CL ARRAS dia Thursday, May 7th, 1959 .... Notes and Comments More About Food A chicken in the good old days was a hen. It was'a fine plump, tender hen, well- ~ fed but not tough. Of course there were always the old birds. You could get fooled if you didn't know how to buy a chicken, still, on the whole we could get good He tender birds if we wanted them. Nowadays three pound birds are con- standly advertised and just try to get a good big fowl if you can. You must buy a young turkey to do that. Most of these turkeys are good eating but a turkey is not a chicken. The meat is apt to be dry and, well, its just not chicken, The buyers say the public wilt the Small chickens; 'that families are small, people travel about and eat in restaurants where half a chicken or broiler served. Well, 'maybe, this is so, but in a thrée pound chicken you are still paying for the bones all out of proportion to the meat you get and strange as it may seem that meat is becoming tasteless, We have become accustomed to tasteless tomatoes, forced along for a quick market and tasteless oranges and carrots, but tasteless chicken, this seems impossible. Is it the food the fowls are being fed or is _ it the fact that they do not have a growth time sufficient to develop, a flavour? Well, whatever it is chicken is beginning to be tasteless. . Think on the Greeks' Greece to-day is in an unhappy state. - Twenty per cent of the country's labour force is out of work and throughout the country one is confronted with the rotting poverty of the people which stands in awful contrast to the vulgar display of wealth by the few very rich. The government's so- lution, or rather attempted solution for unemployment was recruitment of man- power in the army, Soldiers are every- where but their pay is less than five dollars a month. Half of the entire budget goes to the armed .forces, but the pay is so ri- diculously low that it has done liftle to re- lieve the crippling poverty of the people. This does much to explain why Greece has the fastest growing Communist Party in Europe. And this in-spite of the fact that ten years ago she fought a bloody civil war which was supposed to have immuniz- freezer that were really chickens. A few years ago we were all taught the importance of the Canada food rules, a well-balanced diet is a necessity. If you don't get the right foods you must substi- tute with vitamins. To-day nearly every- one takes vitamins in an era of food pro- duction which is unprecedented. It seems too bad that we can't have looks and qual- ity too. What is the answer? "Whatever it is surely it lies in the hands of our farmers to do something about it. An investigation of the quality of the food" hought for « chickens; an investigation of:what the pub- lic really wants as far as weight and qual- ity go, would be a-start in the right direc: tion ve The other day we saw chickens in a farm They were good, big, plump, tender birds weigh- ing five to seven pounds. They were a joy to behold. The wholesale buy would pro- _bably rot be interested but many city people would be more than pleased to find chickens of this quality again on the mar- ket. We are in danger of malnutrition in an age of plenty if this trend in food is pushed to its'limit. The worst of it is that the whole section of food servicing and dis- tribution does profit from this sort of neat, good-looking package and does not care at all about the real quality. It will be up to the people to protest. ed _her against Communism. To-day the very people who sacrificed most to combat - Communism are beginning to turn towards it... The Church and the Royal Family are feeble bulwarks against the mounting pres- sure, But Greece is a member of NATO. And the two things taken together--her des- 'perate condition and her membership in an organization designed to strengthen the collective position of its members--indi- cate the extent of the failure of the or- ganization. It appears that the wich never learn. And it appears that mankind in general must suffer for their failure to do so.

DECLARED INVALID The vote taken last November on a dining lounge 'license and a cocktail license for Bowmanville has been set aside and declared invalid. Judge John DeN. Kennedy handed down his judgement following a hear- ing in County Court in Cobourg 'sev- eral weeks ago. The three other questions involved in the voting at the same election, the liquor store which was approved and the men's and wom- en's beverage rooms which were not approved, will stand witholit change. It is understood that a new election will be ordered on the two invalidated questions. The decision on the date It is also understood that the Liquor Control Board may now proceed with the operation of a liquor store here. No annoncement has been forthcoming on when this will take place. No vote can be held for three years from the date of the November voting -on the beverage room question. Judge Kennedy ruled that "There were so many irregularities and fail- ures to observe the provisions of The Election Act that in my opinion the motion of Glenholme Hughes and Re- PETERBOROUGH ORFUNS MOVE TO COBOURG Peterborough Orfuns of the Ontario Rugby Football Union 'intermediate games this year at Cobourg, 25 miles south of here.' iy Bill Trim, vice-president, said the reason for the switch was the poor home game attendance in the last two years. If the home games are played in Cobourg, the team would known as the Peterborough-Cobourg Combines, said Trim. The team would practice here here and might have one or two games under the lights. Cobourg which hasn't had an inter- mediate team since the Galloping Ghosts in 1952, wants to get back in- to football, Trim says.

NEW ANNEX BOUNDARY WOULD GIVE STOUFFVILLE 1200 ACRES A suggested new boundary for the proposed annexation of land in Whit-: church and Markham Townships, would add some 1200 acres to Stouff- ville. - Of this amount approximately 650 acres "would come from Whit- church and 550 from Markham. The new" boundary runs from the Whitchurch-Uxbridge townline as far West as the present Stouffville bound- ary and would include all of lots 2 and 3 Whitchurch. On the Markham side, the new terrtiory would include all of lot 34, and the new boundary would run from the Markham-Ux- bridge town-line west to the present Stouffville boundary which is just west of Edgevale Motors, This proposal was brought forward after some discussion at a joint meet- ing of the three councils on Tuesday evening. Reeve Geo. Richardson said that while council members realized the village must have some room to expand, it seemed that 15600 acres, the original proposal, was too much to ask from Whitchurch, and more than Stouffville could handle as well, Markham's' reeve Clark, and other members of the Markham delegation expressed satisfaction at the suggest- ed boundary on hair side of the town- line. 100 FOXES KILLED 'IN MARKHAM TOWNSHIP Clerk Harry Crisp informed Mark- ham Tdwnghip cotineil on Monday that the bounty has been paid én over 100 foxes killed in the corporation.

M. "Bill" Morri- son, N.H.L. linesman, is in Europe to officiate during the five-week exhibi- tion series between Boston Bruins and New York Rangersi, The tour will take him through at least six counties, with the possibility that the itinerary may be further en- larged.- Time of departure called for games in London, Geneva, Paris, Ant- werp, Murich, Dortmund, Essen, Ber- lin, and Vienna. STIVER BROS. BEGINNING SIXTY YEARS OF OPERATION Stiver Bros., one of the best known farm feed firms throughout the Stouffville and Uxbridge district, is beginning the sixtieth year of of business. The business was found- ed in Unionville in 1900 by the late C. H. Stiver, now has branches in Stouff- ville, Aurora and Uxbridge. The Stouffville outlet was begun by the late Frank -Stiver in 1902 and the Aurora business in 1904. The Ux- bridge branch was opened just four years ago. ; TO PAY FOR RADIES DEATHS IN ONTARIO COUNTY Ontario County farmers who Tost livestock through radies during the past year will receive compensation through the county, This week, two valuators were named by the county council: to determine the value of the cattle, horses, goats, sheep and swine, The valuators -are Oscar Downey, Myrtle Station, and Russell Morrison, of Thorah Twp. Mr. Downey will work in the south portion of the county and Myr. Morrison the north. The by-law appointing the two men stipulates that 40 pericent of the loss will be contributed by the federal gov- ernment and 40 per cent by the pro- '|voncial government with the country paying the remainder. "According to the by-law, owners of livestock which have died since April 1, 1958, are elig- tion. ible for payment for the loss. To be eligible for compensation the owner of livestock must acquire a cer- trificate from the Veterinary-General of Canada stating that the animal died of rabies. This would mean that any farm animal must be examined by a veterinary before being disposed of. FORMER MOUND STAR ATTENDED LEAF BASEBALL BANQUET Ten Stouffville athletes attended Royal York Hotel last Tuesday night. District Churches Scugog, Manchester and Prospect Last week Friday, the Rural School Teachers in our area met in Manches- | ter Church, and invited your Minister to take charge of the Worship. One of the Professors from the College of Education in Toronto gave an out- standing lecture. It was plainly to be seen that underlying all his ex- periences with boys and girls, there was a great love for them. As a preacher, your Minister feels that with Mr. Earl Cook, a former mound star with the Toronto team, was the host for the Stouffville group. His guests! Broadway, Ken Schell, Ken Wagg, Bud Lehman, Les Clarke, Stan Miller, Dr, Ron Smith, and Lloyd Jenkins, _ ~ Bob Hassard was also among the invited guests but he had to cancel his plans, due ta a hockey workout by the Whitby Dunlops in the Weston Arena at eight o'clock. ' NEW DONORS NEEDED 0f Many Things by Ambrose Hills SOCIAL EGGS About five years ago, Scialist M.P. and one-time parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Food in England, lambasted the Tory government for decontrolling eggs. The Tories had swept away the nation and the driority i rights. This said the socialist, would mean that eggs would become a luxury only the rich could enjoy. "We are likely to have fewer eggs at higher prices," prophesied Mr. Willey. It was a "Tory sellout of the housewife," he said. Now five years later, everybody in England can have ham and eggs for breakfast, without giving it the second thought. Instead of an egg a week, enjoyed under the old government- planned regime, even a poorer family can afford eggs every day. The price is cheaper, the product more plentiful. In other words, things turned out ex- actly the opposite to what the Social- ists proclaimed so bitterly. Indeed, if there is a problem now, it is a problem of abundance rather than scarcity. This the Socialists can't understand. They had declared, when controls were stopped, that it would put eggs "out of the reach of many young children, invalids, and ex- pectant mothers, who had guaranteed priorities under rationing and are now abandoned under the decontrol. Decontrol will not create any more eggs." They are proven wrong. What they should have recognized was that control, which they practised, did not control any eggs. Controls limit, re- strict and inhibit producers. Decon- trol--the setting free of the product did for invalids, expectant mothers, and everybody, what rationing could not do. It lowered the price, it brought abundance rather than scar- city. This same dynamic impetus of free- dom has been demonstrated so often you would think everybody would be convinced. Yet Socialists, time and again, sell themselves the notion that a group in London, or Washington, or Ottawa can plan production so well that they can legislate us into pros- perity. The fact is, we plan best when each interested individual does the planning -- and suffers for his mis- takes or gains by his wisdom. Wisdow is something governments seem to toss out of the window when they get involved in matters concern- ing food. In Manitoba, for example, housewives are allowed to buy mar- garine but they must colour it them- selves; it is against the law for the manufacturer to color it for them. Yet it is a food product listed for use in Canada's official Good Health Rules! How ridiculous ean you get? In Can- ada there are strict laws to keep man- ufacturers from getting together on marketing plans; but at the same time, there is special/marketing legislation which compels many farmers against their will to engage in such plans in the marketing of food products.

On Sunday we celebrated The Sae- rament of the Lord's Supper. It was very encouraging to have séven out of twelve of our Elders on the Island with us. We hope that the time will come, when all our Elders will even deny themselves, and be at the Lord's Table. We were happy to have the Cornish's from Oshawa with us, and we are looking forward to seeing all our Summer visitors again. Our 1st Summer visitor though, was Mrs. E, Loates of Toronto, who has been with us for a number of Sundays. Did vou know that there is a family who has a summer cottage on our Island, and who visits the Island every week during the winter months, and even do their shopping at our little store? In the not too distant future, many more will come, and we hope that a goodly percentage will come and wor- ship with us.

We missed quite a few faces at Church on the Island, and also at Prospect. Our congregation at Man- chester keeps growing, and thls is Good News. The time will never he the right time to commence attending Church, except we make it the right time. And the best time is right now, We are having special Services on Sunday, and we invite all our families to attend. On the Island our Junior Choir will lead us in song, and the Sacrament of Infant Baptism will be celebrated. Our Saviour told us to bring the children to Him, and that is what Christian Baptism means. Sick- ness is still responsible for keeping, Your Minister had the very pleas- ant experience on Sunday after the service at Prospect of visiting Rev. E. |' Janet Warren, Bobby DeHart, Valorie Crossley Hunter at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Durham. It was many years ago in Carlton St. United Church, To- ronto, that he first saw Dr. Hunter. (It was at a Sunday evening Service, and believe it or not, (Rabbi Isserman of Holy Blossom Synagogue, was the Preacher, Such a thing had never happened before in Toronto. I shall always remember Dr. Hunter as lead- ing the way to a better appreciation were -- Messrs, Ted Cadieux, Lorne rising prophets of gloom would have ' of those with whom we may not agree theologically. And by the way, we have invited Dr. Hunter to be our Anniversary Preacher at Manchester lon Sunday, September 6th, morning land evening. That may seem a long | way off, but June, July and August have a way of just gathering speed, and lo! we are in September. Follow- ing our custom of the past two years, we shall be meeting soon to plan for our Anniversary Supper. Prospect will have their Anniversary Services the last Sunday of September, and the Island on Sunday, October 18th. Last year we held our first Joint Sup- per for Yhe whole Island, and we hope that our Stewards and Leaders of our two Women's Associations will plan to do so again. Our Brownies are meeting May 1 (Monday) and our Cubs and Scouts will do se Tuesday. Next week there will be another initiation cere- mony for our "Guides" and we look forward to another visit from Murs. Hill and Mrs. Godley, our Commis- sioners for the avea. Scugog "Head" W.A, will meet on Wednesday of this week, and Manchester W.A. on Thurs- day. Next week Scugop "Grace" W.

On the last Wed- nesday of May, the Prospect Ladies! will hold their Bazaar in the basement of the Church. We extend a very the area. The Ladies of Scugog "Grace" W. A. are very busy making covers for the cushions on the benches of the Church. The floor of the Auditorium has been painted and varnished, the ceiling in the basement painted. Thanks ever so much Ladies, and we do hope that all of you who have helped so much will come and enjoy | the beauty and comdort with us at our Sunday worship. Happy birthdays to Richard Edgar, iden, Barry Prentice, Arthur Goose, and Darlene Warren of the Island; to Patricia Woodcock of Manchester, and to Marie Elenore Holtby and Robert Smith of Prospect. Our prayers and love go out to all who are not well, and we invite you one and all to come and worship with us on Sunday, Mo- thers Day. 500 Bushel Potato Club A number of Ontario County Potato Growers met in the Department of Agriculture Office, Uxbridge, on Mon- day, April 27th, in connection with the re-organization of the 500 Bushel Potato Club. This club was organ- ized in 1945 and has carried out a suc- cessful competition each year. There were twenty-eight potato growers who completed this high yield club in 1058. The winner of the 1958 competition was Mr. Bert Lockie, Zephyr, with an estimated yield of 814 bushels per acre. The average estimated yield of all twenty-eight growers in the 1958 competition was 495 bushels. Contestants may use any recom- mended potato variety they wish and they may use any means at their dis- posal to secure the highest possible yield from the one acre they have |* I cordial invitation to all the Ladies in © | and' entered in the competition.
