Berrill The Pot Calls the Kettle Black In our English language there are single words that can make us feel good; quickly bringing to mind a happy thought or event. Also, there are words that never fail to make us wince and squirm. Why? It's chiefly a feeling of guilt, though not always a personal thing. Guilt for our fellowman. And here we're thinking of those single-word epithets pinned on people because of their racial origin or colour. Throughout life we've heard freely of chink, wop, + nigger, dago and limey. And others equally flattering. Then added to these are the stories and jokes aimed at particular countries or areas. These, mostly infantile and most belittling. Then came a time of great turmoil in Central Europe causing mass evacuation of displaced persons. And in our world of short-cuts and abbreviations these people became known as D.P.'s. But soon it was evident that to our "Name callers" every person with a hard-to-pro- nounce name or an accent other than home-grown, was a D.P. And by tone of voice would infer that D. P. stands for Dumb Peasant. Later though, out of the blue, came one more moniker and, perhaps this one hit hardest as it's all-inclusive. Ho race is immune. And it too, comes through with an overtone of inferiority. Drop-out. Anyone who dares to enter the working-world without the proper bits of paper is now called a drop-out. And for any young person brought into court * for any reason, there'll be mention of his school grade if it's on the debit side. But never a possible explanation. Oh please, don't misunderstand! We're all For education, and only trying to say that education is not completely determined by the number of years spent in a class-room and that no one should be branded - second-rate because he failed to function there. But our modern way of life demands that we have a piece of paper to prove that we've taken proper instruction, and, attended school. for the needed number of years. Which eliminates anyone who tried to make it the hard way. However, if a prospective employer would suggest or insist on a written test dealing with the necessary knowledge for the task at hand he might be pleasantly enlightened. At least, we, firmly believe that if a person has a natural bent he also has a built-in lure that eggs him on in that direction. What about all the bright kids who had to leave school for any of countless reasons? This couldn't mean that they ceased to learn or simply rusted away. Surely, numbers of them have gone out there and successfully carved some very special niche. We add, our smypathies are rooted deeply here, though we were never a drop-out. On the contrary, we were a drop-in. We dropped into that little country-school-house every chance we got. And our absence wasn't for lack of interest, ambition, or love of all that was offered there. We were fettered by conditions beyond our control. Meanwhile, we like to remember that many, many people of humble beginning, some through self-school- ing, others, who deserted the classroom to follow a - dream, have still managed to make worthwhile contributions to their country and leave their names in the annals of history. After all, what is a formal education beyond teaching us how to use our god-given equipment? And if we do learn it on our own, is it any less learned?

MURRAY ~ Electrical Contractor [J -- CALL US FOR FREE ESTJMATES ON COMPLETE ELECTRICAL HOME HEAT Phone: 985-7005 | 274 ROSA ST. -- PORT PERRY V More and more Ontario dairy larmers are wondering how to combal rising feed costs and still keep milk production high. "Feed cows according to milk pro- duction levels," suggests Dr. G. K. MacLeod, professor in the Animal and Poultry Science Department at the Ontario Agricultural College. "While underfeed- ing energy and« protein causes the milk production of high producers to drop, the over-condition of heifers and of cows producing less milk indicates their milk production would not drop if they were given less high energy feed." If possible, feed each cow grain according to its pro- duction record and accepted guidelines, such as those in the Ontario Ministry'of Agri- culture and Food factsheets, "Feeding for More Econo- mical Milk Production" (Order No. 74-066) and "Guidelines for Feeding Dairy Cattle" (Order No. 74-020), available from county and district agricul- tural offices. "Remember though, when a pound of grain costs as much as, or more than, a pound of milk nets, you should consider restricting grain to all, except for the high producers," says Dr. PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Dec. 18, 1974 -- 19 Feed cattle according to production MacLeod. If labor and housing requirements make individual feeding impos- sible, feed cattle in groups, moving them to lower grain groups as their production drops. Since good quality forages are usually - the cheapest source of nutrients, feed them free choice. The best quality forage should go only to cows in peak production. To balance "forages. and grains, have them tested at the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food feed testing laboratory at the University of Guelph. Further inform- ation about feed testing is available from county and district agricultural offices.
