PM Effective Math 1955 Smith P Hossbaeh Ross R Bunn E Adams Occasionally it becomes diffi cult to write a column It Is one thing to comment on news to rejoice over it mock it or to thunder away at it It is ano ther thing to be faced with an accumulation of human which sometimes results in an attitude of what is the use Such was the case last week First we heard of the thunder about the highway scandal and the leaders vigorous defence of the government somewhat mar red by the amazing remark that this mess was inherited from the previous government Welt maybe it was but if it was the present government had a long time to clean it up After all if years werent long enough to clean up the thing then they have been at Queens Park under false pre tenses Next came one of the innumerable select committees report on highway safety with its recommendations and sug gestions of new regulations We were driving to Toronto that day it was slushy and snowing a bit Every time we were stuck behind a truck or passed by a car our windshield became plastered with mud Here we are poor suckers ex posed to the largest advertising balyhoo ever to face consumers concerning the 55 models and there isnt a make of car on the road we have ever seen which doesnt throw mud and with all the beautiful regulations about mud flaps the trucks are still a menace Who is fooling whom Is the trouble a Jack of regulations or is it an unwillingness or in ability to enforce them Nor It it just mud headlights are the same menace We think that some authority should look Into the trouble where the trouble starts in safety namely right at the manufacturers doorstep And to top it all off some fool started sounding off about the milk that Is too expensive and about a new instant dissolv ing milk powder that was about to come on the market We strongly suspect that bird was hired by an advertising agency for milk powder and that he was qualified for his job by letting up balloons when he was a child So the solution is to eliminate the differentials between manufacturing and fluid milk and give the consum er a cheaper product all reduc tions to be taken at the produc ing levels It is almost silly to argue about this but since our great producer organizations didnt deem it necessary to answer in the next days paper maybe we had better prove that wc arent all speechless Only the ones who get paid to do the talking for us are deaf and dumb First we hope that the new powder is better dissolving than the old one for the sake of the ones who are using it and fur thermore we hope that the manufacturers of powder wont lose too many sales to the new process because this product is liable to hurt only one branch of the industry namely powder Secondly may we state that fluid sales will not bo affected as long there is a good qual ity product on the market from clean cows and clean healthy farms Fast dissolving powder will no more replace fluid milk than instant coffee will replace the old fashioned coffee both have their places in the scheme of things And finally if the dairy in dustry at the distributor level wants to sell cheaper milk it knows the technological advan ces that will accomplish this Better merchandising and pack aging and more efficient handl ing is all within its orbit and When they clamor for cheaper milk they want to go their old ways at our expense King City Knowing how to provide heal thful eating for the family is the challenge to every homemaker who desires a happy home This was the thought stressed by Miss Grace Griffin teacher of home economics at Aurora district high school when she addressed King City The February meeting was held at the home of Mrs Ross Walker Mrs Norman Wade a former pupil of Miss Griffin and branch convenor of home and health prepared the program Mrs A was appoint ed convenor of the demonstration by King City branch at the York County picnic at Sharon June According to the roll call there was 490 worth of waistline
