‘Punch’ Said it

YOU don't need to have a long memory to reiiicmilierr that it WV-'16 T0¢‘0|W0 _ ' George unch‘ Imlacth. who was quoted as suiggestuig that Montreal Canadiens wouldn't make the playotllls this season. :

Well, folks who llotr the Mioiitirealers surely must have mjioyed ‘that 7-3 biasing handed the visitors from the Queen city Wedncsday m.gh_t in Montreal Forum. The Habs surely left no doubt as to their superiority as they outplayed l'mllach'| defending Stanley (hip champions from beginning to end.

OF course. Punch has since stated that he was ‘more or iess joking‘ when he made this statement. He explained he want- pd go get a ‘rise’ out of Montreal newsmen and he surely did gel this. Naturally Montreal papers splashed it ' gport paiges beilore Punch landed in there for his first game. Nothing Imlacli can do now will get him off the hook on this utterance. It's done and over with. but Canadians‘ fans will not let Punch forget.

rather surprised that even a small segment of our farmers voiced objections with respect to the proposed ban on potato top killer now widely used in_ the province. It was Prime Minister Chamberlain who came close to scuttling Great Britain with his "Wait and see Policy" in lh 9 days leading up to the Second World War. Hitler put it over him just like a tent. Potatoes are one crop that is vulnerable to arsenic now in use in the current potato top killer... it comes in direct contact with potatoes as they grow and mature in the soil. What is there now is there for all time... it does not disinte- grate. The French call potatoes pomme de lerre... meaning fruit of the soil... and they are in st that. When we landed in France in February 1915 the first French I learned was to ask for "pom- me de terre frit" or in other words ‘fried spuds' and they sure could fry them.

PART OF BLAME

I know farmers who l'|8V€ stopped using this particular top killer entirely and ‘others who refrain from using it on P013‘ toes designed for home consum- ption. This fall I drove 20 miles to get potatoes from a farmer who lets nature...‘ Jack Frosl..do the killing job if the potatoes were not planted early enoulh for them to mature and die of old age. Methinks that farmers themselves are to blame for It least a portion of their troubles. Take the loss of our turnip mar- ket. or near loss. it has been dy- ing for about eight or lo years.
