the tribune thursday september 29 1977 s for seniors the fourth quarter good things come in small packages that may be a good slogan for the jewellery industry but it doesnt seem to apply to the grocery trade or restaurant business mrs a b kitchener t waterloo record reader a winner in our biggest beef contest complains about it living alone and requiring perishable frozen and refrigerated items in small quantities to avoid spoilage and waste she cannot get them most of the time you cant get pints of milk frozen juices often are not available in the smaller cans bread is usually offered in the large loaf half sizes being hard to get eggs come by the dozen some stores will split a pack cereals are available in small packages assortments but are more costly per ounce sorry per gram many other items are more per unit in small packs out of proportion to the cost of extra packaging for example an eight ounce jar of instant coffee costs 719 at the same time the two ounce jar was 219 when sales are held they usually apply to the larger packages meat for example by leslie holbrook and but admittedly it to others things can be sometimes are dif- would be much better to be able to order smaller lowerpriced meals in the ferenlin florida some stores specialize in small jfes oitiesforcwiplesand a rovlng singles tins should be for canadla hotel restaurant much more widespread closely related to this tis the beef submitted by mrs ept of medicine hat another book prize goes out she writes as a senior con sumer my biggest beef is the size of helpings of fered to senior citizens in restaurants we pay for food which we cant eat and suffer the indignity of asking for a doggie bag for an often nonexistent dog restaurants should have smaller helpings available at say half the menu price this would save us money but just as important it would avoid the terrible waste of food i vigourously agree with this but urge the albertari lady not to be embarrassed about the doggie bag bit lots of people do this many who can afford to pay for the waste but still hate to see it high class restaurants are getting used to such requests and if the waiter does look down his nose at you so what its your money and you are paying for the whole meal magazine of the hospitality trade in my morhrhy column i have been urging restauran- teurs to offer such ser vices to older folk and who want to curtail their calorie in take you get some queer reactions one noon hour i looked over a menu in one of our chain restaurants the dish i fancied was available in a childs portion so i or dered that they told me they wouldnt serve the smaller order because i wasnt a child an appeal to the manager without saying that 1 wrote for the trades magazine was to no avail how crazy can you get lets have your examples lets fight such ruddy nonsense readers questions and comments should be sent to the tribune co po box 1506 guelph ontario n1h 6n9 corn crop looks good byaawall agricultural representative our corn crop in york region looks really- good but it needs more hot weather to mature it properly the weather is a big factor for everything now of course combining planting wheat and silo filling the market for grain is bad this fall for growers it is a situation where some form of stabilization is needed and we are waiting final details on the programs coming up the stabilization price on last years corn has been set at 218 per bushel there will be a payment from the federal government if the average market price for i corn sold between sep tember 1 last year and august 31 this year is below 218 the average hasnt been worked out yet but we estimate that it will be very little below this figure- this years crop will be eligible for full stabilization a com bination of both the federal and provincial plans the federal oiie will make up any dif ference between the average market price and the support price of 90 per cent of the average sales to the trade are acceptable of course and sales to other far mers may also be ac cepted in the provincial plan weights dates and other details are very important silo gas is a very serious hazard at filling time and for 10 days after it comes from the fermentation and being heavier than air hangs just over the silage and for the last five years down the chute to feed the provincial plan rooms adds a further payment to bring it up to 95 per cent of the same previous average growers have to enroll in the provincial plan and pay a feeto cover one third of the cost of the program full details are not ready yet but anyone selling corn how should have proper invoices made for future use it can kill quickly and can also cause permanent lung damage feed rooms have to be well ventilated and no one should enter a partly filled silo without running the blower for awhile first markham fair- starts next week in a new location with all new buildings and facilities v- 2 if vs need skates we have them
