A tot wanders out of her own yard into a neighbor's, falls into the swimming pool, and drowns. The child was trespassing. Yet the pool owners must answer a criminal charge because of the child's death. There can be no doubt that a pool owner would, indeed, be prudent to take ordinary preto protect children cautions against falling in' a private pool, but we dont believe he has the only responsibility. We're just old fashioned enough to believe that parents arc, primarily, responsible for their children. Parents normally know Uic danger spots in their community. If there is an open ditch, an old well, a crossing, a mean dog, becs, or swimming pool, or any other bad situation, they warn their" children and take extra precautions to keep their children away. Yet, the modrcn trend is, if a child strays into the street and is hit by a car, the motorist is sued; if a child runs across a neighbors yard and trips over a hose or piece of equipment, the neighbor gels sued.

By way of comparison, he said Uiat in West Germany food cost 25, in England in Russia 31, 52, and in some of Uic undeveloped countries as much as 85 to 90. The speaker expressed the fear, however, that the farmer is subsidizing Uic consumer at the 18 figure. "The cattlemen are losing money," he asserted.
