Logs from a long buried pavement of pioneer days which -construction crews working on Sedfcrrth's
main street dug up this week were reminders of the street as it exisited ninety years ago. This picture taken
in June, 1879 and looldng south from Goderich Street shows the wooden sidewalks, several steps above a
rough and miiddy main street. The brick buildings in the picture all are now standing.

I wouldn't know Michael Scho-
field if I stepped right on his
head . . and I haven't the as-
Unction to be an expert in any
field, certainly not the sexual
behaviour of young boys. But
rm willing to wager that a Scho-
field Sex School would be the
laiggest waste of time, energy
and finances ever to hit the
British educational system.
I don't suggest that the stud-
ents wouldn't enjoy their, stud-
ies or that they cduldn't learn
something of benefit to them
when they - fent hop into the

What I am suggeking is that
Michael Schofield, who has re-
searched the sexual behaviour
of young people told the Fam-
ily Association's annual confer-
ence, "It must be made clear
that a satisfactory sex life is not
something that comes naturally."
Governments place great store in
the tourist industry and regard it as
one of the larger contributors to a
growing economy.
We are urged to think of tourism at
every level. It is not enough to encour-
age a convention to meet in Toronto or
Montreal.
It is equally important that those of
us in the small towns make welcome
the visitors from the states to the south
or from some further country. We
should encourage them to come again
We ask why are tourists and the -
tourist dollars so important.
People who should know tell us that
not only is it the dollar the 'tourist
spends that is involiecl. For every tour-
ist dollar spent another dollar expendit-

It is criticism like this — typical of
complaints from the press and municip-
alities across the province — that no-
doubt has been a factor in the govern-
ment decision to hold a series of in:
formation sessions across the province.
° A team of Ontario cabinet ministers
will hold what a government press re-
'lease describes as a series of "frank and
informal" dialogue sessions ssn munici-
pal government reform- throughout the

The meetings are designed as a fur-
ther means of two-way communication

to me last week When I picked

a course in technique would re-

that makes life so wonderful for
newlyweds.
Take for instance, the fellow
who comes to the nuptial bed
with a head full of pre-conceived
ideas about how the sex act
should be performed. His blush-
ing bride is not only embarras-
sed by her new role as a woman
who must give herself freely to
her husband, but she is em-
barrassed by- the -fact that she
is to be the focal point of an ex-
periment that will determine
how much hubby has absorbed

She is at the advantage be-
cause she is new at this pastime,
but what is worse she feels her
husband's attentions are second-

Tales of the bathroom
We've come a long way born
the cellar to the recreation
room. And we've come a long
way from the backhouse to the
bathroom.
I clona know whether you'd
call that progress or not. There's
something to be said for both
sidei
You can't store coal and po-
tatoes in the recreation room,
for example. A definite cNs-
advatitage. On the other hand,
you couldn't have a shower In
the backhouse, unless the
leaked and it was 'reining.
a disadvantage.
Fifteen years ago, I was suck-
ered into a brand new pink bath-
room, and I swore it would never
haPPen again FinanetellY, it set
nie back about a year.
Perhaps one shouldn't swnar
about such things. They're tran-
sitory, after all, and besides, it
'doesn't seem to help =eh This
month rve been suckered into
another one. Not pink, thank '
Zem We're going through our
turquoise phase now.
Do you know how • much
plumbers are getting these days?
Of course you do. And carpent-
ers and electricians? Well, I
hereby swear once more a
mighty oath, and with as you
witnesses, that never install
another new bathroom So long
as us-both shall live. Me and the
bathroom that is. When I conk
out, my wife will be right into
the insurance money for another
new one, probably in deep pur-
ple.
What gets me is that there
wasn't a thing wrong with the
one we had. It had a Perfectly
good white cast-iron tub. (The
only thing I enjoyed about the
whole installation was watching
those plumbers move the 800-
pound monster down the stairs.)
There was nothing wrong with
the tub except that you had to
keep your big toe in the drain
or the water would run out. And
as I like to soak for an hair,
with a drink, book and smokes,
this was a bit of a strain on the
bad kriee.
We had a perfectly good toilet
that required the services of a
plumber only about once a
month. We had a towel rack
that fell off the wall with a
tremendous clatter only about
twice a week, nanally when the
rest of the family was asleep.
It wasn't exactly the bathroom
you'd get in the royal s suite at
the Chateau Laurier. The sink
had served many generations
and was a sort of gray-green.
There was a bit of paint missing
here and there.
• rm not an unreasonable man.
rd have gone for a new sink and
maybe ten-twelve dollars worth
of paint, and we'd have been
right as rain, whatever that
atimid expression means.
I said as much to my wife.
And she said approximately ten
times as much to me. Ceramic
tile, already. Turquoise it the
toilet and the gold fleck in the
new linoleum. A "vanity" built
around the sink.
A „vanity! MI is 'vanity. I
need a vanity like I need an-
other couple- of rotten' kids.
It's not really the money. You
can't take it with you. Though
as an old friend of mine, who
is leaded with the aniff 'says, "If
I can't take it with me, I ain't
go-in'."
It's the confusion of trying.to
coordinate carpenter, plumbers
and electrician. Either they're
all working someplace else and
nobody can come, and you jest
sit there in the Wasteland, or
they are all available - at once
and are bumping head and bums
and getting in each other's way,
at five-something an hour.°
It's the endless decisions. Like
where the- toilet paper rack
should be installed Can you
imagine anything more ridicul-
ous than a couple of adults sit-
ting, holly clothed, on the johniry
and practising reaching for the
tissue? Should it be on the wall
straight "ahead? Quite a reach.
And what about little kids? I
offered to bring in some kids to
practise. Should it be beside the
toilet tank? With my bursitis
you could break your arm off at
the shoulder.
Much ado about nothing, But
I'll get my' own back. When-
everything is complete, and tip
to my wife's rigid specifications,
I'm going to demand that a
whole. section' of tile be pulled
out for the installation of a • set
of electric toe-nail. clippers.

We _Owe Much to Tourists
( — By
ure is made, thus, actually creating an
economic activity of $2. Multiplied by
the number of tourist we welcome to
the province each year this means a
total return to the Ontario economy of
$3.2 billion.
While such amounts are beyond the
comprehension of most of us- we can
relate these . tourist dollars to what
they mean to the service station operat-
ors, the restaurant owners and stores in
oar communities.
There is no doubt about it. Tourist
dollars are good dollars. It is only com-
mon sense that we encourage the visit-
ors who bring them, and go out of our
way as citizens and merchants to make
them welcome.

ministers, including Prime Mimster
John Roberts, will particpate in some of
the meetings.
Provincial administration is the only
realistic method of reforming antiquat-
ed assessment practices and ensuring
uniformity but surely the step should
have preceded the establishment of
County school boards and introduction
of regional municipal government, the
Free Press says and adds it is also an
essential Preparatory move toward the
taxation reforms promised by the
Roberts' government
"The new policies encompassed by the
legislation Municipal Affairs Minister
McKeough submitted to the legislature
are sound in principle but the municipal-
lities have quite legitimate objections
to the way the province initiated them.
The assessment takeover should have
come first, not as an abrupt after-
thought."
Whether the belated explanations
which are contemplated will assist in an
acceptance of the proposals remains to
be seen.
