From My Window
-- By Shirley J. Keller
We've all heard or read the Throne
43eech. by this time and most of us 'hay e
formed our own Opinions about it. Quite
frankly, I thought it was chuck full of,, •
good ideas and just about exactly what'
Canada needs the present time.
But I suppose, your reaction will depend
upon your politics and your politics are
your own business.
Strange as it may seem I still have not
' -decided whether or not I'm totally com-
mitted to Prime Minister 'Pierre Elliott Tru- •
dean. He's that strange combination. of
wit and wisdom which everyone admires -
but„few .ever really come to understand.
.One minute he is sauve and charming.
a 'red carnation inthis-buttonhole. The next
he is snapping sharply at anyone who quest-
ions his Motives.
But every once in while, Canadians
get a glimmer of Trutleau's "just society"
and I think the clearest view we have had
• so far is through the Throne Speech.
Take the question of lowering the vot-
ing age to 18 years.' There will be plenty
of opposition to that one I suspect (many
will charge that's the only way Trudeau
can be re-elected since few Canadians over
35 would cast a ballot in his favor again) ,
but If you think about it fOr a while, it is
mighty unjust to expect a young man or
young woman of 18 years of age or so to
work every day, pay income tax and not
have a vote on the governments which ad-
ntnister those funds.
The Governer-General had hardly;•flip-
ped over the-;last page oldie throne Speech
I before oppositibn Thembersitarted to find
". fault With its contents: That's natural, I '
guess. It is their job to be disagreeable.
One of the,first complaints came from
the Conservative ranks, I believe, They
laid the government had failed to come to
grips•with the most serious problems -
flaticin and housing, •
- • The opposition in this -country reminds
. me of a lady I once. kneW who used to bark
at her husband.beeause he didn't scuffle
beans to suit het, So one day he jumped
off the Wader And told her to take OVer;'
1`lte lady deefiried fel* she had to admit,"1
'huOW itCW it shOUld (lent but I dan't do
it myself. "
Fighting inflation and proViding adequate
moderate-priced housing shouldn't be•'-tod
difficult for men trained and educated to
andle these mattere, 'but it is. I can't
explain it. You can't explain it. The gover-
nment can't explain it. Even the opposition
can't explain it.
• Oh everyone has theories,.. everyone
that is except government opposition: They
claim to have Canada's welfare uppermost
in their minds but let the gtvernment sug-
gest something - anything - and the oppos-
ition will reject it. What's worse, they re-
ject it without having any suggestions that
are better.
Not too long ago I heard the Prime Min-
ister fielding questions at a press conference.
He said the federal government had spent
quite a bit of-money to encourage concrete
and constructive suggestions from all politic-
al parties which could possibly aid decision-
Making, of Course, the hitch was in the
words "concrete and 'constructive-but never-
theless, in the opinion of the government, '
nobody had offered any ideas for satisfactory
alternative legislation.
Just you Wait. The opposition' is scream-
ing for some kind of housing legislation.
When it finally does come, they'll pooh-.
,pooh it, either because it is too much or
too little, too extravagant or too cheap, • ' •
too restrictive or too permissive.
And the same thing goes for polldies
on 'inflation.
And do you know what? I can accept
that because from the birth of Canada that's
been the way of things here. I can't imag-
ine how, but it does seem to be,,pretty ef-
fective type of governmental system: `'I
drink most things ate just great in this na ,d911
I don't have many problems. c,„ertairilr'
housing isn't.a concern fderne," thank God,
Inflation bothers me only when I pay My
taxes and somehow, I feel I get pretty good
value for most of my talc dollars,

There was no lack of Publicity, over
the weekend,. so fare as Seaforth was
concerned. Radio and TV newscasts
through Sunday ,and daily newspaper
headlines in Monday editions carried
the name of the town over a wide• area
in reporting early Sunday morning ex-
changes ,between visiting garigd;
gangs.
But it is the kind of publicity with
which we could well do without. Nobody
likes to have things said which em-
phasize the problems and difficulties
which face either individuals or com-.
munities. And yet at the same time we
must recognize that these same prob-
lems- and difficulties, unfortunate as
they may be, are part and parcel- of the
days activities. In reporting the week-
end events as they. did the news media
was only doing its duty and carrying
Years
One of -the more harmless but cer-
tainly amusing fads which has emerged
in this age of affluence is the wide-
spread urge to collect "antiques." And
that word has undergone a complete,
metamorphosis since free and easy
money has become a part of our way
of life.
There was a time when an antique
was some item of furniture, or perhaps
pottery, which had survived two or
three centuries in relatively good con-
dition. Perhaps it was an original Chip-
pendale chair, the product of a master
craftsman, or an authentic Stradivar-
ius violin or a Ming dynasty vase.
Not so today. A few months ago one
of our acquaintances 'held up a small
tin aject and offered to bet that we
wouldn't know what it was. We should
have. slaPped down a ten-spot, for the
object was nOthing. more antique than
a nutmeg grater — and we can't re-
member a- time when there wasn't one
of those things around our house.
We know another fellow who has his
house jammed to the' eaves with odds
and bits 'from the older homes in the
out its responsibilities to the public.
All the ingredients for a full scale
riot were present and Scaforth is for-
tunate that the trouble was not more
extended than it was. The fact that it
was cleared up so quickly and the
trouble makers dispersed with relative-
ly little damage reflects 'great credit on
the local police force and on members
of the OPP who co-operated so fully.
A combination of force coupled with
restraint, despite the abuse to which
the men were subjected, held participa-
tion to a minimum and resulted in an •
early end 'to hostilities.
Certainly Seaforth can be thankful'
that the local force had taken neces-
"sary steps to provide for assistance if
needed and for the so effective and
ready co-operation extended by the On-
tario Provincial Police.
profit on every one of 'them. High 'on
the list of desirabIaare the old-fashion
ed commode sets — pottery basin, -Wat-
er pitcher, toothbrush mug and the
you-know-what. Apparently these seta
fetch a handsome price, as high as a
hundred dollars if they are complete.
All they do for. us personally'is 'bring
back memories of a more uncomfortable
way of life before we enjoyed the
blessings of warm bathrooms and run-
'ning water. Most folks paid a great
deal more than a hundred bucks to 'get
rid of those old things.
An antique no longer ,need be beauti-
ful nor even particularly old. Pieces of
harness, a chunk Off a 'plough,' a home-
ly old kitchen range, a,wash board —
all have achieved a new status in this
age of sophistication. And brother, if
you happen to have a 20-year-old car
stashed away in your barn, hang onto
it for dear life. It's probably worth a
thousand dollars •right now and it's
climbingyeat about an extra -hundred
every six months. (The Wingham Ad-
vance-Times). •
Well, Thanitsgive has •COnte rand went
and here we areune ing into dismal Nov-
ember', and I'm farther behind withevery-
thing than I was fast June. -
On the second day of bay, I began
cleaning up the FaSernent. And I can prove
it. There's still a sordid little heap of dust,.
detergent and other .basement garbage sit-
ting there, proof positive that I got one ,
corner swept out. It's in edirect line with
the washer, so that you hate to walk ar-
ound it every time. This creates some in-
wresting Comments.
My major project of the summer was to
have been putting a new top on a little
back porch, under which we put our or-
bage cans. There's an ingenious lid that
opens, made of two-by ,-fou'rs. One hinge
was going and a couple of the timbers
were loose.
With winter coming o
were broken right off, and whethO hingesant
to put something in the garbage cans, you
don't life the lid, You lift eight two-by-
fours, singly, pile them up, put the jink
in, then replace them. It takes only five
minutest And every time you go through
the operation, it's raining.
Another plan was to rent a chain saw
and cut up all the huge oak limbs piled
along ,the fence, for use in the fireplace. ,
They're still.there. Speaking of fences,
there was to be a new one this year. But
I couldn't get at the old one because of
all those oak limbs piled against it. Pretty
frustrating.
Then there was the hedge. I was going
to tear ft out and plant a new one. The old
one was getting rotten in spots. It's still
there.
I was going to play a lot of golf and get
fit. I even asked my wife •into playing,
and paid her fees. I played about eight
times, and got fit all right. I now fit size
33 pants instead of 31. But.my wife had
a great season. She shot her first .game
last week: Five holes, at $16. ,a hole. Ark
'the club it closed' now.
-With such an active, strenuous summer
behind me, it was good to get back to the •
orderly job of teaching, where you have to
do' things, whether you feel like it or not.,
