In August the board' voted to end school patrols effective Sept. and end their financial support rof adult crossing guards at the end of the year. The board employs an adult guard at Victoria Public School in Goderich and pays half the wages of a similar guard at the intersec- tion of Highway 4 and Victoria streets in Exeter-near the Exetei public School. The original decision was made lo eliminate the guards and student patrols to end the possib- ility of legal liability in the event, of an accident. At that time the board'hoped Exeter and Goderich councils would pay for the guards as other councils in the county do. On September 4, Exeter council agreed to assume the cost as of January 1 1976 but changed their policy two weeks later and asked '11 the school board to reconsider the, decision regarding the sharing of costs involved. • Director of Education John Cochrane said Monday he felt there was. some misunderstand- ing between crossing guards and student patrols. The original Goderich resolu- tion requested that the Board continue providing a student patrol safety program 'for the elementary school system and said it would review the matter of crossing guards and would take A baptisinal ceremony was conducted at Egmondville United Church by Rev.

Exeter board member Clarence "King" MacDonald said, "I don't know who shouldhay for the service of the crossing guard but in no way can a grade seven or eight student handle street crossings during the busy traffic on Highway 4 in Exeter.".

I had thrown a small and unselect party on the last night of the convention: At least it began small, It grew steadily larger because it was unselect: everybody-who passed the open door of my room was hollered at to cummon in. Fortunately, most of the people who were passing were weekly newspaper people with their wives, girl friends, or grandmothers. With regard to the ladies, I must confess, said he gallantly, that you couldn't ea, tell the girls from the grandmothers. Perhaps that is because it's Women's International Year, but I doubt it. I have noticed in the last few years that girls are becoming more like grandmothers: the glasses, the long skirts, the humped shoulders; and, for good or worse, grannies are becoming more like girls: smoking cigarettes, 'drinking rye whiskey, and elevating their bosoms, with the aid of goodness-only-knows-what miracles of elastic, to positively perilous positions. Well, back to the party. Federal and provincial politics, women's lib, starving editors, rotten kids, and overpaid workers, were dealt with fairly smartly and expeditiously. They were all. bad, we agreed, except for the starving editors, the last bulwark in the fight for freedom, law and order, the old virtues, and-a return to the "good years" 'of the DepresSion. This was standard fqr a party, and I was pleased that everything was so copl. But, as every host or hostess of every party, everywhere, and every time, knows, most people sensibly go home to bed, and mine host is stuck with the Rag-Tag and Bob-Tail of the party, who still have a few bones stuck in their craws and want to wash them away with some fairly strong solvent. - • It happened. I won't mention names, becausethey are two fine western editors, good to their children, kind to their wives, pillars in their communities, and I don't want them run out of town on some torn-up rails of a defunct line of the C.P.R., not 'tarred and feathered, 'but smeared from head to foot with printers' ink and copiaof their old editorials. I'll just call them Rag-Tag and Bob-Tail. Rag:Tag finally ran out -of arguments and steam about 4 a.m., but Bob-Tail kept me up until 6.47 a.m., the bus leaving at 8.30 for thefishing trip, me going, him not, and I hope, if he reads this, he is dying slowly and painfully from an incurable disease. This is whit they got hacking about, with me as the judge; should or should not a weekly editor run in his columns court news? And that is why I thought your readers 'might .have an opinion. Raga•Tag said: "Absolutely. It is our duty. No one can be spared. We owe it to -otia readers. If I myself were convicted or impairea ariving, I would run it in the paper." Bob-Tail spoke thus: "Blank-beep! Who do you think you are — God? The guy or the gal has already been judged and sentenced by the law. He' or s4,d has been punished. All you are doing by printing it in the paper is doubling the sentence, exposing him or her to the scorn and contempt of friends and neighbors and , salivating sensation-seekers who swoop like vultures on the garbage that is oth •er peoples' troubles." - As you can see, Bob-Tail was a little more poetic. But Rag-Tag was not to be downed so easily. He fought back. - "O.K., smart-ass. What would you do if there was a murder in your town?" You'll note that he had by now dropped' the subjurfctive. Bob-Tail:"I'd ignore it. I'd say 'in the paper that So-and-So had passed away on Such-and-Such. If the Calgary papers wanted to come in and make a big murder thing of it, let 'em. You know what I'd do? I'd go and see the widow(or wicidwer) and talk to her (or him) as a friend." I won't bore you with any more. The argument went on for two hours, with the judge (me), looking at a non-existent watch, brightly mentioning that the fishing trip was starting in two hours, and even calling room service to see what time it . was'. So what would you do, gentle reader, if you were a weekly editor? Would you run the court news, and break some poor -mother's heart? Or do you think that the public has a right to know that the mayor' got 'drunk and beat up his wife? When I was a weekly editor, I had to cope with this. I decided, with the full concurrence of my partner, that there was no particular point in running court news. Too many people ;were being doubly' punished, and why? Merely for the delectation of the righteous. Strangely enough-, or not, the people who howl and plead the most, when it •is their family about to be exposed in public print, are the ' most righteous. The less righteous are almbst proud that nephew Elmer '.'god his name in the •paper." . Three days later, on our fishing trip, I reintroduced the subject, and saw two weekly newspapermen, that time from Ontario, pratically come to blows over the issue. Daily papers treat the subject with the utmost cynicism. They have a court reporter. He or she reports only those cases before the judge which will make a "good story": the salacious, the sensational, the bizarre — only those that will make the reader chuckle or slaver. What do you think? Perhaps your editor would be interested in your opinicin. Does , he or she run court news?Does it serve any purpose? You judge. Write him, gr her. Write me, care of him or her. I would really like to know how ordinary, decent human beings feel about this. wen formula 1,1711 PC.11074 OR $ 1 .66 HERBAL p441-3 SKIN SOFTENING BATH OIL-115 ml or BUBBLE BATH 230 ml 2$2 9 FOR • 0 PRO SHAVE SHAVING CREAM 11 oz. aerosol Lirile, Menthol, Regular or Snow Lemon.
