Bring Quick Results (News-Record Photo) SUGAR and SPICE . e hi. the Maitland River A SUMMER RHAPSODY Summertime in this country is a mixture of so many,1;lion- derful things that I -*euld happily leave for 'the next world, at once,' f someone said to me, "Sorry, old boy, but you'll never be able to spend another summer in Canada". Perhaps the fascination of a Canadian summer might be compared to falling in love, once a year, with a passionate, unpredictable woman. Just as you are never quite sure where you're at with a dame, you are never sure of what a Canadian summer 'has in store for you. She might greet you with. the warm, 'seductive scents of June and, just as you are about to seize her, retreat into a frame of mind so chilly that you're diving for your recently dis- carded woollies. In July, she turns on the charm full blast, clutching you in a sizzling embrace that makes your head reel and your feet falter. But when you've thrown caution 'to the wind's and submit yourself entirely to the affair — in short, when you go on your holidays — she ha's a change of mood and weeps for -two weeks without pause. When August comes, her murrnurious langor, the sheer, delectable sight 'and smell of her, sends you running once more into her round, golden arms — and her perfume gives you hay fever. • On Labour bay, leaving you frustrated, exasperated, exhaus- ted and broke, she smiles once enigmatically, and heads south to look for fresher lovers and bigger bankrolls. Ah, she's a bad One, old Mesmeranda Summer. She de- lights in making kids, whiny or sank, giving them sunburn, There's a chapter called "Don't Feed The Bassoons Bananas", as discourse on dais- arid - directing therm into pat- steal music.

This for the Sake of tormenting their mothers. She doesn't like women, you see. That is, young women. And. her Malice towards them is easily grasped by looking at the costumes she persuades them to wear at the beaches and in town. I wouldn't be sur- prised to hear her chortling merrily about the topless swim suit silliness, which she doubt- less started. Teenagers she likes to tease. She fills them with mysteriOus urges and yearnings which make them drive like retarded orangoutangs, dance in their bare feet amid broken bottles and rattlesnakes, and fall' in love With people who should be put away in institutions. A Budding Leacock ? ? THE GREAT CANADIAN LOVER By Mervyn 1 Huston PUBLISHED BY THE MUSSON BOOK COMPANY LIM/TED The Great Canadian Lover is by no means the Great Canadian Novel. Nor is it a book which has anything to do with love. It is a captivating col- lection of short stories hilariously brewed by the Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Alberta. about "The Grey Cup Murder' Trial", or "Dummies and Eth- ics". They are better read and appreciated. An excerpt from "Patter 'Pat- ter of Little Hobnails" follows: "The widely held idea that children are sweet and gentle creatures is nonsense, Children are vicious barbarians who have to be civilized by a slow pro- cess of bribery, cajolery, attri- tion and brute force. "Children will poke your eye out, bite your finger off or wet down the front of your best suit and think nothing 'of it. They begin life With a de- manding wail and maintain a shamelessly egocentric attitude until it is pounded out of them She's not pure evil, though. She has a rather 'soft spat for the older folk. She warms their arthritic joints with her hot, tender. hands. She fills their .lonely hearts with pleas- ure in her loveliness. And she reminds them,' in subtle 'fash- ion, of the days when they knew her long ago, when they were y o u n g and passionate themselves. Every time I feel the cool,. smooth hands of children after swimming, every time' I walk a lonely beach and see lights across the bay, every time I hear the Silken rustling of her garments in the evening trees, I know I am once again in thrall to that wonderful witch — the Canadian summer, And I'm glad. A. Danish police officer, recently suggested "on the spot" court hearings be held at the site of a traffic accident • minutes after it takes place. He said such an innovation could save a great deal of work and expense and result in fairer court decisions. Assistant chief constable Otto liarek of the Soroe Poliee District near Copenhagen proposed that courts be put on wheels in special vehicles which would race to the scene of accidents with ambulance and pollee cars. A roadside meeting of the court, be says, could settle in a short time cases which can otherwise pile up in overburdened courts. He suggested the court on wheels would carry a judge, prosecutor, defense lawyer and a court recorder. Mr. Harck said the proposed mobile court "obviously could not give an im- mediate decision in every case, but they would be able to settle most ,cases in- volving only material damage. If the judge, defence and prosecution could see the circumstances for themselves, much of the uncertainty arising through the testimony of witnesses over, something which happened a year or so earlier would be eliminated." This radical innovation could not, of course, give decisions in eases involv- A research and creativity grant for one year in the amount of $1,200.00 has been made to Professor Kurt Nabert, acting chairman of the. Department of German at Waterloo University College by the Lutheran Church in America. The grant has been made so that Professor Nabert and two associates can study the variety ,of German dia- lects throughout Ontario this summer. The study---according to a press release received by the News-Record— will cover all dialects except Pennsyl- vania Dutch. During the summer the team will work in outlying areas and will concentrate on the large German descended population in the Kitchener- Waterloo area next winter. Professor • Nabert says the study will involve three main steps: recording the dialects; plotting dialect areas on a map; and collating other additional THE CLINTON NEW ERA Est. 1865 *0 • * a • 1, A • Authorized as seeond SUISCRIPTiON ing drunken driving, or personal injur- ies. 33100d, or drunkometer tests require time for processing, and injured persons could• not be asked to testify at the scene. If appeals were ever made against decisions of the mobile court, records and a transcription of testimony would be available, and witnesses could still be called upon to testify. While such a court would be of little practical value in Huron County or indeed in any other rural area where accidents are, fortunately, few and far between — we consider .the idea to have great possibilities for implemen- tation in the larger Canadian cities. We are confident the Metropolitan Toronto Police, for example, would en- dorse implementation of such a sugges- tion, A mobile court would alsb likely get support from a number of traffic court judges whose dockets each day are crowded with suits for damage and charges under the Highway Traffic Act, To be sure, the mobile court could not handle all accidents. But a radio-dispatched car in Tor- onto with three "crews" to man it around the clock could certainly sub- stantially trim civil court dockets and save thousands of dollars rnoDithly in legal fees, court costs, witness fees, in- vestigation tees and man hours. sociological information gleaned from the survey. He said it is hoped the study will "find a relationship between the geo- graphical location of certain dialects and the influence of the German popu- lation on•the environment, culture and social patterns in the area. Eventually the study will probably be three-fold," he said, "linguistic, sociological and historical." It is, of course, the Lutheran's business what they choose to do with their money. If all that will result from the study is information on sociological. patterns, we would suggest better use could be made of this amount—such as sending under-privileged children to summer camps, helping more to feed and clothe children living in slums, or even to help ease the pangs of hunger in other less fortunate countries of the world. ur Early Files 4 Years AgQ 15 Years AgQ .day, August 7.91h, The topic 'will be held a basket picnic to tesses, drew, .Mas.
