Friday, 8 p.M.—YPLI Molting 'FLOOD'WATERS SOUTH OF CLINTON • Froni:Our Early Files Pabl Martin, secretary of state for external affairs, has announced that the first three of .a number of Canadian administrators will fill overseas posts shortly in Asian and Caribbean eco- nomic assistance programs. Quote: "The External Aid Office field representatives are being second- ed to the Department of External Af- fairs and will work through Canada's missions in recipient countries to permit a co-ordinated approach to the whole range of factors affecting the Canadian development assistance program." And, to explain the international goodwill gesture still further: "Their work will include liaison and supervis- ory functions in connection with the investigation, construction, administra- tion and assessment of capital projects, as well as other related aid duties." Carrying Canada's banner will be D. S. Blaine, 56, of Almonte, a retired 12.C.A.F. air commodore; E. H. Webb, 54, of Ottawa, a retired army brigadier; and C. L. Mofford, 49, of Vancouver, a retired navy commander. They are ail, it will be noted, former career members of Canada's armed forces, and where could a better training ground be found for economic advisers? Of $11,000,000,000 budgeted for the armed forces since 1960, about $9,500,000,000 has been spent by uni-, formed brains to maintain the woeful status quo, without improving Canada's defence position. And that's just meat and potatoes. Extras, like the Avro Arrow, cost "This do-nothing behaviour demon- strates the power of the corporations over provincial and federal govern- ments." A quote from the leader of a mili- tant international industrial union? Nope. It's from Walter Miller, president of the Ontario Farmers' Union. Mr. Miller is currently gallumphing through the grass-roots attempting to triple membership in his organization. To what "do-nothing" behaviour does Mr. Miller refer? "In closing the Chatham, sugar manufacturing plant," Mr. Miller says, "Tate and Lyle, owner of the Canada and Dominion Sugar Company Ltd., have (sic) apparently, demonstrated complete disregard for the well-being of people whose livelihood -has, for years, depended on Canada and Domin- ion's sugar refinery." Since the beet farmers are inde- pendent businessmen, like Tate and A 13-year-old girl set an example Monday night that Clinton adults would do well to follow. Her name is Catherine Freeman, and she is a Grade 8 student at Clin- ton Public School. She attended town council as a Girl Guide of the 3rd Clinton Pack to study for her citizenship badge. It was a blustery, bad night. Seats reserved for interested resi- dents were empty. But they are always empty, If Catherine could make ,it helping. our 'ne.ighbors girl sets example asks farmer unity at least another $360,000,000 of the taxpayers' money. Some $300,000,000 was squand- ered on the Avro Arrow program. An army personnel carrier, the Bobcat, suffered 10 years of testing at a cost of $10,000,000 before it, too, was scrapped. A Canadian anti-submarine hydro- foil project which so far has cost $50,- 000,000 is due to be scuttled. Last year, more than $80,000,000 worth of obsolete National Defence equipment was, sold for less than •$3,000,000. - So-a-oh . . . Lots of good Canadian luck, Asia. And the same to you, Carib- bean. Lyle, with control over their own pro- perty, like Tate and Lyle, they will simply switch to another crop and suf- fer little. Mr. Miller must be speaking on behalf of the plant's industrial work- ers. He goes on, however: "Ontario farmers should now be convinced of the power wielded over provincial and federal governments by international corporations." Come now, Mr. Miller. For years, Ontario farmers have been convinced of the power wielded over provincial and federal govern- ments by Ontario farmers. Many a bloodied politician has also been con- vinced. But Mr. Miller says closing of the Chatham sugar plant should bring home to farmers of all kinds the fact that none of them can stand alone. So, farmers of Ontario unite! You have nothing to lose but your capitalis- tic individualism. through the weather, so could anyone else with the will to try. Mayor Don Symons and members of council welcomed Catherine. At last, someone• was interested enough in the government of Clinton to attend a council meeting, At her age, Catherine has no vote. When she is old enough to vote, how- ever, she will know what she is doing.• Perhaps a few tax-paying adults could attend council meetings to try for their citizenship badges.

He felt that "we could not, in all con- science, take advantage of a plan in which the cost of medi- cal care in Ontario would be subsidized by tax revenue rail. ed in other provinces who have indicated that their resources are not sufficient to permit them to pay that portion of the plan that Would be their respon. sibility." That statement is a bit confusing to me but wouldn't mind giving the stem ing man a nickel., • There is a bright ray frOm the west coast, Premier Hen. nett announced that B.C. will be able to meet all the require. ments of the national plan and "if the plan is in operation, in we'll go." Also from the east coast comes evidence of progressive thinking, PremierSmith of Nova Scotia recently indicated that his government has calculated on a $15 billion a year expeadi. lure:on medicare.

No. One of those that have been gutted, pack- aged, frozen and then cooked over a hot fire and re-frozen and re-cooked. My wife had several theo- ries, as usual. First, I had a hangover, plain and simple. There's no such thing, but I reminded her that we'd spent the previous evening quietly watching television and fight- ing as usual. Proof positive Came when she offered me a hair of the dog and I recoiled in horror. -• Next, -she decided I was going through the change of life, with those hot and cold 'flushes. I pointed out that my .breasts hadn't grown, and that I wasn't growing any more hair on head, face or legs, which have always been like an Airedale's. She was discern- bobulated. L' Finally, she proclaimed it was food poisoning, because Kim and I are always thawing fish and stuff and then re- freezing it, for some reason. Obviously I'd had bad fish. 'turned out we'd had steak, all fresh. Couldn't convince her that I might have the 'flu, which has been knocking people on their keisters for weeks at a tithe around here, all winter.

But I haven't felt like that since Oc- tober, 1944, when five burly Germans set about me with fists, boots and rifle-butts, for some trifling crime which I can't even recall. And I took the same escape this time that I did that time. I read. That time, after they cooled off, the Germans brought me a couple of books. But I lay there, in a box-car, on a siding in the Utrecht sta- tion-yard in Holland: and read Upton Sinclair. Since I was a dangerous criminal, my wrists were wired together, as were my ankles. There were no handcuffs. It took some physi- cal manoeuvring, and I could see out of only one eye, but I read. And the pain floated May. About the third night, the Feldwebel in charge actually brought me a tin of poisonous coffee and we talked, in a gar- ble of English, German, French. We had only the most rudimentary idea of what the other chap was talking about, but it bucked me up. I think he felt better, too. It was about the same last Weekend. I read. I could read for only about ten minutes at a shot, without half-fainting. But amidst the fever and the cups Of coffee proffered by my per- sonal, local Feldwebel, I re- read "The Last Enemy" by Ri- chard Hillary, and the new "And Now Here's Mae. by Max Ferguson, CBC and free- lance radio comedian.
