headlines hut did net deal With
fringe benefits such as payment
of medical insurance,
"This agreement covers
several pages," he said,
thumbing through the proposed
contract, "but all the papers ever
mention is the salaries."
Mayor Don Symons pointed
out that the, press had never
been given a copy of the
proposed contract.
Free Press reporter Mrs.
Muriel Trott added that the
newspapers were not printing a
Bible and it was impossible to
cover every detail,
Council expressed concern
when it was learned that police
were already working a 40-hour
week even though they had not
accepted the rest of the contract
that the town had offered.
Council felt that none of the
provisions should go into effect
until all had been agreed to, that
the police should still be
working under their last
contract.
The council passed three
by-laws. One was a
supplementary budget for road
maintenance totalling $12,900.
Another gave a tax exemption to
the Canadian Legion clubhouse
and the third dealt with medical
care insurance for town
employees. Council learned
that the Public Library building
is badly in need of renovation
and Councillor Norman
Livermore, chairman of the
general government committee
was asked to get estimates on
the work needed.
A building permit to Murray
Draper to build a workshop at
North and Dunlop Sts. was
deferred until a report from the

down in the new zoning by-law
which has not yet been
introduced.

Denomme asked that the clerk

BY KAY l.RJARE
Patriek Scott, the acid4onged
television critic for the Toronto
Daily Star made an interesting
observation last week while
writing of the remarkable
comeback of the Doris Day
Show from its subliminal rating
of last yeax to its present rating
in the U.S. of number two.
He pointed out that the most
successful situation comedies
these days are centred around
the Mother of the family being
the dominant figure, Scott
claims this is a manifestation of
our increasingly matriareha,1
family set up.
He has a point if you look at
some of the successful family
series. The Day show is onp
example as are Lucile Ball and
Debbie Reynolds. ,
• Just as pertinent in the
argument is the failure of what is
my personal favourite of the
year, My World and Welcome To
It. Scott claims this series is ra
victim of the matriarchal society
because in it, the father is the
dominant character rather than a
fumbling bumling creature who
always has to he rescued by the
smart, cool and collected
momma,
He doesn't blame the whole
defeat of My World to this
cause, of course. Scott claims
" the series was just too
sophisticated for the audience
that holds Beverly hillbillies
dear to its heart.
A year age, it Might have been
easy to object to the thesis. One
example to disprove his
argument that jumps readily to
mind is My Three Sons where
Fred MacMurray has ruled his
clan for many years, But even
this stronghold of masculinity
has been endangered lately with
the introduction of a wife, and
adopted daughter and a
daughter-in-law.
Face it men, women are
taking over the world.
SPOTLIGHTS: The new
Canadian content rules are
wrecking havoc on the number
of old standby American shows
that will be seen next year. One
of the first to go is the Beverly
Hillbillies. Those quotas can't be
all bad. . , That touring show of
Hair may not get off the ground
after all. It was toplay in
Vancouver on one stop and this
conflicted with a new cast of the play being set up in Seattle, So
the Vancouver stop i$ definitely
off the tour and the whole thing is in danger.
