Sal: I said I’ve never been late for work 'in my life. Winter is a delight to the young, a b'it of a horror for the old, and a blasted nuisance for the rest of us. Yet even for me, one of the most violent winter-haters in the last category, there are mo­ ments when it has mysterious charm that cannot be duplicat­ ed at any other season. Today is one of them. Nope, it’s not one of those sparkling, crunchy, sky-blue winter days wjhich no one but a complete misanthrope could fail to enjoy. It’s just the opposite. It’s one of those brooding winter days when the shadow of the great monster of the north hangs low over the shrinking earth,- and his icy paw feels about the walls of the house, seeking a weak spot where he may enter and strangle. His cold, blue breath raises GODERICH TOWNSHIP Wedding Pictures JERVIS TV VIEWS (By William Whiting) The “second season'” has be­ gun. Last week ABC-TV launched four new shows. They were “The Batman,”, “Blue Light”, “The Double Life of Henry Phyfe” and “The Baron”. We watched three out of four, and the only disappoint­ ment was that- these shows were not included in the sch­ edules in September, instead of January ’66, “The Batman”, which will be seen on Kitchener’s TV outlet every Sunday at 4:30, will cause much enthusiasm and discus­ sion. Kids have been following the adventures of this comic­ book hero for over 25'years, Although it is not a cartoon show, it is designed to satisfy the 8 to 14-year old audience by providing a living picture of the comics they have read. The adults who remember read­ ing “The Batman” will apprec­ iate the humor and nostalgia of the incredible feats of dar­ ing. Adam West plays the Bat­ man, with Burt Ward as Robin. :|i $ ft For Robert Goulet, it has peen from Canadian Broadbast- ■ing to Broadway, to supper' clubs', motion pictures and now television’s star in “Blue Light”. In this series he plays David March, a foreign correspondent Who has renounced his Ameri­ can citizenship and gone to work as a secret agent for Germany. In reality, however, he is an American 'undercover ’ agent which is known only to the Allied High Command. CBC picked this series up for play­ ing Wednesdays at 8:00. ft * ft “The Double Life1 of Henry Phyfe” plays on ABC Thurs­ days and was highly amusing, with Red Buttons in the lead­ ing role. This type of humor is enjoyed very much by me, but there are many who, would­ n’t like it. As the saying goes' in it, CBC European Correspondent Has Past That Includes Turkey Farming News-Record r—- Page 3 Thurs., Jan. 20, 1966 Clintonians To Have a Draw. Stanley Burke, who in his 41 years has been a reporter, skip­ per of anti-submarine craft, turkey farmer, oil-driller and broadcaster, is now CBC’s rov­ ing correspondent in Europe. Burke, who was born in Van­ couver, attended the University of British Columbia and took his first job as a reporter for the Vancouver Province. Dur­ ing the Second World War .he enlisted in the navy, and saw service as skipper of anti-sub­ marine 'boats in the Atlantic, Following Iris discharge from the navy at the end of the war he decided to seek “the ideal life’’ as a writer-farmer and took the 'agriculture course at the University of British Col­ umbia. But on graduation, he reverted to reporting, working on newspapers in New West­ minster, Vancouver and Edmon­ ton. In 1951, he was on the staff of the Edmonton Bulletin when it ceased publication. Out of work, he decided to find his fortune in the oiil business; — starting in the Leduc fields as a pipe-rocker. “I soon found that the pipe-raoker gets rack­ ed1 more than the pipe,- and quickly tired of the oil busi­ ness," he says. At this point, the ideal life of the writer-farmer once more looked'attractive so he bought a farm, in the Fraser Valley and set to work raising tur­ keys1. He also wrote a column for a Vancouver paper, ibife looked pretty good. “But one by one the turkeys died," he says ruefully. "They died of every disease known in turkeydom — and believe me, they’re beyond calculation. Pa­ thologists from the University of British Columbia would tra­ vel miles out of their way to load up wuith our corpses and I believe they named some of the more hideous diseases after me." As i-final blow, the bot- . tom dropped out of the turkey business. So did Burke. He then joined the Vancouver Sun, and in 1953 went to Ot­ tawa as a Parliamentary corre­ spondent. His assignments took him to Europe, the Arctic, and the Unlited Nations, In January, 1958, he joined the CBC as its United Nations Correspondent and four years later was appointed CBC’s Par­ is Correspondent. Since the be­ ginning of the year, he has ..1 ......... ... —. Club held of 1966 at J. Batkin, Wednesday 12 with 22snow-ghosts that sift silently among the naked, shivering trees.

Don’t be frightened .children. The old spook won’t get us. As- long, that is, as the snow does­ n’t block the roads, and we don’t run out of fuel, and there isn’t a power breakdown. * It’is a day for sitting by the fire with a hot noggin, dream­ ing, shivering deliciously once in a while, as the monster out­ side gives a snort of frustration that rattles the windows. And that’s exactly What I’m doing. We’ve been spending the weekend with the grandparents, in the country.. It has followed its inevitable pattern. The night we arrived, it blew and it snew. In the morning it was still” snowing, with a vend gusting to 40 miles an hour, piling up the drifts, filling the driveway. Late in the day,’ the snow stopped, the wind dropped, and So did the temperature, to a nice round figure—zero. Typi­ cal visiting winter .weekend. But, we care nowt. Flames dance1 in the fireplace, fairies on the television. Tomorrow is time enough to dig out the car, pray that it will start, and hope the 'snowplows will gelt through the side-road. z While the monster- prowls outside, all is serene within. Granddad reminisces about win­ ters 30 years ago when he drove a rural mail route, with team and sleigh. Bundled to’ the ears. Buffalo roibes!. Snow piled to the top of snake fences.

And- home, darkness deepening, to cosy • lamplight, snug farm kitchen, hot food, and anxious wife. While he talks quietly, Gran­ ny produces endless pots of tea, ca'ke, sandwiches, chocolates. The kids sprawl on the floor, ; strumming guitars' or direaming. • The Old Battleaxe dozes, silent : far once. And even yours truly, lulled ; by 'the fife and stunned by a huge dinner, admits that there * are times when winter can be ! wonderful. ■ STANLEY BURKE Stanley Burke, CBC’s Paris correspondent since 1962, is now a roving corres'pond’ent throughout Europe for CBC radio and television.

W. Haysom your telephone manager ARMS, INSTANTS, and TONGUES I I If you're good at riddles, it shouldn’t be very hard to find the answer to these three questions: What can reach across a continent, yet has no hands? What takes you places in an instant, yet never moves itself? What speaks in a thousand tongues, yet has none of its own? The answer is of course your telephone . . . that easy- to-use convenience that takes you places every day, helps -the family in so many ways. It helps you get news and information, make dates, invite guests, arrange meetings and social activities. It’s a very comfortable way to go shopping in blustery January days without getting your feet cold... and the only way to check with the baby­ sitter without leaving the party. There’s certainly no ques-- tiori that the telephone has many uses. Whenever you need it—whatever you need it for—it’s always there to call on. * * TELEPHONE CHAINS-—LIFELINES FOR THE ELDERLY * CHANGE OF PROGRAM SAT.. MON..

It’s one of those things that automatically make you wonder why it wasn’t thought of long ago. It concerns elderly people—particularly those who live alone—and the fear that sudden illness or accident may one day prevent them from even reaching the phone to call for help. The answer to this problem, as suggested by the Leaside (Ontario) branch of the Red Cross, is a “telephone chain" of five or six elderly people who phone each other every day in a pre-arranged order. That is; each chain member makes one phone call and receives one call every day. If a chain member cannot reach the member he is to call, he notifies the member who acts as Chain Captain. If the Chain Cap­ tain cannot reach the member within a few hours, he in turn notifies the chain’s sponsoring group (which can be a church, social or women’s club, or any group of interested citizens) and one of the sponsors immediately makes a visit to find out the reason for the unanswered phone. Apart from the obvious security of mind such a system brings, it has other advantages as well. It is the elderly people themselves who check up on one another, giving them a definite role and responsibility to enjoy, and of course very close friendships can easily develop from the adily conversations. Information on suggested procedures for organizing a Telephone Chain is available in brochure form from the Senior Citizens Committee^ Ontario Division, Canadian Red Cross Society, 460 Jarvis St., Toronto 5, Ont. * sf: ANON And finally; in a salute to the New Year we’re now In, a few words from an anonymous philosopher: “It’s wise to take an interest in your future —- that’s where you’re going to spend the rest of your life."

Ski Party at 7:15 & 10:15 — Atragon at 9:45 only h FICTION THRILLER "ATRAGON For those of us who have been blessed with all our fac­ ulties it -is hard to camprerend that a little child may never talk. Not because it’ hasn’t a voice, but because it has never heard the sound of human speech. In Moncton. New Brun­ swick last year, a little girl made a sound that waisn’t just silent laughter or a cry, and a small boy blew a plastic whistle and fqr the first time in his life heard a sound he had created. These two are among a group of deaf youngsters who are be­ ing taught • by a program to help them grow up in a hearing world. In that city which was long- ago* dubbed a ‘railroad town’ a group, of trainmen from HUb- betts Lodlge 96, Brotherhood of Railway Trainm.en, set them­ selves the responsibility of get­ ting these kiddies to and from the .kindergarten they attend which has special electronic equipment. The volunteers av­ erage 100 miles a day, taking turns on their off duty hours, _ running their car pool when” not working on Canadian Na­ tional trains between Moncton and Campbellton. Not only do they give so generously -of their spare time, they have also presented Dr. G. A. Irving, president of the Moncton and District Hearing Handicapped Association, with | a cheque to cover the cost of sending these children to Hali­ fax where the extent of their hearing handicap can be deter- | mined. Miss Geraldine Hopkiris, the school’s teacher, told conduct­ ors, brakemen 'and their wives during the presentation of this money, “we do not w'ant the children to depend on them hands as a means of communi­ cation. We 'do want them to be ajble to grow up in a world that hears .... a world where thousands take their ability to' hear as a matter of course.” 45 In Car Pool The car pool was organized by John Gayne, who takes an active part in local service clubs and when not working’ on CN’s fast freight 441, is also helping to run the Lions-spon- sored Senior Citizens dub. It was through this work that he learned of the need for trans­ portation for deaf children. John Gayne likes to inform interested persons that the school was organized by a Moncton veterinarian who has a deaf child. A few other par­ ents helped and soon a teacher, equipment an a location for the school were found. “This was a wonderful undertaking, but they still need volunteers' to' get the.children to school and home again,”, he said. His fellow trainmen Were contacted and soon there were 45 cars in the volunteer pool. “Our type of job makes it pos­ sible to provide this kind of service during our off-duty tours. I found they were only too happy to provide the use of theiir cars arid their spare time toward helping these deaf children, toward a new life.” Tills One Saved a Life Early last year a two-year- old boy fell from his mother’s arms as they were boarding the Canadian National coastal ship Bar Haven at Pushthrough in Newfoundland. Gerald Dunn of St. John’s, ah oiler on the ves­ sel, dived into the Water arid Saved the child from drowning. Canadian KatiohaVs President, Donald Goifdotri; seht Mr. Dunn aifi engraved watch and a letter of commendation for his deed Of bravery. While reading of this episode I was rather Start­ led to realize I had hever really thought of CN employees asj anything other than well, train­ ed, highly* skilled! persons whom we expect to facilitate the handling of freight and the comfort of travelers while a- board their trains. As1 each year passes, and there are now seven which have recorded my travels and interesting experiences, I be­ came more and more aware of the contribution this 'group of Canadians is making, not only in their line of duty, but in the field of human relations!. */fS ALWAYS A VERY PLEASANT SIGHT TO WATCH YOUR EQUIPMENT WORKING z V LAUNDRY/AjhL’V CLEANERS ~ Caicc’c^o Phone 482-7064 Clinton, Ont. Chiropractic Viewpoint BE WELL NATURALLY! Think of the centuries during which man has been beset with plagues and pestilence, of his gradual struggle over the centuries to improve, his physical condition- and well-being. What has kept the human race alive? Cer­ tainly not any plan of nature that man’s normal state is ill health. No. The conclusion must >be drawn that good health ds the natural state of man — that if he gives it half a chance, a man can have nature on his side in the fight for good health. We look for outside reasons to explain' all our aches and pains and even disease, when it occurs. We live in ways (that nature never intended, and that’s why we get sick. Our bodies finally succumb to the stress and strains of' modem living, and' illness results. What does’ all this add up to in terms of your daily routine? First remember that your body has its own Master Control System: the Nervous System composed of the brain and the spinal cord, from which nerves go to every organ. When this system is functioning properly you feel just fine. Energy, health and vitality are yours. Nerve Irritation Creates Illness But your spinal column is one of the most delicate .parts of the whole human body. A tiny displacement of ' even ia single vertebrae of your spinal column may cause a nervous disturbance. If the nerve irritation is sustained, the organ which is under the control of the nerve cannot function properly. It has, so to speak, a “nervous break­ down.” Next step: illness. Your chiropraotor finds the iarea which is involved. Then, by means of adjustments he restores the natural flow of nerve impulses to the organ affected. As a result, health comes back to the body, as a natural development. Your .chiropractor, in other words, is a specialist .train­ ed to locate and correct conditions that hamper nature. He does no healing. He merely allows nature to do its work properly. It is nature which heals. V ....... in........... i. ........■■■—.................
