to ask me if my punctuation is
good;
Sue: What did you tell him?
Sal: I said I’ve never been

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.

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.

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.

“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'

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

among the naked, shivering
trees. Uis very presence makes
the -blue-green spruce huddle
closely, like frightened cattle in
a storm. The water of the bay
reflects fearfully the slate-gray
of his sightless eyes.
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

drifts, filling the driveway.
Late in the day,’ the snow
stopped, the wind dropped, and
So did the temperature, to a

lamplight, snug farm kitchen,
hot food, and anxious wife.
While he talks quietly, Gran

The kids sprawl on the floor, ;

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.

For the benefit of Clinton residents who may not have,
seen a recent item in “Telephone News", the leaflet which
accompanies telephone bills, I’d like to sum it up again
here. 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.

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

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!.

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.
