The Woes of Men Did you read in the daily paper about a professor who blames all men's woes on us women? Apparently we have been dominating the poor old male so long he is a physical and mental wreck. The professor and his cohorts are suggesting repealing equal job laws for women and also women's voting rights. Should make an interesting confrontation when they square off with the militant feminists! What I liked best about the article was a quote from a woman critic who wrote to the prof and said, "There is one mistake in the Bible; woman was not made from a man's rib, it was his backbone and he hasn't had any since." * * Poor guys. Some have no back bone and some lose their teeth bones. The latter is more serious than I thought. A dentist states that many people with dentures have difficulty whistling. Imagine the frustration of a healthy, young male who couldn't express his admiration for a pretty girl passing by. Should be enough to keep a fellow brushing his teeth! * And speaking of bones . . . everybody knows that men have awful looking leg bones. The male fashion news, hot from Paris, is skirts, and dresses for men complete with stocking and garter belts. If this catches on I cast my vote for the maxi length! Gordon Koch records scenery in oil painting Gordon Koch is a happy man with a fine sense of humor who paints pleasant Ontario country scenes in the part of his basement he uses for an art studio. There is nothing very unusual about a retired school teacher whiling away his hours at an oil painting hobby except that in Mr. Koch's case, he is crippled with multiple sclerosis, and to get down to the basement and up again is a fete of sheer determination and grit itself. Always interested in art, Gordon, had done some pastel work in his early years but it was about 20 years ago that he first became interested in oils and he's been turning out pleasing landscapes, and floral pictures ever since. Many of the scenes he has painted are of picturesque places he and his wife, Ruby, used to visit during summer holidays such as Bayfield, South- ampton, Little Current, Tobermory and places in the Kawartha Lakes district north of Peterborough. The local artist says he has a fascination for light houses, fishermen's shanties, old bridges and rocks, For several years he attended summer classes at the Doon School of Art and at the Southampton Art School where he received instruction in composition, mixing and applying oils and in general techniques. As his reputation as an artist grew Mr. Koch was in demand as a night school teacher of painting and for about five winters he conducted several classes. He remembers one busy year when he had classes in Hensel', Exeter, Mitchell and St. Marys every week. Since he must now use crutches to get around he doesn't paint at the 'scene' but paints from slides with the aid of a, projector, screen and a VieWen- aeter. The slides, he photographs himself during his drives through the country in the summertime, Mr. Koch says his wife is 'his Worst, or perhaps his best, art critic,' "If I think her criticism is valid I scrape off the canvas, but of course, I don't always agree with her," he says with a grin. Mrs. Koch laughing admits she's heard that, "Art critics are unsuccessful artists, and of course, I can't paint a all!" Thousands of students remember Mr. Koch because he taught in Exeter for 34 years, first at the old Exeter High School and later at South Huron District High. Those who were fortunate enough to have known him during scholastic days recall his gentleness, kindness and never-ending patience. Although his endurance was often tested to the limit by rowdy pupils it was a rare thing to see him riled and a still rarer one to see him angry. The gentleness, patience and good humor remain. Showing no rancor or bitterness about having multiple sclerosis Mr. Koch talks about the ailment with candor and with no self consciousness. He feels it was about 25 years ago when he first noticed his balance wasn't 'quite right' but because the progression of the disease was so gradual it wasn't until 1960 that doctors diagnosed the condition as multiple sclerosis. He accepts it with indomitable fortitude. His wife says he never complains nor shows any discouragement. "I'm not nearly as bad off as many people," he states positively, "and I have much to be thankful for. I still have a good appetite, can paint a little and get out in the car," Getting out in the car means a great deal since walking is almost impossible. The Kochs' car has hand controls and getting in and out is the most difficult thing Mr. Koch has to do as far as driving is concerned. Asked what other things he does for recreation since he retired from teaching seven years Ago Gordon Koch answers that he likes to do word puzzles, read and play the piano a bit. Then, with a wink and a twinkle he adds, "And, oh, yes, I help with the dusting!" Some of our readers have been confused about detergents with a biodegradable base and felt that biodegradable meant these detergents were not causing pollution. The very opposite is true. Biodegradable means that they are easily broken down in municipal sewage plants, thus lowering treatment costs and preventing foaming when discharged into a body of water. However, removing the foam does not mean that all pullutants have been removed and the problem of phosphate content remains. The phosphates in detergents keep dirt in suspension and prevent it being redeposited during laundering. When excessive amounts of phosphates enter a body of water, increased growth of algae uses up supplies of oxygen as the tiny organisms decay. Then the water gradvally "dies." Manufacturers are testing alternatives to be used and the Canadian Government has proposed a phase-out of phosphates by 1972. * * * The Canadian Appliance Manufacturers Association have issued the following information to aid consumers who wish to switch and fight pollution: "Firstly, you have two alternatives: since most powdered detergents are in a similar phosphate range you may select a liquid laundry detergent or use a soap products. "If you use a soap in automatic washers use really hot UCW will back Toe Alpha group Unit III of Exeter United Church Women met Monday night when Mrs. Maurice Love directed the business. The Unit unanimously voted to back a group of local young people in their plan to hold a Toc Alpha weekend in Exeter. A panel organized by the program convener, Mrs. Robert Down sparked a lively and informative discussion on Christian Education in the church. Moderated by Rev. Glen Wright the panel was made up of people involved at different levels in the Sunday School. Ross Huff represented the young people and expressed their dissatisfaction with the present set up in Sunday School. Peter Snell who represented the Christian Education Branch of the Official Board suggested some additions this group would like to see implemented, such as a control resource centre. Mrs. Harry Dougall and Mrs. Jim Prout represented the Kindergarten and Primary departments and gave the feelings of the teachers with regard to the new curriculum. ARTIST RECORDS LOCAL SCENERY Working on a painting of an old wooden bridge in Hay Swamp, which has recently been replaced by a steel one, Gordon Koch records a part of local history using a smaller painting he made several years ago as a guide.
