Mr. Knight reported sitting in

that council is behind them.

heavy bags of grub. Speaking of
which, why do the baggers at
supermarkets always put all the
canned goods in one bag, and the
kleenex, toilet paper and rice in
the other, so that the customer
goes out the door with a list like
the Titanic going down?
Another sore point with me -
and it's sore where it really hurts,
in the hip pocket is the ripoff at
big, city hotels.
It was necessary that I spend a
few days in one recently, and the
prices nearly drove me into
bankruptcy, a home for paupers,
and insanity.

Regarding the opportunities for
Youth Program, 1975 any young
people desiring to qualify, are
asked to contact any member of
council or the clerk with their
ideas for summer projects. The
applications must be in by
February 21.
In correspondence, council
learned that Agripress will be
using the mobile home on a
temporary basis for six months
as they are interested in building
a new office block.
Plans were made for the Reeve
and Council to attend the
association of Rural
Municipalities convention
February 9 to 11 in Toronto, Mr.
Erb says if the rest are going he
will stay home and tend the store.
Council learned of a new ruling
by the County regarding trailer
homes. It is a mobile home
whether the gear is on or off. Mr.
Mattson will be unable to put a
trailer on the lot in question.
Council also learned that the
interest rate on short term
deposits has dropped.
Accounts of approximately
$3,900 were ordered paid.
"Oh, well," I thought. "It's
only once in a blue moon, and I'll
enjoy the luxury and the terrific
service." It is to laugh.
Luxury? It was a hotel room,
like 50,000 others. Except that
this one was so draughty you had
to turn the thermostat up to 80 to
keep from shivering.
Service? Oh, the service was
great. Especially room service.
Tired and frazzled, I decided I
didn't want to seek out a dining
room and eat alone. Thought I'd
stay in my room, have a sand-
wich, read the paper, watch the
news on TV.
That news was the only thing
for which they didn't extract
blood.
Country boy, without con-
sulting the menu, I ordered one
martini, one roast beef sandwich,
one small pot of coffee (three
cups).
When I went to sign the bill, you
could have knocked me over with
a lewd wink.
A third-rate martini, unchilled,
$1.85. Beef sandwich, with a dill
pickle, coleslaw and a muck of
cheese, $4.35. Small thermos of
coffee, $1.35. Surcharge for any
order under $10.00, one buck.
(That really gripes.). And the
waiter, with his hand out for a fat
tip. That comes to $8.25 without
the tip.
I almost turned out my pockets
and shouted: "Here! Take it all."
Once bitten, twice shy, you say.
Not me. I have to be hit over the
head several times before
anything sinks in.
Ordered breakfast. Room
service. Thought: "Well, at least
you can't be raped at breakfast."
Wrong. You can,
Scrambled eggs, cold and
watery, on a cold plate. Toast,
limp, wet and cold, on a cold
plate. The coffee was OK. Bill,
about $5.80, plus surtax and tip. A
great way to start the day.
Rather exorbitant for three cups
of coffee, the only thing fit to
imbibe, don't you think?
Sure, it's a luxury hotel, But
who wants to swim in January?
Who needs a massage at $7.00 a
rattle? Who needs a haircut at
$3.50 or a shoeshine at half a
buck? Who needs to pay over 40
cents for a cup of coffee?
Surely there is a place in
Canadian society for homey,
comfortable hotels, like those in
England, where you might pay
$30.00 a day for two, with a huge,
hot and hearty breakfast thrown
in.
Being skinned alive is an un-
comfortable way to go.

Giants past
wide margin
By LORI MOUSSEAU
On January 31, I witnessed a
basketball game at Hensall
Public School. The players were
the Giants who were two
teachers, Mr. R. McKay and Mr.
D. Pearson and the Midgets, the
boys basketball team.
It was an exciting half hour
with Mr. McKay and Mr. Pearson
leading a giant step ahead of the
Midgets. Pearson scored at least
six in a row but McKay scored
just as many and more.
The boys had five baskets.
Steve Sararas scored three while
Terry Baker and Bryan Baker
each scored one.
About half way through
Pearson shook his head after
endless misses, while the boys
played it cool. Both Giants
checked their watches longiii,gly.
Suddenly the game was over.
The Giants won 60 to 10. All shook
hands and the Giants grinned
from ear to ear.
