Writing a weekly column is a
pain in the neck.
Oh, it's okay when something
exciting happens to you, when
you have a family reunion or like
Editor Bill this week getting the
bejeebers stung out of you by a
swarm of yellow-jackets.
But most weeks, nothing that
painful takes place, thank
goodness, And then its like
scraping the bottom of the barrel
to think of something to write
about,
Even those writers who have
their columns sydicated, such as
Bill Smiley who is carried in the
T-A, seem to have problems.
Smiley, of course, holds down a
full time job as a teacher and
reading his column, you can
usually tell what kind of a week
he's having, A slack week and his
column is interesting. A busy
week and its the same old stuff
about the "old battle-axe or his
daughters singing lessons or the
rotten students he has to put up
with.
Working on a weekly, while not
the most exciting job in the
world, would have to be one of the
busiest and about Tuesday
morning when you suddenly
realize the column isn't done yet,
a quick look at your assignment
sheet for the past five or six days
reveals a• schedule about as
exciting as lukewarm porridge,
I suppose an imaginative,
creative writer would have no
trouble whipping up some ab-
solutely thrilling epistle but being
a rather dull fellow, I have
problems.
For instance, during the past
week I covered a bicycle
motocross event with about eight
entrants, stood outside
Chiselhurst United Church while
wall-to-Wall people inside en-
joyed the 115th anniversary in-
side, interviewed a woman
minister in Kirkton, sold a bunch
of ads, swept the floor, took out
the garbage and delivered some
printing to Hensall.
An average week but not
exactly exciting. Mind you, in my
own time, I got suckered in by a
used car salesman, played tennis
with Exeter recreation director
Jim McKinlay (we tried at least),
cut the lawns or at least part of
them, picked green beans and

Henderson meets
Grand Bend PCs
Lorne Henderson the Con-
servative incumbent in the
Ontario Legislature for the riding
of Lambton told party supporters
in Grand Bend Tuesday that the
provincial deficit "wasn't as bad
as the opposition would like
people to believe,"
Henderson continued, "about
12 years ago it took 14 months of
provincial income to make up the
running deficit, today income
from only six months is sufficient
to take care of the deficit."
On the subject of public housing
the Lambton MPP said the
province has spent 400 million
dollars on housing this year. He
said that public housing now open
and also under construction
totals 275 units in Lambton, A
year ago the figure was 42.
Henderson indicated he was
concerned about the present
advertising campaign put forth
by Ontario civil servants. He
added, "Their ads are very
misleading. The Act they are
talking about was actually
passed in 1897 by a Liberal
government and was amended
slightly by the Robarts govern-
ment in 1963,"
On the subject of education,
Henderson told his Grand Bend
workers, "students graduating
from elementary schools now
have a better education and are
more mature than when you and I
were at the same level.'

The election certainly didn't

The only event of the week
worth talking about was the
experience of trying to find a
used car.
Frustrating is the word.
Finding myself in London
Friday evening, I started there
and while being snowed under by
grovelling salesmen who acted as
though their very existence
depended on closing a deal with
me in the next fifteen minutes, I
couldn't find a car I would look
twice at, at least not in the price
range I could afford.
They intimated that they could
get me a• deal, went away to see
the manager and invariably
came back with about $200 off the
price I had been quoted
originally, But the machines they
were trying to sell me looked
like they had been through the
Daytona 500 so I went looking for
greener pastures.
Small town car lots have a
slightly different approach. The
salesmen are friendly, the prices
high and fewer cars are on the
lots. Decent used cars seem to be
scarce right now if you are
looking for something under
$3,500.
While the prices may be high
compared to the city lots and
advertisement appearing in the
dailies, the quality of used cars in
small towns is far superior to the
city clunkers. I suppose in a
small town a car dealer needs
repeat business, not having the
huge population of the city and
they make sure the product will
make the customer happy.
After visiting about fifteen' lots
in the area I found something I
liked and bought it.
"Finally I can retire that tired
old clunker with 115,000 miles on
it," I thought to myself. •
On .Monday, the brakes
vapourized in the new car and
Tuesday, here I am driving my
old clunker. Hopefully, once the
brakes are fixed (leaking fluid
from the master cylinder the
man at the garage said) my new
used car will not be a lemon and
one day I'll retire it with 115,000
miles on it too.
One of Grand Bend's best
known citizens Peter Eisenbach
passed away Friday at the Blue
Water Rest Home in Zurich.
Mr. Eisenbach was well known
throughout Ontario and the
northern United States through
the Eisenbach Museum which he
established in 1961 on Highway 21
north in the village of Grand
Bend.
During the early years of the
museum he was a frequent
visitor at auction sales pur-
chasing many items. One of his
prized possessions was a 144
piece set of Florida pattern
dishes in floblue colour.

The dependability of the YAMAHA snowmobile is the result of a
constant on-going program of research and development on the
part of our engineering and technical personnel. Our testing
programs range from laboratory experiments to "on the snow"
tests held in Japan, CANADA and the U.S. The input of informa-
tion gathered at snowmobile race tracks under competition also
plays an important role in our development program. This year-
round effort keeps the dependability in our snowmobiles and
allows YAMAHA to offer one of the finest warranties in the in-
