Most possess the two things they deem important; a job to provide them with the necessities of life, and the knowledge that day after day they would still have the job. Mr. Koens feels that a lack of the prosperity possessed by Indians of the far north, is a chief reason for the crucial Indian problem farther south, as in areas like Kenora. White children do not depend heavily on education, since they can fall back on parents with a farm or large income, if absolutely necessary. But an Indian, whose environment has limited any chance of farming, relies solely on education, an education that up until recently has been hard to acquire. Thus, Indians from areas like Northern Ontario, having only a grade six or seven education, come to the South in a hopeless quest for prosperity. Unfortunately, all too many Indians find that alcohol is the only thing that will calm their miseries. Mr. Koens, a bachelor who now lives in London, insists that his undertaking would not have been feasible, had he been married, sincemedical supplies and fresh foods were in constant shortage, He made the desolution of the far north obvious by pointing out that there were no newspapers, no television, sporadic mail-service, and radio was only enjoyed on rare nights when the signal was strong. As astounding as the desolation seems, Mr. Koens sincerely hopes that soon he will be able to venture back to the Far North, which to him is a com- pletely different world. Honor Mt. Carmel lady November 16, a party was held in honour of Mrs. Rita Ca?ey, well-known as former writer of the Mt. Carmel news. Mrs. Carey has taken up new residence in Parkhill, and leaves behind many friends in her former residence of Mt. Carmel. A large crowd of about 80 people attended the party, which was held in the gymnasium of the Mt. Carmel School, and which was well organized by Arnold McCann, Hubert Carey, Bill Hogan, Tom Ryan and Albert Wydooghe. Progressive euchre was played, and a fine lunch prepared by the wives of the organizers was enjoyed. The address was read by Wilfred Hogan, and Mrs. Carey replied with a speech of thanks after she received a lovely chair as a gift from the group. Baptism The Charles Dietrich family of Mt. Carmel all headed to Chatham on Sunday. There, they witnessed the Baptism of Karl Miregge at St. Agnes Church, Karl, who was born on October 6, is the son of Jo-Anne and Richard Miregge. Jo-Anne is the daughter of Mr. & Mrs, Dietrich. Also present at the Baptism, but rather unsure of the situation, was Paul Miregge, Karl's four-year-old brother, Hockey Sauble League hockey action November 13, the Brinsley team suffered a stunning defeat at the hands of the Mt, Carmel team, The finalscore was 8-3 in favour of Mt.

NAME OP NEWLYWEDS ADDRESS DATE MARRIED Sl6NATURE M0,15x;t511t)ntar,,, By PAUL SALMON For nine and a half long but memorable years, Peter Koens, a grade eight teacher at Mt. Carmel School, taught in some of the most remote, northerly sectors of our country. It has been ten years since he last taught in the far north, but recollections of both the desolation and the pleasure of such an experience still linger. At that time, Mr. Koens worked for the Dept. of Indian Affairs, and it was a job that allowed him to travel from one northern location to another. He has taught in northern Alberta, northern Saskatchewan, and even on the Arctic Islands. The Indian children like those taught by Mr, Koens were ex- posed to fairly modern systems of education, similar to those to which students here in the south are exposed. However, the schools served only the villages in which they were located, and any children living outside of the village were not bused in, but rather, they boarded right at the school, The language barrier between Indian students and white teachers was not a great problem, since the Indian children easily picked up the English they were taught. Interpreters were usually on hand to handle any language difficulties that arose between students and teacher. Mr. Koens said that activity in a far northern school could be closely compared to the activity in a school like Mt. Carmel. However, surrounding Mt. Carmel School are fields, and other signs of cilvilization, whereas a northern school would be surrounded by a bleak, endless Arctic desert. When Mr. Koens told me that most of the young Indians brought bowie knives into class with them, I was prompted to ask him about the tensions existing between the Indians and whites. He quickly assured me that the Indian children showed no direct resentment toward him, and that their carrying bowie knives was a harmless way of holding on to their dying culture. However, the Indian com- munities as a whole, resented the flow of whites into their com- munities. Unlike teachers and other groups resolved to help the Indians, many whites entered the far north to "make a fast buck", not caring the least for the Indian culture. The Indians, a majority group in those northern areas, were being controlled by a white bureaucractic minority. Even since Mr. Koens has left the north, the situation has changed, with the Indians realizing their political power as a group. The emphasis on education is now on the cultural aspect, and leaders of the Indian communities hope this will bring business ,and prosperity in their villages. Mr. Koens finds it strange that the violence that has erupted in far northern set- tlements, including the killing of teachers, has conveniently not filered down here to the south, The onus is on the White minority in the north to give the Indians justice and fairness in their suppressed situation. Tragically, the Indians can no longer live off of the land, as books and movies would have us believe, but are employed largely in government projects, like road maintenance, work at weather stations, and as casual helpers and interpreters at schools. The Indians of the far north, however, are doing well, although not by our standards of The doctor told you to slow tlOwit . , not to stop°, Hawks lose an the road, stomp Mount Brydges at home WINS AWARDS — Peter and Esther Warner stand in front of an example of the Trojan yacht that wort Peter an award this year. Peter sold more of the $45,000 boats than any other Canadian Trojan dealer, He also won a Chrysler award for being the first Canadian dealer to achieve top sales in that company's marine products for five consecutive years. The achievement also earned Peter a trip to Europe and yes, Esther is going too.

Exeter had plenty of power play op- portunities in the game, as the Lucan team had fifteen minor penalties against them, nine in the third period. Luean S410- cessfully killed them all, in- cluding three instances when they were playing two men short. Their first two goals of the period came while playing short handed. It was a different story on Friday night when the Hawks played Mousit Brydges, The Hawks had no trouble finding the mark against the visitors, beating goalie Steve Dausett fourteen times, to win 14-3, Gerald Wiedo led the Exeter attack, setting up six of the goals, Ken Pinder also had a high scoring evening, getting three assists and a goal. The Hawks found the key earlier in the game, when Fred Mommersteeg beat Dausett at 2:10, Don McKellar scored a pair to give the Hawks a 3*-0 lead before Jeff Millar replied 17:39 for the visitors. The Hawks increased their lead with five goals in the second period two coming from captain Steve Jennison just over a minute apart Matt Muller, Pinder and Ingram also put in markers for the Hawks. The only reply from Mount Brydges came from Rob Kinsman, It was an on again, off again week for the Junior "D" Hawks as they split their two games, losing 7-0 against the stronger Lucan team in Lucan and swamping the hapless Mount Brydges team 14-3 at the arena on Friday. Although the Hawks outshot Lucan by a margin of thirteen, they were unable to put anything past goaltender Kevin Lightfoot who turned back thirty-eight shots for the shutout. The Lucan game was close until a four goal third period squashed the Hawks hopes of any comeback. The Hawks trailed 1-0 after the G.H. Ward and partners, Woodstock. + + + In addition, council moved to issue building permits for $31,000; including a dwelling to be build by E. Van Sligtenhorst; and to buy a new clock for the library, first period, when Craig Corman dumped one by Exeter goalie Randy Loyie at 17:41 for the only goal Lucan needed to beat the Hawks, Randy Kraul added the in- surance at 1:13 of the second period with the first of his three goals and Ed Robb scored at 18:10 finishing the period with his only goal of the night. Lucan hit for four goals in the third period and they came in two quick spurts. Corman got his second of the night, on a pass from Robb and twenty seconds later Kraul got his second. Then at the half-way mark in the period Ron Funston made it 9-0 and Kratil finished off his hat trick less than a .half a minute later. It was the Exeter Hawks. scoring show in the third period, with Brian Taylor getting Bill. Van Bergen with two, .Jim Ferguson with one and Phil Knight with one. The split week leaves Exeter with a five and two record, safely ensconed in third place with ten points. Zurich has been awarded a $9,000 LIP grant to help pay for renovations to the community centre condemned by the town engineer last June, the Clerk treasurer says. Mrs. Betty Oke says the LIP grant will be applied to the $56,000 debt incurred by the village in order to save the 30 year old arena auditorium, The remainder of the cost will be financed through a special grant from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation ($13,750) and a debenture issue repaid over a 20 year period, Mrs. Oke ex- plains. The building was condemned because the roof wasn't sturdy enough to support a heavy build- up of snow in winter months. Trusses and the roof chord are being doubled in strength to rule out the possibility of collapse. While council knew about the condition of the centre last summer, they opted to wait until LIP funds became available, before starting repair work. LIP — local initiatives project — is a provincial works program effective November 3 through the winter months, The program funds community oriented projects, picking up labour costs for a period up to 30 man weeks. Mrs. Oke says there is no danger to persons now using the centre because the heavy snow period is still months away, She says roof repairs to the arena area are almost complete and that ice machines will be turned on this week. "I'd estimate completion of the project for the end of February," she adds, At that time she says council will decide how best to debenture the $32,250 not covered by government grants. Council has the option of selling the municipal shares to government or local private interests. Council decided to have the building inspected in 1973, following a recommendation by the Ontario Ministry of Labour regarding arenas. The recommendation says in part — "no person shall com- mence to reconstruct a building or structure or add to or alter an existing building or structure that is an arena until the drawings thereof are examined by an engineer." The ministry sent the recommendation to municipalities after a number of arenas collapsed due to •snow build-up. Mrs. Oke says the recom- mendation doesn't have the power of law, but a decision by council to •employ an engineer makes the engineer's findings binding, "Once the engineer said the building needed additional support, we were committed to the project because of liability insurance — if an accident oc- curred with council aware repairs were necessary, we'd be responsible," she says, Mrs. Oke was concerned that other arenas in the area might be in need of renovation. "We thought the building was safe until we got the engineer's report," she says, Darts Standings as of November 14th Sassenachs 36 D.R.s 34 Scotties 31 Flying Highs 31 Robins 30 Itchy Niters 29 Last Chance 27 Double "W"s 25 Outlaws 24 Shiphunters 23 Wraggtime "4" 21 Winkers 20 Supremes 19 Inlaws 18 Night Hawks 17 Dead Enders 15 Schedule for November 21st 8:00 p.m. Wraggtime "4" vs. Winkers Last Chance vs. Scotties Supremes vs, Outlaws Dead Enders vs. Inlaws 9:30 p.m. Sassenachs vs. D.R.s Robins vs. Flying Highs Double "W" vs. Shiphunters Night Hawks vs. Itchy Niters Times-Advpcate, November 20, 197$ Paao 1 a .Zurich is awarded: $9,000, grant .toward renovations Council suggest Zurich village council rec- ommended the Huron County Board of Education keep separate school board payments bi-annual at the regular meeting last Wednesday.

Council believes a quarterly payment system would be too expensive because it increases the work load to collect four times a year; thereby leading to a need for more staff, + + + Council hired a new village auditor at the last regular Wednesday night meeting.
