When he had to fork out $1.00 or so everytime. These young hockey players spend their own money on tape, equipment,sticks andgas;for their cars to drive to all the games. What's more they never complain about it, because they love the gameand love to play it,Let's not drive their parents and other good fans away from the arena by charging too much admission. If the club don't have any fans out, what's the use of their even stepping out on the ice? It seems to me and people from other towns that the Exeter hockey association are after everybody's money. The more they can get out of everybody the better they like it. Thats a real good way not to get any. So why not charge a decent admission and keep the parents and fans coming out, It is to the associations advantage. Sincerely An Exeter Hockey Fan, Doreen kirk ' I, ),.; ,;:, up with one of the symptoms of scurvy known as "dire rear." In the interests of clarity, this has nothing to do with the term "rear admiral," Understandably, Sir Dud flew into a high rage, the only type allowed to senior officers, and uttered a good deal of silly and unnecessary noise, or "geon," when he had to wait his turn for the "john." As naval tradition has it, this led to the wedding of "dud" and "geon," meaning a john that isn't working, or a senior officer with a red face, or a towering rage, whichever you choose. That's one of the beauties of the English language. You can take your pick. And you know what you can do with it. If you have followed me carefully through this brief but enlightening exploration into semantics, I am sure you have come to the conclusion, as I have, that I am not a Curmudgeon at all. I am not a mean guy, I haven't hit a little kid since mine grew up. I am not cool under the toes. My feet heat something terrible in this weather. I am not a loser. How can you know you're a loser when you don't know what it is to be a winner? I do not go around making silly and unnecessary noises, except when it is absolutely necessary. And finally, I feel that I am definitely getting somewhere. Dear Editor: The Cabinet Meeting We'll have to save some money We'll cut our"Health care" down We'll pick on those who're mentally ill Their protests we can drown. We'll close the Psych at Goderich The one in Timmins, too. The "hicks" in Huron County Will not know what to do. And as for that "Northeastern" It's far enough away No matter how they holler We won't hear a word they say The sick, depressed, psychotic, Will be told to "Have .no fear We will still be offering help Far, far away from here" And every worried relative Must firmly be assured That saving money's paramount Not who is helped or cured. And, we con reconstruct these ,Waots To suit retarded folk And train and hire new staff and all And here's the biggest joke We'll give the Federal Govern- ment One half the bill to pay So we'll be saving lots of cash - -The Provincial Way — If any stupid taxpayer Should question our neat scheme We'll just chuckle in our beer And bless The Blue Machine. "A Huron County Hick" Hensall approves 12 lots In a special. meeting Monday night, Hensall council gave ap- proval to the division of blocks D and E into 12 separate lots for the construction of single family dwellings by George Andelfinger, a contractor from London. Two of the lots will have 65 foot frontage, the other ten 53 foot frontage, All will be 132 feet deep. Andelfinger now has to get approval for the division from the Land Division Committee of Huron County, The Committee first opposed the idea because the lots front on the Bendex factory. If he receives approval from the committee, then Andelfinger will have to enter into agreements with the PUC of Hensall for water and hydro services, the Ministry of Environment for sewers and the town of Hensall for landscaping, sidewalks and streetli:hts.

Times-Advocate, January 22, 1976 Page Henson personal Regarding the Juvenile hockey game Sunday night, December 28, 1975, Lambeth at Exeter, the admission price of $1.00 instead of the usual 75c was ridiculous. Its not that the garhe wasn't worth $1.00, To me it was. If that extra 25c had gone towards more practise time for the Juvenile team, but I know it didn't, The excuse that came from the President was it was a tour- nament and we could have been there all day for $1.00. Actually the tournament was over about 7 p.m. This game was a regular scheduled game. I wasn't the only fan who was mad. The Lambeth fans were furious, to say the least. The admission at Lambeth and most other arenas is 50c. I don't blame them for being mad. Next time Exeter hockey goes to Lambeth the Exeter fans will be sure paying through the nose, you can bet on it. Though its not our fault, we are the ones who get the static. Too bad Mr, President doesn't have to go when we do. Maybe the Continued from page 4 you are either in the doghouse, or you are a loser. I hope that is clear. To the root word "mud" (unless we want to root around in the mud a bit longer), we attach the prefix "cur." A cur, as everyone knows, is a cad with teeth, and sometimes a moustache, who plays the villain in old-fashioned melodramas. In new-fashioned melodrama, he also has teeth and a big belly or a bald head, and he has become the hero. Still with me? We now have "curmud," signifying a mean guy who is cool under the toes, has wrinkles, or is a loser. Sometimes all three. Now we come to the suffix, "geon," which is of more obscure vintage. It is of Hungarian antecedent, and it seems to have meant, originally, something we might call colloquially "a dummy who makes a lot of silly and' un- necessary noise without getting anywhere," which is rather a I contradiction in terms, come to think of it. There are many perversions of the original, of course. We find the suffix in such words as "Injun," "engine," and "john." But the original meaning is in there somewhere. An Injun, for example, is one of the original "In" people, who rides around in ever-diminishing circles, emitting war-whoops, until he is shot off his horse. Think of your car, The engine makes a lot of silly and un- necessary noise — at least mine does — and gets nowhere, but the engine remains exactly where it started , .. in the car. And, of course, there is the colloquial word "john," meaning a toilet. Or water closet or backhouse, if toilet offends you. This item of hardware indulges in a great deal of unnecessary noise, whether receiving or transmitting, and is usually going nowhere, except on trains, buses or airplanes, when it is so active it has to put up a "busy" §ign most of the time. On ships, of course, with their innate sense of superiority, the "john" is called a "head," This came about when one of the head men in the British Navy, Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, af- fectionately known to his jolly *tars as "dud," once went looking for the "john" and discovered a lot of Common Seamen (and a very common lot they Were) lined
