"Reading' the column. brought back. some memories, and surprisingly, I realized things haven't changed a great deal. The !non-smoking .cam- paign was becoming in- creasingly verbal and active in 1975. Winning the $1,000,000 Olympic lottery was the ul tiMate .goal of almost every Canadian; winning the $100,- 000 Wintario draw was se- cond. Now we have an array of lottery tickets on which to spend our money, and I'm still wondering, if everyone is as broke as they claim they are, how can they af- ford to feed the gambling fever ovf lotteries.

Her rejection of the post Wednesday came a day after she finished third in a bid to become Huron County warden for 1980. The Goderich reeve told council she would "boycott ' the committee rather than sit on it." However, she could pot get a seconder for her motion to be reappointed to another committee. She said she was hoping to be appointed to the executive, planning or. road committees. Last year she was chairman of the board of health, "I wanted something to get my teeth into. I've already served my stint in soft services." A striking committee assigned the members of council to committees Tuesday after the inaugural session of county Council. While Palmer said she respected the difficulty of the striking committee's job, she claimed the appointment was made because she was a woman.

Questions like "How high Will the bill go?" and "Who will pay it?" were still up in the air. ,, An enterprising newspaper cartoonist suggested that, if the Olym- pic pool was not completed in time, the swimming events could take place in Pierre Trudeau's back yard.. International hockey games increased and were still exciting and emotional, But Canadians slowly began to wake up to the fact Canada no longer dominated. the world, of hockey, In 1975, the metric system was introduced to Canadians, beginning with temperature readings, then mileage rates and distances, now weights and measures. The average Canadian wasn't too keen on the idea in 1975, and most of us still aren't. Weather forecasters were predicting a harsh winter for 75/'76, and I mentioned it would be different from the calm winters we 'had en- joyed in Ontario during the two previous years. The winters since then have been anything but calm! The Ontario government was considering new gun legislation atter a series of shooting tragedies, and On- (ado motorists has been told --' to buckle up, and slow down.

The federal government had introduced an anti- inflation program, Canadians were wondering how long the controls would last and how effective they would be, The question was asked, "Will We beat inflation or will inflation beat us?"
