what they wanted from Santa.”
Now Bob Rae can find out how
hard it is to play Santa, Ward said.
“People grow up and learn who
pays for the North Pole toy factory
but they never seem to figure out
who pays for the goodies they
expect to get from government.”
THURSDAY: Julia Flint said it’s
nice that our government has
decided to send more food to
Russia to help out with the troubles
over there but it’s too bad they
can’t do more for the people living
in the streets here.
Yes, said Billie, but the people in
the streets don’t have any money
while the Russians supposedly do.
Ah, asked Ward, but if the
Russians can’t get their own
economy going, how are they
supposed to find enough money to
pay for our food?
No matter, Billie says. Our
government only seems to be
worried about not giving things
away when it’s to our own people.
When they give it away to some
other government it becomes for
eign aid and they get to be good
guys not deficit builders.
“Ah, what the heck,” Hank said.
“We farmers have been giving our
food away for years anyway so the
government might as well give it
away too.”

Boy dies in tragic accident
For the second time in just over a
year a Gorrie-area family has been
the victim of tragedy.
Nineteen-month-old Trevor
Terry Bauman, of RR 2, Gorrie,
was pronounced dead on arrival at
Listowel Memorial Hospital after a
pick-up truck driven by his uncle
Lawrence Wideman, 21, ran over
him, police say. The boy’s father,
Murrel Bauman was killed in
October of last year in a car-truck
accident.
In a report in the London Free
Press the youngster’s grandfather
Ernest Wideman said that Trevor
had been in the barn with his
mother, Janice, 26, his mother’s
sister, Doris Wideman and his
four-year-old brother Derek. He
apparently left the barn to go
behind the driving shed after
asking permission to see the “Moo
Moos”. The grandfather said that
Trevor’s aunt watched him until he
was out of sight.
Lawrence Wideman, who had
been living on the Wallace Town
ship farm was backing the truck out
of the driving shed where he had
been working on a tractor battery.
Police say that Trevor was on the
driver’s blind side and his uncle
would not have realized what
happened until he got out of the
truck. The accident occurred at
6:30 p.m. and though there was a
yardlight Mr. Wideman Sr. said it
was still dark.
Funeral services were held Tues
day and Trevor will be buried
beside his father, Mr. Wideman
said. Listowel O.P.P. told the Free
Press that no charges will be laid
nor will there be an inquest.
