Olympic Games.
Modern. Version
Of Ancient Event
With the opening of the 16th
Olympiad at Melbourne, Australia
on Mpvemher 22, that eiter,becomes
the centre for an event which bad
its first beginnings in remote an-
tiquity. Nobody knows just when
the games began and who founded
them, but the Beck of Knowledge
Says there is a list of Winners from
776 B.C.. to 394 ,A,D, Once every
four years, on the plains of Glynis
pia bordering the sacred river of
Alpheus, the best athletes of
Greece met in competition in foot
racing, jumping, throwing the jave-
lin and the discus, wrestling and
boxing.
The revival of the Olympic
Games in modern times is due
chiefly to the efforts pf' a French-
man, Baron Pierre de Conhertin.
His enthusiasm spread, and the
first Olympic meeting IR over 1500
years vvas fittingly held at Athens
in 1896, Gradually the meetings be-
came truly representative and de-
veloped into the most important
international sporting events in the
world. The first two, post-war fix-
tures were' at London (1948) and
Helsinki (1952).
Athletes attending the 'Games
this year will find themselves in. an
attractive city With an agreeable
climate. Capital of the State of Vic-
toria, Melbourne lies at the mouth
of the Yarra River and has a popu-
lation approaching one and a half
SHADOW OF DEATH
By Lewis Milligan.
Viewing the world-from a hospi-
tal bed has been my experience
for the last six weeks and, al-
though for the most part it was a
painful ordeal, it had its advan-
tages in that one could survey the
scene from a detached point 01
view.
In the first place, when I found
myself being wheeled on a bed
into the operating room, fully con-
scious of the possibility. of not
emerging from the process alive, I
was utterly detached front and un-
concerned about the disturbed
condition of the World outside, The
Suez Canal crisis faded into insig-
nificance, and the prospect of a
third world war with its, threat of
atomic doom did not'- trouble me
in the least. Closing my eyes to
the ghostly' mesked figures
around me, I silently recited the
Passage of the' 23rd Psalm,
'Though I walk through, the valley
Of the shadow of death, i will fear
no evil, for Thou art with me,"
• When I emerged from that val-
ley I realized what the Psalmist
meant when he called it "the
shadow of death." He was not re-
ferring so mileh to death, itself but
rather to the threat and the fear
of death. That has a specific ap-
plication to the world at the pre-
sent time, when .the shadow of a
third world war with its forebod-
ing of universal death loornS over
mankind.
Reading the news from. day to
day in my hospital bed, the shad-
ow seemed to deepen arid the
world appeared to be moving help-
lessly into an operating room, the
Middle Bast, The operation has al-
ready entailed the loss of blood.
Whether it has' been successful
will depend upon the orderlies and
nurses Of the United. Nations who
hive now taken oVer With blood
transfusions and sedatives to bring
About a peaceful recovery. And all
the people will say AMEN.

To the Citizens of Wingham
We, the members of the Wingham Public
Utilities Commission and your representatives,
feel you are entitled to an explXnatiOn•regarding
the strike which has been called by the National -.
Union of Public Service Employees, of which one
of our employees, Mr. Charnney, is a member.
The Commission has in its possession a let-
ter from the Deputy Minister of Labour, advis,
ing that Local 55 of the National Union of.Pub-
lic Service Employees has not . applied to the
Ontario Labour Relations Board to be certified
as the bargaining agent of our employees.
Here are the facts—you be the judge:
We figure we have always treated our em-
ployees fairly and have not been informed of any
complaint. We pay this einployee $55.00 per
week, plus 50 per cent of Blue Cross, plus ap-
proximately two-thirds of pension and we paid
into pension fund on his behalf last year the
sum of $1458.26, to credit him for his years of
service. He receives Christmas bonus, usual
public holidays with pay. No deductions• are
made for bad weather, etc. We pay for two-
weeks holidays with pay, plus time and one-
half for overtime. So far as the Commission is
concerned Mr. Chamney has always been, con-
sidered a helper and did meter reading. .
So far as Mr. Holloway is concerned he was
'not dismissed because Of union activity, but be-
cause his work was not satisfactory.
Someone, we presume from the union, must
have complained to the Department of Labour
because they made a thorough investigation and
the Department notified the union and our com.,
mission they did 'not agree with the union 'com-
plaint and had no criticism of the Commission.
It is reported the union organizer claitns the
new employee was required- not to join the union
as a condition of employment. This is not true
and the said employee states the organizer tried
to make hint confirm this, which the employee re-
fused to do. According to this employee's report
the organizer and Mr. Chamney vaguely threat-
ened if he didn't join their Union they, would bar
him from being* employed by any other Hydra
Commission in Ontario.
This Commission has never refused to tie*
gotiate with a union Which has been certified by
the Ontario Labour Relations 130ard.
We regret any inconvenience this strike may
cause and ask your co-operation and indulgence.
Until this matter is settled the Commission's
interest is to keep hydro rates from being in-
creased unduly.
