(Ninth Report)
It has often been said that while
'Nero fiddled' Rome' burned. And
certainly last week in the Ontario
House while the opposition parties
talked, Elliot Lake and Bancroft
folk could see. the promise of
future security, put forward by the
Frost Government being obstruct-
ed by Liberals. and CCF who had
no alternative, to. offer. The serious
plight of our great uranium mining
communities has engaged much
public attention 'and' the most
earnest efforts of the' Government.
But with 'a 1;16(1161dr Oc co-oper-
ation from the Federal Govern-
ment, Ontario will surely, as al-
ways, prOduce a, solution based on

ning.” • 1 • • . •

WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY
by Edward McCourt
I will be especially appreciated by ail
those with Irish blood flowing in
their veins, It is not necessary,
however, to be Irish to enjoy it.
Edward McCourt came to Canada
from Ireland when he was two. He
lived on a homestead in north--
eastern Alberta, After education in
Canada and Oxford, he returned to
the west, eventually 'to become a
professor of English at the Uni-
versity of Saskatchewan, He has
been writing since 1040 and this is
his fifth novel.
It is a delightful story of a
fourteen year old boy written with
skill and perception. I cannot but
wonder that Michael is part Ed-
ward McCourt himself-the back-
ground is so similar. Michael Troy
lives on a poor farm in the foot-
hills of the Rockies. The time is
the late twenties or early thirties.
He attends a rural school, the sole
pupil in Grade IX and is -taught
by an earnest Scot, Lauchlan
Fraser (isn't that a satisfying name
-it fairly rolls on the tongue). His
father, a dreamer, fills the boy's
head full of stories from the old
land. To him. the great Finn Mc.,
Cull becomes real-reincarnated in
an immense stag that roams the
wooded hills, Michael even hunts
him with a bow and arrow and
dreams of owning a .22 shortly. He
is given a rifle by Blaze Corrigal,
a rum-runner, whom the whole
family helps to escape from the
AL this point his life pchoalinc ge.es
and he begins to grow up.
He had been disturbed by the rift
in his relationship with his sister,-
Sheila. She is seventeen and has
been living in town for two years,
attending the local high school.
They had been dependent upon
each other for companionship but
.of late Sheila had been scornful of
:Michael's reluctance to leave child-
ish things. There is an amusing
account of Michael's first encoun-
ter 'with a cigarette.: Many of us
will remember exactly how he felt,
