Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
I used to suspect, but now I '
am sure -- the Beatles are a
hoax. The whole world is be-
ing subjected to the biggest
piece of jiggery-poicery since
the South Sea Bubble; and Iwill
laugh along with the Beatles
when we are all told that the
Beatles are University graduates
on the spree, not the kindergar-
ten drop -outs so readily wor-
shipped by modem taste.
So conscious of their hood-
winker• are these four young
fellows that they have a hard
time keeping a straight race on
the stage, and, 1 atu more than
willing to bet. a harder time
at the hank.
There are two things how-
ever that those floppy wigs can-.
not conceal from the T.
close-up camera: they are in-
telligence and contempt. The
Beatles contemn their public
heartily, and delight in insult-
ing those who degenerate into
wailing "screamiess"; further-
more, they contemn them-
selves for the worthlessness of
their material and for their
manifest lack of talent. On
stage. when they are not snig-
gering over the success of their
put -oyer, they find it hard to
cotreeal their boredom.
And so I want to otter my
heartiest congratulations to the
Beatles. They possess the in-
telligence and shrewdness re
exploit the degeneracy of pop-
ular taste. The deluded, (and
I may add happy) public is pay-
ing out millions to a group of
young men whose technique
consists in lampooning their
own fans.
"Well done", I say, "keep
it up, and much success to you.
Anybody who fabs for such a
trick deserves to be taken again
and agant. Keep it up Beatles.
You have found the Philoso-
pher's Stone to Success, the
Great Truth of our Modern
World, the New Rule of Soci-
ety, which states that only the
most worthless things have any
value."
Yours sincerely,
C. M. Worsnop.

Busses Proved
Value of Lights
During Daytime
Anything that could reduce
the staggering number of traf-
fic accidents would be wel-
come, and a new safety device
called a "running -light" pro-
mises to do just that.
It's a small light that's in-
stalled on the front grille of a
car and it automatically turns
on with the ignition. The run-
ning -light makes a car more
clearly visible during daylight
hours. It also ensures that the
vehicle is lighted at dawn,
dusk and on cloudy days when
a driver may not think to turn
on his headlights. The run-
ning -light is inexpensive, sim-
ple to install and easy on the
battery.
The 'Lights On' program
that bus companies have been
running for more than a year
proves that a clearly visible
vehicle is on the right road to
safety. A 150/0 reduction in day-
time accidents is reported
since busses started driving with
their headlights on during the
day.
The running -light is a 21 -
candlepower white light and
much less expensive than seal-
ed beam lights.. Its use is
especially important for suburb-
an and highway drivers. When
turning out of a side -road, or
passing on a highway, a casual
glance may fail to reveal an
approaching car. It may be of
a colour that blends with the
horizon or it may be obscured
by shadows. But an on -coming
vehicle that is travelling 65
miles an hour is only ten sec-
onds away and should be clear-
ly visible. A ray of sunlight
reflecting off its surface, or a
running -light, could be an im-
portant safety factor - the dif-
ference between an accident
and a pleasant trip!
A judge says that not en-
ough attention is paid to edu-
cating pedestrians. They
should be taught to not trust
any drivers.

Only Foil Is Used
By Women Fencers
The word "fence" is an ab-
breviation of "defence." The
art of fencing, therefore, de-
veloped from the sheer neces-
sity of defending oneself again-
st one's enemies.
Modern fencing had its be-
ginning some time after the
Battle of Crecy in 1346. This
was one of the first battles in
which British troops used can-
non, and the introduction of
this weapon made it obvious
that heavy armor and heavy
swords were no longer sufficient
in military engagements.
However, a sword was still
very much in derr: and, because
Europe was infested with foot-
pads, cut-throats and other
criminals. In place of the
broadsword and" other unwieldy
weapons, the rapier came into
popularity. This was a pointed,
double-edged blade from four
to five feet in length, with a
protective cup just below the
handle. The finest rapiers were
made in Spain, inasmuch as
Toledo steel was the strongest
and most flexible of the time.
An expert with the rapier
was in great demand all over

Europe, especially as body-
guard to royalty, the aristoc-
racy and wealthy merchants.
In the 16th, 17th and 18thr
centuries, duelling on the field
of honor became common not
only in Europe but also in the
United States. It passed out of
existence towards the end of
the 19th century and fencing
became a dying art.
It was resuscitated during the
rebirth of the Olympic Games
in 1896 and is now a popular
sport all over ttie world. The
International Federation of
Fencing recognises three wea-
pons, the foil, the eppe and
the saber. The foil is the only
weapon used by women fencers.

WORKMEN OF CORNELL Construction Company started
the excavation this week for the main pumping station
which is part of the sewage project. The pump will be
located just south of Scott Street on No. 4 Highway. When
the system is complete the station will pump sewage,
which collects in a well, across the river to the lagoons
to be constructed to the south and west of Wingham.
