There is still a good deal to be
said of life in the smaller commun-
ities scattered throughout the prov-
ince, and the greatest thing about
these small places is they keep the
community spirit which pervades
theM with the desire to keep their
communities on the map.
Recently the five hockey teams
whichprovided residents of the Got-
. rte district were entertained in the
community hall there, along with
the wives, sweethearts and parents.
No lesS than 220 sat down to a boun-
teous meal served by the ladies of
the community and the Women's
,s„ that: number of
mouths to be led. 'was no small
undertaking.
The people of Gorrie and the
other communities in that district
are justly proud of the boys who
have turned out faithfully all winter
to provide excitement and interest.

SOME HUMANS ARE PIGS
You've heard this cry before', in
fact you'Ve read, the same words
right in this column, Nonetheless
we never cease to be amazed at the
filthy habits of the few who love to
clutter up the earth the rest must
live in and want to enjoy.
This spring the evidences of these
sloppy creatures are on every hand
throughout the countryside. There
is one area near the east boundary of
Kinloss Township where some low
grade individual has dumped actual
truck loads 'of empty oil cans, Old,
bottles and coffee tins—not all in
one place, 'tilt in eight or ten spots
through what otherwise would be a
lovely piece of natural swampland.
The same type of pigsty activity
has, been taking place all over the
rural areas: We have a most beauti-
ful countryside in our part of the
world and it is just a crying shame
that a few who care iidthing about
it can mar the enjoyment of so many.
Visitors from other and more tidy
areas must think we are a loathsome
aggregation.
The Department of Highways
has posted signs along its routes,
• giving notice of the fact that there
is a $50.00 fine for cluttering up
their property. The municipalities
in this area should pass similar by-
laws and take some action to see that'
they are enforced.
IN POOR TASTE
Last week the famous .TV per-
sonality,. Arthur Godfrey, entered
hospital •for the removal of a portion
of one lung because of a cancerous
condition. That segment of the
press of which we are not extremely
proud, naturally made a great deal
of comment out of the entertainer's
condition and his remarks about it.
There is s orn ething indecent
about quotationg- such as " . . cold,
clammy fear gnawing at his vitals.."
Certainly Mr. -Godfrey had every
right to experience fear. Any of us
would feel the same way in similar
circumstances, and no doubt persons
in, every station in life have known
the chili of deep-rooted fear when
they have faced the possibility of
fatal illness, Such fear is natural—
but even, the commonest persons
have faced their fears in the dignity
of silence.
It is not likely. that Godfrey in-
tended the entire continent to read
the intimate details of his fear, but
by this time he, above all people
should know what the sewation-
seeking members of the press can do
with such quotations.

:TIME BADLY CHOSEN
At the present time Field Mar-
shall Montgomery is in Russia talk-
ing things over with the Red bosses.
He may have and undoubtedly was '
a- great soldier, hut it would appear
that he should confine his remarks
to that field, and that it would he
better if he applied the same
cipline ,to his tongue that lie did to
his troops.
In his recently published bobk the
field marshal] had many. things to ,
say about General Eisenhower and
his conduct of the campaign
Europe during the final year of the
war. Many of the statements' are
hardly in the spirit Of good sports-
'manship for which the British axe
noted.
If all the after effects of the war
were over, and if Eisenhower, like
Montgomery, were retired, it might
be a different matter, But as matters
stand at the present time Eisen-
hower is still in harness, doing his
best to 'deal with- events which are
arising, as a direct consequence of
. the war itself, Montgomery's criti-
cal phrases must be injurious to the
Eisenhower administration when -its
representatives approach the council
table. None of which adds up to
any bettering of affairs for the allies
who fought and won: the second
world war.
Since Montgomery is so anxious
to be heard in matters of interna,tion-
concern, it behooves him to enter
polities and gain the support of some
segment of the voting public. In
that way he would at least be AS8UM-
ifig some responsibility for the con-
sequences of his HI-times reinarks.

• These days, a favourite theme
of some columnists is a new deal
for the Royal Tour, They want
the Queen to meet the "`common
people", to get the flavour of the
"real. Canada" this summer. They
demand, these pipsqueak prophets,
that the people in .dhatge of the
tour chitin:lie all pomp and cere-
mony, cut-out the reception lines
and banisb the official banquets.
• $$$ * *
They want the • Queen to visit
supermarkets, go on picnics, take
part in square dances, and engage
in all sorts of similar 'asinine antics.
Zt the supermarket is . a symbol -of
our Canadian way of life, take me
back to dear old Dixie.
'I' * *
And what's so great 'about the
"common people',? I knoW a lot
of common people. in fact, my
wife often tells the lilt. as common
as they come. And frankly, Pm
not particularly impressed, by thent.
Uncommon people are much snore
interesting.
* * *
It's bad enough, having to shake
the hot little hands of a few thous-
and perspiring officials and their
quivering, wives, without getting
all. downed- up with the common
peOple. If Her Majesty was inter-
ested in meeting common people,
she wouldn't need to come all, the
way to Canada, They have plenty
of them in England,
* * *
Another thing. !What, have the
common people done to earn the
privilege of a, greeting or a hand-
shake from the Queen? All they've
done is pay.. t .their taxes, and that.
under vehement protest and with
the greatest; reluctance,
ii' *
Olt the other. hand, Mayor Mal
Function and-Mr. Seldom Wright,
M.P., have bee!n, listening to our
complaints about sewers, 'our, de-
mands for new post offices, for
years. They have laboured through
many a dreary' 'task for us, while
We were out litthing; or home wat-
ching TV. Why shouldn't they,
as our representatives, have the
honour and the pleasere, if they,
get a chance to meet the Queen?
They've earned it,
At eft *
Of course, if she just happened
to bump into some of us common
types, in a purely spontaneous way,
that would be different. Like, for
example, the Royal Yacht Will be
passing within 50 miles of our
house, on duly 4th, This I know.
And by pure coincklenee, ii just
happen to have a fait brunch char,
tered/or the fourth of ,July.
Now, if we Plat 'happened to he
passing right in front of the Royal
Yacht that day, and out boat bap-
pened to eatch fire, arid / had to
thrOW 'the kids, the dog, and the
Old Lady into Georgian r.ny, -and
Prince Philip &Mended that the
Yacht stop and take us aboard,
well, ,that would be different, and
sort of drarnatic, and I'm sure
we'd all have a nice, chat.
