Like many South Huron residents I was ,in Crediton Monday evening to watch the display put on by the area fire department. The show began with desultory rocket fire, mingl- ed with flares and star shell- like objects. Standing there safe and sound, I couldn't help thinking about a series of islands in the south Atlantic where young men were participating in a fireworks display of a more serious nature. All the elements of an ar- tillery barrage were present at the Crediton display. First off were the trial shots - the gunners check out their equipment, observe the fall of shots and zero in on the range. A flare or star shell il- luminates the night and • allows forward observers to check the hit location and the damage done. Then, like the Crediton finale, you let him have it with everything in the inventory. Rocket after rocket il- luminated the ball park, bursting with a tremendous bangs and spraying ' showers of glittering sparks and ashes. You can shut your eyes, but you still see the flash; you can cover your ears but you still hear the boom - all you need is someone throwing a hand- ful of dirt at you and the illu- sion is complete. A little closer, a lot louder, a lot brighter, the shocking whir of shrapnel... By all reports from the Falklands the reliability of modern weaponry is no better than that of May fireworks. A recent report noted British were fending off at- tacking Argentine fighters with land based missiles, ship's weapons and Harrier jump -jets. The text books indicate a first round kill probability of about 80-90 percent for a modern anti-aircraft missile like Rapier. From the sounds of reports, the rockets seem to be shooting themselves down more often than they shoot down aircraft. The situation in the islands is much like ,the Spanish- American War of the 1890s. During that conflagration, jingo -journalism reached its heyday. The closest most writers got to the war in Cuba was Miami or a hotel in Havana. Argentinian reports from Buenos Aires are no more ac- curate than British reports from the aircraft carriers, frigate, both state -of -the art in modern warships. Granted the newspapers do not have all the facts of the situation, but something is amiss in this "war." Miscellaneous Rumblings By Rob Chester filtered through militarycen- sors. It is the items not reported that let you draw certain conclusions. Last week, the British sup- posedly raided the islands with 1,000 men. Since it was previously reported the British had assault forces of about 4,000, you can conclude you don't just raid with one quarter of your force. This was the landing and the British meant business: It is harder to deduce what is happening now. Perhaps the British are (under political constraints) cautiously planning their next step. Also likely is the stiff resistance of the Argentine forces, the Argentine air. superiority and the seeming failure of modern weapons. Anything less than a total land victory in the Falklands will mean a losing stalemate , for the British. The Argen- tines are out a second-rate cruiser while the British have dropped a destroyer and a PERCY BEDARD Carpenter *Custom Built Homes *Renovations *Additions *Repairs *Free Estimates Phone 236-4873 After 6 Zurich NOTICE Village of Zurich Taxpayers are remind- ed that the second instalment of 1982 taxes are due on or before June 1, 1982. Avoid the penalty for late pay- ment by remitting before June 1. Sharon Baker Clerk Treasurer My feelings go -out to the soldiers of both sides. It doesn't appear to be the military which is responsible for casualties, but the politi- cians delaying matters. Agood percentage of any war is just fireworks, but the few percent of the real thing makes you wonder if a lonely patch of rock in the South Atlantic is really worth the effort. ing some of their children, spouses and grandchildren along with Fr. Mooney. Flowers on the table were sent by daughter and husband Melissa and Dave Beer from B.C. It was followed by a get- together at their home with relatives dropping in for a piece of cake, and offering their best wishes to mom and dad in the future. Congratulations to Willy and Martha Overholt who celbrated their silver wedding anniversary (25) on Saturday. They had a delicious roast • beef dinner for family and relatives at the Zurich Com- munity Centre for approx- imately 150 people. A lovely evening was en- joyed afterwards along with several invited guests who danced to the music of the Blue Water Play Boys. R as Varna. girls to compete in WOAA By Mary Chessell Varna The Varna girl's midget ball team, coached by Ivan McClymont, will be playing in the WOAA this year against teams from Walkerton, Durham etc. Their first home game is on Tuesday, Jupe 1 at 9:00 p.m. against Teeswater. This should be good ball, and your support at the games would be much appreciated. Personals Tom Consitt was admitted to Clinton Hospital on Sunday morning. We wish him a speedy recovery. Obedience school For those who wondered why there are so many vehicles around the park and the rink on Monday and Tues- day evenings, it's the Bluewater Kennel Club dog obedience school; which is be- ing held in Varna this year. The two Monday night classes are instructed by Philip and Nola Bradley of Clinton, and the Tuesday night class by Joe and Janet Lobb of Brucefield. It's a ten - week course. Those who have purebred dogs are eligible for Canadian Kennel Club trials leading to a CB (Companion Dog) qualificattp. Agriculal missionary •' speaker Those who attended church in Varna and Goshen on Sun- day were rewarded with an inspiring message of the work done by our agricultural mis- sionaries in improving the lot of the ordinary people in countries where' their ex- perience has been under- nourishment, starvation and disease. Dr. Allen Knight, who is retired after many years in Angola and Zaire in agricultural research and teaching, told how simple and inexpensive tools such as a wheel hoe and a peanut shelter remove much of the drudgery for the women, who are the labourers in those countries. Two - bags of ce- ment will make a protected spring where they can get clean, unpolluted water, and soybeans will, provide them with the protein they lack. Asked how •church members can best help in this work, he said we should sup- port the missionary workers through the Mission and Ser- vice Fund of the church. These well-educated, dedicated Christians are ob- viously doing terrific work. This coming Sunday, Rev. Theodore Lutz and his fami- ly of Mississauga will be visiting Miss Brown and he will be the guest preacher. Rev. Lutz has spent several summers at Goshen in Egypt and should have an in- teresting message. The main structure of the former Scotchmer barn, which stood at the rear of the park in Varna, has been dismantled by Bob Webster, the new owner 'of the property. Tramework and roof came down neatly on Monday morning with a pull from Bob Webster and Bill . Chessell's tractors and a push from Bill Dowson's tractor and loader. By noon most of it was clean- ed up. Bob is building a garage and workshop on the site. Golden Glimpses Many people were disap- pointed with the cool, damp weather for the holiday weekend after enjoying almost July weather last week. Last Tuesday afternoon, the . girls of the Explorer Group of Exeter United Church paid their yearly visit to the residents, providing , music for them during the supper hour and treating them to the desserts they pro- vided. We thank them for making this a pleasant year- ly event for the residents. The sympathy of residents and staff is extended to the family of the late Mrs. Susan Link. The members of the aux- iliary are reminded of the an- nual picnic for the residents to be held on Tuesday afternoon, June 1. The business part of the meeting will be held in the board room at.2 p.m. to be followed by the program We welcome Mrs. Bertha Corriveau, formerly of the R111P water. highway. Residents who were out visiting during the week were Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Westlake, Mrs. Margaret Pfaff, Mrs. Ruby Hoggarth, Mrs. Eva Thompson and Mrs. Matilda Tetreau. Bingo was played on Friday evening, • followed by refreshments. . The chapel service Was con- ducted by Rev. Jack Dressler of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Zurich. BREATHING EXERCISES — Kim Reddick and Heather Westlake of Zurich Public School are involved in breathing exercises during Wednesday's elementary school music seminar at the South Huron Rec Centre. Zurich 4-H group judges beef cattle By Caroline Tickner On Monday, May 10 the Zurich 4-H Calf Club held its fourth meeting , at Mark Erb's. We went to the barn to judge beef cattle. Ray told us what to look for on a beef steer or heifer. Then we all went about the difficult task of judging them. • When we were finished we went to the house where we opened the meeting with the 4-H pledge. Sharon then read the minutes of the last meeting and took the roll call. The next meeting is to be at Mark Erb's to judge beef and then we will go to Sharon Thiel's for the rest of the meeting. We then talked about the. skit. It was decided that Caroline and Sharon would have the fun job of writing the l pa After we talked about the judging competition and a few other things. The meeting was then closed. Mrs. Erb served refreshments and Sharon thanked her for holding the meeting.
