With the solid yellow or dotted lines covered by snow, with visibility reduced to three or four car lengths, but with a complete disregard of common sense and safety - there are idiot drivers who will pull out and pass you in a blizzard. +++ A pre -celebration of a 50th wedding anniversary in December was held last Thanksgiving weekend when Mr. and Mrs. D.A.

Hullett Happennings- School closed On January 9, 10 and 11, Hullett Central Public School was closed due to the major storm that swept the area.

Early dismissal Starting January 4th, school started dismissing 15 minutes earlier,for the winter months. ,, School' still starts at 9 o'clock, but noon is fifteen minutes shorter. Dismissal is now at 3:20 instead of 3:35. Snowshoes Once again, the pupils of Hullett have the privilege of the use of snowshoes. Each noon hour two grades may use the snowshoes. The` snowshoes were purchased by last year's students' council. No, that's nota football that Hal Hartley brought back from his visit to the Rose Bowl this month. It's a giant lemon that was given to him by .a resident of Indio, California. The lemon, measuring 191/2 inches in cir- cumference, was picked from a tree next to Red Garon's trailer. (News -Record photo) Stuck in the middle 062 Q q• by Shelley McPhee We often complain about the sales of Canadian items being outnumbered by imported goods. In principal we disagree with the barrage of foreign music, literature, movies and media that is infiltrating our Canadian market. Some Canadians dislike the thoughts of Canadian earned money going into foreign countries through tourism. However, that many Canadians fail to realize is that the people of this country are dominated or influenced by other nations .because they have little pride in their own goods or potential. We're convinced the Dutch cheese and French wines are better than our own. We believe that the best en- tertainment comes from the United States and the only place to see history as a tourist attraction is England. Actually, Canadian produced items are just as good if not better than foreign goods. In fact, recently wine connoisseurs were comparing different wines and unknowingly on blind testing, ranked a Canadian wine as good as a French Bordeau. Basically one of the reasons for our lack of pride, in- dividuality and dignity is because Canadians have no history, or at least we haven't preserved much of it. It's impossible to base a nation'S value or importance on the future and equally as difficult to grade it on the present, since the outcome is unknown. However, it is through our past, our heroes, our legends, our land and our architecture that a certain amount of pride and national unity can be developed. Through this past we can all develop a common in- terest in history that will give us a sense of self im- portance and confidence in our country for generations to come. Take for instance the Clinton Town Hall. Through its preservation of a unique form of Canadian architecture, Clinton will have something to show its ancestry and its forefathers mho build the town. More and more people are beginning to see the im- portance of their past. Recently Hullett Township compiled their history in book form and Goderich has just put out a great book telling the history of that town, If we all show some pride in our past, we will be able to carry on into the future as a confident country that will be able to stand up and take pride in its own production and goods. Two men receive jail terms Wayne Wesley Ward, 22, an escapee from the Maplehurst Training School near Milton who was arrested by the Goderich Detclment of the OPP in Vanastra on Monday, December 12, received two years and four months in the Kingston Penitentiary in Goderich Court on Monday. A man he had been travelling with, George Dolittle of Uxbridge, received a term of two years and three months in, Kingston Penitentiary. v The two men were charged with possession of stolen property. This included thefts from the outlying areas of Clinton, the Hensall area and Alliston.The pair also stole a truck from the lot of McLaughlin Motors "in Seafog th. The Goderich OPP reported that along with Ward's sentence he also received another sentence of a year, for attempting to break jail, in Walkerton and hitting a guard.

CLINTON Can a priest or a psychiatrist be made to tell anything they were told in private? Strictly speaking, the only professional confidences which the courts will recognize is that which exists between a lawyer and his client. In most of the US there are laws on the books saying a priest does not have to divulge things people tell him in the course of his duties. But this is not the case in Canada. Either a priest or a psychiatrist can in theory be made to tell what he knows. But in practice, the courts are most reluctant to make either a priest or a psychiatrist divulge professional confidences, and ,will usually not order them to do so.

It seems to me that since it can get the person off, it should also be able to be used for other of- fences such as shoplifting, or for that matter, traffic of- fences. First of all you are quite wrong in assuming that "it gets the guilty party off" because, once a person is proved to have been insane at the time of the commission of an offence,. "the law requires that he or she can be put into a mental institution." Once put in as a criminally insane petson, that person cannot be released until the government decides to let him or her out. Obviously then, a successful plea of insanity could result in a virtual "Life Sentence" for any minor crime. Hope this explanation answers your question. T. Pryde' sa" District Representative Don Denomme 75 HAMILTON GODERICH MONUMENTS - MARKERS LETTERING 524- 2373 OR 6621 -- appointments - anytime Whe I started work in this department store I had to sign a Tong contract which in part, stated, that I could not sue the store for injury or damage. Am I bound to this contract? Since you work in a retail store, the employer is obliged to pay into the accident fund of thie Workmen's Compensation Board. Since you are covered under the Workmen's Com. pensation Act you would not be able to_ sue your employer for job-rleated injuries in any event. You would have to go to, WCB. Your employer cannot ask you to sign away this right, so in any event, that term of the contract is of no legal effect whatsoever.
