"And still I gazed and still
the wonder grew - That idiot
drivers do the things they
do." -- Written feelingly. 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. Dales of
Townsend Street were
honoured by their children.
Because of winter weather
conditions it was decided to
hold the gathering early to
enable the whole family to be
together. Mr. and Mrs. Dale's
daughter and husband, Mr.
and Mrs. Wayne Taylor of
Varna hosted the celebration.
Present for the occa':ion was
the bridesmaid, Mrs.
Katharine Schaefer of Kit-
chener.
On the anniversary day,
December 23, 1977 there was
a second smaller party at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Dale
when 23 grandchildren were
present.

Former publisher and

us from Daytona Beach,
Florida where he and wife,
Margaret, are holidaying,
that fahrenheit temperature
outside his apartment was 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.
Students are working extra
hard to catch up on the work
they missed.
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)

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.

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.

Why is the defence of in-
sanity . only used in major
crimes like murder? 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.

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.
