Today we 'were miss- insome 400 students.., from arnpng 140Q at school. That's about double for this time of year. It's the. 'flu. I've never seen so many kids and teachers dragging around as though they were not long for this world. ., croaking, sweating, dull gray in .colour, they are like so many, zombies. why don't they all stay in bed? Well, I have a theory about that. Bed is boring, unless you are engaged in sleeping, or some other pleasurable occupa- tion. Dental Health Week is upon us, tied I can't avoid the feeling that -.the cruel month of ,February is the logical time for it. ° I have considered dentists as honorable, but mortal enemies, since I was a kid., As a teenager, when my teeth had the consis- tency of cheese, every visit was a traumatic, experience. Crawl into the chair, wilting the dentist' would have, a heart-attack or something before you ;did, Clutch the arms,* a. death -grip Open the mouth and prepare to render up your soul; Mutter "Aggh . :Clug, as her asked stupid ques- tions abut what grade you were in, this year, My attitude to the manin the 'White coat didn't change in the service. Just before I was ship- ped overseas, I had 14 fillings in one afternoon. No anaesthetic. The maniac who did me filled about six canyons, then stuffed my .cheeks with cotton and went into the next room for afternoon tea, I could hear the teaspoons tinkling and the heartless swine exchanging jests with •the nurse as I.lay there quivering like a trout just pulled out of the water. It's not so bad with the new, "painless", drills. But there isn't much`; to work on any more. I break a piece off a tooth, go to the dentist,and whine, "Couldn't you just WW1dih t up one more time, It's rather like handing a man a single brick, and asking him to construct a high-rise with it.. However, young Jane Almond of Meaford thinks dentists are pretty fine fellows. Shehas won a prize and a plaque from them for a poster, chosen the. best for Den- tal ealth Week. Jane 'designed. the r . ter in Grade 5, and she's now, my twelve. dcome tothink of it, dentists e a decent living and 'some recognition. They are far more interested in saving your teeth than pulling them. And any man who spends a lot of time looking into mouths like Dine can't be all bad. And an Ontario reader who hails from Wrexham, North Wales, wrote after I mentioned Haat town. in a. recent column I spent a dreary winter there dur ing the war. Edward J. J nes wants to know if I wish any old contacts looked' up or have any anecdotes for the Wrexham Leader, Please, Mr. Jones, I am a hap- pily married man. Any old con- tacts would be strictly out of the picture. As for anecdotes. . well. You might mention the night they cancelled night -flying; the abomination of fighter pilots, be- cause of fog, We were so over- joyed, both instructors and stu- dents, that qute a celebration de- veloped. �, It began with hurling empty pint beer -mugs at the clock on the mantel. When we ran out of mugs and clock, another game began. This was an old RAF favourite, The hero takes off shoes and socks, lies.down on his back and blackens .the soles of his feet in the Cold fireplace. Ile then makes footprints up the wall, as high as he can reach,: He blackens feet again, gets up on a chair and makes further footprints; higher up. This continues until he is held up to the ceiling by some mates standingatop a . table.

X PRIVILEGES • The City of Hamilton has mov- ed a Step closer to becoming the first Canadian municipality to have a system of recoveringyand recycling metal cans from house- old garbage. Under the plan, the city willget cash for some of its trash. M and T Products of Canada has offered to buy all steel scrap separated magnetically from Hamilton's new solid . waste re- duction plant. The firm estimates it will be able to reclaim about 6,000 tons of steel a year ,from municipal waste, in.0 011*About 80 minion used tltd a mage The .gityt�, .= 've about $25,000 a year_for the waste metal. Hamilton board of control has approved the M and T proposal. K. M. Bethune of Toronto, a spokesman for the Metal ,Con- tainer Manufa ers' Advisory Council said thclamation and recyclingofmetal containers .in Hamilton will be the first practi- cal recovery and re -use of any waste material by. a Canadian municipality. "It is a pioneer effort providing industrial leadership in this field. Steel scrap is unique in that it can be rapidly extracted from muni- cipal waste, magnetically by a shredding system." The metal container council has offered to finance installation of modifications to the Hamilton solid waste reduction plant to make possible detaining of all ex- tracted ferrous metal. though someone has taken a rue et the wall, gone right upA,. across the ceiling and down the other side.

Miik prodvt‘rs will not suffer • cuts /n quota OTTAWA -- Producers of manufacturing milk and cream throughout Ontario who do not meet their quota requirements during the current dairy year will not have their quotas reduced for the 1973-74 year. This announcement was made recently by the 'Canadian Dairy Commion. The action is being taken after consultation between the Cana- dian Dairy Commission, the On- tario Milk Marketing Board and the Ontario Cream Producers' Marketing Boasted. It applies bith to the Commission ' subsid:" uotas and the< market-sh `" q '>rut� quotds admtniste rod, b the it 10 provincial, agencies. h •' Itis an extension of action taken in August when waiving of revision of thequotas was applied to quota holders in a number of Ontario counties and townships severely hit by adverse weather. The—Wee agencies have been assessing the situation since their originat announcements in Aug- ust. While, weather conditions have not been as severe in the rest -of the province to which the waiver is being extended; they have been such as to create diffi- culties for dairy farmers in at- tempting to retain their produc- tion levels. In normal practice,, if a pro-• ducer ships less than 75 per cent of his quota during \a dairy year, his quota for the following year is reduced by the amount which his deliveries were below the 75 per cent. One percent Ontario firms foreign owned The Ontario ministry of trea- sury, economics and inter -gov- ernmental affairs, in a recent re- port, said that foreign-owned cor- porations .in the province make up one per cent of the companies operating in Ontario. The report says there were 117,113 corporations in Ontario at the end of 1971 and 1,011 were foreign-owned. At the end of March, 1972, there were 122,078 corporations, of which only 857 were owned by foreign firms.
