A whiskered, 73,year-old Huron.
County man found a haven in the
jail here after he was turned away
---_- _ ►t.RrttttqAlona
The story- of Mr. A, _as lie shall
be called in this report, was un-
folded in magistrate's court at
Goderich Thursday.
When Mr. A's case came up,
Magistrate D. E. Holmes explained
to him that this was an enquiry
to see whether he should be sent to
the County Home. Under - the
Homes for Aged Act, 'magistrates
have power to order that a person
be admitted.
"We were out there and they
turned me down," replied the
elderly man.
"Well, Ithink we have a little
more force this time," commented
the magistrate. , He adjourned the
case for four weeks; in the mean-
time, officials will endeavor to
mak arrangements to have Mr. A
admitted to the County Home.
It was learned that Turnberry
Township officials made an un-
successful effort to have the man
admitted on April 18. Later, when
he was found wandering around,
he was picked up by Provincial
Police and lodged in jail on a
vagrancy charge. '
In court Thursday, Dr. A. H.
Taylor, jail surgeon, testified that
the elderly• man was pot able to
get around very well due to an ail-
ment. He. needed medical atten-
tion, said the doctor.

May Day in , Merrie England of
yore was one thing: lads and lasses
cavorting gaily about the Maypole,
singing "Hey, nonny, no" and all
that, their bare feet caressed by
the new spring velvet of the vil-
lage green.
* * *
May Day in modern Moscow is
something else: thousands of boots
crashing in brutal rythm, hundreds
of tanks clanking their cruel mess-
age, as the Soviets parade their
armed might, in wave upon wave,
through Red' Square, to celebrate
the Revolution. • .
* * *
"Mayday" to the flier is still
another thing. When he hears this
call over ,his radio, he knows a
fellow -airman is in an extremity of
danger„, is beyond helping himself,
and is winging forth a despairing
call for aid. The distress call
"Mayday" is from the French
"m'aidez" (help me).
* * *
I've heard the `~Mayday" call,
and a bone -chilling thing itis. I've
mingled with•ihundreds.of drunken
Russians, every one armed to the
teeth, on May Day, and don't, think
that isn't a stiff upper lip effort,
And I've even danced around a
Maypole,.which.proved a very' rug-
ged experience.
* *
It was when I was in public
school. Our history teacher, a dear,
dim, old, trout, thought it would
be nice to have a Maypole, to teach
us the significance of old traditions.
It started out fine but we felt so
silly jogging around the pole with
our ribbons that We started to
gallop and horse around, knocking
down the little girls, and finally
winding up in a heap on,the pebbly
school yard,- skinning our knees
badly.
* * *
But there's a fourth meaning to
(May Day. At least in this part of
the country there is. It combines
the excitement of the old English
one, the grim intensity of the
Russian one, and something of the
desperation- of-•th-e—airtn's call.
It's Opening Day of the 'trout
season.
• * *
Opening Day, for the true trout
fisherman, is what Closing Day is
to the school teacher, a release,
barely in time, from a cruet and
unnatural bondage.
* * *
At least it used to be. For the
trout fisherman, :Opening Day
marked the official advent of
spring. It held something of the
tremulous thrill of a maiden's first
kiss, the shuddering delight of an
alcoholic's first drink of the day,
and the feverish inner excitement
of the confirmed gambler, as he
picks up the dice for his first
throw.
* * *
Alas. It's gleam has been tarn-
ished by the maddening ' throng,
the aniateurs, who go fishing on
Opening Day because it's• the thing
to do. Like the women who don't
know a football from a footbatk
but must have a seat at the Grey
Cup Game.
* *
Out of the cities they pour, in
their thousands. The trout streant,
whose darkling pools once knew
the silent tread, the thoughtful
glance, the reverent cast, of The
dedicated trout fisherman, now has
all the appeal of a buffalo wallow
* * *
Up and down itsonce-chaste
banks, with all the stealth of a
Shriners' convention, lumbers the
so-called trout fisherman of today.
He smashes through underbrush,
splashes through shallows. He yoo-
hoos at his fellow "fishermen" and
they yoo-hoo back. He drinks beer
and breaks the bottles on the
rocks:' He- fabs in, then. lights a
roaring fire on the bank. He gives
to the stilly morning woods all the
charm of Coney Island on a Sunday
in July.
* * •
Each 'year the true trout fisher-
man, like the caribou and the
Eskimo, is__being driven further
north in his- desperate struggle to
.find a trout strewn unpolluted by
the presence of the Opening Day
exhibitionists. And each year,
when he finally finds one, and with
a silent word of thanks, makes hi&
,first delicate cast, .a voice from
over his shoulder croaks: "Hey,
buddy! Ya gotta bottle -opener?"

Agriculture in Huron needs a'
strong voice in the 'Legislature.
Charlie MacNaughton, who has
been directly associated with the
farming industry all his working
life, can speak for Huron farmers
with authority.
Here, in his qwn words, are the
PC candidate's views on the farm
economy:
"I firmly believe that the greatest
single problem confronting agri-
culture today is that of marketing.
I believe I am qualified to speak
, on this subject because marketing,
both domestic and export, is the
very essence of the business with
which 1 am associated.
"The Farm Products Marketing
Act, designed: by the Frost gov't
to allow farmers 'to organize their
own `self-help' program, has pro-
vided the authority to proceed
with measures designed to improve
the system of marketing farm
products. However, a, great deal
of work is yet to be clone before
we can safely say that we are
close to a solution to the many
problems which affect this phase
of the .farm economy.
.,, rtMN M10
"Practically everything the farmer
has to bilk is produced by organ-
ized labor. I endorse the right
of labor to 'bargain collectively
with management to determine the
'basis on which the working man
shall be remunerated but I fail
to see why the farmer should not
have a sitnirar collective voice in
determining the value of what he
produces.
