is, they had a paper route and
made a bit of spending money,
even in the depression years.
I was, closely associated with
a.paper route myself, although
I didn't exactly have one. My
kid brother did. I was sort of
his business manager or finan-
cial adviser.
Every Saturday night, after
he'd made his weekly collec-
tions, I would inveigle him into
the bathroom, lock the door so
nobody could hear, and give
him some sound business ad-
viCe.

money grow. He should give it
to me • and watch the interest
pile up. •
He'd bawl a bit; but then
he'd come,around after a bit of
arm -twisting, and see the point.
The point was that I was
stronger than he was.
I'd always let him keep part
of it, maybe twenty cents. I'd
• take. the other thirty cents and
invest it, I invested it in the
Saturday night movie, a .bottle
,of pop and a chocolate bari It
was a wise investment and paid
good dividends. The. many
movies 1 thus enjoyed enriched
my experience of the -human
condition, enlarged my
vocabulary, and added to my
personal. pleasure 'in life.
It took him about two years
tocatch on, two of the best
years of my life. There was of
course, a confrontation., He
swore I had connect him out of
at least gixty 'dollars. I scoffed
at this and told him it was only
about fourteen. But the little
devil' had been keeping his
books.
Last time I saw him, in Ger-
many last spring, he informed
me that with compound 'in-
terest, I now owed him $14,000
and if I didn't come up.with it,
he'd be interested in taking it
out of myrhide. I am still an
inch taller than he, but he out-
weighs me by forty pounds.
So we compromised. I told
him that if he paid all my ex-
penses on my trip, I'd dig up
the money somehow. He, did.
And thank goodness I haven't
seen him since.'
All' this has been brought to
mind by a recent development
• in the delivery of daily
newspapers. It is just another
sign. of our affluent age, when
even the kids have so much
money they don't have to work.
- For years, I've taken two
daily newspapers, morning and
evening, They take opposite
political stands, and both are
• so warped that if I take a stand
in the middle Of their polarized
points cif view, I am right in the
temperate zone, which I prefer.'
-At any rate, it seems that
these titans of the press cannot,
simply can not, secure young
carrier girls or boys to peddle
• their papers.
The morning paper has sim-
ply given -up. No delivery. The
evening paper has hired in-
dependent agents 'operating
their . own vehicles." This
means guys who drive • around
in their dim cars and hurl the
paper out the car window in
the general direction of .your
house.
In the gold old days of about
six weeks ago, I felt a little
tingle of warmth when the
ddor-belt rang. "Ah, the paper
boy," I would remark wittily.
And it was. The boy, or
sometimes girl, was faithful
and loyal, even in the foulest
Weather. I knew the country
was going to hell in a hearse,
but I felt that this was hum-
mock of decency and virtue in a
morass of miseries.
Now I feel a very strong
tingle, not of warmth, but of
rage, at paper -delivery time. It
is my. custom when I arrive
home after a hard day on the
assembly line at the pupil -
factory, to take off my jacket
And my shoes, and take on a

The final session for 104 of
West Wawanosh Township
Council was held on Tuesday
afternoon, December 17 ii the
office of the .Public Works
Building. All members atten-
ded, with Reeve Lyons
presiding.
The minutes of the regular
December meeting and ,a
special interview session were
read, and adopted on motion of
Councillors Foran and Ruther-
ford.
• A motion by Councillors
Foran and Durnin: "That
Witliam ShiMett, Engineer, of
the firm of Gamsby and Man=
,rierow, Guelph, be appointed to
make a survey, and prepare a
plan and report for the
drainage improvement and -
clean-out requested by Clare
Millian and others,"
The Dungannon Drain No. 2
was discussed after checking
tgures submitted by William
, hifflett, that raise the cost of
construction of the drain by
'22'I4%. The Clerk was instruc-
ted to contact Mr. Shifflett and
subsequently the owners in. the
drain, about a meeting to deter-
mine the feeling of the owners
in the drain as to whether, to
proceed with the w6ik or ,not.
A resolution from the Town-
ship of March regardiing
recycling of glass containers
was tabled.
A resolution from the County
of Grey regarding subsidizing
farm labonr waap discussed at
length. CoUncil 'Members felt
that while it was probably a
good idea for tobacco and fruit
farmers, it was not practical for
this particular farming ,area,
and the resolution was
therefore tabled.
By -Law No. 10, 1974 was
given third reading and finally
passed on motion, of Coun-
cillors Foran and Durnin. This
• is a by-law passed under The
Pounds Act, which prohibits
the • running -at -large of
animals„ other than 'dogs,
provides for the impounding of
• such animals, and sets out the
rates to be charged by the
poundkeepers.
Council • endorsed a
resolution from the Town of
Seaforth which takes exception
to the method the Ministry of,
• the Environment is taking to
deal with waste disposal in On-
• tario. The Clerk was instructed
to write the Minister of the En=
vironment to indicate its sup-
port of the resolution.
Mr. Ian Deslauriers, Resour-
ces Manager for Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority
attended and spoke to Council
• about .a piece of land in West
Wawanosh on which the
Authority haa, an option to pur-
chase and on which the Lana
• Speculation Tax is going_ to apt.
ply to the present owner.
, By -Law No. 11, 1974 Was
given third reading and finally
,Passed on motion of Coun-
,cillors Rutherford and Hickey.

cold b6r before proceeding to
peruse my paper.
This entire routine has been
spoiled, not to say desecrated,
by the new delivery method. I
still go through the first parts
of the procedure, but the beer
tastes flat as I stew around,
waiting for the paper'. It arrives
any time between four and
severt,That means I have put
back on my shoes and gone out
in my shirt -sleeves in ,the win-
ter to search around the
snow for my paper as many as
four times.
This is not conducive to
lowering a man's blood
pressure. At leagt they put the
•thing in a plastic bag. But this
is covered in three minutes
• when it's snowing, which it
always seems to be when I go
out to look for my paper.,
To add insult to injury, I
• receive a letter from the cir-
culation department of the big,
fat, rich, lousy neWspapeill
telling me that the price is
going•up and that "We feel this
is a reasonable price to pay for
dependable delivery to your
driveway six days a week."
Well, let me just say to the
circulation manager that I
don't want he paper, delivered
to my,, driveway,, but to my
house. My car can't read.
And let me add that the ser-
vice is not dependa6le, in its
present Ondition; And let me
further add that if you can't do
better than that, I will shortly
'tell you what you can do with
your dewspaper. Sideways.
. This is a dyed appeal to all
parents. Please cut off your
children's allowances, so that
at least some of them:will be
available to Odd', papers M
,the old way. This is a cry from
the heart. Civilization is
sinking. Must this last vestige
of normalcy go down with it?
Wants year
round racing
MY HOOES
I hope that in the year 1975
that we could have all -year
around horse racing in
Goderich. My reason for this is
that it wOuld be something to
do on those boring Sundays or
what ever day we could have
therri. -This could help raise
money to built another arena
and another one would help
our 'town.
I hope that in the 'year 1975
that our world will be in peace.
My reason for this' ° is that so
many people would not have to
suffer because of the death of
there loved ones.
I also hope in the year 1975
that inflation in our Country
Would go down. My reason for
this is because many people in
our country can't afford in
price of living in our country
today.
