The Goderich Signal-Star, 1975-12-04, Page 5• Mr. 4 tv Lmnpys naughty story BY DAVE SYKES Chairman Repeat had called the usual , monthly meeting of hes eight trusty workers on the Wrecked Board. The workers liked to come as the meetings were always very nice. •They were • gc3nerally the same but Mr. Lumpy always h d an interesting story about 'how well the kiddies played at his rink and the wrecked director Diamond Mike usually had two nice stories and'such a pleasant voice when he read. Mr. Mike read:stories about how he thought upames for the kiddies to'pl-ay and although the stories were the same, he was nice to listen to: But when the, stories were finished the wrecked members sometimes gaye money to children to buy games or decided 'which nice boy could work at Mr. Lumpy'§ rink. However, this night -10r, Lumpywasn't very happy and his story told how I)oc Jas was messy in his clean rink. He said that Doc Jas., also a wrecked member, seemed :to think that the seats were washed so he wouldn't get his shoes dirty and that he was nota very good example for the other kiddies. All the wrecked members were shocked. Mr. Lumpy always wrote such nice stories. But this! The members looked at one another and even wrecked member Mrs. Crewcutustopped drawing pretty flowers on her agenda and looked . up. Doc Jas was not happy either. He liked to play 'at Mr. Lumpy's rink with the other kids but his feelings were hurt. He immediately stood up and said that h.e was taking his toys and'going home, and as he left in a huff the glass on Mr. Mike's door' broke all up. It seemed that the Doc was bigger, than most kids and ;h. to'better serve you ---- NOW THERE ARE E. J.

And so the stories were sent along to those who were interested in reading it. But -one lady, Mrs. Elsa Parkland, was:',_ not at' all pleased with the story.

It is not true that' Huron County actually pays its teachers "the salaries , and - other. benefitsfor which the Metro teachers are now asking" Mr. Dunlop cited this example: A , category 4 ',teacher in Huron with 10 years' experience (top of the scale) is paid $21,900. The Metro Toronto board has .offered $22,969 in the same category with' •equalex- perience: the Metro Toronto "'i teachers are asking $25,863'. "The Metro board ' has offered the teachers con- siderably above what we're paying here," Mr, • Dunlop told, the Signal -Star. telephone interview Tuesday afternoon. However, this newspaper 'does agree with Mrs. Haydon that taxpayers in,Huron have been negligent in showing ' interest for board of education bu'§iness, and certainly should be,"inviting the board to more complete and ' continuous openness in all matters in which they work on our behalf". :..AT BEST BUY PRICES LEAN SLICED BACON LB 51.49 LEAN—SWEET PICKLE COTTAGE ROLLS LB. $ 1.49 BUTT—SHO.

So -she wrote a letter .,for the November 25 meeting but some .of the things she said were just not nice at all. Mrs. Parkland said in the letter to Chairman Repeat that when he stroked • out things in a story it was censorship and that Mr. Lumpy had the freedom to write whatever he wanted in -a -story. She said that Chairman Repeat was playing boss with someone else's freedom of expression. So the'1etter was sent to the Wrecked Board in -time for their meeting. Surely it would cause some excitement. Wrecked director, Diamond Mike opened the meeting'with the usual salutations to all the wrecked members. When it came.time to read the letters Some people send tt3 the wrecked board, Mr. Mike announced that Mrs. Parkland had sent a long'Tetter to the board. All the members giggled and laughed and thought it was very humorous that Mrs. Parkland would 'w'rite to 'them. 'It was such a joke. Then the golden throated director began to read her letter but no one paid any attention. No one wanted to hear what she had to:say. But Director Mike read on and some ▪ members talked among themselve's and joked, as the thought of Mrs. Pacjklara4 conjured up. humorous visions. As the other members talked and joked among themselves, Mrs. C,r-e°wcut dr,,ew some more pretty pictures of flowers on her report and wrecked member Oscar Meyers gave an unusual demonstration of manual dexterity as he purposely tried to remove candies from' a package without success, but with'rnuch noise. Big n., who was also a wrecked member and attended the big meetings with Allen Bob and Doc Jas, came in half -- way through the letter and read it over after. Chairman Repeat then asked that the letter be, received and filed and all the members agreed. And so Chairman Repeat and his eight trusty workers, Mrs. Don Nelly, Fred Map John Boy along with Allen Bob, Big D,'' car Meyers, Mrs. crewcut and Doc Jas ignored a citizens expression and enjoyed more nice stories from Mr. Lumpy and,Diamond Mike and munched lustily on their Christmas candies. in the marketbra car ? • d • HERE'S ANOTHER • 1972 OLDS.
