Mr. Matthews resides in Wingham with his wife. His taste in music (in order of preference.) includes: jazz, folk, classical and rock. Mr. Matthews studied at Queen's University in Kings- ton, where he received his Bachelor of Music degree and also at the Faculty off Education in Kingston where he earned his Bachelor of Education degree. He has played in many bands, in- cluding The Queen's Sym- phony, The Wind Ensemble and the clarinet choir, which are all in Kingston; and he was a 'substitute in the Kingston Symphony. • He was in the choral en- semble in Kingston and has directed The Frontenac Country Summer Music Day -Camp, also in -Kingston. He played in the Mohawk Col- lege Stage Band in Hamilton. Last year Mr. Matthews taught at the Lindsay Colleg- iate and Vocational Institute in Lindsay, Ontario. Mr, Matthews would like to see Madill win the Canad- ian anadian Music Festival for stage band, concert band and choir this year. His goals for each student are, after four years in music, to be able to get into any university in Ontario, to be able to write small pop tunes and to have an apprec- iation for art music (classical) . " Mr. Matthews says he is very impressed with a com- munity and school like ours which can get a music pro- gram going within the school while so many others are closing their programs down. He would like to con- vey a sincere thank -you to all the service clubs who dona- ted so much to our new music program. Welcome to Madill, Mr. Matthews! -Julie Stewart St. John Ambulance says it's a good idea to equip your ear for winter driving with more than snow tires. and mechanical fitness. Carry sand, a small shovel and a blanket or sleeping bag. Keep a flashlight and a couple of chocolate bars in the glove compartment. i 111 irr Who will protect us? I watched the news last night. There were two stories that particularly caught my interest. Although they were different stories, dealing with different people and events, they were also similar in a number of ways: both stories took place partly at the table, but mostly out- side; both dealt with a con- flict (one group wanted something the other was not willing to give); both were unnecessary conflicts which accomplished virtually no- thing, and both continuebto do so. Both stories were about strikes. I don't know how the rest of you feel, but I am one Can- adian citizen who is tired of hearing about some union exercising . its "right to strike", , Canada is a wonderful country because it allows us to have such rights. A person can come here to live and work and make a decent liv- ing, Compared to most na- tions we are very fortunate. But we also have high unem- ployment. Now why is it that a nation KYLE CRONIN.(34) found little running room after taking the hand-off from quarter- back Bevin Flett. One Listowel tackler grabbed him from behind while another hit him from the front. However the Wingham junior football Mustangs eventually prevailed 8-0 in the tough, defensive battle, Flett taking the ball over with, two seconds left in the game. of such great resourceful- ness and opportunity has people who cannot find work, while at the same time it harbors people who refuse to work? Management is not allowed to hire anyone else until a settlement is reached. And ' a settlement won't be reached unless the workers are guaranteed job security and a pension plan. This i€ their right and it .protects. them. Meanwhile several others with the right to work are un- able to do so and are protec- ted by UIC and welfare. Eventually we pay for- both groups. When unions were first established they were designed to: obtain better working conditions, which were often otherwise 'filthy and hazardous ; obtain wages sufficient to put.food on the table protect the worker from management, which was often liable to fire anyone at any time. These days, it's rather dif- ficult to find a worker with such needs as these. One of the men who was interview- ed last night said he didn't Interview with a new teacher I had the opportunity to interview one of our new teachers, who happens to be my typing teacher. Her name is Miss Beutler, for- merly from Windsor where she was raised with two brothers and one sister. She is now living in Wingham. Her schooling, consisted of Walkerville High School in Windsor, then on to the Uni- versity of Western Ontario in London for four long years. After her third year in uni- versity She had a degree in Off ice'Management' studies. This interested her in becoming a commercial teacher at the high school level. She teaches Grade 9 typing and. Grade 10 data processing at F.E., Madill. I asked her what her impressions were of Madill. She replied, that Madill seems to 'be more like a big family closely knit together, and these thoughts reminded her of her high school. I hope Miss. Beutler stays on our teaching staff for many years to come: • -Stephen Tiffin gE -TOUCHDOWN?--WELL; . A MOST ---i he . ATa61711 Junior - Mustangs apparently took the lead over Listowel on this touchdown early in the second half, with Kevin De Jong going over for the score. However the play was called back for holding and the Mustangs failed on their se Gond attempt. Madill finally broke a scoreless tie when quarterback Bevin Flett scored with two seconds left to give Wingham an 8-0 victory and send the team into a semi-final showdown with Stratford Central this Thurs- dayat2pm mind being on strike. "My wife works", he said, "and I can afford to be out of work for a few weeks-" In my opinion, anyone who can af- ford to be out off work does not need to be on strike. However a number of workers have been quoted as saying they want to get back to work and they're tired of striking. But if they go against the union they often still can't get a job, because it's becoming increasingly difficult to work without joining a union. Manage- ment is forced to hire union- ized workers, and those who cross picket lines are black- listed by union officials for not conforming to the rest of the group. Meanwhile we still have unemployment, an increas- ing cost of living and a ,low level of production. Our own companies must contend with . strike action, and foreign companies won't build here because our workers charge too much. This makes it tougher on those of us who are willing to work without a secure agrlee- ment, and it costs the tax- payer more. At one time, unions protec- ted workers. Now, who's going to protect us from the unions? -Thomas Bailey Deb's Web Maud is gone forever. In her place is an inspiring, hard-working, intelligent and good-looking journalist, named Deb. Any new tidbits, school happenings and, as a last resort, gossip (I don't usually gossip but if I must, I must. I would do anything to ensure that you get all the dirt going around the school) would be greatly apprecia- ted. I happened to hear from a close personal friend that Mrs. MacDonald celebrated her birthday last week. My close personal friend could not, however, find an age for me to report to you. One might say , that Mrs. MacDonald could be com- pared to cheese. She gets better with age - only minus the mould. I suppose I might say that the Blue Jays blew it. I would also like to congratulate the Jays on doing as well as they did. I don't mean any disre- spect to the Jay's defeat, but do you think you could mark our tests now that the series is over, Teachers? Those Madill teams are mighty tough. The football team is so tough that Rambo and Arnold Schwarzetiegger were turned down as quarterbacks. How about those basketball teams? The girls massacred St. Marys. The juniors, with only six. members, had St. Marys begging for mercy. Did the girls finally come into their own, and show their super- iority? Or was St. Marys worse than our girls? Don't even think such a thing, or "Scoob" will hit you. Well 1 , must go. Have a good weekend and come back safe, so you4 can read my column again. Three issues of Canada Savings Bonds - Series 28, Series 31 and Series 33 - come due this year, worth more than $3.3 billion in principal. If you own any of these bonds, you will want to cash them in. After Nov. 1, 1985, they do not earn any further interest. �[RriliolRII: TIRE FOLLOW THE COMET Courts sy Canadian Tire HALLEY'S COMET When can I see It? From North America (and elsewhere at mid -northern latitudes), here's how Halley's comet will look: Pre-Auguat, 1985 - Still far away, Comet Halley is extremely faint. The world's largest telescopes will photograph it as a vague smudge of light. August -September, 1985 - By now the 'comet is just bright. enough for experienced amateur astronomers with large tele- scopes to find it. October, 1985 - Late this month, when moonlight is no longer a problem., the comet should be widely spotted by those look- ing with small telescopes. November, 1985 - Growing steadily brighter, Halley can now • be seen in binoculars. It will be in the eastern 'sky just after darkness. On Nov. 15 and 16, it passes just south of the Pleiades. December, 1985 - Halley becomes barely visible to the nak- ed eye under ideal (very dark) conditions. Binoculars give a better view. The cornet is high in the southern part of the sky. January, 1986 - The comet brightens slowly, but each night after dusk it is lower in the western sky. By the 25th it sets before dark. February, 1986 - Halley can't be seen most of this month. But during the last week in February it reappears in the morn- ing twilight sky in the east. March, 1986 - The view gets 'better. Near the end of the month, and just before morning twilight begins, Halley sports an excellent long tail in the southeastern sky. AprII, 1986 - Hailey is at its best! Toward the end of the first week of April, as moonlight ceases to be a problem, the comet will appear. at its brightest. Unfortunately, It's very low in the southern sky before dawn and descending rapidly toward the horizon. May, 1986, and after - Halley departs into deep space once again. High in the night sky, it pan be followed with binoculars through Way and with telescopes until early August. No one will set eyes on.the comet again until around 2061.
