THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1960 A Free Library No! While we are a bit vague on the details of the new imposed "FREE" library scheme in Huron County, the idea will not receive any support from this newspaper, unless we can have someone prove to us we are wrong in our way of thinking. From the limited amount of information we have on hand, it has been pointed out to us that there will be no fees for member- ship in the new plan, but instead an assessment of $1.25 per capita population in the County is to be levied to offset the expenses. Does this seem like a fair approach? Why should some family, of say 12 people, be assessed about $15 per year for the reading pleasure of someone else. True, if the family were all big readers, the fee would not seem out of line, but, on the other hand, if none of the family reads books, the amount would seem ridiculous. As we said before, if we are mistaken in our information, we stand to be corrected, but if this $1.25 per capita assessment is the way the library will be financed, we are definitely opposed. If people wish to do considerable reading, they should be prepared to pay for it accordingly. You pay to read your news- papers and magazines, so why not pay to read books as well. Granted, a free library throughout the County would be a wonder- ful thing, but not at the direct expense of the entire population. We understand that Huron is the first County in Ontario where this new scheme is being tried out. Sometimes we think Huron County is attempting to live beyond it's means, as it is definitely one of the highest spending counties in the province. As one of the township councillors said at a recent meeting, "It is time the members of County Council put a stop to this extravagant spend- ing at the county level," we are inclined to agree with him. If you don't agree, look at the county rate on your tax notice which you received recently, and then base your own opinion.

Hemmingway Urges Active Discussions At Meetings; Questions Brings Out Facts BY J. CARL HEMINGWAY Writing this article this week poses quite a problem. I could give you a report of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture annual meeting, I could report on the or- ganization of "FAME" (Farmers' Allied Meat Enterprises) or I could give you the resolutions ap- proved by the zone meeting of the Huron -Perth Cream Producers. Instead of reporting what you have probably already read or heard, I prefer to comment. The OFA annual has two defin- ite purposes, as I see it. There is vital information to be given out. In the past this was done by hav- ing speakers address the gathering but recently and particularly this year panel discussions were used with ample time for questions. Speakers always have to decide what to say and what not to say since it is impossible to tell all, that is to be told on any topic. Maybe they missed telling what you wanted to know. The ques- tion period gives the opportunity to get the answer. Then there must be action if there are to be results. We gain this through instructions given in resolutions, By the means of re- solutions anyone .with an idea can have it presented, discussed, and if good, approved. There seems to be a prevalent idea that resolutions just take a Tot of time and only provide op- portunity for political aspirants to display their wares, but this is not true. On more than one occasion a resolution has resulted in govern- ment action in a very short time. Just remember that a good idea will get quick application if you let it be known. It was to work on resolutions that the Cream Producers held their meeting on November '3. I think they cam up with good sug- gestions and you will be hearing about them from the Ontario an- nual on November I5. I haven't space available to tell you about' `Fame" but I would like to suggest that you get all the in- formation you can. You have al- ready received on phamplet in the mail. Read it. I have been told there was a meeting of farmers since this time and from the quest- ions and discussion it was quite apparent that none of them had actually read the literature with any degree of care. Even after reading there will be questions but they will be in- telligent questions. You will be receiving two more pieces of in- formation during the next two weeks. Take time out to read and and understand, then you can de- cide wisely. We know that farm conditions have alternated between "fair" and "poor" in recent years. If you do nothing about it they will do the same in years to come. - o Hockey Schedule Double headers will be held each evening with Pee Wee and Juven- ile teams playing, Pee Wee games start at 7:00 p.m. and Juvenile at 8:00 p.m. All Zurich home games at Hensall Arena.

(BILL) It mademy blood boil to see Toronto critics picking on Marlene Dietrich when that lovely creature graced Hog -town recently with her theatrical presence, They made the brilliant discovery that Marlene. can't sing, and annoyed her with puerile questions about being a grandmother, Of course she can't sing, and - never could. But she can make the skin crawl on the back of your neck with that husky snarl. And, grandmother or not, there is more sex appeal in one long look from above those haunting cheekbones, one twist of that heart -broken smile, than in all your strutting, hip -wiggling pouter pigeons of half her age. Perhaps I'm a little warped on the subject of Miss Dietrich. She was the first woman in my life, the first member of the opposite sex who made me realize there was more than one sex. I was ten year old at the time. Don't tell me you can't fall in love at ten. Perhaps that is the. only age at which your love is completely selfless, utterly pure and absolutely undemanding. I didn't even expect her to marry me. 1 knew she wouldn't marry any ten -year-old kid. All I wanted to do was think about her, and nurse my pain to myself. *It happened at a movie. I was a young devil for going to matin- ees. In those days they had them twice a week, after school, as well as the usual Saturday show. I had been threatened with ev- erything from the children's aid to the reformatory; I had been licked several times; nay mother had giv- en personal orders to the theatre manager that I was not to be al- lowed in, and still I went to the matinee every time I could find. enough bottles to raise the price. I'd arrive home about 6.40 p.m., my inner glow from the movie a buttress against the outer glow I would have shortly on my butt. At any rate, I fell for Dietrich in a movie called Morocco, about the Foreign Legion, in which she appeared with Gary Cooper. I didn't realize it at the time, but Miss Dietrich had the role of a woman of ill repute. I thought she worked in this bar, maybe as B. T. SMILEY) a singer or something. She sang, in that whiskey tenor of hers, and I was enchanted. She smiled, that rueful, knowing smile, and I turned to molasses. She winked, that naughty wink, and I twisted my hads until my fingers cracked. She smoked, with that mysterious elegance, and my heart leaped painfully within me. I thought I would burst with pride and devotion when the pic- ture ended with her forsaking her job at the casino to follow Gary into the desert. The last shot showed her, barefoot in the sand, dragging a goat as she struck off after the Legion, with the other woman camp -followers. I can't des- cribe the gallantry with which she threw back her hair and gave a splendid brave smile as the desert wind struck in her face. Nor can I convey the misery with which I realized she thought so much of that big jerk, Cooper. * : * For about three months, I was literally sick with love. My mother thought I had some dis- ease, because I wouldn't eat. She was convinced of it when I stopped going to matinees. How can a boy of 10 tell his mother he is deperately in love with a movie actress? Oh, I had a good may affairs after that. There was a neighbor girl who used to catch me and kiss me heartily every time we played Run, Sheep, Run. That ended when she pushed me ou of a hay- mow one day, just for fun, and I broke my ankle. Then there was a brief episode with the French tea- cher when I was in high school. This came to a climax when I kissed her up in an apple tree, one gladsome clay in spring. I thought I'd never get out of that apple tree. And there was a Brazilian girl I met at college. She couldn't speak any English. By the time I'd taught her the language and she could say "park bench" and `,kiss me, daddy" with the best of them, I'd missed so many lectures I hadn't a hope of passing my year, so I patriotically joined the air force. * * * There were lots of girls after (Continued on page 3) Business and Professional Directory AUCTIONEERS ALVIN WALPER PROVINCIAL LICENSED AUCTIONEER For your sale, large or small, courteous and efficient service a t all times.
