But there are occasions when the editors of the "little" papers step into the realm of the daily. Such an occasion was last November when the whole world was horrified and saddened by the hideous assasination of President John F. Kennedy of the United States. Nearly every paper in the country, from the largest to the smallest. paid trib- ute to one of the finest statesmen this world will ever know. This October is another such occasion. The world lapsed into stunned silence last week when the announcement was made that Premier Nikita Krushchev of the Soviet Union had been ousted in favor of a younger man, Alexei Kosygin. Global breathing ceased momentarily as a sudden- ly sober civilization awaited offical confir- mation from the Kremlin. When it came the reaction of the entire universe could be summed up in two tiny words, "OH NO". It is strange that •one man, though a member of the hated Communist Party, could have become so endeared to millions of frightened people. But Nikita Krushchev commanded the respect of the world be- cause he represented hope. Power-hun- gry, a dangerous threat, a man of mystery perhaps but also a sensible statesman who recognized the deadly reprecussions that would be felt in the event of a nuclear war. Krushchev was as reluctant as you or• I to press the button which could destroy a planet. Now, we do not feel quite so safe. This new Moscow administration has pledg- ed to continue with the same foreign policy as Krushchev maintained, but that is still unproven. Empty words from the Com munist twisted tong to hold little reassur- ance for us. We are beset with an inde- scrible gnawing in the pits of our unsettled stomachs. We are uneasy to say the least. Almost simultaneously with the resig- nation of Krushchev came the first Chinese Communist bomb test. We are assured by the experts that fall out from the blast will be negligable and that no real global threat is imminent, But how long will it take? Five years? Ten? Fifteen? It is possibe that China could strike merely a match and someone else's powder keg would explode. Krushchev stayed an arms length from Chinese Communism. It is possible that the new premier of the USSR will make moves to cement relations with the wreckless, ir- responsible Chinese. We are justifiably ill at ease. Let us pray. Subject: Dragging -- Final Mark: Trouble The drop of a flag, the screech of a tire and they're off. Familiar sights and sounds to the drag strip student but like all good things it must come to an end. Adult -minded young- sters realize that dragging must begin and end on a licensed quarter mile within the confines of a dragway. But there are al- ways the childish few who are immature enough to believe that the fundamentals of the course, once learned, can be put to use for real excitement on a public high - w ay. Here is a equation for you high school "drag addicts". What do you get if you have an adolescent nut plus a swelled head over the wheel of a high-powered car times too much gas divided by too little brains subtracted from no thought for the other fellow? The answer: a torso minus arms and legs over a blood -spattered dashboard plus a grieving set of parents times several funeral wreaths divided by a marble head- stone. Of course, as in all mathematics, there is a way to prove the accuracy of your answer. Take the morbid statistics plus a police day -book minus cautious drivers times freak accidents over several years divided by countless lives and you get the saYne answer, to the nearest ten -thousandth. Now here's a chemistry experiment for you kids aspiring to a university degree. Put one smug inexperienced driver in a fast car and add one moment of careless- ness. Heat until you see the smoke rising from a burning wreck. Pour out into an ambulance, transfer to a hospital and wait until cooled on an operating table. Ob- serve the stainless steel pin in the hip that loved to dance. See the •crippled body of a once supple youth. Notice the wheel- chair in which he'll spend his life. Con- cluded that one night of thrills was ex- changed for a lifetime of painful regret and miserable existance. Dragging and racing have not place in the curriculum of students enrolled in the study of life. If you want to take the other subjects — marriage, children, financial success, old age, don't waste the activity period of your teen years on a course that could blot out your future. This Problem Is Forty Years Old Much is written and spoken these days about the fast pace of modern living. Every- one expresses the fear that the constant pressure and tension of this wicked world will produce a generation of spineless neur- otics, complete with dillusions and frus- trations. Recently, we came across an article written in 1924. It seems the citizens of that era were just as concerned about the welfare of their children as we in this so- called "Jet Age". We thought you might be interested in the philosophy of Dr. Park J. White 40 years ago. Ten Commandments to Parents 1. Be sure that the child is in good physical condition. Nervousness should be the last diagnosis made. 2. Never let the child hear you or anyone else speak about him. 3. Make few requests and have them obey- ed instead of many requests that are not followed up. 4. Remember that a child always knows more than the proudest parent thinks he does. Keep him occupied. 5. If you must worry about your child, don't let him see it. He looks to you for strength, not weakness. 6. Never say, "Boys will be boys". It cov- ers too many sins. 7. Never hire anyone to do the actual bring- ing up of your child. Try to fit your self for the task. 8. Enter into your child's fun just as much as into his discipline. Otherwise, you will scarcely know each other. 9. Know all about your child's teachers and his friends without seeming to interfere. 10. At the proper time, talk to your chil- dren—father to son, mother to daughter —of sex, as naturally as you would of digestion.

The housewives of Canada are to receive a rare treat this year. Prime Minister Pearson has announced that a new cook book will be pub- lished soon in conjunction with an anniversary of the United Nations. In it will be recipes from all over the world, gleaned from the files of the foremost cooks in the universe. Just what this will Mean to Mrs. Average Housewife is not too clear. But one thing is •cer- tain. If this weapon should fall into the hands of public enemy number one, Mr. Average Hus- band, the results could be dis- asterous. Men, as you realize, are a strange species. The workings of their minds cannot be easily explained. Only •a man has enough gaul to suggest that his mother was a mastermind chef. on comparison with his wife. None but a male will allow 15 dollars for food each week and expect gourmet specialties three times a day for 52 weeks of the year. Husbands are the only sect known to humanity that hate casseroles and new con- coctions and still demand var- iety in their meat and potatoes. They are the only group in the world who eat heartily and praise loudly the fare of a host- ess when out to a dinner party and then, when their dearly be- loveds set the same meal before then in their own kitchen, pick through it with a sickening look and say they'll have a sand- wich. You •can imagine then what twisted thoughts would go through minds like these if men should gain access to this United Nations cook book. Somehow, a man can read any recipe and sense a new excite- ment in his mashed potatoes. in short, a man expects any recipe to turn out roast beef the same as you served last night only different. One can just not imagine, what high expectations would result nor how great the disappointment when the impossible task was not fulfilled. About the only thing that would cure a bout of this "Food Fever" would be to completely ruin the pot roast and tell hub- by there must have' been a mis- print in the recipe. If that ex- cuse doesn't satisfy his over- active tastebuds, a last resort alternative would be to invite hint to try the recipe himself. After you have wiped the gravy from the ceiling and the tomato sauce from the floor, he may admit that the charred hunk of leather on the meat platter is not as succulent as he had hoped. Once again you will be named culinary queen of the kitchen with the thankless job of serving plain food with a flourish. 50 Years Ago OCTOBER, 1914 Big bargain—A few lines of wash goods to be cleared at 5c a yard. Regularly 25c. Produce taken in exchange. Auction sales will be held on the farms of Mrs. William Schatz, Dashwood; L. McDonald and E. Allen, Stephen Thwnr ship, and Louis Kraft, Stephen. Messrs. W. 0. Robinson, J. A. Surerus and R. M.

Thursday is the vote on the liquor plebiscite in Ontario and it is everybody's duty to honor their franchise by first consid- ering how to vote and then vot ing to the best interests of all concerned. Most of those who can't find time to vote will find time to criticize the result of the plebiscite. It is marvelous how things increase in size. One bottle of liquor often be - cones a whole "case"—in police court. 25 YEARS AGO OCTOBER, 1939 At a public meeting at Hen- sall, October 12. a branch of the Red Cross Cociety was formed for Hensall and district. The home of Mr. and Mrs. William Rader, Zurich, was the scene of a lovely wedding when their only daughter, Lylyan, was united in marriage to Victor Dinnin, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. Dinnin, of Cromarty. Rev. E. Turkheim officiated. Modern Etiquette—Should a man hand his coat to a woman to hold while he dons it? He might be privileged to do so if one arm is paralyzed or he is suffering from rheumatism. Otherwise it would be a very presumptuous gesture. 15 YEARS AGO OCTOBER, 1949 The members of the local Lions Club . are entertaining their wives, the "Lionesses" to the annual Ladies' Night this Wednesday evening, which is being held at the Cobblestone Inn ..at Springbank Park, Lon- don. Special entertainers have been engaged. Good progress is being made on the new arena and commun- ity hall. Surely this generation can leave something behind to show that we lived for more -OF- YEARS GONE -BY- than just self. Misses Marilyn Haberer and Katherine Kalbfleisch favored with piano duets at the Women's Missionary Society of St. Peter's Lutheran Church informal sup- per held at Johnston's dining room. Now playing at the Aldson Theatre, Grand Bend, "Riders of the Whistling Pines", star- ring Gene Autry and Champion. 10 YEARS AGO OCTOBER, 1954 Queen Mother Elizabeth ar- rives in North America October 26 and will arrive in Ottawa, Canada, on November 12, 1954. Mr. Harry G. Hess, of Zurich, accompanied by Councillor L. H. Rader, of Dashwood, attend- ed the Independent Telephone convention held at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto. Rev.

Three hundred Lions from 32 clubs in the district gathered in the Community Centre here for the annual Zone Rally. Lion. John Stickley, North Carolina, second vice president of Inter- national Lions, was the guest speaker. 0 Kippen News Television Views by William Whiting Last Sunday evening the CTV News, a two-man team effort, was not evenly divided. Larry Henderson did 90 per cent of the reporting, while Ab Doug- las read an item or two, but generally just sat waiting for the 15 minutes to end. It fin- ally did, and let's hope CTV gives Douglas an even break. He may go to ABC in New York, too, and who could blame him. s: * James Beard, the cooking ex- pert, will again tape shows in the CKCO-TV studios. He's vis- iting major TV centres through- out Canada. :G ..* ge Too bad the World Series lasted seven games. Four games with broadcasters using terrible English and poor enunciating was too much. The broadcast- ing industry should use only qualified professional voices. Sport figures should be used only for interviews. They are not announcers and should keep away from microphones. * ,: * CBC's "Festival" returns Oc- tober 28 with a 60 -minute con- cert featuring Sviatoslav Rich- ter, the great Russian pianist. * * A: U.S. politicians were not im- pressed with the hatings at con- vention time. Here are three ways to improve them in 1968: Anniversary services Sunday at St. Andrew's United Church were well attended. Many vis- itors were present at both serv- ices and a perfect day greeted all. Rev. A. Higginbottom, of Walton, was the guest speaker for the day. Miss Elizabeth Smale, of Seaforth, was guest soloist at the morning service and Mr. Eric Ross favored as guest soloist at the evening service. Special music was ren- dered by the choir under the leadership of Miss Jean Ivison. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Pearson, Barbara, Debbie and Brenda, of Toronto, spent Thanksgiving week -end with Mr. and Mrs. Jack Consitt and family. Mr. and Mrs. Jake Ortman, of Moose Jaw, Sask., have been visiting .a week with former neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Robinson and family. They re- turned home by plane on Sat- urday. Mrs. Hazel Blake and daugh- ter Roxy, of London, were week- end guests with Mr. and Mrs. Vivan Cooper and family. We welcome Mr. and • Mrs. Eldin Kerr to the village since moving into their home at Kip - pen. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Camp- bell and daughter Cheryl, of near Seaforth, visited Sunday with their aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Eldin Kerr. Junior Farmers Celebrate 50th: At Seaforth The Huron County Junior Farmers will celebrate the 50th. anniversary of junior farmers in Ontario at a banquet and dance to be held in the Legion Hall at Seaforth, on Friday, November 6.

Bennett, assist deputy minister of Agriculture for On- tario, and formerly agricultural representative for Huron Coun- ty, will be guest speaker at they banquet. A special invitation is ex- tended to all by the Huron juniors to attend this impor- tant event. A limited supply of tickets may be purchased fol the banquet and dance from any Huron County Junior Farmer member. Ontario Junior Farmers have appropriately chosen as their 50th anniversary theme, "Pride in the Past, Progress in the Present, Forward in the Fu- ture". Eliminate demonstrations; elim- inate the boring seconding speeches, and stop having the former political greats -appear ing on the rostrum. clwcijs FINE FOODS SERVED IN OUR MODERN DINING ROOM ENJOY THE FINE ATMOSPHERE OF OUR ATTRACTIVE ALPINE ROOM Our Entire Hotel is Equipped with "Hi-Fi" System for your Listening Pleasure WE SPECIALIZE IN STEAKS - CHICKEN - FISH Dominion Hotel PHONE 70 — ZURICH Business and Professional Directory OPTOMETRY J.
