And Then There Were Four
There were no fairy tales told by the
candidates for school board from the Town-
ship of Hay, There was no time or desire
to play petty politics or pussyfoot around
the issues. Cold, hard facts replaced the
usual election banter and bare truth took
the place of convenient exaggerations and
omissions.
A rather shocked gathering at Hay
Township voters' meeting heard that edu-
cation costs are high—and they are going
to remain high—and get even higher.
They heard that children are not receiving
the best education possible and that there
is no reason why they should not, They
heard that school student transportation
is not something that can be avoided — it
is here—and will stay here, They heard
that the calibre of the school teachers is
not good enough—that more qualified
teachers must be sought and paid accord.
ingly. They heard that special classes for
`exceptional' children must be considered,
can be included in Hay Township's educa-
tional system and will be expected very
soon.
The assembly there learned that the
fivev candidates were not taking up vital
time in fault finding with the department
of education, It was quickly sensed that
all candidates were convinced that educa-
tion of the young is not anything to be
taken lightly, nor is it something that re-
quires no change. The candidates agreed
to a man that the time is ripe for ratepay-
ers to accept the •challenge—not looking
back with a nostalgic sentiment that breeds
lazy thinking and slow movement—but
with an eye to the future that fathers keen
perception of the urgent needs and decis-
ive action today.
Only four of the five will be chosen
to represent Hay Township on the School
Area Board that will include two members
.from Hensall and one member from Zurich.
Voters in Hay should be proud that men
of this quality are willing to accept all the
headaches that accompany nomination,

From My Window
By Shirley Keller
Amid the squeeky voices of
Simeon, Theodore and Alvin, the
loud HO, 130, I10 of Santa Clans
and the incessant chatter of
anxious c h i l d r e n, we hear
"Nineteen more shopping days
until Christmas". Frankly, it
makes me sick.
Christmas should be a ,joyous
time of the year. Instead, it is
the season when some irrespon-
sible St. Nicholas makes either
liars or paupers out of parents.
I think this Santa Claus bit
is going just a little too far.
The be -whiskered elf from the
North Pole appears an televis-
ion late in November. He holds
the kids spell -bound with his
yarns about making toys and
filling orders. Each day he
gives a progress report 'on the
manufacturer of electric trains
and the holdups in the doll de-
partment.
He warns little innocents that
they will .have to be very, very
goad or Santa will not grant
their every wish. So what hap.
pens if the kid knocks himself
out to be a model child and
still doesn't get his expected
quota on Christmas morning.
Who gets the blame? You
guessed it. Moira and Dad.
"You didn't leave the porch
lights on," the child scrames.
"You forgot to leave cookies
and milk for the reindeer. You
plugged the chimney."
Ever try to explain to a child
that the Santa on television is
just working, the same as Dad-
dy? Ever try to reason with
the child that 'Ir. Claus can't
possibly give everything to
every boy and girl?
"Yes, he can, mummy," says
the wide-eyed victim of elf-
landitis, "John Brown asked
for alotta stuff last year and
Santa brung it all. He's got
lotssa money and he likes to
give it away. Don't worry,

mommy, You don't have to buy
it for me."
Then to top it all off, Santa
comes charging into town with
a bag full of cantly and some
coloring books Even though
tiny tots are stricken with panic
and older kids titter and tee-hee
about the fake whiskers, they
listen with rapt attention when
he promises to see them all
Christmas eve, adding that he
remembers each and every re-
quest they have made.
Santa is as much a part of
Christmas as snow but he has
to be kept in line. Either Santa
must put-up or shut -up. Even
the toy shop at the North Pole
should have a limit.
