Why Shouldn't It Cost Money to See Expo '67?
jest- the truth of the $100 per day
figure which has been estimated as
the cost for a family of four while
at the fair. Like everything else, we
would think it would be possible to
spend more or less, depending on the
pocketbook and the ability to im-
provise.
Still, we see no reason for people
to believe there will be any bargains
to be found at Montreal this year.
It may be Canada's 100th birthday
but that doesn't alter the fact that
Montreal folk will take advantage of
their opportunity to make a dollar
or Expo creators to pay the bills.
Why should it?
We are pleased to note that some
precautionary measures have been
taken to prevent deliberate exploita-
tion, but we are convinced that a
sojourn in Montreal to see Expo '67
will cost fairgoers a pretty penny.
After the millions and millions of
dollars which have been poured into
the preparations for this world's fair,
it cannot be otherwise.
Expo 'til has opened with a mighty
rush of people exceeding all but the
most fantastic estimates. Officials
are already heralding the fair as a
resounding success which will justify
the tremendous expense involved.
Certainly those who toured the
site prior to the opening have re-
turned home somewhat awed by the
magnitude of it all. They have ex-
claimed over the buildings and the
grounds and formed some kind of an
opinion about the various pavilions
and their contents, even though it is
impossible to see everything in a
couple of days.
Most comments concerning the ex-
position have been favorable, so it
should come as no surprise that a
million or so persons have filed
through the gates by the termination
of the first week -end.
Nor should Canadians and visitors
to this country be appalled to learn
that it costs money to stay in Mont-
real during Expo months. We are
not in any position to accept or re -
Working Conditions -- 1905 Style
We were particularly interested in
an article which appeared recently
in the Blyth Standard and noted with
satisfaction the accompanying com-
ment by the editor there.
Observed The Standard: "Perhaps
if everyone of today's working force
was forced to work a year under the
1905 circumstances, a good cure
would be found for the relentless
bickering and dickering of the pres-
ent era for the three to five dollar
an hour wage and the 371/4 hour
work week."
Here is the article to which the
editor was referring. Reprinted
from a Buntin Reid Paper Company
Ltd. folder, it is the oath which
printing apprentices took back at the
turn of the century. We trust You
will enjoy it as much as we did.
"In consideration of my being
taught the trade of printer, I here-
by promise that: I will take all pos-
sible care to preserve from damage
all type, machinery, paper, or other
materials in the office, pick up all
type, rules, lead, etc., I may find on
the office floor; keep the office,
desks, counter, floors, windows and
walls clean and tidy; keep the press-
es, engine and boiler room clean, and
everything in my charge always in
a tidy and presentable condition.
"During the summer months, I
will be at the office in the morning
before the seven o'clock bell rings,
on every working day, and in the
colder months when heat is necessary
in the office, I will be there to light
the fire at 6:30 a.m. so as to have
steam up (the presses were run by
steam) and the office warm at 7:00
o'clock.
"I solemnly promise that while I
am employed in the office I will not
use tobacco in any form, nor intoxi-
cating liquor as a beverage either in
the office or out of it, that I will be
honest, truthful and straightforward,
and will endeavor to act the part of
a gentleman wherever I may be.
"It is aranged that my wages shall
be $1.50 per week the first year, and
that fhey shall be increased by $1.00
per week each year during my ap-
prenticeship of four years."

From
My Window
Of all the gadgets in my
house, the telephone is the most
disturbing. Just when I think
I will pull it out by the roots
because it called nie from the
basement only to stop ringing
when I drew near, I get the
irrepressable urge to talk for
a half hour with the girl down
the street.
Then I'm betwixt and be-
tween, not knowing whether
my telephone is a blessing or
a burden.
Very few homes are without
a telephone. It was once a
sort of status stymbol like the
color TV of today, but no more.
Telephones are so widely in use
that many people rely on the
telephone book as an address
directory, and •they just can't
imagine why everyone isn't list-
ed there for convenience sake
if for nothing else.
Our telephone begins to ring
at a very early hour each day.
By eight o'clock in the morn-
ing the receiver on our tele-
phone is warm to the touch and
we have been brought up to
date on family happenings,
business deals, work schedules,
homework assignments and af-
ter -four activities. By ten
o'clock we have have conducted
a committee meeting, 'organized
a birthday party, directed a lost
traveller, and ordered a week's
groceries without stepping out
of the living room.
The telephone always beckons
when the dishwater is just the
right temperature, in the mid-
dle of the showdown scene an
television or somewhere be-
tween the talcom powder and
the dry diaper. The line is
busiest when you have five
minutes to get to the hair-
dresser's, a broken water pipe
or six calls to make before your
husband finds out you've ac-
cepted that chairmanship you
promised you would turn down.
Children learn to use .the
telephone before they have
mastered the art of speaking.
Our year-old son knows that a
telephone goes to your ear and
that you must speak a little,
listen a - little, speak a little
more and so on.
Our 'daughter has discovered
it is a simple matter to find out
if the other girls are wearing
slacks or skirts to the party.
Our eldest son is happy to do
six math questions, write a
paragraph and study a whole
chapter in his science book if
By Shirley Keller
he has a telephone and a sym-
pathetic
ympathetic someone on the other
end of the line.
Personal visiting is cut to a
minimum because it is such an
easy way out to pick up the
trusty telephone and chat for
an hour or so without having
to dress up and go out or clean
up and serve coffee.
Letter writing is getting to
be too much of a chore because
for only a few cents more we
can call long distance and speak
to our family and friends as if
they were in the next room.
It has even been known to
deliver babies by phone and—
heaven help me — get married
by phone!
One thing worries me. It the
day ever comes that telephones
become instruments by which
we can .tune in pictures of the
folks we call, our house and
the people in it will have to
lake on a new look. Either fa-
ther must refrain from answer-
ing the telephone in his under-
wear and I'll have to get the
house tidied up before noon or
we'll be forced to let the Bell
invention ring — unnoticed —
until a more reasonable hour
of the day.

CROP REPORT
A small acreage of .cereal
grains was sown during the
latter part of April; however,
showers continue to hold up
general seeding.
Some grain corn has been
planted in the southern part of
Huron County.
Winter wheat, hays and pas-
tures require more warmth to
boost growth. There is en
abundance of moisture for all
crops.
