This is the sort of rationalizing I was doing this week when I took not one, but two days sick leave. That makes six days in ten years, I'd been coughing like a kangaroo with consumption, Blow. Ing my nose was like trying to stop Niagara Falls with Kleenex; 1 was dizier than a bat at high noon, I acheld from stern to gud• geon, and I couldn't decide which was aching more. It's boring, I know. But the 'flu is always boring. Except when you have it yourself. Then it's fascinating. When you have it, you know that nobody has ever been as ill as you. Especially those phonies on TV who stay in bed, drink plenty of fluids, and stuff themselves with aspirin. My wife is a great comfort at such times. She invariably says, "You're going to die with that chest cold!" And then she sits back and starts counting on her fingers. The term insurance, the life insurance, When she begins to look a bit nasty, I realize I haven't enough insurance to keep her in affluence. That's about when she calls the doctor, so I'll get better, so I can take out more insurance. The doctor, of course, always settles everything. He says, "I1mmm. Got the 'flu, eh?" Naturally I've got the 'flu or my wife wouldn't have called him. If I had merely a broken leg, she'd prob• ably set it herself. But you can die with the 'flu. And the doctor says, "Take plenty of bed, stay in aspirin, and drink lots." This always brightens me up, and I pull out of the slump within a week, provided I don't drink too much. But there's a moral question involved with the 'flu. Should one go to church, school or business, and back, sneeze, cough and spit all over the congregation, the classroom or colleagues? The answer, 1 think, is an unequivocal "yes," provided we have the strength. That's the only way in which we can maintain one of cur few great old Canadian traditions: spreading the 'flu. We have spread two things in this country since pioneer days, 'flu and fertilizer, and we mustn't stop now. Spreading the 'flu is not without its merits, provided it is done with tact and timing. As witness. On Friday night we were supposed to go to the annual ball of the year. You know the sort of thing, Every town has one. Five percent of the men want to go, and 100 percent of the woanen. It's a chance for them to wear their wigs, make the old man spring for a smashing new dress, and discuss for the next week what ridicu• lous things the other women were wearing. After wheezing and sneezing for about three days, 1 was looking forward to it as one might look forward to his own funeral, So sick was I that even the thought of having to shine my shoes made me feel faint. That was bad enough, But somehow we'd been finessed into having an after -the -ball party with 30 people guzzling food and drink, 1 didn't see how I could get through it, alive. Yes, Virginia 'there is a Santa Claus, To my delight and her horror my wife woke up Friday morning hacking and gasping and as feverish as 1. I'd spread her the 'flu. She hung on till af- ternoon hoping fora miracle recovery but then had to throw in the towel and cancel everything. That probably saved my life and about $100 so the 'flu can't be all bad.

Davis said in the Leg- islature while speaking during the final House consideration of his $1 billion department estimates. Opposition critics said public concern over education costs had reached the point where the Gov- ernment overnment must establish priorities and can no longer expect a virtu. ally free hand in educational spending, It is estimated that the prov. ince will be spending nearly $4 billion on education by 1978. The expenditure for education in 1969 in Ontario, including mun• icipal as well las provincial, will be $2.4 billion. The Agriculture Standing Com- mittee this week approved a bill restricting the powers of the On- tario Humane Society. Attorney General Arthur Wish• art told the Committee that the bill woud eliminate a situation in which the Society has greater powers than the police and will ensure that Society officials con- form to the procedures necessary to protect human rights. Agriculture Minister Wm. Stew- art accused' the Society of many abuses of its authority, under which Society inspectors can enter private property wthout warrant, seize animals, and remove them to be cared for elsewhere, and bill the owner for the costs, Mr. Stewart said the amend- ments will provide a reasonable of common sense approach, so that animals can be protected ag- ainst cruelty without abuse of their owners' rights. Ontario will collect about $5 million more a year In revenue as a result of legislation introduced to require life insurance compan• ies to pay income tax. Up to now life insurance com- panies have been paying a very small amount of income tax based on the amount of money transfer. red to an account from which di. vidends are paid to shareholders, according to Revenue Minister John White, ACIIIEVEAIMENT DAY FOR NEEDLECRAFT MELD IN LUCKNOW LAST SATURDAY Achievement Day for the course "Needlecraft" was held in Luck• now Elementary School on Satur- day, December 6, wth Mrs, Susan Wheatley, Home Economist, of 'Clinton, in charge.

For they influence every- thing else in your life." "If you endorse a note for someone you hardly know, guaranteeing his debt, you are In serious trouble, You may have trapped yourself by your agreement." "A wise youth makes hay while the sun shines, but what a shame to see a lad who sleeps away his hour of opportunity." "A wise man holds his tongue, Only a fool blurts out everything he knows; that only leads to sorrow and trouble." "Don't talk so much, You keep putting your foot in your mouth. Be sensible and turn off the flow! When a man speaks, he is worth listening to, but the words of fools are a dime a dozen." "A worthy wife is her husband's joy and crown: the other kind corrodes his strength and tears down everything he does." "The good man eats to live, while the evil man lives to eat." "Only the person involved can know his own bitterness or joy—no one else can really share it." "Only a simpleton believes what he is told! A prudent man checks to see where he is going." "It is better to eat soup with someone you love than steak with someone you hate." "If you profit from constructive criticiser you will be elected to the wise men's hall of fame. But to reject criticism is to harm yourself and your best interests." "Don't go ahead with your plans without the advice of others." Ali of this eloquence is taken from one chapter—the chapter called "Proverbs" in the Bible, in a modern and free translation of The Way. The Bible? That is right! Too bad only 5% of the world's people are reading it seriously. This Sunday is I3ible Sunday in many churches in Canada, Are there still 13ible•less homes in Blyth? And how many read the Bible regularly?

Direct membership can be ob• Wiled from the Clinton office or from ;present direct members.

The Federation endorsed the following resolution: Hospital Insurance Covera e Whereas at present chronic .pa• tients are released from hospital and if unable to be cared for in their homes must go to nursing homes where they arc not covered by their Ontario Ilospital Insur- ance, and Whereas there is a lack of Ont- ario Ilospitalization to cover chron- ic p ,..gents in nursing homes, Therefore be it resolved that we approach the Department of Health of Ontario to make provis- ion with the Ontario Hospital Ser- vices Commission to cover chronic patients when they are released into nursing hones ce,intis and 1 r Tenants in apartment buildings should re- ceive a little extra taGney this month under rhe Ontario Gorernme, is property tax reduc►.on system. The system e.:ses the burden of tnultic'Qal and school taxes on ho -ie - owners and tenants. In effect, tite Province isply- ing part of the prop, rty taxes for each eligible house and apartment. Tenants should receive their reductions on or be- fore December 31. Many tenants who vacated premisec earlier in the year will have already received their reductions. Here is what should happen: IF YOU AREA LANDL1RD ... You must pay the full reduction to tenants who have cccupied your premises throughout 1969. Pay ment must be made on or before December 31, 1969. A tenant who moved in during the year and is still occupying your premises must receive one -twelfth of the total reduction for each month of tenancy. It must be, paid on or before December 31. A tenant who moved out during the year must receive a similarly pro• portionate amount within 30 days of the date he terminated his tenancy cy or on December 31, whichever earlier. THE RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX RDUCTI051 ACT (1968) (as amended) If a tenant is in arrears, the tax reduction may be deducted from such ar- rears. However, the reduc- tion must not be withheld because of damages or losses. IF YOU ARE A TENANT.,. You should receive your reduction from your pres- ent landlord on or before December 31, 1969. If you moved out of an apartment during the year , and have, not yet received your share of the reduc- tion, you should contact your former landlord immediately to make sure he knows where to send your pay - mea, Tentants in apartment buildings such as duplexes and highrises are usually eligible for the tax reduc- tion. Tenants of flats or basement apartments in housesmay not qua)- ify because the premises they rent are not separately assessed. For example, roomers are not eligible. If youare unsure of your status or eligibility, contact your municipal tax office. IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS`.., You should either telephone Toronto 363-7501 or write the Municipal Sub- sidies Branch, Department of Municipal Affairs, 801 Bay Street, Toronto 181. Officials are available to assist you. Pamphlets outlining details of the 1969 lax reduction system can be ob- tained on request. THE DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS Hon.W.
