The regular meeting of the
Huron County Board of Educ-
ation got underway a half
hour late Monday evening -
8:30 p. m. -• to'permit a longer
than usual committee-oNthe-
whole (in camera)session. It
ended about 10 p; m. for a short
break before members of the
board reconvened in another
committee -of -the -whole (in
camera) meeting. .
During the open meeting,'
little new business was aired,
All but three of the recommend-
ations from "The Arts In Educ-
ation" meeting were approved
and the three which were tabled
involved budget limitations as
well as a" follow-up study of
county needs..
The recommendation from the
academic planning committee
to form a -teacher -trustee -admin-
istration liaison commit tee was
also approved.
A brief discussion was held on
the request from the London -
board of education to put a
freeie on' administrative salar-
ies, but board members agreed
to file the'. correspondence. -The
feeling.was that the Huron
board had been holding the -,,
line on administrative spend.=
ing as well as other education-
al spending since the board's
beginning,and did not feel
it was necessary to put a freeze
on salaries which were already
well Within the guidelines set
by other boards in the province.

Despite problems which have made headlines in some loc-
. al papers, a visit to the former air base in Clinton shows the
attempt to convert it to civilian use is proceeding at full
•'speed,
Last week word was received that the plan of subdivision
foc the Base had been approved by the provincial, government
which means that only the county's approval must now be
:.gained for the Base plan, This means that deeds can then .
officially be given for the land.
Despite this governmental hang-up, 'however, activity has
not been at. a standstill at the Base, Many of the houses
have been sold and most of the apartments are already
rented. A gas station is now in operation and a food store
will likely soon be opened to serve the needs of the residents
of the townsite,
What does this mean for Blyth?
Simply this. It was pointed out last week that nearly all •
the housing units at the Base are now filled up and yet not
one factory has yet moved in. At last coynt, five or six
factories had planned to locate at the Base, employing more
than 200 people. If the houses are already taken up, where
are these people going to live with their families. For a good
many, it might just be here in Blyth.
Blyth is in a position to take a great advantage of_a boom
caused by., the growth around the old Base. We have a 'comm!.
unity which is nice to live in, has cheaper taxes than many
others, and only a few miles away from the Base. And we
still have plenty of inexpensive land within the village lim-
its' on which to build houses (the official Huron County Plan
says Blyth could grow to a population of 1540 with its pres-
ent boundaries with little expenditure on increased water
and sewerage facilities). This expansion could be accomodated
with little hinderance to the present population.
In any expansion at the Base, Blyth has almost as much
to gain as Clinton and possibly more since we can have the
benefit without the expense which will be involved in. pro-
viding such needed facilities .as sewerage and water facilities
at new factories. We can have people without the presence
of factories which would cause pollution.
At the same time, the possibility of growth in our own
community, points up the urgent need for the Planning Board
that is now in the process of being farmed. This process
should be speeded up as much as possible. Coping with the
problems of growth must be, done before the growth starts,
not in the middle of a boom.
Time to Dan tiork$

An accident with fireworks last week badly injured a local
boy. In Brucefield, a historic building was almost burned down
when it was set on fire by what firemen think was a fire-
cracker carelessly let off on the property, In Toronto, two.
boys were nearly burned to death when someone threw a fire-
cracker at the tent in which they were sleeping and the tent
caught fire.
Sadly, but clearly, the time has come to ban the general
sale of fireworks to the public.
Such a decision will bring sadness to many. Nearly every-
one can remember playing with firecrackers when they were
young or watching their father light a Roman Candle on the
front lawn and seeing the flashing colours spurt skyward.
But the time has come when the fun has been outdone by
the damage of the little explosives. True, there are many
children who still use fireworks sensibly, but unfortunately,
even with these, accidents can happen such as fireworks going
off in a pocket and producing serious burns.
But there are also the nuts who think its funny to throw
firecrackers at people walking by or to throw firecrackers
from cars as they rush down the street or to slip a firecracker
into the pocket of an unsuspecting playmate. Many of these
are old enough to know better.
Along with the ban, there should be an attempt to provide
a community fireworks display in every town and village.
Such a display can provide a spectacle for children far
better than anything their family could hope to do. Such a
display would be an event which would bring the community
together and every event which brings a community together
helps to strengthen it.
Hopefully, some group here in Blyth will start planning
now for next year and seek to provide a display that will
serve everyone in Blyth and district. Hopefully, there will be
no tragedy next year.

From' by SHIRLEY J. KELLER
The world is surely a crazy
place to live, isn't it, but
unfortunately, there's no place
else to go, -.We're here on
this planet and we're stuck .with
it - for a while at least.
A few days ago I was having
a kind of ecumenical discussion
with a friend of mine. We
were talking about all sorts of
things, but as usually happens
when I talk with this particular
friend, the topic got around to
religion.
Now don't get me wrong.
This column isn't going to be
a discourse on the differences
between religious denominations
... although I'll just bet there
are many readers out there who
would get a big bang out of
reading something like that.
Actually what my friend was
saying was that The Pope in '
Rome turns him off because
The Pope dons his papal robes
and ermerges from his papal
palace and tells the masses to
love one another, to feed the
starving, to clothe the naked,
to heal. the sick. He then re-
turns to the seclusion of his.
finely furnished, well -stocked
mansion and does nothing,
Well, I don't know what the
papal palace looks like. I
don't know whether The Pope
wears ermine or rags. I don't,
know whether he eats steak or
dry bread, And it doesn't much I
matter to me because I believe '
that in our own ways, each of
us is a hypocrite. .. and anyone
who says he isn't is that much
more of a hypocrite. .
I told my friend rot.to fault
The Pope for his human weak-
nesses unless he could prove
blameless himself, I reminded
him that in my humble opin-
ion, anyone who lived com-
fortably
omfortably and ate well and
dressed warmly and did not
share with his neighbours and
friends who were in need, was
just as guilty as anyone,
And that's what turns me off
when it comes to most modern
day peacemakers. So many of
these would-be do-gooders think
that by sitting idly by writing
poetry and talking about love,
they are bringing peace to the
world. Tell someone who's
being oppressed that you're sid-
ing him by wearing a flower
in your teeth and strumming
a guitar, and he'll tell you
you've got something to learn,
buddy.
It really irks .me, too, .that
some people believe they are,
perfectly within their rights to
live the way they want to
live., , despire the fact that
their only source of income is
welfare. And here again, please
don't get the idea that I'm
opposed to welfare, For deserv-
ing people - folks who for
some reason beyond their own
control are unable to earn a
decent wage - I believe welfare
should be provided in such
amounts that it provides a dig-
nified lifefor the recipient.
But take the healthy, virile
male who prefers to recline in
bed until noon and rises only
to rest until evening when the
action begins., just because he
doesn't "dig" (agree- with) the
free enterprize, democratic
concept.
This fellow will brag about
his "rights" in a free society -
and then ignore the people
who fought to make it free.
He'11 do nothing at all to re-
tain the precious freedom which
makes it possible for his
makes it possible for him to
enjoy his peculiar quirks in
peace. -

When he gets hungry, he'll
expect to be fed. , but he' 11
scoff at the silly fools who
expend an honest day's. effort
to provide. the funds for • his
welfare cheque. He'll beg all
to leave ' off working, but has.
no thought for where the funds
will be realized to support his
life,
He won't lift a pinky to help
himself or anyone else, but
he'll scream bloody murder and
protest all day and half way
through the night if necessary
to complain when there's a so-
called "injustice". He'll kill
and maim and burn and plunder
in the name of peace - and
he'll call it "justice",
I just don't "get it on with"
(understand) the people who,
as the Bible ' so aptly .puts it,
fail to remove the beams
from their own eyes before
attempting to take out the
splinter from the other fellow's
peepers.
So The Pope doesn't actively
pursue the feeding of the mass-
es by inviting 100 Biafrans to
dinner each evening, What
difference does it make, when
Joe Blow from Kokomoe doesn't
give that extra winter coat to
the shivering refugees in China?
Who, really, does the most to-
ward world peace?

• This,week the .Minister of Agr-
iculture and Food announced:the.,
'intention of the Government to
implementa programme of
guaranteed bank, loans to assist
Industrial.Milk•Producers in.
the .Province to purchase market
sharing quo_ to to which is attach--
ed
ttach-ed subsidy eligibility quota from
the Canadian Dairy,Commission.
The Minister indicated that the
Government was interested in
maintaining and expanding the
-industrial. milk 'industry in Ontar-
io and -wanted to make sure that
no producer was deprived of mar-
ket sharing quota because of lack -
of operating capital,
That being soy' the.Minister .
said that the programme will
consist of chartered bank loam
with the Government of Ontario
guaranteeing these loans..The
loans will be at prime interest
rates plus 1% repayable at any,
time without penalty,
In answer to a series of quest-
ions from me the Minister of
Revenue disclosed that in April
1971the Department agreed to
a proposition of the Department
of National Revenue that they
co-operate in the establishment
of a national real'estate data
bank.
The purpose of the bank is to
store and monitor all real estate
transaction information around
valuation day for taxation ad-
ministration,
The project is in the pilot
stage, and the Department of
Municipal Affairs and the Ont-
ario Department of Revenue
agreed intergovernmental co-
operation in this matter,
The Federal Government rec-
ognized there would be certain
costs in extracting information
and it has been agreed that the
Province will be compensated
accordingly,
The Province of Saskatchewan
is currently taking part in a sim-
ilar test arrangement.
Consideration of the Estimates
is continuing with eight Depart-
ments gaining approval so far.

exchange, a program that from
its 'birth pains' in -1971, has led-
to'learning through doing'. for -
the urban -- rural visitors and
for the program co-ordinators.
About 2000 of urban Ontario's
youth, aged 12 to 15 will apply
through their schools to spend
a week in July or August on a -
farm near their homes; Where
desired, return visits to the. -
urban -community will be arran-
ged by -the area co-ordinator for
any rural hosts in that 12 to 15 .
year-old range who are .inter •
-
ested in sharing the 'learning
aspects' of the program.' - -
The whole 'idea is to help im-
prove understanding between
Ontario's rural and urban pop-
ulations, to increase the know-
ledge of and personal exper-.`
ience with each other.
To achieve this, all partic-
ipants will be expected to be
actively involved in the reg-
ular life of the host family and
the visitor will be treated as a
'member' of the family. The
purpose of the program is not
to create a task force or, a hol-
iday, but to expose the visitor
to the normal activities of his
a her new environment to
learn.
Both exchangees and host
families (urban and rural)
will be insured for accident
and liability, '.
'Communication' and 'environ-
ment' have become the catch
wards of the sixties and sevent
ies.. The Urban= Rural Exchange
Program offers a chance to find
out what they mean by experie-
ncing them, rather' than just by
reading about them in a diction-
ary..

ion forms may be obtained from

n� MINJSTER'S senor
by JOHN G, ROBERTS, BELGRAVE,
The Gospel of Good Standing
In the Gospel of St, Luke our Lord tells the story of a wedding
feast, and offers advice to those attending one, He says""when
you are invited to a feast,' do not take the seats reserved for the
most important guests. If someone more important than you
comes in, you may have to suffer the indignity and'shame of
moving down the table, Take rather, the lower seats and you
may be honoured by being asked to move up"", (Luke 14;7-11),
There doesn't seem to be any more in this than a fairly mild
piece of advice about good manners and how to conduct oneself
at social functions, A good deal of the teaching of Jesus is taken
in this light hearted way, as though it is no more than instruct-
ion in morality offered in an almost take it or leave it way, A
man, asked recently about the Church, answered ""it"s the
young people you should get after, we middle aged and older
folk are set in our ways and all this religion is not going to make
any real difference to us now", This sort of faith was well
described by one professor, with great contempt, as 'middle
class morality",
If the teaching of Jests is to be interpreted in this fashion two
things arise, First, the gospel becomes a Gospel of Good Stand-
ing , It would appear to depend on and speak mainly to middle
class people. It would seem to regard as, important middle
class income, values and objectives. It would seem to be pre-
sented in a take it cr leave it way, and the Church can not blame
those who simply - leave it.
Second and of, much greater importance, it raises a fundament-
al question about the interpretation of the gospel as a whole.
How could such mild mannered.teaching on the lips of Jesus
have given rise to so much bitterness and hostility on the part
of the authorities'of His day. How could His words have made
such an impact that they felt that He must be destroyed..Pre-
cisely because His words were not a Gospel of Good Standing.
Because He continually challenged men to consider a much
more telling question. The question of their relation to God.
He was constantly reminding men that they must humble.
themselves before God just as the man in the stay humbled
himself before his host, This is the Gospel. It is decisive. It
demands a decision.
A Blyth area team was presented last week with- the
Group A championship trophy for darts - in a ceremony -
at Brussels. The team included (left to right) Ken
Patterson, Charlie Shaw, Ken Johnston, Harm Thalen
and Bob Scott.

for the year ended December 31st,
TO THE HURON COUNTY
BOARD. OF EDUCATION,,
I have examined the Balance Sheet of the Huron County Board -
of Education as at December 31, 1971 and the Revenue Fund State-
ment : of Revenue and .Expenditure and :the Statement of Source
and Application of Capital Funds for the year then ended, My exam-
ination included a general review of the accounting procedures and
such tests of accounting records and other supporting evidence as
I considered necessary in the circumstances, '
In my opinion these Financial Statements present fairly the
financial position of the Board as at December 31, 1971 and the
results of its operations and the source and application of its capital
funds for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting prin-
ciples generally accepted. for Ontario School Boards applied on a
basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Question; `The varnish, on
our entrance hall floor ie
badly worn with bare wood
exposed in one place, Must 1
remove the old varnish before
applying a new. coat? ,
Answer: Not if instead of
varnish you use a fast -dry-
ing polyurethanewood finish
called Fasteron which can be
applied, directly over the old'
varnish;
This clear wood finish is ex-
cellent for halls and other
high traffic areas because of
its extreme durability, It re-
sists abrasion ' and doesn't
waterspot, so mud, grit, and
.water tracked . in from out-
doors can be washed or wiped
away without damage to this
finish,
And, with a normal drying
time of only two hours, your
family won't be unnecessarily
inconvenienced while you re-
finish the floor,
TOUCH UP
BARE SPOT FIRST
For best results, sand any
blistered areas, then remove
all wax, polish, and dust or
dirt from the floor by washing
with pure turpentine and clean
rags. Brush a coat of Fasteron
on the worn area. Complete
the job two hours later by ap-
plying the finish to the en-
tire floor.
You didn't mention the
size of your hall, but one im-
perial gallon of Fasteron will
cover an area of approxi-
mately 500 square feet.
FOR FURNITURE AND
EXTERIOR USE
This wood finish may also
be used for furniture, panel-
ing, and other fine finishes.
It is available in either a
Gloss or Satin Finish. Faster -
on Satin tends to minimize
imperfections in the surface
of older floors and furniture
and produces an attractive
rubbed effect.
Because it's waterproof, this
finish is especially suitable
for exterior wood and boats.
It has unusual resistance to
both fresh and salt water.
Again, because of its fast dry-
ing time,, several coats may be
applied in the same day for
added protection.

How to buy and
serve asparagus
For top quality and flavor,
look for fresh, tender aspara-
gus. Recognize young, tender
stalks by close compact tips
that are deep green or bluish
green. Spreading, opened tips
indicate overmaturity or stalks
which have been cut for too
long a time, say food special-
ists at the Ontario Food Council,
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food. Avoid stalks that are very
thin, crooked or wilted, or
which have large amounts of
white woody base -- these will
be tough. Stalks should be firm
but tender (brittle and easily
punctured).
Buy from a refrigerated dis-
play if possible, and use it
quickly while freshness lasts.
Refrigerate unwashed in a plast-
ic bag until used. One pound
will provide three to four serv-
ings.
TO prepare asparagus, wash it
well, removing any loose scales.
Break off (don't cut) the woody
base -- the stalk will snap where
the tender part begins. Tie in
bundles (use foil) and stand up-
right in a deep pot, pyrex cof-
fee perk, or double boiler (in-
vert the top of the double boil-
er and use as a lid), Add boil- .
ing salted water to about half-
way up sides of stalks, so
stalks will cook in water and
tips in steam. Or lay stalks
in a large skillet with about
1 -inch water, and use crush-
, ed foil_ to. prop tips- out of
water. Cook covered 10 to 15
minutes,. until just tender.
Drain and °serve with melted
butter, a squeeze of lemon,
grated cheese, hollandaise,
white or cheese sauce.
Plant dahlias for
colour and variety
Dahlias make a bright dis-
play in the flower bond er or gar-
den, -
A wide range of types are avail -
:able from dwarf varieties with
small blooms to tall varieties
with very.large blooms, :.
Dahlias prever a sunny location
protected from the prevailing
winds says, D. B; McNeill, hort-
icultural specialist, Ontario Min-
istry of Agriculture and Food.
Hot;: dry locations should be
avoided, They prefer fertile,
well drained soils, Because of
their rapid rate of growth,
they require a good supply of
moisture.
Dahlias should never be plant-
ed
lanted until the danger of frost has .
past. The roots should be plant-
ed,
lanted, preferably on their sides,
4 to 6 inches deep and covered
with 2 inches of soil. The balance
of soil should be filled in as the
plants grow. Most dahlias re-
quire staking, These should be
in place.at planding time to
avoid root damage later on .
Part 'of the pleasure of grow-
ing dahliasis producing large
blooms, As the plants grow and
produce buds, pinch out the
side buds and leave only one
per branch,
Since there are many varie-
ties available, consult your
local garden center for the best
varieties for your area.

Compensation for EIA
(Swamp Fever) Reactors
The federal government will
pay compensation to horse own-
ers who have their animals des-
troyed under a program to rid
the Canadian horse population
of Equine Infectious Anemia
(Swamp Fever), Agriculture
Minister H.A. (Bud) Olson
announced today.
As a service to horse owners,
in February 1971, federal vet-
erinarians started using the
Coggins test and since then
more than 50,000 Canadian
horses have been tested through
the Health of Animals Branch
laboratories at Hull, Quebec.
When the testing began, about
seven per cent of the horses
reacted positively. That was
considered to be a significant
rate of infection.
Since then, the rate of posit-
ive reactors has dropped to about
one per cent and continues to
1 decline.
Last year the federal govern-
ment also introduced require-
ments whereby imparted horses
had to react negatively to the
Coggins test before they would
be allowed`entry to Canada.
"With this lower level of in-
fection, we have decided to
move to the second stage of
the program to eradicate the
disease," Mr. Olson said.
"We will pay compensation
for lases that react positively
to the Coggins test and are
slaughtered,
"There will be provision in
special cases for owners to keep
horses which have reacted pos-
itively under strict quarantine
supervised by Health of Animals
Branch veterinarians,
"We have in mind cases where
the horse has special value to
the owner, such as valuable
breeding animals and pets,"
he said.
"These animals will be
marked to identify them as pos-
itive to EIA,"
Details of payment of comp -
enation will be announced soon.

Well, you can stop holding
your breath, The biggest
thing since the building of
the pyramids, in the opinion
of some people is accom-
plished, Our daughter is
married, And off our hands
after 21 gruelling years. It
says here.
I hope there's some an-
cient saying like: "Stormy
wedding day, sunny mar-
riage.
Not that there was any-
thing stormy about the wed-
ding itself, It was positively
seraphic, and some people
were smiling with sheer de-
light for the first time in
years,
But the weather was
something else. The day be-
fore was sunny and still.
The day after was the same,
The wedding day was the
worst rotten day of a long,
rotten spring. Driving rain
and bone -chilling wind,
I know. 1 was there, Out
in it, doing all the last-
minute chorevoilhe cubes,
cream for (he coffee,
smokes, mix, dry-cleaners,
etc, I have neither a hat nor
a raincoat and I couldn't
find my wife's umbrella, so
I was soaked to the skin
from the navel both ways.
However, I mustn't com-
plain, even though 1 have
my first bad cold for three
years. It was KIM'S DAY, as
everyone kept telling me for
about a month, and what
matter if her dear old Dad
has double pneumonia.
Somehow, as it so often
happens, everything fell into
place. Her old lady talked
her way out of the hospital,
then went three solid days
and nights without one
wink of sleep. She was so
nervous and exhausted she
was positive she'd have to
take to her bed before the
ceremony. But from that
subterranean depth which
most of us don't possess,
she not only made it, but
came through with flying
colours.
The rug -cleaning man
had been here and every-
thing was spotless. This was
bad, because everybody
would have muddy feet. But
it was good, because every-
body wiped their feet or
took off their boots.
A gang of boys had ar-
rived the day before to rake
up the lawn, This was good.
But it was bad because
everybody, was too wet : to
notice,
First arrival was -Shelby,
an • itinerant young actor,
one of the - men Kim had
shared her apartmentwith
all year, No, he was not the
bridegroom; This was bad,
because Kim was, still talk-
ing and laughing with him,
in jeans and T-shirt, with
one hour to go.before :the
ceremony, But - this was
good, because Shelby is a
great mixer, and later on,
when we ran out of mix, he
went out and got some,
Next guests were two
drenched urchihs who had
hitch -hiked through the tor-
rent some 65 miles. Soaked
right through. I didn't know
what to do with them. Son
Hugh, all the way from
Montreal for the day, provi-
ded a solution that no
middle-aged square would
have thought of, He took
them downstairs, had them
take off their jeans and
threw them, (the jeans, not
the kids), in the dryer.
Then both front and
back doorbells started to
ring like a five -alarm fire,
and yours truly, the only
one dressed, sprinted back
and forth, accepting . gift-
wrapped parcels from little
boys and delivery men,
hanging up dripping coats,
and trying to introduce per-
fect strangers to each other,
Chaos,
But chaos often works
better than logistics, This
was to be a Baha'i cere-
mony. The bride and
groom, with their typical
acumen, had not even de-
cided on the order of the
ceremony; and were — well,
not squabbling, but arguing
- until the moment of
truth, •
Kim hissed at me, "Dad,
you say our prayer after
Marlene. That's all you have
to remember," And that's
about all 1 did remember.
There it an old cliche:
"The. bride was beautiful in
a , , " Well, I'm here to tell
you that the bride was beau-
tiful, in a long, svelte, bor-
rowed dress that looked as
though she had stepped out
of a Botticceli painting, long
auburn hair, huge brown
eyes and infinite youth. The
groom looked pretty good,
too, but his father can write.
his own column about that.

perhaps subconsciously; was;
a General Thanksgiving
from the Book of Common
Prayer. Chopin's mazurkas
rippled: quietly in the back-
ground, Brother Hugh sang
a:haunting song in French
and English,
Then came the most
dramatic and poignant . part
of the ceremony. Tapers
were - lighted without one
ember dropping on the rug.
A single candle was lit from
them, The bride and groom
faced each other, eye to
eye, and made their person-

something after a minister),•
They had kept secret from

Milk..00e00-0'by
alf 'age groups
Milk is .a valuable food for all
age groups, not just growing -
children, say food specialists at
the Ontario Food Council; Min-,
istry of Agriculture and Food. .
Milk is a major -source of ribo-
flavin (vitamin B2) and calcium
in the diet. The body's need
for these two minerals continues
throughout life, to maintain
body functions and health.
Canada's Food Guide, devel-
oped liy the Canadian Council
on Nutrition, recommends 11 -
cups of milk daily for adults.
Teens have the highest require-
ment (4 cups daily), The'recom-
mended amount for,children is
21 cups.
Using skim milk powder is a
convenient and economical Way
to obtain the nutrients found in
milk. Skim milk powder is not.
a milk substitute -- it is milk,
with all the protein, calcium,
minerals' and vitamins of skim
milk. (Skim milk, whether
fresh or reconstituted, . is low
in vitamin A compared to
whole milk. This vitamin is
fat soluble, and removed with
the cream or butterfat)
Skim milk powder; added
with other dry ingredients to
baked goods, sauces, puddings,
meat patties or loaves, becomes
a real nutrition booster: Recon-
stituted, it has the flavor and
food value of fresh; skim` milk,
with only 90 calories, .For a richer
flavor, combine equal amounts
of whole milk and skim milk
powder mixed with water.

Behind the. Scenes .. •
by Keith Roulston
You'll pardon, I hope, those
of us in the weekly newspaper'
business if we aren't too ec-
static when a holiday such as
the Victoria Day holiday just
past comes up.
It seems at least half of the
holidays in the year, either
on purpose or by accident, fall
on Mondays, and in the weekly
newspaper business, holidays on
Mondays are no holiday at all.
Most of us have the day off,
all right (there isn't much you
can do anyway when everyone
else is on holiday) but it
means working hard all day on
'a usually leisurely Friday to
get ready for the holiday, and
wanking twice as hard on Tues-
day, " a day that's normally
hectic anyway, to catch up
with the holiday so that by
Wednesday, the paper is ready
to go to press.
By then, you're in need of
another holiday.
It wasn't always thus, of
course. I can' remember when
I used to look forward to .the
Victoria Day Holiday with
pleasure. As a kid, of course,
there was always the thrill of
the fireworks, but more import-
ant, there was the thrill of the
first holiday of the summer,
the first time when you had ,
the time to take the dog and
go for a walk in the bush to
see the flowers, or take an
extra long bike ride.
It meant the start of softball'
season too and that made it
special as you pounded a new
ba s eball glove into shape,
practised your swing, and
dreamed of the home runs you
would hit and the double -plays
you'd make to help your team
win the championship. Later
on in the summer, of course
came sad reality when you
struck out three times in a row,
booted an easy grounded and
saw your team locked in a
vicious battle for fifth place
in a six " team league. Ah, but ,
in May the dreams were sweet.
Another dream was the
dream of catching a big trout,
the biggest one ever caught in
the area, from the secret
fishing hole. only you knew
about. By summer, of course,
you knew why the hole was
secret --nobody else wanted to
catch the six-inch chub that
was the biggest fish in that
stretch of water.
There was one dream,
though, that came true. It
was the dream that surfaced
first every Victoria Day week-
end about the coming of the
end of the school year and the
long, warm sunny days you'd
soon have all to yourself. The
only thing that spoiled that
dream was that every year
about this time, some edu-
cation expert would make a
statement about soon the schools
would stay in session all summ-
er long to make better use of
expensive buildings.
I guess the kids know now,
however, that they never have
to worry about such a happening
The teachers would never allow
it --for if the kids are dreaming
of summer, the teachers are
even more so.
Now every year about this
time, I dream Ism a teacher,
not a newspaperman. It's
another dream that never
comes true.

into wet mud for food. Nest is placed_ on the
ground in a' depression among grasses or other
thick cover near water. Length about eleven
inches. Jumps into .flight with a harsh "craik-
craik" call and wings away in a rapid, zig-zag
flight.
