It. will be full speed ahead for

production of at least one: play
this year.
At a meeting at Blyth Public

production of -their. first play'even
though -they woutld not be able . -
to put it on in Blyth.Memacial.

will be btaged in some other
auditorium; in Blyth:.area.
- Readings for the parts of the
play, likely a mystery -comedy,
will be held in the next few
weeks as soon as scripts atrive
from the publishers.
At the same time, the .theatre
group decided to contintteto
push for completion of necessary
repairs'to Blyth Memorial. Hall:

Editorials
He proved
it could be done
Many in this area will be going to polls again soon, this
time to elect a new member of the Legislative Assembly for
Huron riding.
Charles S. MacNaughton who has represented Huron riding
for 15 years announced his retirement last week and there is
no doubt many in his riding will miss him. It is often the
custom when an important man retires or dies to forget all
the criticisms one made of him during his ,career and praise
him like a good buddy. It would be hypocritical of this news-
paper to sing lyric praises to a man it so often criticized ( as
short a time ago as last week) just because he is now to retire.
This newspaper was one of his oudest critics, or rather, not
so much a critic of MacNaughton himself, but of his government,
its ideas and the way it does business.
Still, people of the Huron riding can be proud to have been
represented by a man of his stature. Over the past 15 years he
has been one of the most powerful men in influencing the
direction of the government of Ontario. He has been in the
last five or so years the second most powerful man in the
government, after only Premier Davis and before ''
that Premier Robarts.
Most of all, he has shown `us that a man from rural I-furon
can rise to a position of prominence at the provincial and
national level. He set an'example for the people of Huron
and showed the whole province especially those in cities like
Toronto, that you dont have to come from a city to play an
important role in any field if you have the drive and determ-
ination to fight for it. •
Mr. MacNaughton was a consumate politician and few were -
the observers in this county who were not awed by the way
he couldjudge the feeling of a meeting and, by saying the
right words in just the right way, turn a hostile crowd into an
adoring one.
Yet it would be unfair to suggest that he was only an .
unfeeling politician who played upon his audience only to win
votes. Whether one liked his policies or not one must admit
that he did what he thought was in'e best interests of his
province and his riding can only bethknown for sure aver the
long run.
To theyeople of Huron riding and to the people of Ontario
the smiling -face of Charlie MacNaughton will be missed.
Unequal reward
Equal pay far equal work is the cry of the women's groups -
today and few will argue that they shouldn't have it. In
fact, many men would like to join the movement so they
could get some of the benefits. -
A few weeks ago, the salaries for Huron County admin-
isrrative officials were published and many a taxpayer shud-
dered. Soon the salaries for administrative officials of
the school board will likely be announced fa this year
and the taxpayer will get another shock. This year is time
for the teachers to negotiate new contracts and the poor
taxpayer is about to take another kick in the pocket book.
Now let's not knock salaries given to public officials
again. Yet the question remains how much longer can
taxpayers who earn $5000 a year be expected to support
public officials who make $10,000, $15,000, or even$30, 000
per year? These public.officials work hard fa their money.
but so does the farmer and the factory worker. They have
a good education, often a means of determining income, _
but so do newspaper editors and we dont know of one in
Huron county who rriakes as high as the lowest amount
mentioned. They provide a vital service.to the community,
but so do farmers and garbage collectors. They have no
financial risk involved. such as the local grocery store
operates, or risk to life and limb like a policeman (who
receives less by far).
Letts not say they don't deserve their high salaries. Let's
say they do, but if they dojo do these other people who
are so important to the community. It is time we
took a new look at the rewards of our society for service
rendered to put a, little fairness into it. . So far it seems
the only way to rewarded properly: for your contribution to
'society is to become a public servant.

The time is 5:35 Friday evening.
The office is slowly emptying of
staff. Even the hierarchy are
vacating the building. Soon it
will be only this devoted writer
who will remain, still tapping
out words her public demands
each week.
Actually I think it is a sub-
consious attempt to stay away from
home. Friday evening is a bad
time at our home and I would
suppose it is a bad time at any
home where there is one or
more teenagers.
Friday night is a night to
howl. It is a time to tlurow
up one's hands and enjoy life.
It is a time to forget books,
householdtasks, duties of
all shape's and forms, and
live, live, live.
The evening begins early....
very, very early. In•fact, 6:30
isnot too soon to get necessarily
follow that one comes home
earlier if one leaves earlier...
but then, neither does it happen
that the curfew is extended if
the son or daughter leaves home
later in the evening.... so in
that respect, all is equal.
Now that one of our teenagers
is a driver, the car naturally
is required on Friday evening.
Goodness gracious yes. How
did he ever get around before
that set of wheels was put
under him.
And. every Friday evening
it is the same hassls.
"Where are you going? we
ask.'
"I'm not sure," he replies.
"Then how do you knowyou
need the car?" we• ask. At
this point, communications
break down.
Really and truly, our son
is quite responsible about his
duties as a driver. Why then
do we feel concerned when he
asks to take the family automobile
on a Friday evening. -It is
strictly unfounded parental
fear cropping up or is it that •
neither father or mother can
n
forget this is the same lad
we diapered and spoon fed,
kissed when he fell off his
tricycle and thrashed soundly
for exceeding the bounds with
his two -wheeler?
Funny thing, too. We know
from the beginning on Friday
evening that our son will be
allowed to take the car. There
is really no reason for us to
deny him that pleasure. Then
why do we question and probe?
Are we trying to keep the '
upper hand or do we really
expect some problems to
develop each time he has the
Car? -You tell me.
The next: thing is funds. Now
I might as well tell you that
our children seldom ask for
Tending ' money. If they don't
earn it they don't get it.
Just how we established that
firm rule I don't know but
both of our teenagers have
accepted that premise and
seldom -, if ever - ask for money
to go out on a Friday evening.
And would you believe that
concerns me? Would you believe
that while I'm not infavor of
handing out money to children
willy-nilly, I am sincerely
concerned when they have
earned sufficient money to do
something truly exciting on
a Friday evening. That's why
there's the problem about funds.
"Have you got money? we ask
the kids.
"yep." they reply.
by SHIRLEY J.
KELLER.
"What are you going to do
this evening?" we question,
hoping to get an indication of
the amount of money y they
actually have.
If it is a movie or a hockey
game, we feel safe. If it is a
trip out of town, we're concerned.
If it is nothing more than a call
at the local'beanery fa a coffee,
we're torn to keep from handing
them the additional funds re-
quired to see a movie or got to
a hockey game.
It isn't the decisions on.
evening. It is merely
concern we feel who
Continued on
He'Ip for small bus
Lately every politician seems to be talking about the.impoct-
ance of small business in this country.
During the election campaign,. Robert Stanfield was talking
about a program to help small business. In the Throne Speech
the federal government was talking about small business.' And
just last week, John White, Ontario's Minister of Industry and
Tourism was telling about Ontario's plans to help small busin-
ess.'
- They all talk about grants and other goodies, but no one
- seems to have come up with,a real long-range program for
improving the. small business community in this country.
Two things are really missing in small businesses: capital
to start a business going, and business training. Where, for
instance does someone wanting to start a small business buy
.,one gain the knowledge of business in general. There are
many schools of business at colleges and universities across
the country. Yet without exception, the courses taught at
these schools are not fa the student interested in going into
business fcc himself, but are dedicated to turning out people
- to feed the ever-growing needs of big business. Nearly all
graduates disappear into huge office buildings like the Tor
onto Dominion centre never to be seen again.
What is needed is!for the government to help set up courses -
at a number of schools in different parts of the nation for men
and women interested in going into business for themselves.
Such courses would give the knowledge essential to efficient
operation of a small business, whether the corner grocery
store or a small factory. Other courses would be planned fa
those already in business -to help them gain new skills iii -Row
to promote their business and to handle their financing to ' ..
their best advantage.
The second problem is money. Just as young people have
problems getting into farming because they -dont have the
money to set up an expensive operation, people have -
problems getting in business because they dont have the - •
financing required. Many -have to go so far in debt to start
a business that they cant recover. The failure rate among
small businesses in Canada is.alarming.
Coupled with its program fa providing more knowledge -
fa small businessman such business training courses, whether
they are 21 years of age or 51, whether they are starting a
.business, buying one or expanding a business.
Non -businessmen might think this only a program to help
the business community -to make a bigger profit at the ex- -
pense of the ordinary joe, but it is much more, important
-thanthat.
the future of our small towns will depend on the ability
of our small businesses to cope with the increasing comp- -
etition from big businesses, whether they be -
huge department stores or big manufacturing companies.
The future of our country will depend on beginning a new
generation of free -thinking,- energetic small businessmen who
will have the skill to make their businesses grow and help
the economy grow.
Only by building an active business community at.the
grassroots level can we hope to keep our economy from being
• taken over completely by foreign interests.
The walls of Huron's
by Shirley J. Keller ..
As. one spokesman from the •
Huron -Perth Regional Assess-
ment Office explained it, "We're
wall to -wall desks and -wall to
wall people. at the moment."
Of course, the spokesman was
referring to the conditions of
over crowding which presently
exist at the Assessment office
located in Goderich.... the
same problem which is troubling
members of Huron County Council
so early in the.new year.
Late -in ]972, ,Huron County
Council was considering an -
addition to the assessment office
to be located on the east side of
the present building. Since that
route would necessitate tearing
down a portion of the walls of the
historical farmer Huron County
jail, the matter was referred back
to the propertycommittee for
further study and 'a look at
possible alternatives to the
problem.
The problem' of course, is
compounded by the fact that
the Town of Goderich is hoping
to make an agreement with Huron
County Council to use the former
jailhouse for a combination mus-
eum and cultural -art centre. Rep-
resentatives from Goderich have
noted on several occasions that
they would prefer.that the jail
and its walls be left untouched.
At the first session of 1973, the
property committee chaired by
Reeve -Ken McMichael of Turn -
berry, brought in a
recommendation
which was a repeat of the 1972
recommendation.
Council approved the suggestion
to build an addition of approx-
imately 3150 square feet on each
of two floors as well as abase-
ment at an estimated cost of
$150,000, provided satisfactory.
"leasing. arrangements can be
agreed upon between,the Min--
istry of Government Services '
Realty Services Branch and the
County of Huron.
- The recommendation also
stated that three jail walls
would have.to be removed - the
one adjacent to the kitchen
entrance to the Children's Aid
Offices, the wall facing Napier
Street and the wall immediatly
adjacent to the present assess-
ment building.
It appeared that no suitable
. alternative to the removal of
these jail "walls could be found.
A suggestion by fcrmer Goderich
Reeve Paul Carroll that property
to the west of the assessment
office be purchased was termed
"impractical".
New Goderich Deputy -Reeve
Stan Profit saw the matter this
way.
"The proposed site is probably
the best of the alternatives,"
Said Profit. "It doesn't disturb me
if the jail isn't left in its entirety.
Profit went on to say that in
his opinion, the assessment office
was an assured thing the museum,
cultural art centre in the jail
is only a possibility.
"If the wall is taken down, it
becomes Goderich's problem too
decide what to do," concluded
Profit.
Reeve Deb Shewfelt was a
little mcre reluctant to agree to
the removal of the jail walls.
"Ideally► the jail shouldn't be
touched," said Shewfelt. He
stated, however, that it did seem
foolhearty to rislosing an in-
dustry which pumps a half -million
annually into the community.
fcr the sake of the jail walls.
Finally Shewfelt countered with
a proposal that if the walls were
removed, the county give con-
sideration to moving the
Children's Aid Offices into the _
upper floor ofthe new building
(the assessment office requires
only 2600 square feet of the
addition) and leasing the
former governor's house in •
which CAS is presently located,
to the Town of Goderich.
Reeve Bob Lyons of West
Wawanosh-was not too con-
cerned about the possibility of
removing some jail walls. His .
main outlook was far additional

jail to come tumbling down
parking space to accommodate
personnel at the Regional Assess-
ment office . - - -
"If we're tearing down one wall'
maybe we should be tearing more
down," said Reeve. Lyons.
It was pointed out that no, .
additional staff Is expected.et the
office. It was only a matter of
providing sufficient working space
far the people already employed
there.
Reeve jack McCutcheon of -
Brussels asked if there was any
assurance that the county would
not build the new facilities and
then find in the future that the
Ontario government had plans
for locating the assessment office
elsewhere.
"That bothers me," admitted
McCutcheon.
It was suggested at this point
that if the additional facilities
were constructed, the county
would have a "good foothold"
on the "industry" for which Perth
County would give its "eye teeth".
Reeve Bill Elston, Meads said
the county should go ahead with
plans f cr building the addition
to the assessment office,
"There are things which are
not nice about it but f cc the
good of us all, I think it should
be done," said Elston.

EVIL PREVAILS WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING
BY'CECIL WITTICH
There is in the Gospel a teaching that we tend to overlook.
Jesus said, "Love your enemies." (Matthew 5:44) Paul
said, "If your enemy is hungry,feed him; if he is thirsty'
give him drink. " (Romans 12:0)' The New Testament
teaches that we must love one another even, our enemies,
The great commandment of our faith says that we must
love God with all that we are and our neighbour as ourself.
(Matthew 22; 36-40) Nowhere does the Gospel indicate
that we may injure and destroy our enemies. Love means
--that we save life and serve the needs of our fellow man.
Jesus manifested such love in his life. When he was
arrested and his life in danger, he did not reply with
physical force. When Peter took out his sword to defend
Jesus, Jesus had to rebuke him and say, 11 All those who
take the sword will perish by the sword." (Matthew 26:52)
And when Jesus was dying on the cross, he asked
the Father to forgive those who crucified him. (Luke 23:34)
After 1900 years of Christianity as we still have not heard
the way of love. We have our war in Viet Nam though,
a settlement seems hopeful. We have our conflict in the
Middle East and Ireland. We sell military weapons to
other countries. More money has been spent on military
build-up in this century that on any other enterprize.
Man has not yet learned to love his enemy and to overcome
evil with good. (Romans 12:21)
Less than a month ago we heard the angel's message,
"Peace on earth and good will toward men." (Luke 2:14)
If we really accepted that then, we must love everyone,
beginning in our own neighbourhood and applying it
throughout the world.

While we're home in Ontario
shovelling snow, a growing
number of Blyth -area residents
are -down south in Florida or
elsewhere enjoying -the warm
sunshine. Every year a large
number of retired or just plain
lucky people from this area
head smith about November -
or early in December and don't
come back until the snow is
gone. '
One of these couples Is
Mr. and Mrs. Del Philip
who have taken up winter resid-
ence in the Panama City area
in Florida. Recently Del sent
home a clipping from the Pan-
ama City News -Herald dealing
with -the growing number of
Canadians who are wintering in
that part of the South. About 90
per cent of the people wintering
in the area, the article says, are
from Canada and most of these
from Ontario. In all, 2000 famil-
ies spend the winter there. The
article points out the benefits to
the area of these winter residents.
It is the equivalent of having 120
new families each with a dis-
posable income (after taxes) of
$8500 move into the town on a
year round basis, And, since
most of the 1lsnowbirdslt as the
paper calls the winter residents -
are retired couples, there are
none of the added expenses of
higher education or policing
costs. -
The winter residents are a
bonus to Panama City which has
in the past been primarily a
spring to fall tourist area with

The article goes on to give
information about Ontario and
Canadians which apparently is
news to Floridians which would
shock Canadians with its sim-
plicity such as the fact that
Canada is not a basicallyFrench
country but a basically nglish=
speaking one. It also explains
the higher cost of living and
lower wages in Canada, saying
the average Canadian makes
about 80 per cent of the average
American's wage, that taxes are
higher and the cost of living
higher.

TQDAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
THE TORONTO NM SYNDICATE
Before" Freddy's picture arrived his social worker reported
that this toddler has a most appealing smile, As you sec, she
didn't exaggerate.
Anglo-Saxon in descent, he has very dark eyes, brown hair
and fair:skin,
Freddy is nearly two but he is so small he looks much younger.
Though he *as a full-term baby he weighed only four-and-a•half
pounds when he was born and it seems that he will continue to be
a little fellow,
Freddy has Pierre -Robin Syndrome, which usually means the
person affected has a small. month, cleft palate and receding
chin. There is no outward sign of his problem and his palate is
now diagnosed as "soft" rather than "cleft", Ile will not need
corrective surgery but May later ,require speech surgery and
orthodontic work.
Freddy has progressed from requiring all food put through a
blender to being able to eat a fairly normal diet as long as foods
are mashed with a fork. Ile has a good appetite and he sleeps
soundly.
Freddy walks well and talks a good deal, His vocabulary. is
limited, as you would expect,_ but he tries to repeat everything
said to him.
This happy, friendly boy beams on everybody paying any
attention to him. Ile is affectionate, energetic and very deter-
mined.'
The Syndrome in Freddy's medical history occasionally
means a child is retarded. This laddie is not, but he will likely be
a slow learner.
Lovable Freddy needs a family who will welcome a lively
affectionate small boy and who will be committed to helping him
later with speech therapy.
To inquire about adopting Freddy, please 'write to Today's
Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P :2112. For general
adoption information, please contact your local Children's Md
Society.

The erection of Blyth Memorial
Community Hall is the outcome
of the united efforts of the residents
of Blyth and the Townships of East
Wawanosh, Morris and Hullett
adjacent to the village, and the
purpose for which the erection of
so stately a building was con-
ceived was to commemorate in _ -
some tangible manner our appre-
ciation and good will toward the
soldier boys of this section who
played so valliant a part in the
Great First World War and also
to perpetuate the memory of
those of our soldiers who paid
the supreme sacrifice that the
world might be free from tyrany
of a nation who taught r .
that Might was Right and desired
to dominate the weaker nations
of the earth.
. None but those who have taken
a prominent part in the erection
of this great memorial can
conceive the labor it has entailed,
the trying and vexatious hours that
were spent in bringing the hall to
completion; but through all,
the committee in charge
went ahead forward undaunted
and with renewed vigor as each
difficulty was surmounted, and
now they can look back over
the past and feel that their
labors have been amply repaid
in that there is left to posterity
something that will stand the
test of time, something, we
trust, that future generations
will look upon with veneration
as a fitting token of the worth
of the residents of the community
and above all else, a striking
testimonialy those.of .
soldier boys who unhesitatingly
answered the call of King and
Country in the greatest struggle
for freedom the world has ever
known.
Almost at the inception of the
movement to build a memorial
hall in Blyth, the Women's
Institute purchased the grounds
on which the hall is erected,
showing rare judgment in their
selection of a suitable site and
this organization, along with the
Red Cross Girls' War Auxiliary
and other organizations have kept
the`moveme :, byreported
...efforts
sup mem li tabor of
indl dual citizens, whie
were finally merged into
Blyth Memorial Hall Committee
and to this organization almost
entirely is due the credit for
the matter being brought to a
successful issue.
While abundant praise is due
the Memorial Hall Committee,
yet we must not forget the
good and generous citizens of
the community• and former
residents of Blyth who came
fcrw ark so magnaminonsly
in assisting to finance the
project and so from the
collective efforts of individuals
and organizations the hall .
was completed and officially
dedicated to the purpose,for
which it was erected.
The turning of the first sod
which marks the place where
the hall now stands, occured in
the spring of 1920 and on the
28th of July of that year the
laying of the corner stones` was
fittingly observed, 'And since
that timethe work went
rapidly forward under the able
direction of the contractors
Messrs, Cockerline and Floody
arid it may be well at this
time to give the public some
conception of the size an4
magnificence of this beautiful
structure. The construction of the
hall is of cement foundation and
red pressed brick and stands in
heighth from the ground to the
eave, 45 feet. It has a.'
total length of 88 feet, with a
width of 52 -Beet. - The stage
has a width of 40 feet and a
depth of 20 feet and is modernly
equipped with foot -lights, side
screens and a handsomely painted
drop curtain. The auditorium
of the hall with the galary has a
seating capacity of 600 and it
is seated with comfortable opera
chairs. The hall is modern, in -
every particular and we doubt -
if its equal can be found in any
town in the province thrice the
size of Blyth. The basement is
equipped for the holding of
meetings of the.council, Division
Court and assemblies of various'
kinds. The hall as it now stands,
has meant an expenditure of
upwards -of $25, 000.
Dedicatory Service
The dedicatory service on Sun-
day -was something that will long
linger in the memories of all u
who were present. The, immense -
crowd began to assemble about -
1:30 orcleck and bythe-time. the
doors opened more than twice '
the capacity of the hall were
seeking admission.- In fact,
so great was the rush for the
entrance that it became almost
a panic, people jostled for pos-
itions and became wedged in
one solid mass so that there -was
no alternate than to move forward
with the crowd. Over half an
hour was taken up in getting the
crowd seated and making
arrangements for -the overflow to
be addressed in the basement
,by vara
• TheA- vWlitAfcantly
of•the St. Andrew's Presbyterian
Church, offered prayer, and the
singing of the hymn ',Onward
Christian Soldiers" then followed.
Hon. Manning Doherty
Hon. Manning Doherty, Minister
of Agriculture was first introduced
and gave a short address, in
which he expressed his appre-
ciation of the honor concerned
in allowing him to take part
this great Memorial service.
He congratulated the residents _.
of the community in errecting so
magnificent a hall and stated
that as the erection of Com-
munity Halls came under his
department and he had been
present at openings in various
parts of the province, yet in
no instance had he seen anything
in the way of a memorial or
community hall that could com-
pare with that errected in Blyth.
He thought the idea of errecting
a hall as a memorial to our fallen
soldiers far in advance of that
of a tablet of brass or stone.
He felt that in the erection of
this magnificent hall that the
people of this community had
rightly interpreted the spirit of
those soldier boys whose names
it was intended to perpetuate.
He added, that while we may
erect memorials of, magnificence
yet none could express in the
slightest the honor we owe to those
brave soldiers of land and sea
who had fought and died that we
at home may enjoy freedom and
civilization. All that individual
of State could do was slight
in comparison to the tremendous
•
arranged and beautifully-decerattd
while flags were hung at various --
pointe throughout the auditorium.
Rev. W. B. Hawkins, Rector
of Trinity Church, Blyth, in
the capacity of chairman, made
a few remarks at the opening of
the service, emphasizing the
purpose for which we were
assembled and the honor he felt
in being chosen to fill so import-
ant a position on so auspicious
occasion.
This was followed by the ren=
dition of "Ye Gates, Lift Up Your
Heads" by a union choir and the
invocation by the chairman. The
hymn, "0 God, our help in ages
past" was then heartily sung by the
assemblage and followed by the
scripture reading by Rev.
Hawkins - Genesis 31: 44-50 and
St. John 15: 9-17. Rev. G.
Telford, M. D. , B. D. , pastor
sacrifice that had been made
by our fallen men. If he had
his.way every public school
throughout the dominion would
have one its walls a suitable
memorial, He then gave a
description of the ceremony of
burial of the unkown warrior
in Westminister Abbey, London,
which took place on Armistice •
Day, at which he was present.
The ceremony was simple yet
impressive. From royalty
to the poorest of the throng
paid their homage and honor
to that unkown soldier with the
same reverence. People for
hours after the ceremony made
their way to his last resting
place that they might deposit
their flower on the grave of
the unkown hero. Some might
say that the British Empire was
becoming divided., but in his
opinion so long as the people of.
England pay such honor to their
hereoes, there was no fear of
revolution. He then referred to
the community life of pioneer
days in which there was the
neighbcrlyness generosity and good
will that each community lived
in contented withstanding the
privations and disadvantages of
those times. He was imclined
to think that with the building
of our vast industries we were
getting away from the community
life, and he trusted that with the
erection of the community halls
throughout the country there
would be a blending of the old
time good fellowship. Ontario
had been fortunate in her early
pioneers in that they were mainly
from the mother country and
brought with them British ideals
and it behooved us of today to
live up to and practise those
principles which had come
down to us.
Rev. G. Telford was then
called on to unveil the Memorial
Tablet the construction of which
had largely been done by him.
It is certainly a work of Art, em-
ploying many hours of patient
labor. He commenced his remarks
by intimating that in the con-
struction of the tablet he had

Elliott, while Mr. J. S. Chellew
supplied the material from which
the tablet was made. 'The act
of unveiling the tablet was an
honour which he much appreciated.
He then paid a fitting tribute
to the worth of those men who
had fought and died and hoped
that the tablet would help future
generations to keep their names
green in their memories. He
then read the names inscribed
on the tablet as follows:

Unusual traffic
hazard in Holland
Chestnuts are a traffic hazard
in Holland. In the area of Betuwe
there are official road signs
warning, VALLENDE KASTANJES
(falling chestnuts). The Ontario
Safety League explains that
when the nuts are ripe drivers
are liable to be startled by a
sudden shower of nuts falling on
the car as they drive under the
shedding chestnut trees.

It was rather a gloomy end' to
1972, with the deaths of scrappy
Harry Truman and that fine
Canadian, Mike Pearson, and
the eternal shootings among the
mad Irish, and the earthquake In
Nicaragua,
So let's get off on the right
foot for the next twelve months
with something a little.lighter,
Some columnists are smart
enough to keep a file of funny
or unusual things that happened
during the previous year, so gist
they have a ready-made column
just after New Year,
The only funny or unusual
thing "around our place is my
filing system, I just took a look
at it, eighteen inches high all over
my desk, picked up my typewrit-
er and moved to the dining -room
table, There's nobody here but
us crumbs,
Whereby 1 decided to pass
along some things that'1 consider
amusing, with the hope that you
will too, They're not original,
and are culled from the cen-
turies,
Here's Stephen Leacock
describing an encounter with a
• pirate ship; "The two ships were
brought side by side. They were
then lashed tightly together with
bag string and binder twine, and
a gangplank laid between them.
In a moment the pirates swarmed
upon our deck, rollingtheireyes,
gnashing their teeth and filing
their nails."
And as he relates the ensuing
carnage; "I noticed one gigantic
ellow brandishing a knotted
and striking right and left
our fellows, until Captain
Bilge rushed at him and struck
him flat across the .mouth with
a banana skin,"
That's the humour of incon-
gruity, Here's an example of the
humour of heartlessness, of
which a master was Harry
Graham. Try writing some of
your own.
The ice upon our pond's" so
thin
That poor Mamma has fallen
In
We cannot reach herfrom the
shore
•Until the surface freezes
more,
Ah me, my heart grows weary
waiting —
Besides, l want. to have some
skating,
Another of his was;
In the drinking -well
Which the plumber built her
Aunt Eliza fell;
We must buy a filter.
Here's a touch of the ironic.
And I'd like to ask my friend Dr.
Hackstetter to please note.
"The denunciation of the
young is a necessary part of the
hygiene of older people, and
greatly assists the circulation of
their blood,"
How about a couple from
Ogden Nash, that great humorist
in verse, This one's entitled
Song Of The Open Road;
I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree,
Indeed, INdCSS the billboards "
fall,
I'll never see a tree at all,
That's typically American in
theme and content, but here's a
little couplet of his that is sym-
THE BLYTH STANDARD, jay. 17, 1973, PG. 15.
Here're some lau
to help your 197
bolic and universal; "
If you hear the scream of a
panther
Don't anther,
!can't resist one more Ogden
Nash, and If you haven't read
him, buy a copy, This,is called
Reflections On Ice -Breaking,
Candy
Is dandy
But liquor
Is quicker,
Then, of course, there's the
epigram, a very brief witty
observation, Its master was
Oscar Wilde, who came to a bad
end, in more ways than one', But
• our sample will be from Hillaire
Belloc, Entitled On His Books.
When I am dead, I hope it
may be said;
His sins were scarlet, but his
books were read,
Isn't that a nice example of
the pun, as well as saying in two
lines something about the mon-
strous pride of the writer?
Here's another by Belloc, It's
called, simply, Epitaph On My
Wife;
Here lies my ►rife.
Here lies she.
Hallelujah!
Hallehtjee!
Then there .is the limerick.
Some of the funniest (and
foulest) verses in the language
are found in this form, But this
is simply clever, or cleverly
simple.
The bottle of perfume that
Willie sent •
Was highly displeasing to
Millicent;
Her thanks were so cold.
They quarreled, I'm told
Through that silly scent Willie
sent Millicent,
The fine art of satire has fallen
into lethargy these days, except
perhaps among political cartoon-
ists, where It is often merely
cruel, rather than witty, But the
Roman satirist, Martial, wrote a
verse that is just as modern as
it was 2,000 years ago.
The golden hair Fabulla
wears
Is hers, Who can deny It?
She swears 'as hers, and true
she swears
For I did see 'her bay It,.
Many Canadians tend to take
life very seriously. Ihope these
samples, ninety "Per cent of
which were taken from school
texts, will help dispel! that preoc-
cupation. So, Whether your
troubles are kids, or parents, or
old people, or unrequited love,
remember, you have,only one
life. And this Is it, Enjoy.
