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.

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 THE BLYTH STANDARD, jan. 17, 1973, PG. 3. 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. 1 OLD TIME VALUES: LATEST FEATURES Westinghouse Value -Priced Refrigerator MODEL RT 140 * Completely frost free ----never any frost build-up * 13,8 cu. ft. of well planned refrigeration. * Full width porcelain crisper & meat keeper.

You are as welcome as the flowers In May 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.

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 BUSINESS DIRECTORY Doreen's Beauty Shoppe STYLING TINTING CUTTING & COLD WAVES DOREEN MCCALLUM' - Phone Blyth Closed'a11 day Monday - Open Tuesday through Saturday Blyth Beauty Bar OPEN TUESDAYS, THURSDAYS, & FRIDAYS Also some Saturday mornings.

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.

THE $LY'TH STANDARD, Jan. 17, 1973. 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.

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 been ably assisted by Mr. Adam 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: Robert Barrett, Charles Brumley, William Buchanan, Austin Camp- bell, James Coultes, Fred Curring, George Davis, Thomas Forbes, Charles Forrest, Thomas Garton, Edward Gray, William Hall, Frank Johnston, Robert Lawson, James McCallum, David Mc- Clinchey, Wesley McCllnchey, Leslie McKinney, Edward Mains, Harry Philcox, Wilfrid Peacock, Joseph Rollan, Thomas Sullivan, Manson Taylor, Arthur Tierney, Earl Watt, Ivan Wightman, Frank Williams, Russel Woods, Louis Stevens. 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.

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. THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO.

In To nzost`people of Blyth:and,',- district''it is only amold building, perhaps'with -a few''fond mem- cries...But the'old CNR.station - on Dinsley Street has become_ something of a"celebrity, Recently friends in Calgary passed along copies of an ,article by Ken Liddell in the Calgary..

It featured a large picture of the station (before it received its recent coat of paint) which was taken by a railway buff from Toronto Elizabeth A. Wilmott who was enthused with what she called the Hensel and Gretal roof of the old station. Mr. Liddell says "Nothing like this would be found anywhere in Western Canada where the country stations were' bulk on an assembly line basis and in the hurrY to get the job done and the land settled. - Miss Willmot located the abandoned Blyth station in the course of 2800 miles of travel in rural Ontario this summer in pursuit of her thobby. Miss Willmot is now combining writing with photo- graphy about dwindling reminders of the past. After a stay she \\rote in the Globe and Mail station icity in Calgary recent years it has been used by a local youth group., who applied a coat of paint this fall to spruce it up. The Old CPR station off West- morland Street near Bainton's is also more picturesque than ' the usual camtry station and is now being used as a warehouse. Both buildings are in remarkably good condition considering they have not been used for years. _•' �.r._ h-% (eto I HuIIeItCenlral News A turkey dinner was held on Friday, December 22, in the First auto accident in 1896 The first known automobile accident in the U.
