Board of Education supports
new government bill
The board voted to support the new
provincial Bill 100 now under discussion in
the Ontario Legislature.
They were asked specifically by the
Ontario Trustees Council for their opinion
on Clause 9 regarding the right of
principals and vice -principals to participate
in collective bargaining and the right to
strike with teachers.
Bill 100 in its present state says
principals and vice -principals cannot
strike.
Vice -Chairman Herb Turkheim said he
felt strongly on the issue, He added "We
consider principals as adminstrators and
their place is in the schools. We complain
that we don't have proper legislation, so
let's not argue about it and let the
government go ahead,"
Trustee .Bob Peck said the concensus of
opinion at the recent trustee convention
seemed to support the bill.
Director D. J. Cochrane said, "There is a
difference between a lock -out and closing
schools during a strike. We could still
operate during a lock -out but we would
need the principals."
Problems of helping students
discussed by guidance teachers
BY ROSS HAUGH
The guidance heads of the five
secondary schools in Huron County met
with the education committee of the Huron
Board of Education Monday night to
discuss mutual problems.
In beginning the discussion director of
education D. J. Cochrane said there is
sometimes a misunderstanding or differ-
ence of opinion on what guidance really is.
Gord Smith of Central Huron said,
"about 75 per cent of my time is spent in
handing our information. I see myself as
the students' advocate or lawyer against
the system."
On the topic of guidance information,
Jack ' Seaman of Goderich commented,
"The chances of misinformation are very
slight. The problem is when students only
hear what they want to hear."
Jack Kopas of Wingham asked the
trustees, "Do you think guidance
counsellors should become more visible.
To. this vice-chairman Herb Turkheim_
replied, "parents seem .to think students
should walk into the guidance office and be
told what they should become. Guidance
people should get out and tell about the
service. They could be available for public
speaking."
Ken Laughton of South Huron said,
"The students have great expectations of
the guidance departments. This goes for
parents, too. Liasion is a very important
function of our job. We attempt to relate
the students to their aims.
Trustee Bob Elliott and Charlie Thomas
expressed concern over students dropping
vital subjects during their school years thus
shutting the doors to some types of
university courses.
They were told by the guidance heads
that parents must sign any consent to drop
subject forms.
Elliott replied, "I knew there is so much
public apathy. The onus is on parents, but
the problem is to get them to accept it."
To this Jack.Kopas of Wingham added,
"There is a greater need for us to explain
the situations to parents."
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1975,
Taxes go up 5.97
mills though local
rate holds steady.
Blyth taxpayers will be paying a higher
tax bill this year, but it could have been
worse.
The higher bill is mainly due to
increased levies from the school board and
the country government. The fact the bill
isn't higher is due to an increased
assessment for the village and an increase
in grants from senior governments.
The rate for general purposes for the
village of Blyth stays virtually the same at
42.38 compared to 42.12 for residential.
The commercial rate actually drops from 51
mills last year to 49.86 this year.
The county rate, however, jumped from
27.76 mills last year to 29.01 mills this year
for residential and from 27.76 to 34.13 for
commercial.
The elementary rate will be 23.25
compared to 18.52 for residential last year
and 25.83 compared to 20.57 for
commercial. For secondary schools the rate
is 18.33 compared to 18.60 for residential
last Year and 20.37 compared to 20.67 for
commercial.
The biggest julep will Lyme to separate
school supporters who will face a 27.20 mill
rate this year compared to only 5.57 last
year.
The total rate for public school supportes
this year will be 112.97 for residential and
130.19 for commercial compared to 107 and
120 fast year. Itmeans an increase of
$11.94 in taxes. on the average house
assessed at $2000. The rate for separate
school supporters will be 116.92 compared
to 94.05 last year for residential.
Blyth Clerk Treasurer Larry Walsh
explained the assessment in the village
increased by more than $35,000 in the past
year with a jump from $719,905 to $755,245
with most of the jump coming in residential
but small increases in commercial and
business assessments.
Provincial government subsidies for this
year will total $44,039 compared to $37,972
last year.
in addition, the council entered last year
with a $4,757 deficit from 1973 while it
carried a $4,874 surplus into 1975. The
surplus enabled council to keep its own mill
rate down, Mr. Walsh said, without
seriously curtailing projects for the coming
year. The only planned project that has
been set aside, he said, arc plans for a
trailer park for the village.
The budget for the coming year,
including levies to the county and school
boat ds is . for $150,233 compared to
$125,651 last year. Included in the budget
is total payment for the new public works
department truck. Earlier plans had been
for spreading payment over two years.
George Bailie,
former reeve dies
George Bailie, former reeve of Blyth
died June 12, 1975 in Wingham and
District Hospital after suffering an acute
heart failure. He was in his 72nd year.
Mr. Bailie served' as reeve of Blyth in
1971 and 1972. He had served as a
councillor in the village for several years
prior to becoming reeve.
He was born on October 7, 1903 in
Belfast, Northern Ireland, He was married
to the former Mary Isabella Quinn. He was
an active member. of many community
groups. He had been caretaker of Blyth
Union Cemetery for many years. (For fuller
obituary details see next week's news-
paper).
Memorial Hall hectic spot
as rehearsals proceed
Rehearsals for the first season of the new
Blyth summer theatre are now well
underway and Memorial Hall theatre has
become one of the busiest places in town.
Rehearsals for Mostly in Clover are
taking place during the day time beginning
at 10 a.m. every morning and last until
after 5 p.m. After a break for supper the
cast is back at work for the production of
The Mouse Trap.
Several local amateur actors are involved
in the productions along with the
professional actors. Artistic Director James
Roy says he has been delighted with the
work of the local people involved. Mark
Battye will play the part of Harry as a boy
in Mostly in Clover. Involved in The
Mousetrap are Media McElroy, a veteran
of the Memorial Hall stage since
childhood; Don Nicholson, an actor and
director in Blyth Little Theatre produc-
tions, and Pat Hulley.
The cast of Mostly in Clover visited the
old Boyler homestead on Saturday and
acquainted itself with the St. Augustine
area.
Meanwhile those familiar with Memorial
Hall as it has looked for recent
presentations will soon see some changes
when the new productions open. An
excellent lighting system is being installed
for the summer season. New scenery is
being constructed for the two plays. There
is also a hope that; the new main curtain,
supplied by the Blyth Legion may be
installed before opening night.
New blinds are also to be put on the
windows to allow the building to be
darkened during the long summer
evenings.
Mr. Roy reports that financially the drive
to raise funds has been going well with
about $1500 donated or pledged from the
Blyth area. A good deal of money is still
needed, however, to make the first season
of the play a success. Donations can be
sent to Blyth Centre for Arts, Blyth.
Free rabies clinic
set for Thursday
Rabies in animals in Huron County
continues to be a problem, says Dr. W. J.
Thompson, of the Department of Agricul-
ture. The number of confirmed cases
during 1974 was 39 for the period. This
figure was 71 confirmed cases for the same
period in 1973. The 39 animals were
comprised of the following: Bovines, 18;
Dogs, 4; Foxes, 9; Skunks 5; Horses, 1
During the past 8 years, except 1974,
Agriculture Canada, Health of Animals
Branch, in co-operation with the Huron
County Health Unit, has sponsored free
Anti -Rabies Vaccination clinics for dogs
and cats in the county. The sponsoring
groups have therefore, decided to again
hold Anti -Rabies Vaccination clinics in
1975, in an attempt to lim►t the spread of
rabies to dogs and cats from wild animals,
particularly skunks. and foxes,
A special free vaccination clinic will be
held at the Fire Hall, Blyth on Thursday,
June 19 from 2.8p.m.

The Yanks don't deserve anti-American
feelings of Canadians
snotty hotel desk clerks: religious
fanatics; ripolf artists in the social
services; the Receiver -General of
Canada; most administrators;
most people who slake more
money than I do, I could fill a
column,
This should make me a very
distut•he(I young man. I use the
term advisedly. How corns
everyone is getting old but you
and me?
Fortunately, this has not
happened. 'There are so many
things 1 like that 1 ant usually in a
state of happy balance, like a fat
lady going 011 0 dict of ice cream
sundaes.
However, there is one thing in
this country that gravels me
thoroughly. It's a nasty thing,
spreading Tike 0 cancer, as
difficult to fight, and just as fatal
to the people infected,
That thing is the steady growth
in this county, fostered by a
small, often vicious, but vocifer-
ous minority. ()I' Anti -American-
ism.
I don't think it has yet grown to
uncontrollable proportions in the
corpus ('ana(Iiensis, and I hope it
can he cut out with some rigorous
surgery in the right places.
It's a creepy, crawling busin-
ess, and the healthy mind can he
smeared with it subtlely, without
even, noticing its existence.
It's hated to pin down. You can
find it among politicians, and in
varying degrees ()I' shrillness
throughout the media,
Many honest nationalists are
taken in, and eventually find that
their pride in things Canadian has
been warped into Americanism.
Let there be no mistake, '!'here is
no real connection. The former is
healthy. The flitter is sick.
This has always been a country
loaded with prejudice, whatever
you may think. A couple of
generations back, the Anglo-Sax-
ons of this fine free country of
ours looked down their noses,
even though their -own back-
ground was an Englistl slum, a
Scottish croft or an Irish shanty,
They spoke bluntly and dispar-
agingly of lesser breeds. Ger-
mans and Scandinavians were
Squareheads, Italians were Wops
Or Dagoes. French were neither
Canadian nor Canadien, They
were Frogs or Peasoupers,
Everybody from Eastern Europe
to the Ukraine was a Hunkie. A
Wad person was a Nigger, And a
.few? Well, a .few certainly wasn't
Jewish. 1 -ie was "just a .few."
The only thing lower than any of
these categories was a woman.
Think I'm romancing? It
sounds pretty ugly, doesn't it?
But I was there, gentle reader,
and so were many of you.
With education, enlighten-
ment, and a line performance by
most of those lowly immigrants,
cants 0 change in atmosphere. It
became fashionable to be "toler-
ant," 0 word, that has always
made me squirm.
But not before the private
schools, and the, law societies an(i
the medical schools and the golf
clubs had had their Wasps -only
barricades knocked down. it was
ugly in this country.
The grandchildren of those
earlier prejudiced people showed
a remarkable lack of that
narrowness. Canada was becom-
ing an Oasis of freedom kr the
individual. People were leaning
over backward to prove they were
liberal and "tolerant."
And now all that narrowness
and secret hatred seems to be
channeling itself into Anti -Amer-
icanism,
People in this country talked
endlessly about Watergate, as
though such a sewer of corruption
were peculiar to Americans. They
sniggered about the antics of
American leaders.
There was a particularly nasty
type of something near gloating
when the Americans pulled out of
Vietnam.
There was and is a proliferating
of popular articles about the
Americans owning- Canadian in-
dustry, buying up Canadian
property.
Let's put an end lo this slimy
business. Let's look at our own
dredging scandals and lawless
unions.
Let's stop secretly cheering
when the Yanks get a bloody nose
somewhere.
It's not their fault that they're
rich and powerful. They didn't
seize our industry. We sold it to
there.
France and Britain virtually
ignored Canada when this coon•
tru was abuilding. We owe them
nothing.
We could have a lot worse
neighbors than the Americans; in
fact almost anyone I can think of.
Anti•Anlericanism is chiefly
petty envy, and is found only
among those who are petty and
envious, We're too big kr that,

Ugliness and foolishness
Nothing since the vicious days of the F.L.Q. movement in Quebec
has brought out as much ugliness to the Canadian scene as the present
hearings 00 the Green Paper on Inlnr.tgration bring h01d across
C':urada.
The hearings are supposed to he a 0001, considered debate on the
question of just what direction Canada should be (leading in. Since
nearly all out, growth now conies in the foram of immigration the
hearings are really examining just how big a country Canada wants to
become.
But the hearings have been a subject of "racist" claims by groups
opposed t0 any change in the present wide open immigration policy.
The stornniest scenes came in Toronto last week, the city where
tensions run highest over the whole matter. Immigrant groups,
particularly blacks and Asians seem to feel the changes in immigration
policy proposed arc particularly aimed at their brothers who might
want to Dome to Canada. They picketed the hearings in Toronto daily
and were in attendance to argue against tougher standards. But the
most ridiculous point was reached when opponents of the immigration
standards shouted down representatives of the Western Guard, a lvhitc
supremicist group based in 'Toronto.
A group made up of Marxist -Leninists shouted "Fascists have no
right to speak" for 45 minutes while the Western Guard leader tried to
deliver a brief to the hearing, completely drowning out what he had to
say. Just about as bad were members of the hearing board, Andrew
Brewin of the N.D.P. and Monique Begin and Robert Kaplan of the
Liberals who left the room because they refused to listen to the
Western Guard Arguments.
Lincoln Alexander, the black Conservative from Hamilton seemed to
be one of the few in the room who showed much sense when he said he
would listen to the brief even though he could never agree with the
point of view and found the Western Guard movement a disgrace.
The whole mess stunk. What is this country coming too when a
group, however disagreeable, is denied the right to speak? What can
be more fascist than a group such as the Marxist Leninists refusing to
let the arguments of their opposites be heard? If this is an indication of
the state of Canada today, perhaps there is a good argument for
tougher immigration laws. Better still how about retroactive legislation
to let us kick out some of the idiots, whether they came here two
months ago or their ancesters came here two centuries ago?
Not what we do,
but what we say
Beryl Plumptre's recent advice to shoppers worred about the scare
over tainted meat finding its way to their diningroom table showed one
of the great ironies of our lifestyle.
If shoppers were worried about the quality of their meat, Mrs.
Plumptre said in her position as chairman of the Food Prices Review
Board, they should buy their meat from a large reputable supermarket
chain. These companies were not going to mess around with bad meat
while small stores might.
131g business, to listen to most people, is the enemy of the people.
Politicians, particularly of the N.D.P.are always taling about how big
business is "ripping off" the Canadian people. Mrs. Plumptre herself
has taken a whack at the big food chains for their practices. Politicians
seeking election always seem to/be urging aid for the small
businessman who is battling to survive,
But while we talk about how great the small businessman is and how
terrible big business is, when it#comes time for action we do just the
opposite. Mrs. Plumptre probably helped to put some good, reputable
small businessmen out of business with her statement. The ordinary
Canadian shopper seems to far prefer Towers and Loblaws to the
locally owned department store or supermarket. If you were on a trip
and there were two "fast food" restaurants side by side and one had a
name you'd never heard of before and the other was called
MacDonald's, which'would you go to: five to one says it would be the
latter. The majority of Canadian housewives would rather drive 20
miles to an A&P or Dominion store to save five cents on a loaf of bread
than support the local independent grocer.
Ar.d governments? Well, despite all the pious talk about the need for
aid to small businessmen there isn't a scrap of evidence that the
politicans give a damn other than come election time. Some time ago
after an editorial in this newspaper we received a letter from Senator
Keith Davey stating that there was a growing feeling in Ottawa that
something had to be done to help the small businessman. Yet there
hasn't been a whisper of any help since then.
There is still nocompensation for the wives of businessmen.whaput
in. long hours but can't be paid. There is no effort to change capital
gains laws to give a more equitable break to the farmer or small
businessman who may work 20 years to build up the value of his
business and then has to pay out in one year the tax on the
improvements. There are hundreds of small business complaints that
go unnoticed.
Meanwhile the governments of all levels are busy handing out grants
left and right to encourage big businesses to get nigger—often at the
expence of smaller businesses. And to make platters worse, many of
the big companies arc foreign companies who are trying to take over
more of the Canadian market,
Small business is a sort of sacred cow, like the family farm and the
small town way of life, and motherhood. It sounds great: nice and
romantic and solid sounding. A great thing for political speeches. But
atter elections are over who the heck cares until the next election.

several additions.
The annual spring drive spons-
ored by the Exeter United Church
was held on Monday evening.
Twenty-five cars were provided
which took over 100 residents on
the two hour drive to various
places in the County. The weather
was ideal and the outing was

DEAR READER: Here's your Bill
of Rights. Some of them I buy,

Number 2 is off -base, and
number 3 I would accept -- to a

As for number 8, I don't dig it.
Number 10: of course you have
the RIGHT to say you don't care,

SHOULDN'T care.
DEAR ANN LANDERS:I feel as if
I have been totally abandoned by
my parents. I'm not a child,Ann.
I'm 31 years old and have five
youngsters of my own, This is
why you will probably consider
my letter strange.
My parents are in their early
50s and in good health. They live
25 miles away. They rarely call
me on the phone. When I call
them they are cordial and
friendly. Once or twice a year my
dad will write me a letter.
The problem is they do not like
my husband and were very
displeased when I married him.
My kids beg to go to Grandma
and Grandpa's house. I don't
want to tell them why we can go
only when Daddy is out of town,
which is about three times a year.
Mom calls before each child's
birthday to ask what to send. The
gift then arrives in the mail.
Yesterday our eldest son told
me he had a dream that he tried
to walk to Grandma and Grand-
pa's house but it was too far and
he couldn't make it. This really
hurt my heart. 1 didn't need an
analyst to interpret that dream for

Ontario'residents not receiving Old Age Security.
If you are 65 or older, and have lived in Ontario for
at least the'past year but less than 10 years, you too
are entitled to Ontario's prescription drug benefits.
But because we don't know who you are, you'll have
to apply for the drug benefit card — at your pharmacy
or from the Ministry of Health. After you're enrolled,
you'll automatically receive your drug benefit Card.
Here's how Drug Benefit works.
There are more than 1,500 prescription drugs
listed in the Ministry of Health's Drug Benefit Formu-
lary. When you visit a physician or dentist, tell him you
qualify for the Drug Benefit so that he can prescribe
medication from the Formulary. Then, give your Drug
enefit Card to the pharmacist. Your pharmacy will
k • : p your card. But you can have it returned - in
cas you move or want to go to a different pharmacy.
Effective August 1, we have a new law in Ontario.
It will allow almost everyone who is 65 or older and
has been an Ontario resident for at least the past 12
months to receive most prescription drugs free.
That means prescriptions written by physician or
dentist and filled in Ontario. Only those drugs listed in
Ontario's Drug Benefit Formulary are free.
Here is who is eligible:
Ontario residents who receive Old Age Security.
If you are 65 or older and are presently receiving
an Old Age Security cheque from the federal goy
ernment, you will automatically receive your new
Drug Benefit Eligibility Card before August 1. (And, of
course, if you are already getting a drug benefit card,'
you will continue to get one.) You doet't have to do
anything about it.

Provincial Government Feds. to
ban aluminum wiring
BY MURRAY GAUNT
M.P.P. [HURON.BRUCE]
The Ontario Government has
asked the Federal Government to
put a moratorium on the sale of
aluminium wiring because of the
"possible hazards" although
Ontario Hydro has not stopped
using the metal which is much
cheaper than copper.
Consumer and Commercial
Relations Minister Sidney Rand-
leman told the Legislature that
the request for a federal
moratorium has not met with any
success and he is currently
studying whether amendments to
Ontario's building code could
accomplish the same effect.
***
U.S. workers living near the
Ontario border may be moving
into the Province to take
advantage of $1,500 grants
offered to first time home buyers,
Revenue Minister Arthur Meen
conceded. He was correcting a
statement by Treasurer, Darcy
McKeough who told the Legislat-
ure U.S. citizens were not eligible
for the grants because they were
not Canadian citizens. Mr, Meen
said citizens of any country who
are residing in Ontario are
eligible for the grants.
***
Allowances paid to injured
workers under the Workmen's
Compensation Act are to be
increased by the Provincial
Government on July 1st.
***
The Maximum rate of compen-
sation payable to injured workers
will rise 25 per cent to $216.35
from $173.08 a week, represent-
ing 75 per cent of the ceilings on
earnings which will be raised to
$15,000 a year.
The absolute minimum for
permanent total disability will be
increased to $400 from $260 a
month.
Pension increases to dependent
widows will go up 10 per cent to
$286 a month, a dependent's
child's pension will rise to $77 a
month.
Burial allowance will go from
$500 to $600 and the initial lump t
sum payable to a widow for
! incidental expenses will be
increased to $600.
The changes will cost $108.2
million,

club open to new

With the corning of warm

and promises to be another
successful season. Vanastra is
indeed fortunate in having one of

surrounding communities such
•as, Seaforth, Hensall and Exeter.
The gates are locked, but upon
payment of membership fees, the
players receive the combination
to enter the tennis courts at any
time they desire. There 'are very
few rules - courtesy being the
foremost rule. Waiting time is
restricted to half an hour, no
obscene language or alcoholic
beverages are permitted inside
the court area. Members are
expected to police themselves.
The instructional period of time
consists of three or four consecu-
tive sessions on Thursday at
approximately 6:30 p.m.
commencing June 12th. Mr. Ken
Clynick of Clinton, a competent
instructor, has kindly consented
to assist beginners and to coach
others who may need assistance.
Anyone wishing further infor-
mation may contact the Facilities
Manager at 482-3544.

Dear Olive and Torrance
We have gathered here to-
night to congratulate you and
spend a few social hours on the
occasion of your 40th wedding
anniversary.
The first years of your married
life were spent in the Blyth area.
We were happy when you decided
to return to our community,
bringing with you your blonde
curly haired daughter, Olene.
Olive, you have been an active
worker in church groups, and
always a willing helper with the
bazaars, suppers, quilting bees.
Christmas parties and other social
gatherings. You have also been
an active member of the
Women's Institute since its
organization. Perhaps most imp-
ortant were your four years at
Buttons school where many
children received their early
education under your guidance
and teaching.
Torrance, you have helped. in
many church organizations and
community projects. At the rate
you mow the lawn and shovel the
snow we feel you could still be a
super star on the football field.
Your 'love of travelling has
taken you many miles from home
to Europe, China, Japan, Hawaii,
Mexico and other interesting
places. You have shared these
experiences by showing us
pictures and slides of these
outings.
Our warmest wishes go out to

Vacationers
cautioned
Before you take your dog on
vacation, make sure he's had his
rabies shot. For safety's sake,
Ontario Ministry.. of Agriculture
and Food extension veterinarian
Dr. H.J.Neely advises that the
family pet be vaccinated at least
10 days before departure.
Dr. Neely says: "In most parts
of Ontario, rabies is endemic in
our wildlife. It's possible for the
tamily pet to be fascinated by
foxes and skunks, which are:•
mainly responsible for the tram-
mission of rabies to pets,"
He issues a strong warning to
parents to keep their children
away from foxes .rind skunks.
These animals assume abnormal
behavior if infected with rabies.
Under normal circumstances,
they will try to avoid people but
when infected, they become
aggressive and more into inhabit-
ed areas.
"In recent years, it has been
found that some bats are also
capable of spreading the disease.
Usually the bats are nocturnal
and are not infrequent visitors to
the campfire," the veterinarian
says. "The important thing is to
try to avoid them, but. if you are
exposed to a bite or scratch,
consult a physician
immediately."
The rabies virus is transmitted
through the saliva of a rabid
animal Call a physician promptly
if anyone comes in contact with it.
Dr, Neely emphasizes that any
animal suspected of having rabies
must be reported to the nearest
office of the Health of Animals
Branch, Agriculture Canada,
Ottawa.

BY KLIT11 ROULSTON
I don't know about you, but I
often get the idea I was born both
too early and too late.
1 mean it's plagued nnc all my
life. I remember how it hit back in
public school days. Those were
the clays when every spring all the
schools of our area took an annual
trip to somewhere in the
province; the one i remember
most vividly is one to Niagara
Falls. In those days before the
demise of the passenger train, a
joint effort was made by the
schools and several additional
cars were added to the old C.N.R.
passenger train than rambled
through the farmland of the area.
The rub, was that the train
excursion was only for those
above a certain grade in school,
grade five or six, 1 can't
was born too late ... but too early too
remember which, 1 was too young
to make the grade. It particularly
stung one year because 1 had
fallen madly in love Milt a girl at
a St. Valentine's Day skating
party. I carried a torch that \'as
enough to scorch a fire lighter's
asbestos suit for several months.
As the day for the trip grew
nearer I realized in horror that the
girl, who was a year ahead of me
in school, would be making the
trip but I would be staying home.
It was with a very heavy heart
that I watched the old train with
all those extra cars filled %vith
celebrating school friends chug
up the grade on the tracks that
ran through the back end of our
farm. My imagination ran wild as
to what was going on the train,
particularly with one special
blonde girl.
Well, it was even worse than
my imaginings, The day after the
trip all my older friends were
telling gay stories about the
wonderful time they had had. One
"friend" in particular had a
wonderful time to relate. He and
my blond heart-throb, it scents,
had .found love in Niagara Falls.

Brochu.
Swimmers will enter the pool at
1:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon

the number of lengths completed
by the individual swimmer. Mr.
Brochu has stocked additional
refreshments to allow all partici-
pants free pop.
Prizes are being offered as
follows: For the most lengths, up
to 10 years of age; up to 14 years
of age; up to 50 years of age; over
50 years of age.
Additional prizes will be

greatest amount pledged per
length, and the person bringing
in the largest amount of money.
The swim-a-thon is open to all

swimmers now entered from

Proceeds from the Swim-a-thon
goes to paying for Swimming Pool

well as enlargement of the
Change Room Facilities.
The June 21st date corresponds
with the registration date for the
next 12 week program for
Swimming Lessons, Fitness
Classes, and Tennis Club
Membership at the Vanstra
Recreation Centre.
Could it be that's wlty i never
enjoyed train travel?
Anyway, by the next year when
1 was looking forward to being
part of the exciting excursion
train and maybe finding a new
romantic interest along the way. I
began to doubt that fates were on
niy side, however, when they
cancelled the excursion. It was
the last time they ever held that
excursion.
This same sort of thing plagued
me when 1 got to high school. 1
remember an assembly in my first
year of school. 11 was a very
impressive occasion when before
all the assembled students those
students who the year before had
earned athletic honours or had
been honour students academic-
ally were handed out athletic
letters or honours crests, I envied
these older students the honours.
was a pretty shy, self-conscious
kid anyway and needed all the
moral boosting 1 could get so the
thought of winning this public
honour was an impressive one.
Well, that year in grade nine
Iwas' an honour student. You
guessed it, the next year they
didn't hand out the honour crests.
The sante went for grade 10
andl 1 and 12. During those years
I was also a member of the school
basketball volleyball and bad-
minton teams but there were no
honours for those sports either...
just for track and field where I
could hardly lift a shot put, ran
like my grandmother and found it
hard to jump out abed, let alone
jump over the high jump.
But in my last year of school 1
fell from the honour lists. Yep,
:hey handed out honour crests
:hat year.
Now I've never been a fan of
IOCLAMATIOI
Shakespeare: an overzealous
English teacher who thought
Shakespeare, like the Bible
should be Bisected line by Zine to
find sonic secret meaning took
care of that interest. Just the
same the annual school trip to
Stratford for the Festival's
studcnl productions was one Of
those breaks from the tedium of
school that 1 looked forward to,
had a suspicion that the old jinx
might strike again but everything
seemed to point to success when
_we delivered our money for
Iick els anti rearranged our
schedule. But then mysteriously
the trip was cancelled and our
money refunded. Struck out
again.
Anyway, that was long ago,
right? Surely the same sort of
thing can't be happening today.
Well, not exactly but a lot like if, I
get the feeling I should have been
horn 10 years earlier when I take
a look at the cost of things today,
particularly the cost of housing.
'fen years ago you could build a
brand new hosts{ around here for
under $20,000. What's more the
mortgage on the louse would
likely be about seven or eight per
cent. Today a nrw house under
$30,000 is just about an impossi-
bility. And the interest rale on the
amount is likely tit be about 11 or
12 per cent, if, you can get a
mortgage at all. So it scents I was
born too late.
But wait, I was also born too
early. The government, recogni-
zing the situation is trying to help
young families get started by
giving out a first-time homebu; •
ers' grant. The problem is 1
bought an old house two years
ago so I ' can't get that grant
either.
Ah well,` c'est la vie!
