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. PG, 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 18, 1975.

'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.

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.

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. A summer morning by the Maitland Those were the 5. years ago JUNE 17, 1970 A memorial electric organ was dedicated by Rev.

Mr. Charles Stewart informs the Standard that Rev. J.T. White, former minister of the Londesboro charge of the United Church is enjoying excellent health for a man of 81 years. Only last Sunday he returned to his home church at Birr to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his ordination. Over 350 guests attended the mutual birthday party in Auburn Memorial Hall for Messrs.

The Directors have secured the Holstein Friesian Black and White Show to be held in Conjunction with the Blyth Fall Fair this year. 50 years ago JUNE 25, 1925 With the evening service of last Sunday the ministry of Rev. Albert C. Tiffin, pastor of Queen Street United Church, Blyth came to an end. The service itself was impressive and the number of worshipers present and their close attention to the service ! spoke of the esteem in which the retiring pastor was held by his congregation. Mr. Tiffin came to Blyth four years ago from Watford, "The best yeti" was the verdict of the younger folk at the Garden Party of St. Andrew's Church last Wednesday. "The most successful for years!" was the more modified praise of the older folk and to which everyone present agreed. THE UYTH STANDARD, JUNE 18, 1975. PG. 5. Huronview residents take part in annual spring drive The Huronview float that was prepared for the Clinton Spring Fair parade and to have featured the Rythm Band was cancelled clue to the extreme cold weather. We would like to express our appreciation to Archers Farm Supply for the loan of the float and to the residents and staff who helped to prepare it.

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 appreciated and enjoyed by everyone. Mrs, Henderson, Jill Weately, Bob Mann and Ken Scott provided the "Family Night" program. The program included piano instrumentals, violin and guitar solos and a sing -a -long.

Number 10: of course you have the RIGHT to say you don't care, but that doesn't mean you 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 me. Hullett Happenings SCHOOL DANCE An enjoyable dance was held 'for grades seven and eight on Thursday, May 29.

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. No c Whe The phar ment.

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, *** One of the more'pleasant duties I have as your Member of Provcincial Parliament is to present Commemorative Scrolls to constituents celebrating their 90th birthday, or over, and 50th wedding anniversaries. If you have ' any relatives or friends celebrating these mile- stones 1 would appreciate you letting me know so that I can order and present the appropriate scrolls.

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. Vanastra swimathon scheduled for Saturday The Vanastra Parks, Recreation and Community Centre Board announce plans for a fun filled Swim-a-thon, Saturday, June 21 at the Vanastra Recreation Centre. The Swim-a-thon is being organized by the Aquatics Direc- tor Mr. Harold Whitlock and the Facilities Manager Mr. Rene Brochu. Mr, Whitlock stated that preliminary demand for pledge forms has been quite heavy. These pledge forms for anyone wishing to participate may be picked up at the Recreation Centre Snack Bar of from Mr. Brochu. Swimmers will enter the pool at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon with changes being made as required. Pledges are based on 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 awarded to the person getting the greatest amount pledged per length, and the person bringing in the largest amount of money. The swim-a-thon is open to all residents of the County with swimmers now entered from Clinton, Tuckersmith, Exeter, Hensall, Seaforth, and Goderich. Proceeds from the Swim-a-thon goes to paying for Swimming Pool and Gymnasium Equipment as 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!
