The large attendance heard that the Goderich town council will seek an injunction against the closing of the hospital. It also heard a request that all those concerned write letters to the Minister of health, Frank Miller in the Hepburn Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, M7A-1R3 to protest the hospital's closure. Meanwhile the minister seems to be reconsidering the move. Mr. Miller said in a telephone interview Tuesday he has met with several groups already and was to meet another Wednesday from the Goderich area to hear out the case. "Their arguments arc impressive," he said, adding that while the time for a final decision is short, he wants to hear all the pros and cons of the planned closing. The health minister announced Dec. 19 that the Goderich hospital would be closed March 31 of this year and all its patients, about 200, • transferred to facilities at London, "I'm quite willing to take their arguments into consideration and present them to cabinet and ask cabinet to share the decision with me," Mr. Miller said. He stressed he is well aware the decision•is not "the average day-to-day, run-of-the-mill decision," Mr. Miller said the final decision after hearing the arguments from Goderich officials will have to be made within a week, but preferably two days. He said that either way things wouldn't be made better because a reversal of the decision to close the hospital would interfere with the plan to provide new resource centre facilities for the mentally retarded in Goderich. At the time of the announcement of the hospital closing, officials said such a centre would be developed and operated by a community- based board of directors. The existing Goderich Psychiatric Hospital with a 230•bcd capacity serves Huron, Perth and Bruce counties and the decision to close it has already been labelled a "vast, retrograde step," by Dr. Michael Conlon, medical director of the hospital. The decision to close the hospital, along with another in the Timmins area, was part of the cost•pruning program announced by Mr. Miller in an attempt to control the spiralling cost of health services in Ontario. The over-all plan will see the closing of up to 3,000 hospital beds across the province and force staff cutbacks of up to 5,000 employees. Mr. Miller said if the hospital were permitted to remain in operation, the money would have to be found elsewhere in the health system or more funds would have to be poured into the system "and I'm told that's impossible." While more than 200 workers would be affected by the Goderich closing, about 63 new workers were to be added to the staff of London Psychiatric Hospital to handle continued on Page 2 WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1976. Editorial Church ,Classified Entertainment Page 4 Page 7 Pogo 14 Page 15 Taxpayers slow in paying up, costs village money Blyth taxpayers have been slow paying their 1975 taxes and it's costing the village money, Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh noted at Monday night's inaugural council meeting of 1976 that $11,145 in arrears are owing of a total billing of $89,636. That works out to 12.4 per cent of the total billing compared to only 7.8 per cent in January 1975. The late payment increased the amount of money the village had to borrow from the bank in a borrowing by-law passed at the meeting. The by-law allows for the borrowing of up to $30,000. Grants owed by the Ministry of Transport and Communications to the village will more than repay the loan when they are received, The MTC owes the village $44,000 on the new drain and some $47,000 is. due from debentures. Council decided to show restraint in its own wages by remaining at the same pay level for the coming year. Salaries for employees were set at $9,70, for. the village foreman and $10,500 for the village clerk treasurer. General labour will be paid at a rate of $3,50 an hour and $4,50 for snowplowing. Grants were given of $25 to the Salvation Army and St, John's Ambulance and $15 to the Ontario Mental Health. Association. Council voted to send a letter to the Blyth Centennial Committee asking for an outline of plans and a budget for the 1977 event, Council will also seek a meeting with Huron County Planning Director Gary Davidson to see if the Blyth Planning Board can go ahead with the preliminary work on the official plan for the village. Correspondence included a letter from the Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity asking for the name of the villages appointee to the Authority for 1976. The letter reported that the present member had attended three of the six meetings held in 1975. Council decided to name William Manning to continue as the village representative. Clerk•treasurer Walsh said that applica- tions were now available for the senior citizens housing project expected to open in September, Reeve reviews 1975 looks forward to 1976 The last three years have seen 27 new houses built in Blyth bringing an additional revenue of $7.8.000 in taxes to the village, Reeve Robbie Lawrie noted in his inaugural address to Blyth Village Council on Monday night. Mr. Lawrie said that this growth in the assessment base has helped offset the cost of inflation but added that this has also meant extra expenses to provide services to the new homes. In looking at the past year the Reeve noted that the long awaited senior citizens apartment building was finally approved and occupancy is expected by September, The situation on the sewage project is still up in the air, however, hesaid. He expressed frustration with red tape involved when he said "It's very hard to deal with bureaucrats and fight city hall." In the field of recreation the Reeve noted that the Lion's Club is planning a bowling green near the new senior citizens apartments and said he understood the recreation committee was negotiating w+th the Huron County Board of Education to use the asphalted portion' of the public school lot for tennis courts this summer. Mr. Lawrie said he hoped to see the Blyth Planning Board become active this year and move to do as much as possible toward creatir►g an official plan for Blyth. The Reeve said that in addition to trying to combat inflationary tendancies the council was going to have to raise money in 1976 for an $8,000 payment on the new drain constructed this year and $2000 on debentures for Memorial Hall. In addition, he said, there must be a new drain constructed from the senior citizens housing project to the existing drain at Wellington street and there are drainage problems that must be reviewed on Dinsley street east and the south end of Morris street. Mr, Lawrie noted the success of the Blyth Summer Festival and said he hoped the centennial committee would soon provide pians and a budget for the village council. L.I.P. project can't find supervisor Commencement of the Local Initiatives Project to improve Memorial Hall Theatre has been delayed because it's hard to find a good carpeneter to supervise the job. Ted Hoogstcen, co-ordinator- of the project for the Blyth Centre for the Arts said that the salaries provided under the project just don't seem to interest most people with any experience. He said his group wanted a conscicncious man to head the project because it wanted a good job done in the Hall. Besides the carpenter there would be four general labourer jobs and one for a part-time secretary. Finding the labourers is not so much a problem, he said, but getting the superviser is the main stumbling block. The project will, if it ever gets going, operate on a $9,600 grant from the LIT. fund, $2,186 from the Blyth Centre for the Arts and a $3,000 grant from village council. Blyth Recreation Committee Monday night approved rental of the Memorial Hall for the 1976 summer season of the Blyth Summer Festival at the rate of $25 per performance for the .theatre and $25 for the downstairs for each performance. Present plans call for a rental of $1500 for the hall over the summer. There will be free rental during rehearsals as last year. PG. 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 7, 1976. Many protest closing of Goderich Psychiatric Hospital Continued from Page 1 the increased work Toad that would have been experienced once the Goderich patients were transferred to London, Mr. Miller said. For the moment at least, everything is up in the air. The health ministry plans further announcements within the next few weeks on bed cutbacks to specific communities, It also has a list of about 25 smaller hospitals around the province slated for possible closure, It was estimated that about a dozen might be closed this year, In his December meeting with hospital officials from across the province, Mr. Miller stressed the importance of the health dollar crisis in the province, He said that even with the planned cutbacks which would hit most areas of the province, the ministry's share of the total 1976 provincial budget would be up by almost $300 million, or 11 per cent over last year. The health budget this year ate up almost 29 per cent of the total budget and Mr. Miller said Ontario has "reached the fiscal limits of possibilities" in terms of being • able to provide anything and everything to meet the public demand, Mayor Deb Shewfelt of Goderich made the announcement of plans to seek an injunction at a rallP of about 750 persons hoping to save the 200•bed hospital and the jobs of its 300 employees, The mayor said lawyer Dan Murphy will be instructed to seek the injunction. He said the injunction will be sought regardless of . the outcome of • a cabinet meeting this' morning at which it is expected the fate of the hospital will be discussed. "We've been muddled around with too much," he said, "We've got to take this action."'. 'The visibly upset mayor also told the rally the town will seek intervention from Ontario ombudsman Arthur Maloney. "I'm sick of politics," he said. "I'm sick of big government meddling with our lives." "We're not pawns •in a chess game, We're going to fight. Let's given the mune hell of a fight," he told a cheering audience.

Miller reconsidering closing of Goderich hospital Continued from Page 2 of speakers at the frequently emotional gathering, attendance at which would read like a Who's Who of Huron County. His continents followed ‘vord from MPP Jack Riddell, (L -Huron -Middlesex), that Health Minister Frank Miller may be swayed from his Dec. 19 announcement that the Goderich facility would close March 31 as part of a provincial plan to reduce health spending. "The door is not completely closed on this yet," Mr, Riddell assured his listeners. The delegates on Wednesday was to include senior hospital administrative staff, Huron County medical officer of health Frank Mills and himself, he said, Mr. Riddell said a meeting Tuesday with Mr. Miller showed the health minister still feels the decision to close the Goderich hospital was "technically right." He is willing to admit he is wrong if sufficient proof is shown to him. The ultimate decision on the fate of the Goderich hospital will then rest with cabinet, Mr. Riddell quoted Mr. Miller as saying. "I'm confident our delegation can convince Frank he is making a mistake," Mr. Riddell said. The rally was organized by Local 122 of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (0P•SEU) which represents 242 of the psychiatric hospital's nearly 300 employees, It was part of a spontaneous campaign OP,P. worried about snowmobile accidents With the advent of early winter snow making conditions ideal for winter sports snowmobile 'opera- tors across the province have taken advantage of the situation and have made an early start on the season's death and injury rate attributed directly to snow vehicles, New snow vehicle legislation has recently been passed by the Ontario Government in an effort to prevent sonie of the needless slaughter caused by snow• mobilers annually. To acquaint the public with some of the important points of the new legislation, the OPP request all snowmobilers to become acquainted with the following: REGISTRATION: All snowmobiles will have to be registered at the nearest licence issuing office, regardless of whether they have been register- ed before, unless the owner has already registered the vehicle for 1976.

INSURANCE: You must be insured under a motor vehicle liabililty policy before driving a snow vehicle on a highway or public wail. whic has ,seen thousands of signatures collectled in Huron, Perth and southern Bruce counties on petitions to keep the 14 -year old hospital open. Charles Darrow, president of OPSFU, said the hospitals has been operating at 90 per cent capacity and has been treating about 1,500 out-patients on a regular basis. He estimated closing of the hospital would mean the $3 million annually paid in salaries to employees would result in a loss of up to $60,000 annually "out of the pockets of town merchants," "We've got to tight all the way to keep facilities open for the benefit of our (union) members and tor the beneht of the communities," he said. Dr. Mills said a missive letter -writing campaign to health ministry might force the government to change its mind. "It's gotten to the point in the ministry of health that we are only dollar signs and no longer people," Dr. Miller charged. "This closing would be a major disaster to health care delivery in this area," he said. Mr. Darrow and Local 122 president Stan Falconer said they hope a citizen committee can be established to fight for the hospital. Mr. & Mrs. McCurdy are on a vacation.

The outcry against new government actions both nationally and provincially has been strong in recent weeks. There is a certain sameness to the government legislation and to the complaints against it. In both cases vre are being protected against ourselves. In both cases Canadians seem to be adding one more right to the long list they feel are their inalienable rights: the right to be stupid. In Ontario the government has been brave enough to finally come out with firm seat belt legislation. The evidence has been overwhelming that seatbelts save lives, yet people in their blockheaded stubborness refuse to buckle up. They can find all kinds of reasons why they are the exception. They grasp at straws to try to prove that scat belts can actually cause injuries, not prevent them. They are like the die-hard smoker who refuses to see the truth behind the evidence that smoking is dangerous to the health. So the government takes action and they scream their rights are being mangled. Better their rights than their bodies. Better their feelines should be hurt than to go on paying the horrible cost, both in terms of human suffering and economic hardship to the t,:xpayer that these needless casualties are causing. The other big stink these'days is about the wage and income controls and the hints by Prime Minister Trudeau that more government regulations might be on the way. The last part in particular has brought screams 61 outrage -from across the nation. As one commentator noted, Mr. Trudeau has been able to do something that no one has been able to accomplish before. bring big business and big labour together on the same side. Mr. Trudeau said that the free market economy is not working. He is quite right. Anyone in his right mind who has observed the mess of the past few years knows the free market is not working. Big business. such as the oil companies, has manipulated the whole international economy. Big labour has held the nation up for ransom time and again. Only the obtuse cannot see that Trudeau is right in his observations. Whether he is right in his prescribed cure or not is something else again. But the fact remains the government is trying to save us from our own stupidity and we're yelling to leave us alone: we have the right 10 be stupid even if the country goes down the drain as a result. Canadians seem to not have grasped the point that if you don't want to have regulations imposed on you, you'd better be ready to make the present system work. We think regulations arc great as long as they help the majority cope with a minority such as when the government imposed rent controls on landlords. Yet when we're acting like mad fools, the government is supposed to let us go our merry way. The only way we can prevent further controls is to prove we're not stupid. Big Brotherism won't happen if the general populace shows enough intelligence to head it off before it gets here. We've hardly been doing that of late. Thanks Canadiens The old year couldn't have ended on a better note and the new year begun more hopefully for several million Canadian hockey fans than with 'the tremendous' international hockey match New Year's Eve between Soviet Central Red Army and Montreal Canadians. Canadians have been filled with self doubt ever since the 1972 Team Canada series with the Russians that our hockey has dropping behind Russian hockey. Even when we won as in 1972 there was the bad after-taste of charges from the Russians of poor sportsmanship and dirty play. The fear of Russian invincibility had been enhanced by two arly easy victories over poorer N.H.L. teams, at least one of those games including some cheapshot play by rough -house hockey players on our side. So the results of the New Year's Eve game was a great boost for morale. Canadiens were clearly superior everywhere but the score sheet. Seldom have we seen such a perfect game played by any team as by the Canadiens, with the exception of Canadien goaltender Ken Dryden who looked far off his usual splendid form. Further, though they had reason to be frustrated at their inability to beat Russian goaltender Vladislav Tretiak, they played at least as cleanly as the Soviets and showed touches of class as when Peter Mahovalich put his big arms around Tretiak after the game. It was a proud moment for Canadians, perhaps more impressive even than the lop -sided win of the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday over the other Soviet team The Wings. It proved the Rissians were not perfect and destroyed the reputation of Canadian hockey as being dirty at the same time. It also showed that international hockey can be a thing to build respect for the other nation, not hatred as in the past. It was fitting that this match should be the only one played before Canadian fans, the rest taking place in American cities. After playing in places like New York, Boston and Philadelphia, the Russians •may think Canadian fans are the greatest. But our typical Canadian reactionwas shown in a scanning of the' • daily newspapers the days after the match. After the New York defeat in the first game of the series there was great hoopla about the excellence of the Russians and the dirtyness of the Ranger players. the Canadians game there was little comment except for the Canadian Press game report. There was little comment about the way Canadiens dominated the game or the sportsmanlike way they played. But wait until after the Philadelphia game and see how much there is printed about the violence in Canadian hockey. T e art gallery - front and back How about a 12 -day Christmas? BY KEITH ROULSTON January 2 may he the saddest clay of the year. It seemed that way for me this year at any rate. It's the day you suddenly have to realize that it's all over for another year. There's something delightful about the whole Christmas season. There's an air of friendship and goodwill about the whole thing; a feeling that for a couple of weeks at least, the routine of the everyday world are laid aside. There isn't the emphasis on the drive for money that usually grips our country. We slow down a little, enjoy life a little, and let tomorrow look after itself. But January 2 is tomorrow. Suddenly we look forward to nothing but several months of work without a vacation to break up the tedium. Suddenly the wind seems a little colder, the snow a little drearier, the nights a little longer. The Christmas tree sat droop- ing in our livingroom, We didn't really want to take it down, to admit that that marvelous time is over, but it had to be done, It looked so sad looking that it was only going to be a reminder where it was, even if it didn't burn the house down from being too dry. So down it came and was thrown out and the decorations packed away for another year. Somehow it's always so much fun to put up the tree to decorate it and even if the kids do break a precious glass ball, what the heck. But when it came down the tempers seem to be closer to the surface, the kids seem more aggrivating and the whole affair is a very un -Christ- mas like event. Christmas seems such a brief and fleeting thing. In this job anyway Christmas never seems to get going until Christmas ever since we've been so busy at work until that last issue of the paper is out. And then, almost before we realize it, it's gone. You get up on Boxing Day and all that lovely Christmas music has been banished from the radio. And you want to cry. In this commercial world it's too much to ask, but I'd like to see us somehow return to the celebration of the 12 days of Christmas. The religious festival of Christmas lasts until January 6 or Epiphany when the wise men were supposed to have visited Christ. We couldn't perhaps have every day for a holiday, but perhaps we could at least have quiet family observance at tl end of each day. The Christen spirit is too good a commodity squander on one day of heel activity. At very least we cou change Boxing Day to the d before Christmas, not the d alter so that people could ha one clay to slow down from the normal parr and to stop ai realize jus( what Christmas is about. Short of bottling tl Christmas spirit. it's one way v can spread it a little farther. CROSSWORD PUZZLE 1 12, Floor Today's Answer ACROSS 1. Curry 5, Proof- reading mark 10. Spoken 11. Habitation 12.

WITTICH BLYTH UNITED CHURCH On a recent television program, "The Great Debate", the subject of debate was "Resolved that the Christian Religion has become Inadequate", One of the points made by the speaker in support of the topic was that, since we think of Jesus Christ as the perfect Son of God, it is almost next to impossible for us who are so imperfect to begin to think of relating to him orhe to us. This point, along with others, was enough to change the audience to vote in favour of the subject. The idea of Jesus as being perfect and therefore quite apart from us was overcome in the Christmas event. John writes in his witness to the gospel, "The Word (Christ) became flesh and dwelt among us." (1:14i, Jesus, the Son of God, in becoming man, took upon him our flesh and became one with us. Through his life in the flesh, he experienced all our weaknesses and temptations, and all the situations of life in which we find ourselves. As a child,`born into a home, where, later • there were other children, he experienced all the tensions of family life. As a youth and young man, he learned responsibility in the home and community, As a man, entered into the ministry of God, he experienced all the trials and triumphs of life with people. As a person devoted to the will of God that led to the cross, he entered into all the sufferings of mankind. As a being, clothed in flesh, he knew what it was to be tired and hungry. to be involved in the everyday concerns of life. Jesus, in his life on earth, did not live a life that was quite apart from ours. And even though he became a human being, entering into our world, he lived a perfect life, a life of oneness with God, a life of wholeness and holiness. The separation that existed between God and man avas overcome in Jesus Christ. He was the Word of God become flesh. And because he entered into our weaknesses and temptations, we arc able to relate to him and conte to him in confidence. knowing that he understands and can help. The writer of Hebrews says, "Because he himself has suffered and been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted." (2:113) Hebrews again says. "We have not a high priest (Jesus Christ) who is ((liable to sympathise with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are. yet without sinning. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace. that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need:" 14:14.16). The Empty Pew Let's protect' man BY_W.

ST. MICHAEL'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH FATHER JOSEPH F. HARDY Mass at Blyth every Sunday it 9 A.M. PG. 8. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 7, 1976. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm a 16 -year-old girl and although I like to pretend to know a lot, I really don't. 1 need an answer to my question and I can't ask anyone because they will put two and two together and get five. Especially my mother, I hope you will reply in the paper because thousands of Minister hopes for fewer snowmobile crashes Fewer deaths and injuries could result if snowmobile drivers continue the trend indicated last winter, says Transportaion and Communications Minister James Snow. "Last winter, between Oct. 20 and Feb. 8, there were 12 fatalities, 252 personal injuries and 115 property damage colli- sions involving snowmobiles, on and off the highway," reports Mr. Snow. "Compared to the same period for the previous season, this was a reduction of 52 per cent in fatalities. 39 per cement in collision injuries and 31 per cent fewer property damage collisions. "It's a sign snowmobilers are showing morc care and common sense when handling their vehicles." said Mr. Snow. "And this year, the new legislation should result in even more control. without dampening the fun of this popular winter recreation." Mr. Snow reminds snow• mobilers the new regulations require all motorized snow vehicles to be registered. There is no charge for this. However, owners who drive their snow- mobiles off their own land must obtain an annual S10.00 permit. Permits purchased after Oct. 1, 1975 are valid until June 30, 1976. To operate a snowmobile alongside or on a highway, the driver must be 16 or older, hold a valid Ontario driver's licence, and the vehicle must be insured. A helmet must be worn on a highway or public trail. The Motorized Snow Vehicles Act prohibits the operation of snowmobiles on the serviced roadway on most King's High- ways which until now has included the roadway and shoulder of a highway. Ecept on those highways where the opera- tion of snowmobiles is totally banned, recent amendments to the Act now permit the operation of snowmobiles on any part of the shoulder which has not been plowed. Mr. Snow suggests it's wise to check local by-laws in the arca where you operate your snow- mobile. "Local municipalities have the right to pass by-laws regulating, governing or prohibiting the operation of snowmobiles within their boundaries, on or off the highway," he stated. One mistake proves costly to girl teenagers must be just as ignorant as I am. Here's what I need to know: Can a girl get pregnant even though it is the very, first time she has had sexual relations? Thanks for your help, Ann. •• Wishing Information DEAR WISLh The answer to your question is yes. And I'm glad you wrote, because your letter gives me an opportunity to quote some startling tigures. Did you know that six out of ten teenage mothers are unmarried or get married just before their babies are born? Over 70 per cent of the pregnant teenage girls interviewed did not use any contraceptives and didn't realize they could become pregnant. More than 55 per cent of the girls said they thought they were too young to become pregnant. Most teenage mothers and their babies face greater health "LISTEN" If a can's contents -spurt out when the can is opened this could be the•result of a pressure build-up in the can by gas produced by bacteria. BEWARE! IT'S RISKY TO TASTE ITt risks than older mothers, Teen- agers who marry as a result of pregnancy are more likely to be • economically disadvantaged and to he divorced. These conclusions were based on statistics from the U.S, Department of Health, Education and Welfare and a survey by the Census Bureau. Maybe I told you more than you wanted to know, but I believe these figures underscore the pressing need for sex education in the public schools. It is apparent that a great many teen-agers get 00 sex education at home. Information docs NOT get young people into trouble. Ignorance DOES, DEAR ANN LANDERS: My wife has a 26 -year-old bachelor brother who is becoming a real pain in the ankle. Six months ago we moved into this great new apartment, My wile gave Horace a key, When I asked her why she did it she said, "Because he might want to stay overnight when he's had too much to drink rather than drive to his apartment on the other side of town."

Everything my generation was brought up to ' respect and admire has become a subject of derision. Everything ' we were taught to despise has become an object of veneration, ' Or so it seems to these rather glassy eyes, There's no denying it's an . /THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 7, 1976. PG. 13. It's a cockeyed world t we live in interesting time to be an inhabitant of till world, Just as it , must have been an interesting time in about 600 A.D. to be a Roman citizen. Raging inflation, vandals at the gates, but free bread and a new smash hit at the Coloseum, bill changed every Thursday. Perhaps the only thing for the sage or the cynic to do, in order to retain his sanity, is to stand on the sidelines and chuckle. The alternative is to stand on the sidelines and sob. 1 prefer to chuckle, with only the occasional, quickly choked sob, 'Tis Show Biz Giant long lived BY VONNIE LEE I don't usually devote part of my column to the little people, , mainly because they can't read anyway and if they could, they probably would rather read comic books! But it has come time to mention one of the wee folks' shows, one of things that Mother says 'thank you' for every day and one of the main reasons why the TV repairman must come immed- iately if not sooner, if a tube blows! Unfortunately, our children, in this day and age, do not have their entertainment carefully chosen for them. Too often, it gets to be a habit-forming, hypnotizing thing, this sitting in front of the sci, for five to eight hours every da'. If they learn something constructive, okay. If they learn something they shouldn't, that's okay too! Just as long as they're out, of our hair!! One of the shows that has fascinated and entertained child- ren for years is "The Friendly Giant" and would you believe it, that show is now 21 years old! In 1954, the series originated from the University of Wisconsin in Madison and was beamed through the National Educational Television network in the United States. Four years later, it was picked up by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and it has been going ever since. Bob Homme was the man who first came up with the idea when he was on the staff at the university radio station in Madi- son. For all 21 years, he has been The Friendly Giant, having a great rapport with wee tots and a wonderful knack for telling stories, with the help of his puppet friends, Jerome the giraffe and Rusty the rooster. Rod Coneybeare is the voice speaking behind those two friends. Homme also writes the material for each show. 1 would suppose some of the children who began watching the show, now are seeing their own families growing up before their eyes, The nice thing about children's series is that they never really become old but like the ever -popular fairy tale, remain just as appealing for us at 40 as they were at four. In this world of haste and hurry, when worry lines come much too soon to the furrowed brow, it is nice to know that some things never change but remain as special as in our childhood, we always knew they would. *** Like almost every other place in this sick old world, Broadway has been hit by a strike, this one by musicians, demanding better working conditions and bigger pay. Settlement was finally reached with the jump from $290 a week to $350 a week, with further increases promised dur- ing the next two years. If a guy is talented enough to play three or four instruments, his wages increase with each additional instrument. All this probably makes you think you'll get out that old trombone and start practising again! But don't kid yourself! Though it may look like these guys work two hours a day and enjoy every minute of what they do without effort, it's no bed of roses. When music becomes a business, it is no longer fun. It is endless rehearsals, problems with other musicians and per- formers, and frustrations like you wouldn't imagine. Yes, 1 guess I'd tootle a flute for $350 a week! But, thank you anyway, 1'd rather rattle a ragtime piano for, nothing • and be beholdin' to no-one!

I'm chuckling with about the same amount . of hilarity as Cassandra, the Trojan princess. She was given by the gods the gift of prophecy, with the proviso (the gods always had a catch in it) that nobody would ever believe her glimpses into the future, Right now, I'm chuckling merrily about the Olympics. About two years ago, and again last year, 1 spelled it out, loud and clear, right in this very space. We were going to be tooken as we have never been tooken before. Just recently, we entered Phase 2 of my predictions. That outstanding Canadian, that huge frog in the big puddle, Mayor Dropout of Montreal, was right on schedule. He dropped out, and turned over a debt of about half a billion (not million, billion) dollars to an even bigger frog in an even bigger puddle, M. Barcassa. The name itself is prophetic; that's the way we're all going to wind up. Phase 3 consists of M. Bareassa handing over the muddle to Pierre FuddleDuddle, the biggest frog in the biggest puddle of all. And I don't think I have to tell you what Phase 4 consists of. If you can't see the handwriting on the wall, either you have a reading disability or you are not a taxpayer. Let me assure my readers, my • assistant department head, Miss Sauve, and my shuffleboard partner, Mr. Chenier, that the foregoing remarks are not racist. I am not even a Zionist. I don't care whether I'm conned by a Jew or an Arab, a Chinaman or a Texan, a Presby- terian, Ukrainian or a black Catholic. All I care about is the fact that I'm being conned, in fact, my liberal and unprejudiced views are known far and wide, with the exception of one Walter Somebody, a Jap in Alberta. One of my best friends in the air force was an American. One of my favorite students is an Australian. 1 mean, how broad- minded can you get! Well, that dispensed with, let's turn to the other examples of our crazy, mixed-up world. Every- thing is either backwards, or upside down. A friend told me this. She is a highly qualified teacher, who quit to have some babies. Recently, she was offered a part-time job, teaching, and was interested, as her babies are past the stage where they require 28 hours of care a day. Her potential employer told her; "We are told you are an excellent teacher. But there is one serious criticism of you. They say you are a disciplinarian." Ten or 15 years ago, a principal who managed to bag a good teacher and a disciplinarian would have been shouting from the rooftops: "Hcy, 1 got me a good disciplinarian." This is how principals talk. It would be the equivalent of a coach a i.nouncing he had just signs Johnny Rodgers or Bobby C Today it's a flaw. She. didn't take the job, and the world is that much shabbier, Still on education, It used to be something you took for one of two „ reasons. It you were rich, you went to college to become well rounded. If you were poor, you went to college so that you would someday be rich and able to send your kids to school to become well-rounded. Not so today. Going to college has become a career. My son-in-law, after 20 years of education, is just starting a five-year course. He'll be a grandfather if and when he graduates. Even closer to home, it's a crazy world. For the first "time in her life, my wife has a weight problem. She's gaining, instead of losing. At the sante time, she has acquired a long -slumbering passion for gourmet cooking. With typical courage, she has tackled both problenis simultan• coulsy. She sits serenely, reading her books on exercise and dieting. Then she tosses them aside and picks up one of her four new cookbooks. She gets all her exercise hustling around the stove, con- cocting something that would turn an eel into a porpoise. The Management of HURON TRACTOR (Exeter) Ltd.

They started out slow this Atoms dump Clinton The Blyth Atones have been playing very defensive hockey of late, but Monday night they went on the offensive. They scored nine goals and (teleated the strong Clinton club 9 • 2. Goal scorers were Kent Howatt with five big goals, Paul Pierce with two and Kurt Whitticld with two. Assists went to Ronnie Howson three, Darryl Chalmers, two; Doug Craig, two; Brent Andrews, one; Paul Pierce, one; and Shane Durnin, on'. In their last 10 games before they met Clinton the team had only averaged two goals per game. Their opposition had averaged three goals per game. Last Saturday in Brussels the boys played another strong game, but came out on the short end of the stick. Brussels won the game two - one in a thrilling ending. The loan goal scorer was Keith Hallam. Pat Cronin has been in the Blyth nets since the season opened. He has sparkled in every game, playing strongly between the pipes. Last Friday afternoon the boys journeyed to Forest for the Annual Silver Stick Atom Tourna- ment. They met Watford in the first game and went down to defeat three • two.
