He said the upcoming election was another example of the Conservative government's fiscal irresponsibility. He called the election a "blantant grab for power" and said that the minority government had been working. He said that the province's deficit is so great that it now must spend $1 billion per year just to pay the interest. Guest speaker for the evening was Hugh Edighoffer, the Liberal M.P.P. from Perth. Mr. Gaunt, who has won the riding handily: for the last several elections, will face Sam McGregor a Kincardine developer for the Conservatives and Dave Zyluk a Kincardine teacher for the New Democratic Party. N.D.P. names school principal as candidate The New Democratic Party will be represented by a 29 -year-old school principal in the June 9 provincial election. Anthony (Dave) Zyluk, principal of Kingsbridge Roman Catholic. School was nominated last" Thursday night ' at the nominating meeting held in Tiverton. He is a resident of .Kincardine; • 'Mr, Zyluk came to Canada from Ireland• in 1967. He began supporting the N.D.P. in 1972, J There were only 18 persons at the meeting, including six reporters. Mr. Zyluk will face Liberal incumbent Murray Gaunt and Kincardine developer Sam McGregor who represents the Conservatives.: He said that Mr. Gaunt was a good man but his party:wasn't,, He said,he hoped the • . voters would listen 'to the issues' in the campaign and not just the backbiting. ullett council .approves severence for bus garage Spring has come In a big way this 'week and outdone,, young DavidHessels,son PorMr. and he'wicld a wheelbarrow with the best of them; many' people are', out gardening.

No wonL'er our kids think it's okay to 'kill the other guy'; they learnit from the pros! *** ✓ One of the finest shows shown •-•on.Jhe CBC Television network this past season was a Norman Campbell production of the ballet, "Giselle". It starred the lovely Karen Kain, a principal dancer with the National Ballet of Canada, and her on -and -off- stage love, Frank Augustyn, who is the son of a Hamilton steel -worker. They were the .pair who wowed audiences in Moscow this past winter and that is success in any man's language. The British Broadcasting Cor- poration purchased the produc- tion from the CBC and showed it I in Britain in ' April. Top., entertainment from Emmy -award winner Campbell, "Giselle" is another of his masterpieces, great vehicles for the talent of the National company, The company has now begun its Ottawa season and will tour Western Canada later in the year. Next spring, they will perform in England as part of a European tour which will also include Germany and Hol- land, The performances by Kain and Augustyn in Moscow were guest segments with the Bolshoi Ballet.

In the cynic's words, 'the veterinarian who doctors our dogs and cats is required to show more preparation for his calling than is the politician who seeks to assume the right to direct not only our industrial but also much of our personal life," That's a neat argument, with only one flaw: it forgets that, for all their faults, the politicians are of the people and elected by the people. They are the spokesmen for their constituents. Lately, Parliament hasn't been used much in day-to-day govern- ing. All the real decision -snaking is done by a handful of Cabinet ministers and thousands upon thousands of civil servants. The MPs, by and large, aren't happy about this and they show their discontent by spending as little time as possible in the House. Except for- Question Period, when backbenchers can harrass the Cabinet, the House is all but deserted. Everyone knows that, no matter what Parliament seems to be doing, the heavy action - such as dismantling of the Anti -Inflation Board - is taking place behind closed doors. Decisions are being made in three ways. Constant federal -pro- vincial meetings result in. the major decisions. Cabinet confers regularly with big business and labour leaders. And civil servants handle most of what remains. Police week celebrated There are three majorobject- ives shared by all Law Enforce- ment Agencies: To keep the peace; The prevention of crime; and The detection and apprehen- sion of criminals. Each is an integral part of the other, requiring a delicate balance acceptable to the social • climate. Any imbalance in these goals has an immediate effect on the concerns of the Police and the public: It is imperative that the citizens we serve have a greater under- standing of our role and' their share of responsibility for main- taining a safe and healthy community in which we live. To further this goal, I extend a personal invitation to everyone to visit any 'of our 189 Detachments during Police Week. Members of the Force will be on hand to discuss these matters in an informal atmosphere. Circus tickets selling, well Tickers are moving well on Canada's only tented circus coming to Blyth, June 2, Rjn - or - shine, two shows -'are being offered 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. In last weeks paper we, gave a list of sellers in Blyth and we would add the Clerk's office to that list. Those in surrounding areas may purchase advance tickets at these outlets: Robinson, General Store, Auburn; Mitchell's Family Market, and the Country Kitchen Restaurant, Londesboro; Walton Inn; Stephenson's, Brussels; Howson and Howson, Wingham, North End Store, Clinton. Sponsored by Centennial Com- mittee, the more advance sale tickets at $1.75 we sell the more money stays in Blyth, so get yours to -day and remember word of mouth is best advertising yet, so talk it up. Parliament simply rubber stamps policies made by mandarins in back rooms. The trend away from Parlia- ment has been accelerating. Recently, the Canadian Labour Congress proposed that Cabinet, big business and big labour should get together to establish an all-powerful planning body which would have executive powers in government. The Canadian Federation of Inde- pendent Business successfully opposed this idea • but the . plan would never have arisen in the presence of a strong Parliament. Obviously, something has to be done to get government back into the hands of elected representa- tives. Two good places to start would be television cameras in the House of Commons and delegating more authority to House committees. Television would take Parlia- ment into every home. Good MPs and bad PMs would be easily identified by the general public, just as good and bad government policies would be more recogniz- able. But the most promising reform would be reworking the House committees. At the present time, any MP who doesn't toe the party line in committee is promptly removed. But, in the United States, Congressional committees have broad powers to investigate and legislate. House committees could provide a platform for competent backbenchers; giving their position some purpose and bringing a voice of the people back into government, In other words, let's get government out of the backrooms and back into Parliament where it belongs.

That was supposed to have changed when election reform legislation shortened the period for campaigning. Thank goodness the campaign is shorter because the present provincial election campaign seems too long as it is. The sad fact is that already the campaigners are hard put to come up with something new and interesting to gain public attention 'and the campaign has hardly begun yet. Mr. Davis has talked about strong leadership to help keep Canada together, as if only he can provide this. Mr. Lewis has talked about the inequities of the Workmen's Compensation Board and the pointed waters of Northern Ontario as if he is the only man in the province with a conscience. Mr. Smith has spent a lot of his campaign so far just trying to convince the media reporters that he isn't the bumbler they've portrayed his as. To all of which the ordinary voter of Huron county says: who cares? The fact is there are no pressing issues on a province -wide basis (though Mr. Smith's promise to keep tax increases down to the Anti -Inflation Board maximums could soon be one). The only election issue is that Bill Davis is tired of the constraints of. minority government. In most places the issues remain local ones. The issues in Huron county are the same as they have been in the past several votes: anger with the government overcounty school boards, worry about regional government, distrust of government insititutions like Ontario Hyrdro; and a general disatisfactlon with the growth in the size and power of the provincial government. There is one new issue in this election, the closing of hospitals, or at least the attempt closings. All of which shows why the Conservatives are going to have to look elsewhere if they hope to pick up seats and form a majority government. Mr. Davis has shown little interest in really dealing with these issues in the past and with the present stranglehold by the Liberals in local ridings, it would appear that if he spent from now to election day in Huron -Bruce he probably couldn't turn the tide locally. In fact, given his appeal to most people locally, he might just bury his candidate. The same kind of local issues will likely be the turning point in many other ridings across the province unless some sudden attention gravitating issue arises on the scene soon. In such a case the polls won't mean a thing and it could be a very interesting election. Why are we so touchy Last week a major U.S. magazine, TV Guide, published an editorial saying that the U.S. shouldn't have any part of a pipeline to carry Alaska petroleum products through Canada because Canada was an unfriendly country. The article was pretty ridiculous to be sure and was no doubt the petulent response of the publisher to the Canadian government's crackdown on the overwhelming amount of U.S. publications in Canada (which eventually led to the Canadian version of TV Guide getting new Canadian ownership). What was more alarming and disturb ing was the Canadian reaction to this article. It made headlines and dominated radio talk shows for a couple of days, as if Jimmy Carter himself had made the statement. It's not new, of course. Canadians often react defensively when any critical remarks come from below the border. The question is, when are we going to grow up enough not to be affected by criticism, especially from so minor a source -as the TV Guide (where people are more intcrsted in reading about Starsky and Hutch than about politics anyway). Yet we continually go into a panic whenever somebody down there doesn't like us, while at the same time we complain ' about U.S. dominance and the need to excert our independence. People must surely realize that we can't have it both ways. To have the Americans love us, we must lower ourselves to virtual slaves, ready to do anything that please them and undo anything that displease them. If, on the other hand, we want to standup for our rights, we must expect that the Americans aren't always going to like it. After all, for nearly half a century their wish was our command and you can't expect them to suddenly enjoy Canadians saying no now and then. We've got to live our own life in Canada. We've got to help the Americans when we can and continue to be a good neighbour. But if our national need requires that we displease them, then we must look after ourselves first. But we must develop a thick skin to be able to shuck off the barbs that will be thrown at us"by the giant next door. We've got to do what we were told to in the children's rhyme: Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. Until we learn to take criticism in the proper perspective, we're still . just a 110 year-old adolescent.

Letter to the editor Sign those complaints THE EDITOR: I have recently received a letter which was addressed tome as Chairman of the Public Relations Committee of the Wingham and District Hospital Board of Governors. The letter was unsigned. I welcome the opportunity to act on behalf of anyone making use of our hospital facilities. We feel it is the function of our 'Committee to represent not only those working for and with the hospital, but those patients and Thoughts on controversy THE EDITOR: - Regarding the recent dis- cussions' on the contents of study books in our schools. 1 would like to voice my opinion on the use of so called four letter words. For instance take the word hell. If one believes in God and believes in heaven and hell, one would not use that word, in ,the course of conversation, without • knowing what the word stands for. So 'consequently one would not use that expression. Then again if one does believe in - heaven and hell why would someone, being either writer, teacher, or pupil use such filler words and others to tell a story, explain a problem etc. and degrade him or herself to use (YARE* with all your heart... families making use of the hospital facilities. If the person who has written the letter will contact me with specific comments, we are pre- pared to act as your 'representa- tive ' to help make our hospital second to none in Ontario. Without this information, I am powerless to act. ' Very truly yours, Donald P. Kennedy, Chairman, Public Relations Committee; • ' Wingham and District Hospital book words that don't mean anything to themselves, and are an offense to God and people who think differ9ntly and at the same time show an inability to communicate in proper English o_ r other language. By fr the most people in our world of communication never use that kind of words and do a most effective job. I ask then why teachers and members of school boards, many of them church members, have to defend the use of these words, etc. in our school curriculum. Thank you for the space in your paper.

Blyth W.I. holds gala dinner to celebrate Centennial BY MELDA McELROY At the Women's Institute Centennial dinner in Blyth Memorial Hall from 5. 7 p.m. on May 11, 1977, A Cemtennial atmosphere was set immediately at the entrance door where at a table covered with a red and gold fringed chenille cloth, Mrs. Luella McGowan took tickets, She wore , a long dark blue printed cotton dresswith white embroidery trimming complemented by a black velvet hat with long taffeta ties worn about 100 years ago by Mrs. James Dodds, Mrs. McGow by Mrs. James Dodds, Mrs. McGowan's .late husband's grandmother. Mrs. Anne McNichol's costume, quaint with bonnet and crocheted lace -trimmed white apron, stood out as she greeted guests. She chose for her jewelery her grandfather's watch and chain, Ella Caldwell was decked out in : her mother's 73 -year-old white • wedding gown with seven frills bordering its skirt made to stick out by a tucked and - all -lace insertloned petticoat. A costume that looked its age, 100 years, was worn by Marion Young, It belonged to her aunt and had been receoved only the day of the dinner. Made of black net with a� gorgelous heavy, ornate black lace flounce on the' skirt, it was worn over a white petticoat, Her' dressy white blouse was topped by a black lace bolero. Mrs. Margaret Higgins'. 65- year-old black Lacy wool shawl and bonnett were greatly admired as she sat rocking in a corner ift an antique chair. A picture out of the last century, she was, the frame for which were collections • of interesting antiques. A glimpse was caught of Evalena Webster, the, president, emerging from;the kitchen ' in her work dress of current fashion, but atop her head a quaint black lace cap with an under layer of white lace. It had belonged to her grandmother. Mr. James Lawrie, sported a top hat made by Christies of London, England. It was 110 years old and had belonged to a member of the Sillib family, The couple that perhaps attracted the most cameras and provided the most laughs was Mrs. Gertie Cockerline and her daughter, Mrs, Maureen Bean. Mrs. Cockerline wore her father's 86 -year-old black wedding suit with dark red and black striped bell-bottomed trousers, Her grandfather Marhsall's tiny brass rimmed eye glasses, over'. 100 years old, and a Christie stiff hat were perfect finishing touches to l the get-up. Maureerp's dress was distinctive with its light coloured, I very full skirt enhanced' by two deep flounces in the same shade edged in black and lopped with wide bands of black lace, She Rev. Carson honoured Following last Thursday night's meeting in the United Church of the Follow -Up Centennial Crusade series, a coffee hour was enjoyed at the home of Mr: and Mrs. Alvin Proctor, King Street East. Rev. Fred Carson who has left for his new parish in Elnora, Alberta, was presented with a gift. Rev. Cecil Wittich made the presentation expressing regret.at Fred's leaving Blyth ' and' community and extending to him on behalf of the group very best wishes for -health, happiness and abundant spiritual rewards in his new field. wore a black, bead -bordered cape and ostrich feather trimmed black hat. Winnie Johnston's blue and white gingham dress with large white apron was first worn by her at the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Blyth Women's Institute. An attractive feature of the party was the beautiful contrast in costumes of different eras and places. Everything was there from jump suits to jeans to 1977 dresses to a Little Bo Peep orange print outfit worn by a waitress, Brenda Brooks, popular 10 years ago. James Roy, artistic director of Blyth Summer Theatre, had donated for the occasion a mod fisherman's smock purchased in Lancaster, England. The dresses made for Centennial with their lace, black velvet ribbon, flounces, tucks, ruching, buttons and bows, many of which had been designed and crafted by Evalena Webster, drew gasps of admiration. The teenagers especially were in their element wearing such, whether they were of the dark print variety or the delicate pastels. The ladies had gone to great lengths to have an antique display of wide variety. To mention only a few items: two white wedding fight gowns of the finest quality cotton with hand work, worn in 1905; George Bentley's mother's needle worked picture of 1855 depicting 21 different birds in wooden frame; an 80 -year-old. knife and fork basket woven by Anne McNichol's great uncle in Yorkshire, England; an 1899 Bible; a slate; a box for kid gloves; Mrs. Higgins' christening dress of 1895; an 1800 interest- ingly shaped pitcher belonging to the Craigs; a cape worn by Queen victoria about 1895; a quilt of Afgan crazy work pattern in which one piece of black silk was part of one of Queen Victori's dresses; a warp piece of carpet used on a parlour floor 102 years ago, (weeds had been picked and bailed for the dye in it); a picture on a china tea pot stand of the C.P.R. tracks and the Arch - just beautiful .to my eyes with its gilt caption "A view of Arch, Blyth". Its original owner is said to be the late Janet Craig. Much planning and work had been put into this Centennial event, one of the 'prominent projects this year. The women fed over 300 guests. The serving table (the word buffet was not used in this respect in the 1800's) groaned under the weight of huge platters of roast beef, dressed fresh pork, pickled roll, heaped up bowls of mashed potatoes, vessels of brown gravy, old fashioned baked beans, kernel corn, plates piled high with home-made bread, (and was it ever delicious!) tubs of butter, chili sauce and bowls of apple- sauce. At the four long sit-down tables, each decorated with three lighted coal -oil lamps and vases of flowers, not only were there tea biscuits, but iced layer cakes like mother used to bake from scratch 'and.a wide assortment of pies. I was lucky enough to sit opposite a mince meat pie tasting the more delicious because of a sprinkling of candied peel among its fruits. Our, ancestors drank tea and coffee, and we did too this night. Let's not pause to compare prices. Incidentally, the cost of this meal was a meagre $3.50. On leaving this colourful function, I glanced back towards the kitchen to see a whole army of helpers tidying up, washing dishes and performing the hundred and one little tasks that must be done before locking up. Fifty-five years ago the Institute was the back -bone of Memorial Hall. I could not help but feel that they, in 1977, were still just that. ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. R. D.

PHONE 523-4421 • WE DELIVER Jiwa's Superior Foods From the Minister's Study Living by a slender thread BY EDWARD BAKER Have you stood by the coffin of a friend in the funeral home, looked at the face which could wrinkle its nose in life, whose eyes'could dance with mischief, whose ears could hear your words of appreciation for a good deed, or whose lips could curl up into a beautiful smile as it looked at a beloved chil0 Have you noticed the calloused hands from work, fingers which could trace out the music on the neck of a violin, lay the bricks for a church, or squeeze the trigger of a bombsight to wipe out a ity? Now that body, though it appears the same as your friend was in life, moves no more. Its moving, creating, talking, building or destroying, loving or hating time has now gone. Its message has all been accomplished. Even though you may now be a child, soon your message to the world will be over. Someone said a while ago that they never saw a Brinks truck in a funeral procession. I laughed and said that the first time, they did, the lineup of following cars would get pretty big and there'd be a lot of shovels and gas lanterns in the cemetery that night. What has your message to the world been, up until now? If they have a little room on the outskirts of heaven where, they show you an instantaneous movie of your life, will you be grateful when you see yours? Something in my heart tells me that you may. be the only spectator; there may not be a lot of other people there pointing an accusing finger at you. Because surely there isn't a lot of those accusing looks in heaven that we become familiar with here, In fact, often we church people, whether from motives of repressed jealousy or whatever, get pretty judgemental of others. Some psychiatrists say that we in religion load people up with a great burden of guilt to carry around, In fact, am I doing that to you now? It is said that Mary Magdalene led rather a dissolute life before she met Jesus. Though some of our pictures show Jesus as mild mannered, he must have been strong, dynamic, fully aware of the world around him, but especially of the people he met. Exactly what was their relationship: there were not so many taboos against touching others in the' Middle East as we have. Often we become aware of how others are'looking at us. Jesus must have been able to get messages across very quickly. Just how did she know that this new acquaintance, whose;,masculinity 1 am sure she did not question, was interested in the great person that she could become, not. merely in a temporary involvement with just her body? Jesus truly loved us. He did not run us into the dirt, as we so often do with one another. He had real faith in us: he saw rocklike qualities in impulsive Peter, whose surface seemed so unline that as to make their friends laugh. Just how do we prove our own stature b y kicking people in the shins, which so many of us do so often? When you draw near:the completion of your life, l hope for you that the reality of your life will come close to the vision of your life that Jesus had when he gave'you that great 'gift; • May God's great goodness fill your heart with love today.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: Many years ago you printed a lettet on Mother's Day. It touched my heart like no other letter I have ever read, I clipped that column and carried it in my wallet. It's time for a rerun. The column is barely readable -• and those who do not remember it should have a chance to read it again. My thanks in advance, Ann, for all the people you get back on the track when they wander. For example -- me. --A Detroit Faithful DEAR FAITHFUL: Happy to oblige. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Yester- day was the saddest day of my life. I buried my mother. As I looked at her lovely, kind face, for the very last time, many 'thoughts crossed my mind. 1 recalled the times 1 meant to give her a phone call and ask if there was anything she needed. I seldom got around to it, 1 recalled the evenings when our sitter folded out at the last minute and we had theater tickets so we "drafted" Mom to sit. She never once said she had other plans although I'm sure she must .have had. On those occasions I always promised myself one day we'd buy an extra ticket and take Mom along, but we never did, 1 recalled the day I ran into Mom in the bakery. Her winter coat looked shabby and worn. 1 thought, "Gee, I've got to take Mom downtown and buy her a Country Playhouse season set "Although several changes have occured in the Playhouse line-up of plays, the list is now . final", Playhouse Manager James Murphy announced recently.

It will be the season's musical revue and is a guest production from Montreal's Phoenix Theatre. Maxim Mazumdar, whose one-man show, "Oscar. Remembered", was presented at Stratford last seasonand which goes to Broadway this Fall, is the featured player. Berlin To Broadway is a tribute to the musical greatness of Kurt Weill.

We sent an azalea plant but couldn't get over to ' see her. The East-West football game was on that afternoon and the boss was 8Bparty B giving that night. . a I recalled the last time I saw Mom alive. It was at my cousin's wedding. She looked so old, I told 1 myself, "I must send Mom to Florida to visit her brother and get a little sun." But I never got around to buying the ticket. If only I could turn the clock back, Ann. I'd buy Mom that coat, take her to the theater, spend every birthday with her and send her any place she wanted to go. But it's too late and I am heartsick. Please print this letter, Maybe if I had seen one like it 1 would have done things differently.• -Grieving Son DEAR SON: Here's your letter -- and on a most appropriate day. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I was divorced three months ago from a woman 1 never should have married in the first place. We were wrong for each other going in.•But that's not the problem I'm writing about, Actually, it's my ex -mother-in-law. She remarkable a re a P erson. I ism 1 liked her instantly when we first met seven years ago. One of the saddest things about the divorce . was knowing she would not be my mother-in-law any longer. Now the question: Mother's Day will be here soon. I would like very much to send my former mother-in-law flowers, 1 have not seen her since the divorce but I know she feels kindly toward me. What is your advice? --Still Devoted DEAR STILL: Too bad you didn't write to me a few days earlier. Most florist shops are closed today. But send the flowers tomorrow --it won't be too late to make her happy. It's not always easy to, recognize love, especially the first time around, Acquaint yourself with the guidelines.

Quality of pasture can change greatly from one field to another depending on maturity and amount of legumes present. In May and June a grain mix containing 14 percent protein should be adequate, but during summer and fall when nutrient values drop in pasture a.grain mix of at least 16 percent protein is required. A one to one commerc- ial mineral mix should be sufficient, but you must keep in mind phosphorus and magnesium' are the two minerals most often lacking in pasture rations. Additional dry hay (5 lbs./cow/ day) is an excellent way to help prevent a severe drop in butterfat test which often occurs on lush pasture. With haying not so far away, you may be interested in having your feed tested. Types of analysis and cost per sample in each case are indicated below: 1, Dry Matter and Protein, $5,00; 2. Dry Matter, Protein, plus Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium, $11,50; 3, Dry Matter, Protein, 'Phos- phorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium plus Manganese, Copper and Zinc, $14.50. In conjunction with the teed testing program, we have the dairy feed formulation service which will assist you in feeding a- nutritionally sound ration. Feel free to contact our local Agricultural Office in Clinton if these programs, are of interest to you.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/MAY 18, 1977. BY BILL SMILEY Watching hockey playoffs late- ly, and discussing the brutality of the modern game with other former. aficionados, I began _ to ponder on that subject which is of such recent concern to our society --violence.' It is certainly nothing new, History is a long and often sickening record of violence. In the great Greek epics, treachery and murder and war and killing are celebrated. The Bible is loaded with people "smiting" each other, The Romans reveled in cruel and bloody spectacles. The Crusades of the Middle Ages, under the blessing of the Church, were sagas of loot and raping and fire and killing. Wars and piracy and vicious colonization occupied Renaiss- ance man, under the guise of exploration and spreading the faith. Torture and burning at the stake were the treats in store for anyone accused of treason or heresy as State and Church Two weeks left for home entries The Huron County Homestead and Farm Improvement Com- petition is entering its final two weeks before your entries should be in so let us remind everyone again of the classes open for competition as of June 1: Class 1 - Most improved farm- stead and entrance. Class 2 - Most improved rural dwelling and grounds. Class 3 - Most improved urban dwelling and grounds. Worthy entries will share in the prize money that is now being ob- tained through grants from each local municipality. There will be a County Champion in each class plus winners prizes in each Township. A prize list will be sent to all who enter as soon as avail- able prize money and prizes is known. Participants in the past have been well rewarded for their en- deavors and the pride and amount of achievement you ac-, complish will be shared by your neighbors and appreciated by all visitors to the county. With the help of all the resi- dents of Huron County 1978's Farmstead and Home Improve- ment 'Committee know their competition will be bigger and better than ever. An entry form for this competi- tion appears on the same page as this article so FILL ONE OUT NOW AND BECOME A WIN- NER. YOU'RE WHISTLING IN THE DARK ... c!

They mention and paled all previous violence by ' it, chuckling. Should I feel some sympathy for the players, forced into fraudulent ferocity by owners, coaches, fans? No way. I pity them for the punishment they take, but at the same time pity them for .being patsies for everybody else; for being dumb, in other words. They're well paid. If they want to be actors, let them act. If they want to be thespians, let them thesp, through their missing front teeth. If they want to be goons, let them goon away, as long as they goon on each other, and not on me. And should I feel contempt for the fans, who scream for blood, who curse colorfully the opposi- tion when it is winning, who blaspheme bitterly, their own team when it is losing? Nope. I feel no more contempt for them than I do for the Roman mob, suckered by the Cascars into going to the Games, instead of asking who is looking after the store these days. • I guess in the long run we're a violent people.

While not as devastating in the score of human life, it reached new pinnacles of perver- sion and horror, culminating in the unspeakable ,death camps of Germany, and the terror bomb- ings of the Allies, Things haven't improved.

Disaster films, the bigger the better, Air crashes, earth- quakes, towering infernoes. Or vicious portrayals of mad killers as in Taxi Driver. Or seeing two humans punch each other into bloody ribbons, as in "Rocky." Or watching violence, physical and verbal, carried to the point of parody, as in "Slap •Shot." And that brings us neatly, and inevitably, back to professional hockey. And after thinking over a few thousand years of violence, it's a Sunday School picnic, that spect- acle on the ice, in my mind.
