Mailman sees changes over years By Debbie Ranney Through wind and rain, snow, sleet and hail, the mail must go through or at least if it doesn't it's no fault of Alen like Harvey `Garniss. Harvey Garniss will have been the courier for the R.R.1, Blyth mail route for 20 years in November and -he's seen a few changes in those 20 years. The Standard thought it would be interesting to find out just what the job of a mail courier is, so this reporter travelled along with him on his mail route for a day, Harvey's mall route goes like this. Starting off on County Road 25 with the mailbox of Dalton McLellan, Harvey pro- cceds southeast to the Morris-Hullett Town Line, then southeast to the road between Lots 20 and 21 of Hullett. Then Harvey Turns southwest to the road between Concessions 12 and 13, then to the northwest (spur) to the residence of Edwin Wood, (Spurring means that the courier goes down to a mailbox on a route, then retraces his steps, back that road). Continiuing his journey, Harvey retraces his steps to the road between lots 20 and 21, then continues southeast to the road between Lots 15 and 16, then southwest (spur) to the residence of J. Benjamins. Harvey retraces to the roads between Lots 10 and 11, southwest (spur) to the residence of Bert (Tony) Middegal and then retraces to the road between Concession 12 and 13, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays he has one extra home to go to, then he follows his regular route. Harvey, said at one time they would only spur if there were at least three homes on the road getting mail. As we proceeded down County Road 25, Harvey indicated that sometimes the Triple K restaurant was as far as he got due to •weather conditions in the winter and at the first sideroad he said, "you can usually tell by where the bus has gone whether you can make it through or not." There are 55 mail boxes on Harvey's route The number has decreased some over the 20 years he's been driving the route. There was a time when the number was as high as 62. The Most "I think 62 was about the most I've had so far. A lot of it is due to farming conditions, Hockey school planned The Blyth and Belgravc Minor Sports Associations will jointly sponsor a Hockey School this fall, This School will be held at the Blyth and District Community Centre. It will begin Monday, October 9, and run for two weeks. Boys will be divided into groups according to age, size, and ability. Each boy will receive a one-hour on ice session every night for the two weeks, The cost is $12.00 per boy and $10.00 for each additonal boy in the same family. Head instructors will come from Kitchener and their assistants will be from the Blyth and Belgravc arca. Further information and registration forms will be sent in the near future to all players who were enrolled in Blyth and Belgravc Minor Sports last year. They're selling out, moving to other places -- one person maybe owns two or three farms," Harvey said. He explained the process of picking up and leaving mall. Each persaon has two mail (Continued on Page 5) THE MAIL MUST GO THROUGH--Harvey;Garniss is the mail courier for RR1, Blyth and does his best to make sure the mail gets where .it is going.

Baker Have you been in some place far from home and met someone who knows a friend of yours? It's quite a thrill, one which I've had several times, 'There's talk of "small world", and when you part there's a big smile and a warm handshake. Do such events happen by chance? Once I said so, but now I say it is deeply influenced by thc person- alities of the people involved. Each person is very complex and most of us don't open up to strangers. Some, more outgoing, talk to people wherever they go. The more we talk, the more possibility that we will realize we do have a friend in conimon. 11's the reverse of our smug Canadian quotation of the American who asks, "I once met a guy from Montreal:' I wonder if you know hini?" and it turns out that we do A couple of years ago, hitch hiking to Northern Ontario to drive a friend's car home from vasal ion, two of the people whippicked me up, one a Canadian Indian, became friends, inviting me lo visit then if i corse to their Oma. It; is commonplace to say that the world has shrunk in recent years. How shall we cope with a shrunken world? Many fled the high-density population areas of the inner city of the suburbs, leaving the inner c ty of rot. Then the confinement and uniformity of the suburbs troubles them so thcy floc to exurbia or to a farm. Or a cottage on a lakefront, which becomes as crowded as a city street. These are luxuries we will not be able to afford in an energy -short age. One gels the feeling that we don't like our fellow human beings (I almost said, "Man") much. Why? At our Baker reunion one old man who has never missed a picnic in over 80 years usually presides over Church News Martin Baan of Walton was the guest speaker at thc Sunday morning service at Blyth United Church, He referred to the fact that all want to be loyal to God and to the world, but can't walk in both directions at the same time. John 15 spurns many to action. God gave, so must we. Mr. Baan said that the Gidcons place the Bible, or portions of it, at the rate of a million copies every 20 days and they should double that if finances permit it. The wealthiest in the world, are challenged to help in ?met- ing this need. John Sanderson and Mrs. E. Webster welcomed every- one to the service, and ushers .were Oscar Meier, Gordon Carter and Bill Carter. Mr. Brock Vodden was at the organ and Mr. Fred Howson conducted the service, dt HURON 78ikt1 September 26 • 30 the peanut scramble, which is extensive when many adults get involved and there is an attendance of 130. Competition is genteel at a family reunion, so not many toes get stepped on or shins kicked. Change the locale to super bargain -basement day at the department store and the picture loses sonic of its gentleness. Change it again toour business system and it gets very harsh indeed. Once the storekeeper putting on the sale grinned as he saw the till filling up, but he had a nervous eye over his shoulder for fear of what the competition was up to. The market likes compe- tition only among inferiors. What the competition was up to was buying up the competition or squeezing it out. The peanut scramble is only good for the ,unwashed masses, Third world people can tell you how frcc the world markets are, and so c►ui farmers, Dad taught me, "Live and Id live, and try to be decent to the grouchy neighbour." Today's theme is, "Grab all you can for yourself. Tramp on anyone who gets in the way,' perhaps :Yarning him first if it's convenient." Everybody for himself brings the greatest good for the greatest number, we've been told, Dr. Bob McClure, who has slx:nt most of his life as a poorly paid doctor helping the helpless in war -stricken areas where human hatred caused much suffering, has a message for us.

Several families live in a long comniu'nal house, with a strong sense of community loyalty. They stay friends, working out their difficulties. They arc social animals, not predators as we in Canada are: the monkey, not the lion. And monkeys don't have red claws. Let's have less emphasis on competition here in Canada and more on co- operation. We are all in the canoe of the world together and a canoe is a very bad place to have a frcc-for-all.

The only solution to our problems was that we needed help. 'l'hc sooner the better. With so many things to do and not enough time before the judging of the home improvement contest for the plowing match we were desperate. The solution was a 15 year old teenager who was in need of earning some money but had not gotten a summer job. He is my brother. He eats peanut butter and drinks lots of Kool-aid, so it is relatively easy to feed him. After one distressed call he agreed to work three days aweek doing as many chores as he could reasonably do on his own without either of us supervising. The first night he scanned the list of 50 odd jobs and scornfully added that we had better get some more jobs ready, that he would be finished these items before the week was out. Well, Randy certainly got a surprise. The first task was the pile of hoards to be chopped and piled the barn for winter use in the fire- place. "I'll have it finished in one day," he laughed. Well, we had the last laugh, it took him three hot days swinging the twenty bound sledge against the boards breaking them up into fireplace size pieces. Now browned and thoroughly hardened for the next task, he went on to paint the garage roof, the garage, the back room, hang a screen door, peel posts and creosote them for the grape vines, freshly planted on the front lawn this spring, cutting weeds up to the barn and forcibly chopping small tree- like burdock that had gatten out of hand over the months. He did other nurirorous jobs that arc so small you wouldn't notice them but when cleaned up they make an impressive appearance. With all these smaller jobs and some of the major ones out of the way we could now concentrate on the stone barbecue that was going to be done the end of June? July?; well maybe for August, One should not be too Obituaries VALERIE CAMPBELL Mrs, Valerie Mary Campbell died on Thursday August 24 in her 59th year at Alexander Marine and Gen- eral Hospital, Goderich. Born in Gladesvillc, Aust- ralia to Harry Phillip Stevens and Winnifred Boorman she later married Kenneth Barkley Campbell in Sussex, England, in 1945. A leading Wren Writer in the R.N. she and her husband came to Canada in 1946. The couple lived in East Wawanosh Township until moving to Ashfield in 1967. Mrs. Campbell was employed for six years with Rouse Auto Electric and then became a real-estate agent the last three years. She was a member of the Auburn United Church, She is survived by her daughters Sandra Lynn (Mrs Stanley McNutt), Elmvale, Nereda (Mrs. Dieter Rehm) RR 1 Harriston, and son Steven, Auburn. There arc live grandchildren; Heather and Scott McNutt, Devon and Nathan Rehm and Laurel Campbell. Service and committal «Lrc held at Stiles Funeral Home in .Goderich on Saturday, August 26. Rev.

He was the son of Bryan and Mary -Bell of Blyth, and brother of Dean and David and grandson of Mrs. Bernice McClinchey of Blyth.

Considering the whole plan was basically simple it is hard to believe that pile of stone ate up almost all our weekends and even some evenings. We have gotten to the point, just days prior to the final judging, that the summer has been well worked through and Pork Chop Hill Farm is looking a bit better, if one doesn't look at the absolute mess of the vegetable and flower gardens. My young brother has eaten me out of peanut butter and upteem number of loaves of bread and some well earned cash, but finances have allowed him to take a week off and us to take a breather, The summer is unfort- unately drawing faster to a close than many of us realize. In a few days the kids will be back to school. And then the plowing thatch will be here. Well we are really satisfied with the work we got done this summer and ,entering the contest will enable us to receive a plaque for our efforts, This will remind us of the summer we worked away without attending an auction or lazying idly in the sun. Maybe it will also serve as a reminder not to bite off more than we can chew but I doubt that. With all the work around here our chores arc just beginning. Bowes Electronics specialize in T.V.

Registration Number 1319 You've got news? "There's that Tom Jones' picture in the paper again. I don't know why his club rates all the time." How many times have you said or thdught that after reading your newspaper? But did you ever stop to consider that maybe we didn't know about /our club's special event. your new slate of officers or your family's own personal news event, be it mom and dad's fiftieth wedding anniversary or grandpa's ninetieth birthday? We like to th;r:k we're pretty well in touch with what goes on around sere but we're' not mind readers. Our news and photography staff tries hard to be in the know about what's happening in and around town. People do call us to help and believe it or not, we find out a lot of what's coming up by faithfully reading this paper. But we can't know about everything that deserves news coverage. That's where you come in. If someone in your family will he 90 or has been married 50 years, call us . . . we'd like to take a picture and do a story. If someone has gotten an honour or done something noteworthy, call us . . with an item for the People column or an idea for a full-fledged feature story. If you're secretary, or an involved member of a group that rarely gets press coverage call us when you're doing something special and we'll be glad to come and take nhotos. That's what we can do for you; here's what you can do for us. Please try to request a photographer, and/or reporter two or three weeks before your event. A photographer will go out and take pictures on a Saturday night of other people enjoying themselves, when it's been arranged in advance that's part of the job. But photographers have families and asocial Iife too and it's not fair !o insist that they drop everything to 'go and take pictures of an event that's been planned for months on a last minute request. We'll do our darnedest to have a photographer at your event at your pecificd time if you'll do your darnedest to be ready when the photographer arrives. Sometimes things run a little late and we can put up with a wait of 15 minutes or so. But you wouldn't arrange with your 'caterer to have dinner at 7 and then delay its serving until 9. Don't treat the newspaper photographer that way either. And, as much as devoted club members find it hard to believe, someone from the paper who's there to take photos would much rather get on with the job•and back home or back to work than listen to your group's entertainers or "in" jokes. To sum up, we're glad to give your _group coverage and we'd specially like to hear from you if you feel what your group does hasn't received adequate recognition in the paper. Next time you're irked because it looks like old Mr. Jones' is gettimg too much news or photo space, call us with some of your news we can use. To the editor A good review from Hamilton Your readers might be interested in the following excerpts from a lengthy, compli- mentary review of the Huron Tiger, taken from a July issue of the Hamilton Spectator. Elie article was written by Phil Gravelle, "Why do so many people converge upon the tiny village of Blyth every summer? What is the attraction that draws thousands of visitors, not only from the surrounding farm communities but from urban centres such as London, Kitchener, Waterloo, and, vcs—Hamilton?" "Professional quality is evident in the direction ofJames Roy. Known to Haniilton- ians for his direction of The Waltz of the 'toreadors last April, James allows the action to Hove swiftly and efficiently through a variety of nuiods and visual effects." THESE DELIGHTFUL YOUNG PUPS COULD BE YOURS — Abandoned on the side of the road these two frisky young pups are ready for a good home. They may be picked up at The Blyth Clerks Office, I1' not installed in a home shortly these pups will be put to sleep. Don't you need a good watch dog? , (Standard Photo) Behind the scenes "Congratulations arc especially deserved by the citizens of Blyth. In the four years since James Roy began the festival, their support has furthered the cause of good Canadian theatre and their hospitality has become known across the province. Air conditioning and renovations for the theatre show a dedication to the festival's -future, and, if the Huron Tiger is any indication,. their enthusiasm is well justified." 1 feel certain that our loyalty matches our reputation for hospitality and that at least one member of every coniniunity household has seen at least one play. Many have seen and enjoyed them all, Already we are looking forward to the '79 festival season, Melda McElroy by Keith Roulston Don't label me Each oI' us has 0111' pct pccvcs in life and mine is a battle against labels. No, not the kind you find on the hack collar of your shirt but the kind people always seem to want to c\Illar you with. Over the years I've been called everything from a communist to a racist, from a Heeding heart liberal t0 a red neck Huron crnlnty conservative and I'm a little tired of it. 'there are probably sonic people who like tobc labelled. I know sonic people who wear socialist or liberal on their lapels like it was a badge of courage. It sakes them feel ulnlfortable I guess to be able to put a mune to their feelings. It doesn't make then/ any truer to their feelings though. I've known people who professed a socialist philosophy that was almost to the point of being communist of even anarchist \'1io still went out and behaved like veteran capitalists when it canis to slaking money. One prime example Iran about three businesses on the side of his full time job. On the other hand I've known veteran capitalists who blast the government and cry the need for the free market and the safety of the competitive marketplace who run to the gdvernnlent for help at the first sign of trouble, or \vho insist on driving any competitor out of business as soon as he starts to take even a small chunk of that "free and competitive marketplace." Please, 1 don't want to be lumped in to either group in the same way i would never join 0 political party. The problem is that once you slake that commitment to the group you pick up a whole lot of other lxtggage as well. You may believe in a few items of that creed of faith but suddenly you're supposed to support all of then/. The best example of this of course is in big -tisk politics. 11' you reach the top., the selected few persons who form the top brass of any political party, you are conuilitted to either go along with the group or get out. If the rest of the cabinet (or shadow cabinet in the,casc of the oppostion parties, votes one way on a subject then you've got to support it even if you feel the decision is wrong. The only alternative you have is to resign, Even the lowly back benchers are expected to toe. the party line or they're soon regarded as marvcricks, if anything less trusted than the opposition party. is this any way to run 0 COU0try? If we muzzle t11c very ' people we elect to lead the country; what hope do we have of getting the full truth so we can slake intelligent decisions as to who we should or shouldn't elect? This sank philosophy works all the way down the line, to a lesser degree. Sly you support Pierre Trudea11's language policies and you join the Liberal party. Well in fact you also get his economic policies thrown in tool and you're supposed to support them, even if you do,i't like them. Say you like the social conscience of the New Democratic party so you decide to support them and join the party. By joining, suddenly you tinct yourself in the sank camp as the big international unions and you're all supposed to pull together, even Jr you think some of the big unions are on their way to ruining the country. Much the sank is true in the less formal grouping of our society. It seems today that everybody must have a handle so that other people can make instant judgements as to which side the person is on. At the very minimum there's the "let'tish" and the "lightish'". The "leftish" includes first oI'f the liberals, the supporters of individual rights, freedom of the press and lord knows what all. The "lightish" include the conservatives, and they stand for...well what do they stand for? 1 mean we're bantering an)und these terms all the time and I don't really think many people know what they mean anymore, The liberals pride them- selves in the right of the individual in society, but that was originally a conser- vative belief. The conservatives are anti -big government yet governments manned by conservatives all across the country have been manufacturing huge governments. The names mean nothing anymore, That's why 1 resent having people call me a liberal or a conservative or a communist or afacist. I'n1 nie.1 have my own beliefs and I doli't want to be fenced in with some imaginary things I'm supposed to believe.

They leave one in the box and the couriers keep the other one with them. This helps to keep the mail from getting lost and according to Harvey, "eliminates a lot of confusion," Before Harvey even starts on his route, however, the mail is sorted out at the Blyth post office, then put in the bags and left in the proper order as the courier proceeds on his route. No Co-operation The biggest problem Harvey finds on his route is that, "some people don't co- operate" meaning that some of the people along the route don't keep their mailbox in the right condition or else they take the mailbag right into the house and forget to bring it back. The mailboxes are supposed to have some way of making a signal so the courier knows there's mail to go out or for the courier to indicate that he's left mail. Winter storms have of course delayed the mail. Harvey said that three years ago he was on a sideroad and he had an awful problem getting through because he couldn't see. He saw just in a split second another car coming up the road and they were both on the wrong side of the road. That was enough to convince the courier to turn around and head back for home, Then there was the time Harvey had to abandon his car on a sideroad for two whole days because of the snowstorm. Bail Out Harvey was forced to bail out of his car and walked half a mile to the nearest farm house to phone for a wrecker, who wasn't able to get through either. However, the farmer he had gone to for help had just been getting ready to go to town via a pair of skis. The farmer's wife offered to get Harvey a pair of skis as well so off they went on the sideroad toward Blyth. Harvey was just dressed in a light jacket and light clothes and "the boots weren't that winterized either" and that was the nearest he's come to freezing. "It's a situation you aren't going to forget," Harvey said. That winter day Harvey had approached the sideroad from the boundary and could sec where the snow plow had been so he figured it would be safe to go through. About half a mile from the boundary he noticed that there was nothing but snow banks all around him, "The snow plow had gone that far and then seeing that he couldn't make it had (Continued on Page 12) School Supplies DRAW For KODAK CAMERA 1 Free Entry Form WITH THE PURCHASE OF $ 5.00 School Supplies which includes a pkg. of Bic Pens and a Bic marker.

The general feeling expressed by researchers at all three stations is that they were sorry to see the crop move north. Area wedding TASKER — CASEMORE Alovely.

Bean Day started with a visit to the research plot areas at Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, Researchers at the college are conducting a number of experiments with white beans. One of their major projects is disease trial research on the root rot phenomenon; anthracnose, the bean fungus which sur- faced again two years ago; and white mold, Too Dry One of the researchers told growers that this summer's dry temperatures have meant researchers haven't sten as much of the anthrac- nose fungus on their field plots as they might have liked for testing purposes. The researchers are also carrying out a number of colored bean trials with mung beans, redcotc kidney beans and a number of other varieties. Charles Baldwin, another researcher, has been con- ducting a number of exper- iments testing soil fertility. Dr. Baldwin told the bean producers that increasing soil fertility may be creating amore difficult situation than we originally inherited from nature. He said his tests have been concerned with how little producers can put on the land in the way of fertilizer while still maintaining top crop production. Just as High He said in one college test plot where crops have been grown both with and without phosphorous and potash maintenance during an eight year period, some of the acreage where the nutrients weren't added to the soil produced just as high a crop yield. Dr, Baldwin warned there may be problems if growers overfertilize in order to increase soil yields. Following the tour of the Ridgetown College, the bean growers visited Hyland Farms Research Station, :operated by W.G. Thompson and Sons Ltd., near Blen- heim. The Thompson company, one of the two main buyers for Ontarip white beans, started into the research business in 1975 when they started research plots on their 800 acre farm. The test station is used for research on hybrid corn crops, yellow -eyed, kidney and white beans as well as soybean crops. The company operates a second test plot outside l-lensall, Don Littlejohns, research co-ordinator for the company said the station can grow three generations of beans annually by using green- house facilities during the winter. He said a number of the lines being grown on the site are strictly experimental. In Ontario, a new variety of bean must be licensed by the government before it can be sold to growers. In order to meet government stand- ards, the new lines must be superior in yields to the lines they replace. The white bean experi- ments at the Hyland Farm site were started in March, ttm4 YO!/LL L0l/ET00R/VE 1978 CONCORD a door 1977 DODGE ASPEN 2 door 2-1977 DODGE ASPEN 4 door 1976 CORONET STATION WAGON with air conditioning 1976 DART SWINGER 2 door hardtop 1976 CORONET 4 door, station wagon 1976 TO R I N O 4 door with air conditioning 1975 CORONET 4 DOOR STATION Crestwood model 1974 HORNET AMC HATCHBACK 1974 DODGE COLT STATIONWAGON 1974 GMC VAN 1973 CHEV 4 door HAMMS CAR SALES LTD. Blyth, Ont, Phone 523-9581 1977 with the co-operation of both American and Canadian breeders, Mr, Littlejohns said the Thompson company has had its eye on the Michigan market as well and hope to have seed there as soon as next year. As well as field tests on the new lines of beans, Mr, Littlejohns said there is a great deal of correspondence and discussion with the canners "to make certain they're happy with genetic lines before they go on the market," High Yields Mr, Littlejohns said his staff is looking for lines with high yields, a bust type growth to hold the pods off the ground and an earlier breed- ing time since beans have moved north and east in Ontario as well as into southern Manitoba where growing seasons are shorter. In the fall, Mr. Littlejohns said researchers will check each individual bean plant, saving only seeds from the better plants for further experiments next year. Mr. Littlejohns said the research station is also running a series of co- operative soybean trials with the University of Guelph. Soybeans in these trials are also being tested in southern Manitoba and Europe. The research program on. the site employs three plant breeders, three technicians and eight students who work during the growing season, After a stop for lunch in Fricau, the bean producers visited the Research Canada test station in Harrow. A Leader Dr. John Aylesworth, a breeder at the station, is one of the leaders in white bean research in Canada, Dr. Aylesworth explained the Harrow program is look- ing for higher yield varieties of white beans with better disease resistance and a higher cooking quality. New lines of white beans are being tested at a number of locations across the province. Dr. Aylesworth said in the past Ontario growers were dependent on bean varieties developed by American researchers, but with the new lines, Ontario is finally able to reciprocate. The research station is also conducting a number of experiments on the delta strain of anthracnose, This strain was first discovered two years ago on beans growing in the St. Thomas area. He said, disease resistance research to anthracnose is already well along with the Kentwood and Fleetwood lines of white beans, Agricultural research has been conducted on this site for 69 years.

I hope there's no recurrence of it either," Harvey said. He said that one year the township line between 1-ltrllett and McKilloli`was closed for a whole week and it took two graders and a bulldozer to open it. Although some people might find his job boring, Harvey says, "everyone isn't the same temperment." Pension And -Harvey has two other occupations to keep him busy as well. Harvey has a pension from the Second World War because of an Injury to his foot. Due to his foot problem he had to find a job that would relieve the pressure on his foot, Before the mail route, he delivered milk around town for 11 years. He put in a tender for the mail route job and kept the two jobs for awhile after that. Now Discovery train Anyone who wants to torn' the provinces of Canada and learn a great deal about our national history in a short span of time should visit The Discovery Train, The 19 car train, billed as the world's largest mobile nluScunl, will be in Stratford from Labour Day, Sept. 4 to Saturday, Sept. 9 at the East Gore Siding. Admission to th'.' travelling museum is free, and it will officially open on Labour Day, at 3 p.. Although The Discovery Train is following a criss- cross itinerary which wi:l take it to 19 locations across the country, the Stratford visit is the only•one planned for southwestern Ontario this year. The train, purchased by several provineilll govern- ments from the American Freedom Train Foundation last summer, has been completel• restored. j! Canadian National over- hauled the runding gear and diesel gencrat ors and re- painted the exterior of the ars. Both CN and Canadian Pacific Railways (CPR) will move the train from site to site over the five years of its journey at no cost to the project. Many Huron County School pupils will be visiting the train during its stay in Stratford.

Edwin Woods and John McEwing are two of the original people still left on the route. And of course the story of a mail courier couldn't be written without bringing up the problems of mailboxes being knocked off their stands by vandals. Harvey said that one man along his mail route has had to have three different boxes in the course of two year's but in another case one vandal's scheme backfired when he backed into a mailbox and it came right through his back window. Some people arc so eager to receive their mail that they go down and wait beside the mail box or as was the case with Paul Van Beers on this particular Wednesday morning --lay on top of it. Paul seemed to know about that particular mailman's slogan --the mail will get through and its men like Harvey Gar•niss who make sure it docs.

The cast of Two Miles Off manages to convey the good sense of humor and the determination to carry on, despite being ignored by trains, planes, and the govenmcnt. And although much of the show is humorous, it also manages to get in the frustrations and reminisces of life in a small town, in this case, Flnora; Alberta, In one of the most touching scenes and excellently portrayed by Kate 'Trotter Mrs, Devlin an elderly Irish Lady reminisces about her THEY CAN BARBECUE ALL THE PORK THEY WANT BUT THEY'RE NOT GETTING MY RABBIT — Bill Weima of R.R.1, Dungannon had already finished his supper at the pork barbecue in Brussels on Thursday an and was busy taking protective care of his newest posession a Rex which is a rare breed of rabbit.

At first he is optimistic when some construction workers come to town but he ends up !caving because of lack of business, One can just sense the defeat in him, but he is not without one last shred of hope as he says, "Maybe I'll come back when Elnora is the size of Red Deer." A Cowboy Chris Kelk is notable for his performance as the cow- , boy who remembers when horses worked for men in- stead of being just pets, and as the grain elevator operator who sticks to doing things his own way in spite.of what he's been told to do by the government.

When this appears, Bill Smiley will be in Ronne or somewhere, tossing nuns in a fountain, The perpetrator of the following is Roger Bell, a young English teacher, poet, motorcyclist and general disturber of the status quo. He is also a wit, satirist of the first order, idealist, lousy golfer, and unusual farmer. His radishes look like red softballs. Take it away, Roger. 1 ant, as Smiley stated in his rather flattering introduction, a novice motor- cyclist, recently introduced to this liberating and exhilarating pastime. • Lat ely, however, 'fills freedom and excitement have become tempered by all -consuming fear, and I c.tu failing victim to a psychological malady railed highway-13iway Paranoia. It happens almost everytinie 1 crank up my two -wheeled beast and ramble down the roadways— some idiot, in his four -wheeled, gas -guzzling monstrosity attempts to verify the natural law which states that, if'struck by an auto, bounce 12 times on his cranium before skidding to a halt on gravel -gouged hands and knees. It has reached the point where I question how most of these pilots .of destruction received their licences in the first place. Some, obviously, were given the right to run over anything that twitches, in the days \111en a driver's requirements consisted only of being able t() seg' the end of his nose, and having file to spit and walk simultaneously. Oi iers must have received their permits from mail-order univcrsitieS or boxes of Crackerjacks. A third group is those having connections high up in the Ministry oI' 'Transport. The rest, I suppose, were granted licences out of sheer desperation by harrassed examiners who ,vert afraid of further risking their lives with those people in future tests. By now you're feeling I have an overblown ego. "This turkey," you scream, "thinks he is the world's best driver." I am. Al least, have to feel that I ant, in order to survive the tinny of motorized assassins who lurk in the asphalt jungle surrounding my home. This army has all types .of• killers, each twined, in his own sptecial method of annihilation.

Alden Jones is good as the trapper who tells inane jokes and whose philosophy of life consists of the saying, "It's not what you know or don't know that keeps you from learning, it's what you think ' you know." Jones and Elizabeth Han- na also had the audience practically rolling in the aisles as they portrayed two bovine beasts with most acceptable cowlike ex- pressions as they chewed their cud. The whole cast takes all the pomp and pompousness out of the dignified ceremonies when they pre- sent the opening of did l- Elnora arena, Local Politician after local politician is called upon to speak at the opening, and each of therm passes the buck onto the next one until finally the local member of parliament speaks. Taking a speech froth John F.

Occasionally they \\ill cross 11p potential victims by 001 signalling at all, then abruptly changing direction. Finally, we - examine the just plait malicious, those loonies who delight in scaring the hell out of others by approaching at Warp Factor Five from behind, then tailgating for five miles, They gleefully speed up when 'someone attempts to pass them, leaving the passer stranded Mid fair game for oncoming cars.

What frightens me more is that, instead of declining, this horde of motorized maniacs is proliferating, In view of this, I have some solutions I'ot' self-defense. 1 could mount a recoilless 30 111111 tank cannon on my handlebars, Whenever the need arose, I could blast the offender to KingdomConlc, and sail obliviously onward. I could buy a war surplus tank and clank fearlessly along, crunching snails and opposites undertrcad, secure its the know- ledge that whoever ran into ale would suffer 111o1'e than I. The government could conic to my aid and institute a new licensing system with only Iwo categories —' Good and Bring in the Ambulances. 'Those drivels in the Tater category would be required to have flashing neon signs on their car rooks to warn good drivers of (heir presence, giving us time to seek sanctuary. It is unlikely, however, that these solutions will prove acceptable to the powers that be, so I will continue my present tactics of self-defense — riding along with fear in my mouth and a wall of profanity around me so thick that a jd(•powcrcd Mack truck couldn't penetrate.
