Lyn Steffler, of the board, says students are taught safety because of a recent student death in Huron County. "It was his first day of school, and he didn't make it." Constable Eric Gosse of the Goderich OPP and a Kitchener officer, instructed the kids. They were treated to their first bus ride following the presentation at St. James' Separate School. Dr. Moyo on trial in New York The trial of former Seaforth doctor, Charles T.B. Moyo, started last week in Brooklyn, New York. Dr. Moyo is charged with conspiring to murder his estranged wife, and with attempting to get an undercover officer to kill her. He and Dr. Lorraine Roth-Moyo have been separated since 1975 and she lives in Rochester, New York. The charges were laid last August. Police said they arrested Dr. Moyo after a tip from the state health department, which was investigating Dr. Moyo's practice. They placed a 24-hour guard on his wife. Police said the alleged murder plot involved a bid to get sole ownership of the couple's farm near Egmondville. Dr. Moyo, 52, was acquitted in December in Huron County Court in Goderich of six counts of prescribing controlled drugs to a non -patient at his Seaforth clinic in 1980. He was a general practitioner here from 1967 to 1980. In a phone interview with the Expositor after the Goderich verdict. Dr. Moyo said he hopes to return to Seaforth to live and practice "one of these days." ��goQ amcl gpok@ Continued from page 2 quitting my job and taking on another one. And at this very moment. I've decided what I'm going to do. l'm going to continue writing this column, naturally. There's no other way 1 can vent my spleen. And if you haven't seen a spleenvent• or lately, 1 suggest you do. It's better than pounding out your wife/husband. I'm going to write such a dirty book that people will be buying it under the counter. talking about it in hushed whispers. and even claiming it's a work of fiction. But it won't be. I'm going to name names: Gert, Ruby, Pearl. "Yabbut!" I managed, before she broke in with, "Your sex life is enough to curl the toes of a sloth." Well, we'll just see about that. 1 remember this girl in Manchester who "I don't want a bath; 1 just want a kiss." I'd licked her ear. And I'm gonna tell my grandboys the straight truth: that I fought the Nazis, toe to PI�r Cal ger for 55 years, Krauter retires After over half a century in the plumbing business, Cal Krauter has retired. His 55 years in the trade ended with a public auction. The reeve of Brussels, Cal says he will continue to do repair work, but no installations, "I have the expertise and kept some of my tools, but I'm lazy as hell. A person has to do something. they will die if they don't." A family tradition continued in the plumbing field, when Cal, a spry 14 -year- old, began his apprenticeship- in the autumn of 1928. "I picked it because it was a kind of family tradition. My grandfather and an uncle were in the lumbing and hardware business in Ethel.' "Then we came through a darn big depression. 1 only worked where there was work. There was no unemployment insurance. You either worked or starved." Following the depression came the second world war. Mr. Krauter spent four years in the Navy x as�t�,an Engine Room Artificer, (skilled mechanic). He was medically discharged. Having apprenticed for seven years, "1 made $5 a week, with no room and board and was damn happy to get it," says Mr. Krauter. "Now you couldn't hire a man for $5.00 per hour." During his apprenticeship, he worked in Hamilton, Milverton, Kitchener and London. Qualified as a plumber, sheet metal draftsman, steam fitter, and holding an oil burner licence, Mr. Krauter has seen tremendous changes in his 55 years. LEAD PIPE "I started out using lead pipe and did everything by hand. Then came copper and now plastic is used. You can almost carry a complete bathroom under your arm today. It made you grunt back then." Cal has been involved in municipal work since 1957, and there was probably a time when village citizens may have wanted to tar and feather him. It happened once, but accidentally. "I was heating up a barrel of tar for a roofing job, when it exploded. It literally glued me to the ground. My uncle and a cousin had to pry me loose." HOT WATER Getting into hot water is not uncommon for Mr. Krauter. But falling off barn roofs and windmills wasn't something he enjoyed. "I fell off a barn roof and landed in a manure pile. Although I had no broken bones, you couldn't find me for pig manure." Mr Krauter laughs about the time a hired man almost burned a house down while on the job. Another hired man received a massive electrical shock when installing a pressure pump. He died as a result.. Having served a quarter century for his village, Mr. .Krauter -was a councillor for five years, has been reeve for 12 years and has been on the Public Utilities Commission since 1963. He was elected Warden of Huron county in 1968. In addition to doing some repair work, Mr. Krauter is also an Avid gardener. He has a partnership with the Presbyterian minister in a large strawberry patch. "We picked 4,000 quarts last year.' "There are some good sheet metallers today, but 1 call some, sheet metal butchers. I'm a sheet metal draftsman. Not everyone can do that." in the civil engineering\and business management pro- gram. At the time of his death, he was employed by his late father's construction company, Looby Construc- tion Ltd. The late Mr. Looby rested at the R.S. Box Funeral Home, Seaforth, from Thurs- day evening until Saturday morning when mass of the Christian burial was hid at St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church, Dublin, at 11 a.m. Father Arthur Lobby offi- ciated.

THOMAS PATRICK McGRATH Thomas Patrick McGrath, 25, of Mill St., Dutllui, died June 14, 1983 at McKellar General Hospital, Thunder Bay, following an early morn- ing car crash.

On ngi yGic wo c vamo JUNE 23,1883 Samuel Houston, son of James Houston of Tuckersmith met with a most painful accident on Friday. He was assisting at a barn raising on the farm of Mr. McKay 10th concession, and with others was engaged in shoving up heavy timbers on skids to the top of the stone wall. When putting up one of these sticks, it turned around causing the pike poles by which it was being steadied to lose their hold, thus permitting the stick to fall back upon the men who were behind it. Young Houston in going backwards to get out of the way fell over a heap of earth and the timber fell on one of his legs, breaking and crushing the bone between knee and ankle. JUNE 26,1908 James Scott now holds the championship for having caught the largest blade bass this season. On Saturday last, Mr. Scott was fishing at Bayfield, when he pulled out a bass which measured between 18 and 19 inches in „ length and was 11 inches around. It weighed over three pounds.

Maybe I'll tell them about how 1 cried in the showers, after Smiths Falls beat us 8-7 in the finals. Might make a nice contrast to the macho image. But 1 can hear the little idiots saying, "How come. Grandad, if you got two touchdowns, you are licked?" They know their blasted math. Maybe it would be better to tell them how our C.O., Killam Gillam, selected me, over all the other pilots, to go up with him on a two-man reconnaisance. Poetic licence. 1 don't need to tell them he'd selected me because the day before I'd dropped a bomb on the Canadian Army, purely by chance; and that when we returned, he observed, cooly. "You shot a hole in my wing, Smiley." He shouldn't have had a wing sticking out like that. No. this is going to he a no -holes -bared, letting -it -all -hang-out. anything goes auto- biography. All 1 have to do is come up with a couple of torrid, rather than Turkish -bath, sex scenes and we're off to Hollywood. Or jail. Well, that's just for openers: a sizzling, sexy autobiography, and. a column that continues to throw anchors to the "little guy", as he struggles to hold his nose and float on the nauseous canal of contemporary life. I'm going to go back to school. In Math, I'm going to argue that a straight line is not the shortest distance between two points. and start a riot when the teacher tries to explain what a sexist. racist attitudes he means by "straight". In science, I'm going to complain that the teacher has not satisfactorilyroved to nie that the earth is not flat, that Genesis makes more sense than Darwin, that two swallows do a summer make, whereas one doesn't and that a pistil is no more use to a stamen than a bee is to a frog. In English, l'm going to ask the be- leaguered teacher, "Where have you been published lately? In the Sunday School Gazette? The English Teachers' Almanac, in the article that claims Oedipus did not originate Mother's Day by plucking out his eyes and handing them to his mother?" I'll be a heller in history. "But how do you know that Laura Secord hadn't sold the paterit before she started putting the'switch to that cow? And how do you know it wasn't Laura who was the cow and that the real cow was a member of the CIA? Where was Napoleon? When was The Repeal of the Corn Laws? Why was Mackenzie King?" I'm really looking forward to being an adult student. I'm planning to take pornography. mystery. computer error, impersonal typing, Gaelic, mujik (with synthesizer), and stamily fuddles, which is all about, like, abortion and how refrigerators are better than brass monkeys for keeping salad crisp. 1 can hardly wait. McKillop people at meeting brigade arrived the fire was well under control. Veterans of the Great War held an impressive service on Sunday in honor of those war dead who are buried in local cemeteries. The afternoon was clear and warm and a large crowd attended the service and parade. The ceremony was under the auspices of the local branch of the Canadian Legion.
