That place is Dallas, a city which still, on the whole, re- fused to talk about what hap- pened there 'on Nov. 22, 1963. There is a,glossy sheen about ballas, with Its soaring sky- scrapers rising up out of the east Texas oil country. -It is bustling, wealthy, hot, confi• dent, newly emerged from cow town to big city. But it is neith- er as civilized or as sophisti- cated as it thinks it is. To this Canadian observer, there are inevitably comparisons between Alberta and Texas, both of which have prospered on oil and beef. But there is much more that is different. The scene df President Ken- nedy's assassination looins up suddenly out of the dark if you are entering Dallas at 'night, as I did. You are unprepared for the sudden recognition of the triple underpass, the small park, and behind it the Texas School Book Depository build- ing from which the death bul- lets travelled on that fateful day. Nearby, there is a rather tat- ty and apparently temporary memorial. A bank of paper 'flowers res,ts on a concre e wall, and someone has cu; nut in red *plastic letters,to form that best known of 'all reme:nbrances, "Let We F6rget." A flag flut- ters in the breeze. • It all looks so innocent and pe,cefui that to see the scene, yourself removes none -of the unbelievability from your mind. There is no mark of death about the place, but then you realize of course there wouldn't be, even though you had' some- how expected it. There seems now, 18 months atter the death of President Kennedy only one important question about the crime. It is CROMARTY Among guests who attended the centennial services on Sun- day and visited with, friends 'were: Mrs. Howard Eves and daughter, Janet, of Moose Jaw, with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. Laing; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McKaig and daughters, of Sud- bury, with the McKaig's; Mr. • and Mrs. Donald;" McLachlan, Toronto, with Mr. and. Mrs. Car- ter.

Francis; of Woodstock, with Mr. and Mrs. K. McKel- lar. - *Mrs. John Jefferson enjoyed the Horticultural bus trip to Toronto on "Saturday. Mrs. Jessie Hamilton is a pa- tient in Scott Memorial Hospi- tal, Seaforth. ' Sympathy is extended to Mrs. Otto Walker, whose sister, Mrs. Francis Statham, Parkhill, pass- ed away in St. Joseph's Hospi- tal, London, last week. 'Many friends and relatives from this area ' attended the funeral of Mr. Edward •: Brooks, which took place at the Whit- ney funeral home, Seaforth, on Friday. Mr. Frank Allen is confined to Seett Memorial Hospital, Seaforth. universally accepted that Lee Oswald did the killing. But was it the act of an insane mind that could have exploded into violence anywhere, or was it a crime that could ha%a oc- curred only in Dallas? Oswald was a left-wing Marx- ist, but Dallas is a hot -bed of right wing conservatism, verg- ing • at times on fascism. As well as being a city •of -extrem- ism, it has one of the highest crime rates in the U.S.,. but has few slums and little racial strife, .although there is still more segregation than integra- tion. It will never be known whe- ther Oswald's behavior was in- flamed by the extremist clim- ate in which he lived. There are still the, right-wing fanatics financed by men of great wealth, but one wonders if Dallas isn't getting wise to them. None is more famous than H. L. Hunt, the 76 -year-old multi- millionaire oilman and manu- facturer whose name has be- come synonymous with far-out conservative causes. But when you meet this man in his office in the 54 -storey First National Bank, as I did, and then later watch hike' "drink beer at your elbow straight from the can, you wonder what all the fuss was about. This dumpy old man, with clear eyes but a slightly foggy memory, Seems resigned to losing the battle. "There's no future at all for the conservative movement un- less it gets a 'different name," he says, and you wonder, "What's in a name?" "The free world" (as he sees it) "can be saver] only at a profit," he adds, "Businessmen are like a bunch of children. They 'thought LBJ was a con- servative but' they won't say - anything now because they've never had it so good." H. L. Hunt'is one of the few' people in, Dallas who will talk about the President's death. I asked Mr. Hunt if, he thought there was any connec- tion between ,Oswald , being„ a Marxist and him being the ap- parent killer of Kennedy. "Of course," he said, "I don't know -what other motive Os- wald would have had. And now the left-wingers are taking un- to themselves the martyrdom which rightfully belongs to Kennedy." • KIPPEN NEWS Field Days of Stanley No. 7 and No. 14: Races Grade 8 — lst Bill' Hender- son,No. 14; 2nd Brenda Trieb- ner, No. 14; 3rd Lois Wright, No, 14.

McCannel in the Kitchener -Waterloo Record),: The, doctors with the larges territory and the most rugg terrain- in southern Ontari have beefed up their transp talion. ,The husband -wife team o Doctors • Mervyn and Norm Hopkinson of Lion's Head fo 14 years have covered niost-9 the Bruce Peninsula by car horse, on foot or by a plan shared with a Wiarton doctor Now they have a plane o order, - Anyone who knows Bruc Peninsula realizes that trans portation can be a proble First, there is the distances The Hopkinsons are the onl doctors north of Wiarton which 'is 21 miles south of Lion' Head. The tip of the peninsula •Tobermory, is 34 miles in th other direction. Then there ,are the roads While the main highways ar good the sideroads still follo the winding Indian trails. T winter the never:ending wind from Lake Huron whip ac?os the narrow land strip to Geo gian Bay and the results are continuing snowdrifts. A few winters ago the eommuai'ty of Dyers Bay was snowed in for two weeks. ' Doctors Mervyn Hopkinson and James Leeson, of Wiarton, work closely together and a year ago decided to take fly- ing instruction and buy a plane. They got a four -seater Cessna 172. Dr. Leeson is tall and he• and Dr. Me'tvyn Hopkinson had been dubbed Mutt 'and Jeff by the peninsula people, who also applied the 'name to the. •plane and painteda cartoon of • the i doctors on it's nose. Dr. 'Mervyn Hopkinson came from a flying family althou he did not fly until a year •ago: A brother, Keith Hopkinson, operator of Sky Harbor airport at Goderich, was killed in a crash a year ago last March.- Keith had often urged his physician brother to fly but the doctor kept putting ' it off until he had the money -for a plane and time for _the. instruction. The other half of the Lion's Head team, Dr. Norma Hopkin- son, saw her husband 'get his private pilot's licence and de- cided she, too, would fly. It's. hard to find the, --time for study and instruction when you have a full-time medical practice and three children to ook after, . but she hopes to solo by fall: ' The 'Hopkinsons ordered a Beagle aircraft. They have the department of transport strip at. Wiarton to land on, a pri- vate strip at Lion's Head and a farm -field at Tobermory. "When they 'call .a doctor up here they need one in a hurry,". Dr .Mervyn' said. He feels that. when both he and his wife are airborne the service to• their patients 'will be stepped .up. He now makes his calls in a fire engine -red Mustang: The Hopkinsons have an of- fice at Wiarton as well as .the one in their Lion's Head home. They alternate days at the of- fices. The Lion's Head office is equipped with a radio re- ceiver on the plane's frequency and the hope is to get a trans- mitter at the Wiarton office as t ed 0 or f a r f e n e e e w n s s 1 well. ' The Hopkinsons are not too sure why they came to the Bruce Peninsula 44 years ago to set up practice. Both were from small towns, she from Hensall and he from Tillson- burg, She was graduated from Western and he from Queen's. ST. COLUMBAN Rev. John.

Sher- wood Fox may have influenced the move. Dr. Fox, one-time University of Western Ontario president and a native of Col - pays Bay in the peninsula, wrote The Bruce Beckons and other books on the area. It was a happy selection to come here, both doctors agree. They cite • several reasons, in- cluding their children, Joanne, 14; Bruce 12, and Mary 8. This is a better place to raise children than the city, the doc- tors believe. Children here be- come more stable, are more resourceful. And then there are the peo- ple of the peninsula them- selves. The doctors describe them as "a loyal group, more philosophical and stoic. than city people. ' They have been slower to adapt to change and life goes at, a slower 'pace but with the increasing influx of tourists this will ,:change. "They are so co-operative. Knowing we are spread thin over a large area they make every effort to come to the office. House calls are rare and when you get , one you know it's urgent." And doctors are spread thin in the peninsula. The two Hop- kinsons cover the- 55 mile -long area whose winter population of 3,500 is swelled to 50,000 in the tourist season. How has the peninsula ac- cepted the Hopkinsons? A Bartow Bay man in his 70s answered that'question with typ- ical peninsula simplicity: "They're us now," This acceptance can be illus- trated in many ways. For ex- ample, there was the problem of ,how to refer to a man or wife when both are doctors. is was solved, Everyone calls them Hoppy and Norma.. The Hopkinsons have taken a deep interest in -their com- munity. She has served on vil- lage council and school board. He on the school board and industrial commission. Both have been on the 'hospital board and they are a part of the other community projects. When a new building was to be erected for the Red ,Cross Outpost Hospital here, the Hop- kinsons donated valuable shore property as a site even though the structure cuts off their view over Georgian Bay. Backwoods doctoring presents problems and challenges. Because there is no , drug store north of Wiarton a com- plete dispensary must be main- tained at the Lion's Head of- fice. More than $15,000 • in drugs is stocked. Lack of fa- cilities meant they had to buy their own X-ray machine and cardiograph: Their home office is run as an outpatients department and li a small operating room is available for—minor or emerg- ency surgery. When the' new hospital is completed in late summer, it will have these fa- cilities. Lack of facilities up in the peninsula also means the doc- tor must .become more ver- satile. Most medical problems are 'the same, but some differ. For example, there -is a high inci- dence.of water accidents but lifesaving instruction to the residents through the years has had rewarding results. Last, summer alone four • persons were revived by mouth-to- mouth rescusitation. "With the distances involv- ed up here if they Waited in a drowning for a doctor to come the patient • would be dead. The people realize they must know what to do." There is also a high inci- dence of hunting accidents. Nearly everyone in the pen- insula has a gun and "many froth . outside come here for the abundant game, The problem peculiar to this focality is rattlesnake bites.
