Seaforth's share, of the re- pairs on the drain, which was initiated by McKillop, are slightly over $5,000. The decision permits work on the drain to get under way in the near future and avoids what could have been a costly and abortive legal squabble. What is more important is that the town carries a step further the move •• taken last fall when it commissioned a study of storm sewers across the town. As a result of that study—still in preparation—and for the first time an over-all plan will be available which will. permit the installation of storm drains in such a way to ensure that they fit into a pattern and •that they will continue to do _duty for many years. No longer, we hoe, will it be neces- sary to repair and install drains on a day-to-day basis. Too often in the. past .such steps have cleared a problem on one street, only to create another on the adjoining street. The Lawrence Drain flows across the northwest bOundaries of Seaforth, along No. 8 Highway, and back into McKillop to empty_ into the Maitland. • Last repaired nearly forty years ago, • the drain originally, drained a small area of the town, but "in recent years, as demand for improved drainage arose, has served as .an outlet for an increas- ing number of town properties. Preliminary work on the town's • storm drains study revealed the Lawr-. • ence Drain was the most practical and economical outlet for the entire north- • , west quarter of the town—for that area lxjng west and north of North Main •._and Goderich Streets. Realizing this, engineers made provision in redesign- ing the Lawrence Drain to include ca- pacity sufficient to serve Seaforth. is , this very feature that makes • Seaforth's drain plan so valuable. In- stead of designing the drain in keep- ing with demands of forty years ago, the new town plan has made possible a .look ahead so that the needs of the t A Macduff Ottawa Report Must 'Seek Out OTTAWA—There •is "a sinis- ter and growing involvement of crime in politics"..

The course of the next few months, not only vindicated Mr. Nielsen, ,,but opened the eyes of Mr: Pearson .to what dangers lurk in the seemingly safe and familiar lagoons of politics.

OPETtitAION Sugar and Spice — By Bill Smiley — dazed gaze of the men. Women's summer garments are a delight to the eye, and the ultimate in common sense. Maybe that's why ladies don't sweat, but just perspire. N'ot so the men. Unless they're on their holiday& they face the heat with a surly lack of com- promise that would be admira- ble, were it not sttipid. Most of them wear the same clothes ;in summer as in winter, except for an overcoat. The odd one will take off his jacket. A few sneakily remove their ties. And the wild individual will roll up his shirt -sleeves when it hits a hundred. But that's about as far as they'll go. The vast majority of meri wear wool 'socks, heavy leather shoes, long trousers of wool or flannel, and the same shirts they wear in January. One -more thing that makes a man miserable in the heat is the amount of junk he has to carry in his pantspockets. In cool weather he can spread it around in jacket and overcoat pockets. But, when he has only trousers pockets in which to carry 'cigar- ettes, . lighter, handkerchief, coins, car keys, pen, notebook, pipe and tobacco, golf tees, sink- ers and about 50 other essenti- als, he looks about the shape of an old tree, covered with fun- gu s. Hot weather is not for men. They should all be given about six weeks, off in the summer, while the scantily clad women and kids keep things ping; The men won't be happy until they sniff the first nip of fall in the air, and can start grumbling about the cold, and what it costs to heat the place. WE'RE COOL. TOWARDS HEAT. Year after year, we moan about the bitter winter,, or dreary fall, or the backward spring . . . until July and Au- gust, when we take the rare -felt heat as a personal affront and whine increasingly. Along about the first part of July, we usually get a little whiff of that hot weather we've, been looking forward to shim Christmas. Nothing torrid. Just a little breath of warmth that a native of the tropics would sneer at. So what do we do? Do we cast off our long -handled under- wear and burn it in the streets? Do we have a big welcome par- ty for genial old Sol? Not we. We totter around complaining even more bitterly than we did all winter. We adopt a harassed air. If we live in the' city, we dash from one tomb- like air -Conditioned building to another, inevitably catching a wicked summer cold in the pro- cess. We greet each other with anguished groans and that old folk -saying, "Hot nuff fer yuh?" SOme idiots try to fight fire with firewater.

I have to agree with most of Mr. F. A. Cilia's letter, but the point I want to make- clear is that Bayfield's and Mr. Bur- row's sensible solution to the problem of Harpurhey and Eg- mondville is the same problem that Bayfield is fighting to the end. • On the front page of the Clinton News-Ftecord recently, a headline stated: "Township .Reeves Still in Dark Over Re- ported School Area Meeting." The ratepayers have been in the dark a long time. I can't understand why the reeves think itis the school board that should look after school af- fairs, when a few weeks back Tuckersmith council voted to join Stanley and Bayfield and build a school near Brucefield. At a meeting held at the be- ginning 'of the year in S.S. No. 8 School, the only reason Tuck- ersmith couldn't have a school of its own was because Mr. Burrows would not consider it unless a satisfactory agreement couldn't be worked with 'Stan- ley and Bayfield. Well the handwriting is on lhe. wall now, that a satisfactory agreement will neyer be worked with Bay- field.

Others have an even more sil- ly solution. Their idea of getting away from the heat is to hit the highway, drive for four hours in extreme discomfort to a beach where they lie baking with simi- lar sweaty citizenry, before re- tiring to sleep in a cabin like a steam bath. - Most of ,the preceding re- marks have to do with the male population, poor devils.

A Canadian scientist has OA - ten to, challenge some of my comments. Because I foundhis remarks enlightening, I have ob- tained his permission to quote !from hi lefidr, although he wishes o, remain anonymous. He wri "Automation is not a new method of industrial produc- tion. It is a new vogue word used by commentators to make their writings appear up-to-date. "Man's first machines in- creased his rate of doing work. Two centuries ago the boy who Opened and closed the valves at the right moment to cause steam power to pump water from English coal mines was fired when it was shown that a contrivance of wheels and rods ,could do the job better. "Ever since then we have strived to make machines auto- matic, and automatic lathes were in. use in the 1930s. But the verb 'to automate' came much later. All this seems to prove is that those who talk about industrial production are a long way behind those who are in it. "Improved technology in- creases productivity per man hour, and it also makes pos- sible new products. The result is to improve both the -quality and quantity of the ,goods and services, ,aVailable to us. Tech- nology is the prime factor in the mina -1y. "New technologies give man an econtifiiie choice.

"If a machine society is one in which machines do most. of the work while masses of men play or idle, then there is .no evidence at all that Such a so- ciety is near, or even that we are approaching it. "So am I arguing that every - .thing is rosy and all men get their just reward? Not quite.
