TALES THAT

LONDON
NO TAIL ON THE SHIRT
It was summertime, and I was
going from farm to farm as day
laborer, performing one of those
menial tasks of farm life, but
,one that needs doing.. In those
days we stopped around four-
thirty in the afternoon for supper,
and then went out and worked as
long as one could see. • A ten
hour day would be deemed a
luxury and a forty hour week had
never been imagined. We had
stopped for suppertime and I made
my way to the farmhouse, dirty,
and ill smelling from my task...
• Visitors had arrived that
afternoon, and I was deterrnined
I was not going into the house
proper .to eat with the, strangers.
So I called to the dear old lady,
to bring me out a bite in a back
kitchen, which in those days we
sometimes called a stoop. She
was insistent that no hired hand
would be, treated that way in her
home, but I was just as, insistent
that I was not going in. Finally,
to clinch my argument I did a
most unusual thing.
"I can't go in with those folks,
I said. It isn't the odOr of my,

Blyth Editor's
Recent.(omments
Recent articles printed by The
Sentinel concerned an editorial
in the Blyth Standard by' editor
Keith Roulston questioning why
Blyth was not progressing as fast
as other area municipalities, in-
cluding Lucknow , in the establish-
ing of a senior citizens housing
'project iri that community. He
suggested the fact that ,"politics"
were involved.
A reply from Reeve George
Joynt of Lucknow explained the
steps that had been taken in this
community. Mr. Joynt said that
politics 'played no part in the mat-
ter and that the problem centred
around a drainage problem in
Blyth.
The Blyth editor earlier stated
that Blyth.had only an opposition
Liberal member of parliament ,
namely Murray 'Gaunt , working
for them. The article prompted
Mr. Gaunt to write the enclosed
letter , a copy of which is reprint

August 29th, 1913.
Mr.' Keith Roulston,
Editor,
Blyth Standard,
Blyth, Ontario.•
Dear Keith:
I wanted to 'make some
comments. about your editorial
which appeared recently in the
Blyth paper with respect to Ontar-
io Housing COrporation and
Blyth's treatment by that Corpora.
tion in comparison-to Teeswater
and Lucknow
Specifically I thought I had'
better indicate to you what my
understanding of the situation •is.'
As 'I recall it. late last Fall it was
indicated "to' me that the Council
of Blyth was interested 'in having.
OHC senior citizen's units built in
Blyth. Accordingly I got in
,touch with OHC and .I believe Mr.
Darcy Halligan of OHC %lent to •
Blyth to discuss the matter with
the Reeve. ..However, it was in-
dicated to Mr .Halligan that
Blyth was pursuing .the possibility
of instaling sewers and I, know that
there has been some discussion
from now on you can boast of one
man who did crack his shirt tail
while working for you."
She laughed a hearty laugh as she
took in the situation. And pres-
ently she appeared in the "stoop"
with a well filled, plate of whole-
some food, and. all was well.
with the Ministry of Environment
-with regard to 'this matter. I •
think progress has' been.somewhat
slow but , I gather that OHC has
suggested, that they would prefer
that some form of undertaking be
signed by the village to instal sew-
ers before, they go any further. My
understanding is that is has been
made clear that this is not 'a nec-
essity 'in order to initiate a survey
but , it would be preferable.
There is only one instance where
OHC has built units in our area
where sewers,were not instaled
in the Town and that is in Tees-
water. The policy of OHC and
Central Mortgage Housing
Corporation is that only in isolat-
ed cases will OHC units be built
without 'sewer Jacilities. In the
case of Teeswater CMI-ICgave its
apprOvaL which is required in
order that units be built without
sewers because , it felt that the
units in Teeswater could be ade -
quately handled by a septic tank '
system. In Lucknow, Ripley, .
Mildmay and Brussels , all of
which do -not have'sewers, sur-
veys hiye been done but , that is
as 'far as it has gone with the ex-
ception of Brussels where proper-
ty has been acquired from the
Town. HoWever, ,CMHC•approv•
al has not been given for that
either'and is a major hurdle. So
of the Ones I 'mentioned the only
one that has gone forward to
completion is Te'eswater.
In discussing this matter with
Mr. Halligan of OHC today he
infortins me that OHC is quite
prepared to do a survey in Blyth
if that is the wish. However,
OHC cannot guarantee CMHC
approval because each applica 7
tion is judged on its own merits
and generally speaking CMHC •
has been most Jeluctant to ap-
prove these applications where
no sewer facilities.are present.
Indeed , up until a year or so ago,
my understanding is they would
not approve,them at all. In the
case of Teeswater , initially.
CMHC rejected the application
but, they were asked to reconsid7
er on additional information and
later provided .it,
I wanted to bring this informa -
tion to your 'attention in the hope
it would help clarify the issue
you raised in your editorial.
As a foot note I may say that
in my dealings with Ol'IC over the
clothes that keeps me out. have
no tail on my shirt," and to prove
it I pulled my shirt up from my
trousers and showed her what
had happened. "You have heard
the expression I• am' sure," I said,
"get a. move on and crack your
shirt tail.' Well that is just what I
have done. At least one man has
worked for you who has done it lit.
er ally as well as figuratively."
She looked at me at first in horror.
Her sensitive' soul was shocked at
my seeming rudeness. Then her
senses of humor triumphed and,
she laughed. quite heartily.'
"How did that happen?" she
asked. "It is very simple," I
replied". We have had some very.
hot' days in the last week or two.
The shirt had seen, its best' days
and I guess is getting rotten. I
have perspired a lot , working out
in the heat. Bending over with a
fork in my hand, day after day
has proven more than the • old
shirt could take. The constant
perspiration, I guess has hastened
the inevitable. There was no
loud explosion that. I was aware
of. But suddenly I knew some-
thing had given away, and I
removed the last shreds. •So now
you see why I can't go. in. And
