Clinton News-Record, 1970-01-29, Page 3I don't know whether dr not
you noticed, but there was no
column last week, just couldn't
put one together because I was
laid low with the flu bug.
I .think it was the flu. It had
all the symptoms of the flu but-
you knew, of course, nowadays
you have to prove which strain
of the flu you have before you
impress anyone of note with
YPhr complaint.
The doctor who called on me
in my hour of need accepted my
diagnosis as correct. He didn't
come close enough to the bed to
argue, at any rate. He simply
asked me what was the matter
and I told him I thought I had
the flu. He muttered
"M-m-m-m" and ordered some
pills from the drugstore which
he told me wouldn't do much
for the flu but would prevent
complications from setting in.
Then he left.
Oh yes. He did stipulate one '
more thing..„well, actually two
things. He told me to drink
about .15 pints of fluids per day
and to stay in bed. As most
anyone would realize right away,
it is impossible to do both at the
same time.
Now that I am out and
around again, I find that
everybody has the flu but that
nobody believes it has reached
epidemic proportions) You see,
before it can be called an
epidemic it must be judged as
such by the local medical officer
of health. In our county the
MOH is home in bed with the flu
and can't be called out to
proclaim a state of emergency.
So, as far as the officials are
concerned, there is no serious
alarm over the flu.
Had 'a chat last night with a
doctor who told me his office is
full of sick people, his telephone
is ringing off the wall because of
sick people and 98 percent of his
calls that day bad been on
pedple who have all the signs of
flu. Still, he would not admit
there was cause for concern. He
gave the pat answer — it is
running about normal for this
time of year.
According to statistics,
January isn't even considered to
be the time for a flu problem.
February is nationally
recognized as' influenza month.
Perhaps that's why so many
people are having such luck in
locating their doctors at
horne....it seems to me that
doctors usually leave town in
droves, when the population
really needs them. But this year,
the flu arrived unexpectedly and
caught' the doctors just a little
off guard.
A couple' of doctors I know
are taking a few days off this
week or .next. They are leaving
for points unknown and are
hoping to return with renewed
vigor to take up the fight against
influenza.
And then you meet the hardy
ones who insist they have the flu
now and have had it for a week
or more. They just haven't
stopped long enough to have it
properly diagnosed, they say.
It isn't that I doubt their
word entirely. Maybe they do
feel miserable, perhaps in
sympathy with a wife or
husband who has given up and
gone to bed with the ailment.
But I wonder if it is much more
than a disease , within the mind
because it takes a mighty strong
personality to do battle with the
flu and stay vertical.
So whether you have the Al,
A2 or A3 variety of the flu or
whether you really know for
certain at all thatyou have the
flu, my advice to• you is to stay
in bed, drink plenty of liquid
and don't write any columns
until you feel much, much
better.
Upon looking over these
remarks I have just written, I
wonder if I'm -actually ready to
be writing again. Maybe I should
have stayed away from the
typewriter for yet another week.
Make TV your
servant
You don't have to miss a
favorite TV show because you're
out at the theatre. You can have
your choice of FM-radio
concerts even if they're
broadcast while you're at work.
The secret lies in the wealth of
new equipment now on the
market, says Donald R. Gordon
in the January issue of the
monthly Financial Post
Magazine. For $15,000, Gordon
mastered the whole gaudy
kaleidescope of electronic sight
and sound that pours into the
Canadian home. He escaped the
iron grip of broadcasting
schedules. His equipment
automatically records the
broadcasts Gordon wants, even
though he might be thousands of
miles away. At the flick of a
switch, it plays them back to
him; or gives him highest-fi
music from records or tapes; or
bathes him in live color TV.
"I became the owner of a
home entertainment complex
just about as versatile, foolproof
and up-to-date as money can
buy," Gordon writes.

W.I. meets
The January meeting of the
Clinton Women's Institute was
held in the Wesley-Willis Church
basement on Thursday
afternoon January 22, with a
very good attendance. The
meeting was in charge of the
first vice president, Mrs. .0.
Popp. Miss L. Langford gave the
motto on health. In her remarks
she gave us the 'Do's, and the
Twit's' on a very timely
subject, the common cold,
explaining how a virus is so
easily spread around, and how
just as easily can be prevented
with just a little care and
common sense.
Mrs. C. Nelson spoke on home
economics. She also gave a
demonstration on a seven course
dinner served in a casserole. Mrs.
J. Grigg gave a reading. Plans
were made for the birthday
party to be held at Huronview
next month. A committee was
appointed to look after
programs. A lunch was served by
Mrs. C. Nelson's group.

John Haigh, formerly of the

CFB Clinton,
Recently Mr. and Mrs.
Norman Tyndall received a letter
from a man they had long ago
given up hope of ever
communicating with again,
During the late 1930's John
Haigh worked on the Tyndall's
farm south of Clinton, part of
what is now the Canadian Forces
Base, He left in 1939 and the
Tyndall's had not heard from
him since. De those years he
joined the army and travelled
widely.

Hi Norman, Hilda and Son.
January 10, 1970.
Happy New Year to you all
around Clinton area. When I got
pensioned off from the army we
settled in Brandon, Manitoba.
worked for Department of
Northern Affairs as a cook first
class for five years, going up into
the arctic with construction
crews putting up gtefab
dwellings for the Eskimos.
The Department of Transport
offered me a chef's job at my
present address so it worked out
at $1,500 a year more. So yours
truly grabbed it up in a hurry I
can tell you.
I have been with the DOT for
four years now. I will only work
for four more years and then
retire. That will bring me up to
62 years old by then. My wife
and youngest daughter went
home to Wales last" August for'a
month's holiday. We are going to
Mexico City for three weeks
next winter.
I just made 12 loaves of bread
and 36 buns plus pumpkin pie
and whipped some cream for it.
We are an isolated weather
station 365 miles north of Lynn
Lake, Manitoba, and are 100
miles north of the tree line in
the barren lands of N.W.T.
We only get a supply plane in
once a month with fresh meats
and', mail, vegetables, fruit and
goodies. I guess there are not
many people around Clinton I
would remember now. It's quite
a few years since I was around
there.
All the best,
John.

Purple Patches originated in
1946 as a student written and
directed revue, and quickly
became a popular annual event
in the London area as well as on
campus. CBC celebrity, Max
Ferguson, is a "Patcher" from
this time, as is this year's
director, Don Fleckser.
In 1961, the Patches forma;
was changed and production of
Broadway musicals started. For
one year, 1959.60, during the
period of transition from revue
to musical, two small shows
were produced rather than one
major production.
Althouse College of
Education, which has theatre
facilities, was completed in 1966
and Patches moved out of the
Grand Theatre in downtown
London and onto the university
campus. Shows were produced
here for four years, including
"South Pacific", and "A Funny
Thing Happened on the .Way to
the Forum." This year, Patches
has moved into Alumni Hall,
also on campus.
Although the director,
musical director and set designer
are hired from outside the
student body, all other
positions, administrative and
technical as well as cast are filled
by students.
In 1969, the sets were
designed by two students instead
of an outside designer. Four
The Annual Congregational.
Vestry meeting of Trinity
Anglican Church in Bayfield was
held in the Parish Hall on
Thursday evening, January 22nd
with a good attendance and the
Rector, Rev, E, J. B. Harrison,
presiding.
He gave his annual report of
general and statistical nature and
reports were given by the
Wardens and officers of the
church 'organizations and others
which showed a very good and
satisfactory report generally as
shown by the Treasurer's
statement presented by Mrs.
Alfred LeBeau. The Sunday
School report showed,, as did the
Rector's, that Sunday School
had been resumed last summer,
after a temporary period of
inactivity, in a small way as
there is not a large pupil
potential which makes the work
there rather limited.
The hours of service will
remain as at present, namely 8
and 9:30 every Sunday, and the
Cent-A-Meal Fund will be
continued for the present with
Mrs. George Bellchamber in
charge of it. Hearty votes of
thanks were extended and
special mention of the work of
the treasurer and the envelope
secretary, and gratitude and
appreciation to Lloyd
Scotchmer for his great concern
and help in the welfare of the
years previously, when these
students came out to work with
Patches for the first time, they
knew nothing of carpentry or set
design. This, perhaps, best
illustrates the main aim of
Purple Patches, which is to
provide a teaching experience in
theatre for interested students.
"Learn by doing!"
Purple Patches is a non-profit
organization, and a group
member of the University
Students' Council. The
admission charge ,is used entirely
to cover expenses which usually
run to $10,000 for a single
production. About two hundred
students are involved each year.
These two factors contribute to
Purple Patches' reputation as the
largest amateur student
theatrical production in Canada.
