The Wingham Advance-Times, 1972-10-19, Page 17Our' class time tables have
undergone -some changes. The
rst two periods of the day have
been moved to the time slots pre-
viously occupied by periods eight
and nine, the last of the day. They
in turn, are now periods one and
two. There were several reasons
for the switch. First,'to help re-
lieve the monotony of a constant
daily schedule. - Secondly, those
who frequently miss afternoon
classes because of sports can get
caught up in those subjects.

What are Young Voyageurs?
Many have not heard of thi"s inter-
provincial -exchange of students
sponsored by the federal govern-
ment. last summer, thousands of
young Canadians were on the
move, learning, accepting differ-
ent customs, experiencing new
changes and, meeting other Voya-
geurs; I know, I was one of them.
Our group. of 21 students travel-
led just to Ottawa and from there
to Quebec. In Ottawa we visited,
toured and met many Voyageurs
from other provinces who all
visited Ottawa for two days be-
fore departing for their destina-
tions. By bus we left for Montreal
where we spent a week billeted
with French Voyageurs who es-
corted us in Montreal on our
tours.
From Montreal we went to
Quebec City where we stayed

Did it again!
The Junior Mustangs won their
sixth straight game last week by
a score of 19-0 over the Clinton
Redmen. Wingham's touchdowns
were scored by Murray Arm-
strong, Ian Montgomery, and
Keith Raymond. Raymond also
scored a single point. The offen-
sive line blocked well to help the
running game.
The defense played another
stalwart game, holding Clinton,to
little yardage. Special mention
must be made of Stewart Mann
who prevented a touchdown by
Clinton on a kickoff by finally
catching the ball carrier on the 35
yard line.
_This ---waw -the--Juniors--ssix h
straight win. They have scored
126 points and allowed only seven
against them.

team consists of Captain Randy'

players has been faithfully work-
ing out each night for the past
several weeks under the watchful
eye of their coach, Mr. Wolsey
and their assistant coach and
general manager, Michael Heim. •
This team played it their first
tournament on Sept. 28 here at
Wingham. Due to stiff competi-
tion and some tough luck, they
did not win any games and lost
onematch to Seaforth and an-
other one to Clinton. With grim
determination they entered their
second tournament on Oct. 12 at
Goderich. They won their first
game of the season against Exe-

Are Canadians really -just Americans
•
paisguise?:
y Doug Thomson 13C
A few years ago `I went withlOy parents
for three weeks, to the beachei of Miami,
Florida. When we crossed the border into
Canada again I was compelled to kiss the
cbld, salty, snowy ground of home. Why? We
must have something Americans don't have
for me to display such a repulsive' ad of
loyalty.
In his essay "The Political Destiny of
Canada", Goldwin Smith says,that Canadian
nationality is a lost cause and the ultimate
union of Canada and the U.S. appears to be
morally certain. Somehow I don't think
we've got that much in common! More and
more Canadians are becoming prouder and
prouder that they are indeed Canadians.
Hdrry J. Boyle is convinced that Expo
was important in creating a unity and that
the flame lit in 1967. was symbolic of our
r . .
"Canadian" Spirit.
How many people, for instance, were en-
thusiastic.when the Canadian team defeated
the Russians in hockey? ' How many of our
players said they were glad to be home in
Canada and were glad they were Canadians?
Almost.ever''y one of them !
Walter Gordon takes the opposite view to
that of Goldwin Smith and reminds us that
Canada is the second largest country in the -
world and that we are one of the few coun-
tries with enough raw resources to be indus-
trially self-sufficient. ,
No one ever heard of an American kiss- .
ing his soil after a short vacation in Canada
because he always wants to come back. With
all this going for us' who needs to join the
States? Maybe they should join us... if we
want the burden of it!
Trip to the far side of, the world
Most of you probably know that
Mrs. Campbell of the History de-
partment has recently made a
trip to India. She spent her three
weeks in Northern India, mainly
in the city of Delhi.
Transportation in India is un-
reliable. People who drive cars

taxi ,drivers often drive without
headlights. People like to lean on
their horns. On leaving Delhi air-
port on an internal flight, the lug-
gage was* left under the plane
where the passengers must claim
their own. Any lug: � that is not
claimed is assum '� to contain
explosives. It seems ironic that in
an airport where security is so
tight, stray dogs should be seen
wandering about the runway.
The people never seem to be in
any hurry to go anywhere or get
anything done. This is due mainly
to the hot, humid weather.
In Delhi there are several com-
mon ways to obtain goods. You
can go to the stores, to the market
place, or you can stay home and
wait for one of the, numerous
door-to-door salesmen to come to
your home. The majority of shop-
keepers speak English. Stores
employ a great many people.
There is the salesman, the boy
who brings the article you have
chosen to the clerk, whom you
pay, the boy who' brings the ar-.
ticle to the wrapper, and the
wrapper himself. The merchants
expect you to haggle with them
over prices.
The wealthy Indians can enjoy
the good meals that are served in
hotels. A good meal costs less
than you would pay for it here.
They use curry freely in their
dishes. The main meats are
lamb, chicken, fish and shrimp.
Water buffalo is also sold in the
market places. The white people
in India pre-soak their vegetables
in a diluted iodine solution to
purify the food. Many people in
India get a sickness called Delhi -
belly which is, a little worse then
our flu. The well-off people also
have servants to do all of their
housekeeping chores, since labor
is so cheap.
The poor Indians can buy food
which is ready cooked, in the
marketplace. This food is usually
deep fried and is eaten out of the
hand. Not as much attention is.
paid to cleanliness. Some of these
people do not even have homes to
sleep in so they carry cots with
them and at night they sleep in
the street.
White cattle wander about the
country. It is quite common to see
them resting on the medians that
divide the roads. The people pay
no special attenion to them. The
reason why they are still left
alone is tradition more than re-
ligion.
Mrs. Campbell found that the
most interesting thing about her
trip was seeing how peoplg live on
the other 'side of the world.

The offense played an im-
proved game on Thursday, al-
though they were'unable-to score.
Injuries were suffered by Ken
Gowing and Cliff Mann. There
was a strong team effort but Clin-
ton took advantage of their
breaks.
The final- score was Clinton 21,
Madill 0.
On defense, outstanding effort
was shown by the entire front line
(Dave Thomas, Terry Carter,
Eric McKenzie, 'Murray Ray-
mond, and Pat O'Malley). Strong
secondary efforts by our two run-
ning backs, Bob Moffat and Rae
Nicholson were responsible for
good offensive gains.

Sr, boys'
VoUleyball
On Thursday, Oct.. 12, the Sen-
ior Volleyball team travelled to
Goderich for the second of three
meetings with the other four
Huron teams. In their first Match
the boys just couldn't get rolling
and went down in two straight
games against ,Exeter. The
scores were 15-12 and 15-9. The
second match . against Goderich
went a little better as the Madill
team got one win out of the three •
games. In the first game, the
Goderich spike proved to be a lit .
tle too well practised as that team
took the game by a score of 15-3.
The second game however, was a
different story. John Peet finally.
found a good serving . technique,
and came up with some valuable
points as Madill came from a 1:0-6
defeat to take the game 15-11. In.
the third game it was Goderich
who came from behind to win the
game and match with a score 'of •
15-7. The play of the Madill team
was much better than the scores
indicate. It was mostly a case of
the wrong thing happening at the
wrong time.
Every member of the team de-
serves a lot of credit, and we wish
them luck in the third meeting: to
be held at Clinton.

Amundsen's plan for reaching the
South Pc le was simple; travel as light.
and fa?;t as possible using dog teams
all the way. Scott planned on a com-
bination of motorized sleds, Man-
churian Fontes and dog sleds as far
as the Polar Plateau. From there a
single sled would be man -hauled to
the Pole and back to McMurdo --over
one thousand miles.
All during the Antartic winter, as
he laid out supply depots on the route
he would take, A mundsen checked and
tested his equipment. Sleds were.re-
built, packing cases were planed
down to lighten them; trail tents were
redesigned; even the men's boots were
torn apart and reassembled. In cal-
culating the food requirements for the
journey, Amundsen included the fifty
pounds of edible neat on each dog.
Scott also worked through the winter
layin,g out supply depots along his
rdute, hut made kw of the improvi-
sions that Amundsen did. He would
rely mainly on strong logistical sup-
port and a.latge team.
on October 20, 1911, Amundsen
and four companions started for the
South Pole with four sleds, fifty-two
dogs ,and four months food supply.
The weather held fair and on Novem-
ber 6, only eighteen days out, they
were at the base of the Polar Plateau.
Here a blizzard pinned them down for
four days. For the next three weeks
they struggled across glaciers to, the
top oftheplateau. Halfwayuptwenty-
six of the dogs were killed; they were
eating more than they hauled.
Scott started for the Pole on Nov-
ember;' with sixteen men, two motor-
ized sleds, thirteen regular sleds, ten
ponfes and twenty-three dogs. Within
a weelAc the motor sleds broke down
and had to be abandoned. Blizzards,
gales and an unexpected thaw slowed
the .party down and the ponies were
shot one by one to provide food.
Finally in early December after thirty
days on the Ice Barrier, Scott and his
party reached the base of the plateau.
Here the last ponies were shot. •
