Huron County Em
Looks Better Than
Employment in Goderich and
throughout most of H u r on
County generally remained
good during the month of De-
cember, following a trend set
earlier in the year.
Figures released this week
by C. M. Jutras, manager of the
National Employment Service
at Goderich, reveal that at the
end of December, 1965, there
were 389 applicants registered
for employment against 494 at
the end of the same period in
1964.
This substantial decrease of
105 persons or 21.5% in appli-
cants registered for employ-
ment with the Goderich NES
over the previous year is indic-
ative of the continued stability
in the manufacturing industry
ployment Situation
in Previous Years
and also of the marked increase
in construction projects in the
area over previous years.
As anticipated, normal sea-
sonal lay-offs in road construc-
tion, commercial fishing and
Great Lakes shipping occa-
sioned a noticeable rise in un-
employment from November to
December, 1965. The employ-
ment outlook for the beginning
of 1966, however, remains very
good, with numerous job oppor-
tunities being listed with the
Goderich NES, in service, man-
ufacturing and construction oc-
cupations.
Despite the season of the
year, a total of 104 persons
were placed in employment by
the Goderich NES during De-
cember.

THE STURDY ONES REMAIN
This is the time of year when.
we get rid of all the undesira-
bles in the community. By um
desirables, I mean people with
more money than I: They leave
our northern community for
Florida, M e x i c o, the West
Indies.
In one fell swoop we get rid
of all the softies, the cowards,
the sybarites. In short, the rich
white trash.
It's as much a part of our
heritage as the Saturday night
bath, or spring cleaning. And
I think it's a good thing.
When the last barber or
bricklayer has bragged about
being off to the Bahamas, when
the last 'druggist or doctor has
informed me pompously that
"We'll probably take in Acapul-
co this year," I feel a sense of
relief.
The rats have left the freez-
ing srip, and there's only the
hard core, the sturdy pioneer
types, the rugged individualist
and the poor people, left in the
temperate (hah!) zone.
Tre rest of us, the best of us,
can get down to the real glory
of winter living, without stum-
bling over a lot of sissies who
are better off down there get-
ting sand in their navels.
As one of the old true-blue
breed, fighting it out with the
elements, I am inclined to scorn
them. As a humanitarian, I can
only pity them. Think of what
they're missing.
What is there in the soft and
sensuous south to equal that
crunch of toes breaking off,
that crack of bursitis in the
shoulder when you throw the
first curling stone, that snap of
thigh bones on the ski hill?
Let's take a, look at a couple
of these hot -weather hounds.
Look at this bird in Florida.
Gets out of bed and there's that
same old 'crumby, monotonous
sun blazing down, just like all
the other days. Same old rou-
tine. The inevitable orange
juice on the inevitable patio;
the inevitable trip to the beach
with the inevitable obscenely
fat softies lying all around. Or
the inevitable sweating it out
on the golf course with a lot of
other middle-aged liars.
And here's our pal in Mexico
just getting up at 10:3.0 He
hasn't paid last year's income
tax yet, but he borrowed
$1,500 from the bank to snake
the trip. He has a hangover

from those six -ounce, forty -cent
Mexican drinks, and a twisted
back from trying to tango.
His wife, in the other twin
bed, looks like a inmate of
Belsen, because she's had Mexi-
can complain t, commonly
known as dire rear, ever since
they crossed the border. She
whines, he snarls. They totter
out into the muggy heat. And
another horrible clay in Acapul-
co has begun.
It's not like that around here,
My daughter wakes me at six -
thirty and I call a cheery good -
morning. It may sound a bit
more like "RUMPH" but it's
well meant. My life's partner
shoves me out with her foot ten
minutes later.
Down to a jolly breakfast; vi-
tamin pills, .cupna tea and half -
slice of toast. There's the thrill
of variety as you prepare for
the day. When dawn comes, will
the sun be shining, the snow
falling, or a blizzard howling?
Out into the wild white yon-
der. Grab the shovel and make
the snow fly, chuckling heartily
all the while as you think of
those poor slobs in the south,
with nothing to do every day
but the same old things.
The clean, fresh, northern air
hits your lungs like a dum-dum
bullet. Bark seal -like greeting
to neighbor, whose head is just
visible over his snowbank,
Off to the garage. Excite-
ment of wondering whether the
car will start. The sheer, de-
monic joy of belting out the
driveway backwards and trying
to smash through the bank the
snowplow has thrown up. Some-
times you make it.
The skidding, slithering ad-
venture of the drive to work,
Wheels s p i n n i n g, visibility
12 feet,' every man for himself.
The goodfellowship and viva-
city of the teachers' cloakroom,
everyone s t a m p i n g, cursing,
and running at the nose.
And another day of glorious
winter living has begun. Don't
try to tell me about the seduc-
tion of the languorous south -
land. Just give me the crisp,
virile challenge of living where
men are men. And you can tell
them from women. When you
get them thawed out.
