PG» 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan..: Eiior ia 1 Good luck new councils This week the new councils elected in the December elec- tions will be meeting for the first tithe in the villages' and townships of our community. A new year's wish might be to bring them luck in the coming term. They will need more than luck, of course. They will need a lot of hard work and consideration. And they will -need the help and understanding of the people of their municipalities. - They will be subjected to a lot of unfair critism during the next two years and likely some fair criticism as well. It isn't easy being a councillor. It isn't easy trying to find a nice way of telling someone to go jump off a bridge when they bring some hair -brained demands before council. It isn't easy telling someone with a legitimate demand that it can't be met because there just isn't enough money for everything. The -past couple of decades have seen a complete shift in patterns in Canada. Until 20 years or so ago, people believed in as little government as possible. They then began to want the government to provide more services and the snowball has been growing ever since. Citizens complain on the one hand about too -high taxes, and on the other hand that the government does not provide enough services. People used to:keep up,township roads themselves with volunteer labour. Now it takes one or two more expensive graders "and untold hired equipment to keep township roads in operation. People in towns used to shovel their own walks. Now they demand the town do it. • A second turn -around must come soon or the country will be in trouble, Governments cannot continue to be the fairy godmother who answers the wish of every citizen. Taxes cannot continue to grow. , - What is needed is for citizens to realize they cannot have forever more and more from their government. What is needed is for the old sense of community participation to come back, for people to pitch in with their time and talent to give the extras we would like to have. '- Certainly we can not go back to the old days of statuatory labour. Nor can we let our roads go unplowed in the winter, Some functions the government must do. But every citizen must do everything he can to relieve the burden of, mounting demands on municipal governments. 1973- time for new effort -" A new year is here and it is a new chance for us to improve our community. Let's hope everyone in the area made at least one res - N._ olution this year: to do something to make his community a better place to live, It used to be that this was the time of the year when all newspapers wrote editorials hoping for a year of growth and properity for their community. But in recent years it has become apparent that growth is not always good and prosperity can be measured in more than dollars and cents, Quality of life, that's the keyword today. It means that there is no sense having a million dollars if you have to live in a pig sty. It means that money can't buy you a longer life if you live in polluted air and drink polluted water. Now pollution isn't a major factor in our part of the country but quality of life still is. We have spent so much time trying to gain a bigger income, that we have not made our community as good a place to live as possible. We have no ;pollution in our own way, We have unsightly empty lots and used and unused houses, We have rural junk yards which do • nothing to add to the beauty of the community. We have a. lack of parkland where people can just stroll and enjoy themselves or others can picnic and camp. We have a lack of recreation facilities for adults and most of all for senior citizens. We have a lack of opportunity for young people to find fobs and stay in the area. Growth? Yes, we could use growth, but not as in the past when.it was growth at all costs. We must decide what would be most beneficial for our community and go out and get it. If we need more jobs, then we should do o everything possible to make sure the right kind of business locates in our com- munity to provide the jobs, If we need more shonpine fac- ilities, then we should work hard to help interested business men expand or locate here, We cannot afford to sit idly by as in the past and take what comes along. What comes along usually is not worth • taking. We must strive to build this community, both urban and rural so that it is an example for all other com- munities. If we can get started on this project in the next year 1973 will indeed be a year to be remembered. 73,<6gf V/ O. Pe My/,'7C 6'00 WINN ON ru'Scfi6N.,' /IND A f0,01 nAC!

SHE'S OKAY, FLO 'ER lip CAURI. Don't be surprised if you don't get a Christmas card from me thi,s year. Just keep expecting, and it may roll in sometime between Valen- tine's Day and Easter, I wish I could blame it on the postal' workers, who are the latest villains in everybody's piece, but I must be honest and blame it on the Smileys. Dilatory, procrastinating and just plain lazy are adjec- tives that could be .applied. to us with "impunity, 'And even with relish, if your tastes lie that way, As I write, I can see from the cornerof one eye 140 exam papers to be marked in three- nights, As I glance from the opposite corner of the other eye, I can see a blizzard that has been going on for six hours. Neither of these sights is inclined to make one's goose hang high, However, "Life is the life" as my daughter remarked at the age of six, and it's been a family motto ever since, I'm not sure • what it means, but there is something very profound behind that simple observa- tion. It's really my wife's fault that Christmas • is not all teed up and ready to be sliced into the rough. Normally, she's sitting around , brooding about Christmas, this time of year, But this year she's sitting around brooding about NOT brooding about Christ- mas. How could anybody blame the poor kid because she's not fretting about the holiday season?She has this teaching position, you see, and there simply isn't time to worry about anything else. It's a tremendous load. She has to get up at the crack of about 8.30 to put her hair in curlers, you see, Then she has to trudge through the snow for 94 yards, snow -plowed, to get to work. There, she teaches for 35 solid minutes, Most of the afternoon is spent preparing next day's lesson, Most of the evening is spent in describing to me the hor- rors orrors and delights of her "day" in the classroom. Who has time to worry about Christmas decora- tions, cards and such? So; we have once again made, our annual vows, No cards,_no Christmas pres- ents, no time-consuming, silly decorations, 1 can just see us now. December 22nd we'll be up all night writing cards, lick- ing and stamping envelopes, On December 23rd, we'll be dashing around town, paw- ing through the left -overs for gifts. And on December 24th, I'll be taking the name. of the Lord and most bio- logical functions in vain as 1 try to prop up a skimpy tree with a butt as crooked as the, leg of a goat, The tree, not me, On Christmas Eve, when most people are going to church, or listening to carols, or sitting by the fire, I'll be in the kitchen, up to my elbows in turkey dress- ing. 1 always get this job, And I know why. No- body can turn out a stuffing like yours truly. I like it neither dry nor soggy, but moist, and with a life of its own. 1 use the standard ingredients: fried onions and celery, bread crumbs (real, not bought), and a good dash of everything in the spice cupboard, from tabasco sauce to chili powder. Add half a pound of butter, melted. Toss in some ground chicken or turkey gizzard, with the water it's been boiled in, And every time you have a shot of rye, give the turkey one. That means that you'll get up in the morning on equal terms, and after the bird has got over his hang- over, you'll have a real, live 31 las\ h. z: tikith 1 BELATED GREETINGS! THAT'S MY STYLE bird, with a personality all his own, on your hands. It does wonders for the inhib- ited dinner guests, too. • I've heard good teetotal- ers say, after three helpings of my dressing, "Wow, one more of those and 1 could fly". It's most distressing when they try it. Keep a firm hand on the gravy boat when this occurs, One must, of course, be temperate in making this dressing. One year I had a turkey so high he got up and tried to fly off the plat- ter as I was carrying him in from the kitchen. That's what I told my wife, any- way. She claims it wasn't the turkey's fault that it wound up on the kitchen floor, in a pool of grease, with twelve starving people waiting. But I'm getting away from my theme, whatever it was. Oh, yes, Christmas cards.• Well, a few special ones , maybe. To O.G. Alexander of Chicago. Reads my col- umn in Kincardine News. Has taught school 'for 45 years and is still alive. Stout chap!

Winter " struck swift, sure and without mercy this year, Five days before Christmas we'd had about two feet of snow in these parts, along with the usual combination. of blizzard. force winds and a generous sprinkling of freezing rain, Today, with my drive- way plugged again and my sidewalk 'drifted in a foot deep, and myself still nurs- ing a deep cold contracted two months ago, I'd be just' as . happy if somebody' marched me out, stood me with my back against the garage, and shot me, right under the flower -box, It was a pretty uncheery holiday at our place, It wasn't planned; it just turn- ed out that way. Pd bought the usual pair of trees, a spruce and a Scotch pine, Too sick to put them up and they sit by' the back door, forlorn, covered with snow and ice, The Old Lady caught her second round of 'flu and just didn't feel like coping with family, decorations and the whole Christmas scramble. She was even too sick to lash me on to greater heights, which is mighty sick, We had hamburg for our festive dinner, Missed three holiday parties and had to cancel our own. Didn't even get out to church, Thought desperately of fleeing the whole thing, going to Montreal to spend Christmas with number one son, and . eating out, Couldn't get a plane or train ticket and didn't ,feel up to driving, Thought even more des- perately of fleeing south, whatever the cost, Same thing, No seats, Didn't get our cards started, " let alone finished, Didn't get the wreath of holly on the door, or the mistletoe up. In fact, you name it, and we didn't get it done, This is a solemn warning to whoever is in charge of things, If they don't get 'better smartly in 1973, there'sgoing to be trouble, I've been through two rounds of anti -biotics and about 300 pounds of cal- cium tablets, in an effort to shift my cold. It worked, I shifted it from my head to my chest and back again and now it's penetrated as far as my big toe, My, this IS a dreary little recital of woe, isn't it? Come on, Bill, surely some- thing remotely pleasant happened, Well, yes, We did enjoy getting cards from all the old friends, It's good to know that not everybody has one foot, both physical - THE BLYTH STANDARD, . Jan. 3, 1973. PC,11, Sugar and spice ly and mentally, on the edge of the grave, And there is the cheering thought that everything has no place to go but up, Lucky that came out spelled. right, Typed it with all my fingers crossed, And there is one thing to hang on for, We're going to go south for a week in March and try to make the sun and the rum put some life back into the reluctant bones, There will probably be a revolution on our Caribbean island the week we're there, But I don't care, By March I'll probably be quite happy to be planted under a palm tree, even if it's permanent, It's a better way to go than a snow -shovelling heart at- tack, or getting lost in a blizzard between the house and garage and being frozen to death. Even the calendar con- spired this year. School teachers can usually count on a week's holiday to re- charge the batteries before plunging back into the long winter term. Wouldn't you know it? This year,. with Christmas and New Year falling on Monday, we got exactly three days of holi- day, aside from the legal ones. I know what you're saying, "Eat your heart out, teach." Oh, well, you can't win them all, and I've won some good ones. I do admit that I'm feeling a bit like Job ex- cept for the boils, But then, of course, my hemorrhoids are acting up, so we're even, • I guess, until we see what 1973 has in store, we'll just have to go around muttering things like; "Hang in there, kid" 'and "Keep the faith, baby" and "We shall over- come" and "Next year, Jerusalem," There's no use complain- ing, Is there? Especially when you've already been doing so for some six hundred words, Whatever befalls me and mine, I want to end rotten old 1972, which seemed eight years long, by thank- ing all the readers who sent cards and letters during the year, and wishing all readers a great big, beautiful year to come, with unexpected pleasant surprises and lotsa luck with the tax collectors, THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO.
