Board of Education get no help from Kerr on Blyth school There won't be any support from Energy Minister George Kerr in the battle to get the tile bed of the sewage system at Blyth Public School back in use. The Huron County Board of Education had appealed to Mr. Kerr after Huron County Officer of Health Frank Mills had said the bed could not be used, It means the school will have to continue to use the holding tank and pump it out the effluent at a cost of $5000 a year. Dr. Mills ordered the septic tank sealed off in February 1974, because he said effluent from the tank was leaking up to the surface of the school yard. The dispute over the 265 -pupil school has continued between the board and the medical officer since. The board has accused Dr, Mills of ,acting arbitrarily and being unco-operative in trying to find a solution to the problem, In November, Blyth area Trustee John Elliott accused Dr, Mills of being "too poCverful." He said the board had come up with alternatives to pumping the tank or closing the school, but Dr. Mills had refused to give reasons for turning them down. The board had made repeated requests to Dr. Mills for specific answers but never got any, he said, Mr. Elliott askedthe board to write to local MPP's in a effort to get the provincial government to intervene. "I am sorry 1 cannot offer you a less expensive solution, however...in matters of public health, the medical officer of health is in complete control. "While your proposal is to construct alarm systems and have staff at the school observe the situation periodically, it is Dr. Mills' contention that the same individuals would be involved that were doing it prior to his taking the drastic action that he did. Therefore, there would really be no improvement and the potential for the public health problem would still exist," the letter said. The county public health office said it had warned the board for a year of the potential problem at the school but nothing was done about it until the medical officer ordered the tank sealed off. Mr. Elliott said he didn't know for sure what action the board should take after receiving Mr. Kerr's letter, but he said the board should write the minister and the MOH objecting to Dr. Mills' contention that the board's staff was not competent enough to supervise the alarm system. "i question his right to determine the competence of our staff at the school, the maintenance staff and the director of education, Mr, John Cochrane," the trustee said. He said the board had originally asked why Dr. Mills felt the architect -designed alarm system would not work, but had received no answers, The only reply had been based on the competence of the people, he said. Mr, Cochrane said the school has a new principal since the tank was closed, contradicting part of the medical officer's argument. Mr. 'Elliott said the board wants a written answer from Dr. Mills explaining why he thinks the technical system will not work, "Just the system -not the people," Mr. Elliott said, Dr. Mills would not comment on the board's actions Tuesday. Paul Ross was acclaimed to the post of President of the Blyth Board of Trade when the organization held its annual meeting at the Blyth Inn Hotel on Monday night. Mr. Ross operates a law office in Blyth part-time and is a partner in the firm of Menzies and Ross in Clinton. He succeeds Mason Bailey as president. Only 14 persons attended the meeting out of a membership of 43 in the boars' Considerable trouble was had t !ling the executive position. Douglas Whiinore was returned Vice-president of the organi- zation. The group voted to proceed with planning with the Blyth Horticultural Society in brightening main street through the use of plants and flowers. A committee comprised of Mr. Ross and Mr. Whitmore. will co-ordinate decorating of Main Street for the centennial Committees named for Blyth Council Committees of the Blyth village council were appointed at the council meeting on January 3.

'Tis Show Biz Story tries to get people moving BY VONNI LEE A story designed to spur people to action to save their country, "Someday Soon" took • us to a grim day in 1980 when Manitoba farmers are losing a fight with big business and government red tape and thus, their livelihood, The play marked the debut of a snew series, "For the Record", last Sunday evening at 9. The story is based on the North Dakota Garrison project, a billion - dollar irrigation project now being constructed in the state bordering on Manitoba. Present-day Mani- ' toba farmers are obviously concerned about the project and having a lot of nightmares about the possible outcome, Two writers, Rudy Wiebe and Barry Pearson, created a play about it. Set in 1980 southern Manitoba, the play is the story of mysterious flooding taking place in the Souris River area. They have not had a heavy winter, spring runoff is not nearly as high as other years. Yet the water continues to rise, Then they find it is contaminated water and polluting their land, their drinking water, their livestock, They seek government help and when it is not forthcoming, they take action themselves. The writers obviously feel very strongly about this and with their play, have sought to arouse a nation to Manitoba's plight, as well as stirring placid people into action. Very often, there is strength in numbers and good can be accomplished if people are willing to fight for a cause. What they play really points out is that the tragedy could have been averted if action had been taken sooner, perhaps three years sooner, in 1977. But too many people arc content to sit back and watch, not wishing to become involved, "Someday Soon" was filmed on location in Southern Manitoba and starred John Vernon as the farmers' spokesman, 1.0, Loring. All other members of the cast and many members of the technical crew were from Manitoba, Designed to entertain but also to make people think, it will make Garrison real for Manitobans and make a lot of other people think about the Garrisons they have let get out of control because 'it probably wouldn't do any good to get involved', 0.0.0.0 The place was Moscow, home of the greatest ballet company in all the world, the Bolshoi. The event was "Giselle" and a young prima ballerina from Canada and her handsome off-stage and on-stage love, son of a Hamilton steel worker, stole the show. Last Wednesday evening, Muscovites rose to their feet and gave a nine -minute standing ovation to Karen Kain and Frank Augustyn. The Russians are perfectionists when it comes to ballet. They know what they like and what they like is great. They don't often bring their performers back for curtain calls; perfection is expected, not rewarded. But eight times, our little Canadians bowedto appreciative audiences; a triumph not only for them personally but for the entire National Ballet of Canada. After Moscow, the duo was moving to Tallin on the northern coast of Estonia, then to Vilnius, Lithuanis, and Kiev, the Ukraine, In addition to "Giselle", they will also perform the beautiful "Swan Lake". 0.0-0.0 Tears trickled down the pale haggard face of the once -beauti- ful Claudine Longct as she left Aspen, Colorado courtroom with her former husband and best friend, Andy Williams. Guilty on a charge of negligent homicide was the verdict and she now awaits sentencing. She was holding a gun when it went off, killing skier Spider Sabich and was originally charged with ' manslaughter. The lesser charge could bring her two years in jail. Always one to shield her three children from publicity or any kind of unpleasantness experienc- ed because they arc stars' children, she has made it into the worst kind of spotlight. Society may put her behind bars and will forget how pathetic she looked, but she and those she loves will live the heartbreak forever. Last Call for Reductions on Regular Mdse. 20% off ends Sat.

Fuzzy logic An ugly thing a beard can be, Just hanging from a chin, Like hanging moss hocked to, a tree, All stringy, long and thin. What grisly things a beard can hold, Has never been explored; But many stories have been told, Of things that have been stored. Some cookie crumbs, some apple seeds, Some soup that's three days old, Some cherry pits and candy beads, All left in there to mold. 1 dislike men who have grown beards, Though some girls think they're neat; I'd rather see a whole man's face, Than what he had to eat!

Like many idealistic people in this world, the writer seems to thinks that now that the party he supports is in office everything will improve. • Odds are that within two years he, and many other supporters of the PQ will be disillusioned people. People in Quebec have become irrational about politics. Robert Bourassa was seen in completely black terms as if his government was the first to invent patronage and other misdoing in Quebec. Many look to Rene Levesque as a knight in shining armour to lead them out of their troubles. But already the same kind of patronage has been shown by the appointment of Yves Michaud as delegate general to France. Many of the sins of the previous government were things imbedded deep in the fabric of Quebec from chronic unemployment to political patronage. Simply changing a government isn't about to change everything for the better, The honeymoon is on for Levesque right now but it will soon end. When he fails to perform the miracle people expect of him they will quickly become disenchanted with him and his party. A man who begins office with high expectations cannot help but have a great fall: take a look at John Diefenbaker and Pierre Trudeau as examples. They cannot possibly live up to the voters expectations. That is why many people with calm heads arc not too worried about the separatist threat in Quebec. They expect that after a few months, even those who voted for Levesque will begin to feel cheated and his call for independance will go unheeded. The only possible hitch is that Levesque is very persuasive has a ready answer to all criticism: that under the federal system he can't accomplish what he wants and just give him an independent country and he'd clean things up in no time. Whether he can really sell that line will mean the difference of whether Canada stays a united nation or not. Morty's missed this time round Morton Shulman over the years has been a thorn in the side (some might call it a pain in the neck) of many governments. First as coroner for the city of Toronto he caused many a stir and then as member of .the provincial legislature he dropped many a bombshell on the Conservative government. Now, as a newspaper columnist he still manages tP grab national headlines with his a'Icgations, this dime that Canadian aid efforts in Haiti are wasted. Unfornately Shulman has always employed the shotgun technique: blasting off in all directions with most of his charge missing the mark while only a few pellets do the job. Shulman has often brought things to the attention of the public which needed to be brought out, Unfortunately, he has also often done a lot of damage with allegations which have prove unfounded. Such seems to be the case in the claims the Canadian International Development Agency is wasting tax money in Haiti. Other newspapers, though always looking for information to embarrass the government with, have found not even one of Shulman's charges to be accurate. Wherever he got his information it seems to have been totally wrong. Indeed, the Toronto Globe and Mail reported in a long article Monday, Canadian aid is doing a great deal to try to raise the miserable living standards of the people of Haiti, one of the 10 poorest nations in the world. Canadians there are working hard, some without pay, to try to give better farming technology, water supply and other needs to the people of that country and more important, to convince the backward people to continue to use them after the Canadians leave. The work of these people and the entire Canadian aid effort is damaged by foolish charges such as Dr. Shulman's, It's time the crusader learned to hold his tongue until he is sure he has the right facts. Letter to the editor TO THE EDITOR RE your very sarcastic editorial on the increase in coffee prices - I object. I don't appreciate being made out to be a caffeine addict taking a trip at the expense of the poor South American plantation peasantry just because I connot • blatantly accept the suggested extreme increase in coffee prices • which I supect to be another political rip-off of the consumer. Since when has the guy doing the "Bull work" been the beneficiary of increased consumer prices? I suggest that rather than picking the pockets of the poor peasant workers, we will be lining the coffers of government bureau- cracy. The issue is not now many cups of coffee we individually consume daily - be we (as you implied) a bunch of money grubbing Wall Street millionaires or not - but rather whether or not the proposed price is justifiably necessary. Linda J. Henry [Lynne] BY KEITH ROULSTON Food prices have fallen in Canada in the past year while everything else has gone up, yet still the complaints are heard weekly even daily about the high cost of food. Recently Rory Leishman in the London Free Press again tackled the issue in a call for a national food policy for Canada. As is usual he found an agricultural economist as spokesman and as usual farm marketing boards became a villain in the piece. Professor R.M.A. Lyons of the University of Manitoba was the critic this time, The argument is that the prices set by marketing boards is geared to the "average" producer and not the most efficient producers. The most efficient producers should be protected, the article argues, but the less efficient should be weeded out. On the surface, the argument sounds reasonable. Why should non -efficient producers be supported at an extra cost to the consumer? But in many cases it is to the benefit of both the farm industry and the consumer that, any of these "inefficient" producers be supported. Most of the efficient farm producers these days are those who have been in the business for a long time: who have been able to build slowly at a time when land prices and machinery prices were lower. They've been smart, yes, and hardworking too, but they were also lucky in the situation which allowed them to get in at the bottom and work up. But this generation of pro- ducers will soon be too old to farm. New farmers will be needed and just where are they to come from. The costs of getting into farming these days are enormous. Where the older farmers could once get into the business with 100 acres, a minimum of equipment and a small mortgage at a low rate of interest, today several hundred acres are needed for efficiency and the equipment needed is a major investment and the interest rate for the loans to buy it all is extremely high. Now where arc the people going to come from to buy these super efficient farms that arc the pride and joy of the economic economists. The investment needed has climbed past the $100,000 mark, past the $200,000 mark and for many of the really efficient farming operations is running closer to the million dollar mark. That's not the kind of money that one carries around in one's pocket. Where does a young farmer come up with that kind of capital? If he can find it, how many people in this day and age would be willing to invest in such a risky business as farming? The only answer seems to be that there will be a greater and greater consolidation of farming among the few who can finance such large holdings. The fewer farm units there are, the easier it is to control production and prices. The consumer may not have to deal with marketing boards but the result will be the same with a relatively small number of farm- ing companies performing the same kind of manipulation of the marketplace that large companies in every other field do today, and making sure that the price is high enough to give a good return on investment, just as if they had invested in retail food stores, hamburger franchises or any Securityfor everybody but the farmer other business. The alternative is to give a wide, enough profit margin that all reasonably efficient producers can make a living. That way the young farmer can slowly work his way into the business. It is our only hope. Consumers and university professors may not like the idea of a guaranteed cost of production system as several farm organizations are pushing for, but it is the only present' answer. Mr. Leishman and Mr. Lyons say that flits guarantee does not lead to the highest efficiency. Listen to Lieshman on the possibility of low prices forcing farmers out of business: "This means that if the price for a product in relation to costs of production remains low for several years, some farmers are going to be bankrupted or compelled to produce a different commodity. This risk, in the opinion of economists like Prof, Lyons, must be run if the high productivity and international competitiveness of Canadian agriculture is to be maintained." Fine sounding words coming from a university professor protected by tenure and spoken by a journalist protected by company pension plan and many other forms of security blankets, Farmers, in short, are supposed to be the only segment of society without some form of security. Controlled production marketing boards, the article goes on to'say' are costing the consumer "tens of dollars per family per year." If then farmers are to be left holding the bag in the name of keeping food costs low, why not go all the way. Let us, for instance, ban unions in companies packing meat or processing foodstuffs or in supermarkets. Would not the price of food for instance, be far lower if grocery store clerks earned the minimum wage rather than the $16,000 and upward that their union contracts bring them? At a time of employee surplus, shouldn't the open market forces prevail and whoever will work for the lowest amount get the job. (That might go for newspaper reporters and university profes- sors too). What is the minimum wage if not the same kind of floor price many farm stabilization plans give. Surely even people with such comfortable, ivory tower profes- sions can see the unfairness of what they advocate. Letters to the editor OPEN LETTER TO COUNCIL 1 wish to bring to your attention my reasons for objecting to the period sewage system, in its present form. The obviouse objection which a lot of people including myself, raise; is the phenomenal cost. I am not so much concerned with the cost of the system as 1 am with the absence of any search for a viable alternative, The proposed system is not really going to prove the problem, it is merely relocating it. As I understand it, the land on which our village sits, and the surrounding land, cannot absorb or dissipate the residual efficent from our septic tanks. Therefore, it is not better to restrict the amounts of water going into the land rather than trying to control it once it is there? There are many ways of forllowing this theory which do not cost 3.8 million dollars, but, no the best of my knowledge, neither the council on the Department of Environment have looked into them, It would appear that it is very easy to spend money; is it so hard to think if other less expensive and conveni- ent ways of doing solving the problem? I urge the good council members to consider very careful- ly not only presently accepted methods of sewage disposal, but also that which is in the not too distant future. I honestly believe that the proposed system will be out of date within five Years time. It is a short term investment without any long term gain. In the very near future, our waste, both refuse and sewerage, is going to become an asset rather than a liability, as it is now. The following is a reading list which, if you are interested, will provide you with a better understanding of that which I have mentioned. Energy Primer (pubiisher•Portol- ar Institute) Small is Beautiful (Dr. E.F. Schumacher, CBE) Excreta Disposal for rural areas or small communities (E,A.Wag• ner and J.N. Lanoisc, W.H.O.) In conclusion, 1 realize that concern for the environment is not the only reason for the proposed system. There seems to be a lot of uncertainty both for and against, and perhaps a referendum is in order. I myself, would prefer to see the right decision made by the council after an open debate, but with community participation at an all time low and the pioneering sport al pioneering spir- it almost gone, this will not come to pass.

STANLEY C. McDONALD, LONDESBOROUGH There is a verse, Psalm 84:6, which describes many a person whom we have known, "As they go through the valley of Weeping they make it a place of Springs," Not contented with the world they inherited, they made it a world of beauty, of their own. We have all knowh many who entered a lovely situation and made of it a veritable hell on earth, so we realize that what people do with circumstances is as much a fact as what circumstances do with people. Indeed, we can be sure that whenever we see a lovely soul we see someone who has become lovely not because of but in spite of his outer world. Not external conditions but inner reaction determines the outcome, It is literally true that outer circumstances have made little difference for those whose inner world was right. A village prison in England of the seventeenth century was of all places a dreary world. 1 imagine it was exceedingly distasteful to John Bunyan, who was a sensitive soul, But inside his heart he made his own world, which we see described in PILGRIMS PROGRESS. Beford's prison, however, was perhaps a palace compared with the Roman prisons of the first century. It was in such a prison that Paul may have written his great Epistle to the Philippians. Hear him: ' "I rejoice in the Lord greatly...I know both how to be abased, and know how to abound.,.I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," 1 know a man - and every one of you can match him with another - who has lived a difficult life struggling with many withering problems. Circumstances were pretty well set, and nothing he could do budged them. But what a world he has made inside his heart and so in the little circle around him! Everyone loves him and likes to be near him. The emotional climate changes when he enters a room as the fog lifts when the sun breaks through. His inner world, which he has made and mastered, breaks out to bless those in the outer world. It is God who gives another dimension to life. It is faith in God that opens a man's eyes to values which outer circumstances can neither give nor take away. It is faith in God that feed the inner resources by which a man builds his inner world.

From the candle and lamp to the bright accessible lighting by hydro and nuclear power -from the ploughing with oxen to the strong, forceful power of the huge tractor and other machinery - from the spinning of yarn for home -woven blankets to the huge textile mills and factories -from the wood consuming range to the electric facility operated by the turn of a switch, all these things have transpired during her life- time and so many more could be recalled which have greatly changed . our pattern of life and livings and for which we should be extremely grateful. Mrs. Taylor will be remember- ed by many for her devoted and generous contributions to family and community life. Guests at the birthday celebra- tion held in her honour were Mr. and Mrs. Clare Van Camp, Mrs, Ken Davidson, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Van Camp, Mr. and Mrs. Glen Van Camp, Mr. and Mrs, Bert Harris, Mr, and Mrs. David A.

I married a Catholic man ten years ago and we have five children. My husband's philandering and alcoholism were more than I could stand so we separated. Last May he met a woman he big wants to marry. This is a decision for me because I believe 1 will be automatically excom- municated from the church. My husband claims I am mistaken. Our parish priest is ill and I'm not comfortable with his assistance. Will you please check with Father Ted Hesburgh and get the facts? Thank you very much. --Unsure In New Orleans. DEAR UNSURE: 1 didn't have to check with Father Ted on this one, 1 know the answer. A Catholic who obtains a divorce is not excommunicated. Remarriage, however, is a differ- ent matter. That's the way it stands NOW, but it may. be changed. At a recent Roman Catholic conference in Detroit, approxi- mately 1400 delegates voted to repeal the penalty of automatic excommunication for American Catholics who marry after di- vorce. This vote is subject to endorsement by the nation's 330 bishops, who will meet next May in Chicago. IF they vote yes, it will then be up to the Pope to decide. DEAR ANN LANDERS: When you printed that great column about your brother-in-law David Brodkey, who died from lung. cancer, I asked my mom if she had seen it. Her answer was, "Yes, 1 always read Ann." I then said, "Well, was that enough to get you to quit smoking?" Her answer was, "No, dear, but thank you for caring." Well, Mom, 1 care plenty. You are the most important person in my life. I'm going to miss you terribly when those damn cigarets take your life, 1 care that your grand- children will never get to know you and enjoy all your wonderful Divorce stand of Catholic church changing stories of the past. 1 care that in a few years from now, when 1 am a married woman and my phone rings in the morning, it will be one of my bridge pals, or my husband, but it won't be my most beloved friend of all -• you. I'm not signing my name but you will recognize me as •-Your Loving Daughter. .DEAR DAUGHTER: Powerful letter, young lady. 1 hope it connects.

At the time I agreed to (1) continue to work because he was , an ensign who had to shell out alimony, (2) pay half of the household expenses.

Letter to the editor TO THE EDITOR: In 1970 my nieces and nephews, along with several of my sisters, were found to have a disease called Alport's Syn- drome, a form of hereditary mephritis, and the doctors said it would be helpful to learn the origin as far as possible. 1 have sent a copy of a letter 1 received from Dr, H.J. McClury of Fitzsimmons Army Hospital of Denver, Colorado. I only had one copy and sent it to J.H. Arthen of the Huron News Record. It has taken me years now to come to the point of knowing I could write to newspapers such as yours for this sort of help. Please print the following paragraphs anyway you wish. In 1970, 1 began an exhaustive search for ancestry on my father's side since he died of hereditary nephritis in 1958, and it has affected several of my sisters as well as their children. His father, George Henry Lawson, was born in 1863 in Kinburn, Hullet Twp, Huron County, Ontario, the son of John Lawson, and Margaret Patterson, In 1864, they wenn to Hancock Co, 111. where Margaret had a sister Isabelle, the wife of George Pease, John and Margar- et later moved to Clay Co, Kasas where they were soon joined by her brother James Patterson and wife Isabelle Watt of Morris Twp, Huron Co, Ontario. Margaret was a daughter of John Patterson and Margaret Bryce and her father died in Wingham in 1885. As far as can be determined, her sister Agnes, wife of Charles Granger and her sister Grace, wife of Edvard Cash stayed in Huron Co. Also, her • brothers William and Michael pirle'ewee 'B's lose in last minute. - On Friday night, the Blyth Pec Wee "B" team met with Belgrave on home ice.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/JANUARY 26, 1977, BY BILL SMILEY 1 was glad to hear, in his end -of -year news conference, that Prime Minister Trudeau had no plans for keeping Quebec within the Dominion of Canada by force, should separation of that province be approved by its people in a referendum. I'm sure many another old sweat of my vintage who is still on the reserve list also breathed a sigh of relief. One of the many things we old vets don't need is a civil war. One war in one lifetime is enough for any man, Most of us would have trouble completing the deshabille of a stripper in a burlesque show, let alone stripping a machine gun. And I think we might have a little trouble completing a route march from, say, Kingston to Cornwall, to repell an invasion strike from La Belle Province. Personally, I am puffing like a grampus after scraping a bit of ice off my windshield. 1 have to lie down for five minutes after carrying out the garbage. Can any of you guys of my vintage imagine being sent out on a night patrol. probably on skis, to take a few prisoners? What we'd probably have to do is dump the skis, hail a cab, head for a bilingual bar across the border, and bring back a couple of go-go girls. Might be fun at that, if they'd let use some common sense, which of course, the military will never allow. If the feds re-enlisted a brigade or two of old kriegies (prisoners - of -war) they'd have their hands full. First of all, the kriegies would steal, just out of habit, everything that was not nailed or bolted down. Secondly, kriegies are trained to escape and head west, Stick two brigades of them on the Quebec border and in a couple of weeks, after stealing a train or two, they'd wind up in Alberta. Ancient naval persons might be better off in a civil war. They don't have to walk to work, They could charge up and down the 'Ottawa River, firing broadsides of bilingual propaganda into the streets of Hull. Ex -airmen wouldn't be of!much use. Most of them are so portly they wouldn't be able to get through the escape hatch if their aircraft were hit. Perhaps they could be reorganized as a special low-flying force, equipped with Horticultural society names executive The annual meeting of the Blyth horticultural society saw the re-election of Mrs. Viola Haines of Blyth at president of the organization last Wednesday. Joining Mrs. Haines on the executive are vice-president Mrs. Gail King; second vice-president Mrs. Shirley Shobbrook; Secret- ary, Mrs. Marianne Howson; Treasurer, Mrs. Ella Richmond and Publicity director, Mrs, Wilma Radford. Appointed as directors for one-year terms are Mrs. Marion Wright, Mrs. Dan Mcjnnes; Miss Melda McElroy, Mrs. Alvin Snell and Mrs. 'Harvey McDowell. Appointed two year directors were Mrs. Mary Howson; Harold Cook, Harvey McCallum and John Elliott. Mrs. Bernard Hall installed the officers. Mrs. Ella Richmond was thanked for her help in the past as secretary -treasurer and thanks was extended to the Leo club for all their efforts. Entertainment including readings by Mrs. Dan McInnes and singing by Mrs. Adeline Campbell was provided. What a war it would be if snowmobiles, and sent out to harass the enemy by driving all over his farmers' fields on the snow, thus ruining his, crops for the next season, Former paratroopers wouldn't be of much use, either, Most of them have grown so heavy that they'd plummet like bricks, and the screams of arthritic agony when they hit the ground would destroy.any element of surprise, Thinking it over, we must conclude that a civil war in Canada, using nothing but reservists, would certainly be comical, but not too dangerous. Most of the casualties would be in the Legion halls, each night after the "fighting" was over. And speaking of the Legion halls, a civil war would certainly add a little spice to the rather dreary dialogue that is the norm. Instead of monotonous mutter- ings about the last bingo game or the next shuffleboard tourna- ment, you'd hear stuff Tike this; "Ja hear what Quebec Cora said on the TV tonight?" "Ya. She said the frogs captured a whole battalion of the Canadian Army today an there wuzzen a man in it below the rank of sergeant. Eighty-five colonels, 150 majors an so on." "Right. And 50 per cent of the officers was French-Canadian," "It figures, But she's a good lookin broad, right?" If it does come to civil war, you can include me out, And that goes for all my old friends, including a few Germans who fought on the other side in WW 11 and are now happy Canadians, But that doesn't mean we wouldn't make our contribution, our sacrifices, if needs must. My contribution would be to over-all strategy, which has always been my strong point. You should see me plotting to get someone else to mow my lawn, put on my storm windows, shovel my walk, Hereby some questions. First, if the feds want a short, swift victory, Muster every aircraft in the country,,load them with every scrap of paper in Ottawa, man them with civil servants under the command of Otto Lang, and bomb, Not only the separatists, but the entire province of Quebec, would be obliterated for a generation. An alternative to this would be to build a fence right around the province, constructed of all the red tape in Ottawa. It would take the Quebecois 10 years to cut their way out, and they'd have forgotten referendums and such. If these methods of an easy solution are not dramatic enough for you, here's my final offer. Muster all the politicians, lawyers and Women's Libbers in the rest of Canada.
