Warm weather made it ideal for the number of youngsters who took advantage of the close pool facilities. citizens were invited to make any com- ments concerning the plans for dressing rooms, ticket office and alterations in the hall. The only major problem that property owners around the hall were concerned with was the amount of access left behind the hall after the addition. Earl Fyfe indicated that if the new addition extended beyond the present end of the hall he would not be able to get into his garage across the alley from the hall. Architect Chris Borgel thought it pos- sible to move the addition two feet east and keep it even with the present heating system mounted on the back of the building. No parking signs were suggested (Continued on Page 5) Donnelly in Blyth "The Donnellys are here!" Although that statement might have struck fear into the hearts of the residents of Lucan, Ontario one hundred years ago, it has a different meaning in Blyth, today.

The Donnellys family has given grist to the mill of many writers and playwrights over the past few years, and small wonder, for their Pee Wee ball champs New play rehearses exploits and misadventures contain some of the most dramatic and controversial incidents in Canadian history. Theatre Passe Muraille's version of the legend poses a dilemma—were the Donnellys really true villains who terrorized the countryside or were they scapegoats for every mishap in Biddulph township?

This was the first softball tourna- ment ever to be held in Blyth, and everyone connect- ed with the tournament was pleased with its success. ; Teams which participated in the two day round robin tournament were Blyth, Wal- ton, Formosa, Mildmay, St, Pauls and Meaford. After the two days of action Formosa remained undefeated and took home the grand championship while St. Pauls was declared the consolation winner for finishing second. After suffering two losses in their first two games, Blyth roared back to pick up three successive wins and capture third place. With the exception of one game, all of the action was close and exciting, and the (Continued on Page 12; Inside this week Plan of hall renovations P. 5 Wingham celebrates 100 years of activity P 10 Tourney pictures P 12 Midget girls up a tree P. 13 2 — THE .BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 1, 1979 Plaque marks founding A provincial historical plaque commemorating the founding of Wingham will be unveiled during a special ceremony at the Wingham Museum, Josephine Street, Wingham on Saturday Aug. 4.

BY RHEA HAMILTON Somehow on these lazy summer evenings after work I have a hard time finding the ambition or the energy to do some of the chores around the house to make for more free time on the weekends. When the cold north wind starts to howl around the back door and the battle starts between household members about who lets the dogs out last thing at night, I will wonder what on earth I did during those long eve- nings in the warm sunshine. For some youngsters the summer stretches for an eternity ahead of them and all the activities they plan for the whole summer are all played out by mid July. While I sit here in my wee office tucked away from the warmth of the sun and hot breath of warm breezes a few memories of how I spent my summers come flooding back, One of my favourite hide- outs for my sister and brother and me was a grass fort in the fields. Just when the grass was high enough we found out that it could be easily bent over and tunnels made all over a field. On our knees we would be hunters or underwater explorers. We never seemed to tire of that game but it was always ended before we were ready to finish, My farming father did not care much for his crops being laid to rest by tiny bodies. We had a creek runnino not far from home and we would spend hours peering into its depths, looking for the snapper we knew was there. The schools of min- nows would race through our hands and we would puzzle over just how they could get through our fists. I mean we though ourselves pretty fast. Tobe able to catch a minnow in your hands was something we all admired and the accomplishment put us in greater standing with our friends. The days would slip by and before we knew it Mom was ordering shoes and material for new clothes from the catalogue and we knew the summer would soon be over. Even now with years of summers behind me 1 still find myself grasping at moments to hold onto my favourite season of the year. Jobs that could be done now are carefully put off for another day in order that one more hour outside can be enjoyed, l never lie in the sun like a worshipper but I do read in the shade and walk along the garden's edge admiring both flowers and weeds alike. When the snow drifts are six feet high outside this office window I will be dreamily thinking of the past summers and urging time onto the next. No wonder time flies. I catch myself hurtling forward from week to week or should I say from weekend to weekend. When you read this it will already be August and the summer will have reached middle age. But there are still a few days left and I mean to make the most of them, ****** While Klaus was climbing a ladder recently to fix the barn roof I called out to him to be careful and then laughed. Of course he would be careful. He didn't want to fall off the roof anymore than I wanted him to. This phrase and a few others like it are left over from our childhood. You tell a child to be careful so that he or she will take the time to make sure they are doing the job or chore right to avoid injury. But an adult should know better and doesn't need reminding. It is the same when I go out to a meeting. As I go out the door I hear "Hurry home," Of course I'll hurry home. It is nicer to be at home enjoying the end of day with the partner than taking notes at a meeting. Although the phrase is used less and less in our house, how about yours? Now if I were going to my mother's there might be a reason to say hurry home. But then trips for pleasure and work are two different matters. Three Big Days...

Charlie is a young raccoon that Margaret and Hebe Siertsema have adopted and are trying to help along by bottle. Charlie's mother was killed by a car he and his other two brothers werelfoundin a barn nearby. Attempts with an eyedropper to feed the family failed for two of the young raccooms but Charlie survived and continues under to the care of 'the Siertsemas. (Standard Photo) as BABY FACE Charlie the raccoon residing out at Hebe and Margaret Siertsemas farm, west of Blyth, is living in a cage with the pigeons. He was found with two other raccoons but was the only one to survivie the loss of their mother. Charlie was first fed with an eyedropper and has graduated to a bottle. When this photo was taken he was 5 weeks old. (Standard Photo) — THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 1, 1979 Don't hesitate to help The boat people have been making their way safely and soundly to all points in Canada. We have all been bombarded by the media about what we can do for the boat people. We are all aware of the troubles they face. But all this so far has seemed too far away to make any real impact upon our lives and while many of us feel that we would like to do something, time and lack of knowledge has held us back. That situation is about to be remedied. In both Clinton and Wingham next Sunday and Monday there will be open information meetings for the general public. Any questions you may have about helping the Indochinese refugees will be answered there. Already there are families in our southwestern Ontario towns and villages as well as neighbours and friends who are lending a helping hand to these people to become re-established. Don't hesitate to take advantage of these open meetings. It may happen that you will find that while you cannot sponsor a family yourself there are other ways that you can help. You'll never know unless you try to find out. The making of a man When Johnny was 6, he was with his father when they were caught speeding. He saw his father hand the officer a five dollar bill. There was no ticket. When Johnny was ten, he broke his glasses on the way to school. He heard his mother tell the insurance company that they had been stolen, and she collected $27. When Johnny was 15, he made right guard on the high school football team. His coach taught him to block and, at the same time, hold the opposing guard back by grabbing his shirt. He was cautioned not to let the official see him do it. When he was 16, John took a summer job at a large market. His job was to put the overripe fruit on the bottom and the good fruit on top. When John went to college, he was approached by an upper ciassman who offered him the answers to an English examination for three dollars. "It's OK, kid," he was told, "everybody does it. Johnny was caught and sent home in disgrace, "How could you do this to your mother and me?" his embarrassed father asked. If there is one thing the adult world can't stand, it's a kid who cheats — and gets caught.

Remembering the good old days when things cost less has always been a pleasant preoccupation for nearly everyone, at least as far back as I can remember. Maybe there was a time in centuries past when the old days weren't rememberedfondly but I don't think there's ever been such a time in the 20th century. For me, though, it hasn't been the fact things keep going up in price that bothers me so much as the fact that even paying more, I'm often getting less. I'm presently in the midst of stripping accumulated coats of paint off an old kitchen table we bought from a friend. I don't know how old it is but it's still in fine shape after maybe fifty or 100 years of wear. It's replacing a kitchen set that's only 10 years old. Over the years many of the chairs from the old set have disappeared so we ordered some unpainted chairs. Of the six ordered, two had to be sent back because so little care is taken in curing the wood nowadays that the rungs on the chairs dried out and split during shipping. But at least, the chairs are real wood. Today when you look at a nice carved piece of furniture in a showroom you'd better give it a rap with your fingernails because it just might be plastic. Solid wood is virtually unheard of in furniture today. Wood of any kind sometimes seems scarce in furniture. I get even more uptight, however, about food. No I don't complain much about the price of food because 1 grew up on a farm and live with farmers on all sides of me and I know that very little of the price of the food is taken by the farmers. What I do object to is that we're not getting as good quality in many areas. Here we live in the middle• of one of the richest agricultural areas in the world and yet we're hard pressed to get fresh produce for our tables unless we grow it ourselves. Because of modern manufac- turing and distribution systems, the milk you drink may have come from a cow on a farm just outside town but it may have travelled to Barrie or Toronto for process- ing before it got back to your table. The eggs you buy might have come by a nearby farm but unless you have a special deal with the farmer, they're likely a week or more old by the time they make it to your refrigerator. Some foods are not like wine: they do not improve with age. , Oh 1 know in many cases the food products have improved to some extent because of better storage techniques. A week-old egg may actually be in better shape than a three-day old egg of a half century ago because of refrigeration, better sanitary conditions and new storage techniques but why shouldn't we be benefitting from techniques, not being penalized by getting eggs that are at least a week old? On the other hand there are some things that are really hurried along when we'd be better off if they weren't. Because of the economics of the situation these days farmers have to push produce through their food factories as quickly as possible. The "efficiency" of the modern farm is such that slaughter time often comes now before an animal reaches the equivalent of its teenage years. Chickens have hardly learned to crow before their heads come off. They're force fed under a 24 -hour -a - day light to make them grow faster. Hogs are given high-octane feeds that may give them stomach problems but will get them off to market before they have a chance to suffer too much. Such practices help keep the farmer in business and help keep the cost of food down to the consumer but they sure don't do much for the tastebuds. Nobody wants to eat a tough, fat old pig like they sometimes did years ago or an aged chicken rubbery enough to bounce off walls even after hours of cooking but there is something to be said for a little more aging than most of our meats get in today's agricultural food factories. The less for more realities of inflation hit in so many other places too. You pay more for a car and get one that falls apart faster. You pay more for taxes only to find services have been cut back. You pay more for a gallon of gas but it probably takes you less distance than it would 10 years ago because the car burns more. It happens in liesure activities too. You pay more for books these days but many of the books seem to be getting thinner.

Other concerns included snow removal and sewage disposal. The snow removal has been left up to the town but the problem of sewage disposal has not yet been clarified. At present there is a tank system but with the addition of extra washrooms for the patrons the tank will not be able to take the extra effluent. Blyth is expecting a sewage system for the village but it has been delayed by government for another 2 or 3 years. The only other solution would be a holding tank but both the architects and village are looking into the matter further. James Roy, artistic director, hopes to see the construction under way by mid September. The addition closed in before winter. Architect Chris Borgel is less optimistic but hopes to have the project underway by the second week after the closing of the last theatre production .September 1. There have been some alterations to the original study prepared by Hill and Borgal Architects. The washrooms located at the east end of the hall have been moved from the centre of the east wall to the east corners. At present the washrooms are along the west corner and with their move it will add an extra 6 feet working space to the kitchen area. In the initial sketches the suggested exterior was light steel siding. The finished extension will now be bricked similar to the hall to blend in with the present building. This second stage of renovations for the hall is part of an ambitious project Basement level undertaken jointly by the Blyth Centre for the Arts and Blyth village council. The first stage was completed last year with the installation of a $35,000 airconditioning system. The results of that are evident this year with an increase in ticket sales , throughout the hot weather. The second stage will bring the hall up to building code standards and provide •necessary backstage production space. A fire alarm system has been installed this year and a sprinkler system. With the addition will be included a necessary fire escape route for the balcony allowing for an additional 80 to 90 extra scats when approved by the fire marshall. The new addition will also include a ramp and washroom facilities for patrons in wheelchairs; hobby and craft centre for the community; general office space as well as room for an art gallery during the summer months. At the meeting there were some ques- tions about further expansion. "I personal- ly don't think there will be any future expansion." said James Roy. "Essentially all we will be able to move in is our box office and art gallery, We will still have to rent additional space for rehearsals and stage construction. Plus the fact that there is no further room for expansion around the building." Funding for the project includes grants from the federal Secretary of State which will almost cover the initial cost. The Blyth Centre for the Arts and the village are both waiting to hear from Wintario and Com- munity Centres Recreation Act for addi- tional funding. Funds totalling $22,000 have already been raised privately. ffr�fn►-� A,G, t LAT 461 S 114001 t K• �t Lk�. The initial estimate for the second phase was $60,000 to $63,000.

Director Paul Thompson and Theatre Passe Muraille are well know for the many productions they have toured or produced in this area. Festival veterans Janet Amos, Layne Coleman, Peter Snell, Sam Malkin and Karen Wiens are joined by William Dunlop, David Fox, Bob Collins, John Jarvis, Hardee Linham and Paul Kelman to re-create the events of one hundred years ago. The play opens August 21 and runs until September 1, Tickets are available at the Festival box office (phone 523.9300) or at any ticket outlet. As thecountry supper before the theatre have proved so popular, more suppers have been added on Friday nights. There will be a supper served on August 10 (performance of "McGillicuddy") and on August 17 and 24 (performances of "Donnellys"). A Saturday supper on Sept. 1 has also been added. Numbers are limited, so patrons are advised to make their reservations through the box office promptly. Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston (Continued from Page 4) Down in New York on Broadway people are paying up to $25 for a ticket to get in to see the traditional Broadway musical but because of the costs the musical is seldom the lavish spectacle it once was with dozens of dancers and expensive costumes and full orchestras playing lush music. There is only one area lately when I've seen the trend reversed. On a recent visit to the beach I see that the ladies, unlike a couple of years ago when they were paying more and getting less and less material in their bathing suits are now getting much more for their money.

Public Relations meeting will be held August 8th at 8 p.m. in the hall. Group wants support for local hospital A local citizens' group in Wingham will be attempting to rally support for Wingham and District Hospital in its fight to avoid bed closures. The Citizens' Action Com- mittee, formed earlier this year after the Ontario Minis- try of Health announced budget restraints aimed at closing 14 beds here this year and up to 17 more in the future, is mounting a cam- paign to gather signatures of support for the hospital. It will also be contacting municipal councils for don- ations to a legal defense fund. At a meeting last Friday night Boris Milosevic, chair- man of the hospital board, told the committee the board has retained Toronto lawyer Warren Seyfert to handle its case against the ministry. Mr. Seyfert is a member of the law firm that handled the case for Doctor's Hospital in Toronto when it was threat- ened with closure three years ago. The ministry sub- sequently dropped plans to close that hospital. However he added the board has not yet made the decision to proceed with legal action and in the mean- time is looking for a show of public support in its oppos- ition to the bed closures. The action committee plans to post signature forms bearing declarations of support for the hospital in post offices and stores around the area within the coming week. The Citizens' Action Com- mittee is formed of con - Auburn Mr. and Mrs. W.H.

Help needed for refugees The Canada Employment Centre in Goderich expect that they will soon be assum- int the responsibility of re- ceiving and resettling un - sponsored Smal; Boat Es- capees. Resettlement includes providing financial assis- tance for food, shelter and basic needs of life as well as adjustment to life in Canada, such as employment, schools and community services. Be- cause of the expected num- ber of Vietnamese refugees schedule for Huron County, The Canada Employment Centre is welcoming the active participation of indiv- iduals and groups to facil- itate the successful resettle- ment of these newcomers. The financial responsibility of food, rent, etc., will still rest with the CEC and will be administered by the Immi- grant Resettlement Counsel- lor Eric J. Smith, 524-8342. The supporting role of Volunteer Groups would be the collection of furniture, household effects, clothing, groceries. It would involve setting up accomodation; transportation of people and belongings; registering chil- dren in school, helping to open bank accounts, shop- ping for groceries, obtaining telephone, how to use a stove, do laundry and what to do with garbage. Those in a supporting tole could assist with initial employment in- terviews and medical appoin- tments; help with the proccss of seeking accomodation and signing leases and provide friendship. It is very impor- tant to allow as much indep- endence and self-sufficiency as possible and to encourage the newcomers to deal with some problems on their own. Individuals or organiz- ations who wish to assist these individuals to adjust to life in Canada, please contact Eric J. Smith, Canada, Em- ployment Centre, Goderich, or John Gillespie, Canada Employment Centre, Exeter. Starting today, Wingham, our neighbour to the north will be marking their 100th year. The festivities planned will include the traditional parade on Saturday, pancake breakfast Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning and a midway open every day for the 6 day celebration. With an airport nearby visitors will be able to fly in and over Wingham all weekend. Besides the various homecoming teas and parties there will be dances every night as well as contests of strength, horseshoe pitching and tug of wars. The week of events promises to be a busy one with something for everyone. Wingham's history goes back to the first settler who arrived in 1858. By 1851 settlers had already begun to take up Crown land in the Queen's Bush, townships north of the Canada Company's holdings in the Huron tract. Turnberry Township, the smallest of these, was surveyed by late 1853 and a prospective town plot laid out bythe Govern- ment, This plot, situated on the Wawanosh Road at the confluence of the northern and eastern branches of the Maitland River, was con- sidered to be an ideal location for a future market town and industrial centre for the northern part of the Huron Tract. Edward Farley, an Irish- man who had lived for a time in Owen Sound, is reportedly the first to have settled within the boundaries of the designated town plot. Arriving in 1858, he established his family on the western bank of the Maitland Corn heat unit statistics available BY PAT LYNCH, SOILS & CROPS SPEC., DON PULLEN, AG. REP.

There are so many. Approximately 200 hybrids are being sold in Huron count y These are sold by over 20 companies with an unknown number of dealers, Often a dealer asks you to "just buy one or two units of his corn". If you chose just one unit from each company you would have enough seed to plant over 60 acres. There must be a way to evaluate all these hybrids. The Huron Soil and Crop Improvement directors think so. They are trying to make a summary of farm corn trials conducted in Huron County. If you have a corn trial on your farm, they would appreciate receiving the results. They would like to know now where your trial is located. This allow them to see the plots before they are harvested.

This constituted the beginnings of Lower Wingham, the settlement on the western bank of the Maitland with ,which Wing - ham's early history was closely linked. Wingham proper developed on that section of the Government's designated plot which was on the eastern bank of the Maitland and on the adjacent lots east of the plot. Among the first to settle here were William Sadler, an Irish farmer, and John Cornyn and his three sons, Thomas, William, and John Jr., who had come to Turnberry Township from Perth County. John Cornyn Sr., and Thomas were operating the first hotel in the area in early 1861. Within a year, Edward Foley, another Irish- man, built the first store in Wingham, near to Cornyn's hotel. In 1862, when a post - office named Wingham was established, Edward Foley was appointed post -master. Growing steadily, Wing - ham soon assumed its in- tended position as the industrial, commercial and distributing centre for the surrounding agricultural and lumbering region. In 1863 Thomas and John Gregory built the first sawmill and by 1866 added a flour and gristmill. Up to this time, Wingham had been dependent on Lower Wingham's milling facilities. A commercial district in the vicinity of Cornyn's hotel and Foley's store was flourishing and in 1864 included two other hotels, a few general stores and specialty shops, and several workshops including a tin and copper- smith's, wagonmaker's, and a number of carpenter's shops, boot and shoemaker's, and blacksmith shops. By 1869, a tannery had been added, John Ansley had established his foundry and agricultural implement factory, and the Greogry enterprises had seen the addition of an oatmeal mill. In the 1870's Wingham experienced tremendous growth of populaton and services as a result of railway expansion into the area. The Wellington, Grey, and Bruce Railway line (completed in 1874) ran through Wingham to Kincardine on Lake Huron. Its population having grown to 700, Wingham became an incorporated village in 1874. In 1876, the London, Huron, and Bruce Railway line, for. which Wingham served as terminus, was completed. A year later Wingham applied for incorporation as a town but had its request turned down because of strenuous opposition voiced by Lower Wingham residents hwo desired to be included in the corporation. The village re- submitted its request for incorporation in 1878, again excluding Lower Wingham, which was subject to floods, in favour of higher land northeast of the village. This time its petition was granted and in January 1879, Wingham with a population of 2,000 became an incorporated town. BARLEY We are now ready to handle your 1979 barley crop.

That's how l feel as I read and hear the latest energy crisis news. One of these days, in the not -distant future, the last drop of that black stu ff is going to drip into the last receptacle. How then, brown hen? Will we freeze in the dark? Well, a heck of a lot of red-blooded Canadians will need every bit of that red blood to avoid doing so. It's not as though the hand -writing has not been on the wall, It's just that nobody has been looking at that particular wall. We've all been looking out our picture window, instead. I've been thinking about it during a particularly busy week in which a dentist saved one of my ancient teeth, a doctor gave me an allergy shot, and a barber removed some of my ancient white hair. Needless to say, I drove my ancient car to each of these places. None of them is more than a ten-minute walk. On my way to one of them, 1 drove down to the dock, parked, and watched about three thousand boats trying to wiggle their way out of marinas, so that they could open her up and cut a swatch across the lake with their oilburners. At the doctor's people were complaining because the air-conditioning wasn't work- ing. The dentist used a high-speed drill in his air-conditioned office, with all the fluorescent lights on. The barber was sweating, turned up his air-conditioning, washed his hands it hot water, and switched on his electric clippers. , By George, I thought, it's going to be quite a change. l visualized the dentist pumping away with his old foot -powered drill, The doctor giving me a shot by flashlight, because there are no windows in the joint. The barber using the old hand -powered clippers and shaving my neck with cold water, in a steamy -hot barber shop. It wouldn't bother me 100 much, I was brought up on wood stoves, coal -oil lamps, a block of ice in the refrigerator, and a coal -burning furnace. But it sure would bother the doctor, the dentist and the barber, alone with practic- b y Bill Smiley ally every human being in North America under the age of sixty. It's going to be quite an auction sale, 1 thought, when that last drop of black stuff flows from the last spigot. Listen to the auctionecry, "Lincoln Continental, 1982 model, like new. Tear out the insides and you have a grand out -door rec room for the kiddies. What am I bid ? 1)o 1 hear thirty dollars? "Here's a real steal. A forty -foot cruiser with built-in' cupboards, septic toilet, sleeps six, Get a teamster to tow it into your back yard and you have a dandy sleeping cabin for guests. Will somebody start the bidding with twelve dollars? "And here's another beauty. Three 1980 Thunderbirds, worth $23,000 the day they were bought. Cut the tops off, remove the wheels, and they'll make beautiful flower beds. Not ten dollars apiece, not even nine dollars each, but the three for $24.98. "And here's today's superspecial. She's only thirty-five years old and guaranteed to work day or night, not like those electric things that were always breaking down. An almost automatic dishwasher. Yes, ladies and gcmmun, the real thing. This little lady came on hard times, Her husband had a heating oil franchise. She's willing to wash your dishes like they've never been washed before. Only $300 a week." And so on. Snow mobiles, aircraft. It's going to be a great day for the junk dealers, On the other hand, there's the bright side. Just as people today pay fabulous suns for junk furniture dug out of attics, the good folk of 2010 A. D. might go as high as $200 for an ancient, beautifully -finished Cadillac or a fine specimen of four -burner electric stove with infra -red oven. They'd make nice conversation pieces. Away back there, I failed to continue the analogy to the Roman Empire, But it's there. They had their bread and circuses as the countdown approached, Our arenas, like theirs, are packed solid with sweaty, sadistic spectators watching the gladiators. We don't have enough Christians left to throw to the lions, But we can always fire the coach, which is almost as good. Obituary HOWARD CAMPBELL Howard James Campbell of Blyth died in St. Michael's Hospital Lethbridge, Alberta, on Saturday, July 28, 1979, in his 76th year. Beloved husband of the former Mary Johnston. He was the father of Victor of London, Cecil of London, Franklin of London, Laur- ence of Alberta, Lois (Mrs. Keith Snell) of Swastika, Ontario, Hugh of British Columbia, and Harold of Quebec. Dear brother of Douglas of East Wawanosh Twp. Also survived by 10 grandchildren. The late Mr. Campbell will rest at the Tasker Funeral Home, Blyth, Ontario from 2 p.m, 'Tuesday until Wednesday, when the funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. Interment Blyth Union Cemetery. Memorial donations to the Blyth United Church would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy. Correction There were two errors in the poem "Blyth CPR Station Speaks," featured in last week's Blyth Standard. In the fifth line from the end of the word 'for' was omitted. The line should read - "I've stored for a great big industry". The word 'dead' was omit- ted from the line "When a dead dear one,.." We regret any inconvenience this may have caused, various colours Web chairs picnic baskets, BBQ, coolers, Coleman stoves And we have something Romans didn't. We have an almost -instant view of disas- ters all over the world. So I guess mankind has made one giant step backward in the past 1500 years. It looks as though the hand-in-hand manufacturers, which has lasted nearly half a century, is going to become, "Good Night, Ladies," But the merry Walpurgisnacht of the western world continues its mad whirl as oil companies and airlines and car manu- facturers and boat makers furiously adver- tise their wares. And the rest of us just as wildly rush out to buy them. Of course, I don't mean a word of all this, Somehow, the human spirit, though at one of its lowest points in centuries, will survive and prevail. We'll find something. But in the meantime, I'm going to sharpen my axe and get busy installing a windmill. See you in .the bush lot. �' :{•ice:':•::...':}�'R!:•?!!y:•'t:'•.�C'•.,� T.;11.
