THE HURON EXPOSITOR, OCTOBER 27. 1982 — A3 To all the losers ©:i_hOCh© �b boy b�f ZmCJtrrl 'WGll ftp@ If you're like me, you get a little sick of success stories. What they do is make the rest of us feel inferior, and/or dissatisfied with our lots in life. "Why not me?" we say when we read about a Grade 8 classmate who's now presi- dent of Xerox Canada of a child prodigy who's playing with the Toronto Symphony at age 12. Yes, folks there's more to life than success and win- ning. This column is dedicated to all those valiant souls who are now putting their hearts into running for election and will lose. Recently 1 got interested in a red, white and blue book on the shelves of the local library, It's called Rejection; it's written by John White and it gives hope and solace to those of us'whose lives are not unblemished success stories. The book is silly in places but it's inspiring too. As White says (and it's something we all could re member) rejection "can be and usually is a momentary and valuable, setback. a time of learning, sharpening, strengthening." Dr, Seuss, the children's writer who's probably made millions, survived rejection by two dozen publishers. Peyton Place was turned down by 14. Vincent Van Gogh sold only one painting in his lifetime. Whistler's It's Indian summer at last Remembering BY W.G. STRONG Autumn is a restful time, silent and lazy. Its days of Indian summer are Hazy and misty. The trees have donned their richest garments of gold and scarlet but. here and there, some have resisted her beckoning call and are still emerald green. stubbornly trying to remind us that summer was only yesterday. Over everything is a heavenly golden glow. Even on a cloudy day. as one walks along a country road with the Trees forming a burnished golden arch overhead, it seems as if the sun were smiling down upon us. Perth trustee I'he Perth County Board of Education reduced the incoming hoard's honorarium to keep it in line with the province's five per cent guideline. but didn't reduce it as much as some trustees wanted. At its Oct. 19 meeting. the hoard reduced trustees monthly honorarium for 1983 from 5424 to $420. for 1984 from 5445,20 to 5441 and for 1985 from 546'.46 to 463.05, "When the motion was originally made. it w as based on the federal restraint policy," clarified Trustee Earl Bowman. 'trustee Don Crowley requested a further amendment which would leave trustees' honorariums at the present rate of S400 per All summer the sumacs along the lane stood like proud sentinels with reddish - purple plumes in their caps. Now they are crimson and make the hills along the way look as if they were on fire. The graceful goldenrod nods gently in the soft breath of fall greeting me as I pass by. Chimneys arc sending up lazy smoke signals. scenting the air with a sweet woodsy aroma that fills me with quiet nostalgia. Some of the leaves have fallen and cover our path. i shuffle along purposely as I did as a child so that i can hear the chattering of the crisp parchment - like leaves crackling beneath my feel. Mists and vapours are rising in the low spots giving everything a look of fairyland enchantment.

Hullett and McKillop seats on the Huron ,board of education spoke next. Graeme Craig of McKillop said Bill 82 was of special concern in his household, because he and his wife have an autistic child who can lice at home and go to a special needs class in the count' schools. The need for restraint means hard work by trustees to allow both grow th and fiscall responsibility. he .pointed out. Hugh Flynn of Hullett cited his 15 years experience on that township's council. and said after 27 years of farming on his own he now has time to be a trustee. "I've always liked meetings," he added and said he was running because there are now two arca seats, not because he thought the present member wasn't doing a good job. Because he now. has a child in the school system, Bill Henderson of Seaforth said he's interested in education. Concern for ever• increasing costs and a need to maintain "a quality of education we can be proud of" are two goals he said he'd work towards. "This area has the strongest (school hoard) candidates of any in the county. commented incumbent trustee, John Jewitt. Although he stressed a new board member has to (earn before sticking his neck out and losing credibility. Mr. ,Jewitt said he's spoken out on "issues I felt strongly about." Those included adding staff to the administration. the need for restraint now and the amount of business conducted in closed session, After 13 years nn Hullett council. four as reeve, Mr. .Jewitt said he's familiar with how to present things so that peoples' concerns receive onsolcratton seatortn ane 1 uckcrsmith's trustee on the Huron Perth Separate School Board, retiring town councillor Gerald Groothuis, said he V, as disappointed more people didn't run.

Others acclaimed to office include deputy reeve Bill Bennett who reported on terrific input from senior citizens to a recreation committee survey of their needs and said street and sidewalk programs have been set up to 1985. providing funding is available. The deputy reeve attended 56 meetings this year and he explained "council decides what you attend. Those who go to a lot of meetings have been selected by council to do Scaforth needs more industry. Mr. Bennett said, and is second to none 'in recreation facilities. "When you're behind the eight hall and' need something done, there's no one like Scaforth to do it."

Revenue is down 51000 from last year, so even electricity users are belt tightening, he added. PUC chairman JimSilts, also acclaimed outlined improvements including a water system thats adequate for any new industry: a loop system; new hydrants; service to .the new arena; streetlighting: repairs to lines and reconstruction together with council's road improvement. Although there's a recession, he said the town was fortunate to have four new homes built this year, probably more than in Goderich. like sailboats, then swirling and twirling, spun by the soft fresh breeze. The frowning cloudstttat have been hanging overhead, suddenly break open and disappear as the smiling October sun sends down its Midas !nisch and everything blaze's with shimmer- ing fields of sparkling gold. Along the path among the shrubs the spiders have woven their own intricate designs with fragile -looking webs that weave in and out of the branches or soar aloft like strings on tiny fair kites. in the fork of a small tree they have placed an almost invisibilc round platter, its design circling and circling, interlaced with silvery webs from edge to centre. Everywhere the webs have caught and held some raindrops which catch the rays of the setting sun to ![take then[ glitter like diamonds on a silken thread. As I near home 1 can smell the burning leaves like incense filling the countryside. Dusk falls quickly in October and the stars are starting to lw inkle in a sky not yet dark. At this time of the year, the stars seem closer as if one could reach up and pick oneself a bouquet of star -flowers. The night becomes quite crisp and 1 pulled my sweater a little closer and realize that by morning the pond will be almost certainly covered with a delicate shell of crystaline ice. One could tap it gently with a foot and hear the tinkling sound like the breaking of a fragile glass goblet. My day has been peaceful and reward- ing. I have walked with my Maker. 1 have gathered some treasures to store in my memory. They are like souvenirs that 1 shall keep and cherish forever. "This is a day for dreaming. For leaving cares behind, For walking lovely country lanes All bright and autumn lined: A day for life unhurried. In sunny meadows fair, A field of golden beauty With wanders everywhere."

CRUEL A little perspective, can help us survive the cruellest of rejections, For instance, did you know that Thomas A: Edison's teachers said the boy "would never make a success of anything?" Ein- stein's parents feared he was retarded. Late Egyptian Pre- mier Nasser passed only four grades -between the ages of six and 16. Six' months before the Wright Brothers' first flight, an eminent astronomer said "Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical and insignificant, if not utterly impossible." ' ' Moving pictures inventory Auguste Lumiere told a young admirer "you can .be. grateful that my invention is not for sale, for it would undoubtedly ruin you. 1t can be exploited for a certain time as a scientific curiousity, but apart from that it has no commercial value whatso- ever." And in the same vein, silent movie pioneer D.W. Griffith predicted "it will never be possible to synchro- nize the voice with the' pic- tures,,,There will never be speaking pictures." About television, in 1939, the New York Times said "people must sit and keep their eyes glued to a screen; the average American family hasn't time for it...for this reason. if no other. television will never be a serious com- petitor of broadcasting." Believe it or not a medical revblution (albeit one slow in' coming) was launched L,y Hungarian physician. Sem- melweis, who discovered . child -bed fever could be cut dramatically if doctors wash- ed their hands after treating each patient. His findings were laughed at by Vienese doctors, proud of their "hos- pital odour", but eventually hand washing caught on. ' JAWS? PHOOEY Some rejections have a way of evening out. Twentieth Century Fox turned down the movie Jaws with the com- ment that it might be an acceptable made for TV shorty. Universal took it on. and made a mint. But the next year. Universal rejected Star Wars and Fox produced it. "We don't like their sound. Groups of guitars are on the way out," said Delta Records in 1962 when they turned down the Beatles The book says probably the shortest na,sty review in his- tory went to a play called A Good Time. The reviety'read The message is don't feel guilty and unworthy at your lack of success. And leave those how -to -succeed books. to the keeners. You learn more from rejection. And besides, you have all this wonderful company. Taxes, p (!j y .questioned Continued from page 1 He said. he urged the board to start implementing a 6 and 5 per cent restraint program now, but recent settlements with non-un(onized employees had ranged from 10 to 6 per cent, The amount of business the board conducts in closed session, i.e. wage discussions, he said creates the false impression that there's no concern with wage increases "far above the taxpayer's ability to pay. Since the board also has responsibility for curriculum. Mr. Jewitt said some cutting may have to be done in the "wide base of subjects we offer" in order to save money. I-fe'favours a move back to basics in education, he added. CHARGES Other questions came from Jim Kelly on the burned -out restaurant building down- town...the town is proceeding with charges against the owners in court, mayor Sinnamon told him and a query about progress on the arena from Hugh Flynn of Hullett who is running for school board....the ice floor is being poured Tuesday and ice will be in Dec. 15, councillor Alf Ross said, Because of the economy, no start has been made .in installing services to the West Branch subdivision. clerk Jim Crocker reported on a question from Mr. Mero. The clerk explained there's no time limit on when the developers (Mr. Mena claimed the town "practically gave" the land to the developer) must start installation. but once they start there are strict limits on when the first and second phases must be completed. Although we may not agree with all of the . candidates in an age of cynicism; it's encouraging that there are elections for so many town offices, the chairman, Mr. McLean summed up. "We should give them thanks for ruhning." OMB gives tentative ok fhe Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) has given tentative approval w zone changes in a town bylaw. subject. to the. signing of a developer's agreement between thc develop- er of a second apartment unit. located between George Street and Goderich Street. and a local resident. The approval came after the developer'yt.nd Seaforth resident, William McLaughlin, reached a settlement with regards to a privacy' fence to shelter adjacent properties from the new unit. The approval w ill give the town the right to zone the property residential from its present classification of commercial and pas e the ss as for the building of the second unit. Roman Dzus. a County of Huron planner., told the hearing that the proposed zone change and new unit is,satisfactory as far as the town's official plan adopted by council and presently before the Ministry of Consumer Affairs for approtal is concerned.
