It's Chamber of Commerce Week
"Chamber of 'Commerce Week" will
be observed April 21-27. The theme is
"Economic Progress Through Com-
munity Action". Here is a, project
which everybody in the community can
get behind and support to the fullest
measure. It's the ldnd of project which
can bring home to all the community
the value of the work being done on,
their behalf and in their interests by
their Chamber of Commerce.
.good to be reminded once in a
while of what others think of the C of
C. One of our political leaders has paid
tribute to the work of the organization.
Chambers of Commerce are closely Id-
entified with the interests of all citi-
zens because, through the united and
voluntary efforts of business: and com-
, munity leaders, they help to build ,bet-
ter conununities and create conditions
In
favourable to our growth and prosper-
ity.
Another prominent leader has said:
"Chambers of Commerce serve a very
important purpose in the communities
in Canada where they exist. Through
them, business and industry have co-
operated for the general benefit. They
have helped to attract new industry
and to give guidance in both local and
national development".
During the week of April 21st, the C
of C will have an opportunity to display
its wares . . . to show how teamwork
ays off in building a better community.
"Chamber of Commerce Week" can
help ffs to strengthen and enlarge our
membership, and also arouse a greater
and more active interest in, and sup-
port of Chamber activities on the part
of business and professional men and
women.

TO THE EDITOR
Another Prediction
Sir:
Further to my predictions of
-April 2,1968,
First 1 wish to thank all
those who phoned, wrote, stop -
Ped me on the street or other-
wise conveyed the message that
my message made sense. I am
Mao very grateful to your pap-
er for carrying my message and
if you consider space for this
, 9ne, I proraise this will be the
end of it.
There is no question, but the
paid political polsters made
some of my predictions look
sort of sick, but not half as
sIck as half the hand-picked
Liberals, who got brainwashed
In the process, will be when the
air Clears again.
When I made my predictions
there were at least 15 contest-
ants for the leadership and ev-
'ettone Vowed they were serious
and would go as far as they
could. My No. 1 prediction was
that the winner on the first bal-
lot wottld not be the new
been actively associated
with the party for over 40 years
I naturally felt that atleast as a
loyal gesture, a man of .Paul
Martin'sstature, having served
the country in ninny field and
always With top performance,
deserved and would get, the
highest vote on the first
014 Every delegate , Imew
angle YMCA, committees were
formed for the purpose of se-
curing subscriptions to the.,
amount of $2,000 from the
town of Seaforth and $1,000
from the Township of `McKillop.
J. E. Willis is having the pop-
ular Strand Theatre remodel-
led this week.
Harry Charters has leased the
Kennedy residence on Victoria
St. at present occupied by J.
Cummings.
About 40 pupils of the Col-
legiate Institute have enrolled
for farM work this season.
A meeting of the Egmond-
vine Cemetery Improvement
committee was held when the
vouchers and accounts were ex-
amined by John McCaa and Ed.
Hinchley. John Sproat was ap
pointed secretary -treasurer in
place of G. W. Holman. James
McKay occupied the chair. A
bee will be, held in the near
future when all interested are
invited to co-operate with the
committee.
very well that there would' be
several ballots before the win-
ner was declared.
As for Joey Smallwood,
loves the spotlight and he was
given generous time to pay tri-
bute to our retiring Prime Min-
ister' and I- believe we all
thought he did a reasonabfy
good , job of it, but I find it
hard to believe he really meant
'Oat he said after we heard
'from him that he was getting on
the bandwagon because it will
attract one million young peo-
ple tio the Liberal party. ,
Just one more remark before
I close and I will sit back and
bother you,no more. We were
told in the good book. written
hundreds of years ago that we
would always be faced with
false gods and false prophets
even to fool the elect and the
story goes when the greatest
propagandist in the world was
asked what he attribeted to his
success, replied "Always have a
grain of truth in everything you
saY", and when asked if that
was a grain of corn or a grain
of sand, he said, "sand and
dainn fine."
My final predictions, and Hi
for real. As of April 6, I have
retired from active participa
tion in politics

The first animal to leave
Huron for the World's Fair, was
a cow shipped from Londesboro
and owned by W. Grainger of
Hullett.
Cyrus Kolosky of the Bron-
son Line, Zurich, has two lambs
on- his farm, seven days • old,
weighing 173/4 and 19 pounds
respectively.
There was quite a rush in
the bicycle business during the
, past week; one dealer in town
having disposed of five wheels,
all high priced ones too.
Mr. L Reinke has disposed of
his comfortable residence near
the old market square to Mr.
John Crich. The price was
$1,000.
The work of excavating the
foundation for the new town
building has commenced. A
gang of men and four teams
are busily employed.
Mr. Peter Robinson of Chisel-
hurst had a valuable building
blown over by the storm. Mr.
John Brintnell had the misfor-
tune also to lose one of his
cows by lightning on the same
night.
The great wind storm deroof-
ed a barn on the farm of Geo.
Watt near Harlock; it also took
the roof of -a barn owned by
Mr, Sanderson; Mr. Wm. Oke
had a shed which shared a like
fate.
Thursday's storm played some
bad pranks in Egmondville. A
barn belonging to Mr. Bachlor
was scattered in fragments ov-
er the field; one each of 'the
gable windows of the Egmond-
ville Church was blown in, but
not a pane was broken; a chim-
ney in Mr. TV.Iodeland's fine res-
ideOee went crashing into the
roof.

Sugar and Spice
— By Bill Smiley —
OH, TO FLY ONCE MORE
We used to have a supersti-
tion in_my air force days about
things happening in three's.
Everything liTould go along well
for a week or two, then the roof
would fall in. We'd lose three
pilots in one day. .
Or one pilot would have
three extremely.hairy experi-
ences in a row: a bail-out, a
crash-landing, a fire.
It happened often enough so
that you began to believe in
it.
In war-tirne superstitions tend
to become 'principles. It hap
pened to me. One day I was hit
by everything but the kitchen
sink and came home with 32
holes in my aircraft, including
one about 18 inches in diame-
ter, and just two feet from my
seat. I.. had " to land without
flaps and brakes. Nothing much
left except a chewed -up piece of
metal, almost useless, and a
white-faced pilot, almost equal-
ly useless. -
Next day, one of My bombs
developed a hang-up and I had
to land with the thing, detonat-
ed and ready to blow, dangling
under my left wing. This didn't
improve
ther.
People started .avoiding me.
The third day I was shot down
and taken prisoner. Met Paddy
Bryne of Dublin, one of the
few survivors of my squadron;
in a London subway station
-after the war, and he told me
the boys were running a pool
on when I'd get it.
But that was in the old days,
when men were men, and boys
were terrified. At least 1 was.
However the war was peaceful
compared to present days. Now
things don't come in three's,
but in sixes and sevens.
Same pattern. Things go
along OK /or a while and then
the ' gods clobber you with ev-
erything they have.
The other night. for example,
Kim and I were preparing for
one of our exotic dinners. It
was a peaceful domestic scene.
,She was playing the piano. I
was right on top -Of the dinner.
The rainbow trout were crisp-
ing nicely, the baked potatoes
were baked, and I was just giv-
ing the canned corn that extra
my morale much, ei-
little stir that makes it so..de-
licious, when the doorbell rang.
It was our neighbor. The one
on the left, where the bank rob -
bets were caught last year. It
was about 30 degrees Outside,
and his internal temperature
was around 212. He wanted to
use the phOne. He was about to
kill the man on the other side
of his house because he was
needling him. He phoned his
Mom asking her to come and
stop him.
It's rather difficult to avoid
hearing this sort of thing when
you are five feet away, poking
the potatoes and flipping the
fish. Anyway, two hours ,and a
couple of beers later, I hadn't
had my dinner, but my neigh-
bor had and he was cooled out
enough to go hOme to bed.
Well, that's the way things
went all week. Next morning I
almost murdered myself, put-
ting out the garbage. The cans
are in a little stoop, with a lid
over it made of two by -fours. I
pushed back the lid and start-
ed to wrestle out one can, which
was frozen to the bottom, when
the damn lid fell, clunked me
on the forehead almost knock-
ing me senseless. Dripping
blood, I staggered off to work.
That weekend I was caught
in one of those last -kick -of -win-
ter storms and died a thousand
deaths, creeping through wind
and snow and drifts, a four -and -
a -half-hour trip that normally,
takes two hours.
Had a fight withmy daugh-
ter, which she won. My wife is
having an operation. My piles
are screaming. The back -yard,
because we didn't get the leaves
raked last fall, looks like Hiro-
shima. Ten people want me to
have a committee meeting about
nothing. We had a cloud -burst
and my cellar's full of water.
Half the light bulbs, in the house
are burnt out and you need a
ladder to replace most of them.
I -nearly cut my entire upper
lip off when I slipped on soap
while shaving. And I haven't
paid or even thought about my
income tax.
'I wonder whether they take
old guys back into the air force;
where things only happen in
three's.
