SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, JANUARY 13, 1966 Opportunity for • Second Look After discussing the chaos that arises in an orchestra when each of the play- ers decides on his own, the tune he .,will play, the. Stratford Beacon -Herald concludes that area school boards find themselges in a like situation' as they attempt to Work out practidal school area patterns. "The rural school board in Hibbert Township„ lias been holding dbscussions with the board in Fullarton Township, to see if they can work out a plan for a joint schoolarea," the Beacon -Herald says,- and goes -on : "At the same time, the Hibbert trustees have been consid- ering the idea of negotiating with Lo- gan, Fullarton and Mitchell -to. fornr a' school area with the same boundaries Mitchell High School District. At the same trine, the Hibhe,,rt trustees have to give thought to the best inter- est of children in SS 4 Hibbert and SS 7 Hibbert, which are right against the Huron County boundary, and might possibly be better served. 'by' some joint arrangement between Hibbert 1 -and Tuckersmith, or between Hibbert and- --all the municipalities in Seaforth High School District, or possibly,. with South ..

Mean - :_while, the trustees in Tuckersmith are too'deeply - volved in talks with the neat tniunicipality beyond - that–Stan— ley hat,Stai-- ley Township; to have much- time for discussioniTikith Hibbert. Not yet con- sidered is the possibility `that Hibbert • should be considering:,:some link with Usborne 'Township, to the south ;• but-- , ,that, like discussions with Tuckersmith,- would bring in the need for discus- sions between the consultative comrnit- ees of Perth -County Council and Hur- on County Council."-- 'The ouncil."'The school boards of towngEipS should not be saddled with this work of dickering with each other, any more than the, individual. musicians , in an orchestra should be saddled with ,the work of deciding •who, sTiould play what music. It 'is. -time for' the-' orc1 extra- •conductor to take over his proper- job and- tell the musicians where they fit - in. "The orchestra conductor in this case is the Ontario Department of -Educa- tion, which should be laying out the °�_. = --- boundaries of rural school areas, and telling the local boaiids : `There's your %`� area; there are your boundaries.

Sugar and ° Stoke, -- By • Bill Smiley %tardy Ones yemain This is the time of year when we get rid of all the undesir- ables in the community. By .un- desirables, I mean people with more money than I. They leave our northern community for Florida, Mexico, the West Indies. In one fell swoop we get rid of all the softies, the cowards,• the sybarites. In short, the rich white trash. It'st as much a part of our heritage as the Saturday night bath, or spring cleaning. And I think it's a good thing. When the last barber or bricklayer has bragged about• being off to the Bahamas, when the last druggest or doctor has informed me pompously that "well probably take in Acapul- co"this year," I feel a sense of relief. .The rats have left the Freez- ing ship, and there's only the hard core, the sturdy pioneer types, the rugged individualist and the poor people, left in the temperate (hah!) zone.

THE HOME TEAM • As one of the old true-blue breed, fighting it out with the elements, .I am inclined to scorn them. As a humanitarian, Ican only pity. them. Think of what they're missing! What is there in the soft and sensuous south •to equal that crunch of --toes breaking off, that crack' of bursitis in the shoulder when you throw the first curling stone, that snap of thigh bones on the ski hill? Let's take a look at a couple of these hot;weather hounds. Look at this bird in Florida. Gets out of, bed and there's that same old crutnby, „monotonous sun blazing down, just like ,all the other days, Same old rou- tine. The inevitable orange juice' on the inevitable patio; the inevitable trip to the beach with the inevitable obscenely fat softies lying all around. 'Or the inevitable 'sweating it out on the golf course with' a lot of other middle-aged liars. And here's our pal in Mexico, just getting up at 10:30. He hasn't 'paid' last year's income tax yet, but he borrowed. $1;500 from the bank to make the trip. He has a hangover from those six -ounce, forty -cent Mexican drinks, and a-. twisted, back from trying to tango. His wife, in the other twin' bed, looks like an inmate of Belsen, because she's had Mexi- can complaint, commonly known as dire rear, ever since they crossed the border. She whines, he snarls. They totter out into the - muggy heat. And another horrible day in Acapulco has begun. ' It's not like that around here. My daughter wakes me at six - thirty and I call a cheery good - morning. It may sound a bit more like "RUMPH'' but it's well meant. My life's partner shoves me out with her foot ten minutes later. • • Down to a jolly breakfast: vitamin pills, cuppa • tea- and half -slice toast.- There's the thrill of variety as you prepare for the day. When dawn comes, will the sun be shining, the snow falling, or a blizzard howl- ing? - Out into the wild white yon- der. Grab. the shovel and make the snow fly, chuckling heart- ily all the while as you think of those poor slobs in thecsouth, with nothing__ to do every day but the san'1 .old things. The clean, fresh, northern air hits your lungs like a dum-dum bullet. Bark seal -like greeting to neighbor, whose head is just visible over, his snowbank. Off to the garage. Excitement "of 'wondering whether the car will start. The sheer, demonic joy of belting out the driveway backwards and trying to smash through the bank the -snowplow has thrown -up.. Sometimes you make it. , • The skidding, slithering ad- venture of the• driveto work. Wheels spinning, visibility twelve feet, every man for him- self. - The good fellowship and viva . city 'of the teat ers' cloakroom, everyone stamping, cursing, and running at the nose. And another day of glorious winter living has begun. Don't. try to tell me about the seduc- • tion of the languouous South- land. Just give me the crisp, virile challenge of living where men are men.
