SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, NOVEMBER 30, 1967
Seaforth Electors Go to the Polls
Attendance at area nomination meet-
ings ''as not been such as to suggest
that taxpayers in Seaforth and adjoin-
ing mriun cipalities are concerned to
too great an extent with the way in
which municipal business is carried on.
While it is true there will be elec-
tions in two or three centres there was
little; general interest in the reports
covering activities during the year or
for that matter in who was being nom-
inated. Discussion centred about person-
-al' detail rather than the policies which
councils had adopted.
Seaforth is one of those municipali-.
ties in which voters wi11 have an op-
portunity to cast .ballots. While Mayor
Kling, Deputy Reeve Cuthill and a full
council has been returned, Reeve Carl
Dalton has opposition.
Reeve Dalton iscompleting his third
year as reeve.. During the years he, has
served, he has, carried out his duties in
a conscientious manner and has been
active in the long term planning that
council has advanced, so effectively this
year. He is being opposed by Norman
Scoins who" retired in 1958 after serv-
ing as reeve for six years. In addition
to voting for a reeve Seaforth electors
will expless opinions on three plebisites.
One of these — an- endorsement of a
resolution initiated by the town of Mil-
ton — calls on the Robarts government
- to provide for the total cost of educa-
tion. Concern • that such a step would
lead to the elimination of local respon-
sibility for education perhaps has :been
diluted somewhat by Premier Robarts'
-subsequent announcement that begin-
ning in 1969 education will be admin-
istered on a county basis. '
The second question seeks approval
to reduce the number of councillor's
from six to four, effective in 1969.
While council gave second reading toi
the enabling by-law the short debate
suggested the existance of doubts • as
to the merits of theposal. Certainly
the dollar and, cents vings are rela-
tively small. On the other hand council
would be .denied the contribution and
advise of two members. At the same
time with increasing respbnlibilities
the committee system, which has work-
ed so effectively this year,, could find
itself handicapped for lack of members.
The third question has to do with en-
larging the PUC from three to five
members. Endorsed by rtepayers last
year .the question is back. again to clear
an administrative defect which wasn't
apparent at the time of the vote.
While council quite properly- consid-
ered that the question, having been ap-
proved, should be presented again to
tidy .up any defects, the '.PUC in the
meantime has suggested the require-
ment for a five man commission is not
as pressing.
Certainly there are advantages in
the wider opinion that becomes 'avail-
able as the result of a larger' commis-
sion. At the same time there are the
delays and difficulties which. result in
con ning a larger body.
As was pointed out a year ago when
the ma was discussed in these col-
umns what counts in the final analysis
is not -the numbers — it is the men and ,
women and the interest and dedication
'with which they approach their- task
that counts. '
What we said then is true today :—
"Irl the final analysis what is impor-
tant to the successful, operation, of- the
PIX are the people who make up the
commission. An increase in numbers
will not of itself improve the standing
of the commission nor add to the con-
tribution it can make to the commun-
ity" •

ARMPITS AND YANKS
Just a ,few , observations on
life in general, this week. I
have no particular theme in
mind, but it will probably have
emerged by the time we've fin-
ished. this chore (me writing,
you reading).
It's fashionable to attack the,
Yanks, so here goes. I thihk
they're giving us a bum'deal in
merchandising. If I were a politi-
cian. myplatform would -be.
"Let's ,fertifv the border!"
Every year, we send them
about .80 percent, of our best
people. artists of ail kinds. uni-
versity professors, -engineers..
Better known—, as the Brain
Drain. And every winter, we
send tllen9' our rich Reople, hun-
dreds of thousands, to*bolster
the sagging economies of Flor-
ida and California. And who do
they send us? Draft dodgers.
Deer hunting. 'A lot of peo-
ple are against it. Not me. In
fact, if I weren't a teacher, rd
take a week off every fall and
' join the great slaughter of the
deer.
Slaughter? There are 10
times as many people killed on
the highways as there are deer
in 'the bush. If I thought the
species would, be wiped out
(deer, not people), Td fight it.
But the deer population is' in-
creasing, chiefly because there
are so many lousy hunters.
I admit that no completely
sane man goes deer hunting.
Why would anybody go into the
woods in the worst weather of
the year, wind and snow, rain
and blow, to wander through
miles of swamp and slash,
swale and burn, dragging a
dirty great musket and strain-
ing his heart to the bursting
point, when he cduld be sit-
ting,.at home watching a foot -
"bail game on TV?
Why? I'll tell you. Because
it's the only, place in the world
where he can escape from com-
mittee meetings, a hogging Wife,
a shrilling' telephone, and rot-
tett

the primitive pleasures of mate:
rude jokes around• the fire: a
sense of companionship that
has nothing to do with Money
or position; the feeling of bat-
tle -against the elements; the
absence of all stress except the
physical; the eating of half -
burned meat; the belching and
breaking of wind; the dream-
less sleep of en' animal after a
day of exhaustion.
The killing of the deer is un-
important. He has proved to
himself, by George, that there's
a little juice in the old carcass,.
yet,. that he can take it without
whining, and that he's liked for
himself, not because he can do
something for somebody.
This brings us, by a logical
association of ideas, to modern
theatre. It's concerned with the
very same thing; a man trying
to prove himself. The deer hun-
ter would laugh at the play-
wright, and the playwright
would laugh at the deer hunt-
er. Each would think the other
was emotionally crippled.
' I saw a play, last weekend
that would have made my little
old mother's hair stand on end,
Even though she wouldn't have
.understood it. It is called For-
tune and Men's Eyes. Some of
the language was straight off
the walls of a public lavatory,
It's a play that will shock
and sicken some people. And
perhaps -this is not a bad idea.
It has pathos ande a macabre
humor. But lavatory walls are
a part of life. There's no sand
to put your head in. Only the
toilet bowl. And, while this is
one way of washing your hair,
it is not highly recommended.
This, again by a logical asso-
ciation of ideas, brings us to
hair. Hair on head is good.
We'll agree. to that. The bald.
ing man suffers, The balding
woman dies a thousand deaths.
Hair on legs is good if you're a
roan, bad if you're a girt. Same
with arms. Chest? No question.

And my students, when I give
them an essay to write, say,
"But sir, what can I write
about?" Answer: if, you want
to be a writer, write.
