the HERALD Home Newspaper of Hills WEDNESDAY AUGUST A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Mam St South Georgetown Ontario WILLIAM EVDOKIMOFF Publisher Second Class Mall Registered Number You dont look a gift horse in the mouth board has mode a recommendation that the region and town jointly finance the of the Mountalnview Road and River Drive intersection All well and good butthev vealBo in the Bame recommendation flatly refused any financial assistance on the project from future developers of property in that area simply because of the legal implications and obligations that would arise from any signed agreements For a council that has shown judicious hesitancy in turning down any possible additional fundings for any of Its past projects their decision on this major and no doubt very costly project is a little hard to understand While it may be a frisky one that additional money from the developers is nevertheless a gift horse And you know what you don t do with gift horses There are two developers who are very concerned about having that intersection improved One the fate of whose property may awing on whether or not that extremely dangerous hump can be removed has already told council he would be willing to assist in any way to get the work started Fear of possible obligations Is a poor excuse That being a regional road Halton Is going to call the shots on when where and how the work is done Halton Hills lone contribution to the project will be how to pay for It and that they have already been told may be easier than they think or want But thank goodness planning board has decided to act as the Initiator for what Is a badly needed project Pulling out from River Drive just traversing the knoll on Mountalnview is nothing more than a game of Blind Man s Bluff and someone is even tually going to lose A good councillor and a friend Some of the games people play In the passing of Len we have lost a great councillor and spokesman for many but first and foremost we have lost a great and understanding man Its so unfortunate that a man who opened his heart to the requests and wants of so many others should be cut down by that very same heart He was we unashamedly admit perhaps the councillor we admired mostonacouncllflUedwithmen who have gained our respect was a councillor we found to be willing to spend a little extra time to lend a hand to impart some knowledge or advice or just be a good and close friend We will most certainly miss him To his family although we realize how little words can mean at a time such as this we as we know all of Halton Hills does pay our deepest respects and sympathies at this tune A Queens Park view of the election By Don Queen Park Bureau Of The Herald TORONTO When the press conferences were over on the day of the announcing of the election a reporter sum marfzed them this way Davis he said la ready for a light Nixon is bitter and Lewis is resigned It was a good and seemingly It may have been setting the tone of the whole campaign NEW DAVIS The former good friendto everybody I has been much more of a fighting man recently In the House on several occasions he has shown strong outbursts and at times has been scathing He has shown a hitherto unknown power and has had his benches cheering During the campaign we can expect more of this A lot of It will probably be directed at the federal government which he ap parently intends to make his chief whipping horse But Robert Nixon will also get his The Liberal leader and his troops seen- to really Irk the premier And his usual treatment is to scathingly dismlsi as nothings NIXON BOTHERED Bob Nixon on his part seems to be really bothered by the government and parti Davis Bothered to the extent that they seem to really get to him Between any politicians and moments But any smile that comes from the Liberal leader regarding Tories or Davis Is wry Indeed He leaves the Impression of being In a real hate match Which means we could be In for some fiery times par ticulorly In those few weeks after Labor Day when the election will be at Its peak There probably Is even a key to this in that Nixon has said he it not going to hesitate to use the various boobs and scandals In which the Davis administration has been In This means personalities And personalities mean heat LEWIS RESERVED Lewis the enigma of the election For the past several months he has been Inclined to sit back He has stillbeen the best the brightest and the wittiest speaker in the House But he has mainly held his wit and his inimitable scorn for passing events and has hardly used it politically It Is known that he has been trying to build a new Image for himself and his party But the impression left has been that he knows there Is no substantia chance of gains In this vote and that he would be better to more or less sit it out Gerry Land borough Eric Berne wrote the book Games People Ploy as a sequel to Transactional Analysis In Psychotherapy but It was written in a way that could be understood independently The best lifestyles are naturally psychologically game free but to a certain extent we hove all played gomes at one time or another Unfortunately for many game playing can become a way of life a self defeating way of life are a few of the more common games that trap people into being victimized by themselves becoming in effect their own worst enemy Games are substitutes for real living substitutes for real intimacy between people Most psychological games are played without the person being aware of what Is really happening See how many of the following games you can identify One of the easiest games a person can trap themselves Into playing Is If It t For You In this game the person or victim of the game feels that life could be oh so if The you could be on aged parent an unsatisfactory spouse a difficult employer just about anyone that In the mind of the victim Is responsible for holding the person back from reaching their true potential In reality the only one holding a personbacklshis or herself though there are many people who go through life believing otherwise See What You Made Me Do la another favorite of many In Ihla game the player Is engrossed In doing something a second person enters the Interruption causes the first to lose concentration For instance a mother is washing the floor offspring eaten crying about a lost toy mother jumps up and trips over the floor bucket The result See what you made me do It game that is very quickly learned by children A favorite game for group conversation Is Ain It Awful You can play A1A by discussing any community or world problem Someone mentions divorce crime or In and everyone is off t it awful Why Don You Yes But is a game in which the victim sets up a terrible set of circumstances the listener then offers a number of possible alternatives to which the player answers with yea but This game can be played very successfully by business executives they describe the terrible state of affairs the business Is In then shoot down all alternatives offered to them by employees with the but Bigger and Better is a game that la usually ployed by children but a good many adults play It too One person starts out by relating a new job a trip or any piece of good fortune The second party then makes the game bigger and better by out doing the first person a achievement Bigger and better Is a Sweetheart Is a marital game One spouse makes a statement and ends It with Ian that right sweetheart The spouse usually exposes a deficiency in the respective mate the bigger the expose the more acid la placed In the word sweetheart People use games to cover every Imaginable part of living In all games there Is a theme and a payoff The payoff Is a one relnforclng a persona negative views about themselves The players assume the roles of victim- persecutor or rescuer according to which game is being played To be game free takes a great deal of courage It Involves being completely honest then with others This type of honesty makes you responsible for your own choices and decisions To be game free Is to grow from the Inside out to allow yourself to become the unique person that only you can be Remember If a man has to live with himself be should see to it that he always has good company Its curtain time By Bill Johnston listen should you ever want some help buying some drapes let me know you re talking to a veteran of the wars Five days ago I couldn have cared less if my windows were filled with a couple of old copies of the Herald just as long as the sun t too bright In the morning I have problems you see facing during the first Tew hours of a morning anything stronger than the light coming from my Donald Duck night light I hadn t even thought about the reaction of anyone looking In IrssortofllketheBaby Blue movies or the National News on television I figured If you wanted to watch that sort of thing fine go right ahead If you well tough luck turn the channel If my neighbours t like to see me strolling about no I don t go about flagrante my place then fine why not come on over and get a first hand glimpse I extremely neighbourly when It comes to that sort of thing For those occasions when privacy should be demanded well I have these blinds which through some miracle of engineering when I pull one cord fall the full length of the window and close out all light But then I had a visitor who commented she dldn think my blinds fitted Iasked What decor If you had to put a name to what I have furnished my place in you could probably call It Early American Ac cumulated A bit here a bit there none of which was bought with any decor In mind If they bad anything In common It was the fact that somewhere I have a receipt for each But you ve got to have drapes Con sideling It was more of an order than a suggestion I decided that perhaps It might be best to comply So there I stood last Thursday evening in the centre of a huge department store In a huge department filled with nothing but drapes I bumbled around for a while trying to figure out how all those drapes would look In a window which is easier said than done When they re hanging one on topof the other by the hundreds it Is slightly difficult to figure out just which one Is THE ONE By sheer volume somewhere in that mess had to be THE ONE Particularly considering I wasn t that choosy Can I help you My confusion must have been showing Yes I like some drapes I thought that a dumb answer considering where I was It dldn seem to strike the saleslady that way Oh She actually seemed quite mv request for drapes What kind Well I thought orange or brown would do quite nicely Oh You better talk to Mrs Shulmon Mrs popped out from behind a curtain which fittingly was orange Can I help you Here we go again Yes Id like a set of brown or orange drapes Patterned plain or striped Mrs Shulman asked What aim What kind of material It was a painful process for both of us We struggled through finding out I wanted lOWjy Inch curtains We decided that would be the best kind of material And then came the color To tell you the truth I still can figure out why Ive got what ve got Mrs Shulmtn a true expert In browns I found oat narrowed the search down to three particular types of drapes Finally my chance to show that I was a comparative shopper I Which is the cheapest I asked That I don want it Which la the most expensive That one I don want It The third will do Sotheretheyare Staring at me Theyre like a big price tag always Impressing upon me the fact that I dldn really want them In the first place I sit here with those stupid drapes blocking my view They re nothing more than a continuation of my walla I miss my neighbours Ads nothing but garbage To the of the Herald Ministry of the environment propaganda in local media last week on garbage Garbage Is coming up Roses was just that a load of garbage As one who has devoted much energy time and some money into the study of solid waste I would point out that Ontario s much publicised world first plans for handling Ontario solid waste ore at least a decade behind the plans of the city St Louis and Hemp stead Long Island Ontario a solid wsste plants ttall haven capacity to handle from to 1 tons of municipal gar bage per day That garbage that cannot be reclaimed but be There Is also a vague promise of some In in the distant As I painted out at Hope Township Milton Heights Georgetown Kilbride Brampton at Halton Region etc etc etc If garbage Is shredded baled or dipped In it different different herbs and spices It la still garbage and when landfllled it still pollutes St Louis has very definite plans for solid waste The garbage from a BOO sq mile area B tons per day will be recycled The non reclalmables will be In and will produce power This facility will be operating by Initial plans were announced In early Hempstead Long Island s plant will process percent of that city a municipal waste tons per day After reclamation the remainder will be Incinerated and will provide coo kilowatt per day of new power to that city This method of solid waste disposal Incineration for power after reclamation la the accepted method In many countries around the world Is no longer accepted and no amount of public money spent on ads telling us otherwise will make it acceptable Sunday will cost extra To the Ml lor of the Herald In reference to the Food stores open on Sunday article of August 13 As a consumer as well as a merchant I am completely opposed to food stores opening Letters to the Editor All totters to the Editor must be signed on Sunday Why The reason Is obvious A seven day shopping week means higher food prices At the moment we have a few short sighted merchants whose greed exceeds their good sense who are taking advantage of the Sunday market But what happens when all the food stores open on Sunday After all it baa to be a fair competition What happens Is you the consumer can shop seven days a week Instead of six for your groceries Convenient Yes but with a difference You the consumer are not going to spend any more than you did before just because you have seven days In stead of six to do your shop ping The result inevitably is that the merchants concerned onesixth to be exact Who pays for this extra The merchant No You the consumer will pay and think food prices are high enough as it Is So I suggest to prevent this the remedy Is in your hands Boycott those stores that open on Sunday The most powerful organisation In the world la the public I repeat A sevenday shopping week means higher prices Charles Crimes
