r THE OLD OTTAWA SOFT SHOE BILL SMILEY Love Him A Little Kids Show Teacher This as I mentioned wife English in private school It was her Mr si rack at teachmi aside from kin dergartcn and music and she taught a Gride so it no She worked it it Bui the strain on mi was something else Every day when I humc from teaching students I had monologue her kids and what Ihey said and done today Once in a while try to Ret in a word or phnse about what my kids had and done it was like trying to stop Secretariat In full gallop with a piece of thread At the first of the year she was worried about a few of them who promise of becoming recalcitrant But sheer charm and her innate interest in other people she was able to establish a close friendly with every single one of her huge class B the time last day of school came around she was almost in tears as she realized she d probably never see of ihem igun or strangers Tins is something that most teachers who like especially when it s J graduating class There is generally a mutual warmth on the last day of school The students suddenly realize that it their last day in high school surely one of the happiest times of their life The teacher suddenly reilues is the last day he made it once QUEENS PARK a a without going around I hi bend and that this Is a pretty good lot of kids Some of the youngsters are actually scared when It conns up them that another umbilical cord has been cut and the great big hard world is waiting to swallow them Occasionally there are tears One young lady wanted to know as she wept How did sou feel when you left high school She obviously meant tint she was almost heart broken Hut she recoiled the realistic an Great It was the happiest day of my life At any rale the last day of school usually produces a feeling of fondness and ex changes of Have a summer sir And the response Will do too See you in the fall Or if Ihev re graduating Come and see us whn jou re home from college They usually do Once Of course the

remember last Throne Speech made a promise hoi government would be taking action on abandoned automobiles The promise was that it would do something about the unsightly mess that abandoned cars make of the country side As of now promise still has to be kept The only substantial step tiken to date has been to find out just what the size of the problem might be Last summer students were employed to make a survey of abandoned cars throughout the province And from their findings It is now that there arc somewhere between and a ban doncd cars to be disposed of But just how they may be disposed of Is a problem the ministry of environment which is responsible for program still has to meet VAI The root of the problem is thai old automobiles worth for scrap In areas such as Toronto which arc close to he Hamilton steel mills which use the scrap the situation is not too had hulks can be sold and still show a return of a few dollars But in areas farther away from n ills Iran sportation costs are too high There is little use in trying to dispose of the hulks And so most people just lake them out on a country and abandon them To try and come up with some inswers the ministry this summer is sponsoring pilot projects in Pembroke Marie and probably Sudbury These projects will cover techniques of collecting old cars and the costs involved whether incentives for disposal by owners might work and whether perhaps a freight subsidy lor Iran lo Hamilton might he worthwhile Along with this a plan is being considered which might turn into a bit of a shock for car owners if it is ever applied Under this when a new car was being initially registered a special disposal fee of say would be collected This would carry through the life of the car Then when finally was disposed of the final owner would collect the fee from ihe approach It Is claimed is that the public at large t have lo pay he cost of disposal Also of course there would be an incmllvc for cars to be disposed of properly thou I

at Ihe end of twenty live years Bible Verse Ik Ihil no rule vcr Ins own spiril is like i that is broken down Georgetown council this week lent its support to an Oakvllle resolution that would institute a form of ticket issued to owners of pets that run at large The idea is to make owners more directly aware of the in fraction and at the same time provide some greater measure of control It probably won t work Pets especially dogs are supposed to be mans best friends but man often the best friend of most pets If he were then there wouldn be the large number of cats dogs and such destroyed In pounds every year Its a nasty suggestion to make but the onlv sure form of Del control is pet control Municipalities have to institute stiff measures about pet ownership if they want to control pet populations especially the population that runs at large This means banning pets altogether or rigidly limiting their numbers Strict enforcement also is required much more so than generally is followed now Pet owners of course can be expected to scream But the law usually has been bent in their direction pet owners who don like to see lawns and gardens festooned with droppings are often regarded as mother haters child beaters and even Communists if they protest too loudly Even the occasional molestation that might involve a dog and a child Tor example rarely ever seems to produce much counter reaction against pet ownership It must be regarded as a simple hazard of pet ownership A few rigid applications of rules might be what society needs to drive home the lesson that pet ownership is a responsibility Its a responsibility that derives from privilege not right Little Red Hen Once upon a time there was a little red hen who scratched about and uncovered some grains of wheat She called her barnyard neighbors and said If we work together and plant this wheat we V1T1 have some bread to eat Who will help me Not I said the cow Not I said the duck as did the goose Then I will plant it the little red hen said And she did Much later when the wheat started to grow the little red hen was again denied help At length the wheat was ready for har vesting Who will help me reap the wheat the little red hen asked Not I said the cow Same thing from the duck and the goose Out of my classification said the Pig So the little red hen harvested the wheat herself Then she ground the wheat into flour Now at last she asked help with the baking That overtime for me said the cow I m a dropout and never learned how said the duck I d lose my welfare benefits said the pig If I the only one helping that would be discrimination said the goose No thanks So the little red hen baked and showed her neighbors the five loaves want some said the cow as did the duck I want my share said the goose while the pig also demanded his share No soap said the little red hen Ill just take it easy for a while and enjoy my bread Excess Similes cried the cow Company ink shouted the goose and the pig also demanded equal rights Pretty soon the farmer came to investigate the commotion You must not be greedy he told then hen Look at the oppressed cow the disadvantaged duck and the under privileged pig the less fortunate goose You are making secondclass citizens out of them But I earned the bread the little red hen said Exactly the farmer said That is the free enterprise system Anybody can earn as much as he wants In other barnyards you would have to give all five loaves to the farmer Here you keep one and give four loaves to your suffering neighbors And they lived happily ever after including the little red hen whose neighbors never ceased to wonder why in the world she never raised any more wheat or baked any more bread Fussbudgeting Pays Off If a Georgetown householder received 100 a week to spend on necessities and had left by the time the end of the week rolled around the natural temptation would be to spend the remaining amount on anything necessity or not avoid the possibility that the stipend might be cut to That situation is something like the one which happened to several Ontario ministries which it was later shown hurried to spend approved budgets to avoid future cutbacks An investigation discovered that last minute shopping did in fact occur along with unusual transfers of funds that helped exhaust budgets before the end of fiscal years Now at least two Ontario ministries health and natural resources operate under direc tives that order staff not to follow irregular practices Does all this seem to be an exercise in Perhaps but it should be some consolation to all Ontario tax payers that better budgeting might result with more realistic ap praisal of needs and some ex according to priorities Out of all this comes the chance that taxpayers will receive better value for their tax dollars And thats not such a bad thing is if Tugivcintotviri whnnnf the flesh is in inn men to ml for a tiki of tint is mod Telephone ItltHUiDCAMUUA Publisher
