ByORVILLESCUGG Sunderland Correspondent Well let me tell you my Henrietta and me aint no different from the rest of the crowd when it cornea to the battle of the sexless Folks around these parts flgger that Just because the two of us is still hitched after 30odd years the only spats we ever had must of bin the ones I wore away on our honeymoon Now that there is a good one Why over the years Hank and me has had some good oldfashioned bareknuckle brawls that would make latest heavyweight match bet ween Muleheaded Alley and George Forearm look like Libber Archie with uncle Mil tie We had another humdinger a short spell ago and if I hadnt a out my back carryin a load of my home made hootch out to the goat barn Ida won that one Anyways to make a long story snort old Hank pinned me to the ground and allowed as how she wouldnt let me up until I promised to take her to Teronto fer the day to do some Now shed bin Jaw In at me a coons age to gas old Miss Agnes up and drive Into the big city but up till then Id managed to talk her out of it by out that she was In danger of raped and pillaged by all them hippos what hang out around Yung Street in Chinatown Well If an incyclepeedya salesman dont sell her a set of them books and she looks up hippo and sees its a vejltartan bo there went that argument Anyways fair fair worshipful servant here agreed to throw cushions to the wind and make the Into Teronto the day And mind you Just like old McDonald said when he locked In the outhouse and missed the preachers visit things usually turn out fer the best Do you know that since the last time left Gods country fer the wicked south theys gone and put In one of highways called the FourOughtOne what takes you right Into without havin to make an overnight stop at Moodys hayloft over

downtown was by called Ihe Rudy Vallee Parkway but we never did find It Instead we saw a sign fer Yung Street although they try to Westernize it by it different and we It right downtown even though there are more red lights on that street than on Sadies Pleasure Palace back in Sunderland Well iffen you though the biggest part of the adventure was get tin there you was wrong Unfortunately this here Daylight Slavln Time makes it get dark awful early and I dont have no more kerosene fer the lantern so I have to tell you about the rest of our trip another time More arena protection brawl Friday night at the arena just adds one more point to a strong argument in favor more protection for fans and players alike in the arena Two weeks previously during a Raiders game two young spectators received minor cuts when hit by Dying pucks They were lucky ft takes only one moment of inattention and an unintended bouncing puck Result an eye injury a painful cut or a severe blow to the head Friday nights situation was by a fan located too close the penalty box The fan managed to taunt the player into action and that mushroomed into the entire ugly situation The fault for the entire Incident wlthanumber of people fans and players alike But fault should also lie with the circumstances Had not the fan been able to get on the original players nerves had not the fans been able to get to the players and players to fans the incident would not have occurred We would like to see town councils works committee initiate a study Into the costs of providing some sort of protection for fans at the arena be it plexiglass or screening of some sort No doubt it will be costly Ml things are today But weighed against possible accidents or in cidents such as Friday nights which do nothing to aid Georgetowns stature in the eyes of visitors it may be a profitable expenditure Making you laugh Greg Landry aims to make you laugh But then depending upon which side of his pen youre on he just might make you mad And those are the reasons why hes with the Herald Greg has joined the Herald staff as our part- lime editorial cartoonist He began filling a large section of our page four editorial page last week and already hes drawn quite a following judging from response on Main Street Gregs a 19year resident of Georgetown which qualifies him as a fairly knowledgeable observer of the Halton Hills scene He attended Georgetown and District High School before moving onto Sheridan College where he enrolled in the Media Arts Course While there he studied under the direction of Graham Pillsworth back up cartoonist for Duncan with the Toronto Star and Ted Marten cartoonist with the Toronto Sun Upon graduation from the course Greg took on a Job at English PlasUcs in Brampton He spends his time carrying out freelance art assignments as well as his new regular work for the Herald We hope youll enjoy this new addition and look for It each week Federal Johns budget has nothing on this one Cold look at school There I was barrelling merrily along the Kings Highway or is it the Queens and who nearly runs me over Youll never guess It was a great big white Lincoln Continental with New York State orange licence plates the driver None other than Punch Imlach And he was in a hurry It seems because I tried to keep up with him all the way from Metro Torontos East end to the airport where his big white machine speedily disappeared Off to Buffalo for yet another practice I guess Or is he still with the Buffalo To some of my readers I know this is a terrible question to pose After all doesnt everyone know where Punch hangs out Well Ive a confession to make I cant be sure until tonight when I come home ana ask my 12year old son Hell know In fact he knows where they all are And that In cludes the expansion teanm what a lovely term for a hockey club Anyway from all this you can gather Im having a difficult time by PETER writing a column this week Editor Johnston on my back saying Boss even you have to adhere to a deadline and I know hes right But I do have an excuse Ive been busy with things that are not necessarily my favorite pastime but things all the same that must be done that are not necessarily my favorite pastime but things all the same that must be done Ive been busy for several planning for next year Trying to estimate how many columns of type we will be giving you the reader and how many new carrier boy bags well need next year and how many typewriter ribbons and how much film and how much fuel were going to burn this winter That one really gets me I know white man make big pile of wood this fall but can I really be sure the pile so high it has to reflect my budget Think about it folks John Turner thinks hes having a tough time doing the

JO YE AGO Harold Cleaves and Joe Gibbons will contest the mayoralty race In Georgetown this year Issues to be discussed this election will be taxes garbage pEckupstown ex penditures and town planning School trustee Tom Watson cer tainly came up against tough op position last Thursday in As the man who presented the motion which led to the closing of the school in the village his appearance there was much like a Christian sticking his neck into the forum to find out if the lions were hungry We admire his nerve For a man whos just recovering from a heart attack he was not taking it easy But beyond that we admire his stand on the school issue Certainly not on the decision to close the school We will never con done the sort of behind the scenes shenanigans pulled to close that school It may have made all the sense in the nonsensical world of the board of education to close that but the whole thing came down to the principle of the situation Peoples feelings versus black and white statistics in an official ledger But thats all by the board now school is no longer school What we admired Mr Watson for was his cold approach with regard to the Norval school It something which should be copied by our councillors during the next step in this Norval issue ie to turn the school into a community centre or not to As it stands now the school board is looking for someone to buy the school They want to get it off their hands The community of Norval would like it as a community centre com plete with ball diamond and tennis court Even the smallest amount of common sense would lead you to the conclusion that it would be logical for the Halton Board of Education to sell it to Halton Region But whats the cost Talk of or frightens us If the cost is going to run In that area we would strongly suggest that our councillors both town and regional with a strong hand from Halton Hills recreation director take a cold hard look at whether or not that recreational centre is needed In Norval We dont know We would hope that council can easily provide facts and figures which would show us that such a large expenditure for a recreational centre In would be a definite asset not just for the people of the village although they should come first but to the entire Halton Hills community Lets not forget that we are presently also looking at a large and expensive water system for Norval As council sits down at the bargaining table with the board of education we would hope they realize they are entering negotiations in a very good position The market for the old Norval la a buyers market not a sellers The board has to get it off their hands which should lead to some sharp horse trading on councils part
