fwoutd be located in the town itself student shenanigans georgetown had a taste of university i hi jinks last week when the battle of the as it may be known in future lore at imdwaster university took place in town in 1 1h small hours of a wednesday morning the mac students had pushed the bed i huntsville seeking to better the rec- iwd of gueiph oac in mis newesf forrr of port when the aggies ambushed them the bed had a brief siop in the local i police office was released later to continue i its way and the story then assumed a dtanddaoger angle with a decoy bed i going one way the original another aid a further fracas up country it is to be hoped met no one will con- rdjscussion group response a recent suggestion for re mail bag letters was most gratifying i the herald and we were particularly i impressed by the quality of the contents and the thought which went into mem penheps someone should form a dfs- umton group in town where pinion utd be shared topical questions debated land soma mental stimulation added to 1 hornet whfcvare too much ruled today by laomtent entertainment from television and nona of m take our polities seriously a good proiect mention was mad m eouncil recently f something which the herald hat men- 1 monad from time to time taking down lajgns after an event is over h would be a worthy proiect for a boy scout group to combine with a hike for a service club or the chamber of commerce on many posts and trees uptown one teas these indications of me past politic i lens pictures posters for long pest events there is another service too which a town of our size demands we notice that in some centres the government establishes an income tax in formation centre for a week or two each spring to answer questions and assist cm zens in making out their tax returns this would be a welcome facility for small businesmen and individual taxpayers who need such assistances sider this a reflection on university educa tion such escapades serve as a release valve for students who spend long hours al their books human beings never quite get over their urge for childhood pranks and when large groups of young people get together there are bound to be shen nantgans which af first glance might ap pear childish but which are no more fool ish than any age group gjfcpn the oppor tunity might indulge in today s young people we are sure will grow into ust as sedate members of society as those of a generation ago and their memories will be the happier for ust such incidents as the battle of the bed enough today and too many people read too few books and skip the editorial pages of the daily papers for the comics and for the sports section social gatherings are too often of tih cocktail variety where serious onversationiare ipipossible memn jones started something when ha inaugurated the first itons club ade laid hoodless name wttl hve in history for her founding of the womens institute ft h not too much to expect that someone right here in georgetown could give birth to the discussion club by starting the first chapter in various states of decomposition it is per haps too much to expect that each organi zation would have its own poster taking down committee which would function es eagerly as those entrusted with posting the signs in the first place though this is something we would suggest but at least once or twice a year we wish someone would take over the ob of spring cleaning memt our national game sugar and spice by bill smiley controversial corner the fact remains with reference to last week s editorial comment i have ony this to add that the georgetown herald is prepared to print this column even while disagreeing editorially with its context is an indication of open mindedness that the georgetown heralds managing editor should be vitally interested in the financial stability of his paper is only right that the herald can turnout the best newspaper possible with no compromise towards its maor source of revenue the advertisers i very much doubt however last week s column on the sub- ect of monopolies particularly monopol es in the commun ication field did not have the georgetown herald in mind that the unlimited expansion of such power without democratic redress is wrong i do not care to retreat from a position of belief inio one of convenient compromise high school to get new encyclopaedia sets

should be more uniformity about what should be taught and what text books should be used there should be a defin ite plan and programme out tined hy those who are in a position to give leadership ft was also expressed that a meet ing oi the ministers with some of the school principals and perhaps a member of the board of education early in the school term would be a great help at such a meeting sug gestions could be given mcth ods and materials could be discussed a teaching demos tration might be planned teach theme the ministers freely ex mg techniques could be pres- their opinions and ented a question and answer period led by a board member or a school principal would be helpful 3 it was also agreed that only the basic truths of the christian faith held by all the major protestant communions and found in the bible should be dealt with in the class room there should be no place in the class room for denominat ional bias the things upon agree ai tmoprtant than ien these basic points 1 the teaching of religion in l public schools should be con i tinned as there is a very defin he relationship between relig ion and moral behaviour un i fortunately a great many par- rewtsln every community are in f dtfftrenl to the church and church school thereby greatly teductng the attendance in i- these places by teaching re- ljlgjon in the public schools a which we pen larger constituency is much more the question that they lean achieve this power this they are protesting monopo or censorship that they can ensure that their opin ions on major issues are the only ones available is a fact that the survival of democracy in the western world may de pend to a great extent on a well informed unprejudiced el ectorate is also a fact some people may think that the power wielded by the time life fortune group by read ers digest by the hearst news paper combine is democratic and justifiable i think these are potentially the most dang habitants far out of proportion to their numerical strength canada has been built upon the found atlon of the bible and the christian faith the vast ma jority of the people still claim affiliation with one of the ma jor christian communions as every census shows surely rights of the majority should be respected and the rights of the minority protect ed the law provides them with such protection this small group should be prcpar td to accept the inconvenience crou iy combine insist of their position a christian group in a land where moham medanism confucianism and buddhism prevail must pay the price of nonconformity we know that in many lands non conformity often means suffer ing and persecution but be cause of the christian concept in canada such is not the case here yours smcerelv e a pmkerton secretary of the g m

mak os me nervous as i daresay yours does you and yours you for example last week we had to make a trip to the city young kim couldn t come with some other piano pupils she was making her radio de but on saturday morningr on the local radio station both of us had to go so we orsanhead a baby sitter and left without small daughter wa planned to hear her perform ance on tneroad over the car radio there was the usual con fusion our car radio either goat off when we hit a bump or suddenly emits great blast of music when wo dont even know ifs switched on we werent sure we would be able to gat th- program my wlfo dithered i reassured a familiar pattern the program came tlbrough loud and clear our stomachs started to churn with that sick feeling as the announcer in troduced the children s num bers each played beautifully finally he stated as calmly as anything that kim fimiiey would now play an etude we all turned and grinned tnum phantly at each other kim sailed into her piece played couple of bars then stopped abruptly there wet a silence of about three seconds during which i could distinctly hear the pulse in my wifes temple hammering over the roar of the cars engine then the child attacked the piano again end finished the piece creditably enough tjwt it was too late the old lady was so mad and disappointed that she wouldn t speak for forty miles just sat there like lots wrfe glaring straight ahead tears of rage coursing slowlj down her stony countenance hugh and i nervouslv tried eongs jokes funny stones and pointing at the now factories nothing do ing i have related this incident merely to explain that you don t pull any boners around our house and expect to have them laughed off thafi why i had a few feme weeks over the tickets i gave them to her for christmas shes a classical mu sic enthusiast and our son is studying piano at the conserv tory to at considerable ex pente 1 organised tickets for two outstanding concerts this winter she was delighted with the gift after exclaiming oer m thoughtfulness she put them in her purse six reserved seat tickets here 1 said in a bluff manh fashion oud bclttr let me keep those you are liable to lose them shes alwavs leaving hex pune at the movies or al somebodv s house or in toronto so i put them in mv hip pocket where i cam all the things i don t want to lose well a couple of days later i was changing my pants and of course that entailed trans ferring the contents of my up pocket yep no tickets in the intervening forty eight hoursr we d visited a lot of people wandered about in snow to my knees and generally co vered a lot of territory at first i was alarmed but not unduly- so i searched by trouifenf car- fully i checked all the bureau drawers i explored my wallet thoroughly i began going thro all the pockets of all my cloth- thes no tickets i didnt have the nerve to say a word of course i checked with all the people we had vie ited i searched our luggage i combed the house from attie to cellar pretending i was che cking the insulation or some thing no tickets finally i be gan to panic the next few weeks were a whirlwind of ions distance calls frantic letter writing and middle of the night soul searching as the deadline neared the pressure built up by this time i was ripping the lining out eff my clothes i had turned my wallet inside out so often that i had found a number of im portant documents missing fer years but no tickets the day of the first conceit arrived hugh and his mum were making big plans drrv to the city have a nice din ner and drive home 180 miles in subzero weather but worth it- i agreed with a sickly smile i was praying id have a heart attack or that the first bas- sian missile would fall i went out to get gas and ell checked in the car i tried ram a couple of types on the way home but they dodged me at last after six weeks of mounting horror the moment of truth arrived she was tearing around the house doing those last minute things and crying instructions to kim and me 1 slipped rato the kitchen took a big belt out of the medicinal brandy emerged put on my most hum ble look and told her i had a terrible confession to make she thought it was about a woman so immediately sat down all ive lost the ticket i blur ted what tickets the tickets for the concert tonight and the other concert next month what in the world are yog talking about they re in mj purse i look them out of vouf hip pocket the da after chnst- mas because i knew you d lose them i didn t know whether to slay her with the nearest blunt ob ject or run screaming into the froxen wastes outside i com promised and took another big 1 slug of brandy before i started to sob uncontrollably from sheer relief as i say it isnt that im scared of my wife it is iust that she makes
