Editor PHONE Second Clan Mall Registered U Well done Editorialists have ben termed the type who come out of the hills l after an attack and finish off the survivors Not so Well be as quick and to the point as possible In our summation of the results of last weeks election Well done to all three candidates Your short stint in the harsh light of an election campaign has proven that you were and hopefully will continue to be involved interested citizens who were willing to put your necks on the line for harried days All three came through physically a little worse for wear As to all other aspects presentation com munication and effort you ran a fine campaign Now to the winner We and the public will be watching Now thats communication Isnt It marvellous this age of communication in which we live Just imagine flying from London England to Toronto in a little over two hours Thats what the new Concord fit can do and since it beats the sun by several hours it could deliver a letter in Toronto today that was sent from London tomorrow barring mail strike of course Now thatB communication Meanwhile satellites are flashing picture messages around the world In seconds computers are spewing out a volume of Informative messages that boggles the mind and sometimes the computer How many telegraph wires and cables are sending messages at this very moment How many telephones are ringing right now with potential messages The irony of it is that in this great age of communication we find more and more evidence of lack of com munication between husbands and wives parents and children minority groups and the establishment management and labor and between nations Individuals groups and nations reach out for the help of marriage counsellors psychiatrists group therapists strike mediators special ambassadors and truce teams all in an effort to communicate Words pile on words to create a monument to our tragic Inability to communicate with each other in a significant way There an ancient story which la in Itself useful commentary on the art of communication It tells of an old gardener and a very close friend who shared his love of gardening They used to take long walks together and they drank their evening tea together saying hardly a word but exchanging views and emotions by a shake of the head a smile or a frown In time the friend was sent to a distant land and after many years the old gardener was thrilled to discover his friend had finally sent a message The letter was very brief but it brought a flood of memories and joy to his heart It simply Today I pruned my rose tree It took months for the old gar to compose a reply to his friend one that would express all his af fection his memories and loneliness At last the return message was ready and expression of the ties that bound the two old men together and it read as follows TODAY I too pruned my rose trees Surely his friend got the message loud and clear St Thomas TimesJournal Viewpoint Dream on By Gerry Laoasberoagh Hid any good dreams lately That question may not be at silly it appear on the surface this week Viewpoint takea a look at the strange world of dreams Scientists the world over are making remarkable discoveries into the world of sleep the world of dreams Researchers have shown that we all have dreams even though some people have more difficulty remembering them than others Using a machine called an electroencephalograph scientists have been able to monitor a sleepers brain waves through tiny metal electrodes tapes to the temple around the eyes and the top of the bead Tbey have discovered among other things that we all dream In colour even if we Sleeping puis apparently decrease the ability to remember a dream perhaps because ft produces such a deep sleep The sleep cycle Is divided Into four stages The first Is a period of light sleep with rapid eye movement It Is during REM rapid eye movement dreams that we dream our most colourful and vividly remembered dreams Toe second and third stages are known as nonrapid eye at movement periods dreams are harder to remember and not as vivid or emotional The final stage Is the Delta sleep period Itlsthedeepestsleepofthecycle Everyone goes through ail fourcycles many times during a night sleep Usually this occurs about once every minute Sir Walter Scott was reported to have said when things didnt seem to go together Never mind I shall have it a t seven clock tomorrow morning Many famous figure In science and literature such as Edison Robert Louis Stevenson and J B Priestly to name only a few have all stated that their moat famous discoveries or works of literature have come to them In sleep In a dream The ancient also knew of the power of the dream and practised A means of foretelling the future by the In terpretaUonof dreams Today In the study of parapsychology a new science studying telepathy ana related subject researcher are finding out that dreams often do reveal glimpses of the future A complete analysis of dreams Is a very complex field requiring a trained therapist However anyone can do a little dream research of his own in very simple form The brain Is divided into two halve the right side and the left The right side la takes place while the left aide performs the logical and rational thought process By learning to monitor your dreams many ideas that answer that perplex you during the daytime will come to your aid To do thla try keeping a notebook record of your dreams Some will be lust plain silly but some may bold the key to an Important in your life Back In 1930 a chap named Henry Cobb turned a small business Into a million dollar operation by keeping a record of his Idea immediately upon awakening Recently in Toronto a member of a management consultant firm Derm Barrett gave a seminar to business executive which Included a discussion on how to turn dream Ideas Into profitable and practlcalbuslneasreallties According to Barrett most of the ideaa formed in the right aide of the brain are Impractical foolish and even Immoral The Important thing to remember Is that some of them are brilliant Inspired and practical Now using the above one might find that most of what is being written down upon awakening la so much nonsense However by utilizing lust a few minutes In the morning you might find that you have solved an Im problem or possibly discovered Innovation that might change your entire lifestyle Vou won be able to Interpret every message your dreams arc trying to tell you but you keep at It you will get better and better The next time that someone suggests give It airy just might wake up with all the right answers Pleasant dreams By Sots a De During the last three weeks of August young Teresa was enrolled in a Red Cross swimming class and the physical exertion nearly killed me I should enlarge on that statement by the only method of transportation at my disposal was a bicycle with Teresa perched on the carrier behind For a sedentary person like myself who considers getting out of bed In the morning a major achievement setting out for a minute bicycle ride to the pool at each day was hardly a Joyous experience and no one will ever convince me that the sudden exposure to all that unlimited early morning oxygen can possibly be good for you The only way to go However due to my motherly devotion there I was on all of the IS mornings riding uphillanddowndalaatdaybreak and up hill It certainly was A hill of formidable proportions had to he navigated that in a very short while became my nemesis In Tact by the middle of the it loomed more likoa mountain Each morning my first conscious waking thought was having to once again beat that hill 1 now know that all these expensive multigeared bicycles arc Just a ripoff Kids glide up and down hills with case simply because they are kids For the average adult a hulls a hill whether you have one gear or thousand a minute but demands an answer and halfway up a long sloping lull on a bicycle Isnot really an occasion conducive to conversation Mummy she would ask Why don t go faster Ugh was my reply Arcn we going to be late Pant Gasp and so on However my of selfsatisfaction on finally surmounting this obstacle each day can only be compared to how Hannibal must have felt after negotiating the Alps with his column of elephants There were course some aide benefits Not only do 1 now look like a muscular short haired version of Mr Universe but I was cheered on each day by a group of Bell Telephone men This is one company by the way that must have an unwritten law about hiring only good looking men Isn It strange how as you approach forty the young men all look far more at tractive than they did when you were twenty They no doubt believed It inconceivable that a mature approaching middleage lady would be riding around on a bicycle in a pair of short shorts and probably thought I had to be an old looking eighteen However oneway It was not entirely a wasted effort Teresa finally learned to put her face in the water and besides thinkoftheadvantaseltwlllgiveme twenty years from now when I can Irately say to her Ingratitude After all ve done for you Queens Park Commentary So much for number 30 Park Bureau Of The Herald Ontario a thirtieth provincial election probably got un two years ago last winter with a couple of air plane flights Premier Davis took his family on a skiing holiday In Vermont and Provincial Resources Secretary Bert Lawrence went to Cuba taking along his wife and his deputy and his wife Both used government aircraft and both got a tot of publicity when this leaked out From that point on one started to hear gripes about the premier and the govern ment particularly about the premier A time passed the gripe didnt lessen but grew and most notably a surprising share of them were from Conservatives and other people who normally wouldn t Be expected to gripe One could sense that politically all was far from well with the government A year later this took sub stance when there a by election In Huron a seat which the had held since IMS and the Liberals won Some months later there wasabyelectionlnanothcr seat Toronto St George The Liberals won again Last fall mere were other byelections East and the government continued to be shut out the NDP taxina Stormont and the Liberals Carleton East Then In February of this year there was the clincher an opinion pal it showed the Liberals at percent up 10 point over two years before and the PCs at 30 percent down 13 There was then no doubt that the Davis administration was in serious trouble and the PC year stronghold on power in the province was threatened There were many facets to It and a variety of reasons for Its striking result There was the admirable campaign The mood of the public which largely one of bewilderment at our troubled times with groping for some stability And then particular sectional grievances such as regional government farm incomes disastrously highcoat housing civil servants of them and teachers some of them who had found militancy But over riding all was the underground disaffection with the premier and his govern ment Strangely this was something that be pointedly pinned down An exact finger t be put on It There was no shape to It It must have puzzled the premier and his advisers For it was there and had to know It Perhaps if you said that a Hood section of the public of Ontario was weakening In Its love for Its government you would be as close to the situation as you could get And It proved as reluctant to mending as most disrupted love affairs In the five weeks of the election the PC a left an of bewilderment They were working very hard they seem to know Just where they were going or where they should be going They t know how to sell themselves back o their swain the voters of the province Not knowing where or how they be positive And not being positive they drifted Into pique They were publicly hurt and offended and per and said they weren being treated fair And the swain buy Why should he have All he was being offered wa the claim that the government was strong Ana he already had his opinions of that Then of course came a flood of goodies and tancea Bouquets and Inherent admissions of wrong But it was too late for these And when the time of decision came the voter if not saying an absolutely flat no made clear It was going to reach a lesson The successful romance of the campaign of course was conducted by Stephen Lewis He was carefully restrained at first then when he got down to wooing In the later stages showed in his concern over rent and hi plans for them that he was un demanding and firm The voter weren ready to marry htm but they told him that they liked what they had seen As for the Liberals Tragedy AtonepolntthepoUs showed them with 44 percent of the vote They ended up with more than 10 points less than that The voters were ready to welcome them But they did want to be shown And they weren There were promises But no assurance that they could be delivered And in the last week particularly there wa little substance A loud drum the party was But hollow as any drum In terms of a ove affair the election was crumbling romance for the PC s a suitor that dldn I measure up in the case of the Liberals and with the NDP a suitor that won affection but about which there a till were doubts And now we have minority government Afraid Don be In the 31 years of Tory dominance in the province the two best years almost tainly were 194349 the
