Det*ils, Write Torharn C.., Postal station "",Hamnilton, Ont. 17-1w Dear Sir, I look forward each Tbursday te receiving tbe News, Advertiser, particu- larly for its advocations o! humanitari- anism and integrity. It is the latter o! these qualities I feel bas been breached by the enclosed ciassified advertisement from your Feb- ruary 23 edition. This same ad appeared a few )f montbs ago and, at that time, I repiied to it. It Torham Ca. sent me a letter in ýewbicb I was te tick off eitber full or part-time typing. This 'ticking off' was totally irre- nlevant to the letter's real purpose - ta eask me- for $1 for wbicb I'd receive the edetails of rny typing jobs. t At this point in my relationship swith Torham Ca., suspicions cropped iup in my mind, but sa did curiosity. 1Off went My $1. My 'typing jobs' turned out ta be apoorly preduced littie pamphlet tell- ing me ta cail everyone in town for 'the purpose of offering my typing services! Fraudulent? Not legally, according ta Toronto Daily Star columnist Ron I-aggart, wbo wrote a lengthy expose of Torham and similar misieading advertisers. But wbat about moral fraudulence? 1 feel. se strongiy about this sort e! underhandedness that 1, bere and naw, offer ta pay the News Advertiser the ameunt of maney that paper woulct forge by refusing Torham Ca. adds in the future. 37 Garside Avet Brooklin, Ontar ~ear i.. ~ April 29, 1967.

It is futile for the average Ameni- can - or for that matter for Canadian - ta place tht blame on others, such as the angry, milk-dumping farmers. The crime of alwing tht present social and ecanomic imbalance in the worid ta continue belongs ta everyane wbo is cancerned solely with bis ewn mat- enial advancement - and wbo ignores pleas and cries of tht bungry worid.

In 1943 tht total legisiative grants for elementary and secandary education in Ontario were $8 million; in 1962 $220 million; in 1966 $335 million, and the 1967 estimates cali fer $443 million. This represents an increase in grants o! 100%Y since 1962, and it is in- teresting te note t bat tht amount, o! cash pravided te boards in Ontaria is just about equal te tht total for school boards in ail tht ather p'rovinces cern- bined. Costs, hawever, have kept pace with the increased assistance. Cost of elementary and secendary education in the province rase frem $545 million in 1962 ta $780 million in 1965 and is con- tinuing ta rise. Tht probiem is net only a local ont; it is comman to every jurisdiction in tht North Amenican continent. An article in the Christian Science Monitor o!

Nowadays, instead o! taking out oui' aggressions on each other, we huddle before the Great Soporifie on Saturday nights, dinner baianoedi on aur knees.. We pour ail aur aggressions into a stl!ff body-check, Or a, saloon brawl in a West- ern. As' a result, the fine aid famlly fight on a Saturday nigbt bas degener- ated into a querulous quibble about:' who's going ta get up and !etch a 'beer during the commercial. HOwever, 1 amn glad to gay, altloughi the family fight is dying, it is flot quit.- extinct. The other day 1 read, wlthý growing fascination, of s Christmnas Eve squabble that has. to rank wlfh one of thie great ones. It took place lait Dec., 24th, and the legal aftermath la now in. progress. As the newspaper reported it, this young fellow admitted he drank be- tween 30 and 40 botties of heer during the day. That, is some beer drinker. You try putting down about four gallons of.. beer the dayr before Christmas, or any ather day, and I guarantee yau'l bave a beiiy *the shape, and a nase the hue of S. Claus himself. Not ta mention the beers coming out your ears. It gets better. Tbe Champ, as we shall caîl himn, bad an argument with his brother, who threw humf out o! the 'bouse. Imagine, the giug. and undaunt- ed, -The Champ climbed a tree. Maybe he thougbt it was a pear tree and b. vas a partridge. Who knows., Anyway, brather stepped outside. vitb a shot-gun.

The champ testified that he couidn't remember swinging bis mother-.inîlaw iround by ber bair, although h. did idad- nit baving a fight with ber. It seunds like a swinging party.' 7m just as glad I wasn't ther 'e, but, it )rves that the famiiy fight stiliibas ilittie steam in it,- even tbou h it i. sappearing from our way o!fiffe. )ueen'Ps Park
