2 The Canadian Statesman, Bownianville, January 29. 1975 Section Two EDITORIAL COMMENT One of These Days! Around five o'clock Saturday morning, Fire Chief Jim Hayman must have shuddered with appre- hension when a call came in that a fire was raging on the top floor of one of the high buildings on King St. As he and the rest of the firemen approached the scene, they could see flames shooting out through the roof and thought they really were in for a real battle. Fortunately, the flames were coming out a skylight, the roof hadn't burned through, so they were able to bring it under control within a short time. Thèy were lucky this time, and so were the tenants of that building, but next time it could have a different ending with loss of lives and an enormous amount of property dam- age. There are many buildings in this town and elsewhere throughout the Town of Newcastle area, so high that with their present equipment, fire- men cannot do a proper job of getting to a top floor fire quickly and extinguishing it before it consumes the entire building. In the one on Saturday morning, the had to go up a ladder to reach the roof and, fortunately, were able to climb up the stairs from the inside to the burning apartment. A call was put through to the Oshawa fire depart- ment for one of their aerial ladders, but their spare one was being repaired and they had to keep one on hand for their own use. For some time, it has been obvious that we must have our own aerial ladder to provide adequate protect- ion for buildings within the town, the villages of Newcastle and Orono. The call on Saturday morning really brought that fact home with a vengeance. Next time, who knows? Let's Give Them A Hand This is the BIG weekend with the 24-hour Non-Stop Parade of Stars appearing over the Global Televis- ion network during a 24-hour- rell-a-thon to raise funds for Participation House projects across Ontario. It is sponsored by the Ontario Federation for the Cerebral Palsied, and in this area, the Oshawa and District Cerebral Palsy Parent Council for Crippled Child- ren is participating. It is especially interesting to note that more that 90 per cent of all Advance donations will be used in our own area by the local organiza- tion for housing, facilities and services to the physically handicap- ped adult, and this will also hold true for more than 78 per cent of all money collected during the Tell-a thon. Here, we would like to pay a sincere tribute to Mrs. Ralph Campbell of R.R. 4 whose heart, soul and complete dedication'have been in this work for many years. She has been extending considerable promo- tional effort on this particular project, with the result that many local people and students have become involved in not only raising funds, but volunteering their ser- vices for answering phones during the 24-hour campaign. So, you'd better get some rest during the day on Saturday because you'll want to stay up most of the night and the following day to hear and see the great program that has been arranged, and the many stars who have volunteered to help this great cause. If we all get in there and help with our donations, we could quite possibly soon have our own Partici- pation House for physically handi- capped adults from this area. Wrigleys Deserve Praise On several occasions during the past week, many from this area have spent some spare time watching those young midget hock- ey players from across Canada- competing in the second annual Wrigley Midget tournament at Oshawa. It must have been a tremendous week for al those youngsters directly involved, not just to have the opportunity of playing against other teams in their age group, but also to have the opportunity of making new friends from coast to coast. We haven't any information on how the Wm. Wrigley Jr. company became involved in the project but we consider it one of the finest sponsorships that any firm has ever undertaken, and congratulate who- ever originated it. Next year, it will be moved to Calgary where we feel certain it will be welcomed with as much enthusi- asm and goodwill as was evident in the Oshawa tournament. The Wrig- ley people are to be commended, not just for allowing their name to be connected with the project, but also for the magnificent organization job that was done by everyone concern- ed. It was a great show from start to finish! POET'S CORNER My Creed The One who supporteth the bird on the wing Is guide to my heart and will lead. My God is the One maketh all things to spring, The flower, the tree and the weed. 'Tis He who unlocketh the heart of the rose And displayeth its smile to the sun My God is the God giveth peaceful repose When the tasks of the day are done. My creed is to worship Him, follow Him, bind Al my trust on His own potent will, To work for Him ever, to love all mankind, And at His command, "Peace, be still!" To cease from all worry since He knoweth best, And on His dear word to rely; To trust He will lead me to peace, joy and rest, In His beautiful "Sweet By and By." - E. V. Eddyvean Changes 'Tis strange to note the changes Passing time has brought about, Strange to hear man's intonations Soon replace the schoolboy's shout, Hard to see youth's thoughtless mischief Grow to man's maturer crime, And sad to see the landscape Changing with the lapse of time. 'Tis hard to see the friendships Of the old days dead and gone, Hard to see the good old customs Slowly passing one by one, Hard to see the fickle fancies Of the present days supplant The good old-fashioned friendships, And friend prove a miscreant. But when we grow accustomed To the changes wrought by time We forget the former pleasure, And the present seems sublime, And it would not suit God's purpose If the sapling did not grow; Change alone can make a tree Therefore we must bide it so. -E.

It all began with some friends of ours who like to play with words and create wild puns. They had a bit of a problem and one said to the other:. "We seem to be in dire straits." The other replied solemnly: "Yes, Dire Straits separate Tierra Del Freakout from the Cape of Good Dope, I believe." Or something like that. And. they were off. They tried it on some of their friends, and the result was a collection of puns that even Shake- speare would have blushed at. All you need.is a knowledge of geographical terms and a total inability to blush at the atrocious puns you produce. Some of your friends will undoubt- edly try, if I know people, to turn it into a pornographie geographic game. This is almost unavoidable, because there are a lot of people with dirty minds, unlike you and me. These excrescences on the face of our pure and bland society will come up with filthies like Sunapha Beach, the State of Nymphomania in which we find a mountain called Mons Pubis and a wood labelled Shewor Forest. Pay no attention to them. They'll suffer enough in the next world for contriving such monstrosi- ties as Taka Peak, Itsa Butte, Para Buttes and 1VIaka Pass. Oh, they'll suffer. But not as much as you'll suffer when your guests get into the swing of things, and start producing such items as Melon Coulee and Sherbet Shore. Perhaps what you should do is partition your guests into groups, give each group a geographical term, and see what happens. Thus, you might say to one group: "O.K., your topie is bays. Let's hear some bays." So you get such items as Hound-dog Bay, and Stagat Bay and Brought To Bay. To another group, you submit streams, and they supply such doozers as Uptha Creek, Niktha Creek and Sleau Burn. If there's an alcy in the crowd, he might suggest Live R. At the basis of this body of water is Font of Life, and running off from the main river are Minna Rills. In there somewhere you will find Compression Springs. Don't go away, it gets worse. In front of me I have a map, showing this unusual world, drawn by an excellent cartoonist who became involved. On that map is an island called Nomanison Island (the poet Donne). on which is a lighthouse called Gotta Light and a cape called Cape Waukin. All we need is a Bull- fighter's Cape. Someone drew cities, so that on the map we have Greater Kappa City and, in small print Lesser Kappa City. In these cities may be found such things as the Pubie Library, Brut Al Copse (a small wooded area,) and a narrow street labelled Gunman's Mall. On the'map is a kingdom called Kingdom of Kum (ruled by King Klimact Erie) and above that is a smaller adjunet called Higher In Kum, and below it another call Lower In Kum. Just off the State of Nymphomania lies Kumin Sea, in which are found a Fast Eddy and a Current of Ents. Then there are the great blank spaces on the map. One is entitled Ara Plain, and the other Just Deserts. And there are hills and mountains. We have Kitchen Range, Ovatha Hill and Duty Cols. Nor is mining, lef t out. There is an ancient mine, begun by the Incas, called Old Pala Mine. Another, Owtafya Mine. There are huge forests dubbed I Never Wood, and Yew Wood, and She Wood, and Hee Wood, and of course, the biggest of all, Y'all Wood. There are points, succinctly titled Getthe Point and Point A Forder. There are dangerous, dirty great rocks looming just off Dire Straits. They are fearsome to sailors, and no wonder. They are known as Acid Rock and Country Rock. There are a couple of sounds, one called Mersey Sound, another Safen Sound. There are a couple of depressions, or faults, in the map. One of these is Kronic Depression, the other is Itzer Fault. There are elevated coast lines. These are dubbed Base Cliffs, Treble Cliffs, and the High Coast of Living. Got the idea? Try it out. I guarantee you'll be ill in twenty minutes. But don't let them pawn off on you such junK as Generation Gap, Parr Gulf, and Cape Porn.
