X \ \ And the bugler slept through 'ta ps # 'by Roy Forrester Well not quite . but he might as well. ; It just so happened that thé bugler had settled in for a weekend of recreation mingled mingled with some obligations as to his own business and some relating to the community at large. The recreation aspect of the weekend appears to have been overdone with the result that a numbing of mind and body was more than evident and played havoc with late Sunday appointments.. Certainly there was a loss of logic in physical constraints constraints by the bugler through Saturday evening and Sunday morning which did havé its effect Sunday afternoon and early evening. It all started with the, benefit dance spohsored by the Life-Line organization at Curvply and Plydesigns and" held in the beautiful community community room fo the Ororio Arena. There was a good crowd in attendance but still , plenty of room for dancing. The keynote for the evening came with the music, some dating back to the 40s and 50s and even when it did come to disco the beat was good and most danceable. The bugler apparently tossed caution to the four winds and extended his physical conditions beyond beyond their capabilities. This however was not evident at the time and the music stopped all too soon, or so it was thought. It was a gay evening, lots of friends and lots of dancing. Sunday morning, 9:00 o'clock, was not far behind for the bugler and although mentally the dance was an enjoyable happening of the past, physically even the ankles were complaining as we set out for the usual Sunday morning hike in the Ganaraska Forest with Bill Bunting, Sid Rutherford, Klaas Schoenmaker and Ken Stainton. The, weekly Sunday morning morning three-hour hike in the forst has been ongoing for the past two years reverting to skiing in the winter. It has become almost a ritual for the group and the bugler would not in any way hint at physical deficiencies or mental mental lapses. This was certainly the case last Sunday even when the group deviated from their regular hikes of following following valleys and ridges in the north-west, south-east directions. directions. Usually one can be assured of time out while Bunting, Rutherford, or Schoenmaker call upon the expertise of the other to identify a certain plant, tree or bird, or even look up in one of some half dozen books they carry. Truly it is an education in itself as to the outdoors on these walks but now with most plants quickly disappearing and the leaves from the trees and the birds down south the group accept other challenges. This was to be the case last Sunday and to which the biigler quickly agreed not wanting to bear the brunt of caustic remarks from his fellow hikers as to this physical stamina. Some weeks ago Stainton had taken the group to an old logging trail in the middle of the forest that had been passed by hundreds of times by the , group as it was not shown on any map or was it visible from any roadway. On Sunday it was back to the trail to further investigate some of the valleys and ridges. But upon reaching the midway point of the trail it was all of a sudden decided to leave the trail and cross the bush on a compass course to a predetermined predetermined point on one of the north-south side roads. Of course, out came compasses, topographical maps, paper and pencil. This course was set at 300 degrees and a distance of 800 double paces. The bugler was quick to realize that the course meant crossing the ridges and valleys valleys at right angles. There were hills to climb, gulleys to cross, thickets to penetrate and fallen trees to tumble over. Not exactly a Sunday morning walk. Well it finally ended some three-quarters of a mile off target due to a bungling, over what the bugler was told, the misunderstanding of true north and magnetic north. After a hearty dinner the recreation aspect of the week-end continued with a short siesta prior to being awakened at two o'clock to take pictures at the rededication rededication of the cenotaph at Newtonville. This extended to a drive to the mothballed Wesleyville Generating Station, through Port Hope and back through the countryside countryside of Hope Township coming coming upon a ppnd west of Canton with at least some one hundred Canada geese making making themselves at home. It was finally back home and with the dog and chickens fed and the plants in the greenhouse watered it was time to dust off the bugle for the evening service at the Orono Cenotaph. Of course it also meant a few limbering up exercises for the lip and from a comment upstairs, "I hope you play better tonight", it meant one more time to brush up the Last Post. Back to a horizontal position position following supper and a message to be awakened at seven if sleep resulted. The message was received and off to .perform the last duty of Our latest order of Canadiana Sayelle and Astra wool has arrived.

It never happened and the oglibation was not fulfilled by the bugler. The service was at seven, not seven-thirty. The bugler extends his apologies to Sterling and his veteran friends and those who were in attendance at the service. Unfortunately the clock cannot be turned back. Johnny James commented, "Forrester, you really blew it . . . literally."

Earlier works of this artist are, on exhibit in the current Painters Painters Eleven in Retrospect Letter to Editor I've been watching the news and reading the papers about the Iranian students holding 65 hostages in the. American Embassy. The Americans have enough to worry about with the hostages now they have Iranian students students demonstrating in U.C. . cities. I think that the government should send the students back to Iran where they belong. Why are they even here if they're protesting protesting the country? I think that the baggage handlers at Kennedy airport had every right to refuse to unload the Iranian plane because if Americans are not Wanted in Iran then why should Iranians be wanted in the U.S. • I also think that the Americans had a right to be angry when the Iranians burned the American flag. The way I see it the Americans should trade the < Shah for the hostages in a diplomatic fashion.
