I Married The Klondike (cont) Mrs. Laura Berton said, She hardly knew where the Klondike was. This has often been the way with teachers. I had a girl friend a Miss M. Beamish who answered an ad "Teacher wanted at Ox-drift". They sent her a telegram of acceptance. acceptance. She Finally located Ox-drift in the Rainy River district but her father wouldn't hear tell of her going going there. He was the principal of a large city school. Laura Berton continues My father could only stare at me as if I had taken leave of my sanity "You in a rough mining camp?" he cried. "The whole scheme is absurd child." He was a freelance journalist journalist by profession and a Quaker. My religious sister, Maude preparing to be an , Anglican missionary missionary and my artistic sister Florrie who was just back from a year of painting in Paris both flung up their hands in horror, "All I can say is, I'm very sorry." Florrie kept repeating, shaking her head as she did so.-"The Wild West would be bad enough. But the uncultured Klondike-unspeakable!" My closest friend apd fellow teacher Winnie Ross was more practical., "Why not try it for a year and see how you like it?". That in the end was njy decision, decision, and 1 began t® spend the hot days of midsummer searching for ■ long winter underwear add heavy woollen clothing, collecting information information about fh'e mining camp and receiving advice from well-wishers. There was plenty of the latter: "Be sure and tell everyone on the coast boat that you're going to teach " "I understand the Alaska steamers are filled » with questionable women. One can't be . too careful...." "My dear, I would certainly wear a wedding ring. You'd find it a great, protection." The only dash of cold water on my. plans (other than tpy family) ■ came from Mrs. Harry, Ridley, an old acquaintance who had actually been in Dawson City, where her husband, a lawyer had practiced for several years. "Why on earth are you going to Dawson?" she wanted to know. "Why,- my dear, it's all over. They're all leaving. There's nothing there now." * ; If this intelligence was dispiriting her next remark was confusion. I had begun to tell her about my purchases purchases of woollens, whpn she brushed brushed me aside. "Have you got a good evening dress?" she asked me. The mptly produced a wardrobe full of Paris creations which she said she'd brought back from Dawson with her. "That's the sort of thing you'll need up there!" she told me. Later I was to wish I had followed her advice. advice. The evening before I left my father read aloud selections from Shakespeare and then recited Walt Whitman's "Pioneers, O Pioneers" which we all felt neatly fitted the oc- . casion. I took a long look around the familiar parlour, lined with rows of books for 1 felt--rightly as it turned out-that I would see very little little of this room or of my family in the years to come.

Last week a challenge went out in downtown Orono from the East-side business people to those on the west side to participate on Wednesday, May 28th in a soccer game as part of the Town of Newcastle challenge day with other municipalities. There is little doubt however that the Eàst-side rowdies would like to put it to the west-side kids even in a game of soccer. Neither side are about to give in the challenge and the date, time and place were set. The rule book however is to be discarded. Its Wednesday, 1:00 p.m.'on Park Street between Church and Main Street. *• The time and date are fine but,the running around ta get clearance to hold the contest on Park Street means a trip to Hampton for a Public Works permit, a further trip to the Regional Police and then of course the Fire Department all for a fifteen minute closure which we doubt the rowdies'will be able to hold out for anyways. > What happened to the goodbid days when you just closed off. the street, period. , , Scouting jamboree at Forest' Centre perience of socializing with others from the district,and theU.S. Close to -two hundred were in attendance attendance at the rally.

It certainly appeared that students support in the audiences at both events were above the norm and there was much enjoyment in this attendance and support for those entertaining on stage. Both events displayed ability and discipline on the part of the performing students as well and attendance in these events was rewarding. It all augers well for the school, its staff and students: Can't go on forever It is time to bring a halt to the isstite of extra billing by doctors for the negotiations have gone on long enough. If the government is serious in its plan to ban extra billing it is time it did so rather than prolonging what appears to be an irreversible stand on the part of both parties. A week ago we received a letter to the editor from â Renfrew doctor stating that the passing of the bill will mean a lowering of the quality of medical care because health care will become totally government controlled. The writer further stated that the level of investigation investigation of disease and care will be what government can afford which will vary from government to government and minister to minister. He further claims that the public will not be free to obtain the most recent advances in medicine. He states physicians will have lost control and will have to struggle with a tangle of bureaucracy. We would contend that under the system of government con- ' trol which exists today and has existed for many years the public have benefited and will continue to do so. It is the government and the poublic through their financial support that has provided the modern technology for health care. It is government and again the general public that has provided the funding for research which usé by the doctors has bettered the health care system in this country. The Renfrew doctor claims the passing of the legislative bill will eventually bring into effect clinics replacing the present doctor- patient relationship. Is not the emergency wards in hospitals a form of clinic whereby the public seek care in increaseing numbers due to a reduction under the present system of declining doctor office hours. It certainly appears there is to be no negotiated end to the stalemate and it is actually a matter of there is or there isn't extra billing. billing. " . . The end of the, road has been reached and its now up to the government to take thé move to end the debate. ORONO, ONTARIO 983*5009
