Nope, I didn't win a million in a lottery. And no, the Arabs haven't cut the price of oil in half. The Russians didn't get out of Afghanistan and the Ayatolla hasn't let the American embassy hostages go home. But who cares about those things. The big news last week was that good ol' J.R. is alive. Yep. Thai's right folks. J.R. Ewing will be back this fall on that prime time soap opera Dallas, which is just about the hottest thing on TV since the invention of the cathode tube. In the final episode of Dallas before the summer re-runs, J.R. was shot in the belly by an unidentified gunman (woman) and in the interim, newspapers, maga- zines and the T.V. Guide have been filled with articles speculating on who shot J.R. and whether American's best-loved TV villain had really bitten the Dallas dust. J.R., of course (played by actor Larry Hagman) has become almost a cult figure as a result of his role in the series. He is the most despicable, under-handed, lying, coniving, thieving, double-crossing, womanizing character ever to hit the TV screen. And audiences around the world just love to hate him. In short, J.R. is hot, and the studio has been making the most of it this summer. In Britain, where the series draws more viewers than the soccer matches, a newspaper ran a contest asking its readers to guess who shot J.R. And the winner will receive a free trip to Dallas (where else?) Over the past year, just about every character in the Dallas series was given at least one good reason for wanting J.R. blown away, including his mother, father, wife, brother, sister-in-law, business partners, niece and even the hired hand who works on the lavish Ewing ranch just outside Dallas where the family fortune in oil and cattle is made. Actually, there was little doubt that J.R. was really shot dead. I mean, the program would just about collapse without him, as millions of breathless viewers wait in front of their TV sets each week to see what kind of devilish tricks he has up his sleeve, and who will be the next one he takes to the cleaners. Why Hagman himself would protest loudly if he was shot dead and out of the series. He's reported to be asking for $100,000 an episode for the coming season, and what with endorsements and public appearances, his role in Dallas is going to make him almost as rich as J.R. Quite frankly, it has all been marvellous hype. The series itself is pure escapism spiced with big oil money, fortunes won and lost, family feuds, and more than subtle sexual over-tones. The studio says the first episode for the new season is due to be aired on September 19. I'm afraid that the programs on the other stations will be pretty well passed over that evening. It's great fun in the summer. And why not. North American' TV viewers have always needed somebody to carry on a love-hate relationship with. And with Ronald Reagan squaring off against Jimmy Carter in the November presidential elections, Americans can scarcely be blamed if they look to the boob tube for a little "take-me-away-from-all-this." Like I said, the big news this summer is that J.R. is alive. Now, if we only knew just who fired those two shots......Guess we'll just have to wait until September 19 to find out for sure. KILLING ANIMALS (SAD) Poor Gino Ferri. He's an elementary school teacher in Toronto. And one evening each week, he's been teaching an extension course at Humber College in wilderness survival. Part of the course is how to kill, clean and skin a wild animal or bird, a skill which to my way of thinking might be rather useful for someone lost in the Canadian wilderness. And Mr. Ferri uses real live chickens and rabbits to demonstrate the proper killing techniques to his college students. But, as might be expected, he's under fire from animal lovers who are up on their hind legs in protest over this aspect of the course. The president of the Society for Animals in Distress (SAD) has even written a letter to Humber College deploring the fact that live animals are used in the course. As anyone who has ever been lost in the Canadian wilderness knows, the difference between life and death can often be a fine line. Knowledge of just a few survival skills is essential: such things as how to light a fire in a rain-storm; which wild plants are edible; how to use your boot straps to snare a rabbit; and of course how to kill, clean and cook the rabbit after you've snared it. I believe, wilderness survival courses should be mandatory for anyone going into the Canadian bush for any length of time. As one who has spent a fair amount of time tramping by John B.

In an article on French Immersion in last week's paper it was stated the Durham Board of Edu- cation voted to withdraw the resolution referring to the establishment of a French Immersion program in Scugog this fall. However, the reason for withdrawing this motion was not clearly explained. Of the three resolutions passed by the trustees dealing generally with the French program in the region, the third resolu- tion states that "other communitites be given the opportunity to benefit from the early French immersion program, if and when such communities can provide viable units of instruction." The interest in French in Scugog had indeed been indicated with a presentation of a brief to the Board's Program and Curriculum Committee, June 16, by the Scugog Parents for French Immersion. Therefore, the motion dealing with Scugog specifically was redundant and not necessary and was withdrawn. The other resolutions stated that "the early French Immersion program be accepted as an integral part of the educational programs offered by the Durham Board of Education, as a valid alternative to the McClelland regular program, causing no dislocation of present staff or programs at a school and that the immersion program be continued to the end of Grade 8. With the passing of these three resolutions, French Immersion is very much alive. The Board of Education will be following up on the interest shown in Scugog and will be contact- ing all parents of Kindergar- ten students detailing the possibilities of setting up a class in the area for 1980-81. In the report on the Early French Immersion Program in Durham, the French consultant, Mr. Casey Daleman, concluded 'the positive results of the evaluation of the Grade 2 (the highest grade presently in Durham) immersion program demonstrate that not only does the children's basic education not suffer, but they acquire in addition, effortlessly it would seem, a complete and workable competence in a second language, which should by most standards be consider- ed a valuable asset." We urge all parents to consider the challenge and enrichment that French Immersion can offer their children. Yours sincerely, Joanne Fowler Scugog Parents for French Immersion around the forests of northeastern Ontario, I know how easy it is to get lost, and with a little knowledge and common sense how easy it is to survive almost indefinitely until help arrives. But here's a guy in Toronto, who is teaching people how to stay alive, and what happens. He is getting it in the neck from the animal do-gooders who care more about the flora and fauna than they do about human beings. By the way, the chickens and rabbits used in the Humber College course were on their way to market, anyway. And the killing methods used cause death instantly. So, what's all the fuss about, anyway? I wonder what the SAD people would do if they found themselves lost in the bush. Would they just pat the little rabbit on the head and take a chance on starving to death? Not likely. 8 port perry star ) Company Limited Phone 985-7383 (sca DUR) : RA 9 rar V0 ™ 'sr, Ww or Serving the Township of Scugog J.PETER HVIDSTEN Publisher Advertising Manager J.B.
