Oat Wed StfL THE ERA DAVID HASKELL TERR CARTER a Walker Help cure arthritis One of the best buys for your charitable buck these days is being offered by the Newmarket Rotary Club The club in cooperation with other Rotary clubs across the nation is participating in the Canadian Rotary Olympathon a fundraising project for amateur sport in Canada But citizens of this part of York County are being offered an extra bonus for their dollar if they sponsor a teenage walker in the Olympathon They car help a worthy local project The Newmarket Crisis Centre stay open and their help will be in direct proportion to the amount their teenage walker earns for sports and it wont cost the sponsor an extra nickel It all started when an anonymous Port Credit business man put up for the crisis centre if Aurora-Newmarket- Bradford teenagers could earn for sport Newmarket Rotary president Milne decided if a Port Credit man do this for a worthy Newmarket area cause local busi nessmen could do the same Accordingly Mr Milne canvassed for donors His goal is at least for the crisis centre He needs support and so do the kids both on the sports field and at the crisis centre So help the kids to help themselves sponsor a walker the tools and Brave words of a famous will finish the job Sir Winston Churchill uttered in the dark days of early they find their echo today in another war the war to end arthritis the most costly and crippling of the ills of man Arthritis costs Canada untold millions every year a year in lost wages alone and an incalculable amount in spiritual costs broken homes lost opportunities and broken dreams But today the future is not entirely dark The disease is better understood and modern treatment can do much to ease pain and where medical help is sought early reduce or eliminate the worst crippling effects The Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society sponsors a research program carried on in laboratories and medical schools across the nation Recent developments give rise to the confident hope that the cause of the worst form rheumatoid arthritis will be found before long Once the cause is known a cure and the means of prevention will follow But research is costly That is why is cur rently asking for contributions in this and other communities That is the reason for this editorial Without money there can be no research without research arthritis will continue to cripple and maim Give them the tools and they will finish the job Friends appreciated the edi ts also the Interesting Scott Young mm Im not the indefatigable duckshooter that I once was but about this time of year cer tain things happen I see a few dozen ducks slo ping down into some water and I get a little bit here come the quacks Of i itch At home I check to make sure that I have a few shells and that the flap on my hunt ing coat still will come down and keep my seat dry in an emergency And the other night I just happened to mention to three friends the ones I always go hunting with When does the season open I knew of course and so did they Even mentioning the matter was to alert our wives Just so they wouldnt have some big job lined up for us on that Saturday when by all the laws of nature we had to be sitting in the bog getting cricks in our necks If a guy plays his cards right of course he can work an extra day off even before the opens I mentioned casually I wonder how those skids we used last year survived the winter into the 1958 Chev panel truck we use for such expeditions We had a canoe on top sandwiches and a cool beverage or two fencewire wire- arrangement with a man who owns a few acres of drowned trees away off the beaten track Its the kind of place that wood ducks mallards and teal love because you practically have to be a duck to get in there Two members of our group hauled wooden skids in there at great peril two ago over the stumps and rocks with the old truck and then perilously out by canoe to where they could be set on fallen trees and braced into some kind of a shooting platform But the skid that two of us used last year was shaky I have been on teetertotters that were more secure When you fire a shot and and halfdead trees algaefilled water hidden logs a few and a lot of ducks that took off as we snaked our way in to the shaky skid by canoe As in any such group plans arent discussed much I said I thought if we cut some posts we could drive them into the bottom at each corner of the skid then fasten the skid to the posts with fencewire It was my idea so I park ed my friends on the skid measured the depth with a paddle then took off with the axe in the canoe to cut posts to that length When I got back I straddled a log while my friend pounded in the stakes He did fine until he forgot that the main reason we were here at all was the of the skid He stepped back to admire his handi work The skid tipped He slid slowly down the slope and was into the water up to his waist before he could grab something and hang on Everything else was sliding off too He got the fencewire and the axe but the wire clippers made three things to grab and he had only two hands Plop They disappeared All this time he was looking at me with the funniest look as if he had expected something like this to happen all along I decided to be scientific The clip pers wont off right where you did I said We both knew the mud on the bottom was about a foot deep with about two feet of water over that He reached straight down into the water and pulled up the clippers It was triumph except that he had forgotten to take off his watch which immediately stopped Hut anyway he got the skid wired We stood on it It was no steadier than it hart been before but I didnt feel thai was the time mention it when he was wet to his waist and no longer had watch that would go Great I said Solid as Gibraltar And Hints where well be opening Then I colorful ad lor liquor Will not our boast ed civilization profit by the experience of

full freedom of opinion It does not always agree with that opinion quite frequently states this column some time ago the opinion that Rob would make good mayor and I will support him the polls Although I Have never met the young man I have been greatly im pressed with his performance as a councillor during the past two years He is young and he is a well edu cated young man After my column I wits with suggestion from some observers that Bob was radical temperamental sial and Inexperienced To the first three I say good That the kind of man who will get things done I immediately think of a couple of radical temperamental controver sial old characters called Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill As for inexperience I reply not necessary to have experience There is lots of good municipal ex perience on Newmarket council particularly among those opposing Hob for the mayoralty If he were to be elected and have their co operation his socalled inexperience wouldnt mean thing If he were to be denied such cooperation aim- ply because He was elected then the sincerity and usefulness of his op ponents would surely be in question Dear Sir I chaparoned a group on an outing recently We dined
