The fish was still full of eggs. When the officers returned to the road to search the poacher's car, they found a loaded semi-automatic 22 calibre rifle and on the floor of the back seat they discovered a ruffed grouse which had been shot. Both men were charged with possession of the grouse and one man who admitted owning the rifle was charged with having a loaded firearm in a vehicle. . ; Recently in court they were tound guilty on all four charges and were fined a total of $125.00 plus costs. ~The Ideal Secretary "Definitions of the ideal secretary are legion, but some executives may think she has never been better summed up than in a recent management newsletter, to wit: : She should be young enough to start at the lowest salary, but near enough to retirement age that no office will try to take her away. : She should be able to spell the words | use but no those of anyone else. : She should be efficient enough so that she does my work perfectly, but backward enough not to be able to do good work for'anyone else. wl She should be attractive and cheerful enough to | a brighten up the office -- but not so much that someone 25% will come along and marry her. a She should be sensible enough to use good judgement 45 in all -her duties, but foolish enough so that -- if she Ly does marry. -- she chooses a man she has to support and 74 therefore stays on the job. 3) After which it only remains to ask: Does such a para- A 7! gon exist? 7 - Bas rad #4 PORT PERRY STAR Kh COMPANY, LIMITED 3g! on oa Serving Port Perry, Brooklin and Surrounding Area 3."

Just when my wife and I get -everything squared around, and look forward to a period of doddering about in peace, some- body throws the overalls in the chowder and we have to fish them out. Usually, it's one of our kids. Sometimes, old or new friends. little of both. First of; all, Kim arrived home Friday night with a car-load of friends. They'd come for a Fireside. I'm sure you know as much about Firesides as I do. They have nothing to do with tires. She and many of her friends have be- come Ba-hais. It sounds like something out of the musical South Pacific, but it isn't. o A cynical colleague of mine asked: "Is it one of those Indian religions that jus- tify sitting around on your rump and do- ing nothing?" I don't think it is. It's something new that came out of the Middle East about a century ago. com- plete with prophet, and has grown, quiet. Iv but steadily. A Fireside is a meeting of Ba-hais and those interested in learning about it. Peo- ple of all ages and faiths and colors sit around quietly at somebody's home, listen to those who have "declared" themselves, pray together and meditate. There are no churches, taxes, and all the ills that plague the modern church institution. It has great appeal for the idealistic voung, because it contains the best and the essence of the world's great religions: Love for God, neighbor and self: gentle. ness; honesty; abstinence. It seems to have no political or racial overtones. No good Bai-hai will touch drugs or al- cohol. Though I" notice they all smoke like fiends, and never have any cigarettes of their own. Anyway, here came Kim with her friends, all set for a Fireside. . Her mo- ther had been at one the week before, and though a staunch Anglican, was im: pressed. She agreed to go again. I could ses the pincers closing in '(I'd been away fishing the week before.) To my relief, a young fellow from another world dropped in at the crucial moment. Davie Lodge, leader of Major Hoople's Boarders, just to tell us his rock group was playing that night at the local arena. We've known him since he couldn't blow his own nose. Mv wife went to the Fireside. 'I went "to hear the Major and the bedlam. We both arrived home slightly dazed, I slight. Sugar and Spice This time it was a lv deaf. The Ba-hais had gone back to their lairs in the city, but the Hooples came home with me for a cold drink. with their girl singer, Gail, the tiniest girl with the biggest voice on either side of the Rockies. Tt wa-~ interesting. Two completely dif- ferent groups of young people, about the same age. One flat broke, spreading the gospel, talking about establishing a com- rune in the country. The other flat out, with thousands of dollars of equipment, hurtling from one engagement to the next, in their own expensive rolling commune. A'l of them bright and polite. The generation gap that night didn't seem as wide as the caste system among people themselves. There was no con- frontation, but the two groups had less in common than we middle-aged yahoos had with either of them. } And think of all the other castes: the yippies, the greasers, the straight kids, the freak-outs and a dozen others. But to get back to my point, If possible. The 'up-shot is that we are committed to having a Ba-hal wedding in our backyard in October. The bride's mother can't afford a wedding reception. .. The groom's mother offered to have it at her place If all the blinds were drawn. Anybody who wants to get married out- side in October needs a pretty strong faith. TI suppose they could roll in the leaves in some symbolic ritual. But the moment of truth came when 't"a prospective groom informed us joy- ously that a rock group had agreed to nlay at the wedding. I've heard them. Clearly. . From three blocks away. I have a feeling I'm going to put my foot down.
