elm grove encircling Devon Abbey in Norhury tall handsome graying mam and his close friend William Kinsey strode silently through the grove and across the opening to the steps of the Abbey Stopping at the loot oftha steps lan turned to Will grasp ed his hand and said lhank you for being such iaithtul friend No other men cloaked and dork approached the trout par tals Here too one of the men carried small heavy box It should not be successful here wish you to have these can offer you pistols war they areall that snid lan 111 he took piece of parchment paper out of the box and inscriblt ed hurried

Ya the pistols were indeed fine or Ian had defended his honor many times with these arms which were tailored with loving care by will and John Rigby of Dublin But the fates were not with inn that day The two men stood back to back holding their guns high Slowly deliberately they march ed at 10 paces turned took Writers Callers Rap Examiner City Last week Examiner City Editor Barry Conn Hughes in lighter vcin criticized wait resses in his Saturday Page column Nobody thought it was fun ny rcporLs writer Hughes Now hes in full retreat from barrage of giba in restaurants letters and many mous phone calls and reduced to spooning beans out of can at home Barrie waitresses seem to have omitted the grain of salt which should have been taken with that particular order says Hughes Seriously after eating out regularly for 10 years do appreciate the many fine qual ities of waitrases Most of them are as said in the cob umn charming and gondlook ing gals If they werent would have starved to death in lonely misery years ago Following are samples of the mail the city editor has been receiving lately Unsigned let ters are not published JUVENILE Jacksons Grill Dear Sir In reply to the juvenile com ments of Barry Affectation Hughes perhaps it is his luke warm personality which falls to strike satisfactory re sponse from us waitresses How can mnmbiyvoiced person define what is earshot and what not Earshot for Mr Hughes teteatete dis tance for anyone else if he must get cheap laugh from sneering at other people it shows him as small man With noreference to his lack of inches which is what has probably warped his attitude to the other 17 million people who have the nerve toshare this country with him Mrs Yvonne Bradshaw Mrs Shirley Beebe Mrs Dorothy Napper Mrs lihordanson IGNDRANT Dear Editor Barry Hughes seems to judge all waitresses by the ac tions of one if all the people of Barrie were to take him as an example of all writers dont ohink they would sell many papers He must be very ignorant person to write that article in the paperl wish he would try being waiter forjust few hours Hed change his opinion fast Ed Note Hughes earn ed spending money by waiting on table at school in Belleville daily for two years Ihink waitresses work very hard and they have to put up with an awful lot of dirt from customers Its people like this Barry character who are the hardest on waitresses Zita 77Barrie waitress Dear Sir After reading your article in the paper on January 16 re garding bank clerks and wait rcsses am inclined to think you must spend all your time in banks or in restaurants would suggest that you start looking around little Look up right now and you will see the type of person that you called waitress You see Barry these kind of people are all around us and they dont necessarily have to he wait ress will admit that you can find this type of waitress but they are in minority Second to no other occupa tion waitresses are patient tol erant pleasant respectful careful cheery happy last neat busy speedy intelligent and down right nice The rub is that most of them put up with more insults complaints and criticisms from people than should be expected from human being The vast majority of the waitresses that have known it askedan intelligent question will give an intelligent answer If you or anyone else finds an excep tion to this case you would he doing favor for everybody by discussing it with the owner or manager Proprietors like to hear the customers view poian It gives him better picture of the problem and chance to correct it Waitresses have to not only pleawthe customer but also the manager the cook and her fellow waitresses so let us look at her side of the story for minute The waitress enjoys meeting the public she enjoys giving her hat service and she enjoys the people she works with For some unknown reason waitress is undarated and everyone gets the idea that she is waitress because she cant do ing else This is not true There are very few people who possas the qual ities to he waitress because it is an art How many moth ers have forgotten to put the sugaron the table at home some nights yet they are not condemned for it but if it was waitress she would be Why Do you realize that waitress does the jobs of manufac turer wholesaler and retailer She is her ownjanitor and cleaning woman Her own bookkeeper stock taker and her own supplier and she does all these jobs on her feet In lot of cases she is housewife and mother in her spare time waitress in day does as much physical exercise as football player She walks six or mor miles per day and she has as uch tension on her as doctor performing an opera tion The next time you are in restaurant and faellike saying iAhenL M15513 dont because Editor to the waitress this is Hey You Now ask you to look around you again those peo ple you see may he your best friend Could they measan in to be waitress doubt Ed McAnthur SARCASTIC Dear Sir You mentioned waitresses were rude Possibly it is be cause of the way they are treat ed by their customers The majority of customers arent too hard to please But the sarcastic ignorant people like Barry Hughes are the ones that make it hard for the girls There are many people resses are the lowest degraded type of girl there is and they think it is very low type of job happen to know many girls who are waitressfi is my parents have been in the res taurant business for many years and these girls are some of the nicest wellman nered people know They are hardworking girls and have to put up with lot Smarlen up and quit living in makehe1ieve world Waitresses are not as you say another breed but they are everyday human people some thing which think you arent Karen Waitress nor CANDIDATE Governor

happened to the world power picture since through two disastrous world wars Examiner city latter we earned peace in our timel Toward the end of World War II the Western allies concentrated on winning the warto the detrimental winning the peace In the east this resulted in the Communists being left free to move into Manchnrla and Korea and in the illconsid ered decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and win lasting enmity in Asia In continental Europe the Western allies apparently failed to see that disposition of ground forces during the hostilities would determine spheres of influence after one war Or at least they failed to see the implications visavis Russia and communist expansion DIVIDDIG THE SPOILS So after the war Russian armies occupied Eastern Europe as far west as the Elbe River The American British and French armies held the rest of Germany most of Austria and all or It Meanwhile Communist influence was rapidly being spread Nineteen fortyseven was good year for Communismthe Communist Party seized power in HungaryBulgarla Rumanla and Poland The Soviets solidified the Communist bloc Twentythree bilateral treaties were signed be men 1945 arid 1948 with the USSR Counteracting the Americans poured huge grants into Europe urging free and Europewide internal market so EuropEans could obtain ohe ad vantageof mass production and decreasing hosts REAEMAMENT They backed the Western European Union of 1948 which foreshadowed the North Atlantic Pact oi 19in when one Us agreed to old the rearmament or Europe and guaranteed Western Europe against invasion The Soviets did the same for the Warsaw Pact countries Btckenlngs wiohin NATO the obvious fact that Germany would domdnate any European federa tion argue against that eventuality Format great powersllke Britain and France hold only shadows of their former influence That leaves the only two powers in the world of any great strengththe Soviet Union and the United states and their respective blocs What does that mean for us French author Henri Nlassls avers that the formationof two hostile blocs caught up race can have no other which will settle nothing at It means that we in the lpated in the rape or Europe BIGTm PAYOLA in an unremitting arms result thana total war West have also partic It means that knowing who our only ad versary can be we have abandoned diplomatic del icacy We as much as the Soviet Union have set out to buy the souls of the uncommitted nations with propaganda and bigtime payola Itmeans that we like the Communists are strutting about the world proclaiming that we are all right and they are all wrong We are adding fuel to the tire and hastening the cataclysm In world where every individual will be in volved in war it seems to me every individual should therefore hear an increasing responsibility toward pence worldwide referendum by score What pity We cant organize ballot in which every individual could cast vote for peace Ind complete disarmament But at least as individuals we can admit to ourinner selves just what we are doing and in what direction we are heading Perhaps inn democracy it might mean acme thing before we end upwaltlng on the beach Satuulay lavage THE MUSIC CORNER By FRANCES WIISON Barrie With coming 1t the atomic age penetrating look is being taken or education throughout the American con tinent Comparisons are being nude in newspapers mag nines and boots between our Canadian systems and that us ed in Russia an apparently more productive one Let us take languages and music as examplu when time Aroutunian was ln Barrie last fall and her hus band the linsian Ambassador to Canada spoke to the Can adian Club she wasablc to lpeakbfifll French and Eng llsh Russian and several other languages She is scientist in her own right Perhaps Mme Aroutunian is an exceptionalrpelson but wonder how manywives of Barrie business or prolessionnl men could converse in Wench in Quebec City should their husbands be sent there on bus From articles published here it is understood that in Ru if child shows an aptitude for languages or mnslc at an early age he or she is segregated from his classmates to studywith other children showing similar apt itudes not neglecting other subjects but more intensively pursuing and specializing to cxploita natural talent and in terwt By thetime these slud cntsare in the upper grades it is pmible to have trained body of fine musicians or competent linguists This sys tem is used even in the smaller Rusian urban areas CONFORMITY In Canada the educational emphasis is on adjustment to conformity and integration in society not on the nurture of the intellect one could question the limo taken in Ontario to complete course of study achieved in other parts of Canada in 12 rather than 13 years Some of the more advanced schools on the primary level in Ontario have introduced various methods of tcaching French one of Canadas two ofifi at languages With travel becoming so last and comparatively cheap making trips abroad and throughout this continent of destrian occurrence it is nrd to understand how there could be so much osition from parents and schooboards to learning French basic tool of understanding the traditions and culture and indeed the total approach of the French people to our common national Perhaps here As Dr Wilder Penlield bu pointed out the time to learn language other than that Spoken at home is when the mind is unpreludiced imma lure and receptive PARENTS CHOOSE Parents are beginning to ask whether results are being rea lized in the field of education and it seems to an that par ents should have the oppor tunity to choose of course with advice from teachers and principals the formal subjects thcir children should Lake even at the public school level It is not an impossibility to have French convemtion and discussion taught by French speaking Canadian born and walleducated in Quebec nor dots it seem an impossibility to have music taugxt by com petent musicians rather than teacher trained in teaching fundamentals though not in terested in music or even pro fessing to know much about the musical its rhythm melody and harmony to ray nothing about form history eurythmics orchestration or tone production or any other of the many adjuncts While it is inadvisable to specialize in the schools to the extent that surplus of this trated artisLs is produced basic selective training could be means of creating an in formed audience which eager ly seeks live entertainment It is true that at the present time there is little opportunity in Canada to use such spe cialized talent but is it not also true that through adver tising and keeping product before the eyes of the public it is not too long before market is orcated Take for instance the automatic wash ingmachine and dishwashers or electric canopeners or tel evision sets to plot the sharp rise sales during the last decade Similarly through ed ucation greater satisfaction can be had to listening to music EXCITING PROCESS it is our given duty to de velop our minds and to arm tinue the exciting process of learning forever Canadians must recognize that talent in an form must be utilized it Can da is to take herI rightful place in world affairs To again take music as an example it is my recollection that several Canadian artists of international stature made appearances during their form ative years at recitals in Bar rie within the last decade Through our lack of know ledge and judgment they some noun DOG man The nebulous Fahian is the star of the
