parties should take a second look regardless of which one makes uie grade on sept 18 is that whichlowered the legal drinking age from 21 to 18 the effect which is now alarming many people and rightly so is the increase in drinking of a still younger age group 15 to 17 traffic accidents involving liquor in this lower age bracket have increased dramatically since the law was changed it is much more difficult to visually tell the dif ference between a 16yearold and an 18-year- old now than it was thirty or forty years ago it becomes fairly easy for a youngster of 16 or even younger to pose as 18 and get liquor some states in the us have already seen the folly of the change and are already preparing to restore the old age limit some consideration of a similar move should be on the agenda for the next incoming government of ontario this- change is only one more point at which the permissiveness of the day has gone too far we have come full circle in slackening the restrictions in numerous fields society is becoming alarmed and steps should be taken to begin the road back on the question of liquor the increasing death and injury to the young and motorists at large should be enough to stir any government to action jbiien- the sad remains of this sailboat pose some questions as to how such a craft could find its way to a farm near ballantrae one could speculate on where she has

deserves more use n sugar and spige z v the pickering museum in brougham was in the limelight last weekend as the annual history in action festival was held in cluded there was the demonstration of a wide variety of pioneer farm craft and household techniques as well as home baking sausage and souvenirs enhancing the event was the fine collection of buildings and antique articles at the museum the site includes 15 buildings 14 of them moved from elsewhere and a large and varied collection of tools equip ment clothing and countless other items from bygone eras the potential for the museum appears to be great indeed at the moment the town of pickering is negotiating for land in greenwood to be used for a museum site since the present one falls under the airport zone at the new location one proposal calls forrunning the institution as a living museum with various machines and crafts demonstrated daily at- the present location-a- visit to the museum remains a bargainl for adults and

posted speed it is to be hoped this will eliminate needless tragedies but thereis one way school bus drivers could improve the situation every morning and afternoon there are long lines of traffic trapped behind these very slow moving vehicles sometimes there are as many as20 or 30 cars and trucks forced to stop x at every second or third farm lane our suggestion is that the bus drivers after making sure their charges have safely embarked or- disembarked turn off their signalsand let the faster moving traffic pass that is if there is enough room to safely permit this thiswould not only be common courtesy but we feel would make for a much safer 7 situation as it now stands there are long lines of frustrated drivers jockeying for an op portunity to pass these dawdling vehicles there are a few bus drivers who now follow this policy and it is greatly appreciated but the majority of them dont bother other slow moving vehicles which hold up traffic are expected to follow this policy and we dont- see why school busesj should be exempted v 7 in bur opinion the hazards are greatly reduced wherithereisnotaldngilineof frustrated drivers many of them commuters t who face lbngjdaily

happens the newspaper has to forego the most toothsome bit of news because its publication would hurt the feelings pf- someone and because we do not wish to hurt folks in this way we just have to forget some things however on saturday afternoon toward evening and when main street was not very crowded a funny incident to us but not to anyone wearing store molars was wit nessed just around the corner on mill street a citizen who does not live far away was pushing up the street against a strong head wind when suddenly he sneezed coughed or something and away flew his upper or was it lower deck of molars which floated off like a cork to make matters worse the victim had his arms filled with parcels and the breeze was getting the better of his hat which finally broke from his worried brow and soon passed the teeth in the roll down the sidewalk the molars struck the pavement but they didnt fly into a dozen pieces as you may think instead the masticators bounced along and came to rest against the telephone post on examination the dentists product was found to be uninjured and so glad to have them back was the owner that we noticed they were jaced fright back in- his jawwithout

whom we are in debted for- this udbit of news i wonder what the poor people are doing today murmured my fishing mate as we lay back on a bed of moss our bellies stuffed with fried fillet of pickerel looked up at a huge blue sky arid lit a cigarette we had just finished a shore dinner prepared by our guide and had nothing in the world to do but have a little rest and go back and catch some more fish no wives nattering children squabbling telephone ringing tires squealing newspapers blatting headlines j no decisions to make disputes to handle compromises to make people to get sorted out problems to solve it may not- be paradise but northern saskatchewan makes a pretty fair ap proximation to it if you like fishing and clean air and a complete lack of tension noise and pollution r v some of the weekly newspaper people had elected to go on a fishing tripsin someof the v best fishing country in thewoflct it was like asking a boozer to go on a winemastirig tripi- through southern france w we were guests of the saskatchewan department of tourism and renewable resources quite a mouthful and fine hosts they were they supplied transportation accommodation boats and guides all we had to buy was our food s dont ever tell me again that saskat chewan means endless miles of prairie more than half the province makes up some of the most striding wilderness in canada thousands of square miles of lakes and forest and theyre not just bragging about that- fishing i had read of it and seen some of it on television its real time and again youll see two or eventhree people in one boat all with a fish on the line some of the fish from ontario were literally hysterical afterhalf a days fishing it begins like this the guide takes you out to a spot and you troll slowly in five minutes youve caught a pike that would have delighted you back home better thrbwit back let him grow up mutters the guide laconically you are ready tbclutchthat fourpound pike to your breast andcry tearfully nobodys gonna get this i- baby awayfrom me too late the guide has unhooked thefish and let it swim away in the next 10 minutes youve thrown backfoiir about the same size suddenly your fishing partner ties into a good one and with a lot of reelscreeching and general excitement he lands one about nine pounds yeah well keep dat one hes not bad says the guide gloomily and so on same with pickerel if you hit a hot spot you can fill up that is catch your quota for the day in half an hour quotas are generous and there are no fewer- than 12 species of game fish in the province so much for the fishing its so good that a fouryearold chimpanzee or an 84 yearold senile grandmother could catch fish i know i caught one over nine pounds he was only seven when we netted him but hes been growing steadily since aside from the fishing there is the magnificent feeling of being away from it all miles and miles and miles of clean water and thousands of acres of bush and little old you right in the middle of it most of the northern lakes have only aiew outfitters located on themand the govern- ment to cheers from me is hot leasing more shore property- without government in tervention i can see these beautiful lonely lakes ravaged by motorboats ringed with cottages and soggy with pollution in a very few years with 20odd assorted bodies men women and children and a most congenial group we were i was dropped offafter a bonerattling sevenhour bus ride at jan lake we were all pretty pooped and i hit- the jackpot it was my first experience of that renowned western- hospitality my hostess mrs jean martin showed me to a fine modern log cabin completely outfitted with everything including indoor waterworks and sleeping room for eight i had it all to myself it was like walking deep into the jungle and being shown to a room at the ritz the martins couldnt do enough for me they dont serve food at their camp you cook your own but insisted i eat all my meals with them and refused any payment garnet the husband and bernard no 1 son fixed me up with a cap a jacket a fishrod and tackle and mrs martin insisted on making a shore dinner for me highlight of my whole trip perhaps was an hours flight over the area at fairly low level with bernard martin at the controls he flies an ancient but sturdy aeronca and it was my first flight in a small light aircraft for many a year my wife would have had a stroke if shed seen her old boy climb into that it was quite a thrilling flight with a view omakes and islands as far as you could see it was made even more exciting by the fact that i had no parachute there was only one engine there was no place to land if the motor conked except on a lake and we had no pontoons i one other circumstance made the whole trip a good one my fishing companion was barry wenger of wingham a friend of 25 years it was just by accident we were thrown together but i was glad theres nothing quite so harrowing as spending two days in a boat with someone who gets on your nerves barrie and i had a great time talking about our grandchildren and agreeing that we get bigger fish than this back on the bruce peninsula v world

shown in this photo f don bernard byted wilcox- a lot of attention was focused on the subject- of food last year as tremendous v famines descended on nigeriabangla desh and elsewhere for a while it was given pretty thorough coverage in tv and newspaper reports we all took some passing notice of it maybe paused to comment on it as we listened to the news at lunchtime then continued on with our t meal half the world hungry doesnt cause much excitement in us i confess that im among the number who have become almost totally innured to the plight of literally millions of suffering people i am- getting a v feeling that people generally are beginning to feel colder and colder about this kind of statement eighty percent of those children under five years old in rural india arehow suffering from a kind of dwarfism and india has atotal of 280 million children under 15 eighty percent of whom are malnourished so what what do you expect me to i do about it ive got enough problems of my own- are all common reactions more sophisticated replies include things like why dont those countries improve their own agricultural techniques or there is no way to economically ship grain from here to those places where its needed another viewpoint that gained popularity this year is what is known as the life boat theory ted engstromof world vision in ternational describes it like this a pattern of thought which suggests that the affluent west just really cant afford to overload its life boat a craft filled with useful- important people and their material blessings if the strugglers in the water all climb into the life boat we will all perish mr engstrom in a vanguard magazine article went on to say thatthe problem is not with technology but- with the amount of compassion individuals in the affluent nations are willing to direct for the longrange benefit of those who are suffering in poor nations the point is that we cant escape our responsibility because of decisions we make by ted wilcox individually and together people around the world will live or die even that seems remote as i write this but its true just because i cant feel deeply moved at the moment is no reason for doing nothing about it through changes in our eating habits food production national food policy and through relief organizations such as world vision peoples lives both in the long and shortrange will be positively affected us senator mark hatfield tells about what he calls one golden moment- in american history when the american people supplied food to the allies during world war one by calling the people to selfsacrifice even without upping agricultural production 54 million tons of food was sent or about the same amount of food aid as was sent by the us in 1974 canadas food aid program is in a similar position steadily declining over the past several years even as the need steadily rose senator hatfield went on to say that when increased food production was instituted in the u s to supply the allies in 1918 that 18 million tons of food was shipped overseas the next year they supplied 20 million tons hatfield maintains that world hunger is the greatest threat to the wellbeing of each of us he said that famine will do more to destabilize the world than all the atomic weaponry possessed by the big powers desperate people do desperate things and remember that nuclear fission is now in the hands of even the developing countries beyond that hatfield appeals as a christian- to other people who goby that name the greatest commandment we have is to love god and to love our neighbors he wrote and love is not an emotion it is ac tion we on the average use up to 1500 pounds of grain per person per year the average jj person in underdeveloped nations has 400 7 while we probably wouldnt hesitate feed a single hungry man who came to ou door we strongly balk at feeding millions starving people there has to be something totally wrori in that situation tol un1 of j pvh -mmaaai- rl
