I am not sure why I was singled out for this doubtful ‘ honor. But shortly after the House of Commons reconvened in October I received a telephone call from Kon- stantin Gueivandov saying he would like to come and talk to a Liberal back-bencher about dis- armament. Like most politicians when asked for an interview by the press I said "yes". After all, the worst that could happen would to be misquoted in Prav- da â€" and very few or my con- stituents read it anyway. It is not as if I were being inter; viewed by one of the York Simcoe weekly newspapers. Mr. Gueivandov turned out to be a short, stubby cheerful chap â€" not, he said. a Russian but an Armenian. The name Gueivan- dov, however, was not Armenian but had been changed by his grandfather to Gueivandov in order to escape persecution by the Turks. All during our inter- view he smoked Kent filter cigarettes â€"â€" and I idly won- dered whether this was a sub- mission on his part to the wiles of capitalist advertising. We had a lively discussion, concentrating on what steps could be taken to' promote peace. I suggested that we were making progress â€"â€" if slowly â€"â€" partially because we were ap- proaching our problems in a pragmatic way, not through the fog of ideological debate. Both the West and Soviets had found that, even though differing so greatly in ideology, we could reach mutually satisfactory pos- itions in limited areas â€" such as the nuclear test ban treaty, and the agreement to avoid placing offensive weapons on the sea bed. GREAT HONOR FOR DON HEAD The honor of pioneering dri- ver education in Ontario, and implementing an outstanding school program was recognized at a special luncheon during the education show recently. Mr. Philip Randell of Don Head Secondary was commended for development of the most com- prehensive course in driver edu- ‘cation in Ontario and possibly [in Canada. In the long run, I suggested, peace will depend‘ on the ability Mr. Randell was presented with an engraved plaque by an industrial safety group repre- senting all of North America. The phaque is presented each year in recognition of outstandâ€" ing achievement in the field of driver education. Traditionally the 3 “E’s” of driver education have been taught. These are engineering, enforcement and education. However, Mr. Randell has broadened this concept to in- clude experimentation, explana- tion, evaluation and expansion. tide Season early in November. In those days, there was cooking and baking, and the making of decorations and gifts to keep the settlers busy at this time of year. The staff at Don Head feel honored to have such a person and such a program at our school.

If we could coâ€"operate on the problems of development rather than com- pete for military advantage a surer basis for peace was likely to be found. More immediateIY. I SUE- gested. the Soviet Union could play an enormously constructive role by encouraging North Viet- nam to be less rigid in their Paris negotiations with the United States, and by using their influence in the Middle East in a stabilising way. It soon became clear that Mr. Gueivandov's principal concern was with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s forthcoming visit to Russia. And especially he was hopeful about the possibility of Canada assisting in the promo- tion of a European security con- ference to discuss the reduction of armed forces in Europe by both the NATO and WarSaw Pact countries. Before leaving I asked Mr. Gueivandov for his comments on the recent award of the Nobel Prize for Literature to the Russian Author Solzhen- itsyn. Of course, he replied, it was up to him whether or not he wished to accept it. But in Russia they regard the Nobel Prize as a political propaganda award. “There were many more brilliant writers â€"- according to our standards." Mr. Gueivandov told me. â€"- “Why did they not choose one of them?" And then, with a wave of his hand he was gone.

The huge theatre is more than adequate for a big performance. The stage is 30 ft. by 60 feet across and 80 feet in height. There are two curtains which enclose the stage, each weighing one ton. The orchestra pit can be elevated to the re- quired level. Back stage there is room for 74 scenes for each production. The most scenes used in one performance was in Camelot in which 62 scene changes were made. Below stage there are 50 dressing rooms, two rehearsal rooms and a green room which is used for relaxing before and after performances. VISIT TO “THE LIBERAL” 1 By Adelina Losier ‘ On October 29, the newspaper reporters and the 5-22 students were invited to go for a tour of “The Liberal” neWspaper. Mary iDawson was the lady who took us for a tour around the place. She described and showed everything to us. It was very interesting to see the people operating the machines. We would like to thank Miss Daw- son and the staff of “The Liberal” very much for their coâ€"operation and time spent with us. Pioneer Era The village staff will demon- strate how food was prepared for Christmas. including fancy breads, cookies, cakes, mince- meat. plum puddings and hot mulled cider. They will be also making Christmas decorations and home-made pioneer Christ- mas gifts. Christmas Carols will be sung in the Half Way House inn by a group of strolling carolers, and the Village general store, Las- kay's Emporium. will display a line of goods that would have been available for purchase by the pioneer family of the 1850’s at this time of year. The Bel-wick house In the village will feature special table decorations of the period, along with fancy breads and sweet- meats. For more information con- cerning the activities in the village, interested persons should phone 633-9901. YORK SIMCOE A bill guaranteeing property tax reductions for needy pen- sioners averaging 40 percent this year was introduced in the Legislature last week by Minis- ter of Municipal Affairs, Darcy McKeough. The bill would give $50 tax rebates to pensioners receiving the federal guaranteed income supplement, whether they own or rent their homes. The provision is part of a Ontario Pensoners On Federal Aid (I.

Shop For Miles Around four-point financial aid program 0 u t 1 i n e d in a “mini-throne speech" when the Legislature returned from a three-month summer recess early in October. Other measures will provide 75 percent provincial subsidies for municipal rapid transit stu- dies, and give Ontario farmers a flat 25 percent rebate on their 1970 property taxes. A fourth plan to develop a "more equitable" tax system in York and Peel Counties where reassessment has been compleâ€" ted will be announced some time next year. McKeough‘s bill applies the $50 rebates only to pensioners who receive the federal sup- plement to the old age pension. A federal means test is required to qualify for the supplement. The rebates are to be made in addition to the province’s pro- perty tax reduction program which will provide rebates aver- aging $54 for all householders this year. This means a pensioned couâ€" ple with little outside income will receive an avaravge of $154 in tax rebates this year, about 40 percent of the average $382 paid in property taxes across the province. The Legislature also gave second reading â€"â€" approval in principle â€"â€" to legislation allow- ing the government to pay municipalities 75 percent of the cost of rapid transit studies. The government has also indicated that it will increase its grants for rapid transit construction. which now amounts to 50 per cent of the cost of the road bed. RAMER FUELS 189 CENTRE ST. EAST 884-1313 Order the fuel oil that keeps your tank free from rust as well as heats effi- ciently. Your heating sys- tem will thank you for it. Back to the headache. . . . Worry, frustration or unhappiness trigger reactions in us physically as well as mentally. Muscles contract, particularly around the neck and zap! â€"â€" classic tension head- ache. Work on those muscles, ease the contraction and then you may deal more effectively with the problems at hand. Gain control of the muscles and use them properly and gracefully -- dance. Control of the muscles . . . (ah-ha, sounds like work you say). Yvonne begins her class with relax- ation and stretching exercises to ease the muscles. (Continued from Page 2) this theory herself about six years ago and her belief in it is unshakeable. . . . M-m-m, feels good. . . . About forty-five min- utes of excercises to regain lost control of the muscles affecting posture are completed next. Now, the dancing. Strangely enough. you aren't tired; stimulated seems a better word to use. Yvonne might now start you on a finger snapping Greek dance, intricate middle east movement or a stately minuet. The emphasis is most assuredly placed on grace of movement and perfect posture. Michael Snow‘s “Woman Walking” would be a good model ,for perfect posture in Cultural Physics (weight on the front foot, pelvis tilted, midriff pulled up and shoulders down and back). Surpris- ingly, it’s not nearly as difficult as it sounds; it feels great and looks terrific! “Woman walking” fits neatly into “The Golden Key” (a mathematically reached spiral using 3:5 as a ratio devised by the Greeks which, symetrically speaking, is perfection). It seems to follow then, that a woman who walks in this manner, walks in classic beauty. Nature, in thé pattern of a leaf, the curl of a snail, or the human foetal position follows the “golden key” pre- cisely. Again then, it follows that this position must surely be natural and deviation through ten- sion, eaziness or deformity is mutating nature's perfect intention. The Ancient Greeks believed that the individual should try to develop himself mentally and physic- any to the highest degree that he nught five fife abundantly and beautifully. Yvonne Putzer believes it; lives it and walks in beauty. . . . Now about that headache.
