Teacher is Desmond Hunt. rock talk by g Tuesday-on-the-Squa re :3. paul jones r John Lennon â€" walls and bridges ‘Walls and Bridges‘ (SW- 3416) is the fifth album John Lennon has released since the Beatle break-up. Backed by such notable artists as Jim Keltner â€" drums, Jesse Ed Davis â€" guitar, Nicky Hopkins â€"â€" piano, Klaus Voorman â€"- bass, Bobby Keys â€" horns, and special guest â€" Elton John â€" organ, piano and harmony vocals, ‘Walls And Bridges', with the guidance from Lennon, results, musically speaking, as the finest effort so far by Lennon. Lyrically speaking, ‘John Lennon Plastic Ono Band‘ (SW 3372) is still Lennon‘s best effort. ‘Walls And Bridges’ contains 11 songs â€" ‘Going Down On Love’, ‘Whatever Gets You Thru The Night‘, ‘Old Dirt Road‘, ‘What You Got’, ‘Bless You', ‘Sacred’, ‘No. 9‘ Dream’, ‘Surprise, Surprise (Sweet Bird of Paradox)’, ‘Steel And Glass’, ‘Beef Jerky’ and ‘Nobody Loves You (When You’re Down And Out)‘. Some of the better tunes on the album are ‘Going Down On Love’ ~ a slow, yet funky, rhythm and blues number, ‘Whatever Gets You Thru The Night’ â€" a 1950's-type rock and roll song featuring some ex- cellent tenor sax breaks (by Bobby Keys) and piano playing (by Elton John); ‘Sacred' â€" another easy going rhythm and blues number; ‘No. 9 Dream’ â€"- one of the nicest pieces on the LP, being a soft number and sort of a continuation of ‘Across The Universe‘; ‘Steel And Glass' â€" familiar in structure to song, ‘How Do You Sleep?‘ (which is from the ‘Imagine‘ LP), except that this song seems to be attacking Allen Klein (former manager of Len- non, Harrison and Starr); and ‘Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)‘ â€" a superbly written, and sung, composition. taking a negative, though RE-ElECT GORD ROWE Regional Councillor o BANQUETS Please contact For Your Convenience Richmond Hill Curling Club now invites you to use their facilities for: o WEDDING RECEPTIONS realistic, viewpoint of life. ‘Walls And Bridges‘ is indeed a fine album which easily gives the impression John ,Lennon‘s creativity is far from being at an end, as some critics wish to believe. SCALPERS It‘s a shame all the tickets to the Elton John concert, were sold out so quickly. Unfortunately, most of the crowd that waited to buy tickets to the concert, went home empty-handed. They didn‘t have a chance against the scalpers who bought up all the tickets. This even happened right in Richmond Hill where scalpers bought tickets at the normal prices, to sell at inflated prices later. One has to stoop pretty low to be a scalper â€" a profession which is no better, in status, than being a pimp or a dealer. 6 candidates attend lecture Six people who will be Richmond Hill candidates in the coming municipal election were introduced to those present at the sixth and final lecture of the Ontario Conference in Local Government, October 31 at Don Head Secondary School.

Fire Chief Robert Ken- nedy said he didn‘t know just how much mail had been lost, as the box was taken to the post office af- terwards. The local firefighters also made their second call in as many weeks to the Rich- mond Hill Curling Club, Elgin Mills Road, November 1, because of an ammonia leak. The leak occurred in the compressor and firemen needed masks to go into the building. Notall fires It‘s not all fire fighting for firefighters, however. November 2, the Hill department was called to 402 Markham Road to rescue three women who were trapped in an elevator. The three, Donna and Carla Stout, and Mrs. A. Ufton, had been in the elevator an hour before firemen were called. Because of an inexpert attempt by someone else earlier, it took the rescuers another half hour to get the elevator door open. Grass fires, false alarms and a couple of car fires rounded out the week for the local firemen.
