We hope his fears will not be justi-

Tennis, anyone?

lt is frustrating how this column gets kicked around,

It made its brilliant debut last week, to the sound of thunderous applause. (Would you believe half a clap by a one-handed man?)

The editor should have been convinced that the brilliant prose should have been the very corners Stone for the second front page,

He didn't, He moved it,

By the time the second front page deadline came around, your hack was following the example of most images of Buddha, _

He was contemplating hie navel,

The column was relegated to this slum section of an otherwise fine news paper,

It’s a depressing thought to start a brand new column and discover that the secondtime you apply pinkies to keyboard, you don’t know what to write about.

Fortunately I found consie derable inspiration in my Bud. dhistie contemplation.

It happened slowly, :

At first all that was .oticed was eye strain, thought initially

to be caused by the very intensity

of the contemplation ~ =~ or at least crud upon the lenses of the spectacles of your myopic agent,

Then the moment of truth ar. rived,

The source of contemplation had somehow advanced a great deal in front of the contempla= tor.

A vast barrier of lard now lay between the subject and the ob-« ject.

-At this stage he gave an ear- battering yell of “Tennis, any= one?”

But received no reply at all.

T hasten to add that Iam not trying to make like one of those bucksioothed individuals who pop in and out of drawing rooms in

‘outdated English dramas.

hand and weak of mind,

I have cast furtive look at those twin pitted surfaces which suffice as tennis courts in this town.

They are always empty.

It is possible that the Terrace tennis players have sensed my coming and decided they should hide lest that fat editor bounce up and down and ruin the ruins on which they attempt to play tennis.

There is a tennis club in town, Some fifty adults parted with the necessary six dollars to be part of it. ;

But now as the courts stay dee serted, there remains only the conclusion that they were all a bunch of compulsive joiners; or that they were socially ostra- ised and compelled to move cute side of city limits in this golf- oriented community,

Pete Fanning, the undersized Community Centre director, doge n't know about this yet. But why. don’t all the tennis afficionades descend upon him and demand that something be done in the name of

letters to the editor

Editor, Herald,

I am one of your numerous Canadian readers of French ori- gin, As a Canadian, I was vexed as well as you at the remarks President De Gaulle made during his recent visit to this country, meddling with our domesile af. fairs.

However, your comment that General De Gaulle is 4 general of defeat, a soldier whose only military glory was won by cling- ing to the coattails of his allies only shows your ignorance onthe personality of the General. You have only to read one of the many -books oan the life of De Gaulle to find out all what hehas accome plished In France since the end of the war. Even the English ad- mit that they would require some- bedy like him te bring their coum- try out of its actual financial sit. uation, The book ‘Is Paris bure ning” relates how De Gaulle’s foresight saved France from turning communist in 1945, Also De Gaulie was an expert on’‘mili. tary iactics on which he wrote three books before the second World Wax, lt is well known that it is by following those tactics that the Germans were so’ suce cessful in invading France,

T respect the feelings of Can. adians of British origin toward their motherland, Their loyalty

and devotion to our country is 4 mone, the.legs for that, Similarly,

honored President De Gaulle by a majestic reception, His remark “Tong live free Quebec” was ute fortunate inasmuch that it was ine terpreted in the narrow sense of the word, In my books, this means that he supports the idea that French Canadians should be free to manage their ovm affairs within the Federal Constitution if possible or otherwise without. I also want to express. my dissatisfaction for the way the newspapers in general outside Quebec, handled this delicate sit- uation, After all, France has always been a friend of Canada, President De Gaulle is getting on in age, Also thathis statement should not be taken at face value. I believe that your newspaper by its statements has contributed more to the frictions between the French and English elements of our: population than the state- ments of De Gaulle, who mostly hurt himself, Amry, Terrace, Editor, Herald

My sympathies to you, Joo Cunningham; (last issue, ‘see here, joy boy, awelder Iam not,") I read your column witha chuckle, However, [ was past the “toe

Why isa phone ringing in the middle of the night so alarming as to jolt one out of deep slumber to the State of being prepared for the worst? Perhaps it is having a family - scattered all across Canada, from Ottawa ‘to Van- couver, andthe knowledge that the quickest way of contact in emex gencies is by telephone.’

Taking down the receiver and expectantly asking, ‘‘Hello” 1 was answered with, “Who aml speaking to?’’ Now this rude re« tort from a child in the middle of the day stirs my bit of Irishtem- per,
