This is how you do it dad, Jennifer Shropshire seems to be telling her father Don during an open house at
Blyth Public School Thursday night. The grade one student was one of many youngsters who showed their
progress to their parents.

Bly th committee surveys businesses
As part of its preparations for the
Opportunity Tour next fall, the
Blyth Business and Tourism Com
mittee is surveying Blyth business
es to see what they would like to see
added to the community.
Committee chairperson Bev
Elliott said the survey is to try to get
some direction as a starting point
for the committee’s work. The
committee is gathering informa
tion on local business opportuni
ties to present to a tour of potential
investorsfromoverseaswhen it
visits Huron in September.
The committee would also like to
hear what businesses and services
other citizens think could improve
the community but began with the
business community because it is
easiest to reach. “If they have
anything to tell us, that’s what
we’d like to hear,’’ Councillor
Elliott said. “If there’s legwork to
be done then we can do it.’’
There is a sense of urgency in
gathering information since the
group has only got until the end of
the year to put together its
presentation and forward it to the
Huron County Planning and De
velopment department.
The mark the second anniver
sary of the birth of The Citizen,
open houses will be held in both
Brussels and Blyth offices this
week.
Area residents are welcome to
come in for coffee and doughnuts in
The Brussels office on Wednesday
(today) from 1 - 4 p.m. and in Blyth
on Thursday from 1 - 4 p.m.
Members of the staff will be on
hand to meet guests and explain
the working of a newspaper.
The Citizen ’ s first issue went out
on Oct. 23, 1985 after members of
the two communities banded
together to put up the money to
start a newspaper to serve the
north-Huron area. The paper has
been a tremendous success story
since, receiving national media
attention, growing rapidly to the
point circulation is now half again
as large as was originally expected,
expanding staff so that there are
now twofull-time writer-photo
graphers and one full-time and one
part-time advertising representa
tives as well as the production staff
required. There are now 10 full and
part-time employees of North
Huron Publishing Company Inc.,
the official name of the company.
In addition The Citizen has won
several awards, the latest of which,
first place for advertising excel
lence for newspapers under 2500
circulation in Ontario was picked
up by Janice Gibson, advertising
manager, at the fall meeting of the
Ontario Community Newspaper
Association in Ottawa on the
weekend.
Listowel vet
heads CVMA
Former Listowel veterinarian
Dr. Tom Sanderson has been
elected president of the Canadian
Veterinary Medical Association
(CVMA).
A graduate of the Ontario
Veterinary College in 1961, Dr.
Sanderson spent more than 20
yearsinpractice, firstin Mount
Forest, then in Listowel. His
particular interest was swine
health management.
Dr. Sanderson and his family
returned to Guelph in 1982 as
supervisor of the Swine Research
Station. Later, he accepted the
added responsibility of co-ordina
tor of the College Externship
Program.
Dr. Sanderson is also past
president of the Ontario Veterinary
Association.
Sometimes there's just
not enough room
Over the past few weeks, with school back in and many groups
swinging back into their fall activities, we have been faced with the
problem of too much news to fit in the space we have in The Citizen.
The result is that often people are disappointed because news items
they have submitted do not appear in the paper. It would be ideal if we
had more advertising which would allow us to print more pages but
often we do not. The Citizen is budgeted to pay its bills on the basis of 50
per cent of its space for news and 50 per cent for advertising (many
newspapers budget for 35 per cent news, 65 per cent advertising).
Therefore for every extra page of advertising we have, we have an
extra page to put news on.
When we have more news than space a complicated decision has to
be made. Some news, because of its importance to nearly all our
readers, will obviously be chosen first for publishing. Beyond that,
however, news maybe left out for reasons as diverse as the fact that the
news may still be timely next week or simply that the hole left is six
inches long and the news storey is 10 inches (or the hole is 10 inches and
the story six).
We do the best we can and the fact that your article does not appear
does not mean that we think your news wasn’t worthy of being printed.
