The seminar will be presented by Cynthia Malik, the program director of Alcohol and Drug Concerns, Inc. and Constable Tannihill from the Mount Forest detachment of the OPP. According to Mrs. Malik, the seminar will be divided into two parts; one centering on talking to families about bringing up their children in a chemical age and the other, a slide presentation and drug samples shown Growers favor selling concept Rutabaga growers, asked to express their opinion on a new selling concept for their product, answered a province -wide poll with a close vote. Forty-seven producers, or 50.54 per cent of the growers, voted in favor of a true single desk selling concept at the poll. Some 49.46 per cent, or 46 producers, were oppos- ed to the concept. Ab,.._t 85 per cent of Ontario's eligible pro- ducers participated in the vote held at three polling stations across the province. No ballots were spoiled. "The Farm Products Marketing Board is considering the poll results and will be mak- ing recommendations to Agriculture and Food Minister Dennis TiTnbrell in the near future," said John McMurchy, chairman of the Farm Products Marketing Board. The poll was held as a result of the Rutabaga Producers' Marketing Board pro- posal to the Farm Products Marketing Board requesting central selling authority to help improve the health and viability of the industry. A description of the true single desk sell- ing concept was drafted by Farm Products Marketing Board. The concept is based mainly on the single desk portion of the Rutabaga Baord's central selling proposal. It is similar to concepts used in other marketing plans such as the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Plan. by Constable Tannahill. Mrs- Malik says an aim of the seminar is to get parents to face the reality that there is drugs in the community and not to panic. Her talk will give strategies of drug prevention and signs that indicate whether or not your child is taking drugs. Alcohol and Drug Concerns, Inc. is a non- profit provincial organization that has a mandate that stresses prevention through education. Mrs. Malik has an M.A. in teaching and has counselled drug offenders and has worked for the Don Maximum Security Jail in Toronto for two years. She was also a columnist for Chatelaine magazine and wrote the column Your kids and mine. Following the seminar, the public is in- vited to ask questions concerning drugs. The seminar will be held on Oct. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Blyth Public School.

Mr. McCall recently had a portion of his work published in Blyth. Songs for Worship is a collection of eight hymns with words and lyrics written by Jim McCall. Jim McCall's musical talents are no re- cent discovery. As a child he played the violin and hummed along to countless records. "I used to sit in a rocking chair, and rock to the music from an old gramophone," remembers Mr. McCall. He is still playing the violin and gives lessons to area children. When he was younger he used to play for the air force in an orchestra and he says that they even went as far as to make a record. Writing music and lyrics is relatively new for Jim McCall. At the age of retirement he began to think about his future, then one day, after some outside inspiration, he sat down and wrote The Dance of the Miller. He hasn't looked back since. Jim McCall has about 95 songs to his credit and he is still writing. Mr. McCall said that he has written a lot of songs and many of them are far from be- ing religious but "hymns are my strong point." He said that he used to write religious as a son pieces for a number of people and always he found it quite easy. "I seem to be able to put words together that rhyme with no difficulty therefore songs came easy to me," he commented. Mr. McCall said that he follows a few steps when he is writing a song, "First I put the melody on tape so that I don't forget it, then I ask my wife if she has heard anything similar before, when we discover that it is new we then decide whether or not we like it." When a song is written and the tune and lyrics are together, Mr. McCall goes down to the Post Office and has them certify that the package is sealed with a tape wrapped firm- ly inside. When the certification is over, he takes the package and deposits it in a safety deposit box. He says he does this in order to protect his rights. If someone was to copy his words or music he can take them to court and verify the day he wrote the particular piece. "When I first started writing music I was afraid that someone would steal my music, but now I don't care," Mr. McCall said. "If someone steals fine, I don't need money when I have happiness right here." With thousands of songs already written, he is not afraid of running dry of ideas for new ones. "There is always another song." Memorial Hall needs dishes and utensils The Blyth Memorial Hall is a favorite spot for dinner meetings and banquets for groups under 100. Twelve months of the year the hall is regularly used by various groups for banquets. Amy McCrea, secretary treasurer of the Blyth recreation committee and Kay Hesselwood, hall board kitchen chairman are asking for the financial assistance of those who enjoy the dining room facilities at the hall. They are organizing a fund raising campaign to help purchase new dishes, cutlery and pots and pans for the hall. Mrs. McCrea hopes that at least $1,000 can be raised to help purchase at least 75 place settings of dishes, pots, pans and kitchen utensils. The new equipment will replace old pans and cracked dishes. Already over $450 has been raised and another $100 has been pledged by various Blyth groups. The Legion Ladies Auxiliary and the Anglican Church Women have each donated $200 and the Catholic Women's League have pledged $75. The village Horticultural Society and the Lost Heir group have each given $25. The dishes purchased will become property off the Memorial Hall and Mrs. Rabies clinics to be held Vets to hold rabies clinic 1 Veterinarians in Ontario are sponsoring two province -wide rabies vaccination clinics to be held on October 15 and 29, dur- ing the hours of 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The cost for the vaccination is $5 per. animal and all animals are to be properly restrained. The veterinarians ask that pet owners place leashes on their dogs and place their cats in carriers. The veterinary profession is holding these clinics as an expression of concern over the rising incidence of rabies in Ontario and the increased possibility of human exposure to the disease. The program is being sponsored by local veterinarians in an effort to vaccinate those animals that might otherwise not receive protection. The following veterinarians in this area will be offering the service for your four month or older dog or cat. Dr. Robin G. Wiley of Huron Veterinary Services, RR 2 Blyth; Dr. G.E. Alexander of the Brussels Veterinary Clinic; Dr. W. Garry Balsdon of the Exter Animal Hospital; Dr. S.G. Leedham of the Wingham Veterinary Clinic and Dr. G.L. Lutch of the South Huron Veterinary Clinic, Zurich. McCrea says that private individuals and groups are welcome to contribute. "Even $5 will help," she enthused and noted that anyone wishing to support the kitchen project may contact her at 523-9344. The committee hopes that funds can be i raised as soon as possible, so items can be purchased and ready to use for Christmas and upcoming winter banquets.
