Blyth Council accepted his resignation at their October meeting. Clerk Larry Walsh told council that Mr. McClure resigned because he had no facilities to keep impounded dogs. Council will seek the services of a new animal control officer. Liability coverage People who rent the arena facilities for private parties should extend their liability insurance coverage. This was the message given to Blyth Council by insurance agent Frank Cowan. He has suggested that the village shouldn't carry extra riders on its insurance alk policy to cover private functions. It was noted that it would cost an in- dividual approximately $100 fur extra liability . coverage per event, or the aadl- tional insurance could be added to a home owner's policy. Council passed a motion noting that renters are advised they are responsible for their own insurance coverage. This recom- mendation will be sent hack to the arena board for study. It was noted that service clubs, sports organizations and other village groups have their own liability insurance. Clerk Walsh questioned whether in- dividuals would take the initiative to pro- ' vide their own liability coverage for private parties. He suggested, "If we requested everyone to have insurance, no one would rent the -arena." Farm support defeated Blyth Council members appreciate the, fact that farmers are suffering financial • hardships, but they are not prepared to sup- port a move for greater subsidies to assist them. Council 'filed a resolution from the Pork Producers which is asking the government to introduce emergency subsidies for On- . tario's red meat producers to help them fairly compete with farniers and greater subsidies in other provinces. •Councillor Bill Howson' noted, "It's an.in- justice that the federal government isn't fair to farmers in all the provinces.. the farmers don't want hand buts, they want . balance." • Classes visit town hall Councillor Albert Wasson said that the on, ly way to bring justice to the farming economy is to abolish all subsidies and grants. Councillor Lloyd Sippel agreed, saying, "I will support the removal of subsidies in other provinces, but not the addition of another." The need for immediate farm assistance was again emphasized by Couticillot Howson. He said he doesn't normally sup- port' resolutions sent to council from other municipalities, but he offered his full back- ing for this motion, saying, "the red meat producers in Huron are in bad shape. Bruce County farmers are even worse". "The agriculture industry is the backbone of the country. Every industry relates back to food. We all have to eat. Tourism is the only industry in the world that compares in size to the agricultural business." Despite Councillor Howson's strong arguments, council agreed not to take ac- tion on the resolution.

The day we remember those who died fighting for whay they, and we believe in. Many honorable men and women served in the First and Se- cond World Wars as well as the Korean war..." As I looked at these words scribbled on the piece of lined paper in front of me, my mind began to wander. I was doing an essay on Remembrance Day for my English teacher. I didn't have the slightest idea of what or who to do it on. It was due tomorrow, too. It was 11 o'clock and I was tired, oh so tired. Now what else can I talk about...maybe I'll do one about one town drunk who turned out to be a war hero like my best friend Kathy or...ohhhh boy am I tired. Maybe the one about... The next think I knew I was in a M.A.S.H. type hospital tent surrounded by beds full of wounded men. I was wearing a dress and apron that were splattered with blood. A dark-haired mal a► the bed beside me reached ottt and groaned, "Nurse, the Before 1 could do anything a young man m old fashioned glassed and Clothes ran over to "Carole. You're wanted by Colonel Fit- zgrven. Right now.'" 1 surprised myself by syaing, "Thanks,. Raoul. Please, watch these patients." The colonel was in his office with a young fair-haired man in,a white doctor's coat. He smiled at me when I came in. Colonel Ftizgiven nodded towards a -chair, "Carole, this is Major Eric Hale, he's our new doctor. He's from Kenturcky, son of a racehorse breeder, but a first class doctor as his records show. Major, this is Major Carole Towers, my head nurse. She's a great lady, saved thousands of lives, she can talk some men who you would think were dying, into living, it's absolutely amazing." I looked at the floor and blushed slightly. "Well, Colonel, I guess I'll takethe doctor over." When we reached the tent Raoul came rushing over. "Carole!" "What is it, Raoul?" "There's a man over there, he wants to talk to you, he says you know him. He's on the third cot anThe left, the fair^h iured one." There was a ,rho lltq ern his face; "And, Carole, iteS' ting»„ 1 walked over to the bed and sat down on • theedge, looking at his earl. Raoul had been right, like usual.1 smiled at the Man.

"Carole...I fought for what 1 believed in...that's all what counts...you are alive and you are free...I succeeded..." He coughed again, more blood. His body was wracked. I found my hand grasped in his. "Carole..." His hand was limp in mine and 1 didn't let go. Tears came to my eyes and I cried. "Grandpa..." • Crack! Wind 'blew the door shut and my eyes flew open. I was once again home in the kitchen with the lined sheet of paper in front of me. I picked up the pencil on the desk anc began to write. Just a touch does so much.
