A Few Highlights Of
Years Gone By
July 4, 1966
Editor: Blyth STANDARD
Dear Sir:
Memory fails me, Can any of
your returning schoolsters sup-
ply me with the names of the
1925 juvenile delinquents (fe-
male) who spent a period in the
local brick jail on Hallowe'en. I
believe no charges were pressed
and probably over -indulgent par-
ents bailed them out for sake of
the family name, Responsible In-
stitutions , . , . London Life for
instance ... , might be interested
in the record.
And once upon a time a mile or
so north west of town there was
a gate post and there were very
tempting apples hanging low
over a fence. Gate post and tree
are no longer there but ttnhen I
pass the spot I can still vividly
see a teen-age youth and a teen-
age maid tied hack to back to
the fence post. They had been
caught red-handed in theft on a
romantic September evening and
their captor apparently had las-
soed them with a length of kitch-
en clothes -line, 1 did not linger
because 1 never cared to get in-
volved with the criminal ele-
ments. This is written to sting
their conscience (if any) forty
years later . . forty years of
outstanding achievement,
Also If one of your citizens
around Blyth will slip me a tang-
ible consideration in a plain en-
velope in the dark, I will not
mention bile fact that once upon
a tore he carne home by devious
back streets and lanes and back
yards after midnight after swim-
ming illegally in the creek and
some person (not me) had stolen
a 'shoe or some other very essen-
tial article of clothing.
Also required for records:
Third verse of an inspirational
poem that was used (1 think) for
Grade XIi literature in those an-
cient days. First verse was:
"'There is a young fellow called
Moody,
A very peculiar buddy;
If man's made of dust
Then he surely must
Have been made when it was
mddy!"
"Said Alex to Monica Cronyn,
'Now what is the cause of your
Moanin'
Miss Bell got mad
Because 1 was bad
And she sent ole
Sloman"
in to old
WHO IS WINE E?
Sister Nativity writes from SL
Joseph Convent, . 135 Avenue,

will be with us in spirit at the
sdhool re -union but time and cir-
cumstances prevent her attending
physically, She sends memory
greetings to a hundred of us and
a special mention of love to Fer-
gus Kelly and to Jack Denholm
of Parkwood Hospital in London.

A STRANGER CALLED SUMMER der a shade tree. and restoring
himself.
It doesn't matter what has been
planned for his holidays. Wheth•
er a mad motor trip of 3,000
miles, or a cottage at Crud Lake,
or a tenting excursion, he's going
10 have to be a human dynamo
for about 18 hours a day.
What's happened in three dec-
ades? Cars, affluence, desire for
status, and women,
In about the last three dec.
ades, the face of a Canadian
summer has changed almost be•
yond recognition.
Think back to your summers as
a child. The sights and the
sounds and the smells have all
changed. You'd scarcely know you
were in the same country.
Summer itself has not changed.
As a nation half -frozen after a
long, weary winter and a cold,
wet spring, we still greet it with
rapture and incredulity. It is the
celebration of the season that has
been transformed.
Thirty years ago, summer was a
quiet time. The pace was leis-
urely. The mood was one of
peace. Today, it's just the oppo-
site. It is the noisiest time of
the year, the pace is frantic, and
the mood is jazzy.
In those days, , summer pleas-
ures, for the working staff, were
simple. And for a couple of good
reasons, He worked nine or 10
hours a day; and he didn't have
any money.
When he got home, he was
whacked. Afer supper, he might
water the lawn, or do a Iittle
weeding, or just sit on the front
porch until dark. Occasionally,
he'd take in a ball game, or may-
be drive the family around for a
While, and buy everybody an ice-
cream cone.
When his holidays rolled
around, he didn't do much. Put-
tered around, painting the trim
on the house, or • worked in the
garden, Maybe took the family to
visit relatives for a few days.
In those days, summer cottages,
and power boats, and resort ho-
tels and golf were for the
wealthy.
What a difference today! The
working stiff gets hone, and his
day has. just begun. IIe has a
golf elate. Or the family wants to
go out in the boat, Or the kids
demand he drive them for a
swim. Or his wife has asked
somebody over for drinks and a
barbecue and he must don the
apron and get to work.
When his holidays come
around, the pace triples, No put.
ering about the house for him.
No sitting in the hack yard, un-

Cars, and the subsequent high-
ways to accommodate them, have
opened up the hinterland, Beach
areas that used to be quiet, little
summer settlements rt the end
of a rugged gravel road are now
roaring, raucous neon jungles by
night, flesh strips and screaming
motors by day,
Virgin lakes, not long ago ac-
cessible only by canoe and port-
age, are now laid bare by de-
velopers, and the bulldozers are
at work, and everybody wants to
own his own plot, though prices
have sky -rocketed.
Affluence, combined with the
never -never -land of the finance
company, has made its inroads.
Today the working man owns his
own cottage, or cruiser, and be-
longs to the golf club. The big
resorts have been taken over by
the moderately well-to-do. The
rich, in disgust, fly to Europe.
The eternal pursuit of status
in our society has played its part.
If that crumb next door can af-
ford a cottage for two weeks, Joe
can afford a flight to the West
Coast. It he has a 50 -horse "mo-
tor, Joe needs a 75horse, If his
kids are going to camp for two
weeks, Joe's are going for the
Whole of August.
And women? Ah, how they
have helped change the face of
Canada's summer! They used to
be content to stay home, look
after their gardens and put up
preserves in the summer. They
used to be happy with a family
picnic on Sundays, They u:secl to
enjoy making a pitcher of cold
lemonade on a hot summer eve-
ning, and bringing it out to the
porch,
Now they want a cottage for
two months, or a new and bigger
boat, or a second car, plus a
membership at the golf club,

WEDNESDAY, JULY 6, 1906
Report From Queen's Park
(By Murray Gaunt M.P.P,
Iiuron•13ruce)
The agricultural estimates were
before the House this week,
Speaking for our Party, I point-
ed out that Ontario has no long
term plan to cope, even in a small
way, with inadequate farm incom-
es. The lack of long term policy
is the cause of most of our urgent
problems and the reason we are
in the position we are today in
agriculture.
The Minister of Agriculture,
William Stewart, announced plans
for an exhaustive examination of
Ontario's farm and food industry
that will covet' everything from
productivity 10 prices.
The Conference will be held
October 25 to 28 this year at Vine-
land. I suggested that a number
of programs be undertaken to aid
agriculture and relieve some of
the pressures that have been
building up these past few
years. These steps were as fol-
lows:
1, The government in con-
junction with farm organizations
must draw up a long range plan
for agriculture. 'Phis complete
and comprehensive blueprint
would recognize such things as
the exploding population, figures,
lack of any more tillable soil in
Canada and indeed in most of the
world; the fact. that by the year
2,000 at the current rate of popu-
latien increase in Canada we
plus a new patio, plus a couple of
weeks at a swank resort.
It's no wonder poor Joe is a
\ti,himperiing Shell at the end of
the sumtner, exhausted, broke
and frazzled.
Will the Government of Can-
ada authorize color' telecasting
by Canadian stations before Oc-
tober 1st of this year? I thine
they will and the legal date will
be the week of September 111th,
Some months ago, July 1st was
the date announced as the start
of experimental colourcasting af-
ter sign -off and .before sign -on.
For those who had colour sets
last Tuesday and remained up
until the midnight hour, the col-
our experiments were interesting
to watch.
C1+"I'O_TV in Toronto produced
a ':+:cont 'live' formal opening and
then an four full-length motion
pictures with n break in the mid-
dle for the news, weather and
sports `live' in colour. The movies
finished around 8 a.m., in time
for regular daytime black and
white programming.
IPamilton's Channel 11 had a
"colour burst"' at midnight as
station manager, Al Bruner, de-
scribed it. One movie was shown,
along with other colour tests.
Kitchener', CKCO TV hyd a
brief colour announcement and
demonstration , at midnight,
Channel 10: in London had
most of its equipment, but it
wasn't checked out In time for
the July 1st experiment.
Remember that date — the
week of September 11th. 1 pre-
dicted the data of the last Fed-
eral Election .two weeks before
Prime Minister Pearson announ-
ced it. 1 haven't got a hot line
to his office - it was just luck
and I hope I'm right this time
too.
1t will be good for thebroad-
casting industry.
would need another 40,000,000
acres of farm land to feed our
people, farm labour policies and
recognition that our rural and
urban economies are inseparably
integrated,
2. A complete reorganization
of the Department of Agriculture.
3. The Government of Ontario
undertake immediately to pay 25c
per cwt, to farmers shipping milk
for manufacturing purposes.
4. $500. grant on building of
milk houses and $400, on purchase
of milk cooler.
5. Forgive one-third of every
Junior harmer loan to a maximum
of $3,000. if the borrower has
kept up, within reason, his inter-
est and principal payments for
ten years provided he is a full.
time farmer.
0. Reduce the interest on Jun-
ior Farmer loans from 5% to
3%.
Provide payment of a direct
grant of 20 % of the purchase
price of commercial fertilizers
up to a maximum of $75,00 per
farmer per year.
8. A five-year plan for rural
development to ensure That agri-
culture will enter a new era of
progressive development, accom-
panied by a program of sound
and cultural enrichment,

FEDERATION OF AGR,
CONFIRMS MARKETING
BOARD STAND '
Because of the severity of the
recent criticism which has been
levelled against the new Ontario
Milk Marketing Board, the Ont-
ario Federation of Agriculture
feels compelled to re -state its pot•
icy as it relates to marketing
hoards in general.
As recently as last year's an•
nual convention, the OFA re•
affirmed its traditional and une•
quivocal support for the principle
of producer marketing boards.
We wish to emhpasizc there has
been no Change in the policy of
our organization in this regard.
The recent and unfortunate
controversy over the price of milk
has prompted the severe and per-
sistent criticism of the Ontario
Milk Marketing Board, This crit-
icism appears to have been based
on the fact that it is a govern•
ment appointed board.
The Ontario Federation of Ag•
riculture understood the neces-
sity for establishing the Milk Mar-
keting Board on an appointed
basis, during its inaugural stages,
tont, agreed to this procedure.
However, we draw attention to
the fact a continuation of an ap-
pointed board on a permattmit
basis is contrary to OFA policy.
As a result of the above situa-
tion the OFA has urged the Min.
ister of Agriculture to make pro -

visions whereby milk producers
will be afforded an opportunity
to elect members to the Ontario
Milk Marketing Board at an early
date.
We have suggested the trans-
ition from an appointed board to
an elected board should be accom-
plished gradually over a 3 year
period so as to cause a minimum
of disruption to the milk mark-
eting program that is currently
underway in this province.
The OFA wishes to pay tribute
to the accomplishments of the
Ontario Milk Marketing Board
during the short period since its
inception and re -affirm our sup-
port for a prothuce' board.
AGRICULTURE MINISTER
PLANS FOUR-DAY
CONFERENCE
The Ontario Federation of Ag.
riculture is heartened by Agri-
culture Minister Stewart's an-
nouncement of a four-day confer -
once, to be held later this year at
Vineland. 'hhe purpose of this
conference is In 'consider condi-
tions within the agricultural in-
dust!), and evolve long-term pot-
icies which will place farming on
a sound economic basis.
The Minister's announcement
is particularly gratifying to the
Ontario Federation of Agricul-
ture in view of the requests that
were contained in our annual
brief .to the Government of On-
tario
ntario which was presented earlier
in the year. In this presentation,
we drew attention to the urgency
and need for establishing a long-
term policy for agriculture de-
signed to meet the demands of
changing conditions. We empha-
sized strongly that the establish -
meld of such long-term policies
should not be delayed by the ap•
poi al meat o a royal commissiiln
or select committee on agricul.
ture,
We are pleased to note that
farm organizations will be afford•
ed an oppontuniy to participate in
this conference along with rep-
resentatives from every facet of
the agricultural and food indus-
try.
We commend the Honourable
William A, Stewart for taking
such action. We are pleased in-
deed that he has seen 1'it to act
promptly and in accordance with
requests made by our organiza-
tion,

A Belated "Thank You" Fire Destroys Badley
Extended For Play Barn In Morris
Ground Equipment

The STANDARD
Blyth
If the Blyth Standard reaches a
Dr. Annie Ross will you please
use this column to officially thank
her !jor play -ground equipment
given as a gift to the Blyth School
in 1921. Owing to the pressure of
business we are just now getting
around to officially thanking her
in the name of the School Board,
the- teaching staff and the kids.
In those days the school yard
was a barren desert of weeds,
clay and sick pasture grass with
one debilitated red poppy grow-
ing by a stone in the lee of the
front steps where kids seldom
played since the back door was
the official entrance to the class
rooms and the way in which most
mud could be carried in by small
feet atter a rain and left in win -
rows on the untreated floors.
Sometimes a cow or two wand-
ered around the school yard to
nlc,w the grass but left the weeds.
One cow had a bell that tinkled
drowsily while drowsy kids were
repeating the Seven 'Times Table
downstairs and kids upstairs were
trying to analyse a drowsy gram-
mar sentence or repeat an unin-
spiring amo, auras, anlrit, anamus,
annals, amant.
A Doctor Annie Ross cast an
eye over the desert and probably
compared it mentally with a
green campus at 0.A.C, in
Guelph. She presented us with
one net, four raquettes and four
tennis balls all shiny new. She
was probably one of those per-
sons who do not let. -their right
hand know what their left hand
cloeth or doneth so the gift was
given without warning and with-
out fanfare .. , . which probably
accounteth for the fact that she
was not officially or unofficially
thanked by anyone until this late
elate.
But tennis permits only four
persons to play at once and it ap-
parently requires a certain am-
ount of skill which some youthful
players acquired. The ninety-six
on -lookers who watched the four
players play soon discovered oth•
cr bats .with or without strings
and one (I think it was a George
Leith) discovered that a badmin-
ton birdie could be weighted ag-
ainst the wind by a small screw
nail screwed into the cork be-
tween the feathers and it could
be used outside quite nicely and
the game of "feather -bat" cane
into being, Rules of the game
were quite simple. Au imaginary
line would serve instead of a net
or a line scratched in the dust
was better still,
Usually four played at once
and the idea was to keep the bird•
ie in the air as long as possible
no hatter how high or how far
it was swatted, The first to let it
touch the ground was retired and
somebody else stepped out to de-
feat the Champeens. The game
could be fast and furious. Com-
plications finally arose after a
few weeks when somebody called
Taylor swatted somebody called
Craig on the bean and disciplin-
ary action was required from Au-
thority and that game was barred
temporarily . . partly because
of busted head incident but most.
ly because the screw nail that
weighted the birdie had a habit
of working tthrough and played
havoc tai`11 the gut of the Dr,
Ross tennis bats as well as the

Fire of undetermined origin
Wednesday morning destroyed the
barn on the farm of Mr, Harold
Badley, 9th concession of Morris
Township.
Blyth firemen were summoned
to he blaze al approximately ten -
thirty and when they arrived
shortly after, much of the south
side of the L-shaped building was
enveloped in flames. In a matter
of seconds the fire had spread to
the north side of the structure.
As a matter of fact, the flames
spread so rapidly, firemen were
forced to undergo a quick retreat
when the truck became in clanger
of the intense heat when the fire
spread to the north side,
Mr, Badley said the cattle had
been minced about twenty-five
minutes previous to the outbreak
and no livestock was trapped in
the burning building.
Fortunaely, this year's hay drop
is still in the field and will still
be availabe for use.
Firemen had just returned to
Blyth following the barn fire
when they were called to the
farm of Harold's brother, Lorne
Badley, about a mile east of the
village. Fire had started in the
stubble of a hay field on the
)'arm and was out of hand when
first noticed. 'Phe flames were
extinguished with little damage
recorded.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Fri1.tz Datema, 38 year-old far-
mer, one and a quarter miles east
of Auburn, miraculously escaped
death while milking his cows on
Friday evening when 'an eye beam
let go and a plow of baled hay
cane down pinning him beneath.
There was approximatel 1200 bal-
es in the 20 foot wide plow.
'['.he 35 cows were protected by
the stalls which held the beams
up but Mr. Daterna was across
one stall. His cries for help were
heard by his wife in the garden
and friends and neighbours were
summoned to move the bales. Dr
R. W. Street was summoned and
gave medical assistance but Mr.
Datenla was not hospitalized.
POPULATION FIGUiIES
RELEASED FOLLOWING
CENSUS TAKING
Mrs, Jinn Lawrie, census taker
for the village of Blyth, informs
us that her figures, effective
June 1st., show Blyth's population
at 793. The signs at the entrance
of our community now read 780,
so the 13 increase means slight
but certain progress.

Dear Mrs. McKay: -
1 do not thinkthat `Emily Post'
would object to the answering
your invitation in an informal
way.
The picture of the old school
brought back many happy mem•
cries, In our modern age its sim-
plicity is a joy. It ,fulfilled a
wonderful purpose. We received
an education that started us on
life's way.
How can we thank our parents,
the community, and the devoted
teachers, who taught an incon-
ceivable number of subjects! De-
partmental requirements were
rigid too.
I wish it were possible to be
present for the re -union. You are
aware of Father Phelan's condi-
tion. Since he cannot write I
told hint that 1 would include his
thanks and good wishes in this
letter.
Many thanks for your kind in-
vitation. May the re -union days
be blessed with fair weather,
health and happiness,
lllonsignor Phelan said that he
was writing himself.
May God bless each one. We
will be with you in thought.

Dear Mr. Shortreed:•

to be desired.
I must apologize for being so
tardy in acknowledging the invi•
ration to attend the School Re-

to drive down to Biy'th. In fact.
we drove through Blyth this af-

• TIIE SAILORS' LOT
I was reading the other day
an interview with a Canadian
seaman. IIe was telling a report-
er why he, and so many other
sailors are not happy with their
lot.
He mentioned a lot of things
that seemed petty at first glance:
coarse sheets on the bunks; crow-
ded quarters; not enough show-
ers; cheap soap; scanty recrea-
tional facilities
Not much of the spirit of
Drake and Nelson and rounding
Cape Horn there? Not !Ruch. But
then the truth came out. These
were only the minor irritants,
the little, concrete manifestations
of a deeper discontent.
A sailor's pay is good, compar•
atively. Most boats feed their
crews well, What really gets the
sailor down are frustration, bore•
d mr mnotonY and loneliness,
.
They suffer from the modern ma•
laise of the spirit that affects
many segments of our society,
As I read the article, I couldn't
help comparing the sailor's job
today with that of Ithe 1930's,
when I spent a spell on the Great
Lakes.
Today he works a 40 -hour
week, has a basic pay of nearly
$400 a month, and is protected
by a tough union, In those days,
he worked a 50 to 60.hour week,
picked up a handsome -cheque
for $40 at the end of the month,
and could be fired if he even
looked unhappy.
And perhaps that's why, if
memory serves, the sailor of
those days was a pretty ha)p1
character. He did a lot of grous-
ing, as sailors have done since
Ulysses and his crew left Troy,
but he also did a lot of horsing
around, and took life very un -
seriously.
Not many were married in
those days. They couldn't afford
IL They'd blow their 40 bucks
on beer and girls and poker in a
couple of clays, and then it was
penny -ante and practical jokes
and "makings" for the rest of the
month,
Today's sailor is a much glum
mer individual. IIc's more likely
to be married and have children.

ance and income .tax and dental

bills, like all the other suckers
in society.
Theoretically, he's 10 times
better off than t!1e deck1lland of
the 30's, He works a ‘viho1e lot
less and makes a great deal more.
1 -le is better fed and quartered.
I -Ie can watch television. He has
10 months away from the 01(1
batlleaxc and the kids, two mon-
ths holidays in winder, during
which lie is paid unemployment

What's wrong then? Welty is lie
griping, threatening to strike
every so often, wishing he had 0
shore job? It's simple enough.
Sailing is deadly dull, For offi-
cers and engineers, it's lively
enough. They have delicate ma-
chinery, decisions, responsibili-
ties, special skills.
But the deck -hand is the Poor
Bloody infantry of the inland
seas, His work is often dirty,
nearly- always monotonous, occa-
sionally dangerous, but hardly
ever heroic,
There's no going aloft to reef
the mainsail in the teeth of a
gale. He's more likely chipping
paint. There's no landing at exo-
tic foreign ports, hiring a rick-
sha and heading for the high
spots. I-le's more likely picking
his way across the railway tracks
in a dirty dock arca, heading for
a beer parlour.
He spends most of his waking
hours with a crowd just as brown-
ed off as he. And they curse and
play poker and grouse and watch
television crud and brag about
the shore job they could have

Report From Queen's Park
(By Murray Gaunt M,P.P,•
Huron -Brute) . •
The Legislature has moved in-
to its final week for this session.
The estimates of 111e Attorney
General carne before the House
on Tuesday.
The Attorney General, Honour-
able A. A. Wishart, pointed out
that the recent addition to the de -
pertinent, the Used Car Dealers'
Section, in its one year of opera•
tion has registered 2,985 dealers
and 8,916 salesmen. Eleven appli-
cations for dealers' licences were
refused while 66 applications are
under investigation with a simi-
lar number of applications having
been refused pending investiga-
tion in respect of salesmen. 378
written complaints were received
from various persons over the
year with some redress having
been obtained for the purchaser
in 175 cases, The balance of com-
plaints were either unwarranted
or of a nature which could not be
resolved.
A resolution was debated this
week dealing with the sale and
distribution of gasoline and other
petroleum products in Ontario.
I+t was felt by the Opposition
that a Select Committee should
look into, and study (1) the pric-
ing policy of wholesalers and
manufacturers, together with dif-
ferentials in price in various
Thousands of words have been
written about the now -famous
"White Paper" on broadcasting.
Here are some excerpts from
some metropolitan cailies.
In an editorial the Toronto Tel-
egram states: "Virtually ignored
are the main recommendations of
the Fowler Commission on Broad,
casting. Canadian broadcasters
and ,the general public can be
deeply thankful that the Govern-
ment h•as done just this. Not only
has the Government refused to
place all power in the hands of a
czar, as the Fowler Commission
has proposed, but it provides for
increasing the number of perma-
nent BBG members from three to
five."
Roy Shields in the Toronto
Star: "In Canada -the obscure
shillings of sand in a state -sup -
ponied broadcasting system re-
peatedly get front-page treat -
meat. And yet, nobody ever
seems to watch CBC programs
because they can gat "The Mun-
sters" and "Corner Pyle" and all
the big Hollywood shows ...."
Bob Blackburn in the Toronto
Telegram: "While no doubt the
most significant aspect of the
white paper is in the considerable
strengthening of the BBG, the
more dramatic one was the no
nonce approach lo the OBC. '11h'
corporation has :at times been al-
most contemp.ttous of the BBC's
authority over It and once came
close to making a federal case of
it (et ,the time- of the notorious
Grey Cup hassle,"
Nathan Cohen in The Toronto
Star: "The government white pa-
per on broadcasting is a disturb-
ing and ominous document, It
places the CBC in a tighter
straightcrjacket 'than ever."
1 an only sorry that Judy La
Marsh and the committee didn't
recommend the -abolition of the
55 percent Canadian Content law.

will discuss and suggest this
when it comes time for the legis-
lation in the Nouse of Commons.

adversely affected.
Sugar bents in the area are un-

are yielding at twist as well as
last year, but later sown peas
need more moisture, Paslpres are
beginning to suffer from the dry
conditions. Grain and canning
