New Years 1967
BLYTIr, ONTARIO — WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1967
By Rev, W. 0. Mather, B,A., B,D, — Blyth United Church
There is .the story about the tourist Who was driving the car
across country in Ireland and he became lost, Seeing a man
wolung at the side of Uhe road the decided to solicit his help.
He went to the man and asked the way to Kilkenny, The native
pondered for a moment and :then replied — "weld if 1 were
going to Kilkenny I would not start from here." Start from
here (Where we are) is \ghat we have to do, however in all
situations, both geographical and historical, •
Here we stand at the end of the first century of Canadian
history' We have inherited lots that is good and some that
is not so good from the first century of our history and that
we have to accept and build upon. We must start from here.
We can forgive our ancestors for tihe mistakes they made
but we have no right to expect that posterity wild forgive us
if we do not learn from their mistakes and turn aound and
repeat them, There is no excuse for permitting .the experiences
of history to be lost upon us.
There have been courageous souls in .the first century of
Canadian history, There were those Who dared to break with
tradition and venture out into a new path. It was no small
venture of faith that prompted the fathers of confederation and
much of that for Which they contended riot vigorous opposition,
We need more of that adventurous spirit as we move into 1967.
You do not honour the past by trying to perpetuate it but by
building a worthy structure upon it.
Another pressing need for the new year is a wide spread
sense of responsibility on the part of ordinary people, It
becomes increasingly difficult to find people who will accept
responsibility on school boards, in council, in community affairs
and even in church. It was the spirit of "Let George do it"
that gave Hilder his opportunity in the 1930s. God forbid that
that sort of thing should be part of our experience.
There is always need for people of integrity in all walks
of life if a better day is to dawn. In the latter days of the
\Scar there were many plans put forward for achieving a 'better
tvorlc1, Somebody made the observation that Il was unfortunate
that just when there was such a supply of fine blueprints,
that there should be such a shortage of good bricks with Which
to build. As somebody has put it, you can't make a good
omelet out of bad eggs. Now we need more than integrity of
course, but there is no substitute for integrity,
The course to which we commit ourselves in 1967 may
very well have a bearing 011 how happy future new years may
be for people of tomorrow.

THE ORDEAL IS OVER
of year --- between Christmas and New Year
people wish they were Moslems or Buddhists. Yes, th
Christmas caper is getting rougher and rougher, Worse ,than ti
Feast of Ramadan.
The main bout, Christmas itself, went off smoothly enoug
it's the preliminaries that almost murder us,
One of the first, and the worst, of them, was Christmas Cat
Night. The kitchen table was a melange of cards ,stamps, envelope
and lists,
About half the cards are no trouble at all, You merely sig
your name. But you're working with some leftover cards from la
year, some new ones, There's always the haunting fear that yo
sent exactly the same card, with the same message, to the sam
person last Christmas. This doesn't bother me, but my wife, knowin
what women are like about •these things, gots the trembles over i
It's the remainder of the cards, however, that turns the who]
hing into a bit of a nightmare. These are the cards to old friend
I)ach requires a cute, or sentimental, or witty note.
Try writing 50 such notes of an' evening, and it takes more ou
)f you than a day in the salt mines.
Such inanities, Such garbage. Such coyness.
You don't believe 11? A sample:
To a couple you mot on a trip six years ago, who live 1.,200 tittle
away, "We still remember the wonderful times we had. Why can
ve get together for a week end? Does Jim still do his famous trick
Our kids are certainly growing up. How about yours?
You know perfectly well they were dull as porridge, that yo
voulci take off like the Canada goose if you even dreamed the!' wer
oming to visit, that Jim was stoned and made a mess of his trick
You know your kids have grown up, but you're not even sure the
ave any kids. And you have to look up their last name in you
Christmas register.
It would be a lot more fun sending brief, pungent notes t
)olitical leaders and such, with messages like this: "Holicta;' greeting
Vihy don't you drop dead?"
Another of the preliminaries which grabs you where it hurl
s Christmas Tree Night. This is the annual event which makes m
estroy, with my family, lihe image which I have built up, so carefully
luring the preceding 12 months.
This event drives me into a frenzy which neither psychology
cience nor faith can explain. Id's not exactly a religious frenzy
hough 1 must admit the Lord's name comes up with awsome Ire
luency,
I've tried them all. Iron stands, aluminum stands, wooden stands
)uckets of coal. And the damn thing invariably winds up with th
ame list as a sailor on the sixth day of a seven-day leave.
The last, and not the least of the preliminaries is Gitt-Wrapping
ight. You wander around, having a drink and giving the Christina
ree the odd quiet kick while your wife gets the paper and present
ut.
Nothing fits. The expensive gold paper bought to wrap Aun
lo's present isn't big enough, and you wind up wrapping it in tha
heap junk from Woolworth's. Oh, well, there goes a $5,000 legacy
Then there's the pre -Christmas party, We-ve had one for the
ast six years. Ask me why and I'll explain to you why I'm not in
mental home. But high on the list for admittance,
You'll notice I haven't even mentioned Christmas shopping, which
s a form of self-destructive exercise, better 'than any y'et invented
or Christmas "music," which is neither music nor Chistmasy, Not
)hritmas lights on the crudely cedar on your front lawn.
Oh, well, the heck with it. It's all over now. But that doesn't
revent me from doing something pleasant, in the midst of all these
ains in the posterior.
I'd rather shake hands, or kiss you, depending on your sex.
ut I can't. To all my readers, from Newfoundland to the Yukon,
nd down to B,C,, and then across the prairies, and through the old
rovinces and down as far again as Shelburne, N.S.,' permit me to
y, "God bless and good heart."

Albert Nethery Recalls School Days On The bth Line
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1987
Of East Wawanosh Township
98 Oak Avenue,
Hamilton, Ontario,
December 20, 1960,
The Editor,
The Blyth Standard,
Blyth, Ontario,
Dear Editor:
It is always a pleasure to re-
ceive the Standard week by week.
While not very large, it contains
news of people whom one knows,
though we may not have met for
years.
However, all too often there's
sadness in the news; someone
whom we knew or went to school
with in the days of long ago has
passed away, And so it was that
I read the death notice of \Vilberl
Taylor with a pain in my heart.
My memory went back to the days
we spent in the old red school on
the farm of Robert Harrison, and
the games we played together.
I recall the little brook that ran
through the Harrison farm only
a short distance behind the school
yard and the tines we used to
follow it down to the second side -
road, Here it crossed the road
into the Henry Edwards farm
where it joined the Belgrave
Creek and then flowed into the
Ed Taylor farm (Wilbert's father

The wor'ld's most famous tele-
vision policeman will soon be back
on TV — and the only thing new
about him will be the fact that
he has been demoted,
Jack Webb , :star and producer
of the new half•hour, colour Drag-
net series, says that Joe Friday
will he the same man the fans
enjoyed ruing the series' prize-
winning days of the '50s.
But wthen the series went elf
the air in 1959, Joe Friday had
been promoted to lieutenant. 1-Ie'll
drop hack down to sergeant in
the new series,
"Having Jae Friday as a lieu-
tenant was a mistake, It limited
us too much," explains Webb, a
sdcklcr for reality, "The ser-
geants are the guys who do the
questioning and the leg work —
and that's what I want Friday to
be doing, so there goes his. pro-
motion."
Will there he plenty of gun•
fit'h s and scenes of Sgt, Friday
capturing wihole gangs of hoods
by himself? "Absolutely not,"
says Webb, "Los Angeles detec-
tives work in teams. They would
never, ►.aver try to pull off a
one-man gang round -up — and
neither will Joe Friday. Friday
and his panther will have to use
their guns once in a while, but
it will be, the exception rather
than the rule."
Webb say's he has two strong
reasons for demanding true and
believable action on the new
shows:
"First of all, because the aud-
ience has come to expect an hon-
est ,no -gimmicks, police show
from Dragnet — and secondly,
because if we started getting cute
and wild with the facts, the Los
Angeles Police Department would
slant their doors in my face,"
Webb says- that there are some
minor changes in his TV stories,
but they are only to protect people
who were innocently involved in
a crime, or even to protect a
former criminal who has served
his time and seems to be trying
to stay on a straight and narrow
pate.
"People are more interested in
law enforcement today than they
ever have been in the past," says
Webb. "We will show them how
it is actually done — with no
'poetic license' and no convenient
gunfights to solve the story,"
whom everyone called Big Ed to
distinguish him from the other
Ed who lived further down the
line). The creek continued
through the George Fothergill
farm and then crossed the third
sicleroad into the Sam Morton
farm. From here it crosses over
the sixth line to the north side
and finally ends up in the farms
of Harvey McDowell and his bro-
ther Graeme, ,joining the Mait-
land River on its way to Lake Hu-
ron.
However, 1 have get a long way
from my story. Wilbert and 1;
who were in the same class, had
three teachers, the first being a
Miss Sellers, then Sarah Irwin
from the tenth line, and then
Mary 1•Pall:iday from Morris Town-
ship, none of whom are now liv-
ing,
And then there came a day
when scam)] days \verc over for
us and we went out inti the world
to face we knew not what, In all
the intervening years Wilbert and
1 have mel only twice but the
memory of our old schoolmates
remains clear. So now I must bid
goodbye to one more of them;
year by year they grow fewer.
So sleep well, friend, for as
sure as there's a sunrise and a
sunset I know your life has been
well lived.
Yours truly,
Albert Nethery,

To the Editor,
Blyth Standard:
Wotnld you please publish the
following letter:
Again a year has passed into
history and we at I-Iuronview have
enjoyed another Merry Christmas.
As , usual our residents had the
pleasure of being entertained by
the (lee Club from the Ser-
geant's Mess of the Canadian
Forces 13asc and the Seaforth
Lions Club. The pupils of Walt-
on Public School were here, as
w11 as pupils from five of the
schools of McKillop Township and
each group put on a very enjoy-
able
njoyable program. 'Phe Christian Re-
form Church of Clinton were
faithful in presenting an hour of
fellowship.
The groups from the different
churches in the County certainly
did not forget the people wtho
came from their locality, but re-
membered them with many par-
cels. The Exeter Legion treated
all former residents of their
aea,
All this combined with the gifts
of many individual friends and
relatives made this Christmas one
long to be remembered. The per-
sonal calls and cards make our
residents feel they are not for-
gotten and that they arc still a
part of the community,
My personal thanks for jhe
many floral tributes sent to the
IIome during the past year. They
were appreciated by the residents
and helped to add a little beauty
to the surroundings.
A Hapy New Year to all from
the residents and staff of Huron-
view.

John Weir MacKay IIonoured
A former Auburn resident for
several years, John Weir MacKay,
17 year old son of Alr. and Mrs.
Duncan MacKay, of Sault Ste
Marie, has been recently honored
b:,- being appointed Pipe Major
of the air cadet band at Sault Ste.

grand nephew of Duncan MacKay
Sr., the grand old piper of Kin•
tail in years past who won sever-
al medals for piping in the Cale•
c'.onian games in Lucknow in the
1870's and 80's. John began his
piping career under the teaching
cif D. A, MacLennan, of Lochalsh,

ie joined the air cadets under -the
late Bob Smith from the Lucknow

of John and his piping and no

evenings practising and playing
his pipes,

Blyth Stores To Close
t 6:30 Satutdays
Blyth Merchants held a meeting
on Wednesday morning of this
week to decide on winter store
hours.
It was the decision of those
present to close Saturday even•
ings at 6:30 o'clock for the two
months of January and February,
Co►nmencing the first of ;larch
and running until the end of
April the nine o'clock closing hour
will go back into effect. And be.
ginning the first of May the stores
will remain open until ten o'clock
on Saturday nights until the end
of 11e year,
This is a new step for Blyth
merchants and is taken with a
sense of caution. Each change
that is made in shopping hours
is bound to create some confusion
among the shopping public and it
is the hope of all businessmen

that everyone in our district will
find the new winter tine hours
meeting with their approval.
During the dead of winter and
more particularly now with the
change that television and the
Saturday night hockey games have
made on the hours of shopping
by most of the general public, it
has become increasingly difficult
for those hiring help to make the
overtime hours profitable, frac•
tically all of the larger neigh•
homing communities have ceased
to remain open for night time
business during the winter months
and this is now spreading to our
smaller municipalities,
In any event, remember that
this Saturday night will see the
stores close at 6:30. So snake ar•
rangements to do your weekend
shopping as early as possible,

A Capsule Review Of The Past Year's Weather
(by Louis Stadleman)
As the end of the old year drew
near, the weather seemed to have
gotten mere old-fashioned. The
brand-new blanket of snow Santa
so wisely had ordered for more
efficient travelling in the busy
festive season, didn't stay unruf-
fled vert, long after he was back
at the North Pole, - Strong winds
picked up host of the very evenly
distributed 9 inches of snow we
had on the ground on Christmas
Day and blew it all over the
country side. The same snow,

«�hlalt brough such delight and
joy for -conning just at the nick'
of time, beeatne suddenly quite a
hindrance and a source of frustra•
tion, -
All in all 1966 was certainly a
good year weather-wise, The snow
didn't linger around too long in
the spring and things svorked out
fairly smodthly through seedling
and especially haying. It be-
came plenty dry during June and
the earlier part of July though,
and prospects with some crops
started to look rather hopeless.
Then it happened again, just in
time for harvest. Some people are
wondering about Nature's wisdom
when tt gets like that. Unfortun•
ally in my case I and finding more
and more reasons to suspect, that
to twist Mother -Nature's arm
Pretty strong attempts are made
oame that time, In Pact I am find•
ing evidence to support that sus•
picion. It just seems unfortunate
that harvest, which is a very fin -
portant operation 011 the farm, 13
coinciding with the time certain
Water -sheds should be replenished,
We all know the vital importance
of adequate water supply for the
hugely increasing population of
our big cities in North -America.
Right now Canadian weather is
still protected by law from inter-
ference on a large scale anyway,
If this isn't the case in the U.S.
what's a couple hundred miles
for a cloud, Which has been suffi•
ciently seeded, when the right
wind is pushing it our way.
In spite of some people's pessi•
mistic outlook on present and fu-
ture weather because of modern
man's mostly indirect effect on
11, statistics on our climate are
pretty reasuuring. Yearly sum-
maries certainly are. The total
amount of rain and snow, includ-
ing the number of sun hours and e
heat units, actually do not vary
appreciably from year to year.
What does, is the time and length
of those inevtilable wet or dry
spells. Some 1965-1966 weather
data are a typical example of it.
Last y'ear's amount of snow was
97.7 inches, eompred to 95.2 the
previous year. The simularity is
even greater with the tempera.
ture, The mean maximum tem-
peratures were respeetivcly 69.5
and 69.3 degrees during the last
two years, while the mean (aver.
age) temperature only varied
from 43 degrees in 1965 to 43,4
degrees last year. Only a little
more difference between the
number of heart units and hours
of recorded bright sunshine in
the same period. In 1966 the sun.
shine recorder registered 1025
hours of bright sun compared to
1730 hours the year before. Al-
though last year was as good a
corn year than any, heat units
were slightly lower then the year
before. 3072,5 units were regis•
tered in 1966, 3134 in 1965, Wea-
ther phenomena like thunder-
storms, high rinds, blizzards,
frosts and freezing rains, were
neither loo drastic nor especially
frequent. last year.
Maximum depth of snow on the
ground was 12 inches on the 31st
