Zone Chairman John Campbell Paid
Official Visit To His Home Club
The Blyth Lions Club held their
regular meeting in the Memorial
Hall last Thursday evening. Pres-
ident Charles Shaw was in charge
of the meeting and the Ladies
Auxiliary to the Blyth Royal Can-
adian Legion catered to a lovely
dinner,
Highlight of the evening was
the official visit of Zone Chair-
man Jack Campbell, who was vis-
iting .his 'home club in that capa-
city. He congratulated the Lions
on the work that had been done
during the past year, He said
that when you receive reports
from all the. Lions Clubs in the
Zone, it was amazing to see the
work that was being done in our
district,
The main topic of the business
portion of the meeting was, of
course, the present artificial Ice
campaign. Lion John Manning
reported for the commitee and
said they were very pleased with
the supponit of the people so far
to date. A complete campaign
of the district has been planned
for the next few weeks and the
co-operation of all Lions was re-
quested to help snake it a success.
Two dances have been arrang-
ed for in aid of the ice campaign,
The first of these will take place
in the Memorial Hall on February
17th, The club plans to again
hold their smorgasbord dance and
April 4th has been set as. a tenta-
tive date. The proceeds from
this dance wil also go to the ice
fund. There is also the possibil-
ity of a March dance in aid of
the same project but no date has
been set. The club hopes that
all of these functions will receive
the whole hearted support of dist•
rict residents.
The President announced Uha1
the Saturday night hockey draws
would commence this year on
February llth, This is a week
later than previous years. The
reason for this being because
there will not be a game in Tor-
cnto on February 4th,

projects were discussed, Includ•
cd in these was a summer carnival
but all were held over to be (Hs -
cussed at /a later meeting,

JUST A STARTER
In recent years, there has been a great deal of criticism of
education in this country, from both outside and inside the system.
It doesn't take a Ph.D. to realize that a whale of a lot of it is
justified. And I speak as a parent, tax -payer, and teacher.
Only by frantic efforts and vast infusions of money have
we managed to keep our system a mere couple of decades behind
the times.
I know it's easy to indulge in hindsight. But holy old
jumpin' Jupiter, surely there could have been a little foresight
somewhere along the line. Look what we have: shortage of build-
ings, shortage of teachers, shortage of just about everything except
pupils. And a vast surplus of them. This didn't happen overnight.
They weren't all horn last summer. It was all there 20 years ago,
perfectly obvious to anyone who could add and multiply. The only
people doing any multiplying were the parents,
And the crazy part of it is that we keep urging the kids
to stay in schools which haven't enough room for the new crop
arriving. "Drop-out" has become almost synonymous with "delin•
quent." It doesn't matter whether they're doing any work, or
learning anything, or are just being bored silly. They're told to
stay in school until, through sheer old age and the tidal wave push-
ing from behind, they get a magic piece of paper that will open a
golden door to success.
Chiefly to blame are parents. They have my sympathy.
Many of them remember the great depression. Many other honestly
believe material security means happiness. But far, far too many
of them, delude themselves. They insist that Jack, who wants
nothing more than to get out of school and become useful and
happy as a salesman or a policeman, has the makings of a great
surgeon, because he has always got more than 60 marks in science.
Or that Jill, a born wife and mother, who wants nothing more than
to get married, should struggle through a course in psychology,
because she's always been a first-class babysitter.
Almost equally to blame are the big industries and institu-
tions, from oil companies to hanks, They are too lazy, or too cheap,
or both, to interview young people and hire them on what they are
It's much easier, and a lot cheaper, just to say, "We don't :'ant
anybody unless he has at least a Grade 12 certificate," even it all
they want him to do is stick square pegs in round holes,
Another thing vastly wrong with enducation is the way it
is financed. Let's take a couple of examples. Here's an elderly
couple on a small, fixed income, After years of struggling, they
own their own house. They pay $400 a year in municipal taxes.
About half of that is for education, even though they've paid taxes
for years to educate their own children or, if childless, somebody
else's.
This system makes a mockery of the concept that every
child has the same educational opportunities. Don't try to tell me
that the kid in a poor hush town in the north has the same facilities,
options and quality of teaching as the kid in a rich suburb. He simp-
ly does not. Money makes the difference.
And speaking of inequalities, isn't there something quite
ridiculous in a country of 20 million having 10 separate and distinct
educational systems? Much larger countries have one system, and
yet have far more diversity and opportunity within that one than
we have with our 10 rigid and separate ones. It is provincialism,
literally and figuratively.
Rigidity is another thing that sticks in my craw. We have
rigid curriculums, rigid timetables, rigid divisions of the school
year, and anything else rigid that avoids difficulty and keeps the
vast, Victorian vehicle shambling along somehow.
You know what? I'm getting a little worked up about this.
But you can't keep a good belch down, and I've been developing
Indigestion over the whole business for some time.
So rather 'than galloping off in all directions, let's say this
is the first of a series of articles on education by a plain, ordinary
layman. I'll het you can hardly wait for next week's thrilling in.

Report From Queen's Park
(By Murray Gaunt, MPP,
Huron -Bruce)
Premier John Robarts, at the
opening of Parliament this week,
predicted a long and active ses-
sion of the Ontario Legislative.
The Throne Speech contained
many promises of legislation.
The Ontario Housing Corpora-
tion is prepared to start a crash
program aimed at providing sev.
eral thousand new homes across
the province by the end of this
year. The Province's plan, called
"Home Ownership Made Easy" or
"HOME" for short, provides for
government purchase of raw land
that would be leased lot by lot to
home buyers.
This would cut payments by as
much as half, particularly in the
larger urban areas, because buy-
ers
uyers would only have to worry
about the cost of the house alone,
The Government would buy
the land and lease it to the indi•
vidual ihomeowner or private
builder for a modest interest rate,
The lessee would be able to pur-
chase'
ur•chase' the lot outright any time
he wished,
Other areas that are going to
receive attention in the coming
session are as follows:
EDUCATION. Larger and more
flexible grants for public and
high schools.
HEALTH. The Government
will provide eight regional diag-
nostic and treatment centres for
emotionally disturbed children;
a new Mental Health Act; more
Government aid for community
health services; new capital and
ea
Jt� W
operating grants for medical re•
search facilities.
AGRICULTURE. Capital grants
will be extended to cover wells,
farm drainage and certain build-
ings, The consolidation of small
uneconomic farms will be inter-
sified.
LABOUR. A new labour stan•
dards code will be introduced and
the construction safety program
strengthened with additional
staff. A body of labour, manage•
ment and Government represen•
tali 'es will explore the industrial
relations field.
It is certainly going to' be, an
active session. As to how long it
will be is the responsibility of
the Premier and his tinning of an
election.

LIFE'S AUTUMN
There's an old old apple orchard on a sunny grassy hill,
And an old stone cottage housing two old folk with young hearts still,
He is tall and gnarled and sturdy as the oak beside the door;
She is small and light and winsome as she was in days of yore.
They have never been to college, but they both should have degrees
In the arts of gracious living, and in life's philosophies.
He knows more of agriculture than was ever learned by rule,
And her skilled domestic science isn't taught in any school.
They live happily and fully; they have worked their pattern out,
Now their days of toil are over, and they're free from care and doubt,
Sitting out beside their doorway, they can watch the setting sun
Going down behind the maples that they planted, every one.
The can 'sing again the old songs with voices sweet and true,
And can talk of old old happy times they've shared the long years
through,
How much more is fame or power, or what more could money fitly
Than long years of working, loving, and a peaceful sunset sky?
When was the first sporting
event televised? I didn't know un-
til I read it in a U.S. newspaper
recently. The game was baseball
and it was 27 years ago.
And how were the ratings? At
that time there were 60 sets in
New York ,and 60 sets were tuned
in.
Dan Carmichael was the win-
ning pitcher for the Princeton
baseball team. At present he is
an architect five days a week and
an auto driver on the week -ends.
He rarely misses the National
Amateur Golf Gham.pionship,
One of the reasons he enjoys
amateur golf so much is watching
the young golfers. He claims that
television has had a lot to do with
it. "Golf has benefitted from
TV. So has bowling, And there's
a lot of interest in tennis these
days that has to be traced
in part to television," he said,
In the last National amateur he
had a three -round • total of 227
which is not bad for a guy who
never practices.
, Incidentally, Ithe match was
won by Kitchener's Gary Cowan.
And while we are on the sub-
ject of sports it will be interest-
ing to see what will happen next
year in the hockey world, The
present NHL teams will play
some games with the new teams
which will begin next October.
Here are some questions which
hockey fans will want answered:
Will Saturdays and Wednesdays
remain as "hockey nights in Can-
ada?" If these are retained, will
other evenings be added either
by CBC, CTV or one of the Am-
erican networks? Will more than
one American network take an
interest in professional hockey?
Is it possible that we could see
NHL hockey almost every even.
ing of the week?
This could happen IF hockey
catches on with the Americans,
Not next year, but maybe in a
year or two.

OEd Man Winter Persists With
Stormy Weather
Well we no more than got rid
of all our ice and snow last week
when we were treated to another
ripper of a snow storm on Thurs•
day and Friday.
On Thursday morning of last
week there was hardly a speck
of snow to be seen on the main
street. By Friday morning heaps
of the white stuff could be seen
lining the old main drag.
Friday saw practically every
type of weather imaginable; hail,
snow, rain and sleet. And al.
though rain fell most of the day.
the temperature varied too rapidly
between freezing and not freez-
ing that sleet damage was fortun-
ately of little consequence. The
people in Southern Ontario were
not quite so fortunate as heavy
Fleet caused considerable damage
to hydro lines.
This week is bringing some ex-
ceptionally fine weather and on
Monday the sun is shining bright-
ly even though temperatures have
remained on the cool side. But
it our future weather remains
consistent with what we have re-
ceived to date, we will no doubt
be experiencing a mild spell be-
fore very long and snow will
again be a scarce article.
You may wonder why we keep
mentioning local weather condi•
tions, especially when they are
the kind of reports that most of
us would like to forget. But we
do it to let our friends wintering
in the sunny southland know just
what they are missing by chicken -

Check Your Lable Date, Please
Once again the time has arriv
cd for the changing of The Stan-
dard's mailing list, This job has
been completed and all changes
have been made effective Monday.
Jsnuary 30th.
The response to our last appeal
for payment of subscriptions has
been very heartening to say the
least and we offer our sincere
appreciation to those who were
'so kind to give the matter their
prompt attention, Because of
this fact, a great many changes
have had to be made in the list
and this, of course, greatly en-
hances the chance of error. Be-
cause of this we ask you to please
check the label on this paper to
make sure the change of date does
zppear. If you have paid your
subscription and the change has
not been effected, please notify
us as soon as possible so this
can be rectified.
There is, of course, a few, and
we might add a very few, who
still seem reluctant to "pay up."
We can'•t understand how these
people can be so hard up that
they can't afford to pay a mere
two dollars and fifty cents a
year to receive this newspaper.
If they were living in some com-
munities they would find this
price doubled. And we are afraid
that the way costs have been
rising lately in the newspaper in•
dustry, that some change will
have to be made in our sub-
scription rates in the not ton
distant future.

OMA President Denies His Association Is
Responsible For Medical Insurance Problems
The PresLdent of the Ontario
Aledical Association denied that
the OMA is • responsible for the
inefficiency of the Ontario Med-
ical Services Insurance Plan.
Dr, Ross Matthews,. of- Pcterbor-,
ough, was replying ,to .statements
made in Loncton .by John White,
member of the Ontario Legisla-
ture for London -South: During
and following a speech to. the.
national affairs committee of the
London Chamber of Commerce:
Mr. White criticized the OMA for
advising doctors to bill their pa•
stents rather than OMSIP. He said
OMSIP was not working as effec-
tively as it could, and that pay.
ment of accounts was delayed by
the doctors' actions.
Dr, ,Matthews replied that, on
the authority of OMSIP officials,
and on the basis of experience,
the method of billing has had no-
thing whatever to do with delays
in payment of accounts. "As a
matter of fact," Dr, Matthews
said, "in some cases patients have
received their cheques from OILS
1P and paid their doctors more
promptly than OMSIP has been
able to pay doctors directly."
"The Ontario Legislature, of
which Mr. White is a member,
\Visci;,' omitted from the Medical
Services Insurance Act any re•
striction on the freedom of pa-
tient ancl physician," Dr. lla,t.
thews said. It should not be stir -
prising. therefore, that some doe -
tors u'ei wish to reinforce a per-
sonal relationship with their pa-
tients are billing their patients
directly."
Dr. llatthews said neither phy
sians nor patients should be de-
terred- from • exeroising their
rights. "Mr. White's implied
threat that. the direct billing of
patients may result in 'a more ex-
, (ratite federally -operated plan' •
merel,' gives them added reason
to maintain those rights,"

25 Blind Canadians Have
"Seen Canada Grow"
Celebrating a 100th birthday is
history for 25 blind Canadians.
"These people saw Canada grow-
ing. They are a living source of
information for Canada's Centen-
nial year," said Mr. Jack Clements,
Field Secretary for The Canadian
National Institute for the Blind,
in an interview for White Cane
Week sponsored by the CNIB and
The Canadian Council of the
Blind.
Four blind centenarians who
live in B.C., were in their teens
when that province joined Con-
federation in the early 1870's,
Ontario's 8 and Quebec's 5 were
born when the 2 provinces were
one. Four blind residents of the
Atlantic provinces might have
been carried in their mother's
arms to see the Fathers of Con•
federation on their way to the
Charlottetown Conference. The
4 elderly blind settlers of the
Prairie provinces probably re-
member 'herds of buffalo roaming
the wilderness, And to two resi-
dents of the far north, the gold
rush was just yesterday,
"lit is undoubtedly true," ad-
ded the CNIB Field Secretary,
"that these people pioneered this
country with a simple desire to
build successful lives, regardless
of the hardships, a philosophy
N-hicih gave courage when blind-
ness occurred."
The CNIB representative went
on to illustrate. "One of these
blind old-timers lost his sight
when he was sixteen, In 1877,
forty years before the founding
of the CNIB. He went to the On-
tario School for the Blind, stu-
died piano tuning and was a mem-
ber of that school's first gradu-
ating class. He owned What is
thought to be the first Braille
watch in Canada as early as 1882.
Ise joined .a piano company and
later in 1925, started his own busi-
ness. Ise was 63 then, at an, age
`Olen most nen are looking for-
ward to retirement. Taking an in.
terest in his fellow blind, he ser-
ved on CNIB Boards to make sure
that the youth of today have the
services he Was denied."
"The good life we enjoy now,"
the Field Secretary concluded, "is
due to men like these old pion-
eers ts'ith pick, shovel, and yes
even piano tuning instruments,
ctiho made this country what it is
today."
