The largest crowd the arena has seen for many years was on hand to witness the event. And, we might add, shouldn't have been disap- pointed with what they saw. 'rhe over fifty members of the local club presented an excellent display of figure skating, consid• ering this was their first year of instruction. The theme of the carnival was "Toyland" and the lovely decorations in the arena, along with the colourful costumes worn by the participants, was Brough in itself to make the event a success. Several members of the Exeter Figure Skating Club journeyed to Blyth to offer their assistance with our first carnival and they added greatly to the show, The main attraction was Miss Glenda Boughner, a 15•year-old member of the Kitchener -Water• loo Figure Skating Club. We aren't sure if her audience appre• elated the fact or not, but they had the privilege of watching one of the finest female figure skaters in Canada perform, Miss Doughtier was one of the partici• pants in the Canadian figure skat• ing finals in Vancouver last year. She presented an excellent dem• onstration of figure skating, and with a little more experience, one can readily realize she just might be a gold medalist in the 1972 Olympic Gaines. A11 in all it was a very fine program and the members of the organization are to be commend- ed on a job very well done, Mr. and Mrs Major Younghlut's Grandson Drowned At Belleterre, Que.

Auburn Area Farmer Questions Current Farm Market Prices Box 58 Auburn, Ontario, March 15, 1968 The Editor, The Blyth Standard, I3lyth, Ontario, Dear Sir: - 1 am a family farmer operating a Dairy and Beef operation plus cash crop and custom work of any sort. Our milk is at Pres• ent sold as industrial milk plus a subsidy allotted to us when our dairy herd was smaller. We have just completed our book records for the year 1967, .and I might state here that our books are above reproach, being maintained diligently throughout the year right down to a nickle one way or the other. Our net operation for the year came out to under thirty cents per hour for time worked! With no ex- pense taken out as yet for a fain• ily of four to live! ' To say that we live frugally is potting it mildly, While we are in the dairy business, yet we use skim milk on the table, We all work hard for long hours every day of the year, and we are as efficient as any farmer in this area. For recreation we worship the Lord in spirit and in truth, and I have had one week's holi- days from 'work In seven years! I love to watch the hockey games on T,V., but our set has been out of commission for four years now, and we cannot afford to get it fixed, Our Liberal Government are lib. oral all right, as far as they are concerned. They have doubled their own salaries plus large in• creases in tax•free travelling al. lowances, as they put it. But what are they doing for us? Our cash crop wheat enterprise last .year, .while all harvested, left us $11.00 an acre in the red! They say to put on crop insur- ance; we are unable to pay the. premium. They say that Canada can use an additional 245,000,000 bushels of soya beans over .what we grow: yet they let trillions of bushels flood in 'from the States, where the U.S. 'Treasury subsidize the farmers there to the extent of $60,00 per acre not to grow crops! O'ur price consequently was cul by fifty cents per bushel. How can we compete against that? No more beans for us until this situation is straightened out. In our arca, we cannot gross $60.00 per acre on the average of all crops before operating l^osts • Including seed), fertilizer, taxes, fuel depreciation, etc., are even taken into consideration. All our socalled experts on ag- riculture say to expand opera. tions, Yet we see these big oper• ations being foreclosed on right and left every year- because they are unable to meet their com• mitments, It is one thing to put on a big front on borrowed mon• ey, but. it is quite another thing to pay off these accrued debts on our present standard of farm prices, while our costs of machin- ery, repairs, etc, continue to rise every year, and the prices paid for almost all of our products produced have lowered. It cer- tainly does not take a college degree to see where this leaves the thousands of farmers like us! You call yourselves Farm Pub. lication Editors, 1 challenge you all to publish this truthful anti• cle in its entirety In order that the general public can get the facts of our existence and do something .about It, Yours very truly, Clare Longhurst, Auburn, Ontario, List Corrected The mailing list of the Stand- ard has been brought up to date and we would like to thank those wlio have given the renewal of their subscriptions such prompt attention, Because of this fact, the changes made were many and we would ask you to please check the label on this paper for pos. sible error, If you have paid your subscription during the past eight weeks, the change should now be in effect.

They looked forward to the outing, a change 'frons the classroom. It was quite an experience. There were about 500 normal, noisy teen-agers in the theatre', altogether. Normally this is asking for bedlam. Modern kids, conditioned by television, are equally inclined to laugh jar• ringly, mockingly, at scenes of horror and scenes of poignancy. Brutality and violence are their daily bread. But after the reels began spinning on Monday morning, there weren't any laughs. When the lights went up, there was none of the usual horse -play, There were 500 shaken, subdued and in some cases stunned teen-agers, The film was "The War Game," a short .British movie. It depicts, in a matter-of-fact documentary style, what would hap- pen if a nuclear exchange broke out. No excruciating detail is spared, Blatantly antiwar, it is a bitter satire on our society and man's stupidity. The film is crude. the message blunt, and the effect harrowing. The 1313C banned it as too shocking to be shown to the public on television. It's all there: the public ignorance; the government apathy; the triggering incident; the profiteer •who sells sandbags at an ex. orbitant rate; the man with two bomb -shelters and a shotgun to keep others out; the little boys whose eyeballs turn to jelly when he sees the flash; the ordinary family crouched, like terrified animals, under the kitchen table; the fire -storm that destroys everything in its path; the grotesque burned faces; the people shocked into idiocy; the breakdown of law and order. Carefully juxtaposed with pictures of children whimpering with pain and shock are the calm, pompous statements of bishops who say we must learn to live with the bomb, and a jovial nuclear scientist who explains how many millions will be killed. What's the purpose, you may ask, for subjecting well-fed, hourgeois teenagers to such an experience, Well, it's rather like Fhock treatment. It makes them wake up, examine their values. :hink about the world and the part they must play in it, rather than v. hat they'll wear to the dance Friday night, We talked about it later. 'I''hey thought it shouldn't be racn by children, but that everyone else in the world, on both sides ,if the fence, should see it. They tried to explain why there is comparative silence these days about the I3omb and fallout, compared with the obsession with it, and the wave of shelter -building, that occurred a decade ago. We discussed the moral implacations of shooting people who '.;anted to share your shelter. Of the police in the film shooting victims of burns who had only a few hours to live, and those hour .a extreme agony. Of what they, themselves, could do about it all. Some of them were shaken out of their cosy, conformist little sox, Others were overwhelmed by a feeling of futility, And >.ome were filled with a fury at the idiocy of their elders, who had ;allowed this to happen. And others were just plain seared and wanted to know what preparations we were taking for such an eventuality, And a few believed that man could prevail and over• come the evil, We ranged from Vietnam to hippies and escapism, from morality to the instinct for -survival, from whether they could rather be Red than dead to what they would do if the Yanks decided they :Lust take over Canada, for their own military safety (Most of the boys would fight, take to the hills), 1 think it was good for them, The world of the future is theirs and they can't go on blaming us forever. See the film yotu'• self, if you can. But take a paper hag if you have a weak stomach.

OBITUARY GEORGE I. COOK lir. George Ernest Cook, a long- t1111e resident of the 13elgrave 0I'erl, passed away in Victol'ia hospital, London, on Monday, )larch 11, 1968. 110 was in his 77th year, and had been ill for more than two months. Mr. Cook was born in East Wa• aunosh 'Township, a son of the late John Cook and his wife, the former Isabel Rodger. In 1915 he married Ivy ,Alar• gal'e't Cuolt, of East \Va\Vanosh, and they farmed at lot. 1, conces- sion 4, Morris Township, since 1922. Surviving besides his wife are three sons, Wesley, at home; Nor. man and Charles, of 13elgrave; and eight daughters, Annie, at home; Airs. James (Elsie) Walsh, il.11, 3. Blyth; Mrs, William (Mot'. ence) A1cArber, lt,R. 4, Brussels; Mrs. Ben (Nora) Huskinson, Cal lander, Ontario; Mrs, Muriel Bos. man, Sault Ste Marie; Airs. .lames (Mildred) Paton, of Alos- ley, Ontario; Mrs. Allan (Ev.

The -funeral service was 1101(1 at the Walker Funeral Home in Wingham, on Wednesday, March 13, conducted by Rev, John '1', Roberts, at 3,30 p.nn., with inter• ment in the Wingham Cemetery chapel. The pallbearers were, Messrs. Morden, Arnold and Harold Cook, (loss Robinson, Alvin Snell and Alex Nethery. P1o\verbearcrs were, grandsons, Douglas and Ronald Cook, Murray and Donald Walsh, and David Bosman. Sault Ste. Marie. Even the best performers ap• pear occasionally in poo' shows, It's impossible to be consistently good. •Jack I3enny's variety hour last week fell into that class, It was billed as a "carnival of con• edy" but there were few laughs in it for me. Benny has always been a favor- ite of mine. Ale was lops in ra• dio every Sunday night for years and years. Although he was nev• er what you could call a great nno• tion picture star, he made many movies and his fans enjoyed them. He maintained a show on. lelevis• ion which kept up his image for several more years, Then came his announcement to retire and do a few specials dur• ing the television fall and winter seasons, Perhaps there were too many guest stars appearing with Benny in this special.

L(. .Jn FROM THE MINISTER'S STUDY LAST WILL John 19: 26, 27 The Gospel of Luke tells us that during our Saviour's Passion "all those who knew Jesus personally, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood off at a distance to see these things." When the end was drawing near, the soldiers gave permis• cion to come closer and John and a little group of believing women •— among them Mary the mother of Jesus -- for a while stood be• side the Cross. ,Mary so witnessed the agony of the Man nailed to the beams, hong up in the blazing sun. And the Sufferer was her Son, Could any sword pierce the soul as hers was pierced now? And then Jesus, taking His farewell of the world, makes a last arrangement, Ile will not. leave His mother unprovided for. ,Joseph is dead, and there is none to look after her, His best loved disciple is at the foot of the Cross —• so good a son is worthy of such a mother and to hila .)esus offers her: "Woman, here is your son." Then He said to the disciple, "here is your mother." And from that time the disciple took her to live in his home, The meaning of this third word, spoken by our Lord from the ('toss is simple! There is no hope, except in the Saviour Jesus Christ. Mary, who had been honored of God, visited by an angel (Hail, Mary, thou art highly favoured, the Lord Is with thee, blessed art thou among women) --- she found hope not in the memory of these high privileges but in the mercy of a Saviour, who died for her. A worthless, guilty thief discovered himself equal to blessed Mary in I:10 privileges of grace. We must take our place with them, with Mary and the thief, on the same sin•level, and look to Jesus for for. p1V('ness 811(1 life. Then: John the disciple found his high calling in substituting for and serving the Lord Jesus. Serving Jesus Christ as our Lord ;end Ring will be useful too as believers and we will find our place in God's plan, for time and for eternity. Illi I jIP411111!'41 K.

(By Raymond R. Canon) TIIE UNWANTED How would you define a refu• gee? The dictionary says that a refugee is one who flees to a re- fuge - especially ane who flees from Invasion, persecution or pol- itical danger, Well, ane the big- gest and potentially most danger- ous groups of refugees In the world is the Palestinian Arabs. Thrust in the middle of the ex- plosive atmosphere of the Middle East, more than a 'million Arabs live in poverty, and their very presence remains one of the major sources of friction between bra - el and the Arab countries. We as Canadians have a direct interest in these people for sev- eral reasons. First, as these ref- ugees are a definite cause of con - tinned strife in the Middle East, and therefore a threat to world peace, it is in our best interests to do •what we can to alleviate their condition. Secondly, since 1950 the Canadian government has paid out a sum of over 21,000,000 dollars for the upkeep of these people • an amount exceeded on- ly by the United States and the United Kingdom, and exceeding the entire amount paid during the same period by all the Arab coun- tries combined, .Finally, at has been suggested in some quarters that, for humanitarian reasons, we might take a few of these 'Ar- abs and settle them in Canada. The plight. of these poor people is made worse by the fact that the Arab countries have never really recognized the existence of a Jewish nation, For years these refugees have been led by their Arab brethren to expect that, at some unspecified date in the fut- ure, the Jewish people living on the lands formerly occupied by these refugees will be driven out, and they can once more return to the lands they once owned. The other Arab states use this argument as a reason for not ac- cepting them within their own borders. 'On the other hand, Is - reel, which has already an Arab population of over a quarter of a million within its borders, sees any attempt to relocate these ref- ugees on Jewish soil as n profound threat- to the security of the country, This argument has a certain validity, when it is re- membered that, in general, feel- ings among the Palestinian Arabs against the Israelis run very high, Thus the U.N. has found itself with another problem on its hands which is seemingly with- out solution.

What are we as Canadians go. ing to do about, all this? For one thing, as a member of the U.N., we will have to continue giving financial aid to support these people, since many other countries are unable to do so and others feel so strongly one way or another that they refuse to give any aid whatsoever, Induct. ed in this latter group is the Soviet Union, who has adamantly refused to grant any support to the refugees, since it opposes Is- rael's viewpoint in the matter, 'Phe paradox is that the Russians helped set up the organization within the U,N. which adminis• tors 'to the needs of these refu- gees. The second possibility open to Canada is to take a token group of these people and settle them in this country. The number would have to he small by nee- essity since these people would be entering a country whose ways are far different from their own. There are, however, enough Can- adians of Arab descent that these immigrants -would not he without friends, While this step would not admittedly, do much to solve the problem, it would set an ex- celled example for other coun• tries, It would, in addition, serve the purpose . of.:showing. the ref. ugees that someone is definitely interested in their plight, and would help to lessen their bitter feelings against Israel, But no real solution to the pro. blem is in sight, and most of these refugees can expect to spend many more years in the hot hu. mid refugee camps, of Palestine.
