Barbecue Was
Very Successful
'l'he chicken barbecue last Fri-
day night sponsored by the Blyth
and District . Conservation Club.
and held at their club house in
East Wawanash Township, could
not be termed anything but ex-
tremely successful,
Although ,the weatherman did
not co-operate completely with
the event, he" didn't hamper pro-
ceedings that much either. You will
recall that last week we suggest-
ed that taking the good woman
to the barbecue would be a great
way to help her beat the heat —
what with the excellent shade
trees on the lot surrounding tltt
club house, Well, as you might
expect, the .weather cooled off
considerably. and the threat of
rain forced the members to choose
the cover of the old school to
serve the meal.
The threat* of showers did little
to hamper the spirits of area res-
idents however, much to the relief
of the association, In fact, so
many came :'that the food supply
dwindled so; badly that several
were turned away.
We can verify the fact that the
food was excellent and the even•
ing most enjoyable. 'Perhaps,
with the .success enjoyed this
year, the Conservation Club will
make the barbecue an annual
event, If they do, it won't hurt
too many feelings, and we would
suggest you getting there plenty
early next .year to ensure an am•
pie supply of._ the goodies.
HorneF'torrf'TWo-
Years In Africa
Air. and Mrs. Stewart Toll,
Terry and Warren, have returned
home to Canada from Africa,
where they have resided for the
past two years.
While in Africa, Stewart acted
as an advisor to the Board of
Eudeation in that country.
While Stewart was in The Stand•

pala Chevrolet which costs ap-
proximately four thousand dollars
in Canada, retails for eight thous-
and three hunched dollars. This
seems bad enough, but when you
learn that thirty-five dollars per
month is extremely good pay for
the average African houseboy, one
can readily realize just how for-
tunate we are to be living in this
country.
Stewart also told us of the mud
and -cow manure shacks that the
natives reside in, and that a steel
roof on these houses instead' of
the usual grass one was the mark
of success.
All of the houses in the cum•
munity In which the 'lolls lived

ows to discourage breakins. And
even %vith the bars, windows had
to be closed during the night time

It must certainly have been an

Ken McDougall Has Close Call With
Lightning Bolt
Ken McDougall came as close
to a battle with a lightening bolt
last Wednesday as anyone would
care to come and still be around
to tell of it, Although, as Ken
told us, things happened so fast
and the actual damage was done
before he realized it, that even
he has trouble remembering just
what happened.
Ken is employed driving a wat-
er truck for Radford's Construc-
tion Company and had stopped
the vehicle on the side of the road
in the village of 13ruceffeld in
order to wait out the storm, While
he was sitting there lightening ap.
parently hit the vehicle, or some-
thing immediately adjacent to it.
As a result of the blast, the
window on the drivers side of the
truck was completely dlsintigrat•
ed and Ken was thrown uncons-
cious to the other side of the
seat.
The charge from the lightening
bolt caused the siren to ring on
the nearby Brucefield fire hall
and also knocked out telephones
in the immediate area.
Although Ken was able to pick
glass fragments from inside his
shirt, he was not seriously in•
jured with only three slight cuts
on his one hand. He told the
Standard he feels fine with no
apparent effects from the acci•
dent, although he still finds it
rather difficult to walk as the
shock has given his legs a rubbery
effect. This will leave In a mat•
ter of a short time.

50th ANNIVERSARY PARTY AT
HOME OF MRS. TED IIUNKING
SUGAR
and
SPIcE
By Bill Smile) am+
A MEMORABLE DAY
This is being written from a little place that most of you
know, I visit it quite often, especially in the summer. It's called
Wit's End. And that's where I'm at.
Just recovering from a .three-day wedding. The ceremony took
only about 15 minutes. But there were preliminaries. They were
bad enough: the terrifying ordeal of buying my first new suit in
eight years; getting lost on the v.ay to church, in a strange city
However, it's not the preliminaries of a wedding that make
you arrive at Wit's End. It's the post•liminaries.
One of them is kneeling on a stool beside me, watching as
I peck away with those two worn-down old fingers. He's six years
uld, precocious as they come. and somebody else's grandson.
He's not watching because I'm a dazzling typist. He's
watching to make sure that I get this done, so that I can fulfill my
obligations to him.
In a burst of post -wedding euphoria, I promised Mark I'd
take him to the park, to the beach, to the Indian village, to the old
fort and a few other local hotspots.
Like all kids, he has the memory of an elephant and the
persistence of a penquin, whatever that means. He arrived about
his usual bed -time, so I thought I could stall him until tomorrow
and then maybe get him to watch television.
No dice. He demanded to see the park, at the very least.
So I took him off -to see the park, driving his. Grammy's convertible.
Yes. grandmothers drive convertibles these days.
Just as we arrived at the park, a hell of a thunderstorm
bust loose: lightening: great rolling cracks of terror; and rain like
Noah's arc.
Hark was a little ,scared, m a delighted sort of way. I was
frightened to death. I couldn't find the windshield wipers and was
flying blind.
Mark said, "Hey, BiIL we better ;crani outa here," t
couldn't have agreed . more. I kept twisting knobs and pushig
buttons, trying to get the Wipers working.
I pushed what seemed to be the last button, Nothi4
happened.- Mark said, "Boy, you're lucky that's locked. That's the
one that puts the top down." I nearly fainted. The back seat wa
loaded with Grammy's clothes. wedding gifts and assorted perish
ables.
Well, we got home safely, as you have surmsied, and it'>
now tomorrow. And it's pouring rain. And Mark has .asked me 74s
questions. Will the Indians let us into their village? Do they have
rugs on the floor? Can we take away some bows and arrows? When
are we going? The last one came about every fourth time.
You know, I've secretly been looking forward to my grand.
children for a few years, even though my own kids aren't married
yet. Now, I'm beginning to wonder. Can I cope?
They're so blase. I took Mark into the Wild Place_ That'
the corner of our garden where there's a big, hairy bush of some
kind. You can almost get lost in there. I forced our way through
the jungle into the secret heart of the Wild Place.
Mark said, "I don't see what's so wild about this. When are
we going to the Indian village?"
Well, I'm going to fix that kid. As soon as I finish thi'
column, we're going to the ruddy Indian village and the blasted
old fort in the pouring rain, and we're going to tromp around until
he'll never want to hear the phrase Indian village again in his entire
life.
It'll probably be the end of me. But no six•year•old punk
is going to push me around. We're going to see all the sights.
We're going to climb and walk and stare until he's goggle-eyed. 1
don't care if he gets exhausted. I'm exhausted 'and we haven't even
started yet.
And if he starts to cry and wants to go home, I'll . .
probably buy him an ice cream cone. Any kid who knows what the
word "scram" means in this day and age can't be all bad.

The Walkerburn Club held their
50th anniversary party last Wed-
nesday evening at the home of the
president, Mrs. Ted Hunking.
Mrs. Hunking was chairman for
this event and welcomed all for-
mer and present members. A
singsong was led by Mrs. Walter
Cunningham with Mrs. James
Jackson at the piano. A humorous
reading "The Party Line" was giv-
en by Mrs. Donald Sprung, Code -
rich. using names of past and
present members. Mrs. Ernest
Durnin and her sister, Mrs. Char•
les Adams, Goderich. sang two
duets which were much appreci-
ated. A piano solo was played by
Vaughan Hunking and a reading
entitled" Fifty Year: Ago" was
given by Mrs. Ernest Durnin. Af-
ter another amusing reading by
Mrs. Sprung. Mrs. Ernest Patter•
son, of Goderich, gave a reading
about the town of.. Walkerburn
written by the late Mrs. Alex
1lanning.
An impromtu skit "I remem•
her'• was a highlight of this anni-
versary party. Those taking part
were Miss Margaret R. Jackson.
Mrs. Elliott Lapp, Mrs. Stewart
Ament, Mrs. Roy Daer and Mrs.
Andrew Kirkconnell. In an inter•
es:ing way they told how this con
munity club had been started in
1918 to assist in war work in nee-
dy families in Toronto. This Clul,
worked with the Neighbourhood
Workers Association in Toronto
and the help of Miss Jackson,
teacher, and the school nurse and
doctor in that city. assisted in
getting clothing to underprivil
edged families. Down through the
years the members have contin-
ued their charity work and no'
sponsor a foster child in Korea.
.A smorgasbord luncheon and
decorated birthday cake was ser-
ved.
It would seem that violence has
become 'a nasty word on televis-
ion. Many have the attitude that
it will go aw.,y if it is not seen_
One network has adopted the
policy that all one -minute pre•
views of every program in the
cumin: fall schedule, must be vi•
olence-free. Most stations show
these previews. or promotion an-
nouncements as they are called.
about a month before the actual
shows begin.
Let's take the F.B.I. program
as an example. Last year's pro•
motion of this show was full of
action and violence. It made en-
ough people watch. because the
show is returning. This year the
promotion announcement will pro.
bably show a couple of FBI ag-
ents talking for 60 seconds. And.
will a gun be in sigfit? We
mustn't show people guns or .vi-
olence. These things don't ex-
ist any longer.
I'd like to know who these net-
work bosses think they're kidding.
Violence started when man got on
this planet.
Are these people saying that
television is responsible for vio-
lence? Violent acts are commit-
ted by persons mentally unbalanc-
ed. The habits of mentally-dis•
Curbed people are all different.
Some watch TV and some don't.
Some read comics and some don't.
Some read the bible and some
don't. Some attend the theatre
and some don't, Some go to
church and some don't. Some
television executives are bright
and some are not.
Television. radio. newspapers,
magazines and books are not re-
sponsible for violence.
Violence will be with us until
the end of time.
FROM THE MINISTER'S STUDY
THE GREAT (HUNGER
1 can't remember the name of that Scandinavian writer, hut
I do remember his novel "The Great Hunger,' in which the hero,
Peer Holm, seeks to satisfy the deep hunger of his soul in science,
family life, inventions. but finds that all these things leave a great
hunger in his heart!
Even while he was devoting himself so eargerly to the hftild•
ing of dams and railroads, he felt the danger that lay in putting too
much reliance in such outward things. And the point of the story
is that until God becomes a living reality for man there remains a
great hunger in his soul.
The writer of the bible hook "Ecclesiastes" reaches much the
same conclusion. namely, that "all is vanity" when God is left mit
of man's plans and when man tries to satisfy his hunger in riches,
learning or worldly pleasure. The Lord Jesus was emphasizing the
same truth when He gave the exhortation "Do no labor for food
which perishes. but for the food which endures to eternal life, which
the Son of Man will give you."
He put it differently in His parable of the rich fool, when
He portrayed a man who thought he could satisfy his soul with grain
and goods. Jesus called him a fool and added: "So is he Who lays
up treasure for himself. and is not rich toward God," If we as
Christians do not receive all the nourishment of the Word of ,God,
our life becomes colorless and unproductive.
Therefore: come to church and let us not neglect to meet
together, as is the habit of some, but encourage one another, Many
of us have blind spots in our thinking -on social and -educational and
scientific and personal problems, because we have not permitted the
light of God to fall upon these areas of life,—

General
The accounts and records for the Township of
Hullett were not maintained in accordance .with generally
accepted accounting principles for the year betided Decem-
ber 31,' 1967.
No serially numbered duplicate receipts were used
so that it is not possible to verify that all cash received was
deposited and properly distributed in the cash book; Several
•
CAPITAL AND LOAN FUN D BALANCE SHEET
•- AUDITOR'S REPORT --
errors
errors in distribution were made and considerable time was
spent trying to determine the source of funds deposited. l
was unable to identify $780,50 cash received and a review
with the Treasurer failed to provide useful information. con -
corning this matter.
The tax roll was prepared carelessly and in many
eases the wrong rates were charged and amounts were
distributed into the wrong columns so that in order to sum•
marize the roll, a great' number of corrections had to be
made, There are some overpayments and underpayments
on the 1967 roll which would have been located if the Treas•
user had balanced the roll properly as is his responsibility.
In 1966 a School Board was overpaid $765,00 and
as yet, it appears the amount has not been recovered, .
Pour property owners have overpaid 1965 and 1966
taxes in a total amount of $656,64, if tax records were
maintained properly, these ratepayers could be Informed of
the overpayments and refunds made at the time, At the
time of audit, the 'Treasurer appeared to be unaware that
overpayments had occurred.
There is still a large number of accounts recejvable
which have been outstanding for a number of years. These
accounts should be reviewed and an attempt made to col.
lett them; uncollectible accounts should be written off by
motion of council.
Several municipal drains were continued in 1967,
but no subsidiary drain records were maintained.
No budget was prepared for 1967 as is required by
section 297 of the Ontario Municipal Act.
The bank loans are in excess of the amounts per•
milted by section 329 of the Ontario Municipal Act.
There is no authority for prelevies for municipal
drain debentures.
Overlevics and underlevies as shown on schedule 8
and 9 are excessive. due to the fact that incorrect rates
were used: 'These overlevies and underlevies should be
taken into consideration when setting the 1968 rates.
Proper budgets are not being prepared by some
School Boards and some municipalities do not prepare a
schedule of debenture debt assumed from other muntipal•
ities. The result is that incorrect payments are being
made to the school hoards and to the municipalities.
In order to reduce bank borrowing, it is suggested
that a reserve for working funds be set up and increased
to at least the amount of Ute average taxes oustanding.
This is done by including on the expense side of the budget
an amount to be raised and'retained as a reserve for work-
ing funds as provided by section 297 (2) of the Ontario
Municipal' Act,
AUDITOR'S OPINION
Subject to the foregoing qualifications, I hereby
report that in my opinion:
(1) The financial transactions which have cone
under my notice have been within the powers of the mun•
icipality.
(2) The audit has been conducted in accordance
with the instruction of the Department of Municipal -Affairs,
(3) The financial statements present fairly the
financial position of the municipality as at December 31,
1967 and the results of its operations for the year ended
on that date,

SLOW DRIVERS
There are times when a driver
must drive below normal highway
speeds - - when pulling a trailer -
a boat, or if the car is overloaded,
Many times, this slow speed does
not inconvenience anyone, but
now that holiday time is here,
more than likely a slow vehicle
will hold tup others on the crowd-
ed highways . , a long stream of
cars line up behind the slow ve-
hicle and traffic congestion .oc-
curs. Before this -happens, it 'is
real courtesy on the part of the
driver to pull off occasionally and
lel the others pass, If YOU must
drive below normal highway
speeds remember this driver cour-
tesy . , it might prevent an acci-
dent.

Your Guide to Ontario's New System of Tax Reductions
To ease the burden of municipal and school taxes, the
Ontario Legislature has established a system of residen-
tial property tax reductions, Virtually all home -owners
and tenants are entitled to benefit.
By this system, Ontario, in effect, is paying the first part
of the municipal taxes on each eligible house or apart-
ment. The reduction amounts to an average of 121/2%
of the taxes,
If you are a home -owner...
If you pay your municipal taxes directly,
you receive your tax reduction directly
from your local municipality—either as a
deduction on your 1968 municipal tax
bill or by cheque.
If you have agreed to make regular pay -
If you are a landlord...
As an owner of residential property, you
receive the tax reduction in the manner
des:;ribed above for home -owners.
Your local municipality calculates the amount of the
reduction and subtracts it on the 1968 tax bills, If a
house or apartment is rented, the landlord is required to
pass the full amount of the reduction to his tenants. The
Province pays municipalities the total of the reductions,
Every owner of a residential property and every tenant
of such a property is entitled to receive a tax reduction
provided the property was eligible in 1967 to be sepa-
rately assessed under The Assessment Act.

If you are a tenant...
Your landlord is required to pay to you tho full amount.
of the tax reduction for your house or apartment, which
he has received from the local municipality.
If you rent your house or apartment for
all of the year 1968, you should receive
the full amount of the reduction. On the
other hand, if you rent your dwelling for
only 'a portion of the year, you are en-
titled to a portion of the reduction; if you
rent the dwelling for six months, for
instance, you should receive one-half of the reduction.
Here is how you get your tax reduction:
If your tenancy ended before June 30, you must apply
menu to the holder of your mortgage,
with instruction to him to pay your
municipal taxes on your behalf, you will
receive the benefit of the tax reduction
by way of an adjustment to these regular
payments,
As a landlord, you are required to pay the
full amount of the tax reduction to each
of your tenants.
to your landlord or to his agent to be entitled to a portion
of the reduction.
o If your tenancy ends after June 30, or if it continues
through to December 31, your landlord or
his agent is required to pay the reduction to
you.
In either case, your landlord or his agent is
required by law to pay to you the amount
of the tax reduction by December 31, 1968.
Any landlord who fails to pay tax reduction
allowance in accordance with the law is liable to a fine of
not more than Q00 for each conviction and, in addition,
will be ordered to pay the tax reduction allowance,
