Her son-in- law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Il. D. Philp were visitors for the occasion, Can You Afford A Coffee Break? We are indebted to Len Rooney I'or the following article and pass it on with rather mixed feelings. You see, we've been known to lake the odd coffee break and shoot the guff for a while — even tiith our friend Rooney. And we haven't as yet figured out if we have all of a sudden become bad company and he's trying to break us of the habit, or if he has passed it on In good faith. In any event, here is the article, We give It to you for What it is worth in the hopes you will de- rive a bit of reading pleasure from it. There are 365 days in a year, Deducting 52 Saturdays, 52 Sun- days, 7 statutory holidays and 14 days for vacation, there ,are a MAXIMUM OF 240 WORKING DAYS IN- A YEAR. If you make $10,000 per year, then you actually earn $41,66 per working clay. . COFFEE BREAKS usually take place about 10;30 in the morning and 3;30 in the afternoon, the most productive time of the day. If you take a twenty minute COFFEE BREAK in the morning, then based on the above figures. the CUP OF COFFEE COSTS $5,55. If you do this twice a day, then the actual cost of the COE- FEE IS $.11,10, Based on 240 working days per year, this amounts tb $2,664 per year, spent at the most produc- tive bene of day to indulge and ,pam'per yourself. Based on a minimum working 'life of forty years, starting at age 20 and etiring at age 60, this amounts to $160,560, Allowing for compound interest, at the same rate as you pay on your mortgage, then this could amount conservatively to $150,000, This, would buy a luxurious hone, a swimming pool, a couple of Cadillacs, a mink coat, a th rer- carat diamond ring, -university ed. ucations for your children and several trips to Bermuda, -Well there you are folks, the only thing in our favor is that hourly wage comparison. There's not too many of us working a small business or farm who could come up with anything close -to that 5,55 twenty minute wage. Volume 80 - No, 06 Single Copies Six Cents All -Stars Have Intermediates Use Batting Prowess To Disappointing Start Thump The Nile Team 26 to 9 Local ball fans had their first glimpse of the Central Iluron League A11 -Stars in action last Thursday night and for the most part were slightly disappointed in what they saw; Most returned home from the game with the feeling that, with the aid of the two outside pitchers, Blyth could have fielded a much stronger team on its own. However, this was the first game . the players have had together, and perhaps they are being judged a bit too early. The All -Stars opened the scor- ing in the third inning when they pushed across three runs. Ed, Daer and Doug McDougall, Blyth, and Aubin, Dungannon, scored. Belgravc came back with one in the fourth when G. Coultes crossed the plate. They added three more in the seventh to go ahead 4 to 3, W. Elston, M. Elston and K. Pleteh did the scor- ing, The all-stars managed to score one in their half of the seventh to even the game at four to four when. F. McDonald made the trip around the bases, but were unable to hold the strong team from Bel - grave as they scored one in the ninth' when W. Coultes crossed home base, Jim Coultes pitched a strong game for the winners and ' was able to go the distance. Aubin, Stan Dougherty and Ed, Daer shared the pitching duties for the all-stars. The Hut Burns 'l'he Blyth Fire Brigade redly- ed eceived a call at noon on Monday to "the hut" on Wilson Street which was built, owned and operated by several members of our young- er populace, By the time the truck arrived the building was almost complet- ely destroyed, and by all appear- ances, had been burning for some time before the alarm was sound- ed. All contents were destroyed, There was no insurance carried on the prcreises, and we haven't heard as yet whether the owners plan a rebuilding project or not, firths FO.RSTER — In Wingham and District Hospital on Thursday, July 25, 1968, to Mr. and Mrs. John Forster, Lucknow, the gift of a son, a brother for Wendy.

The Wingham tank truck was also called, along with the Blyth tanker, to lend assistance to the pumper.

You would be doing the fellows a big favour if you dropped in at the ball park to see the game. Ed. Daer and John Stewart shared the pitching duties while Ross Daer and George Oster work- ed behind the plate. Blyth opened the game with a three run barage in their half of the first inning when George Oster, Doug Scrimgeour and Ed. Daer crossed the plate, They were held scoreless in the second but came right back with four big runs in the third as George Oster and Ed. Daer again scored runs, along with Robbie Lawrie and John Elliott. The fourth inning proved fatal for the visitors as Blyth hammered across seven big tallies in this frame. George Oster again cros- sed the plate and was accompan- ied on scoring journeys across home plate by Robbie Lawrie, Ed, Daer, John Stewart, John El- liott, John Kuindersma and Ross Daer. George Oster, who had a great. night at the bat, pushed across for his fourth run in the sixth inning, as did Lawrie, Elliott. Kuindersma, Ross Daer and Gorci Haggitt. The fellows were held scoreless in the eighth inning, but managed to push across one more in the ninth when Harold Knox scored the twenty-sixth run, ' The Nile pushed across three runs in the third inning and two more ,.in.,the ninth,n Postal. Strike Continues To Be Handled With Comparative Ease By Local Firms Residents of this area, along with the rest of Canada, find our- s:21vcs starting into the second week of the postal strike =— actu• ,.Aly the third in which the Stand - ;:rd will fail to be delivered to subscribers in distant areas — and still the future does not hold ,any bright prospects for a quick end to the strike. We, along with most Canadians were hoping that Prime Minister Trudeau would be taking definite steps to end the strike when he returned from his \'ac:ation in the north, Apparent- ly this will not happen. At least not for several days. Apparently the Prince Minister feels that this i; a legal strike and as long as negotiations are still underway, there is no reason for government intervention. He apparently feels that strikes are legal and will con. tinue to be so until the people decide to change the laws. We were always taught to believe — before elections anyway -- that the government is the voice of the people -- and if this is the case, then we feel it is time for government legislation to put the blockade on the many strikes that seem to spread across our country year after year, We need only look across the Atlantic to England to sec just what happens when the working force becomes too powerful in a country, Perhaps it's time -;now for swift and powerful action 'o prevent a similar situation aris- ing in Canada. Before the elec- tion many felt. that Prime Minist- er Trudeau was the man with en- ough courage to do just that. Let's hope that lie doesn't let his electorate down at this short stage In the game. Locally the strike has not as yet caused any great hardships, Those who depend on the mail services to operate facets of their businesses- have "made do" with other methods, Some have been using the bus lines as a method of transportation, while others have been dealing through com- pany representatives who have been more or less acting as mail couriers between retailer and wholesaler -- something in the line of the pony express In days of yore. Here at the Standard things have been perking along just about as usual. Although It has forced us to drive extra miles and to write many thousands of words down over the telephone that would not normally be needed with regular postal service. Papers have been delivered by car to neighbouring municipali- ties and many subscribers from a distance have called at the of- fice to pick up their copy. De- livery in the village and on the rural routes has been carried out as usual, thanks to the efforts of local postal workers and the rural route carriers, All in all the service is just not too much worse than we have to contend with during norm. al postal service. Maybe Trudeau is right. — let them sit it out ,for a while. Or better still, give the Unemployed a chance at the job. It could be that someone who ,hasen't enjoyed steady employ- ment for the past few years would more than appreciate the regular income. From where we sit it looks to us that many of them could fill the mail carriers shoes without too much problem. And it's just possible they wouldn't expect to be paid the equivalent of someone who has worked sever- al years to obtain a college de- gree, We cotticl go along with a slight raise in order to offset the rising cost of living. But 75 cents an hour? Well! This could do absolutely nothing except add fat to the fire, THE .BLYTH STANDARD — WEDNESDAY, JULY 31st, 1908 DOCTORS .GIVE HIM A PAIN (Reprint from an earlier issue) A couple of experienees recently have confirmed some thing I've long suspected, People spend far too much time going to the doctor. Moat doctors would probably agree. My wife, who could ,go 15 rounds with Cassius Clay aind (not breathe ;hard, goes `to the :doctor laboat twice a month, He says, "Well, you're certainly looking 'In fine fettle," gives her a bottle of pills utd sends her about her business, 1 My experiences with doctors has been an two levels, the social and the professional. Soeia!lly, you can't beat them, Taey like a drink, good story, good company, Professionally .. well, lel me tell you. Just after the war, the medical profession told me I had tuberculosis, There was a shadow on my chest X-ray. They pumped out my stomach and poked among the horrors exhumed. They vain• pired blood out of my arm. They sucked marrow out of my breast. bone, Every so often, a specialist in reading X-rays would show me the "shadow" on my lung. There were about 484 shadows on the Xray, I'd nod intelligently, though I'll swear it was a different one every time. I still think they got a flyspeck on the original Xray. But I bear thein no grudge. This use to happen to me during the war. We'd be flying formation, on a mission, heads swivelling wildly to watch for German fighters. Suddenly, I'd spot a whole gaggle of the foe and ]roller over the radio. Enemy aircraft, above, 10 o'clocki!" After a frantic silence, in which everyone else swept the sky with his. eyes, a sardonic voice would announce, "Smiley's get oil specks on his windscreen again," So I forgave the docs, In 12 months, they couldn't prove, at least to my satisfaction, that I had TB. But they needed the practice, and I bore no i114vil'l, About eight years later, I had a very sore back. Conic! hardly straighten up. I went to a specialist, He took $28 worth of X-rays and a ten dollar fee, poked me painfully, and on the second visit informed me that I had a "severe irritation of the lumbar region," 1 was pretty scared and asked hint what it involved, "1'n put it in layman's language," he pontificated, "you have a sore Lack." Couple of years later, I hobbled into another doctor's of. Lee. My knee was acting up. A German feldwebel had tried to kick the kneecap off, one day in 1994, and every so often it went on the fritz. The doe twisted It until I screamed, told me it was very pain- ful, and sent me to a specialist, He took Xrays, wrenched it until 1 was bathed in sweat, and told me 1 had a bad knee and should be careful with it. Reeentlty, I went to the 'veteran's hospital, for my regular chest oheck•up. The ,doe couldn't find the sear on my X.ray, and had to ask Foie which lung It had been, I didn't know. The other day, I went to an eye specialist. 1 can see fine. but my wife thought I should go. I haven't had my eyes checked since another eye specialist, 15 years ago, prescribed the glasses .i wear for reading. Well, this young fellow the other day, who can give you an appointment within four months of the time you call, told me I didn't need glasses. Said the ohes 1 had. were as useful as window panes. Ile didn't realize I'd had them renewed at about $25 a rattle, four or five times since the original prescription, whenever I'd broken them or lost them, • Well, I'nm .going .to fool On, l'm going to go right on wear• ing those glasses, if only to hide the bags under my eyes. Doctors! It's not that I'm prejtidtced, Some of my best friends are doctors. But how would you like your sister to marry one of them? • (!1 G;ilfIntl!!!IIIA!!nl!nl!!!!1!dillyll >i !alowSINI111111! 011111111111181!1Ellfi!Ifl!

We too, at times wish God would assert himself more positively. Why does God not declare himself beyond the shadow of a doubt? Why does he not alter world affairs so that nobody can have any uncertainty as to who is in command in this universe? Why do the righteous often suffer and the evil prosper? One man complained "now if 1 were God, I'd show people a thing or two, 1'cl make people step around." But the person to whom he was con• plaining offered a silent prayer of thanksgiving that Gori did not have the characteristics o1' this person, The way of God is not the way of coercion but the way of love. Surely if the Gospel says anything it says that. God does not use the methods of some unscrupulous dictator but the method of forgiving love. ]low could you worship a God who shouted Ws' commands from the skies and sent, his gestapo to check up upon any who did not jump when these commands were given? To ask that God should always make his presence obvious is to ask that he be a different kind of God than the one that.Jenu.9 came to make known. Jesus said "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God and Paul suggests that the carnal mind is at enmity against God and can not know God. The awareness of God is not the reward of the sharp witted nor of the clear headed but of the pure hearted, A higher 1. Q. does not guarantee an overw[ielreing sense of God, God does not ride rough shod into the events of every day but those who genuinely seek to know him do not leek In Vain. M.

She's very good at this sort of thing, if -1 do say so myself, and I'm, sure tthat.•the children will benefit a great deal from her understanding of their difficulties and her ability to establish a rapport with them. For this reason I have been' more inclined : 10. overlook the fact that l have been saddled with kids, house, cooking and washing for the period.' of- her' absence. It certainly . has given me: a good insight to what a mother and housewife has to put •up' with in --the course of the day, but it -sure- plays havoc with getting ,on .with my own work. But back. to the, children, For many .of Ahem 11 is a diffi‘ cult time having to immigrate to a new- country, but 7 wheat you add to , that the chore of having to. learn ,a new language,' It 'makes the whole; situation: that, -much harder. To those of you .,who.,have lived your -entire-life .in -Canada, just, picture -yourself in the posi- tion in which these children find themselves — new country,. new language, new school system, and you can then realize a great deal better what new comers.4torour,,. country must go through. In spite of the obstacles, many of these young people do remarkably well. My prize example for this concerns •a boy -whose family. we- handled- when „I . was :working; in-. Vienna .. with._.the ,Hun• garian refugees' in 1956-57, The boy, whose name is Frank Felkar, ended up in Tillsonburg, and. quite by coincidence that Is where 1 landed the following year., 1 know Frank . wont mind me telling about him, but when he arrived his English was elementary to say the least. In a year's. time , it was -so .good :.that 'he was_ getting top marks in his class -- a class composed of English-speaking students. 1 was astounded that one could improve so much :in sucht a;:short time, but the proof was before me. Frank, went on to:-unlversiby; and although 1 have lost track of him, 1 know he is somewhere in Canada making his contribution to our country;• He.•hasialways been: for me _a ,prime example of what these. young ,.peopte,can,ido when. they come ,lo our country and apply themselves to our language and. customs, But.. let's :look nt ,the ,other., side oi; :the.:come. for; a emoment. Many, Canadians have studied French for up.,to.5 years in,higll,school and yet are unable to speak for more than a few short --sentences without, -t becoming; bogged dawn•.; in syntax:,- Why; so many; people ask, _does it take, so many years in class to learn .such a little? The explanation lies in the fact that while people -learning English here *are living;• in an:.English!speakin'g,environmento:,people learning French are abotlt as far removed from a ;French-speaking atmosphere .,as_could be . imagined, Add to ..that ,the fact that most of these students are in large classes, are sudying French less than an hour a day, and „never, or ,hardly ever, practice it outside the classroom. No wonder.- their:7 French, is. so. elementary after those five years. Having, taught French in the classroom myself, my sympathies go out to 'both' 'the students trying to :learn it, -..and the teachers trying to 'teach. it,, But in spite. of 4t'he...rather,difficult,and frustxating;st uation, clon't ;give up, If you cotnplete four or five years -:of :high school French, you'll have an excellent background if you do go to , a French -speaking -.~country• for -•a ' while, Needless'to- say . your fluency will 'improve. by leaps and -bounds, if you speak nothing -but Frendr, Learning a :second -language Is never -..easy; even ',for those who : settle In our country and start to study EngiiSh. It involves continual practice, having a good laugh over your funny mistakes, the ability to rebountlafront ;periods;, of r discouragement, and above all the rcalizationt,that twhon'you have.. mastered the language, you have , something , that nobody , can take, away from you.

Blyth, Ontario, July 25, 1968. Dear Doug: I would like to use this means of expressing my thanks and ap• predation to all the people of this community who have been so kind and helpful to me since the loss of my sight two and a half years ago, It was quite a shock to sud- denly discover that the sight was gone with no hope of it being re- stored. One day t had two mon visit me from CNIB, Mr. Jack Clement and Mr. Wheeler. 'These men were both blind. They gave me some good advice and convinced me that there were worse things than being blind. They had me reg- istered with the CNTB. Mrs. May Turner has been driving a teach- er from London to our place al- most every week since, Mrs, Mary Goodale has been my teacher since last September. She taught me to type and to read and write braille. She has also set up a school in Carlow where she teach• es a group of us chair caning, basket making etc. The CNIB also brought me a book recorder and supply me with the very best books. This is all done free of charge. - I would especially like to thank the members of Blyth Masonic Lodge and Grand Lodge, The Blyth Lions Club, the Clinton Lawn Bowling Club and last but not least my wife and family. Yours sincerely, Harold Vodden, REPORT During the week of July 21 to July 27, Officers at the Wingham Detachment worked a total of 229 hours and patrolled 2368 miles, Twenty-three Criminal Investi- gations were carried out; which „+• • • 1-i-• *4 44-0-11 44-444-4 • •-• •-1-• 4-1-4 + ►.-•+M •-++F.++•4-+-1-4-h, TENDERS Bulk Stipulated Sum Tenders will be received by the undersigned until 4:00 P.M. 1:.D.T., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1968 for the County of Huron Court House Heating Alterations.
