Cowing outlined- MDC's im- portance as a liaison between the grass roots people and province of Ontario. He said .- that in the corning -year, it was hoped- MDC would work -more closely with county coun- cils perhaps through a repres-, entative from each county - council sitting onthe re gional council in:Stratford and through a- proposed plan for -MDC -off- icials_ to meet on a regular basis with individual county - councils in their own chambers: - ---The executive- director also explained the difficulty in att- racting industry to the region - and more particularly, -,to- an essentially: agricultural county= -like:" Huron. .He :said :that. ..MDC isworking-,.with' industrialists throughout North America and in other countries, to. acquaint them w ith the advantage of business' in the midwestern Ont- ario region. Part of MDC!s work is'to assist -existing industries in this region to grow and expand. He spoke about the Council's new magazine MID - which is extolling the virtues of the region to people: in all walks of -life in many, many places.. 'But it was Peter Branch who got down to brass tacks. He" said, he -was-concerned about Huron's seemingly disenchant- -ment with MDC and said -MDC officials- were- "rather hurt" by Huron's attitude. "If you are not over -enthus- iastic ,about MDC tell us what are the alternatives," said - Branch. "What does MDC not have that some other organ- ization might have? Where can the council serve you better?" Todching on the importance of regional cn-operation through MDC, Branch said that from the 10 regions across the province, the government received "10 viewpoints, not several hund- reds or thousands", President Jim Hayter summed up the presentation with a few well-chosen wcrds from MDC's standpoint. "We need you support," said Hayter, ',not just your financial support but we need the supp- ort of the people. Send us your problems, - Telephone us in Stratford," One question from the floor 'was how MDC planned to deal with the new owner of CFB Clinton, John van Castel, Galt, Would MDC assist him in securing industry for his invest- ment? Cowing answered that MDC planned to do everything poss- ible to assist Mr, van Gastel in the Clinton operation, He -t F said MDC recognized the sale of CFB Clinton as just the "first step up the ladder", Gerry Ginn of Goderich Township asked a question con- cerning MDCIs interest in the agricultural industry, He wond- ered what plans MDC had to put the rural economy on a par with industry. Ginn was told that for the first time, agriculture is a priority item with MDC and that an agricultural section of MDC will take the problems of farmers to government in an effort to encourage fair practices and better incomes for rural people. Ed Oddliefson, reeve of the village of Bayfield, outlined the poor syste m - of communi- cation in Huron County and suggested that a better road system is necessary if Huron County is ever to provide services for industry, see tour- ism grow or help the farmer to better markets for his pro- duce, Cowing said, that MDC sees the need for an extension of Continued on pg. 16, -a e of jail discussed The fate of the Huron County jail was discussed only briefly ,at Wednesday's session of 'council, but if the reeve of Colborne, Cog McCeil Colborne, Doug McNeil, had his way, the 'five exercise yards would be torn down to make way for additional park- ing at the assessment office and. the Children's Aid Society, "The exerciseyards should be removed in my way of thinking, for a future parking area," stated McNeil, McNeil was speaking to a motion introduced by the God- erich representatives to have the jail named as an historic site, Roy Pattison, reeve of East Wawanosh, said the jail would make a location for a "special museum" but he did not ela- borate concerning what special- ity the museum would feature.

THE BLYTH-I STANDARD S bad Ids In an article in Weekend magazine Saturday, Loral Gra- ham,-- wife of a Canadian diplomat in Cuba, told, of her experience working- in a "volunteer wok camp" in Cuba, The ,camps have been set up by the, Cuban government under Fidel Castro so`that the people of Cuba can contribute' to the economy of their nation, a country which has been beset by economic troubles in recent years. Every Havana residez t, the article reports, who holds . :down 'a regular- job, whether it is skilled or unskilled lab- our, a profession or clerical job, Is asked to spend at least half of his one day off each weekand at least one longer period of a' week or more, contributing without pay to, the economy of the country, 'This without pay is 'usually manual agricultural labour but can mean working overtime at one's regular job ix standing guard duty in a public building, The plan is somewhat similar to one in use in China where all officials. must at some time every two ' years take time off their regular jobs to, come down and work in the fields or the factories with .the ordinary people. Maybe the communist. countries , have • a good idea, Many Americans. will skoff at the 'suggestion saying it is an un- usual hardship, but it, is not ° that much different than their draft system which requires young men to take army train- ing, And come to think of it, it isn't that much different than the old system of statuatory labour which. was in force in Canada in the early days when each person contributed so many man=hours a year to helping keep up roads and other facilities. Mrs. 'Graham reported that despite rumors she had heard, life in the camps wasn't really ' bad and that the women she waked with actually had a good time during the time they were at the camp. Perhaps such programs' have no place in our country but it might be wise to look at them closely. Civil servants, for instance, who have been cloistered for years in the government buildings in Ottawa or Toronto, could benefit by meeting the people behind the numbers. Executives could learn what it. is like. to be on the other end of the. grders. City people could learn what it is like to supply the food, not just pick it up at the supermarket. Most of all, the program could serve as a method of unit- ing the country through creating greater understanding between people arid by creating a sense of pride in contrib- uting to the wealth of the country, not just filling one's own pockets. the day Oi aulo�tioo tAs we hear it told, it was late in the afternoon and the psychiatrist yearned for a cup of coffee, so he said to his new patient: '"Look, I've just: recently automated my office, so that. everything you say is being taken down by a tape recorder. I have to step out a minute, but you keep right on talking and the tape recorded will remember everything," He hadn't been in the coffee shop for a minute when, to his embarrassment, the patient appeared and also ordered coffee. The psychiatrist, however, immediately. composed himself and in his .best professional manner said calmly, "What are you doing here, don't you know this is costing you $20 an hour? Why aren't you upstairs talking to my cape recorder?" "Oh," said the patient, "It's all right. You see, I've been to psychiatrists before so I brought my own tape recorder. And now my tape recorder is talking to your tape recorder,!' - from the Zurich Citizens - News WHAT'S NEW AT HURONVIEW Mrs. Luther of Hensall led the song service on Sunday evening provided by the Christian Women's. Club of South Huron with vocal and instrumental numbers by Mr, Hall and Mr. and Mrs, Luther, The Family Night program which was to feature the Keith Gingerich family of Zurich was cancelled owing to weather conditions and will be rescheduled at a later date.

"Take your boots off and have a look," I answered, "You'll have to see this one to believe it,My husband is a reasonableman. He's learned to expect most anything from his family but I was really wondering whether even this patient lov- ing fellow woud be able to keep his cool after witnessing what awaited hint tonight. He removed his overshoes and hung up his coat, His nose led him in the direction of the stench. There was an uncom- fortable silence, "I don't believe•it," he muttered, shaking his head and wringing his hands, "Give me strength," he prayed, eyes heavenward, "Take it easy honey," I told him, "Our son says it will wash right off and the best part of it all is, it isntcosting us any money." "Where did he get this in- sane idea to paint his shoes?" asked my spouse. "Where can he wear them? They're all baby blue and diarrhoea yell- owJust then our tenaged trial waltzed into the house. His face was filled with excitement, He looked as though he was on the verge of one of the most devastating discoveries in history. you seen my shoes, dad?" he asked, eyes aglow but not for long as he noticed the rage drewing on his father's countenance, "Have you gone crazy?" my quiet dispositioned hubby began. "There's a $25 pairof shoes all slopped up withpaint, not fit to wear any- where any more, and you act as though you've just been given Gulliver's travelling boots." Our son began to explain. This great guy down at the shoe store had been telling him about this neat paint thatyou can apply to any old shoes. 'From the Birmingham Eccentric my mwiflhIoby This groovy special paint : will easily wash off( when,you want to change you boot colour. -or go back to the leather shade again. But best of all, the shoe salesman had provided this marvellous cover-up paintat no cost, Our son was to be kind of a demonstrator. He was to paint his shoes, the $25 ones we bought, so'recently, and' wear them to school, If the kids panned the shoes, it hadn't cost us anything, not even for the paint. But if the kids liked the shoes, our son would be a hero. He would b_e, a trend-setter and a wheel, "If the paint will wash off," I asked our son, "how will you keep it on , as you walk to school through the snow and the slush," I thought the question was logical but our son looked at me with a'kind of regal pity in his eyes. "I got this special stuff to seal the paint job," he ex- plained, holding up a very impressive looking bottle, "It makes them,waterproofand everything." "Then how do you wash the paint off if you don't like it?" I persisted, thinking there was a certain amount of wisdom in my queries, "I don't know, " my son an- swered, "I never really thought about it, But you'll like my 'shoes when I' m finished, I don't like that yellow too much so I .went down to the store just now and got some navy blue. Navy blue and powder blue , should be cool, eh?" Twenty minutes later and APFD (after parents finished ' the dishes) our son emerged from his work room in splen- dor, ' He wore a pair of shoes (I think it was a pair) - one boot with baby blue toes and heel and navy uppers and the other boot" with navy blue toes and heel and powder blue uppers.

Present Foundation programs include vocational and, psycho- logical assessment, patient services such as the provision of artificial limbs and wheel- chairs and job training and work opportunities. Fourteen permanent facilities are pre- sently being operated in Ont- ario with service to remote parts of the province also being provided through travell- ing clinics, All of these programs and services are designed to develop the ability which individuals requesting assistance have.

The courts verdict favoured the railroad, The following day, the President of the Railroad summoned to his office the night. watchman, He congratulated his employee warmly for the winning way in which he gave witness, Whereupon the night watchman observed. "Yes, but I trembled every moment in the fear the prosecution would ask me, Was your lantern lit?" Jesus said to his followers, "You are the light of the world. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. " (Matthew 5: 14-16) submitted by REV.

The- concrete. always 'looks dusty and dull andit's practically impossible to keep it clean. Would= `painting it help? If so, shouldwe use a 'special type of paint? A: Yes; -you should use a paint that has been formulat- ed especially for use on con.' trete. You certainly need to eliminate -the "dusting" prob- lem you now have as this in- dicates that if the concrete ever was sealed, the sealant is no longer effective, For a floor that will be easy to clean, use a rubber -base concrete paint called Colortread. This will dry to a durable gloss finish that's easy to wash with a sponge mop. EASY TO USE You don't use any primer or sealer, but you should make sure your floor is clean and dry, The fastest way to apply the paint is with a long -han- dled roller, It will cover solid in one coat and dry in two hours. However, if the con- crete is very porous, a second coat is recommended for best wear. Because of its 'rubber content, Colortread is con- sidered an excellent moisture sealant. If in the future you decide to tile your basement, you won't have any problem. Un- like porch and deck enamels, this rubber -base, paint doesn't have to be removed before tiling, Tiles can be applied di- rectly to it using an emulsion type of adhesive.

Bob Brewster, Outdoor Editor Mercury Snowmobiles Time For Mid -Winter Care Most snowmobilers begin their winter of outdoor fun by having their dealer tune and properly adjust their machine for faithful service throughout the season. This is as it should be, of course. However;M because of the hard usage given 'many ma- chines and the extremes of cold and dampness under which they operate, the recre- ation experts at Mercury snowmobiles recommend that owners also conduct a per- sonal mid -winter mainte- • nonce check: Replace the spark plugs) if there are signs of deposits, corrosion or pitting. And if plugs seem to go bad quickly, ask your dealer about use of a "hotter" or "colder" plug, To reduce the possibility of your throttle freezing and sticking open, apply dry lubricant to the thumb lever and cable. Check the drive belt -and replace if there is excessive edge wear or cracks. Keep in mind that need for frequent replacement may be a sign of • clutch -pulley misalign- ment -or that your driving style abuses the machine! Run the fuel tank dry, then clean or replace any filters in the fuel lines or tank. (Many machines have a filter in the bottom of the tank, so check your owners manual.) Otherwise, it is just old- fashioned smart to frequently inspect your snowmobile for signs of track wear, sound- ness of the exhaust system, proper functioning of, lights, full battery fluid level and clean terminals and condition of ski wear rods, so you or your dealer can make neces- sary minor repairs and ad- justments - before they be- come major and costlyl Follow Blyth's eau m For a Tasty Treat - FULL COURSE MEALS - LIGHT LUNCHES ICE CREAM - CHINESE FOOD WE SPECIALIZE IN TAKE.OUT 'ORDERS - PH. 523-4391 HURON GRILL BLYTH, ONTARIO Elliott Insurance Agency BLYTH - ONTARIO.

Probably both, which is one reason I'm so confused these days. The other reason is that I've always been confused. For one thing, the new tax legislation, It may be manna to lawyers and ac- countants, but to the ordi- nary, rather stupid Cana- dian, like me, it's like wandering around in a bog in a fog, blind -folded, What did 1 do before Valuation Days were an- nounced? Nothing, I didn't have a clue where to start, and besides, the whole thing had about as much fascina- tion for me as a January sale. Now 1 discover that I should have valued some of my precious antiques and stuff, so that I could pay taxes on them when they in- crease in value. Well, I haven't any stamp collections or coin collec- tions or paintings that are going to increase in price steadily. I don't have a sum- mer cottage, which seems to be a bad thing to have, ac- cording to the papers, But I do have some anti- ques. There's the violin, for example, It's an authentic hand -made instrument. My Uncle Tom made it about forty years ago, and some- how it came -into my pos- session. No 'one in the family has played it, be- cause there is only one string, the bridge is broken, and the frame is slightly warped; Therefore, it's not just junk, but almost pris- tine, and surely is increasing in value daily. The case in which it is enclosed is equal- ly antique, (I'd say about 1850 vintage), 1 definitely slipped up there. That thing could be worth as much as $38 in ten or twelve years, and '1 got it for nothing. How much will a rapacious government snatch from me in capital gains for that? And the beds, of course, They are genuine antiques. My mother bought them at an auction sale, and they must have been 100 years old then. We inherited them, and they're probably priceless by now. . How about my hip waders? If they're not anti- ques, 1'11 cat your hip waders, They're so old I can't re- member when 1 bought them, and they are full of genuine holes, just like old furniture. And where docs my wood -pile come in? One of my oaks blew down last summer, and I had it cut in- to' firewood, Now. I didn't pay for the oak when I bought the property, and I have about $35 wortli of wood there, Do I pay,capi- tal gains tax on it? Enough of that.: Unj. be- coming steadily marc wor- ried, I can see my entire es- tate going down the drain to the greedy tax collector, Something else has me just about as puzzled. It's the educational system. It's different in every province, so that you can learn as much in twelve years in Manitoba as you can in thirteen years in Ontario, That is understandable, be- cause of the difference in climate (the only reason 1 can think of.) But a whole new, fright- ening aspect of the black- board jungle is being intro- duced in my.' province.. It's probably something the Yanks tried out ten years ago and found unworkable and have since abandoned. That's the way Canadian education, at its worst, seems to operate; Beginning next Septem- ber, the kids and their parents choose what sub- jects the kid will take in high school. So far, so good, I've always been opposed to the old, rigid system under which you had to take math or French or something you were hopelessly inept at. 1. think there should be lots of options, .

But I've laid - my plans_ too, We're going to lay in a supply of dirty modern novels, and also give everybody at least 75 per cent, • Don't tell me that a 13 or 14 year old will choose anything except what he thinks are the "easiest" sub-. jects, This' acould lead to courses in basket .weaving, archery, or mope and gawk - cry, And what do Ido if the principal informs me that nobody= wants to take En- glish next year? I'm not a bit worried, 1 am convinced 1 can cook better than some of the. Home Economics teachers, and could fit in nicely there . I know the first four letters . of' the Greek alphabet, and could teach Greek in a pinch. ... •.. .....• ...... .1 ..• .....! .l... .... •.t .J.... .. t.h..•.•Y, i.•. .J..... ... •... ••......... tl••. ••.

A -stalwart defence`headed by Jim Cameron and young Bill McDougall. pounded - out good checks all night. First year - man Cal Fremlin, forced into regular action when Gary Cummings was _injured during - the Christmas -holidays, -has come on as a solid -defence- man andin this game he turned out to be the hero of the game with his first goal as a Junior midway into the second period. The play was started by another digger, Bill Stirling, who dropped a perfect pass back to defenceman Jim Cam- eron, Cameron's shot rifled by the net -and came back to Fremlin who had parked himself in the slot, His shot went -through a maze of players on the ice, Ron Graham did an excellent screen- ing job on the Belmont goalie, Fremlin goal was the third power play goal for Clinton in the game, his defence partner Jim Cameron blasted in a long shot at 6:26 of the second to break a 2-2 tie, Coach Bill Weber is very pleased .with the results. of his decision of converting Bill McDougall back to the defence, McDougall not only played a strong checking game, he • sparked the club in the fust period first by setting up Bob Cook at 4:45 for Clinton's first power play goal, Then he picked up a loose puck which had been poked up to him by Greg Jewis,. broke in { and let loose a wicked' shot into the top corner of the net, For • the first time this season, the defencemen did all the scoring, Belmont held Clinton to only 19 shots, One reason was that Clinton picked up 17 penalties to Belmont's 12, Goalie Fred German returned to his old form and was at his acrobatic best early • in the game and in the third period when' Bel- mont tried to earn a tie, In the final minute of play Gord Riley and Bill Stirling picked up penalties giving !'Belmont a 6-4 advantage, German kicked out two toughies and caught another`. to hold Belmont, The Clinton management have persuaded big winger' Mark 1enkins to come out and, given a few games to pick up his co-ordination,' Mark's hard THE I3LYTH STANDARD, Jan, 19, 1972.

He said that as conditions in the Kitchener -Waterloo area such a highway would be a valuable asset to the region. With regard to the transport- ation hearings being hosted by a committee of the federal government in this area, Cow- ing said that MDC is preparing a brief to be presented at the hearing in Stratford on January 25, He indicated that the content of the brief would suggest to government alternate methods 'of public transport - such as air service - could be established with the area in which passenger train service was discontinued, Gowing also suggested that some form of government subsidization for such a transportation service would likely be appreciated. Also in the audience. was Spence Cummings, develop- ment officer for the county of Huron. Towards the end of 1971, council had hinted that the county would to discontinue something - either membership in MDC or the service of the . development officer, The decision still has not been reached but MDC officials did their best to stem the tide of discontentment in Huron .
