Huron Federation proposes rules fo
farm votes
A five -point _.plan for deter-
mining who is eligible to vote
on farm questions was proposed
at the monthly meeting of the
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture held Thursday in
Clinton,
The plan, was built around
suggestions which originated
with the 16 township federations
who each appointed a dele-
gate to' a committee to draft
the, plan; '
Now that it has been app-
roved by the county federation,
it will go before, the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture- which
had; requested county federa-
tions across the province to
come up with suggestions.
The purpose of the plan was
to lay ground rules as to who
is eligible to vote in comm-
unity marketing board votes
and any future general farm
vote. It follows complaints
that non -producers were sudd-
enly acquiring chickens prior
to the ezz marketing board
vote which was to have been
held recently but was cancelled
due to these irregularities.
The five points of the pro-
posal are:
1. The majority required for
approval of a marketing board
should be 55 per cent.
2. A majority of the income
of the farmer should come
from farming to be eligible
to vote.
3. The voter must produce
a commodity for two years
pricy to the vote to be eli-

Blyth village council and the men who man the snow re-
moval equipment should be congratulated on a job well done
during this week's big blow,
Although all roads into Blyth were in such a state that few
cars were entering the village, residents of Blyth could drive
just about anywhere in town they pleased without worrying
about gettingstuck during the storm,
'The plows were on the street constantly, keeping the snow
pushed back and off the streets, Even most back streets were
kept well plowed.
There are a few much larger centres in the area that could
learn a good lesson if they would look at Blyth,
Dtainin away our heritage
How much longer will the provincial government fight to
improve our environment on one hand and on the other con-
tinue to grant money for farmers to drain every inch of land
on their farms to produce more crops?
A farmer can't really be blamed for wanting to be able
to grow a larger; crop on his farm and thus wanting to be
able to use every bit of his land. But if the present trend
of draining swamps and pot holes continues much longer,
these same farmers could be hurt worst,
The pioneers who cleared the land made a great many
mistakes that did irrepairable damage to the landscape, They
cleared some land which should never have been cleared,
They lowered the water table, made rivers dry up in summer
and lakes disappear. But at least their mistakes were mistakes
of ignorance,
But today the government is encouraging farmers through
grants to drain the last few pot holes and swamps left, Soon,
the melting of the snow in spring will be carried away in
one big gush down the drains and streams to the lake and the
land will bake in the sun for the rest of the summer. How
long, under such a program, will it be before the govern-
ment has to provide grants to farmers to irrigate their crops
in the July and August hot seasons?
Already there are examples that the government's right
hand doesn't know what the left is doing. While every town-
ship council meeting deals with more drains, the government
is busy in Hullett buying up land which it will flood as a
refuge for the wildlife which could have been living in the
areas it has helped to make disappear.
First we pay to get ; rid of the wildlife, then we pay to
get it back. How much longer will this madness go on?

The old `railway station
From my win�ow
Monday will be Valentine's
Day for another year, I'm not
expecting any special recogni-
tion on that occasion from my
husband because he's not the
incurable romantic he - would
need to be to get excited
about hearts and cupids,
But if my husband were buy-
ing my something expensive
for Valentine's Day, I know
what I'd be asking for, I'd
want one of those new ovens
on the market which bake pot-
atoes in five minutes, a roast
in 20 minutes etc, etc.
Where did I get my inform-
ation? rth&Tght you'd never "-
ask,
Just last week I attended a
lecture delivered by a home
economist with Ontario Hydro.
This gal was using the "Live.
Better Electrically" slogan and
believe me, she was putting
ideas into my head and into
the •heads of all the women
who were present,
She told me what I've been
longing to hear for years and
years, She said that within the
next decade or so, housework
as we know it today will be
non-existant, In fact, the only
thing that will limit the ser-
vices we can have through
invention will be dollars and
d
cents.
Do you know, for instance,
that the average housewife now
spends nine years of her life
washing dishes? I can believe
. and that's based on doing
dishes three times a day. At
our house - and many other
houses I can think of - dishes
are a regular routine four and
even five times daily.
Well, take heart girls, If
you have a dishwasher now,
you are one step ahead of the
rest of us. But one day, jud-
ging from what this informed
home economist told me, that
dishwashers won't be needed,
There just won't be any dishes
to do, That's right.
She was explaining about .
special chips which are coming
one day soon. These chips, I
understand, will be easy trans-
formed into dishes for your
table at a flick of a switch.
You can produce just enough'
dinnerware for your table for
each meal and then after dinn-
er, you simply dispose of the
soiled dishes, As I understood
it,' the dishes will simply dis-
integrate via some special
process. Ecology you know.
And stoves. Bless the manu-
facturers who are improving
stoves. If you have $2,600 -
give or take a hundred or so -
you can have a stove which
will cook your food in a jiffy,
You can come home from work
at 5 o'clock and have a full
course dinner prepared and
cooked by 5:45. How's that
for keeping a growling husband
ha Another great inovention as
far as I'm concerned are the
new cooking tops which are
solid china -like substances with
no cracks and crevices to keep
clean. ,Simply wipe as you
would a counter top; and your
cooking area is sparkling clean,
These latter cooking tops, I
think, require special cookware
with very flat bottoms... . but
the whole surfarP hon,,,inc
the cooking area, not just four
distinct burners such as we have
today. Sounds simply wonderful
for someone,like nie who hates
to clean the stove,_
Of course, most of you have
heard of, theelf-cleaning oven
where you press a' button and
the heat becomes so intense in
the oven that the spilled food
is turned to grey ash'in minutes,
Most interesting to me was the
information that these specially -
equipped stoves are testing out
well, and that they have a
normal life -expectancy with few
problems,
by SHIR LEY J. KELLER
The future holds very little
weekly cleaning for the house- _
wife, I understand that homes
of the future will _ have big,
silent and invisible vacuum
cleaners installed in them. By
pressing a button on a comput-
er, a housewife will be able
to pull all the dust out of any
or all rooms in the house - at
a momentls notice, Think what
a boon that would be, when
the neighbours drop in unexpect-
edly. •
One thing disturbed me,
wretch that I am. It is entirely
possible that" in the future, -
children will not go to school.
They will be at home all day
with mommy and daddy and
they will do their school work
Eby computer,
I think that's carrying elect-
ric living a step too far. I
think such educational freedom
should be available only in very
special circumstances, There
are too many rotten mothers
around - like me- who enjoy
having the kids in school for
as much of the year as ,possible,

. Once a week, an Ontario high school
teacher hunches over his typewriter and
stabs out a salty little column about things
like mortgages, kids, taxes and the cruel
Canadian winter. Bill Smiley, who seasons
150 weekly newspapers across Canada with
his personal blend of sugar and spice, tells it
like it is,
He comments on home life. "It is
something to be borne, like varicose veins or
ingrown toenails."
He talks about family hang-ups,
"Momma's tolerance thins with the same
rapidity as Dad's hair."
About his job, he says, "Show me a
teacher in June and I'll show you, a
character with a crumpled shirt, a wrinkled
brow and a desperate look in his eye,"
He has this to say about the puzzling
business of living: "The Sixties produced
the millions of kids who are now a mystery
and terror and bewilderment to the relics of
the Frightful Forties."
To readers of his column, Bill comes
across as a wise, irreverent and witty man.
It's an honest projection. He writes the way
he talks. Sitting in his favourite chair an
uncomfortable straight backed job - he'll
curl one hand around a drink and run the
other through his thinning white hair. He
listens, while conversation flows around
him, then delivers a wry and usually
definitive comment, in a voice as com-
fortable as a rusty porch swing: This wiry
unsentimental wisdom is the reason
acquaintances from eight to. 80 ask him for
advice. This is why ex -students invite him to
their weddings, and why every female he
meets falls a little bit in love with him, And
this is why a clipping from a Saskatchewan
newspaper describes him as "by far our
most popular syndicated columnist."
Bill was born in Perth, Ont., and• was
studying at Victoria College when World
War Two began. He joined the RCAF,
became a Typhoon pilot and took part in
many dangerous missions , like hitch hiking
380 miles on a forty hour pass to see a girl,
He,regards this escapade with the same
puckish spirit as the time he had to circle an
airfield for a couple of hours with a live
bomb hanging from his wingtip. The chaps
down below wouldn't let him land until they
had cleared away all the men and machines.
"I landed", he says, "like a mouse in kid
gloves walking on eggs. Then I ran like a bat
.out of hell, in flying boots, with a parachute
.bumping on my bum."
later column. He wasn't, He didn't, Last
year he wistfully remarked that,he'd,like to
get away from it all and enjoy a summer
vacation with his wife - perhaps in the form
of an auto trip across, Canada.: Invitations
flowed In, offering everything from deep sea
fishing in the Maritimes to dancing under
the stars, in British Columbia. A column
commenting on the BAHAI religion inspired
a spirited if ungrammatical, reply from an
irate Westerner,
For a writer like Bill, a colourful family is
a definite'asset. His wife, to whom he has
referred variously as "the Old Lady," "the
Battle Axe," or "the Boss," is in reality an
intelligent and attractive lady who gets fan
mail of her own, She's as interested in
writing and reading as he is, and plays a
mean game of chess, If occasionally she
does something wacky, like setting the
mantle piece afire at Christmas, it's all grist
for Bill's pill,
Daughter Kim, a beautiful redhead with a
blinding smile, is currently a student at
Erindale College, where she is earning
professorial raves for her writing ability,
Smiley's readers know all about her. They
have been following her exploits through
Bill's column, from her first music festival
to her summer hitch -hiking adventures.
Hugh, Bill's handsome son, was also at
university, and Smiley afficianados
remember columns about his piano recital,
his summer working on the boats and the
time he broke a finger Indian wrestling in
Mexico.
The high times were abruptly interrupted
in 1944 when he was shot down over Holland
and imprisoned by the Germans, He came
home with a knee disabled by an S.S. boot,
and with plans to complete his Honour
English course at U. of T. There he met his
dark -eyed wife, and he's been announcing
ever since that she is the root of all his
troubles.
They had only been married a few mon-
ths, subsisting on love and very little money,
when biology threw a spanner into the
works. Ivy (Susie to her friends) became
pregnant and Bill developed T.B. After a
year of separation - he in a sanitorium, she
at home in Wiarton - they both resumed
their college careers, burning the midnight
oil with a baby son as well as a stack of text
books. Bill had his eye on post -graduate
studies in English with a view to teaching,
! but, tragedy intervened. -
Ivy's brother in law, the editor of the
Wiarton Echo was drowned and there was
nobody to take over the paper. Bill stepped
into the breach and for years he lived "the
happy harried life of a small town
newspaper editor, rushing to get ads out,
covering council meetings and Women's
Institute meetings." In addition, he wrote a
personal column, free from editorial and
reporting restrictions. The little column
caught on. Soon other editors were picking It
up and some of them paid him as much as 50
cents a week for it, Before long over eighty
weeklies were reprinting Smiley's Sugar
and Spice, and the proofreading, . mailing
and billing became a family industry for
Bill, Ivy and the youngsters, Hugh and Kim,
When the Telegram Syndicate ' offered to
market Bill's column, everybody was
delighted. No more sticky tongues from
licking envelopes and stamps.!
Although he was established as an editor
and columnist, the urge to teach lingered in
Bill, Off he went to O.C.E, Ivy managed the
paper, juggling interviews, news reports
and the management of a home and family
with cheerful efficiency.
He began his teaching career in Midland,
where he is now head of the English
Department of MSS, Lately he has joined
the Argyle syndicate. The Telegram tried to
retaliate by featuring another well known
columnist in Smiley's format, but his loyal
readers weren't fooled, As far as they're
concerned, Bill Smiley is irreplaceable,
Proof of his readers' affection and in-
volvement arrives in his mailbox almost
every day. When he mentioned a few years
ago that his daughter Kim was dangerously
ill with hepatitis, a flood of letters arrived,
with prayers for her recovery, When he said
that, in his opinion cable TV was ex-
plotation, he was visited by two officials
from a large cable network, who suggested
that perhaps he was only kidding and would
like to retract or modify his statement in a
Bill's attitude to his kids is a typical blend
of sugar and spice. "Those selfish brats? Let
`them look after themselves. I'm going to
enjoy life without worrying about a pair of
rotten ingrates." As he says this, he writes
out a healthy cheque to help with college
expenses.
Is writing the column ever a chore? Yes,
says Bill. "It has to be in the mail every
Tuesday night, and every minute writing it
is hard work. I hate it except when it's
finished. Then I either feel' the glow of
knowing it came off, or a small work of
misery starts eating away at me and I can't
eradicate it until the next column,"
Will he ever write the Great Canadian
Novel? "There are quite a few of them
around already," he says, "by fellows like
Callaghan, Richter, Hugh Garner and Jack
Ludwig. As long as I'm teaching, I won't
have time to start anything so ambitious."
Because there are never enough hours in
the day, Bill often has to turn down in-
vitations to speak, or to conduct writing
seminars. The few speaking engagements
he has undertaken have proven to. be
memorable occasions for his listeners. To a
high school graduating class he 'said,
"Tonight I'm supposed to speak to you about
good reading habits...The choice of speaker
was a hilarious 'piece of miscasting." In
1971, he opened a speech to the top officials
of the Royal Canadian Legion this way:
"You must wonder what a ... piddling little
one-time flight -loot is doing addressing l;uch
an august body, And I wondered the same."
He has served on the panel of judges for
the Stephen Leacock Award for several
years, a role he enjoyed because It kept him
abreast of developements in Canadian
writing, a subject in which he is intensely
interested,
His ambitions are stated in this snippet
from an old column : "When I'm 85, I want to
be known in the Nursing Home as 'that old
devil Smiley, who pinches your bottom
every time you pass his wheel chair,"
In the meantime, every Tuesday night Bill
returns to his century -old brick house and
dumps the day's crop of unmarked essays or
exams on thb kitchen table, He settles
himself at his typewriter with a drink,
(anything wet -Coke, coffee, beer, tea,) and
a smoke ("I'll smoke till I croak ! ") and
percolates his weekly ration of wry com-
ment, Then he starts rapping with the folks
in Collingwood and Seaforth and High River
and about a hundred other very important
,places in Canada.

The newly renovated Dinin. Lounge at the Blyth Inn
10 th DOOP.!. oEB.Iym:
As you know,on Wednesday, Feb.16, the polls will be open for you to decide
whether you are in favour of The sale and consumption of liquor and beer
in cocktail lounges'. Since we have been here, many people have asked why
we don't have cocktail lounges. We feel this is a step forward,
as more and more small communities are voting in favour of this option.
Many of you have seen the improvements made to the Blyth Inn so far,
but we need your support on this question in order to carry on the
improvements:
We want to make the B Iyth Inn an establishment you can be proud
to have in your town. We also feel it will help to draw tourists, vacationers
and but-of-towners to Blyth. This will in turn benefit the community.
Once again, we ask for your support on Wednesday, Feb.16.
Sincere.ly.your.s,
Peggyan Garry Armbruster
P.S.
If anyone is unable to get to the polls to vote, please call
us at 523-9381 and we will be happy to drive you there and back.

your week ahead
BY DR.A.W. DAMIS
Forecast Period: February 13 - February 20, 1972
Should someone insist that they are a good
friend - beware! Little in your chart gives
cause of optimism. So, try to make it through
the week without airing a grievance.
The Planet Venus has now moved well into your
Twelfth House. What does that mean? For
some under your sign, there will be love
secrets; surprises moves in affairs of the heart.
The more light in your eyes, the blinder you
become, You must face the facts of life, con-
cerning a romance that affects you in one form
or another,
Repetition, boredom and your refusal to give
way to the advice given you by an associate, is
inthe scheme of things. Also, there should be
less opposition from co-workers.
Better start listening to something inside. It
seems as though many under your sign will let
their desire to romp and frolic interfere with
daily routine.
Don't experiment with your health, According
to your chart, you're inclined to tamper with a
chronic physical problem. Also, you might over
react to the words of an associate.
The Planet Saturn is going to pin you down.
In other words, your activities with a member
of the opposite sex will be curtailed. A foolish
act on your part is also indicated,
Changes you have long had in mind, concern-
ing a. member of the opposite sex, can now be
made with a minimum of adjustment.
You are undergoing one of those unusual
phases when there is little wrong you can do,
concerning finances, It's highly possible, also,
that an impressive stranger might cross your
path.
Be careful of an emotional explosion that
could trigger a chain of events affecting your
daily routine. Oh, yes! An apology, or at least
admitting a mistake to yourself, is likely.
Bluntly, you're much too self-centered, during
this cosmic cycle. An associate will make plain
their disappointment in your attitude. Also, a
door will close on one relationship, while
another opens.
You're not a student of the theory that you
should continue to make the same mistakes
with a member of the opposite sex. Nonethe-
less, what you consider to be sound logic, more
than likely, will turn out as systemized self
deceit.

How often we , hear the words of . first :Timothy 6,. verse 7
'intoned at, -a funeral service, For we brought nothing.into
this world, and. it is certain we can carry nothing out, This
reminds us of the ,smallness- of man, ,but the greatness. of .
Almighty God,. Many years ago ,in Norway, when money was
rare .among the. poorfamilies, a little boy asked his sister 'to
do .some worts. for, him 'for which he promised to let her hold
a coin in' her hand all day, She did the - work and held the
gleaming coin in her hand'•all day, returning' it to-her'broth-
er at night. Years later', when the boy had become a,'weal
thy man arid had • allowed money to, become uppermost in his -life,. he told this incident about his sister to a friend,
When he had finished the' story :the friend turned' to him; and
said, "That, is allyou do with your wealth now. You - hold it
for. the brief day of .your life; Then what?" May ,we hear the
voice of Go d speaking to, us 'in this promise.
Child of My love, fear not the unknow morrow,
Dread- not the new' demand life makes of thee
Thy. Ignorance doth hold no cause for sorrow
Since what thou knowest not, is known 'to me, -
Thou canst not see today the hidden meaning
Of My command, but thou the light, shall gain,
Walk on' in faith, upon My promise leaning-
- And as thou goest, all shall be. made plain.
' One step thou seest, then go' forward boldly,
One step is far enough for faith to' see,
Take that, and thy next duty shall be told thee,
For step by step thy Lord is leading thee.
Stand not in fear, thy adversaries counting,
Dare every peril, save to disobey, •
Thou -shalt march onall obstacles surmounting,
For I, the • strong, will open up the way,
Wherefore go gladly to the task assigned thee,
Having `My promise, needing nothing more
Than just to know, 'where'er the future find thee,
In all thy journeying, your Saviour goes before,

rir committee to
uci survey
The Social Services Co-
ordinating Committee for Huron
County has been granted funds
for salaries and overhead ex-
penses through the Local Init-
iatives Program, Dept. of
Manpower and Immigration,
Federal Government, to conduct
a survey throughout the county.
The project began on Jan. 31
and will be completed by the
end of May.
The Social Services Co-
ardinating Committee has been
in existence since 1968. It is
made up of Representatives
from social agencies such as
Childrens Aid Society, churches,
the Board of Education, Dept.
of Health, Goderich Psychiatric
Hospital, Probation, Canada
Manpower, The Medical Assoc-
iation and the Dept. of Social
and Family Services,
The committee formed in
the hopes of improving co-
ordination and communication
between all the various mem-
bers and the services they re-
present, Also, they hope to
plan for future development
of new services to meet un-
filled needs in the county as
a community.
A four -man sub -committee
head the workers, They are:
Rev, G, G. Russell - chairman
and representative from the
Ministerial Association, Mr,
B asil Hall, Director of Social
Work, Goderich Psychiatric
Hospital, Mr, William Carter,
Psychologist, Board of Educa-
tion, and Mr, K. M. Streich,
Dept, of Social and Family
Services, Regional Office,
Wingham, Mr. J, E. Fleming,
a consultant from the Dept,
of Social and Family Services,
Toronto, will be assisting in
the setting up and evaluation
of the survey itself. Mrs, I.
MacDonald, Goderich, will be
Survey Director, Interviewers
are Kathleen MacDonald, Ar-
thur Maybury and Susan Bell,
Chris Rompf is Statistical
Clerk. The office phone
number is "Social Service
Survey" 524-7733,
The purposes of the survey
are twofold. First to assess
the overall health and social
services already in the county.
Second, to determine whether
additional services, .such as
family counselling and rec-
reation are needed.
An extensive questionnaire
has been developed which
will be taken to local officials
both elected and appointed,
professional and semi-profess-
ional people, community
leaders and all people who
are regularly dealing with the
public.
As a result of this survey,
the Social Services Co-ordin-
ating Committee will be able
to assess available services
and to make better use of
existing resources and man-
power. In the long run, the
c onmittee will be able to
plan health and social ser-
vices to fulfill the needs
and wishes of Huron County,
as discovered .;through this
survey.
The committee is using the
facilities provided by the
North Street United Church,
44 North Street, Goderich
as the central office and the

If you want a new way of
life without leaving your own
hone, look into the many ways
plywood can help you to alter
and improve your present life
style. For more space, an . up-
dated appearance, or simply
for more comfort and conven-
ience, plywood is most often the
solution.
Because it is strong and rigid
plywood adds strength and re-
duces nailing on most jobs. It's
convenient size and light weight
make it easily handled by one
man and plywood is available
in sanded and unsanded grades
to meet every need, In addition
PMBC EXTERIOR plywoods are
manufactured with waterproof
glue bonded under heat and
pressure. Douglas fir and west-
ern softwood plywoods bear-
ing the PMBC EXTERIOR edge -
mark will stand up to extremes
of climate and use.
Sanded plywood is availabh
in grades for fine cabinet work
or grades to provide a smooth
floor underlayment. Unsanded
plywood is the quickest simpl-
est way to enclose a new addi-
tion or build a new house. Ply-
wood with a tongue and groove
edge is best for roofs and
floors where the tongue and
groove can reduce costly and
time consuming edge blocking.
Probably the greatest advant-
age of plywood is its versatility.
From simple bookshelves
through room remodelling pro-
jects to house additions, PMBC
EXTERIOR plywoods can help
you to something new and dif-
ferent. Look at the many ways
plywood can help to change your
way of life without leaving
your own home,

• insure that provisions had been
made for a "partnership app-
roach",
A member of MDC's exec-
= utive for the past six years,
Reeve Thomas said he had
been concerned lately because
of a strong swing within MDC
to have non -municipally orient-
= ated people In decision-making
= positions. He said he opposed
this trend and had eventually
resigned from MDC's executive
because he felt there was no
sympathy for his "partnership
approach",
However, Reeve Thomas
stated he had been heartened
- by the presentation made to
- Huron County Council at the
= inaugural session in January
- when Manager Walter Gowing
- spoke about involving county.
- council in a more direct way,
"I think we are starting to
- get whatwe wanted," said
Reeve Thomas, "What we're
really interested in is autonomy
in that organization. I think it
is pretty important for us to be
in on the planning. If it is to
= be a provincial government
planning board, then let the
_ cost come from the provincial
government. But if Ilse are
to be partners, that's different.
We don't want to be fee pay-
ing only,"
Frank Cook, deputy -reeve of
Clinton, challenged Reeve
Thomas by charging that:lhe
was confusing council, Cook
claimed it was Reeve Thomas
who hadswung council's decision
against MDC in late 1971, and
it was Reeve Thomas now who
was swinging council's opinion
toward supporting MDC in 1972.

Puttogether plywoodfurniture Council year end report shows deficit
from a Ply * Plan
Have: you' --ever looked long-
ingly at some nifty modern fur-
niture in a store -only to be
turned off by the price tag?
Well take heart, help is avail-
able, in the form of an easy -
to -follow Ply*Plan for this
modern sofa and chair. It's
childs play to build it, and you
only need two sheets of 4x8 in,
fir plywood (1-1/2 if you use
webbing for the seats).
The furniture was designed
and built by a young interior
designer, Leah Errington,
specially for the Ply*Plan
series produced by the Council
of the Forest Industries of Brit-
ish Columbia,
In addition to the clean
modern lines of the sofa and
chair, its bolted construction
makes it easy to disassemble
when you move. You can just
undo the bolts and use the
cushions as packing. Upholstery
MDC
Continued from pg. 11.
Reeve Clarence (Derry) Boyle,
Exeter, agreed, He said he
felt the councillors had decided
wisely in late 1971 to maintain
a county development officer.
Boyle admitted he was "not
sure of the value of MDC'.
"We've got to think of Huron
County and there's no way that
these people in the Stratford -
Kitchener areas are going to'
wary about Huron County,"
observed Reeve Boyle.
"The proper way to put press-
ure on is to withhold the money
for one year," added Boyle,
"We've got nothing to be
ashamed of," said Anson Mc-
Kinley, duputy-reeve of Stanley.
"We've been good paying mem-
bers. Maybe it is about time
we attached a few conditions
to our membership,"
McKinley said that of the
meetings he'd attended, there
was plenty of information to be
received, but there was no opp-
ortunity to assist in setting pol-
icy.
"Membership in MDC should
be giving us some input into
policy, decisions such as whether
or not to limit the growth in
industrial areas," said McKinley.
"But it obviously has not."
In outlining some of the prob-
lems he had found at MDC,
Reeve Thomas said he felt
it was wrong for the manager
of MDC and the president to
sit on the nominating comm-
ittee, He mentioned his
term of office as vice-president
of MDC and said he was
really not surprised when . the
presidency of MDC did not
fall to him,
Reeve Thomas also reminded
council of a brief sent to MDC
asking that organization to pet-
ition the government not to
give approval for any further
industries to locate at Listowel
until that municipality's sewage
problem involving the Maitland
River had been cleared up.
He said that brief had never
been presented to. MDC's
executive,

can just buy the foam and
cover it* yourself.
Construction is simple. You
mark out the pattern on the ply-
wood as shown in the plan dia-
gram, then start cutting. -You
can round the corners with a
sabre -saw, or cut the pieces
square, make some straight cuts
across the corners and sand
them to shape. Drill in, holes
in the sides for the bolts.
Paint it, and presto, it's ready
for use. You'll have attractive
modern furniture that you can
be proud of, and the additional
satisfaction of building it your-
self.

niture" Ply*Plan at your build-
ing supply . dealer. He'll have
it and dozens more for easy to
build projects you can do your-
self.

Education, health and social
services are biting into the
roads budgets all across the'
province, Huron County Engin-
eer Jim Britnell told county
council last Friday, and Huron's
subsidy allotment has been
reduced by about $100,000,
"That's . a little more than
we expected," admitted Brit-
nell,
"The pinch in the budget is
in road construction," explained
One hundred
and seven on
Welfare in
Huron
by SHIRLEY
John McKinnon, director of
the new Huron County Welfare
Department made his first re-
port to county council at last
Friday's session. While some
members agreed that the take-
over from the local level to
the county level had been
smooth and had created fewer
problems than anticipated, it
was clear that other members
were concerned with the work-
ings of the new system.
McKinnon said that 107 fam-
ilies or singles are on welfare
in Huron County at the present
time. He noted that when the
county went into effect, sonic
persons who had ,previously
qualified for welfare in the
local municipality were deleted
from the role while others who
had not qualified were taken on.
J, KELLER
Britnell, "There are severe
limitations on road construction,
in 1972. For a long, long time ,
we got everything we asked for
. what we could afford to
match. Now we can build less
than half what we know is
deficient,"
Britnell's year-end report
from 1971 showed a $8,337,80
deficit in county funds.
"It should be noted that our
county fund deficit of 1,1 per-
cent was encourtered mainly
due to the high winter control
costs for 1971 and because our
bridge work which is subsidized
at 80 percent, was completed
under the estimates, This means
that a higher percentage of
the total budget was paid by
county funds in order to util-
ize our full allotment of
Department of Transportation
and Communications subsidy.
It should also be noted that
the County Roads Department
subsidy. It should also be
noted that the County Roads
Department had a surplus of
County funds in excess of
$10, 000 in 1970."
Throughout 1971, $447, 209, 60
was spent on road construction;
$194, 840, 76 on bridge construct-
ion; $528, 524, 03 on road main-
tenance; and $2, 822.41 on
bridge maintenance, Overall
expenditure for roads in Huron
County amounted to..
$1,901,870.63 in 1971.
"Our grants are being cut
but the regional government
grants are being increased,"
advised Bill Elston, Reeve of
Morris Township,
Reeve Elston speculated that
the provincial government may
be attempting to make the re -

been placed in jobs ° cutting dead
elm trees.
Some local problems involving
welfare recipients were heard,
It was noted that some councill-
ors were concerned that chronic
welfare types were being issued
cheques at the end of each
month and were incapable of
budgeting wisely enough to get
themselves through until the
next check arrived,
McKinnon said his department
was experimenting to find the
best methods to use with each
welfare recipient, and further
noted flexibility would enable
them to., make swift changes
as necessary.
McKinnon did advise of his
interest to rehabilitate as many
welfare recipients as possible..
"If we give these people no
by dangling favourable grant
structures as a reward, He said
that much the same tactic had
been employed by government
to encourage county school
boards,
County Council approved an
annual $500 increase (2.4 per-
cent)
for Engineer Britnell,
It was also pointed out that
the county vehicle supplied to
Britnell for business and person-
al use will now be regarded as
an asset under the new income
tax regulations and it was est-
imated that Britnell would pay
an additional $500 per annum
for income tax because of it.
It was Reeve Hugh Flynn
who questioned council con-
cerning Britnell's car privileges.
It was learned that the county
road engineer in Huron has had
responsibility in handling money,a new car - about every three

bills will begin to pile up again
and they will be back on wel-
fare. If they spend all their
money cheque before the end
of the month, we can give
them an emergency cheque,
But this amount will be taken
off next month's cheque. Hope-
fully, they will become edu-
cated about handling money,"
stated McKinnon.

A custom designed sewing room
for a creative home
Only the homemaker who al-
ready has everything knows
how truly satisfying and crea-
tive it is to work in a well or-
ganized area. This sewing room
has a place for everything and
space for everything,
The built-in plywood furni-
ture has two special drawers
with dividers for different
colors and shades of thread.
Another shallow drawer is for
zippers and another for seam
bindings. Five extra deep draw-
ers are provided for storage,
The fold down plywood cut-
ting table is covered with plas-
tic laminate to match the sew-
ing counter. On the wall behind
the table a burlap covered tack
board holds pattern pieces,
A well lit, walk-in cupboard
has plywood shelves of assorted
sizes to hold a tailor's ham, a
knitting machine and the other
little used incidentals that give
the professional touch to home
dressmaking. Many homemak-
ers forego these little extras
for lack of storage space but
the owner of this delightful
sewing room can find what she
wants in a minute, then put it.
out of sight and out of the
way until it is next needed,
While this'sewing room is a
custom design, many of the
ideas can be adapted and exe-
cuted by the average handy-
man. Almost every home has
some space that can be trans-
formed or added onto, A de-
tailed list of what you want to
keep there and how you want
to use it is the starting point,
and plywood, finished with plas-
tic laminate or a good quality
paint, is the simplest and most
adaptable material to build with,
Careful planning is most im-
portant. In this design the 4x6
ft. cutting table also functions
as a room divider allowing the
owner a desk and personal office
space on the far side, The sew-
ing room has carpet over ply-
wood floors and the carpet is
carried four inches up the wall
for easy cleaning and vacuum-
ing, Another great convenience
is a sliding light fixture above
the sewing counter. This fixture
can take electric plug -ins any-
where along its length.
Any activity is more creative
and more satisfying if it takes
place in well organized space.
Give some thought to what you
need.

No, it's just been a

rain around here in January,
I was laughing, for the.

ters, at the snowmobilers
and skiers.
Winter after winter 1
have sat, glowering inward-
ly, as the snowmobilers
tried to outshout each other
in their boisterous, boyish
manner, each trying to tell a
taller tale than the other
about how he jumped the
creek or went up a
90 -degree slope with no
hands, or some such rot,
Winter after winter, I've
tried to keep the sour look
off my face as the ski
hounds burble their "in"
talk about how many runs
they made, chortle with glee
every time there was a fresh
fall of snow, and brag about
their brand new Scheis-
smaken eighty dollar ski
boots.
For about two months,
the winter of 1971.72 was
known as "Smiley's
Revenge", There was a little
snow in Dece,nber, but it
was almost a green Christ-
mas, There wasn't a snow -
bank worthy of skidding
into on New Year's Eve.
And the fine weather con-
tinued for weeks; lots of
rain, high temperatures and
virtually no snow.
"Let their snowmobiles
sit there and• rust", 1 whis-
pered, barely able to re-
strain a guffaw. "Let their
skis warp and their fancy
boots remain unscuffed", 1
muttered, scarce able to
hold back 'a peal of laughter.
It's not that I have any-
thing personal against these
mid -winter bores, Some of
my best friends are snow-
mobilers, though I wouldn't
want my daughter to marry
one,
And I know some per-
fectly sensible people who
think there is something in-
effably enjoyable in sliding
down a hill on a couple of
inflated barrel staves. The
genuine skier thinks nothing
of spending ten or fifteen
dollars on a Sunday's skiing,
even if he has to cut his

church givings to the bone,
And it's not :jealousy or
spite. Just because I have a
ropy knee ,that would put
me on crutches for two
months if 1 had a fall is no
reason to envy those who
swoop down the hill like. a
bird,
Same with snowmobi-
ling, I have a slight handicap
there, too, 1 can fly a plane
and drive a cat, if there are
good mechanics around, But
when it ,comes to small
motors which stop running,
all 1 can do is stand there
and stare, shifting from one
foot to the other.
It's embarrassing, but I'm
being frank. It's all very well
to talk about carburetors
and pistons and fuel lines if
you know what they are,
where they are, and what to
do if they aren't working.
1 figure I'm lucky if I get
the lawnmower started once
out of three times, without
summoning help, ThuS, the
only picture I can conjure
with me and a snowmobile
in it is a nightmare: the pair
of us out in the woods, ten
miles from nowhere, with
the carboretors seized 'up or
burned out or whatever it is
they do.
No, I don't hate the peo-
ple or the sports. I just hate
snow with a deep and bitter
loathing which must have
some psychological explana-
tion,
Did 1 wet my pants, as a
small child, while playing in
the snow? Did my parents,
sick of my eternal wailing,
throw me into a snowbank
and hastily retrieve me?
I don't know the answer.
But I do know that Smiley's
Revenge has turned into
Smiley's Folly.
As I write, I can't see the
house across the street, It's
snowing sea -gulls, horizon-
tally, with a forty -mile wind
gusting to sixty or seventy,
The skiers are smirking;
the snowmobilers are laugh-
ing out loud, And I'm cry-
ing, deep inside, I knew it
was a dream. But dream we
must, or we are nothing,
Some winter .. , Well, never
mind.
Hand me that shovel,
woman, and stand back, out

Farmers In the Local 360
area can expect to be called
upon shortly by a local member
of the National Farmers Union
who will ask them to sign up
in the NFU according to Murray
Bray president of local 360 of
the Farmers Union,
Mr, Bray4 who farms near
Molesworth said the NFU.is be-
ginning an all-out, cross Canada
membership drive. The goal of ,
local 360, he sald, Is toycanvass
every farmer within its boun-
daries and present him with the
opportunity of taking out a mem-
bership in the NFU.
He said local 360 was making '
a special effort. to sign up dairy
farmers, as are other locals of
the NFUin dairy regions of
Ontario.
"We are making an all-out
effort to get the dairymen in
and make a breakthrough for
collective bargaining in the dairy
industry," he said,
"Our position has been dis-
torted in the countryside so far
as dairy policy is concerned,
Some people have tried to say we
are against orderly marketing
and want to do away with the
OMMB. That's just not true.
"Let me put it this way madam - will you insist on regular brushing, flossing, and, fluoride.
for MY health's sake then?"
What 10 :Iook for when purchasing plywood
Canadians buy and use 1.5
billion square feet of softwood
plywood annually but some-
times the jobs they do cost
more than necessary or the
finish doesn't meet their ex-
pectations because they were
unfamiliar with plywood types
and grades when making their
purchase.
There are many plywoods
manufactured throughout the
world. There are also signifi-
cant differences in methods of
manufacture, species of wood
used, type of glue, and in the
standards to which manufact-
urers adhere,
To manafacture plywood, thin
layers or plies of veneer are
glued together with each layer
running at right angles to the
one immediately above and be-
low it, This cross lamination ac-
counts for plywood's exceptional
two-way strength and dimen-
sional stability. Each sheet of
plywood has an odd number' of
layers so that the grain on the
outside plies is parallel for a
uniform appearance.
Foreign manufactured soft-
wood plywoods are available in
two types: interior and ex-
terior. Interior types are not
suitable for conditions where
moisture or humidity are pres-
ent, and even when manufact-
ured with waterproof glue, ex-
terior types graded according
to the minimum U.S. standards
do not. meet the specifications
of the Canadian Standards As-
sociation,
The specifications of the Can-
adian Standards Association reg-
ulate the manufacture of ply-
wood. Only fully waterproof
glue bonded under heat and
pressure is acceptable to CSA
standards, and they require that
the quality of the plywood ve-
neers be strictly controlled.
Plywood veneers are graded
into four categories. Using these
categories in various combina-
tions, twelve standard grades
of plywood panels are produced
and graded according to the
quality of the surface veneers.
The name of the grade often
indicates its end use; i.e. marine,
concrete form or sheathing grade
plywoods, but the home handy-
man will most often come upon
the words 'Good' and 'Solid' as
grades on the plywood he pur-
chases. A 'good' side has a sur-
face of 'A' veneer. This is the
highest quality of smooth sound
veneer free of knots, splits,
pitch pockets or other open de-
fects, A `solid' grade of ply-
wood has a 'B' surface veneer
allowing. sound tight knots, tight
splits, slightly rough grain and
a limited number of patches
and minor sanding and patching
defects,
Plywood can be purchased
Good Two Sides, Good/Solid,
Good One Side, Solid Two Sides
or Solid One Side. A Good or
Solid One Side will have a `C'
veneer on the back which • al-
lows minor open defects, limited
size knot holes and pitch pock-
ets. These defects have no ef-
fect on the panel's strength.
In general Good Two Sides
is used where a high quality,
paint finish is intended and
where both sides of the panel
will be exposed to view, e.g.
partitions, cabinet doors.
Where relatively good but not
exacting appearance is required,
a Solid grade is used: Good/
Solid, Solid One Side, or Solid
Two Sides depending on whether
or not both sides will be seen
and the importance of the ex-
posure, For instance a Good/
Solid grade is often used for
kitchen cabinets' where the in-
terior finish is less noticeable
than the exterior. Solid Two
Sides is ideal for shelving or
where an opaque paint finish ,
is intended, For panelling, sof-
fits, or sliding doors where one
excellent surface is required,
use Good One Side, Solid One
Side is ideal as an underlay for
thin vinyl floors.
All panels with 'A' or
veneers on the face or back
are sanded to a smooth uniform
finish. Panels with 'C' grade
faces or backs are left un -
sanded for economy.. Unsanded
plywood, graded Sheathing or
Select Sheathing, is used in
structural' applications such as
roofs, walls and subfloors.
Special use plywoods that the
home handyman should know
about are Marine grade, which
has high quality 'B' veneers in
its inner plies, and overlaid
plywoods. Overlaid plywoods are
manufactured with resin -fibre
overlays which improve the ap-
pearance' and durability of the
panel. Panels are designated
