Recreation plan dies from lack of interest A plan to organize a county sports association fizzled Mon- day night when only a handful of people showed up at a meet- ing in Clinton. Despite the fact the meeting had been well publicized in area media, less than a dozen inter- ested persons attended, It had been hoped a county association could be set up to encompass the full range of recreation activities in the county and to seek more provincial and fed- eral funds for sports in the county. SI. Michael's bids 1' 'Well to father Nelly A farewell party was held in St. Joseph's Roman Cath- olic Church Parish Hall on Sunday evening in honour of Rev. J.E.

Father Kelly has moved to St. Patrick Parish, R, R. 5, Merlin and the party was given in his honour by parish- ioners of St. Joseph's Church, Clinton and St. Michael's in Blyth. He served as paster of the double charge since 1965. A native of St. Thomas, Father Kelly served at Windsor, Sarnia, Chatham and Mt. Carmel before coming here. He will be succeeded by Rev. D. J. McMaster of St. Patrick's Church, Kinkcra. Attending the Sunday night festivities were Rev. A. J. Mowatt, representing the Clinton Ministerial 'Association of which Father Kelly had served as president . Dr. Mow- att made a presentation on behalf of the association. Maycr Don Symons and Mrs. Symons also attended as did many people outside the parish and clergymen from drought - out the area. Paul Kerrigan, chairman of St, Joseph's Parish Council chaired the proceedings and along with Mrs, Battye, chair- man of the St. Michael's Council, presented Father Kelly with a coloured television, a tape recorder and a golf cart.

Give yourself a quick pat on the back far all the good d things about the community, then turn your attention to the other side, Too much of the time people see the good things about their community but not the bad, We've heard people talk about our town having better shopping than some other town nearby, cc having a better recreation program, They have a right to be proud of their town, but they are, treading on dangerous ground, for in being proud, they are also close to being complacent. It would be much better for the community, if they would make comparisons with other towns that have better shopping or recreation a whatever, You can only improve by looking at what is lacking and setting out to fill that need. Yes, we have a community to be proud of, but let's set out to make it a better one yet. There is always room for improve- ment and we should always aim high, Only by aiming high and always working tirelessly towards a better community can we be sure that we will continue to have better services than these. communities around us, Surely rne's a solution The concern that is being expressed as to the use that will be made of the Century Old Huron Jail is understandable. County Councillors properly are concerned that any long term use, now that the building no longer is required to serve as a jail, will not result in an added load on an already heavy tax rate, On the other hand citizens across the county are concerned that the historic building be preserved not only as a recog nition of Hurons early days but also as an attraction for future generations. Not often is such a structure available to a county and the fact that it is in Huron adds to its value. Huron is only be- ginning to tap its tourist potential and historical situations such as the jail offers should be taken advantage of at every opportunity. This is not to say that county council is not wise in assess- ing the cost aspect. This is essential. But with an acceptance of its long term value as an histor- ically and architectually sound tourist attraction surely some means of providing for its retention should be found. - from the Huron Expositor Please !Lift pick Inc tIoer$ This is the time of year when it's wonderful for the family to go out together far a walk in the country. It's a pleasure to breath the clean air and feel the warmth of the sunshine and see the greatest gift of May, the wild flowers. It's a custom that might come to an end, however, if people don't soon learn more about the land they live in. So many of those who go out to see the wild flowers can't resist bringing their beauty home with them by picking the flowers. They may be disappointed if they go back the next year and find no flow- ers there. The trillium is the provincial flower of Ontario and one of the most beautiful. However, when it is picked, the parent plant dies because the bulb cannot store food fa the next year with- out the flower, Some other wild flowers suffer a similar fate if picked. Some people try to avoid killing the plants by transplanting them to a home flowerbed,- but because the proper conditions are seldom available in the home garden, the plants usually die. So this spring, enjoy the flowers in their natural home, and leave them there so that years from now your children can take their children to the same spot to give them the thrill of seeing spring flowers. WHAT'S NEW AT HURONVIEW Mr. and Mrs. Bert Finlay of Goderich along with the regul- • ar musicians, Mrs. Mary Taylor and Norman Speir, provided the music for Monday afternoon's - get-together of old tyme music and dancing.

Twenty residents of the Anglican parishes in the County Continued on pg. 3 From my WiflhIOW by SHIRIEY J. KELLER This weekend marks the first • long holiday weekend of the . . apring and summer season. You . guessed it. I'm looking forward Ito it and yes, we're planning to spend it at our trailer. Actually we've been out to the trailer several times this season already - just getting the place in shape for the summer to come. Funny thing about that trailer. The work we do there isn't work at all, - it is sheer enjoyment for my hus- band and me. We've got several things plann- ed both indoors and out, Just simple little improvements which we hope will make things all the more pleasant this summer, The first thing on the agenda is a fishworm holder. What's that? I don't have a clue either. I don't fish and neither does my husband but we decided that since our youngest child had shown such an interest in fish- ing last summer, we'd get him: some fishing gear for his birthday. It just took a quick trip over to Canadian Tire to find just the rod and real we were looking for. And as far as we knew, our boy was outfitted fa fishing, - and our parental duty had been fulfilled. No t so, A good neighbour who is also an avid fisherman told us that bait was almost more essent- ial than the rod. "I doubt that there will be many fish worms among all those trees," said our neighbour. "You are . going to have to take bait with you." That's just what I wanted to hear. In addition to the clothes and the food and the beer and the books from the library each weekend, I'm going to have to tote along a can of worms. "Where do you buy worms?" I asked, hoping he'd tell me of some quaint little place near- by to the trailer, "Why would you buy them?" asked my witty neighbour. "All you have to do is go outside after dark with a flashlight and pick them up off the top of the ground, But you'll need some- place to keep them," Worms, I learned, needed to be alive and well until they were threaded, onto the fish hook, all. squiggly and wiggly and scream- ing with pain:' That necessitates a set-up similar to death -row in the penitentiary .. , someplace to keep the victim in the best of health but secured until the sentence is carried out. A fishworm holder can be eas- ily made by digging a sizeable hole in a cool, but not too cool, area of the yard. When you've scooped out all the earth, you drop in a piece of fine screening. Then you camouflage your trap by filling it with sweet fine, cool, but not too cool, moist earth. Into that haven you place the unsuspecting worms you've coll- ected by the light of the moon and then, to further the crime against those helpless creatures, you snap on a fine mesh lid so the captives cannot escape. They must then just wait until they are crucified_ and sent to a watery grave. But by far the most controver- sial issue this spring is the set of steps leading up to the trailer door. My husband is a one -use builder, I'm a several -uses construction foreman. The argument is raging. Hus- 1 Th73lyth band says a set of steps is. a set of steps and nothing More. If, they take, you from ground level to the door they have played their part. I say that stepping is just the beginning of a whole host of exciting and useful functions for a set of steps. For instance, with a railing around, it could become a planter for flowers. With a roof over it, it could become a porch. Closed in beneath, it could be a storage - shed. Built out at one side, it could rack bicycles. Spread - out across the bottom, it could be a sun deck. And that's - just the beginning. If it had steps up both sides it could make for easy access to the road and to the barbecue. If it was built with foresight it could be a clothesline stand, If it was screened, it could provide a mosquito -free haven on a mosquito infested night. If it was built of cement, it could,. encompass, a barbecue. , There'snot much use to think . about it any more. - The steps will be steps and nothing else, -- and once more my Better Homes and Gardens training goes• - amuck.. - Standard KEITH W.

Hydro's eff- iciency as well as Hydro's prom- otion and advertising campaigns, its internal efficiency and rates, its relationship with its employ- ees and its impact on the envir onment, The study is headed up by J. Dean Muncaster, president of Canadian Tire Corporation, Several of the briefs state that Hydro rates'can be related in-: directly to the internal efficien- cy of the organization, - Hydro's promotion and advert- ising campaigns .are sharply att- acked by critics who claim they have resulted in increased costs and higher rates, In short it is a misuse of the public funds en trusted to the public utility acc- ording to the critics, - The hearings continued. inter -the Workmen's Compensation -Board - this week with the hearing of witnesses now completed, It is - now up to the Committee to bring in its report which is ex- pected in three weeks, J, W. Draper, the Workmen's Compensation Board's director of safety admitted that he erred in judgement when he bought a car direct from Ford of Canada Limited at a special wholesale price at a time when he knew he would have to judge the com- pany's safety record, Mr, Draper bought the year old car for $2,645, but it would have cost him $4,027 new on the open market, The car had gone 4,700 miles, He was allowed $1,100 trade in price for his. 1967 Mus- tang, .. The safety director said that at the time he bought the car in March 1970 he knew that Ford had been assessed more then $260,000 for its poor safety re- cord at the Oakville plant in 1968 and he knew the company had appealed the levy. Mr. Draper in his capacity as safety director recommended that the appeal be turned down after he had read the safety inspection report of the Indust- rial Accident Prevention Assoc- iation, and this was done. In June 1970, Ford appealed again and as a result of a further re- port, which committee memb- ers called worse than the first, Mr, Draper recommended drop- ping the levy and it was dropped, Meanwhile at the Public Accou- nts Committee, members were , told that the Department of Mun- icipal Affairs in March 1968 im- properly charged,the $38, 000 costs of refurbishing Darcy McKeough's Ministerial Offices to three other unrelated accounts. Norman Ellison, an accountant in the Provincial Auditor's Off- ice, said the $38,000 costs should have been charged to funds set aside for maintenance of the office of Mr, McKeough - now Provincial Treasurer, Instead these costs were taken out of funds allocated by the Legislature for the Municipal Affairs Department of Comm- unity Planning Branch, its Mun- icipal Finance Branch and its Administration and Assessment Branch, The Committee is continuing its study of these and other _ accounts of Government Depart- ments, Feeration speaker warns 01 Integration Huron County farmers were. told last week that if vertic- al integration in farming is to be stopped, farmers will have to get together and use exist- ing legislation to control supply of farm products onto the mar- ket, Ed Thompson, a Guelph - area farmer and director of the Ontario Federation of Ag- riculture, told the farmers that the legislation in on the books which will help farmers save the family farm., He said farmers must do the task themselves using this legislation. "If we let .gover- nment do it we're nuts", he told the 2S directors present. Mr. Thompson told the group that efforts to define just what vertical integration is, are difficult. "1 haven't heard of two people who think its the same thing" he said. He used the broad term of non-farm business particip- ating in the farming business for his talk, He gave five reasons why companies get into the farming business. Some, he said, get into farming to increase profits in their primary business. He gave as an example a feed company which pro- duces pigs on a farm to increase its profits on the feed it produces. A second reason, he said, could be that some comp- anies have a'genuine de- sire to farm, A third reason could be that a company ex- tends credit to a farmer and when he cannot pay takes over the farm, either as the result of a deliberate policy or because they have no other choice to rescue the money owed to them. Some companies may be- come involved in farming, he said, because they are the only ones capable of buying a large farming operation that is for sale. He said he had not heard of any such case yet, but that in the next few years it was a dis- tinct possibility because some farms were growing so large that no individual could raise the capital to buy them, The fifth r eason for companies to get into farming, he said, was that they jumped in for a fast buck when prices were good. As for solutions, Mr, Thom- pson said that licensing of producers was the first method. "If we are,opposed to licensing farmers, we can give up getting these people out of the farming business", he said. People could not be legislated against for what they are doing, so legislation'must be again', t who is doing the farming. "If we are going to licence farmers, we should have the responsibility of licensing policing ;ourselves as" a body", he said, in the same manner as doctors and lawyers. Mr. Thompson said he saw no way of getting companies that had a genuine desire to farm, out of farm- ing. He said that credit and contracts between farmers and suppliers or processors were the biggest reason vertic- al integration has grown so rapidly. He called for un- limited, but responsible, credit to farmers. He said that the present $15,000 credit limit at most banks tied a farmer down too severely. If a farmer had credit from an outside source other than a supp- lier, Mr. Thompson said, the farm of a man -that got in troug farm of a man that got in trouble would go on the public market, HURONVIEW Continued from pg. 2 and ten from other faiths joined together for the service.

He recom- mended an open end mortgage on which the farmer would pay the interest yearly but would only pay back the principal if the farm was sold. He said the government would have to be involved in solving this credit problem. He said farmers have to be educ- ated in how to incorporate in order to gain a financial advant- age, especially in obtaining credit for the purchase of large farms. Some way must be found, he said, to stop people from jump- ing into the market when the price is good. Licensing is per- haps the answer to this problem, he said, THE BLYTH STANDARD, May 17, 1972, PG, 3 , Elliott INsurai�e Agency BLYTH -- ONTARIO.

JOHN G. ROBERTS, BELGRAVE The Gospel of Good Intention Surely all parents, looking at their children, cannot help but have dreams and visions about their future, All the poss- ibilities inherent in young children fill their minds with ideas as to what they may become. Scholars, professions for men and women, politicians, community leaders, success in busi- nessa happy, healthy and prosperous life; all come up for consideration. Perhaps mingled in these intentions are some of the disappointments of their own youth, or maybe the frustrations of plans they once had for themselves. Sometimes these dreams remain just dreams, But at other times they are imposed on their offspring with perhaps disastrous results. Good intentions can so often be painful things. The child may be quite inadequate for the dreams of its parents. It may grow up to desire a quite different kind of life for it- self, The sense of imposi tion the child has or the sense of frustration the parent has could lead to estrangement of the most difficult kind. And although the imposition 'itself may cause problems, the heaping of all the good intentions on one member of a family can lead to difficulties with other children who may feel neglected. It seems to be a characteristic of rejection in our day, that it is good intention that is rejected. The rejection of parents, of law and order, of government, is the rejection of good intention, Rarely does anyone suggest that these are the forces of evil and malevolence, but in spite of recognising their good intentions, their dreams and visions are not will- ingly accepted. Along with other facets of 'establishme nt' the good intent- ions of the Church are sometimes rejected as well. The message seems to be, "We will make a better man of you; we will make a better woman of you; we will make a better society for you to live in, a better world for you". Now there is no suggestion that good intentions are not good! The Church's visions of a better life and a better world must be proclaimed and pursued. But they are no sub- stitute for the Good News. The Good News of the Gospels does not point to where men are going but rather to where they have been. The Good News seeks to give men a firm foundation far their lives and allow them to build on that foundation. It" is the encounter with Jesus that provides that foundation and that vision. It is not by chance that the central fact of the sacrament of Baptism is not the promises made by the parents, however sincere, but the confessions of faith in Jesus as Saviour and Lord. This is the Rock upon which alone a house can be built to stand.

The first and most costly method is to work sand,, manure cr peat into the soil, Far many homeowners -this can be both expensive and impractical..,. The second method is to let nature help, says D, B, Mc- «Neill,'horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agricult- ure and Food, Dig the soil to spade depth in strips three to four feet wide, Leave a strip of 18 to 24 inches undug bet= coop ween the rows, Walk only on the undug part and leave the lumpy, wet soil exposed to the sun. To prevent the lumpy, newly worked soil from shrin- king and baking, it should be raked periodically. In bright, sunny weather it will not belong before the seedbed is ready for planting. The undug strip can then be dug and handled in the same manner or left as a walk be- tween the beds, Ideally, both methods should be used: careful tillage in the spring, plus the addition of sand and organic matter.

(Bill) Scott of Rouyn -Noranda, Quebec on his retirement from the C. N.R, after more than 40 years of service or employment, The party was held in the Legion in Rouyn on Saturday, March 18, His earlier days were spent in Eat Wawanosh township in Huron County before he moved to the North Country and fin- ally to Quebec, Bill is the brother of Mrs, Jack Fairservice of Blyth, Mrs. Cecil Forester of Palmerston, Stewart of Woodstock, George and Andy of Wingham and Jim of R . R . #1, Blyth, Ontario. Mr. Chairman, Hon. Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: Sitting here this evening I was reminded of a TV show that I had watched not long ago. It was about this politician that retired after 23 years of service and he said that if he had known that everyone was going to say such nice things about him he would have retired years ago, and I suppose that is what Broth- er Bill is thinking right now. But Bill has retired at the ideal age, and if anyone doesn't know what the ideal age is, it is when a man is old enough to know what he wants and still young enough to enjoy it, and can't we just see that Bill is really young enough to enjoy it, Bill belonged to a special breed of railroad men that is gradually cying out, they possess talents that many of us could never -rpqrn 844 SNysr master even if we lived to be a hundred. They had knowledge of track and bridges that we just don't know anything about, and that along with his pleasing personality has made him a prince among men and a valua- ble aluable employee of the Railroad. And the spontaniety of the response to our list was testimony in itself of the high esteem in which he was held, So to you and your wife on behalf of my wife and myself and our brother Railroaders best wishes for continued good health for many more years. Bless you both and thank you ladies and gentlemen. B Lyth` UCW hears of, Europe The general meeting of the Blyth U. C, W. was held on Monday, May 15, at 8:00 p. m. with the Harmony Unit in charge.

Fast, For several weeks, she has been floating around aimlessly, telling her mother, who is a fuss- budget of the first. water,_ "Stop worrying, Mom. There's not that much to do. It's a simple wedding, and I'll be here to help you get ready;" Typical of to- day's youth, Naturally,she wasn't here most o_ f the time, and she didn't help at all, though her intentions were impeccable. Then fate stepped in, A week before the wedding, last when the throttle was going to be opened wide for the final drive, her mother went into hospital. For the kid, it was like having a malicious goose snatch from under you the magic carpet on which you are flying , For me, it was like pick- ing a bouquet of wild flowers for the wedding, and discovering that what I had picked was poison ivy, This is Tuesday, and the bride still hasn't got her wedding dress. This is Tues- , day, and the estate looks much as the world must have when old Noah finally found some dry land, The house was to be spicked and spanned. The house is a shambles, The yard was to have been im- maculate, The yard is 'a melee of last fall's leaves, broken picnic table and lawn chairs, fallen limbs and cat dirt. Don't worry. We'll cope. We'd better, or Kim and I will betaken away, a bout 3 p.m. on Saturday, by the chaps in the white coats. ' Today I came home and found my baby wringing her hands and head and feet, She'd been going like a whirlwind, doing all those "little things" she kept in- sisting her mum not worry about. Like clean shirts and socks for dad, shopping, cocking, washing dishes. Ordering flowers, Trying to get shoes to match the non- existent wedding dress. Feeding and throwing out two cats, one of them preg- nant; visiting her mum. Same for me. Trying to get a gang of and -to rake the yard, and it rains all day. Trying to cope with. people who want to know whether the wedding is on or off. It's on. I think. %hY Bill's turn as, Father of Bride But there are going to be some short-cuts, in which I am a firm believer, and of which I have tried to con- vince my wife for years. The windows will not be washed. Who looks out the windows during a wedding ceremony, anyway? Anyone who does should be ejected, The furniture . will be dusted, But only in the livingroom, where the event will take place. 1 don't in- tend to have a lot of people running around our bed- rooms and wiping their fin- gers across the ledges. In fact, I don't intend to have a lot of people running around our bedrooms at all. If they want to look at something, they can go out- side and look at my two dead elms. The cups and saucers will not all be washed, They will be dusted. The silver will not by polished. It, too, will be wiped with a dry cloth, and if there's an egg -stain on a spoon, tough toe -nails. Everything bulky, ugly, or out of place, will be stuf- fed smartly into the base- ment or the attic, and the • doors thereto locked. I've found that Kim and I, without her mother around to heckle us, have a similar basic philosophy: "What's it all going' to mat- ter ten years from now?" Oh, we're not complete nudniks. • I will shine my shoes and she has promised THE BLYTH STANDARD, May 17, 1972. PG, 15. me she won't get 'married in a T;shirt, even though she has to wear her brand-new peach=boloured nightie over jeans. - There ll be solemn vows, and candles and food and drink -and children of all ages. What more could you want for a happy wedding? There's only one thing that upsets me, If . her mother is out of 'hospital in time, she'll give us hell for practically everything, And if she isn't, we'll all regret it all our lives, But don't worry. It won't be Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. But my daughter will be a beau- tiful bride if I have to dress her myself, I'll let you know. 5/115 - \: .�.!�.) DRIOE DFFEN.INFty!

Dependable and economical prices are part of our act, Behind the Scenes .. by Keith Roulston One of the things that used to. make me boil most during the years I lived in the city, was the patronizing attitude taken by most people to life in small towns. This attitude is no where more prevalent, of course, than among those of my own profession, the , journalists, They are the ones who in the press call about any- thing smaller than Hamilton a "small town", Such small towns are always supposed to be places of hardship for the residents. Well, after several years in Toronto, this is a hardship I can stand. 'The people in cities always like to make out that people from smaller centres are a little backward and don't know much. It's been my experience, however, that the shoe is on the other foot as often as not. Most of us realize how big Toronto is, how high the build- ings are, how crowded the streets are and just about any- one who visits the city has seen their pride and joy, the beautiful city hall (something which, by the way, many Torontonians have never seen). What I find most amazing about most city people, how- ever, is that they are surprised at how big our smaller towns are, They are surprised that we i. have stares where you can buy almost anything they can (and in the case of Blyth can get some things they can't because of the mills). They're astound- ed by oia recreation facilities, etc,, the paved streets and the shear size of the place. You see they've been brainwashed for i so long into thinking that every town outside of the major cities I is just a cross-roads with a ;dial store, that they can't .' think any other way. They brag about the availab- ility of theatre in their city (al- though few go), but in the past three weeks, we've seen three different live theatre product- ions and missed one (in Wingham) because we just couldn't squeeze everything in. Methinks they' d be surprised at the quality of our non-professional theatre too. One of the most frequent jokes in the cities is the one told with a smirk about the small towns where they roll up the streets at eight o'clock. Anyone who has been through Blyth just about any night of the week knows there is plenty doing to keep people on the streets, often until well after midnight. One of the unfairest slights against small town living is the attitude toward small town doc- tors and other professionals. People in the cities firmly be- lieve that all the best in any profession come to the cities and that only the third -raters or the has-beens are left in the small towns. They're wrong, of course. We have so many clever people in our small towns among the professionals, many who are every bit as good as their city counterparts, but who Lave made the decision that they want a better life than that available in the cities. They are often far more dedicated than those who stay in the cities because they can't just shut up the office and go home at five, but must be on;call at all times. There are many other illusions harboured by city people about small towns that it would be fun to puncture, but perhaps it would be better not too. The illusions may be the only thing that make life bearable in the concrete ant hill.
