Harvey Snell of Snell's Food Market conducted a poll among his customers in the past month which showed 32 were, in fav- our of Monday 'closing and 12 were for Wednesday closing, The group also voted to continue meetings through the closing summer months in _order to properly prepare the Board of Trade's participation in the Thresher's Reunion and the Fall fair. In connection with the' Re- union,' the Board- voted- to con- duct a, sidewalk ,sale along. main street on the Friday and Saturday of the_ three-day '- reunion. The .work .committee of the Board is also ,to arrange for banners and other: publicity for the event. Murray Scott, president' of the 'Blyth Agricultural Society was also present to discuss how the Board 'of Trade and individual members could participate in the. Blyth Fall Fair in September, Under discussion were the, parade, the commercial displays and the Queen of the Fair contest in which' merchants have been asked to: sponsor contestants. A special meeting of the Board of Trade will be held in June and all new members will be urged to attend, The speaker will be a representa- tive of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce who will dis- cuss the :benefits of the Board affiliating with the Chamber of Commerce. A lunch will be served following the meet- ing. The Board also voted to award an honourary member- ship to Del Philp for his work in helping the merchants with their Christmas draw, ume-filled gasol'ine tanker poses threat One man was killed and two persons were injured Saturday afternoon but it took fast action by Blyth Fire department and a little bit of luck to prevent this tragedy from turning into a major catastrophy. A car driven by Charles ... Scott, 67, of Auburn was head- ing north on highway 4 at the southern outskirts of Blyth and was turning the corner to take County Road 25 to Auburn when it came into collision with a gasoline tanker truck owned. by Imperial Oil Company and driven by Phillip Veldmans of London. The large truck had two tank trailers. The collision drove the Scott vehicle 30 feet back from the corner and onto the east bank of Highway 4 with the car facing east. Mr. Scott was killed instantly and his wife, Elsie, 66 injured badly. She was reported in satisfactory condition on Wednesday in Clinton Public Hospital, The truck jack-knifed and blocked the highway with the cab facing north, in the dir- ection from which the truck had come while the middle trailer was diagonally across the highway and the second trailer faced south. The driver was injured but on Wednesday was reported in satisfactory condition in -Clinton Hospital. A station wagon owned by Ken Cooke Florists of Clinton was side-swiped in a secondary collision. The immediate danger was from the tanker, which was empty of fuel but still danger- ous because the tanks were full of gas fumes. Blyth Fire Department was on the scene in minutes but were hampered by crowds of curious on -lookers who crowded around the vehicles, Fire chief, Irvine Bowes ordered all spectators back at least 200 feet and prohibited smoking. However, he said later, if the tanker had blown up it would have had the force of 10 to 1S cases of dynamite. It would have killed many people, he said, and could have endang- ered further explosions at the Sparling Propane Storage yard nearby, causing a tragedy of major proportions. • Firemen removed the batt- eries from the truck and filled the tanks with foam and spread foam around the truck to prevent fire. Led by John Hesselwood, a first aid instructor with the St. John's Ambulance and mem- bers of the fire department who had had first-aidtraining, efforts were made to help the injured and free Mrs. Scott from the wreckage of ,her car. Dr, R. W. Street was only minutes behind the'fJre depart- ment in arriving• at.the scene. It took nearly 90 minutes for firemen to free the body.of Mr. Scott from his battered cat, Highway 4 was blocked for more than two hours by the wrecked tanker before the fire danger was relieved and the body removed from the wreck- age to allow the truck to be towed away. Mrs. Scott and Mr. Veld - mans were taken by ambul- ance to Clinton Hospital where they were admitted and given emergency care, Ontario Provincial Police from Wingham and Goderich investigated the accident. Funeral service for Mr. Scott was held Monday from Knox United Church, Auburn with Rev. Stanley McDofiald and Rev. Hugh Wilson. Mr. Scott had been mailman on Auburn Rural Route Two for 32 years. 2.: THE BLYTH STANDARD, May 31, 1972, Standard/ Edit�rials J 1101 SUOI1I bad guy Nobody is willing to admit it yet, but it seems to be getting increasingly more clear that Edgar Benson wasn't such a bad economist after all, Last, year, bantered by his critics as to why the government was unable to halt the trend to upward unemployment, he said the real cause was that Canada was undergoing a period unlike that of any other country in the western world in which so many people were entering the labour market that even in good times, industry and commerce were unable to keep up. Figures since then have been steadily proving him right, The last figures released by Statistics Canada show that more people are employed now than ever before and that we are creating jobs at a record rate in ,Canada, yet unem- ployment inched down only slightly. Without looking at the unemployment figures, one would think we were in good economic shape, Most businesses are reporting high first quarter profits. Investment is picking up all the time and inflation, while still a worry, is not a dan- ger, In fact, the federal government after giving big tax boosts just last fall in which it disposed of a billion dollars, found this spring that it still had a billion dollars more in the treasury than it expected, and so gave more tax cuts in the budget. Even such staunchly Tory voices as the London Free Press have: xecently commented that Canada has been doing a much better job at managing the economy that the U.S. where unemployment is now higher and inflation is still a big problem. Yet poor old Edgar gets none of the credit, In fact, mention his name to almost anyone and you'll probably get anything from a frown to a few obscene words thrown in your face. Except fcr the odd picture in the paper of Edgar out looking at some new weapon ordered by his department of defence, one would thing he faded into the woodwork when he gave up the finance ministry. And after all the trouble he's had, Edgar probably likes it that way. UnD81'1WS assei A queer quirk in the collective Canadian personality is that bilingualism, our possession of two official languages, is widely considered a liability, instead of, as it actually is, a major national asset and cause for pride. All Canadians are not compelled to know both their country's languages and many Canadians speak neither correctly -- but the advantages of some knowledge of both are enormous. Some of these advantages are practical; the ability to reply in the same language in which one is asked a question; to read La Presse and the Free Press with equal ease; to possess two ways of articulating any idea with the option of using the one which says it best. Culturally, knowledge of English and French lay open the treasures of the two greatest literatures of the modern world. But perhaps Canada's two -language status is most valuable when a bilingual Canadian travels, For he can go scarcely any- where without finding someone who can understand him. In the majority of the new nations of Africa, English or French is. almost certain to be one of the official languages. The same is true in the nations of the former British and French empires on the other continents. Bilingualism is our unperceived asset. We should be enjoying our two languages instead of squabbling over them, Rather than threatening anyone's job for not knowing one of them, we should be devising an educational system through which every Canadian child will learn and love both the tongues which are his inherit- ance. - contributed - fashion turnaround Isn't it fascinating the turn -around the fashion industry has been experiencing? Yes, women still spend millions on creams, makeup, dyes, deo- dorants, diets and fat farms -- but they are thumbing their noses at fashion. Disregard for "the color and hemline this year" can be laid at the door of young hippie women who said to heck with it about five years ago -- and many older women sighed withrelief and • followed their lead. The fashion business is really in a tizzy. First signs turned up two years ago when the fashion -decreed midi skirt failed to sell, Right now on almost any street women are dressed as they please in anything from pant suits, jeans and leather jackets -- to the old reliable tweed suit with skirt at whatever length desired. The Academy Award ceremonies this spring were a revelation to the fashion -conscious. In other years actresses strutted to the podium swathed cc unswathed in plunging necklines, Plunging backlines or glittering with lace and sequins. This year the awards were much more informal, with women dressed in everything from simple long dresses to pants and turtle -necks -- comfort and individuality was the keynote in the • audience too, . From a woman's view the most pleasing, aspect of the fashion industry's discomfort is to realize that fashion dictators have no one to dictate to. Gone are long articles in the media telling them where to put the hemline or bustline, The few which do get printed -- just aren't being noticed. - contributed - NURONVIEW The Kingsbridge Women's Instit- ute were hosts on Wednesday afternoonfor the May birthday party with volunteers from Beta Sigma Phi and Clinton Christian Reformed Church.

From my wIAdo by SHIRLEY J. KELLER When you are six years old and the sun is shining you don't take time to consider your moth- er. That's what I found out re- cently when my;youngest son and I spent the whole day togeth- er - alone - and at the family trailer. I had purposely kept our young- est up a little later than usual so he would rest a little while long- er in the morning - and let moth- er rest with him. I discovered my plot hadn't worked when the little lad stroked my face about 7:00 a, m. and told me he wanted to go fishing. I'v never fished in my life. I've accompanied a few fisher- men in my time as they fished, but I've not been inclined to try my hand at fishing. It just has not appealed to me. You can imagine my enthusiasm at 7:00 a.m. for a fishing jaunt with my boy who also•did'nt know anything about the sport. "You have to have worms," I told him, my diobolical mind alert as I rolled over in my bed, "Get dressed and go outside and find some." He must have obeyed because I heard1not another word from him for about five precious min- utes. But like the swallows, he was back, just as persistent as ever. "There aren't any worms out there," he told me. "But we can. buy some. They are only fifty cents for a dozen." "Go ask if you can buy half a dozen," I told him, hoping that this errand would buy me more time to snooze. Four minutes later he was back again. "They won't split them," he re- ported. "Let's have breakfast, mom. I'm hungry and the morn- ing is almost over. " There was no use to argue. I climbed out of the sacic, dressed grudgingly andwentto the galley to whip up sonny's snack. "You gotta put the fishing pole together, " my youngest informed me. I remembered, too well, that he was right. His fishing rod had come securely wrapped in one of these confounded plastic packages. The contents were complete, needing only to be assembled. I�11 approach this thing system- atically, I told myself. lay everything out on the table and begin at the beginning and surely, oh surely, I111 have enough brainpower to figure it out. My son stood at my knee watch- ing. Waiting. Wondering. As I figured the sinkers and the weights and the leaders and the flies, my son observed, fully confident, I Thi3lyth suppose, that I knew exactly what I was doing. • Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I had a rod assemb- led with the reel on one end and the hook on the other. It looked good, and my son was satisfied. I was proud as punch. We set off for the lake, stopping only long enough to buy a can of worms and to have our rod checked by a couple of exper- ienced fishermen who only shook their heads in disbelief. Once at the water's edge, fear gripped me, I suddenly realized that one of those creepy, crawly creatures in the can was going to have to be threaded onto the hook. I prayed for strength and received something better - a teenaged boy who loved to fish who was willing Continued on pg. 3 Standard KEITH W.

P. P.

The bill closely follows recommendations made• last year by the Ontario Law Reform Commission. No longer will people be found blameless or blameworthy at in- quests and'jurors will be permitt- ed to make findings of fact only although they still will be en-, couraged to make recommend- ations. The new Act will forbid Coron- er's juries to find criminal or civil responsibility in cases be- fore them. The Province plans no further steps to regulate the manufacture sale or use off_ireworks despite one death and several.. injuries. Color of ground beef indicates freshness The color of packaged ground beef concerns many consumers, Packaged meats are often an attractive, bright red on the outer surface and a darker purplish -red or grayish -red on the inside. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Min- istry of Agriculture and Food, explain why. All meat is a dark purplish red when first cut. This is the natural color of the pigment in the meat. This pigment is very similar to the hemoglobin in humans - it contains iron and reacts to oxygen in the same way. The dark color of the fresh cut meat quickly becomes bright red when exposed to air and oxygen, as this pigment picks up oxygen in a manner - similar to the way hemoglobin carries oxygen in humans. .Meats are co rered in a clear film through which air can penetrate. The outerlayer is therefore in contact with some oxygen, and is the bright col- a consumers have come to expect. The meat in the centre is shielded from oxygen and remains the dark color it was when first ground. The bright red surface and darker center is really a sign of freshly. ground meat, some serious, of young people over the May 24th holiday. Regulation of sale and use is left to.individual municipalities and Premier William Davis said he believes this is sufficient and that a number of municipalities have brought in relevant by-laws. • The Premier also said that a ban on,the manufacture of fire- works has not been considered, but he suggested the Govern- ment could profitably study standards of manufacture. The Department of Agricult- ure and Food introduced a bill to establish and maintain cer- tain standards for riding stable operators. These ,operations have great- ly increased in number in the last few years with greater em- phasis .on outdoor recreation, The Ontario Humane Society has been asked to investigate in several instances the aspect of cruelty to animals on the part of some operators of riding stables. These instances have not been numerous but the Humane Society did make sev- eral everal recommendations which have been incorporated in the Bill. 4 Used Car Savings 1969 PLYMOUTH SATELLITE, 2 dr. , hardtop, ' 8 auto. , power steering, power :brakes, radio, 1968 PLYMOUTH FURY III, 2 -door, hardtop, '8 automatic, 'power steering, power brakes,' andxradio.- 1968 CHRYSLER .2 -door Hardtop. 1966 BELVEDERE, 6 automatic, 4 door,, sedan.. 1967 CHRYSLER, 4 door, sedan, p. s. , p. b. and radio. 1967 DODGE POLARA 500, 2 door, hardtop, 8 auto.-, p, b. , p. s. and radio.

My young son watched,enthralled as our newfound friend tore the helpless worm into pieces, thread- ed one wriggling end onto the hook and left the other wriggly part wriggling in the can. "Could you show my son how to cast the line? I asked, playing his eagerness to the absolute limit. He would be delighted he told me, throwing the line into The water. • "Now reel it in slowly,." the boy told my son, handing him the rod.

THE:BLYTH STANDARD, May 31, 1972, Its for Detier iinnniinicatio by. SHIRLEY J. KELLER A brief, slow session of Huron County Council in Goderich last `Friday began with a tour of Domtar's salt mines. After lunch, the members settled down for an afternoon of reports .` which opened with one by Dr. Frank Mills, Acting Medical Officer of Health, and Bill Empey, sanitation inspection chief, Dr. Mills and Mr, Empey stress- ed the need for improved comm- unication at the public pools in Huron County, Both men said it was of the utmost importance to have one person in charge of the operation of the pool so that the health inspector has someone in authority to whom he can go with regard to pool problems, They said that the Huron County sanitation department aims far water in the pools which is "drinking safe" and noted some of the ways in which this ideal level of safety can be maintained for the pro- tection of swimmers. A motion introduced in coun- cil by Gerry Ginn, Deputy - reeve of Goderich Township and Ken McMichael, reeve of Turnberry for the executive committee to study the feasi- bility of decreasing the urban road rebate by 10 percent over the next two years, was lost in a recorded vote. Ginn suggested that of the 20 percent of the road rebate over which Huron County has control, only 10 percent be given to the urban municip- alities. In this way, Ginn felt the inadequacies of taxation in some departments such as welfare and hospital funding, could be offset in favor of the rural mur icipalities, Goderich Reeve Paul Carr- oll said Ginn's suggestion was only for a "short-term" sol- ution and would provide no "long-term", relief. iteeve Charles. Thomas, Grey, said the tax review committee should make a report to county council concerning their findings be. fore any` further action is taken, Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith, reminded coun- cil that the matter of urban road rebates had been settled two years ago - and should remain settled, A $25, 000 landscaping job ' at Huronview was approved by county council, The estimate includes trees and shrubs, side- walks and pathways, patios, a planter, benches,lighting, engineering and contingencies etc. for the acre field in front of the building. "Because the county share of our 1972 budget will be consid- erably less than the criginal estimate due to the inception of Extended Care Benefits on April l', and whereas it is reas- onable to assume that the cost will be considerably less if the project is completed this year, rather than staging it oyer five years, your committ- ee recommends the project be completed this year and re- quests, your approval of the Ministry of Community and Social Services, who would be responsible for 50 percent ar $12, 500 of the total cost," reported Hugh Flynn, reeve of Hullett and chairman of . the committee of management of Huronview. In other business, council learn- ed that it will be August cr Sept- ember before more details will be available on the matter of thefuture of the Huron County Jail, OM THE MMSTER'S S11JDY by JOHN G. ROBERTS, BELGRAVE. "THE GOSPEL" The Protestant Work Ethic has had a lasting effect in western culture, Men feel that they deserve all they get. Any rewards that are due to them they have earned, "What a man sows, that shall he also reap". This has undoubtedly coloured to a large extent the interpretation of the gospel, The esteem in which is held 'the selfmade man'; the honour given to the one who made something of himself from 'humble beginnings'; the sense of justice implied in this; has led to an understanding of the gospel in which a background of moral propriety, of social responsibility, a heritage of worship and service, play a vital role. With this kind of foundation under his feet, man can feel . fairly certain that he is destined for the kingdom of God. It almost amounts to man feeling that he has fulfilled all the re- quirements and therefore God can hardly deny him his rightful place in the Kingdom. The reason the proclamation of Jesus caused such a furor amongst the religious leaders of His day was because He vehem- ently denied any such thing. He said in so many words, "the harlots and tax -gatherers go into the Kingdom, and not you." It is not to be wondered at that this kind of statement, which upset all the recognised values of men, created such anger and resentment. This is not to say Jesus prefered the unrighteous to the right- eous man, or the sinner to the good, it stressed rather the cent- ral theme of His message. Before God nothing at all can be used as an.instrument of bargaining. If man has a living relation- ship with God it is by the grace and mercy of God alone! And that Love is offered to all men whatever their state. "It is the sick that need the physician", The sinner was just as acceptable to His Father as anyone else, Jesus did not exclusively seek the company of sinners and outcasts; He just did not exclude them. His justification for His actions was simply that that was what God was like, The central figure in the 'parable of the prodigal son' was the father - not the runaway son! Jesus refers constant- ly to the forgiveness of sins in terms of a debt removed, The reaction He sought was one of amazement and unbridled joy that this release had cost the despairing sinner nothing but "repent and believe". No wonder this was such Good News to so many. Any renewal in the life of the individual Christian or in the life of the church can only come through a renewed sense of tremendous gratitude for what God in His mercy has done for all men.

Fresh rhubarb makes a delicious dessert Spring rhubarb, fresh from home gardens or the supermark- et, has a distinctive flavor that adds variety to any meal of the day. Really a vegetable, but usually served as a fruit, rhub- arb is oftern dubbed "pie plant" .because of its popular use in pies. In selecting top quality rhub- arb, food specialists at the Ont- ario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food suggest that fresh, small to medium stalks, still firm and brittle, are best. Wilted, droopy stalks will be stringy with poor flavor. For delicate flavor and tenderness, select young stems with immature leaves. Oversized, old stalks become tough and develop a more acid flavor. Bright ruby - red color is another key to flay - cc. Keep rhubarb cold and humid. Store in the refrigerator in a tightly closed plastic bag to pre- vent wilting, and use it quickly. For rhubarb sauce, cook covered with sugar and a small amount of water or red wine for about 10 minutes, or bake covered at 350° for 40 minutes. Peeling the stalks is not necessary -- the peel adds color and holds pieces together, Serve as a meat sauce with chicken, turk- ey, or pork, ar as a fruit sauce for breakfasts and simple desser- ts, Layered with ice cream and strawberries, rhubarb sauce makes a delicious parfait. For heartier appetites, bake rhub- arb in traditional pies, cobblers, and crisps. The regular monthly meeting of Knox United Church Women was held in the Sunday school room of the church with Unit 2 in charge.

Ru les of the road apply to farm veh is les Vehicle operators must keep their heads when travelling on the road, says Hal Wright, farm safety specialist, Ontario Minis- try of Agriculture and Food, The increase in custom work and use of acreage away from the home farm has increased the number of farm vehicles on the road and the reequency of accidents. The Slow Moving Vehicle warn- ing sign, a red and fluorescent orange triangle, must be attach- ed at the rear of the vehicle. This is required by law. If road travel is extensive, in- stall side mirrers on the tractor. When traffic builds up behind, be courteous. Pull over to the side of the road to allow cars and trucks to go by. If it is not possible to drive on theshould- er, stop. Never drive with the tractor half on and half off the road. Motorists are then forced into an approaching lane of traffic to pass. When operating farm equip- ment at night, make sure that -. headlights and taillights are in working order, Replace burned - out bulbs and broken lenses, Wagons and other hitched veh- icles should carry reflectors as well as the SMV sign to give adequate warning to oncoming traffic. When making turns across a lane of traffic, check behind to make sure that no vehicle is overtaking or pulling out to pass. Rules of the road applying to motor vehicles, also apply to farm vehicles when they are on the road. Find a shady place for tuberous begonias Although it's too late to start your own tuberous begonias this year, shoppers will have a variety of colors and shapes to choose from at their local garden centre Qa greenhouse, - - One of the most attractive flow- ering plants that grows well in shade, tuberous begonias like a rich, well -drained soil, says R, W. Crawford, horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. They can take sun part of the day, but indirect light suits them best. When they are brought home from the greenhouse, plant them soil and all, at the same depth they were in the pot, Don't plant them too deep be- cause the stem may rot if they should get too wet. Make sure the leaves always point to the front of the bed. This way you will be sure to have the blooms facing the front, Tuberous begonias like the soil moist but not soggy. They also benefit from a monthly feeding of fertilizer, ATTENTION CORN GROWERS ORDER YOUR CORN OIL NOW!

PG, 13, Some helpful h ints, on planting roses frosliepisop: Ibe oul3idB O1YOUPflOUSS Book that outside Job with LAWRIE DECO IITING Roses can be grown almost anywhere in Ontario. If they are planted in spring, they have a good chance to estab- lish and flower the same season, says Russ Gomme, horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Roses prefer a rich, well -drain- ed soil in a sunny location pro- tected from wind, The addition of leaf mold or well -rotted man- ure to the soil should reward the garden enthusiast with an abund- ance of flowers, As an alternat- ive, peat -moss mixed with a balanced fertilizer at the rate of 2 pounds per 100 square feet may be used. When planting roses, dig a hole large enough to allow the roots to spread out naturally. The soil should then be firmed around the roots and watered. It's a good idea to mound extra soil around each plant, says Mr. Gomme. This allows for settling and also prevents dry- ing out of the main stem while For free estimates call 523-4525 Complete line 'of C -I -L and B-H outside paints in stock the plant establishes itself. Roses are usually pruned before you purchase them, However, if they are not, prune back Hr brid Teas and Floribundas to about 6 inches from the crown and Grandifloras to about 10 inches, As well as being easy to grow, roses are capable of producing a lot of growth in a short time. The extra care requited is well worth the time and effort, Mr. Gomme commented, Don't sidetrack your profits... SIDEERESS YOUR • A horse that breaks fast from the starting gate but fades fast in the stretch is not a good bet. Neither is a corn crop that isn't sidedressed. If you put down preplant or starter fertilizer, your crop got off to a fast start. But without a sidedressing of nitrogen, it's liable to fade out fast in the pollination and grain -forming weeks which makes the big difference in yields and profits. Don't let your corn run out of grow -power this season. Order your sidedress nitrogen now. We'll also be glad to apply it for you. Call us today for full particulars.

The team has played two exhibition games so far, and cane up - with two wins over the Nile. Track and field program underway by SHIRLEY J. KELLER During the summer of 1971, the Youth and Recreation Branch of the Department of Education, in co-operation with the Ontario Command of the Royal Canadian Legion, began a track and field program aimed athletes aged 10 to 15. With some revisions, this pro- gram is now going into operation in the counties of Huron and Perth under the direction of c0 -ordinator Bob Knuckey, a physical education graduate from Toronto. The province has been divided into sight areas and two regional co-ordinators have been station- ed in each area, Mr. Knuckey, who has competed in track fer nine years, will be organizing events in the Huron -Perth region. His job will be to organize track and field clubs where none have existed before. Mr. Knuckey is prepared to stay the complete summer in one community if this is deemed necessary. A program of inter -community meets will be conducted, so that newly formed clubs and existing clubs will not have to travel great distances for competition, A team of athletic testing per- sonnel will visit both the estab- lished and newly -formed clubs to test athletes so that potent- ial athletic talent may be brought to the attention of the local coaches. As in 1971, a track and field camp cot promising Bantam ant Midget athletes will be conduct- ed med-August. The program also has three 16 mm training films that can be obtained through the Regional Co-ordin- ator, two of the 1968 Olympics and the other of the 1971 Europ- ean Championships. "There is a great need far int- erested and dedicated people and organizations to take an active part as sponsors, executives, bus- iness managers, publicity people, officials for track meets and many other of the important jobs in- volved in the formation of a track ands field club," Mr. • Knuckey stressed. "No matter what your occupation or exper- ienceall that is necessary is an interest in youth and their fitness and track and field in general. The area co-ordinator also pointed out that assistance was needed in the executive or gov- erning body. That consists of five adults elected or appointed. annually by me mb ers and/or sponsors. - OfficWis of this body are chair- man,' Dice -chairman, secretary - treasurer, lady member or past chairman. A sub -committee, he said, will be established to cover finances, training, coach- ing, transportation, publicity and public relations. "The area of the new program," Mr. Knuckey said, "will have Goderich as the central point bordered by the towns of Kin- cardine in the north, Listowel and Mitchell in,the east and Exeter in the south." For those interested, the organ- ization will be holding its second meeting on Wednesday, June 7 at the .Goderich -Legion Hall, Branch 109, beginning at 7:30 p. m. Everyone is welcome to attend, Athletes who are interested in the formation of a track club are also invited to attend. There will be a movie showing high- lights of the 1968 Olympics. Anyone seeking further -inform- ation may contact Bob Knuckey at the Bedford Hotel in Goderich, Monday through Friday at 524-7337. Stewart' Red U W hite Foo d Mkt Blyth. Ont .

This urge, which is _be- coming a compulsion, seems to be hitting me more often lately, Perhaps it's the first, faint symptom of senility, Twenty years ago, when our kids were babies and I was leading the hectic, 72 -hour a week life of a weekly editor, I accom- plished a great deal. I still found time to play the odd game of poker (and odd is the, word), catch opening day of the trout season, get in a few rounds of golf a week, see the latest movie, play with the kids and tell them bed -time stories, and fight with my wife, Today, the kids are grownup and gone, and my weekly chores have been 'pared to a reasonable num- ber of hours. Yet I .find myself so be- leaguered that 1 haven't played poker for' five years, haven't wet a line or sliced a drive this spring, haven't seen a movie for a year and a' half, and scarcely have time to fight with my wife. Don't say it. "He's get- ting old." This is pure mal- ice, 1 can still out -dance and out -drink most twenty- year -olds, I was going to add out -fight.' But let's put it this way. 1 can still out -run any coward my age, or up to ten years younger, I can still swim a hun= Bred yards in half an hour; I can walk a block in twenty minutes, with time out for catching my breath, 1 can hit a golf ball 200 yards with a mere 60 -mile tail- wind, Don't say it, "He's caught up in a social whirl." That's pure imagination. The only social whirl around here is trying to de- cide whether we should go over and visit Grandad, or ask him to come and, visit us. - No, it's something else. What, in the world of all that is ridiculous, is happen- ing, in the prime of my life, when I should be coasting a little after years of uphill pedalling? It's the rotten world, that's what it is. The danged thing is flying around faster and faster on its axis, what- ever the scientists may say, The days are _ getting shorter and shorter, the years are flipping by like somebody shuffling cards, and everybody is wishing the weekend would come or saying, "Thank God, it's Friday," And all God's chillun seem to know it.

I play an anemic and safe game of bridge instead of an erratic and brilliant game of poker. The golf courses are so crowded it takes all day to play a round. And even playing around is no fun anymore, Every- body, instead of viewing it 'with the delighted horror' of a generation ago, has an in- stant analysis of the whole affair, in pseudo -psychologi- cal terms.

Everybody is sick to death of taxes, always going up, however cleverly dis- guised; of politicians, who seem more concerned with scoring a point, for or against, than in leading; of the lousy postal service; of the growing army of slobs .who diddle the rest of us and live on unemployment insurance or welfare.

As Jewish writers have it, "I should live so long' " Build a compost pile When you build a compost pile, you're helping to recycle materials that would otherwise go to waste, Practically every- thing that can be grown can be added to the compost pile, says Russ Gomme, horticultural spcialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, This in- cludes peelings from 'vegetables and fruit, coffee grounds'and tea bags, dead plant tops and grass clippings, As well as being a disposal area for unwanted plant mater- ial, a compost pile is a good source of organic matter for your garden. A corner of your backyard might be suitable for this purpose. A convenient sized pile should be about ti feet long, 4 feet wide and about 5 feet high. If the first layer at the bottom contains heavy -textured material, it will help improve drainage for the entire pile. Layers of decaying plant mater- ial about 1 foot deep can be added with 2 -inch layers of loam between them. A light layer of lime, with commerc- ial fertilizer added occasionally will aid in the breakdown of plant materials. The pile will decompose fast- er if it is turned over periodic- ally. It is best to keep the outer edges of the pile higher than the center so that rainwater will collect and aid in the decompos- ition process, which usually takes about 6 months, If the weather is abncrmally dry, add water to the pile, E., 7;47THEE 1316 Speciale Marra's Superior White Bread 100% Whole Wheat Bread 3 loaves for 4 loaves for 63 Swiss Rolls reg. 45¢ for.

Behind the Scenes. by Keith Roulston A pleasant, sunny Saturday afternoon, suddenly turned black in a brief second, A screech of tires, a grinding of metal against , metal and death and pain in a split sec- ond. One glance at the scene of the accident leaves an impression on the mind for days. Suddenly, one realizes what a fragile thing life is, Minutes after the accident, while driving down the high- way towards Goderich it be- came evident just how little margin to safety there is on the highway. That car corn- ing in the other lane at better than 60 miles per hour - all it takes is a. few seconds of carelessness on his part, or yours, and instant death awaits, On the highway, even if you always drive sensibly and carefully, the other fool can kill you with his carelessness and you are helpless to escape. Meanwhile, back at the site of the crash, people are fool- ishly risking their lives by crowding around the accident scene in their curiousity. They interfere with the work of the fire department and. bring danger to themselves, and the men who are trying to attend to the injured by increasing the chances of an explosion of the huge tanker truck. The lives of hundreds are endangered because they cannon curb their curiousity. Do they not realize, even now while people are suffering, that they can die just as ,easily as the man in the car? Why do they think they are exempt from a final calling? Perhaps it is well that people don't realize how close they are to death at all times be- cause it would make life unbearable, but surely with death still in the air, they should have some respect for it and if not for death itself, at least for the men who are trying to prevent death in this emergency. Yet they don't, Who will ever understand people? Two delegates, John Oke, R, R, #3, 'Exeter and Bob Allan, R, R. #1, Brucefield, were appointed at _this meeting.to represent Huron County corn producers at an OFA meeting to be held June the 19, 1972 at Duncan Hall,- 387, Bloor St... Toronto, Ontario, It has been suggested that a commission of seventeen mem- bers be setup to market Ont- ario'corn, The commission would consist of eight comm- ercial representatives and nine corn producers: one mem- ber from Cereal:Manufacturers, one member, from Starch -:Man- ufacturers, one member from Distilling and Brewing Indust- ries, two members -from Feed Manufacturers: one member from Feed Dealers and Elevators_ Association, -one member from Ontario Livestock Feeding Ind- ustries, and also -nine earn pro- - 'ducers, The alternative to this market- ing program would be a produc- er board consisting of corn pro- ' ducers with no commercial representation, Chairman Mas- on Bailey, president of Huron • County Federation of Agricult- ure, asked fora show of hands of which type of corn marketing board would be preferable, It was unanimous that the group present preferred a producers board to market their corn,' The corn producers requested their two delegates to inform the 'Toronto meeting of their preference for a producers board rather than a corn comm - LET US MAKE YOUR OLD: FURNITURE BETrER:' THAN NEWI For a free estimate and a look at our' newest samples of materialti CALL` CLARK UPHOLSTERY Ph, 523.4272; R, Cook, Prop, Blyth, Ont.
