MaresDon 10 Standard survoy
The response, shown by read-
ers of The Standard to the
readership survey has been
gratifying.
It is obvious, from the numb-
er of replies to the survey that
people' in -the area are vitally
-concerned with improving their
community by improving their:
newspaper and by having better
shopping facilities:
A great deal of information
has been received about how
people of our -area feel about
tl}e community -'and the news-
paper. Happily, most people
seem to feel The Standard is
doing a good job, , but they
are willing'at the same time,
.totell ushow wecan doa
better job. This help is greatly
appreciated. -
Although a full study of all the
returns has not yet been done,
one of the most frequent reco-
mmendations is that there
should be more coverage of
personal items from Blyth -
itself. Unfortunately, the
problem is easily recognized
but hard to solve, What would
help would be if we could find
someone in town who was will-
ing to take on the job of find-
ing personals in the same way
as our correspondents in the
surrounding villages do. Last
week, for instance, we had
a large Personally Speaking
column because a local lady
took the time to collect news
from her part of town and
brought it in to us. What is
needed is for someone to do
it every week, Is anyone
willing to try?
We're also interested in any-
one who has a talent for draw-
ing since we would like to
find someone to supply cart-
oons for the editorial page,
1f there is anyone in the area
interested, they could send
in three sample drawings so
we can judge their work.
These will, of course, be
Intermediates locked
intoughseries
The Blyth Intermediates are
currently involved in a play-
off series with Atwood. Atwood
leads the series two games to
one,
The first game was played
last Wednesday night in Blyth:.,
Although Blyth led throughout
the entire gamethey could
not hold on to win. Atwood
scored four times after two
were out in the last inning to
win thegame8 to7.
Blyth returned to Atwood Thurs-
day night and again Atwood won
by the score of 10 to 4. Atwood
led throughout the game and
Blyth never really threatened.
With the Blyth club facing
elimination on Monday night,
-they defeated Atwood 9 to 7.
Blyth scored six times in the
second inning and never look-
ed back.
On Saturday, August 12, Blyth
played in the Moorefield .
Tournament. Blyth won their
first game against a team from
Kitchener, The score was 8 to
3, Blyth was eliminated in the
semi-finals by Moorefield,
Moorefield won a game domin-
ated by pitching by the sccre
of5to2.
Blyth goes to Atwood Thursday
August 17. If Blyth wins the
fifth and deciding game of
the series will be pla yed in
Blyth Tuesday, August 22
at8:30p.m,
paid for if accepted. ''S-
We might add, that we are
always willing to help out any,
younster (or adult for that matt-
er) who is interested in writing
or photography either as a fut-
ure
uture profession or as a hobby.
We would be glad to hear from
anyone in that matter.
Though the part of the survey
on the newspaper was impert-
ant, possibly the most import-
ant information gained in the .
long run will be that on shopp-
ing habits and what you would
like to see on main street, ..
Much of the time merchants,
town councillors and other off-
icials can only guess at what
people really want, There is
a lack of statistical informat-
ion in nearly all small towns.
Your response to the survey will
help overcome this in Blyth
More help
needed at theatre
About 20 volunteers turned
out Monday night to work on
the theatre in Memorial Hall.
Although a great deal of
work was accomplished, 'much
more could have been done if
more people had taken the time
to help,
The first coat of paint is over
half on, and another work bee
is planned for Thursday August
17, From then on, work will
be going on every Monday and
Thursday evening until the pro-
ject Ls finished.
Your help is needed if the pro-
ject is to be finished. Bring
along a paint brush or roller
and drop in anytime between
7:00 and 10:00 p. m.
The first donations have begun
to trickle in. So far donations
have been received from:
Needlecraft Shop,
Mrs. Winona McDougall and
The Blyth Standard.
There was a lot of activity on the stage of Memorial Hall Theatre on Monday night and
it was an excellent performance as more than 20 volunteers turned out to help spruce up
the theatre, the .best such•facility in Huron County, Although much work was accomplished
more volunteers are needed to help out on Thursday night and again on Monday to help
get the job done.

Too much hatred
The incident at the Derry Day celebration on Saturday in Clin-
ton illustrates why the Orange movement is slowly dying and
why foryounger people today will b'e sad to see it go,
In the Saturday happening, 15 men interrupted the celebrations
of the Royal Black Preceptory, a higher cyder of the Orange
Lodge, because they claimed various parts of the celebration
favoured the Irish Republican Army.
Granted, the small group in no way represented the entire
group of Black Knights or the Orange movement and granted
they were from Toronto and claimed to be from Ireland origin-
ally, but the incident shows once more that the Orange move-
ment is based on hatred and although it has come a long way
from the days of William of Orange and the victory of Protest-
antism over Catholicism, it still leaves the way open for this
hatred to spill over.
The country would be better off if both the Orange movement
and the Knights of Columbus were to quietly disappear. Of
course both organizations have done service work to help their
communities in the past, but stirely other service clubs such as
the Rotary or Lions clubs could do just asmuch good service
without raising spectres of past hatreds,
It is perhaps a healthy sign that this death is now occurring
slowly. Every year, there seems to be fewer people at the ann-
ual Orange walk on July 12. Since there are few Knights of
Columbus lodges in our area, it is hard to comment on the °
strength of that organization. But at a time when the world is
sick of hearing of the stupidity of the Catholic versus Protestant
extremism in Northern Ireland, it seems ridiculous to celebrate
the anniversary of a 300 -year-old battle victory which now
turns out to have been a hollow victory after all.

Sums support
(or the WHA
With the battle now on between the National Hockey League
and the World Hockey Association over the right to have sever-
al star hockey players, the comment one hears most often is
that the hockey fan will be the real loser.
The inference seems to be that the WHA should have kept its
cotton-picken fingers out of the pie and let the NHL have its
own way. But just how can the WHA mess up hockey any wcrse
than the NHL has done in the last seven or eitht years?
Here's one fan that hopes the WHA licks the tar out of the NHL
in the courts. It is certain that the NHL never gave a hoot for
the fans or for the players. If they cared about the fans, they
wouldn't have watered down the league through such premature
expansion as has taken place in the last few years. Ifthey cared
about the players, the players would have been 'content to stay
with the NHL teams rather than take a chance on a fledgling
league,
Nothing has shown the NHL arrogance more than the refusal
to let stars like Bobby Hull and J. C. Tremblay play for the
Team Canada. The fans wanted them on the team, the NHL
said no,
The NHL owners are forever talking about the great expence
they go to in assembling a hockey team and so they cannot
live without total control over where the players play. Thus,
they say, they must be able to keep a player from hockey at
all if he doesn't want to play for the team the NHL says he
should. .
The courts may back up the NHL, but if they do, it will be
an injustice to the players and the Canadian public, the people
who have footed the bill for arenas, artificial ice plants and
coaching to help develop those hockey players, The public
spends millions of dollars to help develop every NHL hockey
player. We then send him off to play in some NHL city, prob-
ably in the United States and make some millionaire even
richer,
The WHL may not be any better than the NHL in the long run,
but at least it would help us keep some of the expensive talent
at home to earn their money. The WHL has teams in Edmonton,
Winnipeg, Ottawa and Quebec City, The NHL is busy, mean-
while setting up teams in Atlanta and Long Island.

Froiii 111! WIflhIOw
by SHIRLEY J. KELLER
As most of my regular read-
ers are aware (let's hope there.
are still some regular readers
left after some of the "social
comment". in this column of
Tate) my husband and I have
three children, two very
average teenagers and one
very average six-year old --
boy,
As most Canadian children
raised in a kind of middle-
class home these days, all
have had the opportunity to
learn to swim, Our eldest
son was offered the chance
to go to swimming classes
when he was a tot -- but
he refused, He still cannot
swim -- and has no comp-
ulsion to learn. He's a land-
lubber, I suppose, like his
father who believes that
"swimming" is little more -
than mass bathing for the
purpose of cooling oneself
on a very hot day in mid-,
summer.
Our middle offspring took
swimming lessons -- but didn't
pass one single examination.
As far as I can discern, she
swims like a fish, - but cannot
and will not conform to any
accepted style -- which, of
course, immediately disqual-
ifies her from citation for a
swimming badge under any
accredited swimming instruct-
or.'
But ow youngest child is anoth-
er matter, He's been enrolled in
swimming lessons for two summ-
ers now and if there's a crest to
be earned you can bet he'll
earn it,
When this child was just five,
he was actually afraid of the
water.- He'd go to the lake with
us but no amount of coaxing
would get him into the water.
He'd sit on the edge of the
beach playing in the sand and
should the water get too close
to him, he'd get all choked up
with tears and high -tail it for
dry ground.
Being a dutiful mother, I
was concerned. This child was
tall for his age. I suppose it
deflated my ego to see much
smaller children happily splash-
ing in the water while my kid
cringed and squirmed if a wave
dashed over his smallest pinky.
So I enrolled him in swimming
classes,
I took my son to the pool
just down the street from us and
explained the situation to the
little girl in charge of tots. She
no 1ded knowingly as I confess-
ed that my son was a real timid
tyke when taking to the water.
I told her we were going to the
lake for the summer and I
wanted him to be at least com-
fortable while near the water
and not screaming with fear
the minute he got a little damp.
She understood, she said, and
enrolled him for swimming
classes at the end of July.
In the meantime, we went to
the lake at the beginning of
summer. I wasn't afraid to let
him go to the beach with his
big sister because I knew he'd 1
do nothing but sit in the sand
and build castles or whatever
it is that kids make in the
sand.
Then one day I walked down
to the beach to check on my
son and to my horror he wasn't
there, I searched everywhere -
except in the water, I was in a
panic by the time I heard his
voice call, "Hey mom, watch
me."
I turned my head just in time
to watch him diving off the
little boat dock into the water
below. I was shocked to silence.
I could only stand there and
gape as he bobbed in and
out of the water like a cork.
Needless to say, the first
day of his swimming class was
a disaster. His teacher looked
.at me as though Pd developed
leprosy right before her eyes.
My shy little baby took to the
pool like a dolphin, leaving
his classmates dripping and
dazzled in his wake,
After two days in class, my
son wouldn't listen to his teach-
er any more. He didn't like
swimming lessons, he told me.
He couldn't have anyfun, he
said. His instructor didn't en-
courage me to leave him so
I gave up in disgust and took
him home,
This summer, though, I enroll-
ed him again, hoping against
hope that my son and the pool
staff had forgotten the first ex-
perience they had,
After the first day of lessons,
my son gleefully announced he
had been promoted. On the sec-
ond day, I was told he'd been
promoted again. On the fourth
day, I went to the pool to see
for myself.
Sure enough, there was my son
lined up with his classmates.
He was the smallest -- but hard-
ly the least attentive, On the
whistle, he was in the water,
Front crawl. Back stroke, Flutter
kick, Float. You name it.

prise,

.Perth council'
warned
to prepare
for regional
govemrnent
Perth County councillors were
warned recently to get busy and
make preparations for regional
government in the area,
Professor John Horton, plann-
ing department, University of
Waterloo, repeated a warning
he handed council May 23, but
had proof with him this time .
that regional government isn't
too far away for Perth,
"The province is stepping in
and taking complete responsib-
ility for reorganizing local
government. They (the prov-
ince) have decided that it is
all taking place too slowly, "
he told Perth's council,
He constantly referred to a
speech delivered by W, Darcy
McKeough, treasurer of Ontar-
io, at the founding convention
of the Association of Municip-
alities of Ontario in Ottawa in
June. The speech covered
three main areas: 1. local gov-
ernment reform (regional gov-
ernment); 2, regional develop-
ment planning; 3. fiscal reform,
By 1975, he said, the province
intends to have proposals ready
for the areas not already under
a regional government scheme,
He said 1974 was set for the
fiscal reforms Mr, McKeough
talked about, '
Asked about the fiscal reforms
by Deputy Reeve Willard Soed-
er of Mitchell, Mr. Horton said
he couldn't speculate on what
the minister had in mind.
Mr, McKeough's speech de-
fined the reasons for wanting
regional government. There
are some 900 municipal gov-
ernments in Ontario now, and
it is expected this number will
be cut in half with regional
government,
"If over 900 municipalities be-
lieve they have the right to ex-
ploit their physical resources
to minimize tax burdens, the
rational use of our resources
will be lost," Mr, McKeough's
speech said, "The province,
by its regional planning policy,
is attempting to guide a very
careful use of the province's
resources, namely its land,
its water and its air, in the
best interests of all of our
people, "
Under regional government
the province intends to elim-
inate most of the special pur-
pose bodies and agencies now
in operation, Mr. Horton said,
All the responsibilities will be
with the elected people, not
appointed committees and
boards, he said.
Mr. Horton said he personally
feels the province Ls moving
too fast, He referred to the prob-
lems faced in the Niagara reg-
ion where rural and urban have
taken opposing sides, and a lot
of time is needed to work out
those problems,
A study is scheduled for Brant
County. Mr, Horton said, and
Perth should pay close attent-
ion to what happens there,
because Brant has a city about
the same size as Perth has -
Stratford.
"You can't evade regional
government. Like it or not,
it is coming -- unless the
province makes a complete
about face," he said.
THE BLYTH STANDARD, August 16, 1972, PG, 3.
You can't' blame Tom Rice (left) and Paul Koegler for taking a little rest from riding their
bicycles, The two students biked all the way from Chatham to Blyth last week to visit with
Dr, and Mrs, Richard Street and family for a week,
Vacationtrip brings tired muscles
You may not think travelling
from Chatham to Blyth is much
of a challenge but for Tom
Rice and Paul Koegler, the trip
last week was quite an experie-
nce.
Tom and Paul, you see
weren't ordinary travellers who
go by car, they went by bicycle.
And to make it harder, they
made the trip in some of the
coldest, wettest weather of the
year, on Monday and Tuesday
of last week.
Paul, the son of a well known
I doctor from Chatham and his
friend Tom decided to take the
trip to Blyth to visit Dr. and
Mrs. Richard Street, long-time
friends of the Koeglers. The
boys each had a 10 -speed bike
but still the trip proved so ard-
uous that for the first day and
a half after they arrived in
Blyth they seldom ventured out
of the house.
Tom especially found the .trip
hard because he had only pur-
chased his bike recently and
had done little riding since
last year when he had sold his
old bicycle. They were only
a few minutes out of Chatham
when the rain hit, and from
there until they reached Blyth,
they were seldom dry, One of
the toughest places they found
on the whole trip was the hill
Just south of Blyth with its
long, gradual slope, But with
the end so near, the boys man-
aged to make it up the hill,
then coasted to town,
They had planned to make
Blyth a base of operation while
they visited Goderich and other
area towns, but once they arriv-
ed here, they found enough
going on that there was no need
to travel outside the village.
They went roller skating and
watched ball games and rested
up for the long trip home.
The boys, both of whom will
enter college this fall, found

people very friendly on their
trip and once they arrived in
Blyth. They say bicycling is
a wonderful way to travel, even
in the rain, because it gives a
person a better chance to see
the country than from a car,
yet gives more freedom than
hitch hiking.
But after a while, they, admit,
it can get tough on the legs and
derriere.

Try cheese for barbeque treats
The smell of grilling hot dogs
and hamburgers b a national
Canadian aroma around cottages,
campsites and backyard patios
during the summer. Barbecued
hot dogs and hamburgers dressed
up with imported Holland Cheese
make an interesting variation on
an old theme,
The barbecue is the one North
American meal pioneered by
men but on a much grander scale
than today's backyard barbecue.
Barbecuing dates back to the
Indians who roasted a side of beef,
a whole lamb or goat over an
open pit. This is one of the earlie-
st ways of roasting meat known to
man. From Indians on the Pampas
of Argentina to cowboys out on
the Western Prairies the method
was essentially the same. And
today it is still a male preserve.
Barbecue methods and equip-
ment have been perfected over
the years, Today all shapes and
sizes, with completely automat-
ic controls, are available. These
can be heated to white hot in 10
minutes. No matter what the
equipment, the man in the house
is still the Master Chef with his
own secrets - even for hot dogs
and hamburgers.
To keep the burgers moist and
juicy inside, sear them quickly
on both sides close to a very hot
fire. Then, raise the grill away
from the hot coals to cook the
inside to the desired stage of
doneness, Well-done hamburgers
should be turned frequently. If
the grill is not adjustable, spread
the coals out to reduce the heat
or sprinkle them with a little
water, Salt and pepper may be
added only after the meat has
been seared.since the salt draws
out the juices.
For cheeseburger fans, try
sandwiching a slice of Gouda
cheese between two thin meat
patties. This melts down to a
smooth and savoury cheese fill-
ing inside the hamburger while
it is grilling. No cheese is wasted
and the burgers do not stick to
the grill. Grated cheese, added
to the meat mixture is another
interes ting variation.
The distinctive red Holland
Edam ball and wheel -shaped
Gouda cheeses travel extrem-
ely well, They are complet-
ely sealed by a protective coat-
ing of wax. Even without re-
frigeration, this added protect-
ion makes them excellent for
camping trips and picnics.

From the Minister's Study
•
by REV. D. DOCKEN,
Duff's Church, Walton,
Two weeks ago I introduced you to the statement of a wise
physician who said, "There is no such thing as a BAD child.
There is no such thing as a GOOD child either. There are only
happy children and unhappy children, healthy children and un-
healthy children, "
This seems like a simple enough statement, but some may
not agree with it, Yet all down through history there have been
parents who have raised families using this philosophy and there-
by created relaxed happy homes, It would seem then, thatthe.
main problem to face in child raising, is how to help children
to be happy and healthy. How can we do it?
The Christian faith has an answer to that question, It says that
we should fully and properly love them. We can go back over
2000 years and find some very good advise on family life, St.
Paul told some parents at the church at Ephesus, "Fathers, you
must not goad your children to resentment, but give them the
instruction and the correction which belong to a Christian up-
bringing. " He also told some Church members at Colossius,
"Fathers do not exasperate your children, for fear they grow up
discouraged, " Such advice is still relevant today, even though
we have new problems to face in our modern world, But one
basic need we all still have -- its been there since man was
made -- we are born into this world craving love.
In this booklet published by the CMHA, "Do You Know Your
Child?", it says, "That the mother and father who enjoy the
relationship of parent and child, who love their child, who
respect the child, need never read a book on child psychology."
Although I believe the good parent will want to do some read-
ing on child care, so that they can learn as much as possible
about how to be a good parent, successful child rearing is not
so much a matter of rules and psychology, even though they
sometimes have their place, as it is a matter of love, under-
standing and acceptance in the home situation.
For example, the wisdom of St. Paul's advise has recently
been proved by a study of three types of home environments
that was conducted by the University of'California at Berkeley.
They found that in the first type of home, which they called
permissive, there were few demands made upon the children
and little responsibility expected. In these homes the children
were rebellious and delinquent.
The second type of homes were called authoritian. Here the
children were ordered about like soldiers, They had to keep
their mouth shut, not question anything and do as they were
told, These children were also rebellious, They hated their
parents and often society in general.
The third type were called authoritative, Here, the parents
recognized the children as human beings, but also realized that,
as children, they needed direction and correction. Each mem-
ber of the family had equal rights but also equal responsibility.
The children of these homes were not rebellious or delinquent,
but seemed to be happy.
They were happy because they knew they were loved as human
beings. Even in the happy home there are going to be problems
and difficulties to be met. Where love and understanding exist
however, there will be that added ingredient that will help to
find a happy and right solution.
Parents, love your children!

Victims of Vaporizers
Some "cold steam" vaporizers
may trigger asthma attacks.
' Designed to increase the hum-
idity in rooms, the vaporizers
are often Used fcr patients who
have influenza, bronchitis,
and other respiratory ailments,
The moisture can help unclog
congestion and make it easier
to breathe. But fungi can flour-
ish in,the misty paradise if the
devices are not cleaned often
and cared for properly,
Tests by Dr. William R.
Solomon at the University of
Michigan -- which were re-
ported in a recent issue of
Medical Tribune -- showed
that vaporizers can spew out
the fungi into the air in the
room, When some vaporizers
are turned on, the airborne
particles can increase by as
much as 470 times!
Some of the millions of part-
icles are one -celled fungi
that multiply by dividing like
crazy. When the fungi are
beathed in, they can cause in-,
fection as well as aggravate
asthmatic symptoms and even
trigger attacks.
Dr, Solomon tested different
vaporizers on volunteer asthma
patients and patients with re-
current allergic summer symp-
toms and found that unclean de-
vices caused, a worsening of -
symptoms within a half hour.
To avoid this problem -- which
can also occur in humidifiers in
general as well as some air
conditioners -- people should
be extremely careful to clean
the devices thoroughly and fre-
quently, says Dr, Solomon.
Every two or three weeks.
Breathing can be a hazardous
business in these days of air
pollution and cigarette smoke.
Even supposed aids to breath-
ing -- like vaporizers.-- can
cause trouble. Find out more
about the hazards to breathing
from your local tuberculosis
and respiratory disease associa-
tion. They have the facts.

Smoking
action
Cigarette smoking is a major
public health problem in this
country, A cause of chronic
bronchitis, emphysema, lung
cancer, heart disease, and
other serious illnesses. More
than 300, 000 people die pre-
maturely each year from
smoking-related diseases. How
can we combat this enormous
proble m?
Our society -- says Surgeon
General Jesse Steinfeld -- has
been tremendously successful
in solving some public health
problems. When no responsible
action was demanded of citiz-
ens. For example, we have
purified our water supplies,
banned cyclamates, prevented
sewage from entering our drink-
ing water, pasteurized our milk,
made certain that meat products
did not transmit trichinosis or
tuberculosis. We immunized our
citizens against smallpox, polio,
and measles.
But how about when the res-
ponsible action has to come
from people themselves? When •
people must exercise and choose
proper diets to avoid obesity and
arteriosclerosis? When they must
restrict alcohol intake? When
they should quit smoking?
Speaking specifically about
smoking, the Surgeon General
asks, "What is the role of gov-
ernment beyond education,
when education doesn't do the
job?" There are almost 45
million Americans still smoking.
The Surgeon General consider-
ed two possibilities: limiting the
amount of tars and nicotine in
cigarettes; and raising the cig-
arette tax. Although the Surg-
eon General has not suggested
banning the manufacture and
sale of cigarettes, some prom-
inent health experts have. But
the spectre of prohibition casts
a dismal shadow over this pro-
spect,
ro-
spect,
Action has already been taken
by 29 million ex-smokers. To
find out how to join this group,
contact your local tuberculosis
and respiratory disease associa-
tion. It's a matter of life and
breath.

Alan Jones, one of the three male actors in Theatre Passe Murallle's cast, appears to have two
sets of arms (top left) as he gets help from another actor in The Saga of John Deere, one of the
songs in the play about farming staged in a dimly lit barn near Holmesville on Sunday, Below

New play deals with farm life
Many Clinton -area residents
and a few. persons from the
Blyth and Auburn areas spent
an unusual Sunday afternoon
this week.
These people accepted an
invitation to watch a new play
about farming life which took
place, appropriately enough, in
an old barn.
The play was the creation of
Theatre Passe Muraille, a Toro-
nto-based group of professional
actors. For the last several
weeks, the actors have lived on
an old farm on the Maitland
Concession of Goderich town-
ship north of Holmesville while
they tried to learn about life on
the farm. Although the group
had built a reputation for top
notch performances in Toronto,
they thought a play on rural
life was a good project. Direct-
or Paul Thompson explained:
"For a long time now, Canada
has looked elsewhere for drama-
tic material. Our training was •
toward and international out-
look. We studied other countr-
ies' material -- England, the
United States. But it can be
exciting and as much fun to
deal with what's around us as
with what's foreign."
Not knowing much about the
country, the actors decided to
move to a farm for the summer
to soak up the atmosphere.
They heardaboutthe farm in
Goderich township and moved
in, the director, three actecs
and three actresses along with -
three children.
The play they presented in
the hay mow of the barn on
Sunday was the culmination of
a lot of work on the part of the
actors, They visited township
council, a household auction
in Blyth, a cattle auction and
visited area farms where they •
talked to farmers, their wives
and children and learned about
the pleasures and'problems of
family life. They went to wank
helping farmers so they could
get to know just what farm
work was, They asked questions
- they watched, they recorded
and then went back to the farm
to act out what they had seen
and find ways to adapt it into
their over all play or perhaps
write a song.
The group does not use a
Fcript, because they feel the
play may become too static
if they do. Instead, they work
around general ideas which
they have experienced and re-
hearsed many times.
One might think this avant
garde type of theatre would not
go down well with the conserv-
ative farming community of
Huron County, but on the contr-
ary, the audience Sunday was
delighted, Their response dur-
ing the two-hour performance
showed the actors had done
their homework well in earning
about the community.
The play was a patchwork of
scenes and songs about rural
life, a mixture of side-splitting
commedy and bitter-sweet sad-
ness. The actors managed to
entertain, and at the same time
have a message in their work,
unlike many acting companies
today who concentrate so much
on message that they don't ent-
ertain the audience.
But the audience, 150 or more
people sitting on blan kets over
bales of hay in the barn was
obviously entertained. They re-
acted much as one does when
they see a political cartoon in
the newspaper and suddenly rec-
ognize the familiarity of the
characters to politicians they
know. Such reaction was part-
icularly obvious in scenes of
local politics such as a re-enact-
ment of the local township coun-
cil meeting and of the July 12
celebration at Goderich complete
with Robert McKinley giving
his speech to the Orangemen.
Audience reactions were not
so obvious, but still positive
to the actors, when the comp-
any dealt with sadness of rural
life such as death and injury in
farm accidents and the problem
of children leaving the farms
in droves,
Paul Thompson said at inter-
mission that it was a great aud-
ience, He spoke with delight
of the openness of the reactions

Watering
lawns
Most laWns are in good condit-
ion right now because of abund-
ant rainfall. But that doesn't
mean you should put the garden
hose away, says John Hughes,
horticultural specialist, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food,
Most homeowners tend to
water their lawns too often and
too lightly. This method of
watering encourages shallow
root growth and increases the
possibility of damage during
the hot summer months. Gen-
erally it is better to water a
lawn heavily and less frequently.
The amount of water needed
varies, depending on the soil,
the weath er and the grass var-
iety. At the first sign of wilt
hook up the sprinkler, for the
top inch dries rapidly. To
gauge the amount of water
applied, place a pan in the
area covered by the sprinkler,
For most soils, an accumulat-
ion of one to one and one-half
inches of water in the pan is
adequate. It may be necess-
ary to move the sprinkler sev-
eral times to prevent puddling.
The best time to irrigate is
in the early morning so the
water can move down into the
soil. When a lawn is watered
later in the day, much of the
water evaporates, Care
should be taken when water-
ing in the early evening. On
warm nights water remains on
the leaves and may lead to

Dream of resident riding school
coming true for Carlow couple
by RON SHAW of the
GODERICH SIGNAL STAR.
Arnold and Ronnie Zonneveld
have a dream and vision of the
future that, step by step, thr-
ough hard work and careful
planning, is becoming a real-
ity. Its a dream based on a love
for horses and a desire to share
the pleasure of skilled horse-
back riding with anyone who is
really interested in learning the
sport, in terms of the art it act-
ually is.
The dream has a name now,
"Sunfield Acres". Sunfield is
actually an Entlish translation
of the dutch name Zonneveld,
but on a pleasant summer after-
noon most would agree the
name is an excellent descript-
ion of the location.
Farmland slopes away from
the buildings (located on the
road linking Carlow with Ben;
miller), providing a peaceful
view of the Huron County
rural landscape, The barn is
a frame structure, like many
others in the area but its ad-
joining paddock indicates
only one thing, horses, The
house is however unusual, Un-
obtrusive it sits in the tees
never betraying its unusual
European stylings which feat-
ure no less than six bedrooms.
"Someday we hope this will
be a resident riding school on
a year round basis," Mrs, Zon-
neveld explains, "This is only
our second year of operation
and the number of students
who live in has been few.
Last year two American fam-
ilies stayed here fora time
and this year two students
are staying with us, but in
years to come we hope to
have many more,"
At Sunfield Acres life is
more than that of a resident
riding school however. Every-
one becomes part of the fam-
ily, as they participate in
all family activities. The
whole group take their meals
together around the big dining
room table and the feature of
every day is fine home cook-
ing. Mrs, Zonneveld loves to
cook and her husband was a
former baker.
As of this,summer 20 students
ar e involved in riding instruct-
ion at Sunfield. English riding
is the style and the American
Saddlebred the ultimate in
horses, "To learn the skill of
riding well enough to mount
the American Saddlebred is
the prize all our students aim
for. Its a real motivation,"
the Zonnevelds explain.
There are four American
Saddlebred horses at the stable
as well as an Arabian, two
Hunters, one Thoroughbred,
and a Welsh Hackney Pony.
Many of the horses trace
their ancestry to some of
the finest stock ever bred
and one is the half sister of
a two-time world champion.
If anything comes before
learning the rights and wrongs
of proper riding at Sunfield
Acres it would have to be
safety. All students must wear
helmets during their classes
and each and every one receiv-
es individual attention, instruc-
tion and guidance when they
are mounted.
Everyone, regardless of how
well they might claim to ride,
begins on the end of a "Lunge
Line" until the Zonnevelds

decide their competence per-
sonally,
"Many people think they are
capable riders because they
managed to stay in a western
saddle as an old plug walked
around a trail ride. To ride
the English saddle on these
spirited animals is entirely
another story," Mrs. Zonne-
veld explains.
The Lunge Line, a 30 foot
tether fastened to the halter
of the horse (over which a
bridle is placed) is held by
the instructor during these
first classes, "This gives the
rider more opportunity to con-
centrate on proper form since
he need not worry so much
about controlling the horse,
the Zonnevelds point out.
From the Lunge Line onward
the students progress and learn
through many steps. Each class
is one hour long and some stud-
ents attend twice weekly while
others only once. Many of the
students come from cottages in
the area, where they are holiday-
ing with their parents, while
others live in the local area.
Mrs, Zonneveld also explained
that the school has a number of
older students enrolled, including
a fair representation of married
women.
Although much has been accom-
plished, much more still lies in
the future for the Zonnevelds at
Sunfield Acres, The plans are
drawn for an indoor arena where
classes can be carried out regard-
less of weather conditions. It is
also hoped that through further
promotion the name Sunfield
Acres will become better known
and more resident students en-
roll.

OAF PRO/rRo veroR,,yf !
le your week ahead
BY DR. A.W. DAMIS
Forecast Period: August 20 • August 27, 1972
News from an associate or relative should have
a sobering effect on you. Nostalgia and a
mature outlook on life should prevail for most
persons under the sign of Aries, especially
concerning the opposite sex.
Follow through on a major decision that you
are going to make, during the present cosmic
cycle. "Lady luck" has touched your chart,
Seemingly you can do little wrong.
Hold fast! Don't permit yourself to be pressured
into making a snap decision, Also, guard your
words, especially, when making a long distance
phone call, or, when writing a letter.
For those under your sign unattached, there's
a probability of romance in your job, task or
project. Other Moonchildren must guard against
over indulgence.
Someone nearby has been nourishing your ego,
In other words, you are being groomed for a
manipulation. Don't pull someone else's chest-
nuts from the fire.
It seems as though you will do well with per-
sons in authority, Incidentally, your advice
might he sought by a member of the opposite
sex.

Over indulgence seems to he in the general
scheme of things for many persons under your
sign, It's advisable for you to concentrate on
changes taking place in your immediate en-
vironment,
Don't spend this week harping about how
you've become a victim of yesterday's mis-
fortunes; It seems as though you've been re-
hashing the past. Incidentally, favorable news
from afar is on its way.
Again, hang-ups about right and wrong could
cause your task, mission or project to lag. Also,
the health problems of someone nearby might
become an additional responsibility for many
under your sign,
Many under your sign might become involved
in an argument over finances. Incidentally, you
are entering a phase when your spirit begins to
soar • so will your urge to spend.
Stellar patterns reveal that; Your associates
and routine acquaintances regard you as being
rather bold or pushy. It seems as though you
will be stepping out of character, this week,
Being a good judge of character is not one of
your strong traits, So, don't rely on an associate
for help. During this cycle, there's only your
shadow to back you up,

Random notes this "week.
Could there be anything
more silly ,:than writing a
column about your silly old
wife breaking her silly old
ankle, and four days later
going out for a swim and
breaking your own.silly old
big toe? Well, I did both,
And boy, it hurts, boy.
Trouble is, there's not much
the doctor' can do about it.
Had it X-rayed, He took a
look at the plate, didn't
even look at the toe,and
cheerfully informed, . "Yes,
Bill, you've broken a chip of
bone off it, but you can't
put a cast on one, toe, so
just wear * a comfortable
shoe, wiggle the toe so it
won't get stiff, and sweat it
out." I'm sweating. with
every step, I didn't realize
how many things you could
bump your toe against. It
hurts even when 1 kick the
cat, which I don't do, but
will, if she comes near my
toe.
Enough about toes.
Watch out for those bees.
While waiting for the docto
talk about (guess what) my
toe, two large and husky
men came into emergency
ward swelling like balloons
from bee stings. One was
the local veterinarian, six
feet six and about 280. Flis
right hand and arm were
almost completely numb
and it was spreading into his
chest. He was disgusted,
How could a silly little thing
half an inch long do this to
him?
And speaking of bees,
how about those two head-
liners, Bobby Hull and
Bobby Fischer, hockey
player and chess master, in
that order? Has ever so much
media space been devoted
to a couple of guys who are
doing well what they enjoy,
and getting rich at it?
And speaking of Bobby
Hull, what do you think of
the World Hockey Associa-
tion? It has stolen H. .; and
another half-dozen . top
hockey players from that
far -from -benevolent mono-
. poly, the N.H.L. Good luck
to the W.H.A. I love to see a
big organization kicked in
the groin, or the pocket-
book, in this case, Partic-
ularly by,its own slaves,
Why shouldn't a hockey
player, a good one, make
more money than a movie
star? He's often a better
actor,
And speaking about
hockey, which is rather silly
in this weather, have you
ever read or heard anything
more silly than the bleating
of sports -writers, and even
editorial writers, about the
series with Russia?
The whole thing is get-
ting rather sickening. It's
just another symptom of
our inferiority hang-up. We
can't beat the U,S. at
money. We can't beat the
Chinese at ping-pong. We
can't beat anybody at the
Olympics, except maybe
THE BLYTH STANDARD, August 16, 1972. PC .15.
My big toe
and world hockey
North Wales or West
Tanzania, (With the notable
exception of those horse -
jumpers, who are pretty
• good.)
Why, don't we just relax
and enjoy it, as Confuscius
did not say? Why don't we
forget the years when other
countries were wobbly-
ankled on skates and every
red-blooded Canadian boy
had a Simpsons catalogue
on one leg and an Eaton's
catalogue on the other and
could shoot a frozen horse -
ball through a hairnet, and
we won the world cham-
pionship twenty-eight to
one every year?
Except. Remember that
dreadful year (about 1936)
when the British, of all
people, beat our team in the
Olympics? Their team, of
course, was made up of
Canadians living in England,
Or Englishmen who had
grown up in Canada. One of
them was an English kid I
went to school with,
Another, so he claimed, was
an old friend of mine,
Squire Tanner, attending
Cambridge. Another was
George Hees, doing much
the same, before he got into
politics. But, oh, the shame
of it!
All this, of course, is
prelude and masquerade to
a secret hunch of mine that
the Russians are going to
lick us in the forthcoming
series, if it ever forthcomes.
My hunch is based on the
fact that the games will be
played under international
rules, Take away the body -
checking, high -sticking,
elbowing, slashing, boarding
and gouging from the game,
and your average Canadian
player is lost. 1 can visualize
clearly five Russians des-
cending on some hapless
Canadian goalie, with all the
other Canadians in the
penalty box.
Enough. This column is
about summer silliness.
How's this? An aunt of my
wife, who was born and
reared near Belfast, but has
lived for a number of years
in Canada, went back to
Northern Ireland for a visit
this summer, We're watch-
ing the obituary columns.
My_ kid brother, who is a
colonel in the air force, is
being posted to Germany in
a few weeks, What, in the
name of all that is silly, are
Canadians doing in
Germany? Who are they
guarding? Against what?
And with what?
I know I've come a long
way from my broken toe,
but somewhere, in some
secret little niche in my
mind, there is a connection
linking all these summer
sillinesses. Or maybe I just
got too much sun when 1
went to the beach the other
ddy with Kim and her hus-
band, And broke my toe.
Off icers
named
Track and field enthusiasts
held a meeting Wednesday,
July 26 at the Legion Hall in
Goderich to form a club and
to elect an n executive for it.
Summer co-ordinator, Bob
Knuckey, opened the meet-
ing with a request for help in
the administration of a club,
"At present administration
is non -,existent," he said, "As
you ca'n see we have a lot of
kids here, and we fear for the
future unless we can get some
club administration, and that's
in the form of an executive."
He went on to explain the
duties of an executive. One is
to register a club annually with
the Central Ontario Track and
Field Association. The Associa-
tion pays $35 to a registered
club and the club pays $15 for
its operation, Members pay
a $2 membership fee,
Beryl Harper, a former physic-
al education teacher, raised a
point on the health of children
joining the club. It was decid-
ed to look into the possibility
of requiring children to undergo
a physical examination before
being allowed to enter the club.
The new name decided on for
the 1972-73 club is Huron Harr-
iers Track and Field Club. The
Club executive will be Robert
Gibb, president, Clinton; Mike
Conaboy, vice-president,
Brussels; Mrs. K. Keller, secret-
ary, Goderich; and Mrs. D.
Flowers, treasurer, Clinton.
The region will be divided in-
to three towns; Goderich, Clin-
ton and Brussels, with a comm-
ittee from each. This way
towns joining later on can do so
with no problem. The president
and secretary of the executive
will act as the co-opdinators,
informing the different comm-
ittees of changes and new happ-
enings, _

Into the past through theold files
5 years ago
August 16, 1967,
The artificial ice plant has
been installed at the Blyth
arena and the old arena is
ship shape and eagerly await-
ing the coming of the winter
time activities, We haven't
as yet been able to corner
anyone from their week long
enough to find out the exact
cost of the complete job,
but a safe assumption would
be somewhere over the 30,000
mark with the floor and all,
The Blyth Intermediates
overwhelmed a visiting Nile
team by the score of 25 to 9
last Monday night. Doug Scrim-
geour and Ed Daer blasted two
home runs each and Lorne Mc-
Donald added one to lead the
way to the Blyth victory. The
Intermediates finish the regu-
lar schedule Wednesday night
when they play Auburn a fair
game, They are now in third
place in the standings with
play-off action seated to start

The Blyth Lions Club Frolic
was a great success, Cool weath-
er caused the carnival part of
the Frolic to be moved into the '
arena and the crowd patronized
the various booths well. The

with their drum -majorette,

New play
Continued from Pg. 8,
of the people to the actors.
The actors brought realism to
the play by using real names of
people they had come in cont-
act with and patterned scenes
after, and although there was
some embarrassed laughter when
members of the audience recog-
nized themselves, on the whole
there seemed to be a very fav-
ourable reception for the idea.
Laughter shook apart the beams
of the old barn at times when
the company dealt with scenes
familiar to anyone who had
lived on a farm, such as a
scene when one of the city -
born actors pitched in to help
a farmer with his haying and
found out that it was much more
than he'd bargained for, Men in
the audience were especially
appreciative as the actor stumb-
led from job to job thinking
each had to be easier than the
last but finding out that every-
one was harder instead and fin-
ally throwing up his hands and
wondering why any human in
his right mind would subject
himself twice a year for his
whole life to the hell of haying.
The play was followed by a
picnic for the audience to allow
the actors to mingle with the
audience and gain their impress-
ions as to whether the actors
were succeeding in their attempt
to portray rural life truthfully.
The actors will be heading
back to the city now, but direct-
or Paul Thompson will stay .
behind for a while longer to re-
cord some more sounds of the
farm to help the actors polish
their sound effects before they
produce their show in the city
this fall.
Some of the material used in
the play Sunday may be on view
for Toronto audiences this year
but much of it was prepared
specifically far the rural audie-
nce and would not find such
success with city audiences.
The experiences behind the
scenes of the play Sunday will
however, provide the back-
ground for the final work, And
Huron County will be on the
theatrical map.

The community will learn
with regret of the decision
of Mr, W. J. Sims, who this
week announces his retirement
from the grocery business', Mr.
Sims has operated a grocery
business here since 1917 and
is the oldest continuous
resident of the Village, having
come here with his parents
in 1874 when only a year old.
His father operated a blacksmith
shop where Doherty Bros. garage
now stands and when he was
old enough Mr, Sims learned
the trade. When his father be-
came postmaster in 1910, Mr.
Sims took over the shop and
ran it until 1916.
A Harvard Training plane from
the Aylmer Airport made a
forced landing in Mr, John
Sanderson's pasture field on
the 13th concession of Hullett
about 6:00 p. m, on Tuesday.
The pilot, an Australian flyer,
had lost his way and was runn-
ing low in gasoline, He brought
the plane down for a perfect
landing. Later gasoline was
brought from the Sky Harbour
Airport and the next morning
the plane took off and was
flown to Aylmer Airport.
Behind the Scenes
I god ah coad dis week,
A lot of other people in the
area are under the weather
these days too,- and who.
wouldn't be with the rotten
weather we've been stuck
with of late. We decided that •
.
we seren't going to fake any
holidays this summer and by •
the looks of things we aren't
missing much. •
If you have to put up with
cold, ---rainy weather, you might
as well be at home,• not stuck
in some cottage you're paying
a hundreda week for, or a
leaky -tent somewhere where"- .
everything comes in out of the
rain including skunks and garter
snakes, to take refuge in your
sleeping bag; -
Still, -it's kind of , a dirty rott-.
en trick to get stuck with a
cold in the middle•of August..•
But 1 guess I shouldn't complain,
it would be an even dirtier
trick to get your cucumbers .
frozen in the middle of. August
as we heard one person did
last week.'
Just what have we done to de-
serve this?
The last two or three years
have given us some of the
wierdest weather in history
and it has started a lot of
people wondering just what
is causing it all, Some of
course, .claim it is the men
going to the moon who messed
the whole thing up. I laughed
when I first heard that one,
but with the weather the way
it's been lately, I'm not laugh-
ing so hard any more.
Wouldn't it be something if it
was caused by something like
•
BACK TO SCHOOL
by Keith Roulston
that? What a.shock it wild be
to our know-it-all scientists if
that were the case..
-The scientists today are,.,of
course; the hetes of society.,
For the' last ddcade xi' so it
was more to be: pro-
fesscc of physics working on
some space program, than ,
it was to be a preacher or.
doctor, although both of
these professions are.mcre
important to the. future of
mankind. -The scientists are
the darlings of the world.
The"thing I hate is the way
they figure, they have the
whole universe. figured out in
black.. and white., They_ can
predict when there will be
an eclipse of the sun years in
advance. They.can tell us fcr-
sure thatthere is no life on
this or that planet.
Of course, 'all this could be'
jealousy on mypart. Writers ,
are traditionally romantics
while scientists are realists,
the ."facts • and nuthin' but the '
facts,- mal mn types.
The thing I hate about these
scientists and their smugness
• aboutbeing able to put every.
thing -down like a mathematie-
ar equation is that it take s all -
the fun out of life. Isn't, it
more fun to look -up -at a star
and wonder if there -is another
human looking back at your
planet than it is to be told ab-
solutely and without the slight-
est
lightest shred of doubt,- that the
planet is uninhabitable. .
The one hope we a romantics
have, however, is that scient
fists are proved wrong, from time
to time --•not often to be sure,
but just enough to keep us ..
hoping. I liketo imagine when-
ever 1 hear some scientist state
with certainty that there is no
life on Venus, that some scient-
ist up on Venus is saying just as
vehementlythat there can be
no life on arth.
That's why I don't mind in one
• way, rotten weatherat times,
because'. it proves that the scien-
tists still do not have complete
control of nature, But I wish.;
they could at least find the cure
to the common cold.
