Smile... Ours is one of the very few countries in the world where businessmen get together over $10 steaks to discuss hard times, VOLUME 82 No, 33 Wednesday. August 16, 1972, 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. PG, 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, August 16, 1972, Standard/Ed it�rials 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.

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. From dry dock to swimming champion -- to mother's sur- prise, c›. 0 Investigate conditions BEFORE entering the water, and always swim with a buddy. .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 GFT NIP!! READ THE WANTADS 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. 1 Expert Work, Quality Paint, Fair Price Book that outside job with LAWRIE Fcr free estimates {{, ca11523-4525' Complete line of C -I -L and B-H outside paints in stock 113 Off ON ALL ON LOTS OF WALLPAPER IN OUR STOCK A D 1/ MEN SUITS FOR all your 1.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, August 16, 1972, 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. AMSTERDAM BURGERS 2 pounds ground beef 1 egg 1 onion chopped and sauteed 1 tablespoon tomato sauce or ketchup. 110 oz. Imported Holland Baby Gouda. Salt and Pepper, Combine beef, egg, onion and tomato sauce. Form 16 thin patt- ies, Cut the Baby Gouda into slices 2" thick and large enough" to fit on each hamburger patty leaving a in border, Place cheese on each patty and cover with a second patty sealing the edges together well, Sear the burgers over white hot coals. Raise grill away from fire and cook to desired stage, Indoors, broil 2" from heat source o' panfry over a very high heat, Salt and pepper both sides. Serve with corn relish or chutney on hot sesame buns, "PIG In WHISTLE" HOT DOGS 8 strips bacan 8hot dog buns 8 frankfurters 8 strips Imported Holland Gouda Cheese Mustard Saute the bacon until half cooked. Heat buns. Slit the frankfurters in half lengthwise nearly all the way through. (Foot long or Large size frank - furters make a he-man serving, ) Cut strips of Gouda cheese ISI thick, 3/4" wide and long enough to fit the frankfurters, Coat the inside of each slit with a thin lay- er of mustard , Dijon style mus- tard is excellent for this, Stuff frankfurters with cheese strips, Wrap around with the sauteed bacon and fasten with tooth- picks. Grill over a barbecue or Campfire until the hot dogs and bacon are crisp and cheese is melted, Indoors, broil about 3" from heat until bacon is crisp, cheese bubbles and starts to brown, For more recipes, write to: "Summertime with Holland Cheese", P, 0, Box 508, Station F, Toronto, Ontario, 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! SUNDAY, AUGUST 20 HEAR Rev.

' 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.

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.

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 Continued on pg. 16 DANCE to the Five Country Gentlemen, August 18, from 10:00 p, in, to 1:00 a, m, at the Memorial Hall, Blyth, Admission $1, 00 per person.

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 STANDARD WANT THE BLYTH STANDARD, August 16, 1972, PG,13, LOflfleSflOrO HappefllflVS Continued from page 11 Mr, and Mrs. David Fair - service and Maureen of Doll- ard Des Ormeau, Quebec vis- ited last week with his mother Mrs, Myrtle Fairservice, On Tuesday Mrs, Myrtle Fair - service, Mr. and Mrs, David Fairservice and Maureen visited in Detroit with Mr, and Mrs. Dave Mair, Mrs. Durnin is a at - Mervyn P ient in Victoria Hospital, Lond- on. Mr, and Mrs. Bert Shobbrook were dinner guests on Thurs- day evening with the former's sister Mr, and Mrs. Perc Gibb- ings, Clinton. Also present were Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Craw - 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. "DONT ARGUE!

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.

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, _ Puss -In -Boots Cat Food 2-15 oz. tins 350 Premium S�ckeye Salmon 7340z. tin 610 Van Camp Beans with pork 5-14 oz. tins $1.00 Libby's Spag hetti with cheese 2-19 oz. tins 550 Bick's`plain, garlic or Poliski Dill Pickles 32 oz. jar 530 Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter_ Nestle's Chocolate Quick Allen's Orange Crystals F luffo Shortening Cut Rite WaxPaper Refills Scottie's _ Facial Tissue loo's Scott Pa.erTowels 28 oz. jar 790 2 Ib. tin $20 5 in pkg. 85s: 1 Ib. pkg. 390 goo ft. 310s 2 pkgs. 750 pkg. of 2 `J919‘ Wonder Bread Sandwich Loaves Flamingo Tarts Weston's Chelsea Buns Weston's Dessert Fruit Cake W ittich's Round Orange or Lemon Buns Coleman's SP.

The Blyth and Community Band, with their drum -majorette, Olive Wilson made a great hit. Master of Ceremonies was Gill, Augustine, Club president, and he introduced L. E, Cardiff, M. P. of North Huron and A, Y. McLean, M. P. for South Huron, Misses Donna Richmond and 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.

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.
