Meeting In Teeswater regarding
the new Hydro -line power

This corridor is to run from
"Douglas Point through Bruce
county and in Huron county
through the townships of Turn -
berry, Morris, Hullet and Mc-
Killop. The speaker was Roger
Schwasz of the consulting firm
of Hedley-Menzies.who are or
were involved in many power line
in North America. Mr. Schwass
used to be with CKNX in Wingham,
The speaker claimed that

to the public Mr. Schwass
thought Hydro less than frank.
Some in the audience with exper-
ience of hyro's buying Methods

speaker.stated that power require-
ments will double every ten
years, so -that we will see many
more power lines in the not too
distant future. No notice is taken
up to now what the environmental
and social cost will be, It will
be your task, Mr. Schwass charged,
to make sure this is calculated,
The aesthetic impact can be
softened by more artistic tower
design and suitable planting

growing trees.
In the not too distant future
speaker saw utility corridors in-
cluding power lines, pipelines
far gas, oil, water and sewage
and highways.
In the discussion that followed
it became abundantly clear that
- not one of the farmers present who
were approached by hydro to sell
their propertywas very enamored
by the way they operated or of the
offers made. All in all farmers
are angry and it appeared that
hydro is doing one of its poorest
public relations jobs of recent
times.
The meeting resolved that

The branch had been called

so impressed he called in the
experts from Toronto.
The men outlined grants

improvements to the building
and discussed fire regulations.
They urged the Little Theatre
group to continue to fight for
renovation of the building
because it would be a terrible
waste if such a fine community
resource were not used, They'
said the theatre would be the
envy of many towns much larger

QFY program kicks
off for 1.973
The federal government's
Opportunities for. Youth program
will have a budget of $39,970,000
in 1973, Secretary of State Hugh
Faulkner said today.
This year particular emphasis
will be placed on projects that
provide community service and
social benefits, Youth and others
who have professional expertise
and interests will be invited to
sit on local committees which
will serve as one more source of
advice in the review and eventual
selection of projects.
OFY 1973 will provide job
opportunities for 33,8 34 young
people. Maximum earnings will
be about $90 a.week for post-
secondary students and about
$70 for secondary students. As in
previous years, participants will
be considered self-employed;
hence, they will not be eligible
for unemployment insurance
benefits.
Last summer, the program
created activities for 29, 954
students at a cost of ,$33, 978, 000.
The students themselves
planned and carried out 3,200
projects that covered environmen-
tal, cultural, recreational, social
service, information and research
activities.
Similar kinds of projects will
be considered for funding in
1973 with the emphasis being
on benefit to the community and
practical experience for the
youth participants.
It is expected that the Opport-
unities for Youth projects will
give participants a direct experi-
ence with community groups
and governmental organizations.
One aim of the program is to
help students support themselves
and finance their education.
Special efforts will be made to
involve young people from
low income groups.
Program activity is being
increased throughout northern.
Canada in order to continue to
involve native youth who return
home each summer to small
settlements that offer few em-
ployment opportunities.
Decentralization of the Opport-
unities for Youth staff, begun in
1972, will be continued so that
more staff will be located in
various regions of the
country, rather than at Ottawa
headquarters.
Increased liaison and co-oper-
ation with provincial authorities
and federal members of Parliament
is being developed. During the
past year, provincial departments
have participated in program
planning and developement.
When proposing a project, young
people are asked to submita
detailed plan, indicating they
have community support and
interest, and outlining what they
hope to achieve, how they
expect to reach their objective
and the amount of money needed
to cover salaries and administrative
expenses.

Memorial Hall too valuable to go unused
With the amount of time and effect put'into building and
maintaining Memorial Hall theatre over.the years, .
it would beinexcusable U action was not taken to make sure
the theatre_ could continue to be used.
Action by the Recreation Committee and the Board of
Trade and a large number of volunteers and donars last
summer put the theatre back in shape,for use; Since then, .
however,, problems with fire escapes and lighting have halted
all use of the theatre. And there have been rumours, at least,
'that it will stay unused because there has been no action
taken by council since problems with the wiring were).
revealed. _
The article on the opening of the Memorial Hall in the 1920'0
which was reprinted in`The Standard last.week,. arrows that
the people of Blyth and area felt strongly about the theatre at
that time. They chose the theatre as a memorial to their
fallen young men in the first World War rather than a statue
as many towns did. They chose wisely and they sacrificed to
build their memariaL It cost $25,000, a huge sum in those
days, and a lot of volunteer labor to build the theatre. The
writer of the article leaves little doubt that it was the
theatre which was the pride and joy of the people, not the
lower hall. Would it be fairto those who built the hall cc
those whose memory it celebrates to have it unused.?
A note for the future
Although it has little direct effect on the rest of Huron
County, the decision of Charles MacNaughton to fight for
retention of the Atmospheric Environmental Service station
at Goderich rather than its move to Clinton seems to set a
disturbing precident.
There has been considerable discussion about moving the
weather station to Clinton to the old air base because of
uncertain future of Sky Harbour airport in Goderich. But the
real point of interest for the rest of the county comes in the
part where Mr. MacNaughton's'letter says the designation of
Goderich as a growth centre "suggests the importance of
retaining governmental facilities in this community, and
particularly one associated with air and water transportation
services".
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time the
government has ever admitted that Goderich had been.
designated a growth centre. Under the government's plans
for regional government, a few towns will be growth centres
where growth will be promoted and the rest will not and de-
velopment will, apparently, be discouraged,
It appears that the government also can change the rules of
the game whenever it wants. In the past when smaller towns
like Clinton and Blyth lost an industry the government said
sorry fellow it just wasn't economical . Here however, we
have a case where it would be much more economical for
the weather station to move to buildings already constructed
than to have to build one, and the government is trying its
darndest to halt the move. •
Clinton area municpal officials might also be a little, put out_
ori the subject. When they were trying to get the provincial
government to take over the air base a year or so ago, Mr.
MacNaughton made lots of promises but came up with no action.
Now, he is personally stepping in to help keep a facility out
of the base.
It also brings up the question of why Goderich has been chosen
as a growth centre. The thinking behind the growth' centre
concept is that one town would grow to provide jobs and ser-
• vices to the surrounding towns. Under such reasoning,• Goder-
ich would seem a.poor: choice., because bounded by the lake ,
on one side, it has a limfted area to serve. Clinton, Seaforth
cc Wingham would all seem to make more sense from the point
of serving a surrounding area..
Not that it matters much to us in Blyth. We are close enough
to both Clinton and Goderich"th'at we will be served by growth
at either place. Yet it is.also bothersome to think if our
industrial committee got a line on some new business or
industry to move to Blyth, the member of parliament and
the government might step in and say it should go to Goderich.
And if we can be hurt, think how much more hurt towns like•
Seafarth and Wingham can be, who think of themselves as
major centres and are far enough away from Goderich to have
limited benefit from any growth there.
-_All these are the consequences and possible consequences of
this decision which in itself if not for the reasons given by
Mr. MacNaughton'would make sense. We would agree that,"
the weather station would seem to be of more we in Goderich
where there are boats and aircraft that need it.. We're just
worried about the effects of Mr. MacNaughton's reasoning on
the rest of us. 1

So far the renovation of the theatre has not cost the tax-
payer of Blyth a red cent,' The labour was donated and all
'the materials were paid for through kind donations of people
of Blyth and district and fcrmer residents, Some of
themoney donated to provide "a new curtain for the stage,
has still not been used. Wouldn't it be fair to these people
who have given so much if the theatre was left to go unused?
The money should not be a problem. Firstly, council had
a surplus of $30,000, last year, enough to pay for such ren-
ovations many times oyer, t There are many
other government grants available on such projects too.
The big argument against spending money on the hallhas
been "will it be used"? If the theatre is not used it will be
because proper steps have not been made to make sure it will
be used. Unlike other government services like the •
arena and the library, the hall can more a than pay for itself if
proper planning is used.
Upkeep is relatively low and with the large seating capacity
income can be high if the building is kept fairly busy. The
theatre can be not only a way to draw the community closer
together, but to bring more moneyinto the community.
The theatre is one of this community's greatest
assets. We cannot allow it.to be wasted.

From my Winflow
Do you know anyone with a
completely practical nature?-
Someone who is unable to
throw 'caution to the winds and
do something out of the ordinary
Simply for the pure hell of it?
I do. I know several people
like that and I envy them -
though envy is a sin'- for
their ability to.live while they .
are still able to enjoy life.
I've tried to be flighty
and frivolous. it is always.

And what's sure, I make others
uncomforable too. •
Unfortunately - or fortunately,'
I haven't decided which -
I'm wed to a fellow who is
every bit as practical by nature
as I am. While we rarely do
anything exciting, we seldom
have a difference of opinion
and I guess that's something
for which to be happy these
days.
Early in February, my husband
and I have a three week holiday
coming up. We've known about
since last September and that's
when I made a trip to the local
trayel office to pick up a few
books on holidays south - you
know, sun and relaxation beneath
tropical skies. I had made up
my mind not to be practical all
my life but to get away from it
all on a wingding vacation to
end all vacations. I'd earned ,
it, I thought.
• By November, though, my
enthusiasm was beginning to
wane. After all, I was talking
about a great deal of money
and what if the,furnace blew a
gasket and required a full

full 21 days and what if
'one of.them needed me while
I was 2,000 miles away.
;By'December, my husband and
I' had talked ourselves into a
"domestic" holiday .., that is,
a`three-week jaunt within a
radius of about 500 - 600 miles
from home with no reservations -
toInbroken just in case we had
to get home in a hurry. We
planned to call on some relatives
and friends, - to ." liver it. up" for
a couple of days here and there
in some posh hotel, to just -let
the spirit move us for a full three
weeks. Heavenly, we agreed.
But alas, we made the fatal
mistake of thinking about it and
so now, at mid-January just
two weeks away from -
vacation time, we've succumbed tc
our. practical natures and will not
be straying too far from our own -
four walls for much of the time.
You guessed it. - We took a lock
through the house. and decided
that if we spent some of our
vacation money and time
papering and painting, renovating
and repairing, we'd be making
the smartest move.
We. thought about the kids
and decided that while they were
at home our first duty was to them
If God lets us live until thechildrer
are raised, then we'll have time
for ourselves.
What is a vacation anyway, we
asked ourselves? And the answer
came back the same this year
as it has for all the years we've
been married - a vacation is a
change of pace, not necessarily
a change of scenery or a change
Of bank balance.
So, you guessed it, Our glorious
winter vacation in the southlands -
has been put off once -more.
We've exchanged the white sands
for a paint brush and the mod-
erate climate for a sweat shirt;
We've turned 'in a hotel suite

.bed basementand a newly
decorated bedroom, We've
swapped exotic gourmet meals
fcv macaroni and cheese and
instant coffee. . -
And believe it or not; we've
not the least bit upset about it.
In fact, we're looking forward
to this three=week vacation with
as much excitement as some
folks would anticipate a trip
abroad. It has been a long,

some friends, or simply did
nothing at all but get
reacquainted after a year or
more of steady on -the -go -

You bet. For us practical

up is going to be just great.
I'll tell you about it sometime.

What is termed "too rigid"
terms governing mobile
homes in Huron County proposed
Official Plan was part of the
reason that the matter was
referred to the planning board
fa. morestudy,
As well, members of county
council did not approve of the
terms in the plan concerning
• land division policies.
As far as mobile homes are
concerned, it was pointed out '
by members of council that
according to the plan mobile
homes located in urban areas
in the county (there are about
52 of these including some in
rural municipalities) must be
located in mobile home parks.
In a strictly agricultural area,
of course, mobile homes are
permitted providing the occupants
of the mobile home are in
agriculturally related fields.
County Planning Director Gary
Davidson said that in his view,
it would be possible to dispense
with the section which demands
that mobile homes be on "mun-
icipal water and sewerage" but
that until more detailed secondary
plans are prepared reflecting
local situation, the mobile home
park provision is required for
general guidance.
Problems arise from servicing,
assessment provisiow and vis-
ual appearance said Davidson.
"Only two municipalities in
Huron County, Seafccth and
Exeter, have sufficient guide- •
lines regarding the location and
servicing of mobile homes."
- "Trailers are a big industry
in Huron County and don't forget
it," Reeve Jack McCutcheon of
Brussels told council.
"If it is legal to build these
OUR
things then it must be legal to
put them someplace," Stated
Reeve Ev. McIlwaln, Goderich
Township.
Reeve Anson McKinley was
the staunchest opposition to the
strict land use policies which
make it difficult to sever a build- •
ing lot in a rural area.
"If we're going to have a blanket
"no" on nonIlanneildevelopement
in rural areas," said McKinley,
"We're going to need tax tiolicy
to compensate. The concept
of preserving agricultural land
goes far beyond Huron County.
Perhaps it would be a good
thing if the provincial govern-
ment was asked to use some of
our ideas in this."
McKinley added that in his
opinion, it was "discrimination"
against development the rural
municipalities when it was
legislated that development
could only occur in the urban
areas. He felt the UDIRA study
might have some answers, but
he urged council to "take it to
government'.
Davidson said that since the Land
Division Committee came into
being in August 1971, it has
rendered 330 final decisions on
applications.
110f these 87 percent or 286
were approved, 12 percent or 39
were denied and one percent were
withdrawn in reported Davidson.
"Much of the discussion, therefore
revolves around the denial of 39
applications. Of these about
two-thirds involved site prob-
lems such as pocr soils, access
flooding etc. Only 111 about
three percent, were denied strict-
ly on grounds of location, that is,.
scattered development cc ribbon
development."
"While the severance procedure
tends to be the most visible, the
subdivision process is by far the
most active," continued Dav-
idson. "In approximately the
same period, the Planning Board
recommended approval of sub-
divisions creating some 373 new
lots, two subdivisions comprising
57 lots were recommended for
denial, and subdivisions encomp-
assing 188 lots are under active
consideration."
"The main difficulties in the
Land Division Policy section
would appear to be centered around
the creation of non -farming res-
idents in rural areas," said
Davidson. "The Draft Plan re-
flects provincial policy in this
area and no attempt was under-
taken during the preparation of
the Plan to research this topic
in an extensive manner."

Question: My basement has
a faint musty odour, even
though I have a dehumidifier
in it, Would painting my
basement floor help? If so,
what kind of paint should
I use?
Answer: Yes, painting will
definitely. help, provided you
use a paint that's specially
made for concrete. The paint
is called Colortread, It's a
rubber -base finish that effec-
tively protects and decorates
concrete floors, And' it dries
in about two hours to a tough,
high -gloss, easyto•clean fin-
ish, What's more, should you
decide to tile the floor later
on, you can do so without
having to remove the Color -
tread paint. Meanwhile, your
floor will look great, and
you'll get rid of annoying
"concrete dusting" as well as
musty odours.
EASY TO USE
You don't need any primer
or sealer, butou should
make sure your floor is clean
and dry. The fastest way to
apply the paint is with a mo-
hair roller or brush.
One coat of Colortread will
cover solid in one hour and
,dry in two hours. Apply a
second coat if the concrete is
very porous, That way, you'll
get the longest wear, One Im-
perial gallon of Colortread
will cover approximately 400
sq ft.
Because of its rubber con-
tent, Colortread is not influ-
enced by free moisture or
dampness, And that should
help solve your musty odour
problem, as well as improve
the appearance of the floor.

There is a real lesson for our
• world to learn from the burglar
alarm business,
There are some real geniuses
in the field, one of whom is
• Mr, R, E, Cook, whom I know
and who represents for me the
many other fine citizens who are
dedicated and determined in
their efforts to deter crime.
These men spend long hours in
research as well as in other
• aspects of the business to try to
make sure crime does not pay.
Yet, the sad fact remains that
. we still have burglaries, even
in places which have installed
good syste ms, There are thieves
who are equally dedicated in
learning how to by-pass or
neutralize the systems.
It is of considerable consolation
to me that professional thieves
of the burglary class -- spend
more time in prisons than they
do out of them, But still they try.
The real lesson for us, therefore
is the warning against believing
that there is some gimmick we
can buy which will just sit back •
and function so we can just sit
back and not function. For we
frequently fall victim to the idea
that somewhere is a magic
forumula or machine to do our
"being" fcr us.
How nice it would be to have
some.contractor build a house in
which love could exist without
having to learn the disciplines
of patience, kindness, under-
standing and unselfishness, How
wonderful it would be to have an
educator who would structure the 1
kind of school that we could dump
our kinds in day after day and
not have to teach them by pre-
cept and example, ourselves.
And, you can list a hundred'other
fantasies of a gimmick-lifel
The second lesson we learn
from the burglar alarm business
is the urgent need of a relevant
religion (that is, value -system,
ethical code and symbolic life-
style). There is so tragically
large a number of people who
think that he who creates
things is creating' wealth, while
he who creates free -and -res-
ponsible (that's all one word,
really) souls, is not "creating"
anything. -
The third lesson was spoken
by Him who warned against
storing up treasures where thieves
can break in and steal. Or
Malachi's warning about steal-
ing from God -- which is to
therefore deny our youth a real
belief in what our mouths
profess.

EVIL PREVAILS WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING
by REV, CECIL WITTICH
The Bible is full of the promises of God. From beginning to
end, we find many and various promises. One promise that
keeps recurring is in terms of prayer.
Jesus said, "You ought always to pray and not lase heart".
(Luke 18:1), The implication is that if we do not pray we be-
come discouraged and weak.
The prophet knew the necessity and results of prayer, "They
who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength." (Isaiah 40:31),
The Apostle realized the urgency of prayer in order to life for
Christ. "Pray constantly". (1' Thessalonians 5:17).
The late Dr, Martin Luther King Jr., a couple of days before
his assassination, became very disheartened in what he was try-
ing
to do for the under -privileged. He held a press conference
to clarify some issues but failed to make much of an impress-
ion; The next day he held another conference. This time he
was fired with conviction and enthusiasm. One of the newsmen
asked him, "What's happened to, you since last night? Have you
talked with someone?" King replied, "No, I haven't talked
with anyone. I have only talked with God."
The power of prayer is available and there is no excuse for
being a weak Christian.
Another promise of prayer is again made by Jesus. "Whatever
you ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be
glorified in the Son, " (John 14:13). Does that mean that the
name of Jesus is magical? No. It means to be praying the kind
of prayer that Jesus would pray if he were in your place. This
requires seeking and knowing the mind of Christ.
Jesus lived and prayed according to the w i11 of God fcr his
life. He received amazing and miraculous answers to his prayers.
Prayer that is in accordance with thespirit of Christ receives
whatever is asked,
The promises of God are true. Do we believe them and are
we willing to meet the conditions?

Winter
rhubarb
Winter rhubarb is grown in
"sunless" hothouses under strict -
temperature and humidity
controls to ensure a product
of highest quality, Fresh winter
rhubarb adds sparkle and color
as well as tangy flavor to winter
meals. It is available from the
first of January to the first of
May, say food specialists at the
Ontario Food Council, Ministry
of Agriculture and Food,
When buying or storing
rhubarb, take special care to
prevent wilting and preserve
flavor, If possible, pruchase
cellophane -wrapped, trimmed
rhubarb from cooled produce
counters. Should you
purchase unwrapped and untrim-
med winter rhubarb, cut off leaves,
wash the stalks in cold water, and
store in plastic bags in refriger-
ator crisper.

W.O.'A.A. remembers 30 year's
history
A feature of the 30th ann-
iversary of the formation of
the Western Ontario Athletic
Association which was marked
in Wingham recently rias the
presentation of a history of
the W. 0.A. A, by long time
secretary manager, Alf Lock -
ridge of Wingham,
Officers elected included
President Ivan Gordner, Wing -
ham, vice-president - Jim
Prior, Brussels, second, vice -
Dave Neilson, Gorrie, and
third vice - Ray Morrell,
Walkerton,
On the executive committee
for the ensuing year are Jean
Liesemer, Mildmay; Gordon
Rathburn, Durham; Jim
Green, Wellesley and Ken
Petrie, Port Elgin,
In his report Mr, Loclaidge
said;
"For the benefit of those
who do not understand the
league and how it operates,
I would like to draw your
attention to a few facts, The
league this year has sponsored
412 teams all told, in the diff-
erent spats, baseball, softball
and hockey and a total of 8,045
players, coaches and managers
have registered.
"In addition to your executive
and secretary -manager, a great
many conveners are required,
and I want to thank them for
their co-operation and the part
they play in the league's oper-
ation,
"In baseball and minor hock-
ey the league is forced to oper-
ate in territory allotted to
them by the parent bodies,
"A great many changes have
come about in the league in
the 30 years of its existence.
First canie the AFFL with the
OHA and this was the work of
Tory Gregg, It was through
his efforts and hard work, and
don't you think for one min-
ute that these things come
easy, This has been lost through
Backyard
skating
rinks for
winter fun
With cold weather and snow
on the ground, it's time for
skating and hockey. You can
construct a backyard skating
rink on lawn areas without
damage, if your careful, says
R.F. Gomme, horticultural
specialist, Ontario' Ministry of •
Agriculture and Food.
It is preferable that the ground
be frozen in the location you
choose, Start the rink after the
first heavy snowfall. Select a
level area and outline the rink
by mounding extra snow
around the perimeter. Be sure
to tramp the area around the
rink to prevent water from drain-
ing away. Boards placed on
edge will make idea hockey •
cushions. Level the rink surface
by dragging it with a snow shovel
or a toboggan.
Spray light layers of water to
build a base, letting each layer
freeze before adding the next.
A garden hose or lawn sprinkler
is excellent fcr this. Sometimes
large plastic sheets can be used
to help retain the water, Holes
in the rink or rough areas can
be patched with snow, then
soaked with water,
Once a good base has been
established, each layer of
water will begin to level the
ice surface. When the rink
is in perfect condition, the only
upkeep is to brush off light
snow and apply another fine
spray of water,
a difference of thinking on
policy, and I hope some day
your executive can regain
this. I believe it is necessary,
and should be for the better-
ment of hockey,
"There was no intention o f
operating other sports, only
minor hockey at that time,
but, the pressure from almost
every town and village in the
territory put pressure on the
executive and they started one
sport after another, I feel they
made quite a contribution to
sports over the years,
As there was not artificial
ice except in Owen Sound, we
did the same as they do now,
kept playing, and when we
were ready for playoffs there
was no ice. That was where
Tory Gregg came to the rescue
and through his connections
with the manager of the Owen
Satnd arena, the teams played
off there with no charge for the
ice time, What a relief when
tla t was over.
"The league in the beginn-
ing opened up a place for the
young player to start and the
men of that day realized this
and really backed the league.
That is when rinks started to
go up with ice plants in them,
and today there are not more
than three or four with nat-
ural ice,
"In hockey some of the boys
went on to greatness, such as
Paul Henderson, Gary Doak,
Larry Jeffery, Doug Brindley,
Don Liesemer and out of our
minor system now there is
Bill Brown of Wingham, Andy
Whitby of Lucknow, Gloat
of Mitchell, Gateman of
Southampton, Jack Chipchase
of Hensall and there could
be more.
"In the early years such men
as Frank Slota, Jerry Olinski,
Frank Udvari and Merle Glas-
ford refereed here and later
went on to greatness in their
profession.
'In softball, after a 'few
years of operation, the league
sponsored the fastball league
which formerly was the senior
league at Sunnyside and Toron-
to with such players as Charley
Justice, Shelley Miller, Hugh
Hall, Charlie Cotton, George
Zuk and there were others.'
George Zuk later became a race
horse trainer and driver, and
to my mind a wonderful athlete
in almost all sports and a cred-
it to any association, Maxie
Scheff, a noted umpire in
Toronto, made many visits
here to do games, He was
considered the best, There
are now 49 teams playing
in the territory allotted to
us by the Ontario Baseball
Association.
"I, as secretary -manager
of the association for so many
years, would like at this time
to thank all the managers
and coaches in all the sports
in the league for the co-oper-
ation that they have given me
and all executive members,
and there have been many,
fcr all their help, because
they have a busy time attend-
ing so many meetings in sum-
mer and winter sport,"
your week ahead
BY DR. A.W. DAMIS
Forecast Period: January 28 to February 4,1973
You face a bad case of withdrawal; self pity;
lack of confidence. Why? Because of an imagin-
ary problem concerning the opposite sex.
Boredom might take over, this week. If you are
connected with education, however, a radical
change, in working conditions, is likely.

You are entering a cosmic cycle when problems,
long forgotten, might reappear. Incidentally,
take care not to become thoughtless about a
member of the opposite sex.
A minor reversal, related to your daily routine
is indicated, throughout your chart. The point?
A change of method or ,device is suggested,
immediately,
Increased rivalry in affairs of the heart; growing
competition, related to your job, task or project
will dominate this week's activities, Take noth-
ing for granted!
A surge of ambition, a trait many under your
sign have lacked recently, will hit you as a fist.
So, it's highly probable that you will be making
changes;
Bluntly, there is opposition against any new idea
or plans of expansion you have in mind, Most
restrictions or objections will come from .per•
sons close to you,
This week, an improvement, or a letup of ten-
sion that exists between you and a member of
the opposite sex, should take place,
According to your chart, speaking out of turn or
not getting your facts straight, might be disas-
terous. Also, a "white lie" won't function as well
as the truth,
A "lucky break", in spite of poor judgement on
your part, should trigger a series of favorable
events, Meaning? Good fortune will come in a
strange package.
It seems as though a world event will have a
direct influence on the lives of most Aquarians.
In other words, a law, etc. will affect and im-
prove your future.
PISCES High-keyed and sensitive emotions, that might
Feb, 19 • Mar, 20 over react to the opposite sex, show in your
chart, It's advisable to "cut bait;" avoid flirta•
thous gestures.

In the midst of January, we
often wonder if spring will ever
come, This year, of course,
we've wondered if we already
had spring, Still last week
temperatures were the coldest

And on Tuesday of last week
we know of at least two local

shipment of lawn mowers and
tillers for the, spring.
Hardly a week goes by that
we don't receive a request from
someone wondering why we don't
advertise what is on at the local
theatres. Well your guess is as
good as ours,
Ours is the only newspaper
around that doesn't receive
advertising from the Goderich
theatre and the only neighbouring
town that doesn't get advertising
from Wingham. We've tried,
Oh, how we've tried but apparent-
ly the theatre management in
both cases doesn't think there is
anyone in Blyth and area
interested in movies, Are you?
Perhaps it's up to you, If a few
people wrote to the theatres or
talked to the managers, perhaps
they would think enough people
were interested to advertise here,

Councils inaugural session'
The 1973 race far Warden showed
plenty of sparkle as.four ballets
were required to select Reeve
Roy Pattison of East Wawanosh
fa. the county's highest office,
Pattison, nominated by Bill
Elston, reeve of Maris, was
shown to the Warden's chair.
by 1972 Warden Elmer Hayter.
In his pre-election speech,
Pattison promised to listen to
the suggestions cd the county
council and to endeavor to
enact those policies approved
by county council members.
Runner-up Hugh Flynn who
with Pattison was a second -time
contender for the post, urged
camty councillors to be county -
minded, He said official
planning and zoning was of utmost
importance and stressed the need
fa Huron to plan its own
future.
Reeve Everett McIlwain, ousted
on the third ballot, said that in
his opinion" public office is

said when any one municipality
benefits, all municipalities in'
Huron benefit.
Reeve Ed. Oddleifson, Bayfield,
a retired gentleman who hadhoped
his past experience coupled with
the availability of time would
take him to the wardens chair,
was defeated on the second
ballot. He told council that
because Huron isyrimarily a
rural area, he hoped it would
be treated slightly differently
by the provincial government
when and if the time came fa
regional government. He said
his concern was that the county
did not become "swallowed up
into a large area of regional
`government!.
Reeve Harold Lobb, Clinton,
who went on the first ballot said
that in his opinion, Huron county'
could stand to double its pop-
ulation. He also noted that
he hoped the county plan would
be passed during the year of
1973 and that the addition would
Canadian farmers spent $131 mil-
lion on commercial fertilizer for
their land in 1970, Statistics
Canada today in its latest Census
of Agriculture publication.
Measurement of fertilizer use
was collected for the first time
in th 1971 Census. The figures
indicated that fertilizer is one
of the important cash inputs
into Canadian farms. Of the $131
million total, 41 per cent was
spent in Ontario, 18 per cent,in
Alberta, 17 per cent in Quebec,
8 per cent in Manitoba, 5 per
cent in Saskatchewan and 4 per
cent in British Columbia,
Of the 366,128 Canadian farms
reporting, only 39 per cent in-
dicated the use of fertilizer in
1971, The proportion of farms
with fertilizer applied was gen-
erally larger in the regions of
more intensively farmed land,
Prince Edward Island had the
largest proportion of farms using
fertilizer (60 per cent), followed
by Ontario (51 per cent) and
Quebec (41 per cent).
In all, some 17 million acres
were fertilized, representing
22 per cent of the total area
devoted to crops and improved
pasture. Alberta had the highest
fertilized acreage (5.6 million
acres), followed by Saskatchewan
(3.7 million), Ontario (3.1
million), Manitoba (2.9 million)
and Quebec (1.2 million).
Although Newfoun'iland had
the lowest fertilized acreage,
it was the highest (34 per cent)
in terms of percentage of total
crop and pasture land under
fertilization.
The highest frequency of fert-
ilizer application in relation to
total acreage seeded (63 per cent)
went to tobacco cultivation, fol-
lowed by corn seeded for grains
(61 per cent) potatoes (59 per
cent) and vegetables (58 per
cent). At the low end of the
scale were wheat (15 per cent)
and improved pasture acreage

The Maitland River
"The Southerner sings of the
broad Mississippi;
The Irish praises the Shannon
and Lee;
The Mersey and Severn are
dear to old England,
Where Kingsley sang sadly the
song of the Dee;
The Scots say that brave are the
,Dale and Avon,
And bonnie the banks of the
beautiful Clyde;
But fairer than all is the
stream called the Maitland;
Ah, happy the days I spent by
its side.
Ontario rivers are brimming
with beauty,
The Don and the Humber, the
Credit and Grand;
The glittering Thames is a rib-
bon of silver;
13ut still I shall dream of the
picturesque land,
Where the Maitland steals out
from the Highlands of Huron,
From Wellington County and
uppermost Perth,
To leisurely wander through
Wingham and Auburn,
Through fields that are fair as
the fairest. on earth..
You may love the St. Lawrence,
the roaring Niagara,
Whose turbulent waters rush
mile after mile;
You may praise the Blue
Danube in poem and music,
The Hudson, the Tiber, the
Rhine and Nile;
There are rivers aplenty,
historic, romantic;
But all of their glories I'd
gladly forsake
To stand once again on the
hilltop at Goderich
And watch the old Maitland
roll into the lake."

WAYNE AND SHUSTER
Laughter is their product, Canadian television watchers are
their customers and both are happy. Johnny Wayne and Frank
Shuster have tickled their audiences into laughing with them
and at them for 30 years, first on CBC Radio and now on CBC
Television. What is the secret to their continued freshness and
popularity? The boys stay in tune with the times through
their children.
At Daytona Beach, a steam
car reached 128 mph . , , in

Eggs good
buy.
Eggs are one of our most
economical sources of protein,
say food specialists at the
Ontario Food Council, Ministry
of Agriculture and Food. One -
dozen large eggs weigh about
12 pounds providing high quality
protein at a relatively low
cost per pound.
Three eggs, or two eggs plus
one ounce of other protein
food, contain as much protein
as an average serving of meat.
Main course omelets and
souffles, combining eggs with
cheese, fish, sausage or leftover
ham are economical substitutes
for meat.
Eggs are a compact source ,
of other nutrients. They contain
all known vitamins, except
vitamin C, and are a good source
of minerals, particularly iron
and phosphorous. Most of the
iron is found in the egg yolk.
One egg white and one yolk
contain approximately equal
amounts of protein.

ALBERT ST.
Is there anything new 'under the
'• sun, despite the old adage? Not
much.
I've just, been reading a 124. -
year old essay by Henry David
Thoreau, and it could have been
- written last week by anybody
who dislikes, nay, despises gov-
ernment and what it -stands for.
The author says that that gov
ernment is best which governs
least, Many Canadians, who are
sick to death of government and
its agents poking their inquisitive
snouts into every aspect of the
individual's lift, would agree
heartily, -
Most businessmen would not
only concur, but would raise- a
cheer, for the sentiments
expressed. Ask any man who
runs a small business, if you
want to get a blistered car, what
he thinks of government.
Thoreau suggests that the
first purpose of any_ government
is not to seek out and -abolish
injustice. but to perpetuate itficlf. -
Ask any realistic politician. r and
he'll agree.
We should not necessarily '
cultivate a respect for the law, -
but for what -is right, says
Thoreau, He uses the illustration
of an undue respect for the law,
of soldiers marching to war
against their commonsense and
consciences. This has been hap-
pening for years in Viet Nam,
There are three types of men.
he says. First are those 'who .
unquestioningly serve the state
with their bodies, such as sol-
diers. Next are those who serve
the state with. their minds —
politicians, lawyers, office•
holder's but not with theircon-

sciences, Finally there are -the
very few -- martyrs, reformers,
patriots in the real sense -- who
serve it with their consciences
also, and are commonly treated
as enemies by it.
-The trigger fur Thoreau:s
essay was his strong disapproval
of -the American government of
his day on two issues, the Mexi-
can War and slavery, The Mexi-
can War was one u1 flagrant ag-
gression in which the Americans
moved in and conquered vast
territories in the southwest.
(It has always been a source
of pleasure to me, when Ameri-
cans decry_ British "co-
lonialism" to remind them of
Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the
Philippines, Panama and Texas,
They have conveniently for-
- gotten. in most cases, that many
of these "acquisitions" were a ,
result of direct and violent con-
quest.)
Thoreau spoke openly of
revolution. "When a sixth of the _
population of a nation which has
undertaken -to be the refuge of -
liberty are slaves, and a whole
country (Texas) is unjustly over-
run and conquered by a foreign
army (U.S.), I think it is not too
soon for honest men to rebel and
revolutionize,"
Isn't the situation almost
exactly the same today? Blacks
are not legal slaves, but they are
economic ones. North Viet Nam
was not exactly overrun, but nut
for want of trying.
And what would happen to
Thoreau if he expressed such
sentiments today? Probably not
much. because there is a
growing, swelling anger against
Too tim
the stupid war among Americans
of all walks of life,
But if he'd said it ten years
ago? Or in the era of Joe
McCarthy? He'd likely have lost
his job, hecn harassed by the
CIA and/or FBI, attacked by
some segments of the press, and
generally driven Iikc a fox before
hounds.
It speaks much for the grow.
ing lark of freedom in the U.S.
(and elsewhere) that nothing
serious happened to Thoreau at
all, when he uttered these inflam-
matory remarks.
He did spend one night in jail,
when he refused to pay his poll
tax, on the basis that his dollar
might buy either a man or a mus-
ket to shoot one with. But some.
body paid. his fine, and he was
released.
Today we have the prospect
of men spending years in jail
because they refuse to go against
their consciences. We have
thousands of U.S. draft.dodgers
in Canada, forsaking their home
and native land for reasons of
common sense (who wants to be
killed?) or conscience.
Joan Baez, the folk -singer
and anti -war individual. tried to
take a similar stand by refusing
to pay her income tax. The gov-
ernment merely deducted it at
source, from the record com-
panies who paid her royalties.
Thoreau advocated that, if
there were an unjust law. we
should break it. What do you
think?
What would happen to an
ordinary Canadian who said, "I
will pay to have my garbage col-
lected and the streets repaired.
THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan, 24, 1973, PG. 18
d? Perhaps we are
But I will not pay one penny for
"national defence". I don't want
welfare, unemployment insur-
ance, medicar so I won't pay a
nickel toward them."?
The answer is obvious, That
bold Canadian would spend the
rest of his life in the law courts,
being punished by "his" govern•
ment, instead of being allowed
the simple, sensible alternative
of opting out.
Life is too short, But are we
being governed to death? Oh, for
a few Thoreaus in these timid
days!

How much
does an
egg weigh
Food specialists at the Ontario
Food Council, Ministry of Agri-
culture are frequently asked what
size egg represents the best buy. The best egg buy depends
upon the season and supplies.
When the new flocks start laying,
small eggs are usually in heavy
supply. There is a period when
medium eggs are plentiful, and
then the large eggs follow.
Since eggs are actually sold
by weight, cost per ounce may
be worked out to help you decide
which size is most economical at
any specific time. The minim-
