Already the Progressive Con-
servatives, Liberals and New

could be a wide open battle fcr.

The possible closeness of the
election is indicated by the
number of persons interested in
contesting the seat for the diff-
erent parties. By Tuesday three
men had indicated they would
seek. the Conservative nomina-
tion, They are Bill Dale of
Clinton, pre'sident of ` the rid-

reeve, member of the town's
planning board and a six-year
member of the advisory board
of Conestoga College.

the other two parties. Paul
Carrol who contested the seat
for the NDP in the 1971 elect-
ion has said he will go after
the NDP candidacy. The
former reeve of the to% and
school teacher will go before

AgricuIiuraI Socielyflireclors vote
to 1111 Blyli fall fair
By a vote of more than 2-1, the
directors of the Blyth Agricultural
Society decided last week not to
continue the Blyth Fall Fair,
The vote came during the
directors' meeting which followed
the annual meeting of the Society
held at Snellts Banquet Hall,
Westfield last Wednesday night.
A good turn out of 65 persons sat
down to the dinner.
Several reasons were _given for
the decision to discontinue the
fair. One was the difficulty in
getting people,to helpsat fair
time to organize activities.
Another was the decline in recent
years of attendance at the event.
But the greatest problem seemed
to be difficulty in finding a presi-
dent to take over and run the
fair. After three years in the
position, Murray Scott had made
it known that he could not remain
president of the Society if another
fair was planned. No one else
was anxious to take the position.
Mr. Scott said he would continue
- Mark Battye,-:.grade 8 student at Blyth Public ,School _was presented with cheques on Thursday by
Tom -Thompson of the Blyth branch of the.Royal CanadianLegion-after his poem "Remembrance
Day Thoughts" won top honours -at both -the Zone and District levels-of.the Legion's'poetry contest.
Tile poem now goes on to the provincial finals and if it wins there will go on to the national finals.
The poem is printed on page4 of The Standard.
as president of the Society if no
fair was held.
The election of officers at the
directors meeting saw Mr. Scott
re-elected president with Ken
Scott of Auburn as first vice-
president and Hugh Flynn of Londes
boro as second vice-president.
After the dinner which started
the evening. Mr. Scott in his
remarks as president said there
had been some disappointments
in the last years fair especially
with the lack of entries, in the
horse show and the poor atten-
dance. "It makes you wonder
why we put on a show", he said.
He said fairs were much thesame
as they were 100 years ago.
- He noted that the load was too
: great on those involved in putting
on the show and said "perhaps"
it's time to think about killing
the fair. I don't think it would
be missed."
He asked each of the depart-
ment heads at the fair to report
on their division and tell whether
or not it would be missed.
Mrs, Ray Hanna reported on the
women's division and said it was
a big success last year and that
"it would be missed if dropped
from the fair, especially the
junior section which was attract-
ing new attention.
Mrs. Lorne flunking reported
on fruits and vegetables and
said they were of good quality
last year with a large exhibit.
The report on the flower show
was that the show was good except
for the judge's report of spots on •
the underside of the leaves. It
was felt, however, that the show
would be missed if not part of
the fair.
The needlecraft show was down
in entries this year but quality was
good,
Mrs. Bill Howson reported on
the school exhibits saying that
without the school exhibits the

George Sloan who served as
clerk -treasurer of the village
of Blyth until 1962, died Saturday
Dec, 27 in South Waterloo
Hospital in Cambridge.
He was born in Hullett township
on October 20, 1895 the son of
the late Thomas Sloan and
Johanna Kraehling. He resided
in Blyth all his life until May 1972:
when he moved to the city of
his death.
-He served as clerk -treasurer
from 1949 until 1962.
Funeral service took place on
Jan. 30, 1973 from the Tasker
Memorial Chapel, Blyth. The
Rev. C. L. Wittich officiated
with burial in Union Cemetery,

Wilson and Clarence Johnston.
fair would not be a success because
children make a fair. She noted
exhibits were up this year although
there were problems with con-
fusion over the rules on entry.
Bill Fidom reported on the horse
show which had a poor year.
Heavy horse classes were really
down, he said. Part of the prob-
lem may have beenwith the
Stratford horse show on the night
before. He said the light horse
division suffers if a show is held
in the middle of the week. At-
tendance was down he said, due
partly to the cold weather ark,
partly to the fact the show theyear
before had gone on so late into
the night that people had been
discouraged from coming back.
Hugh Flynn reported that the
feeder calf club had had a suc-
cessful year but had been unable
to get enough children interested
to have another club this year.
Adrian Vos, a new director
who had come in this year to
attempt to make the barrow
show a success reported the show
a complete failure and recom-
mended it be discontinued.
Mr. Vos worked many long hours
and contacted most of the hog
producers in the county person-
ally, wrote letters to all county
newspapers to publicize the show
and only had five entries, despite
good prize money.
Ray Hanna reported on the
rabbit club saying he was not sure
it would be missed as a part of
the fair but that the boys and
girls who took part would certain-
ly miss it. "I feel it would be
a calamity to the community if
the fair was dropped," he
said, "but at the same time
I feel like Murray that the old
fairs are dying".
Murray Scott reported that the
4-H beef and dairy clubs were
successful and would be bigger
than ever this year. He noted
the wide area the clubs drew
from with the winners coming
from Ethel, Varna and Clinton
as well as locally.
A lenghty discussion took place
as to whether the fair should be
continued. Charles Coultes of
Belgrave felt the fair should go
on and that a committee should
be set up to go to the Blyth
Board of Trade to seek aid from
the Blyth business community.
The committee will meet
the Board of Trade next month
even though a decision to
discontinue the fair had been
made.
The meeting will take place
at the next meeting of the
Board of Trade Feb. 19,
Lorne Flunking, a long-time
director seemed to sum up the
feeling of many of the directors
when he declared, "the fair has
outlived its usefulness."
C,2.• TI -IE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan. 31, 1973.
E�it�riaIS
Some questions...
Last week in their wisdom the directors of the Blyth
Agricultural Society decided to discontinue to Blyth Fall
Fair. There were many reasons given for the decision.
and many more will likely come into the minds of the
directors as timeoes by.
We will not argue with the decision of the directors
since they should know best, We would however ask
some questions which the directors might ask themselves,
If`they can fairly answer yes to all the questions they can
be confident they made the right decision.
1. One of the reasons given for the failure of the fair was
lack of interest among the community. If there was such
a lack of interest why did 65 people pay $2.50 each and
travel to Westfield for the annual meeting when the
executive of the Society expected 30 to 50 at best? Do
the directors think these people went to Westfield because
they thought the fair had outlived itself and its usefullness?
2. The reason given among the directors was that no
president could be found to run the fair. But was a real
attempt made? Even if a real attempt was made was
there absolutely no possibility t at some other way could be
found to run the fair ( by committee perhaps)?
3. Lack of help was sighted as a problem which helped
kill the fab but was an honest attempt made by the directors
in the past to go out and ask for help?
4. Should a director, in all honesty let his name stand
as a director of a group then minutes later vote against
what appears to be the wishes of the majority of the
membership? Should a director accept responsibility for
running a fair and minutes later vote to kill the fair?
Would it not be better to refuse to accept a directorship
when one had only negative feelings about the fair?
5, If people were not coming to the fair any more can
the directors really blame anyone but themselves? Do
they feel they did everything possible to make the fair
change with the times and serve the community?
6. Do they think it was fair to give the impression that if
the community showed more interest there would continue
to be a fair, then kill the fair when the community has
indeed shown more interest?
We hope for the sake of the consciences of the directors
that they can answer yes.
Time to get going.
Every day it seems some area in Western Ontario is getting
a new grant from the government for one of its employment
stimulating projects.
There is the New Horizons program fcr the elderly, the
Opportunities for Youth program fcr the teenagers and the
Local Initiatives Program for everybody.
Last year a group of young people in the Lucknow area
took advantage of the OFY program to start an excellent
recreation program which looked after everyone from
children to the elderly. Another group from Goderich also
got one. Last week it was announced that a group in
Brussels got an LIP grant.
Have we not got some projects here that could improve
the community that could be accomplished under these grants?
Have we not got anyone with imagination and drive
enough to go after one of'these grants?
(P.S. Any group of young people interested can get an
application form for OFY at the Standard office. )

In the county where I reside
there's a jail. Not too unusual,
you say, Well wait until you
hear the full story.
The jail in our county is over
130 years old. It is a unique
building, the only oneln North
America so we're told. In fact,
the provincial government through
its historical department has
expressed a great interest in our .
jail calling it of tremendous
value.
In may work as a news reporter,
I've had occasion to visit the jail
since it was closed last year. I
must say it wasn't to me the most
pleasant spot to visit. It is dark,
musty, drafty and bare. It is
depressing, upsetting and totally
unhomelike, But what else would
one expect from a jail, I ask?
Have you ever been inside a
jail - on business or not? How
many have ever toured around
contemplating the cells, the
bars, the cots, the little
windows, the exercise yards? How
many, I wonder?
Not many, Pd wager though
not many folks can deny they've
often wondered what it is like
behind the high, stone walls of
a jailhouse, I doubt that any-
body has viewed any jail any-
where from the outside and not
been curious about the inner
place and its occupants perhaps.
Well, in our county we have a
jail. A unique stone building, •
the only one of its kind in North
America. It no longer houses
prisoners. It's usefulness has
ended say the penal people.
The jail has been turned back
to the residents of the county...
and the people of the county now
have a voice in the fate of the
jail.
What are the people saying?
Well, a few of them are ignoring
the whole affair. They say they
could hardly care less about what
happens to the jail which is
located in the county town. They
may be packing their bags for
a holiday trip to Rome to look
at ancient ruins or for the eastern
part of Ontario to visit Old Fort -
Henry.., but they don't give
two hoots about the part of their
own history just a few miles up
the road. Typical, I guess, be-
cause, they foot the bill for its
maintenance, -
A •group of citizens in our
county - elected officials all of
them called county council
want to re move a portion of the
jail walls. They feel they are
being extremely. soft-hearted,
After all, a goodly number of
them would have little concern
if the entire building was torn
down and the land used to build
modern up -to -the minute adifaces,
Are people disturbed? Some "
of them are. In fact, a few
citizens are circulating petitions
right now to save the jail walls.
The response, they say, is over-
whelmingly in favor of letting
by SHIRLEY J.
KELLER,
the jail walls stand . , , but the
members of the county council
only smile from their plush
seats in the county chambers as
if to say, "Let thein petition. It
makes them feel wanted and need.
ed. But we know that some of
the jail walls will come down,
poor slobs."
But for the most part, the people
in the county where I live aren't
trying to find out. They are
probably the best examples of
today's apathetic populace which
is content to let someone else
make the decisions - right or
wrong- and to complain later
if necessary, or to rebuild at
even greater expense in another
decade or so. Anything's better
than stirring out of one's
comfortable rut now.
That's what county council
is depending ons too. They are
trusting people will not rise up
against them - on this issue or
any other. They are hoping
that the ratepayers of the county
where I reside will remain mute
and silent and let them get on
with the job of making the
mistakes which every council
is entitled to make.
And so far, the people of the
county where I reside are giving
county council just that right.
They are so busy earning the
money to pay the taxes and keep
the wanton wolf from the door
that they're not getting involved
and no inclination to stand up
and be counted.
Where do I stand on,the issue?
I hate like hell to be a partner
to destroying something as hist-
orically valuable for generations
to come, Not one stone should
be touched. I believe, no matter
what the cost, Let's have some-
thing left to show of our past in
the future.

Goderich writers upset over plans to tear jail walls down
Dear Editor:
. This letter is a forerunner to
a sample -type petition which
will be seen in your, community
regarding our County's proposal
to tear down the jail wall ad-
jacent to the assessment build-
ing in Goderich to make way
for an addition and parking
facilities,
The fort -like structure, which
is situated on valuable land '
has been . considered "unproduct=
in the eyes of our reeves
since it lost its last inmate a
couple of years ago. Therefore
it is now considered "feasible"
to eat- away •at the property far
other County purposes.' Should
the County go agead with its
plans it will quite effectively
deface the building which,
while over 130 years old, is
also architecturally unique, •
structurally sound, and impos-
ing in nature. The Minister of
Colleges and Universities, Hist-
orical 'and Museums Branch,
Archives of Ontario is' interested
in seeing it kept as a museum
and feels it could become
nationally and internationally
noteworthy, Of course, as such,
it would divert, tourist interest.
to the entire area,
There are three alternatives
open. to Council which will
leave the jail intact,
1. The_ acquisition of property
to the west which has not
been investigated as of
Jan. 26,
2. An addition to the north
with parking option on
Gloucester Terrace,
3. Huron County owns the
existing building, There
has been considerable
comment regarding over-
crowded County depart-
ments and Court facilities
unrelated to the Assessment
function. The County should
consider a new site for a
larger assessment building
and use the existing site to
alleviate crowding in other
departments.
The proposed solution not
only destroys the very nature
of a historic landmark, but
also creates additional problems.
No allowance would be made
for additional parking and the
existing "cramped and crammed'
appearance would become even
more so,
The jail, as it now stands,
is unique to North America
and has been publicized in both
Weekend Magazine and the
British Press, Furthermore, the
oldest Architects' Magazine in
Britain has established a fund
to preserve this structure.
Interested persons in the area
are asked to contact anyone of

Dear Editor,
After reading the Jan. 18th issue
of the Goderich Singal-Star, I' m
sure the people of Huron County
and our American visitors are
asking the same question which
is now going through my mind.
What is wrong with the thinking
and planning qualities of the
persons voted in and paid to .
handle our interests?
We apparently have members on
the Huron County Council which
I beleive are taking a very
dicatorial view of the situation
by saying that the structure holds
no memories worth hanging onto.
Our neighbours to the south of
us have numerous tourist attractions
namely (forts and Indian villages)
which if you read your history
books represents a great deal of
blood shed and sorrow. But do
they tear then down? No, they
have enough forsight to restore
them for the coming generations.
No wonder we're still in the back
woods and until we have solid
councils to protect our heritage
and not be carried away
by prestige builders, you can
expect more of this. We seem
to be living in a time when it's
not safe to turn our backs.
You know really, I don't think
our teenagers are so far out as
some people believe.
I can't understand why this was
not foreseen, as the present
assessment building should never
have been errected there in the
first place.
They should have recognized
it as only the beginning of the
destruction of the only structure
of its kind in North America,
Let's hope that the County
Council sits down and handles
-it in the proper manner, as this

Grey dawn of darkness breaks

The flag of remembrance is

Why do I stand still and silent

Listening in wonder as those

The cold blast of war never

But my generation grew up
proud and free,
The shadow of death never ours

Peace and prosperity we freely

Witnesses plan assembly in Hanover
Jehovah's Witnesses and their
friends have been invited to
spend the weekend of Feb, 3, 4,
in Hanover Ontario,
This announcement was made
in the local Kingdom hall follow-
ing their weekly Bible study last
Sunday.
This will be the first of two,
semi-annual circuit assemblies
arranged for 1973 in this area,
Besides delegates from the
local congregation and 17 other
congregations throughout Mid -
Western Ontario, two special
representatives from the Watch
Tower Bible and Tract Society
will be on hand. Mr, E, Daniel
Skinner, Circuit Supervisor for
this area will act as convention
manager and will care for the
many details of necessary to
facilitate a smooth running
organization. Mr. Laurence F.
Gray a District Supervisor for
Souther Ontario will be the
convention chairman.
A special event will be a dis-
course by Mr. Gray, "Decide
Now Far Divine Rulership,"
and it has been designed with the
general public in view.
The witnesses are to make a
concerted effort to direct the
attention of the public to this •
discourse by their house to house
[rOrnthi»Minisier's SiUfly
by Cecil Wittich
We live in an age of affluence. True, we complain
about increasing taxes and the rising cost of living, but,
we enjoy the highest standard of living in the world. We,
of the Western World, comprise only 20% of the world's
population but we consume 80% of the world's goods.
We throw out more food in one day that millions see in
a whole week. We have more clothing to wear in a year
than many possess in a life -time. What does this prosperity
and wealth do to us?
One danger is that it takes us away from Gal. Moses
warned the people of his day: "When you have eaten your
full, and have built goodly houses and live in them, and
when your herds and flocks multiply, and your silver and
gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied,
then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the Lord
your God, " (Deuteronomy 8: 12-14)
Another hazard is that we become proud and self-
sufficient. Again, Moses admonished: "Beware lest
you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my
hand have gotten me this wealth.' You shall remember
the Lord your God, for it Is he who gi✓is you power to
get wealth."
Moses does not say that wealth in itself is wrong, He
warns the people as to what prosperity and riches can do
to them: it can cause them to forget God and to rely
on themselves. Is this what we see happening in
North America today?
Statistics indicated that church attendance and support
is decreasing. Is the god of affluence and luxury taking
over? Are we forgetting the God who is the giver of life
and all that we possess and are?
Jesus told the story of a rich man whose land yielded
abundantly. The man built more barns to store his crops
with a view to early retirment and the enjoyment of his
wealth. But what happened? He died suddenly and had
to leave it all behind. Worse than that he was not ready
to die and meet God. Jesus said that he was a fool.
Prosperity does not need to blind us to God, Jesus came
as a light into our darkness and foolishness. He offers
us the resources to keep God and all of life in proper
perspective. He will do that if we will let him.

Huron County councillors hear growing protests over jail plans
By Shirley J. Keller
Members of Huron County Coun-
cil sat patiently Friday morning
as two separate petitions were
presented to them by persons who
deplored the fact that a part of
the jail was being removed.
Mrs, Joan Van den Broeck,
Goderich, and Garry Fisher, Kay
Dustow, Barb Blake and Reinhard
Boelmle, all of GDCI, presented
petitions to council, In total,
the petitions represented 820
persons in Huron County, , . with
more names coming in all the
time.
Mrs, Van den Broeckts told
council/
"In consideration of the fact
that your general council meetings0verwhelming support in the
are held monthly, we feel it is Goderich area and it is hoped that
wise to present to you at this
time knowledge of the context
of petitions which are presently
being circulated regarding your
proposal to tear down the
jail wall adjacent to the Assess-
ment Building,
"These petitions are receiving
they will be completed in time
for presentation to the county
'representatives at the Goderich
Town Council meeting oh Feb. 1.
"To date we can report that
we have 500 signatures.
"In deference to the opinion
that, because of the historical
significance of the building, all
the county is to some measure
involved, a sample survey will
also be conducted in your
respective communities.
"The general concensus of
opinion is that it would be
a very short-sighted move on
your part to attempt to make
any further inroads on the property
belonging to and an intrical part
of the old Huron County jail."

At 14 a boy needs a base -- a home where he knows he belongs
and a fancily for sharing and caring.
Douglas hopes for that kind of stability and so this good-
looking lad wants to be adopted. :'1)
Douglas is Indian and Anglo-Saxon in descent, Ile has brown
eyes. dark hair and olive skin and is in excellent health. Ile is
quiet and shy among strangers until the conversation turns or is
led to sports, Then he becomes really animated,
This lad's chief interest is sports. Ile plays all games, belongs
to a hockey team and never likes to miss hockey or football on
television,
Douglas is also a camping enthusiast. Ile enjoys all kinds of
music, especially rock and roll, and loud.
In Grade seven, Douglas admits that he is not keen on
studying. Ile will probably want to learn a trade when he goes on
to secondary school. Though not a great student he has
mastered two languages — English and French. Ile speaks, both
well but says he likes French better.
With his pleasant; friendly personality Douglas gets on well
with other children.
Ile needs loving involved parents in a home where the at-
mosphere is easy-going along with firm, consistent discipline.
Academicexpectations should not be demanding.
To inquire about adopting Douglas, please write to Today's
Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2112.. For general
adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid
Society,

Breakfast bacon,
lean or fat
Consumers often ask "Why is
breakfast bacon not leaner?"
"Why don't processes trim off
more of the fat?" The reason
is very simple, say food specialists
at the Ontario Food Council, Min-
istry of Agriculture and Food,'
Side bacon, for better or for worse
is always going to be .one of the
fatter pork cuts. It is the com-
bination of lean and fat that
gives side bacon such unique
flavor and taste appeal,
While the fat on most pork
cuts can be readily trimmed off,
producing a product that's
reasonably lean; with side bacon
there is no possible way of trim-
ming or removing the fat, The
streaks of lean and fat are inter-
woven in such a way that any
trimming is virtually impossible.
As it goes through the production
line, bacon is sorted fora good
proportion and distribution of
the lean. Many packers have
2 or 3 brand names, They use
one particular brand foe all their
first selection bacon, another
one for their second selection,
and so on,

Huron farmers
to voice opinion
on pork licence.
The directors of the Huron County
Pork Producers Association decided
at their regular meeting in Clin-
ton Jan, 26 with the request of
the Province board and hold an
opinion poll on a pork producing
licence, At the annual meeting
to be held on February 7th, pro-
ducers will be asked to vote on
a proposal for a ten dollar licence
fee for all pork producers,
Adrien Vos,newly appointed
spokesman for the Huron County
group, pointed out that the licence
will not prevent any one from
entering into pork production.
The purpose of the licence is the
.saving of an estimated $10, 000
in administrative and computer
cost, and a better pinpointing
of bonafide pork producers.
Any producer of weaner pigs
who did not sell throught the
boards facilities before can
now apply for a licence and re-
ceive all the rights and privileges
of an association member, Con-
versely, any one shipping less than
23 hogs per year can apply to the
county to have his money refunded,
James McGregor, provincial board
member announced that all pro-
ducers who shipped more than fifty
hogs in 1972 will receive a state-
ment of their transactions during
the year.

Agricultural tid6ils
With ADRIAN VOS
From time to time we will en_
deavor to give 'some tidbits of
news from the farm scene that •
we think will interest townsfolk
as well as farmers, It is a well
known fact that urban consumers
often have a misunderstanding
as to what is going on in the
county side, and we will do our
best to clear up some of this.
So here goes,
Agricultural Minister Whelan
said the other day that each farm
worker today supplies food for
50 people, Coincidentally, his
U. S, counterpart Earl Butz
said the same of U,S. farmers and
Dairy course
planned
at Londesboro
Londesboro will be the
site next Wednesday, Feb.
7 of a dairy feeding workshop.
The workshop, conducted by the
the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and food a_ t
the Londesboro Hall,
The workshop will help
show dairy farmers how to
determine a ration for their
own dairy herd making use
of their own feed.
The weather last fall prevented
many farmers from harvesting
their corn crops on time, and
in some cases made it impossible
for fall plowing. However, corn
stover left standing over the
winter can be beneficial, parti-
cularly on sloping land, says Pro-
fessor J.W.Ketcheson, Department
of Land Resource Science, Uni-
versity of Guelph. Many soils,
particularly the more coarsely
textured oneswill produce equally
well with spring plowing,
The snow retained by the corn
stalks acts as an insulator, re- ,
ducing the depth of frost pene-
tration and allowing water to
percolate through the soil during
melt periods. In this way sur-
face run-off is avoided, lessening -
potential sources of pollution to
streams and groundwater, and
reducing gullies that interfere
with machine operation. Increased
water infiltration prevents the loss
of soil and soil nutrients. The
soil will warns up faster in the
spring with reduced frost pene-
tration and will be ready for
planting earlier.
Corn stover can be cut or shred-
ded in the spring before plowing
if difficulties are anticipated in
covering the materials. Heavy-
duty cultivators can also be used
in place of the conventional mold-
board plows. When extensive
acreages of sloping land are de-
voted to corn or other row crops,
"no -tillage" type of preparation
should be used to prevent erosion.
No -tillage preparation requires
planting equipment that can cut
through residues and untilled soils.
Corn is then planted directly in
the undisturbed residues.
Corn stover plowed into the
soil in the spring does not require
any more nitrogen fertilizer than
would be used for a similar crop
without stover return. Fertilizer
supplying 90 to 120 pounds of
nitrogen per acre is usually the
maximum per year. If manure
is used, or legumes are plowed
down prior to the crop .rch less
nitrogen is required.
If you have to spring plow, plan
ahead now to make the best use
of valuable time.
Davis to speak
at HFA meeting
added that this is three times the
number of people supplied 20
years ago. How is that for
efficiency? If Bell telephone
and the other industrial giants
did half as well, the word "in-
flation" would have to be looked
up in the dictionary to find its
meaning,
Autobody repairmen in the
swine farrowing barn? Not quite,
but the U.S. magazine, "National
Livestock Producer",_ recommends
autobody cement for the floor
where little piggies kneel down for
mothers bottle, to prevent abras-
ions on their dainty little knees.
Many people think that a 1000
pound steer gives a lot of waste,
but the chairman of Nebraska's
Waste Control Advisory Committee
says that the beast gives off only
3,41 gallons (U, S.) of waste
runoff a day, If one compares
this with human waste including,
kitchen, toilet, showers, wash -
Harvey Davis, former warden
of Bruce county will be guest
speaker at the February meeting
of the' Huron Federation of
Agriculture Thursday Feb. 1,
The meeting will be held in
the Clinton town hall at 8:30 p.m.
Mr. Davis will speak on
regional government and beef,
basins and laundry wastes of
some 75 gallons per day it means
that one human has as much waste
as 22 full grown steers.
For years and years the American
Heart Association in conjunction
with the vegetable oil industry
has waged war on meats and an-
imal fats. Now Dr. George Mann
of the Department of Biochemistry
Venderbilt University School of
Medicine in Nashville Tennessee,
called it a shamefull chapter in
medical science, as there are no
true scientific approaches and
conclusions are not based on facts,.
He stated that Masai men in
Africa eat much more cholesterol
but do not die of heart disease
because they have plenty of exer-
cise. Dr. Mann called the
cholesterol claims absurd and
said meat was the best diet in
human history, (From an article
by Michael Pembry in "Canadian
Pork"), So folks, go ahead and
order those mouth-watering inch -
thick pork -chops,

Emphysema
clubs + give
help
Emphysema is a hard disease
to live with, But emphysema
clubs can help soften the strain.
Emphysema is a chronic lung
disease that makes breathing a
struggle to survive. When the
walls of the lungs' air gets trapped
inside, People who have emphy-
sema cannot force air out of their
lungs, Their lungs get larger and
inflated.
With advanced emphysema,
even the simplest movements --
like tying a shoe -lace can be
excruciating. As,activities are
restricted, living a normal life
,becomes more impossible. And,
in addition to physical distress
there are psychological draw-
backs.
rawbacks. Many emphysema patients
give up social activities and
become isolated from the world
around them,
Emphysema clubs try to change
all that. They help provide the
enormous comfort of others who
know how it is. People with the
disease not only find friends
but they learn how to live easier
with their condition. They find
out short cuts to dressing and -
doing light household chores,
They get to know how to clean
a nebulizer and do exercises
that help breathing, They
learn what kinds of medical
benefits are available to people
with lung disease and what the
emotional effects of living with
a chronic illness are,
Many local tuberculosis and
respiratory disease associations •
across the county are sponsoring
emphysema clubs, And they
are trying to get the facts to
others as well as patients.
One of the facts about emphy-
sema is that there is no cure
for the disease, only ways to
live easier with it. But there
is a known cause: years of
cigarette smoking.
See your local association for
more facts about lung disease,
cigarette smoking, and emphy-
sema clubs. It's a matter of
life and breath,

Recent new stories about fuel
shortages in New York city and
a number of north-eastern states
must have been a real shock, not
only to many Americans, but to
every thinking Canadian. I know
it shook me, when I considered
the implications,
It was the first strong warning
of what's to come — a world-
wide shortage of fuel and energy,
And that's, a frightening pros-
pect,
Experts have been issuing
warnings for years, but these
usually consist of an article in
the Saturday supplement, easily
forgotten or ignored.
l'm no expert, but any school
child knows that there is only so
much oil and gas in the earth,
that there is only so much water-
power to be harnessed, and
when that's gone, it's gone. For •
good,
Already parts of the U.S., espe-
cially the heavily industrialized
and populated east, are on the
verge of a crisis in the fields of
energy and water.
What happens in the States will
inevitably happen in Canada,
though it may take a little longer,
because of our much smaller
population and much greater
reserves,
But unless science can come
up with some new, cheap means
of producing energy and fresh
water, things arc going to be
pretty shaky by the turn of the
century,.
Perhaps, as always, it's the
only way man can learn anything
— by having it shoved down his
,throat.
Perhaps we won't stop wasting
energy resources until we're
reduced to the point where we're
cooking dinner over a fire of buf-
falo chips, as the pioneers did,
Except that there won't be any
buffalo to provide the chips,
Wouldn't you think that
Canada, having witnessed at first
hand the ravages the Americans
have madeon their own
resources, would have learned a
lesson?
Wouldn't you think that we'd
be hoarding carefully, with an
eye to five hundred years from
now, our dwindling resources?
Wouldn't you think that our so-
called leaders could see more
than twenty-five years ahead?
Many of them seem to be think-
ing no farther ahead than the
next election.
One of these fine years, unless
we begin to conserve and pre-
serve, there'll be an Old Mother
Hubbard story that will wreak
untold misery on millions of
humans.
But that's an old tale, of
course, in this country. Through
a combination of human greed,
short-sighted leadership and
plain stupidity, Canadians have
been content to continue their
century -old role as hewers of
wood and drawers of water, and
to sell anything they could to
foreign investors: British,
American and European.
There's a great lot of red-hot
nationalism in our country these
days. But ninety-five per cent of
it is words, words, words.
The people who make the real
decisions are not the writers,

painters, students, but the cold -
eyed, grey-haired men who sit
in the board -rooms, and would
sell their grandmothers into slav-
ery if the interest rates were
right,
They're the babies who have
looted our forests and mines and
are currently pawning our
energy resources, And they're
the birds, with some notable
exceptions, who take off for the
Bahamas or Switzerland when
the taxes get rough and they've
made their pile,
To most of them, the unem-
ployed are an unfortunate
statistic, the poor a necessary
nuisance, They know where
every nickel of government
handouts is, They know every
tax dodge, They are the real and
only second-class citizens of this
country,
Holy smokes! I'm beginning to
sound like acommunist agitator.
l'm not. I just get sick at heart
when I see what's happening to
the country 1 love.
Talk about being sold down the
river! We're being sold down all
our rivers and all our pipelines'
as well.
Canada might be compared to
youth. Youth can, and does,
burn up energy without a thought
for the morrow. He. can dance
and drink all night, stand all day
In the rain, hitch -hiking, sleep on
the floor, ski all day on weekends
and sleep all day in school.
But imperceptibly, and then
suddenly, the youth is middle-
aged. The luxuriant hair falls
out, the belly thickens, the pace
slows, and the joints begin to
ache, The energy has been
burned up, much of it uselessly,
and the cupboard grows progres-
sively bare, , ,
Is that what we're doing today
in our comparatively youthful
country? Are we going to wake
up with no hair, arthritis, and a
pot belly with nothing to put it
it?
And while this is taking place
before our eyes, the politicians

chatter like parrots, jockeying
for position, their eyes fixed
irremovably on the past.
I've no solution. The only thing
I might suggest, in view of the
energy crisis, is that all the politi-
cians in North America be laid
end to end. They'd make an
admirable; pipe -line, of just the
right girth, And they'd produce
enough natural gas in one session
to stave off the crisis for years.

Iehin� Ih.e Scenes
By Keith Roulston
There are those to whom history
is a giant bore and there are those
who can't think of a nicer past
time than delving into the past.
I am one of the latter.
I've always been a history buff
whether just reading about ;he
past in books or getting involved
in a much more personal way by
visiting museums or rummaging
around old buildings,
There is a time coming up in
Blyth when everyone is going to
get involved in history, Blyth will
celebrate its centennial as an
incorporated village in 1977 and
no doubt there will be a Sig
wingding to mark the occasion,
There also should be, I feel,
a good history of the village
and the whole community
available by then. So, after
talking to a few people, I de-
cided a few months back to under-
take the task of writing such a
history, I hope that no one: -
else has had the same thing in
mind and that I may be tramping
on their toes but after asking
around , could find no one who
knew of other plans for such a
project.
Blyth, from what I have seen
so far in my life here, has a
fascinating history, The problem
is that often fascinating history
becomes dull reading. The way
to beat this is to get information
from all sources, Too many times
historians go only to sources like
the registry office or old news'-
paper
ews=paper files for their facts. The
result is just that facts, cold dry
facts that soon bore a reader to
tears. Oh facts are needed but
facts alone don't tell the story of
the spirit of those magnificent
people who built this country.
One didn't have to be a reeve
to have made a great contribution
to building this town. One didn't
have to be rich either. One
only had to hay ideas and the
guts and determination to
see them through.
I sten wish I could go back to
visit this part of Canada in the
1870's, 1880's and 1890's and
even through to before World
War One. Those were the days
when towns like ours were alive
with dreams and hopes. The
awful knowledge of the facts
and economic life had not yet
set in. A man could start a
business and dream of it becoming
the biggest in the land, He
could dream of his little village
becoming a city. Anything was
possible as long as the dream
and drive.were present.
Those were the days when the
small villages of Huron County
swarmed with activity. There
were salt wells in Blyth, Clinton,
Seaforth and a number of other
centres as well as Goderich.
The coming of the railwaywas
seen as the move that would make
every hamlet a great centre for,
trade and industry. There were
barrel factories, and cheese
factories, apple cider mills and
foundaries and hotels. oh
how there were hotels, Every
•
village had a large handful.
Every other concession corner
on main roads had an inn, One
wonders if the whole population
was not alcholic,
They lived a harder life in many
ways than we do but in many ways
it was also better. There was for
instance that.feeling of optomism
in the samall metropolises of
Huron. Later the hard facts of life
were driven home to us as one by
one the hotels closed, the salt
works were abandoned, the
cheese factories closed and the.
apple cider mills ground no
more. The big plants in the cities
and the problems of costly trans-
portation strangled the dreams of
the pioneers, The brain drain
began with the best young minds
going off to work in the cities
and using their intelligence and
the drive inherited from their
fathers, they made big city firms
so Ftrong it was even harder:
for little towns to compete.
Then came the depression which
killed off more business and in
a sense we have been depressed
ever since. There is above all
in our small towns a feeling
of hopelessness. There is a
feeling that business, big
government and big time
economics have ganged up to
keep us down,
That's why I hope people will
get involved in history when
•
entennia1 time comes. I
hope they will be able to feel

Prince and Princess Contest:
Clinton Winter Carnival is
coming, •and each year, a boy
• and girl from Hullett Central
are chosen by the students as
representatives of the school in
the Prince and Princess contest.
On Friday, January 26, the.
election took place with pupils
from Grades 4 to 8 participating.
The candidates for princess were
Christine McNall, Christine
Carter, Donna Reid, Kathy
Penfound and Glenna Ellis,
while Ron Plunkett and Tom
Pollard were candidates for
prince. Mr. MacLennan
announced the election results
on Friday afternoon, which
were Glenna Ellis for princess
and Ron Plunkett for prince.
Public Speaking Contest:
On Wednesday, January 24,
the Oral Communications Festi-
val public speaking contest was
, held in the school auditorium,
the contestants being from Grades,
7and8.
Judges were Mrs. Pat Allen,
from Blyth, Mrs. Brenda Radford,
from Londesboro, and'Mr. John
Brownridge, English teacher at
Central Huron Secondary School
in Clinton.
Ann Snell, Grade 7, won the
contest with her speech about a
pet sheep called ""Grandma".
Glenna Ellis, Grade 8, placed
second and Jackie Nesbitt,
Grade 8 placed third. Other
contestants were Cathy Peel,
Wendy Tyndall, and Laurie Stack-
house.
Student Council;
January 23, 24 and 25's recesses
were busy for the members of
the student Council.
Among the topics discussed
were a combined dance and
toboggan party for Grades 7 and 8,
a car wash, and a decorating
committee fcr the Vvlentine's
Assembly. The members of
the council present at the meet-
ing were Cathy Peel, Ann Snell,
Christine Carter, Wendy Tyndall,
Madelyn Sewers and Donna Reid.
Mr. Riley was present also.
Sports:
On Thursday, January 25, the
boys' and girls' volleyball teams
travelled to Clinton Public School
to play their teams. The girls
played three games losing the
first 15-13, but winning the other
two by 15-7 and 15-12 scores.
The boys played two games,
the scores of which were 15-0
and 15-12 both in favour of
the gripping sense of resolve
that made the pioneers fight
against odds worse than we face
today, to build this community.
If we can get even part of their
enthusiasm, we can make this a
great community. Perhaps not
a large one, but a great one.
And really, quality counts much
more than quantity.
P. Ss We'd appreciate the help
of everyone connected with
the community to help make a
good history of the Blyth Com-
munity. If you have an old
picture or old letters or diaries
written by community builders
of years gone by, we like to
see them and perhaps borrow
them for a few days. If it's
history, we'd like to know about
it. '
