B ylh council initiates action on sanhtary sewers
Blyth village council took first
- step towards.installing sewers
in Blh at its regular meeting
.,-_Monday night.
.'.Councilagreed to have Reeve
Robbie Lawrie contact the reeve
of Zurich a village slightly sma-
ller than Blyth which is in the
process of having sewers put in
at the present time. The reeve
is to set up a meeting .in Zurich
so that Blyth councillors.can

Hall to get inspection
Memorial Hall is to be probed
from top to bottom following
meetings of the Blyth Recreat-
ion Committee and Blyth Village
Council in the past week.
Delegations from the Blyth
Little Theatre and Blyth Board
of Trade were present at both
meetings urging the bodies to
proceed with renovation required
to the building so it could again
be used.
At the Recreation Committee
meeting they were told that
plans for fire escapes were now
with the Department of Labour
for approval and once they were
returned the construction would
be ready to begin.
Wiring proved .to be another
problem, however. The
delegation was told that the
wiring had not been condemned
at present that it was only a
matter of time before -the inspec-
tor was required to look at the
old wiring ,and that it would'
never meet approval under mod-
ern standards.
Bill Howson a representative
from the village council on the
Recreation Committee suggested
that the wiring inspector from
Ontario Hydro be called in as
soon as possible so that the whole
story could be told and estimates
made as to how expensive re-
placing the wiring would be.
The same delegations appro-
ached council Monday night.
Councillor John Manning wond-
ered about the strength of the
roof structure of the building
saying he could see signs of
spreading where the back wing
and front wing joined. He felt
it was foolish to spend more
money on the structure until
it was found out if it was safe.
A motion was passed to call in
an expert to look at the problem
in the next week or so with a
special meeting to be held if
necessary to take speedy action
once the facts are known.
learn some of the problems
Zurich faced in the project and
if possible not make the same
mistakes.
Councillor Bill Howson noted
that five years ago the majority
of people in Blyth were dead
against sewers but that now even
most older homeowners, who
fear increased taxes, are in
favour of the move, He felt
it was time to get the ball
rolling.
But if council's decision to
pursue details on a sewerage
system for Blyth may make some
older ratepayers apprehensive,
another move by council should
aid many senior citizens. On the
urging of Reeve Lawrie council
also moved to investigate acqui-
ring senior citizenshousing for
Blyth.
Councillor John Manning felt
such housing could not be built
in Blyth without sewers but other
councillors argued that other
villages without sewers such as
Brussels and Teeswater.were
acquiring the apartments.
It was noted that the apart-
ments, erected by the Ontario
Housing Corporation and funded
by the federal Canadian Mortg-
age and Housing Corporation
would cost the taxpayers of the
village nothing if they were
built here. They would offer
qualified senior citizens excel-
lent accomodation' at greatly
reduced rents geared to the in-
come of the tennant. Reeve
Lawrie promised to contact
Murray Gaunt, M. P, P. to in-
quire what procedures to go
through to have OHC conduct a
survey of the village and surr-
ounding area for possible resid-
ents,
Council learned that the road
subsidy from the Ontario Minis-
try of Transport and Communi•
-
cations has been raised from
$7500 last year to $9000 this
year.
Members of council also in-
structed the clerk to seek Blyth's
inclusion in the Ministry of In-
dustry and Tourism's Equaliza-
tion of Opportunities Program
which would aid persons in Blyth
involved in tourism through
grants.
Grants of $25 each were given
to the Belgrave-Blyth-Brussels
School Fair, St. John's Ambul-
ance and Salvation Army.
Bill Manning was reappointed
for a further two-year term as
Blyth's representative on the
Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority.
Council raised the salary of
Len Rooney, superintendent of
the Blyth-Hullett dump to $2,00
an hour from $1.65. It also
agreed to;;the purchase of a bui-
lding as shelter for the dump
superintendent.
Belgrave
Credit Union

the community with a Banquet
and Business meeting followed
by a dance on February 2nd in
the Belgrave Women's Institute
Hall,
Ninety members and guests

provoking address. Clarke
Johnston entertained with a song
and Clifford Coultes gave a
monologue,
President Gilbert Beecroft
reported a successful year and
that the directors have reduced
the interest note on loans 10
per cent retroactive to Jan. 1.
George Michie in the managers
report compared the 20th year
with the first year which showed
steady growth.
The members approved the
directors recommendation to
give a 25 per cent rebate on
interest paid during 1972 and
five per cent dividend on

founding 20 years ago; John
Nixon to the position on the
Credit Committee left vacant
by the late Martin Grasby;
Mason Robinson to the Super-
visory Committee.
Speaker lolls farmers_ Canadian society's priorities wrong
Members of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture were
told. Thursday night that the
priorities of Canadian society
are wrong.
The meeting of 70 farmers
from throughout the county
heard Harvey Davis of Dobb-
inton, reeve of Eldersley town-
ship, quoted from an article in
the Toronto Daily Star which
showed that the tin apple juice
is sold in costs two cents more
than the apple juice itself, Mr.
Davis, who is a former warden
of Bruce County, member of
the Ontario Press Council and
president of the Bruce County
Beef Improvement Association
told the group that out of every
$10 spent on food, less than
Morris grants
money
"to Federation
A delegation from the Morris
Township Federation of Agri-
culture was present at the
Moats Township council meet-
ing.on Feb. 2.
The delegation comprised of
William Coultes, William
Pullen and Emerson Mitchell
asked that the grant or levy
system of funding the Federa-
tion be reimposed. Council
agreed to a grant of $400.
James Cardiff of the Howick
Mutual Insurance Company was
present to discuss insurance
coverage on the hall and shed.
Adjustments were made in the
present coverage. -
Membership in the Ontario
Good Roads Association was
paid.
Road accounts of $4, 934.34
and general accounts of
$1,447.74 were approved for
payment.
$4 went to the farmer, the
primary producer.
He said farming was the only
business he knew of that bought
at retail prices and sold at
wholesale.
Mr. Davis said that cries
about high food costs were un-
justified to a certain extent
because if prices for farm
produce had risen at the sante
rate of other products such as
cars, the prices would be far
higher.
He pointed out that the cost
of food has not risen a the
same rate because of the trem-
endous increase in the product-
ivity of the farmer. In the last
15 years, he said, the efficien-
cy of the farmer had increased
100 percent while the efficiency
of industry in general had risen ,
only 60 percent. He gave an
illustration from the beef
industry where he said 20 years
ago a farmer could raise 40
head of cattle on 100 acres of
land. Now by using the land
to grow corn to feed to his
cattle the farmer could ra ise
the same number of animals
producing the same amount of
meat on only seven acres.
He said the government's
attempts to maintain a cheap
food policy can be easily seen
through the number of expert
consultants the government pays
to help farmers improve their
efficiency.
- Mr. Davis said most farmers
would like to be able to earn
enough •to pay good wages' for
farm labour. He quoted
statistics which showed the av-
erage wage for farm labour is

Few are the people who can rememberwhen. Queen Street in
Blyth resembled the one shown here in this picture in 1902 taken
during a celebration of the Frost and Wood Co. The picture
was brought in to the Standard 'office last week after we asked
for help in gathering a history of Blyth. The building second
on the right appears to be where the Needlecraft Shoppe is today
but the imposing brick structures on either side of it have long
ago disappeared. On the left side of the street a block of stores
was occupied by H.R. Brewer, photographer and R.R. Douglas
with his bakery, grocery and restaurant has also been gone many
years. It appears to be the location of Radford Construction •
garage and the McClindhey service station.

Keep jail walls, but...
A large portion :of the population of Goderich and many
other people in thecountyare upset over the decision of
Huron'County Council to tear down the walls of the old
county jail in Goderich in order to expand the Regional Ass-
essment Office.
The county reasons that the walls must come down or there
is a chance the assessment office might move out of Huron to
Stratford, The other side of the question is put by the protest-
ers who see the ancient jail as a landmark which should be
saved. The county has already talked about leasing the jail
to the town of Goderich for a nominal sum so it can be turn-
ed into a museum and outdoor theatre.
It seems ridiculous of the county to' dangle the museum idea
in front of people's noses, then pull it away just when they .are
ready to grab it. We would agree with the editor of the
Clinton News-Reccrd who suggests that the assessment office be
moved, if it needs more space, He suggested a good site
would be the large modern training centre at the farmer CFB
Clinton. This building is in good shape and could hold not
only the assessment office but all other county branches of
government if needed.
We doubt, however, if anyone in Goderich, even the most
ardent "save -the -wall" proponent will back this suggestion.
The writers of letters to the editor about the -wall all take
pains to point out that the proposed museum will benefit the
whole' county, not just Goderich. The argument is -that any-
thing that brings money into the county helps everyone. How-
ever, when it comes to locating something like an assessment
office or a weather station somewhere else in the county, it
seems many people in Goderich forget this same line of
argument.
When Goderich people take this line of reasoning, one can
not find it hard to see why people in the. rest of the county
find it hard to get worked up over the whole jail walls
controversery,
Big Blue rides again
The election campaign for the March 15 by-election in
Huron riding hasn't even kicked off yet but it seems Premier'
Davis' big blue machine is warmed up and ready to steam-
roller not only the Liberals and the New Democrats but also
the local Conservative party,
It .was the unanimous opinion of a number of veteran pol-
itical observers we talked to last week that Don Southcott al-
ready has the Conservative nomination just about sewn up.
The party in Toronto seemed to be doing everything possible
to• make sure of this, For instance, the snap calling of the
elction caught not only the opposition but also many -of. the
candidates for the Conservative nomination who had been under
the impression the election would not be close at hand. Mr.
Southcott, it would seem to many, had an edge on the others
in his party because of his close ties in Toronto.
One can see the reason why Mr. Southcott might be wanted
as the new member of the legislature from Huron by the
party hierarchy in Toronto. He already has five years exper-
ience in the workings of Queen's Park and would fit smoothly
into the government, something that would take a considerable
length of time for any other Conservative and, of course, be
impossible for a Liberal or New Democrat.
The snap calling of the election seems to have other mot-
ivations also. By-elections are dreaded by governments because
they give people a chance to protest economic or political
policies of the government without being afraid of toppling
the government, The government is obviously afraid of an
upset in a riding where its moves in regional government,
health care and formation of county boards of education have
never been popular. The hurry up election will prevent the
opposition from mounting a concerted attack on these unpop-
ular issues and may prevent an embarrassing upset for Mr.
Davis and his big blue machine.
No one has ever been able to duplicate the astute political
feats of the Conservative party in Ontario and it seems we
may be about to see just how clever the party can be in yet
another election,

Today's the day,, Today's ,the
last day at the office before I
leave on the wonderful vaca-
tion' I told you about a week
or so ago. I just • cannot believe
the time for departure is so
close.
Now that it is here, I rather
hate to leave. I can't explain
it' really, but it seems that
once it starts it will soon be
over.. , and when it is over it
will be a long, long time be-
fore it will start again, Can
you understand that?
Grandma is going to come
to stay with the kids for the
short while we're away from
home during our holiday.
Grandmas are just wonderful...
especially our grandma. She
comes in and takes over. Aside
from the fact that she has a
different routine (and cooks a
little differently to boot) our
children hardly know we're
away.
Noticed the other day that
the hints about "what to bring
me" are just beginning. Our
littlest son noted that if ,it so
happened that we were trying
to select something to bring
home to him, we should con-
sider a new hockey stick.
And for the past few days
whenever there's a disagree-
ment around the kitchen about
this or that, the kids remind
each other they had better •
match what they say lest mom
and dad forget them when the
goodies are passed out after
holidays..
So everyone at our house is
preparing for our vacation...
and today is the last day be-
fore it actually begins. •
•
I maybe should tell you that
sometime during our vacation,
we're planning a jaunt down
to Ohio to see an old and dear
friend. She and her husband, a
recently graduated minister,
are moving to a small rural
congregation in that state.
They won't be ,any more than
nicely settled when we arrive
...and that should make their
month a total disaster. ,
•
We hadn't planned to visit
this couple until we heard they
were moving within easy tray
elling distance of our residence.
It has been three years since -
we last saw them and it seems
like about time we look them
up again.
Also sometime between the
papering. and the painting and
the 'scrubbing and the cleaning
planned for our vacation at
home, 'hubby and I will attend
the Ontario -Weekly Newspapers
Association ,Convention in Lon-
don... Ontario.
I've never been to a news-
paper convention and I' m truly
looking forward to it, I've
heard all sorts of wild and won-
derful rumors about convent-
ions of all kinds and I'm going
to find out if it is really and
truly right what they say about
them,
I'll not be writing this jibb-
erish for about a month, I'm
really going whole hog this
vacation and I'm severing all
ties with my readers for a per-
iod of three of four weeks.
Let them have a vacation from
me, too, I say.
Judging from some of the
scuttlebutt, one really wonders
whether the public appreciates
the efforts of the weekly news-
paper or its writers, In the
town where I live (and I'll
wager in your village or town
as well) there are people who
call the newspaper "the local
rag". I had one lady tell me
one time that she wouldn't
even line her birdcage with the
newspaper I helped produce!
A few weeks ago, I heard
ar new description for the news-
paper with which I'm presently
associated on a regular basis.
This person called it the "seven
to one edition",, , seven days to
produce and one minute to
read. Is it any wonder I need
a holiday... or that I think
you probably need a vacation
from me, too?
Not long ago, a fellow was
by SHIRLEY J,
KELLER, .
in my office complaining' about
the paper. He, like so many
other folks, said the newspaper
had no reading matter in it.
He should have said the ,paper •
had nothing in it.'which inter-
ested . him,. . but he wasn't that
sharp,. I -guess.
Anyway, -I ignored his re-
mark and went on -to discuss
with him one 'of the local -
controversies, It was obvious
he didn't know the facts in the
matter and he was surprised at
my knowledge on the subject.
"Where'd you learn all that?"
he asked, amazed.
"Froin the horse's mouth,"
I told him,' "And it is all
written up in that paper you
say has no news." -
Hooray! It is get -away time
for me... and for you.
Senile...
There may be some truth to
this reincarnation theory,
judging by the way some
people come back to life at
quitting time.
Writer says TV shows unfair
Dear Editor,
The morning and afternoon
television viewing consists
mainly of game shows. This
a good form of entertain-
ment. However, some of these
shows appear to be unfair and
mis justice is easy to pick out.
At 11:30 on channel 13 there
is the game show, "Beat the
Clock". The first couple comes
jogging into the studio. They
do their stunts and if they
are lucky they receive over
$150, Along with the money,
•they also get a prize. Fifteen
minutes later the second couple
comes running. in, ' They com-
plete their stunts. They either '
get more or less money than
the first couple. But, they get
much better prizes than the
first couple. At the end, in
the playoff between the two
couples the couple which has
won the most also wins the
prize in the playoff. This may
sound fair but the first couple's
stunts are much harder than
the other's stunts.
Also on channel 13 at 2:00
is the show, "Anything You
Can Do". This is a game
which matches the women
and men who must use both
their brains and muscles. But
there is unfairness when the`
team are not treated the same.
At 3:30 on Channel 13 is,
"What's The Good Word", It
has always made me wonder
haw a word can pop into a
tram's mind rigid after another
team has the right answer. I
guess somethings can't or will
not be explained.
"Headline Hunters" is
also a game show on channel
13. It is on Tuesday nights at
7:30, In this show you match
wits with other players. But if
this show is to be fair they
must not put teachers up :
against people who professions
require less education.
By the previous examples you
likely assumed that all the
mis justice is done by channel
13, This is wrong.
Last night (Friday) I was
watching CKNX's new show.
In this show a person , is phoned
and he has to identify the
person. They phoned a lady
and she said it was Johnny
Cash, This person, however,
was . a lady, He gave her
a nother guess and she got the '
,right person and won $80.
Several calls latera lady was •
called and she made the same
mistake as the lady before.
BUT she didn't get another
chance. Is this justice?
If there can be no justice
on television, then how can.
anyone think that there can
be justice in our world, •
These shows, in my opinion,
should be removed or changed
for the benefit of the viewing
audience,
Yours truly,

Dear- Editor,.; • .
Some Answers...
Last .week in your editorial
you asked - a few --questions of
the directors of the Blyth Ag-
ricultural; Society.-- here are
some _answers - not from a
director,-• but,,a director's wife,
and • one who has been closely
associated :with the Society and
the fair, f or • a few years,
1. 'Of those 65. persons who
were at- Westfield on
a number went out of duty, as
. directors -or members of the
Society, and in most cases.
took wives or husbands as the
case may ,be, There were those
-:who went .to represent their •
organizations. (public relations)
and their wives or husbands.: -
Then some went to see • if , this '
was really going to be the last
-of the fair. -
If, • as- 'you' imply these were
all interested, in the contin
uance' of the fair', why then
'did_ NO ONE offer when given
the opportunityto become
actively 'involved?- -
2. The nominating. committee
certainly attempted -to find a -
president. Our first vice-presi-
dent resigned before the meet-
ing, . and no other director was
willing to step in and take the
job. The story has been the
same for the past four- years -
some are willing to let their '
name stand on the books, but
have no intention of. stepping
up when their turn comes. -
As to .running the fair by
committee it is more or.
less, We h ave :committees who
look- after various sections of
the fair, but as has been the
case, for the past few years we
run out of people before every-'
thing is -looked after. If one
large committee was respon-
sible for. the fair this would
probably prove unsatisfactory, .
as it has been our experience
that 'each small committee has
been interested only in their
. section of the .fair,, and not
the ,fair as a whole. This has
- been: part _of the downfall of
the ,fair. . •
-
3. Lack of help has defin-
itely been a factor in closing
the fair. We have asked for
help' - both publicly and. on a --
person to person basis, The an-
swerwe usually get is - "Sure
I'd like to help the fair but -
(a) Pm already involved in
too many organizations.
(b) I just don't have the
time.
(c) I've seen how hard those
really involved with the fair
have to work, and I don't
think that's for me.
New people who have come
At the suggestion of the writer, we have reprinted
the editorial in question.
Somelquestions...,I;
Last week in their wisdom the direcitors 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 time goes 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 far 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 a't some other way could be
found to run the fair ( by commnttee perhaps)?.
3. Lack of help was sighted as a problem which helped
kill the fair 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.

He also said he was disill-
usioned,with regional govern-
ment. He said it would cost
more and take away ,the basic
democratic need of cominun-
ication between the people and
the legislators. Under, the pres-
ent system, he said, a person
can pick up the telephone and
call his councillor_ anytime he
wants. Under regional govern-
ment,_ however, the alderman
(or whatever he is called)
would be harder to reach.

Fairdecision
to work for the 'fair have had
to take a heavy share of the
work and responsibility too
soon, and they get fed up.
Who can blame them? A fair
SHOULD be fun for those
who- have to put it on, as well
as for the visitors!
4. I don't doubt the honesty
of any director in carrying out
his responsibilities to the
Society and the fair.
The majority of the mem-
bership was not in Westfield on
Jan. 24, so how can you know
what their wishes were? How-
ever, we can assume that most.
of the MEMBERS would like a
fair - fine - BUT it is the
DIRECTORS who are responsible
for putting on the fair, so it
is up to THEM to decide if
there will be a fair or not,
A director does not assume
responsibility of running the fair
when he becomes a director of
the Society. The Society does
not exist solely to put on a
fair - in fact, according to the
Agricultural Societies Act,
there are to be seven objectives

• of -an Agricultural Society, anct
one of those is to hold an
agricultural exhibition, -
I know that NONE of the dir-
ectars has ONLY negative feel-
ings about the fair. Certainly
most -of ithern have SOME and
these- negative feelings are
justified. Most of the directors
.do not like to see the fair
discontinued but the handwrit-
ing has been on the wall for
some time,
5, I -don't think that any dir-
ector blamed anyone for not
corning out to the fair, '
Changes have been tried in the
past few years, but when you
have a small -Society with lim-
ited funds, 'and few active dir-
ectors, it ' is ' very hard, if not
impossible to compete with '
large exhibitions, and to pro -
vice the type of- exhibits and -
entertainment which the public
seem to want today. -
As for -serving the commun-
ity, having a fair is not the
only way the Society could
serve - in fact in talking to
var ions members of this comm-
unity, one gets the impression
that perhaps the fair is not a
service, but a nuisance,
6, I don't think that interest
without involvement was ever
given as a reason to continue
the fair, Certainly over the
years,' anyone who has been
interested enough has had an
opportunity to come and be a
I part of the fair. There have
:been a few areas where inter-
est is found, but not sufficient
to carry the whole fair,
! I am pleased to read that
you are worried about the con-
sciences of the directors - of
which you are one, but as for
sarcasm and insinuations as to
the moral integrity of the other
directors I do think that is a
little out ofplace in the ed-
itorial . of a:.newspaper. I can
most certainly vouch for the
honesty, fairness, and intell-
igence of the director with
whom I am living.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wilma Scott,

Witnesses
meet
at Hanover
A crowd of 1347 men, wom-
en and children listened,
Mr. Laurence F. Gray repres-
entative of the Watch Tower
Bible and Tract Society spoke.
The subject, "Decide Now
for Divine Rulership."
Members of the local con-
gregation of Jehovah's Witnesses
were among those in Hanover
last week end to hear this dis-
course.
Mr. Gray told his audience
that the issue of rulership is
what kept the Vietnam war •
going while the leaders ,have
all but forgotten the plight of
the people. "One has only to
read the newspapers objectively
to see that independant sov-
ereignty is more important than
the welfare of any person inside
or outside the war zone, n he
said. '
Quoting from historian Arnold
J. Toynbee, Gray read, "It is
in the mutual interest of all
the nations to subordinate their
national sovereignty to world
authority," then he expressed
that Jehovah's Witnesses could
supportthis statement whole-
heartedly.
He emphasized, "that the
world authority would be Je-
hovah God the sovereign ruler
of the universe and that His
government will cure all the
ills of the world."
Giving examples of the past,
Gray said that more was re-
quired than acknowledging this
Power, all men needed to
support it fully.
In his concluding comments
Cray said that many tests would:
come upon those who would
show loyalty to God's Rulership
and cited the persecution of
Jehovah's Witnesses in Malawi
as an example.
During the assembly emph-
asis was placed upon the theme
"Do All Things To God's
Glory". It stressed the need to
place faith in God's word and
to exercise conduct in proof of
this faith.
Mr. Karl Lohse presiding min-
ister of the local congregation
said that the activity of Jehov-
ah's Witnesses is marked by
the 17 persons baptized Sunday
morning.

DEMAS •THE QUITTER. -, . He is -still very much around!
In the letters of the Apostle •Paul we find the,name of.- .
Demas three times. Writing to the -congregation in the city-
af Colosse, Paul mentions Demas together with Luke the be-
-loved' physician: both fellow workers of the .Apostle. send their
"greetings. In the letter to Philemon we= find the name of
Dimas: again. in the -row of co-workers, .who send their greet -
Ings, But later, when just before his, death as -a :martyr Paul
writes his second letter to Timothy he 'complains- only Luke
is :with_, mel And he adds: for • Demas• fell in love with this
present world and has deserted me; he has gone off to Thess-
alonica..
Demas- became. a 'quitter, : a dropout,- 'a casualty.. The. trouble
with followers like Demas is. that they fail to count -the cost.-
In, -"The- Outlook",, a 'monthly paper- devoted- to the defense
of ' the historic- Christian faith . an . editor once • made the • remark
that "Demas the 'quitter is still. very- much around". This
• statement is correct, I must say. • Indeed, there, are many like
'Dennis, also in -our .time and age. •Ask him. his name and .
. like the unclean spirit, he will have :to say,- "My -name is
Legion, for we. are many". , - •
-You may run into Demas anywhere. Talk with him about
something besides the weather - and who won the ball game.
and _chances- are you will soon recognize 'Demas for what he
- is.
A Dawson City hockey team
set two Stanley Cup records when
it took on the Ottawa Sliver Seven
in 1905. The first record was when
the northerners lost 23-2, to have
the most goals scored against any
team in playoff history. The
second was when Ottawa's one -
eyed Frank McGee scored 14 of
these goals., the largest number
in any one game by one player.
These records stand today.

Come and Worship
He, 15 always -the. type of person,who-;has: received,
tore of a Christian : home • and'. of thea Christian= church.
when you talk with him'and can get beneath the ''surface :and
begin to talk 'church and_religion, ;Demas will show.°his: -colours,`
He has turned his: back' on what, he •has been taught -and,
painful to find him 'so outspoken'in, his. denunciation:of .his"
heritage. It leaves you.feeling`something the,way'Paul; must
have felt when from. a - Roman prison he wrote -to Timotliy; •
Demas has deserted me, .'; .
Is it the familiarity that breeds contempt that leads • the
Demas of our time to fulminate ,as he does against the Gospel,
the message of 'the Church? Is it perhaps because' he has ' be-
come wise in his own conceit? Or, is 'it that . the:- circles ~ in
which he has •come to move are not; congenial to ° the' faith in
which he had been trained in youth? Only God knows: .
'-But let every -Demas .beware!' God knoWs the secrets of our •
hearts and. will surely Call every quitter to, account, , if not
already. in this 'life, , then surely. in -the final judgment of the
living and the dead.
4014
Why write about the Demas danger? Because the danger of
quitting the faith becomes very real and prevalent when the •
going. gets rough. Apostasy has. a way of bean -ming contagious
and enticing' when the heat is on. '"Wherefore let him that
thinketh he standeth' take:heed lest he fall". (1 Cor. 10:12)

Couple continues to tour Australia
The following is another lett-
er
etter from the Campbells in Aust-
ralia who have hitch-hicked
back to Eastern Australia since
Christmas.
Hi Folks,
Now for another tale about
the life of Hugh and Orlena,
At present we are roasting
under the searing rays of the
Australian sun. We have had
days on end of 100 degrees
temperatures and really hot ,
winds from the north and west..
When the winds are blowing
the atmosphere is red from
clouds of dust blown from the •
interior. You wouldn't realize
what it was like unless you ex -1
perienced it, I don't know how
people work in it as we sweat
profusely doing nothing.
We have had some interest-
ing experiences hiking across
the continent, The longest we
sat was just before crossing the'
desert. Two daysi That is us-
ual there as anyone who stops
has to put up with the hikers
for 800 miles through the des-
ert.
The two chaps from
Sydney gave us a ride f ok
1269 miles to Adelaide. VIS
made it from Adelaide to Al-
bury in one and one half days
which is good. We were able
to beat our two young men
friends all the way, but that
is because one of us is a girl.
This,heat and severe drought
Jan. 26, 19731
is over most of Australia with : magnificent structure, we spent
some parts tinder dry and there two and one half hours just on
is a total fire ban, Hay is one floor, it is so large, It
selling at $1.60 a bale, has an excellent display of war -
The four of us hiked to Can- time scenes, et.
berra, the capital of Australia y We also toured the Royal
where one of the boys has a Australian Mint and watched
sister and her family. Canberra' the process of money making,
is such a beautiful city, It was I Canberra has all the govern -
all planned first, then built.
It seems so uncrowded for a
large city and there are parks
everywhere. The downtown
area is mostly closed off to
traffic, therefore depicting a
large mall, with lots of trees
and benches. It certainly
makes shopping easier,
We toured the Botanical
Gardens, but they seemed to be
suffering from the heat. The
next day we went to the Nat-
ional Library, one of the
world's largest, You can't take
the books out, they must be
read there. It is located be-
side the man-made lake, Lake
Burley Griffin near the centre
of the city. On the outside is
44 marble pillars and in the
front entrance there is 16 stain-
ed glass windows, 11 feet by
four feet on three sides, It is
a truly beautiful building cost-
ing eight million dollars,
We went to the Parliament
Buildings which are pure white,
Directly in front is parkland
with flowers and fountains
stretching for one mile to the
War Memorial, This is also a
Horticultural Society
elects Mrs. Bill Carter
The Blyth Horticultural Society

Monday, Jan. 29 at the home
of Mr, and Mrs, Keith Webster.
Keith Webster opened the meet-
ing with a poem "The old Home"
by Eileen Sweeny. The secretary,
Mrs. Wm, Carter reported that
there were a few less members •
than in 1971,
District 8 Convention is to
be held April 28, Plans were
made for this and several com-
mittees were appointed.
The election of officers was
conducted by Mrs, Bob Carter,
past president. The following
were elected for 1973. Past

Tax revue committee set
By Shirley J. Keller
The Huron County tax review
committee has been reactivated
but the makeup of the member-
ship is in doubt.
A recommendation came to
Huron County Council last
Friday from the executive
committee suggesting the
following appointees: Charles
Thomas, chairman; Gerry Ginn,
Cecil Desjardine, Joseph Kerr
Frank Cook, Anson McKinley'
as members: and Roy V. Pattison
Warden as an official member.
However, some concern was
felt that the rural areas were
getting too much representation
on the committee as only two
urban members were included
i
1
on the list. The matter will be
reviewed once more by the
committee to adjust committee
membership.
The year-end report of the Socia] •
Services Committee showed that
14 municipalities in Huron County
spent less on welfare in 1972 under
the county welfare scheme in-
augurated last January,
These municipalities are Howick,
Hullett, Stanley, Stephen, -Tucker-
smith, Turnberry, Usborne, East
Wawanosh, Exeter, Seaforth,
Wingham, Brussels, Hensall and
Zurich.
Total expenditures for welfare
assistance in Huron for 1972 was
' $231, 546.46. In 1971 it was
$289, 829, 05.

BY HELEN ALLEN
THE TORONTO NE SYNDICATE
Slandinl; straight and tall in his new crocheted snit is Davey,
almost two years old. Ile is an Ojibwa), Indian child with big
• brown ryas, black hair and dark skin.
Davey is sturdy; boisterous and very active, apparently in
excellent health. But he has a rare hereditary condition, Von
Recklinghausen's disease, which is characterized by .smooth '
coffee -colored spots on face, chest, arms and legs. It has no
effect otherwise on,.him ut present but its .-implications are.
cinkno«n, llowever, his natural iniithcr, who has the same
disease; appears healthy and well,
At present the feeling is that Davey will not be 'academically.
minded, although he is alert and responsive to stimulation, Ile
has just discovered the telephone. and is always the first to
answer it, 11'i11; his limited vocabulary this may create "puz-
zlement at the other end, but members of his foster family
understand and chat away to him while helistens with absorbed
attention,
Davey is a vocal boy who laughs 0 lot, 'sings to himself and
dries to imitate everything said to him. An affectionate
youngster, he loves other children. Ills beguiling personality
wins friends quickly but he is timid witl► new people. Ile likes
men better than women, Ile has'a robust appetite and 'sleeps
well,
Cheerful, noise, lovable Davey needs loving parents who can
accept his medical history without alarm,
To.inqulre about adopting Davey, please write to Today's

- Scanlon; Charles Thomas, Jack
Turkheim, H.E.- Wild and R.
Williamson.
Absent when the vote was taken
were Cal Horton and Harold Lobb.
Mrs, 'Helen Jermyn, deputy...
reeve of Exeter, claimed she was
very impressed by a presentation
earlier in the day by Prof, John
Hart -on of Kitchener.- She said
it was a "Very crucial time" for
Huron County and said she "feared
that by pulling out now, we may
be stepping backward".
_ She urged county council to join
MDC for 1973, to give the council
additional support and help them
"but more pressure on Toronto".
Jack McCutcheon echoed her
sentitnents.
!,Who goes to court these days •
without a defence lawyer?" asked
McCutcheon, He said that Huron
has spent. a great deal of money
in MDC- over the past 'few years .
and would' be "throwing that
money away" if it didn't support
MDC now andjet.,the council -
speak for Huron in Toronto, -
Mccutcheon suggested County
Council make it absolutely clear
to MCD what the county wanted
for the future'Of Huron. He said
that if Huron didn't support MDC
in 1973, it might well "kick
in the sponge and say, wellpro-
vincial government, with us,"
Cirvin Reed warned council that
while membership in MDC for
1973 would cost $9, 300, council
could_ well "pay more than 9300
bucks,if you lose Walter Cowing
and John Horton as spokesman for
the County of Huron". - . -
Ed. Oddleifson, a member of
MDC last year, said that "MDC
is a vehicle which we require for
a continued channel through -
which we can express our own
autonomy to the government
regardless ofwhether the govern-
ment
supports them by a grant
or not".
Oddleifson said Huron should
continue, in MDC, until the
governmen comes down,With,a
plan the county can support,
"If we don't agree, MDC is
the vehicle to express 'air_ disagree,
ment," said Oddleifson. "I
implore you not to throw MDC
out the window until the govern-
ment has proven it has something
better."
Ken McMichael, chairman of
the development committee of
county council, said that in his

"It is important to speak to
government in the strongest

"Instead of speaking as Huron we
should be speaking together with
our neighboring counties. It
carried a little more weight.

The Huron County Health
Unit has started a special
screening programme for pre-
school children. The test is
designed to find specific areas
where a child may need extra
encouragement and guidance.
It is not an intelligence test.
The child is asked to perform
various tasks. The tasks vary
according to age. In some •
cases, the nurse will ask the
mother questions such as, "Does
he wash and dry his hands?"
Perhaps the child may be asked
if he can kick a ball foreword.
The hope is that with such
a screening test, guidance can
be given to the parents.
Perhaps the parents should
read' to the child moreso that
the child will be able to under-
stand meanings of words.
Perhaps the child needs toys
that use his fingers, perhaps
the preschooler needs to spend
some time away from his
mother to prepare him for
school. The test itself takes
about 20 minutes.
These tests are carried out
at each Child Health Clinic
and appointments should be
'made to avoid endless waiting.
If you are interested in having
your child screened or for any
information, please call the
Huron County Health Unit at
Phillip Street
We must deal more directly with
the provirce.

Elston. "I don't know whether

Earlier in the day, Professor
John Horton along with MDC
director, Walter Cowing and Jim
Hayter, past president of MDC,
made a presentation to county
council. At that time, Professor
Horton urged County council to
give serious consideration to
rejoining MDC for another year

Farmers given firm advice
about advice firm
An advisory notice was issued
to members of the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture
meeting in Clinton Thursday
night about a consulting firm
now doing business in Western
Ontario.
The advisory said the firin
in question is signing contracts
with farmers for $300 per year
for up to three years on a con-
sultation basis. The consulta-
tion included, Bill Crawford,
Huron County fieldman said,
many services which are pro-
vided free by the OntarioMin-
istry of Agriculture and Food.
He said investigation had not
proved the firm was dishonest -
but it was felt the farmers-,
should be made aware of the
fact that many of the services
offered could be obtained'free
elsewhere. He said there was
no evidence the firm was op-
erating in Huron at the present
time.
Harvey Davis, guest speaker
at the meeting commented that
it just proved that many firms .
had found out over the years
that there is more profit in
farming the farmer than in
farming.

this off with a game of rugger
in the mess, And by the time this
ended, it was a mess indeed,
For some reason, the C.O.
was not amused, when he sur-
veyed the mess in the morning.
Surly old coot, It cost about
twenty of us ten quid each to
redecorate the officers' mess.
Ah, dear, Nowadays they'd
call it flagrant vandalism. and
sock the taxpayer for the dam-
ages, In those days, it was high
spirits, and we paid the shot our-
selves.
Or, Mr, Jones, you might
mention that Wrexham had one
of the best hockey teams in -Eng-
land, We were about eighty,per
centCanadian,with several hock-
ey players of Jr, A. calibre. Our
C.O., an Englishman, had lived
in Canada and loved the game.
We won every game, except the
crucial last one. Our goalie hit
the ice with about twelve pints
of bitter in him. He was out-
standing. Every time the oppos-
ing team shot, he'd stop two of
the three pucks he saw, but miss
the third. Score, 14.2.
And a happy Valentine's Day
to all.

PC. I6, THE BLYTH STANDAR
Feb, ,7, 1973,
B ,hJn t the scenes
by KEITH ROULSTON
Sitting listening to the proceed
Ings at the 20th annual meet-
ing of the Belgrave Credit Union
the other night, I began thinkin
just how much of our poor econ-
omic situation in this part of the
country we could blame on our-
selves.
We so often feel we are the
victims of circumstances here in
Huron County. We are close
enough to the city to have many
of our people go there for their ,
shopping or other services, in-
stead of depending on home-
grown services, yet were tar'en-
ough away that we don't benefit
from their growth,
Governments are busy spending
our tax money to help keep the
cities growing and in the process
helping to prevent us from have-
ing a fair chance to lure business
and industry here,
Sure, we have a lot to beef
about. But what good does beef-
ing do? I was thinking of the
community of Belgrave, a
community that certainly hasn't
had many favours from govern-
ment, has no big industry or big
business, yet has succeeded
because of the activism of its
residents, in becoming a strong
community,
How many places the size of
Belgrave, for instance, have an
arena? How many have a large
farming business like the Belgrave
Co-op? How many have their
own financial institution?
The Belgrave Co-op is a bus-
iness that does over a half
million dollars a year in business
making it one of the largest
agri-businesses around. It helps
make Belgrave a centre for
farm trade in the surrounding
area, It provides services need-
ed by the local farmers. And,
it is the direct result of the
people in the Belgrave area
taking action to get what they
thought was needed,
The Belgrave arena has prov-
• idea many hours of enjoyment
for people of the area and some
darn good hockey teams too.
It is the result of hard work and
community spirit that not only
saw it built in the first place,
but rebuilt several years later,
And there is the Credit Union.
It is an example of the people
of the Belgrave area seeing more
sense in putting their savings to
work in the community rather
than to help make some Toronto
or Montreal-based banking
company 'richer. Their savings
not only earn them a good re-
turn, but help others in the area,
farmers, businessmen etc. to
improve their lot through low
cost loans. Again, it is a case
of community action being used
to provide services to the comm- a
unity that would otherwise have D
to do without,
There are few communities S
left like Belgrave, it seems to h
me, that have the kind of pion- C
eer spirit that helped build this W
country. Most people in most v
communities Would rather go
limp at the first sign of hard work
ar an obstacle that maybe hard •
to surmount.
That pioneetspirit one time was
g apparent in all communities but
! somehow it died a few years back
and only comes to life again in a
few communities at certain time
We have had that kind of spirit -
here in Blyth in recent years with
such projects as financing artifi-
tial ice for the arena and repaint
ing Memorial Hall. -But even at
such -times, there have been man
who would rather sit back and
scoff at the attempts of a few
Ihard-working individuals than
bend their back or put their mind
to work to help the community,
Community spirit is one of our
most precious posessions in small
communities. Community action
is one of the few advantages we,
have economically over larger
centres. Where they must pay
thousands or millions to make a
project work, we can, through -
use of our own hands and minds,
achieve the same results for a
fraction of the cost. Such action
is the way for us to make our
communities good places to
live, with the facilities of a city
but without the problems of
crowding, pollution and rampant
crime,
Why don't we make more use -
of our resources? Why, I wonder -
don't mcre comiunities such -
as Blyth itself, have credit
unions? Why, when we have
need of someone to undertake •
development projects to improve
the community, don't we have a
group of citizens who have money
to invest forming a development
company (such as has been done ,
elsewhere) so that we can have
more housing and commercial
interests in the village? -Why,
when we have the'potential for
more business places in the
village, don't we go out and
fight like heck to get them?
Belgrave may not be the mcst
important place in the world
from the viewpoint of big cities;
it's community actions may not
be the biggest projects going, .
but everyone, no matter where -
they live could take a lesson from
what the people of Belgrave have
done for themselves. We in
Blyth should especially watch
closely.
