Carroll sltcs uotcr
ErUSiraIiofl as 1$$UO
Wednesday, February 14,: 1973,
Paul Catro11, 28 year old Goderich school teacher was
acclaimed Monday night New Democratic Party candidate
in the March 15 by-election in Huron riding.
Mr, Carroll was the party's candidate in the last election
when incumbent Charles MacNaughton swept back to power
in a Conservative sweep of ,the province,
His' nominat or, Sandy Profit of Goderich pointed out that
Mr. Carroll's showing when he accumulated nearly 20 per
cent of the popular vote was the best in history for the party
in Huron. Mr. Carroll finished a close third behind Liberal
candidate . Kenneth Duncan with 3427 votes compared to
3651 for Mr, Duncan. In the 1967 election the NDP in Huron
gained only 1340.
Mr. Carroll called himself a -community activist. He said
he had remained with the NDP although some people had
tried to intimate after the last election that he was going
to switch his allegiance to another party where he might
have better chances of success,
The Conservatives, he said, claim there are no issues
in the election. "There are issues", he said and said Bill
Davis and his "autocratic way of rule" is one of the issues.
He said Mr. Davis is only willing to listen to the people
after he has been embarrassed into listening such as in the
Fidinam affair.
He said an issue in the election is frustration, the frustra-
tion of people over the immense distance they find between
themselves and the legislators. "The llarriers of distance
between the people and this government must be removed".
By putting another NDP member in the legislature, he
said,. "We can strengthen our position against growing cent-
ralization".
Theatre wiring needs
only minor repairs
Despite worries about need
for a complete rewiring of
Blyth Memorial Hall theatre,
the cost of wiring improvements
will come to only, a "couple'
of hundred dollars" according
to Blyth Councillor Bill Howson.
Contacted by The Standard
on Tuesday, Mr. Howson said
he had accompanied the wiring
inspector from Ontario Hydro
last week when he inspected
the wiring system in the hall
and the wiring was given a
clean bill of health except for
a few changes.
A new pan4 will be needed,
Mr. Howson said and the rest
of the system \teeds "house-

E�IIoriaIs
Emotion hampers
good judgement
Lack of knowledge, incorrect deduction and unreasoning
fear are contributing to a hysterical outbreak in Canada on a
number of emotional issues.
One of the biggest targetsofhysteri l recentlyhasbeen
the
bail reform act of the federal government. The act is meant
to make sure that you and I, the ordinary joes of the country
will have the same breaks as the rich should we ever be
arrested, Under the old bail system, a rich man could buy
his way out of jail for minor offenses before the jail doors
even clanged shut, The poor man would be there until
some friend came along with enoughmoney to bail hint
out. If he had no affluent friend, he might rot in jail
until his case came to trial, It meant an innocent poor
man could spend more time in jail waiting for his trial
than a guilty rich one could after he was sentenced.
The new law enables police to grant bail to anyone
arrested on a minor charge if they feel he or she is not
dangerous to society. That is the hitch that most critics
of the new system ignore. If people who are dangerous
to society are running around through the new bail system
(as some claim), then it is the police who are at fault,
not the legislation, Many people who criticize the law
either don't know it or ignore the facts.
Much the same applies to capital punishment. After
the killing of two policemen in Toronto, the cry arose for
a renewal of capital punishment. People point out that
the crime rate has risen since the abolition of hanging
five years ago. Given such facts, those supporting the
retention of hanging seem to have a good argument. But
look closer and the argument falls apart, Many if not
most states in the United States still have capital punish-
ment. Yet the U.S. in the last five years has gone
through the worst period of crime in its history.
The truth of the matter is that capital punishment
doesn't seem to matter one way or the other as far as
deterring crime goes, It would be nice to have an easy
solution like bringing back hanging and have all the crime
go away. But there is no simple solution. The problem of
growing crime goes deeper than the law. It goes right back,
to the home and the schools, Hanging is•no solution to
these problems.
Children need spanking
If you had children who behaved like our political leaders
in Canada have been in the past few months, you probably
would give them a good spanking. Too bad we couldn't
turn the politicians over our knee too.
The way the "honorable' Members of Parliament have been
behaving since Parliament reconvened in January it snakes.
one winder who he could honestly vote for if an election
came tomorrow,
Growing economic problems in Canada have made it obvious
that the Liberal government is on its last legs. It matters
not whether the problems are their fault or whether anyone
else could do any better, the Canadian people are looking
for a scape goat, someone they can conveniently blame.
Canadians are notorious for looking for. an easy solution for
a difficult problem. Now they seem to think kicking out
the government will solve all their problems, just as in
1968 they thought voting Trudeau in would solve all their
problems.
We find it hard, on the other hand, to take much more
of Mr. Stanfield and his bunch of political hatchet men who
have not even made an attempt to make us think they are
willing to co-operate if good legislation is brought in. One
can see some justice in their attacking Trudeau but political
greed seems to be going too deeply when they began last •
week launching constant barrages at John Turner because he
is heir apparent to the Liberal leadership if and when Trudeau
goes. One could hardly call Stanfield a "responsible" alter-
native. He has prostituted to respect many of us had for
him through his unreasonable haste for power.
That leaves the NDP who under David Lewis often seem to
be the only sane people in Parliament these days, They
are under heavy and often filthy fire from the Conservatives
every day yet so far have kept their heads. Yet, come
election time, many Canadians will hesitate to cast a vote
for them because they still do not know what they are
getting if the NDP comes to government.
It leaves the voters with a bleak outlook when the inevitable
election comes and'may see a good many throwing up their
hands in horror and staying home with their knitting.
Come to think, knitting may do more good for the country
than electing more children to Parliament.

Behin.flthe.Scen es
A week ago Sunday, that
beautiful February day that
looked more like mid April, a
few people saw some nut out
wandering around the back
streets and vacant lots of Blyth.
It was me. •
I saw a few others out for a
walk that same day, but mighty
few. It seems we people in
small towns have an aversion to
walking.
I remember before I ever
really saw the city I used to be
like most rural people and be-
lieve that we in the rural areas
were strong and healthy because
of the clean air and exercise we
got while city people were pasty
coloured, week -kneed coughers
because they got no exercise
and breathed filthy air. Well,
when I moved to the city I
learned that they may breathe
filthy air, but they certainly
don't do without exercise.
We get the impression that
city people live in apartments
or houses with small lots so
neverget exercise at home. At
work, they sit at a desk or work
at an office or in some mech-
anical factory job. And, to
some degree that's right. But
we forget that city people have
to get from home to work and
back again. That's where the
exercise is.
Anyone who has ever driven a
car in a city like Toronto knows
that even riding somewhere can
mean a lot of walking, No
matter how lucky you are find-
ing a parking space (which will
always cost about half as much
as your car is worth) you will
still have to walk two blocks or
more to where you are going.
Well then, why not take the bus?
Well, buses only stop every few
blocks so it rneara a walk of
several blocks to or from the bus
stop. Subway? Veil on the
average the subway stops are
about a mile apart.
The other part of the myth, of
course, is that small towners
walk. They don't. With a
few exceptions, small towners
hardly know how to use their
legs except to go out the back
door and into the car. They
will take the car even if it
means warming it up'for several
minutes in winter rather than
walk two blocks to the pest
office.
To tell the truth, I never
really walked much in my life
until I moved to the city. Park-
ing is so easy to find and so
inexpensive in small towns that
everyone just jumps in the car
to go anywhere.
In the city, however, a car is
a colosal headache. You first
have to have a place to keep it
when you're home. If you are
one of those lucky to own a house
you are likely okay, but if you
live in an apartment, it's likely
to cost you $15 a month ;or more
just to park it in your apartment
parking lot, Then while you
are driving you are in constant
torment that one of the fenders
flashing by in all directions will
decide to take a bite out of your
nice shiney paint job, The
chances are just about 100 per
cent that if you keep your car
over two years in Toronto you
will have an accident of some
sort or other.
Next there is the problem of
finding a parking spot and paying
for it at the high cost menioned
earlier. But even there the car
isn't safe and you ruin any good
time you may be trying to have
shopping or at a show, by wond-
ering what stupid clod may be
putting a nice scratch down the
entire side of`your car in the
parking lot,
The solutions of course is to
leave the car at home and walk.
And to ane it was like discovering
something wonderful, the free-
dom and pleasure of it all, The
chance to travel without the
noise of a car engine always
pushing sensations, The chance
to feel the wind in your face
cr smell the leaves.
We in small towns have been
cheating ourselves by using cars
for all our travel. We seem to
be like farmers who are so used
to the countryside around them
that they don't realize how
beautiful it is until some city
dweller comes along to point it
out. We just aren't enjoying one
of the greatest benefits of country
living, the chance to go for a
walk in fresh air without the
constant noise of city traffic.
You know I often think every-
one who grows up in a rural
area should be forced to go to
live in the city for two years
at the completion of high school
so they will get to know just
how wonderful life in the country
is.... so they will. be; full of.;
appreciation for their rural
advantages for the rest of their
life instead of taking them for
granted.

Scholarships
back
Education Minister Thomas
Wells announced last week that
the Ontario Government will this
year award $100 to all Ontario
Scholars,
In re -instituting the monetary
award for Ontario Scholarship
winners, Mr. Wells said that the
Government had originally in-
tended to divert these funds into
programs which would provide
more financial aid for the gener-
al student awards program.
Speaking to the Ontario Second-
ary School Headmasters Council,
he said it had become evident
that the full significance of the
financial part of the Ontario
Scholarship awards had been
underestimated, both as a recog-
nition of achievement and
excellence, and as an incent-
ive to our young people.
"We have listened to what we
believe is a majority expression
of opinion, and we are acting
upon that expression of opinion,"
he said.
"The Ontario scholarships --
will retain the significance
which they have always had for
our high school students, and
assist then in launching their
post -secondary studies.
Ontario Scholarships are award-
ed to those secondary school
students who attain their Honour
Graduation diploma with an
average of 80 per cent or better.

plunged into ice cold water and
the rapid paralizing effect on the

overpowering weight of heavy,
water -soaked, winter clothing
and you complete the fatal
combination.
The obvious danger periods
are most certainly at the begin-
ning and end of the season or
during prolonged periods of
milder weather, - However,
other factors also influence
the thickness, quality and the -
presence of ice; fast moving
current, underground springs, -
pressure cracks and the separa-
tion of ice fields, There can
never be any period of guaran-
teed safety.
The O,P.P. urge the drivers

utmost of caution when driving

And, hopefully you to us if you're thinking
about a loan.
Now, the person you'll see at our place
isn't some kind of financial ogre. He won't
try td put you down, stare you down, or
check the heels on your shoes. But most
important, he wants to give you that loan,
That's one of the ways he makes his money.
So you just tell him how much, how
much you can afford each month, then it's
up to him to work it out.
And without getting you in over your
head. And, that's it.
No red tape. No
edge about asking.
You see, we feel two heads are better
than one. We figure'if two people set out
to achieve goals, they might come a little
easier. Your goals, and our goals. So with
a Commerce Bankplan loan, you get more
than money.You get a working partnership
for achieving goals.
And that gives us still another edge
over other banks. Besides taking the edge
off asking in the first place.
To start with, let's set something
straight. We're in the money busi-
ness.We invest money to make
money, so that we can lend money,
It's that simple, But, all of it isn't
worth a plugged nickel if some-
one doesn't use it.
Which brings us to you.

PG.4. THE BLYTH STANDARD, Feb, 14, 1973,
Donations to Canadian Bible Society show an increase in 1972
Just over half of the Com-
munities in Western Ontario in-
creased their givings to the -
Canadian Bible Society last year.
The London office, which is
responsible for Bible Society work
in Western Ontario reports this
week that 84 of the 162 branches
of the Society in its Western
Onterio District showed increases
two were the same and 76 showed
decreases in 1972 over the 1971 '
figures.
The society is indeed grateful
fa the contribution of $1,123.76
from the people of Blyth in 1972
to the World wide work of pro-
viding scriptures. This is up
considerably over last year's
$489.10. -
Walton also increased the amount
of money raised this year from $60
to $317.50 this year. And Lond-
esboro increased from $80 to
$230.80. Belgrave also showed
an increase from $326. to $397.35
• Auburn was the only local area
to fall below last year's total
and that was by.only a few
dollars, $451,07 to last year's
$463.07.
Donations in this area to the
Work of the Canadian Bible
Socefty showed an over-all in-
crease of about 5 per cent for
a total of $105, 324 in 1972 as
against $100,880 in 1971. This -
did not include money contributed

DID HE EVER COME BACK?
by Rev H. W. Kroeze
In last week's article we stated that quitters like Demas have
been around for a long time and, of course, every one who
contends for the historic Christian faith knows from heart-
breaking experience that they are with us today also,
Followers like Demas come a dime a dozen
Jesus Himself knew what it meant to be forsaken by the
quitters. "Upon this", John reports, "many of his disciples
went back, and walked no more with him. Jesus said
therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also. go away?"
(John 6:66). Betrayed by Judas, denied by Peter, and.
forsaken by the whole band of His disciples, as the Man of
Sorrows our Lord was engulfed by an agony of loneliness
greater than mortal tongue can ever tell.
It was no less a leader than the Apostle Paul on whom
Demas of the New Testament had turned his back. If this
was the lot of one so outstanding and illustrious as Paul,
lesser lights should then not think it strange if they have the
same experience.
No longer willing to share the reproach of Paul bound by a
chain in a Roman prison, Demas succumbed to the lure of
"this present world" and became a quitter. This act of
perfidy could hardly have been directed against a greater man
in the service of his Lord than Paul, and why then should
other contenders for the faith think that this could not
happen to them? Deceived by his wrong sense of values,
Demas was blind to o the true greatness of Paul. "The grand old
missionary stands out in history as a matchless example of
Christian living, a sure guide in Christian doctrine. No more
favored mortal is ever likely to appear; he is the counterpart
of Moses as a divine teacher to all generations" (John Lord,
"Beacon Lights of History").
Paul was the most prominent figure of all the great men
who have advanced the interest of the Christian Church.
Demas was so near to true greatness, but with his faulty
vision he failed to see it.
Paul's cruel chain and wretched prison life repelled Demas
so that one day he headed for Thessalonica and left his
leader in the lurch. And the saddest thing of all is that we
have no reason to believe he ever came back...,
The name of Demas the quitter stands on the sacred page ,as
a warning for all the world, and especially for all who profess
to be followers of Christ.

strange place and unfamiliar ventures.
Most members of your sign will be put to test.
An ultimatum, in one form or another, is likely;
especially at your home base. So, fulfill your
obligations without emotionalism.
It's not time to romp and roar with your mate

and people are very similar.
• For instance both ,species are
greedy, often quarrelsome and
intolerant of one another, etc,
Now researchers at the Univer-
sity of Missouri (Columbia) find
that they are also like humans
in that they will voluntary
drink alcoholic beverages and
the male is likely to be drunk
more often than his female
counterpart, They can also
have diabetes and are studied
for body changes that accom-
pany old age.

You townsfolk must be think-
ing that farmers are getting
rich with all the high prices
for meat and eggs, but brother,
you should see the feedbills,
Corn is up from $40 per
ton to $65 (62, per cent), soy-
, abeanmeal, .which 'makes up
20 per cent of most rations,
is up from $98 to $210 per ton
(110 per cent), So it will take
the egg and pork producer
still a ,long time to recover
from the disastrous prices of
1970 and 1971..
As for beef and hog feeders
the price of their replacement
stock has doubled too in those
last few years. So folks if you
envy us, don't do so because
we are getting rich, we ain't,
but do so because we breath
fresh air for the same cost as
last year.

Most people never flew in
an airplane and some never
will, but a bunch of hogs
flew the Pacific last year to
Japan. Don't be envious though,
for they flew in the form of
frozen pork. Burns packers sent
40 tons of it to test the market.

Make those
roses last
Rases have always been one
of the most popular cut flowers
for Valentine's Day. With the
great demand at this time of
year, Ontario's greenhouse rose
growers make every possible
effort to schedule their crop to
provide enough cut roses, says
John Hughes, horticultural
specialist, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
Plant breeders have developed
a complete range of colors and
varieties with red roses still the
most popular.
To ensure that your roses will
last as long as possible, as soon
as you receive them, cut about
one inch off the bottom of the
stems. The cut should be
straight and clean. Roses need
plenty of cool, fresh water.
Change the water every day to
prolong their beauty. Placing
the flowers in a cool place at
night will also help.
If some of the flowers wilt
after a few hours in water,
place the wilted roses in warm
water. Hold the stems under
the water and cut off an add-
itional inch from the stems.
Then return them to the bouquet.
Talk about inflation. During
the Klondike gold rush of 1898
men paid five dollars for an onion
and $15 for an old newspaper
stained with bacon grease which
was used as a substitute for
window glass.

THE TORONTO gam SYNDICATE
READY FORA FAMILY
Donny looks like a merry little soul and much of the time he is,
A lot of illness In his 14 months tested his temperament as he
was in and out of hospital for treatment and tests, and of course,
this delayed his opportunity for adoption. Now some of his
troubles are over and others are dismissed as minor so the
Children's Aid Society feels he is ready to become part of a
fancily.
Anglo-Saxon in descent, Donny is an appealing baby with
beautiful reddish -blond curly hair, big brown eyes and a
delightful smile that shows at least some of his six teeth.
When Donny feels well, he is a happy, contented cuddly boy
who laughs a lot and lodes to hear his own voice squealing. He
enjoys other children and is fascinated by small babies.
Donny has developed more slowly than norrnal and is func-
tioning from two to five months below his age. This pattern is
expected to continue,
Ilis left arm and leg do not appear to be growing as fast as the
right. Otherwise they are normal and the difference is barely
noticeable. Ile may need surgery later on his left foot hut this
will not be known for a year,
Donny has had a number of infections and has been tested for
hydrocephalus (build-up of fluid inside the skull). There is no
evidence of this but he is to have regular checks for a time —
just in case.
Donny's problems do not mean that he requires more care
than a normal, healthy child, but he does love attention. Ile eats
and sleeps well and is on a regular diet. Ile can entertain himself
hut prefers to have company,
Ileart-touching Donny needs parents who can take his medical
history in their stride and whose academic expectations are not
high.
To inquire about adopting Donny, please write to Today's
Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption in-
formation, please contact your local Children's Aid Society.

ing the sing song period, every-

As many a sage has
remarked, man is a curious
animal, He is the only
species that will kill others
of his own type in either hot
or cold.blood, And he is the
only animal, including,the
much -maligned hog, that will
eat anything and drink practi-
cally anything,
Carnivores eat meat, Her-
bivores eat herbs, A few
species like to vary the diet
with some nice, ripe carrion.
But man will eat anything
that grows, walks, swims or
flies, including himself, if
he's hungry enough,
Thus we have a prolifera-=
tion of such delicacies as seal
flippers, cod's tongue,
canned • snake, fried
grasshoppers, frogs' legs,
bees and ants in chocolate.
What other species could ,
stomach birds' nest soup or
year-old eggs? Not to men-
tion haggis.
Prince Hamlet said:
"What a piece of work is
man! how infinite 111
Acuities! inform and moving
how express and admirable!
in action /ww like an angel,
in apprehension how like a
god! the beauty of the world!
the paragon of animals!"
What a piece of work
indeed! Man will eat any-
thing from guts to nuts,
For many, there's nothing
tastier than fried liver, baked
stuffed heart, kidney pie and
--- almost unbelievable —
tripe, that exotic dish made
from the lining of a cow's
stomach. It's not hard to
figure out where the expres-
sion "That's a lot of tripe"
came from,
Those are just a few
categories in the guts depart-
ment, At the other end of the
' scale, among the nuts, are
such things as hickory,
hazel, chest, wal, pea and
sweetbreads,
No self-respecting goat
iwould eat and drink some of
the things the "paragon of
animals" stuffs into his
quivering, reluctant
stomach, Dill pickles, kip-
pered herring, cold tongue,
hot curry, Never mind the
juice of fermented grapes,
and cheese crawling with
maggots. No wonder we
smell peculiar to other ani-
mals, Ever noticed how dogs
and cats sniff us and walk
away with a disgusted look?
How cavalierly we treat
those long-suffering
stomachs, of which we are
issued only one for the
duration,
Breakfast. What a way to
start a day! A glass of icy
orange juice, followed by
scalding coffee. Then some
cereal, the rougher the
better. Then a few slices off
a pig's bum, accompanied by
a couple of hens' children.
Toss is a couple of vitamin

When I was in prison
camp, there were rats about,
The Germans kept quite a
few cats around to control
the rat population, One day
the camp commander, who
had a sense of humour,
posted a notice in each bar-
racks: "Anybody caught eat-
ing long-tailed rabbits will be
severly punished." Ybp, The
boys were eating the cats.
The French have horse -
meat butcher shops. Some
Asians consider there's
nothing sweeter than boiled,
baked or fried dog, Some
Arabian tribes cook a whole
sheep, and the most succu-
lent part of the meal is suck-
ing out the eyes. An Eastern
version of oysters on the
half -shell,
Of course, Canadians
would never touch such
things. We confine ourselves
to such treats as shepherds'•
pie, consisting of ground -up,
used -up shepherds, toe nails
and. all, At least they seem
like toe nails when you
crunch down on one,
This may all seem irrele-
vant to the great issues of the
day, and it is, But it's a lot

1 beganthinking of man
as guts when somebody told
me a chap had spent 32 days
or something in a cabin up
north and had survived by
eating mice, It was an intrigu-
ing thought,
Can't you see him sitting
there, drooling, as he turned
a mouse on a spit? Can you
understand him deciding to
have a cold lunch of haunch
of mouse, with a salad of pine
needles, and cedar buds,
served on birch bark? •
Can you see him munch-
ing a mouse drunstick for a
bed -time snack?
Or worrying, like any per-
plexed housewife, about
whether to have a rump roast
of mouse, or a standing rib
roast, or hot sliced mouse
tongue?
And deciding the hell with
it, he was going to splurge
tonight and have filet of
mouse! It boggles the mind,
