Robert McKinley, M.P., Murr-
ay Gaunt, M P, P, for Huron -
Bruce and,Jack Riddell, M.P.P.
for 'Huron.
The brief, presented by Doug
Fortune, second -vice-president
of the Federation of Agriculture
said 43 acres of :good farm
land is being lost every hour to
urban' development. Between
1961 and 1966 the rate had been
only. three. acres per hour.
-But- while something must be
done to• stop this trend, the
• brief said, something. must also
s. be done to help the farmers in
areas of high growth who have
been forced t� pay high taxes
:for years because of the poten-
tial worth of his property far
-development. If the farmer
can not "count on receiving _a -
high price for his land when
he sells it he should have some
king of compensation for the
taxes, the_ brief said.
,"British Columbia -.has- already
promised this compensation, .
and land • use planning will not
get the full supportof Ontario
farmers without it," the brief
said.
Mr. - Gaunt said the govern-
ment has taken the first `step
in its speech from the throne,
promising land -use controls to
protect farmland. He agreed
that .the second step should
now be taken to protect farm-
ers. He urged farm organiza-
tions such as the Federation to
really start pushing for compen-
sationand' said it would be-
come a really big issue • in the
years to come.
"There has got, to be some
form of compensation," he.
said, "Otherwise the :farmer

Mr.. McKinley noted that

popular these days, but too

it: is easy to talk 'about .plann-
ing but hard to implement
because if elected ..people do

eat boycott sign of spoiled North American consumers
washer, It might mean she won't get that fancy new Buick •
this fall and will have to put up with just another Chev, Isn't
• that too darn bad, •
Unfortunately, there are some who will have a hard time
with the increased costs, such as pensioners and others on fixed
incomes. Yet strangely, those leading the boycott don't seem
to include this group, A picture of one of the leaders in a
London newspaper last week showed her in a kitchen so well
equipped with the latest gadgets it would make any woman in
this area drool, And she can't afford the increased costs?
The boycott also proves that politicians are more interested
in listening to those who pack the most political clout than
being honest, U, S. President Nixon stepped in and put a
ceiling on meat prices, Robert Stanfield claimed the Canad-
ian government was dragging its feet because it didn't jump
too, and government officials replied giving the impression
they would if they could but didn't have the power under the
constitution, Through it all, there has been only one promin-
ent political personage who has had the guts to say what he
thinks, Eugene Whalen, Agricultural Minister in the federal
government has told consumers all along they are getting a
good bargain in food, even at the higher prices. He has re-
fused to jump on the bandwagon and try to point an accusing
finger at one part of the industry or another. He has been
honest where others have not,
• We in a small community know the farmer is just now
getting an even break. We can see too that the local food
merchants aren't driving cadillacs and in many ways have
been hurt by high prices, If people at both ends of the chain
are hurting, is it reasonable to think that somebody in the
middle is making a killing, Perhaps, but not likely. {
What we need is more honest politicians like Mr, Whelan to
tell the consumer that it's time she stopped getting a free ride
on the back Of farmers. If action is not taken soon, there will
be no farm industry left as farmers leave the land at a rate of
80 a day. Eventually the consumer will have to pay up for
this stupid little temper tantrum, but it may be too late for
the family farm and, for that matter, small towns as well,
If.the consumer boycott being promoted throughout Canada
and the United States this week works, it will be a sad day for
Canada.
The urban housewives of ,the continent have shown them-
selves to. be spoiled children on the subject of meat prices, -
Unfortunately, they are too old to get the spanking they deserve,
One militant housewife speaking.to'a-meeting in the U.S.
last week said the women were DEMANDING a roll -back of 15
per cent on the cost of all red meats. Would the lady be
willing to take a roll -back of 15 per cent in the wage her hus-
band earns? You bet your britches not,
Statistics Canada shows that since 1961 average weekly
salaries and wages have risen to 195 per cent of the old mark.
Food prices are only 145 per cent of the old mark. In other
words, wages are rising far faster than the cost of eating. Mean•
while the cost of living index stands at 142 (142 per cent of the
196.2 figure). Farm cost increases are almost exactly the same
• at 141.9. Yet farm prices index stands at only 132.7. In
other wads, the farmer is losing ground rapidly in his battle to -
keep up with rising costs and is nearly 60 index points behind ,
the average salary. And remember that since the index is a
percentage basis, the ayerage wage earner gained more accord-
ingly because he had mbre to start with (150 per cent increase
of $100-a week is an increase of $50 a week while a 150 per
cent increase on a $50 a week wage is only $25).
F armers h ave h ad to sit idly by while everyone else has been
in there gouging everything they could out of the economy, ,
Unions got huge hikes, Doctors raised their rates, Businessm_en
showed their highest profits ever, Farmers went broke at an
• ever increasing rate.
Now, for the, first time in 20 years, the farmer is getting a
little of what he deserved. For many who went broke on the
poor pricesthe high prices came too late, but for others they
came just in time.
But instead of accepting the increases as part of the whole -
cycle, the housewife has gone on the rampage. Afterall, the
increases might mean a few cents a week taken out of her .
saving for a vacation in Europe this summer or a new dish-

Speaking in London on the weekend, Opposition Leader
Robert Stanfield predicted the next election will be strictly a
two-party affair, He said that•with the way the New Democrats
have acted in the House since the last election in supporting
the Liberals, they would lose most of the support they gained
in the last election,
On the other hand, they may not: People may appreciate
that the NDP has shown restraint and common sense in the.last
few months, something Mr. Stanfield has not had in abundance.
Even David Lewis who has often in the past looked like a little
Tiger in his attacks on both the major parties, has begun to
look like a man who cares about his country. Certainly, the
NDP has compromised on some issues they previously held
sacred, but it may win them more than it lost, People have
.been afraid in the past that the party if it ever reached power
would not be able to compromise and would ram through its . •
legislation come hell or high water. Now they know better.
Certainly, there may have been some alterior motives in
the NDP support of the Liberals. They probably are not in the
'best condition to fight an election right now and would prefer
time to rebuild their bank account.
Still, it remains that while opposing the government on some! '
points it feels necessary and pressuring the government into
policy changes in other areas, it has not been wielding a. knife
at anything that moves in the hope that one thrust will connect
and kill the government.
It you'd make one feel more comfortable if Mr. Stanfield
had shown some of the same restraint.
When you are six years old,
almost seven, the world is a
terrifying place. That's true.
I can remember a little of what
it was like myself. I can recall
that I believed my mother enjoy-
ed beating me, that she hoped
I would do things wrong so I'd
get in trouble and make it neces-
sary for her to beat me and that
she loved to make me cry.
Now that I'm a mother, I
know, of course, that's far from
the truth. But I haven't found a
way to get that across to my chi-
ldren. I'm convinced they be-
lieve I get extreme pleasure from
making them unhappy.
Fcr the past week, off and on,
I've been visiting my youngest •
son's school to meet with his tea-
chers. I've talked with his pri-
ncipal, with his class -room tea-
cher, with his speech teacher.
There's nothing particularly
wrong. I guess one could say it
is absolutely routine.... but I
can't seem to convince my you-
ngest child of this.
He's sure I've been conspiring
with the teacher to make things
rough for him . , .. and the poor
child is on the verge of tears
this week every time I mention
school.

from my Wf�dow
I promised his teacher I'd
have a little heart-to-heart
with my son. Nothing unusual •
about that. I told her I'd exp-
lain to him - or try to explain -
some of the reasons for listening
in class and keeping busjr until
the other children are finished
their work and keeping one's
thoughts to one's self until it is
recess.
So tonight while we were wa-
iting for dinner to finish cooking,
I took my youngest son aside for
a little chat.
At the first mention of school,
he tightened.
"You have a nice,bright class-
room," I began, hoping to ca-
tch him off his guard. "You
and your friends do some lovely
art work."
He nodded, but his eyes show-
ed he was concerned about my
real purpose for the talk, He
wasn't fooled by my approach.
"I think your teacher likes
you as much as you like her,"
I continued, watching closely
for any signs of relaxation. There
were none.
"She told me you like to
work on projects all by yourself,"
I said work is happily," .... after your
1 done, of course."

"Yeah, " he'said, still suspi-
cious.
"What do you like to do best
when you work alone?" I asked,
tying to get some participation
in this up to now one-sided con-
versation.
"Read. But there's no good
books," came the terse reply.
"What kind of books would
you like to read?" I asked,
thinking now I was getting some-
where.
"Hockey books," he answered.
"Yourteacher toldme yous

)
I said. Is that true?"
"Yep," he grunted.
"She says you like to make up
your own questions, too," I
smiled enthusiastically.
"Yep," he said. I waited.
"But I wish I had a book with
some real questions in - lots of
questions like they do." He
pointed to the diningroom table
where my two teenagers were
doing their homework.
"You mean you really want to
do more school work?" I asked,
hardly able to believe my ears.
Big tears welled up in his blue
eyes. He nodded his head, un-
able to speak.
Then he composed himself,
"And I want to have big books
like they do," he said, waving
his hand again in the direction
of the diningroom table,
I gathered the little trembling
body into my arms and hugged
him tight. He melted against
me.
"Are you cross with me mo-
mmy?" he asked, I told him
I -wasn't,
"Is the teacher cross?" he as-
ked, I told him she wasn't,
He sighed deeply.
"Boy," he said in relief. "I
thought somebody was going to
get real mad at me. I'm glad
we had this talk mommy."

County levy not likely to increase in 1973
BY SHIRLEY J, KELLER
The Marchsession of Huron
Council was a somewhat low-
key meeting despite the fact
that several increased budgets
in the•county's various depart-
ments were presented for appr-
oval.
Although the 1973 budget has
not yet been finalized, there was
good news for county ratepayers
in the Executive Committee
report. It was stated there
is every indication there will be
no increase in county rates this
year.
As well, the report promised
that in the event the county
enters upon a building program
at the Huron -Perth Regional
Assessment office, there will
also be sufficient funds for this
purpose without any increase to
county ratepayers.
When the budget is brought in
next month it will show that
$25,000 has been set aside in
the Hospital Reserve Fund; an
employee benefit reserve; as
well as another $50,000 for the
waking capital fund.
Several proposed budgets were
approved in Thursday's session.
All are up,
The Children's Aid Society
budget is $297, 084 for 1973
with the County of Huron port-
ion $103,087. Last year's bud-
get was estimated at $291,906
and last year's County of Huron
share was estimated at $91,847
($91,678 actual).
The Planning Board budget is
up $25, 214 to $72,150. Consul-
tant fees for the study on Urban
Development in Rural Areas
(UDIRA) is one of the major
reasons accounting for an estim-
ated additional $8, 000.
•
Land -use planning
CONTINUED FROM PC.1.
Food noted that after the recent
land -use conference held in
Clinton it appeared the people
of Huron were "tuned in" on
land -use planning. '
The brief also called for
utility corridors.
"We all recognize," is said,
"the need for more services as
our population continues to
rise. These services must be
placed in well-planned, mult-
iple -use corridors •to consume
as little prime .farm land as
possible,"
A government-appointe d
board to investigate all odour
and pollution complaints in-
volving farms was also recom-
mended. Another request was
for government action to force
recycling _urban garbage rather
than using land -fill sites in
neral areas, "Urban people
must assume the cost ,of dis-
posing of, -•the garbageutliey
create, -rather than defiling
and polluting farm land with
it", the brief 'said.
Complaints about a 'long
form used by Ontario Hydro at
publicmeet ings called to dis-
cuss the future sites of power
corridors were .also laid before
the members. Mr. Fortune told
of lengthy forms which people
were given- only 12-15 minutes
to fill in. The answers, he
said, reflected more emotion
than reason on the part of those
answering the questionnaire.

The problem of declining
membership was dealt with
when Faye Ribey of R. R. 6,
Goderich, president of the
Huron County Junior Farmers
presented a brief. She stated
that though membership this
year was about even with last
year in Huron it was nearly
a third lower than in 1971.
She said there are now only .
two clubs in Huron where once
there had been five.
She cited lack of interest of
young people in returning to
the farm as a major reason
for the decline, Higher salar-
ies and shorter work weeks
were too inviting to most
people 'to be bothered staying
on the farm, she said. Al-
though membership is down• in
Huron, it is up in Ontario with
over 7000 members. The in-
crease is partly. due_- to growing
interest in.NortherrlOntario
and ' in"sever al urban` clubs,
Mr. Pullen "noted that Jun -
far Farmers make so many
opportunities available to the
members that it is a shame
more people don't join.
'the budget for the Huron -
County Library is up over
$15,000 to $193,850, The
Huron County Pioneer Museum
budget is also up by about
$4,000 to $39,000.
Man• dies
in Florida
• LEWIS TEASDALE WHITFIELD
Lewis Teasdale Whitfield, for-
mer Blyth resident holidaying in
Florida passed away suddenly in
• Highlands General Hospital at
Sebring, Florida on Thursday,
March 29, 1973 in his 78th year.
Born in Burssels, Ont. August
4, 1895, he was the son of the
late Teasdale Whitfield and his
wife, Ruth Speiran. In 1944
Mr, Whitfield, moved with his
family to Blyth from Woodbridge,
where he had conducted a plum-
bing business; and bought the
farm on the outskirts of the vil-
lage.
After farming until 1959 Mr.
and Mrs. Whitfield retired to,
the former McGowan home on
Dinsley St. where they resided
until moving to Belgrave and
their summer residence at Pike
Bay.
The funeral was conducted
from the Tasker Memorial
Chapel, Queen St., Blyth on
Monday, April 2 with the Rev.
C. Wittich officiating.
Pallbearers were Grant Spar- •
ling, Walter Oster, Alex Lague,
William Thuell, Ralph Caldwe-
ll and Elliott Somers.
F lower bearers were three
grandsons, Lonnie Whitfield,
John Watson and John Campbell
Mr. Whitfield is survived by
his wife, the former Violet
Laphane; one son Karl of Blyth;
two daughters, Mrs. Edward
Watson,• (Joan), Blyth; Mrs.
• Harold`CampbellJr.(Rose Ma-
• rie),r Sarnia; "twb sisters, Mrs.
Amelia Brown,';Belgrave and;
Mrs. ° Beatrice Cardiff of Brussels
and 12 grandchildren.
Internment was in Brussels
cemetery.
The road budget is also high-
er this year at $1,987,000, but
will be financed with the same
amount of county funds,
$738,000, Extra allotments
from the provincial government
was cited as the explanation,
This year, the province is pay-
ing 62.9 per cent of the total
road budget while the county is
picking up only 37,1 per cent.
I The budget of the Land Divi-
Ision Committee remains about the
!same as last year, made up of
$27,200 from fees and $6,000 of
county money. In this case, rev-
enue will depend upon the number
:of applications and again this
!year, the committee is expect-
ing applications from Ontario
.Hydro regarding transmission
lines which will be running from
the Bruce Nuclear Station through
the northern part of Huron.
According to the budget, 680
applications at $40 each will
total $27, 200.
The museums budget showed
that $11,200 is expected this
year in admissions and sales,
The County of Huron is expected
to add the remaining $27,800
to the budget.
Deputy -clerk Bill Hanly, act-
ing in the place of Clerk John
Barry at Thursday's meeting,
said the committee had been
"very pessimistic on the admit.
sion side",
Museum curator Ray Scatch-
mer said admission rates had '
been adjusted upward and should
result in increased revenue for
the museum. He also reminded
council that he would like to
see a souvenir stand in the mus-
eum and noted that any sales
promotion the museum had at-
tempted in the past had realized
additional profit.
It should be noted d that includ-
ed in the museum budget is
$1, 000 for maintenance at Dun-
lop Tomb where steps need to be
replaced and some masonary work
must be completed.

A delivery vehicle will also be operated out of the new Btyth

held scoreless for a period and a
half on great goal tending by
Doug Chamney. Mike Jackson
again led the scoring with three
goals while Datars, Teevins,

took 13 penalties including a
10 minute misconduct to Scott

Peewees in

Auburn And Donnybrook, United
Church, -
I am a'textual preacher, so my message is based upon
Philippians 4-7. "And the peace of God which passeth all
understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ
J',::
On every hand we witness the unparalleled confusion in this
world in which we live, The Church of Jesus Christ which is
dear to the heart of the Christian is beset and plagued with all
kinds of false doctrine, Many fads and fancies have taken the
place of sound preaching of the Ward of God, Worldiness has
crept into the church and it is becoming harder to discern the .
true from the false, This has led to confusion and is one
reason some people are seeking peace elsewhere, It is atsad
situation as we find different cults springing up all around us,
some with fantastic claims, such as God has come down to
earth and chosen certain men and given them the authority
of His Son Jesus Christ, It is interesting to note that all of
these so called leaders are dead and forgotten while the mes-
sage of Easter is that Jesus Christ is still alive, Grace and
Truth is vested in Christ and in Him alone, all that we need
to do is to ask these new religions to give us chapter and verse
to support their claims from God's inspired Word. If we as,
Christians would take the words of our text to heart,, our lives
would be so transformed that nothing could disturb our -calm.
God has promised that'His grace is sufficient and often we
fret and worry and this can make us unfit for The Master's
use, -In trouble God has promised to be our refuge and stre-
ngth. In temptation He has promised to make a way of esc- -
ape, In sickness He will make our bed, In sorrow He will
comfort these who mourn. For Salvation -He will save to the
uttermost those that come to Him in faith. For Eternity He
will provide a place for us that where He is there we may be
also,
Lent is a time for self examination of ow personal faith,
As we realize, that had there been no Bethlehem, there would
have been no Calvary, and had thee been no Calvary there
would have been no Resurrection and thus no hope of Ever-
lasting life.

Recreation
program
planned
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
Huron County will have a
children's recreation program
again this summer and the em-
phasis will be on communities
where there is no recreation
committee or recreational dir-
ector to get things underway.
According to Spence Cumm-
ings of the Development depart-
ment, it will be much the same ,
as the program carried out last
summer by Mrs. Moira Couper
except this year there will be
one co-ordinator and two student
helpers, one for the north of the,
county and one for the south.
Total cost of the program is
estimated at $6,029 with the
province picking up $'5,100 and
the county less than $1,000.
Stan Profit of Goderich told
council that while the program
is basically for children, it will
provide adults an opportunity to
get involved by helping to prov-
ide some leadership,
"That can be a recreation and
very rewarding, "" stated Profit.
Cummings said the object of
the program this year will be to
encourage recreation committees
in communities where there are
none.

for the blind
Lack of Vitamin Al is the
largest cause of blindness amo-
ngst infants in the developing
countries of Africa, Asia, and
South America. Last year, it
blinded over 10,000 babies in
India.
International organizations
for the blind appeal for immed-
late action to save a multitude
of children from a lifetime of
unnecessary blindness. Mothers
have to be taught how to select
and prepare the right food for
their children.
Country women and homemak-
ers everywhere have a major part
to play in a world effort which
experts believe could save the
sight of 100,000 children during
ye ars.

Unusual
visitor
East Wawanosh Public School
was recently entertained by an
outdoor visitor - a large crow.
It was sighted early in the noon -
hour by an observant student.
The crow was the highlight of
the noonhour and attracted ma-
ny students. Near the end of
the noon hour the watched it
glide to the field and come back
with a mouse. The crow then
flew to the corner of the school
to devour it.
That afternoon it visited
several classrooms by resting on
their window sills,

Even if you don't pay income taxes you may benefit fromithe
Ontario Government's new Property Tax Credit Plan, but you must
apply by filling in a 1972 Income Tax Return.
You'll find a special mauve claim form just for that purpose in the
1972 income tax kit. An explanation of the plan is right on the form.
The new Property Tax Credit Plan provides greater benefits for
more—the elderly, roomers, boarders,and low income families.
If you paid property taxes or rent last year, you may be eligible.
Pick up a tax return kit at any post office, if you haven't already
got one. And send in both the tax return and the mauve claim
form. But do it quickly—remember returns and claims are to be
filed by April 30th.
Your federal District Taxation Office will be glad to answer any
questions you might have.
The Ontario Property Tax Credit Plan: we thought of it, but we'd
like you to get the credit.

to get a better understanding of
human beings and their relation-
ships -have come close to every
individual in a rapidly changing
world. Distances are becoming
shorter and the problems of one
nation have a bearing upon many
!others. Great social and econ-
omic problems confront every
!woman everywhere, with the
, ensuing difficulties of harmon-
' izing home and country life.
Mrs. Pardy outlined the km-
, cture of this world-wide organ-
ization from the Branch to the
District to the Area to the Prov-
incial Federated Women's Insti-
tutes of Ontario to the National -
Federated Women's Institutes of
f
Canada and the International

ational meetings and how to con-
duct them. A question and ans-
wer period followed in which
everyone took part. She closed
the session by telling everyone
to become more aware of pres-
enting interesting meetings.

Renori from pucco's Party
BY MURRAY GAUNT, M,P,P,
(HURON -BRUCE)
This week the Throne Speech
Debate has been the highlight of
the session with Opposition Leader
Robert Nixon taking part,
Mr. Nixon said there were dev-
elopers who were getting extrem-
ely rich at the expense of the On-
tario taxpayer and singledout
G. W. Moog, President of Canada
. Square Corporation Ltd. who is
known to be a close personal fri-
end of the Premier's".
In the speech Mr. Nixon was
critical of the inadequacies of a
system where builder proposals
are accepted as against compe-
titive bidding with the contract
going to the lowest bidder every-
thing else being equal.
Mr. Nixon n cited three cases of
Companies headed by Mr. Moog
working for the Government (1)
Canada Square which is building
a new $40 million office comp-
lex for Ontario Hydro(2) Swiss
Granada Holdings which built
facilities for the Ontario Instit-
ute for Studies in Education, and
(3) Transamerica Realty which
built the' Transamerica Building
holding the Ontario Educational
Communications Authority.
Each of these contracts was ob-
tained through the proposal met-
hod.
In the case of the Hydro Office
building which is under constru-
ction, Mr, Nixon said Hydro
was leasing land valued at $7
' million to Canada Square for 30
years at $1 per year.
"During the construction per-
iod of three years Canada Square
will invest, by way of interest on
construction loans a total of about)
$6 million,
"In return Canada Square is re-
warded by a rental income of
almost $6.1 million every year
for 30 years, That's almost
$183 million in total,
On medicare Mr, Nixon pro-
posed changes. He said that do-
ctors should be allowed to bill
the Province on a fee-fcr-ser-
vice basis but there would be a
yearly limit to the amount the
Province would spend.
If the portion of the health
fund provided for physicians
becomes depleted in the last
quarter of the year only a perc-
entage of the bills would be
paid in that quarter, Mr, Nixon
said.
He continued that instead of
placing all doctors on salary, the
fee-for-service principle of pay-
ment would be continued but
with constraints.
Premier William Davis, also
taking part in the Throne Debate,
claimed that Mr. Nixon's figur-
es were not accurate and claimed
Canada Square would make a net
profit of approximately $5 mill-
ion out of the Hydro deal. '
However, Mr, Nixon issued a
rebuttal claiming that many of
the expenses of running the new
building would be assumed by
Ontario Hydro and not Canada
Square as Mr. Davis had said.
The Ontario Government will
finance the world's largest Bial-
a -bus net work in North York as
a three-year experiment to lure
suburbanites out of their cars and
onto public transit vehicles.
Ontario has agreed to pay all
capital and operating costs for
the service.
Huronview Auxiliary
plans Blossom Tea
The Huronview Ladies Auxi1-
iary met in the Craft Room -at
Huronview on March 26 at
2:00 p. m. .The president, Mrs.
Colclough presided and after we-
lcoming the members after the
winter recess opened the meet-
ing with "The Lord's Prayer"
repeated in unison.
Mrs. McGregor, supervisor of
the Craft Room introduced Mr.
Rowe, the Assistant Administr-
ator of Huronview to the mem-
bers.
Mr. Rowe said he had several
projects in mind for the ladies
to work on; the most urgent
project at the moment was the
purchase of a van -type vehicle
suitable for transporting wheel
chair residents and others to Go-
derich for treatment and therapy
rather than in private cars which
is the practice at present. After
a lengthy discussion the memb-
ers felt that a project of this
size couldn't be undertaken by
the . Auxiliary alone and it was
decided to defer any decision
until next month; and in the
meantime the members were to
contact all service clubs, frate-
rnal organizations and Women's
Institutes in their community,
explaining the handicaps and
hazards 'of the present method of
transportation and the financial
obligations of the purchase of a
van and ascertaining their will-
ingness to help and support if
it is decided to take on this pro-
ject. A full discussion will be
held and a decision will be made
at the April meeting.
The minutes of the November
Meeting were read ,and _approved.,
The treasurer's report was given
and Mrs. McGregor reported for
the Craft Room.
The Annual Blossom Tea and
Bazaar will be held on May 2
at 2:00 p. m. Final plans and
committees will be formed at
the April meeting.
Election of officers and
payment of fees will be held
at the April meeting. The
Nominating Committee will co-
nsist of members from Clinton,
There being no further busin-
ess, the meeting closed with the
mizpah benediction and refresh-
. ments were served.

PG, 14. THE BLY'r'H STANDARD, April 4, .1973,
Milk increase means
little profit for frms
producer says
Despite the latest increase
in the price of fluid milk,
farmers are still only about
where they were a year ago,
Huron County, members of Parl-
iament were told Saturday.
Ross Trewartha of Hullett
township told the members
gathered for the annual Mem-
bers of Parliament dinner and
conference sponsored by the
Federation of Agriculture, . that
the increases have been almost
entirely eaten up by feed cost
increases, especially fa high -
protein feeds.
Jack Armstrong of Auburn,
chairman of the Huron County
Milk Committee said .he
thought the consumer was get-
ting stuck in the increases. He
noted that the two increases to
the farmer in the past year
have amounted to about two
cents a quart. The price had
increased to the consumer up
to five cents. He said he did
not think that the other costs
involved in processing the
milk for consumption had risen
enough to warrant such an
increase.
"We're getting a fair price,"
he said, "but the consumer is
getting stuck."
In the milk committee's
brief, Mr. Armstrong noted
that dairy farming in Huron
is a major industry with 930
farmers deriving their living
from it.
The brief said the recent
increase to industrial milk pro-
ducers (those producing milk
fa the manufacture of butter,
cheese and skim milk) was too
low. The increase was 60
cents a hundredweight of which
20 cents is to be held back fa
export, leaving farmers with a
net increase of 40 cents. He
said the Milk Marketing Board
had requested an increase of
$1.00 per cwt. and he said if
something is not done to in-
crease return to the industrial
milk producer there will be
fewer dairy farmers in Huron.
• Several briefs, including one
delivered by Jim Williamson
of Walton, president of the .
Huron County Pork Producers
called to re-examination of
the government's decision to
drop capital gains tax on trans-
fer of the family farm to a
son at death of the father. It
was pointed out that this could
mean a son would have to
work for years for his father
until the owner died. By this
time, the son could be an
old man too.
Mr. McKinley said he had
made representation to John
Turner, minister of finance
several times on this subject.
He said he thought it was a
token gesture by Mr. Turner.
He said Eugene Whalen, Min-
ister of Agriculture is also
concerned over the present
set up and had asked that the
ca pital gains be waived
whenever a farm is transferred
from father to son.
"I've been watching over
my shoulder ever since I
heard about the change;"
Mason Bailey, chairman of the
meeting quipped. "I don't
take a chance on my sons
beingbehind my back."
:The Pork Producers also
lashed out at the removal of
a•
_ the tarriff on impart of meats
saying it puts farmers at a
disadvantage because other
countries have not lowered
their barriers too.
The Huron County Soil and
Crop Improvement Association
presented a brief that opposed
the possible location of a nuc-
lear power station in Huron
along Lake Huron. Murray
Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron -
Bruce said that he understood
that Huron was just one of
a number of possible sites for
the. plant, but Mr, Bailey said
that negotiators for Ontario
Hydro dealing with the present
power corridor planned far
north Huron felt Huron seemed
certain to be chosen.
"Do you think people in
agriculture are really against
the power station?" Mr. Mc-
Kinley asked.
"Anyone whose dealt with
Ontario Hydro wouldn't be
for it" answered Jack Stafford,
Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture director for North
Huron. He pointed out that the
Douglas Point station in Bruce
had created hardships for
farmers boosting prices and
offering wages that made it
impossible for farmers to keep
lab ourers,
In other words, Mr. McKin-
ley said, the long term ben-
efits are not equal to the
hardships.
The difficulty of getting and
keeping farm labour was dealt
with in a brief.presented by
Allan Turnbull of Grand Bend,
vice-president of the Federa-
tion of Agriculture. The brief
called for subsidization of lab-
our for farms.
Mr. Gaunt wondered if an
extension of the government's
Manpower training program
which allows. 75 per cent sub-
sidization of people while being
trained would help. He was
told that this would be fine
while the training went on,
but once the training period
was completed, it would be
hard for farmers to be able
to pay enough to keep the
help.
Mr. McKinley said high un-
employment insurance pay-
ments made it hard far farm-
ers to draw labour to the farm.
While the payments may be
needed in some areas of the
country to help the unemployed
exist, they are too high in
rural, areas.
"If the way of life of farm-
ing is attractive enough young
people will stay on the 'farm,"
he said.
Russell Bolton of Seaford'
felt subsidies were not the
answer to the farm labour
problem. "We need prices that
give good renumeration so we
•can pay labour. If we don't
get them we may be in for
a real shortage in food," he
said.
Mr. McKinley noted that
food today takes up only 16
per cent of the wage dollar
compared to 23 per cent 10
years ago.
Jack Riddell wondered if
farmers rewarded their em-
ployees with bonuses during
periods when they were get-
ting good prices fa their
goods. Several farmers at the
meeting replied that they did.

Good old unpredictable
Canadian weather, No
sooner had I popped into the
mail my last column, extol-
ling the marvellous open
winter and the joy of spring
actually arriving, on time,
than we were hit by the worst
storm of the year, howling
wind and a foot of snow,
Oh well, it gave those
sybarites who fled our brac-
ing clime for the decadent
tropics a chance to rub it in
tows, stay-at-homes when
they returned from winter
break, sickeningly tanned
and fit looking,
This winter break bit is
becoming more exotic every
year. It used to be called Eas-
ter holidays, and wasn't
much fun, The skiing and
curling were over, the fishing
and golfing hadn't started,
and the weather was usually
rotten.
But in these affluent
times, people go winging off
in all directions, tracking
down the sun or the snow or
whatevertheir pleasure is,
Distance and money seem no
object.
1 know people who flew
to Colorado for skiing, flew
to Barbados- for bikini -
watching, flew to Jamaica for
rum, New to Cornwall for
Cornish hen, flew to Paris for
french fries,
And now the students are
getting into the act, From our
high school alone, three dif-
ferent
ifferent groups went soaring
off to Greece, Germany and
France for the week's
holiday,
They are accompanied by
teachers, who have the job
of planning the trip, collect-
ing the money, and trying to
keep their charges from
knocking down the
Acropolis or straying into a
brothel by mistake,
Preventing young pul-
chritude from being pinched
in the Piraeous is not my idea
of a fun trip for a teacher,
Nor am 1 thrilled at the
thought of stopping strapping
young male students from
becoming addled in Athens
or maudlin in Munich.
However, it's every teach
to his own taste and my col-
leagues who have tried such
a jaunt during winter break
assure me that the whole
thing is a breeze, that there's
no more confusion than there
was on the Titanic just before
she went down.
No matter, it's a wonder-
ful education for the kids.

THE BLYTH STANDARD,, April 4, 1973. PG.1S.
What I did on my winter break
How else could they learn
that foreign cabbies, waiters
and porters are even greedier
and surlier than those at
home?
What other experience
could teach them that foreign
food is not only pretty expen-
sive but often awful, and that
there's nothing in the world
to touch an honest Canadian
hamburger?
Where could they get a
better course in driver educa-
tion than on the blood-
- soaked. avenues of Paris?
Two young student
acquaintances of mine took
a month 'off during the
winter, and flew all the way
to India, They couldn't
afford to eat in the big hotels
so they just ate what the
natives did, They had a won-
derful time, They were'sick
during their entire stay, Now
how could they have learned
all that by staying in school
like -all the weak confor-
mists?
Ah, it's just -jealousy,
kids, I know you boys had
a wonderful time ogling the
gals in Greece, the belles of
Bavaria, the poules of Paris.
If 1 went, I'd have to take
my wife. And even if I didn't,
I don't know whether I could
throw a good ogle any more,
Haven't had any practice in
years.
And I know you girls dis-
covered what I could have
told you in the first place and
saved you all that money —
that Canadian girls are the
prettiest in the world and that
the ones from your home
town are the prettiest in
Canada,
I ask only one thing, You
can bore me for hours telling
me about your trip, You can
put me to sleep with yourcol-
oured slides, You can awe
me to tears, by showing me
the genuine gimcracks you
picked up for a song. But
please, please don't ask me
what I did on my winter
break holiday,
All right, then, if you're
adamant, I'll tell you, I
shovelled a foot of snow off
the sidewalk, I put out the
garbage, 1 spent a pretty
exotic half-hour at the lib-
rary, I'helped my wife vac-
uum and clean up the house
as she didn't' want t� leave
a dirty house in case some-
one broke in while we were
away.
Oh, yes, we went away.
We didn't go to the Bar-
bados, as we had planned;
But we went all the way
south to the city. My wife
went shopping. It would
have been cheaper to go to
the Barbados,
And while she was out,
battling our way toward the
poor -house, 1 just sat back
in the luxury of our hotel
room and had myself a whee
of a time marking exam
papers.
Then we came home and
fed the cat. The whole thing
is an experience I shall never
forget, It was so much fun
I'm already planning next .
year's winter break.

Huron Board of Health sets up building inspection plan
BY SHIRLEY 3, KELLER
The initial steps toward
county -wide pulmbing and
building inspection were appro-
ved by Huron County Council
at last Thursday Is session in the
court house at Goderich,
It is expected the cost of the
plumbing and building division
of the Board of Health will be
fully supported on a'user-pays
,
basis and with a sliding fee scale
of $15 far the first $1, 000 of
constructive, value; $7. SO per
$1,000 for the next $24,000 of
construction; $5 per $1,000 far
values of $25,000 to $50,000;
$2, SO per $1,000 far $50,000 to
$100, 000; and $2 per $1, 000
for values in excess of $100,000,
Medical Officer, of Health
Dr, Frank Mills told council
that a plumbing inspection by-
law would be drawn up by the
county board of health and a
presentation concerning its
content would be made to every
municipal council in the county.'
Although the municipalities
are autonomous as far as plumb-
ing inspection is concerned, Dr.
Mills said it would be hoped
that a majority of the municip-
alities, if not all, would adopt
the suggested plumbing bylaw
for their own,
Chairman of the committee,
Gerry Ginn of Goderich Town-
ship, said the board hopes that
uniformity across the county
where plumbing inspection is
concerned, will be achieved,
Ginn said the main purpose
of the county inspection plan is
to protect the public from "poor
contractors and that sort of
thing",
Behind Inc sce nes
BY KEITH ROULSTON
Looking at Paul Thompson with
his old clothes, huge rust -colour-,
ed beard and unruly hair, many
people would not guess what an
educated, ,intelligent and sensi-
tive man he is. • .
- He is one of those people who
prove again that appearances can
be deciving and one should never
judge a man by how he looks.
Paul Thompson has succeeded in
performing a minor miracle. He
has told the story of life on the
farm to the•city audience and
made them like it. Moreover,
unlike many before him, he told
the story honestly and with sym-
pathy.. That, hash! t been done
many times before.
Paul Thompson, his wife act-
ress Anne Anglin and the rest •
of the cast -and crew of Theatre
Passe Muraille will be in Huron
county again later this month
(they. will perform in Blyth on
April 29 at 2 p. m, ). They
first came here last summer
whenthey lived in an old farm
house .near Holmesville and set
out to absorb as much about farm
life as possible, They did such
an admirable job that they thri-
lled the country people and then
had a hit show in Toronto.
Unlike many theatrical people,
Paul Thompson has a rural back-
ground and isn't ashamed of it.
He grew up. near Atwood and
lived there until his father, a
veterinarian, was killed in a
plane crash, He studied for his
Pk at University of Western
Ontario and his MA at Univer-
sity of Toronto and lived in
France where he became inter-
ested in theatre and learned from
one of France's most progressive
directors.
Yet he came home because he
had to, He believes in Canada
and his aim in theatre is to tell
Canadians about the exciting
things in the surroundings and in
their history. He believes in
theatre aimed more at the ordin- ,
ary working class people. You
won't find any la -dee -da- open-
ing nights complete with limous-
ines and mink at Theatre.Passe
Muraille in Toronto. You will
find good entertainment about
Canada.
The Farm Show is remarkable
to me I don't mind admitting I
was a little skeptical last summer
when I heard a group of actors
from Toronto was trying to create
a play about Huron county far-
mers. I was even doubtful about
the results when I first saw Paul
Thompson and when I heard
about the method the troupe fol-
lowed of not using a written
script and each actor making up
part of the, play themselves.
My doubts were shattered,
however, when 1 crowded into
an old barn near Holmesville one'
Sunday afternoon last August with
a couple of hundred other people
to watch the group perform their
show. Their method was effec-
tive. Their acting was superb.
And when all the skits and songs
of the show were over, I realized
what a miraculous job they had
done in blending all the happin-
ess and humour, all the sadness
and tragedy all the problems of
existing on a farm today, into
a couple of:short hours. -- --
I laughed until my sides were
sore' at some of the skits, and
have never been more moved in
my life than at some of the others
that told the sad story of death
on the farm and death -of the farm
way of life,
We hear so much today of cul
tural genocide. We hear that the
whites are wiping out the culture
of the Indians and of the French.
Yet little has been said as yet
about the wiping out of the farm-
er and his way of life, a program.
.which has been consciously pur-
sued by city -bred experts in
both the provincial and federal
governments 'over the last 20
years. Slowly the family farm
with all its good things as well
as its bad, is being forced out of
existence, and with it goes the
way of life of the small towns
that depend on farms and farm-
ers.' And nobody seems to care
except the farmers. In fact ma-
ny in the city seem delighted,
(witness the current meat boycott)
This is why I'd like everyone
to be albe to see the Farm Show
during its tour, whether here in
Blyth or elsewhere. It' will help
us to understand ourselves and
the problems we face, And when
the show plays in the National
Arts Centre later this year, I'd
like someone to be able to force
every politician and beaurocrat
to sit down and watch it and try
to do something before the pro-
cess of rape of the family farm
is completed and there is no
- more farm story to tell. -

Dr. Mils said that when the

He said a typical problem
now shows up when the prop-

system is covered after the -
plumbing and wiring has been

plaster.' He said a call from a
:lady with a contaminated well
in.a home just recently purchas-

too close to the well although
the new owners 'had_ been given
assurances'the well was in an-
other spot on the property..
He said hi too many cases,

county basis, it was important
