Dick Eisler, who holds a 'similar position with the town of Goderich, has been hired as animal control officer. The hiring comes after more than a year of complaints about dogs running at large in the village and doing damage. Last year council passed a tough new dog control bylaw but it has not been enforced because of the lack of a dog catcher. Reeve Lawrie said Mr. Eisler has already issued several warnings and tougher action can be expect- ed in the future.

Despite attempts by many farm organizations in recent years to improve urban understanding sof farm problems, alienation between urban people and rural•residents seems to be growing rapidly of late, The meat boycott is one of the most obvious symptoms of this growing emnity between city -dwellers and the farmer, but there are others. Two editorials (reprinted on page 3) from the two largest Toronto newspapers show the negative attitude the urban press has toward farm issues, Though both make a valid point in their comparison'of small business and the family farm, both strike out negatively at the farmer rather than reacting positively by welcoming the tax changes and saying they should also\apply to small business. The meat boycott, though, has been the major break in rural -urban relations and its total effect may not be known for some time. It has had the effect of opening the eyes of many rural people causing them to take a closer look at their present situation. • Farm people now can see that the urban consumer doesn't give a damn about the well-being of the farmer if it means she might have to pay a little extra for food and thus do without some of the nice little extras of modern living. Farm people now see that while they were working hard and becoming more efficient over the years to try to keep down the cost of food, they weren't really being appreciated, Their efforts were simply taken for granted by the urban consumer who obviously felt that food prices should always be so low (at the same time they quietly berated the government fcr subsidies.given to help keep farmers alive while they produced cheap food). Now there seems to be a growing militancy among farmers, or at least among farm organizatio_ ns, They seem to be saying they've had enough of the government's cheap food policies and subsidies and that nothing will do now but a fair price for their product.....w. If. they pursue this course, there will be a good deal more hard feelings..between the urbanite and farmer in the next ,; few years. But who can:blame a farmer who has suddenly,;-,. „• realized that nice guys donnish last? Who can blame him - - when he sees the greed manifest by the urban businessman and consumer if he suddenly decides he is going to get a fair break for a change? • . The next few years may be a time of hard feelings and crisis, but if the farmers stick to their guns and work together for a change, they (and everyone) will be better off in the long run. One thing sure, the day of cheap food is gone. s • �•a•. r. Mobile homes need a home; • The new Huron County plan accepted recently by Coun Council put tight controls on mobile home location in the county. • Frankly, it's abouttime. Although not a problem now, the increasing number of mobile homes sprinkled here and there around the county would soon be a detriment to the county. But with the changes, it means locak councils must take action to give a home to the mobile homes. Blyth, for instance has a large number of mobile homes at present situated around the village. These will not be affected by any new regulations. But although the local council has the powers to set its own rules about mobile homes, it would seem reckless for Blyth council not to use the Huron planning rules to regulate the location of NEW- mobile homes in the village, In their place, mobile homes provide good cheap housing. But their place is not scattered all over the village. Council should be giving serious consideration to designating a mobile home park within the village which could accomodate new mobile homes in the community and any mobile home presently here which would like to move. The mobile home is here to stay. It provides cheap housing and generally good housing for those who use them. For young couples and senior citizens alike it provides a chance to have a modern home at little cost. But because of difficulties in taxation, servicing and appear- ance, the place for mobile homes is in a special area designed for them, not scattered among regular housing units. Action on this matter.now would help give Blyth the jump on other municipalities in attracting new citizens who want to live in mobile homes. Lack of action might mean, on one hand, the town will lose many who might have moved here and on the other, might gain a• junky appearance from too many mobile homes in regular residential areas.

Mr. Davis was telling the Albertans how unfair they were being to the Ontario consumers by this big rise in gas prices. He was tell= ing them how it would hurt industry, but how hard it would be on the ordinary homeowners who would have to pay more to heat his house; If Davis could say all that with a straight face, he should win an Oscar. All the while he was arguing, he must have known that his treasurer, Mr. White was planning a 7 per cent ".. tax, not only on natural gas; but on electricity and coal, used to heat and light Ontario homes/ (though not fuels used in industry). Somehow it seems Mr. Davis had a short memory in his concern for the Ontario consumer. t From my window BY SHIRLEY J. 1ELLER -.. I've just come through an or- deal, the kind that practically every mother must face from time to time. Last weekend, the youngest member of our,fam- ily had a birthday. He changed from six to seven in the wink of an eye . , . , , and I got one more gray hair over it all, It was on the eve of his birth- day that he came running in from his game of ,driveway hockey to question concerning the invitations. "What invitations?" I asked, •getting that pit of my stomach churning which always accomp- anies disaster. "For my party," he said, his eyes as wide as two giant sauc ers. I sunk into the nearest chair: Birthday parties for little, boys are about the worst thing that can .happen to a woman. Between gulps of water and sniffles, my son explained he'd already told some of his class- mates he was hosting a birthday party. He said there wouldn't be many - maybe eight - and that the menu should consist of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, cabbage salad (without the other stuff in it), mixed vegetables, pop and chocolate cake with ice cream. • When I regained my composure I exerted my "mother's privile- ge". I told him that as a work • Ing mother, there would be no birthday parties through the week, I also melted when the tears..be- gan profusely and told him that a Saturday theatre party with hotdogs and.cake afterward would have 'to suffice. My son was delighted. The next few minutes consisted of making big plans for Saturday's event while I quickly'rearrang- ed my own personal plans for a leisurely day -off in the city.. I hope I'm not offending any- one when I say that I am oppos- ed to annual birthday parties for small children, Birthday parties can become a real pain -in -the - neck for mothers with several youngesters who are constantly invited to parties and each exp., ecting a party on their own big . • day. But I know that kids get a tremendous amount of pleasure from these social gatherings.:.. and I suppose I'd be something of a monster if I'd rule that. birthday.parties become extinct. Anyway`, the party was on and Saturday at the appointed hour eight little packages of dynam- ite arrived carrying birthday presents. "Where's your TV?" asked the first. can!t eat chocolate," sta- . ted'the'•sedond. . "My mother says I shouldn't go outdoors," announced the third. "I've got the flu," Fortunately for the three of them, my son wisked them away -to listen to records until - it was time - blessed time - to leave for the theatre. When eating time rolled rou- nd, I was prepared for the worst. The dining table was set in fes- tive array and within seconds after the howling horde descen- ded omit, I knew my efforts at color co-crdination had been wasted. It took only five minutes for one guest to. spill his glass of pop, another to get sick and. need bathroom facilities imme- diately and one more to lose control of the ketchup and send it across the table onto another boy's new sweater. - As the- meal progressed, 1 discovered the words to two new ', re t •t a. by SHIRLEY J. KELLER, dirty songs; one of the teachers wears support hose and false teeth; and the neighborhood may have an outbreak of jungle fever. The hotdogs were well receiv- ed; the chocolate cake was fair- ly well acclaimed; but my choi- ce of. ice cream was way, -way off, I had selected three flavor ice cream - you' know' the cho- colate, strawberry and the blend. "Uch.. ch, , chl exclaimed one little fellow. "I hate that stuff," "What would you like?" 1 ask- ed sweetly, hoping he'd tell me he wanted a punch in the head, "Anything but that," came his terse reply. "Fun tiling,",1 'muttered. "Th at's the way I feel about birth- day parties."

Most_ of the lectures come from those who ,say they voted Liberal for the wrong reasons. The night the election returns rol- led in, sounding the death knell of - '30 years of Conservative rule in Huron, the former Huron member, Charles MacNaughton accused the opposition parties of .throwing a "red herring! - into the campaign and accused the press, of unfairly covering the facts of the issues." The • !red herring" was - regional government. - Shortly after the election, syndica- ted columnist Harold Greer, writing , from Queen's Park talked about how the Liberals had outfoxed the Conser- vatives in Huron by making regional government an issue when the govern- ment had no plans for regional gover- anent in Huron, He spoke of how the Conservative candidate, Don South - colt had been tricked into a position of supporting regional government on a county basis. _ Government leaders have stated loud and long since the election that the government has never had plans for regional government in all parts of the province. Laet week the London Free Press in an editorial said the whole thing was a case of misunderstanding. "The Huron byelection", it said ". • • dram- aiiied the- Davii;:goyernment's inabil- ity to get its intentions across to the people, especially those in to get • its intentions across t problems The double standard Farmers are great. They provide that first necessity, food; and in an industry made exceptionally uncert- ain by -both nature and a world habit of fluctuating between feast and fam- ine, they unquestionably merit the special attention of governments. Yet there- are other people who also make essential contributions to getting food from field to mouth. There are other people who establish small fam- ily_ businesses, which frequently bec-,- ome the nucleus-- and in the future must more often become ,the nucleus if Canada is to become truly industri- alized -- of great Canadian Corpora tions. - Let us consider only the family farm and the family firm, which Ontario Treasurer -John White considered in his budget; and the difference in the treat- ment accorded them is astounding. Mr. White was Santa Claus to the family farm. Sucession duties on such a farm, -,even if it were incorporated, would :become a -myth, so long as the farm continued to be worked by the family. Each year for 25 years one twenty-fifth of duty and interest on farm assets would be forgiven. They would become payable --and only that part not already forgiven --only if the farm were sold. • But Mr. • White had other packages to stack under the farm Christmas tree. The`Government"also intends to make provision fa a once -in -a -lifetime gift of an interest in a family farm by, a farmer to his, children of up t� $50;000 free of gift tax". The Government intends, too, to double the grants it"gives to reduce the -property taxes borne by farmers. "This year," said Mr. White, "we rare increasing our tax relief grant to 50 per cent (from 25) of the total property tax burden. "Thisis equivalent to complete exemption from property taxation for all farm land", leaving only the farm house to be taxed. • That rush you. may notice this week- end will be' city wage slaves hurrying out to the countryside, to establish family farms.. - - Yes, itis generous;.:extremely gen- erous. To measure the generosity, • compare it with what Mr. White prop- oses to do for family firms. Ha begins by. -admitting that "the Government - considers itimperative that Canadian ownership' be encouraged, particularly in family firms which have been crea- ted by Canadians." .These family -firms can elect to. pay off sucession duties (and interest on same) in one of two ways.- "ffhey-Can make the' actual pay- ments in' six,instalments over six years. — Or they - may pay:the duty "bytransfer of shares of the business to the Crown - at their market value". -In his budget speech Mr." White sug- gested that the shares might be held by the Ontario Heritage Foundation --a - body set up to preserve historic- build- ings and administer properties of recr- eational, esthetic ,or. scenic interest. - The accompanying budget papers were a -little more cold-blooded. "The Crown,". they said, "will owl the sha- res outright, and while it will"offer right of first refusal to the family, it will be free -to sell them at`•any time at.market value." " -- No forgiveness .of succession duties and -interest there; no right to make $50, 000 tax-free gifts.; no freedom from taxation on the propertyfrorn which the family makes its living. Infect, no equity. , Mr. White argued that the difference arose from the fact that a farmer earn- ed less on his investment than a family firm; a statement by no means univers- ally true. Some farmersmake a great deal more on their investment than many firms. It is unfair. It may be good politics in rural constituencies where Tory , strength is waning but it cannot be re- garded as a reasonable answer to the long-term problem of sustaining fam- ily units as the mainstay of farm life. More flexible programs.will be nee- ded if agricultural production is to be kept out of the hands of a shrinking landed gentry and larger corporations. Those programs will have to be fair and not dependent•on a division of taxpayers into separate camps. Enabling the family farm to survive and prosper and make a truly econom- ic contribution to the Canadian comm- unity will not be easy, perhaps not. even possible. Governments have been try8ng to do it for decades without not- - able success, if one is to judge by_the flood of farm people to the cities. It is fairly safe to assume that it cannot be done by being grossly unfair to all the other Canadians who also have th- eir share in keeping Canada Canadian; there are more of them, and in the long run they won't be cheated. Mr. White said he was still mulling over the problem of family firms. We trust the mulling will produce some more equitable answers. '--Toronto Globe G Mail. The farm mystique Shorn of the mystique of the•land, is the family farm different from the fam- ily fruit store, the family welding • shop or the family pants pressing busi- ness? It seems so. Finance Minister John Turner, with a vigorous shove from the Conservatives and New Democrats, has just accepted a second change from the original intention of the 197.2 tax reform bill and said, in effect, that the family farm will be_exemptfrom capital gains tax if it changes hands -- in any circumstances -- between fath- er and child. So, the family farm is different. Whether it ought to be is_ another -mat-_ ter. This is preferential treatmentfor one form of small business. Moreover, whatever revenue is lost as a .result of it will have to be made up elsewhere-- from the family fruit store, among others. - There is another point here. It some- times has.been cited as a virtue of " 'minority Parliaments that they are res- ponsive. However, what has happened in this case is.that two parties which - draw much of their, support from farm - areas have combined to persuade the government to introduce an inequity into theta system. The family farm should be treated as any other small business for -tax purposes--cr any other" small family business should be treated as the fam- - ily farmwhich is perhaps the better proposition. --Toronto Daily Star. THE BLYTH STANDARD, April 16, 1973. PG.3. nently rural areas with inbred suspic- ions of the big -government trend," In other wore, the hicks up in the country just don't understand the gov- ernment's good intentions, The implications of all this clamour of misunderstanding are serious, What it points too, if one believes it, is that the Liberals, with the aid of the NDP, won the Huron seat through dec- eit. Everyone from Mr, MacNaughton to Mr. Greer to the Free Press seems to be saying that the Liberals, who being present at Queen's Park woul know what is going on with government pl- ans, deliberately led people in Huron to think regional government was an issue, when indeed Huron had nothing to fear, The implication of all this is that the press, by supporting an anti - regional government platform helped perpetrate this injustice. The whole thing got me, as a news- paperman, a little uptight. When you are a professional at anything, you don't like intimations that you are pla- ying tricks with your customers. A couple of weeks ago I was at a meeting when Murray:QGaunt local M.P:P, for Huron -Bruce and "a tireless campaigner in the Huron byelection ,was present. I asked him about the Greer column and he said he would ask Mr. Greer how he came by his observations. He sent me the reply last week in a letter, It reads: "I spoke to Harold Greer about the article, and he basically felt that he • was fair in that essentially he was say- ing that as of the moment the Govern- ment has no plans to impose Regional • Government on Huron. However, that is not the -way it came out in the • article. The impression was left that the Government has no plans now and never will have any plans for Regional Government in Huron, but that the Liberals created the issue for their own political advantage. That is the part that I find unfair and simply not true." - That may let the Liberals off the hook but it still doesn't let the press or the people of Huron in general off the hook. We still, according to the "sup- erior" minds of our urban politicians ,and newspapermen, are stupid rubes who can't,getthe facts straight. So far the only thing we can really be sure of is that regional government is not just around the corner for Huron. We are told that the government never did have any intention of imposing regional rule on Huron. If not, why weren't we told earlier? The Free Preis says Premier William Davis and his senior ministers were saying before the, election that there would be no regional government "but their words obviously fell far shat of the reassurance sought by edgy muni- cipalities and their tradition-corsetted citizens and politicians". Maybe our corset of tradition was too tight for us to hear properly, but it seems to this writer that the first bleat about no plans for regional gov- ernment came from Premier Davis only on March 1, just two weeks before the vote was tabulated. Even then he didn't rule out the possibility of reg- ional government in the future. He told reporters that the government had no plans "in the works" for regional government in Huron. But at the same time he was still flirting with the idea when he promised "We won't go out- side a geographic area to pick up a city" a reference to the fear of many in the county that Huron would be lum- ped into a region with a large city such as London. - No exactly a convinving denial of . any plans of regional government for Huron. Going back earlier the argu- ment that the government did not have its sights set on regional government here seem even more wishy-washy. First there was the design for Devel- opment, Phase One document produced in 1970 by the Treasury Department under Mr. MacNaughton. It lumped Huron in with Perth and parts of Wel- lington as a economic area (basically the old Midwestern Ontario Develop- ment Council). Though not a docu- ment outlining regionalgovernment, similar documents in other areas have acted as feelers for later government regional plans. And it was produced by the same department that handles regional government. A year-ago, it was,the then -treas- urer Darcy McKeough (before his fall from grace).appearing before Huron . county council and giving them little cause. for rejoicing. Not only did he not tell them regional government wasn't planned for Huron, _he didn't even give them much encouragement that they could expect Huron to stand alone, as a region. - (The Free Press did print an article saying Mr. McKe- ough had said there would be no reg- ional government for Huron but other reporters at the meeting -and members of county council I spoke too said this was a misintepretation of -what was said. ) Then just before Christmas, Mr. Gaunt delivered a question to the Provincial Treasurer (Mr, MacNaugh- ton) in the legislature asking that if the government was adamant on its plan to go ahead with regional gover- nment, it should consider Huron and Bruce Counties as separate units, Mr. MacNaughton could have used this..as .-., an opportunity to set Mr. Gaunt strai- ght once and for all on the fact that the Government had no idea of impost ing regional government on Huron. - He did not. Instead he told'Mr. Gaunt that such a plan would require a change in the present, yardsticks used to setup regional government, but'this.was, of course, not impossible. Harold Greer The Tories must have had plenty of warning that regional government was going to be a'crucial issue in the el- ' ection. Even in the 1971 election it had been given token interest but had been snowed under by the general concern that the dirty socialists of the NDP might seize power. Mr. MacNa- ughton had a big enough lead he could pretty well ignore the problem. This time they must have known it was not the case. With the opposition parties holding their nominations be- fore the Conservatives and spending considerable time hammering at regional government, one would have thought the Conservative nomination night would have been a good time for the Conservatives to reveal the • fact they didn't plan regional govern- ment far Huron.- Although they spent plenty of time attacking the Liberals and NDP that night, they hardly tou- ched on regional government except that Mr. Southcott said he favoured regional government on a county basis. Throughout the campaign, though Mr. Southcott showed time and again that he was privy to govern- ment information in attacking the opposition claims.against the budget and medicare costs, he stuck to his stand on regional government. With hindsight, it now seems that the Conservativesmere trying to bluff their way through the election, ignoring as much as possible the reg- ional government question so they wouldn't be deeply committed when the election was over and Mr. South- cott was elected. He could always say that he had tried his best, but the economics of the situation demanded • that Huron be lumped with another area in a region: - It was only when they sensed they were in trouble that the Conservatives realized they had to do something, and then and only then did Mr. Davis ..- start.saying there were no plans for regional government (although not very convincingly). It seems then that if there has been a red herring in the whole issue it has been thrown in by the government. We have yet to hear Mr. Davis state categorically that there will not be regional government for Huron. We do hear him trying his best to smooth over the whole thing and placate the voters in the hopes Huron won't be a forerunner of a devestating upset in 1975. We can accept the fact that perhaps the government has no plans on the boards for Huron at present (although it might be interesting to see what, goodies one could find if they had ac- cess to the back rooms of the regional planners) but we can't be sure they haven't plans in their heads. The only of thing we can be sure is that region government won't come -to Huron be-' fat the 1975 election. If Davis pulls another Conservative miracle and gets in with a big majority, who knows how soon those plans might materialize.

And sitting down, they watched Him there; Matthew 27-36. We all 'at some time or another have been present at a ball game or hockey, or we have watched through the medium of Television. Some watch boxing and wrestling. Ane as we watch we cannot help but notice the expression upon the faces of the people, Some are jubilant, some angry, some sneery, many bored. In a court of law when a person is on trial some Spectators are in sympathy with the accused, others are hoping for punishment. We are reminded during this season of Easter, of the story of the crucifixion of the Son of God. After a phony trial Jesus was sentenced to be crucified. Out text speaks of the crowd that were present. Just like the people today who I have already mentioned (A mixed crowd) Enemies and Friends. The soldiers. There to watch that there was no trouble, . Cruel, indifferent, Unbelievers, gambling for His robe, The chief priests and elders, (His accusers) angry mockers, professing to serve God, yet shouting for the blood of His Son. The vast crowd, Sensual lovers of excitem ent. Sin blinded. Pilate the judge "I could have saved Him, But I was afraid of my job." Barabbas "He died in my place".

Listings on Farms, Homes and Businesses That's where more and, more Canadians are living, and governments aregoing to have to recognize the fact, soon! By- LANCE P. JONES CANADIAN PAPERWORKER JOURNAL Canada is developing a new social minority ... the Canadians who live in small towns. This isn't surprising, for ever since the Second World War, social scientists, jour- nalists, politicians and spokesmen for Big Business have been lauding the :growth of Canada's cities and the trend away from rural living. There's no denying there has been such a trend. In 1901, most Canadians -- 63 per cent — lived .on farms or in unincor- porated hamlets, Most of the others lived in .small villages or towns that served as trade centres for the surrounding regions. There were only a few big cities in Canada, But by 1971, 76.1 per cent of Canadians were classifiedas urban dwellers. The rural pro- portion, according to Statistics Canada's definition of rural, was only 23.9 per cent. And the trend is supposed to continue. It has been estimated that Canada's population by the year 2,000 will be 80 per cent urban, with half the total popu- lation concentrated in nine giant metropolitan centres; Montreal with 5.4 million people, Toronto with 4,5 million, Vancouver with 2 million, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Ottawa with 1 million each, Calgary and Hamilton with 900,000 each, and Quebec City 'with 800,000. So our legislators concern themselves with the problems of the big city, and draft massive — and expensive programs for Urban redevelopment, urban transportation, control of , urban` pollution, urban unemployment, urban poverty, urban crime, and even urban alienation-- the lone- liness and lack of a feeling of belonging that are said to • beset modern man because he lives in the big city. And so often these are shared -cost programs: avail- able only to those municipalities with a big enough tax base to pay the municipal contribution that becomes, in effect, a deterrent fee, eliminating the smaller muni- cipalities, Even education is geared to- wards the larger community, with the stress on larger schools with more complex facilities, The uni- versities are located mostly in large centres, giving the city dweller the advantage of not having to send his university -age children to another centre and pay board for them there, In On- tario, there was. a tremendous growth of community colleges. 'It had been hoped some would. be built in smaller communities, `and that they would offer the first two years of university, Instead, they became terminal schools, and the .universities successfully lobbied the provincial government to keep the community colleges from giving university credit courses, LYTH STANDARD, April 18, 73. PG 13. eluding . social scientists have ignored, That is Statistic Canada's definition of "urban dweller", Statistics Canada classifies people as urban if they live in commu- nities of 1,000 population or more, So the 76;1 per cent of Canadians classified as urban in the 1971 census include` millions of people who live in small towns or vil- lages, This puts an. entirely new lighton the picture of Canada as an "urban" country. Unfortunate- ly, few of our politicians seem to have found the switch with which to turn on that light. They still seem to think most Canadians live in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. What's more, even the great metropolitan areas to which we as a people are flocking, including hundreds of communities with populations between 1,000 and 30,000. The minetowns, railtowns and No wonder, with all this atten- tion on the city and its problems, people who live in small towns are beginning to share some of the feelings of other neglected social minorities: the aged, the pen- sioners and the native people. But is Canada an urban coun- try? Is it made up mainly of rural people? Or is this image of Canada as a country of city dwellers just a myth? One contemporary sociologist says it is just a fairy tale, Rex A. Lucas of the University of To- ronto says this idea is just a myth and that it has been perpetrated by social scientists for years. Lucas reached his conclusion after he analyzed the data of the 1961 census. It showed that even at that late date 6,004,383 people lived in communities of 30,000 population or over, Another 2,072,785 lived on farms, That came to a total of 8,077,168 people, 'close to one-half the total 1961 population of a little more than 18,000,000. And he pointed out another elevant factor most people, in- milltowns where ' millions of Canadians live aremostly smaller communities. Yet on their pro- duction depends the economy of all of Canada. And it is from the centres of 30,000 population or less that most ' of our urban dwellers come. Just because these communities are neglected, their young people leave them and move to the cities, bringing with them the values of life in a com- munity where people know one another and people care for one another; Our small communities have problems. More and more indus- try - particularly secondary in- dustry — is moving to the larger population centres to be close to markets and transportation. The federal regional incentive pro- gram was supposed to have helped this situation. But too often it has just meant the open- ing of a modern, automatic plant in one community, at the price of the closing of a bigger one, em- ploying more people, in some other small community. People who live in smaller communities face some disadvan- tages, usually due to the lack of attention from legislators, Often their'schools go only to grade 12, offer' little choice of subject, and are staffed by young teachers who get a few years' experience and then move to the cities, Often they have little choice as con- sumers, and this is particularly true of isolated mill towns or mine towns, Their recreational facilities are limited, and they have a much better case for government subsidization of re- creation than the urban centre where commercial entertainment is readily available, Small town people learn recreation is a do-it- yourself matter, and they ° prob- ably are better people for it, Politically they sometimes have problems, with one major com- pany dominating local decision making. Often, too, the major employer also dominates the local newspaper, and vital issues aren't discussed in its pages. One other real anxiety in the life of the resident of the small town is insecurity. Whether he has a job tomorrow is often" dependent on decisions over which he has no control, made at com_ - pany head offices thousands of miles away; or on world market' conditions which he can't in- fluence; or on laws made by legislators who see Canada as an urban country. Yet they survive, because they offer something the large com- munity doesn't offer. And that is the kind of, inter -personal rela- tionthat exist only where people are aware of one another and recognize their personal respon- sibilties . to one another. Thus it is, for example, that people will continue to live in a Prairie farm community long after the grain elevator, the only economic reason for its existence, is gone. And that, too, is why the people of Temiscaming and united in their fight to buy and reopen the pulp mill closed by Canadian Interna- tional Paper company. • • There may be a trend towards urbanism in Canada, But Canada's smaller communities are tre- mendously important. And the people who live there have the right to the same educational opportunities,. health care, hous- ing, recreational programs and job security as the people in the big cities. But they won't get' them as long as legislators have a phoney vision of Canadians as a people who live in big cities, and as long as the big lobbies that influence politicians see their well being as synonymous with the well being of the big cities. Political boundary redistribu- tions are lessening small town influence in politics. ,The trend towards bigness and consolidation is hurting the education of small town youth. The move by sec- ondary industry towards the big population centres is hurting small town economies. In most institutions of society, small town people- are under -represented and neglected. The one exception is the trade union movement with its insistence on representation from the local at regional and national conventions. Trade unions leaders may be the one hope left for the well being -of the millions of Canada who still live in small communities. gets rave reviews at second opening Director Paul Thompson of Theatre Passe Muraille sometiines takes a part in The Farm Show. Here he drives some horses in a scene about the old way of farm life. He grew up near Atwood where his fsther was a veterinarian. The Farm Show, the hit show about farm life in Huron Coun- ty, again receivedrave reviews When it -opened in Toronto last week for a second run. The show originally" opened in Toronto last fall after it had been prepared by a"group of actors from Theatre Passe Mur- aille who spent the summer in the Holmesville area learning about farm life. It was a hit then, and it was a hit all over again when it opened last Wedgy nesday in Toronto. The Toronto Star reviewer was even more complimentary about the play the second time around. than : he was in the review printed on this page. The present. run pre- ceeds a tour which will see the play come to Blyth on April 29 at 2;00 p.m. The tour, starts in Orangeville and Listowel then comes to Blyth and goes on to Essex, The Farm Show - a -rich theatrical experience BY URJO KAREDA THE TORONTO STAR The Farm Show at Theatre Passe Muraille, gives a lot of pleasure far a lot of rea- sons. As a• dramatic work, it is vigorous, informative, stylish and often insanely funny. But its power arises as well from our communicaods by which this production was put together. The Farm Show is a Paul Thompson -organized collective creation, a form which has been uniquely perfected at the Thea- tre Passe Muraille and which, because this talented man has chosen to work in Toronto, is now ours as well. This particular collective cre- ation seems an advance on the past because the performers have had a much more direct relati- onship to the material. As a result, there is a richness in the performances which adds depth and color to the whole exper- ience. For six weeks last summer. Thompson took his actors to live on a farm near Clinton, Ontario, with the object of creating a production about, and for, the farmers of that region. near Windsor, on April, 30.' From then itis scheduled for Kincardine, Clinton, Wingham, Brussels, Owen Sound, Port Elgin and Hanover and will end up at the Festival Theatre in Stratford on May 13. It will open at the National ArtO.Centre in Ottawa on Aug- ust 21 and 'in September will tour six states in New England. It seems the farmers of Hur- on are going to be famous people before the year's, out. Working through both a subje- ctive and objective response to the environment, joining farm- ers at their tasks, meeting local residents and listening, always listening, the company develop- ed the dramatic material which was first presented in a barn to • the farmers themselves and has now been transported to Toronto. The 'performance in Clinton must have been electrifying in .its immediacy. In Toronto, we receive the data not with a shock of recognition but with a glow of familiarization. • The Farm Show is performed on a raked acting area, the floor of which is a large map of the rural area involved, with the names of the individual farms boldy labelled. Some very nice entertainers from the area --Russ and Dorothy from Tees - water --provide preliminary music, and though the fire mar - shall has vetoed bales of hay, the atmosphere is unbelievably evocative. That authenticity is the triu- mph of the performers, who also, of course, created the material. This is by no means a conventi- onal documentary, but it is cert- ainly realism of a magic. intens- ity. Through' mime, song, nar- rative, sound poetry, monolog- ues-61e onolog ues--the whole range of possible communication --we come very close to the heart of their exper- ience. There is a succession of inspi- red ideas. Afarmwife (Janet Amos), prattling happily about her cleaning cheres, sits in her wringer -washer, and eventually becomes the machine itself. There is a stirring heroic dra- ma (in verse) about the mytho- logy of tractors. We have a hilarious plowing match and with extreme ingenuity we are given the fearfulness of rural winter, with its dual responses of cages and escapes. The fear that the actors might. sentimentalize farming is dispa- tched in Miles Potter's memor- able monologue about.a day's hay -loading. Cool looks are given to such furors as Orange parades and Jesus revivals. Miss Amos has a wonderful sequence about weddings, rising to the great line. "We laughed until Continued on pg. 15.

There are moving insigh- ts into farm tragedies and a - sharp vignette about people dri- fting to the cities.- Very fine, too, is the section devoted to the strange recluse Charlie Wil- son (David Fox), with his relig- ion, - his encyclopedic knowl- edge of plants and his cruel, - self -inhibiting facial tic. It is difficult to account for the excitement which this produ- ction brings. Partly there is the lucid beauty and ease of Paul Thompson's methodology, and the vividness of six actors --Anne Angline, Janet, Amos, Fina MacDo nnell, David Fox, Miles Potter and Thompson himself-- - performing with such versatility, tact and palpable compassion. The evening. is filled•;with-sub- tle cross-references so that we come to discover a whole cont- ained world. In The Farm Show, Thompson and his actors have - helped us to know, understand and love a community of people beyond our sphere of familiarity. As artists, they can have no hig- her ambitions, Belgrave resident dies JOHN FINLAY McCALLUM The death occurred in Wing - ham and District Hospital on April 4th, 1973 of John Finlay McCallum in his 84th year. He had been ill five months. Mr. McCallum was the son of James and Sara (McLean) McCal- lum. He was born in East Wa- wanosh Township and later att- ended S.

He is also survived by 17 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. The funeral service was con- ducted on April 6 by Rev. John G. Robert from the S, J. Walker Funeral Home in Wingham with burial in Brandon Cemetery, Belgrave. Pallbearers for the late Mr. McCallum were Lorne Jamieson, Kenneth Wheeler, Harold Vin- cent, William Watson, Kenneth Dunbar and Arnold Bruce. Flowerbearers were John Smith and Sam Pletch.

Even then we had to go around. a different - way, It was almost unbeliev- - able to see -all that water, Most homes had a three-foot water mark on them and they wer e all moving out their furniture to dry when the water subsided. That article you sent on the Muiray Grey cattle being imp, cited into Canada was very int- eresting. It was close to here by the Murray river they were first established several years ago. Around here the topic 1S very controversial, Our friend is a cattle buyer and believes there is a lot of misinformation on the Murray Greys. He thinks they don't give more meat than other breeds, and that Charolais are the best meat producing 'an- imals. But the Murray Greys are really played up a lot since quite a few good business men have a lot of shares in these cattle. - The heat has subsided and we often get.a nice little rain. Everything Is a beautiful green and the hills are lovely looking now. If we had to live in Aus- tralia we would pick this area because of the beautiful hills and trees. When the heat was on everyone kept telling us this was an exceptional year, , We` are now on a tobacco farm starting work yesterday, picking leaves and tieing them on sticks. March 21,1973 Dear Mom S Dad: Well this is the first day of Autumn and it was very warm down in the paddock. There is quite an assortment of,work- ers here; two Italians, two Greeks, two Canadians, two young hitch hikers from Perth as well as local people. The tob- acco crop here isn't the best this year partially due to the elements and bad management. They had about eight inches of rain six weeks ago and there is a lot of leaf mould. The women work mostly on a tying machine which they just got new this year and it is made in London, Ont. The men work mostly out in the paddock doing exciting jobs like picking leaves on a six row picker and cutting tobacco stalks like the old timers used to cut corn. What a bloke doesn't do for a living, but we like the country air and the three weeks have flown by. Incident- ly, as you have likely gathered, • they dont,have fields -here, but paddocks. March 29, 1973 ' It is raining to -day and we have the afternoon off, and it certainly is welcome. Yet we can honestly say we are enjoy- ing it now.: It took awhile to get to know the';others,=-e ec- sally the, Italians and Greeks,; yet they are -really nice fellows. Very hard workers diets f ee sure. I don't know how detailed your Atlas is but this farm is situated in the beautiful King Valley by the King River. We consider this to be the best Australian scenery we have seen. We are' in the foothills of the Victorian Alps although the hig- hest mountain in Victoria is close by it is. only around 6500 feet. The mountains in Aust- ralia are not pointed but are rounded and are covered with gum trees. We will be heading for the Barossa Valley in a few days where we will try our hand at picking grapes. These grapes become the Australian raisins you buy. Take care and bye for now. Orlena and Hugh.

(HURON -BRUCE): The big news this week was the Provincial Budget, Treasurer John White, as pre, dieted, raised the sales tax from five per cent to seven per cent. The seven per cent sales tax in- cludes heat and light, but there will be rebates far those who can't afford it. The tax will not apply to energy used dir- ectly in manufacturing, but it - will mean higher bills for heat and light in homes and offices. The, energy tax will not take - effect until July 1. The sales tax will takr effect May 1. The sales tax increase will be bhhnted for low income fam- ilies through a tax credit form- ula which will increase exemp- tions at income tax paying time. Pensioners will receive a new tax credit as well.. Sucession duties -have been eased dramatically for certain Categories. They have been effectively removed altogether from family farms and to a lesser extent Canadian owned family firms. The farmer can now give'his children a once in - a lifetime gift of $50, 000 with- out being subject to gift tax. The farm tax rebate is being increased from 25 per cent to 50 per cent. The Government plans to transfer an additional $182 million this year -to local goner- nments. This means that $1.9 billion or 48.5 per cent of their total revenues will be received from•the Province. This will remove pressure on property . taxes at the local level and should lead to cuts in mill rates. The tax changes will not the. Treasury an additional $333 million. This will leave the Government with a predicted budget deficitfor the fiscal year 1973-74 of $402 million. Opposition spokesmen said the new budget was both sweet and sour. Robert Nixon, Ont- ario Liberal leader, said the increase in sales tax was regre- ssive taxation because it hits rich and poor alike. He continued by saying that once again it's a case of the Government taking with one hand and paying only a portion back with the other. He added, however, that increased grants to municipalities are °a good approach to the problem of ris- ing property taxes°. Belgrave 4H The seventh meeting of Bel - grave.

Macdonald, Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources, has an- nounced an immediate ban of the sale of firecrackers to the general public. The banning of firecrackers and a tightening up of the con- trols, distribution and sale of fireworks are aimed at counter- ing ountering an annual toll of injuries and fatalities. Firecrackers in future will be made available only to persons licensed to use display fireworks under new conditions that will be implemented in the next few months through changes in the Explosives Regulations of the Canada Explosives Act, which is administered by Mr, Macdonald's Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. Firework's distributors will be authorized to sell display fireworks only to peisons holding a permit of competency issued by the Department, The Dep- artment will set regulations for the setting off of such fireworks at displays, introduce training courses, and examine and qual- ify applicants for competency certificates. Display fireworks generally are the larger and more power- ful and sophisticated type nor- mally used in displays at public gatherings. The new changes also will restrict the sale of less hazard- ous types, such as sparklers and roman candles, to those 18 years of age and over. "When dealing with fireworks available to the general public, items like roman candles and sparklers, for example, we will continue to test every type sold in Canada to ensure that they comply with our safety requir- ements'", Mr. Macdonald stated. "On the other hand, display fireworks can be extremely dan- gerous. We have always insis- ted on controls, but now we feel that additional restrictions are required" added the Minister. Mr. Macdonald said his Dep- artment had been studying the matter for several months, and had taken note cf the many representations received urging such actions from many munic- ipal and public bodies and from individuals. He noted that a number of local governments had imposed rufous regulations, but these had not been totally effective because they were not universal. Anyone with supplies of Chi- nese firecrackers on hand is ur- ged to return them to the supp- lier.

For example: The case of the Mag From the files of the Advertising Standards Council In an advertisement, a manufacturer claimed that his "magnetic bracelet" possessed therapeutic value for sufferers from various illnesses, This is the advertising- rule that was broken: "No advertisement shall be prepared, or be knowingly accepted, which offers false hope in the form of a cure or relief for the mentally or physically handicapped, either on a temporary or permanent basis." Here's what we did about it, immediately. As soon as the Advertising Standard` Council received a consumer com- plaint about the advertisement we contacted the manufacturer and asked him for proof of his claims. We received no direct reply, but he very quickly dropped all reference in his advertising to therapeutic valuus. The bracelet is now sold as an ornament, Keep this complaint notice.

English is going down the drain, going to the dogs, or going up .in smoke these days, Take your pick, Maybe that first sentence is what's wrong with the language, There are so many idioms in it that nobody can speak or write the real,thing any more. University professors have expressed their indigna- tion publicly. A couple of them recently announced that students who expect to graduate in one of the profes- sions can't write one sen- tence without failing all over their syntax, I bgree with them. But if they think they have troubles, they should try teaching English in high school, There has been such a marked and rapid decrease in the standards of written and spoken English that teachers of the subject can be found almost any day in the staff john, weeping into the washbasin, This winter, a teacher in a city school decided to prove something she already knew, She drew up a list of forty words, most of them of one syllable, and tested several classes, Nobody could spell all forty. Many of the kids couldn't spell ten of the words. Her experiment and her subsequent indignation were airily dismissed by a public school principal, who said something like, "Oh, we don't worry much about spelling any more. They'll learn to spell when they need to," Hogwash. What employer of any- thing but brute strength wants a semi -literate lout fouling up his invoices, order forms and everything he can get his hands on? What printer, for example, will hire a kid who can't even spell "etaoin shrdlu" and doesn't even know what it means? 1 do a fair bit of gnashing and wailing myself when I'm marking upper school papers and have to sort out some- thing like, "The women nu were she was going, as she when they're everyday," The thought it there, but there is something lacking when it comes to felicity of spelling. Everybody blames every- body else for the sad state Of English, but, as usual, you have to read it in this column to get at the truth, Let us establish the a priori fact that the high school English teacher is faultless, And, some would add, that a fortiori, the high school English teacher is useless, So be it, Now for the real culprits. They are not the elementary school teachers, much as we would love to blame them. They are victims, too, First, English had been derogated and eroded for the past couple of decades until it is now down somewhere in the area of brushing your teeth and saying your prayers. Remember, you older and wiser people who went to school longer ago than you care to proclaim? You had spelling and grammar and composition and reading and writing and orals, This was English. Maybe you didn't learn much about sex or conversa- tional French or how to copy a "project" out of the encyclopedia, but you sure as hell had English belted into you. Maybe you weren't given much chance to "express yourself", but by the time you were, you had some tools with -which to do it. Nowadays English is ELECrkOHOME &AUTHORIZEDd' FACTORY 4• „. `SALE PLUS BEAT THE SALES TAX INCREASE!! THE BLYTH STANDARD, April 18, 1973, PG.19, 1 aine shure what they meen practically crowded off .the curriculum by such esoteric subjects as social behaviour, getting along with the group, finding your place in society, and the ubiquitous and often useless "project", Kids, one teacher told me, shouldn'thave to learn to spell words that are not -in their own vocabulary, Now, I ask you, How else do they acquire. a vo- cabulary?. But, I repeat, it's not the teachers of our little treasures who are at fault, It's the tinkerers, the dab- blers in education, They are rarely found in a classroom. They are more often haring after some "new approach" in education that has been tried and found wanting by the Americans or the Armen- ians or the Aztecs, Thus, out went grammar and spelling drill. The kids are supposed to learn these basic skills, not through their eyes and ears, but in some mysterious way: possibly through their skin. Daily drill is deadening to - the spirit, so off with its head, , Let the kids be creative, write poetry: "I saw the moon ovary the cloweds it was sooner," Doesn't that give you a unique experience? The free- dom of spirit, the originality, the creativity? Fortunately, I am able to shake this off, along with war and famine, death and taxes, It has it's moments, The other day, 1 threw this old chestnut at a class, and asked them to correct the grammar: "Forty cows were seen, sitting on the verandah," There was total silence. It seemed OK .to them. Then a pretty Grade I1 girl flung up her hand and flashed all her teeth, "1 got it, Mr. Smiley!" "Yes, Bonny," 1 winced, Carefully she enunciated: "I seen forty cows sitting on the verandah."

Beiihat'heScene$ BY KEITH ROULSTON A few days ago one of our sub- scribers from Toronto dropped into the office andasked me: "What have you got against Toronto/1i My feelings for and against Toronto would take, more than a couple of minutes to relate so I didn't give her a very good answer. First of all, despite how it must appear at times, I'm not completely a Toronto hater, Having lived there for some time, I have many things I like about it. I have many fond memories of the years I spent there which I would not have,if I had -lived anywhere else. I was priviledged, for instance, to attend one of the best schools around in my particular field of interest, a school that.happ- ened to be in the heart of down- town Toronto. It was while living in Toronto that I discovered a love of the- atre, musical comedies in part- icular, and no city in Canada offers so much good theatre as Toronto. I loved browsing in the little shopping areas that have develo- ped in recent years in downtown Toronto and now and then mak- ing excursions out to the huge plazas on the outskirts of the city (which were much•less interest- ing). I liked being in the heart of the action and seeing people daily who normally I would only have seen on television or in the newspaper: poeple like newscaster Lloyd Robinson and David Crombie, now mayor of Tcronto but then only a humble college administrator, But there were other things I didn't like about the city, things that drove me out, seeking a better way of life. Most of all, I didn't like the lack of privacy, the feeling that you were never quite alone, and yet always lonely. Next, I think I disliked the lack of influ- ence as an individual. It's ironic to me that the 20th cent- ury has brought to the fcre as never In Macey the rights of the individual, yet at the same time has seen mcxe urbanization than ever before in which the indivi- dual has less power,than in less populated areas. Ina small town anyone who wants to can effect a change in the way things are done. In a city, changes are wroght by the few and the many must just accept it. I disliked the fact that many were in the city against their Bowling news The Clinton -Blyth Ladies rou- nded out their bowling season with a banquet held in the Blyth Legion Hall, April 10, A dei- cious meal was enjoyed, followed by a short meeting and the pre- sentation of the trophies, The high average was taken by Mary Davey 208, high triple went to Rena Kolkman 762, and high single was won by Joyce Taylor 314. The rest of the evening was spent playing cards and darts% will. For many residents, like the lady in question,the city was a welcome way of 'life. But others were there only because they needed a` job and the city offered them the only chance they had to get one. I don't know how many people I met in my years in Toronto that dreamedof getting away, back to the country where they came from. But they were trapped. Probably my pet peeve , in To- ronto was the high-rise apart- ment. No other city in North America has such a large prop- ortion of the population living in towering apartment buildings, packed in like so many caged - layers in a hen house, Again, I realize that for some people high-rise living is a preferred way of life, But in a city with as many high-rises as Toronto it is obvious that many are living there only because they have no other choice. Many, like my- self, were in a constant state of torment while living in high- rise, But with the average price of a house approaching $40, 000 who had much choice? Now that I am away from Tor- onto, the thing I like least is the way all news and views fed to the people of Canada is tain- ted with the Toronto point of view. Toronto is the media centre of fie country. Most of our television orginates there. The largest newspapers inthe country are there, Nearly all books published are published. there. All provincial govern- ment policies and a good many. federal ones are set through the eyes of Toronto -oriented politi- cians and beurocrats. For this reason we have ill-informed writers (like the ones who wrote editorials printed on page 3) who can exercise immence po- wer even though it is not a power for good. For this rea- son we have` the government foisting policies on rural areas that were designed for urban centres (such as centralized school boards). For this reason, we are brainwashed into think- ing that the only good things about Canada are things that happen in cities and that our rural way of life is doomed. We need cities in Canada if we are to enjoy all the good things of life. We need big cities like Toronto. But I re- ject the current notion that cities like Tcronto have a sort of devine right to keep growing. I reject the notion that if Toro- nto has improved by being big, it can get better by growing ever bigger. I feel that the whole country would be better off if the growth was channel- led away from Toronto (and Montreal and Vancouver) for a while and into smaller cities and towns so we have a more healthy balance of where our population lives. I fail to buy the argument, perpetrated by urban business men and politicians and prom- oted by the big -city media, that it is more economical to have big cities than small towns. I look instead at the cost of land, the cast of high- ways and subways and the high tax rate, and I wonder how that can be more economical. I feel that people in rural 4 If YOU ARELOOKING FOO Farrowing Pens Sow Tie Stalls.

Ont- ario or Western Canada have been sold a bill of goods and must begin to fight back, not just accept the `destiny -planned for ,us by urban decision makers, We 4must fight to build our own , way of life the way we want it. . Finally, my feeling about Toronto (and all other, cities) comesdown to a- personal choice. To me the best way oflifeis to combinethe best things about urban life with the best.things of rural life. Unfortunately for a person of average means, it is impossible to escape air and noise pollution in a large city and land casts are so high it is impossible.for most people to own their -own home to get pri- vacy. So my choice was to come to a place that had no air pollution or noise pollution and where anyone can expect to own a house of, his own someday. My choice'was to come to a town like Blyth where people cared more about the kind of life they lived than how tall the tallest building in town'was. For some, the best place to live is in the city. But for me, I'm glad I made the choice I made. - HURON BUSINESS` ':MACHINES; -:-T Sales • Repairs • Rentals of 'typewriters and ;adding machines 113 Ontario St Clinton '482.7338 It's t irn e book (you outside painting fobs now We're now eq u ip.ped AIRLESS SPRAY.
