That's partly the. reason that the Save The Jail Society wants to produce a documentary -type, r film about the jail for showing in and around the county to sti- mulate enthusiasm for the proj- ect. But Huron County Council's property committee had turned down the request of the film- makers prior to last Thursday's session and it was Goderich De- puty -reeve Stan Profit who raisei the matter in open council. Pro- fit was looking for a change in VOLUME 83 - No. 23 Cyt that decision and by day's end had seen it ... though it was hardly unanimous. During the Property Committee report, it was clear the jail was to "remain closed while the building program (at the Huron - Perth R egional Assessment Office) is underway". However, Profit requested that the local film makers be allowed to shoot their pictures prior to the beginning -of -construction at the assessment office, probably around the first -of July, " The "film"is nota glor#ication of the battlefor the wall," prot- ested Profit;.'"I fail to see why it couldn't be done." It is an effort on the part of these_people to try and help anyone promote the jail.

BLT plan's ahead With this year's .production barely completed, Blyth Little Theatre is beginning to plan for next year. , Gail Falconer, president of BLT announces a, meeting will be held Tuesday night in Blyth Public School at 8:00 p.m. to discuss next season's plans. All members of the theatre group and anyone interested in becoming part of . the group are. urged to attend this meeting. Wednesday, June 6, 1973. Coundll 3813 goii,cy. for sirelis cost sharing After a lengthy debate Monday night, Blyth Village council set a policy for meeting costs of future expansion. The policy calls for a charge of $200 be made for every home built on a new street constructed after June 4, 1973. The policy was arrived at after councillor William Howson stated he felt it unfair for the taxpayers of the village to pay for expansi- on of streets to make new build- ? ing lots available. At the same time councillor John.Manning said"he• felt the town needed to help promote development if it was to compete .for new housing with other communities. "If a new industry were inter- ' ested in locating here we'd give them some incentives", he said. "I think we have to do'a little of the same with residential areas." The discussion ended with the passing of a motion which will see a charge of $200 per home levied for.the building of new streets to service new housing projects, In this way, with the • fee being charged to the house on each side of a new street, the village taxpayer will not have to carry the burden of the street building and the homeowners will not have exhorbitant costs for having the street built. Council dealt at the meeting d with the proposed plumbing and building inspection system of the county health department. Cou- ncillors approved the idea of plumbing inspection but voted against the building inspection portion saying all housing built in Blyth already exceeds the minimum requirements under the building code. A delegation composed of Roy and David Button and Dan Mc- Innes of Dinsley street were pre- sent to discuss problems with the drains in the area. Council made arrangements to deal with the problem. A decision was made to invest surplus funds of the town at short term interest. Councillor Howson reported that despite efforts of council to speed the action, the engineers final report on renovation requ- ired to Memorial Hall has still not been received. He contact- ed the firm on Monday afternoon he said and had been promised the engineer would be in Blyth to do final work this week. Taxes will not be due for payment in Blyth this year until July 15 because of delays in set- ting the mill rate for this year. The setting of ;the budget and mill rate will be done at a spec- ial meeting later this month with the auditor.

Agreement.was-concluded last week with Grant Sperling for the -leasing of the former Lavin Insu- rance office near the Christian Reformed -Church as the new home of Toe Standard. No ope- ning date has been set as yet. The new office will allow room for new equipment for The Standard and is the first step in a major expansion program planned for the coming year. It will replace cramped quartets on Queen Street near Bainton's Mill which has been the home for'Ihe Standard since' last October. It will be the fourth home for The Standard in the past two years and readers can be excused if they are a "little confused. The management hopes the new loca- tion will be more permanent. The new location will event- ually include a small shop sel- ling locally produced crafts and other merchandise. An opening date will be announced later this month. 'Jong before construction beghs at the assessment office if they have the permission to go in," "It is a historical building," pleaded Reeve Ed Oddleifson of Bayfield, "It is older than Con- federation. The film should be made before the. jail is changed in any way. It should go on rec- ord as it is at the present time,' Oddleifson then moved that County Council give permission for the film to be made before construction got underway at the assessment building.. However, County Clerk -trea- surer John Berry indicated his belief that it was a decision for the property committee, not the whole of council. Reeve Oddleifson then sugg- ested that the motion could be changed to give the committee power -to -act, making it unnec- essary for the matter to come before County Council in June and thereby rushing the decision along. There was no answer from Mr. Berry and no reaction from Cou- ncil. "This money -making scheme," commented Reeve Harold Lobb, Clinton, "is it going to help Coderich?" Lobb is chairman of the County Property Committee. Profit answered that in his view it was going to help the jail which is the property of Huron County. "I wouldn't stand in the way of the film being made," said Reeve Lobb, "and I'd wager that no members of the commi- ttee would." Profit reminded him that the request to make the film had already been turned down at a meeting from which Lobb was absent. "It was eh!" mused- Lobb. Lobb went on to state that as long as only three people (direc- tor Brian Markson, photographer Ron Show and lighting technic- iai Brian Hall) were responsible for the production of the film ' and since the funds from the film would "stay in the county and help that jail", he could approve the film being made there. "If the property committee can have open house, they can let the picture be made, " said Reeve Hugh Flynn, Mullett. "Is every group going to be allowed in?" asked Reeve Allan Campbell, McKillop. "We've got to be fair with everyone." Reeve Oddleifson commented that this permission was for one group only and other would have to "go through channels" to ob- tain the same rights. Profit called the film making an example of "local initiative". "These people are trying to help," said Profit. "To reject them now because they gave us a little bit of a hassle a few mon- ths ago is unreasonable". "They're trying to set us to take back the jail," charged Deputy- reeve Frank Cook, Cl - ton. Reeve Everett Mcllwain, God- erich Township, wanted some assurance that the names of Steven Turscott and Nicholas Malady would not be mentioned in the production of the jail film. He was reminded that an outline of the proposed project contained assurance that there would be no portrayal of now -famous prison- ers once detained in the jail. During the portion of the me- eting devoted to motions, the matter came to a vote and was approved with only a handful of councillors showing their op- position by raising their hands. Also in the Property Committee report, it was learned study is being made into the possibility .of constructing steel steps up to Dunlop's Tomb to replace the present wooden ones. ".Estima- ted costs are high, however, and a full inspection of the site was to be carried out last Friday by the Property Commit- tee. In one of the lighter moments of the meeting, suggestion was made that County Health Officer .Dr. Frank Mills accompany the committee on its climb to test members for fitness upon reach- ing the top. 'THE SIXTH STANDARD, June 0r 1973, ElItoI'iaIs. A cheer for the little guy While Canadians have deep feelings for Britain, many Canadians these days seem to be cheering against Britain in the Coli War with tiny Iceland. Daily reports tell us of the latest events in the mini -war where Iceland tries to enforce a 50 -mile fishing limit off its shores while Britain tries to protect its fishermen who want to . 'fish on the rich fishing grounds of the area. Iceland's actions have been unilateral and seem to be forcing a crisis. Yet there is another crisis which has been building up for years and countries like Britain and Russia have been ignor- ing. Thipis the crisis of overfishing. Iceland has been victim of this indiscriminant harvesting of the sea by other nations for several years Icelanders have seen other nations threaten the livlihood of -many on the tiny island because they depend on fishing and the fish are disappearing. The actions of Iceland may have short term bad effects for Britain but in the long -run it is likely Britain and all the world will benefit from the actions if the Icelanders can stop the killing of the fishing industry. Canada faces much the same problems. Foreign fisherman on both the east and west coasts have been overfishing the' area for years and have put the entire future of the fishing industry in jeopardy. If they are allowed to continue their present course, Canadian fisherman will be put out of business and eventually the entire world will suffer because of a shortage of fish. If some nations refuse to show any responsibility, others are forced to take action to protect their own and world interests. Canadian fishermen and government officials will be watching the situation closely and hoping for Iceland to win out, They would like to extend fishing limits themselves to protect the fishing industry in Canada. Hopefully, they will give Iceland all the support she needs to win. Lots of luck, Jack Parents of children travelling on school buses will wish Huron M. P. P. Jack Riddell plenty of luck in his attempt to have a private members bill passed which would enforce better safety regulations on school buses, As Mr. Riddell points out, it is ridiculous that safety stand- ards are enforced on the family car while the school bus still has unpadded steel frames for seats, no seat belts and other un- safe facilities. Anyone who has travelled on a school bus in recent years knows they are little but steel shells on wheels with steel framed bench seats inside, It helps keep down the cost of providing bus transportation for youngsters, but it is poor protection in case of an accident. And with more and more children travelling by bus all the time, it is inevitable that ' there will be more bus accidents. Governments and bus manufactureres must take the blame for this state of affairs. -Members of the provincial government will be especially at fault if they fail to support Mr. Riddell's bill as they do so many private member's bills introduced by opposition M. P. P. 's. Constitution has faults Recent conference in Canada have shown the serious fail- ing of tie Canadian constitution to provide an effective bal- ance of power between the three levels of government. The effective lack of this power balance has seen the provincial governments become stronger and stronger, not necessarily in the best interests of the nation. Recently we have seen a federal -provincial conference on one hand and a tri -level conference involving federal, pro- vincial and municipal government on the other. On the one hand we have had the pmvincial governments raging at the federal government for more money, and on the other hand have heard the provincial government telling the municipal governments what to do. There are inequities in the taxation fields to be sure, as the provinces point out. The federal government has the ' ig share of the taxation field while the provinces- have less nd the municipalities very little. Yet if the provincial governments would stick to their own business and stop trying to constantly enlarge their powers, they could easily make do with what day have. Take cable television for instance. The federal government now has control of the system, yet the provinces are trying their best to wrest this control away. With the problems they already have, why do the provinces want more? There is one answer: a thirst for power. Federal money is not really needed at the provincial level. It is needed at the municipal level where the local councils need money to fight pollution, improve transportation, and provide the services that ordinary people need every day. Yet under the constitution, the federal government is forb id - den to stick its finger into the municipal area to help. All action must be done by the, province. It is a right all prov- inces have been jealously guarding. The combination of lack of funds and growing taxpayer demands for better service at the municipal level have helped the provinces gain a strangle hold over what goes on in nearly every city, town, village in township in the nation. It has allowed them to dictate terms to the local councils who need provincial assistance. It has even allowed them to abolish councils and set up regional governments without consulting the taxpayer. Something drastic needs to be done if this country is to remain healthy, but it seems unlikely it will be. The prov- incial governments, representing all political parties, have great power ani they want to keep it. There is little chance they will give up some of their power even if it is. for the benefit of the nation as a whole. tr{h.'•:•�•+•�$>�?�+'t:^<:'.;�>•2�:s.•:2:rt;,.y::t.,,;:•;:;ti�,tc....;r..Y:t`+^;rr;:�t"•:•Rk•$•`.'t;:} fir;::tt?; , fiy..i, t rh. t:a ; tiN& �.• . ,\ ..h t .{ti h . !n?•v 0. 2 .,••_•!}h•..6x}h�ca u:asrf} • :}3faSs} • ` ;iG$.•i'cS;u, THESE FLIPPINI GET HEAVIER ; JONSWI ti� 1 N11illilli }�>v 1 1 WATCH YOUR- MOUTH, WOMAN. r THEM ..1 IV/�F O� 1 M. fh1 - ARE AS.

What better time for the world to know that Princess Anne is to be married to her horse -riding soldier? There's something about a roy- al wedding ..;, or even a royal engagement .... which dazzles the imagination. It sets hearts aflutter in the same way as the fairy tales of childhood. But this time the princess is alive and the marriage is real: The- re's excitement in that. Anne's intended is a com- moner, though a wealthy com- moner it seems. That adds a dimension of romance which all British subjects appreciate. He's also handsome, athletic and very masculine, the exact characteristics that most wom- en look for and adore in men. Just to give you an idea of how old I am, I should tell you that I can readily recall when the Princess' mother was married. `I made a scrapbook of that wedding and somewhere in my attic it can be found as a testimony of the big play the newspapers gave that royal wedding. For weeks and weeks prior to the event, there were sketches of everything from 'the wedding cake to the bride's gown. There were lists of wedding guests, stories about the bride's trouss- eau, pictures of the happy couple as they walked (not too close mind you) in the royal gardens. And when the wedding act- ually did take place, the news- papers were literally filled to the brim with pictures and stories of absolutely everything. On the day of the wedding, I remember rising at five in the morning or some such un- thinkable hour, to hear the report on the radio. As I re- call, reception was atrocious, partly because the 'event was taking place across the seas and sound equipment wasn't up to. snuff and partly because the radio at home was on its very last legs. Of course, there is quite a difference between the young Princess (now Queen) Elizabeth and. Princess Anne. Princess Anne has had theadvantage of a swinging father who want- ed his children to grow up as far removed from the public eye as possible... and Anne,. bless her, is as much like the average young woman in love as a princess can be. From all reports, the demure Princess Anne can lay a Royal tongue-lashing on a body if she cares to and according to some newsmen and photograph- ers, she has oft done so. Not that I entirely _blame her. If some shutterbug was following me around waiting for my slip to hang out or my eyelash to fall in my soup, I'd not be in the sweetest frame of mind either. by SHIRLEY J, KELLER, I suppose now that t the en- gagement has been formally and properly announced, some of the heat will be off Anne and her handsome Mark. Now, at least, the two won't have to answer those foolish questions that some uncouth press types can ask like, "Is there any truth to the rumor that you two will be married?" or "Tell me Mark, does the Queen approve of you seeing her only daughter?" and "Princess Anne, would you be able to become the wife of a combat soldier?" . Funny thing about royalty. Many, many people pooh-pooh the idea of a Queen at the head of things, but just ,let her or one of her family make the suggestion of a wrong move • and everyone has something to say about it. It is almost as though they were public prop- erty - puppets without a w ill or a mind of their own. I'm not what could be called a royal family buff but I am content with a sovereign head. I get a kind of glow when I think that the little princess is now a woman, that she's taking a husband and making a home of her own. Itis rather like living a dream, But I wouldn't harrass the princess, I wouldn't put any demands on her. She's her own boss, She's a right to live her own life. If I get to peak once in a while - such as at her wedding - I'm satisfied and happy.

PG.3. ilopoti from queen's Party Riddell fights for safer buses BY MURRAY GAUNT, M, P, P, (HURON -BRUCE) The Ontario Hydro Committee continued its hearings this week, In a document tabled as a ex- hibit, Ontario Hydro was told five weeks after it agreed to have Canada Square Corporation build its new headquarters, by its sen- ior financial analyst, that the agreement did not ensure, as had been thought, that Hydro would share in any savings on construction costs. The. cost reductions would be passed onto Hydro in the form of lower rents only if the appra- ised value on completion ade- quately reflects that reduction, "Since the basis for appraisal is still subject to some doubt, there is no assurance that the saving will be passed on, any difference clearly being a surplus to Canada Square." The document was a confiden- tialmemorandum to Milan Nas- tich, Hydro's assistant general manager - finance, dated the 4th December, 1972, nearly five weeks after the agreement with Canada Square was executed by Hydro. Under the agreement, Hydro could require the developer to retain a firm of cost control consultants to determine wheth- er the project cost less than $44,400,000, In event the building cost less, 75 per cent of the savings would accrue to Hydro in the form of a reduction in the proplsed rent of $4.84 per square foot, Mr. Lamb's analysis noted d that the estimated construction cost of $34 per square foot "is slightly above an average value for office buildings today, and was the hig- hest of the proposals submitted by developers. Hydro Chairman George Gath- ercole, questioned about the projection of Commission arch- itect Ken Candy's calculation that Canada Square's "net cash flow per year" on the project' would be $192, 283", replied that this was a venturesome effort, "I look at it as being rather a shot in the dark", he said. Plans for regional government for Norfolk and Haldimand cou- nties were tabled in the Legis- lature, egislature, Treasurer John White said he will require full discussion of these plans in public before im- plementation, m- plementation, An Ontario Legislative Com- mittee has called for a mixture of laws and education to protect other people from snowmobilers, and to protect snowmobilers from themselves, The Committee called for res- trictions on their use on roads or by children, large numeral ident- ification, and exemption of snowmobilers from the protection of the Petty Trespass Act, Most use of roads would be phased out by July 1975, with the Province providing alternative trails on public land, Altogether there are 47 recom- mendations which would impose many restrictions on snow mach- ine owners and operators similar to those for a car, Any operator.who was on pri- vate property would be forced to stop if requested by the owner or occupant and produce ident- ification, licence and written permission to be on the land. Even where a snowmobiler had permission to use land, the owner would not be liable for injury unless he caused it mal- iciously, or unless he was char- ging a fee for the use of the land. The Committee received more than 300 oral and written presentations. THIS WEEK FOOD PRICES REVIEW BOARD NAMED Consumer Affairs Minister Herb Gray announced that Mrs. Beryl Plumptre of Ottawa, and past president of the Consumers' Association of Canada, has been named Chairman of the federal government's five -member Food Prices Review Board. Other members are Dr. Gordon Burton of Claresholm, Alberta; Grant Thompson of Halifax; Mrs, Evelyn Root of Vancouver and Louis -H. Lorrain of Bale d'Urfe, Quebec.

CANADA OUT OF VIETNAM External Affairs Minister Mitchell Sharp announced that Canada will withdraw its peace observer force from Vietnam by July 31, The government's de- cision was based on the fact that there has not been "substantial progress" towards peace. 200 MILE FISHING LIMIT Environment Minister Jack Davis said in St. Andrews, N.B. that at the United Nations Con- ference on the Law of the Sea, he will call for an extension of Can- ada's fishing limit. to 200 miles from the present 12 miles — this proposal' stems from the federal government's concern for Canada's coastal fishermen and the dwind- ling fish stocks.

Jack Riddell, Liberal MPP for Huron riding, has introduced a Private Member's Bill into the Provincial Legislature which would ensure safer schoolbuses for Ontario's students, Mr, Riddell's Bill attacks the prob- lem of school bus safety from •two directions; safer buses, and safer schoolbus drivers, "Let's consider the facts", Mr, Riddell said, "In a school - bus there are no seatbelts and and there are no padded armrests; passengers -must ofen stand while the bus is in motion; and most lethal of all, a steel bar runs across the top of each seatback at just the' right height to mutilate the face -and teeth of a child thrown forward by a sudden stop or collision. Passenger cars are required by law to have seatbelts and padding to give crash prote- ction but, by some bizarre reas- oning, such safety precautions are not required by schoolbuses." Mr. Riddell's 13111 would call for the Government to set stan- dards for schoolbus construction. He suggests that all schoolbuses in Ontario should meet CSA stan- dard D250 and also that auto mobile dash -type padding should surround the passenger seating area to provide crash protection. Mr. Riddell further c alis for more stringent and more fre- quent mechanical fitness inspe- ctions with supplementary ran- dom andom surprise spotchecks by Department of Transport inspe- ctors, Mr. Riddell's Bill also calls for higher standards for Ontario schoolbus drivers. The Depart-. •ment of Transportation is called on tbinvestigate the police and driving records of an applicant for a schoolbus driver's licence before granting such a licence.' Schoolbus drivers would also be required to take regular defen- sive driving courses, emerge- ncy first-aid training and a - course in practical, basic child psychology so that the driver can effectively administer dis- I 1 cipline and maintain order in his vehicle, "The requirements that i have outlined are not partic- ularly revolutionary," said Mr, Riddell, "They are only common sense and they are absolutely essential to protect those students who ride in schoolbuses. Every parent in I Ontario should be requesting Government legislation for provision for interior occupant protection and uniform safety practices, Whose responsibility is schoolbus safety? I believe it is the Government's and I believe the time to enact legislation is now."

The Empty Pew BY W. JENE MILLER There are people who need the church and there are people whom the Church needs. There are those in a desperate plight from lacking what it means to ask the meaning of life. There are the well who do not need to send for a physician, who need to BE physicians. Accusations of Il hypocrisyn are not aimed at individual church members, but at the in- stitution for promising what it is not willing to discipline itself to achieve. There are hard que- stions being posed by those who hear words like forgiveness, love, jos peace, hope and reconcili- ation, but who meet suspicion, despair, fear, and alienation. The church which hopes to claim the loyalty of people must develop an uncomprom- ising honesty about what its real talk is, and how to bring the he- aling, life, and freedom it prom- ises. There are too many church members who think the solution to their own salvation is to fire the preacher or choir director, rather than to learn to love and forgive, to grow and serve. They have been enslaved by the demon of negativism and can only com- plain and grow bitter in every si- tuation. They can tell you everything which is wrong with other people, the world and the very church in which they hope to find eternal life. But they An impressive service of Confirmation was held in Myth United Church on Sunday morning. Nine young people were confirmed on Profession of Faith and two families were received into membership by Certificate of Transfer. The families received were Mr. and Mrs, Larry Bolger, Mr, and Mrs. Gordon Caldwell, Linda and Jean, The young people received were Barbara Blake, Bruce Brown, Jean Brown, Cary Caldwell, Lorna Caldwell, Michael Hobo, Barry MacDonald, Catherine Madill and Brian Manning. Friends for life Green plants and trees are friends of life, quietly giving off the gift of oxygen. Silent friends we should get to know better. Survival is a delicate balance for treesjust as it is for all living things, Like people, trees need enough air and water, to survive,. They do not have lungs for breathing, but'there must be an exchange of oxygen and car- bon dioxide in the leaves as well as in the roots, Anything that disturbes that exchange kills the tree; Water-logged soil, for instance blocks off the tree's oxygen sup- ply and drowns it. There is not enough air in water 'logged soil, and most trees grow best when a fifth of the soil volume is filled with air. The best growth con- ditions are when water loss througl leaves is offset by water intake through the trunk against the tremendous force of gravity is one more of a tree's incredible triumphs. Curiously enough, the very centre of a living tree -- its core which is sometimes called heartwood -- is dead. The cells grow around this dead core, and the rings of growth tell the tree's age. The cells survive on the sugar made by the trees leaves., minerals taken up from the soil, and tremendous amounts of water. When conditions are right, some trees can live for three or four thousand years and grow as high as a 40 -story skyscraper. cannot tell you one thing about life that is worth extending into Eternity! The community of Faith which will build the future will be those who can say, "Yes" to life. It will be so committed that the numbness of fear and emptiness of rote -repetition will crumble before its awareness and intent- ionality. The Lord of Love will master its depressions, despondencies, desperation and despair, when the theological world restores its discipline of love, its clarity of vocabulary, its selflessness of service, and its vibrancy of hope.

C. L. WITTICH A few years ago, a respected sociologist, in an address to a group of clergymen, said that one of the most serious factors threatening the, security of our society and the whole world is the breakdown of trust. He said that people and groups no longer trust each other. If that is the case, and there is good reason to believe that much of what he said is true, then what can we do about it? One of our concerns as Christian is to build-up trust amongst people and in communities, There are at least five basic things that we can do, 1. Get the Facts: When a situation involving trust presents itself, we need to find out the facts of the case before forming our opinions. Prejudice and suspicion undermine trust and work against the interrelatedness of manking. 2. Speak the Truth: One a of the valid reasons for distrust is that we do not always tell the truth. If we would counter- act the doubts that arise towards, one another, then we must `. be absolutely honest at all times. St. Paul exhorted the Christians of his day, and an exhortation that applies to life today, !Put away falsehood, and let everyone speak the truth with his neighbour." (Romans 12;17) 3.. Speak to Communicate: The development of human re- lationships is dependent largely on the nature of the comm- unication between persons. Where there is meaningful express- ion of thought and feeling, we discover a growing sense of security and peace. 4. Act on Faith: Dr. Reuel Howe, a foremost counsellor in the area of personal relationships, says that in learning to trust others, it is net so much the person himself whom we are trusting, but God who is at work in that person's life. Man because of sin cannot be trusted. But the grace of God is seeking to make people more trust worthy. 5, Trust in God: Mankind has the inherent need to trust someone or something. There is One whom we can trust completely with our whole life and in every way. "Trust in the Lord," the Psalmist said. Our Christian lifeis one of learning how to trust in God, and of becoming participants with Him in building up trust in our world which is His world and which He loves.

One hundred and fifty residents and guests attended the Huron Centennial School Junior Talent Program in the auditorium on Monday afternoon, The Princi- pal, Mr. Mathers, was Master of Ceremonies for the afternoon with Mrs Carol LeBeau, junior musical instructor, as piano accompanist. Sixty-eight stud- ents took part in the program consisting of a vocal quintet, two vocal quartets, four vocal trios, 2 vocal duets, three piano solos, Hawaiian and step dances, trumpet, accordian, organ and Jew's harp instrumental solos. Fifty students formed a choir and sang several numbers to conclude an afternoon of fine musical tal- ent. Mr. Wilson Armstrong expressed the appreciation of the residents and was honoured by the choir singing Happy Birthday on the occasion of his 92nd Birthday, Mrs. 'Shirley Wheeler of Brus- sels arranged and introduced the variety porgram for Family Night, Two groups of young people from Brussels who have formed bands took part in the program, Teen- agers, Dale Wheeler, Murray Cardiff and John Elliott known as the Band and the Ding -A -Ling members include 'Julie McCall, Michelle McCutcheon, Susan Langlois and Carol Wheeler, Sandra Morrison and twin sister Heather and Connie Strike per- formed baton numbers, with piano solos by Vicke and Linda Machon, Mary Lynn Glew joined members of the Ding -A - Ling band for Scottish and step dance number's. One of our residents, Mrs. Gertie Jacklin, who is a great grandmother of several of the entertainers, thanked those taking part in the program on behalf of everyone. The regular Family Night program for June 7th has been changed to afternoon as the Usborne Central School is paying their annual visit to the Home at 1:30 p. m. Tuberous Vetchl ing new weed Tuberous vetchling, once a fo- rage plant in its native Europe, but now considered a weed, has been identified in scattered loc- ations across Ontario, Positive identification of the weed has been made in Victoria and Lam- bton counties and there is bound to be more of it around, says D.W. Gallaher, a soils and crops specialist with the Ontario Mini- stry of Agriculture and Food. The weed is a perennial vine of the vetch family, similar in habit and appearance to the sweet pea. Its long stems and thread-like tendrils wrap themselves around other plants for support and climb quickly. Flowers, appearing June to August, range from pink to violet with a sweet fragrance. The plant reproduces itself by means of tubers that form on the rootstocks. These tubers, about 1/2 inch wide and 3/4 to 1 inch in length, are black and shaped somewhat like a stubby carrot, Tuberous vetchling can be a damaging weed in field crops and is very difficult to control with present cultural practices. In corn crops, tuberous vetchling competes seriously, resulting in reduced plant vigor and lower yields. The weed can also be damaging in weak-strawed cer- eal crops such as barley. It not only competes for the nut- rients and water in the soil, but also, because of its growing ha- bit, pulls down the grain stalks. The crop lodges badly and the grain does not form. Control is extremely difficult since the chemical herbicides available will not work at nor- mal concentrations and have to be wed at such high levels that the crop is also heavily damaged. However, even the use of these herbic ides does not kill all of the tubers, Cultivhtion of fields where the tubers are present tends to spread them even further. Research is continuing in field tests and laboratories to come up with some means of control. Specialists from the Ontario Agri- cultural College and the Soils and Crops Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food are conducting experimental control programs on farms where tuberous vetchling is a serious problem. Mr. Gallagher asks that anyone who thinks there might be tuberous vetchling pre- sent re-sent on his farm contact their nearest agricultural office or the Soils and Crops Branch, Sunday visitors with Mr, and Mrs. Allan McCall were Mr. and Mrs. John A, Perrie and Mrs, Verna Somers and Pal, Mrs. Larry Badley has returned home from the Wingham Hospital, where she had been a patient for a few weeks following a tractor accident.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, June 6, 1973, PG.7. Despite problems B Lyth Little Theatre's .first show a success Considering the problems they have faced in the past year, the members of the Blyth little Th- eatre and of the cast of BLT's first production, Mystery at Green Fingers could be satisfied with the fact they even managed to present a production last week- end at Blyth Public School. The fact that they put on a good show that seemed to entert`+ Gin the audience is a special credit to the cast and to direc- tor Betty Battye. To be sure, the, performance would not have won any awards for excellence, There were many faults that members of the cast themselves realized, but they gave it an honest effort and gave us some good moments. Mystery at Green Fingers, is a musty English drama from the 1930's and although it gave the opportunity for a few laughs, the play did not do a lot to help the cast in their first production. 'The language is stilted and the action at times draggy and given even an experienced cast, it is not the kind of play that will leave many fond memories. The cast was also hampered by the fact they had never been able to practice on the school stage with the sets erected bec- ause the school was in use all week long. This showed in the fact the cast was much more polished in the use of the setting on Saturday night than on Friday. One thing the cast must learn and that is to relax more on stage. Most of the members of the cast are much more enter- taining off stage than on. They seem to get the jitters under the stage lights and revert to rather wooden characters, supressing their own warm personalities. It is the kind of thing they will learn through experience and should not be taken as too hard a criticism, One of the exceptions to this comment was the acting of Margie Phelan as Sally, the maid. Miss Phelan allowed her own personality to bubble into the part she played and made the scenes she was in come alive, Joan Campbell, as Miss Tracy, the amateur detective, also showed some excellent acting talent and no doubt will be one of the stars of the company in the years ahead, Mary McClure showed talent for delivering sharp one-liners but will have to work on her projection so they will always be heard by the aud- ience. Jo Cronin, Phyllis Street and Gwen Patterson, the other female members of the cast also added to the success of this first venture and show a good deal of talent which will no doubt be develop -- ed more as they gain experience., Clare Vincent as the defective detective was the most promin- ent of the male cast. He bum- bled and mumbled his way thr- ough the play in convincing ' manner. The easy-going lond- esboro resident, however, needs to learn how to express anger more convincingly. Jim Spivey of Brussels as Arn- old Jordan the French chef didn't seem very French but did a good job anyway, especially through the use of his flexible voice. Doug Whitmore as the barman who ends up as a villain and Hugh McClure as the hotels assistant manager showed talent that will do:• a great deal to ensure the future success of the BLT. Hopefully in the future, all members of the cast will realize the importance of knowing their parts backwards and forwards: their parts and not just their lines, It seemed they put too much em- phasis on trying to memorize exact words rather than the spirit of the part and when their mem- ory failed them, they were at a loss for words, As they become more experienced they may learn how to cope with momentarily forgetting a line and indeed many did well at covering up so theaudience did not know something had gone wrong, but anyone in the front row could tell the prompters were among the hardest working of all me • - mbers of the crew, Given the conditions under which they had to work, Bruce Falconer and Harry Lear are to be congratulated on the set. They were still putting the fin- ishing• touches to it on Friday night as the first of the audience was coming in the door. The biggest disappointment of the two nights has to be the support given by local residents. The audience the first night numbered 140 and was at least a respectable number, Attend- ance fell to 70 the second night however, rather disgraceful. To be sure, June is not the best time to be putting on such a production. Many left town for the beach a stayed home to work on the farm or in the gar- den, Others went to the Spring Fair in Clinton or to Festival '73 in Goderich, a show which also was reported to have been excellent, Those who did come, howe- ver, seemed thoroughly enter- tained which is all the cast is asked to do, Blyth Little Thea- tre had an excellent start and looks to have a bright future. Couple continues tour of Australia ED. NOTE: Hugh and Orlena Campbell, son and daughter- in-law of Mr. and Mrs. How-' and Campbell, Blyth have been on a working holiday in Aust- ralia for the past year. Here is the latest account of their adventure. May 8 Dear Mom and Dad, How are you both? We are still at the tobacco farm, but the first variety is all picked and we will be leaving soon. We have had some frost and the leaves of certain types of trees have changed colour and are gently falling to the ground. Yet everything else is still a nice green colour. We are planning on doing some sightseeing while in this area. Last week we went down to Werribee, 20 miles west of Melbourne to visit the parents of a lady I worked with at the University. They were very friendly people and invited us to spend the night. They live on the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works Farm. This farm handles all the sewage of Melbourne's two million people. The sewage is mixed with 98 per cent water then irrigated onto the land every 20 days, alternating paddocks. The farm covers 27,000 acres - and at the moment they have 24,000 cattle and 70,000 sheep grazing on the land. They took us for an interesting tour of the farm explaining everything as they went along. Before we left they loaded us . w ith tomat- oes, green and red peppers, fig jam, apple jelly and 'apples plus a pile of National Geo - graphics. So we have had our heads buried in the books. I guess more of the articles app- eal to us now since we are travelling. The next afternoon we head- ed off as we wanted to go to Healsville on the other side of Melbourne and meant driving through the city and not much idea how to do it. As we be- long to Automobile Assoc. , we decided .to ask for a pilot car to lead us: It is a free service and even with it we were one and a half hours getting through that rat -race city. Why anyone would want to live there is beyond me. We reached Healsville about 5 p. m. so we parked the van and settled down for the evening. We're certainly enjoying the con- veniences of the van. The next morning we went to the Wildlife Sanctuary, which really was full of cockatoos of all colours. A couple of birds called out "Hello, Hello" a bit amazed I replied "Hello Cockie" and wo- uld you believe they replied, "how are you?" They said that to each of us, We also saw our first platypus. We spent all morning touring the sanctuary, it was so good. We returned to the farm and on Sunday went for a drive, cli; mbing to the top of a hill over- looking the King Valley. It really is a beautiful place to live; We were able to decide where our tobacco farm was loc- ated. From there we went to a place called Paradise Falls also quite unique. There is so much to see around here, May 22 Dear Mom and Dad: We left the farm May 11 and it was sad leaving such a nice area and our friends. Then we attended Gayle's wedding on May 12th and a beautiful one it was. Very similar to our weddings, just a few things different. Well we spent -the next week packing and getittg ready for our journey. We have a roof rack made for our van. We sent all our surplus stuff home. On Friday we said good-bye to the Weidners again. We hope to return and celebrate Christmas with them in their new home. We headed north. Gayle's bridesmaid and husband invited us to spend a few days with them. They are a nice couple and we had an enjoyable stay. Another couple invited its out to their farm about 40 miles away. Their farm area is very different so flat with a red soil and I mean "red". One part he had seeded was 800 acres - all in one chunk. Altogether they (father and two sons) own 7, 000 acres and run 4,000 sheep. They aren't a wealthy family since so much of their money is invested back in the farm. We have never been welcomed more into a home than theirs. True farm people! We were very lucky when they took us for a drive around their property,' to see a mallee bird. They have become very rare in Australia. 'Their nest is very unusual, a mound of dirt resem- bling a volcano with sticks in the middle, about eight feet across, The ma lle e bird is similar in size to a small turkey. After three days with the bridesmaid and her husband we headed for the Blue Mountains about 100 miles from Sydney. We toured through the Jenolan Caves yesterday and they were excellent. It took one and a half hours just to tour one group of caves. It was almost like being in dreamland, very pretty at night with the lights. So to- day we are going to tour a bit more of the Blue Mountains. There is just so much to see. All our love, Hugh and Orlena.

The reasons for the move were outlined by James McGregor of Kippen and a member of the provincial marketing board for Huron County. The reasons for the move were purely financial. As the Clinton -yard had changed hands, an agreemen t had to be made with the new owner. The increase in cost, as demanded by the new owner were such, that it was unacceptable to the market- ing board, It would have meant an increase in the -region of 30 per cent over the old cost. In Hensall the board was able to leasefaciiities at the old cost, which is the average -cost across the province. The Huron County directors decided to look into the feasab illty of an assembly or sub -ass- embly yard in the Blegrave, Blyth, Londesboro area. Road construction costs up by SHIRLEY J, KELLER Prices of road construction are up this year from five to 10 per cent according to Huron County Engineer Jim Britnell. He noted the average cost of resurfacing per mile is about $14,000 and that the normal life of a road is from seven to 10 years although most stand up beyond that time. Contracts have recently been let to George Radford Construct- ion Ltd. for 39,000 tons of crushed gravel to be applied to Road 28 in Howick Township at $1. 00 per• ton, a total of $39,000; to Lavis Contracting Ltd. for hot mix paving , shaping and asphalt gutter on County Road 1 at Benmiller at a cost of $29,295.50; and to Lavis Contracting Ltd. . for hot mix resurfacing on County Road 12 between Seaforth and Walton at a total bid of $133, 532.50. In other business, council officially closed a road in Vanastra which was never open- ed, leads nowhere and present- ly has Conestoga College situated on it. Threshers plan for big 1973 show Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association Executive members met in Blyth Orange Hall Monday evening with.a good attendance. Fred Mote of Bayfield acted as chairman owing to the absence of chairman Don Snell who broke his leg two weeks ago. The minutes of the last execu- tive meeting were read and adopted on motion of George Brown and Bill Elston. The report on the acquisition of 300 feet of chain fence north of the main gate was given by Stan Lyon and the Secretary Simon Hallahan, who met with the Blyth council The council ag- reed to pay $40.0.00 towards the building of the fence with the Threshers doing the work. This wilisave a lot of work putting up snow fence every year and and taking it down as well as improve the look of the park. The report regarding the pony club's fence around the track was given by Simon Hal- lahan. An opening will be left south of the starting stand of about 60 to 65 feet which will be quite satisfactory. Arrangements for the meals for Friday and Saturday at $2.50 per plate has been confirmed by Mrs. Keith Webster of the Blyth United Church Women. Meals on Sunday will be taken care of by Huron and Perth Pork Produ- cers. It will be a pork barbecue. The Blyth Women's Institute will look after the booth. There has been wonderful co- operation from the above people of Blyth and the executive really appreciated it, as things looked bad.' for some time all spring. Plans were made for to set up a display in the Arena. It is hoped that the Blyth Board of Trade will help with this set up. The gates will be looked after by the Threshers themselves and it was thought the Blyth Firemen would park cars. If not the Club 18 at Tiverton would. George Bailie was to look after this, • The question of graveling the track to the buildings has been arranged with George Radford as soon as, it is dry enotgh. A number of those attending the . meeting looked over the grounds and it was planned to clean up the fence bottom along the west side of the park. George Bailie said that there would likely be some fill available from the street work this summer, the members'.thought if this could be arranged it would be nice to fill the low part of the park south west of the saw -mill. Stan Lyon was to look after this. The next meeting will be June 16 at 8 p. m. in the Blyth Orange Hall. A letter will be going out to the members to attend this important meeting to arrange a work bee and repair some of the equipment and cut up the work. The group would also appreciate those who are inter- ested in the show to attend this meeting.. The chairman and secretary of a Threshers group fromMitchell came to Blyth two weeks ago looking over the park but -was not interested in Blyth as it was to small. They have thought they would start in Mitchell anyway if- the local group wanted to take any part with them. However, the Huron Pioneers agreed to stay in Blyth as long as possible if they can' get help to keep going.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter Forester, Cathy and Darinda of Ripley VON give wide range of nursing care Although Mrs. Janet Bradley has been employed with Vict- orian Order of Nurses since last September, she feels the service in this part of Huron County is just becoming recognized as vital and helpful. It was due to the introduction of the Home Care Program in Huron that the VON came to Huron in 1971. The service here is a branch of the Stratford VON which commenced at the turn of the century - 1908. Mrs. Bradley is one of three part-time VON staffers in Huron who works with one full time VON stationed at Clinton. The other nurses are in Wingham and Seaforth districts. Mrs. I3radley's area runs from Goderich to Amberley north. She puts in an average of four to six hours each day as well as every other weekend. The services .of the VON must be arranged through the family doctor or through the Home Care Program. Of course infor- mation about the programs un- dertaken by the VON is available from the VON answering services in Clinton, 482-3447. Fees for the VON are adjust- able according to the patient's ability to pay and no one is re- fused service' for financial reas- ons. - Mrs. Bradley reports. that her work entails many aspects of nursing although the greatest need is for assistance to diab- etics, either new or others in some say handicapped as far as administering insulin is concerned; changing dressings for patients at home following surgery etc; and bathing elder- ly folks who are unable to care for themselves in this way. Miss Margaret Wood, nurse in charge of the VON Perth - Huron branch says, "The Perth - Huron branch of the VON is deeply invloved in the well- being of those who live in the communities we serve." "Home nursing care," says Miss Wood, "the developing use of "" nurse practitioners!! as a new kind of right hand for the medical profession, -the special care nee—: ded by senior citizens - all are' part of accelerating changes in the health care field." "The kinds of service available from the VON are not always generally known by those who need them," said Miss Wood. "We do not ask for publicity for the VON as such, but for the services which the Order has been able to provide to many people who need them," and Mr. Donald Bowers of Che- sley visited on Sunday with Mr, and Mrs, Alex Robertson. Mrs, Len Jarvis of St. Cathe- rines spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs, James Coultes, Miss Marlene Walsh of London spent the weekend With her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Jarvis Walsh.

Coultes; novel- ty man, Mark Armstrong; and low man, Cairn Aitchison. The next party will be in the fall. A cover-up job with vines For screening an area, providi- ng shade on a porch or covering a fence, climbing vines could be the answer. These annual or perennial plants come in many different varieties, colors and growing habits, says R.F. Go- mmehorticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Some of the ma t popular annual vines are morning glory, sweet peas and scarlet runner beans. These easy -to -grow vines can be purchased as young seedlings or grown from seed. Silver lace vine, climbing honeysuckleclematis, trumpet vine, Virginia creeper, and Boston ivy aro some of the more commonly used perennial varie- ties. Sometinies perennial vines can be slow starters, but within one or two seasons, they can grow to screen a patio or spread over a fence, MEDICAL NOTICE Dr. Ping and Dr. Wilkin§ wish to announce that they have joined with Dr. Clark and Dr. Leahy for rotation duty for night calls from 6 p;m. to 8 a.m., weekends, Saturday until Monday morning.

Listings on Farrnri Homes and Businelea As I write, the Watergate hearings are in progress and that word is entering the lan- guage as a synonym for scan- dal and skullduggery, Canadians are having a whale of a time doing what they like ver}' much, — look- ing down their spotless noses at the Yanks, 1 guess we've forgotten our great home-grown scan- dals involving Canadian gov- ernments, both provincial and federal. Sonie of the fan- tastic rip-offs made by such outfits as our railways and the Hudson Bay Company make the Watergate look like peanuts. And then there was the Beauharnois affair, a piece of piracy that made many a Canadian politician feel like looking for a hole to crawl into, . . • And let's not forget the Dupiessis era in Quebec, where votes were bought and sold like potatoes, ballot boxes stuffed, and strong- arm tactics used at election time, Nope. We can't afford to look down our noses at any- body. All we can or should do is shake our heads and remember, "There, but for the grace of God , , ," Of course, Watergate is somewhat different in that it's involved the use of police state tactics in pursuit of unbridled political power. That distinguishes it from traditional political corrup- tion which has usually been motivated by a love of "booze, broads and bucks", Perhaps the saddest aspect of the Watergate affair is that nobody is spilling the beans because of conscience or lofty principles. They are telling all because they are on the hot seat. It's every man for him- self as those involved try'to save their own necks. A bunch of finks scrambling for safety, At the same time, one must admire the U.S. pro- cess of probing for the truth, regardless of who gets hurt, I wouldn't want to be up in front of those tough senators for anything more serious than spitting on the sidewalk, How would Canada ban - 'die such a situation? Well, first the government would appoint a Royal Commis- sion, which would inves- tigate in near -secrecy, The Commission would require three years to complete its job, by which time nobody would be interested, It would then publish its report, which would be almost unreadable, A few weary editorials would be written, a few pro- fessors who could wade through the Commission Report would make speeches and the whole thing would then be buried. As a good many observers have pointed out, the Water- gate airing of soiled linen may be the best thing that has happened to the U.S. demo- cratic system in generations. When you are con- stipated, you take a purge. When you've swallowed poison and want to throw up, you take an emetic, Perhaps the Watergate will serve as both. Regardless of how many heads will get the chop, and to whom those heads belong, it is comforting to know that our great neighbour will heal _ itself, spew out the poison or cut out the cancer, and get back to work. And it will Ithas,survived Senator Joe McCarthy's witch-hunts, the lying about spying on Russia, the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and many another, not to mention a dis- gusting and disastrous war in Asia, It is also comforting to know that there are still countries in the world where powerful public figures can be brought to account. It Study to be in Huron by SHIRLEY J. KELLER A pilot project in Huron County to cost $110,450 was given approval at last Thurs- day's session of County Council, The study of Urban Develop- ment in Rural Areas will be financed on a cost sharing basis with the Province of Ont- ario paying 80 per cent and the County of Huron, 20 per cent. It will look at the desirabil- ity and effect of non-farm development in rural areas and is the first of it kind in Ont- ario. The tax review committee comprised of Chairman Charles Thomas, Garry Ginn, Cecil Des jardine, Joe Kerr, Deb Shewfelt, Frank Cook and Warden Roy Pattison is meet- ing regularly now. Plans are to make recanmendations. based on the findings of the committee in the field of. welfare, library and health. - "The committee proposed to detail a comparison in costs between population basis versus assessment basis for these three mentioned services," reported. Thomas. During the brief discussion, Reeve Anson McKinley of Stanley Township applauded the recent provincial budget which gave a 50 per cent tax rebate to farmers but de- plored the resource equaliza- made tion grant which "treats the land as a taxable 'resource to be equalized". "A lot of strange formulas will come out of Toronto in the next couple of years," predicted John Berry, clerk- treasur er. The county is giving a grant of $1, 000 to the Victorian Order of Nurses whose services are now available county -wide. This grant carries with it a condition, howeverthat the • • VON does not "solicit funds from the local municipalities in Huron County". University of Western Ontario scholarships of $100 each were awarded to Miss Terri Louise Paul, R.R. 1, Kirkton and Donald Thomas Jolly, Exeter. As well, a $100 scholarship was awarded to Robert Rowe, R.R. 1, Exeter, a student at Ridge town College of Agricultural Technology. Only good swimmers learn skin and scuba diving.

And it wouldn't hap- pen in many a so-called democracy, On the other hand, the average Joe in the States must be becoming a little sceptical, to say the least, He has been lied to and lied to. He must be wondering whether he can believe any- body any more, I know I would be, There's nothing new in powerful leaders lying to the people they are leading, Hitler lied to the Germans, Mussolini to the Italians, Sta- lin to the Russians. Unfortunately, their lies were.not discovered by their peoples until the damage had been done and the world was staggering back from the holocaust they unleashed. This time the truth is com- ing out, haltingly, so that the damage to a nation and a nation's pride may be halted before it becomes irrepara- ble, Let's hope so, And let's hope the Ameri- cans come out of the sordid little mess, smelling of vio- lets and ready to get back to the real problems they must solve: inflation, pollution, integration. They're great solvers of problems, and they have great problems to solve.

Building inspection ,system hits rough road by SHIt1.EY J, KELLER County -wide plumbing in- spection is - a matter of no small : concern for members of Huron County Council, and reeves and deputy -reeves are not entirely united in their feelings concerning it. Chairman,- Garry Ginn re- ceived permission for the Board of Health to circulate question- naires among the municipalities to determine the -feelings of the elected officials and the people they represent, but there is still some concern about plumbing inspection, its cost, its importance, its area of jurisdiction. For the most part, councillors who are apprehensive are conc- erned about costs. The scheme as presently proposed is to be financed on a "user pays" basis • and it is hoped the fees for insp- ection will carry the salary of the staff. It was explained the first year would be a "growth period" which would be financed by the county, but based on 400 new residences in Huron per annum it is felt _the program would soon support itself._ Dr. Frank Mills, Medical off- icer.of Health for Huron, told coouncil that plumbing inspections by the county.were discontinued in 1970 even though the bylaw is still in effect. He, noted that in. the past, many cases escaped inspection and a new plumbing inspection scheme would endea- vour to cover all construction in the county. At the present time, however, Huron County has no qualified plumbing inspectors, Dr. Mills, said. Derry Boyle, Exeter reeve and a former chairman of the Board of I- alth, said the government pays a 50 per cent subsidy, on the sal- aries of sanitary inspectors but "not five cents for plumbing ins- pection":- Boyle ns- pection":Boyle said that the'county should either pressure government to provide subsidy on plumbing Behinfl thO SceneS BY KEITH ROUISTON • As time goes on I get more and more hooked by the the- atre, Having been involved in a small way with the Blyth Little Theatre production of Mystery at Green Fingers I find I get a little more of the theatre in my blood all the time. Not that I' m refracting my earlier promise in this column several months ago that I wouldn't be parading around on stage. • I'm still not hooked enough to want to be an actor. But I must admit I enjoy being around a production working in the background. I have a great deal of admir- ation for people like Joan Camp- bell and Clare Vincent and the rest of the cast of the Mystery at Green Fingers. They put in a lot of hard work in the past few months to be able to put on a show for the people of Blyth. It's a shame for their sake that so few people came out to see the production. it's been an unbelievable year for the Blyth Little Theatre and the fact that she is still sane at the end of it all means Gail Falconer, president of the Little Theatre deserves a great deal of credit. Gail was the one who got the ball rolling last.fall to start the theatre group` The idea was to use the newly redecorated Blyth Memorial Hall. The problem of a lack of fireescapes in the hall quickly came up and squa- shed any ideas of presenting a play before Christmas. Then after Christmas with plans for the fire escapes on the drawing board, the problem of poor wir- ing in the hall came up. That almost finished the theatre gr- oup. Many were willing to give up but Mrs. Falconer and other stalwarts kept plugging. Arran- gement was made to hold the play at the public school and a good thing it was for as soon as the wiring problem was licked there arose problems over the structure of the old hall. Use of the school was good, but tt had its problems. There was the fact that the stage at the school is used as a classroom, so sets could not be put up be- fore the night of the first play. Town council allowed the group to use the old theatre free and they were able to put up their sets there to get a little familiar with the way things would be. But on the night of the play they were performing for the first time on the school stage with the set up. Quite a challenge fcr a group that had either never acted before, or was doing so for the first time in many years. They did darn well under the circumstances. They surprised me with how well they could act, 'especially considering few had any, experience. They also scar- ed the heck out of me to the extent you couldn't drag me out on the stage to perform with - them. They were good enough that . I'd never like to be compared to the in. I think the Blyth Little Theatre will be very good in the future, when (and if) they ever get into Memorial Hall where they will get a decent chance to practise where they'll play. Whatthey need is a few more people int- erested in getting involved in acting and the work that goes into producing a play. Hope- fully in the future we will be, seeing the most entertaining shows around in the best theat- re around. Russell Wilson recently loaned me a copy of the East Wawanosh history book put out some years ago. I read with interest in it about the history of Donnybrook, especially the old Donnybrook fair held a century ago. I'd like to know more. Does any- body out there have anymore stories about the history of the event? We'd like to hear them. inspections or "drop it complete - 1Y".• John Flannery, ,reeve of Sea-, forth, charged that plumbing inspection would increase the cost of plumbing by as Much as 25 to 50 per cent because of the loss of time. Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township expressed his concern for the "disgraceful" situation at the Listowel lagoon. • He not- ed that government officials would "rather not talk about it" and he asked Dr. Mills for an updated report on the matter. Dr. Mills said the promise ex- ists that by 1975 Listowel will have, a complete sewage system, but he noted that "people push- ing it in the House" is still of vital concern. He said Huron M. P.P. Jack Riddell was fully aware, of the situation and was endeavoring to do his part to keep the matter current at Que- en's Park. Dr. Mills noted the responsi- bility lies essentially with "the environment people" who will provide the money for changes at Listowel. Bacteria counts taken in the Maitland River are "so far satis- factory", reported Dr. Mills, He said chlorination of the effl- uent at the lagoon is a possibil- ity and "will help". "It is better than it was two years ago," said Dr. Mills who added that the spraying technique at the lagoon will be continuing this year. 3C's hold final weekly meeting The Blyth 3 C's met on Wed- nesday, May 30 in the school at 8:30 p. m. The meeting opened with the pledge and roll call showed a gain of two pounds and a loss of five. Hanny Meier was both Queen of the Week and Queen of the Month . Winners of the three-month weight losing contest were Hanny Meier, Mary Hunter and Eileen Barrie in that order. The group will only meet once a month during the summer at the school at 8:30 p. m. The next meeting will be on June 20.
