Standard wins ' 2 national awards The Standard was named recipient of two national awards for excellence at the annual convention of the Canadian • Community Newspaper Assoc- iation held in Calgary on the weekend. The awards were in the Better NewspaPer competition spon- sored by the association, The Standard, entered in the com- petitibn for the first time in many years was awarded second place for the best editorial page in Canada in newspapers of 1500 circulation or less and *took. third place in general excellence in the. same circul- ation classification, The awards cover newspapers published during ,.1972, • The only other area news- paper to win awards' in the competition was the. Clinton News -Record which gained a third_ place for general excell- ence, third for editorial page and second for front page in the under '2500 circulation class. Keith Roulston, publisher of the Standard was editor of the News -Record until June 1972. TH>r' BLYTH STANDARD, Aug, 22, 1973, zzy thinking What. is it 'about food prices that causes people to become irrational? • Things have been going from bad to worse lately because of the attitude' of people to the rising costs.. There ` are rumblingagainst the government, farmers and manufacturers'' and just 'about anyone in sight on whom the consumer can take his frustrations out, There are cases, of course, where the consumer has a valid point, Some producers, manufacturers or retailers are gouging the public, .But in .many, cases the increased prices have real causes, and are •the result of; supply and demand, The higher' prices here are a part of world-wide problems that are affecting the M., , Britain and Europe as bad or . worse than Canada, - 'And these shortages are real, 'A furniture dealer we talked -to waited months for an order to be filled, An appliance dealer had the chance to sell goods, but he couldn't get them from the factory because of a steel shortage, Many houses built this summer will be without bricks for some time because the bricks just aren't available. Paper is in such short supply that Weekend and The Canadian maga- zines aga- zines will not be printed this week. Yet people continue to protest the prices and grumble against the government. Reacting to this, the New Demo- •. crats and Conservatives have jumped on the bandwagon and have demanded government action, The Conservatives claim a wage and price freeze is needed, This is a possible solo- , tion to inflation, BUT we are not facing inflation but shortages. Price controls will not produce more beef or steel or bricks, In fact it may discourage businessmen enough to have the opposite effect .as it did with farmers in the U.S. and cause greater shortages. The N, D, P. doesn't even have a weak idea like the Conservatives to offer. They simply demand action and leave it to the government to come up with the solution, There is only one solution, however, and the government can do little about it. The solution is time: time to in- crease production and solve the shortages. Hopefully, the government in its minority position, w ill not be bullied into hasty action by the press, opposition parties and some vocal groups in society. The wrong move right now could really get us in a fix. A waste of TV time Those who watched the long-awaited speech by United States Preside't Richard Nixon on the Watergate affair last Wednesday night, seem in general agreement he wasted his. time writing the speech, our time: listening, and valuable network primetime in his own nation and around the world. , It's hard to know why people looked forward to the speech with such interest. Mr. Nixon had already made it obvious in his previous actions that he wasn't about to shed any blinding insights into the affair if 'he could help it. His refusal to co-operate with his own special prosecutor and the Senate's special committee gave us all the hints we needed to know that he was going to keep everyone in the dark as much as possible. His constant references to putting Watergate behind and . getting down to business gave just as big a clue to what his speech WOUID be about. And just as it was blatantly obvious what Mr, Nixon would and would not talk about in his speech, the reaction of the viewers and listeners was obvious long before it was sampled by the pollsters. Two polls in the U.S. on the weekend showed that the audience in large numbers did not believe the President's arguments that he was not involved in the planning or coverup of the break-in. More than half did not buy his argument on why he should not release the Whitehouse tapes. Of all parts of the speech, the part on the tapes was probably the weakest. His lame excuse for not allowing the tapes to be heard by the investigators was that the "resident and his advisors must be able to talk; in strictest secrecy. If his advisors di.1 not know that what they said • would never go beyond the walls of the room, he said, they would not be free in presenting their ideas. Yet he shot holes through his own argument by the very fact he installed thr secret recorders in the first place. His plan was to use the tapes to prepare his own memoirs after he retires in 176. Obviously he wanted to be able to r.ccurately reproduce conversations in his offices for the pub- lic. And the fact the tapes are now well-knbwn means his advisors should already be inhibited from freely expressing their ideas in his presence. Besides, only a handful of people will know what he tapes say if he co-operates with investi- gators. • Mr. Nixon probably did himself more harm than good in his speech. For anyone who watched the speech with the least bit of detachment had to have more doubts about the innocence of the President when he finished than when he started. The insistance of the President that, in effect, he is above the law and doesn't have' to answer questions posed by the public, the press, the courts and Congress leaves little other choice.

KELLER • . If you are blessed with good neighbours as we are blessed with good neighbours you will -appreciate the line which this column will follow this week. My philosophy about neigh- bouring was developed on the advice of my husband and long years of experience. I've found that neighbours should not become too chummy. I've discovered it is best not to have an 'on -the -doorstep -all- . the -time' type relationship.. It wears thin very' fast and . • . often.leads to unnecessary, problems. • For my. money, good neigh- bouring consisting of coffee occasionally, special favours sometimes and Christian con- cern always. That's been my way of doing things for, a while now, and I believe it to be the best way. So, this is the kind of neighbouring attitude that has. passed between our nextdoor neighbours and us. And this week,- it was put to the test in one of the most dramatic series of events you're ever likely to see. If neighbours can survive this, they can survive anything. It all began on a Saturday afternoon - late - when my husband discovered the sewers were not acting properly. We were getting sewage water in our basement and there was sewage water standing in the yard. A plumber was summon- ed and he promised to drop by during the weekend to check- out the situation and to advise of the proper procedure. By Sunday evening, it was evident the sewer was blocked and would have to be dug up' to find the problem. Also on Sunday evening, • our yoangest son dealt the first blow on the neighbours. "It was a beautiful -hit,11. he tried to explain. "It was the first time this .year I've really hit the ball like that. It -went high and far... right through the neighbour's upstairs .window:' My husband. went Immediate- ly to the neighbours to offer to make restitution for the damage. They were most un- derstanding and there was no real concern over this unfort- • urate. accident. The next morning, the • plumber arrived with his work crew. The' digging began: Other than cutting offs our new- ly installed television cable, the job went smoothly.. . until the problem was plain. Our sewer pipe, which by the way goes right through the neighbourtis basement about eight inches off. the floor, was plugged at a trap within ' by SKR LEY j. KELLER. the neighbour's.,basement. The trap -would-have to be opened and 'drained, we were told. My nose. began to crinkle . as it was explained •that a large hole would have -to be -chopppped. in the neighbour basement floor' and the sewage from' the trap dumped into it • for pumping outside. The dastardly deed didn't take long. .-.'but the memories lingered•on and on and on., Once the trap had been cleared, things began to work normally but it took my husband and me several pails of hot water with ;disinfectant- and a good deal of;hosingrind mopping to return' fragrant air - to that household. - But the problem had not ended. This is' now the third . day since the dumping opera- tion and the' seal on -the sewer; pipe which passes_ through our neighbour's .basement is still not properly -set. The ,neighbourls floor is constantly wet and smelly. They can't use their plumbing. We can't use our plumbing. The plumber is busy... and growing short -tem- pered I suppose. . , To make matters worse, our neighbours are planning to leave on vacation this weekend... providing things have dried up! In the meantime, the neigh- hour's wife can't do her laun- dry in preparatign for the trip .. , and I' m going bonkers over . the inconvenience of it all, • The plumber is returning today, With any luck at all, the problem willbe'z.licked:-= this morning. I've just"spoken with • my : neighbour and• she tells me the family's; surviving • nicely, our friendship's still as solid as it was last week and once they get back from vacation we'll have a night out together, just to prove it. As. F. D, Roosevelt 'once . said; In the field of world policy I would dedicate this nation to thg policy of a good neighbour. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Indian seaport 5. European river 9.

TODAYS CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO NE SYNDICATE English, Irish and Scottish in descent, Geordie, five, is healthy and active, lie has light brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin, An operationhas corrected a turned eye and he wears glasses to maintain the correction. He is a light sleeper, always waking early. Geordie is curious and adventurous. He is full of questions and likes to go exploring. He mixes well with other children, being happy to visit or be visited, but is not keen on rough games. He'd rather ride his tricycle. Geordie is considered to be of average intelligence but his performance in kindergarten was below average. This youngster is perhaps abit immature and it takes him a -while to get accustomed to anew routine, like school, He is usually co- operative with adults, however, and responds well to kind ex- planations„and firmness, Geordie needs warm, understanding parents who •w ill give him stimulation without pressure, firm guidance and a great deal of individual attention. Itis especially important that his adopting father will enjoy sharing many activities with his small son. To inquire about adopting Geordie, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2112, For general adoption information, please contact your local Children's -Aid Society, HE ISADVENTUROU Yours truly, A Resident of -the Area, ED, NOTE: You've already said it so well we don't have to.

Toronto, is . about the .play, The Farm Show and includes interviews with people in' the district and shots of the countryside, . Being shot in 16 mm, .the film is expected to be from one to two hours -in length, and will .be released this fall, Paul Thompson, Passe Mur- aille director said he 'hoped the film would be premiered in the Clinton-Blytharea in the near future, The Farm Show was a play the Toronto Theatre group assembled while they stayed on the Ray Bird farm in God- erich Township last summer. The play subsequently opened. to rave notices in Toronto and last April and May it returned to tour the area, It also became the first Canadian written play to be aiipreme sacrifice for their country and community. Being that there are not too many of our First World War veterans left I presume that the community seems to have forgotten those who have ser- ved their country in time of war. If the community does not see fit to look after this mem- trial and are worrying about spending a few dollars (which is a mere triff le to what some of these veterans have paid) to keep this hall in shape or perhaps prop it up till it coll- apses, I feel quite sure that • if the mun icipality would ;aged on the Stratford Shakes.. pearean -Stage in 10 years, Last Monday, August 20 the play opened at the `prestigious National Arts Centre in Ottawa fora_two week stand, -Director Thompson said that the group had spent this summ- , er in Cobalt, Ontario interview- ing people there an(' wrltting a play about the north much the same way as they did in Clinton, The . play, called "Under the" , Greywacks' will open in Toron-.. to September 19 and Mr. Thompson said he hoped to tour the play in the small towns in southwestern Ontario next spring, much like they did last spring, Mr. Thompson said that Passe Muraille were also work- ing ,on a play about the in- famous Black Donnelly mass- acre in Lucan, Mr. Thompson added that the group had re- ceived an 1,800 Canada Coun- cil Grant their tour last spring, Should area theatre and film buffs miss the local premiere of The Farm Show film, the reels will be available froni the Canadia_n Film Co-op in Toronto. cchange it for the hall that the local Legion Branch has that they would look after it for those who so valiently fought in France during the First World War for peace and freedom of our country.

Such sloth is fool- hardy, says R.A. Fleming, horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Roses need special care during the hot days and cool dewy nights of August and early Sept - .ember. These are perfect conditions for such afflictions as black spot disease, and mildew to develop. Aphids make the most of these conditi- ohs as well Resist the lure of the lawn chair and continue to spray roses with a good fungicide. It is important that the fungicide con- trol both black spot and mildew, so read the label carefully. Add Malathion to your spray --being careful to follow the manufact- urers' instructions --for control of aphids and other troublesome rose pests. • Most of the rose dusts or sprays at local garden centers contain the necessary ingredients for ef- fective disease and insect con- trol.

Included in 'the food cost increase -are industrial wages for the packers and the increased capital cost for the packers and retailer, which i s passed on to you, the con- sumer. Industrial workers increased their income by 57.8 per, cent in the same 'period, At the same time cost to farmers for machinery and other inputs went up as fast as his receipts, so his net income for 1972, which was a good year for the farmer averaged $4900. This includes the retu.n on his in- vestment., If the investment is $100 which is average, and he figures 4 per cent return on his investment, this amounts to $4000. This leaves him $900 per year_ for his labour. Nevertheless, the government sees fit to put a limit on ex- ports, thereby. Jeopardizing hard won markets and taking away $7 per hundred weight of beef , from the already hard,- _sled farmer. - - Thanks for nothing Liberals, thanks for nothing NDP and PC for pressuring the govern- ment. *k*** Less than 70• per cent of the money spent in supermark- ets goes for food, 5 per cent fcr household supplies, 1.2 per cent for pet food, _4 per cent for tobacco, .12 -per; cent for general' merchandise; 5 per cent for alcoholic beverages, 2.2 per cent for soft drinks and 1 per cent for 'candy' and chewing gum. Did you ever figure out what- of your grocery money went to non-food. items? ***k** Why all the screaming about higher food prices when there is no outcry about housing costs? These went up much more than food prices, and clothing costs went up more than 37 per cent. These are considered; the three essential items for life. ***** All regulations concerning pollution,. granted many are ' good, cost the farmer more. money to produce. food.' Live- stock odour suppression, the ban on DES and DDT and higher land prices because of urban encrouchment. Should the! farmer be ` expected to bear those costs by not raising the price of his product or should call society, that benefits by it, share those added costs? Keep those pigs cool Water -spray cooling is a practice more swine producers - are looking into during periods of hot summer weather. Garnet Norrish, swine specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food,' points out that pigs will perform -better when they are comfortable and cool, Studies have .shown that market pigs actually stop growing when n air temperatures 'reach 85 to 90 degrees. - They will continue eating, but at a reduced rate -and with greatly reduced efficiency. - - At the'Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, researchers conducted a water- -cooling- experiment with mar - ket pegs. It was found that -growing-efficiency was better in the' sprayed pigs than in those not sprayed. In addition' - it was found that more labor - was required -to keep the .un- sprayed pigs clean.. -Barrows received more benefit from -spraying than gilts. - Ir: a Universityof Guelph study, water -spraying to cool sows improved conception rates of the sows sprayed as compared to others that were not sprayed. The use of water -spray cooling is very practical for producers -- and the cost is reasonable. Use the finest nozzle available, such as the hype used on boom -type spray- ers for crops.- These cost about. $2. 00 each. Shut-off valves, will also be necessary if' the nozzles are to operate indiv-' ivually, Cost of.a i -inch tap , is about $1.75, A T -Joint and adaptors will be needed, bringing the' total cost to about ' $5 each spray unit. - Water=spray units are usually installed in the waterline above the waterbowl. Swine producers planning to make extensive use of water cooling might find it more practical to install a single new waterline over the pens. THE BLYTH STANDARD, Aug, 22, 1973, PG.9,'-.

Government wrong, says Federation member"_ "The Federal -government was wrong to succumb to de- mands by opposition members and the media for r controls on exports of beef' and 'perk," says Bruce Taylor, executive •member, .Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Taylr is a livestock producer ht skillen, Ontario,- "Controlling ntario,"Controlling the export of beef and pork will put chaos into the market place," pro- . tests Taylor. "It is regrettable that the Federal bovernment yielded to the artificial press- ures of +.hz opposition and the media. - Last week the government cut off all exports of live - cattle and hogs, fresh, chilled, and frozen pork and beef. A permit system is promised so existing orders can be filled. Taylor claims the permit system could be 'a long time in coming. ' In the mean- 4ime,- the- border is closed, and packers are jumping at the chance to slicea few dollars- off the price to the - farmer." He wa rned, "The result of, interfering in the market place is a ' slap -in the,f ace to farmers. It does not` take many blunders like this, to' destroy the confidence of fax in' the - future, and could ultimately -reduce the supply of meat, on the market. This is no idle threat today, - when meat supe-. 'lies are 'already tight. ; • - "Prime Minister ,Pierre- Trud- eau admits that the rail strike is increasing the .cost of food. He would be doing something constructive if he brought the strike to an immediate end so that food 'can be distributed across the nation. , Curtailing exports merely adds more dis- ruption to an already chaotic marketing system," Make first sale The Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board has made the first sale `of 1973 crop winter wheat for export at the highest price ever received since the ., board began operations in 19"58. Mr. K.A. Standing, secretary - manager of the marketing board said slightly more than'370, 000 bushels were sold at a.price over $4.00 per bushel basis Montreal. The sal was made to a'trad- itional customer immediate shipment according to the board official, • Mr. Standing•also advised that the marketing board has taken possession of a ,volume in excess of five1 million bushels of the • 1973 crop, to date under the new agency marketing system. He said the board.has moved about two million bushels into export position and the balance is moving into domestic consu- immption positions.

Credit Uniona ups interest k' motion 'was passed' at'+the' Belgrave District Credit Union directors meeting on August 14 increasing the interest paid to members on deposit accounts to 7%. . ' It was decided to let the interest charged on loans to members remain at the very . compediture rate of 10%. The directors wondered why more use is not being made of this source of money in the community, `No riders' policy best Nearly 20 per cent of all farm accidents involve persons under 19 years of age. "Many, of these accidents involve small children who provide no physical input into the farm operation, but are just along as. passengers", says Don Brown,, coordinator , of Public Relations with the Farn. Safety Association, "Children should not be allowed on farm machinery, particul- arly when the machine isin operation." • You may think your reactions are quick; ;hut accidents happen in much less time than you real- ize, says Mr. Brown. It takes only seconds for your child to fall under a wagon or into the pathof a mower or baler, much. less time than it takes you to stop the machinery. By the time you stop, it could be too late." 'Point out the dangers of riding to your children and refuse them. Keep them off moving or opera- ting machinery. Farm machines are not pliy- toys. They're the machines of a competitive and demanding business. As a business, agric- ulture also requires alert and experience:? workers. Keep your children out of harm's way -- observe a "No Riders" policy.

JENE MILLER Mr, C.F. Barney, a Clinton, Ontario reader has shared a satire with this column which it is a joy to pass on: !'From J. FlaviusFltifyhead, Foreign Mission Board Secretary, to Paul, Independent Missionary: Dear Mr. Paul, we recently rece- ived an application from you for service under our board ... We have made an exhaustive survey of your case, and, to be plain, we are surprised that you have been able to pass as a bone fide missi- onary, "At antioch we learn, you opposed Dr, Slmon.Peter, an es- teemed denominational secretary, and actually rebuked him openly .. , a special Board meeting had to be convened in Jerusalem. We cannot condone such actions, Do you think it seemly for a mission- ary to do part-time secular week? We hear that you are making tents on the side , , . the Church at Phi- lippi is the only Church supporting you.,. ,We wonder why!, "Is it true that, you have a jail record? Certain brethren report that you did two years' time at Caesarea and were imprisoned at 'Rome. You Made so much tro- uble for business men at Ephesus that they refer to you as one of Residents look to future 'the Men who turned the world', upside down', Sensationalism in missions is uncalled for, We also deplore the livid.'over-the- wall-in-a-basket episode at Dam- ascus'. • "We were appalled at your obvious lack of conciliatory be- haviour. Diplomatic men are not stoned and dragged out of the city gate, or assaulted by furious mobs, Have you ever suspected that gentler words might gain you more friends? You have caused much trouble everywhere. You opposed honorable women at Berea and leaders of your own nationality in Jerusalem. If a man cannot get along with his own people, how can he serve foreig- ners? !'You wrote to Timothy that you had 'fought the good fight'. Fighting is hardly -a recomenda- tion, , , . Jesus came, not to bring sword, but peace. You boast _ that you 'fought with'wild beasts. at Ephesus'. What on earth do you mean? It hurts me to tell • you this, Brother Paul, but in all • my 25 years of experience, I have never met a man so'oppos- ite to the requirements of our .Foreign Mission Board". Mr. Barney concludes, in part, "so. no Pauls serve today." Thanks C.F.! A look at Brussels in the future will include as the central point of interest, the beautiful Mait- land River which winds through ; the village from east to west. This was the main plan in the minds of county planner Nick Hill and a five -member citizens' committee as they met to discuss . plans for future development in the village. The plan calls for development ; of a continuous riverside parkland beside the Maitland; designation of an area north on County Road 12 for gas,stations, car washes, ' etc.; creation of three areas for future•subdivisions in the south- west corners af'the town; desig- nation esignation and preservation of his- toric sites, including Logan's mill, the railroad station, several homes and churches; des- ignation of the northeast caner of the town fcr an industrial park. Wak on the plan began in . January and since that time large numbers of residents have attended public meetings to voice opinions on future plans for their hometown, The five committee members, all of whom have a vital interest in and a personal knowledge of the village, are realtor Jim Cardiff (housing); George McCutcheon, a memter of the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority, (river environ- ment); businessman Ray Adams (shopping area); historian Mrs. Clark Mattheson (historical sites) and Reeve Tack McCutcheon (industrial park locations). At the community's request, the province is conducting a cost survey of a full municipal system for the village. "When the system is completed, in four or five years' time, .the village is likely to attract. new . industry and residents!' said Mrs. Hill. The basic aim of the plan is to encourage growth without spoiling the unique character .of the village. In Mr. Hill's words, "The Maitland River is an exciting feature of. the vil- lage and should be retained in its natural form and developed for public use and recreation." The plans outlined at the meeting act as an amendment to the county official plan which sets the general guidelines for growth and development. THE BLYTH STANDARD, Aug. 22, 1973, PG, la. Famine threatens 6 112 million children •Thirteen million people, twice 'as many as earlier believed, are facing famine because of drought in sub-Saharan Africa, according to the latest report from the League of Red Cross Societies, • Half are children under 15. Eight Canadian relief and deve- lopment agencies have joined in a. Combined Appeal for African Drought Relief (CAADR) to raise a million dollars during the month of August. Co-chairman of CAAD Kenric Marshall, national director of CANSAVE reports that "initial response to the Appeal has been less than encouraging, but we. realize that many Canadians are holidaying at this time, If we had a choice, we would have delayed our Appeal until later in the fall, but when six and a half million children are hungry, thirsty and homeless you don't wait, They._need ow help NOW." Paul Ignatieff, executive dir- ector of the Canadian UNICEF Committee says that this agency is particularly concerned with the plight of "vulnerable pop- ulation groups such as children, pregnant and nursing mothers and the old, The able-bodied men leave with the cattle, driving them southward in search of water and pasture; the women and children are left to fend for themselves in clusters around the few remaining wells and waterholes." Rainfall was well below normal during the past five years in the Sahelian zone of Africa stretching more than 2,000 miles along the southern edge of the Sahara desert. Drought is a creeping disaster which takes several years to become full- blown; 1973 is the worst in recent memory in that part of the world. This will be a year of hunger and suffering in Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Niger, Upper Volta, Chad and Ethiopia. Crops have withered to the point where precious seed grain must be used for food -- a mortgapp on the future ensuring years of hard- ship even if the rains come this summer, Valuable herds of domestic livestock have died or been slaughtered for lack of pasture. It will take years to rebuild, "Emergency relief in the form of food and medical supplies will be needed well into 1974", says Catherine Harvey of OXFAM Canada, "but all of the agenc- ies are putting equal a mphasis on long-term measures. "OXFAM, for example, has thrown its resources behind several projects in cooperation with the.government of Upper Volta aimed at seed multiplic-" ation, dam -building and ref- orestation, "This type of long-range co- mmitment will help halt the southward advance of the Sahara Desert which is consuming agric- ultural and grazing land at the rate of one half to one mile per year," she concluded, Canadians can help the dro- ught relief effort by sending a cheque or money order to the Combined Appeal for African Drought Relief, or the partic- ipating agency of their choice, marking the cheque 'For African Drought Relief', P,O, Box 497 T Station A, Ottawa, Participants in CAAPR. are: Canadian Hunger Founaation, Canadian Red Cross Society, Canadian UNILEF Committee, Canadian University Service Overseas (CUSO), CAIISAVE Children, CARE Canada, OXFAM -Canada and World Vision. support the mentally retarded We're Number 3, and. trying extra hard.

Getting ready is kind of a pain in the arm, especially if you must have a vaccination. Obtaining. a passport sounds easy. Heck, it's more trouble than getting married or dying, All you have to do is fill in a form. The form is slightly . more complicated than your , income tax form. Then, you must find someone who will swear that you•are who you say you are. This person is called a guarantor and can be practi- cally anyone except your neighbour. Then you. must obtain a birth certificate, This is fairly simple if you know where you were born, If you don't, or you' happened to be born in Zilch, Yugoslavia, it can be complex., Youmust have passport photos taken. You can't just use an old snapshot in which you look your best, Passport photos are an old joke. I They usually make you ke a zombie. Strangge�ly, ours turned ° l bccaue ae we • idn't pose, for them, knew they'd be gruesome, so they came out relaxed, Besides passports and birth certificates, there is a myriad of other pother to look after, and you could use a full-time clerk for a week or two. Air tickets, money arrangements, hotel reserva- tions, and who's going to feed the cat. A travel agent is almost a must in these days, when half the world seems to be on the move. He or she can smooth a lc; of wrinkles and give valuable tips ou how to wifi at least the occasional round in the game. Many people go to big agencies in the city. My • travel agent; a personable young local chap, couldn't have been more helpful and efficient. (Aside to Bill Mandly: everything. by golly, had better be right, after that,) He told me, =-.nettling rad BLYTI-f =STANDARD: Mtg. 22, 1973. PG; 15 about air fares that is almost unbelievable, A return ticket to the U.K. can run all the way from a Christmas char- ter at $187 to a regular flight at $626 (under two weeks). 1 shudder to think what a first-class ticket would cost in the latter category. Of course, a business man can write off the $626 as expenses, and to the little old Indy going back for a visit xlfter fifty years, that $187 ;;peciat might represent months at scrimping. Even so, something smells, in the discrepancy, as one,of the greatest pieces of exotic travel literature ever written, But it is a little hectic around here,Six hours to takeoff, my wife is just start; ing to pack, I. have to o down and sell my soul the bank manager, get up to the school and look after some items for, September, see young:Wilson next door about feeding the cat, call the boy about mowing the lawn, pick up the dry-cleaning, get the books back to the library, and, somehow in there, try to have a shower and shave. We might make it, but I. wouldn't bet higher than even money. 1'II try to do better next week, when you'll have a despatch from The Nag's Head, Middle Wallop, Eng- land. Travelling is not cheap, unless you want, to swim across, which I've contem- plated a couple of times as the bills mount, Only reason 1 haven't developed the idea is that my wife is a good swimmer, but only for about thirty yards. I'd hate to see her go down thirty yards off the Halifax docks, and have to do all the rest on my own, with nobody to tell me 1 was steering the wrong course, Not cheap! Good gravy. Just looked over the items before we even left the house, Air ticket — $332; passport photo — $3; pass- port — $10; birth certificate — $3; limousine to airport — $8; . Britrail pass — $70; Those are just the basics. Multiply by twoif you're a couple. Then there are the ever- present extras: new clothes, expenses to get to city to get passports, and the inevitable sundries, too numerous to mention, as the auction sale ads put it, That's before' you get on the plane. You still•have to eat and sleep for three weeks after you get there. However, I've cut the whole thing down quite a bit by can- celling our two daily paper deliveries for three weeks. Saved about $6.50 right there. Our Britrail pass allows us to go anywhere in the U.K. It may come in handy. We mal be riding trains all night; every night, to safe: hotel bills.

(News -Record photo) B$iLUhS $COflS$: by KEITH ROULSTON Around award time we news- paper'publishers and editors get a little like Hollywood movie stars at Oscar time. If were lucky enough tb win an award, we think the judges had excellent taste. If we lose out, the contest was fixed. We were lucky enough to win a couple of awards at the Canadian Community Newspaper Association Convention last weekend. Unfortunately, we couldn't afford the time off to make the trip to Calgary to get the awards. Four days in the West would have done more for us than the plaques. We're proud of the awards, mind you. We're proud that the. judges thought our paper was good enough to beat out so • • many others across the nation. , We're even prouder that it may have helped just a little to put Blyth on the national map. At the same time, we can see many'places where our newspaper can be improved, so we're not getting swelled heads. And, there will prob- ably be times in the future when we'll deserve the awards more than this year and won't get them. But we promise you we'll keep trying until 'we win a first place award. But while awards are nice, the thing that still matters most is that we serve you well and help kis ep the Blyth comm- unity an interesting and vitally alive place to live. ****** I dropped in the other night at the rehearsal' of Nobody " Sleeps, the production being - prepared by .the Youth Division of the Blyth Little Theatre.

Director Dale Tasker has done .an impressive -:job so far in dir- ecting the cast ' in this one -act comedy and though we'd hate ' to jinx them, it looks like they'll have a hit on their hands. The play will be per - farmed as part of the. 4-H - Achievement Day and pork - barbecue festivities on Sept- ember -1. It will be at the Public School ,at 8 p. m. ****** Speaking of that September 1 b ash, it looks like a very interesting day the Agricultural Society has planned.

The afternoon will feature 4-H beef,- rabbit and horse 'com— petitions and games for kids of allages. There will be more games in the evening before, during and after the big pork barbecue.
