There's something for everyone as'this montage of pictures from last year's show indicates. Though the stars of the show are • the big steam, engines there are also antique cars, models, horses and oxen and many other attractions. Record crowds expected at 12th Thresher Reunion • Record crowds are expected in Blyth this. tveekend for the 12th annual Huron Pioneer Thresher Reunion on Friday, Saturday and 'Sunday. Last year 7000 persons' attended the show. • Stars of the show as usual, of course, will hu. the huge stea m tractors huffing and puff- ing their way around the grounds. They'll share the spot- light, however, with model steam engines, a team of oxen, old gasoline engines and early gas tractors, teams of show horses, antique cars and several bands. Zurich Citizens Band will pro- vide entertainment on Saturday Donations welcomed and the Seaforth Junior Band' on Sunday. There will be- an old time dance on Friday night at • Memorial Hall and a corn roast on both Friday and Saturday nights. Earl and Martha Heywood will entertain and there will be a fiddlers' contest and a step dance contest. As usual, threshermen's dinn- ers will he one of the big hits of the show with local groups serving large crowds. Those attending will be able to see a glimpse of the past as the big steam engines are used to power threshing mach- ines and a saw mill.. It looks like another big success. - Merchants hold sidewalk sale council votes 10 renovates Hall, Cosi could reach $20,000 Blyth \'illagr Council voted Tuesday night to proceed with renovation of Blyth Memorial Hall. Councillors estimated the total cost of the project could near -520, 000, Council made. the decision after hearing a report from . the firm of B. M. Ross and Associates, engineers - of Goderic h, The firm had been. retained -to make a report on all necessary repa irs , to the building. - Biggest expense will be the removal and replacement of the roof -of the building. -The estimated cost' is 514, 600. The roof had been the main reason the firm had been, called in in the first place. Councillor s had noted a sag in the roof of the building and wanted a full report before proceeding- with further_repairs to the- building.- The engineer ing firm :found the roof unsafe and, recommended the complete removal and replacing of the roof support system. Council at its last erecting asked the f'rnr to check out the rest of the hall, particul- arly the floor of the theatre. • The report showed that the floor met all recommended load limits except in the state and front aisle area which' should' be strengthened. ,Council estimated this would cost another 55000 at most to fix. Before the report was read, council was in receipt of more than 30 coupons from The Blyth -Standard expressing the Wish of people. that the Hall should be fixed. Several more_ Were delivered during the meeting. Councillors were impressed by the, fact that not one ballot hud been returned. saying council should not go ahead with the project. A lett- er from Blyth Board of Trade recommending the council fix the Hall was also read. The vote to fix the Hall was unanimous (only three councill- ors were present at the time of the vote) with "councillor Will- iam Howson making the motion and councillor Mac Brooks seconding it. Councillor Howson said that looking at the likely cost of the project and the public supp- ort for the project council had little other -choice hut to go ahead and fix the building. Councillor Brooks agreed'and, ,added that anyone who would like to help out by donating money to the renovation pro- ject would be gratefully accept- ed. • Donations should be forwarded to the Clerk, Village of Blyth and The Standard will publish the •names of a 11 donors who wish their name known. Blyth Board of Trade is spon- soring a sidewalk sale this weekend as part of the big Thresher Reunion activities. The sale, a big success last year according to most merch- ants, will take place Friday and Saturday. Other activities will high- light the downtown activities on Saturday. There will be an enlarged outdoor art display on the lawn at Memoria] Hall. Last year three artists,displayed their work. This year as many as a half dozen are expected, many with a large variety of work. Blyth Little Theat:a will help provide entertainment on the weekend as well. They twwi1I present the Youth Division at work on Friday night with their hit play Nobody Sleeps. The show was first presented lath Saturday night and was a big success. The show starts at 8 pp m, at the Public School. \The play . is a short one and admission is only 50 cents. Councillors increase their salaries Blyth Councillors voted them- selves a pay hike Tuesday night. Councillors will now be paid 5600.a year and the Reeve 5750. They had received 5200 and 5250 for the Reeve, Clerk Norm Shaw produced salary schedules which showed Blyth salaries far below other towns of similar size.. in Lucan, ,for instance, the Reeve receives 51000 and Councillors $600 with a payment of 512.50 for special meetings. in Grand Bend, the Reeve receives 5600 and coun- cillors 5500. In Brussels, the Reeve gets $550 and councill- ors $350. it was pointed out that in a recent 20 -day period the Reeve had had to attend seven meetings. Reeve Lawrie said he could not afford to stay on as Reeve at the pres- ent rate andeven at the new rate would lose money by .being reeve because of the timehe had to take off from work for meetings. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, Sept, 5; 1973, ucational priorities T.eachersthroughout the province are upin arms and threat- ening to : withold their services if the government does not loosen the purse strings on spending in ._education. <. But when schools opened on Tuesday, some interesting statistics surfaced, Statistics Canada reported that school enrollment in Canada was going to drop six and a half per cent this year. At the same time, it reported, spending on schools increased more than six per cent last year. In other was,— we are sending fewer and fewer kids to school and it is costing us more, Education is something ,of a sacred cow these days. Any- one who suggests we are spending too much on it is open to scathing criticism. The provincial government has been lambasted from every side for its ceilings on expenses in both education and health care, The government idea is right, but the teachers have a point too, We cannot continue to let education costs mount forever. But at the same time, we must remember that the only important thing in education . is the interaction between teacher and child. School buildings, fancy teaching aids, ex- pensive administrators are only auxiliary devices in order to help the teacher -pupil relationship. If we must cutback, the cutback should be in these areas, It seems ridiculous to cut down the number of teachers while board administrators increase their staffs year after year, It seems stupid to cram more and more students into a class- room to the point where the teacher cannot teach each the way she should, just so some flashy audio-visual machine can be purchased. It's time to get out priorities straight. Schools, despite what some administrators may think, are not factories. They cannot be successfully computer -programmed so a little knowledge is systematically dumped into each child's head at each stop on a conveyer line that ends in graduation. School is a human experience and as such, must remain as humane as possible. Salary increases needed Blyth Councillors voted themselves a big increase in their salaries at Tuesday nights meeting, a move that will no doubt cause some criticism from tax payers. Anyone who studies the amount of. work involved in mun- icipal politics these days or knows what other councils re- ceive can hardly be too critical, however. Reeve Lawrie stated at the meeting that he just couldn't afford to cavy on as Reeve at the old rate of $250 a year, Even at the new rate of $750 a year he was going to be losing money with the many times he had to leave work to go out on council business. While .the other councillors do not carry as heavy burden_ as the Reeve, it is not fair to ask me them to do the ramie— job job as others councils in the area are doing at a third the salary. Anyone who becomes involved in public affairs certainly realizes quickly that his every action is going to make some- body mad. This aggravation at least should be, a good reason for the increased salaries. Help for mothers Every year a growing number of mothers go out to work. Many still question whether a mother should work or should stay home with the children to make sure they have the best care. The arguement is futile, however. It is already lost. Many mothers .either must go out to work or want to go so badly that no argument is going to con- vince them to change their minds. But what happens to the children of these mothers? Many are fortunate and find loving, competent, baby sitters. Others aren't so lucky. The person they leave their child- ren with may either not be careful with the children, or may teach values that the parent, and society, would not want for the child, The problem is particularly acute at this time of year. Many mothers who teach have been home all summer and didn't need babysitters. Many mothers who worked could make use of the many students unemployed during the summer who provided a sitting service. These have gone back to school leaving too few babysitters for the number of youngsters who need care. City parents can often take their children to day care centres where they know their children will be treated well, fed well and probably taught new skills. We in Blyth, and most other small communities do not have this service available. It is time that more effort was put into trying to provide such a service. Someone, whether it be a group of indiv- iduals or a church group or a service club, needs to start thi ngs moving so that all mothers have a proper place fa their children to go while they are at work. If possible, the rates for such a centre should be flexible so that mothers with low incomes .can get proper care they can afford. Our children need proper care if we are to hope for a - better world in the future, They can not be left to fend fa themselves. Our future needs special care.

GUESS WHO, WARNED ME NOT TI 'OUCH YOU WITH A BARGE POLE, Frim my WIROOVI BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Do you have any teenagers in your household? Do you have any kids who now are able to drive the car and go.to drive-in mov- ies? Do you have any discussions with your kids about the films they see there? Our oldest son drives the family car this summer. He also has taken a keen interest in drive -in theatres this year for the first time. T have my ideas as to why drive-ins hold such extreme fascination for our son but let's just say he's going to the drive- in because it is a way of life in our North American society of 1973. Every once in a while, T'll ask him, "How was the movie?" A few times he's replied, "l was disappointed." Once he said, nididn't like it at all," Some- times he replies, "Tt was okay 1 guess." Definitely not the ravings of a youth completely sold on the progra ms available at the nei- ghbourhood drive-ins, I'd say. And I'm not surprised. Have you taken a good look at the fare which is being served up these days at a good many of the local drive-ins? Take a look at the next drive- in calendar that comes into your home. There's usually three or four "skin flicks" as the kids call them; some violent ' non -talent things; a couple of no -account science -fiction thrillers; and one or two half - decent pictures per month. Yet the kids are there - by the carload, Why? Likely because it is a place to park without anyone ca: ing. You pay your money and there's no questions asked. If the enter- tainment is good, you get an added bonus which is almost unexpected these days, An expensive place to park, you say? r guess it depends upon the way you look at it. Society accepts kids 'parking' in the drive-in theatres. It doesn't condone 'parking' in the streets a 'loitering' in the parks or on_the street corners. Where else does a fellow take his girl these dayo, especially with the family parlor more like Crand Central Station than a quiet zone? But what about these movies which are being served up in the nations outdoor theatres? What about those sexy sadistic films which are being sold as art? I' m willing to wager that for the most part, the kids aren't even remotely interested. You see one, you see them all, I'll bet. Whether or not such mov- ies are "turning on" the youth of ow country, 1'd have no ideas although I'd suspect the percentage is extremely low. Although !'ve not seen many of these low -budget creations, I've been told they're so badly done they don't even have the capac- ity to arouse, And what about violence on the screen? Well, to the war- ped sick mind, violence may be exhilerating and that kind of a mind is going to be fed by,something somewhere no matter what, To the average teenager in a theatre under the stars, though, there's a slim chance they'll leave the prem- ises to maim and to kill. They'll probably look at the movie from a kind of far-off position with the immediate in the car taking the greatest part d their attention. . So, if like me you are conv- inced that sex and violence do not attract normal thinking people, then why not offer something else at the drive- in -theatres? Why not better movies which draw not only the youthful crowd looking for a place to park but the old- sters as well? Why not an. evening of live entertainment complete with flashing lights and other visual aids? Why not a concert of recorded music using some of the'top music of the day plus second -to -none sound equipment? If you think I'm— miles off base - if you think the youth of the day is hooked on sex and violence - sit down and talk seriously to the kids -you know. Listen to them, Hear their wants and their needs. You'll find they want just about what everybody else wants - only in a little different wrap- pings. You'll find they are wonderful people with an appe- tite for adventure:and romance of ,almost the same type as yours.' and you'll find they`are a. lot more discerning and a lot more entertainment -wise than most adults give them credit for. There's nothing new about looking for a place to park, There's nothing new about bad movies. What Is new is that a large percentage of today's youth are mature enough to handle both. from Ottawa SOYBEAN EXEMPTION Canada has been exempted from the .embargo imposed by the United States, July 2, On exports of soybeans and soybean meal • considerably increasing the amount availa- ble to Canadian importers. PRAIRIE WHEAT CROP Canada's wheat crop this year is expected to exceed the 1972 crop by 72 million bushels. Wheat pool and govern- ment officials in the Prairie provinces have estimated that the wheat crop could he as high as 590 million bushels, compared with 513 million bushels last year. Estimates on other grains_ indicate production this year will not he much different from 1972. MORE JOBS - I'he federal government is planning to_ spend S100 million to relieve unemploy- ment nemployment this winter. Manpower and Immigra- tion Minister Robert Andras announced that $83 million,. has been allocated to the Local Initiatives Program and $17 million` to the Federal Labour intensive Program. - The minister said "the pri- mary objective of these fede- ral job creation - programs is the reduction of high seasonal - unemployment and high re- gional or area unemploy- ment." CONSUMER PROTECTION Health and Welfare Minis- ter Marc .Lalonde announced a new information policy whereby the department's Health Protection Branch will release more detailed in- formation on potential health haiards to the public from foods, drugs and certain ether manufactured products. l'he new policy. will also inform the public' of govern- ment actions to withdraw or suspend sales, of seizures, and. of refusedentry into Canada of hazardous products, PARLIAMENT RECALLED Parliament was recalled from its summer recess to end ,the nation-wide tail - strike. Fun Day a success The first Fun Day sponsored by the Blyth Agricultural Soc- iety was a big success despite intense heat that kept attend-. ance down. Murray Scott, President of the Agricultural Society said he felt the event had been a succ- ess and would grow in the future as people learned more abopt`, it. The biggest event of the day -was a pork barbecue held at the arena. About 300 persons sat • down to eat, The_afternoon featured 4-H beef calf -club and ,4-H rabbit club achievement days (no Letter to the ed i Gaunt answ Dear Keith: I wanted to make some com- ments about your editecial whi- ch appeared recently in the Blyth paper with respect to Ontario Housing Corporation and Blyth's treatment by that Corporation in comparison to Teeswater and Lucknow. Specifically I thought I had better indicate to you what my understanding of the situation is, As i recall it late last fall it was indicated to me that the Council of Blyth was interested in having OHC senior citizen's units built in Blyth. Accordingly i got in touch with OHC and I believe Mr, Darcy Halligan of OHC went to Blyth to discuss the mat- ter with the Reeve. However, it was indicateci'to Mr. ,Halligan that Blyth was pursuing the pos-- sibility of instaling sewers and I know that there has been some discussion with the Ministry of Environment with regard to this matter. 1 think progress has been somewhat slow but, I gat- her net OHC has suggested that they would pirefer that some form of undertaking be signed by the village to install sewers befcre they go any further. My understanding is that it has been made clear that this is not a necessity in order to initiate a survey but, it would be prefer- able. There is -only one insta- nce where OHC has built units in our area where sewers were not installed in the town and that is in Teeswater. The pol- icy of OHC and Central Mortgage Housing Corporation is that only results were available, at press time), , The 4-1-1 horse club also had its achievement, The afternoon was filled with games for local youngsters. A softball game between Lawrie Decorating and Radford Gravel Giants provided enter- tainment after supper. -Radfords won 10-3, The Youth Division of Blyth Little Theatre presented a play Nobody Sleeps as part of the activities at Blyth Public School at 8 p, m. The audience was large and the reaction was so positive the play will be presented again this weekend, Friday at 8. p, m. tor ers housingq in isolated cases will OHC units be built without sewer facilities. In the case of Teeswater CMHC gave its approval which is requ- ired in order that units be built without sewers because, it felt that the units in Teeswater could beadequately handled by a septic tank system. In .Luck - now, Ripley, Mildmay and Brussels all of which do not have sewers, surveys have been done but, that is as far as it has gone with the exception of Brussels where property has been acquired from the Town. How- ever, CMHC approval has not been given far that either and is a major hurdle. So of the ones I mentioned the only one that has gone forward to complet- ion is Teeswater. In discussing this matter with Mr. Halligan of OHC today he informs me that OHC is quite prepared to do a survey in Blyth if that is the wish, However, OHC cannot guarantee.CMHC approval because each applic- ation is judged on its own merits and generally speaking CMHC has been most reluctant to app- rove them at all. In the case of Teeswater initially CMHC rejected the application but, they were asked to reconsider on additional information and later provided it. I wanted to bring this infor- mation to your attention in the hope it would help clarify the issue you raised in your editor- ial, As a foot note I may say that in my dealings with OHC over, Lucknow reeve claims Blyth has drainage problems Reprinted from Lucknow Sentinel. it clear that I went through nor - Replying to an article inThe mal channels with Ontario Hous- Lucknow Sentinel last week, in ing and had discussions with which the editor of the Blyth their Development Manager A.

Kathy Street plays the mother of the trio of female burglary experts who make like miser- able for the unfortunate intrud- er. The daughters are played by Frances Battye, Kim Watson and Jackie Nesbitt. The entire cast show consid- erable talent. Of the ladies, Miss Street has -the most exper- ience and it helps her turn in, a good performance, But it is only. a matter of who is best on the particular night the play is viewed since all four have shoed strength, The person who makes the whole play superb of course is Rick -Snell, He has a waxder- ful skill for comedy and has a good deal of experience be- sides in such hits as Oklahoma and You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, Perhaps biggest plaudits, how- ever, have to go to Dale Tasker, the hard working dir- ector of the group who would accept nothing but the best from his cast, For example, when dress rehearsal was held last weeki the jew outsiders who were present applauded loudly at the end of the re- hearsal, They thought the show was excellent, ' But Task- er, unhappy with a few minor points, kept his cast on stage working long after everyone else had gone home. The result of this hard work and dedication shows in the play, It is impossible to find any major 'criticism of the whole play. PIONEER.

Folks use this . expression to refer to the sort of life they would choose tp lead - a life that would eliminate as many as possible of ? the heartaches and troubles that we have in this life, The Good Life is the life that will give us a minimum of pain and a maximum of pleasure and fulfilled dreams, Often the life we would wish tillead is the life we are not leading at present, Perhaps the proverb lithe grass is greener on the • other side of the fence', is true of many people who crave what they don't have. We think that just a bit more money will satisfy us, or being healthy instead of having sickness in our family would bring the good life, having a better job, would be just the thing, Most people think about the good life in terms of things and circumstances, :but God does not link His good life with ',things,' at all,' Jesus said to a man in Luke 12:1 5, ',Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a monis life consisted) not in the abundance of the things' which he possesseth, "" The truly good life is nota matter of possessions, popularity, health, good looks, and the like, It is not what one has, but what one is. Its foundation is one's personal relationship with God through trust in Christ, without which one cannot be a Christian, or experience'Cod's good life.

Blyth, Ont. Phone 523-9581 They're robbing me for lousy coffee but I love it twenty years behind the 'times, but they've managed to muddle through, so far, Speaking of wars, it is driven home to the tourist, through innumerable plaques in castles and cathedrals and other public places, what a tremendous toll of British blood was taken in the two 'great wars, One plaque in the Castle in Edinburgh reveals that one Scottish regiment lost nearly 700 officers and almost 8,000 other ranks in World War I. Edinburgh Castle is a fas- cinating place. My friend Dick Whittington, a history buff, would go right out of his mind and would have to be dragged away by the con- stabulary when he saw the magnificent displays of ancient and honorable uniforms, coats of arms, weapons and such. But" think he might turn purple with outrage had he seen us eating Chinese food up there on the great brood- ing Castle Rock, Even I had an uneasy feeling that Wil- liam Wallace and Robert the Bruce would be rolling in their graves as 1 chomped my chow mein on the massive rock. where heroic deeds were done and the course of history changed, • Chinese restaurants are common here, but I don't think their food is as good as that in Canada. on the whole, I detest the stuff, but my wile loves it, so I wind up hacking at an egg roll when I'd rather he getting into some Dover sole. Food prices here are a lit- tle lower than at home, hut not much.. There are thousands of tatty little restaurants, something like our "greasy spoons'. Poor . food badly cooked, litter everywhere, and sloppy ser- vice. At the other end of the stick are the classy joints: - excellent food beautifully cooked, elegant .surround- ings and four waiters hover- ing. But you'd Netter he well fixed with travellers' cheques if you wander into one of them. There's not too much in between, though most hotels, even small ones, serve a decent dinner for about four dollars, Bars have sandwiches, and the good pubs have hot and cold lunches. Something that irritates me no end- is the coffee racket. You, are served an enormous three -course dinner, so lavish you can eat only half of it. Then the rob - hers want eleven or twelve Eence for a cup of coffee. ven though I'm dying for coffee, and the meal itself was reasonable in price, that bit of Scottish blood in • me - makes me rause to pay about thirty cents for a cup of the worst coffee in the world. That's about'the only thing that annoys me, and it' 4 childish on' my part/. Generally, the English and sots we vc come in contact 1i ith are the soul of courtesy and friendliness.

My wife has ; been crying for the past few days that Pm 'sick', Actually it's her that's sick l sick of watching me watching the boob tube, Labour Day weekend starts that time of year when the strain on marriages where the husband and wife can not agree on their enjoyment of. sparts, There is so much happening, Sports are one of the few things that can draw me into watching television these days. I find watching most shows a waste of time, There are just too many other valuable things to do with one's time. In fact, even watching sports I find the guilt pangs striking, especially when wifey looks over at me with sorrowful eyes when I click on the TV: an express- ion that says without words being spoken, "how can you abandon your wife and child- ren like this?" Like all sports - loving husbands this time of year of course, I manage to beat back the guilt feelings and struggle on. I'm afraid my wife and child- ren will just have to live with me for the next few months. The way things are going in the sports wcrld, l'm hooked for the winter. First of all there is the fact that my Argos (miracle of miracles) look like they have a good' chance of ending up NOT being in the basement in the Canadian Football League for the season, After 15 years of suffering, •I know better than to do anything rash like predicting a first - place finish or a Grey Cup, Just getting in theplayoffs would be a treat, ' Then there's the Expos. Five years I've been faithfully cheering Canada's only major league ball team, Four years they've been so far down in the listings you almost needed a magnifying glass to find them. Suddenly, theyte challenging for the division lead with a month left in the season, There seems to be no reason why they can't win the title as easily as any of the other five teams in the division unless they find the air at the' top so heady they faint in the September heat, The Expos success had made things difficult for me and horrid for my wife, They are supposed to be Just playing out the schedule by Labour Day, leaving me free to concentrate on the football -season which is starting to get interesting and on the hockey season which is just starting to make news. But this year they're not living up to the usual script and 1 must admit Pm glad. Brussels may build big new arena A new arena for Brussels seems more likely than the renovation of the old one after a public meeting discussed -the village's arena needs on Monday, August 27. About 20 attended the meeting in the sweltering heat of the curling club room. if the present Brussels arena, built in 1931, were enlarged and a larger ice surface installed. the building would not meet provincial and federal safety standards for public arenas, ac- cording to Gordon V. Hicks of Con-Dign Ltd. , Waterloo, who addressed the public meeting on the future of the arena. "Your arena may be alright the way it stands, but the tnin- ute you start enlarging it. pre- sent day safety regulations will be enforced and this arena will not meet them." !Or, 1 -licks said. He pointed out that the large arena timbers were adeq- uate hut that the joists were too far apart and that the roof she- titing would have to be 2" thi- ck to meet present day regulat- ions. Mr. Hicks, whose company has built pre -cast steel recrea- tion buildings all over Ontario, attended the meeting on the invitation of the arena comm- ittee after acting Chairman Herb Stretton, and Frank Mc- Cutcheon toured a Con-Dign built arena in Burford and were impressed w kh its prac- tical and economic design. Mr. Hicks said a duplication of the Burford arena, whi:h was built in 1970, would today cost approximately $3 25,000. This amount would provide -a total of r0 h. p. in compres- sor for an ice surface of 180' x 80' for about seven months year. in a building with pre- cast steel roof and sides and concrete block walls about 8 to 10' high. The ice sur- face would be lighted by about 50 foot candles, com- pared to the present light of about 15 foot candles. A com nullity centre or banquet hall above the ice surface and seating 160 to 250, (depending - on cost would also be included. along with dressing rooms, snack bar, lobby, office and ma inte nu nce rooms.
