Li.peralcandidates speak at Zurich Th Huron Provincial Liberal Ass ation had four candidates for a Provincial Liberal Lea dership at its annual meeting in Zurich, - O ctobei 10, - and four men took -advantage- of- their f-.their visit -to speak kin large '• and enthusiastic .crowd of Liberal supporters:•in the riding which- - was captured -by the Liberals in a March by-election for the first time in 25 years. -Rober Nixon, presently the Provincial Liberal Leader atte- nded the function as well as three of his opponents,•Donald Deacon, Norman Cafik and Eddie. Sargent.- - Nixon was applauded vigor- ously by those' present, most of them wearing Nixon buttons. _.In a brief but sincere speech 'to the. people, Nixon asked simply for support at the leadership conven- tion coming up October 261n28 in Toronto. - He praised Huron's new mem- ber of provincial parliament,' • Jack Riddell, and told -the au- - dience their -representative had been well received and is al- ready well respected at Queen's Park. "The Party wants all over this province what Huron got in ; the last election", stated -Donald Deacon, "A win!" Deacon said there rare 95 ridings. in the province which are not now Liberal and said the Liberal team - needs a leader which will weld - the members"into an effective force". - He promised if he was named leader of the Liberals in Ontario to organize the team long be- fore .the election, to raise money for the campaign and to bring out the issues. Deacon claimed there was a "dictatorship now -in Queen's Park"' but that Prime Minister Willia m D avis has "lost ground" in recent months. Over the next two years, Deacon said, the Liberals -can organize themselves into an 'a'- ternative which could win "hop- eless ridings" and " enable' the - people to govern themselves". Called a "dark runner from the Federal government by'Dr, Morgan Smith who introduced him, Norman Cafik said he was in the race because the Liberals of Ontario "need a wide open choice at the convention". Cafik said a recent poll showed the Liberal party is running sec- ond in popularity in Ontario and that the present Liberal leader is running thfrd•in popularity. The member from the riding of Ontario said theprogressive Conservatives in Ontario are !clearly rotten on the inside and truly slipping badly". If named leader of the 'prov- incial Liberals, Cafik said he would lay down a clear policy which could be easily understood by the people and would provl- 'de the leadership to "cut through the bureaucratic red tape in this province". "The provincial government has dehumanized the whole sys- tem",' charged Cafik. "Our main target is Bill Davis" said Eddie Sargent to the meeting which brought a round of applause from the audience. "I won't lay down for anybody, I won't let the Tory steamroller go dyer me." "Bill Davis is hemorrhaging all over", said Sargent. "He's not listening any more. He's lost touch. with the people." • Sargent said the provinces of Alberta'and.British Columbia are debt free while Ontario, supposedly the richest province in Canada, is heavily in debt. He said Ontario needs,a Liberal government and a. decisive le- ader. "I'm going to' love doing it for you if you give ane the chan- ce," han- ce," Sargent said. The main order of business at the annual meeting was to select delegates to the conven- tion. Delegates are Gordon McGavin R.R.. 3,. Walton; J.

Figure skating club plans carnival The Blyth Figure Skating Club met on Monday, October 22 at 8 port. in the former public library. President Mrs. Marion Durnin presided over he meeting. Mrs. Lillian n Hallam read the minutes of the last meeting and Mrs. Ruth McClinchey gave the treasurer's report. It was decided to have figure skating registration on October 30 from 4-6 p. m. at the Blyth Arena. As an exact account of the expenses was not available until the weekend, a tentative fee was set at $12.00 per pupil for 20 lessons. The coaches are to be responsible for telling the test chairman who have passed a badge in their division. A carnival is to be held at the end of January with the hope that all mothers will come forward and help in this under- and. A motion was moved seconded that all private pupils should pay the same club rate. :As usual, thousands of people filed through the Colborne Township Hall at Carlow last Wednesday and Saturday for the Colborne Christmas Country Fair. Among the crafts- men exhibiting their wares was Mrs. Roy Easom of Blyth. • PG.2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, October 24, 1973, o get on the ball It is'nearly two years ago now that Blyth Village Council moved to start a planning board and an industrial committee • for the:town. That's about the lastthat's ever been -heard of either organization. - .. ' While there is a need for the industrial committee to bei come active if the village wished oro:attract More industry, the biggest need right now is for action on the planning front. There was some urgency when the planning board was for- med two years ago because the waiting list of municipalities waiting for help from the Huron County Planning Department was growing long. Today, the list is even longer and it begin./ to look like Blyth will be the last municipality in the county to make use of the department which its citizens are helping • to pay for through their taxes. The department has been doing a good job as their work in Zurich, Grey township, • Brussels and the proposals for revamping of Square in Goderich atest, . The problem is, they aren't doing the work in Blyth and that's not their fault but ours because they've never been officially -asked to come. When the planning board was first named, the council was thinking of the -future.- They were wise to plan ahead but had little thought that there would be immediate need for an official plan for the village. Since that time, however, the growth pattern of Huron County and of Blyth itself, has accel- , erated. Housing and commercial building starts are far high., er than_a year ago. If this pattern of growth continues, we are soon going to be faced with problems of where people should be allowed to build,: and where they shouldn't. We need plans for where industry should be located now, so that if it does come, we will be ready for it. Such planning will also aid in intelligent plans for the new sewerage system be- cause it will enable the sewerage system to be logically planned for future expansion for the needs of commerce and ..r residential areas, The •problem.is that the inaction of the planning board in particular, but also the industrial committee has put Blyth back two years or maybe more. The county planning dep- artment has so many other projects on the go they may not be able to get to Blyth for another two years even if we ask their help tomorrow. And every day's delay puts the town back even further. If action is not taken soon, Blyth may be left in the vuln- erable -position of being the only urban municipality in the county without proper planning. If the village hopes to go ahead not backwards, we've got to get off our backsides right now and start planning. The sick race There is nothing more saddening to the people of Ontario who are looking for a way of booting out the Davis Government than the sick race for the leadership of the Ontario Liberal Party. There had been hope that a bright new. leadership candidate would come along and sweep not only the party, but the ;prov- incial voter off his feet and get rid of a government that has hung around so long it feels it has a divine right to rule. That leader didn't come along and so Robert Nixon, who had earlier proposed to reture from the leadership, put his name back into contention. The result is, that he has weak- ened his own position with the electorate without benefiting the party. Looking at those after the leadership besides Mr. Nixon makes it immediately clear that the only possible decision of the delegates at the convention later this month is for Mr. Nixon. Unfortunately, all this fooling around with a leadership campaign that is really not a leadership campaign, has lost the party all the momentum it gained early•in the year when they won two important by-elections including the big upset in Huron riding when Jack Riddle swept to victory. If Mr, Nixon had declared then, when his leadership popularity had been at an all-time high, that he was going to remain, the party would have kept moving and had a chance to defeat the Conservatives at the next election. But he didn't, and it was perhaps the worst move he has made in the years since he became the Liberal leader, The ineffective Liberal leadership campaign -together with the embarassing feud between Vernon Singer, former deputy leader and Eddie Sargent has put the party right back to where it was after the last election -- rock bottom. Perhaps the Liberals will be able to whip up some new ent- husiasm at the convention. Perhaps Mr. Nixon will be able to unite the party again and win back the confidence of the ele- ctorate that he lost in his dipsy-doodling about the leadership. Ile hope so, because it is clear that the province needs a fresh breath of air on the government side of the house and the Lib- erals seem far more. likely than the New Democrats to form an alternative. Competition is healthy Who says competition isn't healthy. When the plans fora new shopping centre on the edge of Goderich were announced, members of the downtown business community in Goderich began singing the blues. They fore- saw financial ruin awaiting them the day the doors opened at the new centre. They did everything they could to block con- struction. Well, construction hasn't even started yet, but already the town of Goderich seems to be benefiting, from the competition. The merchants on the square in Goderich, worried about ' their future, have decided to accept a plan to give the down- town area a new, bright look. If this plan had been suggested by the Huyon County Planning Department a year ago, chances are the merchants wouldn't even have listened. But now they are worried a little so they not only listened, but they acted. Competition all too often becomes a dirty word in small towns. If one merchant starts cutting into another's business a little too much the result is often one of anger and bitterness between the two. If both parties make an honest effort to give the best service to their customers, however, the result can only benefit a community. Everyone in business must remember at all times that he has no particular right to the business of his community. He must earn that business, BY KEITH ROULSTON Well, the World Series is over for another year, and those'peo- ple who aren'tbaseball buffs but suddenly become interested every October, can go back into hibernation until next Fall. Isn't it interesting, the way an annual event such as the World Series brings back thoughts of what happened in the past? Anyone the least bit interested can probably remember the big final in other year and who they cheered for and perhaps what they were doing at the time or where they lived or what the weather was like that year. This year the gamesthrough the week were all played at night and it must be disappointing in a way for school children, at least if they had teachers like ' those I had when I was in school. I remember those were the days when about one o'clock in the afternoon the boys and at,' least some of the girls in the class started to get restless, • wishing they were home • list- ening to the game on the radio. I remember the days always szemed to be sunny and the leaves always golden. The teachers seemed obliv- ious most of the day to our rising anxiety about missing the big game.until after lunch. And then, nearly every teacher I had during those days in public school, would quiet Ap arrange a radio at the back of the room and turn on the big game.. I don't really know why they did it. I think the reasons pro- ' bably varied. I remember one teacher, he was the school pri- ncipal, who likely turned on the game because he hated to miss it just. as much as we did. But another teacher, an older spinster, .I- somehow think:was not really a ball fan, though per- haps she may have been one of those who got interested every October. Yet every yearshe'd turn on the radio and we'd would listen. Maybe she figured it was useless to try to teach any- thing anyway under the circum- stances, or ,maybe she just was. a kind-hearted lady who couldn't. help giving in to a bunch of 10 - year -old kids who longed to be elsewhere than in school. Whatever the reason, she turned on the radio and gave us some work to do for the -after- noon that didn't,require a lot of talking. It was also diff- erent than a normal school -day because very few of us got up and went out into the yard when the recess bell rang: We just - moved closer to the radio. If there had been higher ed- ucation officials in those days, they probably would have dis- approved of our teachers' actions, but those were the free and easy days when the teacher was THE' most important cog in education, Members of the school board • were all-partof the local com- munity and probably wouldn't ` ` complain because they likely' had the game'on in their store or took a couple of hours off from the -farm work so they could listen too. -(unless you have a little bet on the right team). There are far more important things that could be done with the time ' available. But logic didn't mean so; much back then and we didn't care whether a few hours were • wasted or not. Today I often If you look at it logically, miss that feeling that you didb't all this fuss over the World have to make the best use of Series was a waste of time. The all your time; that you could World Series isn't going to sit back and waste an hour or change the course of history a - so in something so unimpect- even put money into'your pocket ant as a baseball game.

GAUNT, M, P, P, , (HURON BRUCE) - Debate opened up on the Hydro report this week with Opposition Leader Robert Nixon urging the Ontario Government to expropriate Ontario Hydro's _ new office -headquarters at the` first opportunity severing all Hydro links with- developer Gerhard Moog and his Company, Canada Square, - Mr. Nixon said Mr, Moog - was obviously -an attractive per- son and brilliant businessman but, he had`acted•with deceit and misused the friendship of Premier William Davis on his - way to winning the lease pur- chase contract for. the building. In -participating -in the debate I said that Hydro had been shown that it is not the infallible mono- lith everyone had thought it to be. I made the point that Hydro wanted a super-duper, monum- ental headquarters and 'wanted it whatever the cost. They were prepared to do almost anything to get it, .,r Solicitor General John Yarem- ko has asked fora meeting with National Defence Minister James Richardson -to review the effects of the Federal Govern- ment's decision to cut in half it's support of the Emergency Measures' Organization. Ont- ario now receives a little more than $1 million of Ottawa's $3 million annual contribution to the Provinces. The decision was based on the fact that EMO is mainly concerned with natural disasters rather than a possible nuclear attack and the matter of natural disasters is primarily a Provincial responsibility, Ontario's present contribution to EMO is $415,000 with a fur- ther $106,000 coining from the Municipalities, Ontario is preparing plans to scale down the land planning area for the proposed North Pickering Community by, as much as 40 per cent if Ottawa decides to scrap the proposed site of the new international airport, Treasurer John White told the Legislature consultants were now working on a some- what smaller area.. About 25,000 acres was originally designed, Old papers yield information Old newspapers show up in "the• strangest places. Under old carpets, in the back of mirrors, lining old drawers you never know where you might find a piece of the past. Alvin Snell of Blyth found some old copies of The Standard fcr instance dating Sept. 27, 1950, October 30, -1957 and June 3, 1959. As always, there were some interesting tidbits For instance, in the 1950 paper, Holland's IGA offering a half pound tin of salmon for 39 cents and tuna at 39 cents.., A three piece blonde mahogany. bedroom suite was selling' at Tasker's Furniture for $125. Contributions'were being ack- nowledged in the paper for don- ations to the Blyth Community Centre Arena which was nearly completed. The 1957 paper announced . that Gordon Hill of Varna had. been named president of the National Farmer Union for Ont- ario.' Mr. Hill is now president of the Ontario Federation of Ag- riculture. ' Mr. and Mrs. Harold Vodden celebrated their 25 th wedding anniversary. Huron County Hol- stein Breeders heldtheir annual banquet in Blyth Memorial Hall. A fashion feature in the paper showed the latest fashion craze in Paris: the Sack, And at Hol- land's IGA',: peanuts were 29 cents a: pound, In the 1959is- sue, Mr. Snell had just annou- nced the purchase rof the Hol- land IGA store, His ad offered potatoes at 30 cents for 10 pounds.

The date of the issue is incom- plete but from the volume number, it would appear to be about the late 1890's. Inclu- ded in the issue was a stinging letter to the editor regarding another article by one J. H. McConnell who is called a "semi=demented, superannuated pedagogue instead of the local preacher". They didn't pull any punches in those days. The other ancient portion of a paper is from the Manitoba Free Press of November 30, 1872. Included in the issue are articles on the western land boom of that period. Country Gals meet The third meeting of the Country Gals 4-H Club was held September 20 at Mrs. Stadel- mann's. The topic of discussion • was "The British Isles." The demonstration was the making of "Welsh Rabbit", which no one cared for too much. The fourth and fifth meetings were combined on September 27 at Margie Phelan's. They discussed the European countries suchas Germany, Holland and Belgium as well as Italy and the Balkan states. The demon- strations included Dutch Choc- olate and Pizza which were both enjoyed by all. The sicth meeting was held ` October 11 a$'Stadelmann's. The topic was Scandanavia and Finland. They compared both the countries and the foods to • their own. They made Ablekage which not everyone liked. The , meetings were closed with the 4-H motto.

JENE MILLER Many years ago an ecclesiast- ical supervisor said to me, "Your trouble is that you miss too ma- ny preachers' meetings:" I replied, "I have never mis- sed a preachers' meeting in my We, I have stayed away from lots of them, but I didn't miss them one bit!" And a lot of laymen could say the same thing about some of the meetings wh- ich I have conducted. The emphasis of the church upon "personal salvation" has probably been most perverted at this point.

Death GEORGE IOUIS HAINES. > • George Louis Haines died at his home in Morris township on Friday, October 19, 1973. He was 66 years of age. Death • was due to a heart condition he had had for 10 years. Mr. Haines was born in Cul • - roes township, the son of Mr. and Mrs. John Haines and lived there until his marriage . to Viola Moffatt of Greenoch township. He was a stationary. engineer working for Lloyd - Truax Ltd. of Wingham and at Canadian Forces Base, Clinton. Mr. Haines was a member • • of the Free Methodist Church, • Goderich and served on the board of that church. Surviving besides his wife Is one son, Donald of Exeter, three grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Andrew Bannerman, Walkerton. Funeral service was from the Tasker Memorial,•Chapel, Blyth at 2 p. m. on October 21 with Rev. Ross Nicholls of Goderich officiating, "Burial was in Union Cemetery, Blyth. Serving as pallbearers were Don and Bodie Craig, Earl Caldwell, Albert Nesbitt, , Franklin Bainton, all of Blyth and Harold France of Wingham. In spite of Paul's repeated , warnings such as the eye cannot. say it does not need the foot, etc, , members of the churches were able to think they could be churchmen without being Church, They were allowed to go to meetings to GET; to get enthusiasm, to get programs, to get new ideas, to get love, to get a look at the new preacher, to get their own way. Today, even the highest pres- sure of publicity, the most popular speakers, and the best entertainment will not get half the members of any cong- regation to its meetings. This is not the members' fault. They have gone to meetings time after time and brought home no more than they could have gotten on a post card. Nor is this the Church's fault, It has tried time and again to get people to con- tribute ideas, compassion, challenge and relevance, It is no one's fault, But, it is time to change. The laity have a right to demand that the institution never make easy the hard road of the Cross, and the Church has a right to demand that , those in it be too serious to resent difficult assignments. The Game -Plan of Salvation may be free, but the Gam e deadly! DoflmeMInisters study BY ALFRED FRY, MINISTER AUBURN AND DONNYBROOK: In the book of Isaiah. Chapter 40, verse 31, we read "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as Eagle: they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint". What a promise to all who take time to pray. To fly, then to runis not the usual procedure. Progress would seem to re- quire the reverse. When we are young, our powers seem to hold out limitless possibilities, we feel capable of anything, we want to fly, in middle age we are inclined to run, but in old age we are content to walk. At times the Christian is filled w ith a joy and freedom which makes us feel like mounting up with wings, then as life presents its problems a practical application of the Christian faith has to be made; and as time goes on what is seen to really matter is the steady walk with God. If we are to remain true to the faith and endure until the end, we will need to wait upon the Lord, our lives rooted and grounded in God. We will encounter many pressures in life which will hinder us from this. God is invisible and we are inclined to trust only that what can be seen. ivl a in an age of considerable strain, expending mental `and physical energy without much in the way of a satisfying result, we need not only Recreation, but Re-creation, our bodies need a steady inflow of God's sustaining grace. This can only come as we give our lives in complete surrender to Jesus Christ, and have an intimate love for Him, put Him first in everything, ever remembering Hit love for us, when He gave His life for us upon Calvary. If you are tired and weary, if you feel that you are not the Christian you aught to be, if you are not happy in your Christ- ian life, then wait upon the Ford in Prayer, you may not fly ac run, but you can, walk with the Lord in the light of His word.

Ontario's Urban Transportation Program: A choi� for everyone. Something very frightening can happen to cities when they grow up, They can get out of hand and almost over- power the very people that give them life, The worst offenders are often transport- ation systems: Cars and trucks can become menaces, highways and roads—fuming bottlenecks, Subways can jam and buses simply refuse to handle an ' ever-increasing load, Local communities have been doing their best to keep'ahead of the problems, But new help is available—for now and for the future, People come first. People really do"come first. That's why the Government of Ontario is encouraging an urban transportation system that will serve Ontario people the way they should be served—efficiently, comfortably, inexpensively, and with the least possible disruption of natural surroundings, The Ministry of Transportation and Communications has instituted GO A NEW WAY, an urban transportation program to develop modern transit systems in our towns and cities and to support them financially, ;New transit vehicles. Comfortable vehicles and convenient facilities make'public transit attractive, So the government is paying 75% of the cost of municipal buses, streetcars, trolley buses and re lated•facilities, Go Urban. A new, exciting inter- mediate -capacity transit system is being developed for large urban munici- palities,The system will be fully automated, quiet and emission -free, It is much Tess costly than subways or express- ways. may use existing • tights -of -way, and its elevated guideways cause little interference with regular pedestrian or vehicle traffic, Cities will be subsidized to the extent of 75% in applying the GO URBAN system to their needs, 75% 25% New transit whirler...

Another way to reduce peak -load conges- tion is to stagger working hours and alter daily and weekly traffic patterns. If passenger demands can be spread over longer periods. people can be moved more quickly, Feasibility studies will be subsidized up to 75%n, . The government is implementing a staggered working hour proram for its own employee , nd hopes others will b efit from its findings. .S tri gerrd mirk* hoary.

Municipal studies on these subjects are ,upported financially, Co-ordination is vital. Normal transit routes often carry our people across municipaj boundaries. Co-operation and co-ordination in inter -community transit planning, therefore, ajc becoming more and more essential, . Your government has intensified the efforts and resources devpted to the co-ordination of transportation planning. GO Dial a Bus.

Dial A• Bus is now operating in Pickering, Stratford, Kingston, Ottawa and Bramalea and will be operating soon in north Metro Toronto. • GO A NEW WAY puts people first. all the way. And people have,to be involved to make it work. • Resources, research and finances are available to, help urban municipalities in Ontario build trans- portation systems that will surpass anything else in existence today. And prove that cities really are for people. vwdli Urban transportation will be one of the most significant challenges facing us all for treats to come, That's why the Government of OntariQ developed GO A NEW WAY, a modern transportation program for the needy of Ontario communities.

Volunteer drivers are aval call 482-3416, for evergreens Contrary to popular belief, ' evergreens require considerable care if .they are to make their way through the winter and into the spring in good shape. Care of evergreens is especially im-• portant this year because of the hot, dry conditions that have prevailed in.southern'Ontario during the last several months. Many, broad-leaved decid- uous trees lost their foliage early this year because of the hot, dry weather. Evergreens appear to have suffered less, but they could be severely injured by a cold winter if sufficient mois- ture is not available to their root systems. Valuable evergreens, such as Junipers, yews, spruce, and pine, should receive a• thorough watering before the ground free- zes up, says R.A. Fleming, horticultural specialist, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Make sure that' the soil• around the base of the tree is moistened to a good depth. Otherwise the roots will not be able to supply the top of the tree with sufficient moisture during the winter months. Achievement Days announced The Home Economics Branch' of the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food is again hold- ing 4-H Homemaking Club Achievement Days in Huron County.

October is bulb time Ontario's 245 horticultural;, societies have selected October as "bulb planting month" because it is the best time of year to plant spring -flowering bulbs. Now is the time to prepare soil and get on with the job if you want a spectacular spring show, suggests Russ Gomme, hortic- ultural specialist with the Ont- ario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Tulip or daffodil bulbs planted now will blctbm next spring. Given a reasonable•start, the bulbs will produce blooms year after year. Easy growing tulips and daff- odils are among the first spring blooming flowers. Remember that many varieties prefer a semi -shaded area. All types do best in a properly drained; rich garden loam.

Smith Harvestore Products. in the USA I received a booklet telling us;. 'How far- mers make food America's best buy." Since the difference between US food cost and buying habits differs not too much from ours, I will use some figures out of this booklet with the kind per - .mission of the Harvestcre com- pany. To illustrate the efficie- ncy of the' Nath A merican Far- mer, it is stated that where four,per cent of our population feeds the 96 per cent of non- farmors,` in,,a country like Pak- istan it takes 74, per cent of the population to feed -the country and then at only a fraction of the luxurious food we are used., ' to, and think of all the food we . export besides. *0104* The average American had to work six hours and 20 minutes for a weeks food last year. The Canadian took 40 minutes lon- ger to work for his daily bread. The book states that Canadians had to spend 20 per cent of their,income on food, but Can- adian statistics say it is 17 per cent, The western European has to work more than twice as long as a Canadian, and in some African countries it takes 70 per cent of a man's News from Central FIRE PREVENTION Since this is Fire Prevention Month, Hullett Central had an all school fire drill on Monday, October 15. The Blyth Fire Department supervised the bill. After the drill the grade eight and grade two students were sh- own demonstrations about class "A" fires, class "B" fires and class "C" fires. They were then shown how to use the extinguish ers, The firemen gave another demonstration for the junior wing pupils showing thwir clothing, the hoses and the truck. Then they were very kind to answer everyone's ques .tions. OMISSION Unfortunately two of the tea- chers on the staff at Hullett Cen- tral School were omitted in the description two weeks ago. The other teaches are, Mn. Regina Jenkins who is Librarian and Grade Five language teacher, and Mrs, Barbara Richmond the Remedial Reading teacher. Calorie counters meet The weekly meeting showied eight people present; three of whom were re -joiners. They . opened the meeting with exer- cises in the gym. The business part of the me- eting was opened with the pledge. Roll call shoed a gain of three and one half pounds and a loss of four and one half pounds. Alma Madill was Queen of the week and received her fern. Alberta Hudie was winner of the Queen of the Month contest and received one dollar, and the crown for her efforts. There is Still six weeks to work for the ,big money given out every three months. New members . are asked t6 accept the chall- enge, Jo Cronin's graduation cere- monies brought the evening to a close. Brenda Brooks expla- ined the significance of one rose and Ruth Thamer described the 3 C's pin.. Kay Konarski won'the lucky draw. They meet every Wednesday evening in the Public School at 8:00 p. m. time jusf to provide food for his family. **Ick If industrial wages had kept pace with food prices, instead of running away, the wages would be 40 per cent lower. than they are now' and don't forget that a. good part of our food cost is those same wages, If food prices had kept pace with your wage increases, you would have paid last year 55 cents for a quart of milk, $2.67 for a round steak, $1.61 per dozen eggs etc, 410101*.I?IQk While many people have been very loud in their condemnation of increased food costs, there are other items essential to life that have geen going up more and drew less fire. An exce- ption xception is the„doctors' bill who drew a lot of fire for a long time already. But,who heard much complaints about cloth- ing that went up as much as food (35 per cent) a postal costs up 82 per cent, or hospital rooms, up 16 per cent or auto insurance, up 81 percent. Also it becomes easily buried in the hullabaloo about higher food costs, that of the 37 per cent increase in food cost of the last 10 years, the increase in farm cost was only per cent, the other food cost increases are of an industrial nature, mainly wages.

Dear Editor: I noticed an ad in your Sept. 19 edition stating the Huron Federation of Agriculture ur- ged everyone to vote yes for Toll free service from Wingham to Blyth, Brussels, Auburn, Gorrie and Teeswater. I won- der if they could explain their reasons, The way it is now if you want to call Wingham from any of these points, you pay for it. The way they want it, if you call you w ill still pay only not so much as an individual beca- use everyone subscribing will help pay. In other words our monthly rate will increase. It has to because if Bell Canada loses $200 in toll charges monthly, they have to get that money back through monthly rent. So if you don't call Wing - ham and there are dozens of older folks, widows, widowers, retired people and individuals who don't, you will be help- ing pay for someone else's call. I This is selfishness on the Feder- aHon'spart -- thinking only of themselves. Also the way it is now friends think twice before visiting on a long distance charge -- the way they want it, you can visit (what seems to be free) thus making the telephone 1, REMEMBER HELP YOUR RED CROSS TO:HELP harder to get and functioning less succesful, It would be far better if there was no toll free areas -- pay for every call then the ones that use the phone would pay 100 per cent accord- ingly. So vote no and help keep your costs down. Chairman, Vote No Committee Afraid You're Going Deaf?

Glorious golden days with the `foliage flung across the land in such ,magnificence it's as though the Creator were chuckling, "1 am far from dead. Just try to match this with your puny . genius," Nights are remarkable. ' Cool enough for a sweater, but usually calm, . Perfect for a stroll around the side streets of a small town, with the smell of burning leaves poignant on the soft air,' and the spurt of orange flame as someone pokes up his fire. It's against the law. to burn leaves, but such laws were not made for small towns, and are gener•• ally ignored. Any why not? All the burning leaves in all the small towns of Canada wouldn't pollute the air as much as one hour on five per cent of the highways in Canada, with ;about a, million stinking cars belch- ing their bad breath. But October has some- • thing for everyone. The . hunter is happy. He 'can squat in a blind until he's almost crippled, or lurch through a swamp until he's almost on his last lurch, He may see nothing mare than a few late and lazy crows, or the starling head- ing south, but by George, he feels great when he gets home and tracks mud all over the house, and tears into that peanut butter sandwich his irate wife has left out for him. More intelligent hunters,• of course, will go after partridge, and prowl along an old bush road in corn- fort, The most intelligent hunters will sit down in the sun, lean against the bole of a tree, have a perfectly relaxed nap, and go home ''''aIIIIIIIIIIIIlII11II1i11111IIHhIIIIIIIllIIIIII1111IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII • with a good appetite and a clear conscience, Fishermen like October. They flog themselves out of bed in order to hit the water at dawn, Every one of them has a lurking hunch that this morning he's going to hit that big rainbow, And he can stand there, shivering, in the misty morning, happy in the knowledge that none of the nuisance anglers of Opening Day will be fouling his line, scaring the fish, They're all home in bed. For the sports fan, October is the zenith of the year. He might see almost nothing of his family for a month, but he's as happy as an idiot with an ice cream cone, sitting in front of the boob tube, wildly switching channels as he tries to clubhouse sandwich the height of the football season, the beginning of the hockey season,. and the World Series, •, • October is Thanksgiving. By some piece of uncanny .good luck or good judgment, it usually ' turns out to be a beautiful weekend, and this year's was nigh perfect, in these parts. It's a grand occasion for closing up the cottage, or getting together with the family for a gorge of turkey and punkin pie, or just getting,out into the country and counting the things you have to be thankful for. This year we had our daughter and her husband for the holiday. She insisted on cooking the entire Thanksgiving dinner, And she insisted on using her method, which is known as slow roasting. This method "keeps all the good of the turkey in, and when it's finished, it's so tender it just falls off the bones," End of quote. You cook it for hours and hours at about 200. degrees, instead of the usual 325 or so. Many a turkey I've cooked in the normal fashion, and they always come out golden, meat falling off the bones, I said, "Carry on, kid," IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII1 e BLYTLME1T Al Phone 523-4551 FRESH HOME-MADE "PORK SA US .

The bird gets too slow a burn My wife bit her lip, her tongue and her fingernails, but kept silent. Every hour or so she couldn't stand it, and would sneak out, while Kim wasn't in the kitchen, and have a look, The turk just lay there, like a big, dead bird, It was pretty obvious that the only process that was setting in was rigor mortis; But no interference with modern methods. The grand moment arrived, after cook- ing a nine -pound bird, practically a midget, for nine hours, Her husband can't carve, so I did the honours, I like my steaks rare, but I can't say I'm wild for rare turkey. I almost sprained my wrist on my first slice with the carving knife, Meat falling off the bones? I had to tear.it off with pliers, But it was a great dinner, The stuffing was well and truly stuffed, the canned peas were exceptionally tender, and the white wine was bang on. There was only one catch, The kids had to get their bus right after dinner, That. was Monday evening, My wife and I looked at -the kitchen, looked at each other, and went to bed, We finished doing the dishes Wednesday evening, if* 'Opt do' iititNiivis: BETrER THAN IH "Old You, CJ. • storing Ph. 52=4272' R.

Hill: of the Huron County Planning Department tpld a meeting of the Clinton Kinsmen last week. -.°1 , Mr Hill made those remarks about the prospects of a large tourist. influx connected with the now developing Hullett Marsh. Mr. Hill said that the 5, 500 acre marsh has the potential of attracting up 50,000 people a year with such features as a water fowl sanctuary and hun- ting, bird watching and cain- ping facilities. He said that these people will need many services inclu- • ding food, lodgingand supplies and it is up.to the people of' Clinton to provide these services or have someone Comeini to build them. . The Huron County planning department has done extensive mapping and studies on. the des- ignated impact area around the marsh - about one mile,in.all directions and has come up -with five sites in'the impact area that could-become"service areas. He saIdthat only one or two sites _would beallowed to be de- veloped beyond their present • agriculture uuse. Mr, ]-Till said that because the. Hullett Ma rsh is the largest: waterfowl management area in Southern Ontario, Clinton will have thousands of visitors to Theatre Passe Muraille returning to Huron The Passe Muraille Theatre Group from Toronto, who made Huron County come alive in the play "The Farm Show," are coming back to South Western Ontario this fall to tour an all new production. Last year, the Theatre group spent the summer on the Ray Bird farm on the Maitland Line of Goderich Township and ' from their experiences there, . they wrote and produced a play on the people and events, in the area that subsequently was an overwhelming success in Toronto,' Ottawa and many samll towns in Ontario: Paul Thompson, director of the Theatre, said last week that the group will be premiering a play based on the Donnellys of Lucan who were involved in a feud in that town. Called "Them Donnellys," theplay will open on Novem- ber 19 and will be on tour ° for two weeks. It will play Orangeville, Hanover, Listowel, Clinton, Petrolia, and will finish on the Shakespearean Stage in Stratford on Dece- mber 3. The new production will play in Clinton on November 24, a Saturday night and Novem- ber 25, a Sunday afternoon. Again,as last spring, the play wilbe staged at the Clinton Community Livestock barns and will be sponsored by the Huron Central Agriculture Society. No ticket costs have yet been ' set. Mr. Thompson said the cast of the play'willhave Farm Show regulars David Fox, Miles Potter , Ted Johns and Janet Amos, as well as eight or nine new actors and actresses. The Campbells report from Australia Hugh and Orlena Campbell are presently on a working holiday visiting Australia. They have provided a great deal of infor- . mation about the country thr- ough letters to Hugh's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Campbell. Dear Mom & Dad: We are still at Alice Springs working hard. We will work two more weeks then off explor- ing again. Phil, our cycling Canadian friend is coming down from Darwin to explore this area with us, then he goes to New Zealand and we go to Darwin. Last Saturday we went to Henley -on -Todd regatta. We laughed and laughed, it was so funny. The boats were bottom, less and the hulls were held waist high by the crews, whose thrashing legs propelled them along the sandy, dry bed of the river. The crews of about 12 men- often found their boat top heavy or else they had lost a man overboard, It was funny to see the guy at the end lose his balance and be dragged along by the others, trying to get back on his feet. They also had a pole "climb- ing contest but the pole was greased, very well greased. Another attraction was a sand shovelling contest, filling 40 gal. drums. And even a ding- hy race, The dinghy was on railway tracks. The five men sat in the little car, resembling • a dinghy and wed shovels as paddles (in the sand) to push them along. At the end of the track all jumped out and turned their dinghy around on'the track quickly jumped back in and paddled like mad. It really was an enjoyable day. Yesterday, they had the camel races. Hugh went to them but I had to work. He said he was amazed at how fast the camels moved along. I had a funny experience yesterday. When I finished putting through a $40 order fee. groceries, the gentle- man bought me a bag of choco- lates. That really made my day. Lately I keep getting into arguments on religion with a Jehovah Witness chap at the Caravan Park. He keeps telling me that there is only one organ- ization which God is going to allow to be everlasting. And that in 1975 there is going to be something drastic happen to the world, like another war. I be- lieve each person has their own religious beliefs and ideals. So now I try to avoid him, he has his ideas and I have mine. Now we are sitting on the ground about 50 miles from Alice Springs on Amburla Stat- ion at a Camp Draft. Know what that is? Somewhat like a rodeo. A cowboy has to go into a pen of steers, pick one out, get it out of the pen and around some poles within a certain period of time. This afternoon there is to be a cow milking contest, an over 40 race and a barbeque. I wish I could paint because the setting here is magnificent. We face the Mac- donnell Range which is a reddish color with a brilliant blue sky. The only problem is the flies - thousands and thousands of flies. Two Weeks later. `'Last weekend a large group of us went out to Palm Valley about 90 miles from Alice Springs. We had a fantastic day waking • up the valley from one pool of water into another. It looked so unusual to see palm trees in the centre of Australia. We had a yummy lunch of chicken, po- tato sklad and even apple pie and cream. I managed to get my- self quite a sunburn. Take care now, Orlena and Hugh. cope with each year and_ could °- - profit, by the venturerbecause the town has all the services required for motels,_ etc, About -$1, 5 million has al- ready been spent.to'.date, Mr. Hill said and the project is still three years from comple-_ tion. He: said that Clinton has gone through an identity crisis since the base closed and now • is the time for the town to re-exam the their priorities now that " recreation has been"thrust into• the- forefront. • U.C.W.
