Lake Huron Parkway idea thbestudie:d BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER • Members of Huron County Council gave their approval • last Friday: in Goderich for the Lake Huron Parkway Com- mittee comprising presentat- Ives from Huron, Lambton and _the"City- of Sarnia, to make a feasibility study of the area from Sarnia along Lake Huron to A mberley. The purpose of the study is to determine what could be done to improve that area as fan as the tourist industry is .concerned, as well as for the enjoyment of residents in the immediate district. Ultimate plans are for the possible for- mation of a• Parkway Comm- ission. Reeve Anson McKinley, Stanley Township, is chair- man of the Lake Huron Park= way Com tnittee. He told council an "inventory" is necessary as well as a study into the distance inland a Parkway Commission would have jurisidiction over. He did not see the feasibility study as.an expensive under- taking although suggestion was it would cost approxi- mately $50 000 to $75,000.. "All the information needed is available, " said McKinley.. "It just has to be put together."

Also changed was the name of the organization, formerly known as the Huron Progressive Conservative (Provincial) Assoc- iation. STANDARD, October 31, 1973, bout a evelopment Qorporation? In the big cities of Ontario, every day brings change. Every day there are new buildings going up: new places for people to live;new places for people to 'work; new places - far people to shop. Development is such a good business that everyone wants to get into the act. But in small centres like Blyth, devel- opment comes slowly and even though there are people with money to invest .and there are things that need doing, little development is done. Business opportunities are many in Blyth, right now. Needed a trailer park for the growing number of people who want to live in mobile homes. There are more commercial• build- ings needed so that Blyth can get new commerical operations such as a drug store, jewellery or florist's. But these things aren't being done because noone with the money is interested ' in developing Blyth right now. What is needed. is for we, the people of Blyth. and area, to deed op our own village. The instrument for doing so is the development corporation. A few far-sighted people in other towns have tried this method and helped their towns grow. A corporation is 'set up and shares are sold to local people. That means if you have a thousand dollars to invest or just $10 or $20 you can buy some shares in your own future. The corporation would be run by an elected board of directors from the village and district who would make use of the -money within the comm- unity to provide needed services and earn a profit for the shareholders. No doubt the organization would start small, but we have little doubt thatitwould soon grow and help provide many of the services the people of Blyth and area need like new stores to shop in, new apartments or places.to live and new businesses to v'ork in. It could initiate projects on its own, or simply help out others by providing financing. Suppose, for instance, someone was interested in building a motel in Blyth but lacked the capital to do so. They could approach the development corporation and, if the board of directors was satisfied with the qualifications of the individual, could be loaned the money to start the business. The' man would have the money needed, the investors would make a profit, and the community would benefit. ' Why should we continue to send investment money out of town to mortgage companies or in savings bonds when this money could do mare good and earn just as good a profit in our own community?- If we want to take action, we could be . leaving it here where we can all benefit from it.

The Liberal Party of Quebec has swept to an astounding victory. The results of the election will not be known for some years to come. The only thing of which there is no doubt is that the Bourassa government doesn't have to worry about getting defeated in the house for the next few years. Other things are still unsure. For instance, many people said the victory crushed separatism in Quebec. Really, it's too early to tell. If for instance, the people of English-speaking Canada feel that separatism is dead and they can go back to wing Quebec as they wish without any attempt to treat French • Canada as a partner in Confederation, separatism in Quebec will be far from dead. The huge Liberal minority is comforting in that it lets us know in English Canada that Quebecers want to remain in Canada, but it should not be a signal for us to reverse the policy of trying to bring greater equality to those who speak French. Separatism may also get new impetus if the Bourassa governmentis unable to govern properly with its huge maj- ority. If it doesn't like what it sees in the next four years, the unpredictable Quebec electorate might just swing to independence. One thing the election does prove though, is that the people of the province wanted to know clearly where the parties stood. The Liberals came out strongly for Confeder- ation. The Parti Quebecois came out for independence. ' The Creditistes and the Union Nationale waffled in the middle. The wafflers got wiped`out because people wanted a clear choice once and for all. And the vast majority wanted political stability so chose the Liberals. This waffling has hurt parties before. Federal Progressive Conservative leader Robert Stanfield's talk about two nations within one country was sufficiently vague in 1968 and again in 1972 to mean the party was nearly held score- less in Quebec. It seems maybe the Quebec voter is sharper than the voter elsewhere in that he wants no bull, just the facts. If so, it's a trait that might be welcomed in the rest of the nation, MMM,•.IAVEL`I LIME DARLIN'...

REX'ARRISON BLIMEY! EVEN WHEN I THINK `10UNG I CAN'T GET UNDER FIFTY; "- BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER During recent weeks there has been a growing controversy in . my area about school buses and • school bus drivers, For a good many years now, school buses have been a bone of contention for :ne, for when my children were younger and we lived in a rural community they rode to and from school each day on one of the big yellow monsters of the highway. Now that my children no lon- ger depend on school buses to get then back and forth to school, school buses still present a problem to me for they are • on the highway many times when I want to travel .... and they present a real safety hazard : not only for the children who are riding in them, but for the drivers who must share the road with them. Let me first off say that school buses appear to be a necessary evil in these modern days in which we live. Consolidated schools mean children have much longer distances to travel to clas- ses and they have no alternative but to ride to and fro in some z.totorized conveyence or another. But it must soon be recognized that school buses stopping• and starting on heavily -travelled provincial highways are not only a nuisance but the makings of many accidents - major and nirior - which leave motorists disgruntled and disgusted every school day from about 7:30 to t• 9 a. rn. and 3:30 to 5 p. m. There is a common assump- tion among rural people that because their children must travel to school by bus, it just naturally follows that they must be picked up at their homes. , That's why school buses seem to stop at every gateway no matter how close those laneways are .... and why somebuses are even expected to snake danger- ous turn-arounds on busy roads just to give at -the -gate service to some able bodied student who could easily have walked the quarter-mile,to a safer stopping point. School boards all over the province have endeavoured to provide this tremendous at -the - gate service for every child - and many school board members have taken severe tongue lash- ings from irate parents who want to know why their children must walk 200 feet while the neigh- bour's kids are picked up right at the gateway, The argument most normally expressed by these taxpayers is that it is simply not safe for their children to walk on a busy highway at a busy hour. In towns and cities all over this province, however, children from kindergarten through Grade 13 brave the elements and the traffic to walk to and from school. ' Many of them must cross danger- ous roads and intersections. Some must trudge along heavily travelled streets without the bene- fit of sidewalks. Theirs is a ' daily problem and they learn to cope because there is simply no other way to get to school. There should be some real consideration given by school boards across the province to the possibility of limiting the number of stops any school bus .Hakes on a busy highway. Secondary roads maybe treated in a different manner, but on main thorough- fares, some special legislatiDn must be enacted to protect the motorist as,well as the school children. Perhaps there could be speci- fied stops along the route - no more than one every mile - with signs clearly indicating to• the motorists that this a pick up and drop off area for school children. Maybe these school bus stops could have a bench for waiting and a portable shelter far winter months. Maybe footpaths could be constructed at the side of the roadways to accommodate not only pedestrian traffic but bicycles as well. Or maybe the best answer is to build sideroads along main highways for school bus travel in the morning and evening hours during the school year , and slow moving vehicle traffic as well as bicycles in the off hours and during the summer months. All I'm saying is that school buses are hereto stay and there must be some provision made in the future to ensure that as roads become more jammed with traf- fic, the school buses will create less and less problems. That would be costly, you moan. Of course it would be. Who ever said that safety came cheap? For that matter, who ever said that we should put a price limit on that which would make highway travel pleasant and almost hazard -free?

BY PAS'IWR ALFRED FRY, AUBURN AND DONNYBROOK UNITED CHUB CH, In the scriptures we read of an encounter between Jesus and Peter; Jesus had d been warning His friends of his pending betrayal and death upon the cross, of how many would turn against Him, but Peter exclaimed "Lord I will never leave you even if others should do so." Jesus answered, "Peter, before the cock crows in the morning, you will have denied me three times", And Peter did, ' How many times have we been just as guilty. as Peter in this respect? It has been said "Never make a vow unless you are prepared to keep it," We are living in days when many people (Even in high places) place little value in vows taken. It is easy to sign a contract fcr any reason, but it takes real strength of character to stand by it. In the Christian church we are very much aware of this, and at tines it is heart- breaking, Two people come to the church for the marriage ceremony. In the presence of God, and these witnesses we declare our mutual love, and will keep our vows until death do us part. Many join the Church upon profession of their faith in God, and in Jesus Christ taking solemn vows of loyalty that they will attend the services and do all in their power to promote the work of the Church. Many bring their children to be ded- icated to God at a service of baptism, promising faithfully to bring up these children in the love and nurture of the Lord this means attending the services and bringing the children also. Many of these never darken the church doors again. Who are they denying by these actions? None other than Jesus Christ, the one who loved them and gave Himself for them. The word of God is very clear on this point, for everyone must give account for everyidle word they speak, (Rather startling is it not?) Jesus also says "That if we deny Him, He will deny us before His Father in Heaven." May God help us to remember our vows, and if we are away from Christ and His Church, may we get back to Him, while we have the time and the opportunity, according to the signs of the times as recorded In Matthew 24. Time is running out. Huronview Auxiliary meets.

The seminar, to be held at the University of Guelph on Saturday, November 3, is sponsored by the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, of which there is an active branch in Huron County, The Theme is: "conservation -:A Construct- ive Community Policy" and the A.G.O. claims it is timely because at long last municipal officials and conservationists in many areas are beginning.to think alike, Demolition of his- toric and architecturally worth- while buildings to make way for "down town renewal" and for additional high rise building is losing favour. with planners gen- erally. "The big argument against conservation was MONEY", the A. G.O. points out in its seminar announce ment. "Now, some governments, some public off- icials, even a few developers and a growing number of private and corporate citizens are get- ting the message." "They've discovered there's money in conservation". That, the Conservancy people believe, makes all the differe- nce. On hand"at the Guelph seminar will be civic officials, architects, the general public and even a few developers to prove it. Meetings commence at 12 noon and continue till 5:00 p. m. The sessions are open to all citizens interested in conservation and restoration. Tickets, obtainable through the local Conservancy Branch or from the Wellington County Branch, Post Office Box 574, Guelph, are $5.00, including lunch. On the program are John Fisher (Mr. Canada), Canadian Cent- ennial Commissioner and auth- ority of restoration projects ac - rest:, Canada; Robert Phillips, executive director of Heritage Canada, Ottawa; two Toronto developers who have found bigger profits in restoring old buildings than building new ones; representatives of a Hamilton group which buys, restores, then leases ca sells old buildings, and a representative from Waterloo Regional Government which has recently set up a foundatk:n to fund such purchase and restora- tion of historic architecture. A special feature will be a discussion of the Industrial Estate as a means of centralizing indu- stry outside all municipal bor- ders to reduce civic pollution and eliminate the scramble among cities, towns and even villages for industry.

JENE MILLER , One of the mat foolish ideas in the modern mind is that youth have it easy in their world, The fact that suicide is the number two killer, that every semester their whole future comes up for grabs in the tests they must pass if they hope togo on with education, and the fact that they are not even promised there will be a future to go on to, all combine to create a vast ocea:. of anxiety on which their lives must sail, Youth are looking desperately for the rudder and sail to move their lives across the ocean of trouble and uncertainty. Some are going into religious groups -- stable and fanatic; staid and frantic. Some are, joining rel- igious orders of tight discipline and relentless demands. Some are buying time in religious seminaries until they can get bearings from which to choose a vocation more involved in human need. Some youth are finding the world's promises of success, status and satiety -- which " parents often extol as the real measures of fulfillment -- as their goals and rewards. Some are openly hostile at religious and educational ins- titutions which spend hours haggling over adninsitrivia (a word coined by the Rev. Robert Gentry, Houston, Texas) while the world goes up in flames or down in some indu- strially poisoned sludge pit. 1 The destiny of today's leadership will not be measured by oratorical splendor nor ins- titutional perfection, but by leading the way into the bat- tles which are really worth the pain and agony of daily living for the teeming teens. Today's youth will not waste their sweat -wrought time try- ing to saddle a dead horse. Mothers' group to take first aid • The regular meeting of the Blyth Community Mother's group was held in the parlour of Blyth United Church on Thursday morning at 10:00 a. m. with "nine mothers and 13 children present.

Facts about snowmachines Snowmobiles come in a variety of sizes and models with prices usually beginning in the $600 to $800 range depending on the province and ranging to more than $2, 000; as the horsepower rises. The average speed of the smaller models is about 25 to 40 miles an hour but rac- ing models reach speeds of almost 90. Most snow mobile manu- facturers offer tachometers, odeometers, speedometers and easy access covers. Sizes of tracks which turn to propel the machines vary according to the manufacturer. Besides safaries, ,moonlight parties and general family out - Ings by snow mobile, the ma- chines enable farmers to del- iver feed to their cattle after a heavy snowfall and timber companies to survey areas , they could seldom reach in winter before. Most accidents are caused 'by neglect -- crossing a highway and be ing in collision with a mtor vehicle, or drow- ning after cracking through thin ice. The number of 'accidents and deaths has resulted in "a code of safety ethics which is publi- shed by the International Snow- mobile Industry Association. Among the tips are to cross highways carefully, never tra- vel on railroad tracks, avoid thin ice, use the !'buddy'' system and learn the wind chill factors.

The snowmobile was invented race in 1936,by Joseph Bombardier of Quebec Who realized the need for a- vehicle that could move over snow after his son died of appendicitis;' it was impossible to get him to 'a hospital in time through heavy drifts.

All snowmobiles can be dangerous if not handled properly. Excessive speed, lack of caution and proper tra- ining have caused many acci- dents, some of them fatal. One winter, a Toronto woman was killed when going at high speed on her.borrowed snow- mobile, She crashed into a tree on a golf course. Unfortunately, some novices get lulled into a false sense of security by the apparent handling ease of the snowmobile, but are often un- familiar with their machine and can easily lose control when going too fast, It's important to know the local weather conditions before going snow mobiling. Below freezing temperatures are best, as snowmobiles don't take too kindly to' slushy snow. And if crossing a frozen lake on your snowmobile, be sure the ice is thick and safe, It wouldn't be very pleasant to go crash- ing through thin or "rotten" ice into freezing water, and it could be fatal. If your appetite has been whetted for snow mobiling, but you're still a bit leery of taking the financial plunge, don't despair!

Of the 93 snowmobile deaths , last winter, 47 resulted from . collisions. with other motor vehicles, One of the victims was a nine-year-old boy whose snowmobile collided with a car on a main highway, - The Canada Safety Council" recommends that snow mobilers using their vehicles for recrea- tion stay -off, public roads. The Council also says that snowmo- bilers should tow their vehicles across public roads manually although driving them across under power is generally legal. Driving snowmobiles at night proved'to be the most hazardous practice of all. Of the fatali- -ties, 28 took place at night. Broken down by location, 22 of the total number of deaths, • took place on municipal roads, 21 on secondary roads and d four on main highways. While legislation varies widely - from province to province, snow- mobiles are generally allowed on roads except on -main highways. Where snowmobiles are allowed on roads, -registration is compul- sory. - There are more than 350,000 registered snowmobiles in Canada, ' about half of the snow mobiles in use. The unregistered vehicles are supposed to be used only on private property. Apart from traffic deaths, 21 . snowmobilers drownedof whom. 11' were operating their machines Getting your machine ready for winter Snowmobile timeis here and fcr those who haven't done so, it is important to properly prepare your snow:inobile for the season. Here's what service engineers recommend you do before you take that snowmobile out this year. Flush out the fuel tank, clean it thoroughly and then refill with fresh mixture of gasoline and oil. Regular gasoline works best in snowmobile engines, Run the engine atlow speed ,until it has warmed up. Then if necessary, adjust the carburetor. According to the experts, a slag= htly rich mixture is best and will provide both longer engine' life and the best possible perfor- mance under varying operating conditions. An exceptionally lean mix, they say, can cause engine damage. • If the engine rums rough after carburetor adjustments are made, the plug may be dirtyand need replacement. If the plug is re- placed, check the spark gap and be sure plugs are. tightened -pro- perly. _ • - Lubricate all wear points but' be careful not to spill grease or oil- on belts or the track. The lubricants can damage these pa Check the .tension on drive track,and.drive,chain, and adjust if necessary. Also'check track alignment and adjust this, too if required. . Check the ski alignment. Skis should be parallel or slag- ,- - htly toed -in. Do' all this H- itwon't take long and your machine is ready for another 'season' of fun and- excitment on the trail. at night.

P. for Huron, spoke October 23 in the Legislature on behalf of his own Bill designed to improve the safety of those students who travel by schoolbus. Mr. Riddell emphasized the responsibility of the Ontario Government to ensure the stud- ents'.safety, "Largely due to the centralization of our school system and of county school boards, well'over half,a million of Ontario's school children do travel by schoolbus. To my mind, students who travel by schoolbus deserve special atten- tion from the Government. These young people are really involuntary passengers: they need to go to school and the schoolbus is the only means by which they can get there. Since they are involuntary passengers, the Government has a special res- ponsibility to ensure that all . possible steps are taken to ensure their safety. The safety of our children cannot be over emphas- ized. Surely there could be no more precious cargo than Ontar- io's students." Mr. Riddell's Bill would bring about action in two areas: the schoolbus driver, and the school - bus itself. An aspiring schoolbus driver would have to not only pass, the present test for school - bus drivers but also have clean driving and police records and take compulsory courses in de- fensive driving, highway safety and emergency first aid. A schoolbus driver would be retes- ted before renewal wab granted. Speaking on the design and construction of schoolbuses, Mr. Riddell called for all schoolbus- es used -in Ontario to c onfor m to the standards established by the Canadian Standards Associa- tion. Furthermore, Mr. Riddell called for increased padding and other -safety features for the int- erior of schoolbuses. "Just con= sider the inside of a schoolbus, Where the law requires that private automobiles must be , equipped with protective padded' seatbacks, the schoolbus is qui- pped with a rigid steel bar that runs across the back of each seat - back at just the right height to mutilate the face and teeth of a child thrown forward by a sud- den stop or collision. The law requires that private automo- biles be equipped with' seatbelts. While seatbelts are probably not appropriate for schoolbuses, padded -armrests could be prov- ided"to ensure that the child is restrained within the passen- • ger area. This feature should be combined with automobile dash -type padding in the pass- enger area and onseatbacks. The passenger will thereby be held in the passenger seating area and the passenger seating area will be fully padded." Mr.' Riddell concluded by calling on the Legislature to face its responsibility -and .act to improve the safety of those students who travel by school - bus. "There is a crying need for `action to improve the saf- ety of our schoolbuses. We as Legislators havean unshakeable responsibility to take steps to satisfy that need.- There can be no more important task to come before this Legislature thanto • protect the safety of our children, I feel confident that this House will face that responsibility and legislate this Bill into law. !' �'o THE BLYTH STANDARD, October 31, 1973.

Born at Edinburgh, Scotland in 1895 he began painting at an early age and with the exce- ption of 20 years between 1930 and 1950 when he painted lit- tle, his w crk has maintained a steady pace. Since 1950 Mr. McLaren estimates he has com- pleted one painting every two days for a total of approxima- tely 41C0 completed works. Mr. McLaren carne to Canada in 1915 and took up residence in West Toronto where he law graduated from Humberside Colleg iate.- In 1912 he returned to his native Scotl nd and studied at the Fdfabugh College of Art coming back to Canada in 1914 in time to volunteer fa the Princess Pats regiment with the Canadian Army and sail back to Europe and World War One. When that regiment: went b to action in France jack Mc- Laren faand himself attached to the snipers to draw maps and on completion of his first tots in the trenches he wu assigned to organize corcert parties and entertainment for the men in the reserve area, Mr. Mc Ia ren's entertainment cornpa rty met w frit such success that they were neon assigned to providing entertainment on a full time bash and soon comb- used with the "Dumbell," to wak on divisional show. After the war the "Dumbells" played coast to coast in Canada at well as in several American cities and eventually found Itself on broadway. The "Dumbell," were to con- tinue to be a theatrical success across North America for anther 10 years but in 1922 Jack Mc- Laren tzaned his back on theatre and went into business at Taanta. He opened the McLaren Ad- vertising Agency on the same day and in the same city as another Jack McLaren opened a similar agency. The second McLaren went into advertising work fcr newspapers while otr McLaren involved himself with the direct mail and public rel- ation branch of the business. "It was really quite a coinci- dence," jack recalls, "and we were forever getting each other's telephone calls." With fou artisits in his stable and a staff of sales people Jack McLaren rnet with considerable success in the highly compet- itive field of advertising until his retirement in 1954.

During his years in the adv- ertising trade Jack McLaren', career took an interesting turn and one which he now sees as being a break into a truly individual medium. "I was always interested in caricatures," he explains, "and published a series on our Can- adiean fathers of confederation entitled 'Our Great Ones' which was printed from linolium cuts."

Board'of Health Chairman, Gerry Ginn, deputy -reeve. of Goderlch" Township, told : council the report was for „ information only. "We. are not going to ask for decision today," Ginn ex- plained. '"We are still open for suggestions but decision , must be reached by the end of the year so it can be included in the budget. Hopefully, this will be in effect by 1974," According to the report, the cost of a Plumbing Inspection Division is based on the figures . that were available on the sur- vey of residential building for 1971 and 1972, "There, are approximately 400 new residential constructions in the County of Huron in each year,"reported Ginn. When;the Plumbing Inspection bylaw is approved, the cost for inspection of an average single family new residentialdwelling will be a basic inspection fee 01 $15 to cover "time, "travel and help"; plus a bathroom (sink, toilet and tub) $6; laun- dry facility with laundry tubs, $2; kitchen with a kitchen sink, $2; powder room or vanity near the living area of the house containing sink and toilet, $4, • Total approximate cost is $29. "Using thisfigure of $29 then as the figure for a new reside- ntial construction, there would . be an anticipated income of • ; . approximately $12,000 in new single family residential constructions .within the County of Huron," said Ginn.' It is expected that another $6,000. annually would,be real- ized from plumbing alterations for which a flat fee of $15 each is proposed. - Painter CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 complete artist and he had • some pretty thin times." "There were times," Jack recalls,, "when you could buy - a Jackson painting for $15. It • was like that until the dealers -got hold of them and raw the - 8", x 11'! paintings on board, which went for $1S, are selling for $6,000 or mare." - What is the difference bet- ween the painting then and now? - • "The difference is in pro- motion by the dealers," Mr. McLaren admits, "they're the same paintings.'! Mr. McLaren places much of the credit for the Group of Seven's genius with Tom Tho- - mpson. "The group of seven, through Thompson's relationship with A.Y. Jackson, were sparked by Thompson's work and ideas.. He never got the recognition how- - ever because he died before the Group reached prominence," - "I think Thompson was a gen- ius," Mr, McLaren observes. "He was the real start of an • idea and he influenced Jack- - son who lived on to influence others. " . • "Jackson led, I think, be- cause of this dedication and energy." By 1930 Jack McLaren began - to have misgivings about the . Toronto Art community. "I got disgusted with the politics_of art," he explains, "it was no longer what you knew, or how good yottwere, but who you knew and -who you were associated with." "If a new artist came along : it didn't matter how good he - - was but who he was. .-We were living in:a small village really and I guess it was a reaction of jealousy, and self preservat- ion by those who were begin- ning to succeed," !'Bert Brooker and Lwere the first to introduce modern feeling income according to Ginn, is.. $24,000 annually. Total projected expenditures for the plumbing inspection division is $37, 307 including salaries for two public' health inspectors at $9,000 each; one secretary -bookkeeper at $6,200; car allowance for two inspectors, $6,000; office rental, $1,800; office equipment, $3, 492.50 (once only); and office supplies, $1,814,50, Ginn advised it was the in- tention of the Board of Health to engage inspection personnel who could•double as regular public health inspectors and not just plumbing inspection. "In considering the projected income and the projected exp- enditures of the Plumbing Ins- pection Department," reported Ginn, "the minimal expected income from the division would •be $24,000; the projected exp- enditure would be $37,307. The county then would subsid- izing £he plumbing inspection . Division by approximately • $13,000 which would amount to the user supporting 66 2/3. per cent of the cost of the division." "Examination of plumbing inspection receipts in the earlier years of plumbing inspection reflect the difference in standard of living today as in 1960 where one finds that the commonest thing that happened in plumb- ing inspection was the instal- lation of a bathroom and aver- aged a fee of $4.50," said - Ginn. "The receipts do not indicate the amount of time involved, the number of ,calls involved or.the mileage invol= ved, and certainly if these ; figures were used in the proj- ection of 1973 against 1973 in painting -at Toronto," lack recalls. "I did a seven•foot pai- nting of the sounds I,heard on the radio, static and feedback and that sort of thing." - "It was accepted,by the On- tario Society of Art but many • of the academic painters were sore about this hanging in their show," Because of these pressures on art Jack McLaren almost quit painting outright for more than 20 years. "It was a combination of the' politics'in art and the fact that I was busy with, my own business," he explains.. Another of Jack McLaren's :.. " impressionistic paintings grew from his relationship with Dr. Frederick Banting. "Dr. Banting took me to see an operation," he recalls, "I think it was something really quite s imple but I put on the white gown and surgical mask and went into the, operating theatre to watch at close range. I then did' a painting based on my feelings at witnessing the surgery." "There was -no particular re- ason to start painting again; in the early 1950's, but I did, Per- haps I did so, in part because the time. was coming for me to retire, "' he explains. Shortly afterwards he did retire and 10 years ago moved to Ben - miller where he ha's lived and continued to paint, at the rate 'of one painting every two days since. From" this 'huge collection of work will come the 60 paintings which go before; the public on November 15 and 16. The show. ing will also include five flower studies, representative of those floral paintings which have gai- ned Mr. McLaren international renown.

After four short years with Les Seiler as -owner, the Seafcrth Creamery is again booming, no longer ' churning cream to, make butter but stretching out butter to make Elmgrove Dairy Spread. The Dairy Spread which the Seaforth Creamery makes is about 70 per cent butter with the addition of a special moi- sturizing emulsion, Research into the process was done at the University of Guelph, but as far as Les Seiler knows, he's the only'person who's been -- successful successful in producing consis- tently good dairy spread. "The moisture content of the , spread is very high and origi- nally it had -a tendency to go moldy", Mr., Seiler says. At Seaforth Creamery he has dis- covered a way of preventing this. - A creamery in New Dpndee tried making a dairy spread but discontinued. Another company also made the spread for a time. but Les Seiler thought dairy spread could be sold and -came to Seaforth in March of 1969, bought the old creamery building and started producing Elmgrove Spread. - The first two years were tough as Mr. Seiler worked at getting the emulsion he adds to butter to make the spread just right, Then the federal government imposed a tax of 6 cents a pound• on the dairy spread, classing it with imitation dairy products rather than with butter because - it contained less than 80 per cent butter fat. With Seaforth Creamery's profit margin on their spread much smaller than that of the - companies who made imitation whipped topping which contains - edible oils, not real dairy pro- ducts, that 6 -cent tax wiped out most of Seaforth Creamery's profit. About two years ago after a lot of prodding from Mr. Seiler and because of ris- ing food prices and a decline in the amount of butter being made in Canada, the tax• -was removed when Edgar Benson - was Minister of Finance. It was costing the government more to collect the tax from the Creamery than -.the total collected,- Mr. Seiler says. More- money is generated now from his expanded business, including the taxes thatthe business and employees pay, than the 6 cents a pound tax on dairy spread amount to, Mr. - Seiler points out. Since then Seaforth Creamery's business has boomed. They expect to sell nine million pounds of dairy spread this year. Starting with an original staff of Mr. and Mrs. Seiler and one employee, the Creamery now has 18 employees, who work two shifts keeping the creamery -. equipment_ in use from 5 a. m. to 7 p. m. five days a week. Elmgrove Dairy Spread is sold all over Ontario and is trucked from Seaforth to the major chain stores' warehouses. The Creamery has its own tractor trailer. The spread is also ship- ped to Winnipeg where Burns Packersdistribute it through the Prairie provinces and B.C. 13e - cause legislation governing dairy products changes from province to province, the crea- - mery doesn't ship cast of Ontario_. "We haven't really tried to open up a market in the cast - though, because we can't keep up with the demand now", Les Seiler says. He adds that the - Creamery has never had any trouble interesting the chain stores in its product because there is more marks up on a pound of dairy spread than there is on a pound -of butter. The huge demand for Elm - grove Dairy Spread led to the recent modernization program at - Seaforth Creamery; 'A processing room where butter and the emu- lsion is mixed in huge stainless steel churns and the resulting THE BLYTH STANDARD, October 31, 1973. oderneaforth spread formed into pound blocks, and wrapped and packed, has been built on to the existing _ creamery structure. The.well lighted work room is entirely painted white and employees .wear white uniforms and hair nets. Upstairs in the Creamery offices and a common room for, employees have been modernized. The old creamery and the old dairy room are now used for,' " storage of the 56 pound blocks of butter which are used to make Elmgrove Spread. Mr. Seiler says very little Canadian butter.is used because there is' just not enough being made. The Creamery has used ;. Australian butter and recently got a shipment from Ireland. In contrast to the shortage of Can- adian butter now, Mr,, Seiler says that a few years, ago four- year-old butter was being held in storage because of. lack of buyers. The price of butter has increased seven cents a pound • in the four years that the new. , Seaforth Creamery has been in operation. The process which turns blocks of butter into pounds of diary sp- read uses ordinary creamery buttermaking:equipment; The emulsion is mixed in a vat and then piped into the three churns - which to the unitiated look like giant Laundromat clothes -dryers. Blocks of butter, are added and . the -mixture is churned for about 3/4 of an hour. The soft spread is then ladled into large trays . ' on wheels. These are placed in front of three packaging machines where an employee scoops the spread into the machine. These machines form the spread into pound blocks and wrap the blocks in paper. Ano- ther employee packs the wrap- ped pounds of butter into 30 lb. boxes for shipping. Ninety pounds of dairy spread per minute come out of the three packaging machines and the creamery has a daily out- put of about 40,000 pounds, Mr. Seiler says. - The owner and manager of the Seaforth Creamery, .Les Seiler, has been in the cream- - ery business almost all his life. "It's all I've ever done really" he says, "oh,- I went to school • for a few years" ( including high school in Mitchell), he adds. Born in Monkton, where his father had a cheese,factory, Les Seiler remembers helping,to deliver to small country stores in the area and being able to walk through his back yard to the red brick Monkton Public School Playhouse asks for grant BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Ben Tuckey, Exeter, a past warden of Huron County and presently chairman of the Board • of Directors of Huron County Playhouse near Grand Bend, visited Huron County Council last week to request$2,000 in a grant toward the theatre` endeavor. Tuckey told council that while it was forward thinking to plan for the possible Lake Huron Parkway to attract tourists to the, area, it was important to ha'vc something to hold the - interest of the visitors once they have arrived. That's where ser - vides such as Huron Country Playhouse corer in. Attendance it the Playhouse Jincrcased by 60 per cent this year, according to Tuckey. Ile said attendance would- have to go up by at least that much again this coming season. Ile described the Grand Bend theatre effort as "behind the eight hall" where finances are concerned and urged the county to give consideration to the group's request for •additional funding for the coining year. • His father eventually sold.his cheesetfactory to Stacey Bros. and..worked in Mitchell for the. _- Mini when the Monkton cheese factory as closed.. Mr.- Seiler senior,`, was recently honoured by Staceys when he retired after 40 years, as an`employee. Les Seiler- continued his, ass-. ociation with the dairy Indus-.. try, in Pembroke where.he: - operated a Creamery before coming to S,eaforth in -1969, He chose Seaforth -as the location far his'new business because both he and his wife were fami- liar .with the area, Mrs Seiler. says. -Mrs. Seiler is the former Car- olyn Deihl andcoines from Brod- hagen. The -Sellers have,two children, a'girl aged three and a one year old boy. . Mr. Seiler says he doesn't have much time for hobbies but that he enjoys hockey and con., ntry and western' music' Two f ,his seven sisters are twins and they used to sing regular on CKNX radio's I3arn Dance' on..

As a result many young men are not prepared to work•the long hours needed for some-. types of farming. So they leave t1e farm and find themselves an eight to five job in town or city. As one who knows what it is to hold down a job like that, I can't help but feel a certain pity for the fellow who gives up his freedom of decision and his free fresh country air. Dri- ving the tractor across the fie- lds in the crisp autumn, one sometimes feels to be the really lucky one to have all that, while the other poor slobs are waking in industrial fumes or in filtered and conditioned air. When harvesting the crops, there is a certain excitement: Will it be a good crop or a poor one. -Will we get an adeq- uate return on all the money and effc t we put into all this?” If itis a good crop with fair market prices, we heave a sigh of relief. If it, is a poor crop or the market is low, we heave a sigh of frustration and resign ourselves to the facts. THE•BLYTH STANDARD, October 31, 1973. PC. 21. Agricultural 111 b itt But the man with the job is being pressured all the time to keep up doing a good job or he is out on the street. Many . hate the job and alas many hate the firm they work for. Too many feel so frustrated that on Friday night they retire with a case of beer and try to forget the job till Monday morn- ing. So while the farmer sel- dom gets a return on his inves- tment and his labour, I think we still are a lucky lot indeed. So we have to fight all the time to get a fair price, but it is part of the excitement of being in- dependent and a good fight doesn't hurt anyone, even if we get our nose bloodied many a time, Please bear with us, you unionized people, who fight far a fair return for your labour and let us fight fcc a fair return for OUR labour. And we don't mind if you envy us for our fresh air. OH*** From the Harvestcre booklet: During 1972 the market basket, that is the average cost of farm originated foods, increased by $60 per year. The farmer got $42 of this. The rest went to increased wages, transportation etc. You make me sick It would serve this country's whining, complaining, penny- wise, and pound-foolish house- wives right if all the far criers ` started selling everything they produce to foreign countries. The typical modern American urban housewife, for all of her virtues - realand imagined - is a,shcrt-sighted, lazy, pampered little ingrate whose primary interests are her underarms, her hair, her hands, her hips, her overweight and overpaid hus- band, her overindulged and overeducated children and the next episode of General Hospital, in that order. A hard dayls work in a groc- ery store cr a bakery would do her a lot of good. So would taking over the duties of a .farm wife for a while. Maybe then she'd realize that these people have a right to.make a decent living just as much as her union scale husband. Whoever gave the urban housewife idea that she's the .only person in the world having a hard time making ends meet? When was the last time she had to send her kids off to school with a couple of cold' biscults'and a hunk of fatback to hold them until suppertime, or flopped down, bone-weary after working from sunup to sundown, and worried about whether the frost was going to kill the money crop? While milady of the suburbs is soaking in her tub in her Better Homes and Gardens bathroom, thousands of farm wives axe scraping off the dirt of an honest -day's toil in a galvanized laundry tub. And, while Miss Citybritches is spraying on $10 worth of deo- dorant, skin softener, hair spray, and assorted beauty crap, the average' farm wife is counting her blessings bec- ause she was able to swing for a bottle of Cornhusker's Lotion and some Absorbine Junior. If the urban housewife would stop organizing food boycotts and shovel a little cow manure, maybe she'd learn where milk comes from and just how much work is involved before she strains herself ripping open the little waxed carton. Boycott a grocery?. Not me, sister. I still can remember how many people would have ;starved in this country if the - ,independent grocers hadn't carried them on credit during the depression.

These people have dreams too; They pay rent and taxes just like you do. And they deserve to make. just as good a living as you do. Why single them out fordestru- ction? , Why not your husband, the account executive? Why not your husband, the plumber? Why not your husband, the lawyer? Or why not....

It hurts me to face the truth: that most people to- day -under thirty have never known the sensory joys ofa blacksmith's shop, At this time of year, small •boys used to squeeze through ,the ramshackle door, and edge as close as they could to the fire, freez- ing their bums and roasting their • cheeks. There was a fine acrid stench of horse manure and scorched hooves, There was the leap- ing flame as the bellows blew, There was the ringing clang as -the smith "beat out the white-hot metal be- tween hammer and anvil, and the satisfying hiss when the hot metal was plunged into the cold water. At a certain age, most • tnale kids would have set- tled happily for the life of a blacksmith, a free soul who spent his days doing • the most fascinating work in the world, - The decline of the smithy, of course, was brought about by the grad- ual ?hasing'out of another tradition - the horse-drawn vehicle. i wonder how many kids of this generation have ever spent a winter Saturday "catching bobs". This was our term for jumping on the backs of farmers' sleighs. All day long the farmers came and, went to and from town. And all day long we hopped on behind a load of .; grain, left that fora load of supplies. going the other way, picked up a sleigh piled with logs for the re- turn trip, and shivered with delighted fear as the farmers shouted at us and even sometimes ,flourished their whips in our direction. As we. grew a little older, about 12, we a graduated to catching on the wing a cut- ter. This was more daring and more dangerous because they could really fly, the runner was much smaller, and the farmer could turn around andlbelt you one on the ear, Most of them, of course; were pretty decent. i know now that they were more worried about us getting hurt in a fall than they were about the extra weight their horses had to pull, Then there were the butchers' cutters, These consisted of a sort of box with runners beneath, and a step at the back for the driver to stand on. The horses were not plugs, but real road -runners that went like a bat out of hell. They were every bit as exciting as a Roman chariot, and the drivers were the envy of every boy, in fur caps, reins in one hand, whip ,in the other, as ,they tore through the town like furies. And 1 wonder how many boys have played hockey all day on a frozen river, when a hard shot the goalie miss- ed might slide fora quarter of a mile. We never had to worry about ice -time, or changing lines. We could play until we were pooped, then sit by the bonfire until rested, and have another go, And there were always twenty or thirty playing at once, so everybody got a whack at the puck, Some great stick -handlers came out of that era, Think of the depths to which we have sunk, The smithy, with its light and • shadows, its reds and blacks_, it's earthy smells, its sense of life, has been replaced by the garage, a sterile thing with its cement floor, its reek of gas and oil, and its unspoken assurance that thi.is-gonna-cost-you-plenty •buddy.

ROULSTON As many who have.read this paper. know," this is one editor '.who does not harp on the shop at home,theme too often. I believe that the local vier - 'chant doesn't have a "right' . to.your.busine ss but must earn • it in the free competitive market. That means he must provide';' .pleasant siraoundings..fa you to shop in'with good selection and competitive prices. I think those towns that harp the "shop 'at home" theme every year about this time are simply try- ing.to give people guilt feelings so they won'tgo elsewhere to'' shop rather than to Trove to people that they can get what they need at home. At the same time, I think a lot of people fool themselves - and hurt themselves by making a trip to a city shopping centre or to another town to do their shopping. To illustrate, I111 talk about our trip to Toronto this weekend to visit some rel- atives. We took an hour or so to drop down to a big new shop- ping centre in the area. As we walked around, I began to.com- pare it with the shopping avail- able in our own town and des- pite what many think, Blyth came off pretty good even though I must admit I was impressed by the sheer hugeness of the. operation. First and foremost in the argu- ments for shopping centres is . the convenience. I looked at • the size -of the huge building and I realized a good deal of it was • a snow job. One of the largest stares in itself (a department Store) was nearly as low; as the main street of our town and much wider: That means that to -visit every dep- artment, you'd have to walk • far more than -you would to visit every store on main street. One advantage to the shopping centre is that it's all inside, but then you have to warc a heck of a distance outside to ; get to your car in the parking lot (if you can find it at one of . those big plazas). Okay, how about selection, Well, there• is no doubt that the plaza . has more goods on display. You can see 300. panty girdles and 65 color televisions all in One place, as compare with 10 and 15 at home, But how many units of a particular item do. you need on display? EXperi- ence has shown me, that all those items on display is ' to the advantage of the store not the customer because it tends to tempt'the customer into buying something he doesn't really need that much just because the display looks nice, Let's face it, if you can get your size and your colour what does it matter that there are hundreds of items to choose from? Some people, women in par- ticular, often like to go out of town to shop for clothing because they're afraid someone else will walk down the street wear- ing exactly the same outfit. There is that chance. But all stares have to buy from the same handful of suppliers so unless, you go to some exclusive bou- tique and pay $1000 for a dress, you could easily meet someone in the same outfit even if you bought yours in Montreal and someone else bought theirs in London. Selection: we've got some pretty good selection right here in town. Where else for insta- \. nee, are there hundreds of leather coats on display as in. our two mills. Or the hundreds of gloves, hats and sheepskin rugs at the two places. Anyone '. interested can get about every- thing they need for Christmas herein town'.` There are the two mills, a women's clothing store, a men's clothing store, she store, two hardwares, two television and appliance stores, a furniture store, a 54 to $1.00 store, a variety store, a:stat- ionery business, a book store and a boutique selling local • crafts, hand produced that aren't available in any city store . And oLcourse there are (three grocery stores and an ex• - cellent butcher shop. But surely the price makes the difference, It's accepted fact that:the big city stcres sell ,goods cheaper than our small stores,' After all, ,we've been taught that big is best, But • really look at the prices and the quality of the: goods offered. Give a fair comparison to both stores, -Maybe you'll still find itworthwhile to drive. to the' city butIPll bet that if you do find a price advantage in the city stores,it wont be big' en- ough' tb justify, the increased costs you'll incur driving to city with gas and wear and tear on your car and yourself. Now, how about enjoyment of the shopping while you're doing it. To me; there just isn't any comparison.' The small town wins hands down.. , I never have had much pleasure shopping in those huge barns they call department stores with row on row of steel posts, bank : • on bank of flourescent lights and an endless stream of garble over - a public address system' exorting you to buy more. The only' pleasure for me in one of those shopping centres is in the small" stores around the big department stores; the small stores that are just like the one.1s.at home with- out the friendly service of peo- ple who know you and care that you're, getting the most for your money because they want you to come back again." In other Wads, .I think the advantages of big city shopping are over -rated and that you can find a good deal of:'relazing asure and good prices in shopping at home. At the same time, I think all of us who sell mercha- ndise need to be trying at all times to improve the service we, give to you, the shoppers of . the area. We must do our best ., to be competitive and provide a good selection.' And while the merchant has':''' a responsibility to the shopper, the shopper 'also has a;responsibi- lity to the merchant and to the whole community. -If the pri in his home town are as rhea.' or so little more expensive that - pay for those working in the it, doesn't really save nnney to comrpunity., shop e]sewhere ' the shopper In`other wards, `even though would bean idiot not to shop - you might•save a.dollar•here : at home.`"His,money is:earned - or there in the cityduring your in.that community and..it will Christmas shopping, :you might do'rlwst good'to.the community . ,lose.those.•dollars in the -long, . and in the long run to himself, 'Mui because they wont be used if. he keeps: it there.
