Blyth man ures step to soIg solve_energy crisis
••••••
Wednesday, November 28,, 1973.
OSHAWA---Adrian Vos of Blyth won support from the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture on Tuesday for his call for more
government assistance in researching a possible solution to the
energy crisis. ,
Mr, Vos proposed a resolution at the annual meeting of the
OFA which called for the governments of Canada and Ontario
to put more research funds behind a drive to, recover methane
gas from the farm -yard manure pile. Mr. Vos said the meth-
ane, a form of natural gas, might in future meet up to one
third of. -gas requirements in Canada, a figure that corresponds
with the• amount of the nation's gas consumption that is used
by farmers.
Mr. Vos said this was no new idea, that the technology is
already -known. He said that in Australia and Taiwan the pro- 1
cess is already used and there -were some a 2000 such operations'
in India during World War II..
"To be used, in Canada under our climate conditions, how-
ever," he said, '"more research must be done."
He was backed in his resolution by Gordon Hunsberger of
Waterloo county who told the 400 delegates from across the
province meeting at the Oshawa Holiday Inn that much re-
search into the project has been going on at University of
Waterloo,' He said the university is ready to proceed with a
practical project at present but needs about $100,000 to
undertake this step.
Mr. •.Hunsberger explained that after the gas is recovered
from the manure an odourless residue is left which is still
a valuable fertilizer.
Another interested observer on _the subject was Donald Mac-
Donald, former leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party '
and ` ti.c. tuber `of the-,•, Provincial.. Legislature.. He told 'mem-
•ker '`sof the press that theree'is`-a• tremendous- potential in gas

oI itical boon
li'e energy. crisis may be the worst thing to hit the United
Statesi'or along time, but it may be the best thing that's
happened to Richard Nixon in years. '
Despite the fact that he wears a grave face every time he
speaiis.;to the U.S. people ori the television these days, one
can; almost see the slightest trace of a grin tugging at the
corper',i'of, the President's - mouth. 'And why not. The energy
(31106nay just save his political neck. Unlike other countries
wheefthe. energy crisis means trouble for governments, in the
U.S'may be a godsend for Nixon, First of all, it diverts
-atterition from the Watergate mess • (which was' disgusting ,
but didn't really affect the ordinary man), ..-to a crisis that
threatens every American who heats a home, drives a car or
worWin a factory. One notices daily that Watergate gets
less attention and the energy crlsls gets mere., The crisis not
only'threatens to be causing less heat in the home, it is taking
the heat off the Whitehouse. - -
Italso gives Nixon the chance to look like the strong leader
taking the actions that must be taken. It's a role he loves as
one<can tell by the number of times he has -used the crisis as an
,ppartunity to speak to the people over the television.' During
the .Watergate crisis Nixon was little more than a name 'as he
hid behind the Whitehouse doors for weeks on end, Now,
hardly. -a week goes by without' him appearing to give more
plans;for 'beating the crisis.
Thirdly, the crisis is the kind of thing that can pull a nation
like the U.S. together. Under some circumstances, the crisis
could be laid down to political bungling and the government
could.be in trouble. But here, the crisis can be blamed on
external influence, the Arab boyco tt, and this could cause
a closing of the ranks among Americans which would make it
unpopular for Nixon critics to continue their campaign for his
removal from office.
Isn't it ironic that Nixon, who was in deep trouble before
the energy crisis may just be saved by it, while Canada's
.Trudeau, who was in relatively good shape before the crisis
maybe ousted because of it, even though the crisis seems to
be far less serious than in the U.S.?.
Return to sanity....
slowly
Education Minister Tom Wells last week began a slow return
to sanity in the education system. .'
While still sticking with the discredited credit system, Mr,
Wells,, at least admitted some faults which have to be corrected.
The credit system let students virtually take any course they
wanted, in high school. It made it e, y to get through high
school'by opting for mickey mouse courses and avoiding the
difficult ones, but it also left a good number of high school.
graduates without any real knowledge, the kind necessary.to
get a'. job or to study at University.
Mr.',Wells made one small step back to sanity with his
decree that English and, History will henceforth be among the
compulsory subjects a student has to take.. That's good news
for those professors in university in the past couple of years who
were encountering high school graduates who couldn't even
construct an English sentence properly.
It would be nice to think that Mr. Wells saw the error of his
ways, or at least the error of Bill Davis' ways since Mr. Davis
was the:education minister when the policy first came into
being:: .It replaced the ridiculous streaming plan whereby stu-
dents.had to decide which of four courses of study they were
going to be locked into throughout high school before they even
entered;grade nine, That streaming plan was the brainchild
of another education minister who became a premier, John
Roberts.-
Unfortunately,
oberts.Unfortunately, it seems the move is taken more for the good
of the -Davis government than for the good of the student. The
government no doubt knows how much headway Robert Nixon
the Liberal leader has been making at public meetings with his
call fora return to a " core curriculum". As has been the policy
of this' government in the past, Wells is now trying to pluck the
policy from the Opposition and make it his own.
He hasn't taken the whole policy, however, and let's hope he
doesn't get away with this little move.
There is probably no other area of government (with the
possible exception of regional government) where the old
Conservative regime has blundered more than in education.
Canada spends more per capita than any other country in the
world but Sweden, and Ontario leads all the provinces in per
capita spending. Yet parents are unhappy, teachers are un-
happy and a good number of students are unhappy with the
presentteducational set up. Millions are spent every year on
expensive administration staff and offices, while students are
crammed into bigger and bigger classes to try to keep the costs
down. The government has come up with one hairbrained
policy after another, and eventually scrapped most. Yet we,
the people, keep electing, not only the same party but the
very men who draft such policies as the leader of the govern-
ment. . r
The bungling of the government seems only matched by the
bungling of the voters.

From My WinflBY SHIRLEY J, KELLER
From time to ti me, Pm
reminded that working mothers
are the' forgotten people. Like
the time just a day or so ago
when my eldest son indicated
once more to me that he expec-
ted top performance at home
from me no matter whether or
not I was a career girl,
Well my good friends, as I've
said,before I'm no women's
libber. I have no intention of
burning my brassiere or convert-
ing my signature to Ms. from
Mrs. But 1 sure believe with
all 'my heart that working mot-
hers are necessary to this nation
and Should be treated as special
people with special problems
requiring special; considerations.
Where I personally am concern-
ed, of course, there is no prob-
lem other than that within my
own household. My children are
all of an age now to be almost
self-sufficient during the day-
time hours and the only static
I get from them is a dwindling
supply of grocery items on the
shelf; a cold sandwich for lunch
instead of a hot snack; an un -
pressed shirt; an unmade bed;
a mess) ;:ltchen when friends
arrive. •
And although I repeatedly
advise my family that they are
as much a part of the house as
Iam, that it is their duty as
much as mine to do the house-
hold chores, they occasionally
miss the pampering of a mother
who has nothing else to do with
her days but make life ever so
pleasant for her loved ones. 'So
I try .... I really and truly try
to be as much of a mother as I
am a career woman although
I'm always slipping up and being
told about it.
But at times like those, I am
reminded that some working
mothers do not have thing so
easy as I do. I begin to reme-
mber back to the time long
years ago when my children
were little and I was going out
to business every day, I rem-
ember making two and three
trips to the car- first with the
day's supply of bottles and
tinned goods, next with the
diapers and the sleepers, and
finally with the baby.
And I remember those
dreadful times wh en the baby-
sitter called to advise she was
sick or had ars er..ergency call
on a family matter. What to
do with the baby? How to get
w work on time when plans
were chanced at the last minute.
An 1 remember the everlast-
ing fear that the babysitter tith
whom your child got along so
well would serve notice she was
quitting and you would have to
begin the search all over again
for a new place, a new sitter, a
new source of strength.
Many people believe that a
woman's place is in the home
and most certainly, a mother
has no right to leave her young-
sters for a'job. To that 1 say
nonsense - stuff .and nonsense.
Employers will be the first to tell
you that if you suddenly took -
away all their working mothers,
there would be some large staff
gaps to be filled.
While I'm a firm believer in
close family life, I'm also con-
vinced that no woman -• marr-
ied or single, childless or other-
wise should he denied the priv-
ilege of work away from home
if that is her bag. I think it
is resource waste of the highest
degree to have talent and exp-
erience chained to the kitchen
or the nursery... and I would
urge the government to pull
the lead and provide the nec-
essary services for working
mothers i.e. day nurseries for
a starter.
The country benefits when it
can draw on the skills of all
the people for whom it has
•
. financed during years of training.
The communitybenefits when
its work force is strong and
dependable. The wanking
mother benefits when she can
take her children to a well-
run munic ipal 'day nursery
knowing full well -it is a
steady reliable aid; the em-
ployer benefits because he has
a much wider choice of workers
who are collectively happier
and less prone to absenteeism,-
Finally,
bsenteeism,Finally, the children benefit
because, they are in a, structured
environment which moat often
results in a total learning exper-
- fence for them.
Any way you -want' to' look
-at it, municipal daycare cent-
res are the answer for modern-
day living. It isn't copping out.
It is simply using all the country's
resources to the very best advan-
tage. And that's only good bus-
iness in my balks.

No education ceiling n increase
THE BLYTH STANDARD, Nov. 28, 197.3, PG; 3;`
BY MURRAY GAUNT, MIP .P
(HURON- BRUCE) "
Ontario Educa tion Minister
Tom Wells r'efu sed, this week
to raise the announced 1974 Ro-
vin tial ceilings on school board
speeding despite citic is m th at
the ceilings are increasing tea-
cher/pupil ratios and are creat-
ing situations where students lack
textbooks and laboratory equip-
ment,
Canada leads all countries in
per capita education spending •
except for Sweden, Ontario tops
all other Canadian Provinces in
this regard,
Environment Minister James
Auld did an about face and an-
nounced that after reconsider- '
ation his Ministry inspectors
would prosecute drivers who,re-
moved control devices from
their cars if they did not put
them back on after a warning.
He said the current Ontario
standards are' adequate and the
Federal Government should not
require automobile manufact-
urers to install devices which
reduce exhaust more than the
present controls.
Ontario's Energy Minister
Darcy McKeough is in no hurry
to impose a SO mile an hour
limit on the Provinces's high-
ways because the situation is
not that serious yet. Mr. Mc -
Keough said a reduction in the
speed limit would_be preferable
- to a ban on Sunday driving which
he felt would not be workable.
Meanwhile, reduced lighting
in Provincial Government build-
ings in Queen's Park alone will
save $40, 000 a year according to
Government Services. Savings
on heating are also anticipated.,
Government buildings are heated
by natural gas except in times of
peak demand.
Health Minister Richard Potter
has vowed to get tough with den-
turists,who are flouting his new
law, compelling them to become.
licensed denture therapists who
practice under the supervision of
a dentist,.
They have until December 7
to register for a.third set of qual-
ifying examinations and stop -
practising as denturists or face
prosecution,,About 80'denturists
have qualifid in two previous
exa urinations this"year, There are
an estimated 150-200 still making
false- teeth illegally in about 85
clinics in Ontario..
Liberal Leader Robert Nixon
said denturists were being asked
to leave self employment to
work for salaries of $9, 000 to
$101000 and doubted that the
Act as it stands would lower
denture costs.
A feature of the controversial
Act is the setting of a low price
of $180 for a se!t of dentures,
Only about 600 of 3,300 dentists
in Ontario have agreed to the
$180 plan.
Compulsory subjects
re -introduced
English and Canadian studies
will be mandatory subjects for
secondary school students, Ed-
ucation Minister Thomas 'Wells
announced last week.
He told the Legislature,
during the presentation of the
Ministry's estimates, that stud-
ents entering secondary school
in S eptember will be required
to complete four credits in
English studies and two in
Canadian studies to qualify for
a secondary school graduation
diploma. Credits In English
and Canadian studies are not
now mandatory for secondary
students.
Mr. Wells said the change
,is the result of monitoring the
effects of, research into and
reaction to the credit system
from teachers, students, par-
ents, principals and administra-
tcrs.
"This elaborate and thorough
process has proved that the vast
majority support the principles
of the credit system. There
were one or two aspects which
caused concern and which ten-
ded to cloud the acknowledged
and ,positive features of the
program. There is also a wide
public consensus that it should
not be left to chance that sec-
ondary school students acquire
a deeper understanding and
appreciation of the English lan-
guage and of Canada", Mr.
Wells said.
Mr. Wells said that in mak-
ing English studies mandatory
schools can include not only
the traditional courses in
English but also related courses
in creative writing, special
areas of literature, drama and
any other courses which develop
communication skills in the
English language.
"Canadian studies deserve a
prominent place in our schools
and this is why .we are giving
it mandatory status under the
credit system.

ECONOMY TO GROW
Finance Minister John
Turner forecast in a speech
in Montreal a healthy growth
in the Canadian' economy in
1974, with "stimulus coming
from rapidly expanding capi-
tal investment in new plants
to increase productive` capa-
city and employment oppor-
tunities.
Mr. Turner said "the eco-
nomy is now operating at or
very close to its full capacity,
with the main limiting factor
on future growth being a
shortage of available produc-
tive capacity, material and,
manpower, rather than any
shortage of demand for the
goods and services produced
by Canadians."
EXPORTS UP.
Canada's exports. in Octo-
ber, seasonally adjusted,
reached their highest level
this year, totalling $2.14
billion -• up considerably
from September's total lof
$1.95 billion, -
RECORD WHEAT CROP
Statistics Canada reported
that this year's wheat crop
will hit 628.7 million bushels,
surpassing the ten-year aver-
age of 614.2 million bushels
and up substantially over the
1972 wheat crop average of
533.3 million bushels.
Of the major crops, the
volume of oats, rye and flax-
seed is each expected to be
from Ottawa
above last year's level, but
production of barley and
rapeseed is expected to be
down.
WORLD FOOD SUPPLIES
• Agriculture Minister Eu-
gene Whelan represented
Canada at the Food and Agri-
cultural Organization' Confe-
rence in Italy. In his speech
to the FAO, he stressed the
urgency of maintaining ade-
quate world food reserves —
"the present world circums-
tances require and call for all
nut production to replenish
food reserves on a world
basis,"
World food reserves have
dwindled drastically mainly
because of difficulties of the
developing countries to acce-
lerate their increase in pro-
duction and because of wide-
spread occurrence of drought
and poor crops especially in
the developing regions of the
world.

***Wok***
Contrary to popular opinion,
alcohol does not relax, reports
the Ontario Safety League.
According to Dr. Eugene Le-
Blanc, an Ontario Addiction
Foundation Scientist, there is
no scientific proof alcohol
'reduces stress, tension or anx-
iety. Some studies indicate
the opposite. Scientists can
prove other drugs act as re-
laxants, but with alcohol: lilt's
so reasonable, so plausable, "
says Dr. LeBlanc, "but as a
scientist I've had to abandon
the theory, because there is
no proof. e
Don't be a peephole driver,
says the Ontario Safety League.
Motorists need maximum vis-
ibility at all times in winter
conditions as even a light snow-
fall reduces perception consid-
erably. Keep your windows
clean...front, rear and sides.

More milk recommended
People who live in urban areas
ought to be drinking more milk
to combat the high lead levels
they are absorbing by living in
a polluted environment, , accor-
ding to recent U.S.. study.
Prof. Lennart Krook of Cornell
University has found that a high
level of calcium, milk's most
important nutirent, can serve as
a protective agent against lead
poisoning. The causes of lead
contamination include industrial
and mining effluents, pesticides,
gasoline, car exhaust fumes
and paint.
In an experiment conducted
with Yorkshire pigs, whose diet
and physiology is comparable to
mans, the animals were fed -
conventional diets with additions
of lead and zinc or calcium. The
Zinc and lead combinations tended

to increase lead levels in the
blood, bone and soft tissue. The
diets high in calcium reduoed
the lead concentrations.
Dr. Krook, a professor of pa-
thology at the New York State
Veterinary College, Cannell
University, reported the study ,
at the recent joint meeting of
the American Institute of Nut-
rititon and the A merican Soci-
ety of Clinical Nutrition on the
Cornell campus.
Dr. Krook explained that
calcium is preferred over lead
in the intestinal tract. °But
if the calcium intake is low,
leads if present in the body, .
will be absorbed," he said.
°As much as 90 per cent of
the lead ingested and absorbed
will be depositied in the skel-
etal system °

Two thirds of the cost of your
grocery bill goes to pay for, the
' cost of marketing, •
These costs include freezing,
canning, baking, and other
precessing, Also trucking,
rail, freight and other trans-
portation, plus cost of display-
ing and selling. Marketing
costs have increased an average
of five percent peryear in the
last ten years. Labour costs are
46 per cent of the marketing
bill. Most of this labour cost
increase went to the people
working in retailing, whole-
saling and restaurants. The
4nnocent and uninfci.med people
ricuiturai
who are screaming fc a roll-
back of food prices would do
good if they were to tell us
where that roll -back should
begin, in lowering labour
wages maybe?

The supervising agent of
Ontario Hydrols property di-
vision claimed, accoringito
an article in the Free Press
by Don Mturay, that prices
offered to farmers by Hydro
were based on an appraisal
that was conducted over a
period of several years. It
should not be forgotten that
these were Hydro employees.
Besides, Hydro didn't offer
a price. They wanted the
farmer to sign an offer to sell,
based on Hydro's price, which
makes a subtle legal difference,

Our region h not the only

Near Arnprior a generating
station and a dam are being
built, The farmer is offered
between 230 and 300 dollars
per acre, These are small
farms, so the buildings con-
stitute a great deal of the
total value. Hydro pays
only for the land, according
to the farmers affected. Do
you think it is fair if the
farmer asks for compensation

feeding costs
According to a study on feed
costs conducted by United CO -op-
eratives of Ontario feed market-
ing department, $2.5 million
dollars were saved by Ontario
Co-op livestock feeders. •
The $2, 5 million applies to
th.. Co-op swine, beef and dairy
supplements sold to Ontario pro-
ducers from November 1972 to
March 1973 but also provided
most of April 1973 requirements.
During that time, UCO had a
special feed booking program
which guaranteed prices from
October to March on orders
booked by November 15, 1972,
Participating hog producers
saved $1, 4 million of the total
while dairy producers saved
$700, 000 and beef producers
$400,000.
Booking programs were com-
mon in the feed industry last
fall, however, some feed
suppliers decided to withdraw
their contracts when protein
costs surged last winter.
While UCO experienced a
short term loss in operations,
the final result was an actual
saving of $2, 5 million .to the
Co-op livestock producers.
Poultry producers also exper-
ienced some profitability as a
result of positions taken on
soybean meal and Western grain
markets that allowed UCO to
apply a downward pressure on
feed industry, prices throughout
the chaotic feed ingredient
market situation.
UCO feed prices approached
true market value late August,
but by that time, farm product
prices had risen to a profitable
level for farmers.

patrols.' ',There are 100 main-
tenance operations," Mr. Brit-
nell explains, "it's very hard •
to list them all. "
For the most part this maint-
enance involves grass cutting,
grading, patching the roadways,
painting sign posts and guard.
rails, weed spraying, drain re-
pairs and so' on.
The County of Huron also has
its own road construction crew.
"We hire the heavy equipment,
like six or seven dump trucks
(with operators), a crane or po-
wer shovel, compaction equip-
ment and 10 to 15 additional
men, mostly laborers; engineer
Britnell explains.
"We do our own labor and
call tenders on things like cru-
shed gravel and hot mix pave-
ment."

The county owns three bull-
dozers and during construction
several of its graders are assig-
, ned-to the work as well. "We
have about 45 permanent emp-
loyees, rr. Mr; Britnell notes,
"but that number increases to
over 100 during construction,"
Huron is unique among coun-
ties in that it also has its own
bridge construction'crew. "tTo
the best of my knowledge we
are the only county in Ontario
to build our own bridges,"
Mr, Britnell points out.
"We have six to eight key •
men and because we have these
employees we can do the job
better and cheaper, although
there are plenty of contractors
who would argue with that sta-
tement," the engineer adds,
Anything over 20 feet in
length is considered a bridge
by county standards, anything
under that length is a culvert.
In the past few years the county
has constructed at least 50 brid-
ges using its own construction
crew.

In addition to.the road patrols,
construction gangs and bridge
building crews the, county also
employs a garage supervisor and
mechanic through the engineer's
office, ' .
These men are based at the
central maintenance shop in
Auburn and provide service to
county equipment.
"We use the dealers more
and mere because of the diff-
erent makes of equipment we
own," Mr. Britnell explains,
"if we kept our 'mechanic trai-
ned for all the equipment he
would be at school all the time
and never on the job,
Although Jim Britnell finds
more and more that his world
is running on paper he makes
an effort to tour job sites and
county roads as often as possible.
On the surface it may seem
that his job has become only
that of a manager but the dec-
isions he must make each day
are still based on his skills as
an engineer and without that
qualification the best decision
could not be made. -

THINK YOU'RE SICK?
HERE'S A FEW CURES
by Bill Smiley
First, we'll, do a book
review this week, A fascina•
ting volume has come into
my hands, It is called "Drink
Your Troubles Away,"
The title alone would
sell a' lot of copies, I can
just hearthe boozers say,
"Hey, That's for me, It's
time somebody wrote a
sensible book,"
And then there's the
name of the author, It is
John Lust, What an intrigu-
ing combination, Drink and
Lust, All for 95c, •
It's not quite as exciting
inside as it is on the cover,
because it's a natural foods
tract, Unless you can get
excited over the thought of
a brimming glass of carrot
juice, or start to'drool at the
image of a cabbage pie, it
may not be your meat, if
the author will pardon the
expression,
I was a bit cynical at
first, but I read on with
growing interest, and by.
the time I had gone through
a few chapters, 1 was
. engrossed.
I'm a meat and taties
man, myself, You know
what that will get me? 1
quote: "Wrong diet brings
with it constipated bowels,
heminorhoids,anemia,defec-
tive secretions, acidity,
ulcers, bloating, arthritis,
headache, nervousness, liver
and kidney ailments, heart
disease, feeble-mindedness
and a thousand other ail-
ments ..."
Well, I think that's a
pretty sweeping statement.
have never been consti-
pated in my life, Lots of
the people I .know who
follow the same diet as I
are constipated.
1 do have hemmorhoids
and arthritis occasionally,
and I am definitely becoming
feebleminded, but I've had
none of those other things,
though 1 try not to think
of my 'liver, Defective
secretions indeed, What kind
are you supposed to have?
Effective secretions? .
Don't think I'm knocking
this book. 1 think John
Lust is on• the right track,
even though it has many
turnings.
I haven't seen any signs
of feeble-mindedness among
natural food fiends. Let us
say, charitably, that there
is a certain feebleness of
will.
My son comes home
with his little bag of
unpolished rice. He cooks
some' for breakfast, taken
at 12 noon. He gives us a
lecture on what harm we
are going our bodies, putting
poisons in them.
During the afternoon, he
smokes eight of my cigar-
ettes, though, theoretically,
he ' doesn't . smoke, That
evening, at dinner. he de.
cides, just to keep peace in
the family, to break his
habit for once, and eat meat.
He eats about a pound and
a quarter of the roast beef
we can afford only because
my wife rushed out and put
a second mortgage on the
car
How_would you like to
have to kill a fatted calf?
That story would never have
made the Bible at today's
meat prices,
My daughter,:whO is also
a natural foods freak, has
even Tess will power, After a
few weeks on rice and beans
and macaroni, she comes
home with her husband, a
sensible young chap who -
would eat stewed rats if
he were hungry enough.
She goes straight to the
refrigerator, whips open the
frozen meat department, and
starts muttering, "Meat!
Glorious meat! ", the saliva
running down her chin.
But this is a good book,
no doubt, The title refers
to the fact that we can drink
all our health problems
away with vegetable juice.
What away to go!
It is based on vitamins,
Take iron, for example. If
you are short . of iron in
your blood, you can have
one of 40 different symp-
toms of
yrup•toms.of debility, Space for-
bids the listing of them,
but a few are: "face alter-
nately flushed and pale;
murky, yellowish gray face;
crying involuntarily; fearful
of losing reasbn;tense genital
organ's; swollen' ankles; bed
wetting; film befare eyes;
desire to carry arms over
head; partial deafness ..."
How would you like to
crawl into bed with some-
body who had no iron at
all? Bit of a nightmare,
what? Apparently the best
cure for this is wild black-
berries,
So, remember. If you
are suffering from an iron
deficiency, and at the same
time want a fulfilled sex
life, keep a bushel of wild
blackberries handy by the
bed. Lay in a good store.
They're a little scarce in
February.
If you're short on cal-

best cure Is turnip leaves,
Moral: carry around some
turnip leaves and lay off

B'eh and th-e Scenes
S� y ou think businessmen are rich?
BY KEITH ROUISTON
Farmers these days think
they are the forgotten people,
and to some extent, ,they
are, They produce the most
important goods in life, and
they dontt get much credit : •
fee it. Yet, neglectedas the
farmer is, there's probably
another group neglected even
more: the small businessman.
First of all, let's get it
straight what we mean by a
small businessman. Govern-
ment beurocrats and politic-
ians are forever singing the
praises of the small,business-
man. He's next to apple pie
and motherhood as a political
platitude. But political small
business men are a long way
from your ordinary small bus-
inessman, What a politician;
means by the term is someone
doing about one to five million
dollars worth of business a
year - the guy who's got extra
for campaign funds. What I
mean is the local grocer, baker,
clothing store owner or the
small manufacturer. For
these people, a million dollars
worth of business is only a
dream. Yet, these men and
women, though they aren't
big cogs in the economic wheel,
are essential to the way of life
of most Canadians, particularly
those in smaller centres but
also those who run the neigh-
bourhood stores in the cities,
The glamor these days goes
to the big companies, but Dom-
inion and Loblaws will never
sell all the groceries and
Eatons won't sell all the cloth-
ing and furniture. They only
want the big money business
that's easy to get. There will
always have to be small mer-
chants and manufactureres to
serve the markets that are too
small for the big boys to be
bothered with. We need the
small businessman.
Yet there are fewer and
fewer people willing to make
the sacrifices needed to fill
these needs today. Say the
word businessman and most
people think of big profits,
huge houses on large trabts
of land, holidays in exotic
places and big shiney care,
The hired employees who
run companies like Loblaws
for. big salaries may live like
that and the major shareholders
in such companies may live
like that, but your neighbour-
hood businessman lives a
considerably different life.
For most small businessmen,
the hours are long and the
rewards are not really all that
great. The chances are that
if that businessman went to
work for someone else, he
would make more money, work
fewer hours arid sleep better.
Why doesn't he? Simply bec-
ause we still have a few
people around who like the
freedom of running their own
business.
Yet that very freedom is
disappearing. Today there
are so many.. government
regulations, so many inspec-
tors, so many forms to be
filled out that many business-
men are fed up and are get-
ting out. Many others just
bellyache and stay in, but
sooner or later they'll retire,
and there are fewer people
interested in taking their
place.
Things are worse almost
daily. Once again the min-
imum wage has been raised
to $2, 00 a hour. A small
thing, you say. The wage
had to go up because people
just can't live on less and
can't even do much on the
new wage. But figure it out
for a minute. A worker puts
in eight hours a day at the
new rate and takes home $16.
But where does the money
come from? Say the merc-
handise sold in a store is
marked up 25 per cent.
Townsh ips
upset over
Hydro
That means that just to
break even on the employee's
pay, the store will have to
do $64 of husinesss. that day.
_That's $16,640 a year. That's
just the salary, and a minimum
at that. Most employees get
more, .0n top of that there
is the rent or mortgage pay-
ment,' the taxes, the lighting
and heating, the bookkeeping
and' last, if there's anything
left, there's the salary for the
boss, the man who has inves-
ted his hard earned money
in the business.
And besides paying the salary
the employer has to chip in
with half the rnoney for the
unemployment ment ' insurance
plan,. (starting next month,
the employer's share will
increase even more). Nobody -
pays half of the pension costs
for the businessman, and if
he goes broke he can't even
draw unemployment insurance.
He has to pay vacation pay
for his employees, but may not

corridor,
Reeve William Elston of
Morris Township said that after
reading a presentation which his
council received from Don Fra-
ser of Ontario Hydro there was
no doubt in his mind about the
future expansion of certain parts
of the corridor.
It was also revealed.that many •
of the public not involved with
the line still do not realize the
size and number of towers pro-
posed.' In the Wingham area
alone it is expected that the line
will be three towers wide, carry-
ing 500 k, v. and one carrying.
250 k, v., plus a ten -acre trans-
former station with a microwave -,
tower 405 feet in height. All this'
with the possibility of expansion
to the corridor and possible incre-
ase -in voltage to.700 k. v.
All councils agreed to make
presentations to the -expropria-
tion authority; which is the Mi-
nistry of the Environment.
It was also pointed out by
Mason Bailey, chairman of the
Ontario Federation's special
powerline committee, that other
areas of the province are not -
accepting Hydro offers to pur-
chase and that the unsatisfactory
relations with Ontario Hydro are -
province -wide. -
