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..

(News -Record Photo)' BLYTH STANDARD, Nov, 28, 1973, 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.

Box 10, Blyth, Ontario , Telephone 523-9646 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. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Portu- guese folk tune 5. Over•Over- elegant 11.

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.

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 Mrs. Leonard Caldwell is a patient in Clinton Hospital for therapy. Mrs. Jessie Jones is a patient in Clinton Hospital in traction. Mr. K.

Mr. and Mrs. Art Clark spent the weekend visiting his sister, brother and their fam- ilies in Chatham. 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 ° 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ELEU'rttOHOME an extra degree of excellence CRUSADER C-11 Just $4991 95 / trade buys you a 26" c1i Colour TV with automatic (i controls.

Grades taking UCO shaves 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. part are kindergarten, one, two, three six and seven, Further details are forthcoming.

',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."

"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.

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.

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 An important meeting was held be able to afford a• vacation in the Turnberry Township councilo home at niht for himself, His employees chambers at Bluevale on Friday lik likely to go hones tat nighrelaxt He's evening, Nov. 16, when sepses- to work, or come back to the entatives'of seven area councils store or plant to catch up on met with the Bruce -Huron Hydro thin that just have to be done Negotiating Committee.

Anoth- er point 'of discussion was the eventual loss of assessment on properties adjacent to the power . 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. - LOVE'S LAST GIFT REMEMBRANCE Whether It's a • MONUMENT !
