HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Blyth Standard, 1974-01-09, Page 1Survey begins this week for senior citizens housing need
The Ontario HousingCor-
poration %N111 conduct a survey
to determine the need and
demand for senior citizen housing
in Blyth.
A research analyst from CHC,
the Ontario Government's housing
agency, will estimate the num-
ber of senior citizens living in
Blyth whose housing is inadequate
or beyond their financial capab-
ilities.
The demand in the area for
housing on a rent -geared -to
income basis will be determined
from information gathered thro-
ugh advertising, direct mail
questionnaires and interviews.
The study, which begins' this
week was requested by the Cou-
VOLUME 84 - No. 2
Federation
to study
government
restructuring
The future shape of govern-
ment in Huron County is still
clouded according to Huron
County Warden Roy Pattison
but the Huron County Federation
of Agriculture is going to try to
find out more about it.
Mr. Pattison was speaking to
me mb ers of the Huron Federation
of Agriculture at their monthly
meeting held in Clinton on
Thursday night. He quoted
from a speech made by John
White, Minister in charge of
governmental reform who said
the government reform move-
ment was now at a plateau
with all the rapid growth areas
re -organized and that now the
provincial government was going
to turn to local initiative for
reform in the more rural areas.
Mr. Pattison said the execut-
ive committee of the Huron
County council is studying the
situation at presentrand,doesn't
know if reform will be within
the present boundaries of the
county or on a larger basis. The
committee, he said, had asked
the Ontario government to send
a speaker on the subject but
had received a reply that the
government really didn't know
what it wanted yet and would
send a speaker once it formula-
ted its policy.
The Huron Warden had been
asked to attend the Federation
meeting to discuss the present
situation after the executive of
the Huron Federation had rec-
ommended a committee be set
up within the Feder^tion to study
government reforn... The ,mee-
ting approved the formation of the
Committee.
In the discussion at the meeting
several farmers said they felt
the present government set up
was adequate and questioned the
need for change. One asked
Mr. Pattison if he felt that Mr.
White's talk of local initiative
meant that if a county liked its
present system and didn't want
to change, it would be allowed
to stay the same. Mr. Pattiron
replied that he thought the
government meant the local
people to come up with a sug-
gestion and if it pleased the
government it would be accep-
ted but if it wasn't what the
government had in mind, the
government, would impose it's,
own changes.
In other business, a resolu-
tion by the public relations
officer, Adrian Vos was
approved calling on the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture to set
up an awards progr.:..1 for On-
tario newspitpers for the best
farm page and for the best
farm editor in order to.
encourage more farm inform-
ation in the press.
It was reported by secretary-
fieldman, Bill Crawford that
membership in the Huron
Federation had jumped to 1700
up 100 in the past month. He
said memberships are easier to
sell now than in the past and
cited the increased property
tax rebate, which the OFA
fought for, as one of the thinly►
helping sales.

Senior citizens in Blyth and
area will receive letters out-
lining the Gove mment's housing
program and asking them if
they wish to participate.
Some interested persons may
not be reached by direct mail.
OHC urges them to obtain a
questionnaire from the muni-
cipal offices.
If the survey shows'a need
for senior citizens' housing, it
will ilkely be an apartment
building, although consideration
is given to one -storey units
, which do not require stairways.
All apartments have a living
room,bedroom, bathroom and
kitchen, and are equipped with
stove and refrigerator. Rent is
geared to income and the min-
imum is $37 a month, includ-
ing services.
After considering the auivey
report, Council can initiate
the program it outlines by adop-
ting a resolution requesting
OHC to go ahead. Capital
costs are shared.by the Prov-
incial and Federal Governments.
Housing on a rent -geared -to -

(H. O. M. E.) Program. Those

sked to return them as soon
as possible to assist the survey. •

accidents
During the week, ,:December
31, 1973 to January 6, 1974, the
folow aiveatigatlons were
},'car ie' out by'members of Wing-
ham Detachment.
On Wednesday, January 2,
Marion W. McBurney of R.R. 5
Wingham and Thomas G. Cam-
eron of Belgrave were involved
in a collision in East Wawanash
Township. There were no inju-
ries, and damages were estim-
ated at $150.
On Wednesday, January 2,
at approximately 9 a. m., a
vehicle driven by David C.
Campbell of Bluevale was east-
bound on Concession 6-7,
Howick Township. Howard
J. Bender of R.R. 2, Listowel
was driving a tractac-trailer
southbound on the Turnbeny-
Hawick Town Line. The two
vehicles collided at the inter-
section. Campbell was pried
from his vehicle and taken to
Wingham and District Hospital,
from where he was transferred to
Victoria Hospital,London. He
passed away on January 3, as
a result of injuries received.
Bradley Campbell' a passenger
in the Campbell vehicle was
also taken to Wingham'and
District Hospital. Damages were
estimated at $8000.00. Charges
are pending.
On January 3, Brian A. Adams
was snowmobiling when he hit a
tree limb. He received injuries
as a result of the accident. Dam-
ages to his vehicle were minor.
On January 5, Albert W. Rie-
man struck and killed a deer on
Huron County Road 20, west of
the Maitland River Bridge, East
Wawanosh Township. Damages
istry who attended the December to his vehicle were estimated at
council meeting that beginning $200.
in June, there will be no burn-
ing allowed at the Blyth-Hullett
dump. Council is unhappy
with the decision because they
feel the burning makes the
dump area much cleaner and
is certainly cheaper than land
fill which the Ministry claims
is necessary.
Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh
reperted'that $70,751 in taxes
•for 1973 had been paid with
$4, 585.66 in arrears.
Council is to.work out a
new penalty system for late
payment for next year and
a better discount rate for
peeps yed taxes.
Sewers may
Blyth residents cannot expect
construction to begin on a
sewerage system for the village
before 1976, town council
learned Monday night.
The information was con-
tained in a letter :.tom the
Ministry of Environment in
answer to a letter sent by
council asking to be brought
up to date on progress of the
sewerage project.
The letter outlined the
steps that have to be taken
before construction can begin,
including a public information
hearing, which is the next step
not come until 1976
required. Following the hear-
ing, as yet unscheduled, the
consulting firm will be asked
to complete its report and
once this is approved a proposal
of financing, including rates
to be charged will besubmitted
for the council's approval. A
hearing will then be held by the
Ontario Municipal Board to
hear any complaints ratepayers
may have.
Once all these procedures are
followed, the final deign stage
will be reached and this will
take six to nine month. The
design must he irproved and
Farmers given
on liability
advice
Fanners should take care of who they let use their property
for snowmobiling if they don't want to be held liable for
injuries on their property, an insurance company spokesman
told members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture
at the monthly directors meeting in Clinton, Thursday night.
Stan Cairns, supervisor of the London and District office of
the Co-operators Insurance Agency of Guelph told the group
that people using a farmers property fall into three categories
and to e..ch the farmer has a.different degree of responsibility.
The first group, he said, is the trespasser who shouldn't
be there and the landowner has no responsibility for his safety
except that he cannot deliberately lay a trap for him.
The second class, he said, is the licensee, or a person who
is on the property with the owner's knowledge, if not his
permission. It is up to the landowner to warn thfs person of
a• . dangers such as fences or open pits.
The third category is the invitee, or someone invited on
to the property and for whose presence the landowner will
receive financial gain. It is important, Mr. Cairns said, that
in such cases the landowner contact his insurance agent to
have a special clause added to his liability insurance policy.
Mr. Cairns told the farmers that they should review their
present policies for liability and make sure that there was a
minimum of $100, 000 coverage and suggested they would be
iwise to carry $300.000 voverage because the cost of settle-
ssh was increasing.
tenderccalled. The tender will
be let and construction begin,
not likely, the letter said,
before the spring of 1976.
It was a generally quiet mee-
ting with council being asked
to look after several minor
complaints from homeowners.
It was noted that dogs are run-
ning loose in the village and
that under the dog by-law, dogs
are to be tied year-round.
Council voted to try to have
the Ministry of Transport and
Communications set up a lic-
ence issuing bureau in the vil-
lage. Councillor John Manning
noted that Blyth is the only town
of its size around that does not
have one.
Council felt that the turnout
at the first planning meeting
for the Blyth centennial in 1977
which will be held later in
January would determine how
much interest there was in the
event and how much effort
should be given to the event.
A letter was received from
the Ministry of the Environm-
ent confirming the news bro-
ught by a member of the Min -

PC. 2 THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan. 9, 1974
Let's have a little light
Blyth Village Council enters 1974 in a healthy financial
position with a good surplus. Perhaps it's time to spend some
of it.
There are projects that will cost the village money this
year such as the renovation of Memorial Hall, but the village,
seems to be in a good poisition to look at other things that
need doing in the village this year. One suggestion is that itis
time to look at street lighting.
Anyone who lives off the main drag in Blyth may not even
be aware there. are street lights on some of the back streets.
The lights presently being used are old to the point of being
almost antique and shed so little light that to have the streets
properly lighted would require one light about every 20 feet.
Better lighting is more than al matter of prestige. Figures
show that crime is far less likely to happen in a municipality
with well -lit streets than where the lighting is dim. In an
age of growing crime rates, even we in Blyth cannot afford
to be complacent.
The cost of refitting the village with proper streetlights will
not be small, but sooner or later it must be done, and it might
as well be sooner because the longer it's left,=the more it will
cost.
• The cost can be made easier to swallow by instituting a
program of updating one or two streets a year in similar fash-
ion to the program undertaken for paving streets in the past.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a town well lit for centennial
in 1977?
A frightening prospect
A small, well-educated group of terrorists steals uranium
from a power station and builds an atomic bomb then, with
no twinge of conscience, blows up the United Nations Build-
ing, or the White House, or the Toronto Dominion Centre
(and a good portion of the cities surrounding them) killing
thousands of persons.
Sounds like the plot for a far-fetched action movie. But
at least one atomic scientist feels it is quite possible that it
could happen in the not too distant future.
Speaking on the CTV public affairs program W5 on Sunday
night, thirrcientist said it is extremely easy for anyone with
knowledge to steal the necessary atomic fuel for a bomb from
power stations and research facilities in several countries.
A person with a little knowledge of atomic science, can
then, he said, construct a crude, but portable atomic bomb
that could, under certain conditions, kill hundreds of thous-
ands.
He warned that security for atomic materials must be in-
creased, saying that at present it is almost nil and called
for a world-wide co-ordinated program to prevent such a
happening.
It seems far fetched, but looking at how terrorists in recent
years have cold-bloodedly killed hundreds of innocent people
all over the world, who would doubt it might happen? It
would seem a two-pronged attack is needed, one to prevent
nuclear material from getting into the wrong hands, and
another to systematically stamp out terrorism throughout
the world.
The right decision
Many of us in recent years, have been critical of mast
decisions made by our provincial government but the decision
on Daylight Saving Time was not one of them.
Though it hrpeared for a while that the government was
going to follow. the example of the United States and go on
year-round day -light saving time, it changed its mind and
decided to stay on Standard Time and its a decision that
should be applauded by the ordinary citizen.
First of all, the government itself admits that there would
be no appreciable fuel saving in the change and the only
possible reason for the switch would be to stay on the same
schedule as the eastern U.S. for airline schedules, television
schedules and the stock exchange. Yet these things affect
only a few citizens while a great many are affected by the
bad effects a change would have brought.
Children, for instance, would have had to go to school in
the dark and an increase in accidents to children might have
resulted. Factory workers and farmers would work the first
few hours of each day in the dark, and might even increase
energy demands.
And the rest of us would have found it just that much harder
to get up in the morning because it would be pitch black.
Yet it's humourow, and a little maddening, to see how a
few people who would have favoured the change can make it
appear that democracy has been denied over the issue.
A writer in the Toronto Globe and Mail on Saturday claims
the government decision was a political figures, , areed to hold
the rural vote. Even though, by
the r
admits that the builk of mail ( and there wasn't all that much)
received in government officee" favoured remaining on Stan-
dard Time, the writer says: "No one seems to have spoken
for the Ontario urbanite who was looking forward to an extra
hour of daylight at the end of the day -- a real boon on week-
ends and increasingly useful as spring nears."
Many urbanites we know Qto be sure not from Toronto but
urbanites just, the same) were.not in favour of Daylight Saving
Time, nor against it for that matter. To be truthful, we, and
many others in big cities like Toronto we suspect, couldn't
give a darn one way or the other. How the Globe's writer can
think he knows what the urbanite wants is beyond us. Perhaps
he is reflecting the yiewa,of a few friends involved in business
that will be inconvenienced by the time difference. •

While it is generally recognized
that milk is essential to bone
rowth in the farmative years,
few adults are aware of its nutrit-
ional value throughout life.
Growing children require 1.2
grams of milk daily, yet to mai-
ntain good bones and teeth, .
adults require almost half this
amount -- . 5 grams -- according
to food specialists at the Ontario
Food Council, Ministry of Agricu-
lture and Food.
Unlike many beverages, such
as coffee, tea and pop, milk
has a high percentage of nutrie-
nts per calorie; a daily intake
of 11 glasses of whole milk will
supply a woman with 86 per cent
of the calcium she needs per day,
52 per cent of the riboflavin,
33 per cent of protein and 10 per
cent of calories.
Skim milk is .the best choice
for weight watchers . Only its
cream has been removed and
an 8 ounce glass condi 89
calories. There are 159' calor-
ies in the same quantity of
whole milk and 123 in 2%
milk.
A supply of skim milk powder
in the cupboard is a boon on the
occasions when you'iII1 out of
milk. Less expensive than fluid
milk, it can really help stretch
the family budget. Some people
prefer it mixed with 2% milk.
Try mixing a quart of cach at
first; later you may like to add
two quarts of reconstituted skim
milk to one quart of 2% and st-
retch your milk supply even
further. Always serve milk will
chilled.
Most milk in Ontario contains
Vitamin D, vital in the preven-
tion of rickets, and recommen-
ded daily for all growing persons
and women during pregancy and
lactation. As there are very
few natural sources of this
vitamin, drinking milk regularly
is the easiest way to be sure of
getting Vitamin D; other wise
a supplement is required. Check
the carton, cap or pouch label
on your milk supply to be sure '
Vitamin D has been added by
your dairy.
If you have trouble getting
your family to drink sufficient
milk, try adding ibto soups
and sauces; use cheese frequen-
tly in salads' or for snacks and
sandwich fillings. Yogurt,
chocolate milk and chocolate
drink are also members of the
milk family, and 'liked by most
youngsters.. Mothers may be
interested -- and their children
delighted -- to learn that three
scoops of ice cream have the
same nutritional value as eight
ounces of milk.

TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
THE TORONTO _j JJ\J SYNDICATE
Just to look at Terry you can tell he is a, typical six-year-old,
full of bounce and mischief.
'ferry is tall and slim, Indian in background, a good-looking
lad with brown eyes, black hair and light brown skin. He is
active and healthy.
Since he has just started school, Terry has not had any
academic reports but he is a bright, intelligent youngster who
has already learned two languages — Cree and English. If he
has any problems in school, it will be because life on a reserve
has not given him the knowledge of some of the situations a child
may meet in classes and textbooks. But since he is alert and
inquisitive, new things are more a challenge than a frustration
to him.
Terry is a friendly,, outgoing youngster with an easy-going
disposition. 1-fe loves the outdoors in any season.
Terry needs loving parents who will offer him stimulation,
share his interest in outdoor activities and value his heritage.
To inquire about adopting Terry, please write to Today's
Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information,
please contact your local Children's Aid Society.

Agrlcultural Tililis
WITH ADRIAN VOS
The cost of vegetables is ex-
pected to go up some more.
However, the grower doesn't
get any of the increase. This
will go to the truckers who bring
produce up from the U.S. and
will have to pass the higher
cost of fuel on to you and me,
the customer. Since in this
wintertime there is no alterna-
tive source of vegetables we
have no choice. It would be
nice though if we, as farmers,
could pass on an increase in in-
put cost immediately. After
all, it's only fair, isn't it?
It has been evident for some
time now that more young people
So into farming than was the
cue for a long time. Recently
I heard rumors that a sample
survey by the Canadian depart-
ment of agriculture showed that
the number of farmers in Ont-
ario and Alberta actually inc-
reased and is holding steady in
the rest of the country. If this
is confirmed by a full survey,
it would be good news for all
of Canada. Believe it or not,
the fanner is still the backbone
of the country. If the farmer has
money it effects the whole econ-
omy and your job in town or city
may depend upon the farrier.

In this time of shortages it is a
good thing that there are no
real food shortages in our country.
About everything else is in short
supply, be it some hardware or
skilled labour. However, if you
go to your food store you can
be sure thatyou don't have to
order that roast for your party
six weeks in advance. Think
about it, it could happen too.

Short courses offered
at Centralia College
Managing a farm business
today isn't easy. New technolo-
gy is constantly appearing and
capital costs increasing on the
fast -changing farm scene.
"Making the right decision at
the right time is important,"
says Doug Jamieson, head of the
Livestock Division, Centralia
College of Agricultural Techn-
olbgy.

ary enables farmers to become
better managers. Fees are $3.00
daily, plus meals. Limited
overnight accommodation is av-
ailable at the College. The
following courses will be offered.
"Swine Farmers' Short Course",
on January 16 and 17, takes a
look at increasing production and
profits in sow herds and feeder
pig operations. Feeding, breed-
ing and disease control will also
be aiiscussed.
"Beef Farmers' Short Course",
January 30 and 31, asks: "Is
there really a fertilizer shortage?"
Find out how to make the best
use of your fertilizer dollar and
livestock manure. The new
Nitrogen Recommendations and
new ideas in tillage equipment
will be discussed.

February 7, is a course for the
dairyman who raises or buys
calves for veal cr finishing.
Topics include raising the
calf, veal production, finishing
program, marketing and econ-
omics.

rights and obligations according
to the law. Lawyers will discuss

priation, bankruptcy of process-
ors and supplier's, and public
liability, as they apply to
farmers.
"Farm Business Arrangements
and Estate Planning", February
27 and 28, is a course for all
farm families, particularly those

ding the cost of meals. Apply

Farm Compensation
rates increase
Farming has the thi±d-highest
accident frequency of all other
occupations, and with the large
number of farm workers injured
each year, compensation pay-
ments have been increasing ste-
adily. As a result, the rates
fa farm employers reporting
to the Workmen's Compensation
Board were raised on January
1 of this year.
Don Brown of the Farm Safely
Association (FSA) points out
that rate increases and pay claims
are the responsibility of Workm-
en's Compensation Board, not •
FSA:
"The policy of the FSA, being
involved in an occupational •
accident prevention program, is
to help the farmer,in any way we
can. An explanation for the
rate increases is one of the
questions constantly being asked."
In the put, WCB rates for
farm employers were lower than
recommended by provincial
auditors. With the increasing
cost of payments, the deficity
for these rates has been increa-
sing steadily over the last three
years. In order to bring the
deficit back to normal, WCB
is adopting the recommendations
of its auditors. The $1.05 rate
will be increased to $1.95; and
the $3.35 rate to $4.
. Sawn continues that "the Farm
Safety Association is a purely
consultative organization to help
Ontario farmers reduce their
accident frequencies. Already
many farmers are beginning to
discovor that the number of acci-
dents is well above average; they
have to understand that, without
accident prevention and safety
education, they will be forced
to pay even higher assessments."

Safety Association at 2 Quebec

If you non-farm people still
think that a farrier is a person
who wears bib -overalls, boots
covered with animal waste
and is rather backward, listen
to this. Crop production, based
on an index of 100 in 1967 was
in 1951 at 38. Ten years later
it had increased to 73, almost
double the output per manhour.
In 1971 it had gone up again
by 76 per cent to 122. Live-
stock production per manhour
increased by 93 per cent in the
last ten years. Try to beat that
you non -farmer.

Seed treatment will reap crop dividends next year
In an ideal situation, bean and
crucifer growers would we only
healthy seed, free from fungal
and bacterial organisms. Unfor-
tunately, 'ideal' seed doesn't
seem to exist.
r The problems start when un-
treated seed is planted, spread-
ing the fungus or bacteria to
healthy plants. It takes only
a very few diseased seeds to
cause economic losses in the
crop, yet it is a simple matter
to treat, say, the 4 ounces of
seed needed to produce an acre
of cabbage.
The 1973 growing season was
a good example d what can
happen when untreated seed is
wed, points out L. V. Edging-
ton of the Department of En-
vironmental Biology, Ontario
Agricultural College. A
large number of crucifers in
Ontario and the northern
United States were infected
Facts
on farming
Many people not born on
a farm are dreaming of "going
farming" these days. And
sometimes, time and money
are committed to an agricu-
ultural enterprise before suf-
ficient basic knowledge has
been acquired. The result can
be a nightmare.
To counter this possibility, the
Ontario Agricultural College,
in co-operation with the Office
of Continuing Education at the
University of Guelph, is offer-
ing a series of courses in var-
ious Ontario locations this
winter. Given either in even-
ing lecture sessions ar at home
by correspondence,:these courses
can lead to a Certificate in
Applied Agriculture or can be
taken independently by those
wanting practical, basic infor-
mation on specific areas of
agriculture.
Evening and correspondence
courses are roughly divided into
agricultural and horticultural
areas. Most evening courses
begin in late January or early
February and run for 10 conse-
cutive weeks. The once -a -
week classes are two hours long.
"Principles and Practices of
Beef Management, " one of four
evening courses offered in the
agricultural sector, takes stud-
ents into detailed study of the
technical and economic asp-
ects of beef production .
Stressing cow -calf and beef
feedlot operatium about equally,
the beef course is offered ID
Toronto (Bayview area), London,
and Ottawa.
Other courses in the agricult-
ural portion of the program in-
clude "Agricultural Science
Today" (an introductory course),
"Soil Management for Crop
Production" and "Principles
and Practices of Crop Manage-
menr1 "
"Horsemanship," co-ordinated
by Professor Ryche Owen of the
Department of Clinical Studies
at the Ontario Veterinary College,
begins on February 5 and is
offered in Guelph only. Stabling, '
shoeing, feeding and breeding
management are only a few of
the areas covered in the course.
The horticultural course, off-
ered at Guelph and two Toronto
sites, includes information on
the management of small-scale
fruit and vegetable operations
and data on the right way to
landscape a country property.
Students can also enrol in
any of the 50 ho me -study
courses in all areas of horticu-
lture.
Single enrolment fees for
all courses range from $25.00
to $45.00, with various dis-
counts far family enrolments.
More information on fees,
course times and locations, and
enrolmentsprocedures van be
obtained from Professor Gary
Hutchinson, Co-ordinator,

of Guelph, Guelph,.Ontario.
by Black Leg, a fungus dis-
ease commonly spread by
infected seed. Seed treat-
ment in one form or another
would provide control of many
fungi, and bacteria affecting
beam and crucifer crops.
Most seed companies have
the facilities and equipment
required to provide hot-water
treatments for vegetable seed.
These carefully temperature -
controlled baths (5010 C) kill
bacteria and some fungi. The
treatment is not automatic,
however; some problems of
slightly reduced seed germin-
ation have resulted from this
hot water treatment, and seed
buyers must request it.
With the banning of organic
mercury fungicides, producers
and researchers have been hard,
pressed to come up with substi-
tutes that can do the Job ef-
fectively. One possible treat-
ment involves soaking the seeds
in a solution containing a small
amount of 0.2 per cent Benomyl.
This chemical, although regis-
tered for other crops, cannot at
present be wed in crucifers.
More research is being init-
iated on the Benomyl treatment,
as well as the development of
systemic bactericides for black
rot on crucifers and bacterial
blight on beam. .
Researchers are also consider-
ing the possibility of including
a fungicide (and possibly an
insecticide) in the pelleted
vegetable seeds used in precision
seeding. But while some of
this research is in the future,
present results show that matey
bacterial and fungal diseases
'can be effectively controlled
with seed treatments.
Plan now for that spring
With the winter wind blowing
outside, it might be difficult to
envision your spring and summer
gardens. But think about it:
would a climbing rose look good
near the patio? Or an evergreen
at the corner of the house?
Your ideas and plans can get
an added boost if you look through
one of the new seed catalogues,
says Dave Sangster, horticultural
specialist with the Ontario Mini-
stry of Agriculture and Food.
Mr. Sangster points out that
the latest flower and vegetable
varieties are listed, and often
illustrated in color, so that you
can see the results yourself before
you buy.
See catalogues contain some
useful cultural information
inc hiding the number of days
to maturity, tolerance to dis-
ease, temperature and soil re-
quire ments and suitability of
vegetables for canning and fre-
ezing.
A wide range of gardening
equipment is also listed that
could make your gardening more
enjoyable and more successful.
Many d the seed catalogues con-
tain a list of gardening books
which give more detailed infor-
mation on specific crops.

Dutch cheese and
shrimp puffs
THESE
tasty puffs flavoured with imported Holland
cheese will disappear quickly when you serve them
as an appetizer with drinks, especially when there are
men around, And they can be made even more economi-
cally by substituting a cup of drained, flaked tuna for the
shrimp called for in this recipe,
t/2 cup butter
1 cup water
13/4 ccups all-purpose flour
62 cups shredded imported
Holland Edam or Gouda
1 cup finely diced cooked
shrimp
1 tablespoon chopped onion
salt and pepper
dash of tabasco
oil for deep -fat frying
Heat butter and water in sauce-
pan. When mixture boils, add
the flour all at once; stir vig-
orously with a wooden spoon
until batter leaves the sides of
the saucepan. Remove from
heat. Allow to cool about 1
minute. Add eggs, one at a
time, beating well after each
addition. Stir in shredded Hol-
land cheese, shrimp and sea-
soning.
Pour cooking oil into deep fry -
pan to a depth of about two
inches. Heat to 375.400 de-
grees, Drop cheese and shrimp
batter by teaspoonfuls into hot
oil. Fry puffs, about 12 at a
time until they are golden on
both sides, Remove with slot-
ted spoon; drain on paper
towels. Serve warm in a napkin -
lined dish. Puffs can be kept
warm in a 200° oven, Makes
4-5 dozen appetizer puffs.
Tip: Freeze. To reheat, place
on cookie sheet in 350° oven
for 12-15 minutes.

Atoms attend
tournament
The Blyth Atoms attended
the 6th annual iaternational
Silver Stick Hockey Tournament
in Forest during the Christmas
holidays.
In the first game Blyth inet
a.weak Kettle Point team and
defeated thein 4-0. The goal
scorers were Neil Elliott unassi-
sted, Rick Scrimgeour from •
Robbie Plunkett, Robbie Plunk-
ett unassisted, and Robbie Plu-
nkett from Bruce Honking and
Frank Van Dongen. During this
game the Blyth team allowed
only one shot on their net.
After defeating Kettle Point
on Saturday, December 28 the
Blyth•boys travelled back on
Monday to meet a little tougher
competition. Blyth played a
stronger game and defeated
Sarnia Reserve .2-1: Goal scorers
were: Robbie Plunkett unassisted
and'Bruce Flunking from. Frank
Van Dongen. The goal tenders
came up with some big saves
during this game.
Later in the day the boys
played the strong. Thedford team.
The Blyth boys played their best
game of the year; outplaying
the Thedford team; but going
down to defeat 3-2. The boys
have to be given credit for
reaching the semi-finals in such
a big tournament. 'Frank Van
Dongen who played a strong
game scored two goals and
Rick Scrimgeour assisted on one.
The boys next home game will
be Friday night, January 11,
against Brussels. Brussels has not
been beaten this year and they
would appreciate a good crowd
to give some support.

Bill Smiley
Last week's column
mentioned that unspeakable
species, the readoholic.
That reminded me of a
speech I made about Good
Reading Habits to a group
of honour students. So I
dug up the speech and
propose this week to pass
along some of the more
.worthwhile points in it.
It's not primarily for
students, but if you're not
interested, you can go and
cry over your post -Christmas
bilis.
I became a readoholic
shortly after I learned to
read. My mother would
moan, as she tore the flash-
light out of my hot little
hand about 2 a.m., "Billy
Smiley, you'll be blind by
the time you're fifteen if
you don't stop reading in
dark -corners and cubby-
holes."
Well, I've been reading
in dark corners and bright
ones, on planes and trains,
in the ha throoni and in bed,
in revolving doors and on
escalators, ever since, and
I'm not blind yet. I don't
even wear glasses.
13ut I don't want you
to think I just ignored my
mom's admonition. I have
never since read in a cubby-
hole. In fact, you can
scarcely get your hands on
a cubby-hole thege days.
They scene to have gone the
way of spats and straw hats.
had trouble with that
speech, to the kids. The
principal had suggested the
topic, Good Reading Habits,
and who was I to tell hint
it was a dull and stupid
topic''
When I sat clown to write
the speech, I could think of
only one good reading habit.
Many years ago, when I was
in public school, they taught
us in health classes that you
should always read with the
light coming over your left
shoulder. I don't know why.
They're still teaching it.
This good reading habit
is rather useless if your left
shoulder is high than your
right one, as is sometimes the
case. Atmd of course, if you
are reading Hebrew or
Persian, and read from right
10 left, it - scents more
logical to have the Tight
coaling over your right
shoulder.
I had to admit to the
students that this was the
only good reading habit I
could remember. That
seemed to be the end of
the speech. Then 1 thought,
"Heck, this is no good."
So I confessed that I could
say, without pride, but with
little fear of contradiction,
that I had the most atrocious
reading habits of any male
h1 Canada.
I suggested that I talk
instead about I3ad Reading
Habits, Then, if they
listened carefully, and
immediately afterward for-
got everything I had said,
they would he well on the
way to acquiring Good
Reading Habits. There was
general agreement that this
was a sensible approach.
I warned them of the
depths of degradation to
which a readoholic would
descend to get his stuff. I
told them that an alcoholic
or a drug addict would
stoop pretty low to get the
wherewithal for his habit.
And I told them this was
kid stuff compared to what
the readoholic would stoop
10.
I gave them an example:
a friend of urine during the
war. He had the habit very
badly. I lost track of him,
but heard from friends that
he had managed to kick it.
Then one day, a couple
of months after the war,
I met him in Alexandria,
North Africa. Ile was a
handsome Sikh, with a sky-
blue turban and a curly,
black beard. But right
away, I knew from the red -
rimmed eyes, the glazed
look, that he was still hooked
on reading.
He was leading an old
lady by time hand. I asked
him who she was and where
they were going. He had
the decency to look ashamed
as he answered ambiguously,
"Old friend Smilee, I am
knowing what you theenk,
but I got to get a book",
before hurrying off.
1 heard later that the
aged lady was his mother,
THE BLYTH STANDARD, Jan. 9, 1974, PG. 15'
The bathtub is my favourite
and he was on his way
to the slave market, I
understand he got $19 for
her, Or, in readoholic terms,
about twenty-two paper-
backs,
Oh, I put the fear into
those honour students, But
then I tried to soften the
blow. Told them of some
of the great discoveries for
which readoholism had been
responsible.
Newton, reading under
an apple tree, The old story
is that he was sleeping, but
the truth is that he had
just picked up a copy of
the recently published
"Fanny Hill" and was def.
initely reading. Apple fell,
hit him on the head, and
we had the Law of Gravity,
without which we'd be in
very grave shape.
And there was the Greek,
Archimedes, He climbed
into the bath one day for a
quiet read. Immediately he
opened his book, he knew
something was wrong. Ile
leaped out of the tub,
crying, "Paprika! " Some-
body had • put paprika
instead of bath salts in his
water. And thus was dis-
covered Archimedes Princi-
ple, a very important law
in the study of physics.
I don't know much about
the Principle, but I think
it's something like, "Half
a bath is better than none."
This anecdote brought
me toward my peroration.
It reminded me that I knew
of another Good Reading
Habit, This made two. A
good Reading Habit is to
read in the bathtub.
Someone once said that
the ideal learning situation
was a boy sitting on one
end of a log, and Mark Van
Doren, the great U.S.
educator, sitting on the
other.
My notion of the ideal
learning situation would be
a classroom with thirty-five
bathtubs instead of desks.
And up at the front, a
' super -tub, preferably in pink
mother-of-pearl, for Mr.
Smiley.
It might be a little
expensive, but think of the
special effects we•could get
when teaching The Spanish
Armada in history, or Old
Man and the Sea, in English.
Perhaps I should add that
we'd be wearing swim -suits.

Behind the Scenes
In
praise of Americans
BY KEITH ROU1S'ION
There is little doubt who the
most famous Canadian writer in
the United States is these days.
It isn' t Pierre Burton or Gregory
Clark or Margaret Lawrence and
it isn't, unfortunately, yours
truly. It is Gordon Sinclair.
Yes grouchy Gordon is winning
friends and influencing people
for a change and it isn't, signi-
ficantly, in Canada. Gordon
wrote a short piece for his radio
show in Toronto last spring when
the United States was in trouble
financially because the U.S.
dollar was as popular as a skunk
on the markets of the world and
the first winds of Watergate
were starting to sweep the
country. His piece was full of
praise for our southern neigh-
bour and it found a waiting aud-
ience in the U.S. It was re-
printed in several newspapers
and distributed by the U.S.
government around the world.
CKLW in Windsor read the
piece over the radio one day
and a Detroit record company ,
executive heard it and decided
to make a recording of it with
background music of America
the Beautiful especially after
the radio station received 3500
calls of approval for the piece,
most it seems likely, from the
predominantly American aud-
ience for the station. The record
is expected to sell five million
copies, and another record with
old Sine himself reading the
piece, is on the market with a
recording of the piece. Trust
old Cord: even when he pays
a compliment it pays.
The following is a copy of
what Sinclair has to say:
The United States dollar
took another pounding on Ger-
man, French and British ex-
changes this morning hitting
the lowest point ever known
in West Germany.
It had declined there by 11
per cent since 1971 and this
Canadian thinks it is time to
speak up for the Americans
as the most generous and possibly
the least appreciated people in
all the earth.
As long as 60 years ago, when
I first started to read newspapers.
I read of floods on the Yellow
River and the Yangtze. Who
rushed in with men and money
to help? The Americans did.
They have helped control
floods on the Nile, the Amazon,
the Ganges and Niger.
Today the rich bottomland of
the Mississippi is underwater
and no foreign land has sent a
dollar to help.
Germany, Jape t and to a lesser
extent Britain a.,d Italy, were
lifted out of the debris of war by
the Americans who poured in
billions of dollars and forgave
Idler billions in debts.
None of these countries is
today paying even the interest
on its remaining debts to the
United States.
...When distant cities are
hit by earthquake it is the United
States thathun,ies in to help...
Managua, Nicaragua, is one of
the most recent examples. So
far this spring 59 A inerican
communities have been flattened
by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.
The Marshall Plan, the Trum-
an Policy, all pumped billions
upon billions of dollars into dis-
couraged countries. Now news-
papers in those countries are
writing about the decadent war
mongering Americans.
Why does no other land
on earth even consider putting
a man or woman on the moon?
You talk about Japanese tech-
nocracy and you get radios.
You talk about German techno-
cracy and you get automobiles.
You talk about American
technocracy and you find men
on the moon, not once but sever-
al times... and safely home
again.
You talk about scandals and
the Americans put theirs right
in the store window for every-
body to look at.
...When the Americans get
out of this bind.. as they will...
who could balme then ff they
said we'll forget about the rest
of the world. Let someone
e]se buy the Israel bonds. Let
someone e]se build or repair
foreign dams or design foreign
buildings that won't shake
apart in earthquakes.
When the railways of France,
Germany and India were break-
ing down through age, it was
the Americans who rebuilt them.
When the Pennsylvania Railroad
and the New York Central went
broke, nobody loaned them an
old caboose. Both are still
broke.
I can name to you 5,000 times
when the Americans raced to
the help of other people in
trouble.
Can you name me even one
time when someone else raced
to the Americans in trouble?
Our neighbours have faced it
alone and I'm one Canadian who
is tired of hearing them kicked
around. They will come out
of this thing with their flag
high. And when they do, they
are entitled to thumb their nose
at the lands that are gloating
over their present troubles.
I hope Canada is not one of
these.. . And finally the
American Red Cross was told
at its 48th annual meeting in
New Orleans this morning that
it was broke. This year's dis-'
asters • . , with the year less
than half over has taken it all
land nobody has helped.
There is much truth in what
Cord has to say, ofcourse when
you're king of the mountain
like the U.S. has been for a
long time, you don't get much
sympathy. We north of the
border are sometimes ps guilty
as anybody of not giving a fair
break to Americans. Yet like
any subject, there are two sides.
America has done things to
gain some of its poor reputation.
Very few tines are bad reputat-
ions completely unjustified.
We're not knocking the Ameri-
cans when we say this because
no country can be right all the
time and when one is as powe-
rful and complex at the U.S.,
then there are bound to be
mistakes that drastically affect
the restc.of the world.
One can't blame Americans
in their present troubles for lo-
ving to hear something nice
said by an outsider, but there
would seem to be a danger in
it too. A recent Associated
Press dispatch from New York
showed that Americans are
buying many record which
praise their country, but ignor-
ing those critical, such as the
Watergate -related albums.
The U. S. is in a ti ne of
crisis. Will its citizens face
up to the tough fight and win
a better country for it, or will
they stick th eir heads in the
sand and listen only to the good
things said. It's hard to say,
but we wish them luck.
* **
In the past, we've been
critical of the police breaking
minor traffic laws that we
would be expected to obey.
Well, we're here to report that
we saw an officer the other day
doing something right that very
few of us do: locking his car.

your week ahead BY DR. A.W. DAMIS
Forecast Period; January 13 to January 19
According to stellar patterns, most members of
your sign will face problems with the opposite
sex because of, or during, travel, The solu-
tion? Stick close to home base.
A rather strange, hard to explain, portent shows
in your chart. The color, red, in one form or
another, will play an important role in this
week's events.
Too much self analysis, lying to yourself in
order to justify your motives, shows in this
week's chart, Let the opposite sex make the
first move.
Given a fair set of circumstances, most mem-
bers of your sign should tear off huge chunks
of good luck, A calculated financial risk is
recommended.
Someone who believes that a lie functions as
well as the truth will attempt to deceive you.
Remember, there's no protection or rules
against treacherous "friends,"
Meet all appointments, scheduled. Any delay of
your obligations night provoke stinging re-
prisals, Stay on top of the ball .. • this week
could be rewarding or disasterous,
A member of the opposite sex, whose actions
seem singularly pointless, should be studied.
Why? Apparently, there are questionable mo-
tives beneath the veneer.
Checking into the incompetence that now exists
among your associates, most assuredly, will
bring no popularity, this week. It's time to
check your own shortcomings.
There's excellent advice coming, by way of a
letter, a phone call or through a casual con-
versation, It's a good time to listen intently,
even, to gossip.
A subtle chain of events, during this cosmic
cycle, will stir new and daring ambitions. In
what department of life? Probably, romance or
career!
This week, associates see you as being about as
tameable as a fly. Try to be communicative with
those who surround you; especially, your co-
workers.
According to your chart, this week could be a
replay of last week, It's highly probable, con-
ditions beyond your control will change your
plans, radically.
