'Rutabaga King' dies in Kitchener
A.H. WILFORD
A Blyth native who became
something of a celebrity across the
province died Jan. 30 in Kitchener.
A.H. Wilford who was born in
Blyth on March 16, 1887 and
became known as the Rutabaga
King died in the Sunnyside Home,
Kitchener. Mr. Wilford spent
nearly his entire life promoting
something or other. In the early
1950's he promoted a trade fair in
the Blyth arena that attracted
exhibitors and viewers from far and
wide. He also became involved
with promoting turnips while in
Blyth and carried the promotion on
elsewhere to the point he gained
the nick -name "Rutabaga King".
On the birth of Justin Trudcau, Mr.
Wilford, who was promoting for the
chinchilla growers at the time, sent
a chinchilla skin to the Prime
Minister and his wife for the baby.
He said in a 1969 interview that
he ran away from school at 13 and
never went back. He tried farming
and at 19 bought a warehouse at
Wingham and packaged butter and
cheese for shipment.
He later took a job consolidating
small creameries into a large
marketing pool for the Saskatchew-
an government and then went on to
organize the Ontario Egg Pool.
In the early 1930's, Mr. Wilford
went into publishing when he
purchased Trade and Transporta-
tion, a Toronto magazine. He ran it
full-time for 10 years and occasion-
ally published an issue until he was
into his 80s.
At one time, he said he once
promoted Durham county turnips
so well their price rose from 25
cents to $1.25 a bushel. He
travelled through the United States
with his car packed with bushels of
turnips and made ceremonious
presentations to mayors and
governors.
He called his turnips "Rutabaga
- the concentrated sunshine from
Ontario."
While rutabaga is a Swedish -
turnip and doesn't grow in Durham
County, Mr. Wilford said the name
was interesting so he used it and it
earned him. the title, King of the
Rutabagas.
He lived in Toronto for many
years and was official welcomer at
Timothy Eaton United Church. His
wife died in 1966 and he moved to
London, Ont. and then to Kitchener
and began doing a television show
promoting "Canadian products for
Canadian people" on CKCO•TV,
Channel 13.
He started Canada House, a
one-man organization promoting
Canadian commercial goods. He
acted as a goodwill ambassador for
Fairview Park shopping centre and
once played Santa Claus for the
mall for a week when the regular
Santa didn't show up.
He started a photo-marketorium
in Kitchener and Toronto in 1969 to
help small Canadian manufacturers
get in touch with foreign trade
delegations. He believed photo-
graphs were the only way small
manufacturers could make contact
to export their goods.
He never stopped promoting.
Once when the Queen visited
London, Ont., Mr. Wilford made
his way through security by saying
he was from Canada House and he
had a presentation to make to the
Queen. He walked right up to the
Queen and presented her with a
rutabaga.
Stan Young, administrator of
Sunnyside Home, called Mr.
Wilford the home's ambassador.
Whenever visitors came to the
home, Mr. Wilford would meet
them at the front door, show them a
"warm, friendly welcome" and
offer to take them on a tour.
He also arranged for choirs and
slide presentations for residents
and promoted residents' bus trips
to other homes in Ontario by
telephoning the news media and
the police chief to arrange a "police
escort" for the bus.
Funeral services were held
Friday, Feb. 1 in Kitchener with
burial in Wingham. He was the last
surviving member of his family.

Council to try to get
licence office
Despite a rebuff from the
Ministry of Transport and Comm-
unications, Blyth council moved
Monday night to push ahead with
their attempt to gain a licence
issuing office for Blyth.
Council had written the Ministry
after their last meeting asking for
such an office and received a letter
back stating that a survey showed
that revenue for a licencing office
in a village such as Blyth would
likely be only about $2400 per year
and the experience of the Ministry
was that few people were willing to
provide facilities and work for this
amount. The letter said that
Ministry officials could not see
setting up a Blyth office.
Councillor John Manning said he
felt the letter was a rap on the
knuckles to the Blyth council in the
hope they'd drop the subject. He
felt council should pursue the
matter further and other councill-
ors agreed with him when he said
he felt there were many people in
Blyth interested in about that
amount of money. He felt it was not
only a matter of getting a part-time
job for some resident, but of
providing a service for the people
of Blyth and the surrounding
district who now have to travel
miles out of their way to get a
licence.
The council voted to ask the
Ministry how to go about setting up
a local licence bureau.
William Manning, Blyth's rep-
resentative on the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority was pres-
ent at the meeting and presented a
lengthy report on the activities of
the Authority. Membership in the
Authority cost Blyth residents less
than $1.00 each, he stated' and said
that the Authority was not giving
any direct benefit to the village but
that the Authority was a little like
preventative maintenance. He said
the budget for the Authority for
1974 is more than $270,000.
Mr. H. Schoonbeek was present
. at the meeting asking for a licence
'to operate a taxi service into Blyth.
The plan calls for a central
dispatching base between Clinton
and Seaforth with about six cars to
serve the arca from Goderich to
Wingham to Mitchell. Council
shelved the matter until the next
meeting because they were not
sure they wanted to make a
decision that might prevent others
from offering a. similar service
within the village itself.

Editorials
Let's end the fighting
Bitterness is growing on all sides over the current battle between
teachers and school boards over salary negotiations. Separate Schools
here in Huron -Perth were closed the early part of this week and in
other areas public and secondary schools were also closed.
Parents arc bitter because they feel their children are being used as
pawns. Teachers are bitter because they feel they are bearing the brunt
of government education cost ceilings. Teachers who went on strike (or
resigned as is the proper term) are bitter toward those who didn't,
feeling they are traitors, yet some of these teachers stayed on the job
because they conscientiously thought they could not leave the children
without teachers.
Bitterness is sure to grow if the provincial government proceeds with
its plan to ban mass -resignations as a bargaining technique by
teachers.
Surely, there must be a better way. The adversary system in
Canadian labour negotiations is certainly one of the most outmoded
and costly monstrosities in the nation. Yet no one, neither government,
nor labour nor management, seems to be putting much effort, thought
or money into trying to find some alternative.
While the unions, whether it be teachers or garbagemen or mailmen,
battle for a few dollars more in their pay cheque, the general public is
put through considerable trouble and expense trying to do without
their services. Teachers arc really less necessary for a short period of
time than other professions, but still, innocent children are being used
as a bargaining tool. Surely the teachers, as bright and well-educated
as they are, can conic up with a better solution. Surely the provincial
government with its thousands of employees can put someone on the
job of trying to find a better way to solve disputes.
It's time to stop fighting long enough to find a solution to preventing
future tights.
When do the
answers come
A study was released in Ottawa recently suggesting some possible
answers to the transportation problems caused in this area by the
cancellation of rail service more than two years ago. The first question
that can be asked of the study is: why did it take so long?
The study is carefully billed as.just that, a study, with a list of ideas,
not proposals or answers to the problem. Why did it take so long to
bring out such a flimsy report?
As usual, it seems the Ottawa beurocrats have done things
backward. First they cancel the train service and then they try to find
an alternative at their leisure years later. Why was the train service not
ordered continued until a solution to the transportation problems of the
area was in action.
The Canadian Transport Commission can't really care too much
about what goes on in Western Ontario or they would have made a
better effort than it has to come up with some answers, not just flimsy
suggestions.
The reluctant
bridegroom
it would make a great script for a hilarious movie.
There they were on television, the black natives of a Carribean island
colony waving a tiny maple leaf flag and shouting, "This is your future
flag" to wild cheering from the audience. There were school children in
their tropical school house singing 0 Canada (the true north strong and
free?). And there were the Canadian government officials trying to
dodge the question of a possible marriage of Canada and the tiny Turks
and Caicos islands and newspaper editorials warning against such a
union.
The whole thing, of course, started out as a bit of a joke, but now the
possible union of the tiny British colony of 6000 persons and massive
northern Canada has moved beyond the joke stage. The islanders, you
see, really want the union and we in Canada with our traditional
inferiority complex just don't know what to do. Why would this little
colony utiles away want to be a part of Canada? Why not a part of the
rich and glorious United States which is much closer? We just don't
know what to make of it.
Ironically, on some Carribean Islands Canada is being branded
imperialistic for the activities of some of our businesses in the area. But
here is an island that wants to become a part of Canada and Canadians
are backpeddling like a suitor faced by a future father-in-law with a
shot gun.
Certainly there are some things that make one hesitant about such a
union: particularly the fact that neither they, nor us, know much about
the other's way of life. But at the same time there are many benefits to
some sort of arrangement between the two countries if the islanders
want such an arrangement. Perhaps this should not be a union but at
least a common market arrangement. At least we could stop laughing
and try to help the islands that obviously want our help.

From My Window
On growing up
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
1t has been quite a while since
I've visited in your homes with you,
During the Christmas -New Year
rush, I began a holiday which took
me and my family to sunnier climes
in Florida, it was a great holiday
and one which I hope 1 can relive
one day soon.
Everyone in the family went
except our oldest son. He remained
at home to grow up. Of course, he
didn't think of it that way, but that
is What it turned out to be - a
growing process for him and a
conditioning process for me,
When we were planning the trip,
it was evident our eldest would not
go with us. In his final year of high
school he felt he could not afford
the time away from class, and of
course, I applauded him for his
sensible attitude toward his schol-
astic success;
But 1 must admit I was reluctant
to leave him. Whether it was the
pangs of motherhood or the
recollection of my own youthful
exhuberancc while mom and dad
were away, I do not really know. All
I admit is that I was hesitant about
travelling 1500 miles away and
leaving my son to fend for himself.
"Let go of those apron strings,
Shirley," my husband admonish-
ed. "He's 18. According to the law,
he's an adult. He's finishing school
and leaving home this fall, Get
used to the idea he's growing up
and going out of the nest."
That seemed like sane and sage
advice, so throwing caution to the
wind I agreed to go to Florida
without him...and leave by boy
alone.
Strangely enough, I was not
worried about him while I was
gone, I was so wrapped up in my
own pleasure, I completely forgot
my concern for my son. It was a
good thing too. I could have made
myself miserable while all the time,
our eldest was doing marvellously
by himself,
The day we arrived home,
unannounced, was about two days
earlier than planned, I was ready
for the worst when I opened the
door.
To my utter relief, the house was
absolutely normal - maybe cleaner
than usual. The dishes were done.
The sinks were cleaned, The
basement had been tidied up. The
records were neatly stacked. The
fridge was clean as a whip. The
stove was gleaming. And our eldest
was at school. Complete order all
round.
When our son did arrive home,
he assured us he was glad to see
us, that he was tired of the
responsibility and the routine
which accompanies the manage-
ment of a home. He did say,
however, he had enjoyed his
experience, that he understood our
problems in maintaining a house-
hold and working at the same time
that he respected our views now on
several matters which he previous-
ly had not understood and that he
had learned a great deal about life
and living.
"The prices!" he raved. "The
prices are terrible. I don't know
how you and dad do it. 1 thought
you'd left me plenty of stoney, that
I wouldn't need nearly all of it. Do
you know that I'm almost out of
money and that in another few days
i wouldn't have had any?"
I commented on the cleanliness
of the house. I asked if the cleaning
lady had been in regularly.
My son fold me he'd cancelled
her services until I returned.
"1 figured that with just me here
I could keep the place clean," he
beamed proudly. "I think I did a
pretty good job. I had a routine. If
you would have come home
tomorrow, I'd have had the dusting
done, Tonight's niy night to dust."
Was he hungry, 1 wanted to
know.
"No," he shrugged, "Remind
me to give you my recipe for chili.
It is really great, I make a mean
bowl of chili. I even gave a dinner
party while you were gone,
Everybody ate and ate so it trust
have been good."
So there you have it, friends.
After years of ranting and raving,
lecturing and loving, talking and
teaching, they boy has given way to
a man. What a glorious feeling.
What a lesson Learned • for both of
US.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEB. 6, 1974, PG.3.
Writers argue against recreation cost sharing
The Editor:
Concerning your article in the
January 30 paper entitled, "Time
to Start Sharing Costs", I disagree
with this column entirely. You state
that most of the people who might
have to pay 10 mills more on their
taxes in Blyth would not use the
pool. However, I would like you to
consider that maybe you could be
wrong in suspecting that the
country people would have more
use for it.
If there is such a big percentage
in the rural arca who don't use it
then why should we pay for it?
Most of the rural young people
north of the 8th concession in
Morris township wouldn't use the
pool. Any young people in this part
of Morris either swim in the river,
swim in the Brussels pool, or swim
at the park in East Wawanosh,
Many of the rural youths in Morris
learned how to swim in Brussels.
East Wawanosh youths swim at the
park west of Belgrave, Also who
can guarantee that the rural youths
will have just as much time in the
pool as the Blyth youths? I have
heard rumors which state that at
the present pool the Blyth youths
arc refusing to let the rural youths
use it. i can't see the situation
changing just because the rural
people help to pay for the building
of the pool. This has been shown
before concerning Blyth versus the
rural people. The Hall was not buili
by Blyth people alone. Blyth
canvased the surrounding area for
donations but now the town has
more right to use the hall than the
rural people. It is quite possible
that the rural people helped build
the arena, also. Also you don't
realize that if the farmers of the
rural areas did not buy in the Blyth
stores that Blyth would eventually
die. Also if you expect the
surrounding townships to help pay
for town expenccs that this would
be nearly impossible! Morris
township would have to help pay
for recreations in Walton, Brussels,
Jamestown, Bluevale, Wingham,
Belgrave and Blyth. East Wawa -
nosh would have to pay Wingham,
Belgrave, Blyth, Auburn, and
Whitechurch. If the township
councils give into one demand then
they must give into more demands.
1 do NOT like your statement "the
rural municipalities freeload". As I
have stated before much of Blyth's
customers are rural "freeloaders".
However, have you ever considered
that maybe you and other urban
residents "freeload" off the rural
municipalities? Do you help to pay
for road repair since most of you
use the rural roads? Urban people
come out to the rural area for a
Blyth Euchre

There will be. another euchre as
usual next Monday.
picnic and leave the countryside
looking as if a garbage truck had an
accident which hadn't been cleaned
up yet. Maybe urban residents
should pay to clean the country-
side. Also 1 wonder how many
residents of Blyth go to the East
Wawanosh park to swim? I think
you would be surprised at the
number! I disagree with your
statement, "Most recreation facil-
ities such as the arena and the
proposed swimming pool are used
by more people from outside the
village boundaries than from
within", Most rural youths which
use YOUR arena come from the
region IMMEDIATELY surround-
ing Blyth. However, the majority of
residents in East Wawanosh and
Morris have the choice of the
Belgrave, Brussels or Wingham
arena. I disagree with your
statement, "Most residents of the
rural area around Blyth, we're
sure, would not begrudge the extra
few dollars a year it would take to
pay their share of the bills". The
rural residents are having a hard
time to make ends meet without the
unnecessary expense of the pool.
Most rural residents are so busy
during the day that they haven't
the time to take their children into
town, Also the life of a rural youth
is more busy than the life of an
urban youth. The rural people are
keeping you in business. Compare
the number of subscribers from
Blyth to the rest and see which has
more. I do think that it is a good
Pleads

music course
project for some people, Why don't
you ask for donations from
interested people and then see how
much more you must find to build
the pool. The people who want a
pool will help pay for it and they
should pay more than an uninter-
ested person.
In your article entitled, "A
Welcome Move" is it possible that
the rural regions will help pay for
it? I think it is a good idea in this
case to share costs but I think it
must also be realized that Blyth
residents should not have the first
chance to live in the building. it
should be decided by the need o1
the person.
In your article, "Poor showing at
first centennial meeting" you make
the point that now is the time to
plan for it. I agree but do you think
the rural areas surrounding Blyth
should help to finance it? Even if
10,000 or 12,000 persons attend
what benefit is it to the rural
people. All interest should be
shown by the, businessmen of Blyth
because they are the ones that will
benefit.
in the article entitled, "Board of
Trade Annual meeting Feb. 12" it
appears by your article that the
businessmen have lost interest in
their town's future. If the owners of
the stores lack interest then why
should rural people have interest in
the future of Blyth. If any merchant
reads this letter I hope they will
take interest in their town's
The Editor,
An open letter to music lovers
1 write this letter to you because I
feel that you should know what
might not happen this year.
It has been my hope for many
years that the administration of
Central Huron Secondary School
would offer a music course. I felt i
had the backing of many parents
and students in this community in
my efforts to have such a course
introduced.
This year, our principal, Mr.
Homuth not only agreed to have a
music program if enough students
signed up, but he also gave me
time to visit the grade VIll classes
and tell them about the program.
The amount of interest shown in
the Public schools I visited was
very encouraging, despite the fact
that students were urged not to
indicate interest unless they were
seriously considering the music
course. In a typical case, Clinton
Public School, 20 students indicat-
ed definite interest in a choral
music program, 11 in an instru-
mental program, and 9 in a
combination of instrumental and
choral music. Over all schools, my
pre -survey showed enough inter-
ested students for at least 5 classes
of music.
The proposed music course for
next year at C.H.S.S. is a choral
program with the promise of an
instrumental program to be introd-
uced the year following if enough
interest is shown.
We are now well into registra-
tion. Again, Clinton Public School
is typical; of the 40 students who
said they were definitely interested
in some form of music class, a
disappointing small number (only
6) signed up.
Unless we have enough students
for at least 3 classes there may not

be any music next year, and 1 can
say with almost absolute certainty,
that music will never be offered in
our school again, at least for years
to come.
Having worked with many of the
youth of this area in choirs and
musicals, I feel that this will be a
great loss. We have much musical
talent that needs to be developed.
Your sons and daughters deserve
the same educational opportunities
as children in cities.
The students of C.H.S.S. have
been given a chance, this year, for
music, 1 hope they take it.

ED. NOTE: Far be it from us to
quash healthy discussion before it
gets started but:
1. We are talking about sharing the
costs of operating the pool, not
building it. The building of the pool
would be through donations.
2, We arc not suggesting cost
sharing only for Blyth, but for all
recreation programs in the county -
whether in Blyth, Brussels, Wing -
ham or elsewhere,
3. There is no cost to anyone in
forming a senior citizens' club and
very little cost (and that to the
village) to senior citizens' apart-
ments.
4. Statistics show that 55% of those
taking swimming lessons through
the Blyth program (in Clinton pool)
last year came from outside the
village.
5. There has been no discussion
what -so -ever of asking rural
residents to help pay the cost of
centennial plans except through.
any donations they may wish to
give,
Dear Editor:
In reply to your editorial oh page
two of last week's paper, referring
to the rural municipal council's
guarding the purse strings jealous-
ly, it is very easy to critize when
you look at a problem from one
side. We that live several miles
from town have considerable
expense just to get to your village.
While we are there we spend
money in your stores, shops and
mills. If the village doesn't want to
supply recreational facilities, then
we will go elsewhere.
We have been paying more than
our share to urban centres for fire
protection and sanitary waste
disposal for years and it seems very
narrow minded to suggest that
rural people are freeloaders.
1 would suggest that our rural
councils have very intelligent
representatives on your recreation-
al board and if it is the way you
describe it, we would be better to
leaye you alone and go somewhere
else. We on the farms have our own
swimming holes. In some cases it is
the urban people who smash the
beer bottles at these swimming
areas and cause the hazards of cut
feet. I think we are willing to pay
for our children's instructions and
lessons if you can see fit to supply
the facilities.

"Complete victory for God at
Armageddon is no mere quaint
story, said Laurence Gray,
District Supervisor of Jehovah's
Witnesses.
Addressing an audience of 1610
at the John Diefenbaker Secondary
School in Hanover this past
Sunday, Mr. Gray spoke on the
subject, "Be Confident of Divine
Victory."
His listeners heard him say,
"that with a human victor in war, a
new rulership is often as bad or
worse than the former. Not so with
God," he said. "God is not
motivated by greed for territory or
more people to exploit. He is
already a loving universal ruler
deserving of our worship."
Explaining the need for Christ-
ians to be certain of their
confidence in God the speaker
stated, "when our relationship to
Jehovah is the thing of greatest
importance, we will make every
effort to strengthen it."
In his concluding remarks, Gray
urged all in attendance, "not to
allow the anxieties of life or the
desires for material possessions to

The regular meeting of the Blyth
Municipal Recreation Committee
was held on January 30, with a
good attendance.
On motion of Rudy Lcibold and
Bill Howson it was decided to have
the list of requirements as specified
by the Huron County Health Unit
attended to at the arena as soon as
possible.
On motion of Bill Howson and
Joe Hunking the recreation comm-
ittee will provide the hall and
facilities to the senior citizens
organizational meeting on Febru-
ary 6.
Mr, Hubbard, named his comm-
ittee members for the year as
follows: Arena, Bill Howson,

cause one to lose sight of the
coming victory and New Order.
Make decisions and guide your life
with divine victory in full view," he
said.
Earlier in the day 30 newly
ordained ministers were baptized
by complete immersion in water to
symbolize their dedication to serve
their God Jehovah.
The Saturday evening program
was completely devoted to the
evangelistic work of the Witnesses
and how their love for one another
abounds in every facet of their
lives.
A highlight of the evening,
"Have Love For The Whole ,
Association of Brothers", illustrat-
ed the need for total unity among
all dedicated servants of God.
The Witnesses are certain that
this present system of things is
rapidly drawing to a close and
Christian activity is urgently
needed for survival.
Mr. Adam Hack, presiding
minister of the local congregation
said that there was unanimous
approval of the complete program
by all attending delegates.

Cost and risks are high in the beef business, According to an Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food
study of 24 feedlot enterprises in southern, western and central Ontario, feedlot operators in 1972
made an average of $8,72 for every 100 pounds of live beef they produced, before expenses such as
allowances for their own labour, equity capital and management costs. Total direct expenses •
including feeding, marketing and trucking, veterinary care and medicine, bedding and miscellaneous
Items • averaged $20.08 for each 100 pounds the animals gained. Total general and depreciation
expenses on that 100 pounds amounted to $7.51, making the total average cost to the operator, for
each 100 pounds of gain, $27.59. The average value of each 100 pounds of live beef produced was
$36.31, leaving $8.72 in revenue for the farmer.
Agricultural Tidbits
WITH ADRIAN VOS
It is my fond hope that our
doctors will read this item I am
about to write, At the U. of
Georgia, research has indicated
that saturated fatty acid, which
raises blood cholesterol, is not even
present in meat fat. The primary
fatty acid that is in meat fat
(caproic) actually lowers blood
cholesterol and blood pressure.
On top of this comes the
statement from Dr. Michael De-
Bakey, the famous heart transplant
surgeon, that only about 30 per
cent of heart patients have any
cholesterol abnormality. He said
that diet is not a specific cause of
heart disease, stating, 'We don't
know the cause and we need to take
a much saner attitude toward diet
in relation to the disease, since it is
obvious that diet, as far as 65 per
cent to 70 per cent of the patients
are concerned, has not been related
or associated with the disease in
our experience,"
Then from Dr. Raymond Reiser,
Texas A & M University, that
saturated fats do not by any
criterion, elevate cholesterol to
high risk levels, if indeed they raise
it at all. Dr; Sherman of the Meat
Board thought it more likely that
we insufficient crude fiber that that
we cat too much saturated fat. He
said that there is considerable
evidence that dietary fiber •• whole
cereal grains, roughage of fruits,
vegetables •• lowers blood cholest-
erol.
Just seen in the daily press that
the agricultural outlook conference
doesn't expect food cost to go
down. We, as farmers have known
this all along.
It can't come down at the farm
level, for then production would
decrease and the price increase. It
can't go down at the transportation
Second Huron
FCC lawyer
At a meeting between Brian
Ducharme, special assistant to
Federal Agriculture Minister Eu-
gene Whelan, and Doug Fortune,
President of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture, Mr.
Ducharme announced that the
Farm Credit Corporation is appoin-
ting a second solicitor in Huron
county.
This action is the result of a
resolution passed at the January
meeting of the Huron Federation,
where members protested the long
delays in finalizing FCC loans. Mr.
Ducharme stated, that immediately
upon receipt of the solution, Mr,
Whelan and representatives of
FCC investigated the problem in
Huron County and decided to take
this action, The Ione solicitor for
FCC in Huron county now is Mr.
I W.J.E. Parker of Goderich. The
name of the new appointee will be
released in the near future.
RURAL ROUNDUP
level, for fuel prices went up as
well as truck prices, and wages
won't come down. Restaurant
prices can't come down because
wages and other inputs went up.
Retail prices won't go down for the
same reasons.
It appears to me that low income
people must have some help to pay
for the higher food cost. But I'm
afraid that high income people,
professional people and some high
paid union members will not be
willing to sacrifice anything. Then,
if the food cost goes up, they'll
demand more money, which in turn
will result in higher food cost.
Calves should be raised w four weeks of age before they arc sold.
according to Dr. R.A. Willoughby of the University of Guelph, He was
speaking at the 100tH meeting of the Ontario Veterinary Associ:;tion in
Toronto, It was pointed out that if the primary producer of the calf was
to keep it at one residence until it was one month of age it would be
much more resistant to disease, The highest Mortality tisk is within
the first 13 days of a calf's life. Dr. Willoughby milt on to say that if a
produces' wanted to spend his disease control money to good advantage
that it would be in this area of activity. It really necessitates getting
back to the basics of calf rearing. Over the past 20 or 30 years there has
been no dramatic evolutionary change in management skills. !
(.'anadian farmers are facing a happy prospect of a record $4.6 billion
income in 1974• a total . that is more than twice the amount they
received two years ago, W.L. Porteous, director of Statistics Canada's
agriculture division, predicted Tuesday.
He told the annual Canadian agricultural outlook conference that the
income forecast is up $1.6 billion from 1973 and more than $2 billion
from 1972, both record figures, His prediction, he said, was based on
these asS►lillptiuns:
--Initial Canadian Wheat 'Board payments at 1973-74 levels:
--Final Canadian Wheat Board payment for 1973.74 will be paid in
1974:
--Deferred income from grain sales will be higher in 1974 than in
1973; and
•-North American meat demands will remain at levels similar to
those in 1973.
On this basis, gross cash income should total about $9,6 billion but
skyrocketing farm expenses, predicted at about 55 billion, will trine the
net figure,
Higher prices for most commodities generated the 1973 record
income o1' just under $3 billion with increases in cash receipts ranging
from 21,5 per cent in Quebec to 68.1 per cent in Prince Edward Island.
The total was tui impressive $800,000,000 gain from the previous
record set in 1972, •

CUNNINGHAM. In loving memory
of our dear daughter and sister,
Donna Lorraine who passed away
one year ago, February 13, 1973.
One sad and lonely year has passed
Since that great sorrow fell.
The shock that we received that day
No one can ever tell
Your end came sad and sudden
No time to say goodbye
You were gone before we knew it
Only God knows the reason why
A Golden Heart stopped beating
Two working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.
We cannot forget your smiling face
Your happy, loving ways,
The smile that won so many friends
In the happy by -gone days.
So this month comes with deep
regret,
For it brings back a day we cannot
forget.
You left so sudden without a
goodbye,
But our memories of you will never
die.

residents could leave paper, glass

expressed interest in the project
and was promised more informa-
tion at next month's meeting.
The 1974 budget for the Blyth
recreation committee was discuss-
ed. It calls for total expenditures of
$15,600 against revenues of $8400
with a deficit of $7200.
Grants of $25 were given to the
Huron County Plowmen's Associa-
tion and the Belgrave, Blyth
Brussels School Fair. A grant of
$150 was made to the Horticultural
Society.
A year-end report showed that
$25,000 was spent on road
construction and maintenance in
the village last year. Clerk Larry
Walsh reported that about 60 street
signs would be required to identify
all Blyth streets, On the same
subject, Mrs. Street presented a
petition signed by residents of
Wilson Street asking that the name
of the street be changed to Gypsy
Lane, the nick -name for the street
for many years. Mrs. Street said
she felt the name had much more
local colour than the old name.
Council voted to prepare a
by-lawfor the name change and
have it published to see the
feelings of local residents on the
change.
This 'n' That
Readers of our newspaper from
out of town aren't the only ones
who get frustrated at late delivery
of newspapers. We subscribe to
several daily newspapers from
across Canada in order to get
background for information used in
our newspaper. Recently an issue
of the St. Johns Newfoundland
Telegram arrived in our box. It was
dated Jan. 12 and arrived on Jan.
31. This was several days after the
Jan. 19 issue arrived. How do you
figure it?
*****
Speaking of the post office, we
received a press release from the
P.O. headquarters telling about a
rare date stamp the post office had
acquired from British Columbia to
be put in its new postal museum,
May we suggest they put some of
the Standards in the museum. They
certainly seem to qualify as
antiques by the time they are
delivered.
*****
City critics were hitting hard a
few weeks ago at the Ontario
government for not going on
daylight saving time as the United
States did. The critics claimed we
local yokels in the country were to
blame for .preventing this suppos-
edly good move because we didn't
want children going to school in the
dark. The inference was that this
was not a legitimate argument.
What's a little risk to kids
compared to the problems the time
difference causes for the stock
market?
So far we haven't heard a
whisper from these critics, how-
ever, about the fact that in Florida,
one of the southernmost U.S. states
with the longest hours of daylight,
seven children have been killed in
the morning while going to school
in the dark and the state is trying to
find a way to get out of the federal
decision for daylight saving time.
*****
When's it going to hit, seems to
be the feeling of a great 'many
people after the amazing weather
of January. Having March weather
in January is unusual but having a
mild winter for the second year in a
row is really strange. Driving by
the Maitland River at Auburn last
week, the river looked much like a
spring scene .when only a week
earlier it had been completely
frozen over, A lot of people, it
seems, have too many vivid
memories of the big storm of 1971
to be able to relax and enjoy the
good• weather,
THIS WEEK
AGRICULTURAL MEETING
Agriculture Minister Eugene)
Whelan, addressing the federal -
provincial Agriculture Outlook
Conference in Ottawa last week,
said that income prospects for
Canadian farmers have never
looked better, Farm incomes
reached a record level of $2,96
billion in 1973 and will climb even
higher this year, to an estimated
$4.55 billion.
The minister also urged Canada
and other nations to increase their
food production.
Before his meeting with Can-
ada's agricultural experts, Mr.
Whelan said in an iterview that the
federal government will propose a
form of guaranteed annual income
for farmers this year. Farmers and
from Ottawa
government would contribute to a Parliament this year, new propos-
special "stability insurance" fund, als to revise the Bankruptcy Act.
from which farmers would draw
money if their incomes dropped. FINANCE MINISTERS MEET
Federal Finance Minister John
Turner predicted a healthy econ-
omy in 1974 but the energy
situation made firm projections
impossible.
At a meeting of federal -provin-
cial finance ministers, Mr. Turner
rejected provincial requests for
compensation for losses incurred
from indexing.
A committee will be set up to
watch investments in energy
developments, to ensure there are
no great demands on the ecomomy.
TRADE WiTH MEXICO

PG.8. THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEB. 6, 1974,
Mrs.
Walsh dies suddenly in Clinton hospital
MRS, ANNIE WALSH
Annie Elvera Walsh passed away
suddenly in the Clinton Public
Hospital on Tuesday, January 29,
1974 in her 85th year.
She was born January 17, 1890
the daughter of the late Phoebe
McDowell and Edward Taylor of
East Wawanosh.
On September 11, 1912 she
married Albert Edgar Walsh who
predeceased her in 1971. They
resided on the fifth line of East
Wawanosh and also on the third
line of East Wawanosh where they
continued to make their home until
1948 when they retired to Blyth.
She is survived by two daught-
Separate school plans
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
should make certain that adequate
communication channels exist be-
tween the school and the home. In
this way we can insure that our
policies and priorities will accurate-
ly reflect the educational needs
within our jurisdiction.
"A third and final priority is the
area of finances. Our economy
today is in an inflationary period.
This means that we must continue
to budget carefully and to spend
wisely to insure that our tax dollars
produce the most effective results
in each of our schools.
In conclusion, 1 would like to say
that as we plan our objectives for
the coming year we know that we
wtll also be challenged by
unexpected problems. I am confid-
ent that this Board will deal with its
,stated objectives and other contin-
gencies with courage, determina-
tion and responsible action."
Following Mr. Connolly's add-
ress, Howard Shantz of Stratford,
suggested one way of keeping
communication channels open be-
tween the Board and the parents,
would be for the second board
meeting each month to be held in
one of the 19 schools in the two
counties until all the schools are
covered. He suggested that it could
be announced in the church on
Sunday that the board meeting
would be held in the local school on
Monday evening so that any
ratepayer would be able to attend
the meeting.;
This suggestion by Mr. Shantz
will be discussed at the next Board
meeting on Feb. 11.
Joseph Tokar, acting Superint-
endent of Education, informed the
board members that a request had
been received from St. Mary's
School in Goderich for a class
exchange by the 28 Grade 8
students with a similar Grade 8
class in Abbotsford, British Col-
umbia. He said that the pupils had
applied for the exchange to the
Secretary of State and this had
been approved and a grant of
$2,294 as well from the Secretary of
State. He said the pupils individ-
ually will contribute $65 each and
the remaining $1,154 for the trip
will be raised by fund raising
events put on by the students.
There will be no charge to the
Board, which did give approval of
the exchange. The Goderich
students will leave Goderich on
May 18 and return to Goderich on
May 25.
The Board has taken precautions
to ensure that no accidents could
occur at one of its schools similar to
the tragedy that occurred at a
Toronto school when a student was
killed in a snowblower removing
snow from the school playground.
Ted Geoffrey, Zurich, Chatrman
of the Building and Property
Committee, presented an agree-
ment which will be presented to
any contractor removing snow from
a school yard that it be removed
before 8 a,n1. If it must be removed
later than 8 a.m. at the request of
the principal, then either the
principal or the custodian must
supervise the opeation to ensure
the safety of the students in the
yard.
The Board approved either
removal or demolition of a house at
29 Well Street, Stratford, which the
Board recently purchased in
December. It is on property
adjacent to Immaculate Conception
School and will be cleared off the
property to enlarge the school yard,
Mr, Tokar reported the resigna-
tions of two teachers who will be
retiring at the end of the 1974
school year -- Miss Eileen O'Brien
of St. Mary's School in Goderich
and Mrs. Julia Lennon of Aloysius
School in Stratford.
The Board decided that as many
members as wish may attend the
44th annual convention of the
Ontario Separate School Trustees
Association in Toronto on April 4
and 5..An adhoc committee, to be
chaired by Joseph Looby of Dublin,
composed of Vincent Young,
Donald Crowley and the Superin-
tendent of Education, will meet to
decide how many members may
attend the Canadian School Trust-
ees' Association annual meeting to
be held in Vancouver on May 26, 27
and 28, and any other conventions
to be held during the remainder of
the year.
The Board endorsed a resolution
from Simcoe County Board of
Education approving mileage costs
for trustees to be increased but no
set rate be stipulated.

if you drive
after drinking...
...then here are
some things to consider
Let's say you've stayed a little longer than
you expected at a party — long enough to
have three or four drinks, All in good fun.
All in good fellowship, And then you have
to drive home.,
SECTION 234, Criminal Code of Canada
— Impaired driving is an offence even if
the driver's blood alcohol is less than
.08°x.
Penalty, First Offence — Fine of not more
than 5500 or less than S50 or jail for 3
months or both. Second Offence — Jail for
not more than 3 months and not less than
14 days. Subsequent Offences — Jail not
more than 1 year but not less than 3
months,
SECTION 235, — (1) Breath tests for
blood alcohol are compulsory, (21 It is an
offence to refuse to take a breathalyzer
test for blood alcohol when such a test is
demanded by a peace officer,
Penalty — On summary conviction only. A
fine of not more than S1,000 or Tess than
S50 or jail for not more than 6 months, or
both,
SECTION 236, — It is an offence to drive
if driver's blood alcohol exceeds .08%.
Penalty — Same as for Sec. 235.
And there's more
It isn't just the appearance before the
judge that's humiliating. You have been
booked on a charge under the criminal
code and you will be treated like a
criminal.
After the police, lawyers and judge are
through with you the provincial govern
ment will review your right to hold a
driver's licence. Even if you have never
had a parking ticket you could end up
having your licence suspended for a
month , , , or three months ... or even
indefinitely.
When your insurance company hears
about it, your ratt.: will soar until you can
prove that you are a good risk again. It
could take years. And if you injure or kill
someone while impaired, your liability
coverage is void.
YoUr name will also probably appear in
the newspaper for all your friends and
business associates to see.
Alcohol is involved in approximately
half of the 5,000 traffic deaths in Canada
each year.
The Social Drinker is one of the leading
causes of automobile, accidents.
HOW TO
PREVENT IMPAIRMENT
Coffee will 1101 work. Nor will a jog
around the Klock or a cold shower.
They will only make you wide awal,e,
tired or cold — not sober.
Only TIME will work.
It takes more than an hour to elimin—
ate each 12 ounces of beer or"ounce
and a halt of spirits or three ounces of
non•fortifiecl wine.
If you MUST drive, then adopt the
Canada Safety Council rule of thumb:
HAVE LESS THAN ONE DRINK
PER HOUR.

Ducks Unlimited (Canada)
BIRD SITTERS — In some 'species of waterfowl,
such as lesser scaup and Canada geese, two or
more broods may congregate under the super-
vision of one or more hens (in the case of ducks)
or sets of parents (in the case of geese), With
Canada geese this "creche" formation most
commonly occurs under conditions of high nesting
density, After the "creche" is formed, the domi-
nant parents, as well as some of the goslings,
will drive off the other parents which thereby
lose their broods.

ANSWER:
The Nursing Diploma granted upon completion of the two year program enables the graduates to

Hardly at all. Conestoga College will process the applications, but the chairman of each Nursing
Division will choose the candidates. Since our Division chairmen are the former directors of the
Hospital Schools of Nursing, their knowledge and experience will continue to guide the program.
QUESTION:
Will the nursing students continue to have as much nursing experience in hospitals as they did
prior to the transfer to the College?
ANSWER:
Yes, detinitely..Since clinical experience is a vital part of the Conestoga Collcgc Nursing Diploma
Program the nursing students will have as much and if possible more nursing experience in the
hospitals and community health agencies than they did before.
QUESTION:
Have the locations where nursing students take their classes and clinical experiences changed?

Losing our hockey grip
Howie Meeker, hockey's instant expert has won a good many friends
and a fair few enemies in the past couple of years,
Howie has revolutionized the art of colour commentary on NHL
hockey broadcasts with his perceptive analysis and his knack of not
saying what was expected of him, He doesn't pull punches and some
like him for it and others hate him. Either way, it's been good for
hockey.
Meeker has extended his expertise into other areas including hockey
schools and a televised hockey program for youngsters in which he
teaches the proper way to learn the fundamentals of the game,
In this month's issue of Maclean's magazine Meeker predicts a dark
future for Canadian hockey. He predicts, among other things that the
U.S. will soon surpass Canada in hockey skills, Americans are already,
he says, ahead of us in the 9-12 age group. Now that the U.S. colleges
and minor leagues have adopted Canadian rules, he says, it is only a
matter of a few years before the Yanks catch up and then begin to
dominate the game the same way they already dominate baseball,
football and basketball.
One of the reasons for this, Meeker says, is that Canadian coaches
have a fair idea of how the game should be played from watching
televised hockey, but very few know how to teach the fundamentals.
He says that our coaches are trying to teach youngsters positional play
and fancy tricks when the kids just aren't capable of thinking beyond
the simple fact of how to shoot and carry the puck,
"The average boy is not teachable until skating, puck handling and
passing become as natural as breathing and walking," he says, "We
must teach skills only from age eight to 12,
To do this, he says, we need a national hockey philosophy and a
National Sports C::lege to train qualified coaches capable of teaching
the basics to kids, not only in hockey but in all sports.
Meeker also knocks the trend in minor hockey to cut out all the
players who don't show early promise. It eliminates all future for
late -bloomers. It also means that hockey, except for a few
professionals, is a kid's game. That's why in recent years in the West,
a one-time hotbed of hockey, many youngsters have turned to curling,
a game they can play their whole life rather than just as kids.
Just how smart are we Canadians anyway?

R.C.schcol board
chairman looks ahead
BY WILMA OKE
At a meeting of the Huron -Perth
County Roman Catholic Separate
School Board in Seaforth Jan. 25,
Michael Connolly, RR 3, Kippen,
appointed chairman of the Board
on Jan. 7, presented his inaugural
address as follows:
"The Huron -Perth Separate
School Board is beginning its sixth
year of operation. Over the past
five years this Board has worked
conscientiously to provide the best
possible educational opportunities
for the children entrusted to its
care.
"We have made significant
progress in the area of school
program. We have provided
learning materials and technical
hardware to assist in the individ-
ualization of instruction. We have
expanded our special education
services to meet the needs of
exceptional children. As well, we
have looked at our school buildings
and we have completed additions to
schools and renovated others to
update them in line with current
needs.
"The Board is now beginning a
new year of operation. Each
member of this Board has accepted
new committee responsibilities.
Each member will be faced with
new challenges. I know that each of
you will deal with these challenges
with serious deliberation and
responsible action. As chairman of
this Board 1 would like to set forth
some priorities to which we should
address ourselves during the
coming year.
"Our first objective has to focus
on the evaluation of the programs
in our schools with particular
attention to our Religious Educa-
tion Program. Each child entrusted
to our care is a unique and
marvellous being. Therefore; we
must continually work at program
development to insure that each
child is being provided with the
best opportunity to develop to the
fullness of his or her potential. In
addition to existing programs, this
Board will take action to implement
pilot programs in Family Life
Instruction.
• "With reference to programs, I
will be asking the administrative
staff to submit a full report on the
progress of the programs being
conducted in each school. In this
way we can evalute our current
• is and set forth new priorities.
\ second priority is the area of
communication channels within our
total organization. We must insure
that there is an adequate two-way
communication channel between
this Board and the teachers and
parents in our two -county jurisdic-
tion. As well, I feel this Board

The income tax help system
and howto make itworkforyou.
As you know by now, we changed a lot of things last
year. We gave you a new return, a new Guide, several new
deductions and a few new rules. And quite honestly, we were
more than a little concerned about your reaction to it all.
(And very, very interested in your opinions.)
Well, now that we've had time to really look back at it
and assess it honestly, it appears that most taxpayers did
not seem to find it too difficult. The error rate did not ac-
celerate greatly or change drastically from former years.
Generally, most taxpayers seemed to handle their new
returns fairly well.
However, Income Tax will never be the easiest or most
enjoyable thing in anyone's life. And it will always present
problems in some areas, for some people. That's expected
and understandable.
So. What we want to do now is really work on those
problem areas. And the best way to do that is to work with
you, individually, on whatever part of Income Tax that causes
you difficulty.
And that's what April Aid is all about. It's a help system
and its primary objective is to ensure that whenever or
whatever you need help with, you can get it. And know how
to get it.
INCOME And this is how it
GUM works:
First. Your Guide is always the
best answer when you have a problem.
Read it. Follow it. It not only gives explana-
tions, but In many cases, examples of just
how to figure something out.
Second. If you're` still confused or something just
doesn't seem to work, phone. The number of your
own District Taxation Office is below and at the
end of that number there are people whose only job is to help
taxpayers with problems, by telephone. And on Mondays and
Tuesdays phone lines are open 'til 6 p.m. So don't hesitate.
If you live outside the office area, call the Operator and
ask for Zenith 0-4000. She will automatically connect you to
your. own District Taxation Office. Remember, all calls are
free, all questions are answered, and if you have queries, we
want you to call.
DROP Third. Some people prefer to talk things over in
'N person. If you're one of them and have problems,
drop by for free help. Anytime. The address of your
District Taxation Office is below.
Fourth. Write. To the addrdss below. Explain your
as possible and include all in -
,'r �}'� format on. (And yoblem as our return address, please.) In .
return, we'll answer all letters as quickly and clearly as
possible. Remember— if you need help, it's there. (And free).
And all you have to do is ask,
April Aid.
The Income Tax help system.
Let's make it work for you.

"A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME,,,"
by Bill Smiley
What's in a name? Quite .a bit, if
you're going to be stuck with it for
the rest of your life,
When the young people were
i�
tr n to think of
a name
fo
trying r m
Y
new grandson, 1 started pondering
on this whole business of Christian
monikers,
Naming of children seems to go
in cycles, And the names in one
generation seem either ugly or
affected to the people of the next
generation.
There was a time when girls
were quite happy to be called Pearl
or Ruby, Mabel or Myrtle or Elsie.
If a girl were given a name like that
today, she'd run away from home
at the age of five.
The same period produced boys'
names like Elmer, Horace, Marvin,
not to mention those two great
poets, one Greek, one Latin:
Homer and Virgil.
That was known as the bad
period to be tagged. Before that
was the romantic period. In my
another's family, the boys were
dubbed things like Drayton,
Emerson, Lionel, Ivan. On my
wife's sick, her mother was Sophia,
and her mother's sisters were
Charlotte and Esther.
Those ladies wound up as
Sophie, Lottie and Accy, but the
damage was done. My wife's
mother named her Ivy and her
sister iris, but they didn't turn out
to be a couple of clinging vines. My
wife hates her name so I call her
Suse, which seems to suit her.
My own mother was on the
ebb -tide of the romantic period, but
she did name her daughters
Florence and Norma. They wound
up as Floss and The Brat, so it
wasn't too bad.
With the boys' names, my ma
wasn't too bad, but my brothers are
Byron Arnott Keith and Donald
Allan Blake, and I'm William
Bryant Thomson.
Not too awful, really, but my
brothers emerged as Blake and
Arnott. I have been called Billy,
Bill, Willie and Will, among other
things, but have never been known
as William, except in legal
documents,
i was the lucky one. 1 grew up in
an age of Jacks and Bobs and Bills
and Joes and Toms, A Gordon was
Suspect, and a Honer was hooted novel. Chen (pronounced Shen)
aut of the gang, unless he could means in Chinese "first-born",
find a nick -name like Stints or Piggy Her mother's face didn't fall
or Greasebali or some such more than a foot. My bloodpress-
affectionate nomenclature, ure went up only twenty points.
In my group, there was a Harold, However, he said smilingly, it's
and Arnold and a Clayton. They kinda cute when you get used to it.
were tolerated because they Russian, Chinese, and his fast
name is Sieber, which is German.
became Smokey Oakes, Goon
(meson and Pappy Warren. A real conglomerate,
After my generation, a new wave As soon as he's up to mine, I'm
of snobbery set in, as women going to call him Kneecap,
started calling their kids after
heroes in the Ladies Home Journal
and British novels.
There sprouted a whole crop of
Peters and Stevens and Michaels
and Jeffreys and Christophers and
Marks
and
Matthews
and Nichol-
ases and Davids and Tans. There
wasn't a George or a John in the
lot.
And the girls got it too. There
were Samanthas and Natalies and
Sonyas and Patrices and Lises and
Pamelas and Elizabeth Janes and
Rhondas and Deborahs,
My God, nvere there Dcborahs! 1
have five of them this year in a
class with twelve girls in it.
Finding a girl called Mary these
days is just as tough as finding a
boy called John.
Oh, I'm not blaming the parents
all that much. It's no joke, choosing
a name. We were going to call our
first-born Judy, because it was to
be a girl. it didn't have the right
plumbing, so we named it Hugh,
after a Sir Hugh Smiley in Ireland.
And do you know, the old skinflint
didn't even put our boy in his will?
Second time around, we took no
chances. The kid was to be called
Kim, which would suit either sex,
We thought it was different, The
only Kim around was Kini Novak.
A dozen years later, there was Kim
on every street -corner.
Well, like all grandparents, not
wanting to interfere, just trying to
be helpful, we tried to ram a name
clown my daughter's throat for her
infant,
But most of the good ones were
gone. In her own family connect-
ion, there are already: a Peter and
a Paul; a David and a Hugh; a
Steven and a Patrick; a Matthew
and a Darcy. All the good ones
were gobbled up.
We suggested Geoffrey and
Mark and Michael and others, and
at each, she'd say, "Echhh, that
reminds me of..."
The kid was a week old. i was
getting desperate. I asked my
students to help me. They really
tried. They came up with Charley
and Cool -hand Luke and Jim and
Oscar. Big help.
Well, 1 know the suspense is
killing you, so I'll tell. They named
the poor little kid Nicove Chen,
Nicove (pronounced Kneecove)
is a character in a Dostoievski

Behind the Scenes...
Exhilerating excercise.
BY KEiTI-1 ROULSTON college. All through high school
We went down to the public physical education classes were
school gym the other night to take a accepted and even enjoyed by most
few pictures of local adults in a students. But once they reached
recreation class. Things looked like college, nearly every student in the
so much fun, we joined in for a class was trying to find some
while. excuse to get an exemption from
No doubt the aches and pains of the first year compulsory physical
some of those taking part a few education class. Adults, you see,
days later would make them just don't waste their time with
wonder why they'd taken part, but physical activity in, our country.
I'II bet that night they had a lot of Using the brain is admired. Using
fun, brawn is frowned on.
For myself, 1 experienced a
feeling 1 hadn't felt in some years,
the sort of warm exilcrating feeling
that swells through you after
honest physical exertion. It's a
feeling that few Canadians have
felt recently, including yours truly.
We are a lazy nation. We are a
bunch of slobs when it comes to
physical fitness. Compared to just
about any other nation in the world,
we are fat, flabby and lethargic.
Why?
Certainly the usual scapegoat,
the government, cannot take all the
blame. In recent years the federal
government has recognized the
problem and has spent a good deal
of money in trying to convince
Canadians that, for their own good,
they should get more exercise.
Canadians have resisted manfully.
Take a look at just about any
recreation program anywhere and
you'll sec it is aimed almost totally
at youngsters. Sports for kids if
fine; sports for adults is somehow
frowned upon unless the adult is
good enough to be a star.
I remember a vivid illustration of
the kind of negative attitude
towards adult athletics back in
The sad thing about this
ridiculous attitude is that mental
sharpness is improved by physical
activity. For the person who earns a
living with his head, physical
exertion can be a relief from tough
mental activity and can put the rest
of the body in better physical
condition making it, and the brain,
more efficient.
Today health costs are soaring.
More and more money is being
spent on health clinics, hospitals
and health insurance. There seems
to be no end to the cost spiral. How
much could we reduce the problem,
though, if we all adopted a simple
program of physical activity to keep
us in good physical shape.
i admire the people taking part in
the recreation program every week
at the school gym and i admire
those who took the time to organize
the event...not that these people
need praise from others. They're
getting all the reward they need
every week when they feel the
exhileration of taking part.
It's time we had more programs
like this and more people like these
to take part.
