Huron County Board of Education Mr. McCaul said Tuesday that;;;; _ _ _ _, _ blast at Dr, r.-__,_ following reading the story of council's complaints during the summer he had taken Mr. McVcan to the site in early September and had been promis- ed action in a letter on Sept. 7. The letter, he said, promised any ponding of sewerage overflow would be fenced off and the health unit would be notified by; the school principal. "They never called," he said. "We had to find the trouble ourselves." Mr. McCaul said the unit was called in October as the result of a letter sent by the village council to the Ontario Ministry of Health. The letter had been sent by the council following what it felt was insufficient concern from Mr.` Cochrane. Dr. Mills, said Mr. McCaul, had replied to the Ministry stating that the school board had agreed to take proper action. A copy of the letter, he said, was sent to Mr. Cochrane. In December' ' Mr, McCaul inspected the septic tank at the school and discovered a 50 -foot strip of "semi -frozen sewage", from the leaking tank. A letter was sent to Mr. McVean on Dec. 19, Mr, McCaul said; ordering immediate fencing'off of the area and pumping of the septic tank to stop overflow until further notice, "They pumped it out once and let it run again," Mr. McCaul said. He said it got to the point that the inspectors visited the school every couple of days to see what was going on. School board officials meeting:;: with village council last week indicated the tank was being pumped out regularly with considerable expence. They said this expence was corning out of the county budget, not the school >; budget. A source from within the school said, however, that the cost of pumping is coming out of the school budget. The whole problem may helviii village council in its atempts to speed up the sanitary sewer;;;:; project for the village. Officials ;Mills, Huron County Medical Officer of Health and officials of ':. Dr. Mills' office fired a volley back. The issue came to a head when Dr. Mills issued an order to the school board that the present septic tank system be sealed off and used only as a holding tank to be pumped out regularly. He further ordered that plans for replacing the present system be prepared and shown to his department within 60 days. The order was issued Feb. 5 after Dr. Mills had ordered continuous pumping of the tank on Feb. 4 by telephone in a conversation with Robert McVcan, the school board's plant superintendent. Mr. Cochrane complained that the MOH had never talked to him about the problem and had dealt with Mr. McVean. Jim McCaul of :the Huron County Health Unit counter -charged that the health tinit has tried to co-operate but "they (the board) haven't". "It seems rather strange that Mr. Cochrane chose this point to make such an outburst...if he doesn't know what his superin- tnedents arc doing that's his problem, not ours." Mr. McCaul said the overflow problem at the school had never been reported to the health unit until the unit found out about the problem through a story in The Standard last summer quoting complaints from Village Council. The same type of complaints were published in the paper nearly a year earlier in Nov. 1972. Complaints from at least some parents in the village had been directed to both the school board and the health unit previously after the septic tank at the school overflowed at least three years ago.

Th731yth VOLUME 84 • NO. 07 WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1974. Area members of Parliament held a 5 -hour meeting with representatives of Huron. County farm organization In Clinton on Saturday. The local members discussed a wide range of topics. They are [left to right] Jack Riddell, M.P.P. for Huron, Murray Gaunt, M.P.P., for Huron -Bruce and Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron. Also at the head table is Doug Fortune, president of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. --staff photo. Local M.P.s asked to aid in getting Hydro line study Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron and M.P.P.s Murray Gaunt and Jack Riddell were asked Saturday to use their influence to try to get an independent study undertaken to locate transmission lines for Hydro on poor farming land wherever possible. Mason Bailey, Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture director for Northwest Huron told the Parlia- mentarians at the annual Member of Parliament dinner sponsored by the Huron Federation of Agricult- ure that the power corridor running from Douglas Point to Seaforth is going over some of the best farm land in the area and said not enough research has gone into finding a better route over poor farmland. "What I would like to see," he said, "is a comprehensive study of all proposed Hydro routes with conservation of farmland in mind." Mr. Gaunt said he felt Hydro comes into an arca and gives a very low priority to agriculture. He said he thought the utility should have an agricultural department to advise its negotiators and planners. At present, he says, Hydro has no, agricultural expertise. Mr. Bailey said it has become evident that Hydro itself doesn't know all the effects of the extremely high voltage lines to be Arun through the country. He said ,the experts hired by the farmers on ;the route of the line could find no 70 attend meeting to form Senior Club About 70 senior citizens of the community met in the Memorial Hall at noon on February 6 for a pot luck dinner followed by an organization business meeting. Following the dinner Mrs. G. McClinchey led in a sing -song of well known songs. Three guests from Brussels were East Wawanosh township coun- cil has joined the group of councils which will meet with the Blyth Lions Club to discuss financial aid for the swimming pool project undertaken by the Lions. Morris township and Blyth council had earlier announced their willingness to take part in such a meeting, The East Wawanosh 'council made the decision during a meeting in Bclgravc Community Centre on Feb, 6. Council voted at the same meeting to donate $50 each to the Bclgravc-Blyth-Brussels school fair and to the Huron County Plow - The officers elected arc as follows: Chaplain, Mr. Carson; President, Mrs. K. Webster; First Vice -President, Del Philp; Alter- nate, Russel Wilson; Secretary, Mrs. V. Haines; assistant, Miss H. Petts; Treasurer, Floyd Buehlow; Program Committee, Mrs. G. McClinchey, convenor, Mrs. Bueh- low, Mrs. A. Siertsema, Mrs. L. Cronyn; Social Committee, Mrs, R. Easom, convenor, Mrs. R. McDon- ald, Mrs. E. Wright, Mrs. C. Souch; Transportation, Howard Campbell, Wm. Carter, Keith Webster; Friendship and Visiting, Mrs. T. Cronin, Mrs. McNichol; Pianist, Mrs. McDougall, Mrs. Watt and Mrs. Philp; and Representative Recreation Comm- ittee, Keith Webster. It was moved and passed that a membership fee of $1.00 per member be paid and that those who are interested bring a slip with a suggested name for the club to the next meeting' so that they may choose a name. After the completion of business Mrs. Webster thanked the guests and those who had helped in any way with the project and the meeting adjourned. The next meeting will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Feb, 27. Over 50 senior citizens paid their dues at.. the end of the meeting, comparable line on the whole continent. He said the government seems to have little inclination to promote other industry in Huron County and is hurting the potential for agriculture by the routing of its lines over good farmland. Mr. Gaunt said he understood it would cost Hydro an extra $4 million in construction costs to build on another route over poorer farm land. Mr. Riddell felt that if Hydro could spend $17 million on an office building in Toronto it could spend an extra $4 million for a route that would save precious farm land. He said others in the country are concerned not only with the power line, but with the problem of radio -active wastes produced by atomic power plants. Regional governmentalso be- came a topic for discussion through a brief from Jim Williamson, president of the Huron County Pork Producers. William Elston, Ward- en of Huron county and Reeve of Morris township remarked that there were possibly too many members on county council, but that the county did not need regional government. He said the county had no really pressing problems that required wholesale government reforms. Reeve Allan Campbell of Mc- Killop, chairman of the County Development committee pledged "as long as I can fight there won't be regional government in Huron". Five sentenced on drug charges Five Blyth area residents were sentenced Friday in court in Goderich for growing marijuana without a licence. The five, Wes Munce, 33; his wife, Joanne, 17; Harvey Bearing- er, 27; Allan Nicholl, 20 and Sheila Ritter, 17 were all given two years probation after they were found guilty of the charge. In addition Mr, Bearinger and Mr. Munce were given six months sentences to the Ontario Reforma- tory and Allan Nicholl was given three months. Mrs. Munce and Miss Ritter received .500 fines. PG.2. TUE BLYTH STANDARD, FEB. 13, 1974. Editorials More study needed So far, the fight raging over the routing of the Douglas -Point to Seaforth power corridor has caused Bole rucus in the urban centres of the county, but it's about time it did. Whether we know it or nut. Hydro is slowly destroying the livelihood of many people in this area, both rural and urban. The act is not premeditated, but it is happening. Ontario Hydro, with its plans for one power corridor now and possibly more in the future to serve the expanded Douglas Point project and possibly another near Goderich, is eating away at the amount of good farmland in the county. and agriculture, remember, is the industry that keeps the economy of Huron county going. The Ontario Hydro planners don't seem to give a darn about agriculture when they draw their straight lines on a map to build the power lines. They don't seem to notice or care when the line goes right through some of the best farmland in the province and gobbles up hundreds of acres of land. They're only interested in costs and the cheapest way to build the line is on good, level farmland. The cheapest way in the shortrun, however, is not always the cheapest way in the long run. We cannot keep using up farmland for power lines and pipelines and shopping centres and superhighways for long before we will be facing food shortages and rising costs for food. Every year we use up hundreds of thousands of farmland for such projects and we're bound to run out. Our so-called planners such as those for Ontario Hydro, don't seem to be able to see beyond the end of their noses. ..The energy swap Mitchell Sharp, Canada's External Affairs minister seems to have' straightened things out with William Simon, U.S. Energy chief over Canada's export tax on oil but no doubt there is still some resentment in the united States. - The resentment was fanned by the statements in the past couple of weeks by several top US. spokesmen including the governor of Florida that Canada was taking advantage of the U.S. in its time of need by gouging on oil prices. The governor, of course, doesn't know much about the Canadian situation or he wouldn't have been so hasty in his criticism, at least he wouldn't if he was fair. It must be hard for people outside the country to realize that Canada is both an exporter and an importer of oil. While we export western oil to the U.S., we import oil for the eastern market from South America and the Middle East. If the governor, and no doubt many Americans, had their way, Canada would still be shipping oil southward at the old price. The problem is, we would be importing oil at the inflated rate the rest of the world is charging. We would then be dropping millions of dollars a day in foreign exchange in order to subsidize the United States. We may he good neighbours, but we can hardly enpect to give away cheap oil and replace it with expensive. Mr. Simons, at least, seems to understand this. A bum rap Canadian farm leaders have felt in the past year that they've been hard done by in all the publicity over high food costs. There seems to be a good deal of evidence to prove them right. Last week, for instance, the nation's press and radio and television heralded the news that the cost of living had gone upo again and that grocery prices made up a good part of the increase. Only one source (C.13.C. Radio) that we heard, however, noted that the biggest part of the increase was due to the jump in sugar prices (and imported product) and in packaging. A short time hefore that the annual farm outlook conference was held in Ottawa and Dr. P.J. '!'hair of the University of Saskatchewan's agricultural economics branch warned that soaring costs will bring financial ruin to many farmers when the price of their produce drops, as it most certainly will. While some found prices have gone up to 50 per cent, some farm input costs have risen 100 per cent and more. The cost price squeeze is more serious than ever. Yet Mr. Thair's comments didn't make much news and usually were buried far back in the paper. Meanwhile Beryl Plumptree was making headlines of the front-page variety when she lowered the boom on the egg marketing board which she said was artificially inflating the price of eggs. She pointed out that the cost of eggs had risen 52 per cent. She didn't point out that a year ago egg prices were so bad farmers were leaving the business in great numbers. And then there's the fact that the government is supporting the Canadian Consumers Association to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars a year which the association is using to fight marketing boards which are about the only hope farmers have for a better income. Who can blame farmers if they think they have a beef? • THE BLYTH STANDARD: KEITH t; JILL ROULSTON; Co -Publishers Published every Wednesday at Queen St. , Blyth, Ontario a Subscription rates (in advance) Outside Canada $7.00 Canada $O, 00 Single copies: 15 cents each Author zed as second class mail by Canada Post Office. Registration Number 1319. Box 10, Blyth, Ontario Telephone 523-9646 From My Window Too few bathrooms BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER The topic of this discourse is bathrooms. something of which you can never have too many I've learned. The present Keller abode is equipped with two of these contraptions. one a four -piece collection on the first floor and the other a two-piece helpmate on the second floor. The family consists of five persons - two females (one young and me) and three males, one very young, one newly adult and one oldster. One would assume that five people could satisfactorily schedule the time for two bathrooms so that everyone's needs could be met, Not so. And the crux of the problem seems to be with the youngest female in the household, our teenaged daughter. For years I've been hearing stories of what it is like to have a teenaged daughter • bathroom - wise. And so we decided to head -off the problem. We decided to position a bathroom next to her bedroom and to turn over that bathroom almost exclusively to her. So it is that our daughter has taken possession of the bathroom on the second floor. There is a sink and a vanity where she can primp and preen until the cows come home. But alas, that bathroom has no bathtub or shower...and therein is the bind. There is a theory now in our modest home that our teenaged girl must be one of the world's rare people who can manage to tic up two bathrooms at one time. It is true. If you find her situated in one bathroom, you usually arrive at the door of the other one just as she slams it in your face. She's like a streak of lightening between bathrooms...and it is wearing on the nerves of some male members of the household. Occasionally, there is a crisis situation of a most delicate type. Suffice it to say that when the time is right, there is no way this call of nature can be avoided. Just what does one do when one cannot find an empty bathroom? That was the dilemma today... only we had two rushing emergenc- ies at the same time, a severe time limit and no available facilities., What's the solution? Suggestion was put forth by the head of the house that the family explore once more the advantages of a pail by the furnace...and the two•holer in the backyard. 1 remember those and I'm sure most of you do too. The pail was the winter -time convenience and the little house behind the rose bush was the summer -time hideout. Occasionally there was a rush on these facilities as well, but most generally there was not, simply because there was no tie-up for washing panti-hose and tweezing eye -brows and shaving underarms, They were used solely for daily What others say WELL -WHY NOT? (The Mount Forest Confederate) Now that Mr. Sharp. Really he's something else again. You can just bet he doesn't even believe there's a Santa Claus, Away down in the Caribbean Sea there are two groups of sun -dren- ched islands • the Turks and the Caicos, containing a population of about 6,000 people. At present they are colonies of Great Britain, but the islanders aren't very happy about that. So, all on their own they have taken a vote and without hesitation have agreed they should politely ask old Mother England to stay home and worry about her energy crisis and her miners' strike. However, the Turks (they're not Turkish Turks; they are the Turks from Turks island) and the Caicians (if that's the way to say it) realize their homelands are a bit small for going it alone, so they have also agreed to invite themselves into Canadian confederation. Max Saltsman, MP for Waterloo, and an imaginative man if ever there was one, has been down to the islands and he thinks it would be just dandy to have the Turks and the Caicos in our fair Dominion. He suggests they should become a part of the province of Nova Scotia, But Mr. Sharp, who is a wee bit more in the driver's seat than Mr, Saltsman, got out his little old dipper and threw cold water on the whole idea. He didn't say why he was so chilly about the whole idea - he simply didn't like it. Now what's so bad about Canada having its own place in the sun? Think of the hundreds of thousands of Canadians who go to the southern States every winter. If those islands were a part of Canada the money the travellers spend, which must surely mount to a small fortune, would be contained within our own economy, At present the islands arc a bit difficult to reach, for you must fly first to Miami, then on to Haiti, stay overnight and catch a flight to Grand Turk the following day. if, however, the islands joined Canada it is not hard to imagine how long it would take Air Canada to provide something more convenient, Perhaps Mr. Sharp is. worried meditations...and between•time brush•ups...and they offered soli- tude and peace of an unusally deep and meaningful kind. I'm certain that many ecological buffs would be concerned is such primitive privies would turn up around the countryside in too great numbers. There are those, of course, who would argue that an outdoor toilet is still less hazardous to the environment than improperly installed plumbing, but few would dispute that indoor plumbing adequately piped and vented, is the most desirable. I guess to avoid those agonizing lineups at our house, we're going to have to find a more modern solution than the ones suggested by my husband, but the thought of undisturbed reading cubicles rests heavily on my mind. Surely modern bathrooms must be improved in design to give this time-honored measure of relaxation to all. Maybe the answer isn't more fixtures, but rather individual rooms for special purposes. Maybe the day of twofold and three -fold use bathrooms is coming to a not -a -minute -too -soon end. Maybe what we require is not another sink or another toilet or another tub but a relocation of the present apparatus...a more spread - out approach. Expensive? Perhaps. But who can put a price on solitude? about adding the population of the islands to our unemployment list, but after all, what's another 6,000, We already have more than 500 thousand Canadians drawing from the pogey so the extras would scarcely be felt. And in any case very few of those 6,000 would be unemployed, The tourist industry would soak up every available Turk and Caician for years to come. Now, mind you, Canadians wouldn't be able to drive to the islands in their own cars - but with the price of gasoline being what it is that's not really a drawback. You know, with all the talk of separation in Quebec • with the West about ready to pull out - with B.C. on the verge of becoming independent Barretland - isn't it nice to know that some people really think Canada would be just dandy for a ' homeland, Sort of cheers you up on a cold winter morning. Come on Mitch, Loosen up a bit. Why don't you slip on down there and sit under a palm tree for a while with a cool rum putsch in one hand and a grass -skirted gal in the other? You might get to like the whole thing. Hallett Central School News MiLK FILM On Wednesday, Jan. 30 at Hullett Central School, there were two interesting guests, Mr, G.

SUNDAY, FEB.17 HEAR BLIND SPEAKER White says controls needed The Ontario Government may have to tighten its control of commercial developments such as new shopping centres, unless more municipalities adopt their own land -use controls, Treasurer John White warned last week. Speaking to the annual confer- ence of the Ontario Association of Rural Municipalities. Mr. White criticized developers "who thwart the plans and intentions of town councils by building shopping centres just outside town boundar- ies. "To that breed of developer it doesn't seem to matter that his new shopping centre will distort the orderly growth and pervert the well -made plans of the town where his potential customers live. "He's all right, Jack - he's got his building permit...from a town- ship that doesn't realize or doesn.'t care what his cluster of stores will do to the neighbouring urban community." The Treasurer said the practice may have to be stopped by giving the province more power through an amendment to The Planning Act. He said he is reluctant to sec the province take such a step because such land use should be controlled by each municipality. Additional provincial control may be necess- ary, however, if local controls are not adopted in municipalities where undesirable development is likely to occur. As a stopgap measure, the province has been imposing minist- erial orders that freeze land use in specified areas to prevent develop- ers from carrying out their plans. But Ministerial orders are not the best solution "because the provin- cial government is remote from the action, and a ministerial order sometimes is too late. "By the time we hear about a developer's proposal, he has his permit and we can't stop him from building." He said some shopping centre developments are being permitted or even encouraged by "short- sighted people who cannot or will not see that they are creating a pattern of waste and chaos that may plaque the whole community for generations to come." JERRY STEPHENSON OF EMMANUEL BIBLE COLLEGE SINGING AND SPEAKING WESTFIELD FELLOWSHIP HOUR - 2 P.M. HURON MEN'S CHAPEL, AUBURN - 8 P.M. Evil Prevails When Good Men Do Nothing News from College Three years ago, Mr. , John Brown, a designer of international recognition, became Design Coord- inator at Conestoga College, Seventy-five awards and $20,000 in prize money later, Mr. Brown's success is remarkable! Conestoga Design students have responded to this dynamic and gifted man by capturing all top awards in nearly every Canadian design compet- ition. In 1972, $15,500 went to Conestoga design students in National' Design Canada Scholar. ships - one fifth of the national total! Letters on file from civic, industrial and radio/television con- cerns extol! the quality of the Conestoga designs which won top honours and publication! Of all Canadian college and university design teams, Mr. Brown's is recognized as the best! An innovative teacher, his rapport with his students drives them from one achievement to the next. "I'm constantly amazed at the intensity of their desire to achieve. Week- ends, holidays, and even Christmas Day, students ask for passes to go in to the Design Centre and work on their projects." And they succeed! Working together, but competitively, con- stantly exposed to the demands of ,clients and the criticisms of Conestoga professional designers Mr, Brown, brings in for just that purpose, students produce - successfully, At, the recent Graphic Arts Show in Toronto, each exhibiting Conestoga 'student received half a dozen job offers! Competition to study with Mr. Brown is keen. A graphic designer gave up his business to come and study under Mr. Brown, A policeman resigned from the force and a bank teller left her position to join Mr. Brown's post secondary students. Mr. Brown's renown is such that last September the whole first year of another college design course chose to transfer to Conestoga! Design Fundamentals, Drawing, Painting, Photography, Graphics - first year students are plunged directly into the practice of all aspects of design. By the third year, when they must concentrate on the production of a portfolio for employment purposes, the stud- ents are already professionals. Such is the demand for their talents that some are invited away long before graduation. Certainly the growing improvement in the field of design in Canada is due in large measure to the efforts of John Brown, and Conestoga College. 1... ....... -.... -.... �..

Charges are pending, On Thursday, Feb. 7, James M. Bardawill of London was involved in a single truck accident on Highway 4 south of Huron Road 16. There were no injuries, and damages were estimated at $1200. On Sunday, Feb. 10, Henry P.

Stone of Listowel was involved in a single car accident on Highway 86, east of the junction of Huron Road 12. Damages were minor and there were no injuries, Mr. McCallum said Mr, Stewart was unable to meet with the delegation last week but officials from his department accepted the brief and it was well received. He said it was going to be quite a battle, but the group hoped to convince the resource ministers that more farmland should not be gobbled up by power lines. He pointed out that there arc only 22 million acres of farmland and this is quickly being used up at a rate that would mean it would all be gone within 40 years, He said the route of the power lines east of Wingham is expected to be announced on Feb. 22. Upwards of 100 persons attended the monthly meeting of the Federation, the first of a planned rotation of meetings to various parts of the county in hopes of involving more of the nearly 2000. members of the Federation in the county. The Douglas Point nuclear station also came in for some criticism in connection. with the problem of acquiring farm labour. It was pointed out that a newly -graduated teacher with a B.A. would receive $7300 while many men working at Douglas Point arc getting from $10,000 to $20,000 a year with grade eight education. The station was making it even harder for farmers to get good help at a price they could afford to pay, some farmers said, A resolution was passed asking the provincial government to help in keeping young farm people on the farm instead of having them leave and farmers then try to attract and train, non-farm people for farm labour. Secretary-fielclman Bill Crawford warned members to beware of door-to-door salesmen and told them to compare what these salesmen offer to services available locally, He said an insurance company is currently operating in the area and although the policy offered seems to he a good one, the premiums arc much more expen- sive than those of regular compan- ies. Bill Pullen heads Morris Federation of Agriculture The Morris township Federation • of Agriculture held its annual meeting in the Belgrave Commun- ity Hall on Feb. 12. A new constitution was drawn up by the executive and was approved by the members. Doug Fortune, the president of the Huron County Federation explained the program of the county unit and conducted the election for the new executive. Bill Pullen of Blyth was elected as president, Charley Higgins of RR 5, Brussels was returned as secretary -treasurer and Bill Rob- ertson of RR 2, Bluevale and Emerson Mitchell of RR 3, Walton were elected as executive members for respectively the north and south part of the township. John Gaunt' of Whitechurch, winner of a Nuffield scholarship in 1973 showed slides of the United Kingdom. Many of the members present saw for the first time colour pictures of the land their ancestors came from. The guest speaker was the well-known Mr. Bruce McCall, manager of the Brussels stock- yards. The best thing to happen to the Ontario and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said Mr. McCall, was the emergence of the Farriers Union. It showed the Federation leadership that more was expected of them than they. did. The result is a very effective organization. Canada is respected the world over, he said, for their religious and moral values, as well as for their natural resources. it is a good thing that the Federation is doing so much to preserve the land resources we have now. The Canadian Federation of Agriculture keeps an eye on the welfare of all Canadian people. Each one has to do their part in protecting our .resources and promote good relationship between provincial and federal governments, between provinces and between Canada and the U.S.A. The Morris Township Federation has at prosent 175 individual service members.

Sports Talk Eddie does more than entertain Those who like neat hockey, who adore the perfect pass, the solid positional play and precise skating may not applaud the return of Eddie "The Entertainer" Shack to the Maple Leafs this year, but the other 99 per cent of us are plenty happy. Hockey critics who think everything should be serious, have had many not -so -nice things to say about Edward in the past 16 years he's played in the NHL and from a strictly logical point of view, they're right. Edward isn't the best skater in the league, he hasn't the best shot in the Teague, and he's hardly even heard of positional play, But he has also contributed more than laughs to most of the teams he's played with, and he's made the game exciting at the same time, Of the players now working in the NHL, probably only two can match or even come close to creating the same excitement Shack can when he picks up the puck in his own end, wheels, and takes off like a wounded bull moose for the opposition territory. The two others are Robert Orr and Frank Mahovolich.' Some scoffers would crucify me for even mentioning Shack with these other great stars, but skill and super -star status aside, Shack provides that same kind of expectation when he charges down ice as the others do. You never know what will happen. He may wheel his way through the entire team and miss the net by a mile. He may hurdle over some unsuspecting defenceman. He may trip over the blueline and land on his kisser. Or he may score a beautiful goal. You don't know, and neither does he. Shack scored 25 goals last year with Pittsburgh but this year with the talent -laden Leafs had play bench most of the year. The injury to Paul Henderson gave hint a chance though and he's making the most of it. Of his four goals for the season, three have been in the past week, Saturday night he scored a goal and played a major part in another by screening the goalie. He stirs up his team and the crowd and gets the opposition so upset they miss checks, pick up stupid penalties and generally get so disorganized that the Leafs can walk all over them. If Shack continues to play as well for the rest of the season as he has been of late, who know where the Leafs may end up. Here's one person who wouldn't even be surprised to see Eddie sipping from the Stanley Cup...1F he continues his present pace. AFTERTHOUGHTS: Toronto Toro hockey broadcasts may not measure up to Leaf games yet but in one thing, they're way out front: the singing of the national anthem. Nothing sounds worse than the opening of games in the Gardens where the organist plays the anthem and it echos around the building like it was empty. The Toros, even with their meagre resources, manage to have a singer on hand to lead the audience in the anthem, just as the Expos do for baseball and all the football teams do. When will the Leafs get a little class?...Locally we always seem to be coming up with new facilities for younger people like the swimming pool project, but when are we going to start getting more facilities for adults like lawn bowling for the summer, or tennis, or a curling rink?

Children have nutrition know-how There's a new nutrition expert in many homcg - your second or third grader! Now that food and fun have been added to nutrition classes, amazing things are happening. Children are learning what nutri- tion is all about. Even kindergarten classes are putting balanced meals together. Food is fun for children when they learn through cooking, playing games, taking trips to local markets, or trying out international foods. With encouragement at home, these programs will be more effective. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, suggest you find out about the nutrition program at your school and plan an effective follow-up at home. Children love to dabble in food, Teachers capitalize on this interest to introduce basic nutrition princip- les, For example, with a peeler, a FORD saucepan and a hot plate, children can make soup right in . the classroom, using vegetables that they bought at a nearby market. Besides developing coordination and social skills, the project familiarizes children with a wide variety of vegetables. Food takes on a special meaning when you've had an active role in its preparation. The "game" approach can be used to help children classify foods into the basic food groups or help • them to select balanced meals, Teachers can use any number of methods such as card games, quizzes, contests, food bingo, or mystery boxes. The opportunity of eating Chin- ese food with chopsticks, making Mexican tostada, or sampling a national dish enables the child to appreciate international foods and food habits. 1913 SPECIALS '73 Ford Ltd Brougham, 4 -dr.

Ah, fatal error. "You do?", she chirruped. "Yeah. Well, you know. It's not the same without you," thinking of the facts: a pile of soiled socks; clown to nay last shirt, the one with the peekaboo look where the seams are ripped; nothing but TV (eccech!) dinners for the last four days.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEB. 13, 1974, Agricultural Tidbits Farm subsidy facts WITH ADRIAN VOS In an editorial in the London Free Press last week the editor was whining about the fact that farmers get subsidies. 1t seems that there are people who just don't want to learn. Time and again it has been pointed out that subsidies, no matter who receives them, always get passed on to the user of the product. Not because the producer of the product wants it that way, but it follows logically. if product- ion costs are too high, no profit is made. If no profit is made production stops, for no one works for nothing. The result is a shortage of product and subse- quently higher prices. If a government then decides that this is going to happen, and the product is essential, they may grant the producer a subsidy in some form or other, This may induce the producer to keep producing and thus the price won't go up. Hence the subsidy benefits the user of the product. The subsidy may be in the form of tax concession as in the mining industry or in helping the farmer pay his labour a decent wage or paying the producer 5 cents for a hundred pounds of milk so the consumer doesn't have to pay more. An editor of a daily paper, who gives opinions to thousands of readers should not give such shallow opinions. ***** That subsidies wouldn't be necessary if farmers got paid by their productivity is shown in the fact that the farm work force has been cut in half over the last twenty years, while production increased by 50 per cent. This is not because large corporate farms moved into farming, for virtually all our production is on family farms. If newspapers were as efficient they wouldn't have had to increase their price so often. ***** Food is the nation's largest business. If you count all the workers on the farm, in processing, transportation, retailing and rest- aurant service, you'll find that one out of every five workers who works in industry is connected with the food industry. An agricultural industry that receives a fair price for its products is a big buyer of all kinds of products. And that means more and better paying jobs for labour in urban factories and service industries. RURAL ROUNDUP Blyth farmer Adrian Vos has been gaining a reputation as something of an expert on the production of methane gas from animal waste. He pitched for more money for research on the subject at the Ontario Federation of Agriculture annual convention in Oshawa last year and again at the Huron Federation of Agriculture's briefing of local Members of Parliament in Clinton on Saturday. But Adrian is doing more than just telling the government to give more money, he's getting involved himself. He's been involved with University of Waterloo where most of the Canadian research into the production of methane is going on. Recently two graduate students from the university visited the farm to look over the large hog operation and if they can design a system for his farm, he plans to try to raise the money for a pilot project. - ***** The Junior Farmers program in Huron is suffering. The organization was once thriving in the county with several clubs, but in the past few years the number of members has dropped drastically, according to Jim Henderson, Huron county president. At present membership totals 150 and the average age has dropped to 17 years in the 16.30 group. Mr. Henderson blames the lack of job opportunities in the county with the decline since few posthigh school young people remain in the county. I.

Bowes' Electronic Shop PDOP, IRVIN BOWES Show room and Shop in home, PHONE 523.4412 Conference warned of milk crisis Local members of Parliament were warned on Saturday that quick action must be taken or there will be a real crisis in• the milk industry in Ontario. The warnings came from Jack Armstrong, Auburn, chairman of the Huron County Milk Committee and Doug Fraser, Walton repres- enting the county's cream produc- ers and was delivered at the annual Members of Parliament dinner sponsored by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron, Jack Riddell, M.P.P. for Huron and Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron -Bruce were present to hear more than a dozen briefs from county farm organizations. Mr. Armstrong told them that the number of milk producers in Ontario last year dropped by eight per cent . and in Quebec the reduction was 10 per cent. He said long hours and rising costs were driving dairy farmers into cash cropping and other more attractive forms of agriculture, He called for a five-year program in dairying which would be announced in advance and updated annually. He said farmers needed an immediate increase of $2,00 per hundred- weight in the price of industrial milk. Mr. McKinley commented that the long-term dairy policy was something he had pushed for years. Mr. Riddell said he felt the changes were needed but thought the trend away from the dairy farm would continue because farmers could see - how much more they could get for: less work in other fields, Jack Stafford of Wroxeter replied that at least a new policy might keep dairy farmers in the business where cash cropping was not possible, I Mr. Armstrong warned that if milk production isn't soon increas- ed, "I don't know how much longer some of the small processing plants will stay in business," He said many of these arc working at half -throttle now, Mr, Fraser reminded the Memb- ers that the plants close urban areas will be hurt as well. He told of one processing plant that had closed with a lay-off of eight men last summer. Uf these he said, one was on a Manpower retraining program and the other seven were unemployed. Mr. Riddell wondered if it would be possible to reactivate these plants that have closed if milk production rises again, Mr. Gaunt asked Mr, Armstrong if he had figures for the decline in Huron county milk producers. Mr, Armstrong told him that the northern part of the county hasn't dropped as much as some other parts, but the average was about the same as the rest of the province. He said that since 1966 the number of producers in the county has dropped from 1400 to 850. George Underwood of Wingham presented a brief on behalf of the Huron and Perth Chicken Produc- ers and objected to the government grant of $250,000 to the Canadian Consumers Association which is trying to fight national marketing agencies. He said there is not one producer on the Food Prices Review Board that brought in a report critical of egg marketing . procedures.
