Mrs. Walsh will operate the shop with her mother, ' Mary Holland in the building formerly known as the Arcade store which has been vacant for several years. Expert gives farmers tips on income tax Huron county farmers were told Thursday night in Exeter that three changes i►, the past year in tax regulations have helped then. William McEachern of the District Taxation Office in Kitchener told members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture at the regular monthly meeting held in Exeter that one of these changes effects taxes on the sale of a quota. Formerly, he explained, sale of a quota was treated as income and taxed at the regular rate. Now, the said, the farmer selling a quota can deduct the market value of the quota at Dec. 31, 1971 from the sale value and only pay taxes on the remainder. A second change, he said, effects farmers selling stock to enter another form of farming. Normally a Pinner selling off a beef, herd to go into hogs, for example, would have to call the money from the sale income. Now, however, such a farmer can have until the February of the year following the sale to invest the money in an annuity and thus pay taxes only on the yearly income from the annuity, not the full sum. The third change, he said, involved use of livestock as inventory in poor farming years so the farmer could increase his income for purposes of paying into the Canada Pension Plan, Mr. McEachern warned farmers to have a good long look at the benefits before deciding to incorporate their farm, He warned that incorporation. in some cases, brought more harm than benefit. If a farm is incorporated, he explained, the company must declare ` personal benefit for the owners on the use of cars and the house. On cars, he pointed out, this amounted to one per cent of the value of the car per month for each of the owners who had access to the use of the car. This would mean that a husband and wife in a corporation would each pay one per cent per month even if one of the other hardly ever drove the ,car. Incorporation also meant the loss of the $1000 per year capital gains right -off on the farm house, he said, There were also problems with partner- ships, he said and explained he thought it was better to draw up a working agreement rather than a full partnership. No matter whether it is incorporation or partnership, however, he urged farmers to seek a good lawyer in drawing up agreements so they could pay the least possible taxes,' HFA President Doug Fortune in his remarks said he thought all farmers should be "very concerned over what is being done to agricultural land in Huron."

Operated by Barbara Walsh with the assistance of her mother, Mary Holland, the store will also carry hand-crafted merchandise. Mrs. Walsh said this week that in the future she hopes to expand her store to include other lines of merchandise but this will depend on the acceptance of the store by the public. She said the store will have a selection of fabrics and all sewing supplies as large as ;ny other store in the arca and she feels prices will be as low or lower than in outlets in other towns. She is waiting anxiously, hOwevcr, for the arrival of some stock which inav not arrive in time for the opening on Monday. Mrs. Walsh is the wife of village clerk Larry '.Walsh. The Walshes, natives of Blyth, returned to the village last November after spending several years living in 'Toronto. Hullett Council holds marathon meeting Tenders for warblefly spraying and inspecting and for the township gravel supply were accepted at a marathon meeting of Hullett township council March 4. The meeting, which lasted all afternoon, broke for supper : and then ran until midnight, accepted the tender of Hoegy Farm Supply to supply warblefly spray while the tender of Wayne and Tom's Spraying was accepted for the spraying of the cattle. Russell Good was accepted as spray inspector. George Radford Construction Limited was the company winning the gravel tender. Drains were a main topic of discussion. The court of revision on the Medd Drain was held with no appeals against assessment. Tenders were called on the project. The Kennedy Drain court of revision went the same way. Things were not so quiet in the evening, however, with the report on the Beane Drain No. 1 and Beane Drain No. 2, On No. .2 there were some objections, but general agreement and court of revision was set for April 1 at 3 p.m. Owners on No. 1, however, were unhappy that part of the drain was left open and requested this be tiled, The report was sent back to the engineers for revision, Council asked the clerk to contact the township lawyers, to begin action to halt the dumping of garbage on Lot 24, Concession 10. A bylaw was passed authorizing the erection of yield signs on the Hullett- McKillop boundary road. The county weed inspector was appointed by bylaw to enforce the weed control act. H. Uderstadt was appointed to bring in a report on the Nott drain. Building permits were issued to W.L. Whyte, C.Vanderlei for an addition to a barn and a manure tank; W.S. Ball, 4 -bedroom house; James Schneider, house and garage; J. Middegaal, house; Robert Johnston, verandah; Garry Addison, pole barn and rebuilding workshop; Murray Popp, hog barn. The clerk was instructed to advertise that 1974 dog tags are now available at the clerk's office General accounts of $1464, road accounts of $3335,75 and drainage accounts of $570 were approved for payment. We've made some changes The Blyth Standard this week has a new look and some nepv content. Standard publisher Keith Roulston said this week that the weekly newspaper must continue to change and improve to meet the needs of the tinges, Changes have been. made in the look of the paper, he said, to make it more inviting for the reader. Such changes include the use of only four columns of type on the front page instead of five. The longer line length makes reading more convenient and also increases the amount of reading material that can be put on a page. Mr, Roulston also announced the inclusion of a new page in The Standard to be known as Update, to provide material background to the news from regional, provincial, national and international sources. "With the increasing costs of daily papers,'= Mr. Roulston said, "even fewer' people than before will be reading daily newspapers. Thus, we feel it is important for the weekly newspaper to take over some of the functions formerly served by the daily. To the best of our knowledge, we are the only weekly newspaper in the province that tries to keep readers up to date on matters outside the immediate community through in-depth comment," Mr. Roulston also announced the beginning of a new column This 'n' That, with short comments and notes on events of interest to the community. He expressed regret that long-time Standard columnist Shirley Keller had decided to discontinue writing her column. Mrs. Keller is editor of a large weekly newspaper, 'a mother of three and is active in the community and found it impossible to keep up with the strain of writing a weekly column. She will be missed. 1 PG. 2 THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 13, 1974 Hull ett Central School registration shows 30 for Kindergarten On Tuesday, March 5 the children who will be starting Kindergarten classes next year came to Hullett Central with a parent to register. Approximately 30 of them met Mr. MacLennan, talked with Mrs, Martene, the health nurse, and filled out their papers in the staff room. Then, they went down to the Kindergarten room to meet Miss Adams, who will be their teacher and see their first classroom. MEET THE SECRETARY MISS LYNDA ANDERSON: The sounds of a typewriter again rang through the school's office when Miss Lynda Anderson came to Hullett's rescue. After Mrs. Mary Divok, who had been secretary at the school last year and for the first two weeks this year, left to begin a business of her own in Clinton, Miss Anderson became her replacement, Miss Anderson lives with her parents, her two brothers and three sisters just out of Londesboro. This is her first job since she graduated from Seaforth District High School, Miss Anderson busily works every day, running errands for the teachers, many of whom were once her own. In hr spare time she enjoys sewing and embroidery. Miss Anderson is also, active in broomball and baseball. SAFETY CONTEST The winners of February's safety contest were Grade 8 and Grade 4. The topics were "Passenger Safety" and "Winter Safety". These two classes will share "Trevor, The Safety Bug" for the month of March, Topics for posters or poems for next month are "School Safety -Indoors" and "School Safety•Outdoors". THIS 'N' THAT BY R.W. Streaking—the craze is streak- ing across the continent. Not to be undone (if you'll pardon the pun), our editor the other night decided to bring streaking to Blyth, even if it was a little unintentional, Seems he was having a bath before going to bed and forgot to take his pj's to the bathroom. So, without a stitch, he streaked 30 feet to the bedroom. There were no witnesses which, knowing our editor, was probably just as well. *** Speaking of streaking, we hear some police forces such as the one in London are planning to try to put a stop to it by making arrests, Sometimes cops really are dumb. Left on it's own, streaking will soon die as suddenly as it began. If the police start making arrests, however, we'll see rebellious kids showing off their bare rumps for some time yet, .especially with warmer weather coming. *** The village of Blyth council sure picked a good year to purchase its own snowplow...we hardly even needed one. They certainly aren't going to wear out the machine in one winter anyway. Still, though a little ironic that they purchased the plow this year, it was still a good decision. Snow or no snow, the council would have been paying standby time to a private operator. By using town foreman Jim Warwick to run the plow it means he can go back to his regular duties on days there is no plowing to do. *** Darcy McKeough has come up with his own version of "Let them eat cake." When Murray Gaunt asked him last week in the Legislature to intercede with Ontario Hydro on behalf of Huron county farmers who are being i offered prices less than market ' value for their land on the route of the power corridor from Douglas Point to Seaforth while farmers on the route of the pipeline from western Canada are being offered 150 per cent of market value. Mr, McKeough said he wouldn't help out the farmers. If they weren't satisfied, he said, let them go to expropriation where they may get a better deal. Here's hoping Mr. McKeough gets the same treatment (at least politically) the author of the other famous remark, You'll remember Marie Antoinnette was beheaded. THIS WEEK • NATIONAL PETROLEUM CO. Energy Minister Donald Mac- donald detailed in the House of Commons the federal govern- ment's plans for the national petroleum cor-poration , The Minister said that initially the corporation will focus heavily on exploration and it should also contribtuc to the development of the Athabasca oil sands. He said that as the corporation develops. it will require hundreds of millions of dollars over the early years of its operation. Besides its own exploration activities, the corporation will participate in joint ventures with smaller Canadian controlled firms. EXPORTS OF RESOURCES Industry. Trade and Commerce Minister -Alastair Gillespie int- roduced a bill in the House of Commons to permit the govern- ment to require more processing of ores, concentrates and other natural resources in Canada. The bill, amending the Export and Import Permits Act, would restrict the export of natural resources. CONSUMER ASSISTANCE The federal government has issued regulations to control from Ottawa consumer package sizes and to upgrade information on package labels. Packagers will have 18.24 months to comply with the regulations. Manufacturers, not complying with the new rules, could be lined up to $10,000 for each offence, NEW IMMIGRATION RULES Under changes to Canada's immigration regulations, pros- pective immigrants will be required to have either a firm job offer or a skill known to be in demand ih the locality where they" wish to settle, The basic point. system of evaluating immigrants will be maintained but increased emp- hasis will be placed on occupa- tional demand. WIRETAP CONTROL LAW Justice Minister Otto Lang announced that the Protection of Privacy Act, passed at the last session .of Parliament, will come into effect June 30, 1974. After that date, it will be illegal to use, buy or sell wiretapping equip- ment. Under_ -the Act, -only the -police. will be permitted to bug, and then only in stipulated situations. McKillop road budget up McKillop Township Council meeting in Winthrop last week approved a budget of $121,784 for this year for its 107.9 miles of roadway. This is $9,337 over last year's budget. The budget is subject to the approval of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. Road superintendent William Campbell reported maintenance of the roads will use up $79,100 of this total and new construction proposed will require the remain- ing $42,684. Council accepted the tender of Joe Kerr Limited, Wingham, to / supply 20,000 cubic yards of gravel ht $1.32 per cubic yard for Any farmer requiring gravel for his laneway will be charged $1.75 per cubic yard. Mr, Campbell reported the township has been given approval for an allocation of $62,000 for 1974 for roads from the Ministry of T and C. Coiuncil authorized Mr. Camp- bell to attend the .Mahoney Road School at the University of Guelph on May 5,6,7 and 8. Westfield news BY MRS.

But Premier William Davis, speaking in Toronto, wasn't as adamant, Premier Davis promised that an environmental review will be made before a route is chosen to carry power from the Bruce nuclear complex to Georgetown. Amid mounting opposition from farm- ers, the premier said selection of a route could be considered by a review board proposed in Tuesday's speech from the throne, "It might be handled very properly by THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 13, 1974. PG. 3 won't budge on -power line route, sure the review board," he said in answer to questions from Liberal leader Robert Nixon. At the same time in Wingham, a hearing into the right of Ontario Hydro to expropriate land for power corridors through Bruce, Huron and Perth counties ended after three days of testimony, most of it from farmers opposing the proposed route. At the inquiry, John Sedgewick, of Hydro's transmission and distribution department, said an alternate route proposed by opposition farmers is too close to Glammis Bog in Bruce County to be feasible. He said eight miles of the proposed route E. Wawanosh Council reviews insurance coverage Fire coverage on township and commun- ity buildings was a topic of discussion at East Wawanosh council's March meeting held March 5 at the Be(grave Community Centre, insurance coverage for the new township public works garage was set at $65,000 and was purchased through agent W.S.. Gibson. The council also recommended to the Be!grave Arena Board that coverage on the arena be increased to at least $45,000. The tender of Joe Kerr Ltd. of Wingham was accepted for 12,000 cubic yards of gravel at $1.20 per yard. The road superintendent was given permission to attend the Ontario Good Roads school at Guelph on May 5, 6 and 7. The auditor's fees to A.M. Harper and Company for $1350 were approved for payment. Road accounts of $11,403.29 and general accounts of $3,108.33 were passed for payment. The council adjourned until the April meeting on April 2 at 1 p.m. Morris Council hears report on Blyth Drain Morris township council considered the report on the Blyth Creek Drain at its March meeting held March 4. , James A. Howes, O.L.S. was present to answer questions for ratepayers and court of revision was set for April 1, 1974 at 2 p.m. The statement of proposed expenditures for township roads totalling $83,350 was approved with a subsidy of $50,000 from the Ministry of Transport and Communica- tions if approved. A supplimentary allocation in the amount of $12,000 was sought by the council. A : bylaw was passed calling for twice -yearly collection of taxes on June 30 and Dec. 15. William Pullen, Charles Higgins and Adrian Vos were present representing the Federation of Agriculture and requesting a grant from council. No action was taken. Road accounts of $4,344.59 and general accounts of $1,394.93 were approved for payment. Modern medicine protects rich and poor There was a time when people thought health care was a privilege. Now almost everyone believes adequate health care is a basic human right. Hospital patients even have in a sense their own Bill of Rights. All, patients have a right to considerate and respectful care. They have a right to complete information about their diagnosis and treatment -- in terns they can understand. They also have a right to refuse treatment to the extent the law allows and to know the medical consequences of doing so. Among other safeguards, pat- ients have a right to have the records of their case kept confidential. They have a right to expect reasonable responses to requests for services and a right to know why they may be transferred to other institutions. They have a right to expect adequate continuity of care. They have a right to examine their bilis and have them explained; regard- less of who pays the. bill. A Patient's right to know about his illness is an important building block in the growing effort to provide guarantees of adequate health care for every- one. Lung patients, for example, are a special concern of the Christmas Seal Association, whose goal is to establish comprehensive care for all lung patients by the end of the next decade. The Association supports a health program believing the provincial government should establish cost controls and set minimum standards for all health services assuring adequate cov- erage for comprehensive care and catastrophic illness. To find out more about your human rights and health particu- larly for lung disease patients, contact your Christmas Seal Association. It's a matter of life and breath.

Alan Mill, a Wingham lawyer represent- ing some of the farmers, asked Mr. Sedgewick if Hydro would be willing to consider the route suggested by his clients. Mr. Sedgewick said the route had been considered when Hydro studied the entire area. "Are you telling this inquiry you will not take a look at the proposed route?" Mr. Mill asked. "Not unless we're asked," was the reply. "Then it has been a waste of time on the part of this committee to present the alternate route," Mr. Mill said. Don Fraser, of the Hydro planning department, said the farmers' presentation was based only on soil capacity. The Hydro choice had taken other factors into consideration. "I don't see any cause for added 'consideration," Mr. Fraser said. "Then Hydro will not budge unless forced?" Mr. Mill asked. "That's right," Mr. Fraser said. In Toronto, Premier Davis said environ- mental 'considerations will be weighed before the final route is chosen. He rejected, however, calls by NDP leader Stephen Lewis to stop the line completely. The premier said the review board is being established to study "future transmission corridors," But under pres- sure from Mr. Nixon he said the proposed Douglas Point -Bradley Junction•George- town line could go before a review board when established. He promised to take up the matter with Energy Minister Darcy McKeough. The section of the line crossing the Niagara Escarpment, however, is under study by a commission headed by Dr, 0. M. Solandt, former chairman of the Science Council of Canada. Mr. Davis said the Solandt commission is expected to bring down its recommend- ations of . power transmission between Pickering and Nanticoke shortly and that the Georgetown leg of the Bruce line will be included. AT Wingham, inquiry officer MacCraig, an Owen Sound lawyer, concluded the hearing by saying he would make his recommendation to the minister of the environment. He said he did not know when the report would be submitted. He summed up the three days of testimony, two days of which were held last week, to two main arguments: *Whether Hydro has the right to expropriate 900 feet of land on a 16 -mile strip between Douglas Point and Bradley Junction when it only needs 500 feet for use until 1990. •That Hydro reconsider the proposed corridor through Bruce, Huron and Perth to another route that would use a smaller amount of good agricultural land. Representatives of the Bruce -Huron Hydro Negotiating Committee, a group of farmers united to battle the proposed coridor, suggested the alternate route. Nick White, a Hullett Township farmer said he would lose about 10 acres from his 100 -acre farm, all of it class one (prime growing land). He said modern farming operations, which depend on efficiency, will be jeopardized by power line bases in fields. Although it is possible to work around the bases, Mr. White contended thgt large- scale equipment requiring room to manoeuvre would double the amount of land put out of production. He quoted an Ontario Hydro study that said other routes may be required through the Wingham to Seaforth area later. "The acreage you take out of production is my profit," he concluded. "If I can't make money off an area, 1 shouldn't be there." More than a dozen other farmers testified, either asking modification for placement of the line through their land or asking for a new route. Several said they would no longer be able to farm with reduced acreage. Grant Lewis, Turnberry Township, said he farmed 80 acres in mixed grain crops. The line would affect 26 acres of land, 24 of it class one. "I'll have to quit," he said. "It's not financially possible to make a living on 54 acres." Replying to the alternate route suggest- ed, Alan Neville, a Hydro engineer, said if the proposed route were built, extra lines to tie it in with existing systems would cost about $1.4 million.

In his column in this newspaper last week, Adrian Vos wondered at the apparent lack of concern shown by people in urban areas over the rapid loss of farmland in Ontario through urban sprawl and power lines and pipelines, His point seems well taken. Not a peep has been heard in Huron county from the urban municipal councils about the Ontario Hydro power corridor running through the county which will eat up hundreds of acres of prime farmland. In perusing local newspapers, only one letter to the editor has been seen from an urban resident protesting the plight of farmland in the area. The residents of our towns and villages, it seems, just don't give a darn. Like urban people everywhere, they will begin to care only when it begins to hurt them in the pocketbook...in other words, when it's too late to do anything about it. And hurt it is going to do. At present, 26 acres of Ontario's best farmland is going out of production every hour to serve the expanding needs of urban area. Twenty-six acres an hour is buried under concrete for a superhighway, or wasted under a factory or burrowed into for an apartment building or split-level suburban houses, or just made useless by row on row of Hydro powerline towers. Despite what many urbanites might think, we don't have an endless supply of farmland in At thepresent rate, or indeed in Canada. we will run out of farmland completely in Ontario in 50 years. We're used to running out of things of course. We run out of coal, so we switch to oil. We run out of oil, so we switch to atonic power. We run out of wool so we switch to cotton. But if we run out of land, we run out of food and what are we going to switch to? It's hilarious, if it wasn't so tragic, that the urban press, politicians and academics have made great cries over the waste of paper and metal and glass and oil, but no tears are shed for the loss of food -producing land, the one thing we cannot replace if we waste it. These groups make a big hoopla to protect the way of life of a few hundred Indians up on James Bay from the flooding of their hunting land, but they almost completely ignore the danger to millions of people right here in southern Ontario by the loss of farmland. It's time for someone to jar the urban residents out of their lethargy. It must happen, because the urban citizens have the political power today, not the farmers. If farmland is to be saved, it must be by a joint effort of farmers and urban residents. The farmers cannot fight the battle alone. A new paint job A few years ago, some used car salesmen used to try to palm off an old junker on an unsuspecting sucker by putting sawdust in the noisy rearend and slapping paint over metal thinned to a tissuepaper thickness by rust. The practice has long ago been outlawed in the used car business. In politics, it still seems to be around. Premier William Davis recently reorganized his cabinet. He quieted noisy criticism of some departments by kicking out some of the old cabinet like John Yaremko who had been thoroughly discredited by scandal. He threw on a thin coat of respectibility in the hope that he could sell the Big Blue Machine to the rather naive Ontario electorate for one more time in 1975. But how long before the corruption eats its way through again? How long before the nearly 40 year-old Tory government machine falls to pieces altogether? Will the Ontario voter get sold a bill of goods again only to find out the machine is as corrupt as ever? Who, having seen the past performance of both government and voter, would bet against it? All the warts show Historical re-enactments of political leaders usually show them in heroic terms, It is interesting then, and refreshing, to see The National Dream, the televised version of Pierre Berton's mammoth work on the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, portrays Canadian historic figures with all the warts. We see Sir George Etienne Cartier, already dying, fighting his final campaign and offering government aid for a prominent businessman in return for campaign donations. We see Sir John A. MacDonald, the father of his country, in states of blind drunk in some cases and teetering in the House while delivering a historic speech, fortified by gin. Think of this in comparision to the treatment other countries give to their histori.; heros, What bad things have you heard about Washington, Lincoln, or Roosevelt in the U.S. or Churchill in Britain or Ghandi in India or DeGaulle in France? They seem immaculate in the history books. They are akin to saints. Yet they were humans who surely had human failings. Historians, conveniently forget the failings in favour of the high points. This gives a poor perspective to people today, How can our present leaders, under the glare of piercing modern criticism, possibly stand up to the standards set by our immaculate historic leaders. We can be thankful to our Canadian historians for giving us the truth. standard KEITH G JILL ROULSTON, Co -Publishers Published every Wednesday at Queen St. , Blyth, Ontario Subscription rates (in advance) Outside Canada $7,00 Canada $6.00 Single copies: 15 cents each Authorized as second class mail by Canada Post Office.

What others say A powerful question The recent announcement that a nuclear power plant will be located in the area within the next ten years will mean both good and Letters to the editor How come there is always so little sports in the Blyth Stan- dard? I would like to see the Arena Schedule in the paper every week. Please' don't blame the coaches and managers, because 1 think anybody running a paper could find out about all games and have half a page for Sports Report. After all it gives the boys an enthusiastic lift to see their name in the Standard. Yours Mrs. Janet Hunking, EDITORS NOTE: We would love to give more sports coverage but so far haven't found how to do 35 hours of work a day. To those on the outside it may be hard to understand that putting out a weekly newspaper takes a great I deal of time and hard work, not only on the part of the editor, but on the part of the staff, Many days this can mean working 15 hours or more "and usually means working weekends too, even though the office is not open on those days. The oily way to give more coverage of sports is to go without sleep, hire more staff (which we could do if everyone was willing to pay $15 a year subscription) or to depend on coaches, managers or parents to provide results. If you have a better answer, we'd love to hear it. Dear Mr. Roulston, Our mutual friend, Andy McLean, was thoughtful enough to send along your excellent editorial on small business which he reprinted in his December 13 (Huron) Expositor, We had in fact discussed the general area which reminded Andy of your article, 1 just want you to know that 1 found it expressed an opinion we are hearing more and more these days around Ottawa. Hopefully the Government will realize it has to do more in this area, There was a beginning in the Speech from the Throne, but just a beginning. Yours sincerely, (Senator) Keith Davey, Ottawa, news and bad news to local citizens. Depending on its exact location on Lake Huron, and Ontario Hydro is not taking about that, the new power plant will have fantastic impact on the communi- ties nearest it. With it will come high wages and thusly plenty of spending money. Nearby communities may double their size within a few years and the influx of people will boost the local economy greatly. As well, land prices will soar as will rents and numerous other local commodities. But along with the good will also come the bad, Wages paid during the construction period of the plant and to the men who will run it will be more than double what most industries around here pay their employees. This will eventually force many smaller, lower paying factories to close their doors because they will be unable to compete with the high wages paid at the new Hydro plant. Because of the influx of people, demand for land for housing will soar, and so will prices. Anyone who doesn't nuke a substantial wage will be out of luck when it • comes to buying a home. As well, the influx of people will put a strain on existing people services such as sewers and other land services, with the result that those towns or villages nearest the site will have to embark on expensive construction projects that all taypayers will finance. The new nuclear power plant will also require more agricultural land both for the actual plant site and for the transmission lines, which will have to run through some of Canada's best farmland. Depending on which side of the fence you're on, then, the new plant has to be viewed with mixed feelings, as it will be both a blessing and a curse, -Clinton News Record CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1.

Generation Update; In-depth reports At recent Ontario Hydro information meeting held at Howick Central School to discu"s the Bradley Junction to George- town route of the Douglas Point power corridor Bruce Nunn of R.R. 2, Palmerston made a presentation of the effects of power lines across Ontario. His story is one that will confirm the fears of many already concerned about the powcrlines which will soon crisscross Huron county, and will shock many who are not now concerned. "In the past few days I have been travelling throughout the arca, viewing, in my estimation, the biggest land owner in Ontario. The property 1 have been interested in belongs to Ontario Hydro. It used to belong to farmers, householders, and a corss sectin of all the people that make up our society. With the acquisition of these narrow but all too numerous belts of land throughout this province of ours, this has been a spreading cancer of rural blight. "As farmers, we have only to drive down the roads that front these tower lines to see the change in the rural life habits of the 'people. This was not an isolated case, but rather the general rule from end to end. We saw empty farm houses, empty barns and skeletons of gutter cleaners that previously dairy herds had stood in front of. We saw the signs of absentee cash croppers that moved in to acquire large acreages of frontal land adjoining these tower lines, The heartbreak that must be covered by these boarded windows and flelapidated barns can only be judged by a THE BLYTH STANDARD, March 13, 1974. PG. 5 The region Powerlines string ruined farm.s across Ontario farmer whose livelihood 'comes from his farm as well as his very reason for life. "At previous meetings i have told most of you my impression of the Schomberg area. I now move to different areas which have received no previous publicity. This is the arca to be served by the Nanticoke station and this particular line was completely over -looked on thc transparent shown by Mr, Mosher (Hydro engineer), "1 started this odyssey in the Copetown•Lyndon area and found an existing 230 KV line and a maze of existing 115 KV lines, "In talking to the local farmers it wasn't hard to find the most unfortunate farmer on each road. At 1355 Power Linc Road I met Mr. Donald Somerville who has a 115 KV line running through his farm right behind thc barn. As if this wasn't enough of an inconvenience Mr. Somerville has now lost 42 acres to a line at right angles to the first. With this further intrusion Mr, Somerville has lost all of his best land; which incidentally is corn land, and although he may have the option to lease this land the confinement of these towers is certainly going to change his stylkc of harvesting. From the initial overtures by Hydro until the final settlement, three years elapsed. Three years of not being able to plan for the future, seed down the necessary alfalfa, etc. "Mr, Somerville's problems are some- what unique to ours since his farm is located 12 miles from downtown Hamilton, He fought for three years but settled prior to expropriation because all of his neighbours up the line had been infiltrated and picked off one by one, and he alone held on. This line took his 2700 -bushel grain bin and his new steel drive shed. His final settlement was $882 per acre. Land values at that time were from $1,000 to $1,600 and are currently $2.000 toy$3,000 per acre. This tower lin will not be The province 29th session BY MURRAY GAUNT* M.P.P. IHURON-BRUCEI It was the usual pomp and ceremony as the Fourth Session of the 29th Ontario Legislature opened this week. The Throne Speech was read by Lieutenant -Governor Ross MacDonald, his last because of his scheduled retirement in April.. Essentially the speech outlined the Government's proposed Legislative pro- gramme for the coming Session, the main features of which are: *Fancily law will be rewritten to strengthen the rights of married women, particularly the right to property. *Measures designed to aid Northern development, including expanded air service, electric power extensions to Northern Cc mmunitics, and Gove..rnncent constructed until 1976. it is interesting to note that this right of way is 610' and includes a 230 KV line on each side of three 500'kv lines. it now becomes obvious why so much land is required in this territory. At no place in my travels have 1 seen 500 KV of the height proposed through our townships, so I submit the obvious additional height of the 500 KV line is to accomodate the 230 KV lines as they become necessaryt or possibly even at the time of construction. "Today I travelled the line from Schomberg to north of Barrie and in talking to local farmers, again found no enchantment with Hydro methods. Thro- ugh ou ugh -out this area it was noticedable that Hydro stuck to the high ground wherever possible; which coincidentally happened to be the prime farm land instead of the poorer, much Icss productive land directly west. "1 finally arrived at the farm of Mr. Ross Harris who, prior to even meeting him had my sympathy, and 1 have no doubt the sympathy of every farmer here. His farm is 300 acres in one block but only the front two-thirds was the valuable corn land we all prize. Diagonally through this within 20' of his existing barn, run three Tines of Hydro towers, After meeting him he showed me that beneath two of these lines had stood a new pole b am and a bulk silo. These he had to tear down and re -locate toward the road. Most of Mr. Harris' neighbours settled for amounts as low as $600 for a farm crossing but Mr, Harris held on for three years after having been offered $3,000 total. "The night before the expropriation proceedings a representative from Hydro came to him and assured him how much better off he would be to accept their last offer of $9,000.00. It went to expropriation of Legislature involvement in a project to bring natural gas from the Arctic Islands. *A major assault on housing problems designed to hold prices down and keep Ontario on the path to a million new dwellings within a decade. *Ontario will take the lead in North America by making seat belt wearing complusory. *The Province's elderly and disabled were promised an income support programme. The Throne Speech also announced plans for a prescription drug plan for senior citizens and a variety of other social programmes in the fields of day care, services to handicapped children and the disabled. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon demanded that the Government apply its new environmental review agency to two big opens in next morning at 10 a.m. and the outcome was that he received $12,000 total plus costs. This money Mr. Harris used to build a new house which has not steps, since his wife has been an invalid for 25 years. Currently Hydro is planning three more lines to be added to the existing lines and it seems as though Mr. Harris will Tose all of his buildings and possibly his new house which is right at the road. "in our previous meetings Mr. Mosher has indicated the problems which we hear of as being isolated cases, "After a few days of travel I feel qualified to say to you that these were not isolated cases, but rather, isolated people. What we have heard is the general case and not the exception. "We farmers owe these gentlemen of the Hdro propaganda group a vote of thanks for having united the farmers of Turnberry, Howick, Wallace, Mary - borough and Peel Townships as no one -else has ever sone in our past history and they should be able to return to their leaders to inform them that we are not naive enough to believe that we will stop this rape of our land but they will be forced to expropriate every inch requird with the resulting publicity and public outcry." H FA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 said that at the hearings into the Ontario Hydro Transmission line last week more than 200 persons attended with the farmers' side really being brought out at the Wednesday session in Wingham. Mr. Fortune• said the lines have to go somewhere and the farmers involved generally accept the lines as a necessity but are concerned that they be located on poor farmland, not good land. He pointed out that there will be 10 towers to a farm under present plans and that would make it completely uneconomical for farmers to work around the towers. Toronto hydro projects before allowing them to be b uilt. Nixon said the review programme, announced Tuesday in the Throne Speech, means nothing unless the Premier orders its use before allowing Hydro to go ahead with the Arnprior Dam and the power line corridor from Douglas Point to Georgetown and from the Point to Seaforth. Mr, Davis called the review process, which would call for hearings on the environmental impact of a project before it could be built, "pioneering", but would not undertake to order an environmental review of projects already under way. Under pressure from Nixon, Mr. Davis did undertake to discuss the power line project with Energy Minister Darcy McKeough to see if further review of the hydro line route is needed. Farmers have been opposing the hydro route for the line on the basis that it would cut through 80 per cent of prime agricultural land. I asked the Minister of Energy, Mr. Darcy McKeough if he would talk to Ontario Hydro witli respect to thc rate of compensation for farmers in the hydro line corridor, particularly in view of the fact that Ontario Hydro has been offering rates which are 50-75 per cent of current market prices, as opposed to the rates being offered by the pipeline, which arc 1 understand approx. 150 per cent of current market value prices. Mr. McKeough replied that if farmers, or other property owners felt aggrieved by the prices being offered under the Expropriations Act they have the option of submitting the matter to the Land Compensation Board which is required to deal adequately and fairly with these matters of compensation. The nation Oil storage becomes embarassing precaution for Ottawa Pssst. Want to buy 26 million gallons of heating oil at double the going rate? If you're interested in making that kind of a deal, contact the Trudeau government, supply and services department. The heating fuel --enough to heat 26,000 average -sized homes for an entire winter --was purchased by the government last November as an insurance policy against anticipated oil shortages in Eastern Canada this winter. So far, the emergency hasn't material- ized, the oil hasn't been burned and. worst of all, a slump in the price of so-called "spot lots" of Caribbean oil has made the government oil vastly overpriced. Supply and services department officials still won't reveal the cost of the five oil purchases made as an insurance policy , against a winter fuel crisis. They claim that such information could hinder them from re -selling the oil, or from obtaining more if it's needed later this winter. But an investigation of Caribbean and Mediterranean oil prices for the month of November when the purchases were made reveals that prices, including freight charges, ranged between 47 and 60 cents a gallon for spot lots. Petroleum industry officials estimate the government paid about 52 cents a gallon wholesale on the average, nearly twice the retail price in Montreal at the time. Storage, delivery and retail charges for the government oil aren't available. The oil is stored at refineries in Newfoundland, Montreal, Dartmouth and Quebec City. The government says it is not paying storage charges on it, but the oil industry says this is not the case, No refiner has agreed to take the oil off the government's hands. Government officials, obviously embar- rassed by the unexpected turn of events, maintain tle decision to buy the oil was justified, "If there are oil shortage problems in Eastern Canada during the first quarter of this year," one government oil adviser says, "they will occur toward the end of the winter." Over in supply and services, spokesmen offer several explanations for the sudden surplus of heating oil. The Eastern Canadian winter for the most •-art has been mild, emergency shipments of Alberta crude oil through tie St. Lawrence Seaway and Panama Canal have relieved the pressure and voluntary energy cutbacks by consunv .s have helped. The other reason is that "considerable leakage" has occurred from Arab oil states • which .had announced supply cutbacks to Eastern Canada, according to one official. "We haven't been cut off to the degree we had expected," While the government contends it may be possible to sell the oil to the United States or even to Canada's defence department, the availability of Caribbean oil at lower rates poses a problem. Supply and services Minister Goyer originally announced plans to purchase "40 million gallons" of heating oil or "1 million barrels". Officials say the minister whose department handled the purchases through the Canadian Commercial :.orporation was misinformed about the amount of oil in a barrel There are 35 gallons of oil in a barrel, so the government apparently intended to purchase 35 million gallons. Later, it was judged unnecessary to buy that much, so the purchases, including one from Romania, were cut to 26 million. Supply and services spokesmen remain as vague about the purchase as they are on the question of price. The deal was handled by a Toronto broker, Canadian Fuel Marketers Group Ltd., a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell. •• -The Ottawa Citizen PG. 6 THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 13, 1974 1 SPRING SEEDS COMPLETE LINE OF OATS, BARLEY & MIXED GRAIN 17 MIXTURES TO CHOOSE FROM ALL POPULAR OATS & BARLEY VARIETIES Let Us Mix Your Grass Seed Requirements In Our Mixer TRY THE NEW W.L. 210 ALFALFA FOR HIGHER YIELDS ComDIete Line of Purina Chows - Check -i -m ix Feeds - Sanitation Products - Health Aids - Bulk & Bag Fertilizer Moraen 16 Seed Corn Seed Corn made for this Area ECONOMICAL EXTRA STRONG EASILY INSTALLED Lel U.s You with your ventilatio n •and \ • Barn renovation or new ! construction 1 C - Feeding Systems } - Fan et Ventilation J - Bulk Feed.

In a letter to Ontario Attorney. General Robert Welch, assoc- iation ,ecretary W..1. Egener said Huron County lawyers strongly oppose the recommendation made last month. The letter states that facilities in Stratford "are already inad- equate for the business generated in Perth County and additional court business arising from Huron County would merely compound the problem." Mr, Egener sites the inconven- ience to county residents of t avelling to Stratford, about 50 miles from the county courthouse in Godcrich. There is no train service and buses run between the two towns only twice a day, The move would result in a backlog of cases when the high 'court sits in Stratford. which is only four times a year. "Delayed justice is a backward step," said Mr. Egener. The association feared that moving the high court might lead to moving colt- ty court to Stratford as well. "It is another step towari! centralization and we view it with alarm," said Mr. Egener. The Law Reform Commission also recommended that supreme court for Oxford County, which is held in Woodstock: and for Elgin County, held in St. 'Phomas, both be moved to London.

Now here is a case where Lalonde 'can win the gratitude of both the eastern and western voter, Slowly but surely the money -hungry owners of some WHA teams seem bent on taking the WHA the same route the NHL took nearly a century ago..,that is, out of Canada. The best thing about the WHA has been that it had more teams in Canada than the NHL. Canada, the birthplace of hockey, was being given a chance to see its own sons in action, rather than them going to U.S. cities like Los Angeles and Atlanta where hockey was more a sideshow than a game of skill. So now, as usual, some Canadians like Bennie Haskett of the Jets, just can't wait to sell their country to the Americans. There are two sides to the argument, of course. The fans of Winnipeg, like the fans in Ottawa last year with the Nationals have not .exactly been tearing down the gates to get in to watch the Jets play, Frankly, it's hard to believe the attendance figures for the Jets when you look at the population of the city and the fact that one of the greatest stars of the game, Bobby Hull, plays for the Jets, The people of the city may not deserve a big league team, Still, the attendance is respectable compared to many other teams in the league and what's to say it would increase in some U.S. city? If Lalonde is really concerned about Canadian sports he should be looking into the problems of getting big -league hockey in Canada and help the owners of the new teams get proper facilities and the other things needed to make the franchises a success. Some of the new teams, of course, are doing quite well. The Vancouver Blazers are the most successful team in the WHA from a financial standpoint, and all because they moved to Vancouver from Philadelphia. The Quebec team is drawing well too, and with the bankroll of the Toronto franchise, it will likely be a new rink and big-time stars for the Toros in the next year which will mean success there. Edmonton, at least, is looking to the future with confidence with a big new rink under construction. So Winnipeg seems to be the one problem area. But there would seem to be room in Canada for at least a couple of more teams in the WHA, in Calgary or Hamilton and perhaps Montreal. If we can build a strong WHA Canadian teams, perhaps someday when the NHL and WHA finally merge, we can look forward to an all -Canadian division of the new league. With that in mind, Lalonde should be doing everything he can to help out. It's worth his time and effort more than football is. • *** Comparisons of the Leaf games on Saturday nights and the Toro games on Sundays have usually been unfavourable to the Toros, but not this past weekend, The leafs stunk the place out against the Flyers, looking like they forgot how to pass, shoot or skate. The Toros, meanwhile, showed a crisp style and heads -up play including strong defence, which, until lately, has not been one of their strong points. Granted, the Flyers are a little different than the Cleveland Crusaders, but still, it's beginning to look like there isn't as much difference betweeen the Leafs and Toros as some people like to think. Blyth team wins The Blyth Minor Sports Committee held its Annual Houseleague Tournament last Saturday with 12 teams competing for "A" and "B" Trophies.

The meeting was one of the series of rotating meetings of the Federation in an effort to involve farmers from all parts of the county. •-staff photo Agricultural Tidbits Facts on farmers and food. prices WITH ADRIAN VOS 1 received a little pamphlet the other day from Alberta. I don't know the organization producing it, but I think it's the Alberta government, It is so good that I will just copy most of it. So here goes: "A farmer's wife gets just as much upset about food prices as you do, it's true: Not everything a farm wife serves her family is produced right on the farm. And so she feels the crunch at the check-out counter just as much as you do. Besides she has another reason for being upset; she knows how little of every food dollar her husband receives. "Take bread for example. The farmers' share of a loaf of bread is about three cents. And the supermarket employee earns about twice as much as her husband docs. "Where docs the food dollar go? Why do food bills keep climbing? It's because a lot of things happen between the farmer and you -pro- cessing, grading, packaging, transporting, delivering, whole- saling,- advertising, market re• porting, retailing. "Let's' look at our example again. it takes about one pound of wheat to make one pound of bread, Although wheat flour is the main constituent of the bread, the cost of the wheat has little to do with the cost of the bread, it's the handling, transportAtion, milling, baking, etc, that make up the main part of the cost. it's all part of the marketing system and it all adds to the cost of getting the food from the farmer to the supermarket shelf. And super- market and selfservice stores actually save you money by handling food in such large volume. "Let's look at another reason why your food bill keeps rising. For one thing, the more income you have, the more you spend on food. This doesn't mean you necessarily buy more food. Usually you buy more of the expensive kinds of food, tender steak, vegetables and fruits out of season, and convenience foods, "After reading this you won't probably feel any better about fond prices, especially today. But we wanted you to know that farm families arc just as concerned as you arc. Remember you and the farmers' wife arc in the same boat; it keeps on costing more to feed the family," RURAL ROUNDUP OFA wants Savings officesrevamped FARM FRONT FORGOTTEN Walter Miller, Vice President of the National Farmers' Union has condemned the Ontario Provincial Government for neglecting agriculture in the Speech from the Throne, "If the press rfeports are correct the Ontario Government said absolutely nothing ab out agriculture in the Throne Speech," Mr. Miller said. "I find that incredible in the light of the tremendous pressure on the food industry in both Canada and the world today," he said. Mr. Miller termed the omission "an evasion of responsibility on the part of the government - a failure to deal with the gut issues of the day. MINISTRY SPECIALIST PREDICTS TIGHT SEED SUPPLY "There have been some major changes in the seed grain situation this year," says W.D. Taylor, a specialist with the Soils and Crops Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. "The Seeds Act has been changed, prices are higher, supplies are short, and farmers generally are going to have to do more planning for their requirements." One of the most significant changes has been amde in seed labeling. Starting in the 1974 season, only the seed of pedigreed classes -- Foundation, Registered or Certified -- will be sold as named varieties. "This will inean that only seed from a crop that has been grown from pedigreed seed and inspected in the field by a Plant Products Division inspector can be offered for sale with the variety name on the tags," Taylor explains. In the past any seed of wheat, oats or barley that could meet the standards for germination and freedom from weeds could be sold as Canada No. 1 or No. 2 and have a variety name stated on the seed tag, Cereal seed will now have to be grown and handled as seed rather than using good lots of feed grain as seed when there is a price advantage. A second major change affecting seed supplies is the all-time high prices on the feed grain markets. Prices at harvest and during fall may have tempted some growers to sell on the feed market rather than gamble on a higher price for seed in the spring. "Attractive prices for corn, soybeans and white beans have been responsible for a 10 per cent decline in the 1973 acreage planted with Registered seed of opts or barley," says Taylor. "It is the crop grown from Registered seed that produces the Certified seed sold by the dealers." In the past, Ontario seed shortages have been covered by supplies from western Canada. Ho—ever, the good feed grain markets and the fact that many of the western varieties are not recommended in Ontario have reduced this source of supply. Some dealers are already reporting shortages of the more popular varieties and some farmers may have to settle for their second or third choice. It is doubtful if any treated seed will be available later in the season, except on a special order. Supplies of forage seeds will be in the same situation of shortages and much higher prices. Due to the current price structure, dealers cannot be expected to carry stocks for late orders, Changes in the 1974 seed picture mean that supplies of the popular varieties will be completely exhausted by seeding time. Farmers should start thinking about seed requirements now and place order's without delay. Spurred by the limited sources of farm credit from chartered banks, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture last week asked the Ontario government to revamp the Province of Ontario Savings Office. In its annual brief to the :abinet, the Federation asked that the branch banks of the Province of Ontario Savings Dffice be impowered to loan :Honey and back farm mortgages. The farm group pointed out :hat the original purpose of the government bank in 1921 was to fund farm mortgages. A number of years ago however, the purpose of the bank was changed. Today, the branches no longer make farm loans, and turn over all surplus funds to the govern- ment. "Farmers' demands for Credit are constantly growing, Charter- ed banks are not adequately meeting the need for short- and medium-term credit. Nor is the federal government's Farm Cred- it Corporation able to iili long-term credit needs," says Grace Stalker. An egg producer' from Bath, Mrs. Stalker is a member of the OFA's executive. To support their point, Feder- ation spokesmen noted that a 2 per cent increase in the interest rate adds $25 to the cost of producing a market steer, and $8 to the cost of producing a market hog.

We Deliver • 330 PG. 16 THE BLTTH STANDARD, MARCH 13, 1974 • Bill Smiley Have you noticed the big change in the world of big capitalism in the past couple of decades? The personnel in the inner sanctum of high finance is just as piratical as that of the robber baron days, but the things they wheel and deal in are vastly different. The bad old boys, the Fords and the Rockefellers, the J.P. Morgans and the Andrew Carn- egies, were giants of finance, and a pretty unscrupulous lot, from all • accounts. They dealt with solid, tangible assets :steel and coal, oil, minerals, railways and banks. • Their techniques were roughly similar. Get hold of something as cheaply as possible, and dispose of it for as much as possible. And never pay a working man more ' than the absolute minimum. A simple formula, but it piled up millions, then billions. Today, their names are con- . nected with great philanthropies, but when they were alive, their names produced more curses than blessings. They fought the unions bitterly. They bribed and bullied and stole. They'd have laughted at the idea that their depredations were destroying the ecology. They'd have had apoplexy if someone had suggested something as ridiculous as fringe benefits. It's probably just as well they have gone, though they were a colorful lot of bandits. Today's entrepreneurs seem to be just as arrogant, greedy, and ruthless, but the things they deal in have changed almost comp- letely. Banks and railways and airlines are still highly profitable, but they are no longer the financial News from Huronview . Volunteers from Bayfield, along with a new member, Mrs, Lindsay Smith, attended Mon- day's activities, to assist with the program. Marie Flynn, Frank Forrest, Terry Gibbs, Norman Spcir and Jerry Collins provided the music, Mr. Charles Finlay, of Wroxeter, was welcomed to the • Home. Bill and Wanetta Holland, of the Clinton area, entertained the Residents on "Family Night", Oh a musical program of Country and Western music, and old tyme favourites, The Hol- land's play accordian and electric guitar, with Bill taking the vocal part of some of the numbers. Mrs. Bessie Elliott thanked the entertainers on behalf of the Residents. !The Home has been decorated for Saint Patrick's Day during the I week, with everyone looking forward to the Irish program on 't'amily Night", March 14, with Clark Johnson, of Belgrave, among the list of talent. The old bandits were colourful playthings of a few men. They have become exceedingly dull, huge bureaucracies with little life or colour in them, The new breed of banditti steers clear of then, Oh, your modern wheeler might take a flurry in oil, but it's more likely to be floating a stock issue than getting the stuff out of the ground. Today's financial magnate is farm more interested in the half -world of sports and enter- tainment, than he is in just old things, like nines and such. He sill goes where the big buck is, but the action has changed. Nowadays, he's more likely to own a prizefighter or a string of horses than a chunk 'of a copper mine. Today's big money is in publishing, radio and television`, and sports. And the really big money is in land speculation. Your old-timer financier would have been stun- ned, and envious, could he see the doubling and tripling of money in the buying and selling of plain old land. So, it's in the areas mentioned that you'll find the modern sharks, in large schools, gobbling up the little suckers and regurgitating them for all the slightly larger suckers. Another big change is in the publicity involved. The magnates of yesteryear were very - closed -mouthed. They kept their private lives as secluded as possible, retreated to vast homes and tried to keep the press at arms length. Today's maggots (opps, a Fredudian slip), glory in the limelight. They are never happier than when they have the media speculating about their next deal. They manipulate the press. After all, every story, every picture, drives up the price of whatever they're selling, and is also great • for the ego, They'll call a press conference to discuss a pending operation for an in -grown toenail. Even P,T. Barnum, the great- est con man of them all, would be green with jealousy if he could see the way soime of the modern con artists use every trick he ever knew, and some they've invent- ed, to sucker people into watching a third-rate sports team, or a third-rate prize fight. • There's one other aspect of the great scramble for the buck that has changed drastically. That's the relationship with the people working for the big dealers. In the bad old days, when laissez-faire reigned supreme, it was the accepted custom to grind the worker down, and sweat the 'very life -blood' out of him, to wring the last cent of profit. Today the worm has turned, particularly in sports. All you need, if you're a pretty good athlete, is a good lawyer, and you can put the boss through the wringer. Can you imagine the look on the face of J.P. Morgan if someone could tell him that athletes, mere bodies, were pulling in salaries in six figures? This last aspect would seem to be a matter for sheer joy for most of us • watching the bosses being squeezed by the workers, But alas. It won't do us any good, fellow sucker. The boss will merely rise the price of admission and won't lose a nickel of his own money. Sounds like the government, doesn't it. When everything costs them more, they raise our taxes to pay for the increases. When everything costs us more, they raise the taxes as a curb against inflation. Get in line, sucker, for the next increase in the price of tickets. Somehow, with all their faults, 1 like the old bandits better.

Telephone • 1 i THE BLYTie STANDARD, MARCH 13, 1974 PG. 17 Jack Riddell says teachers must work to improve imagey BY WILMA OKE "If teachers are going to I continue to receive the respect , and support of the community, of parents, taxpayers and citizens, they must improve their profes- sional image," Jack . Riddell, Huron M.P.P. told about one hundred teachers from the Huron -Perth Unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Assoc- iation at a meeting in Seaforth 1 Tuesday night. He said teachers should have the right to strike "as a last resort if negotiations break down completely". Notwithstanding, the fact that teaching is ant important profession, it is not ani essential service, he said. Mr. Riddell, a former teacher and Huron Board of Education trustee, said that there are many people in Ontario who insist that teachers should not be allowed to strike and are skeptical to the point of disbelief when teachers maintain that their real conccrs are for the quality of education in our schools and not exclusively for their own well being, He told the teachers the public sees them as "over -paid and under -worked and they must convince the people of this provine that although they do meet the standards of professionalism, they should have the sante rights as other people working in areas which are not essential to health and safety of society." The teachers were told that a single professional organization with uniformly high standards would enhance the image of teachers rather than the present fragmented structure which dif- ferentiates between women and men, Roman Catholic and Pro- testant, secondary and element- ary. • "'i'he time has conte for teachers to decide whether they arc professionals or organized labour", Mr. Riddell said. Ont- ario teachers should acquaint the public with their excellent record of responsibility, he said. He spoke of the fact that teachers have been negotiating thousands ()I' contracts with local school boards for the past 20 years, in only a relatively few cases have schools been closed by disputes. -"We believe that in any case where the right to strike is denied, the affected employees must be assured of fair wage settlements through compulsory arbitration. The Provincial ceil- ings on local school board expendiRires are inconsistent with such an assurance. School boards must now justify their financial activities to Tom Wells instead of to the people who elected them. They have no freedom in their contract negot- iations with teachers," he said. . Many taxpayers support the Education Minister's spending ceilings which were established three years ago to limit spiralling education costs which have increased more than school board expenditures during the same period, Mr, Riddell said, He was critical of Education Minister Wells' action in bringing in Bill 274 last December in an attempt to prevent teachers from resigning, as it caused new tension in school board -teacher relations and was withdrawn because of massive opposition to it. Mr,. Riddell said Bill 275 is opposed by trustees as well as teachers, and that "Tom Wells has undermined the autonomy of local school boards and has succeeded in politicizing the teachers as never before in history." "MR, Wells' policies have caused unprecendented disrupt- ions in teachers' contract nego- tiations and he has lost his credibility as Minister of Educa- tion," he skid: , ; The Liberals'eoppose 'many of the Bill's provisions and will work to make changes in the legis- lature, Mr. Riddell assured his audience. He supports keeping teacher -board negotiations a local concern, and rejects the idea of having principals and teachers in separate federations. Mr. Riddell said working conditions and jobs security should be negotiable in teacher -board contracts. Commenting on Mr. Riddell's advice about teachers needing to work for more public support, James Carey of London, a past president ofOECTA who attended the dinner meeting, said his association gives this high prior- ity. He said teachers have to let parents know they have a professional service to offer to the community. "For too long teac- hers have done whatever is asked of them," he said. "Education is a service in which working conditions and wages arc impor- tant." - Mr. Carey said that parents should be more involved in the education process to ensure that responsible people run for board MVCA holds annual meeting The Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority approved a $376,600 budget for 1974 at its annual meeting in Wroxeter recently, a spending increase of $70,000 over last year. Authority chairman Jack Grant of R.R. 2 Gadshill, wtio was acclaimed to his third one-year term, said the increase reflects a $46,000 boost in the capital budget and higher administration costs. Among major capital projects for 1974 is development of di._ 400 -acre Wawanosh Valley con- servation arca in East Wawanosh Township, for which $61,000 has been allocated to cover mostly land acquisition, Channel improvements are scheduled on the upper Middle Maitland River north of Listowel, including continued planning for a dam reservoir as a fllod-prev- cnting measure. Completion of the project is expected over the next five years and could cost $400,000, Other capital expenditures include construction of a maint- ainancc b uilding at the Falls Reserve conservation arca near Benmiller as well as completion.of other services expected to cost a total of $456,000. Aerial photography and gene- ral flood -plain mapping will account for another $25,000, according to Mr. Graul who represents Ellice Township on the 29 -member authority. Of the $376,600 budget, prov- incial grants will account for $253,000. • Marlene Shiell said general levies of the member municipalities will raise $68,000 of the • remaining $123,000, representing an inc- rease of nearly 18 per cent over 1973, About $15,000 is expected in revenue from Falls Reserve gate receipts and through special levies for flood -plain mapping, water resources projects and the upper ' Middle Maitland River program, In approving the budget, the authority also endorsed a prop- osal by its public relations advisory board to initiate a quarterly review as well as regular \Veckly newspaper col- unr1S. Resources manager Richard Hunter said the project, which could eventually include deve- lopment of an adult education program in conjunction with Conestoga College, would in- crease awareness in the water- shed of the work of the authority. "This authority is not that well known," Mr, Hunter "Maybe this .sounds like we,rc trying to promote a corporate image but if we don't sell the authority, no one else will." The authority also will study the ideal of developing a slide display for use in schools and by service clubs and church groups. positions. He also said he would strongly support school board meetings open to the public, perhaps held on a rotating basis in various schools, "And the ratepayers should see that they attend the meetings, No one works well in a vacuum," he added.

In a few short words, it boils down to lack of understanding. Involved in the discussion was James Bullbrook, the M.P.P. for Sarnia, an M.P.P, for the Windsor area, the editor of the Sarnia Observer, and editorial writer for the Windsor Star and Murray Gaunt, local M.P.P. The main impression that came out of the discussion to our mind at lease, was the split between the basically rural and city point of view with ourselves and Mr, Gaunt on the one hand and the Sarnia area people and the Windsor M.P.P. on the other %vith the Windsor writer fairly neutral and with a good understanding of rural problems. The city point of view was that some form of regional govern- ment was needed immediately. Sarnia for example is having real problems with growth right now. The city has extended to its boundaries and has been unable to annex more land. The growth is spreading to neighbouring com- munities in Lambton county and the Sarnia people just don't think these people will be able to cope with it. They seem to have some proof of that too, because apparently, few of the communities in the area have secondary plans, something most of the towns in our area either have or are getting. So Mr, Bullbrook and the Sarnia journalist want regional government to co-ordinate the growth of the area. On quick perusal this seems like a good idea, But Mr. Bullbrook insists this should be a one -tier, not a two-tier set up. In other words, there would be only one council for everyone, not a council for the local municipalities and another for the whole region, One can certainly see the benefits for Sarnia in this. The 1 new regional government would likely be located in the city and would not likely be any more remote or bureaucratic than the present city government. The city would simply gain control over the surrounding area. But the people in the surround- ing towns and townships don't have the capability of dealing with growth and are indeed hostile to peole from the city who move into the area. So there seems to be problems on both sides, rights on both sides and wrongs on both sides, But how are you going to make a new form of government work in the , area if their is not some form of understanding among all the people of the new community. Mr.' Bullbrook's answer to this seemed to be that the city, with the aid of the provincial govern- ment, would simply impose its way of thinking on the area around it, if Mr, Bullbrook can persuade the government to do this, there will be one more case of a regional government in trouble, If he wants a region that will work, he'll have to work a little harder to understand the problems of both sides.

The company, which has it's headquarters in Seaforth, had an underwriting gain of $19,120, This means that the premiums paid by policy holders exceed administrative costs by that amount. McKillop Mutual has a total of over $300,000 in surplus this year, it's 97th year of operation. McKillop Mutual is owned by it's policy holders, They elect direct- ors who make operating decisions for the company. Day to day operation of the company is in charge of Mrs. Margaret Sharp, who has been secretary -treasurer for about eight years. It was 98 years ago last week that an exploratory meeting was held in the Commercial Hotel in Scaforth. The March 3, 1876 Expositor said "For the purpose of considering the advisability of forming a farmers' mutual insurance company". A couple of weeks later at a meeting in the Scaforth Town Hall the McKillop Mutual Fire Insurance Company was formed, Mutual Insurance companies kcere being formed all over Ontario about 100 years ago Farriers' property holdings were increasing and it must have seemed common sense to bind together and insure each other against loss. After its first year of operation in January 1877, the Company had over 400 members, with insurance totalling $462,545. Only one loss, amounting to $115 had been suffered. Ironically, for a Fire insurance Company, in 1932 all the records nt' the Company were destroyed by tire, Back files of the Huron Expositor, along with old docu- ments that people occasionally find and bring in t� Mrs. Sharp's office, arc the only sources for information about the McKillop Mutual's past. We do know that McKillop Mutual has had only seven secretary -treasurers in 98 years -- a pretty good record for hanging on to employees. Losses for 1973-$103,613 - are certainly up from the Company's first year but are considerably 'mere than in 1972. These claims range from 3 major barn fires to 50 assorted losses of under $100 each. McKillop Mutual's president Robert Archibald, told policy holders in the Company's annual report that "Insurance, like everything else is constantly changing". Mr. Archibald added that "Coverages on almost .crop (31 insurance guarantees your production - so you can cover your costs Application deadline is Ma 1st P.A.

McKillop Mutual has always involved farmers from several townships. At the first election of directors in April, 1876, members agreed to pick five directors from McKillop, Tuckersmith and Nut- let. ********* The St. Elias mountains, often termed "Canada's Himalayas" have some mountain climbing advantages that even the best locations in the world don't have. The St. Elias mountains have long daylight hours, sparce vegetation around the approaches to the peaks and they offer rock as well as ice and snow climbing. The 1974 directors are John H. McEwing, Wm. S. Alexander, Ken G. Carnochan, Wm. R. ;Pepper, J.N. Trewartha, John Moylan, and Ross Leonhardt. Stanley Mcllwain is Vice Presi- dent and Mr. Archibald is 'President.

From the Minister's Study, BY REV. CECIL WITTICH Keith Miller who is a Christian layman, writer and lecturer in the United States, says, in his book, "The Becomers", that loneliness is the number one illness in North America, affecting 75 to 90 per cent of the population. Loneliness does not affect just the people who live by themselves. Loneliness can affect anyone. No matter how large our family or the number of people with whom we may associate each day, we can still suffer from a feeling of being alone. Loneliness means being alone with our own feelings and fears. It means not being able or free to share our real selves with others, In that sense we are alone with our inner selves and such loneliness can be devastating. Dr. Jean Rosenbaum, who is referred to ,by Miller in "The Becomers", says that the basic symptoms of loneliness are a sense of despair at feeling unloved and a hidden sense of being unwanted. She says that lonely people live in a world of restless incompleteness and often do destructive things to get rid of their terrors. She goes on to say that to keep our balance of sanity, we must have a sense of belonging to something important or to someone we value. That something to which we can belong and in which we can find a sense of completeness and release from our loneliness is the fellowship of the Christian Church. That one to whom we can belong and value is Jesus Christ who came to liberate us from ourselves that we might enter into the freedom and fulness of new life with him and one another. If you are feeling lonely, and most of us are when we begin to understand ourselves, why not give the Church and Jesus Christ a greater trv. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 13, 1974. PG.21. Regular exercise can reduce high blood pressure New evidence has established that regular exercise can reduce. high blood pressure, sometimes dramatically. Testing and retesting of a representative group of men and women at the Fitness Institute uncovered direct links between physical activity and blood pressure, a primary modern medical problem related closely to heart disease and other serious health hazards. Writing in the January issue of, Sports & Fitness Instructor, a monthly newspaper published by the Institute, Lloyd Percival said the test results showed that "in the vast majority of cases regular exercise, including activity to relax muscle tension, decreases elevated blood pressure". It can also reduce blood pressure considered to be normal to even lower levels, he said. Percival, director of the Insti- tute and . a noted fitness and coaching authority, wrote: "Study of the professional literature and current research in this field indicates that many individuals and physicians are not aware of the preventive and curative benefits of such exercise in relation to blood pressure. It also shows that the incidence of high blood pressure is far greater among sedentary persons than , those who are physically active, and that when a person becomes inactive his blood pressure tends to rise as his fitness level drops even though his life style and weight may remain relatively constant. "Not all types of exercise are effective in decreasing blood pressure. The program, to be effective, must be gradual and progressive. It must include rythmic and relaxing types oft exercise and be designed to stimulate, on a controlled basis, . the heart circulatory system and the oxygen supply ')respiratory) system. "The work of other authorities active in this field has confirmed the Fitness Institute findings. "It is important to realize that exercise and relaxation drills are not the total answer to blood pressure control. Reduction of excess weight, proper nutrition and limiting the intake of hard fats, salt and other foods which the medical profession feels should be consumed in moder- ation or not at all, are other factors.'' Percival presented a typical case history of one of the subjects in the Fitness Institute testing program. Starting with a blood pressure of 190/110, this individ- ual dropped to 165/94 in retesting after six weeks on an exercise program, and 132/78 after 24 weeks.

He had a few cold sores when the picture was taken, They disappeared quickly and, in general, this 7 -year-old is in good health. He has a medical problem, though, because of having swallowed denture powder when he was a little fellow, This caused a stricture in the oesophagus, which requires treatment only when it bothers him. The last treatment was over two years ago. Results of the accident are a speech defect, for which he is receiving help at school, and the need to eliminate acids and vinegar from his diet, Donny is an Ojibway Indian and his language is English. He is slim and tall for his age, a good-looking boy with dark eyes, brown hair and medium complexion. Donny is a most amiable boy who wins affection at first glance. He is curious, friendly and outgoing and he loves people, Ile prefers to play with older children and is delighted when they will include him in baseball or miniature golf, He is a hockey fan, via television. An average student in Grade 1, he likes books, especially if somebody will read to him. Donny needs parents who will appreciate an active young son and who can help him with his speech problem. It will be best if there are older brothers and sisters in the family, To inquire about adopting Donny, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2112, I......Y.....■...........■..M' CARE IN THE HOME COURSES ...........................,.
