Reluctant spring
arrives
Riddell concerned
overpower station
Jack Riddell, M.P,P, for Huron, has
expressed concern about strong rumours
that .Ontario Hydro intends to locate a
nuclear power plant South, of the town of
Goderich in his Riding.
"The proposed nuclear station, together
with the power corridors connecting it to
the grid system will utilize good
agricultural land, and the waste products
from the power plant will adversely affect
crop production in the area," said Mr,
Riddell. •
"We cannot afford to sacrifice prime
agricultural land, which can only lead to
more serious food shortages, and we
cannot afford to ignore the possible threat
to the environment iherent in these nuclear
power plants.
"Ontario Hydro officials have announc-
ed a nuclear expansion programme, but
are reluctant to reveal to the public the
potential dangers of nuclear energy as a
source of power for industrial and
residential purposes, A correlation has
been established between the Incidents of
such diseases as leukemia, cancer, etc. and
the level of natural radio -active materials
to which people are exposed. Ionizing
radiation has been described as the most
serious agent of pollution of the
environment and the greatest threat to
man's survival on earth."
in Mr, Riddell's opinion, "Hydro
officials must be aware of these facts and
they certainly know that every reactor
station must dispose of large quantities of
radio -active waste every year, which 'will
remain radio -active for literally hundreds
of years,
"It's true that the plutonium waste froth
nuclear reactors in Ontario is contained in
1'116110es designed to protect the environ-
ment as much as possible, but the
i•.tdho•adit itv of the plutonium debris will
tali r thr.r Fluriat storage facilities."
Spring, hesitant as It has been, seems finally to have arrived. Whether one looks at the
weather signs, or the signsof activity around us, spring seems to be here. Top left,
some crocus flowers push through old leaves; centre, the Blyth works department
cleans up the town; top right, a Blyth lawn is rolled; bottom right, Blyth's Horticultural
Park gets a clean up.
County education
The budget report will be presented. to
the Huron County Board of Education for
consideration on Monday, April 22. The
meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. when the
Board will meet in committee -of -the -whole
for the first hour, following which the press
will be allowed to sit in on the meeting.
D.J. Cochrane, Director of Education,
said at the regular board meeting, in
Clinton Monday that trustees would be
mailed copies of the budget no later than
Thursday so that each will be able to study
it and be prepared to accept or reject it on
Monday.
Mr. Cochrane asked the trustees what
their reaction would be to having a
committee of trustees, administration, prin
cipals and teachers making some recom-
mendations on field trips, putting field
trips under the microscope, because "field
trips seem to be a topic that we are getting
hung up on".
Wilfred Shortreed, Vice-chairman of the
Board, said "Some schools seem .,to be
coming with more requests than. others for
field trips."
Mr. Cochrane said; "In world affairs 1'
guess we are talking about a royal
commission or a task force,"
J.P. Alexander said that he believed it
was a matter of communications, that when
all things come to the surface it is not what
it seems. HL said that after looking into the
matter "1 ant satisfied". He said he found
out that principals can authorize trips that
do not cost over a certain amount or that
arc short trips, and it is not necessary to
ask the board for permission, In this way,
he said, many schools are sending their
students on field trips about which the
board members are not informed.
Mr,, Cochrane said, "That would cone
out of this study,"
The question of whether all schools are
participating to the full extent of the money "
allowed them fot field trips has been raised
at the last two board meetings by John
Henderson and Mrs, Mollie Kunder both

Tornado
knocks out
area power
A twister that hit the Seaforth-Dublin
area Sunday afternoon caused a three-hour
power blackout in Blyth and much of Huron
and Perth counties.
The tornado uprooted trees and
destroyed several barns in the Hibbert
township arca. A house trailer where a
family was celebrating Easter was flipped
over and crushed. No one was seriously
hurt.
But the most far reaching fleet of the
storm cane when the wind knocked over
five high tension electrical transmission
towers.
Power was restored after about three
hours but Ontario Hydro crews have been
working to have temporary power lines up
to replace the five transmission line towers
toppled by the heavy winds near St.
Columban.
The commission expects damage to its
line will run between $250,000 and
$500,000. •
Each of the five 130 -foot -tall towers costs
approximately $40,000, officials said.
Even though all power was restored by
late Sunday, officials said many of the
areas could be hit by blackouts if there
were a high power demand.
"But our peak months are in December
and January," a spokesman said. "There
shouldn't be too much trouble because we
can handle normal power demands,"
Communities without power Sunday
were Stratford, Dublin, Brussels, Blyth,
Clinton, Mitchell, Bayfield, Goderich,
Sebringville, Hurondale and parts of
Exeter and Hensall.

Separate School Board plans, pilot course on Family Life
BY WILMA OKE
The Huron -Perth County Roman Cath-
olic Separate School Board is preparing to
initiate a pilot mini course in Family Life
Instruction, on a optional basis, to all
Grade 8 students in the 19 separate schools
in Huron and Perth Counties.
The Board agreed that the opportunity
be given those Grade 7 students who arc in
a combined Grade 7 and 8 class, to take the
course also.
Joseph Tokar, Assistant Superintendent
of Education, outlined to the board
members the course content which had
been determined by a committee of
trustees, clergy, teachers, and parents. He
stated it was "a broad program" and that
the clergy had been involved in selecting
the material to be used. He explained that
there had been concern because there was
no such program for the Grade 8 students
and this was the arca where parents were
in general agreement for it.
Mr. Tokar outlined the course which will
deal with the physical changes that• take
place in young people, fatherhood,
motherhood, personality, emotions, dat-
ing, posture, grooming, fashion, alcohol,
smoking and drugs and the meaning and
Hullett Central School
holds achievement tests
During the month of April Mr.
Riley, guidance teacher at Hullett
Central School, has been visiting

uage and mathematics. The tests
are to determine how each
student is progressing in each
area.

Central School on Thursday, April
11, Miss Witties grade two class

stood to sing O'Canada as an
introduction of the assembly. A
play entitled Mrs, Bunny's Easter
Bonnet was acted by the following
people in the cast; Mrs. Bunny;
Sharon Glousher; Mr. Bunny,
qualities of love,
Mr.tokar said the course will be outlined
to the principals and Grade 8 teachers from
each school and the clergy, and they would
form a team in their own schools to explain
the program at a meeting of parents. The
parents would be able to approve the
course for their children or opt out.
Mr, Tokar said the 22 lessons are to start
on May 21 and end about June 25. He said
he would give a report on the program by
the end of September.
The Board released the salaries of the

Get ready to squeeze
A way of life is about to change in the towns and villages of Huron
county.
We have been used, in the past, to plenty of open space and green
grass around our homes in the urban areas of the county in the more
than 100 years since these towns came into being, but the day is not far
off when that green space may disappear.
Our expanding population is corning face to face with the need to
conserve valuable farmland and the result is going to be a squeeze on
the size of building lots and a change in the style of housing being
built.
Already, in some centres like Goderich and Wingham, the
townhouse has made its appearance, setting house against house
beside house and cramming far more living quarters into the same
amount of land. The apartment building is becoming more and more
prominent in the larger towns,
We in Blyth have been used to lots of at least a quarter acre in size,
but for the new homes of the future this will likely change. One reason
is that the village has only'so much land and has to use it to the best of
its capabilities. Another reason is that with the coming of sewers, lots
will not need to be so large for septic tanks and indeed the large lots
mean more sewer pipe is needed thus driving sewer costs up, unless
the size of building lots is reduced.
Five years ago, running out of land in a town would have been a very
small problem. The towns would simply move to annex a few
neighbouring farms and surveyed more lots. Now, however, we have
become concerned about the amount of good land being used for
housing developments, highways, shopping centres and parking lots
instead of production of food. So we, in the midst of one of the last good
farming areas in the province have to set a good example, and that
means leaving good farmland for farming.
Few, I think, look forward with pleasure to the days when our
smaller towns (at least in the new housing areas) will look more like the
cramped subdivisions of the cities than like the spacious towns we are
used to, But like it or not, something must be done. Better to be a little
cramped than a little hungry.
Million dollar greed
Remember a few short months ago when the discontent was running
high in Ontario and the West over the Olympics going to Montreal?
Remember all the morons who said things like "that Drapeau always
gets everything and gets us to pay for it?" Remember the anti -French
Canadian sentiment the whole thing seemed to brew?
Where was it last Monday night when the first Olympic lottery draw
was made and millions of people glued their eyes on the television set
to see if they would become instantly rich? Where was the resentment?
Where was the bigotry?
Oh Canadians are wonderful people. Ask them to pay a couple of
dollars in taxes toward a good cause, and they reach the brink of
rebellion. Offer them an elusive chance to get rich in return for
spending $10, and they'll jump at it like heck.
Subsidies forever
The opposition parties were squealing in the Commons the other day
about the increased cost of milk and demanding the government bring
in subsidies to keep the cost down.
Frankly, it's time this whole subsidy thing was thrown out. Why
create one problem to solve another?
For many years the farmers of Canada have had to put up with the
frustration and embarrassment of subsidies and been looked down
upon by city consumers for it. Let's get rid of the subsidy bag forever
and let the consumer pay the price that the product deserves,
If the poor need help, let's really give it to them by improving their
lot, not putting a bandage on the problem with another subsidy that
will only save them a few cents a week anyway.
Planningmust get'going
At a recent meeting of the village council, Reeve Robbie Lawrie
suggested that the Blyth Planning Board should start meeting and
dealing with the problems of the future planning of the village. It was
an excellent suggestion that should be acted upon without delay.
The view of planning in the village seems to have been in the past
year or so, that nbthing can be done until the county planning
department is ready to begin the official plan for the village. Cetainly,
there will be no official plan until the planners get to work, but much of
the preliminary work can be being done by the planning board right
now, with the occasional advice of the county planners. And certainly,
some unofficial plan is needed at once.
Few would have anticipated a few short years ago, the kind of growth
that is being expected in the next year or so. The building of a nuclear
power station in Huron county could make the present growth rate look
insignificant in the next few years. We need some idea of where we are
going.
At present, council is being bombarded with proposals to sever this
or that piece of property for housing. With so many other problems to
be looked after, they haven't the time to really look into the future. The
planning board could undertake this function and do a great deal of
service to the village.
It's time to get the board off paper and into action.

Hydro official disputes
farmer's claim
The Editor:
In a recent issue you quoted a number of
observations of Bruce Nunn, R.R. 2,
Palmerston which were critical of Ontario
Hydro. While we have no quarrel with Mr.
Nunn expressing his\.opinion, we feel that it
is only right to outlrne some facts.
Mr. Nunn cites as an example for his
observations a Mr. Somerville of Ancaster
township, saying that he lost all his best
land to Hydro.
Mr. Somerville has a 150 -acre farm, of
which about 125 acres are arable. Hydro
purchased about 42 acres of the farm, but
very little of this is lost to productivity since
Mr. Somerville licences this property back
from Hydro at a nominal sum.
It did not take three years from first
contacting Mr. Somerville to final
settlement. Hydro's Property Division first
contacted Mr. Somerville on September 16,
1970. Mr. Somerville signed an offer to sell
November 9, 1971 and the matter was
closed and the deed registered August 9,
1972.
No grain bin or steel drive shed were
affected by the purchase, only a corn crib,
for which Mr. Somerville was compensat-
ed and in fact still uses.
Mr. Somerville is an intelligent,
well-informed farmer and hardly the type
of person to sell his farmland for half its
value as Mr. Nunn suggests.
Mr. Nunn is correct in saying that our
initial offer to Mr. Harris of Vespra
township was $9,000, which was based on
an independent appraisal and that the
Board of Arbitration awarded approximat
ely $12,000.
He is also Sight in saying Hydro is
planning three more lines on the right of
' way through Mr. Harris' land, but he
will not lose all his buildings and possibly
his house. Hydro widened the original
right of way for these additional lines but
we compensated him for the land and thge
cost of replacing a small barn and silo. The
Harris house will not be disturbed.
We appreciate that our tower lines do
create problems to a farmer, but, we do not
create the effect portrayed by Mr. Nunn of
empty farm houses, empty barns and
skeletons of gutter cleaners.
Yours truly,
N.J. McMurtrie

PENSION CHANGES
Health and Welfare Minister
Marc Lalonde introduced in the
House of Commons amendments
to the Canada Pension Plan to
establish equal treatment for
male and female contributors and
beneficiaries.

the Bill will provide a "survivors'
pension" to widowers on the
same conditions it is now being
paid to widows,
The Bill will also enable
children's benefits to be paid, on
the disability or death of female
contributors, on the same basis as
they are now paid with respect to
male contributors.
In addition, the amendments
will ablolish the earnings test now
required for persons aged 65 to 69

Canada Pension Plan benefits
whether or not, they continue to
work and receive wages.

White brings down 1974 budget
BY MURRAY GAUNT* M.P.P.
iHURON•BRUCE1
The big news this week at the
Legislature was the presentation
of the budget by Treasurer John
White,
Mr. White imposed stiff new
taxes on land and property
speculators, The amount of the
tax will amount to a 50 per cent
tax on any land or house sales
profits deemed by the Province as
in excess of real value.
THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 17, 1974. PG. 5
Mr, White said speculation in
real estate bids up prices
artificially, increases the cost of
housing and generates unwar-
ranted windfall gains,
Ontario pensioners, blind and
disabled will be paid the highest
guaranteed annual income in
Canada $2,600 for singles. and
$5,200 for couples from July 1st.
The Treasurer said the Pro-
vince also will pay drug costs for
about 641,000 people receiving
federal guaranteed income sup-
plements, family benefits and
welfare payments beginning Sep-
tember 1st at a cost of $20 million
a year.
The new income supplements
provide for a maximum payment
by Ontario of $25.61 a month for
single pensioners and, $68,84 for
couples. With existing federal old
age security and guaranteed
income supplements a single
pensioners' minimum monthly
income will be raised to $216,67
and for married couples, to
$433,33,
There will be an end to retail
sales tax on a wide range of
household cleaning materials and
personal litems like toothpaste,
soap and shaving creams. Also
affected will be shoes, skates and
athletic footwear costing less
than $30,
Other main points of the
budget include:
1. An increase in Ontario Tax
Credits on the 1974 tax returns for
those earning about $13,000 or
less a year.
2. A new Provincial body called
the Ontario Land Corporation will
be created to stimulate acquisit-
ion and development of land for
industrial and residential pur-
poses. It will be administered
along the lines of Ontario Hydro.
3. increased grants to municipal-
ities to encourage water and
sewer projects to make more
serviced Tots available for resi-
dential development.
4. Tax credits for small
businesses to encourage expan-
sion.
5. The raising of the existing land
transfer tax to 19 per cent for
non-residents,
Mr, White said the Govern-
ment is introducing a small
business tax credit and plans to
set up a Venture Investment
Corporation to help in the
financing of small businesses,
He said the tax credit is
designed to encourage the growth
of active Canadian controlled
provate corporations which qual-
The nation
The land is at last feeling it is strong
BY RiCHARD GWYN
History is on the turn in Canada. You
cannot prove such a statement by hard
facts, nor can you chart its progress by
statistics. You either feel it or you don't;
you accept it or you do not.
We rcachcd a peak at Expo, and then,
inexplicably and quickly, we lost our
self-confidence. Today that self-confidence
is returning. We know we have oil, that we
have minerals, that we grow more food
than we consume, We know we arc even
beginning to buy back our own economy
(34 per cent foreign-owned in 1973
compared to 36 per cent two years ago).
We do have inflation but less acutely sc
than our rivals, the United States, B ritain.
France, Japan. We have an unstable
minority Parliament, but it governs more
effectively than its counterparts in the
United States or Britain or West Germany.
By the luck of being a journalist l.havc
been able to travel the country, from
Newfoundland to Alberta. 1 found the new
mood of self-contidcnce strongest at the
estremitics and in the middle, in Quebec.
Newfoundland, Alberta and Quebec
share, in quite different ways, an historic
sense of inferiority. Newfoundland's '
traditional burden has been poverty;
Alberta's has been a conviction of being
looked down upon by the East as somehow
culturally second class; Quebec's burden
has been the "anguish" (to use
Communications Minister Gerard Pellet-
ier's word) produced b y a desperate battle
for survival and by the suffocating weight
of English -Canadian economic and com-
mercial superiority.
Each of these provinces, again in quite
different ways, is losing its sense of
inferiority. Newfoundland, finally, has
realized it is heir to a character and a way
of life that almost every visitor envies.
Alberta has discovered it owns not just oil
but the power to bargain as an equal with
the rest of the country.
The most dramatic transformation is in
Quebec. After a long, post -Expo lull,
construciton is booming in Montreal and
quebec city. Young Quebeckers have
replaced their passion for politics and for
endless, ultimately sterile, debates about
Confederation and about language with a
passion to acquire skills to compete, as
engineers, businessmen, accountants,
lawyers.
We arc even becoming confident enough
to criticize ourselves, Robert Fulford,
editor of Saturday Night magazine, wrote
recently that several Canadian cultural
productions have been over -praised,
including "a mostly tedious" The National
Dream. "Canadian culture," warned
Fulford, "has to avoid an age of oversell."
Toronto Star columnist Dennis Braith-
waite interpreted Fulford's admissions to
mean "the beginning of the end of
Canadian nationalism." 1 judge instead
that nationalism has rcachcd the end of the
beginning. We have gone through two
stages: The first, until about the early '60s,
when nothing Canadian could be good; the
second, until now, when almost everything
Canatlian hail to be good. The third stage,
in which we can admit that Canadian art or
anything else can be both good and bad, is
that of maturity.
Much of what is happening in Canada
has been by luck. We learned new social
trends from the United States but did not
import that society's, polarization nor,
today. its political trauma. Our resources
have made rich. In 1965 only 14 per cent of
Canadian families had incomes of $10,000
or more; today almost 50 per cent have
crossed above the Live -figure mark,
"Canadian society has entered a period
of stability," said Welfare Minister Marc
Lalonde in a recent speech. "We have
some time to think about where we are
going, and about where we want to go."
Many issues need attention. Two I think
deserve priority;
ify for the federal small business
deduction, such corporation's will
be entitled to an income tax credit
equal to five per cent of the
increase in their Capital in
Ontario to a maximum of 53,000
annually.
Essentially the budget was a
cost of living award to the lower
and middle income people of
Ontario,
This week also saw the
installation of Mrs, Pauline
McGibbon as the new Lieutenant
Governor of Ontario. Mrs, Mc-
Gibbon is the first woman to hold
a vice -regal position in Canada.
She was the former Chancellor of
the University of Toronto and still
holds the positions of chairman-
ship of the board of Women's
College Hospital and President of
the Canadian Conference of Arts.
•-Urban re -building. E.N. cpt in the core
of Toronto, where there are temporary
controls, all our cities are under siege. OUr
two most distinctive cities. Montreal and
St. John's Nfld., are being vandalized by
developers. So is the centre of Ottawa. We
are building today the cities which we will
live in for the rest of this century and the
21st century, and we are doing this before
we have decided the kind of cities a want
to live in.
--Public and private partnership. The oil
crisis gave governments the courage to
redefine what they meant by a public
resource, and to begin to include in that
category petroleum and minerals. Land
also is a public resource: Its cost in cities
has become an outrage; in the countryside,
private holdings conflict with the expand-
ing public demand for access to recreation
areas. Yet private enterprise remdins the
essential dynamo of productivity and
efficiency,
Governments will have to develop new
partnerships that combine private initiative
and public interest.
History is turning in Canada by its own
weight. We have the chance, if we take it,
to decide the direction in which we want
our future history to go.

The world
Tiny island centre of possible new arms race
BY ROBERT MANNING
American attempts to secure a toehold in
the Indian Ocean - on a tiny speck of land
called Diego Garcia island - have touched
off fears that a new international arms race
is brewing in the arca.
Under an agreement in Britain, which
owns the island, the United States wants to
spend $29 million to expand harbor and
airstrip. facilities on the British -owned
island located 1,400 miles southwest of
India.
The aim is to counter a Soviet naval
build-up which is expected to follow the
reopening of the Sucz Canal sometime this
summer,
The proposal has run into opposition on
three fronts; frons the Soviets; from India,
which fears that a big•pto•er arms race
there would overshadow its own naval
presence; and from doves in the U.S.
Congress, who this week pushed through a
measure in the Senate foreign relations
committee requiring specific congressional
approval for major new U.S. bases
overseas.
Most strategists agree that the area
bordering the Indian Ocean has vast
economic potential- and that Diego Garcia,
which controls major shipping lanes, would
be as important. to the United States as
Puerto Rico was when the Panama Canal
opened. One-third of the world's pop-
ulation lives on the fringes of the 28 million
square -utiles of the Indian Ocean.
Rocco Paonc, a professor at the U.S.
naval academy, has termed the arca the
newest "heartland of the world".
1
The area, he says includes much of the
untapped mineral, agricultural, and forest
resources of some of the most fertile'
regions of Africa...Along the northwest
' border is concentrated 60 per cent of
known world oil reserves. The northern
portion includes the manpower resources
of India. and on its eastern and
south-eastern areas are located the
enormous riches of the East Indies and the
rapidly developing continent of Australia,"
Apart from this, the Middle East may
well become a new focal point of concern
for Western security. The small U.S. naval
contingent in the Persian Gulf State of
Bahrain -the only port available to the U.S.
in the arca-may soon be expelled since the
ruling emir exercised his perrogative in the
heat of the October %var not to1renew the
lease.
The opening of the Sucz Canal, expected
by many as early as June,. will certainly
step up the economic activity of the area,
but a,: the large supertankers which carry
most of the oil through the Indian Ocean
arc too big for the canal, the main concern
over the reopening is strategic.
Before the October war, the Soviet Union
had a fleet of 15 ships in the area; now they
have 30. In sharp contrast the U.S. only
has a small three -ship fleet in. Bahrain.
Although the Soviet has no official base
in the arca, they have gained strong
footholds in Somalia, Bangladesh, South
Yemen and Iraq and at present have use of
port facilities in all these countries.
Soviet ships now must travel more than
10,000 miles from the Black Sca, through
the Mediterranean and around the Cape of
Good Hope to get to the Indian Ocean. The
opening of Suez would reduce this distance
to 2,200 miles. -
The Soviet Union has already launched a
massive prcs campaign proclaiming that
American designs , on the arca are not a
response to the Soviet "menace", but are a
measure of the Pentagon's intention to
create for itself a military stronghold with
far-reaching aims.
There has been some domestic opposi-
tion in the U.S. to the build-up on Diego
Garcia. Senator Claiborne Pell, a Rhode
Island Democrat, has sponsored a bill to
ban the $29 million military appropriation,
charging the proposal is "a Paviovian U.S.
response that would stimulate the very
Soviet threat we fear, and precipitate an
escalation in the costly arms race which we
can both ill -afford.
Most of the opposition so far however,
has come from India, which has demanded
that the entire Indian Ocean be declared a
"zone of peace" • thus making it off limits
to foreign warships.
To win support for its view, Indian has
launched a diplomatic offensive, lining up
such normally pro -American countries as
Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and
Malaysia in the chorus of protests against a
Diego Garcia naval facility.
Under the proposed ban on foreign
men-of-war, India with her one aircraft
carrier, two cruisers six destroyers, 21
firgatcs and four patrol submarines would
be default assume a permanent role as the
leading naval power in the South Asian
region,
"Twenty-eight countries in the Indian
Ocean arca have memories of the white
pian ruling us," said a well-placed Indian
government source. "The Americans say
they want a balance with the Soviet Union.
Well, you can have balance at a high level,
or at a minimum level. India is advising a
balance of no level."

Sport Talk '
Big deal no big deal
BY SANDY
Ho-hum.
Pardon us if we yawn while the rest of the world appears to go crazy
over the signing of the three Miami Dolphins by Toronto Northmen of
the World Football League. Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield and Jim Kiick
turned the U.S. sport world upside down on Sunday by signing to play
with the NOrthmen in the 1975 season.
The Toronto writers went gaga over the event but frankly we, and we
suspect the majority of Canadian football fans, couldn't give a darn.
When the threesome went out on the town in Toronto on Saturday
night, few people even knew who they were. Despite their pictures in
every paper and every television screen, they could still walk down
Yonge Street today and still not likely be recognized by more than one
or two people.
The love affair with American football is something carried on more
by the press in Canada than the fans. Listen to the radio or look at the
sport section of your newspaper and you'd think Canadian fans hung
on every event that takes place in the NFL and really only took
Canadian football because they couldn't get American teams. Yet
whenever an N.F.L. game and a C.F.L. game hit head-on on television,
it's the NFL game that gets clobbered, even though there are more
homes in Canada that can get CBC (which carries the NFL) compared
to the CTV (which carries the CFL).
Surveys have also shown that Canadian football fans prefer CFL over
NFL.
Frankly, here's one fan who's fed up with all the hoopla over the NFL
and the WFL. The way the press carries on, you'd think that Larry
Csonka was the only guy around who knows how to put a football under
his arm and run. There are other stars in the U.S. and probably the
greatest runner of all is right here in Canada, a guy named George
Reed, who holds all the professional rushing records. Let's not forget
that one of the guys who held many rushing records in the U.S. was a
guy named Cookie Gilchrist who also palyed for several teams in
Canada and played well, but was more successful in the highblown
U.S. leagues than he was against the tough Canadian league defences.
We're getting fed up with the kick in the teeth that the CFL is getting
in the rush by the press to glamorize the NFL and the new WFL.
Johnnie F.Bassett, of course loves the free publicity he's getting, but
even he must be wondering why his football team that hasn't even held
one practice, gets all the headlines for weeks on end, while his hockey
team that is playing a good brand of hockey and is in second place in
the league, can hardly get any attention at all.
. Frankly, it's because our sportswriters, who seem to have a very low
IQ, can't see past the glamour of the big league tag of the U.S. leagues
long enough to see the exciting play offered by so called "second rate"
leagues like the CFL and WHA.

From the Minister's

THE REV. FRED CARSON
Jesus Christ is risen! His scarred body no longer remains in the tomb
that was given for His final resting place. He is risen, indeed!
Three days after the crucifixion, nothing remained in the cold damp
grave but the rags that were used to bind Him, He was'nowhere to be
seen when Simon Peter and"the other disciple whom He loved"
entered the tomb, Why? Where was this Jesus -• this "King of the
Jews"? Needless to say, there was much speculation surrounding this
event. But the disciples were soon to be shown the truth which was to
give Christianity its credibility.
The disciples were in for a pleasant surprise. Their lives would be
entirely and completely changed when Jesus appeared to them, They
would be give new hope, true life, and the assurance of salvation.
Jesus Christ gave His early followers the means by which to proclaim
the Good News even unto death if necessary. Jesus breathed on them
and they received the Holy Spirit.
We, too, have the hope which God has given to us through the
resurrection of our Lord. It was necessary for Him to assume our sins
for which He suffered death, but this is only part of the wonderful gift
of salvation, because if he had simply died, we would continue to be
dead in our sins and without hope. Jesus would have been dead, and so
would His Church. But when He defeated the clutches of the grave, He
gave man new hope - the hope which assures us of having life
abundantly on earth as we proceed towards the eternal life which
awaits us when we complete our sojourn in this world,
We should continually rejoice over the events of the past few days,
We should always give thanks to God for the great sacrifice that God
made for us upon the Cross. And let us praise Jesus for giving us the
hope which is ours in the glorious resurrection. Each of ,. Inas the way
of salvation open to us when we acknowledge Christ as our Lord and
Saviour. Jesus Christ is risen! He lives awaiting our invitation to enter
our hearts and cleanse us of the darkness that separates us from our
Creator. Does Jesus live in your heart? if not, why not?

Huron tourist association
to promote tourism in county
A meeting was held at Hully
Gully Recreation Centre on
Wednesday, April 10, of persons
interested in promoting tourism
within Huron County.
The meeting was called by the
Huron County Development Of-
ficer, Mr. Spence Cummings, to
see if there was an interest b y the
operators of tourist establish-
ments in promoting tourism
collectively,
At the meeting there were 25
people from a cross-section of
businesses in the County. It was
generally conceded that a need
exists for an organization .which
can promote the visitor industry
within the County. A motion was
passed approving the formation
'of a Tourist and, Business
Association. The group decided to
hold another meeting for the
purpose of electing an executive,
All present members expressed a
willingness to bring two or three
other business people to the next
meeting.
The main point brought out
during the meeting concerned
"who should be interested in
such an association". Mr. Currie,
a Wingham businessman, re-
flected that not only hotels,
motels, campsites and restaur-
ants should be interested but
each small business in each town
and village should be interested
because of the extra revenue the
summer trade brings to their
stores. He further emphasized
that many local farms benefit
through the sales of produce,
either directly or indirectly, to the
visitor.
Mr. Cummings explained that
the province has formed a
Southwestern Ontario Travel
Association. This association will
promote the eight county regions,

comprising Huron, Perth, Oxford,

Essex, and Elgin, in the United
States and Canadian areas, to
make the tourist conscious of the
advantages of holidaying in
Southwestern Ontario, This travel
association will not be effective in
1974 but should be in full
operation for the 1975 tourist
season, This association will have
funding from the Ontario Gov-
ernment, but he explained that a
local association will have to look
for funding from their member-
ship and local municipalities.
A further meeting has been
called for 8 p.m. on April 23, at
Hully Gully Recreation Centre
which has been kindly donated by
Mr, Randy Collins, the propri-
etor. At this meeting there will be
an election of officers, approval of
objectives, approval of the cons-
titution and by-laws,
The sleeting agreed that those
who should attend the next
meeting are persons who benefit
directly or indirectly from the
tourist industry. Those people
who benefit directly are hotel
operators, motel operators,
campground operators, or anyone
who receives direct tourist
dollars, The indirect beneficiaries
arc businessmen in general,
whether they sell food, shelter or
commodities. There may also be
many private individuals who
have an interest in attending a
meeting of the newly formed
association.

would feel if you got a wrong
number and overheard two men
plotting a murder...yours. What
would you do? How would you
react?
It could never happen? Well, in
Lucille Fletcher's 'Sorry, Wrong
Number" it does,
"Sorry, Wrong Number" since
it was first written in 1952 has
appeared and re -appeared as a
radio thriller, a television drama
and a movie. It has been recorded

Number" forms part of a three

Provincial government takes over
septic tank inspection
Responsibility for approval of
private sewage installations such
as septic tanks will be transfer-
red, as of April 15, from Ontario's
local helath units to the Ministry
of the Environment, the Honour-
able William Newman announced
today.
"it is the intention of the
government to proclaim Part VII
of the Environmental Protection
Act, 1971, on April 15, bringing
into force, regulations establish-
ing uniform provincial standards
for private sewage disposal
systems." Mr. Newman stated.
The Ministry of the Environment
will be responsible for the
inspection and control of all
systems in the province.
Mr. Newman emphasized that
these changes would have no
effect on systems already instal-
led and operating, but would
cover future installations.
This approval and inspection
program will be carried out in
three ways, First, where possible,
it will be handled by Ministry
staff. Secondly, in some cases,
due to shortages of trained
personnel, the Ministry will enter
into agreements with local health
authorities to continue this
program on its behalf.
"This will be a temporary
measure until the number of
Ministry inspectors is sufficient to
perform this service; we see the
maximum length of such agree-
ments being three years," the
Minister underlined.
Thirdly, in areas where there
are regional governments, Mr.
Newman outlined plans o have
the Medical Officers of ijealth
cary on this function until the
regional government can acquire
the necessary people, "it is our
intention that these inspections
and approvals would be handled
by the regional governments
concerned," he added.
Under the new provincial
standards, a certificate of, ap-
proval would be required before
construction could begin on a new
private sewage disposal system,
or any building served by such a
system. After construction, the
installation would be inspected to
ensure it complied with the plans
originally approved and a use
permit issued. Processing of an
application would cost $15 includ-
ing inspections and issuance of a
use permit.
Also, under Part ViI, and the
accompanying regulations, will
be provision for the Ministry to
evaluate the suitability of land
proposed for subdivision where
this land would be served by
private sewage systems. There
would be a fee of $10 per lot for
this assessment and evaluation.
At present, the Minister noted,
"there are widely differing
standards being applied across
the province; but with the
proclamation of Part VII, this
condition will be, rectified."
"Both the Ministry of the
Environment and the health units
are currently responsible for
various aspects of approval,
maintenance and upgrading of
private sewage disposal facilities.

TOWNSHIP OF MORRIS
AUDITOR'S REPORT
To The Members of Council, Inhabitants and Ratepayers of the Township of Morris
We have examined the 1973 financial statements of the Township of Morris which
are listed on the attached Index. Our examination included a general review of the
accounting procedures and such tests of accounting records and other supporting
evidence as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the financial position of the
Township as at December 31, 1973 and the results of its operations for the year then
ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for Ontario
municipalities on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

PG. 16. THE BLYTH STANDARD,, APRIL 17, 1974.
Have you ever been a VIP? As a
matter of democratic principle,
I'm solidly against special treat-
ment for anybody. But when it
came to practice, I found it
delightful, and wondered what
the poor people were doing
tonight.
It has never happened to me
before, and probably never will
again, so 1 want to get the
experience down here for post-
erity and my grandchildren.
It happened during my recent
trip to Germany, courtesty of the
Department of National Defence.
Hold it, you taxpayers. It ,didn't
cost you a nickel. The plane was
going anyway, and I was told I'd
have to pay my own expenses
over -seas. Fair enough.
The invitation was very casual,
and there were no strings
attached, though the Department
knew I write a syndicated column.
But I could have gone to Germany
spent three days in a beer -hall,
written nothing, and no questions
asked. I chose to do otherwise.
Thus, 1 had a quick, but
enlightening look at that comp-
aratively recent hybrid, the
Canadian ARmed Forces, the
rather pallid name chosen by Paul
' Hellyer, when, as Minister of
Defence, he integrated the Royal
Canadian Navy, the Canadian
Armyh, and the Royal Canadian
Air Force.
That was a bitter time for those
in the service, as each branch had
its special pride and traditions,
. and foresaw these being swept
away in the integration process.
Many of them were, and the
bitterness has not completely
dissolved.
But it probably made sense.
There is only one uniform now, a
reasonably attractive dark green.
There are no more Group
Captains or Lieutenant -Com-
manders. Army titles are used
throughout.
At any rate, these were the
people 1 got tangled with for a few
days which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I talked with all ranks from
corporal to Brigadier -General. I
couldn't find a private, and still
wonder if there are any left in the
service. Generally, I found them
friendly, courteous, reasonably
happy in the forces, and keen on
their jobs. It was quite a change
from the "rude and licentious
soldiery" of wartime, with its
constant grousing and grumbling.
I ',egan my pilgrimage as a
VUP (Very Unimportant Person),
just my usual self. Up at 7:30 and
a long, cold, boring bus ride to
Trenton, Hours to wait for my
flight. Nothing to do. Tired
already. Blizzard outside, Every-
thing fairly typical, in other
words.
In despair, I asked a couple of

I went into it, expecting to be

young pilot in there looked a bit
surprised, but pleasantly asked if
1'd like some coffee, We
exchanged a few remarks. I told
him who I was and where 1 was

incredulity, 1 discovered that I

Watch for post -calving
problems in cattle
Many calves will be born in the
next month or so, and producers
should be aware of two post -pre-
gnancy problems, particularly
milk fever and acetonemia or
ketosis, since both can be fatal,
Because milk fever and ketosis
can resemble other problems,
such as rabies, magnesium
deficiency or a limb or nerve
injury to the hindquarters as a
result of calving, it is important
that the problem be diagnosed as
quickly and as accurately as
possible, warns Dr. D. Davis,
cattle diseases specialist with the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food.
Milk fever, a condition result-
ing from the lack of calcium in the
blood, usually occurs from 12 to
40 hours after calving. Affected
cows may stagger and be
unco-ordinated; or they may just
fall down in a comatose condition,
unable to rise, Dairy cows in their
second, third and fourth lactation
are most susceptible to this
problem,
"It's important, if you have a
cow showing trembling of leg
musceles or staggers, that you
contact a veterinarian immed-
iately. Untreated cows can die
fairly quickly," urges Dr. Davies.
Treatment involves replacing the
calcium lacking in the blood.
There are some management
procedures that might help
prevent milk fever. First, cows
should receive adequate amounts
of vitamin D3, either in a feed
supplement or as a therapeutic
injection. A good calcium/phos-
phorus balance prior to calving is
essential. Producers should also
be aware that too much or all of
the milk being taken after calving

Inc think that some people have
ideas in their food eating habits
and are willing to pay much more
for food than less concerned
people do.
On the other hand, .now that
beef grown with the help of
hormones, that could theoretical-
ly cause cancer, is banned from
our shores, one hears more about
a possible price increase than
about a possible cancer death.

Not many pcoplc are too
concerned about the reports that
there is only enough wheat in the
world today to feed this world for
one, 1 repeat one month. It is
frightening. One world wide crop
failure, or near failure, and
literally millions upon millions of
people will starve to death.
Most everyone knows that now,
at this very moment, hundreds of
thousands of Africans arc starv-
ing. We, the rich peoples, go
right on squandering our
resources that grow food.
Another reason for food short-
ages is the fact that there is so
much opposition against ingred-
ients to preserve food from
spoilage, It could presumably
cause something or other if eaten
in great quantities, so we rather
let it rot, I heard mention that
one-third of all food spoils for this
reason.
*****
Beef prices in the North West
Territories arc so high that
people can't afford to buy it. Now
they turn to the hunters for
caribou meat. The Indian leaders
arc worried that the Caribou may
be huntcu to extinction, if this
keeps up. •
Marion Brockin, of the Con-
sumers Association of Canada is
one of those women who claim to
come from a farming arca
(Lucknow). If she did, she
certainly wasn't very observant,
for she keeps on attacking
farmers.
The last 1 heard of her was that
consumers can't go on indefinite-
ly subsidizing agriculture. For
heavens sake, can't one of her
fellow CACs sat her straight that
agriculture has been subsidizing
consumers for a hunched years?

Food prices are up, what? Look
at running shoes, They are up 60
per cent and before the year is out
further increases arc expected.
could precipitate milk fever
conditions,
"Acetonemia, or ketosis, is
another serious problem occur-
ring two to six weeks after
calving. The condition is due to
the break -down of the fatty acids
in the body and the formation of
higher levels of ketones in the
blood," says Dr, Davis,
Symptoms of acetonemia, a
metabolic disease which may
appear alone or following other
problems such as a retained
placenta, show in the cow losing
flesh rapidly, and acquiring a
gaunt appearance. The cow will
also have a typical "acetone"
odor to its breath and/or milk.
Untreated, cows"waste away
and die", The disease requires
fast supportive treatment with
dextrose, propylene glycol or
cortisone preparations.
Good management of dry cows
is a good preventive against
ketosis, Cows should not be kept
too fat; neither should they be
subjected to prolonged energy
feeding. Instead, increase energy
feeding just prior to calving so
that the cow is receiving a proper
Icvcl of TDN.
Fast and accurate diagnosis is
the first step to avoiding death
loss due to milk fever or ketosis,
Dr. Davis suggests. If symptoms
appear, contact a veterinarian
immediately so that treatment
can be started,

Behind the scenes
What is inflation?
BY KEITH ROULSTON
Inflation—the word dominates
everything these days.
It's screamed from the head-
lines, beaten to death on the
newscasts and brought into
nearly every street -corner conver-
sation that lasts longer than
"Hello, nice day isn't it."
Like unemployment a couple of
years back, you get tired of
hearing about it, but unlike
unemployment you can't get
away from it, because it hurts'
each and all of us, not just a small
percentage of the population.
Inflation has become hysteria
and the screaming has gotten in
the way of clear thinking about.
Unfortunately, every time the
price of anything goes up now,
it's called inflation. It leads to a
great deal of unfair comment.
Two things have attracted the
attention of most people concern,
ed about inflation: the cost of food
and the increase in the,price of oil
and petroleum products. The two
things directly show the differ-
ence between what IS inflation
and what is called inflation but is
not.
The price of petroleum prod-
ucts
has shot up by a fantastic
amount in the past year with no
real reason. Sure the Arab oil
boycott helped, but really it was
just an excuse for the oil
companies to cry poor. Most of
our oil in Canada conies from
Canada and is not subject to the
whims of the Arabs. We could, if
the oil companies agreed, still be
paying the same price for our oil
in most parts of Canada as we did
two years ago. Costs have
increased to be sure, but not that
much.
Two years ago the leaders of
the oil industry, some of the
smartest businessmen in Canada,
didn't foresee (publicly at least)
any future energy shortage. They
were doing quite well on the
prices they were getting, showing
a nice profit for the stockholders
and paying themselves nice fat
salaries. Suddenly, there is panic,
and because the Arabs control the
oil for much of the world and have
forced the price of oil up, the
Canadian oilment say we'd better
pay more in Canada or they will
go elsewhere to' look for new oil
supplies and leave us flat. So,
with no new real costs, the price
soars. That, is inflation.
But• strangely, though the oil
companies talk about inflation
and how they must have several
cents a gallon more for gas, they •
don't seem to think inflation hurts
the guy who mans the pumps at :
the gas stations that sell their
gasoline. Not one cent 'of the
increase in price has gone to the
gas station operators. Every cent
pias gone into the profits of the big
companies.
Let's compare the oil situation
with the food bill, the one that has
probably caused more anger than
any of the other rising prices...
and probably the one most
needed. Some of the increases
such as the prices of dried fruit
like raisins, sugar, chocolate are
imported and there is little that
can be done in Canada, but most
of the• increases are in goods
produced on Canadian farms.
And, for the most part, these
increases have been listed as
inflationary by consumers and the
big -city media,
This is where the unfairness
comes in. Farmers have been
behind the rest of society for
years in income (the majority of
farmers at least). So when the
price of food started to go up last
year, the farmer was getting what
was long past due to him. If
things had stood at that level, we
would have seen some fairness at
last. But they didn't. As soon as
farm prices reached a level where
a farmer could expect to live as
well as the average urban
dweller, the cost of feed, fertilizer
and equipment began to skyrock-
et. His increased income was
quickly eaten up by increased
costs. Unlike the oil companies.
whose costs increased little. the
farmer probably paid out a cent in
increased costs for every cent he
got in increased income.
So it is in wage increases. The
lowly hospital worker is at the
bottom of the pay scale. He is
having a hard struggle just
getting enough pay t0 pay for his
groceries. Meanwhile the big
stcelworking unions, because of
their power, get juicy cost of
living increases on their already -
hefty salaries. The steelworkers
in the U.S. for instance, got a 39
cent cost of living increase plus a
28 cent raise.
The traffic controllers at the
Canadian airports are already
making more than $20,000 a year,
but they want a 20 per cent
increase in wages to make up for
the inflation bite. The sad part is
that the hospital worker now
making say $100 a week (many
don't make that much) won't
likely get a 20 per cent increase
but if he did, it would mean an
increase of only $1000 a year. The
airport controller gets a 20 per
cent increase and it's another
$4000 a year in his pay envelope,
or two-thirds of the total wage of
the hospital worker, just to offset
inflation.
The problem with all this is that
the big guy gains and the little
guy, whether hospital worker,
farmer or small businessman,
gets hurt.

Hydro official predicts more
shortage in energy fuels
Canada has succeeded in
cushioning the blow of a
worldwide energy crisis, but the
crisis particularly for gas and oil
is coming.
That was the message from
Larry Higgins, economist and
load production supervisor at
Ontario Hydro's Toronto office.
Mr. Higgins spoke to 100
contractors and builders in
Clinton last Wednesday. He
warned the U.S. energy crisis
would affect Canada "mainly in
price and attitudes that flow
across the border."
The Canadian situation is in
direct opposition to that of the
Americans,
"U.S, oil policy has been
obsessed with considering nation-
al security. The Canadian situa-
tion has shown a total lack pf
regard for national security," he
said. "The west sold to the U.S.
market, the east to the inter-
national market.
"The federal government was
importing half as much again
from the Middle East as was
being exported by Alberta to the

would have resulted in "an
insoluable international
problem,"
"Having done so, we have a
huge inter -provincial problem,
but at least it is soluable in
Canada," he said.
For the U.S. Mr. Higgins
predicted a massive shift from
fossil fuels to electrical power.
He said Canadians would be
facing "dramatic increase in gas
prices within the next three
years."
He said Canadian reserves of
oil and gas were sufficient for
Canadian needs until the 1990's.
He said the reserves would not be
sufficient if Canada embarks
upon a greater export policy.
Walter Palmer, Ontario
Hydro's Clinton arca manager,
told the contractors from Huron,
Lambton and Perth counties that
Hydro is facing shortages of steel,
aluminum, copper, plastic and
even western cedar for hydro
poles.
He said the shortages have
delayed and will continue to
delay, new services from Ontario
Hydro.
Mr. Palmer asked the contract-
ors to give Hydro power estimates
as far in advance as possible.
Mr. Palmer said Hydra was
coping with the situation in three
ways.
•Finding alternate sources
supply.
•Obtaining long-range commit-
ments from suppliers.
•Changing designs to use alter-
native materials where possible.
