Irish fun
The Bradley Family of Clinton had the audience clapping and tapping
its toes when they entertained during the Twinpack presentation of
Blyth Little Theatre on Friday and Saturday nights, The seven children
and father Eugene came to Canada a year and a half ago from Ireland
and brought a little of the Irish music to Blyth for the show, with a little
Scottish music thrown in just for good measure. •-staff photo.
Happy days...taxes down in Hullett
Everything, these days, seems to be
going up but taxpayers in Hullett township
arc going to get at least one break. Their
tax bill will go down slightly this year.
The township mill rate is down .8 mills
from last year. Cuts in the county mill rate
of two mills, the township rate of one mill
and a half mill in the elementary mill rate
more than offset an increase of nearly three
mills in the secondary school rate.
Business and commercial rates are down
three mills from last year.
The new mill rate was adopted at the
May meeting of council, held May 6 in
Londesboro. In other business at the
meeting, the clerk was instructed to inform
the Blyth village council that the township
was prepared to make a grant of $1000
toward the costs of the Blyth Recreation
Program. The grant was made after
discussions with the Blyth Lions Club over
the sharing of costs in the probability of a
Auditor asked
to resign
A dispute over the cost of auditing the
township's financial dealings has led West
Wawanosh to ask for the resignation of its
auditor.
The council made the move at its May
meeting held May 2 at the township hall.
The decision followed a letter from the
auditor, A.M. Harper of Goderich in which
he inferred that he would not reduce the
amount he had originally quoted for the
audit. He was answering a request from
council to reconsider the amount of the
audit.
Council asked for his resignation and
agreed to contact the firm of Montieth and
Montieth of Stratford,as soon as the
resignation was receivd,
in other business, the council tabled a
petition from Mrs. Dorothy MacKenzie,
signed by the majority of residents of
Concession 10 and 11 regarding dust
control.
Grant Chisholm was present to discuss
with council his proposal to purchase a
piece of township property.
Road and general accounts were
approved for payment.
deficit in operation of the proposed Blyth
Lions swimming pool.
A building permit was issued to Florence
Pullen on Lot 14, Concession 1 for an
addition to a house and a shed. Several
severances were approved without cond-
itions except that there be a written
agreement concerning line fences.
The rate for garbage 'pick-up for
Londesboro was set at $15 per home for
residential and $30 for commercial.
A grant of $600 was given to the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture.
The revised reports on the Beane No. 1
and No. 2 drains were provisionally
accepted and Cou'H of Revision for each
was set for June 3. A petition was accepted
from Doug F trquhar for repairs to the
Farquhar Mui '.cipal Drain and the drain
commissioner was requested to
investigate.
A grant of $20 was given t0 the Huron
County Historical Society,
The clerk was asked to send a letter to
the township of Goderich township
informing the council that Hullett feels
there is need of a drain and sewer across
the Base Line near Ball's Bridge and
asking if they would be willing to share the
cost 50-50. The letter will also feel
Goderich out as to the possibility of using a
snowblower to clear snow off the road in
winter.
At a special meeting held April 24,
council discussed coverage on township
building with Dave Reed of the Frank
Cowan Insurance Company. It was decided
to increase the coverage on the township
hall from $75,000 to $90,000,
E. Wawanosh
may get rec.
committee
East Wawanosh township is investigat-
ing forming its own recreation committee.
The township council asked the clerk to
contact Mr. McGarrity, District Consultant
of the Youth and Recreation Branch about
forming such a committee. The township
must have its own recreation committee in
order to get provincial grants on recreation
expenses.
The council also pledges to give $500 to
help offset any deficit in the operation of
the proposed Blyth Lions swimming pool.

works will be held on June 4 at 8:45 at the
Belgrave Community Centre. Road
accounts of $2,832.08 and general accounts
of $3,239.92 were approved for payment.
Separate school board won't move meeting
BY WILMA OKE
The Huron -Perth County Roman Catho-
lic Separate School Board Monday turned
down a proposal by a vote of 11-2 to hold
school board meetings in the 19 schools in
the two counties on a rotating basis.
Michael Connolly, RR 3, Kippen,
chairman of the board, in his inaugural
address said one of the priorities for the
year was in the area of communication
between board, teachers and parents and
spoke of the importance of keeping
channels of communications open. Follow-
ing his address Howard Shantz of Stratford
suggested one way of keeping communica-
tion channels open between the board and
the parents would be for the second board
meeting each month to be held in one of
the 19 schools in the two counties until all
the schools were covered,
When the proposal was brought up again,
at the meeting Monday it was suggested it
would be inconvenient for the administra-
tive staff to have all the additional
information necessary for Me meetings
available at the school where the meetings
would be held. (Often during meetings it is
necessary for a member of staff to go to the
files for material to provide information for
a trustee during a discussion.)
The cost factor was considered -- the
increased mileage costs would be
considerable for the trustees to travel to
one end of the two counties rather than for
then to meet at a central point, as the
board office in Seaforth is.
Michael Connolly said that if any
delegation wished to attend a particular
meeting he would be happy .to accom-
modate it.
The general consensus seemed to be that
as no requests for meeting to be held in any
particular arca had been received it was
decided that the meetings continue in the
board room with Howard Shantz and David
Teahen opposed.
Joseph Looby of Dublin emphasized to
the press that anyone is welcome to attend
a regular board meeting, but added they
would not be able to attend a
committee -of -the -whole meeting.
The property and maintenance coniniit-
tee was voted $5,000 additional to the
$19,000 already granted that committee, so
that the necessary maintenance work such
as repairing and painting can be
completed.
Jack Lane, Business Administrator, was
authorized to attend a conference in
Toronto May 26, 27 and 28 to be held by
the Ontario Association of School Business
officials.
The Muskoka Board of Education
forwarded a resolution that legislation be
ammended to provide that school buses be
required to operate their flashing signals
when loading or unloading school students
from a street or roadway unless
unobstructed sidewalks are provided
together with a system of crosswalks or
signal lights so that students may cross the
street or roadway safely. A copy of the
board's 1972 resolution, similiar to the
above, will be forwarded to the Muskoka
Board for information.
While the teachers under the jurisdiction
of the board hold a professional
development day on May 31, the janitors of
the 19 schools in the system will be asked
to attend an in-service training session at
St. James Separate School in Seaforth from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with Ed Rowland,
maintenance officer, in charge of the
program. Lunch and mileage costs will be
provided the janitors.
Council will hold another meeting on
Thursday to complete unfinished business
which they were unable to complete
Monday inspite of an almost four-hour
session. On the agenda will be a proposal
for reorganization of staff, also to be
considered is a press headline by Stratford
Council that the separate school tax rate
had been boosted by 8.04 mills while the
Separate Board had set the levy at 27,25
mills which is 3 mills higher than last
year's rate.

BLT's Twinpack shows
great potential for future
BY KEITH ROULSTON
The attendance, Friday and
Saturday night at the Twinpack
presentation of Blyth Little
Theatre, left much to be desired, .
but it was those who stayed away
who suffered, not the Little
Theatre.
Those who stayed at home
missed some excellent entertain-
ment, certainly better than what
they watched on television when
they stayed home.
The Twinpack consisted of a
mystery play called Fright and a
comedy, The Ant Bed with
musical entertainment in between
provided by the Bradley family of
Clinton.
The best news is that at the end
of its second year of existence,
Blyth Little theatre is showing the
potential of providing some
exciting entertainment for local
audiences in the future. Last
year's presentation of Mystery at
Green Fingers had its good
moments, and its bad but it was
hard to say just how good the BLT
was going to be. Last week's
performances showed that there
is real talent involved locally.
Fright, which started the
evening's program, was the less
successful of the two productions.
A straight mystery -thriller it
didn't have the conic relief that
makes some mysteries popular.
The language is too stilted to
make modern Canadian aud-
iences feel comfortable and made
the cast look a little uncomfort-
able too,
The play itself plods along a
little too slowly to really grip the
audience, and it's hard to see how
even a professional company
could ' make the play an out-
standing success.
Still, Fright was far from
unsuccessful. Four old-timers
from last year's production, dare
Vincent, Doug Whitmore. Hugh
McClure and Mary McClure
showed they had progressed in
acting skill over the past year.
Mr. Vincent, however, seemed a
little wasted in a serious role with
the comic touch he demonstrated
last year.
Debbie Hicks, a newcomer,
showed a good deal of talent in
her small role in the play and
hopefully, we'll see her back
again in a future production in a
bigger part.
For director R.W. Street, it was
the first effort and he must
certainly be commended. He and
the actors managed to build up
the tension as the play progressed
to the climax. Perhaps the tempo
of the play could have been
picked up a little if the actors had
been kept on the move a little
more, but it's hard for a director
and cast to make up to
deficiencies in the script.
Fright was followed by a
half-hour concert by the Bradley
Family which was worth the price
of admission itself. The seven
youngsters and • father Eugene
showed off the talent that has
made them something of a
celebrity act in the short time
since they came to Canada from
Ireland and moved to Clinton.
Anyone with a chance to see the
group certainly shouldn't waste
it.
The Bradleys picked up the
tempo of the night's entertain-
ment after the slow, tense
half-hour of Fright and had the
audience tapping toes and even
clapping on the Saturday night.
The tempo stayed high as The
Ant Bed unfolded showing the
BLT probably at its strongest and
best yet.
The Ant Bed confirmed that the
talent Joan Campbell showed last
year in Green Fingers was not
just an accident. Mrs. Campbell
is simply a superb comedienne in
her own right and in Ant Bed she
was surrounded by a cast that was
also superb.
,)o Cronin in her last outing in
Green Fingers didn't have much
chance to chow her comic talent,
but this weekend as a lady
burglar, she showed she is a
strong member of the growing
BLT stable of good actors. James
Spivey was also in his first real
comic role and he made the best
of it, especially as he pantomimed
eating some horrible tasting stew.
Harry Lear was in his first
stage appearance for BLT and
gave a very strong performance
as the husband who was so busy
studying an ant farm he couldn't
take time to pay attention to his
wife.
Director Betty Battye deserves
tremendous credit for working
this talented cast into a first-rate
performance,
Most of all, the members of the
cast and directors showed this
weekend that if they can continue
to improve, next year looks like it
will provide a wonderful amount
of entertainment for the people of
Blyth and area.

ANN LANDERS
He'II be his own uncle
Dear Ann Iandcrs: After all these weeks there are still arguments
going on in this office about "Seventh }leaven", that childless couple
who decided to enlist the aid of the husband's father to get her
pregnant, He was a widower, mid -50s and in perfect health. They
urged other childless couples to do the same since "one never knows
about the adopted child's background in terms of intellectual capacity
or inheritable diseases." (If the father-in-law had refused, they
planned to ask the husband's younger brother.(
We would like to know once and for all: Were they referring to
artificial insemination or actual intercourse? '!'here's money riding on
this, so hurry your answer. -- Holding Heavy,
Dear 1-1,1-1.: It was NOT artificial insemination.
Read on.
Dear Ann: The woman who signed her letter "Seventh Heaven,"
should have signed it "Seventh Hell".
Her husband couldn't get her pregnant, so they decided to ask her
father-in-law to "help." "Seventh" advised other childless couples to
do the sank since the offspring would carry the family gnes and the
baby would look like a relative.
That woman must be bonkers. Doesn't she realize the identity
problems involved?
T'o the mother, the child would be a brother-in-law (her husband's
brother), a son, and a grandson. To the woman's husband, the child
would be a stepson and a brother. The the father-in-law, the child
would be a son and a grandson. He would also be his own cousin.
If that mother has more children with her father-in-law, they would
be stepsisters and brothers, as well as cousins.
Worse yet, the child would be his own uncle. -- who's Crazy?
Dear Who: Your analysis is correct, but in my opinion, the emotional
and psychological problems resulting from such an arrangement could
be Horrendous. 'I'hcy didn't ask for my advice, simply my
"endorsement." I told them, "No way."
Dear Ann Landers: Our high school teenage council took a survey
among 50 boys and 50 girls. We asked the following questions: Girls:
I)o you consider yourselves liberated? All 50 said Yes. We then asked
if they would consider asking a guy out. Only 15 said YES. The
remaining 35 said NO, unless the guy had already asked them out first.
We then asked 50 guys if they would ACCEPT a date if a girl asked
therm. Only 9 said N 0. The other 41 said Yes, if they liked the girl. So,
Ann, please tell the girls this is 1974. If you like a guy, don't wail for
him to ask you out. Ask HIM.--N.Y. Ann Fans,
Dear Fans: I am passing YOUR word, but adding a few of my own. If
I had been included in that survey (yeah, I know I'm a Stone Age hag
and my vote doesn't count) it would have been 36 instead of 35. If a girl
sees a guy often enough to ask hint out, he has also seen !LER. And for
my stoner if shes got her head together she'll wail until FII? asks,
I'm sure my comments will make me as popular as Typhoid Mary,
but boys really don't dig chicks who are too aggressive as those 15 girls
will soon find out.
Dear Ann Landers: r1., a former postal clerk who used to work in the
air snail section, I resent being called an idiot because I don't happen to
know where certain places are. Most postal clerks do not have complete
listings of all the cities n foreign nations.
As one of those "idiots" I'll bet 1 saw more "Idiocy" in a single day
than the complainer saw in a whole year. Example: A dirty enveloupe
addressed to "The Poor Children of India," contianing a moldy piece
uf' rye bread. Another letter addressed to "Mr. and Mrs. John .Jones,
First farm house past the hump in the road." Another letter to "Good
Looking Doctor, 'fall with White Flair."
I can't tell you how many envelopes came through torn to pieces.
containing car keys, candy, cookies, Bower seeds, marijuana and birth
control devices. You wouldn't believe what people try to send in the
snail.
So, dont let anyone tell you that postal clerks are more idiotic than
Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public. It's not true. -- Chief Observer.
Dear Chief: Hail to you for that insightful message from behind the
scenes. I've seen many postal clerks at work and I can vouch for the
fact that they cairn their pay --every last nickel of it --especially the night
crews.
How much do you know about pot, L.S.1)., cocaine, speed, meth,
uppers and downers, glue and heroin? Are all these drugs dangerous?
Get Ann larder's new booklet, "Straight Dope on Dru 2s." For each
booklet ordered, send a dollar bill plus a long, self-addre,sed envelope
(I6c postage) to Ann Landers, P.O. Box.3346, Chicago, Illinois, 60654.

Editorial
Already they .think
we're idiots
Some politicians don't have much respect for the intelligence of the
average voters..This quickly became obvious even before the present
federal election campaign got under way late last week.
i )
The government was defeated about 6 p.m. last Wednesday night
and minutes later reporters were interviewing members of various
parties about the situation.
There was james Gillies, the finance critic for the Conservative party
saying the government had been defeated because of the budget it
brought down which was just god awful as far as the Tories were
concerned.
There was Davey Lewis for the New Democrats sayng the terrible
budget had been the reason the NDP had pulled the plug on the
Liberals. It said a lot about what we can expect in the months ahead
before the election on July 8: namely a heck of a lot of stupidity.
Mr. Gillies and Mr. Lewis must think everyone in the country is
completely naive if they think we 11 swallow that line. The
Conservatives, after all, have been trying to defeat the government 011
any excuse at all ever since October 1972 at the last election. Lewis has
been saying for several weeks,
long b
before the budget was brought
down, that he was going to vote against the budget and defeat the
government. Who can vote for such men who apparently think we're all
mentally deficient?
Wouldn't it be nice if the Social Credit would run a candidate so we
could vote for Real Caouctte, the one leader who seems to make sense
these days.
Liberals slow out of
the starting gate again
Will the Liberals ever again win Huron riding?
One would certainly wonder as we approach another election. It
would seers that the Conservatives will be n power in Huron riding
forever unless something happens to put the Liberals back on their
feet. Here we are with an election campaign on and the Liberals still
don't have a candidate in Huron. Lord knows they've had plenty of
chances. In other ridings their own party and others have had
nomination meetings in the past year, knowing full well that sooner or
later, and probably sooner, there was going to be another election. But
not in Huron.
Oh they'll get a candidate before the election, of course, but the
chances of winning with this candidate are likely pretty slim. For one
thing, the Liberals just don't seem to be able to attract good
candidates. The 1972 election they seemed to have picked a good man
in Charlie Thomas of Grey Township, and they picked hint early, but
Mr. Thomas just failed miserably to impress the people, showing all
the zip of left over potato salad at a picnic.
What the Liberals need is to find a man (or woman) the calibre of
Jack Riddell or Murray Gaunt to run federally. if they arc to ever to
hope to win Huron riding, they will have to have a strong candidate and
good organization to upset the traditionally Tory voting pattern and the
personal popularity of Robert McKinley.
And it won't happen this time.
Impeachment 'for the
wrong reasons
As every day goes by, the possibility that President Richard Nixon in
the U.S. will be impeached becomes more likely. The shame is,.in a
time of moral crisis in the U.S., that thc impeachment could conte for
the wrong reasons.
There are few anymore who can defend Mr. Nixon. Time and again
he has been shown sneaky, devious, untrustworthy power. nad and
just plain dishonest. For the good of the soul of the U.S. he should go.
But the impeachment proceedings would be unlikely to go against him
but for the Tact this is a congressional election year and mai y votes are
on the line.
The Republican party was content to close ranks behino Mr. Nixon
during the early days, leaving only the Democrats and independent
thinkers to "wallow" in Watergate. Now, however, the mid-term
elections are approaching and Republican politicians are finding
themselves in trouble in their own bids to win re-election. Mr. Nixon is
. a handicap they don't need. So, they'd like to throw him over -board
and sail into the coming election with a increasingly -popular Gerald

It's sad that at a time when the American people need something to
'reaffirm their faith in their politicans they see instead people acting,
not from firm beliefs, but from a need to protect their own political
necks.

my eye, at I 1 a.m., was the huge

It read,"SEX MIT heart". The

Roy says OMA mislead public
BY MURRAY GAUNT,
M.P.P. (HURON -BRUCE]
The Ontario Medical Association mis-
represented scientific evidence in an
attempt to prove optometrists should not
be allowed to administer diagnostic drugs,
Albert Roy, Liberal Health Critic, said this
week.
Mr. Roy said he was appalled that the
medical association would resort to
misrepresentation and scare tatics to keep
diagnostic drugs solely in the domain of
eye doctors.
He explained that last month the
association sent a brief to all Members of
the Legislature attempting to show that
optical anesthetics and dilating drugs could
have serious side effects and that
optometrists should not be allowed to use
them.
Mr. Roy, M.P.P. for Ottawa East, said
there is overwhelming evidence that
optometrists with the proper care can use
diagnostic drugs in the same way as eye
doctors.
The Krauss -Maffei Go -Urban test track
at the C.N.E. has been under almost
continuous fire since the Legislature
opened. This week it came under criticism
again.
The cost of the experiment has increased
from the estimated $16 to over $25 million
and that is excluding the main station, site
adjustment and utility relocation costs.
The Government . has argued that
inflation is the villian. The opposition has
rejected that by saying, the cost of building
the North Yonge Subway increased only 20

July 8 election is bagman's last fling
BY ANDRE OUIMET
This summer's federal election, the last
to be played under the old rules of political
financing, will see the passing of that
all-important, if shady, character: The
party bagman.
Because the Election Expenses Act,
passed this year, applies only to elections
called after July 15 next, aspiring as well as
sitting MPs will be again footing their
campaign bills with money which neither
the public • nor themselves in many cases
can trace to its donors.
It is assumed, and probably rightly, that
most of the anonymous money donated to
political parties or to individual MPs is
relatively clean in the sense that no MP or
party is suspected of having been bought
outright by an individual or special
interest.
There is, however, always rooms for
doubt, aid the party bagman, who collects
untold thousands of dollars, usually cash,
from corporate boardrooms in Montreal or
Toronto, or the candidate who stuffs a thick
envelope filled with old $100 bills into his
pocket while looking the other way will be a
thing of the past after July 15.
"I'I►c bagman, sometime; a senator or a
trusted associate of the party chief, was not
expected to reveal the sources of his
donations and elected officials often
expressed a preference not to know where
the money came from,
Only the NDN - which never expected or
got corporate donations anyway"- did not
have a bagman among federal political
parties. The Creditistcs, who pass the hat
at party rallies, do have the equivalent of
the corporate bagman, ,but on a lesser
scale, putting the arm on small, rural
businesses for funds.
From the businessman's point of view.
the advent of the new law will probably be
welcome, the prudent businessman having
in the past made donations to both the
Liberal and Colnservative war chests.
There is the well known case of the
Montreal businessman who, on election
night in 1958. sat in a company plane at
Dorval airport awaiting final results: If the
Liberals won, he was flying to Quebec City
to be seen at victory celebrations with
Louis St. Laurent, and if the Conservatives
won he was flying to be with John
Dicfenbaker in Ottawa. He flew to Ottawa.
.1 can Marc Hamel, Canada's cheif
electoral officer, said in an interview that
under the old system - which still applies to
this election - "we had no problems
because we had no responsibilities
whatsoever concerning finacing."
After July 15, however, "we're in there
right up to our necks."
Three things will kill the bagman: All
donations over $100 will now have to be
declared openly: the government, through
the receiver -general, will reimburse a
sizeable portion of a candidate's expenses,
and there is a limit - so much per elector -
The world
Philippines'
BY MARK FRANKLAND
"We love peace," the slogan on the wall
of the hut went, "but it needs war to get
it."
The soldiers who had chalked it up are
guarding the town of Jolo, three-quarters
burned to the ground in fighting between
Muslim rebels and the Philippine army
earlier this year. Their generals, however,
would not agree, and with good reason.
The truth is that the Muslim revolt in the
Philippines, young though it is, is already
too big for the 70,000 -strong Philippine
army to put down by force.
During a 10 -day journey through
western Mindanao and the Sulus, where
most of the more than three million Filipino
Muslims live, 1 found people talking about
ambushes as if they were a natural part of
daily life.
The army has not yet seriously dented
the rebel force of 4,000 in this area and
there are reports that it is now getting
heavier weapons, including light anti-air-
craft guns, mortars and rockets. The
overall rebel hardcore strength is
estimated at 14,000.
No one in his right mind would drive out
of Cotabato City at night. On the island of
Basilan to the west, some of the roads are
impassable even by day, for the rebels
control about 70 per cent of the island and
out number the government forces.
With newspapers heavily censored
people have no way of finding out what is
happening and instead rely on rumor. The
rebels have ambushed and killed a
high-ranking constabulary officer in the
province of Lanao del Sur - true. The rebels
have laid their hands on two 105 mm
howitzers and will attack Iligan City -
untrue (so far). •
in Zamboanga City, Christians have
organized vigilante squads to patrol the .
to what a candidate may spend during his
campaign.
But perhaps the most important section
of the new law is the one which permits the
donor of $100 to deduct $75 from his total
income tax return.
"'This provision will mean that the public
will start to take an active interest in the
political process." said Stewart Mensforth,
director of electoral expenses in the chief
electoral officer's office.
A donation of more than $100 and less
than $550 will be worth $75 plus 50 per cent
of the amount exceeding $100, and a
contribution of more than $550 will be
worth the lesser of $300 dollars plus 331/2
per cent of $500 dollars when the
contributor files his income tax.
in effect, the government is diverting
taxes at the source to finance political
campaigns.
The Electoral Expenses Act specifies
seven sources of donors which the
candidate must list in making out his report
to the chief electoral officer following the
election:
*Individuals,
'Public corporations.
• Priva te corporations.
*Trade unions.
*Governments.
'Corporations without share capital,
other than trade unions.
•Unincorporated bodies other than trade
unions,
victory or graveyardwar
streets at night. There are thousands of
Muslim refugees from Jolo and other
places sheltering 9n the city, and who
knows, perhaps they might try to seize the
town one night, as the rebels did in Jolo. •
There has b:ven a great loss of life and
property. Thet•; were 175,000 refugees in
the provinces around Cotabato last year,
though government officials say most have
gone home again.
Nearly I:alt the population of Jolo City
has left th; island, where at least three
other towns of around 10,000 inhabitants
each have also been destroyed.
But it is the nature, as much as the
extent, of the revolt that has persuaded the
army that fore is not the answer. The
Phikippines depends heavily on Arab oil,
and she does not want to be seen
lambasting her own Muslims.
The Filipino Muslims survive today in
spite of more than 300 years of Spanish
rule because Spain never quite had the
strength ' to impose its authority and
Christianity on the southern islands,
already converted to Islam by Arabs
trading in South -East Asia. Muslims still
speak with pride of how they alone held out
against the Spanish while the rest of the
country accepted the foreign rule and
religion with little resistance.
Ironically, if was only when the
Philippines became independent after
World War 11, and Christian settlers from
the north started to move south in search of
land, that the Muslims' freedom to live in
their own way was seriously threatened.
These northern immigrants have not just
taken much of the Muslims' land: they
have begun to build a Christian culture that
has little place for Islamic customs,
particularly since these seem archaic to the
Christians.
Ther has been discrimination in
government and business against Muslims
and pitifully little education to help them
jump over the discrimination barrier.
Too many Christians settlers look on the
Muslims as the American frontiermen
looked on the Indians: feckless and
incomprehensible possessors of a rich
country which they refused to put of proper
use.
But what has brought these old and
well-known grievances into focus is the
new rebel leadership, which is the
youngest and best -educated that the
Muslim minority has ever had, The leaders
are in their twenties and thirties. Many of
the guerrillas are teenagers. They say they
want secession. In fact they might be
happy with less.
The chairman of the Moro National
Liberation Front (the rebels' proper title:
Moro was the name given to the Filipino
Muslims by the Spanish) was a professor at
the University of the Philippines. The
Basilan Central Committee chairman is a
high school teacher from Zamboanga city.
The Cotabato leader and sotne of his
colleagues won doctorates in Islamic
jurisprudence at Cairo University (others
hold similar degrees from Mecca), It is this
leadership much more than the arms and
money from Malaysia and perhaps Libya
that gives the movement its cutting edge.
Inspired by their membership of the
greater Islamic world, these meta are
driven by the frustration typical of any
new, educated group denied the chances it
deserves and by a feeling of responsibility
for the poor and illiterate Muslim masses.
Even middle-of-the-road Muslims, horri-
fied by the suffering the revolt has caused,
say "you cannot blame them for fighting. It
is time someone took notice of us."

There have been a number of calls for

Following my weekly report on April 11;

the guaranteed annual income system as it
applies to senior citizens, which comes into
effect on July 1, 1974.
By way of clarification I submit the

to avoid the list.
And that list will be kept with the
constituency's electoral officer for a period
of six months following an election. It will
be available for perusal on request. and
copies will be made for a fcc of 20 cents.
Mr. Hamel said the new law would only
require about eight more employees in his
department, including a commissioner to
be appointed.
"We won't undertake investigations
ourselves, but you can be sure that if there
is anything wrong in somebody's, camp-
aign, his defeated opponents will advise us
and the commissioner will launch an
investigation".
Penalties for contravening the new law
are tough • $25,000 and /or five years in jail
is the maximum for a party official or
candidate's agent who goes astray.
In the nmeantinie, as bagmen make their
rounds for the last time before the July
election, Mr. Hanmel's department will be
hiring close to 240,000 temporary workers
across the country.
Thcic remuneration, plus the cost of
printing, paper, and other election
expenses will total over $21 million.
That's one official contribution made by
Canada's taxpayers every time an election
is held.
•The Montreal Star
The army psychological warfare experts
are trying to chip away at the rebels'
support by calling them "Maoists,"
though knowledgeable Muslims and
Christians insist this is not so. The army's
other tactic is the "policy of attractioin."
This means promises of better treatment
and much more money for the Muslim
areas reconstruction of Jolo City. But such
things are easier to promise than to
achieve, especially in a relatively poor
country where the good intentions of the
top leaders can easily be destroyed by
inept or bloody-minded juniors.
For the moment, the rebels seem to be
holding firm. Crossing over the Basilan, I
met by chance one rebel (he called himself
a freedom fighter) who summed up all the
difficulties the government faces.
Abdul was in his early twenties. His aunt
had been raped by Christian thugs, he
said, his grandfather and his young
nephew and nieces killed. He was a
laboratory technician, but felt he could
ne er get the job he deserved because he
was a Muslim. He pointed as the boat came
close to the town of Isabela: "Look at those
shacks by the waterfront. That is where the
Muslims live. Look at those concrete
houses. That is where the Christians live.
"1 will die to see justice done to my
people. Cut off my right hand if 1 lie".
After meeting Abdul, I reread a
propaganda leaflet put out by the Muslim
guerrillas in Cotabato. It ended with the
rhetorical, thrice repeated cry "Victory or
to the graveyard!"
But that would not be rhetoric for Abdul,
it is the truth • cut off his right hand if it
isn't, as he would say.

Once again Blyth fans were
fortunate to have another All
Ontario finalist in their town.
During the season the team
played 39 games and was
victorious in 28 of them. The team
played its longest season ever as
it extended from October to April
19.
The team played the regular
teams of Winghanl, Brussels,
Lucknow, Ripley, Milverton and
always their biggest rival: Monk -
ton. Of all these teams played
they were defeated in two games,
one to Winghanl, 5-4 and one to
Milverton, 5.1.
They were very happy to have
such a great coach in Ted
Williams and a great manager in
Charlie Bromley. Without these
two men the Blyth team would not
have gone as far.
As the year went on, the
play-offs started. First Blyth
played Monkton and defeated
them two straight. Then ad-
vanced to play Zurich and
defeated them two in a row. Then
Ripley challanged them and once
again the Blyth "Lions" defeated
the opposition two straight.
The next task was to defeat
Hillsburg and once again the two
out of three series went in two
games. Then the eight game
winning streak was broken when
they were bombed by Langton
9-1. All the Langton fan's were
surprised when the team returned
to Langton and thrashed them
9-3.

pensioner who has no outside income,
receives a maximum old age security and
guaranteed income supplement of $191.06
will receive from the Province $25.61 per
month to bring the pension total to

income of $216.67 per month to each single
pensioner. if the outside income, plus the

the Province will not make any further

At the moment, a couple that have no

be added $68.84 to make the $433.33. As

From the
Minister's Study
BY PASTOR ALFRED FRY, AUBURN
In the book of Exodus, Chapter 20, verses 8 and 9, we read,
"Remember the sabbath day to keep it Holy"
"Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work"
"But the Sabbath of the Lord is the seN,enth day."
The story is told of a rich man who owned a small farm on which he
kept seven cows. Down the road lived a man with a wife and family,
they had no cows. So the rich man said to his wife, "There are just two
of us, let us give six of our cows to that poor man and his family, This
they did, and the poor man expressed his thanks for his kindness.
A few weeks later, the rich man went to his barn to milk the one cow
that he kept for himself, and came upon the poor man and he was
milking that one cow which belonged to the other man. He was not
content with the six cows, but had to steal the milk from the seventh.
What is the moral to this story? Simply this, God has given you and I
six whole days to do as we please, but alas how often are we guilty of
stealing the day which belongs to The Lord?
The writer is just about to conclude over 50 years in the work of the
Lord, and feels quite capable of dealing with this question. Where has
our Sabbath gone? Horse racing, car races, hockey and ball games, all
kinds of organized sport: (nothing wrong with them). But we have six
days for these without s ealing Our Heavenly Father's day. You say
"Times have changed" Yes, but God never changes, He never
changes His laws. Jesus Christ never changes,
He is the same
yesterday today, and forever. Time is running out, Christians need to
be on their guard; " think on these thing's".

The government here in Ontario
believes that no one should ever be
deprived of a higher education simply
for lack of money. And, we're doing
something about it... through the
Ontario Student Assistance Program
(OSAP).
OSAP consists of government -
financed loans and grants designed to
help qualified Canadian citizens and
landed immigrants pay for their higher
education. And they are based on
need, not on academic achievement.
The loans are interest-free until 6
months after graduation. and repay-
ments don't begin until then. The
grants don't normally have to be
repaid at all.
Already, 2 out of 5 students at
Ontario universities and community
colleges receive some form of
financial assistance from OSAP.
If you would like to know what
assistance is available, how to apply
for it, and how much you may be
qualified to receive, contact the

WITII ADRIAN VOS
I was just reading some of the
price forecasts from the end of
January. The prediction of the
crystal hall gazers was then for (60
cents to 55 cents per pound of
pork and one was even so
pessimistic as to prcdicl as low as
45 cents, while here we are,
hovering around the 40 cent level.
Now is the time to fill your freezer
folks. The Ontario Pork Instilute,
which is mainly funded by the
Pork I3ov'd, has begun a
campaign to shore up sales of
pork. They stress the new pork,
meaning the lower fat content,
lower calory content and the
higher protein. Pork is the best
buy of any nkat right now. So
watch for those posters and
recipes.

In his rural route letter in
"Country Guide", Pete Williams
has a very sane letter. It tells us of
a leading economist who shows us
how to increase our standard of
living.
Pete says: "Who says we have
to increase our standard of living?
Right now, I'd say there is
something a little indecent about
a call for an increased standard
of living in this country, when
two-thirds of the world's people
are inadequately fed, clothed and
sheltered."
He goes on to ask if we should
have more cars per family, or two
plates of food instead of one so
we'll have fatter bellies and
behinds. We demand snowmo-
biles and ?outboards and S0011
maybe it won't he a luxury to own
an air -cushion 'chicle. Keep
going Pete, but it won't do any
good because we are too greedy.

The traditional concept of
politicians promoting growth to
expand the taxhase is archaic and
should be discontinued, said Paul
Steinberg of Woodstock. It is time
that the population pressure of
this part of Ontario was shifted to
other areas where prime agricul-
tural land would not be sacrifice'
for concrete and pavement.
Amen, brother.

The political optimists are

We will probably get the same
results as with high meat prices.
Over supply and following lower

economists predict high prices to
encourage farmers to over
supply.

During the week of May 6 to
May 12, the following investi-
gations were carried out by
officers at Winghanl Detachment.
On 'Thursday, May 9, Ronald
K. Campbell and a passenger in
his car, Elizabeth M. Campbell
were injured in a car-cattlebeasl
collision on Concession 2-3, east
of the East•West Wawanosh
Town Line, East Wawanosh
Township, Damages to the
Campbell vehicle were estimated
at $1000. The cattlebeast, which
was fatally injured, was owned by
Bert Bos of R.R. 3, Blyth.
On Saturday, May II, Mary
Ann Socrs of R.R. 1, Mildmay,
was involved in a single car
accident on County Road 7, west
of County Road 12, Turnberry
Township. No one was injured,
and damages to the vehicle were
estimated at $1000.
James E. Klasscn of Brantford,
and Elizabeth A. Ryan of R.R. 2,
Brussels were involved in a
two -car collision on Highway 86 at
the junction of Huron Road 12,
Grey Township. Lawrence G.
Beal of Galt -Cambridge, Ontario
was a passenger in the Klasscn
vehicle, and he received minor
injuries as a result. Total
damages were estimated at

start production this year.
"The spill -off of this situation
is now affecting the used
machinery market to a greater
degree," says Hal Wright,
secretary -manager of the Farm
Machinery Board. Good used
tractors, like most other equip-
ment, arc in short supply and will
remain so for the coming season.
At a recent auction just south of
the border, tractors three years
old were selling at the original list
price, or above. While these
inflated prices prevailed mainly
with late -model tractors in good
condition and of 80 -plus horse-
power, the same situation applies
to a lesser extent to other used
machinery,
The reduced availability of both
new and used equipment will
force many farmers to stretch the
life of a machine by one or more
years by making major overhauls.
This in turn puts strain .on the
other aspect of manufacturing -
parts supply.
Since neatly areas arc exper-
iencing scarcity of ?arts and
delays in delivery, farmers should
start early to repair their
machines. II' not already repaired,
haying and harvest;ig equipment
should be checked t. ver early and
parts ordered well ahead of time,

During the fuel shortage, the
government applied a limit. The
death toll on the roads dropped
drastically. But the government
caved in to an angry lobby from
auto -makers and racing clubs and
lifed the speed limit.
The result is somewhat like a
combination of the Indianapolis
speedway and IoW flying over the
mountains, that is guaranteed to
stand your hair on end, if not turn
it white.
My brother is a good driver,
and he was only idling along
about 90. But l was slightly
unnerved by his habit of pointing
out scenery with one hand and
whistling past a 20 -ton truck with
the other.
Even more hair-raising was the
traffic from behind, 'Those mad
Teutons room lup to within inches
of your rear bumper, hang there,
them, as soon as there's a chance,
Dash past you as though you were
standing still.
Personally, I wouldn't drive on
a German autobahn in anything
but a fifty -ton tank.
Arrived at the halfway mark so
weak and shaky I couldn't even
get a beer down, in the officers
mess. And that's pretty shaky.
This was Baden•Soellingen,
honk of the Fourth Canadian
Mobile Brigade Group. 'There are
three squadrons of CF 104's, a
token force, but a highly efficient
one. This is down from 12
squadrons in 1954.
Those remaining are 426, Red
Indian, 439 Tiger, and 441, Silver
Fox. They received their colours
last .lune from Prince Philip, in an
impressive ceremony. My brother
claims, seriously, that the Can-
to dinner
adian squadrons have the best
pilots in Europe.
Zoom. Off again 10 Ramstein
where I was plunged into a gay
round of parties that would make
a debutante green with envy. But
not before I crashed out for a few
hours at the kid brother's
apartment. I had to gird my loins
for the big dinner and party that
night.
Like a number of officers, he
lives off the base, in a small
village. He pays a little over $200
for a two-bedroom unfurnished
apartment. This is subsidized to
some extent by the service. But
rents have soared in Germany.
On the base, a Canadian, Major
George Taylor, told ole he pays
only $120 for a two-bedroom job.
My brother had to install
everything: stove, fridge, even
cupboards, in his flat.
Parks? Ycs, there are some.
Liquor is $4.00 for 40 ounces of
the best. Cigarettes, for those
afflicted, are $2.00 a carton. Food
and chink at the mess are
relatively cheap. But nothing
much else is. The halcyon days
when our troops on the continent
were living high as lords arc
gone, thanks lo German inflation
and the devaluing of the dollar.
Change the shirt, shave the
►vhiskers, and off to the mess. It
was a special occasion, and he
didn't want me to miss il. A
farewell dinner for a German
Colonel, moving to another post.
German? Yep. It felt rather odd to
be drinking a toast to a chap who
alight have been shouting al nlc
some years ago. But this is
NATO, remember? There were
three other colonels of the
PG. 12. TILE BLYTH STANDARD MAY 15, 1974
German Air Force at the dinner.
Most of the others at the party
were Americans, and I was
welcomed with all the warmth
and hospitality for which Ameri-
cans are well known. Mrs.
Martha Heaton said, "The
Canadians here are the furthest
and nicest Canadians we've ever
met." 13r'ig.•Gen. Dick Merkling,
USAF, our host, stuck me at the
head table and introduced me
after the food. I graciously
murmured that the food was
better than last time 1 was in
Germany,
And wasn't it just. A steak so
big and tender it made one to
drool, Wine flowing freely.
Choice dessert. And a lot of
.�s
beautiful women, for eye -feast-
ing.
Lowest ranking officer there
was a major, and there was only
one of these, It's a good thing I
look so distinguished or they'd
have turned livid at the thought of
a little old nliserabl'e Flight Loot
sitting at the head table,
"Then it was back to his shack
with the brother, and a long
evening of reminiscing about
such things as how I used to
diddle hint out of his paper -route
money, and the girls we had tried
to steal from each other, and old
days in the REAL air force, and
exhausted to bed. One more
column on my trip, if you can
stand it.

ance very much, as it took then(
back to their schooldays when this
story was in one of their readers.
A great deal of credit is due to the

display of talent. Mrs. McClure a
great grandmother of one of the
students, thanked all those
responsible for the program on
behalf of the Residents.

The music committee and the
young people of the Bayfield
Baptist Church provided the
program for "Family Night".
Mrs. Pearson thanked the group
on behalf of the Residents for the
hour of singing and musical
numbers.
Behind the scenes
Once
BY KEITH ROULSTON
Local politicians in Huron
county are facing a golden
opportunity right now to sensibly
reshape the future of the county.
Will they succeed, or will they
stupidly fumble the ball?
Restructuring, is the biggest
issue in the county these days.
Restructuring is the nice name for
that horrid old word "regional
government". 'There is a differ-
ence, of course, in that under the
present circumstances, the rest-
ructuring is being done by our
own local people, not by
government employees from
Toronto. We've said all along that
it wasn't so much regional
government we were against, but
the way the government was
forcing it upon people.
Well, now we have our chance
to do it ourselves. Will we slake a
success of it, or will things be
botched up so bad when the
whole thing is over that we would
be better off without restruct-
uring? The political leaders have
as much power right now to shape
the future as the pioneers of a
century ago did. Have they the
common sense and courage to dot
he job right?
'('here are two schools of
thought as to how restructuring
alight take place.
One way to eliminate the large
ntnllhcr of municipalities in the
county and simplify government
would be to amalgamate present
municipalities using the present
boundaries. The guideline for the
sirs of the new municipalities is a
population of 3000 to 6000. In this
area this population could be
achieved by amalgamating Blyth
and two townships, say either
Hullett and East Wawanosh or
Hullctt and Morris or Morris and
East Wawanosh.
The 1969 assessed figures
showed Blyth with a population of
784, Hullctt with 1849, Morris
with 1607 and East Wawanosh
with 1024. Thus, any two of the
townships and Blyth would bring
the population to more than 3000,
with the majority of the pop-
ulation farm -based.
Many seem to feel this is the
sort of arrangement that may
ultimately conte out of restruct-
uring, It has one advantage in
that it keeps townships intact, not
splitting them up.
The other possible way to
restructure is to do it on the
community basis. The area of the
county that forms the community
centres around each urban area
would be the new ntunicipa lity.
There would then be a Clinton
community area, a Goderich
community arca etc. In the case of
Blyth, for instance, this •:ould be
in a life -time opportunity
achieved by amalgamating Blyth
with those portions of Hullctt,
Morris, East Wawanosh and
West Wawanosh that form the
Blyth community.
Population wise, it would stake
little difference. For example,
suppose half of each of the three
townships immediately bordering
on Blyth were included in the new
municipality. The new municip-
ality would than have a pop-
ulation oI' just over 3000 persons
and the farm -based population
would still forst a majority.
The advantages to this form of
re -organization, however, are
many.
Decisions in the new municipal-
ity would be being made for and
by people who would really be
effected.
Let's take as example, the
present problems with recreation
that most towns are facing and
apply it to the restructured
municipalities. Using the com-
munity approach, those who are
most apt to be using the facilities
would be paying for them. But
suppose we arbitrarily lump
municipalities together, say
Hullctt and Blyth. Suppose the
new leadership of the new
municipality conics from conces-
sion two or three of Hullctt
township. The real community for

these people will be Clinton, but
they will he staking decisions that
effect people in the northern part
of the township who would
normally gravitate to Blyth, and
indeed the citizens of Blyth
themselves. Now if you lived in a
part of the township where you
would never go to Blyth to play
hockey or swim, ‘vould you be
interested in what kind of
facilities Blyth had or how well
they were maintained? Heck no,
you'd only care about C'littton
facilities, and you couldn't have
any say over them anyway. So,
perhaps the facilities of 13lyth are
let deteriorate and soon,. the
people of Blyth and the comm-
unity surrounding lose the fac-
ilities they worked so hard to get.
And all because the people who
were drawing up the new
municipal boundaries took the
easy way out instead of using
their heads and staking the right
decision.
And it isn't going to be an'casy
decision, particularly for the
township politicians. It means
they are going to wipe out the old
township boundaries that have
stood for a century. But the
precidednt for the new bound-
aries already exists. For best
protection to farmers, lire areas
were set up years ago so lire
protection could be sensiblyi set
up in the rural areas and these
fire area boundaries could easily
be adapted for political bound-
aries. Sure, you will never satisfy'
everyone, Two people may live
side by side and one may consider
Blyth their home town while
another takes Brussels or Clinton
or Wingham, but small objections
aside, the community way of
reorganizing is the only way
possible.
I can't say for sure, but as one
who grew up on a farm I think few
people will really object to the old
township boundaries disappear-
ing in favour oI' community
boundaries. Growing up over in
Kinloss township I can recall no
feeling of belonging to the
township, but fell more allegiance
tri the village of Lucknoly, And, 1
remember, 1 felt much closer to
people who lived in West
Wawanosh near Lucknow than 1
did to people who lived at the
other end of our own township
closer to Kincardine than Luck -
now. 1 suspect, much the sank
feeling exists with most rural
people. Leaders \vita have sense
enough to know this will keep it in
mind when redrawing the Huron
county map.
If not, we'll end up with one
heck of a mess.

First NEIL SIMON comedy to be produced at the Playhouse. And this is one of his
super, SUPER -HITS! It deals with a forty -seven-year-old, happily married man who
suddenly wants to be a swinger. But, alas, our hero is a loser, a born loser, and all
his attempts at conquest fail. One of the funniest, most hilarious, and gutsy corn,
edies of all time. Get your seats early, its sure to be a winner!

A husband and wife team of Professors lecture to their students on marital matters
with a stress on the perils of monogamy. But theory is severely put to the test when a
Swedish colleague's voluptuous daughter arrives on the scene. With absolutely no
hang-ups, she embarks upon a dangerous, but very pleasant, and rather naughty
mission! By Leslie Stevens, it stars Playhouse Veterans, Joan Hanna and M. E. Evans.

World Famous Melodrama depicting the evils of drink. When first produced in
England more than o Century ago, it swept its audiences into a frenzied state of
despair. You too will despair at the corrupting influence of spirits on our young
manhood; of the agonizing sight of men in the throes of the D.T.s; at the lament-
able death of a drunkard's little daughter Eva; and you will cheer the return of man
to the ways of sobriety. It's theatre in the grandest, oldest tradition and you'll love
it. By William J. Pratt, Esq. !and James Murphy, Esq
