School board criticizes county planning department 'FIic Fluron County Board of Education doesn't think the County Planning Department is planning well enough. 'I'Iie criticism of the planning department arose over the official plan for the village of Zurich which carie before the school board for discussion. The plan calls for the expansion of the village's residential and industrial sectors, based on a soon -to -be -completed sewage system. Board trustee Herb 'Furkhcini of Zurich terms unfounded the plan's assertion that there was "ample space at the existing site" for expansion of the 170 -pupil Zurich Public School. He said the planning department had not consulted the board on school facilities in the arca. The possibility of explosive growth in the arca should not be ruled out, he said, noting that would render the school totally inadequate. Since Ontario Hydro hinted last January it was looking at Huron County sites for nuclear generating stations to supplement the existing station at Douglas Point, it has been suggested that the Zurich arca niay be a prime candidate for such a site. Mr. Turkhcim said the Zurich school could not cope with a rapid population growth. Excess pupils would have to be bused six utiles cast to Hensall. The board will notify the Ontario ministry of treasury, economics and intergovernmental affairs, which had asked for board comments on the plan, that the planning department's evaluation of Zurich's school situation was wrong. In addition, the board will request that the county planning department discus's with the board administration future official plans when dealing with education- al facilities. Plans for new class rooms and a school for the trainable retarded to replace a 64 -year-old wing of Victoria Public School 1 in Goderich were approved by the board. Estimated cost of the project is $740,000. Replacement of the older wing of the I2 -classroom school, which education director D.J. Cochrane described as "beyond repair", is scheduled to start October 1. The addition will contain a music room, an industrial arts shop, home economics classroom and two other classrooms. Brian Garratt, of Kyles and Garratt Architects, Stratford, who showed sketches of the addition, also received board approval 10 start construction of a new boiler room to be ready by September. In other business, the hoard decided to consult the ministry of education to end discrepancies in county school board practices ‘vhich allow sonic pupils to leave school .lune 7. Trustee Jack Alexander of Wingham said it is "unfair to students" to he forced to remain al school until .lune 14 when those in surrounding counties have already started summer jobs. He said Huron County students are being put at a disadvantage. Mr. Cochrane said the difference in board practices was a result of different interpretations of ministry directives. But, he said, the Western Ontario regional office, under which Huron county falls, has adopted a policy of keeping school open until June 14. He agreed the discrepancy was unfair and hoped it would be cleared up for next year. The board also accepted a tender from Robert Campbell, RR 1, Scaforth, for masonry repairs to county elementary and secondary schools on a time -and -materials basis. Business superintendent R.B. Dunlop said the work, expected to cost about $10,000 would begin September 1. Huron -Perth Separate Board haggles over hiring of more staff BY WILMA OKE The Huron -Perth County Roman Cath- olic Separate School Board will be advertising for a supervisory officer and special educational consultant for the next school term. The decision to advertise was reached after haggling for almost two hours on the subjcct ar;d two recorded votes during a special meeting in Seaforth, Thursday to study a proposal for reorganization as presented by the Superintendent of Education, John Vintar. Mr, Vintar made the proposal to engage a supervisory officer to replace the special education consultant who has resigned and to fill the vacancy in the position of primary 2 local groups get OFY grants A total of 34 Opportunities for Youth grants have been awarded to Huron county groups, including two grants to groups from Blyth. A group headed by Evelyn Benjamins of R.R. 1, Blyth receives a grant to provide varied recreational activities fbr the elderly in senior citizens homes in Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth, there will be six students involved in the project with a total budget of $4,900. Marsha McNall of Blyth heads the second project. The . project involves planning and subsequently landscaping of the Blyth Union Cemetery. The group also includes six students and has a budget of $4,375: consultant. Because of major curriculum in -school follow-through supervision, guidance and e%aluation and for leadership training of principals, Mr. Vintar sug- gested thcsr; could be implemented with the assistan.•e of a supervisory officer. He said about +0 per cent of a supervisory officer's time would be utilized in the schools. David Teahen of Stratford asked if it would tit • be trying to squeeze three into one. He s.tid he thought the junior division was being deprived. He asked what primary was involved and was told by Mr. Vintar Kindergarten to Grade 3, is primary. Ted Geoffrey asked where the consul- tants really worked and did they visit the schools frequently. Mr. Vintar told him consultants go into a school by request only, either by the principal or the teacher. Howard Shantz of Stratford asked, "if we hire additional high priced help how do we get rid of then if they are not to our advantage?" Mr. Vintar replied, "We have to work together as a team, and Mr. Shantz agreed, "We should be pulling together," Joseph Looby of Dublin said he was in favour of another supervisory officer who could be in the school 90 per cent of the time. Mr. Shantz replied that the Stratford taxpayers did not want to meet his extra expense of a supervisory officer when both a primary and ' special education consultant are going to be needed. F.J. Vere of Stratford stated that if a supervisory officer or a consultant were hired it should be on a probationary basis. Michael Connolly, chairman, stated the board should advertise for both supervi- sory officer and special education consultant and leave it open to take an , alternative, maybe the better of the two. Mr. Teahen said, "i can't see how we can support having a supervisory officer when we need a special educational consultant. Could we hire a person to carry out both duties?" Questioned by mr. Connolly if anyone in the system had written his supervisory papers, Mr. Vintar said no one had. Donald Crowley, R.R. 2, Gadshill, asked if teachers do not have an understanding of slow students and ' asked why some teachers have more than others and he wondered if a supervisory officer would have a better view on this rather than a consultant. Vincent Young of Goderich asked if principals are in the classrooms supervi- sing or if they are teaching full time. Mr. Vintar told him the principals try to do the best they can in the time allotted for supervision. Mr. Looby said that a supervisory officer should be hired and "then we'll know what is going on within the system. Supervision is necessary," Mr. Teahen said a consultant with supervisory qualifications should be hired. Mr. Shantz asked why the principals couldn't be in charge of the schools and not have another supervisory officer above them. He suggested hiring the consultant this year and next year reviewing the case again to consider hiring a supervisory officer, Mr. Looby said again there was not enough supervision within the schools. Gordon Ball of St. Marys asked if the ad could be "and" and "or", but his was ruled out. Joseph Looby made a motion to advertise for two persons, a supervisory officer and a special education consultant. in the vote, recorded at the request of Mr. Shantz, the motion was defeated. Supporting it were Oscar Kieffer of R.R. 1, Bluevale; Ted Geoffrey of R.R. 2, Zurich; Mr. Looby; Arthur haid, R.R 4, Listowel; and Mr. Young. Voting against were E.J. Vere, Pat Cart) , Howard Shantz and David Teahen, all of Stratford; Gordon Ball, Donald Crowley; and Francis Hicknell, RR 5 Seaforth, Following more talk Mr. Hicknell made the second motion to advertise for a supervisory officer and this motion carried in a recorded vote 7-5. Supporting were: Kieffer, Geoffrey, Looby, Haid, Hicknell, Crowley and Young. Against were: Vere, Carty, Shantz, Ball and Teahen. The third motion, to advertise for a special education consultant was carried, 7-5, but a recorded vote was not requested. One trustee questioned the legality of this third motion as being out of order since the passing of the last wo motions was the sank as the first motion which was defeated. Mr. Connolly said it was all right because they were worded differently. In other business Jack Lane, Business Administrator, informed the trustees that the budget allottment may not be sufficent if the bank interest rate keeps climbing as it is now, at a new high as of May 10 at 11 per cent. Mr. Shantz questioned $27,000 being the cost per year for supply teachers. "This has to be unreal," he said, mentioning the sick leave problem in Stratford in the police department. Mr. Vintar informed him the bulk of the money was for sick leave but some was for supply teachers when regular teachers are attending authorized meetings. He said records are kept. 1 1 • 4'. • \_ Box 10, Blyth, Telephone 523.9646 • tie ack be nimble,, Jack be quick 'Jack jump over the candle stick.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 22, 1974. Editorial How will they stand up? The campaign for the July 8 election has hardly started yet, but already there are some trends that will be interesting to watch develop. The most interesting developments centre around centre around the two major party leaders, the two men most likely to be Prime Minister when the whole giant crap game is over. Much has been said about the "new" Pierre Trudeau, the hard-nosed politician who emerged from the body of the philosopher king after the near defeat in the 1972 election. Much has been said about his new fighting spirit. it will be interesting to see if he can pull it off in his new role. Not much, however, has been said about the real problems and questions surrounding Robert Stanfield, the man may think will be the next prime minister. it will probably be more interesting to see what happens to him in the next couple of months than what happens to Trudeau. As the election campaign started, most of the political pundits had just about already started calling Stanfield Mr. Prime Minister. Most felt it was just a matter of time before he took over the reins of power. But it will be a tough fight before the expectation becomes a fact and there could be many changes. For instance, until now Stanfield has gone nearly completely without criticism from the Liberal Government,, from the press and from the public. During the 1972 election, the Liberals were running on their record, and almost completely ignored Stanfield. So, while people vented their frustration on Trudeau, they had little reason to criticize Stanfield. All through the last Parliament with unemployment and inflation nagging the country, the government was on the defensive and Stanfield could criticize without sticking his neck out. He kept pecking away, but really drew little adverse criticism from press or government. Now, however, things are quickly changing. The whole election campaign started with many people critical of Stanfield for being so hungry for the defeat of the Liberals that he foisted a summer election on them, His main plank in the fight aga'nst inflation has been wage and price controls, but when people really come down to the possibility that they might get them, they aren't too sure they want them. What farmer, for instance, would want prices frozen at their present level? And then there's the fact that all the Liberal guns are aimed on Stanfield this time out. The Liberals, especially Trudeau, and set to pick holes in every Tory policy. Stanfield, now cast in the role of favourite to win, will have to bear the bunt of criticism. Can he stand the heat? Only July 8 will tell. Sympathy hard to find Sometimes it's hard to find sympathy for people suffering. People are dying and suffering in the middle East these days, but how can you really summon up much sympathy for them? Arab commandoes, operating out of refugee camps, captured a school house in Israel and when they are rushed by the Israelis, calmly open fire on the school children held hostage. Many die, many more are injured. For a moment your sympathy'rests with the Israelis as they weep and cry for revenge. But revenge comes in a horrible way. The Israelis air force indiscriminantly bombs Arab refugee camps killing many, many more. How can you sympathize with the Israelis any more? It is the innocent who get killed in the fight between governing factions you think to yourself. But is it really? Innocent Israeli school students were killed, but it was ordinary Israeli people who shrieked for revenge. The revenge they asked for killed many innocent Palestinian refugees, but these same refugees gave support to the guerillas who attack and kill Israeli school children, Much the same situation exists in Northern Ireland where a few short weeks ago it was Catholic supporters who were bombing, burning and killing, but now it is Protestants who are doing the same things. As long as people are so stupid that they can see only revenge; as long as they are so blind that they can only see the other side as all wrong and themselves as all right; as long as they continue to want to see blood flow, is there any way the rest of the world can stop it? Who really cares about inflation? Inflation is supposed to be one of the big issues in the upcoming election but it appears to be somethning of a phony one. Oh there's inflation all right and something needs to be done about it. People are being hurt. The problem is that the people who are being hurt aren't the ones who arc getting the attention. You hear pious words from all the politicians about helping the poor and those on fixed incomes, but these are just words, When it comes to political clout, the poor and elderly don't stand a chance. It is the'great middle-class who have the clout. It is the union member, the school teacher, the doctor, the businessman who wields the real power in Canada. It is they who are really screaming about inflation, and despite the words about the poor, it is this group that gets the attention., That's why inflation is a phony issue; Listen to the middle class, and you'll heir how it's costing too much to eat, too much for housing , and too much `for the other necessities of life, Yet take a look at the facts. The Toronto Globe and mail reported Tuesday that despite a 30 per cent increase in price, manufacturers of camping goods can't keep up with the demand for their products. A salesman of pre -fabricated cottages says sales were as brisk as if "we were selling hot dogs at five cents each". A man who sells $12,000 motor homes says that since the gas' scare stopped, everything has gone crazy. There's going to be a shortage, he warns. Hotel reservations in Ontario are up 25 per cent despite higher prices, Demand for sailboats has increased by 25 per cent in one year. Cottages in Muskoka are selling for at least $35,000. Inflation can't be hurting the middle-class all that much, And if it is, let's not forget that it is the middle class, by being willing to buy goods no matter what the price, that has fanned inflation, Unfortunately, it is the poor the elderly and those on fixed incomes that are paying the price. Al.: THIS & ALICE YER POOR WIFE WENT T' BINGO AN' YER'VE AD T' WAIT --FEN MINUTES I F YER TEA?' Town engineers - who needs them? I can understand why a president or a king is assassinated. What I fail to understand is why town councillors are not assassinated fairly frequently. In the lirst case it is usually done by a crank, nut, or fanatic. In the second case it would be done by a group of irate citizens. What is done is many small towns these days in the name of "progress" is so difficult to believe that the mind reels at the prospect. You've all seen it. in a desparate attempt to get bigger and more progressive, towns across Canada have assaulted the eye, the car, the nose, and plain common sense. I believe the definition of rape is, "Carnal knowledge without consent." If this is so, there is a lot of rape going on in Canada these days, in villages, towns and cities. Again, you've all seen it. Turn the fertile farmlands on the edge of town into new "developments". Cut down all the trees. pave everything that isn't paved. All in the name of those great moderin gods, "the car", and "business". And all with the benign approval of misguided town councillors, who actually believe, in the dim little recesses of their minds, that they are contributing to "progress". "Progress" is usually just a synonym for what the town's businessmen want. And what they want is more business, so they can make more money. That's fine. That's their bag. But very often they can apply pressure and exert influence with results that cynically bulldoze the desires of the average citizen, who is not cognizant of their wheeling and dealing until it's too late. Don't get me wrong. I'm not just an old grump, who thinks any change is going to be disastrous. I've served on the other side of the fence, and I am aware of the abuse a councillor receives, the long hours he spends on other people's business, and the lack of appreciation for what he does. But on the other hand, as a councillor, a YUKON SHORTS More than 300,000 people visited the Yukon during 1973, the 75th anniversary of the Klondike Gold Rush, This is an increase over last year's figures of 15 per cent. Seventy-five per cent of tourists visiting the Yukon were American in 1973. Most came from California, Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. reporter, and a citizen, I have seen some of the dimmest characters in town elected to council because no one else wanted the job. And I have seen what they can do to reduce a beautiful small town to an ugle, noisy, stinking mess. Bigger isn't necessarily better. In fact, it's usually worser. But many a municipal councillor thinks he's going to get into the Canadian history books or something if he helps make his town bigger. Too few of them stop to thiaik farther than five years ahead. As I suggested, strongest influence on the councillors comes 1,om businessmen. But the latter's closest ally is nearly always the "town engineer" More councillors have been bamboozled by town engineers than there are flies on a dead clog. Your average councillor doesn't have much technical knowledge. Consequently he is mystified and awed by such terms as "access road" and "drainage" and "right of way", Quite wrong is the councillor. He should question and find out what the hell is going on. Engineers, in my opinion, are not superior beings . They arc people who like to build things, and tear thcings down. And the latter often precludes the former, Show an engineer a tree and he'll hand you a chain saw. Show an engineer a cure and he wants to straighten it. Show an engineer a garden and he wants to pave it. Show him a hill and he wants to flatten it. Show him a beautiful rushing river and he wants to dam it. It's the engineers who should be damned in this country. We need trees and curves and gardens and hills and rivers. We don't need stumps and straight lines for speeding and more parking lots and bulldozed flats, and dams that flood thousands of acres. We need fewer, many fewer, engineers. Show me a town engineer who has ever looked at a 100 -year-old maple without lust in his heart, who has ever looked at a space more than 25' x 25' without wanting to asphalt it, or who sees any running water even from the kitchen sink, without wanting to divert it, and I'll show you a freak who will be kicked out of the Professional Engineers' Association at its next meeting. Oh, well, all is not lost. My neighbour brought me two huge platesfull of cleaned smelt last week There's still hope for the human -race. But not for dumb councillors and rapacious engineers. They will all go to hell. I hope. standard KEITH & JILL ROULSTON Co -Publishers Published every Wednesday at .Queen St., Blyth, Ontario.

Hydro may reapply for expropriation of further land when it can more precisely slate how much land it needs and where the transmission line will be built. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 22, 1974. Pg. S. Otherwise, the way is cleared for the $50 million dans. Environment Minister William Newman confirmed the Inquiry Officer's finding that Hydro's evidence about how much land it needed and for what purposes was "vague and unconvincing". Ontario Housing Minister Sidney Hand- Ienlan said this week that house prices are on the way down and will bring savings that will reach buyers on lower incomes, He attributed this to the Province's new Land. Speculation Tax, However, the Opposition pointed out that the facts do not seem to bear this out as housing costs rose six per cent within the arca covered by the Toronto Real Estate Board in the month of April. Premier William Davis said there arc no plans to review or stall the increase in gasoline prices "at the moment", but he could not see any reason for prices going up as much as they will in the next few days, more than nine cents a gallon for at least three brands. It was estitnated that the stock of oil and oil products produced at the old price would last until mid-May. Mr. Davis told the Legislature he found it hard to understand an increase beyond the rough seven cents that was agreed to at the Ottawa conference six weeks ago. Ontario residents pay a total of $44 million for each one cent increase in the price of a gallon of gasoline and fuel. The Provincial tax on gasoline is 19 cents a gallon. The Ontario Government has changed its mind for the second time and decided denturists should be allowed to work independent of supervision by dentists if they pass qualifying examinations, Health Minister Frank Miller siad that the denturists who wrote the examination to qualify to work under dentists now will be able to work independently, However, they will have to pass uprading examinations when they are set. Denture therapists will not be allowed to make partial dentures except under dentists' supervision. They will be restricted to full upper and lower plates for fitting in a mouth where no teeth remain in the upper or Iowcr jaw or both. Making a partial denture is a much more complicated procedure than making a full plate according to Mr, Miller because of possible problems with djacent teeth and so this work should be supervised by a dentist. The nation Western alienation shows in battle over aircraft maintenance BY EGON !TECH Their red Air Canada insignia fading slightly under the harsh prairie sun, a forlorn group of Voscount passenger aircraft sits in mothballs at the south end of Winnipeg International Airport. Like tombstones, the turbo -prop birds sit as mute beacons to anyone who troubles to search out the roots of western alienation. They mark the clays when Winnipeg was the hub of the country's air industry, when Trans -Canada Airlines wtill remembered its birthplace at Stevenson Field int he middle of the country. They are a reminder, too, to citizens of Winnipeg that not only the Air Canada head office, but also the airline's maintenance base was nor. d to Montreal during the Sixitics, Not that residents of Winnipeg, or of Manitoba, need a reminder. They are keenly aware of' the struggle between factions of the federal Cabinet over the location of Air Canada's next overhaul base. Air Canada has already decided it wants "to overhaul its new Boeing 727 aircraft, five of which will arrive this year, at an expanded facility at Montreal's Dorval Airport. 13ut the decision has been taken out of Air Canada's hands and is being discussed at the Cabinet level, ostensibly with regional interests being taken into consideration. What is more likely, in the midst of an election campaign, is that not only regional interests but regional voting patterns are being considered, and the Cabinet's decision will reflect the necessity of winning scats in Manitoba or Quebec. Manitoba's champion, Defence Minister .lames Richardson, has been playing coy with not only his Cabinet colleaiucs but his Winnipeg constituents in holding off any announcement of his intentions to seek renomination in Winnipeg South. It appears certain he is running, since he sent literature to households in the constituency last weekend telling voters the wonderful things the federal Govern- ment has already clone for the West and particularly for Manitoba. But the lack of a definite yes is holding uyp the start of the Liberal compaign in Manitoba. Asked whether he would consider The world Red giants hardly Take with two hefty pinches of salt Moscow's claim that the Soviets have been desperately seeking peace with Peking but have been spurned. The proposal for a meeting between Mao Tse-tung and Leonid Brczhnev may in fact have been made, But everyone listening to Soviet and Chinese radio stations in the past year knows they have been trading words not of concord and honey, but of the vilest abuse heard since the early '60s. When the break between the two Communist states cane itt July, 1960, both dipped into their archives for all the dirt they could find on each other. Peking charged that the Soviets had reneged on their promise to give China a sample A-bomb; that they spied on China and sought to dictate Chinese policies. The Russians, in turn, pictured Mao and his associates as warmongers. A Moscow official once told me of a Chinese potitbureau meeting to which some top-ranking Soviet guests were invited. The Russians said Mao urged them not to worry about the nuclear "paper tiger" and argued that even if hundreds of millions perished, the survivors could still build a happy new world on the ruins. Now that Moscow has catalogued its efforts to achieve amity and good manners, 1 have gone through the recorded radio broadcasts for April to see what the two have really been saying to each other, In a speech in late April, Brezhnev denounced. the "Maoist leadership" as part of the world reactionary force. Boris Ponomarev, the Soviet ideologist, assailed the same Hien for their "incredibly shameless slander of the party and homeland of Lenin" and for sabotaging detente and socialism. retiring from politics–and thereby pretty well writing off Manitoba for the Liberals••if Winnipeg doesn't get the new overhaul base, Mr. Richardson plays coy with newsmen, too. i-Ic merely says that it wouldn't be proper to deal with his fellow Cabinet ministers that way. The Dorval site also has its champions, among them Science and Technology Minister Mrs. Jeanne Sauvc and several othc Quebec Cabinet ministers who outnumber and outrank Mr. Richardson. At the lower echelons, ironically, the battle is being waged by two locals of the sank union --the International Association of Machinists, which represents Air Canada maintenance technicians at Dorval and the technicians at CAE Industries Ltd. in Winnipeg, who would be the most likely candidates for carrying out the Boeing overhaul and maintenance work should Air Canada deckle to establish a new base in Winnipeg. The Montreal local has been arguing that construction of the base in Winnipeg would cost its members jobs, but that would be so only if Air Canada were sound like friends Radio Peace and Progress, which beasts Soviet propaganda at Asian listeners including "dear Chinese soldiers," said China already had nuclear missiles that could reach Pew Delhi and Tokyo, and in the near fut .re would "obviously begin serial production of giant long-range missiles" that presumably could reach Moscow. How wonderful it would be, the radio sale , if the billions spent on the missiles ould be spent instead on replacing the peasant's hoe with a tractor. The sten in Peking, Radio Moscow said, were opposed to the disarmament conferences in Geneva and Vienna and were "trying to revive the worst period of the cold war." 'Their statements had "a strong smell of the Goebbels type of propaganda." The Chinese, in turn, are on an anti -foreign binge, with the Soviets as one of their main targets. In their broadcasts, the Chinese have been lumping the czars of the past with the "new czars" of our day. At mass meetings the people are being told that, back in 1900, Russian troops burned and looted Chinese villages and drowned trussed -up men itt border rivers. The "new czars" had in 1969 used tanks to try to slaughter Chinese villagers but had been painfully repulsed. A military man in Harbin has been heard saying in a broadcast that since "the Soviet renegade clique—is wildly anti -China and wants to cut our throat and turn our country into its colony, a failure to struggle against it means betrayal." Harsh words continue to fly both ways, Meanwhile, a Soviet helicopter that strayed across the border was captured and remains in Chinese hands The Soviets insist it was on a mercy mission; the Chinese say it was spying. The Soviet press is publishing moving reports of the crew's sorrowing families, and Moscow has.warned Peking that the You don't need a green thumb phasing out the Douglas DC -9 aircraft now serviced there. The company is keeping these aircraft in service, however, and the new Boeing 727s are additions to the fleet that can't be handled in the same shop. One of the arguments that alight sway the Cabinet, particularly if it is now having second thoughts on its commitment to regional equality made last summer, is that Quebec's unemployment rate is much higher than Manitoba's. Manitoba has the second -lowest uneniployntent rate in the country, but this is not a phenomenon caused by an abundance of jobs. When Air Canada Weaved its overhaul facility to Dorval, for example. about 1,000 skilled aircraft technicians were left behind in Winnipeg to work for CAE. That number has dwindled to about 200 because of a lack of work for CAE,.but there is not a great pool of unemployed aircraft technicians in Winnipeg. They have, like so many others who couldn't find opportunities on the prairies, moved elsewhere to look for work. Manitoba has no employment problem because it exports its unemployed. -Toronto Globe & Mail failure to return the craft might lead to grave consequences.

Eddy is the kind often described as "all boy" - - active, adventurous and inventive about ways to get into mischief. He needs parents who will appreciate his lively spontaneity and yet combine warmth and firmness. Eddy is a handsome boy, a little small for his eight years, with brown eyes, dark hair and medium complexion. He is in good health. Last year Eddy was in a class for children with learning disabilities where he did well. This year he is in a regular Grade one-two class doing work at both levels. Eddy has had numerous tests, some of which indicate he is below average, but his teacher feels he is of average intelligence. Eddy likes to be outdoors. He loves competitive games and enjoys tobogganing, playing in water (or mud I and riding his bike. He plays hard and sometimes gets really dirty, but he also likes to be well-dressed and neat on occasions. Eddy needs parents who will have the time and desire to give him much individual attention. He does best with children either much younger or much older than himself. To inquire about adopting Eddy, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2.

The bride, given in marriage by her father, chose a floor -length A-line dress with an empire waist From the Minister's Study BY PASTOR ALFRED FRY In the book of Exodus, Chapter 32, Verse 26, we read of an encounter between Moses and the children of Israel. God had called Moses to the top of Mount Sinai, there God had prepared a tablet of stone on which were inscribed the Ten Commandments. Moses had left the people in charge of his brother Aaron, because Moses was a long time gone, the people became restless and said, "Moses will not return". So they asked Aaron to make a Golden calf. He gave into therm and they began to worship this image. But Moses did return and when he saw them dancing around this golden calf, and knew that they had turned against God, he was very angry. Moses pitched his tent outside the camp, then called upon those who were still loyal to God to come with him. The whole people were asked to make up their mind, whose side they were on. It says that one tribe the tribe of Levi took their stand with Moses and for God. We arc living in a very wicked world, the challenge goes out to us all: Whose side are you on, Christ's or Satan's? You and I must make this choice for no one else can do it for us. Moses had promised to returned, but because he delayed his return, the people started to doubt. The Lord Jesus Christ, after His death and resurrection, told his friends that He would go back to His Father, but He also promised to return. Read John 14. Because Christ has delayed His coming again, many are doubting God's word, many have left the church and the faith of their Father's. Time is getting short, life is uncertain, "Whose side are you on? and ',land up collo''. The .l('eves, v‘' F(' full Irn.('.rh lire ltCrc(1 ui! .

How much would we have to pay then for milk? Milk Silly question? Not so very silly as it might appear at first. Thousands of milk producer's are leaving this part of farming evcy year. Up to now much has been salvaged by greater efficiency by the remaining producers, but how long will that be possible? Mr. Pigeon, president of the Dairy Farmers of Canada said recently that young men in his a'ea are going to the factories and make from $175 to $200 per week. "Why," he asks,,, should a young man invest about $200,000 in a far'ni, work twice as long and gets less money?" The dairy man has to receive a better income or sooner than you think we will have to pay import prices, ***** David Lewis' accusations against food retailers making unjustified high profits arc echoed by America's Agriculture FREDA CLARK Miss Clark, a member of the Board of Examiners of the Royal Conservatory of Music will conduct examinations for the Royal Conservatory in Blyth on June 6 and 7.

A graduate of the Conservatory, Miss Clark was the winner of the coveted Vida Coatsworth Prize. Spring feeding of lawns 'i'he arrival of spring means it's time to get out your fertilizer spreader. "Lawns usually benefit from about four applications of a 'complete' fertilizer each year," says John Hughes, horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. "The first application should be given in early spring, just before active growth begins." Most gardens supply centers stock special turf fertilizers such as 7-7-7, 12-6-6 or 10.6.4, all suitable for lawns and turf generally. Usually a rate of 15 to 20 pounds of 7.7.7 per 1,000 square feet (or proportionate amount of a different grade of fertilizer) will take care of the early season requirements of your lawn. Using a spreader, apply the fertilizer evenly, being careful not to leave strips or overlap. Pulverize any lumps that might burn your lawn. To achieve a uniform application, it is often a good practice to apply half the fertilizer going in one direction and the other half at tight angles • to it. Secretary Earl Butz, "Prices of major farm conimod- ities have dropped 20 to 40 per cent since January and February. It is high time that these lower farm prices show up more fully in lower retail store prices. While food prices at stores have levelled off some, margins are still higher than normal." These are harsh words from the USA's highest agricultural official. ***** Food prices dropped some, if not in the proportion of farm prices, April food costs in the house dropped a fraction, while food prices at the farm dropped like a brick. A price freeze, as advocat- ed. by the Conservatives would freeze niy price at the farm to bring nie right into bankruptcy. It is interesting to note that the overall food cost went up. t'i'his because the cost of eating out increased by almost two per ecn1. This however is not a true food cost, but a service cost. Statistics Canada rates it as a food cost. ***** Mrs. Plunit'e, of the Food Prices Review Board, said that; "Fat m incomes are up 89 per cent, but as recently as three years ago, farriers were not getting any return on labour and investment, and even today dairy farmers are not always getting a return. This is why the cost of dairy produce is going up." THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 22, 1974. PG. 13. U.C.W.

McClinchey was in 'charge of the Devotional Period. She used as her theme, "Let Us Praise Thee Oh God", The scripture was read by Miss M. Jackson. The fourth Mission Study was given by the Willing Workers Keep your Well -kept garden hedges can be very useful to divide areas of the landscape; they screen busy roads, help prevent trespassing, and provide attractive back- grounds for flower borders. But allowed to become neglected and overgrown, they can only be brought back to a neat condition by severe pruning. If old branches are removed regularly after flowering each year, new growth will develop and heavy cutting is not neces- sary, says Russ Gommc, horticul- turist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Otherwise, he recommends neglected decid- uous hedges such as privet, Alpine currant, honeysuckle and Caragana, be cut back to ground level in the early spring. New growth will soon appear and can be encouraged by fertilizing at the rate of one pound for every 15 feel of hedge. In a season or two, regular pruning of tops and sides can be resumed.

Plan your pasture feeding program around E9'DARIFLO 14%dairyration In the Spring and early Summer, pasture will provide the major part of the forage diet. Grasses and legumes are high in protein and can support relatively high levels of milk production without additional protein supplementation. The limiting factor for high milk production during this period is more likely to be lack of sufficient energy. Under these conditions,CO-OP' Dari -Flo 14% Dairy Ration is the feed recommended to provide the additional energy necessary to maintain body weight and condition on high producers. CO-OP Dari -Flo 14% Dairy Ration is a high energy, low protein diet specifically formulated to provide least cost milk production when fed on pasture. CO-OP Dari -Flo 14% Dairy Ration can be purchased in pellets or mash, in bulk or bag, from your Co- operative. Keep in mind too, that if you still have grain, you can formulate your own balanced ration with CO-OP Dari -Flo 36% Dairy Supplement, The grains used should preferably be a combination of high energy grain (corn, wheat, barley with oats) in relation to the cost per pound of TDN and to our recommended use of these grains in the diet.

Behind the scenes Thank goodness...hockey's over BY KEITH ROULSTON By right about now probably the last thing you'd like to read about is hockey. We're both in the same boat on that, but this column is going to be about hockey anyway. Canadians have been hockey crazy for nearly a century now, and it seems that if anything is going to change that it will be the NHL and the Americans. Even for avid hockey fans, the length of the NHL schedule and playoffs is a little ridiculous. Somehow, by the time the final buzzer in the final game of the Stanley Cup's final series sound- ed on Sunday, 1 couldn't give a darn. Matter of fact, 1 didn't even see the game...and i can't say I missed it nmtch. I didn't see many of the games of the playoffs this year. It seemed every time there was a game on television 1 had something else more urgent to do. Those 1 did watch left me strangley drousy by the middle of the second period. This one-time rabid hockey fan could hardly stay awake in the Stanley cup final. Unheard of a few short years ago. I can remember as a lad being sent to bed before the playoff games were over and sneaking down the stairs again so 1 could at least listen to the happenings. 1 can remember placing a few bets as 1 grew older, though cautious man about betting that I am they were for pretty small amounts. I can remember being hardly able to wait for the new season to begin as soon as the old one ended, But not any more. The season is too long nowdays. There arc too many teams with too many players. There are too many idiotic fans in too many U.S. cities where a hockey game resembles a night of watching the Christians getting eaten by the lions at the old Roman forums. There are too many numbskulls masquerading as players like "Mad Dog" Kelly and Dave "The Hammer" Schultz. There is too much show biz and not enough sport left. There arc too many stupid things done to try to sell the sport to the U.S. hockey fan, particularly on television. Hockey franchises are handed out not because a city deserves one, but because it is an important cog in a television network. California Golden Seals and Los Angeles Kings became members of the NHL in 1967 because they were large population areas important to television coverage. Vancouver was overlooked and only added Sunshine Unit holds May meeting The regular meeting of the "Sunshine" Unit of Blyth U.C.W. was held on May 7 in the Church parlour. Miss Hazel Petts was in charge of devotions. Her theme was "Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbour". Hymn 502 was sung. Mrs. Millar Richmond was the pianist. Offering was received by Mrs, Harv. McDowell and dedicated. Mrs. Harry Armstrong read the parable of "The Good Samaritan, followed by "Who is My Neighbour" read by Miss Petts followed by prayer. Hymn 504 was then sung. The fourth presentation of the Mission STudy was introduced by Mrs. Holland of the Willing Workers Group. Those taking part were Miss Jackson, Mrs. Appleby, Mrs. Radford, Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. McCullough and Mrs. Watt. Mrs. Smith took the chair for the business and thanked the Willing Workers for their very interesting and informative pres- entation of Study Bood based around Trinity Church, Toronto. Mrs. SMith opened by reading a poem entitled "Not in Vain". Mrs. Easom read the minutes of April meeting. Roll was called and answered by 18 members. They had 10 visitors. June roll call will be answered with a verse of scripture containing the word. "Prayer". Mrs. McDowell gave the trea- surer's report and Mrs. Snell the card report, birthday money was received. Mrs. Hoonard moved that they cater to an August wedding, seconded by Mrs. Richmond. A bake sale was discussed and planned for a later date. The meeting was closed with prayer. A delicious lunch was served by Mrs. Snell, Mrs. Walden and Mrs. Campbell. 5% DISCOUNT ON ALL PURCHASES MADE FOR CHILDREN WITH THE Family Allowance cheques Men's Work Boots BY KAUFMAN, SISMAN & GREB IN REGULAR & STEEL TOES PRICED FROM $15.95 to $30.00 1! 11:W.

The NHL has started playing too much for the bucks and not for the fans, Team owners now scream about the salaries they have to' pay players, but they were the ones who showed that the almighty came first. The big buck the Canadian players make is about the only good thing that has happened to Canada in the past few years whent he ,NHL and WHA have gone money hungry for the U.S. dollar. 'i'o be sure, hockey interest in Canada is still high, but J wouldn't be surprised to see it taper off a lot in recent, years if the big bosses don't watch out. Canadian fans just don't get all excited over watching hundreds of thousands of idiots in the streets of Philadelphia celebrate a win. They want to see good hockey, and they'd like to see it in Canada. The big hockey bosses should remember that the long .term benefit of hockey depends on keeping we Canadians hockey crazy. If we aren't, our Sons don't play hockey and maybe switch to other sports. If they do, the big leagues have to do without Canadian hockey players and right now there just isn't any other country in the world that can produce good hockey players in the abundance needed. 011 well, the season is over at last, so we can forget about it for a while...for a month or so at least before the season opens again. News from The residents enjoyed a song service on Sunday evening sponsored by .the •Christian Women's. Club of South Huron.
