Village council Monday night approved the 1974 budget which will see a 10 mill increase in taxes on residential properties and a 13 mill increase in commercial assessmenS The increase from 97 to 107 mills in residential assessment will mean about a $20 increase in assessment on the average Blyth home assessed at $2000, Actually, taxes on expenditures within the village itself will be down this year. The general mill rate will be 42.12 as compared to 45 mills last year. The biggest reason for the increase in taxes is the county levy which stands at 27,76 this year as compared to only 16.5 last year. The County to ask for policing study elementary school levy dropped from 20 mills to 18.52 mills while the secondary school levy increased from 15,5 mills to 18.6 mills, Last year the village operated at a deficit of some $6000 after taxes were lowered from 103 mills which had stood from 1969 to 1972, The deficit, clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh admitted, was due to a goof on the part of the village's accountant last year who did not include the cost of a new water tank in the budget. Two major expenditures arc included in this year's budget: a new pump for the water department and renovation of the Memorial Hall which will be financed on debentures. tie S At the Monday night meeting several councillors expressed concern over trucks blocking main street traffic while making ' deliveries at local stores. It was pointed out , that all stores had access from the rear. A letter is to he sent to Oscar DeBoer, President of the Blyth Board of Trade to ask that all main street merchants insist on deliveries to the rear of stores, Council began the move toward a large future investment at the meeting when they voted to contact engineer B.M, Ross and Associates to begin preliminary planning on a huge new storm sewer to relieve drainage problems in the eastern section of the village. The cost of the new drain was estimated by council earlier at upwards of 5100,000. Council made a smaller expendittde with more immediate results when they approved purchase of a new.mower for the village works department. Five garbage cans were accepted by the town from Teen Scene, a local group of young people who raised money for the project then painted and fixed up the containers. Building permits were approved to G. Griffith for a new home and George Haggitt for a garage. Council was notified that its request for an extra $5000 in street subsidies was approved by the Ministry of Transport and Communications. BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER The executive committee of Huron County Council has been charged with the responsibility to look into a request from Huron County's Police Commissions to ask' the Solicitor General to conduct a study on policing needs in Huron County. Representatives of Huron's Police Commissions attended last Friday's meeting of Huron County Council and suggested the request to the Solicitor General should include the provision that any study undertaken by that office would examine "all the possible alternatives with regards to policing." The action stems from a report by the Task Force on Policing in Ontario which has suggested that all municipalities under 15,000 persons would be policed by the Ontario Provincial Police with all other forces to be disbanded. If this was made legislation, it would mean that the police forces in Huron's five towns would be dissolved. Some discussion centred around the fact that rural areas presently now pay nothing extra by way of municipal taxes for police protection since they are patrolled by the O.P.P. in the five towns, however, residents there pay heavily for their town pelie forces. It was pointed out at the meeting that in the future, it appears that the rural areas will also be paying through their municipal taxes for police protection by the OPP. That being the case, it was felt by some that a Huron County Police Force might be the most economical method of policing. • A brief containing 20 public advantages to be gained through a county police force was on the desk of each councillor for study. It promised faster service to the public in Huron County; central dispatch- ing; improved salaries and benefits for police officers; and improved policing in many other ways. The presentation noted the OPP would still patrol the highways and be a part of justice in Huron. o. BLYTH, ONTARIO. PRICE: 15 CENTS VOLUME 84 No. 23.

Countyadvised to hire study on restructuring BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER At the May session of Huron County Council held Friday in Goderich, Gardner Church of the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs spoke about John White's proposals for re -structuring local government. He told county officials the objectives was simply to eliminate as many special purpose bodies as possible and ideally; fo have one body co-ordinate all the demands on the taxpayers' money", but he warned that local government may not be ready for this responsibility. Mr. Church said that the county councils across the province appeared to be the basis for re -structuring, especially in places where the population is not large but spread out over a sizeable area. He went on to say that while counties such as Huron have been progressive and have already put a number of services under the jurisdiction of the county, there are many, many departments that are still functioning independently. He expressed • concern that it may be sometime before total re -structuring can be accomplished. The speaker told council a study into the proper plan for re -structuring in Huron, would best be done by a commissioner hired by the county, He said this method has been found superior over other ways, including engaging a consultant, and estimated the study would take about 18 months to complete and would cost about $75,000 of which the provincial govern- ment would pay half. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1974 Must fight to keep shoppers at home, retailers told A large turnout of more than 40 attended the first quarterly general meeting of the Blyth Board of Trade Monday night at Memorial Hall. Guest speaker for the evening was R.G. Shrier, president of Signal -Star Publishing Compri/ Limited, a Goderich-based publishing firm that owns newspapers in Goderich, Clinton and Kincardine and a large printing plant in Goderich which prints The Standard and nearly 20 other area newspapers. Mr. Shrier, a nationally -recognized expert. in the field of advertising in the community newspapers told the members • that they should regard advertising as an integral part of their merchandising program, just as important as a nice looking store, attractive store window displays and even the merchandise being sold itself. He said that merchants in small towns must realize that their competition is not so much the man across the street who is selling the same product, but merchants in other towns and cities within driving distance where local shoppers go to buy. He told his audience that local merchants must fight harder to keep money in their own community. In other business, the by-laws of the Board of Trade were approved unanimously. Treasurer Larry Bolger announced that there were 35 paid-up members for 1974. President Oscar DeBoer expressed pleasure at the large turnout for the meeting. Some discussion was held about the possible effects of the proposed nuclear plant south of Goderich on the local economy with more study to be given to the question at later meetings. Jail Board gets go-ahead to plan future BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Huron's Historic Jail Board will be given approval by Huron County Council to use the former jail for whatever is deemed adviseable by them providing the terns of an agreement, expected to be drawn up and signed shortly, are met. Property Committee Chairman Harold Wild reported to council the Huron Historic Jail Board is an individual board and not a sub -committee of Huron County Council. He said the terms of the agreement with that board will provide that any structural alterations to the property in question must be approved by the property committee; that the organization will adhere to any parking restrictions that will be necessarily imposed by the property committee; that while the county will carry insurance as to liability and fire protection, it will be responsibility of the jail board to carry sufficient liability insurance, content insurance etc., for their own protection; that the jail board will be responsible for the maintenance and operating costs of tlie building and ground and ensure that the building will be maintained in a safe manner; and the agreement will be for five years with option to renew. Chairman of the Jail Board is former Goderich Reeve and county councillor Paul Carroll. it is understood the jail board has plans to open the jail this summer, providing plans are not altered by unforeseen' difficulties. In speaking concerning the recommend- ations of the property committee, Chairman Wild said it was his belief that the jail board was comprised of sincere, dedicated people who deserved a chance to do what they could to bring the former jail into the limelight as an historic building and tourist attraction for Huron County.

The Empty Pew BY JENE MILLER Probably no area of modern life is more in need of full reassessment than the images we give our children •of "what is a real 'He-man' ". Let's not fall back on the poor old whipping -boy, television, but it is one way in which we .gave away responsibility for training children. Is a "HE-MAN" a gorilla with a college degree? Able to whip any male or seduce any female is proof of manliness? Is a "real man" a checkbook with a blonde attached? Is a man "really living" when he's most like an animal? Is man merely an ulcer with a private secretary? Should a boy's goal in life be described as having his own office, his own secretary and his own psychiatrist? Is a truly mature man just a "superman" who can cry? Does the fulfillment of manliness demand having the strength which knows no failure, and the sensitivity which can cry at the pain of others? All these images and more are perpetrated by the successes and fables presented to the coming ecnerations of boys as well as girls. Thus, child -en of either gender grow up with expectations of themselves and others which no one can fulfill. Divorces, suicides, and alco- holism become the erasers with which frustrated adults try to ease the pain of the broken dreams whose fragments leave gashes in their souls, and in their own children!

Care needed in growing dahlias Most dahlias, with the except- ion of the dwarf varieties, require staking for support, and prefer a sunny, protected location where the soil is rich, fertile and well -drained. "When a suitable site has been chosen, place stakes in position before planting to prevent subsequent root damage," advises Burke McNeill, horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Division of roots is the method of propagation most commonly used for dahlias, At planting time, if not before, the root clumps should be divided so that each division contains several The Empty Pew BY W. JENE MILLER There is a law on the books which would do much to stop this hijacking business. Like all solutions to social situations, it could be dangerous, and maybe our daughters would have to pay the same price to protect our country that our sons have had to pay for centuries, But it would do more than anything else to stop this terrible vulner- ability. The law is the one which makes anyone who participates in a criminal activity equally liable for all of it. That's pretty hard to say to a father who is sweating out the whereabouts of a kidnapped ' child, or a distraught husband whose wife is hostage. But, failure to enforce it with even the rich, has made poor children just as vulnerable because public sympathy is so quickly aroused. The firm enforcement of laws against paying ransom would take the pressures off the air lines and parents, and oil companies, and eventually would lessen the idea that the way to get money for self or for cause is to destroy antoher's life. There are precedents in other ways in which the law has removed pressure from profes- sions to keep them from having to decide such matters. The simp- lest illustration is the law which requires a doctor to report any gunshot wound, whether he wants to or not, or whether he knows how it was caused or not. The rigid enforcement of laws against paying ransom would help enforce the laws against kidnapping and extprtionl And the deaths of a few cduld prevent the deaths of many, eyes or new shoots. Complete clumps should not be planted, or too many stems will develop. Dahlias should be spaced at least three feet apart. Place each division on its side in a hole four to six inces deep and cover with two inches of soil. The remaining cni1 .should he added gradually as the plants grow. These fast-grow- ing plants will require watering in quantity. Because of their wide range of colors, sizes and shapes, dahlias are excellent in borders and gardens. Proper care will assure gardeners of lovely blooms from mid summer to freeze-up. JOHN LYNDON HURON -MIDDLESEX LIBERAL CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS ARE OPEN AT 43 WEST ST.

Editorial N.D.P. seems to have given up on farm vote A decade ago when the New Democratic Party was formed with much fanfare, it was supposed to be a union of farms and labour to form a major party. The old CCF party, a western farm -based party that had been fighting for farmers for 30 years was united with the labour movement. The result of this farm -labour tie-in was supposed to make the NDP a major factor in Canadian politics. That this hasn't happened has shown the major failing of the NDP party. The new partnership quickly disappeared. The old CCF wing evaporated. Labour took over. Soon, the N.D.P. which had its start on the farm, could hardly even summon up a major party spokesman who knew anything about farming. Anyone who has been to those all -party meeting nights held by the Huron County Federation of agriculture can tell you how embarassing it is to hear an N.D.P. candidate asked a question about farming. Most can hardly tell Holsteins from Jersies, let alone deal with the complicated matters of marketing legislation and other intricate farm business. The fact that the N.D.P. has all but abandoned the farm vote can easily be seen by the present federal election campaign where party leader David Lewis is flailing away at the high cost of living and particularly the high cost of food. He is promising a new board which will freeze prices and even roll them back. When he attacked the government's record in fighting inflation nearly all the figures he used were increases in food prices. Unfortunately, we are in a new age. Mr. Lewis knos that the farm vote is no longer a big factor. It is easier to ignore the farmer and try to win the city worker's vote. Mr. Lewis is simply being practical,. concentrating his limited resources where they will bring the most return: in the cities. But at the same time, he is virtually ruling out forever the possibility that the N.D.P. will ever become a truely national party, Stanfield deserves praise for strong move The campaign is not very old yet but already Robert Stanfield must be wondering why he wanted an election so badly. Mr. Stanfield was picked by most people to win the election even before it was called, but all has not gone well for him since that time, There has been dissension within his own party about wage and price controls. There is the fact that when he tries to do the picturesque things that his rival Pierre Trudeau does it just never seems to come • off. There is the fact that instead of Stanfield attacking the Liberals it most of the time seems to be the Liberals attacking Stanfield. And then there was the celebrated case of Moncton Mayor Jones being nominated as the Tory Candidate against Mr. Stanfield's expressed wishes. That just isn't the kind of thing a party likes to see happen. There was momentary embarrassment but in the end, with his tough stand, Mr. Stanfield has probably won a great deal of admiration. It took courage for him to turf out Mr. Jones when he knew that every seat counts in this tight race and the Conservatives just night lose this seat. It took courage, but it was the right move. There are many issues in the election but re -opening the bilingualism one doesn't seem to be at all necessary at this time. Mr. Stanfield probably cane out stronger for bilingualism with this move than ever in the past. If nothing else goes right for him in the rest of the campaign, at least he has shown that he has a sense of honour that can not be frightened off by thoughts of losing a seat. Football - seems we've been taken There is something rotten in the state of football. Short weeks ago we had the federal government stepping in to protect the Canadian Football League from invasion by an American League because football was so important to national unity. The government tackled the American World Football League then hinted rather strongly that the CFL should become a truely national institution by expanding to cities like London, Quebec City and Halifax. Last week the CFL had the first opportunity to live up to their end of the bargain with the federal government. They were presented with a strong bid for a new football franchise from London. They didn't turn it down. They just put a price tag of $2.7 million on it, a price so high that London had to back down. There is yet another oddity about the situation. At the same meetings of League officials that set the price for the London franchise, the league owners were crying the blues over how poor they were: they just couldn't afford to meet the demands of the players in the league for higher wages. They even offered to open the books to the players to show how poor the teams were. Here we are hearing the established teams, the teams that for the most part got their franchises for nothing, groaning about lack of money while they expect a new team to cough up $2,7 million to the right to lose money, The price tag seems more ridiculous when you remember that the best money making team in Canada, the Toronto Argonauts, with a roster of star players already signed and with plans on the drawing boards for a 50,000 seat stadium to be supplied by the city, that this team sold for $3.3 million just a few months ago, Frankly, the action of the CFL makes those who stuck up for it during the recnt CFL-WFL confrontation sick to their stomach, We have all been had...particularly Marc Lalonde and the people of London and area. BY BILL SMILEY Well, were, you alert enough to fill your gas tank and pick up half a dozen five -gallon jerrycans of the stuff before the price soared? Were you smart enough to have your furnace -oil tank filled before the stuff turned to black gold? That's funny. Neither was 1. In fact, my wife informed me, the day after gasoline prices headed for the moon, that we were riding on a pint and a prayer. "Dummy!," I stated. "Dummy yourself," she retorted, "Why didn't you tell me the price was going up?" "Twice -dummy," I responded coolly, "Why don't you read the ruddy newspapers?" "Thrice -dummy," was her unoriginal answer. "Because you're always hogging them, and you never talk to me, and I'm alone all day and never see anyone, and you come home and bury your big fat nose in the newspapers, and I'm sick and tired of it." "Bull-oney!", 1 snorted, and we were off on one of those half-hour deals so popular with married couples, and from which always emerge looking like arctic Bunker. And there wasn't a bit of truth in her tirade. I don't hog the papers. 1 let her have the classified ads section and the sports section, when I've finished with it. She's not home alone all day. She has the cats. She sec people - the postman and the garbage men - when they're not on strike. And I don't have a big fat nose. It's just big. I'm digressing. But 1 often do that when 1 get talking about my helpmeet, my other half, my chicadec, my Iambic, the Joan to my Darby, that broad who is driving nic squirrely with talk about spring cleaning. What I really began to discuss was my native ability, born knack, or sheer genius, at missing chances to save money. There aren't many such chances, in these parlous times, but every time there is one, 1 seem to be out to lunch. Show me a hydro bill, and I'll show you that it's four days past the deadline for the discount. By the way, that's one sweet racket. - Hydro sends you a bill, with a certain "discount" if it is paid within a certain date. That means that Hydro can get along quite nicely if everyone pays on time. Rght? Therefore, the "discount" is no such thing It's a penalty. Robbers, Show me an income tax return and l'il show you that i should have been paying, and have not been, quarterly, in advance, So I'm penalized, Show me a full-page advert- isement featuring a big sale, 50 per cent off everything, and i'll show you that the paper is ten days old, and the sale ended last Saturday. Show me a big jump in the price of beef or letuce, and 1 show you a craving for red meat and salad. And my wife is just the same. Show her six books of wall -paper samples - all good, sturdy durable, colorful stuff, and she will unerringly pick the one that's twice the price of all the others, My swim suit invariably springs a leak in July, before the August sales begin. My winter boots spring the same thing in January, before the sales begin. I'm a genius at not saving If I plunge for five shares of a sure -thing stock, a war starts, or Nixon says something stupid again, and there's a stock market slump.. i don't consider this to be a malignant thing. I don't really believe, though it has crossed my mind, that God has it is for rnc, Maybe it's Old Debbil. At any rate, it happens too often to be a coincidence, and I'm getting sick of it, by gum. A• typical was the first Olympic Sweepstake. 1 forgot to get a ticket. You'd think a guy's friends would remind him. But oh, no. Not them. Too greedy. And I've a sneaking notion l's have won the million bucks. Boy, would i show my so-called friends, if 1 won that, They wouldn't see me for gold -dust. But there is one little area in which my wife and 1 arc infallible, when it comes to saving money, every year we pay our house taxes in January. I think we save about eight dollars. That will show them we tell each other solemnly.

BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P,P., iUURON•BRUCEI Ontario Housing Minister Sidney Han- dleman took his lumps this week from the Opposition based on his newly announced housing action programme. The target for the programme is 12,000 housing units, either built or approved this year, that would not otherwise come onto the market. Of these 10 per cent would come under the Home Ownership Made Easy Pro- gramme for those earning less than $14,500 a year. Another 30 per cent would be for those earning $14,500 to $20,000 a year and the remainder under some type of agreement with developers to ensure prices will not rise drastically. The Opposition called the programme "housing for the rich" because only 1,200 of the new units are planned for those earning under $14,500, It is estimated that 20.30 per cent of the new units might go to those earning less than $18,000 while 80 per cent of Ontario's wage earners bring in less than that. The Opposition further pointed out that housing starts in Ontario will probably drop below last year's total of about 110,000 despite the Ministry's programme. Mr. Randleman said housing action and other programmes mean that the Govern- ment will be financing, at least in part, 31,000 housing units of the total starts. 12,000 would be under the housing action programme, 6,000 are home units ready this year, 10,000 are Ontario Housing Corporation units with rent geared to income, 2,000 are co-operative non profit units and about 1,000 arc private housing units, whose tenants receive Government rent supplement. The Minister said that In this day of rising land price the single family detached house will obviously decline as a proportion of the total housing market. It would cost about $85 million to set up a medical school in Northern Ontario according to James Auld, Minister of The nation Dead budget could be live issue BY MAURICE WESTERN Death, as someone objected, is so final. But the death of a budget is a special case; the official verdict pronounced by the 29th Parliament dies not preclude a recur• I'c C 11011. Mr. turners deceased budget has become an clement in the election campaign. The Liberals, if returned, are pledged to reintroduce it. The other parties, although they regard it generally \vith disfavor, approve certain of the proposals including the removal of the sales tax on clothing. In the eyes of a minister of finance a budget is naturally a thing oI' beauty and a joy at least until the next occasion. Even so, the Liberal promise is doubtless to be taken as a general assurance. Mr. Turner presumably \you'd not exclude a bit o1' retouching taking account of such up-to-date information as may he available to him it' and when there is a seccind unveiling. As a matter of fact retouching is not unkonwn when matters follow a reasonably, orderly course without such dramatic interruptions as that of May 8. •'Phis happened with the original master work of Walter Gordon, parts of which turned out to be unworkable. it happened also with Edgar benson's budget of March 1970. One of the highlights of that minister's presentation was a scheme for controlling conumer credit; this also was later judged to be unworkable• and disappeared altogether. The 'i'urner budget never did reach the stage of detailed examination. There was instead a very brief general debate, a parliamentary showdown and dissolution. If time had permitted, however, some of the proposals would have certainly warranted close scrutiny and quite possibly arc now receiving it from departmental officials concerned \with later develop• aunts. Vera little was said in debate about the proposed new regime ()I' taxation for petroleum and mining corporations. 13ut these were of substantial significance and did attract attention outside the House, notably from investment I'irnls. The announced increase in basic corporation tax was probably oI' less importance than proposed changes in the rules for computing income, Thus revenues derived by provincial governments from a resource were no longer to he deductible and tax i'went ives for exploration and development and the depletion provisions were to be severely cut hack. Sonic oI' the comment at the time - not reflected in Commons speeches has acquired new interest from late events. For example, the firm of Walwyn, Sodgell and Gairdner, Ltd., in a weekly letter to readers. coupled an interpretation of Mr. 't'urner's proposals with some rather ominous warnings. It was suggested - and this is borne out by the budget text - that the federal government had become increasingly concerned about the serious erosion of its tax base brought about by unilateral tax and royalty actions of the producing provinces. The letter went on, however, to suggest that Mr. Turner's true purpose was "to spotlight a ridiculous situation and to force the provinces to co-operate in working out a liar and equitable tax system for the resource industries." What led the investment researcher's to this interpretation was a calculation that the combination of federal a1(1 provincial imposts added up to a total tax package "that could only be described as ludicrous." To quote the letter: "A combination of high tax rates and disallowance of exploration and develop- ment expenses would reduce incentives for the alining industry to explore to practically nothing. In the case ()I' the oil industry, with its much larger exploration requirements. we cannot sec anything other than a complete disaster,' Comparatively little attention was paid to such suggestions in the clays immediately following the budget for fairly obvious reasons. A good deal of Robin Hood sentiment has been apparent of late both in Parliament and in the country and this was probably enhanced by the first quarter profits of leading oil companies. Indeed, one reason for doubting the emotive attributed to Mr. 'turner - that he was attempting to force a meaningful dialogue with the provinces - is the fact that the minister himself drew attention to the very large price increases of the past year and their potential for profit. It was also his vic\v that the existing incentives arc more generous than is needed to encourage continuing development, But the first quarter is well behind us. There is the more recent and disturbing tract that petroleum stocks have been taking a bad beating. Even more significant is the fact that at least two large companies have cut back their exploration programs. Colleges and Universities. Mr. Auld said there would have to be a bare minimum of 60 students to establish a medical faculty. The cost of this would be prohibitive in the Minister's view as added to the $85 million would be the annual operating costs, about a 1/3rd of that total. John White, the Provincial Treasurer charged the C.B.C. with suppresion of information when the network failed to air a programme taped by the Treasurer for broadcast last weekend. Mr. White indicated that the main point of his message was that higher federal expend- itures this year arc a important cause of inflation, The C.B.C. however, is very insistent about separation of comment on Federal and Provincial politics, particularly at election time. Post -budget developments arc open to various explanations. One is that the companies are applying pressure to the government. But there may have been miscalculation by those who prepared the budget in conditions of great political stress. The view that the companies cannot live with this new taxaytion regime is shard by some observers not always particularly friendly to them. An important question will have to be considered by the government which emerges from the election. Is this section of the budget conlpatib!e with the government's broader objectives and particularly with its recognition that very great expenditures will have to be made if we arc to avoid future shortages? After all, the vast SUMS spent in the search for frontier supplies have yet to yield a barrel for sale in southern Canada. It may be that the companies have been undertaxed in past y'hears but it will scarcely be helpful 110W 10 chase (heal ol'f to the North Sea \where prospects at the moment seem more exhilarating. If the Conservatives win the election, we shall certainly have a new budget. If the Liberals win re-election, we shall have a budget that is recognizably Turner but will it be the original Turner budget, the whole Turner budget and nothing but the Turner budget? I11 the light of what seems to be happening, it alight be unwise for the government to make any such commitment Even in the rarified atmosphere of the department of finance, mistakes arc made. If this has happened in the present ease, a bit of budget retouching would be distinctly preferable to the perpetuation of an error with potentially damaging consequences. The world Peking moves peacefully to broaden influence BY SYDNEY 11. SCHANBERG During the rush to recognize the Peking Government, number's of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have been taking their time about it. Now the first move has been made. Malaysia has reached agreement with China to establish full diplomatic relations and Prime Minister Abdul Razak is in Peking this week to formalize the step. Malaysia's move is certain to increase pressure on the other members of the association - Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore - to follow suit. However, there are histories of mutual fear and suspicion to cut through in these countries, as well as some continuing • and active - Communist insurgencies. So the timetable of these nations for the establishment of relations with Peking is not yet clear. Most diplomatic .observers believe that Thailand will be next, followed by the Philippines, with Indonesia and Singapore last, Whatever the timing, the new Malaysia - China ties provide some clues to the pattern of Peking's regional diplomacy and also conte clues to the future of the more than 16 million overseas Chinese who live outside China in the countries of Southcttst Asia. A highly skilled trading and merchant cla.,s, the overseas Chinese have conte to dominate the economies o1' most of the countries to which they immigrated. To some of these countries, they have also come to represent racial and security problems. In Singapore, the problems are somewhat different, for here the Chinese are the dominant group; they comprise 75 - per cent of the population of 2.3 million and hold both economic aid political control. But in other countries of the association they arc minorities - four million in Malaysia out of a population of 11 million, four million of Thailand's 35 million, three to four millio of Indonesia's 120 million and about 670,000 of nearly 40 million in the Philippines. • There was a time when Peking regarded all Chinese everywhere as its citizens under the doctrine of jus sanguinis • the right of citizenship by blood. But more (recently, Peking has made statements telling the overseas Chinese to be loyal to their countries of adoption. This was one of the major points in the recent negotiations, and Malaysia has apparently won assurances that Peking will not use its embassy in Kuala Lumpur to promote the rights of the local Chinese or tamper with Chilnese allegiances, An even stickier issue and perhaps the one that took longest to resolve is the fate oI' the stateless Chinese - the immigrants who are not Malaysian citizens nor the citizens of any country, but who have become permanent residents in Malaysia. There are more than 200,000 such stateless Chinese in Malaysia. They are stateless for various reasons - somc were born in their present countries of residence but have no documents to prove it, others are immigrants from China who have never sought citizenship in their new countries, and still others are immigrants who sought citizenship but were refused it. Details of the Malaysian agreement with, China have not yet been made public. Sonic information leaked from Kuala Lumpur suggests that Peking has agreed to accept these stateless persons as Chinese citizens. It is possible that sonic will choose to go to China and that Peking has agreed to this. But whatever the agreement, it will probably be carried on over a long period. The formula will likely set the pattern for the other countries in the association and a great deal of interest has been aroused over the details. Still another troublesome issue involves the insurgencies in all the countries of the association except Singapore. Sonie of the rebels are Communist -led, such as those in The Montreal Star Malaysia and 'Thailand, and they arc supported by broadcasts from radio stations in China. Somme of the-• governments have asserted that the guerrillas have also received material assistance from China but no evidence has ever been produced. The Chinese have apparently told Malaysia that their support for the insurgencies was only verbal and moral, and the Malaysians have apparently decided that this was not an overwhelming obstacle to the establishment of relations. China's gain is that she seems to have worked out a formula whereby she can widen her legitimacy and influence in Asia by establishing relations with non-Com- munist countries without appearing to betray the cause of Asian revolution. One of Peking's apparent motives is to offset Soviet influence and growing naval expansion in the region. China, for example, supports the stand of Malaysia and Indonesia over the Malacca Strait, claiming. that it is territorial and not international waters - a position that is - challenged by the Soviet Union, Malaysia's gain lies in the belief that Chinese recognition will cut the ground from under the Communist insurgency and will also case her problems with the Chinese population, both citizens and stateless.

Agricultural Sauce for the goose Well-managed pastures Tidbits is sauce for the gander cut feed costs Many dairymen depend on pastures for summer roughage feeding. Weil -managed, product- ive pastures can provide suffici• Ent nutrients to maintain medium • to Targe • sized dairy cows at a 30.35 Ib. per day milk production level. Mane claire herds have the potential of producing more than 35 lbs. milk per Cow per clay. Therefore, grain feeding in addition to the pasture is necessary to realize (hes potential. Early spring pastures are high in cvater content, rich in protein, low in fibre and palatable, As the summer progresses. pastures become more mature and the poriein content lowers, the fibre increases, the palatiblhty and digestibility decreases, An ap- preciation of the wide variation in the feeding value of pasture through out the season is fundamental. Proper pasture management goes along way in overcoming this variation in feeding value, Pastures tend to range from very good in late spring and early sumneer to good in olid -summer to fair in late summer. Protein percentages in grain mixtures should he about 12.14 per cent for very good pasture, 16 per cent for good pasture and 18 per cent for only fair pasture. Also, the volume of grain fed will depend on the quality of pasture. The better the pasture • the less grain required. Pastures ‘vell•managed to assure good • (0 very good quality pastures throughout the grazing season can save the dairyman milking 40 cows aver- aging 40 lbs. milk per cow per day about $400. - $500. in feed costs. Good pasture management does not happen by accident. 1t involves selection and seeding of the proper mixture, adequate fertilization, good weed control, avoiding too early grazing, avoiding overgrazing, fall and spring pasture harrowing. Good pasture cuts feed costs. Gond producing cows will also require grain to produce milk at their potential. Good pasture throughout the grazing season, requires ntanagenicnt.

Alfalfa weevil damage affected by weather conditions Cool, wet spring weather increases the likelihood of alfalfa weevil damamgc, says Karl Bereza, extension entomologist with the Ontario Ministry Agriculture and Food. When the weather in a given season is not abnormally cool, yet warm or dry, the life stages oI' the yre� it and alfalfa g row and develop at about the same rate. Then, the alfalfa becomes ready to cut when the destructive weevil 181 vac are nearing peak pop- ulations. By cutting at first flower or slightly earlier, plant injury is prevented. "However, it is when Feather conditions deviate from the norm that problems arise." Bereza says. The effect of the cool, wet spring last year was to hold hack alfalfa growth more' than it held hack +vccyil development. Conse- quently, when the worms appeared in destructive numbers, the alfalfa was still one or two weeks short of harvest. Only chemical control could prevent :xcessi%e crop injury. Fortunately. in most years, weather conditions arc such that early cutting is all that is needed 10 control weevil damage. "But a farmer must check his fields to determine the state of the insect and plant development each year," advises Bereza. "This should be done no later than May , 25 in the southwest counties, June 1 in the central counties and June 5 in the eastern counties of Ontario." Thereafter, all parts of each field should be re-examined at (east twice a week. There can be considerable variation in infest - When someone spends thirty years reminding people to he careful with fire, and he does it for no other reason • than to save our forests, he makes a lot of friends.

Even equipment in good 1.pt01' can break down at a critical time: at seeding, at harvest. Shortages of machinery and replacement parts have aggravated the situation. The farm -machinery industry is co-operating to reduce crop losses caused by machine breakdown, International Harvester, for example, has advised its dealers, distribution centers, plants and sales regions that "service parts will be provided for a customer with a 'down' machine even if it means removing the part from the assembly line". This critical problem has been alleviated to a degree by the fact that, in recent years, a major farm-maachinery parts depots in Ontario have remained open, on a an emergency basis, on Saturday's and holidays, at the request of the Farm Machinery Board. Hal Wright, secretary -manager of the Board says: "Plates are to continue this practice during the production season for 1974," . Most companies have a sur- charge to cover the additional costs of this service which is usually a percentage of the cost of an order, with minimum and maximum charges set.

What is the Church doing that is so important? At one time churches were a part of the fabric of society, leading, guiding, giving structure and meaning to life, but laurels of the past are uncomfortable to lean on. Where is the Church today? The best places to express faith in Christ are the village shops, the Board of Trade, and the Village Council. Or should the Church be limited to baptisms, marriages and funerals? Christians seem always to fight rearguard actions in the 'acceptable' social problems of alcoholism, abortion, and divorce, when the real decisions have been made years before the Church thinks it fashionable to attack the issues. What are the five churches of Blyth doing concretely, apart from the Sunday worship services, that say to the people of our community who refuse to take the Church seriously, and even the lordship of Jesus, whom, God highly exalted and gave the name above all other names in might and glory, "... that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil, 2:10f. MAXINE BOWES Maxine Louise Bowes, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin G. Bowes received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Science from the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario on Tuesday, June 4, 1974.

The Empty Pew BY JENE MILLER I'm having trouble getting into the mood intended by the Congress of the Unites! States of America. This august body of Solons is asking for a day of "humiliation and repentance" for the sorry mess things are in. My problem is that i was trying very hard to prevent this "sorry mess" years ago! in spite of a vice-president who went around calling people traitors for questioning his integrity, his judgement, and his war, many of the best people tried to stop a colision course with History. 1 got off lucky because 1 had an institution which protects free- dom behind me (though it did not ;agree with mc). imprisonment, impoverish- ment, and social ostracism were the rewards for many who wanted to stop the killing of boys, the buying of weapons and the destruction of both Vietnam's and America's resources, I'm sorry for the dead boys, for the little welfare -children who didn't get food, for the schools which didn't get built, for the teachers who didn't get hired, for the men who gave up their sons to keep colored televisions sets! I'm sorry for the Dr. Spocks, Dan and Dave Berrigans, for the noble soldiers who followed orders into battle and died. I'm not sorry to see America repent --that's her only hope! Al Capone considered himself a patriotic citizen, and Benedict Arnold was a war hero! Clearing Auction Sale of Livestock, Machinery and some Household items will be held for John L.

Act now to prevent apple scab 1 he apple -scab fungus spoiled the looks of nay beautiful flowering crabs last year, The rainy spring of 1973 provided a near -perfect environment for the scab fungus to infect crab and apple leaves, since infection lakes palcc only while the leaves and fruits are wet. "It is not the amount of rain that is important but the number of times it rains and how long the leaves stay wet afterward," says C.13, Kelly, of the Department of environmental Biology, Ontario Agricultural College. "Once scab spots are present, even a heavy dew that wets the leaves will provide the right conditions for more infection." Ordinarily the first scab infect- ions are started by a spore blown from the previous year's fallen scabby crab or apple leaf, About two to three weeks after the wet period, the first symptoms begin to develop and the scab is soon covered with summer spores. The summer spores wash onto other leaves an fruits during the next rain or can be carried to an adjacent tree by windblown raindrops. Last year's infection was so serious that scabs even developed on the bark of new twigs of some flowering crabs. Kelly suggests these will be a source of spores this spring if the fungus survives in the scab spots. Raking up and removing the fallen leaves helps to reduce the chances of scab. But he warns that because the spores from last year's leaves are windborne, any leaves that are, missed will supply more than enough spores to start scab again. Scab can be prevented if the leaves and fruits are sprayed with a protective fungicide. Three applications will provide suffi- cient control in most seasons; first when the petals show at the end of blossom buds, shortly before\ bloom; second when the petals' have fallen; and third about two weeks later. "However, if scab was a serious problem last year, or if spring continues to be rainy, start spraying earlier, shorten the interval between applications and add a application or two after the Member Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation VJCTORL4andGREY VG TRUST COMPANY SINCE 1889 suggested third spray," Kelly recommend~. A dormant spray of lime sulfur, diluted with 7 to 10 parts oI' water for each parr of lime sulfur (by volume), will prevent spore production on last year's infected twigs, Two brands of lime sulfur are available under trade names: Chevron's Orthorix Spray Super- ior lime Sulfur and Wilson's Dormant Spray Liquid Lime Sulfur. Most garden supply centers have products for spraying or dusting crabs and apples to prevent scab infections on foliage and fruits. These may contain capitol, (Iodine, ferbam, sulfur, benomyl or another fungicide. 'I'hc fungicide -insecticide com- binations also include materials to control insects and mites. Consult the label to find out what the ingredients are and the directions for use. Use a sprayer that can easily spray the Tops of your flowering crabs. For a thorough job, choose a still clay for spraying, so that the fungicide reaches all parts of the trees, ,• «,iir tines - - THE RLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 5, 1974. PG. 15.

Holland cheese • Six generous servings of fluffy omelet -souffle and creamy sauce filling with imported Holland Cheese, hang, onion and celery make an elegant,luncheon dish. Baked beans can be a culinary triumph We all know about baked beans and beans in sandwiches, salads and soups. But did you know that baked beans are a good source of protein, and can be used in place of meat when served along with bread, cheese or a glass of milk? They are also a good source of calcium and thiamine and an excellent source of iron and phosphorus. Cooking dried beans is easy, and with a little effort, you can transform them into a culinary triumph. You don't have to soak them for hours anymore. Just boil for 2 minutes and let stand for a hour prior to cooking. For best results, bake at 300 degrees or 325 degrees F in a heavy, covered pot for 3 to 4 hours. Leftovers aren't a problem either, as baked beans can be kept in your freezer for up to 5 months. Plan to feature beans often this summer at barbecues, buffets and picnics.

Association) and Strawberry jam When the markets grandstanG those little square boxes or larger baskets mounded with fresh strawberries, you'll be too temp- ted to resist. Give in to temptation; take the berries hoe and make strawberry jam, sug- gest food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The following recipe was tested and compared to other recipes last June, when our own Ontario strawberries were at their peak of flavor. It is not a firm jam, but which highlights the flavor of strawberries and is a little runny - just like the one Grandma used to make. STRAWBERRY JAM 8 cups washed, hulled straw berries 8 cups sugar ' cup lemon juice Place berries and sugar in alternate layers in a perserving kettle. Let stand 2 to 3 hours, Bring to a boil and boil, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and bil to jam stage, about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Skim and stir for 5 minutes to prevent fruit floating. Pour into hot, sterilized jars. Cover at once with 1/8 inch paraffin. Cool slightly and cover with tight lids. Makes about 8 cups.

Behind the scenes One' BY KEiTH ROULSTON A short editorial in the Toronto Globe and Mail Monday touched on a subject that has bothered me for a long time. The editorial dealt with a number of arrests for smoking marijuana at a recent Toronto rock festival, The editorial pointed out the hypocrisy in the law as it is being administered at the present time. 11 is against the law to possess or use drugs like marijuana or hashish. Yet, the editorial points out, you don't see the police arresting people from the ballet -set at the O'Keefe Centre during intermissions as they "perfume the air" with pot smoke, You don't see the police arresting "the middleaged bus- iness executive marijuana users at beach cocktail parties. These "straight" citizens arc ignored when they break the law. Instead the police raid rock festivals, or nightspots where the young hang out and maybe strip half the people in the place looking for drugs. law for all, please We had our own local version of this last year when a group of people were arrested and tried with. much publicity for growing and using marijuana not far from this village. They were caught because of their long hair and style of clothing and way of life made them suspect of police and many members of the comm- unity. But let's not think this was the only group using the drug in the area. One doesn't have to travel in such circles to know that drigs are being used by the so called "straight" members of society right here in Huron County. There is the business executive in a nearby town we heard of who explained how a joint of mari- juana enhances one's apprec- iation of good music. There are the house parties we've heard of even closer to home where drugs are used to liven up parties right here in this town, though we've never had the occasion to hear of such. I'm not saying 1 approve of smoking "grass". I'm not sug- gesting as the Globe and mail does that the laws be changed. But 1 am upset that there is no fairness in the law, that it is enforced only for the young, or for the long -hairs and hippies. It's not a new phenominum really. For years the same kind of prejudice has been going on in liquor law enforcement. Kids driving cars were apt to be stopped at any time by the police for searches of the car for illegal booze. If you went to the beach on Sunday afternoon, however, you could see fat tourists with their beer bellies hanging out and their beer right in sight for all to see, and the police never made a noise. For a law to be just, there must be equal enforcement for all people. That just hasn't been so in the past. Either there should be. equality or the law should be repealed. If one or the other case . is not followed, then the law truely is "an ass". .s ., ., ., ..
