East Wawanosh taxes increase 3 mills Most East Wawanosh township taxpay- ers will be faced with a tax increase of three mills this year but residents of the township in Auburn will be getting a five mill tax break. The overall increase of three mills is caused mainly by the increase in road budget to cover replacing of the decking on the 10th line bridge, capital expenditure on the township shed and provision for a new tractor. Auburn ratepayers will get their break because a five mill special levy will be removed this year. The Auburn rate will be 70.985 mills compared to the public school supporters rate of 87.7 mills for business and commercial and 80.7 for farm and residential. Separate school supporters will see their taxes rise by nine mills because of the additional road work and an increase in the separate school levy. East Wawanosh also took a step toward forming a recreation committee at the June meeting. Bud Britton of Hanover, a consultant from the Youth and Recreation branch discussed the question with council and the council asked the clerk to draw up the necessary by-law to form the association and bring it before council. A by-law regarding what is to constitute a legal wire fence was approved. A grant of $75 was made to the Salvation Army and a membership in the Huron County Road Superintendents Association was -purchased -for Aj.S. Morris council grants contract extension It was a meeting of looking after routine business as the Morris Township council held its June meeting June 3. Maloney Brothers Ltd. was granted an extension of 30 days on its contract for a storm sewer at Belgrave because the project he% been delayed by events beyond the control of the company. Mr, Bud Britton of Hanover was present to discuss the possibility of forming a township recreation committee with the council. Three applications for tile drainage loans were accepted and James Mair was appointed to look after repairs to the Sellers and Ellis drains. A donation of $25 was given to the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal and a grant of $10 was given to the Huron County Historical Society. A $15 membership in the Huron County Road Superintendent's Society was paid. A petition for drain repairs on concession 9 is to be forwarded to Hullett township council for their attention. Road accounts of $3902.12 and general accounts of $63,148.32 were approved for payment. Auburn residents concerned over dogs The Village of Auburn is going to the dogs...and maybe to Hullett township. A representative group from the village and the village trustees attended the West Wawanosh township council meeting June 4 to complain about the number of dogs running at large in the village. Two vicious dogs were particularly bothering the residents. After some discussion it was decided that the village trustees should ask the Village of Blyth for a copy of the dog by-law it uses and to contact Dick Eisler of Goderich to sec what would be involved in securing his services. While at the meeting the Auburn trustees also sounded out council about the possibility of withdrawing from East and West Wawanosh township and becoming wholely a part of Hullett township. Opinion was divided on this natter. Don Cameron was present to inform council about the back-up of water on to his land on concession 8. The council promised to check to see if a drain could have been damaged during construction work. William Beyersbergen also appeared to inform council about the inefficiencv of the road culvert in front of his property on Concession 10-11. A resolution from the County of Peel regarding violence in hockey was tabled since it was felt the hockey association is already dealing with the situation. Council applied for additional subsidy for construction of the south part of sidcroad 18-19, Concession 7. Alma opening concerns Davidson It appears the county planning depart- ment is not enthusiastic about the opening up of the old village of Alma in Hullett township on Highway 8. County planning director Gary Davidson was present at the regular meeting of Hullett township council June 3 at Londesboro and questioned the council about its promises to the developer of the area. He was informed that council had agreed to build entrances and 170 feet of roadway on Byers and Edward Streets in the hamlet for the developer, Mr. Watson, The developer would be responsible for further construction and all maintenance until the roads were brought up to Ministry of Transport and Communications stand- ards. Mr. Davidson pointed out that the lots in the area bordering on Highway 8 had been reduced from their original size over the years and as such would require severences. He indicated his department would be reluctant to grant such severences. . In other business, building permits were approved for W.D. Jardin; M. Salverda for a shed and silo; A. Volk, shed and sun porch; Ed Salverda, silo; G. Postma, granary; Ken Wright, grain bins and Fbed and L. Hunking, porch, all subjec to township bylaws. A severance on Con. 10, part Lot 24 was approved by the council. The clerk was instructed to send a letter to the Ministry of Natural Resources at Wingham to ask clarification of the tax agreement on the • dwelling on Lot 13, Con. 2. The petition of T. DeBoer and others for repair of the Boy es drain was accepted. ' Court of revision on the Beane Drain No. 2 was ' held with minor changes being granted after letters were read from Mr. Rapson and Mr. McDonald. The court of revision was closed and tenders are to be called. There were no appeals for Beane Drain No. 1 and tenders were opened with the contract fol,, the open work being let to George Radford Construction of Blyth for $3,449. Hugh Flynn', and Clare Vincent were appointed voting delegates for the Association of Municipal Officers convention. Grader rates of $13.00 per hour for grader number 3 and $15.00 per hour for number 4 with a minimum charge of $5.00 were approved. PG. 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 12, 1974 'Farm groups form committee to study nuclear impact The impact of a nuclear power plant proposed near Goderich will be studied by a committee formed last week by representatives of farm groups and a Goderich citizens' group. Adrian Vos of Blyth, elected as committee chairman, said the committee, which will represent thousands of area families, plans to investigate the plant's ecolog- ica! impact and its effect on agriculture. Ontario Hydro told Huron County council in late February that a new nuclear power plant would be built along Lake Huron within 20 or 30 miles of Goderich. It is to be operational by 1985. Hydro also discussed a propos- ed 53 -mile power corridor from Bradley Junction, 16 miles southeast of the Bruce nuclear power plant at Douglas Point, to a proposed transformer station at Seaforth. The committee, formed to study the power plant's impact, was originally to be called the Committee to Oppose the Power Plant, Mr. Vos said. Most of those at the meeting opposed the plant, he said, but some were uncertain "because we haven't got all the facts." it was named the Committee to investigate the Power Plant after the committee decided to concen- trate on fact-finding so that a convincing case could be put forward. The 17 farm groups, supporting the committee have all indicated they oppose the plant, Mr. Vos said. The committee is backed by the National Farmers' Union and the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture. The committee is awaiting results of an Ontario Hydro Survey of the opinions of Huron County residents about the plant. Season ticket drive on at Country Playhouse The $20 season ticket drive for the 1974 Festival of Summer Theatre at the Huron Country Playhouse continues at the fourteen locatioins around the 45 -mile radius of the tent theatre situated cast of this resort village off Hwy. 81. Local ticket outlets are The Shadow Box, Clinton and Coach House Travel Service, Goderich. Tickets for the Sunday one-night performances of each production at Kincardine Town Hall are available in full and mini -season subscriptions either from Needles and Pins, Queen Street or the Theatre Guild, Box 1700, Kincardine. Managing Director James Murphy, facing the upcoming season with confidence and his usual vigor, remarked this week that this season still is a crucial one for the continuing survival of the Playhouse as costs soar and personnel needs increase. "The Playhouse is indeed growing as a major entertainment spot for residents as well as tourists," he said. "Bringing in prdfessional performers and tech- nicians from across Canada and developing area talent arc major undertakings, but it meets the community's desire for its own professional summer theatre. Thus, season ticket sales are vital! We have a well run subscription campaign by efficient community leaders. We have strong foundation and Ontario Arts Council support. We have added facilities, we have talented personnel. All we need now is more people corning to the 380 -seat Playhouse. It's a place for people, after all." Available since mid-May, sub- scriptions have topped last year's figures at this time. They remain available up to the final Play house performance, Saturday, June 29, of the opening product- ion, "I Do, 1 Do", On Saturday, June 22 at 9 p.m. the Playhouse Women's Guild run a gala Pre -Season Ball for season ticket holders, part of the subscription package in addition to tremendous $8 savings on individual tickets for each show. Johnny Downs' Orchestra will play for dancing pleasures. Londesboro Church to host lodges Welcoming worshippers into the sanctuary were Mrs. Marg- aret Whyte and Lorne Hunking. The ushers were Stewart Glousher, Larry Carter, Keith Howatt and Ken Scanlon. The service began with a Gospel sing time. The choir anthem was, "0 Come to the Church in the Wildwood". The flowers on the memorial stands were placed in loving memory of Bill Wells by Helen and Douglas. , The flowers at the front of the church were placed by Mr. and Mrs. Len Caldwell in honour of the marriage of their daughter, Wendy to Mr. Charles Crawford, The next Sunday the Hulled and Blyth Masonic lodges will be the guests. .. # CLEARANCE AT GREATLY REDUCED PRICES 1 -Camper's Radio, Reg. $84.95 • $55.00 ` 1-8 Track Stereo Tuner Amp. & Speakers, Reg. $239.00 - $180.00 1 -Car Stereo Tape Player, Reg. $79.95 • $50.00 1 -Sharp 20" Colour TV., Reg. $499.00 • $399.00 ` 1 -Philips Modular 4 colour TV., $619.00 ALL UNITS NEW WITH FULL WARRANTY.

Hullett Central School had two numbers in the program, a Grade 1 Choir, directed by Mrs. Livermore, and a Grade 7 and 8 recorder group directed by Mrs. Rosman. The two groups were bussed to Godcrich first, on Wednesday, May 29 for a rehearsal which gave all groups performing a chance to hear each other, and then were taken again on Thursday evening .for the concert. Other schools taking part were Robertson and Victoria Schools in Godcrich, Howick Central, Holm- csville, Colbourne and the Godc- rich High School Band. This was a new and highly successful venture on the part of the schools of Huron County, and very worthwhile. FIELD TRIP The Grade 1 class from Hullett Central School, accompanied by their teacher, Mrs. Livermore, and Mrs. Smith travelled by bus on Thursday, June 6, to the zoo at Grand Bend, They left the school at 11:00 a.m., and returned in time to go home on the bus at 3:30 p.m.! They saw many different species' of wild animals, but the highlight of the day was when a snake trainer brought a boa constrictor on to the bus for the children to see first hand. This was one field trip which will be long remem- bered. UNEXPECTED HOLIDAYS During the week of May 27 to May 31, the students of Hullett Central were given two holidays which were not really expected. The, first occurred on May 28, when school was dismissed at 2:30, since Mr. Stevenson, Mathematics Consultant for this area, conducted a workshop for the teachers of the school. The other holiday was on Friday May 31, when the teachers of Hullett Central, along with the rest of the teachers in this area 1 had a Professional Development Day. FIELD DAY Hullett Central's annual Field Day wa held on Thursday, May 30, and the weather co-operated beautifully. Events for Grades 3 to 8 began at 10:00 a.m., while events for the primary classes began at 11:30, Helping to run and score each even were, students from Central Huron , Secondary School in Clinton, and a special thank you goes to these students. After the day's activities, according to the number of points collected, the following students were declared champions of their divisions: Senior Boys, Brian Trewartha; Senior Girls; Chirs- tine McNall; Intermediate Boys, Steven Reid;' Intermediate Girsi, Barb Carter; Junior Boys, Robert Hunking; Junior Girls, Brenda Millar; Midget Boys, Bruce Hunking; Midget Girls, Christine Carter. These students, along with others who won or placed well in various events represented Hul- lett at the area track and field meet, which was held at Clinton on June 5. At that meet, Hullett placed fifth over all, while Bruce Hunking won the championship in his division and Christine McNall and Steven Reid were runners-up in their divisions. Congratulations to all Hullett representatives for doing so well. FASHION SHOW "Fashions Galor in '74" was the theme of the Grade seven and eight fashion show, which was held in Hullett Central School auditorium on Monday, June 3. The girls, who take Home Economics classes at Seaforth each Monday invited their mothers to watch while they modelled the garments they made this year. Later, refreshments were served, which were made as well by the students. Also on display in the auditor- ium were crafts made by Grade 7 and 8 boys in their shop classes, as well as crafts made by the girls. A special thank you goes to Mrs. Ila Mathers, Home Econ- omics teacher, for helping to arrange this very worthwhile show. Before?

Editorial Belt tightening hurts at home Many Blyth residents last week were likely unhappy when they heard the news that their tax bill will go up this year. They had a right to be, but probably not for the same reason they were unhappy. Nobody likes increased taxes. But when the increase in taxes means an increase in service, then the taxpayer doesn't feel so bad, The problem with the 10 mill tax increase that came down in Blyth's budget last week that tax payers in Blyth this year will see less money spent at home, where it is really needed than last year. Increased costs of county government would have upped the local tax bill by nearly 12 mills this year if Blyth council had not chopped money from its own budget to keep the total down. It was a thoughtful move by council to try to keep the burden of taxation as low as possible, but it means that money will not be being spent right here in the village, where it will do the most good, but at the county level, where a dollar buys much less because of the high cost of administration. Thanks to the hard work of the present council, Blyth is beginning to get up to date on many needs. Memorial Hall is being repaired, New roads are being built. A new water reservoir has been built. A new storm sewer is being looked at. New street lighting is needed, however, and improvements at the are a are also needed and both projects would cost a considerable an unt of money. Blyth taxpayers will be paying 10 mills more on their tax bill this year, but the extra won't help to pay for things like these. Fortunately, there is one bright spot. Assessment in the village seems likely to grow this year at a record rate, We seem to be in the midst of a construction boom in the village with many new homes slated for construction this summer, As assessment rises, the number of tax dollars needed is divided among more people, meaning either that taxes can come down, or that more things can be done without raising taxes, The big problem, however, is whether or not assessment can rise fast enough to offset sky -rocketing county costs without taking more of the local tax dollar and sending it to the county level. Good idea Bob, but... Conservative Leader Robert Stanfield has chosen government spending as one of the objects of his wrath during the present election campaign. It's a timely topic. Unlike many of Mr. Stanfield's issues, this is truety a Conservative issue, The Conservative party over the years has stood for as little government as possible, for keeping taxes down and keeping the government from having its finger in every pie. Mr. Stanfield's call for a curb in government spending comes at a time when the federal government' as well as provin ial and local governments are going wild with expenditures. The traditional Conservative stance of as little government as possible has shown to be a farce in Ontario where Premier Davis has constructed one of the biggest bureaucracies in the world, with a government that seems to want to control everything in sight. So it is indeed refreshing to hear Mr. Stanfield discussing cutting • back on government spending. It would be more refreshing, however, if he wasn't promising new goodies that will cost more government money. He wants, for instance, price and wage controls, which would require a huge bureaucratic structure to administer. He promises new pension increases and all sorts of other little sweeteners to try to attract our votes. It seems Mr. Stanfield speaks with a forked tongue. The tail wags the dog At a recent meeting of Blyth village council the problem of one property owner along County Road 25 was brought up and it certainly illustrated the old saying about the tail wagging the dog. The property owner in question had recently bought a lot that adjoined the county road. Some years earlier the county, in order to widen 'ts road, had purchased a strip of land off the property. Now, the new landowner found out, in order to be able to use the lot, it had to go through severence, an annoying delay and one that cost the property owner money. Here was a case of a tiny portion of the original property being sold off but the owner of the major portion of the property being forced to undertake severence, The property owner had to pay a severence fee to the same people who caused the situatior in the first place: the county. Much the same thing is happening in the village of Alma where the county planning department is saying it isn't too likely to grant severence to properties that have been reduced from their original surveyed size because of widening of Highway 8. In such cases, however, the landowner doesn't have much choice, If the highway is to be widened, he can either sell the land or have it expropriated. Once this is done by one branch of government, another branch then comes along and tells him the rest of the property can't be sold without severence which it won't give.

Once again the world is green, the days are longer, it is no longer brass monkey weather, the trout season is open, the golf links becon. Best of all, end of term is nearing, holidays looming, and I'll be able to forget those juvenile friends for two golden months, What more could a man want? And yet, every year at this time i am frustrated as a frog who thinks he's a butterfly. There are a number of villains in this particular tragedy. Meet- ings proliferate. Every time 1 should be listening to the solid crack of a drive or the lovely clunk of a golf ball going into the cup, I seem to be sitting at a meeting listening to some utterly inane suggestion that yet another committee be formed to look into nothing or other. Warm weather? Yeah, that's nice, But it makes the students coltish, to say the least. And in these days of permissive school dress, it can be totally confusing. There you are, trying to teach the elements of a unified, coherent, and emphatic paragraph. And sprawled right in front of you is a young woman, physically, at least, a veritable Daisy Mae, in a backless, bra -less halter and a pair of shorts so short and so tight they look as though they've been put on with a paint roller. Blank -eyed, she is completely lost to the beauties of commun- ication via the printed word, Her thoughts are fixed on a different kind of communication, the kind she's going to share with Joe, when he picks her up after supper. The only part of her that is paying any attention whatever to her English teacher is her exposed navel, which stares at you unwinkingly. End of term approaching? Great. But what is this vast pile of paper beside my desk? Three sets of term tests, two sets of creative writing, two sets of fresh endings for a play. I've tried staring at them malevolently. I've tried spilling coffee on them, 1 tried dumping the ashtray on them, accidentally. But they merely smouldered, like me. They won't Exposed navels and my bad back go away. They have to be marked. Not conductive to trout fishing. Well, you'll say, these are minor things. If Smiley was organized, he could cope with these irritations, and still enjoy his late spring. True. But I haven't introduced you to the real beast on the roster. This is the estate. Every fall, i get the place cleaned up. Last fall we put out ninety plastic bags of leaves. 1 got a guy to put on the storm windows, not because I'm lazy, or can afford it, but because I'm too chicken to climb a forty -foot ladder, with a forty -pound win- dow, in a forty -mile wind. And this spring we've put out already forty bags of leaves, left over from last fall, plus another twenty bags of acorns and twigs and there are still thirty bags stacked against the side of the house. I simply haven't time to do this work. Besides, 1 have this bad back, which gets sore every spring, for some reason, it's almost impossible to hire kids to do the work. They want more than it would have cost me to have somebody rubbed out in the Chicago of the 1920's. So this spring, the Old I3attleaxc, urged on by friends and me, took a whack at it. her previous help with the "yard" has been confined to "Bill, when are you going to get this place cleaned up? What will the neighbours think?" I'd hate to tell you what i tell her th neighbours can think, if they want to. Anyway, after about five clays of raking and stuffing bags, she burst out with "Dearic me, Bill," (or words to that effect), "This isn't a backyard. It's The Land." She felt like a pioneer, trying to clear enough to live on. 1 had rid myself of my old power mower, in a fit of gentle rage, when 1 couldn't start it. You I can't hire a kid with a power mower. So I bought a new one. 1 got one of my students to run it, only by threatening that I'd fail his year if he didn't. The lawn is cut. There are only eight flower -beds left to rake and dig. And the storm windows are still on, Letter to the editor Dear Editor: The Huron Historic Jail Board is busy preparing for its first season.

(HURON -BRUCE] The Ontario Government was accused this week of subverting the Legislature by stalling an inquiry into the possible dangers of cancer and silicosis facing Elliot Lake uranium miners. However, later this week, Natural Resources Minister, Leo Bernier an- nounced a wide ranging public inquiry into the health and safety hazards facing ruiners in gold and uranium mines in the province. At the moment the Government is THE !MYTH STANDARD, JUNE 12, 1974. PG. 5. looking for a qualified Commissioner to head the investigation. He will be assisted by a medical doctor who is an expert in lung cancer, silicosis and environmental heath, Mr, Bernier expects the investigation to take about 18 months. He said the Government is ready to consider and perhaps implement changes recommended during the course of the study, A total of 1,773 cases of silicosis have been reported in the past 75 years. About 40 miners from the Elliott Lake area are on disability pensions and about 70 more have varying degrees of dust effects. The Opposition called for a public inquiry into the announced increases by 55 auto insurance companies ranging from six to 19 per cent to take effect July 1. John Clement, Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations said the rates are a reflection of higher awards in the Courts, and the larger cost of repairing automobiles which was in part due to higher wages being paid to mechanics. He said the higher rates in the north were due to the fact that damage and destruction of windshields in the north was more frequent than in the south. Windshields are expensive to replace, he added, The Ontario Government will spend $15 million in the next year to create new day care facilities for about 3,000 children, The total budget for day care facilities will rise to $29 million, up $14 million from this year. Ontario Energy Minister, Darcy Mc - Keough conceded in the Legislature this week that some of the statistics which indicate oil companies raised their prices at least a month too soon are correct. Charges were made in the Legislature that oil companies were extracting more than $1 million a day from Ontario consumers in windfall profits a a result of a premature increase in gasoline and heating oil prices on May 15. The redistribution maps, indicating the new riding boundaries for the next provincial election have been tabled in the Legislature. The riding of Huron -Bruce remains essentially the same except for the addition of six new Municipalities namely, Harriston, Palmerston, Clifford, Minto Township, Brant Township and the Town of Walkerton. The Redistribution Committee will now hear briefs and submissions from the public with respect to any other changes which are deemed advisable. These submissions should be made as soon as possible to the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Roderick Lewis. Based on the submissions, legislation will be drafted which will be dealt with during the Fall Session. After the legislation is passed, the Returning Officer can then prepare for the election on the basis of the new riding boundaries. The province Stanfield could kill Davis' scapegoat BY ROBERT MILLER If Robert Stanfield 'manages to unhorse Pierre Trudeau next month, the William Davis government will have to start looking for a new whipping boy. Unless, of course, the Ontario Conser- vatives are prepared to shrug along as much blame for things to federal Conservatives as they now do to federal Liberals. Unquestionably, the presence of a Liberal government in Ottawa has been convenient for Davis and Co, Time after time, Queen's Park contrives to pass the wildly inflated buck to the feds, The tangle of confusion over the price we. pay for petroleum products is merely the latest example of how unco-operative federalism can be used to evade responsibility. Energy Minister Darcy McKeough, hard-pressed by NDP Leader Stephen Lewis, has conceded that Lewis may be at least partly right in his contention that the oil companies raised their gasoline prices prematurely. Lewis has demanded a public inquiry, but semis unlikely to get one. According to Lewis, the oil companies arc enjoying massive windfall profits The nation becaus% they are charging the new rate (an average of 10 cents a gallon more) on gasoline they acquired at the old, pre -March 28 price, It was on March 28 that Canada's first ministers sat down at Trudeau's residence and more or less agreed that Canada should, have a single, nation-wide price for crude oil • $6.50 a barrel. I say "more or Tess agreed" because it developed, some time after the March 28 meeting, that different premiers meant different things by the price of oil. The first ministers neglected to include in their calculations the cost of moving western crude from the.wells to the start of the pipeline in Edmonton, an oversight which has added what Davis now estimates at between $38 and $40 million to Ontario consumers' fuel bills. From the beginning, Lewis has been intensely suspicious that the oil companies (his Dad wodld call them the corporate welfare super -bums) would somehow turn . the March 28 agreement into a gusher of profits. An extraordinary meeting last month between Lewis and two members of the brass of Imperial Oil Ltd. failed to reassure the NDP leader. If anything, it reinforced his suspicions about the oil slicks. He contends that the Ontario govern- ment has a responsibility to safeguard the interests of Ontario consumers, The government would appear to agree, having established an entire ministry dedicated to that cause. To this end, Lewis as called for a provincial petroleum price review ap- paratus possibly under aegis of the monitors hydro and natural gas prices. The Davis government, however, maintains that such a provincial apparatus would be meaningless in the complicated and multi -national, oil industry, Any price reviews in petroleum ought to be conducted by Ottawa, Queen's Park says, Now, McKeough has replied to Lewis' allegations of premature price increases by saying it's not up to Ontario to pass such judgments; it's the business of the federal government. It was, McKeough reminded the Legislature, federal (and Liberal) Energy Minister Donald Macdonald who decreed the 45 -day period during which the oil companies could not charge the new, higher price because they .would still be running down crude stocks already purchased at the old, lower rate. Macdonald infuriated Davis earlier by suggesting that Ontario ease the new burden on gasoline consumers by cutting back on the provincial gasoline tax. The tax 19 cents a gallon, yields about $500 million a year, which the province needs, Davis countered that if Macdonald wanted to help consumers he ought to reduce the federal tax, which actually went up with the itew $6.50 national price. Ontario's tax stayed constant. Well, the oil dispute is just one illustration of how Queen's Park and Ottawa trade accusations of culpability. With the Liberals in power in Ottawa, the Davis government has scarcely had to think twice about pointing an indignant finger in that direction. Whether the same escape hatch would be used with the Conservatives in power federally is not clear. Probably, it would; but not with the same sense of indignation. Instead, the buck would be passed more in sorrow than in anger. -Toronto Star First round to Trudeau but no major trend BY PETER THOMSON It is the clear consensus of press observers that Prime Minister Trudeau won the first round of the election campaign contest by a fairly wide margin. The prime minister didn't say much of substance, but he generally said it well. With the help of NDP leader David Lewis attacking from the other flank, Mr. Trudeau was able to put Conservative leader Robert Stanfield_ on the defensive, particularly on his wage -price freeze and subsequent incomes policy. There was enough travel in the prime minister's campaign and enough gimmicks to ensure hi►n a full share of publicity which in turn creates the impression of mementtim. There was, for example, the throw -back to whistle-stop campaigning, a lift in a hot-air balloon, a ride on a motorcycle, some canvassing for votes, and above all there was Margaret. There were two trips to the West Coast, at least one visit to each province and sometimes two. It was the kind of vaulting by DC -9 that shows the Canadian people 'there is an election campaign on and that the prince minister is going flat out to win, Through all of the Trudeau travels the message was the same. The opposition had forced an unwanted election but now the Liberals welcomed it because it gave them a second chance to tell their story, to regain seats lost in 1972 and win some that were missed in 1968. There was the regular theme that leadership is the' issue and inflation the problem. The Liberal faithful laughed faithfully as Mr, Trudeau listed the Tory candidates who have voiced opposition to the controls program, or told how some of them were ready to break away and form a new political party. It wasn't much perhaps but it was enough for the opening weeks of a long campaign, It appeared to be better than Mr. Stanfield was doing. ' Eyed fromthe Trudeau camp, the Conservative leader seemed to be having trouble explainingthis anti-inflation program. The Conservative leader's efforts seemed well illustrated in a photograph which showed him fumbling a football. Mr. Trudeau, on the other hand, quickly declined when offered a chance to, take a shot with a basket ball, If election results hinged entirely on leader performance of the last few weeks, Mr, Trudeau would appear, on the surface, to be a winner. Election results, however, spring from deeper waters. There is the matter of the government's record and the attitudes it has created among the voters. There is also the promise for the future, generally outlined in the latter stages of an election campaign. On both - counts Mr. Trudeau is vulnerable, The faithful who attend Liberal rallies nay applaud when' the prime minister tells them in the Maritimes or the West that Stanfield's price and wage freeze will hit them just when they are getting their (fish or grain) prices up where it gives them an equitable return. Now if the fishermen and farmers could forget that less than a year ago the same Trudeau government cut the legs from under them with export embargoes on fish meal, oilseeds and cattle, he might be scoring points. Memories, however, arc seldom that short. Similarly, it may sound like a ringing battle cry for national unity when Mr. Trudeau declares that as a platter of Liberal principle there will be one price for oil across the nation and equal access to that oil in all parts of the country. No matter what headlines the prime minister may gain with this stirring oratory, producers are apt to wonder why the same principles don't apply to egg markets. There is a danger in reading too much into performances of the last few weeks. The second area of fallibility is in Phase 2 of the Liberal campaign, the unveiling of refurbished policies, That is the pahse the Liberals moved into this week with the announcement there would be more money available for moderately priced housing, and followed with two more refurbished housing policies. Mr. Trudeau is caught in something of a bind in announcing new policies. If they are too new, people might well ask why nothing was heard of them six weeks ago. If they are not new... Well, what has the government been doing? The middle ground which Mr. Trudeau is attempting to tread is to convince people the policies were in the works. You have seen them mentioned in the Throne Speech or in the budget he says. They were scheduled for the next session of Parliament and work on them has simply been speeded up. So long as he is walking that tightrope Mr. Trudeau is not going to gain much ground in Phase 2. It is in this stage that Mr. Stanfield is almost certain to regain any ground he may have lost earlier. The Conservative leader is not under the same constraints as Mr. Trudeau. Mr, Stanfield's credibility is good. When he says his party will implement a certain policy, if elected, the people are likely to believe him. Add to that the known Conservative ability of coming out with attractive policies during an election campaign • such as indexing the income tax, or the family farm program - and it can almost be taken for granted that the Tories will regain any ground they have lost in the early part of the campaign. The only new thrust of the Liberals during the campaign is likely to be contained in a transportation policy to be announced in near future. The main Liberal hope, perhaps is that Mr. Stanfield will get hung up on one of his existing policies, such as the freeze and controls program, The Liberals have one "positive" hope of their own, Margaret Trudeau and the women's vote. Margaret's introduction of her husband as "really quite a beautiful guy" this week must have softened many hearts. Add to that Mr. Trudeau's recent efforts to convince women his party is the answer to all their problems of inequite in law and Canadian custom and there is the CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 PG, 6.

Blyth personals Mrs. William Buchanan is in Wingham and District Hospital . this week following surgery. Mr. and Mrs. Russel Cook and Mr. and Mrs. Mansel Cook and Mrs. Gladys Johnston motored to Cochrane for the weekend visiting relatives. It was the first time in 58 years that Mrs. Johnston ands Mr. Mansel Cook had returned to Cochrane and they were pleased to see their old homestead still! standing. The Blyth Minor Sports omitted from their card of thanks in last week's paper that Russ Wilson donated trophies to the Bantam team. Mrs. George Johnston, Mrs. Leslie Bolt and Mrs, Murray Lougheed. They discussed some very interesting facts concerning the Act. She concluded this by reading resolutions presented by Oxford and Huron -Perth Presb ytcrials. Mrs, Branton then reminded them how shamefully we treat our Canadian Indians and showed a graph type chart with a lot of vital statistics comparing the Indians with the rest of the Canadians. She also read part of on article from Macleans magazine by a Mr. Manuel. To conclude she conducted imaginary type inter- views with three ordained United Church ministers who are Indians. Mrs. Anderson thanked Mrs. Branton for the very interesting and informative program. Mrs. William Coultes con- ducted the worship service assisted by Mrs. Murray Loug- heed. Mrs. Coultes gave the call to worship followed by one verse of hymn "Guide Me, 0 Thou Great Jehovah". Mrs, Lougheed read the scripture from Matthew 14, verses 13 to 21 and Amos 8 verses 11 and 12. Trudeau CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 possibility of catching a large number of uncommitted votes. That thrust is somewhat ironic in view of the condemnation of the government by both major opposition parties, particularly the NDP, for moving so slowly on women's rights. However, ironic or no, it could be a vote bonanza for the Liberals if it works, There is still no indication, however, that any kind of a trend has developed. It's a matter of wait-and-see, with the distinct possibility that no major trend will develop. -The Montreal Star 0o1,-0) 14v'lo' i«o--0 CANADA PACKERS DEVON SIDE BACON SLICED BEEL LIVER PORK BUTT CHOPS GROUND BEEF 1011 OR OVER CHICKEN LEGS 89c L B . 69c L B . 89c LB. 99c LB. 93c LB. 93c L B .

Prior to her wedding the bride was honoured at showers given by Mrs. Russel Ross of Belwood with friends and relatives of the groom in Belwood present and by inister's BY TED HOOGSTEEN No matter how one looks at the situation, it is rather mysterious that many people refuse to take the Christ seriously, the Chirst'whom God, in the resurrection from the dead, made Lord of all with the power of life and death. Perhaps the Church has been at fault in part in that the proclamation has been weak and timid, or perhaps the Church has not presented an adequate lifestyle, typically Christian. If this is so, amends must be made. Despite shortcomings in the churches, it is true that all men and women have received the awareness of the power of God's work in the world (notably in this season of new life in the land) and no one has an excuse that God is not known, especially not in our day when Scriptures are skilfully reproduced and easily available. This Book conveys to us the message that Jesus is the Lord and Saviour of the earth. He is Lord of all, and has taken from the nations of the world those whom he fashions into his Church, the Church meant for the proclamation of the mercy of God i:. Chirst. And faith in Christ includes membership, active participation, in the Church, Belief in Jesus, and distrust of the Church, or even minimal attendance when the Church meets, do not go together. it is a continuing mystery that even a few shoud respond negatively to the goodness of God, or give minimal attendance to his Church; it is a mystery we have to live with for now.

This family tradition began in 1894 by Allan Bert Bainton, Frank Bainton Sr. and their sister Jean Rainton. Our memory of years gone by recalls that many old established wool and leather businesses have gone due to various reasons - foreign competition, competition from synthetic and man made fibres, financial problems etc. The belief which our predecessors had in the future of the wool and leather business still exists in the management of to -day. We must give credit to the originators for instilling this belief in us. We recall many other problems and difficulties that have been overcome through the years to continue this wool and leather business - the oldest in its field in Canada - Our Heritage Come to our authentic Old Mill in Blyth (at the railway tracks) and see why after 80 years, Bainton's is still making a name for itself in the wool and leather business.

Tuesday afternoon. Rev. News from Huronview A number of residents attended the Clinton Spring Fair on Saturday and everyone at the Home are very proud of the fact that the Huronview float won second prize in the parade. A special thanks to those on the staff who gave of their time and talents in preparing it. Mrs. Nellie Welsh, Norman Speir and Jerry Collins provided the Old Tyme Music for Mon- day's activities. Two new Resi- dents were welcomed to the Home, Mrs. Buchanan and Mrs. McNee. The weather was ideal on Monday evening for the Spring Drive sponsored by the Exeter United Church men. One hundred Residents were taken for a two hour drive through the country which they all enjoyed very much. Students from the Exeter High School presented a program, "This Side of Paradise" in the auditorium on Tuesday afternoon arranged by Mrs. Pat Quigley. The theme of the program was taken from the 20's with costumes, music and dances such as the Charlston related to that era. Mary Var• Camp thanked the students on behalf of the Residents. The Blossom Tea and bake sale sponsored by the Huronview Auxiliary was well attended on Wednesday afternoon and was opened by Rev. Wittich of Blyth. Two hundred senior members of North Street United Church of Goderich, which includes several from the Home, were honoured by their congregation on Thurs- day afternoon. Following a drive through the country supper was served at the United Church summer camp. The residents enjoyed an hour of organ melodies on Thursday afternoon with Mr. Ed Stiles, of Goderich, at the console and vocal solos by Mrs. Rogers. Marie Flynn of Clinton arrang- ed a variety program for "Family Night" with Harold Black emcee for the evening. There were instrumentals by Marie Flynn, Jim and Patick Murray, Harold and Gary Black, Norman, Ken and Sandra Dale; with step dancing by Dawn and Debbie Flynn. Mrs. McMichael thanked the entertainers on behalf of the residents. 1 George Youmatoff, Rector of Bayfield and Middleton Anglican Churches, and formerly Padre of C.F.B., Clinton, will lead a sing -song in the auditorium. Rev. Youmatoff is well-known to most of the residents of Huronview because of the great interest he took in Huronview during the years he was stationed at the base. Wednesday, ,the annual Huronview picnic will be held on the grounds, weather permitting, or in the auditorium, if the weatherman does not co-operate. There will be games, races, etc., commencing at 2 p.m. Huron County Museum will have their display van here for the day. Thursday afternoon there will be organ music in to auditorium by Ed. Stiles. The Senior Citizens' Clubs of Bayfield and Exeter will put on a variety program for Family Night (Thur- sday evening, 7 p.m.). These same clubs provided the Family Night program during Senior Citizens' Week last year and it was really enjoyed by everyone. Friday is always Bingo day at Huronview, but for this week, we hope to have many 'outside' 1 seniors with us. The games will be held in the auditorium with some real prizes, instead of the usual chocolate bars, etc. Brussels' Senior Citizens will join our residents for the afternoon. On Saturday, June 22, there will be table games in the auditorium (progressive euchre, bridge, 500, etc.). Seaforth I Happy Citizens' Club will sponsor this activity.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 12, 1974. Behind the scenes Few understand these days BY KEITH ROULSTON Someone 1 know was discussing a particular business with me the other day and saying something like: well, it's alright, but it should have such and such and a little more of this and that. Perhaps, I replied, but there just isn't the business there to pay for those things. Well, said my friend who works in a government -supported job, if you're worried about the econ- omics of the thing, maybe not. I'm just talking about what should be there. To me, a good deal Of the problems of our country today can be laid squarely at the feet of the attitude of my friend and millions of people like him. Neva• mind that Nye cannot afford it, it should be there so get it. To me the country is infected with a bad case of "working -for - somebody -else -itis". So many people are working for the government or for a large company or for a small company that they just don't know anything about the economics of the country. Just how many people are there who work for themselves these days. There are farmers, first and most plentiful, although even some of them are under contract to feed companies and are hardly self-employed any more. There aremerchants, but they are a pretty small percentage of the total population. There are insurance salesmen and some real estate men and other people in this type of profession. There arc doctors and lawyers and dentists, but because of the nature of their business most seldom worry about balancing income against expense, And there are darned few in the newspaper business who have to worry aboeR unning their own business. I Mk it's safe to say that there are more people working for the government of Ontario alone than there are in the whole nation who are self-employed. In fact there are probably many times as many government workers than self- employed. Compare this to half a century ago when there were probably more self-employed persons in Ontario alone that there were government workers in all of Canada. Enough for the figures, what are the consequences? The result is that very few people equate the cost of something with the need. I think of the people I went through economics .louralism school with only a few short years ago. Most these days I are working for huge daily newspaper or television net- works. If they want to do a story or a series of stories that are going to cost a lot of stoney (say send someone to the Middle -East to cover a war), they have only to ask and they will get the money. Yet few realize where the money cane from. To most reporters 1 know, advertising is a dirty word. Yet it is advertising that provides the money so they can go to the Middle East and so they can have a nice home in the suburbs. With these guys, efficiency is also a dirty lvork, as anyone who has ever hung around a bunch of big -city reporters will immed- iately know. Our hard-working big city reporters maybe put in six hours a day, generously riddled with coffee breaks. They haven't the slightest idea that if they worked a little harder they could probably get more money be- cause the newspaper would need fewer reporters and could then pay more. The burgeoning civil service is a classic example of how there is little worry about equating work with income. Your local businessman has to worry that if he buys a new piece of equipment, it must improve efficiency enough so that he can afford to pay for the equipment. If he hires a new employee, the employee rust add to the value of the business and earn his own way. If not, the employee loses his job and the employer his shirt. I But the civil service doesn't have to worry about such little problems. Oh sure, there's a budget that they work by but if they go over the budget, no big deal. You don't go broke and lose your job. You just up the taxes. The same thing happens in the really big companies, the ones that sell gas and oil, or cars, or refrigerators. There everyone, even the president, is really just an employee. Again, you try to work within a budget, but if you don't make it, you simply raise the price of the car or the gasoline or the refrigerator. The fact that so many people just don't know how to balance the budget at their job, shows up in the home economy. More people are in financial trouble these days than at any time since the depression, and unlike the depression, there is no real need for it. Between their jobs where they have 110 idea of paying the bills and the finance company ads these days, people just don't know how to live within the limits of their budgets, Everything is bought on time with the friendly bank, the friendly finance com- pany and the friendly credit card company all exorting you to come to them, and if you do get in over your head, come to this company or that and they'll lend you money to pay off your... only they make it sound like they're giving it to you just because they like your face. Someday there is going to be a giant clay of reckoning. Frankly, don't want to see what's going to happen when it does come. it will probably make the depression seem like a highpoint in history; Blyth U.C.W. meets The members of the U.C,W, met in the church parlour on Monday afternoon with 19 present. The roll call was answered by naming some person W110111 we renienibered as special in our childhood. Mrs. McClinchey had charge of Devotions and opened with a poem, "A Blessed Thought", she .also gave a splendid talk on the thence, "Praise", Mrs. McDougall favoured with a lovely piano solo. The study, Leaders of youth was taken by Mrs. Holland, convenor of Christian Education. She said, "We should be alert and ready to help when we are needed with basic understanding and not force." What do we represent in the Church? Often .young people pay attention to our relation in the church and also Christian Home Life. Plans were made for a Senior Citizens pot -luck dinner to be held in the church, June 23 with the meat being provided. All Senior Citizens are welcome. it was decided not to have any more meetings until October. The meeting closed with grace and lunch was served by the Willing Workers, Mrs. Crawford and Mrs. Radford.
