WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19 Wheelbarrow trip earns $900 for arena When Leslie Cook and Robbie Burkhold- er, two 15 year old Blyth boys began approaching local residents for pledges toward a fund to repair Blyth arena they got good response, but quite a few heads were shaking, ..1t.21, all. the idea of the two boys pusLing each other in turn all the way to London in a wheelbarrow was a little hard to 1•elicve, The doubters even started to make the boys hedge their bets a little, as they took straight pledges for the stunt, not pledges on a per -mile basis. But it soon became apparent that they were not so crazy to attempt the trip when they started out early Monday morning. They planned to make it as far as Clinton on Monday and try to find a place to stay lu,� .� u�li of Ihr ((mil. But they were in Clinton by noon, gloving at four and a half miles 8n hour (an average adult walks at three miles per hour). 13y nightfall on Monday they were in Exeter nearly three times as far along the route as they had expected. They were met in Exeter by the Burk family, who invited them in to their roadside home for supper aid to spend the night. Tuesday morning was enough to dampen 1110 spirits of even such an enthusiastic pair. Rain was pouring down, but the boys were back on the road, pushing to make London by nightfall, They met three girls in Lucan but ignored the temptation and continued. They visited the Lucan 0.P.P.

Once these guys get rolling, they just can't stop. Rollin' down to London Two Blyth residents made news this week in an unusual way. Robbie Burkholder [In wheel barrow] and Leslie Cook became minor celebrities when they undertook to push a wheelbarrow from Blyth to London. The boys made the trip In two days and earned $900 for repairs at Blyth arena. —photo by Jim Fitzgerald. Cemetery faces uncertain future Local municipal councils have had to come to the rescue of the Blyth Union Cemetery board which this month found itself in serious financial problems. Blyth Clerk Treasurer Larry Walsh in his capacity as treasurer for the Board said this week that funds from the sale of lots and income from the perpetual care fund have not been sufficient in the past few years to • pay for the cost of maintenance of the cemetery. Mr. Walsh explained that when a lot is sold at the cemetery 35 per cent of the sale price goes to the Public Trustee to Toronto to be invested and the income tram the investment is used to help meet maintenance costs forever. !'.1u.1' of the money turned over in former yeas, he explained, has been inces;cd .n long-term government bonds, some ,'t k1III, h bear only three per cent intere.t. 1leanwhile, each year the cemetery has ken getting larger, requiring more m.rintc1 u►,:e work, and costs of mainten:ice have been increased. The $25 that the cemetery boards gets from the sale of a plot for $40 and this and the income from the perpetual are futid do not meet the expenses. The problem has been further ag'gravat d by the fact that the cemetery is running ut of land and negotiations have been ade to purchase an additional three acres djoining the present site. This land will ave to be leveled and a fence will have to e built around it. Other necessary expenses upcoming include new floor covering for the mausoleum. Mr. Walsh said some other area cemetery boards do not have the same problems as Blyth because they have been left many bequests in recent years, helping to pay costs of maintenance. He said that the councils of Blyth, Morris, East Wawanosh and Hullett had been most receptive , to the plea for assistance. A full financial statement is included in this issue. Board of Education hopes to reactivate septic tank system BY WILMA OKE Students in schools under the Huron County Board of Education will get a head start in learning the metric system when it is introduces: in the schools in September 1974, 'I'hc Board, meeting in Clinton Monday, gave approval for the metric measures to be instituted into the programs of all grades as soon as possible, but beginning in September it is t0 be used in all activities involving, measurement with primary grades. D.J. Cochrane, Director of Education, said the federal target is 1980. Herbert Turkheim, Zurich, Chairman of Education Committee, outlined the pro - grant which calls for all new measuring devices and equipment to be purchased to have the metric units; that problems utilizing metric units should be created whcrcevcr possible, but some textbook examples which include British units be contin'tcd with intermediate grades for the present: that a handbook of proper terms, spellings and symbols be prepared and distributed to all schools for September, 1974; and that instruction for the preparation of home-made equipment be made available. John Henderson, RR 5, Seaforth, asked if night school classes could be held on the metric system for adults. Chairman Caylcy Hill, Goderich agreed this would be a good idea, "I think the' whole community might be interested in such a course. Superintendent J,.W. Coulter said he would bring it up at the next principals' meeting to be held within a few days. A test hole excavated at Blyth Public School to check the Septic system showed that seepage of the water table is evident at a six-fot depth which is approximately four feet below existing Ole bed and that the tile bed was exposed and found to be clean and dry. The Medical Officer of Health has been contacted by Brian Garratt of Kyles, Kyles and Garratt, Stratford, requesting permission to re -activate the tile bed for test purposes and hopefully for re -opera- tion on a more permanent basis but to date no approval given. The test hole will have a vertical tile installed to house an alarm system to warn of trouble. At the present time the septic tank is being pumped out regularly. J.W.Coulter, Superintendent of Pro- gram and Planning, reported there were 54 entries in the art contest among students sponsored by the Board for a design for an "official Board Crest" as requested by the Seaforth District High School Band for their band jackets. After viewing the crests the Board voted to continue using the crest that the Board has been using since 1969. Winners of prizes for crest design are: First ($20) Elizabeth Deichert, 16 years) South Huron District High School; second, ($15) Chris Beaton, 13 years,J.A.McCurdy Public School; third ($10) Lary Rhiel, 13 years, Clinton Public School; and fourth ($5) Wally Fydenchuck, South Huron District High School. The next Board meeting will be held August 12 at 2 p.m. No meeting in July. Six requests' for field trips were approved: • 18 Grade 4 students from Howick Central Public School to the Howick area from June 14-15, at no cost to the Board. • 18 Grade 5 students from Howick Central to the Howick arca from June 21-22, at no cost to the Board. • 40 Grade 8 students from Usborne Central Public to Camp Sylvan from September 11.13 'at a cost to the Board of about $175, .35 Grade 8 students from Huron Centennial Public to Camp Sylvan from September 24-25 at a cost to Board of about $100, •35 Grade 8 students from Huron Centennial Public to Camp Sylvan from September 26-27 at a cost to the Board of about $100. 027 Grade 7 students, from Seaforth Public to Falls Reserve Conservation Area at Benmiller, from June 21-22 at a cost to the Board of $15.00. The Board approved a request for an instrumental music program to be instituted at Holntesville Public School starting in September under the leadership of Mrs. lrla Stewart, music teacher at the school. The cost of instruction is to be borne by the Board and the renting of instruments by the parents. The Board awarded a contract for the conversion to gas at South Huron District High School to Industrial Boiler Service, London, at a cost of $11,404. The Board granted authority to R.B. Dunlop, Business Administrator, to award tenders valued to $15,000, previously $10,000, because of the increasing labour and material costs, John Henderson did not agree with the increase, stating that he did not believe inflation had gone that far and that "I feel there are more and more things this Board does not know anything about," Mr. Dunlop said that prices 00 capital equipment had gone up tremendously. The Board authorized R.L. Cunningham, transportation director, to tender for 'six replacement buses with delivery in 1975, subject to approval of Ministry of Education. A small storage arca that can be locked up and a refrigerator, a second hand one if possible, will be provided Mr. and Mrs. B. Eisler of Seaforth at the Seaforth District High School, The Eislcrs hold the contract for supplying lunches at the school. The Board will set up a policy regarding the number to attend conventions and this will include that two trustees only and two from administration may attend convent- ions out of the province. Mrs. Donald Kunder of Seaforth and Herbert Turkheim of Zurich indicated they were interested in attending the Canadian Education Association Convention in Regina in September. John Henderson said he may be interested but would not know until the August meeting whether he could get away to attend. At the next meeting, in August, it will be decided whether Mr, Turkheim or Mr. Henderson CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 PG.2.

Blyth, Ont. Phone 523-9581 PG.4, THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 19, 1974. Editorials Will the trains return? Prime Minister Trudeau's unveiling of a proposal for a crown corporation for railway transportation brought hope to the hearts of many people in western Ontario this week. At time of printing it was still not known just how wide the scope of the plan was, but if it is to be much good, it must do something to improve the transportation systems of rural areas like Huron county. More than a year ago the Parliamentary committee on transportation recommended that train service be restored in western Ontario. The recommendation seems to have been lost in the great Ottawa bureaucratic shuffle. The provincial government has claimed to be concerned with transportation but most of their concern (and our money) has been lavished on large urban centres, particularly Toronto, Prime Minister Trudeau himself went after the big city vote on Monday in Toronto when he pledged $250 million for urban transportation. Hopefully, his announcement on Tuesday of a crown corporation for passenger transportation will do something for the majority of us who live outside major urban centres. The sad fact is, that if the federal and provincial governments spend all their time and money concentrating on urban transportation, they will never solve the problems because they will be forcing more and more people to move into cities from smaller centres, thereby aggravating the urban transportation problem. What we need is a fresh approach that makes it possible for many people to move back to smaller towns and cities and relieve the crowded cities. A ho-hum election People couldn't care less about the election, we are told frequently, and taking a look at the Huron -Middlesex election, you know the statement is right. Hardly a word has been heard from the local candidates since they were nominated, Except for the brief visit of Robert Stanfield the week before last, there has been little to let people know that an election is in progress. The campaign is hardly a campaign at all compared to the last election we saw locally when the Liberals won an upset in the provincial Huron riding by-election. There are no issues as there were then, There is no bitterness. There isn't any spirit of any kind, Compared to dapper Don Southcott, probing Paul Carroll and the dynamic Jack Riddell, the candidates in this election are faceless wonders. John Lyndon is a genuine nice guy who would win a great many votes from even stolid Conservatives, if he had the time to meet them all and they had time to get to know the jovial Goderich theatre manager. But he hasn't and they don't, and as a result, he has about as much chance of winning as Shirley Weary. Mrs. Weary should be getting to be better known by now since it's her third time at running. She has two strikes against her from the beginning: first, she's a woman and will have a hard time getting the woman's vote in Huron, but more important she's a New Democrat, and the conservatively -minded people of Huron are a long way from being able to accept the NDP, whether the party is represented by man or woman, Even Robert McKinley, the man who has held the seat for the Conservatives for nearly a decade, is not exactly a exciting politician. Like Mr, Lyndon, he is at his best when he is shaking hands with people, telling jokes and listening to their problems, Like Mr. Lyndon, he is no ball of fire when it comes to giving political speaches. Yet he will win again in a landslide, no matter what happens on the national scene (we in Huron have never paid much attention to national trends) because of three things in his favour: he's the incumbent; he's done a lot of favours for people over the years and he's a Conservative. None of the three has that ability to generate electricity in an audience that Jack Riddell possesses yet all three deserve to win. All three, one gets the feeling, would make good members of parliament. So, it may be a dull election, but at least we have the assurance that the voters of Huron can't lose, no matter how they vote. Time to spruce up Queen Street Main street in many Huron county towns has been getting a good deal of attention lately. Goderich started the ball rolling with a plan to restore The Square in that town, an area of the town that was already quite nice, Lately, Clinton has been making the news with its plans to restore its main street to its old-time glory, What about Blyth? For the most part, Blyth has been blessed with progressive merchants who have tried to keep their business places modern and up to date, Every year one or more seems to be replacing the exterior of a shop or splashing some paint around, This is commendable, but the problem is that it's hap -hazard. There is no co-ordination of effort, nothing to lend a common theme to the whole shopping area. Through the promotion of Blyth's two wool and leather outlets, Blyth has been given an image of, a small town where quality and craftsmanship are still important. Wouldn't it be a good idea if the merchants of the village could co-ordinate efforts to give this same image of quality to the whole main street? This might be a large scale project such as revamping the whole street or a smaller one of just putting some flower pots up and planting some trees. The village council could help out by doing something about the appearance of the main street parking lot. Nearly a year ago a delegation from the Blyth Board of Trade asked for improvements in the lot but as yet nothing has been done. BY BILL SMILEY Had a birthday recently. Some • people, especially women, are rather daunted by certain birth- days. For a young, attractive woman, having her thirtieth birthday is almost as horrible a prospect as having all her teeth out. After a couple of years in the early thirties, she realizes that • she is really just coming into her best period, that of a mature owman, still mighty attractive, and with a new emotional maturity she didn't have in the Gay Twenties. She's in the Flirty Thirties, and enjoying it thoroughly. But with the fortieth milestone looming, panic sets in anew. She sudddenly is convinced that anyone in the forties is over the hump, headed into a wizened old age. Strangely enough, after a couple of years in her early forties, she admits to herself and anyone else who will listen, that she's in the prime of life, She can still draw a whistle when the light is right, get her bum pinched if the party is rowdy enough. She's probably a grand- mother, but she's a "young" gramma. With a good dentist and contact lenses, she can disguise the fact that her teeth are still there only though sheer will power, and that she's blind as the proverbial bat. Then that grim reaper, the gaunt visage of Fifty, comes over the horizon like a wolf sweeping down on a lamb. This time, there is no panic. Just sheer despair. She knows, with a little mathe- matics, that anyone in the fifties is away past Middle Age, and has one foot in the grave and the other on a piece of dog defecation. She is OLD, and there's no hiding the fact. Yet five years later, in her mid -Fifties, she's striding about a i golf course, or screaming "Sweep!" at the curling club, or lying by a pool in Florida, holding in her gut and convinced she's in the Golden Age. Of course,sixty .is IT. The old man with the scythe is lurking everywhere. There's no longer any way of disguising the wrinkles and the wattles. At 62, she gets a good tan, hides the eyes with shades, and maybe even has the jowls tucked up beneath the ears. And a good girdle does wonders. At 65, she's collecting the old age pension her late husband's pension, living in a house with the mortgage paid, and jaunting off to Europe or California, where she picks up her second husband, a well-off widower, She's never had it so good. , At 80, widowed again, she's a swinger in Sunset Haven, playing bingo and the piano, and giving the eye to every fresh octo- genarian who enters the place. And that's who women are daunted by birthdays. Personally, I am never daunted. I have a lot of dents, but not a single daunt, Things have changed a lot around here. My birthday used to be a small something. Carefully coached by their mother, the kids used to come up with gifts which I •aw, shucks, you shouldn't have done it • accepted gratefully and gracefully. Nothing great. Maybe a fishing -rod or some golf balls. And the old lady would bake a cake - a ready -mix. I When they were older, away 1 from home, they'd call (collect) on the occasion, wish me Happy Birthday, and suggest that they 'I'm dented, not daunted could use a little financial aid. Now, I call them up and after the usual exchange of amenities, ask coyly, "Know what day this is?" "Yeah, Sunday. Why?" 1 try again. "No, I mean what day of the month?" "Not realy; wait'll 1 check the calendar." 1 try again, No, I mean what day of what month of what year? How old arc you? How do you know how old you arc? What day reminds you?" "Oh, golly, Dad. Why didn't you tell me it was your birthday? 1 would have sent a card. Or something." No, 1 am not daunted. But 1 never, ever, forgot my father's birthday. Let's see. 1 can still remember it. It was April 30. Or was it November 3rd? Anyway, 1 always sent him a card, even if 1 didn't remember until a month after the occasion. Anyway, 1 got one call on my birthday this year, it was from my big brother. After grumpily asking me what i was doing in bed at noon on my birthday, he revealed the real purpose of his call. He wanted to know if 1 had my little brother's address in Germany. i didn't. Some birthday ' greeting. But 1 did receive one birthday card which touched me deeply. It was from nay insurance agent. He never misses.

However, he speaks English too, so hr cdn go to an English home if a French family is not available for him. Strong, healthy and sturdily built, .1on has brown eyes. dark hair and fair skin. Ile wears glasses for astigmatism Jon is active and loves rough games, especially wrestling. ile likes camping and can hardly be kept out of the water Coloring, cutting and pasting are all fun for Jon, and 01 course he is fascinated by small cars. Because he is a lively tellu+c who plays hard, his toys don't last very long. Though Jon is happy in kindergarten, it seems unlikely that he will shine academically.

PG.5, The province Minimum wage increased 12.5 BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. HURON -BRUCE Ontario's minimum wage will rise from $2 to $2.25 an hour from October 1, announced this week by Labour Minister John MacBeth. The minium rate for constuction workers will go up at the same time from $2.25 to $2.50 an hour. The rate for student workers, working not more than 28 hours a week during school holidays, will rise from $1.65 to $1.90 an hour after October 1st, The "learner rate" for workers in the first month of employment will go up from $1.90 to $2,15 an hour. Mr. MacBeth said that he could not estimate the number of workers in the Province who are being paid the minimum, but felt it was someting over 150,000. An Ontario Hydro estimate that oil for therrnal generating plants will cost more than $11 a barrel by 1979 may be conservative, Energy Minister Darcy McKeough said this week, Answering questions in the Legislature Mr. McKeough said the hydro cost projection made at an Ontario Energy Board hearing a few days ado may be low in light of present inflationary trends. The switch from coal to oil, on several Hydro generating plants, is going to cost Hydro an extra 50 million by 1979 because of these oil price increases, The Provincial Government came under harsh opposition this week following release of a report showing that 26 Ontario firms emit unsafe amounts of lead. William Newman, , Minister of the Lnvironment, was asked why the Govern- ment had not taken action to close the major polluters in face of clear evidence of excessive emissions. Mr. Newman replied that most of the companies mentioned in the report are under abatement control programmes, The report showed the soil around 26 of the 45 firms had readings above the safe level of .600 pars per million of soil. A Bill to cintinue the freeze on Municipal per cent assessments for tax purposes for another two years has received first reading in the Legislature. Revenue Minister Arthur Meen said that spiralling real estate prices have made it impossible to reassess Ontario properties at their current market value. The Province is to Switch to assessments • based on current market value in 1976 for taxes that will be levied on properties in 1977. May and June are the most popular months for visits to the Parliament Buildings by studens.

The nation Getting voters to the polls a big problem for J my 8 election BY HUBERT GENDRON Politicians from different parties seldom agree on anything, but Montreal's candidates in the current federal campaign are unanimous on one point'; July 8 is the worst possible date for an election. It has been said that this is an election that the public did not want and now the poliiticians arc finding out how true that statement is. Candidates' headquarters across the island are phoning potential voters, not so much to sell tcir party programs but rather to make sure that the person will be in Montreal on July 8 and will be interested enough at least to make the trip to be the polling booth. In many cases, the potential voter is saying that he will not be around to vote, Senator Jean-Pierre Cote, the Liberals' chief organizer for the province of Quebec, says that "we fear that the voter turnout on July 8 will be very poor. July 8 is an impossible date for an election. Most candidates saw that they are gearing 'their campaign to "peak" one week before ;that election date on the weekend of June '29 when advance polls will be open. The world advance polls will be open. In normal elections only about four or live per cent of the elctorate votes at advance polls will be open. In normal elections only about four or five per cent of the electorate votes at advance polls. THis year the parties are hoping for a 20 per cent turnout. The national chief returning officer has relaxed the advance poll rules and in most cases has doubled the facilities and staff in each riding to accommodate people wishing to vote on June 29 and July 1. As one' candidate pointed out, "more advance polls will help but we are having trouble convincing people who can't vote July 8 to give up their July 1 long weekend to vote. If the weather is nice during the June 24 and July 1 long weekends and on July 8, the turnout is going to be awful." Another factor that is hampering candidates is the parties' failure to produce an issue or set of solutions that capture the voters' interest. Inflation, and its components (housing and food costs) is an issue but most voters tend to see it as a problem that cannot be resolved merely by a change of govern ment. No party wants Bill 22, the proposed provincial legislation to make French the official language in Quebec, to become an issue but in English-speaking ridings and in ridings with significant "ethnic" communities it is emerging as an issue that is hurting the Liberals. Senator Cote admitted that "a lot of people call us and a lot of them do not make the distinction between federal and provincial Liberals. They don' understand that we are two separate parties and that, 'while we will guarantee individual rights, we cannot step into a debate over education which is a provincial responsi- bility." Despite this unexpected issue, the Liberals arc expected to retain their hold on the Montreal area's 32 ridings. In most ridings the Liberals are working with majorities of several thousand votes and it would take a massive turnout of opposition votes to defeat the party's candidates. • One exception is Ste. Marie riding where Progressive Conservative Georges Valade is trying to regain the scat he lost by 119 votes toLiberal Raymond Dupont. The margin there is so small that the ability of each candidate's organization to identify and get his voters to the polls will be the deciding factor. Of the six cabinet ministers on Montreal island, only Communications Minister Gerard Pelletier appears to he having a real battle, His opponent is Tory Jacques Lavoie, one of Hochelaga's ;'favorite sons", who has been working there since 1972, He is fighting a 6,000 vote majority. in Westmount, the Conservative's national president Michael Meighen once again is running against Treasury Board president C. M. Drury. Mr. Drury won the scat by nearly 14.000 votes in 1972. in Lachine, 67 -year-old John Pratt, a former mayor of Dorval and Conservatikve MP from 1957 to 1962, is trying a political comeback against Rod Blaker who won the seat for the Liberals by 15,000 votes in the last election. In St. Henri, Frenchy Jarraud, a popular radio and television personality, is challenging Liberal Gerard Loiselle, who is working with a 1,448 majority. This is the riding which, in the past, has elected Frank Hanley and George Sringate to the Quebec legislature and anything can happen there. The Creditistes and the New Democrats do not appear to be a factor do not appear to be a factor in Montreal Island ridings in this election. ,The Montreal Star' ns want Kissinger y more than Nixon to staPoliticia. BY ROSS H. MUNRO The politicians of Washington who have been acting increasingly as if President Richard Nixon is dispensable - indicated last week they believe that Henry Kissinger, by contrast, is indispensable. Demonstrably alarmed by the extraor- dinary resignation threat of the Secretary of State, the U.S. Senate was rushing toward passing a resolution declaring Mr. Kissinger to be a most honorable mit. The rush to support Mr. Kissinger was 00 despite the fact that there remained some serious and unanswered questions about whether he had told die truth about his role in setting up Government wiretaps during the early days of'the Nixon Administration. What the Senate was really saying was that the United States cannot afford to lose Mr. Kissinger at this shaky juncture in its history, His continuing contributions to detente with the Soviet Union and China and his triumph in bringing about disengagement and a new balance of power in the Middle East trust, in perspective, overshadow his domestic transgressions, In that emotional news conference in Salzburg. Mr. Kissinger said he would resign unless cleared of allegations that, contrary to his own sworn testimony, he had initiated wire tapping and had been awat,e of the existence of the W Hite House Plumbers. If the. threat was designed to ro'usc anxiety Ind support, it was a great success. The SL lune Foreign Relations Committee quickly and unanimously agreed to accept Mr. Kissinger's request for a review of his testimony on wiretaps conducted on grounds of national security. It seemed likely that the committee would see its mission as 1•rotecting Mr. Kissinger whose recent accomplishments have earned the committee's praise and support. It is Mr. Kissinger's testimony before that Committee, during his confirmation hearings last year, that is at the centre of the current dispute, Mr. Kissinger testified that he ad not initiated any wire taps, "not in the sense that I said," 'Tap this individual."' He also left the impression that he was only peripherally involved in the entire wiretap operation. If Mr. Kissinger's testimony is reduced to bare semantics, he probably cannot be accused o1' lying. There is nothing yet on record which clearly demonstrates that Mr. Kissinger personally ordered any taps. But Ole thrust of the evidence wich has been either leaked or, in the case of the White House transcript, officially released suggests that Mr. Kissinger may have seriously misled the committee. This evidence suggests it was Mr, Kissinger who set in motion the events leading to the wiretaps or, in other words, that Mr. Kissinger might have been the initiator of the taps in everything but name. Some of this implicating evidence is not founded on innuendo and new leaks, as Mr. Kissinger suggested in Salzburg. Former White House aide John Ehrlich- man has stated, for instance, that Mr, Kissinger did know about the activities of the plumbers. And Mr. Nixon himself, in the White House transcripts, seems to be saying that he knows that Mr. Kissinger originated the taps. So why, with the welter of confusing evidence, would Mr. Kissinger demand that the entire matter be reviewed again? Some of the Secretary's friends are whispering the suggestion that he is trying to force Mr. Nixon into revealing new evidence which would clear him. In a similar vein, Mr. Kissinger might have felt compelled to start putting more distance between himself and the Watergate crisis so that he will survive if Mr. Nixon is forced out of office. For now, the transcript of the Salzburg news conference provides plenty of clues. The massive ego of the man stands out in his declaration that he must be cleared because "what 1 will not leave to history is the discussion of my public honor," In another revealing statement at that news conference, he admitted he was angered and flustered by reporters the week before when they questioned him more about the wiretapping issue than about his triumph in bringing about a disengagement in the Middle East. Mr. Kissinger also drew attention to the current issue of Newsweek which headlined its article, An UGIy Blot on Mr. Clean? What he didn't spell out was the bitter shock ' this headline must have caused him only one week after the same magazine headlined Super K's Mideast Triumph and portrayed him on the cover as Superman. Mr. Kissinger obviously felt so personally aggrieved that he was willing to, hold a press conference on the eve of Mr. Nixon's visit to the Middle East. This helped sabotage one of the prime aims of the trip as seen by the WHitc House -to divert U.S. public attention away from Watergate scandals and toward Mr. Nixon's role as a world leader. (White House aides left back in Washington, however, have been trying to turn this setback into another argument against impcachmen. Dean Burch, counsellor to the President, charged that the anti•Kissinger leaks were coming from an irresponsible House Judiciary Commit- tee of which Chairman Peter Rodino had lost control.) Although Mr. Kissinger will probably succeed in obtaining absolution, if not exoneration, from Congress, there will be other forums where his public honor may still be debated, Former aides to Mr. Kissinger, for instance, are using him and the President, arguing that taps on their telephones unconstitutionally abridged their rights, If trials are held, the courts may unearth new evidence and keep the controversy alive. Certain members of the Washington press corps, in addition, feel it is their professional duty to keep pressing for all the facts despite their high regard for the Secretary. it seems likely, therefore, that Mr. Kissinger will have to contend with a shadow of suspicion for -some time despite all his accomplishments.

From the Minister's Study BY TED HOOGSTEEN A problem that the Church has always opposed most comfortably is that of alcoholism. Its comfort comes from tradition, and now, all expect the Church to condemn excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages. Drunkenness is no virtue; neither is it an expression of adulthood. God finds no pleasure in the wrecks of humanity,' the dulled and brokcn minds, and wracked bodies. Human beings are the crown of creation whose task is to have dominion over the earth, not to imbibe in bacchanalian juices. To that end neither the local drinking establishment, nor that of the veterans, serve a useful purpose in our community. From where comes the hurt, the loneliness, and emptiness, which must be assuaged with alcoholic beverages? Is there no other place, no other source of happiness and satisfaction? Heavy social drinking and alcoholism, if a distinction can be made, make a mockery of humanity and the God who made us all. Alcoholism is an old problem, a killer of men, women and children, but through all the ignorance, hurt, and emptiness, which causes this deviltry, the call of Jesus comes clearly, for all to hear: 1 CAME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND HAVE IT ABUNDANTLY. Through the Church, Jesus calls, offering healing, peace and satisfaction. He does not condemn people, only their wrong doings. HURON MEN'S CHAPEL AUBURN Sunday, June 23 8:00 P.M.

Recently arrangements were made for a group of Indian children to attend the public school in a northern Ontario town. The principal of the school in the town was aware that Indian children sometimes had a rough time at the hands of other students, and to try to forestall this kind of situation, he called in a Human Rights Commission counsellor to talk to the other children. The counsellor asked the children if any of them had ever moved to a new school, and what they thought it would feel like if they were the strangers. In this way he helped them understand how the Indian children would be feeling when they ar- rived, and the integration proceeded relatively smoothly. Community counselling is one of the major roles of your Ontario Human Rights Commission. We hold seminars and dis- cussions with police in areas where there are communication barriers between them and minority groups, to help relieve ten- sion and promote mutual understanding. We attend meetings of immigrants and native-born minority groups to explain to them both their rights under the logislation and their responsibilities as citizens of this Province. We also help bring people into contact with local agencies like home -and -school groups, community and government agen- cies, and churches, which are available to help but which many people don't even know exist. Wherever there's a difficulty based on race, language, colour or creed, the Human Rights Commission is available to generate discussion and motivate people to develop understanding and re- spect for the other's point of view. Our job is to help bring people together and encourage healthier relationships among all groups.

MAIN FEATURES: • farmers will have direct access to feed grains in all parts of Canada; buyers are free to shop for the best bargain, sellers are free to find the best price for their crops; • a nation-wide information system through the Canadian Livestock Feed Board will keep everyone informed on selling prices across' the country; • the Canadian Wheat Board will continue to be the sole buyer and seller of feed grain for export market; • prairie producers have the choice of selling their grain to the CWB or to others on the domestic market; • cash advance payments and initial payments, similar to those provided to Prairie grain producers for many years, will be extended to growers across the country to encourage feed grain production; • a new storage program, costing the federal government $40 million a year, will be instituted to provide for security of supplies for Canadian markets; it will also lead to additional grain storage on the West Coast, in inland terminals, on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence and in the Maritimes; . • steps will be taken to bring into balance freight rates between meat and grain; this will progress according to trends in grain and livestock prices, and the degree of regional self-sufficiency in grain production.

P(.13. R.C. SeparateSchool Boardcuts back professiorall days BY WILMA OKE The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board approved six professional days only for the 1975-76 school terns instead of the proposed nine days. The Ministry of Education allows nine clays. The dates for the six days approved, discussed in committee of the whole, are to be worked out with the administration and staffs of the schools. The Board authorized the trading of a small strip five feet by 450 feet on the east side of the Seaforth property purchased recently from Arthur Wright and Neil Bell for another narrow strip five feet by 280 feet on the south side owned by Ewart Wilson of RR 4, Seaforth. The trading will provide the school board with property with an outlet to a side street which has not been constructed as yet. The Board will pay the total cost of severance and legal fees. Another trade in property happened in Stratford in the northwest arca of the city where the boundaries were adjusted on the 11.87 acres owned by the Huron -Perth Board as a future site for a school. The trade was with Eiwo Canadian Building Company Limited in order to finalize the subdivision plans for the area proposed by the Eiwo Company. Ted Geoffrey, RR 2, Zurich, chairman of building and main- tenance committee reported it is costing the board $5 per 111011111 for the storing of old windows in. the Coliseum which have been taken from schools renovated by the Board. The Board endorsed the resol- ution from the City of London for the development of a province - wide system of demountable schools. The London Board of Education is proposing to develop a joint administrative -board committee to study the applicabil- ity of the demountable structure concept for the proposed new schools in the 1975 capital works budget. The Board will advise the Huron County Board of Education that there is no additional space, to rent at the former four -room St. Peter's School in Goderich. At the • present time the Huron Board • rents three classrooms for the Queen Elizabeth School for the , Trainable Retarded and had ' requested the fourth room. It is rented to the Knights of Columbus for a meeting room. Vincent Young of Godcrich informed the board members. He said, "1 fail to see the urgency of putting the Knights out of house and home because a year from now they (the Huron Board) will be through renting." The Huron Board is in the process of building an addition and renovating Victoria Public School in Goderich where it is.providing space in the school for the Queen Elizabeth School for the Trainable Retarded which will be ready for the 1975-76 term. The Town of Godcrich is interested in renting space for the Day Nursery School next year when the Huron Board no longer rents the rooms, also the Goderich Art Club and they will be informed the Huron -Perth Board will consider renting at that time, The Board accepted the resign- ation of custodian and bus driver, Tony Denomntc at Ecole Ste, Marie, effective June 30. Don Crowley of RR 2, Gadshill, reported the two new 72 -passen- ger buses were in service at Ecole Ste. Marie and at Hesson. The old buses were traded in. At the request of Joseph Looby of Dublin, Superintendent of Education John Vintar, or his assistant, Joseph Tokar, has been asked to visit St. Patrick's School in Dublin to determine what should be done for the Kindergar- ten class. Presently it is housed in the former Continuation School across the road from St. Patrick's. Mr. Looby said there is a request for floor covering for the Kindergarten Rooni and the teacher wants the toilets moved upstairs. He said he was told the teacher is lonely with only her class in the school and 'she complained at having to cross the main street with the children to go over to St. Patrick's. Mr. Looby said that as the Board does not own the building Ile questioned spending money in it. He asked about getting a portable. Francis Hicknell • of RR 5, Seaforth, said he had received complaints too and said he felt the Kindergarten class should not be housed in the former Continua- tion School but one of the older classes. He said when the Kindergarten teacher and class wanted to use the gymnasium they had to cross the highway and the teacher had to put on the outer clothing for almost every child herself. Mr. Hicknell said that if a Kindergarten pupil became ill (as often happens in this age group) then the teacher had to phone the principal to send over a Grade 8 student to assist. The administration staff will check with the teachers to find out how many are interested in taking a first aid course. This is a follow-up to a request from Mr. Looby who feels one teacher in each school at least should have first aid training in case of an emergency. If enough teachers are interested to form a class the St. John Ambulance will be asked to give the course. Howard Shantz of Stratford, Vincent Young ,of Goderich and Oscar Kieffer of Bluevale, who attended the Canadian Trustees' Association convention in Regina, gave reports. Mr. Young said the main thing for him was the concern express- ed about the pastors teaching religion in the schools. The problem seemed to be if "we should give it back to the parish priest to teach religion in the schools, and if not, then we should educate our teachers ourselves at special courses". Mr. Young said that now Hullett students visit Storybook Gardens FIELD TRIP As the Kindergarten pupils from Hullett Central, both Class 1 and Class 2, arrived at London's Storybook Gardens on Tuesday, June 11, London Bridge Is Falling Down was probably the first song they were reminded of. Supervis- ors for the trip were Miss Adams, Mrs. Livermore, and Mr. Mac- Lennan. Bad weather almost caused last minute cancellation of the trip, but everything worked out well. The children were fascinated by the real life scenes from their storybooks and the animals, The children arrived back at school in time to go home on the bus to end a very enjoyable field trip. ORIENTEERING The Stone Farm near Clinton was once again visited by students from Hullett Central, this time for an orienteering session. Grades 7 and 8 took part in this activity on Friday, June 14. Prior to this, in class, the students had learned how to operate compasses. On arrival maps and instructions were handed out, and then the different groups set out one at a time at one minute intervals to find their way, using compasses. This trip combined the skills of geography, science and physical education. No one got lost, although a few were late arriving at their destination. 1 parents want reading, writing and arithmetic but they also want religion, especially when they are • paying extra for it (in the separate schools), Mr. Shantz said that he felt • each catholic trustee should be willing to enter the pulpit to expound on catholic education.

The article pointed out that Landers was rated as one of the best half-dozen fastball pitchers in the world. if his game had been baseball, not fastball, the writer said, Landers could have been making a hundred thousand dollars a year like Canadian Fergie Jenkins is in Texas. Instead, he has earned scarcely a penny from his skills over the years. • isn't it a shame that a talented ratan should not be rewarded for his skills? Fastball has always been a poor sister to baseball, something to be looked down on and sneered at by the sophisticates who support baseball. Yet in many ways, fastball is as exciting and has more action than baseball, It takes just as much skill or more to pitch a ball , underhand as overhand and still have speed, control' and make the ball curve, rise and drop on command. It takes just as much skill to hit the ball and to field it. Yet the game is speeded up in fastball because of the shorter distances. We've spoken in this column before about snobbery in sports and fastball seems to be one of those sports that's suffering because of snobbery. if people would look at the sport with open eyes and compare it to baseball, men like Pete Landers would be earning a lot more money. .We're .Celebrating our 80th Anniversary Eighty years is a long time! This family tradition began in 1894 by Allan Bert Bainton, Frank Bainton Sr. and their sister Jean Bainton. Our memory 9f 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 today. 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. Conte to our authentic Old Mill in Blyth (at the railway tracks) and sec why after 80 years, Bainton's is still making a name for itself in the wool atld leather business. BAINTON • a tradition of quality for 80 years. a1n100 OPEN MONDAY TO TH FRSDAY Y Y SATURDAY 94 SUNDAY 14 Agricultural Tidbits Consumer criticism of boards unfounded • WITH ADRIAN VOS Farm and Country magazine gives us some interesting figures about agency marketing boards. The Consumers Association and the Food Prices Review Board have been critical of these boards for a long time claiming that they restrict production. The figures however are somewhat different. When the tobacco board began operations in 1958 sales were 176 million pounds. This year's crop is expected to be 250 million pounds, That's restriction? Then there's the bean board, When they started, production was 822,000 hundred pound bags. Now it is 1,843,297 hundred pound bags, Restrict - lions? Ttie chicken producers have been attacked repeatedly for the quota system, but when they began operations in 1965 the production was 175 million pounds while last year it was up to 275 million pounds. One can readily see that orderly marketing produces more, not less, ***** After the famous heart trans- plant surgeon, Dr, Michael deliakoy from the USA debunked ttrc theory that fat causes heart failure, comes the news, as related in the new Macleans magazine that two Canadian heart specialists, Drs, Meyer Friedman and Roy }i. Rosenman, have come to the same conclusion "Coronary }kart disease almost never occurs before the age of 70, regardless of the fatty foods eaten, etc." They claim it is the type of person who is insecure, etc, 1 hope by gosh that our M,D,s will read this book, ***** "As Christians we must have a concern for the right to use all our resources even if it means vocalizing our displeasure with to the point of a showdown with governments who seem to show an arrogance for the rights, wishes and concerns of the Canadian people," says Huron's Anglican Bishop David Ragg. The Bishop spoke these words in connection with the disappear- ance of farm land for "highways, sprawling subdivisions or corri- dors for hydro power lines." "The land that God gave us for safekeeping, the land that He gave us so that we may feed His world is treated as a saleable commodity, The poorer lands are left because they are more difficult to handle." ***** Often we read in our newspap- + ers that Canadians have no confidence in themselves and as I often l have thought that they` were writing bull. The people 1 meet are usually self-confident enough. Now how. ever I'm beginning to see what those writers mean, It's not that we as Canadians have no selfconfiidence, but we have no confidence in our fellow Canal- inns. 1 came to this conclusion when discussing over the last few weeks export possibilities for pork. No one doubted that our pork is of top quality, but many doubted the ability of Canadians (others) to deal with Japanese buyers. Canada is the greatest trading nation in the world and 'couldn't be in this position unless 'Canadians arc the greatest traders in the world. Let's not underestimate foreign traders but let's not under -estimate our own people either. ***** Can we rely on the figures Statistics Canada gives us? Every three months a selected group of • farmers receives a form to he filled out as to how much and what crop they grow, how much and what kind of livestock they intend to market etc. When those predictions don't pan out it Is those farmers who are blamed for giving inaccurate reports. Mr. Patterson, a retired farmer from Blyth, dropped in the other day and told me that after having sold his farm several years ago he still receives this questionnaire regularly. The first question is if the farm has been sold and to whom, Mr. Patterson faithfully tilled ont that the farm was sold and does so every three months, If that information has been fed into the computer for several years, the number of farmers that sold must be disproportionately high. Makes one wonder about all the other statistics they churn out in Ottawa. ***** It's been said that a farmer is never satisfied and it has some truth. Take the weather. As every one knows this spring was too wet and the farmer wasn't the only one dissatisfied, Now that plant- ing and seeding is mostly done that same farmer is praying for rain in many parts of our area, He is so much dependent on the ‘weather that he is almost constantly worrying, But give him credit too, for if the weather damages crop prospects, he sighs and says, "We hope that next year will be better,' ,,,,,,,,,.......,,,f.,.,,,,,,....,.,,,,4„, E 1", '"KILLOP MUTUALHitt w 2 iio INSURANCE COMPANY '"....r. .... l.�e Established 1876 `✓.... }HEAD OFFICE: Seaforth, Ontarld Mrs. Margaret Sharp, Sec.

Family property laws affect every one of u:. These are the proposals Ontario is considering to improve them. Have you ever thought about how much your , life is affected by family property law? Probably not. Yet, hardly anything you have goes un- touched by these laws—the property you owned before you were married, the property you've acquired since, your home, your joint bank account, your credit, even survivor's rights when your husband or wife dies. Because family law is so fundamental, several years ago the Ontario Government asked the Ontario Law Reform Commission (OLRC) to consider the relevance of the existing laws to today's needs and to recommend appropriate changes. The Commission has reported and now the government is interested in learning your reaction to these recommendations. Should ownership of family property including theefamily home depend on who actually paid for it?...or should a system of co -ownership of assets be developed on the basis of marriage as a social and economic partnership? Should a spouse be entitled to an interest in the property of the marriage even when he or she has been unfair or unfaithful? How should the wife's non -monetary contribution to the development of the husband's business be recognized? If a system of co -ownership of property were introduced, should a couple have the option to draw up their own contractor make other arrangements to govern the property of their marriage? Should the proposed changes apply to exist ni g marriages or only to future marriages? The Commission did consider other kinds of community property systems including those in which sharing would take place from the time of marriage. As the OLRC proposals now stand, assets acquired during the marriage would be shared only when the marriage ends. The Commission also recommends that both husband and wife have a duty to support their children, and to support each other, when the other is in need and is unable to work. Do you agree with these proposals? We want to know what you think. To enable you to learn more about the OLRC proposals, your Ontario Government now offers a concise, easy -to -understand booklet, as well as a film on the subject for group discussions. We invite you to send for the booklet or borrow the film for your group. And, we'd like to know what you think of the OLRC's proposals, as well as other changes you'd like to see In family property law. After all, the laws are designed to serve you.

George Procter, the Super. intencdent, was assisted by Rev. Roberts and Mrs, Clifford Logan who introduced the guest speaker Miss Lavonne Ballagh of `'Vingham. Miss Ballagh referred her opening remarks to the Creation of God's World in Genesisl. She stated that Anniversaries are to celebrate happy and special occasions. Man has the power to hurt and destroy; but everything has a reason for being here. SHe used the story of "Goldiwings" a butterfly which wanted to ex- change life positions with a squirrel, a bee and finally an owl, but learned that each was important in its own special way. Two further stories concerning a can of paint which realized it was useless without a paint brush, a painter, a ladder and money, and about a young girl pianist whose two -finger practice - lesson became beautiful when put in a melody by a famous Musician, brought forth the idea that our little things, with God's help can be useful and beautiful. She closed her message by saying "Brighten the corner where you are." The choir of School members sang two num- bers and led in the singing of appropriate Hymns. The junior School members with their teachers were seated in the front pews. The congregation appreciates • the work undertaken annually by the School members and its helpers. Copper was first located in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, in the summer of 1897 by miners on their way to the Klondike gold fields, but no claims were staked at that time. ****** Porter Creed, a subdivision of Whitehorse in the Yukon was named after H.E. Porter, who staked the original Pueblo Copper mine claim in July of 1899. Between Whitehorse and Porter Creek is Rabbit's Foot Canyon which gets its name from a claim of the same name, staked in July 1899 by a prospector named Ole Dickson. ****** In 1973 the value of copper mined in the Yukon Territory was $13.7 million. Twenty-two million pounds were shipped out to markets around the world via the White Pass.

Behind the scenes Election '74 some choice BY KEiTH ROULSTON When the present election campaign started it was often said that this was an election that Canadians didn't want. As the campaign wears on, it looks more and more like this was the brightest observation that has been made in the whole campaign. i've yet to hear one single person say they were glad to see the election come, at least for political reasons, financially it helps increase newspaper and printing income for many people at a slack time of the year. The reason to me is simple, there just doesn't seem to be a clear choice to be made. For most people who don't follow traditional voting patterns of their fathers and grandfathers, making a choice on July 8 with the akin to pinning the tail on the donkey blindfolded. what are the alternatives? Well, first of all you can buy the government's argument that they are doing everything possible to fight - inflation; that this is a world-wide event and Canada alone can't defeat it, You can buy that argument because it is proba'ly true. But on the other hand, the cost of living figures released last week are enough to scare the heck out of you. Is the government really doing that good a job? If you think they aren't, then you could vote for the most obvious alternative: Mr. Stanfield and his price and wage controls. Mr, Stanfield makes them out to be sure-fire cures for the current problems. He doesn't even admit that they might have their flaws. It would be nice to believe him. It would be nice to think that simply by changing governments we could lick the problem. Unfortunately, few Canadians believe it is that easy. Few Canadians are really confident that wage and price controls are the answer. They have too vivid memories of the shortages caused by controls in the United States and the strikes that nearly broke the econotny of Britain earlier this year. Still, with inflation booming, what have we to lose? So far, it - seems, Canadians aren't sure if they can afford to take a chance it was the famous Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 that actually awakened the Yukon to the rest of the world and the 20th century, on what they might lose, They are surviving inflation at present, but would controls make the situation better or worse. For the working man, the proposal of the New Democrats is more tempting. It offers him the possibility of freezing prices without taking away from him the power to increase his income by negotiating better wage pack- ages. The businessman, on the other hand, is terrified by such a proposal. it means he can have huge increases in his costs without being able to compensate , by increasing prices. There are choices, then, but it doesn't make things easier for the voter. It would be nice if there was a black and a white, It would be nice to say the government is wrong and the opposition right, • but there is no guarantee they are. We know where we stand with the government's way of fighting inflation but we don't know with the opposition. Many Canadians, it seems from the recent polls, would rather stick with what they have than take the pig in a poke offered by the opposition parties. There are some ironies in the present campaign, that make it even harder to make a clear choice. If you can remember back to the last election (it seems few politicians have memories that long) you'll remember that the main point of the campaign of the opposition against Prime Minister Trudcau was that he was cruel and heartless to ordinary Canad- ians; that he sat in his ivory tower and handed down commands that threw people out of work. The reason for the criticism, of course, was that the government was trying to cool out the relatively minor inflation of that time putting tighter controls on the economy. They were tighten- ing up the money supply and decreasing government spend- ing. These tighter controls slowed the economy and unemployment increased. The opposition and editorial writers were claiming the government should be trying instead to help those hurt by inflation by increasing pensions etc. and should keep the economy booming, thus creating more jobs. After he took a beating at the polls, that is exactly what Trudcau did. Now, he is being blamed for not fighting inflation, and unemployment isn't even mentioned in the campaign, ,Then there is Trudeau's claim • that his government is responsi- ble for indexing income taxes and pensions to the cost of living figures, thus lowering the sting of inflation. He's technically right, of course. It was his government that brought the legislation into effect. However, the credit for the idea shouldn't go to Trudcau, but to Robert Stanfield, whose idea the government stole after the last election. Then there are the uncertain- ties of the present situation with a close election. Just how much have these contributed to the current troubles. For instance, if you were a businessman and saw the strong possibility of Robert Stanfield being elected on July 8, would you be taking a chance on waiting, or would you be increasing prices for your product now to make up not only for increases in costs you've had in the past few months, but also for possible increases you will face while the new government has your prices frozen? 1 think that is a simple question to answer. How much did this contribute to the startling increase in the consumer price index last month? That is much harder to say... ...Just about as hard as making a decision on who to vote for in the coming election, LET VI MAU Z011t OLD YU diftlI f BE1TER THANNEW1. •i!or a three ,.sUa.b sal a kik at star.
