An Ontario Hydro official in a telephone conversation with The Standard on Monday announced that Hydro had, for the present, suspended plans for establishing a site for a generating site near Goderich. "The decision to suspend the plant conics as a result to talks with provincial and municipal officials coupled with the findings of attitudes and other conditions in the area", the official quoted George Hullett township to get recreation committee Hullett township is joining the number of Blyth -area townships to form a recreation committee, The decision was made at the July meeting of Hullett township after Keith Arthur of Auburn appeared before council asking that the council consider the step, Discussions about forming recreation committees. in the townships have been underway for some time, spurred by a Blyth resident, John Elliott. Hullett council asked Clerk Clare Vincent to prepare the necessary bylaw to form the committee. The clerk reported that 62 per cent of current taxes have been paid. A letter is to be sent to the Ministry of Natural Resources to inform them that the council feels the weals must be cleaned up on Lot 21, Concession 4 because the weeds are a threat to neighbouring farms. The farm in question is part of the Hullett Marsh Wildlife Area. The tender for the open work on the Beane Drain No. 2 was given to George Radford Construction Limited of Blyth and the closed work will be done by Nicholson Construction, A petition for drainage from Bev Wallace and others was accepted. Building permits were issued to Mery Datenna, H. Caldwell, Doug Hugill, R. ShadOick, G. Wilts, H. Cunningham, J. Wiersma, G. Colclough, and Elgin Josling.

Each department presented a short program related to the theme. Certificates of enrollment and attendance were presented. A brief film on the family was shown. Hill backs Whelan on food prices Ontario Federation of Agriculture president Gordon Hill defended Agricul- ture Minister Eugene Whelan's remarks when he said last week that farmers were not getting enough money for their products. "He's right on...he's simply stating the facts," Mr. Hill told an impromptu news conference at a pork barbecue sponsored by the Lambton federation Saturday in Wyoming. "And anybody who doesn't believe him...well, where have they been?" Mr. Hill said that food prices don't depend on farmers. "This depends on the people who supply the goods and services that farmers need," Mr. Hill said. It depends on the petroleum industry, the farm machinery industry, the people that rent money and this sort of thing. As long as those costs keep going up, then people better recognize that prices arc going to be incorporated in the price of food," he said.

Writer discounts reckless driving Dear Editor, This' morning I was rather rudely awakened, not by the roar of a car motor, or the shriek of l tires, but by a vicious plot perpetrated by the town! Tree trimming! Where was the special constable? The extra police protection? The town vigilance committee? Looking the other way! Why? Because it's useless to take up a fight against the town! Many times in the past there have been complaints of the so called young hoodlums, quote the Standard "reckless late-night driving" and "drivers who rip and roar around the streets into the wee hours of the morning". By Monday morning the town is usually in an uproar. To quote the Bible, "let he who is blameless cast the first stone." I, for one, am not blameless, by my own admission. It's time to look at the other side of the coin. What would increased police protection Says Memorial Hall of little'use Thc Editor, I read the article in the Blyth Standard the other week about the expense and disagreements about the repair to the Memorial Hall. Why not put the money to better use, instead of into something that is used very little? A lot of you have families. What is there for then to do during the summer months? Nothing. The money should go towards a swimming pool and recreation for the young of Blyth and surround- ing arca. Not everybody can afford to go to trailers and cottages for two months or they don't stay around here in the summer to find out what is going on. Nothing. Also, sthere are the Senior Citizens of the town. What have they got? With more people retiring from the farms, there is no place for them to live and what is there for them to do? All this disagreement and bother about the hall is disgust- ing. It has stood empty for years, what use would it be? " The young of the community arc much more important to the future of this town than a lot of expense to the Hall, which is used very little. Signed, A Disgusted Blyth Taxpayer. Ed.

Paul Gross Brussels step closer to official plan The Brussels plan is moving closer to its finished shape. Officials from Grey and Morris Townships vocally approved the proposed' plan for Brussels at a meeting recently. The purpose of the meeting, according to assistant county planner, Nick Hill, was to give the surrounding municipalities a change to see how the plan may_ affect them, The reeve and deputy reeve of Morris and deputy reeve of Grey plus councillors from both townships studied the plan and raised no objections to it. Mr. Hill said those attending the meeting felt Brussels should remain the main urban area providing community services to the surrounding rural area. While the officials did not object to the plan, they mentioned the houses which have spilled into their own municipalities from the village. They suggested that rather than further extension of these developments building be done to fill in 'the areas between the townships' homes and the village. The Brussels plan is now being prepared for publication. A final public meeting will be held at the beginning of August with any last objections to be considered by the village council. Mr. Hill said that the plan should be'ready for county council by early fall THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 17, 1974. PG.3. Huron county library to get bigger grants Huron County's Library will receive larger provincial grants this year as a result of amendments to the Public Librar- ies Act announced recently by the Hon. James Auld, Ontario Mini- ster of Colleges and Universities. The increase should result in more books and periodicals in library branches along with better service according to head librar- ian Ethel Dewar. One of the services could be a newspaper microfilm file and a microfilm reader if the county library board approves it, she said, The amendments to the library act bring the per capita grant to about $78,000 from $70,000, plus a $15,000 basic grant raised from $10,000. The per capita grant is based on the county's 1972 population of 51,850. The library will now receive $1.50 for every resident compared to $1.35 in the past. The government will spend $11,000,000 on per capita grants and an extra $240,000 on basic grants this year for county and Decorators take over first place The Lawrie Decorators are in first place in the Blyth Industrial Softball League. The Decorators have five wins and one loss. The Radford's Gravel Giants are in second place with four wins and two losses and the Manning's Lumber Kings have one win and five losses. Both games last Sunday were cancelled due to rain. On Tuesday, July 9 the Lawrie Decorators defeated the Mann- ing's Lumber Kings 7.5. The game featured strong pitching and some outstanding defensive plays by both teams. Glen Coultes singled home Grant Elliott with the winning run for the Decorat- ors in the sixth inning. Richard Chalmers saved the game for the Decorators with a diving catch in the outfield which robbed Wayne McDougall of a three -run homer. Jayne Lotz homered for the umber Kings. This Sunday, July 21 the Lawrie Decorators play the Manning's Lumber Kings at 7:00. At 8:30 the Radford's Gravel Giants play the Atlas Raw Hides. local libraries. Total provincial budget for library support will be about $16,000,000 in 1974.75, as a result of increased grants. The extra money from the grants may be considered by the library board to set up the newspaper microfilm system as Miss Dewar lists it as a priority. It should include old files from the Goderich Signal -Star and the Huron Expositor, she said. Only one of the 29 county outlets now has a newspaper on file, the Exeter branch where the Exeter Times -Advocate is kept on microfilm, she noted. Old newspaper provide valua- ble historical documentation and should be preserved, Miss Dewar said.

During the election campaign, one of the issues that in the end didn't really seem to have much effect, was the cost of housing in major cities. The cost of housing has skyrocketed everywhere, of course as building materials increased in cost and land became scarcer and the mortgage rates went out of sight. The cost of building a house here in Blyth went higher. But the real shocker has been in cities like Toronto, In Toronto you may pay $90,000 to $100,000 for a home these days that would have cost you half that much two years ago when many people thought the price was already too high. The election saw many people say there should be government intervention, but should there? For those who would like to sec Toronto become another New York then there should be intervention to keep the cost of housing down. But the high cost of city housing may simply be the catalyst this country has needed for some time to stop the too -fast growth of cities like Toronto. People began moving to cities from the farms and small towns for economic reasons: they could earn more money in the city and get better jobs. Now, the trend may be reversed for economic reasons, that people cannot afford to live in the city. Given the high cost of housing in the city, many businesses and, factories will be looking for locations in smaller centres because they cannot afford to pay the kind of salaries workers would need to live in the city. When they move to smaller towns, the people will move with them, balancing the growth of Canada much better. The departure of people from the city, in turn, will take the pressure off the housing market and allow prices to come down to a reasonable level. That's the way supply and demand are supposed to work. Unfortunately, political pressure in Toronto will likely mean some government will step in and try to correct the situation artificially. In that way we'll continue to have growth pressures in Toronto and the pains of lack of growth in smaller centres. Longimpeachment road The impeachment process winds slowly onward in the United States and the result seems more uncertain today than it did months ago. Certainly it appears the House Judiciary Committee will recommend impeachment, but whether the House of Representatives and the Senate will concurr seems doubtful at the present. President Nixon has used every trick in the book and as usual, a few that weren't, to stall the work of the committee to make the committee • seem ineffective and partisan, and at the same time to improve his own image. More and more observers are beginning to think his tactics are working. Strangely the president seems to be winning at the same time as the evidence becomes more and more conclusive that Nixon did take part in the cover up of Watergate, that he did play a substantial role in the Ellsberg break-in and that he used the powers of the Presidency to increase his own riches and fight his personal enemies. In short, he is everything a president should not be. He is a liar and a cheat, even if it can't be proven that be deliberately broke a law. Most strange is the reaction of the people of the United States over the events. If the businessman found a man in his employ as dishonest as Nixon is, he'd fire him at once. Yet many businessmen are either supporting him openly or are not complaining about the slowness of the process. of getting rid of him. Chances are that if a person with the moral fibre of Nixon was a school teacher, he would be fired immediately. After all, teachers are supposed to set a moral example for students. But presidents? Probably the London Observer summed up Watergate the best when it reviewed An American Life: One Man's Road to Watergate, by former presidential assistant Jeb Stuart Magruder who is now in jail for his activities around Watergate. The Observer says: "Magruder ends by explaining that he now realizes that he personally 'was guilty of a tremendous insensitivity to the basic tenets' of democracy'. But he does not begin to explain how it was that a president of the United States collected a whole gang of such non -democrats around him, ran the country for four years with their help, and then was re-elected by about the largest landslide in American political history." Obviously Nixon and his band of cohorts are not all to blame. It was the American people who elected him. Council may win Like President Nixon and his stalling tactics in connection with the Watergate affair, it appears Blyth Council may be winning in its battle not to have to make a decision on Memorial Hall repa'rs, through its own stalling tactics. In Nixon's case, the Watergate fight has been going on for two years anal the energy behind the impeachment process has gradually been sapped. In the Memorial Hall issue, the people who would like to see the Hall put back into shape have been battling for two years through incessant delays, red tape and frustration and now when they finally seemed to have been winning they have been hit with the biggest setback of all through council's refusal to award a contract. Many of the supporters have expressed a deflated"you can't fight city hall" attitude, The possibility of raising the $20,000 the council wants in cash before awarding the contract seem remote to most supporters. For one thing, there are already indications there won't be any help from the Lions Club which is wrapped up at present in its own project, building a swimming pool. The Women's Institute has been a supporter of the project, but recently it donated money to the town for the purchase of street signs, so it may not have funds available. The Little Theatre is a young organization that won't have a future at all if the Hall isn't fixed and won't be able to raise much money to save the Hall without the Hall to use to put on projects. The Legion is behind the project but some members would like to see the Legion take over the building for a token fee and turn the upstairs into club rooms, a move which would destroy the theatre, the part of the building that sparked the renovation in the first place. A good many of the older people in town who would like to see the buildingrestored because they remember it as it used to be or because of its stature as a memorial have no one to speak for them and no funds to support the project. Sc, it appears council just might win. Yet one question has not yet been answered by council (councillors virtually ign. rod the Hall subject at the last council meeting) and that is: what wilt happei: if they do win Will they let the building fall down?

There wasn't really much 1 could answer to that. So, 1 thought, "The heck with the big coporations, when they can't recognize talent, drive and sheer ability, even though these are staring them right in their cold, corporate eye." The final straw arrived when a personnel manager at Bell Tele- phone told me warmly that yes, he thought there might be a real They are trying to buy me out future for me with the company and yes, he thought he might find a place for me in three or four months, but I'd have to start at the bottom, like everyone else. It turned out that the bottom was sweeping floors at something like $48 a week. Even in those days The Bell paid good • wages. That's probably why they have to gsk for a rate increase every couple of years, to compensate for their incredible generosity to their employees. Anyway, the bottom didn't have much anneal. I'd , had something in mind more like Vice -President in charge of Public Relations. So I shook him warmly by the hand, with that sincerity that only a V -P in charge of PR can muster, . thanked him, and said, "Mustn't take any more of your time. I have to dash to the Royal York for lunch with 'Jack McClelland of McClelland and Stewart, then catch the afternoon train for Montreal, where President Crump of the CPR has been trying to get hold of me for a week. By the way, if you get sick of The Bell, look me up in a year or so, and I might have something for you. Just contact Bill Smiley Associates, Incorporated, not to mention Limited." At least I left him with his mouth open, but I was seething, inside. Some people seethe on the outside, but I always do it inside. Anyway, 1 strode out of there, muttering, "All right. O.K. if that's the way they want it. I'll go it alone. i'll destroy them all within five years. I'll plunge into the stock market and buy them all up and have mergers and conglomerates and caviar and all sorts of stuff." Even then, young and inexperienced, I knew the jargon of big business. So I plunged, It was like a butterfly plunging at a bull elephant. Oh, I didn't just roar around buying up •companies. I didn't . buy just any old stocks. I wish I had. I bought some so new the ink wasn't dry on the certificates. But I proceeded with caution. 1 wasn't going to be taken in by some smooth -talking operator working out of a telephone booth. On the advice of my landlady's sister, who had her hair done every Wednesday with a friend who baby-sat for a prominent stock -broker's former wife, i decided to plunge into Nothern Ontario gold. My first choice was a lucky one. I bought into a company with a property so rich that even the . moose who used it for pasture had gold fillings in their teeth. And 1 didn't fool around with ' penny stocks. That's for the little guy with two hundred bucks to invest. No, 1 went for the solid, blue chip stuff. 1 snapped up one thousand. shares of this stock for 22 cents a share. Within two days it had shot up to 23 cents. 1 was on my way, and I've never looked back since. Its hurts too much. in three weeks the stock wasn't listed on the financial page. i still think it was because some linotype operator was sore because some of us were making fortunes, and he left the name of the mine out of the list through sheer spite; But all this is getting us nowhere, 1 started out to tell you CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 standard KEITH & JILL ROULSTON Co•Publtshers .

WITH ADRIAN VOS My city friend Harry said the other day to me that my son, who wants to take over the farm some day, is in a really good position to do so. "Listen to the politicians. All parties are promising that when they get the power they will do something to make it easy for a young elan to start farming," he said. It just so happened that I was reading the Canadian Country- man of May 1936. A Mr. Staples writes: "What hope is there for a young elan who has little capital to begin with? (to begin' and continue farming). The answer must be that under present conditions there is little. Nowa- days a farmer must have a considerable cash income from his operation. By no other means can he pay taxes, professional services, procure clothing and groceries, machinery, food, seed buildings and fence repairs and all the other host of items that enter into farm necessaries." 1 could keep on quoting and it could as well have been written today about mortgages and farm credit, interest etc. So I told Harry all this and asked him if he still had so much confidence in promises made during an election cam- paign. "Well," he said," if that problem already existed 38 years ago, both major parties have had a chance to do something about it. 1 begin to share your scepticisme. ****** When Moses declared the meat of the pig unclean, he made a law that has its repercussions felt todov. Many old wives tales derive from this law. There is still r another part of the Bible that does have a bearing on todays farmers image. The same Mr. Staples from the Canadiar Countryman quotes from the wisest man who ever lived, Solomon, Chapter 38 of Ecclasiasticus, verse 25,: "How can he get wisdom who holdeth the plow, that glories in the goad, that drives oxen and is occupied in their lahours, and whose talk is of bullocks? He gives his mind to making furrows and is diligent to give the cattle fodder—such shall not he sought for in the public council nor sit high in the congregation: they shall not sit on the judges' seat nor understand the sentence of judgement; they cannot declare justice and judge-. ment ; and they shall not be found where parables are spoken." In other words: The farmer is no more than a rather stupid hayseed. I wonder what the secret opinion is of many city people. My city friend, Harry, asked me recently why I would like my son to be a farmer. "Your people are always complaining that farming is a poor way of investing your money. You work long and hard. Thousands of you arc leaving the farm scene•cach year and yet you want your boy to get int. khis poor business." "Well Harry it's this way," I answered, "I know both sides of the story. 1 had city jobs for the biggest part of my life and made some good money too, but when visited my farm friends I always was impressed with the way they lived. Compared with the life in the factory, which was boring and uninteresting and where there was no loyalty to the firms we worked for, farming is alive and always a challenge. In most factories we didn't very often know what the parts we were producing were used for. There was very little pride in our product and more often than not we downgraded our own work. The foreman was always hovering in the background and when anyone suggested a better way to do something, he appeared to be afraid to adopt it for the general nlanaget alight think tha the should have done the improve- ment before this. "'i'he farmer on the other hand always tries to improve on his crops or his livestock gets a high grade when processed, He fries to get as many pounds of nkat for as low an amount of feed as possible and when he succeeds he not only gets a better income but has a sense of achievement he can seldom get anywhere else," "On top of this I don't believe that farming will always be a poor investment. With the new aware- ness among farmers that together they are stronger. and getting better vol better organized, the financial returns arc bound to get better.. "As you can sec Harry, when encourage my boy to learn farming, I do so in the first belief that a good future lies ahead for hint. Of course, as in any profession, to keep abreast of new developments is the key to a successful farm enterprise and this entails continues study. But the rewards are high,. especially in satisfaction." Harry stuttered something about this city job being not all that bad and we left it at that. ±ILJEUI'HOHOMd CLEARANCE of all 1974 colour TVs. & Stereos 1975 models are coming All units must go to make room for these terrific savings FULL WARRANTY sifigiisAil... .�..a==-"' --i_-•-.. -� 4 S1ADb0andT!

The total 1973 crop has been cstimatcd at 14.8 million bushels.

The marketing board further advises that resale of purchases by the board includes the following: 7,296,959 bushels to domestic flour millers; 309,730 bushels to domestic seed dealers (revised from the last report), 1,455 bushels to domestic feed dealers (revised) and 1,439,122 bushels for export as wheat (revised), Present board inventory totals approximately 3,000,000 bushels.

It's a mouth-watering blend of marinated tomatoes, green pepper and onion that can be prepared in mere minutes, say Food Specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agri- culture and Food. This salad adds color, coolness and nutrition t.► summer picnics, buffets and barbecues. Good nutrition doesn't take a holiday so, even on warns summer days, meals should still be planned around the basic food families. "Ontario Salad", made with the vegetable family, contri- butes necessary vitamins and minerals. Tomatoes and green pepper are particularly disting- uished family members, as they both are excellent sources of vitamin C, a vitamin often lacking in the diet of many Canadians. "Ontario Salad" is great for warm summer days. Because it can be made up quickly, the cook has more time to enjoy the summer sunshine without neglect- ing the family's daily need for vegetables. Take advantage of the plentiful supply of Ontario tomatoes and feature this salad soon.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 17, 1974. PG.9, Solutions to farm pond troubles Ponds arc a great asset on a farm, but some of the problems their owners are faced with can be frustrating. "Perhaps most dis- tressing is being unable to use the water that is there," says Prof. R, W. Irwin, of the School of Engineering, Ontario Agricul- tural College. Algae bloom and muddy water arc the most common troubles, With careful treatment, these problems can be eliminated and the chemicals, if used at the recommended rates, are not harmful to fish, livestock or humans, Early summer is the time when algae bloom becomes particularly noticeable and disagreeable. This can be controlled and prevented by applying bluestone (copper sulfate) at a rate of one-half to one pound per 100,000 gallons. Estimate the amount of chemical you require and buy what is necessary at farm supply stores. To apply the bluestone, first dissolve it in water in a plastic pail, then use your garden sprayer to apply it evenly over the surface of the water, On large ponds, spraying can be done from a boat. Becareful when handling; in concentrated form bluestone is poisonous, At recommended rates, however, it docs not harm fish or prevent swimming activi- ties. To clear ponds of nituddy water, Prof, Irwin recommends spread• ing agricultural gypsum evenly at 0 rate of six pounds per 1,000 cubic feet of water. If the pound does not clear in several days, repeat the operation, On muddy shallow ponds (less than three feet deep), spreading loose hay at a rate of two bales per acre of surface has some limited success, This treatment may be carried out at 14 -day intervals, up to a maxiniunm of four times a year. However, Prof. Irwin emphasizes that hay treat- ment SHOULD NOT be used on stocked ponds. If undisturbed, treated ponds remain clear indefinitely. But further steps can be taken to maintain clear water; grassed areas around the pond will keep soil particles from entering the water. Preventing cattle from drinking directly from the pond will also help avoid stirring up the sediment on the bottom. Stewart's Red U White Food Mkt.

The rising costs of feed, both purchased and produced on the fartn, make it important that farmers get the best return for feeding expenses. "This is one of the main reasons for a rapid increase in the number of samples submitted to the Feed Analysis Laboratory," states H.J. Clapp, a dairy cattle specialist with the Ontario Minis- try of Agriculture and Food. In the period from April 1, 1973, to March 31, 1974, the laboratory at the University of Guelph received more than 2,500 farm samples from across Ontario, nearly triple the number received in the same period a year earlier. The majority of samples sub- mitted are tested for dry matter and crude protein, although the specialist points out that requests for phosphorus, potassium, cal- cium, magnesium, and several other trace element tests have increased about 17 times since the program started. The interest in these elements stems mainly from t:,r knowledge that deficien- cies can be related to some herd growing health problems. Also, in high production herds, the complete analysis is necessary to help farmers maintain production levels. "The high cost of supplements for livestock rations makes • the feed analysis program especially attractive," says Mr. Clapp. "If the feed produced on the farm contains the required levels for adequate nutrition, then un- necessary trace elements can be reduced or eliminated from the feed supplements." Samples are processed within two weeks, and the results sent directly back to the farmer, with a copy to the office of the county agricultural representative who can help the farmer in ration balancing. Feed sampling information and assistance may be obtained through the county offices of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The sample bags and envelopes are available from the Feed Analysis Laboratory, De- partment of A. 'mal and Poultry Science, Ontario •1eicultural College, University of Guelph,, Guelph, Ontario.

Muraille sells advance tickets for jail An important segment of Huron County's history will come alive in a few weeks when the revolt of 1837 is dramatically recreated by Theatre Pass Muraille. The Huron Historic Jail Board announced last week the touring company agreed to stage "The Farmers' Revolt 1837" at the courtyard of the jail beginning July 30 for five to 10 days. Members of Theatre Passe Muraille set one condition how- ever that the jail board must sell at least 250 advance tickets before they will come to Goderich. According to reviews the theatre company has received in the past, the play is worth seeing, The five actors bring history alive, portraying famous Huron County residents such as Tiger Dunlop and Anthony Van Egmond. Other characters in- clude William Lyon Mackenzie who led the revolt, Bishop Strachan, Sir Francis Bond Head, enemy of the settlers, Canada Company officials, government officials and Huron Tract Settlers. The plot emphasizes the characters of the men who revolted and members of the family compact who suppressed them. Director Paul Thompson and script writer Rick Saultin re- searched the revolt thoroughly to make the play authentic. Although many persons dis- miss Canadian history as being dull, their research proves that notion to be wrong. Theatre Critic with the Toronto Globe and Mail., Herbert Wit - taker, heralded the Theatre Passe Muraille as fast becoming the top touring company of Ontario. He reviewed their performance of the Farmers' Revolt in glowing terms using words such as "exciting", "realistic", and imaginative". Margaret Rodger of the Strat- ford Beacon Herald rated the play as "an intimate view of regional history and a memorable one". "The plight of the homestead- ers, oppressed by the unscupul- ous Toronto Clique, becomes so vivid that one is almost tempted to look about for a pitchfork and join thein in their march on that city", she wrote. The mood of the performance ranges from funny to tragic. Critics have called the quality of the acting as first rate when the players create the scenes. They have been received with trememdous applause and ac- claim across Ontario whenever they have performed. Persons interested in finding out why "The Farmers' Revolt should contact the jail board for tickets at 524.6971.

THE i LYTH STANDARD, JULY 17, 1974, Behind the scenes Inflation: people understood better than politicians BY KEITH ROULSTON The big issue in the election was supposed to have been inflation but it seems to have been overlooked by most Canad- ian voters, It shows that the Canadian people arc probably smarter than the politicians and members of the press, Oh, don't get me wrong. Inflation certainly is 'a problem, and the newspaper business is no exception. Frankly, 1 get as suspicious as anybody when the umpteenth raise in the cost of newsprint comes along. But we get too carried away some times to the point of hysteria. We talk about inflation in the price of food, for instance. 1 read an editorial the other day that admitted Eugene Whelan was probably right when he said the price of food had to go higher so that farmers could make a decent living and afford to hire help. It noted that the Food Prices Review Board had also discovered that the food ' companies weren't making excessive profits either. That was all very well, the editorial said, but it didn't change the fact that food prices were too high and that people all over the world are starving because they can't afford to buy food. That's the kind of intelligent, far -thinking editorials we need from our newspapers: like saying black really is black but would be much better if it was white. What do the editorial writers expect, that farmers should starve to death so they can give free food to the starving masses elsewhere? Really the price of food doesn't bother me so much and I don't think it should even be considered inflation. For one thing, averaged over 20 years, the increase in food isn't really inflationary compared to the cost of everything else, Secondly, 1 think the farmer is the single most important individ- ual in society, since we all have to eat. Judged according to his importance the farmer then should earn the best living of all, well ahead of lawyers, teachers and newspaper editors. Thirdly, the price of food is just as likely to come down as go up. You can bet your boots, however, that the cost of other items will not come down. Those arc the items that worry me when you talk about inflation. The way the price of cars, for instance has skyrocketed in the past few years, especially the price of used cars. The increase in the cost of building materials for housing. The increasei n the price of paper, of plastic, of oil, of leather, of steel, of just about every basic in the economy. Many people accuse the com- panies who have raised the price of these commodities of price gouging. It's always easy to say the other guy is making a killing. The other guy's job is, of course, TODA'(S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO J JA SYNDICATE Howie is an engaging youngster, just a bit self-conscious about having his picture taken. Small -boned and slim, seven-year-old Howie has big dark eyes, brown hair and fair skin. He is in good general health but is susceptible to colds and has had several bouts of pneumonia. He eats and sleeps well. Outgoing, lovable Howie is a self-effacing youngster who seems younger than his seven years. He needs lots of affection, affection and reassurance. He enjoys playing with one or two children at a time but is not happy in large groups of youngsters where he seems to feel overlooked and lost. Tests have sometimes showed Howie as average, sometimes below. His Grade one teacher felt he was average in ability. His attention span, which used to be short, is increasing and he is beginning to develop self-confidence. Howie is normally cheerful and at his happiest when he is being helpful to either his foster mother or foster father. He Ioveq snowmobiling and is fascinated by cars, both real and toy. It appears he will have mechanical ability. He attends Sunday School regularly. The Children's Aid Society feels this boy will blossom in a warm adoption home. He needs relaxed, experienced parents who will give love and encouragement and yet allow him to mature af< his own pace. He should be the youngest child in his adopting tamily. To inquire about adopting Howie, please write to '1 oday's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information please contact your local Children's Aid Society. HE LOVES TO HELP always easier, alwlays better paid, Few people seem to remember the old saying about walking a mile in the other man's moccasins, if they did, maybe they wouldn't be so ready to criticize. David Lewis and the N.D.P. for instance, made many a political mile in the past few years by screaming about corporate rip- offs, saying the big companies arc making huge profits (it's a great campaign slogan since lots of people can hate big companies but big companies don't have a vote so you can't lose their vote by condemning them). Yet 1 read an article by a business expert the other day that argued that we are in the mess we're in today. because the companies are making too little money, His argument was that the government controls on industry in the past few years had discouraged investment and this was now reflected in shortages in many commodities which in turn has driven up prices. Logically, the high prices should encourage investment and increase supply, thus bringing down the cost, but it ain't necessarily so. The big problem is the high interest rate which is frightening off investors. The N.D.P. had the easy answer to that. They asked the government to force the banks to lower the consumer lending rate to six per cent. But if that happened, wouldn't more people borrow money to buy more things and create a bigger demand and in turn a bigger shortage which would mean even higher prices? Inflation, then, would seem to be insolvable but, call me an eternal optimist if you will, but 1 think we soon won't be worrying about inflation at all. In fact, by the next election, I'll wager that Trudeau won't have to worry about inflation being a campaign issue at all. I'm not suggesting Trudeau will lick inflation; I'm saying the world will keep on turning and inflation will gradual- ly die down just as it did during the Korean War, just as unemployment did after the last election, just as we worry about the weather being too wet, only to see it change and be too dry. We'll always have problems, just different problems at differ- ent times. i i 1 ENDSSATURDAY JULY2O •Sleepwear *Lingerie •Infants Wear •Socks •Panty -Hose *Sweaters 'Jeans •10.% OFF ON BEEHIVE WOOLS & SAYELLE YARNS •$1.00 OFF ON BRAS •$2.00 OFF ON GIRDLES \\\\\\\\\\ Blyth Women's Institute sees 4-H skits 'The July meeting of the Women's Institute was held in the Memorial Hall with the president, Mrs. J.
