Wingham Mayor' DeWitt Miller at a council meeting in his town last week read a letter from the Ministry of the Environment regarding Wingham's dump in East Wawanosh. The ministry wants the town to pump water away from the dump which is in an old gravel pit, and grade all refuse to a 30 degree slope. All trash is to be covered daily and all burning must cease. Reeve Joe Kerr was unhappy with the Ministry officials who inspecited the dump without informing town officials or giving them a chance to explain. He said the only fire at the dump had been caused by arsonists in April and the fire had smouldered until early this month because firemen were unable to get the tire out completely. He said he thought the town's practice of covering garbage once a month, was sufficient. Over in Scaforth, the town is hoping to get other communities to use its, new facilities in order to spread the cost a little thinner. Seaforth, faced with reports from inspectors unhappy with its dump, has approved purchase of a $115,000 incinera- tor to burn all garbage. "It doesn't seem we can do else", Mayor Frank Sills said. anything The incinerator will be located on the site of the present town dump. Besides the high cost of the machine there will also be high maintenance costs because a maintenance man will be required whenever the incinerator is in operation, and a new power line will have to be built to the site to provide the needed' power.

Huron County Warden Bill Elston of Morris township and County Administrator John Berry led the vocal opposition, Friday to the proposals of the Report of the Health Planning Task Force headed by Dr. J.F.

Health Council p roposal borders of the District Health Council which would administer health services for Huron are too large. The district includes all of Huron, Perth, Middlesex, Oxford and Elgin counties, a total of 550,000 people. In such a large district, Mr. Berry said, the 50,000 people of Huron county would be swamped. He said there is little chance Huron could get an effective voice on the district health council which would include 10 appointees and five municipal repres- entatives. The district health council, he said, un would have the power to approve or disapprove all hospital budgets and he wondered how the smaller hospitals of Huron could hope to get fair treatment from a board administering the large hospitals of London and St. Thomas. The. Mustard report was sent out to members of county council on June 18 but copies were not received until July 4. A letter accompanying the 77 -page report set September 1 as a deadline for comment. Mr. Berry said it left Huron in a bad position with little chance to study and comment on the report before the deadline. There were no regularly scheduled council meetings and many county officials were away on vacation. The Huron County Board of Health has studied the report and recommended that County council object to it. So a special meeting of county council has been called to discuss the plan on August 12 and invitations have been sent out to all hospital boards to send representatives. Warden Elston said he was shocked by some of the provisions in the report such as the power of the council to decide how many doctors would be allowed to practice in the area and where. If a doctor refused to go where the council recommended, he could continue to practice but could not collect O.H.I,P. funds. The report recommends primary health care units of six doctors and six nurses for every 10-15,000 persons. The report also recommends: "In a fairly isolated arca, there might be a nursing station with two or more nurses who will act under the supervision of a physician in a more central community. This physician may be a member of a group based in a still large community some distance away. Thus, a group could consist of six physicians physically located in two or three different communities and 12 nurses, some of whom will be located in smaller communities than those in which the physicians are based." The report is vague in some areas which led to some speculation among councillors as to just how wide the powers of the heOh council would be. Some reference to recreation facilities worried councillors that the health council might have jurisdiction over recreation. Overall the reaction to the proposals among councillors was completely nega- tive. Goderich deputy reeve Stan Profit called the proposals "Socialism beyond David Lewis' wildest dreams". He said that the people of Ontario are so afraid of socialism they are backing into it. The main worry, however, seemed to be about the sire of the area. Mr. Berry pointed out that it is one of the largest areas in the province both from a territorial and a population standpoint. The Grey - Bruce district, for instance has two counties and only 114,000 people. Lambton-Kent has 200,000 and Essex county is by itself with only about 200,000. The health report ran into criticism elsewhere last week. Health Minister Frank Miller defended the report at a meeting of Lambton-Kent arca municipal and Hospital officials. The criticism was strong and Mr. Miller said he would delay forcing the implimentation of the report, but said it would be put into law eventually. He said he had heard no criticism from elsewhere in the province besides Lambton-Kent. On Friday, Mr. Berry indicated that this may be because the report was slipped in so quietly most municipalities and hospitals hadn't had time to read it. PG.2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 24, 1974. Sport talkDecorators hold onto first place Canadians need a break League �n Industrial The future of Canadian -born football players seems pretty bleak these days. The Canadian Football League seems to be teetering on the edge of extinction, much of it self-inflicted, If the C.F.L. goes under, the better Canadian players will likely be absorbed into the W.F.L., but in the long run there will probably be few Canadians playing professional football. Without the C.F.L. to keep football alive coast to coast, football will decline to a regional game played only in the few cities that have American teams. Strangely, the body most to blame for the plight of the Canadian Football player is the sante body which has given the Canadian player a job: the C.F.L. On the surface the C.F.L. Canadian content rulings look like something to promote the advancement of Canadian football player but really it's been used as just a way to get cheap labour. Canadian players have been put down as inferior and told they aren't worth as much money. So, while the teams spent big salaries recruiting ,Americans, they paid Candians peanuts. They did little to help promote development of Canadian players, even to throw in a little cash to keep the O.R.F,U, alive after it had provided so many players over the years. Was it stupidity or greed that has led to this state of affairs? Are the C.F.L. owners so stupid they can't see the trouble they're getting themselves into or arc they just so greedy that they don't care? Could it be that they purposely kept Canadian football underdeveloped so that the players wouldn't be good enough to go down to U.S, teams and win places? If a man has only one place to work he doesn't have much bargaining power. it's kind of sad to see what's happening, to know that we won't have Many football teams in Canada soon, to know that the exciting Canadian style of football will be gone, and to know that we'll never have a chance to see great Canadian players like Russ Jackson develop again. 1974 milk incentive plan announced Ontario's Minister of Agricul- ture and Food, the Hon. William A. Stewart, announced this week introduction of a new Industrial Milk Production Incentive Pro - grant for 1974. In effect from July 1, 1974 to June 30, 1975, the new program will continue to encour- age the expansion of industrial milk production and the modern- ization of production facilities in a manner similar to the original 1973 Industrial Milk Incentive Program. "Our success with the 1973-74 program has convinced us of the need to continue the incentive program for another year to help ensure the retention of Ontario's portion of the Canadian Dairy Commission's Market -Sharing Quota, Consumer demand for industrial milk products • namely butter, cheese and powered milk - has further strengthened our desire to provide a system of expanding Ontario's industrial milk output," said Mr. Stewart. Under last year's program, an estimated 1,863 loans were recommended totalling over $26 million for an average of $12,419 per loan. The anticipated increase in industrial milk, as a result of the program, has surpassed original expectations by 22 percent to a total of close to 304 million pounds. The main features of the 1974 program are essentially un- changed from the previous program: • 5 -year guaranteed bank loans • no repayment of principal in the first year • grants of up to 20 percent of the principal payable to farmers if all conimittnents are met • can shippers of industrial milk to convert to bulk milk tanks its order to obtain loans. "We must encourage and a,sist Ontario's 4,800 industrial milk producers shipping in cans to convert to modern bulk handling. Once the switch is made, milk productively will hopefully increase for the individ- ual producer," commented Mr. Stewart. Eligible farmers must be holders of a milk production license and suppliers of milk in the Group 1 or Group II Pool, or sell their cream to an Ontario creamery. Intc;rested applicants will be assisted by the local staff of the Ontario Ministry ' of Agriculture and Food and the field staff of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board in determining how great an increase in milk production is attainable, and how much money should be borrowed in relation to the repayment capabilities of each case. Grants under the program are over and above the grants available under the Capital Grants Program of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Initial inquiries should be directed to the local office of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture nd Food, and not to the local nk.

Ministry outlines services offered to area woodlot owners The Ministry oI' Natural Re- sources has a number of services available to the public in regard to woodlot management. Landowners contemplating the sale of merchantable trees would do well to contact the Ministry first. Forestry staff will inspect a woodlot for a commercial cut and mark the trees that should be harvested at that time. Trees to he cut arc marked with two snots of paint. One at breast height makes them easy to sec by the cutters. The second at stump level enables the woodlor owner to check the bush after it has been cut to make certain that only the marked trees were taken, Volumes of timber are com- piled and a minimum sale price is given to the landowner. This timber, with the owner's permission, is advertised within the District on a timber sale notice that is sent to all local log buyers. Sales are negotiated directly between the log buyer and the landowner, Competition is keen and better prices to the land- owner generally results'. Many woodlots are being over -cut, Selling only the marked trees leaves the stand in a better condition so that another cut can be made at a later date.

Maple syrup producers also consult the Ministry to find out ways of increasing the sap yield in a maple bush, The Woodlands Improvement Act is a program that has been of great benefit to the landowning public. Under this program, the landowner enters a 15 -year agreement with the • Ministry. Young hardwood bushes of at least 10 acres in size are thinned to give the more desireable trees a better chance to grow. Unwanted trees are girdled with an axe. With the ter layers of the wood serve ., the tree soon dies. This method has proven just as effective and more economical than actually cutting the trees down. Eventually the girdled trees break down. The landowner must protect the woodlot from fire, insects, disease and live- stock. Some_wolf trees are often left to provide a wildlife habitat. Areas served by the Winghsun District Office include all of Huron and Perth Counties, the townships of Huron, Kinloss, Culross and Carrick in Bruce County, and Minto Township in Wellington County.

Editorial Let's not skimp There are so many big issues and big expenditures facing Blyth council these days that the importance of a few small ones has been nearly completely overlooked. While the sewer question, the Memorial Hall renovation and improvements to streets and drains all cost big money and have attracted big attention council has been skimping on some little ones which are very important. The subject of pay to councillors and expense accounts for conventions and meetings is often a touchy one, Many municipalities have seen these privileges abused. Some councillors use their position as an excuse to travel well across the continent and some have even taken winter vacations in the south. In Blyth the problem is just the opposite. All members of the Blyth council are businessmen, very busy businessmen. They don't have the time to take off to go to meetings and conventions and so just don't go. When one member does go, council has agreed to pay direct out-of-pocket expenses, but does not compensate him for loss of income while attending the meeting. As a result, Blyth goes unrepresented at many meetings...this at a time that so many changes are being made that it is important for our councillors to be up to date on the latest municipal information. Blyth nas come a long way in the past couple of years because it had smart, well-informed councillors. The councillors shouldn't jeopardize this progress by being ridiculously tight with tax money when it comes to such meetings. They may learn something at the meetings that in the long run will save the taxpayer a heck of a lot more than the cost of the meeting. Peace -keeping isn't easy The first shot was fired in Cyprus and some Canadians started calling for the withdrawal of Canadian troops from the United Nations Peace Keeping force on the island. Tuesday, the Toronto Globe and Mail called for Canada to get out of the peacekeeping role on the island. External Affairs Minister Mitchell Sharp, old wishy-washy himself, started making noises like Canada didn't want any more of keeping the peace. Frankly, we need to have our butts kicked. Canadians have been retreating more and more into isolationism in the past few years. The policy hasn't been dictated by the government as much as by the comfortable majority of Canadians who don't want to be worried about the troubles of the rest of the world. We don't want to be reminded of the starving children in India or other poor countries. We don't want to be reminded that there are wars going on in the world and that we could be doing something to help stop them. Canada, through the leadership of Prime Minister Pearson in the 1950s and 1960s, earned a reputation as being a nation that was willing to work hard to earn piece in the world. Now, we seem to be saying: sure we'll help keep the peace but only if it doesn't cost us anything and if none of our soldiers are in danger. Certainly it is upsetting to hear that Canadian soldiers are hurt or killed when keeping the peace. But soldiers are paid to be soldiers, even if it means being in danger. The risk to a few. Canadians is worth it if they can keep thousands of innocent children and women from being killed in Cyprus or Vietnam or the Middle East. Canadians, fat cats that we are, have to learn to accept a little pain in order to help the rest of the world. Another frightening step Read through the Mustard report on Health Planning (if you can manage to get through the 77 -pages of fine printed pholosophising) and you're likely to begin to shiver at the plans of the Davis government for Ontario. It is just about as frightening as recalling the power of Hitler or watching Richard Nixon in operation. The report, one gets the impression, is one more step in the plan of the provincial government to take the power out of the hands of the people and concentrating it in the hands of a few beaurocrats and powerful politicians in Toronto. Not only will the jurisdiction of local medical needs be taken away from Huron county and delegated to a board that will cover 550,000 people and where large cities like London and St. Thomas are likely to swamp Huron, but the board will have fantastic powers. For instance, the board will virtually have the power to say where a doctor can and can't practice. The report doesn't delegate such power completely, but says that a doctor can settle where he pleases but will be denied O.H.I.P. payment privileges if he doesn't settle where the health board wishes...in other words, if the doctor likes to get paid, he'd better be a good boy. Obviously the Ontario government feels the people of Ontario are too stupid to run a decentralized democracy. Once again, as in education and regional goyernment, the Davis government is taking more and more power and it's costing us more and more money. There are so many innocent looking statements in the Mustard report that can mean so much power to the new district health boards that one wonders if we will be able to move without the health board's permission. Just as frightening as the contents of the report is the manner in which the government has tried to implement it. Copies of the report did not reach Huron county until early July. The government has set September 1 as the deadline for responses. Most area governments arc inactive during the summer months. Huron county council was not even scheduled to meet until September. No wonder Health Minister Frank Miller could say last week in Sarnia that he was surprised with opposition in the Lambton-Kent arca because he had heard no opposition in the rest of the province. Most people didn't even know there was a Mustard report. 1t is still a year before the people of Ontario get a chance to boot out Mr. Miller, Mr, Davis and the rest of the little gang of dictators in Toronto. Let's hope they'll take the chance this time when they have it, because four more years under the present government will likely mean we have very few rights left in Ontario. / , X "e d o u l St. Paul (Alberta) Journal What others say Some sad, some happy at loss of power plant Ontario Hydro's decision, an- nounced last Tuesday, that they will NOT be building a nuclear power plant somewhere in Huron County will be greeted with mixed feelings by those in the County. • For those persons who were buying land around the lake .for speculation so that they could make a big profit, the disappoint- ment will be great, especially for their bank accounts. The land can now be used again for its proper use, farming, at greatly reduced values, which would seem more sensible. Many others will also view it as a disappointment because the extra revenue that is paid to the contruction men and other associ- ated trades won't be corning into the area. On the other hand, the - announcement of no nuclear plant will be cheered by many, including those in the area who fought it because of its hazards to the environment. Many others in towns and villages will let out a sigh of relief now that the large influx of persons won't be corning into the area and disturbing traditional values held by the local citizenry. When the Bruce Nuclear Development came to Kincardine and surrounding areas, many manufacturing firms went under because they were unable to pay the same high wages enjoyed by those working at the Hydro plant. That burden too, has been lifted in Huron. Another factor that would have spelled trouble for municipalities in Huron was the cost of services, such as roads and sewer lines that would have to have been provided for the large influx of workers. In Bruce County, the Bruce Nuclear plant is going to result in a $24.5 million deficit for Kincardine, Southampton, Port Elgin, Kincardine Township and Tiverton. The deficits, according to a recent study carried on in Bruce, would be incurred by the provisions of additional water, sewage, and recreational facilities. Ontario Hydro has said they plan to locate the plant else- where, probably where there isn't as much opposition, not where it would cover up irreplacable farmland, in the heart of Ontario's food basket, The many who stood to gain by the Huron nuclear plant will be upset, no doubt, that the plant isn't coming here, but in the long run, its far better to leave Huron as a predominately agricultural region, than an industrial zone, with a massive suburb surround it. Clinton News•Record THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN The pegpie have spoken. in Canada's `fifth election in 10 years, the Liberals under the leadership of Prime Minister Trudeau were returned to office with an overall majority of 141 seats. As a result; if nothing else (barring some unforeseen contro- versy), we can look forward to four years of inactivity on the national hustings. Most of us like to think majority government is the best thing for the country. But when you come right down to it, minority governments have been the ones to respond to the needs of the common people -the middle in- come workers, the farmers, the elderly. These are still the people most needing help, especially during our present period of runaway inflation. Notwithstand- ing this fact however, Majority government was needed by Canada at this time in order to clear the air. It's high time we found out if Prime Minister Trudeau is really a man of the people or the ultra -conservative he showed himself to be in his first terms of office after the 1968 election. If the end results of a majority government are beneficial to the nation, the makeup of the new government is anything but. Whether we like it or not, politically we have a divided country. The opposition to the present government is almost solidly made up of western Canadians. We can laugh about our East-West conflict when it applies to something like a Grey Cup game. But when it pertains to the nation's business, it's no laughing matter. Western Canada undoubtedly feels neglected - the July 8 vote proves that. But at least as politically dangerous as this feeling of neglect will be the tendency of the western prov- inces, and of Alberta in particu• .lar, to wallow in the role of the underdog. It will take a good - even great • provincial leader to rise above the temptation of playing little David to Ottawa's Goliath. in the past Alberta's Peter Lougheed hasn't always been albe to resist such a temptation. If he can do .so this time round, then the Progressive Conservatives might do well to look to Canada's oil king as their next part leader.

Beans are a problem because of wet fields and as late i as last week some replanting was taking place.

London convention planned for August 1 The Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society has revealed plans for 85 district conventions of .Jehovah's Witnesses in the United States and Canada in 1974. Adam Hack; presiding minister of the Goderich congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, said there will be 74 assemblies for English-speaking delegates and 11 meetings in Spanish, French and Italian. A. Hack said approximately 100 delegates will represent the Goderich congregation at the convention scheduled for London, Ont., August 1 through 4. He added that 7,000 delegates were expected 'to attend the London convention set for the Grandstand, Western Fair Grounds. "Hundreds of thousands of persons are looking forward with eager anticipation to the series of 'Divine Purpose' District Assem- blies of Jehovah's Witnesses this summer, Adam Hack said. "The combined attendance is expected to reach nearly one million persons this year, Young and old, family groups and even the infirm will be there," he said. The highlight of the convention program will be the public discourse on the subject "Human Plans Failing as God's Purpose Succeeds." A baptism service will also be featured. Last year, 6,305 were baptized in Canada as Jehovah's Witnesses. This,-- represents 12 percent of the total Canadian membership in only one year.

THE BLYTH Blyth Swinging Seniors to Hamilton Wednesday morning, July 17, 31 Senior Swingers of Blyth complemented by eight residents of Auburn, Londesboro and Clinton, travelling by bus, swung into Hamilton ,Botanical Gardens where they toured the rock gardens and revelled in the picturesque setting and the myriad colourful blooms, After lunch on the grounds of Dundurn Castle, Hamilton they benefited from a guided tour of this restored palatial mansion built by Sir Allan MacNab, Prime Minister of the United Province of Canada in 1854. One of the many highlights was the wooden tea chest, the various compartments of which had to be kept locked to safeguard the precious expensive teas from the seven servants whose living quarters in the basement allowed them their own brewery for beer, much cheaper than tea. A tour of City Hall ensued. An explanation was given for the selection of Georgian marble rather than Queenston marble for the exterior of this fine edifice. The Council Chambers with its gallery for spectators were viewed. The visitors also enjoyed a view of the city and the mountain from the seventh floor gallery. From the Minister's Study BY TED HOOGSTEEN For many people, who have membership in the church, Christianity is a curse. They are the people who cry 'Lord, Lord!', but have no communion with the people of God in the church, and they refuse to take seriously, the 'body of Christ' which is the Church today. Christianity, in its fullness and power, comes to expression primarily in the community of Christian people, deeply so among the Christians who meet in worship. All who are not present when the church meets, other than for very limited and necessary reasons, make a mockery of Christ, and the Christian faith they profess. It is easy to claim membership in such and such a church, but everyone who refuses to attend whenever the church meets does not understand the depth of the Christian faith. For that matter, they are not listening either to the Scriptures, and the Christ who speaks in the Scriptures. Certainly, there is more to Christianity than worship. Service, too, the application of faith, hope, and love, is important, but worship, communal worship with the people of God, is an essential component, regardless of the apparent hypocrisy one may see or the personal dislikes one may have, The greatest hypocrites arc the people who absent themselves from the communion of Christ, regardless whether the church meets once or twice on a Sunday. All people, not even excluding the members of the churches, require renewal, the transforming power of Christ, in order to express greater obedience and love to the resurrected Christ, the Lord of life.

Waiting for you Members of the staff of the Huron County Pioneer Museum are waiting; to welcome more visitors from within the county. About 25,000 people visit the museum every year but the bulk of these are from outside the county. The guides include Pauline Wood, Cheryl Hoy, Barb Britnell and Brenda McClinchey along with Mrs. Friedel Nanz, assistant curator and Raymond Scotchmcr, curator. Museum officials want more visitors from Huron In a day when the rip-off is commonplace, the officials in charge of the Huron County Pioneer Museum are worried because they feel Huron County residents aren't getting their money's worth. Museum officials are worried because the number of people from the county who visit the museum each year is not as high as they think it ought to be. Officials say attendance at the museum is high, but most of the visitors are tourists. But the people of Huron, the people who pay the bills, aren't showing up. So, county officials have gone to work to try to convince more Huron county people to attend the museum. The campaign began Friday with a press tour of the old school -house turned museum on • North Street in Goderich. Any newsman who may have thought the Huron museum was small time had his ideas quickly dissolved as the tour went on, stretching over three hours. Above all, the museum is a tribute to the late Herb Neill, the native of Gorrie who was born in 1885 and was most directly responsible for the founding of museum. The museum actually began in 1939 when Mr. Neill showed a small millstone unearthed near Corrie and some other pieces at the Goderich Fair. During the following years he drove hundreds of miles to gather antiques and worked long hours to repair old pieces. One o1' the big features of the Museum is a number of working models built by Mr. Neill. Turn the crank, and you can see how an old flour mill worked. Turn the crank, and sec a water wheel in action. Mr. Neill built a trailer and under the sponsorship of local Women's Institute groups took his collection on tours to the local fairs, One trailer became too small so he built a second, then a third and finally joined them all together to form a single trailer 65 feet long. He didn't know, however, that under the law, he couldn't use a trailer that long on the highway. So it never got farther than his back yard. He first approached the county council in 1946 about the possibility of starting a museum. it was 1948 before they responded and bought 600 of his pieces with the understanding that this was to be increased to 1000. When the old Goderich central school became available in 1950 the museum was started. in the fall of 1950 Mr. Neill moved to Goderich and began preparing the museum. At first he lived in the museum building, but it proved unworkable and he offered to put $300 toward the purchase of a small house near the Museum but council prefer- red to put the money toward the purchase of a small log house in Bluevale. The log house was dismantled and moved to Goder- ich where it was rebuilt and Mr. Neill lived in it. The log house today is outfitted with period furniture and gives an insight into the way of life of a pioneer family. The museum officially opened on July 4, 1951. Since then there have been five new additions built on the building. Mr. Neill was made an honourary member of the museum section of the Ontario Historical Society on his 78th birthday in 1963, the first person ever to be honoured in that way. He was succeeded in 1964 by James Chisholm as curator and in 1969 Raymond Scotchmcr of Bayfield became curator. Mrs. Friedel Nanz was named assistant curator in 1966 and still holds the position. Between 22,000 and 25,000 people visit the museum every' year, most of them between April 1 and October 31 when the museum is open daily. During the winter, the museum is not open because of the cost of heating the huge building but special tours can be arranged by appointment. Two years ago a record was set when some 800 people packed through the building in one day. This summer the Ontario government has provided funds to hire three students to catalogue the more than 12,000 items in the museum, allowing curator Scotch - mer to breathe a sigh of relief. it would take his staff years to do the same job while still keeping up with the maintenance and repairs at the museum. The museum has several interest areas. There is a special section for old fire equipment, a section that explains the milling of flour, the cutting of lumber, the mining of salt. There's a room full of old farm machinery, from a huge steam tractor to threshing machines to old forks and sythes. One of the exhibits is what is believed to be the first gasoline tractor in Huron County built by none other than Mr. Neill himself. He mounted a seven horsepower Stickney engine on wheels and worked out a system to transmit the power from the engine to the wheels. This was done about 1913. The most noticable exhibit in the building is likely to be a music box built in 1860, the fore -runner of the iuke box. The music box originally operated on coins but now, through an ingenious hookup of belts and pulleys it is attached to an electric motor which fills the museum with its melodic sounds all day long. The largest piece in the museum undoubtedly No. 6275, the big steam railway engine that plied the C.P.R. through Blyth to Goderich until 1958. In 1959 it was brought to the site of the museum. Track had to be laid specially to the engine and it had to be winched into position since it was not allowed to move under its own power on the, makeshift track. Mr. Neill slept in the cab of county the train overnight when it was moved to make sure no one would steal the brass fittings., After it was moved the' building was built around it. This summer the engine, which saw most of its service in the dock yards at Goderich, is getting some tender loving care from Dave Hooten, a summer resident of the Bayfield area and a member of the Ontario Rail Association, a group of enthus- iasts who love the old steam trains. Mr. Hooten, on his own time, is stripping down many of the old brass fittings on the engine to restore it to its natural beauty. ih.a7:777N74'.7.77M..rv,'l. v.''`......

The group was divided on the matter, some of the opinion that the Board has a commitment to the artists and artisans of the County and the sale of their articles. Due to the fact that the blankets are commercially manufactured else- where and sold in Blyth the feeling was that their sale in the jail would not be in support of county artists. 'Total sales of, crafts in the jail to date have amounted to $200,00. The official opening proceed- ings have been left in the hands of the executive. The Ontario Wheat Producer's Marketing Board has set the 1974 price of seed wheat to seed dealers at $3.25 per bushel, In making the announcement, the marketing board emphasized that the price applies only to wheat sold by the board to domestic seed dealers.

Luxury on wheels - Public transportation can be uncrowded, clean and efficient, It can even be luxurious, This spring the U,S, govern- ment unwrapped a model of the "bus of the future," The sleek, soft -riding vehicle sported huge panoramic windows, which were three -feet high and ran the entire length of the bus, Doors were plenty wide enough to enter comfortably, and the floor was only 17 inches above the curb, half as high as in standard buses, making it faster and easier to board as well as less of a hassle for elderly and disable people, According to riders, the trip was quiet and soft, a bit bumpier than even -railed commuter trains but smooth enough to read newspapers and enjoy it, In addition to comfortable, upholstered seats, there was wall-to-wall carpeting. Not a bad way to go. Major companies submitted designs for the model, the first new bus design in this country in more than 15 years. I took three years and $26 million to finance the project. For one year, thc bus will be driven hard in the Arizona desert. And it will face the hazards of the ,big city too. Identical models will Abe sent to New York, Miami, Seattle, and Kansas City this summer, The buses, which won't • cost much more than current , models, probably won't be ready for thc boarding public until 1977, Hopes are that they will lure 'motorists away from their cars :and cut down air pollution. Car exhaust is the major 'contributor to polluted air. And limproved public transportation can help lick the pollution probelm. Decreasing the number Iof cars on the road --by organizing car pools or substituting bicycles whenever possible—is another way to attack the probelm HURON DEAD STOCK REMOVAL CLINTON We pick up all farm stock free of charge.

In 1949 the South Huron, Clinton Colwanash, Howick and North Huron Clubs felt a need for a county organization. Since the birth of the Huron County Junior Farmers, activities and projects among the various clubs have flourished. Their motto, "Self Help & Community Betterment", has always been the thought behind each project undertaken by Huron Junior Farmers. Even before the county organization was established the young people upheld these ideas. In an attempt to celebrate 25 years for the county organization, the Junior Farmers are planning to hold a Reunion and Dance to commemorate the occasion. The reunion will take the form of a Dance and Smorgasbord on July 26, 1974 in the Seaforth Arena. Past and present members interested in participating at this event are asked to contact Len MacGregor at the Agricultural Office in Clinton.• OLD MILL IN E3LYTH Factory O'ut le t Summer Specials SINCE '894.

BY BILL SMILEY Last week, faithful readers, if there are any left, followed the enthralling, if not appalling, account of my meteroic career in the financial world. I had suggested that I felt i was being caught in the middle of a great financial squeeze when someone offered to buy my Peel -Elder stock at $13 a share, 1 smelled something peculiar and promised I'd try to get to the bottome of it. I haven't, but I hate to part with those twenty-five shares of Peel -Elder. I've had them as long as I've had my wife. They are all that's left of my second and final savage attack on the stock market. My first was rather deflating, as 1 mentioned last week. But the second time around, Ididn't take any chances. It was only when a trusted stock -broker told me Eldridge Mines was going to be the hottest thing on the market, that I carefully bought 1,000 shares. They cost me $330. The broker was a former prisoner -of -war, so could be trusted implicity. The stock held firm, went up ab out five cents a share in a week, and this time there actually was a producing gold mine. I reckoned I was in Biscuit City, as we say in these parts. What nobody told me was that there was more money in gravel than there was in gold, in those days, and for many years to come. I should have bought a gravel pit. I have previously related how that 1,000 shares of Eldridge has shrunk to 25 shares of Peel -Elder, so 1 won't bore you, But I did learn one of the inevitable, or so it seems to me, laws of stocks. Every time a company gets bigger, 1 have fewer stocks. Eldridge expanded, became known as Elder, with a lot of new capital and great prospects in the offing. I was told that for nay 1,000 shares of that cheap little old Eldridge, 1 would get 120 shares of this tremendous new Elder. There was no money in gold mining, apparently, so Elder became Peel -Elder and got heavily into real estate. Assets increased, profits rose, and SMiley wound up with something like 12% shares of Peel -Elder. There was one halcyon period when Peel-Elderwent up to nior'c than $20 a share. I was tempted to sell. I could have come out only about $100 in the hole, after twenty years. Not bad, that. But hung in there. Then, about a year ago. Peel -Elder, with a flamboyant burst of something or other, informed me that, as a loyal shareholder, 1 could have two shares for every one 1 had, I don't remember the details. think you had to be a White Anglican with some teeth miss- ing,a bad back, and no more or less than two children, neither of them self-supporting. Something like that. Anyway, I qualified. That's how I wound up with 25 share of Peel -Elder. And now laong comes an impressive brochure from an outfit called ianibro Canada Limited with an uftcr to buy at $13 a 5harc. Iii i'-'bruary and March I could have 1. for about $14. t•taiiibro is a Canadian affiliate k: Hambros Ltd., a London, .t .nd, based international niv ':''7.ant banker, with a good many figures in a good many pies. Smiley knows when he's got a good thing I-Ianibro Canada Ltd. already owns almost 50 per cent of Peel -Elder, but wants to buy the rest. Most of the directors and officers of Peel -Elder are also directors and officers of Peel - Elder arc also directors or officers of Hambro Canada Linitied, Are you confused? Me too. It's pretty obviously a takeover of an established Canadian corporation by a British-based corporation, with somebody probably about to make a pot of bullion in the process. And here's something else that puzzles me, After thirty years of watching Peel -Elder grow from a sickly little gold mine into a husky corporation, and watching my share of the cake diminish from a small wedge to a crumb, 1 suddenly get two whacking great divident cheques from Peel - Elder. One for $2.94, the other for $1.50. Wouldn't you by wary when you'd not received a divident for three decades and suddenly got two in one mail? The offer to buy me out, from Hambro Canada Ltd., states rather sternly that the offer will expire July 23rd. If I accept the offer, 1 will receive $325. The stock cost me $330 thirty years ago, And 'i'rudeau would probably want a capital gains tax if 1 sold, Well, there we are. I started out in a quandary and I've ended in a quagmire. I wish I'd put that original $330 into a couple of beach lots which would now be worth $20,000. I wish I'd gone into pig farming. I wish I could win a sweepstake. However, that's the way it goes with us chaps who play market. We accept the fact that we're compulsive gamblers and take our losses with a stiff lower lip. But I won't sell that stock. Let then► fight it out, the corporate buns. Information sought Point Farms Hotel The Editor: De Ministry of' Natural Re- sources is currently researching Oh. history of the old Point Farris Hostel which w as located near Highway 21 just north of Gudcrich. Point Farms Hotel was the first st mmcr resort in Western Ontario and an important element in the social life and economy of Huron County during the late 19th century. We are hoping to incorporate the history of the hotel into thencw recreation - interpretive program being devel- How do we stand on farm labour? Today's large farms frequently require workers experienced in specialized farm operations. However finding suitable full- time help for these farms remains an important problem in Ontario, as reflected in the "Help Wanted" section of nearly every Ontario newspaper. The Agricultural Manpower Services of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) is involved in an intensive search, both local and abroad, to meet the demands for qualified, full-time farm workers. Operating under an agreement between the Canada Department of Manpower and Immigration and OMAF, the service focussed its attention until recently on the needs of Ontario's dairy farms, with some requests being filled for beef, swine, poultry and sheep workers. "Recently, however, we've received a number of requests from the nursery trade - flower, vegetable and tree - to find experienced help in these areas," says W.H, Clarkson, director of OMAF's Agricultural Manpower. Services Branch. on old oped at Point Farris Park. Since the hotel was destroyed in 1915, there are still many people in Huron County who renieniber visiting the hotel on picnics or family outings, who worked at the hotel, or %vho stayed there during their vaca- tions. We would very much like to talk- to anyone who might rcnicniber the hotel. We arc also interested in any old photos, letters, diary notations or other monientos wliicli might relate to people's activities at Point Farris. It is exciting and surprising to find memorabilia in attics or scrapbooks which might relate to local history, Any assistance that you would lend to this project would be appreciated, and we would ask you to contact Laura Malts at Point Farms Provincial Park, photic 524-7124. Yours truly, Dan Mansell District Manager The, present supply situation for experienced, (piffled and/or willing livestock herdsmen, nursery- and orchardnien is extremely tight. The scarcity of dairy herdsmen in Ontario, as well as the need for other livestock herdsmen, is aggravat- ing the situation, "Right now, we can place only about half of the requirements for dairy farms in the province," Mr. Clarkson states. "As a result, recruiting acceptable workers from abroad has been necessary to meet the demands." As a case in point, on his last trip to Holland and the United Kingdon, adver- tisements placed in local papers attracted a "large number of excellent applicants, with varying degrees of experience, and capable of filling some of the positions here". Agricultural Manpower Ser- vices' fieldmen and the farmer work closely together to choose the right applicant for each operation. The service visits farms requesting labor and attempts to match up the farmer's needs with the qualified help available. Requests for full-time farm labor should be directed to the local office of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food or directly to the Agricultural Manpower Services Branch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Pariianicrit Buildings, Toronto M7A 1A3. UNEVEN SURFACES Stopping is controlled by friction. When a vehicle is travelling over an uneven surface, tires spend part of the time off that surface, thus lessening the amount of friction and thereby increasing the stopping distance considerably in sonic instances, states the Ontario Safety League.

For someone with healthy lungs, it is difficult to imagine how life feels for a person with emphysema, But these comments from many different emphysema patients, which were published in a recent issue of the magazine, "Respiratory Care," describe the effects Of the disease in a grim, graphic way: • Emphysema is thinking the next breath won't be there, • Emphysema is feeling like I'm going to blow up from the inside. • Emphysema is not being able to sleep more than two and a half hours before 1 have to get up and clear my chest. • Emphysema is not being able to bend over and put your socks on. • Emphysema is going to my daughter's house for dinner and spending all day tomorrow in bed. • Emphysema is asking people come and see me because I'm lonely. Emphysema develops gradu- ally. Some of the first signs of the disease can be shortness of breath during only minor exer- tion. As the disease progresses, the air sacs of the lungs, where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged, rip and tear.

The 1 exuberent, flamboyant pair flee off to Paris that night to rekindle their lost flame, while contending with the wild protestations of their still -new spouses who follow in hot pursuit! James Murphy directs the firework action, The orginal 1930 West End; Production starred such theatrical luminaries as Gertrude Lawrence, as Amanda, Laurence Oliver as the competing suitor, Victor, and Mr. Coward as Elyot. Thom Hayes returns to the Playhouse from last year for the meaty role of the debonair Elyot and Ann de Villiers steps into the role of the bewitching, beguilling and bede- viled Amanda, following her acclaimed performance as the plain-jane Lizzie recently in the Playhouse production of THE RAINMAKER. As Victor, 23 -year-old Alex Pearse faces a second opportunity this season to play a part years senior to this actual age. In last week's Stage Door he drew much favourable comment for his portrayal of Frank, the elderly houseman. This talented former Ryerson theatre arts and Loyalist College student, in his first professional leading role, appears as a stiff upper -lip Englishman, rauther stuffy and staid• -a type Noel Coward loved to stairize.

Next Week: Bob Windsor stars in Neil Simon's super Broadway comedy hit, The Last of The Red Hot Lovers. Oranges like clockwork People who want to quit smoking can try oranges instead. A research psychologist at the Outspan Organization in Britain conducted an experiement with two groups of confirmed smokers. There was only one requirement. When they felt the urge to light up, the smokers would eat a piece of orange, preferably sucking the juice out first. After three weeks of controlled orange eating, the number of cigarettes smoked by the groups dropped an average of 74 percent. Twenty percent of one group quit smoking altogether. Dr. Edward Hernandez claims the evidence suggests that orange eating is a good substitute for cigarette smoking during the initial period of withdrawel. The effect of citris fruit, particularly oranges, on the palate is similar to the "bite" experience by smoking a cigarette, he says. There's another interesting fact about smoking and oranges. Smoking reduces the supply of vitamin C in the body, while oranges build it up. Some studies show the vitamin contributes to a feeling of well-being and also reduces the duration of colds. Dr. Hernandez, like every other expert in the field, says the basic requirements for quitting smok- ins is a strong wish to quit. Oranges are a technique, but the' determination to quit is essential for success. When that's there, people find their own way to quite.

Behind the scenes There's a new mood in -Huron BY KEITH ROULSTON Ontario Hydro officials must be shaking their heads this week. Hydro officials must be wondering about the people of Huron county. Here they were, all ready to drop a goodie like a massive Ontario Hydro atomic generating plant into Huron, and the people told them they didn't want the gift. It seems like only yesterday that the people a few miles north in Bruce county found out they were going to get the Douglas Point plant and every- body thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. But not in Huron. Hydro officials probably thought the people of Huron would welcome the plant just as Bruce people did a decade ago. After all Huron was still relatively undeveloped industrially. For years Huron had been pleading for more industry but had been unable to get it. Suddenly, here was Hydro offering thousands of high -pay jobs, and the people didn't want it anymore. For O.H. planners sitting in Toronto, it all must be something of a mystery. Many will likely put it all down as the local hicks being against progress. The strange thing is that if Hydro had tried to build the plant 10 years ago when they started Douglas Point, or even five years ago, they would likely have been welcomed. But times have changed and slowly, almost inperceptively, the people have changed. Partly, of course, the opposi- tion to the power plant was caused by the knowledge of the disruption caused by the Douglas Point plant in Bruce. But there is a more fundimental change in the nature of the people of Huron in the past five years or so, and that is a change in the definition of "progress" as far as the man in the street is concerned. Five years ago progress meant growth. Every council of every town wanted growth. Industry was looked on as the salvation of the area. People have been known to lie, cheat and break every rule in the book to get new industry. We all wanted to see the area grow, to be more like the big city. The slow change has seen people re-evaluate their ideas, however, and now growth for growth's sake is not so important. Five years ago we thought we were missing the boat. Now, after seeing the race riots in U.S. cities, the air pollution and overcrowding and high houseing prices in Canadian cities, the increase in crime in all cities, we aren't so sure we like cities after all. The emphasis on the ecology has helped the people of this area come to maturity. Now, instead of Ann Landers You can move mountains Dear Ann Landers: I read that"Recipe for Tragedy" and it is veay sad, indeed. However, L'd like to see my version in print --with a more realistic ending. 1. Take one reckless, inconsiderate damned fool. 2. Mix with a bottle of booze (any brand). 3. Add one high-powered car. 4. Soak fool in alcohol. Place in car and let him drive until the speedometer hits 80 miles an hour. 5. After the crash, remove the innocent victim from the mass of twisted steel. Place in satin -lined casket and garnish with flowers. 6. Slap the wrist of the drunken idiot who caused the accident and came out of it without a scratch, and say, "Naughty, naughty. Mustn't do that..." and watch him get off with a ridiculous fine of $100 and ten days in jail which he doesn't serve because the judge puts him on probation. 7. Repeat daily. This happened twice in two days in our county (population 68,000), and it makes me sick to think about it. Thanks for letting me sound off. --Upstate N.Y. Dear Upstate: Where are the indignant citizens of your community? Why don't you have a town hall meeting and let your legislators know that if they don't pass some decent laws and elect judges who will make them stick --out they go! If enough people feel as you do,. and if you can get them off their duffs, you can move mountains, mister. Dear Ann Landers: Recently my husband was elected to public office. I never realized until now how many things I didn't know about being the wife of a public official. No one has written a book on this subject (at least I can't find one in our local library), so I'm writing to ask for a few suggestions. I want him to be proud of me. Any suggestions? --Anonymous Woman Dear Woman: The best advice I know was offered by Eleanor Roosevelt, who was the wife of the President of the United States longer than any other woman in history. Mrs. Roosevelt said: "If your husband is in politics, try to do the following: Always be on time. Never make any personal engagements bdcause you will probably be forced to cancel at the last moment. When in a group, do as little talking as possible if your husband is present. If you are upset in public, don't let it show. Remember to lean back in a parade so the people can see your husband. Don't get too fat to ride three on the front seat." Dear Ann Landers: I'm a 15 -year-old girl who has been arguing about something with my mother for weeks and I'm sure your opinion would mean a lot. Is it O.K. for a girl to kiss her boyfriend goodbye before he gets on a high school bus? It so happens that he goes to another school, but we walk to the bus stop together. My mother says it's not respectable. I don't see anything wrong with it. What do you say? --Opposing Views Dear Opp: Where is he going? To join the Foreign Legion? Or will you be seeing him again that afternoon? Sorry, but I'm with your mother. A no-nonsense approach on how to deal with life's most difficult and most rewarding arrangement.

North Wabe h Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60611 bp feeling inferior, we arc seeing the good things of life in the arca. Instead of being ashamed of farming as many were in the days when industry was king, Huron county is finding new pride in supplying food for the world and has become concerned about saving farmland for farming rather than burrying it under new factories and atomic power plants. That's not to say that Huron county people are now anti- growth....just that people are much more choosey about the kind of growth they get. New industries and businesses that add to the good way of life of the community are welcomed but there isn't such a mad rush for growth that we'll let factories pollute streams or air, or take hundreds of acres of farmland out of production. Ontario Hydro planners and some growth -boosters may say this attitude is stopping progress in Huron, but actually this new self-awareness, this new matur- ity, is probably one of the most progressive things to happen in Huron since the conning of the railway. FOLLOW SMOKEY'S RULES BE sure to drown all fires. Breathing problems cause insomnia Counting sheep cures some kinds of insomnia. But sleepless nights can also be caused by unrecognized breathing problems. A sleep researcher at a University, said results of his three-year study of 300 patients indicated that as many as one in ten patients with sleep disorders may be suffereing from undetect- ed respiratory abnormalities. Difficulty in breathing among accidentally discovered less than two years ago by a collesague who 'noticed that some insomniac patients seemed to have stopped breathing before waking abruptly.' As a result, the Researcher began to monitor respiratory measures during sleep in a variety of patients with insomnia. In one tenth of his sample, which happened to be all-male, he found this pattern: shortly after the person falls asleep, his dia- phragm stops moving; then after 15 seconds to three minutes of breathing problems, he wakes up, breathes deeply, and falls asleep again. , Apparently this cycle repeats itself hundreds of times during the night. The interesting thing about the situation is that these patients report that sleeping pills make their insomnia worse, and their blood pressure rises sharply during sleep. "Since sleeping pills are respiratory. depressants, this becomes perfectly under- standable." The Researcher ad- vises other physicians not to prescribe sleeping pills to any patients with insomnia unless they first check out the possibility of a respiratory problem. To find out more about breathing problems, contact your Christmas Seal association. It's a matter of life and breath. Look out for bikes With the summer weather more bicycles arc on the road, says the Ontario Safety League. Traffic accidents take the lives of many bicycle riders every year and injure thousands of others in Canada. Many of these accidents involve a violation by the bike rider, but that doesn't excuse the driver. Be on the lookout for bicycle riders •• especially at dusk • and give them a break. ;ALI B.J.'s Clearance of Spring & Summer fabrics continues through this week.
