The Blyth Standard, 1974-09-04, Page 1BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 15 CENTS VOLUME 84 • NO. 35 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1974. Souvenir issue The Steamers are back Thousands of people will travel to Blyth this year as the 13th annual Blyth Thresher Reunion takes place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The show, sponsored by the Huron Three-day Thresher Weather permitting another huge crowd will pack into Blyth this weekend for the annual Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association Reunion. The Thresher Reunion is in its 13th year and has grown from a small show to one of the biggest attractions in Western Ontario. Each year the show has become a little bigger and each year the crowds have grown until more than 10,000 people can now be expected to pass through the gates during the three days of the show, The show will open on Friday and run all day Saturday and open at 1 p.m. on Sunday. Earl and Martha Heywood will help entertain the crowds and there will be an old time fiddler's contest and a step dance contest. Saturday and Sunday the popular Bradley Bunch singing family from Clinton Sidewalk sale starts Friday Myth Merchants will be taking their goods out of doors this weekend for their third annual sidewalk sale, pi 1 of the Thresher Reunion activities, Three years ago the merchants decided to become a part of the Thresher Reunion and held their first sidewalk sale, They've done it every year since then, offering bargains to natives and to visitors alike. As part of the downtown goings on there will be an art display featuring local artists, Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association will feature huge steam tractors, other old fanning equipment and many other displays. Reunion expects big will entertain with their lively Irish music. there will be two bands for entertain- ment with the Clinton Legion pipe band on Saturday and the Seaforth Community Band on Sunday. A horse pitching competition will be held Saturday and Sunday and there will be a ladies bazaar selling souveniers. But the big attraction as usual will be the old steam tractors and other old pieces of machinery, The lumbering giants be on parade each day at 3 p.m. and at other times can be seen huffing and wheezing while they drive a saw mill to show how lumber used to be cut or a threshing machine to show how grain was threshed, School enrollment up in Huron For the first time since its inception in 1969, Huron County board of education has registered an increased enrolment of 23 students at its 34 schools. On Tuesday 4,545 students enrolled in the county's five secondary schools, an increase of 104 from last year. Enrolment in the 24 elementary schools was down slightly from 8,101 last year to 8,015, There are 64 pupils enrolled in the county's five schools for the trainable retarded, an increase of five. crowds, The reunion is really a living museum where people can learn about what it was like to live in the years before modern conveniences became common. There will be a team of oxen and ancient harvesting machines, old pumps and old cars, big machines and tiny working models of machines. Enumeration starts next week Provincial enumerators will visit all households in Ontario during September to conduct the annual municipal enumera- tion, Revenue Minister Arthur Meen said today. "Annual municipal enumeration is quite different from the enumerations conducted in preparation for Federal and Provincial elections," Mr. Meen explained. "Special Voters' lists are required since eligibility to vote is different at the municipal level." The right to vote in Federal and Provincial elections is based upon citizen, ship, age and residency. The right to vote in a municipal election is more extensive since it allows a non-resident who is, at least 18 years old and a Canadian Citizen or British subject to vote, if that person owns or rents property in the municipality. The spouse of such a non-resident is also entitled to vote in that municipality. Telephone com pany wants rate .increase Maitland Teleservice Ltd., serving Brussels, Blyth and Auburn exchanges, has applied to the Ontario Telephone Service Commission for a general increase in telephone rates, If granted, the rates of an individual residence line in the Auburn exchange would go up by 60 cents a month, from $3.95 to $4.55. An individual business line would go from $6.70 to $7.70. In the Brussels and Blyth exchanges, the increase would be 65 cents a month for an individual residence line, from $4.25 to $4.90, An individual business line would go up from $7.65 to $8.80, The company has also filed for increases in supplementary rates, service charges and other rate items. G.H. Newton, president of Maitland Teleservices, said the step was taken because of rising costs in every phase of telephone activity. As an example, he said taxes paid to the municipalities have increased about 150 per cent in the past two years. Large sums of money must be spent in the future to meet the growing service needs of customers, Mr. Newton said. Letters detailing proposed changes in telephone rates have been mailed to all subscribers of Maitland Teleservices Ltd. A date for the hearing has not been set. PG. 2 THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 4, 1974 School's in Bikes, bikes and more bikes were lined up outside Blyth Public School on Tuesday as another school year began. Enrollment in Huron county is up this year for the first time in five years. This 'n' That All set for Another big Thresher Reunion is set to start on Friday, Over the years a lot of people have seen Blyth for the first time because of the Thresher Reunion. The excellent show they saw probably made them leave with a favourable impression. But how much have the rest of us done to make SURE that impression would be good, Let's everyone work this weekend to give people a good impression of Blyth by being friendly and courteous and good hosts, ***** Another newspaper has joined the list of those uppping their subscription rates. The Huron Expositor in Sea - forth announced last week an increase in its subscription rate to $10 per year. The newspaper went to $8 per year two years ago Threshers and $9,00 last year. The publisher of the paper, A.Y. McLean pointed to two printing costs increases at the central printing plant where all arca newspapers are printed as the reason for the increase, Newsprint increases of over 20 percent in the past year and increased cost of ink, film, chemicals and other input costs have caused the increased print- ing charges. Mr. and Mrs, Ross Wilson of London visited with their parents Mr. and Mrs. Jack Wilson and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Walden on Sunday. Christa and Jim Walden of Westfield spent Monday with 'their grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Walden, Blyth. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *'* *-* * * * * * * * * *..* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BUSINESS DIECTORY REID & PETERSON Chartered Accountants 218 JOSEPHINE ST.

PG. 4 THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 4, 1974 Editorial Crackpot publicity for great crackup The biggest news story in Canada in the past few weeks seems to be the destruction of nine million eggs by the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency in Quebec. if you'll pardon the pun it seems the sorry isn't all it's cracked up to be. The eggs, held in storage by the agency because of low prices, spoiled because the warehouse where they were kept was not cooled properly. The big city dailies and consumer groups have been having a field -day with the story. They've wanted to pin something on the farmer for a long time over high food costs but just haven't had a chance. But the egg story was 100 good an opportunity to resist. The farmers are accused of letting food spoil in order to artificially inflate prices. Not only that, they are accused of throwing food away when millions around the world are going hungry. But let's put the whole thing in perspective shall we? Nine million is a nice round figure that sounds very important. Yet there are 23 million people in Canada. It's safe to say nine million eggs are less than the consumption of eggs for a single day in Canada. Certainly it is a shame to see food destroyed while people abroad go hungry, but this is really a drop in the bucket to what is needed. And besides there is no proper system set up yet to turn Canadian surpluses, whether in eggs of grain or meat, into supplies for hungry nations. There should be such a system, but it isn't the farmers' fault that there isn't. If city consumers are so worried about the starving people abroad then they should pressure the government to set up a system of buying surplus products and distributing them abroad. Yet they don't The embrionic marketing agency certainly has had its problems but what the fuss is really about is that the consumer wants a return to the good old days when she got food at bargain basement prices while the farmer went broke. Well, we can't feel too sorry for you ladies. You've been putting the boots to the farmer for a long time. If he's giving it back to you now then it's just what you deserve. We need a happy medium Every other day, it seems, we hear someone from Toronto or Montreal or some other big city say that riding sizes give unfair advantage to rural voters. People in ridings like Scarboro in Toronto argue that it's unfair' that they have 100,000 voters in their riding while a rural riding may have only 50,000 voters. The rural voter, they say, has a vote that's worth twice as much as theirs. Certianly they have a point, but the solution that most have argued for in the past is not a valid solution. As urban riding grew more populous, political scientists and urban politicians have argued that the same political pie should be cut differently. Under this philosophy rural ridings have become larger in area and fewer in number in order to give more ridings to the cities. But somewhere there has to be a limit. Somewhere there has to be a saw -off between population and area. The latest proposals for redistribution of the Huron and Huron -Bruce ridings, for example, would enlarge the riding to such an extent that a member of Parliament would practically need his own aircraft to properly service his constituents. Is it any fairer to a rural voter to have an M.P.P. he'll never be able to see because of distance that it is to the city voter to have a heavily popul.::ed riding? The only an• wer seems to be to add more seats to the legislature as the population increases. If the city population increases. give it more seats, but don't rob the country and more. U.S. must prove all men are equal Talk continues in the United States about giving a pardon to former president Richard Nixon. It's a short term solution that could cause long term harm. Certainly the idea of a former president being put on trial on criminal trial and worse yet convicted and sent to prison holds little appeal to most Americans. It is understandable that Americans, now that they have finally gotten the Watergate affair out of the way, would not like to put it back in the news again. Yet the consequences of not letting the judicial system be followed to its logical conclusion are too dangerous in the long run to be ignored. Let's not forget that it was Richard Nixon who used "law and order" to propel himself into a second presidential term with the biggest majority in U.S. history. It is the same man who "got tough" on student demonstrators, draft resisters and deserters who now whimpers "do they want to pick the carcus?" If Nixon had shown the sante sympathy to those the demonstrators at Kent State or the Chicago Seven one could be more inclined to bend the law for him. If the U.S. judicial system was willing to show the sank leniency to a poor black man from one of the ghettos who robs a licquor store to get money to feed his family that it now wants to ;chow to Nixon, then the move might be right. But you know that this new mood of "he's suffered enough already" will not be extended to people who are driven to crime by a lifetime of poor living conditions in the slums. It will only apply to Nixon. And it will reinforce the idea of the poor people in the U.S that punishment all depends on who you are. If you're a Nixon or an Agnew you get off scott free. If you're a poor man, you're sentenced to limit. There has to be one law for everyone or a nation can't work. If the . evidence warrants it, Nixon must be brought to trial. Perhaps the evidence doesn't warrant it, Perhaps he would be found innocent if he is tried. No matter. The law must be applied evenly to all, including Richard Nixon, or the phrase from the Declaration of Independence "We hold these truth self-evident, that all mean are created equal..." is a hollow one. jail attendance shows As of Wednesday morning last week, 6,562 persons have toured the former Huron County Jail since its opening at the first of July. To say the project has been successful would be a bit of an understatement. it would be appropriate, perhaps, to note that this experiement has proved to be a worthwhile, important addition to Huron County's total develop- ment. After Labor Day Weekend, the jail will be open only on Saturdays and Sundays from noon until 5 The old pump Letter to the editor The editor, May I appeal to your readers to support the International Society for the Protection of Animals in their attempts to provide relict' for the tens of thousands of abandon- ed, stray and injured animals in Cyprus. Many of these animals are in pitiful condition, all require assistance, 1 do not wish to suggest, for one moment, that animals in this tragic situation should be given priority over human needs. In fact I hope that the matter will be kept in proper perspective. Nevertheless the need is urgent and, by helping to solve the animal problems, we nay be playing a small part in helping the situation in . Cyprus return to normal. The Ontario Humane Society, which is a member of the International Society for the Protection of Animals, has been asked to provide assistance itt the forst of drugs and veterinary • 2,091 FOREST FIRES IN CANADA DURING JULY The Canadian Forestry Service recorded 2,091 forest fires in Canada during the month of July, affecting some 1,422,000 acres of the country's s Y forest land, supplies.

Hughes Executive Vice -President its worth pant. It will remain open weekends just as Tong as interest remains alive. Groups, according to coordinator Harry Bosnel1, can make an appointment to tour the jail through the week. Next suntnier though, the jail will reopen -bigger and better with more for everyone, Early winter will sec a series of idea meetings under the direction of the board, and the late winter and early spring of 1975 will hopefully produce some planning and action. That's exciting. It would be remiss to allow the summer season to close without this newspaper expressing a hugh thankyou to the dedicated people who made the jail project work. As readers will recall, The Godcrich Signal -Star was highly supportive of the jail project but it took real thinking and working men and women to make it reality. Many of these people have given nearly their entire summer to the jail and will undoubtedly be giving more of their time this winter and next spring and summer. A special thanks goes to the young volunteers - Goderich and area's back for the devotion they have shown to the project, The staff from the tourist booth who had a working agreement with the jail board, are also to be commended, Sonic even worked as voluntccrs after their regular shifts. All these young people senumed to instinctively sense the community's need for their assistance and they did not let the community down. it has bccn a good summer - a good year. Everyone looks for- ward to 1975 with high expectations. •Goderich Signal -Star MISTAKES Scc a mistake on this page? Don't gloat. There arc no fewer than 4,367,428 chances of making a typographical error on each newspaper page, according to an article in the Canadian Printer and Publisher. With those kind of odds it is a wonder there aren't more grem- lins to disrupt the type each week, Certainly there are enough around to upset the staff of this journal. There are few occupations with such formidable odds against achieving a perfect result. There are also few occupations where errors are exposed to public view with such regularity. The wonder is there aren't more errs and a few nervous breakdowns to accompany them. The article also points out there arc over 5,000 Hien and women engaged in producing weekly newspapers in Canada which are read by well over half the nation's total population. During a recent year these same weeklies carried some $12,999,000 worth of advertising - presumably, most of it error -free, 'i'hese figures point out the fact of the importance of the weekly press and despite the chances of error, the growing number of advertisers who realize it. -Brussels Post standard KEITH & JILL ROULSTON Co•Publishers Published every Wednesday at Queen St., Blyth, Ontario.

STRONG "Where the tilled earth, with all its fields set free, Naked and yellow from the harvest lies; By many a loft and busy granary The hum and tumult of the threshers rise." Threshing today is almost a forgotten event in rural Ontario. Modern machines have reduced hand labour once so necessary al threshing -time when neighbours tissued in the process in return for reciprocal favours. Ancient Egyptians and Israel- ites threshed grain by spreading the loosened. sheaves upon a circularpiece of flat, elevated ground and had the lumbering ox with cloven hooves tread out the grain," Gideon threshed wheat by the win -process." The process continued until the grain was well shelled out of the heads at which time the straw was carefully shaken and removed. The residue of grain and chaff was fanned naturally by gusty breezes there- by separating the grain from its impurities. Change was in the air. We read in Isaiah 41:15, "1 shall make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth." Doubt- less this had reference to the threshing sledge, a wooden frame work with deeply grooved base often weighted with stones which was drawn over the sheaves by the patient ox. Later, apparently, iron pegs were inserted. In Anios 1:3 it is recorded, "They have threshed with threshing instru- ments of iron." Probably one of the primitive threshing equipment pieces was the flail, still in use in the Western World until late in the last century. This farm hand - implement 'consisted of two pieces of wood, the handstaff or helve and the beater held together at one end by a thong. The former was usually made from light wood about five feet in length, and latter thicker than the helve, more cylindrical and some three feet in length, and The helve was held in both hands of the workman while the beater swung loosely down upon a heap of loosened sheaves. Under repeated beatings the grain eventually separated from the head. The straw was forked aside and the remaining mixture tossed in the air and the loose chaff blow away. "For the (itches are not thresed with a threshing instru- ment, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cunimin, but the filches are beaten with a staff and the cunimin with a rod." Isaiah 28-27. WINNOWING Winnowing was one of the most picturesque aspects of old Pales- tinian farm ways which has survived and the principle inte- grated into the fanning mill and modern threshing machines. "Behold he winnoweth barley tonight in the threshing floor." Ruth 3L2. "The oxen shall eat Women donate crafts Three enterprising Seaforth area women raised some money to,hclp restore the Van Egmond House and had fun doing it with a booth at the Clinton Craft Festival - Pot Pourri, Mrs. Dorothy Williams, RR 4, Clinton, Betty Cardno and daugh- ter Jayne of Seaforth sold flowers they made from bits and odds and ends of material. All the money raised at their booth will be donated to the Van Egmond Foundation. The women plan to rent a booth at the Seaforth Fall Fair and again donate their time and the proceeds from the crafts they sell to the Van Egmond House, provender which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan," Isaiah 30:24. Our great grandfathers well remember the advent of horse• power which delivered energy to the crude separator embodying many features derived from so-called primitive society's work• ing tools. 13y means of revolving gears, extended shaft, pulleys and belts the power generated was transferred to the various units within the machine proper. Although sonic knowledge of stearal power was known prior to the Christian era, nothing of material interest resulted in the succeeding centuries, Not until I763 was the riddle solved. James Watt while observing the action of stcani originating from the boiling water in a tea -kettle which caused the lid to rise and fall alternately hit upon an idea, He devised a stcani engine for condensing stcani in a separate unit to drive a cylinder some distance removed baseing his invention of the expansion theory. From that simple exper'inient many improvements and retine- nients have been wrought in the construction of steam engines and applied in all phases of industrial and coniniercial enterprises, 'these skilfully created niacliines were used extensively in factor- ies, in locomotives and in ocean liners prior to the introduction of electricity and diesel fuel. •The Huron Expositor Westfield and area news 13Y MRS.

Well, if you said housework's a headache, you're probably right. But there's another, more serious, link: they're the two commonest causes of accidental poisonings in the home. In fact, drugs and household chemicals are each responsible for nearly half of all home poisonings - and children are far and away the most susceptible. Latest available statistics show that youngsters are especially' vulnerable: nine times as many cases of accidental poisoning occur in the one to four age group than in the second most affected age bracket - five to 14. Obviously, the sensible precau- tion is to keep potentially harmful items out of children's reach, and preferably under lock and ,key. Another precautionary measure is to ensure that the phone number of your local poison control centre is listed with other emergency numbers somewhere near the phone. If there is no poison control centre in your locality, your family doctors is the best person to ask - in advance - where you should call in an emergency. But what do you do if you suspect that a child may have swallowed potentially dangerous amounts of drugs or household products? The immediate thing, accord- ing to a Ministry of Health spokesman, is to stay calm: try to determine what's been swallowed - and how much, 'fake the container with you when going for treatment - it will facilitate quick identification of what the victim swallowed from it, A natural reaction, if you suspect someone's eaten or drunk a harmful substance, is to induce vomiting. This should be done in case of drugs - but never in the case of ingested objects (such as pins and thumb tacks), or household cleaners, The cleaners, especially the corroxive or petrol- eum-based ones, may do much more harm on the way up than they did on the way down, THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 4, 1974. PG. 13 London football fans just can't win Sports fan from London and Western Ontario must be wondering just how you can win if they listen to any of the big city radio stations or read the Toronto newspapers, The situation arose over Monday's World Football League game held in London between the inept Portland Storm and the ridiculous Detroit Wheels. Saturday's Toronto Globe and Mail featured a pitch by acid -tongued sports columnist Dick Beddoes who said London was such a hicktown that the hayseed fell out of ones coat labels when he stayed in a local hotel. A good turnout for the battle of the losers of the W.F.L. would indicate what a bunch of rubes the London locals were, he said, When people showed their disinterest by not showing for the game (all but about 3000 suckers) one could expect praise from Beddoes. Indeed Tuesday he complimented the Londoners for their good taste. Meanwhile, however, other Toronto media were indicating that the poor showing for the game only indicated that London was too much a hicktown to support the Canadian Football League team they had tried to get earlier this year. So how do you win? • The reaction in Toronto to the W.F.L. is very interesting. When it looked like Toronto was going to have a W.F.L. team Davidson's group was regarded as the really big time and the old C.F.L. as small fry (except by Beddoes who never took the W.F.L. or the W.H.A. either, seriously). When Lolande was kicking the Toronto Northmen all the way to Memphis the Toronto press was indignant that they should be deprived of really big time football. But since it became certain that Toronto wouldn't have a W.F.L. team the attitude has changed. Now the W.F.L. is ridiculed and dispised by the Toronto sports writers and broadcasters. Here's one football fan that would still rather see a C.F.L. team come to London than a World team, but one that would also like to sec a W.F.L. team do well in London just to put the Toronto sportswriters and the powers that be in the C.F.L. in their place. London and Western Ontario, including fans in this area got shafted by the C.F.L. and it would be great to see them give some back. Environment Ontario goes local. 6 new regional offices to serve individual communities better. In a province the size of ours, it can take two days just to drive from one end to the other. It's that big, it's that spread out. And looking after the environment for such a vast area is one of the most complex tasks that the Ontario Government has. For years, we've been working from Toronto, working at long dis- tances from many of you. That's all changed now. The Min- istry of the Environment has come to you. Environmental matters are now being looked after in six Regional Offices through- out the province. There are also 23 district offices to help keep a closer eye on environ- mental services—air, land and water. Each region has a Director, someone whose only job Is to care for the environmental needs of that specific "piece" of Ontario. The Regional Office for Southwestern Ontario, which encom- A Doug McTavish passes the counties of Grey, Bruce, Huron, Perth, Oxford, Middlesex, Elgin, Lambton, Kent and Essex is in London. The Director in charge is Mr. D. A. McTavish. District offices are already established in Owen Sound, Sarnia and Windsor. Doug McTavish is a profes- sional engineer who has had many years experience working in environmental management. He's familiarizing himself with the environmental needs of the Southwestern Region—as part of Ontario's new policy to place environmental control closer to the source. .'• d �Itdu111"',f ��,..,��.•.,� wee, ,+; :h .1 Udlq The New Ontario Ministry of the Environment Ontario Minister.

Brenda Moore of RR 4, Goderich, won the Huron contest over foul' other contestants at the Huron County Pork Producers barbecue Thursday night in Seaforth. Miss Moore, who attends George Brown College in Toronto was crowned by last years winner, Debbie Riddell of Dashwood, In second place was Cheryl Webster of RR I, Varna. Other contestants were Margaret Van Dyke oI' RR 4, Seaforth; Yvonne Bean (I' RR 1, Auburn and 'Teresa Ondrejicka of Exeter. About 1,450 persons attended and ate more than 1,260 pounds of pork. All runner ups were presented witli a cheque. Mr. Alfred Warner, chairman of the event, said that the first barbequc, held in 1971 drew 350 people, followed the next year with an attendance oi' 550. The third year it was 1100 and now, with 1500 it is reaching the limit of people that can he accomodated in one night.

HOLSTEIN SHOW DECLINES IN NUMBERS ROBERT FLETT EXHIBITS GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE The C.N.E. Holstein show, judged August 28th in Toronto by Wm. Grieve, Dorchester, Ontario, languished both in number of cattle shown and spectator interest this year. Eighty -tour head shown by 30 exhibitors compared to last year's disappointing 99 head and 35 exhibitors. However, C.N.E. Director Jack Fraser, Streetsville, (also a well-known Hostein breeder) expressed optimism, stating that interest will build again in future years. T, Robert Flett, Oshawa, enjoyed a good day as he won the Grand Champion Female banner with his first prize four-year-old, 'I'heynor Hagen Cindy. Cindy, who exhibits an outstanding udder, was termed as sharper and cleaner than first prize aged cow Roselac Nugget Jennie, owned by Oak Ridges Farms Ltd., Oak Ridges. Jennie, who was Reserve Grand Champion, also had a good udder and had more plumb teats than the second prize aged cow, Oak Ridges Kota M, also owned by Oak Ridges Farms Ltd. A torrid race for Premier Breeder and Exhibitor honours developed during the show. The eventual winner for both was Spring Farms, but Oak Ridges Farms Ltd. trailed by only one point for Premier Breeder. International Farms; Bolton, was a scant two points back in the same division, However, International was the closest competitor for Premier Exhibitor, trailing by a small margin of five points. FEEDER SALE TIME At this time when the consumer continues to think about and eat barbequed steak and hamburgers, the cow -calf operators begin to think about selling their weaned calves. Members of the various livestock associations involved in the Norther Stocker and Feeder Sales are also talking about, and making plans for their Feeder Sales. To assist buyers of feeder cattle stake the best use of the Northern Feeder Sales, the Co-ordinating Committee has spaced their sales over a reasonably long period of time, You will note the first Sale will be held at Wiarton on Thursday, September 5, and the last Sale is at Manitoulin on Monday, October 21. All Sale committees continue to improve their sale facilities. Thessalon, now along the South River, New Liskeard and Ville Marie, have covered stock pens and sale rings and all others have, at least, a covered sale ring or stands. More important, Northern Beef producers are continuing to improve their stock through the use of A,I. or Performance Tested Sires. With the many showers this summer,, Northern Ontario pastures were and are excellent and cattle are in very good condition. The Grey -Bruce Livestock Co -Operative will have larger sales than had been expected in that they have 3400 head consigned for evil of the first two Sales.

"Many cattle have been killed by an electrical charge when lightning struck one part of an ungrounded or improperly grounded fence," states W.K, Bilanski, of the School of Engineering. He recommends that the grounding electrodes be either a standard galvanized steel post or a 3/4 -inch galvanized steel pipe. To be effective, these must be driven into the ground to a minimum of three feet, Spacing is also important, since lightning can travel a considerable distance through fence wire. According to the standards of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, all fence wires should be securely fastened with galvanized wire tics to the grounding electrodes. The distance between each electrode should not be more than 150 feet for normally dry, rocky soils and not more than 300 feet for normally moist or damp soils, "An advantage of fences built with metal posts set in the ground is that they are as safe from lightning as it is practical to make fences, provided the continuity is broke," the engineer says. Breaking the continuity prevents the electrical current from traveling through long sections of fencing. l -lc suggests that farmers insert a 'tucks gate, wooden panel sections or other material with similar insulating and mechanical strength properties into the fence line at maximum intervals of 1,000 feet, Further information on grounding procedures and assistance in determining your fencing requirements is available through the extension agricultural engineers located at county and district offices of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Hostess candidates The judges had quite a selection to choose from when they chose the Huron County Pork Hostess at the Pork Barbecue in Seaforth last week.

'l'hc horse, owned by Arnold and Roni Zonnevcld, was pur- chased last fall and this summer is the first full season of showing by the Goderich owners and they arc more than satisfied with his performance. The Senator was ridden this summer by Susan Desmond, an 18 -year-old native of England who is staying for the summer with the Zonnevelds and working with their horses, Susan is an experienced rider working with hunters and dress- age horses in England, but prior to her visit to Goderich she had acquired tittle experience with Saddlebreds, She began working closely with Roni 'Zonnevcld and the Senator and has ridden the horse in shows against tough competition and placed consist- ently in the top three, The St. Catharines show, one of the Rothmans series, drew a large field and Susan and the Senator won a third and three fourthes for the day. She won first place honors at shows in Woodstock and Aylmer and won a thrid and a sixth at the CNE. on one of the many other camp activites, A large portion of the week's program i' devoted to "personal" leadership :levclopmcnt through a series of Liscussions and group experiences.

HEMSTOR GRAIN PRESERVATIVE CUTS FEED GRAIN COSTS Enquire Re Supply At Belgrave District Co-op Phone 528-3024 Bill Smiley BY BILL SMILEY Perhaps I sounded a bit grumpy last week because this Inas been one of those summers whin a chap feels that he hasn't done anything, seen anything, or bccn anywhere. And it has. But that is not to say that it has been without interest and inci- dent. Last week, I whined about our scantly social life: one funeral, one wedding. However, we've had some very interesting visitors. Almost every clay. Roofers, painters, a column- ist, a student, a syndicatenu►n, a physiotherapist, and • the most interesting of all • my grandbabby. And I reckon I've learned a wee bit about human nature in the process. Perhaps that's what it's all about. I like physical nature as well as the next man, but I and fascinated by human nature. Physical nature is interesting and fairly predictable, You plant a seed properly, nurture it, give it plenty of fertilizer, the right amount of sun and water, pluck out the weeds around it, and you wind up with a dandy cucumber or turnip, or whatever you planted. But you can't do that with humans, though you try. Maybe we give them too Hutch fertilizer, or don't pluck the weeds. We plant what we think is going to be a rose, and it turns out to be a cabbage. Or vice versa. Any parent knows this. I3y the way, don't get excited, or nervous. This is not 0 tract on Freudian sexual symbolism. It is merely a middle-aged man trying to express his astonishment at the vcricgation of the human species. Once again, I drift into one of those remote channels that end up in a swamp. Why not stock to the plain stream? Back to our Traffic sarety news Last year in Ontar o 94 children were killed and 12,000 injured in traffic accidents.... 95 of the children were pedestrians, 36 were riding bicycles and others were in motor vehicles. In annoucing these figures, Minister of Transportation and Communications John R. Rhodes reminded all motorists that the opening of a new school year presents particular hazards. "The first clays back at school are in exciting time for young- sters," Mr. Rhodes warned. "'They often become forgetful about the traffic safety rules. Thus, all motorists must be constantly alert when driving in school areas. They must take extra caution where there are parked cas, school crossing zones or playground areas. "In rural districts, adult drivers must be very cautious when they see a yellow school bus, II' the bus is stopped with red signal lights (lashing it means children are getting on or off the bus. The onus k on all drivers to see that children cross the -road safely.'.' Parents nittst help too, Mr. Rhodes added, "Check the route your children have to follow t(get to school and discuss any particular hazards with them. And find out what they arc learning about traffic safety at school so you can reinforce these messages at home. Let's all do our best to make sure that a child's forgetful moment does not result in 0 tragedy.,' Our social life gets warmed up summer visitors. 'There are two categories: those who caught us al honk, and those who did not. Those in the latter category can11' around when we were out doing something exotic, like shopping, Or at night, when we were cringing in the TV room, lights out, door's locked, phone off the hook, arguing about whether we'd watch the John Wayne 1040 western or the Audrey Hepburn 1953 dazzler. Among these were two people who left notes. One was Doris Humphries, a lively columnist in the Renfrew Mercury. "Darn you, 13i11 Smiley. I came all the way from Renfrew ". Sorry, Doris. I'll buy you a dinner next lime. I read your column every week in one of Canada's best weeklies. And remind your boss that he still owes ole a dinner. (lie was a terrified infantryman when I was a terrified 'Iyphoon pilot.) Another note ttas from a student. Sharp mind, headed for university and law; Beware, you lawyers of five years from now. Don't fool with this young lady?, punk?, woman?, person?. She'll murder you. 'Typically wi:h the deep respect my students have for nuc, her note began, "Hi, Smiley, I came around and you didn't have the decency to be at hone....". A few of the visitors caught us at home. One was Bill Craig, of Argyle Syndicate, who has more to do with getting out this column than anyone except me. Our previous acquaintance had been on the phone. I expected a snlart•alcc young punk of about twenty•six witht he big sideburns, the big pants, and the hearty manner. I was shattered. He and his wife Betty arrived for that notorious pre -dinner appetizer. They have an eighteen -year-old daughter and a sweet, slay little son. James, who is live. Bill is a Korean war veteran. Ile de- molished me at Iwo games of chess, and played a fair piano. So much for preconceptions, Some oI' the others who caught us in were the painters and the roofers, When dye were up at the crack of dawn, ready for any questions, they didn't dotty 11p. When we were up al the crack of noon, not expecting them, they were buzzing the doorbell at 8:30, like hornets, I report, not happily, but just as an observer, that they were all stung sevcrly by a number of hornets in our roof and environs. Then there was the Scots- man. He is a physiotherapist. Boy, that's a hard word to spell, He wanted work, after hours, so he could by a house. I was rather intrigued by the idea that a young elan actually wanted to work. And then there was my bad back, which conies in handy very often. He's an excellent gardener, and our place looks better than it has in a decade.

Small towns: if you've seen one you've seen them all. That's one clichet used in the city and it pretty well describes the way most city people look at small towns. But the definition of small -towns differs according to the size of the city the observer happens to live in. 'Torontoians consider London a hick town and even Hamilton is hardly worth the status of a city. Londoners call Sarnia or Guelph a small town and these centres themselves proud cities and point to Stratford as a small town. Stratford points to Goderich which in its pride thinks it is a big town (though granted not a city), and point to Clinton and Wingham as small towns. Citi- zens of these towns then look down their noses at Blyth and say there is an example of a small town. And no doubt some residents of Blyth think of Auburn or Londesboro when they think of a small town. It's all in how you look at it. But the sameness of small towns is what most city people talk about. The boredom of it all. Actually, i've been fascinated over the years at just how different one small town is from another. Two small towns or villages can be only a few miles apart and yet be as different as night and day. Towns, like people, develop their own person- ality and it's fascinating to try to figure out what makes them as they are. City people think one town look alike another if it doesn't have a sky -scraper and highrise apart- ments yet it's precisely the predominance of sky -scrapers and high-rise appartments that makes one city look like any other city these days. The colour of the sky -scrapers may be a little different and they may be higher in one city than another, but really once you've seen one you have seen them all. The architecture of small towns on the other hand is often more interesting, if you take the time to look. Nothing is likely to draw a great deal of attention like a 50 -storey building, but it's really much more interesting than the steel and glass towers. Some towns indeed have gone to steel and glass, while others have preserved their old architecture whether the stone of the late 18th century and early 19th century in the Kingston area of eastern Ontario or the early clapboard or the Georgian brick or the old Edwarian houses with their towers and gingerbread. There is a great deal of variety to be seen as in Blyth where one can walk along King Street and sec all new, modern houses, then walk one block to Dinsley and see some of the finest old houses anywhere. City people joke about rolling up the streets at nine o'clock at night in small -towns. Most residents of main street in Blyth wish they did. We've had city relatives visit us and find it hard to sleep because of the noise. Oh sure we don't have 75 bars on main street (one seems sufficient) or 15 massage parlours or 10 porno book stores or even a single all-night dirty movie house, but somehow I don't think it has shrivelled our quality of life. Sure 1'd like to sec some changes in Blyth that would stake living here more enjoyable: like the opening of Memorial Hall Theatre and having it in use providing entertainment for local residents; like more exposure for local artists and craftsmen; like a special restaurant that serves food with a special touch for those special occasions when you have something to celebrate; like more entertainment for the young people such as perhaps, a weekend coffee house carefully administered; .like perhaps even sometime a small movie house. Sure there arc many improve- ments we could stake to make our town more lively. But on the other hand we have a few advantages such as the fact that women can still walk the streets at night in our towns without being afraid of rape. There is no fear of being mugged. And unless your feet are tired you don't have to worry about a transit strike. o B A AB WE NEED ALL TYPES BE A REGULAR BLOOD DONOR Stewart's Red 11 White Food Mkt. BLYTH, ONT.

No, it's only a modern portable toilet for the Thresher Reunion this week- end. It should prove quite a contrast to the old farm machinery. hand to help him field questions from the farmers. Several farriers suggested Hydro was being insincere in its promises of a new deal for property owners, Bruce Nunn, a farmer fro nearby Wallace Township, said, "I still don't believe you, We've heard this kind of talk for years and years. Why should we believe you now?" McKillop farmer Mervyn Agar adopted a "show -mc" attitude by demanding that Hydro engineer Murray Pettit show him exactly where towers would be located on his land. He ridiculed l-I•ydro's proposed power site, which at one point passed 30 feel from one of his fences. "'That's ridiculous," he said. "Putting it there doesn't do anybody any good." Several farmers suggested Hydro pay a compensation by giving discounts ori their monthly hydro bills, but Mr. Hawley replied such an arrangement would be impossible to administer. The Winthrop meeting was the last of five held by Hydro to explain its new policies before contruction begins in mid- September. z11111111IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII11111111111111111IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL Tasker Furniture_.... :,- and Gifts Blyth F.
