Nominations open November 7 and close November 12. Farmers asked to withhold dead stock Beef and pork farmers were asked not to give their dead stock to stock removal companies but make other arrangements,in a proposal in a resolution adopted last week at the annual meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture Thursday night, The resolution, sponsored by Mason Bailey of Blyth, pointed out that the meat from dead animals finds its way into commercial use in pct food and feed for mink farms. If this meat was withheld, he said, processors would have to use meat from regular sources, such as from older animals put on the market. The resolution pointed out that beef producers are facing hard times and governments seem unwilling to help. Mr. Bailey said that as much as it would help through opening new beef markets, the move would be helpful by gaining publicity , that would be helpful in trying to get help for the farmers. "The pen is mightier than the sword," he said, and the farmers had better start learning how to use the pen. George Colclough of Clinton said he felt the proposal was impractical and blamed the whole present situation on the Ontario Government which was giving special incentives to farmers to get into. the cow -calf business two years ago. The government, he said, precipitated the present beef surplus by its actions. "If you're going to encourage a man to get in, you'd better be prepared to,take his product," he said. He said the incentive grants only hurt those who were already in the cow calf business. Others • disagreed with the resolution asking what practical waythere was of getting rid of dead animals if they weren't given, away. Several pointed out ,that .: would cost a good deal to hire a backhoe to"' bury the animals. Mr. Bailey said it would pay the farmers in the long run if they paid to bury the animals at a central point rather than give them away. Beverly Brown of Turnberry township agreed with Mr. Bailey that farmers needed the publicity..

KELLER A summary of the controversial Mustard Report was prepared by Dr.' Frank Mills, Huron County Medical Officer of Health, and presented to each member of county council at the regular monthly meeting Friday, October 25 in Goderich. "I think it is an excellent summary of the report and I urge each member of council to read it carefully so you wi11 be fully aware of the possible implications involved if the report should ever be adopted by the provincial government," Clerk -treasurer, John Berry told council, He also predicted it will be "difficult to Nominations open next week With municipal elections scheduled for December 2, the nomination period will open Thursday, November 7 and run until November 12. in place of the old nomination meeting, most local municipalities will now hold' an open ratepayers meeting to hear a report on the past year's business. Blyth will hold such a meeting the night before nominations open on November 6 with the meeting at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall. East Wawanosh will hold a meeting the same evening at the Belgrave Community Centre at 8:30. Hullett will hold its meeting on the last day of the nomination period on November 12 in Lundesboro. Morris township is not planning such a meeting. get financing for capital expenditures" at the five county hospitals from now on. Mr. Berry gave as an example the "long and tedious" effort by the board at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich to obtain permission to building additional emergency facilities there. "If the report is implemented," warned Mr. Berry, "we will be looking to larger hospitals." He asked county councillors to "stand up for Huron County and its hospitals". Ed Oddleifson, reeve of Bayfield, also voiced concern that if the criteria set out in the Mustard Report was adopted, there could be a "reduction of supported medical centres from five to three". "If there is any reduction in grants to any particular hospital, we should object strenuously," said Mr. Oddleifson, "We should be very, very militant 'about it." He said in his opinion, Huron had an excellent medical setup for a rural county and noted the five hospitals were adequate and serving a need here. The planning board was given permis- sion to engage another planner for the year 1975. This additional personnel would assist the present staff to expedite zoning bylaws at the local level. James Mair of Morris, chairman of the planning board, told council that the further the county goes .with planning, the greater the need for secondary plans and zoning bylaws. "Some of the problems we've encounter- ed might have been handled easier if we'd had more zoning bylaws in the county," said Mr. Mair. He termed it "regrettable" that the planning budget would have to be considerably increased to meet the salary of an additional staffer. It was estimated that an additional $18,000 would have to go into the budget to finance the extra expense. Stan Profit, deputy -reeve of Goderich, asked why municipalities don't hire their own planning consultants if the need for secondary plans is so great. He was told it was costlier for a municipality to engage their own planning staff. It was also pointed out that it had been agreed that the county would provide the planning staff to assist the municipali- ties to ensure a total planning concept for Huron. "Possibly we need a little more overall planning," said Mr. Mair. it was noted that some of the greatest planning problems arise "where town and township meet". Fortune again heads Federation Doug Fortune of Wingham again heads the Huron County Federation of Agricul- ture following the annual meeting of the Federation held Thursday night in Clinton. Mr. Fortune was named for a second one-year term as president of the 2200 -member organization by acclamation. Returned by acclamation as vice-president was Adrian Vos of Blyth with Vince Austin of Dungannon named second vice-presi- dent, also by acclamation.-- Elected cclamation. "Elected directors at large were Howard Armstrong of Stanley township, Albert Erb of Hay and Doug Cameron of Ashfield. without comment. It called for an inquiry into the profit margin's of manufacturers and distributors of fertilizer due to the "dramatic" price: increases in fertilizers in the past year. Guest speaker at the meeting was Dr. Donald J. Blackburn from the University of Guelph who discussed our changing society and the need for more citizen involvement in decision making. He said we seem to be moving toward welfare state -ism with all special interest groups wanting special attention. We now have to worry about the "overload factor" he said, since it is hard for officials to. cope with all decisions they face. . We are in the midst' of a cultural revolution, he said with*w; social. norms everyday. People feel ;;i . powerless to influence change and thus the threat of violence arises.• The time has come, :he'. said, ' to re-examine our old "grassroots" organiza- tion. People learn by participation he said. They accept decisions more readily if they have had some part in forming ' the decision. This, combined with the rising level of education makes it important that there be more extensive citizen participa- tion. Citizen participation; he said, was the most economical and cost effective manner of decision making, he said, because even though citizen particpation niay slow down decision making, it can -point up weaknesses and, in the long run, save money. Somehow, he said, we've got to conte up with a better system that allows more participation. Present public hearings on most big projects, he said, are just tokenism. PG. 2.

Mr. Patterson and friend, Rudy Sneider of RR 5, Goderich used roc as bait but refused to reveal the exact spot the catch was made. Letter to the editor TO THE EDITOR: We so called "jack asses" of Blyth wouldn't be on the streets at 10:30 or on if there was a place for youths to go. Sure we know that some children who don't know how to act, steal tomatoes from peoples gardens, kick down doors and throw stones etc. But this mostly includes Public school students who don't have anything "better" to do. What have we got to do but stand around on main street. At one time we didn't have to stand around on main street because The Huron Grill, former- ly owned by Mr. Jim Seid, was open to the youths of Blyth. Then when he left there was no place for us to go. So naturally everyone stands around on the street. In other towns you can go through and you don't see kids standing around on the street because there is someplace for them to go. What the youths need is some kind of recreation. Someone should re -open the restaurant and do repairs to the bowling alley so we could have some decent bowling, We could also have more dances for the young people. With some kind of recreation here in Blyth it could keep us youths occupied.

PG, 3. Medical Officer of Health criticizes Mustard Report Dr. G. F. Mills, Medical Officer of Health for Huron County has studied the Mustard report of the Health Planning Task Force and has reached the conclusion it is "a disaster to health care in Ontario." In the following article he outlines the dangers and his objections to the reports. The Mustard Report is a report of the Health Planning Task Force, a group headed by Dr, J. F. Mustard. This group was appointed in late 1972 to do a comprehensive study of the health Are delivery system in Ontario particularly in regard to the reorganization. plan of the Ministry of Health that had been presented early in 1970. The Mustard Report is totally destructive of the health care delivery system as it presently exists in Ontario. It is modeled on the National Health Service of Great Britain, and it is far more restrictive to patient and physi- cian than the National Health Service of Great Britain. The Mustard Report hinges on the establishment of three dis- tinct segments of health care; •1. Community Health Centres •2. District Health Councils •3, Arca Health Services Management Board First is the Community Health Centre which is a facility built on a population basis of one for every 15,000 people, i.e., in Huron County with a population of 52,000, there would be three Community Health Centres locat- ed in geographically central positions. All medical care will be given through the Community Health Centres, Community Health Centres will house all of the health profes- sionals in the area, that is, physicians, nurses, social workers, family counsellors, public health nurses, dentists, etc, At a Community Health Centre, a sick person will first have to deal with an intermediary person who will decide whether they need to see a doctor, a nurse, or any of the people listed above. (This barrier to physician -patient relation has never been found in Canada before and is unaccept- able to general public most of whom feel that once they have made up their mind to visit a . physician, they would be annoyed to be channeled t9 another health profession without choice.) Community Health Centres must be built by local funding according to information from the Ministry of health over the past two years.- The formation of Community Health Centres in- volves the development of a public transportation system for the Health Centre which again must be developed and funded locally, but as indicated in the Mustard Report, free transporta- tion must be provided to the Community Health Centres. The second main segment is the formation of the District Health Council. (In 1972 the original re -organization plan of the Ministry of Health indicated that a District. Health Council. would be required and that it would be composed of represent- atives from the health profes- sions; a physician, a nurse, a hospital representative, a dental representative, each one of the health professions, and an equal number of interested consumers, These together would make up a District Health Council with the intent of co-ordinating and integrating health services within the arca they serve.) However, the Mustard Report has re- vamped the Health Council, has removed any health professional membership on it, and simply states • that the District Health Council would be appointed by statute composed of ten mambers who must have no relation to the health professions and no health professional background. The District Health Council which has been suggested for . Huron County would include Huron, Perth, Oxford, Elgin, Middlesex and London with a total population of 550,000, and as can easily be sten, the possibility of a voice from Huron being heard in such a large population arca is remote. The District Health Council is a very important part of the plan. It is advisory to the Minister and the Ministry. it must meet with all voluntary agencies and work with all social and community service agencies, It is required to form the following committees; • 1, A District Health Services Advisory Committee 02. A District Primary Care Committee and a District Primary Care Advisory Committee 03. A District Secondary Care Committee and a District Second- ary Care Advisory Committee •4. A District Committee on Diagnostic Services 05. An Arca Health Services Advisory Committee •6. A Planning Committee •7. A Facilities Committee •8. An Education Committee 09. A Community Relations Committee One must bear in mind that all of these committees plus the District Health Council arc purely voluntary, (without pay) must meet regularly and often ,involve the members of the health manpower teams. A committee structure such as this is almost impossible, not only because of the difficulty of finding people to serve voluntarily on these committees, but also because of the number of meetings that must be held by these committees secondary to the District Health Council. • It has been computed that in Ontario the committee structure as stated would require 4,800 voluntary workers plus an addi- tional 200 paid positions of secretarial and administrative to operate these committee struc- tures. This is not in keeping with any attempt to reduce healthy care costs which was the original intent of the reorganization plan. We must also deal with another very important part of the District Health Council and that is; it is directed to form an Area Health Services Management Board which will be discussed in the next item. The third segment then involv- ed in the Mustard Report is the Area Health Services Manage- ment Board. This is a very powerful body which will operate either one or a number of institutions depending on the size and the population. The Area Health Services Management Board will replace all. existing hospital boards and many have representation from the existing hospital boards but does not have to. It again is appointed through the Minister's office, The Area Health Services Management Board not only will operate the hospitals in the arca, but will also decide on the number of physicians present in the arca and surveillance on the quota system for physicians within the arca, This is something that we must think of also, that there will be a quota system for physicians for our area as with all areas; that the number will be present on a population basis as yet to be determined; that we may face a reduction of physicians on a population base, because al- though we are large in area, we are small in population numbers. A physician may not come into an arca to practice unless there is a vacancy in the quota system for the arca. If he decides to cone into the arca and practice regardless of the openings, he will not be supported by O.H.I.P., and this is stated clearly in the Mustard Report. "No O,H.1.P. payments for a physician who practices outside of the quota system and where there is no vacancy available in the area," Another important implication of the Area Health Services Management Board is in regard to our hospitals. The Minister of Health, at a meeting of the Ontario Hospital Association in Sault Ste. Marie in September of 1974, stated that the optimum size for a hospital to operate efficiently was 300 beds, and that we should aim for this figure. This, of course, has great importance to Huron County where we have five municipal hospitals with a total of a little over 400 beds and concluding from the Minister's remarks, we would have to say that in Huron County, we would be left with one 300 bed hospital at • the most. From this, we see that the five municipal hospitals are, going .to have to reduce in number, and the implication is that some of these hospitals will indeed be closed. Another sad thing about _the hospitals is the dissolution of the hospital boards. Over the years, hospital board members have been a dedicated and interested group, have given many hours of service to the community hospi- tals to develop them and make then a great service to our community. It has even been noted that over the years many of the community hospitals have been endowed from former voluntary hospital .board members. Indeed, some of the larger city hospitals have had generous endowments from form- er board members. Again, voluntary effort.has not only built Stewart's Red U White Food Mkt.

The dangers can be divided into; •1. Consumer Dangers •2. Hospital Dangers •3. Professional Dangers •4. Political Dangers CONSUMER DANGERS The consumer overall will have a low -quality health care system. The implications of the Mustard Report would indicate there will be few doctors for the areas, there will be fewer hospitals for the areas, there will be distance to travel to medical care and the type of h9alth care that you receive wiX determined by an intermediary person of non- professional standing. Consumer dangers also must include the tremendous increase in costs; the obvious costs being the cost of building Community Health Centres, the cost of the develop- ing a free transportation system to the Community Health Centres the cost of operating the tremendous committee structure with 4,800 volunteers and 200 additional civil service positions. There is no doubt that the taxpayer will suffer, that there will indeed be a tremendous increase in the cost of the new health care delivery system as presented in the Mustard Report. DANGERS TO THE HOSPITALS 1 must again state that there is every indication that there will be indeed fewer hospitals, that hospitals must be of a 300 bed size, that there will be one appointed board for several hospitals, that is the Area Health Services Management Board, that there will be only special services of a limited type in the community hospital that is allowed to remain, and that most of the more specialized services will have to be obtained in the catchment area of the more specialized services will have to be obtained in the catchment arca of the large London health arca.

EDITORIALS Holding the purse strings Provincial treasurer John White last week named Ontario municipalities that there. would be no further "handouts", from the provincial government this year. Mr. White made the statement at the annual conference of the Association of Counties and Regions of Ontario. It's another example of how the Ontario government likes to pull the strings and make all local governments do just what the government wants. Mr. White makes it sound like the municipalities have been on a wild spending binge. Yet there has been no more efficient form of government anywhere than the municipalities when on compares the money spent -to the service received. If there has been an increase in expenditure it can generally be put down to one of two reasons: inflation, and new regulations dreamed up by the provincial governmest which have increased the cost of running local governments. If municipal expenditure has increased, it has increased most in those areas of the province where the government imposed regional government. It has also increased because of new welfare systems imposed by the province. By tougher controls on garbage disposal systems. By a hundred and one little things that the government has demanded that has helped add to the cost of local government. it sounds ludicrous to hear Mr. White lecturing the municipalities on their expenditure when the province has had the fastest growing expenses of any level of government; when it increased our cost by imposing county school boards; and is going to make it even worse by shoving the Mustard report recommendations on health care reform down our throats. if there is cost cutting to be done, the first place it should be done is at the provincial level where we could cut out a good deal of the bureacracy, and a heck of a lot of the idiotic ideas that just cost us more and more and more. Now's the time for action Consumer groups, opposition politicians and trade unions have lined up to blast the farm marketing boards en masse in the past few weeks. Now is their chance to do something about the situation. The anti -marketing board segment of society has preached that marketing boards are wrong because they restrict production. Every critic begins his salvo by saying: "Farmers deserve a decent income but..." and proceeds to denounce marketing boards which attempt to give farmers a decent income. One of the farmproducts which is not regulated by marketing boards is the production of beef. Because there is no marketing, beef has gone through the traditional boom and bust cycle of high production and low prices followed by production cutbacks and high prices. Consumers have argued that there is a better way than marketing' boards and now is their chance to prove it in the beef industry. Beef producers are facing high costs and their prices .have dropped disastrously. They need help immediately or many will be.forced out of business, brining on a shortage situation all over again. Consumers who argue against production controls on the basis that it is denying food to starving millions around the world, should now be fighting hard to have the surplus beef purchased by the government or by voluntary agencies and shipped to people around the world who need the food. It would be nice to see this happen both for the starving people around the world and for the farmers who would not see their prices hit rock bottom because there would no longer be a surplus to depress the market. It would be nice...but it won't happen. It won't happen because despite all the beautiful talk about saving the starving millions, consumer groups really want destruction of marketing boards for just the reason we're now seeing, that surplusses will mean low prices. Unfortunately for the consumer, however, the days of cheap food are over as we're seeing now. Farmers are going broke, but the prices of meat on the supermarket shelf is not dropping. Destroying marketing boards will only make the situation worse. Journalism at its best The CTV network on its W5 program on Sunday evening showed us journalism at its best. The program featured interviewer Carole Taylor talking with Margaret Trudeau about her life in general and her recent psychiatric treatment in particular. Margaret Trudeau, like her husband the Prime Minister, is a person much in.the glare of the news spotlight, but hardly known at all by the Canadian people...or at least she wasn't before her appearance on the program. Mrs. Trudeau is a very quiet, private person but under the gentle questioning of Mrs. Taylor, she opened up her life for the Canadian people and gave us one of those rare, truely intimate looks at another human being. Seldom, in our fast -paced world, do we ever get to hear the intermost fears and dreams of another person,_ even our next door neighbour, let alone the Prime Minister's wife. Mrs. Trudeau has already been hailed for her open admission that she was under psychiatric care. Many have pointed out that by her candid discussion of her problems, she has made it easier for Canadians to accept the fact that mental illness is just as much a part of life as physcial illness, Now she has served tis again by letting us know a little of the pressures the nation's first family must undergo...from constantly being in the spotlight to the fact one can never be alone outside the prime ministerial residence, to the fact that one suddenly has a,staff of 10 servants which they may not know what to do with, to the fact that there is little time left after official business for a husband and wife to be a husband and wife. She showed us her fears for her children growing up in an envir(.nment where they are always protected by security men. She showed us, in short, that there are real human beings behind the faces in the front page pictures, that these humans have the same hopes and fears, the same strengths and weaknesses, the same everyday problems that we have, but with the added pressure of being the most famous family in Canada. Fi i.11 Smiley A ditch full of cat tails Oh, what a beautiful day BY BILL SMILEY IT'S a fine, nay, a beautiful October day, and I have a fine, nay a beautiful feeling inside me. I've just spent a weekend with my grandbabby. The experience was enough to make me feel that the daily grind, which seems to be grindier and grindier might be worthwhile after all., The Jews have a saying, in one of their books, that killing a man is a terrible thing, because you are not only killing him, but the sons he might have and the sons they might have and so on and on, 1 think this is a fine thought. This would apply equally to killing a woman, though the Old Testament Jews were not exactly sold on Women's Lib. If I had been killed in the war, and there was a good chance I would be, that grandbab would not exist, and the whole world would be poorer. I'm not kidding. The existence of so much delight and charm and laughter and love, all wrapped up in one perfectly formed nine-month old creation, restores my faith, which at times becomes a little tattered around the edges, in God. Man alone, with all his gifts, could never devise the shine in that child's eyes, the mischievous two -tooth grin, the sinuosity of muscle, the incredible endurance. The urchin is living proof to me that humans have a soul, a will, a spirit. Technology can put to- gether a computer, but it can't begin to create, or even imitate, the glory that it a baby. 1 can imagine man devising a machine which could reproduce the sonorous lines of Milton, the fantastic fancy of Shakespeare, but there would always be something missing. Computers are clean things. They don't have to go to the bathroom. They don't have underarm problems. No corns or constipation, arthritis or acne, piles or pimples. But something is missing. Soul? Maybe. I'm not trying to foist upon you the idea that my grandson is perfect, or a genius, even though he is. I'm merely trying to remind you, if you have grandchildren, of what a joy they are, and if you now have only rotten kids, you have a precious experience in store for your nether years. My grandbab is not the most beautiful child in the world. He'd probably come in second, or even third, in an international Beauti- ful Baby contest. And he's not the smartest. I discovered this last summer, at the beach. He'd sit there, stark naked, pick up a handful of sand, and pour it over his left ear. Never his right. It was a lot of trouble, getting that sand out of his ear. And he liked to eat sand, was delighted if he got a handful with a stone in it, for chewing. But he's got his grandfather's genes, Which make him intelli- gent, charming, lovable, and pretty well all-round perfect, as I point out to my wife. Unfortunately, he has his mother's jeans, as well, Which make him bad-tempered when crossed, make him knock over anything that's over-knockable. But also give him eyes like two huge dark grapes, a sense of humour, and a smile like a Christmas tree when •the lights have just been plugged in. I have no trouble coping with him, when he spends a visit, All 1 do is make sure I've had twelve hours sleep for the three nights before he arrives, do extensive calisthenics and some jogging for three days before he arrives. Then I'm ready for Super -Babe. His parents are no problem. His mother is satisfied with a hug, a kiss, and a cheque. His father is satisfied with a full refrigerator, which he opens and starts rubbing his stomach one minute after we've shaken hands, Then they disappear, and i have the kid on my lap. For about eight seconds. The he gives a lurch, a twist, and he'd down, crawling at about forty miles an hour straight into the fireplace. Luckily, I'm prepared. The andirons are all locked away, except the broom, which he uses to comb his hair and ' bang his forehead, Everything breakable, reachable or fragile is locked in the vestibule. I toss a chess set on the floor. Terrific. He picks up a rook, crawls to the coffee table, so carefully waxed and polished, and • standard KEITH & JILL ROULSTON Co -Publishers Published every Wednesday at Queen St., Blyth, Ontario.

There was strong objection registered from the Women's Auxiliary of the Goder- ich Hospital at the time of the County Council discussion of the Mustard Report indicating that the Women's Auxiliary over the years hadtgone out of their way, put much effort into raising funds to buy necessary equipment for the hospital and to furnish the hospital and that this type of voluntary work should not have been overlooked and cannot be expected to be continued when it becomes strictly a governmental hospital. At a recent meeting of District No. 2 ot the Hospital Auxiliaries of Ontario, it was pointed out that in the past year $148,000.00 had been raised by the member auxiliaries to buy equipment and furnishings for the hospitals in the areas they serve, This is only one year of many that they have teen in existence and operation and fund raising.

We must remember also that in the Community Health Centre set-up, that the Health Centre must be staffed twenty-four hours a day with all health professionals and that, therefore, doctors will be on shift work and that the possibility of the consumer seeing his favorite physician at the time that he is ill is remote on sheer mathematical probability of the patient being ill when the doctor is on duty or on his particular shift at the Health Centre. Another professional danger is THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 30, 1974. PG. 5, criticizes Mustard Report the demoralizing effect that this total report has had on hospital staff and on all health profession- als by making them feel that they are no longer needed as person- ally interested professionals look- ing after a patient's welfare, but rather only as push-button pawns to do a specific technical job and show no interest or personal concern for the health consumer, POLITICAL DANGERS The loss of local control of our health services to a more distant body as implied in the District Health Council for the area encompassing the five counties and involving the tremendous centre of population and special- ized health care in the university arca of London. A political person must be concerned and is concerned that there would be in practicality no way that we would have a voice on the Health Council when we are only 50,000 people in a total population of 550,000. We would be overwhelmed and soon for- gotten. Many have said to me, "What can we do," when they have read the report and I think everyone should avail themselves with a copy of the report and read it, (although it is heavy reading and tends to give you a strong feeling of sleepiness) bear with it, and as you read through it you will find the points 1 have outlined above to be as stated. if you conclude, as 1 have concluded, that this proposed health care delivery system is a disaster to health care in Ontario and as many have wondered what can a person do, I certainly would urge you to sit down and write a letter of rejection to the Minister of Health, to your local M.P.P.'s and to the Premier of Ontario. Letters of objection, letter of rejection and letters of concern must be sent as soon as possible if there is to be any hope of stopping the implementation of this report as presented, I have noted that when the occasional person has objected, he has received a watered-down reassurance re. the Mustard Report, such as, "Well we THIS wouldn't use all ot it, we will just use part of it", but I would like to point out that Dr. Mustard himself has stated that there can be no small part of the Mustard Report omitted. it hinges to- gether. It must be all or nothing and certainly with what we have in Ontario today in our health care delivery system, it is my feeling that we do not need the Mustard Report, We do not need to add unnecessary costs to health care and if one really is interested in developing efficiency in the health care system, then they should start at the community level and find out fronthe people who are the consumers of health care and the physicians and nurses who are the people giving the health care what can be done. To impose a major re -organiza- tion plan without practical experi- ence and knowledge of health care as it actually is at the consumer level is an impossibility and the Mustard Report certainly demonstrates this in its conclu- sions and recommendations, Shatter Your Family's Future DRIVE HOWSON AND HOWSON LTD.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 30, Agricultural Tidbits Water project WITH ADRIAN VOS The Kitchener•Waterloo region needs water and lots of it. Their mushrooming growth demands it for domestic and industrial use. Canada is the country with the most of this resource in the entire world. However, instead of looking to the Great Lakes, they want to dam the. Nith river in Oxford county, flood about 9,000 acres of choice crop land and pipe it into their system. 1 happen to know the Nith river and all tough the summer there is about as much water in it as a good sized creek, At best it would just help out a little bit and then they would still have to go to a Lake Erie pipeline. It seems from here that people don't care one bit about food producing land until they themselves are hit. But I bet that they are the same people who holler loudest about higher food prices. Luckily there are some in 1974. just a drop government opposing the move, notably Ag. Minister Stewart and Environment Minister Newman. Let's hope that their views prevail. • ***** Just to show how efficient Ontario's farmers have become, Ontario's farmland declined from 3.5 acres per person in 1941 to 1.4 acres now, but farm production is higher now than it ever was, One shouldn't think however that there is no limit to what the farmer can do. If the revived plan for a power plant in Huron county would be approved, it would certainly mean that due to increased traffic pollution, hundreds of acres of white bean land will have to be shifted to other less protein -producing crops. It bothers me some that the struggle to preserve land is left largely to the farmers and that the people in the towns and cities, Achievement Night to be held Nov. 8 The 27th annual Huron County 4-H Achievement Night will be held in the Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, on Friday, November 8, commencing at 8:00 p.m. All Huron County 4-H Agricul- tural club members who complet- ed a project in 1974 will receive their awards on this occasion, as well as those who have received special trophies and awards for their 1974 4-H club work.

PC. 7. From the Minister's Study Reformation Day celebrated on October '31 BY TED HOOGSTEEN On this day the denominations with the world 'Reformed' in their names celebrate Reformation Day. October 31, 1517 marks the beginning of the Reformation, Rentenibrance of this day is not a crude denominationalism but a justifiable pride in a heritage and church. The name 'Reformed' may mislead non -thinkers to believe that all members of these denominations have reached a state of perfection. This is not so. We believe that the salvation in Jesus Christ leads to a constant reformation of both persons and the world. No one in this world is perfect, and Christians, of all people, should be more aware of wrongdoing, of sinfulness, than any other, although with the sense of lawbreaking, comes powerfully the forgiveness in Jesus' death and • resurrection, That forgiveness brings out • a constant reformation, a transformation, of the whole person, and eventually the world. One )f the most crippling tenets current in Christian churches is that faith is a matter of the heart only, that Christianity has no place other than in the very personal life of a believer. And many are gullible enough to accept this limitation, imposed from the outside, upon Christian faith, because, it is claimed, Christianity makes so much trouble. If Christianity is limited to the heart, and expressible mainly in a worship service, how drab. Only if Christianity and its believers speak out on every issue of international, national, and local concern the faith . in and the lordship of Jesus focus clearly; Christ is Lord of the whole person and the entire world. a doctrine derived from Scriptures, a tenet • applicable not only in the Churches of the Reformation but in the whole of Christianity.

Local Children's Aid Society notes significant changes in service The number of families receiv- ing counselling from Children's Aid Societies in Ontario continued an increase which began in 1970. There has been a 12 per cent increase since 1970, and at the end of 1973 for the year was 31,203 families involving 82,318 children in their own homes. Locally, the increase in Family Services in the County's Child- ren's Aid Society has been higher. in 1970, an average of 105 families were receiving counsell- ing services and by Spring of 1974, this figure had risen to 154 families`nvolving 359 children. "This is an encouraging trend," noted Local Director, B.R. Heath, "particularly when we can identify a simultaneous decrease in children in care. More importantly, family and marital problems can be worked on at a point in time before the situation becomes intolerable and irrepar- able damage done to the children. Even when parental differences are irreconcilable, and separation and divorce do occur, appropriate counselling and direction can be given to lessen the emotional impact on the children. Presently we are exploring the possibility of establishing a 'conciliation service' in Iiasion with the Family Court due to the increase in hearings and referrals affecting marriages and children before the courts. "There continues, however, to be hesitation on the part of many people in the community to report immediately situations affecting children which demand authorita- tive or supervisory action by the Children's Aid Society to effect protective services to children, We would be naive to think that some children do not have to be removed temporarily or even permanently from parents, be- cause of the parental inability to cope with, or provide for their children. "In such circumstances, we are extremely dependent on the community at large to report situations which can be described as neglect of children, and to be willing to come forward with back-up evidence if a court hearing is necessitated.. Not wanting to 'get involved' is a lame excuse where children are involved, and particularly when many such situations can be ameliorated if the referral is made early enough." The number of children coming into Children's Aid care provin- cially has seen also a noticeable decrease, eighteen percent be- tween 1969 and 1972, down from 18,430 to 15,110 in the time period. At the end of 1973 a slight increase to 15,144 was recorded. Locally, Huron Chidren's Aid Society 'peaked' with children in care at 120 in the summer of 1970 and has seen an initial decline, and then levelling off to the Spring of this year when 88 children remained in care. This decrease relates to the overall trend to return more children to their homes, as soon as possible, and avoid placement in the first instance wherever possible if alternate care or services • can be utilized - such as homemaking services, County Home Care where appropriate, foster day care, or referral to County Social Services or provincial assistance programmes where the expendi- ture of some additional funds will eliminate separation of children from their parents. As with the rest of the province, the number of infants being surrendered for adoption has affected child care statistics, Provincially between the ,peak years'of 1969 when 9,748 single mothers asked for service, and 1973 when 4,904 new cases were recorded, this service has declin- ed by 53 per cent, and thv: number of children reliquished for adop- tion declined to 2,047. The total number of children on adoption probation continued to decline from 8,985 in 1969 to 4,864 ,in 1973, a decrease of 46 per cent: Adoption applications have trends also decreased in the same period by a third. The difference between tile 2,047 infants relin- quished for adoption and the 4,864 children on adoption placement represents the impact of a decided emphasis on non -infant adoption. in the period 1968 to 1970 up to 30 babies were on adoption probation in Huron County at any one time. Today, there are 19 children on adoption placement and all of these but six are over three years of age. "This is an encouraging and dramatic change in adoption emphasis: and, highlights the primary philosophy of C.A.S. adoption service of providing homes for every child who is legally adoptable, a swing away from the former apparent practise, of finding infants for families", said Mr. Heath. "Locally, the Board of Directors found it necessary to amend its adoption policy and procedures in the Spring to defer the complete processing of applications for infants. All applicants are person- ally seen, however, so that the situation can be fully explained, and alternatives chosen where appropriate. "Where we have seen the decrease of younger children in care, and infants on adoption," noted Heath, "the proportion of teenagers in care, compared with all other age groups has continued to rise in close to 50 per cent up from a thirty percent average in 1969. "Unfortunately", said Health, "I know of no Children's Aid Society in the province, including our own, which has the resources available to cope with the demands place on the Society and its traditional foster care re- sources, Fortunately most of our foster homes have:stuck with us' during the time period when older children have been coming into care, but there has been no expansion of foster care resources to meet the demand, "Presently we would want to recruit one or two homes in the County who would be developed into small group setting of up to four teenagers each, Our immed- iate need is for a home for teenage girls. Such a small group setting is often the only answer for youngsters who cannot accept the resentment they feel in exchanging their own parents for foster parents. Such children often reject both the values and kindness of traditional foster parents. Their anger with their own parents for 'letting them down' affects all their relation- ships with adults.

Marion McClure Clerk, McKillop Township 55 -page study The impact of the Ontario 1lych•o Bruce Generating Station on 11 13ruce•county municipalities was the subject of a 55 page study released in Underwood on Monday. The brief was boiled down from a 400 page technical report prepared for the Ontario Hydro consulting firm of M.M. Dillon Ltd. While dealing specifically with the II municipalities in Bruce county which arc affected by the project, the report also holds interest for •Huron county resi- dents, because of the possibility, acknowledged by Hydro, that a nuclear pgwer plant may be built in Huron county on the Lakeshore. '1'hc study showed that the power project would increase the net expenditures of the 11 municipalities by $2.3 million in the next decade. The study showed that the towns of Port Elgin and South- ampton were worried about the changes in the character of their communities. Port Elgin, Kincar- dine and Walkerton officials arc concerned with the increasing crime rate as a result of the power development. The problems caused by the project include labor shortages, increased housing costs, and increased work load for municipal employees. A major headache for the municipalities is that growth imposed on them by the power project necessitates large capital expenditures for new services, yet the municipalities lack the capacity to finance these expendi- tures. "New secondary employ- ment," their study says, "is limited to the retail," constuction and government sectors. "The general pattern has been for the population to increase by between 3.0 and 4.5 persons for each new resident employee at • the power plant. The multiplier is generally higher in the towns than in the rural areas," the study says. Since the power program began in this area in the mid-1960s' the annual average population in- crease has been four per cent with many of those new people in the 22 -to -44 -year-old age bracket. Before the project the area tended to be "older than average for the province and the birth rate was relatively low." It is anticipated the population increase will rise to six per cent up to 1978, and that 70 to 75 per cent of the new population growth in southern Bruce County can be attributed to the power project. Among the municipal services that politicians and their employ- ees mployees expect will be hard pressed by the growth of the Bruce develop- ment are water systems, roads, police and fire protection and recreation and community services. Almost all the population growth and building activity in Kincardine from 1969 until 1978 can be attributed to the Bruce power plant, the study says. It is estimated the town's net expenditure, associated with this increased growth due to the plant, will result in a deficit of $185,000 for the period 1973-77, and another $260,000 for the 1978-84 period. For Port Elgin, the picture is almost the same, and the report says "substantial capital works will be necessary in the relatively near future" to meet the increased demands. The expenditure figures for Port Elgin is projected at a deficit of $335,000 over the 1973-77 period and another $434,000 for the 1978-84 period. Other area municipalities face similar financial pressure result- ing from the development. The_ impact of the project on Bruce county will continue because of plans for further expansion of the vast complex of power generating reactors and heavy water plants. Earlier this year the Ontario Energy Board deferred a r decision. on the expansion ter further study. released on effect Darcy McKeough, provincial energy minister, said at the meeting Monday that the expan- THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 30, 1974. PC. 9. of generating station sion will be going ahead. Mr, McKcough also promised compensation to the municipals• tics for the added burdens they fact because of the project. The province, and the municipalities have quarrelled before on just how much the project had hurt the municipalities financially.

Behind the scenes Don't judge BY KEITH ROULSTON The Indians had a saying about never judging a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins. The Chinese under Moa have gone a step further, and we in the western world could learn from them. Canadians have always been ones to jump on the other guy and its never been more evident than in the past year or so as inflation has rocket tin? nation. Everyone is looking for a culprit and the result is there's a boogy man under eveiw bed. 1 think this country would be a lot more harmonious place to live a man until you've walked in if we could adopt some of the Chinese system into, our own. In China all workers have to take sabatical every few years to work for the state in much the way many countries operate a military draft program. During this period, factory workers are transferred to work on farms; bureaucrats have to change place with workers, and in general the whole comfortable way of life people tend to fall into is shaken up. You literally walk in the other man's shoes for a while, Imagine what would happen if we could make that happen in Canada. Ima ine the head of Work continues inside and outsideMemorlal Hall. Outside this week workmen were busy erecting the bell tower. Inside, the large auditorium looks much smaller as scaffolding crowds the space allowing workmen to put on the new ceiling.

FABRICS Blyth 523-9675 t General Motors if he had to work on his own assembly line for a few months...imagine what changes it might make in industrial plann- ing, Imagine if the fat cat bureau- crats in Ottawa or Toronto if they suddenly had to work in a mine in Nova Scotia, Imagine a, big food chain retailer if he had to work in a pig barn for a year or so. Our problem in Canada is that we've become a nation of specialists...worse still a nation of urban specialists. Most people work in one particular field of work and nearly all the people they know work in the same place of business. They come home at night and they hardly ever see their neighbours so they don't even learn about the trials and tribulations of the neighbour's job, The urban people seldom rub shoulders with the country people. and vice versa, These walls we build up between each other bring mis- trust. Suddenly we're all alone and the other guy, all those other gut's in all those jobs we don't know anything about, is out to get, us. Maybe there are boogey men in the inflation 'situation. Maybe somebody along the way is taking advantage of inflation to make a killing. But so many of the apparent culprits are good honest people who are struggling hard just to keep up with spiralling costs. I know of few farmers who are nuking much money, 00 matter what cynics say. I know a lot of honest retailers who aren't having problems counting their money: rather they're worried that inflation just may, put a mile them right out of business. I don't know the situation with the, big food chains. 1 don't know the situation with the oil companies. 1 don't know the situation with the big lumber companies, the steel companies or the paper compan- ies, but I suspect they'd be happy if they were making as much money as most people claim they are. You and I and the people we know aren't making a killing from inflation so why do we tend to think everybody else is. It's easy to criticize. It's easy to jump on the bandwagon and blame everybody else for ripping you off. What's needed is a little more understanding. What's needed is a little more concern for what's happening to the world; a "little resolve that you as an individual arc going to do your best to help.
