The figures tell
Murray Lougheed, manager of Belgrave Branch of the United
Co-operatives of Ontario, gives the good news of higher sales to the
councillors of the Belgrave branch: [from left] Peter Chandler, John
Viiut
Gaunt, Murray Vincent, Fred Meier, Richard Moore and Maurice
Hallahan. Announcement was also made at the annual meeting
Friday night of a new store and warehouse for the branch.
Belgrave U.C.O. will expand
Another year of record sales, and plans
for expansion were reported at the annual
meeting of the United Co-operatives of
Ontario Belgrave Branch on Friday night.
Manager Murray Lougheed reported an
increase in business by more than $500,000
in the past year from $860,000 to 1,376,000
in 1974. Part of the increase, he said, was
due to inflation but a good deal of it was
because "the patrons of Belgrave are using
their Coop He said that U.C.O.
Belgrave is growing about as fast as any
branch in the U.C.O. system. It will have to
continue to grow in the coming years, he
said.
Plans are also underway, it was
announced, for a new warehouse and store
complex for the Belgrave Coop. The new
building will be built in stages on the
present site.
Mr. Lougheed said that the present
facilities are just too small to continue
doing the kind of business that is presently
being done.
Mr. Lougheed revealed the growth
figures for the various departments of the
operation. Fertilizer sales were $299,100
compared to $177,600 in 1973. Feed sales
were $596,000 compared to $348,000 in
1973. Petroleum sales were up to $190,000
compared to a year ago. Store sales had
increased to $105,000 compared to $79,000
the year earlier.
Seed sales reached $64,000 compared to
$35,000 in 1973. Farm supplies reached
$73,000 in comparison with $31,500 in
1973. Chemical were $47,000 in 1974 and
17,000 in 1973.
The net for the year was $38,300 as
compared to $16,300 in 1973.
Robert McKercher of Dublin, are
director for U.C.O. congratulated the
Belgrave members on their fine year and
reported that U.C.O. had also had an
amazing year of growth with a 35 per cent
growth overall and an eight to nine per cent
real growth rate.
Because of the good year, he said, four
million dollars in patronage will be
returned to mtmbers at a rate of three and
three-quarters percent on retailsupply
sales to direct :lembers.
Peter Chandler, Richard Moore and
Maurice Hallahan were elected as
councillors for the next two years.
Representatives of U.C.O. outlined some
of the prospects for the next year as far as
supply and prices went.
Anti -freeze will continue to be in tight
supply, it was reported, but U.C.O.
managed to hold a prize of $6.75 this year
as compared to $10-$12 elsewhere. The
fencing outlook will be much the same as
last year with allocations necessary. In
twince, the price won't be good but it looks
like U.C.O. should have an adequate
supply selling at at least $31.95.
Seed corn is now already sold out for the
western region with 15 per cent more sales
than last year and a shorter supply in the
first place. All Coop corn is number one
grade, the spokesman reported.
In fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer will be the
roughest area, he reported but the supply
appears t9 be getting nearly as good as last
year. The phosphorus supply looks good
with slightly more than last year. Potash
supplies are about equal to last year. But
there could be shipping problems.
He warned that there is a definite trend
to higher costs with higher labour and
freight posts. He promised the U.C.O. will
not, however, use price as a basis for
allocation but will use former patronage to
determine allocation for any short supplied
items.
Maitland Authority hamstrung
by land speculation tax
Attempts by the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority to acquire land in
the Saratoga Swamp area near Auburn
have been frustrated by the provincial
government's land speculation tax,
members of the Authority were told at the
annual meeting in Brussels on Monday.
The land acquisition committee of the
authority reported that it had tried to
acquire 100 acres in the area but had
failed.
The swampy property, the committee
noted, is a "priority one” for acquisition.
The area, near the source of Sharpe's
Creek (a tributary of the Maitland) is
covered with a cedar bush and has several
strong springs, the committee reported.
Although the price suited the authority,
property owner Harold Glen decided
against selling the land for fear the
speculation tax would penalize him,
chairman Lorne Murray said.
Authority chairman Jack Graul of
Gadshill said he hoped the tax law could be
amended so as not to apply to conservation
authorities.
"After all," he said, "it's not as though
we are a private company. We're spending
public money to acquire land for the
public's enjoyment."
He said legislation currently is being
considered to exempt conservation authori-
ties from provision of the specualtion tax.
• The necessary modification he said
would see conservation authorities treated
as municipalities and Crown corporations
to permit them to acquire land from private
owners.
Resource manager Ian Deslauriers
unvieled the authority's long-range land
acquisition plans.
He said the plans were only general but
designed to enlarge the 1,570 acres already
owned by the authority.
Mr. Deslauriers said buying land in the
Maitland Valley between Benmiiler and
Goderich was one of the most important
sections of the watershed to be considered.

Power station
prospects
worry farmers
The spectre of an atomic power
generating station in Huron county has the
county's farmers feeling uneasy again.
The subject reared its head at the
monthly meeting of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture held in Clinton
on Thursday night. One farmer attending
the meeting said he heard Ontario Hydro
had been buying land near Varna, and that
started discussion on the proposed power
plant. Rumors about the location of such a
plant in Huron county have been making
the rounds for several years but a year and
a half ago gained momentum to the point
where Ontario Hydro was admitting its
interest in the area. But this summer, after
conducting a survey of local opinion, Hydro
announced it was dropping plans for such a
station at the present time. Barely months
later, Hydro was admitting that it hadn't
ruled out a Huron station in its future
plans.
Mason Bailey, who has been involved
with Hydro through the Ontario Federa-
tions Power Lines Committee, warned that
with Hydro "nothing is on the up and up"
on the subject. It was not , like Ontario
Hydro to give up so easily as it did this
summer after the survey, he said. ,here
had to be two or three reasons why they did
it, he said. Perhaps they didn't want to
locate in Huron in the first place, he said,
but just wanted some other area to clamour
for the nuclear station.
Or, he said, perhaps they deferred plans
on the station so that when they came back
to Huron, there would be an organized
group that wanted the station, not just
organized opposition.
The opposition of the Ontario Bean
Producers to the location of the station in
prime began growing country was noted
as was opposition from other quarters. It
was noted that the Federation was already
on record as opposing the location of a
generating station in Huron county.
Mr. Bailey stated that he felt the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture's Land -use
policy covered the situation exactly. The
policy states that all class one and two
tarmland (judged on the quality of the soil
to agriculture) must be used for food
production as long as it is profitable to do
so,
Martin Baan of Walton said that despite
some complaints, Huron is not a poor area.
He said that the county can have industry
without have the huge Hydro project and
the kind of effect the Bruce project has had
on the Kincardine area. The power plant
should be put where it does the most good
and the least harm, he said, and there were
many other places than Huron county.
School Fair holds annual

Family Life Program schedule presented at Board meeting
BY WILMA OKE
The tender for the construction
of a library resource centre and
equipment at St. Patrick's School,
Kinkora, was awarded to Don
Richt Construction Limited of
New Hamburg at a meeting of
the Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board
Monday night. The tender is
subject to approval by the
Ministry of Education and the
Ontario Municipal Board.
The Riehl tender, the lowest of
nine received by the board, was
$68,144. The highest was
$94,342,
The board will put 417 feet of
link fence along the property line
of the one acre recently purchas-
ed for St. Mary's School at
Hesson from Simon Stcmmlcr,
RR 4, Listowel, to provide a better
roadway for the school buses. The
fence was one of the provisions
required by the Perth Land
Division Committee before
approval of scvcrcncc was given,
in order to safeguard the children
living on adjacent properties,
presently owned by Ron Poissant
and Mr. Stcmmlcr.
A schedule for implementing
the Family Life Program was
presented for board approval by
John Vintar, Superintendent of
Education, It calls for the
program to be planned at
meetings in January for the
principals, the teachers and the
pastors to instruct the Grade 8
students in the 1S -week period
from February to May. As it has
not been possible to obtain a
co-ordinator for the program, Mr.
--Vintar suggested that the same
program as used last term, when
it was inititated should continue
this year,
A pilot course for Grade 7 will
be started at St. James School,
Seaforth, as four of the teachers
at St. James have taken the
course for instructors.
Local Christmas Bureau
underway
In co-ordination with other local
community groups and volun-
teers, the County Children's Aid
Society will again be undertaking
sponsorship of a Christmas
Bureau in each of the live towns
in Huron County. In Wingham
and Goderich, the Society will
again merge its programme with
the Salvation Army as co-sponsor.
"This will be the third year that
the Society has co-ordinated its
Christmas Assistance Programme
in the five County towns in order
to utilize better the support and
volunteer assistance on behalf of
families and children in the
various areas of Huron County,"
noted Children's Aid Society
Director, Bruce R. Heath.
"in most communities in
Huron County, church and
community service club groups
have traditionally assisted people
at Christmas. The local Christmas
Bureau, through a co-ordinator in
each town, acts as a clearing
house to eliminate duplication or
jointly meets any special needs
that come to Children's Aid
attention. In sponsoring a Christ-
mas Bureau, it has been our
intention to make the best
possible use of the voluntary
donations which totally fund the
programme."
"Any authorized representa-
tive of a church or community
group may check our index either
at our office in Goderich, or with
the local co-ordinator. Similarly
families needing assistance can
contact us or be referred by any
community group or concerned
individual."
"Up to December 2, the Society
had processed approximately 125
requests for Christmas assistance
and other requests continue to
come in daily. Fortunately, the
Society has already received
donations and commitments of
help from many church and
service clubs, but we anticipate
many more requests for help this
year than last, and costs have also
risen since 1973".
Last year many individuals and
several family groups, not affilia-
ted with a service club or church
organization, when doing their
own shopping made it a point to
purchase an extra gift, article of
clothing or a game which could be
used by a family group and
donated these to the Bureau.
Several families undertook to
sponsor partially or in total the
costs for an individual family.
When one considers the generally
affluent level of gift giving these
days in most Canadian families, it
\would not seem unreasonable to
appeal for consideration of those
less fortunate and assist accord-
ing to one's personal means.
'those donating money are asked
to forward same by cheque or
money order to the: Society office
in Goderich, 46 Glouchester
Terrace, marked "Christmas."
Income tax receipts will be
issued.
Donations of new gifts • toys
and games for all age groups,
books, sports equipment, includ-
ing good used skates, • and
articles of new clothing such as
mitts, scarfs, caps, socks, under-
wear, for all age groups will
again be needed. Articles of good
used clothing would also be
welcomed but not items that arc
in need of extensive mending or
hopelessly out of date in style.
Donations of gifts, toys and
clothing should be taken to the
local Bureau depot in the week of
December 9 to 13 if at all
possible, as sorting and distribu-
tion will be handled in the week
prior to Christmas. The
Children's Aid Society has
requested that no perishables be
donated as there arc no facilities
for storage, and in most cases
provision of the traditional dinner
is handled by cheque or purchase
voucher in lieu of a hamper.
Others have special diet needs
which necessitate individual pur-
chases by the recipient.

co-ordinators is: Godcrich and

Mr, Vintar was congratulated
by the board members for his
recent election as vice-president
on the board of governors of the
Ontario Association of Education
Administrative officials at the
sixth annual conference in
Ottawa.
Mr. Vintar said a metric
planning committee is being
formed as Thomas Wells,
Minister of Education has said
Ontario is ready to begin
implementation of the metric
system in the schools next year
with the aim that schools will be
fully converted to metric by 1978.
Mr. Vintar said that classes for
parents on the metric system will
be held as well as the classes for
for teachers.
Assistant Superintendant
Joseph Tokar reported on a
planning meeting he attended at
St. Lawrence School in London
last week attended by representa-
tives from Elgin, Oxford, London -
Middlesex and Huron -Perth
county Roman Catholic Separate
School Boards. 'l'hc Committee
made plans for Phase 2 on Focus
on Faith which is to be held on
Sunday, January 19 at the St,
Lawrence School. Attending will
be the board chairmen from the
four school boards and their
wives, as well as board members
and their spouses, members of
administration and their wives
and a Catholic parent couple
which each trustee is to take to
the day -long meeting.
At the meeting in January the
role of the trustees will be
explored by going directly to the
ratepayers, especially the catholic
parents to seek guidance and
support in order to provide the
hest possible catholic education
for the students,
Mrs. Patti Kennedy was hired
as a Grade 7 teacher and Mrs.
Catherine McCotter as a teacher,
both at St. Michael's School in
Stratford, starting after New
Years.
The board decided against
seeking municipalities to pay
school tax levies fo,Ir times yearly
Instead of the (,resent twice
yearly payments il, June and
December unless the County
Boards of Education also asked
for the quarterly payments. The
suggestion was made when (Inc of
the townships asked that the
twice yearly payments be
approved.
Following committee of the
whole meeting Michael Connolly,
board chairman said that the next
regular meeting niay be held on
December 18 and a special
meeting is scheduled for
December 11.

Editorials
The rules have changed
It's snowmobiling season again but for both the snowmobilers and
land owners, the rules have changed.
Harassed homeowners will probably find the legislation introduced
in the Ontario Legislature last week to be the greatest thing since
indoor plumbing.
The legislation tightens the screws on the irresponsible snowmobile
owners and drivers while at the same time, not unducly
inconveniencing the majority of thoughtful, law-abiding snowmobilers.
The legislation would prohibit those under 12 years of age from
using public trail. Helmets would be compulsory. Snowmobiles would
be prohibited from all serviced roads unless specifically permitted by
municipalities. in other words, unless your council passes a by-law
permitting use, snowmobiles can not travel on the streets and roads.
All snowmobiles will have to have registration numbers on both
sides of the machine. All snowmobile owners will have to have
insurance. Speed limits in all parks and 30•mile limit areas will be 15
miles per hour. Elsewhere, the speed limit will be 30 miles per hour,
though municipalities will be able to raise or lower this limit.
And, mercifully mufflers will be required on all machines.
But the item that probably brings relief to land owners is the one that
specifies that private landowners will not be liable for unintentional
dangers to snowmobilers resulting in accidents. In addition there will
be a fine of $500 for snowmobilers trespassing on private property
without written permission.
This part of the legislation in particular has been needed for a long
time, ever since the snowmobile explosion began.
Now, the next thousand miles is how to enforce the new laws once
they are approved.
Breeding doubt
and distrust
Following the Watergate scandals in the U.S. and other scandals
around the world, it seems no politician is safe to feel free of distrust.
Attempts have been made in the past week to stir up scandals in
Canada and now Canadians have the horrible feeling of not knowing
whether to trust one of their cabinet ministers or not.
The allegations of violence by the Seafarers International Union and
attempts to implicate Federal Labour Minister John Munro into the
mess have been in the headlines all week. There has been no concrete
evidence either against the union or the Minister but the seeds of doubt
have been sown by M.P.P. Morton Shulman. Demands have been
made for a federal inquiry but the government is stubbornly refusing.
It's reasons seem sound, that if an inquiry was held every time such
meagre evidence was raised by this or that politician, we'd be up to our
neck with enquiries. But at the same time, Canadians can also have the
sneaky worry in the back of their minds that the government is refusing
the enquiry to cover something up.
Mr. Munro's case isn't helped any by the fact he was in trouble over
another case of campaign donations just a few months ago. There was
no real proof against him then either, but circumstantial evidence from
two cases just may be enough to convince many that he is guilty of
something or other.
If there is wrong doing, it should always be rooted out. But at the
same time there is a responsibility on the part of the rooters; whether
Mr. Shulman or the newspapers, to make sure they have real evidence
before blowing up a case. As Globe and Mail columnist Scott Young
said Monday, the present case smacks too much of McCarthyism for
comfort. If Mr. Munro has done something wrong, the he should be
booted out and punished. But there is no evidence he did do anything
wrong; in fact the evidence Mr. Shulman released, rather than convict
him, seems to clear him. But because of the wide publicity and the
association of guilt, Mr. Munro's whole future in politics may be
reuined, even though he may be as pure as the driven snow.
We need responsibility in government. We also need that
responsibility from those who seek to be the watchdogs of

Some outlet needed
Many people, this time of the year, are looking for that special
"something special" kind of Christmas gift. That kind of gift has been
made in the past few months. Unfortunately, the buyers likely won't
meet the sellers and so many a good gift will not be bought.
What Blyth and area needs is an outlet for the work of the local
craftsmen. It isn't the kind of business one is likely, to get rich on
however, and so it is virtually impossible for a full-time business to be
kept going. in some areas, however, co-operative ventures among
craftsmen to sell their goods without having huge mark-ups tacked on
by businessmen who are trying to show a profit in a tricky business.
Blyth should be a good centre for such a co-operative craft shop
because it is already a major shopping centre for people who like
quality goods. By getting together, sharing costs and sharing the work
of keeping the shop running, our local craftsmen could find an outlet
for their work and our shoppers could gain another shopping outlet to
add more variety to shopping Blyth.
Perhaps, by next Christmas, someone will take on this task and we
will have a new shopping alternative in Blyth.

THE EDITOR:
THE SNOWBALL IN HELL
DIDN'T MELT
It seems that the "snowball in
hell" you referred to in your
editorial of November 13th did
in fact have a chance after all.
Could it be that people in general
are broader -minded, fairer -mind-
ed and more knowledgeable
about public affairs than you are
prepared to give them credit for?
The results of the election on
December 2nd show that the
people of Clinton did not take
advantage of the odds and elect
two representatives to the Board
of Education. Obviously it was not
a "lead pipe cinch" as you
maintained.
In your editorial you criticized
the trustees for not running to the
editor with items of information.
Trustees are elected to run the
educational system, not to seek
publicity. The trustees spend
many hours and drive many miles
in a year on educational problems
and the workings of the school
system. 1 suggest that because
such things are not controversial,
they wouldn't be published
anyway. Also, many of the things
trustees deal with as individuals
concern individual families and
their problems. Publicity on such
things is the farthest thought
from our mind. As far as the
workings of the Board as a whole
is concerned, you have a reporter

Report from Queen's Park
Bill on snowmobiles
introduced
BY MURRAY GAUNT
M.P.P. IHURON•BRUCEI
Legislation requiring quick
registration of snowmobiles, as
well as the licencing and testing
of drivers was introduced in the
Legislature this week.
The bill sets the minimum age
for driving snowmobiles on public
trails at 12 and would make
helmets compulsory.
It would also ban snowmobiles
from all serviced roads, except
those where drivers arc specific-
ally permitted by municipal
by-laws.
Among new proposals in the
bill are those requiring dealer to
register snowmobiles within six
days of sale and owners -to attach
registration numbers to both
sides of the machines.
The bill would ban snow-
mobiles from all provincial
highways and secondary roads
except those exempted by regula-
tions and would require drivers to
cross serviced roads at a right
angle,
Age restrictions would ban
drivers under 16 front all
highways, under 14 from crossing
highways, and under 12 from
public trails.
The legislation also offers
protection to property owners
from trespassers.
Driving permits may be issued
to those over 12 subject to
examinations.
*****
The Ontario Government has
disclosed details of its second
offer to provincial civil servants.
The province has moved away
from a two-year agreement,
offering instead wage increases of
between five per cent and 23
percent for 1975. The Civil
Service Association of Ontario has
been asking for 611/2 percent.
Want generating
station
Ontario Hydro, which has been
facing opposition lately to its
plans for constructing new lines
and generating stations, must
have been pleased when it
learned recently that the Atikokan
Industrial Development Commit-
tee is actually bidding for their
community to be selected for a
new generating station site in the
Northwest. An advertisement in
the Atikokan Progress sought
6,000 letters in support of the
station be sent to Premier Davis
and Energy Minister McKeough.
Tough new regulations propos-
ed by the Ontario Government to
eliminate fly-by-night travel
agents and tour operators have
been introduced in the Ontario
Legislature.
Under the bill, travellers
stranded abroad by bankruptcies
of travel agencies, tour operators
or airlines will get their money
back from a compensation fund
amounting to approximately $1
million made up of contributions
from the industry.
The legislation also calls for
licencing about 1,000 Ontario
travel agents and tour operators.
Airlines, bus companies and
other carriers selling package
tours which include services they
do not own such as hotel rooms
and meals will also require
licences,
The Ministry will appoint a
registrar to head the licencing
operation. Filing false informa-
tion would bring fines up to
$2,000 and a year in jail for
individuals convicted and up to
$25,000 in fines for companies.

Seems no settlement unless strike
WITH ADRIAN VOS
The other day I talked to former
labour union leader. He told me
that the directive he got, was to
belabour an issue out of propor-
tion so the rank and file of the
vocal would be all het up by the
time negotiations for a new
contract got under way. This was
done to retain interest in the
Magnesium
important
Dairy experts have long advis-
ed farmers to keep calcium and
phosphorus levels of their dairy
cattle in balance as an aid in the
r r' vention of milk fever. "Now,
we know magnesium is also a
critical factor in the prevention of
this disease," says H.J. Clapp,
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food dairy expert. "Without
proper levels of magnesium and
phosphorus, the dry cow is more
likely to get milk fever because
she cannot utilize the calcium she
consumes."
Milk fever usually strikes
within 48 hours of calving. If left
untreated, it causes progressive
paralysis, below normal tempera-
tures, and death.
"The results of last year's feed
tests show Ontario's average
dairy r' tion is short one-third of
an ounce if magnesium every
day," continues Mr. Clapp.
Approximately two or three
ounces of magnesium -enriched
mineral mixture each day and
forage fed at the rate of two
pounds of hay equivalent for
every 100 pounds of body weight
should provide the dry cow with
the calcium, phosphorus and
magnesium she needs. Ideally, 40
to 50 percent of her forage dry
matter should be from corn silage
and 50 to 60 percent from grass or
hay or grass forage, but not from
hay in legumes.
If a cow is prone to milk fever, a
massive injection of vitamiri D3
two to four days before the
expected calving date should help
to prevent the disease, This
injection must be repeated if the
cow does not calve in eight days.
Cuts fuel costs
by 15%
A $5,000 grant from the
Agricultural Research Institute of
Ontario has enabled Professor
George Raithby of the University
of Waterloo to develop a sap
preheater which, by making use
of steam, reduces fuel consump-
tion by 15 percent.
In the old style sugar shanties,
sap was introduced at 35 degress
F. to an open pan evaporator. Its
temperature had to be raised to
over 175 degrees before evapora-
tion would take place. As well as
using a lot of fuel, this method.
resulted in considerable steam
flowing around the sugar shanty.
Professor Raithby's sap preheater
makes use of this waste steam. A
cover is placed over the evapora-
tor in which copper tubing has
been installed. The 35 degrees F.
sap is run through the copper
tubing and heated by the steam to
190 degrees F. Any excess steam
is vented through the roof.
It takes about three gallons of
oil to produce one gallon of maple
syrup but Professor Raithby's
preheater cuts this consumption
to 21/2 gallons • a 15 percent
saving. Based on current oil
prices, the cost of the research
and equipment necessary will be
recovered aft'r about 15,000
gallons of maple syrup have been
produced - only 15 percent of the
annual Ontario crop.
union, for without interest, no
union or other organization can
survive.
His job in the union was at
stake, for no union, no job, In the
recent strike by meat and grain
graders and the illegal walk out
by meat inspectors we see some
of this after they went back to
work. An issue is made of the fact
that the Treasury Board disclosed
the terms of settlement before it
was voted upon. Apparently it is
all right if union leaders don't
want an acceptance vote, but if
the other side docs it, it is
considered improper influence. I
can't see the difference. If the
terms are acceptable they will
vote for it and if not they will vote
against, regardless of who tells
them what the terms arc.
More and more protests are
noted against the way labour
disputes are resolved. It appears
that no settlement can be reached
anymore unless there is a strike
period first. If it hurts literally
million of innocent people doesn't
seem to concern them at all. Take
this meat and grain strike for
example, The cost to the
consumer and to the producer/
consumer runs in the millions of
dollars in order to satisfy the
demands of a few hundred people
who may have. been artificially
fired up by their leaders,
There must be a better way and
there arc better ways to settle
disputes. How long will our
society tolerate this costly waste
of national productivity to
continue? We all have seen how
Britain is on the brink of
bankruptcy caused for a good deal
by irresponsible walkouts and
strikes. Are we going the same
route? Labour should have a fair
return on their services in balance
with the profits of the firms they
work for and the same applies to
small business men and farmers.
A good arbitration system can
make this balance work. As long
as there is greed on either side,
the balance must be imposed
from outside.

g
MoneY-g rubbin business to Pro Life Group
men ruin Christmas
BY REV. FRED H. CARSON
TRINITY ANGLICAN CHURCH
Each year as we approach Christmas, we are reminded of the
nearness of this Holy Day - not necessarily because we arc encouraged
to remember Christmas in its true context, but because the business
establishments are concerned that we should be aware of the exact
number of shopping days remaining. The commercial establishments,
whose advertisements plague the air waves continually from early
November, do not remind us that December 25 is the one day of the
year when we recall the birth of the Christ -child - the Prince of Peace •
the one through whom the world is offered Salvation. No, our stores are
little concerned about the truth that Christmas represents; they have
no apparent desire to enter into the truth that Christmas represents;
they have no apparent desire to enter into the TRUE Spirit of
Christmas but, rather, being crude business people, they are able to
see the great opportunity that such a tradition presents for increasing
their profits.
Christmas, as we know, was originally a pagan festival but was
'Christianized' about the fourth century, when a date was set aside to
mark the anniversary of the birth of the Son of God. It has alway>, been
characterized by joy and merrymaking and, I think, this is quite proper,
because as we celebrate this great Feast Day we recall that the hope
that is in Jesus was begun on the day He was born to a Virgin so long
ago. The knowledge that we have Salvation in Hine is the reason for
such Joy; but it is evident that this is not the Situation in our society -
when the entrepreneurs compete for our dollars.
Christmas is quickly returning to the pagan festival it once was and
we permit it to occur by participating in a situation which. is something
Tess that Christian. Instead of enjoying each other as families and
friends and rather than being caught up in the true JOY of the Festive
Season, we fall into the trap of believing that it would not be Christmas
without the customary exchange of gifts. i would suggest that in the
majority of cases we do not really experience Christmas because of
such the majority of cases we do not really experience Christmas
because of such an exchange, but simply enter into a 'gift giving
ceremony' which tends to teach us that we should expect to receive
something in return if we give a gift, and may be disappointed if that
gift doesn't meet our approval.
The Christian attitude is certainly one of giving • but giving with a
difference. The Christian gives of himself, without expecting anything
in return, He offers to share his resources with those who have need of
some aid; he offers himself in helping others; and he shares his Lord'
with others, because Jesus said, "it is more blessed to give than to
receive."
The true meaning of Christmas is giving; God gave His Son that we
plight have life and have it abundantly; and we have been
commissioned to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. This is
the type of giving we should want to share with our fellow man • the
type of giving that makes this particular time of the year a Holy Season.
Let's slake this December 25 a Christian Festival, by demonstrating
the Love of Jesus in our lives as we seek to answer our Lord's call 'To
follow Him.'

ing an equal respect and concern
for others in our community •
those handicapped physically, the
retarded, the emotionally ill, the

as the only apparent realistic
alternative to a family or social
problem, you end up doing a
disservice to the very objectives
which your organization enunci-
ates," he said.
The speaker outlined the
changing emphasis of the work of
the Children's Aid Society from
that of the child admitted into its
care to that of work with the child
in his own home.
Tracing the history of
Children's Aid Societies 171
Ontario from their formation by
local citizen groups concerned
about children it the late 1800's,
Mr. Heath stressed that the sante
concern which led to the first
formal programmes of child care
in Children's Aid Societies must
to -day be demonstrated by the
community providing alterna-
tive prevention programmes.
"No County should take pride
in the number of children a
Children's Aid Society has in its
care, unless it can honestly
conclude that placement was the
only alternative".
Mr. Heath stressed that a
whole range of preventive and
supportive programmes had to be
available in a community under
local health and social welfare
auspices aimed at strengthening
the family's ability to keep
children and dependants in the
home and in the loci I community.
He quoted from the Janson Task
Force Report commissioned by
the Province of Ontario, in
underscoring the need to examine
where and why much of the child
welfare dollar was being spent.
"it is a paradox of our child
welfare system that more re-
sources seen to be available for
keeping a child at risk in
alternative care facilities than for
keeping him at home with the
natural family."
Heath further cautioned the
Pro -Life Movement not to seize
upon adoption placement as an
alternative to abortion at the risk
of not examining why any child
need he be surrendered for
adoption in the first place.
"While I can appreciate the
anxiety of a childless couple who
are nov• going to have to wait two
years or more for the placement
of a baby on adoption, I would not
welcome a return to the late
1960's when most of adoption and
child care efforts were spent on
placing babies, forgetting the
more pressing needs of the older
child and the so-called "Hard to
Place" child."
The guest invited the assembl-
ed members to give action
consideration to all the inter-
related social problems of its local

ANN LANDERS
A note to runaways
DEAR ANN LANDERS: I am writing this letter in the hope that it
might bring runaway children to their senses, Please, Ann, print it.
DEAR RUNAWAYS: You almost always leave a note saying, "Don't
worry about me," Do you actually believe that your parents won't
worry about you just because you write a note asking them not to?
Don't you realize your mom and dad, brothers and sisters are lying
awake nights weeping, praying --hoping every day's trail will bring a
letter? Every time the phone rings they pray it will be a call from you.
The worst part of all is their feeling of helplessness. Police advise
parents against trying to find you. So they just sit and wait. Day after
day. Night after night.
Don't you runaways know you can't run away from your problems
because the problem is YOU, and you've taken it along? How much
better to have leveled with your parents and tried to Nvork things
out --talked to them about 1vhat bugs you. Sometimes a third party is
necessary to mediate the "war" --an understanding clergyman, a
teacher or even another parent. It certainly beats hitting the road and
letting yourselves in for God knows what.
Some of you runaways will say, "My folks don't want to hear from
me. They're glad I'm gone. I was nothing but trouble," This may be
true in one case out of 500. But to you other 499, I say, make a collect
telephone call tonight. You'll never know how happy they'll be to hear
your voice and welcome you home. —BEEN THROUGH IT
DEAR B.T.I.: Here's your letter and 1 hope the telephone companies
do a thriving business tonight. That call could make this Christmas the
'u 3t one in years.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: Anyone can improve his voice. Even you. So
please don't blame Iowa because you sound like a hog caller.
Iowa, and the Midwest in general, have produced some of the finest
speakers in America. They have no twang, slur, drawl, clip or chop—no
accent of any kind. It is the purist pronunciation of the English
language.
You owe Iowa an apology.
—CLEAR VOICE OF CLEARWATER,
IOWA
DEAR CLEAR --as mud: I love Iowa but you're wrong. Midwesterners
use a hard "r" which makes their speech distinctly harsher than
Southerners and Easterners.
You are probably right when you say, "Anyone can imfft'ove his
voice," but if I should suddenly start to speak in a cultivated manner no
one would recognize me.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: A while back you printed a letter from a
13 -yea' -old boy who wanted the right to drink and smoke, and make his
own decisions. 1 am 13 myself and personally I think that kid is crazy.
I'm no square, Miss Landers. I used to smoke when I was 11 but
quit after about three months. When it began to louse up my ability to
be good at endurance sports like swimming, track, football and
baseball I decided it was just plain stupid.
Will you please back me up? ...AGAINST KID'S LIB IN MICHIGAN
DEAR KID: Of course 1 will. You backed me up --and I appreciate it.

Willing Workers plan
pot luck supper
The Willing Workers of the
U.C.W. met at the church on
November 21 with 18 members
present.
The Devotional Period was in
charge of Miss Fox. She took as
her theme: "The Urge to Grow."
In her talk she referred to, and
quoted from Dr, Norman Peale's
article, "Go Forward with Confi-
dence," and said, "The Lord is
my strength, and He will give
inner peace."
Mrs. Holland spoke about Dr.
Wilbur Howard who was appoint-
ed Moderator of the United
Church at General Council in
Guelph last August. He is the
first non-white and first bachelor
to be elected to the office.
They decided to hold a pot luck
dinner at their next meeting on
Thursday, December 18. This
dinner will begin at 12:45. •
At this meeting there will be a
White Elephant Sale, It was
suggested that members bring

Increase in road budget seems certain
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
Residents of Huron County can
look forward to an increase in
the 1975 road budget if present
indications are correct, and
chairman of the Huron County
Road Committee Joe Dietrich has
warned there could consequently
be an increase in the mill rate for
road purposes in Huron in the
new year.
"We haven't increased the
county monetary share of our
budget for four years while most
of our costs have i►)ci eased by 60
percent and more," Dietrich
reported to council. "If we are to
mount any meaningful construc-
tion program we must have more
money.''
"We feel sure that some
councillors will be disappointed
that some particular project is not
scheduled as early as they would
like or for that matter isn't listed
at all," the chairman went on to
O.P.P.
investigate
accidents
During the week December 2 to
December 8, the following in-
vestigations were carried out by
officers at Wingham detachment;
Nine investigations with nine
persons charged under the Liquor
Control Act; Thirty-three charges
laid and twenty warnings issued
under the Highway Traffic Act;
Twenty investigations with one
charged laid under the Criminal
Code.
On Tuesday, December 3,
Michael P. Eisenhofer of Wing -
ham was involved in a single car

of Macintosh Street, Turnberry
Township. There were no injuries
and damages were estimated at
$300.
On Thursday, December 5,
James A. Brown of R.R. 2, Blyth
was involved in a single car
accident on Highway 4, north of
the Junction of Huron Road 20.
No one was injured, and damages
were estimated at $1000.
On Friday, December 6,
Donald C. Burley of R.R. 4,
Wingham and Norman D. Cook
of Belgraye were involved in a
collision on Highway 4, south
of the Maitland River Bridge,
East Wawanosh Township. No
one was injured, and damages
were estimated at $1500.
On Saturday, December 7,
Ronald McIntosh of Brucefield
and David Thompson of RR 1,
Wingham were involved in a
collision on Highway 4, south of
the junction of Huron Road 20.
There were no injuries, and
damages were estimated at $700,
Christopher BKigham of Sarnia
was involved in a single car
accident on Highway 4, north of
the Junction of Huron RoaJ 25.
He was not injured, and damages
were estimated' at $375.
Beatrice J. Leishman of RR 5,
Brussels was involved in a single
car accident on Sideroad 15-16,
Concession 5-6, Morris Township
when the car she was driving
went into the west ditch, down an
embankment and struck a log.
There were no injuries, and
damages were estimated at $850.
On Sunday, December 8, Betty
M, Bell of RR 1, Wroxeter was
involved in a single car accident
on Huron County Road 7, west of
Sideroad 15-16 when she went off
the roadway into the south ditch,
There were no injuries and
damages were estimated at $150.
Eva M. Ferguson of RR 1,
Clifford was injured as a result of
_a single car ; ccident on County
Road 7, west if Sideroad 15-16
when the car she was driving
went off the north side of the
road, struck a tree and rolled over
on its roof, Damages to the
vehicle were estimated at $1700.
report, "We can only say that if
sufficient funds were available we
could rebuild every gravel county
road in the county in the next five
years, But since the provincial
share is fixed at contributing
about 60 percent of the cost
toward nine percent of our road
construction deficiencies each
year, the county would have to
raised the balance at the local
level,"
"in other words, many projects
would be completed without a
provincial contribution and would
require us to raise an additional
12 million dollars over the next
five years or 2.4 million per
year," the chairman said, "This
is more than three times the
amount we levy now and would
increase our road levy to 43,3
mills from the present 10 mills -
obviously not practical or
possible."
Long range plans for road
construction and resurfacing were
presented to council as well as a
forecast of bridge construction.
All were approved by members.
Top priority for road construc-
tion was County Road 19 between
Ethel and Highway 86 for a
distance of six miles ($360,000
estimated cost); County Road 30
between Lakelet and Clifford for a
distance of 5.6 miles (300,000);
and County Road 1 between
Benmillcr and Carlow for a
distance of 3.5 miles ($275,000),
The first three items on a long
resurfacing list are County Road
25 between Highway 21 and
Carlow (3 miles - $88,000);
County Road 5 from Mount

FOR MORE BARGAINS THAN YOU BARGAINED FOR
It's election time again
BY BILL SMILEY
ABOUT tthis time of year,
every year, all sorts of queer
things come creeping out of the
woodwork and the underbrush
and proceed to create a.storm in a
saucer. I'm referring to municipal
elections.
It begins back in October, when
the local paper starts writing
trenchant editorials urging people
to offer themselves for public
office. This is somewhat like
urging people to offer themselves
as volunteer guinea pigs to see
whether or not the guillotine is
working.
But any weekly editor worth his
salt will be able to demand the
paradox of "new blood" and
"solid experience" on the town
council or whatever.
These editorials have almost no
effect whatever, except to fan the
tiny ember in the occasional guy
or "al who has a secret ambition
to be called "Councillor" or
"Alderperson," or even "Your
Worship," and to be on the
"inside," helping "shape the
future of our community."
Then the papers, in a creditable
effort to drum up some interest,
begin to interview the incumbent
members of town council, public
utilities commission, board of
education, and dog catcher, find
out who is going to stand again
for office.
This probing also has meagre
results, at first, Most of those
asked reply that they haven't yet
made up their minds, or that it's
time for someone else to take on
their exhausting work load, or
that they have found the work
very rewarding, but...
Behind this smokescreen of
generalities, the potential
candidate, in many cases, really
means, "I'll see how the wind
blows"; or, "Yeah, I'll stand
again, if I'm assured a seat by
acclamation"; or, "Wait till I see
how tough my opposition is."
This is not so in all cases, to be
fair. Some small-town politicians
have a rare combination of
honesty and pugnacity, love a
fight, and come out swinging at
the bell. These are often elected
by acclamation, because they
scare off potentially excellent
candidates who don't want to
become involved in a verbal
donnybrook.
But behind all the smoke of
municipal elections, there is, in
most cases, very little fire.
Occasionally, there is a stand-up
slugging match in which person-
alities, mud, and other such items
are slung about with reckless
abandon, while the public looks
on with glee.
As a rule, however, the people
elected are chosen for public
office not because they are
honest, fearless crusaders for the
taxpayer, but because they are
not quite as bad as the
alternatives who are running for
the job.
Many a man, or woman, has
been elected because nobody else
wanted the dirty job. And many a
strong and capable candidate has
been defeated for these very
qualities. He has trod on too
many toes in an effort to get some
action,
More and more women are
running for various municipal
offices, which is a very good thing
indeed. Women can be quite
ruthless when it comes to getting
things done, and arc much less
apt to sit around and bicker or
gossip, when on a committee,
than are men.
Then there is a certain
loathsome type who wants to be
elected so that he or she can go to
meetings. They usually have a
rotten home life. They love
meetings. They adore points of
order, addenda, and amendments
to- the motion. They make a brave
show of voting against all motions
except their own, which are
usually to silly, they are almost
never passed.
Then there are the strong,
silent types. They arc often
elected because their strength
and silence arc regarded as depth
and wisdom, when they are really
just stupidity. These people say,
at meetings, "Well, I'm not sure
as I understand all the ins -and -
outs of this here thing, but I'll go
along with the majority,"
Even some young people - 18
and 19 -year-olds - are getting into
the act. I'm not too happy about
this. From what I've seen of this
age group, including my own
kids, I clon't particularly want
therm to have anything to do with
spending my money.
And of course there are a few
people, very few, who are
interested in a supplement to
their income. It's surprising how
much a town councillor drags
down in these inflationary times.
That's why I got into the
business. Oh, yes, I was on
council for two years. Unopposed,
Acclamation, With two mort-
gages and two kids, that $75 a
year pay as councillor looked
mighty good.
Each year, I had a moment of
terror when the committees were
being struck. I was in a panic in
case they put me on the Public
Works Committee, I didn't know
pot -hole from a catch -basin.
After two years, I resigned
owning to a conflict of interest. 1
was interested in being a good
councillor. My wife was interest-
ed in having me home at least one
evening a week. As in most of our
conflicts, she won.
In closing, I salute all the
people I haven't mentioned in this
column: the dedicated, hard-
working, self-sacrficing people
who were elected to office and
have to put up for the next year
with the whining and grumbling
of the rest of us, Hang in there.
We need you.

Behind the scenes
In a world dominated by women, who needs Women's Lib?
BY KEITH ROULSTON
There is no bigger issue these
days than Women's Lib. The
sugar prices, the cost of food, the
starving of Africa and Asia,
inflation, all these are major
causes of conern but they come
and they go. Women's Lib has
been with us for a good long time
now, and it will be with us long
after sugar and food prices go
down or at least after people get
tired of complaining about them,
It's not that the problems of
women are any more important

Mrs. J. Trentleman of Kitchener
and Mrs. James Kitching of
Stratford.
than those of the starving around
the world, it's just that there are
more women; they're right here,
not half way around the world;
and they're more vocal.
Frankly, 1 don't know what all
the fuss is about. I've known
women were equal to men ever
since 1 was old enough to know
that snow came down from the
sky and the Toronto Argonauts
lost football games, In fact, it took
me a lot longer to discover that
men could be equal to women.
Like most boys, 1 grew up
thinking of mother as the boss.
She was always there while father
was off working. It was she who
laid down the rules and enforced
them. It was she who did the
important things like cooking
dinner and mending my socks;
and let's face it, those are the
most important things in the
world to a pre-schooler.
Now when it came to school,
the women dominated again. The
most important figure was, of
course, the teacher who towered
over us, administering knowledge
and discipline. It was the teacher
who knew everything thus im-
pressing the impressionable
youngsters. It was the teacher
who had that ominous weapon,
the strap in the desk drawer that
had us in constant fear.
And as if that wasn't enough to
impress on us the importance of
women in the world, that was the
fact that it was always the girls in
the class who scored the top
marks. It was a wontan-dominat-
ed world.
It went on that way for years;
all the teachers were women and
all the top marks were earned by
girls. If we had been as psychotic
as many of today's women's
libbers, we boys would have
suspected a conspiracy.
The only sign of a male in our
school was the principal and the
inspector and even the lofty
position these men held didn't
quite make up for the dominance
of women in the rest of our world.
By the high school years, of
course, there were getting to be
more male teachers around, but it
was still the girls, those darned
smart girls, who always took the
top marks.
By college there was even a
majority of the teachers who were
men, but still the girls who
captured the top, marks, In
addition they also managed to be
among the best writers in the
journalism class, They were as
tough -headed and tough-minded
as any man, and could swear just
as well, too (in fact some of them
could swear better). There was
' even a woman as head of the
student's council at our college,
though women were outnumber-
ed by about seven to one in the
school.
Then, of course, I got married
and really learned who's boss.
And then came children, both
female, and both let me know
constantly who's boss. Even the
two cats are female (well one is
now a question mark), and both
keep me on the run.
The newspaper business, pro-
bably more than any other, has a
high degree of equality between
the sexes. I know • of several
women who are editors and
several others who are
publishers. They're tops in their
field. They're bosses over many
men. They don't have any
inferiority complexes.
And that, 1 think is the biggest
road block that stands in the way
of women in this world: the
inferiority complex. Yes, regret -
ably, there arc still some biggoted
nen in high positions who would
rather give a high position to their
pet cocker spaniel than to a
woman. But their number is
shrinking all the time and rather
than batting their heads against a
wall trying to change them, smart
women should go where they will
be welcome, and wait while the
old guard dies off.
Nearly any business run by
smart businessmen (sorry busi-
ness persons) will have to
welcome both men and women to
the top positions or it will soon fall
behind those other businesses
that are willing to make use of
both halves of the population.
But the really liberated women
aren't worried abut all this. They
don't care about the stupid little
things like the term chairman
instead of chair person, They're
to busy being liberated to worry
about liberation, They're too busy
teaching or writing, or running a
company or whatever, to give a
hoot about the little nagging
things that most of the women's
Lib publicity hits at.
They know that they can do
more by setting a good example
to other women than by picketing
or giving loud speaches.
The Voters of Blyth
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for your
support at the polls Dec. 2 and
hope I will be worthy of the trust
you have given me.
On behalf of my wife and family
I wish you all a very Happy
Christmas and a prosperous New
Year.
