They had been acclaimed at an organizational meeting in December. The steering committee composed of Alex Corrigan of RR 1, Bluevale, Clarence McDonald of Exeter, Mrs, Marion Zinn of RR 2, Lucknow and .Chairman Shortreed presented the 'following committees which were approved by the board: •Education Committee: John Elliott, Blyth; E. Cayley Hill, Godcrich; Mrs, Mollie KUnder, Seaforth; Charles Rau, RR 2, Zurich; Charles Thomas, Brussels; Mrs. Dorothy Wallace, Goderich; and Mrs. Marion Zinn, RR 2, Lucknow. *Management Committee: J. P. Alexander Wingham; Kenneth Cooke, Clinton; Alex Corrigan; Harry Hayter, RR 2, Dashwood; Clarence McDonald; Robert Peck, RR 1, Zurich; and John Westbrook, RR 2, Clinton, Mrs. Kunder was elected chairman of the Education Committee and Mrs. Wallace vice-chairman by the committee .....„.. , Clarence McDonald was elected chair- man of the Management Committee and John Westbrook, vice-chairman by the committee members, In his inaugural address Mr. Shortreed welcomed the three new members, John Elliott, Charles Thomas and Robert Peck, and spoke of the improved relations with teachers and a small board committee working well together. He,said policies must be under review and up-to-date, special education classes for those with learning difficulties continued and he hoped a committee could be named to study what can be done for those students with exceptional abilities to promote their skills and capabilities. Mr. Shortreed said the chairman's advisory committee was important and helpful and he said he would like to see it enlarged to five members, with the immediate past chairman on the board which would give some continuity to the committee, Mr. Shortreed said there were still problems with communication between the board and the public. He commended the weekly newspapers' press reporter for the work she did in providing a detailed report on what happens at the meetings. Mr. Shortreed said, "1 don't know how we're going to inform the public of what we do if they don't read the papers and if they don't come to meetings to hear what we Mr. Shortreed suggested that perhaps the editors of the weekly papers and the daily paper be invited to attend one or two meetings a year as a possible solution of the communication problem. Mr. Shortreed suggested that the format of the meetings should be considered as last year's chairman, Cayley Hill recommended in his farewell address as chairman at the December meeting. He asked that the trustees take an active part in the meetings, to be frank and open and work as a team. He said that any trustee who was not satisfied with the action taken on any problem could ask that it be re -opened at a future meeting. He recounted how one trustee last year had been defeated twice on one motion at a meeting and that when it was brought up again at a later date had succeeded in having his proposal approved. The next regular meeting of the board will be held on January 20 at 2 p.m. An informal discussion in camera following the adjournment of the meeting, VOLUME 85 • NO. 02 Council names committees for 1975-76 Committees for the coming two-year WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1975. terns of council were named at the inaugural meeting of Blyth Village council on Monday night.

Parking problems concern new council Main street parking problems were the main concern in a rather quiet inaugural meeting ,of Blyth Village Council on Monday night. Council learned that it would be one to two months yet before "no parking" signs were erected at the intersection of Queen and Dinsley Streets. Council had passed a resolution calling for the signs last summer, but the Ministry of Transporta- tion and Communications never got around to putting them up. Now, it was learned, the new council had to pass another resolution and it had to be approved the proper legal sources within the Ministry before the signs will be installed. The corner has been an area of concern ever since the Ministry order the old "no parking" signs pulled down two years ago. People have parked their cars right up the corner, blocking off the sight -lines for drivers crossing or coming onto Queen from Dinsley. There have been several accidents at the corner. Council also discussed the possibility of erecting either stop signs or yield signs on Wellington and King Streets were they intersect Morris Street. There have been several accidents in this arca also. The new members of council, however, were surprised to learn that council had no authority to erect such signs. They can only be erected under the authorization of the Ministry. Several bids to have streets declared stop streets in the past have been foiled by the Ministry. Council agreed, however, to give it another try. Concern was also expressed about day -long parking on main street. Some employees of local businesses, it was pointed out, leave their cars parked on main street all day while they go to work. This takes up parking space on a main street that is already short of parking spaces, During the Christmas seasons shoppers complained about not being able to find a parking space, Council decided to advertise, asking people not to leave their cars on main street. The council also decided to undertake a complete parking review with the hope of having the Ministry line off the parking spaces once spring arrives. Some concern was also expressed about the safety of children going to and from school. Councillor Helen Gowing wondered if a school crossing guard program had ever been considered. Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh told of helping children a number of times across Queen Street at the corner of . Dinsley because of the danger from low-flying salt transport trucks. Mr. Walsh said the Ontario Provincial Police have been trying to catch some of the speeding truckers, but as soon as they nab one truck with radar, the driver broadcasts a warning to all other truckers in the area on his citizens band radio which nearly all the trucks have. Truckers complain that if they have to gear down to go through town it takes several miles to regain full speed. Councillors felt this might be a hardship for the truckers but was better than having someone killed in town. Stratford man heads separate school board BY WILMA OKE A 30 -year old Stratford man, David Teahen, 103 Nile Street, Stratford, was acclaimed chairman of the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School at the Inaugural meeting in Seaforth Monday night. Mr. Teahen, who was vice-chairman last year, succeeds Michael Connolly of RR 3, Kippen. Arthur Haid, RR 4, Listowel, was acclaimed vice-chairman. Mr. Teahen who is beginning his fifth year on the board, said in his inaugural address that the board is starting its seventh year of operation and has provided continual improvements in educational opportunities and facilities through the efforts of the board, administration and staff, Mr. Teahen concluded that the board will deal conscientiously with all its duties to benefit the catholic education in the system. Four new members took the oath of office along with the ten trustees re-elected. The new members are Ronald Marcy, Stratford; John O'Drowsky, St. Marys; Greg Fleming, RR 2, Crediton; and William Kinahan, Wingham. At the next regular meeting on January 13 the various committees will be named. Rev. Anthony Durand, pastor of St. Boniface Church, Zurich, and Dean of the Huron -Perth Deanery, spoke to the trustees on what makes a good teacher in a separate school. He said in the early grades, up to Grade 6, it is important to make sure the schools are religious, that Christ dominates both teacher and students. He said if the mother has been devout and has a love of Christ, then her child has been shaped and given standards. He said a good teacher has a standard that "nothing is dearer to that teacher than Christ". For the later grades• -6 to 8, it is necessary that the teacher knows theology and the doctrines, as well as being devout, to be able to defend the faith, He advised the trustees that if it is possible for the board to send teachers for religious training he would recommend only one place—Divine Word Centre in London. Little Theatre group plans Blyth Little Theatre will hold a meeting in Memorial Hall Theatre on Monday evening to plan for the rest of the season. The meeting will make plans for the corning productions and will also give the group and chance to survey the needs of Memorial Hall with an eye to future productions. future productions All members are asked to attend and if possible to recruit a new member to bring along. Anyone interested in helping with the group is invited to attend the meeting at 8 p.m. Because -of retirement of some members and the departure of members for other areas of the country, new members are badly needed, both for on-stage and back -stage positions, PG. 1 THE BLYTH STANDARD. JANUARY 8, 1975. Some people in the village would Wee to see all sidewalks plowed. This may be too much to hope for, but surely we can at least keep from blocking some sidewalks like this one on Queen street while we are plowing others. Blyth man involved in Auburn accident An accident on the outskirts of Auburn sent a Goderich man to hospital on Monday night. Stanley Dennis of Goderich, age 65, was driving 'a car which was in collision with a truck owned by Snei! Feed and Supplies of Westfield. The truck, with a tractor on the back, was driven by John Wharton, 27, of Blyth, The accident took glace on the eastern outskirts of the village of County Road 25 on a icy stretch of road. Mr. Dennis received head, chest and leg injuries and was taken to University Hospital, London, Mr. Wharton was uninjured although the tractor on the truck broke its moorings and crashed into the rear of the cab. Provincial Police from Goderich investigated the accident, Mrs. Phelan, high lady at euchre The regular weekly euchre was held at Blyth Memorial Hall on December 30 with 11 tables at play. High lady for the evening was Mrs. Phelan. High man was Gordon Murray. Low lady was Mrs. Winnie Vincent and low man was Ed Brooks. The lady with the most lone hands was Mrs. Harvey Sillib, Ted Flunking had the most lone hands for the men. Blyth Tykes win The Blyth Tyke A's met with the Belgrave Tykes on Friday, January 3. Blyth defeated Belgrave 8-1. Darrin Richmond and Ken Howatt lead the scoring with three goals each and Todd MacDonald and Bradley Lyon each scored one. Pat Cronin played excellent throughout the game stopping some close goals. This 'n' That Local girls on television Those interested in local entertainment might want to watch the Big Al talent .hour this Sunday when some local girls will take part. The girls recently went to Kitchener for the taping of the show which will be shown Sunday at noon. Taking part were Catherine Battyc, Gail Caldwell, Karen Caldwell and Juanita Draper, The show is on channel 13. *** Following Monday night's council session the councillors toured Memorial Hall theatre to see the work of the crew that has just finished renovating the building, There were several minor complaints such as improperly repaired seats which were damaged during construction and incomplete redecorating of areas which were damaged during the renovation, but on the whole the building looked very attractive. Already there seems to be a good deal of interest in using the theatre. The big problems seem to be too many people wanting to use the theatre and the down- stairs hall at the same time. The fire escape, it is hoped, will soon be in operation allowing full use of the building. *** There have been a number of wolf sightings recently in the Westfield area, One farmer reported losing a number of new born calves to the preditors. Throughout the holiday season a number of hunting parties have been organized among local hunters. The wolves, however, have proven an elusive target. To date only three have been bagged. *** The Farm Show, the play about farm life particularly in the Huron County aiea, will appear on television this Sunday. The show, which was adapted from the very successful theatre performance will bu shown on CBC (channels 8 and 10) at 9 p.m. on the program called Performance. The show was performed with the original cast at Blyth in the spring of 1973. *** One local house is likely to corning down soon in Blyth. Council voted this week to proceed with the demolition of the old Davis home on McConnell street unless the David estate acts within 30 days to remove or renovate the building. The building was condemned last fall but the estate as done nothing to alleviate council's concern for the safety of children playing around the building, Some other property owners have been warned about the safety of their buildings as well. ************************************** *********************** sumNEss DIRECTOWT REID & PETERSON Chartered , Accountants 218 JOSEPHINE ST.

There ;s one ray of hope, In North America the winter wheat crop looks good. If we don't get too much winter kill and if we get adequate moisture and if we get no flooding in critical times and if not too many snowmobilers drive over it, packing the snow and killing the wheat, we may come up with a good crop. ***** If there are still some people left who think that the farmer is getting rich at the expense of the other consumer, here is some- thing to think about, Last August, 14 ounces of canned peas cost 29c, The farmers share was 3'/:c. Fourteen ounces of tomatoes were 31 c. The farmer got 2.6c. Kernel corn was 361/2c: farmers share, 2.lc. Carrots, 25c: for the farmer, 0.8c. How's that grab you. ***** The inflation, it hits us all, but it hits some more than it docs others. 1 think everyone agrees that people on small fixed incomes arc hardest hit, The average consumer price index rose last year about 12 percent. This includes such luxuries as soft drinks which arc classified as foods. However the average farm input rose by 18 percent. So, if you read that farm income last year sored for the Canadian farmer, and you will, remember that his outlay soared even more, So his net income will be lower, No tying of the cost of living for the farmer's income, ***** You may have read in the daily papers that air pollution from cars and from factories causes white bean crops severe losses (Up to 60 percent). How it has come to my attention that nearly all crops suffer from this cause, including, rhubarb, corn, onions, potatoes, radishes, spinach, tobacco and tomatoes. As we can't move the land, isn't it time that we at least stop industry from moving on the land? There's lots of room on/pour or no -food producing land, Eugene Whelan and William Stewart attend UCO's annual banquet The two ministers of agricul- ture, Federal Minister Eugene Whelan and Provincial Minister, William Stewart attended United Co-operatives of Ontario's annual banquet following the annual business meeting at the Royal York Hotel December 23. At the meeting, highlights of UCO's financial year 1973-74 were reviewed for the more than 400 delegates from across Ontario. UCO's sales volume reached over $230 million this year, up from $166 last year. The net savings almost doubled to $8.5 million. Income taxes amounted to about $2 million dollars. This year, UCO is returning to its members more than $4.5 million to be paid part in cash and part in common shares. It is through this co-operative technique of allocating cash refunds that we believe a co-op member can find some relief from inflation. Guest speaker at the business meeting was Eugene Whelan. In his speech to the delegation he Cow -Beef. Stabilization Program BY S. J. PAQUETTE ASSOCIATE AGRICULTURAL REPRESENTATIVE A support price of $23,21 a hundredweight has been esta- blished for Grade DI, D2, D3, and D4 cows under the Cow -Beef Stabilization Program in effect until April 30, Farmers will be eligible under the program for a deficiency payment on cows sold at the rate of two percent of their herd per month up to a maximum of five percent of the herd, Owners of small herds will receive the deficiency payment on a maximum of two cows marketed at any time during the program period and the percentage limita- tion will not apply. All cows marketed between November 16 and December 13 will be eligible for the payment. The price of $23.21 is 100 percent of the weighted average price for the past five years at the Toronto, Calgary and Winnipeg markets. If the average price for the period of November 16th to April 30th falls below that figure, a deficiency payment'will be made directly to producers on their eligible cows. The rate of payment will be the same to all sellers regardless of the price received for individual animals. Application forms will be available after April 30th, 1975 if a deficiency payment is necessary. said "There are two ways that a well-run Co-op can help Canadian farmers keep being the most efficient in the world. One way is obvious. Coop buying and selling give the individual farmer a lot more power in the marketplace than he has himself. The second way Co-ops can inject efficiency into the farm community, is through their structure. Farmers working in groups exchange and develop ideas." Whelan also emphasized that 1 "Co-ops will continue to grow if they are quick to answer to changing needs of society." UCO has been sensitive to the changing needs of its members. To do this, it has recently launched a new "Town and Country" program, completed construction of a huge million dollar distribution centre in Mississuaga, and is participating with other co-operatives in the construction of one of the largest fertilizer plants in North America, cdicine Hat, Alberta. the CO-OP kil • COOP THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 8, 1975. PG. 3. RURAL ROUNDUP Choose your new plow system carefully. Look closely at the available sires and buy the one best for your farm, advises Professor R.W. Irwin of the School of Engineering at the Ontario Agricultural College. "Avoid plow bottoms so wide they may waste energy and bring stones to the surface unnecessarily." Ten years ago most plow bottoms were about 14 inches wide, explains Professor Irwin, Now, many are 16 inches, some are 18 inches and recently one manufacturer began offering a plow bottom 20 inches wide. These wide plow bottoms are sometimes necessary because the wide tractor tires common today do not fit narrow furrows and the power of the large modern tractor can be fully utilized only by a plow with wide bottoms, Manufacturers prefer them because, for the same total width of cut, they can build plows with fewer parts. Farmers, especially those who grow corn, like wide -bottomed plows because they give greater trash clearance. However, wide -bottomed plows arc not above criticism. "As a rule, plow bottoms turn the best furrow when the depth of plowing is about half the cut," says Prof. Irwin, "When deep plowing is unnecessary, energy is wasted by the wide -bottomed pI^w which turns an,eight- to ten -inch deep furrow. Besides bringing up stones due to the deep plowing, the wide -bottomed plow also leaves larger soil clods in the field, making more secondary tillage necessary." SNOW CAN BRING DOWN A BUILDING It's all well and good for a farmer to adopt new building ideas, but if he attempts to 'transplant' a design from the south to the snowbelt without structural changes, he could be in for trouble. An agricultural engineer with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, H.E. Bell man, warns farmers not to "get lulled into a sense of security that buildings in use in Ontario's southwest are good for all areas of the province." "We've had lighter -than -normal snowfall in the past few years, but there's no evidence to show that this will continue," he points out. When designing and locating any type of agricultural structure, the farmer should remember that the carrying capacity of all rafters should handle the heaviest snow loads in his area. The varying climatic conditions within Ontario are particularly evident in the winter. As a result of these differences, engineers have developed an accurate guide of snowload requirements in the province. The guide outlines the reco s cndations for building construction: a building in Bruce Co y, for example, must be capable of withstanding three to .ur times the snow load of the same building in Essex County. u • CO-OP offers all yoL Sep in effective rat and mouse control.., • pellets or meal • as bait s ations or thro -packs • warf in based for si ive results • economy and onvenience in one and 3 lb. box 25 and 50 Ib. drum Feed IIstock... not rats co.op UCOB GR E 887-645 r 7.2711 /r Farming Frontiers '75 —the year's most outstanding farm- oriented film program—is corning your way.

Much has been accomplished in the past. Much more needs to be done in the future. The past council did a good job ,ttending to the things that must be done: planning for sewers, getting an official plan work at least on the agenda working for senior citizens housing. Planning for future growth with new streets and drains. All concrete steps. Our new council needs to continue this progress, but should also be taking a deeper look at the needs of Blyth. One thing that is needed is a concentrated look at the quality of life available in the village from the cradle to the grave. Just how good a place is Blyth to live in when you take a hard look at it? Starting at the lower end of the scale, for instance, what about facilities for the care of the children of working mothers. Like it or not, more and more mothers every year are going out to work, Some are lucky enough to find good baby sitters and at a cost that can be afforded. Others do not. And even the best baby sitter is just that, a baby sitter, not someone who has the time and knowledge to enrich the childhood of tomorrow's leaders. With proper care, these children might do much to make the world a better place in the future. If, on the other hand, these children spend the important formative pre-school years with adequate care, we may produce a generation that will be a liability all its life. We can't continue to disregard the psychological effects on these children. Today funds for day care centres are becoming more and more readily available. Wingham has such a centre. East Wawanosh is trying to set one up at Belgrave. Perhaps, if government grants can not be found, at least some sort of co-operative daycare centre could be started. At least this problem should be investigated thoroughly. There is also the problem of recreation, The thought of more recreatoin costs may make the taxpayer wince (after all a good portion of the tax bill is alread being channeled into recreation) but we must seek to correct the weaknesses of the present system, The present recreation dollar is being spent on a relatively small portion of the population. We need a program of recreation that serves a much wider section of the public: those who do not play hockey, broomball, figure skate or swim. There is much that can be done at little additional cost. We need to think more about the female segment of the population. We need to think of the adults with inexpensive programs like horseshoes, or perhaps lawn bowling. How about tennis courts to serve both old and young? How about making greater use of the school gymnasium for recreation programs? How about starting the nightschool program of teaching crafts that was popular several years ago before interest was slowly lost? How about helping organize an art club for the many people in the area who seem to be interested in art? There is need for drop-in type centres: one for teenagers to give them an interesting place to go rather than sit on street corners and one for senior citizens (both men and women) whore they can always find company when perhaps they're feeling a little lonely; where they can find someone to talk to when they have problems. ' There are many more aspects of life in our community that need to be examined. Council, of course, must look at all these needs with an eye on the budget. But, as stated earlier, many of these things don't have to cost that much money. Many can be achieved through council's working with local groups like the teen -town or Swinging Seniors who already have interests in these areas. Someone, however, needs to take the initiative and council seems to be in the best position to do this. Hopefully, council will decide to form a committee to take a good look at these areas and try to give us the most we can afford. We need action, not words Rev. David Ragg, the Anglican Bishop of Huron joined the list of those hitting out at land -use policies (or lack of policies) in Ontario on the weekend. Bishop Ragg called the policies "perfectly rotten" in what must be the understatement of the decade. But though the Bishop's comments are welcome, it's time we had more than words. We've been talking for years about the foolishness of buying good land under factories, houses and shopping centres. Now is the time to do something about it. Governments are asked to do many things they can't really do, but here is one case where the government alone can change the direction of growth in Ontario. The provincial government has been making noises for years about curling the growth of cities like Ontario which are located in prime agricultural areas, Yet rather than clamp down completely and provide an alternative area for growth, the government recently coniinitted stili more land to housing in Toronto. The provincial government was instrumental in the decision,to locate the new giant airport in Pickering, thus ensuring still further growth in the Toronto area. When the government did decide to create a new city, they plunked it right down in one of the most productive farming areas in the country. What we drastically need is tough, hard-headed, farsighted leadership. What we've got is a government that seems hopelessly afraid of losing votes in the heavily populated areas of the province so rather than do what is right, it chickens out and allows more growth in an area already too heavily populated. We need guts but we've got a gutless government afraid of its political neck; ready to sacrifice the future for another term in office. What we need is a government willing to make a committment for the future; opposition parties that are smart enough not to try to make political hay out of such a decision, and more support from community caders like Bishop Ragg. That, it seems these days, is a tall order. Hill Smiley BY BILL SMILEY THIS is the time of the year for "out with the old, in with the new," 1 honestly did try to do this. But it was hopeless. 1 got bogged down, right up to the navel, in my first attempt to get rid of the old. I decided, as my year-end project, to clean up my writing desk. This may sound simple, a mere 15 minutes of sorting and tidying. But you are not acquaint- ed with my writing desk. Perhaps you remember the myth about Hercules cleaning out the Augean stables, They were filled with cattle, hadn't been cleaned in decades and there was a veritable mountain of you -know - what. A formidable task, He did it without even using a pitch -fork. He diverted the flow of two rivers through the stables, and lol they were cleansed. That was child's play compared to cleaning off my desk, and also I ani no Hercules. On each side of my typewriter sits a teetering stack of papers that reaches approximately to niy head, when I am sitting at my machine, Huddled between them, like a sparrow between two huge The pond in Winter Clean-up time tomcats, squats the typewriter, Occasionally, one of the piles, like a glacier, slides majestically to the floor. My wife picks up the mess, and muttering under her breath, jams it back on the desk. She's forbidden to disturb any- thing there, or even to dust it. That's the main reason the piles are two feet high. I do allow her to dust the front of the desk, where the drawers aril, Trouble i:,, she's so annoyed she piles the stuff back in any old order. This causes a problem when I decide to clear the desk at year's end. I pick up the first letter. it is from a farmer's wife, compli- menting me on my- stand for the beef farmer. It is dated 1962. That suggests that the time I cleaned my desk was in 1961, It also poses questions. What was my stand on the beef farmer in 1962? I'll bet it was a little sweeter than my attitude toward sirloin steak prices today. Was the letter ever answered? Who knows? So I put it in the stack labelled Who Knows. This turns out to be the biggest of the many piles I lay out on the floor. The other piles bear such esoteric labels as: To Be Dealt With - Sometime; Needs Further Study; Look Into This; Silly Old Cranks; To Be Answered Definitely In the New Year; Complimentary; Over The Hill; • and so on, The second largest stack is called Miscellaneous because i don't know where else to put these items. Under the last item gd such things as: a passport application form; a bill from the Strand Palace, London, England; a Christmas card from my insurance agent; a test for Grade 11; an offer to do the Smiley family tree for only $3,00 (must have been a small family); and a reminder that I am due at veteran's hospital for a chest X-ray (which I forgot all about). 1 have a very definite way of handling these piles.

Although my life hasn't been easy, I found it challenging indeed, There is no greater feeli►!g, to my mind, than fighting to achieve something that some- one has told you is impossible to accomplish, finally after great effort and struggle, to do what you were told you could not do. It is a feeling of the greatest elation. it is not that 1 have a4 great desire to prove people wrong, but doing something that seems impossible is an unforgetable experience. 1 think that most handicapped people would agree with me on this point, unless they are the ones who are willing to sit back and let others do everything for them, Believe me, there are some of those people in our number, but they are, by no means the majority. As an example of this feeling of ',elation, there was a child many years ago, both deaf and blind. Consequently, as she grew older, she was unable to speak, 'never having heard a human voice. Her parents had hopes that she could be taught some form of communi- cation but were finally forced to believe that she should be institutionalized. Luckily for this girl, a young woman heard of her plight and asked if she could help. Finally, it was agreed that she should help. This young woman went to work and after many months and terrible physical battles, she had accomplished the impossible. The young woman taught this girl to write into the palm of another's hand to form words, so she could communicate. She also brought the realization that she had a voice by feeling another person's throat while he was talking. Of course, you arc all aware that the severely handicapped baby turned out to be one of those who arc not. 1 am referring to that extraordinarily courageous woman --Helen Keller. Imagine the wonderful feeling of accomp- lishment and elation that she felt when she discovered that she could communicate with others! Being handicapped myself, I am Bill Smiley Continued from Page 4. The Hill, which contains anything more than six years old, goes into the wastebasket, as docs Silly Old Cranks, a very slim stack of letters from ridiculous people' who don't agree with me. Needs Further Study goes back on the desk, right on top of Miscellaneous. Look Into This goes back on the desk on top of Needs Further Study. Next on the growing pile on the desk goes To Be Delt With - Sometime. Then I lift the whole pile and slide underneath it, right at the bottom, if you'll pardon the expression, To Be Answered Definitely In The New Year. And then, carefully delicately, I place on top of the pile the stack labelled' Complimentary. This contains the letters I have received from those splendid; intelligent people who admire my wife or kids or column. Yes, I know they should be thrown out. But surely you wouldn't deny a chap a little ointment for his ego, any more than you would begrudge an old lady a seat in the chimney corner, where the fire can warm her. The piles beside the typewriter are now only a foot and a half high, and it has taken a day and a half to sort them, This may not seem like progress to you, but Rome wasn't built in a day, as familiar with that feeling to some extent. Miss Keller is quoted as saying once, "1 thank God for my handicaps, for through them 1 have found my work, my life and my God," I doubt that there are many people brave enough to make a statement like that. There are times when 1 think my handicap is bad enough, but compared to hers, mine is as nothing! 1 have, though in a lesser way, accomplished the impossible. My parents were told that there was no hope that I would lead a normal life or even walk, After much suffering and pain, with the help of my family, I learned to walk - first holding on to someone's hand and later by holding on to the furniture. Imagine my feeling of elation - I had accomplished what couldn't be done! The next milestone in my life was the means of my education. My mother had taught me at home for two' years, when it was decided to educate me at school, I am talking about a normal public school, not a school for the handicapped. 1 survived and found it challenging, though not .without problems. At times, it could be challenging, though not without problems, At times, it could be downright nasty. Kids can be very cruel. By and large, it was a good experience, and one on which i look back with no regrets, My next obstacle as grade school and a much more gratifying just as challenging as grade school and a much more gratifying experience. I must admit 1 was never much of a scholar, but I had again done what the Doctors had stated was impossible. They didn't expect me to live, let alone be educated, The challenge was there and 1 met it head on, proving people wrong. Another example of a handi- capped person proving people wrong concerns a young girl who developed polio early in life. When she was very young she developed a phenomenal voice. From that time on, she wanted to become a great opera singer. She was able to accomplish this only on a very limited scale before small audiences, when she was in some idiot once remarked. One good thing came out of this year's sorting. I remembered that i had received a letter from Barry Broadfoot, author of Ten. Lost Years, a compelling book about the depression, I'd written a column about it. No, I couldn't find this letter, 1t must have wandered into the Miscellaneous or somewhere. But the memory of his letter made me remember that I'd had at least ten letters from all over the country, and the States, asking where a copy might be obtained. No, I couldn't find these letters either. But the memory of them reminded me of what Barry Broadfoot wrote in his letter. He's writing another book called The Pioneer Years, and he wondered if I would ask in niy column for the names of oldtimers who were spry and interesting, so that he could interview them, So, there you are, everybody, Send the names of spry, interesting oldtimers, of either sex, to Barry Broadfoot, care of Doubleday Publishers, 105 Bond St., Toronto, Ont. MSB 1Y3. And the sane people wi11 be happy to provide you with a copy of Ten Lost Years, There, My first good deed of 1975, And that's going to cost you, Brother Broadfoot, Crown Royal will do. her teens. She was told that no one would pay much to see a person limp out onto a stage even if she could sing. She persevered with a great display of courage and today she is one of Canada's greatest opera singers, and she is also internationally known, Her beautiful voice overcame the fact that people would be offended by the sight of a severe limp. i am sure you realize that 1 am speaking of Lois Marshall. I have seen her only once but it was the ,most unforgetable experience of my life. The night that I saw her, she received a standing ovation for many minutes from a capacity crowd. This brings to mind a snath of a poem "She tackled the thing that couldn't be done and she did it." What 1 am really trying to say is that by using one's own skill and ingenuity, one can manage to work out most situations, if given time. I think I can speak for most handicapped people when I say that above all, we hate to be told that we can't do things, and that you, who have nothing wrong with you, will take care of us, Speaking for myself, I feel that this tends to take away our pride and self respect, which is something we, as handicapped, need desperately. Most of us believe in the old adage where there is a will there's a way, and all we ask from "normal" people is that we be given the opportunity to discover ways to do things ourselves. The way we tackle certain problems may look awkward, but at least "we did it our way" but what is most important • We did it! I hope you have some idea no% of the life of a handicapped person, if you are still uncertain, 1 would make three suggestions. First, blindfold yourself for half a day, and try and cope with your normal routine. The blind have no choice. Secondly, obtain a pair of crutches, and pretend they are your only form of support when you are moving about or standing. This may show how people with inbalance and partial paralysis can get about and find ways to doing things, Thirdly, rent a wheelchair for a few hours and see just how easy it is to cope with normal life. You should be able to figure out how inventive we, the handicapped, must be. To do the most simple task takes all our skills, at times! In conclusion, 1 might remind you of a quote - "I prayed for strength that I might do greater things, I was given infirmity that I might do better things!" This must be our attitude to survive as handicapped, useful human beings. And now a look at the local news. When it comes to local reporting of the news, eight out of ten people turn to their local newspaper for a complete report. People turn to local newspapers for a full report on all local news. Where's the fire? Who got married? Who won last week's football game? All this, and a complete report on your City Council, school board meeting, or a possible bond Issue, Is news in your community. And, your local newspaper re- ports it. People believe strongly in newspapers for several reasons: newspaper reading is a habit with most people; it's part of the daily routine; people regard their newspaper as a friend they can't do without. With over 80% of all adults, and 70% of all teen-agers reading a newspaper every week, no other news medium can match local %newspapers for speedy, thorough saturation of your town. Newspapers deliver the local story. CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY PRESS OF CANADA PG. 6. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 8, 1975. ANN LANDERS Ann admits to theft DEAR ANN LANDERS: You strike me as a very honest person, but I'm sure you are not perfect. Do you have the courage to answer a very personal question in the paper --even if it brings you down a peg or two? Here it is: Have you ever --in your entire life --taken anything that didn't belong to you? --WAITING IN NEWARK DEAR WAITING: The answer is yes. When 1 was a senior in high school, two hundred students took a supervised train trip to Sioux Falls, S.D., for a football game. After the game there was a victory "snake dance" and we "snaked" through the Elks Club. 1 saw a great -looking brass spittoon in the corner and decided it would make a unique souvenir. The following evening I showed the spittoon to my father and expected him to marvel at my ingenuity, Instead he ordered me to go to the local store, have the spittoon wrapped for shipping and mailed back to the Elks Club in Sioux Falls. (At my own expense). With the spittoon went a letter of apology --and I had to sign my right name. That lesson made an indelible impression on me and I've been "souvenir shy" ever since. DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 got a large charge out of the letter from the female who thought it unjust to call women who slept around "tramps" and "trollops," while males who caroused were known as "Romeos" and Casanovas." The complainer insisted that every man who expects to marry a virgin should be able to bring to the wedding bed the same qualifications. Now really, Ann, how many honest -to -goodness, grown-up women want to marry virgin males? Such a match -up would be hilarious—like the first day of scrimmage of the freshman football squad. All fumbles and hardly a completed pass. Just for the fun of it, why don't you conduct another poll? It would be interesting to know, first-hand, what the modern woman wants in a husband and bedmate.••STRAIGHT FROM THE GOOSE DEAR GOOSE: Several geese (and some ganders) wrote to express the same viewpoint, but out of the whole gaggle, your letter was the most forthright and uncomplicated. I seriously doubt that a pair of experienced bedroom acrobats would have a better chance for a durable marriage than a pair of fumbling voices. It's how people feel about each other that counts. Expertise can come with practice. I'm not going to poll my women readers asking whether they would prefer a virgin husband to an experienced technician, but I will print the best letters in response to the question: "What do you want in a husband and bedmate?" DEAR ANN LANDERS: I hate to sound like an old fuddy-duddy, but what is the world coming to? I read in the papers recently that the student body of Bowling Green State University in Ohio elected a 21 -year-old man as Homecoming Queen. The guy is no pansy. He's a virile six-foot, one -inch, good-looking junior, majoring in American studies and elementary education. The guy defeated nine dames for the title. Richard was surprised when he heard he had won. Do you think he sould be allowed to be Queen?--ZONKED DEAR Z: Of course. And let's hope the guy who was elected King has a sense of humor or it's going to be quite a weekend. ********** It's not always easy to recognize love, especially the first time around.

"The IBR virus is usually spread by direct contact between animals," explains Dr. W.S. Bulmer of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food's veterinary services branch at Guelph, "Therefore, cattle confined in stables and feedlots get the disease more frequently." Although no existing antibio- tics kill IBR virus and cattle have to overcome this disease them- selves, the farmer should call a veterinarian as soon as he notices symptoms. By administering in- travenous fluids or anitbiotics, the veterinarian can ward off the bronchopneumonia that some- times accompanies IBR ant' is often fatal, A cow with IBR frequently develops an upper respiratory infection that causes discharges from the eyes and nose, runs a temperature of 105 to 108°F, and suffers weight loss. In some cases, inflammation of the wind - Which flooring is cheaper? Bedding for beef production is becoming less available - and more expensive • because development of new crop lines means cash crops such as corn are being grown over much of southern Ontario. One feasible solution may be slatted floors, according to H.E. Bellman, an agricultural engineer in the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food office at Walkerton. At first glance, it's an expensive choice. A modified environment barn with slatted floor can cost $200 to $225 per animal capacity, resulting in an annual fixed cost of $25 to $30, However, farmers should compare this with the annual fixed and operating costs of a barn using bedding. Although the fixed costs are often lower, the added cost of bedding, at $20 to $40 for each animal, drastically alters the picture. In the long run, slatted floor systems are often cheaper, according to Mr. Bellman, Another prod for the system is the environmental concern to prevent pollution. With slatted floors, manure remains complete- ly enclosed in a pit until spread in the field. Higher fertillizer prices, too, are making farmers take a second look at the system. The pit offers a good opportunity for them to retain the nutrients for use by plant crops.

In addition, IBR sometimes causes abortion in cattle five to eight months pregnant. Although the membranes arc often follow- ing an IBR -caused abortion, -laboratory examination of the fetus of mother's blood is usually required to identify iBR positively as the cause. Laboratory examin- ation is also required to diagnose IBR encephalitis, an infrequently - occurring infection of the brain, and to confirm a diagnoses of IBR as the cause of death in calves. Livestock owners should contact a veterinarian immediate- ly when symptoms are observed and the veterinarian may require laboratory examination of dead animals or tissue by one of the Ministrys veterinary services laboratories. These are located in Brighton, Guelph, Huron Park, Kemptville, New Liskeard and Ridgetown. Mortality in calves with IBR often approaches 100 percent. Those under six weeks usually develop a severe diarrhea that causes a frequently fatal loss of body fluids. To aid in the control of IBR, isolate newly -purchased cattle for three to four weeks before housing them with the establish- ed herd. Vaccination programs are expensive, and because the vaccine can cause abortion if administered to pregnant cows -or feedlot animals in contact with pregnant cows, they should be supervised by a veterinarian. They should also be timed to ensure the least stress. Farm book analysis BY D. S.

STANLEY MCDONALD LONDESBOROUGH UNITED CHURCH All of us had been looking forward to last Wednesday, to the coming of a new year, 1975, Maybe, in many ways, 1974 didn't live up to all our expectations, and so many of us, determined to make 1975 a different and better year, made resolutions, You know, a new year always seems to help us make a new .start, to put old temptations, failures and frustrations behind us, and to begin all over again, To help us look forward to 1975 with this type of hope and optimism The Minister's Study, during the month of January, is going to suggest to us some steps that we can take that will help us experience sonic deeper levels of spiritual life and service. 1 think, in the first place, we can look forward to 1975 if we dedicate ourselves to a life at deeper levels of prayer. In fact, 1 sec no other way for us to get through the year ahead of us in any satisfactory manner, How are we going to meet the problems, sorrows and discouragements which arc no going to no doubt beset us? How are we going to face the temptations that will inevitably come to us? How can we live purposeful lives in a frustrating world if we attempt to do it solely in our own strength? Yet how many people have tricd to do this in the past year and found only emptiness before them. How often do we find ourselves only praying, if we pray at all, when we get into trouble or when we want something from God, Or when we pray at stated time, such as before retiring or at night or saying grace at the dinner table, it is more or less a form of words we arc using, and with even less consciousness of the fact that our prayers have a divine hearer. What I am suggesting to you is a strengthening of your prayer lives. Prayer is a conversation between an individual and God, Our Lord castigated the Pharisee who stood up in Public and in a loud voice boasted about his pius accomplishments. And he commended the publican who smote his breast and merely said, "God be merciful to me, a sinner!" Do any of us need to have it proven to us that we are sinners? But how do we receive divine forgiveness? by good works? By making sacrifices? Oh no, that is quite impossible! The forgiveness of God is not something that can be bought, either by good works or conscientious promises, It is a free gift of God, and it is ours for the asking. Prayer is not an exercise that has to be done at certain stated times or in certain bodily positions. It is an attitude of the mind, the turning of our thoughts to God. It can be done as you ride along in your car and stop for a red light. it can be done as you are walking down the street. I can be done as you lay on your back in bed at night. It is so easy to forget about it. It is so easy to neglect it. Just because it is so easy, many of us skip it altogether. That is why our lives become at times so frustrating and so unstatisfying. Maybe that is why 1974 was a year that did not live up to all our expectations, But we can look forward to 1975 with enthusiasm and optimism if we dedicate ourselves here and now to a life of deeper levels of prayer. Plant an easy -to -grow palm tree Bring a bit of the tropics into your home • grow a palm tree. This plant is easy to keep because it needs only the medium light of a north, east, or west window, It does well in a general-purpose soil, enriched once every three weeks with liquid fertilizer. Report a palm only when it is extremely rootbound, and reduce the amount of water and fertilizer during die winter when growth is slow, "Kentia palms are easily grown as houseplants," says Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist D.M. Sangster. "However, they grow quickly, so the nice -sized young plants availabe at many garden and plant centers may be too large for most homes in two or three years." The dwarf Phoenix palms are also easy to grow, but young plants or seeds are sometimes difficult to obtain, Date palms may be propagated from seeds from unpitted dates. Plant each seed in well -drained soil in a four -inch pot and keep it well watered, In two to three years, the young dwarf plants will have enough leaves to make them attractive. Touch of spring Flowering bulbs forced in pots add a touch of spring to your home. Greenhouse flower growers have already potted their tulip, daffodil, and hyacinth bulbs and placed them in cold storage, so they will soon by available at florists and garden centers, However, anyone can force bulbs at home, according to horticultur- ist D.M. Sangster of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Plant bulbs in well -drained pots or pans, partially filled with loam, to which coarse sand and peat or Ieafmold have been added. For the best display, plant only one variety of bulbs in each pot and place them close together but not touching. To ensure good root growth, avoid packing the soil under the bulbs. Provide good drainage for hyacinths and prevent rotting by placing a little sand right under the bulbs. Cover most bulbs with soil leavin-' enough room in the pot for: watering. Hyacinths and daffodils, however, do best when the top third of the bulb is exposed. After planting and watering, place most bulbs in a place where the temperature is between 35 and 40°F for 10 to 12 weeks. However, hyacinths do best at 50°F, and some bulbs, such as paperwhites and Soleil d'Or narcissi, do not need a cold storage period. If the bulbs are stored in an attic, basement, or root cellar, protect them from mice. Water them regularly. When the pots are filled with roots and the top growth is about two inches high, bring the bulbs into subdued Tight at 50°F for two to three weeks, Then move into full light at 60°F to bloom. The flower buds will be ruined if the bulbs are forced too quickly or exposed to excessive heat, Keep the soil moist at all times, A DRAMATIC FILM SH Huron Men's (hape AUBURN ight, January 12 AT 8:0 ' ' A.

Temporary entombment took place in Aylmer Cemetery with interment later in Greenhill Cemetery, Lucknow. Newspaper re -cycling could mean editor would eat his words In a recent industry publication circulated among weekly news- papers came this interesting item we thought readers might like to read just for the fun of it. The authors, with some good reason, chose to remain anonymous. British scientists are soaking old newspapers in water and treating them with some kind of fungus. The product of this recycling is considered whole- some and nutritional for cattle. I told that to my roommate Pete, who is trying to get retired from The Goldendale Sentinel but they're still recycling HIM. He replied, "Personally, re- cycling our newspapers for cows offends me a little. When 1 write a stirring editorial 1 don't really have in mind producing it so some cow in pasture can get fat on it. I had in mind that I was writing food for thought --not thought for food!" "Look at it this way. Consider all the by-products that would be scattered around the pasture as potential Letters to the Editor. In a way, you could call them readers' digests. I'll bet those papiermache frisbees could make more sense AS IS than some of the letters we get that are full of 11 404 "Watch your thinking there," he interrupts. "This newspaper is for famit,y consumption. Keep it clean." "Yes, but now it may be used for cow consumption too."Do you suppose we should start running a horoscope for the benefit of the cow that jumps over the moon? And stock market reports when they're bullish? Or employ a cowtoonist? We have to consider all those readers and eaters, you know." He ignores me and ponders the . practicality of it all. "I suppose it does make sense. Paper is a by-product of trees that are cellulose. We eat cellulose too --it's the covering of seeds, and we eat it in the form of bran. And cattle eat lots more cellulose than we do." "Yes, but we don't mix our with fungus. What kind of fungus? Do you suppose if they feed a cow the sports page they'd mix it with Athlete's Foot? "You're making my stomach roll over. This is perfectly logical scientific adventure and you have to mess it up with nutty possibilities. I do wonder, though, about what happens to thenk. It's full of carbons." "Heck, that's how they get Black Angus. Perhpas they're really Charolais full of black ink. Anad Brahma bulls might really be just run-of-the-mill bulls full of India ink. I suppose the dairy cows would eat slick magazines like Butter Homes and Gardens." He disregards these little asides and reflects, "I wonder if the neat is any more tender in paper -fed cattle?" "Who would need a steak knife? Wouldn't they just cut it with scissors?" Perhaps next they'll discover they can feed recycled ground -up newspapers to people as well as cattle.

And almost everyone scans the ads in their local newspaper. Too many newspaper advertisers try to be different in their approach to advertising to get the readers attention. Often they fall, An advertisement that sells tells the story of the product—what it Is, how it works, what its advantages are, and what it does for you. If you use local newspaper for advertising make a note of these selling points in pre• paring your ad: 1. Decide what it is you really have to sell, Then, sell just that. Over and over again. 2. Make your advertisement as "newsy" as possible. Price is news. A new product is news, 3. Take enough space to tell your story with eye'catching fashion — don't crowd it. The money you save by re. ducing the size of your ad is wasted by the number of readers you'll lose, 4. Tell your story often. One ad's pulling power proves nothing. 5. Be selective. Run your ad where it will do you the most good — the sports page for most men, society pages for women. Your local newspaper suggests that when you find the right sellhig combination that works for you, repeat it again—and again. It works! NEWSPAPERS DELIVER THE LOCAL STORY.

"You are quite right," I retort, knowing the formula. "Your daughter and your son-in-law and your grandchild have just left and your son has just arrived, and he is going to Paraguay to pioneer the faith and Paraguay is full of snakes and tortillas and enchiladas and Mennonites and the Green Hell and he wants money," "Don't give him a cent, until i get home," she commands, This is what is known as intercourse, between mart '.?,z1 people, Both parties know whl. the next move is, and there is no confusion, clumsiness, or frustra- tion, I shudder to think what it must be between single people.

The kid and I had our usual super time, 1 must be getting old and sick and stupid and queer because he's the only person I have any fun with any more. We wink solemnly, smile gravely, crawl under the dining room table and bump our heads, and hold out our arms to each other when everything else palls. He likes whisker -rubs and I like satin cheeks.

I ruffle my wife's feathers, I'd like to have had him for Christmas but his other grand- father was apparently pacing the floor, hitting his head against things, and threatening to call out the Mounties if he didn't see his grandson, so I had to let hint go. However, I was not to be left alone and lonely loitering, as I had so much looked forward to, during the holidays.

Yes, he is going to Paraguay to spread the faith. Yes, last year he went to the Holy Land. The Arabs didn't get him, Neither did the Jews. Yes, he is broke. Yes, there arc enchiladas and Mennonites in Paraguay. The enchilada is a corpulent scorpion. If you step on one while he is resting in your shot, and squash him, and this results in a disease called enchiladitis, which calls for the roof of your mouth to cave in. And, of course, if you step on a Mennonite in the course of spreading the faith, you 'get Mennonitis, This docs not cause the roof of your mouth to fall in, but the front, including teeth, There are shots for the former, but not for the latter.

Walsh C - rk-Treasurer cocoa bebe0� , CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY Order your farm equipment now Don't let workable fields and fine weather catch you unpre- pared next spring. Order spare parts and new farm machinery now. "Although the supply situation is improving, delays can still be expected in the delivery of many items," warns P.H. Bomford, head of engineering at the Ridgetown College of Agricultur- al Technology, "It is doubly important to check your present machinery long before it is needed, so necessary parts can be ordered in advance." "Before ordering, decide if you could run your farm more efficiently by taking advantage of a few developments in farm equipment," he continues, "For example, consider buying a diesel -powered, rather than a gasoline -powered, tractor. Be- cause diesel engines use one- third to one-half less fuel than gasoline engines, arc more reliable, and pollute less, more farmers now prefer them, A diesel engine costs more than a gasoline engine, but the differ- ence in price can be covered by as little as 150 hours' use per year." ' In southwestern Ontario, harvest losses of over 10 bushels per acre of soybeans, or about $60 worth per acre, were recorded this year, Consider reducing harvest losses by purchasing a finger -type robot header control or a floating cutter bar to use with a pickup reel, These prevent pods from being left on long stubble and can save one-half to two bushels of beans per acre. A speed control on the reel drive of the combine, to reduce the number of beans lost because of shattered pods, may also be a good investment. This prevents the reel from rotating too quickly for the combine's forward speed. If your livestock cats 75 tons or more of hay each year, consider handling it in packages of one-half to six tons, Baling systems for these packages can be operated by only one or two workers and the huge round bales or stacks can be self -fed, unwound and fed at a fence Zine, or ground in a tub grinder and put COMING EVENTS';��G GENERAL MEETING OF BLYTH LITTLE THEATRE.

COMMENCING JANUARY 8 SPONSORED BY BLYTH LiQNS CLUB through a mechanical feeder or forage wagon. Move the bales with a manure loader and grapple, the smaller stacks with a three-point hitch attachment, and the larger stacks with a special trailer. "However, think out the whole system, right to the steer's mouth, before buying equipment for big hay packages," advises Mr, Bomford. "Getting the hay out of the field is only half the problem, as some farmers have discovered. Besides, ' in some Ontario locations, it may not be safe to leave big bales in the open until required every year. They may have to be covered or put under a roof for the storage period." An enclosed cab on a tractor or combine sometimes prevents the farmer from hearing and seeir? the complete operation of his machine. "Don't let that prevent you from buying a cab though," Mr. Bomford warns, "It provides from dust and noise during normal operation and from injury during some accidents. Electronic monitoring systems that activate a red light or buzzing sound when the tractor combine is not working efficiently are available.

It's a depressing thought BY KEITH ROULSTON If you're in business these days, you shouldn't read the newspaper. You shouldn't watch television or listen to radio. You shouldn't pick up your favourite magazine. You probably shouldn't talk to your next door neighbour. If you're really looking for a way to spend your spare time, you might read a good book, but make sure it's not something like Barry Broadfoot's "Ten Lost Years." In other words, don't read or listen to anything that mentions that depressing topic: depression. It's enough to scare you out of a year's growth. The flood of doom and gloom predictions has just about any businessman you talk to a little edgy including the writer. Sure you keep repeating to yourself the immortal lines of F.D. Roosevelt, the President of the United States during the Great Depression of the 1930's: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." I think that Frank but we're still scared skinny. You, after all, were a multi -millionaire. You could lose a million or two and not have to worry in the world. Most of the people I know are just skinning by every year, keeping the bills paid up and maybe even making enough money for an extravagant two-week vacation in Florida. They're in hawk up to their eyebrows and the thought of an economic slowdown is,enough to send their blood pressure soaring. I didn't hear many business - Broom ball scores It was a night of lop -sided scores in the Blyth Broomball League Tuesday night. The Grads dumped the Bears 4-0. Auburn laced Vanastra 6-1. The 8th Liners clobbered Belgrave 4-0. The Ontario Hydro system covers a service arca approxi- mately a quarter million miles square, stretching more than 1,000 miles from east to west and 500 miles 'from north to south. Population densities vary from near nil to well above 6,000 per square mile, men say, "Well, what's your New Year's resolution this year?" 1 heard a lot more who said, "Well, what do you think `'" They usually don't complete the sentence but you know what they mean. They want to be hopeful; they know they should be hopeful, but then they hear something about the automakers laying off a few thousand more workers, or an electronics company closing its plant, and they start to worry anyway. We've been conditioned for so long to think big, to expand, to , have confidence that this year will be better than last, that now, with uncertainty in the air, business- men feel a cold chill up their spine. On one hand they see employees everywhere demand- ing, and in most cases getting, big wage increases while on the other, they see slumping markets for new cars, for sterios and televisions and other "big ticket" items. On one hand their instinct is to expand while on the other, they see the high interest rates and their already heavy debt because of expansion in the past years and they worry about what will happen if sales slow down and they and their heavy debt are left out on a limb. Old FDR was really right when he talked about fear, We are quickly falling into 0 recession simply because businessmen, the people who make the economy tick, arc scared. When they're scared, the hold back from buying that new piece of machinery they need, or they make that company fleet of cars last another year. When they don't buy, they start the vicious circle; the factory that t, made the machine or the car has to lay off employees; the unemployed workers can't buy goods from the stores; the stores cut back on orders; there arc more layoffs in the plants that produce the goods the store normally sells and so on and so on. Around and round it goes and it doesn't stop until some drastic action breaks the circle. if it gets bad enough, it becomes a depression and last time we had a depression it took a little thing like a world war to bring us out of it. Hopefully, we're not. in for anything so drastic this time around either in disease or cure. But the circle is starting and unless someone can break it soon we're in trouble. We need some very good news amid the doom and gloom or all those terrible prophesies will be self-fulfilling. N ew Red L bite Foo YTH, ONT.
