The Blyth Standard, 1975-01-15, Page 1tie S anda d BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 20 CENTS VOLUME 85 - NO. 03 Our own private storm? Has this car been left out all winter? Actually no, only for a couple of hours during Tuesday afternoon's deluge of snow. An estimated four to six Inches fell Must over two hours, yet in Clinton to the south and Wingham to the north, very little snow fell. Is somebody trying to tell us something?—staff photo. Inflation still major problem Inflation, not recession is still the major problem in Canada according to Cliff Shewfelt from the Agricultural Department of the Royal Bank of Canada. Mr. Shewfelt, speaking to about 200 farmers at the monthly meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture at the Turnberry Central School, Wingham said that the Bank is expecting a real growth rate of three per cent in the next year. Inflation is still a very real problem, he said. Unemployment is still a very real problem, he said. Unemployment is still not high enough to hint that recession is as serious in Canada as in the United States. He warned, however, that there is usually a six-month lag between trends in the U.S. and Canada. If recession hits Canada, he warned the farmers to be in a stable financial position. "The banks will stick with you" he promised, Asked for indicators to watch for to tell if recession is setting in he said to keep an.. eye on the Bank of Canada interest rate which will drop if recession seems close; watch the housing starts which will decline; watch unemployment which will increase and grain exports which will decrease. "Recession takes effect," he said, "when industry in general says "Whoa", that's enough. If it has to pay higher salaries to some workers, it will layoff others." The comments on the economy came during a question and answer period at the end of Mr. Shewfelt's speach on farm financing. He said credit was a two-edged sword. During times of' 'inflation or strong growth, he said, use of credit could mean big gains. During times of recession, he said, the cost of credit could cut deeply into the reserves of a business in the form of cash, land, machinery or -.stock. People should think of productive credit he said, meaning the borrowed money must return the cost of the borrowing plus__ a profit, In times of inflation this is not difficult. In times of recesison, however, this is much more difficult. The ratio of borrowed capital to real assets needs to be higher in times of recession he says. In times of loss, he says, a farmer with only a 25 per cent equity in his farm could be wiped out in only a year. He told farmers that they should have a good set of records and facts of past performance in hand before going to see their bank manager. He said farmers must be able to display their total reserves and the structure of their assets and be able to explain what they hope to achieve with the credit they want. Once you have this information, he said, talk eye -ball to eye -ball to your banker. If he's new, don't feel you have to test him. If he doesn't understand farming, help him to understand it rather than criticize him, During the question period he was asked how a young farmer was supposed to get into business without going deeply in debt. He said he had worked on a high debt ratio with some young farmers because of their good education and a solid farm background and the results were mixed. He admitted the problem of getting young people into farming is a tough one. "1 don't know what we're asking the next generation to do when we're selling $1500 -an -acre land on the basis of three years of $3.00 corn," he said. "How many years did that land produce only $1.00 corn?" But the financial institutions can't be expected to solve the whole problem, he said. Commenting on Farm Improvement Loans and the fact banks are straying away from them he said that the banks feel they are fulfilling the spirit of the Farm Improvement Act which was to "encourage the banks to lend term money to the farming community" Now, he said, the batiks were willing to provide term money to farmers the same as to other businesses and didn't need the government backing. "But we don't need a kick in the head," he said, which is what the discounted interest rate on F.1.L. means to the banks, The government does not pick up the tab for the discount so the bank must. One per cent, he said, can mean the difference between profit and loss for the banks. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1975. Inside Editorials Church Classified •Coming Events Anson McKinley named Warden A familiar name will hold the office of Huron County Warden for the coming year following the election Tuesday of Anson McKinley to the warden's chair. The 49 -year-old Stanley Township reeve defeated Clinton Reeve Harold Lobb 34 to 22 on a second ballot. McKillop Township Reeve Allan Campbel was eliminated on the first ballot. Mr. McKinley, a Zurich -area chicken farmer, said in his address to county council his election as warden comes exactly 60 years after his grandfather, John McKinley was elected Stanley Township reeve, Mr. McKinley's older brother, Robert, a Progressive Conservative, has represented the Huron and Huron -Middlesex ridings in Parliament since 1965. Many county residents and politicians are convinced the younger McKinley has plans of succeeding his brother at the end of his present term, possibly in 1978 or 1979. Warden McKinley temporarily ended speculation he might venture into provincial politics in the next Ontario election when he said he has "no intention of using the office of warden as a step in a higher of other political area. I will give the office of warden all the attention it deserves for 12 months." His promise came as good news to Jack Riddell, MPP (L -Huron), who bought greetings to county council. Page 4 Page 7 Page 14 Page 15 "It's comforting to know you are planning to devote a full year as warden," Mr. Riddell said. "My next move is to make sure Bill Davis calls the next election this spring or fall." Warden McKinley, who replaces Bill Elston, Morris Township reeve, is the second Stanley Township reeve elected warden in three years. The 1972 warden was Stanley Reeve Elmer Hayter. Warden McKinley, operations manager at McKinley Hatcheries, and wife Evelyn, have six children. He told Huron's 44 other councillors he has "no great or grand plans for the coming year." The strength of county council, he said, lies in the entegrity of its members how must ",Manage county affairs to inspire confidence in the people we serve." "Our contribution," he continued, "will be measured by later generations. We are the pioneers of today. We have to look at how our actions today will affect tomorrow." Warden McKinley was officially sworn in by Huron County court Judge Francis Carter. He has been a member of county council for seven years - the past two as reeve following five years as deputy reeve. Greetings were also brought by Murray Gaunt, MPP (L -Huron -Bruce) and Goderich Mayor Deb Shewfelt. Federation of Agriculture worried about dog food Reports of poor people eating pet foods to stretch their food budget have Huron county farmers concerned. Farmers in attendance at the Huron County Federation of Agriculture meeting in Wingham on Thursday night were particularly upset over a television program shown on C.B.C. in which sandwiches made of pet foods were passed out to people on the street who were interviewed for comments on the taste. The only conclusion from the program, one farmer observed, seemed to be that dog food was more tasty than cat food. The program did not point out, the farmers said, that some of the pet food is made from meat from animals that have died on farms from various diseases and are sold to pct food companies through dead stock companies. These animals, aside from the disease factor, may also have large quantities of drugs in their systems, the farmers said, which might cause harm to humans eating the meat, particularly to people suffering from allergies. A motion was made that a letter be sent to the C.B.C. consumer show Marketplace pointing out the dangers of eating pet foods. Not everyone in attendance, however, was in favour. Two farmers felt the letter might scare off people from buying pet foods even for their pets, thereby depressing the pct food business and further pinching the dead stock removal companied who are already in a tough financial situation because of declining dead meat prices. But one farmer warned, "As farmers, it's our duty not only to produce food but to warn our consumers that sonic food is not fit for human consumption. We owe it to them on a human level," The motion to send the letter ,. as passed with only two decanting votes among the nearly 200 persons at the meeting. In other business, Ontario Federation of Agriculture Fieldman Bill Crawford announced that a blitz for membership will be held in the townships of East Wawanosh, West Wawanosh and Colborne. The Federation presently as 2200 members in the county. The Ministry of Agriculture estimates there are 3100 farmers in the county. West Wawanosh to investigate mobile home licensing West Wawanosh township council held its inaugural meeting on January 7 and mobile homes came up for discussion. The Reeve Robert Lyon and the clerk agreed to investigate the possibility of setting up a licencing system after council had held a discussion on the matter, Also under discussion was the possibility of helping the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority by purchasing a farm in the township and selling to the Authority. Purchases by the township are not subject to the land speculation tax, Purchases by the Conservation Authority are, Council decided not to become involved, Several members of council indicated they would attend the meeting in Goderich on January 30 for municipal officers. Appointments to boards and committees were made for the coming year. Harold Errington was named as representative to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. Reeve Lyons was appointed to the Lucknow Medical Centre Committee and the Lucknow Community Centre Board, Recreation committee members are Bill McPherson, Mrs, Susan Cook, Cecil Cranston, Allan Webster, Ross Errington, Mr. and Mrs. John Rutherford, Walter Arnold, Marybelle Cranston and Joe Hickey. Salaries were set for the coming year: for the clerk, at $2600; for the treasurer at $2000; for the Reeve at $500 and for councillors at $450. !6. 2. THE PLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 15, 1l7S.

Some of that beauty was recorded by our photographer on a recent Sunday walk in the country just outside the village. Broadfoot revue comes to Blyth Dave Broadfoot, one of Canada's top comedians, is also one of the busiest, as he prepares for a Provincial tour of his comedy revue "Take a Beaver to Lunch" that ran so successfully for seven months in Toronto. With his first book "Sex and Security" in the bookstores and his record "Wall to Wall Broadfoot" in the record shops he continues to write up-to•datc local material for the highly acclaimed production. Mr. Broadfoot will bring the revue to Blyth Memorial Hall in late February. An incessant traveler, Broad - foot returns to his newly purchased Toronto home, follow- ing a Christmas tour entertaining the Canadian troops in West Germany, Cairo, Cyprus and the Golan Heights. Past perform- ances have taken hint from the Playboy Club in Montreal to the Blue Angel in London, the Maranouchi in Tokyo, the Clayton House in Chicago and.New York's One - Fifth Avenue. For nine years he starred in the political satire "Spring Thaw" and for four years in "Squeeze"; "Clap Hands" in the U.K.; "Off Limits" in , Montreal; "Laugh with Leacock" at the Confedera- tion Centre in Charlottetown, and the Katimavik Revue at Expo '67. While his preference is the small intimate type theatre "where you can get close to your audience" he has also appeared on some of the largest stages in the world, including the Canadian National Exhibition Grandstand Show and the Calgary Stampede. For those who only venture, as far as their television set the Broadfoot face will be familiar for an Ed Sullivan appearance, 10 "Wayne and Shuster" shows, 39 "Comedy Crackers", nine "This Hour Has Seven Days", 33 "Zut" and 26 "Comedy Cafe", not to mention innumerable commer- cials from Alka Seltzer to the. Yellow Pages. "Take a Beaver to Lunch" is Broadfoot's own conception; he has written, produced, and performs most of the material. One Toronto columnist wrote "if ever you've wanted to take a beaver to lunch, now is the time to do it. We took a beaver to lunch via the brilliant and hysterically funny Dave Broadfoot, and new comedy partner Carol Robinson, as we 'smokey beared' our way from one hilarious skit to another. Broadfoot .. , possibly the top Canadian humorist in the country today, made it all come true. Broadfoot's come a long way since the old corn -ball days of plying the nightly drinkeries."

The legislation would have tightened controls of snowmobiles greatly in the province. The end result is so watered down it was hardly worth passing at all. One positive gain has been made. Now property owners can no longer be liable for accidental injuries to snowmobilers using their property. But on the lost side of the leger are: •The law that would have banned snowmobiles from all roads except those specified in municipal bylaws. Now, municipalities must )ASS their own by-laws prohibiting use .of some roads, a task that can be a hard one when they must live side by side with local snowmobilers. •The use of helmets was to be compulsory at all times. Now, however, helmets arc only required by law on public trails or when crossing highways. So much for concern for safety. •The law would have made it possible for any police or conservation officer to arrest a snowmobiler for trespassing on private property, whether the property owners asked that charges be pressed or not. Now, the property owners must request charges before they will be laid. How many property owners want to be the big bad ogre in such case even though they may not want trespassers? Obviously, the Tory backbenchers are afraid for their political lives in the coming election, Every vote counts and there are a lot of snowmobilers around these days. Save our image No doubt there are a few people across this country who are smiling smuggly that Montreal Mayor Jean Drapeau seems about to finally be goins to "get his". The problems surrounding the Olympics which are now giving Canada an international blackeye, should never have. happened. If we had not given in to the neanderthal who saw the Olympics as one more give-away to Quebec, the Olympics today would probably be a source of pride to all Canada, not a national disgrace. If the Games had been in Toronto or Vancouver, would we have heard so much of a stink about using federal funds for support? Would we have heard\ as much criticism about costs? Would we have heard so much ridicule ilbout potential income from' things lake lotteries and stamp and coin sales? The time for petty bickering, scepticism and ridicule is over. We need a truely national effort if the games and our pride are to be saved. Let's grow up Canada. Too soon for jumps of joy The word, this weekend, was all good. A Gallup Poll conducted during November and December showed that the Ontario Liberal party was well out in front of Bill Davis' Conservatives for the first time in many years. The Liberals had the support of 41 percent of pie decided voters in Ontario compared to only 33 percent for the Conservatives and 26 percent for the New Democrats, For those, who have impatiently awaited the defeat of the inept, corrupt Tory regime, it is a case of so near and yet so far. The Poll, after the equally pleasing defeat of the Conservatives in four out of four byelections since 1971 seems to show that the message is finally getting through to the people of this province: the message that got through to people in this area a long time ago, that the Conservatives have been in power a few years too long. But it's not time to jump for joy. By-elections don't make governments. Polls are no guarantees of success (just ask Robert Stanfield). The superb backroom operation of the provincial Conservatives has been iri trouble before and always come through. Who would bet a plug nickle that they can't swing it again? Who would have dreamed, for instance, that the inane advertising campaign of the Tories in 1971 would have won then such a huge majority? Who would have thought Ontario's sophisticated voters would fall for "red scare" tactics? There'll be more tricks up the sleeves of the backroom boys before this election year is over. There will be, no doubt, an organized smear campaign to try to convince voters that Robert Nixon, the Liberal leader, couldn't run a committee meeting of two, let along a complex province. There.will be promises and goodies. Unpopular policies like the Mustard Report and regional government proposals will be put under review with the hint that there will be real changes made: but the review won't be complete until after the election, and if the Conservatives return, so will the policies. We've been through it before. But the Tories are desperate this time, so this time we just might see some new twists. It should be interesting. Lonely tracks on the tracks Those were the days 5 years ago JANUARY 14, 1970. Damage was estimated at $400 from a fire in a poultry barn on the farm of Bruce Roy in Hullett township. Cause of the fire was an electric heating cable around a water pipe. Aubrey and Marie Toll were honoured on their 25th wedding anniversary on December 27 by 200 friends and relatives at the Auburn Community Hall. After 33 years in business, Garfield Doherty sold his garage business on Dinsley Street to Ken Rotz of Kitchener. Gar carne to Blyth in August of 1936 with his brother to manage the White Rose station on Queen Street before it was burned while Jack Creighton still owned it. In 1954, the Dohertys built the Dinsley Street garage and operated it in partnership until the death of brother Roy in 1969. • Jack Stafford of RR 1, Wroxeter was named president of the Huron County, Federation of Agriculture after ill health forced the resignation of Bob Henry of Blyth from the leadership of the group. Mrs. Bernard Hall showed pictures of Kenya to members of the Blyth Women's institute. 10 years ago JANUARY 13, 1965 Rev. W. 0. Mather of Blyth United Church was guest speaker for the Blyth Women's Institute meeting on Public Relations. The W.I. was also sponsoring a course on Block Printing. A warning was issued to all snowmobile operators reminding them that licences were required for trav,el.on roads. The renovation sale was con- tinuing at the Needlecraft Shoppe in Blyth. Mrs. Wes Bradnock was returned for another term as president of the Auburn Horti- cultural Society. A special service had been held at St. Mark's Church, Auburn on January 3 at which Rev. R. F. Meally announced he had resign- ed as rector of the Blyth, Auburn and Belgrave parish and would be leaving for Ireland where he would serve in the diocese of Kilmore. 20 years ago JANUARY 12, 1955 Production at the Russel Doughtery Rutabaga Plant has reached 110 carloads, or 66,000 bushels, according to Mr. Dougherty. Production was down about 25 per cent because of a ntaggott infection. A large portion of the plant production was destined for the United States market. Lewis Whitfield was named chairman of the Community Centre Board. Mrs. Lorne Scrimgeour was to continue as secretary and Cecil Wheeler was named as treasurer to replace Grant Sparling who had resigned. Rev. C. C. Washington addressed the inaugural meeting of the East Wawanosh township council. The council . was com- prised of Reeve Orval Taylor and, councillors Hanna, McGowan, Buchanan and Purdon. Clerk was R. H. Thompson. Arthur V. McCormack of Arthur, president of the Ontario Farmers Union was present at a meeting in Blyth Memorial Hall January 7 to explain the farmers union concept. Inclement weather held down the attendance. 30 years ago JANUARY 17, 1945 Negotiations were underway with the local council over the location of the Blyth •Farmer's Co-operative Association plant in the village. Negotiating on behalf of the village were Reeve Morritt and Councillors Kernick, Bainton, 3dden and Wright. in spite of the inclemency of the weather a good crowd turned out to patronize the patriotic venture of the Blyth Turnip Plant Management and Employees held in Memorial Hall on the previous Wednesday evening. Euchre and crokinole and dancing to the music of the CKNX Ranch Boys provided the evening's entertainment. About $80 was raised to buy cigarettes for Blyth and area men serving overseas. Reeve Morritt was appointed to the county Good Roads Commission for a three-year term. Grey Township Reeve Alex Alexander was named Huron County Warden, In Belgrave, an open air ice rink had just been laid down for the pleasure of all. The No. 10 East Wawanosh Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter McGill. The broadcast and discussion was on the topic "Making Rural Schools Effective." Sterling Trusts Corporation was advertising Guaranteed Trusts Certificates of 3'/4 per cent interest. Advertising for your decorating needs were F.C. Priest of Londesboro and Edith Creighton of Blyth. And there were many goodies offered by Frank's Bakery, Blyth. 50 years ago JANUARY 22, 1925 A large majority of voters at the Si. Andrew's Prebyterian Church voted in favour of Church Union with the Methodist and Congre- gational churches, The church '.inion became official on June 10. The history of the Blyth church dated from 1854. Members of Hullett council held their January meeting. The members were: Robert Clarke, Reeve and Councillors, Ernest A. Adams, James Leiper, Thomas, Sloan and Herbert Mogridge. Among the advertisers of the day were S. H. Gidley, Clothier; R. M. McKay, Optometrist; J. S.

Blyth market prices were: butter and dairy, 38 cents; Eggs, per dozen, 50 cents; Hay per ton, $12.00 and Hods per hundred- weight, $10.00. Proposals would change local riding boundaries Proposed riding boundary changes if adopted would mean the whole Blyth district would be included in the Huron -Bruce provincial riding rather than part in Huron -Bruce and part in Huron riding. The enlarged ridings, however, will make it hard for M.P.P.s Murray Gaunt and Jack Riddell to cover their whole ridings without the use of an aircraft. Standing committees named BY WILMA OKE The standing committees for the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board for 1975 were named at a meeting h of the board in Seaforth Monday night. They are as follows with the first named the chairman: •Building and Property Committee, F. J.

Don Crowley and Francis Hicknell, John Vintar, Superin- tendent of Education and Rev. Anthony Durand of Zurich, Dean of Huron -Perth Deanery, were named to a committee to interview the applicants (10 received) for the position of assistant superintendent of education as recently advertised. The committee will select the three most likely applicants to meet the board. Two trustees opposed the motion naming the committee to interview the assistant superin- tendent. They were Howard Shantz and Ronald Marcy, both of Stratford. Mr. Shantz objected to interviewing on the basis that the original motion was for advertis- ing for assistant superintendent, not hiring one. Mr. Shantz had voted against the original motion as well, Mr. Shantz objected to the interviewing too because he felt it was dangerous not to have a salary limitation set by the board. Donnelly and Murphy, Goderich, were named solicitors for the board, Two religious banners were presented to the board by Mary Hak and Jeanine Melanson, both of St. James' School, Seaforth. The board members will take them to a Focus on Faith meeting to be held in London in February, THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 15, 1975. PG. 5. Pete says too many rights make a wrong BY KEiTH f JULSTON Who says two rights don't make a wrong? Certainly not my old friend Pete. Pete was grousing the other day about how everybody is so worried about their right these days, that the whole country is going wrong. "Look down there at Montreal," old Pete said, "A few construction workers are so afraid they won't be able to meet the payments on their new cars or their wives' microwave ovens so they've gone on strike for another buck an hour. Never mind the fact they're signed up for a while yet at the old rate. Heck no, they've got a right to the best. So they quit work and the whole country is left in the embarassing state of being caught with its plans down for the Olympics. "Or how about out in Saskat- chewan where they had that big blow last week. (I hear they almost got as much snow during the storm as we do in an afternoon snowflurry here in the snowbelt though it was a mite colder like with a wind-chill factor of a hundred below). So, with people panicking in every direc- tion what happens? Yep, another strike. This time the Hydro people, Can't blame them really. Certainly got to be better sitting home striking than wading through snow to your belly button to fix downed power lines. "Just the same there were a lot of people depending on them and there they were, when they .were most needed, walking out on strike. Never mind •that some farmer had some chickens that froze to death because the heat went off, or some ladies had to wander around in the dark because the lights went out. Hell, no. These guys had rights. "This week they're having a non-smokers rights week, I'll becha it's the first time a lot of smokers ever thought about what happens to the other guy when they blow smoke rings in his face. "They'll argue like heck they should have the right to smoke in schools and buses and just about anywhere else, but who ever thought about the rights of the poor slob who doesn't smoke? Does he ever have the right to some fresh air? Heck no, it's the smoker who has the right. Now me, i chew tobacco. 1 wonder what they'd think if I demanded the right to spit my tabacco juice out on the floor the same way they can spew out that smoke? "Yes sir, everybody's looking after their rights these days. People hollerin' about their right not to do up their seat belts. They scream so hard at the government not to make a law about compulsory scat belts that old Billy Davis just backed right up (he's doin' a lot of backin' up lately). Never mind my right not to have to pay the hospital bills when they get themselves hurt because their seat belts weren't done up. "Then there's always some- body griping about the civil rights of people arrested for drugs or stealin' or protestin' this or that. Listen to them complaining all the time about police brutality or the lack of justice in the courts and you start to think it's the cops and judges that should be in jail and the crooks should be on the outside. "There's the rights of the consumer to stick her nose into everybody else's business just because she buys the product. It's like the garbage man demanding to see what 1 eat because he has to hall away my garbage scraps. The consumer today knows more 'bout farming that farmers have been on the land 50 years; more . 'bout making a car than Henry Ford; more 'bout runnin' a store than old Tim Eaton. i "Then there's the rights of the women's libbers today. They want the right to 'rule their own bodies'. So do 1, My rheumatism's been botherin' me for 20 years and I still haven't been able to get rid of it. 'Course it's a lot easier to get rid of a kid you don't want or a husband either these days for that matter. "But things have changed a lot since I was growin' up out on the farm. In those days we didn't hear nearly so much about rights as we did about responsibilities. Don't hear that word responsi- bility m► •'h these days except when w, 're trying to blame 4somcthinb 'ikc inflation on a politician rather than take the blame ourselves because we've been so busy lookin' after our rights that we let the country go all to hell. "Yep, but I guess it's our right to blame and their responsibility to accept the blame. Nice comfortable position for most people isn't it?" And with that old Pete went away muttering to himself, 21,000 granted Conservation A zea A provincial grant of $21,000 for improvements at the Wroxeter Conservation Area was announc- ed Tuesday. Murray Gaunt MPP, (L -Huron - Bruce), said the grant from the Ontario ministry of natural resources to the Maitland Valley Conservation Area will be for i►tiprovements to the authority's headquarters and workshop. "Iso included in the improve- ments are tree planting, land- scaping and improvements to road and parking areas.

Wingham Ontario Provincial Police Detachment enlarged The Wingham detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police has a larger staff now than ever before in its history. A heavier workload and a greater availa- bility of manpower in the OPP have required a 13 -man staff for this area. The new designation in the latter half of 1974 has placed the Wingham OPP detachment under the leadership of a sergeant, the first one for the area. Sgt. Leonard George, a 21 -year +teran of the OPP, was assigned Wingham in September, 1974. A native of Owen Sound, Sgt. George served for ten years in the Windsor area, five years at Oakville and six at Stratford. He is married, with two grown sons, and an incredible list of outside interests and hobbies, including skiing, bridge, and small -craft sailing. He is also an accomplish- ed pianist. "And then I do a little policing," he quipped, but the workload reports belie that statement. The Wingham OPP supplies the "general law enforcement needs of five town- ships with a total population of about 10,000," Sgt, George explained. These are Howick, Turnberry, Morris, Grey and East Wawanosh Townships. "It's not that crime is more prevalent; it's that people are Tess inclined to solve their problems for themselves," he said, "If someone seems to have a problem, he calls the police," Two more recent additions to the Wingham OPP are Constables Dennis Jamieson and Ronald Cameron. Constable Jamieson, 36, came to Wingham in August, 1974 after serving in the Kitchener OPP since 1971. He is a native of Flin Flon, Man., and worked for Polymer Corp. of Sarnia for 13 years prior to joining the OPP. Constable Jamieson has three children, now in 'Toronto, and includes hunting among his interests, He is also a licensed pilot. Constable Cameron is almost as new to the OPP as he is to Wingham. He joined the Force in September and was assigned to this detachment in October 1974, He received his R.A. in sociology from Guelph University and joined the OPP "to find out what it's all about", he explained, 1 -lis schooling has helped "in a sense of interacting with people," he said, "but it's impossible to learn . the practical aspects in school." Constable Cameron, 24, is a Woodbridge native and lists amateur photography, tennis and reading as his outside interests. His wife, Iris, works at CKNX. It's in full swing..... Now! '?J' iete.

For general adoption information, consult your local Children's Aid Society. HE LIKES THE COUNTRY Grants first step for snowmobile plan Only six snowmobile clubs have applied for grants to the Wingham District Office of the Ministry of Natural REsources under the new program revealed last November, Over 15,000 has been earmarked for the area under the Wingham District office jurisdiction which covers Huron and Perth Counties and five bordering townships. The six applications received to date are from the Bluewater Town and Country Snowmobile Club, the Auburn Snowmobile Club, Hill and Dale Riders of Mildmay, Knight .Riders of Teeswater, the Formosa Snowmobile .and Club and the Palmerston Snowkins. Dan Mansell of the Wingham District office said the applica- tions have been forwarded to the Toronto office and the decisions should come within two weeks. The next step would be agree- ment with the clubs on the work to be done under the grants and funding needs, he said. The snowmobile trail mainten- ance program could involve about 200 miles of trails in the public area that might become public trails as defined by the Snow Vehicles Act, Mr. Mansell said. Two traisl on crown lands maintained by the Ministry of Natural Resources would also be involed in the plan, including a ten -mile trail at the Point Farms provincial park north of Goderich. The program was explained to representatives of 24 snowmobile clubs at a Nov. 27 meeting at the Wingham Legion Hall. lNfortna- tion on the number of trails, total miles, grooming and upgrading needs collected at the meeting is now under study• by the district office, Mr. Mansell explained, and;, maps., for, general use, of snowmobilers should become availabe in the near future, Mr. Mansell also said that any club may ask for signs for marking trails whether or not they have applied forgrants.The signs have not yet been. received by the district office but, the order has been submitted. \\\\\\\\\ ,\\\\\\\\\%\\\\\ 1975 sees the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Church Union which formed the United Church of Canada, the nation's largest Protestant denomination, In the year 1925, on June 10, the Presbyterian, Methodist, and Congregational churches of Canada united to form one body, The United Church of Canada, There were 8,000 congregations, 600,000 communicant members and 3,800 clergy. It was a memorable communion service in the old Mutual Street Skating Arena in Toronto when that union was consummated. A church that has arrived at the position of prestige in fifty years of steady growth that this one holds must have something unusual about it. Research has revealed that its roots stem from two divergent theological patterns - "Arminianism (belief in free will) and Calvinism (belief in predestination). It seems impossible that the two concepts could be merged into one religious faith, but this has been achieved. It was Lord,Cromwell who said, "The Lord had given him a clear view', and -this is the essence of Protestantism, • private judge- ment.based on conscience. The United Church has been a crusading church, It has come by this honestly, for the zealous Methodist circuit riders were the 'forerunners, and the rolls of the churches are studded with trail blazers. The people of this church are active in all phases of Canadian life, History records The United Church of Canada has played a prominent part in the develop- ment of this country. It is Canada's national church in some Find a rtuuung mate. AaRTIC/Aa[701 This Sunday, TI1FNW TRIBES MISS� IONS will take charge of the servic - speaking & singing at Huron Men's (hope Auburn ..1 at 8:00 p.m`;,, Al Welcome, "Evil Prev ils when Good Men do Nothing" \\\\\\MM\%\\\\MMIIMM respects. While it has no ambition to be a national church in the sense of a state church, it docs shoulder such responsibility by virtue of its concern to provide Christian ministry for all Canadian people regardless of race, color, condition or class, who are not being ministered to by another church. it carries on work in 30 different languages, and every Sunday its clergy preach in 20 tongues. The United Church of Canada is strong in all p)rts of this country with the exception of rural Quebec, It carries on work among all classes of people, providing service in the down- town areas, in rural place, in town and city, It supports mission personnel overseas in twenty countries. A unique feature of The United Church of Canada is that it never seeks to perpetuate or extend itself as a denomination overseas. in its work abroad it co-operates with national, free or united churches. Since 1925 over a score of new united churches have come into being. In Japan the church is called the "Kyodan" or the United Church in Japan. In Angola Canadian missionaries serve under the "United Church of Christ". Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Congregational- ists and some others make up the United Church of Zambia. In Southern India such a united church (The Church of South India) includes the Anglican. In Canada the ecumenical movement is very much alive. The United Church is still a uniting church and available to carry on conversations with interested church bodies. Its mottos is "Ut omnes Unum Sint" • the Latin translation of Jesus' words "That they all may be one", The United Church is committ- ed always to work with other churches that they all may be one. A union between the Anglican and United Churches has been discussed formally since 1943. The outcome of these discussions has not yet been finalized. Study groups of interested people are held in many churches to discuss church union. The Committee on Union and Joint Mission consisting of members of the Anglican, United and Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Canada, are working out the format for the new, unified church. The Committee has asked for a joint meeting of the national executives of the three churches for February 1975. It would be a fitting tribute to the celebration of the 50th birthday if the body of uniting churches was enlarged to include these also. •a.•_••_•._••_••_••_••_••_••_••_•._• I_•• •••.••••••• _I•_I._I•_•,_.•.VI_••_.

I have three close friends who found lumps in their breasts and went immediately to their doctors. (Each had a different physician.) All were told: "It's nothing --we'll watch it." In all three instances, the lunips were watched for nearly a year and each turned out to be a malignant tumor. These women had mastectomies but because they waited so long they developed bone cancer. Two have died, The third is taking a combination of drugs and' the prognosis is just fair. Please tell the doctors out there to perform biopsies at once and not take any chances with the lives of their patients. If the biopsied tumor is benign, nothing is lost. If it's malignant, the women can ai have her breast removed at once and her life may be saved. 1 was fortunate. My doctor did a biopsy immediately and re- moved by cancerous breast within minutes of the lab report. 1 recehtly passed the five-year mark and I thank God every day for the professional skill that saved my life. Sign me --HOPE- FUL FOR OTHERS DEAR HOPEFUL: Your letter hit close to home. One of my dearest friends went to TWO doctors with Iter lump in 'cr breast and was told it was "nothing" and to come back in six months. She didn't wait six months. She went to a third doctor who did a biopsy and removed her breast within a few days, Rather than direct my advice to doctors, I'm going talk turkey to my women readers. If YOU notice a lump in your breast, go to a doctor immediately and insist on an investigation, which may include a biopsy and mammo- graphy. If the doctor insists the lump is a harmless cyst, he can do a needle biopsy to support that statement or send you to a physician who is proficient at the technique. And now, a word of encourage- ment: Of the women who discover • lumps in their breasts, only one lump in fifteen is malignant. *** DEAR ANN LANDERS: I want to say "'Thank you" to that women who became a mother through adoption. 1t was generous of her to remember US. 1 say us because I am one of those who went through hell when 1 gave up my child. For twelve years 1 wondered if i did the right thing. After reading that women's letter I was sure my decision was right. Thank you, too, Ann, for your reply, "No city or initials this time. Let thousands of young women believe this lcttcr is for them." 1 ani one of those thousands who believes the lcttcr was written for me. --FEELING BETTER NOW DEAR FRIEND: What a day - brightener! Thank you. *** DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm a guy 18. My mom is hassling me about a girl 1 happen to think a lot of, Mom doesn't like Maggie be- cause she dresses very casual. Maggie goes for jeans, earth shoes in the winter, no shoes in the summer, no makeup except a little blue around the eyes.

BY BILL SMILEY NEXT week's column is going to be a real smasher, but in the meantime, I'm going to clear up a lot of Christmas things, most of them personals. If you don't like personal stuff, turn to another page. First of all, thanks to my Uncle Ivan for a cheery note. He is now the partriarch of the clan, on my mother's side. I am supposed to look like him, and act like him, I hope it's true, and that 1 do. I'd like to be a patriarch of something. When you are a patriarch, you are old and wise and everybody pays attention to you. 1 am old and stupid and nobody pays attention to me. Except my wife and gradbabby and students. Bless you, Ursula Brady of Vancouver. Remember how we kissed behind the car while Bob White and Pappy Warren and Dinny McManus tried to get it out How to help the handicapped As traffic accidents, strokes, age, diabetes and arthritis in- crease the number of physically disabled adults annually, more and more people are finding they have to lend a helping hand to a handicapped relative, friend or neighbour. For those who find themselves in this position, the March of Dimes has just published a handy booklet entitled "What You've Wanted to Know About Helping the Handicapped - But Were Afraid to Ask." This pocket -and -purse -sized guide provides the answers to such questions as what to do when coping with dressing, toiletry and feeding, the best and easiest method for getting a wheelchair into a car, even "how to overcome your embarrass- ment". The purpose of the booklet, according to James Good, Community Development Director for the new March of Dimes organization, is to help people, especially volunteers, overcome their fear and appre- hension so that they will work with, rather than for, the handicapped. "Although more and more opportunities for participation in community activities are becom- ing available for physically disabled adults, " he said, "paradoxically, the adult with a handicap depends more and more on volunteer assistance in order to take advantage of these new possibilities. Often the lack of family, for example, can put someone into an institution whereas with a little outside help, the individual could live at home." This assistance might be as simple as preparing meals or helping with personal care or transportation, which would be too expensive if done professionally. "What You've Wanted to Know About Helping the Handi- capped, But Were Afraid to Ask" is available free from your local March of Dimes centre or from the Provincial office, 12 Overlea Blvd., Toronto. Tel 425-0501 A personal column of the snow bank. Don't blush. It was beautiful. Thanks, Norm Lightford of Ottawa. You always remember. Do you remember the room we shared at college, with the bay window and the fireplace? Cannel coal on Sunday afternoons, stripped to the shorts, talking about life and women and stuff. And do you remember that I left in the middle of the year, and left you as sports editor of Toronto- nensis, and you flunked your year? George and Elda Cadogan. Do you remember the night you had a party for all the sharp young editors and their wives whom you had met at the newspaper convention? And it was the night of Hurrican Hazel? And only about four of us made it? Hello out there to a couple of characters. First, my "TV repair. man." Six times a year I get a pungent comment from him, but there is no identification beyond that. He lives in Westport, Ont. It is always signed the same way. "Your TV repairman." Here's his Christmas card, in part. "Merry Christmas, Smiley, and the biggest surprise of all, I like your column. You, I'm not so sure about. Are you trying to make us think you are old, with that grandpa bit? My kids are in their 50s and I'm not old." And more of the same. How do you deal with that old reprobate? And hello to another nut: Lt, Col. John McEwing, who sends an annual picture of his pipe band in, of all places, Spokane, Washington. This year's card is a splendid thing with four brilliant- ly colored quarters. I wish I could include the description of the coat of arms, but space forbids. Here's a sample: "The parti- colored shield Azure (Blue) and Gules (Red) is quartered saltire - wise by a St. Andrew's Cross, Argent (Silver), taken from the old Flag of Scotland." That's the essence. By some wild reach of logic and probability the remainder of the coat of arms ' drags in such disparities as the United States Air Force, the Cairn of the MacCrimmons, and Canada, "the home of many fine pipers." The Colonel winds up his message with: "I continue to greatly enjoy your writing. I have been told that whiskey improved with age," Thank you sir, and if you are correct in translating the Gaelic motto "Suas Leis A'Phiob Mhoir" as "Up with the Great Highland Bagpipe," 1 couldn't agree with you more, You might be interested, sir, in knowing that our local pipe band, including our favorite paper- hanger, Alastair Milligan, who sounds Irish but doggedly avers he is a Scot, is off to Miami with a pipe band, to play at some football Bowl or other. Perhaps the last Bowel of the Smileys, if he reads this. But 1 wander. 1 wanted to say that I am pretty disappointed in some people: Not a word from Dutch Kleimeyer. He usually asks me to the Last Reunion of the Last Fighter Pilots. Not a word this year. Maybe I'm the last, and they're all gone. 1 wouldn't be surprised. Last time I went to one, I returned on my last legs. I'm a little piqued that I haven't heard from Gene Macdonald, the man from Glengarry, last of the bigtime spenders; and Pete Hvidstcn of Uxbridge, last of the vital virile Vikings. There are old newspaper friends. Probably they both think I'm dead. Maybe I am, and I'm typing this in heaven, God forbid. Finally, thanks to Mary and Alan, George and Win, John and Helen, Bill and Joan, Karl and Michelle, and a host of others. By the way, the Acton Free Press is about to be a hundred years old. A hearty to Kay, Dave and Kathy Dills, And to everyone, fight a good fight in 1975. It's the only fight in town.

The dates arc January 11-18, 1975. We are making an effort to acquaint our community with the scientific evidence which shows that cigarette smoke can be harmful to non-smokers. Studies in smoke filled rooms indicate that the level of carbon monoxide may he in excess of the .legal limits for air pollution. Exposure to such concentrations of CO, can be a hazard to people suffering from allergies, heart and respira- tory conditions. Many people with none of the above conditions arc discomfort- ed by tobacco smoke, So it is increasingly important to protect non-smokers, especially in en- closed public places, public conveyances and in many work situations. Smoking and Health Week should considered "Con- sideration Week" - consideration of non-smokers who may be discomforted by tobacco smoke. We have asked the cooperation of municipal and county councils in the arca in proclaiming the week "Non -Smoking" or "Con- sideration Week", We hope they will ratify the "Non -Smokers Bill of Rights" forwarded to them. We regret that one of the Town Councils has denied the proclam- ation and has criticized this type of preventive program. This program would cost us very little and our hard working Education Committee still believes that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure". Our Association is composed of concerned citizens from all areas of the two counties. They give many volunteer hours to the Association and its work, The implied criticism of their judg- ment is unjustified. Funds are not spent on publicity per se. Each committee plans programs to aid all our people, either directly or indirectly and in order to make programs worthwhile, a Coming Event type of publicity is used. We do not receive any govern- ment grants and charitable gifts received are budgeted to the best of representative ability. At our Annual Meeting all are invited to hear reports of the stewardship of funds, We also encourage visits to our office to glean the extent of our activities, For example, the program the Council mentioned above suggested, has been in effect for approximately six years, to the extent budget will allow. Approximately sixty percent of adults arc non-smokers! We hope Councils in the arca will help these involuntary victims of tobacco smoke to obtain the right to a clean and healthy environ- ment! Yours very truly, Mrs. Beryl Davidson, Executive Director, Huron -Perth TB and Respiratory Disease Association, O.P.P. report During the week January 6 to .January 12 the following investi- gations were carried out by officers at Wingham Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police: Four investigations with four persons charged under the Liquor Control Act, Fifteen charges laid with twenty warnings issued under the Highway Traffic Act.

Memberships will be received and there will be door prizes.- rural rizes.- rural mailman BY ROBERT E. HULLEY 'The services to the rural arca Make life so smooth and sure. The milkman, to the dairy, If the weather, be good or poor. The bread man, with his happy smile The fuel man, never fails As they drive the country, mile by mile In rain, and sleet, and hail. These service men, you get to know As you meet them, day to day. But, there is one more, that is on the go You'd miss him, if he went away. He's the faithful, rural mailman, In his banged up, little car. Do you ever, really give a darn? How good, his conditions arc. You never get to meet him Or your face would sure be red. With the condition of your mailbox, being more than sin Yet, not a word, is said. The mail box door, just will not fit Unless you use both hands. The post leans way out, towards the ditch Just reach it if you can. The box is filled, with starlings nests Now look up at your home. How smooth and tidy, with little mess Did you hear that mail man groan? The snow plow sweeps the road so clean The conditions are the best. Now where docs all that west snow lean? Against the post, you bet. See, there comes the rural mailman With red flag on his car, to show But he'll have to be, a super- man To get near the box, for snow. Someday there may be a better way, To deliver mail, to country folk. 'Til then, let's vote him a raise in pay, For his conditions, are sure no joke.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 15, 1975, Continuing incidence of strikes one of farmer's many anxieties for the coming year WITH ADRIAN VOS At this time of year, the farmer, like any other businessman, takes a look at what happened in the year that has just passed and makes plans for the year ahead. He takes inventory and closes his books preparatory to the filling out of his tax forms. It has been a year of mixed blessings. High grain prices and low livestock prices. Late plantings, because of heavy spring rains and as a consequence corn that didn't mature before an early frost struck. Nothing new and we are full of hope that this year will give us good crops again, with a reasonable return for our work, our investment in money, in labour and in anxieties. One of our anxieties has been, and still is, the almost continuiing incidence of strikes that has hit our business, The strike at farm implement factories, at the grain handlers, at the packing houses, at the meat graders and, still going on, at the machinery parts warehouses. We heard of one farmer who needed a part for his combine at harvest time. The value of the part was $30, but because it had to be flown in from Western Canada, there was an additional charge of $88 for air freight. That buys a lot of groceries, even at todays prices. We just hope that this long strike will be settled before spring work commences. In Denmark, farmland can only be sold to farmers who vouch they will work that land, There is also a maximum limit on the size of Danish farms. No more than 500 acres is permitted, If you want the taste of whole milk without the fat content and you don't want to buy the new two percent milk, my wife tells me that you just mix one part of whole milk with on part of skim milk and you have the same result as when bought ready made, JANUARY CLEARANCE STARTING THURSDAY, JANUARY 16 9 a.m. /// coats! - dresses, - pan,,tcoat.s 1/3to 1/2iff j.: We have just what you wanted for Christmas . . . . . .
