What recession?
All the talk of recession obviously isn't having much effect of Blyth. Three local firms are
now in the process of expanding their facilities. At top, workmen carry reinforcing steel to be
used in major addition to house, hugh bulk storage tanks at Howson and Howson Ltd.
Bottom, Sparling's Propane has erected a new garage and A. Manning and Sons Lumber has
also begun expansion of a warehouse...staff photo.
School's sewerage problem
discussed . again..
The controversial Blyth Public School
sewerage problems got yet another airing
at the Huron County Board of Education
meeting in Clinton 'Monday.
Commenting on the final 1974 billing
from Harvey Dale of Clinton for pumping
and removing services resulting from the
de -activation of the school's septic system
for a total cost of $5,125, Trustee Alex
Corrigan said, "I don't think we should be
paying out this kind of money,"
Asked when he thought Blyth might
have a sewage system, John Elliott of Blyth
said, "the word is still 1976 but I am
doubtful, I predict another two years. I
they are trying." He said a suitable site
had not been found as yet that met
government approval,
Mr. Elliott said members of Blyth
council had been down to Toronto several
times and Murray Gaunt, MPP had been
working on getting the sewage project
underway but no progress has been made.
Mr. Elliott suggested that the problem at
the school should be a matter for study be a
committee.
R. E. Smith, Superintendent of
Education, reported the late school bus
from Central Huron Secondary School at
Clinton to Seaforth and Winthrop was
working satifactorily after being started on
January 13. He said students requesting
the service on each of the four days was as
follows: Monday --33; Tuesday --26; Wed-
nesday --24; and Thursday --27.
R. L. Cunningham, transportation
manager, said that while many had signed
up only 7 to 8 students were taking
advantage of the service each day.
The following secretaries have been
appointed to permanent staff: Mrs. Betty
Ro';s at Huron Central Secondary School
effective December 3; Mrs. Joan Pinder,
Clinton Public School; and Mrs. Jull
Melhuiah, Exeter Public School,
Early morning fire
causes $500 damage
A fire early Tuesday morning caused
about $500 damage to the home of Llyle
Youngblutt of Blyth.
Firemen were called to the Dinsley
Street Home at 3:45 a.m. to find a fire in
the recreation room where heat from a
Franklin stove had Ignited the women
studs in the wall despite insulation
shielding the wall from the fire,
The fire was extinguished with only a
moderate amount of damage.

Farmers brief cabinet
Power station said
not in the interests
of Huron
Premier William Davis 'and members of
the Provincial cabinet were told Wednes-
day that the proposed atomic power
generating station in Huron County is not
in the best interests of the residents of
the county.
The statement was contained in a brief
presented to the cabinet as it met in a
special session in London. The brief was
prepared by the Huron Power Plant
Committee, a committee made up of 18
farm commodity groups and several civic
groups in the county,
Chairman Adrian Vos of Blyth told the
cabinet that Huron County is 90 per cent
agricultural in base and any development
must be supportive of the main industry in
the area: agriculture,
"Clearly," the brief said, "a generating
development with its inherent transmission
corridors, its supportive industry and
additional building of service roads and
highways is not supportive to Huron's
main industry."
While it has been argued, the brief
stated, that the heavy consumption of
electricity by farms makes it necessary for
more generating stations to be built,
figures show that the farming industry
uses only two per cent of Ontario Hydro's
output while constituting 5 per cent of the
population.
"We are not intending to argue the need
of electricity as projected by Ontario
Hydro," the brief said. "What we are
disputing is the proposed location of the
plants and particularly the Central Huron
Plant,"
The brief pointed out excessive research
which showed the damage caused by air
pollution to white bean, and pea, corn,
potato and garden crops which could be
caused either by establishment of a fossil
fuel (oil or coal) fired generating station or
simply from the increased auto traffic
necessary to service a large power project.
Quoting the figures from the govern-
ment's own Ministry of Agriculture and
Food, the brief stated that the value of
bean production in Huron county in 1973
was nearly $17 million. Corn, which is also
suseptible to pollution, was worth $27
million to Huron county farmers and
potatoes, which could also be damaged,
meant $172,000 in 1973 to the Huron
county economy.
The brief said that acurate figures for
onions and other grown mostly in the
Grand Bend area near the proposed site
garden crops were unavailable but said a
conservative estimate of the worth of all
crops that could be affected is $50 million,
The brief also pointed out that potential
loss of farm land caused by power corridors
from the station. It dealt with the problems
of finding farm labour in competition with
the wages paid at the power plant. It spoke
of the problem of higher taxation required
to pay for the increased services needed by
personel building the power station.
The brief predicted that industry setting
up in the area around the power plant
would also gobble up prime farming land.
Mr. Vos minced no words in telling the
side of the farmers to the cabinet:
"When we as farmers have opposed
certain developments in the past we have
been accused of trying to impede progress,
but 1 ask you, what progress? Is it progress
when land that can feed thousands of
people year after year, is buried under
highways and factories? i maintain that it
is progress when we succeed in saving one
acre of food -producing land from that
process. By allowing Ontario Hydro to
establish their monster facilities in Huron
County in particular, and Southern Ontario
in general, the Ontario Government will
impede progress and future generations in
our country and preset t .enerations in
many other countries will pass ju !gement
on you gentlemen and 1 predict that the
judgement will be severe."
The brief urged location of future
generating stations be located in northern
locations along the north and east shores of
Georgian Bay to stimulate growth in the
areas and to relieve population pressure on
agricultural areas in the south.
While it is hard to find figures of savings
to prove the point, the brief said, it is
better to pay the extra money for power
lines from Northern Ontario than it is to
ruin good agricultural land in• the south.

This 'n' That
Little Theatre
plans play
At long last, Memorial Hall
theatre is about to get back into
use. With the installation of the
fire escape only finishing touches
are left to be done before the Hall
will again see action. The Dave
Broadfoot review, Take a Beaver
to Lunch is tentatively scheduled
to appear in the Hall on
Thursday, February 27, bring
professional theatre back to the
old stage for the first time in
many long years.
***
Before Mr. Broadfoot and his
side -kick Carol Robinson set foot
on the stage, however, Blyth
Little Threatre expects to have
already put on its first peform-
ance in the building. Organized
two years ago when it first
appeared the theatre would be
put back in use, the Little Theatre
hopes to put on a one -act play by
the younger branch of the group
and locally -written musical
comedy revue. That show will
take place in early February.
***
While the Hall is back in use it
is far from complete. The upper
balcony cannot be used because
of inadequate fire escapes and
there are no curtains on the stage.
The curtains part is a major
problem since the cost of new
curtains is no minor item. The
Little Theatre is investing money
to build a backdrop for the stage
which will help at least in part to
overcome the problem for the
present.
***
Subscribers may have noticed
this past week that their name on
the paper looked different than
usual. The Standard has imple-
mented a new mailing system
including new mailing machinery.
From now on the address will be
imprinted on each paper rather
than being stuck on with glue.
This will eliminate the problem of
name stickers falling off the
papers.
We would ask that you look at
your label and make sure it is
correctly addressed and if not, let
us know. On the label you will
find at the bottom the date of
expiry of your subscription. If
your label says, for instance, July
and the last number in the row of
figures following that is a five, it
means your paper is due at the
end of July, 1975. The new
system may be a little confusing
at first, but we feel it will improve
service to you when everyone gets
used to it.

Some 200 persons turned out to

Letter
to the editor
THE EDITOR:
To the man who drives the snow
plow on 11ullet1 Concession 8.9:
We don't know you - but we've
followed you in our car, or truck.
You rumble along in your great
machine - a permanent fixture on
county roads in winter weather.
No matter how rough that
weather, or how ranch it has
snowed, you're still there; like a
huge knife spreading so much
peanut butter.
We know you're just doing your
job, and sometimes you get
discouraged, sick and tired of it,
and i don't imagine all that cold
and' snow at three or four in the
morning turns you on either, but
we appreciate you being there.
You may be one of those people
whose services arc taken for
granted by man but we depend on
you and you do a good job.
My husband drives a good
distance to work, and to look out
of the window at seven a.m. and
see your reassuring bulk out there
clearing the way makes me feel
he'll reach his destination more
quickly, safely with men like you
on the job,
So keep up the good work, and
remember, even though we may
not say so often - you're needed
and appreciated. Everything
would certainly slow down with-
out you.
BEST OF LUCK ALWAYS.

Inaugural address
Hulielt Councillors reminded of responsibility
By Mrs. B. Shobbrook
The Inaugural meeting of Hullctt
township council was held on Monday,
January 13 at 11:00 a.m,
The number of ratcpaycrs present was
disappointing but council was encouraged
by the attendace of the Grade seven class
along with Principal Mr. Angus
McLennan. The clerk of the township Clair
Vincent opened the service and exolained
the organization of municipal government
and the hisotry then introduced the
incoming council to those present witness
taking the oath of office and allegence to
the Queen.
The new council consists of Reeve, John
Jewitt; Deputy Reeve, Joe Hunking;
councillors, Milton Dale, Tom Duizer and
Greg Brandon,
Rev, McDonald was speaker for
Inaugural service. He congratulated the
council on their election, He stated the
honour to them is not in being elected, the
honour is when you serve with wisdom
and humility the I est interests of all
persons of municipality.
"A trememdous responsibility has been
put in your hands not only towards the
persons present but to every citizen, that
the business be carried out with honesty,
truth and equality to every man," he said.
Rev, McDonald took as his theme
"Freedom", He stated to -day's society
wants freedom without responsibility." As
elected members, you are given freedom,
but with responsibility." Taking each letter
of the word Freedom, F is for Faith and
Faithfulness, R is for responsibility etc., he
closed with saying the fundamental
principles of justice, mercy, integrity and
respect for all human beings contained in
our Hebrew-christian tradition still stand.
The Reeve John Jewitt spoke on the
work of the council and his hopes for the
coming year. The basic need in any council
is to work together for the betterment of
the township. The Deputy Reeve and the
councillors then spoke briefly. The Reeve
then asked those present for any questions
they might have, which indicated a keen
interest.
The clerk then stressed to those present
that all council meetings were open to
anyone wishing to come and observe the
council in session.
Board sets up Health Co-ordinating Committee
BY WILMA OKE
The Huron County Board of
Education is interested in having
a School Health Co-ordinating
Committee established in the
county. The board chairman's
advisory committee was authoriz-
ed at a board meeting in Clinton
Monday to ask the Executive
Committee of Huron County
Council to meet to discuss setting
up the committee. It would
include elected representatives
from each body.
The suggestion to form the
co-ordinating Committee was
made in a letter to the Board by
Dr. G. F. Mills, Medical Officer of
Health for Huron.
Trustee Mollie Kundcr of
Seaforth, chairman of Education
Committee said with the co-
ordinating committee the board
would know ahead of time of new
types of programs introduced into
the schools of the county, such as
the birth control type of program
into the schools, which she
learned of second hand. She said
the sooner the board and council
committees meet the better.
Trustee Charles 'Phomas of
Brussels said the Board of Health
in Huron is different than in most
areas where the Board covers
more than one county or where
there arc separated cities or
towns. He said in Huron the
Health Board is directly account-
able to Huron County Council
only and the two boards are in a
position to co-operate more fully.

Recreation
Committee
Morris township now has a
recreation committee under a
bylaw passed at the inaugural
meeting of council on January 6.
The bylaw, under discussion
for some time, was given third
and final reading at the council
meeting. Appointees to the new
' committee were not named,
however.
Rev. John Roberts addressed
the new council: Reeve William
Elston, Deputy -Reeve James
Mair, and councillors Robert
Grasby, Thomas Miller and Sam
Pletch. James Mair expressed the
appreciation of the council for the
devotional period.
Renumberation for the reeve
was set at $750 with the deputy
reeve and councillors to get $600.
Convention rates for one conven-
tion a year were set at $15 plus
expenses,
Robert Grasby was appointed
to represent the township on the
Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority, William Stephenson
and Sam Pletch were appointed to
the East Wawanosh Recreation,
Parks and Community Centre
Board. Reeve Elston and Tomas
Miller will be township represent-
atives on the Blyth Area Fire
Board and James Mair and Sam
Pletch will sit on the Wingham
fire board.

attend classes at Robinson
Memorial School was referred
back to the Management Commit-
tee of the Board and the academic
superintendents of education for
further study. The parents feel it
is unfair for some of their children
to have to walk more than two
miles to and from school daily in
all kinds of weather to get to that
school when they have Victoria
Public School in their arca with
students up to Grade 6 only.
Ronald Bushell, representative
for the concerned Godcrich
ratepayers, in a letter to the
Board last month stated that all
the children should be bused who
have to walk one mile or more one
way to school and that while the
Huron County Board of Education
is carrying out a construction
program at Victoria School in
Godcrich "we would like to see
arrangements made for the
accommodation of Grades 7 and 8
to be taught at this school."
In his letter Mr. Bushell had
pointed out at the present time all
Separate School children in
Godcrich who attend St. Mary's
School and living more than one
mile away, arc bused to and from
school in the morning, at noon
and after school. "We feel if this
can be done for some children
in our area, , can be done for
all," he wrote.
R. L. Cunningham, transporta-
tion manager for the board,' who
had looked into costs of busing
these students, advised that the
quoted price from Huron Automo-
tive and Supply, Goderich, is $40
per day for a morning and after
school route around the perimeter
of Goderich (similar to the route
followed by the Huron -Perth
County Roman Catholic Separate
School Board) or $60 per day if
transporation is to be provided at
the noon hour.
D. J. Cochrane, Director of
Education, pointed out if a single
bus was used to make the double
run morning and night then some
students would be deposited at
the school long before bell time
and then would be late leaving
after school.
Mr. Cunningham said to use
two vehicles the total cost per day
was reported to be $80, and Mr.
Cochrane said he questioned the
extra high cost for this. E. Cayley
Hill of Goderich asked how much
grant was available and was told
93 per cent if below ceiling, but
that the $80 figure was above.
Mr. Hill said it was a "fairly
hot issue in Goderich" but it is
something that should not be
confined to Goderich and the
Management Committee should
look into other areas across the
county where students must walk
more than a mile from school, He
said the board would be open to
criticism if "we do differently
than the separate school board."
Three Field Trips were
approved: 20 students, members
of the Senior Outcrs Group at
South Huron District High School
for ati overnight excursion in the
Exeter area on January 24-25, at
no cost to the board; about 15
students, members of the Junior
Outcrs Group at Exeter for an
overnight excursion to the Hay
Swamp on January 24-25 at no
cost to the Board; and for 50
Grade 8 students at Clinton
Public School for an overnight
visit to the Maitland Block on
January 30-31 at a cost to the
Board for one supply teacher and
transportation.
An allotment of $4,500 was
granted to be used for a seminar
from after school on Thursday,
April 3 until noon on Saturday,
April 5, possibly at the Sutton
Park Inn, Kincardine or another
suitable location, to which would
be invited all elementary school
principals, principals of schools
for the trainable retarded, all
elementary school vice -princi-
pals, trustees and members of the
executive council and that
secondary school principals and
vice -principals be invited after
school on Friday to the conclusion
of the seminar.
Annrnval was elven for Mrs.
Marion Zinn, Lucknow and R. J.
Elliott, Blyth, to act on the budget
committee as representatives
from the Education Committee.
The board approved a motion
that Clarence MacDonald, Exeter
act on the budget committee as
representative from the Manage-
ment Committee but rejected a
motion that Jack Alexander of
Wingham be named to the
committee. Mrs. Mollie Kunder
of Seaforth first raised the
objection saying it was not right
for someone to be put on a
committee "when they would not
be here to attend." Mr.
Alexander has been holidaying in
Florida since December and is
reported to be staying until
March. The Management
Committee was asked to name
another member of the committee
to act in place of Mr. Alexander.
Three trustees were re -appoint-
ed to act on the Advisory
Committee on Schools of Train-
able Retarded Children for
1975.76• -Vice-chairman Herbert
Turkheim of Zurich, Mrs. Kunder
and Mrs. Dorothy Wallace of
Goderich.
The board approved the group
insurance coverage endorsed by
the Ontario Trustees Council for

Time to take advantage
The same little line appeared on the bottom of two press releases
from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority that arrived this
week: "All member municipalities will bear the Authority's share of
the cost."
That little line has been appearing on the bottom of a lot of press
releases from the MVCA. Nearly always, the cost of the projects that
must be carried by the residents of Blyth is relatively small (last year's
assessment was only $816.31). Yet the fact remains about all most
people ever know about the MVCA is that they must help pay the bills.
It's not the fault of the MVCA of course. The fault lies in our own
town. If you don't ask for something. you're not likely to get it. Aside
from flood -plain mapping a couple of years back, there has been
nothing in Blyth so urgently needed that the Authority felt it had to act.
There are many other areas where action is needed more desperately.
Still, by going to the Authority with a project in mind, our local
council could spur action on say, something like a park along the river.
Through the Authority grants for such work are available. 'through the
Authority expertise is available.
Not that taxpayers should expect something for nothing. If such a
park were built, Blyth taxpayers would pay the costs over and above
the grants unless it was decided that the park benefited more than just
Blyth, in which case the cost would be spread among the other
.municipalities.
There is no doubt the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority is one
of the best bargains around. It's just that we should be taking more
advantage of that bargain a little more.
So what's a contract?
The great Hollywood movie Mogul Sam Goldwyn has become
famous over the years for some choice mixed metaphors. One that
comes to mind was his statement that "A verbal contract is not worth
the paper it's written on."
Today, Sam, it seems that even written contracts aren't worth the
paper they're written on.
There was a time when a hand shake was considered by nearly
everyone as a inviolable agreement. When the lawyers' lobby made it
necessary that everything be written on paper, the written agreement
was something respected by everyone. If you made a deal and it turned
out it wasn't in your best interests, you'd just grin and bear it.
Today though, the contracts might as well be written on toilet tissue:
at least they'd be some good when you threw them out. If a hockey or
football player is getting a hundred grand a suddenly someone else
gets a hundred and a quarter, then the player expects his contract to be
re -written.
If a union signs a contract for a 10 per cent wage increase for next
year and the cost of living goes up 11 per cent, the union expects the
contract to be torn up and a new one issued giving the workers 20 per
cent increase. Contracts? Heck, they only exist to be broken.
Perhaps there would be a little more respect for contracts if they
were enforced more tightly, but that seems to be taboo these days. If a
union breaks its contract and goes on strike, it won't get any more
punishment than an odd editorial from a stirred -up weekly newspaper
editor or a letter to the editor from some "reactionary" in a city
newspaper.
If a baseball player breaks a contract, he'll likely be traded at worst.
If an owner breaks a contract, the baseball player is likely to end up a
millionaire.
Contracts? they aren't worth a thing except to the lawyers who
are getting rich drawing them up and figuring out how to legally break
them.
Some good, some bad
The appointment of Darcy McKeough as Treasurer of Ontario last
week by Premier William Davis just illustrates how far out of touch
with the Ontario voters Mr. Davis is.
There is hardly a less popular man in the province of Ontario than
Mr. McKeough (although Mr. Davis is running close along with Pierre
Trudeaul. Not only do people still remember the shadow over his head
that made Mr. McKeough resign from the treasury the first time
around, but they also just plain dislike him. His arrogance seems
typical of the arrogance of the whole government. He carries the same
"we -know -what's -best -for -your -children" attitude toward the voter
that the government in general does.
In fact, Mr. Davis could hardly have handed a nicer gift to
Opposition Leader Robert Nixon than the appointment of Mr.
McKeough.
While Mr. Davis was not endearing himself to the people last week,
Eric Winkler, chairman of the Management Board, was at least taking
steps in the right direction. Mr. Winkler suggested that cabinet
members take a five per cent cut in pay to illustrate their concern with
fighting inflation.
It would be easy to ascribe political motives to this offer but political
or not, Mr. Winkler should be thanked for the suggestion. Far better
such a move than the proposal of the federal Members of Parliament to
increase their salaries by a third. Someone has to take the first step in
putting a halt to the inflationary spiral and our leaders should set the
example. If it wins a few votes, so be it.

Huron M.P.P. Jack Riddell explains tax credit system
With the new year bringing
income tax time, Huron M.P,P.
Jack Riddell took time last week
to explain the Ontario Tax Credit
system,
"The Ontario Tax Credit
System which incorporates the
Property Tax Credit, the Sales
Tax Credit and the Pensioner Tax
Credit will provide tax credit
benefits in excess of $375 million
for the 1974 taxation year and will
distribute these benefits among
Ontario residents on a broad and
equitable basis. To ensure that
the benefits of these credits are
distributed to those most in need
of tax relief, the total tax credit
entitlement is reduced by two
percent of taxable income. Thus
the amount of tax credit available
to any taxpayer depends on
family circumstances, age, in-
come and the property tax or rent
he or she pays, subject to an
overall maximum of $500. Pen-
sioners may be eligible for all
three tax credits.
"The Ontario Tax Credit
System is part of the personals
ministered by the Federal
Government. in order to obtain
the various tax credits you MUST
fill out the special purple
coloured tax credit form included
with the income tax schedules
and file it and an income tax
return, even if you have no
taxable income.
"The tax credits will be applied
to reduce any outstanding liability
for income tax, Canada Pension
Plan and unemployment insur-
ance contributions. Where the
value of Ontario's tax credits
exceeds these liabilities, the
Department of National Revenue
will send out one refund cheque
which will include whatever
Federal funds are payable and the
tax credits paid on behalf of
Ontario.
"To be eligible to participate in
the Ontario Tax Credit System,
the claimant must be a resident of
Ontario on the last day of the
taxation year. If he was not an
Ontario resident on that date, he
is not eligible. Thus anyone who
moved out of Ontario to another
part of Canada during 1973 is not
eligible for any tax credits unless
he moved back to Ontario on or
before December 3.1, 1973.
Where, on December 31 an
individual is temporarily absent
from Ontario, he may be
considered an Ontario resident on
the last day of the taxation year,
unless he files an income tax
return as a resident of another
province at the end of the taxation
year. For individuals who left
ONTARIO AND CANADA during
the taxation year, the last day of
the taxation year is the day on
which they ceased to reside in
Ontario and their eligibility for
tax credits must be determined as
of that date.
"No individual under age 16 on
December 31, 1973 is eligible to
claim any tax credit. Other
criteria for eligibility relate
specifically to the individual tax
credits.
PROPERTY TAX CREDIT
"In Ontario Property Tax
Credit may be claimed by all
individuals resident in Ontario on
December 31, 1974, except
persons under age sixteen at the
end of 1974, and persons under
age 21 at the end of 1974 who live
at home and are claimed as a
dependent. The property tax
credit must be claimed by the
spouse having the higher taxable
income. Only the property tax or
rent paid in respect of your
principal residence may be
included in determining
occupancy cost. Property tax or
rent paid in respect of a second
residence or cottage may not be
included in occupancy cost.
"The property tax credit
formula for 1974 is the lesser of
$180 or occupancy cost, plus 10%
of occupancy cost. For home-
owners, occupancy cost is
property tax paid in 1974. For
those who rent, occupancy cost is
20% of rent paid in 1974. For
college, university and nursing
students living in "prescribed"
student residences, occupancy
cost is $25,00
"Residents of institutions
operated under the Homes for the
Aged and Rest Homes Act, the
Homes for Special Care Act, the
Nursing Homes Act and The
Charitable Insitutions Act arc
ineligible to claim as occupancy
cost any portion of payments
made to these institutions if such
institutions do not pay property
tax. Where such institutions do
pay property tax, residents may
include as rent for the purpose of
calculating occupany cost, pay-
ments actually made over and
above amounts subsidized under
health care programs.
Individuals occupying public
housing units or senior citizens'
housing units (such as the low
rental housing owned or operated
by the Ontario Housing Corpora-
tion) are eligible for the Property
Tax Credit using the rent they
actually pay in calculating their
occupancy cost,
"A roomer is eligible to
calculate his occupancy cost
based upon the rent he pays for
his room, which is his principal
residence.
"A principal Taxpayer who
paid property tax or rent for a
farm property which. includes his
principal residence may be
eligible to calculate occupancy
cost and claim a Property Tax
Credit.
"Rent or property tax paid in
respect of farm land that is
separately assessed for municipal
tax purposes from the land on
which the principal residence is
located, must be excluded in the
calculation of occupancy cost. The
total rent or property tax paid for
farm land, farm buildings, and
residence assessed together for
municipal tax purposes, may be
included in calculating occupancy
cost.
"If there is more than one
residence on the farm, the owner
or renter must exclude from the
calculation of occupancy cost all
property tax or rent applying to
the other residences,
"A farm owner or tenant is not
required to reduce the calculation
of occupancy cost by any amount
of property tax claimed as a
deduction from income for income
tax purposes, or any amount paid
to hint under the Ontario Farm
Tax Reduction Program.
SALES TAX CREDIT
"Most Ontario residents who
file an income tax return arc
eligible to claim this tax credit
except persons under the age of
16 at the end of 1974 and persons
claimed as a dependent for
income tax purposes by any
other, person in Ontario.
"The Sales Tax Credit Formula
for 1974 is the same as 1973, that
is, o-ne percent of personal
exemptions.
"The Sales Tax Credit may be
claimed in the income 'tax return
filed for a deceased person with
respect to the part of the year that
he was alive. The surviving
spouse may claim a separate
Sales Tax Credit if he or she was
not claimed as dependent on the
income tax return filed for the
deceased in that year.
PENSIONER TAX CREDIT
"The Ontario Pensioner Tax
Credit may be claimed by
individuals resident in Ontario
1974, except for a married couple,
both of whom are age 65 or over
at the end of that year living in
the same principal residence; in
which case, only the spouse with
the higher taxable income is
entitled to claim this credit.
"Where both spouses are 65 or
over and neither spouse has a
taxable income, the Pensioner
Tax Credit must be claimed by
the same spouse, who is claiming
the Property Tax Credit, except
when no Property Tax Credit is
being claimed, in which case
either spouse, but not both, may
claim the Pensioner Tax Credit.
"The Pensioner Tax Credit
may be claimed in the income tax
return filed for a deceased person
if the deceased was 65 years of
age or over at his death and was,
himself, a principal taxpayer who
was under age 65 at the death of
the deceased. The surviving
spouse may then be able to claim
a separate Pensioner Tax Credit
without reference to any tax
credit that was claimed for the
deceased spouse. The surviving
spouse must be age 65 or over to
claim the Pensioner Tax Credit.

spotting soil. For an unusual
effect, apply the first layer of fine
sand only one-third to three-
quarters of the way around the
glass. Apply the second layer
over part of the first fine sand
layer and over the portion of
coarse and still uncovered. Use
the scone method when applying
the remaining Fine sand layers,
When the sand layers are in
place, carefully pour the potting
soil into the hollow center and set
the plant. You can spread coarse
chips or sand over the topsoil, or
leave it exposed.
Water sandscape plants spar-
ingly. "Renumber," sayd Mr.
Hughes, "most glass containers
do not allow for drainage, so
excessive water can accumulate.
Water deep enough to reach the
bottom of the potting soil can kill
many otherwise suitable bottle

Almost everyone can tell you what a newspaper is.
In Canada it is either a daily or weekly. Nearly 80
per cent of all Canadians read a newspaper every
week. They contain news about you and your town.
But there are newspapers and in many places there
are "shoppers" or "throwaways." Some contain
some news, they serve a purpose, but their primary
purpose is advertising. And, they do not legally
qualify under the definition of a newspaper.
But what is the legal definition of a newspaper?
The most common definition under postal
regulations: "The primary purpose of such
publication is to Inform the public, and it must have
a paid following of readers."
Your local newspaper's prime function is to present
the news ... honestly and fully. That's all. They
offer maximum local identification Kith your
community. And their paid circulations arr positive
proof of their merit, their influence and their beim
wanted in your community.

From the Minister's Study
Dedicate life to Christ
BY STAN MCDONALD
The Minister's Study continues during January to suggest further
steps that we can take, as we look forward to 1975, in order to
experience a deeper level of spiritual life and service. I'm going to
suggest that we should dedicate ourselves to a life of greater loyalty to
Christ and His Church. This sounds like a minister, doesn't it. But, I
feel that inevitably follows the other suggestions that I have made,
For example, you cannot pray in the manner that I have been
suggesting without it having a reflex action upon your own personal
behaviour. One of the ways in which this will have results will be in
your attitude toward Christ and His Church. Why do you go to church
on Sunday morning? Do you enjoy the beautiful music furnished by the
choir? Do you hope to' hear an inspiring sermon that will help you
forget your troubles, and make you feel good on the inside, at least for
a little while? 01• course, that is part of the purpose of a church service.
13u1 if that is all it docs for you, then I'm afraid that the choir and
minister are wasting their time. If that is all that the church service
means to you, then perhaps Karl Marx was right, and religion is the
opiate of the people.
The Christian religion means more than hearing. It is a dynamic
religion. It means doing. What arc you doing in the church? Is your
sole contribution to the life of a church the money that you put into the
collection plate? Is Christ for you a beautiful historical teacher who left
us a heritage of some pretty words and stories that we repeat raid think
at those few when we have a feeling of good will in our hearts to our
fellow Hien? Or is He a living character who imparts strength to your
life, a Divine campanion on whom you can Mean and who gives you
strength to meet the temptations and battles of life?
To_ His disciples Christ was Master. That meant that His principles
were an intregal part of their lives. But it was never intended by Christ
that His principles could believe out in the lives of those who did not
dedicate their lives to Hini. Take the Golden Rule, for example. Car. we
live the Golden Rule...DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD THAT
THEY SHOULD TO UNTO .YOU.,,can we live that out in our own
strength? Try it sometime. We really can't do it. Why? Because it is
contrary to our animal nature. Our pugnacious instinct is in conflict
with it, Our natural desire is to put ourselves first, It is only when we
commit our life to Christ and let Him have dominance of it that we can
practice the Golden Rule,
If we dedicate our life to Christ, it inevitably follows that we will also
dedicate our life to the divine institution which he himself established -
The Church. The church is not an option for Christian people. it is a
necessity. The Church is the divine agency for the perpetuation of the
Gospel. it is not a theatre to which we conic to be entertained. It is
more of a workshop to which we come on Sunday mornings to receive
our direction for the week. 1 know, that we can look forward with faith
.and optimism to 1975 if we dedicate ourselves to.a life of greater loyalty
to Christ and His Church.
Subdivisions
approved
for Ripley
Two subdivisions could add 55
per cent to the population of
Ripley have received approval
from the Bruce South planning
board.
Both subdivisions are proposed
for the north end of the village, on
opposite sides of Huron Street.
The 16 -acre property of Taurum
Investments Ltd. of Waterloo,
would include 49 single-family
dwellings, while the 20 -acre
subdivision of J. J. Huber of
Ripley, would include 43 units.
in approving the sub -divisions,
the planning board tossed the ball
to Ripley council as full and
immediate development of both
areas could push the village's
population past the 800 figure
projected in the Ripley official
plan.
Ripley's present population is
520 and planning director
Malcolm Campbell recommended
that the two sub -divisions be
approved only in part. The two
areas have a population potential
of 294, the planner said.
A 25 -unit senior citizens home
also will be built in 1975 and a
William Street development of 17
units is probable. The village has
56 potential building lots as well,
although Ripley Reeve Clayton
Nicholson said most of these
cannot be built on because of
legal and other complications.
Proximity to Ontario Hydro's
construction project at Douglas
Point will spur growth in Ripley,
it is predicted,
Warden J.P. Johnstone asked
if Kincardine is happy with plans
for a subdivision in Huron
Township, just south of the town.
Planning chairman Vernon Emke
of Chesley said Kincardine has
asked the developer to pay the
town $650,000 to provide
services.
By-law for $8 million approved
A borrowing by-law for eight
million dollars was approved for
the Huron County Board of
Education Monday, to borrow if
necessary to carry on board
business.
To the question as to whether
the board had ever borrowed the
full amount R. B. Dunlop,
superintendent of Business
Affairs, replied the most was half
a million and only for a day or a
few days to tide the board over
Until a grant payment came
through.
John Elliott, Blyth, discussed
interest rates paid by different
banks and Cayley Hill, Goderich
and Charles Thomas, Brussels,
agreed that rates should be
investigated and Mr. Dunlop was
authorized to re -negotiate terms
with the Bank.
Mr. Dunlop suggested that if
the board asked for.school levies
to be paid • oftener than twice
yearly by the various municipali-
ties then interest would be down
considerably.
Cayley Hill was appointed
chairman of the Board's Ad Hoc
Salary Negotiating Committee
with the teachers `and he was
given authority to choose a
committee of five additional
trustees.
Miss Mary Campbell, student
services teacher, has completed
her probationary teaching
contract satisfactorily and was
given a permanent contract
effective January 1,
An amending by-law was
approved for the chairman's
advisory committee to include the
past chairman of the board if still,
on the board so that the
committee will be composed of.,
the chairman of the board, the
vice-chairman of the board, the
chairman of the education and the
management committees and the ,
past chairman, but if he is no\
longer on the board • then a
member at large is to be elected
as the fifth member of the
committee at the Inaugural.'
Meeting.
An admentment was made to
the by-law that the chairman's
advisory committee shall act as an
external relations committee of
the board to deal with liaison,
coniniunications and problem
affecting harmony, and co-opera-
tion between the board and
representatives of the news
media.
Mrs. Dorothy Wallace and E.
Cayley Hill, both of Goderich,
were appointed to attend a public
meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 5,
in Goderich regarding the pro-
posal to widen Highway 21 from a '
two-lane to a four -lane highway. ,
in Goderich in the Victoria
Street—Britannia Road --Bayfield
Road area.
Mrs. Wallace and Cayley Hill
had expressed their concern at an
earlier board meeting that the
school crossing at Victoria Public
School over this widened highway
and the changes in the present
traffic pattern would make the
area extremely dangerous. They
had requested some safety
improvements for Victoria
students be considered.
Clarence Ball, custodian at
Central Huron Secondary School
will be retiring effective January
31, and Kenneth C. Bridges,
audio-visual technician, South
Huron District High School, will'
retire effective June 30. Mr. D.
Gower will be promoted to the'
position of night supervisor to fill
Mr. Ball's position.
David Jefferson submitted his
resignation from Goderich
District Collegiate Institute effec-
tive December 31, 1974 and Mrs.
Janice Brouillette to Robertson
Memorial Public School and
Randal Smith to Student Services
has been engaged on probation-
ary contracts effective January 1.
Miss Janice Bontrhon has accept-
ed a transfer to Usborne Central,
Public from Robertston Memorial
effective January 1. •
Liaison bus drivers' renumera-1
tion was raised to $25 per bus per
year effective January 1 in
addition to their regular salary.
They had received $15. Liaison
drivers work out of the following
schools: Brookside, Grey,
Howick, Stephen and Turnberry.
While travelling on board
business trustees will received a
mileage allowance of 15 cents per
mile effective January 1, up from
10 cents.
Chairman Wilfred Shortreed,
representative of the board on the
Board of Directors of the Ontario
Public School Trustees' Associa-
tion for 1975 said he had attended
a director's meeting and had been
appointed to the executive
committee from zone 4 to fill the
vacancy on the council when
Terry Ferris, London retired as a
trustee in December.
Grant
to M.V.C.A.
The Honourable Leo Bernier,
Minister of Natural Resources
announces the approval of a
provincial grant of $11,100.00 to
the Maitland Valley Conservation
Authority for the proposed
Sharp's Creek Wildlife Preserve.
The Authority has an ongoing
program of acquiring lands on
Sharp Creek and its headwaters
in the Saratoga Swamp for the
purposes of maintaining water
storage, wildlife habitat, fisheries
values and groundwater supplies
in the area.
The Authority now proposes to
acquire a 100 -acre parcel of land
in the Township of Colborne for
the establishment of the Sharp's
Creek Wildlife Preserve. There
are no buildings on the site.
Sharp Creek crosses the property
at the south -cast corner. The
lands is low and swampy at the
south boundary rising slightly to
the north. While the property is
densely wooded, the timber has
no marketable value at the
present time,
All member municipalities will
bear the Authority's share of the
cost.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: Your
statement that there is no
"blanket answer for the import
ance of sex in marriage" was
priceless.
I have never read anything like
it anywhere else. It seems so few
people are willing to concede that
a marriage can succeed without a
lot of sex.
My husband and I, fortunately,
both have low sex drives. He is a
successful professional man, 44.
am 40. We have two sons, 9 and
10, enough to keep us exhausted.
When my husband conies home
from the offico (after a 10 -hour
day) whatever energy he has Icft
usually goes to the boys -•which is
fine with me. They need his
fathering more than I need sex.
As you so aptly put it, "Trouble
arises when a 'Secretariat' is
hitched to a candidate for the glue
factory,"
We are BOTH candidates for
the glue factory. But we love and
respect each other and our
marriage is as sound as a dollar.
Sign me --HAPPY
DEAR HAPPY: I'm glad your
marriage is sound --but please use
another simile, Lady. At last
count, the dollar was worth 64
cents.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: in regard
to the dispute regarding the
appearance of kitchens to be
found in Utopian households,
may 1 say i think you are all nuts.
What difference does it make if
the dishrag (or cloth, whatever
you want to call it) is draped over
the faucet, wadded up in the
corner of the sink, or hanging en a
nail someplace?
Furthermore, a dame who
MUST keep her soap dishes clean
should seek professional help.
And if a woman feels she has to
iron her sheets and towels, she is
unquestionably beyond help.
•-CALL ME CASUAL AND
CONTENTED
DEAR C AND C: 1 believe every
woman should keep house to
please herself. If her husband
doesn't complain, it's nobody's
business if she has pigs in the
kitchen and a flea circus in her
linen closet.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 believe
it is very important to have a
sense of humor. i thank God that 1
have always been able to laugh
at myself. But because of this,
people make me that butt of all
their jokes.
I like to clown around and make
people laugh, but inside this
clown is a real person with very
real feelings. Folks don't seem to
understand that.
There are certain people who
arc born tormentors, and it's to
TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
THE TORONTO D. U.PJ SYNDICATE
Jim is 12, a healthy, active boy who loves the outdoors. He
would like to live on a farm. In a .arm foster home he joined
enthusiastically in everything from gardening to feeding the
animals.
Slightly built, Jim has brown eyes, dark hair and fair freckled
skin. He needs glasses for near-sightedness but often con-
veniently forgets them. He is keen on sports, playing hockey,
baseball and football. He's not a star athlete but is always ready
for a game.
Jim has progressed from opportunity class to the regular
school stream where he is receiving special education in Grade
seven. His marks are excellent and he enjoys school.
Pleasant, polite Jim needs parents who will encourage his new
interest in school without demanding more than he can achieve.
It will be good if there are other children in Jim's adopting
family.
To inquire about adopting Jim, please write to Today's Child,
Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K,
Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, consult
your local Children's Aid Society.

them that I direct niy remarks.
Please realize. that sometimes the
"life of the party," that clown,
goes home and cries after all the
laughing is over—because you
haven't said one decent thing all
night. This includes wives,
husbands, brothers, sisters and
others who are close,
1 guess what I'm pleading for is
a little kindness—some sensitivity
to the feelings of others. Even
though we "goats" may be
laughing and even setting our-
selves up to play the part, we do
get hurt—and plenty. --BITING
THE BULLET
DEAR BITING: Thank you for a
letter that really moved me. I
know you well. I've seen you in
the classroom and at parties,
family gatherings --everywhere.
I've often wanted to take you
aside and say, "Can't you see
that your need for attention, your
hunger for recognition is a
sympton of deep feelings of
inadequacy?" But I know it
wouldn't help ,because that need
goes very deep and you ought to
be in therapy.

Meats with approval
The difference between meat
inspection and meat grading is
often preplexing to consumers.
While grading is done only to
inspected nkat, the fact that not
all inspected meat is graded adds
greatly to the confusion.
Inspection and approval of the
meat begins while the animal is
alive, continues through the
packing process and concludes
only when the meat leaves the
packing plant, according to Dr. G.
C. Fleming, a veterinarian with
the Veterinary Services branch of
the Ontario Ministry of Agricul-
ture and Food.
The Ministry licenses 255 meat
packing plants in Ontario, many
of them small compared to the
large well-known plants. The
Ontario approved plants process-
ed more than 450,000 red meat
carcasses last year. They serve
the needs of the local contniunity
by providing custom -kill services
for farmers and urban customers,
and cutting, wrapping, and
fast -freezing for the hone freezer
trade. Sonic have retail outlets as
well.
Provincial approval of the
meat, indicated by a stamp
"Ontario Approved", ensures a
wholesome product that has been
handled in a sanitary manner and
properly cooled, Dr. Fleming
explains. Meats stamped
"Canada Approved" have been
processed in one of the plants
under federal inspection and can
be exported.
Both the "Ontario Approved"
and the "Canada Approved"
indicate that the meat has been
inspected for wholesomeness
under veterinary supervision.

Combine new roses with varieties
Go ahead. Plant a few of the
new rose varieties available this
spring. "But remember," warns
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food horticulturist D.B.
McNeill, "while these new roses
have been tested several years,
climate and soil conditions in your
garden niay affect their perform-
ance. They simply have not been
tested by the test of time."
Tried-and-true varieties, such
as Peace, Tropicana and Sutter's
Gold, should form the foundation
of every new rose garden.
Because they need little care and
produce many good blooms year
after year, they prevent a garden
from looking bare if one of the
new varieties nearby fails.
"Remember, the good varieties
sell quickly," advises Mr.
McNeill. "To avoid disappoint-
ment, order both new and
well-known roses soon from
garden centers and catalogues."

Be gentle
with frozen
branches
A tree is a tower of strength --
except when it is frozen and
brittle.
To avoid injuring frozen trees
and shrubs, especially ever-
greens, handle them gently when
removing snow and ice. Brush off
the snow and prop up ice -laden
branches until melting begins.
Carefully help branches back
into place when they have been
weighed down by snow or ice.
"Remember, rough, sudden
shaking can cause branches to
snap," warns Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food horticultur-
ist D.Q. McNeill, "so be gentle!"
If evergreens are wrapped in
twine or plastic mesh with
branches pointing upward, the
snow and ice will slip off more
readily and will not need to be
removed so frequently, he
suggests.

Hair-raising
questions
BY BILL SMILEY
'111FRE are a lot of questions
floating around in the murky
depths of nay mind, and occasion-
ally one floats to the surface. It is
usually slapped clown by someone
(niy wife?), or just given a good
shot of Raid, and lies over on its
side and expires.
But recently, the questions
have been boiling up like bubbles
in a thundermug. 1 felt I should
share them with my long-suffer-
ing readers, and among the six of
us, we might be able to come up
with some answers, (By the way,
if you don't know what a
thundermug is, ask your Mum.
Your Dad would be too shy to
explain)
They are not exactly burning
questions, but they do create a
small smoulder, from time to
time.
Why are so many men addicted
to hairy appendages to their
craniums these days? i can
understand any chap growing a
beard to hide a weak chin, I can
understand any young man trying
to grow a beard, It's part of
growing up.
But why all these Fu Manchu
moustaches? They add nothing
whatever to a face that has no
character, and they detract from
one that does,
I'm glad I'm not a girl. It must
be revolting to kiss a young man
and wind up with a mouthful of
hair.
When I got back to England
from prison camp, 1 had a
beautiful handlebar job which had
taken hie nine months of constant
upsweeping to achieve. It came
off 20 minutes after I'd looked up
my first old girl friend. She said it
was like kissing a cow's ear. Blunt
but honest, she was.
And why do all those older
guys, who are skin -bald for the
first two-thirds of their skulls,
insist on growing those long,
greasy, forlorn ringlets at the
backs of their heads, falling down.
over their collars? Thcy fool
nobody. It doesn't make them
look more virile. It merely makes
them look scruffy, and silly.
They remind me of the guys
who used to comb carefully across
a completely naked pate eight
strands of long hair from their
sideburns. Why not face it,
chaps? if you have a big belly,
stick it out and pat it. if you're a
baldy, you're a baldy, and you
wash your hair with a facecloth.
1t doesn't seem to bother the
ladies. Yul Brynner has been a
sex symbol for years. And that
Telly Savalas, or whatever his
name is, that mean -looking guy
on TV (Rojack? Hojak? Wojak?)
seems to be 'on every second
program, bald as an egg, and
about the same shape.
1 remember an elderish lady
whose chief delight was putting a
needle into people. She was as
bald as a billiard ball on top, but,
by a clever contrivance of buns
and piling -up, she managed to
cover it. Or so she thought.
Ii her joky way, one day, while
I had my head bent over a book,
in my usual scholarly fashion, she
snatched my crown and chortled,
"My, you're getting a little thin
on top."
it didn't bother me. i was. If it
had, I could have said something
cruel. Like, "O.K., Rapunrel, let
down your hair and we'll climb up
and have a look at what you've
been hiding all these years."
I couldn't. But 1 didn't like the
old bat, and it was time someone
blunted her needle. So, I stood
up, walked around her twice, my
eyes glued to her bum, which
looked like the east end of a cow
going west, smiled, and said
gently, "Yes, my dear, but
perhaps it's better to be getting a
little thin on top than gargantu-
ously thick on the bottom."
She scuttled to the coffee urn,
eyes atwitter to see if anyone had
heard, and shut her mouth for
three whole days. I think it was
the word 'gargan1uously' that
!long her,
This started out as a question
period, and is turning out to be a
piece about hair. Sorry. I've
nothing against hair, as such.
1'ni not one of those back -to -the
•brushcut people. Lordy, if
someone made all niy. students
(male) cut their hair, I'd have to
learn their names all aver again,
and it's already taken me three
months to identify the shaggy
dogs,
in fact, I rather enjoy the
modern novels, which state that,
"She ran her hands through his
long, silken hair," just as much
as the old novels which stated
that, "He ran his hands through
her long silken hair." Men's Lib.
If you can find some silken hair,
which is a lot scarcer than you
think, grab onto it and run your
hands through it.
Onc group I do feel sorry for
during this fad is the old-fashion-
ed barber, There's no such thing
as a young barber. The young
ones are all hair stylists. For the
old-timers, business is pretty
sketchy. Some of them are cutting
so little hair these days - the odd
gray lock here, another there -
that they don't even need a broom
(o sweep the floor. They just use a
garden rake.
I'm sorry, This started out as a
column of questions about the
energy mass, politicians who
need a 33 per cent raise in pay
and other such, and it wound up
as nothing but another of my
hairy columns.
No wonder my lite is such a
mess. l can't keep to the trail. I'm
like a finely trained deerhound
who goes haring off after a hare
when he should be pursuing a
buck.

Old story:
new application
Perhaps the modern day
situation is documented by the
following story;
Once upon a time there was a
Little Red Hen who scratched
about and uncovered some grains
of wheat, She called her barnyard
neighbours and said, "If we work
together and plant this wheat, we
will have some fine bread to eat.
Who will help me plant the
wheat."
"Not I," said the Cow. "Not
1," said the Duck. "Not I," said
the Goose, "Then I will," said the
Little Red Hen and she did.
After the wheat started grow-
ing, the ground turned dry and
there was no rain in sight. "Who
will help me water the wheat?"
said the Little Red Hen.
"Not I," said the Cow. "Not
I," said the Pig. "Equal rights,"
said the Goose. "Then 1 will,"
said the Little Red Hen and she
did.
The wheat grew tall and
ripened into golden grain. "Who
will help me reap the wheat?"
asked the Little Red Hen.
"Not 1," said the Cow. "Not
i," said the Duck, "Out of my
classification" said the Pig. "i'd.
lose niy welfare" said the Goose.
"Then 1 will," said the Little Red
Hen and she did...
When it came time to grind the
flour, "Not l," said the Cow. "I'd
lose my unemployment compen-
sation;" said the Duck.
Whemit came time to bake the
bread, "That's overtime for me,"
aaid the Cow. "i'm a dropout and
never learned how," said the
Duck. "id lose my welfare
benefits," said the Pig. "If I'm
the only one help, that's
discrimination," said the Goose.
"Then I will," said the Little
Red Hen and she did. She baked
five loaves of fine bread and held
them up for her neighbours to
see,
"I want some," said the Cow.
"I want sonic," said the Duck. "i
want some," said the Pig. "I
demand niy share," said the
Goose,
"No," said the Little Red Hen,
"1 can rest for a while and eat five
loaves myself."
"Excess profits," cried the
Cow, "Capitalist leech!" scream-
ed the Duck. "Company fink,"
grunted the Pig. "Equal rights,"
screamed the Goose. And they
hurriedly painted picket signs and
marched around the Little Red
Hen singing; "We shall over-
conie." And they did.
For when the Farmer came to
investigate the commotion, he
said, "You must not be greedy,
Little Red Hen. Look at the
oppressed Cow. Look at the
disadvantaged Duck. Look at the
underpriviledged Pig. Look at the
Tess fortunate Goose. • You are
guilty of making second-class
citizens of, them!" •
"But-but•but-I .earned the
bread," protested the Little Red
Hen.
"Exactly," the' wise Farmer
said. "'That is the wonderful free
enterprise system; anybody in the
barnyard can earn as much as he
wants. 'You should be happy to
have all this freedom. In other
barnyards, ',you would have to
give all five loaves to the Far►ner.
Here you give four loaves to your
suffering neighbour's."
And they lived 'happily ever
after. Including the Little Red
Hen, who smiled and clucked, "1
am grateful I ani grateful."
But her neighbours wondered
why she never baked any more
bread.
1974 Fabaean research
results good
Results of the 1974 fababean
trials at the Kemptville College of
Agricultural Technology and the
Elora Research Station near
Guelph were surprisingly good,
despite poor weather, according
to Dr. J.W, Tanner, Crop Science
professor at the Ontario Agricul-
tural College, Guelph.
"Because of the wet spring,
planting was late. Growth was
slow during the hot, dry summer
and the early frost finished off the
plants before the beans were
mature. In spite of this, our
research results were good," says
Dr. Tanner. "Conclusions drawn
a year earlier were confirmed and
Herz Freya, a new variety to be
registered in time for planting
this spring, did well in both
locations. Of the fababean varie-
ties available this year, it will
probably be the best."
The researchers confirmed that
fababeans should be planted as
early as possible - in the middle of
April if the weather is favorable.
They also found yields best from
closely -spaced rows. Of the rows
planted between seven and 35
inches apart in the research plots,
those planted seven inches apart
produced the most beans.
Herz Freya, the researchers
found, matures earlier than most
other fababean varieties, so its
moisture level at harvest is lower,
its plants are shorter, so lodging
is minimized. In addiiton, its
seeds are smaller, so that
planting with a conventional seed
drill is easier and few pounds of
seed per acre are needed.
However, until more informa-
tion is available from feeding,
production, and herbicide trials
now being conducted, the Ontario
Protein Oil Seed Crop Committee
continues to consider fababeans
an experimental crop and does
not recommend that farmers try
them as yet,
"Although fababeans niay be-
come an important cash crop in
Western Canada, and maybe fed
as beans or silage in Ontario,
there won't likely be any place for
them in areas wtih over 2,800
heat units," Dr, Tanner con-
cludes.

useless holy cows and of limiting
their large families. Before we
pass judgement we should first
take a look at OM' own holy cows.
We don't have any? 011 yes, we
have. How many of us wlio are
not from European extraction will
eat eels or how many of any
background will cat snakes? Not
many, but it is an excellent source
of protein and very tasty. How
many of us would eat dogmcat? It
is an excellent food, but we prefer
to keep them as pets and when we
are tired of them we send them to
the humane society for destruc-
tion.
Is there any difference with
India's holy cows?
After this we compare family
planning. In their eyes religious
objections to birth control may be
completely silly. Let's go back
somewhat less than a century iii
our country and we sec that the
earlier people were in the same
position that many of the, in our
eyes backward people, are now.
When there is no old age
security and no eventide home for
the elderly, 'lint must one do?
There must be enough children (0
take care of them, for they are in
fact the old age pension of the
parents. So in order not to starve
when one gets old, a large family
is a necessity. Most times it has to
be large because of the high
death rale among the very young.
Old age security is a must before
parents can begin limiting their
families, and this social security
can only be achieved when a
country is wealthy enough to pay
for it,
*****
At the Farmers Week in
Walkerton last week, Eric
Winkler, of the Ontario govern-
megt conceded that, in order to
help pay for the cost incurred by
the l3rucc Nuclear Development,
the county would have to attract
more secondary industry after the
peak employment period of the
('0(151 ('11 Ct 11)11 phase.
It appears that Bruce county is
now in a vicious circle of more
industry, more cost and yet more
industry. 13e1oi'e long they will be
paying taxes comparable with
Toronto, all in the name of what
some call "progress."
Control of subclinical
mastitis
At any one time, nearly 50
percent of Ontario's dairy cows
have mastitis, o1' inflammation of
the udder, in sonic form.
Although the clinical form of this
disease occasionally causes death
subclinical or hidden mastitis is
more of a threat to the dairyman,
drastically reducing his herd's
production and lowering his
income by thousands of dollars
each year.
"However, in the last few
years, we've found post•milking
teat dips and the establishment of
dry treament programs to be
instrumental in mastitis control,"
says Dr. F.C. Nelson of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food Guelph Veterinary
Services Branch.
A recent three-year study at
Cornell University in the U.S.
established that the regular use of
teat dip and dry treatment
programs can increase a farmer's
annual net income by about $80 a
cow.
To determine the level of
subclinical mastitis in your herd,
a California Mastitis Test (CMT)
should be made regularly by
yourself or your veterinarian on
each cow's milk to count the
number of white blood cells
(leukocytes)..The more leukocytes
there are, the greater the loss of
production.
if a test indicates subclinical
mastitis, dry cow treatment
should begin immediately follow-
ing milking, before the cow soils
her teats. Repeat if the adder till
and the cow requires stripping.
Follow package instructions or
the advice of a veterinarian
exactly when using the long-act-
ing antibiotics designed for dry
treatments.
Start a teat dip about two weeks
before calving and continue until
about a week after drying -off.
Teat dips from farm supply stores
and veterinarians include instruc-
tions which should be closely
followed.
"Most failures to control
mastitis occur when farmers do
not stay with treatment pro-
grams,' says Dr, Nelson. "Dry

The strength of ice covering
lakes, ponds and rivers depends
upon thickness, daily tempera-
ture, snow cover, depth of the
water under the ice, currents and
water level fluctuations, Red
Cross reminds you to check ice
conditions before venturing onto
the surface.
cow treatment and regular teat
dips can reduce a herd's hidden
mastitis by 50 percent a year.
However, it takes a while for the
positive results to become
obvious. With perscrverance, a
farmer can reduce the level of
mastitis in his herd to between
five and ten percent • an excellent
goal for any dairyman."

SOMETHING FISHY IN THE
FRENCH BREAD!?
It's so tough to come up with original party -food ideas that
hiring a gourmet chef seems to be the only alternative some -
limes. But picture a palate -pleasing plate of pleasantry at your
next party; luring guests to nibble, and then, after savouring, to
return for more.
• But, such taste -teasers are hard to prepare, you say? Not so.
all that's really needed is a little imagination to put some life
into any party dish, and of course, good food means much to
a good party.
By now you're probably thinking, "What more can be
invented in the way of simple -to -prepare party food?" To
answer the question, first take a look at the conditions limiting
your selection. There are three qualities guests will appreciate:
flavour. not too many calories, and some nutritional value. The
Earl of Sandwich, benefactor to whom we owe much respect
for his namesake, didn't let it stand in his way. Neither should
we! Bread, his ingredient for an original treat, is low in calories.
and high in flavour and nutritional value. One advantage we
have over the good Earl though is that our bread is enriched
with three essential B Vitamins as well as iron; and since
bread is one of Canada's most popular foods this enrichment
process ensures our good health.
Now for an imaginative idea using this most adaptable com-
modity. Try this one. It's called a Fish Boat!
Fish Boat
1 — 24 ounce French bread 1 teaspoon salt
20 frozen fish sticks 2 cups milk
1 tablespoon butter 4 hard -cooked eggs coarsely
2 tablespoons:all-purpose chopped
flour Ih cup celery, chopped
Hollow out bread to form a boat -shaped shell about 11/2 inches
thick. Quarter frozen fish sticks; heat following package
instructions. Melt butter, add flour and salt. Add milk and cook
until thick. Fold in eggs and celery. Pile fish in boats; spoon
sauce over top. Slice crosswise to serve; pass remaining sauce.
Apple -Raisin Pudding Serves 4
Trim crusts from 7 slices toasted raisin bread; cut 1 of the
slices into thirds, Line 8" x 4" x 2" pan with 2 slices and one
t/a strip. Top with 2/3 cup canned apple-pie filling. Repeat layers
twice. Bake al 375"TF, for 40 minutes, Turn out and serve with
cream.

Playhouse names
architect
Mr, Bill Cochrane, Chairman of
the Board, Huron Country Play-
house, has announced that Mr.
Peter Smith of Lett/Smith,
Toronto, has been named as
architect for the new parliament
playhouse building.
Formerly associated with the
Ron 'Thom Architectural Firm,
Toronto, Mr. Smith was involved
in the design of the Fire Hall
Theatre, in Toronto and the new
Shaw Festival Theatre at Niagara -
on -the -lake. The new playhouse
building will contain seating for
500 people with well sloped
floors, well planned acoustics and
sight lines; will have an orchestra
pit and stage space large enough
to accommodate full scale
musicals. While the new building
will be highly efficient and
up•to•datc, its appearance will be
farm -like and will tic in with and
connect to the present playhouse
barn, making up what might be
one of the most attractive summer
theatre in Canada.
The Playhouse Board has
studied the results of a feasibility
study carried out by Lett/Smith,
made possible through a grant
from the Ministry of Colleges and
Universities. The study, which
dealth with playhouse immediate
and long range needs, explored
the continued use of the tent, the
conversion of the present barn
loft, and a variety of pre-
engineered buildings that could
be adapted for use as a summer
playhouse. An original design,
however, was ultimately decided
upon as the type of building that

would be the most serviceable,
the most desirable and the most
economical.
Although the building's basic
structure, Phase 1, is expected to
be ready for the '75 season, the
construction will be in phases
over 3 years. Phase 1 of the
building will cost approximately
$50,000. Construction will begin
as quickly as possible,
Mr. Benson Tuckey, heading
the drive to finance the new
building, announced a goal of
$125,000 to be raised over a 3
year period. He also. acknowledg-
ed grants of $25,000 from the
Federal and Provincial Govern-
ments. The playhouse hopes to
raise roughly half of the remaind-
er from businesses, corporations,
foundations and other granting
agencies, but it is hoped a
substantial amount might be
raised throughout the various •
local communities,
Mr. Tuckey, who served for two
years as Chairman of the Board,
said the playhouse has proven
itself a viable operation and an
asset to the community. Its
attendance has grown steadily
each year and to date has
attracted over 25,000 visitors,
During the recent highly success-
ful '74 season, the company
played 93 percent capacity and
had four sell-outs. The Company
seems to have outgrown its
present arrangement of playing in
the rented tent. Heading up the
Playhouse Financial Drive, Mr.
Tuckey said an organized canvas
for funds will begin soon,

If you can't sec properly
through your windshield and back
windows you may be heading for
an accident, says the Industrial
Accident Prevention Association.
Make sure your windshield wiper
is clearing your windshield
properly • if not, replace it! Rear
car windows, in the winter, are
inclined to frost over, thus cutting
down your view of traffic behind
you. A good idea is to install a
rear window defroster. They do a
good job, will eliminate that blind
spot and reduce the potential for
personal injuries and property

The old brown cow, she ain't what she used to be
BY KEITH ROULSTON
Pitty poor I3essy the cow,
As I remember things growing
up on the farm, the cow was Pio
king of the animals. The horse
had had its day, kicked aside by
both the car and the tractor. But
the cow, she was queen. Every
farm had at least one and most
still had a small milking herd.
During her good days, the cow
provided milk, creast, butter and
cheese. When she grew too old
she provided meat for the table.
She was wanted, dead or alive,
Today, however, the cow is a
demeaned animal. On many
farms, indeed probably on most,
there just isn't such a thing as a
cow these days. Farmers have
been taught to specialize so 'hey
raise chickens or pigs or grow
cash crops, and use the money to
buy their milk in toren just like the
Snowshoes have been
since 4000 B.C.
This week Rocky Raccoon has
some information on snowshoes
which might help you to get more
enjoyment from the winter
weather.
Did you know that snowshoes
were used since about 4000 B.C.?
Did you know that they assisted
many of the ancient peoples
during migrations from one part
of the earth to another? Did you
know that snowshoes have
contributed greatly to the history
of Canada,
The Algonquin, Huron and
Ojibway Indians were just some
of the tribes that used wood and
animal skins to make snowshoes.
These shoes which allowed man
to walk over the snow without
sinking through it, aided the
Indians in their winter hunting
and trapping of food and fur
animals.
Horticultural
Society meets
The Blyth Horticultural Society
met at the home of their president
Mrs. Wm. Carter. She opened
the meeting with a poem
"Canada," The roll call was
answered by the pi;,ment of fees
for 1975.
Mrs. M. Richmond gave her
reports for 1974 which showed a •
very good year although the
memberhip was slightly less than
in 1973.
Mrs. Keith Webster provided
for the election of officers and
directors which is as follows:
President, Mrs. Wm. Carter; Vice
president, Mrs. Chas Shobbrook
and Mrs. I. Bowes; Secretary -
Treasurer, Mrs. M. Richmond;

Mrs. Chas. Johnston.
Mrs. C. Falconer gave
"thoughts for the New Year"
from the news letter and
announced that the Annual
District meeting would be held in
Teeswater; April 19. Plans were
made for a flower show again this
year. A social half hour was
enjoyed.

artistic heritage.

The military used snowshoes as
necessary pieces of equipment in
the Canadian winters, and soon
after the country became more
civilized, snowshoe clubs were
formed. Men would seek out
trails for recreation and a chance
for social interaction during the
reinter months.
'today, a straight -grained white
ash frame bound with steer hide
webbing forms the snorvshocs

If you want to snowshoe for
fun, it's good to obtain snowshoes
that won't stretch too much when
wet. Snowshoes break easily, so
Sunshine Unit
holds meeting
The regular meeting of the
Sunshine Unit of the U.C.W. was
held on Tuesday afternoon,
January 7.
Mrs. Howard Campbell was in
charge of devotions. "God of All
Seasons", was •,wig and Psalm 37
was read. Mrs. Louise Buttcll led
in prayer. The offering was
received and dedicated.
Mrs. Grant read the scripture,
from Phillipians 4, verses one to
nine. A new years meditation,
"Time To Spend", was given.
Prayer was led by Mrs. Campbell.
Mr. Wittich introduced the
study book, Mission Begins With
You At Home, in your Community
and in the World.
Mrs. Smith took the chair for
the business portion of the
meeting_ A reading, "Strength
for the Task," was given. The
minutes of the last meeting were
read and adopted. Mrs. Harvey
McDowell gave the treasurer's
report.
The meeting closed with prayer
by Mrs. Smith. Lunch was served
by Mrs. Easom and Mrs. Millar
Richmond.
guy who works in a store or
factory or office, Old Bessy just
must feel a little unwanted.
Even on those farms that have
cows Bessy must feel a little
uncomfortable these days. Bessy
probably gets her ears burned on
a beef farm these days as the
farmer laments the fact old Bessy
isn't rvorth her weight in moth

expensive grain and protein

A warm parka coat, 2 pair oI'

and a tongue are suggested for
maintaining body heat. If you
plan on a long hike, take extra
binding material, goggles,

with you.
Snowshocing can be a great

and chance to get out into, and
enjoy, some of the natural
environment around us during
our Canadian winter months.
into them. Old Ressy might feel a
little edgy about her own neck if it
wasn't for the fact that the farmer
would get so little for her on the
market that it isn't worth the cost
of trucking her to the stock -yard.
Even as pct food, heaven forbid,
she's in a depressed market.
Across the concession road at
the dairy farm, Bessy's cousin
probably isn't feeling much more
wanted. She just may know that
farmers have been deserting the
dairy business in record numbers
in the past few years and
probably feels just a little nervous
every time she hears the farmer
mumbling to himself about the
foolishness of being a dairy
farmer as he does the chores 011

She just may have overheard
hint longing to have that pasture
field plowed up and put into a
cash crop like corn or beans
where the returns were higher,
the hours shorter, and the whole
winter was free time.
Even if her owner wasn't
grumbling, she probably felt a
little depressed. In the old days,
after all,- her grandmother likely
had a name of her own. 'Today's
cow is more likely to be just a
number hung around her neck
among a herd of many other
cores, all looking alike, all valued
for their milk production only, not
for things like personality which
used to be important in a small
herd.
And grandmother even had
dates with a real live bull!
Ah yes, like the rest of us,
today's cow must often wish she
could turn back the clock.
