WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1975, Inside Editorials Farm Page Classified Coming Events Page 4 Page 13 Page 14 Page 15 Study on Huron's policing completed A study on policing in Huron County was expected to be in the hand of county and municipal officials sonic time this week, according to Elmer Bell, Chairman of the Ontario Police Commission. The study was conducted over four months and is now under consideration by Ontario Solicitor General George Kerr, Mr, Bell, a former Exeter Lawyer, said he "anticipates" the report will be distributed to local municipalities this week. The study of alternative methods of policing the county was requested last May be police chiefs of Huron's five towns. The request was prompted by recommendations in the Ontario task force on policing which recommended Ontario Provincial Police in towns with less than 15,000 population. Each: of the county's five towns has municipal forces and populations of 3,000 - exccpt for Godcrich which has a population of about 7,000. The remainder of the county is policed by the OPP, The chiefs were concerned that OPP policing would be more costly and impersonal than the existing system. Several chiefs - led by Ted Day of Exeter • suggested a county -wide force would improve the present setup and still retain local autonomy. ' The chiefs convinced county council to ask the solicitor -general for the study. Mr. Bell said the study began in September and was conducted entirely by OPC staff. He refused to release any conclusions but said four alternatives have been proposed for policing: •Retention of the existing system with no changes; •Retention of the existing system with a major upgrading of communications between forces, featuring a centralized dispatch system; •Establishment of the proposed county- wide force. *Takeover of all policing by the' OPP.

Telephone 523-9646. Time to make ammunition Nov is the time for those concerned about policing in villages like Blyth or rural areas to start pre, •ing their ammunition for the fight ahead. Elmer 13e11, chairman of the Ontario Police Commission last week announced that the report on policing in Huron county is soon to he sent to the municipalities listing several alternatives in policing, ranging from retention of the present system to policing totally by the Ontario Provincial Police to establishment of a county. wide force. Discussion oI' all these possibilities in the past have shown little promise for the smaller centres in the county. The idea seems to be that we in I3lvth and other villages aren't going to get any better protection than we're now getting but ►we're going 10 be expected to pick up part of the cost of supporting the expensive new system. Obviously, to get a better deal we're going to have to fight for it. The residents of I31yth should be expected to chip in on the cost of policing. but only if they're getting proper policing. Three or four short patrols through tow n in a day is not proper policing and it would be absurd to expect the Blyth taxpayer to have to pay for such taken efforts. We need to make a loud enough noise now, when things are under review. to get some proper action. Perhaps it would be wise to work with the other villages in the county to stake sure we get a fair deal. The sublime and the ridiculous Secretary of State Hugh Faulkner's announcement of changes in the magazine, television and book publishing fields could be called the good, the bad and the indifferent. The decision to withdraw the special exemption of taxation privileged to Time and Reader's Digest are the good parts of the new policies. The arrangement that treated Time and Digest as if they were truely Canadian magazines has been a bad joke. it allowed the magazines to siphon off the biggest share of the Canadian magazine advertising dollar while contributing little to the country. Time was able to make use of material from the U.S. additions which was already paid for over there by U.S. advertisers, add six thin pages of Canadian content and 20.30 pages of Canadian advertising and make a bundle while other magazines trying to concentrate totally on the Canadian content went bankrupt trying to pay their higher bills. And other U.S. magazines such as Newsweek which were as valuable as time, got none of the breaks. So, for the health of the Canadian magazine industry. the changes were needed. Now. perhaps Canadian companies producing national magazines will get an even break. The stoves by the government to block the advertising of Canadian companies on U.S. border television stations which can be seen in Canada, however, will not likely have the desired effect of improving Canadian television. The move is supposed to repatriate some of the S2U million that has been spent in U.S. stations. The past performance of Canadian television stations has shown, however. that if the 520 million is returned to Canada it will likely only fatten the profits of the _station owners in large Canadian centres along the border and not result in better programming. Canadian television stations have shown themselves either incapable or unwilling. to give their viewers a fair deal. Another area of television has shown Canada acting in a downright scandalous way. A recent court decision agreed that Canadian cable television, companies can delete commercials from U.S. programming shown on cable and replace them with locally sold Canadian commercials. It's a case of air piracy that can only be expected to bring hard feelings from Americans, especially on top of the other government moves. The government's policy in the book industry can only be dealth with indifferently. The continuous bleat of the book publishing industry has to be a little suspect much of the time. At a time when Canadian books are dominating the best seller lists across the country, the publishers are sounding the funeral dirge. increased government grants can only help companies become more fat and lazy in their work rather than trimming the fat they now have and increasing their efficiency. 'there are two areas however where government aid can benefit the book industry. One is in distribution. At present. each book publisher has his own distributing system. This is a costly part of the'publisher's operation and in many cases is the (east efficient part of the system. Government aid and encouragement could help mold a central ,:ist'ibution house for all publishers, big and small, cutting costs and increasing efficiency. The second area and the one most ovcrlooke dis the need for more outlets for books in small towns. Few towns of under 20,000 populatio have a real book store today. Only by making books more available to these smaller centres can we make Canadian books more available to everyone. The government should be looking at ways to help gat more small town books stores started and keep them going. 'rhe proposed to sell books -in small-town post offices seems only a token gesture. Irresponsible reporters It takes nerve and brains to be a gond reporter. Unfortunately, when a reporter Inas more nerve than brains the press becomes a pain. Such was the case in case of the kidnapping last week which saw police struggle for 24 hours near London to have four children released by their frightened captor. The attempts of the police wear hampered at every turn by reporters from e\ cry daily I1ews•- ler, television station and radio station within driving distance. They cants 1i'otn Toronto. London, Stratford and the U.S. and as dozens of reporters tied to get the jump on their opposition the police were under constant pressure both from the kidnapper and from the press. Some radio reporldrs stayed at hone but were even more a bother because they insisted on telephoning the kidnappers and lying up the only line oI' communications the police had with the man and running the risk of disturbing the man even more so that he took desperate action. At tines like these. a fellow doesn't like to admit he has anything to do with the press. A child, a tree, the sun. Letter to the editor DEAR MR.

BY BILL SMILEY CAME across a new party game recently, and thought ydu might like to try it on your guets, it all began with some friends of ours who like to play with words and create wild puns. They had a bit of a problem and one said to the other: "We seem to be in dire straits." The other replied solemnly: "Yes, Dire Straits separate Tierra Del Freakout from the Cape of Good Dope, I believe." Or something like that. And they were off. They tried it on some of their friends, and the result was a collection of puns that even Shakespeare would have blushed at. All you -need is a knowledge of geographical terms and a total inability to blush at the atrocious puns you produce. Some of your friends will undoubtedly try, if I know people, to turn it into a pornographic Now I'll point straight, geographic game. This is almost unavoidable, because there are a lot of people with dirty minds, unlike you and ale, These excrescences on the face of our pure and bland society will come up with tilthies like Sunapha Beach; the State of Nymphomania in which we rind a mountain called Mons Publis and a wood labelled Shewor Forest. Pay not attention to them. They'll suffer enough in the next word for contriving such monstrosities as Taka Peak, ltsa Butte, Para Buttes and Maka Pass, Oh, they'll suffer, But not as much as you'll suffer when your guests get into the swing of things, and start producing such items as Melon Coulee and Sherbet Shore. Perhaps you should do is partition your guests into groups, give each group a geographical terns, and see what happens. Thus, you might say to one group: "O.K., your topic is bays. Let's hear some bays." So you get such items as Hound -dog Bay, and Stagat Bay and Brought To Bay. To another group, you submit streams, and they supply such doozers as Uptha Creek, Niktha Boy, did we goof! Like any business, there are good days and bad days in the newspaper business and the report of the East Wawanosh council meeting was written on a really bad day it seems. It was reported that the charge to Auburn for the use of the township dump was increased from $150 to $400. In actuality, it was an increase OF $150 TO $400. We gave Clerk Winona Thompson a nice raise of $35 per hour when it should have been $35 per month. The annual levy to the Blyth District Fire area was reported, through a slip of a typing finger, as $50 rather than $950. In addition to the two fenceviewers named, George McGee and John Jamieson there were four others: Phil Dawson, John Lockhart, John Arnistrong and John Hallahan. In all, it was not one of the articles we would like to be remembered by. All we can do is apologize both to the readers and those involved and hope we've•got all the goofs out of our system at once. 11.

All we need is a Bullfighter's Cape, Someone drew cities, so that on the neap we have Greater Kappa City and, in small print Lesser Kappa City. in these cities may be found such things as the Pubic Library, Brut Al Copse (a small wooded arca,) and a narrow street labelled Gunman's Mall. On the map is a kingdom called Kingdom of Kum (ruled by King Klinlact Eric) and above that is a smaller adjunct called Higher In Kum, and below it another called Lower In Kum, Just of'f' the State of Nymphomania lies Kumin Sea, in which are found a Fast Eddy and a Current of Ents.

If you had a savings plan that gave you high interest and let you save tax dollars, you'd call it mart. That's what we call it, IiithtIueing We figure with inflation and taxes taking more and more of your earnings, it's become harder just.to get by now, let alone save. That's where the Commerce SMART registered savings plan comes in. 'I'he SMART plan is really a double-barrelled savings plan, It not only gives you good compound interest rates on the money you save, but it also saves you some of the money you'd normally pay on income tax. • For example, if your taxable income is 810,000. and you put $1,000..into SMART you'd only pay taxes on $9,000. You see, since the SMART plan is registered with the Government, the Income 'I'ax Act lets you deduct a certain amount from your income and lets you accumulate this money tax-free until you really need it. Your accumulated savings will be treated as taxable income in the year they arc paid out to you. At the Commerce we think a plan that allows you to SAVE MONEY AND REDUCE TAXES is smart. Which is why we named our_. plan the way we did. 11 SMA saMe m ey Chid Reduce How much money does it require to start? '1'hc minimum contribution has been set at $50. And you can contribute as Often as you like. The amount you wish to save (within allowable limits) is entirely up to you. You may, if you choose, make a single lump sum deposit. Alternatively, the Commerce can make it easy for you to save systematically — regular transfers from your chequing or savings accounts can easily be arranged. What's the best age to start contributing? You can begin at any age so long as it's before your 71st birthday. In fact, the sooner you start the better. Because, how much you.end up with in your Registered Savings Plan depends on how long your money has been accumulating as well as the amount you've contributed and the interest rate you earn. For instance, if you started saving 81,000. a year at age 25 and assumed an average cotnpound interest rate of 7",,, your retircm',' savings would amount to $220,723. at age 65. On the other hand, if you waited until age 45 and contrihuted $2,000. a year at the same 7"„ compound rate, your savings would only total $89,014. even though you had contributed exactly the same amount ($10,000.). So you see, the whole idea is to let your money keep working for you as long as possible. 1i1/• • Can you make withdrawals from your SMART plan? While withdrawals are not permitted you may de -register your Plan. At that time, your accumulated savings will he treated as taxable in- comeinthcyear received. i-Iowever, you may use your savings to purchase an 'annuity thereby spreading your taxes over a number of years. Is SMART the plan for you? The Commerce SMART registered savings plan makes a lot of sense for just about everyone. It doesn't matter whether you're a successful businessman, a busy working wife, a young family man, an active,carcer girl, or ,.someone who's just interested in a good savings plan. How can you start SMART? ; / Come to the SMART Information Centre located at � 4! the Commerce branch nearest you. We'll be glad to help you set up your SMART plan or give you any further information you may need. ` Commerce registered savings plan PG. 10. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 29, 1975.

Skin and clean the camel, the lamb and the chickens. Stuff the chickens with the eggs and some of the cooked rice. Stuff the Iamb with five of the stuffed chickens. Stuff the camel with the lamb and some rice. Bake until brown. Serve the camel on a bed of rice and surround it with the remaining chickens and the nuts. Serves from 20 to a hundred pcoplc. One could substitute a pig for the lamb. ***** Some interesting figures gleaned from an American magazine debunk some of the recent appeals from some do- gooders to eat less meat in order to preserve protein for needing peoples. Two/thirds of our protein comes from beef and dairy products. We can utilize for livestock many vegetable proteins that are unfit for human consumption, as well as many waste products and other sources of nutrition that could never be processed into food, Using haylage and 45, bushels of corn we can produce an 1,100 lbs. choice steer. This means that a pound of carcass beef can be produced from three pounds of grain dry matter. This is very efficient when you consider that the protein content of the grain is less that 10 percent, and the protein content of the beef is more than 20 percent: Not to mention the difference in taste between a pancake and a steak. (The protein Icvcl of pork is 25 percent). Also we can produce 100 lbs. of milk from 35 lbs. of corn, and the "perfect food" yields 33 lbs, protein for 2.5 lbs. of low quality plant protein. Think of all the fields that arc too hilly for field crops, but are used for extensive grazing. It's too bad that so many well-meaning people expend their energy without fully knowing and investigating. That they could do a lot of harm to our industry at home without benefitting the peoples they arc concerned about in the least is, to say the least regrettable. Recalls experiences in exchange program Last summer, Greg Cook of Bclgrave took part in the 4H exchange program sponsored by the Huron Pork Producers Association. The following is his account of his experiences. BY GREG COOK The 4-11 exchange week started with Moni calling nie at a quarter to five in the morning. After washing the sleep from my eyes and eating some breakfast, we left home and picked up Margaret Franken, then on to Clinton, There are not many farmers up at a quarter to six on the road to Clinton. At Clinton we met some 4-I-Ier's and Len MacGregor who kindly took us to Stratford, where we met with the rest of the group and caught the train which took us to Toronto. It was my first train ride and only saw the rear end of farms as we sped along. Caught a glimpse of the C.N. tower. Sure is a big building. We changed trains at Union Station and rolled on through Ontario arriving in Cornwall at three in the after- noon. We were met by the Ag. Rep. for Glengarry County, who delivered us to our respective farms. Miiie was Mr. and Mrs, VanLoon. John, the oldest boy, was my exchange. They have a dairy farm of 250 acres with another 750 acres rented, Thcy were milking 72 cows in a stall barn with a pipeline system. The only un- usual feature was that the milkhousc was built right into a corner of the barn. I wasn't impressed with the land, feeling that it was not as fertile as here in Huron. 'i'he fields were small and surrounded with fence bottoms and clotted with large stones, The only places we visited were Upper Canada Village and the St. Lawrence Power Dam. Every day we were up at 5:30 to do the chores and then out picking up hay. Thcy did that somewhat differently then we do. The father drove along with the baler and dropped the bales on the group and we were required to come along after hint, pick them up, and build a load five high, race to bar, unload, mow, race back to the field and start over again, Some days the hay wasn't really ready and those bales were extremely heavy. We did go swimming, twice. 'fhe day we left we were up at THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 29, 1975. PG. 13.

Chairman, Mrs. Pat Osborn welcomed the members. Minutes of the last meeting and treasurer's report were approved as read. Mrs. Mary O'Keefe and Mrs. Teresa Courtney were appointed to audit the books. Correspondence received from Alliance for Life, Toronto, advised that the Canadian Medical Association are pressur- ing the Government to have the therapeutic Abortion Committee eliminated so that abortions "May be a private matter between a women and her doctor". The CMA docs not want to have any control over its abortion practices. The leader- ship, especially Bette Stephen- son, President fo the CMA rather than the medical profession itself is pushing for a policy of abortion on demand. Members are advised to write to The Canadian Medical Association, The Provincial Minister Of Health, Honorables Pierre Trudeau, Otto Lang, Marc Lalonde, The Local Newspapers, and Bob McKinley, M.P. con• deming the CMA and especially Bette Stephenson. There is growing descention among Pro Life doctors against this CMA stand. Four delegates from the Huron Riding will go to Ottawa for the presentation of the One Million Name Petition to Government. Some 2,115 signatures were received from the Goderich area. A bus will leave from Stratford and anyone wishing to go to Ottawa for' the presentation or wishing to sign the petition telephone 524-7184.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 29, 1975. Signs of progress Little by tittle the face of Blyth's main street keeps changing. Last week workmen were busy in front of Sparling's Hardware installing a new sign, one more small step in brightening main street. Atoms on rampage, beat Brussels The Blyth Atoms have started putting it together again; after a few tough games. They have won their last three starts; playing extremely exciting hockey. Last Monday they defeated Mildmay by a lopsided 6-0 score. Blyth controlled the play for the entire game. Goal scorers were Rick Scrimgeour and Jerry Hoggarth with two each, while singles went to Brent Andrews and Kevin Coultes. Assists were picked up by Bruce Hunking, two, Jerry Hoggarth, _Keith Hallam, Kevin Coultes, Brent Andrews, Darryl Chalmers and Mark Crawford. On Saturday the boys came up with a fine effort and defeated Lucknow 5-3. Goal scorers were Bruce Hunking with two, Kevin Coultes, Kurt Whitfield and Mark Crawford with one each. Assists went to Bruce Hunking, Kevin Coupes and Rick Scrimgeour. Monday the boys played the strong Brussels club and by determination defeated them 5-4. The lead switched back and forth until the last 40 seconds of the game; when Jerry Hoggarth connected to break the tie and win the game. Kevin Coultcs was playing an outstanding game scored three big goals; while Jerry connected twice. Bruce Hunking and Rick Scrimgeour each had a pair of assists. The Atoms are having a very successful season in every aspect, except fan support. Every game we have the same loyal fans who never miss a game. If the others call watching the Leafs on television hockey; then they should travel down to the arena and see a real hockey game. BY KEITH ROULSTON 1 demand equal rights, I'm going to dig out my old press card (if I can find it since its about five years since I used it) and next Bill .lean King or Chris Everett or the ladies' roller derby team shows up in some city within driving distance, 1'nl going to rush down and demand admitt- ance to the locker room for an interview. If the ladies arc in a state of unpreparedness, well that's the breaks...for them and nee. If they don't let Plc in, well there'll be a terrible fuss about equal rights for men. Being somewhat gutless, not to mention bashful', I'll probably never get up the courage to undertake my plan of action outlined above, Still, I think it's time some mand did, The news that women reporters have more and more been demanding, and getting access to dressing rooms of men's teams immediately after games when the players are still undressing is both hununu•- ous and maddening. Bobby Orr for instance was a little disturbed following the recent All-star game when he was caught with his pants down by a female reporter. Now male reporters, including myself, have covered female sports for years without having to get into the dressing room while the girls were changing. Why then, should women have to invade the men's dressing rooms? In a world where people arc starving, unemployment is rising and inflation is out of control, it may scene a little thing to worry over women being in men's dressing rooms. I mean better for people in Africa to have a crust of bread than worry about reporters feasting their eyes 00 the undressed forms of athletes of the opposite sex. Indeed, it would probably be better for society as a whole if we could get over our hangups about sex so that seeing a member of the opposite gender undressed didn't cause a minor scandal. But we're dealing with equality here and as a man I find it dust a little infuriating. Men, in the past decade, have been made out to be horrid monsters who are holding down the female section of the population from attaining its just place on even terms. Some of this outcry has been justified. But while claims like "equal pay for equal work" find little concrete action from Womens Lib groups, symbolic gestures like invading locker rooms or destroying Nommi2E2Einnommi ®ez®a® iEnn ®mannoiminnonneemminnionizinoinamo®m% STORE WIDE REDUCTION SALE E 9 // LI 0 0.

The controversial mayor of Winnipeg some time back caused a minor stir when he questioned whether, under current equal rights legislation, it was legal for the city hall to have separate washrooms for men and women. Wasn't it discrimination, he wondered? People had a good laugh at the mayor, but 1 think he was being serious. And I think he raised a good point. How far does this equality bit go? If women have the right to invade men's locker rooms, don't men have the right to enter into women's locker rooms? If it's illegal for men to have clubs that exclude women, isn't it illegal for the Women's Institute to offer its services only, to women? And how about those 'exclusive residential hotels for women in sonic cities or those women's clubs where WOMB Dan have their own private world? And indeed, what about separate washrooms? And where docs the right to privacy leave off and the equal rights oI• the sexes begin? don't really think the world will be a better place by forcing men and women to share the sank washrooms, the sante locker rooms and the stone clubs. Somewhere between discrimina- tion and ridiculousness is the sane solution. It'd ridiculous to 1110, for instance, to have as some cities do a men's press club and a women's press club, Since it's a professional organization, why not :just one; press club with -perhaps a separate lounge for 111011 and wo11IC11 so that they Can be in privacy at times if they wish? Let's forget this nonsense and get down to the real problems of ec)ual rights for women.
