The Blyth Standard, 1975-02-12, Page 1tie S 111,Y'I'11, ONTARIO anda PRICE: 20 CENTS VOLUME 85 - NO. 07 Miller promises hospitals won't close JIM FITZGERA1.D Ontario Health Minister Drank Miller said in Clinton last Friday night that no hospitals in Huron County. including Clinton's. would he closed as a result of the controversial Mustard report on health, Mr. Miller spoke to about 50 persons at Clinton Public school as part of an all day tour of the County, tvilh stops at Exeter, Winghatu, Goderich and Clinton. Ile said that the Mustard report was prepared 10 stimulate discussion and i1 ryas Heyer the government's intention to implement it. Ile said that Ihcre had to be some changes in health rare because of soaring costs. Novt• health care costs about $3 billion a year in Ontario, and Mr. Miller said if the rusts weren't checked, they could escalate to near SI 1 billion by 1984. The government presently recovers about $560 million, yearly or about 23 per cent through 011IP payments. Mr. Miller said that hospitals tvouldn't he closed, but we \you'd be "changing what you do in the hospitals.'' He said that any changes would be very slots, "WC have no special reason for the visit," Mr. Miller told the audience, "its a weekly kind of exercise to see and sense the problems in various parts of the province." During his one day trip to Huron, Mr. Miller said he had discussed all kinds of topics, ranging from the Mustard report, through abortion and health plans. "There is 00 common thread to the questions during the Huron tour," Mr. Miller said. Mr. Miller said he wasn't afraid to discuss the Mustard Report, that among other things, recommended that there be only one hospital to every 15,000 persons, (since Huron has only a population of 52,000, it would stand to lose Iwo of the five hospitals). But Mr. Miller said the Mustard report was a long way 110111 becoming government policy. "There is no good political reasons tar adopting the report, it is 11o1 our Thinking." Mr. Miller. The affair \vas billed as an informal affair, with the minister spending about an hour in Clinton answering questions from the floor. He admitted time' the amount spent on preventative medicine was "pitifully small. but with limited funds, you do the things you have 10, not the things you want to do." Mr. Miller said. "The only solution is 10 slake people healthier or make then' feel healthier," Ile said, "There seems to he an unlimited demand for health services." Mr. Mitten would like to increase the OH IP premiums between 10 and 20 percent "to show people that health costs are rising." but he can't get agreement from cabinet. He said that Ontario's ratio of one doctor 10 every 586 people is a good ration, but there are too many doctors in some areas of the province, and not enough in other areas, causing some to go without proper medical care. He *ctid too, that there were: too many doctors in some medical fields, and not enough in others. The doctors and hospitals can't be blamed for the increasing health costs, they are just trying to fulfill the demands of their patients. "In the past we were underservired, and now we're overserviced," he said. d WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1975. Inside Editorials Church Classified Coming Events Page 4 Page 7 Page 14 Page 15 Federation studies income protection The Ontario Federation of Agriculture is studying a plan to protect the income of Ontario farmers in times of poor prices, but from the reception of the idea given by Agricultural Society's future in doubt It appears the Blyth Agricultural Society will soon pass officially- out of existence. The Agricultural Society, which for a century operated the Blyth Fall Fair, voted two years ago to drop the annual fair which had been faced with declining attendance. The group was, however, to stay in. existence and since then has operated its booth at the fair grounds on pony racing meets and at the Thresher Reunion and had held a pork barbecue and fund day each fall as a commencement day for Blyth 411 clubs. But at the annual meeting of the Society held last week in Memorial Hall it was decided the society will not carry on in the manner it has been. Either the Society has to re-establish the fair, or it is to be disbanded. The feeling seems to be toward the latter. It has been suggested that the Society's mulled would be passed on to the Pony Club and that funds from the Society. (The meeting learned that despite the relative inactivity in 1974, it was a good year financially), Society Secretary Treasurer Mildred Ament stressed on Tuesday that no decision has yet been made and suggestions from area residents are welcomed. Huron county farmers it seems it will be a long time before such a plan might see the light of day. The plan was explained Thursday night at the monthly meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in Exeter by Maurice Bean of RR 1, Auburn, O.F.A. director for central Huron. Mr. Bean told farmers at the sleeting that the plan has just conte up for discussion by the O.F.A. and so far only a few rough guidelines have been worked out. He said he understood the plan would work similarly to crop insurance with farmers paying into an insurance fund during good years and drawing from the fund in lean years when prices were bad and income fell. The plan would be voluntary with premiums shared by the farmers and the government. The guidelines, Mr. Bean stated, would be that payments be based on a reasonable cost of production for each commodity; that there be protection against increased input costs; that there still be an incentive for production of both quality and quanitity and that the plan not interfere with the normal marketplace. A good deal of sceptism about the plan was expressed by the farmers present. It was pointed out that a similar plan is in effect now in British Columbia where the New Democratic Party government brought the plan into effect( to compensate farmers after a land freeze was improsed. There was concern on the part of the farmers present about the potential cost of the plan and whether it could be made to work. Mr. Bean said present O.F.A. discus- sions are very much in the preliminary stages. More discussion will be held at the Huron county meetings in the coming CONTINUED ON PAGE 5.

Morris to host International The farm of James Armstrong of Winghanl has been selected by the Ontario Plowmen's Association for the site of the 1978 international Plowing Match and Farts Machinery Demonstration to be held in Huron County. This was announced Wednesday morning by Howard Datars, Dashwood, Chairman of the Huron County Local Committee, 1.P.M. The Executive of the Ontario Plowmen's Association made the selection of the Winghanl site after touring the four sites suggested by the local Huron Community site committee. Other sites visited by the group were in Usbornc, Stephen and McKillop town- ships. The O.P.A. Executive indicated that the Armstrong farm in Morris Township, immediately east of the town of Winghatu on Highway 1186 was most adaptable to the requirements for staging the large international Plowing Match. Plans are for the Tented City on the Armstrong farm with plwoing and demonstrations on the Armstrong and adjacent neighbouring farms. The Ontario Plowmen's Association Convention will be held at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto on February 17th and 18th, We would welcome anyone interested to join the Huron delegation during the Host County Presentations on Tuesday morning,. February 18th. Little Theatre performs Sunday Blyth Little Theatre will present its first production of the season and the first event the newly re -opened Blyth Memorial Hall Theatre on Sunday evening. The show, entitled Laughs Aplently wil contain two segments. The first part is a one act comedy called The Wedding starring Debbie Hicks and Rick Snell. The cast features many of the younger members of the theatre group. The second part of the show is called Blyth Spirits '75 and is a locally written comedy and music revue based on items of local interest. Also performing will be singer Jim Medd, The show takes place in Memorial Hall at 8 p.m. It's the kind of show the whole family can enjoy. PG. 1 THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 12, 1975. This 'n' That Parking lot improved Have you been cursing because you couldn't find a parking space on Blyth's crowded main street? Well, help niay be on the way. At last week's meeting of Village Council it was decided to pursue a suggestion from the Blyth Board of Trade that the parking lot at the corner of Queen and Drummond be put into proper order. The lot is now something of an eye -sore and because it isn't properly organized isn't very efficient. Plans are to level the lot, mark it off with curb stones and prevent hot-rodders from making it a merry go round, It could do a lot for the main drag both from the standpoint of appearance and parking facilities. Might we also suggest a few trees somewhere on the lot, perhaps between rows of cars? *** We understand at (east one merchant is also taking steps to provide better parking by build- ing an off-street parking lot at the rear of his store, To the harried shopper it must seem a little like heaven to hear of not one, but two parking areas. *** The events are really lining up at Memorial Hall Theatre. Sun- day night of course is the local Little Theatre production. Then on the 27th is the big Dave Broadfoot Revue Take a Beaver To Lunch performance (you're urged to buy your tickets early by the -way to get a seat since out of town orders have been numer- ous.) Then on Sunday, March 9, Ted Johns, who was one of the members of the Farm Show cast w hen it played in Blyth will bring in his one -pian show on life in 0 small Labrador town, Like the Farm Show, it is based on his interviews with real people living in the area. *** The deadline for getting your new licence sticker is fast approaching (March I) and there seems to be a lot of people in Blyth who don't have theirs. Lorna Whitmore at the Blyth licencing office reports that the demand for the stickers so far has not been heavy. Looks like there'll be a lot of people in long line-ups come the cncf of the month. Onc thing this year, though, with an office here in town at least you won't have 12 mites to walk if you don't get your licence renewed in time. Snowy owl spotted Onc of the most impressive sights of a Canadian winter was reported by Bill Bakker of Londesboro on Tuesday. A giant snowy owl, south for the winter from its Arctic homeland, was seen perching on the Bakker's television aerial. It seemed quite at home on its perch and didn't appear to want to leave, Mr. Bakker said. Legion contest winners The Blyth Legion Branch held its public speaking contest at Blyth Public School on Tuesday with students of Blyth and Hallett Central schools taking part. Keith Arthur of the Legion presented prizes to the winners: Ileft to right) Steven Sparling, first; Gail Brandon, second; and Judy Carter, third. --staff photo. Accident rate lower in 1974 'the total number of motor vehicle accidents within OPP jurisdiction in 1974 increased in Ontario but decreased in the Wingham area. Commissioner H. H. Graham of the OPP announced a six per cent increase over 1973 statistics to 76,000 accidents in 1974. Sgt. L. B. George of the Wingham detachment of the OPP, however, reports that accidents in this jurisdiction decreased from 364 in 1973 to 345 in 1974, The breakdown of figures for the Wingham arca for 1974 is not statistically significant but is interesting nonetheless, Fatali- ties decreased from seven in 1973 to five; injuries decreased from 105 in 1973 to 97 in 1974; and damages tinder $200 decreased from 75 in 1973 to 46 in 1974. Property damages over $200, BUSINESS DIRECTORY however, rose I'roni 177 in 1973 to 197 in 1974. Statistics for the province also recorded a marked reduction in fatal and personal injury accidents. Commissioner Graham said, "The Ontario Provincial Police has always strived to reduce the number of traffic deaths and injuries and it is gratifying to see such a definite improvement."

PG. 3, Report from Queen's Park Davis announces agreement to participate in Syncrude BY MURRAY GAUNT M.P.P. 1IIURON•BRUCEI It was announced in the Legislature this week by Premier Davis that the Governments of Canada, Alberta and Ontario have agreed in principle to participate in financing the Syncrude project for developing the oil reserves DI' the Athabasca Oil Sands in Alberta, This project to extract synthetic oil from the Mildred Lake site, north East of Edmonton, al a daily rate of 125,000 barrels, is expected to cost in the neighbourhood of $2 billion Private enterprise will invest $1.4 billion, ;id the remaining $6011 million twill be shared by the Federal Govern- ment, investing $300 million (151)40, Alberta $200 million (l0":0) and Ontario $100 million (5%,fi), The pipeline cost to transport the product to market will be also be borne by Alberta, as well as necessary electrical plant, plus other infrastructure costs, to an estimated total of $600 million, The Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board recently esti- mated that the sands may ultimately yield recoverable re- serves of 3 billion barrels, which at present oil consumption levels could supply Canada's oil for centuries. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon, while supporting Ontario's participation in Ole project, feels that Government should have obtained assurances on the possibility of the 5% investment increasing to considerably more than $100 million. Premier Davis has maintained that the decision to participate in the scheme was made on the basis of the best information available, although there are "some possible (hazards, Miller talks Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller was in Huron County Friday to discuss health problems.

Tournament could be in financial trouble The Goderich Recreation Board learned at its inaugural meeting recently that the Young Canada Week hockey tournament is in financial difficulty and may need municipal support in 1976. The board met a delegation from the Lions Club to discuss possible town support for the annual tournament. Pete 'MacEwan and Dick Wright, both Auburn books selling well The new books on the History of Auburn arc selling well, states Mrs. Celia 'Taylor, curator of the Auburn Tweedsmuir Village History book for the Auburn Women's Institute.

Dear Mrs. Taylor: Please accept my thanks and also those of Ole London Area 'i'weedsmuir Book for the splen- did book "History of Auburn" which 1 received this week. What a tribute it is t0 the women and others in the committee who contributed to its publication. Never will full credit be paid for all the work of our Women's Institutes in recording a history such as your branch, along with many other people, will be remembered for a long time, It Inas been placed in the box, along with aII other records, i'Iease express my sincere thanks to the Auburn Women's Institute. Sincerely, C. M. Williams, St, Thomas, Ontario. members of the service club, told the board that this year the Lions could handle the tournament costs but next year may be a different story. They said they wanted the board to know about the situation well in advance of any grant requests. Food .:osts are the major concern the club has in the operation of the annual Pee Wcc tourney. The club investigated several possibilities for giving the players one hot meal a day and found it could not be done cheaper than $2.50 per player per day. The structure of the tourna- ment has changed this year to offer the teams a second chance after a Toss, Originally teams were eliminated from play after their first Toss. This year the' losing teams will be assured a second game in a consolation series. Numerous complaints the Ontario Minor Hockey Associa- tion received concerning the single knockout system prompted the change. To accommodate the extra games the total team participation had to be reduced from 88 clubs to 62.

PLYMOUTH WINGHAM ONTARIO 37:3862 i The Ontario Legislature has passed a law to banish from the roads of Ontario for at least three months anyone convicted of impaired or criminally negligent driving. A driver's licence will be automatically suspended upon such conviction, and 0 second offence within five years will mean a six-month suspension. Anyone driving while under suspension will be liable for 0 further six. -month suspension and $500 fine, At present, under the Criminal Code, judges have some leeway on the matter of licence suspen- sion, and sometimes "restricted" licences are granted, permitting a suspended driver to use a vehicle at certain times of day, accommodating those whose live• lihood depends on being able to dive, such as truck drivers, travelling salesmen. The Minister of Transportation 0110 Communi- cations intends that there shall be no excerptions made in the future. We have been discussing in Committee the Estimates of the Workmen's Compensation Board. In 1973 there were some 418,438 on-the-job injuries, and benefits from the Board amounted to more than $186 million, an increase of $25 million (more than I I%) over the previous year. Amendments to the Workmen's Compensation Act, which took effect July 1, 1973, raised the maximum on which compensation was paid to $10,000 annually, from the previous maximum of $9,000, which continues to apply to all accidents occurring prior to July 1st. Pension payable to depen- dent widows was increased from $175 to $250 monthly, and additional monthly payments for indpendent children increased $I0 to $70, with payments to orphans increasing to $80. A strong issue in the House this week was on asbestos health (hazards. The Minister of Health says he is satisfied that there is no current health problem at the Johns -Manville Company plant. but it has been reported that during the last four years the ('onipensation Board has approv• cd at least 35 claims involving workers at the plant, inc•apaci• fated because of cancer and asbestos related conditions. Apparently Government inspec- tions made as recently as November of last year showed the plant had many work areas which were monitored as "unsafe" by acceptable standards.

It wasn't a nr\v Oeeuramcr, About every three \vcrks 01' till It happens. If someone hadn't answered quickly, it would have continued that one long ring for goodness knows how long. These are just a couple of examples of the kind of service local telephone customers have become accustomed to, These annoyances come in mind when enclosed in the telephone hill the other day cane the notice of the Ontario Telephone Service Commission hearing into another rate increase asked for by the Maitland Teleservices Limited, 11 the Commission agrees to grant the increase alter it's hearing in Toronto March 3 and its hearing in Brussels March l3, you'll once again be paying more. No one begrudges the company more money in a time of inflation. But one must \yonder Mien the company is going to start delivering some improved service for this continually rising cost. In the days when the struggling little local telephone companies ran the service perhaps such service could be tolerated. But since Maitland became a subsidiary of the huge Bell system, and since our costs keep going up, surely we can expect some service equal to what others are getting. It's about time people locally raised a fuss to make sure they get some better service. The upcoming hearings would he a good time. Tough stands needed The polls show the Ontario Liberal party could win its first election in some 30 years if it's held as expected this year. More important, the Liberals themselves feel they can win for the first time as evidenced by their exciting meeting in Windsor on the weekend, and just as important, the Progressive Conservatives are nervous that they might be beaten. Perhaps it's counting ones chickens before they are hatched, but it would seem a good time to look beyond an election and decide what a new government should do. The situation facing a new government \will be frightening. It will be faced with a huge bureacracy built up by a former government. It will be saddled with unworkable policies in the area of government reform, education, health and care and transportation. It will be under the fun from party functionaries to reverse 30 years of Tory porkbarreling by making sure Liberals get all the choice government jobs from the local licence bureau postings to jobs in the L.C.B.O. stores. They will need to move fast to impliment the much -talked -about but largely ignored land -use policies of the present government. Making the right steps will take a good deal of courage on the part of the new government. One step that is badly needed but unlikely to come is a complete review of the civil service and the paring out of all those who are drawing down big salaries but doing nothing to justify them. Civil servants, however, just DON'T get fired, and a new government is unlikely to undertake such a suicidal move in its term in office in 30 years. 30 years. We can perhaps be more hopeful of action in terms of reversing present misguided policies. Hopefully, a new government would toss out the idea of regional government for most areas and offer reviews to those areas which have been saddled with the monstor despite their protests. Less likely is a complete shakeup of the educational system which would see the administratively top-heavy county school boards wither abolished or at least drastically pared down. Again, civil servants are hard to push out once they are entrenched. All pressure possible should be put on Liberal candidates to make sure they will not get involved in the old "jobs for friends" side of politics if they form the government. Hopefully these candidates will have a conscience that won't allow then such tricks; but realistically we, the voters, should be their conscience. It is absolutely essential that we press a new government into taking action to stop the loss of good farmland in Ontario, Hopefully, a new government would have the foresight to completely change the path of development in Ontario toward the north and away from the good farmland of the south. • Now, in the coming months, is our chance to really force upon this potentially new government our feelings about how the province should be run. Lack of sense There's no country like snow country Those were the days The Durham) Chronicle recently took a swipe at the provincial government because The Hon. Eric Winkler had quashed once and for all the dream of a four -lane highway into the Grey -Bruce area. The reason given for the government's decision was that the highway would stimulate urban growth pressures in the province which would be "incompatible with agriculture." The editorial did not take issue with the idea of saving agricultural land, but it did point out that a good deal of the land in the two counties was not prime agricultural land. It also pointed out that while the government was talking piously of saving agricultural land in Grey -Bruce, it was rapidly putting farm land out of use in other areas of the province with new cities, continued growth of already populous arca and Hydro corridors. The point of the editorial can really be seen when one takes a look at what the government has been promoting (or at least allowing to happen) in Huron. Already hundreds of acres have been put out of production because of the power corridor. Ontario Hydro is threatening to make that loss seem miniscule by building a huge power project along the lakeshore in the county on some of the best agricultural land in Canada. The plant itself will take up a good deal of land. Power lines will take a good share. And what's left will be hurt by pollution. it's just another case of the governments old flim flam, of telling people in one area one thing and doing something altogether different in another area. 5 years ago FEBRUARY 11, 1970 The Huron Federation of Agriculture made several recommendations regarding rural fire protection. it recommended that no farmer should be without the protection of a fire truck and lire tanker and no tanker or truck should have to travel more than IS miles to the scene of a fire under normal circumstances. It also recommended that fire protection be included in any regional government plans and that county council ask the province for a Provincial Govern- ment fire protection survey on a county -wide basis. A delegation from the Auburn Village Trustees was present at the meeting of West Wawanosh township council asking for aid in persuading the county to carry out repairs to the main street in the village. A delegation also visited East Wawanosh council to try to gain some support. 10 years ago FEBRUARY 17, 1965 With the volume of milk increasing steadily it was necess- ary to install another 50,000 lbs. holding tank for storage of whole milk at the Blyth United Dairy and Poultry Co-operative cheese factory. This increases the hold- ing capacity to 130,000 lbs. at the plant. Milk volume of 125,000 lbs. per day is expected in the peak prdouction months next summer. Harold Cook hasn't been in the egg business for very long, but he sure has his hens trained to produce for a profit. Just recently he built a building to house 3000 laying hens and already they are producing at a 2 for 1 clip. On Monday of this week Harold brought an egg into the Standard office that he swears was laid by one of his hens. It was 31/4 inches long and 21/4 inches wide and 7' inches in circumference. Inside the large shell was an egg of normal size, Both eggs had yolk and appeared to be quite normal in that respect. 20 years ago FEBRUARY 16, 1955 The playoffs start in the local intermediate hockey group this week with the 13th of Hullett and Ripley intermediates locking horns in the first game tonight in Ripley and the second game scheduled for the Blyth arena on Saturday night. Let's get behind these boys and show them that, win or Tose they have our support. Those in charge of the ice carnival which was staged at the Blyth Community Centre arena last Friday night had their headaches during the day as a severe blizzard gathered force during the afternoon and by evening visability was so bad that driving conditions for those from a distance were most hazardous. In spite of this a splendid crowd braved the elements and the vent will show a nice profit for the arena. Jack Armstrong was named president of the Auburn arca local of the Ontario Farmers Union following an organizational meet- ing held in Auburn. Vice-presi- dent was Alf Nesbit and secretary Mrs. Nesbit. A group of villages and district farmers fathered around an oil stove at Norman Gowing's Service Station on Saturday afternoon enjoying the hospitality of their host were suddenly brought to the realization that there is danger amidst the -most tranquil scenes when the oil stove gave a mighty puff and scattered soot and oil'substance all over the visitors as well as the interior of the premises. The explosion was really a double-barreled one .because at the same time the coal stove in the basement also blew up. Cause of the explosion was the application of some oil on the coal fire. Both stoves are connected to the same chimney and the basement explosion set the oil stove upstairs to bouncing as the concussion raced through the pipes. A passerby at the moment saw the pipe atop the chimney on the building lilt about a foot from it's moorings and then settle gently back into place. No damage was done except some black, oily faces and some soiled clothing. 30 years ago FEBRUARY 14, 1945.

It said that people at home must be sure the fighting man came home to a country where his dollar was still worth a dollar and warned against unnecessary buying. 50 years ago FEBRUARY 19, 1925 The passing- of Mr. George King on early 'Tuesday morning removes from our midst our oldest citizen -- one who has played a conspicuous part in the. life of the community for many years and his demise is much regretted. Mr. King was born on the first day of March 1932 on a farm in the township of Athel., Prince Edward County where he re- mained until he was 26 years of age when he married Miss Mary Wright of Picton and came three years later to Huron County and settled on the second concession of Morris Towonship. After 15 years of arduous labour incident to pioneer life, he disposed of the farm and moved to Wingham where he remained with his family for three years, On leaving Wingham, Mr. King came to Blyth and purchased a flour feed and grocery business which he carried on in an old frame building which stood on the ground where The Standard Book and Stationery Store is now situated (Dinsley Street at the rear of what is today Madill's). , THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 12, 1975, PG, 5. OFA studies plan to protect farm incomes CONTINUE)) FROM PAGE 1 months 10 let the local directors know how county farmers feel about the plan. Guest speaker for the meeting was Mason Bailey of Blyth 0.F.A. Director for north-west Huron who spoke 00 contracts and gave (he farmers an idea of what to look out for when it carte to signing contracts. He said the 0.F.A.'s property committee gets more complaints about contracts than about any other source. He said farmers too often either don't have things in the contract that should be or don't understand what is in the contract. Big Brother organization started in Huron A group of 15 interested residents of the county set the wheels in notion at an initial meeting to institute a Big Brother program in Huron County. Organizer Greg Lawrence and other interested persons includ- ing clergy sten and representa- tives of the Children's Aid Society formal a steering committee from the meeting and further meetings will be held to examine the need in the County. They will then proceed with the necessary steps to get the program into operation as soon as possible. Mr. Lawrence is being assisted by Cathy Cruickshank, a student in the recreation leadership course at Fanshawc College. Miss Cruickshank will operate out of the Children's Aid Society build- ing completing the necessary leg work. The irtital phase of the program is to contact schools, probabtion officers, the health unit and children's aid to establish a need for the venture. The CAS will assist the program financially, while the recreation committees of Brussels, Seaforth, Clinton and Goderich have expressed interest in the institution of a County association. The group will offer services to boys of the county between the ages of six and sixteen, Treat eyes like expensive camera In today's world, with everyone on the go, you can injure your sight in the twinkling of an cyc or the span of a camera flash. Accidents take place in the most surprising places • your own kitchen, the basement worshop, the school playground. in a special White Cane Week interview, Miss S. J. Hennig- hausen, Coordinator, Prevention of Blindness Services, The Canadian National institute for the Blind emphasized, "Since sight is the gateway to 90 percent of our knowledge, our eyes are too important to risk life-long impairment,,, Last year 287 Canadians suffered serious cyc injuries on the hockey rink. The figure was reported by the Canadian Ophthalmological Society. Only 104 returned to full vision after treatment. On the road to recovery the group spent 968 days in hospital and 17 of the hockey buf'f's became legally blind in one eye. About hall' the accidents, 137, happened to young players under 20 years of age. "'The survey is only at its beginning," said Miss Hennig- hausen, "but it shows that the danger to hockey players'eyes is very real. A face mask would have prevented most of these accidents." ""the snowmobile is another source of serious eye injury. It's such an exciting sport, most people think of the joy ride only and forget the dangers that go. with it," she said. "Too many people arc thrown off, injure their heads and damage their sight." A contract by definition, he said, is a written agreement between two or more persons to undertake or refrain from doing things. Because a contract is only between people for their use, it is not a crime to break a contract and the only way a contract can be enforced is through the civil courts: yet very few cases ever make it to court. Probably more contracts arc gotten out of by simply not fulfilling the contract than by any other way, Mr. Bailey said, because unless the other party is willing to go to court to enforce the contract, the matter will be dropped. Most of the contracts farmers sign, he said, have been contracts drawn up by the other party they are doing business with whether it be an equipment company or a building contractor and thus are not usually to the advantage of the farmer. Mr. Bailey said that even standard contracts can be changed if the farmer insists on changes in wording. He said he wondered if the 0.F.A, might design a standard contract for farmers to use which would help tilt any benefit in the contract to the farmer's side. He advised farmers to ask a salesman to explain everything in a contract and if he can't give a satisfactory explanation then the farmer should take the contract to his lawyer before signing or have changes written in. A resolution was passed at the meeting calling on the Q.F.A. to investigate the practice of some fertilizer suppliers to insist on tying one product to another. The resolution followed complaints from two farmers that they had been told they would have to buy a fertilizer blend containing potash when they didn't want any potash. It was felt the companies felt they could stake more money on the total blend rather than by selling the fertilizer without potash.

'1'1111 BI.Y'1'II STANDARD, FEBRUARY 12, 1975, Agricultural Tidbits Farmers are nuts, contented nuts WITH ADRIAN VOS At a farmers' meeting I attended recently the farmers were asked to fill out a gtlestionai'c stating among other things \hat the value of their farm, equipment and livestock ryas. Another question asked their average income over the last live years. The result was rather shocking. Eighty percent had a value of between $100,000 and $300,000 invested. The income from this investment for 70 percent of the farmers was less than $10,000 over the last five years. 0, one compares this with the 513,000 income per year that the postmen are asking one must ask oneself: „What and I doing farming? Why not take 0 job from eight to five that requires no investment, and in many cases, little brains, and sell the bloody farm." Well, I guess you know the answer. We don't work for the money alone. We like to be our own boss. We like to make our own decisions and whcrc else can one expect to do this better than on the farm. We are nuts, but we are by and Targe contented nuts. So be it. ***** A story in Macicans magazine bewailed the fact that so much grain is fed to livestock. It is by and large a good article even it' the writers' facts about the amount of grain needed to produce a pound of nkat are way off base. If his figure was accurate, not one pound of pleat would be produced, because the price would be so high that only the very rich could afford to buy it. His concern about the underfed peoples of the world I share. However before we as farmers should feel guilty for producing meat, and consumers for buying it, we should first get our priorities right . Enormous amounts of number one wheat, barley and corn are used to produce gin, beer and whiskey, while the grain used for livestock feeding is Iowa grade, which is not used for food. After society cuts the use of alcoholic drinks and 5101)5 eating pastry, then I would feel guilty if there is 0 shortage of grain. If our western society would life import restric- tions on products front the poorer \wild and pay them a reasonable price for their product, they would be able to buy our grain al 0 reasonable price, or better still they could afford to irrigate their crops and put on enough fertilizer so They could grow their own crops.

Try African Violets If your "red" tllunlhs stops any houseplant you set from growing, try an African Violet. It will thrive despite practically any obstacle. "House carr for this plant is so easy," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Horticultur- ist, D.M. Snagstcr, "that even the beginner can nmkc few fatal mistakes." RURAL ROUNDUP NUTRIENT LEVEL LOW IN FEED RATIONS THIS YEAR A poor growing season across Ontario in 1974 resulted in a noticeable reduction of yields. But it may also be an indication of future problems. H. J. Clapp, dairy specialist in charge of the Feed Testing Laboratory of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food expressed concern that lower levels of nutrients showing up in feed samples may cause production, reproduction and health problems by spring. "The late spring, dry weather in the summer and early frost may have restricted uptake of nutrients by the plants. so these nutrients arc not available to cattle," he says. "'the crux of the 11101Iel' IS that more mineral is going to be needed in most rations to make up for the lack of nutrients. As a result, our recommendations call for almost double the mineral used in most rations." Just how serious the problem is depends on the crop. In pure samples taken from the 1974 Ontario crops, fall wheat, oats and corncob meal have a lower percent protein than in previous crop years. A wide variation from crop to crop and from area to arca in the levels of macro- and .microelements compounds the problem. In central and western Ontario the percent protein of hay crop silage has fallen nearly three percent; corn silage across the province is down in nearly all eleillents. But not all samples require a double amount of mineral, In some t cases where calcium is low but other elements are satisfactory, the specialist is recommending the addition of limestone, "As a general rule of a thumb, where farmers normally use 20 pounds of mineral to a ton, or one percent of the ration, they should be considering two percent," he says. "But before changing a ration, they should check their feeds, have them analyzed, and talk with the • specialists at the Ministry's county and district offices." WAIT UNTIL MID -MARCH TO APPLY NITROGEN TO WINTER WHEAT Many farmers, anxious to be out in the fields again, begin to spread nitrogen on their winter wheat about this time. But C. K. Stevenson, soils and fertilizers specialist at the Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, warns against applying the fertilizer too early, "Because the ground is frozen, the nitrogen just sits on the soils surface until it is washed into low spots or drainage ditches by rain or melted snow. In the spring, the farmer frequently finds there is too little nitrogen on his field's high spots and too much on the low ground." To get the most benefit from nitrogen on winter wheat, spread it from mid-March to mid-April. Applied during the mornings when fields are still hard, it can be absorbed into partially thawed ground during warm afternoons. "This way, there is less chance of rain washing the nitrogen away before it troves into the soil," Mr, Stevenson says. Although premature nitrogen application is wasteful, it docs not pay to delay application until after mid-April either, Between then and olid -May, winter wheat starts to grow but the ground is usually too wet for field work. If the nitrogen is not on winter wheat by mid-April, it usually cannot be applied until after growth has begun, by which time the opportunity for it to be of most benefit was passed. 1 i(1wevel'. 1llcre are 1(11e o1• two rules to observe. Keep your African Violet near 0 north window is preferable. Because it requires relatively little light, never place it in direct sunlight. Fred it a complete liquid fertilizer according to package instruc- tions. To prevent yellow of white spots, circles or streaks on the foliage, keep both fertilizer and wales off the leaves, Thoroughly saturate the entire p01 with warm water when the soil surface feels only slightly moist, but. never leave the pot standing in water.

Start gloxinias now For a colorful display from May to September, you should pro- duce big, broad, tubular flowers in red, violet, white, pink or variegated colors, against a background of large, velvety leaves," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticultur- ist, D. M. Sangster. In commercial greenhouses, gloxinias are grown from secds to mature plants with good shows of bloom in about three months. At honk, they can be started from leaf cuttings which, when rooted, produce tubers and then plants which flower in four to five months. When your tubers are ready for planting, they should be placed round, smooth side down in a mixture of equal parts soil, peat and perlite or sand, Barely cover them and keep them in a warm area. Water sparingly. As soon as sprouts appear, remove all but one for a more shapely plant. Place the gloxinias in a strong light, but not in direct sunlight, and keep the tempera- ture around them at 65°F. At this stage, water them well and regularly, but avoid wetting the leaves. To encourage the growth of developing buds, remove all old blooms. After flowering has ended, induce dormancy by withholding water for several weeks. Rest the tubers in hots of soil, at a temperature of not less than 45 degrees Fahrenheit, until next .February. Rena Kolkman scored the high single with 280 and was also high triple with 671. Mary Davey of Blyth took the high average of the night 216. Team scores to date arc: Della's Slaves, 37; Daffy Dolls, 37; Evil Knicvels, 34; Hoggics Hippies, 34; Try Harris, 33; Crown Jewels, 32; Pin Pickers, 31; and Striking Streakers, 30. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hesselwood of Blyth; his wife, Fay Cook who he married on November 16, 1969 in Blyth United Church; one daughter, Mamie Fay; two stepsons, Terry and Richard, all at honk; two brothers, Art Hoggart of 13ayf ield and Reg Hesselwood of Blyth; and one sister, Mrs. Robert (Lois) Govier of' Seaford). The funeral was held on February 11 from the S. J. Walker Funeral Honk, Wingham at 2 p.ni, with Rev. Passmore officiat- ing. Burial was in Blyth Union Cemetery. Pallbearers were Lorne Hamil- ton, Toni Heffron, Allan Appleby, Ken Appleby, Bob McDougall and Murray Govier. Flower bearers were Jim Carter and Grant Boshart. From the Minister's Study Ash Wednesday Meaning BY REV. GARNET A. POTTER AUBURN AND DONNYBROOK UNITED CHURCH Have you ever wondered why at the start of the Lenten season there is on religious calendars at least, a day marked Ash Wednesday (yesterday.) At first, preparations for Easter lasted 40 hours, beginning on Ash Wednesday. In the fifth century the time was extended to 36 days and later on, four days were added to make t 40 days. Our Lord's temptations in the wilderness lasted forty days. Ashes were and still are, used on this particular Wednesday as a token of humiliation and penitence. In Roman churches, the branches used on Palm Sunday of the previous year arc burned to provide the ashes which are then sprinkled with Holy Water. The priest dipping his finger in the ashes, marks the sign of the cross on the forehead of the worshipper, saying, in effect: "Remember man, that you are dust, and to dust you shall return," Ash Wednesday comes as a reindeer that we are dust and as creatures of dust, sinful in the sight of God, and should cause us to bare our body, mind and spirit to our God as he has revealed himself in his Son, Jesus Christ. Humility and penitence should be our dominating, moods on Ash Wednesday. But lest this mood make us in' the 20th century too depressed, let us also remember some of the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. From the deadly pain of the Cross, he said: "Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing." Let us also remember, the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, and as the Gospel of John tells us: "To all who receive Him, who believe in His name, he gives power to become children of God." (John 1:12a) From humility and pentinence to triumph and resurrection.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: My husband is mad at are because I an) disgusted by his frequent attempts to unzip my slacks, unbutton my blouse and get me to make love on the sofa, partially clothed. Never a kiss, or a word of tenderness, just a sudden attempt to disrobe me and draw Inc to the living room --sometimes right in the middle of doing dishes. He makes me feel like a tramp—or perhaps he imagines himself a caveman, and goes out of his head. I can't figure it out. I freeze when he behaves like this. Then he gets very unpleas- ant because I am not "respons- ive". 1 believe a wife should be treated with dignity. I consider such crudeness an insult. Please help me with this problem, Ann; it's ruining our marriage, -- DEGRADED IN NORTH CAROL- INA DEAR D: The variations of sexual turn -ons are mind-boggling. And this doesn't mean a person is crazy, It simply means he is a little kinky in this particular area. (1 once had a letter from a 33 -year-old married woman who could get sexual satisfaction only in the back seat of a car. Her main concern was that the neighbours might see her and her husband trooping into the garage in their bathrobes.) You husband's turn -on is probably the caveman fantasy (it is his "motivator"), so don't consider it an insult. My advice is to go together for marital counseling. You need to under- stand why you resent it. With a competent intermediary you'll make it. DEAR ANN LANDERS: This is for the lady who was tired of being entertained in "base- ments." She said that after spending $7 on a hair -do and $5 on a sitter, she should be allowed to sit in the living room. "Basements", she said, "are for children with sticky fingers." May 1 tell her what our adult friends have done to our living Broadfoot tour now underway The Dave Broadfoot revue "Take A Beaver To Lunch" got underway on Monday in Graven- hurst. The show will be hop -scotching across the northern part of Ontario this week in a gruelling schedule. The cast will return to southern Ontario on February 22 for a performance in Lindsay and should be well rested before coming to Blyth on February 27 for a performance in Memorial Hall. The troop will have a break in Toronto earlier in the week they come to Blyth. The show will take place in Blyth at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are now on sale at the Standard office or at Blyth Printing or in Clinton at the Clinton News -Record. Admission is $3.50. Those wanting to attend are advised to buy their tickets early since there are only 400 seats available. Beat the 81g One... Heart Attack ly Give Heart Fund One should acknowledge cards room?

Buying and borrowing can sometimes cause problems. This is what Ontario is doing to protect you. There are basic common sense rules for buying and selling. Unfortunately, people don't always know these rules or follow them, and that allows unscrupulous sellers to take advantage of people. Common sense is your best detence. But you have another defender, too. Two pieces of legislation have been passed by your On- tario Government in order to help you. The Consumer Protection Act is designed to protect you from problems that may arise when you buy goods or services, or borrow money. It is administered by the Consumer Protection Bureau, which also handles complaints and inquiries about questipn- able business practices, and it controls: • registration of itinerant sellers (i.e., door- to-door salesmen) • contracts- over $50 where delivery of goods, services or payment has not been completed • full disclosure of credit terms • special discounts for getting friends to buy (referral selling) • unsolicited goods (including unsolicited credit cards) • false or misleading advertising • penalties for offences The Consumer Reporting Act is another law designed to protect you. It gives you the right to know what credit and personal in- formation about ,you is on file with com- panies, and an opportunity to have inaccu- racies corrected, and prohibits consumer reporting agencies from using•iiormation unless it is stored in Canada. Accor. ing to this Act, you are entitled to request in writ- ing that the contents of your file and the sources of information be disclosed to you. Your Ontario Government has also pre- pared two easy -to -understand booklets that describe the Consumer Protection Act and the Consumer Reporting Act. The book- lets explain these two important Ontario laws more fully. If you would like copies, write to: Ontario Consumer Queen's Park Toronto, Ontario M4Y 1Y7 Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations Sidney Handleman, Minister Government of Ontario_.-_ William Davis, Premier BY BILL SMILEY THIS, apparently. is Women's Liberation Year, or something of the sort. So be it, Aren't you getting a little sick of it all? I mean you and I don't care whether you're a man or a woman or a hermaphrodite. Don't worry chaps; I ant not afraid. I have a northern hideout, an old atone bomb shelter, with three %vonlcn laid on: one to bathe me, one to dress me, and one to cook for me. So I'm going to say exactly what I want to, and let the chippies fall where they may. First, I take a look at my own family, to see which wonlcn need liberating Answer? Zero, My wife needs liberating like need a kick in the groin. Ever since* I met her, she has been, not removing her chains, but apply- ing mine, I clank when 1 walk. She doesn't need to be liberated. She needs to be tied up. She has made it quite clear that she is: smarter than I about everything from making out the income tax return to screwing in a light bulb; better looking than (and all we have to do is look in a mirror); more artistic than 1 (she's always frigging with the- color thing on the television while I bellow 'I don't care if it's all purple, shut up and watch the program'); and in better shape than 1. 1 always concede the last-named without a fight. invariably say, "Boy, 1 could never scrub the kitchen in half an hour, like you. Dear, It would probably take me half the afternoon." And I'm right. So there's no conflict of interest there. She also has ajoint account, the house is in her name, the car is in her name and if I dropped dead tomorrow, she'd have so much insurance she could give Jackie Onassis a run for her money. Liberation my armpit! My daughter is in the same boat, or category. She alternately bullies and wheedles her father and her husband. She takes nothin' offa nobody, especially male cops. She is in a career coursc, and she is using, or kicking out of the way, every male who stands in her path. With one exception. She is being used and pushed around by the only male who could do it, her year-old, walking son, Pokey. And there is the only hope 1 see for the future of the male. Looking further afield, 1 remember two dames who were so liberated you wondered who was wearing the pants in the family, in both cases. One was my mother. She called the shots in our family from the time she put on her wedding ring. She decided which of the kids would be licked, and she did the licking. She decided what speed my dad should drive at. She pulled us through the Depression. My dad was a sweet, gentle chap like myself and always sat in the rumble seat on each new family enterprise. My' mother-in-law was the sank. With a combination of tempers, tirades and tears, she made my father-in-law walk on eggs until he didn't feel comfort- able,unless he had an egg undefoot. Ditto with my sisters and sisters-in-law, They bully and needle and haggle their men unmercifully, They continually make them feel that they (the women) had poor luck in the draw, and make veiled and usually imagincry references to the great chances they had to marry someone worthwhile, who turned out to be somebody, And this phenomenon is not something new, something of the 20th century, Queen Boadicea, if anyone remembers her, had a Liberation for women? It's the men who need it! great time splashing up Roman legions until she died of an overdose of woad. Lady Macbeth was 00 shrink- ing, unlibcratcd voilet. She was more or shrieking, liberated violent. Queen Elizabeth 1 diddled her Would-be lovers for years and ran a growing empire with a velvet glove 00 an iron list. Madame de Pompadour liter- ally ran the French empire in the clays of the 15111 Louis, and she wasn't even married. Nobody is weeping over Jackie what -ever, %Ilio bounced from a U.S, president 10 a Greek billionaire. Nor are ninny tears shed over the way poor little, helpless Liz 'Taylor has been mistreated by five or six or seven husbands, Of course, all these women had charm, and drive, or both, and Weren't 100 mulch conecrned about the cost of hamburg. 'That's what the Women's Lib is going to plc with, among other things. One last example. I know a lot of women teachers. You think they need liberation? Like hell. They smoke and chink and swear like sailors and swagger around in comfortable pant suits while the plea strangle in shirts and ties, And the real clincher is that they make us much money as men, and frequently more. 'Top admini- strative jobs are open to them. They don't want them. Why? Not because they can't handle them, Most of them would do a better job than the dint -witted males who now inhabit these posts. No. It's because they don't want to give up their feminine perks: staying home for two days with a sniffle; shooting oft' to the hair -dresser once a week; breaking into tears when everything becomes Too Much For Me. I have always treated a woman as a woman first and a person second. 1 have used the scone treatment with old men and little kids. If 1 have to start treating women as people first and women second, 1 know who is going to complain the loudest. The women. And the second loudest complaint will be from yours truly. It will destroy all the mystery and glamor and excite- ment which are the only things that make life worthwhile. Men, rally around, For years, both sexes have been equal, but women (lave been t11o1'e equal than men. Now, all they want to do is Widen the gap.

Getting the right pesticide The 1975 crop season may be the one considered the "Year of the Pesticide Crunch", A recent report on the supply situation of agricultural pesticides describes the present outlook in this way: "Inventory supplies in the hands of manufacturers and distributors are as low as or lower than in 1974; however, most companies have expanded their manufacturing facilities and expect to meet the present demands." The report was prepared following a meting of representatives of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Ontario Ministry of the Environ- ment, and Agriculture Canada with manufacturers and distribu- tors of agricultural pesticides, One consolation is that the situation is not as bleak as findings of March, 1974, when predictions were that shortages occurring in 1974 would likely he carried over into the 1975 season. If this year's supplies are only adequate (and. in some cases. tight), not only will the lead time for ordering pesticide require- ments be increased, but prices are expected to rise noticeably for many products. The situation is tough enough, however, that farmers are beginning to understand why they have been urged by researchers and extension personnel repeatedly in the last few years to diagnose their problems before trying to solve support the mentally retarded then. Weed spraying mus! be a precision operation as there may be a two-week time lag before results arc evident, This may make it too late for a rescue operation and the resulting crop loss must be accepted. Dr, J, D, Bandcen, of the Ontario Agricultural College's Crop Science Department, says that formers have come to depend on the effectiveness of chemical pesticides, "In most cases, pesticides used properly have given producers good control against weeds, insects and diseases, But farmers arc expecting still better and better response to the chemicals," he says, Seeds and weeds specialist W.D. 'Taylor, of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, states that there is "a fine line between perfect weed control and no crop damage", a line so tenuous that it's hard to accomplish every time, even with topnotch crop management practices. Any weed control recommendation must be considered as "what is most likely to succeed'', In greenhouse or rowth room tests under controlled conditions, a herbicide can be expected to he as good as its label each time it is used. But because of the extreme range of conditions (hat might be encount- ered in the field, sonic variation from perfection must be accepted. "Atrazine in corn, for example, provides excellent weed control," points out Dr. Bandcen. "But there are still non -susceptible weeds that are missed. By using atrazine in the right combination with other chemicals, fields can be kept relatively clean." Both Bandcen and Taylor emphasize the importance of' knowing the problem weeds, Then the cleanliness of the field will depend on the farmer's ability to choose the right chemicals, together with tinning and accuracy of the application and, lastly, the cooperation of the Well thermal). Advice from extension special- ists at the county and district agricultural offices and from the colleges of agriculture can be valuable in determining just what the problem is and what chemical controls are needed. Like a doctor's advice, a correct diag- nosis followed by a prescribed treatment should control the problem. WORK CtOTHES FOR MEN BY HA GH'S Y 88 OF STURDY LON WEA INC FABRIC. R.W.

BY KEITH ROULSTON At a farm meeting the other night I was listening while a group of farmers protested against a particular practice of a fertilizer company and complain- ed that there should be some government control to prevent such things. Nothing unusual to that. Every time you turn around these days you hear this or that group asking for governmental controls on some oth' .1;roup. It was the very fact that this is no. longer unusual that set me to thinking. Farmers are probably the most independ- ently minded, free -enterprisers Facts on snow While digging through the files at Maitland Valley, Rocky Raccoon uncovered some facts which people seldom consider about snow. Most of us know that snow is frozen water in a variety of small, crystallized forms, and that it is good for making snowmen. Some other common properties of snow • include the necessity of shovell- ing it from driveways, it's association with cold weather and higher heating bills and it's tendancy to allow you to get your car stuck. What most people stem to forget, is that snow is a very important commodity in the workings of nature. The depth of snow and the nature of the nast, or crust, determine how, when, and where many animals get their food during the winter. The insulating capacity of snow keeps warmth near the earth to protect seedlings and to keep insetcs and certain young animals alive through freezing surface temperatures. Even man, in northern climates, uses the compaction and insulating quali- ties of snow to build an effective shelter against the attack of sharp, hexagonal snow "needles", (which are formed in colder climates), and saves him from harsh Arctic temperatures. Snow increases the light reflecting capacity of the Earth during winter months. It sends the suns rays back into the clouds where the energy is reelected a second time by Earth's atmos- phere, and is returned to the surface as heat energy, This procession known as the "Green House Effect" helps the growth of plants and depends largely on the reelecting quality of the snow. Although snow is a hazard and a hinderance in many cases, Rocky would like to remind you that it also has it's good qualities when it performs it's essential duties in the natural environ- ment, left in the country today. Yet at nearly every meeting of farmers you go to these days, you'll hear farmers demanding government take action over low prices for farm products or to regulate companies that supply services to the farmers. It's just a sign of the times. We've gone in less than a century from virtually no government control and little government at all to a time when there is virtually not a single area that the government doesn't have its finger in the pie, and the government bureaucracy is one of the biggest organizations in the nation. Some o'nolr would :accrihe this growth of government to power hungry politicians who are out run the whole country. In some cases this can be true: I'd classify the provincial government's arbitrary decision on county school boards, regional govern- ment and regional health care as examples of giving us something we didn't ask for, acid indeed don't want. But in most cases, government steps in because it has been asked, indeed demand- ed to take action. In the period of history of my lifetime I think I've heard more politicians in the dog house because they didn't move fast enough with govcrnnient intervention than I have for moving too fast with intervention. Government intervention, like many things has gone from one extreme to another. A century ago there were no govcrnnient controls and unscrupulous busi- nessmen took advantage of the situation to make fortunes at the expense of others. It was a time of survival of the fittest when strongmen like J.P. Morgan, John Rockefeller and Carnegie made fortunes and weak people, like the children working in mines from the time they were 10 or so for 15 -hour days. it was the day of the "sweat shop" where companies with bluff and bullies kept the workers in line, and poor. Government reluctantly acted to provide a minimum of protection. In an effort to protect themselves, workers formed unions and whole -scale wars took place between the make -shift unions and the powerful conipanics trying to quash them. Government finally stepped in to make the formation of unions legal and forbid the self-styled police forces of the big conipanics, Government interventaion came into its own in North American in the early 1900's when U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt step- ped in to control huge monopolies and protect consumers against moguls who were willing, for instance, to produce contaminat- ed food rather than take the care (and expense) to produce pure foods or drugs. From that long over due government protection, we quick- lv progressed toward greater and greater government intervention. The Depression brought the concept that the government should lie able to manage the economy to ensure that there will be no great •depressions again. And so we've moved a long way down the road from pure capitalism and toward socialism. Sonie nwves, no doubt have been for the best and some for the worst. But where do we draw the line, on government intervention? We're continually calling for more government intervention and how long will it be before it makes more sense for us to move to complete socialism rather than tinker any more with the old capitalist system? How long can we continue in this never-never land between free enterprise and a completely govcrnnient control- led society? Unless there is a turn -around in the demands of the public, 1 can sec little chance that this won't be a socialist country in the next generation or so. If it is, though, it will be because we',' the ordinary citizens, drove ourselves there by asking for more and more government controls, It won't be because of some subversive plot hatched by the russians or some young radicals at a university, If we don't want socialism, it's tap (0 us to stop it.
