Coyote damage 'shows no change Bellinger says The amount, of damage being done by coyotes in the arca covered by the Wingham Office of the Ministry of Natural Resources has not increased significantly in the past several years, Roy Bellinger. game and lash entorce- mcnl co-ordinator for the ministry said Two charged in Friday's Legion breakin Two lilytln amen have been charged in connection with a break-in at the Blyth Legion spine time Friday night. Ontario Provincial Police from Wingham said most ()I' the goods stolen, valued at $87 have been recovered. Charged in connec- tion with the case • was Barry McDonald, aged 18 oI' Blyth and Leslie Cook, 16 of Blyth. They face charges of break, enter and theft, Constable Ron Bell of the Winghatn Ontario Provincial Police investigated the crinis, . seven attacks 00 sheep were recorded in 1974, fairly constant over recent years. in the Owen Sound arca, however, there have bccn great increases in coyote attacks, he said. He was speaking to about 40 township livestock evaluators from Huron, Bruce and Perth Counties at a course at the Hullett Wildlife area on how to distinguish between attacks by dogs and attacks by coyotes or wolves, Mr. Bellinger said there areno wolves in this area, He also estimated that less than two per cent of attacks on livestock by coyotes and wolves were on cattle, "And I've never seen a goose, chicken, or turkey that's bccn attacked," he said, "although that's probablj' because predators can carry them away with then." The course was designed to teach the evaluators how to distinguish between attacks by dogs and attacks by coyotes and wolves. Under provincial legislation, compensation for attacks by dogs comes from the township fund set up and financed through dog tax. Damage by wolves or coyotes is compensated by the province. Under provincial law, Mr. Bellinger said, farmers have the right to kill roaming dogs found in areas where livestock is kept. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26, I975, Hullett will join Huron -Bruce in riding boundary shuffle Another report 00 changes in the provincial Electoral Boundaries Act has been tabled in the Ontario Legislature that puts half of Huron County in Jack Riddell's Riding, and the Northern Half in Murray Gaunt's Riding. Both are Liberal members, The new bill would see voters in 'fuckcrsmith and Scaforth returned to the Huron Riding, after objections were raised over a report last December that placed 'fuckcrsmith and Seaforth in thc Huron - Bruce Riding. The Huron Riding will lose Lobo 'township and S1rathroy from its Southern end. They will be added to Middlesex, The new 11uron•Middlesex Riding will include the Towns of Goderich, Clinton, Scaforth, Exeter, and the Huron County Townships of Goderich, Stanley, Tucker - smith, Hay, Stephen and Usborne; the Middlesex 'i'ownships of Adelaide, Bid - Mph, East Williams, McGillivcry, and West Williams and thc Towns of Parkhill, Ailsa Craig, and Lucas. The remainder of Huron County, including Blyth, Wingham and the Townships of McKillop, Hullett, Colborne, Ashfield, East and West Wawanosh. Grey, Howick, Morris, Turnhcrry and 13russcls Will be in Huron -Bruce Riding. Jack Riddell, the Liberal member of Huron -Middlesex, may be running against the present Conservative Agriculture Minister, -Bill Stewart, who loses his riding, partially to Middlesex and partially to Huron. Mr. Stewart, who has been agriculture minister for 14 of his 18 years in the Legislature, is under party pressure to return to the legislature in an election expected either this June or in October. Mr. Stewart said he• will not contest the Middlexes riding which now becomes Conservative MPP Bob Eaton's. If Mr. Stewart Docs run in Huron- Middlcscx, he ►dill he contesting a riding in kvhich he doesn't live, because. his farm is in London Township, which is in the Middlesex riding, He had indicated last year that he would not seek re-election. The changes in the electoral boundaries was an effort by a three -nun commission to make the ridings more equitable in the province, The C'oniniission consisted of Mr. ,Justice Campbell Grant of London, Legislature Clerk Rodericlr Lewis, and University of Western Ontario professor Robert Sansom. The comissions' final report, which was tabled in the Legislature on 'Tuesday, increases the number of seats from 117 to 125. Six of the eight new scats are in Metro Toronto, and the other two are in Kitchener and Ottawa. Puppet show feature in Easter program The Blyth branch of the Huron County Public Library will become a miniature theatre this Saturday, but only for a short while.

Editorials J ust not enough dirt Despite attempts by the Opposition parties to make the dredging scandal appear like a Watergate cover up, Canadians seem virtually unconcerned about the whole thing, from a political standpoint at least. Neither the press, or the Opposition has been able to dig up any real evidence to of political wrong -doing. The political headhunting drove Labour Minister John Munro into hospital and if anything, put public sympathy on the side of the government, not the Opposition. When C.B.C. linked the name of John Turner with the scandal, he made a move likely had many people in the nation cheering when he threatened legal action and had C.B.C. backtracking as fast as it could on the whole matter. But while, from a political standpoint, the dredging scandal seems to. have died down, it is interesting from a standpoint of morality in business. Like the Watergate affair, most of us suspected that this sort of thing went on, but when it is actually revealed, we're a little startled. And again like Watergate we wonder if this is just the tip of an iceberg: the dredging companies rigged bids and got caught but how many other companies dealing with government have rigged bids and gotten away with it? It would seem the government, indeed all government, should be working harder to make sure it isn't being taken every time it lets a contract to this or that company. After all, it's our money that's being stolen. Those forgotten new cities A recent report in a Toronto newspaper hinted that the string of new cities the provincial government had planned for Ontario are now "on the back burner": in other words, we won't be seeing any action by the Provincial government on new cities. The reasons given in the report were that this is an election year and the government wants to play it cool; that Darcy McKeotigh, not John White is now calling the shots as treasurer of the province and has different ideas of what should be done; and the government is going to concentrate on one of these new cities near Pickering before getting mixed up in the rest. Whatever the reasons, the decision to cool the issue is a blessing for Ontario, in the long run. True, we need new cities in Ontario, but we do not need new cities in the heart of the best farmland in the province as the provincial government has been planning. The "new" city at Pickering will really just be an extension of Toronto which is already growing too fast. It will eat up farmland. The city planned for Haldimand county would take up some of the most prosperous farmland in the nation. We need new cities, but we need them to the north and east in an area that will reshape the growth of the province and spread population pressures more evenly. Why not a new city along the north shore of Georgian Bay provided with cheap power from a new generating station that could be built there instead of in Huron county? This provincial government is always trying to tell us how dynamic it is, but for the most part its really to frightened to take a really far-sighted view. It's compromising the province to death. Time for a new system The inadequacies of the present system of financing municipal, school and county budgets have long been known. It's about time something was done about correcting the situation. How would you like to be a municipal councillor this year? He sees costs of his own level of government increasing due to inflation and knows that taxes will have to go up. He sees the need for improved facilities in his own municipality and worries where he can get the money. And on top of all that, he knows that he'll be getting an order to provide a good deal of money for the county and school board levels of government. They are spending the money, but the local councillors has the responsibility for raising it, and he also gets the blame when the taxes go up. It's like the husband or wife who has to earn the money which the other partner goes out and spends like crazy. The only difference is that a partner in marriage can legally refuse to be responsible for the debts of the other partner. Municipal councils can't. The provincial government has been busy re -organizing everything in sight in the past decade yet it's done nothing to clean up this archaic . fiscal system. The government, for instance, unloaded a ridiculously expensive education system on us, but leaves it up to the local municipal councils to raise a good deal of the money to run the system, even though the municipality has virtually no say in how the money is spent. The only solution seems to be for the government to take over 100 per cent funding of education. The situation at the county level is just as bad, but the solution seems harder to come by. Due to government pressures, the county level has grown enormously in the past few years as county library, county planning and county health systems have been set up, This year alone the county budget jumped 20 percent. - if the county is going to continue this growth pattern, it should have its own source of revenue, At present, it sets a budget and leaves it up to the municipality to figure out where the money is to come from. Many times, to try to keep tax increases from the ridiculous stage, local councils have to cancel their own programs which would have been far more beneficial to the local taxpayers than some pie -in -the -sky county dream. Some sanity in financing is needed. Maybe if the provincial government would put its mind to work on that problem instead of far-fetched government re -organization plans, we'd be better off, Then, again, looking at the government's track record over the past decade, maybe we'd be better to leave well enough alone.

He established the steam plant which first provided electrical light to Blyth on the site that is now occupied by Gordon Elliott's house on Dinslcy street. in 1897 he sold 'ihe plant to Elam Livingston who moved the plant to a new site just . north of the C.P.R. tracks.

Ministry of Community and Letters to the editor THE EDITOR: The Ontario Provincial Police warn that with the approach of warns weather, building repair cheats will be active across the province. These gyp -artists prey on the elderly and unsuspecting home owner, overcharging for roof, chimney, siding and drive- way repairs. If you are approached by anyone to contract for repairs, be sure they represent a legitimate and responsible company. Sign nothing and pay nothing until you are sure that you are dealing with an honest, established business- man. Remember, a reputable contractor will not usually de- mand a Targe deposit before starting a job. If yo don't know the contractor -- don't trust him. Check on his reliability. Should you have any doubt, contact your local police department or nearest detach- ment of the Ontario Provincial Police. FRED R. BLUCHER, CHIEF INSPECTOR, DIRECTOR, COMMUNITY SERVICES BRANCH.

BOUNDARIES CHANGED The final report of the Ontario Electoral Boundaries Commission was tabled this week in the Legislature. The Riding of Huron - Bruce has been extended 00 the south side to include the Townships of Hallett and McKillop, to the north the Township of Saugeen has been added, as well as the Towns of Port Elgin and Southampton. Other than the additions mention - cd the riding stays the same, The Electoral Report increases the number of ridings from 117 to 125, six of the eight new ridings will be in the metropolitan Toronto area, and the other two will he in the Ottawa and Kitchener areas. The 'Throne debate is currently in progress and will likely be completed before the budget comes down on April 7th.

First, the range and diversity of programs our institutions offer. Second, the Ontario Government programs that help`students finance their education. Already, `2 out of 5 students at Ontario colleges and, universities are receiving financial aid through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). OSAP assists full-time post -secondary students with government-financed\loans and grants • based on naed, not on academic achieve- ment. Now, starting w�the 1975-76 academic year, there will be two new programs. The Ontario Student\l,oans Plan is de- signed to help students v,)kto are ineligible for aid from OSAP. It will benefit part-time students, some students en led in up- grading programs and those t Ding pro- grams which are shorter, or have ? i ferent entry standards than required by 40 AP regulations. The Ontario Special Bursary Program gives non -repayable. grants to people in serious financial need, particularly those who can improve their financial situation by taking one or more courses. It's designed for part-time students who receive social assistance, are unemployed, or who have a low family income.

Mr. Cummings said he feels he has a major task before hint in the next year as chief of the year-old, eight county organization design- ed to promote the area's tourist attractions across Canada and in the northern United States. The association covers Elgin, Essex, Huron. Kent, Lanlhton, Middlesex, Oxford and Perth counties. The main problem facing the association, Mr. Cummings said, is enlisting financial support frons the eight county councils. The association, he said, will ask each county to contribute live cents per capita annually toward its budget. The province, he said, has pledged an equal amount up to $45,000 to support the associa- tion, In addition, the province will contribute $30,000 annually to be used for administration. "And so far," Mr. Cummings said, "that $30,000 is all we've had to work with." The travel association hopes operators of tourist facilities in the eight -county arca will become members. "We've contacted about 600 operators and we're hoping; a good number of them will see Milk producers get boost Ontario dairy farmers who produce milk for table use are to receive an additional $1.16 per hundredweight for their milk, effective April 1. In announcing the incrcasc in returns to the Province's 8,500 fluid milk producers, the Chair- man of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, George R. McLaughlin, stated that for several years the Board has set the price to its producers on an economic formula. "Recently available informa- tion on production costs," he said, "indicates that milk pro- ducers require an immediate incrcasc in price to offset cost increases and bring milk producers' incomes closer to parity with those of industrial workers. The base value of the formula has been revised to bring it more in line with current cost and income conditions and more nearly reflects the amount of returns required to provide adequate incomes to milk pro- ducers." The $1.16 increase per hundredweight raises the farm price for raw milk in Southern Ontario from $10.85 per hundred• weight to $12.01 per hundred- weight and in Northern Ontario from $11.42 per hundredweight to $12,85 per hundredweight. the advantages of joining us." he said.

Spectatoritis made pcoplc want to "get the full feeling of an event." Spectatorism makes people just want to get the final scores.

Praise for Hospital Board highlights annual meeting Praise and efficiency were the by -words at the Wingham and District Hospital Association ' annual sleeting March 18. Praise for the hospital, the staff and the board of governors came from all the speakers. Retiring Chairman Robert Ritter spoke briefly but enthusiastically on the "interest and dedication" of the board members who "regard it as a form of public service." Ile also commented on the "high quality of, patient care" available at the hospital, adding that "the quality of care is related to the manner in which the board looks 10 the good of its staff." Mr. Ritter acknowledged the work of Mrs. I. l:. Murrey, who retired from her position as executive director in .lune 1974, and the generous help of the -hospital Auxiliary. Words of praise were also offered by Mrs. Robert Ritter in her report from the public relations committee. "We have ;in excellent hospital of which we should be proud," she said. This attitude was echoed in all the reports presented by Ills various committee chairmen and was manifest in the speedy passage of the annual sleeting that lasted Tess than two hours, The brief repurIs Werc charac- terized by a lack of excess Ottawa extends rent subsidy to non-profit, co-op housing Urban Affairs Minister Barney Danson announced March 3 that the Federal Government will share the cost of making rental housing available to low-income people in non-profit and co-opera- tive projects at rents adjusted to their income. These arrangements will be subject to federal -provincial agreements and the Federal Government will pay up to half the operating losses where rents do not cover the costs. The Federal Government already makes similar contributions to the cost of public housing. In 1974 these federal contributions to the Belgrave girl honoured at shower A community shower was held Tuesday, March 18 in the United Church Sunday School room for Miss Kathy Dunbar whose marriage takes place early in April. A short program was presented consisting of musical numbers by Dianne Scott, Julie Gnay, Patti and Kim McDowell. Mrs, Garner Nicholson gave two humorous readings and a sing song led by Dianne Scott, Trudy Taylor and Cindy Campbell concluded the program. Following a short address expressing the good wishes of everyone Kathy opened her gifts assisted by her mother and mother of the groom. Kathy thanked everyone for the gifts and the neighbour ladies for arranging the shower. Lunch was served by the 6th line ladies. Shower held in Belgrave Friends and neighbours of the Belgrave area gathered in Knox United Church basement on Saturday evening for a miscellan- eous shower in honour of Miss Karen Pengelly.

The policy now will be extended to low-income tenants in non-profit and co- operative projects. It will apply to existing as well as new housing. "This policy represents a new and different way of helping those people who are least able to afford suitable housing for themselves, and for their families," Mr. Danson said. "The rate of construction of public housing has been declining in recent years for a number of reasons, including some reluct- ance by municipalities and local residents to accept projects of this kind. We have been testing more flexible ways of providing hous- ing assistance to people who need it, including, on a limited scale, a rent supplement program with the Province of Ontario. By making it possible for low-income people to live in nonprofit and co-operative projects, as an alternative to public housing, we will, not only make more units available but I believe we will achieve a more desirable social integration. This new policy, or course, will not eliminate public housing but it will provide an alternative for some families and individuals who may prefer it." Herald of spring It is true that the snowdrop and crocus announce spring outdoors, but the Easter Lily is the recognized indoor sign of the new season. "And because Easter is early this year, the homeowner can rush spring a little, at least in his mind, and shop for a lily in early March," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, D.M. Sangster. Look for a plant that will be about 18 inches high and have five to six flowers at Easter, suggests Mr. Sangster. To keep the lily fresh, place it in a cool spot - 60 to 62°F. Give it plenty of Tight and keep the soil moist at all times. Too high a temperature or too dry an atmosphere can cause blasted or unopened flowers. Because lily bulbs are useless for forcing again, most people discard them after flowering has ended. However, in the warmer parts of Ontario, the bulbs can sometimes be planted outside after the danger of frost has passed, to bloom again in the fall or even the next year if they arc given winter protection. 01.311MAII, ORDE\SERVICE .

When I was in 11igh school I was a fat slob at (cast 50 pounds overweight. I hated myself but wouldn't do anything about it, stayed out of men's clothing shops because I knew 1 couldn't get into anything halfway decent, On weekends I locked nwself in my room and ate and studied. My grades were great, but niy weight was terrible, I graduated with high honors and was accepted at one of the country's top schools. Within two weeks I met a girl I flipped over, decided then and there to shape up quit eating garbage, drinking beer and snacking between meals. I also went on a strict exercise routine. What needed was an incentive, and the chick was it. Within a month I had lost 18 pounds and asked her out. She gave me a lot of encouragement and helped me lose another 30 pounds within the following five months. Now I look and feel like a different person. So please print this letter for the other Baby Hippos who are too lazy, stupid or unmotivated to do anything about themselves. Nobody has to live in Fat City unless he wants to.

I've been babysitting for this couple for over a year and 1 always had a feeling Mr. Z liked. 'me a little more than was necessary. Last Friday night when he was driving me home he asked if I'd mind if he went by his place of business and picked up some papers. I knew he had to pass my house to get to his office but 1 said, "O.K." After he picked up the papers he asked if I'd like to go for a little ride instead of straight home, 1 said, "You're driving." He pulled into a wooded lane about half a mile away and stopped the car. l'nt ashamed to tell you he kissed hie and I responded. Suddenly I got to thinking about where things could lead and demanded that he take me home. He said, "O.K. I hope you aren't mad." I said I wasn't because it was as much my fault as his. 1 should not have let him park, The next day I confided all this Youth Group hears speaker BY CiIRISTINE CHALMERS On March 19 the Blyth Youth Group hint in the Blyth United Church.

Clinton Hospital hopes to update facilities The Clinton Public Hospital could undergo a rejuvenation and be updating if a three to five year plan being studied by the board of directors is implemented, it was revealed at the annual meeting of the Hospital board last Monday night. Retiring president Bob Camp- bell made the prediction but could give no firm details because plans haven't yet been finalized and all plans must be approved by the ministry of health, which is on a belt tightening course at present. "They are just ideas and dreams now," Mr. Campbell said. "But we don't take too much of a back seat to any of the bigger hospitals, we're always buying new equipment and updating our facilities where possible." Mr. Campbell said that 1974 was a very busy year for the hospital, with a bigger turnover of patients and a decreased' length of stay, "as ordered by the ministry of health." Statistics released by Douglas Coventry, the hospital adminis- trator, showed the number of adults and children admitted to the hospital last year had climbed to 1,856 from 1,770, but the number of patient days had declined 14,422 last year from 18,164 of 1973. The occupancy rate had dropped to 73 percent last year, compared to 83 percent in 1973, Out-patient physiotherapy treatment zoomed to 4,423 last year from 3.520 of 1973, and out-patient visits to emergency climbed slighly to 4,653 from 4,539 of the year before. .rhe number of births at the hospital. however, declined to 88 from 97 of the year before, while the number of X•Rav examina- dons rose slightly to 5,569 last year from 5,121 of the year before. The financial report revealed tha the hospital had only a deficit of 5940 on expenditures of $1,061,878, while the hospital pumped over $717,000 worth of wages and salaries into the local community. The financial chairman, Mrs. Lawson, also revealed that the tentative ward rate for this year was set at 554.25 per day, with an extra $5.30 for semi -private, and $8.30 for private. The meeting was also told that the hospital was now doing all its own laundry, resulting in a saving of $1,000 per month, and the new hospital incinerator is now opera- ting very well, Mr. Campbell told the meeting that the hospital board was one of the few public boards left who work for nothing. Mrs. Ted Davies, reporting for the Hospital Auxiliary, said that the auxiliary had a balance at the year end of 54,415 and a membership of 1,018 of which 20 regularly attended meetings. She said that last year's Penny Sale receipts of $1,219 was the largest ever, and the Auxiliary had given on R.N. bursary 0 n two R.N.A. bursaries in 1974.

With the thence, "Elf? What did you say?", delegates examin- ed their personal abilities to Conscientious farmers have nothing to fear "Farmers who are only carry- ing out normal farm procedures have nothing to fear from officials of the Ministry of the Environ- nient', said Ontario Environment Minister Bill Newman recently. Recently, some farmers have expressed concern over their practice of spreading manure over fields and the possible odor, 'Environment Ontario offi• cials point out that this concern is essentially needless worry. Normal manure spreading and subsequent cultivation is both Applying liquid manure on corn "There's no question that on a large number of farms, liquid manure could fill the fertility requirements of corn, for at least some of the acres in crop production, without additional commercial fertilizer," says Pro- fessor T.H. Lane, of the Ontario Agricultural College's Depart- ment of Land Resource Science. He points out that, in fact, some Ontario farmers have produced large acreages of corn, using their manure resource without any commercial fertilizer, over the past four to seven years with no reduction in yield. But to make best use of their manure, farmers need to plan its application carefully. With a limited number of days available for land preparation, planting and manure application, naturally the first priorities will be land preparation and planting. With the limitations of spring weather conditions, it's often difficult to spread the manure before prepar- ation starts. Farmers using liquid manure systems have a degree of flexibility to consider; the manure can be side -dressed to the corn crop after planting, up to the time that corn is at (east a foot high. Research at Guelph has shown that liquid manure can be side -dressed either on the soil surface between the rows or inject below the surface between the rows, with the same effectiveness. The key complaint required in manure for corn production is nitrogen. Sufficient nitrogen must be available to the crop, especially if manure is to be used as the only source of fertilizer nutrients. Professor Lane recommends that farmers make use of the manure analysis service provided by the Land Resource Science Department to establish the fertilizing quality of the manure being used for crop purposes, and to learn at what rates manure should be applied, either in combination with commercial fertilizers or by itself. With the higher dollar values for nitrogen, phosphorus aid potash in today's markets, farmers must make the best use of this important by-product. necessary and beneficial for farm operation. Area residents are asked to show consideration towards this practice. However, a small percentage of farriers do not follow normal farm procedure and this could lead to a valid complaint by a neighboring resident. Ministry officials will investigate and advise the farmer to correct the situation. In most instances the farmer will follow the advice of the official and the situation is quickly remedied. For farmers who refuse to accept the advice of the official, an independent body called the Farm Pollution Advisory Commit• tee will be called in, The committee of four farmers -- Otto Crone and Harold Eubank of Hagersville, Donald Switzer of Smithville and John K. Peart of Caledonia •• was appointed jointly by the Ontario Ministries of Environment and Agriculture and Food in March. 1973 to provide an objective assessment of farm environmental situations. These members will visit the site and make recommendations. if the committee's recommend- ations are not followed the Ministry of the Environment has no alternative but to begin legal action. During this action the farmer still has right to appeal his case to the regional director or the Environmental Hearing Board, If the farmer in question does not appeal or remedy the situation the Ministry may initiate court action under the Environ- mental Protection Act. Ministry officials report that few farmers are willing to carry their case further than the Farm Pollution Advisory Committee. "If their peers find them at fault the farmer is usually more than willing to correct the situation", said a Ministry offi all e!J I hake-a,good supply of\ Funk's G'=Hybrid seed on hand.

As a matter of fact, there hasn't even been much of a line -tip of old harridans lately, so I guess I'll have to settle for those two old adages. One oI' them goes thus: "'There's no foul Iikc an old fool." As adages go, it fills the bill. It is short, blunt, and, il'you happen to be an old fool, brutal. I don't Iikc that one much. The other one says: "'There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle." This is also short and to the point. It is usually delivered with a \oink and a leer by some old fool of either sex, speaking of which, that is what it usually refers to. I like that one better than the first, though 1 am not given to leering or winking. Not for years. Anyway, to get to the heart of the matter, I've taken up cross-country skiing and those ancient adages ride with me, one on each ski. They are heavy. as well as old. When I state that I have taken up cross-country skiing, I must confess that it is not a reciprocal deal. I have taken it up only once, and it has taken me down more times than I care to contemplate. But that's beside the point. Cross-country skiing is not for everybody, though you'd never. know it on a Sunday afternoon. No, it's really' a sport for us romantics, the few of us left who arc loners, who have a fierce, overwhelming urge to pit our muscles and• will against a fierce and alien Nature. Even before 1 strapped on the skis, I knew 1 would love it. Pictures rolled through nay mind like a film, with me in the major role. Gliding, swift and silent, along a lonely winter trail. Slipping through .the stilly woods like a wraith. Stopping on a peak for a belt of brandy and a munch of bread and cheese, before plunging, eager -eyed, into the terrible, hurtling danger below. It's a tough world for us romantics. For some reason, the picture seldom lives up to the advance notices. I didn't ,exactly glide, not at first. I sort of shtif'lled, rather like an old man with a double case of gout. Nor was the trail really lonely. Not if you count dogs, little children, and old ladies who came up from behind, shouting, "Track!" and went by me as though I were standing still. Which I \vas, a ;good deal of the time.

It's hard to keep them stilly', when every time you get anywhere hear a tree, everyone in sight shouts, "Timber -r -r -r!" I have taken up other spurts, like golf and curling, and have learned that unless he is extremely vigilant, the beginner niav develop some bad habits which arc hard to shake. I was determined that this would not happen with skiing. On my very first time out. I thought \vas developing a bad habit. My left ski scented to want to veer to the left, and my right ski to the right. This seems logical enough, but it was not conducive to skimming along the trail, especially when the skis took turns falling of the boots. Quickly. I checked the harness. Sure enough, the chap from whom I'd bought Ole outfit had put it on cockeyed. My Iocs fitted into it, but my heels didn't even touch the skis. They were dragging in the snow. Right there, I decided to Raise Cain with the installer. Fortunately, a li'ic11(1 caste 'along. When he noticed that my skis seemed to want to go in opposite directions, he suggested that I had them on the \wrong feet. This was patiently ridiculous. A ski is a ski and a foot is a foot, but he persevered. Sure enough, the ski I'd had on my right foot was marked with a large L, for Left, and vice versa. Once that bacl habit was • resolved, I was skimming along Iikc a bird. Dodo? I had a couple of other bad habits, but I solved them swiftly. One was jabbing myski pole into my ski instead oI' into the snow. This tended to throw me off any stride, not to mentio►i off my feet. I put a stop to this by wrapping the sharp tips of the pules in wads of foam rubber. They're not much good in snow, but it's a lot easier on the skis. Another was a habit of making the sign of the cross with my skis. This scented to firing about a Precipitation, or downfall. solved this by cutting off my skis right in front of my boots. I hardly ever get them crossed any more. Some people have trouble getting up hills. I don't. I use the 1)oppclgangcr method (hands and knees). All in all, it's a tine, bracing spurt. Hcl'c and now, in public print, 1 am ready to take on anybody over a 50 -meter course. Anyone under four or over 80, There are only a couple of things I don't like about i1. Onc is my wife. When I get 200 yards behind her, she stops and waits for sie. When I get to where she is, on my last breath, she's had a fivc•minutc rest, and lakes off. Another thing, more embarr- assing than otherwise, occurs when I get off the trail and hick behind a tree, trying to get the blood out of my eves and my heart 001 of my ears. A couple of young punks sail by, and I overhear, ".Ice", it used to be stilly in these woods, but nowadays there Seem to be great, noisy gusts of wind.- Little do they know it's only old Smiler Irving to get his breath back. I've come to a decision. Either I quit smoking or I quit skiing. Anybody interested in a. pair of almost brand-new cross-country skis? • THE I1LYtult STANDARD,M'ARCti 26;11975!

Behind the scenes Co-operation - a missing Zink BY KEITH ROULSTON Where would this country be today if it hadn't been for the spirit of co-operation of our early pioneers? Well the chances arc that there wouldn't have been a country at all because few of the pioneers would have survived in the harsh climate of Canada if they hadn't all stuck together and helped each other out. If that spirit of co-operation hadn't been present we wouldn't have half of the public facilities we have today. It was community co-operation that built the roads. It was community co-operation that built the schools. 1t was community co- operation that built the churches. It was community co-operation that built the town halls. In short this country, and particularly the small towns were built on the spirit of co-operation in the community long before we ever had millionaire enterpre- neurs come along to make money providing services and long before we evern had bureaucrats supported by heavy tax bills. But community co-operation seems to be as much apart of the past in Canada as the horse and buggy. When was the last time you heard about a group of volunteers doing something in your community? Such instances arc so few and farm between these days that it is real human -interest news when such a project is undertaken, Today, if we want something, we don't think about all pitching in to get it, we think of demanding the government to provide it (and then of course we complain about the high taxes). In the days of statuatory labour, everybody pitched in to keep the roads in good shape. Today, we can't even get people to keep the walks shovelled in front of their , own homes but instead demand that the local council provide the sidewalk cleaning service. In the old days, we built our own schools and collectively paid for a teacher. Today we pay millions of builders to construct schools, pay fabulous salaries to administrators to administrate them, hefty rewards to trustees who used to work for nothing and pay good salaries to teachers and what do we find? The students out today are Tess likely to be able to do simple things like read and write and simple math than those Ontario Hydro has more than 54,000 miles of distribution line to serve its almmost 7000,000 rural customers. The network provides electricity to about 95 per cent of the province's farms, including many in remote northern areas. kids in the one -room school. They're whites though when it comes to playing with expensive gadgets like metal lathes and computers, But let's not get onto that subject. What I'm really getting at is that the thing that made life in the country so special is quickly disappearing. We are now just city people living in the country but without the high incomes and the big city facilities. The only thing we have the city people don't have is clean air. 1t used to be that one could live in the country very inexpensively, but not anymore. Taxes arc getting ridiculous because every- one wants the government to pay for their pct project, This, combined with the greed 01' the ordinary man, the feeling that he should be making 'more money than anyone else, is leading this country in a direction I, for one, find frightening. 1 wish this country could make up its mind whether it's going to be capitalist or socialist. Right now we seem to be in the middle and getting the worst of both systems. I'd prefer to go back to the capitalist system and make it work. We tend to think of capitalism as a bunch of big operators on Bay Street manipulating the rest of us. Unfortunately, there's a lot of truth in that. But I still think we ordinary people can make the system work by working together. Remember when the co-operative movement was new and exciting: when all sorts of co-operative ventures such as cheese factories, creameries and feed stores were being set up. The credit union system was also a form of co-operative action. The co-operative movement is still strong, of course, but it seems to have stagnated. We just don't see many new co-operatives being formed though the ones that have been around for several years seem to be getting stronger. The co-operative movement, i still think, can be the answer to many of the problems we have in small towns. By taking co-opera- tive action we can get many of the things we don't have in our towns today. Fewer and fewer indivi- duals are willing to put up the capital to go into business for .. themselves. By forming co-opera- tive we can all give a little of the needed capital and hire someone to run the business we need. We could use co-operative action to provide needed housing, to build small factories to process locally - produced goods and provide employment; to provide shopping facilities we don't have but feel we need. This combined with some community action to provide recreational facilities etc. instead asking the local council for everything, could put us hack on the right path in our small towns giving us at the sank time a richer life style and lower tax burden. We need to rethink and re -organize. If we do, perhaps we can be the leaders oI' a new movement away from socialism rather than being at the tag end of 0 movement toward It.
