Editorial Church Ann Landers Farm Page 4 Page 7 Page 9 Page 13 Beef farmers have more complaints than suggestions at Londesboro meeting By their own admission, times are tough for Huron county's 700 beef producers these days, but despite low prices and high costs only about 40 producers turned out in Londesboro last Wednesday to discuss industry problems, The Londesboro meeting of beef producers was called by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture to see if the producers themselves could come up with any solutions to their problems. Federation, President Doug Fortune of Wingham said he was disappointed at the turnout in this, Ontario's second largest beef producing county. "This is a working meeting to find answers," he said. He noted that current top prices for finished steers have dropped to about $38 per hundredweight from a high of $65 more than a year ago. But questions were more plentiful than answers at the meeting, Those present had plenty of complaints but few answers. The biggest suggestion came from Alan Walper of RR 3, Parkhill who proposed a marketing board for beef to "take the ' humps out of this business." He proposed a modest supply management program at the federal level without quotas. "If we've got low prices and can't find a solution I'm suggesting it's about time we looked at a marketing board," he said. Bill Pullen of RR 2,. Blyth said a marketing board is overdue. "It's about time we started working together and not trying to make money at the other guy's expense," he said, The proposal was approved in a close vote, Three other points also won 'the agreement of the meeting, •The federal beef stabilization price program should be modified so farmers can receive assistance every three months when prices fall below 90 per cent of the average price over the past five years of $45 CWT. At present, farmers are reimbursed at one year intervals. •Grants should be sought from the federal and provincial governments to improve public relations to tell consumers about the problems facing, the beef producer. •Importation of beef from the United Area native interested in summer theatre if funds can be raised Blyth may be the home of a summer theatre by this summer. . A former area -resident James G. Roy, now a Toronto-based writer and theatre director was in Blyth on the holiday weekend to tour the Memorial Hall theatre and talk to local people. He was happy with what he saw and heard. He and his actress wife Ann fell in love with the second floor theatre in Memorial Hall. They also met with Recreation Committee Chairman George Hubbard who solidly approved the idea of rental of the theatre for a summer theatre when Memorial Hall is seldom used. The big roadblock, as Mr. Roy went back to Toronto, was to raise enough funds to get through the summer months. Armed with the support of the Recreation Cotiimittee he hopes to be able to raise the funds. needed in the Toronto area, including some government grants. If that rather large obstacle can be hurdled, Mr. Roy hopes to come to Blyth in June with a staff of about 15 to begin rehearsals of two plays, Opening night for the summer theatre would be prior to the July 1 holiday and the venture would run until after Civic Holiday weekend. In succeeding summers this season could be lengthened, Mr. Roy said, but the first season will in all probability be a money-losing one and the shorter season will keep the loss as small as possible. Mr. Roy, who gained some of his public school education in Blyth, said he wants the theatre to be a community \enture. He also like to sec workshops for local theatre people to help gain experience to improve their own productions. In the meantime, however, he faces the big problem of raising the approximately $20,000 needed to get the first season off the ground. Anyone wishing to give moral plans to involve local amateur actors and or financial support can contact Mr. Roy by theatre people in some of the productions. writing to him at 61 Charles St. East, Apt. Following the season, he said, he would 106, Toronto, Ontario, M4Y 1R9. Wintry weather contributes to heavy accident toll in past week The wintery weather of the past week contributed to a number of accidents involving local people which were investigated by the Wingham Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police last week. On Monday, March 24, Robert W. Reid of RR 1, Kenabeck was involved in a single car accident just north of town when his vehicle went off the road on the east side of Highway 4, hit a snow bank and rolled over onto its side. There were no injuries and damages totalled $100. The same day Wayne Coultes of RR 5, Wingham and Brian G. Johnston of Blyth were involved in a collision on Highway 4 near County Road 16 Morris township. Mr. Johnston and a passenger in the car, Roy W. Riley of Blyth were injured, Damages to the vehicles totalled $1500. And Saturday, Edward Watson of Blyth and Larry Badley of RR 2, Blyth were involved in an accident at Concession 8 of Morris at sideroad 10-11. Injured in the accident was Rhonda Badley. Damages to the vehicles totalled $1150. Oti Sunday, Janet R Brisbane and Louis A. Sanders, both of London were involved in a collision on Highway 4, south of County Road. 16 in East Wawanosh, Damages were estimated at $650. 1 States should be controlled by a l0 -to -1 formula based on the relative total populations of Canada and the U.S. Another proposal, that supermarkets and other chain food stores have gross profits restricted to "reasonable" levels on beef products. failed for lack of support. The beef producers of overwhelming approved the shortening of the time period for assistance under the stabilization plan. Wingham-area farmer George Under- wood said current federal importation restrictions on beef from the United States need to be modified. Speaking as chairman of a farmer study group, he said that 10 per cent of the total annual United States beef production "nearly equals our total production in Canada, "With that situation," he said, "It doesn't take many of their cattle to drop our prices." Federal regulations which permit imports from the U.S. to remain at 100 per cent of the level of total imports from that country averaged over the past live years arc inadequate, he said, He suggested a ratio be established under which one beef cow could be imported from the United States for every 10 exported from Canada to its more' populous neighbor. The new formula, he said would maintain a more equitable balance based on populations of 22 million and 220 million. Smile . One thing leads to another, and thousands of years after the invention of the wheel somebody thought of the wheel 'tax. Dangers of growth outlined to Colborne Colborne township residents were warned of the dangers of urban sprawl by Huron County Planning Director Gary Davidson at a meeting in Carlow Thursday night. Mr. Davidson explained that intially growth can provide additional revenue through taxes, as in the cottage area of nearby Ashfield township. But when the new homeowners begin to demand greater services such as sewerage facilities, snowplowing, street lighting, etc. costs can soar far beyond what can be recovered by taxes, he said. Urban sprawl, he explained can also cause dangers. As housing increases along highways, school bus and pedestrian accidents can increase and as the accidents increase, the speed limit must be lowered. "As soon as you have children wanting to cross the road to see their friends you have problems," he said. The meeting was one of a number of public workshops that will be held in the township as it moves toward development of an official plan for the township. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 2, 1975.

The bill will require companies, municipalities and government ministries or agencies to prepare such an assessment before projects arc approved, and the Environment Ministry will then either approve the project, suggest changes or refer the matter to an environmental board for public hearings. This legisla- tion will initially apply only to government projects, but after "a couple of hearings" will apply to municipalities and private com- panies. The Minister indicated that it is not the intention at this time to pay expenses for those appearing before the board, and told the House that the Govern- ment, not the board, must have the final decision on which projects go ahead and what pollution control measures are required. This legislation will disband the eight -member environmental hearing board, and substitute a new environ- mental hearing board, and substitute a new environmental assessment board with at least five members appointed by the government. Under the new law, the Ministry can force installation of the right anti -pollution measures before a project is allowed, and a major project, coming within the scope of the new legislation, is described as any plant "that has an effluent discharge, either in air or water, any company that has dangerous emissions." William A. Stewart, the Minister of Agriculture and Food, announced this week that the Milk Commis- sion of Ontario will hold a public inquiry into certain aspects of the milk' industry, in view of the several price increases in recent months. The Minister indicated that consumers in Ontario, as well as those individuals connected with the milk industry, have a right to know how certain elements in the milk chain, from the cost of producing, processing and marketing fluid milk products, trade practices, price spreads, management policies and methods of financing, contribute to the final price paid for a quart of milk. Mr. Stewart said the Milk Commission has upheld the recent price increases to the producer, but is concerned about what happens to milk prices once the milk has left the farm. The public inquiry will begin as soon as the necessary arrange- ments can be made. The Legislature has recessed for the Easter break and we shall be reconvening on April 7th, when. the Government is to bring down its Budget. I shall be reporting on the measures pro- posed in this Budget, and subsequent debates in the weeks ahead. Keep cords out of reach Never leave appliances so that the cord is within reach of children, advises the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. Children are continually investi- gating this great new world around them, not realizing the potential dangers. They pull on the cords, and down tumbles an iron or toaster or whatever is on the other end. Protect your family from unnecessary hazards. Keep cords out of reach of little exploring fingers! Serious burns have also been caused by putting extension cords in their mouths. When not in use, unplug all cords. the COOP spring festival 61 THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 2, 1975. PG. 3.

This bit of dogeral poetry serves as a gentle reminder to village council that tree planting season is almost here and still no action has been taken to obtain trees for planting in the village. For several years now crews have been busy cutting down the giant maples that have lined the streets of the village of a century, Many streets are now so bare they look like city subdivisions. No trees have been replanted and the village looks a little naked. Now in these days of global disaster, the lack of trees lining the strees of one small village may seem trivial, but that lack of trees can do a good deal to effect the environment of the people in our town. Council realized this last year when it agreed that action should be taken to make sure trees were replanted to replace those cut down. Unfortunately planting season has rolled around again and we haven't heard of anything more. It's no big deal, just a reminder of a trivial little item that may have slipped the minds of council while they grappled with larger issues like raising taxes, However, if councillors don't take some action soon, we may be forced to more heavy-handed threats; we may just subject them to a fact worse than death like some more poetry. No winners, only losers Americans have the happy knack of never being able to sec defeat. Even in defeat they make it a victory. So it was with the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam. President Nixon made the Paris Peace Agreement look like a victory for the U.S. and most Americans happily went along with the assessment. Now, however, the fact that it was a defeat for the Americans has become evident. South Vietnam is floundering before the onslaught of North Vietnamese forces. The North Vietnamese have broken the "peace" agreement time and time again, yet the Americans, unwilling to get involved in the war again took no action. The South Vietnamese are being defeated, not so much by the Communists, but by their own corruption. Despite millions of dollars in American aid, the South as been constantly on the defensive. Now, morale is low and the country in panic. Things can only get worse. The real losers are the millions of Vietnamese people caught between two armies and two competing idiologies. Most likely they don't even understand what the fighting is all about. Many have never known peace. Which side is right? It's easier to say which side is wrong. The South Vietnamese government has been guilty of inexcusable corruption. The North Vietnamese, if they take over the government, will likely carry out a purge of non -communists such as they did in North Vietnamese which will mean the deaths of thousands, No, there arc no "good guys" in Vietnam except for the handful of people who have been trying to do what they could to overcome the effects of the war. The victims arc many and we can only hope for them that soon the horror show will be over. Those were the days 5 years ago APRIL 1, 1970 It was announced at a regular meeting of the Lions Club that a new loud speaker system has been installed at the Blyth arena at a cost of the Lions Club of $142.50. Prompt action by the Blyth Fire Department resulted in saving 28 sows and 45 little pigs last Sunday morning when fire destroyed a portion of a barn on the East Wawanosh Township farm of Ronald Snell (the former Walter Cook farm). Damage has been estimated at $5,000. Blyth Legion Squirts made it a three -game sweep of a tourna- ment held in Mildmay over the weekend and returned home with a beautiful trophy as their reward. The East Wawanosh township Federation of Agriculture held its annual meeting in Belgravc and elected Peter Chandler, RR 3, Wingham as president. Other officers were: Eldon Cook, RR 1, Belgravc as vice-president; Simon Hallahan, RR 3, Blyth as secretary -treasurer; Robert Charter, RR 3, Blyth, Peter DeGroot, RR 3, Blyth, Ross Taylor and Mason Robinson, RR 1, Belgravc, Robert Gordon, RR 5, Wingham, Jack Taylor, RR 1, Belgrave and Adrian Vos, Blyth as directors. 10 years ago APRIL 7, 1965 Cheese making has begun again on a regular basis at the Blyth U.D.P.C. Mr. Ivan Cook, who has just completed a three-month course at Guelph, will return as cheese maker. After some discussion on planting trees, Blyth village council passed a motion asking that any resident wanting to have a tree planted on the boulevard in front of his home contract councillors Manning or Gibbons. Les Schultz, who resided in the village of Dungannon for 41 years had given up the blacksmith trade after 40 years. He learned his trade in Auburn under Albert Naeglc and in Blyth from Earl Dexter. About 20 members of the Westfield choir and friends met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Cook on the evening of March 31 to pay tribute to Mr. Alfred Cook who is retiring as choir leader after many years of faithful service. 20 years ago APRIL 6, 1955 Blyth Firc Brigade responded to a call Monday afternoon from Londesboro when a half -ton truck was on fire. The brigade made the trip in record time but the fire was already out with little damage to the truck. Not so lucky, however, was Fire Chief Robert Chalmers' car. Bob followed the fire' engine to Londesboro. When the brigade came to a halt as did Fire Chief Chalmers. Driver of the truck was Garfield Doherty, who immedi- ately backed the truck to the point of contact with the fire. in doing so he rammed the front end of the Chief Chalmers car, which was badly damaged. No damage was done to the fire truck. The success of the Third Annual Western Ontario Trade Fair appears a certainty according to A. H. Wilford, Trade Fair Organizer and promoter. The Fain will be held at the Blyth Community Centre grounds on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day, May 17, 18, 19. According to Mr. Wilford's files, the entry list of exhibitors is now approaching 200. A Londesboro team is to compete in the Young Canada tournament in Goderich. Coach and manager of the team is Bill Cowan and the team is sponsored by the Londesboro Athletic Association. Members are; John Radford, goal; Bill Bromley, Bill Shaddick, Harry Baakcr and Egbert Baaker, defence; Keith Allen, Frank Murch, Harvey Carter, Hank Westerhout, Charlie Crawford, John Hoggart, Gordon Hoggart, Joe Babcock, John Taras and Frank Taras, forwards. 30 years ago APRIL 11, 1945 Announcement was made by C. D. Graham, director of the Agriculture Representatives Branch, Ontario Department of Agriculture of the resignation of J, Bruce Matheson from the position of Agricultural represen- tative for Huron County. Mr. Matheson took over the Agricul- tural Representative's office in Clinton on April 1. 1944 after two years as Assistant Agricultural Representative for Oxford County. "We complained to a lady visitor Wednesday about the scarcity of news this week and she promptly carne up with a suggestion that we write a nice breezy editorial about the beauti- ful weather.

Start seedlings indoors now The time to stop dreaming about homegrown flowers and vegetables has arrived. You can grow them successfully if you start seedlings indoors now. "To ensure a good stand of seedlings two to three weeks after sowing, always use new seed," advises Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticultur- ist D.M. Sangster, "Old seed often germinates poorly." Avoid disease and insect pests by planting seeds in a soilless mixture of peat moss, vermiculite or perlite. However, if these are not available, pasteurize the soil; spread it in a two-inch layer on a shallow pan, and put a small potato • two to three inches long - on top. Place the pan in the oven and set the temperature at 375°F. When the potato is cooked, the soil is pasteurized. After the seeds are planted, keep the soil moist and at 70° to 75°F. To retain moisture and prevent the soil from drying out, cover the seed flat with plastic until germination has ended. Finally, seed in rows and label seed flats for easy identification.

Ontario Hydro and decentralizing the government, however, are Liberal leader Robert Nixon gave some indication of at lust a few of refreshing after the efforts of the present government to make Ontario Hydro a kingdom unto itself and to concentrate all decision making in his thoughts last week in Toronto. Mr. Nixon indicated he would reduce the size of his cabinet if he Toronto. were elected as premier.

In addition, it is easier to keep track of the growth of government in a scale down its operations to provide as low-cost, service as it can. He indicated he'd like to see the Hydro head office shifted out of Toronto smaller centre than in a huge city like Toronto, In a small city when a also, new office building goes up, everyone knows who is going to occupy it.

Blyth 2 games up The 13Iyth Runners defeated the Atwood Axemen twice on Sunday night to take a two game lead in the Local Boy's Hockey Final. The first game was a wide open offensive battle with the Blyth boys winning by the score of 32 to 12. The teams changed to a more defensive style of play in the second game 'which Blyth won 6 to 2. Don "Golden Jct" Stewart and Wayne "Shotgun" McDougall lead Blyth offensively. Cameron Manning also aided Blyth's attack with his zinging slapshot. Blyth controlled the play due mainly to some good for -checking by Barry "Poke -check" Young and Murray "Road Runner" Manning. Kevin "Highstick" Tasker played a strong game along the blue line and Fred German stymied several Atwood. rushers. Dale "Screen" Tasker was outstanding in the nets for Blyth. Atwood tried some trickery late in the game in an attempt t0 confuse the Blyth players. John Roc went into the nets smoking a cigar in an attempt to hide the goal from the Blyth sharp shooters. Willie "Mad Dog" Dougherty was selected as the First Star on a past -game interview "Mad Dog" said that he had expected a rough tough series and therefore had removed the safety tips from the back of his skates. Dale "Punch" McInnes coached Blyth. The third game of the best 3 out of 5 series will be played next Sunday in Monkton: Baintoneers presented with trophy Blyth Baintoneers went to Scaforth again last Wednesday night, March 26 to play a game against the Scaforth Junior Farmers for the "A" division of the Scaforth Broomball League and defeated them 1-0, with Joyce Carter scoring the winning goal. They were given a trophy for their excellent playing, received by Joyce Carter their captain. Sue Kolkman and Annette Carter took turns in net and did a good job. Blyth Baintoneers also have a tournament coming up this weekend April 5 in Keady. Their first game is against Desboro at 9:00 a.m. The team is looking for your support( After losing their first league game and only tieing their second, the 8th liners pulled together and won their first tournament in St. Clements by bringing home the "Gold Medals" from the Western Ontario Winter Games sponsored by the Waterloo Regional Sports Committee, The 8th Liners then partici- pated unsuccessfully ih Cheslcy, Tecswater, Mt. Forrest and Elora tournaments before winning the Clinton Winter Carnival Trophy for a third time. On the long road to victory in the annual St. Clements Broomball Tournament the 8th Liners had to defeat five of the best teams in Western Ontario Broomball to bring home the championship trophy along with a set of trophy mugs and a cash prize. In the Mildmay Tournament the 8th Liners were put out losing their first game in overtime, But the following week they bounced back to win the first annual Seaforth Broomball Tournament receiving the championship trophy and individual trophies for their efforts. Action kept thick and heavy for the 8th Liners in the Blyth tournament where they were kept from winning the home trophy, in a close overtime game, by the strong Kilsyth team who went on to win the tournament. The 8th Liners then closed their broomball season in the past week by winning the Blyth Broomball League Trophy of a seventh consecutive year and becoming W.O.B.A. champs for a second time. The last time waa in 1973 and they now have the distinction of being the first team to hold the honor of being Western Ontario Broomball Champs a second time. The 8th Liners would like to take this opportunity to thank their sponsor for the knew sweaters and equipment. Also they would like to thank their fans for their avid support and faithfulness: Thankyou all till next year. THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 2, 1975. PG. 5.

It is caused by one of three things, but I haven't time to see a doctor because 1 have t0 write my column. So don't be surprised if it breaks off in the middle. It's a sharp, biting pain in the chest. But don't worry, gentle reader. it only hurts when I cough, laugh, blow my nose or take a deep breath. Possibly it's a heart attack, which seems to be the current fad among my peers these days, 1 hope it's not, because 1 dislike chasing after popular trends. On the other hand, it may be an attack of pleurisy. 1 have a cough like a lion, and am spewing oysters into tissues, toilet paper and the snow, depending on when the fit strikes me, A third possibility is that I twisted a muscle in my chest yesterday when 1 fell on a ski slope and decided to plow the last 50 yards with my nose, winding up in controtion of limbs that would have made Houdini green with envy. Personally, I subscribe to the third theory, mainly because it makes me seem like a clean -living chap, and secondly because I don't like the second of the other two. Each is a bit fraught. At any rate, this ominous - or silly • little pain OUCH! (1 just sneezed) has made me give serious thought to a topic that is all the rage these days • corporal punishment in our schools. It's almost as popular as capital punishment for criminals, and is even more widely discussed, for, while criminals make up a comparatively small segment of our society, rotten kids are always there in great numbers. Usually, the business of beat- ing kids is seen in black and white, On the one hand, you have the fundamentalists, who go back to the Bible with that old chestnut, "Spare the rod and spoil the child," These people forget that several of the disciples were fishermen, and that what this particular one meant was, "If you don't let the kid use your spare rod once in a while, he'll grow up to be a lousy angler." On the other side are the other crazies: psychologists, who think a kid who is thumped will be warped for life; mothers who read articles by psychologists; and former child -beaters who are now school principals. And in between, as usual are all the confused, decent and sensible people like you and me and the Moderator of the United Church of Canada, who thinks the strap should be brought back. Both the extreme camps, of course, are full of crap. in the first group, we have people who were whipped unmercifully when they were kids, and by some weird type of logic, now claim it was good for them. They can hardly wait for a chance to get their own back. And in the second group are all the other people who were v. hipped unmercifully when they were kids and are trying to prove that that is what made them queer ever since, 1 despise both groups, and will stick with the great mass in the middle, Most of us were whipped, at one time or another, but not unmercifully, and we deserved every stroke of the hairbrush, skelp of the yardstick, and swish of the willow -switch. It didn't warp us, psychologi- cally or physically. it taught us something about the society we would be living in • that there are certain limits, and if you transgress them, you take your licks. My mother used to work over Raising cain my kid brother and me about once a week, whether we needed it or not. She used a fly -swatter, which has a sting like a scorpion, or a yardstick, if we got• under the bed, and the fly -swatter wouldn't reach. It did us no harm whatever, and probably saved her sanity. The same brother and I were in the sante class in school, and once a week our teacher, Old Mary Walker, would give us a good strapping, along with a buddy, G.G. Relyea. We thought the world of her, The strappings stung, but once in while, we'd jerk back our hand and she'd hit herself a good crack on the thigh, which doubled the number on each hand but raised our status in the class. There are only two reasons for a teacher to use a strap: 1) he or she is a poor teacher, and 2) to add a little drama to the monotony of the classroom. A word to the bleeding hearts. There arc a lot more insidious ways to warp a child's personality than physical punishment. The read sadists of the classroom, and they are few, thank goodness, are those who use personal harass- ment, hectoring and sarcasm, These can do far more permanent damage than a good thump. Naturally, niy sympathies in this affair are with the teacher. I have no time for bully. The teacher with strength of character has few discipline problems. But what about the sensitive young lady teacher who asks a lout to do something, and he says: "Screw you."? So the punk gets a "Suspen- sion" for a few days (translation: holiday.) If 1 had the say, I'd turn him out of school for a year, and let his parents put up with him. It would serve both parties right. Blue Jeans 4-H club holds fourth meeting BY JAYNE WATSON The fourth of the Blue Jeans 41-I club meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Carter on Wednes- day, March 26th at 8:00 p.m. It was opened with the 4-H Pledge and then the roll call.

DERWYN DOCKEN, WALTON The following story comes from the Moderator of the United Church of Canada, Dr, Wilbur Howard. "Once upon a time there was a man with a brown paper parcel. "No one, not even his closest friends could tell you when he first began to carry the brown paper parcel. His grandmother, who went to the Pentecostal Church, talked in tongues and gave to missions, insisted that shortly alter he was born, his parents had noticed a brown paper parcel in his crib. Of course, nobody really believed this but it was always good for a chuckle, But still, nobody could remember when he didn't carry a brown paper parcel about wherever he went. "Some of his high school friends thought that they could recall an incident, It was at a high school football game. The coach sent him in to quarterback, 1 -Ie threw a sweater over something and trotted, on the field. Just before the first play he looked over toward the sidelines and shouted, "Nobody touch my brown paper parcel", "He carried the brown paper parcel all through university. He used to tuck it away in a draw in the chemistry lab, He even had it with hint when he got his degree at graduation ceremonies. "A s an up-and-coming, competitive young executive, he was never caught very far away from his brown paper parcel. He would take it tot work with him in a brief case. He would take it with him to the B executive washroom. It went with him to the little theatre and could be seen under his scat at hockey games. "The day he got married the best man insisted that he could not h O Id keep it with him during the wedding ceremony, But he did. He had it concealed in the Bride's bouquet, "His wife and later his three children grew accustomed to living with a head of the house with a brown paper parcel. There was an unwritten rule in the house • nobody must touch dad's brown paper parcel. "Once he had a close call. He had to go on a business trip to the United states, At the border, the customs man asked him, "What's in the brown paper parcel?" He replied, "Oh, just some personal things." The customs man persisted, "Open it up," He just looked the customs than straight in the eye and said, "I notice that you too have a brown paper parcel, hidden under the counter. Now you show rate what's in your parcel and I'll show you what's in mine," The customs ratan, flustered and frightened, stamped the parcel and said, "Have a good trip," "On another.occasion he took the brown paper parcel to church with him. The minister preached on the text, "Come unto me all ye who labour and have brown paper parcels," He left the church quickly after the benediction and left the brown paper parcel on the seat. Free at last! He had barely gone half a block, when an usher overtook him and said, "Sir, you left this brown paper parcel in the church." "But," he replied, "The sermon said we were to cast aside our burdens. I'm•ready to get rid of that parcel," The usher pushed the parcel into his arms and said, "You must take it with you, the, church is no place for brown' paper parcels." "They say that when he reached the ripe old age of 91, he was taken to the hospital with a temporary terminal illness. The nurses weighed him, X-rayed him, checked on his health insurance. They asked him for his social security number but he couldn't remember it. So they put him in a hospital gown without any social security. "All the while he clutched his brown paper parcel. He told the nurses he didn't want it but somehow he couldn't seem to let go. "Well that is the story of the man with the brown paper parcel. Call it parable, fable, begent, or allegory or what you please, But a lot of people go through life with brown paper parcels." Do you still have your brown paper parcel? Be bold, venture out into life with Christ and throw away those brown paper parcels! THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 2, 1975. PG. 7. Church Conference to be held The Biennial Conference of the Presbyterian Church in Canada is to be held in Knox Church, St. Catharines April 25 to April 27 with Miss Margaret Kennedy as speaker. The theme is to be, „Rejoice with a ;real and glorious joy". Miss Margaret Kennedy, an outstanding missionary. is brought home for the Church's Centennial year, from her work in the 13hi1 Field in North India. Miss Kennedy is assigned a Centennial visitor to the London Synod from April 22 to May 5. She will speak in Arwood Presbyterian Church, May 4at8p.m. Miss Agnes Hislop who has spent 25 years in the Bhil area in North India will be in the Stratford Presbytery and the Huron Presbyterial from May 10 to 16.

Sometimes even I do not like what I have to say, The thing that frightens me is if that is all they say!! Tell me I'm wrong and 1 will help you search for the Truth, Show me I'm wrong and 1 will follow you to the Truth. The shortest road to hell for our nation, or our own souls, is to do what "feels right''. Scripture warns of a "way that seems right to the heart of man which leads to destruction," and Jesus said the wide, easy, road leads to destruction. We stand at the doorway to an utterly new and different life- style and must have courage to seek God's way. The cheap religion of emotional enthusiasm or intellectual games is deserted by the God whose Son was nailed to the cross by emotion and theology! The people whose goals are the comfortable minds and rested bodies of the past have been enslaved by television - encouraged drug -cult, and .mass - media hyphotie entertainment, God calls us to the discipline of Love which seeks obedience, and of Truth which seeks Freedom, in honest disagreeing, or in mission - al co-operation! As we heed the call of Christ to take up our own Crosses and follow Him, we will be challenged by inner fear and outside lures to foresake the pains of growing for the childishness of having others agree. Like those who only ask opinions from people sure to .never disagree, we follow blindly in the paths of falses prophets or charismatic death, Blind agreeing is as deadly to maturing as blind rebellion.

They played at 11:40 against Bath, which is 20 miles from Kingston and defeated Bath 2-0 in which the reporters of the Young Canada Week Daily News reported being one of the most entertaining games of the tourna- ment, as only one penalty was called. The goal scorers for Belgrave were Grant Gnay from Brian Shiell at 2:39 of the first period and David Pletch from Grant Gnay at 6:23 of the third period. Belgrave played at 5:30 against Little Britain and the strong smooth skating Little Britain team was victorious 8-3. Little Britain dominated the play until midway through the third period when Belgrave came on strong and scored three times on goals by David Pletch Nvith on and Grant Gnay with two. The Pee Wees are currently playing against Belmore for the Tri -County championship. Grow herbs indoors Salads, vegetables and meat dishes can be given a flavor boost with herbs grown indoors. "Many people grow mint and parsley in the garden," says Ontario Mini- stry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist R.A. Fleming, "but few realize that parsley, rose- mary,; sweet basil, sweet marjor- am, sage, thyme and other herbs can be grown with ease indoors to add flavor and garnish to winter meals." Given a rich potting soil and a warm temperature, most herb seeds are easy to start. For example, basil takes only 12 days to germinate. After herb seed- lings are established, transplant them to individual hyo- to three-inch pots. However, be- cause chervil, a member of the parsley family, does not stand transplanting, it should be seeded in the pot where it is to grow. Grow the transplanted herb seedlings in a cool, bright room. • Water them by placing their pots on saucers in which pebbles have been scattered and keeping the pebbles moist at all times. There are many uses for herbs grown indoors. While basil leaves can be cut into pieces and sprinkled on any kind of tomato or fish dish, chervil goes well in omelettes and salads. Sweet majoram leaves can • be used to flavor egg dishes, chicken and all light meats. Soups, white sauces, meatballs and bread stuffings benefit from a touch of thyme. 55 at Blyth There were 55 people at the Blyth Euchre party held in Memorial Hall on Monday night. " Mrs, Bernice McClinchey scored the high score for the ladies with Fred Porter taking the high prize for the men. Mrs. Holland had the low score and Millar Richmond had the low for the men. Mrs. Joe Holmes had the most lone hands among the Craft Room Huronview The Huronview Ladies' Auxiliary resumed their regular monthly meetings on Monday, March 17th at 2:30 p.m, in the Craft Roost, The President, Mrs. Webster opened the meeting with the reading of the poem ,"March". The minutes of the November 197.4 meeting were read and approved. A "Thank You" note for the Apples provided the Auxiliary for the Residents on Valentine's Day was read. The Treasurer's report was given and Mrs. McGregor reported for the Craft Room. Members were present from: Blyth Hensall, Kippcn East and Londesboro. A lengthy discussion took place on the need for help in the Craft Rooni to finish articles which have been partially completed by the Residents and of course there is always a need for Quiltcrs. The demand for articles produced in the Craft Room always exceeds the output. The money derived from the sale of articles goes to replenish stocks of material in the Craft Room and provide other needed comforts such as addition- al wheel chairs, T.V. sets, etc. euchre ladies and William Gow had the most lone hands among the men. There will be another euchre next week with everyone welcome. ***** Bicycle riders should observe all road signs, urges St. John Ambulance. A jumped road sign can often lead to tragedy. If you get the feeling good things are happening in Ontario help needed at which Government Funds don't always cover. A notion was made and approved to have Mrs. Webster approach the Women's Institutes at each of the District Annual Meetings and ask each Institute within Huron county to scend a group of workers for one full day every other month, at least. The Huronview Residents will be taking part in the Parade at the Clinton Spring Fair, .lune 6 and also the Centennial Parade later in the summer, Old Tinic Costumes or parts of costumes are needed, anyone who would be willing to loan any articles for these parades could contact Mrs, Webster or Mrs, McGregor. The meeting was adjourned and the tnenibers had a short time to visit with friends, relatives or neighbours at Huronview. The next meeting will be held on April 21 at 2:30 p,m. This will be the annual Meeting and also election of officers, SH LEAN UND ; EF 79c LB. l(N)l oR MORE FOR 69c L B . H MEAT MARKET -D. GERALD HILTZ B.A., LLB.

Bob Welch, Minister Malcolm Rowan, Deputy Minister DEAR ANN LANDERS: I am not a big Women's Libber but I would like to focus on a growing problem in the American busi- ness community, I refer to the most flagrant example of male chauvinism, It is the hiring of female employees by men who anticipate sexual favors and behave rottenly when they are denied, i, as well as some of my friends, have been passed ever for merit increases, transferred to less desirable branches, given unusually difficult assignments, and hounded into resigning because we wouldn't play the game. hi instances where there was no official grievance committee, these women have been fired, laid off, and written out of the new fiscal,ycar budget. You have taken the position that women who get a Targe number of passes must invite them, But no mention is ever made of the men who misread an attractive face or a great figure. A female doesn't need to wear ten pounds of makeup and walk with a wiggle for the boss to feel he has the right to ask her out, up, down, or to come across. -•A PEOPLE'S LiBBER DEAR LIBBY: I'm sure in the vast world of business and industry a few male bosses operate in the skunky manner you describe. But by and large, Lady, there is no substitute for ability, competence and experience. The women who is lying down on the job (pun intended) will not survive in this competitive world where the bottom line is job performance -- no matter how well she wiggles. DEAR ANN LANDERS: i resent- ed that left-handed poke to divorce Iaywcrs. The women who wrote said, "Any lawyer worth his salt will do everything he can to get the couple back together before he actually goes ahead with the divorce," What an asinine statement! Most pcoplc do as they please in the end. If they didn't want to split they wouldn't be in the lawyer's office in the first place, Any lawyer who practices general law will tell you that divorces are a time•cotisuming pain in the neck. If the woman isn't crying all over the carpet, it's the guy. They change their minds 11 times and when they get to the nitty gritty, they become grabby and behave like animals. 1 say people who want to stay together don't go to divorce lawyers. If a couple is interested in saving their marriage they go to a counselor. --VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE BY A LADY WHO KNOWS DEAR LADY: Dozens of others wrote to express the same opinion.

Agricultural Tidbits Painting self into corner WITH ADRIAN VOS We all heard a lot lately about the preservation of agricultural land, land use planning and the restrictions that can be placed upon the livestock farmer by the encroachment of urbanites in rural areas, It seems that many farmers themselves don't see the danger of this encroachment. Often they are the ones who want non-farm residences built on their land in order to get a fair sum of money which will benefit them in the short run so they can pay off a good part of their mortgage or pay for that expansion they have in mind. In other cases it is the retiring farmer who wants to stay close to the place where he has lived most of his life and wants to sever a piece of land to build his retirement home, Both cases are shortsighted. The farmer who wants the money for expansion is really painting himself into a corner. It's possible that the persons who build in the first place won't object to the odours from his livestock, but who can promise what the next owner will Insurance to? It is quite possible that the farmer wiIl be forced out of the livestock business, This has been proven last month in the Niagara arca where a chicken farmer will have to spend $27,000 for ,elaborate pollution control equipment or lose his business by court order. When a person buys a piece of land he has, by law the right to enjoy that land, and if odours prevent him from this enjoyment he can force the livestock pian out of business. If the retiring farmer severs a corner of his land it is unlikely that he will sue his son for country smells, but if and when he dies or moves to the old peoples' home, the house will be sold and he did his son or the chap he sold the farm to a real disservice because of the sever- ance. If -he wants to retire without having to buy an expensive lot in the village he can make an arrangement with the person who buys the farm, be it his son or a stranger to build a house without severing. This way the house will be part of the farm and it precludes future troubles. plans updated Some important revisions have been made in the crop insurance plans for corn, spring grain and beans to allow farmers to cover their increasing costs of produc- tion. According to spokesmen from The Crop Insurance Commission of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, reseeding benefits have been introduced, the indemnity for unsecdcd spring .acreage has been increased, and higher price options are being offered for the 1975 program. A reseeding benefit of $15 per acre is part of each of the general spring crop plans purchased in 1975. This indemnity will he paid on insured crops whenever it is necessary, because ()I' an insured peril such as 100 nntich rain, to reseed three acres of more. The payment will he made regardless of whether the farmer seeds hack to the sante clop or seeds to a different clop. The payment on unsecdcd acreage (n' "preplant coverage" was introduced in 1973, to provide some indemnity to the farmer not able to get all his intended spring seeded acreage planted. This benefit is now worth $9-$36 per acre depending on the production level on the - farm, compared with a $6•$24 range offered last year. Also, the 5 -acre deductible 00 this benefit has been replaced with a 3 -acre minimum. Higher price options en corn, spring grain, and soybeans have been added to allow participating farmers to cover their rising input costs. The top price option on corn is now $2.60 per bushel at a farmer, premium of $4,40 per acre; with options at $1.95 per bushel for $3.30 per acre, and $1.30 per bushel for $2.20 per. acre. On soybeans the highest price option for 1975 is $5 per bushel at a f'armer's premium cost of $3,25 per acre. Soybean growers may choose to insure at $4 per bushel for $2.60 per acre or $3 per bushel for $1.95 per acre. Farmers growing oats, harley, spring wheat or mixed grain may insure under the spring grain plan for either fou' cents Ipet' pound at $3 per acre, three cents per pound for 52.25 per acre or two cents per pound for $1.50 per acre. This year 3 price options are available for white brans and colored beans. Prices are I 5c per pound at $6 per acre, I1c per pound at $4.40 per acre, and 7c per pound at $2.80 per acre. Under the crop insurance plains, a farmer is guaranteed a certain Icvcl of production de- pending on his yield ;incl claim experience. If his actual produc- tion is less than his guaranteed production, crop insurance pays for the difference at the price option chosen. The costs of the reseeding and preplant benefits are included in the farmer premium rates quoted.

Miss Sari Smith of Mississauga visited on Saturday with Miss Patty McDowell, Clean garden tools now Cleaning your gardening tools now will make the spring digging and hoejng easier when you get down't6 it. "Dirty spades and shovels pick up a covering of sticky soil at each thrust," explains Ontario Mini- stry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, R.A. Fleming. "Rusty hoes and cultivators accumulate gobs of soil instead of gently-t}trning them over. So the gardener who cleans his tools before he needs them saves lots of time and energy because his equipment is less apt to clog up with mud." Use coarse steel wool and emery paper to remove rust and corrosion from steel tools. When they are bright, and polished, rub therm carefully with light lubricat- ing oil. This keeps them clean all season with a minimum of care. THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 2, 1975. PG. 13.
