The blizzard hit Wednesday evening and by Thursday morning had the arca at a standstill, Schools were called off on 11%11 115 tie Thursday and Friday meaning a welcome break for many high school students who had faced examinations last week. The exams were postponed to Monday and Tuesday of this week. Many roads were blocked by the storm and traffic on Highway 4 was down to a trickle. Many drivers got up to find their cars had been nearly buried overnight by the snowfall and banks piled up by snowplows. One exasperated motorist who was busy digging out his vehicle on Thursday afternoon to get it out of the way of snowplows on Queen Street said a BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 20 CENTS VOLUME 85 • NO. 15. Whee! a holiday. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9, Councillors debate responsibility for accident long-time resident had stopped by to say it was the worst snowstorm in April that he could remember. "We're making history," said the frustrated young motorist. He added disgustedly, "Whoopee." The storm hit hardest on Thursday and conditions had improved somewhat by : Friday but roads were still in horrible condition. Even on Saturday and Sunday when the snow had stopped falling, roads were still often hazardous because of drifting caused by high winds. Main roads in this arca, however, were not generally hit as hard as in some other areas of the province where highways were still blocked on Sunday and hundreds of motorists were stranded in service centres. As usual, in this area, township concession roads were the hardest bit with conditions still rough in some places the first of the week. Banks as high as eight feet were reported on Monday. 1975'In the Village, public works crews were kept busier plowing the streets than they had been all winter. And Monday morning they began to clean the largest snow banks of main street that had accumulated all year. The storm showed how dependent each community is on road transportation however on Thursday when shortages of bread and milk developed in most stores due to high demand and the fact that stores had been closed on Wednesday and therefore did not have much stock on hand. in all, though spirits seemed to remain fairly high as most people accepted the storm as a sort of delayed April fool's joke, content in the knowledge of course that spring must certain arrive soon to get rid of the snow. In the meantime, snowmobilers had a ball in their one last fling for the year, roaring through the streets to lend a helping hand to people in need of aid because of the storm. How much responsibility does a municipality have toward those who use its street and sidewalks? That was a major subject of discussion at the April meeting of Blyth village council on Monday night. The discussion/ over a case involving Gladys Fawcett 'who fell in December 1973 on an icy sidewalk on King street. She was in hospital for some time and has been confined to her home ever since. She made a claim to village council some time ago for. non-medical expenses acquired during her illness. Council passed the claim on to the insurance company. At the meeting Monday night the council received a copy of a letter from the insurance adjuster which stated that the insurance company had no liability in the matter. "1 resent this action" said Councillor Fred Carson. He said he felt the insurance company should pay the claim and that the village should be responsible for injuries that take place where the condition of the streets or sidewalks contributed to the accident. The sidewalk in question as well as being icy has heaved out of normal position because of tree roots and was quite uneven. Councillor Helen Gowing felt that perhaps the insurance company was taking advantage of the fact it knew that Mrs. Fawcett could not afford to sue the village. She pointed out that the claim for something slightly over $100 was in no way unfair. Insurance John Elliott, who attended the meeting, explained the position of the insurance company. He said the village's insurance policy is a liability policy not an accident policy. Therefore, in order for a claim to be paid there must be evidence of gross negligence on the part of the village. Even if this case were to go to court, he said, there was little possibility of a judgement against the village. For one thing, he said, the ice on the sidewalk is regarded as an act of God and not a negligence. Though the sidewalk is rough, he said; it has been known to be in such condition for several years. During the winter, he explained the sidewalk is not even in use as a sidewalk because it is not The snow storm that blanketed the area on Thursday and Friday brought a school holiday cleared of snow. The only reason Mrs. and a great chance for a little Iast•minutes winter fun before spring arrives. The banks were Fawcett was using the, sidewalk was even so high on the roadsides that hills weren't needed. ' because the street was icy. He agreed with Councillor Carson that it would be nice to pay the claim on compassionate grounds, but that to accept any legal liability in the case would invite a rash of liability claims from anyone who slipped and fell on a sidewalk or damaged their car on a pothole in a street. Councillor Carson said he still wanted to send the case back to the insurance company for review. He said he wasn't happy with the insurance company over the matter. What was the sense in having insurance, he queried, if the insurance company never paid a claim. Mr. Elliott agreed to take the matter 6back to the insurance company though he said he felt the company would still refuse to pay the claim. In other business, council approved building permits to Rudy Leibold for a house and Gordon McClinchey for an addition. Council approved a severance on the property of Fred Howson. The dog catcher is back Dogs of the village, you'd better stay at home these days. Your days of freedom are over. The village council Monday night declared war on the increasing number of dogs running at Targe by hiring a dog catcher. Commencing immediately James Warwick will act as the village dog catcher with the full backing of the council so that no one in the village can expect special favours. Dogs caught running at large will be taken to the pound in Goderich and dog owners will have to pay to get the dogs back, which could cost oyer $20, Meanwhile, village council got the bite put on it by the county government in the' form of a requisition for a levy of $30,205 up $7,218 from last year. That will mean a 9.45 mill increase in order to meet the county increase. Although the board of Education has not yet set its.budget, Reeve Lawrie predicted at least a 10 mill increase for education. Councillors felt however, that they should not cut back on the village's own plans too sharply. Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh said that in previous years the Village has suffered because it has been too worried about trying to hold down the mill rate. He pointed out that the mill rate 10 years ago was higher than it has been in recent years. Council is doing some cutting back however. The new recreation budget was presented to council showing a projected deficit of $6,550 compared to $13,000 in the initial . budget. Slashed from the budget were plans for an ice -cleaning machine for the arena - and new curtains for the auditorium stage at Memorial Hall, Seniors housing on again The on -again off -again senior' citizens housing development for Blyth is apparent- ly on again. The switcheroo in the project came when Blyth council agreed to purchase the land in question on Queen Street from Mason Bailey and resell to the Ontario Housing Corporation. Approval of the land purchase was made at Mpnday night's council mccting with closure to be May 1. Huron -Bruce M.P.P. Murray Gaunt informed Clerk -Treasurer Latry Walsh by telephone on Tuesday that everything was full -speed ahead on the project now that the land had been purchased. In addition to the land purchased, O.H.C. will purchase the right to use the McConnell Street right. of way for $1.00 per year. Mr. Gaunt said the project would be going before the O.H.C. board within days of approval. After approval is received tenders will be called and finally construction will commence. in other business, no written complaints were received regarding the new drain to drain the cast side of the village so no Ontario Municipal Board hearing will have to be held. Several verbal complaints were received but none of the complainants would put these in formal complaints. Several councillors pointed out that even though some people living in the area complained about the sewer. they were likely to benefit since engineering reports showed that an area of 100 acres would benefit from the new drain. Construction is expected to begin later this year. The other regular monthly topic of discussion, sewers, also had an airing as councillors tried to grapple with a questionnaire from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment regarding financing of the project and additions or deletions from the plan for servicing the village. Council was able to make two additions to service the McConnell and Wellington Street extensions but was unable to come up with what they considered good answers to the questions on footage rates, flankage rates etc. They agreed to seek information from the village of Zurich on the matter, Zurich has just completed sewer installation. There has been no firm estimate of the cost of the project in Blyth but it is expected to be in the neighbourhood of $1.5 million. The Ministry will build and run the system and recover costs through sewerage rates and frontage charges. The council declined to delete any areas from the proposal of areas to be served by the sewers since it felt that installation of sewers will be a big boost to development and many serviced areas will be required.

This 'n' That Sometimes you can't win for losing Now that the crack down on dogs running at loose in the village has begun, there will likely be a few people making the trip to the pound in Goderich to retreave their captured pooches. The account of what happened to one unfortunate citizen was related at council meeting on Monday night. Seems the former dog catcher took the man's dog to Goderich and the owner had to pay more than $20 to get the dog out. On the way home, to add insult to injury the man got a speeding ticket. Sometimes you can't win for losing. *** Village council agreed Monday night to contribute $25 per sign toward the cost of installing four signs at the outskirts of the village to inform people they are in Blyth. The signs arc being promoted by the Board of Trade to improve the image of the town to those who pass through. *** Oil or Calcium: which would you prefer on the streets of Blyth, Council is investigating the relative costs and advantages of the two street treatments in an effort to see which would serve the village best, The councillors didn't say they welcomed public input on the subject but if you feel strongly one way or another you might be wise to let the councillors know.

Research aims toward early, large first litter The gilt that products a large litter of healthy pigs early in life is a real money-maker for the swine producer. "That's why we're trying to find ways of breeding 14- to 20 -week-old gilts," says Dr. R. G. Brown, professor in the Animal and Poultry Science Department of the Ontario Agricultural College. "The young animal that could produce an eight- to nine -pig litter, and be ready for slaughter in its first year, would be a boon to the swine industry," Conception at 14 to 20 weeks is possible. At that age, the normal gilt's uterus apparently PP y has all the biochemical characteristics of a mature uterus, although it is small because the ovaries are not yet producing sufficient amounts of hormones. However, although 14- to 20 -week-old gilts treated with hormones by Dr, G. J.

"We have found that the very minute amount of ovarian hor- mones present in the 12- to 28 -week-old gilt causes the uterus to grow rapidly," says Dr. Brown. "Now we are trying to find the specific hormones responsible for rapid uterine growth. When we have found them we hope to administer them to 14- to 20 -week-old females in order to stimulate uterine growth and gett larger litters when the animals are bred four to five weeks later." weeks later."

"We are trying to determine the physiological events in the uterus at the time of implanta- tion," says Dr. Brown. "For example, we want to know how more energy is made physiologi- cally available to the uterus at that time. We are also examining the pregnant sow's amino acid and fat metabolisms.

On looking a gift horse in the mouth One hates to look a gift tax -cut in the mouth, but Monday's Ontario government budget for 1975 has got to be about the most irresponsible step ever taken by a government desperate for re-election. The wonder is that •Darcy McKeough could manage to keep a straight face when he announced all those goodies like a two -per cent strop in the retail sales tax and a grant for first-time home buyers. How come, if the government can afford to knock off that two per cent now, couldn't they afford not to put it on in the first place? Why, if it's such a good idea to reduce the size of the civil service, did they let it get so big in the first place? Why if the government can now afford to compensate small businesses for collecting sales tax, did they cancel that compensation just a couple of years back? The biggest theme of the budget seems to have been undoing most of the things the government has done in the past few years. Not a bacl Idea, Now if we could just undo county school boards, regional governments and the election of the Davis government in the first place, we'd be all set. TV violence, the cure is ours One of the %%Titer's Ironi a'l'oronto newspaper last week interviewc(i a Hollywood television director who is responsible for many of the more violent television programs. I he interviewer was so hostile to the director that he practically described hire as a two -headed nlonstor, salivating over the profits he could make from teaching violence to little children all over the world. It's a popular view today, but hardly a true or fair one. It seems to be the biggest characteristic of our society in the 1970's that we're always looking for a convenient villain. We look for a villain in the rising price of food, we look for a villian. in inflation, and we look for a villain in television violence. It's comforting to put the blank on sonic faceless TV mogul who we can sec as reaping huge profits by perpetrating horrid television shows 00 poor. helpless television consumers. It's not our fault, we plead, that all we have to watch is violent television shows. Like heck it isn't. It's our fault more than' anyone else's. There is nothing much more democratic than the television rating system. Only shows that.get high ratings survive in the ruthless world of big time television, particularly in the U.S. The reason there is so many violent television shows is simply bccausc people watch them. They don't watch in such large numbers good drama, or opera or ballet or even comedies. They watch violence. When television producers see that violent shows get the best ratings, they produce more violent shows. If we want to stop violence on tcicvision, we have the perfect weapon: the off button on our television set, If we shut off every violent show it won't be psychologically hurting our children or ourselves. And if we do it in sufficient numbers; the ratings for violent television shows will plutitit and we don't have any shows to worry about at all. The cure for television violence starts at home. Pardon .those cynics The reaction to the plight of the millions of refugees of the Vietnam war has spread throughout the Western world. The frustration of Westerners at not being able to help these people has found an outlet in the movement to given homes to at least some of the orphaned children in Vietnam and Cambodia. Some 'experts" have commented on the foolhardiness of orphan airlift. They have questioned the sincerity of the thousands of people in Canada, the United States and Europe who have offered homes to orphaned children, saying they are reacting emotionally and later will think differently, Some even have the self-confidence to say the children would be better off left to die in their homeland than to 'be brought to North America. ' It must be nice to be so sure of onessclf that one can be as cold and calculating as some o1' these experts are. These are often the same people who say efforts to save the starving people in places like Biafra arc misguided.,'I'hey point out that these children have often been sick or undernourished to the point they will never recover properly. They may even have been mentally handicapped by the hardships they have had to face Coldly, and calculating they may be right. We would be better off in the world in the long run if the sick did die off. We'd be better off if the people of sonic of the perenially poor nations would all clic off and give the rest of the world's exploding population sonic room to grow. But who can be that coldly calculating and still pretend to be a civilized individual? 'these people are, in the same boat as those who recommend abortion or cuthenasia as methods of' population control, They can make these intellectual statements because they arc safely in the "have" part of the world. They and their children are not the one to be left to die, 'i'hey are not likely to be killed off when they reach a certain age to make room for a younger generation. They are already safely here in the world and don't have to worry about someone deciding they don't have the right to be born. ,r The brightening thing that perhaps these cynics should look at is that i1' they can make these decisions for other human beings, who's to say that someday someone mitre powerful than they may make the sante decision about them? Who's to say another Hitler won't gain power in the world? - If we don't want to leave the door open for this sort of development, we must continue to look on the life of every individual as precious, Surely if &en one orphan can be saved to live a happy life, whether in Vietnam or North America, it is a victory for humanity. A moment in history This old photograph of the opening day of the Blyth Memorial Hall was sent to The Standard recently by Dr. C. E. Toll of Seaforth, a native of Blyth. Dr. Toll took the photo from the balcony of the Hall during the opening ceremonies. Letter to the editor DEAR EDITOR: The CANTDU Committee has read the text of the recent speech entitled 'Nuclear Power and it's Critics' made by Robert 13. Taylor, Chairman of Ontario Hydro. This Committee having made a detailed and unprejudiced study of the available information concerning nuclear reactors in Canada and elsewhere, remains convinced that the following statements arc true and can be supported by a large body of documented evidence, 1. While the proposed nuclear expansion programme niay ap- pear to be politically expedient for Ontario, a higher quality of lift can be maintained in this province and in Canada as a whole without resorting to this source of energy. 2. The Government of Ontario has never been given a mandate by the public to proceed with this programme involving as it docs such long terns and far reaching consequences, and which can so seriously impair all forms of life in the near and distant future. '3. The major cut-backs in the proposed nuclear expansion pro- gramme in the United States of America result from. a growing awareness by the people of that country of the hazards they are being asked to accept and their refusal to tolerate them. The essential theme of this resent- ment is not technology, but the proliferation of radio -active poi- sons and the threat of major releases • a threat common to all types of reactors. It is a fact that only as a result of action by CANTDU and similar organiza- tions that the proponents of nuclear energy here in Ontario are beginning to admit in public, the existence of any hazards whatsoever. 4, If all the costs of nuclear generated energy are honestly accounted for, it can be establish - cd that this source of energy is much more expensive than energy derived from alternative sources. 5. 'l'hc proposal to continue dumping vast amounts of heat in the Great Lakes System until such times as it may be established that 'thermal discharges are damaging to the aquatic ecology' is contrary to all the principles of environmental protection, The fact that over 75°4 of the heat gcncratcd in the CANTDU reactor has to be dumped as wasted energy tells us much concerning the real efficiency of the CANTDU system. 6. The proponents of nuclear energy have made a practice of quoting eminent scientists reveal that these scientists are directly or indirectly financially involved in the multi-million dollar nu- clear programme. No reference is made to the many other eminent scientist who have condemned the nuclear programme, or those whose conscience has forced then) to resign from renunibera- tive positions of responsibility, C'ANTDU, 'strongly opposes /the philosophy that an understanding of nuclear reactors and the hazards related to them is beyond they grasp of the average citizen, and thus decisions concerning safety and hazards must be left to the opinions of the experts. 7, lnt'the ev9ht of Gar, civil un -rest, or natural disaster, CANTDU believes that communi- ties within,ti hundred miles of a nuclear complex/such is Picker- ing or Bruce, will be/exposed to. unacceptable dangers. The sig- nificant pollution of our Great Lakes system by radio active materials, no matter who remota] the risk, we consider to be also unacceptable, The transportation nf•raclio active materials on public road or railway systems etc. is another hazard with a potential for profound and long-term consequences. The primary concern of CANTDU is that the public should have access to not only the arguments which may favour the proposed expansion of nuclear generated electricity, but be made aware of the very real hazards and available alternative solutions. We feel that this must be accomplished before large scale investments of public money create an irreversible situation. CANTDU requests the Provin- cial Government and Ontario Hydro to make available to our conunince a portion of the public money, presently being spent to promote their concept of the nuclear expansion programme, in order that our arguments, and the facts supporting them, can be put before the general public of this province. CANTDU has no political affiliations, and no direct or indirect financial involvement in energy matters. If this challenge is ignored or rejected, CANTDU will continue to gain support, for history shows, as was the case in the recent attempt to conceal serious defects in the Pickering reactor, the public ultimately learns the whole truth.

'those long black nights and those shore white days are gone for another six months, and, as far as I'm concerned, till up the bowls and let joy resign unconfined. Usually, we straggle into spring with nothing more hilar- ious than a slight lessening of despair, but this year the old lady and I ended winter with a gallant fillip. Some would call it a flip, As you know, if you are keeping up with the social news, we "took up" cross-country skiing this spring. Most people take up sports during the season, but we don't. operate that way. As I recall, we look up golf in the fall, after the leaves had begun to tumble. Anyway, we took to skiing like a cat takes to nip, and in no time we were arguing about what kind of wax to use (we, have two kinds, red and black) and clumping around in our boots like real skiers. Our ,tinning was perfect. .On what turned out to be the last` day of skiing for the season, we took a shot at a hill. Or maybe it was the other way 'around. It was a long, straight hill: no trees, no rocks, nothing 'that a capable six-year•old couldn't handle with both hands in his pockets. We were certainly polite enough. It was: "You go first, you're the man". And: "No,, no, dear. Ladies first, you know." As usual, I was out• manoeuvred. I steeled myself with recollections of driving a bicycle head-on into a cow during an English black -out, of diving into a hell -fire of German anti-aircraft fire, took off. One thing I dislike about skiing is that there are no brakes. You can't even drag your feet. Well, sir, the only way I ean describe my crescent of that slope is hell -hent. Squatting like a kangaroo in labor, eyes rolling, I went down there at what I reckon was atwttt 140 mph. A fall marks winter's end And I made i1. No ignominious tmtntble. No splits. Thirty feet from the end oI' the run, all danger behind, I straightened up, waved one ski -pole nonchalantly and turned my head to see if"The Chicken was impressed. Just then Ilse snow, with unbelievable crust, rose up and smote me a mighty smite on the head. My cap flew off. I knew wasn't in hell, hue I sure fell hent, I lay there, quietly uttering words I haven't heard since my I)ad used 10 go down and heal the coal furnace )villi a shovel. I heard a scream. "At lead she knows I'm dying," I thought bitterly. "Boy, is she going to he sorry for some of the things she said 10 Ise, over the ye'ar's." 'then I heard another scream. "13i11, get out of the way! I'm going to run over you!" VV witching illy broken neck around, I looked uphill. 'There .was a dark figure flying toward me. It looked like. witch, but it %vas riding two broomsticks, instead of one. 'Then the broomsticks began to part, in what seemed slow motion, and I knew the witch was going to split right up the middle unless the nightmare ended. I1 did, I woke up. The witch was dead. One broomstick pointed straight in the air: The other was pointed back up the hill. There was silence. Then: "Are you all right?" And: "I don't know. Are you?" And: "I dunno, I think I'm gonna cry," ('That was ane). iAXWELI.

This 0,000 -acre. vegetable garden has a very interesting 50 -year history and an even more impressive present-day record: $14 million worth of crops in an average year, Carrots, onions, lettuce, celery, potatoes arc just a few; in fact, on the Bradford Marsh, you can find just about ' everything needed for a fine` salad. •I'he Bradford Marsh is situated close to one of Canada's largest metropolitan areas, a readily accessible market for fresh quality produce, Highway 400 bisects the marsh about halfway between Toronto and Barrie,' putting this amazing garden right in Toronto's backyard, "Black Magic" captures the ITher of modern vegetable produc- tion, with all its latest technology. I3ut, just as important, it highlights the basic, determined nature of the pcoplc behind. the machines and behind the ,Brad- ford Marsh itself. 'through the use of candid remarks and descriptions, voiced by actual marsh gardeners, the. 28 -minutes film acquaints viewers with the problems and successes of these people.

"Chuckles Little suffered from a depressing sense of the futility of life and of her own uselessness, 'Why?', she asked herself, 'am I not performing some significant function in the world, rather than plugging along al niy tedious job as cashier in a drug store? Surely there must be some great mission to which someone is calling nie.' Just then, as she was rushing back to the store from the lunch counter, she had the sensation of something above striking her on the Bead. She looked up, but saw only dark clouds. 'Dear nie,' she said to herself. 'The sky must be falling.' For a moment she Itad a sense of deep despair, but then she revived.

Margaret Taylor by Addie Hunking and to president Jessie Tebbutt by General fertilizer recommendations for spring grain The results of a soil test are the best guidelines for determining how much fertilizer spring grains need. However, if a soil test is not completed, some general fertil- izer recommendations for spring grains are available. "Because these recommenda- tions are based on knowledge of previous management and do not take the soil's present fertility to account, following them may not lead to the maximum yields possible," warns Dr. C. S. Baldwin, Head of the Soils Section, Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, "but they are very useful guidelines."I To fertilizer barley grown following a crop of Tess than one-quarter legumes, broadcast, and work in prior to seeding about 40 pounds of nitrogen per acre. At planting time, apply fertilizer with a 0-20.20 analysis at 150 pounds per acre. Fertilize oats grown following a crop of less than one-quarter legumes, by applying 15-15-15 analysis fertilizer at 150 pounds an acre. "In Nothcrn Ontario, if spring cereals are seeded prior to May 15, the rate of nitrogen for barley can be increased to 60 pounds per acre, and for oats to 50 pounds per acre, This applies only when legume sod does not precede the cereal crop and/or when lodging is not a problem," says Dr. Baldwin. Following a legume sod, or when lodging is a problem, barley should receive 150 pounds per acre of a 0.20-20 analysis fertilizer at planting, and oats 100 pounds per acre of the same fertilizer at planting.

From the Minister's study CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 so she quickly added, 'No it's not that, but ... really it's worse, The sky is falling.' 'That's bad news,' Henry replied, 'Where shall we go?' 'Will we be safe in the Town Hall?' 'Perhaps', said Chuckles, 'but first we must warn people, for 1 have a feeling that this is my life vocation.' So to make a long story short, they informed Doug Lucky, Phil Wiggy, Pussy Cats and a number of others, avoiding those on whom they rather wanted the sky to fall. As the group moved towards the magic stars leading to safety, a voice was heard from heaven, saying, 'What you felt was not the sky falling, but my rain which falls on the just an'd the unjust, but especially on the just since the injust have taken some of the just's umbrellas. .• 'But has it ever occurred to you that your mission in life might be to spread good news rather than bad. It just happens that 1 sent my Son to earth some time ago to announce the deliverance from hang-ups, recovery of sight to those who can't see past their own noses, and in general a time of acceptance, though you don't seem to have heard about this. You might pass the word along, although tactfully and in a way that will give the impression that you are giving good news and not hitting them over the head with a sales pitch. You might even find that this is good news for you too.' Chuckles was momentarily disappointed with the realization that the sky was not really falling, and that her mission in life was evaporating into a gentle shower. But then she. reflected, 'Perhaps good news is better than bad after all." If we must gossip, then let us gossip the good news, let's say good things about others, let's look for ways that we can help others, let's affirm the goodness of our world!

In 1962, a brief history of the village of Blyth was published in The Standard by Mrs. L. M. Scrimgeour of Blyth. Recently, a reader of The Standard brought the piece into the paper again, feeling it appropriate with the centennial ,of the village approaching in 1977. The piece shows the progress of the village from 1851 to 1961 and in doing so also slows the programs from 196(to 1975, According to the records of Huron County Council of their June session held in 1876, Blyth was recorded as the youngest minor municipality of Huron County, and at the beginning of the year 1877 it became an incorporated village. By a special census taken previously to this the population was 850, Elections were subsequently held and the first municipal council elected was: Reeve, Patrick Kelley; Councillors, Wm. Sloan, M.D., D.B. McKinnon, James Wilson, Thomas Nichol- son, Robert Phillips was appoint- ed Clerk and Treasurer, with Charles Hamilton as Assessor. in 1878 William Clegg was reeve and the council was James Petch, Hugh McQuarrie, W. H. Watson, Charles Floody, with the 1877 clerk -treasurer and assessor remaining. During the first half-dozen years, nothing is revealed except the usual routine of commonplace events and the every -day exist- ence in a back -woods village. The first settlement within the present limits of Blyth, was made by Lucius A. C. McConnell from the County of York, (originally County Down, Ireland), and Kenneth McBean, a Scotchman who had previously settled in the township of North Easthope. Each came separately, but arrived at almost the same time. McConnell occupied lots one and two, concession ten, and McBean lots one and two, concession nine in the township of Morris. This was the first settlement in the original township of Morris and took place during the month of May 1851. The next occupier of land within the present village limits was Robert Drummond, who took up the corner lot No. 42, concession one of the township of Wawanosh. John Templeton, a son of one of the first settlers in Goderich, was the next settler on the Wawanosh side. He erected a log house, wherein he operated the first store of the place. The first hotel was built soon afterwards by John, a brother of Robed Drummond. Very soon after the settlement by the Drummond brothers and John Templgton, John Drum- mond started a shoe store and George Draney moved in and set up a blacksmith shop. A Mr. Gurney arrived and opened a tailor's shop. This was in 1854 and in the spring of 1855 McBean built a sawmill and the place gave promise of becoming quite a village. • It was at this time that William Drummond, now one of the leadin2 citizens. conceived the idea of laying out a village on the site of his father's property and had it done accordingly. In looking over papers on early history, Mr. Drummond discover- ed a copy of the bill advertising the original "sale of land", which was the inception of the Village of Blyth. for many years called the Village of Drummond. As a matter of historical interest, we quote this "Bill of Sale:" Extensive Auction Sale • Frederick Wilson, is instructed to sell by auction, without reserve, on Tuesday the third day of April 1855, "Two hundred valuable town lots of one quarter acre each, in the village of Drummond, situated on the Townline, be- tween the townships of Wawa - nosh, Morris and Hullett." "This progressive part of the County, now fully settled, is situated within ten miles of Clinton and fifteen miles from Goderich." "As the settlers in this locality now require all kinds of mechanics and the conveniences of a nearer market town, this will prove a most favorable oppor- tunity for purchasing free -hold property, and as the present village is not adequate in any way, to supply the wants of the increasingly numerous community of wealthy farmers at present in the locality, and as a grist mill and saw mill, with a tavern and store are already in completion, the Village of Drum- mond must eventually, prove a most desirable location. Terms of sale The terms of this Auction Sale was dated, Clinton, January 22, 1855." Quite a large sale was affected, and the place soon assumed ,a Village air. William Drummond establish- ed a mercantile business in 1859. The development was sure but was also slow. It was not until the building of the Lake Huron and Buffalo railway, that it received a decided impulse, which turned it from a back -woods village to a busy prosperous railway town, now containing five general and one fancy goods store, eight groceries, one hardware, one boot and shoe shop, one flour and feed mill, one each, furniture, jewellry and drug store, two tin and stove shops, two harness stores, two bakeries, steam flour and grist mill, foundry and Agricultural machinery factory, furniture factory, two wagon, and four blacksmith shops, planing mill, sash, door and blind factory, four hotels, two schools, three teachers, four churches: Presby- terian, Episcopalean, Anglican, Roman Catholic, two weekly newspapers: ,"The Record". and "The Review," two telegraph offices, Masonic Order, Loyal Orange Lodge, and independent Order of Grand Templars. The number of ratepayers in 1877 was 261, and the assessors returns in 1879 showed the population to be 1,200. Blyth contains 500 acres of land, taken almost equally from the Southern corner of Wawanosh township, the Western corn of Morris township. Sixty miles from London, fourteen miles from Wingham and sixteen miles from Goderich. The receipts of the municipality in 1878 were $3,688.32 of which 2,789.01 was collected in taxes. The expenditures covered the total amount of receipts $1,076.75 went to schools and 176,71 for county rate. Kenneth McBean was the first white child to be born in the village, and the first religious service was held in the home of Mr. McBean, by a Rev. Mr. Atkins. But in 1961 almost one hundred years later we ask the question, How has the village progressed during the century? This hinges on our conception of progress, The population has decreased and now stands at 750, but the citizens of Blyth feel the village has progressed over the years. We often hear the remark, "'Those were the Good Old Days" but were they really any better when we thoughtfully analyse them. Around 1940 the C.N.R. or former L.H. and B. train from London to Wingham, familiarly spoken of as "The butter and egg special" was discontinued and the rails taken up, to be used as war assets. This railway had given service to Blyth 'since 1860 by two passcngcr trains each way, six clays a week, also freight trains each way except Sunday, and around 1906 a branch -line of the C.P.R. was built from Guelph to Goderich, serving Blyth with two passcngcr trains each day making connection to 'and from Toronto, but trucks, transports, and passenger car travel has caused the C.P.R, to curtail their service to one freight train each way daily, from Guelph to Goderich to which is attached a passenger coach, but two very compcntent transport lines and mail trucks serve the village very well, and the annoyance of abandoning the C.N.R. and curtailing the C.P.R. is forgotten. The revenue from taxation in 1961 was $44,121.00. Other sources of revenue, were contri- butions, grants, and subsidies, making a total revenue of $62,071.69. The estimated sur- plus for the year . ending December 31st, 1961, is $1,055,05. The religious life of the village is being taken care of by five churches: The Anglican Church, with Rev. Robert Measly, an Irishman, the present rector, has a very interesting record. It began its existence in 1860, when services were held in the sitting room of a log hotel, owned and operated'by Mr. Wm. Shane. At that time a Rev. Carmichael, a young Irish missionary, who was posted at Clinton, walked from Clinton to Blyth each Sunday to conduct these services. Mr. Carmichael later became Arch- bishop of Montreal and finally was awarded the honor of being appointed "Primate of All 1 Canada." He was succeeded by another Irishman, W. T. Murphy, of Wingham, who was appointed rector of the Blyth parish and held services in the Loyal Orange Hall, on the Nethery farm, 21/2 miles north of Blyth, but not long after this the present Trinity Anglican Church was erected, The Presbyterian congregation with Rev. David Lane D.D, the present minister, have, after adjustments were made following church union in 1925, worshipped in the fornlcr Methodist Church on Queen Street. The corner stone for this church was laid on May 29, 1899, and the total cost of the church and lot, exclusive of labor done by excavating, team- ing stone, and etc., was $5,350,00, The old church was sold to Mr, R, Howard for $150,00 and converted into a dwelling. In 1936 the Methodist Church was sold to the continuing presbyters• ans and is known as St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, Church union The former Presbyterian Church became the property of the United Church congregation with Church union, with Rcv. R. A. Brook their first minister, followed in 1938 by the late Rcv. Arthur Sinclair, then Rev. W. J. Rogers, Rev. C. J. Scott, Rev. A. W, Watson. In 1958 the present minister, Rev. R, Evan McLagan, was called to the pastorate. This congregation is considering 0 new church in the. very near future. St. Michaels Roman Catholic Church was established in 1860 and has made rapid growth during the past few years. Rcv. Fr, L. E. Reed -Lewis, ministers to the spiritual needs of the Clinton -Blyth Parish. Ten years ago, a new church was formed, called "'The Church of God." 'l'hc minister, Rcv, John Dormer , reports encouraging growth in 1961. Educationally the school has changed from two schools with three teachers, to one school with six teachers. and an enrollment of 153 students, from Kindergarten to Grade eight. • in 1961 Blyth has three drygoods stores, three groceries, two hardware stores, one drug store, one furniture store, a Sc -$1,00 store, one butcher shop, one weekly newspaper which serves the village and community well. The four blacksmith shops of 1855 have been replaced by seven service garages. Bainton Limited, operate an industry known as "Wood Pull- ing." There arc only three of these in Canada. The principle raw material used is lamb skins and sheep skins, purchased from meat packing plants, throughout all of Canada and the United States. This plant processes approximately 400,000 lamb skins per year, yielding one million pounds of wool and 35,000 dozen pickled skins. The wool is sold to the textile trade in Canada and the United States, and is made into various products, such as, blankets, yarn, rugs, cloth, and sox. The pickled skins are sold to a tannerer and tanned into • leather, suitable for making gloves, mitts, leather jackets, ladies hand bags, shoe linings and chamois. At the present time Bainton Ltd., have finished products, custom made by Canadian plants, from their own raw material, selling both whole- sale and retail are wool blankets, sox, dress gloves and mitts, and sheepskin rugs. The Blyth plant employs from 25 to 35 people. This industry was founded by Bainton Brothers in Blyth in 1885 and has been a family operated business ever since then. At that time hides and skins were picked up from butchers in the area from London to Owen Sound with a horse-drawn vehicle. In those days they processed approxi- mately 12,000 lambskins each year. This business operated since 1939, under the name of Blyth Woollen Mills, but in 1959 it was incorporated as Bainton Limited. The Bainton family also own and operate a 300 acre far►n, one mile from Blyth on which 2,900 lambs and 500 sheep were pastured on their arrival by C.P.R, freight from Western Canada in October, 1,800 of these have since been taken to the farm of Richard Snell, of Clinton, who is a partner in this project, These lambs will be fed and finished for the packing house trade for the winter and Easter market. In 1859 mention was made of a feed and grist mill, This has been in operation continuously eves' since, but in 1947 the present owners Howson & Howson, took over the flour and feed mill, completely overhauling the mill which they purchased from Irvine Wallace, who had operated it as a feed mill only, since 1934. Howson & Howson made exten- sive alterations and started to manufacture in June or July 1948. At that time the capacity was 50,000 lbs, or 500 bags per day. The mills is now running 24 how's per day manufacturing 30 tons of feed per day and 1,000 bags of flour every 24 hours, using Western spring wheat and Ontario winter wheat. They have twenty employees, and have expanded during the past month by installing pneumatic machinery to handle all Ilour mill stock as well as adding 01her labor and time saving, machines as well. ,,In 1949 we note a sash and door factory and planing mill. Saw mills and planing mills have been operated continuously since. under various owners, but in 1948, Alex Manning and, Sons purchased a former apple packing and evaporator building on the southern end of the village, and to this building the firm made many renovations and extensions, transforming it into 0 modern and up to date planing mill and builders supply storage. They expanded into the contracting business seven and a half years ago, and have erected 21 residences during that time plainly 'n the village. As their work is s Isonal their employees are cut to I•..liinintun during the winter months but employ 8 to 10 men during the building season. They have plans for greater expansion in the very near future. During the past 15 years three new industries have been developed, In 1945 the area farmers formed a Co-operative and fitted up a former planing mill as a modern cheese factory, which operated quite successfully until three years ago, when they amalgamated with the United Dairy and Poultry Co -Operative, becoming linked with the Wing - ham and Seaforth plants and is doing a record business. The company's annual report, releas- ed last March, showed that the Blyth location's milk receipts vaulted from 2,000,500 lbs. in 1959 to 16,000,000 lbs. in 1960. The plant also manufactured 414,000 lbs. of cheese in 1960, four tines the previous year's production, Turkey plant. For several years. Robert Wallace, a Morris township farmer, became interested in turkey raising, then had a vision, and built what is known as the Wallace Turkey Plant at the northern entrance to the village in 1953. The first year he processed 6,000 turkeys and in 1954 he produced turkey pies with on employee, but the demand in creased so rapidly for these pies that Mr. Wallace installed two modern turkey pie making machines in 1961 and now four employees turn out 1,000 pies per day. In 1955 he expanded to operate a turkey sandwich snack bar. Four employees are kept busy preparing boneless turkey rolls, which also are in great demand. During the killing and processing season Mr. Wallace has 20 employees, and two trucks are used to deliver the goods throughout Ontario. During 1961, 18.000 turkeys were processed.

Flooding worries farmers The worry that farm drainage in Hullett would suffer when the Hullett Wildlife Management Area goes ahead with their plan to flood 2,000 acres of their reserve in Hullett Township was the main concern expressed by members of the community who attended a meeting to discuss the plan for the Area on March 20. The Ministry of Natural Re- sources plans to flood the 2,000 acres and construct a drain in the north west corner of the arca and control the water by a series of dykes. The flooded arca will provide a habitat for wild fowl and a hunting site. In some areas water will be as shallow as two inches, but in deeper areas limited canoeing and row boating will be permitted. Hullett Reeve John Jewitt first raised concern about the effect of flooding on drainage. Ministry spokesmen said' that they shared his concern and said that acquisition or compensation could be considered, if• damage occurred. Wildlife biologist' Rene Jones. said that the ares to be flooded was very Io* and flooded naturally every spring and some- times in the Fall. He said farming in the area had been a risk. Reeve Jewitt disputed this saying "People down there made more money from just farming than anybody in the county of Huron." Hullett Township farmer Nick Whyte also expressed concern about drains. Reeve Jewitt said that it was difficult for farmers to plan drainage without knowing what the ministry's plans are. "Drainage is the first priority .for Hullett residents" he said, Farmers at the meeting were also concerned about wildlife overflowing from the area unto neighbouring farms and possible damage to farm lands from hunters. Natural Resources per- sonnel at the meeting promised that hunting would be strictly controlled. Farmers should be reimbursed by hunters for the privilege of going on their land, some at the meeting thought. Elmer Trick, speaking from the farmers' point of view, said that he didn't think farmers should have to pay any of the costs of additional drains across their land which might be required when, flooding is completed. The meeting discussed whether or not roads leading to the Management area should eventu- ally be paved to handle the crowds who are expected to visit. Reeve Jewitt said paving would be Hullett Township's decision, unless a government department' would pay for it. Others said that they didn't think the public would expect paved roads in the, country. "There are good roads, there now", Reeve Jewitt pointed out. The Hullett Wildlife Manage- ment Area will eventually cover 6,000 acres in the township - perhaps one tenth of the total arca. About 5,000 have been acquired now at a cost of about $L5 million. Ministry of Natural Resources planner Wendy McNab said that the plan proposal is the first attempt to look at how to develop the area and that public input is required. She said that written and phone comments are welcome at the Ministry's Wingham Office. After a draft master plan is prepared financing will be invest- igated and then detailed site and management plans will be done, she said. In a booklet outlining proposed plans for the area, the Ministry mentioned the possibility of moving power lines that run through the area and present a hazard to wildlife. Reeve Jewitt questioned this. "The lines will go on farmers' land if they are moved. If it's worth $24,000 to the Ministry to get rid of the lines, it's worth that to the fellow who gets stuck with them." Ministry spokesmen said that moving the power lines had been contemplated initially but it was not likely now that they would be moved, Any campgrounds in the area should be developed privately, not by the Ministry, Reeve Jewitt and Seaforth Mayor Betty Cardno said. Huron's Development Office, Spence Cummings said that a policy from the Ministry on what type of campground is needed would be helpful. "We can help with our experience gained' at Point Farms" said Wingham MNR director Dan Mansell. Representatives from various groups discussed what type of recreational vehicles should be allowed in the Area, Reeve Jewitt was concerned that some area be set aside for snowmobiling. A representative from the Federation of Ontario Naturalists said that other vehicles could be hard on nesting sites and snowmobiles, if allowed, should be given a specific area. Noise from snowmobiles could deafen wildlife, Mr. Jones said, Reeve Jewitt commented that there are more wildlife than ever in this part of Ontario so they must be compatible with snowmobiles. A Federation of Anglers and Hunters spokesman said that snowmobiles shouldn't present a problem if water fowl weren't around in winter. Jack Graul, chairman of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority said he felt it was wrong to spend public money on glorifying snowmobiles. Planner Wendy McNab said that considering the flooded area and dykes and treed area, there would be a fairly small area left for snowmobile trails, "We would like to bring in snow shoeing and cross country skiing and they are competing forthe same area with snowmobiles." She said she felt these activities were more com- patible with wildlife viewing than was snowmobiling. Making provision for handi- capped visitors to be able to get around the area in wheel chairs and the possibility of bicycle trails were also discussed. Others who attended the meeting in an official capacity were J.W. Coulter of the Huron County Board of Education; Warren Zinn, Chairman of the Huron County Development Committee and Maurice Bean from the Huron Federation of Agriculture. Another public meeting will be held later. "Time to THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 9, 1975. PG. 11. History of Blyth CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 So from small beginnings great things arise, in just eight years of hard work and enterprise. Another comparatively new industry is the Turnip -Waxing Plant, with Russell Dougherty sole proprietor and general manager, In 1949 Mr. Dougherty started his business on a small scale, in, a garage, and met with such success he purchased a disused flax mill across the street from his home at the eastern entrance to the village. He completely overhauled, modern- ized the building, enclosing it in steel, and fitted it to be an up to date turnip waxing plant, ready for business in 1950. Mr. Dougherty draws turnips from five hundred acres, which he either owns or has leased locally. During the 1961 season he purchased twenty thousand bushels of turnips in the Chepstow and Formosa arca. These he trucked to his Blyth plant, where they were washed, trimmed and waxed, ready for shipment to markets in Ontario and the United States, and some to local markets. Mr. Dougherty stated, the average shipment for the past few years has been 125 thousand bushels each year, and upt to date in 1961 the equivalent of 100 car loads have been shipped out of Blyth, while more than 70,000 bushels are still in storage awaiting processing. During the peak of the season 25 to 30 are needed, but ten regulars are employed all year. Another important industry is the George Radford Construction, which specializes in all types of road work. Run" to be Love and understanding, the problems between young and old, parents and children, personal problems all this can be seen in the movie 'Time To Run,' which will be shown in Goderich on April 13, 14, and 15 at the Park Theatre on The Square. There will be two showings each day, for the public. The exact times will be announced later. The preview of this movie has been shown earlier this year in Goderich, for a number of residents. One of them was Glenn Rittinger. "It is a first rate movie. It's appealing to different age groups. Personally, I was impressed with this film. It has a lot of meaning and reinforcement for someone like me," commmented Mr. Rittinger. In 'Time to run' Ed Nilson plays Warren Cole, a hard -driv- ing industrialist, who finds it The village population is 750, and taxable assessment is $700,000, Plans are being dis- cussed for the installation of a lagoon -type disposal system estimated at $150,000. Plans are also being made for conversion of the Blyth Municipal Telephone System to dial service. Residents get the benefits of an improved road link running west to Highway 21 at Godcrich. Last year, a new development road, No. 499, was completed and officially opened. The 14 -mile asphalt roadway linking Blyth to Auburn to Goderich is part of the old County Road 25. Its construc- tion cost $646,000. The project included a new bridge, completed early in 1960. The span is located a mile west of the village. So the citizens of Blyth are justly proud of their village, and believe, "God smiles when He looks down upon our thrifty little town," because we believe we have progressed greatly since 1877 when Blyth became an incorporated village, until December 31, 1961. We speak with pride, because it is one place that has no unemployment problems. ***** Electrical outlets should be capped to keep out tiny exploring fingers, says the Industrial Accident Prevention Association.

After much soul-search- ing, the father realizes his own responsibility for the disintegra- tion of his family; Approached from a religious perspective, 'Time To Run' is also a story of friction between Jeff and his girlfriend, Michelle, played by Barbara Sigel, she is a familiar face to television viewers. Michelle has discovered a spiritual dimension in her life, and this aspect is very confusing to Jeff, who has little time for "a God who would allow war, hatred, and suffering on earth". But his life is shattered by an avalanche of personal problems and he finds himself at a Jesus people gathering with Michelle, where he glimpses the possibility of a new life-style based on love and understanding. "It is a very good film. It's projected towards young people. !It would also provoke thinking," :said Rev. G. L. Royal, Knox (Presbyterian Church in Goderich. Some of the younger people have also seen this film. One of them is Tim Barz, Grade 12 :student in Goderich. "I hope that most of the teenagers will see this movie. It presented the problems that both parents and children deal with. After seeing this movie, most of the people could probably relate to their personal problems much easier. It is a very good piece of work. It shows lack of communi- cations in that particular family," he said. Rev. Ross Nichols, of Goderich, feels that the movie itself is satisfying, well performed. "I'm planning to see it again, and I think that most of the people would appreciate it. It is the best among the movies that 1 have seen. It puts the individual in the play," he said.

Remove the lower leaves. from the cuttings to facilitate planting. Trim the base of each cutting so the cut is clean and not ragged, "Cuttings of plants that root rapidly, such as Wandering Jew and Coleus,, may be set in a glass of water," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticul- turist, D.M. Sangster. "How- ever, most cuttings produce better roots in clean, sharp sand or in a medium such as perlite•" Keep the medium moist, but riot saturated, and do not reuse a medium unless it. has been sterilized. To create a moist atmosphere around cuttings and prevent them from wilting, cover with a glass jar or plastic. Rcmovc the covering gradually once the cuttings begin to root, Shade cuttings from thesun, but make sure they have plenty of indirect light.

Young children have been seriously injured or even electrocuted as a result of tampering with such outlets. Sports should be fun for the athletes not coaches, scientists and politicians BY KEITH ROULSTON The controversial 1976 Olym- pics of Montreal are just around the corner. No doubt when they come, I like many Canadians, will be disappointed because of the poor showing of our Canadian team. Though the Canadian team appears to be the strongest we've put together in a long time, it will likely win few medals against the powerful teams of the United States, Russia and East Germany. Every time the Olympics rolled around in the past I used to wonder what the other countries were doing right and what we were doing wrong. Of late though, I've started wondering if we're right after all the other countries are wrong: or rather, if we're the sane one and they are nuts. Last week an excellent Canadian gymnast Jennifer Dichun quit competitive gymnas- tics because she said she couldn't abandon her education in quest of a medal at the 1976 Olympics. In order to be ready for the Olympics, she said, she would have to dedicate her whole time toward practice. She could not afford the time to continue her education. She also needed money to continue this dedication toward a sport: money to keep her alive while she practiced nearly steadily; money to help pay travel expenses to meets; money for equipment and instruction. It's getting to be a common story as the new, nationalistic Canada tries to build a strong competitive team in most sports. In diving, for instance, young teenagers like Cindy Shatto are taken hundreds. of miles away from their homes to be with their coach in a first-class facility such as at Winnipeg where they can practice hours a day, again to the detriment of schooling and normal development as a human being, In volleyball, our women's team has been gathered in British Columbia more than a year before the games under a strict coach from Korea who drives the women until they're ready to drop. Those women who refused to leave husbands, families and jobs to move to British Columbia just didn't have the chance to be on the team. As far as winning goes, it's a lot better than the old system. I remember watching the trials in Toronto back in the winter of 1967 before the Pan American Games in Winnipeg the next summer. Teams. from across the country came to play for the national championship. Then an all star team of the players from the various teams was chosen and these men and girls were assembled a couple of weeks before the games and drilled until the competition began. They were slaughtered by the almost pro- fessional teams from the other nations. 1 think Canada has always been second rate in athletics before because the majority of athletes have been unwilling to sacrifice everything else in life: schooling, family, social lifc, jobs, in order to devote all their time to achieving excellence in a sport. Other countries, because of the high nationalistic tendances, had little trouble finding dedicated athletes who would given their all in sports just as soldiers were willing to given their all on the battle field. The Americans in particular have been driven by this nationalism. Just the pride of being chosen to the Olympic team is enough to last a lifetime. To win a gold medal is like winning the Purple Heart, Countries like Russian and East Germany are even more dedi- cated to winning on a national scale, however. Sport in these countries is another branch of the government, like the army and the secret service. The national sporting team serves the same purpose as the official part newspaper: propaganda. So they have athletes not only spending all their time on perfection, but teams of scientist working on how to get the most performance out of the human system. Now, • it seems, the ,athlete is just a tool for the researcher. We're seeing the same thing in hockey, The Russians took all our knowledge of the game and went to work with computers and all sorts of fancy hardware to find out how to win at hockey scientifi- cally. After the two Team Canada series, Canadians are now avidly doing the same thing. We hear the talk of more scientific hockey so that we train our hockey players so they can squeeze the utmost out of themselves physi- cally and so we can program plays with computer efficiency. I'm not sure 1 like the trend. There seems to already be too much organization in hockey these days and not enough time left for fun. That, after all is what hockey, or any other sport is all about isn't it? Sure we need some organized sports but to me hockey is a lot better if you leave the kids out on an outdoor rink with a hockey puck and let them go to it. It's not very scientific, to be sure, 4z4caft) UR GS but that kind of hockey turned out a player called Gordie Howe, probably the greatest hockey player who ever played the game and who at age 46 was still able to match the computerized Russian stars who burn themselves out at 30. Sure it isn't guaranteed to fill the enlarged big leagues with the crop of superstars they need more and more of; sure it isn't going to assure we can win the world championship in hockey. but in the long run, does it really matter? The world goes on, even if the Leafs get clobbered and if the Russians whip Team Canada. It doesn't mean ours is any worse a country than theirs. In fact, to my mind I mean we're better because we keep our priorities straight and let our sports remain fun, not some high-pressure, national -prods building circus.
