O.M.B. drain approval averts
construction stalemate
Verbal approval from the Ontario -
Municipal Board for the -.Issuing of
debentures for the new storm sewer on the
east side of Blyth was received by
Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh Tuesday
morning.
The approval heads off a potentially
sticky situation for local builders and
prospective home owners which arose from
a resolution passed on Monday night's
council meeting.
The resolution called for the council to
not approve any more building permits in
the village until approval for the storm
sewer had been received. Councillor
William Howson made the notion after
hearing complaints about flooded base-
ments during the storm of April 18.19.
Councillors had heard several complaints
since the storm and two delegates were
present at the meeting to discuss the
situation. Mrs. William Radford whose
basement was flooded in the 'storm felt that
the number of new houses constructed in
recent years had contributed to the
problem. James Chalmers was also present
to detail his complaints about the flood.
`Councillor Howson agreed that the
additional run-off water from roofs of
houses could contribute to the overload of
the present drain system, With that in
mind, he said, he moved that no new
building permits be issued until approval
for the new drain was received.
The drain, under consideration for over a
year, had been approved by all levels of
government but the Ontario Municipal
Board. Approval of the O.M.B. had to be
received before the village could issue
debentures for its share of the cost which
will be close to $50,000..
The whole matter seemed to be resolved
on Tuesday, however, when the O.M.B.
gave its approval by telephone of the
project's financing. in addition, Mr. Walsh
said, the engineer for the project, B.M.
Ross and Associates of Goderich said
tenders for the project would be called
immediately.
The no building permit edict affected
only one application at the May meeting,
an application from the Maitland Tele-
services Limited to extend its building to
the cast of its present location on Dinsley
Street.

'Two local service groups have announc-
ed plans to contribute new facilities to the
community.
Officials of the Blyth Branch of the Royal
Canadian Legion informed the. Blyth
recreation committee on Wednesday night
that they were willing to contribute a new
front curtain and blinds for the windows in
Memorial Hall theatre. Arrangements are
to be made to have the curtains installed in
the hall through the recreation committee,
The Ladies Auxiliary to the Legion had
earlier donated money towards improve-
ments at the Hall.
The Blyth Lions Club asked at Monday
night's council meeting. for permission to
use the town's property in front of the
Lion's Park (the old tennis court property)
on Queen Street for the installation of four
lanes initially with the possibility of
another four being added later. Plans for a
new clubhouse facilitiy where the present
change rooms are for the Lions wading
pool. The new building would contain
washrooms, a locker room and a common
room for viewing the action on the lanes.
The Lions hope, according to information
revealed at the council meeting, to install
the sod for the lanes this year with the
construction of the additional facilities next
year.
Farmers told to cut accidents or face tough legislation
Ontario's farmers were warned Thurs-
day night to cut down on the accident rate
on farms or face tough government safety
regulations.
Paul Steckle of Zurich, Chairman of the
Huron Farm Safety Committee told
members of the' Huron County Federation
of Agriculture at their monthly meeting in
Clinton that he can foresee in the near
future the. Ontario government bringing in
a Farm Safety Act to force tighter safety
regulations on the agricultural industry.
There is already legislation in effect in
California, British Columbia and Michigan
he said, which enforced roll-over protection
on farm tractors. it won't be long before it
comes into effect in Ontario, he said. "If
we don't pull up our bootstraps," he
warned, "we'll be dealing with an act that
isn't viable for us to live with."
He said the safety record of the
agricultural industry is not good. Every
industry but agriculture, he said, has
safety standards. He said that if farmers
could tidy up their own industry and bring
down accident rafes, they would not only
cut down on the waste of one of the most
important resources, human life, but would
also lower the Workmen's Compensation
rates charged for farm coverage and
influence the kind of legislation the
government might bring in to cover farm
safety.
Regarding Workmen's Compensation
Board coverage, Mr. Steckle said that the
law states that every farmer needs W.C.B.
coverage if he employs an employee for
even so much as a half a day. This
included, he warned, exchange of labour
with other farmers. Every employee in the
province is covered by Workmen's
Compensation even if the employer does
not have coverage, The W.C.B. however,
can count the employer liable for•damages
caused by on -job accidents. One of these
days, he said, he expects the W.C.B. to
start cracking down on farm accidednts
even if they haven't in the past.
He gave a slide presentation showing the
effects on dummies of roll-overs of tractors
without roll-over protection and with
roll-over protection. Nearly all tractor
companies in North American now have
roll-over protective cabs, he said and
although the cost of $2,000 or more may
seem like a lot of money, it is good
insurance, he said. He said many farmers
buying the new cabs are buying them not
so much for roll-over protection but for
protection from sound. The new cabs as
well being stronger in case of accident are
much more sound -proof making for amore
enviable environment for the operator,
He said he had never heard of a farmer
being killed in a roll-over r c a tractor with
roll-over protection and wi 11 seat belts that
were in use.
He also warned that small children seem
to be the most vulnerable in farm accidents
with the rate highest in the age group of
2-4. He himself had lost a three year old
daughter in a farm accident in which hwas
not personally involved. "No one ever
forgets," he said.
Preventing accidents is a matter of
County's attempt to cut
The Blyth Village Council reacted
unanimously to send back to the Huron
County Library the Library's attempt to cut
its own rent for the coming year.
The Library has been paying $600 a year
for the use of the library portion of the
municipal building on Queen Street. The
Library sent through a letter to the council
saying that in 1975 it wanted to pay only
$500,
Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh explained
that upkeep costs for the building totalled
nearly $400 last year, though this did
include heating for the clerk -treasurer's
office as well as the library portion of the
building.
The councillors remarked that the
present rent was very inexpensive and they
felt the reduction was not acceptable,
In other business, Councillor William
Howson reported on the condition of
streets and sidewalks in the village after a
tour of the village with Councillor Con Van
Vliet. He said there are some problem
concentrating on the job you're doing;
anticipating what could happen and being
prepared for it if it does, and considering
the other people involved.
Preventing accidents takes extra time
and effort he said, but it's worth it.

areas but that in general the streets are in
good condition. Repairs are to be made on
those areas that boiled up from the frost
this yeawr and repairs are scheduled for
some sidewalks. Bad spots on the
sidewalks will be. repaired with asphalt.
A meeting of the Huron
Municipal Officers is to be held in Bayfield
on May 14 with Mr. Walsh and perhaps
some of the councillors attending. Under
discussion with the province's Ontario
Dome Renewal Program which could make
up to $29,000 available to qualified Blyth
home owners for renovations to the homes
that are needed such as a bathroom if there
isn't one already in the house, replacement
of faulty wiring, new drainage or repair of a
faulty roof: The village would have to
administer and police such a program to
prevent abuses.
Councillor Van Vliet reported from the
recreation committee meeting and on a
tour of the arena which pointed out various
small jobs to be done,

NEW SEAFORTH PRINCIPAL
During Monday's regular
1975. PG. 3.
meeting of the Huron County
Board of Education, director John
Cochrane announced that Bruce
Shaw has been named principal at
Seaforth District High School.
Shaw who has served as
vice-principal at the Scaforth
school for two years roplaces the
retiring L. Plumsteel. The princi-
pal's position has been held by
Mr. Plumsteel for the past 27
years.
Board of Education eliminates jobs of 2 vice -principals
BY ROSS HAUGH
The positions of vice-principal
at two South Huron elementary
schools will not be filled for the
1975-76 school term according to
a decision made by the Huron
County Board. of Education
Monday afternoon,
Acting on the recommendation
of director of education John
Cochrane, the board agreed to
leave the vice-principal posts at
Stephen Central and Usborne
Central open for at least one year.
Larry Black, currently vice-
principal at Usborne Central will
be moving to a similar position at
Exeter public school in the fall to
replace Gary Jewitt who will be
taking over as acting principal at
Brookside public school.
The present Stephen vice-
principal, Mrs. Sharon Soldan has
submitted her resignation effec-
tive September 1, 1975.
In making the recommendation
against replacements director
John Cochrane said board policy
did not permit appointment of
vice -principals in schools having
an adjusted September enrolment
of less than 300 pupils..
The projected September
adjusted enrolment for Stephen
and Usborne Central schools is
305 and 307, respectively.
• Cochrane continued, "in view
of the fact these schools are both
in declining enrolment situations,
1 hesitate to appoint vice -princi-
pals for a year and then have to
demote them or carry them as
surplus to requirement."
Usborne principal Bill Linfield,
at the meeting as an r',server said
he would require an intermediate
teacher to replace his vice-
principal.
APPROVE STORM SEWER
The board accepted a quotation
from C.A. McDowell Limited of
Centralia to construct a storm
sewer which is expected to
alleviate the current flooding
problems at the administration
offices in Clinton.
The Centralia firm will connect
a 10 -inch sewer pipe from the
Board of Education catch basin
•at►d join it with the 48 -inch main
which crosses Highway 4, at
Princess street,
The quotation was $2,995,60
for a 10 inch concrete storm sewer
and $3,975.25 for a 15 inch storm
sewer installation. Trustee Bob
Peck assured board members that
the 10 inch sewer pipe would be
adequate to do the job.
During discussion of the
flooding problem, director John
Cochrane said "during a heavy
rainstorm of two weeks ago, a
custodian was here most of the
night sweeping water out the
door." •
Cochrane continued, "We uSu-
ally have this problem two or
three times a year. There is a lot
of valuable equipment in the
basement."
TO INVITE QUOTATIONS.
After considerable discussion
and amendments to an original
motion the board agreed to use
the method of inviting 'competi-
tive quotations for any mainten-
ance projects,.
The subject was first brought
up in July of 1974 when plant
superintendent R. McVean said
fewer than ever tradesmen and
contractors were interested in
submitting tenders for the work
specified in the board's current
maintenance project require-
ments. McVean said he felt it
would be increasingly difficult to
have essential repairs guaranteed
under the present system of base
bid tendering.
In a Monday recommendation
that quotations be invited, super-
intendent of business . affairs,
R.B. Dunlop said, "it is our
opinion that after six years of
business . we have developed a
fairly good knowledge of the
integrity and skills of a fair
cross-section of the county's
tradesmen and contractors."
His brief also suggested that
I
such quotations be priced either
on a firm price or a time and
material basis.
In supporting, Dunlop's
suggestions, director Cochrane
said, "Time is a problem with
public tendering.''
Vice-chairman Herb Turkheim
suggested that with a quotations
system from established firms
any new contracting firms would
not be getting a fair chance.
The board agreed to place an
ad in the weekly papers once a
year to advice tradesmen of the
jobs corning up in th enext year.
LIABILITY INSURANCE
INCREASED
The general liability insurance
carried by the Huron Board of
Education will be doubled from
one to two million dollars.
R, B. Dunlop told board
members the matter of amounts
of liability insurance first became
a concern recently when a court
award was made to a British
Columbia high school student for
a million and a half dollars when
he was paralyzed for life during
physical education classes.
The Frank Cowan insurance
Company of Princeton also
advised that recent awards in the
automobile field have exceeded a
million dollars.
Gaiser-Kneale insurance of
Exeter submitted a quote of
$4,871 for the two million
liability. This is an increase of
$922 over the current policy which
has a liability limit of one million.

Board members agreed that the
management committee should
make arrangements to have all

R. B. Dunlop said most
coverage included escalating
clauses which protected the_board
from increased costs in replace-
ments.
MUSIC POLL IN WINGHAM
As the result of a request by
Wingham trustee Jack Alexan-
der, a poll will be taken of parents
of senior elementary students in
the Wingham area and the first
three grades at F. E. Madill
secondary school regarding a
music program.
Director John Cochrane said a
similar poll in 1972 showed only
four students were interested in
music as a credit course at 'that
time. •
Alexander said a lot of
Wingham parents were concern-
ed that their children were going
to a high school without a music
program.
When one member suggested
the program could be started as
extra curricular, Cochrane com-
mented, "That's how it started in
Goderich. First as extra curricular
and then as a credit."
Cochrane also cautioned, "As a
credit course there are a lot of
academics involved. Music is
much more than just playing an
instrument-."
Superintendent J. W. Coulter
commented, "There may be a lot
of interest, but what subject does
a student drop to make room for
music."
John R. Ball, a teacher at
Seaforth District High School was
granted permission to be nomin-
ated to the Deparment of Nation
Defence School System Overseas.
It was agreed that a comparable
position would be available to Mr.
Ball in Huron after completion of
a two year term overseas.

Other side not all right
The Western world seems to have done a complete turnaround in the
past decade on the situation in Southeast Asia.
A scant 10 years ago the fast majority of people in our country and
most of our friends countries pictured the Communist rebels in'
countries like Vietnam and Laso and Cambodia as tire breathing fiends
who lived only for the pleasure of slaughtering helpless peasants. Now,
it seems, we've come to the view that the rebels are the good guys and
the government that have just recently been overthrown were all a
bunch of rascals.
Anyone Who listened to a recent interview with the former head of
the Vietnamese embassy in Ottawa on the radio, however, has to
question this assumption. He freely admitted that his former
government was not at its best. However, as he pointed out, it's hard to
be democratic in a time of war. Our own country, you will remember,
did some pretty dispicable things during the Second World War. The
October Crisis proved that that even in the 1970's n'e aren't beyond
reacting in fear to situations of imagined danger. '
We somehow now forget the fact that thousands of people have been
killed by the Communists. We only remember those killed by the
Americans of Vietnamese. But both sides have been guilty of
atrocities. Despite the pious utterings of the Viet Cong there may be
vicious massacres of former fears of such reprisals in Cambodia where
a news blackout has been imposed ever since the new government took
over.
No, neither side was right. Both were a good deal wrong.
We who sat back and watched the happenings in the countries of
southeast Asia can only hope that at last the people of those countries
will find peace. And we can only hope that the thinking of the war
protestors was right: that the takeover of Vietnam and Cambodia to the
Communists will not lead to attempts to create civil war in other
countries in the arca. If it happens, we'll all be tragically duped by the
Communists,
Left out again
Olympic tickets went on sale in Canada on Monday and the whole
thing proved a horrible mess.
The lineups in those places where tickets were on sale were so long
that few people actually got to buy their tickets. But at least they had a
chance if they were in large cities like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver,
or even London or Kitchener, That's a lot more than people in rural and
northern areas got.
The Canadian Olympic Committee blew it when they assigned the
job of selling tickets to the T. Eaton Company, Eatons has only 80
stores across the country, all in large centres. Areas of the west,
northern Ontario and the Yukon and Northwest Territories are
hopelessly remote from these stores. Even in rural areas of Ontario and
Quebec it becomes a major effort to just get a chance to stand in line to
buy tickets.
We're constantly being told that the Olympics belong to all
Canadians. If so, it's too bad the 'Olympic committee decided that a
good many of. us aren't really Canadians after all.

Conservative party though few people seem willing to admit they're
candidates.
One of the most reluctant is Peter Lougheed, Alberta Premier and
golden boy of the party. Mr. Lougheed keeps saying he's not interested
but people keep mentioning his name anyway. One of the reasons Mr.
Lougheed has said he won't seek the leadership is because his fight to
win a fairer price for Albert oil and gas has alienated the huge voter
blocks of the central provinces.
But this corner, at least, has a great deal of admiration for the battle
of Mr. Lougheed, and most people looking at the long -run situation are
likely to agree.
Mr. Lougheed has said to heck with the status quo. Why, he has
asked, should parts of the country like Alberta, be expected to go along
for the rest of history being mere suppliers of raw materials for the
huge manufacturing appetities of eastern Canada? Why shouldn't
some of that job -producing manufacturing be spread out into the West
and other areas of the country?
Why, asks Mr. Lougheed and other westerners, should it be cheaper
to ship raw materials cast than the final manufactured items?
This whole country seems to be structured toward the' continued
growth of the areas around Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, This is
not only foolish, but dangerous. These cities are on the best farming
areas in the country. They are already overcrowded and growth in them
is now becoming extremely uneconomical. From a military point of
view, in this day and age of nuclear warfare it is ridiculous to
concentrate the major portion of the population of the country in a few
large cities where they could be wiped out with a very few hydrogen
bombs.
Everything argues against this continued concentration of growth in
southern Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. Everything, that is,
except the big business establishment that dominates the country,
including the present political structure.
For this reason it would be refreshing to see a strong voice from the
West like Mr. Lougheed at the head of a major political party. The
question is, if he got the leadership, could be then go against the odds
and win an election so that he could indeed start to restructure the
nation. Let's hope so,

The extent to which the radio
habit is developing in Canada, is
furnished by the statement that
there are 15,000 sets in use in the
city of Ottawa. That means a
radio for every eight persons. The
same percentage will be in use in
other cities and in many towns. At
an average price of $100, this
would mean an outlay of $1.5
million in Ottawa alone, Only a
few years ago a family was doing
well to purchase a cabinet organ.
Then followed the piano. Of late
years the gramophone was a
great attraction and is still tg
some extent. Now conies the
radio. The money expended in the
manufacture of all these instru-
ments of education and entertain-
nment has furnished much employ-
ment and given great pleasure,
but the question arises: Can the
country afford such a Targe
-investment in non-productive
enterprises?
Report from Queen's Park
Davis says he's against gas hike
BY MURRAY GAUNT,M.P.P.,
(HURON -BRUCE)
Premier Davis has indicated
that he strongly opposes any
proposed increase in the price of
natural gas. He had previously
taken a similar stand with respect
to oil prices.
Ontario has calculated that the
field price increase approval by
an Alberta Arbitration Board this
week will translate into an
additional cost of $120 a year for
the average Ontario family using
natural gas for cooking and
heating.
The price increase would add
more than $550 million to the cost
of natural gas used by provincial
consumers.
The first 1,000 grants to first
home buyers were mailed out this
week, About 20,000 inquiries
about the grants have been
received at Queen's Park, A total
of $55 million has been set aside
for the programme this year.
The Ontario Government will
provide $25 million worth of
special interest loans this year to
farmers 18-35 years old to help
them avoid borrowing at high
interest rates to get started in
business.
Few attend theatre meeting
Only one local organization and

Theatre,
The only local organization to
send an observer was the

Plans for the coming summer
were discussed and suggestions
were welcomed from those

they would like to see produced.
Considerable discussion took
place on the Tong -range goals of
the organization as well as the
immediate needs.
Incorporation of the body is
being looked after by Gerald
Hiltz, Clinton lawyer. James Roy
reported that word on what
government grants are available
should be upcoming later this
month.
He also said there has been
considerable interest already on
the part of actors in Toronto.
Letters to the editor

The students of "Blyth '77"
would like to introduce them-
selves to the community in which
they will be working this summer.
This community includes the
village of Blyth, the surrounding
areas, and anyone who. has lived
here and can help us in our work.
"Blyth '77" is a centennial
project which has been funded by
OFY for the purpose of research-
ing and writing a colourful history
of "Our town". This will involve
some newspaper and statistical
research as well as personal
interviews with people who
remember when....
The emphasis of the book will
be on telling it like it was" in
anecdotal form (with pictures!) If
you havo any old pictures, letters,
diaries or stories that you can tell,
regarding Blyth or its inhabitants ,
during the last 100 years, your
assistance would be gratefully
welcome. Ml materials will be
carefully handled and returned
after use.
We are starting to get excited
about the project and hope that
the community will get involved
and help us where they can.
'I'o request an interview or let
us know of information, phone
523-4266 or write "Blyth '77",

The Editor:
1t is now almost a year since the
Council of Huron County delegat-
ed the management of the Huron
Historic Jail to a Board of
interested citizens. We. consider
the year to have been successful
in that more than 7;000 people,
not counting school tours, took
time to visit the building.
The .Board is now beginning a
project which will take several
years, that of furnishing .the
governor's house in the fashion of
1900 when it was built. This is
being done under the supervision
of Mrs. Dorothy Duncan,
museums advisor, from the
Ministry of Culture and Recrea-
tion. In an attempt to provide
furnishings and all details which
will be authentic we are seeking
guidance from pictures of
interiors of that period. If any of
your readers have such pictures
we would be most grateful if they
would loan then to us for a time
for our study. Anyone who is
willing to do so may send then to
the' following address:
Mrs. J. W. Wallace,

in hearing from anyone who has
furniture of that period which is in
prime condition either for sale or
on loan for exhibition in the
house.

'1'I1c government will also
double its special grants to
Northern Ontario farmers this
year, according to Agriculture
Minister William Stewart.
The Ontario Young Farmers
Credit Programme will provide
the guaranteed bank loans for
young farmers, There is no limit
on the amount of each loan. The
loans will be for 10 years. During
the first two years, the farmer will
repay only the interest on the
loan. For the remaining years, he
will repay both interest and
principal. The interest rate will be
1 per cent higher than the prime
lending rate at the time,
Mr. Stewart said about half of
the agricultural school graduates
arc now returning to work on
farms within two years of
graduation.
The Electoral Boundaries Act
and the Election Expenses Act
both received third reading this
week. Both arc considered
essential before the call of an
election.
The Government has agreed to
match dollar for dollar any money
raised locally to assist those
people who suffered damage in
the recent flood. Any arca
interested in the programme
should establish a local commit-
tee to raise money. As soon as
this is clone the committee should

The Editor,
This letter is sent to let you
know that the " Wingham 'and
District Association for the
Mentally Retarded, as a member
of the Canadian Association for
the Mentally Retarded, will be
joining in a nationwide member-
ship recruitment effort in May.
The week of May 11 to 17 has
been designated as National

to attract new members, we will
spotlight the needs of the
retarded, and the services we are
providing and seeking to provide
in the Wingham District. Flowers
of Hope marigold seeds, will be
sent to every household in the
district. In order that those who
receive these Flowers of Hope
packages do not overlook their
importance as a means of appeal,
we feel it necessary to substan-
tiate the Flowers of Hope letters
with advertising in newspapers,
on radio and 011 television.
Anything you can do to
interpret our story of the needs of -
the retarded in our district will be
of inestimable value to us. We are
now making plans for the
construction of a new nursery
school building to accomodate
retarded pre-school children. We
' are also in the beginning stages of
an Adult Workshop for the people
in the Wingham District. We are
in desperate need of new
members in our Association to
help with these projects. We have
done a great deal for the retarded
in our arca, but there is so much
more that needs to be done.
We would like to express •
sincere appreciation on behalf of
the Wingham and District

Retarded for your continuing
co-operation and assistance in
bringing our message to the
public.

Dr. Bezner,
at Pro Life
Approximately 70 members of
the Goclerich and District Pro Life
Association attended an "Infor-
mation Seminar" at the Goderich
District Collegiate -institute on
Wednesday evening, April 23.
The video tape "In Whose
Hands' was viewed. This tape
had been made by Doctor L' L. de
Veber for the London School-
board. Co-chairman Mrs. Connie
Osborn welcomed everyone, esp-
ecially members of The Voice Of
The Unborn, the Wingham Pro
Life Group. Mrs. Osborn intro-
duced the guest speaker, Doctor
Hart Bezner, B.Sc., Ph.D.Phy•
sics.
Doctor Bezner illustrated his
topic of "Personal Freedom And
Social Justice" by explaining, "In
order to preserve Social Justice,
the law sometimes curbs our
personal freedom. As with a
person we have no use for and
who upsets us a great deal, the
law prevents us from hiring
,someone to. kill that person to
satisfy our personal feelings. The
Law falls short, however, when it
refuses to give the same
protection to the unborn who is
biologically and scientifically also
a person. The mother has no use
for the baby, it upsets her greatly
so she hires someone to kill the
child and the Law silently stands
by.
A lot of meditation has gone
into the making up of our Laws.
Our Legal system has been
advancing to a higher calibre •
recognizing the rights of Children
- Immigrants, and it was in 1928
when the law first recognized the
woman as a person: A strange
twist occurred with the Abortion
Amendment in 1969 which pulled
the whole legal system from an
extremely involved plateau to a
more unconscious level. The
consequences to this was that the
Individual in Society is exposed to
more dangers because they are
not as- well protected from the
random acts of other people.
Little has been done in the Legal
System in recognizing the
"Rights of the Unborn" who is
biologically and scientifically also
a person
Some 150,000 innocent unborn
children have been legally de-
stroyed in hospitals. The illegal
activity is just as great as the
legal activity, this making a total
of 300,000 children in Canada
who have lost their lives. 501,000
persons are directly involved.
The 300,000 mothers, the 200,000
speaker
meeting
fathers who knew (some didn't
know) plus the 1,000 Doctors and
Social Workers, something that
was unthinkable before the law
was changed in 1969. The act of
killing unwanted children will
certainly overflow into society and
cause us to pity the unwanted
• living and will lead to their
illimination, also. It is now up to
society to decide the value of
human life and to protect that life
from conception on. Doctor
Bezner was thanked by Reverend
Marvin Barz. A gift of money was,
gracefully accepted.

routines of the school and
classrooms.
Numerous parents accepted
this invitation to visit the school
during Education Week,
OPEN HOUSE
An open house was held at
Hullett on Wednesday night,
April 23, From 7:30 to 10:00
o'clock, the students were given
the chance to show their parents
and friends their classrooms and
the rest of the school. All the
teachers were present to discuss
any courses about which parents
had questions.
During the open house, the
school volleyball teams played
against the adults who participate
in the Wednesday night recreat-

boys' school team played the men
first, winning the best two out of
three games, with scores of 18.16
Apply fertilizer wisely
Do you know that one ton of
anhydrous ammonia requires
approximately 36,000 cubic feet
of natural gas? Over 50 percent of
the energy input to grow, harvest,
and dry a crop of grain corn is
used in fertilizer production.
To assist in using energy
wisely, the food producers of
Ontario should review their
fertilizer application program,
suggest Agricultural Engineers of
the Ministry of Agriculture and
Food.
There is no doubt that the
increased use of fertilizer has
increased crop yields and provid-
ed a good payback. However,
other materials, such as crop
residues and animal Wastes, are
able to supply some plant
nutrients'and should be consider-
ed in the fertilizer program. The
booklet, "1975 Field Crop
Recommendations", available
from the county and district
offices of the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food provides a
number of adjustments. For
example: when a 50 percent
legume sod is plowed down, the
equivalent of 100 pounds of
nitrogen per acre will be available
the following year. Similarly, the
application of 20 tons per acre of
solid cattle or swine waste, or 5
tons of poultry waste, will also
provide 100 pounds of nitrogen

Several issues discussed at Huron -Perth Presbytery meeting
After considerable debate the
members of Huron -Perth Presby-
tery of the United Church of
Canada, meeting in Fullarton on
April 22, questioned the support
its highest Court, General Council
has given to the California Grape
and Lettuce Boycott, A resoltuion
was passed asking the General
Council to: (1) Meet 'with the
other Church bodies that joined
with it in the Boycott issue, to
ye -examine the whole situation,
and (2) Institute a study, from the
viewpoint of Christian ethics, into
the economic forces being used
today. c.g. boycotts, strikes, crop
destruction, excess profits, car -
tells and monopolies.
The meeting dealt with two
other social issues during the
day -long session. Rev. John
Beaton of Centralia, introduced a
motion asking that Presbytery
strongly object to the change in
Ontario Law that allows children
to drink alcoholic beverages at
home. Notice of this action is to
be sent to the Government of
Ontario,
The Division of World Out-
reach, under the chairmanship of
Rev, George Ball of Milverton,
also presented a notion involving
the Ontario Government. It asked
that all members of United
Church congregations write per-
sonal letters to Premier William
Davis, urging the Ontario
Gover•nnicnt to, "match dollar -
for -dollar, the monies given
voluntarily by the citizens of
Ontario through international
agencies and churches for sod -
economic, self-help development
programs in the third wolyd."
This is a similar resolution that
was contained in 0 Brief
presenting to the Government in
January by the Ontario Council of
Churches.
Rcv. Walton Tonge, of Ste-
wardship Services of the United
Church, was the guest of
Presbytery in the afternoon, and
made a major presentation on a
new visitation program, : the
"Commitment Plan". Mr, Tonge
has been touring Canada intro-
ducing the plan, which has been
developed by 15 Denominations
in the U.S. and Canada. The
Church too, he said, needs to
make adjustments in a period of
recession, and thus the need for a
unified approach. The Church
begins with commitment, and
that is what the plan first seeks to
increase. It used. the terminology
of football to generate interest
and understanding, and comes
with a series of kits.
Mr. Tongc enthusiastically
concluded that churches who use
the program can be assured for 3
results: 1, A deepened spiritual
life in the congregation; 2. The
involvment of people in great
numbers; 3. increased givings,
Until 1965 Mr. Tongc had
been a missionary in China, and
he also offered some comments
on the Mid -East situation, He had
predicted upon his return to
Canada, that China would one
' day dominate Asia, He then went
on to say that, "1 ani convinced
that the form of Communism that
is now taking over Viet Nam and
Cambodia, is far different that the
type of which we normally think.
In fact, he felt that it was the best'
alternative to the corruption that
• now exists in these Countries. We
• can have no idea of what goes on,
he said and thus it will take a
"puritanical, highly -disciplined
group" to overcome it. He
concluded, however, that great
good will eventually come after a
five to ten year period of
Coniniunist domination. The
people will one day develop their
own government and future.

From the minister's study
Ascension Day on
May 8
BY TED HOOGSTEEN
BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH
There is much printed in ecclesiastical periodicals about the decline
of the Church. It is a matter of anguish for the faithful in Christ Jesus
who see the Church wane in the Western world; the mood of
accommodation to society at large is strong in our churches.
In one way, this happens with the celebration of Christ's ascension.
Church people generally find it more convenient to keep the Son of man
on earth in their call for love and brotherhood. That takes away the
sharpness of the Gospel that this same Jesus who was raised from the
dead and ascended into heaven will come again to judge the living and
the dead. If Christ's ascension is ignored or forgotten, then His
lordship over all people and the whole earth does not seen so pressing.
This year, May, 8 is recognized among Christians throughout the
world as Ascension Day, in which to remember and celebrate the
historical event of Christ going to heaven after His resurrection from
the dead. For Christ -believers this is a day of joy and satisfaction.
Christ has gone to where He can rule heaven and earth and build his
Church. His believers He has judged already; they are, in His death on
the cross, righteous before God, and need have no fear of the final
judgement, and they remember with longing in the Ascension Christ's
promise to return and renew, perfect the whole universe.
The ascended Lord is building his Church; it may be on the wane in
the Western world, but in the communist bloc in the Third World
nations, the Church is on the rise. If Christ is not appreciated and
worshipped in one country, He will establish his Church elsewhere.
Still, He calls His Church throughout the world to remember His life
on earth and the purpose for which He came, to save the lost, and to
remember His promise that He will be with his Church to the end of the
world, a purpose and a promise which demands from all who call
themselves Christian a specific response.

BY BILL SMILEY
One of the things about modern
society that bothers me is mouthy
minorities attempting to impose
their wishes on silent majorities.
Another is the attempt by those
who profess a pro -found belief in
a vaue concept called "progress"
to find the common denominator
in everything, and try to shove
the rest of us in that direction.
Sometimes I have a nightmare
about the future. in it, I see the
entire earth populated by beings,
no longer humans, who look alike,
talk alike, think alike, and even
smell alike.
Everyone will be a sort of
creamy yellow brown in comple-
xion. We'll all be the same height
and weight. All individual anotia
lies such as hooked noses, buck
teeth and jutting ears will have
been eliminated,
wake up from this dream'
screaming, at the point where i
am just about to be told that we
are all of the same sex.
In the dream, everyone will
speak the same language, some
type of bastard speech like
Esperanto. Literature will be
extinct, except for a few scholars
studying its fossilized remnants.
Shades of meaning will be lost. "1
love , you," ",ie t'adore," and
"Eu to amo," will all come out as
"Yochamo" or something of the
sort. •
In the dream, there are no
decisions to be made, because
there will no longer be any
difference between right and
wrong, black and white, good and
. evil. Television will tell us what to
think, painlessly, and why.
We will all smell alike •• a
subtle essence with traces of
Chinese elm, Russian borscht,
Congo musk and American b.s.
We will all arise when the
universal siren sounds. In unison,
at the appointed moment, we will
take our breakfast pill, our pep
pill to get us going, our
tranquilizer to slow us down for
our lunch pill, another pep pill, a
dinner pill, and at 2245 hours. we
will simultaneously swallow our
sleeping pills and become uncon-
scious for six hours and forty-
eight seconds.
But each evening, before
retiring, we • will have our
universal culture and recreation
period. Something like counting
our toes.
It's only a nightmare, but each
year that I live, the picture seems
closer and clearer. One of these
days I'm afraid 1 won't wake up.
Two of the most recent steps by
mouthty minorities and the
people who cherish common
denominators are the forced
application of Celsius temper-
atures and the metric system.
Did anyone ask you if you
wanted to switch from Fahrenheit
to Celsius? No. Did anyone' ask
me? No. Did anyone ask either of
us if we wanted to "think
metric'"? Sante answer.
I am used to attempts to
brainwash me by politicians,
newspapers, experts, and my
wife. That is what they are for,
and at (cast I can fight back,
But I deeply resent simply
being told by some Ottawa
ostriches and their stooges in the
media that 1 must, willy-nilly,
switch to Celsius thermometer
and metric weights and mea-
sures.
1 ant a reasonable man, i hope.
If someone convinces me that
something is for the common
a good, even though it inconven-
iences tic, I'll go along with it.
Example; at this very moment,
the government is removing
money front me, who has never
been unemployed, and giving it to
some lazy bunt who wants not to
work. This is known as unemploy-
ment insurance, In the same way
i ant helping subsidize other
It's metric madness
people's food, medical care,
housing. Not a word of complaint.
But what gets me is the
arrogant attitude that typifies
those who espouse Celsius and
metric. They do not present one
valid (to me) reason for the
changes. They say vaguely that
everyone else is doing it.
So what? if the latest fad is
joining the Flat Earth Society,
must I become a member? 1f
everyone else is picking his nose
in public, docs that mean that I
should, too?
Metric maniacs insist that
metric is more accurate. More
accurate than what? is a
thousandth of a centimeter more
accurate than a thousandth of an
inch? Of course not, It is merely
shorter. Or longer. I'm not sure
which, and I don't give a diddle.
Canadians, with their wild
extremes of climate and vast
expanse of geography, should
battle this so-called "progress"
with every ounce of their
strength. Yes, the word was
"ounce." Do you realize that will
soon be a dirty word, if the metric
marauders have their way?
Canada would lose its very
flavor as a nation should we allow
this ntctric- Celsius pap to flow
over us and flatten us into a dull
facsimile of all those other dull
nations.
For one thing, it would cripple
our conversation, 60 per cent of
which begins with a pseudo -
complaint about the heat or the
cold.
It would destroy our idiots.
Can you imagine our hero
"centintetering" his way along
the narrow ledge, rather than
"inching"?
"He's all wool and a meter
wide" doesn't exactly stir me,
Nor does, "Third clown and a
meter, 40 centimeters to go for
Winnipeg."
Well, the varmints haven't
heard the last of me. This is only a
skirmish. 13ul I need reinforce-
ments. ' Come on, all you
thousands who deplore the
change. Let's hear front you. Fire
off a letter to your editor, for a
start. 'Then we'll roll up the big
guns.

TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
THE TORONTOLA SYNDICATE
Here's a 13 -year-old who has never lived in the country but it's
his idea of paradise. Donald very much hopes he will be adopted
by a farm family. He likes the country, the space, the animals
and he hopes that on a farm he could have a dog.
Donald is a good-looking boy, tall and sturdily built with
blonde hair, wide -set blue eyes, fair skin and freckles. He is in
good health, but hyperactive, always on the go. For this reason
his social worker hopes his dream of a farm home comes true
since there is always something to do on a farm.
Donald is in Grade Seven, considered a slow learner. He is
doing better this year, especially in spelling. He likes working
with his hands and is good at using tools. He is interested in
carpentry and machinery. A helpful boy, Donald is always
ready to share any chores to be done at school or in his foster
home.
Since Donald gets on well with children of all ages, he could fit
into any size family. He especially needs a father who will enjoy
spending a lot of time with him and share his activities.
- To inquire about adopting Donald, please write to Today's
Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information,
consult your local Children's Aid Society.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: Will you
print this letter on Mother's Day?
It would mean a lot to me, 1 think
it might also mean a lot to others
who feel as I do but don't know
how to put it into words, I'm
having trouble myself because
I'ni not much of a writer, but i'll
do my best and pray that it's good
enough. It's to my mother.
DEAR MOM: I wish I could spend
Mother's Day with you but 1
cn't, so I'm writing a letter and
hope you read it in Ann Landers's
column.
Mom, 1 love you so much. So
many things that 1 didn't
understand when 1 was young,
understand now,
I didn't know how hurt you
were until I was hurt the same
way by my own children.
1 didn't realize how lonely you
were until I was lonely.
I didn't know how tough it was
when you were having trouble
with Dad and us kids. Now 1
know.
I didn't have any idea how hard
you worked and the burdens you
carried until 1 traveled that road
myself,
1 didn't know how many times 1
could have made you happy by
just saying, "1 love you, Mom."
But now 1 know what it would
mean to hear it from my children.
I didn't know how completely a
mother can love her children until
I grew up and had my own.
1t took me all my life to learn
what a mother is, I wish there
were some way 1 could let you
know 'how much 1 appreciate
everything you did •- and
everything you are. •
Thank you;. Mom, -for your years
of devotion and unselfishness,
your efforts to teach us by
Thousands of mothers will think
beautiful letter is
from their daughter
letter on this most appropriate
day will think perhaps it was
written by their daughter. My
thanks and God bless,
DEAR ANN LANDERS:This isn't
a complaint, it's a cry for help.
Please tell me what to do.
My husband is a well-
respected, successful profess-
ional man, He had his 50th
birthday four months ago. That's
when the trouble began.
It seems whenever we are out
in company lor have a group to
our home for dinner) he turns
every conversation to sex. He
asks people embarrassing per-
sonal questions that are none of
his business, When they hedge or
try to change the subject he keeps
after them like a bulldog.
Then he starts in with his dirty
stories. i don't know where he
hears such filth, He never
behaved like this before, it's all
so baffling because, to put it
bluntly, the man is over the hill,
And I mean completely. He began
to slow up about a year a o. Now
there is nothing doing. 1 ouldn't

DEAR RED: The poor fellow is
tipping his mitt. Non -performers
are invariably the ones who are
preoccupied with sex. Talking can
be substitute for action •- and
most people know it. Men who
are over the hill often have
one-track minds •• and that track
is usually muddy.

PG. 16, THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 7, 1975,
BY KEITH ROULSTON
Columnist Bill Smiley this
week's column gets in his licks at
the federal government for
implementing its program to
switch the country to metric
measurement. Who, he asks, was
consulted in the switch in the first
place to see if we really wanted it?
A good question? Unlike Mr.
Smiley, yours truly can see the
wisdom in switching to the metric
system, even if it does hurt a
little. But the question remains:
who was consulted before this
decision was made?
Likewise, who was consulted
before the laws on abortion were
passed?
Who was consulted before the
death penalty was abolished?
Who was consulted before
regional government was im-
posed on many areas?
Who was asked about changes
in the Ontario medical system as
proposed by the Mustard report?
Who was asked if •they wanted
county school boards?
Who was asked if they wanted
a stronger county government
with a budget four times what it
used to be?
Who was asked if they were
willing to pay the increases in
M.P.'s salaries at 'a time when
we're supposed to be trying to
hold down pay increases in other
segments of the economy?
The standard reply to this
question, of course, is that
governments are elected to
govern and so should take strong
steps and not "cop out" by
calling a plebiscite on tough
subjects. If we' don't like the
decisions, we are told we can
defeat the government at the next
election.
But how many times, even
when a government is elected,
are polices ever reserved? The
answer is hardly ever. For one
thing by the time an election rolls
around the chances are the policy
has already been in effect for a
couple of years. A whole
bureaucratic structure has been
built up to service the policy.
What new government in its right
mind would start firing civil
servants in this day and age?
Then too, how do you annalyse
the results of voting to decide
which policies caused the voters
to vote for or against a party. In
the last federal election, for
instance, probably millions of
Letting us
decide
voters disagreed with many
policies of the Trudeau govern-
ment, yet they voted for the party
because they just couldn't see
Robert Stanfield as Prime Mini-
ster or were scared silly of his
wage and price controls. Yet
because the government was
re-elected, an automatic stamp of
approval was given to all its
actions in the two years before.
You know the futurists are
always telling us how, in the
coming years we'll have instant
communications, 'There'll be a
button, they say on our television
set so that we'll be able to vote on
yes or no on any question and
have the national tally instantly
available in sonic central place
such as Ottawa, I wonder? Will
the ' politicians allow such a
heretitical thing to happen? It
would take away their reason for
being.
Now it can be argued that this
electronic polling is not necessar-
ily a good thing, and I can agree
with that. There are plenty of
cases to prove that real demo-
cracy doesn't work as well as
representative democracy. There
are some things that just wouldn't
be done that should be, if the
people of the country had the say
rather than politicians thinking in
terms of the long run good. There
are other things that wou Id be
done that we would Tater regret.
There's a lot to be said for
representational democracy,
where we elect for a set term to
make decisions.
But can't we have the best of
both? Shouldn't we ordinary
people have some say in major
issues that are going to effect our
whole way of. life? Over in
England, people are belatedly
getting a chance to have some
say in a decision that was made
that changed the very structure of
their nation. Later this year.
they'll vote in a national
referendum on whether or not
they are in favour of staying in the
European Common Market. To
have denied the people of the
country the right to make that
decision is to put our form of
government on the same Icvcl
with the Nazi's under Hitler or
the Communists of Russia.
It's about time the ordinary
people of the country demanded
to have some say in the important
decisions of the nation. If we
don't, we might as well forget
calling ourselves a Democracy,

Riddell called "Yahoo" in Legislature
A call for more stringent gun
controls coupled with an attack
on Ontario's rural population
sparked a furor in the Ontario
Legislature recently,
Tory MPP Frank Urea (Scar-
borough Centre) insisted that
Ontario should "register the
character of the person who owns
firearms, not withstanding the
fact the federal government has
jurisdictional rights to deal with
handguns.,'
Drea wants the Ontario govern-
ment "to see the people who have
rifles and who have handguns. It
means that they are going to
come to us and they are going to
have t0 tell us what they want
thein for."
