Cause of- the increase is mostly due to the increase in the Huron county levy which went up from 19 mills to 24.5 for farm and residential and 29 for business and commercial. The Huron County Board of Education elementary rate also went up from 19 mills to 21.5 for the farm and residential and from 22 to 24 for commercial. The Huron county secondary school levy was clown from 17.5 to 17 on farm and residential and 20.5 to 19 on business and commercial. The township rate was down which helped hold the line against a larger increase. The township rate dropped from 27 to 24,5 for residential and farm and from 30 to 29 for business and commercial. The farm and residential total rate for 1975 is 87,5 mills compared to 82.5 in 1974. For business and commercial the rate is 101 compared to 91.5 last year.

YOUR CHOICE FROM ONE OF THE LARGEST INVENTORIES ON THIS CONTINENT, Telephone 523.9666 Did you ever go around feeling good all the time, and have to stop and wonder why? That's been happening to me all week. I find myself whistling, tossing cheery salutes to colleagues and generally feeling as though I'd just won a lottery, "Settle down, boy. This isn't like you," i admonish roc, I am not normally a gloom pot, but neither do I go around grinning like an idiot. My wife, early in our acquaintance, nicknamed me "Stoneface." My average ex- pression could probably be described as saturnine. ' That's why I was a little alarmed to find myself breaking into broad smiles this week. When 1 actually found myself being jolly with the boss, I knew it was time to stop and pull myself together. "Look, Bill," I said to myself, "you have not been drinking; you are not senile; nobody has left you a large sunt of stoney. Pull yourself together. Why are you going around all hummy inside like a little old humming -bird?" And then it struck me. Pokey is in town. Pokey, if you came in late, is Nicov Chen Sieber, my grandbabby, all rosy, satin checks and huge brown eyes and golden hair and little white teeth and 22 pounds of 'teller), of hint. Sonic of you will remember an old song that went, "Sugar in the morning, sugar in the evening, sugar at supper time..." Those ancient, spavined ladies wlio were once the fabulous Andrews Sisters made it a hit. Well, that's what it is like when niy grandbabby is around. It's sugar first thing in the morning, Mien I get clown for breakfast. The sugar consists of a little jig of glee, two big eyes, a tiny white grin, and two wcc corms thrust up, demanding a pickup, a dozen or so kisses, a dandle, a song, a little soft-shoe shuffle, and anything else that the old pian can muster for the early service. Of'course, it's all a plot. Reason tells me this. The kid has been trained from birth to know vho has the nwney in the family, who is the softest touch, the biggest sucker. But reason is washed away by the floods oI' emotion when the downy head snuggles into one's neck, or the tiny finger goes into the air, pointing at a sun-rcllcc- 3 C's hold meeting The Blyth 3 C's met at the public school with 15 members present.

Bluth is growing. Every year more and noire Rouses are built in this village and the rate of growth seems to be accelerating, Unfortunately for the Blyth taxpayer, however, the growth is of the wrong kind. Oh. it's nice to sec new houses all right and it's comforting to see the population figures creeping upward. But residential housing is expcn,i\e growth. It costs you as a taxpayer money every time a new house is erected. In the long run, that house will pay for the added services it requires through taxes, but that doesn't help the mill rate in the mean time. The kind of growth that is needed is commercial and industrial growth. h niav not seem fair to the businessman, but it is industrial and commerical taxation which pays the bilis in a municipality. The mill rate for homeowners is much (ower in municipalities that have a large commercial assessment than in those that have a low coninlercial assessment. With sewer construction just around the corner and an official plan in the near future (hopefully) it seems about time more effort was expended locally in trying to lure more business establishments to the village. We are in need of additions to the main street business community. We could use more farm supply businesses to fill those needs we can't presently fill for the farm community. And we could use sonic small industry to provide jobs. We've been lucky in the past couple of years to have gotten several new businesses without expending much effort, We can't be lucky forever. if we are to get new commercial assessment, we're going to have to try to go after it. The idle industrial Committee is the obvious body to launch such a promotion program. Cut out the humbug. A spokesman for Western Ontario postmasters on the weekend said that the federal government was being unfair to try to limit wage increases to about 13 per cent for most people when the Members of Parliament had only recently increased their own salaries by 33 per cent. The statement was indicative,of the kind of humbug being served out by labour leaders and other leaders of vested interest groups. Let's get this straight: the MP's were wrong in the timing and the amount of their pay increase. But let's not get ridiculous either, That 33 per cent has to be spread over four years to accurately consider the inflationary factor. The 38 per cent the postmasters want, or theIIarge increases the postmen, the teachers, the dockworkers and just about everyone else seem to be asking for are for shorter terms, some even for a single year. The MP's were wrong more in timing than amount, because they should have known that the increase at this time would lead to just such arguments from others in the country. But let's not be, ridiculous, It isn't the MP's who'll have to pay the price for this greed that is sweeping the country. It's you and me brother; it's the guy who's getting that big increase as well as the guy who's paying it. Argue all you want about falling behind others in the fight to keep up, but the only thing that really counts it that down in the U.S. the average wage settlement this year has been seven per cent while here in Canada it has been 16 per cent. in the U.S. inflation has dropped drastically. in Canada we still had a large .9 per cent increase in the cost of living last month. Many Canadians have always looked smuggly on Americans as money-grubbing and short sighted, But Americans, both workers and the companies they work for have been far sighted enough to know that it's better to lose a little to inflation now than to be out of work altogether in a few months. Canadian workers on the other hand seem to think the economy is an endless gold mine they can mine forever. We've found out in recent years, however, that all resources run out eventually. As we kill the competitive position of the nation with high wage demands and resulting higher prices, we are assuring ourselves of the recession we thought we would avoid. Unlike past recessions, we can't blame the Americans if we go under this time. We can only blame our own greedy selves. And more humbug It seems evident that the snowjob the people of Ontario are now getting makes the great storm of 1971 look like a minor snow squall. The snowjob is being precipitated by Premier William Davis who's trying to snowblind the voters into electing him again, and just may succeed. How about that ad proclaiming "Family Unity Month" in Ontario?. How about all those nice catchy singing ads on the television these days telling how Ontario is helping you get a summer job if you're a student or get your first home if you're a first time home owner? The ads are telling you about one program while actually selling something else: the government of Ontario or, of course, Bill Davis and his party. Then there's the Royal Commission on Violence on Television, although the government has no power over television. All these things in themselves aren't necessarily propaganda, but lump them all together with the fact that the popularity of the government is at an all-time low and with the fact that an election is expected some time this year and you have the reasonable assumption that it's propaganda. The advertising budget for the government, for instance, has increased many times over in the past few months, although few people know how much because the government refuses to divulge the figures though the opposition parties have tried their best to find out. We are in the unenviable position of being bought with our own money and if we do sell ourselves, we'll pay the price of the same thing happening again when the next election rolls around, Abandoned farmhouse Those were the 5 years ago MAY 13,1970 To save costs in providing quarters for expanded operations in the Clinton area, Ontario Hydro will take over one of the major buildings at Canadian Forces Base Clinton which is being phased out by the Department of National Defence.

(Tass March 1970) 35,000 in Britain, 15,500 in the world wide communist aggression as "looking for communists under the bed" obviously do not read The World Marxist Review, Tass or Pravda which have revealed a Cummunist Party membership in 102 countries, including the one and a half million in Italy, 303,100 in France, 37,000 in Germany, 35,000 in Britain, 15,500 in the U.S.A. and 5,000 in Canada (divided up into both Maoist and Soviet philosophies) In free world countries, these Marxists are invariably involved in leading, launching, steering or influencing thousands of "front" groups and ad hoc committees which are designed to appear as "Democratic" but are intent upon creating chaos and over- throwing our democratic institu- tions, By selecting "motherhpod" and "apple pie" issues which cannot be faulted, millions of naive followers find , themselves emotionally brainwashed, work- ing for, financing and furthering questionable causes. While thou- sands quit when they discover the truth, few, if any, will admit to having been duped. While a handful of men masterminded the Russian Re- volution, by 1946, the Communist imperialists had enslaved some 200 people, As of May 1975, some 39 countries and 1200 million people live in fear behind the Iron, Bamboo and Sugar Cane Curtain and Berlin Wall. The fall of Cambodia and South Vietnam brings the Marxist philosophy of world domination just that much closer. Patricia Young Vancouver, B.C. THE EDITOR Each year during Police week, the 185 Ontario Provincial Police detachments open their doors to the public. May 11 to May 17 is Police Week this year, and 1 would tike to extend a personal invitation for you to visit an OPP detachment. Members of the force will be on hand to show you around and explain the workings of the OPP in 'your community. The role of the police has been basically unchanged for years. Although the emphasis may change in these specialized times, we still have tp protect people. The seventies have given us technology, but we are still striving to improve our commun- ications with the citizens of Ontario, Here is an ideal opportunity to meet a policeman in an informal atmosphere; take your family and introduce them to him, have a look at the detachment and see how he works to help you.

HURON -BRUCE Mr. Rene Brunelle, Minister of Community and Social Services announced, effective May 1st, that a number of ' steps arc currently underway to improve the situation for recipients of family benefits and general welfare assistance, The allowance for those recei- ving benefits will be increased. For example the new rate a mother with three children aged 10-15 will receive will be an increase of $45 for a monthly total of $423. Other changes will alter the focus of the fancily benefits programme by providing more incentives for part time eniploy- lnent and help in returning to the work force. The first is a "back to school" allowance of $25 per child for children 4 to 12 and $50 per child for children 13 and over. These amounts will help meet the added expenses that families face at the beginning of a new school year, Also the Province will assume responsibility for the cost of eyeglasses and hearing aids for those receiving family benefits or GAINS. Mothers who wish to supple- ment their allowances by engag- ing in part-time employment will be allowed to average their earned income over a three- month period. Work expenses will also be pro- vided to cover actual transporta- tion and clothing costs by working part-time. *** The Ontario Government has no plans for a public inquiry that would require insurance compan- ies to justify predicted auto insurance premium increases of about 15 per cent Consumer Affairs Minister, Sidney Randle- man said this week.

From the minister's study Follow God in marriage BY TED HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH You remember, 1 trust, the concluding words of last week's 'mini -essay,' about the need for a specific response? If there is no response to Christ, there is also no Christianity. The Bible says some very specific things about marriage, for instance, to which God wants people to respond. Marriage is often considered a convenience for sexual gratification, somehow tied in with an evolutional development in which monogamy won out, merely a contractual arrangement easily terminated whenever one or both partners see greener pastures. And for those trapped in a marriage minus its original intimacy and romance, there is the cheap comfort freely dispensed on how to be happy even though still married, Increasing numbers of separations and divorces indicate a very strong mood of dissatisfaction and unhappiness in marriage. What Scriptures say about marriage is hardly comparable to many marriages in the here and now. That, of course, does not make the ' Bible wrong or archaic. It is rather the other way around. God instituted marriage to be a union between a man and a woman for a life time, a marriage which is always new, as both husband and wife seek to serve Christ, find mutual satisfaction, and even have children. If extramarital relations (the old word is adultery) develop, and consequently separations and divorces, it indicates people who are unhappy, with the result they do as they please in order to find happiness. There is still only one way to satisfaction in marriage, and that comes from following the will of God. Marriage is meant to be God's way to show husband and wife united in wedlock to live life to the fullest happiness. r • the Singing Edwards from Wooler, Ontario PLUS Rev.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 14, 1975, Surveyor finds Canadians would rather watch American television BY KEITH ROULSTON Toronto Globe and Mail telev- ision critic Blaik Kirby reported rather shakenly this week..on the response to a column he wrote last week decrying the growing U.S. influence of American television in Canada. He wanted Tess. His readers, apparently, overwhelmingly wanted more. Mr. Kirby used his column one day last week to discuss the danger caused by cable televis- ion. The Canadian market at only 20 milliion people is small to try to provide a continent•wide televis- ion service, he noted. But the problem grows because cable television by providing more and more channels is fragmenting that potential audience all the more. This used to only be a problem in areas along the U.S. border but today people as far from the U.S. as Edmonton are demanding the "right" to be able to watch U.S. channels on cable. invariably. these imported chan- nels whomp the heck out of Canadian channels in the ratings leaving the Canadian channels with little money to provide their own programming. Even on Canadian channels in the ratings leaving the Canadian channels with little money to provide their own programming. Even on Canadian channels it is the American -originated programs Paper that get the highest ratings. The danger is, he pointed out, that the already short supply of money for producing Canadian shows will get even shorter and the shows \lilt be poorer in quality than they already are. He didn't get much sympathy from his readers however. They wrote such things as "people watch U.S. TV because it is incomparably better than Cana- dian...Canadian TV is lousy because it is run by the government." Mr. Kirby was horrified that so•called intelligent Canadians could enjoy the violence that is so much a part of American television. He felt the Canadian viewer was above all that and could appreciate "better" pro- gramming. He's wrong, of course. People in Canada seem to love the blood and gore of American television just as much as the Americans. One wonders, however, how they would react to it if C.B.C. suddenly produced a super -viol- ent show like many of the imports? • Mr. Kirby admits that Amer- ican television is more entertain- ing than Canadian. This he puts clown to , the fact that the Americans spend about $250,000 an hour on programs while in Canada the figure is about one quarter that amount. Nov I'll grant you that it's hard to turn out something as good as your competitor's at one quarter the budget but really docs that explain the difference? I mean pardon nay stupidity, but how can examines what wisdom is The Listowel Banner took a look at true wisdom: The highly educated person is not necessarily a wise person. The unusually eleker person does not always show wisdom in his cleverness. You can have a high I.Q. and still not be wise. Wisdom. real wisdom, can come to persons of quite ordinary intelligence. Wisdom is not so much a matter of intelligence as of what is done with intelligence. "Teachableness is as signifi- cant as intelligence in the attaining of wisdom. And that is not simply a capacity to take formal instruction and pass examinations • although such things can be significant. "A. N. Whitehead, one of the most influential philosophers of our time, said this: 'A merely well-informed ratan is the most useless bore on God's earth.' He Add, 'Now wisdom is the way in which knowledge is held. It concerns the handling of know- legcd, its selection for the determination of relevant issues, its employment to add value to our immediate experience.' "In any education that is to count there is an inescapable clement to sheer dogged jrind- ing. 1f you wish to advance from milk to meat you must be prepared to chew gristle, And you mustn't expect to be spoon-fed: as the novelist, E. M. Forste, put it. 'Spoon-feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.' "What we do with our educational opportunities has much to do with the degree of wisdom to which we attain, Stephen Leacock once said, 'An education, when it is all written out on foolscap, covers nearly ten sheets,' Leacock made an import- ant point there: much of the real value of your education is to be found in what remains after you have forgotten much of what you deliberately set out to learn. And in that can be an essential source of wisdom. 10 Speed 5 Speed 3 Speed bicycles in stock. rM4 LMi fl Y ( SPARLI NG'S HARDWARE Blyth you spend even $62,000 let alone $250,000 on a single hour of television production? Just why need the cost be so high? To me there is a monumental waste of money and energy in the Canadian television industry. I think people in the industry and particularly the CBC are so busy feeling sorry for themselves because they don't have as much money to play with as the Americans that they never get anything done, if they do set out to do something they usually try to be so "artistic that they leave most people cold. Canadian television networks, and particularly the C.B.C. have abandoned the ordinary viewer, the guy who pays the bills for that PAYS THE BILLS FOR THAT $62,000 an hour program- ming. With the exception of news and sports, the networks have abdicated any responsibility for providing the kind of program- ming this market requires. C.B.C. seems to almost ignore the role of the writer in many of its programs. It only seems to have about two good writers on the payroll and prefers to spent its money instead on producers, directors and actors. But a program without a good plot can't be nude good by all the directors, producers and actors in the world. The C.B.C. seems to me to be a place where a little closed group runs around telling each other how smart and good they are. They never hear from the ordinary people. Move the C.B.C. studios out to Blyth or some other place in the country and you'd see a big change, because people around here aren't afraid to call a spade a spade and a crummy show a crummy show. Let's face it, we're never going to have as much money as the Americans so we might as well set ourselves to the task of getting as much out of the buck as we can. If the Canadian newspaper industry was inefficient as the television industry, we'd have only about three newspapers in the entire country. Luckily, the newspapers don't have as utopian ideas of how things should be done as the television networks. so they squeeze everything out of every dollar they get and turn 001 newspapers that are on a part with those anywhere in the world. But not television. Compare for a minute what Canadian television does where it is on tui equal footing with U.S. television. Those who get Detroit stations will notice that many of the games of the Detroit Tigers baseball team are carried on a Detroit station. In Buffalo, many of the games of the Buffalo Braves and the Sabres are carried on local television. But you don't see stations in Targe cities like Toronto and Montreal giving the same kind of coverage. If a Crimp Shorts Short and Jamaica Length $5.98 and up network doesn't cover the action in Canada, then the local stations won't, Yet the potential market is just as large. There's an exception here of course, there is enc station I've seen that scents t0 Intake an honest effort to provide interest- ing programming and it doesn't belong to a network at all. That station is the Hamilton station which all by itself provides more Canadian prograniniing of inter- est to the general public than CI3C and CTV together. Unlike the other two networks, it doesn't sit around crying. It gets out and docs something.
