tie S t( ARdt 670 anda BLYTH, ONTARIO PRiCE: 20 CENTS School board. discontinues safety patrols BY JANICE MIDDLETON The Huron County Board of Education voted to discontinue school safety patrols at public schools in Godcrich and Exeter at Monday night's meeting. "Legislation defines the limits of a board's jurisdiction over pupils as only while on school property or while travelling on a school bus," D. .1. Cochrane, director of education, informed trustees. The board is in a position where it might be sued if an accident occurred at a board sanctioned crosswalk, he said. Student safety patrols will not be operating this September, while board - paid adult guards will remain at the cross walks until December 31. The cost of crossing guards at Highway 4, near Exeter public school, is shared by the board and Exeter Council. There is also a board employed guard on Highway 21 at Victoria Public School in Goderich. In Goderich, grade 6 pupils were members of a school safety patrol. "It is my opinion that responsibility for helping children to cross the street is that of an adult guard. Grade 6 students are not of an age to accept responsibility." said Mr. Cochrane. In Clinton and Wingham, crossing guards are employed by the town council. Local police oversee school safety in Seaforth. Trustee Jack Alexander of Wingham said the board "should be paying in all municipalities or none. We have paid our guard in Wingham for several years and if I'd known that the board paid for guards elsewhere, 1 would have brought this up before now." Chairman Wilfred Shortreed said the director of .education would need to write "a diplomacy letter" to Exeter and Goderich councils asking that the responsibility for the children's safety at crossings be the town's. Trustee H. John Elliott suggested that the affected councils inform the board by December if they will employ crossing guards. "Highway 4 is dangerous, 1 don't want to sec the children abandoned." he said. "The board has no cost saving ulterior!• motive," said Mr. Cochrane, but is merely attempting to conform to ministry regulation. Other business discussed at the meeting included the feasibility of a optional swim program for elementry school pupils at Vanastra community centre during the winter months. During 1974-75 pupils from Clinton, Hullett and Huron Centennial public schools participated in a series of lessons, Parents paid $2.00 for eight one hour sessions. Transportation to and from Vanastra was provided from the schools' budget. Night schools will be located in Central Huron Secondary School, F. E. Madill Secondary School, Wingham, Seaforth District High School, South Huron District High School in Exeter and 'Goderich District Collegiate institute, Starting date for 1975-76 classes will be the week of October 6. A list of courses in Huron County will be public. On a lighter note, Trustee Mrs, D. Wallace commented that D. H. Lawrence's "Sons and Lovers" was included on the list of English literature books for secondary schools was not even allowed in Canada daring her university, days, .

Spectacular fire A spectacular but apparently harmless fire brought Blyth firemen to a farm owned by Frank Szusz, RR 1, Blyth on Tuesday afternoon. An old frame house was on fire sending flames high Into the sky fed by the asphalt shingles on the building. Firemen concentrated their efforts on wetting down the nearby barn and making sure sparks from the fire didn't spread. Here fireman George Ives trains a hose on the side of the building. --staff photo. Separate Board won't support courier, system BY WILMA OKE The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will not join the courier service carried on by the Huron and the Perth County Boards of Education. The decision for one year only was made at the board meeting in Seaforth, Monday night because "the volume would not justify the service". The board will donate $150 to the Wingham parish of Sacred Heart Church toward the cost of bus transportation of children to the summer school of religion. Wingham trustee William Kinahan reported the school to be "farm more of a success than -expected" with between 168u and 185 children attending the two-week school, including 66 from Clinton, The cost of the school amounted to $471, including $180 for the Clinton bus and $100 for the Brussels bus. Registration fees amounted to $115 and a donation from the Brussels Catholic Women's League of $50 resulted in a debt of $296 to the Wingham parish. Trustee Donald Crowley bf Gadshill questioned whether the religious education taught in the regular school term was adequate if the summer school was such a success, Mr. Crowley said, "I think we should be taking a good look at the teaching of religion in our schools. The parents must have felt this was necessary and the teachers who volunteered to teach as well," Several trustees expressed concern CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 E. Wawanosh approves enlarging M.V.C.A. A new attempt to enlarge the area served by th+: Maitland Valley Conserva tion Authority was given approval by East Wawanosh township council at its August meeting, August 5. The enlarged boundaries would sec the MVCA take in the arca from where the northern boundary of the authority meets the Lake Huron Shoreline to the boundary of the Saugeen Valley C oscryation Authority begins. This would ,mean all of the townships of Ashfield, Colborne. East and West Wawanosh, part of Huron, Kinloss and Culross townships and the villages of Lucknow and Ripley would then be included in the Authority. A proposal to enlarge the Authority was turned down two years ago but John Elliott, spokesman for the Authority said Tuesday that new programs offered by the authority would be of special b.:netit to the lake -side townships and the authority hopes there will be more interest in the new areas this time. The municipalities involved are being asked to approve the enlargement in advance, he said, before proceeding with the trouble and expense of a general meeting. In other business the East Wawanosh council approved building permits for Ronald Snell, Bryan Coulees and John Lockhard and a severence for John Stein. Council voted to pay Chris Eskerod $256 for doing the dog count. Court of revision was held on the Gaunt municipal drain and no appeals were heard. Road accounts of $29,116.26 and general accounts -of $3,114.49 were approved for payment. West Wawanosh enters O.H.R.P. West Wawanosh township council at its August meeting agreed to apply for funds for the township under the Ontario Home Renewal Program. The program provides funds for basic improvements to homes for those who qualify. The program is funded by the Ontario government but administered by the municipality.. Council also adopted the Ontario Home Renewal Program Guide as the standard for residential property in the township. In other business, the council approved the enlargement of the Maitland Valley Conservation' Authority to include all of Ashfield, Colborne, East and West Wawanosh townships and part of Huron, Kinloss and Culross townships and the villages of Lucknow and Ripley. A group of property owners from Dungannon were present to discuss the building of a street to service their newly-r^quired lots in the village. After some -discussion the owners agreed to look after the road building themselves. Court of revision was held on the Gaunt drain. Harvey Sproul of Dungannon was present to discuss what he thought were unfair charges for street lights in Dungannon. Compalints were heard from Morley Johnston in person and by letter from Murray Wilson and Cecil Cranston about the need for repair and cleanout on the Smyth drain. Council will contact the property owners involved in the drain before proceeding. The draft agreements between three townships and the village of Lucknow on the purchase of a new fire truck were studied and returned to the solicitor with revisions, PG, 2.

Mr. Lane outlined the new extra- curricu-lar budget for 1975 that has been initiated this year to provide a schools e opportunity to share in recognized "out-of-school activities"to meetthe individual school and community needs within the deftnation and to equalize the opportunity as far as possible. The out-of-school activities were defined as field trips, excursions, performing arts, swimming programs, skating programs, inter -school sports and gym facilities. Mr. Lane explained how the 515,000 budget was divided among the schools on the basis of the number of pupils, the location of the school --whether located in the city, village or the rural arca and the indoor sports facilities such as gymns, etc. "Now there is an accountability for the Mr, Lane said the earliest possible date to start work on the addition would be early spring pending finalization of plans, letting of tenders and final approval of Ministry of Education. Bus drivers of board•owned buses will be given an increase of 50 cents per hour raising their wages to 54.25 per hour for the school year 1975-76 for extra -curricular driving, such as transporting children to swimming classes. The by-law and policy committee is Alexander Easton, assistant superinten- dent, said there was still one vacancy to be filled at Ecole Ste. Marie and the 19 schools would all have their staffs for 1975-76. Trustee F. Vere gave a detailed account of the various maintenance work being carried out at the schools during the past month such as painting, and paving and he spoke of the work to be carried out in the next few weeks as they prepared the schools for the fall tern. The building and maintenance commit- tee is looking at the hydro pole and transformer located in the school yard at St. Patrick's School, Dublin, which is considered a danger to the children. Ontario hydro is to view the equipment and decide what action is to be taken. Jack Lane informed the board members that work on the new board offices at Dublin was progressing on schedules and the administration staff would be moving as originally planned at the end of August. He said the second floor would be finished by Wednesday of this week and the decorating on the first floor would be completed next week. Janitor service for the new board office at Dublin will be tendered and this is not to include the two rooms presently used as kindergarten rooms.

The entrances to Blyth will soon be brightened with new signs welcoming visitors to Blyth. The signs are being painted by Auburn arca artist Jim Marlatt for the Blyth Board of Trade. When finished, History being dug up at Few people really expect that important historical finds be unearthed in their own backyard, but this is exactly what is happening in the backyard of Mr. and Mrs. William Huggett of of Egmondville. David Newlands from the Canadiana department of the Royal Ontario Museum Toronto, with a crew of volunteers is uncovering some of the original potters' tools used at the Huron Pottery, which operated from 1852 to 1910. The tools he suspects, are the first of their kind to be found in Canada. Huron Pottery has previously known for its yellow glazed pots and crocks. Mr. Newland said historians' would have to apologize to those potters for believing they were flower -pot makers, instead of craftsmen.. The ROM crew which includes about eight or nine volunteers is finding intricately designed molds for ceiling and fireplace tiles and examples of fine art work on pieces of pottery. Last summer, Mr. Newlands and crew excavated the olk kiln. He returned this year with volunteers to dig the cellar of the pottery building, long demolished and his work should be completed Thursday. Although the field work will be finished in a total of six weeks, he doesn't expect the final report on the Pottery to be completed until 1977. Not only must the objects found be cleaned and repaired, but they also must be analysed. When the ROM archeological crew returned this year, some people in the community shook their head, for last year's dig was less than spectacular. Some said why bother digging broken pottery, there is better stuff right in area homes? When first interviewed, David Newlands, formerly a teacher, and an archeologist, with. ROM for three years, said he didn't expect to find whole pieces of pottery. The) would be finding things that weren't sold, and people don't throw out good stuff. If the ROM was interested in collecting pottery, it could have bought it, he said. Last year, the ROM bought a collection of Huron Pottery from local collector, Bill Hart. The collection is to sit in the ROM, and be called the.William M. Hart Collection. , Right r.ow, the Canadiana department has been interested in excavating pottery sites, since little is known about the early industry. Mr. Newlands said the ROM is concentrating on the pottery industry, now, because it has always focused on the decorative arts which arc pleasing to the eye as well as easily stored. Over a coffee, Mr. Newlands' face turned red, when he remembered the quips he suffer- ed when co-workers learned he was digging a pottery cellar this summer. They said "not another cellar" for two years ago, he dug a cellar at a pottery site, in New York State that only uncovered modern "junk". "Cellars aren't the most promising." he said. The Egmondville site was chosen for excavation because it operated more than 60 years, and was known to offer a standardized product. Huron Pottery was an inter- mediate sized shop founded by a German potter, Valentine Boehler which has been reported to employ five full-time workers in 1880. Mr. Newlands said this means they were making a lot of pottery, because one English potter reported that he could make 60 pots an hour, while others in the shop could make more. He said it was probably one of the largest clay pottery plants, and the next size would have handled stoneware. Last May, the ROM under the direction to Mr. Newlands dug the David Burns site near Holmesville. Mr, Burns had a part-time operation, making pottery in the winter months for 40 years until 1900. The ROM decided the charac- teristics of the Egmondville site would contribute to its knowledge of the pottery industry which died with the introduction of modern containers and mass production. Conservatives, Liberals schedule nom inations they will feature a steam engine, symbol of the annual Blyth Thresher Reunion. --staff photo. old'Egmondville pottery In 1906, Huron Pottery was the last of eight potter plants still in operation in Ontario. Besides, the Huggetts were willing to allow the ROM to dig in their yard. Under this agreement, the owners agree to allow the ROM to keep anything that is uncovered, People like the Huggetts allow the ROM to excavate because they know anything that is found by the ROM will be kept and preserved in a safe place for future generations, and won't be sold, Mr. Newlands said. Clare Pretty, niece, of F. Burgard, the last potter, visited Huron Pottery as a child and a drawing was sketched from her memories of the place. Last year this was the ROM's only, indication of the size, dimension, and shape, of the building. Over the winter, however, a picture of the plant was found in a book published in 1906, by the Ontario Department of Mines. Its not too surprising the actual picture differs from the drawing since 60 years is a long time. Ethel Beattie, an antique collector for 30 years, said she remembers visiting the pottery plant as a child of seven. It inspired both her and her cousin as children, to make their own clay articles and to leave them in the sun to dry. She went with her mother, and believes the turning wheel was at the east end, and behind that a room where they sold the finished pottery. . Miss Beattie has several crocks and jugs from the plant, and said Bill Hart, a local collector was Village Crest Dsign Competiti Design a crest f the Corporation of the Vil�ge of Blyth Rules: 1) To be in the hands of the clerk -treasurer by August 31, 1975. • 2) Decision of judges to be final. 3) Designs to remain the property of the Village of Blyth.

The Conservatives will hold their nomination meeting in Kincardine on Thursday night, August 21 to select a candidate. To date no one has announced plans to contest the nomination. The Liberals will hold their meetings on Monday night, August 25 in the Wingham town hall at 8:30 p.m. Incumbent Murray Gaunt is expected to gain easy re -nomination for the party. Redistribution has changed the boundaries of the riding since the last election with Hullett and Colbourne townships being added to the south end of the riding.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 201, 1975. Editorials You can fight city hall One of those opposed to the use of a lagoon system for treating Blyth sewage remarked after the decision of the Ontario Environmental Hearing Board that: "You can fight city hall". The decision certainly is one to restore one's faith in the democratic process. It seemed impossible to believe after the hearing held in Blyth on June 3, that there could be any decision but one in favour of a mechanical plant, but too often we've been burned before. Too often government officials from Toronto or Ottawa descend on an area, listen to the arguments of the local people and then go ahead and make the decisions they'd been prepared to make from the beginning, ignoring the pleas of local citizens, The argument against a lagoon system for Blyth, however, was too obvious to ignore. The only suitable site was two miles from town on good farmland. If such a site was approved, it seemed to make about as much sense to pump the sewage all the way to Goderich to make use of facilities there. So though the decision was expected, it is still very welcome. No more fence sitting please If you can't afford a house in Blyth and think a mobile home might be an answer, forget it. There just isn't a place for you in Blyth. It's been that way for over a year now since council imposed a ban on locating mobile homes among regular housing in the village. The idea at that time was to establish a mobile home park in the village so there would be a place for the homes in a proper setting. The plans even went down on paper, designed by the Huron County Planning Department but when the owner of the property involved wanted more for the land than council felt it could afford, the project went into a. holding pattern, and there it stayed, It's hard to climb on council's back over the issue because the councillors are only trying to keep costs in line with revenues. For many councillors it is obvious this is not a high priority issue. But if they were a senior citizen or a young couple just starting out that can't afford a house at today's spiralling costs, perhaps they would see things differently. We support the idea that mobile homes and regular housing should not be mixed, We support the idea of a mobile home park, properly designed and set up. But if council is not willing to go ahead with such a project, it has no other moral decision but to lift the ban on mobile homes in all parts of the village. Certainly We want to keep taxes down, but we also have to look at the long-range aims of the town. A mobile home park is needed for those who can't afford a regular house. If coucil can not come to terms with the land owner in question, it should look for another site or expropriate. One way or the other, it's tiine'after more than a year to get off the fence. Where are the policies In the 1971 election Robert Nixon and his Liberals started off the campaign with a well -laid -out document of what the party would do if elected. It's Blueprint for Government was subsequently torn apart by a scornful Bill Davis and his Conservative supporter, who themselves promised nothing but more of the same. With this in mind, the Liberals had deliberately refrained in 1975 from announcing policies in advance of the election campaign. They wanted, they indicated, to keep the Tories off guard and to take full advantage of the impact of new policy proposals during the campaign. Well the campaign is on so let's have the policies please. The majority of people in ridings in this area will in all probability be voting for Mr. Nixon's party but more as a vote against Mr. Davis than a vote for Mr. Nixon. But elsewhere in the province people aren't so strongly opposed to Mr. Davis' policies, of centralization and big government and they need to see something from the Liberals to make them think there is a real alternative to the Big Blue Machine. Strangely, the same people who attacked the Liberals for the high cost of the policies they proposed in the last election are leading the cries against the party for its lack of policy this time around. It may seem unfair to Mr. Nixon but whoever said politics was fair. If it was fair, Mr. Davis would still be far back in the popularity polls rather than riding high because of a few popular tax cuts. It's time for controls Just over a year ago Canadians voted soundly against wage and price controls as proposed by the Progressive Conservatives by putting Pierre Trudeau back in power with a majority government. Never -the -less, the time has come for wage and price controls in Canada. Conditions have changed greatly since Robert Stanfield proposed controls last year. Canada was suffering from inflation of that time but not as badly as places like the U.S. In the meantime, however, because of the recession or because of common sense or for whatever reason, our major competitors like the U.S. and Japan and Germany have come to grips with inflation. But in Canada, inflation is as bad as ever. The contrast between the U.S, and Canada is obvious in one small statistic: that the rate of negotiated ed settle me nt for major labour contracts in Canada is running double the rate in the United States. Unlike only a year ago our inflation is now being fueled within r own borders, not from outside, We can't blame the Americans anJ thci War in Vietnam now. We can't blame the Arab oil producers. We can only blame ourselves. The government would prefer not to have to impose controls of course because they still haven't been proven to work well elsewhere. But like the mother who sees her child eating too much candy, the government must soon do something to save us from our own greed. Controls are drastic action but the situation is drastic. If nothing else the controls might jolt ordinary Canadians into the awareness that we can't go on like this with everyone looking out for himself and no one apparently caring what the consequences are for this country. If we do, we're going to hit a recession that will make the one in the U.S. look like e peanuts. We need government rnm e nt action now before it's too late, Remembering A look back to early in the century [Mrs. James Scott who brought in the photo thinks it was about 19121 shows a group of the independent Order of Oddfellows in Blyth.

Close to $200 was realized for the artificial ice fund last Friday night when members of the Blyth Lions Club played a donkey ball game against a team of Huron County All Star girls. . Friday, the 13th, was anything but unlucky for School Section No. 2, West Wawanosh, when perfect weather greeted a gather- ing of about 300 pupils, teachers and friends corning back to renew acquaintances. The present school will not reopen in September as the School Board has decided to transport the pupils for one year to S.S. No. 17. A new central school is to be built and be ready for September 1966. The firstschool built lt of logs and it was here that the sons of the early pioneers started their education. Some of these were grandparents of the present ratepayers (such as the Mills, Bruce, Finnigan and Moss families) of this Section. The present school was built over 100 years ago, just to the north of the old log structure which was the first school of the Section, and was used later as a wood shed until it was torn down. The present school was built without a basement and heated with a wood stove until when 1934 it was raised and a basement, furnace and modern toilets installed, hydro put in and a few years later a well was drilled. This school is situated on the corner of Mr. Donald Durnin's farm and was first known as Oliver's school. later it was known as Prosperity School and then Plunkett's school when Plunketts owned the farm that Mr. Durnin now owns. 20 years ago WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1955. Mr. John Barr, Provincial Department of Health, Toronto, regional engineer, was in Blyth and Exeter on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week investigating the causes of pollution in the Blyth Creek and' the Ausable River, the latter at Exctcr. Samples taken from the Blyth Creek on July 29 showed the stream to be heavily polluted, with causes apparently resulting from refuse being dumped in the stream from within the Corpor- ation of Blyth, where the pollution was the heaviest. Plans are being made to clear the stream of this pollution. The bulk of the grain harvest is now completed in the County. After harvest cultivation is now general. A large acreage is being prepared for fall wheat. The south end of the County is still badly in need of additional moisture. The cash crop farmer is having another bad year, turnips. corn, .sugar beets and white beans will be below average crops. White beans are ripening too fast and too uneven, a considerable acreage has now been pulled. Some field have been threshed and combined along the lake yields as low as five bushels per acre being reported. 30 years ago / WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 1945. An impressive service of Thanksgiving for recent victory the was arranged by Rev, MacConnel of the Presbyterian Church last Sunday. As in all Mr. MacCon- nell's services, it was marked by a spirit of deep humility and gratitude to God for His unfailing aid to the Allied Nations. Canada has suffered 103,409 casualties in the armed forces, including 38,718 dead and 2,365 missing from the outbreak of war in September 1939, to June 30, 1945. Mr. Robert Newcombe has purchased part of Lot 2, McCon• nel's Survey, on which the old fire hall is situated, It is Mr. Newcombe's intention to have the building removed. The old fire hall is one of the few remaining old land marks of the town and for many years has been an eyesore. Its removal will greatly enhance the value of Mr. Newcombe's property. 50 years ago THURSDAY, AUGUST, 20, 1925. The annual report of the Bell Telephone Company points out that for a net gain of 50,607 telephones for 1924, it was necessary to install no less than 128,872 instruments of which 78,265 were of the department and the ability of the civil servants who constitute its personnel.

OPEN LETTER T() THE RESIDENTS OF BLYTII It has been proposed that your council make an attempt to secure a combination beer -liquor store for the Village of Blyth.' It is thought that such an establishment would encourage the residents of the arca to remain in Blyth to do their shopping, rather than going to another community where 'they are able to purchase their alcoholic requircnlents. It has been suggested that, if a person is forced to go elsewhere for beer or liquor, he would probably shop for groceries, etc., in the larger chain stores, which, in effect, means that the local business establishments are losing revenue and the community generally is suffering economi- cally. Another argument in favour of a government outlet is that the village would receive direct remuneration in the form of taxation; while yet another is that it would provide employment for two or three persons. All of these arguments may have some merit and certainly do deserve honest consideration. 1 know that all of those who support the proposals arc seeking what is best for our community as a whole and I most certainly do not question their integrity. I do, however, disagree with their position, because 1 truly believe the disadvantages are far greater than the advantages. When we think in terms of progress, it seems to me that we must consider the total implications of our actions, and not just the immediate financial gains - personal and collective. Alcohol is the greatest menace in our. society - causing the majority of automobile accidents, destroying family relationships, which have, far reaching conse- quences usually seen in the lives of the children, and • has been proven to be detrimental to the -consumer - physically and mentally. Alcohol is a drug and just as with any drug, when used excessively, it becomes a poison, After all, can anything that affects the total personality as much as alcohol does be good? 1 think notl But, won't the easier accessibility actually reduce the amount of alcohol consumed, in which case a beer -liquor store would be a rearasset? If this were true I would be the first to support the proposal, but this theory just doesn't hold water and 1 would draw your attention. to such countries as France and Italy where the r ate of alcoholism is among the highest in the world, I fully realize that we cannot legislate morals, but the moral decay in our society is such that we can no longer' remain silent with the excuse that the onus must remain with the individual, To a large degree, the individual is responsible for his moral position, but as civic leaders we must give guidance to the citizenry. Moreover, as a Chris- tian, I Itave a responsibility to speak out against anything that would prevent man from having a right relationship with God. I ant first a disciple of Christ and it is because of my love for Hip) that I cannot support the proposed store, i don't think that many persons who go out of the arca to shop for beer or liquor would patronize the larger stores to any great degree, I think that those who do shop for their household needs out of town would probably do so regardless of the additional 'so-called' conveniences, Furthermore, from my experience, the only way the local business establishments can be assured of retaining and/or increasing sales is by remaining competitive, Failure to do this will probably result in a loss of sales. It is true that a beer -liquor store will provide the municipal- ity with a little additional revenue, but this would be minimal. Nevertheless, morality cannot be measured in dollar's and cents, but only in long tern) benefits for our whole society as derived from wholesome living. It is because of this that I also oppose the serving of alcoholic beverages in our public buildings, such as the memorial hall and arena; it is time we rCVieWed antr priorities, let us get our values straightened out before our 'progress' becomes further regression. The Rev, Fred I1, Carson DEAR EDITOR: Since the village council has voted in favor of investigating the possibility of establishing a combination beer and liquor outlet in our community, the matter requires public discussion. The worry of business persons in Blyth that their trade will flow to surrounding communities where beer and liquor arc available is no doubt real. Suppose now that an outlet is placed in Blyth, For a short time a local construction firm could have a contract (perhaps), and two or three people be appointed to operate the establishment, The currently popular cry of 'more stores jobs' carries much emotional weight, but a sober look will reveal that such an outlet will not bring all that much hard cash directly into the community. More will go out in terms of taxes and purchased liquors and beer. The real advantage of an outlet, it seems, is its drawing power to attract potential customers to shop in Blyth. Do such people give financial stability? Are not people who let their alcoholic tastes and cravings govern their shopping habits notoriously un• stable customers? And to draw this to an extreme, a drunken meat buyer is a very difficult person to please, and a besodden automobile operator is a decided hazard beside a gasoline pump, My concern is the fear expressed by businesspersons that they will be hurt financially if such an outlet is not established, For then) the outlet is merely a gimmick. What's happening to the old and tried means of competition? As shopper 1 would like to see more of that than a beer and liquor outlet. A second concern costes from an interest in honesty and justice. From the report in the Standard I received the impression that the two businessmen (at least implicitly) think of this outlet only in economic terms. 'There arc also social and ecological implications. What effects will such easily accessible alcoholic beverages have 00 family structures, which are none too strong already? What may be future needs for detoxification and rehabilitation centers, and police protections, to be paid out of public, funds, which the more easily available alcohol will in the long run demand? And then ecologically, there are always the improperly disposed of bottles and cans, 1 think the business community ought to be concerned for the social and ecological implications as well of their request, and re-examine their financial argu- ment. Instead of an, outlet, how about a properly developed recreation center? Jayne Hoogsteen THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 20, 1975. PG. 5.

Seaforth co McKilIop-B Seaforth's two members on the Area Fire Board asked council for advice at last week's meeting. Appointee 13111 Dale told council- lors that McKillop Township, one of the are members, had pulled a portion of their township out of the Seaforth Fire protection area, contrary to the agreement that all member municipalities signed when the arca was formed in 1970. The agreement says that the boundaries of coverage areas can't be altered for 10 years from the forming data McKillop withdrew part of its township and got fire coverage for it from the Blyth Fire Department, deputy Dale said. The deputy reeve said that he has learned that no delegations asked McKillop to make the change in coverage, he said the township pays Blyth $500 for the coverage, "Do we go by the agreement or by-pass it?" he asked council, Reeve John Flannery asked if r McKillop's partial opting out had uncil unhappy over lyth pact ever been officially approved, I1 can't be approved because it would counter the agreement, deputy reeve Dale replied. Seaforth's other nteniber of the fire board, councillor George Hildebrand said that apparently McKillop got legal advice that the agreement isn't as binding as it looks. Deputy reeve Dale said that when McKillop withdrew Sea- forth's share of expenses went up four percentage points, 'i'ucker- sniith's by two points and Hullett and Hibbert's by one each, He said McKillop didn't take any of the increased costs that resulted from part of their township dropping out. "What do you want us to do?" councillor Hildebrand asked. He said he felt tha the other three nenibers on the fire board were letting Seaforth battle McKillop.

He said he was digging in Fort Yorke, in a mess hall, where he found all kinds of items like buttons, that had fallen of'f and been imbeded into the floor. All these items, with information on where they were found, help reconstruct history, which is what the dig is all about.

McDONALD This week we continue to look at the Open Doors before us to which God gives us the key, The door I would like you to think about now is the door of PRAYER. This door is always open. Through it men, whoever or whatever they are, can rind their way to God in their time of need, "In nothing be anxious," Paul wrote to his friends, "but in everything by prayer and supplication and thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God!" Remember that the door is always open. God has promised that when men call upon him he will hear; and if with all our heart we truly seek him, we shall ever surely find hire. Visitors to St. Peter's in Rome arc sometimes shown a door that is walled up and marked with a cross. They arc told that once every 25 years, on Christmas Eve, the Pope, attended by a retinue of Cardinals, approaches this door and knocks on it three times with a small silver hammer. Real hammers are then brought, and the door is broken down. The Pope and the Cardinals pass through it to the alter. Since it happens only four times in a century, most of those who pass through it have never done so before and will never do so again. At most, one will go that way only twice in a 'lifetime. Lots of people, when they have been told this, have said to themselves, "What if the way to God were really like that!" What if we could Treat it only once or twice in our lifetime." Thank God it isn't so. "I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it." The door of prayer is always open. The open doors in a person's life determines its quality. The quality of your life and mine depends, perhaps most of all, upon what we make of this open door. THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 20, 1975. PG. 7.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: All we hear these days is talk of women's liberation. What about men's liberation? I'm a 3I -year-old male who works in an office. If a woman gets sick during work and wants to lie down, there are lounging chairs and couches in the ladies' restroom. If a elan gets sick, he can lean against the sink or stretch out on the floor. Isn't it about time couches and sofas were put into men's restrooms? Remember, I ant not asking for a bar. -- Sitting Up Headache DEAR HEAD: I agree. The men in your office are being discrimin- ated against. Take this column to the next meeting of the grievance committee if .you think it alight have clout. I'm in your corner, fellas. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Our son was 10 years old when he got his paper route nine months ago. He plans on giving it tip next month, which is okay with ate. When my husband heard of Ted's plans he was furious. He says the boy must not be allowed to quit something just because he gets tired of it. He claims the route is good discipline. Ted has done a good job. All his customers have commented on how reliable he is and what a fine boy he is. Surely he wouldn't learn responsibility just from his paper route. He was taught from infancy that he had certain jobs to do and we saw to it that he did them. My husband and I both need to hear what you have to say. And please hurry because there will be hell in our house until you clarify this. -- The Big Divide DEAR BIG D.: There may be hell in your house even after 1 state my opinion, because I'm with your husband. Having a paper route for nine months and doing well with it is Men are discriminated against ally for a 10 -year-old. But sticking to it, particularly when he would rather not, adds another dimen- sion to the boy's character -build - program. I believe Ted should be told that he must continue with the route, and if he thinks you are being mean -• so what? He'll find out later you were wise not to let him throw in the towel just because he became tired of the responsibility or because the going got a little rough. DEAR ANN: I am an unmarried elan with a very active social life. It so happens I wear a hairpiece. My problem is this. When women .start to run their fingers through my hair, 1 get very self-conscious. Another problem is that many women prefer to skip through the preliminaries and go straight to bed. My hairpiece is well fastened to my head, but 1 would not care to sleep in it. One night 1 experimented, and awakened to find the hair piece on the pillow beside me. How do 1 tell these women that the hair they think is so gorgeous is not my own? -- Embarrassed DEAR EM.: Are you sure you need a hairpiece? Sounds as if you need a bodyguard. There are many types of toupees that will stay on even during hurricanes. The hair is embedded in a plastic shield and secured to the head by adhesive pads. I'm not in the hairpiece business so do not ask me any questions regarding prices or where these hairpieces might be obtained. Is alcoholism ruining your life? Know the danger signals and what to do.

Mem- bers discussed what kinds of rabbits would be better for meat, fur, and wool. When choosing rabbits one should consider health, vigor, good reproductive back -ground, desirable conform- ation and age. We also talked about how to get rabbits ready to show and achievment day which is Sept 5. Topic for the next meeting is showing rabbits.

Vision check important back to school Four out of ten Canadian children are visually handicapped for adequate school achievement, according to the President of the Ontario Association of Optometr- ists. "Numerous requirements are necessary to provide efficient vision, and these must be considered in a complete vision analysis •- especially for the school child," said the President. Dr. R. Lidkea, at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Optome- trists. The most basic needs for adequate vision are near vision, distant vision, binocular co-ordin- ation and adequate field of vision. Near vision means the ability to focus and see clearly and comfortably with both eyes and each eye separately at a distance of about 15 inches. This is the distance at which most school work is done. Distant vision refers to the same ability as needed for near vision but for a distance of 20 feet or more. This is necessary to see the chalkboard, to enjoy motion pictures and TV and to engage in sports. Binocular co-ordination refers to the ability to slake the two eyes work together. This is necessary for art work, handicrafts and play activities as well as to read efficiently. Adequate field of vision refers to the ability to sec to both sides and up and down while focusing on a small target. This saves unnecessary eye and head movements 811(1 IS essential for participation in sports and for personal safety. Sonic 80 per cent of school work depends on vision. Knowing this, it is easy to understand why good vision is so important to achieve- ment in school. "Will your child be achieving as he should?" asked Dr. Lidkea. "'I'hc Ontario Association of before Optometrists recommends an annual, professional vision exam- ination," stated President Lid- kea. CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 3, Relative of 1.

Mr. and Mrs. Colin Paterson, London spent weekend with her Canning tips When peach season arrives each year there is never quite enough time to decide how best to take advantage of it. You can only eat so many at a time and, unfortunately, you can't simply tuck them into some hidden corner to save for a snack on a dreary winter evening. However, with a little work, you can transform them into beautifully canned peaches. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, offer the following reliable method for preserving peaches in home canning jars. Wash the fully ripe, unblem- ished peaches. To remove skins easily, dip in boiling water for 30 seconds; immediately dip in cold water <tnd slip off skins. Cut peaches in halves or slices. Remove pits. Bring to boil in moderately thin sugar syrup (1 cup sugar to 1 1/2 cups water) and simmer for 3 minutes. Pack in hot, clean canning jars and fill with syrup, remembering to leave 1/2 inch space at the top of each jar. After closing the jars, process in a boiling hot water bath for 15 minutes. A new Ministry publication, "Home Canning Ontario Fruits and Vegetables ' outlines the entire home canning process for peaches as well as other fruits and vegetables grown in Ontario.

Bill plans his 'little trip' BY BILL SMILEY Every mid -summer, for some peculiar reason, my wife and I get into the same conversation. We talk at some length about where we should go for a holiday. We have this ridiculous, guilty feeling that we should do what normal people do on their vacations: go to a lodge; rent a cottage; buy a tent and go camping; hire a trailer; go for a "trip" somewhere. Anything. We talk about it for weeks, off and on. We keep referring to "our little trip." Perhaps we should just jump in the car and go gypsying around the country, we say. It sounds good, nice and careless and fun, with a new adventure just around the next curve. Or maybe this year we'll do the culture bit: a week at Stratford, take in all the plays. dabble our feet in the Avon, look with the eye of old theatregoers at the stunned gawping tourists. Or, for a change, book in at a posh lodge for a week, no meals for the old lady to cook, dress to the hilt for dinner, mingle with the fascinating sub•jetset. Or this year, for once, we'll', rent a cottage for two weeks, clam -the -expense, get away from the telephone, slouch around in bare feet and shorts, and listen to the loons on the lake at night. Or, for a complete change, maybe we'll go to the city, check into a fancy hotel with a pool, lounge around in an air-condi- tioned room, and go out to dinner and a good show. There's only one trouble with all these plans. They require decisive action, and we never seem to get around to either decision or activity. Take the posh lodge, for example. First, they are all clip joints. Secondly, they are booked for the whole summer. Thirdly, we don't have the wardrobes to dress to the hilt or anywhere else. Fourthly, they are full of bores. And the food is no screaming hell, Then, the culture bit. It's awfully difficult to gear yourself up for a week of Shakespeare and Shaw and dressing up and standing in lineups for dinner, when you're lying in the backyard listening to the birds, with a good book, and barely enough energy to reach for your glass, and you know there ain't going to be no lineup for the fried chicken and the young, new potatoes and the' juice -spurting corn and the cold, tangy tomatoes in your own house. Gypsying around in the car is fine, except that you have to get out on the road with all those maniacs, and drive and drive in the heat, and pay a ransom for motel rooms, and eat fried food until you begin to feel like a french -fry, and watch a TV set offering reruns of last winter's re -runs. The biggest adventure here is wondering whether the toilet will back up. A ;;,,uple of weeks at a cottage is appealing. But what the heck, we slouch around at home in bare feet and shorts, and as far as listening to the loons at night goes, you can always ask a few of your friends to drop in. A few days in the city has an equal appeal. 1 always catch a cold in the air-conditioned rooms, neither of us likes swimming in a pool with a lot of common, middle-class people, you have to sign a second mortgage on your house to pay the bill, and you can hardly wait to get home, where the room service is free and a great deal faster. So this week, with our "little trip looming up like a vampire, we both discovered, instantan- eously and with great relief, that we'd just stay home for the time Anyway, great, mutual sighs of being, relief. But there was still that She: "I was really just agreeing guilty feeling, that sense that we because I thought you wanted to weren't pulling our weight in the get away somewhere." great holiday farce.

With pickling season well under way, few people are taking the time to check the jars they have already "put down." However, food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food stress the importance of checking pickles at an early stage for signs of problems. You can avoid making the sante mistakes with the rest of your pickles this year if you are aware of what went wrong. One common problem found especially in dill or sweet pickles is shriveling. There are several reasons why this might occur. 1. Allowing too much time to elapse between gathering and pickling • anything over 24 hours could cause shriveling. 2, Placing cucumbers in too strong a pickling solution at beginning of curing. 3. Using too strong a brine solution. 4. Using a syrup that is too heavy, so that the pickling solution is oversweet, Check your recipe closely to see if it seems to have an unusually large amount of salt, vinegar or sugar. If you have- used the same recipe from year to year with success, but • have shriveled pickles this year, perhaps you waited too long after gathering the cucumbers before pickling them.

Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticultur- ist J.K. Hughes says steps should be taken after the harvest in early August to help ensure that next year's crop is a healthy one. "Raspberries arc produced only on canes which grew the previous year, and not on the current season's growth. Since the canes die after fruiting, it's a good idea to prune them out after harvest as ground level and destroy them. Weak and spindly canes shouldalso be removed. "By pruning now, you will encourage a more vigorous growth in the remaining canes which will produce next year's crop," Mr. Hughes says. Next spring a little pruning and thinning will be necessary to set up the plants for the growing season.

Behind the Scenes BY KEITH ROUL ON Recently Atlantic nthly, one of the most respect d of U.S. magazines carried an article by a smug, rather giggly writer who told of his marvellous fun outwitting credit card companies. Many people these days are sent credit cards through the mail and the temptation is t0 use theist too well. There is no obligation to you if you tear them up and toss them in the garbage but if you go out and start buying things with theist, then you are responsible for your purchases. The writer seemed to think it was all a marvellous game and ran around using his cards to the fullest, charging up thousands of dollars on his accounts. Unlike many more unfortunate people, this man hadn't the slightest intention of paying. 'He openly flaunted the threats of the credit card companies and he got away with it. And here he was bragging about his achievements in a national magazine. And here was the magazine printing the story, Lewis visits Goderich Campaign activities for the Huron -Middlesex New Demo- crats will • be launched on Monday, August 25 with a visit to the Riding by Stephen Lewis in support of the local candidate Paul Carroll. Lewis, the Party Leader, will arrive at Sky Harbour Air Park, Goderich, with his tour party shortly after 10a. m. Monday on a chartered DC -3. He will be met by Local Party officials. He will then proceed by car to Wingham for an interview session at the CKNX- TV studios and then return to Goderich. He will be met by candidate Paul Carroll at the Goderich harbour where he will officiate at the christening of a 26' sailing sloop and respond to an appeal by the Canadian Yachting Associ- ation. Following the waterfront activ- ities, he will attend a luncheon at the home of Mary and Paul Carroll, 196 Wilson Street, Goderich, to which the general public is invited to attend. Refreshments will be served from 1 p.m. until 2. Stealing is a lark in this new morality giving it credibility and probably giving a few other people the idea to do the sante thing. It seems a sign of the times that the big business company is an open target and everybody scents to think it's a big joke to try to beat them. The consumer is king, and if the consumer wants to be a crook, it scents it's his God-given right. The C.B.C., on radio at least. has been carrying 00 over the past few months a running battle over collection agencies. 'The collection agency is a company that takes over an account when a business is unable to collect. The agency stakes its money by collecting the bad debt and keeping a percentage of the money collected. C.B.C. scented to think it was horrible the. way the agencies bantered people and chased them to try to get them to pay their bills. They were busy informing people of their rights so that they wouldn't be frightened by the big bad boys from the collection agency. But nowhere did there seem to be much criticism of this consumer who went out and bought things that he or she couldn't afford to pay for. No where did there seem to be any sympathy for the merchant or businessman who was stuck with a bad account and had to try to call in the collection agency in order to get the money owed. The person owing the money probably had Tots of chances to pay the bill before the agency was ever called in since few businessmen will want to give the agency a percentage of the money collected if there is any way they can get payment themselves. And there seems to be little thought given to the fact that a small minority of people who apparently love to run up bad debts can cause trouble for other consumers who pay their bills regularly. For one thing, probably more businesses go under every year because of bad debts than for any other reason. If a company makes a sale it proceeds as if it has the money, but if the buyer doesn't pay, the company is left to try to cover the bad debt from other sources( If it is able to recover from the loss, it is likely to try to make up the difference by raising prices to cover the revenue lost. Thus the "good" consumer can lose two ways: a business he counted on might go belly -up because of bad debts, or if it doesn't, it will charge more to cover bad debts. 'Thus the honest consumer has to help pay for the people like the writer of that article in Atlantic Monthly who scents to think it's a big lark to defraud people of thousands of dollars. The sad thing about that man is that he not only defrauded people, he got paid for writing an article praising his own little game. The only justice would be if his cheque from the magazine bounced for insufficient funds.
