Mr. Walden won the nomination uncontested when the only other nominee Dr. Gary Gurbin of Kincardine declined to let his name stand saying the party needed a candidate with plenty of time to campaign in order to contest the riding. The riding is presently held by Murray Gaunt who won the seat by 8600 votes for the Liberals in 1971. In accepting the nomination Mr. Walden ' said the riding had many problems to solve and it was essential that its member be on to solve and it was essential that its member be on the government side of the house to get the help needed. "Make no mistake" he said, "it will be a Conservative government after the September 18 election." Guest speaker at the meeting held in Kincardine town hall was Eric Winkler, chairman of the board of management of cabinet. He lashed out at the Liberal Leader Robert Nixon for being "extremely unjust" in his attack on the integrity of the Conservative government.' He .said the Conservatives under Mr. Davis had put Ontario into a position of leadership of Canada, indeed even in North America and this could only have been done through leadership and planning. He spent a good deal of his speach denouncing the figures used by Mr. Nixon to say how he would save money. The $50.60 million that the Liberal leader was going to slash from the education bill, he said, was really only 10 or 11 million. Mr. Nixon also promised to cut medical costs he said, but this would reduce the quality of service in every hospital in the province. But while Mr. Nixon was shaving budgets in some areas he had promised to bring in denticare which will add $600 million to the cost of health. Mr. Nixon, he said, saves $10 million one day and spends $500 million the next. • Mr. Winkler carried on the Conserva- tive's attack on the Federal government saying Ottawa was not giving Ontario enough money for housing in Ontario.

Flooded Maitland River claims A 22 -year-old Goderich man die.d Monday afternoon when his canoe overturned in the flood -swollen Maitland River at Auburn. The death was the only fatality connected with flooding caused by, severe rain storms late Saturday and early Sunday. The storm dumped huge amounts of water into the arca in about 12 hours. Estimates of the rainfall run from one and one half inches to five inches. The Bclgrave creek washed out the road north of Belgrave and county highway crews were busy throughout Sunday repairing washout damage. At Auburn the height of the Maitland was nearly as high as .at ,spring breakup. Norman Richard Stephens and Mark Dauphin, both of Goderich were on the river attempting to "shoot" the river from Auburn to Benmillcr, seven miles downstream when .tlie canoe overturned. Mr. Dauphin managed to swim to a rowboat nearby which was also going down stream with three passengers but Mr. Stephens was dragged .under the water. O.P.P. Constable Jim McLeod conducted the investigation and said the water was eight to 10 feet abovie normal. An Ontario t'rov►nc►al Police helicopter was called in to help search' for the body. Many area farmers awoke Sunday to find their unharvested crops floating in several inches or several feet of water. Large ponds appeared in several fields. In Blyth, however, the new storm sewer serving the east end seemed to withstand its first test well as few complaints were Countyrestructuring plan kept secret by councillors Two proposals for restructuring Huron county are now in the hand of Huron County councillors and will be discussed at a special meeting of county council. Thursday. il'he proposals from the county restruc- turing committee would reduce the number of municipalities in Huron from 26 to eight or twelve. • The councillors received the report last week and will debate the subject in a special closed sesssion on Thursday. . Warden Anson McKinley said Tuesday the restructuring committee - like all county committees - will be closed to the public when the restructuring possibilities arc discussed. Warden McKinley, chairman of the restructuring committee, said members are "quite adamant" that proposals be discussed without the press present "to permit open discussion." He said reform of local government, or talk of restructuring local government is a "political issue" and committee members are hoping discussion of the matter won't affect the campaign for the September 18 provincial election. And decisions made at the Thursday meetings or at any subsequent meetings would likely be presented at the next session of county council at the end of September, he said. The information on restructuring .possi- bilities that county council members are studying cannot be released unless approved by the restructuring committee, he said, and the committee will not decide that issue until Thursday. , However, it has been learned the two proposals for restructuring are based on assessment and population figures. • It is understood that under both proposals the town of Goderich would remain a separate entity within a restructured Huron County. The remaining seven units in the eight -unit • proposal would see the remaining four towns as well as the villages of Bayfield, Blyth, Hensall, Brussels and Zurich lumped together with CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 life of man heard from the area about wet basements.

Gaunt unopposed for Liberals Murray Gaunt was named unopposed as the candidate for the Liberal party for Huron -Bruce riding in the upcoming Ontario provincial election at a meeting held in Wingham on Monday night. Mr. Gaunt who won the riding by a majority of 8600 votes in the 1971 election was given a standing ovation by the crowd of about 250 persons in attendance at the Wingham town hall, as he strode to the platform. In his acceptance speech he reviewed the last tour years and said it was the busiest since 'le entered politics by winning a by-election in 1962. He was a member of the standing committee on the Workmen's Compensation Board whose investigation led to a task force being set up to improve the workings of the board, He also took an active part in the Liberal leadership convention backing the leader- ship of Robert Nixon. He was a member of the inquiry in to the dealings surrounding the awarding of the contract for the Ontario Hydro headquarters to Gerhard Moog, a friend of Pcrmier Davis. But his greatest thrill, he said, was witnessing the winning of a staunch Conservative riding to the Liberals in the 1972 by-election in Huron. He was proud, he said, to have played a part in that victory. 'The issues in the election, he said, were CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 • PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 27, 1975. This 'n' That Blyth Inn changes hands again The Blyth Inn has changed hands again. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Kowalachuk sold the business effective Monday to Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson. The Kowolachuks have moved to Kincardine where Harry will be employed at Douglas Point. *** The new report recommending reorganization of the Huron County council is now in the hands of council members, We haven't had a look but a source says Blyth is included in an area with Brussels, Morris, township and Grey township. Reeve Lawrie said he could confirm this or discuss the report until it is released before the full council. It is to be hoped that the report will get a full public airing before any hash decisions are made. It's also to be hoped our source is wrong about the new align- ment. That can hardly be termed an improvement. *** Oscar deBoer, who has been manager of the Blyth branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce for several years has been transferred to the Ottawa arca. The new manager will be John Cooper now stationed in Port Elgin. Mr, Cooper is a native of Clinton. *** How much does it cost to get elected. Well the Liberals in Huron -Bruce, it was revealed at the nomination meeting in Wing - ham on Monday night, plan to spend about $12,000 in the upcoming election. The budget for the 1971 election was $6500 but that was before inflation and before the riding was greatly enlarged. *** Sitting listening to tiic political speaches, can be tough work, particularly when one has to worry about a politician yelling misquote when something he doesn't like appears in the paper. There can be lighter moments however when one catches a politician making a booboo or just plain contradicting himself. The Hon. Eric Winkler provided an example of the latter the other night in Kincardine when early in his speach he blasted the federal government for not providing more money for housing and later in the speach bragged that Ontario had the finest senior citizens housing in Canada. The Federal government provides the bulk of the money for senior citizens housing. Howson & Howson 't Buyers of ONTARIO BA, DRIED 6RN Call , s for,a price ti 523-424f \\ Howson & Ho\wson Ltd.

' Telephone 523.9666 ERIC WINKLER Attacks Nixon CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 money was coming from Ontario, he said but it wasn't coming back: The Ontario taxpayer is being "taken for a ride" by the federal government, he said. Both federal government budgets, he charged, worked directly against Ontario. The Federal government is now pulling out of health care cost sharing, he said, just as the Ontario government has always expected, but despite this, "we'll see that no one suffers." t-te warned that if the Liberal party ruled in both Ottawa and Ontario "the future doesn't look too bright." "It's this government who will stand up for the people," Mr. Winkler said. He said criticism of the Ontario education system is unjustified because the results show that there are now more children graduating from grade 13 than ever before and more arc going to university than ever before. Education, he said, makes people better citizens. He admitted the education system wasn't perfect, but said "despite the difficulties, we've got the best system." The senior citizens housing program and the free drug program for seniors put Ontario far ahead of the rest of Canada he said. He blasted the federal government on the subject of transportation saying that despite the recommendation of the federal committee saying rail service should be restored to western Ontario this hasn't been done. This, he said, has thrown a strain on the provincial government which must compensate by providing better road service. He said the price freeze imposed on gas and ,oil by Mr. Davis showed the kind of strong leadership the Conservatives could offer. Restructuring CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 their surrounding townships. The 12 -unit proposal differs only in that all five towns would remain separate entities while the remaining villages and townships would form seven separate municipalities. Warden McKinley said the proposals were based on statistical information amassed by the restructuring committee since it began its study earlier this year. The proposed amalgamations are not formal recommendations from the commit- tee to county council, he said, but merely suggestions designed to spark discussion. "We want to get the councillors together to get their views on some of these suggestions," he said. The restructuring committee has studied the operations of two reformed county governments - Oxford and Essex • and has been reporting to county council on its findings. The cost of administering the county government this year has been estimated at $311,000, while the 26 muiicipalities will cost about $684,000. More than $14.5 million is raised by county municipalities from all sources, including grants. Huron County raises $3.25 million of that total. Riddell attacks CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the centralization practices of the Davis government, regional government, and the spending binge of the Davis government. This year, he said, the people of Ontario would pay $682 million in interest payments, a rate of $285 for every family in Ontario. "In good tines," he said, "Ontario has a deficit. In bad times, it has a bigger deficit." There is too much fat at Queen's Park he said. A Liberal government if elected would immediately move to cut some of the fat by getting rid of the super ministries for a saving of $2.7 million, making a 50 per cent reduction in public relations and advertising for a 7,5 million saving and cut out experimentation in such things as magnetic levitation railways for a $1.6 million saving per year. Cutting the government expenditures, he said, will not only cut taxes but will in the long haul lead to lower interest rates and lower prices. Guest speaker for the evening was Jack Riddell, M.P.P. for Huron. In an aggressive, hard hitting speech he attacked the Davis government from all sides. The government, he said, was doing nothing to stem the flow of agricultural land out of production at a rate of 26 acres every hour. The decline in farm land, he said, is helped along by the low income of farmers. The government's own statisti-:�, he said, showed net farm income in Ont;,.' ) County -wide housing A county wide public housing authority in Huron was favorably accepted by about SO elected representatives and municipal clerks recently at a special meeting in Goderich. • The establishment of the authority wr supported by the group as n option , to small authorities now operating in authority Goderich and Clinton to handle Huron's 350 units of existing or planned public units of housing. The county authority would permit more local input into decision making in public accommodation and end the rural dependence on larger urban centres, according to Jim Slicter, a representative of the Ontario THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 27, 1975. PG. 3. After the tough talk of the nomination night at the Liberal nomination meeting in Wingham on Monday night, Blyth's singing Scotsman Jim Lawrie provided some lighter moments with a song and dance. Among those enjoying the performance were M.P.P.'s Murray Gaunt and Jack Riddell on the stage. Davis government policies would drop 8.5 per cent this year. He called the government's allocation of $20 million farm income stabilization ridiculous pointing out that if the amount was appplied to hog production alone it would mean only $6 per pig. In British Columbia with far fewer farmers, the government had provided $27 million he said. Despite the government's attempts to down play regional government to a "red herring" thrown into the campaign by the Liberals, Mr. Riddell said, there will be regional, government from one end of Ontario to the other within two years if the government is re-elected. He pointed out that Mr. Davis' denials of regional government have always included the phrase "at this time". He attacked the high cost of regional governments saying the cost went up $250,000 in Hamilton -Wentworth in the first year without.any addition in services offered. He said the education system is in a mess. The blame he said is not with teachers being ill -qualified or not doing their job properly, but with the system itself. Ontario Hydro, he charged, is "out of control". He said Ontario Hydro already has facilities for 38 per cent production over capacity and now is planning to spent $14 billion to expand its capacity in the next five years. The cost of electricity which has already risen greatly in the past two years will double in the next three years, he predicted. He called Mr. Davis' fight with Ottawa a "phony war". While Mr. Davis complains about an oil increase in this an election year, he said, last year the premier accepted a $2.70 a barrel increase. The Davis government, he said, continually puts political gain ahead of the interests of the people, Mr. Davi's put 'on a freeze on the cost of home heating oil in themiddle of summer when it isn't needed, he said, but the freeze expires October "1 when heating oil will begin to be needed. October 1, he noted is conveniently after the election. While . the provincial Liberals have consistently opposed the Pickering airport, Mr. Riddell said, the Davis government has done nothing until now, iti an election year when the federal government is about to begin building, Davis says he won't provide the services for the airport. A chance in government is needed, he said, to bring back accountability in government. debated by councillors housing ministry's special committee on public housing management. Mr. Slicter pointed out that other than the two small authorities in Goderich and Clinton the management of senior citizen and low income housing which exists or is planned in Blyth, Brussels, Bayfield, Huron P.C. candidate says no power plant unless wanted ' - Thcrewill be no Hydro plant in ;Huron county unless the people of thecounty want one there. • That is the promise of the • Progressive Conservative candi- date ' - in, the Huron -Middlesex riding jn. the upcoming provincial el'ection;.,James Hayter of Goder- :; ; ich.' ';Mr. Hayter in a meeting with members of the press as the campaign 'got underway, produced a letter from Ontario Hydro to him stating that no plans, short or long range,' had been made for establishing a hydro plant in Huron County. The letter said that plans for Hydro's expansion until 1992 did not include any sites in Huron. He pointed out that Ontario Hydro's plans for expansion would come under public scrutiny at the Porter Commission hearings. Mr, Hayter said he was not against Hydro expansion in Huron bt' was not for it. He said electricity was important to the province as well as the county of Huron but added. the exact location of a plant would be up to local residents. "Any decision to build a plant in Huron County will not be made in Toronto, It will be made here," said Mr, Hayter. As a representative of a member of the Progressive Conservative Association, he said, he would sponsor a public survey to ascertain the feelings of the residents for the riding and • then act on those findings. Mr. Hayter said industrial growth in the arca must be both encouraged and controlled, He urged urban municipalities to promote their industrial parks and with provincial help encour- age industries to establish there. "Keep industry confined to industrial parks in towns and fill them up," he said. "There'sno need to allow them to spring up Fetter skelter. Regional government, he claimed, is a dead issue. He said the people of Huron have made their point over regional govern - theft in Toronto and they will not get a regional government unless they want it. Hensall, Exeter, Wingham and Seaforth, is under the direction of the Ontario Housing Corporation. J. V. Cook, branch manager of OHC for Southwestern Ontario, told the gathering that two large offices of OHC now handle all matters in Huron. He explained that all housing_ in the northern t portion of the county is handled by the Kitchener office while the south is managed from the London office. The takeover by the county would be economical from a staff point of view, according to Mr. Cook, He said not only would the county:authority provide full time housing management, mainten- ance and clerical staff but economies of staff and OHC staff travel would also be realized. The establishment of a seven member Huron housing authority would not mean instant abolition of the Goderich and Clinton authorities, The members, seven appointed federally, seven pro- vincially and one by the county, would all be residents here and would serve on the management board without pay. He suggested the proposed board meet 10 times annually. The plan met with instant approval with some local officials. Goderich Mayor Deb Shewfe;t embraced the plan pointing out • that it would end the "hit and run basis" current authorities operate under. Clinton reeve Harold Lobb supported the suggestion saying the new authority could provide regular reports to council that. may serve to end Clinton's problem of management and maintenance. 1975 NORTHERN TOCKER & FEE ► ER -SALES W RTON - Thurs. ept. 4 10,1' a.m., +1800; IARTON - Thur .

JcohoI is poison in more than one way Alcohol is one of the biggest problems of our times. While we worry mut the war in the Middle East, while we bicker about bilingualism the national scene, thousands of people each year in Canada waste vay their lives because of immoderate use of this the most socially :ccptablc drug, 'I'hc problems of alcohol abuse have led many concerned citizens to el they must light to keep it from being a bigger problem. But how? For some the answer seems to be to make alcohol as hard to get as hssiblc. But history has proven it just doesn't work. Simply passing ws against alcohol doesn't lead to a drop in consumption; We have ten that in fairly recent history with prohibition when the only change as that the drive for illegal alcohol only led to all sorts of other horrid •imes. For many years Huron county was one of the last dry" .areas in ntario. The result was that the bootlegger was one of the most apular, (if not most respected) men in town. Booze was harder 19 get, cost more, but people still managed to get it and over consume. it acid tin their lives with it. Yes, alcohol can be harmful.

The men were painting the building, the back of which posed quite a problem when it was discovered thousands of bees were using the brickwork for hiving purposes and naturally resented the invasion of Messrs.

Progress is the keynote around CKNX these days as work goes ahead at a rapid pace on all phases of the television opera- tion. It was just 14 years ago that the present radio towers arrived at the railroad siding in Wing - ham,. heralding the new increased power of CKNX Radio. On Friday, August 26, a train pulled in at Walkerton bearing the immense steel beams and sec- tions, which will grow in the gigantic 650 foot television tower, in a few short weeks. Work on the transmitter station has almost been completed and installation of technical equipment will begin shortly. Work is also progressing on the studios located at Wingham. If progress continues at the present rate, it is not too improbable that a test pattern may be broadcast on channel 8, somewhere around the end of October. Interested people are more than welcome to visit the transmitter and studio sites. 30 years ago WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1945 Congratulations to Mrs. Borden Cook who celebrated her birthday on Wednesday, August 29.

Writer tired of liquor arguments Dear Editor, Now for a look at the other side of the liquor store question. First of all, 1 am not a drunken meat buyer or a• besodden automobile operator. As a matter of fact, for myself, 1 don't care one way or the other whether Blyth ever gets an outlet for selling beer and liquor. Except that progress is progress and the more stores and industries that Blyth can get the better off we all will be. ' But 1 am getting awfully sick and tired of the chosen, few dictating to the rest of us what we should and should not do, and expecting the rest of us to follow in their footsteps. If they believe in absolute abstention, fine and dandy, but to expect the whole community to do likewise is ridiculous. Of course, there are arguments on both sides of the question. But we're talking as if the present outlets are 100 miles away! It is relatively easy for anyone to. get liquor now - so what difference will it really make if Blyth sells the stuff or not?

JENE MILLER,Ph.D. Did you ever want a Tickertape Parade down the streets of New York City -- or your city? Most of us have envied the love and honor showered upon a returning "hero" who sits on the back of a convertible and rides in glory at a nation's highest form of public tribute. Every eye is on the Honorees, everyone is therefor them, to pay homage to them! And yet, a parade is ' lots of people: bands, twirlers, chauf- feurs, pretty girls, handsome men, soldiers, drivers, horses, and riders, policeto direct traffic, street cleaners, and all those who line its path. Well, we got a parade! And it is not for me, nor for you. It is for Jesus, the Christ! He's our Honoree, and our Purpose. We are the paraders and the spectators who come to honour Him. And it takes a lot of people to make a parade -- otherwise it is just one or a few people blocking traffic! If you're out. for . your own selfish interests`, .•r whether to ,"get into' Heaven"., to avoid sacrificeor to ease your ownguilt -- we, won't please, you. But, if .you'd like to be part of a 'parade '.where Jesus will be' the only Honoree..;a parade which is 'designed. . to •express ,love and gratitude; to Jesus...which means walking, even the' Second Mile, forgiving • 70 x 7, . tithing your ' incutne, being loyalin attending Church ..and .in; 'serving the Wprld..and ;taking up you 'own Cross: ;daily.::if you'd like to be '•partof;a,•parade'like that, then •HAVE''WE••GOT.'A PARADE ,FGR :YOUII', And in 'honoring Him, we take GIVE BLOOD E LIFE on His identity because he is our Master and Lord, and it is His Spirit which dwells in us! We'd love to have you in His Parade, "Marching as to Love"! Rev, Raymond C. Lindsay officiated at the double -ring ceremony. Mrs. Edna Holman was organist.

EVIL PREVAILS WHEN GOOD MEN DO NO THING SORRY For the mistake in last week's ad! THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 27, 1975. PG. 7. The Minister's Study We are afraid of real freedom REV. STANLEY C. MCDONALD I once read about a man who was put in prison. At first he loliged for freedom. He used to beat his hands against the walls of his cell and press his face to the iron bars of the tiny window. But weeks went by, and months and years. No one set him free. But then at last someone came and did just that. The door of his cell was thrown open and he was told, "You can go". He stood there as though he had not heard, "The door is open! You can go! You are free!" But still he stood there. He had been a prisoner so long that the thought for freedom and the great world outside frightened him. "I'd rather stay here," he said. That can happen. Men can become so accustomed to bonage that they prefer it to liberty. We conclude our thoughts this week on the Open Doors to which god gives us the key. We conclude with the Door called FREEDOM. As the above story indicates, it can happen that men can become so accustomed to bondage that they prefer it to liberty. Inside themselves that can happen. Christ offers us the glorious liberty of sons of God. He calls us to a service that is perfect freedom. He calls us to his way of life, which is life indeed; he offers us his strength to live by and it is•made perfect in weakness; he bids us come to him that his joy might be in us and our joy may be full. It is real freedom for the self that he has to give. There arc some who prefer their own way of life to his, who trust their own puny strength rather than his, who prefer their own anemic notions of happiness to his joy in love and service. That is the choice we all have to make, between the bondage of self and the freedom of Christ, God has opened the door and no man can shut it, But we have to make up our own minds whether we will go through it, whether we will accept the freedom wherewith Christ can set us free.

These systemic insecticides, which are absorbed into the cattle's body, should only be applied from September 15 to November 30. Professor Wright advises cattlemen against treat- ing their cattle in December, January or February since the cattle grubs are located primarily in the gullet or spinal cord at that time of year. Grubs killed in these' areas stimulate the body's defences and adverse side effects may occur. If treatment is to take place during this time, it should be done under a veterinarian's Auburn and Mrs, Gordon Miller visited in Toronto last week with her daughter, Mrs, Ronald Elliott and Mr. Elliott.

According to Professor Wright, systemics should also be used on non -lactating dairy cattle, if they have been exposed to adult warble flies during the summer, He points out that these systemics will reduce the popula- tion of cattle lice but not eliminate them. Other insecticides may have to be used on heavily infested animals. Before any insecticide is applied, Professor Wright advises cattlemen to read the labels carefully. The factsheet prepared by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food entitled "War on Warbles", Order No. 75-061, is currently undergoing revision and is expected to be published in August. 4 w Cu It ains For B.J.'s!

THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 27. 1A75. BY BILL SMILEY A friend brought to my notice a news story the other day, He wanted' my opinion of its contents. The story was headed: Former War Prisoners Hol d Prairie Reunion. It stated that more than 500 former prisoners of war from 13ritain, the United States and Canada gathered at Moose Jaw recently for a 30th reunion. The rest of the story was a little nauseating. The reunion was held in "an atmosphere not unlike the prison Ct,nlps they survived in wartime." There was barbed wire, a bazooka, two machine- guns, a German flag, people dressed up in German uniforms, and caricatures of ‘var-tinge German officers. I gave my reaction to my friend: "A bunch of middle-aged boys clinging to the only real thing that ever happened to tllenl." That sounds harsh, at first glance, if it's possible to glance at something and hear it. But it satisfied ,ny friend, "It's incredible," he said. "I too would like to sec some of my old friends from prison camp, but to talk, not to play games." I agreed. I would like to sec some of my old friends from prison camp. For about half an hour. Not for a three-day reunion, Farm Credit changes knocked by McKinley Changes in the Farm Credit Act nave been improvements but the improvements have been ineffect- ive by government regulations, says Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron -Middlesex. Mr, McKinley, who is Conser- vative party whip and agricultural critic, said Bill C•34 allows a five-year phase-in period for young farmers between the ages of 18 and 35 and for a higher ceiling to the value of the loans but this has been negated in a large part by regulations initis d by the Minister of Agriculture and the Department of Agricul- ture. He made the claim in a letter to constituents delivered in August. He also criticized the Agricul- tural Stabilization Act which provides a minimum return to (he producer of 90 per cent on the average farmgate price in the past live years. This, he said, would do nothing to stabilize farm income, Actually he said, the bill is little changed from the original stabilization act. introduced several years ago. "In its original form it was much more effective than these amendments will be," he said. Recent developments, he said, point out the need for a long-term industrial milk policy as promised by the government for some time. 'the doubling of the levy (used to subsidize exports) has effect- ively wiped out the higher subsidy granted to dairy produc- ers a year ago. When you realize there are five or six dairy, producers in Ontario leaving the business every day, you would probably agree there is a need for long-term policies to ensure a stable and confident industry," Mr, McKinley said. They were memorable days but there's no sense trying to recapture them now with wives tagging along. And perhaps this is why I don't attend the annual reunion of former prisoners -of -war, though I am invited every year, And 1 guess I'm not the only one, There were 500 at this reunion, from three Countries. Where are all the others? There were 10,000 airmen in the camp 1 was in, only one of many. A couple of other items emerged from the news story. Guess where the chaps were entertained? In the officer's' mess at Moose, Jaw. Secondly, it was the first reunion of POWs in 30 years to be held outside Toronto. What does this suggest? To me, a little clique of Toronto- based ex -officers who have kept the thing going, for who knows what adolescent s..1isfaction. Whatever you may have heard or read elsewhere, prisoners of war who were officers didn't suffer all that much. I know. I was there. We were not required to work in factories or mines or on farms as were "other ranks." I know of no Canadian officer who starved to death, though grub was mightly sling in the last few months. Perhaps one in 1,000 was beaten up for sonic misdemeanor. i was one of them, and it was my own fault. It was no bed of roses, and I don't minimize the skill and daring of those who tried to escape, but, looking back, it was all juvenile and Boy Scoutish: lookouts, secret passwords, dis- guises, caving -in tunnels, inter - Minable planning, and end results about as dramatic as one degree Celsius. There was suffering, of course, but it was not beatings and torture and starvation, not for Canadians. It was not physical, but psychological. As far as military discipline went, most of the bodies had far more freedom than they had had on their units. But there was the simple fact that you were in jail, and somebody would shoot you if you tried to get out (quite the opposite to modern Canadian jails). And there was the great feeling of waste, of knowing that the best years of your life were going down the drain, while other young men were kissing girls and chinking acr and staying up all night and doing all the other foolish things young men do, 'i'here was boredom and mono- tony and stagnation and frustra- tion and a little lurking )'car that the latrine rumors alight be true - that Hitler had ordered the SS to eliminate all P.O,W.s when Germany faced ultimate defeat. But there were compensations, There was a tremendous sense of oneness against the enemy. There was the fascinating meet- ing of different ideas and cultures, a great and almost immediate education in itself. Throw into one Soon the following: a young actor from the London stage, a kid from a prairie Warm, a Glasgow toughie, a Dublin hooligan, an Australian sheep farmer, a Welsh poet, a Rhodesian schoolboy, a Norwegian railworker, That's a bare sample. Toss in an American from California and a West Indian singing calypsos and a Belgian bookmaker and a Polish count and a few other assorted odds and sods, and you had a typical group - at least in my camp. I wonder where they all are? Most of then, certainly, are a long way front Moose Jaw and a small group from Toronto whose members can afford to fly to a convention and try to recapture something that is gone forever, For the same reason, 1 have stopped gong to reunions. of old lighter pilots. I went to a couple. Enjoyed them, But there is a tendency to maudlinism, exaggeration and downright lying about long -gone days. These pot-bellied, bald, wife•ridden, right -leaning, class-conscious, middle-aged poops are my old comrades? No %lay..' My memories of prison camp and fighter -piloting arc far more fun than meeting some red-faced paunch who roars over the noise from the bar: "Hey, yeah! Aren't you .lack? Jack Wiley? Yeah! We were at Sagan together. (I was at Barth). Wancha talneet the All "the wife" wants is, not to meet nie, but to be sure that George is on his feet for the final evening's ball, at which she will peer, with her sad, crumpled 50 -year old face, at all the other said, cramped 50 -year old ladies and wonder what the hell the kids are up to while she's hoofing it up in Moose Jaw. I told a little of this to my friend. He understood. He was a German officer with Rommel, badly wounded in North Africa, spent three years in a U,S. prison camp, and is now a Canadian citizen.

I'm sorry to tell you that it won't be possible now because last week my fiance and 1 went a little further than we meant to and I am no longer a virgin. The problem I am writing about is this: 1 always heard and read about how wonderful sex was and THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 27, 1975. PG. 13. She can't wear a white gown at her wedding now I was looking forward to a thrilling experience. Instead, it was very uncomfortable. In fact, I had no pleasure whatsoever -- just a lot of pain, I'm afraid to try it again and my fiance is ashamed of himself for hurting me. He doesn't know what to make of it, 1 -le is a very thoughtful and considerate person and feels worse about this than I do, i'lease tell ale what to do, Harold has been with a couple of other girls before he met me and he says he never had any problems with them. l need your help, .Ann. In fact, we both do, Thank you. -- No White Gown and Bridal Veil For Me DEAR NO: First, go ahead and Black ergot found in area barley crops Some barley crops in this area of the province have been struck by a poisonous fungus that can be deadly if consumed by humans or animals... The fungus, called ergot has been found in barley crops in Middlesex, Huron and Perth counties. Stan Paquette. associ- ate agricultural representative at the Clinton office of the Ministry of Agriculture and f(xxl said the fungus is spread fairly evenly throughout Huron county with central and southern areas bit hardest because of the Targe amount of grain grown there. He said he didn't want to throw a scare into people because the fungus problem isn't serious in Huron. "We just want farmers to be aware of its existence." "Although ergot is common on many grasses, particularly rye, it is seldom considered a serious problem in barley," says patholo- gist R. E. Pitblado, and crop specialist A. McLaren, at? the Ridgetown College of Agricul- tural Technology. "But this year, extremely favorable condi- tions for this disease infection occurred at. the time of barley Dowering, resulting in several crgoty fields." The specialists indicate that the ergot, or black foreign bodies, contain chemicals harmful to the circulatory systems of animals. Barley that contains 0.1 percent or more 110 • 12 -ergots per quart of seed' should be considered dangerous as Iced. Barley infest- ed with high levels of ergot can cause abortions, nervous system disorders, gangrene of extremi- lies, reduced milk production and, in extreme cases, death, if livestock are fed Iargc quantities of crgoty ,grain.' The • black ergot bodies arc found in the heads of barley, occupying the place of the affected barley kernel: protruding outwards two to three times the length of the kernel. However, some of the ergot bodies are small in size or just larger than the grain itself'. The fungus growth may fall to the ground and survive through the winter to produce spores next. spring, or may be found in. grain bins at. harvest. 'i'he Ridgetown specialists say that the problems with ergot can be minimized by screening the grain through fine screens similar tt) those used in seed -cleaning plants. Grain slightly to moder- ately contaminated can be diluted and used by mixing with clean grain, such as corn, oats, etc. Ergoty fields can also be "cleaned -up", by rotating to a non -host crop such as corn, beans or hay. "Under no circumstances .should crgoty grain be fed to pregnant or lactating animals or_ to very. young livestock," they wart', Because ergot affects various weed grasses (quackgrass, for example), the sotjces for ergot outbreaks will always exist. But both Pitblado and McLaren conclude that since so many factors, including high relative humidity, ideal temperatures and spore release, must all come into play at once, serious problems with ergot in barley, except in localized areas, are not anticipat- ed. A Hensall feed mill, W. G, Thompson and Sons Ltd., has had to reject some local shipments of feed barley which contained heavy concentrations of the fungus, manager Doug Mann said last week. Thompson is only accepting barley containing one ergot per pound or less in the variety Herta, the only type which appears'to be affected by the fungus, said Mr. Mann. Farmers selling infected barley at the acceptable level however, are receiving the regular price 'of $2.15 per bushel because the lighter occurrence or ergots can be screened out, he said, Malt barley, used in' brewing beer, hasn't been affected by the disease. Hensall Co-op manager Archie Cooper said he hasn't had to reject infected barley because the screening process would elimin- ate the. ergots. Cook's Division of Gernro Col.p., another Hensall feed dealer,'doesn't buy Herta barley. Agricultural representatives' in the affected counties report the fungus is more widespread than any time in the past eight to 10 years. Mannings and Decorators win 'On Sunday, August 24 the Manning Lumber Kings and the Lawrie Decorators recorded victories in the Blyth Industrial Softball League. In the first game Mannings downed the Radford Gravel Giants 9 to 7.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm a grandfather in my late 60's who needs some sensible advice, My son-in-law is about to divorce my daughter after 30 years of marriage. I must admit the fault lies with my daughter. She has a terrible temper, a quick tongue, and can be very nasty. She has had fights with both sides of the family and alienated every neighbour she has ever lived next to, My son-in-law, on the other hand, gets along with everyone. An the relatives are very fond of hint. I feel I ought to tell my daughter that her husband is about to walk out on her, but 1 don't know how to broach the subject. I'm afraid she'll tear me to pieces. An early reply can do a lot to save this marriage. •- Dad DEAR DAD: Don't bet the rent, That marriage has probably been in trouble for a long time. Furthermore, it's between him and her. So MYOB, Daddy. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Did you read in the newspaper how a court decided in the case of that Connecticut waitress who refused to shave her legs because the men who waited tables weren't re- quired to shave theirs? Apparent- ly she considered her boss's request "sexist." Well, honeybun, according to law, the owner of an eating place can fire a hairy -legged lady on the grounds that the boss has the right to set grooming standards. Obviously someone involved in the case wrote to you before it got to court, You said the woman should not be forced to shave her legs, and suggested that both men and women who waited tables should be required to wear opaque stockings. What do you think NOW? •- Just Askin' DEAR J.A.: The same as I did before. * * * Ann Landers discusses teen- age drinking -- its myths, its realities.

Rhodes announced today, The new law, under Section 120 of The Highway Traffic Act, requires traffic travelling in both directions to halt when a stopped school bus flashes its alternating red signal lights regardless of the posted speed limit. Traffic may not proceed until the school bus resumes motion or its red lights • affixed to both the front and rear of the bus - stop flashing. Failure to stop for a school bus with its alternating red signal lights flashing carries a penalty of four driver demerit points and a maximum fine of $100. Previously, the stop -in -both - directions rule required drivers to stop only when the maximum speed limit was greater than 35 miles per hour. The new law applies regardless of the posted speed limit - on highways divided by a median strip. Then, only vehicles behind the school bus must stop upon seeing the flashing red lights. Oncoming traffic on the opposite side of the median may proceed. A median strip is a physical barrier or an unpaved strip of ground separating traffic travell- ing in one direction from traffic travelling in the opposite direc- tion, With the new Sept. 1 law, each municipality will have the author- ity to enact by-laws designating local school bus loading zones. In these loading zones, the school bus driver will not be permitted to flash the vehicle's alternating red lights. The loading zones will have identifying signs, and can be located only on the same side of the road as a school or non -school facility often visited by school children and . teachers • for example, .The Royal Ontario Museum, where many school bus loads of students and teacher Fitness: something that no one else can do for you.
