Blyth CounciPors big headaches The mobile home issue flamed again at the September meeting of Myth village council held Monday night and it seems likely the heat won't die down for a while yet. The issue was brought to a head by the application of I)oreen's Beauty Shoppc to locale 0 mobile to he used as a commercial establishment. The business will be located on 1)insley Street just behind Madill's. The stove was necessitated by the purchase of the former location of the shop on Queen Street by Don Scrimgeour of Blyth Meat Market. The situation was complicated because the mobile was moved to the location before the application came before council, tlra\ying a number of protests from those who had earlier wished to locate mobile homes in the village and had been denied under the village's bylaw forbidding the location of new mobile homes other than in a trailer park. Marion Machan wrote a letter to the council on the subject stating she had been denied permission for a mobile and had been forced to purchase a double -wide instead and protesting that the way to beat the bylaw seemed to be 10 move it lea>1 ,' in and then dare, the council to evict Hit, George Burkholder was also present at the meeting to protest the action. He said he had been interested earlier in moving a trailer onto his property to act as an office but had heen told by a councillor that he couldn't. He also wanted to locate a trailer on his property for his son to live in. There had been a trailer there earlier, he said, and the services were all in place. The councillors spent most of the evening discussing the issue. Clerk Treasurer Larry Walsh reviewed what other municipalities in the county do ranging all the: way from outright prohibition of mobiles to prohibition of mobiles to prohibition except in parks to acceptance anywhere. He also quoted Ontario Housing Minister Donald Irvine who proposed that legislation be brought in treating mobile homes the same as conventional housing. The councillors then began to consider one problem at a time and tackled the application for a permit to locate the trailer for a beauty salon. Councillor William I1 .%son pointed out that the loss of the beauty shop meant the loss of three jobs from the workforce. The business also brought many people into Blyth %vho would not normally shop here. he said. and they left many extra dollars it the local economy. 1 he colon illors discussed the predica- ment that had therm in a "damned if they don't, damned if they du" situation. Several mentioned that it they didn't approve the application they would lose business for the village and have half the women in town upset because of the loss of the shop. If they did approve the application, however, they would be in trouble with all those who wanted to locate a mobile home in the village. Mr. Walsh quoted the definition of 0 mobile home under the municipal act as a building with wheels that is used for eating and sleeping. Under the definition the proposed trailer diel not become 0 mobile home. Finally after lengthy discussion' the council voted to.allow location of the trailer in its present location for commercial purposes only for a three year period, with a review possible at any time after three years.: Getting to Mr. Burkholder, the council agreed that if he did apply to locate a trailer office in his property they would have to consider it. The situation concerning mobile homes, however, is uchanged. At present they will not be allowed for residential purposes. The problem may be eased soon because council is planning a meeting this week with a property owner about setting up a privately owned mobilo home park. It the proposal goes ahead mobile homes will then have a place to call home. The discussion took up most of the meeting and little other business was accomplished. Four catch basins were approved for installaion, two on the route of the new storm sewer. The councillors expressed some dissatisfaction with the. efforts. of the engineer on the project for not including the catchbasins will be installed on Drummond west at the corner of the alley that goes behind the stores in the arca. Despite weather large crowds enjoy 14th Thresher Reunion By SANDY McDONALD The 14th annual Blyth Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association Reunion held last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, attracted exhibitors and visitors from many parts of Ontario. Wet weather opening day created some mudholes but clear skies on Saturday dried out the fairgrounds allowing the daily parade of old-fashioned steam tractors, antique cars and heavy, draft horses, to go ahead as scheduled. Blyth village councillor, Bill Howson, acting on behalf of Reeve Robbie Lawrie, welcomed guests and participants at Friday's official opening. A guest speaker during Saturday's programme was incumbent MLA candidate for Huron -Bruce, Murray Gaunt; Progres- sive conservative candidate for the area, William Walden, of Wingham, was also in attendance, The 1975 edition of the Blyth steam show provided a continuous flow of entertain- ment throughout the three-day affair. Highlights of Saturday's programme_ were the old tytne fiddling and step -dancing contests. In the fiddling competition, which attracted 17 entries, 15 -year-old Kevin Reger, of Elmira, captured top honors; first prize in the step -dancing contest went to ten -year-old Anne Marie McQuaid, of Seaforth. Another youthful group of entertainers featured daily was the "Bradley Bunch", from Clinton. Accompanied by their father, Eugene, on the accordian, the seven youngsters sang a medley of Scotch and Irish songs throughout the programme. Saturday additional entertainment was provided by Clinton Legion Pipe Band; a brass band fror. Seaforth played on Sunday's programme, Another highlight, the horseshoe pitch- ing contest, attracted numerous competi- tors. The well-known entertainment duo of Earl and Martha Heywood were present; they were the "emcees" for the daily concerts and perforated themselves, as well. They also provided background music for the old-tyme fiddling and dancing competitions. During Sunday's programme, Emcee, Earl Heywood, asked for a round of applause for Simon Hallahan, secretary - treasurer of the-, Huron steam threshers association. He and fellow members of the executive said Earl had put a lot of effort into making the 1975 show a success. Mr. Hallahan, one of the founding members of the steam show, has been actively promoting the event for the past 14 years. "It is one .of the largest events of its kind in the province", stated Mr. Hallahan, "second only to the steam show at Milton." "We provide a daily programme that appeals to young and old alike; that accounts for the growing popularity of our steam show each year. No stranger to the old fashioned steam engine himself, he had threshed with that system until 1942. On Saturday, a carnival -like atmosphere was created by the presence of two old-fashioned military band organs. One of them was owned by G. S. Morley of Goderich, who displayed the instrument earlier in the summer during the arts festival in the court -house park, The other was the property of Capt. John Leonard, of St. Catharines. Captain Leonard's band organ was manufactured at Tonawanda, New York. Its history was printed on a plaque attached to the organ. Sunday's programme began with an outdoor ecumenical service led by Rev. Harold Snell, from the Exeter United Church. Guest spcakcr for the, occassion was Rev. Father Hardy from St. Joseph's parish, Clinton. More organ music was heard Sunday when a calliope, or steam organ, owned by Stanley Thompson, of Stratford, provided several pieces. One of the unusual displays in the arts and crafts building featured an exhibit of 1400 watch fobs owned by Adolf (Eddie) Kunkel, of Mount Elgin. Adding to the Blyth steam show's attractions was a mobile exhibit represent- ing Huron county museum, There was also a large collection of antique tools on display in one of the fairground exhibit halls, PG, 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 10, 1975. Dead stock companies bring back free pick-ups after pet food price increase • Free pick up of dead animals has been reinstituted by two of the arca dead stock removal companies, Garnet Smith of Atwood Pet Food Supplies announced the change at the Huron County Federation of Agriculture meeting held in Hensall on Thursday night. Mr, Smith was speaking on behalf of his company and Huron Dead Stock Removal of Clinton, both of which instituted the new policy on Friday. Mr. Smith was at the sleeting to explain the situation in the dead stock business after the issue had come up at the August meeting of the Federation held in Clinton. A committee had been set up at the time to investigate the concern of Federation members that some farmers were leaving dead animals in the open to rot because they would neither pay the $5 pick up fee asked by dead stock companies, or the cost of getting 0 backhoe to bury the animals. Adrian Kcet who was to make the report was not in attendance so the other members of the committee Mason Bailey and Jack Van Wondcren reported their findings, Mr. Bailey said the dead animal removal act ‘vas not well written as to the responsibilities of the farmer but did say that the owner of the animal had 48 hours to either bury an animal under at least two feet of earth or have it removed, Mr, Van Wondcren said the county health unit said there was little danger to human health from carcasses being left to rot, but that they were more a nuisance than anything else. 'there seemed to be nothing under county jurisdiction to deal with the problem he said. Mr. Smith the made his lengthy presentation including an explanation of the problems of the dead stock industry in the past two years. He said the free pick ups were being brought back because there had been small but steady increases in the amounts pard • for the nkat from the dead animals by the pct food companies in recent tinges. Last year, he said, the bottom had dropped out of the pct food market because the pct food conlpanics had been able to get all the neat they needed through the byproducts of the packing plants. It was virtually impossible to sell neat at all, he said. The dead stock companies were left to make all their money from selling meat for rendering into bone meal and from hides, both at very low prices, Layoffs at the Atwood and Clinton plants were heavy during the bad time. Now, Mr. Smith said, the operators hoped to be able to slake enough business through volume to get away without charging. Mr. Van Wonderen wondered if dropping the charge was a bad idea at this time, If the companies found it didn't work and had to go back to charging for pickups, perhaps even more than the $5 fee, it might bring more problems of resistencc from farmers, BUSINESS DIREC!OY he said, Mr. Smith has asked about problems with Sunday pickups and said there was no such problem at either the Atwood or Clinton plants. Each he said had several phones at various places so there was always someone around to answer the phone. Mr. Bailey stated that the present policy of O.F.A. calls for no dead animal meat to be used in pet foods but all to go • to rendering. This policy, he said, was designed to help bolster the market for beef producers by (t^touring older animals into the pct food system. Mr. Smith said he would support the idea of a rcndcring plant built locally to take the meat but prophesied other dead stock owners might not be. The price for the meat would have to be higher than at present however, Ile said. He would need about live cents a pound for the meat he said. He intimated he felt the present rendering companies are controlling the market so they can buy cheap and sell high. REID& PETERSON Chartered Accountants 218 JOSEPHINE ST. WINGIIAM ONTARIO TEL.

My parents live in this city and we take the children to sec their grandparents every other week. My mother is the problem. She talks of nothing but sickness and death. Her favorite topic is friends who have cancer. She goes into great detail about how they are suffering. If there was surgery, she knows all about it. Grandma is only 52 and in good health but she takes pills for the menopause as well as tranquiliz- ers and aspirin. She invites the children to watch her take her Grandma's gloom and doom scares the kids medicine and makes a big production out of it. 1 have told Mother that morbid talk is unhealthy for children. She pays no attention. It's the same story every time we go over there. What should be done about this? Troubled DEAR T.: Whenever Grandma starts to talk about illness or death, change the subject to something cheerful and happy. If she returns to the gloom -and - doom recitals, cut in and say, "Your sad stories spoil our visit, Mother. Please read the children something from this book." Then whip out "Dr. Doolittle" or "Francine, Your Face Would Stop A Clock," by Mell Lazarus. In other words, get control of the conversation and don't let go.

He taught me more about what a Christian's power is than all my seminary professors! I was doing a "prcacning mission" in Portales, New Mex- ico. Each morning, after he had been to Church the night -before, he would write the sermon as a, news story. The very first time I saw the story of my sermon, I was put into a kind of shock: here was a dedicated Christian trying to use the power of the press to extend Mike Healy dies suddenly at home N1ICIIAIL THOMAS Ill?ALY Michael Thomas Healy of Blyth died suddenly at his home in 13I\ th on September 4, 1975.

And I realized that the Church is supposed to be preaching Good 'News, when it often isn't even preaching "news" at all! So, I put aside all the ideas I had planned to use and began to bear my Christian witness dir- ectly on issues of the day. - I almost wound up in a lawsuit with an Oklahoma draft -dodging college drop-out, and I felt more fulfilled in preaching the Word of God than I ever had before!

The issue facing the Church in this day is simply whether the Word from the Church is either "good" or "new", And a world which is dying on the words of men does not need a Church which cannot speak a Word from God, nor will it be listening long to such a Word.

Bren de Vries, a former Rector between 1955 and 1958, pointed out to the congregation that the church docs not exist of bricks and mortar, but of the people of God. He further suggested that we should have a desire to introduce others to the living Christ. Likening Faith to war, he said that it is not war against anyone, but war for everyone - for God and for his creation. Mr. de Vries now resides in Preston. Another firmer rector, the Rev. J. Keith Stokes of Leamington ,was in attendance as were two widows of former Rector's Mrs. W.B. Hawkins and Mrs. R.M. Weekes of London.

Phone 523-4412 "The smallest Shop in Town with the Biggest Values." Now that's a convention By BILL SMILEY Boy, dat's wan big countrec" was my bilingual thought as I winged across the Great Lakes, over the wild lake -and -rock terrain of Northwestern Ontario, and then high above the prairies, as I headed for the weekly newspaper convention in Saska- toon. That's about the essence of Canada. It's so big, so beautiful, and so varied that it's almost frightening. Perhaps only a well -travelled Russian could feel the sense of awe that I felt, after a brief look at just a small piece of this fantastic land of ours. In seven days I covered about 40,000 miles by almost every mode of transportation except ox -train, and I saw only the most veritable nook, the smallest cranny of this vast, fascinating country. It's quite an age. At 6:30 on one on those wickedly hot days for which the past summer has been notorious, I'm kissing my tearful wife goodbye, She was crying because we were going to be separated for a whole week, and because 1 might fall among evil companions, which I did. At about 11:30 the sank morning. with a couple of time changes thrown in, I'm walking into the Bessborough Hotel, some 1,500 miles away on a lovely, cool, Septemberish day. A week later, after a reunion (we were almost shy with each other) in a Toronto hotel, we are pounding up the three -lane highway in my old road -schooner, headed for home. The hours between the depar- ture and the homecom:ng seemed to flash by, and yet I felt that I'd been away for a month, I'd seen so much and covered so much ground, not to mention air and water. I had eaten everything from those awful, frozen airline meals, where you almost rupture your- self trying to get the plastic top off the pat of butter, to haute cuisine, fowl, stuffed with wild rice, to fresh pickerel fillets straight out of_the frying pan at a shore dinner. I'd heard some good speeches, John Diefenbaker, on home ground, with no need to politic, is unbeatable as an entertainer. Otto Lang, also in his home province, gave me some assur- ance that at least one of our federal ministries is in cool hands. And most amazing of all was the high official from the postal service, standing up there and trying to tell weekly editors that we have a good postal service, and will have a great one, It's a wonder he wasn't stoned to death. But his homework had been done, and his footwork was excellent: He almost convinced me. Essence of his message was to get that postal. code on your mail, When it comes to holding a convention, those Saskatchewan weekly editors don't have to play second fiddle to anyone. This convention was well organized, varied and colorful. It included a side trip to the battlefield of Batoche, where; Gabriel Dumont's metis took on the regular army and gave it a bloody nose, during the Riel Rebellion. Another exceptionally interest- ing evening included a visit to Pionera. If you, are ever in Saskatoon, don't miss it. There is a complete reconstruction of a pioneer village, containing every- thing from a barber -shop to a bank, Along with this goes a huge exhibition of old machinery, used in the early days, and a display of handsome old automobiles that would make an antique car buff burst into tears of joy. Another colorful bit was the piping in of the colors at one of the banquets, and their formal presentation to the new Presid- ent, Ernie Ncufcld of Weyburn, Sask. And as an added fillip, there was a post -convention fishing trip into Northern Saskatchewan, one o1' the greatest fishing areas of the world, More about that later. For me, the best part of the convention was meeting old friends and making new ones, To the old ones, I am here to testify that you never looked better, 'I'o the new ones, I can only say there are some mighty nice people in this country, and you are among them. One thing that warmed my heart was the number of families in which the children arc involved in their parents' newspapers. In this age, most young people, for some reason, spurn the occupa- tion of their parents, and want to strike out on their own. This is understandable. But the number of second, and even third -gener- ation people sticking with the business shows that running a weekly newspaper still holds a lot of attraction for young, bright people. Some of them arc the Dcrksens of Estevan, the Cado• gans of New Brunswick, the Dills of Milton, the McConnells of Tilbury, There are many others. On the other side of the coin, of course, weekly editors and their wives are just like other people. Some of their offspring disturb them deeply. I must have a national reputation as an expert on "rotten kids," because I had both cars bent badly out of shape by mothers and fathers •'Who would corner me ,and tell mc, almost in tears;' of the latest "terrible" things their young- sters were up to. After my own experience in raising kids, nothing can even raise one of my eyebrows, but I hope 1 brought some comfort to the afflicted. Don't worry, chaps. Your kids will turn out all right, or all wrong, or somewhere in the middle, like most of us, and there's not a darn thing you can do about it, except to bite off the umbilical cord. A good convention. And next year it's off to Halifax and into the sea food. Already I can feel the juices dripping down my chin. OFFICIAL AGENTS Official Agent James A.

Our small businesses need help or face extinction BY KEITH ROULSTON There was a rare letter in Ann Landers' column in one of the daily newpapers a few days ago. I hope we won't gel in trouble by quoting the letter and Ann's answer because I think it's something that is seldom said and needs to be. Dear Aim Landers: I'd like to ask your readers a few questions, it's a matter of economic survival to pie as well as to millions of other "little people" who have small stoles. Who do you ask to cash your cheques? Who do you ask for credit when things are tight? Who do you ask to take ads for your organizations, yearbooks and programs? Who do you ask for contributions for your church suppers, raffles, etc.? Who do you ask to put up your posters for special events? It's your local, hometown small businessman. After all, he's your friend, your neighbor. But when you want to make a purchase, how often do you drive past his place of business and go to a giant store thinking you might save a few cents, without giving your local merchant a chance or (Sven can1paring his prices? We are competitive with the biggest store price -wise and our services are often better. But we can't SUrVICe much longer. When we go. you'll miss us. 1'OO MANY TO NAME Dear Too Many: Your letter reflects one of the major social and economic problems of our times. It's becoming more and more difficult , for the' small, independent businessman to sur- vive. 1 wish 1 knew the answer." As a child, I remember, we always had the feeling that the bussinessmen of our town were the next thing to millionaires. Just the name "businessman" seems to put the person in the sante class as E.P. Taylor or Harold Ballard. It wasn't until later, when 1 began to sleet small businessmen on equal terms and they took time to fill me in on their problems that 1 began to realize just how fragile an existence the small town businessman lives, We have, as the letter points out, a major problem in that the little businessman is becoming extinct. We've let the "bigger is better" phiiosphy rule our count• ry to such a point that it is nearly impossible for a small business to exist these days unless the owner is willing to work like heck to make sure the business gets bigger. The problem of allowing this philosophy to continue can be seen right now in British Columbia where many families have gone into a panic because they worry they may not be able to buy food. A Imadful of major food store chains have been shut down by a union of food store workers and millions of people can not now get food where they usually do. Ironically, the consumers turn in their panic to the small independent shop owner who will do his best to meet their needs, all the while listening to their complaints about poor selection and prices they think are too high and all the time knowing that as soon as the emergency is over. the customers will go back to the big stores and won't be seen again until the next big strike. He also knows that while he works at least 10 and more likely 12-15 hours a day to earn about 510,000 to 512,00 a year likely with no vacation, the checkout staff at the big supermarkets will, by the time the strike is over, likely be earning 516,000 for a 40 -hour week and a lengthy vacation. Ah, you say there goes that old appologist for the plain street businessmen. He's always de- fending the guys who are too lazy to run their businesses right and want three prices for everything. Not on your life. There are some businessmen, inducing some in our own town, who do not deserve to be in business. There arc some who are dishonest (though none that I know of here) just as there are dishonest people in other fields of work. There ire some who arc lazy, just as there are lazyy people in other areas of work. There are some who want to get the most reward (money) out of the least investment (in both effort and money), just like there arc in every other occupation. But as a whole, these are people who contribute more to their community than the average guy who works in a factory. They have an investment in the future of their community in both financial and emotional terms that most others don't. They pay not only taxes not only on their homes toward upkeep of the town, but also on their busin- ess('s,'I'hey are the reason for the existence of most towns. 'fake away those stores (11' offices and most communities wouldn't have any focal point. Yet we're in serious danger of losing that very central part of our smaller communities. The shop- ping public is extremely short sighted. For the sake of a few cents a week they will often drive several extra miles to (10 their shopping. It may look like a good bargain today but tomorrow when you have to drive those miles for every little thing you need because the small businesses have gone broke, the bargain won't seem so good. And tomorrow when a union shuts clown all the big grocery, and hardware and furniture stores in a bid to earn more big bucks, there won't be the small guy to turn to. This will give the unions even more bargaining power, and without the small shop to contend with, it will also give the big companies a chance to work more closely together to control prices, It sounds far fetched, you say, but more and more people. close to the small business scene can see it happening. We need concern and strong act ion on the part of our communities to help tight this trend. We need people to work with their merchants to It's a long way to work A couple of local men have been getting to work the long way these days. Ken Johnston and Harold Gross of Blyth Icft for work last week and still haven't gotten home. The pair, employees of Sparling's Propane Company left fast week for Lubbouck, Texas to. pick up a tanker truck for the Blyth firtn. They're expected back following their long trip some time late this week. 1 SNELL'S GROCERY 523-9332 rao SflL! KRAFT 1 WESTON'S PEANUT BUTTER' BREAD l I CHALLENGER ICOHOESALMON; 3 LB.
