Huron farmers want end
to damaging strikes
infood industry
Members of the Huron County Federa-
tion of Agriculture want government action
to end or restrict the right to strike and to
lockout in Canada,
The members passed a resolution calling
for the ban at the regular monthly meeting
of the Federation held in Belgrave on
October 2. Merle Gunby of Dungannon
moved the resolution calling for replacing
the right to strike or lockout with a fair
system of labour courts. Mr. Gunby said
that a quick reading of the resolution might
lead people to think it was anti -labour, but
he pointed out the clause banning lockouts.
"There must he a more civilized way to
settle problems," he said, Canada, he
pointed out had the second worst record of
workstoppagcs due to strikes in the world.
"This is not necessarily the final answer,"
he said,, "but certainly someone has to do
something to bring the problem into the
open."
Peter Hannam, member of the executive
of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture
who . was guest speaker at the meeting,
pointed out that food items are an essential
product and that they just can't be allowed
to be affected by strikes.
Adrian Keet of Wingham argued that
from his experience in labour unions
banning strikes was not the answer, The
answer, he said lay in profit sharing plans,
Then, he said, companies would be forced
to open the books to allow their employees
tso know just how much profit there was,
Maurice Bean of Auburn argued that under.
law, all public companies already must
open their books.
Jake Van Wonderen said farmers are
going to have to "get out and do it
ourselves." He criticized George Meany of
the A.F.L.-C.I.O. in the U.S. who is on one
hand, he said, drove up farm costs by
getting big pay increases for workers who
manufacture farm needs, and on the other
hand refuses to load farmers grain on boats
to Russia because it might mean an
increase in the price of grain in the U.S.
Beverly Brown of Wingham commented
that strikes arc so long now because
workers arc making so much money they
can afford to go without pay for a while. In
the old days when pay was lower, she said,
they couldn't afford to strike for very long.
As for profit sharing, she said, she thought
many workers wouldn't like it -too well
because they'd find out there wasn't much
profit to share.
The resolution passed and will go to
O.F.A.
The dead stock issue also came up again.
It was noted that the O.F.A. directors
meeting in Toronto had revealed that the
free pickup in this area- was not common
across the province. The report of the '
committee selected to look into dead stock
problems in the county was tabled. The
report called for an investigation into all
aspects of dead stock removal and for the
establishing of a local rendering plant to
rendering all dead stock meat for fertilizer. -.
Elections were held for directors for the
three north Huron regions to the O.F.A.
and for delegates to the O.F.A. annual
convention. In the Northwest region, Vince
Austin, Dungannon was elected director
with Mason Bailey, Blyth,` Ralph Foster,
Ashfield, and Doug Cameron, Ashfield,
the delegates. !ick Stafford of Wroxeter is
the director for north east Huron with
Martin Baah, Walton, Jim Williamson,
Walton and Doug Fortune, Wingham, the
delegates, Maurice Bean of Auburn is the
east central regional director with
delegates being John Benjamins, Blyth
and Gordon Blanchard of Seaforth.
U :C.O. branch ,at Belgrave opens mayoraddition on Thursday
Belgrave's largest business and a major
farm supplier for the north -central Huron
farm market will complete the first phase
of a three-phase expansion on Thursday
with a grand opening,
The United Co-operatives of Ontario
Belgrave branch will open its new retail
facility, the culmination of one portion of a
Tong -term expansion program. The expan-
sion was necessitated by a phenominal
growth pattern in the past five years, In
1970 when Belgrave Co-operative amalga-
Maitland Authority
one vote shy
for expansion
Authority resource manager Ian
Deslauriers said Thursday the authority is
nearing the two-thirds level of support
from municipalities in the new area to
permit expansion plans to be realized,
Eight municipalities in the new
400 -square -mile area, which includes
portions of northern Huron County and
southern Bruce County, have responded to
the authority's proposal, he said. Of those,
six have voted support for the plan.
The authority, Mr. Deslauriers noted,
requires' a two-thirds vote from municipali-
ties in the new area before it can proceed.
Still to reply are KincardineTownship
and Lucknow, If either votes approval, the
expansion can proceed.
Mr. Deslauriers said he will present the
authority's case to councils in both
municipalities in the next two weeks,
The proposed expansion will increase
the authority's cdse to councils in both
municipalities in the next two weeks,
ted wit}
ma i the United Co-operatives of
-Ontario the branch did $400,000 worth of
• business, By last year the annual sales
wore up to $L4 million and just recently,
with some time still left in the fiscal year,
'the $2 million mark was passed for
1974-75,
All this was accomplished in the old
cramped quarters and .necessitated action
to build a new plant for the Co-op, Last fall
plans began on. the new three stage
expansion.
The new store will provide 3000 square
feet of space compared to the present
postage -stamp sized retail section of the
business,
The new store was built without
disrupting the hectic activity of the old one
because it was constructed behind the
present building. Once it is in operation,
the old store will be demolished. Next
summer in phase two another 5000 square
feet will be added to accommodate
badly -needed warehouse space. After that
the old warehouse will be torn down. The
final phase will see a new mill built to
-replace the old one and the branch will
have an all new set up.
The Belgrave operation is one of the
oldest in Ontario. It was founded in 1914
(most branches were founded after the
Second War).
The present manager Murray Lougheed
who has overseen the tremendous growth
of the operation in the past five years says
the original place was back by the Belgrave
Creek where fertilizer was nixed in a
cement mixer, It's quite a change from the
modern fertilizer blending plant added to
the operation in 1972,
Mr, Lougheed credits the tremendous
growth to the fact that the area the
Belgrave plant serves being one populated
by young, progressive farmers. It's these
farmers that are making agriculture such a
growing industry in the western part of the
province he says,
But to meet the needs of these agressive
farm operators agribusinesses must
expand, he says, and that's why UCO
Belgrave is undergoing the present
expansion program.
It's hard to predict how long the growth
at Belgrave can go on but it seems far from
levelling off and the opening of the new
plant seems certain to send the growth
figures even higher in 1975.76,
Spacious surroundings
The new retail store at the U.C.O. branch at Belgrave provides a spacious and bright place
for shoppers, Tho big new store opens Thursday afternoon, It's part of a three-phase
expansion for the branch.. -staff photo.

dost sharingneeded
. s :' The study on recreation in Huron county that was presented earlier
;this month at County Council graphically illustrates what some people
have been saying for some time: that there needs to be a drastic
alteration in cost-sharing in recreation.
The study shows that the people of urban municipalities have been
shouldering by far the heaviest load in providing recreation facilities
and programs, The most outstanding example of free -loading is in
"southern Huron where Stanley township spent only 21 cents per capita
on recreation while nearby Zurich residents were spending a whopping
$54,25 per person.
By comparison, things have been much better in our area, The Blyth
recreation committee has been one of the better examples of
co-operation between municipalities in the field of recreation. Hullett,
East Wawanosh and Morris townships have helped offset some of the
,cost of recreation in Blyth. Yet the figures show that recreation in Blyth
cost every resident $24,66 in 1974, compared to $2.89 in Hullett, $1.40
in Morris and $3.98 in bast Wawanosh.
Rural municipalities argued for years that people services should be
paid for on the basis of population, not assessment, Here is a prime
example that people aren't equally -sharing the burden of a people
service. Moreover, the people of the urban centres, particuarly the
villages, tend to be holder in average age and thus use the recreation
facilities to a 'much lesser degree than the younger families in the
nearby countryside, This inequity then hits hardest at those who can
least bear it. How would you feel if you were a senior citizen who had to
pay $24.66 a year for a service you hardly used while a country family
with children using the facilities heavily, paid only a couple of dollars
per person? You would, we think, be rather upset.
Let's pull together
New Democratic Party leader Ed Broadbent deserves the pin -head of
the year award for his actions following the speech -by Prime Minister
Trudeau on inflation on Monday night.
Mr. Trudeau had hardly said goodnight after delivery his stern plea
for cp-operation from all Canadians than Mr. Broadbent began to chip
away at the wall of national solidarity Mr. Trudeau tried to erect.
Mr. Trudeau called for restraint and responsibility on the part of all
Canadians. Mr. Broadbent immediately labelled the regulations as
unfair 'saying the rich would get rich and the poor poorer. As Robert
Stanfield pointed out later in the same broadcast there are certain to be
inequities in any such plan, but we haven't much choice but take such
stern action. There are certainly inequities in the present situation
where the big businesses and the big unions keep increasing their
share of the economic pie and the small businessman, non -unionized
worker and pensioner gets pinched and harder.
Mr. Stanfield, in his comments, equitted himself with honour, Mr.
Broadbent played cheap political tricks, knowing that his opposition to
the plan would consolidate his support from organized labour. His
remakr that wage increases do not contribute to inflation shows him to
be either a moron or a cheap political huckster trying to win votes at a
time when we need instead strong leaders.
At long last Mr. Trudeau has shown us some strong leadership.
Perhaps we don't agree with every point he made, but we've got to pull
together or we're going to dig an even deeper grave for ourselves.
Complying with the Prime Minister's speech isn't doing him any great
favour (even if he's thrown out of office at the next election he's not
going to suffer from the effects of even worse inflation), nor are we
doingfavours for the other members of the government. We're doing
favours for ourselves. Surely Canadians are intelligent enough to see
that in their own long-term good they must 'curb this short-term
insanity.
Pea brains like Mr. ,Broadbent, however, aren't helping Canadians
reach that conclusion.
Don't hurt the innocent
Probably few politicians in Canada right now have as much respect
and support as Postmaster General Bryce Mackasey,
Mr; Mackasey has been in a nose, to nose battle with leaders of the
inside postal workers for several months and his refusal to give in to
their blackmail has won him the general support of the Canadian
people.
When the workers insist they must have a 71 per cent wage increase
and refuse to budge and Mr. Mackasey says they can be prepared for a
long strike most Canadians are on his side. The unfortunate fact of life
is that while this stance is in the long-term interest of a properly
functioning post office, it will in the short term hurt a lot of innocent
people. A two or three month strike, might break the resistence of the
union leaders and ultimately make the union work for, rather than
against the post office, but it may also break a lot of little people.
Hardest hil will be the small companies who depend on the mails
(including this one). Companies for instance that depend on mail
orders for Christmas business, might go brankrupt if they can neither
receive or send out their orders. Newspapers and magazines cannot
continue to circulate properly when‘ mail service is withdrawn leading
to huge losses in business and probably layoffs of staff of the
companies involved.
Pensioners who depend on mail to get their cheques are left in a
vulnerable position.
Yes, Mr. Mackasey, we support your determination to do what is
necessary to put the post office back in order, but don't hurt too many
other people at the same time. The post office must be kept in
operation even if it means using the army to sort the mail. We cannot
afford a prolonged loss of postal service. The cost to innocent people is
too high.

Huron County Recreation study
shows vast differences between
urban and rural recreation costs
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
There were 10 conclusions drawn by
members of Clusters 6 and 7, an
association of municipal recreation com-
mittees from municipalities within the
county of Huron, following their intensive
study into recreation in Huron, and three
recommendations involving Huron County
Council,
The report was presented to members of
county council when they met in Goderich,
Friday, October 3,
Jim McKinlay, recreation director for
the Town of Exeter, acted as spokesmen
for the association, and told council the
study uncovered an apparent lack of
co-operation and co-ordination in providing
facilities and services for recreation within
the county.
"There was a cry, a demand for more of
this," McKinlay told -council. "There are
few examples of co-ordinated efforts
around the construction and maintenance
of recreation facilities, or around the
development and maintenance of recrea-
tion programs, and there was very little
sign of any mutually agreeable cost-shar-
ing between neighbouring municipalities
in order to sustain these recreational
opportunities."
The report laid out the conclusions for
the study:
"Historically, Huron County Council has
played only a minimal supportive role in
the development of recreation in the
county. There are a numberofexamples of
capital cost sharing in the construction of
recreation facilities among neighboring
municipalities within the county. However,
there are also examples•where this has not
occurred.
"With regard to tax dollars allocated for
the maintenance and operation of
recreation facilities and program, in nearly
all cases the cost has been born solely by
the municipality in which the facility or
program is located, As a result, there is a
trend toward establishing surcharges for
non-resident participants.
"Recreation participating opportunity is
required by both rural and urban residents
of the county including all ages and both
sexes. All levels of government within the
county have an obligation to share in
providing recreation service.
"'There is general agreement on the
need for co-operation and sharing between
neighboring municipalities regarding dee'-
sion making, financing and planning within
the county, but there is confusion as to how
this can be effectively resolved and
implemented.
"There does not appear to be a great
deal of long-range planning in the total
spectrum of creation by municipal councils.
There docs not seem to be a clear and
common understanding of what constitutes
planning for recreation.
"The facility standards as laid out by the
Province of Ontario are not applicable to a
rural county such as Huron due to
geography and population density."
By way of recommendations, the report
asks that Huron County Council become
involved in the assessment, planning.
development and support of recreation in
the county. It was suggested that a policy
'be developed which would outline the
county council's role in recreation, This
policy, it was further suggested, would be
formulated after consultation by county
council representatives with the Municipal
Recreation Committee,
The report further recommended that
neighbouring municipalities by encourag-
ed to develop methods of co-operation in
the delivery of recreation services and
education in changing trends in the
philosophy of leisure. Huron County
Council was asked to establish an
unconditional grant system to municipali-
ties that establish an area recreation
structure, and rural and urban municipali-
ties that are presently sharing program and
facilties would be urged to develop joint
committee to expedite co-operation in the
delivery of recreation services.
Finally, the report recommended that an
equitable and fair system for cost sharing
and decisibn making among municipalities
that are sharing programs and facilities, be
developed Using an appropriate formula
system or systems. 1t was requests that
Huron County develop a recommended list
of guidelines and criteria to be used in the
development of this system. it was
suggested that to develop these guidelines
and criteria, the county must relay heavily
on the lay and professional resources that
already exist in the county and the
provincial Ministry of Culture and
Recreation,
The 42 -page report, the impetus for
which originated from a resolution pass, .:
by the Town of Clinton and forwarded to
Huron County Council in January 1974,
was the result of the collection of much
data, including an attitude inventory. in
all, 1S0 questionnaires were distributed to
elected officials and municipal •recreation
people. Mr. McKinlay said that 69
questionnaires were completed and return-
ed. He called that a "grand response".
The study revealed that recreation costs
per capita in the various municipalities
vary all the way from a high of $54.25 per
capita in the village of Zurich to 21 cents
for head in Stanley Township.
The towns payan average of $25.66 per
capita; the villages, $27.52; and the
townships, $2.74.
Total cost of recreation across the county
was $665,434,03. With a population here of
53,493, that means that the cost per capita
in the county for recreation was $12.43.
Another interesting set of figures in the
report showed that 0153,493 persons in the
county, 15,558 are under 15 years of age;
14,646 arc between 16 and 35 years of age;
13,319 are between 36 and 60; 8,819 are
over 61; and the age of 1,151 persons in
Huron County is unknown.
COUNCIL REACTION
Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township
said that while costs do look put of
proportion, arenas in small communities
like Belgrave and Bclmore operates "100
percent gratis" when local pcoplc give
time and effort to the programs.
He reported a recent community supper
for 1,000 people the proceeds of which will
"run our programs." Reeve Elston said,
"but I'm wondering if we can afford it."
Reeve Gerry Ginn of Goderich Township
said his first impression of the report was
that it was "just another way of getting
dollars out of the rural municipalities,"
"But now I've come to believe there are
some very worthwhile recommendations in
the report," Reeve Ginn went on, He said
now that most municipalities have their
own recreation committees, it is a natural'
stepping stone to the kind of proposals
contained in the report.
Reeve Ginn said there is a need for an
overall planning board for recreation in
Huron County to ensure that some facilities
are located in the town and some in the
rural municipalities, and to ensure that all
possible recreational facilities throughout
the county are being utilized,
Reeve Ginn further recommended that
the restructuring committee of county
council, previously charged with the
responsibility of studying the co-ordination
of such services as recreation, police and
fire protection and garbage disposal, study
the report with an eye to forming District
Recreation Boards and a County Recrea-
tion Advisory Board,
Jack McCutcheon, Reeve of Brussels,
said that recreation makes for a better
community. He echoed Reeve Ginn's
sentiments that overall co-ordination in the ,
county is necessary because municipali-
ties, by themselves, are just too small to
support facilities once they are established.
"We should look to establish facilities
where they will benefit the most people,"
Reeve McCutcheon stated.
Hullett Reeve John Jewitt said he was
opposed to financing -recreation by taxing
property. "And I'm afraid that's what this
report will lead us to," said Reeve Jewitt.
"How much should come from the
taxpayers' pockets and how much should
be paid by the users?" asked Jim Mair,
Morris Township Deputy -reeve,
• Reeve Warren Zinn of Ashfield
Township,urged township officials councils
to study the report and look at the facts and
figures.
- "It should be a great help," said Reeve
Zinn.

From the Minister's Study
Tough being atheist
BY REV, ED BAKER
WALTON UNITED CHURCH
It's tough to be an atheist at Thanksgiving tine to whom will the
atheist be thankful?
Some believe there's a Great Creator who made the earth, and some
will go so far as to allow that this force gives ongoing direction to the
physical universe. But they don't believe that it is possible to contact
this spirit.
It's tough for a self-made man to be thankful, The only one he's
thankful to is himself, Glad that he has the skill to run things, the
ability to handle men enabling him to get them to do his bidding. Some
are even selfless enough to admit that perhaps their getting ahead in
the world had a little a little bit of luck in it - being at the right place at
the right time,
To be thankful one must have a high regard for others. You must
respect a man if you 'are willing to be thankful toward him.
In seminary years ago we were told in one class that unless a many
•says, "Hallowed be thy name" he will not have deep regard for his
fellow man. Several of us arged the point, saying that the two ideas
were not related. The years of my life from then to now lead me to feel
that they are, indeed, related, Many who don't respect God don't have
' much respect for man, either,
Thanksgiving is given to someone we respect outside ourselves.
Is it enough. to sit back in comfortable affluence, having almost every
need satisfied, and a lot of luxuries as well, and mouth words of
thankfulness?
Thanksgivingsurely involves more than just giving words of thanks.
In a hungrey, unclothed, sick, overpopulated world, surely words of
thanks which fall short of sharing our abundance with the needy are
blasphemous, Unless we put our money on our mouth, aren't we really
hypocrites?
Much is made of obscenity and violence on TV. Surely the man who
sees his brother in need and blocks off the channel of compassion is the
truly violent man, Surely the really obscene thing is that, rather than
the beauty of the human form undraped.
If we refuse to share our abundance, whether it be abundant
material goods, or a,full and joyous heart which is alive with God's
good news, would it not be better if we remain silent at Thanksgiving
time,

been a minister since he was
ordained after graduation from
St, Andrew's College, the Univer-
sity of Saskatchewan in 1953, he
hasn't been in a parish for four
years.
He replaces Rev. Dcrwyn
Docken who with his family
moved to Dorchester to the
United Church charge. The new
minister is divorced and his two
children live with their mother in
London. He wanted to minister to
a congregation within driving .
distance of that city so that he can
see his children regularly.
After he graduated, Mr. Baker
served for 10 years as a
missionary in Korea, just after •
the war ended, from 1953-63. He
saw farmers there having to make
a living on two and a half acres of
land or starve. He says what he
saw in Korea convinced him that
Canadians have to learn to share
• resources with the rest of the
world, We shouldn't take the
standard of living that we enjoy
here for granted. He went to
Korea as a missionary because he
felt a responsibility to get
involved,
Mr, Baker knows something
about farming because he lived
on a Middlesex farm until he was
17. Then his family moved to
Saskatchewan and his father
farmed out there. His father went
West because the climate was
better for his asthma and
bronchitis. He started out as a
share cropper and now has 2100
acres there.
Mr. Baker has been very active
in the London chapter of an
organization for widowed and
divorced people called Parents

BY BILL SMILEY
Something came up on my
Saskatchewan holiday this sum-
mer past that rather intrigued
mc, and I thought it might strike a
chord, responsive or otherwise, in
the breast, or breasts, of my best
friends, the readers of this
column.
1 had thrown a small and
unsclect party on the last night of
the convention. At least it began
small. It grew steadily larger
because it was unselect: every-
body who•passed the open door of
my room was hollered at to
cummon in.
Fortunately, most of the people
who were passing were weekly
newspaper people with their
wives, girlfriends, or grand-
mothers. With regard to the
ladies, I must confess, said he
gallantly, that you couldn't tell
the girls from the grandmothers.
Perhaps that is because it's
Women's International Year, but
1 doubt it. I have noticed in the
last few years that girls are
becoming ' more like grand-
mothers: the glasses, • the long
skirts, the humped shoulders;
and, for good or worse, grannies
are becoming more like girls:
smoking cigarettes, drinking rye
whiskey, and elevating their
bosoms, with the aid of goodness -
only -know -what miracles of elast-
ic, to positively perilous positions.
Well, back to the party. Federal
and provincial politics, women's
lib, starving editors, rotten kids,
and overpaid workers, were dealt
with fairly smartly and expedit-
iously. They were all bad, we
agreed, except for the starving
editors, the last bulwark in the
fight for freedom, law and order,
the old virtues, and a return to the
"good years" of the Depression.
This was standard for a party,
and I was pleased that everything
was so cool. But, as every host or

Should weeklies report
hostess of every party, every-
where, and every time, knows,
most people sensibly go home to
bed, and mine host is stuck with
the Rag -Tag and Bob Tail of the
party, who still have a few bones
stuck in their craws and want to
wash them away with some fairly
strong solvent.
It happened, 1 won't mention
names, because they are two fine
western editors, good to their
children, kind to their wives,
pillars of their communities, and 1
don't want them run out of town
on some torn -up rails of a defunct
line of the C.P.R., not tarred and
feathered, but smedred from
head to foot with printers' ink and
copies of their old editorials.
I'll just call them Rag -Tag and
Bob -Tail, Rag -Tag finally ran out
of arguments and steam about 4
a.m., but Bob -Tail kept me up
until 6:47 a.m., the bus leaving at
8;30 for the fishing trip, me
going, him not, and I hope, if he
reads this, he is dying slowly and
painfully from an incurable
disease.
This is what they got hacking
about, with me as the judge;
should or should not a weekly
editor run in his columns court
news?
And that is why I thought your
readers might have an opinion.
Rat -Tag said: "Absolutely. It is
our duty, No one can be spared.
We owe it to our readers, If 1
myself were convicted of impair-
ed driving, I would run it in the
paper."
Bob -Tail spoke thus: "Blank-
beepl Who do you think you are --
God? The guy or the gal has
already been judged and sen-
tenced by the law. He or she has
been punished. All you are doing
by printing it in the paper is
doubling the sentence, exposing
him or her to the scorn and
contempt of friends and neigh-
bors and salivating sensation -
seekers who swoop like vultures
on the garbage that is other
peoples' troubles."
As you can see, Bob -Tail was a
little more poetic. But Rag -Tail
was not to be downed so easily.
He fought back,
"O.K., smart -ass. What would
you do if there was a murder in
your town?" You'll note that he
had by now dropped the
subjunctive.
THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 15, 1975, PG. 13.
on court cases
Bob -Tail: "I'd ignore it. I'd say
in the paper that So -and -So had
passed away on Such -and -Such. If
the Calgary papers wanted to
come in and make a big murder
thing of it, let'em, You know what
I'd do? I'd go and see the widow
(or widower) and talk to her (or
him) as a friend."'
I won't bore you with any more.
The argument went on for two
hours, with the judge (me),
looking at a non-existent watch,
brightly mentioning that the
fishing trip was starting in two
hours, and even calling room
service to see what time it was,
So what would you do, gentle
reader, if you were a weekly
editor? Would you run the court
-news, and break some poor
mother's heart? Or do you think
that the public has a right to know
that the major got drunk and beat
up his wife?
When 1 was a weekly editor, 1
had to cope with this. I decided,
with the full concurrence of my
partner, that there was no
particular point in running court
news. Too many people were
being doubly punished, and why?
Merely for the delectation of the
righteous.
Strangely enough, or not, the
people who howl and plead the
most, when it is their family about
to be exposed in public print, •tore
the most righteous. The lips
righteous are almost proud Mat
nephew Elmer "got his name in
the paper."
Three days later, on our fishing
trip, 1 reintroduced the subject,
and saw two weekly newspaper-
men this time from Ontario,
practically come to blows over the
issue.
Daily papers treat the subject
with the utmost cynicism. They
have a court reporter. He or she
reports only those cases before
the judge which will make a
"good story": the salacious, the
sensational, the bizarre -- only
those that will make the reader
chuckle or slaver.
What do you think? Perhaps
your editor would be interested in
your opinion. Does he or she run
court news? Docs it serve any
purpose? You judge.
Write him, or her. Write me,
care of him or her. I would really
like to know how ordinary, decent
human beings feel about this.
If you are employed and going
to have a baby. you're
entitled to pregnancy leave.
This is what Ontario is doing
to make certain you receive it.
We have a law in Ontario hick p: mits any
pregnant woman, married • • , to take a 1
17 -week unpaid leave of absence to have
her baby. This law covers part-time as well
as full-time employees, provided that they
have been working for the same employer
for at least 63 weeks before the expected
date of birth.
When she returns to work, the new
mother is guaranteed the right to her former
position or to a comparable position with
no Toss of seniority or benefits.
Naturally, pregnancy does not prevent an
employee from being dismissed for valid

pregna y alone cannot be the cause of
dismis-al where an employee is eligible for

expectant mother is required to give
t • weeks' notice in writing of the day she
i tends to leave. She is entitled to begin her
eave any time within 11 weeks before the
baby's birth but the must take at least six
weeks of her leave afterwards. If the em-
ployer wishes the employee to begin her
leave before she wants to do so, the em-
ployer must prove that she is unable to
perform her normal duties adequately.
The employee is eligible for Unemploy-
ment Insurance benefits during her preg-
nancy leave (even if she does not intend to
resume work when her leave expires) if she
had at least 20 weeks of ensured employ--
ment during the year before the birth. At
least ten of the 20 weeks should have fallen
between the 30th and the 50th weeks before
the birth.

Hunting safety
Several years ago, the Ministry
of Lands and Forests, now known
as the Ministry of Natural
Resources, laid the foundation for
a sound method of creating a safe
environment in which hunters can
enjoy their sport, by initiating the
Hunter Safety Training Program.
Responsible for conducting the
program, Ontario's rod and gun
clubs arc to be congratulated on
the thoroughness with which they
carried it out. Hunting -accidents

PG, 16. THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 15, 1975.
Women's Institutes hold
BY MRS. L. STONEHOUSE
Bright sunshine and friendly
greetings were the order of the
day last Monday when more than
140 Women's Institute members
from Huron County gathered at
the Belgrave Women's Institute
Hall for the 24th Huron Counts'
Rally.
Mrs, Ivan Wightman president
of the Huron West District,
presided at the meeting with Mrs.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: A friend
of mine was widowed recently.
Her husband -owned a rare -coin
collection of considerable .value.
Mrs. S. has decided to give the
coin collection to the church -- one
piece at a time, She simply drops
one of these rare treasures into
the collection plate when it is
passed, as if it were a 50 -cent
piece or a silver dollar.
Someone is having a ball with
these coins -- either the church
treasurer or the clerk at the bank.
Although 1 have tried to get this
notion over to Mrs. S. she just
doesn't seem to grasp it. In her
opinion, the church should profit
from her husband's collection and
this is the way she has decided it
should be done.
I'd appreciate an Ann Landers
approach to wising up the
dummy. --Exasperated In Cherry
Hills
DEAR EX. Bypass the woman.
She sounds hopeless. Go to the
clergyman and suggest that he
explain to Mrs. S. that her
husband's coin collection would
be of immensely greater value to
the church if she presented it all
at once so they could sell it to a
collector. She could then ignore
James Armstrong of Brussels as
the secretary -treasurer. The
president of the Huron East
District, Mrs. Malchom Allan of
Wroxeter, brought greetings
grom her groups as did Mrs.
Roylance Westcott, president of
the Huron South District.
The secretaries for each of the
districts reported on activities in
their areas and delegates and
rally in Belgrave
visitors from the different dis-
tricts were presented, Mrs. M.
Batkin of Clinton presented a
report from the Huron County
Historical Society and thanked
the Women's Institute for spon-
soring society meetings. She also
urged all members to read the
books put out by the historical
society each year.
Mrs. Gordon Popple brought
There's trouble
in Cherry Hills
the plate altogether or put a dollar
bill in it -- which would make a
great deal more sense.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: it all
started last summer when 1 tried
to do my next-door neighbor a
favor by telling her their TV
antenna was loose. I was told to
mind my own business. "Our
loose antenna is not bothering
you," is the.way she put it, "but
the junk in your yard is a disgrace
to the entire neighborhood."
Ann, our yard is neat. 1 don't
know what that crazy woman was
talking about.
Recently we had to have a new
roof put on. Of course this' meant
sonic noisy hammering and
roofing equipment lying around
for a few days. Well, those
neighbors were over here pound-
ing on our door, phoning us every
hour and yelling out their
windows from the minutes the
work started till it ended.
1 hate not getting along with
neighbors but these people arc
impossible. My husband says I
should go over and tell off Mrs.
Nut, or pay somebody $10 to
throw a pie in her face. He thinks
I'd feel better. What is your
opinion? •- Strait Jacket Here I
Come
DEAR JACKET: It is not
essential that you get along with
Mr. and Mrs. Nut. Let their
antenna fall off, their house
collapse. And forget the pie job.
It's against the law.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: I read
with interest the letter from the
mother who wa's miserable
because her husband "rose above
the children's fights and argu-
ments." He ignored all the
squabbles which forced her to
handle everything. Of course the
kids viewed her as the heavy and
their father looked like a saint.
Advise that woman to insert car
plugs and let the kids go at it.
After The Saint gets hit a few
times with flying objects he'll go
into action. Our family life
changed• the day I caught a shoe
in the head and a beachball broke
my glasses.
I lost my cool and knocked all
their heads together. The kids
were stunned -• but they shaped
up. I assure you, they'll relate the
details of that eventful day to
their grandchildren.
Now it's so quiet around our
house you can hear a fly walk.
The kids are very polite to each
other and they are especially nice
to my wife and me. •- All's Quiet
On The Western Front.
DEAR QUIET: Discipline should
be the dual responsibility of both
parents. Your formula sounds a
bit radical but who ani 1 to argue
with success?
