PRICE: 20 CENTS Permit given for pottery A building permit was issued Monday night at Blyth council's November meeting for an interesting new addition to the Blyth Commercial district. The permit to Michael Ward was for erection of a 40 by 16 foot cement block building on the west side of Queen Street near Westmoreland. Mr. Ward recently purchased the house on the property (a ,'me location of The Standard office). He intends to establish a pottery workshop and sales outlet in the new building. Also passed at the meeting was a building permit to a storage shed for Klass DeJong. Turned down was an application by Harvey Snell to expand his store toward Drummond Street because it would have been partially on the street allowance, Councillors indicated that while they were sympathetic to helping businesses expand, they felt this set a band precidcnt. The meeting, the shortest in years, ended slightly an hour after it began. It saw little controversy except when the issue of the swimming pool by-law came up for review again. The by-law was deferred until November. when it was originally discussed last spring. It calls for all swimming pools to he fenced in with a fence of not less than 60 inches in height. The matter caused a split vote that made Reeve Robbie Lawrie cast the deciding vote. Councillor Fred Carson said that he felt unfenced swimming pools were a danger to young children and council should pass the bylaw. He was supported by Councillor Con Van Vliet, Councillors Helen Gowing and Bill Howson argued that there are no major problems right now. There are only two swimming pools in the village and one is already fenced while the other is in an area where there are no young children nearby. Reeve Lawrie finally broke the tie voting against the by-law but with the provision the by-law is to be reviewed again in the spring, • , Council as usual was a little unhappy when it received the engineering bill for the storm sewer and the drain on the Wellington Street extension. The combin- ed bill for the two totalled $8116. Council said it felt that smaller proejcts such as those and Wellington street should be undertaken without an engineer in the future, even though it will mean a loss of provincial subsidy, Council also passed a bylaw providing for establishment of a school bus loading zone on King Street at the public school, Nutritionist milk better VOLUME 85 • NO. 45 j WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1975. Two local men last week were named to the executive of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture.

County Councillors told people trust them BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Huron County Council is both respon- sible and responsive. So says a study completed by Dr. C.T.M.Hadwen, a sociologist from the University of Guelph, and presented Friday, October 31 to county council, Entitled Local Government in Huron County, the study was carried out under a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovern- mental Affairs in co-operation with Huron County Council. It showed that reeves and deputy -reeve's are well-known, trusted, appreciated, honest and loyal, It indicated that while some changes are' needed, residents of Huron County don't want anything to change to basic life style found in Huron. "This attitude of respect and trust, of co-operation and concern, is sadly lacking in the case of many elected - and appointed - officials today," the report concluded. "The fact that it exists in Huron County is a factor to be taken into consideration when any changes are contemplated,” says powdered Those trying to cut corners to save on the soaring food bill would have been happy to hear Marni Davidson boost the value of powdered milk, as a Nutrition Week seminar held in Blyth Public School on on Monday night. Miss Davidson is a Nutrition Consultant with the Southwestern Region for the Ontario Ministry of Health, Health Promotion Branch. She told about 50 women present that powdered milk is actually better for you than whole milk, because whole milk contains many fats that are not required. She said, however, that some vitamins are lost with the fat that is taken out of the milk and therefore buyers should check to see that these are put back into the milk as stated on the label. Miss Davidson said that there is a real problem trying to get accurate information on what is nutrltional`and what is not. She blamed the media for helping to spread many falsehoods. The consumer, she said, is bombarded by so much information on nutritionist, much of it from people who claim to know what they are talking about but don't, that it is hard to know who to trust. Mrs. Phyllis Street of Blyth, one of four women taking part in a panel discussion on the subject, said that more nutritionists are needed at a local level. Miss Davidson agreed saying there should be a nutritionist on each county health unit. Gurpal Thind, head of the nursing section of the Huron County Health Unit said that the Huron Unit applied for government funding to hire such a person , but was turned down and later tried to convince county council of the need to go ahead without provincial support but again was unsuccessful, The data for the study was gleaned from minutes of council meetings both at the county and municipal level. As well, 57 reeves and deputy -reeves were inter- viewed in 1973 along with 75 municipal councillors. There were 450 Huron County voters interviewed of which 80 percent were from the rural areas and 60 percent from the urban districts of Huron. All field work for the study was carried out by a team of four Huron County residents whose work was carefully supervised and inspected. The results of all interviews were afterward coded, punched on computer cards and processed to yield the results presented to Huron County and perhaps, more importantly, to Queen's Park. The public described their elected officials as "well liked, community minded, competent, honest and reliable". They feel that elected people in Huron run for office "to serve the community". Only a small percentage of those interviewed though councillors value the prestige of their positions, or wish to exercise authority, People living in rural areas tended to stress the farming background of a person who wanted to serve as a municipal councillor. There were six main reasons given by respondents in the study thought to be the motives for elected officials running for office in Huron. They were (in order), a chance to improve local living conditions; a chance to support a specific cause; prestige; opportunity to enter political life; benefit to personal business; and salary. It was young people who tended to give weight to the benefit to personal business for municipal councillors; about half of them feel this is "very important" or "extremely important". Middle-aged or older people do not feel so strongly on this matter. All groups believed that the salary was not at all important in deciding municipal councillor to run for office. Those who had lived longer in the county were more emphatic about -this, Road maintenance and snow remove was considered to be the single mos. important function of local and count Continued on Page 3 Editorial Church 'Classified Entertainment Page 4 Page 7 Page 14 Page 15 Local men head Huron Federation Two area men were named Thur>.dav night to the executive •of the largest f t• I organization in Huron county. Adrian Vos of Blyth was named president of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. Elected second vice-presi- dent of the 2200 member organization was Maurice Bean of RR 1, Aubur'a. t Mr. Vos, who was first vice-president this past year,, defeated Vince Austin of Dungannon in an election for the top post, Mr. Bean, who lost out in a three way vote for first vice won a three way fight for the second vice-presidential position. Alan Walper of RR 3, Parkhill was named first vice-president. Elected directors at large were Wayne Millian, Beverley Brown and past president, Doug Fortune. Mr. Vos, and several of the other speakers at the meeting pointed to a growing crisis in the organization. He pointed to the fact that at the organizations year end on August 31 it had $400 in the bank but $2000 ,in debts, including per diem and mileage for county directors for the past year. The Huron Federation program, Mr. Vos said, has been one of the most extensive in the province. This, he said, probably accounted for the fact that Huron has the Highest O.F.A. membership in the province. However, he said, because of the decline of revenue particularly from township levies and grants, the Huron Federation is in danger of having to curtail its programs, Mr. Vos called on all members to go to their township councils to seek continua= tion or re -institution of the levy or gragi system, Doug Fortune, in his remarks as past president of the organization urge members to think about "what well lose i we lose this organization". He pointed t the fact that Individual Service Members Huron receive the Farm and Country an Rural Voice newspaper free of charge, tha the county has the highest number oa 1.S.M. directors in Ontario, that ti president of O.F.A. and many of thy. provincial oicallmdr provincial commodity board rnarri epresenta- tives such as for beans and for pork, come from Huron. He pointed out that the O.F.A. convention in Hamilton later this month will have some 20 delegates from the Huron Federation and several more from commodity groups. it's a disgrace, he said, that a top agricultural county in Ontario can't support its own farm' organization. another former president, -Mason Bailey of' Blyth. Mr. Bailey in saying that he watt withdrawing from active role in the Federation because he was no 'longer farming, said the O.F.A. can't stop where it is, that it must keep going. He asked thoaw present to do a favour for O.F.A. president Gordon Hill and others who had worked so hard to btl Id •the organization, andio try to recruit new members. He said the situation in Huron is serious;. that the income of the county federation is Calf of what it used to be when the dollar was worth twice what it is today. The organization, ,he said, catA.'t live without money. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 5, 1975.

'Pap. 3. Survey shows Huron people like present government set up Continued from Page 1 councils, according to the voters inter- viewed. The next most urgent issue, according to the people, was pollution. Other Important matters were thought to be general upkeep of the county, control of the budget and setting the tax rate and drainage and sewers. In general, the voters felt that the areas in which the municipal councils had been most effective were roads and snow removal, general upkeep and drainage, Respondents from the public believed that hearing reports presented and paying bills were important duties of councillors. There were followed by (in order) bylaws, tenders, purchases, committee reports, grants, severances, loans and debentures sold. Voters felt councils had been successful in staying in contact with the people, and said this was done through reports by the media and by personal contact. Only a minority mentioned open public meetings. Urban dwellers appeared to be more dependent on contact through the media. Rural dwellers tended to give personal contact as the most important method of communication. A majority of voters felt that the municipal council does have the, financial resources it needs to do its work, but a sizeable mine:;,) reit that it did not. Three-quarters of the respondents expressed themselves as "fairly satisfied" with the work of the council. Some were very satisfied and only a few were not very satisfied. More satisfaction was expressed by life-long residents of Huron County than by others. Almost unanimously, respondents were against a change to regional government. Restructuring committee holds series of public meetings BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Apart from a few who thought that a regional government might be more efficient, the great majority responded that there would be "no advantage" accruing from regional government. A wide range of disadvantages was mentioned, with the largest single group, about half the respondents, saying that they would lose contact with those directing their affairs. Others felt that regional government would be too expensive and that the residents would have no local power. Respondents felt that among the changes needed in Huron was the provision of more jobs. Rising costs in agriculture was seen as the major problem by rural and urban respondents, but very few felt the council could help with that problem, or any of the other agricultural problems mentioned. The average age of the voters interviewed was 51. The largest single occupational group for female respondents was homemakers. The major occupations of male respondents were farmer (15.3 percent); retired (14.4 percent);skilled trades (10.2 percent); unskilled labor (8.8 percent); professional and technical (5.1 percent); clerical (5.1 percent); managerial (4.2 percent); and unemployed (0.55 percent). The majority of respondents had always lived in Huron County. Nearly half of those questioned were members of the United Church of Canada. More than half the respondents were active in one organ- ization or another. Of the municipal councillors inter. viewed, 31 had served less that two years, 31 less than six years and 13 more than six years. Of the reeves and deputy -reeves interviewed, 24 had served less than two years on county council: 24•IPcs than c iv The Huron County restructuring com- mittee chaired by Warden Anson McKinley is planning a public information meeting for Clinton on Wednesday, November 19 at 8 pm. The purpose of the meeting is to exchange ideas on improving local government in Huron County. If the meeting is found to be worthwhile, similar meetings would also be planned for other areas of the county. The committee reported a visit to Essex County where there are 41 members of the council. Huron has 45 members of county council. It was reported that in the Essex system, all business is brought before the entire • council by a report from the department head, rather than first being delt with in committees, "They do of course have the staturatory committees, roads and homes for the aged, but these committee meet during alternate session of council rather then in between sessions," said Warden McKinley. "They do establish committee from time to time to deal with specific projects. Meetings of Essex County Council are held every third Wednesday of the month. Agendas, including all reports and recommendations are sent out to the members of the council one week in advance of the sessions. "They claim that under this system, council members are better informed," said Warden McKinley,"dealing with all matters in council, rather Than becoming knowledgable only of the work of a particular committee." A modified version of the system was recommended for trial in some Hv:on County committees for a period of time. This was approved by council after some discussion. During the debate of the road committee report earlier, in which a decision regarding road crew salaries was disputed by council, the value of committees was questioned. There was some discussion surrounding the need for committees where there is no authority to make decisions. While county councillors are reluctant to make changes to another system, the decision was reached to attempt the Essex method for some committees.. Under the system, agendas and a complete resume of matters to be discussed at committer;, will go out to members prior to the committee meeting. A subcommittee to review the 1975 Huron County Recreation Study has been named by the development com- mittee. It comprises Warren Zinn, Frank Cook, Warden Anson McKinley, Michael Dymond and Jim McKinley who will represent the recreation directors of the county, and Spence Cumming, Huron's development officer.

BORNHOLM years; and six more than nine years. THE TYPICAL REEVE The study provided a profile of the typical Huron County Reeve. He is a farmer who has lived all his life in Huron County. He is a man in the fifties, who lives in a rural area. He has been a member of county council for three of four years. Previous to becoming a county coun- cillor, he has served his community in an elected public office, and in community organizations. He is a member of the United Church of Canada. The typical reeve is a family man, and his family is a little larger than the average size in Ontario. His wife does not work outside the household (that is to say she does not work for pay). He is a reeve because he wants to improve local living conditions, and is willing to give the considerable time and effort this involves. There may be a specific area in which he wishes to work, on county, council. Being a reeve offers a chance to enter political life and there is a certain amount of prestige attached to the office, but a reeve is not really much concerned about that kind of thing. The typical reeve is certainly not on county council because of the token salary involved. The typical reeve feels that his interests have become broader since serving on county council. He has gained in self-confidence, insight and under- standing. He is forward looking and realizing the crucial importance of planning for the future. He believes in keeping in touch with his constituents, in being available to the peopleand in making full use of the media. He docs not desire a change to regional government and deplores that he has more desire to help the county than he has power to control events. He knows he has the support of the voters and enjoys their confidence as he carries out his duties. There's really not much difference between the typical reeve and the typical municipal councillor, although it is more likely the typical councillor lives in an urban arca of the county. The typical reeve is in touch with both town and rural municipal councils as well as with representatives of the provincial government. He is increasingly concerned with the broad and important question of planning for the arca, whereas municipal councillors tend to be more concerned with the maintenance of existing facilities such as road upkeep. In other words, the typical reeve tends more and more to be concerned with the future of Huron County, while the typical municipal councillor tends to be more concerned with the present. While both are respected as individuals and for the quality of their work, municipal councillors may be slightly closer to the public, while reeves seem slightly morc respected for their expertise. "The report gives a clear picture of how satisfied, how content people are with the municipal system," Dr. Hadwcn told council. About the only negative comment made by Dr. Hadwcn concerning Huron was the "optimism comes hard here". But he added that Ontario residents in general tended to be "worryers". Reeve Gerry Ginn of Goderich Township summed up the study for all of county council when he sald, "It couldn't have been a more flattering report if we'd written it ourselves, what's new? Babies are born every day, And newspapers report it —in full. They also report on who's getting married, local sports, the price of a pot roast, and more. In your community this is news. And newspapers print the news, with strong emphasis on local news. Local newspapers deliver, where other news sources leave off. People believe strongly In newspapers for several reasons: newspaper reading is a habit with most people; It's part of the habitual routine of daily life; and people regard their newspaper as a friend they can't do without. Over eight out of ten adults read a newspaper every day. For that reason no other news medium can match local newspapers for speedy, thorough saturation of your town. For all the news about your community, read your local newspaper. Newspapers deliver the local story. CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING THE COMMUNITY PRESS OF CANADA PG, 4. THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 5, 1975. EDITORIALS Don't mess with a good thing Huron county residents like their present system of government and trust the people running it, says the survey conducted by Professor Ted Hawden of the University of Guelph, That's not news for the people of the county. It may be news however, for Ontario Treasurer Darcy McKeough who is the man in charge of regional government plans for the province. The province, though it now denies it, has been trying through persuasion and coersion for some years to convince the county to abandon the old system and regionalize, No wonder, as the professor noted in the letter accompanying the report to county county, provincial officials wanted to keep the report under cover. It must have made thema little unhappy that the report they helped pay for came up with the results they didn't want. If the government has any sense at all, it will mean an end once and for all to attempts to "convince" Huron to adopt regional government. But as Professor Hawden points out, the report isn't a licence for local officials to sit back and • think our system is perfect. Minor improvements are still needed, We can do much to make our government better. • What the report is, is a vote for evolutionary rather than revolutionary reform in government. The falacy of the government's whole regional government program was that it threw the baby out with the bath water; that it threw out the good things of the old system in an attempt to get rid of the bad. What resulted was a replacement of the old problems with a whole new set or problems, and more expensive problems at that. What Canada has been based on has been slow, evolutionary changes to keep to a minimum expensive goofs. Regional government has been an expensive attempt to break with this tradition, an attempt that has failed. Winning some, and losing some never since the 1974 election has Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau been so admired and so hated at the same time. Trudeau's hardline Thanksgiving. Day speach on inflation controls won him loyal, if grudgin support from most people in the country and the unending hatred of the organized labour section. The reaction from the general public seems to be that the controls are bitter medicine, but medicine that must be taken. There is grumbling about having to make sacrifices and the loopholes that others might be able to find and about the act the Prime Minister will be able to get maximum increase of $2,400, but in general, the ordinary people are ready to go along. But the unions are something else again. They've declare all-out war on the controls and Trudeau. They keep complaining about how the poor working man is being unfairly treated, For a long time they concentrated their wrath on the $600 lower limit proposed by the government but when the government increased this limit the unions didn't relent. The ridiculous part of the union argument, of course is that the little people, the people who the union keeps pleading for are the ones who are supporting the program. They are the pensioners, the non -unionized employees of small firms and the self-employed small businessmen. These people realize they have only one hope: a hope not to make more money than the rate of inflation, but to keep the rate of inflation down and to keep the professional and unionized workers from pulling fatrher and farther ahead. The outrage of the unions rather than righteous indignation seems to be the same kind of outrage we heard from the robber baron businessmen of the turn of the century who railed against government controls on the kind of profits they were making at the expense of the working people. The employees and leaders of the larger unions are today's robber barons, They're a relatively small portion of the population (less than 10 per cent) yet they better their own lot by exerting their power over others. The coming showdown between government and unions is one .his country cannot afford to lose, If the government doesn't win, the country is on the way to becoming another Britain. Do you want that? Cheap shot journalism There are times when one feels little pride at being involved in journalism. One of those times can recently when the famous Kissinger gossip story broke out of Ottawa, The facts of the case are now well known. Dr. Henry Kissinger, U.S. Secretary of State was in Ottawa for talks with Canadian government officials. A dinner was held in his honour and a microphone hookup was made between the room where the dinner was being held and a nearby National Press building so that reporters could here the formalities of the meeting. Somehow the microphone wasn't turned off after the ceremonies and so the remakrs of Mr. Kissinger he was making in private to those he was seated with were carried to the reporters. Three reporters heard the stories Kissinger told of former President Richard Nixon and of Jackie Kennedy Onassis. One, to his credit, erased his tapes of the conversation and didn't file the story, The other two did, first through their connnections in the U.S. and later to their Canadian newspaper and radio bosses. The results were revealing and a little amusing to the ordinary person. They were, however, to Mr. Kissinger and the Canadian government, very embarassing, Media people will argue, in their indignation, that the people hav the right to know and therefore even accidental information can be used. But just how vital was this information , to public? If Mr, Kissinger had revealed a secret plan to bomb Cuba, one might understand the right of the public to know but the case under discussion hardly rates in 'that category. It was a cheap -shot journalism and something the profession should be totally ashamed of. BY KEITH ROULSTON One of the few times 1 indulge myself in watching television is in football season.

In short, I'm a Toronto Argonaut fan. Now they should have a medal (something like the Purple Heart in the U.S. armed forces), for people who are Argo fans. On second thought, maybe they should have a straight jacket. I've been a Argo fan since my earliest interest in the sport. The thing about being a Argo fan is that you either go completely rip-roaringmad, or you become a philosopher right up there with the best, like Aristotle (the original not the Onassis). We Argo fans went through it again last week. Our heros headed into the final game of the season knowing all they had to do was hold the other team to less than a 16 -point winning margin to win a playoff position. Hamilton, the opposition, hadn't beaten anybody by 16 points all year long. They'd hardly been able to put on their uniforms frontwards, they'd been that bad. It seemed impossible, even for a team with the Argo's history, to blow that one. Well you guessed it. 'Toronto lost the game by exactly 16 points. They couldn't even lose by ' a convincing score....just the exact margin needed. Or course we Argo fans knew deep down in our hearts that it was bound to happen. Being an Argo fan is like being a mouse living in a house with a dozen hungry cats: you just keep waiting for fate to get you. This was the team, after all, that lost two games earlier this year on the last play of the game. It was the team that very nearly blew the last two games in the last couple of minutes. History supports the suspicion that Toronto was destines to lose the game on Saturday. It was Toronto, after all in its heyday back in 1961, when 1 was just a tad, that went to Hamilton with a big 18 point lead in a total point series. The team was a strong one and it seemed impossible they wouldn't be going on to the Grey cup with such a lead, They lost the game 48.2. And of course there was 1971, the year the Argos finally made it to the Grey Cup. They had the ball on the oppsition's 10 -yard line with only a couple of plays remaining. All they needed was a field goal to win the game and they had one of the best kickers in the business. What happened? l'hey fumbled the ball on the second last play of the game, the opposition picked it up and they never did get the chance to kick. Such was the kind of thing that went on Saturday. TheArgo quarterback makes a fine play and is wrestled down on the one yard line of the Hamilton teani...but the ball pops lose and Hamilton recovers. Another time the Argos break loose for a touchdown, but it's called back for a penalty and they end up without a point.And on and ,on it goes, There's one cinisolation for the Argo fans...the, loss ended the season, that means an end to the torment for another few months. Being an Argo' fan is like hitting your head against the wall: it's so nice when you stop, KEITH & JILL ROULSTON, Co -Publishers Published every Wednesday at Queen St., Blyth,'Ont.

Mary Ellen also talked about the food guide for health and notes on the food guide. They then started the business. The roll call was answered by all the members.

Jane with the help of Debbie and County road budget should show surplus for 1975 BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER If there isn't an unusally heavy snowfall in Huron County during November and December, there should be a small surplus of funds by year's end in the Huron County road budget. County counciliors learned Friday, October 31 in regular session that a surplus would be partly due to some projects being completed under the estimates and also becuask; a wet fall prevented road crews from trimming up the ditches and side slopes on two county projects. This work will be completed in early 1976. But even this good news failed to get the necessary support of county council to pass the road report in total. The final clause in the report which would have authorized an 18.4 per cent salary increase for road crew was referred back to committee until other committees have dealt with their salary reouirements. Ralph McNichol, chairman of the road committee, said the suggestion of the 75 cent an hour increase for the road department workers (excluding the engineer whose salary will be negotiated separately) had been passed along to the crew. The discus- sions surrounding the salaries had taken place October 9, five days prior to the federal government's imposed salary guideline of 10 percent. Warden Anson McKinley advised council that wages for the road crew are normally set at this time of year, in order that estimates for the next year's budget may be presented to the Ontario Ministry of Tran- sporation and Communication. "May 1 remind you that if this was a union agreement, it would be binding," Warden McKinley said. Chairman McNichol added that the increases were considered by the committee as a "reasonable scale". He said the committee was interested in keeping the union out of the road department in Huron. Council was also reminded by County Clerk Bill Hanly that 1975 increases to someunion employees were "good". "You exercised no control or had no control," said Hanly. County engineer Jim Britnell reported that Huron's wage scale for road employees was the lowest of any county in Ontario Hullett Happenings At Hullett Central we have boys and girls house -league soccer teams. The girls have five teams named the Monkies, Tigers, Lions , Elephants, and Foxes. The boys of our school have four teams known as the Hawks, Eagles, Falcons and Owls, • The girls games began September 15 and the boys games September 17. The top teams at present are the Tigers and Foxes for the girls and the Falcons for the boys. CROSS COUNTRY On October 15, 42 puplis from Mullett Central School went to Bill Millson's farm for the annual cross country run. The bus left the school at 11:30 and the afternoon, was spent running through plowed fields and corn stubble. The school came in fifth and they had one first place runner in the senior division. Congrat- ulations are extended to the pupils who participated, particu- larly Mary Ann Hellinga, Pat Stackhouse, Randy Lammerant and Paul St, Louis, NEWSPAPER CLUB The newspaper club was formed at Hullett Central Public School the beginning of October.

GRADE FOUR'S TRW TO THE WEATHER STATION WEATHER STATION On Friday, October 17 the grade four class from Hullett Central went to the Goderich Airport for a field trip. The first place they visited was the weather station where they saw a teletype machine, rain gauge and barometer. The man looking after the equipment was Mr. Haylack. He also filled a weather ballon which the children released outside and watched until it went out of sight. The second stop was a tour of the Lancaster bomber with all its controls. Last, but not least, the children entered the building where privately -owned planes are painted. Here they viewed three different types of planes close•ip. They returned to school in time to catch the buses all reporting a • good time. except one, and that one is presently negot.ating at consid- erably more than Huron County road committee offered to its employees. Simon P. Hallahan, reeve of West Wawanosh, said much of the money for county salaries comes from agriculture. "I'm making a hell of a lot less that that (the offer to the road crew.)," said Hallahan, Reeve Allan Campbell of McKillop told council that the wage spiral has to stop some- where. He said that if the raises as recommended by the road committee- were approved, it would mean the municipal road crew workers would be looking for similar adjustments in salary. Thirty-six county road workers arc involved in the settlement. "This offer was made before October 13," reasoned Reeve Gerry Ginn of Goderich Town- ship," and l believe this council should live by it." Not many shared Reeve Ginn's viewpoint, and the report was referred back to the committee, in other business before county council, approval was given for the hiring of Wayne Lester as assistant administrator at Huron - view, effective December 1, 1975 for a probationary period of six months, at a salary of $15,000 per annum. J it VANASTRA CURLING CLUB Open Cur Kathie demonstrated hamburger stacks.

For instance, the violent rifle and shotgun slayings in highschools; elderly people criminally slain in the darkness of night; hampered communication by way of the mail, and the great number of people who've placed themselves above and beyond the legitimate laws of the land, particularly the anit•inflationary legislation designed, however imperfectly, to quell social and economic injustice; and there are more of the same, enough to make some wring their hands in frustration. Now, some people sit and worry in seeming helplessness; and some people just sit. There is, however, another approach, which God calls the Way. The Scriptures make mentibn often of the mighty acts of God, which somehow, in a peculiar, process, have come to mean lightning destruction and earthquakes, or spectacular healings. No doubt, these are the mighty acts of God, although more often than not, he works in quiet, unassuming ways. lake, tor instance, the oatn of ctuzensnip, wnicn au -.auauiuu5 make, implicitly or explicitly; it is a sacred vow, in the name of God, to seek justice for all within the national boundaries, so that life, all human life, may be an unhindered development and growth of gifts and powers granted by God. Of course, oaths of citizenship, like all others, are easily broken and ignored, if they were made carelessly or in unawareness of their purpose. Centuries ago, God made an unbreakable oath, as recorded in Gen 22. 15.17, in order to establish order and certainty in a world of deceit and distrust. And God gave the oath in order that there be order and stability where there is normally no such order and stability, that at all times a 'yes' made in God's name will stand in Jesus Christ (Mt 5.37; 11 Cor 1. 18-20). An oath made in thw name of God must stand, for it shows the might of God as he establishes peace and stability in a world in which people seek to cause disorder and instability, a world in which even language is poisoned by deceit. Therefore, God has established the oath in human intercourse in .:is name that there may be trust and hope already now, A good case can be made that present disruptiveness in human communications and human life (e.g., murder, assault) are results of oath -breaking, a careless or selfish denial of citizenship in the name of God. In that name of God is also included Jesus Christ, the Lord of all ages and times, who would redeem this world. One such small instance of that redemption is the oathtaking of citizenship, With Remembrance Day ceremonies only days away, it is a good time for all Canadians, individually and communally, to examine whether or not we are oath -breakers, or oath -abusers, and therefore participants in the causes of unrest over which there is so much handwrinuing. And that oath -keeping involves respect for present governmental authority, disrespective of personal likes and dislikes, for all authority comes from God. God has established, what we consider now a common thing, the oath, that there be order, stability, and peace, in a world of distrust and deceit.

Deputy agriculture looks at changes in Huron in past 25 years Agriculture in Huron County has changed in the past 25 years, yet it has stayed the same. That was the assessment of Gordon Bennet, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Ontario and Agricultural Representative in Huron county 24 years ago as he addressed the Huron jrounty. Federation of Agriculture annual meeting in Clinton on Thursday night. .,,,,,; . . Mr, Bennett said that the biggest change in that period of time is that farming has turned from a high labour input base to a high dollar input. In those days, he said, people worried that they couldn't make any money on the farm. Today, they worr} about the same thing, but, while 25 years ago the maximum capital- ization was $10-15,000, today it's many tines that amount. Conse- quently, he said, there's a big change in the physical layout of the farm. Huron county's gross farm income reached $120 million last year, he said. But while farming has changed, the aims and aspirations of Huron farmers have remained the same. He said that the family farm has been good for the country and that any country that has ^ agricultural industry predicated on the family working together has a sound future. Marketing boards, 14. said have made a great deal of difference in farming. He said the recent egg vote really boiled down to the question: "Do you really want to work together or don't you" and farmers showed by their large majority that they did. He said all new marketing boards have problems but these have to be worked out over time, The now successful pork, milk and bean boards all had their problems, he pointed out. He said he sees times ahead that will be very challenging for farmers. There will be some difficult problems to overcome, he said. One of these r-oblems is farm income protection, or stabilization or whatever it might be called. He said the trick was to bring in a plan which strikes a balance between the two evils of not enough incentive for farmers, and leaving farmers unprotected from the ebb and flow of market conditions. He told the 160 persons present that he had never accomplished a thing on his own, and wasn't ashamed to say that without help, he'd have done very little. In the same way, he said, farmers should work together to solve their problems. Several questionners after the speech tried to pin Mr. Bennett down on farm policies wttn tittle success. He was asked if the ministry would consider a change in the present cow -calf stabiliza- tion plan. He answered that there was provision for review of the plan at the end of each year. Mason Bailey, O.F.A. director and former President of the Huron Federation asked what steps would be needed by the O.F,A. to win govertimunt approval of the O.F.A. as the official bargaining agent for Ontario farmers on the farm income protection plan. Mr, Bennett said he was out of his depth on the question. He said it was hard to say what would convince the government to negotiate with the O.F.A. when there were 22 commodity boards and several other farm organiza- tions in the province. He said he knew some excellent farmers who don't belong to any farm organization at all. "My concern" he said, "is that the proper farm voice is represented." Also present at the meeting were M,P.P,'s Jack Riddell and Murray Gaunt. Mr, Gaunt had to leave early but Mr. Riddell briefly addressed the meeting ,and pledged a continued fight against a power plant in Huron. He said he had heard rumors that Hydro had purchased a piece of property north of Highway 84 and had tried to find out in the Legislature that it wasn't so, but had been unable to get an answer. Such a plant would bring an influx of industry that would seriously inhibit farming in the county he said, Huron's urban citizens want more industry, he said, but this must be industry that is compat- ible with agriculture. The newly elected president of the Federation, Adrian Vos of Blyth who is also chairman of the Huron County Powerplant Com- mittee representing farm groups and others opposed to the East Wawanosh native dies in London hospital MRS.

Spread that among only 3000 farmers, he said and it could have serious financial results. Mr. Vos urged everyone to attend the inquiry into Hydro's long-term plans when it meets in Wingham later this month, A resolution was passed at the meeting recom- niending that Ontario Hydro not be allowed to build power facilities on good food producing land when there were other sites available that wouldn't affect food production. Another resolution passed at the meeting called for the abolition of the present Environ- mental Hearing Board set up used by the province for such things as sewage project hear- ings. The resolution said that these boards don't listen to the public and should be replaced with a board chosen from local people and chaired by the local M.P.P. Supporting the resolution Alan Walper, the new first vice-presi- dent of the Federation argued that "we're the ones who have to live with the decision and we're the ones who have to pay for the project, so we should make the decision." Another resolution was passed calling for better jnstruction on sml=au) seed corn bags as to what plates should be used in the corn planter. Bill Purdon of East Wawanosh, supporting the resol- ution said that his research had showed that the seed companies used testing boxes that were designed to be compatible with John Deere and International planters and those with other makes were in trouble. Another resolution calling for the government to provide free poison for the control of rodents and thereby save loss of grain was defeated. C9I r , ` i `r 40'4P" ,' " " �« 4. �'.iJw_04.

You were a busy couple now. Idle moments you rarely knew For when the work was nearly through, Roy with his hammer in his hand. On many a roof would bravely stand, He hammered board with all his might For carpenter work was his delight The years went by and in 1953 A new branch appeared on the family tree, T'was Shirley Kathleen a bounc- ing girl Who set her parents hearts awhirl. When Tom arrived his family of four Would have marry happy hours in store These two grew up and went to school Where they were taught the golden rule. Tom in his father's footsteps has tread, But Shirley farming seemed to dread To a shoe factory she did go And soon she met' a handsome beau. As years went by Shirley and Ken exchanged their vows A new member has joined the family now, The years sped by and after awhile, One day Kathleen said with a smile, To -day, I'm nearly going wild, For we've just had our first grandchild, T'was Valerie Lynn a sweet young miss.

Pick the right man, ask the right questions DEAR ANN LANDERS:Here's al message to all women in search of a man --object matrimony. Most couples who are in love talk about how many babies they. are going to have, what kind of house they want and where they'd like to vacation. They don't get to the vital issues until, AFTER marriage. Then they discover that one is at the North Pole and the other is at the South Pole. If you want to find out if you and your beloved have a chance for a good life together, ask the following questions. If you don't like the answers, don't fool yourself into thinking he'll change later. He won't. 1. How does he handle problems and pressure? Does he go to pieces? Blame others when things go wrong? Or remain calm and search for the best solution? 2. How does he feel about women? Does he believe they are inferior to men and can't possibly make important decisions? 3. How docs he feel about housework? Does he think it is below his dignity? 4. How does he feel about children? Do they annoy him or docs he enjoy them? What part does he feel a father should play in the rearing of children? Does he believe it'b strictly the mother's job? 5. Is he stingy when it comes to spending mon' on you but somewhat extravagant with him- self?. 6,How does he feel about his job? Is he content to keep doing the same thing for the rest of his life? (If so, you can be sure he'll complain later that he never got a break). 7. What is your social life like? Do you find yourself spending all your spare time with his family and friends and very little with yours? 8.Does he ask you which film you'd like to see and then somehow you end up seeing the one he prefers? 9. How does he handle the car when he's in a bad mood? Does Baintoneers win Blyth Baintoneers went to Seaforth again last Wednesday night to play a game against the Seaforth Jr. Farmers, whom they defeated by a score of 4 to 0. Goals were scored by Linda Hamm with 2 and Joyce Carter with 2. Sue Kolkman and Annette Carter played an excellent game in net. The team will be playing next Wednesday night, November 5 at 11:00 p.m., so come on out and support your team. If you would be interested in trying out for the team, turn to the Coming Events section for further details. Achievement night The 28th annual Huron County 4-H Achievement Night will be held in the Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton on; Friday, November 7 commencing at 8 p.m. All Huron county 4H agricul- tural club members who complet- ed a project in 1975 will receive their awards on this occasion as well as those who have received special trophies and awards for their , 1975 4H club work.. Everyone who has an interest in the 4H program is invited to attend the achievement night. he drive like a crazy man when he's ticked off? (This isa real symptom of immaturity.) 10. Does he become irritated if you are late but expect you to be understanding when he is late? 11. How does he feel about birth control? Does he think the entire burden should be on the woman? lf, for example, you are unable to take the Pill, would he be willing to accept the respon- sibility to protect you from an unwanted pregnancy? 12. Has he ever slapped or punched you and later said he was sorry-- and then done it again? 13. Docs he treat his own mother and yours with respect? 14. How is his sense of humor? Can he laugh at himself or does he see something funny only at the expense of others? 15. How is his credit? Is he inclined to buy things on impulse, then have trouble paying his bills? 16. Is he truthful, or have you caught him in little lies which he has tried to wriggle out of? 17, Do you really enjoy his company --even when . you are sitting silently? 18. Have you thought about what he'll be like in 25 years? Do you honestly want to live with him till death do you part? Sign Mc --Sorry Now 1 Never Asked DEAR NEVER: Thank you for allowing millions to learn from your experience. those questions are superb guidelines to the true character of a man. * * * How much do you know about pot, L.S.D. , cocain, speed, meth, uppers and downers, glue and heroin?

Madill teachers and students, I hope to reassure our students and their parents that the standards for acceptable and effective communication remain high. They were never relaxed though several levels of attain- ment were established in the past decade for all courses and subjects. The criteria for a passing grade in a high' level English course for an honour diploma in higher than it ever was. Students who have entered University from this school did not require remedial courses - nor will they in the immediate future. This statement is based on visible evidence which I would show proudly to any doubters. The 'evidence' consists of 80 research essays written by the Grade Twelve, English AG: classes this month. These demonstrate as high a' standard of organization, writing skill, original thinking, scholarly researcn as I've ever been privileged to assess. Furthermore, it will be almost two years before these students will be writing university essays and they are evidently capable of doing so now. Moreover, those students now enrolled in the standard level English courses are constantly practising the specialized skills required for effective communi- cation in our, business world. They -do write 'proper' business letters and 'correct' technical reports. Setting standards does not mean that students attain them. However, if they do not attain these standards at F. E. Madill S.S., they fail. In spite of this, a higher percentage of students completes more grades of school than a generation ago. Even 10 years ago, 60 percent of the high school population left before Grade Twelve. This means that more of our students are now graduating; no longer are graduates a small elite group. Of course all are not scholarly and we can point to. more graduates who spell and write poorly. However, we could also point out more who write skilfully and effectively. This week the final draft of a Language Skills teaching plan was distributed to the Huron County schools for use in all English classes from Grades 1 to 13. A glance at this chart for teaching the use of our language could reassure anyone that students are being taught "the basics" of correct language usage. I assure you that some have learned to use it splendidly. SCHOOL DAZE One cheerleader on the way out to the last football game, was touched by the concerned advice of a fellow student. "Dress warmly now, or you'll freeze your pompoms." *** The battle for the merit of most knowledgable mathematician, between a brilliant bespectacled student and a math teacher frequently haunting room 200, recently took on new dimensions. After a long, complicated, garbled explanation of a non- existing problem, the student, finally realizing his mistake stuttered, "Forget it. Forget it. I'm wrong." With that historical statement, all papers ceased rustling, all breathing stopped. The teacher's eyes widened anc his mouth dropped open. Sudden, ly, he recovered and smiled. And why not? He was now ahead in the game. But alas, this victory went to his head, and when he graphed (1,•1) in the first quadrant, the score became even once more. *** Walking into the boys' locker room on Monday morning, Mr. Campbell got the surprise of his life. There, before his very eyes, with back turned to him was a gorgeous blond, with long shape- ly legs beneath a pleated skirt, and a figure that would put Marilyn Monroe to shame. Now, Mr. Campbell is usually a reasonable man, and takes Women's Liberation for its face, value, but a girl in the boys' locker room was just too much. Stalking up behind the individual, he prepared to send her on a short trip right through the door. On closer examination though, the curves turned out to be angles. Heaving a sigh of relief, Mr. Campbell discovered the "she" to be a he. *** Last week was progress report week, and the parents of the students got a chance to see how their child was progressing or not progressing. One student, sport- ing a disappointing report pre- pared his mother by stating, "I failed in every subject except geography." The mother, amazed, asked, "How is it that you passed geography?" Taking a gulp, shoving his hands to ' the bottoms of his pockets, and with his eyes never leaving the floor, the boy replied, "Because I didn't take geography." CAMERA CLUB 1 quickly learned this week that everyone in the Camera Club is a hard worker. As I walked in the door Mr. Willis handed me a paper towel and told me to wash and dry some jars. After I finished, Mr. Willis agreed to tell me some facts about the camera club. The eight members of this club meet every two weeks on Thursday night in either the dark room or the auto shop. The club aims to create an interest in black and white photography among the students. The club has 3 cameras which each member may use to take pictures then process and enlarge them themselves. The camera club has excellent facilities to teach the basics of photography however the small darkroom prevents practical demonstrations to the members. This club has now been active since 1964 when it began with three members. New members are always welcome but watch out for Mr. Willis and his dishpan when you enter. Inspiration: Isn't it strange that we look at the weaknesses of a person and say, "So that's what he's really like!" why don't we consider an act of charity or a gesture of kindness and say, "That's the real self showing through." TEACHER -STUDENT TABLE TENNIS MATCH Last Wednesday, October 29 the excitement was high in Gym 228 as the teacher -student table tennis match got under way. The students excelled to keep up with ,the teacher's expert playing. However, as the match wore on the teachers showed their profi- ciency in this sport and rose to defeat the students 24 games to 4. Congratulations teachers! VOLLEYBALLS AWAY: Last Wednesday night in Activity Period, two teams assembled in gym 254 to engage in an awesome battle. This battle was, of course, the Student - Teacher Volleyball Game. Lining up on the teacher's side were such greats as Mr. Brewster, Mr. Hunter, Mr. .Taylor, Mr. Stuckey, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Shore, Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Lobb, Mrs. Hopper and Mrs. Schofield. New faces in the crowd were Mr, Mali, Mr. Elliot, Mr. Lane and Mrs. Radford, Tywla Dickson, Maxine Watts, Bruce Jermyn, Dianne Penning- ton, Ruth Henderson, Ken Tervit, Brian Cooper, Jim Ritter, John Campbell, Nelson Underwood, Jeff Bumstead, Robin Brent, Mike Heim, Kendra MacDonald, Rick McKay and Rick Fines made up the Student's Team, Mr, Teachers re trip to Rus BY ROSS HAUGH Two Huron Board of Education teachers who spent three weeks this fall attending a physical fitness seminar in Russia told Board members of their experiences Monday afternoon, Ron McKay, principal of Hensall Public School and Bill Weber of the physical education department of Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton said the priorities in Russian sports were much different than in Canada. McKay said," their big priority is on winning in International sports competition. We have been fortunate to compete on their level and stay close in recent years. l would say in three years a National Hockey league team wouldn't win a game against the Russian national team." Russian youngsters get twice as much time in school physical education as Canadian boys and girls. McKay said the emphasis on gymnastics is on the seven, eight and nine year old children. All levels spend about 70 hours per year on the various activities while in Huron County the average time is about 35 hours. The school year in Russia is broken. -into three terms with a month's holiday after each term. To make up some of the extra holiday time they go to school six days per week. Physical education is a comp- ulsory subject throughout Russian Schools. Pupils showing promise in 'a particular sport are encouraged to attend a school specializing in that particular activity. Good athletes from the various schools are then encouraged to attend sport boarding schools. Outstanding competitors arc from the boarding schools arc sought by the various sports clubs. The two Huron men said bidding among the five or six top sports clubs in the Soviet Union is keen for promising International athletes. They listed the sports clubs as Dynamc, Locamotive, Red Army, Spartak and Bruevestnik. The emphasis on teacher training and sports coaches is also very high. They have 23 institutions to prepare specialists and 84 faculties at Teacher Colleges. Physical education is ranked third in priority in Russia, behind language and mathematics. In North America, P.E. is ranked somewhere from twelfth to fourteenth. Chess is taught at the university level and is considered very important for athletes to develop tactical techniques. Individual coaching is carried out in most sports. Bill Weber said, in most activities there is one coach for every three athletes and in tennis it is one to one, Every apartment building has a physical education instructor." The Clinton teacher went on to say," I was impressed with the great degree of specialism and their scientific methods. Each sport has its own gym," APPROVE FIELD TRIPS Three school field trips were approved Monday, About 25 members of the South Huron District High School junior doers • Campbell ably performed the duties of .referee. After captains Bruce : Jermyn and Miss Schofield ,tossed a coin, the game began with the teachers having first serve, which they lost without gaining any points. The students forced the. same with their serve. Then Mr. Simpson put the teacher's team on the scoreboard by scoring a point. port on sia club will be leaving Friday for a three day stay at the Gord Johns farm, north of Wingham. Superintendent R.B. Allan said this was an intital junior Outers trip to put to pra^tical use activity period learning in proper clothing cooking, camping and canoeing. Approximately 130 South Huron History students will be travelling by bus to Ottawa on November 13 to acquire a greater knowledge and understanding of Canada's political system and an appreciation of the nation's capital. REJECT MILEAGE HIKE A recommendation by the Huron County Board of Education Chairman's Advisory Committee to increase the mileage rate for members and employees to 18 cents per mile was defeated, Monday. The current rate paid for use of members and employees privately owned vehicles is 15 cents per mile. Trustee John Elliott of Blyth was the first to oppose the proposed increase saying, "With other negotiations going on 1 don't think this is the time for an increase. There have been no recent increases in costs. Gas- oline prices at least in our area have remained steady." Agreeing quickly was trustee Charlie Thomas. He added, "Any increase would have to be justified by actual increases in operating costs". Director of Education John Cochrane told Board members the average rate paid to Province of Ontario employees is 17' cents per mile. Trustee John Westbrooke added," 1 learned today that the County of Huron pays 17 cents per mile or $60 per month and 12 cents per mile." Slowly the teacher's score grew until they were leading 6.1. Mike Heim, serving for the students, scored three points. The teachers retaliated however, when Mr. Shore raised their score by two. Then the students began to play. Bruce Jermyn began to serve, and scored three points in a row. Mr. Mali, when he saw Bruce's superb serve whizzing over the net, fell to his knees in reverance. The rest of the teachers scrambled to "keep the ball in the air." Finally the score was 10-10. The students played their secret card. Five points scored by Jim Ritter gave the game to the students! By the second game, the teachers had discovered which was the net, and which was the ball. The game picked up. Although at the beginning of the game the students led 4.0, the teachers, seeming to realize their dignity was at stake, began to try to hit the ball over the net. This technique proved to be successful and the teachers won the game, due to Mr. Simpson's excellent serving. All the teachers who took part in this game deserve a lot of credit. As well as giving us students a good time, we hope they had fun doing it. Certainly this volleyball game is a memory many of us will have for a long, long time, CLUB NEWS BY GORDON WRAY The Safety Awareness finals were held on October 30. Those who made the team are Andy Heim, Glenn McLean, Bob Strauss and Gordon Wray. The Book and Record Swap is in progress. There were almost 200 books at the start of the sale and more are welcome. Aside from this, how many people noticed that the prisoner in the main display case has two left hands. Year book sales have drawn to a close. For those of you who haven't bought one, you don't know what you have missed. Student Council is taking a short rest after passing some $4,367 in budgets. The two biggest budgeters, Activities and Athletics councils and a few smaller clubs who have not yet been considered will almost drive the amount passed in budgets to $8,000.
