He said that during•the strike readers have been forced to journey to newspaper offices or ncwstands to get the copy of the weekly paper they usually receive in the mail. "Every week since the strike 95 percent of weekly readers have called somewhere for their paper," he said. Mr. Wenger suggested that the concentration of coverage by the weekly on the community it electronic media services cover huge areas and cannot devote the • same effort to one community the weekly can. "The weekly is the only source of detailed information on munici- pal government at a local level, announcements of graduations and descriptions of son's and daughter's weddings," said Mr. Wenger. 'The closeness of the weekly press to the community it serves gives it the knowledge of the ' wants and fears of the commu(tl!ty that can't be understood by the larger daily or the electronic ;services." he suggested.

A good/bad move When Murray Gaunt decided a couple of weeks ago not to seek the leadership of the Ontario Liberal party many in his Huron -Bruce riding felt a split in their reaction. Most people seemed to breath a sigh of relief, Mr, Gaunt is so well liked that few of his constituents wanted to sec him lowered into the lions' den of provincial politics. They have seen what happened to other nice guys like Robert Stanfield and Robert Nixon when they were made the centre of the hurricane. The process is a common one. First the nice guy gets criticized for being too nice, then when his advisers get him to try to change his image, he is knocked for being either a fake, or not nice enough, or both. So those who have admired the work of Mr. Gaunt over the years are r happy that he won't be picked apart by the vultures waiting t g for the new leader of the party. Yet many are also a little sorry that he isn't running. He's a good man. He deserves a promotion. Looking at the present list of delcared candidates for the position, one gets the feeling he's a long way ahead of anyone else as far as capability. Those who have seen him work, who know of his fine political instinct (he knew long before anyone else that an upset was in the making in the Huron by-election in 1972) know he is capable of being one of the best premiers we've had, if he could win the position. But they know too that his chances of making it at this time are not good. Mr. Gaunt showed hiF understanding of the situation when he said that the party and the province right now want an urban oriented leader and he isn't; they want a high profile leader, he isn't. The third and most important reason he didn't run was that he didn't want to burden his family at this important time in the lives of his children It's the kind of situation most people in his home riding will understand. It points up once again that Mr. Gaunt is a class gentleman. He's a bright light in the generally murkey world of politics. Now we know For some time now the people of Canada have been wondering how it was possible for anything to get fouled up as badly as the post office. Well now we know. Obviously the recruiters at the post office must have picked up the stupidest bunch of people in Canada to sort the mail. The conclusion is the only one can reach after the fiasco of the past few weeks. Just as it began to look hopeful last week that the mail strike might end, the negotiations broke off because the union wouldn't accept the offer of the post office. It was the same offer they received months ago and the same offer they'll get a month from now if the strike is still on, but somehow these deluded gentlemen seem to think they can get more by holding out a little longer. All they can do is take a few more dollars out of the pockets of their union members and probably wreck their union. But if these postmen can't tell a firm no when they see one, how can we expect them to be able to get the mail to where it should go, and on time? Let's abolish small business It seems that some government or other took action to abolish small business. It may seem heretical to suggest that your local food or hardware •store or the little factory down the way should be closed or nationalized, but there seems little other choice, Such a move would prevent idealistic men and women from throwing themselves into a vocation that has little to offer but frustration and ulcers, The actions of governments and the ordinary guy in the street in the past few years have indicated that they think the little business should be ruthlessly weeded out of our way of life. Government has promoted big business and with tax concessions, fat government contracts and forgiveable loans while putting more and more roadblocks in the road of the self-employed proprietor or person with a small staff. The latest blow to such people is the mail strike which has crippled some businesses and will mean the end of quite a few in the coming weeks. Businesses can't live without money, and many businesses depend on the post office to get that money in. Courier systems are fine, but they cost so much that many companies can't stand the extra financial strain and others just can't find an alternative to the post office. Down the road are more troubles. The Ontario Federation of Labour meeting in Kitchener last week called for a $4 per hour minimum wage, nearly double the present wage. That is more than many small store owners and others earn themselves even with the long hours they put in. The O.F.L. is unlikely to get its request, but the pressure is growing for the government to increase the minimum wage dramatically. The Ontario labour minister has already stated he is thinking of increasing the minimum for the fourth time in two years. This affects many businesses including those who pay more than the minimum will have to increase pay to keep ahead of minimum wage levels. The only answer seems to be for the government to take ,over the small businesses and pay the present owners the same kind of salaries they're now handing out to government employees, or at least the minimum wage level, with such extra bonuses as maximum 40 hour weeks, overtime pay, two -three week holidays and statuatory holidays. The only other alternative is to begin to look at the problems of the small businessman -and solve them, but that seems beyond the scope of our pr. sent pi %:ernments. Free enterprise and initiative are dirty words tr , sc nays. Long Lonely road M.V.C.A. manager says nature is best flood protector The Maitland Valley Conserv- ation Authority has established what it feels are badly needed flood plain regulations for the Maitland Valley and now have a political hot potato getting the regulations enforced. Ian Deslauriers, resources manager for the MVCA, told a Goderich Rotary club meeting recently that the Authority was striving to give the river back its own when they established a flood plain, and that the plain was primarily for the protection of homeowners. "Zoning the flood plain is a positive step for flood protection but is getting a negative political reaction," said Mr. Deslauriers, He said the flood plain, which drains about 1,000 square miles of land into the Maitland River, was designated by the authority on maps but that none of the maps have been registered by the province. The zoning, he explain- ed, meant that no buildings of any type and no fill could be placed on the flood plain of the county's largest river. The loggerhead between the MVCA and politics arises from potential land use being looked at in the flood plain. Mr. Deslauriers said that some agricultural factions, both federal and provin- cial, and some municipalities bordering the river are promoting use of the flood plain for farm land or housing. The authority wants the area kept entirely in its natural state to allow it to drain its watershed. "The direction taken by the province in the matter seems to be to do nothing," he said. "We (MVCA) have had no response to our zoning and land designation requests but as yet no steps have been taken to alter the plain by any group." The resources manager cited drainage pragtices in agriculture as an example of what the, authority was trying to prevent. He said that ditching, dug to allow farm land to drain, was increasing the volumes of water and its speed running into the river and adding to the already severe flood problems exper- ienced upstream. He said that several large swamp areas were being looked at as potential agricultural land if cleared and drained but that the effects such clearing would have on the flood plain would be drastic, "These swamps are natural holding areas for flood water and if you remove them then the water has nowhere to go but downstream and its increased ?Jaime and velocity merely adds to the flood levels in the lower river area," the speaker rea- soned, The Authority is attempting an educational program for lawyers, professional people involved in housing, engineers and municipal clerks to allow them to offer some sort of consumer protection. He said that by educating these people they could advise potential home buyers in the flood plain of their risks of flood damage and encourage them to build else- where. He said that engineers could also advise anyone investi- gating the reclaiming of a swamp arca of the effects that claiming may have and discourage their projects. "The best protection of the swamps and the flood plain is simply to buy the land or control it," said Mr. Deslauriers, A pictoral summary of flood activity and damage was offered by Mr. Deslauriers as he stressed the need for flood protection. He pointed out that the Maitland has swollen over its banks three times in the past two years and has twice caused extensive damage to homes along the river and crept into municipal areas causing extensive erosion of roads. He said that in one of the floods the water level rose five feet in as many hours but that fortunately, the conservation authority was able to predict the flood and allowed many home and business owners to prepare for the flood and minimize damage. "Protection of the natural state of the plain is for the protection df people in the arca as well as for the taxpayers," said Mr. Deslaur- iers. "You and I will pay now and continue to pay for years for repairing flood damage as more buildings go up on the flood plain and repair costs get more expensive, He added that the banks of the river near Goderich were ideal as a flood plain. He said they were very wide and now, after several incidences of flood damage, uninhabited which allowed the river to swell in peak seasons with out costing money or creating damage. "Some optimists are hopeful that the floods will become less of a problem in the future but we at the Authority are positive if the flood plain is not preserved they will become larger and more damaging year by year," he said. N.D.P. organizer sees election in a year After remaining dormant for the last few years, the New Democratic Party has awakened in Huron -Bruce with the founding of a riding association recently in Kincardine. Elected president was Whitney Crawford) Tiverton. Other officers are Mary Lachlan, Kin- cardine, secretary; Barbara Ann Eggleton, RR 1, Kincardine, treasurer and chief financial officer; and Dr. Don Milne, R.R.4 Kincardine, provincial council delegate, Other members of the new riding association executive will be elected later from other areas in the riding. Attending last week's meeting was Gerry Barr, NDP provincial organizer, who told the gathering that planning for the next provincial election must begin as soon as possible. He predicted that another provincial election may be called within one to one and one half years. At present, the ruling Progressive Conservative party has a minority government with the NDP forming the official opposition. To prepare for the coming election the Huron -Bruce NDP is launching a membership drive throughout the riding, During the meeting Mr. Barr discussed campaign strategy with the new association members telling them that NDP prospects • in the riding are promising. He also reviewed the NDP position in the legislature saying that the news media seemed to recognize the party almost as being the offical opposition before the September 18 election. Now that the party has infact become the official opposition it has gained new respect in some circles, being approached for comments on vital provincial issues, he said, Also discussed were the mis- conceptions some persons in the riding, particularly farmers and employees at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development may have held during the last election. Mr. Barr said that the provincial NDP has proposed a farm income stabilization plan similar to one now in the works proposed by the Ontario federation of Agriculture, There was a feeling among some workers at BNPD that an NDP government would put a halt on growth of the power complex curtailing employment prospects there, This impression, was erroneous as the NDP wants to curtail needless expansion, not take away jobs. Mr. Barr said he was pleased with the attendance at the meeting and the high caliber of persons involved with the new association. THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 12, 1975. PG. 5.

Pro-life group holds annual dinner at Goderich Approximately 100 Pro Life members and guests attended the Second Annual ProLife Dinner Meeting held in the Victoria Street United Church, Goderich on Wednesday evening, October 22, Co-chairman was Mrs. Connie Osborn, Grace before the meal was said by Reverend Father Ed Dentinger, C.R,, of Kingsbridge. Following a delicious hot beef dinner head table guests were introduced. Guest speaker, L.L. deVeber, M.D., F.R.C,P. and Mrs. deVeber, of London; Rev- erend Leonard Warr; Jack Riddell M.P.P. and Mrs. Riddell; Dan Murphy, Q.C. and Mrs. Murphy; Mrs. Harriet Klazinga, secretary and Mr. Klazinga; Mrs, Alice Krohmer, treasurer; Mrs. Connie Osborn and Mr. Osborn. Folk Singers, Mrs. Sharon,Munro and Mrs. Barbara Hodgins sang, words and music were composed by Barbara. Jack Riddell, M.P.P. congratu- lated the group for their achievements accomplished. He said, "he believed and shared the same concerns as you people do" and he was not reluctant to get up and express his views. He had taken the time to write Marc Lalonde and Otto Lang but the answer is always the same, "It is a Provincial Matter". I will continue to fight along with youlo- see that justice is done and see that these unborn people have every chance. In introducing the guest speaker, Dan Murphy, Q.C. told the audience that Dr. deVeber was a Professor of Pediatrics, the Past President of Alliance for Life, and was just recently elected to the position of Secretary Treasurer of Canadian Physicians For Life. Doctor deVeber compli- mented the Pro Life Groups from Goderich and Wingham on the terrific year in which "One Million Canadian signatures were presented to Parliament", You are not a minority group, but part of that huge crowd. The topic of his speech was "The Unborn Patient in Euthanasia". A good deal of my professional career has been devoted to studying the RH problem. The blood disease where reaction between the mother and baby can produce anaemia and death in the baby. Methods developed over the last 10 years to study this disease include analysis of the amniotic fluid which surrounds the baby in the uterus and, more recently, direct vision of the baby with a new instrument called a feto- scope. In some cases, these babies must be transfused before they are born because they are too premature to be delivered. This transfusion before birth represents the first, and to my knowledge, the only currently used operation on the unborn child. RH Vaccine protects the unborn from RH Disease. This approach has saved the lives of many babies. The pioneering in Canada was done in Winnipeg following the lead of Doctor Liles in New Zealand. This pioneer work has lead to further speculation about surgery on the unborn. The technical equipment to produce an artificial placenta and heart lung type of prepara- tion has been perfected for animals and various types of quite complicated surgery have beet carried out on unborn animals The main problem with humans h that the uterus or womb is very irritable and although an opera- tion on an unborn child might be successful, this would result in early labour and death of the baby from prematurity. This happened once in our centre where a small unborn child was taken out of the mother, transfussed successfully and put back in again only to have it delivered prematurely. This operation, by the way, raises some interesting questions since the baby, legally was not human until it was taken a'at for the operation, remained 'human during the operation and lost its human status when put bac; into the womb. illustrating with slides, Dr. deVeber showed babies born at 20 weeks and with expert care survived. These babies have legal rights to society which the unborn baby at 20 weeks doesn't have. He showed current status of studies on the unborn child and the prospects of future surgery. Open Heart surgery may well be done within 5 years on the unborn! it seems that if the unborn child, the fetus, has achieved the status of a patient, it should have some rights to life and not'be disposed of because it is. unwanted. As we well know, Abortion is being widely used to eliminate unwanted unborn children and selective abortion of defective children is now a very prominent part of the genetic counselling programme in most of the major teaching centres in North ,America. We admit that some of Bill and Marge Dale honoured at Walton A very enjoyable anniversary party was held at Family Paradise on l;iallowe'en night for Marge and Bill Dale, bride and groom of 35 years The evening began as friends, relatives and neighbours danced to the music of "The Silver - tones." During intermission the Dale's five daughters were called to the front of the hall, along with their parents, with the eldest daughter reading the address and the youngest presenting their Moni and Dad with a gift. Following the dance the girls .served a cold meat lunch with wedding cake. It was 35 years this October When Rev. Gardiner tied the knot And Moni and Dad settled down to farming In Hullet, 1110 was the lot. Dad thought it'd be easier than banking A little less worry and strain - This is.'till his hay. got all ruined 'hat very first year with the rain. 3ut Mother's announcement soon :hecrcd him 4nd set him in a bit of a whirl As the following fall he became The proud Gather of a baby girl. And this was only the beginning For gracious sakes alive! i'll bet he'd never guess then That he was going to end up with five. Well Father had to develop some hobbies To escape family worries and cares So he tended to his Clydesdales And judged at all the fairs. And politics was ever present It must enter into our story Thcrc were meetings and conven- tions and elections Now - was he a Grit? -or was he a Tory? Then later on he bought some Guernseys Which became his pride and joy And Mom and us girls were great helpers Yes, just as good as some boys. There was milking in the morning There was milking to do at night And haying and gardening and housekeeping Nov, didn't they bring us up right? But when we had grown up And started leaving home one by one Mom and Dad decided to take it easy Sell the ficin, and have some fun. They nu)\ed into the town of Seaforth Along ‘vith some of the Kinburn elan To a little house on John Street Come visit them if you can. These 35 years have been full of living There's been happy times and sad They've weathered the hard times together And I'll het it makes them glad.

' ;these babies would be born with severe life-threatening conditions 'and could not survive very long. However, the list of genetic disorders that can be detected through removal of the amniotic fluid and study of the tissues and cells is growing longer, and includes many mild conditions. Sonic eugenically inclined geneticists are enthusiastic about eliminating all unborn children who are known to have a genetic defect even though the child would live a normal life like its parents. If one accepts that the unborn child or fetus is a member of the human race and very little different from a newborn baby, then I think you can see how this practice sets the stage for euthanasia after birth. In many medical centres, newborns with either mental or physical defects who develop life threatening surgical complications are not operated on and are allowed to die. In our Canadian Society, parents do not have the right to withhold life-saving treatment from their child. Arguments are that defective babies will cost society tremend- ous amounts of money and that they may require institutional care. When we can spend billions of dollars sending men to the noon and huge sums of money on heart transplants, surely we can 1 find the means to look after these members of our society. We see ;then a disturbing trend in medicine in dealing with unwant- ed individuals. We start with the unborn who can be destroyed because he is simply unwanted. Then, the newborn who will be allowed to die because he is defective and finally to the handicapped and the elderly because they are a burden 'to their family and to society. It is disturbing to see increasing numbers of physicians and nurses and paramedical personnel whose initial reaction to a handicapped or defective individual is "How can we get rid of them" rather than "How can we help medical profession and other segments of society. To paraphrase a quote from an old German Physician in Frederick Wertham's book, "A Sign for Cain" "When the ;Physician begins to put a value on the life of his patients, he becomes the most dangerous man lin the state". With public outcry, Euthanasia can be stopped. Let us examine our consciences and i ask if, when the history of this era is written, we really respond- ed properly to these moral crises. In conclusion, 1 think we have to consider the last judgment and the second commandment, Love They Neighbour, l feel that one of the main criteria for this judgement will be our attitude to our neighbour, specifically the Unborn, the Handicapped, th'e, Elderly and all those who appear to be judged lesser citizens of our society and whose basic freedom for right to life is being threatened, Mrs. Clarice Dalton thanked Dr. deVeber and presented him with a gift of money and the book, "Behold Man" by Lennirt Neilson • a must for every medical library. Mrs: Osborn thanked the Board of Directors for the past year and asked them to stand. Reverend Barz, Reverend Warr, Clarice Dalton, Teresa Courtney, Ann Brand, Penny Pelss, Sharon Munro, Martha Kuipers, Karriett Klazinga and Alice Krohmer. Retiring from the Board, Anne Brand and Alice Krohmer. A vote of thanks was given.

We Deliver • 0 Minister's Study It's a shame BY TED HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Isn't it a shame that some people waste their whole life with foolishness? These arc men and women who insist on charting their, own courses in life. Their crowning ambition is to make a name for' themselves, or to establish themselves in a business or occupation in which they will be financially secure, so that in good time, they can enjoy the pleasures of life, To such God says: "They have sown wheat, and have rear" thorns, they have tired ,themselves out but profit nothing." (Jer 12.13; Hosea 8.7; Prov 22,8) Only when the whole of life is dedicated to God, or more biblically, when God takes a person and joins him/her to the Church of Jesus Christ, then the Lord is fulfilling his Word that out of all nations and walks of life, men and women will come whose lives are dedicated to one thing. And that one purpose is that they serve God in Jesus Christ. For this purpose God created people in the beginning, and for this God recreates the people whom he calls to believe in his Son. The believe in Jesus Christ means that work and family, lifetime ambitions and pleasures, all are dedicated to God, a dedication which is not according to what men think is right, but according to what God has decreed is good, just, and true, , Some may think this is too narrow, too restricted. Is it? Is not selfishness and taking care of one's own needs the most restricted and cumbersome bond anyone can devise? For then life is limited by human capabilities and the present life (as long as it will last). The greatest freedom anyone can ever experience comes in the knowledge that Jesus died to redeem his people and then to express thankfulness for this deliverance from eternal profitlessness in serving him wholly. For then life is open to the grace; might, and eternity of God. It is in this context and framework that life has meaning. For instance, raising children to the glory of God is then of eternal significance. So is the establishing of a business or a vocation, or the appreciation of pleasure and leisure time. All things done to honor God carry eternal meaning and value, eternal meanings which begin in the here and now. Everything done for ourselves and our benefit carries no profit. "The point is this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully."

Blonde, blue-eyed and headed for trouble She was 15, blonde, blue-eyed and headed for trouble. If the above sounds like the I' beginning of a Grade 13 Holly- wood thriller, at (east the locale is , correct, The setting was Cali- fornia, but the circumstances were not what one might suppose. The young lady in question was driving her bright yellow, 1966 Mustang along a highway outside a major California city. She was ordered by a state highway patrolman to pull into a roadside vehicle inspection station. That's where her trouble began. First of all, being underagcd, she had no license to drive the car. (Only the fact that front -seat passenger was holding a small baby in her lap prevented the police from impounding the car.) The vehicle itself was as lethal as a letter bomb from a terrorist. Most of the lugs holding the wheel to the axle were missing. Thus, the paper thin tires were listing at an oblique anglo to the road. Shock absorbers weren't functioning, brakes were defec- tive, the exhaust system leaked, lights did not work and the engine was missing practically every emission control element includ- ing the air cleaner. In total, 18 violations of safety and anti - emission codes were found. Whilethe random inspection program responsible for the above scene has been dropped by California in a budget slashing move, results show the need for inspection in that and other states. It's Fall and Time to Care for Your Car Two pages of tips on caring for your car N() LICENSE, NO LUCK — Iiecortlint; more violations than she hail years, a 15 -year -0l11 California motorist was apprehended during a random vehicle eheck, Under -aged, she had no license to drive and her ear was totally unsafe, Note the nearly hald tires and wheels held in place by only three Ittt;s in the rear. Also, the motor was completely devoid of any anti -pollution equipment including air cleaner, California has since halted its random safety and emissions inspection program. Of the 1,518,698 vehicles checked last year (11.5 percent of California's total) nearly a million safety defects were spotted. In addition 1.2 million cars were checked for emissions and 23 percent of them exceeded allowable limits. As far as safety was concerned, about half the cars had defective lights, about 15 percent had noisy or leaky exhausts and another 15 percent had unsafe tires or wheels. Other common defects were bad wiper blades (84,000), unsafe brakes (36,000, obstructed glass (30,000), defective steering (20,000), and inoperative suspen- sion (19,000). Experts give tips on skid prevention To the motorist who lives in cold, snowy winter weather, getting a car out of a skid is hardly more than a routine annoyance. However, motorists used to driving on normally dry pavements can run into problems should they be traveling in frigid areas or be confronted by a freak snow storm at home. Therefore, the Rubber Associa- tion of Canada shares its experience in safe driving on bad r' 'ds. With the reminder that stopping on a wet road can take four times the normal distance as on a dry road, the association urges reduced speeds. Also distance between your car and the one in front should be doubled. On starting out and with no cards around, test the surface by 'raking the car lightly. When braking, pump the pedal, bring the car to a gradual stop. Jamming on the brakes is likely to lock the wheels and put the car into a skid, Should you start to enter a skid, take your foot off the gas padal, stay off the brakes and steer in the direction of the skid. When the car is straightening out, pump the brakes gently to slow down, The association offers these tire care tips to help avoid trouble. Keep the tires inflated properly. Unequal pressure in the front tires promote instability on bad roads. Another important reason to check tires frequently in cold weather is that tire pressure drops approximately one pound for every 10° drop in tempera- ture.

And, we are, most of the time, Some accidents happen to drivers who are usually quite careful, b'it who may have their attention distracted • even for just a moment. Here is a check list of some of the most frequently encountered Gas problems show need for car care Often, it is difficult for the average citizen to imagine how anything he or she does as an individual can affect the course of the nation. Certainly, a vote is important but a single ballot among millions cast appears to get lost in the seeming avalanche of public opinion. A tonununica• tion to a legislator niay receive a courteous reply but one often wonders if the lett' r actually matte any impression at all. Now a situation confronting the nation has all aspect that each Of us, particularly motorists, can influence in a direct and compelling way. And that is the energy prohk'ni that threatens to sap our national vitality and has already shaken our economy, Regarding the oil supply In particular regard to our soil supply, we are dependent upon enormous quantities of imported petroleum. Much of the: crude conies from areas whose past histories indicate they are of questionable dopendability. As a result, prices for oil have gone to heights unimaginable only a few years ago and the specter of new shortages constantly looms over us. In a "heavy, heavy hangs over thy head" mood, our nation's leaders propose rationing, burdensome taxes on fuel, prohibition of driving and other detriments t0 our primary trans- portation system, the private automobile. Yet if governmental spokesman are to be heeded, if we were to cut our gasoline consumption by one sixth, our oil import, problem would largely diminish into manageable proportions. - And that is where each of us tortes in. By properly maintain- ing your car, by driving it sensibly and by sharing the ride when possible, that 16.6 per cent fuel savings is attainable. We know an untamed engine wastes between one and two gallons of gas per tankful and that 60 percent of all cars in the nation need engine service. We also know that millions of vchicics are so badly out of tune that they are wasting in excess of 20 percent of their fuel supply. • We know motorists arc guilty of other sloppy maintenance habits that waste fuel and other natural resources. Underinflated tires, another cause of wasted fuel, are virtually epidemic among our vehicles, according to a recent tire Sunday School teachers hold workshop company survey. And thoughtless driving habits like traveling too fast, weaving in and out of traffic, panic stops and "jet plane" take -offs can waste close to half the fuel supply in extreme cases. Unfortunately, the typical motorist has a lifetime of bad habits to overcome. Heretofore, maintenance has been something the guy you sold your year-old trade-in to had to worry about. And sensible driving was fine - when you spotted a police car in the rear-view 1111rr01'. Of course the biggest challenge to the motorists in this battle for survival confronts all motorists everywhere regardless of where you may do most of your driving. For now conlc,s the bad weather season with its extraordinary demands on efficient motor vehicle performance. Hard start- ing with its accompanying drain on the gasoline supply, when the car is not properly tuned, is a most common problem frequently affecting automobiles in the south as well as those in the blustery, wintry, snowy north. Motorists everywhere must cop with gas -guzzling stop and go driving in bad weather. Best place to start We, who• have always taken pride in responding to national emergencies before, must realize that the energy problem is as much a threat to'us as any foreign adversary ever was. And unless each of us pitches in to save our resources, the consequences could be unthinkably dismal. The best place to start is to bring your car into your favorite service outlet to make sure it is in good condition not only for fuel conservation but also for safe and dependable operation. Use this care for your car section as reference to help you determine just what your car might need.

Cure: Have everything likely to be needed out of the glove compartment before starting out, or, pull off the road and stop, •Trying to read a road map while driving, Cure: If driving on unfamiliar territory, first find out exactly where you are from street names, highway signs, or other landmarks. Then pull off the road, fine the location on your map, and plot out your next move. •Trying to put on or take off a coat orjacket while driving. Cure: Stop the car, out of traffic. How many drivers have been caught with one arm in coat with a traffic signal turns green? *Trying to locate an object dropped on the car floor. This hazard is especially dangerous to smokers, who are aware of fire dangers from a fallen cigarette, or aware of damage that can be (10I1c to car seat or clothing. Cure: Stop the car, in the case of a cigarette, as quickly as safely as possible. Never try to solve this problem while the car is moving. •Having clutter or garbage on the car floor. Cure: Always carry a garbage collector for pop bottles soft drink cans or other items that can so easily roll under a pedal. •A bug or other insect in the vehicle. This one is prevalent in summer. Cure: Either take the bite, or stop the car at the first opportunity. Sometimes, driving with windows open can encourage insect to leave - he's probably just as happy to be out of your car! *Items on the dash. Business papers that can blow away, pencils, crayons or pens that can disappear dow the defroster vents, portable radios or tape players that can fall and similar items should never be kept on the dash while driving. *Storage over the sun visor. Once again, the .elastic or whatever secures items can break, causing distractions, or your attention can be momentar- ily taken while trying to retrieve an item front this position. Cure: For both of these last two items is simple. Just don't do it. There are other places where items can be kept safely.

We now have new laws for motorized snow vehicles, usually known as snowmobiles. All snowmobiles must be registered with Ontario's Ministry of Transportation and Communications. (If previously registered, they must be re -registered.) Registration is free. Also, people who operate snowmobiles off their own property must now have a permit to do so. The fee for the annual permit is $10.00. (The only exceptions are in certain designated areas of remote north- western Ontario.) Actually, complying with the new reg- ulations is easy. You can re -register a previously -registered snowmobile—and obtain your annual permit—at any Ministry of Transportation and Communications license -issuing office in Ontario (where you get your automobile license). • If you buy a new snowmobile, t dealer must register it on your behaJ.f-Within six days of the sale. The number of yoye egistration Cer- tificate must be3ttached to, or painted on, both sides of bur snowmobile's hood in numbers o 3" high, and must contrast with y • r snowmobile's colour to be ea ' seen. Your permit will be affixed to your Registration Certificate and you will be given two adhesive stickers to affix to your snowmobile's hood according to directions. That's all there is to it. Do not drive your snowmobile anywhere (except on your own property) unless it has been registered and you have a permit. Make certain that you know and observe all operating rules and safety regulations' for snowmobiles and be sure to check local by-laws in the municipality where you use your snowmobile.

By KEITH ROULSTON I hate machines. I hate them with a passion. I have hated them since 1 was old enough to spend five hours trying to fix my tricylc when the wheel fell off. Machines, I can state positively, are the reason I developed early in life, a temper tantrum that still plagues me, I am a complete failure when it comes to dealing with machinery. 1 may have earned' a B.A. at journalism, but 1 earn a D.U.D. in machinery every time -something 1 1 hate machines! own breaks down, This is a horrible age to live for a non-mechanical person. l keep wondering if there really is such a thing as re -incarnation and I've come back to a world of machinery to make me pay for some serious misdeeds in my past, life, This is my hell, What brings on all this rage? Well, it's been one of those weeks, or should I say one of those months. Everytime 1 turn around, be it at the office or at home, something more seems to be wrong. Knowing I had about as much knowledge about how to make machines work when they don't want to I early decided the one hope and that was to buy' everything new. That way, I figured, I had at least some peaceful years before I had to worry about fixing things, 1 forgot about two things. First, Mr. and Mrs. Cordon McClinchey celebrate golden anniversary Mr, & Mrs. Gordon McClin- chey celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in the Auburn Community Hall. They were married at the Auburn manse on Nov. 4th 1925 by the Rev. W.R. Alp who is now retired and living in Toronto. Following their honeymoon to Stratford they farmed on the 3rd Concession of East Wawanosh until May 1st, 1971 when they retired to Blyth. The couple has two daughters and five sons. Eileen, Mrs. George Haggitt of Blyth, Jewel, Mrs. Alvin Plunkett of Auburn, Robert, of Grandview Lunch, Blyth. William of Cobble Hill, Vancouver Island, Norman of West Wawanosh, Dave & John of East Wawanosh. They also have 17 grandchildren and 1 great- grandchild. Mrs. McClinchey is the former Lillian Anderson, daughter of the late Mr, & Mrs. Wm. Anderson of Auburn. She has 1 sister and 2 brothers. Dorothy, Mrs. Worthy Fowler of Goderieh, Tom of North Bay and Oliver of Auburn. Mr. McClinchey is the son of the late Mr. & Mrs. John McClinchey of East Wawanosh. He has 3 sisters and 1 brother. Katherine, Mrs. Charlie Robin- son of Wingham, Esther, Mrs. Charlie Potter, Parkhill, lona, Mrs. Charlie Jefferson of Donny- brook and Sydney of R.R.#1, AxiM tY c x��x xrlutt(YAs s mtmm Vex .xY«tmmx t Auburn. A large crowd attended the reception and danced to the music of "The Country Companions". guestswere there from Michigan, Toronto, North Bay, Cobble Hill, B.C. Petawawa, Jordon, Wind- sor, London, Parkhill, Lucknow, Rodney and surrounding areas. They received congratulations and Best Wishes from the Governor General and Madam Leger, Robert Stanfield, Robert E. McKinley, Pierre Trudeau, and also a Scroll from Wm. Davis presented by Murray Gaunt with Good Wishes from both. they don't make things like they used to. That means that two weeks after you buy a car, or some other machine, you're likely to be under it working away trying to make it do what it was supposed to. The second thing I forgot was that time flies, It seems no time at all (well less time than it takes to pay off the blankety•blank thing) before the machine starts to wear out. So as I cuss at the shodiness of modern worksmanship on my "new" photographic processor at the office I slowly realize that I'm suddenly a lot older than I realized and so is the machine, In it's old age it can be expected to be a little run down and crochety. But does it have to be so bad? I mean this one machine has been putting on a temper tantrum for i two weeks now, If I was a mechanical genious I might know what the problem is. Instead, I look it all over, twiddle nobs an_ tura, screws, and silently recite the Lord's Prayer. Now and then 1 let go and give it a good kick, but it still doesn't work any better. Now when my car gives me trouble, at least 1 can take it into a; nearby garage where the problem; may or may not be cleared up but;:, my pocket is sure to be cleaned':::: out, With these specialized machines, even that avenue isn't:;;::+a open to me. When if comes to these babies, everyone else is just as stupid as me, and that's pretty:#. stupid. I've come up with my own IL system of fixing things over the years, one that is a lot like the story of the lady and her hair pin. My method is to take the whole machine apart, or at least that portion that is causing the trouble, carefully remembering what goes where. 1 then put it back together again. Surprising- ly, it works a lot of the time. Just ' as important, it helps me work off 'my feeling' of complete frustration by at least doing something before 1 go off the deep end. • SALES & SERVICE fro e new 1976 snowmob' es Sno-Jet are here OWI M LEAF SMALL ENGINE SALES & SERVICE 24 Princess St. East, Clinton — 482-3722 4911111111111111111111111111111111.111, A dinner catered to by the fl Auburn Womens Institute was held for the immediate family and 5 a few close friends.
