Eighteen steers were stolen by some well-prepared rustlers from the farm of Murray McNichol. it was not the first case of thefts from the McNichol farm. Two weeks earlier thieves took 85 pre-cut two-by-fours, a quantity of nails and all the power tools being used at a new house being built on the McNichol farm. Mr. McNichol checked over the farm about midnight and found everything order but by morning, the cattle were gone. The rustlers used pre -built partitions as a corral to herd the cattle into the truck and used bales of straw from the barn (about 200 in all) to prop up the partitions. Loss in the theft of the,. cattle was estimated at $6,000.7,000. Police at last word had been unsuccessful in capturing the culprits.

The Authority has received requests for 50,000 trees, a substantial increase over the 43,000 planted through last year's program. Development plans have been completed for a new camping area at the Falls Reserve Conservation Arca near Benmil- ler. Some of the work will be done this fall to accommodate 79 additional campsites supplied with water and hydro outlets, MUCA expects that the project will be completed in 1976. Senior Administrative staff and Authority numbers attended the Biennial Tour which was centered this year in the Eastern Ontario Aiithorities region. The tour began at the Metro Toronto Region Conservation Authority and followed a route through Kingston, Cornwall and Ottawa. Authority staff supervised the planting of school yard arboretum at the Turnberry Central School near Wingham, and the Grey Township Central School at Ethel. The elementary school students were introduced to proper mech- anical and hand planting tech- niques as they planted some 200 trees, including 35 different species. These arboretums will serve as study areas for future lessons. The Authority field staff arc presently landscaping around the new picnic pavillion at the Galbraith Conservation Arca. Other projects currently being done include: gabion and clean - work around the weir in Harris - ton, installation of a new bridge at , the Wawanosh Valley Conserv- ation Arca: and general grounds improvements at Falls Reserve. Budget preparations for 1976 are well underway, The major items under consideration are Administrative, Water Manage- ment, Conservation Areas, Con- servation Services and Mainten- ance programs and costs.

However this proved to be a harrendous task and activities are now divided amongst the towns. Cheques are now used to cover dinner in order to better the needs of the family. It was also difficult to get sufficient volunteer help for individual delivery. Last year we tried a new system with mothers coning in to the centres this proved to be more satisfactory as the needs of families are more adequately met this way. Operation of a Christmas Bureau would be impossible without community assistance. The society has always had a good response. We make a direct appeal to churches and service groups but individuals are encouraged to consider a dona- tion as well.

KELLER Reeve Bill Elston of Morris 'Township termed a Fancily Planning and Conception Control program grant of $52,500 for Huron County as "foolishness" at last Friday's regular session of county council. Reeve Elston told council that $52,500 would "go a long way toward operating' a hospital." He was referring to recent rumors that one or two hospitals in Huron County would be closed by the Ontario Ministry of Health in the months to come. The grant has been awarded to the Huron County Board of Health to operate the family planning program which has been so successful in Exeter and Clinton in recent months. Plans now arc to begin a clinic in Winghatn. in other board of health business, it was reported that Huron County's appointees to the Joint Huron -Perth Steering committee, District Health Council, have been named, They are Reeve Ed, Oddlcifson, Bayfield, chairman of the Huron County Board of Health; Mrs. Carl Johnston, Bluevale, representing the consumer point of view; Mrs. Gwen Pamberton, Bayfield, also consumer point of view; Dr. J. K. MacGregor, Wingham, of the Huron County Medical Society; Norman Hayes, Wingham, representing the Huron County Hospital Planning Council; Warden Anson McKinley; Huron County Medical Officer of Health, Dr. G. F. Mills; and Mrs. Jeanne Baker, Clinton; the nursing representative. The first meeting of .the steering committee is planned for early December. County council appiroved a 10 percent increase for the Supervisor of Nurses for the Huron County Health Unit, bringing the salary to $17,100 effective November 1, 1975; and hiring Mrs. Shirley Steepc, audio technician, as a full-time employee affective November 28, 1975. County councillors approved the hiring of an assistant tree commissioner for the south end of thc county, Salary will be $4.50 per hour plus mileage at the current rate - 17 cents to 19 cents per mile, A rural planner is being sought by the planning board. Effective January 1, 1976, planners in Huron County will start at $15,000 and after five years service, reach $20,000 per annum. Under this schedule, the present planner will receive $17,600 effective January 1, 1976, and $18,500 on his anniversary date, August 27, 1976. The library board has ensorscd a recommendation by the county librarian, Bill Partridge, to make application for a Wintario grant for $5,000 for the strengthening of the Canadiana book and non -book collection. This would be for a single grant, not a recurring one. Council gave approval to a property committee request to engage a staff member to work at Huron County Museum on the cataloguing program. An LIP grant for the project was not approved this fall. An application will he made for a Wintario grant to offset the cost. The property committee reported 140 submission in the flag contest, and reported that Mrs. Gladys Stiles, a county employee, was the overall winner taking first, second and third prizes. Fourth place winner was Elizabeth Deichcrt, RR 2, Zurich. Seaforth girl named ecologist of the year A 17 -year-old Seaforth high school student has been named ecologist of the year by the Huron Perth Lung Association. Julie Bell, daughter of Neil and Edna Bell of Goderich St. E. receives a trophy and cheque for $25. Beryl Dunsmorc, executive director of the Christmas Seal Association said Julie was chosen because she had organized ecology programs on her own. Second place went to a student from .Stratford's Northwestern. Julie was nominated for the award by SDHS principal Bruce Shaw and knew nothing about it until a Stratford radio station called to interview her. She started cleaning up litter around thc school, where she is a grade 12 student, inside and out, Now the school has a policy that kids who get detentions are sent out to clean up the school grounds. "Every day they get three garbage cans full, just around the school," she says. A year or so ago Julie was active in a student council program that offered students to clean up senior citizens yards, free. Few senior citizens took Westfield News advantage ot the tree program though, Julie says. She's on the executive of the newly formed Outers Club at the high school. They are offering to help clean up streams, etc, for the ministry of the environment. The club has about 25 members and is led by Seaforth policeman Dave Dale and Phys. Ed. teacher Marianne Weiler, When she finishes grade 13, Julie thinks she would like to take a course in recreation and parks development at Lambton College in Sarnia. It involves a lot of field work and "1 could be outdoors at last," she says. A trip across- Canada sparked her interest in cleaning up the countryside. In Manitoba there were garbage cans everywhere by the side of the road, and very little litter. "I'd like to see that here," she says, Her family is interested in ecology too. "My mother is always picking up things," Julie says, Most kids her age are interested too, the ecologist of the year thinks. Perhaps the grade nine students aren't, but as they get older, they realize it's important, she thinks. Farewell party held BY MRS. CHARLES SMITH Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Brody of Goderich visited on Sunday with Mrs. Audrey Biggerstaff and Bill. , Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Howatt visited on Wednesday evening with Mr. and Mrs. Mansel Cook of Clinton, Mr. and Mrs. Neil T.

We . wish Gay and Peter, Marion and Jack every happiness in their new home near Goderich. Lunch was served and a social hour enjoyed by all. There were nine consolation prize winners whose names were not released at the meeting. Salaries for staff members under the jurisdiction of the property committee received raises and adjustments subject to the approval of the Federal Anti-inflation Review Board. The schedule requics that caretakers and museum staff members start at $9,880 and after two years; receive a salary of $10,?96.

Fairies, Gorrie; Roberta Pullman, Bluevale; Patricia Faber, Exeter; University of Guelph, John E. Deichert, RR 2, Zurich; Rosemary Newnham, Seaforth. Council approved three grants, each worth $9,000, in 1975, 1976 and 1977, for ARC Industries at Dashwood, to aid in repaying their $50,000 mortgage. This facility is operated by South Huron and District Association for the Mentally Retarded. A request for a grant to Huron County Playhouse in the amount of $2,500 was not approved. New policy regarding the appointment of county boards and committees where people other than elected officials were involved, was approved. Advertisements arc to be placed in all county newspapers the first week in December requesting anyone interested in sitting on one of these committees, or as a hospital board representative if any is required, to notify the county clerk. 401.

They're not just dumb hicks Sitting at the Royal Commission meeting on power planning in Wingham on Thursday night, one couldn't help but be pleased with the impression made by the people of this area of Ontario, particularly the strong farm voice present. , The attendance at the hearing was the largest of any session held so far across the province and the briefs presented were so numerous that the chairman finally had to end the meeting and call for a second meeting in January to complete the presentations. The briefs were not only plentiful, they were good. The speakers were articulate and intelligent, not to mention sensible. As one observer said, it's too bad the meeting couldn't be in Toronto so tha tpeople there could see how impressive rural people could be. It would sure scuttle a lot of ideas about dumb hicks from the country. The message should certainly have come through loud and clear to the commissioners too. People have very strong feelings here that Hydro shouldn't build another power plant in this arca and that the rich farmland of this area should be protected from destruction by urban growth. One commissioner at.the meeting commented that these had never been such a unanimous meeting in all their travels so far. The unanimity bordered on ultright hostility to the representatives of Hydro who were present. It was the one moment at the meeting when the feeling of the people seemed about to get a little out of hand. For the rest though, it was an impressive evening. If this is war, all is fair In a day of semi -constant strikes two words have become major portions of the vocabulary: scap and strike -breaking. We've heard the words a lot during the postal strike, The television has picked up the word scab many times hurled at workers who dared to go back to work during the strike. We've heard the government accused at least once a day during the strength of strike -breaking. Well just what is so bad about strike breaking? Hundreds of small businesses have gone broke during the length of the strike. Ask a postal union man about the people who lost their life's work or about the worker thrown out of work and he's likely to say sympathetically, Yes, it's too bad, but we can't do anything about it. This is war you know. You bet it's war and if all is fair for one side, why shouldn't it be fair tor both. Why shouldn't the government or other employer be able to take any action necessary short of violence to keep its operation going during a strike? The rules of the game in recent years have become so structured on the union's side that there is little the employer can do but give in. He may hold out to try to bring the union down a little in its demands but he has the knowledge that even if he can't afford a penny more, he's going to have to pay it, or to stay closed for a good long time. The whole union - management system stinks as it is presently set up. The adversary system should be replaced altogether with something such as the labour court system. Barring this, however, at least the change should be made to give the employer a little more leverage. If it isn't, we can look forward to Canada passing Italy in the list of most labour•striken countries. That's one thing we don't need to be first in. Fools, and CEMA rush in • Fools rush in where angels fear to tread and the people running the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency seem to be the former. That one -cent increase in the price of eggs at a time the price of feed was falling had to be one of the stupidest moves the agency has made in a long time: and that included the rotten egg mess. C.E.M.A. officials were right when they pointed out that prices don't immediately go up when costs go up and therefore why should people expect that prices will immediately go down when costs go down. But while they have a point they also seem to be utterly ignorant of their need for good public relations. How much good did that single one -cent increase do for producers? Would it not have been better spent in winning public support for the agency for not raising prices? At the same time, however, media reaction to the increase has been absurd. This week the London Free Press joined the circle of idiots by suggesting that the increase was a reason for C.E.M.A. be abandoned and the disasterous free flow trade brought back in. Certainly at the present time the consumer is vitally concerned with destroying C.E.M.A. If C.E.M.A. was thrown out within months the price of eggs would plummet and every farmer in Canada went on a binge of production. But soon, many of these would be broke, we'd have a shortage and prices would again be high. The newspapers are downright dishonest in their editorial comments. We've never yet read an editorial calling on C.E.M.A. to clean up its act, to act more responsibly. We've only read a stream of calls for the marketing board to be destroyed because of the mistakes that have been made, That's about like• saying the 1r ree Press should , cease to print because it makes too many typographical errors, C.E.M.A, needs to be cleaned up. It needs new management, new leadership. It is unfair that Ontario farmers be held down at the advantage of other provinces. It is stupid that C.E.M.A. officials don't think more about public reaction to their moves. Yet the fact remains, without stability, we'are always going to hate a food industry to a state of flux with food prices being up this week, down next and farmers; going i and out of production like a yoyo. • r- 1• • ' '15" cone many things wrong, but rather than destroy it, -.vre it fund°, as it can and should. Here we go again BY KEITH ROULSTON The Royal Commission has become one of the "in" jokes of living in Canada. Everytime an ant gets a tooth ache it seems someone suggests we have a Royal Commission to study the problem. And, of course, the commissioners are all well known people (usually friends of the party in power) who make a big salary while they're on the job. From the outside, it seems like a real plum to get on one of these commissions. This thought seems to beborne ouit by the fact that the work of the commission seems to drag on and on and one and on. If a report is expected in January, it will be something of a miracle if it appoars in time for the next Christmas. We had a chance to see close at hand the other night what a Royal Commissioner goes through and somehow it doesn't look for great anymore. In Wingham Thursday night we sat through four hours of detailed briefs presented to the Royal Commission on Hydro Power planning. . We, and the other members of . the press present walked away with a gigantic armful of printed briefs, not to mention pages and pages of our own notes. The thought of having to put all that together into a story brief enough to fit into a week's issue of the newspaper was enough to give a gigantic headache to even the best reporter. But this was only one hearing of the commission. In fact this was only one of the preliminary hearings, not the official formal hearings. Already the commissioners have been on the road for days travelling from one end of Ontario to the other hearing endless briefs and beefs.' Some of these are intetesting and stimulating. Some are stable as last week's bread crusts. But after several hours of hearing voices drone' over the public address system even the good ones- tend 'to hill No thanks, 1 won't serve on Commissions one to sleep. The Coinmissioners, to make sure they have a record of every thing said at the meeting, tape record all spcaches and ques- tions. Imagine the sheer drugery that must be gone through to assemble all these spcaches and briefs into a comprehensive and reasonably succinct report at the end of the hundreds of hours of testimony. And think of the bone -wearying travel involved, never in one place for more than a couple of days, living out of a suitcase at a hotel room, eating every meal in a restaurant. if you ve never been involved in this sot•t of thing, it's hard for you to realize how hard work it is. And, as one reporter a the meeting put it, these commissioners needed to be either single or over 70 because they'd hardly ever get to see their wives. Well, Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Davis, I know both you're just waiting breathlessly to be able to name me to a Royal Commission and 1 thank you very much for thinking of me, but 1 just can't except.

TODAY'S HEALTH Rehabilitation helps the mentally ill to readjust by David Woods Statistics show that one Canadian in eight will at some time or other undergo psychiatric treatment. In most cases such treatment merely means putting back on the right tracks those who may have wandered off them — which is easy . enough to do. For mental illness has its roots mainly in problems of living, and, says Dr., Harvey Brooker, a psychol- ogist at Toronto's Clarke Institute of Psychiatry, "There's a very thin line between coping and not coping with life ... people with psychiatric problems aren't that much different. ' from so-called 'normal' people." ' It's the realization of this in recent times that has led to more humane and practical treatment. Mental illness is no longer talked about in whispers; its sufferers are ;no longer shunted to some quiet ,institutional siding to be left. For instance, patients at the !Clarke Institute, once they have undergone medical treatment for a •specific problem, are actively helped :back into their family, employment and community roles.' • The people who provide this re- habilittition come from a variety of I disciplines: they are psychologists, occupational therapists, social ,iworkers and nurses. For patients vvnose acute depres- ...sion' or anxiety affected work or personal relationships, and caused them to seek help in the first place, it may be difficult to pick up the threads of their former lives when they return to the community. Rehabilitation programs at the Clarke and elsewhere help make the transition easier by conducting workshops in which participants are helped to reassess • their aptitudes and skills. "They are helped not only for work, bui for living," as Dr. Brooker puts it. Brooker gives as examples the typist who is encouraged to increase her speed so that she can apply with confidence for a job; the university student who is shown how to con- centrate better; and the schizo- phrenic who is taught how to relate differently to others. The workshops serve as a launch- ing pad for six months or so of follow-up once the patient isback in the community setting where, help and guidance are continued. The Clarke Institute's rehabilita- tion services looked after some 375 patients last year — actively placing more than 200 of them in new work or learning environments. The Institute works with Canada Manpower and other employment agencies to return mental patients ' to suitable and fulfilling work — to put them back on the tracks as soon as they're ready. And, with ongoing care, it offers help when needed to keep them there. THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 3,,1975. PG, 5. 11% salary increases granted tocounty officials BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Members of Huron County Council on Friday in Godcrich gave approval to an increase in salary for 11 department heads, but it was pointed out by the chairman of the special commit- tee, Warden Anson McKinley who presented the committee report, that these increases will be subject to the approval of the Federal Anti-inflation Review Board if required,. as well as the applicable Provincial Ministry to ensure that the salaries can be fully subsidized.

Evening meetings, often running into the early hours of the following day, are paid at the full day rate. Reeve Derry Boyle of Exeter asked for a recorded vote on the clause in the special committee report. Reeve Boyle questioned how ;'prudent" it was to increase their own salaries at this time. "We have to start to set some examples for our employees and our taxpayers," said Reeve Boyle. "And 1 think senior governments should do the same." "We're setting 00 example at all," rctored Deputy•reevc Frank Cook of Clinton. "We've just granted staff raises of $30, 00. We're only making fools of ourselves if we turn down this clause." The lengthy report of the special committee also contained policy governing council's attend- ance at conventions and provided that no more than eight, council- lors, including the warden and chairman, would be allowed to attend a convention, Members of the particular committee involved would have first choice. The convention attending must be in Ontario and on the county's approved list. Policy involving education leave was also passed. It was stressed that leaves for training and development is encouraged by the county, and that the opportunity is open to all employees, not just supervisory personnel. it was agreed that training required by the county should be at the county's expense. Develop- ment was agreed to be a' mutual affair, and commitments on the part of the 'county as well as the employee is necessary. Up to 10 working days off work for training and development should result in all costs paid by the county. All other periods would be shared in a 50-50 basis. In the case of long term leaves, treasurer Bill Hanly that were .the county would only share in the increases for library personnel cost if, before going away, the were more than 10 percent, they employee formally agrees to were less than $600 annually return to the county and stay in because these employees are the employ fo the county for an part-time. amount of time agreed to prior to increases were granted at his or her departure (five years Huronview, subject to the approv- suggested), al of the 1a4inistry and the "Such an educational approach Anti-inflation Review Board, has • significant implications for BUSINESS MEN 0 ve you ever, consid: ed advertising space ' our local Aren .

Employees re- questing long term education leave should be allowed to apply unused vacation credits toward their share of leave ,and leave should be approved well in advance.

But a good breakfast, they point out, isn't necessarily. a big break- fast. Gone are the days when people had the time and the inclination to wrestle with chops, steaks and kid- neys in the early morning, or to quaff a few jugs of ale with the morning meal as the Elizabethans and the Tudors did. Getting the right nourishment at breakfast has to do with what you eat — not with how much. And a nutritious, enjoyable first meal of the day can be Tight, simple and easy to prepare. The secret is to take on fuel in the morning. Not ballast. A cup of coffee and a piece of toast may leave you with the feeling that you've had breakfast, but they don't contain enough nutrients to see you through to midday. Chances are, if you're like many of us, you'll make up the deficit with mid- morning snacks — cookies, candies, or doughnuts, perhaps — that are high in calories but low in real nourishment. So why not start the day with the foods you need for health and energy. There are plenty of them. And there's no need to have the same thing every day. The idea, nutri- tionists say, is to strike a balance — eating something from the five main categories of food: protein, fruits and vegetables, milk or milk prod-. ucts, bread and cereals. Here are two examples of sim- ple breakfasts that contain these nutrients: unsweetened pineapple chunks, grilled cheese and bacon on a hamburger bun; another one: applesauce, toasted' ham sandwich and milk. These two suggestions i estions conte from � an Ontario Ministry of Health pamphlet entitled Breakfast in n Hurry which also contains a num- ber,,of other tips on preparing the first meal of the day. It is available• from the Health Resource Centre, Communications Branch, Ministry of Health, Hepburn Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario M7A 1S2. Marilyn Winarski, senior cons- tant in nutrition, at the Ministry. emphasizes that breakfast doesn't have to be stereotyped. We always tend to think of it as a bacon and eggs meal. But "with a little imag- ination," she says, "it can be turned into an exciting and nutritious one. Different each morning." So have a good' breakfast! It'll make your day. /TS' SEG/Nle//A/G TO LOOK A LOT L/KF BI y STEWART'S Red & White.: Food Market h, Ont. 523-9451 We D TE FANCY QUALITY DEL MO TOM MAXWELL COFF ALLENS PINE FRUIT D GLAD GARBAGE LOWNEY'S OR MO CHOCOLAT "C" GRADE MAC'S, TO JUICE HOUSE INSTANT APPLES 4 Iver oz. 55c BIG 10 0 .

PG. 7. Xr.44VAN.Y.02W,M, Minister's Study n be / i afraid 1 - - l - pray f=i tihf ff • BY REV. CECIL WITTICH BLYTH UNITED CHURCH Is it possible that we refrain from praying about certain things because we arc afraid of the way in which God might answer our prayer? 1 had that question asked of me not along ago and I believe there is considerable truth in it, There are different ways in which we might be afraid to pray. For example, we may have a broke relationship with someone. As a conscientious person, we know that that is not right. We know that God wants us to be reconciled to one another. But we are hesitant to pray whole-heartcdly about the relationship because we are afraid God might ask us to go to the person and ask for his forgiveness and that is something we cannot picture ourselves doing. With the result: our prayers are not answered, the relationship goes unrestored and our conscience continues to be bothered by it. Another example maybe in terms of our faith. We realize that our faith isn't what it should be. We pray about it but with certain reservations because we are afraid that God might want us to spend more time in prayer, study of the Scriptures and to become more involved in our church as means of nurturing our faith and those are 'things we don't want to have to do. The outcome of such an attitude is that our faith remains weak and our prayers are unanswered. The secret of effective prayer is for a complete willingness on our part for God's will be done and for a willingness to carry out His will. And the amazing thing is that once we become willing to do whatever God requires, our fears fanish and our courage and faith come alive. It is through being willing to follow God's will that we open our lives to the Holy Spirit who enters and enables us to trust and obey God. It is in trust that we commit ourselves to the doing of God's leading and as we do He takes away our fears. "We provide the willingness and He supplies the grace," as someone has said. Jesus promised his followers, "If you ask anything of the Father in my name, He will give it you. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy maybe fully (John 16:23-24) the Net result of early praying is not fear but fullness of joy.

You can enjoy the two volumes of Tolstoy -'s "War and Peace" without ever reading the book, • And you can help your son learn the basics of hockey without freezing to death by rink side at four o'clock in the morning, As any modern public library can tell you, it's all part of the information explosion -that today makes the flick of a switch, the push of a button and the plugging in of a jack as much a part of library work in the twentieth century as stretching papyrus may have been many years ago. At the headquarters of the Midwestern Regional Library System, Kitchener, for exatnple, more than $20,000 is spent annually on 16 mm films that are previewed, purchased and dis- tributed to participating libraries in the Region of Waterloo, and in Perth, Huron and Wellington Counties. Established in 1968 to coord- inate public library services in this area, Midwestern selects -the films from catalogues provided by the National Film Board, Intern- ational Telefilm Enterprises, the British Broadcasting Corporation, Educational Media Inc., and many other national and intern- ational outlets. "We work with a committee of staff from several libraries to select an average of three full-length 16 mm'films - or film series - a month'," said Peter Kienitz, Midwestern's coordin- ator of audio-visual services. Recent acquisitions, for exam- ple, include the films: "How to Say 'No' to a Rapist and Survive"; the "Howie Meeker Hockey Series"; "Birth Control: Five Effective Methods": and a Wile range of other titles. Several libraries such as Stratford Public Library and the Huron County Library System offer popular courses to patrons on the proper care and handling of films, equipment maintenance, film cleaning and loading and other techniques. Emphatically, however, Mid- western isn't interested in putting the book business out ofbusiness. "Books will always be the pivot of any library service," said Peter Kienitz, "or certainly in the foreseeable future. But libraries need to keep pace with all aspects of gathering and .providing information - and films are one Bro.

Caldwell and Harry Tebbutt. i "We began with about 70 titles," said- Peter Kienitz, "but demand has been so great that we've placed a standing order with CNIB to buy every new book they produce." in fact Midwestern is also looking for other outlets to keep pace with demand, Some tapes, for example, are being purchased from The Cassette Book Shop, Elmira. As well, Midwestern recently purchased duplicating equipment that will be used to reproduce copies of the more popular works on demand. Talking Books arc distributed to libraries, with Mtdwestern acting as a clearing house for repairs, interlibrary transport- ation of tapes and new acquis- itions. Each costing about $12, Talk- ing Books are available free in most libraries on provision of a doctor's certificate stating that a borrower is unable to read regular works for whatever reason; borrowing time is anywhere up to three months. Midwestern has also purchased several playback units for the books which are also 'distributed to libraries. Reference work - or Inform- ation Services as it is commonly called in todays library parlance - also benefits from audio-visual material Today there are over 200 special video tapes available to patrons in Waterloo and Kitch- ener public libraries that can be viewed on playback units in study carrels for reference work. Purchased by Midwestern from the Ontario Educational Com- munications Authority, the video tapes cover many subjects - travclogues, home repair, Indian legends and folklore, and the education of handicapped child- ren as well as several tapes in the lib German language which are of particular relevance for this area. Designed to give patrons another information dimension to use when needed, the program was introduced ;on a trial basis ,last summer and, if successful, will expand to other libraries. Midwestern again is respon- sible for watching out for available material, purchasing it where necessary, monitoring tape damage, cleaning and replace- ment. Video tape programming doesn't stop there, however. Midwestern recently acquired the excellent "Youth in Trouble" series from the Public Television Library, 'Washington, D.C., that it is making available to libraries on a trial basis to show to local patrons, The series is also being promoted through schools, the invitation from Tiger Dunlop W.I. on Wednesday, 'November 26, Mr. Bill Clifford real estate broker, Godcrich was guest speaker, Mr. Tom Allen and Mr. Don Plant of this arca returned home on Saturday from moose hunting at Hurst with friends past week.

"Series like this can be very valuable as part of a library's way of initiating rather than providing information," said Peter Kienitz, "and if it goes well we'll consider other series on different topics." 'l'he need to encourage libraries to stake use of video tape equipment for in-house pro - grants, promotion and other work, is also part of Midwestern's mandate. A new video camera, as well as the playback units, have been purchased as part of Midwest- ern's determination to help libraries make their own video tape programs and become increasingly familiar with this aspect of audio-visual work.

PG. 13. Commission hearslcomplaints against proposed power plant Lorne Luther presented a brief for the National Farmers Union, District 5, Region 3 Mr. Luther called on the commission to reverse the situation in which Ontario Hydro had in the situation in which Ontario Hydro had in the past "pursued development plans without con- sulting the public at large, and with a very narrow view of consequences to the human being, the environment or the financial cost," Dr. A. L. MacKay of the Listowel Veterinary Clinic pre- sented a brief on behalf of the six doctors at the clinic. He pointed out that the eight counties of Perth, Huron, Bruce, Wellington, Waterloo, Lambton, Middlesex and Oxford would be affected by the proposal power plant south of Godcrich and transmission Tines from it and the Bruce plant. The arca, accounting for two per cent or the Ontario's land arca, provided 35 per cent of Ontario's milk production, SO per cent of the market cattle, 62,7 per cent of market hogs. Within a 30 -stile radius of Listowel there were 54 practicing veterinarians in their entire province, he pointed out. "I would like -to challenge this commission to find a suitable alternative in supplying our energy needs without the disrup- tion and total destruction of our irrcplacablc Agriculture Land" he said. The Bruce -Huron Powcrlinc Negotiating committee brief pre- sented by Dave McCallum, RR 1, Wingham made six recommenda- tions, Among these were: location of generating stations closer to arca of greatest need; vast programmes like the create much larger impact on society than those which are smaller; some lands in Ontario have the potential to produce much more than others, it is the potential that must be protected. "We give a prayer for our children, their children and their children's children. May they always have food on their tables as we have had in generations past. Waste Not, Want not," he concluded. Elbert Van Donkersgoed, TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO j7.�1�1 SYNDICATE The minute you meet Jim he's your friend. He likes everybody and everybody likes him. This handsome II -year-old is Anglo-Saxon in descent and has dark eyes, brown hair and fair skin. He is in good health. He was treated over a year for a punctured eardrum but doctors say he is functioning normally. Though Jim is average in intelligence he has had some dif- ficulties in school, especially in reading. He is in grade five. Being a sports -minded boy, he plays hockey and baseball and enjoys camping, swimming and hiking. He is an enthusiastic Scout and stamp collector. His ambition is to be a fireman. Jim appears to be an easy-going, happy-go-lucky lad but underneath his self-confident manner is a great need for security and acceptance. He needs a family to belong to. To inquire about adopting Jim, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2112. In your letter please tell something of your present family and your way of life. For general adoption information, consult your local Children's Aid Society. c,,,, /1) t OUR MAIL ORDER SERVICE �• AS CLOSE AS YO'►•,.% ' TELEPij0 Phone 482.9511 1 Executive Director of the Chris- tian Farmer's Federation of Ontario said his organizations intended to challenge Ontario Hydro's plans since "they arc based on growth economics - a philosophy that still lingers from the days when we all believed that resources were limitless," The brief claimed that Hydro's public participation program to date has been designed, not really for public participation but as a tool by which it hoped to argue to the Ontario government that it had prepared its proposals with the assistance of the general public, The brief argued that Ontario Hydro should not be chairing these meeting itself since this allowed it to slant discussion in the direction it wanted and if not. that the public at least received this impression. H.e said that Ontario Hydro will not only use a lot of land in Ontario for its sites and transmis- sion lines but will also indirectly plan the use of much land around these facilities. He said that in the past Ontario Hydro had been quite ignorant of the true value of food land. Ontario Hydro, Mr. van Donkcrsgoed said, has grossly underestimated the relative im- portance of agriculture. On the Bradley Junction to Georgetown environmental report, he said, on a scale of 4- agriculture rated 2.83, ranked just above visual unnact at 2.81. 'He said the report , was totally inadequate and decisions based on its. findings can only be seen as arbitrary. Chairman McKaguc cut off presentation of briefs at 11:45 in order to allow discussion by the public. The first comment was from Tony McQuail of Lucknow who's comment was nearly as long as a brief (in fact Dr. Stephenson asked him to prepare the material as a briefto be presented later at formal hear ings. Mr, MacQuail argued that Ontario Hydro has been seeking short-term solutions that have long-term consequences when they should be seeking long-term solutions with short-term conse- quences, He wondered if it didn't take more energy to build nuclear generating stations than they produced in return. He wondered about the effect of hotwater effluent on the weather of the arca. He wondered about the future marketability of products grown too close to a nuclear station, Eric Moore from Huron county wondered since everybody at the meeting seemed to be against Hydro expansion, where were the people who wanted expansion. One tense moment came when a questioner asked that all Ontario Hydro officials present stand and identify themselves, One spokesman for Hydro said since his men were only gathering information for their presentation later in the hearings they did not feel they should indentify them- selves. This did not meet approval with the rest of the audience. Mr. McKague won a compromise by having the half- dozen Hydro observers stand but not identify themselves.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 3, 1975. More co-operation needed between rural and municipalities restructuring committee hears Continued from Page 1 item discussed, with the towns on one side of the fence and the rural townships on the other. "The towns are supplying the townships with recreation but are getting no help with their operating expenses," Clinton Deputy Reeve Frank Cook said, Hullett Township Reeve John Jewitt said his township was willing to help the towns with recreation costs, if they had some say. "Are the towns prepared to give up some authority to run the recreation if it went county wide?" Mr. Jewitt asked. Bill Howson of Blyth argued that his village had three townships represented on the Blyth recreation board, and even though 50 per cent of those using the Blyth facilities wet e from the townships, they were only supplying 10 per cent of the revenues. Goderich Township Reeve Gerry Ginn admitted his township didn't pay their fair share of recreation costs, and also wanted more say on the rec boards. "it's (recreation) a two way street," Mr. Ginn said, noting that the townships have many outdoor recreation facilities that are not available in the towns, such as golfing and snowmobiling. "It can be worked out," Mr. Ginn said, "The people are happy with the fire area boards and the garbage disposal boards," Mr, Ginn said that progress will be made in sharing recreation costs" as long as we are talking to each other." Bill Morley of Usborne Township echoed Mr. Ginn's thoughts, saying "we're all brothers. We can set up a pretty workable system if we want. The townships should pay a share of what they use." Exeter Recreation director Jim McKin• lay argued the meeting had its priorities turned around, "It's people first and then finances. The people have to get together and talk about the real essence of co•operation." Warden McKinley said the county is doing its own recreation study now because an earlier study by Exeter and Godcrich contained some "distorted figures." Roads and police were also discussed briefly as being two other areas the county could increase services in, but Warden McKinley said no good report was available on restructuring the police in Huron. "We're more parochial than practical on this matter," Warden Mckinley said, noting that in Western Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police did most of the policing, County roads engineer Jim Britncll said that if people in Huron want better roads, they will have to pay for then, "We can't afford to maintain county roads in the same state as the King's urban Highways as there costs are eight to 10 times higher per mile than ours," Mr, Britncll said, Clinton Reeve Harold Lobb said that because Huron has a small population," per capita wise we're paying too much," for services. Warden McKinley said it was a matter of getting the provincial government to change their priorities. "We've got to get away from the idea that a given tax is tied to a given service," Warden McKinley said, Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson wondered what the county could do about the rumored closing of two or three hospitals in Huron County. Huron presently contributes $30 million towards the Ontario Health budget. No plans were announced at the meeting for any more public discussions on restructuring.

It regulates hor- tor of the Canadian Hepatic Foun- mones and stores essential vitamins. It purifies blood flowing through it or the way to the heart. And it de- toxifies certain drugs and chemicals before they start circulating through the body. It's hardly surprising, then, that when something goes wrong with the liver, other parts of the body — kidneys, heart, lungs or brain, for example — may suffer, too, However, much liver disease is entirely preventable. The liver's chief enemy is alcohol, and alco- holic liver disease is the main cause of sudden, natural death in the 25 to 39 age group in Canada, and the fifth most common cause' of all deaths. Alcohol, like other chemicals, is after venereal disease, mumps and processed in the liver. But too much chickenpox is the fourth most com- of it causes the liver to become mon reportable disease — with fatty, then swollen and scarred, and 10,000 cases reported each year in eventually to degenerate to the Canada. The disease is extremely point where it can no longer do infectious, and can be spread by dation, considers that six ounces a day, on a regular basis, is cause enough for concern. Dr, Fisher urges anyone who consumes more than that amount to ask for a test of liver function during a general medical check-up. The reason, he says, is that the early stages of alcoholic liver dis- ease can be diagnosed and cor- rected. But cirrhosis is irreversible. Fisher points out that 90 per cent of the people with alcoholic liver disease are not skid row drunks, but otherwise responsible people holding down regular jobs. The other principal affliction of the liver is viral hepatitis, which, cuts or abrasions in the skin, trans- mitting blood to others through kissing, sex, sharing toothbrushes, or by "needle sharing" among drug addicts. Viral hepatitis, too, is therefore largely preventable by sensible hygiene. You only have one liver. Look after it, and it will look after you. In the days when Britannia ruled the waves she was undoubtedly helped by the fact that her sailors, in their voyages to the far-flung outposts of the Empire, had dis- covered how to ward off scurvy. This unpleasant disease, charac- terized by weakness, anemia and spongy gums, is caused by a defi- ciency of vitamin C. In the days 1* before refrigeration, mariners were particularly susceptible to it because they lived for months at a time on salted meat and no vegetables or fruit. It became known as sea scurvy. And so the British sailors, need- ing all their strength to colonize the world, loaded their ships with the humble but durable lime. (And that, incidentaP ', is how they and their compatriots on land became to be known as Limeys.) Not that the lime is the only source of vitamin C; other citrus fruits like lemons and oranges con- tain considerable amounts; and it's also found in varying degrees in most other fruits and vegetables. Interestingly enough, human be- ings are among the few creatures whose bodies don't manufacture their own vitamin C — so we have . to get the vitamin, also known as ascorbic acid, from our diet. Dr. T. W. Anderson, a researcher at the University of Toronto and author of several articles on vitamin C, says that the amount of it you need to avoid getting scurvy is about 10 mg a day. When you consider that a glass of orange juice contains about 40 mg, it's easy to sec why the disease is pretty rare today. Although Anderson recommenas an intake of around 100 mg a day, the accepted Canadian Dietary Standard is a minimum of 30 mg a day to maintain the body's store of vitamin C; he further suggests that this is better taken in dietary form than by tablets, although he notes that overcooking can quickly des- troy the ascorbic acid content iv vegetables.
