VIP 50 McKinnon warns of possible milk shortage if farmers cut Huron county indusaial milk producers are still upset at the cutback of the govern ..:nt subsidy but after listening to a cool, reasoned approach to the subject by Ken McKinnon, representative to the Ontario Milk Marketing Board for Huron and Bruce the sting may ' have been reduced a little. Mr. McKinnon was speaking last Thursday night at a meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture held in the Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton. About 50 persons attended the meeting, most f'f them milk producers. The turnout was lower than e$pected from the reaction of milk producers earlier to the 50 per cent cut in federal government subsidy. Mr, McKinnon explained in a lengthy speech that the government could 'not be accused of breaking any agreement on subsidy for his cutback, bu the said the government was guilty of breaking agreement to consult with the Dairy Farmers of Canada and the provincial marketing boards on changes in import regulations, The government moved unilaterally, he said, to increase the export of dairy products. "We're not saying that we shouldn't import more," Mr, McKinnon said, "what we are saying is that we should sit down and discuss long-term effects. What about unemployment due to the closure of cheese factories?" He said he felt if Canada was going t import more dairy products it should be butter, not cheese. Cheese imports have been increasing in recent years he said, mostly from European Economic Common Market countries which in return limit imports of Canadian cheese. When the market sharing quota system was set up, he said, imports and exports were about even. Last year imports of cheese outnumbered exports 25.1. Mr, McKinnon explained that the government cutback on subsidy is a reaction to the fact that Canada is over producing industrial milk at a time when the international powdered milk is depressed. The government has made a commitment to pay subsidy on that portion of milk needed to meet Canadian market requirements. Mr. McKinnon said there were several conditions he felt were short term which led to the overproduction. It was a back near -perfect year across Canada tor milk production this year, Pasture was good all summer long and hay quality was good. Fluid milk sales dropped by 1.1 per cent in Ontario and by more than that across the country meaning milk usually destined for the table went into industrial purposes. Export sales of dairy cattle dropped by as much as 60 per cent in the past year (he said he understood exports have picked up later in the year). Because of the depressed beef market, he said, many dairy men probably kept cows over the summer that they would normally have shipped to market. Major cheese companies decreased their inventories by about 25 per cent, he said and this volume has had to go into other areas of production. Mr. McKinnon said he was afraid milk producers would over react to the present situation and cutback production too much. He said he thought the market would straighten itself out. Part of the problem maybe, he said, that there is to much quota in the system. Because most producers keep under their quota to prevent penalties for overproduc- tion there is more quotas alotted than the market requires. For instance although the national requirement is for $350 million pounds there are $425 million pounds of quota. He said that despite ` the subsidy cutback, the O.M.M,B. will continued to allocate quota for the rest of the dairy year until March 31. He said the board could be criticized for this action but it had made the committment to encourage people to enter the business and it would keep that committment. He felt there was a good chance that all producers would be able to match their production in the coming year but that if quota cu!backs were necessary they would be across the board cutbacks, with a percentage off every producer. He said he thought there was little need for an increase in fluid milk prices in the coming year, certainly in the early months, but that an industrial milk hike was likely, He saw he could foresee industrial and fluid milk prices being closer. He said he felt federal Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan could not be blamed for the subsidy cutback, that he had tried and been turned down. He said he felt farmers needed to show their support for Mr. Whelan so he has more power in his fights with the cabinet.

That line from an old nursery rhyme or something seemed to be the theme when the Thomson clan held a family reunion at the old homestead, on a beautiful day in October. There was a lot of kissing and hugging (we're an emotional family.) I was bussed and squeezed by a lot of middle-aged ladies and made up for it by heartily bussing and squeezing a number of extremely bussablc and squeczeable nieces and daughters of nephews and var- ious other attractive young hussies drifting about. Most people have been sucked in, at one time or another, to a family reunion. It can be a ghastly experience, or a joyful one. This one fell into the latter category. There was no mourning for the dead, only a great sense of being alive, and the pleasure of knowing that all these people, of all shapes and ages, were blood kin, all spring from --,the fertile loins of one Walter Thomson, an Irishnian of Scottish extraction, away back there in the 19th century. Walter was prolific, and his Wick were no slouches either, One 7 NW, Mountain Jack Thom - „mora sometime scourge of the Ottawa Valley during the great lumbering days, had about 10 children by his first wife, and when slut i..tuarried her sister arid. altother Targe f11iiily.• • Another, William, after whom I was named, sired 10 children. And there was the last of them, my uncle Ivan, 84, dancing around like a 30 -year-old, wet• coming all of us with something close to tear --'f jo” in. his eyes. He's as , • always, slim as fuo eyes sparkling, wn oubbling, striding about as though he'd never heard nt' arthritis. A than of many tali . a conservationist who pla; ees lovingly, a traveler whu sext letter might be from New *1W, an artist in working with wood, a deep lover of nature and iople, and a concerned and loving patriach of the clan. It is my casual boast, and my brothers' and sisters' grudging concession, that 1 "take after him." 1 wish 1 did. He remarried at 80 and has a three-year-old Cousins by the dozens at family reunion grandson. Figure that one out. No way can I match that. He showed me the room in the old brick ttomestead, a fine house on a steep bluff overlooking the Ottawa River, the bedrooms in which my grandmother bore the 10 children. No wonder she died at an age when most modern women are just getting their second wind, or their second husband, He showed me a picture of his family at the dining table. At the brad, my grandfather, white hair and huge curly beard. On one side, four strapping sons. On the other side, three daughters and two little sons, and an empty place set for Emerson, a maverick who was in the Klondyke when the photo was taken. How would you like to try to feed a mob like that in these days? You'd be bankrupt in a week. Another picture showed my Uncle Ivan as the sole surviving member of the Shawville Ponti- acs, taken in the days when hockey was deadly serious but played for fun, and Shawville used to journey by sleigh to take on the stalwarts of Renfrew and Pembroke. Perhaps sadly, there was no living to be made for huge families on the barren land of Calumet Island, and the tribe dispersed, some of the boys joining t1.e great exodus to The West, the El Dorado of those clays. They were honest, hard- working, good-looking, gregari- ous people. But it wasn't enough. They established themselves and worked like slaves to build something. Then came the Depression. And they suffered. Boy, how they suffered. All of Canada took it in the neck, but the prairie farmers took it in the neck and in the guts and in various other parts of the anatomy. Most of my uncles went through The Great War. Many of their sons went through World War 11, Some didn't come back. Things picked up. Some of them even made a decent living before they died. Their children are moderately well off, middle- class people with warm hearts and no pretensions. But they're fiercely proud of being Thomsons.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 10, 1975 Beryl's the cheap -shot champ The more power the more vice-chairman of the prices and income 'ommission gets, the more it seems to go to her head, She seems to see of easy solution to the whole inflation business: bankrupt Canadian 'ood producers. She'd deny that of course, but the fact is that the only constant thing ,he and her members of the former members of the Food Prices teview Board and her new buddies in the prices and incomes •ommission have said is that marketing boards are wrong. Time and igain she has attacked any system of orderly marketing farmers have rigid to make. When the price of eggs dropped last week by one cent she jumped in ,aying the should be lower than that. And just wait until we get out our 'eport on the milk industry, she said, hinting dire things to milk producers. In fact the words "marketing board" seems to be like a red flag in front of a bull to Mrs. Plumptre.,Once she sees them, she is blinded to everything else. Supposing the price of eggs was too high. The average family probably uses about a dozen eggs a year. If the price was a cent a dozen too high, that would mean 50 cents a year. If even five cents, it would mean $2.50 a Year. Hardly much in this day and age. Perhaps she is right that some farmers are making more than their cost of production, perhaps not. But what about the other aspects of the food chain? Whenever Mrs. Plumptre looks at the processor or the retailer she comes out convinced that they're all honest, practically bankrupt people. Yet she never seems to sec anything strange about the fact the price of beef is staying relatively near its record highs of a couple of years ago even though farmers are now losing money on every pound of beef they produce. It seems strange that if farmers are the one's who are making the big bucks in the food chain as Mrs. Plumtre seems to think, that more and more farmers are leaving the land and taking jobs in the towns and cities. Probably most farmers would gladly exchange their annual income for that of a lowly checkout person in a city supermarket, who in the latest demand, wanted $16,000 a year. Yet it is somehow the farmers who are to blame for the cost of food. Come on Mrs. Plumptre it's time you resigned, unless you can show a little honesty. You are simply trying to make yourself look good by picking on the weakest link in the food production chain. Pick on the processors and they're going to jump on you, hard. The sante with the retailer, particularly the big supermarket chains. So pick on the farmer. You can't yell to much and even if he docs none of your darling city consumers will hear. They never listen to the farmer anyway. The only time they know he exists is when they blame hint for the high cost oI• food. Miller is irresponsible Frank Miller. Ontario Health Minister has been acting in a totally irresponsible manner in regard to the closing of hospitals in the province. The Minister announced recently that he would close 24 hospitals across the province in a move to cut costs. That cost must be cut in the health field is undeniable. With the possible exception of education. health is the most expensive and most wasteful portion of the provincial budget. Something has to be done to halt the soaring costs. One can argue that cutting out some hospitals will improve the situation but one cannot argue that the latest moves by Mr. Miller are the way to do things. Of the 24 hospitals he has promised to close. Mr. Miller has so far announced the closure of only one, Chesley. So the people of the province are left to feel like someone living under the apartment of a centipede: one shoe has fallen and the other 23 are still to come. The move has brought all kinds of uncertainty to nearly every small hospital in the province. Will we be the next to go, each asks. low can a hospital be expected to function well under such conditions? How cap, it hope to attract proper staff if these people have to worry, they may have no job in a few months time? How can it keep the staff it now has under the circumstances? Having started down the path of hospital trimming, rightly or wrongly, the least Mr. Miller can do is end the suspence and give us all the names. Probably he's afraid of the uproar that would deluge on himself and his fragile government from 24 different communities, but he owes the people who run Ontario's hospitals at least that much. The Perils of applause In the entertainment industry -- and in politics, too -- careers are made and broken by applause and by lack of applause. We are often manipula,. d into offering applause, and sometimes our applause is measured•by machines. Persons in groups can be led to applaud things at which very few of them as individuals would even clap one hand.: We readily applaud things which do not deserve our applause -- probably because we fell that willingness to applaud indiscriminately is a sign of tolerance and broadmindness. Canned applause, along with canned laughter, is often dubbed onto the sound -tracks of filmed television programs and used as background support on radio shows. We sit in our easy chairs and let ourselves be beguiled by articial applause into accepting what we really know to be utter tripe as the fine flower of human creativity. How else can you account for the phenomenal success of some television shows? We often show amusement and offer applause because we do not wish to be judged odd and puritanical and narrowminded. But broadmindness can have its own subversively built-in narrowminded• ness. Artisitic integrity is not necessarily authenticated by four-letter words, bared female bosoms and explicit sex, Today we are being subtly forced into conformities of responce and attitude without our being fully aware of the extent to which we are being manipulated, Applause can be contagious •• and therein is its peril. Human nature, fortunately, has in it a strain of sheer cussedness, and this keeps society from becoming thoroughly homogenized in taste and judgment. But how many of us, really, bring individual judgment to bear on entertainments on politics •• on anything which a group, for its own selfish purposes, tries to manipulate us into applauding? -Contributed Puss 'n' basket BY KEITH ROULSTON ,ti, hether it be a television star, a big time hockey or football player or maybe a famous writer, or politician it's always a bit of a thrill to be able to say you know a celebrity. 1 realized on the weekend that 1 cnew a celebrity, but 1 can't say it vas much of a thrill.

PG. 5 Upstairs, Downstairs provides rare television on treat BY VONNIE LEE In these days, when television series seem to be classified tripe and trash 'rather than treasure, England has bestowed on us a gem of a show which is probably going to be the most popular series of many years. We are five years behind the British but at last, we arc enjoying "Upstairs, Downstairs", one of the most popular series ever seen around the world. Jean Marsh and a friend, Eileen Atkins, were concentrating on separate acting careers when the concept of the show took form in their minds. Jean had grown up in a Cockney home in North London, Her mother was a maid for a well-to-do English family and .lean remembers her mother rising at six every morning to earn a living during the war years, ,lean herself, at the early age of live, terrified from war bombings and fears of separat- tions, developed a mental paraly- sis which sent her into shock and made her unable to walk. She was sent to ballet school which began the cure and eventually led to an acting career. Eileen, also a Cockney girl, had also grown up in a home where servitude was a way of life, her father serving as an under -butler. Together, they came up with the idea of "Upstairs, Downstairs", a series in which the upstairs cream of society Icarus to live with the do vnstairs life of servitude, but also a series in which the servants are treated like human beings, not slaves. 'i'he setting is a turn -of -the - century home in fashionable Belgravia, London, in Edwardian times. Class distinction, which formed such a large part of British sojcty, is most evident, but these are servants with a difference. They do not grave they are not 'put out' like the c. when friends come to call. The are proud to work for a family lik the Bcllamys and in turn, th l3ellantvs are proud of them. Jean Marsh went on to portra a role in the series, that of Ros the parlormaid. Atkins was also t have a role but she had tr o man stage commitments and turned i down. Richard Bellamy, th master of the house and minister in the British govern meat, is played by Davi Langton; his wife. Lady Marjorie, is Rachel Gurney; son Janies, a lieutenant in the Life Guards, is played by Simon Williams; and daughter Elizabeth is Nicola Pagett. in addition to Rose, the downstairs cast is Gordon Jack- son as Hudson the butler; Angela l3addcley as Mrs. Bridges the cook; Pauline Collins, Evin Crowley, Patsy Smart and Maggie Wells as the other maids; Brian Osborne as Pearce the coachman; George Innes and Christopher Beeny as the foot- men. All major cast members are experienced performers, Miss Baddeley as a stage character actress, film actress and televi- sion performer. Gordon Jackson was b. rn in Glasgow but has playcd .in several British televi- sion shows\and movies. He is best known to us for his roles in "Tunes of Glory" and "The Prime of Miss Jcan Brodie" where he played the school teacher who wooed Maggie Smith, Marsh herself has played Shakespearean drama, comedy and films, besides work in television series and specials. She had featured roles in "The Roman Spring of Mrs. Stone" with Vivien Leigh; La Dolce Vita" Alfred Hitchcock's "Frenzy" and "Cleopatra" in which she playcd Octavia opposite Richard Burton, For her role in U -D, she had' to again go back to the familiar Cockney accent which she had tried so hard to lose (and succeeded) for her stage and film work. in 1972, Marsh was named Britain's best female television personality of the year for her role in her created series, In 1974 and 1975, the series won Emmy awards as outstanding dramatic series. In 1974, Jackson was named actor of the year for his performance as Hudson; and in 1975, Marsh was named out- standing lead actress in a dramatic series and one of its directors, Bill Bain, was named best director of a drama in a series, The latter two won Emmy Awards in the U.S, CBC, this season and next (1976-77), will present the entire series, a total of 63 episodes. This year, it is bei 'g shown Wednes- days at ten o'clock, We arc only I could do without him Continued from Pane 4 children whose parents seemed to think it was cute to have them decorate the halls with crayons. The kids had little to (10 but play on the elevators which meant there never seemed to be one available when you needed it. There was no outside door lock so drunks could wander in during the. night and sleep in the hall or pound on the door and demand admission as they did at our apartment leaving us wandering just what we'd gotten into. Not all the blank should go to Mr. Wynn though. Everyone needs a honk and without Mr. Wynn, many of these families wouldn't have one, But if the place was a rat -hole, it was because many of the people living there didn't care enough not to keep it better. If the landlord had tried to repair everything people brake, keep the halls painted etc. the rent would have had to be at least double to pay the bills, Mr. Wynn had a cute little pile, though. In those days every tenant had to put down a deposit of one month's rent, This was to be returned at the ne do of the lease if the apartment was left in good shape. Mr. Wynn fomr what i've heard, didn't return many deposits, He certain- ly didn't return ours. We left at the end of the school terns and wanted to sublet. Mr. Wynn told us it would cost $150 to sublet. If we paid the $150 he would then rebate us the $150 deposit. We had heard about his reputation by this time howevbcr and weren't about to send good money after bad, So when the departure day cane, we simply handed the key to the superinten- dent and left. never saw Mr, Wynn again until the article in the magazine but I've heard lots about hint.- As his empire grows, so does his reputation. 1 won't be sorry if never meet this celebrity again.

Cattle Tice may be a problem Lice may be more of a problem this fall and winter. Warm weather contributes to reproduc- tion and lice infestations niav have built up. Systemic Insecticides for war- ble control gives only temporary col' rol of lice. Inspect your cattle for lice every two weeks between mid December and March. Look for lice by parting the hair over the tail head, along the back, between the shoulders and around the neck and cars. Cattle heavily infested with lice sho'ild be %prayed or dusted to eliminate the pest. 'i'he use of back rubbers should prevent further buildup. Precautions should be taken: (1) Use only recommended materials and follow directions closely.• (2) Wear protective clothing, gloves and a respirator if in a closed area. Recommended materials such as Sevin, Ciodrin, Lindane and Malathion sprays and Sevin, Ciodrin, Malathon and Rotenone dusts arc available at your local feed dealers and farm supply centres. Good louse control will result in better gains and lower feed conversion. Mission Band members are requested to bring their mite boxes to the Christmas meeting on Sunday, December 14.

EVERY WELCOME Silver Collection M 1 Santa Claus or God BY REV. CECIL WITTICH BLYTII UNITED CHURCH Two little boys were discussing Santa Claus and God. The one said, "Santa is better than god". The other asked, "Why do you say that?" "Because Santa gives us presents," he answered. The other little fellow, not satisfied wills the answer, said. "God gives us air and rain and sunshine. He gives us food to eat and clothes to wear. lie gives us everything we need. In fact, if it weren't for God, there would be no Santa Claus." That little boy displayed the kind of insight we ought to take to heart. The Apostle Paul once asked, "What have you that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if it were not a gift." (1 Corinthians 4:7).

Essen- tially the speech promised breaks on residential mortgage rates, a rent supplement programme re- troactive to April ,1, for senior citizens, assistance to municipali- ties to establish industrial parks, as well as a program retroactive to July 30, 1975 to protect tenants against unjustified rent increases W.M.S. celebrates Christmas The W,M,S, held their meeting on Monday, December 2 at the home of Mrs. Mac Scott.

The Government introduced and subsequently passed legislation to make mandatory the wearing of automobile seat belts as of January 1.

"Aw, c'.mon you guys. Give them back, What would people say if 1 went down the hall like this?" This achieved no success, so he told his plight to his teacher. The teacher detained the class and informed them that no one would be dismissed until the jeans were found. A dead silence fell over the room. Everyone looked at each other, but no one made a move, The final bell sounded. A look of terror crept into the eyes, and everyone whispered that they were going to be late. The teacher, not anxious to have a hysterical mob on his hands dismissed them. The teacher and the pantless student made a thorough search of the locker room. Finally, in the last, empty locker in the bottom row, there they were. The student yanked them on, grabbed up his books and tore off to the next class, only to find he was already late. Discovering this, he slowly started down to the office for a late slip, his third one that day. CAVEAT EMPTOR CHILD SAFETY CONCERNING CRIBS Are you concerned about how safe your baby is? Well if you are, show it by buying the proper safe equipment and toys which your' child uses. For instance, when you buy a crib you should make sure the slats, splindles, or rails are no more than 3 1/8 inches apart, in order to prevent your child's head from getting stuck between the slats. ' Some lighter fold -up models aren't sturdy enough,to withstand too much rocking by the child. If too much vibration occurs, the crib lets go and folds up on thc child. The heaver, non -foldable ones are safer by far. Mattress size and thickness are also important factors to consider, before purchasing a crib. If the mattress isn't quite large enough, the child's limbs could get stuck between the mattress and the crib wall, or the child's head could easily get stuck or buried between the two. Also, if the mattress is up too high, the child could stand up and fall out. You should also inspect the drop sides of a crib and see how 1 they are held up. Some cribs have cheap locks and the child can easily unfasten the locks and fall: out. To prevent this from happening, the crib you buy should be equipped with a locking mechanism that requires two separate and simultaneous actions in order to release the drop -side of the crib. Faulty, poorly constructed cribs are just an example of the many faults in baby furniture. So before you buy a crib, think of your baby's safety. Diane MacDonald 1ID YOU NEVER MISS A PERSON UNTIL At the first meeting of the School Page Club last week, after exams, it was discovered that a very important member of the club was missing -- 'our Editor, Joan Leishman. We never realized just how much work Joan had to do every week, until we, ourselves had to do it. We all hope that very soon Joan will be back as our Chief Organizer, Critic, Joe -Jobber and Editor. You never appreciate a person and what she docs until she isn't there to do it! GUEST EDITORIAL Did you know that two opposing forces, those seeking minimum energy or maximum randomness, are found in all chemical processes? No? Neither did I --until this startling fact was told to me in Chemistry. It's all part of this particular stage in my life --I'm being "educated." That's why people attend high schools, colleges and universities. We're all trying to get an education. Yet each one of us has asked ourselves: Why? What? and Why do I keep on? At some time during our school years. What is education anyway? QUESTIONNAIRE What do you feel the Student Council should do to celebrate Christmas in the school? 1 think • the Student Council Certainly not a piece of paper which states you have graduated with such -and -such a degree. Maybe it could be defined as being all the knowledge each of us has stored in the nooks and crannies of our brains. It might be', the abilities we have which enable us to hold a job in the working world. Or is education knowing all about famous artists and being able to speak in Latin? Personally, 1 feel education is all that a person learns from the second he is born till the second he dies. We are educated throughout our lives in many ways. Self -Education, such as learning from the books that we read, is one way. We learn through experience --once we touch a hot clement on the stove, we know enough not to do it again. We learn from others --our parents, friends, relatives --just about everyone we come in contact with. And of course, our teachers at school, who try to teach us the three R's. The aim of a formal education, l think, is to prepare each student for the career of his choice. Many people assume, however, that the greater the number of years spent in Post -Secondary School Educa- tion, .the "more educated" a person is. A scientist is consider- ed to be a well-educated man.
