Government cutbacks mean problems for H u,ronview Spending cutbacks were a common bond in committee reports at Huron County Council last Friday and service cutbacks to residents of Huronview was a major item of contention. County Councillors learned that the county home for the aged south of Clinton may be forced to cutback on staff and Worst storm yet whips area The worst storm of one of the worst winters we've had in a long time brought arca life to' a standstill on Sunday and Monday of this week, People from other places were snow- bound in Blyth for up to 36 hours when the storm blocked Highway 4 and people from Blyth were stranded out 'of town after leaving for visits on the weekend, All rooms at'the Blyth Inn Hotel were filled and about a dozen people, most of them from London trying to return from ski weekends in the north, spent the night and most of Monday in The Village Restaurant. Police closed the highway when drifting snow and lack of visibility caused a number of accidents, Schools were once again closed on Monday. Tuesday's bright and clear weather gave snow removal crews a breather to try to open clogged country roads. Highway 4 was still narrowed to one lane in areas north of Blyth on Wednesday morning. By Wednesday gusting winds, dropping temperature and predictions of_. heavy snowfall gave' indication that more was on the way. subsequently services due to a ceiling on the provincial grant structure. The 310 bed institution is subject to a live and a halt' per cent grant from the province. County clerk -treasurer 13i11 lianly said that 80 per cent of the 'budget was needed to cover wages and employee benefits and councils only alternative in the budget was to cut staff and services to the patients. 'l'hc management of Huronvicw committee has been unable to negotiate a final settlement with the Service Employees Union Local 210 involving 130 full time and 50 part time personell. The county solicitor had recommended that an interim increase of 25 cents per hour be granted to all employees effective January 1, 1976 pending final settlement. Union members have agreed not to seek compulsory arbitration before April 1 in an attempt to clarify the position of the province and the anti-inflation board. County council gave tentative approval to the budget of $2,310,840 and while the province is limiting its grant to live and a half per cent and budget indicates a 13.4 Continued on Page 6 Snow removal costs building like the snowbanks Evcrytinie a snowflake falls these days, Blyth's snow removal costs climb still higher. It seems sure that a record bill for snow removal will be recorded this year in Blyth. Clerk -Treasurer Larry Walsh revealed Monday night at council meeting that already $4200 had been spent on snow removal compared to $5600 for all of last year. "1t' the snow continues," he said, "we're. going to have to cut back on something else." Blyth's total road budget this year can be $35,800 if it uses the dollar for dollar figure with government grant that is usually followed. The government grant for 1976 is $17,900, up about $2800 over last year. Summer construction programs .may suffer if the stormy weather continues. In other business, council filed a letter from the staff of Alexandra Marine and General Hospital in Goderich calling for the i'eversal of the decision to close Goderich Psychiatric Hospital or for the resignation of Health Minister Frank Miller and his top staff. No action was taken either on a resolution from the town of Hanover calling for a government study to investigate all aspects of education but particularly to investigate financial aspects, Some councillors argued that such a commission would only add to government costs. Council decided that in Tight of the fact that trailer licences have not changed in price since 1971, a 25 per cent increase be instituted for 1976. In future raises will be made every year in conjunction with the millrate for regular housing. An applica- tion for a building permit to locate a mobile home in the village was refused to Bob Brown, .Inside Editorial , Church Classified Entertainment Page 4 Page 7 Page 14 Page 15 Controversial Sunday opening by-law passed A bylaw to allow the Sunday opening of Bainton's Old Mill factory outlet caused a good deal of discussion at Monday night's Blyth council session before it finally passed. The bylaw was opposed in a presentation by''Hey . Ted Hoogsteen for the council and congregation of the Blyth Christian Reformed Church. The lengthy letter called on council to: "1. Maintain that Jesus is. Lord of the Sunday, 2. Maintain that Sundays are days of worship. 3. maintain !hat Sundays are days ()I' rest and healing. 4. maintain and honour the value of human life and therefore not to pass a by-law to permit retail businesses in this jurisdiction to he open on Sundays..' Later in the meeting F •anklin 13ainton appeared hefore council. Ile said he was aware that an clement of the population did not ; pprm e ot: his business being open on Sundays that in fact he slid not approve himself. Six days u1' work a week are enough. he said, without being open on Sundays too. However, he said. his opposition (The Old Mill located outside the village in Hullo( township), had already received permission to remain open on Sundays and if his competitor was open Sundays then he must be open Sundays. "We must remain competitive or we'll go out of business." he said. "'Phis is not a threat", it's a simple fact. It' the other place remains open and WC remain closed on Sundays then we'll close permanently, not just Sunday, but every day." Ile told the councillors to make up their own mind un the matter that "as far as I'm concerned, I couldn't give a darn" whether the business stayed open or not. He said that if Sunday opening was denied, the factory outlet store would start reducing inventory at once and would be out of business within a year. Both Mr. Bainton and Rev. Hoogstcen agreed on one point in their separate presentations that when the initial legislation was announced, it sounded good until the matter of exemptions became known, The by-law finally passed by a two to one vote with councillors Con Van Vlict and Helen Gowing approving and councillor William Howson voting against. Councillor Fred Carson was absent because of the storm. Councillor Van Vliet said he felt if both bills could be kept closed it would be good but since one was already open there was little choice for council but to approve the opening.:tThis seemed to be the general feeling behind the decision to. approve the by-law. Tender for $205,200 accepted for seniors apartments Ontario Housing Corporating for the construction of the senior citizens apartment building in Blyth. The winning tender (of 6 bids) Was to J. P. Ducharme Homes Ltd. of Dashwood. Cost of the building will be $205,200. In releasing the information Blyth Clerk -Treasurer Larry Walsh said Monday night that OHC officials are still planning on construction to begin in the spring and occupancy in September but weather conditions in tite spring will decide if this timetable can be followed, If weather doesn't allow an early start, he said, occupancy alight be a month or so later than planned. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 4, 1976. • Don Harron coming to Memorial Hall in Horsburgh Scandal Don Harron will be the star of a new Theatre Passe Muraille show coming to Blyth Memorial Hall theatre on February 23 and 24. Mr, Harron is a man of many talents probably best known for his fictional Parry Sound farmer philosopher Charlie Farquharson. His appearance in Blyth however will not be as Charlie but in a more serious vein in The Horsburgh Scandal about the problems of the late Rev. Russell Horsburgh who become embroiled in controversy hnd sent to jail over accusations of what went on in his youth projects at his Chatham Church, He was sent to jail and banished from his church but later the supreme court threw out the verdict and he was reinstated to his church a short time before he died of cancer, Mr, Harron will appear with many of the regulars of the Theatre Passe Muraille cast who have brought such shows as The Farm Show, Them Donnellys, 1837 and The West Show to this arca before. The Blvth shows will be the only performances in the area, Passe Muraille's director Paul Thompson fell in love with 'Memorial Hall while rehearsing 1837 there and has made it his headquarters for touring in the arca, The appearance here will be sponsored by the Blyth Centre for the Arts and any profits will go toward the renovation work at the theatre, The Blyth stop was arranged by juggling the work schedule at the theatre to leave the open dates. Original plans had called for the scats to be out during that period for refinishing of the auditorium floor but things .have been rearranged so that the seats can stay in until after the performance, Meanwhile those who have seen the work being done have been pleasantly surprised. A new floor has been installed on the stage tgnd much of the woodwork has been stripped down to reveal the beauty of the old wood, By summer it appears the hall will be back to its old splendour.

In the north, the boundary should remain since the area is not advantageous for urban development and should be part of a recreation arca, the study concludes. Exeter: If significant growth of Exeter is to be encouraged, it would have to follow the existing trend for residential development south of the Ausable River, the planners. conclude. However, they suggest the boundaries be limited to extending only three quarters of a utile south and one quarter of a mile cast, west and north. Clinton: Logical expansion would be south toward the former air base on Highway 4, however environmental constraint policies should be devised to preserve the Bayfield watershed. • The boundaries of Clinton could also extend north as well as northwest about a half mile along Highway 8. The southern boun- dary on Highways 4 and 8 should be protected by environmental constraint policies, the study says. Wingham: "Located at the confluence of two branches of the Maitland River, Wingham is faced with significant environ- mental and servicing constraints Financed 80 per cent by the province and 20 per cent by Huron, the study attempts an approach to planning from a rural perspective, rather than the traditional urban development perapective applic d to rural lands, said Steve Janes, author of the James F. MacLaren study. "Urban developments in rural areas -have the effect of breaking up agricultural holdings and producing some reduction in the scale of rural land uses," says the study preamble. Except where justified, thc study defines 90 per cent of the Huron land area for agricultural use only. "The first obvious and necess- ary deletions from thc agricultur- al perspective are the urban areas" of Goderich, Exeter, Clinton, Wingham and Scaforth, thc study says. "These centres should have an urban perspective designation in order to facilitate their orderly development and to protect the surrounding agricultural areas," the planners say. M1 the centres are limited in growth potential because of the limited capacities of streams to receive sewage effluent, the study points out. However, they could double in size in the next 25 years. Interesting books in Blyth Public Library • THE TIME OF THE DRAGON by DOROTHY EDEN In 1900 Ts'u-Itsi, Dowager Manchu Queen, Empress of China; issued an edict which was a warning to all foreigners in her land. It not only affected the Carrington family, who lived in Dragon House in Peking, then, but the'shadow of those times was to touch them more than seventy years later.

Clinton, t ntarlo t to development," the study states, "It appears that the best area suited for expansion is the plateau east of the confluence," but more in-depth study is needed, say the planners. "Since Wingham's arca requirements are Tess than those of Clinton and Exeter, a one-quarter mile extension will be sufficient" for expansion. ' Scaforth: The smallest of county communities, Scaforth has developed a major axis perpendi- cular to Highway 8, the study says, and "a one-quarter to one-half, mile extension on either side 'of the axis would provide sufficient space" for expansion. A second deletion from the agricultural perspectivt of Huron would be argument exists for designating the entire (Lake Huron) shoreline of the county as a recreation perspective area," says the study. "Front a strict agricultural viewpoint, the recreation per- spective should be restricted to a few isolated areas along the shoreline" because of good adjacent farmland, the study says. "Alternatively, from the view- point of the province, the entire. Huron shoreline represents a major recreation resource. The planners urge, the province to draw up an "explicit policy" for recreation land use. Because there is no such provincial policy, the planners urge the county to limit rec- reation designations to where one. ar more of the following condi- tions exist: •Significant shoreline sections of more than one mile with high recreation capabilities; *Where a river valley or some other recreation resource extends the recreation potential inland; •Where there is an existing or proposed recreation use other than seasonal residential. Areas the planners suggest 'be recreational include a section in northwest Stephen Township bordering on the Ausable River and Grand Bend recreation area; in the Bayfield arca a one utile section along the lake and inland along the river; in the Goderich area, the lower part of the Maitland River and inland. "In addition to the three above areas, two areas (at St. Joseph and at Port Albert) night be considered as potential candi- dates for a recreation perspec- tive," says the study, Also to be excluded from agricultural designation would be various nature and environmental protection areas, say the planners, A RECORD DEAL . 4 LOOK SIX GREAT MMINOMM■ • COLUMBIA Jnn Nabors sings the Lord's Prayer. 1 omrny's Greatest Hits.

Time for citizens to share the burden • Snow removal costs in Blyth arc heading For a nciw record, 'Tic winter is Tess than half over and already the cost of keeping streets clean is almost as high as the entire bill for last year..,and this at a time when the provincial govcrnnielit is trying t0 Cutback on assistance to municipalities. Still some people complain that the job isn't being done well enough or often enough. The fact remains that Far nuirc snow removal is undertaken these days then ever before. It used to be we were happy just to be able to get around, Today we have to have the sidewalks cleaned and the snowbanks removed and sand and salt spread on every slippery spot in town, All this costs money. There are only so many people on the village payroll and there arc only so many hours in the working day. And there arc only so many dollars available to pay these costs. • Surely it's about time that individuals began to lake back some of the responsibilities of keeping things cleaned up. If every one looks after the sidewalk in front of his own property as the law prescribes then we'd have clean sidewalks and few bills. If people would take it upon themselves to sand and salt sidewalks They see slippery, we'd not only; save money but a good many falls. It's impossible for the town craws to know every bad spot in town. We're always talking about cutting government costs. Let's ser us 'all take a big step in that direction. How things changed in one IittleYear. The famous story of Rip Vanwinkle tells of a man who went to sleep for 20 years and how the world had changed in the meantime. In Ontario, the same effect of dramatic change could be accomplished by a relatively short slumber of only one year. Anyone who went to sleep, or left the country about a year ago and came back today might indeed think he had been away for a math longer time. How else could one explain the complete change 'of atmosphere in that time. It was only a year ago that Darcy McKcnugh was still touring..4Ontario speaking to municipal leaders and county councils telling them that if they didn't sharpen ,up, if they didn't provide more service, the provincial government would have to step in and provide those services. The big stick of regional government hung over everyone's head and any local politician who didn't want regional government felt compelled to at least take on some of the expensive trappings to keep McKeough and his boys at' least happy. So there erre more social services. there were county planning boards there was an increase in general in the sire of burcacracv at the local and county level. The government payroll didn't grow as fast as it would have if regional government had alctually come into being, but it dirt increase significantly. But suddenly. just a year after Mr. McKcnugh and his boss 13111 Davis were singing the praises of bigger government, we now have them trotting around the province warning dourly of the dangers of local government's increasing expenditures. The only reason the local taxes haven't gone up by huge amounts in the past, McKeugh hints, is that the province kindly stepped in to bale out those spend thrift local politicians. - They are also warning county school boards to_keep costs down. It's hard to forget that 13111 Danis was the man who singlehandedly boosted education costs many times over by the institution of county school hoards and the expensive burcacracy. It's also hart) to forget that only 'a year ago Bill Davis gave teachers the right to strike but now tells the kcal school boards they are the one's who'll have to hold the line on expenses, including teacher salaries, probably the biggest part of the education budget.

Letter to the editor Writer supports Jim Watson Conservative leadership THE EDITOR: I'ni writing. a letter—to the citizens of Blyth in support of Mr. .lames A. Watson, a candidate for leadership of the National Pro. gressive Conservative Party. Throughout Mr. Watson's campaign, the most often repeat- ed objections to Mr. Watson, as a contender, have been as follows: A. He's not well known in the arca: 13, He's never hurl elected office as an MP. C. He's not wealthy enough for a serious canipaign. Putting myself in the position of being Mr. Watson's attorney responsible for his defence on these three charges, allow tie, through use of your columns, to argue Mr. Watson's case. It's true, Mr. Watson is not as well known in the Blyth Region as sonic who have dwelt there all their lives, but that objection in itself is hardly sufficient grounds for Mr,.Watson to withdraw from the campaign. If he's established and working in a legitimate business enterprise and thereby contributing to the progress and economy . of the village, what more should be expected? The fact is, Mr. • Watson must be recognized for individual worth beyond the 'boundaries of Huron -Middlesex or he would not have reached his present position in the PC Leadership Race, If he. has fulfilled the convention committee's requirement of 50 signatures from delegates of three different provinces, he has already cleared one of the highest obstacles: since the candidate has only a limited amount of the time to run both a 'business and a national leadership campaign, whynotvisit him dropin to vts t at his Village Restaurant in 13101? You'll Iind Ilial approachable. With respect to the objection that Mr. Watson is not, :tor has never been, an elected NIP. that circumstance could work in his _favor: one .prominent 131yth businessman pointed out that he would not %want the leader For a party to be, at the same time, the elected MP for his constituency. "The Member of Parliament has a limit to what he can personally accomplish, he said: "Arid if he's occupied with the affairs of the party, then the interests of his riding are being neglected." That being the cast, ,Mr. Watson would have more time than most other candidates to devote to tlic leadership of the party. 'I'hc fact that Mr. Watson is not presently a Member of Parlia- nicnt gives hint another advant- age: it enables him to speak out freely, (not irresponsibly, either), on issues that are of vital importance, not only to citizens of Huron -Middlesex and Bruce, but to all Canadians. An issue effecting every Canadian, that the Blyth candi- date should be speaking about, is that of metric conversion. Should it not.be opposed, if for no other reason, than on the basis of the millions of dollars of expense to Canadian industry, and govern- ment, while we are being asked to control inflation in other more I essential areas? As for issues effecting Huron - Bruce -Middlesex region, our candidate does not have to look • far, Protection and preservation of Ontario's top agriculture re?ion fromencroachment of or urian grrnwlh (ur sprawl), should head the list of 'any aspiring candidate's resolutions, regard- less of kvhat patty lir represents. There's another aspect of the political picture that must . be recognized by Huron-13rucc- Middlesex voters: for the past decade or more, their elected representatives to both 'federal and provincial governments have been members oI' the opposition party. While no one questions the performance of cither Mr. R. E. McKinley or Murray Gaunt, it must be realized there's a limit to what an MP or MPP can do for a region or constituency when he's not a member ol'the government. And shouldn't we' face the situation that unless a strong federal PC Party is established in Ottawa, we won't have govern- ment .in the best interests of Ontario's agricultural economy while the national agricultural policies follow an opposite course to that of the province? As for the objection that Mr. Watson is not wealthy enough for a serious campaign, would it not be better to keep a candidate of modest means in the race ,by providing him with "grass roots" support, than to allow him to be dropped in favor of'a ntillionaire candidate who has acted without scruples in the acquisition of those millions? Regardless of the outcome, I believe Mr, Jim Watson will have more satisfaction being in the national PC leadership race than any athlete entered in one of the "Montreal Olympic Races".

ST. MICHAEL'S 'ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH FATHER JOSEPH F. HARDY Mass at Blyth every Sunday at 9 a.m. Minister's Study Remember the Sabbath to keepit holy BY REV. STAN McDONALD LONDESBORO UNITED CHURCH Someone has asked the question, "How should the modern Christian keep Sunday?" When 1 was young the day was spent in going to Church and Sunday School and the remainder of the day was spent in recreation and strengthening of the body and mind for the week that was ahead of you. Today we sec so many activities scheduled for Sunday, businesses open, the family unity broken by eachmember going their individual way to "enjoy themselves", thc church and worship is away down the list in priorities for observing the Sabbath. In answering the question "How can a modern Christian observe Sunday" 1 can only think out loud. It is not for me to lay down the law as how others should behave in regard to Sunday, I may be quite wrong, 1 should certainly not deny the title "Christian" to those who keep Sunday differently from the way 1 hold to be best. As one writer says 'others may have problems of health and loyalty that I know nothing.' But my mind says something most important to me about Sunday observance - that the day has been regarded as "different" for over 3,000 years. When Moses, armed with notebook and pencil - as we would say today - went up into the mountain to think out those rules for the wellbeing of his people which would help them to live together with a minimum of friction and a maximum of good health - those rules we now call the Ten Commandments - he borrowed from the older Babylonian code of Hammurabi (B.C,2100) what is now the fourth commandment: REMEMBER THE SABBATH- DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY, The word sabbath comes from the old Babylonian word, meaning: "Stop doing what you normally do"; and the word "holy" means "Healthy". The root of "hale," "Holy". "healthy," and "Whole" is the same, 1 maybe counted as "old Fashioned" but I still think the ideal Sunday is one on which we stop doing what we normally (1o• and promote the health of the body, the mind and the spirit. The Jews by the time Jesus was born, had interpreted the Mosaic Law in a.ridiculous code of meticulous and financial rules. No wonder Jesui condemned them. Keeping the Sabbath had become an intolerable burden. For example, 'no work' was interpreted as carrying of burdens, But this was interpreted financially as 'no ribbon pinned on the dress that was a burden, had it been sewn on it would be different. False teeth must not be worn on Sundays. That was bearing a burden. Some of the Jews cannot have looked their best on the Sabbath. A woman must not use a mirror on Sunday, she might see a gray hair and Pluck it out, and if she did that was 'reaping' and that was breaking the sabbath. And so many 'sabbath -breakers' today recall Christ's words to the Pharisees as their comfort - "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath". But the saying should be contemplated in the light of the answer to the question: "What is man?" If he is only body; if he is a parcel of carbon, phosphorus. iron, water, and the rest, let him not bother about spiritual values. Let hint take no heed of God. Someone had called him "a mental machine that works only for wages", and indeed many are'just that today. But• if that is the whole truth about him, if is not worth doing anything save making the machine work as well as possible and attracting the highest wages possible. But if man is an eternal spirit, made for communion with God, made for love and faith and hope and the inspiring of his fellows, let hint remember that, however; busy he may be, he must attend to the health of the soul or it will atrophy and could perish. • The Sabbath was made for man. Here, to me, is the golden opportunity to keep the soul alive. Here is the chance in a busy world to meditate and pray and recreate the body, mind and spirit for the hours ahead in thc next week. 1 may be counted as aspoil-sport, but if our recreation, our business or whatever we have organized for Sunday takes Sunday away from others, then we must think things through mustn't we? To give an example, some people have to place signs around their farms "No Hunting", or Private - Keep Out - or we.have fences around our farms or lots and even have gates to shut in order to keep what is for the good and welfare of all, Or we see signs 'No Fishing'.,.Please. do not pick the flowers," or in a few places "Please keep off the grass". • One might say: "Why the signs and the prohibitory. notices? Why not let people do what they like?" But I am quite sure that the answer to that is this: if there were no notices, or prohibitions, there would soon be no respect of nature or wildlife, or other people's property. If there were no notices around bur lovely little parks, there would soon be no flowers, or cool green grass. Many people would of course respect, but many others would not. Sunday to me is like a little park in the noisy din of our hectic life, Sunday is a little oasis in the desert of our monotonous and unnatural life. But 1 believe that, human nature being what it is, Sunday must be protected and guarded by a number of "Thou Shalt Nots" or else very soon there will be'no Sunday for anybody to enjoy, If we take no action in this generation, two generations hence there will be nothing to take action about. Sunday will have gone. And though none of us want to return to the old restriction of the solemn, pompus Puritans, 1 do recall that they had some fine things about them. They knew the difference between right and wrong. They had high moral ideals. They had a great sense of duty and example and obligation, Let me finish with one picture. Some time ago I was called to see an old man over 80 who was dying and who was very frightened of death, as some people are. And when, as tenderly as 1 could, I tried to talk to him about God and religion and the soul, he said, very bitterly and brokenly, "I have led a very busy life, 1 have never had time for that sort of thing..." But he had had 4,000 Sundays. Blyth United holds congregational meeting 1 - THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 4, 1976, PG. 7.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 4, 1976, Slim is in; Crash is out Slim is in•—there's no getting away from it. But beware of those crash diets and quick reducing plans. It's just not reasonable to risk your health for a few pounds. There are sensible ways to slim -down while still acquiring the proper amounts of vitamins and nutrients, The Bakery Foods Foundation of Canada's nutrition consultant, Joan Fielden, says, "Losing weight is a natural body process and can only be brought about by a readjustment of. natural everyday habits. Extremes in eating habits can be more harmful that, helpful. They up- set regular digestive processes and they're hard on your nerves and your morale." - Temptation is great to 'just try' one of those so-called wonder diets. But keep your guard up, she cautions. Most of them are the work of faddists or health food promoters anxious to sell cheap words or nutritionally -useless products. So besensible and be sure. Eat the normal amounts of the common _basic foods like meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, whole grain cereals and bread, fruits and vegetables. The key is to avoid extras. Your food should provide your body with calories, proteins, vitamins and miner- als to keep you strong and healthy. No food should be called fattening or high calorie. It's the amount of it that Canadians eat that determines how fattening or high caloric it becomes. • "There's one rule that just won't fail you," says Joan Fielden. "Don't leave any basic food, like bread for instance, out of your reduc- ing diet. Choose a balanced diet of nutritious foods but cut down on , the amount of food you eat." "You too can be in the 'slim'," she adds. "Just remember that sen- sible dieting plans are the key to success." Enriched means? 'What does 'enriched' mean? Enriched, restored and fortified are terms used to describe foods to which extra food nutrients have been ad- ded, according to federal government inspections. The Bakery Foods Foundation of Canada's nutrition consultant, Joan Fielden, says, "Even in Canada, a veritable land of plenty, the daily meals of some people are low in certain essential food nutrients. Nutrition surveys have shown that iodine, vilarnin C, the B vitamins and the mineral iron are among those most apt to be low in supply." Years ago the Canadian government set standards for the nutritional improvement of certain foods. In all cases, the foods selec- ted or approved as carriers of added food nutrients are Iow cost, popular foods which are readily available to the rnaionty of people. There are numerous Canadian foods which are enriched or fortified. Enriched Flour, Enriched White Bread, Iodized Salt, Fortified Marga- rine, Vitaminized Apple Juice and Irradiated Evaporated Milk. "The enrichment process is important as it benefits all Canadians. Basically enrichment puts back at least some to the most important vitamins and minerals that are lost in the cooking or purifying of foods," says Joan Fielden. Along with theenriched ' h products on the market one should keep e ed p their diet well•balanced. That is the key to health. Tuck treat, good• lunch pattern Every day thousands of people big and small, old and young carry a lit- tle bit of home with them. Children's lunch boxes, and adults' too, are big stepping stones between breakfast and supper — between home and school or office — between good food habits and poor ones. Lunch is a very important meal and should provide its one-third share of the day's lood needs. The Bakery Foods Foundation of Canada's nutrition consultant, Joan Fielden, says "There are four important foods to include. Milk — to drink or eat in milk soups or puddings. Meat—or fish, poul- try, eggs, cheese, peanut butter. Bread and cereals --enriched white or whole wheat bread for sandwiches, whole grain muffins, or oat- meal cookies, cereals. Fruits—or vegetables, raw is best, but cooked or canned will do." . "A treat tucked away in a youngster's lunch box la Dad or Mum's, tool adds the finishing touch to a luncheon that is both nutritious and delicious," says Joan Fielden, "Cookies, cake, doughnuts or a. slice of pie for dessert will satisfy that sweet -tooth." Lunches should be built around hearty, tasty sandwiches and variety is the key to success. There are numerous varieties of breads or rolls to choose from, ranging from the familiar enriched white to whole wheat, cracked wheat, brown, rye or raisin. More and more Canadians are turning to the whole wheat varieties. Fill the fresh slices or rolls with a variety of sliced meats, ... well - seasoned fish, savoury chicken, a choice of cheese or favorite peanut butter.. Tuck in crisp raw Vegetables sticks or fruit in season. "Try to fit the lunch pattern to, the appetite of the "luncher" and you'll satisfy hunger and health needs too," says Joan Fielden. "Make each and every noonday lunch a daily lift along the pathway to better heelth." United Church news Wcicbming•'worshippers at the United church on Sunday morn- ing were Jack Lee and Lorne Hunking, Ushers were Ken Pollard, Kevin Hulley, Calvin Lovett and Danny Jewitt, Hymn sing time was held.

Ann goofed: didn't know of strange operation DEAR ANN LANDERS: Recently a young woman wrote to say she was about to marry the man of her dreams, it seems, however, that during her freshman year in college she had fallen madly in love with a football player, She gave herself to him and then he dropped her. The young woman wanted to know about a Japanese doctor in California who makes phony maidenheads out of sheep tissue for "deflowered virgins." She hoped you would tell her the doctor was on the up -and -up, that the procedure was foolproof, and to go ahead, She signed herself "Lost It To A Halfback." You told "Lost It" that you had never heard of the Japanese doctor and added (wisely), "This doesn't mean he doesn't exist." You then said, "There arc so many wiggy ladies around that any scheme, regardless of how bizarre, is bound to have some takers;" but you said you thought the doctor was a figment of .someone's imagination. Well, Miss Know -It -All, the doctor does exist. He lives in Tokyo and has a busy practice sewing in sheep tissue "hymens," The price is $175 and the procedure takes five minutes, The only requirement is that the insert be done no mare than 25 days before the wedding, other- wise the thing might melt. The mini -operation is called, "maku saisel" which means "hymen rebirth," I trust you will be brave enough to print this letter and eat crow publicly.

MacKie, Ford of Canada's executive engineer, has compiled the following tips on how best to use the safety system: Buckle up before you turn the ignition key. With most cars, you'll thus avoid the irritation of the buzzer and warning light • and you'll have the protection of the belt from the outset of your trip. Belts can be more comfortable if' you set them up properly. -Most new -model cars have sliding "comfort" clips on the shoulder belt. Slide the clip against the belt housing or upper ring so laic belt is loose enough to insert. a fist between your chest and the belt, However. don't loosen it any more than that or you may reduce tht' system's effectiveness. Du 't be surprised if the shoulder belt allows more free- dom c!' movement than you have expected in recent -model cars the belts lire designed that way so you can 'reach the ashtray or instrument -panel controls, but will lock up automatically to protect you under sudden•stop conditions. The lap belt should fit snugly across the hips - not the waist, Most cars built in the last three or foul- model years have the lap and shoulder belts permanently joined, so that the whole system can be buckled in one continuous motion. Until you become-accust• omed to this sweeping motion, you may not bring .the belt over far enough toward the buckle the first time. In that case, letthe• lap' belt fully retract so the "jwld" mechanism is released and then start over again. Don't , get upset if you accidentally jam the lap belt retractor by allowing the belt to retract while it's twisted.

Say it isn't so, Pete! • Per ( Pete) Hvidsten is a friend of more than a quarter of a century, but it seems only yesterday that he and I were the life of the party, waltzing the girls off their feet, watching the dawn come up as we sat in the bow of one of the old passenger steamers sailing up the St. Lawrence, while everybody else, including the very young, had gone to bed. This retirement gig is a trend that deeply alarms me. All my old buddies are putting themselves out to pasture, They don't scent to spare a thought for mc.

Johns Ambulance course and arc Early detection of VD makes treatment possible by David Woods Like cancer, venereal disease isn't one disease but several, In all its forms, VD is acquired the same way — by sexual contact — but syphilis and gonorrhea, the two most common versions of the disease, are entirely different in their effects. The incidence of syphilis is about one-tenth that of gonorrhea, Unlike gonorrhea, it's not confined to the genital area, but can, in its advanced stages, wreak havoc with such or- gans as the heart, the brain' and the liver — and is frequently fatal as a result, Throughout history many famous people have contracted syphilis: Keats, Oscar Wilde, Jonathan Swift, Napoleon, Beethoven, Henry VIII, and, predictably, Casanova, among them. Today, we have the means to treat syphilis — principally peni- cillin and tetracyline — but the problem isn't so much a matter of treatment as of detection. It's not easy to tell if you've got syphilis, and many cases of the disease are discovered during routine blood testing. Dr. Ralph Persad, a medical con- sultant with the Ontario Ministry of Health, says that every case of early syphilis is a potential epidemic. In fact, Dr. Persad says, the disease is more serious from the standpoint of potential complications than typhoid. There were 421 reported cases of syphilis in Ontario in 1958; 2,162 in 1974. Syphilis, he explains, is caused by a corkscrew -shaped organism, called a spirochete, which enters the bloodstream and has an incu- bation period of from nine to 90 days following intercourse with an infected person, Primary syphilis often starts as a pimple or sore (a chancre) at the point where the germ enters the body, but, says Dr. Persad, in about 40 per cent of syphilis cases there's no sore — so it's possible to have early syphilis without knowing it. The secondary stage includes such symptoms as transient rashes, sore throat and general malaise. It occurs anywhere from six months to two years after the initial infec- tion. Third stage syphilis is when the spirochetes really go to work over a period of 10 to 15 years in the untreated person — and this is when they can fatally damage the body's vital organs. The important thing to remember, says Dr. Persad, is that one-third of syphilis cases heal spontaneously; one-third have no serious effects, and the other third can lead to chronic disease and even deaf'(. Trouble is, once you've contracted the disease, 'i don't know which of the three categories you're going to be in. Therefore, it's vital to detect syphilis early — not only for your own protection, but also for that of your children, since the disease can be passed on'to the next generation. If you think you may have con- tracted syphilis don't be afraid to, seek out medical help. A specific] blood test is the only way of finding out — and early treatment is the best approach, The Ontario Ministry of Health's pamphlet, VD — Sexually Trans- mitted Diseases, provides facts and information about syphilis. This pamphlet is available in government or physicians' offices, or you can get it by writing to the Health Resource Centre, Communi- cations Branch, Ministry of Health, Hepburn Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario M7A 1S2.

Eventually, I was able to pull up beside her at another traffic tight and I continual trying 10 attract her attention. She continued to ignore rate, I was aware that ladies of good character do not go around responding enthusiastically to every wave or whistle. I was also aware of the danger which can come to a lady driving alone in a big city. Her car tag was from out of town. I was also aware that her car could stall on a busy highway, or on a lonely road late at night. The evening was still early when 1 was trying to warn her. She could not know I meant no harm, yet she could have kept her door locked and ' rotted her window down only partly. I wondered how terrified she might have been at my gyrations, and so I quit trying to contact her. I also knew she night not be scared at all. She might be furious at someone trying to attract her attention, And the fear and the anger were good warning systems, but very poor living systems. It is one thing to be cautious. It is another to be craven. It is one thing to be suspicious, It is another to be ' hostile.

Today's Health Health helps employers and employees alike by David %%'odds According to Dr, James Baillie, a physician who has spent 25 years as medical director of a large com- pany. occupational health is a medical service designed to provide employees with a means of staying in good health. Dr. Baillie, who now runs a con- sultancy in occupational health, considers one of6 the hest places to practise preventive medicine in an industrial society is in industry -- on the job. Why? Well, in the ofd days, company physicians looked after the company's interests first; today; their first concern is the employee. Together with occupational health nurses — whom Dr. liaillie de- scribes as the "backbone of the system" — the industrial or com- pany physician provides a compre- hensive and appropriate periodic medical examination. This examin- ation is appropriate in the sense that it takes into account the age, health status and occupation of the patient. To his original function of ensur- ing safety standards in factories and other places of work, the occupa- tional. health physician has added counselling in such areas as diet, dental care, immunization, blood pressure and exercise, The idea is that a healthy employee is a more effective individual — both from a personal point of view and the employer's. The Ontario 'Medical Associa- tion's section on occupational health currently has some 350 members, all of whom are either in full- or part-time company practice. Dr. Baillie, a former chairman of that section, points out that these physicians do not replace, but work with the family doctor. In other words, if the occupational health physician discovers that an em- ployee needs trgr(trnent, the em- ployee will be re •rred to the family doctor. . Occupational health specialists also give prospective employees a medical examination be/ore they start work in a larger company. Not, though, with the idea of pass- ing or failing them on medical grounds, hut more with the inten- tion of not putting round pegs in square holes: for example, by dis- couraging the obese from jobs re- quiring great agility. So, while the company doctor is concerned about health standards in :i place of work (such matters as safety, noise pollution, chemical and dust hazards, working space and conditions), he also imple- ments regulations such as those re- quiring chest x-rays for employees who work with food. But more and more, thc occu- pational health physician is seeking to avoid the need for disease -care by practising preventive medicine. This makes more sense in personal and economic terms.. As just one example, consider alcoholism, which in Ontario leads to a Toss of 14 million man-hours per year. That problem, like many others, shows up first in a work context where the occupational health spe- cialis ' will see it more readily — and an take appropriate, action to tate it in time. • For al your plum E. rker ing needs contact: Plumbing eating Spiritual Filling Stationfort, R..

PG, 16: -THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 4, 1976. By KEITH ROULSTON This is riot a good year to be in the newspaper business. Oh I know we all gripe about our own job and think nobody else can have it as tough as we do, but 1 think those of us who earn our living in the weekly newspaper business right now have a genuine complaint. 1t started about last Thanksgiv- ing time when we were anything but giving thanks for a postal strike. It caused utter havoc with getting materials in for papers and getting papers out for the readers. It also played utter havoc with the cash flow of most newspapers. Then there was, and still is for that matter, the newsprint strike. Most or the newsprint making plants across ,Canada have been closed down and that hasn't been helping the nerves of newspaper publishers. Any day now you keep expecting to learn that next week will be your last paper. Thanks to the tremendous job done by the crew at the printing plant in Goderich of scrounging paper trom every poss►ole place across the continent, we've kept going but it seems sure that if this was 10 years ago when every paper had its own printing plant and had to buy paper in relatively small lots, a good many would have been shut down. And now there's this weather. 1 Anybody want to buy a mean nobody likes it too much. It's hard on all businesses. But there's one thing that makes it even harder to take in the newspaper business: deadlines. Deadlines put both excitment and hell into the newspaper business. The excitment comes from the weekly challenge of meeting the deadline and the Litelong resident dies in 80th year EDWIN STANLEY LYON Edwin Stanley Lyon, a lifelong resident of this community passed away in Clinton Public Hospital on Wednesday, January 28th after a short illness, He was in his 80th year, A son of the late Harrison Lyon and Martha Leary. He was born in Hullett Township in 1896 and spent his entire life there until moving to Blyth in 1967. In 1923 he married Nellie May Manning who predeceased him in 1969. Surviving are 2 daughters Mrs, Frances Balmer, Edmonton, Alberta and Mrs. Vera Bell, Seat belts must be used properly An Australian study revealed that only 14 percent of belted drivers had their safety belts properly fastened, reports the Ontario Safety League. Most were too loose or twisted in a manner to contribute to ah4ii►n1i• nal injury. Safety belts should be worn so that the lap belt is snug and low • not across the abdomen • and shoulder belts slack enough to allow a fist width between the chest and belt.

Cecil Wittich, Blyth United Church, newspaper nervous tension that builds up the closer deadline approaches; Few people outside the business can know just what it feels like to work under this constant deadline pressure, This pressure goes from excitment to pure hell, however, when the weather starts misbe- having. Because a newspaper 'has to be timely the deadline schedule is set so that there is the least possible delay between gathering news and the time the paper comes off the press, is addressed and delivered to the post office, Every second becomes important, People expect to get their newspapers on time, no matter what the weather: Imagine how it feels, then, to be stuck in a snow bank for two hours, two precious hours. Imagine what it's like when practically the whole staff is storm stayed as on Monday this week and .you realize that come Tuesday, everyone has—to work twice as fast and hard to get all ...cheap? the work done that was missed on Monday because the paper must be ready for press by Tuesday night or early Wednesday morn ing. In most jobs, if you lose a day, you can make up for it over the next several days, In this business, if you lose a day you've got just one day to make up the time you lost. Is it any wonder people in this business get grey or bald or both at an early age? It's been that kind of winter that this just doesn't happen once, it becomes a regular occurence, Out of a staff of seven people the odds arc that at least one member is either stormstay- ed or stuck or at least late getting to work or to an assignment at any particular moment of the working day, That means that at any moment of the day at least six other members of the staff are going slowly insane worrying about how to make up the lost time. Anybody want to buy a 'newspaper...cheap? At least until spring. ALL WESTONS FRESH BREAD 10c O F F PER LOAF WESTONS FRESH CHELSEA BUNS REG, 75c FOR 55c SCHNEIDERS MINI SIZZLERS 1 LB.
