Residents of the central portion of Huron county have begun to muster themselves to battle the provincial government after receiving the shocking news last Thursday that the provincial government has ordered the Clinton Public Hospital closed. Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller arrived in Clinton at' 9:50 Thursday morning to announce closure of the hospital. Huron -Middlesex M.P.P. Jack Riddell had spread the word of the arrival of Mr. Miller 10 hospital officials late on Wednesday afternoon. He said he was assured by Mr. Miller that he was willing to discuss the closure of the hospital with an open mind .with hospital officials. On his arrival Mr. Miller was faced by a crowd of 150 angry people who remained relatively calm as he was hurried into the hospital through a sprinkling of boos. Inside he received briefs from the medical staff at the hospital, and other spointing out the unique services that Clinton hospital offers that others in the county do not such as cardiac treatment facilities and renal dialysis for kidney patients. He then tourncd the hospital and returned st,' the board room where he announced that unless the hospital could show hint where he could save $800,000 elsewhere in Huron county that the hospital would be closed EIS s0011 as - possible after April I. He said there was a surplus oI' beds in Iltiron county and that Clinton, being in the- middle of the county could be closed without too much trouble, cutting 62 beds out of the county one stroke. He said Goderich, Seaforth, Winghanl, Exeter and Stratford hospitals could take up the slack. Later at a press conference he was questioned as to why he decided to close Clinton farther than Exeter hospital which has no active surgery. He said it had been a tough decision but he had decided Clinton should be the one to go.rbecause of its position. He was asked if he took into account the economic and social effect the - closure would have on the town since the hospital is the largest employer left in the town, but he said this was not a problem for his health ministry to worry about. Members of the board, town officials and hospital employees were stunned. One board member said she had been sure after the favourable way Mr. Miller received the briefs and his impressions gained during the tour that he would reconsider. When he said no, she was shocked, Some employees wept. Leaving the hospital after announcing the closing he was met with a smaller crowd but a more angry one than he had seen on the way in. A cold bighting wind had driven many away during the 21/2 hour wait but they had been replaced by some epoplc who were more militant. Several snowballs were thrown at the Minister as he was escorted out of the hospital by Clinton and Ontario Provincial Police, None hit hint but smashed on his car. Several curses were yelled at him, One woman stood in front of his car holding a placard but was removed by police. Protest began almost at once. A town council meeting was held in Clinton on that evening attended by a Targe audience. Meetings of medical personnel from through the county were held. Metings of one kind or another were held nearly every night since the closing climaxing Tuesday with a huge rally in Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton which was attended by an estimated 1500 persons. The audience overflowed from the auditorium to the school hall to the outside of the building. A full cast of dignitaries, from local MPPs to those whose lives were saved by the hospital's services, universally con- demned Health Minister Frank Miller for his "despotic action." Dr. Brian Baker of Clinton hospital received a standing ovation from the standing -room -only crowd, when he said the government used "no more reason than -a mere pin on a neap" in its decision 10 close. the hospital. In his decision last Thursday. Mr. Miller said Clinton hospital was closed because it was "reasonable" distance from the four other Huron County hospitals. "There arc no easy solutions to the problem and I am in no position to give them," Dr. Baker. "There is no easy solution to a minister who says one year that your hospital is open and the next year that it is closed. Dr. Baker was referring to Mr. Miller's continent to the hospital board in February, 1975, when he said he had no intention of closing the health-care facility. "The public meeting in the school's auditorium began with a mock funeral presentation depicting the death of the 10 hospitals closed by Mr. Miller. Sutdcnts dressed in black, carrying, black wreaths with the names of the hospitals, solemnly lined them up on the stage platform. Following that. two Councillor. Roy Wheeler. did a sarcastic impression f Mr. Miller dodging the audiences' pointed questions. A number of townspeople took the stage. each with their own terpretation of what the hospital's closure would mean to the community. Barb Hodgins, a nurse at the hospital, summed up Clinton's frustration in a song she wrote and performed with a guitar accompaniment. "Send those letters in "Let him know its a bloody sin "And he'll (Frank Miller) never Make us close thos "Clinton doors." Jack Riddell, MPP (L • Huron -Middle- sex), said he was prepared to step dots n for a by-election on the Clinton hospital issue to sec if his constituents really wanted a Progressive Conservative government. Clinton Mayor Don Symons said a concerned citizens' committee against the hospital closure will set up an office at the town hall. Play's world premier draws good audience The world premier of the new play Horsburgh Scandal was held at Memorial Hall Theatre in Blyth on Monday night. The play, which also was performed Tuesday night before moving on to Petrolia, drew a large audience despite competition such as the protest netting held in Clinton on Tuesday night. Included in the opening night audience were television and recording stars Catherine McKinnon, wife of the show's star Don Harron, and Rosemary Radcliff, television personality and a friend of Miss McKinnon. Although there was considerable con- cern among some people in the community about the "Scandal" part of the plays name, in general the reaction seemed to be very positive to the play. The cast of 10 received a standing ovation 011 opening night and conversation with members of the audience afterward seemed to bring the general belief that the production handled the delicate parts of the theme very well. From a critical point of view, it was a very intense piece of theatre. Comprised of a long first act and two shorter acts following, the play ranged from humour to Continued on Page 15 PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 25, 1976. Maitland Conservation Authority gets O.K. The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority is DOW approximately 150 sq, miles Larger in area, That was the major news item taken home by all how attended the Annual Meeting of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority at the Authority's headquarters in Wroxeter on Wednesday, February 18th. This addition Lrings the total area oI' the Authority to 1,154 sq. miles. In the pasi, numerous attempts to have the Authority expanded by 4511 sq. mile have been initiated by various Authority municipali- ties, In each previous case the necessary yes Vote .by a two-thirds majority of municipalities directly affected by the expansion was not achieval. In the fall of 1975 it was decided instead to aim for a partial enlargement. Wednesday's meeting represented the fruitful results of the latest efforts. The expanded Authority now includes the entire Lucknow River watershed. Ten additional miles of Lake Huron shorelines to expand were added, Targe sections of which are plagued by severe erosion problems. Municipalities involved in the expansion were the 'Townships of Ashfield, Culross, Kinloss, East Wawanosh, West Wawa- norsh, Colborne and the Village of Lucknoty, of which the last four now lie entirely within the Authority's boundaries. Alex AnseII of the Conservation Authori- ties Branch, attended the meeting and presided over the ballotting for the expansion meeting. All of the municipal representatives in attendance voted unanimously to accept the new expansion after five of the seven affected municipali- ties had voted amongst themselves to add their areas to the Authority. Past chairman, Jack Graul, warmly tt'elcomed the .new municipalities of Ashfield Township, Culross Township, and Luck - now in the Authority and expressed the hope that they would contribute notch to make it an even more ambitious and Continual on Page 16 BUSINESS DIRECTORY ELLIOTT REAL ESTATE AGENCY Gordon Elliott, Broker R.

GODERICH Ready to serve you 7 days a week People are sometimes the innocent victims of violent crime. This is what Ontario is doing to help compensate them. Here in Ontario, we have a law called "The Compensation for Victims of Crime Act." It is administered by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board. Happily, not too many people need to use it. But when someone is injured or killed by a crime of violence which is an offence against the Criminal Code of Canada, your Ontario Government may award compen- sation to the victim, a person responsible for supporting the victim, or the depen- dants of the victim, Among the crimes for which compensa- tion may be awarded are murder, wound- ing, assault and rape. And victims do not need to be the persons against whom the crime was originally directed. People killed or injured while preventing or attempting to prevent a crime against another person, arresting or attempting to arrest someone committing such a crime, or assisting a law-enforcement officer may also receive compensation, Compensation may be awarded for: • expenses incurred as a result of death or injury, • monetary loss incurred because of the victim's inability to work, • monetary loss incurred by dependants as a result of the victim's death. Compensation may also be awarded for other results of violent crime. Applications for compensation must be made within one year of the injury or death, but the applicant should apply as soon as possible—not wait for a court to convict the alleged criminal, For enquiries, an application form, or a brochure explaining the Act in detail, contact: Criminal Injuries Compensation Board 505 University Avenue (3rd floor) Toronto, Ontario M5G 1X4 Ministry of the Attorney General Roy McMurtry, Attorney General Province of Ontario William Davis, Premier PG. 4.

This is Food management? h is hard to disagree with the stated objective of Ontario Health (Minister Frank Miller to peel $50 million off the budget of the health ministry in 1976. One can disagree whole-heartedly with the method, however. Looking at it objectively, even the closing of Clinton Hospital may he perhaps justified, But the whole affair becomes ludicrous when Mr. Miller admits that only dollars are looked at, not other factors. Asked if he had prepared studies to sec how closure of hospitals like the Clinton Public would effect the community he said frankly no, he hadn't. He was health minister, he said and as such his concern wasn't with the economic problems of the community but simply on paring health costs. Is this the government that has spent so much time telling us that it was the only party capable of handling the management of the province? Can you imagine what \vitt happen if this trend) continues, that one ministry concerns itself only with its own problems and doesn't 1()k at the over all results of a decision. Wow, are we in trouble, Such action, closing the biggest employer in a town without any regard to the economic or social effects on the•conlnlunity is completely irresponsible. How much saving is there if the government saves the $800,000 it expects by closing the hospital but has to pick up the tab of dozens of people on welfare or in retraining jobs? If these are the best managers of government wve'ye got in Ontario, we'd better move elsewhere, quickly. Clark unknown but promising inc Clark is still an unknown, With that in mind it is hard to make firm judgements about the young leader of the Progressive Conservative party of Canada. First reaction, however, would be that the Conservatives seem to have picked the right person for the job of trying to become the government after nearly two decades being out of power. He's a refreshing face at least from the group of non-enities and Liberal retreads who were his opponents in the leadership race. He's young, he's from the west and he has the ability to reach people easily in either language. He's a 'I'orric from the start yet moderate enough to reach the broad middle road of Canadians who aren't quite ready to return the survival of the fittest attitudes of people like Jack Horner. He has a big task ahead of hint. He's got to unit the Conservative party, overrule the unruly clement like Mr, Horner and former leader John Diefenbaker and beat Pierre Trudcau. He's got about two years to do it. Canadians must hope he succeeds in making his party a strong alternative to the present government, not because Mr. Trudeau is the curse of the land as some would have us believe, but because to make a democracy work, there must be alternatives. We need two strong parties to keep each other in check. We need Joe Clark to succeed. B. of T. protests hospital closing The Honorable Frank Miller, Minister of Health, Ontario Ministry of Health, Hepburn Block, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario. HONOURABLE SiR: We, the officers and members of the Blyth Board of Trade, are deeply concerned and dismayed with the action of your Ministry in the closing of the Clinton Public Hospital. We cannot understand the reasoning (if any) behind your decision to eliminate such a necessary part of our community, We as businessmen and women of this community cannot help but wonder if it is the desire of you and your colleagues to suppress private enterprise and intitiativc in rural areas, Our local doctors are now overworked and forcing them to spend more of their time driving further to and from hospitals will not be in anybody's best interests. The inconvenience to the general public and the waste of time and energy resources at a time when they arc becoming more important should be consid- ered in this decision. Also, the weather conditions during the winter months in our arca can make it very difficult, and sometimes practically impossible, to travel any great distance, even when an emergency exists. Loss of income to those now employed at Clinton Hospital will definitely reflect on our business volume. We arc self employed people and in most cases we employ others. The type of action you have taken is discouraging and leaves us wondering whether you consider our kind of initiative necessary to the Ontario econ- omy. We would like some direction from you and your colleagues that would enable us to better place future, Are there any further elimination of servic- es or institutions planned? Would you advise businesses to invest more money in their business in expectation of prosperity and expansion in our arca or do you consider that we have reached our potential. Your advice to us in this platter will be very helpful. We shall await your reply. YOURS RESPECTFULLY, BLYTH BOARD OF TRADE, MASON BAILEY • PRESIDENT. c.c. The Blyth Standard Mr. William Davis, Premier of Ontario. Dr. Stuart Smith - Mr. Stephen Lewis BY KEITH ROULSTON You stand there in the bitter cold, shivering along with a couple of hundred other souls conic to see a funeral. Any minute now, Frank Miller , the messenger of death of hospitals all over the province will appear to deliver the death blow to one more institution, There's an air of expectancy, The tension is high, After the demonstration days earlier in Durham it's hard) to say just what alight happen. Women, who stake up most of the throng at the beginning, are trying to ensure the demonstra- tion will he orderly. They wait and shiver. Suddenly' there is a shout. and he is here, alighting quietly from a plain green car and walking quickly up the walk, Considering his fame, his gave, he seems strangely small and insignificant. His step is so quick and his coming so swift that he is in the door before more Miller, carrier of death than a few boos can be hurled his way. The long hour's of wait begin again. It's a helpless feeling, like watching your house being destroyed by a tornado, You can yell, curse, cry, but it does no good. This little pian is litre with his mind made up, with all the cards stacked for hint, There is the sickening knowledge that no matter what goes on in those closed meetings inside the hospital the message will be the same at the end; Clinton Public Hospital has been closed. These people wear the look of defeat on their faces, 'They've seen it happen so many times before, so they know the script, 'they've lost their air base, the major employer of the town. They've lost the railway. They've lost so many things. Always it is the same, a quiet decision made in Ottawa or Toronto, delivered down to the locals. Irrevocable, Outside in the biting cold, the crowd begins to dwindle as the hours drag by. Outside in the cold it is easy to hate the guts of this little plan, Inside, in the warm later as Ile faces the dozens of newsmedia persons present, as he smiles tiredly and jokes with them, it is harder to hate, He collies across now as 0 an ordinary man weary from the arduous task of closing hospital after hospital. He is kind and patient, but firm. He holds out little chance his decision will change, but won't close the door completely. Outside again, the crowd, what is left of it, has changed its mood. The moderates have been driven away by the wind. More rebellious elements have arrived later. Tempers arc short, Bitter- ness abounds as the word filters out that arguments have been for naught, the hospital will close. The little elan conics out again, surrounded by police, The camer- as click and whir. The crowd roars its frustration, bitterness and hatred. A young girl, an employee, cries in one corner away from the action. The rowdies hurl curses and snow- balls. A young attractive %'olnal, plants herself firmly in front 01 the minister's car and holds a sign to the window. A burley policeman pulls her aside and the car whirls out. He is gone. The bitterness, the frustrations, the helplessness remains behind. Another job done.

If there is any part of this letter that you could make use of please feel free to do so. I have attempted to be as factual and honest in my feeling on this matter as I could.

I appreciate what each of you are doing in this matter and it is for this reason that I enclose the copy and give my permission to use it any way you like, including complete rejection of any or all of it if you so wisli, as perhaps through being more highly education than myself, you can, or may have already said it better than I have. The Honourable - Mr. WIlllam Davis, Parliament Buildings, Toronto, Ont. DEAR MR. DAVIS: \ As a lifelong resident of Huron County, it was with a sense of deep loss when I heard that Mr. Miller was closing the Public Hospital at Clinton. Like all 'my neighbours we were left in a state of helplessness that such a thing. could happen in what is still hailed as a democratic country. Without past history, there can be no future, so let us think back to the time when these hospitals were built, not by government, but by the people of this arca for the people of this area. Even to -day much of the equipment in the Clinton hospital was not installed by the ministry of health, but by the auxiliary of the hospital, through the assistance of the people of Clinton and the surrounding arca. Let us now look at some of the benefits of the Clinton hospital, OPERATING ROOMS - Fully equipped, the best in Huron County which is attested to by the doctors af the arca. X RAY • The most modern and efficent outside of the largest city hospitals. HEART MACHINES - The only hospital in Huron equipped and staffed by qualified personnel, who when not required to operate the equipment are' still carrying on their other duties. DIALYSIS • One of the few non city hospitals so equipped, THE COST - Standard ward rate • CLINTON • Under $550.00 per day. LONDON VICTORIA • Over $140,00 per day. OPERATING RESULTS - Com plete lack of cases where post operative patients have had to return because of infection. Can Stratford. London or e% en Toronto make This claim? As all accountant by trade I am deeply interested in learning more about the figures given out by Mr. Miller alid yet in watching the trews I see that these figures are not even being given 10 the members of the opposition so I would not have Watch hope of being allowed access 10 then). Sir. if you expect us to believe the figures, then put then) up for scrutiny and allow us the privilege of determining whether they are in fact true or not. You alight well ask why we should (10111)1 nese figures. I always remember the old axiom that "figures lie and liars figure" and when we think back to just a short time before the. last Provincial election when Mr. Miller stated that n'o hospitals would be closed in Huron, yet now we have to of them. Skeptical, YES, and I believe with considerable justifi- cation, just as we are skeptical of the need of 5 7 Million dollar hospital in Mr. Millers own riding. have not gone into the fact that we are in a snowbett area, where getting even to Clinton could be a hardship, let alone having to get to Stratford, London, or even the local hospitals at Goderich, Wingham, or Seaforth and what indeed would be the sense of attempting Exeter where about all they are equipped to handle are maternity cases, D.N.C,s, and tonsilec- tonly's. When I say this 1 am not attempting to pull down Exeter but merely pointing out the inadequacies of this hospital as an alternative to what is at Clinton. What of the future of the personnel at the hospital? 1 think of those nearing retirement age, what chance have they in obtaining suitable employment at these other hospitals which arc already staffed. These people arc going to be forced to accept unemployment insurance which 1 realize is not years, but rather the federal responsibility, but then who will still be paying for this? We the taxpayer. Where then does all the saying then go that Mr. Miller is advocating? Your ministry has failed to take into account the personal touch whic results in more rapid recovery resulting in less patient days spent at the hospital. You might ask how 1' am so well versed? Mr, Davis I spent 4 weeks in the Clinton hospital in 1972 following a coronary attack, and our son has Spent close to 365 days in \victoria Hospital in London, over the period of 16 years. I do know tlir difference Mr. Davis. 1 realize Sir that your time IN valuable but 1 urge you to reconsider the closing of this institution, as it appears that without further proof this is much more of 0 political nature than 0 truly financial one. When 0111' secs that nine 01.1he ten hospitals closed) are in ridings currently held by members of the opposi- tion. and the tenth. though held by your party. is in a riding where the majority of people are not ()I Canadian birth, one lyollder's. Perhaps by .now you think this cones from a lung bale Liberal supporter, but I assure you this is not the case, as I was one of the voting delegates who voted for Mr. McNaughton at his election In he the member of your party 111 Huron, and I never failed. to vote for him in any succeeding election, I respected and admired Mr. McNaughton by the words which he spoke on the night that .lack Riddell won the Huron By-election will never be forgot- ten, when he said "someday the people of Huron will regret this". is this then what he predicted? Or what of Mr. Millers statement that "It is cheaper to bury the people than fix them. up". Oh I realize that both of these statements could have been given in the heat of the moment, but one wonders. At the time of your election as leader of the Conservative party, 0 heard you speak of the future of Ontario and what you and yobs party could do for it. Where is that vision to -day? 1 would suggest that possibly you are spending so much time thinking of today that you arc not taking a good honest look at the future. 1 agree wholeheartedly with you that cuts have to be made. 1 believe it is up to each one of us to help, but let us spread this over a wider area, let us keep democracy alive. Surely in every arca of government there could be cutbacks made that would effect the savings you are attempting to make, and would be spread over an arca that would mean everyone was doing their part, not- merely the health ministry. Surely what this ministry has proposed is not democracy but the first stirring breeze of communism, a .thing that 1 am sure you abhor as much as 1 do myself. • The province of Ontario and the Continued on Page 5 Baintoneers tie and lose The Blyth I3ainlonecrs t'cnl to Scaforth again last Wednesday night, February 18, 1976 to play another hard game against Part' Line, whom they tied 0 • 0.

The anlbassa• 'I'hc 1975.76 Winter Trail Recreation Program is well underway in the Wingham District. Approximately 9 miles o1' cross country ski trails and 11 miles of snowmobile trails are being maintained by the Ministry 00 public land. The trails are well, used and our Wingham Office has received several complimentary letters concerning the condition and lav -out of these. Through the program, trails are also being encouraged on private land. This is accomplished by providing assistance to area clubs and agencies for the maintenance of their own trails. These trails must then be opened to the public. Applications for financial assistance were received from 5 clubs in the Wingham District. Grants for each of these clubs have been approved as follows; The Wingham and District Snowmobile Club, $525.00; The Hill and Dale Riders Snowmobile Club (Mildmay), $800.00; Kincar- dine Snow Burr•ds Snowmobile Club, $335.(w, Anlbcrlcy-Huron Snowmobile ' Club, $630.00; Quern's Bush Snowmobile Club (Walkerton), $400.00. In order to receive the grants each club agrees to carry out a specified work program and submit written progress reports on the xvork accomplished. The Ministry ensures that this pro- gram is followed, by making on site inspections and by reviewing the progress reports. The 1975.76 Winter 'frail Recreation Program will draw to a close by the: end 01' March. We hope you can get out and enjoy these trails before the snow leaves for another season.

DELDERFIELD: The hero oI' this novel is "Pip'' Kent Stuart who grows up in a small English seaside resort town in the 11)20's.

Don Harron, as Russell Horsburgh turned in a strong performance with a touch for both the lighter and darkers side of the story. The whole cast, in the usual Passe Muraille tradition Or role switching, moved on and off the stage in a variety of costumes and disguises giving Ole appearance of a cast several times larger than the one present. The settings were much more complicated than the usual Passe Muraille fare, with huge gothic windows performing various functions as they rolled around the stage. Drawing almost as much praise as the production was Memorial Hall. The hall is partially through the ‘sinter renovation program which will see it take 00 0 spanking new look inside. Members of the Theatre Passe Muraille crew were in great praise oI' the theatre and the work being done there. One member said it was the best theatre in the country. rs.

Two major, long term, land acquisition programs were approved by the members. The first involves the purchase of approximately 35 acres ()I' floodplain land in 'Furnberry Twp, in an arca known as Lower Town Winghant. Land will be purcahsed according to a list of priorities %which has 25 acres of heavily flooded land scheduled for primary acquisition. 'I'Ite Authority sees this program as a last resort in its efforts to minimize flood damage in the area. Other flood control measures are, not feasible. Properties will be purchased as they become available on the open market. The second, long term, acquisition program involves the 4,000 acre Saratoga Swamp in West Wawanosh Township. This arca is considered to be of great environmental significance due to the fact that it is an important %vater storage and ground water recharge area. The Authority presently owns 457 acres in this swamp and hopes eventually to buy a large portion of it. Mr. lan Deslauriers. Resources Manager informed the Authority members of recent discussions involving the 'townshiop councils of Fast and West Wawanosh and the Authority executive regarding the transfer of ownership of the Wawanosh Municipal Park to the Authority. Mr. Deslauriers also reported that Dave Grummets, Resources Technician is Blyth go-ahead presently preparing a draft Master Plan map of the park for presentation to the councils early in March. Marlene Shiell, Secretary -Treasurer, presented the revised 1976 budget and announced that administration estimates have been revised downward by $20,800 from the proposal budget presented at the General Meeting in December.

David Gower. Town chairman of the Water Management Advisory Board and Public Relations Advisory Board respectively. In his inaugural remarks. Lorne Murray expressed his deep appreciation for the confidence which the members had expressed in him. He went on to say that he sees the long term land acquisition programs as being very important in the future work of the Authority. The Lower 'town Wingham program is especially significant and must be emphasized he said. He added that a great deal of hard work and cooperation will be needed to iron out the problems surrounding the registering of floodplain regulations but that this must conte about. Little Theatre reorganizes A meeting of all those interested in taking part in activiles of the Blyth Little T.B. outside the lungs Everyone knows tuberculosis is a disease of the lungs. Right? Right • wrong, too. In this country, about one out of ten new cases of TB is located outside the lungs. The disease can strike almost any part of the body. Some parts • like the bones and joints. the lymphatic, repro- ductive, urinary and digestive systems, as well as the lungs • are the most susceptible, says your local Lung Association. TB germs are breathed in with air and so go first to the lungs. The germs may enter the blood and lymph systems. travelling from the lungs to another organ. I1• large numbers of TB •germs escape suddenly into the blood- stream, the disease may be transported to many organs. This Theatre is planned for next week. The meeting to plan one production to be produced this condition is/ called generalized miliary TB. It is extremely serious. And drug treatment should begin immediately, In all '1'B conditions, early treatment can prevent crippling, deformity or possible destruction of vital organs, A tuberculin skin test that shows TB germs already in the body can be followed up with preventive drug treatment to avoid development of the disease in the lungs or anywhere else. The happy news about 'I'B is that it can be prevented • and cured • by taking pills. To find out more about TB in other parts of your body, contact your Christmas Seal Association, 945 - 3rd Ave. East, Owen Sound, Ont. N4K 1 L8. IP ELECTRIC spring will be held at 8 p.m. at the old library at Memorial Hall. Anyone interested in helping out in anyway is invited to attend the meeting. Particu'arly needed are those interested in acting and in helping build se'.s. Anyone interested who cannot attend should leave their nanie at the Blyth Stannard office and indicate what area they would like to take part in. 019 OiN y ti� I.� 1v t.� q SHOES, MEN'S & BOYS' WEAR BLYTH, ONTARIO LET US MAKE YOUR OLD FURNITURE BETTER THAN N For a free .estimate d a look at our newest samples materials CALL CLA UPHOLSTERY "Put Your Uphobtor g Ph. -4272 Ninth In Our Hands Blyth, Ont.
