Hospital's fate still in balance A meeting between representatives of Clinton Hospital and the Ministry of Health officials has left the situation over the closing of the hospital still vague. The meeting took place last Thursday and .lasted an hour and 20 minutes. Hospital representatives said the Ministry officials seemed to accept the possibility of cuts in other hospitals in Huron that would mean an overall saving of $800,000 in the county, the amount which would be saved by the closing of the Clinton hospital. The problem remains, however, that two Huron hospitals, Goderich and Wingha, still do not want to cut their own budgets in an effort to try to save Clinton, Meanwhile last week the Ontario Liberal Party caucus threw its support behind keep ing the Clinton hospital open. And on Tuesday, Paul Carroll, chairman of the committee still fighting the , closing of Goderich Psychiatric Hospital said,he.was encouraged by a letter=writing"campaign his committee undertook to the 125 M,P,P.s in the province that had 42 returns against the government's program of hospital closings. That survey showed 23 New Democrats, 17 Liberals and one Conservative against the programa Rumours on Tuesday said that there may be an election by spring as the Liberals moved a subamendment to the . New Democratic amendment to the speech. from the throne which, if accepted, would mean a vote of no confidence in the 'minority Conservative government. The N.D.P. leader Stephen Lewis said he agreed to the points of the Liberal subamendment and so his party would support it when it comes to a vote April 5.

Wawanosh Park may be taken Overby M.V.C.A. West Wawanosh Council, at its monthly meeting, discussed the possiblity that the Maitland Conservation Authority may take over the East-West Wawanosh Park. The possible take-over was mentioned a few years ago, but at that time the Authority had considered the arca too small for its purposes. With the acquisition of 400 acres of land beside the park, the plan would be feasible if the townships agreed to it. Both township councils and several Authority comes to Blyth ERNA VAN DAELE AND KEM MURCH WRITE MUSICAL COMEDY. Another hit theatrical performance comes to Memorial Hall next week sponsored by the Blyth Centre for the Arts. Straitjackets is a musical comedy about the steriotyped roles of men and women in our society. Written by a young Londoner Kern Murch with music by another Londoner Erna Van Dacle, the play was first performed last spring at Talbot Theatre at the University of Western Ontario. The show played to full houses and got a wild ovation the opening night. It also drew warm praise from critics from Toronto and London newspapers. Reaction was so positive that supporters of the play began planning a. tour of Ontario and grants were raised from various supporting agencies. The play opens this weekend at Centre Stage in executive members met in Belgrave ?et). 12 to discuss the proposal. The Authority, council reports. assured them that the park, if taken over, would be operated according to an agreement setting out the conditions which the township wanted. Council said the authority would not take over the park and later dictate how it should be operated. "The townships must be satisfied," they said. In other business, committee delegates for 1976 were chosen. The recreation committee will remain the same, with Walter Arnold as chairman, Janice Rutherford as secretary, John Rutherford, Ross Errington, Susan Cook, Allan Webster, Bill MacPherson, Cecil and Marybelle Cranston and Joe Hickey as the executive. Joe Hickey was named to the farm safety council, Arnold Stothers and Bob Lyons to the fire protection committee, Marybelle Crantson to the arena board and Bob Lyons to the medical centre committee. , Alvin Sherwood attended the council meeting showing his concern about a water problem that has arise in Dungannon. an area where he has installed a new water supply system. Edward Gingerich ap- proached Council about a severance which has not yet been approved by the Huron County Land Division Committee. A motion by councillors Stothers and Hickey that the West Wawanosh Township Council approve two payments of the Huron County levy in 1976 was carried. Councillors Cranston and Hickey passed a bylaw authorizing the township to enter into an agreement with Lucknow for the acquisition of a fire hall to be shared by four municipalities and fire protection by the Lucknow Volunteer Fire Brigade. Road accounts were passed for payment on a motion from councillors Foran and Crantson. Another motion by councillors Foran and Hickey directed the road superintendent to advertise for tenders for the application of crushed gravel during the upcoming summer.

Perhaps that's why about HO per cent of the male population of Canadian universities vanished into the armed forces after the war began. It was like getting out oI' prison. Courses were excellent, but narrow. Most professors were pompous and few were teachers. Students were, for the most part, not taught to think, but only to regurgitate. It ryas a rather shallow and snobbish inwurld, out of the plain stream of life. Not so these days. Rigidity has been shattered, channels have been widened, and experimenta- tion is welcomed, perhaps lou much so. There are fresh winds blowing. And one of the freshest is the new status of women on campus.

There are two sides to the closing story That letter to the editor from the upset Blyth citizens over the fact that most Blyth stores close at noon hour caused quite a stir among businesses on main street last week. A few business persons agreed, a few disagreed (though apparently not strongly enough to sit down and write a rebuttal) and some just didn't acre. There are two sides to every talc, of course and this one is no exception. Several of the main street businesses in Blyth have vern small staffs, perhaps only one person. For these stores to remain open over the lunch hour it would mean someone would have to forgo a leisurely lunch in favour of a sandwich gulped while looking after.the shop. This might be worth it to some people if it meant extra -business, but because of the lack of offices and factories in Blyth which normally provide noon hour business for retail outlets as the workers make use of the hour off to shop, there is usually little business. Would you give yp your lunch-hour to look after one customer who may or may not end up buying something? On the other hand there is no logical reason for some local businesses to close at lunch time. If a business has two or three or more people on staff it seems only reasonable that lunch hours can be juggled so that the store or office can stay open for the convenience of the public. In many cases it's just easier to go along and close up so that's what's done. There are already two food stores, however, which have made the extra effort to serve their customers. And the needs and desires of the customers should be observed a bit more closely. We heard the reply of some businessmen last week: "Well, if they want city conveniences then let them go live in the city." That's all well and good, but let's hope we don't hear the same businessmen complaining in a few weeks about the number of people who shop out of town. Some, not all, Blyth businesses have been guilty in the past of taking their customers for granted. The proprietors are more interested in - living an easy life than in serving their customers. They have been safe in the knowledge that because of the lack of commercial buildings in wo they aren't about to get competition. It hasn't helped make people want to come to Blvth to shop, however. But Blyth and area residents should also give the businesses their just dues. On a couple of occasions recently this writer was passing through the town of Wingham after supper and realized he needed gas. Finding an open gas station in that town after supper is a tough job. Likewise, try to find a restaurant open for a cup of coffee after even the early show at the movies. In Blyth meanwhile one can have their choice of places to buy either gas or food until much later at night. So both sides have their points and they should try to work together to both serve the needs of the shoppers of' Blyth and make life bearable for the business community. Prime Minister Trudeau should foIIowown advice Prime Minister Trudeau has been much in the news of late heading straight from one controversy into another. First there was the fuss rasicd over his remarks on Quebec politics, especially Bill 22, the controversial act making French the sole official language in Quebec. Trudeau told a convention of Quebec Liberals that the bill was "politically stupid". Yet a week later he should have been listening to himself. The infamous judges affair has captured the headlines for more than a week. Momentum in the story of cabinet ministers telephoning judges about cases being tried before them had built to the point on Friday that the main culprit, C. M. Drurie handed in his resignation. But Mr. Trudeau wouldn't let the issue Iie. He refused to accept the resignation. If ever there was a politically stupid move, this was it. Mr. Drurie hardly seems so important to the cabinet that he must be retained at the risk of making the government seem callous and arrogant. if there is a principal involved which Mr. Trudeau feels cannot be breached, it seems hard to find. Despite the jibes thrown his way, Mr. Trudea is the kind of man who seldom does things without a reason. Even his supporters, however, fail to sec the reasoning this time. He hardly seems to be the kind of man so attached to his party that he'll protect his mates at any cost. Yet what other reason is there in this case? Unless Mr. Trudea comes up with some answers soon, he may be leading to the downfall of his government through his own stupidity. BY KEiTH ROULSTON The ancient emperors of Rome created for their perverse enjoy- ment the gladiators. Sonlehwere, somehow, 1 have the idea that some superior being is looking down, howling with perverted pleasure watching his or her pet game: politics, I mean you can get all riled up about politics but sooner or later you've got to stand back and realize how ridiculous it all is. After a while it truely does rescmbly something as nonsensi- cal as the Roman forum. We have, f'or instance, the manipulations of big (as in fat 'cat) 13111 Davis these days as he strives to keep from losing the grip his party has had on power in this province f'or what seems like forever. He's a lot like a lion playing with a Christian, or a cat with a mouse. He is playing with the people of the province, manipulating them with skill even when it seems that his back is against the wall. What many people in this neck of the woods fail to realize these days as they fulminate the government's clos- ure of local hospitals is that western Ontario doesn't mean a thing to Davis politically. It is simply a battleground on which to win his war for higher stakes: the votes of the rest uf' the province. I've heard so many pcoplc say lately that Davis has scaled his fate for good with the closures. Sure he's made certain that a. Politics is like watching the gladiators Conservative wasn't going to get elected in Huron or Bruce counties, but then there wasn't a hope in hell one would anyway. Meanwhile, by having brave Frank Miller take some verbal namecalling and snowballs, he's got a hero 'in the fight against inflation. Now he's sitting back in glee waiting for the opposition parties to defeat him because he knows that he'll get back in big this time by undoing all the promises he's made in the past 10 years. At the same time, the issues of restraint are allowing him to undertake the very policies he's wanted to all along. The people of the area were girded to tight the iniplenientation of the Mustard Report. a few short months ago but now. with little fuss the report is almost implemented and the local politicans like Huron county warden Jack McCutcheon are helping push it through. As if the provincial game wasn't enough to keep our superior prankster happy. he's. got a second game in town: the federal scene. There the govern- ment is sitting tight, waiting for the storm of the judges affair to blow over. They know the opposition can huff and puff for all its worth but all the government has to do is sit tight and it Will all go away eventually. The election is, after all, at (cast two years away and even Joe Clark and filibuster that long. Even if he did, the people would be tired of hearing about it by then. And the opposition parties, ah they're honesy too. To listen to them one wold think they were fueled entirely by righteousness. But to listen to some of the bunk spewed out, (things like Mr. Graftey's claim that the accept- .ance of the resignation of Andre Outlet while Bud Drury's resigna- tion was not accepted showed racism) raid you have to realize that they are just as gully of playing games as the govern- ment. The trouble with all this game playing is that we, the voters, the taxpayers. are the ball the politicians are playing with. Cynicism in politics today is very strong and its tempting to think we're all exagerating too much. Yet it's hard to believe in the sincerity of politicians when we live through Watergate. when a white knight like John Kennedy turns out to be a Whitehouse stud instead. when pious sounding men like Richard Nixon turn out to be frauds, when we can see polticians manipulating our sin- cere need to believe in the decency of our leaders. it seems likely that the next few years will see a severe decline in the interest shown by the general public in politics. It's much easier to give up and go home than try to tell the good guys from the bad in this wierd game called politics. Letter to the editor Federation protests Clinton closing THE HONORABLE WM. DAVIS, PREMIER OF ONTARIO, QUEENS PARK, TORONTO, ONTARIO. DEAR MR, DAVIS: We, the members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture comprising approximately 2200 individual service members of the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture, plus an additional 1200 Huron County members speak with a united voice for an estimated number of over 15,000 farm people in Huron County. At our Directors meetings and at additional general membership meetings it was unanimously decided to rally behind the Clinton Public Hospital and the Huron County Government in its efforts to keep the hospital open to serve not only the urban, but also the rural community in our county, We arc deeply concerned that lives of our members and their families as well as those of the urban pcoplc will be seriously jeopardized if you let the Ministry of Health proceed with the closing. As you are undoubtedly aware that the accident rate in the farming industry is among the highest of any industry, the additional time to reach medical facilities can in many cases mean the difference between life and death or between the saving or loss of a limb. Our Huron County farmers have always considered the five relatively small hospitals in our county as a unit with five different buildings, As such sonie have different facilities and equipment than have others. Clinton, as the central hospital, has the heart unit, dialysis unit and modern operating room, All areas of the county have approximately equal distances to travel to reach this unit. We don't need to point out the urgency of immediate help and facilities available when heart trouble strikes. Again as with the case of farm accidents fast.- acces is essential. The Honorable Mr. Miller very apparently has never considered that in a snowbelt area there arc several days each winter when the roads are blocked by snow. Our main highways. No. 4 and No. 8 are particularly infamous for their drifting snow. The snow -in period here as in the cities, usually produces more than the normal number of heart attacks. Emer- gency snow vehicles often can get the victim to the nearest hospital and save a life. With Clinton Hospital closed our pcoplc cannot reach a Wingham or Godcrich hospital by snow vehicle. It is generally agreed that large Ontario Hospitals are over utiliz- ed by some 20 percent, so a cutback of beds in all of Huron County would not be too great a hardship if our medical doctors would be more discretionary in the stage or type of disease that requires hospitalization. However even the arbitrary figure of four beds per thousand residents when applied to summer resid- ents and tourists who number in the tens of thousands along the shores of Lake Huron, could mean that the bed cutback shouldn't be as drastic as proposed. On top of this the patients from neighbour- ing counties as Bruce, Perth and Middlesex as well as Lanlbton 111 the Grand Bend area ,should be considered. The economic impact on the town of Clinton will be consider- able. Once before a blow was struck when the Federal Govern- ment closed the Air Training Base at Vanastra; but not as serious as this closing would be, as the base had a great deal of their own shopping facilities. The Hospital now is Clinton's largest employer and the closing would almost certainly, mean the closing and diminishing of many other busi- nesses. The farming community relics for a great deal of their purchases on the towns in our communities and the decline and loss of our towns and villages has been of great concern across all of Canada. Flow can anyone induce the retiring people to locate in our towns and villages if the medical facilities. which they or all pcoplc need most have disappeared? Where ,then is the saving to Ontario's budget, if a few hundred thousand is saved on the hospital and revenue from the conintunity decreases by possibly double the amount saved. Mr. Davis, we cannot help to think that Mr. Miller is using the Clinton Public Hospital in a bid to gain the reputation of "Champion of Restraint Programs" in areas where the real situation is not known. It could also be that Mr. Miller uses the pragmatic ap- proach which was .so severally criticized by the Conservative Parties across the country, by only looking at the map of Ontario, without being concerned with the well being of the humans involved. In either case Mr. Premier, we trust that you will take a good look at the deeper consequences of the case and not from a purely political point of view. If you do, we are convinced that you will reverse the decision made by Mr. Miller, First of all give us more time, and we will resolve internal rivalries ourselves, Even if we would fail to resolve our internal problems, we would request that you direct Mr. Miller to keep all five Huron County hospitals open, after which in consultation with the Huron County Council it can be decided how the total cut required can be best spread across the county, Only then a date for the cut would be set. YOURS TRULY, ADRIAN VOS, PRESIDENT HURON COUNTY FEDERATION OF AGRICULTURE DEAR ANN LANDERS: Every time you turn around you hear someone complaining about "the state of the economy" -- how hard it is to make ends meet, etc, 1 felt very sorry for those poor folks, especially around Christmas time, 1 stopped crying when my brother-in-law who works in a Targe department store told me they simply couldn't keep enough "pet rocks" in stock, .They sold thousands of the darned things and that's the way it was all over the country. All the stores had tried to get "pct rocks" from elsewhere were told, "We're out, too." Pet rocks, by the way, sold for prices you wouldn't believe. I later learned that the recipients of the "pet rocks" paid money to have them buried because anyone who received one was honor -bound to treat it as if it were a living thing. isn't this a disgrace, with the welfare rolls bulging and unem- ployment as high as 11 per cent in some cities? •• No Tears For The Poor DEAR N.T.: Get with it, Honey Bun, The unemployed and those folks on welfare are not likely to be buying "pet rocks" •- or burying them either. The posh restaurants in every city are still crowded, The sable coats and Cadillac customers haven't disappeared from the scene. In other words, the rich still have it and are spending it on luxuries •- including pet rocks. But there are still too many people eating dog food, so far as I'm concerned. DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 am furious about the letter signed, "1 Love Brooklyn." He said some pretty nasty things about us "honey•drippin' Southern belles %I/1.o sound as if we have our mouths full of mush." if those Brooklyn jerks who say "bold" for "bird" and "earl" for "oil" don't like the way we talk down here, why don't they stay up north and freeze their cars off instead of corning down south where our speech patterns annoy them? Sign me -• Dixie DEAR DIXIE: That letter from Brooklyn darned near started a second Civil War, Let's bury the hatchet, y'all, and not have any more name-calling.

DEAR ANN LANDERS.: This may sound strange to you, especially because the problem hasn't come up yet, but I know it will one day and I want to be prepared. I'm a Roman Catholic boy, 17. Every night before dinner we say a blessing and after dinner we say two more prayers. So far, all the girls 1 have invited to dinner have been Romans, but what about the time I invite someone who is of another faith? Should 1 ask my parents to omit the prayers out of respect to my guest? I don't believe it is right to inflict one's religion on someone else. What do you advise? -- Uncertain in Akron DEAR AK: No family should omit religious rituals for guests. Any guest who does not wish to participate can be a silent spectator. The host's religion should be respected by all who enter the house, just as you and your parents would respect the rights of others to worship in their home -- in their own way, ***** Discover how to be date bait without falling hook, line and Rock heads buy pet rocks sinker, Ann Landers's booklet, "Daiting Do's and Don'ts," will help you be more poised and sure of yourself on dates.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 17, 1976. PG. 5. Separate school board urges restraint BY WILMA OKE The Huron -Perth County Rom- an Catholic Separate School Board will not endorse the resolutions from the County Board and the Separate School Board of and. Dundas and Glengarry, each calling for support of additional financial assistance to offset anticipated increases in the local mill rates. Investigations revealed that these boards each exceeded the Ministry's ceilings by sustantial amounts in 1975, Jack Lane, Superintendent of Business and Finance reported, He said a conscientious effort should be made to reduce spendings to the ministry's ceilings rather than en- courage further provincial assist- ance to exceed these ceilings. Mr. Lane stated the Huron- Pcrth Board has always contained its spending within the ministry's ceilings and believes all boards should do likewise, particularly in 1976 in keeping with anti-inflation measures. The board was short four trustees at the meeting held in Dublin Monday night, Joseph Looby of Dublin has been holidaying in Florida since early January, Michael Connolly of RR 3, Kippen, is in Ireland, Howard Shantz of Stratford is in Hawaii and Vincent Young of Goderich, in Turkey. An inquisitive mouse came into the board room, but didn't seem interested in filling one of the empty chairs as it soon scampered away. Trustee David Teahen of Stratford reported on the Family Planning Advisory Committee meeting which he attended in Stratford on February 25, The board will write Dr. Susan E. Tamblyn, Perth Medical Health officer, requesting the Aims and Objectives of the Committee for the board to study the proposed family planning clinic to be set up soon by the committee. The board accepted the resig- nation of John McCarroll, Strat- ford, physical education consul- tant, effective at the end of June and Thomas Hoad, St. Aloysius School, Stratford, effective March 19, by mutual consent. Committee chairmen reported they are making cuts where possible as the budget is prepared for 1976. Stratford member Ronald Marcy said it was impossible to make cuts in the transportation budget and with smaller grants this will result in increase in mill rates. Chairman Arthur Haid said he thinks the government is copping out as it led us to form larger school areas resulting in the need for transportation, and now suddenly grants for transporta- tion are cut. Zurich trustee Ted Geoffrey asked administration to come up with some suggestions as to how to cut the budget. "We'll examine every one that is suggested," replied the board chairman. The board renewed the contract with the Simplex International Time Equipment Company, Ltd, for the time clocks in the schools at a contract price of $1,080, an increase of $168 9ver the 1975 price. After the board agreed to pay transportation costs of approxi- mately $450 for Stratford Grade 8 students to ' journey to Port Burwell for a religious retreat, Wingham arca trustee asked for an explanation as to why Wingham students travelled to Stratford to a retreat and Stratford went to Port Burwell. He received no answer when John O'Drowksy of St. Marys reminded fi:in he was out of order as the request had already been voted on. The board supported a resolu- tion from the Brant County Board of Education to back the federal governments anti-inflation board and the provinc'al anti-intlation measures.

A different kind of medical series BY VONNI LEE If there .was one thing the television world did not need, it was another medical series. But "The Practice" is a medical series with a difference. It is a comedy in a doctor's claw, he must tinct plenty to laugh about or he would never be able to keep his sanity! Dr. Jules Bedford is a tough old guy. If he thinks the trouble is all in his patient's head, he doesn't beat around the bush; he tells him so! But in the same way, if Ile feels the problem is psychological yet deep-rooted, he takes the time to talk things out with a patient and veryy " often ends up more involved in the situation than the patient! "The Practice" is a half-hour comedy series seen 'Thursday evenings on the CTV network. It brings Danny Thomas back to the television after a long absence. His last TV stint of any duration was his own Danny Thomas Show where he played what he is - an entertainer and standup comic. When the Bedford role carate along, it happened to be in a 'cries made by his own produc- tion company with his son, Tony, at the helm. But for things to be done fairly, said son, Daddy had to test for the part. Quite understandably, this hurt Danny, but he could sec his son's point of view by his daughter Marto ("That Girl"). he headed to New York to test, with several other actors. He got the part! And later, when he made arrangements to pay for the test, he received another pleasant surprise. The test had already been paid for •- by his children, "larlo and Tony and daughter Terri. One of the most likeable guys in the filum capital, Danny has always had a reputation for helping others and being a Good Samaritan. A devoted family man, he has always encouraged his children in their work and helped them where he could. But their accomplishments have been their own, they didn't make it to the top only because they were Danny Thomas' kids. Danny's co-stars in the new series are David Spielberg who plays his son, Dr. David Bedford; Dena Dittrich as his nurse, Molly; Didi Conn as his office helper Helen and Shelley h'ahares as his daughter-in-law .fenny. One gets little weary of the father and son battles that are bound to, exist between two ambitious temperamental men who are so much alike, The one character who will emerge from the series with real credibility will be Molly who is all things to this lovable vet difficult man • a shoulder to cry on, a friend to confide in, a mirror to see his faults in and an ego -booster to restore his confidence. Always in the background yet very much a part of the play, she lends warmth in a series which is otherwise predictable and cooly different to the needs of the patients who. after all, are the real stars in the life of a doctor. ***** Replicas of the old-fashioned gramophone, otherwise known as' Grammy's, were awarded last week. in Los Angeles when voters of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences named the best recording stars of 1975. In the pop field, it was young Janis Ian who was named best female and Paul Sinton, who once sang with Art Garfunkel, best male. "Love WiII Keep Us Together", sung by Captain and Tennille, was named record of the year and song of the ycar was the _}taunting melodic number, "Send in the Clowns" from the Broadway musical, "A Little Night Music". country music went to Linda Ronstadt for "I Can't Help it if I'm still in Love With You"; Willie Nelson for "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain"; and the husband -and -wife teaof Kris s Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge. l3est country song was "Hcy, Won't You Play Another Some- body Done Somebody Wrong Song" Ray Charles, who must have enough awards to fill an army camp, was named best male rhythm and blues singer and his female counterpart was Natalie Cole who is none other than the daughter of that famous Nat "King". How proud he would be of her! John Willia is claimed the Grammy for the best score from a motion pic urc or television show. He wro the music behind "Jaws".

BAKER DUFF'S UNITED CHURCH, WALTON Recently I was talking to a Carol a ten•year•old girl whose father, with whom she had been quite close, died about three years ago. We spoke of her memories of him. I told her that I can remember very little of my mother, whom I did not see after I was five and a half. I suggested that she tell her mother, grandmother and others oho saw the things she and her father did together, of her memories of hint. Then she should ask them to tell her other things they had seen her father do with her. Perhaps where she heard theist tell about this tither memory, it would help her remember it before it sank from normal conscious recall. 1 wish someone who knew my mother and me tell had done that for me. It would have been different for my Dad, for it would have been Mery painful. In an earlier day we didn't talk as ntncli about our emotions, either. On the other hand, if' we can bear the pain to relive some of those memories with a friend, as a father would with his son about his mother, it helps reduce the pain. A few years ago I knew a woman who'd lost her husband about nine years before; she'd suffered other things, as well. A person who drove 10 work with her said she referred to her nine -years -deceased husband almost every day. My feeling about that • and Ido not mean it to he unkind • was, "He's dead but she hasn't got hint buried vet." I spoke to Carol about the different between memories and living today, To refer occasionally to good ntenturies enriches life today. They have their place, But we can't live with memories. We live today with its activities. We remember our dead father: but we can't live with hint today. Unfortunately. Carol misunderstood. She thought I was telling her she should get on with life today and forget her father, I gave her more food for thought at one sitting than she could digest. She missed the message that she should rejoice in good memories oI' her father, but not try to keep hint alive with her today. Ile has an important and precious place in her heart, but it is, after all, in the past. Isn't a person who lost a mate several years ago, who says, "I could never,marry again. for I feel it would show disrespect for my former spouse," confusing the past and the present in the same way? Memories are real and precious. They can enrich present day life, but they are in the past. 'I'hc challenge to each of us is to live today to m full. Jesus did.

Children's Aid Director of Huron County Children's Aid Society 13ruce Heath took some healthy swings at provincial government officals • recently at the annual meeting of the CAS, in the 65th year since its establishment in the county. Speaking about the govern- ment's "travelling road shows" which • preach the doctrine of restraint, Mr, Heath commented, "The Central reason for the restraint program as we under- stand it is that the province cannot go on spending at the present rate. The daily presenta- tion of the extent of government debt is of concern to all the people of Ontario. It is obvious, however, that his problem did not develop overnight and it will not he overcome in one fell swoop." "Without falling into the trap Society takes whacks of making absolute comparisons+ made on the basis of limited statistical date," Mr. Heath continued, "I must seriously question the multitude echoing the call of restraint when we find this *al Society operating at per capita costs one third under the provincial average, and half as large as our largest colleague in the field of child welfare in Ontario," The director challenged the government on oversimplifying the `economic problem. "History should make us somewhat wary of those who in times of crisis or difficulty present simple and clear answers,,, Mr. Heath pointed out.

Amalia Stoltz, its heroine is the brave, steadfast farm woman who helps her menfolk conquer the land. "Spring Came on Forever" scents a great deal more like a section of real life rather than like a work of fiction. So strong is this impression that the families, whose history is described, scent to have actually existed and possibly were known to the writer. The drama is drawn so effectively that it gives an impression of timelessness to the story. SHARK BY THOMAS HELM: The shark is one of the oldest inhabitants of the sea and from Architectural Conservancy meets A large number of members and friends met at the Little Inn. Bayfield, on February 26 to hear another in a series of lectures on Heritage Building being present- ed this season by the Huron County Branch of the Architec- tural Conservancy. Mr. Philip Dunning, Curator of the Montgomery Inn in 'Toronto, was the guest speaker and his topic was Heritage Furnishings. Mr. Dunning introduced his subject by rioting the increase in interest in antiques and restora- tions. Interest in antiquity how- ever is by no means a new phenomena. People have always been curious about the past. In the I8th century interest mainly centered on early Greek and Italian cultures. The following is an interesting antedote told by Mr. Dunning regarding an incident recorded in a London, England. paper of 1802. The story involves a man by the name of Nathaniel Bendy, better known as "Dirty Dick", who was evicted from his shop by his landlord. Apparently 40 years earlier, in 1761, his fiance had died on the night of their engagement party. In despair Nathaniel closed his house and stove dinto the adjoining shop. For 40 years no one entered the other quarters until the landlord cane upon the scene. The landlord was quick to take advantage of these unusual circumstances and promptly opened the t'pernises to the public. Over 2.000 visitors went through the residence in two weeks, no doubt for a suitable fee. The contents of the house were later sold to a pub which immediately changed its name to "Dirty Dick's". Mr. Dunning went on to explain the process 01' evaluating antique furnishings and everyone enjoyed the opportunity of learn - Never had a PapTest?

Mr. Dunning stressed the importance of proper research before putting together a Period Restoration. There are two sources to draw upon. Primary evidence, which is the most reliable, includes written records, pictures, and archeological find- ings. Secondary resources can be found in books and period magazines and are of a more general nature. The next theme in this series will feature Period Interiors and our guest will be Mrs. Dorothy Duncan, well-known museum advisor, who has been involved in many restoration projects in the Province. Plan to attend: everyone is welcome. The meeting will start at 7 p.m., March 25, in the Little Inn, Bayfield. know too well from history, more often than not such statements reflect political opportunism more than genuine concern, under- standing and thoughtful effective solutions," Mr, Heath said that the Ministry of Social and Community Services under which the CAS operates, has called for agencies to re-evaluate priorities to separ- ate essential programs for those which although desirable, are not essential. The director argued that the social service field with its "multiplicity of funding sources and delivery systems" requires much more communication and participation in decision making than the Ministry has to date allowed, time immemorial the sight oI' its dorsal lin cleaving the surface has struck terror in the hearts of Wren. Because of the recent motion picture and book entitled "Jaws" interest in this creature has been revived.

THE STANLEY CUP STORY BY HENRY ROXBOROUGH: With the upcoming hockey playoffs near, this book will be of interest to hockey fans of all ages. It is an account of the develop- ment of hockey in Canada, the exploits of great players and a history of the N.H.L. Wants with a complete record of the Stanley Cup winners. From the beginning of hockey in Canada, the partisan spirit. sometimes even violent, of spectators has remained un- changed and it is this enthusiasm that has brought hockey to its present position in Canada. WILLIAM AND MARY BY PENELOPE FARMER: During the holidays when the boys went home from the boarding school where her father was headmaster, life changed greatly for Mary. But this holiday was different. William had to stay on at school because his family was away and he expected Mary to be his companion. William owned half a seashell and he hoped to find the other half, somehow, somewhere. Mary comes to understand what the shell means to him and through, this understanding and their' remarkable experiences, Mary herself gains in perspective, purpose and maturity. This is a completely original, wholly, absorbing story, typical of Miss Farmer's writings. \\\\% GRAND OPEN SALE of the BLYTH SPE GUSTO A complete line of S Custom Accessorie Plus Radial and Belt THE BEST DEA THE BEST PRI Cont t• 1 1 eed & d -tires AT E!

"A 5.5. per cent increase in expenditures at a time when inflation is at or near 10 per cent can only be a decrease in real terms," Mr. Heath reasoned, "'specially when roll -oyer costs are taken into account." Mr. Heath pointed out that in slow growth periods such as now are being experienced, there are great nerds for social services. "As a result, there is greater pressure, especially on the municipalities in regard to General Welfare Assistance pro- grams. for the provision of services," Mr. Heath said. The director said the Ministry's answer to get'pcoplc off welfare and into a job "demonstrates a lack of sensitivity toward the realities of the present economic environment." "The fact of the matter is that at a time such as this, a period of slow growth, the job market is tight and those least able to compete cannot obtain work," Said Mr. Heath. "The jobs just aren't there." Present budget requirements for CAS in 1976 hover at about an 8 per cent increase over 1975, Mr. Heath said. That is staking no allowance for those contingencies brought about by the closing oI' Godcrich Psychiatric hospital, a service well utilized by C'AS in the 'past. "All in all, we are clearly talking oI' doing more with less," Mr. Heath said. "The challenge to sum do we accept with Mont' trepidation."

Helen Allen tells Today's child story There's .little doubt that social workers have changed over the last few years, and Helen Allen, who was the special guest speaker at the annual meeting of Ole Huron County Children's Aid Society in Goderich, is perhaps one of the best examples of this swing to social workers with a heart. "CAS workers used to be known as baby snatchers," Miss Allen said in an informal meeting prior to the evening event. "And they used to look under the beds to see what kind of a housekeeper you were. But that's all gone now,,, Miss Allen is the originator of Today's Child, a newspaper feature which has led to the adoption of more than 7,000 Ontario children since 1964. She is also the key figure -on the television program "The Family Finder" which was launched in late 1969 at Miss Allen's suggestion. • She had no idea after her graduation from the University of Toronto that she'd ever become a social worker. She joined The Telegram staff and launched her career as a general reporter, movie critic, women's editor, features editor and political writer. Her exciting work found her covering royal tours, inaugur- ations of US presidents, federal election campaigns. Due to her job, Miss •Allen covered many welfare assign- ments. Her warmth and feeling for people showed through, and she acquired a wide knowledge of the field. When the idea of Today's,Child was born at The Telegram, Miss ,Allen was a natural to persue the 'column. She has been dedicated to the column and to the adoption of hard -to -place children ever since. Today's Child now appears in 22 daily newspapers and 155 weeklies. Helen Allen now is an employee of the Ontario govern- ment's Ministry of Community and Social Services and the picture -story of a child needing adoption is also handled by that Ministry. "The column had been so successful in The Telegram, that when the paper folded in 1971, the government did not want to see the column lost along with the newspaper," Miss Allen com- mented. "And I went with the column." The Family Finder is seen on 12 television channels across the province. When Today's Child began, only three Children's Aid Societ- ies out of 55 in the province - Toronto, Hamilton and Kelton - were willing to have their children pictured and written up in the newspaper. The three-week pilot project was very successful. Out of 23 children whose pictures appeared in the newspaper, 18 were adopted, Then the requests started Blyth 4H club holds first meeting BY SHERRY RICHMOND Blyth I, 4-H opened their first meeting with the 4•H pledge. The club is made up of ten girls and the leaders arc Marg Siertsema and Nancy Carter, They elected officers as follows: President, .lean Siert- sema; secretaries, Janet Lock- hart and Glenda Wood; press reporter. Sherry Richmond. 'I'hc next meeting will be on Monday, March 8 at Nancy Carter's, They closed with the 4-H motto. 8 tables at Blyth euchre There were eight tables at the Monday night euchre. Winners were as follows: high ladies, Mrs. Simpson; high man, Joe Holmes; ladies low, Zora Cook; men's low, Harold Cook; ladies lone hands. Ruth Dougher- ty; men's lone hands, Margaret McCullough, playing as a man; special prize, Edith Glousher. There will be euchre again next Monday night at 8 p.m. Everyone welcome pouring in and a further six weeks was planned for the column. "That six weeks is still going on," Miss Allen smiled, At the start, pseudonyms were used for the children. Then an older child named Tommy object- ed to having a name other than his own used. He said he'd told all the kids at school that his picture was to be in Today's Child and he thought it would look silly to have some other name attached to his picture. "Frons then on, all the older children were asked whether they wanted to use their own names or a pseudonym," Miss Allen said, showing once again her genuine concern for her young charges. "Most want to uw their own names." During the years of Today's Child, four sets of seven children from one family have hccn adopted as units. Otte set went to a doctor and his wife: one group to a minister and his wife; one to an average middle class fancily; and the final one to a childless couple in the armed forces. "I've often wondered just what kind of change occurred in that honcc where they went from no children to seven children in one day," said Miss Allen. More black and native families arc adopting chilcfrcn these days, Miss Allen noted. Consequently, more effort is being made by the Children's Aid Societies to place Indian, Eskimo and black children in homes of their own race. And there is a growing acceptance of problem children - youngsters with learning disabil- ities, emotional problems, physi- cal limitations and medical difficulties all are being adopted into good homes where they arc accepted and loved. There are fewer infants for adoption these days because of the improved birth control meth- ods and the accessibility of abortions. As well, fewer older children are available for adop- tion through CAS because of the trend toward keeping children in their natural families whenever possible. "The CAS will take children into care temporarily while mother straightens out her emotional problems or father sorts out his liquor problems," Miss Allen commented. "They will put housekeepers into,homes and do everything to rehabilitate a fancily so that kids can either stay at home or return to the home after a while," While single parents who want to adopt children are discouraged because of the belief that the ideal situation is where both a mother and a father arc in the honcc, in some exceptional circimstances, adoption by single parents is permitted. Miss Allen noted an increase in the number of single men who are applying I'or children to adopt. "•There have been sonic really successful single parent adop- LET US MAKE YOUR LD FURNITURE THANBEi1ER NEWT For a free estimate and a look at our newest samples of materials —CALL CLARK UPHOLSTERY "Pat Your Upholotsalag Ph. 523.4272 L ;Cook, .Prop.. ,i..d. is Our Hands" - Blyth, Ont. WE HAVE FREE PICKUP AND. DELIVERX SERVICE tions," she said. Today's Child is a more effective oceans of finding adopt- ing families than The Fancily Finder on tcicvision. "That's probably because the tcicvision program is more easily forgotten after it is over," Miss Allen admitted. "The newspaper stays in the home and makes a greater and longer impression on tanultes. But I suppose you could say that one complements the other. A child who appears on tcicvision may turn up in the newspaper or vice versa. - She also believes that Today's Child has been so successful because it provides prospective parents with some say about the child they select. Often times the picture o1' a particular child will appeal to a fancily for whatever reason, and a good lconce is found where it otherwise could not have hccn. What's more, children have a great deal to say about the homes into which they will go. The child is given plenty of time to assess the home through weekend visits and holidays. He must feel comfortable there and want to go there. No child is forced into a situation anymore than a family is pressured into taking the child. "It must be a mutual feeling -the parents for the child, the child for the parents," Miss Allen pointed out. While Miss Allen has nothing to do with placing the children she puts t)eforc the public, she is keenly interested in her children, and keeps track of many of then. She has sonic warm and wonderful stories to relate about the adoptions with which she has been involved. atom ateof,o NMI MESE LOW OASCONSUM/NG (/SEO CARS 1976 Maverick, 4 door 1976 Ford 1/2 ton F 100 V8 auto- matic, power steering 1976 Ford F100, 6 cylinder 1975 Chev Impala, 2 door hardtop 1975 Ventura, 4 door, sedan, 6 cylinder, automatic 1975 Pontiac Paris Brougham 2 door hardtop 1975 Pontiac Le Mans, 4 • oor sedan 1975 Olds Cutlas, 4 dog' sedan 1975 Pontiac Paris Br.ugham, 4 door 1975 Hornet, 6 cylder, 4 door s�•an 19 4 Dodge Mon co, 4 door, with air- onditioning 197 Dodge .nico, 2 door, hard op with :1r -conditioning 1974 Dodge riart swinger, 2 door hardt p 1974 ' lym ' th Scamp, 2 door hardtop 1974 Astre, 2 door 1974 Oldsmobile Delta 88, Royalle 4 door hardtop 1973 Chrysler, 4 door 1973 Dodge Dart, 2 door hardtop 1973 Ford Custom, 4 door 1973 Chev Belair, 4 door sedan 1973 Chev Impala, 4 door, sedan 1973 Buick La Sabre, -2 door hardtop 1964 Rambler, 4 door 1/2 ton truck toppers in stokk '(\Few & Used Polaris Snowmobiles Hamrn'sCar Sales' Ont.

Hostess served lunch. 100 attend Wingham meeting to protest seat belt law More than 100 persons were present at a meeting held at F. E. Madill Secondary School March 4 over the new legislation concern- ing seatbelt use. The meeting, sponsored by the Citizen Protec- tion Association, heard many of its members vocally attack the government, stand up for citi- zens' rights and speak of incidents where seatblets didn't work. Brian Hallman, vice-chairman of the local association, voiced his strong opposition to the new seatbelt law. "We are here because we are losing our rights as individuals and have to do something about it, We must all stand up and let our government known we want to preserve our freedom." The next speaker, Marvin Scott, was a little more vocal. "If our government doesn't know what the people want, they certainly won't know what the people don't want. Why condemn someone to death by trying to tie him in a car? If it ever comes down to tither paying the fine or going to jail, l would rather take a jail term and free board. It's ironical when one considers that the new law condemns us to death and the government abolishes the death sentence for someone who really deserves it." "1 thought 1 was alone in this area when 1 first started but I have found a lot of support against this law," sayd Ray Hanna. "1 have done about 7,800 private interviews and have found that only two percent support the legislation with 98 per cent strongly opposed to it. If these petitions do not carry through, I don't know what we'll do." He did say that the petitions would be photostated and then present- ed to Queen's Park. "Democracy was when people held supreme power. The government should actually be ourservants and not our dictators." To show how many were in opposition to the law, Mr. Hanna presented petitions with more 4,000 signatures to arca co-ordin- ator Mrs. Karen Hcpinstall from Guelph. But the most surprising mo- ment of the meeting came when Meaford resident Eric Biggins stepped up the dais to describe why he chose a jail sentence rather than paying the $28 fine for not using a scatbelt. "The freedom and liberation of the eople should not tampered with. It seems that the govern- ment has distorted these words and brushed them aside. It certainly appears that police governments are becoming a reality." He told the delegation that, when the bill went through, it took only two weeks from the talking stages to third reading of thc bill. "The amount of haste was very indecent." He said he spent three days in jail and that if he had tried to appeal the case, "it would have been an exercise in futility." "What I'm really talking about is the rescinding of this stupid legislation. Get the hall out of our cars, Mr. Davis. The people arc the government because we elect representatives to represent us." 'In the letter from Roderick Lewis to the clerk of the assembly, the first reading took place about November 18 with the second and third readings Dec. 2. And royal assent was given a mere two weeks later on December 18." Mr. Biggins continued. "The government always sticks its hands into our pockets whenever it needs some money. I'm getting fed up with all the politicians - we shouldn't be told what to do and what not to do. Politicans today aren't interested in us, but without people, there is no government. We should try to get them out if they are not doing the job." He said police are now playing guard with the motorist but added that he thought 99 per cent of the police are doing a fine job in the community. He strongly empha- sized that government should be given back to the people. "Let's take the issues to the people." If Mr. Biggins' appeal fails, he said he will start his own private war. In another letter from MPP Jack Riddell of Huron -Middlesex, it said the seatbelt legislation was never brought to a vote. The letter also stated that the new task was to convince thc Minister of opposition to the new law and that consideration should' be given to the appeal. "The law was never voted for in the House..." In thc Wingham area, five petitions have been circulated by the association with more than 1,700 signatures procured. 'About 25 more are to come in from areas such as St. Catharines, Tceswater and Goderich. The association's first step is to form a lever from petitions protesting seatbelt use, correlate them and present them to Queen's Park. Mr. Scott told the gathering how his life was saved by not wearing a seatbelt. "If 1 was harnessed to a car scat, I would have been killed instantly." He was confined to a wheelchair' for an indefinite period as a result of his car accident. And one person in the crowd added, "What is the government going to do next? Step their feet into our bed- rooms?" Dave Mitchell, founder and director of the association from Niagara Falls was also present at the meeting. "We must force the government into acting for the people. We now have roughly 100,000 names on various peti- tions with the same number scattered throughout towns and cities. We certainly don't ques- tion of validity of seatbelt use in some situations, but we shouldn't be told when to wear them. We predicted the estimated revenue in seatbelt fines to be about $600,000 to pay for all their advertising. We plan to knock the government full of holes in this matter." Mr. Mitchell explained that the Citizen Protection Association is an organization of a group of people for the people. "The group is for people to become unified rather than doing sonic• thing on their own behalf." The association has 12 centres and is starting up 10 more very soon.
