Blyth Clerk -Treasurer Larry Walsh reported Monday night to council that the education levy for Blyth this year is up 11,860 to 44,784 from $32,924 in 1975, or 36 per cent. The increase could mean a tax jump in Blyth this year of about 12 mills to cover the increased burden of education. The county levy in Blyth will remain the same and it appears the Blyth rate will remain stable but the education bill will drive up costs. "Just think," suggested Councillor William Howson, "what it would have been like if they (the Board of Education) hadn't cut back?" The levy caused considerable grumbling among the councillors, When the time came for a motion to be tabled to adopt the education budget Councillor Fred Carson asked half -jokingly, "Do we have to?" He was informed council did have to. In other business it was learned that the inspection of Blyth arena by Maitland Engineering Services of Wingham will take place some time next week. Councillors and members of the recreation will be on hand for the inspection. Work is to begin this month on the ' formation of an official plan for the village. Public meetings conducted by the Huron County Planning department will begin in September and the project according to Planning Director Gary Davidson should be completed by the end of the year. A delegation comprised of Mrs. Tom Cronin, Mrs. Lloyd Sipple, Mrs. Everett Hessels, Mrs. Don Scrimgeour,. Mrs. R. Lawrie, and Mrs. Gwilym Griffiths were present at council to complain about several waterholes in the neighbourhood. Some of the holes, they said, were so deep that they made it dangerous for children playing in the, area.. Council, promisedto take action on • the 'matter and ask the property owners involved to have the situation cleaned up by May 10. Reeve Robbie Lawrie stepped down from the chair during discussion of drainage problems in the area of Dinsley and King • Street, citing possible conflict of interest. The problems which have been a constant headache for council and the property owners in the area have been a regular discussion topic at council for several years. The streets and drains committee is to look at solutions to the problem and schedule a meeting with property owners involved to see if the problem can be resolved. Council agreed 'with town superinten- COUNCILLOR BILL HOWSON Thankful for education cuts • dent Bill Buchanan that the snowplow should be. given a major „engine overhauling before next year. Council voted against the recommenda- tion that representation on the County Council but cut from 45 to 29 eliminating deputy reeves in all but three municipali- ties. Reeve Lawrie is a strong opponent of the plan. He said that the proposed saving (up to $30,000 a year) would soon be offset by ipereased pay to county councillors because with fewer on council, each councillor would have to attend more meetings meaning more time away from a regular job. He cited the example of the county school board where trustees now make a considerable amount of money while the old school board trustees often worked for nothing. County Councillors discuss council BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Members of Huron County Council are considering the possibility of reducing its members from 45 to 29 but it isn't likely they will come to a decision until June at the earliest. A report of the local government study committee was tabled until the May session but council probably won't be ready to vote on the matter until the following meeting at the end of June, It was agreed at the April session, Thursday, April 29, to send a letter to all municipal councils in Huron asking for opinions concerning the feasibility of adopting Section 27 (a) of The Municipal Act which provides for a reeve for up to 2,000 electors; a reeve and a deputy -reeve over 2,500 electors; the reeve with a second vote over 5,000 electors; and the reeve and the deputy reeve with a second vote over 7,500 electors. What's more, Jim Mair of Morris Township, hopes that there will be time for the Huron County people to express their opinion on the matter - either by delegations to councils or by speaking directly to elected officials in their municipalities. In tete report of the committee chaired by Warden Jack McCutcheon, it was noted that in 1975, the population in Huron was 54,671. Based on that figure, council has at the present time a member of council for each 1,437 people. If Section 27 (a)' was adopted, there would be one member of council for each 1,885 people. Presently, there are 56 votes in council, an average of one vote for each 976 people; or 2.15 votes per municipality, or 1.24 votes per member. Under the system proposed, there would be 30 votes in council, an average of one vote for each 1;822 people, or 1,15 votes per munici- pality, or 1.03 votes per member "Many believe in the principle of one person, one vote," Warden McCutcheon said in his report. "Under our present representation there are 11 members with two votes each. At the present time, if Section 27 (a) were adopted, there would be only one member of council with two votes." The most interesting aspect of the proposal as far as the majority of council members was concerned, was the suggestion that between $25,000 and $30,000 could be saved in one year if the number of representatives on council was decreased. The report noted that based on the present rates being paid to council for a full day session, the present cost is $2,402.18 per session. Or an average of $53,38 per member per session. Using this average cost per member, for 29 members the cost per session would be $1,548.02 - or a saving of $854,16 per session, For 10 regular sessions per year, that would be about $8500 saved if per diem rates etc. remained as they are at present. For committee meetings, the cost is $3,001.70 for the nine standing committees to meet one each month. That's an average of $333.52 per committee. ' It has been proposed that instead of nine committees, six committees would be sufficient under the new system if adopted. For discussion purposes, it was suggested that health and social services be amalgamated into one committee, library reduction and property into one committee, and planning and development into one committee. At an average cost of $333.52 per committee, the total cost for six committees to meet once monthly would be $2,001.12 - a saving of $1,000 per month. Another $10,000 could be saved over a 10 month period - if costs remained the same and if committees met only once monthly. It is expected that another $5,000 could be saved in meals and convention expenses for the smaller council. In total, that's $23,500 in actual savings per annum • a bare minimum. "Concern has been expressed that with fewer committees the workload may become such that more meetings would be necessary or alternately mare authority and responsibility turned over to non- elected staff," Warden McCutcheon said in the report. Reeve Jack Tinney of Hay Township, a member of the local government study committee said he thought it was significant that the report noted that a heavier workload might prevent members from becoming directly involved with the administration of the various departments as at present, and that more meetings could mean that certain' members might not be interested in running for.elected office, or because of being unable to take time off work, could not attend meetings. He added that as the study committee toured some of the county councils in the province, they saw nothing better than the system used in Huron, although he admitted that some ideas from other counties could be utilized in Huron to hit area m u n icipal ities BY ROSS HAUGH All municipalities in the County of Huron have received their 1976 tax levy requisitions •from the Huron Board of Education, •'"While individual tax rate increases will vary because of increased assessments and over or under requisitions from previous years, the average rise is expected to be about 28,7 percent.

Although Warden McCutcheon urged council not to think in terms of "getting rid of the deputy -reeves", much discussion centered around just that. Anson McKinley, a former Warden of Huron, brought forth the suggestion that perhaps deputy -reeves should still sit on council, but not on committees. "I like 45 members on council," Reeve McKinley said. "We get a lot of input that way." He went on to say, however, that committee work should be consolidated. He said he was disturbed that the administrator and the warden had to sit in on every committee meeting. He said it was during his term as warden that secretaries took down committee minutes instead of either the clerk or the deputy -clerk. McKinley saw the deputy -reeves as a body of critics whose duty it would be to question every committee about their rec- ommendations. He said that under the • present System, with every member of council a member of some committee, each member had a "vested interest to see that every committee report goes through county counil with as little hassle as possible." He argued that if the deputy -reeve's didn't sit on any commit- , tees, they would be in an ideal position to question and prod. Jewitt of Hullett, He suggested that deputy -reeves should serve an apprentice- ship council, and then when they became reeves they could step right ' 'o committee positions with experiences and k::�,v-how.

County council takes action to protect historic Ball's Bridge BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Scenic and rustic Ball's Bridge near Auburn is the subject of a bylaw which will extend the restricted load limit of six. tons on the bridge for another three to five years, depending on .the Minister of Transportation and Communications. Joe Kerr, chairman of the county road department, said the present bylaw protecting the bridge from overload expires in November of this year. The bylaw, according to county engineer Jim Britncll, is designed to discourage arca residents from abusing the bridge, Mr, Britncll pointed out that many people in the arca • really don't want the old bridge to be replaced with a new one, He said the steed framework overhead is a "vanishing thing within the Swinging Seniors hear about guide .dogs ,The Blyth Swinging Seniors held their April meeting in Memorial Hall with 49 present.

The price previously paid was $2.50 per rod. The .farmer has the option to sell the strip of land at the rate of $200 per acre with a new fence erected by the county along the right of way, or sell the land and take the cash settlement of $5 per frontage, The county realizes the cash settlement is much less than the cost to erect a fence but because the county feels the fence is the best for both the county and the land owner, it is the committee's intention to encourage owners to take the new fence. 6?)

Farmers just can't win It was refreshing the other day to sec a banner headline across the front page of a major daily paper stating that farmers are bearing the brunt of the cost of buying surplus milk powder for food aid to poorer ,nations. That's the kind of story that usually gets buried on Page 73 of the paper. Usually the only time a story about farming that gets page one treatment is when the price of some item goes up and the story details how the consumer is getting stuck again. This time the story admitted right up front that the dairy farmers of Canada are paying more than $28 million to give surplus milk powder away while the whole rest of the Canadian population is contributing $20 million. All this comes out after a long series of editorials in daily newspapers across the country talking about how the Canadian public was having to pay so much to help farmers out of a jam. Of course the front page story isn't likely the end of the episode. We are still likely to see in the next few days (probably before this editorial appears), another editorial saying that consumers are having to pay for the farmer's contributions to food aid too because the price of milk will be high to cover the cost of the aid. You see the farmer, at the bottom of the long food chain, can't win. If he goes broke, he's called inefficient by city dwellers and he deserved to go broke. If he over produceds and causes a surplus, city people complain about subsidies needed to keep farmers alive until the low prices caused by over production pass. If he tries to control over production by quotas, consumer advocates and the urban press scream foul, that this is creating a monopoly situation. If a subsidy is put on a product to keep the price to the consumer down, it isn't a subsidy to the consumer, but a subsidy to the farmer, If the subsidy is taken off and the price goes up, suddenly it's another transgression against the consumer. Most farmers have little chance to pass on their added costs, costs such as an increase in the cost of tractors because of a big wage hike at the tractor fatory, yet you hear over and over again about how these costs are beging passed on to the consumer. They hear over and over how their land is a precious resource that must be protected and therefore they can't sell it for housing developments or golf courses, yet they're told that the cost of food must be kept down, meaning that they can't sell their land but can't make much of ° a living from it either. Medals for busdrivers Tuesday's near tragedy near Exeter when a school bus crashed off a road and injured 30 students does a lot to make one think, It will undoubtedly bring more concern for the lack of safety equipment in school buses and rightly so. But let's look instead at the positive side. A school bus in a relatively minor accident still is big news (Toronto radio stations even carried the story), which proves school bus accidents don't happen very often. Considering the number of miles driven by children in school buses every year., the safety record is truely impressive. Much of the credit must go the school bus drivers, those fearless people who risk life, limb and sanity five mornings and afternoons each week to pilot our monsters (err students) to their schools so they can then terrorize their teachers fora further five or six hours before returning home to terrorize parents. Perhaps most of today's adults who have never ridden on a school bus don't know what it's like. Well, can you imagine looking after 40 kids at once? Can you imagine having to turn your back on 40 kids at once? Can you then imagine having to do something as complicated as maneuvre several tons of school bus while ducking insults and spit balls aimed at the back of vour head and trying to keep the little monsters from climbing out the windows? Considering their task, and considering how well they perform it, our school bus drivers not only deserve as high or higher a pay scale than teachers and janitors, but a medal for braver+ and a free -pass for. out-patients treatment at the nearest mental institution. Letters to the editor THE EDITOR: This letter is sent to let you know that the Wingham and District Association forthe Mentally Retarded, as a member of the Canadian Association for the Mentally Retarded, will be joining in a nationwide member- ship recruitment effort in May. The week of May 9 to 15 has been designated as National Week for the Mentally Retarded.. During this week, in our efforts .. to attract new members, we will spotlight the needs of the mentally retarded, and the services we are providing and seeking to provide in the Wingham district, Flowers ' of , Hope, Marigold seeds which have been packaged by youngsters in our schools and workshops, will be sent to every householder in the district. In order that those who receive these Flowers of Hope packages do not overlook, their importance as a means of appeal, we feel it necessary to substantiate the Flowers of Hope letters with advertising in news- papers, on radio and on TV. Anything you can do to.. interpret our story of the needs of the mentally retarded in our district will be o£, inestimable value to us. Ca>tktction has started in Wingha'rrf of a new building to accommodate ment- ally retarded pre-school children. The Golden Circle School has Hot dog, what a slide } 1;Ik' �.� k BY KEITH • ULSTON Politics is a crazy game and like most things the Americans seem to be able to top everyone else. We're in the year-long election campaign down in the U.S. these days. Every four years they go through this and one wonders how the American people have managed to keep their sanity this long under such stress. The campaign is so long because one half of the year is taken up with the primaries where the parties try to decide who will be their candidate and the second half of the year is taken up by the fight to see whether a • Republican or a Democrat will sit in the White House for the next four years. This primary bit is the part that has most Canadians baffled. For one thing, we name our candi- dates for leadership of the major parties only about once a decade been located in the Wingham Public School for the past few years and the Adult workshop is progressing very well with a very capable teacher, , We are in ' desperate need of new members • in our Association to help with these projects. We have done a great deal for the mentally retarded in this area, but there is so much more that needs to be done. We would like to express sincere appreciation on behalf of the Wingham and District Assoc- iation fort the Mentally Retarded for your continuing co-operation and assistance in bringing our message to the public. COIUHALLY.. . Politicians are strange while the Americans do it every four years. For another, we've got nothing like the Primary system here in Canada. And then there's the fact that primaries really don't mean that much. Someone can win the majority of primaries and still lose the party candidacy because of a last minute switch at the party's convention. • The other thing that makes me chuckle is that the primary system puts politicians where they are best: in a position where they can say one thing today and another tomorrow. The primary campaigns last about six months. During that period each party candidates attack their own party members with a vengeance as they seek to take the top spot. Joe Blow the Republican will tell the world that John Smith his rival for the party nomination, couldn't chair a P.T.A. meeting let alone run a country. Smith will reply that Blow never made an honest dollar in his life. This will go on day in and day out up tb the day of the convention, Finally Blow gets the party's nomination and the next day Smith will be out helping him try to beat the hated Democrats and telling everyone MRS. A. SWATRIDGE, PUBLICITY CHAIRMAN OF THE FLOWERS OF HOPE CAMPAIGN THE EDITOR This year Police Week is May • 9 to May 15. During this . time each of t4e 180 Ontario Provincial Police Detachments will be open to the public, I would , like to extend a ' personal invitation for you to visit one of our OPP detachments. ' Members of the force will be present to,familiarize you with the ' functions of the OPP in your community. .. The theme for police week this what a .great guy Blow is. Right now, for instance, we have the case of Jimmy Carter. It seems no-one in the Democractic party wants him...at least if you listen to Hubert Humphrey, Morris Udall and Henry Jackson. Yet the rank and file Democrats have been voting for Carter like wildfire. Campaigns have been waged by the Liberal eastern establishment of the party and by organized labour to "Stop Carter", All kinds of horrid things are hinted about the man. Yet the more it seems a certainty that he will become the leader of the Democrats, the more nice things fellow Democrats begin to say about him. Democrats may not like Carter but there's one thing they like less: the possibility of spending another four years outside looking in at the White House. We've seen the same thing in Canada recently after the Federal Progressive Conservative leader- ship campaign. Suddenly people who were sworn enemies are apparently best of friends again. Politicians are just too compli- cated for most of us to understand. year is "Police Protect 1People". Here is an ideal opportunity to meet Police Personnel in an informal atmosphere. Introduce the members of your family to the detachment staff. Find out how the OPP works to help you. H.H. ' GRAHAM* COMMISSIONER.

Brochure to lure tourists brings criticism BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER A "lure brochure" put out by the Southwestern Ontario Travel Association (SWOTA) to promote "Huron • The Sun 'n Surf County of Southwestern Ontario" for distribution in the United States, Europe and other parts of Canada was severely criticized by Clinton Deputy -reeve Frank Cook at Thursday's session of Huron County Council as being "heavily Goderich". Reeve Cook, a member of the county development committee, was perturbed that he hadn't been allowed to speak before J, Morgan, manager of SWOTA who attended the session to review the activities of the organization. Reeve Cook pointed out that while the committee in its report had asked for council's endorsation to pay a grant of $3,150 toward SWOTA for 1976, it had also recommended that the county's participation in SWOTA in 1977 be reviewed. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 5, 1976. PG. 5. "All I can see in itis Goderich," stated Reeve Cook, holding aloft a copy of the colourful brochure, "I don't believe in paying tax dollars to Goderich," The 12 -page booklet had 21 pictures in it, according to Cook, six or seven of them depicted Goderich scenes, "What's wrong with some of the inland places?" asked reeve Allan Campbell, reeve of McKillop. "Why don't you read it?" asked Reeve Use of school property approved BY ROSS IIAUGH The Huron County Board of Educatign Monday authorized the principals of South Huron Secondary School and Exeter Public school to negotiate a satisfactory agree- ment with the Exeter Fall Fair Board for use of school properties for the 1976 Exeter Fair. Superintendent Bob Allan made the recommendation for approval with the understanding that all overtime custodial costs and other expenses of an unusual nature be borne by the Fair Board. The small gym at South Huron would be used Friday and Saturday, September 24 County debates CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Township, raised a round of applause from other deputy -reeves when he told council he wasn't interested in serving on county council if deputy -reeves couldn't partici- pate in committee work. "If we don't have the challenge of the committee you might as well forget it." Morley said, "1 won't come up here and lilt the chair and cat your meals as a critic. It just won't work," Reeve Elgin Thompson of Tuckcrsmith agreed, He said he wouldn't like council to discriminate against the deputy -reeves. Reeve Thompson went on to say that i1' council wanted to save money, it could dispense with the $5. per plate smorgasbord served on county council days to council members and their guests. He said nobody needed such a heavy meal at lunch time, ithd suggested that the "old way" when councillors went their own way and bought their own lunches at the noon break was best. "A group of us used to go to one of the restaurants and sit around the table and have a good discussion," said Rccvc Thompson. "Just as good a discussion as we have today when we're all in a large group in one place." Warden Jack McCutchcon disagreed with Reeve Thompson. He insisted that by keeping council together, a great deal of information was passed around and much public relations work was accomplished. He said that in the smaller groups, councillors didn't get the exchange of ideas and 25 for exhibits which in other years were shown in the Exeter arena which has been closed by provincial authorities. The larger gymnasium would be used Friday evening for the beauty contest and talent show which is a popular part of the fair. The large gym would also be used for the annual country and western jamboree which has featured the Sunday afternoon portion of the fair for several years. South Huron principal .1.L. Wooden estimated at a minimum of 5500. for the use of the building. 1 -le added, "If the reducing size o and didn't get to know the various department heads as well. Warden McCutcheon added that he could support a suggcstioir to incorporate the cost of the noon meals into the per diem 'paid to councillors, but said he %mulct not he in favour of dispensing ‘with the large gathering of council and guests. Anson McKinley concurred with the warden. Ile said that in his opinion, the noon recess with dinner eaten together was the hest thing that had happened in years. 'There was some discussion on whether or not savings would actually be realized by cutting back on the number u'1' county representatives. Rccvc Bill Elson said that smaller groups tended to look fur higher pay. He said the lb member Board of Education costs almost as much as the 45 county council members qpd pointed out as well that a ,l (4111Tteillor in the Hamilton -Wentworth Region was paid $6500, per annum. "Where's the saving?" asked Elston. Rccvc Gerry Ginn of Goderich Township. said that even when he was a deputy -reeve, he believed there were too many members on county council. But he was concerned that if the number of elected representatives was fewer, more decision making would fall to hired or appointed personnel.• County elected representative must keep the power to make the decisions," Reeve Ginn said. Reeve Ginn acknowledged that a saving of $25.30,000 per annum was "a lot of by Board weather is wet or muddy the clean-up will be a big job," Wooden continued, "1 feel that we should co-operate with the Fair Board and I can recommend the use of the small gym for exhibits and the Friday evening use of the larger gymn. 1 would reluctantly recommend the Sunday use." The principal asked that smoking be banned in both gyms and suggested ash trays could bc put in the hall. The Board agreed with Wooden that the school grounds not be used for rides, displays. ete. f council money in anybody's pocket", but he wondered if additional savings couldn't be realized. He said if conmiittees could be amalgamated, perhaps it was conceivable then that instead of two department heads and their salaries, one department head would be sulticient. "If we can amalgamate the committees 811(1 the department heads to look after both services, that's where the real savings wilt conte in to the county," said Reeve Ginn. Reeve Ginn spoke abotit a decision reached earlier in the session to have both the development officer and the county planning director at public meetings about secondary plans. He saw this as a "duplication" of expenses. Instead of two at one meeting, Reeve Ginn wondered if development and planning couldn't be ainalganrated under one department head. Warden McCutcheon commended coun- cil for its open and rational discussion of the .local government study committee's report. He reminded council this was an election year and since all members would be seeking reelection or retiring from ofticcd in the fall, it was easier to • be objective about the future structure of government in Huron. Simon Hallahan, reeve of East Wawanosh summed up the feeling of the group. "I think we have the best system of any in the Dominion of Canada," said Reeve Hallahan. "1 hope w'e can keep the decision making at the grass roots." Ed Oddiiefson who pointed out the names of several Huron County attractions not in Goderich. "1 think we're being rather hard on the people who put out this brochure, just because the pictures perhaps don't give the widest view of the county. County development officer Spence Cummings pointed out this was a "lure brochure" designed to get people to Huron. Once they arrived here, many other, more complete brochures of things to do in Huron, places to cat, places to sleep etc. were available at many locations throughout Huron. It was pointed out there were also booklets listing industrial and commercial sites for persons who might be interested. Reeve Gerry Ginn said he was not adverse to spending money for promotion if tourists were coming into this area, He wanted to know if there was any figures to show the increase in the numbers of tourists visiting Huron. He was told that statistics like that are difficult to find. Mr, Cummings said that anyone in the tourist business to whom he had spoken had noted that business was improving every year. Mr. Morgan, who spoke to council earlier in the day, had said that the tourist industry in Ontario is worth over two billion dollars annually. He also said it is the second largest industry in Huron County, next to agriculture. The committee concurred with the assessment. Reeve Ginn insisted he was concerned with "results" from the advertising campaign. "If we're spending $3,000 and getting back $100,000 in business that's a good investment," said Reeve Ginn, Reeve Harold Lobb of Clinton said it would be near impossible to get any accurate estimate of the results of advertising. "But advertising does pay, Everybody knows that. It's been a known fact for years, Any businessman can tell you that' said Reeve Lobb, Council learned that three members had been appointed to SWOTA from Huron - Malcolm Campbell of Goderich; Randy Collins of Varna; and Wilf Ferris of Benmiller.,. In other business, council learned that George Penfold has satisfactorily com- pleted his probationary period with the planning board and becomes a permanent employee effective May 1, 1976 ire the health department, Jim McCaul, Chief Public Health Inspector, . has resigned effective April 30, 1976. A new supervisor of Public Health Nursing has been hired in the person of Miss Catherine Walsh at a salary of $17,000 per annum. Mrs. Madeleine Roske has been appointed to fill a public health nurses position vacated by Mrs. Rebecca Burton. Mrs. Faye Krieger, a clerk -technician for vision, has resigned and the county is seeking a replacement. If you think advertising is a bunch of baloney, whyareyoureadingthisad? You read to learn. • Reading brings new ideas and thoughts into your life. It opens up a whole new world. That's what advertising does. It communicates information from one source to another. Advertising gives you the opportunity to make up your own mind by familiarizing you with a product. That's why advertising is a freedom. The freedom to know quality and what is available. You read and listen to advertising to obtain information. Information on just about anything. Including the price of baloney. This advertisement is one of a series created by volunteer advertising agencies for the Canadian Advertising Advisory Board. CAAB, representing advertisers, agencies and media, serves as the allindustry link with government and the consumer public.

CECIL WITTICH BLYTH UNITED CHURCH The Rey, Peter Marshall, chaplain of the United States Senate, during the late 1940's, once preached a sermon, entitled, "Mr, Jones, Meet the Master", In it, he tells of Mr, Jones, a leading official in the steel industry. Al a government dinner, he met Mr. Jones. Mr, Jones had become indifferent to religion and the Church. After conversation with Peter Marshall, he became interested in the Christian faith. Later, following more talks with Mr. Marshall, he met the Master, Jesus Christ, In the Church, we have just been celebrating the Resurrection, and the fact that Christ is alive and present in the world today. Now, it is possible, that you may know all about Christ. You have learned about him in Sunday School and Church and in other ways. You can given us some of the information and facts about his life. But, the ultimate and urgent question is, do you know him? Have you met him as Mr. Jones did? Knowing him means more than knowing about him. I can tell you about an acquaintance of mine: where he lives, what he does for a living, the type of clothes he wears, his interests, his age and so on, but you don't really know him until you have met him for yourself. Christ is waiting to make himself known to you. He came to earth to reveal himself in a visible way. Now, he is present and real but we cannot see him, He extends to you his hand. Mr. , or Mrs. , or Miss "Meet the Master", Then, as Pete' Marshall says, "You will never doubt again that fellowship with this living Lord is possible, and you will discover that it is the most glorious fact in our whole world."

Board of Education debates sale of surplus buses BY ROSS HAUGH "No other half -piece of paper has caused so much consternation" Those were the words of Huron Director of Education John Cochrane talking about a report on the distribution of five surplus buses which have• been retained by the Board. Trustee Jack Alexander, a member of the management committee said there appeared to be a misunderstanding among principals that these buses were to be used for back-up to regular buses transporting children to and from school and not for field trips. Board members agreed that in most instances if a bus breaks down on a normal run a call would be put into the home base and another vehicle sent out as soon as it was free as has been the custom in the past. The five buses in question will continue to be stationed at Brookside Public School and Grey, Howick, Stephen and Turnberry Central schools, Director Cochrane commented on the spare bus .situation, "I doubt if any contractor has, a spare bus, I can't see the necessity for a spare bus sitting around waiting for an emergency", Former board chairman Wilfred Short - reed moved that the five buses be used for field trips. Principals now have the right to send a bus on a field trip of 50 miles or less without receiving board approval. Trustee John Elliott added, "If the schools want as many field trips as in the past, the five buses will not be enough, We will have to make sure buses are available when field trips are approved." Later in the meeting a total of 10 field trips were approved, Five of the trips were for secondary schonl students and the same number for elementary pupils. The Goderich Collegiate Institute theatre arts group was in Toronto early this week competing in a Canadian one act play competition. Superintendent Jim Coulter said this gave the students a chance to perform, be adjudicated and see other plays, On May 13, geography students from F.E. Madill in Wingham will travel to Toronto by bus to study a structured walking tour, land use mapping, traffic flow charts, urban renewal schemes, harbour study and ethnic studies. The other secondary school trips are for students at South Huron District High School, Geography students will be travelling to the Noelville-Dokis Indian Reserve on May 14 on an intercultural visitation to promote better understanding of the problems and customs of the Indians, The senior outers group will be practicing canoeing and camping learned throughout the year along with Saugeen River in the Walkerton and Southampton areas. A trip to Quebec Cityis planned May 26 for South Huron French students to make them aware of the reality of the French fact in their country and to show them the � French language in action in everyday situations. Holmesville public school students will be participating in an exchange of music programs with a Woodbridge school, They will travel to the Toronto area on May 14 and play host to Woodbridge students tm May 27. Hensall public school students will be spending May 19 to 21 at Camp Sylvan, near Parkhill. Students from Zurich public school will be travelling to Toronto for a two day trip to provide enrichment related to geography, history and science to broaden the student's experiential back- ground and appreciation of the environment. Brookside students will be going to Camp Menesetung near Goderich on May 2S for outdoor education and Brussels students will go to the same camp on June 10. Trustee John Elliott moved approval of the trips saying, "they are of little cost to • the board."

He said salaries . and fringe benefits account for 95.74 per cent of the increase and 68.72 per cent of the total budget for 1976. Mr. Marcy said a breakdown of expenditures reveals increases of 19.97 per cent in instruction, 3.7 per cent in plant operation and maintenance, 14.74 per cent in transportation; while capital ex- penditure has been decreased by 52.21 per cent. Mr. Marcy pointed out that this year the transportation 'grant has been reduced by eight per cent which may mean reductions in transportation' in September. He deplored the fact that in 1969 the Ministry of Education encouraged the county board of education, necessitating extra transporta- tion, resulting in high tranporta- tion expenditures on the part of county boards, all in the name of equality of education. He said now this year with the cut back in the transportation grant this will mean an increase in cost to the local taxpayer of an increase of $44,000, He regretted that the cut was all in one year, not a gradual reduction. Mr. Marcy said the board plans not to replace three of the full time teachers who have resigned already nor does it plan to replace one consultant who resigned recently. Two portable classrooms will be vacated,, one at Seaforth due to declining enrolment and one at Kingsbridge where the new Bruce -Grey County separate school will absorb pupils. Trustee Francis Hicknell of Seaforth, a member of the finance committee reported that provin- cial grants and other revenue will provide 85.28 per cent of the 1976 budget, compared to 87.65 per cent in 1975. Local taxpayers will be required to contribute 14.72 per cent to this year's budget. Jack Lane, Superintendent of Business and Finance, presented the 1976 mill rate for the supporting municipalities as follows: Ashfield Township, 36.72; Colborne Township, 36.17; Goderich Township, 33.75; Grey Township, 30.61; Hay Township, 39.66; Howick Township, 30.80; Hullett Township, 30.43; McKillop Township, 31.57; Morris Township, 28.24; Stanley Township, 33.49; Stephen Town- ship 36.44; Tuckersmith Town- ship, 28,24; Stanley Township 33.49; Stephen Township, 36.44; Tuckersmith Township, 34.25; Turnberry Township 30,88; Us - borne Township, 30.13; East Wawanosh, Township, 32.59; West Wawanosh, 28,46; Clinton, 35.17; Exeter, 34.34; Goderich, 38.82; Seaforth, 31.39; Wingham, 37.20; Bayfield, 41,00; Blyth, 33.45; Brussels, 33.54; Hensel!, 31.80; Zurich, 36.54; Blanchard Township, 37,75; Downie Town- ship, 37.19; North Easthope Township, 40.79; South Easthope Township, 35.70; Ellice Township 32.71; Mitchell, 28.00; Fullerton Township, 30,45; Hibbert Town- ship, 30.73; Logan Township, 33.20; Mornington Township, 37.05; Wallace Township, 31.46; Stratford, 36.00; St. Marys, 7.30; Listowel, 33.80; East Nissouri Township, 33.75; West Zorra Township, 35,35; Peel Township, 29.67; Kinloss ' Township, 5.77; Culross Township, 5.90; McGilli- vray .Township, 38.70; Biddulph Township, 33.00; Maryborough Township, 33.30; Wellesley, 37.36, In other business during_ the meeting which was not adjourned until 1;00 a.m, in a recorded vote with Stratford trustees Howard Shantz and David Teahen against, approval was given to the proposed school year calendar for 1976.77, calling for nine profes- sional activity days. Mr, Shantz stated that he does not find professional activity days for teachers too worthwhile and ; sought to reduce the number from nine to six but no one would second his motion. The calendar approved has 187 . instruction days plus the nine professional days which include four school currioulm days -- September 13, December 10, January 21, and June 30, and five county curriculum days -- Sep- tember 24, October 18, November 26, March 7 and June 29, David Zyluck, a Grade 7 and 8 teacher of Precious Blood School, Exeter, was appointed principal of St. Joseph's School at Kingsbridge. Joseph Tokar, Stratford, Super- intendent of Special Services, had his resignation accepted effective the end of July: Mr. Tokar has been named director of education for the Elgin County separate school board and will assume his new position August 1. Mr. Tokar has been with the board for the last six years and has been responsible for curriculum pro- gram, professional development and special education. The Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association will under- write the expense for the next professional development day up to the amount of $500 as outlined in a letter from Terry Craig, president of the association. The board will send $100 to the Catholic Parents Action Group of Ontario to assist that group in its fight for secondary school grants for Catholic schools, It -was suggested that as the Huron - Perth Board did not have a secondary school under its jurisdiction the request for money did not affect the board and only verbal encouragement should be sent, At this point St. Marys board member John O'Drowsky snapped; "if we can support the cows surely we can support the Catholic secondary schools." He was referring to a decision in March to give $100 to the Perth Milk • Board for its educational program for young people. Sister Florence, principal of St. Patrick's School, Dublin reported on a recent conference she attended in Toronto held by the Christian Curriculum Develop- ment Committee. Assisting in the presentation were two Hession teachers, Florence McDougall and Inez Haid. Huron County to .get own flag BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER With any luck at all, the County of Huron will be flying its own ensign by the first of July this year. The property committee of Huron County Council reported Thursday it was ordered 114 ensigns - 27" x 54" at a total cost of $2,078.22 from Gamester Advertising Service Limited. The blue and white ensign bearing the county crest and the trillium was the design agreed upon following a flag contest in Huron last year. The flag manufacturer has modified the design somewhat to facilitate production. The flags will be •for sale throughout the county, for about $20 each. 1 THE BUM STAi!(DARDr.MAY 5, 1976. PG. 9.'

KELLER Arena closing occupied part of the discussion time at Huron County Council's April session on Thursday, April 29. Now that arenas and curling rinks have been brought under the Occupa- tional Safety Branch of the Ministry of Labour subject to the Industrial Safety Act, much concern about the structural adequacy of municipal arenas to withstand heavy snow loads and winds has been expressed. It is understood that . some arenas in Huron CouY nt will be closed unless they are reinforced according to recommendations of a consulting engineer which the municipality must hire at its own expense. The engineer's report is to be submitted to the Ministry of Labour to be analysed. Some 800 municipalities have' been contacted by the Ministry recommending that all arenas within their municipalities be carefully examined by a profes- sional engineer to ensure the arenas meet the requirements of The National Building Code. The action was taken after several tragedies involving arenas and curling rinks which collapsed since 1959. Reeve Bill Elston pointed out to council that stricter requirements have been written into the building code since many arenas were erected. He said that arenas in manyareas just won't pass inspection according to the new building regulations. "It is a hot issue", said Reeve 'Elston. Camp •director named MARGIE WHYTE Appointed Councillor Margie Whyte, whose family resides at R.R. 2 Seaforth, has been appointed Director for the co-ed Young People's (Teen) Camp to be held during the long weekend in May. (May 21 at 7.00 p.m. to May 24 at 2.00 p.m.) at Camp Menesetung, three miles west of Goderich. Margie presently teaches at Erin District High School, near Guelph, and was the Camp Director for the five week summer 1974 camping season at Menesctung The basic weekend program will include Christian Education, sports, swim, crafts, camping skills as well as special guest speakers, discussion groups and a resource centre. Any teenager (aged 15 by December 31, 1976) interested in attending this camp sponsored by the Huron -Perth Presbytery of the United Church, should write for an application form from: Mr. J.A. Snider, 62 Essex Street, Goderich, Ontario, N7A.`2TA. Mr. Snider would alto have information on all the summer camps which are being directed this year by Rev. Michael Boulger of Monkton. The Huron Historic Jail Board has been given approval to dispose of_ the stove and other kitchen equipment in the kitchen, and to use the proceeds to refurbish the kitchen with equip- ment of an earlier era, Raymond Scotchmer, curator of the Huron Pioneer Museum, has been named publicity chairman of the 1978 International Plowing Match. He replaces the late Gordon McGavin who passed away recently. The committee of management of Huronview has concurred with a proposal of Metropolitan Toronto Social Services Depart- ment that certain trust funds of residents in homes for the aged and similar extended care facili- ties be made available to the homes to apply to care costs. The suggestion has also been made that co -payments under Extended Care Health Program • be set at a figure equivalent to Residential Care rates charged in any municipal Home of the Aged. Chester Archibald, administra- tor of Huronview, explained that residents are allotted $43. per month as "spending money", If The residential rate at Huron - this money isn't spent, it view has been approved at $15.32 accumulates in a trust fund, In per day, effective April 1, 1976 as many cases, persons , who are I approved by the Ministry of chronically ill for :a long period Community and Social Services. and who have no opportunity to spend the money, either build the fund to a figure where they lose part of their old age assistance pension - or the money falls to the heirs at the death of the resident. Mr. Archibald says it is felt that such money should be applied to the care of the resident when it cannot be spent or utilized by the person for some private need or want. He said the committee felt the money should not be permitted to build up to the detriment of the resident's pension - or tor that matter provide "trips to the sunny south" for survivors, while the taxpayer subsidizes the care of the resident. THANK YOU It would be hard for me to express in words my appreciation for the honor given to me at the East Wawanosh Township Federation of Agriculture Annual Meeting and Banquet in Belgrave on April 23, and the different organizations of Huron County who 1 had the privilege to work with. My contribution to the different organizations is very small to what I received. It has been a great experience for me. I could not understand how this night could have been kept from me knowing about it. I sure got a surprise. However, knowing the chairman's grandfather and been on most of the committee's in the township and county, it could be something I might expect of the late Orville Taylor. 1 was indeed interested in the remarks of the different representatives of the County Committee's and particular the remarks of Russel Bolton of the Huron Plowmen's Association and working with the late Gordon McGavan, also my time with the Blyth Agriculture Society and the time I operated the booths for the Orange Men on the 12th of July in Blyth. It was a day that I will never forget. Again thank you all. It was a grand night in Belgrave. SIMON HALLAHAN.

Unless your soil is very fertile, it will probably require ,fcrtilizcr every year, but the amount needed and the analysis may vary. The right amount of the right kind, applied properly at the right time, will give the best results. There are many different fertilizer analyses and brands available today. Most are identi- fied by a three -number sequence such as 6-12-12, 7.7.7, etc. Remember that the first figure in the analysis is always the percentage of nitrogen in the fertilizer. The second number refers to the phosphorus content, while the last number refers to potassium (as potash). A fertilizer like 16-8-8 is high in nitrogen, while one like 5.10.30 is high in potassium and low in nitrogen. A high -analysis fertilizer is usually a better buy per pound of plant nutrients than one with a lower analysis. For example, 15.15.15 contains 45 percent plant If you want to break away from nutrients, while 10-10.10 contains traditional window coverings like only 30 percent of the same curtains and shades, try a lively nutrients in the same ratio.

The organic materials are more slowly available to plants, which means they arc available to the plant for a longer time, and are less likely to be lost from the soil. However, they are more expens- ive than inorganic types, and most are quite low in plant nutrients, Their nutrients are in an insoluble form and are only made available to plants as the material decays in the soil. The nutrients in inorganic (synthetic) fertilizers are in soluble form—quickly available to plants rather than long-lasting.

Their nutrient content is usually quite high, thus a smaller amount is needed to provide the needed nutrients. Also, the inorganic fertilizers are usually more economical to buy. A disadvant- age is that most gardeners tend to apply too much fertilizer which is caustic to growing plants and will cause injury, Also, because sonic nutrients in inorganic fertilizers are very soluble, they can be lost from the plant root zone by leaching. Shop around a bit before buying your fertilizer. Some stores will have lower prices than others. Just remember to com- pare prices of a similar analysis of fertilizer on the basis of price per pound of plant nutrients. Lawn fertilizers containing weed and grub killers will naturally cost more than fertilizers without these added materials, Be very careful to use these "3 -in -1" fertilizers only on lawns. Do not use them in vegetable, fruit and flower gardens, unless the label clearly indicates otherwise. A soil test will provide you with accurate fertilizer recommenda- tions. But if a soil test is not possible, you cannot go too wrong by applying about 20-25 pounds of 15-15-15 fertilizer, or similar analysis, per 1,000 square feet of garden soil. For lawns, use about 12 to 15 pounds of 7-7-7 or similar analysis, per 1,000 square feet, applied two or three times during the year.

By constructing two side-by-side compost bilis, you can easily turn your compost after 3 to 4 months of moderate to warm weather. It will save energy and money. Hedges will divide or hide BY RUSS GOMME ONTARIO MINISTRY OF AGRICULTRE AND FOOD Hedges serve as living fences, effectively dividing a property into parts. Whether you decide on a formal, well -trimmed hedge, or a row of shrubbery for a more informal appearance depends on your home garden. A large number of plant species, both evergreen and deciduous, can be used for such hedges. but regardless of the plants chosen, there are several general consid- erations for planning your hedge. Low -grown hedges are ideal for bordering a garden; medium hedges are best for separating, and tall hedges for screening. Hedges also provide privacy and protection. They should end at a fixed object such as a building, driveway or large planting. The higher the hedge desired, thc further apart each plant should be spaced. Hedges to be grown one to two feet high should be planted about one foot apart. Hedges to mature three to five feet high can be spaced 15 to 20 inches apart, and those for screening, at least two and one-half feet apart. SELECTION OF HEDGE.. You do not need to purchase the largest plants, but thc bigger their ►'oot system, the better. Most nurseries market hedge plants in units of 10 or more. They also stock a wide range of plants suitable for hedges. For trimmed hedges, consider privet, alpine currant, colon- easter, boxwood' or evergreens such as Japanese yew, white cedar, hemlock or spruce. For natural growing hedges. select spirea,• lilac, forsythia, honey- suckle or shrub rose. HOW TO PLANT IS IMPORTANT!

Displayed either as a single spike or in a basket, they make a wonderful show when in bloom, They will perform well in almost any soil and because they are treated as an annual, they can be grown successfully in almost ,any climate, While glads arc not too particular as to soij type, they will not perform well in poorly drained locations. Excess moisture around the corms either stunts their growth or rots them out completely. So be sure the site is well drained: Clads also prefer a soil that is high in organic matter, This can easily be provided by the addition of manure, compost or peat moss to the soil before planting, Gladiolus are best planted in rows in the garden where they can be tended for insect and disease control and staked as needed. Reserve a space in the vegetable garden where they will be much easier to work with, Some gardeners are tempted to grow them in the flower or shrub border, However, as glads are hest used as a cut flower, their use in the border is not satisfactory. The corms can be planted in the spring, anytime after the frost comes out of the ground up to mid-June. In most situations, unless one is interested in planning., the plantings to coin• cide with exhibitions and flower shows, mid-May is the most satisfactory time to plant. The rows are usually spaced three feet apart with the corms planted four to six inches apart in the row, The average honk gardener will not be able to afford such wide spacings between the rows, so in small gardens it is quite itt. order to plant the corms in rows as narrow as 12 inches apart. It could even be closer but. it would be very difficult to work among the plants. Before planting the corms, have the garden well worked to a depth of six to eight inches, as glads grow tall and need to be I planted deep to help anchor the spikes as they mature. Dig the Fruit trees reward you 2 ways HORTICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF ONTARIO Growing fruit in the home garden can be doubly rewarding. There is the therapy and pleasure of the hobby plus the enjoyment of the fruit itself. For tree fruits to be grown successfully in the garden, the trees should be treated properly from the start. Fruit trees will do well on a wide range of soil types if the soil is adequately drained. Apricots, cherries and peaches are most sensitive to restricted drainage. Apples, pears and plums will produce satisfactorily on either sand or clay loams. The soil should be thoroughly prepared before planting. Incorporation of organic matter is helpful, espec- ially with clay fill. Planting should be done in the early spring as soon as the ground can be worked. The hole should be large enough to accommodate the root system. Trim off all damaged or dead root ends, A dwarf tree must be planted so that the union between top and root will be above ground for the lifetime of the tree; otherwise the scion variety may root above the graft union, resulting in loss of the dwarfing effect. Tramp good soil firmly around the roots. Do not add fresh manure or fertilizer. Prune the tree severely immed- iately after planting. In subse- quent years, train as desired. Hand -thinning the crop at an early stage improves the size of the remaining fruits. In general, fruit trees grown in a good garden soil require little or no fertilizer before they come into bearing. Beware of extremes in kinds and amounts of fertilizer used. A 10-10.10 mixture applied • If you walk to work, it won't be work to walk. pafirl(lpa(T/0l1 Fitness. In your heart you know it's right. in early spring at three-quarters of a pound per year of tree age would meet the needs of the average tree. Do not apply lime, unless it is recommended by a soils specialist. Insecticides and fungicides should be applied to fruit plants only when there is a rise of damage from a specific insect or disease. The gardener must learn what these specific risks are, and the materials and amounts to be used for protection against them. trenches six inches deep and plant the corms making sure they are right side up. Cover the corms with one inch of top soil. As the spikes grow the balance of the soil is gradually pulled into the trench during cultivation. There are many varieties on'the market to choose from in practically every colour under the sun. Some flower early and some late, so when selecting the varieties for your garden study the catalogue carefully. Exper- ience is the best teacher and you will soon learn which varieties do best in your garden. Corms can be expensive so until you know which varieties you want to grow, buy three of each for a start. i,f' you are going to grow gladiolus seriously, always buy named varieties and label them as they are planted so that in the fall they can be kept separate. Many people claim that their corms all revert to white b looms. However, this is due to the fact that white varieties arc generally stronger - growing and produce more corms than the coloured ones. If the white varieties arc not kept separate, they quickly become the most numerous. Gardeners who just want to grow gladiolus for fun will not have to spend much time on the plants, other than cultivation, until they flower, However, it is a fascinating hobby growing long, straight spikes. Those who wish to get involved in growing exhibition spikes can obtain further information on gladiolus culture from the many books available on the subject. The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food publication, Gladiolus Culture (publication H323), con- tains excellent information on all aspects of gladiolus culture and is ai+ailable free from any of the Ministry's county or district offices or from the Information Branch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Queen's Park, Toronto, Ontario.

Most important and must effective is to insulate the home, especially the attic, top. Other energy -conserving tips include, from lefts opening draperies on sunny days to let warming sunlight in; cleaning or replacing furnace filters to keep warm air flowing easily, and caulking around the outside of windows and door frames. Looking to cut heat consumption? Here are helpful hints Homeowners eve here are finding it will cost even more to heat thein homes this winter, so the search is one more seriously than ever before for ways to reduce fuel consumption and lower fuel bills. The 12 most practical ways to cut your fuel bills are listed here, compliments of the Johns•Man• vine Insulation Center. 1. Insulate your home well. It's the most effective thing you can do. With adequate insulation, your home will require onl: :..bout 50 per cent as much fuel as with no insulation, according to the Insulation Center. To insulate an existing home, first pay attention to the ceiling, Turn your Kitchen. inside. out Kitchen decorating has taken on a new concept. A creative person, when faced with the task of redecorating a kitchen, might make the often - used room look like an outdoor patio area. Starting with the walls, put up 'house shaker shingles. Cover the floors with some wall-to-wall artificial turf • the soft, green indoor/outdoor kind. Brick -like tiles for the splash board a a behind the sink complete ,e look. With such a start, a person can go even further with individual accessory ideas, such as wrought iron dinette set or outdoor light fixtures wliidi 'resemble lamp- - posts. Many "natural" motifs and concepts are becoming popular in _ kitchen designs. Ideas in this area include the use of stone, brick, bamboo, terrariums, and living plants. where heat loss is greatest. You can generally insulate the ceiling yourself by laying thick but lightweight fiber glass blankets between joists in the attic floor. If you already have some insulation, you can use an add-on" insulation such as Johns -Manville's Re-lnsul, which is made specifically to bring inadequate attic insulation up to today's standards. Consult an insulation contractor about insul- ating closed -in ceilings and walls. Choose amounts of insulation by Resistance numbers, which tell how well insulation retards heat flow. In new homes, use at least R•19 (61/2 Inches thickness) in ceilings, R-11 (3 7/8 inches to 4 inches thickness) in walls. Insula- tion in floors is needed for homes built over open crawl spaces. 2, Use storm windows or insulating glass. Double glass , resists heat loss almost twice as well as single glass, says the J -M Insulation Center. 3. Use storm doors, keep them tightly latched. . 4. Weatherstrip windows and doors to keep warm air in, cold air out. 5. Caulk cracks around the Outside, of window and door frames. ' 6. Call in a heating service man to clean and adjust the heating burner. He should also check . balancing of the heat distribution system to make sure no room gets more heat than it needs.. 7. Clean or replace furnace filters, Dirty filters may .severely ,hinder movement of warm . ail, reducing furnace_ efficiency and wasting fuel. 8. Set the thermostat back at night, but only .six or seven degrees. A bigger setback will require extra fuel for morning pick-up. 'Always set the thermo- stat back if you're going to be away for a weekend or longer. 9. .heck the location of your therr-,ostat. The J•M Insolation Center says it should be on alt inside wall four to five feet above floor level. Keep it away from heat soprces such as a TV set or a' lamp. 10. Turn off heat in rooms that aren't used. It you. have zone thermostats to control your heating, consider keeping bed- rooms at a lower' temperature during the day. If you like to sleep with a window open, .make sure the bedroom door.. Is, ;;wed.. 11. Install a humidifier, When lative humidity is high, you will e comfortable at a lower :mperature. 12. Develop good heat conser- ation habits. Lock windows to ull sash tightly together. Close replace dampers except when a re is burning. Close draperies at ght, open them on sunny days.

Bicycling has changed, and so have bicycle safety rules. This is what Ontario is doing to bring bicycle safeiji up -b -date There are about 21/2 million bicycles in Ontario to- day. Last year 56 bicyclists were killed on Ontario streets and highways, and 3,720 were injured. Even one is too many. We urge you to make yourself and your family familiar with the simple rules and guidelines of bicy- cle safety. Obey all stop signs and traffic lights. Keep in mind that a bicycle is, by definition, a vehicle under the Highway Traffic Act. After all, you'don't just "ride" a bicycle — you drive it. And Ontario wants every bicyclist to drive safely. That's why the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications has prepared 3 easy -to - understand folders that every bicyclist should read.

Lond, Ontario February, 20, 1976 Licence 11225 Thorne Riddell & CO. Chartered Accountants Notes to Financial Statements 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Combination The financial statements include the accounts of the revenue fund, capital fund, and the following local board: Recreation Committee (b) Fixed Assets No value is attached to fixed assets for municipal reporting purposes, Expenditures on fixed assets are charged against the current revenues unless the expenditures are financed out of long term debt, Debt retirement costs are charged against current revenues in the periods in which they are paid. (c) Inventories of Supplies No value is attached to inventories of supplies for this municipality. Expenditures on supplies are charged against current revenues. (d) Provincial Road subsidy Revenue and Expenditure on Roads Provincial subsidy programmes are on a receipt and disbursement basis which docs not recognize accruals. The municipality has expended amounts for which the road subsidy will not be eligible for claim until the succeeding year. Stich future subsidy revenues have been accrued in the current' ear. (e) Charles for Net Long Term Liabilities Charge for net long term liabilities include principal and interest. Ir terest charges are not accrued for the periods from the dates of the latest interest payments to the end of the fiscal year. 2. CHARGES FOR NET LONG TERM LIABILITIES Total charges for the year for net long term liabilities were as follows: Principal payments Interest $12,152 4,333 $16,485 These charges were recovered from the ratepayers for which the related net long term liability was incurred. 3.

BY BILL SMILEY When you manage to totter through to what is euphemistic- ally called these days "middle age," you are supposed to be able to relax a little, slow down, take it easy, enjoy all those things you never had time for before. After all, your kids are grown up now, and on their own. The mortgage is paid off, or nearly. Passion is not exactly spent, but let's say that you don't exactly turn to jelly at the sight of a big buzoom. If your health is reasonable, you should have a quarter-cent- ury of mellow living ahead, time to travel, to contemplate your navel, to read all those books, to cultivate your own garden, before you are quietly shuffled off to one of those institutions with the ghastly names, like Sunset Haven or Trail's End Paradise. I am here to state, quietly but withgrim ferocity, ty, that this is one of the Big Lies perpetrated by our society on young people when they are raising their children. It's a lot of poppycock, chaps. Take my advice and have all the fun you can while you're young. Go to Europe, buy a farm, take a year off, Do what you want to now, because you won't have time when you're middle-aged. I just sat down here for a minute, to stop my head spinning, and it struck me that it's the first chance I've had to sit down and take my usual cool perspective of life for weeks. Life is not exactly a gay, mad whirl when you're middle-aged. It's more like a case of the blind staggers. Just for example. If we're not running in one direction to see our two grandsons, we're running in another to see their 83 -year-old great-grandfather. Recently, in a wave of good feeling, we decided to treat my daughter and her husband to a • night out. They are students, broke, and never get out. So I hawked up the price of dinner and a show, and my old lady told them we'd be delighted to baby-sit. • Fine. Any grandparents would do it. But it was akin to a disaster. First-born grandbabby, Pokey, was so wild with excitement at seeing his favourite toys, servants and sycophants, that he ran around the apartment like a demented chipmunk, up and down over the furniture, leaping into arms, jabbering and laughing and roaring with defiance at any effort to cool him down. And the other guy, the little, fat new one, is a bawler. He doesn't even bawl at the drop of a hat. He bawls at will. And at Suse. That's my wife. I'm Will, The young couple left at 6:30, baby asleep, Pokey fed. Two minutes later, the bawler was at it. Two hours later, he was still at it. Somehwere in there I'd managed to stick our dinner (a frozen chicken pie) in the oven, At 8:30, my wife was sitting with him on her knee, trying to give him a bottle with one hand and spear a bit of chicken pie with the other. Across from her, I sat with Pokey on my knee, feeding him every second bit of my meagre portion. At 9:20 we had them both asleep. We collapsed. At 9:45 little fatso woke up and bleated for titty. He scorns the bottle. Suffice it to say it was a long evening. But that was unusual, you say. Most of our life is pretty tranquil and even in tone. Well, that's what you think, Buster. I didn't even curl this past winter, and scarcely had time to blow my' nose. Right now, aside from a full day's teaching, I am doing the • Middle -age muddle advertising and publicity for the school Open House, preparing to be a guest on a panel discussion and modeling for an art class, In my spare time, I mark papers and prepare • lessons, Modelling, did 1 say? Yep. I'm a model. The art department at the school wanted a live model They conned me into it by pretending they wanted some- body with character in his face. Well, I have lots of that: wrinkles, broken nose, bloodshot eyes, the lot, Later I discovered the reason I was chosen was because I was the only teacher who had a spare that period, except for one woman teacher, and she refused to model in the nude, I didn't. I was all for it. So were the student painters. But the puritanical old administration wouldn't allow it, They were afraid they'd have girl art students fainting all over the place. Not in awe. In horror, So I have to do it in a loincloth, with a mask over my eyes so they won't know who I am. You think I'm busy? You ought to see my wife. Aside •from her regular housework, she teaches piano, knits and sews (simultan- eously, it seems to me), prepares the income tax return, chooses' and uses new paint and wall- I paper, runs around trying to find clothes for two grandsons, 'and gallops down to Simpson's order office to return things three times I a week (it was she who put Eaton's catalogue out of bus- iness.) And we haven't even started ,on the garden yet. So, Just a word of wisdom to you young people. Don't swallow that bromide about a serene middle age. It's about as serene as Saturday night in the corner saloon. dather ye rosebuds while ye may, Ye won't have time when ye're ,old and gray. r l : L'h• L}(t •y 4:, L• :} r 1 l • i ' •{�,.• t , yam, v,�}y };{ •ti %:' ,} q':,.:• {,}„+ i R•'�.YTG.+.�k•}Y.{SS:{444:XL�4�+•',{k:4 LL L{'K}{b}::•:V}4::tiF{L #'. 0114E11'8 h }}: AI& Mother's Day is May 9th .ati.

Report from Queen's Park, Dairy producers protest at. Queen's Park BY MURRAY GAUNT Harry Parrott, Colleges and Universities Minister, said this week he will make an announce- ment within two weeks about "differentials" in university tui- tion fees for foreign students. Foreign students on student visas comprise five percent of Ontario University undergrad- uates and fifteen percent of graduate students, It appears that Ontario hat' decided to charge foreign stud- ents a foreign student fee surcharge, and only the' amount remains to be decided. A number of angry dairy ' farmers turned up at the Legislature this week to to protest the recent milk quota reductions of fifteen percent by the Federal Government, The Provincial Government also has an involvement through the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, and also through the provincial program called IMPIP, which was a program the Province announced in July of 1973 designed to encourage industrial milk production in the Province, Now there is a surplus of milk, and many dairy producers feel that, since they were encouraged to increase production by the Province, the Province now has a responsibility to assist them through this difficult adjustment period. In conversations I have had over the past numberof weeks, and particularly the last few days, with the Minister and Deputy Minister of Agriculture, 1 am told that the Ministry is studying several alternatives to try and assist producers to cope with their Arthritis Society hold meeting Members of the Board of the Arthritis Society attended the Annual Region Meeting of theArthritis Society held at the Walkerton Golf and Country Club this past weekend, where over 75 volunteers gathered from Western Ontario. • Dr, Manfred Harth*, Director of the Rheumatic Diseases Unit of the University Hospital, London, was guest medical speaker. Dr. Harth told of the advancements being made in the medical research of arthritis, with the Society awarding a record $1,000,000 in research and education grants in 1975 in the Province of Ontario, Miss Catherine McKeen, Owen Sound President, outlined the "C.A.R.S, SPECIAL" which will be held on May 29, telecast by CKNX, -Wingham, where a goal of $18,000 has been set for a specific research project. Ross Morrison, Executive Director of the Ontario Division, outlined the changes recently made in Region boundaries, and a vote was taken on names submitted by the volunteers for the new Region, which covers the Counties of Grey, Bruce, Perth, Huron, Dufferin, and North Wellington, resulting in a new Region now to be known as the Bluewatcr Region. News items from Huronview Mr. Dick Roorda of Bruccfield led the song service on Sunday evening with several musical numbers by the Clinton Christian Reformed Youth Choir. Marie Flynn and Norman Speir provided the old tyme music for the Monday program Morgan Dalton sang two solo numbers for the sing song and the Clinton Christian Reformed volunteers assisted with activities. The "Family Night" program was arranged by Miss Louise Lovett of Summerhill. Miss Lovett assists with music in some of the' schools as well as giving I individual piano lessons. The pupils playing piano solos were Kathryn MacDonald, Judy Wise, Susan VanEgmond, Wesley Delve, Kathy Penfound, Eliza- beth Reid, Mary Gibson, Jackie Norman, Brenda Harris, Anita Hallam and Barbara Gross. Karen McGregor, of Brucefield, entertained with two Scottish dances and played a medley of songs on the accordian. Karen is a teacher of Scottish dancing and two of her students, Stella Wilson and Joe Anne Carter danced solo and duet numbers. Mrs. Elsie Henderson who gave piano lessons for several years express- ed the appreciation of the residents. Mr. Ed Stiles, of Goderich, played organ favourites on Thursday afternoon 'and accom- panied Mrs. Betty Rogers with vocal solos. v :11!1:::1 .1r... • 't rh:,+.,H.;;. r..{, r .. ¢..rylf.f::•r.•:.'r,: i:'Jri,l,.; r;,{.,, � J •r . �: �: :: •1111..• � 1111 y��l.%!r,.r.•:%:Y •if:.ir:. »1111... r..... r .. r.... .. r..J :i:fr%:•'!k{'ftii•r ti{{!•:! :•� :•ii:::::.::::.•riri:•::ti•i •:: ti•'::::•ii •. r. :•,:{r iiii WEMADEAGOODDEAL .„,, •r r: i,iiii :::::, „,„ !,,,,,„„„ E 1974 Plymouth, Fury 3, 4 door hardtop iiil 1974 Astre, 4 speed with radioiiiii >' Iii 1974 Dodge, 8 automatic, power iiil steering and brakes, 18,000 miles. .ii, > � YOU GET THE SAVINGS WITH THESE USED CARS! • 2 - 1973.

First, in order to maintain our program of research and education and solidify Canada's enviable position of having one of the best arthritis control programs in the world, it is extremely important that our financial goal is reached.” "Second, the cost of fund raising and administration must be held in check and kept at between 8 percent and 10 percent. In view of escalating costs in most areas, this will be a difficult but not impossible task.” It was announced that Mrs. Roma Sargent of the Owen Sound Branch was appointed as Reg- ional Chairman, who will be a representative member of the Ontario Division Board of Directors.
