Clinton Hospital wins court battle Open at least 6 more months Provincial government funding for Clinton Public Hospital will be extended for at least another six months following a court victory for the hospital and three others on Monday. Yet despite the court decision that said the cabinet order to close Clinton Hospital, Chesley Hospital, Durham Hospital and Doctors Hospital in Toronto, the govern- ment gave indication Tuesday it is going to fight to have the hospitals closed. Actting health minister Dr. Betty Stephenson said the government will appeal the ruling and if the appeal fails may bring in legislation to close the hospitals. • Divisional court in Toronto ruled the government's method of ordering four hospitals closed was illegal. Dr. Stephenson told reporters outside the legislature the restraint program is based on "good sound reasons." She said she doubts it should be thrown up in the air because of the court decision. .The decision specifically affects hospi- talsin Clinton, Chesley, Durham and Toronto. However, the province ordered five other hospitals closed, using the same method. The government has two immediate options open to it - appealing the decision to a higher court or bringing in legislation allowing the closure order. NDP leader Stephen Lewis said his party would appose any such legislation. Liberal leader Stuart It was the little' sale that grew and grew when the Blyth U.C.W. held a garage sale on Smith would not say what his party's Saturday.

A third option that might be open to the government would be to strangle the hospitals by withholding funds without Morris township up 5.7 mills Morris township taxpayers got the word last week that their taxes will go up this year despite declines in the county and township levies. The township levy dropped to 20.29 mills this year for farm and residential compared to 24.88 last year (24.39 compared to 22.15 business and commercial), The county Icvy is 18.18 mills farm and residential and 21.38 mills business and commercial compared to 19.68 and 23.15 last year. Board of Trade memberships record high The Blyth Board of Trade held a Director's meeting on Wednesday, May 5, 1976. Mrs. Kay Hesselwood, chairman of the membership committee, reported that 42 businesses- have become paid up members which represents approximately 90 percent of the eligible businesses. Mrs. Hesselwood also indicated that she expects to increase this percentage as some of the remaining merchants have expressed a desire to join. Some concern was shown among the members as to the increase in the incidents of shoplifting and the issuing of worthless cheques. The Directors realize the seriousness of these crimes and will be studying methods to discourage this problem. The date of the next general meeting was set for Tuesday, June 22, 1976 at 6:45 in the Legion Hall with Mr. Paul Ross, of the law firm of Menzies, Ross being asked to be our guest speaker. Mr.. Ross has recently opened an office in the Village. But the school levies vert the culprits. They are (last year's rates in brackets) elementary -farm and residential 23.96 (19.94 business and commercial, 26.62 (22.15); and secondary, farm and residen- tial, 23.07 mills (15'.71) and business and commercial, 25.63. mills (17.45). It means a total mill rate increase of 5.7 mills for public school supporters. The separate school rate is 28.84 mills for farm and residential compared to 23.12 last year. Separate school supporters will pay 90.23 mills compared to 83.39 last year. in other business at the May meeting of council. Mr. McGregor and Mr. D. Kennedy from the Wingham Recreation Committee were present to seek support of the town's recreation program. Thomas Miller was appointed to look after repairs to the Blyth Creek Drain; Sam Pletch for repairs to the Bird Drain and Robert Grasby, on the McNeil Drain. Nine tenders were received for the extension to the Belgrave Storm Sewer with the tender of Bre-Aar Excavating Ltd. of London being accepted for $18,929. Approval was given for the payment of $15 fees to the Huron County Road Superintendents Association. Mrs. Carol Collins and Joe Steffler from Walton were present at the meeting to seek . a grant for improvements to the ball park., • The tender of Donegan's Haulage Ltd. of Listowel to supply, load and deliver 8,000 cu. yards of gravel for the fourth line at 47 cents per yard and 15,000 cu. yds. for the first line at 69 cents per yard was accepted. The road superintendent was authorized to purchase chloride from Pollard Bros., Harrow at $82.50 per ton. specifically ordering them closed. MPP Vernon Singer (L - Wilson Heights) said he doesn't know whether the government could, in effect, discriminate against individual hospitals by doing this. Mr. Singer, who was present for the court's decision, said the court based its decision on a section of the Public Hospitals Act which allows cabinet to revoke approval for the operation of a hospital. Mr. Singer said the court ruled the power to revoke this approval involved only administrative matters. In other words, the legislation would allow the closing on the basis of inefficiency but not for reasons of financial restraint. Mr. Singer said the province was conceded all the hospitals are efficiently operated. He said an election over the issue is possible. The government, he said, could 'decide to bring in legislation, have it defeated in the house and call an election using its entire restraint program as the main issue. Mr. Lewis called thie'',ei'i`sion'""lf "stunning repudiation of the government's decision to close the small community hospitals." Three of the hospitals were to close June 1. The fourth, Doctors Hospital in Toronto, was to close July 1. Meanwhile, the question of the ability of the federal government to block any move by the provincial government to withhold funds from the hospitals remains unclear. The agreement between Ottawa and Ontario on the funding of hospital services ;pacifically lists the institutions which are eligible for funding. The agreement of both governments may be necessary before individual hospitals can be removed from the agreement. Good new budget for Hullett residents A pleasant surprise was delivered to Hullett township taxpayers last week when township council set the miilrate for the township: it was down. The big reason for the drop was a surplus collected for county purposes last year which led to a lower county levy this year. The county rate dropped from 24.5 mills residential and farm and 29 mills business and commercial to only 13.6 mills and 16 mills this year. On the other hand, the levy for education purposes was up dramatically. Elementary levy is 25 mills residential and 28 commercial and business compared to 21,5 and 24 last year. Secondary school levy is '23.4 and 26 this year compared to 17 and 19 last year. The Separate School levy is also higher at 33.2 residential and farm and 36.8 for commercial and business compared to 25.18 and 27.9 last year. The township councillors also reduced their own mill rate dropping to 23.5 residential and farm from 24.5 last year and to 27.6 commercial and business compared to 29 last year. The mill rate for Auburn is up to 16.4 mills this year compared to 15 mills last year. The Londesboro street light rate is • 4.4 mills compared to 4.5 last year. In other business at the May meeting of Hullett council building permits were issued to John Beers, implement shed; Mrs. Violet Cohen, suit porch on verandah; W. Cunningham, machine shed; John Riley, tool shed; T. Tiesma, drive shed; Keith Allen, house and garage; J. DeJong, house; William Rodger, addition to house and sow barn. A severence was approved for Hugh Millar for lot 31 and 34 Hagyards Survey. Tile drain loan applications were accepted from Dave Middleton and John Wammes and the clerk was instructed to write them saying that money might not be available for the loans and that they should check with the inspector before beginning work. Arnold Krotz was present at the meeting to try to allay the council's dissatisfaction with the recent purchase of a truck for the township. The tender of Pollard Brothers to supply chloride for township roads was accepted at $82.50 per ton. Court of revision was held on the Riley drain with George Counter and Donald Knott., present. Mr. Counter appealed his assessment. Adjustments were made to his assessment reducing the benefit from $6500 to $3500 with the township picking up $2000 of this and Mr. Nott, by his own consent, picking up the other $1000 with the understanding that the entrance extension of 10 feet be added to the overall , cost of the ditch. Tenders for the drain and for the Van Baaren and Wagner drains are to be opened May 18. G. 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 12, 1976. Westfield and i district news items BY MRS.

The same farm for a separate school supporter will cost an extra $73.80. At a meeting of council Monday afternoon, the total municipal budget was set for the year at $228,083 of which $76,000 has to be raised through taxation. Books in the Library A GIRL LIKE ME • BY ANITA LOOS This is an autobiography of Anita Loos, the author of over two hundred screen plays including the classic "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". In Hollywood she wrote scenarios for many famous actors and actresses --in fact she practically invented movies. She knew everyone there was to know; she was everywhere there was to go; her opinions were sought on all matters and they were heeded too; today she can tell a story about H.L. Mencken, Alice Toklas, Clark Gable or Elsa Maxwell. When she was a schoolgirl she made a resolution never to be bored, and she made good her resolve. Her highly individual point of view shines through this book and it is a privilege to meet this unhelpless brunette with brains who made a, historic institution out of a dumb blonde. THE DARK SWALLOWS.. BY HELEN GRIFFITHS The. dark swallows of the title are those that witness the doomed passion of Bernardo and Elvira -- young people from two different villages on the austere Castilian plain of Burgos. At first it is the clash of opposing villages and hostile parents but in the end it is the far greater conflict of the Spanish Civil War. The theme of this novel is the annihilation of love by outside forces and it is against a majestic Spanish setting that the drama of these young lovers is played out in almost a theatrical form of tragedy. THE LOOK OF EAGLES BY JOHN TAINTOR FOOTE Few boys or girls would recognize a story of race' horses from the title of this book, but some "horse lovers" can apprec- iate the greatness of a horse with just one look. Perhaps this story can help us realize that horserac- ing is a real sport, not just a business. The Look of Eagles may well help us find real enjoyment as we watch these fine animals perform at the track or watch a telecast of some of the famous races in the next few weeks. MAGIC OR NOT?• BY EDWARD EAGER It was exciting to move from the city to home in Connecticut, but when Laura and her brother, James, discovered a well in the garden which seemed to have rare powers they were very happy. Moreover, these rare powers seemed to be almost magical. Then, they were pretty sure they'd have an unusual summer. The idea of magic led them on and helped them do good deeds. The author leaves it to the reader to decide whether the fascinating web of events and adventures woven that summer is magic or not. The county levy has been set at 19.8 mills down 3.4 to raise $74,485 for the county of Huron requisition. The decrease is due because certain services of the county this year are to be provided on a population basis, namely, Children's Aid Society, Huronview Social Services, Health, Library. The township will pay to the Huron County Board of Education this year a levy of $60,104 for elementary public and $81,982 secondary school. A levy of $27,219 will be paid to the Huron -Perth County Rcl.... Catholic Separate School Board. Other major expenditures include $169,035 for roads, $11,800 for fire protectik'1, $23,800 for general government and $15,300 for parks and recreation services. In other business, building permits were granted to Meade Baker, Lot part 25, Con, 8; Laverne Hugill, Lot 35, Con. 4; Willard Bennewies, Lot 1, Con 8; Francis A. Dolmage, Lot E228, Con 9; Louis O'Reilly, Lot W2 12, Con. 3 and Don Kelly, Lot N211, Con. 4. Council members will inform the Huron County Council's local study committee they are not in favour of reducing the represent- ation of deputy reeves to county council as proposed in the recommendations for county restructuring. The opinion of the members was that provincial regulations provided for the deputy reeves on county council, not the local municipal councils so they would not interfere. "They (deputy reeves) are in there doing a good job, why not leave them there," Councillor William Leeming said. Council has decided that appli- cants, who have already request- ed tile drain loan, will receive 50 percent of the estimated cost and that no further applications will be accepted at the present time until the situation can be assessed at a later date. Last year, council approved tile drain loans amounting to $118,000 but this year the provincial government has set the township's limit at $94,900 due to government restraint. Tax installment dates arc June 25 and December 1 this year. Wettable powder herbicide THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 12, 1976.

Court decision a victory for small towns Excitement over the court decision that the provincial government had no right to close Clinton Hospital and three other hospitals has been of the cautious nature so far. We've been through this kind of thing often enough to know that governments have a way of getting things done and if the provincial government wants the hospitals closed it will succeed somehow. Still the decision was a victory. it may be that this will only be a six-month reprieve for the hospitals but its a much bigger victory in psycholigical terms. We've been conditioned over the years through losing time and again to the decisions of big government to think that it was hopeless to fight back. We'd make a big noise in protest to this or that closing or this or that government decision and either be ignored, or given some meagre concession to make it look like the government was listening. Anything we've won has been in the form of a handout from the government. But this, as one spokesman said, is not a humanitarian decision but a legal one. It shows us that there is some protection in the law that all the cards aren't stacked against us. The decision also puts a curb on the expanding power of the cabinet to make decisions without Legislative approval. On the more practical side of things, it also greatly narrows the options of the government on the issue. The Health Ministry will, of _ course, appeal the decision. Somehow, looking at the wording of the decision of the lower court, it looks like that appeal might be lost. That means the only option seems to be to try to put through new legislation to change the rules governing hospitals. Both the Liberals and New Democrats seem to be in a position that they must vote against such legislation, thus forcing an election. Two months ago, that's just what the David government would have wanted. Then it would have propelled them into a big majority victory. But subtly the mood of the public seems to be changing. The longer the little hospitals fight back, the more they seem to be gaining public sympathy in the cities where it counts. it could be that if an election is fought on the hospital issue this summer or fall, it might lead to an upset win by one of the opposition parties. Either way, it means a victory for the hospitals. But on the short term the big news is that the hospitals will have six more months to operate and that means that jobs will be saved, and probably a few lives too. That is an important victory. How to cope with sexploitation The storm of protest over violence in T.V. is at last having an effect that will be evident in future programing. Now another trend needs to be challenged -- the fascination with sex. This is evident in some situation comedies spiced up with bar -room humor, leering dialogue and seduction scenes. Unfortunately these shows catch whole families off guard in prime viewing hours. So maybe it's time to raise another chorus of protests and chastise the sponsors of • such programs by boycotting the products they advertise. As for TV movies, which can be pretty gamey, the problem is. simpler. Most are shown in later hours to an adult audience. And viewers are often warned in advance that the scenes and language may be offensive. Such warnings, in fact, may well be used more widely. Theatres showing no -holds -barred films must label them as adult or restricted. But does this prepare decent people for shocking language, nudity and explicit sex? Not at all. Similar warnings flashed on the screen at the start of a picture come too late. Why shouldn't theatres be compelled to put strongly worded, highly visible signs near the box office to tip off the public as to the true nature of the entertainment inside? Why not adopt similar cautionary statements on the jackets of lurid novels liberally sprinkled with four-letter words? in fact, no commercial interests should assume that everyone enjoys highly sex -oriented, vulgar entertainment. BY BILL SMILEY You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make hint drink. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's car, To these old adages might be added another, closely related. You can't create a fluent, sparkling, bilingual cosmopolitan out of a dull, middle-class, middle-aged civil servant. I'm glad to see that some semblance of sense has seeped into •the senility surrounding the approach to bilingualism at Ottawa, Keith Spicer, the grand poobah of bilingualism, appointed by the Trudeau government to wet - nurse one of its favorite babies, has finally reached a conclusion that and average 12 -year-old could have arrived at, without undue mental strain, in about 15 minutes, He decided, and had the courage to admit, that the government program for creating bilingualism in the civil service as bass ackwards. Some unkind people might say that Ottawa civil servants have always spoken with a double tongue, even when they had only one language, and why have them speaking doubletalk in two? Instead of pouring millions into converting stodgy civil servants into connoisseurs of French language and culture, Mr. Spicer concedes, the money should be spent in the schools, teaching French to children. Great think- ing Keith. Anyone with any knowledge of learning a second language could have told you that two years ago. Ordinary, every -day common sense and • experience shows us how true this is. Take an average family of immigrants to Canada, German, Italian, whatever you like. The parents have great difficulty in learning English, and "bird" French with tears. year -or two, To hear them chirp and prattle away in the idiom, you'd never know that they weren't born and bred in English-speaking Canada. For an adult, learning a new isI language ge horribly Y hard work. And for a bureaucrat or civil servant, it must be doubly difficult, because their minds are constitutionally unable to admit anything new, Canadians who want to get somewhere in Canada, whether it's in business or politics, learn English because they have to. Whatever the pundits say, this is primarily an English-speaking country. Most French-Canadian cabinet ministers are at least adequate in English. Some politicians, like Pierre Trudeau and Claude Wagner, speak English beauti- fully, far better than most of their Anglophone peers and opponents. But when an Anglo politician speaks French, however atroc- iously, we look upon him or her with amazement, as though it were a sign -of genius. What hyprocisy, in a country that is -theoretically, bilingual. (I still wince every time John Dicfen- baker strays into what he fondly believes is French.) As you may have gathered, I have strong feelings about bilingualism. Unlike a great•many Canadians, I ani all for it. But the government's approach to creat- ing that blessed state has been at best a farce, a charade, at worst a swindle of the tax -payers. Of course the beginnings must be with the children! On the surface, the study of French in our schools has been encouraged by government. In fact, the moneys for a practical, realistic approach to learning French have been held back from the schools and poured into that bottomless pit at Ottawa. French has practically been abolished as a prerequisite for university entrance. As a result, and because learning it requires some real effort, students shy away from it and look for courses. Result, French clases in our schools have shrunk deplorably. This, despite the fact that French is being taught better, and in a more lively, interesting, and realistic way, than ever before, (1 retain a strong accent all their lives. Their children, even though their only language is their native one when they arrive here, and even though it is spoken almost exclusively at home, are com- pletely at ease in English within a Report from Queen's Park studied French for five years in high school, three in university, and can barely proposition a girl, let alone order a meal in French,) O,K, Let's start all over again with our bilingual program, and forgetthat f ilure in painful a Ottawa. Start teaching it to kids in Grade 1. Keep it up. Make it a prerequisite for uniersity. Blyth resident dies MAUDE PERCELLA RADFORD Maude Percella Radford of Blyth died May 7, 1976 in Clinton Public Hospital. She was 76 years of age. She was born in • Hullett township, the daughter of the late John and Mary Shobbrook on Feb. 25, 1901 and lived in the township until her marriage. On October 29, 1924 she married Norman Hill Radford who prede- ceased her. The couple lived in East Wawanosh, Blyth, Parkhill, Collingwood, Lynden and Blyth. She was a life member of the United Church Women and a member of the Blyth United Church, and the Eastern Star. She is survived by two children: Kenneth Ross Radford, Port Colbourne and Leona Shirley (Mrs. Don) Snell of Kitchener. Also surviving arc five grand- children and two great grand- children. One brother, Bert Shobbrook of Londcsboro and one sister, Vera (Mrs. Pcrcc) Gibbins of Clinton also survive. A brother Lorne predeceased her. The funeral service took place Monday, May 10 from Tasker Memorial Chapel in Blyth with Rev. C. Wittich officiating. Burial was in Blyth Union Cemetery. Three grandsons, Leslie Snell, David Snell and Bill Soper, and Bill and Bob Gibbings and Gill Crawford served as Pallbearers. Flowerbearcrs were Donald Young, Jack Wilson, Rudy Liebold and Bill Dalrymple. Province could face polio. crisis BY MURRAY GAUNT The Acting Minister of Health was warned that Ont' could face a moderate polio epidemic in five or ten years unless children and young adults continue to have regular booster shots 'against the disease. She said that inoculation cannot be made mandatory, but a regular anti -polio programme should be maintained by every- one until the age of forty. First inoculation shots are important, but it is equally vital to maintain a programme of immunization.. The Ministry of Health has estimated that as many as 25 per cent of the children entering Grade 1 in this province this year will not have received proper immunization against diseases such as polio, diphtheria and rubella (German Measles) • probably because people have tended to become complacent about these diseases as there has not been an epidemic for some years.

They will be on display in the sanctuary there on the afternoon of May 9 and all are invited to view them. They are spectacu- larly large and beautiful. Worship was conducted by Cora Thistle,and Bruce Guy. They have been serving on a London Conference Task Force; on the Charismatic Movement. They testified to startling and deeply moving experiences as part of the group - which was, led by Rev, Bernard Warren of. the Bezek I . Centre in Campbellville. One point emphasized was the degree' to which the basic principles ofl the movement are a part of our . Basis of Union - for example: the living, active Holy Spirit, the life of trust and prayer. Some discussion followed. The central issue was "speaking in tongues" which, it was agreed, the Apostle Paul had taught was not for all people and all occasions. The 19 year old program' called "Singtime" which is carried on CKNX Television, has to change its day due to scheduling of national, advertising. The Board of Directors and Program Com- mittee recommended up to ten "Specials" to be aired in the early evening of a week day. Details are still being negotiated. Local choirs will continue to be involved but theme prorams and new "taping" arrangements will be made, The Presbytery's Resource Centre, now in Ontario St. Church, Clinton, is being studied by a special committee headed by Rev. Bert Daynard, with a view to possible enlargement and longer hour staffing. The Presbytery heard a preliminary report which stated that enthusiastic personnel and convenient location are vital. Ideas are being received gladly. The Presbytery approved the Call of St. John's, Stratford, to the Rev. R. Bruce Scott; and the Call of Atwood to the Rev. Harry Stevens. Two students leave for ordination: Mr. Robert McMullen, who has served Millbank, is going to the Maritime Conference and Mr. Norman Patterson, who has served Fordwich since January, is going to Newfoundland. The Presbytery thanked both and wished them well. The Moncreiff congregation, on the Walton Pastoral Charge, has "voted to cease to exist as a congregation on June 30, 1976."Walton has requested the continuing services of the Rev. Ed Baker and asked Presbytery i consider boundary changes. Rev. Joh,, Roberts moved that the Presbytery send a letter "of warm commendation to the people of the congregations of Fordwich and Kurtzville for their tremendous support of their own and Presbytery and Conference officers through their ordeal", The Presbytery enthusiastically endorsed this action, Rev. George Ball communi- cated the good news that Dr. Betty Bridgeman and Miss Radley, who had been missing in Angola have been found and are remaining there to do some of their regular work. He also called attention to the new book by Douglas Roche "Justice not Charity", which is a thought provoking look at Canada's status in the world. He reported, as well, that conversations are taking place with the Presbyter- ian Church in Canada, not about possible union, but about b etter co-operation, Two rounds of meetings have been held, The Young Adult Camp at Camp Menesetung on May 14-16 still has some space for 18-25 year olds.

Michael Boylgcr of Monkton, will conic with slides, etc. to talk about camping with any inter- ested group in a congregation.

PG.. 7. • from the Minister's Study; Love in the Home BY REV, CECIL WITTICH BLYTH UNITED CHURCH A teacher once asked her children to bring to school a picture of the most beautiful lady in the world. When the children arrived home from school, they began looking through magazines and books for the picture their teacher requested. The next day the teacher asked the boys and girls to show their pictures and tell them about them. One little girl brought a picture of a lady with a lovely face, a large smile and wavy hair. Another brought one of a lady with elegant clothing which made her look most attractive. The third child brought a tattered picture of a lady with old clothes and no smile. The teacher and the children could not understand how she would be the most beautiful lady in all the world, The teacher asked the little boy why he thought his lady was the most beautiful. The little boy answered, "Because she is my mother and I love her." The members of your family can be the most beautiful people in the world. Someone has said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," Your wife can be the most beautiful woman in the world when you love her, You don't need to look at other women, You have her right in your own home and she is yours through marriage. Your husband is the most handsome man in the world when you love him. You don't need to look at other men. You have him in your home and he is yours through marriage. Your parents arc the greatest in the world when you love them. You don't need to envy other children because of their parents. You have your own parents in your own home. Your children can be the most beautiful in the world when you love them. You don't need to wish you didn't have them. They are yours because you brought them into the world. Beauty is within your own family when you love. And the love•that creates that kind of beauty comes from God and was revealed through the gift of His Son. The Gospel describes that love in these words, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." (1 Corinthians 13:3) The Gospel also states, "We love, because He first loved us." (IJohn 41-19) When we let God love us and allow His love to express itself in our homes, then the members of our family become the most beautiful people in all the world, ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••\ I. _n_••••••••1••_••1••_••••••.►••_o_.• .•••••••••••••••.•••••••••••••••••••••• i 1• i % • 1 I • iSI•_ll_•._.•1u_•._•._,•V•4•_.._•._,._.._.•_.,_.._•. _ . ._P_••_••_••_ 1 hurcbflrus CHURCH OF GOD McConnel Street, Blyth CHURCH SERVICE: 11 a.m. 1 ..,.._..,..,..,.._..,.p.._..,•. .t.._l..._....."..'"'..,.._.•,.". 1 1 THE ANGLICAN CHURCH i i.

Michael Ward puts ove, inspiration into his pots Michael Ward concentrates hard as he takes a large pot off the potter's wheel and puts it on a shelf to dry. He brings a lot of training to his job.—Staff Photo. Take a hearty dose of English tradition, throw in a big helping of Chinese influence, add some Canadian inspiration and mix with liberal amounts of dedica- tion, skill and hard work and you've got the new Michael Ward Pottery Design Studio in Blyth. The new shop on the main street of the village across from the famous Bainton Old Mill opened earlier this year and is likely to become nearly as much a centre of shopping attention as the older neighbour. Michael is that area's first full-time profes- sional potter and he brings a strong art background to his craft. He was born in Fleetwood, Lancashire England, a bustling fishing port of about 200,000 people. At age nine he went away to school and got his first taste of village life. Later, when he went to the Lancashire College of Art and Design he got to know even more about living on the edge of a rural area and grew to like it. While he was a student he lived for a couple of years in a monastery that sat on top of the ridge of mountains called the Pennines that runs through England's lake country. It was a beautiful setting. It was the first time he'd ever noticed the beauty of the stars at night. It was then he began to appreciate getting out into the countryside. It's probably there too that the seeds were planted for him to come The English tradition of educe - eventually to a village like Blyth I tion in the arts is very evident to set up his first studio. when one talks to the 26 -year-old He came to Canada soon after artist for any length of time. graduating from college in Those who want to train in the 1969-70 to Galt where he had arts in England take a five year several jobs including teaching course, two years of general part time at the Doon School of in-depth study of various fields Fine Arts under the late Tom and three more years in special- Caley. It was here he met his ized study. Those first two years future wife, Karen. A native of of study were days that started at Singapore, she had moved to 9:30 in the morning and didn't Toronto and come to the Doon end until 9:30 at night, and School for a course. Two years ago Michael took a trip to Southeast Asia where, he came under the influence of the Chinese culture and studied the beauty of their pottery. He visited friends at the Sam Mui Juang pottery in Singapore and saw how a commercial pottery works. He was amazed both at the skill and the speed of the craftsmen and it's been effecting his work ever since. His pottery shows the influence of the oriental tradition. He makes pottery that is utilitarian but beautiful. There is a plain line decorated in greys and browns and a white line decorated with drawings. All are the kind of pottery that's meant to be used, but also is beautiful. Unlike most potters, it's also turned out in relatively large numbers. It has to be, of course, when you're trying to make your living from it and when you're spending full time on pottery. The speed of the work he saw in Singapore, Michael says, has helped him to increase • his own output though he's still far from matching that of the Asians. He can, he says, turn out a dozen coffee mugs in an hour. That includes only the actual throwing of the pots on the wheel and doesn't include such time- consuming things as adding the handles or the drying, decorating and glazing of the product. holidays were shorter than here in North American too. There was a great stress on drawing and Michael spent eight hours a week just drawing. He likes drawing so well, he says, he'd like to be able to get away from pottery for a while and just sit and draw, to give himself a break and some new inspiration, but setting up a new business comes first. The final three years of his education were in environmental design in textiles and printed surface design but his practical work was biassed towards pottery and, he admits, he spent more time in the pot shop than he should have and ended up having to work like heck in the third year to make up for his lost time. His study of textile design, while seemingly a different field altogether than pottery; indeed helps him out in this present craft, he says... Ites enabled mg to do things on pots that have almost died out," he says. There are many fine potters around but little emphasis on the decoration of the pottery. This emphasis on decoration is one of the effects of the influence of Chinese work on his pottery. "Throughout history they've always had a feeling of form and a 'standard for craftsmanship,". he says. The Chinese pottery has feeling, feeling of solidarity without the clumsy look : of the German pottery, It has a grace and flare and a touch of elegance, he says. One of the things he is most proud of in his own work, he says, is the craftsmanship. The English tradition of slip - ware is also an influence in his work. Slipware was the pottery of almost medieval times which was basic functional pottery. At first it was just for the lords and ladies but later as time progressed with the advent of Wedgewood and • •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••4i•••••••••••• Grand View Lufl,h'. • Now have Tote -A -Meal ' , , • • CHICKEN & SPARE RIB • • r' • • • 1O1�'-�nu��i fy• • , • .µ TAKEOUT PRICES , { r • • • 7 �'` STUDENT SPECIAL 1 PC+ .99 "� ,.A • *' �3x with F.

His interest, he says, is in good quality basic functional ware at a reasonable price. He can't pro- duce pottery to the standards of some of the imported, massed produced pottery, he says, because these use molds and can produce it far less expensively.

When he , operated a workshop in Paris, Ontario before moving to Blyth in December to build a new studio, his work was retailed in Toronto, Edmonton, Montreal and Vancouver through CARA shops. In the future he's hoping to be able to produce whole place settings in his studio including plates. These can be produced on his present equipment, he says, but not to the standards he wants. So plates will not be a part of the line he sells until he can get new equipment. To be good, he says, plates should be completely uniform so they stack properly. Plates also need special care in drying or they will warp. • Karen gets involved in the work of the studio. too.

If you're self-employed, he says, you have to be able to get away by yourself and reflect on where you're going in your work, He's a very philosophical man given to deep thought on many subjects. He sees life divided into three sections, for instance: the years until about 20 when a person is. sucking up knowledge, the years from abut 20-25 when he consolidates knowledge and the years after 25 when that knowledge is put to use with some degree of confidence. He's entering the third phase. Though his main aim and love is pottery, he has far reaching interests. He is, for instance, a qualified machinist, from training he picked up as part of the broad based education program at his college. He made a living at this after coming to Canada for some time. He can also weld, He dreads ever having to go back to work in a factory, however. He's more interested in things like making quality furniture. He'd hate to be typecast into just being involved in pottery, he says, because someday he might like to get into furniture making. He also has a deep interest in architecture, in fact probably would have been an architect if it hadn't been for family problems and the fact it meant about 10 years of schooling. He loves Canada, he says. While at the Doon school he began to develop a feel for Canadian tradition, particularly the fine tradition of Canadian stoneware that developed a ccntury ago in such places as Brantford and Nova Scotia. Canadian pottery he says, seems to have more German roots than English. But, though he loves Canada, he criticises some things about it. He's afraid, he says, that'Canada is heading down the same road as England. In the year he grad- uated, he says, 40 percent of all English college graduates that year emmigrated. They just couldn't see, he says, trying to make use of their skills under the increasing bureacratic entangle- ment of English society. He's concerned about such trends in Canada and upset by the taxation system for craftsmen. He says that such people as potters, handmade jewellery ;makers, leather workers, weavers and , EXPERT SERVICE TO Color and Black/White . STEREO'S •RADIO S TAPE DECKS -FEN RS V.'s AYSAWEEK , furniture makers are being hit hard by the 12 percent federal goverhmerir manufacturing' tax. ' It's a hidden tax that goes on not only the manufacture's materials involved, but his time as well. It puts the craftsperson in a bind because he must worry about keeping his price within what the buyer can reasonably afford to spend, and yet has to remember that 12 percent off the top goes to the federal government. Provincial sales tax isn't so bad, he says, because at least the buyer knows where the money is going. "As a one man craftsperson," he says, "it is impossible for the average person to believe that my craft is being taxed at the same 'race as a car made by General Motors," Still being out on his own allows him to get more out of life.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 12, 1976.: DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 am a woman in my 60's who works as a volunteer in a nursing home, For a long time I have witnessed the impact of the clerical collar. Even though it may be uncomfortable at times, it adds a great deal of dignity. Furthermore, the collar identifies the wearer as a man who is doing God's work. It is his "badge of office." People respect it, My husband died in the home where I now do volunteer work. Our pastor was extremely kind and supportive. He always wore his collar. After niy husband 'passed away, the pastor took to calling on me at my apartment in the early evening. He wore a shirt and tie and a plaid sport jacket. I finally asked him please not to come anymore although I didn't tell him why. Actually, I was concerned about what the neigh- bours night think. Please, Ann, if you agree with me, print this letter for those of us who are too shy to speak out.• - THE OLD WAY WAS BETTER. DEAR BETTER: While the clerical collar does nothing to improve the quality of the man who wears it, 1 agree it adds dignity. And as you said, it insures immediate recognition. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I like the look of the clerical collar. Any man can wear a plaid sport jacket. The cellar renresents something special. DEAR ANN LANDERS: My husband and 1 have been married 15 years. We have two wonderful children and a beautiful home, many friends and no money trouble. There's only one problem and it's MINE, not OURS.

Mrs. Murray Wilson was organist and Mrs. Allan Bosman was solosit. The bride wore a gown of crystallettc imported from London, England with a V -neck- line and long, puffy bishop sleeves. On the edge of the neckline and cuff of the sleeve was a tiny pleated frill and down the front of the bodice were rows of Belgium lace. Around the bottom of the dress was a gathered, wide frill falling into a chapel train trimmed around the edge with matching lace. She wore a Juliet cap with rows of tint gathers touched off with tiny crystals held with a two-tier pure Woman wants to collar minister Walter and 1 were married only a year when he was drafted into the army and sent to Korea. He was gone 13 months. Not a day went by that we didn't write to each other. When he returned we were like newlyweds, Several times during these past 14 years, Walter has asked me if I ever cheated on him when he was in Korea, l did not and told him so repeatedly. Last year he .became unusually persistent in his ques- tioning. Suddenly I understood why. He was feeling guilty about something. Well, I was right. Walter confessed that he and several buddies went to a Korean house of prostitution to relieve a physical need. That ended our marriage in my heart. I am crushed. I think about it day and night. 1 don't trust him to go • for a newspaper. I feel totally betrayed and can't shake this depression. Why, oh why did he have to tell me? Please help if you can. -• WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW DIDN'T HURT ME. DEAR DIDN'T KNOW: Your attitude is immature and lacking in compassion.

Since we feel that this should be a community -wide concern, I am sending this to you, with the hope that you will publish it, in our local paper, Hopefully it would prompt others who have similar convictions to write to The Premier, Opposition Leaders, Our Member of Parliament and Cabinet Ministers. Sincerely, SHARON WITTICH. As a member of a small rural community,' and as a concerned citizen of Ontario, I wish to express qty support of the introduction of legislation which would curb the escalating alcohol consumption and the abuse of it in our province. However, in this particular letter, I want to give my 'specific support to legislation which would raise the legal drinking age from 18 to 21. To suggest raising it to 19 years of age, is just a token gesture, which would solve nothing. The abuse of alcoholic bever- ages is a problem which exists in all segments of our society, but it is appalling the way it is affecting our youth. It is an enormous problem in our own community, causing much concern, heart- ache as well as economic implications. Such ' a ' state -of affairs cannot and WILL NOT be allowed to continue if those who pass legislation will have the courage to act in a more decisive and strict manner. The money spent by the tax -payer to remedy the many ills stemming from the results of the "liquor" business, would keep many a small hopspital open, and raise many a school budget, allotment. The target for govern- ment restraints needs re -assess- ing. There is no need for me, an. ' ordinary citizen to try to support my statements by a lot of statistics. Any daily newspaper will cite case after case of tragedy, and cost in which • "alcohol" was the prime cause. Concerned parents (who art voters, too, as well as the 18 year olds), have enough problems in this permissive society to try to guide their children into whole- some activities that do not endanger themselves or others, For that reason we DO NOT WANT a government which not only puts temptation before young people in an easy way, but tolerates and even promotes commercial advertising which ' actually encourages young people to experiment with the MOST DEADLY DRUG OF ALL" ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES". Now I would like to ask this question. What steps does this present 'government, yourself included, propose to do which would satisfy not only me, but the many people like myself, who will certainly be remembering your actions on this issue in the next election? . Basing the following statement on Christian teaching, that anyone who causes another to stumble, will be held accountable for the person's stumbling can this present government be prepared to accept the blame of parents, future generations, and God Himself, for causing young people to stumble by legislation which is inadequate to curb escalating alcoholic problems, and by example which encour- ages young people to think that the crutch they need to cope with life is "alcohol"? I can appreciate the many difficult decisions each member of parliament must make, but 1 hope in your reply to me, that your decision will be one that will restore my confidence in you and in this present government regarding this problem. I am sending a copy of this letter to other members of In W parliament and the Cabinet and, Everyone Welcome. with others, will wait your reply. SinePrely Yours, . T THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 12, 1976.
