I LHUROW PIONEER STEAM THRESHER REUNION • .Inside Editorial Pg. 4 Theatre review Church Pg. 7 Classified Pg. 14 .Arena fund tops $20,000 in first week • Visitors entering Blyth along Highway 4 are now welcomed by handsome signs at both the north and south ends of the village. The signs promoting the village and the annual Thresher Reunion were erected by the Blyth Board of Trade and are similar to those put up last year on county road 25 entrances. They are created by .local artist Jim Marlatt, Joe Clark calls for smaller government BY BEV CLARK, Bringing the government, back to the people and reinstating local initiative and community spirit was the gist of a speech given by Joe Clark, Federal leader of the Progressive Conservative party, when he visited the Vanastra Shillelagh Monday evening, as part of his Southwestern Ontario tour. Mr, Clark said, in his speech that more responsibility should be given to the local governments. He also felt that the enterprising spirit in Canada should be encouraged. "We are in danger of losing people who want to get out and work for themselves," he said, "High government spending on all three levels cannot be disputed, but with strong federal leadership, that spending can be curbed and the money can .go back into the private sector," Mr. Clark continued. Mr. Clark explained his party's role in the government. "First we play the Traditional role as a, critic of the government now. We point out what is being done wrong and, try to rectify the situation. We are also preparing ourselves as an alternate government. We •must show our alternatives, not only our oppositions," he said. In order to form a majority government in the 1978 elections, Mr. Clark pointed out that the Progressive Conservative party needs 47 more seats in parliament and, "the, battleground is here in Ontario," he said, "We need your help and work, for without major change we can't get seats and the government won't change. In 1967 everyone was excited about the future of Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau has done a lot of things to disappoint Canadians and now Canadians have lost that sense of excitement," Mr. Clark said. "We have a country we can be proud of and 1 hope that we might work with you to build a government worthy of this country," Mr. Clark concluded. At the close of Mr, Clark's speech, James Donnelly of Goderich presented Mr. Clark with an atlas of the counties of Huron and Middlesex. Mr, Clark and his wife Maureen McTeer appeared to be none the worse for wear after they began their tour of Southwestern Ontario, Sunday, July 18, in Kincardine. On Monday before arriving in .Vanastra, the Clark's visited the Bruce_Nuclear Power Development, had an intrview at CKNX television in Wingham and attended a coffee party at the Square in Goderich. After leaving Vanastra, they went on to Stratford where Mr. Clark was interviewed on CKKW radio, toured a hog farm and Schneiders meat packing plant in Kitchener and attended the evening performance of the "Way of the World." He then continued on to Hamilton and. will go on to the London area. His tour wily conclude, Saturday, July 24. The canvassers for the Blyth and District Community Centre Building Fund have been busy for the past week and as a result have pushed the fund to the $20,000.00 mark.

As expected, attendance during the first two weeks was below the target of 260 persons per night. With the opening of Mostly In Clover on Saturday night, however, the picture has brightened greatly. The opening night was the first complete sellout of every seat in the theatre (405) that has taken place since the. Festival began last year. The last ticket was sold hours before the opening and many people had to be turned away when they tried to buy tickets at the door. Advance sale for Thursday night's performances indicates that it too will be a sell out. The demand for tickets for the limited run of Mostly In Clover has-been so heavy that an extra performance of the Hullett council discusses mobile home • park The subject of a mobile home park in Hullett township came up again at the July meeting of Hullett township council held July 5 in Londesboro. James Schneider, who has discussed the subject before with council was on hand to find out what progress had been made on his application to build such a park. He also made suggestions as to how to insure. adequate water supply. In other business, the council approved building permits to Milton Dale for a garage; J. Van Egmond, granary; L. Horbaniuk, addition to house; Bill Kolkman, , new house; Bruce Bergsma, drive shed and lean-to on barn; Larry Johnston, addition to house; Ed Watson, shed for trucks; Dave Middleton, granary; E. St. Louis, two steel granaries. A meeting will be called for August 2 at 9 p.m. to consider the report on the Westerhout drainage system. Arrangements were made to inspect houses of those applying for loans under the Ontario Home Renewal Program. show has been scheduled for August 9. • Meanwhile critical reaction to Festival productions continues to be praiseworthy. Noel Callagher of the London Free Press said this year's Clover was even better than last year's hit show, So far there has not been one negative review for the Festival shows from the dozens that have appeared in daily and weekly newspapers and on radio. There is one opening left of the four plays on this year's schedule. It is Shape, the play about the 1936 Olympics written by popular Festival actor, director, writer Jim Schaefer. It will open next Tuesday evening. Arena auction scheduled for Saturday The building fund for the new Blyth and District Community Centre is expected to get a big boost on Saturday when an auction sale of material salvaged from the old arena is held at the fair grounds. The sale will see a good deal of excellent wood, heating and plumbing supplies, beams and other materials sold. There will also be a lunch counter at the site. A similar sale in Teeswater raised over $15,000 toward the arena there. It is hoped for similar results here. Benefit for Auburn family planned An Auburn family will be honoured with a benefit night on Friday to help them after ithey lost their barn and workshop earlier in June. Mr. and Mrs. Manfred Loserit will be honoured at the special social evening at the Auburn Community Hall on Friday at 8 !p.m. Games of all kinds for all ages will be played. Donations may also be left .at several places mentioned in last week's Standard. PG: 2. THE ,BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 21, 1976.1 Melodrama this week's offering at Country, Playhouse This week, the Huron Country Playhouse, in ' Grand Bend, presents The Mumberly inheritance, the hilarjous melo. drama by Warren Graves. This is the first Canadian play to be produced at the Playhouse this year, in a season comprised .of Canadian works, French and English works to celebrate Canadian heritage, and two American plays in honour of the U.S. Bicentennial, Last week's French musical, Irma La Douce, enjoyed outstanding attendance records, challenging even those of last year's biggest hit Hello Dolly, Set at Mumberly Manor, Suffolk, at the turn of the century, this week's melodramatic spoof is filled with high intrigue and hilarity. The unfortunate specula- tion of Sir Roger Mumberly, lord of the manor, has thrown the family into narrow straits. The dastardly villain, Marmadukc r- • Mayhem, plots to take posses- sion of Mumberly. Manor and its lovely young mistress Daphne, Daphne, however, has given her heart to Roger Stoutheart. Only the return of the long lost brother, Jack, from "The Canadas" with the secret of the inheritance can save the day; A rousing example of good old-fashioned innocence and willainy, The cast of The Mumberly Inheritance includes many Play- house favourites. Stan Lacey and M.E. Evans are both very familiar names to area theatregoers. Mr, Evans has appeared in seven past Playhouse productions, and Mr. Lacey has performed • on the Grand Bend stage every season from 1973 to date. "Daphne" is portrayed by Kathy Millard, and Chris Benson -who appeared as "Andy" in Star-Spangled Girl plays brother "Jack", Other cast members include Stanley Coles, David Douelas, Trulie MacLeod and Nancy Palk, Rob Crain, a member of last season's Huron Country Playhouse Young Players is Musical Director of this production. Peter McConnell, Director, is another Playhouse veteran having directed and appeared in many past Playhouse productions, The Mumberly Inheritance runs Wednesday to Saturday nights 'at 8:30, with a preview matinee at 2:00 on Wednesday, and an additional matinee per- formance Saturday at 4:00, Again this week, the Playhouse is Time to replant Irises The iris season is quickly coming to an end. Right after they have reached their prime is the best time to rejuvenate iris beds or plant new ones, If you wait until the fall, the irises will have formed insufficient root growth before winter sets in, resulting in the roots being heaved out of the ground by frost action in the spring. Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticlturist D.B. McNeill recommends that established clumps of irises be dug up•and divided every three or four years. This is extremely important if the iris clumps are to be kept frons becoming too ,large and overcrowded, If the rhizomes or roots are crisp and brittle, let them lie in. the' sun for an hour to soften, Once they have become easier to work with, take a sharp knife and cut the young, vigorous, healthy roots from the outside of the clump to replant, It is not a good idea to use a spade to divide the plants. The spade wastes too much food planting material and causes large wounds through which disease organisms may enter. The central portion of the • sponsoring 'No Strings Attached,' a puppet company for children, who will be performing on the Playhouse stage Saturday July 24 •at .11:00 a.m, Tickets for this children's show are $1,00 for children and $2.00 for adults. root should be thrown into the compost heap, since it is usually weak and may show signs of decay. - Iris clumps need to be kept well hoed throughout the summer to prevent weed growth, Once the weeds become -established among the rhizomes, they are very difficult to eradicate. "The foliage should be trimmed back to about two to three inches before replanting," says Mr. McNeill!, "If the irises are kept well -watered, the blooms next year should be even better than in previous years.".

WAlYNE GRUB 5 4 ' T$E BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 21, 1976. PG. 3, Committeechairman named for 1978 Plowing Match Ed Starr, secretary -manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Assoc- iation, brought some interesting information to a meeting at the Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton recently, Farmers, business people and representatives of service clubs and Women's Institutes gathered to hear progress reports on the 1978 International Plowing Match, which will be held just east of Wingham. Host farmer is Jim Armstrong: His land and that ot'several neighbours will provide the site of the big match, • "There is no way to even estimate the amount of money that is left in a community during the five days of an International," said John Stephens, president of the OPA, "not to mention the friendships which are made and the goodwill which can be generated for the community," Mr, Stephens paid tribute to U.WO. scientists- develop 'double corn Gold - not the prospector's bright nuggets, but the gold found wrapped in green leaves on a corn plant could be the bonanza that dominates the later part of this century. Gold is where you find it, goes the saying, and while South- western Ontario is short on the base metal variety, experimental research at The University of Western Ontario may turn nature's gold, corn, or maize as the Indians called it, into a gold mine for farmers. . A ' far-fetched prospect? Not really. As the petroleum shortage becomes more acute in the next 10 to 15 years; cornstarch may replace it as the base for plastics. There are also major markets for corn in the cosmetics and distillery industries, aside from its obvious edible value. imagine the impact of a corn plant that produces two ears instead of the usual on , doubling the crop yield, at no extra cost to the farmer or the environment. If you think that's science fiction, drive out to Western's experimental fields, located near the junction of Highways 22 and 4, at the end of August. There you'll see thousands of these two -eared mutants • freaks produced by genetic engineering • thrusting their way toward the sun. • Prof. David Walden, a cyto- geneticist workidg in the Plant • Sciences Department at UWO, is largely responsible for this genetic feat. He got "hooked" on the beauty and engineering of the corn plant • "a fantastic organism" • as a teenager hoeing corn to earn summer money, "I enjoy being outside during• the summer • you have to be in love with the plant to know the joy of being in the fields at' sunrise and sunset," he says. The fields he hoed as a teenager belonged to The Connecticut Agricultural Experi- ment Station, and soon he was supervising research projects using corn. It wasn't much' of a step to graduate school at Cornell in the area of corn genetics. He came to Western in 1961, beginning his work with cyto- genetics, producing and studying more than 1,000 mutations of the plant. He explains very calmly that he and his colleagues at Western _- Prof. Dick Greyson, Prof, Don Hayden, and Prof. Bill Hopkins -, decided to redesign the corn plant. "Earlier maturing corn, improving the way we grow and harvest the crop, and altering the enviroment to improve the yield are the traditional approaches of research for the last 100 years. Knowing this, and having partici- pated in this type of research, I took the position that if we're going to make incremental changes perhaps we have to alter our approach. We decided it would be reasonable to make radical changes to the plant rather than just making it taller or shorter." Just because you love some- thing, doesn't mean you're blind to its faults. Prof. Walden admits that the corn plant is "less than 10 percent effective" in produc- ing corn. The first step was redesigning the leaf alangement on the plant so that instead of the leaves growing one on top of the other right up the stalk, the leaves would grow in a circular pattern around the • stalk, making it a more efficient absorber of sunlight. ' The next step was "fooling" the plant into .producing two • leaves at each of its nodes, the intersections between leaf and stalk, This would give it twice as many leaves, although the actual leaf surface available is only 15 percent greater since the double leaves are somewhat smaller than usual, ' "Research should be fun," Prof. Walden insists and that's where the element of serendipity enters the picture. "Our double leaf plant was a genetic accident and we found we were able to reproduce it. A lot of people have seen these plants growing and have tried, unsuccessfully, to recreate them, Ours was a genetically inheritable mutant, which means it passes this trait on through the pollen," Plainly put, Prof. Walden doesn't know how the genetics work in producing the mutant; he just knows that so far it has produced the double leaves predictably, generation after generation. Ripley Craft • Festival July 30, 31 Plans are being finalized for the annual Craft Show and Sale presented by Huron -Bruce Arts and Crafts Incorporated in the new Ripley -Huron Recreational Complex in Ripley on July 30 and 31. The show will start at 10:00 a.m. both days. On Friday it will run until 10:00 p.m. and on Saturday it will close at 6:00 p.m. The convenors, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver McCharles and their committee have strived to bring the public an even better selec tion of interesting and. cultural crafts of the past which were so much a part of the daily life of our pioneers, as well as some more modern crafts, thus giving a wide ' selection where there will. be something pleasing to everyone. Antiques and many crafts such quilts, rugs, various kinds of jewellery, china painting, macrame, leather, oil painting, wood products, pottery, ceramics, crocheting and many more will be for sale by crafters from across Ontario. There Will also be demonsrations of some crafts. As an added treat, fresh garden produce and home baking will be available. There will also be lucky; draws, entertainment, food and' fun for everyone. The ,proceeds, as in the past, will go to community projects. Mr, and Mrs. Koy \Bennett of Wingham for the tremendous job they do at every International, Roy is a member of the publicity committee and takes charge of the daily parades which are a feature of the match, Jim Armstrong introduced Dawn Brunton of Bruce County, who is the reigning Queen of the Furrow, and her father, Alf Brunton, chairman of the local committee in charge of the 1976 International which will be held near Walkerton in September. Mr, Brunton addressed the meeting and later, during the question period, answered many queries about various phases of their organization. Mr. Starr outlined the relation- ship between the local committee and the Ontario Plowmen's Association and the way in which expenses and revenues are divided. The first International was held in 1913 and has been growing ever since. Mr. Starr said the OPA collects all revenues from space sold in the tented city, which contains 16,000 feet of frontage for exhibitors on Tots 100 feet deep. Last year at Oshawa, for . example, there were five "streets" of exhibits, with tents and booths lining both sides of the streets - 400 in all. Space rates are divided into two classes. Those who simply exhibit their products pay $7 per foot frontage; those who are selling merchandise or food pay $14 per foot. The frontages occupied range all the way from 15 feet up. The local committee receives the money from parking fees and a portion of admissions to the grounds. This year in Bruce the Bank of Montreal will provide all the necessary manpower for ticket sales, A contract is drawn up between the local committee and the OPA on division of admission fees, by which the OPA assumes responsibility for any deficit, Speaking of the enthusiasm which is generated locally, Mr, Starr said that if the International was held on a permanent site there would be nowhere near the spontanious participation by farmers and business people. "We could never hire the kind of people we get on the present volunian asis,' he declared, A big' asls,' � he dela year's match will be the Wtntut,eq, • which will be made in Walkerton on the Thursday evening of International week. The awards banquet will be held on Friday evening at Kincardine, and 2,000 tickets have been printed for that one occasion. There were many questions, from the floor in relation to the banquet plans. Members of the Women's Institutes in the Walkerton area will cater for the dinner and detailed planning has to be completed well in advance for that event alone, Howard Datars, of Dashwood, chairman of the local committee for the 1978 match, was also chairman at the Clinton meeting a audience of nearly j' the audence of nprty .,,.., n Armstrong of Wingham intro- duced the guests from .tether counties.

It seems that some people can't see a good thing even when .it stares them in the face. Many such persons insist that all this theatre business is some kind of rip-off perpetrated on Blyth by a bunch of outsiders. They ignore the fact that dozens of Blyth and arca residents give many hours :very year to keep the Festival going and it is these people, who hire the "outsiders" to help give Blyth the best .theatre possible, They also ignore the tremendous benefits that are already starting to flow to Blyth because of the Festival. First of all, where it counts with most people, there's the financial benefit. The budget this summer for the Festival runs to over $40,000. Most of this money remains in the Blyth community through rental f )r the Hall ($1500). materials for sets and costumes, printing costs, and salaries to Festival personnel who put the money back into the community for food and lodging and other necessities. Then there is the economic revenue generated in the town by the people who come to visit the Festival. This year the first effects of the amount of money people spend on food and lodging and. shopping are being felt. If the Festival continues to grow, and local people take advantage of the opportunities afforded them by the fact thousands of people visit the community during the Festival, then it can be a major income earner for the community. There are the improvements that have been carried out to Memorial Hall. Through the work of the Blyth Centre for the Arts, the parent body of the Festival, more than $20,000 in improvements have been made to the building for an investment of $3,000 by the Blyth. council. What can also not be overlooked is the amount of favourable publicity Blyth has gained because of the Festival. Normally the only time a major newspaper mentions a town like Blyth is when something negative happens: a scandal, a murder, a serious accident. But this summer thousands of words have been written about the Festival and about Blyth in newspapers all across the country. The Festival, and Blyth, have received favourable comment on C.B.C. radio. Canadian Press, the agency which sends news to all newspapers and radio stations across the country, last week did a laudatory article on the Festival. If we had tried to buy that kind of publicity through a public relations or advertising program, it would have cost us thousands of dollars. But by making Blyth well-known, the Festival can also spur othcr kinds of businesses which can help provide more jobs. And last, but not least, is the fact that with the Festival here we have the chance in our own backyard to see good entertainment and cheaply. The Festival is designed to provide, the kind of entertainment we will enjoy, not the high falutin stuff of thc Stratford Festival, and at a price local people can afford ($3 per ticket instead of $12 at Stratford and $4.50 and $5 at Grand Bend). Those souls who say they wouldn't go to the theatre for anything, are missing out on some good entertainment. Anyone who likes the likes of any of the popular comedy shows on televison will enjoy the products of the Festival which are down to earth and damned good. That's another point: we have by good luck or good management gathered in Blyth some of the most talented people in Canada in theatre. That's not local boosterism; that is the opinion of critle alter critic from newspapers and radio and television stations from all over who have seen the shows (there has not been one negative review yet of the dozens that have been done). We should be proud of that. Most people are. . The doubters should give the Festival a chance and go out and see a production. Maybe then they wouldn't be so ready to make up and pass on every smutty rumour, every negative thought, about the Festival. Throw out the flags Politics has often seemed to have more prominence at the Montreal Olympics than sport in the past couple of weeks. Canada started the whole mess, of course with its actions regarding the country of Taiwan being allowed to enter the games as the Republic of China. We were wrong to interject politics into the games, and, as former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker put it, we're now getting our own back with the boycott of the African countries over New Zealand's sports ties with South Africa. The solution to the whole matter is simple to point out, though much harder to bring about. It is simply to ban the use of flags and national anthems at the Olympic games. Certainly it is thrilling to see the Canadian flag raised and hear the anthem played on those few occasions we win a gold medals, but most Canadians could live without it. More important is the spirit of the games, the bringing together of the youth of the world in friendly competition. Unfortunately taking politics out of the games seems a hard task. Countries like the U.S., Russia and East Germany make winning at the Olympics part of their foreign policy, part of their propaganda showing, how superior their lifestyle is. As long as this kind of attitude exists, the games can go nowhere but down. Nature's wood sculpture Ashamed- and proud at the Olympics BY KEITH ROULSTON As a long-time nationalist, the Olympic games have been both a pleasure and a pain. The pain came early. The hassling over the cost of the Olympics, the delays, the design of the buildings, it all made it geeni that the Olympics were a plague that descended on Canada. The games seemed to bring out thc worst in us. The bitter Toronto -Montreal r$vallry led to overzealous criticism of the Toronto-based media of the games. Jean Drapeau was at his empire -building best and the anti-Drapeau segment was at its best too, trying to tear the man dotvn and make him look like a complete idiot so they could look good. The anti -French bigots looked forward to the complete collapse of the games as a way of fighting back. The federal government, afraid to seem to be pandering to Quebec again, with held Unsling from the games, makirigrttn the Quebec 'and Montreal games, not the Canadian games they should have been. The unions saw the games as one more opportunity to black- mail management into big gains in wages and other conditions. First it was the stadium which appeared to be doomed because of strikes. Next it was an air strike timed to pressure the government into giving a ' settlement that otherwise wouldn't have been gained, Then the technicians who were to man the equipment carrying the television pictures of the games around the world went on strike a week or so before the games. Corrupt businessmen drove up costs of facilities by bilking the games organizers and the public. Then, in a moment that made this nationalist sick of his country's actions as never before, the Government .messed things up with the Taiwan issue. Certainly there were points on which the government was right in the matter, but the terrible thing is that. we brought the subject 4p in the first place. The Olympics are supposed to be non-political. They aren't of course, but thel're supposed to be. Canada ,of all countries, should be setting an example to try to keep. politics out of the games as much as possible. Instead we get mixed up right in the middle of the mess, The Olympics, which were supposed to bring glory to Canada, instead gave us a. black eye in many countries around the world. So, by the time the games opened on Saturday afternoon there was such a bad taste in my mouth that I expected the worst. What the worst was to be, I didn't have to know, but since every- thing else had gone wrong with the games, somethinn seemed sure to go wrong: perhaps the roof of thestadium would cave in and kill 70,000 people or a 'terrorist bomb would go off under the Queen's seat or something of that nature. it was relieving then when instead everything went right. It was a stunning show that perhaps, at least for those few minutes made Canadians and the rest of the world forget all the negative things about the games and remember instead the positive things. As a nationalist the greatest moment of the day was not the roar for the Canadian team when it marched into the stadium, but the lighting of the flame. Somehow, the young woman from English Canada and the young man from French Canada carry- ing the torch together to light the flame, symbolized what Canada should be like: with the youth of the country, men and women, French and English, working as partners to get things done, not bickering and bitching. Then there was the colourful dancing by thousands of young Canadians and the Habitant folk dancing and a whole stirring afternoon. It would be nice if that feeling could last. There will of course be disappointments ahead, particularly as we expect our Olympic team to do better than it likely will. After the games we'll go back 'to bickering and backbiting. But there in the beautiful stadium for one short period, we glimpsed Canada as it could be. Perhaps that was worth all the cost and embarassment. At least it gives us the goal to shoot for..' THE HLYTH.STANDARD, JULY 21, 1976. PG, 5. Future development plans of Belgrave bring discussion A proposal was introduced Tuesday, June 29 at a Belgrave town planning meeting for a residential development, The 25 -acre location is situated in the south-west corner of the village, bounded by Highway 4 to the cast, while the Belgrave Creek and Grasby Drain are the boundaries to the north, south and west, The proposal calls for a single and multi -family residential commercial and parkland area to be developed by Lorne Humphrey, One main road, two short cul-de-sacs and two entrances from the highway are planned, George Penfold, a representa- tive of the Huron County planning department, explained that the present official plan for Huron County provides for the develop- ment of existing hamlets and villages. He said that unless Which is best: round bales or stack? A recently completed study by an Ontario agricultural college has found that the round baler is the most efficient and inexpens- ive method of harvesting forage crops under 500 tons per year. However, if a farmer handles more than 500 tons, the stacker system is more economical. Mr. C.F. Murray, of New Liskeard College of Agricultural Technology, says that the round bale system is not suitable for all types of farming. "A roil' d baler is unsuitable for dairy farmers who keep their cows confined for the winter, since. it is difficult to unroll the bales and feed it to the cows inside the barn. However, if the farmer works under a free -style system where tho.cows are allowed to go outside, then,, the round bales can be used quite easily." To get -a fair idea of the efficiency of each of the harvest ing systems, Mr. Murray examined how long it would tako to harvest 100 tons of forage, how-• many men and at what rate the crop could be harvested. He found that square bales required .120 man-hours, with four or klve men on 'the job Tiarvesting the' crop, at a rate of three tons per hour. Both round balers and stackers only required one or two men for 30 to 40 man-hours, to harvest the same' amount, How- ever, there was a difference in the harvesting rates between .the round balers and stackers. Round bales could be harvested at four to 12 tons per hour, While stackes were harvested at a rate of six to 15 tons per hour. Another important considera- tion in the efficiency of the various systems is the amount of crop lost through spoilage, says Mr, Murray. "Squarebales stacked inside a barn, if baled at the correct moisture level, will not deteriorate appreciably. How- ever, if the are stacked outside, losses could be extensive. Well - made stacks, and twined round bales stored outside have an average loss of about five percent. On the other hand, the untwined or rolled bales can have Excuses don't fill stomachs Peter Ustinov, actor and author, speaks out for the world's children in a newly released television commercial for UNICEF. Portraying four differ- ent characters in the 60 -second spot, Ustinov raises a number of reasons for not supporting the agency, then answers himself with the telling comment "excus- es don't fill empty stomachs". • "It's terrifying• and shocking that the nations of the world spend as much on armaments , every two hours as they spend on I the world's children in a year", he said during a break in the . filming. "Through its assistance . and development programs, UNICEF now reaches 100 million , children throughout the world. But there are another 900 million , whom we are unable to reach through lack of funds. Aid to UNICEF should be seen, not as charity, but as an obligation", • losses up to 100 percent if left. outside because their low density allows the rain and - snow to penetrate right through," he says. Before you invest in a new harvesting system, Mr. Murray advises talking to other farmers. Before a system is chosen, the whole harvesting operating should be carefully planned out from the field to the cow to ensure that it can be easily accommo- dated on your farm. designations shown on the official plan conform to lot lines, natural boundaries, roads, railways and so on, the boundaries are open to interpretation, Mr, Penfold men- tioned that the planning depart- ment realized that a section of the proposed development wasn't designated for urban use on the County Plan, However, the area falls within natural boundaries, lot lines and the project adheres to the principle of expansion, so urban use is acceptable. An open discussion followed the explanations of the builders and planners. Most of the questions centered around three concerns - how land is designated for urban use, potential rates of growth for the development, and concern of services, roads and types of houses in the subdivision. Neil Vincent wanted to know what date the area switched from agricultural to residential. He was answered by Mr, Penfold "The interpretation of the Official Plan, was made at the time of submission of the proposal", John Gnay asked, "The public survey indicated a desire for street lights and sidewalks in the hamlet. Will they be provided in the development?" Art Clark of Maitland Engin- eering Services, representing the developer, replied, "An agree- ment must be drawn up between the developer and the township. The township can specify what municipal services must be provided." Ross Proctor raised the point of the effect of doubling the village population. Nick Hill, planning consultant for the developer mentioned, "Historically, Belgrave has reduced in popula- tion since 1900 and now is reversing the trend." Neil Vincent asked, "Will the developer pay for snowplowing while the area is being developed?" and was answered by Mr. Humphrey, "The town- ship will get paid for snowplowing in taxes," The road superintend- ent said, "The township won't maintain the roads until they are approved by the Ministry of Transportaiton and Communications," More than one ministry was involved in the development plan. The developer had to make 35 copies of the proposal to submit to every ministry involved whereas the Morris Township develop- ment didn't involve the same procedure. The Ministry of Natural Resources indicated concern over sewage disposal of the Belgrave development. Mr. Gnay proposed a question on sewage, "How large can a hamlet grow before a sewage system is required?" Mr, Clark responded, "Size is more a problem of lot size and density' than total population." .. Mr. Gnay continued, "What Ministry of Environment will establish the size of the multi- family residential units based on the ability of the area to handle septic wastes," Mr. Hill explained, "Generally in the. country, sewage systems are being installed in villages of about 800 or more people." Mr, Gnay questioned, "Did the Ministry of Natural Resources have input into the existing storm sewer into Belgrave Creek?" Mr. Clark replied, "Townships do not have to conform to the same requirements as private develop- ers. The proposed development will be circulated to Natural Resources." The meeting, with 75 I use attending, opened at 8:30 and wasn't over until 10:30, due to the long question -and -answer session. BLYTH SUMMER FESTIVAL Is a Hit! WESTERN ONTARIO ON STAGE !

TRE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 21, 1976, Theatre review Full house proves popwlariiy of 'Clover' BY KEITH ROULSTON The simple fact that every seat in Memorial Hall, Blyth was sold out inadvance on Saturday night and that disappointed people were turned away at the door shows how popular Mostly in Clover is for the Blyth Summer Festival, The play, adapted from three books of Harry J. Boyle by writer Steven Thorne and director James Roy and members of the cast of the show, was the hit that really got the Festival going last year. Its success led to the daring commitment by the Festival to produce plays with particular relevance to Western Ontario. Word of mouth over the winter led to an early advance sale when it was announced that Mostly In Clover would be back for a second season this year. It resulted Saturday night in the largest audience ever to see a production of the Fetival, Among the audience was Mr. Boyle himself, who was unable to see the show last year. Afterward, he visited the cast in the dressing room and congratulated them on putting a lot of "fun" into the play. Performing a play two years in a row has its dangers for a theatre company. if there are no changes, the show can be flat. If there are What's a salad? Webster's dictionary 'says: a salad is "green vegetables (as lettuce, endive, romaine) often with tomato, cucumber or radish, served with dressing". Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council Ministry of Agriculture and Food developed a recipe using these ingredients and few others. Try it once and you'll want to make it again and again during July and August when Ontario produces its fantastic crop of fresh salad vegetables. / ONTARIO SUMMER SALAD 1 head iceberg lettuce, torn into bite -size pieces 2 large tomatoes, cut in small wedges '/2 cup thinly sliced cucumbers 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes '/ cup diagonally sliced celery 1/2 cup coarsely chopped green pepper 1/2 cup coarsely chopped green onions (including tops) 1/2 cup pitted ripe olives (optional) DRESSING '/2 cup salad oil 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice 2 tbsp. vinegar 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh. mint or 1 tbsp.liried mint flakes 2 tbsp. finely chopped parsley 1. tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt '/2 tsp. pepper '/ tsp. dry mustard Toss together all salad ingred- ients. Combine dressing ingred- ients, shake. Sprinkle over salad. Toss. Serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8. The combination of ingredients in a salad is perhaps not as critical as how you choose and care for the ingredients before you toss them. To keep them looking good and tasting great, follow these easy recommendations when sel- ecting and caring for your greens 'n other things. ICEBERG [HEAD] LETTUCE Crisp textured, should spring back when lightly squeezed. Look for a small core. Wash in cold water, drain thoroughly. Core if desired, roll in towelling; bag in plastic.

Refriger- ate uncovered. too many changes people who liked the show last year may not like it this year. Director Roy walked the tight- rope on this by making mostly cosmetic changes to the show from last year. Blessed this year with a larger acting pool than last, he added two more actors to the cast of five. Joining the cast were Steve Thorne and Sharon Noble, and Alfred Humphries takes the part of the narrator which was played last year by Gordon Bradley who is not with the Festival this year. The show is as hilarious as ever, perhaps more so. About the only real script change has been the addition of a short skit on picking the town crest and another on a tall hunting tale, the latter of which had the audience rolling in the aisles. Such favourite scenes as the "buggie race", a scene about moving the stove, and grandpa's dating scene are brought back again. Overall the show was a little sloppy, compared to the usual high standards of the Festival troupe. The looseness is no doubt attributed to the fact this is the third production opened in 15 days and the fourth is in production now fcq opening TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO jL J1`J SYNDICATE Kenny is a darling of three but seems more like two, both in size and in progress. Because of early deprivation, he is behind the average but is developing well now. His main lag is in speech but itis expected he will soon be at the normal levels for his age. French Canadian in descent, Kenny is an appealing boy with brown hair and dark eyes. His general health is good. One leg is slightly shorter than the other but this is not noticeable when he walks or runs. He wears corrective shoes with a lift on the shorter leg. His glasses are to correct a turned -in eye but he hates wearing them. Kenny plays happily with children his own age at nursery school but really seems to prefer older boys and girls. He delights in attention and cuddling. He will be a fine son for parents who won't worry over his slow start. It will be good if there are older brothers and sisters in his adopting family. To inquire about adopting Kenny, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. In your letter tell something of your present family and your way of life. For general adoption information, contact your local Children's Aid Society. A LIVELY, HEALTHY BOY shortly, Working several new people into a play that already has veterans can also cause problems of having everybody ready at the same time. Still the flaws weren't major enough to distract form the overall effect. Ron Barry (Swartz for those who knew him last year) is as hilarious as ever as grandpa and particularly as the most over- worked nag of a horse you ever saw in the buggy race sequence. Jim Shaeffer shows his different style of humour can be just as funny but delivers sober notes well too as in the story of a slow young man who is duped by a wiley widow. Angie Gei is as precious as ever as mother Boyle, particularly in the stove moving scene which gets the evening off to a rousing start. Alfred Humphries as the narator gets only a few chances to show his comic touch but when he does, he makes the most of them, Sharon Noble carries a relatively small part in the play and has little chance to show her immense talent, but as the widow and in her final scene as the local choir leader and culture buff, she adds strong performances. Mark Battye returns this year to play the, role of Harry as he did last year and play it well, The show has proved so popular that an extra perform- ance has been scheduled for August 9 to accommodate all those who want to see the show, or to sec it again. Then it's off on a tour of Southwestern Ontario to let others know just what kind of top-noth theatre is being produced in Blyth.

CRAWORD MOTORS CHRYSLER • DODGE PLYMOUTH WINGHAM ONTARIO 357-3862 From the' M'inister's Study Christian orJ ewish? BY EDWARD BAKER One lovely spring day, following our factory's annual golf tournament, 1 was standing in the lounge talking to one of the few men frogs the plant who had chased the ball around the course, The office people who sit down to handle paper and phone really need the exercise. They are distressed that so few from the plant go out for golf. A trucker who unloads 600 -Ib window units into soft bulldozed earth all alone doesn't get turned on by walking a golf course batting a white pill on Saturday morning, After discussing several topics with' mc, Earl (*), the man in the lounge, said, "You know, Ed,, 1 feel that a man should be a good husband and father and should take an interest in making his community a better place." "Who can argue with ideals like that? We'd have a happier world if everyone followed them," I observed, "Well, you used to see my wife and children in church from time to time when you were minister in our village but I didn't go. 1 try to lead a good life but 1 don't feel the need to go to church to learn how," he continued. We discussed this for a while. I told him 1 didn't feel he needed to apologize to me for staying away from church. "But you used to be minister in our village and I am telling you why 1 didn't go to church much," he continued. "Earl, I figure everybody has a long list of things in life that interest him -- a very long list, for some. Each of us draws a line across that list somewhere; he acts on the matters above the line and sets aside the ones below. Each person makes his own list, which he changes as he goes along, and draws his own line," I suggested. "I wanted to tell you about some things that are important to me," said Earl, "about things that are high on my list." "And I agreed that your ideals were important. But when you pursue the matter, I wonder whether you are feeling a little guilty about putting church attendance below the line on your list of things to do. You make your list and you draw your line, Earl,1 don't feel it would be right for me to do that for you," 1 aserted, and continued, "I admit that I'd like to, at times, But I should respect your right to make the decisions about your life, and ac cept those decisions, If I don't accept them, let me know." "I don't think that 1 feel guilty about not going to church: 1 just don't feel the need to go there to learn how to lead a good life," Earl explained. "Well, Earl, I think you should be talking to a rabbi rather than to me," said I putting the conversation on a new track, "A rabbi? You were minister in our church. I'm not a Jew and 1 don't know any rabbis, Why should 1 talk to one of them?" Earl demanded, puzzled. "Our talk has been on a subject from basically a Jewish approach," I replied. , "How do you get that?" he asked, interested, "Many feel the Church is in the 'right and wrong' business, or morality," I explained, "but that's the business the Jews are in. They base their religion on 'The Torah' or Law. Christianity grew out of that heritage, but that's not the name of the game with us," explained the minister -become -factory -worker. • "Do you mean Christians aren't interested in right and wrong?" Earl asked, concerned and surprised. "We're interested in them, but that's not basic to Christians; though you'd think it was, to hear a lot of Christians," 1 replied. "If it were, probably many of us would be Jews," I . continued. (continued next week] (*) The name and some matters are changed but the account is factual. Your comment is invited: Ed.

I tried to Lind out why but she wouldn't discuss It, Yestcrddy a boy in Ellen's class was killed in an accident. She was terribly upset, but refuses to go to the wake, When I insisted dun she show up to pay her last r sink's, she said, "I can't stand cs, gr funerals and I'm not go ng to put myself through the . agony," A few minutes later she came back in the room and said, "Please tell Jimmie (her older brother) that when you and Dad die, he'll have to take care of all the arrangements because I wont( be able to. I'm also telling you now I will not attend your funeral or Dad's, Just know i love you. both very much and I'll do my best to show you how much 1 care while you are alive."

Progress against these diseases has taken a dramatic upswing in the last 30 years - progress through research with the result that medical science can now prevent disability in about four out of five patients suffering even the most severe forms of arthritis, Arthritis is now being controlled for some, but not for all, Arthritis due to infection can be cured. Arthritis due to gout can be completely controlled. Treatment methods have been developed which can prevent disability in about 80 percent of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The ulti- mate goal of The Arthritis Society is the conquest of arthritis. Time, the most important factor in the treatment of arthritis is of great consequence, too, in the immediate exchange of information from country to country, For it is this intellectual network of research which has been a major factor in the progress which has been achieved, Studies supported by the Society are aimed at applying these latest world-wide advances in patient care. We are working toward the best arthritis control program in the world, The fight against arthritis is on the march around the world, Knowledge is advancing in a significant number of countries; research into the cause and cure has been accelerated; the fight against the crippler has captured the imagination of tens of thousands of people and the dramatic improvement in methods of treatment and results in the prevention of disability have been fully documented. To continue this progress in arthritis research, there is a growing need for a massive infusion of government funds to strengthen medical research generally, according to The Arthritis The rights of dogs Sooner or Tater, most sheep owners are confronted with the problem of a clog or dogs molesting their flocks. This may result in some of the sheep being killed or injured, or the flock badly upset, The latter case is even more serious if it occurs at breeding time, when the entire future production of the flock can be affected, "But if the sheep owner shoots the marauding dog, suddenly the dog assumes tremendous value and there are various threats, both physical and legal, made against the sheep owner," says sheep specialist D.J. Stevenson, of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, He points out that the rights of the various parties involved are explicitly outlined in the Dog Licensing and Live Stock. and Poultry Protection Act, a copy of which is available through offices of the Ministry. The Act covers both dog and wolf damage to livestock and Don't hoard those lids If consumers don't stop hoarding mason -jar replacement lids as they come on the market there could be a shortage for this year's canning season, report food specialists at the Ontario Food Council. Last summer's shortage of lids left many consumers at a loss as to how to preserve the abundant supply of Ontario fruits and vegetables. This year, well over twice as many lids are being manufac- tured in Ontaio and large quantites arc also being imported. Yet the lids are disappearing quickly from store shelves. , "If every consumer purchases even twice the amount that she or he really needs, the demand is doubled. Obviously,if this hoarding continues, it won't take long to create a drastic shortage," say the Ontario Food Council's food specialists. Purchase just as many lids as you think you will need for this year and leave the rest for your neighbours; Otherwise your store._ manager may be forced to limit the amount sold to each customer until the supply and demand even out somewhat. All reports indicate that the supply of lids will be more than adequate for this year's canning season, so there is no need for panic buying. The bulk of he supply has yet to hit the market since most manufacturers con- sider mid-July as the beginning of the busy canning season. and poultry. The local municipality pays the livestock owner for damage once it has been assessed by a local evaluator. In the case of wolf damage, municipal costs are recovered from the provincial government. If the livestock owner feels that the evaluation is not fair, • the decision can be appealed to the Ministry's Live Stock Commissioner. For damage done by dogs, the, municipality can recover the'.inonies from owners of the dogs, if they are known. "The Act further states that "any person may kill a dog that is found killing or injuring livestock or poultry, that in a township or village is found between sunset and sunrise straying from the premises where the dog is habitually kept, or that is found Society, The Society is proud of its contribution as a partner in the global strategy to conquer these diseases, But the conquest of arthritis demands that we know how to prevent these diseases - not just how to treat them better. This will be the ultimate result of world-wide research efforts in which Canada must play its part. The focal points for Canada's rapidly developing arthritis con- trol program are the Rheumatic Disease Units located at univers- ity medical schools, These Units spearhead research, teaching and patient care. There arc now 16 Units, one at every medical school in Canada, This network of RDUs has been an important Society objective since 1969, September is "Arthritis Month" in Canada. The Arthritis Society needs your, support to wipe out disability and suffering due to arthritis. Real hope now exists. sheep owners straying, at any time, and not under proper control, upon premises where livestock or poultry is kept," the *medalist adds. "The Act also provides kw municipalities to collect dog license fees and for the control of dogs running at large." He says that, broadly speaking, the problem of dogs running at large could be reduced by three courses of action, First, livestock owners should familiarize them- selves with the legislation. Second, township councillors and clerks should be made aware of their obligations in the area of dog licensing and control. Finally, dog owners must be made aware of their responsibility in controll- ing their animals and their financial responsibility for any damage caused by the dogs. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 21, 1976.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 21, 1976, fo We've got our problems but Canada's still great • • By BILL SMILEY On a recent evening, 1 watched on television two elderly gentle- men being interviewed. In both cases, the result was an excellent testimony to the human spirit. And in both cases, the old-timers echoed something I've believed for years - that Canada is the greatest country in the world in which to live. First of • these indomitable elders was Conn Smythe, widely known for years in this country as the irascible, out -spoken manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, when that hockey team was a by -word in Canada. Smytheis 81, and he hasn't lost much of the tough, blunt attitude that made him respected by many, hated by some, and almost revered by others.' He detests whiners and lay- abouts, as most of us do, but he doesn't mind saying so in public. He doesn't like a lot of the things that are going on in this counttry, and makes no bones about it. But when he was asked whether he thought Canada, as such, would endure, he, just laughed, and said, in effect, that of course it would, It was too great a country, and we had too many fine people (although there are a lot of_"skunks") for it to disintegrate or disappear, What a refreshing change from the purveyors of woe who fill so many columns of our newspapers and magazines, and so much air time, snivelling about Canada's loss of identity, or search for it, or attempt to retain it, or something. These are the same snivellers who have been with us since Confederation, warning us that the big bogey to the south is taking us over, and that we'll wind up as a banana republic, or a satellite of the U.S. 4H members host Nova Scotian visitors Huron County 4-H Club members will be hosting four 4•H club members from the province of Nova Scotia on a 4-H Exchange program during the two week period of July 19 to August 2. The Nova Scotia delegates will be flying into Toronto on July 19 and arriving in Huron County at the Agricltural Office at approx- imately 3:00 p.m. where they will be met by their Huron host for the first week, During their first week in Huron the Nova Scotia delegates will be hosted by the following people; Cindy Northup, Windsor, N.S.; Willie Vander Linden, Hcatherton, N.S.; Margarete Zillig, Scotch Village, N.S.; David Bent, Lawrenceton, N.S.; Diana Brand, RR3, Clinton; Ken de Boer, RR 1, Lucknow; Dianne Oldfield. RR 4. Seaforth; I Don Carter, RR 3, Blyth. • From July 26 to August 2, they will be hosted by: Cindy Northup, Willie Vander Linden, Margarete Zillig, David Beng, Elaine Stewart RR 1, Kirkton; Murton Brock, RR 1, Granton; Barb Miller, RR 3, Exeter; Alan Powe, RR 2, Centralia. During their stay in Huron the 4-H Youth Council has set up several activities for the Nova Scotia delegates. On the evening of July 20 a "Welcome to Huron County" party will be held at the Clinton High School. The evening programme will consist of swimming at the Clinton Swim- ming Pool at 8:00 p.m., and conclude with games, dancing and refreshments at the Clinton High School. On Sunday, July 25th the 4•H Youth Council will take the delegates and their hosts •on a Progressive Dinner Party. This dinner party will start in the north part of Huron and conclude in the south part later in the evening and will give the delegates an opportunity to see some of the countryside in the County. On Saturday, July 31 the 4-H Council has, planned a 441 Campout for the delegates at Balls Grove near Auburn. Start- ing at 2:00 p.m. the delegates and their hosts will participate in swimming, games, a Pot Luck Supper, dancing and a camp fire sing song. On August 2 the Nova Scotia delegates will be returning home and the Huron 4•H exchange delegates will be going with them., Those 441 club members who are going to Nova Scotia include Barb Miller, RR 3, Exeter; Elaine Stewart, RR 1, Kirkton; Alan Powe, RR 2, Centralia; and Ken de Boer, RR 1, Lucknow. This exchange is a new venture for the Huron County 4-H Programme and it is hoped that inter -provincial exchanges of this nature will continue in 1977. These carpers wouldn't know the Canadian identity if it sneaked up and bit them on the backside, They'd think it was an American' yellow -jacket, or at least a CIA plot, One of the most persistent critics of Canadian manners and mores is yours truly, but I sure don't go around worrying about, or losing any sleep over, the Canadian identity. Nor does anyone else who really knows anything about this country, or who has fought in one of the two big wars, The Canadian identity is just as real, and present, and prickly, as thorns on a rose. I haven't much of a punch any more, but if anyone suggested 1 was a Yank, or a Limey, or an - Australian, I woyld be inclined to give him a punch on the nose.. And I think most Canadians feel that way, whether their back- ground is Anglo-Saxon, or Japan- ese, or Ukrainian or whatever. We're not less boisterous Americans, or less obnoxious Englishmen, or Tess excitable Italians, or less phlegmatic Germans, We're Canadians, warts and all. There's nothing I'd rather be, and there'sno Country in which I'd rather live, And If that sounds like chauvinism, so be it. We have our faults, and we bicker like hell among ourselves, and we may be a mongrel race, but ask 99 per cent of us if we'd like to he something else and live somewhere else, and you'd get a resounding "NO!" r Second old-timer I mentioned was "Jackrabbit Johnson." So named because at • nearly 100 years old, he was still cross- country skiing, living alone, proud and independent. He's a Norwegian who carte to this country as a youth, and loves it deeply. Ile was asked what were the most important things in Iifc. At 100, you aren't too much worried about what people will think of your opinions. His answer was, more or less, clean air, clean water, nature, feeling good by keeping fit. Nothing deeply original. But he added that Canada was the most wonderful country in the world. That our young people, on the whole, don't know it. That the big cities - Montreal, Toronto, Van-, couver • were not Canada. 1 couldn't agree with him more. Our cities are carbon copies of other big cities, or of each other. Don't expect to find the Canadian identity in them. Take a step in the right direction. Take a few. Walk a M,w•k:Gtilac. • Don'thuddle in a highrise, fight traffic, fence yourself in with television and concrete, and expect to get the feel of this country, if you do, and aside from' the language, you might as well. be living in Tokyo or Frankfurt or Glasgow. Get out into that clean air, and that clean water, Breathe Canada in (not, please, while you are under water). My kids could hardly wait to get away from the small town and off to the city. Now the phone rings only once before it is snatched up as they hope for an invitation to come "up north," away from the city, Why not be like my wife and me? Stop relying on the plastic life, and get back to nature. 2 Blyth students win Ontario scholarships Two Blyth -area students 'were among the 10 students. at Central Huroh Secondary School, Clinton who received Ontario Scholarships for receiving an average of over 80 percent in grade 13. .
