Church Pg. 7 Classified Pg. 14 Tax reform hearing scheduled in Goderich The Commission ,on the Reform of Property Taxation in Ontario will hold a public meeting August 4 at the Goderich Collegiate gymnasium to receive submis- sions on the Ontario Governments new system of property taxation. • The new system proposed by the government is based on a market value assessment and the Commission hopes to receive submissions from local govern- ments, taxpayers and other interested persons in the arca. The Commission will conduct a series of such meetings throughout the summer before making its recommendations to the government. The palter on the property tax reform states that Ontario residents will realize a reduced share of property taxes on a collective basis and residential property will be redefined to include only residences and a small amount of land. The current practice of levying mill rates on residential and commercial properties will be discontinued. Farmland and buildings will he assessed and taxed at market value but the taxes will be paid by the province. Like other" residences, farm residences will be taxed at`50 per cent of the market value which will be paid by the owner. If the property changes use there will be added provisions to recover the taxes paid by the Province. All property used for business will be subject to an additional assessment of 50 per cent of the market value for business taxes. Public residences will be subject to payments equivalent to taxes at 50 per cent of the market value. The new system will be phased in over a period of five years to eliminate abrupt tax changes. The provisions of the Assessment Act will be applied to the assessment of all property in the province, including areas without municipal governments. Public organizations that receive grants from the province will be allowed to include their tax payment as expense for grant purposes and the Ontario tax credit system will be strengthened. Copies of the tax reform may be obtained from the regional assessment office and the commission requested that anyone planning a written or oral submission at the meeting should ,contact Mr. Lawrence Close at Queen's Park, Toronto. The sessions will be held in the GDCI auditorium Aug. 4 at 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., 2 p.m. to 4:30.p.m., and 7 p.m. to 9:30 2 concerts at Memorial Hall Two Sunday Concerts will be given by the Blyth Summer Festival musicians on August 1 and 8.

Phone dfyth S2 3.4511' :OPEN.MONDAY THROUGH ' SATURDAY ' • 1 City boy finds work BY SHELLEY McPHEE Although Will Klassen had a little trouble telling the straw apart fromthe hay, this 16 year-old from Waterloo Is learn- ing many things about farm life, Will is one of the 11' young people in Huron County partici- pating in the Ministry of Agriculture's Junior Agriculturist Program and is spending his summer on the dairy farm of Jim Phelan of RR2, Blyth. The program is designed as a work and learning experience for 16 and 17 year-old male and female residents from cities in Ontario. The students live and work with the farm family for a nine week period, from June 21 to August 20, and not only learn about rural life, but are paid jointly by the farmer and the ministry. The students earn $16 a day, some of which goes to room and board, and they get every other weekend off, . Although Will' travels back to his home in Waterloo on his free weekends, he finds the change in pace and lifestyle a little hard on the nerves. "It's so busy in the city," Will claims, "Blyth is pretty small compared to Waterloo, but 'Tis Show Biz hard everyone knows everyone else and the people are friendly, In Waterloo you hardly know your next door neighbour." He is especially attracted to the outdoors and the quiet country- side ountryside where he can work without the annoying sounds of the city, Will found out :about the program through his local news- paper in Waterloo and applied at the Ministry of Agriculture there, After an interview with a ministry co-ordinator, Will was matched up with Jim Phelan, Although Jim' knew about the program last year, this is the first time Jim has had a student spending the summer with him, Jim feels that the program, which began several years ago as a trial project and is now in its fourth year on a regular basis, is excellent. "It gives the farmer a little extra help and the student insight into farming life," he noted, The students and the farmers must meet a set of qualifications before they are considered for the program. Len McGregor, at the agriculture office in Clinton explained that the student must not have worked on a farm before and the farmer must run a on Blyth farm fulltime operation, It is stressed that the program is not set up to allow the farmers cheap labour for the summer, but must be looked upon as a learning experience for the young people, Mr. McGregor was pleased to say that this has been the most successful year of the program, He noted that many of the 200 farmers throughout Ontario that are involved in the project are younger than before, and seem to get along well with the students, He was also glad to find out that out of the 11 young people in Huron County, six of those in the project were girls, "they .seem more enthusiastic than the boys," he explained, However enthusiastic the girls may seem, Willis is .far from lazy, Although getting up at 6:30 in the morning to milk a herd of 35 holsteins is a chore in itself, Will likes the farm because he can put in a full day's work and always be busy. Will does not shun away from farming chores either. Even. though he was a little dismayed the first day he had to clean pens and the first time he had to hay, he now shrugs his shoulders and says, "you gave to get used to it, Gloria Kaye reaching stardom By VO " F' She was just a bis i the first time she Mood behind a micro- phone and sang a song, But even then she had a big voice and a very distinctive style. She still isn't very big but that distinctive style has stayed with her and is making her a very popular Canadian star and personality, "She" is Gloria Kaye - the little gal who has been appearing ' regularly with Tommy Hunter and this summer stars in a new series, "Sunshine Hour", in the Hunter time slot on Fridays. If you had not heard of Gloria before she lightened the Hunter series it isn't because she popped into show business from nowhere. She's been singing sincc she was a child of three back in Frains, Alberta, 120 miles north of Edmonton. The youngest of five children born to a Ukrainian couple, she was born 20 years ago and named Slavka which means glorious in English. Her last name, Kolmatycki, was not exactly an easy name for the most aware public to remember so she changed it to Kaye and made the glorious Gloria. At the age of four, encouraged by her brother Paul who later became and still is her manager, she won a talent contest and cut her first record. When she was five, she made her first album. Then, at the ripe old age of 6, she sang for an RCMP convention in Edmonton 'and received $3,000 from the Moun- ties' wives to help her career. When she was eight, Paul sent a tape from a local talent show to the Tommy Hunter Show, The response: "Come to Toronto". So , she did - with Paul, of course - and�while she sang with Hunter he taught school. She boarded with one of the Allan sisters, Jackie, who is married to musical arranger Art Snider, so she was constantly surrounded with' music and show biz advice. For three years, she attended school in Toronto and appeared on all the musical shows emanating from that city. Then the musical famine hit , television and since Gloria was too young for clubs, her career was temporarily at a standstill. She went back home, a lonely young lady because her friends had changed or left. But she finished high school in Edmon- ton, at the same time fitting in • ballet lessons, jazz dancing, • drama, piano and guitar, and weekend performances in and around Edmonton. She also studied in Los Angeles, spent some time in London recording and' at 17, returned to 'Toronto where she did commercials for television, though only as the voice behind the product. She now lives in the Casa Loma district of the city with Paul. All this has made an extremely confident mature performer of Gloria, as the new summer series is showing. No longer is she the country gal; she can handle anything and do it well. And one thing you must say about her: she has never tried to imitate anyone. Her distinctive style remains; she is Gloria Kaye and no one else. In Canadian television, where there is such a scarcity of musical talent that they could not even award an ACTRA award for that category, she is refreshing. "The Sunshine Hour" is produced and directed before a live audience at the CBC Halifax Studios. Starring with her on the series is Tom Gallant and Jim Bennet who first gained fame with the "Singalong Jubilee" gang. In addition to her television duties, she has also made a new rTHE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 28, 1976.

However Wth a helping hand from Jim, ill has mastered the art of driving a tractor, Even though Will is enjoying his summer, and is the envy of many friends in Waterloo, he really does not feel that he couid survive as a farmer. "I don't mind working on the farm," he said, "but 1 wouldn't want to run one, there's too many problems, especially if they cut recording which was released to coincide with the debut of Sunshine Hour. Perhaps, finally, we have found our very own musical -variety star -• in Gloria Kaye!! . Speaking of of the lack of Canadian talent, there has been more static at the Canadian National Exhibition this year because Canadians are left outside in_ the cold. Fact is that riot many Canadian performers are big enough to draw an audience to the CNE so they head where the box-office appeal is. Bachman Turner Overdrive will be appearing August 24; they are Canadians. But from then on, it looks kinda south -of -the -border, with Lawrence Welk coming the 26th and 27th; Johnny Cash on the 29th and Neil Sedaka on September 2. As in all things, money talks, and the CNE will not gamble on Canadian talent. A prophet'truly is without honor in his own land.

Although Will was not inter- ested in the quota news when he heard it on the news in Waterloo, he now knows how the system works by talking with Jim, "When 1 first heard about the farmers and the quota, I didn't care, but as soon as 1 came to the farm, 1 realized all the problems it could create," Will said with a shake of his head, Even though Will feels he could not take the burdens and the problems of farming as his career, he certainly has learned a . lot about farm life and now can go back to the city with a greater understanding and appreciation of another lifestyle.

We've been mislead Call it boosterism or false pride or downright dishonesty but Canadians have been led down the garden path for many years now about the resources of the country and we're beginning to pay for it, This thought came to mind again this week following a speech by Dr. B.B. Migicousky, assistant deputy minister for research, from Agriculture Canada. The doctor was pointing out a fact that Canadians are only slowly starting to understand. With less than seven percent of our land used for agriculture, he said, we cannot hope to be the breadbasket of the world. Just five years ago, no one would have believed him, Of course_ just , five years ago, Canadians were also secure in the knowledge that they, among all the world's countries, had infinite supplies of oil, natural gas, iron ore, gold and just about every other nafural resource; We'd been told that over`and over again. We were the land of the future we were told and we happily repeated itto each other so often that it became an accepted fact. But suddenly, about three years ago, the bottom dropped out of that fact. Suddenly, rather than having infinite supplies of everything we were in short supply of nearly everything. Prices soared for oil and gas and we were told that in a few short years, we wouldn't even be able to meet our own needs let alone export as we'd long been told we could. Worse, we found out that while we couldn't support our own meagre needs, the Americans who we'd always confidently felt would have to come begging to us for help when they wasted their own resources, actually could see self-sufficiency. The same thing has happened with farming. We've been led to believe over many years of propaganda that Canada was the breadbasket of the world, that -we could do much to feed the teaming masses of Asia and Africa. Now that too is exposed as a myth. Dr. Migicousky calls for action to save what farmland is left from the fast spreading blight of urban spralyl. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture and other farm groups have provided figures to show that if action isn't taken soon, Ontario, one,of the largest food producirig provinces, might have to be a net importer of food not too many years in the future. • With all the money that governments lay out for studies, it would be interesting to see some of that money used to study just who led us to this perilous position we're now in and if there was an honest mistake, or if there was deliberate misleading of the public. It would also be nice to see governments taking some positive action to help us out of the problem, not ignoring it as they are now. Security men just can't win If there isn't a story there, the people of the big city press seem bound to create one. That's been shown again and again at the Montreal Olympics. On one hand the journalists covering the games are complaining about security being too tight. Many have complained about being delayed by security guards while their credentials were checked, over being not given proper treatment while covering this or that event and of a hundred and one other things (members of the big-time press are generally pretty spoiled individuals who are used to being pampered wherever they go). On the other hand, journalists also spend a good deal of time complaining about how inept and lax security officials are. A London Free Press columnist wrote Tuesday of how he and a friend walked right into a meeting of the International Olympic Committee when"they weren't supposed to be allowed near the meeting. He told of stbries of how people pretend to be athletes and sneak into the Olympic Village to visit friends. Tomorrow, .however, he'll likely be telling how the guards were hassling this or that athlete and how terrible it is. What, one wonders, do people expect. The answer is they seem to expect the impossible. They would be horrified if somethinghappend at the Montreal Olympics such as the terrorist attack at the Munich games, yet at the same time, they resent the, security people. They want to be left, alone but somehow have all the "bad guys" n iraeulotisly caught before they can do anything bad. The strangest of all reactions has been the reactions of the West German press corps. Reporters and photographers from that country have been doing their best to make it seem like the security officials at Montreal are Hitler's brown shirts all over again. Reporters, who generally stick together tended to believe the Germans at first, but after awhile of watching the Germans began to suspect that the Germans were creating situations just so they could make the security officials look, bad. This from the country that hosted the Munich massacre a country that should appreciate the need for tight security to try to prevent anything like that from happening again. It certainly doesn't do anything to build up the credibility of the press. • Behind. the Scenes I'm just a misfit in this generation materialistic young adults who BY KEITH ROULSTON are willing to shop in the Do you ever get the feeling expensive boutiques for things, you've been born in the wrong $35 T:shirts and $120 silk blouses times? or white asparagus by Maurice i get the idea often, whenever 1\ Bougault at $14 a jar.

We can't as those kids found out, escape the realities of life in the 20th century. Yet we don't have to go the other way either, on an all-out spending binge that sees us throw money around right and left. Where is the commitment, I wonder, of those crusading youngsters who wanted to improve the world? Does the world improve by having the latest foreign sports car? Does a closet full of expensive clothes help make the world a better place to live? What have these people done to the consciences that were once so strong that they can now live in a sumptuous condominium while people on the other side of the world go to bed without food? There must be something terribly unstable about a genera- tion that can go in one 10 -year -period from being super - non -materialistic to being the world's greatest ever spenders on luxury items, What will they want 10 years from now, one wonders?

It can introduce a meal, complement a meal, end a meal, or even be . the meal, but whatever its use, a salad is by no means a haphazard creation. Even the simplest of salads must be prepared with care and attention to details, if it is to be a success, say food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The greens must be fresh, clean, dry and crisp. Fruit must be ripe, fresh, cool and clean. The dressing must be a perfect blend of seasonings, selected to make the salad distinctive and to complement the meal for which it is served. Become distinctive with your own salads. Try new combina tions of fruits and vegetables. Try different saladreens. Experi- ment g P ment with different vinegars or combinations of vinegars.

PG. 7. Save your power, save your money' If you notice your power bill continuing to, shoot upward, perhaps you need a refresher course on how to save kilowatts, A slight change of a few well-established bad habits can be a beginning to conserving energy -. which means money, Most people think that the real culprits arc convenience gadgets such as can openers, coffee grinders, or electric mixers, but these appliances actually require very little energy, report food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Much larger users of energy are major appliances that heat or cool and operate for long periods of time, such as ranges, refrigerators, and freezers, If you can concentrate your conservation efforts in these areas, you may be able to reduce your power bill substantially. Be stingy with your range: 1. Use big pots on big burners; small pots on small burners. Flat-bottomed pots arc more efficient than ones with curved bottoms. 2. Use a saucepan or frypan big enough for the recipe that you arc preparing, but not too large. 3. Check your oven for accuracy. Have faulty switches, burners and thermostats profes- sionally and promptly fixed. Preheat your oven just long enough for it to reach the desired temperature; any longer, and you're wasting fuel. When possible, cook more than one dish at a time in the oven, An oven meal makes the most efficient use of energy. Finally, remember to turn oft the burners and oven when you have finished using them. Freeze that refrigerator bill where it is: 1. Don't stand in front of an open fridge deciding what you want to remove. Decide ahead of time, so that you don't waste money airconditioning the kitchen Tips on keeping annuals i\n bloom Most spring annuals should be fully in bloom by now, despite their late planting. J.K. Hughes, horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, says many homeowners delayed planting their spring annuals because of the cold weather around the May 24 weekend, but these flowers are now in bloom, To maintain that colour and bloom for a while longer, Mr, Hughes recommends adding fertilizer. Annuals are fast' growing plants and therefore require a fair amount of nourish- ment. A complete fertilizer such as a 10-10.10 compound that is water soluble should be used, Mr, Hughes says this is the same type of fertilizer used by greenhouse growers. Apply the fertilizer at a rate of one to two tablespoons for every gallon of water. Mr. Hughes warns gardeners to check the label on the fertilizer container carefully if 'your proportions differ, Be careful not to get any of the fertilizer on the shrubs or trees whose growth you are interested in slowing down. with the refrigerator, 2. If leaving on vacation, reset the temperature control to a lower number, 3. Keep the fridge full. A half -empty appliance uses more energy because air is harder to keep cold than chilled food. 4. If you unit is not frostfree, don't allow the frost to build up more than a quarter -inch in the freezer section. For further information contact: Carroll G.

Summer of '76 toughtime,ior M.P.s By BILL SMILEY It must be an uneasy time for members of parliament. First, they were forced to vote .on a moral question, the abolishment of capital punishment, in what must have been an agonizing examination of conscience versus expedience, for many. Despite the fact that the bill squeaked through, most M.P.s turned out to be this year, and back to their own constituencies for a couple of months : of fence -building, baby -kissing and must know that most Canadians are against it, And it's that same majority that elects those same M.P.s. Enough to make a politician lose a little sleep, ch? Next they say a comparatively small group of Canadians, the airline pilots, thumbing their noses at the government, and getting away with it, And once' again, it was pretty obvious that a majority of Canadians was solidly behind the pilots. There is little doubt that most M.P.s will be happy to get out of the pressurecooker Ottawa has Westfield and news items BY MRS.

Belgrave has chap changed over years, studyshows An attitude and population study prepared by Nick Hill, planning consultant for Lorne Humphrey, the developer, con- tains interesting facts and figures about the residents in Belgrave. The society of Belgrave has changed considerably over the last century. At one time people from the village were mainly employed by local industries and commerce. Today the population is mainly retired farm folk, The pattern is typical of many small Auburn girl showered Miss Doreen McClinchey was honoured last Saturday evening with a bridal Shower at the home of her aunt, Mrs, John Forrester at Lucknow by relatives from Blyth, Holmesville, Auburn, Lucknow, Hensel!, Donnybrook and Wingham. Pink, yellow and green flowers and a yellow umbrella decorated the room. Mrs. John Forester pinned a corsage on Doreen made by Karen McClinchey. Contests were given by Wendy Forester, Janice McClinchey and Mrs, Garth McClinchey. An adjective story was told by Mrs. John Forester, Gifts were brought in by Janice. Assisting in opening the gifts were Mrs. Doug McCullough and Glenyce McClinchey and Wendy Forester pinned bows on an apron. Doreen thanked everyone for their gifts. Lunch was served by Mrs. John Forester, Mrs, Garth McClinchey, Wendy Forester, Janice and Glenyce -McClinchey, Auburn news briefs Mr. and Mrs. Allison Gard - house of Midland were weekend visitors with their aunt Mrs. Beth Lansing. Mr. and Mrs, Robert Cook of Glencoe spent the weekend with her parents Mr. and Mrs. William Moss. Benefit night\ fr held for family A social evening was held last Friday evening in the Auburn , Community Memorial hall for Mr, and Mrs. Manfred Losereit, Annetta and Pamela of the Maitland Block, Hullett Township who recently lost their barn and new shed by fire. Games and cards were enjoyed and an address prepared by Mrs, Elliott Lapp was read by Gordon Daer. A purse of money was presented to them on behalf of neighbours and friends by Larry Johnston: Mr, Losereit thanked everyone for their gift. Lunch was served by Mrs, Elliott Lapp, Mrs, James Schneider, Mrs. Brian Hallam, Mrs, Garth McClinchey, Mrs. Ted Hunking, Mrs, Hans Boonstoppel and Mrs. Larry Johnston. Picnic held to celebrate birthuay A family picnic was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Edgar to celebrate Mrs, Irlma Edgar's birthday, Those present were Mr. and Mrs, Niel Edgar and Kimberly, Wingham; Mr, and Mrs. Roger Bieman, Kent and Blair of RR 2, Lucknow; Murray Edgar, Sheila Shobbrook, Mr. and Mrs. Edward ' Daer, Terry and Patricia of Wingham: Mr, and Mrs. Charles Johnston, Mr, and Mrs. Don Craig, Debbie aqd Douglas of Blyth; Mr, and Mrs. Nelson Hunkin of Teeswater and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Stonehouse; settlements where the industrial base has declined dramatically. At the turn of the century Belgrave boasted 'a- number of mills, hotels, stores, a tannery and harness shop. The social structure was quite simple, based upon common interests and share work, Most of the residents were skilled and unskilled labourers working in the different local businesses, Because transporta- tion was poor, most manufactur- ing and food processing of farm goods had to be done locally and so there wa`s a close interdepend- ence between the town and farm hinterland, By the end of the nineteenth century, transportation improved and manufacturers centralized in large cities where more and cheaper products were produced.: The rural -town interdependence lessened until today in Belgrave there is only the local mill. The chief function of the hamlet has, changed and it has become a focal point for church, community and recreational activities, A breakdown of the occupation of household heads shows that more than half are retired, 46 of 79. The rest are labourers, 9; skilled labourers', 9; business- men, 10 and professional, 5. A survey of 25 household heads, in proportion to ' the different occupations, measured attitudes. To the question "Why did you decide to live in the village?", 51.6 percent said they were retired farmers from the local area who chose Belgrave because it was the nearest small settlement, Before moving they had enjoy- ed long-standing social and to a lesser extent, business ties with Belgrave. Of the remaining per centage, all but five household heads were from local families or came from close -by locations, 'Hie five respondents from outside the Belgrave arca chose to live because of the reasonably priced lots and homes as compared to Wingham and other towns. Long-time residents said they did not know sonic of, the new residents, which indicates that:' the older residents keep to themselves while the new people establish different ties. 1 The social activities of the respondents centred around the village, particularly the church, community centre, library and home. On the other hand, shopping and other services arc obtained from outside the hamlet. Although three of the 25 people interviewed shopped only in Belgrave, the others supplement- ed local shopping with regular visits to other towns, particularly Wingham, Most of the household heads made trips to Wineham for health care also; A majority 'felt shopping facilities in Belgrave are adequate and most expressed a desire to see an expansion of such services. Other needs mentioned were more parkland, municipal services, such as sidewalks and lights and a residence for senior citizens. Statistics prove interesting Statistics are often as dry and uninteresting but much useful information can be obtained from them. Sizes of population, the number of males and females and rural and urban breakdowns are just some of the facts that can be found, A look at the same type of statistics, say thirty years apart illustrates trends, Huron County's population has grown significantly, in both urban and rural sectors. In 1941 there were 11,740 urban ,people and 32,002 rural, which came to a total of 43,742. Compare this to 1971 figures and you can see just • how large the jump was - 19,590 urban and 33,360 rural adding up to 52,950 people, However, by 1975, the population was down to 51,412. As of June 1, 1975, there were 440 more males than females sincc•there were 25,485 females and 25,926 males, If Huron County teenagers want to marry someone of the same age from their own county, the odds arc against it since the largest male age group is ten years to 14 with 2,885 guys and the largest number of gals arc in the age group 15 to 19 years, numbering 2,830, Siniilar statistics for Bruce County show a slightly different pattern. In 1941, the population was 41.680 with 11,631 urban and 30,049 rural while in 1971 the total was up to 47,385 divided down to 17,575 residents in the urban areas and rural folk' numbering 29,815. In 1975 the Bruce total had risen to 49,035, Like Huron County, Bruce had more males than females up to .lune 1, 1975; There were 24,827 males and 24,208 females, making a difference of 519 males. As to the largest age group for each gender, the results were a reverse to Huron County. 'i'hc largest number of stales, 2,761 were IS to 19 years old while the largest group for females is ten to 14 years at 2,622, Huron County and Bruce County .should get together. {` , Although Ontario is 'the mist' highly industrialized province in Canada, a large part of it remains rural. In 1971,, oft 54''‘Ontario counties, 14 had'jiiglicr rural than' urban populations. This makes close to a quarter of the counties rural. According to the Dictionary of 1971 Census Ternis, put out by now defunct Statistics 'Canada, the concept "rural" includes all 'r r t GOOD SUIT BUYS Mens Leisure Suits I Tan, Brown and Blu All sizes, priced fro $69.95 $105 Men's Ready to Wear '.uits with Vests in Blue, G -nd Bro n Sizes 36 0 46 $115.0 R.W.MADILL's� 6H ES, MEN'S. & BOYS' WE;; #,CLi TON DRY CLEANERS .K ��A MAD MUMMY parts of incorporated rural muni- cipalities, unorganized territories and. Indian reserves having a population density of less than 1,000 per square mile and incorporating cities, towns and villages with populations less thah 1,000. Most of the rural areas have typical characteristics: low population density, farms or wooded land, On the other hand, the concept of "urban" is defined as incorporated municipalities with a population of 1,000 or over and having the legal status of city, town or village (which niay have much of their space occupied by farms), unincorporated places of 1,000 population or over, having a 'population density of at least 1,000 per square mile and the urbanized fringe if it has 'a niininium population of at least 1,000 per square mile. Urban characteristics for all but the first definition are continuity of settlements and very few, if any, farms. . t!© rrr• '•leml� l 01 000 WIN 91 are Answers to the' question, "Would you like to see the community grow?" indicated that a large percentage (86 per cent) were in favour of or unopposed to growth in the village, But 47 per cent of these qualified their answers by stating they were against rampant developed and overpopulation. Three of ,the 25 heads were opposed to any development whatsoever, The qualities of living in Belgrave most appreciated are the friendliness of the villagers, the country -like atmosphere, the small size of the community and village activities. Many felt that because Belgrave is It small settlement "you are still some-, one", How would you like Belgrave to grow?" was a question asked to find out the quality of develop- ment wanted by villagers, Re- spondents wished to see the village grown in an integrated manner as one community so that the new development would not be exclusive or isolated, It was hoped that the newcomers would strengthen the spirit of rural community living and become Belgravians.

PG, 12. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 28, 1976. DEAR ANN LANDERS: This letter is based strictly on my own feelings about cigarets, after 24 years of smoking, I'm ashamed to admit I'm still at it. 1 doubt that my words will have the slightest impact on the heavily addicted. For me, all the words in the world will not take the place of that first cigaret in the morning. l'd rather address myself to your readers who are 17, as 1 once was, with a set of healthy lungs, white teeth. clean blood coursing through my veins •• and in my pocket my first package of cigarets. How was I to know that 24 years later I'd be so hooked that any thought of quitting would be out of the question? How could I know, at 17, that l'd be %yaking up each morning to a mouth that tastes like the bottom of a bird cage? How could 1 know my teeth would be stained dark brown and my chest would feel as if it were filled with cement dust'' All I knee is til.+t smoking was the cool thing to do. t made me feel grim 11 tip. Although I h.n c nes or seen In lungs, I know how they (1 I5 \look. My uncle. ss hi is a surgeon, once showed me some "before" and „after" pictures. "Sit in on an autopsy one of these days." he said. "You'll see that the non-smoker's lungs are a bright pink. When 1 open up the chest cavity of a smoker. I can at once tell about his habit, because the entire respiratory system is nearly black. depending on how long he has smoked." (Mine muss look like lumps of coal.) Still I continue the filthy habit. going half crazy on mornings when I'm out of cigarets. 1 go digging through ashtrays and wastebaskets 1'or a long butt to satisfy my erasing. I pace the floor like a hungry lion, waiting for the store to open. Then l hurry, unshaven, and_ hand over another 55 cents for a package of suicide. With that first puff I realize nothing about it tastes good.,• Those ads arc a lot of malarkey: But the people who sell cigarets couldn't care less about mc. I'm hooked and they love it. They run those sexy ads, telling you to, Pro -lifers meet in Wingham Stay away from cigarettes, writer warns "C'nmon," But don't be fooled, •Seventeen, it's not a bandwagon you'll be hopping on.

The min- utes of the previous meeting and the treasurer's report were adopted as read. Some of the topics of discussion included the possibility of pur- chasing some new slides, and also of organizing a Nurses' Pro -Life group.

Canada's toughest critic hails Summer Festival t.iina Mallett theatre critic for Canada's largest daily newspaper the Toronto Daily Star was in the " audience Friday ; night for a performance of The Blood is Strong at Blyth Summer Festival, It was with considerable apprehension that , local theatre supporters picked up copies of the Star on Monday afternoon, Ms, Mallett is generally regarded as the toughest critic in Canada, so sharp is her pen that artistic directors of Toronto -area theatres, including Robin Phillips '- of Stratford and the Shaw Festival's chief, recently got up a petition asking that she be tired, The lady's reputation was such that knowledge of her coming to Blyth waswithheld from the actors for fear it would put them into a state of shock and create a poor performance. But the lady loved it. The headline in the Star read "Blyth Festival's musical something of a minor classic", The review read: The road to the Blyth Summer Festival is through gold and • green fields dotted with, prim, brick farmhouses half hidden among clusters of barns and silos, The tiny town of Blyth, Another story hour planned, at ,library THE INVISIBLE CORD By perfect summer for her, CATHERINE COOKSON It was a wartime wedding, a STORY HOUR ' white wedding, but it was not a The next Story Hour for love match.

Of their four children, the eldest, Rance, was the mother's favdrite. Mother and son were bound together by an invisible cord, 'strong enough to become a noose for both of them. This dramatic narrative shows great warmth and the power of love. IT ALL ENDS UP IN' A SHOPPING BAG By PAUL KLIGMAN • Here is a memoir to touch the heart and linger in the memory. It depicts the bittersweet reveries of a son, long departed, who returned home upon his father's death. With a blend of humour and pathos, it is written for any son who ever loved his father -- and never got a chance to tell him how much, ROUGH WATER BY ROLAND PERTWEE Rough Water is another story in The Islanders series in which three boys spend midsummer weeks in a country setting' where a "salmon" river, a vast woods, and a'rabbity hillside allow them. to live off the land. They arc' joined by a fourth boy, Sonny, whose unwelcome presence al• • `s most plays havoc with a long- established friendship. STARS FOR CRISTY By MABEL LEIGH HUNT Summer stretched ahead for Christy, full of things she wanted to do, There was the reading project at the library, the course in baby care, and the ever- present excitement of living in a crowded city apartment. Then Cristy was invited to spend two weeks in the country. Here in addition to other things, there was a horse. This indeed made a What's new at Huronview One hundred residents were entertained at the two Bar B•Ques which were held this week on Monday and Thursday on the East Patio. A musical program was arranged for Family Night by Mrs. Henderson of Home and provided by the residents with some help from the staff; Instrumentals were played by Mrs. Elsie Henderson, Mrs. Myrtle Parker, Norman Spcir and Jerry Collins, Vocal solos by Chester Archibald, Wayne Lester, and Morgan Dalton. A vocal Duct by Elsie Henderson and Sarah Carter, Two numbers by the Men's chorus including Wayne, Morgan, Chester, Norman, Bob Taylor and Andy Scott with Glady Stanlake assist- ing with the action number. population 890, is about 140 miles northwest of Toronto, The guide- book information is important,, because Blyth's festival is,only in its second year (its first with a professional company) and far 'as it sounds from the city, it's in fact only 30 or so miles from the motels and restaurants of Stratforfd. This summer, Blyth is present- ing in its repertory of four Canadian plays (a musical of Harry Boyle's Mostly in Clover, Alice Munro's How I Met My Husband, and Jim Schaefer's Olympic salute, Shape) a musical version of Lister. Sinclair's The Blood is Strong. This is the kind of show that should be in more summer repertories; it a gift to actors and audience alike, Ostensibly, an account of the struggle of a Scottish immigrant family to eke out a living on Cape Breton Island in the early 1800s, the play captures with deceptive simplicity both the imagination and emotions. The Blood is -Strong is in epic style, nothing less than the life of Murdoch MacDonald, a Calvinist who yields his affections with the reluctance of a man forced to part with gold, His wife Mary is the family diplomat who smoothes "the lives of their children, adventurous James and pretty Kate, both of whom are turning Canadian at an alarming rate, Murdoch is always planning to take them all home for good, but his thrift thwarts him. Suddenly, time runs out; Kate marries a bumptious .trapper•turned• lawyer; James is lost at sea; Mary dies; and Murdoch is really alone, and whether he likes it or not, a foundation pebble of the new world. Awesomely straightforward and admittedly with a somewhat contrived ending. The Blood is Strong is something of a minor classic conveying an experience .that is authentically Canadian and universally moving. The creation of a new life in a new world is an act of falai'. and courage that, regardless ' of ' personality, resounds "with Renaissance grandeur; man once again at the centre of the universe, whose every decision carries in it the seeds of heroism. The Blyth production, directed by the festival's artistic director James Roy, and Steven Thorne, shines with honesty. It's true tha) the music, by Glenn Morley, and Thorne's lyrics do not add much to the drama, and sometimes even hamper it. But they do help establish the atmosphere of homespun clothes and dandelion coffee, As for the actors, they have made the Blyth Memorial Hall stage their home. There is not an awkward outsider among them. In particular, Alfred Humphreys is the kind of brash trapper any girl would like to be caught by; Sharon Noble is wry and touching as Murdoch's favorite doormat; and James Blum makes the son Jamie all hot-headed vitality. My only quibble is with Murdoch. Why did Brendan McKane have to look so much older than everyone else? The effect needlessly overemphasizes the patriarchal nature of his role. = 1 1 11111111I1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111'11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111IIL E.

Mr, and Mrs. Howard Camp- bell returned on Tuesday from a Watch for blossom end rot. in tomatoes At this time of year we see many examples of blossom end rot on tomatoes. It is not a disease but a disorder usually caused by a calcium deficiency, a lack of water at some point during the growing season, or a combination of the two. - Blossom end rot shows up as a dark arca with a rotted appear- ance on the end of the tomato away from the stem, says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist J.K. Hughes. The tomatoes lose their firmness and shape. When the plant is experiencing water stress, the nutrient calcium is not able to move freely to the extreme parts of the fruit and a deficiency occurs, this causes the cells to break down and rot sets in. To prevent blossom end rot, water the plants once a week when there is no rain. Make sure they are well mulched and try to keep the calcium levels up in the soil. The application of a foliar spray may help correct a calcium deficiency, although this has not yet been proven to be a conclusive remedy. Once blossom end rot has set in, there is nothing you can do about it. Mr. Hughes recommends you discard the rotten tomatoes, either in the compost heap or the garbage.

Alfred Humphries (left] stars as the young runner from a small town who wins his way to the 1936 Olympics in Berlin In Jim Schaefer's Olympic tribute Shape, the last production of the Blyth Summer Festival. Brendan McKane stars as his tough coach and Dianne Hawkins as the young German track star he meets there. Theatre review Shape features fine music BY KEITH ROULSTON The Blyth Summer Festival has' taken for itself a tough and risky task in producing nearly all new material this year and the opening night of Shape on Tuesday showed just how much care must be taken in such a venture. It isn't that Shape is bad, it's just that with the high standard set by other productions over the past two years, it's a tough standard to live up to. There are many good ideas in the show but many just don't seem to come off. The play was written by Jim Schaefer, the talented actor, writer and director of children's workshops at the Festival. It was commissioned by the Festival as part of the Cultural Olympics program sponsored by Wintario. The program was announced so late that Schaefer didn't get a chance to start writing until late this spring. Since then he's squeezed his writing in around his acting and directing assign- ments. Perhaps it is this for that Charles Cunningham dies, in Clinton CHARLES LESLIE CUNNINGHAM Charles Leslie Cunningham died in Clinton Public Hospital Saturday July 17. He was 71. The son of Mr. and Mrs. William Cunningham, he was born August 16, 1904. 'On December 4, 1946 he married Josephine Edge in Seaforth, Ontario. The couple resided in Scaforth and then moved to Mitchell, then back to Scaforth and then on to Clinton. He was a member of St. Paul's Church in Clinton. Mr. Cunningham is survived by his wife. The funeral was held Tuesday, July 20 at the Ball Funeral Home in Clinton. Rev. Sharples of St. Pauls Anglican Church officiated. Interment followed at Maitland Bank in Seaforth. Pallbearers were Reg Aubin, Charles Reeves, Don Middleton, Ralph Bennewies, Edwin Benne- weis and Lloyd Appleby. reason that the play doesn't seem to have the same spark and consistency as Schaefer's usual work. At times it seems to wander aimlessly while at others, as in the second act it moves strongly. • The play tells the story of a young runner from a mythical town who goes to the Olympics at Berlin in 1936 and the triumph and heartbreak he found along the way. The show opens strongly with the little song sung by the company. Throughout the music by Ann Lindsay and Mitchell Lewis is good and is performed excellently by the orchestra led by Shelley C. Smith and comprised of Jack Blum, Joe Miller and Miss Smith. Fredrick Thury directs his cast well and one place the production is not below Festival standards is in the acting. As usual, it's superb. Alfred Humphries takes the lead rote and gives probably his most versatile performance yet. Brendan McKanc as his tough -hearted coach turns in his usual strong performance. Sharon Noble docs a good job filling out the small part as the runner's mother. Lynda Langford and Dianne Hawkins turn in strong performances as his two girl friends and Kirk Mitchell as the mysterious Col. Heasley. Mitchell and all the cast show strong singing voices. Michael Harris' set in brown and silver is striking and allows a variety of different levels and work areas for the actors. in all, it's just not up to the usual fare at the Festival and could probably have used more time both in the writing and rehearsal stages. The problem with the tight Festival schedule however, is that the time wasn't available.
