At the August meeting of the Federation, members decided on a brief to be delivered August 4 to the hearing ' committee in Goderich considering the proposal and decided on a strongly worded brief to state their opposition. The government proposal 'would sec all property assessed at market value but taxes on farmland would be paid by the government while taxes on all residents, both urban and farm, would be paid at a rate of 50 per cent of the assessed value. Puolic institutions like schools and hospitals would also have to pay taxes. The Federation members felt that the payment of farmland taxes by the government would only strengthen the opinion many ill-informed people have that farmers are dependent on governments for handout. They. also wondered if there wouldn't be some question of the ownership of land if another party (the government) pays taxes on that land for an extended period of time, The brief will express the fear that if farmers don't pay all their taxes then they may los d some of their voicein dealing with township councils and that control of Blyth has new residents thanks to Amin For most people, the situation in Uganda where President Idi Amin is killing more and more people in his seemingly endless insanity is deplorable. It is, however, half a world away and Canadians have a hard time relating when they have problems closer at home, But for Ab and Habiba Jiwa who assumed ownership this week of the former Cook's Superior Store, the knowledge of the Ugandan tragedy is all too close at hand, The couple lived in Uganda until 1972 and owned two small factories and a fleet of trucks. Then without warning Amin •decided that all foreigners must go. Most of the businesses in Uganda were operated by non-native Ugandans and all the property was confiscated. As Kenyan citizens, the couple fled to Kenya where 'Ab's family owned businesses. . Still, though they lost everything, the Jiwas were, in a way, lucky. Many Kenyans still living in Uganda are being killed and those remaining are trying to flee for their lives to Kenya. Like many former Ugandans, the Jiwas heard a lot about Canada: about the friendliness of the people and the stability of the government. They decided to immigrate to • Canada, They are very thankful, they say, for the way the Canadian government treated them when they decided to come to Canada. Theyarrived in Canada early last year and settled in Kitchener, There, instead of owning a factory, Ab (his full name is Abdulhaqrasul) found himself working in one. The couple wanted to get back into business for themselves and began to look at the possibilities. They decided it would be better to move to a small town rather than try to get established in the city. They came to Blyth, they said, several times . before they bought the • business from Borden and Jean Cook and liked the town. They've found the people, they say, very friendly, and have particular praise for the Cooks who have been helping them get settled The settling -in period may be a little -difficult, Ab realizes, because they are adjusting to a new town, a new country and a new kind of business all at the same time. But they're looking forward to life in Canada and in Blyth. Canada and Kenya have many similarities, Ab says and the lifestyle is much the same. The one big difference, however, is the Canadian winter, The family managed to live through its first winter in Kitchener, The couple has one child, a daughter Noorshila who will be -entering school this fall and another child is on the way. reform • trespassers may be made more difficult since a hunter or snowmobiler may feel he has a right to recreational use of land if provincial tax money goes to pay taxes on', the property. The brief that will be presented by President Adrian Vos says the new plan doesn't clear up inequities in the old system while creating some new ones such as the fact it appears a large landowner living in a small house would pay fewer taxes than a small landholder living in a big house. Taxation of public institutions, members decided, would simply be transferring money from one pocket to another. The government proposal that if a farm property changes to some other designa- tion for development the full taxes for the past 10 years be paid back plus eight per cent interest was objected to by the members. It was pointed out that this could be considered a smart investment, even an inducement to speculation. The Federation members proposed instead that farmland like buildings should be assessed at 50 per cent of productive value (the value of land for production purposes not speculative) and that landowners pay all the taxes. The Federation's, Property committee also .recommended opposition to the provincial plan saying its acceptance would tie farmers in to a cheap food policy. One member, Simon Hallahan, Reeve of East Wawanosh township wondered what voice a township woulol have in deciding on where money should be spent if the , provincial government was the largest taxpayer in the township. Another speaker suggested it was just another way of ramming through regional government. PG, 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 4, 1976. Paper urges The continuing problem of proper cost sharing for recreation in Huron County has again led to discussions about the possibility of a countywide recreation system, The Huron Expositor in Seaforth recently ran an editorial on the subject and we thought Blyth area readers would be interested in the thinking going on in some places. Once again there's a move afoot to get the county involved in recreation. So far the councils of Seaforth, Exeter and Goderich have agreed with the area recreation study committee who plan to ask county council to approve and give some grant money to area recreation. According to Seaforth recrea- tion director Clive Buist, the committee would like to see recreation areas established around the county's five towns. The plan might have Tuckersmith and McKillop part of Seaforth recreation area. and they'd share look at county recreation a director, an office and a program. Communities within a recreation area could still have their own committees. The Walton Rec. Committee would plan activities at the Walton park for example, recreation director Buist says, but they'd have a voice in the overall Seaforth Area Recreation Committee too. Area boundaries haven't been worked out, but the committee agrees this could be tricky. "Wars are continually waged because of boundaries," their brief says. What the county rec people want from County Council is a grant to help set up the areas which they hope will end recreational inequalities in the county, There's talk about' asking for two mills, county wide or about $35,000. There are inequalities in recreation in Huron. The larger places can afford full time recreation directors; some of .the smaller municipalities don't have the tax base fbr that. Some places in the county have marvellous facilities for recreation; some- times only the people of one municipality are paying for them in taxes while the people from several places use them. Area recreation, on a trial basis, just may be the way to eliminate bickering between municipalities over recreation and give every one legitimate access to all the facilities in each area. We think it's worth a try. There's .another study under- way in the county which aims at finding out what each municipal- ity spends on recreation, broken down so that, for example, arena spending by one township can be compared to spending on arenas by others. The rec directors hope it will clear up misunderstandings about who pays for what that arose when an earlier study oversimplified the recreation spending picture in Huron. system A couple of towns in the county have had to cut back their recreation programs because of lack of funds • Goderich, for example, has no playground a tivities this summer, Other places are involved in hassles over charging fees to non-resi- dents whose municipalities don't contribute to recreation costs. None of this would be necessary if recreation areas were set up. Seaforth's recreation director doesn't feel arca recrea- tion would cost much more than • all the smaller programs running independently do now. There would be initial set up and administrative expenses, and the grant from the county would cover that, The recreation people are not suggesting a county wide pro- gram - that would be too big and centralized, They've found that counties who have gone that route are changing back to an arca recreation system like the one proposed for Huron. Really they' are trying to get official recognition and support, along with a formal organization for a situation that already exists. Recreation in Huron goes outside municipal boundaries now. "It'll mean the maximum use of recreation for the minimum amount of money," Seaforth's recreation director says. Seaforth council seemed to agree when they endorsed the recreation area concept. it's hard to see how county council, with the good of all the citizens in Huron in mind, could disagree.

She will live in Don Mills. •- Photo by Rick Snell. office About a dozen people gathered in the Blyth Post Office Friday, July 30 at 100 p.m. for a s{irprise party in honour of the retirement of Mrs, Marcella McNall, who has completed a post office carreer in Blyth spanning almost 26 years, In attendance was Mr, Mel Farnsworth, ' Supervisory Post Master from Goderich, as well as other staff members from the Ooderich and Blyth offices and other guests. Mrs, McNall, genuinely surprised at this occasion, was the grateful recipient of several Rifts: a testimonial scroll signed by Take proper precautions to avoid swimming fatalities BY DAVID WOODS Watching the Olympic swimmers makes us realize how thoroughly human beings have mastered the water. Whoever said "if we'd been meant to swim, we'd have come equipped with fins and cold blood" could never have seen the 100 -meter crawl performed in well under a • minute. Less splashily, perhaps, than the aquatic elite of the Olympics, millions of Canadians neverthe- less take the plunge at this time of year. And why not? Swimming is good clean fun, It expands the lungs, exercises the heart and muscles...tones you up all over, and makes you feel good. If you do it sensibly, that is. But either through inexper- ience or over -confidence many people abandon sense when they abandon land, Last year, in Ontario, some 500 people drowned. Many of these fatalities could have been avoided had the victims taken proper safety precautions. To start with, know what you're getting into. Check that the water you plan to swim in has no obstacles like rocks or weeds. And ensure that the current isn't stronger that you are. If you're going to dive -- into a lake, a river, an ocean or a pool -- make sure you know how deep the water is, The reason for taking this precaution is to avoid spinal -corn injury, which may result in permanent paralysis. Since even the strongest swimmers can get into difficult- ies, it's advisable always to swim in company •- never alone. And swimming after dark, in a storm, or immediately following a heavy meal, can, spell trouble. Because' roughly a quarter of those who drowned last year were children under 10, particular attention should be paid to their safety. Kids who can't swim should never be allowed to rely on inflatable toys or on other floating objects like Togs , or rafts. And children should always be seen and heard i'hen playing near water. It's a good idea. to teach children to swine at as young an age as possible •• and, at the same time, to instruct them fully about water safety, so it becomes a habit. Since many water mishaps occur through poorly planned effots to help others, you should know that diving in after someone who's fallen from a boat can double the potential danger. The person overboard should be thrown an oar or rope or some buoyant object like a lifeb'.'lt, or even a gas can or thermos jug.• A pamphlet, 'Get in the Swim', is avnilablc free of charge from the Health Resource Centre, Communications Branch, Ontario Ministry of Health.

You may not need tins and cold blood to enjoy swimming, but you do need your wits, and a cool head, to do it safely. • Prime Minister Trudeau commending her years of service; a letter of appreciation from Ray Jones, District Director of Postal Services, London; a lovely bouquet of flowers presented by Miss Kay Whately on behalf of the Goderich Post Office Staff; and also a gift from her fellow workers at the Blyth office.

Another 'gift horse' Another government gifthorse is being looked in the mouth this week as a series of hearings into the Ontario government's property tax reform is held across the province. As usual with seemingly great ideas from the government there is more than meets the eye. For farmers across the province. the proposals seem too good to believe. The government proposes first of all to switch to market value assessment. The most attractive part of the package for farmers is the proposal that farmland be assessed at half market value and the provincial government wouid be paid by the government to the local municipalities. The farmer. like any other citizen. would then pay taxes only on the house. :1 recent farmers meeting poked a lot of holes in the proposal. Farmers. those present said. were happy to pay their own'taxes as long as the taxes were fair. They didn't want to continue the impression some urban people have that farmers get handouts from the government. they said. There were many other complaints but one stands out, one scan tine. Imigine the situation a township council would have if a landowner moved into the township and bought up 90 percent of the land. Imagine the council trying to deal with one taxpayer who paid that large a portion of the taxes. Would not the provincial government suddently he in that position? Under the new system a farmer would be Likely to pay ;ust as much taxes because the taxes on his house will increase. The only party likely to benefit would be the province which would then have even more clout than it now does in dealing wjth municipalities :1s one farmer at the meeting wondered. is this just another way of sneaking in regional government? Russians poor sports The performance of the Olympic team from the Soviet Union at Montreal might have been boosted if there had been a goad medal handed out for the category the Soviets distinguished themselves in most: poor sportsmanship. The Soviets. of course. led the medal parade at the games as they always do but their performance was far from awesome. When one sees the strong showing of little East Germany (1- million people but a close second to U.S.S.R. in medals) he might wonder why with the all-powerful Communist system and 350 million people the Soviets can't win all the medals. Yet in several areas the Soviets were expected to challenge they didn't. Their water polo team. for instance. played so poorly it was out of the medals early. then tried to pull out of the games and go home in a pout. Their rowing team missed the finals and tried to go home without finishing the competition. A fencer was thrown out for cheating. And on and on it went. capped finally by the Soviet temper tantrum over the defection of a young diver. The fuss over that particular episode seems completely out of hand. -In Montrel only one Soviet and four Romanians defected. In Munich the total of defections was over 100. Yet the Soviets insist on making fools of themselves saying that there was a giant plot to kidnap their athletes. They insist Sergei Mentsanov was not only kidnapped but brainwashed. even after having met with him and heard from the young man himself that he wants to stay in Canada. Nemtsanov defected on Friday and met with officials on Sunday afternoon, hardly enough time to have been brainwashed (of course the Soviets are experts on the subject and they may know of some quick treatment that the rest of us don't). At any rate. the actions of the Canadian government have been exemplary. They have granted Nemtsanov's request to stay in Canada, extending his visa until the end of January, leaving him completely free to make up his own mind in that time as to whether he wants to stay or return. The government has completely ignored the Soviet threats to pull out of the Olympics. to pull out of the Canada Cup hockey series and to cut all sports ties, and Mr. Trudeau and his boys should be thanked for that. The frightening thing. however, is that the next Olympics are in Moscow. If the Soviets can be.that childish abroad. one wonders, how bad might they be on their own home turf? 'Help our athletes While Canada was turning in something of a disappointing showing at the Olympics in Montreal last week. particularly' in track and field events. the youngsters of the Blyth district were showing that a little guy can beat the big guys. Once again the Blyth youngsters walked off with the championship at. the Lake Huron Zone playground track and field meet in Owen Sound. and captured four of six individual age group championships. Against such large centres as Owen Sound, Hanover and Kincardine, Blyth won the meet by a wide margin. Yet we do little to help these young people use their skills. There seems to be something of a warped perspective of sports in this community that we gladly go out and raise S200,000 for a new arena but won't take the few dollars and few hours needed to provide proper track and field instruction for its young stars. No one is arguing that we don't need a new arena, but don't the young track stars deserve as much help as the young hockey players and figure skaters? Harvest patterns BY KEITH ROULSTON I'm having withdrawal symptoms this week. Like any- thing else you've been hooked on: withdrawal from addiction to the Olympics can be painful. Oh I wasn't one of those who was totally hooked and watched even hour of even day as C.B.C. carried event' wheeze and sneeze of the athletes, but 1 did find myself in front of the television nearly every free minute for two weeks. My garden. as a result is hopelessly lost in weeds and my back is aching from trying to catch up...just one of the withdrawal pains. Now that it's all over, it's time to look back and think about what it was all about. The games were both a success and a flop. They were a success in that they stirred us mightily at times. They were a failure in that all Canadians didn't get wholeheartedly behind them in the first place and our government managed to give us a blackeye for playing petty politics on the Taiwan issue. Probably we would have been better off if we'd had the games 20 years ago. That was before the Taiwan issue came to a head in the first place (we just ignored Red China back then); it was before the black African nations did stupid things like boycotting the Olympics to try to hurt South Africa; before international terrorism made it impossible to have more than 30 people in one place without an armed guard to protect them; and before the English in Canada hated the French and vice -versa. It was also back when people in Canada were so hesitant about their national- ism that they'd never have created ugly scenes like booing a foreign athlete when he got his Olympic medal. Yet despite all the negative things, the games were a success. If, for instance, we'd held the games 20 years ago we would not Looking" back on our Olympics likely have conic away with I1 medals to show for it. Believe it or not we were even worse in those days than we are today. There was a good deal of pride watching those athletes. espec- ially the younger ones. Sure it would have been nice to win at least one gold, but we won't die for not winning. Our showing beside East Germany is paultry, but when you compare it to larger nations like Britain and France, it looks pretty good. We ended up eleventh in point totals, which isn't bad. We heard a lot about our athletes "choking" when the pressure was heavy and some, I think did. We've been told for years that our athletes just needed some financial aid and good coaching and they'd win. We were told that when they got in front of roaring Canadian crowds its would press them to their best. Yet we saw veteran athletes like Bruce Simpson, Debbie Brill and Dianne Jones, all those who have led the demand for more support, coming up,with performances that were far below what they arc capable of. Yet to put the effectiveness of our new athletic programs in the proper prospective, you have to look at all performances, What I personally noticed is that while the veteran athletes couldn't stand the heat, there seems to be a new brand of Canadian athicia on the way up who love the - pressure, Our young athletes were the ones who stole the show. Our teenage swimmers, some hardly out of diapers yet, fought valiantly against the older American men and East German women to establish Canada as one of the top three or four swimming powers in the world. While. Debbie Brill was messing up in the high jump. a Young 16 -year-old named Julie White was performing well. And then there was Greg Joy, youngest of three excellent Canadian high jumpers but the, only one who could . stand the pressure of performing in front of 70.000 screaming fans. The future of Canada in international sports looks good if we continue to work at it. We had the Pan American games in 1967, the Olympics in 1976 and will have the Commonwealth games in 1978 in Edmonton. The public- ity these receive may make us more conscious of the need for buildingsound bodies through athletics. Hopefully the government will continue its aid to top athletes and continue to provide top coaches because only by produc- ing stars can we encourage ordinary people, young and old, to emulate them. But hopefully we'll also start developing broad- based programs that extend swimming and track and field and all the other sports not just to the elite athletes, but to people in every 'town and village in the country. Only by drawing on all our resources can we hope to match the larger nations. We can't depend on Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, Edmonton and Vancouver to produce all our top swimmers and all our top trackstars. We've go to get them from every little town in the country. That way we not only have a chance to perform better at the Olympics, but we encourage physical fitness in Canada. Sports programs would not be ati expense if we accomplished that; they'd be a saving because we wouldn't have so many people in hospital for things they just wouldn't be there for if they "were physically fit, That would be a lot more important than any gold medals at the Olympics, As others see us THE BLYTH .STANDARD, AUGUST 4, 1976, PG, 5, Dutch visitors like what they see in Canada Recently some visitors from Holland visited relatives in Seaforth . and conveyed their impressions of Canada to the Huron Expositor. In general Albert and Ans Peck and Jan and Annie Sluis liked what they saw. Their views on Canada follow; "We arrived in Toronto on July 8 and this was our first visit to Canada. "On our way to Scaforth from Toronto We noted first the big cars compared to mainly small ones in Holland, This would not go over very well in Holland since gasoline is three times as expensive. We were also impress- ed with the long, straight, beautiful highways, indicating how big a country Canada really is, The enormous farms, the grain, and cornfields are really something to behold, "Also, we immediately noticed the hydro lines all above the ground for endless miles, which does not add to' the beauty of the landscape; however, we can understand- this the distances are so great. "We noticed that the popula- tion of towns and cities are also given on the town/city's name sign. This is something unheard of in Holland. Some names of towns and cities here are the same as hi Europe, eg. London, Paris, Dublin, Zurich, and this made us think of the old country. "We could appreciate the speed of the traffic and feel it much safer here in Canada than in Holland. Everybody stops at given stop signs, so it seems, and this gives us a feeling of safety. "Our overall impression of Canada is very good. Everybody seems to be working or willing to work. Our impressions it that with the dollar earned, one can still live very reasonably. "We made a comparison with the social security laws here and with Holland, and we have to admit that Canada's social security laws are better than in Holland. In Holland we think the social laws are pushed through too far. N.F.U. wants lower fuel • prices The National Farmers Union feels it is time to press for changes in the pricing of gasoline used on farms for agricultural purposes. . One of the resolutions approv- ed July 26 ,at the first day of the two-day summer meeting of the Ontario region of the NFU, called for cation "that will ensure fair gasoline prices" for fuel deliver- ed for farmers. The resolution indicates that for several years farmers have been paying about nine cents per .gallon more for gasoline delivered to the farms, for use in tractors and other farm equipment, than the same fuel is selling for at the regular service stations, Another resolution to be considered by today's session at the meeting here, deals with a previous request to government for action to protect farmers from farm implement dealers and companies producing the equip- ment. Several resolutions before the meeting deal with milk. One states the federal government's target price for milk is $11.02 per hundred pounds, and has never been received by farmers. Since the cost of producing milk is now about $14.40 per hundred pounds, the NFU resolution calls for action to ensure farmers receive at least their cost of production. Another resolution calls for the banning of the sale of soft drinks in schools and the availability of milk in those same schools.

In Holland it is mostly brick, "Being able to build your own house with your own design and blueprint is fabulous; and this is directly opposite to house plans and building in Holland.

Poor hay quality will increase feed costs Poor weather during the haying season in Huron county this year will likely result in added costs for farmers feeding livestock this winter, according to Don Pullen, Huron County Agricultural Re- presentative. Speaking to the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in Clinton on Thursday night Mr. Pullen said a few farmers were lucky enough to get their hay off during the dry spell in early June but many more ended up with deteriorated quality in their hay because of the long cold wet spell in the middle of the haying period, Normal hay, such as that taken in last year, yields 14-15 per cent protein, Mr. Pullen said. In order to supplement that protein for the full needs of the cows it would mean an expenditure of about Summer a special time for trying different salad Sometimes, particularly in summer, you want a fantastic salad that can be made ahead of time so that you are at least partially prepared for last minute "drop -ins". Other times, you need a recipe that can be prepared at the table, by someone else, leaving you free to attend to other dinner duties. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council Ministry of Agriculture and Food had developed two such recipes with these require- ments in mind. One is "Gazpacho", a soup, a cold soup, a salad soup. Make it, put it in a pitcher, and keep it refrigerated. The other is Caesar salad, the salad you may have seen made at your table, in restaurants. It's fun to make, and once your friends see you make it, ten Paste it, be prepared to share your recipe • it's "very special".

Canada must preserve farmland Canada must take steps to preserve its dwindling agricult- ural land and increase agricult- ural research if it wishes to preserve its position as a major food exporter, an Agriculture Canada official said. Dr. B.B. Migicovsky, assistant deputy minister of research, told a meeting at Stewart Seeds Ltd. that Canada's prime agricultural land is threatened by develop- ment and must be preserved through stringent land -use planning. He said only seven percent of Canada's land is used for agriculture. Dr. Migocovsky said that because of the country's limited land resources it is important to improve the technoligical base of agriculture through research by government, universities and industry. "Canada does not have •: and 1 emphasize not -- does not have the land capability to be the breadbasket of the world," he said. "But she has the basic technological and capability and talented manpower to be a vital force in international agriculture aid programs." In the past, Canada has produced food surpluses which were exported abroad, he said. Now. more emphasis is being put on committing Canadian agricult- ural experts to work in developing countries to help them ' help themselves. 6 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, chopped 1 cucumber (about 1 pound size), peeled, seeded, chopped 1/: medium onion, peeled, chopped 1/2 green pepper, seeded, chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed 2 teaspoons salt 1/: teaspoon paprika '/: cup water 3 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons lemon juice Sour cream In a bowl combine tomatoes, $5200 for grain for a 40 -cow herd, based on present feed costs, This year's hay, he said may yield only 7.9 per cent meaning $8200 or an extra S3000 would be needed for the cost of supplementary pro- tein.

Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese and reserved croutons over salad; toss again. Serve immediately. . Transfer to serving bowls or small plates. Yield: 8 servings. An interesting discussion grew up around the cost of farmland, His figures for Huron county, Mr. Pullen said, show that $400 to $500 an acre is the most a farmer can afford to pay for land and still hope to return money on his investment. Still, he said, many people look at land instead as a security, not just as a food production clement. At $1,000 an acre, he said, the young beginning farmer can't afford to keep up loan payments if he has to borrow everything to get started, Yet, he said, land prices keep going up and in the mid -western U.S. where prices are already high, economists are predicting land prices will double by 1985. Speaking on land rental, Mr, Pullen said that in Kent county land rents for as high as $175 an acre and that for good tomato land that might be justified. But he quoted an old'saying "there's little satisfaction in being land lord to a bankrupt tenant," Here in Huron he'd heard of turnip land' in the Exeter area renting for up to $110 or $120 an acre and 'corn land for $60.70, Land in Huron can rent from $25 to '$125 an acre, he said depending on the use but the 'average stems to be about $50, .......................................... %%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%..... %%%%%%.%%.% IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE!

The Christie's milk 1'10 dairy cows on their 160 -acre farm which is located in' the heart of Australia's dairy country. The Australian dairy farmer, like the Canadian, is under a two quota milk marketing system with more money paid for fluid milk than for industrial milk, according to Gerald, but the return to the farmer is based on the butterfat content. Fifty cents per pound butterfat is the current price Joanne Hickey, daughter of Mr. and 11'Irs. Joe Hickey of RR 3, Auburn received her diploma In the registered nursing program of Conestoga College, Stratford Division at their convocations ceremonies, June 12, 1976 in the Kitchener Auditorium. Tips on annual flowers 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. which works out to about $2,00 to $2,50 per hundred weight milk shipped, considerably Tess than what Canadian farmers are being paid, even with the new surplus levies, Not only is the milk price very poor in Australia, but the sale price for cows is a disaster, Gerald said, He recalled one time when the Christie's shipped a Jersey and a Holstein and got paid only $3 and $15, On a later shipment,'he said, the farmer was unable to even get a price for his cows and had to return them home, "The Australian farmer has the advantage of not having a large capital investment, though," said Gerald, Because of the milder weather cattle don't have to be housed throughout the year at all, he said, The only cattle buildings on the farm he stayed at were a "double six herring bone milking shed" and one or two shelters for the calves, or the "poddies's' as `the Australians call them. Gerald said that he found farming in Australia was much more relaxed than it is in Canada. "Here you hav, to do a year's work in six months, so you have to hurry to get your work done, There they have all year, so there 'is no big panic if things don t get uone, It was hard getting adjusted to that," he said. Another difference Gerald found was in the seasons. On January 3 the temperature was 40 degrees celcius, Gerald said, "On New Year's Eve, we sat around a bonfire all night. It was kind of nice," he said. `. Unlike Canada; where much of the precipitation comes in spring arid summer, Australia receives most of its ruin in' the winter, which makes farming more difficult, Gerald Said. In the winter, they receive from 35 to 40 inches of rainfall, but during the summer from Christ- mas to the end of February they received maybe an inch at most while he was there, he said, Gerald originally learned of the exchange program through a newspaper advertisement when he was a student at Old's College of Alberta. The college, which was started in Denmark, does a thorough check on everyone who applies, asking for references and police reports. Once an applicant is approved, the college then tries to line up a job for him with a family in a foreign country. if they are successful, the applicant is then responsible for paying his own way there. Gerald, who hopes to work for a time on a farm in Europe at some future date, recommends the experience to anyone, "The family I was with adopted me as a son," he said, "1 got to use the car anytime I wanted, It was pretty good." Although the trip was educa- tional, the education wasn't the most important thing to Gerald, "The people I met was the big thing. Everyone was really friendly." • The Huron Expositor' Letter to the editor TO ALL FORMER RESIDENTS OF BLYTH AND DISTRICT: The Canvassing Committee of .Blyth and District Community Centre would gladly accept any donations for the new Community Centre that is being erected as our objective is to raise $200,000, A receipt Will be sent to deduct your donation from Income Tax.

'Tis Show Biz With Olympics over, By VONNI LEE With the 1976 Olympic Games past history, it's time to look to another sport which makes us think of crisp fall days, popcorn by a warm fire and scarves and mittens, It's football time again 'and the CBC has moved nicely from summer sports and the Olympics into fall and the National Football League games. With all the sports equipment tied up in Montreal until August 1 when the games officially ended, it was necessary for one crew to travel right across Canada to cover the first few games of the season until the equipment and extra manpower could catch up with the gang. The 1976 -schedule will feature 19 games on the full network, leading up to the Grey Cup Game at the end of November, The first game was played at Ottawa on August 3, followed by Edmonton at Winnipeg on August 10 and Winnipeg at British Columbia on N.F.U. told to seek stabilization plan While the National Farmers Union is after a national stabilization plan, they were told that they should go after a provincial one first by at least one observer. Donald MacDonald, agricul- tural critic for the New Democra- tic Party in the provincial legislature, told a meeting of NFU members in Guelph on July 26 the only way there will be a federal program of farm income stabiliza- tion is if enough provinces start their own and force the federal government's hand. Mr. MacDonald told the meeting of about 100 delegates to the annual summer meeting of the Ontario region of the NFU that what the federal government claims is its start towards a federal program is simply a "Stop -loss program," intended to stop farmers just before they go down the economic drain, He . referred to a number of major provinces establishing their own health care programs before the federal government took hold of the responsibility and began operating the plan. He said the same thing will have to be done for farm income stabilization. British Columbia was the first province to institute such a program on its own, he said, and now Quebec is following suit. If the Ontario government was "willing to take the initiative, that would be about enough to force the federal government into setting up a federal stabilization program for farmers' incomes, he said. While the provincial govern- ment in Ontario claims such a program instituted by each province would lead to, competi- tion between provinces and great over -production, Mr. MacDonald says •the problem is `"not over -production but under -distri- bution. If governments would work. to set up efficient marketing sys- tems for agriculture products, Mr. MacDonald said, there would be no concern about over-produ- tion. There are many nations where food is very scarce, he said, and government should be doing something about that, gr. MacDonald challenged thel Ontario government to work with the church groups in the province that have offered to provide funds on an equal basis with the province to supply food to the hungry nations. "If the provincial government is serious about helping, it should accept the challenge of the church groups," Mr, MacDonald said. He acknowledged the possibi- lity of over -production by farmers if income stabilization was intro- duced, but said supply manage- ment would have to go hand-in- hand with such a program. He expressed concern about the reports of deputy ministers of the federal government meeting to map out plans to get rid of• all marketing boards. "That would be a crime against humanity," he said. The NDP agriculture critic expressed disappointment with the program the provincial government introduced in June - Bill 96 • that went down to defeat at the hands of NDP and Liberal parties. He said it did what the government wanted it to do • dove -tail with the federal pro- gram which he termed "inade- quate." Two inadequate pro- grams like those "would take 50 years of work to make them worth anything," he said. Robert McKessock, Liberal MPP for Grey, criticized the government for sending a civil servant to represent the Progres- sive Conservative party at the meeting. Faced with a deadline of Oct. 31, 1976, to come up with an alternative farm income stabiliza- tion program, he said, . the government should have been able to find one of its 51 members Lambton, and minister- without portfolio, was scheduled to attend the meeting for the PCs, but a death in the family caused cancellation of those plans. In his place Bill Doyle, director of marketing for the Ontario Mini- stry of Agriculture and Food, attended and read Mr. Hender- son's prepared speech. Mr. Doyle said the Ontario_ government is "very much committed to farm stabilization," but it too wants a national program. It is something that will have to be well planned and well co-ordinated, he said.

But millions of them in trees shatter the senses. This summer residents of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mary- land as well as Ontario, are enjoying the lazy sunshine. A frantic search is on among officials to find shlutions by fall, to handle millions of blackbirds and starlings. The large bird gatherings,. probably created' by weather changes in recent \years, trigger wild controversy. How much of a health hazard do they pose for humans? Histoplasmosis, for example, is a disease caused by breathing in a fungus that thrives on. bird droppings. Spores from the fungus go into the air passages of the lungs and can damage lung tissuest In mild cases, there are no symptoms: the infection only lasts a few days. Sometimes there may be flulike reactions with fever, cough, and chest pains. More severe cases involve symptoms that may resemble those of tuberculosis, including a chronic cough, weight loss, and extreme tiredness. Chest X-ray findings may be almost identical to those of TB. Although some health officials in the bird invaded areas hint at the possibility of a histoplasmosis epidemic, some conservation groups emphasize that no markedt increase in the number of cases has yet occurred. Last winter's attempt by scientists to spray the bird roosts in certain regions was a full-scale failure. Aiid since then some groups have , used pesticides so potent tliat they violate regulations set' by the Environmental • Protection agency. Solutions to the bird invasions may ,bring their own hazards to heaiti, • To all Former Residents of Blyth and Distric The Canvassing Committ a of Blyth and District Community Centr would gladly accept any donations for the new Community Centre that i being erected as our objective is to rais $200.00 A receipt ill be set to 'deduct your donation from ncome Tax.

Then on to Seaforth District High, What seemed to' her, the months did fly, Then was the summer of Dick's tall tale, About some silly horn that continuously wailed, While spending ,most of her time chasing lads, Now, to most of us that's not too bad, While other times she spent at rest, \ As well as being, the Sunday School's best. Out to earn an honest buck, Brenda to the north did try her luck, The summer proved hard work and fun, And learning how to row in the sun. Upon Graduation of grade thirteen, In her eyes, a nursing career could be ,seen, And so to London and Saint Jo's she sped, And after two years earned a cap for her head. The Canadian West to Brenda looked keen, As she knew there was still country to be seen Then after an application to Edmonton was sent She began to worry about the rent. She returned to Walton to visit her kin, And to each home she was welcomed in, Her visits we all extremely enjoyed, But her heart she left with a special boy. It was Dan the ambulance driver whose eyes did feast, On the young Walton beauty from the east, And with every passing emer- gency call, Dan was convinced, Brenda was his doll. Till one day Dan started to fizz Now! decide if it's me or Cousin Liz, A tough decision Brenda had to face ,\ But as you well know it lead to lace. ' And when the vows arc said and done, Brenda and Dan will have to run, For a holiday they'll lead the Peugeot east, So to have their honeymoon feast, On to the west to begin married life, Finally together as man and wife, And no doubt when they are settled and cosy, Little feet will appear and faces all rosy, Brenda! we just couldn't let your big day go by, Without gathering together for a friendly goodbye,` And may you take along with pleasure, Our very best wishes and these few treasures. Signed on behalf of your many friends and neighbours. Brenda thanked every- one for., all the beautiful gifts.

Mrs. Gladys Gardiner of Ottawa and Mrs. Archie Hoggarth of London visited fast Cut that hydro bill 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 are 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 are more efficient than ones with curved bottoms. 2. Use a saucepan or frypan big enough for the recipe that you are 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, r member to turn off the burner and oven when you have finis ed using them. WHEN INLU ' OW VISIT p.

Armed with this knowledge and my. familiarity with the culture from whence you emerge, it all figures. I take strong exception to the column about canker sores on the lips of girls (1 assume) who were engaging ,in oral sex, You stated that this type of VD is on the increase and warned your readers to "be aware." • That , column would have been better had it never seen the light of day. What's more, I believe you could enhance your reputation (maybe it's too late now) and increase your readership, if you devoted your efforts toward uplifting the nature of man rather than publicizing his frailties. - This -is an age of deterioration. Why should you contribute to the erosion just because you have a job on a newspaper? Why not use your power to uplift rather than pull people down? Our goal in life is to assist in the development of society. That's why those who don't do their bit, no matter how little, always gct it in the neck sooner or later, -• A Real American DEAR READER: You call your- self "A Real American"? Not in my book. Your opening sentences disqualify you. It's perfectly O.K. to tell me my advice is lousy, but to say, "it figures" --.because I'm Jewish -• reflects some pretty warped logic, I view this column as an opportunity to educate and I tell it like it is. To suggest that 1 am contributing to the deterioration of this country when I warn Harry Boyle wins second Leacock award Harry J. Boyle, former broadcaster, author and curent chairman of the Cana'dian Radio - Television and Telecommunica- tions Commission, was signally honoured in Orillia July 24.

You say, "Our goal in life is to help assist in,the development of society," 1 know what I've been doing for the last 20 years. What have YOU been doing •• besides dishing out ethnic slurs? DEAR ANN LANDERS: Hank and 1 have been married 20 years. He's been talking about growing a mustache although he knows mustaches turn me off. He had one four years ago for a month and I wouldn't let him near me. Every time he kissed me I went berserk. It was like being kissed by an ape. Now Hank says I am trying to rob him of his masculinity. He also says 1 am interfering with his civil rights. We've argued about this for two solid weeks and now we arc asking for your opinion. What do you think? •- A Hairy Problem DEAR H.P.: I sec no civil rights being violated nor do 1 believe • mustaches have anything to do with masculinity. • If a wife tells her husband mustaches turn her off and he grows one . anyway, there's a message there, . DEAR ANN: A woman came to our mobile home park collecting for the Heart Fund and when I answered the door I said, "Just a moment, I'll . see if 1 have any extra money," After going through my purse, I found I had only $1,10 in cash •- $1.00 of which would be needed for two school lunches in the morning. Feeling as most people would said, "I'm sorry, I'll have to skip my donation today," The woman gave• me a dirty look 'and said, "Oh, I see." What did she see that I didn't? Why do collectors for worthy causes turn workipg folks off so we don't feel like giving next time? -- Would If I Could DEAR WOULD: Too bad that woman didn't know the funda- • mentals of good salesmanship: If ; it if you're careful?

Grandchildren are both fun and terrifying By BILL SMILEY Like most grandparents, if they are honest, we are delighted to see our grandchildren arrive, and overjoyed to see them depart. Started off this year's summer vacation with a visit from our two grandbabies and their mum. When they left, my wife and I went straight into a rest home for a few days, to recuperate. It's not that they are bad little boys. It's just that they are little boys, with voracious appetites for everything from mother's milk to peanut -butter -and -jam sandwich- es dipped in fruit yoghurt to rides to the car wash to going to the beach to picking strawberries to being, told stories to crawling around in the grass being bitten by ants. None of those activities creates any real problem, but this time, the Lord, moving in His usual mysterious ways, decreed that it should rain hard, day and night, for the first three days of their visit. Well, that eliminated the Books at the Library THE PLOT AGAINST ROGER RIDER By JULIA SYMONS Roger. Rider and Geoffrey Paradine had known each other since childhood. Dashing Roger looked after feeble Geoffrey and bullied him a bit too. Then Roger disappeared on a Spanish hol- iday, The action shuttles between Spain and London with a stunning climax in Sardinia. Above all there's a truly baffling puzzle, not solved until the very last chapter. BLINDFOLD By PATRICIA WENTWORTH It wasn't poor Ivy that was meant to be pushed into the river --it was the girl that had been in the drawing -room at 16 Varley Street and had seen what nobody was meant to see, Miles Clayton came from America to London in the early 1930's to trace an orphan heiress. At once • he is involved with a set of characters and situations which will fascinate and absorb the reader. THE JINX SHIP By HOWARD PEASE The Jinx Ship is one of the Tod. Moran mysteries. What is a jinx ship? It is a vessel which is dogged by disaster from the moment of launching until its fatal hour. Such a ship was the Congo. Tod Moran had signed on as fireman on this ship and almost at once he was plunged into a thrilling adventure, How Tod clears up the mystery of the ship's strange accidents, makes a story to interest young readers. ART ACTIVITIES ALMANAC Art Activities Almanac is a collection of w arksheets for the use of people of all ages. They describe ideas and ways and means of carrying on many art and craft activities including paper construction, painting with different media, weaving, carving and making puppets of various types. Many people have contri- buted to this collection that help us invent, create and find uses for old things and provide new interests for everyone. Next Story Hour on August 17, at 1:40 p.m. at the library. beach, crawling in the grass, picking strawberries and going for picnics in. the park; all the things that, little city boys, who live in a square box on the ninth flops shoillld. do when they go to vtsft their grandparents in a small town. And"'with all that rain, there wasn't a lot, of point in •going to the car wash; an experience full of joy and terror, the supreme moment of his visits for young Pokey, It also meant that, instead of riding his brand new tricycle around the yard and up and down the sidewalk under the maples, Poke was forced to ride it around in a screaming circle inside the house, -through the kitchen, into the hall, into the livingroom and bacak to the kitchen, shouting a shrill "Here I come!" scattering various bric-a-brac and adults, and frequently running over one hand or other of his baby brother, who was creeping about on the livingroom floor, shrieking with anger when he'd get his feet tangled up and couldn't move or yelling for someone to pick him up, • or spewing up his latest nursing in great, viscous globs. It sound terrible, but it wasn't really. It was merely bedlam, 1 enjoyed'every minute of it - when they were both having their afternoon nap, which almost never happened simultaneously, Pokey and I are still the best of buddies, which is great but can be a little trying. It's wonderful to feel the trust as the tiny, tough hand clutches yours, or you get a big hug and kiss for nothing. But the other side of the coin is when he won't let anybody but "My Gran•dat" put on his socks and shoes or pull up his pants after a "big pee" or get him second, third and fourth helpings when he wants "more beans," Huronview family night cancelled by the weather Mr, Dick Roorda led the Clinton Christian Reform song service on Sunday evening. Mrs. Elsie Henderson accompanied at • the piano. The program scheduled for the front lawn on Family Night was cancelled; however, most of the residents enjoyed getting out .to see the flowers and have an evening outdoors. • The annual outdoor games were held on Wednesday afternoon and included relay races, wheels of fortune games provided and operated by the Clinton Lions' Club. Many thanks to Hugh Flynn, Bill Fleischauer and Harvey Johnston of the Lions' Club and all those who assisted with the afternoon's activities, Five residents entertained at the talent night show at Pinelake Camp on Wednesday evening. Mrs, Elsie Henderson, Norman Speir, Nelson Lear, Morgan Dalton and Anderson Scott provided vocal and instrumental numbers. The residents enjoyed an afternoon of organ music on Thursday with Ed Stiles at the console and vocal solos by Mrs, Betty Rogers. The weather was ideal for the Women's barbeque on Monday and for Special Care on Friday, Pork barbecue scheduled for Seaforth The Huron County Pork Pro- ducers Association will hold their Annual Pork Bar-B•Q and Pork Hostess Contest in the Seaforth arena on Thursday August 26. This event always draws large crowds and 'this year is not expected to be an exception. Last year hundreds had to be turned back. It is advisable to purchase your tickets early, as only 1300 tickets will be available from the directors. The Pork Hostess Contest is expanded this year to include 1 married girls. The contestants must be between the ages of 18 and 35 years in June 1977, when the winner will represent Huron county at the Ontario Pork Congress. Bainton's Old Mill has once more donated the first prize in the form of a beautiful pigskin jacket. Last year's winner, Miss Cathy Madill of Blyth, will do the honours and crown the 1976 Pork Hostess.

Pretty heady stuff for a little city kid. But three and a half days of solid rain, with two lively, vociferous kids, 2 1/2 years and five months, is about as restful as trying to relax in a boiler factory. I'm just getting to know my second grandson, who labors, or delights, as his mother would say, under the name of,Balind. It's a madeup name that sounds nice, so his mother says. I call him Young Bill. In a crafty stroke with inheritance in mind, no doubt, he was given the plebean second name of William. As it turns out, and as my daughter didn't know, it's right in the family, on both sides. He's named not only for me, but for his great -great-grandfather, William Thomson, on my side, and for his great -great -great -great -grand father, William Bull, on my wife's side.

Young Bill 'began life as a bawler, a fat little guy who looked like Winston Churchill and screamed like the Witch of Endor, In five months, he has improved tremendously. He has lost three chins and now has only one extra one, He has an endearing, lopsided grin, huge, bright eyes, and a delightful chortle. I think we'll keep him, after all. Well, just to add to the excitement, the kids' great- grandfather made the trip across country to, see his second great-grandson. He got a royal 'welcome from Pokey, who point- ed at him, yelled "Dat's my great-grandat," gave him an unsolicited hug and kiss, and from Young Bill, who gave him a drooling grin.
