Extra Performance of "Clover" to Benefit Arena Blyth Summer Festival will hold a special performance of the hit show Mostly in Clover on August 21 as its contribution toward the Blyth arena fund. The show has sold out every one of its performances in the regular schedule this year with hundreds of people being turned away. The tickets for the performance are already going fast to those people unable to get in for the final performances on Saturday last week and Monday this week. All proceeds above production costs will go to the arena fund. in order to give the biggest boost possible to the arena, ticket prices have been increased one dollar per seat for the special showing. The performance, after the end of the regular schedule of the Festival will take place just before Mostly in Clover goes on tour. The show will play one night in Kincardine on August 22 and then proceed to Petrolia where it will play for a week in the Victoria Opera House. Meanwhile attendance has been picking up strongly in the final days of this year's Festival. All of last year's attendance and box-office records have of course long ago been surpassed. Last week the hit musical The Blood is Strong joined Mostly in Clover in the sold -out category with many people being turned away on Thursday night. Advance sales for this week for the show were also heavy with more sell-outs quite possible. The Festival closes this weekend with The Blood is Strong on Friday night and Shape on Saturday night.

During July, the 28 Program 130 field staff members, super- vised by 9 Authority field staff members, undertook the follow- ing projects: WAWANOSH VALLEY CREWS The recently acquired crews clean up local eyesores park/day use area adjacent to the Wawanosh Valley Conservation Area has been the centre of much of the crews' activities. Vandal- proofing of the park included rerouting of the road system, placing ' and painting parking barriers, and improvements to the picnic shelter. General clean-up, landscaping and haul- ing sand to the swimming area were also done, Other projects included: cutting and hauling of firewood from W.V.C.A., removal of fence bottoms and the hen house at Morris Hill, removal of trees and obstructions in the river near the Brookside Public School, and clearing trees and brush from the edge of the drain through the Morely Forest tract. The Wawanosh crew members were also involved in scything grass, removing brush, and burning debris for the village of Gorrie, clearing brush from the dam area for the Village of Fordwich, clearing the river bank and painting spectator stands at the local.ball park in the town of Wingham, and clearing trees and brush and marking tombstones at an abandoned cemetary in the village of Blyth. BRUSSELS CREW The Brussels area crew began work in and around the Brussels Mill and day u§e area, Mill doors and newly vandal - proofed windows were painted, a new awning is under construction at the front of the mill, and interior and exterior clean-up and improvements .were completed. Some additional topsoil and seeding will make the local park very attractive and functional kr day use. Sonie of the Brussels crew assisted with the painting of parking barriers at the Harriston and Galbraith Conservation areas, and completed scything and clean-up along the river, and painting of abarriers at Bluevale. Some time was spent preparing . the Administrative Headquarters area for construction of additional garage bays. The riverbank and bottom were also cleaned up for the village of Brussels.

WANE GRUB THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 11, 1976. PG. 3. , , Opportunity knocks for Lil and Jean at Kitchen Cupboard When opportunity knocked, Lil MacLachlan and Jean Storrar answered. Like many people in Western Ontario, Lil and Jean had made periodic trips to Blyth to shop at the two woolen and leather factory outlets; Like others before them, they saw in the village the ideal location for smaller specialty shops which would make use of the alredy heavy traffic flow and add variety to the shopping in the village. Unlike others, Lil and Jean decided to do something about it. Their original idea was that the village could use a little tea shop for visitors to have a cup of tea or coffee and a light meal. They even explored the possibility by working for a while in a shop in Elora to see,what it would be like. They soon realized, however, how much work was involved and how hard it was to keep things fresh for the customers. They began looking instead towards a small gift -shop. The problem, they quickly learned,was the lack of possible sites in Blyth. At first they tried to find an old house in the village as the location for their shop but were unsuccessful. There is a chronic shortage of commercial space in the village but luckily for them a shop did come open this past winter and they quickly snapped it up. /. They had wanted to be shop -owners, but first they became carpenters. The shop was to be rearranged and redecor- ated and workmen were hard to conic by, . So the two ladies decided to do the work them- selves. They worked saws and they laid flooring and they did just about everything as they remodelled the shop to suit their needs. They became too profic- ient, Lil recalls, that they were almost sorry when the work was finished and it became time' to open up. Their idea when they settled on the location, was to open a shop with gourmet -type cookware the main feature. They began to wonder, though, if this idea, while popular elsewhere, would be popular enough in this part of the country. So their thoughts evolved to other things and there became more variety in the shop. They're feeling their way, Lil admits, trying to learn as they go along. Like so many people who have , opened small shops they have no business experience. They do have business in their background, however. Back home in Scotland their grandmother had a successful little store. The ladies mother worked there and always wanted to start a little store of her own if the opportunity arose. She didn't, but the appeal seemed to flow down to her daughters. For both Lil and Jean the shop represents an opportunity to explore new ways of life. Lil lost her husband about two years ago and was drifting aimlessly, she says, until the idea of the shop gave her something to work for. Jean, meanwhile, .was nursing at a Seaforth senior's home but finding nursing harder and getting tired of it. The store is the solution for both of them and they're hoping the store will carry them in a year or two. Meanwhile Jean continues to work. (lit doesn't succeed, Lil says, well neither of than has invested too much more than worry and hard work into the partnership anyway. So far, however, things have been going well, since they opened this spring business has been steady, if unspectacular as yet. It's giving them a chance to get to know the ropes before business really picks up, they hope, in July through Christmas. In the meanwhile they've been especially _pleased with the,. reaction of the people in the village. "The local people have been very supportive and friendly" Lil says. They've had many compli- ments made on the shop. The friendliness has been a particular help to Lil who moved out of Guelph to start the shop after living there since 1946 when she arrived in Canada from Scotland. It was quite a wrench, she says, to leave her home city behind, but she had some friends in the area and they and the warmth of their welcome has made the transition easy. At present the two sisters are staying at Jean's home in Molesworth but if the shop succeeds, they look forward to taking up residence in Blyth. In the meantime, the shop continues to evolve, often on the suggestions of customers and friends, One man suggested they start a Scottish corner and they have, making natural advantage of their ancestry. They have place mats and bags made from the Olympic tartan and broaches and other things Scottish. They're also thinking on, expanding on the line of cookware. It's time to begin to .experiment a little Lil says. One of the things that is sure to sell in the shop is the fresh shortbread produced in the Kitchen out back, The shop is filled with the aroma of baking shortbread this morning as we talk. It's something, Lil says, that can be done in the lulls between customers without danger of it being ruined should a customer come in the middle of preparing a batch, The large cakes of shortbread are sure to find favour with many visitors, The kitchen will also be used to prepare other fresh goods in the future, Lil says. They hope to sell their own jams and other preserves but so far haven't had to much time to do preserving. The shop is pleasantly filled with many kinds of things. There are cookware items and decorator goods like interesting sketches and wire and nail sculptures and stuffed toys. There is a strong feeling of calm brought on by the ample amounts of natural wood in the decor, The pair have made use of antiques well, including a large wood -burning cook stove that sits at the rear of the shop. The sisters have provided another service `recently not part of their regulpr business. When the Blyth Summer Festival scheduled the play The Blood is Strong about Scottish setters in NO MAN IS AN ISLAND... At times all of us need the help of others. In most of Canada we can turn to agencies financed by us through United Way. Help is there because we and our fellow citizens give freely of our time and money. That's the neighbourly way ... That's the United Way Canada, the actors were faced with the difficult task of capturing the Scottish language patterns for authenticity on the stage, Lil and Jean with their. still -thick Scottish brrr were natural critics for the actors trying to get the accents down. Besides wanting to see their own shop succeed, the sisters would like dearly to see more little shops spring up in Blyth. Already, Lil says, people can come to shop in the two mills, Michael Ward's pottery studio and their shop, but she can see room for other little shops. She draws a comparison with Elora where there are now many little specialty shops and the village' has become a mecca for shoppers looking for interesting things. In the meantime, at an age when most people are looking forward to retirement, the sisters are looking forward to building their business to the point it will .provide their living for them.

Yet still the games go on by the Communists on one side and the old Nationalist government on Taiwan on the other. It's been a situation where there is no black and ‘vhite but a whole lot of grey. Neither side has a very good record. The Communists killed thousands as they asserted their authority. The Nationalists who lost the war in the first place because of their horrible corruption that sa\y millions of dollars from the United States go into the pockets of leaders when it MIS 10 help soldiers tight the Communists. When they were driven out of fhe mainland they, landed 00 Taiwan and slaughtered thousands to install themselves there as the government. Since then both governments have tried to ignore that the other exists. 'I•hc Nationalists still claim to have authority over all China. The Coniniunists insist that if you want to be friends with them, you can't recognize the existence of the Nationalists at all. Canada played on the Nationalist side until it became so ridiculous that we ignore 700 million people for 26 million. So we switched to the Communists, and now have the Communists pressuring us to hoot the Nationalists out of the Olympics and other international events. There is no reason why both nations should co -exist but they continue to act like spoiled children. The shame is not only on them, but on countries like Canada on the Communist side and thc,U.S. on the Nationalist side that continue to play along with them. ,yl Labour only hurting itself The Canadian labour movement took another step on the merry path to self-destruction last week when it announced it would call for a general strike some time soon to protest the anti-inflation controls of the federal government. .hoc Morris, head of the Canadian Labour Congress didn't, of course, call it a general strike (that's a dirty word) but a "day of protest" which he expects non-union people like old age pensioners and students to take part in too. The protest of strike or whatever you call it, though, can accomplish nothing but give the Canadian labour unions another black eye. Does Mr. Morris really think that Pierre 'i'rudcau, the man who's called the bluff of F.L.O. terrorists, the man who blindly ignored the wrath of the western world for his stand on Taiwan's entry to the Olympics, the man who thumbed his nose at Soviet demands to return a defecting diver, docs he really think this man is going to quake in his boots and give up on controls just because of a "day of protest"? If the C.L.C. really wants to convince the government to change its policies. it will take a lot more than a one -day strike. Perhaps a general strike lasting days or weeks, might do the trick but the C.L.C. hasn't called that and is unlikely to bccausc of the history of such strikes which bring violence and retaliation and cause more harm than good for the union members. A one day strike will .only help the government in its controls program. Most Canadians grumble but go along with the controls these days, especially when they see that inflation seems to be slowing down. The massive inconvenience of a general strike, however, is likely to turn the public solidly against the unions and behind the government more strongly than ever. The Canadian labour movement continues to see itself as the victim of opporession, something that might have been true a half -century ago, but is a myth today. As long as labourites continue living in the past, they're inviting thd'g lowing alienation wiihithei.Canadian public which may soon lead to tougher controls on the labour movement. Mr. Morris and his friends with stupid actions such as the call for a 'general strike seem to be digging their own grave. Bouquet of Lace BY KEITH ROULSTON The pressure of deadlines will be light on these shoulders this week. When readers read this, yours truly will be enjoying a quiet week away from deadlines and tele- phones. It's the first time in five years that we've been able to take a holiday and still have the paper go out as usual to the readers and it's accomplished because we're lucky enough to have a first rate, hard-working and dedicated staff who are taking ,on for the first time the task of putting out the paper. They just may show the old man up. **** The mind has already gonc on vacation as this is written so we'll resort to a bits and pieces column this week. **** A bunch of gutsy people from • The boss finally gets a break around the world are down in Toronto these days taking part in the Olympiad for the Disabled. Athletics are hard enough for people with whole bodies but for those with handicaps, it's espec- ially tough. But as usual; politics have managed to get mixed up in the games. The boycott because of South Africa's presence has thinned the ranks of competitors just as in the regular Olympics. But there's got to he a light side, even to politics. With the next Olympics to be held in Moscow, the disabled games would regularly have been held in the Soviet Union too. But it probably won't. The Soviets claim they don't have any disabled people in their country. My isn't Communism great stuff to even cure disabilities. Sell out has been following sell out over at Memorial Hall these days as the season of the Blyth Summer Festival ends up. Mostly in Clover of course sold out every performance, the final two more than a week in advance. Many, many people have been turned away from the shows and some haven't been too polite about it all, Last week the same thing started happening with 'l'hc Blood is Strong. In such cases connec- tions can often obtain tickets that aren't usually available. Things tend to be more democratic here in Blyth though. Thursday night,. for example, many people were turned away from the door. Among the group were the .parents of the president of the board of the Festival who didn't have reservations for the show. So much. for pull. **** Isn't it great to know little details like the fact that July was the cloudiest we've had in 95 years?

Blyth Summer Festival supports Blyth Arena Fund A benefit . performance of Mostly in Clover by Harry J. Boyle will be given by the Blyth Summer Festival on Saturday, August 21 in aid of the Blyth and District Community Centre pro- ject. The show has filled the Blyth Memorial Hall to capacity every night of the regular season and tickets for this special perform- ance are already going fast. The Festival will donate all proceeds to the rebuilding of the arena which is so important to the people of Blyth and area. The old arena was built in 1950 , and well -used by the people of the community. Unfortunately, it was condemned as unsafe by the Rug .Flammability Legislated The Honourable Bryce Mackascy, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, announced recently that implementation of new regulations governing the flammability of rugs and carpets, was effective immediately. The revised regulations pro- hibit the importation, advertise- ment, or sale of rugs which do not comply with established Canadian flammability requirements. The new regulations provide relief for manufacturers from the stringent flammability require- ments for those floor coverings which are intended to be used exclusively out-of-doors. If they do not meet the flammability requirements, these rugs will have to carry a label giving prescribed information to alert consumers to their flammability. Small bath mats and bedside rugs may also be excluded from the flammability requirements if they are labelled in a prescribed manlier. The effective date of implemen- tation of these new regulations, originally scheduled for January 1, 1976, was delayed in order to avoid possible economic difficulties. Ministry of Labour on June 15 of this year and was subsequently torn down. Plans were immed- iately made for a new arena and the people of Blyth and arca are already working to raise funds for the project. A Wintario Commun- ity Centres Grant will supply half of the needed $400,000.00 and the community must raise the rest, An amazing $60,000.00 has already been raised by the hard-working people of Blyth, but to meet a November completion date more money is needed soon. To help the community that has supported the theatre so strongly, the Festival administration read- ily agreed to offer this additional performance to help them meet their goal. The community Centre will provide a new facility for banquets, dances and receptions and will have a seating capacity of 400. Tickets are now available at the box office in the Blyth Memorial Hall or by calling (519) 523-4452. Special ticket prices for this benefit performance only are adults $4,00, senior citizens $3.25 and children $3.00. Curtain time is 8:30 p.m, at the Blyth Memorial Hall.

These crews have been involved in one of the summer's major undertakings, the implementation of a management plan for the Galbraith white pine and white spruce plantation. As the 20 year old spruce have now been over topped by the pine, competition for sunlight and nutrients is detrimental to both species. This problem is being solved by removing the .white spruce trees (every second row in the planted arca), The cutting, hauling, and burning of the trees and treating stumps has occupied much of the Galbraith crews' time. Riverbank and bottom clean-up were completed for the town of Harriston, The crews also sanded and varnished several picnic tables for town use, Several days were spent at Moorefield preparing the local park for the Maryborough Town- ship 125 year celebration. This included painting trine on the community centre, concession booth, flag pole and waste containers; scything and brushing around the ball park arca; and landscaping and sodding the municipal park. FALLS RESERVE CREW: General park Maintenance and gate duty consumes much of this crews time. Garbage collection, cleaning washrooms, moving lawns, washing windows, and watering newly planted trees, arc routine projects. A new coat of paint has been put on the campground service building, concession stand, new flag poles, picnic shelter, camp- ground signs, parking barriers and gatehouse. After all this practice, , the crew completed painting posts and picnic tables at the Godcrich Township park. Some time was spent clearing debris and removing obstructions from the Sharp's Creek arca, With only three weeks remain- ing in the program, we still have Authority work and 6 municipal projects to complete,; However. assuming that all goes as planned, this work can easily be finished by the August 20 termination date. SUPERVISORY, TECHNICAL AND CLERICAL REPORT, JULY, 1976 Senior Supervisor, Rob Keip, conducted an orientation session and prepared Program operation- al directives for new employees; assisted with arrangements and scheduling of work projects; completed arrangements for Educational Days; (Ausable- Bayfield watershed tour, Lake Huron Shoreline Tour, joint canoe trip with Saugeen Authority Program 130 staff); ordered and distributed Experience '76 T-shirts for staff; completed injury and acitvity reports and all other correspondence for the Special Projects Branch; compiled monthly records of equipment and vehicle purchases and expenses; conducted an adminis- trative meeting with the subfore- men; and completed necessary photography for use in the final report.

By BILL SMILEY Well, by the time this appears in print, we'll be nearing Fall, and here I am groping around in my own backyard, not even started on my way to Paraguay. It's not that 1 haven't had a tremendous response to my appeal to readers to help out with accommodation in such places as Lima and La Paz, and for someone to volunteer to fly me down. An enterprising travel agent in Meaford,, Ont. told me his Dad wanted to go to South America too, wished me well, and offered to arrange my trip down. Caroline Ngui of Windsor warned me that I had my NFU congratulates Hasta La Vista, Smiley countries mixed up and might wind up in the former British Guiana instead of the former Dutch Guiana, with no place to stay. Quite right, The former D.G. is now Surinam, and that's where I aim to go, Perhaps Ms.Ngui has a sister there, or an ancient aunt, who would put me up for a night or two. But the clincher came when old Don McCuaig, the newspaper baron of Renfrew County, chal- lenged me to put up or shut up. He offered to share expenses, and presumably he has a plane. 1 had hoped to be going along with somebody younger and better looking. Another thing. He says he has no ex girl friends south of the border. No problem, old buddy. You can have Maria Rosa Carvalho. She's the homely one. And she's just about your age and speed. She does dance a mean tango, or did, 30 years ago. I can just see you two living it up in the ballroom of one of those gilt-edged hotels off the Copaca• bana beach in Rio. Never fear. I'd stand behind you. With a couple of wheelchairs, Agriculture Ministry Walter Miller, Vice President of the National Farmers Union, said recently the decision of provincial Ministers of Agricul- ture to transfer the necessary powers that will give the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency national control over egg market- ing in Canada is a positive move. The NFU has for sometime recommended the provinces transfer the necessary authority to federal jurisdiction. and hopes now that other commodities will be included in national n rketing programs. Mr. Miller said the division in authority between provincial and federal governments creates con- fusion and contradictions of farm policies, and until provincial authorities are transferred to national marketing agencies there will continue to be conflicts. "We intend to continue to press real hard for inclusion of other commodities into national marketing programs, especially a beef marketing authority with the necessary powers for supply management." Mr. Miller said the agreement by eight provincial agriculture Ministers at their federal -provin- cial conference to have the Canadian Wheat Board placed under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture "makes real good sense," "It is difficult to have effective agriculture policies when a major commodity such as grain is controlled by a ministry other than agriculture." Stiff Fines for loose cattle in Hullett Hullett Township cattle farmers should be warned not to give their cows any bum steers as that Township now has a tough bylaw to prevent wandering cattle. Hullett council passed a bylaw at their meeting last Monday night to fine owners up to $300 for any cattle wandering on township roads. The bylaw was passed in the hopes that cattle will ' be prevented from wandering onto other people's property. in other council business, Hullett Township has 10 munici- pal drains under construction. Council has paid for two of them and has heard rdports on four others. A petition was read for another municipal drain to be installed. Two applications for tile drain loans were accepted and 11 building permits were granted. McCuaig goes on; "The way employment is going in the secondary school business, you'd, never be niissed,.,We can finance the trip with a travel book, Smiley. In fact, I have a title: SA After 50. (Not Sex Appeal,' Smiley; South America,) You write, I'll take pictures. ,It should sell like hotca'kes." Yeah, McCuaig. Or cold bread pudding, more like, And more: "One other thing, Bill. Let's wait until November. No Canadian in his right mind would leave this country now that summer is here. November, Smiley, When the leaves are gone, we're gone, right? No backing out now." Well, 1 have a few holes to pick in that. First of all, what summer? Around here, we had summer back in May. Since then, we've been deluged by rain, badly rattled by thunder and scared skinny by lightning. When it hasn't stormed, it's been muggy as Mozambique or colder'n a witch's tit. Campers are moving into town from their cottages. Tourists are bundled like Laplanders. i have- n't had a single swim yet, to the disgust of the bikini brigade, whose most hilarious moment of the summer is watching gours truly, white as a slug, flinch into the water and dog -paddle off for his first swim of the year. The ,strawberries were rained out just before we got our supply, The raspberries are "doing poorly." But it's a great year for grass. The lad who cuts my lawn has barely finished the front when it's time to start on the back. Except that he can't because it's eight inches high and soaking wet. Pity the man trying to get in all that wild growth of hay.. About the only ray of sunshine this summer has been the Queen, that serene and gracious lady in whose presence even President Gerald Ford, for once, didn't resemble Boris Karloff playing Frankenstein's creation. Ah, yes, I'm a monarchist, along with, apparently, about 90 per cent of the residents of the U,S., and two or three hundred other Canadians. I'm not saying I'd be starry- eyed over fat, stupid George the Third, or fat, smarf' Henry the Eighth.. I'm just saying that 1 think it's essential to have a symbol that is above and beyond the petty squabbling of polit- icians, the bullying of big unions, and the arrogance of civil servants. See how you got me side-track- ed, McCuaig, with your nonsense about summer in Canada. All right,back to business. You fly; I'll navigate. I'm -pretty good at it. Only bad . spot' might be flying across water, jungles and mountains. My navigation gets a bit shaky if I don't have a railway line to follow. By the way, i thought I'd take my two grandsons along to see their Uncle Hugh. So when you're fuelling up, lay in a large stock of diapers, preferably disposable. We could blaze a new trail right across the Andes. , One last thing. i can't wait until Novenber. If l wasn't there, calm and collected, the day after Labor Day, the members of my English deparment, without their leader, would be as bereft and lost as the Children of Israel without Moses.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 11, 1976. PG, 7. Firewood shortage no problem yet .BY ROB SHRIER A shortage of firewood has caused problems in several provincial parks in recent months but, according to spokesmen for Point Farms Provincial Park and the Falls Reserve Conservation Arca, that problem does not yet exist here, In some places in Ontario, supplies of wood are limited to an armload per campsite per day and in others, campers are being directed to local suppliers for their needs. But for the present in this arca, firewood is plentiful and available at no cost to the camper. A Point Farms spokesman warned how- ever, that in the future, this will be phased out. It has been a good year as far as statistics go at both local parks, despite the poor weather thus far. Point Farms reports an increase in camper days of 30 percent as of 7 more Wintario Grants received Gema~ totalling 53,624 have been approved for seven Huron County projects from the proc- cceds of the Ontario Lottery. The amounts range from 5718 to $368, All but one of today's grants are for sports equipment as 5718 is being awarded to the Zurich Minor Athletic Association for the purchase of softball equipment and a 5508 grant is being used by the Seaforth Girls Minor Softball League for baseball equipment. The Fast Wawanosh Recrea- tion ('arks and Community Centre in Belgraye will use a 5538 grant for baseball supplies while the Rotary Club oI' Goderich will sponsor the Huron(' County Play• house road show tour oI' "Anne of Green Gables" with a 5500 grant. The Bluevale and District Recreation Association, the Sea• 101111 Nouse League Baseball Association and Exeter's Minor Softball League (Ushorne Recrea• lion Council) will use respective grants of 5482. 542(1 and 53h8 to buy baseball equipment. Culture and Recreation MM- - luster Robert Welch said these grants are part of the ongoing Share Wintario programme for the support of cultural and recreation facilities. To date. the ministry has allocated 546.1 million to more than 2525 groups and p i►jects across the province. June 3b, with a slight decrease in day use mainly as a result of the weather. The long weekends have naturally filled the parks to capacity, with moderate use reported on weekdays, Heaviest demand was on the 24th of May weekend, The majority of camp- ers on that weekend were students. Other than that weekend, when the teens get away to. "let off a little steam" as one spokesman put it, there has been no generally rowdy behaviour at either park; with only the occasional complaint of noise at late hours, Vandalism is about nil at both parks as well. The parks attribute the better atmosphere to the prevention of motorcycles and their passengers from entering the park. 'these measures were introduced during the past two years, making both parks offic- ially family campgrounds. The local camps share some features, including the mobile library, a service of the Huron County Library; weekly puppet shows sponsored by the sante group; and hiking. The Falls is a starting point for the Bruce Trail. Trails at Point Farms include a fitness trail, in which you jog from station to station and do the required calisthenics at each trail, several footpaths through bush area and nature trails, Other activities at Point Farms are numerous, Church services, junior and senior baseball games, campfire singalongs in the park's natural amphitheatre, audiovisual presentations introducing campers to the park, ping-pong and indoor shuffleboard are regular activities at the park. Craft seminars, presentations by local theatre groups, children's games, art festivals, films, square dances, and water sports are held as well, but not a regular basis. Activities for the week are made available to the campers when they enter the park in the form of a bulletin. Both parks are expanding rapidly. The Falls has just completed a 79 -campsite addition which will be opened next year. New playground equipment was installed courtesy of a LIP grant, and the fish pond has been stocked with more than 300 rainbow trout. Massive expansion and renova- tion is underway at Point Farms. A reading room will be added next year to the barn. A sound system was installed this spring. Two new campgrounds have been planned. A wildlife arca has been started as well, A plan of the developments is on display at the camp offices, The eight by twelve foot model goes into great detail in illustrating park facilities and plans for the future. ••••••••... ••••.._.._..,.._.. �....._..�..�.._..,..,..�..�..1 'ItZburcbneuis .._.._.._.._.._.._.._.._..,.._.._.._..

Ontario Wheat Producers sell largest volume in July Ontario wheat producers have sold the largest volume of wheat during the month of July than for any corresponding month in the past eleven years. According to the first position report issued by the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board for the new crop year beginning July lst, producers sold over 7,600,000 bushels since harvest began about July 7th in Essex County. The previous high was recorded by the board in 1964 at 7,300,000 bushels. Most of the wheat has been moved forward to terminal elevators by the market- ing board in preparation for movement into domestic and export markets. The report issued following a meeting of the marketing board this week also indicated the majority of the first month's harvest was of good quality and although yields are reported to be down somewhat from last year's record 50 bushels per acre average, the total crop is estimated to be in excess of the 22.4 million bushels produced last year. Harvest is progressing east- ward across the province, and although wet weather has hampered operations in some areas in recent days, ,the crop should be completely harvested within about one week. The board reported some sprouting has occurred in south- central areas of the province which may cause some downgrading. In this regard, the board advises producers to watch grades carefully. The tolerances for sprout content in grade No. 1 is 1 percent. No 2, 2 percent. No. 3, 5 percent. No. 4, 8 percent. And No. 5, 12 percent, with over 12 percent grading Sample. Board officials also advise that about 6 million bushels have been sold to date by ,the board for export under • future d..ivery contracts. A must for all tractors and slow moving far machin- ery!

It also provides the family with an opportunity to get out for a fun day in the country. If you haven't visited a pick -your -own farm yet, August is the best month to see what it is like. According to J.K. Hughes, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, many of the fruits and vegetables mature in August, so the choice is really endless. While the two most popular pick -your -own crops are peaches and tomatoes, sweet corn, apples, pears, grapes, bcans and peppers can also be picked depending on the farm. It is ,a good idea to phone ahead to find out what is available. More farms, says Mr. Hughes, are beginning to sell their produce on a per -pound basis rather than by volume. Problems arose when consumers, who were expected to supply their own containers, did not have six -quart or bushel baskets. Selling the produce by the pound saves the farmer headaches and allows consumers to use containers of their own choice. There are many advantages to. pick -your -own fruits and vege- tables. You arc not only ensured Tough Stand Diffident and self-effacing as we may be at home, Canadians can still be tough, shrewd bargainers in the marketplaces of international trade. For example, Canada, in a tough negotiating session with Argentina, has just won a $71.5 million improvement in the terms of sale of a Candu nuclear reactor. Under the old contract we were to lose $96 -million, Under the new one we lose only $24.5 - million, How's that for hard-nosed?

The regulations will require all playpen mesh holes to be small enough so that children's fingers and clothing buttons cannot become entrapped in them. "There have been a number of incidents where infants have managed to poke their fingers in the mesh and get them tightly trapped," Mr. Mackasey said. "In addition, two infants died by choking when clothing buttons became caught up in the mesh. A playpen is the one place above all where a child must be secure," the Minister continued. "I am • very pleased to take action to eliminate this kind of hazard, and I am sure parents will join me in supporting these measures."

Alpha fears hearing will be difficult on new style of phone Hearing aids will not be able to pick up the sound from the balanced armature -style phone Bell Canada plans to install, the Alpha Group fears. More infor- mation about the new phone system is needed, but the group to aid the physically handicapped voted to oppose the installation of the phones until Bell ensures the hard of hearing will not be left in silence. Bell was also criticized for public telephones which arc too high for people in wheelchairs to reach. A letter asking for easier access to the phones will be sent to BeII. While Bell seems to be keeping the handicapped off the phone, local arenas are including ramps for wheelchairs and accessible washrooms and water fountains in their renovation plans. Mr. McDonald of the Exeter Recreational Centre Board out- lined the plans for the new complex at the last Alpha meeting. The Exeter complex will have all the above plus a special arca surrounded by plexiglass that will allow wheelchair spec- tators to sec the action. In addition, Bell will be asked to lower phones for very short people and people in wheelchairs. Other arena boards have been contacted and reacted positively. Goderich, Blyth and Atwood have not replied yet. The July meeting, held at the home of Bert and Helen Sootheran of Clinton, ended with a barbecue.

Decrease in death and injury rate continues Ontario's mandatory seat belt law and lower speed limit regulations continue to have a dramatic effect on the number of motorists killed and injured in traffic accidents, Transportation and Communications Minister James Snow said recently.

Loghrin. They had all been presented with corsages when they arrived. Miss Joan Bennett read the following address: Dear Gail: Your friends couldn't let your happy occasion pass by without adding our very best wishes and congratulations. It was your lucky day when Ken and his friends decided to look over the new summer help at the Vic Inn. One certain girl with her cheery smile and dimples and shining eyes caught his eye. Little did he realize that he would soon have this one special waitress waiting on him. We've watched you grow from the tiny baby your Mom and Dad brought honk to now, soon to be a happy -bride on your father's arm. You've survived crinolines, curls, fancy frills and starched bows. These didn't faze you if you decided to climb on the roof of the little shed behind the hall on the night of a garden party or anywhere else the other boys and girls were going. Needless to say. I'm certainly encouraged by these figures. "It's obvious the legislation is helping to reduce the carnage on our streets and highways. I hope the trend continues," Statistcally, 445 drivers and passengers were killed over the first six months of this year compared to 511 a year ago, a drop of 12.9 percent. The number of drivers and passengers injured is down 18.4 percent. Altogether, 30,022 people were hurt in traffic accidents through the first six months of 1976, compared to 36,787 in 1975. The total number of accidents is down slightly •• 99,164 this year, compared to 100,057 in 1975, there were often torn dresses and scratched arms and legs, but Mother still perserved to make a lady out of you, You were always full of life, especially at the church group meetings, and Mother again couldn't under- stand why you just couldn't sit still like some of the other little girls. Big brother often frowned on some of your antics, but this was all part of the fun of growing up. Bare bum, 4-H club work, boys and Public School, high school, and later college all added to your education. You have taken a very active part in this community with your singing choir, C.G.I.T., young peoples, and you always had time to take a carload to the movies or Family Paradise. A lot of children got their start in Sunday School with you as their first Kindergarten teacher. You are still following your love of children in your chosen profes- sion and we know you will still follow this love in your own home when the time conies. Now, we couldn't let you go without some advice - When you marry Ken • love him, after you marry him -study him. If he is honest, honour him. If he is generous, appreciate him. When he is sad, cheer him, when he is cross, ignore him. When he is talkative, listen to him. When he is guarrelsome, keep out of his way. If he is lazy, speir him. If he is noble, praise him, If he is secretive, trust him, If he cares not for pleasure, coax him. If he favors society, accompany. When he deserves it, kiss him. Let him think how well you understand him, but never let him know you manage him. And now, as you view and make use of these gifts, which are gven as a slight expression of our Tove, may you think of us one by one. All the very best to you and Ken. • Your friends. The gifts were carried in by Sharon Pryce, Pamela Hackwell, Kathy Blake, Connie Birk, Mary Alice Ryan and Joan Bennett. Gail thanked everyone for the lovely gifts and invited every one in to the parents home to see her gifts on Sunday, August 15. A beautiful table cloth worked by Phyllis Mitchell was presented to Gail when names of those who attended had been written on it with Cameo paints by Julie Mitchell.

While staying in Blyth Mrs. Rollings helped in celebrating her grandson Douglas' 15th Birthday, Mr. and Mrs, Howard Campbell returned from London on Saturday where Howard had eye surgery in Victoria Hospital, Mr. and Mrs, Keith Snell and boys of Swastika were visitors with Mr and Mrs. Howard Campbell at weekend, returning to their home on Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. Laurie Scott and Mr. and .Mrs. Ralph Caldwell spent the holiday weekend travelling through points of interest in eastern Ontario and Quebec, returning home on Tuesday, Books in Blyth Library By Antony Trew In Ultimatum, Antony Trew depicted with frightening clarity how it "could happen here", With chilling plausibility he describes how a group of ultra -militant terrorists hijack a nuclear warhead, smuggle it into London, and issue an ultimatum that it will be detonated within 72 hours unless the British and United States Governments accede unequivocally to their demands for an independent Palestine. Though this story is fictional, there is a grim reality as the minutes tick away towards the dramatic climax., RAGTIME By E.L. Doctorow In Contrast to Ultimatum, Ragtime is set in America at the beginning of the century. its characters: three _remarkable families whose lives become entwined with people whose names we all know - Henry Ford, Houdini, J.P. Morgan, Freud and others. It is'a novel so original, so full of imagination, and subtle pleasure that to» describe it further would spoil the , joy of reading it. THE SEVENTH STAR By Marjory Hall This book is Marjory Hall's seventh about an American legend.. Like the others it is an exciting interweaving of fact and fiction with Prescilla as the heroine. In the autumn of 1777, while a naval captain, John Paul Jones, is waiting for his ship to be completed in the shipyards, he stays at Priscilla's house, Secretly she and her friends make a flag for the new ship, As she stitches, Priscilla dreams of the handsome captain, but as it turns out it is young Mark Jaffrey who watches the flag through four years of sea action. In the meantime our heroine manages to get into quite a lot of trouble before she decides which man she is waiting for. THE WHALE PEOPLE By Roderick Haig -Brown This is a story about the Indian tribes in British Columbia who hunted the giant whales of the Pacific Ocean. Nit-gass was the thief of the Hotsath, who were a whaling tribe. One day the chief did not return from a whale hunt. Now his young son, Atlin became the new chief of the Hotsath, Would he be able to provide for his people during the long winter? We learn of'his struggles as he grew to manhood and how he mastered each of them in this tale, Don't forget the Story Hour on August 17 at 1:40 p.m. . 1976 Beef Cattle day offers diverse program Farm tours, displays, guest speakers and a beef barbecue are features of this year's South- western Ontario Beef Cattle Day. The program is being held at Ridgetown College of Agricult- ural Technology , on Thursday, August 26, beginning at 1:00 p.m., says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food beef specialist, J.G. Forsyth. However, optional tours of two slatted floor beef barns are offered in the morning. Feature speaker of the after- noon is corn -cow -feeder operator, David Garst of Coon Rapids, Iowa. He will be speaking on "Beef Cattle and Cows in Corn Country". Later in the afternoon, a feedlot workshop is scheduled, with lectures on "Health and Receiv- ing Programs" and "What's New in Feeding". One of the speakers will be giving his talk from the University of Minnesota via Pork Producers must battle parasites Through better hygiene, pork producers can cut down on financial losses caused by worms. This was the result of a recently completed field study conducted by the Veterinary Services Branch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. One of the study co-ordinators, Dr. S..1. Martin, says the results of the study indicated a strong correlation between clean farm premises and a low worm burden. It also showed that if a regular worming program was followed, Hill compliments Whelan on Quota Allocations "Federal Agricultural Minister Eugene Whelan is to be complimented for easy monthly quota allocations for industrial milk producers," said Gordon Hill, President, Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture. "Mr. Whelan's announced changes will make the program acceptable for most dairy producers," Mr. Hill said. "However, there is a small group of Ontario shippers who find themselves without the necessary amount of quota to stay in business. Many of these are new shippers who were encour- aged into, -production by the Ontario Government IMPIP pro- gram. They had the understand• ing that quota would be available when they needed it. "The IMPIP program," Mr. Hill said, "was a good program and of benefit to all Ontario people, The Ontario Government, in Mr. Hill's opinion, was sincere in introducing the program and should now come to the aid of producers caught with high expenses and insufficient quotas to finance their farm operations. "Ottawa has amended their part of the program," said Mr Hill. "Nov, Ontario Agricultural and Food Minister, Wm. Newman, should assist farmers to get necessary quota and offer to pay over -quota levy for those Ontario dairymen caught in the squeeze." Learn to swim safely the Red Cross way this winter.

According to Dr. Martin, it is to the farmer's advantage to have a regularly conducted worming program. He recommends that producers concentrate on their breeding stock.

Dr. Martin adds that worming costs are minimal compared to the cost of extra feed due to worms. "It could cost up to 25 cents per 100 pound weight (45 kiloMrams). of pig wormed, depending -'upon the agent required.

I would do anything in the world to please him. Because of this 1 am now in a very embarrassing situation. We can't get by on my husband's paycheck so I have taken a part-time job in a Catholic rectory. It is a pleasant place to work and 1 have the respect of all the priests in the house—at least I did have until a few days ago. My husband sometimes asks me to do unusual things to get him excited sexually. So long as it involves only the two of us I feel it is perfectly all right to accom- modate him. Last Thursday he asked me to dress up like a street -walker and meet him at a certain place. I agreed. While I stood on the corner, with a ton of makeup, wearing a miniskirt, black net stockings, suede plat- forms and a padded bra, one of the pastors from the rectory came by. Rarely is he at a loss for words, but when he saw me he gasped, stopped dead in his tracks, gulped hard and hurried on. The following day, this lovely man was cool to me. I'm just sick about it and don't know what to , do. Shall I explain the circum- stances to him and hope he understands? Not A Happy Hooker Dear Not:Keep quiet. In order to justify yourself you'd have to squeal on your husband. Let's hope the priest has heard about ' costume parties and thjnks you were headed for one. DEAR ANN: A friend gave me a kitten she had been hiding for two weeks. They already had three cats and two dogs. Her husband threatened to throw her out of the house with the animals if she took in one more. The "kitten" is now ten months old and has caused more damage than I can describe in one letter. I have scars on my arms, legs and face from the scratches. Several pieces of furniture have been rimed to shreds. My carpets arc permanently stained. The cat has attacked guests and scared several small children. Is it possible that he is mentally disturbed? I love animals and have never had one I couldn't train or make friends with. Please tell me what to do. I am •- baffled Dear Buff: Animals can be mentally disturbed, sank as humans. From your description. you may well have a psychotic cat on your hands. Take hint to a veterinarian for evaluation and counsel. DEAR ANN: I married a kind, considerate, thoughtful man. It's the second marriage for both Ben and me. We are in our 50s. - Ben's children are in their 20s. He has given then cars, paid their golf fees, continues to hand over spending money and buy them luxuries. Nobody works. They are all in college (for which their father pays, of course). When 1 point out that his kids are taking advantage of him he becomes sullen and uncommuni- cative. Our marriage • would be perfect if it weren't for this problem. What should I do? --Clear View Dear Clear:- Lay off. Your husband knows you are right but he can't help himself. His relationship with his children was established long before he met you. The principal reason for se- eond•nurrriagc failures is kids. So watch it, dear, lest you become a statistic, * * * Parents, what should you do if your teenager is having sexual relations? Ann Landers's new booklet, "High School Sex And How To Deal With It -•A Guide For Teens and their Parents," gives no-nonsense advice on how to handle this delicate situation. For each booklet, send 50 cents in coin plus a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope to Ann Landers, P.O. Box 1400, Elgin, Illinois 60120. © Copyright 1976 Field Enterprises, Inc.

For lawns which show no sign of weeds or crabgrass, feed with CiL Golfgreen fertilizer at 10 lbs, per 1000 sq. ft. around mid- August, and water in well, Hot, dry weather places severe stress of lawn grasses, and they require food and deep watering to get through this period in good condition. Lawns which have weeds but no crabgrass should be fed with CIL Wecd & Feed at 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. Spread evenly and do not water for several days to allow the weed killer to complete its work. Do not apply if rain is forecast. Formulated with a Golfgreen base, it provides the food your lawn needs now. Poa Annua presents another problem. If you did not use a preventer in the spring, and it's in the lawn now, you can stop its reappearance next year by applying CIL Crab Grass Doctor now at 10 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. It should be watered in well. Crab Grass Doctor, with its Golfgreen fertilizer base, also feeds your lawn. Chinch bugs and clover mites can also be a problem at this time oI' year, and they can be controlled with CIL Lawn Insect Doctor or CIL Diazinon Liquid. In addition to controlling insects, Lawn Insect Doctor also provides the food your lawn needs. It should be applied at 100 lbs, per 1000 sq. ft. If you're planning to reseed the lawn this fall, do not apply Crab Grass Doctor, Feed 'with Golfgreen instead, and treat broadieaved weeds and insects with CIL Lawn Wecd Killer or CIL Diazinon Liquid, whichever is needed. Crab' Grass Doctor prevents the germination of crabgrass seeds and will similarly affect lawn grass seed, Ex -Mayor of Kincardine dies Douglas Young of Kincard- ine, former mayor of that town for .4 years, died on Friday of last week.
