Mr. Eendenberg's arrangement of sunflowers, stands In • the foreground... staff photo. O.H.C. in never-never land By rights the story should probably start off: "Once upon a time...". It sounds too much like a fairy tale to be true. For Reeve Robbie Lawrie and other village officials, however, it's been more like a nightmare, a long one. The on -again, off -again Blyth senior citizens' housing building is on again...maybe, The seniors' housing question has been hanging around for over three years now.. Early this spring, after putting up with the frustration of government bureaucracy for many months, it seemed to village officials that the end was in sight. A contract was let for an 18:unit apartment 'building and work began. But somebody at the Ontario Housing Corporation goofed. The builder quickly found the site unsuitable without expensive alterations. The lot required fill and if fill was used and expensive concrete support pad was needed for the building. O.H.C. officials balked at the added expense. A second 'site in the east end of the village was suggested by O.H.C. officials but after council had taken an option on the property, it too was,unsuitable. The project was in limbo. Reeve Lawrie spent hours on the telephone talking to O.H.C. officials and officials from. the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the federal body which would provide funds for the project. Each one blamed the other for delays. Now, instead of getting an 18 -unit building, Blyth just might end up with a two•sterey, 24 -unit building on the original Qpeen Street site. Bureaucratic thinking is that the 18 -unit building is not large enough to justify the added cost of fill and support pad but a two storey, 24 -unit building would require a smaller pad and spread the cost over more units. Now, O.H.C. officials are trying to ascertain if there are enough seniors available .to fill the extra units. If their survey is positive, the building could start shortly; If.... Reeve Robbie Lawrie, expressing his frustration at the whole dragged -out mess wondered how the bureaucratic mind works when it can't justify a few thousands more for an 18 -unit building but can justify spending many thousands to build 24 units when the O.H.C.- itself ' and earlier said Blyth only needed, 18 units. Meanwhile Clerk, Larry Walsh showed council the copies of the legal agreement sent from the legal department of O.H.C. Thg accompanying 'letter said that since Blyth's project would soon be opening, the agreement on cost sharing should be signed. Apparently no one had bothered to tell the legal department that the Blyth project, originally scheduled to open next month was nothing more than a hole in the ground. After a good deal of bitter humour at the expense of governmgnt officials by members of council, Councillor William Howson suggested perhaps the unlikely tale of the apartment project could provide material for a hilarious play at next year's Summer Festival. Just $25,000 more n eeded for start o n arena Blyth is just $25,000 away from having a; nevi arena for this winter. To date 74,516 has been raised in donations for the new community centre complex to serve Blyth and District. The building committee has been reviewing several designs and has decided that it cannot sign a contract with a builder until the $100,000 mark has 'been reached in fundraising. It is hoped that the extra $25,000 needed for a start on the building will be raised in the next two weeks. If so, construction could begin almost imme- diately with the building far enough advanced to allow use by early winter, The building and, fund raising commi- ttees • expressed appreciation with 'the response to date and say they hope thole who have not yet donated will do so noW; tO, ( help get the arena started. All -donations are tax deductible. Even after the $100,000 mark has been reached, there will still be a lot of money needed but temporary financing has been arranged to let construction start while the rest of the money is raised. There will not, the committees stressed, be any portion of the building going on municipal taxes.

In the recent press report concerning the Sale of the salvaged materials from the old arena, the list of expenses included money paid to auctioneers and clerks. The canvassing committee would like to make it clear that all expenses incurred from the auctioneers and clerks at the sale will be fncd back over to the..building fund in the' ftirm=ofa donation from these persons. Still a few tickets left for arena benefit As of Tuesday morning there were only about 90 tickets still left for the benefit performance of Mostly in Clover, village Clerk,Larry Walsh said. Mr. Walsh is handling sales of the tickets for the performance of the play on Saturday night by the Blyth Summer Festival. The Festival will turn over all proceeds from the show above normal production costs. Ticket prices have been increased by one dollar for the show and if Memorial Hall is sold out, it could mean upwards of 51,000 toward the arena fund. The show sold out every performance during the regular season of the Festival and many people were turned away. Those wishing to see the show and help the arena fund at the same time should get their tickets early, Mr. Walsh said since he expects the remainder to go before the night of the performance. Boardstaff gets 15% increase BY ROSS HAUGH ' Clerical and secretarial staff employees of the Huron County Board of Education will receive a new contract as the result of a settlement ratified by board members Monday afternoon. The memorandum of settlement with Local 1428 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees called for a 15 percent increase in salary with eight percent being retroactive to January 1, 1976 and payable immediately.

Blyth council studies several development plans Blyth village council spent considerable property until they see how the arca time Monday night discussing develop- develops. ment plans for the village. The first discussion' took place over a request from William Knox of Dinsley Street East who, represented by his lawyer Paul Ross, wanted the village to deed to him for "a nominal fee" a 66 -foot right-of-way for an unused street to the east of his house. A developer, Mr. Knox explained, wants to buy his large parcel of land on the north side of Dinsley and running back to the railway tracks and wants the area of the street allowance as part of the parcel. Mr. Ross explained he felt the street was unlikely ever to be opened. Council discussed the idea after Mr. Ross and Mr. Knox left, however, and decided they weren't so sure the street wouldn't be needed if the area was developed and decided to hold on to the Council also discussed street and drain extensions to serve new housing develop- ments. A new drain will be constructed from Morris and Wellington streets down to McConnell and along the new McConnell Street extension, east of Morris street. The drain will be built by George Radford 'Construction and is estimated to cost $6,000. The engineer had estimated $ L4,753. McConnell street will also be extended to serve new houses. Council received word that there may be a further application for severence on Dinsley Street • west on the farm of Murray Siertsema, That would mean a further road extension in that end of town. Huron county council has proposed a system of grants to those communities joining in an area recreation system to share costs, A meeting will be held in Wingham on August 26 and several members of council, along with representa- tives of the recreation committee will attend. Word was received from the Huron County Planning department that research on the plan for Blyth is about one half completed as soon as this phase is completed public meetings will be held to discuss the plan. Council has received the proposed rate structure for the sewerage system for the village from the Ministry of the Environment and will discuss the proposal at the September meeting once councillors have had a chance to carefully study the plan. Estimated starting time for the project now is April, 1979. The Ministry had earlier suggested a possibility of a 1976 start when council first began working with officials on installing sewers in the village. Council, in a meeting with Reeve Robbie Lawrie excluded, agreed to award the contract for painting the ext%or trim on Memorial Hall and the town office building and the interior of the library to Lawrie Decorating. The price for the job is $2,500, Earlier tenders of $7,000 and $3,000 had been discarded by council because they felt they were too high. Building permits were issued for new houses to John Manning and Harold Carter. An offer from Carter's Waste Disposal of Wingham to do Blyth's garbage pick-up at a rate of $100 per week was put on file by the council. The Wingham firm, which services Wingham and Brussels, has a modern garbage truck with compactor. Council felt that as long as there is still burning at the Blyth dump the compactor would actually hinder quick incineration so decided to continue with the present system for the present time but keep the Wingham firm in mind. • BUSINESS DIRECTORY ELLIOTT REAL ESTATE AGENCY Gordon Elliott, Broker R.

Pioneer Thresher Assoc. membership increases by 21 Huron Pioneer Threshers met in Roy Hallahan's shed Saturday evening, There was a large attendance as 21 new members joined. This bring& the total number of members to 196, ' Chairman Fred Mote said he was very pleased with the number out to the meeting saying that the future of the Huron Pioneer threshers looks bright. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the Secretary, Simon Hallahan and adopted on motion of Len James and Irvine Keyes. The chairman asked each committee chairman for a report. Clare Vincent reported on the gate committee; Gerry McGlynn on the sawmill; John Hallahan on the threshing; Frank Hallahan on the grain to thresh; George McBride on the grounds; Norman Smith gas engines and tractors; George Searson large steam engines; John Ellicott small steam engines. The chairman said he had a request from Board will reconsider school rental fees BY ROSS HAUGH The Huron Board 'of Education took no action Monday afternoon on a request from South Huron District High School principal J. L Wooden to reconsider a new schedule of fees for the use of school facilities. Acting on a suggestion of director D. J. Cochrane, the Board agreed to ask principals in the late fall as to how student councils are affected by the new fee structure. The letter from South Huron questioned the fairness of expect- ing student councils to pay for extra custodial services when the money raised by council is used to support activities at the school. Wooden said the athletic programme at South Huron costs the student council $2,000 per year and more than $1,000 is contributed to the Commence- ment programme.. Trustee Jack Alexander of Wingham asked if custodians were always needed and suggest- ed, "these groups should be responsible enough' to look after things themselves." Trustee Marian Zinn asked if every high school was in the same position and was told by Seaforth principal Bruce Shaw who was in attendance as an observer, "Yes, definitely." Shaw said principals have been considering the possibility of having the student councils rent the facilities. Superintendent Bob Allan said some of the functions were rather Targe and needed custodial help. ACCEPT OIL TENDER The tender of Sun Oil Company to supply fuel oil to every school in Huron County for next year was accepted by the Board. Sun Oil with the lowest of nine tenders will supply fuel oil to 15 schools in the county for 31 cents per gallon. NIGHT SCHOOLS SUCCESSFUL • The Board learned that night school classes during 1975-76 were very successful in the five secondary schools. Night •school registers indicate that 1,544 people attending classes during the fall term completed 27,051 hours of instruction and 1,524 attending spring term classes completed 24,372 hours of instruction. Calculated into student days this adds approximately 53 students to the secondary school. enrolment. This represents an increase of •28 percent in attendance oyer the previous year. Night school principals con- tinue to report that courses of shorter duration have more acceptance than 20 week courses. Each night school centre is encouraged to attempt to meet It's not work to walk. So why not walk to work? MmYwmm�„ Walk a hkK•k.7lwlay. • local requests. Starting dates for 1976-77 classes will be the week of October 4. Salaries for instructors will be $14 per hour, an increase of $1 per hour. APPROVE FIELD TRIPS Field trips to Camp Sylvan for McCurdy school students, Sep- tember 20 to 22 and Huron Centennial' from October 5 to 7 were approved. • the secretary saying the Blyth Lions would like a barbecue on Saturday evening of the show if it didn't interfere with Mrs. Miller. However, after much discussion it wds moved by Fred LaBeau and George Searson that owing to the fact Mrs. Miller came to the group at a time when it was not able to get anyone else that •the Association not break our contract with her as we have to look for other years ahead. All felt that the money is really needed with the new arena and Bill Vincent said the group will try and give the Arena fund as much money and help as possible this Fall as it Will also be a great help to the threshers as the present facilities were very unsatisfactory to the Board of Health. The association appreciates the nice signs put up by the Board' of Trade. There will be a bee on Saturday, August 21 to get things ready and a good number is hoped to turn out. The chairman adjourned the meeting.

Such was the case Sunday night when the CTV television network rebroadcast a special Inquiry show on the -Canadian Armed Forces. Host and producer Jack McGaw obviously is not friend of Prime Minister Trudeau, He made that point quickly evident as he seemed, from the opening sentence, to lay the blame for all that is wrong with the Armed Forces at the feet of Pierre Trudeau. His opinion, of course, is shared by many people connecte 1 with the armed forces who have seen the forces continue a downhill slide in budgeting and manpower ever since Trudeau took power in 1968, Many who have seen airbases like C.F.B. Clinton closed have cursed the man. There is no doubt that he must share the blame for the mess the armed forces are in. Yet in blaming him, there should also be fairness. McGaw ridiculed many aspects of the armed services and by intimation blamed them on Trudeau when they were none of his doing. When armed forces unification was mentioned; for instance, it was never pointed out that the policy was initiated under the Pearson government. The program ridiculed the purchase of the Starfighter intercepter plane and the Bomarc missle, both of which go back to the Diefenbaker era. In fact, if we're going to be really fair, let us blame the beginning of th mess the forces are now in on John Diefenbaker. 1t was he who started the slide by vetoing building of the Avro Arrow, the most advanced aircraft of its time because, he said, manned bombers were no longer a threat. Soon afterwards his government purchased Bomarc anti-aircraft missiles that required nuclear warheads, but refused to install the warheads making the missies useless. Then he went out and purchased the American designed Starfighter as a nuclear strike bomber but again didn't providt 'the bombs. The Pearson government continued the debacle ordering such goodies as the navy's hydro -foil patrol ship that has never been used. Yes, the Trudeau government is to blame for the present mess, but the Prime Minister is only carrying on the, inglorious tradition of. his predecessors. McGaw fell into the trap of starting out with an opinion; and finding facts to support it, instead of studying the facts available, then coming up with an opinion. in his lack of objectivity and fairness he did a disservice to the Prime Minister; the viewers of the show and the profession of journalism. Bravo for a good season Just 18 months ago, the idea of professional theatre in Blyth was enough to have many local people and many theatre professionals splitting their sides in laughter. Well, there's been a,lot of laughter in • the past two summers but it's been because of summer theatre not because of the idea of it. The second annual Blyth Summer Festival wound up Saturday night and it is obvious that professional theatre in Blyth is here to stay. If the first season of the Festival was thought to be a miracle.s.easen,"ttiis was the season that proved there was no miracle involved, just good judgement, hard work and lots and lots of talent. The praise must go to everyone involved in the Festival from the dedicated volunteers to the professional actors, directors, technicians and writers who made the Festival such a popular place this summer. And popular it was. The final week saw three sold -out performances. During the six-week season about 6000 persons (final figures are no yet available) packed into Memorial Hall, the hall many in the community once felt would never be filled again. The attention gained for the Festival this summer was far from just a local thing. Top newspaper theatre critics from across the country visited Blyth and wrote glowing reviews. An impressive number of big shots in the Canadian entertainment industry came to sample the fare and generally gave the ,impression they were pleased. Officials of C.B.C. television attended the Festival and are currently considering two of the Festival productions, The Blood is Strong and Mostly in Clover for production on television. The credit for the success must go.firstly to artistic director James Roy, who accepted the challenge, first of all, of building professional theatre in a tiny village where it had failed in many larger cities and secondly who chose the course of presenting Canadian plays of special significance to Western Ontario residents. Not only has that made the Festival popular with local audiences, but it has won it respect throughout theatre circles across the country. . Credit must also go to the talented actors and musicians of the Festival, among the best staffs of any theatre in Canada. But credit must also go to the people of Blyth. Many of the talented members of this year's company are already looking forward to coming back next year because of the wonderful way they welcomed the people and generally supported the theatre. Oh sure there were the grouchcrs and bitchers, but in general the people of Blyth have been magnificent in welcoming the cast and the visitors who came to see the plays. In the future, as the Festival grows, this warmth will become as important a part of the attraction of the festival as the plays themselves. The Festival will continue to grow, there's little doubt of that now. It will continue to bring a mid -summer push to the local economy in the years to come. To take best advantage of the situation, however, it will take the efforts of everyone in the village. It is truly a festival for all of Blyth; Pump .and plants How to make a week's BY KEITH ROULSTON Well, it's back to the old grind again after one-week respite. In these days of extended vacations, one week • probably doesn't seem long to most people. There's one •way to make it seem long, however: spend it cooped up in a small cottage with three small children who can't go outside because it hasn't stopped raining. It's guaranteed to make you glad to get back to work. That's the way it went last week as we got away from it all for a few days at a relatives cottage in the Kawartha area. Apparently we got the same as embody else has been getting on their holidays in that area all along so who arc we to complain. it did, however, get your mind off the pressures of the newspaper. business, even if it did put your mind on the pressures of being a parent trying to amuse three bored kids. It gave plenty of time to read though and to think and that could cause some minor depres- sion in itself, Out in that part of the country you drive for miles through what vacatia>> seem like a month looks like semi -wilderness of rocks and pine trees and swamp. Suddenly, you come upon a lake and it's just like being in the city. There are cottages by the hundred, people by the thousand. You expect solitude, peace and quiet and instead you get crowds and the constant roar of motor . boats, yes even when it rains. We hear all kinds of talk about the housing shortage, yet here arc thousands of people who not only have one home, but two. We hear complaints about how hard it is to make ends meet, yet here are thousands of people who pay around $15,000 to $20,000 just for a small patch of rock to build a cottage on, and then go on to build a cottage with nearly every modern convenience, and sink several thousand • more dollars into motor boats, canoes, sail boats, water skis and who knows what else. We hear so much about the energy crisis and the shortage of gasoline and other fuels, yet every Saturday and Sunday millions of gallons of gasoline are expended by people racing around the hundreds of little lakes that dot the cottage country. Yes it can get a little depressing when you think of the millions of dollars spent every year in this mad dash for pleasure when millions of people in other parts of the world can't even afford food to keep them alive, ***** The road we travelled to get to the cottage also gave pause for thought. It was hilly and curvy as it wound over and around great mounds of solid rock. Construction crews were busy trying to smooth and straighter( tke road out a little bit. The method involved hours of drilling holes to insert dynamite, then blasting the rock to pieces and cleaning up the pieces. Rather expensive road building. How much of our money here in Huron county is helping build those roads for tourists from Toronto to get to there cottages, one wondered, while our high- ways back home were relatively cheap to build? Ah well, perhaps its best to be back at work where things move so fast you don't have time to think about things like these. CASTLE .project helps CASTLE project - Children's Aid Society Teen Living Exper- ience • put down roots August 5 -as members of Huron County Council, at a special summer session, agreed to purchase a house in Goderich to provide an independence home for a group of teenage girls, The girls • ranging in age from 15 to 18 -• have been living together in rented accommoda- tion in Goderich for the last few months, The only supervision in the home is a "model" who is a young woman employed at the CAS office in Goderich. .The "model" does not actually supervise, either. She only provides an example of the kind of orderly life expected of the girls in the home • working, running a household, budgeting . money, general appearance, normal behaviour. CAS director Bruce Heath claims simply, "It has worked," When the owner of the present CASTLE accommodation decided to sell the property, Mr, Heath said,, CAS workers immediately began to look for another location for the project, The search ended last Thursday evening when county council agreed to purchase a large home at the corner of Nelson Street and Cambria Road in Goderich for $40,000. The CAS director views the county's decision as "a business arrangement". The initial money for the property will be provided by the county, but the costs will be amortized. over a 20 -year period at 12 percent, resulting in Exeter company find for safety. breach A Provincial Court judge has criticized J.F. Farm Machinery Ltd. of Exeter for permitting unsafe working conditions which resulted in an industrial accident. The company was found guilty of contravening Section 24 of the Ontario Industrial Safety Act and, was fined $1,500. in Provincial Court, Criminal Division before Judge Hayes, The company was not represented at the trial, held on Tuesday, August 10, On January 6, William Hay, 17, of Zurich, lost part of his right thumb in an accident involving an unguarded punch press. "No young person should be subjected to such a handicap for the rest of his life because of contraventions by the Act by an employer," Judge Hayes said. Under the Industrial Safety Act, the Ministry of Labour is responsible for ensuring safe' working conditions in industrial establishments and logging operations.

PG.'S: Huron county girls annual payments by CAS to the County of $5,355,15, As well, the CAS will pay the taxes. on the property, as well as maintain and repair the house and adjoining land. CASTLE project first came into being when CAS could no longer provide foster homes for the growing number of teenagers coming into care. Of the 72 children presently under the care of CAS, 42 are teenagers. Mr, Heath explained quite candidly that Over the last three years, CAS has "bumbled from one situation to the other" when it came to teenagers. He said foster parents suited for dealing with the problems of adolescents were difficult to find. Still, the teenagers kept coming into care - from all over the county. "We didn't know where to place the kids," stated Mr. Heath. Castle project has been a kind of pilot project, the director admitted. He said . there have been anxious moments, with some young people actually evicted from the house for various reasons. • "But we now have the nucleus of a real good group," said Mr. Heath proudly. "Castle project is working." One of the features of project Castle is the amount of responsi- bility turned over to the young women. Although all the resi- dents enter into a written contract with CAS before entering project Castle, the emphasis is on independence for those in the program. The residents of the home are responsible for every. thing • including paying for food, rent, utilities out of the expense TREESW w money provided by. CAS. "At first they . didn't manage too, well," claimed Mr. Heath. "But there was no sugar daddy to bail them out. They learned to • make the food money last for the month, Even the furnishings in the home are "niggardly" said Mr, Heath, who hastened to point out this was done purposely. He said the residents of the house now have begun to take a real interest in the home, and much of the furnishings have been "begged, borrowed and recruited" by the young people themselves. CAS workers • feel there is reason tohope that similar projects could be useful in dealing with the problem of other teenagers in care. The ultimate goal is, of course, to return the young people to their homes and their families in due course, In the meantime, however, methods must be found to help teenagers and their parents over what have become intolerable circum- stances. Castle project is one such method, Some county councillors expressed concern about "flack" from those in the neighbourhood around Castle project. "No matter where we go some eyebrows will be raised initially," asserted Mr. Heath. When the vote was taken concerning the purchase of the property, it was approved easily. Some councillors even expressed their satisfaction with the success of the Castle project to date, Routine reports were submitted to council from the Executive Committee, the Special Commit- tee, the Committee of Manage- ment of Huronview and the Board of Health. Former warden Anson McKinley, reeve of Stanley Township, gave a brief report of the meeting of the Commission on the Reform of Property Taxation in Ontario, held in Goderich recently. The county had expressed some of its concerns to the Commission, including a feeling that there would be no real inceptive for rural townships' with little' urban development to maintain a reasonable level of taxes with the province paying a large portion of the total taxes to the municipality; a hidden control of the sale of farm land because of taxes having to be paid back to the province if sold for purposes other than farming; and the administrative nightmare caused in small rural municipalities by the necessity of making applica- tion to the treasurer of the munici?ality for payment of the taxes by the province. It was decided to appoint a negotiating committee to negotiate all salaries of county employees. Members of the committee will be the warden, the administrator, the chairman of the executive committee and the chairman of the committee involved (or designate), as well as the department head of the committee involved (except when his . own salary is being discussed). The negotiation committee will report to the committee of the department involved for endorsa- tion and .to county council with respect to salary negotiations, except for the salaries of department heads, these matters to be reported to the special committee for consideration and recommendation. A motion to reintroduce the matter of applying for a Private Members' Bili to reduce the number of members on county council to 36 from 45 (the way it was before the change in the voting age necessitated the addition of nine deputy -reeves) was tabled. until the September meeting, likely Friday, September 24. 4141Limmulat Ola:.tGS D' GS Ph �e 4$2.4511 OUR MAIL ORDER SERVICE 1 S AS CLOS S YOUR T PHONE D ' G SUNDRIES Y MEDICINES (•lilrtu,• 1) etto know us...

Other members of the County Ehibit Committee, are Wilfred Houston, Borden Fenton, Robert Byers, Roy Hammel, Garry Harron, George Grant and John Loney. He continued, "There is no availability of student replace- ment in Exeter, Usborne or Stephen and transportation costs for students who now walk to school could be as much as $29,000 per year," With recent improvements of storm windows, gas boiler con- version and roof repairs, the report said the school was suitable for accupancy for 15 years with normal maintenance. Heating costs are favourable with other schools. PURCHASE NEVI BUSES The Board appioved the purchase of six new school buses to be delivered during the period from January to August, 1977, contingent upon Ministry grant approval. Transportation R. L. Cunning- ham told the Board, "The Ministry of Education calculates the life expectancy of a school bus to be seven years. It is therefore my opinion that the board owned buses should have an annual turnover of six buses." Of the 40 buses now owned' by the Board, three were purchased in 1967, seven in 1970 and 13 in 1971; • Purchases for the calendar year 1976 were cancelled earlier this year due to financial restraints and Cunningham said he has been told by Ministry officials to sehd a letter outlining the reasons that an expenditure to purchase six nevi buses in 1977 was necessary before the actual purchase' was initiated, 1876 1976 McK ILOr MUTUAL FIRE IN UR • NCE COMPANY HEAD OFFICE: % MAIN ST., SEAFORTH, ONT .Mrs. Margaret S a Sec.

From the Minister's Study BY TED HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH • In Jesus Christ we hear God speak to us: "1 am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless." (Gen 17.1) And in order to be blameless, God has given his Word, the Bible, that we may know Christ. , Knowing Christ does not mean, of course, in just having the Bible laying around in home, church, and, school. To know Christ means that he is the one who has given us a new life and made us blameless before God, both iri life and in death. Then we may hear God speak to us: "My Son died for' you!" This means to be filled with awe and wonder of God's majesty. Awe and wonder lack so often, frk•in a sophisticated world and society they have no place. But it is to the detriment of everyone that .the sense of awe is missing. ' Christ would fill us with his awesomeness, but he•does so quietly. He does not come with armies and wage great battles in the sense, that people try to impose beliefs on other countries. He does not come'with violence. He comes quietly through his Word ,that is proclaimed from Christian pulpits on Sundays. The people who come to hear him speak and who arc hurt, broken, he does not destroy; he gives to them strength to walk before him. People who are like dimly burning lights, i.e., struggle with faith and life, he does not quench; rather, he makes their flame burn with new vigor. THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 18, 1976. PG.' 7.

I rejoiced when they were permitted to wear the modified habit. It dispensed with several yards of unnecessary fabric, which must have been very hot in summer and cumber- some all year 'round. The modified garb still identified them as Sisters, however, and; that was important. Now, it seems, most ordors will Local youths have top boar Jeffrey and Bradley Cook, 14 and 11 ' year old sons of Arnold Cook, Belgrave had .the top indexing boar 'in the August group of 83 boars which corn• pleted test at the Ontario Swine Test Station, RR 2, New Hamburg. The top indexing boar was an outstanding Yorkshire with a high performance index of 134 which combined low backfat thickness of .48 inches,, high average daily gain.on test. of 2.15 pounds and very low feed conversion of only 2.24 pounds feed per pound gain, Seco d highest indexing boar was a Hampshiretifrom the herd of Glen Kchoe and Dick Cheswick, Windsor. This top Hampshire, with a performance index of 132, combined extremely (ow backfat thickness of only .44 inches, good average daily gain of 1.97 pounds and extremely good feed conver- sion of only 2.16 pounds feed per pound gain. Also among the top indexing boars with an index of 128, was a Landrace x Yorkshire crossbred froth the :herd of Donald Henry, Bluevale. Top indexing Landrace which ale bythe forthe s approved wasa r v PP selection committee was, from the herd of Martin Van Bilsen, Glencoe while the highest index- ing Duroc approved for the sale was from the herd , of Andy Schertzer, Tecumseh, The Performance Index now being used at the Test Station evaluates the overall performance of each boar while on test and combines the important economic traits of backfat thickness, aver- , age daily gain`•and feed conver- sion into one composite index. The average performance index of each group, is always 100 and indexes of individual boars can range from over 140 down to below 50. Only those boars with a satisfactory performance index and which are approved by a culling committee for physical soundness are offered for sale at the monthly station tested boar ; sales held at the Test Station, RR 2, New Hamburg (four miles west of New Dundee). Twenty-seven of the top boars in the August group including the top indexing ones mentioned above will be sold at the Test Station on August 26 at 7:30 p.m. The August group of 83 boars from which the 27 for the sale were selected had the best overall performance of any group ever tested with ,average backfat thickness of .56 inches, average daily gain of 1.95 pounds and feed conversion of 2,46 pounds feed per pound gain. THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 18, 1976. PG. 13. Old ways are the best, reader says permit the Sisters to wear anything from sweaters and skirts to pantsuits. 1 am an R.N. and am required to wear the uniform and cap when on duty. 1 worked hard for the privilege of wearing my uniform and cap and would continue to wear them if the regulations went out the window tomorrow, Too b;.'1 the Sisters fought to gain so,'• thing that took them down a notch. What do you think? --Can't Tell The Players Without a Program Dear Can't: I think the same as you. The good (Sisters lost something of value when they got out of the habit. DEAR ANN LANDERS: My husband divorced his wife and I divorced my husband so we could marry, We both have sons. His is nine'years of age, Mine is six. My son lives with us and his son is here every Sunday and often for the entire weekend. He also spends two weeks with us every summer, My son idolizes his stepfather and gets along fine with his stepbrother; The problem is my husband's boy. He has terrible table manners, is rude to everyone, and has no respect for anything I say. Many questions, few answers at tax hearing BY JOHN MINER People in Huron and Perth Counties .were invited to •give their suggestions regarding the proposals for Ontario property tax reform to a commission in Goderich August 4 but the few who did show up had more questions than answers. "We don't even know what the assessment will be for the municipality. How do we know what is gonig on?" Bill Elston, Reeve of Morris 'township asked the 10 member commission, "We're just in a sea of water trying to swim out." Mr. Elston said that there was so little definite information available on exactly what the province's tax reforms would mean that his township council was unable to present a brief. "If the people knew more what was going on, you would have this hall filled today," he said. Mr. Elston particularly focussed on the proposal that the province pay 100 percent of a farmer's land taxes. He sug- gested that a municipality by slightly raising its tax' rate could News from Huronview The residents' enjoyed an hour of .old tyme music, in the Normal Care 'sitting room on Monday afternoon provided by -Elsie Henderson and . Norman- •Speir. • Eighty residents travelling by cars provided by membersof the staff and volunteers attended the Clinton Drive -In Theatre on Family Night. Many thanks to Lorne Brown, Manager of the Theatre for the complimentary tickets and to those who provided cars. Ten residents attended the afternoon matinee of Anne of Green Gables at the Huron Country 'Playhouse, Grand Bend on Wednesday and all report a fine performance, bring in substantially more money from , the provincial government, because of the high assessment on farm land. "My goodness, we could have paved roads up and down every concession," he said. The Huron Federation' of Agriculture and the Township of North Easthope, however, were more concerned about the farmer losing control -of his land to the government. "If the province is to pay all of the taxes on farmland for an extended period of time is the next logical step Provincial ownershp of all farmland?" asks the North Easthope brief. Jack McCutcheon, Reeve of Brussels and Warden for Huron County, asked the commission why the taxes for the small businessman. would be raised. "We have been paying business tax for years and it looks like we will face another increase. How can this be justified? You' are talking of exempting farmland, but farmland is the farmer's business. How can you lessen his business taxes and' increase ours?" he said. Warden McCutcheon also attacked the proposal that would lower taxes paid by' the distilleries. "I think most of us are participating in their tax base anyway and I don't think other businesses should have to offset their decrease in taxes," he said. The :commission, which will cost about $460,000 according to its chairman, Willis Blair, was in Goderich,'Wednesday for a one day hearing as part of a series throughout Ontario to hear submissions on the Ontario government's proposed tax reforms Those who appeared at the hearing weren't the only ones to have strong feelings about the reforms, "I think it is the most terrible thing," said Elgin Thompson, Reeve of Tuckersmith Township. "It is just one more step to government ownership, I can't see how they can -do it." WHEN IN LUCIflVOW VISIT HAR AN'S.

Reeve Thompson said that 'he found the proposal for the province to pay 100 percent of the 'taxes on farmland most disturb- ing. "At the next meeting of the AMO 1 am going to see what support I can raise against the proposals" he said. Mayor Betty Cardno of Sea - forth wasn't pleased with the proposed tax reforms either. "I am concerned over the business taxes going up," she said. "1 don't like to see the small businessman having to pay more. I don't think it is fair." Mayor Cardno said that the proposal which would see all institutions pay taxes could help Seaforth, as the town pays the Fire Arca Board on the basis of the total assessment, The town has to pay extra because 'of the assessment on the schools, 'but can't collect any taxes from thenen. "I think that is rather unfair, she said. Mayor Cardno attended the meeting in Goderich although Seaforth did not present a brief to the Commission. "I don't think we had enough information," she said. "I think it would have been better if the Commission had made a present. ation on the tax reforms rather than just listening to the few submissions presented. He eats food all over the house, 1 find candy stuck to the floor, gum on the walls and under dinner plates. He tells my son, "I don't have to listen to what she says. She isn't 'my mother." I've tried every way I know to get along with this boy but all efforts have failed. My husband knows all this but he has a guilt complex for leaving •his wife and child and refuses to stand up for me, The worst part is the two weeks in the summer. My stepson could go, to work with his -dad if he wanted to but prefers to stay home with his stepbrother. This makes a wreck out of me. The boys get up very early and interferes with my rest. (My own son never did this. He was always quiet until 1 got up.) I've suggested to my husband that he spend a few days away with his son. He says he doesn't want to -- besides, his son prefers to be with my son. What's the solution to this problem? --Worried Plenty Dear W.P.: Get some counsel- ing and learn how to cope, lady, or you are going to have a second divorce.

By BILL SMILEY Every so often I'm reminded of how very lucky Canadians are. We are not smarter than other people. Goodness knows, we are no more industrious. We are just luckier, because we happen to be living in this country at this time. When you consider that we are just a drop in the bucket of the world's population, you can see just how blind lucky we are. Millions of people on earth today are literally starving to death. They will be dead, stone dead, in days, months, a year. . Millions more are just above the starving line. They eke out a barren, blunted, hopeless exis- tence, just one step away from the animal. These hordes are subject to all the other things that go with a minimal existence, besides hung- er: cold, disease, ignorance, fear and perhaps worst of all, helplessness. And we complain endlessly, we Canadians about such horrors as inflation, postal strikes, taxes, and all the other relatively piddling burdens we bear. ' We howl with outrage when butter jumps 15 cents a pound. Some of us nearly have a stroke when the price of beer and liquor is raised. The very wealthy feel a deep, inner pain because they can retain only 55 per cent of their income. But what does it all amount to? The consumption of butter will go down fora few weeks, then rise to new highs. The consumption of alcoholic beverages will not even tremor, but go steadily upward. And the rich will become richer. Province promotes tourism in U.S. An advertising blitz to stimulate more tourist traffic to and in Ontario during August and early' September is . being launched in five major U.S. and six domestic markets, Ontario Tourism Minister Claude Bennett announced today. Radio will be the primary medium for a concentrated, four-week advertising campaign, August 2 - 29, aimed at markets in Syracuse -Elmira, Rochester, Cleveland, Toledo and Pittsburgh in the U.S. and oronto, Ottawa, London, Kitchener, Hamilton and Kingston in Ontario, Objectives are to promote visitor traffic to Ontario along with events of specific tourist interest during the 'period, Mr. Bennett said. A survey of ministry field staff, travel association mnagers, commercial accommodation and tourist attraction operators 'reveals that tourism is down in most parts of the province compared to the same time last year, with northwestern Ontario the only large area showing improvement. With a total budget, of S125;000, the campaign will be directed to adults 18. 49 years of age with emphasis on the 25-49 group, and will consist of a 60 -second commercial 'message mix of product, price, events and attractons designed to promote impulse travel. An integral part of the message will be repetitive mention of fast access. to additional information via a telephone line. Canadians are really a Talk about fat cats, or buxon beavers, and we're it, The Lucky Canadians. The envy of the world. Oh, yes, we have poor people, quite a few of then. But you would be hard put to it to find anyone in Canada literally star- ving • to death, Or freezing to death. Or dying because ,there is no medicine for disease. Truth is, the vast majority of Canadians cat too much, suffer from over -heating rather than cold and are much more likely to die from too much nsedicine than they are from disease. And even the poorest of our poor, with all the buffers that welfare provides; are materially millionaires compared with the poor of many other countries. You, Mister, wheeling your Buick down the highway and beefing about the cost of gas, might just as easily be pulling a rickshaw in Calcutta, wondering whether you could last until you wcrc 30, so you could see your first grandson. And you, Ms,, whining about the mess the hairdresser made, or complaining about •the ,cost of cleaning women, could be selling yourself `in the back streets of Nairobi to keep body and soul together, if you'll pardon the expression, But you aren't, and I'm not, and we shouldn't forget it, mates, We were lucky, We live in Canada. Once in a while this hits me like a punch between the eyes. One of these times was on a recent holiday weekend. We were spending a weekend with Grandad, in the country. I spent one of those lazy, thorough- ly enjoyable times when there is nothing to do and nothing •to worry about: eating and drinking, playing cards, enjoying the fireplace, reading watching tele- vision, The only fly in the ointment was the constant' decisions to be' made. At breakfast, for example. Banana or fruit juice? Coffee or tea? Bacon and eggs or harm and Books at the Blyth PubI'ic. Library cAMARAC BY MARGARET HUTCHISON Tamarac was a pinpoint in the great forests of the Northwest when Janet Cameron and her sisters moved to the Canadian woods. Young people loved this isolated sawmill community, but life in the great ' forests of tamaracks was not all dreams, Margaret Hutchison evokes the beauty and emotions .of growing up in the Canadian woods with its cverchanging seasons and the wildlife found in the forest. WHEN EIGHT BELLS TOLL BY ALISTAIR MACLEAN Millions of pounds in gold bullion were being pirated in the Irish Sea. Investigations by the British Secret Service and a sixth sense brought Philip Calvert to lonely Torbay in the Western Highlands. What had happened to • the agents he had planted aboard the Nantesville? His search ends with two dead men. It has all the edge -of -the -chair suspense and dry humour one has come to expect from this writer. ^�,ever✓�"�.;-..,�.-'_,-.�..e���'.,��i-'..�.�s''._,-'_s=s�_,�.,-.,--_,�-..v`-� THE MYSTERY OF THE FiERY EYE A THREE INVESTIAGATORS MYSTERY In The Mystery of the Fiery Eye the three investigators tangle with a mysterious message. a strange legacy and a sinister gentleman from India and other assorted matters.
