Editorial Pg. 4 Church Pg. 7 Classified Pg. 14 Entertainment Pg. 15 Construction underway on$368,000 Blyth arena Tom Cronin of Blyth uses his backhoe to dig trenches for the footings for the new Blyth arena. The building, costing $368,000 is expected to be ready for the installlation of artificial ice in November with completion of the whole project by the end of November. -• Staff Photo. Attendance well up for 1976 Summer Festival Attendance at the Blyth Summer Festival averaged 213 persons for every performance of every play during the six week season, members of the Board of Directors of the theatre learned Thursday night. It meant that an average of 53 per cent of the seats in the 405 Memorial Hall theatre were filled for every show. The board also learned that the Festival had come out of the season in generally sound financial shape, It had earlier been thought the Blyth Centre for the Arts, the sponsoring body of the Festival might be faced with a sizeable deficit due mainly to; improvements to Memorial Hall made at its own expense: such things as new seats, new carpeting, insulation throughout the attic of the building, high power ventilation fans and a complete new wiring system in the upper part of the building. The improvements totalled more than $6,000, However, it was learned a further grant from the Richard Ivey Foundation of London plus the strong box-office receipts have almost wiped out the debt leaving the group in strong position to plan for next year. Festival Artistic Director James Roy was invited to return for the next season and agreed, He discussed various ideas with the directors as to what shows would be performed next year but stated that the policy of performing plays of special meaning to western Ontario would be continued. There was also discussions on the kind of winter program that will be planned for this winter, including variety entertainment, touring shows and music. The annual meeting of the Blyth Centre of the Arts was planned for November 19. Completion expected by end of November Construction began Friday on the new l3lyth and District Community Centre and Arena. • • The firm of Tri-Dign Construction of Guelph has begun laying footings for the new building. The company was awarded the contract for the $368,000 arena and auditorium at a meeting Thursday night. Work began ,the next morning on compacting fill around the site to ready it for construction. • The company has promised the shell of the \building will be completed in November to allowthe installation of ice for the winter season. It has scheduled completion of the building for the end of November. If the target date is met, it will be one of the fastest closure-to•rcopening• sequences in all of the communitieshit by the Ontario .Labour Ministry's safety campaign, The tough new regulations imposed by the Ministry have seen dozens of arenas closed already and perhaps hundreds to follow. The decision to close Blyth's old arena cants in June following the engineer's report that the old building was unsafe and virtually beyond repair. A public meeting was quickly held and the unanimous decision at the time was to demolish the old arena and start out to build a new one. A building committee and a fundraising committee were quickly formed and with the aid of Amish workmen, the old arena was levelled within four weeks of the closure decision. A salvage auction of materials from the old arena was held July 24 to raise money for the new building. Fundraising has gone amazingly well with the help of a few large donations from arca businesses and many many personal donations. The fund reached $75,000 mark last week and it was decided to go ahead with signing the contract. Fundraisers point out, however, that in many ways the hardest part is yet to come before the target _of $168,000 from local sources can be met. There will be no public funds used to build the new facility so full support is needed from the community to make it possible, The new building will be a big improvement over the old one not only through better facilities for those taking part in sports in the building, but also because of the inclusion of the auditorium. At present, most groups complain about the lack of a large enough hall for dances in Blyth, since Memorial Hall is too small to allow enough revenue for better known bands. Plans also call for a kitchen at the hall to allow banquets. Meeting held Thursday • to discuss area recreation A meeting will be held in Wingham on Thursday night involving north Huron municipalities to study the feasibility of area recreation sharing. Representatives of Blyth council will attend the meeting and indicated at last Monday night's council session they will look favourably at the idea, The Huron County development commit- tee have presented a proposal that will provide some incentive for communities to establish area recreation systems with their neighbours. The committee has recommended that county council provide an annual grant of up to $1,000, on a matching dollar basis, to each municipality that contributes to and participates in the development and continued operation of an area recreation system composed of a minimum of three municipalities. They note that with the acceptance of this proposal, county council will be limiting itself to a maximum annual commitment of $26,000 provided each of the 26 municipalities agrees to cooperate in the development of an area system. "The onus is clearly on the municipali- ties to take the initiative and they must also be prepared to invest at least an equal amount of money to the 'area pot' in order to acquire this new county grant," their report stated. The committee' is planning three information meetings to discuss the proposal with Huron municipalities. Blyth councillors have expressed the hope that the townships of Hullett, East Wawanosh and Morris will enter into such an agreement with the village, The townships might enter a similar agreement with other municipalities such as Brussels, Clinton and Wingham, it was pointed out. Flower show big success A very successful Horticultural Flower Show was held in Blyth Memorial Hall, August 18. There was 217 entries from 25 exhibitors. Two door prizes went to Mrs. Davison of Londesboro and Vera McVittie of Blyth. Shirley Shobbrook won the silver tray for highest points as well as the prize for the best overall arrangement depicting the olympics. The tray was donated by Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Mrs. Chas. Johnston, Mrs. Gayle King and Mr, Bram Eedenburg tied for second highest points, receiving $10. each. Several crafts from local residents were displayed which added to the show. Mrs. Gore, Mrs. Straker and Mrs, Wilson served a dainty tea. There was a good attendance, PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 2S, 1976. 'Tis Show Biz Norman De Poe honoured with 'Alex Award BY VONNI LEE One of the most frequently seen newsmen on the CBC network has been honored by his peers, Norman DePoe received the annual Alex Award for his contribution to communications in Canada. Tv,o journalists, Bruce Hutchinson of the Vancouver Sun and Roger Lemclin of Montreal's La Presse also received Alex Awards. Mr, DePoe is one of the pioneers of broadcasting televi- sion and radio news. He is the former parliamentary correspon- dent for the CBC and is familiar to audiences for on -the -spot report- ing. ***** Speaking of communications, the RCA Corporation has made a remarkable discovery concerning communications media ' in the home. Researchers have learned that television sets now outnumber telephones in the homes through- out the world. There arc 364 million television sets in the world compared to 360 .million tele- phones. Even in Russia the boob tube is considered more impor- tant than Mr. Bell's invention, a whopping 50 million to 15 million. In America, where people have a little more opportunitity to find different brands of entertain- ment, the television sets is outnumbered by 144 million to 120 million. It's alp: ays nice to know. v.hat the people of the v;orld are spending their time doing, Nov: if there were only something worth watching on the tube, those figures might be justified! ***** To be forewarned is to be forearmed and I ant telling you well in advance of a production well worth seeing and one you should plan to catch. It is to be shown on the CBC network on Friday, September 3, at 9 and is the Oscar -winning film, "Hearts and Minds", The filhl is the story of American involvement in the Viet Nam war and it won the 1975 Oscar as best feature document- ary 11101. The controversial and often shocking producriion is based on more than 200 hours of original filmed material and 20 hours of stock footage. It tries to shop: some of the cultural and political forces that contributed to America's involvement in the �.ar. Inlerviel:s with many military and political figures will be shown as well as excerpts from televised statements of Presi- dents Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon. The film's director,, Peter Davis, says the 1.ork is "neither pro nor anti-American but just an attempt to understand what we have done and what we have become." Summing up the reasons why you may want t' catch it, Knowlton Nash, director of CI3C-TV News and Current Affairs, says, "The fighting, the politics, the diplomacy, the arguments, turned the United States upside clown, scarred a generation of Americans, de- stroyed a president and produced an avalanche of emotion. Much of that emotion is reflected in "Hearts and Minds", a vivid anti-‘.ar documentary and a cinematographic masterpiece," This masterpiece of work will pre-empt "The Sunshine Hour" for (his one occasion and is well worth the sacrifice you may make to watch it. 'Clover' benefit makes $700 'I'hc benefit performance of Mostly in Clover, the hit show of the 1976 Blyth Summer Festival raised nearly $700 for the new BIyth and district community centre and arena. The performance was before a near capacity audience with about 30 scats not filled, mostly because people had reserved them but did not pick them up. It was the last performance of the show in Blyth The show and cast are on tour this week to Kincardine (where they played to another near•capacity house, Sunday) and Petrolia.

Marian was one of 200 young people participating in the junior agriculturalist program sponsor- ed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food across Ontario and spent the summer working on the farm of Siebolt Sicrtscma, RR 1, Auburn. The program was instituted by the Ministry on an experimental basis four years ago and was designed to give young people from the city a chance to. experience farm life. AUBURN NEWS "iire.a Pilar Ml6 1 11 AN( M IiRAI)Ncx K Applicants m u's! be I6 and 17 years of age v..ith no previous farm experience but naturally must maintain an interest in experiencing farm life. The program runs for nine weeks from June 21 to August 20 and the cost is shared by the Ministry and the participating farmer, The Mini- stry pays each participant $6 per day and the farmer $5 per clay along with room and hoard. There arc approximately 37 young people participating in the program in the Huron, Perth, Bruce arca and 50 percent of tha figure involves girls. Chuck Jacobs of the Ministry explained that many farmers arc apprehen- sive about employing girls for farm work but find that their efforts arc more than adequate to survive farm life. Prior to their farm placement the junior agriculturalists arc given a thvo•day orientation program at Centralia College. .Jacobs said the students are briefed on farm safety and the program stresses the worst conditions to eliminate the clement of surprise. For Marian it has been a summer of learning, working and experiencing all that farm life has to offer. Mr. Sicrtscma spoke Auburn news briefs Mr. and Mrs. Jim Latimer and sons, Teddy and Craig of Calgary, Alberta and Miss Carolyn Clark of Goderich visited last week with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Johnston and Miss Laura Phillips. Mr. and Mrs. Allan McDougall and Angie and Miss Debbie Wills of Sudbury returned last week after vacationing with his parents Mr. and Mrs, Kenneth , McDougall. About 70 attended the reunion of members of the Huron County Women's Institute who attended the National Women's Institute convention held at Charlottetown, P.E.I. in June and their friends and husbands held last Sunday tours that they had arranged.

Marian began v.•ork on the Sicrtscma farm June 21 and recalled the frist ay. kv.ard morn- ing as she approached the barn wearing her new. overalls and rubber bouts. "The first morning I v.as here v.as really different and I mostly v.atchcd," she said. "I kept asking a lot of questions those first fcv. y.ceks that scent kind of silly now." Marian applied to the junior agriculturalist program to quench her thirst for country living and an interest in farming. It also provided an excellent retreat from city living. Her schedule has understand- ably changed drastically and 'the day begins around 6:30 a.m. when the cows are led into the barn, fed and milked. Following breakfast Marian scrubs and sanitizes the pails and hoses used in the milking operation and cleans the cooler. The af'ternoon's activities have varied between haying, repairing fences, cleaning the barns and cutting weeds. The farmer's summer working days are long and usually end with the settling sun. Marian adjusted to the long working days and different life style and noir stubbornly takes. pride in the fact that her parents thought she would only last two weeks. She works six days of the week or 12 out of 14 and is free to take. two or three days of her days off at a time. Her family and social. life styles have been altered but' she perceived no real difference; between country and city people. "1 could not find much difference between the country and city people; basically they are both friendly," she said. "There are probably girls living on farms that won't go near the barn." Marian enjoyed the opportunity offered through the Junior Agriculturalist Program claiming the experience was certainly worthwhile. "1 think the program is a good idea and it has been a worthwhile summer for me but I would only do it once." piNIAAANIARMANUINIAM Learn to swlm safely the Red Cross way this winter.

Give fund a boost The fact that Blyth will have a new arena in time for this winter's hockey season is astounding, It's particularly ironical that the new arena is likely to be built before the senior citizens apartments which have been on the go for three years, It again shows how much better local people can do something themselves. The work of the committee in charge of building the new arena must be praised. These persons .have worked hard and long and made it possible to not only have a new arena, but have it so soon. But there is much still to be done, While the arena is started, there is still a lot of money needed to pay for it, it means that many prrople who have not yet given need to come up with their donation. Those who have donated, should perhaps look again and see if they can afford a little more. Every cent counts.:The whole Blyth Community must share the load, whether old or young, urban or rural. We're getting there, but let's get there faster. Consumers spoiled Somehow somewhere along the way, our, adoption of that part of .the American Declaration of Independence that says all individuals are entitled to the right of the pursuit of happiness has gotten a little out of whack. Today the Canadian consumer stems to think that means that he has the right to everything his little old heart desires no matter what the consequences. It has led to a severe outbreak of myopia (short-sightedness) which threatens the long-term happiness of the entire nation. We've seen it so often in the food industry where consumers would rather have food today at a ridiculously low price even if it means farmers go broke producing it. It means, of course that with fewer farmers to produce food there are bound to be shortages and higher prices in the long -run, but our consumers, led by the urban press, fail to see that far.'. Likewise many Canadian industries have been wiped out because Canadians would rather take advantage of cheap foreign imports now even if it means we lose Canadian industries like the textile industry. What Canadians refuse to see, however, is that without the Canadian industry to provide competition, the foreign imports may soar in price and we end up paying more in the long run. The same economic arguments can't be used in the current fuss in many cities such as London over the deletion of American channels from the primary band on cable television systems but the consumer is using the same childish, short-sighted approach. There has been so much misinformed public reaction over the cable operation and enforces a Canada first policy has been blamed for just about every thing that's wrong with cable operation. In many cases it has served as a handy sheild for cable companies to hide behind whenever anything goes wrong. But the thing that brings the most flack is that when a new Canadian channel becomes available, such as the Ontario educational channel or the C.B.C. French channel, a U.S. based channel must be bumped from the primary system. These U.S, channels are usually available still on a secondary system which requires a converter to allow twice as many channels to be received on any set. So the C.R.T.C. is not banning U.S. stations, simply relegating them to secondary importance. Secondly, even on the primary band there are about 10 channels available. Only one channel can be watched at the same time so even those who refuse to watch the French channel (and it's that one that causes the most flack), still have a choice from about 9 other channels. Thirdly, in most cases the U.S, stations that have been bumped were duplications of other stations on the same network anyway. In the old days, with perhaps two American C.B.S. stations and the Canadian channels available, there would be the choice of watching Mary Tyler Moore on three channels at the same time. Now isn't that something to get excited about? The C.R.T.C. is under constant fire for its Canada first policy and. for its quota systems on Canadian television and A.M. radio stations. Childish consumers want American in everything. They claim Canadian material just can't stand up to American. In many cases they are all too right. We've seen a lot of garbage on Canadian television. But we've also seen a lot of garbage on U.S. television. The point is, that just as we need to protect Canadian farmers from cheap imports; just as we have to keep a Cnaadian textile industry by controlling imports; just as we limit immigration to keep jobs for Canadians instead of 'allowing hungry immigrants seek jobs of Canadians at lower wages; so we need to protect what broadcasting industry we have from dumping of low cost U.S. shows. Certainly our programming could be better, We should continue to press Canadian broadcasters to come up with better programs and programs aimed at the mass audience, not just the elite few. But we cannot afford to, continue to drive talented Canadian writers, directors and actors to the U.S. as we have done in the past. We need an entertainment industry here to tell us about ourselves. The success of ventures like the Blyth Summer Festival show that we are hungry to see things on stage or on television or at the movies that are good and tell us more about ourselves. We can only do that by protecting what we've got. It is such a horrible loss to give up a couple of duplicate American channels to do this while you still have several left? If it is, God help Canada. We are so short sighted that we'll sell out our future for a few entertainment trinkets today. Lonely little petunia How could we be happy if we weren't miserable? BY KEiTH ROULSTON People just wouldn't be happy if they couldn't be miserable. I mean everybody blames the newspapers for all the time spreading gloom and doom, but what would happen to us if they didn't? The newspapers are a business and they generally give people what sells newspapers. That has been proven over and over again that people buy newspapers to get bad news. We seem to need it just as we need food and drink. Just take a look at the situation in the world now. For the first time in what seems,like centuries, there isn't one bonafide war going on for the newspapers to report. Oh, there's still vicious civil wars going on in Lebanon and Ireland and hundreds of people being killed in both places, but in the old days, when we had really big wars between countries, we'd hardly have paid any attention to the poor suckers. being slaughtered by their own countrymen. Besides, people are geting tired of the boredom of war. They 'want to hear about people dying new ways. They want some interesting twists in their daily portion of misery. ' As a result, this summer, we've been hearing about some new tragedies. Of course we've had the earthquakes. First of all there was the one last year in Guatemala hich killed several thousand' eople.. Then there was the one in China more recently. It isn't really very satisfactory from a doom and gloom point of view, of course, because in China we can't send thousands of netvsmen in to bring out all the gory details. The Chinese will just have to suffer in silence, without the technicolour reports on The National. Then there's that volcanoe down in Guadaloupe that keeps threatening to explode "with the power of several atomic bombs." This, if it ever goes, will be a very satisfactory gloom story since it's given the media plenty of chance to get there and get all set up. Usually these catastrophe's just aren't too thoughtful. They just happen without warning and the media is Left to rush to the scene and simply cover the tragic 'consequences. But all of these things are a nice safe distance from home and so they don't really have much impact on us. What was needed was some gloom right here, the kind of thing that would grip people with fear and put a little spice into a dull summer. So we had the diseases. There was of course the Legionaires disease, that was branded a mysterious killer and got almost as much play=by-play, commentary as the' Olympics. Canadian newsmen, as is their habit, did their best to make this U.S. news story a Canadian one as they kept trying to find. Canadians who had been to Philadelphia who might be suffering the dreaded disease. Then we had our very own epidemic thrcaj to stew over right here in Canada when a woman was thought to be suffering from the deadly exotic Lassa fever. She wasn't of course, but they managed to close a hospital to public visiting and scare a few hundred little old ladies half to death before they found out differently Then there was good old swine flu. Other diseases may come and go but swine flu has been good headline material now for months. Everybody who dies of something other than plain old age is a swine flu victim until proven otherwise. So for a few days people in Huron county panicked after health officials spread the word that a local man might have .suffered swine flu. And as if that wasn't enough, there's the constant reminder on the radio and television that the next mosquoto that bites you might be your last, because it might have enscephalitis, or sleeping sickness that has killed a • few people in the last couple of years. I wonder, when the Ministry of health is closing hospitals in an attempt to save money, how much our medical Insurance claims have gone up this year because of • anxious people . worrying they have this or that disease., , Oh well, I guess it keeps' yotiu mind off things like the general kstrike. . THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 25, 1976. PG. 5. Split between rural and urban Canadians widens At a time when isolation from urban influences is practically non-existent in rural areas thanks to modern communications, there k ;r surprising and growing gap of misunderstanding between rural and urban areas. Writing in Farm and Country magazine recently, editor John Phillips examined the problem, BY JOHN PHILLIPS When Eaton's quit the catalogue order business early this year, a 100 -year rural Ontario tradition %.as snuffed out. Did the catalogue's demise denote something' much deeper than a changed marketing' concept? Was the event symbolic of a grrn.ing separation between city and rural people? ironically, at a time when paved highways and electronic communications arc supposed to bring communi- ties together; the distance seems to be growing apace. Rural rail transportation has become costly, small hospitals are closing, CBC brass is bent on destroyirl'g farm programming, more than 500 community arenas -- the centre of rural life •• have become safety hazards by bureaucratic decree, aid rural voices in the corridors of power are muted. This phenomenon is not con- fined to rural Ontario. Certainly it can be found in other provinces, in France, Britain. and to a much lesser extent in the United States. Basically, in all areas, the cause can be traced to the cult of bigness. Quite literally, a majority rules regardless of the consequences to the minority. While this is the antithesis of democracy found in the ancient Greek states, none- theless the technique is rational- ized by politicians and their host of advisors, "If it's cheap food at any price (to stay in power), then it's cheap food at any price," says Delbert O'Brien, a Pembroke lawyer and a partner in Laurentia Valley Farms, the family's 100 -cow dairy operation. Born and raised on this Ottawa Valley fluid milk enterprise, 'O'Brien was put through Osgoode Hall by his brother, George. Following graduation he used part of his professional income to expand the home farm. Thus, he has an understanding of both rural and urban milieus. He holds the view that all of rural Canada has been placed in the role of blood donor to the industrial regions. However, the flow is in only one direction and the life provider nears exhaustion. • This is no new development. O'Brien notes that over the past years trust companies and banks have taken money from the countryside for 'city investment, There has been little reciproca- tion. ''We've reached the point," he asserts, "where local businessmen (in small towns) can't get sizeable loans for expansion." Federal and provincial gov- ernment programs have been cast from the same matrix. With an expansive wave of his hands, he outlines their spending patterns. interurban transportaion now has priority, with governments paying 75 percent of all capital costs and 50 percent of the operating costs. "Is this fair?" he' asks. When it comes to transporting goods, it is cheaper to rail raw products 'from Sudbury to Mon- treal, a distance of 400 miles, than the 160 miles from Pem- broke to Montreal, "And to carry passengers between Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa, Air Canada operates at a 30 percent loss factor—That's a great big subsidy," he stresses. On the other hand, the privately owned regional airline, PemAir, which operates from the cathedral town of Pembroke, gets no government assistance. O'Brien is a director of this company, and he explains it is a "fundamental form of transporta- tion for the entire arca." PemAir's vintage DC -3s oper- atefrom a concrete and gravel strip. Shortage of money pre- vents improvements, but local passengers pay $100,000 a year in airport tax, "Where do you think this money goes?" he asks wryly. "I'LL 1'ELL YOU; they're build- ing bigger and bigger rune; ays for 747 Jumbos at city airports". , From air travel, he swings to energy. Again. as far as he is concerned, this is a rip-off at rural Ontario's expense. Apart from the great power corridors that thrust inexorably across farmland to a handful of sprawling urban centres, there is the source of all this energy. Statistics Clow v.ith the ease of an electronic calculator. Five dams were built along the Ottay.a Valley alone; the resulting power goes to Toronto, among other centres. Transmission adds 20 percent to the bill, but Renl•rew country farmers pay the same price as city dwellers. Another hidden subsidy, snaps O'Brien. "Is it fair?" O'Brien cannot be dismissed lightly. At 38 he is a successful lawyer, often brilliant in the courtroom. Highly articulate, he is a vice-president of the national Conservative party and yearns to sec its policy -makers, federal and provincial, draw fresh strength from their party's rural fount. He nods sadly at the preoccu- pation with titillating urban senses. To him cororate and city interests have come into conjunc- tion. Each is dependent on the other; each is unthinking and selfish. Seducing the urban electorate with a brassy imitation of Trudeau's Just Society leaves him nauseated. "You always know who pays ttie btu," he says, nes grey eyes glinting behind smoke -tinted glasses, O'Brien cannot be stereotyped, He does not fall into the woodsy-outdorsy category which 8 Huron projects get W intario money Grants totalling $12,118 have been approved for eight projects in Huron County from the proceeds of the Ontario Lottery. Amounts range from $4,500 to $36. The Walton Arca Sports Club is eligible for a grant of $4,500 for renovations to its athletic field. The Township of Stanley is eligible for a grant of $2,800 to install floodlights, fencing and bleachers for its ball diamond. 'l'he Wroxeter Community Parks Board is eligible for a grant of $2,000 to construct a pavillion containing picnic and shuffle- board facilities,' The Stanley Township Recrea- tion, Parks and Community Centre Board and the Wingham Minor Baseball Association will •receive grants of $812 and $712 respectively to buy softball and baseball equipment. A $484 grant to the Goderich Minor Soccer Association will be used to buy uniforms, trophies and equipment. The Bayfield Yacht Club will use a 5450 grant to help pay the cost of a radio receiver and transmitter. The Belmorc Minor Softball Association in Wroxeter v.ill use a $360 grant to buy softball equipment, • Culture and Recreation Minister Robert Welch said today's grants arc part of the ongoing Share Wintario pro- gramme for the support of cultural and recreational activities. To date, the ministry has allocated $49.5 million to more than 2900 groups and projects across the province. in a Pair of D s or Cords by LEVI izes 8 to 18 & 26 to 38 Some Styles In Pre Wash e ' : e overalls by Carhartt Pre Washed Size up also G.W.G.

Both are interdependent, which implies equity. And that certainly does not exist now. He places much of.the blame on politicians and a bloated bureau- cracy and several generations removed from the land. They have no concept of rural life, otherwise how could urban centres treat farms and small towns as an inexhaustible milk cow? 'How could 150,000 rural hockey players and hundreds of small communities be deprived of their arenas? How could isolated rural hospitals be closed in the name of efficiency? O'Brien simmers with wrath, "I feel guilty when young farmers come to my office to complete legal arrangements for $150,000 loans. Hoar can they handle an $1,200 debt a month plus all the other payments?. It's a new form of serfdom...a spin-off from the old industrial -colonial system which the OPEC oil states ended when they set prices." He says the loans are repaid religiously only because farm children are providing free or cheap labor, "In May, some of our local primary schools are half -empty because students are discing and planting...Just to give city folk cheaper milk and cheese." "What would happen if urban children were kept at home to provide free Tabor on construc- tion sites and in factories? You would hear every do-gooder howl from one end of Canada to the other. But farm children are tucked away out of sight; no consciences are bothered. "Is it fair?" he asks. M'''''''' st 41:0.

Not so, please. If you have read %.'ith care my ferocious attacks on the Games, you'll have noticed that I wasn't knocking them, or the athletes. 1 am as red-blooded a Canadian .as the next guy, and 1 groaned when the Canadians came last in the boat race, and 1 cheered when a Canadian scrambled to a second or third of fourth. And I almost wept when one of our beautiful little gymnasts tottered and fell off the bar. What I was smiting was the chauvinism, the hunger for power, the utter immorality that lay behind the acquisition of the Games by Montreal. Montreal needed those Games about as much as I need an amputation of my right leg. And the results will be somewhat the same. The city will be crippled for half a century because it wanted to hold a two-week party for the whole world. Chauvinism. Hunger for power? Maybe that's the wrong phrase. More like a hunger for the limelight, or a yearning for some sort of immortality (maybe, lasting 30 years?) on the part of the Use fresh fruit for salad Take a selection of seasonal fresh Ontario fruits.

Olympics were great, but the bill isn't arch -promoter, M. Drapeau. During the Games, many critics softened up quite a . bit on Drapeau.

Even hard-boiled reporters were suggesti g we'd been a bit rough on Drapeau, that after all, he had had the vision, the tenacity, to pursue his dream, and that we were all cashing in on it.

That's like saying that Napoleon, who bled France dry, physically and financially, was, after all, not a bad little chap, that he meant well, that he didn't really mean to lose half a million men in the retreat from Moscow, that his ' wife, Josephine, didn't under- stand him, and that his family v.'as greedy. Nuts. He did it for La Gloire. And so did Drapeau. The major difference between them is that Napoleon had to face only the English, the Prussians, the Poles and the Russians, Drapeau had to face the trade unions. Beaucoup formidable! Well, let's get back to the Games themselves, before I turn puce, which is what I do every time I think of 72,000 people cheering athletes while the raw sewage flows out of Montreal into the St. Lawrence. All hail to the athletes! We may be greedy when it comes to making a buck • as witness the federal government's knee-jerk to China, with visions of big wheat sales dancing in its puny head. But when it comes to winning Olympic medals, Canadians are certainly among the least greedy nations in the world, We arc so hospitable about letting other countries grab the medals that it is almost embarrassing, And that's the way it should be.

The Minister's Study BY TED HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Every person seeks respect as a person; to be denied this respect is to be treated as Tess than a person. Whom do you respect, the one who says: "1 am a Christian," and lives accordingly, or one who says: "1 am a Christian," and deceives you? You respect the first one of course, for the second one is a hypocrite. 1 think there is hardly a name that invites greater disgust than to be called a hypocrite. A hypocrite makes it look like he is a Christian in the attempt to deceive other people. As far as the Christian faith and life is concerned, a hypocrite never makes a mistake, but always consciously rejects the Gospel of Jesus Christ,. while appearing to be a Christian. So a hypocrite is one who has disrespect not only for people but also for God. The question to ask yourself is this: What do 1 recognize as the truth, God's Word or something else? If you say, "1 love God's Word and with that 1 will live and die", then you have not made a mistake, and you will not be disappointed in the end. For then you have rejected the lie and grasped the truth. Then you may say: "1 know what the true faith is; it is to know and accept God as he reveals himself in his Word." Christianity is to believe and live with the knowledge that God's Word is truth. This means to stay with the foundational elements of the Christian faith. repentance from dead works, faith toward God, the hope for the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. But there is more also. It is not good enough to stay only with the basics of true faith. To ignore or forget the rest, the deeper things of God's Word indicates spiritual laziness, which always brings recession. One who has Christian faith may never forget the basics, but ought to grow, move on, to come further until all of life is subjected to the truth. Only when faith grows in understanding of God's Word docs it stay on the right way. To avoid hypocrisy, faith must grow, and always absorb something new from God's Word. , a 3' J' 1.k.IT_ _ tu_�VAA2,— PKA _ _ XAMu..uu..uu_s4104.11.1...uM!X.0 HIS SUNDAY 8 P.M. ugust A Special Speak Dr. Charles . denspinner President of EMMANUA BIBLE CO EGE President of EVANG IC FELLOWSHIP 0 ANADA Special M sic T e CHAPELITES RON MEN'S CHAPEL Auburn Everyone Welcome THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 25, 1976.

For a Rodeo that .as supposed to be dead and buried last fall, this year's Rodeo has all the earmarks of being a huge success.

To overcome this problem, devices such as trap nets are used by researchers. A trap net is composed of a box -like "crib" with a funnel - shaped entrance attached to it. They arc generally made of wire cage sections sewn together with plastic line. The top framework of the crib is constructed of cedar for buoyancy, while the bottom is of steel for weight. The crib will then be stretched open at all Squirts plan bottle drive Blyth squirts in the first game of Tri -County playoff& had a win over Winthrop of 29 - 1, Several homes runs were batted in by Pat Cronin, Todd MacDonald, Darryl Chalmers, Blaine Coultcs and Larry Good.

Anyone wishing to leave bottles before this may leave them at Lloyd Machan's or Carman MacDonald's. How to choose Ontario peaches According to the Ontario Food Council, judge the ripeness of an Ontario peach by the background color. Look for a creamy yellow tinge behind the blush and at the stem end. Choose peaches that are well-rounded and show no signs of bruising or splitting. Avoid peaches that have a green coloring in the background - this usually indicates that the peaches were immature when harvested and will probably never mature. Instead, choose those which are firm -ripe but not hard. Once you get the peaches home, sort them carefully. Keep underripe peaches uncovered at room temperature, but not in direct sunlight. Refrigerate fully ripe peaches uncovered. , Use within three to five days. times. The ‘.ings are extended from the crib, at 45 degree angles, to form the funnel entrance for added area. coverage. A "lead" fence projects away from the entrance. The size of the trap net may vary depending on its location. When fully constructed, the trap takes oh the appearance of an arrow; pointing to the shore. The Icad is the shaft, and the wings converge to the point of the arrow;, the crib. As a rule, the nets are usually located at (east four feet under the water's surface and no deeper than double the height of the net. When the trap net is in position, the extended lead blocks the path of fish that arc moving from shallow; to deeper water. The fish, in an attempt to swim around the lead, follow the lead to the crib v;here they are trapped. The "hearts" of the trap, ‘. hich arc sections of the wings closest to the crib, are designed so that fish will be turned back into the crib should they attempt to swim in the direction of an exit. Trap nets are usually located off short in lake waters, with the lead projecting perpendicular from the shore. They are extensively used at the southern end of Lake Huron where wave conditions are more predictabIc\ than the Lake Huron shores of the Maitland Valley watershed. . With healthy catches, researchers are able to study migratory patterns and growth rates of fish populations. They are also able to check the success of fish stocking , operations and collect eggs from spawning fish for hatchery incubation. All of this is accomplished without the fear of disturbing their "subjects" in the process.

Ushers were Brenda Millar, Ruthann Penfound, Susan Jamieson and Debbie Wester - how, Soloist was Anne Marie County gears for vaccination program BY DAVE SYKES Plans are in the working stage to dispense approximately 30,000 doses of flu vaccine in Huron County over the next three months as part of the Provincial $9 million anti -influenza pro- gram. Huron County Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Frank Mills, said that the first batch of vaccine should be available here by the end of September. Dr, Mills explained that it was still undetermined how many doses were in a batch and when the batches would be made available to the unit. The vaccine is purchased in Europe and processed by Con- naught Laboratories in Toronto. They are conducting field trials to prove the effectiveness of the vaccine and further purity studies and bottling processes leave many health units unsure of delivery time. The bivalent vaccine, used against both a New Jersey and Victoria type flu virus, will be given to all persons over the age of 65 as well as all other persons suffering from chronic illness. Dr. Mills explained that first on the vaccine priority list will be pregnant women, persons over 65 and the chronically 111. Following that the province will have compiled a list of essential workers to receive the vaccine prior to the immunization of the bulk of the public between the ages of 20 and 50. However the province has yet to produce a list of essential workers. The monovalent vaccine against the New Jersey type virus will be administered to persons between the ages of 20 and 50, the group which is supposedly most susceptible to the virus. The Province has made no plans to vaccinate people under 20 and between the ages of 50 and 65. These guidelines were drawn from the 1918 epidemic that struck the continent in vrhich there was an extremely lour mortality rate among children, Subsequent to that it is believed that young people will not require a vaccination and it was theorized that persons between 50 and 65 were exposed to a similar types of virus in the 1920's and will have protection against it. Since the vaccine will he doled out in batches to the units Dr. Milts said that the chronically ill and pregnant '.omen will be treated first. Doctors would be required to supply a list of chronically ill patients and as the vaccine becomes available, mass clinics will be conducted through- out the County. The clinics would be conducted in the main centres of the County and Dr. Mills expected they v.ould be complet- ed by the end of November. The antibody buildup of the vaccine will likely take five to six weeks which should provide ample time before the flu season reaches its prime. "The flu season generally reaches an upswing through January, February and March," Dr. Mills said. "Under normal circumstances this should provide ample time for immunization and antibody buildup," using a special jet injector Dr. Mills estimated that it was feasible to vaccinate about 200 persons an. hour. There is the potential to handle more but recipients will be required to sign consent forms and accept the risks of the vaccine. Dr. Mills claimed that there was limited reaction to the needle in control group tests and the reaction was localized. Dr. Mills has contacted doctors FESTIVA 45" Cord' $3.79 yd. 60" Interlot s-$9-$6.99yd. Wool Ble ds - $6.9' $7�.49.yd.- Co on/Poly Bien,s- ' $2.89 - $3.99 yd. Ibex : ank'ets, fitted warms ' -ets now in stock in the County for their support in the vaccation program and is confident that the help will be available. Both doctors and nurses will be enlisted for the program and once mass vaccina- tion begins, several volunteers will be needed for the clinics to help with paper work and assist in guiding people. The provincial figures for the county indicate there arc 19,085 people between the ages of 20.49 and 6,746, people over 65. The vaccination service will be pro- vided in nursing honks and hospitals by the health unit staff. Dr. Mills claimed he has not ,received any inquiries about the vaccination and attributes it to an over confident attitude towards health. "Many people take their health for granted and may not take advantage of the vaccination program," Dr. Mills said. "There is a chance that the virus may never appear in Canada but we kriov. , there is chance of it appearing and time to do something about it.
