V,' a. *..) !'t1 t ai <1, + t jte .Inside Editorial Pg. 4 Church Pg. 7 Classified Pg, 14 Entertainment Pg. 1; Freak wind storm hits Blyth hard A freak windstorm hit Blyth Thursday night during a violent thunder storm, knocking down trees and damaging buildings. The twister seemed to sweep on a path through the middle of Blyth and out to the cast doing little damage to the north or the south of the village. It left in its vrakc twisted and fallen trees and a carpet of fallen leaves everywhere. About two dozen trees were heavily damaged but luckily there was very little property damage, let alone injuries. The closest to a dangerous situation in the village seemed to be at the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Herb Shannon at the eastern edge of the village. There several large branches of a big maple tree were torn off, .j';o of them landing on the roof of the Shannon house but doing little damage. No one was home at the time. Another maple was felled partly on Westmoreland Street near Bainton's mill but no damage resulted. At the home of Bruce Mason, a huge willow tree was practically stripped of branches, leaving the Mason yard knee deep in willow bows. But probably the strangest occurrence, and the one most indicative of the strength of the storm took place a couple of miles east of the village on the farm of Murray Siertsema. There a large driving shed, a pole structure with poles planted about four feet in the earth, was picked up by the wind and deposited upside down, 250 feet away from its original site. The building was full of farm equipment but none of it was damaged. Even a tarpaulin in the shed was left in place. Only the building moved, There appt'ared to be relatively little damage to the building despite its trip. Firemen save barn threatened Iby spontaneous combustion 44 A huge willow tree at the home of Bruce Mason on Coombs Street was one of the victims of Thursday night's freak wind storm that hit Blyth but missed other areas of the county. Here the cleanup work begins of the branches stripped from the tree. -• staff photo. Quick action and the use of modern equipment helped Blyth Fire Department save a barn on the farm of Gordon Carter, RR 3, Blyth on 'Tuesday morning. The lire call was turned in about 8 a.m. v.hen the Carter family noticed smoke coming from the barn. Spontaneous combustion had ignited the hay crop stored in the barn. Firemen, with the aid of air masks and tanks, were able to enter the smoke•filled building and pinpoint the hot spots in the hay mow'. Moving hoses into position they were able to cool the fire out and bring it under control. All this took only a few minutes, but then hours of work followed. The contents of the mow had to be taken out of the building to dry and to allow firemen to make sure they had dowsed all the hot spots. The fire department's portable saw was used to cut a large hole in one end of the barn and neighbours with tractors and front end loaders pitched into help get the hay out. Even these proved too slow however and a large construction loader was called to help. Meanwhile the tankers of the Blyth and Wingham fire departments kept an abundant supply of water on hand for the firemen. The mopping up operation kept firemen at the scene until midafternoon. Shortly after 8 p.m. they were again called but after dashing to the corner of highway 4 and 8th Line of Morris they were notified by radio and the fire, wherever it had been, had been extinguished and they were not needed. Monday a holiday Monday is Labour Day and it means a day we can't labour here at The Standard. It thus means hectic times come Tuesday trying to make up for lost time. On top of that, it's the special Thresher Reunion edition time meaning a lot of extra work. To help us out as much as possible, we ask that you bring in all news and advertising you can on Thursday and Friday of this week. Thanks for your help and have a good holiday.

This 'n' That Blyth setting example with arena 'project progress It's been a while since This arena in November, Mrs. Keller Petrolia where they were 'n'That appeared in the P Standard. Don't know hob it suggested that Goderich could performing for a week to wind up their tour. As usual, they were packing them in with their performances of Mostly in Clover setting new box-office records for the Petrolia season every night. Petrolia hosted four different theatre groups for a week each during the summer and the Blyth troupe far outdrew the others. ***** Of prime interest to us, however, was the Victoria Play- house, lay house, the old opera house built in the last century that the community down there has been putting back into operation in the past three years, It's a huge building, and very ornate, compared to the relative simplic- ity of Memorial Hall. While there have been about $75,000 in improvements to Memorial Hall (at a cost of about $11,000 to Blyth taxpayers) in the past tive years, the bill down there has totalled $450,000 happened really. Probably there just wasn't time or news for the column one week and that started the trend and first thing y,ou know the column was forgotten. But now, for better or worse, we're starting it again at least until the next time we run out of something to say. ***** Blyth's success in moving quickly toward a new community centre to replace the old arena has not gone unnoticed. Goderich Signal -Star editor Shirley Keller, last week gave her community a tongue lashing for its perform- ance in raising funds for a new roof for the arena there. Though Goderich has been at it for longer than Blyth and the community is nearly 10 times the size, the fund totalled only about $75,000 last %reek, about $5,000 to $10,000 less than Blyth. The building is unlikely to be ready tor use this year while Blyth should have its learn something, Other communities too are a long way behind Blyth in fundraising. Seaforth has raised only $41,000 for improvements to Its building although it. started working on fundraising months ago. Fundraising is sagging so badly that there is some worry that the matching funds needed for the large Wintario grant won't be raised, Up in Wingham, we see by the thermometer on the front of the Advance -Times, the fundraising has reached $15,000 so far, It shows again what a strong community spirit there is in Blyth area and how much the commit- tees in charge should be congratulated. It makes one proud to live in the community. ***** Speaking of the arena and such, supporters will get a chance to really shoe; hour much sweat they'll give for the cause on Se tember 18 at 8:30 a.m. when a bikeathon is scheduled. The marathon that should test the conditioning of participants will go north from Blyth to the fifth line of Morris, across to Brussels, down to Walton and back to Blyth. Organizers promise , the route is downhill most of the way. Bet there are a lot of riders who'll argue with that by about 9 a.m. With the weather the last few days, perhaps there should be alternate plans for a snowshoe race. ***** That shiny new car down on the post office lawn isn't there as the result of a shortage of parking spaces in town. It's another of the fundraising undertakings of local clubs, The Legion will raffle off the car later this year and hopes to turn over a tidy profit for the arena. ***** We had a chance the other night to drop down and see the Blyth Summer Festival crew at including an airconditioning system worth $100,000. Some of the changes are truly impressive including many of the changes downstairs where lounges and dressing rooms have been added (and the air con- ditioning vias pretty impressive on a day when the temperature was about 95 degrees) but in all, the big building couldn't stack up, in our admittedly biased opinion, to our own Memorial Hall. The scats, though padded at considerable expense, just weren't as comfortable as Blyth's, the accoustics weren't as good and you were much farther from the action. And although the seats arc farther from the stage and the hall much larger, it seats only about 550-575, compared to just over 500 in Blyth when the balcony is (hopefully) in use. In all, it was a terrific testimony for those who designed Memorial Hall a half century ago that it's still one . of the best buildings around.

Books at the library The Matriarch by Charles Mackinnon This novel is a family saga, a romance, and an epic overview of the Victorian Era as it depicts the workings of power, money and love in the life of one women, Janet Darling. It covers the loves and lives of several generations of a great family from the time of the Crimean War to 1927. Through it all Janet Darling holds together the intricate fabric of the family with her combination of firmness and flexibility. She is a true matriarch and a heroine as memorable in her own way as Scarlet O'Hara. The Birthday Gift by Ursula Curtiss The birthday gift would involve Lydia Peele in some things she would just as soon not have known about. Lydia agreed to deliver a valuable mirror to Paula Blake who lived in Elder's Farms, the same Connecticut town where Lydia was going to attend her cousin's wedding. She did not know about Mrs. Chilton, the doughty old widow, or Desmond Moran, the newspaperman who persisted in seeking answers to his questions, or the puzzling undercurrent of coolness to Paula and her husband. Here is an intriguing story of romantic suspense. Pets and More Pets In this book we find 10 easy -to -read stories about city children with various kinds of pets including gerbils, guppies, mice, turtles and guinea pigs. Some of the stories are hilariously funny. The adventures of small animals and their owners arc sure to delight junior readers who arc beginning to read for themselves. Book of Pirates by Howard Pyle Here we have fiction, fact, and fancy concerning the buccaneers and marooners of the Spanish Main. Pirate gold and pirate adventure held for Howard Pyle an endless fascination. He was able to express all the roistering, adventurous daredevil spirit for which the legendary pirate stands. Although this book was written for children, adventurers of all ages would enjoy reading it.

Speaker champions small businesses Owner -operated businesses still backbone of economy John Bulloch, president of the Canadian Federation of Inde- pendent Business,spoke at the recent Canadian Community Newspaper convention in Hulifax. Mr. Bulloch is a crusader against big business and big government. His comments are reprinted here. SMALL FIRMS A MODEL FOR THE 21st CENTURY Many Canadians must be wondering if Canada is becoming ungovernable, Our problems seem insurmountable; bilingual- ism, Olympic financing, the anti-inflation oroeramnl . I.rhnnr unrest, Western artenatron, regional disparities, unemploy- ment, trade deficits, government spending, foreign ownership and control to name only the obvious. It seems that the more we become aware of our problems, the more pressure we place on elected officials to come up with solutions. The result is over- expanding bureaucracies and authoritarianism. Unfortunately, we expect governtnents to do more than they arc capable of doing. These expectations only lead to further bitterness and disillusionment. When basics such as jobs, savings, family and community life are threatened, the basic reservoir of goodwill that is, necessary to maintain Canada as a nation is slowly drained away. There is a great danger that the bilingualism issue will be used as a scapegoat for a host of frustrations related to other government policies. When the basic tolerance and understanding of Canadians is tested, as it was during the pilot's strike, we find a sector of English Canada no longer arguing about the cost or effectiveness of bilingualism, but rather the principle itself. For those Canadians who are emotionally committed to the concept of Canada, it is a difficult time indeed. in my judgement, we need to set new goals and objectives around which English and French Canadians can unite. We need to build a new model for society that enhances and strengthens values important to both communities. The kind of decentralized, opportunity -enhancing and community sustaining socio- economic system that the Federa- tion is promoting is finding increasing support in Quebec. Francophone small businesses arc joining our organization at the rate of 50-75 per week. Actually, Quebec is very European in its attitude toward small business and is the most progressive oral{ the provinces in its programmes to help small and medium-size enterprises. The present socio-economic model, which, in our judgement, is breaking down, is characterized by Big Institutions, Big Cities and Big Welfare expenditures, it is based on the myth tint bigger is better because bigness provides economics of scale. It's time we destroyed this myth before there is a complete social upheaval in our society. What is really involved in bigness is the question of centralized power, control and prestige and only limited economic efficiencies. 'The broader question of the breakdown of free market econ- omics in the Western world is related to growing concentrations of economic power. As larger sectors of society determine their incomes and prices by relation- ships of power rather than by the forces of supply and demand, monetary and fiscal policy become a less workable and less acceptable political tool for stabilizing employment and inflation. The governments of geograph- ically smaller countries such as Japan, Germany and Sweden have been able to find an direction future policy should take accommodation between major if we are to strengthen the corporations and organized contribution of the owner - labour. Whether it's called managed sector of the economy. "corporatism", or some form of. First of all, random influences, "social contract" it is not an that is the normal process of arrangement that is likely to work failure and acquisition will lead to in Canada, Big Business fn concentrated markets if there arc Canada is two-thirds foreign not continuous new business controlled and Big Labour start-ups. It is crucial therefore (represented by the Canadian that public policy in the areas of Labour Congress) represents only taxation, competition law, tariffs 25 percent of the work force, Big and capital markets focus on Labour in Canada is also not the encouraging the continuous kind of hierarchical organization . formation of new ventures. that cotild enter into any kind of t' Monopoly practices of business and labour can also accelerate business deaths and sell-outs leading to increased.'concentra- tion. Public policy again should support rigorous competition laws in order to curb the natural instinct of man to form cartels, price fixing arrangements, and engage in anti-competitive forms of- behaviour. Restrictive practices of organized labour such as the boycotting of non-union shops and secondary picketing should also be brought under the purview of our Combines investi- gation Act. Regulation of entry into trucking is another form of anti-competitive behaviour which results in unnecessary bigness. Public policy is perhaps the most concentrating influence at cork in free societies. The growth of the state, usually to finance and manage social programmes imposes a burden on the productive sector that falls heaviest on those economic units with the least market, power. It curtails profitability and capital formation; and makes the sale of an enterprise a more profitable option than long -tern operation. Payroll taxes to finance unem- ployment insurance, pensions and v.orkmen's compensation p;a special n ;abouaccr•intensrvc smaburdenll firms. o Manpower and social policy can also influence the size— and distribution of business structures. When y.e divert our arrangement that would be binding on its affiliates. A more workable alternative is to build and • strengthen the owner -managed sector ok the economy, the vital majority, which'represents at present about 55 ncrcent of working Canadians. In doing so we would reduce conflict and alienation, and build a society that is less subject to blackmail by the various power groups. We have not understood the potential of the owner—managed sector to contribute to the economic, social and cultural life of the nation in comparison with other countries. The unsophisti- cated Canadian observer watch- ing the growth of Big Business and Big Labour and the decline of small business can only conclude that this is somehow related to relative levels of efficiency and the natural order of things, Such is not the case. Actually the owner -managed sector is a fundamentally differ- ent sort of economic system - comprising economic units and relationships v.ith distinctive qualities. There is a completely separate body of knowledge related to small business of which Canadian governments and universities arc for the most part ignorant. It is worthwhile to examine the forces that create bigness so that we can better understand the resources towards social pro- grammes and away from. manpower training and national programmes of apprenticeship training we allocate the marginal workforce to the small business community, Instead of building knowledge -intensive differen- tiated manufacturing in Canada, small firms too often engage in the less sophisticated manufact- uring that is vulnerable to imports from low wage countries. Cheap energy and subsidized highway construction have •also been concentrating influences in Western society. The economics of large centralized manufactur- ing and long haul distribution, large regional plazas, huge sprawling cities, and the proces- sing of our resources will all be influenced by scarce and costly energy. A public announcement by Allied Bakeries in Britain that it plans to build 172 mini -bakeries to replace seven centralized plants because of the costs of distribution is a portent of changes to come in plant size a and location. The result of the interaction of all these concentrating influences has been the phenomenon of mergers and acquisitions, the growth of trade unions and the increasing intervention of governments in the economy. Bigness in business, for the most part, is not a function of plant size or economics of scale but instead is the organization of small and medium-sized enterprises under coninion ownership. In a study commissioned by the U.S. Senate Select Committe9 on Small Business in December 1975, it was revealed that large multi -plant U.S. Corporations comprise only three percent of the total number of American corporations; although they employ 73 percent of total manufacturing employment. The separate manufacturing establishments these firms own on average only employ 203 people, Take out the obvious large plants producing automo- biles, defense systems and electrical machinery and the average drops to about 100, In other words the majority of plants operated by the largest U.S. firms would classify as small business in most countries where limits for purposes of designating small manufacturers range between 200 and 300 employees, this data also makes it obvious that strong competition law can result in the break up of these giants without any loss of economic effectiveness. This study does not imply that economies of scale do not exist (auto assembly, steel and oil refining are obvious examples) but that the various benefits enjoyed by multi -unit or con- glomerate firms can be achieved by ov.'ner•managed enterprises. For example, service bureaus can provide computer services; con- sortia of small firms can provide efficiencies in purchasing or in negotiating consulting services; trade associations can provide economics in promotion, training and standardization; and special financial institutions can offset the natural bias of the capital markets against small enter- prises. And, of course, institu- tions like the Canadian Federa- tion of Independent business can provide the collective political muscle, It is time that . the myth of labour productivity was also destroyed • that measure of efficiency which excites economists, statisticians and politicians. Essentially it is' a measure of net output (wages, profit and taxes) per employee, a calculation biased towards large firms, Here are sonic insights into this type of measurement: I.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 1, 1976. Small businesses lead country in efficiency Continued from Page 5 figures meaningless. 2. Buying up your competition and firming up prices will certainly ,improve productivity. 3. Creating barriers to entry and reducing price competition by massive national advertising and product differentiation increases productivity. 4. Providing a tax bias in the form of capital cost allowances and fast write-offs also increases productivity. 5. Social costs such as environ- mental pollution and the cost of replacing scarce resources are excluded from these productivity measurements. As a matter of fact, if we were to take productivity data seriously for purposes of public policy the kinds of activity that should be encouraged would be booze and the exploitation of non-renewable resources, two industries with so-called high productivity. In the future, output will be measured in terms of inputs such as scarce capital and energy. This kind of analysis would tip the balance in favour of smaller enterprises. The factors that improve real productivity are related to managerial know-how, better planning, better procedures, better communications, and effective manpower and personnel policies. It is not capital or labour alone but the way managers put them both together. Canada's real product- ivity problem is not small plant size or the size of our domestic market but rather: 1. A weak managerial and enterpreneurial class that is the product of extensive foreign ownership; and, 2. public policy that has trans- ferred excessive resources to the non-productive sector of the economy. The need for bigness for export purposes is also largely a myth. Forty-nine percent of Japan's • • exports come from small and medium-sized enterprises, The bulk of the trade of world scale corporations is in reality inter- national transfers between associated companies. Free trade is the natural philosophy of the multi -national enterprises. Large foreign corporations when consol- idating their international earn- ings can deduct all foreign taxation with the exception of tariffs. Eliminating tariffs would greatly improve their inter- national productivity regardless of the impact on national economies, The Economic Council of Canada would not, in my judgement, have reached its conclusions on Free Trade if it vias represented in any way by the owner -managed sector of the economy. Rapid changes in the Canadian economy will force us to examine the kind of society we have been building. The level of government expenditures in Canada, expen• sive energy, competition from low wage economies and public concern about the environment are all forces dictating a future of relatively slow, economic growth. Without rapid growth, social spending and transfer payments are going to be difficult for governments to finance, The present model of Big Institutions, I Big Cities and Big Welfare will be not only difficult to sustain but ungovernable by democratic means. We need to work towards a model characterized by more work places and points of distribution, knowledge - intensive, Canadian -owned manufacturing, rural industry, smaller scale technology, less bureaucracy and increased self- sufficiency. . The education and social spending establishments are also capable of diffusion by changes in the tax system. Tax credits could go to families wishing to Double cropping increases produce • Vegetable gardens can be double and maybe even triple cropped, Spinach, lettuce, radishes or even green onions should be planted now for a fall harvest. Clean out the areas where vegetables have been picked. Replant with crops that have •a short growing season. If !ate-pianted crops are to be successful, they must be kept well -watered, says R.A. Fleming, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. The !seeds require plenty of moisture to germinate properly. Apply chemical insecticides to prevent 'insects from attacking the crop. Prepare the soil as you would any seed crop, advises Mr. Fleming. Add a pound or two of a good commercial fertilizer to each 100 square feet of garden area, since the ground will have lost much of its richness or nutrients with the first crop. r The streets are for the people.

September 18. 1976 inclusive. During those two weeks, an enumerator. carrying a proper identification card. will call at your residence for a few minutes to check basic information required in determining:. • your eligibility to vote in the municipal and school board elections to be held December 6, this year: • the allocation of education property taxes between the public and separate school systems: • the distribution of provincial grants to local governments to help reduce local tax bills: • the preparation of jurors' lists: and • population information needed for other municipal programs. The enumerator must record such information as the name. age. property status (e.g. owner or tenant), school support and residency of all members of the household. When the enumerator visits, please check that the information on• the Enumeration Notice is correct. If it is not, revise it and verify the changes. If you are not home, a Notice will be left for you. If changes are necessary,'please make them and mail the Enumeration Notice. as soon as possible, in the self addressed postage prepaid envelope accompanying the Notice.

Responsibility for social spending would shift from bureaucrats to individuals where it belongs. In all cases, changes in the behaviour of Canadians would come about through changes in the structures of society rather than through a . dependence on Government regulations and enforcement. In conclusion, it is the view of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business that Canadians should devote their energies to building a more diffused socio-economic system capable of coping with the challenges and tensions of the 1980's, The problems of biling- ualism, we believe, .will be. dwarfed by the 'Problems of adjusting to expensive energy and slow economic growth. We need to pull together as a nation - not fall apart! ' The battle is political and requires Canada's owner - managers to become politicized. Bigness in society is not a question of efficiency but of the exercise of power and control. Small and medium sized enter- prises intrinsically distribute power and control more broadly and .as a result build regions, communities and individual opportunity. Smallness and diffusion of power represent a philosophy of hope that can unite the political left and the political right. It's a ,whole new arrangement of competition and co-operation, a new "ism" for Canadian society, a model for the 21st century, an idea whose time has come.

PG. 11. An idea for the Olympics: give 'em a second chance By BILL SMILEY Now that the Games are over, and all the tears have been shed, it's tine to look ahead to the 1980 Olympics. What the International Olympic Committee needs like a hole in the head is new ideas, but I'll give them one anyway, It's simple: give everybody a second chance, I'm sure people like Debby Brill and Bruce Simpson and Yanko- vich Strmzlwvzlski will agree with me. Most of us get a second chance in life, whether it's falling down on the job, impaired driving, or being married, Why not the Olympic athletes? 1 got a second chance once upon a time, and I was ecstatically grateful for it. It was a long time ago, and the Olympics had been cancelled for The Duration, but there were some pretty serious games in progress, just the same, It is one of the great ironies, and my students simply can't understand it when 1 try to explain, but yours truly, and a lot of others, were involved in a bitter competition. We were trying to become fighter pilots, so we could be killed. Green tomatoes make a taster relish Pick some nice green tomatoes and try this recipe prepared by the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. GREEN TOMATO CHOWCHOW 20 green tomatoes 1/3 cup salt 10 onions 6 Targe cucumbers '/: cabbage 4 or 5 sweet red or green peppers 1 hot red pepper 7 cups vinegar 3 cups sugar 2 tsp. celery seed 4 tbsp. mixed pickling spice, tied in a bag. Grind the green tomatoes with the coarse blade of a food chopper. Stir in the salt. Let stand 30 minutes, Drain in a colander for several hours or• overnight, Coarsely grind onions, unpecled cucumbers, cabbage and seeded peppers; mix with the green tomatoes and remaining ingred- ients. faring slowly to a boil; cook, uncovered, until vegetables are tender about 20 minutes. Discard the spice bag, and pack the chovrchow in hot sterilized scalers. Seal. Makes about 20 cups. Isn't that silly? But it was so. No Olympic athlete suffered any more tension, anxiety, or frustra- tion than we did when it came to the big day, the final event, our wings test. Long before that, of course, were the eliminations. First one was the physical examination, It was tough. Many a youth with dreams of dicing through the clouds in a dogfight was shot down in the M.O,s office because he had flat feet or was color blind. Next came the preliminary heats. These were known as Elementary Flying Training. If you came through about 60 hours of flying training without being terribly air sick, without bouncing more than 40 feet on landings, and without running into another aircraft and killing yourself, you made the semi-finals, We lived in constant fear. 0 t, not of killing ourselves. Nobody was concerned in the least about that. The dread phrase was "gashed out." That recant that you weren't going to be that dashing figure•a fighter pilot -but that you were going to be retrained as a mere navigator, wireless op or tail gunner. 'In other words, sent to the minors. If you survived the heats, off you went to finishing school, known as Advanced Flying. This was like making the Olympic team, but knowing you'd probab- ly finish in 31st place. 1 was sent, with a lot of other young idiots dying to be killed, to Camp Borden. It was • quite an august group, including one Jake Gaudaur, the large, jovial gentle- man who is now the commissar of the Canadian Football League. Hi, Jake. Despite the augustness of the group, we trained in mid -winter, We flew in snow, we landed on snow, and occasionally an intre- pid student, usually an Austral- ian, proved once again that an aircraft falling 6,000 feet will not penetrate the ice of Georgian Bay. The whole deal was not unlike Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, And all the time, leering over our shoulders, was the ugly face of that thing called Washed Out. It seems incredible, looking back,tbat we were in such terror of that creature. If all the young fellows in the world had managed to have themselves washed out, there wouldn't have been anyone to fly and kill and die. But we suffered all the palpitations of Olympic contest- ants as we edged closer and toser to that triumph of Sado-masochism, the Wine$ Test. This consisted of about one hour of psychological torture in which the student flew the aircraft through a number of uncomfortable and alarming exer- cises while an instructor, sitting in the front seat, snarled imprecations. Came my big day. Everything was great. 1 was shaking like a wino, It wasn't quite snowing, but it wasn't quite not snowing. And the intercom wasn't working. Normally, this isn't a big deal. The intercom was just a little sort of telephone into ‘vhich the instructor shouted obscenities and the student ground his teeth. But on a Wings Test, it can be something more than a minor nuisance. My instructor would shout at me to do a steep turn to the left, I would guess at the muffled instructions and do a loop. He would yell at me to do a loop, and I'd do a sloppy slow roll, After half an hour of this blind man's bluff, he indicated with a ferocious gesture of his thumb that he was taking over and we were going to land, We did, He climbed out, speechless. 1 climb- ed out with my tail well between my legs, He just looked at me, and shook his head. I just looked at him, and wagged my tail. We both knew that I was Washed Out. He walked away, I looked around for some immediate means of committing suicide. The only thing 1 could see was a,whirling propeller and that was a bit too messy. There must, of course, be a climax to this fascinating narra- tive. And there is, Next morning I - was moping about, feeling as though I'd just learned my mother was a prostitute and my Lather a quack abortionist. A voice:"Smiley, get your gear on!" Another instructor, widely known as a Mean Bastard. We took off. I hate to brag, but with the careless abandon of a man who knows he is off to the galleys anyway, 1 Hang that aircraft around the sky in a dream Whigs Test. Two days later, 1 not only had my wings, but had suddenly become an Officer and a Gentleman. So. Everyone deserves a Second Chance, And that is my contribution to the XXlst Olym- pics. I'll let the committee figure out the details. tario's school bus safety regulations are everyone's responsibility. This is what you can do to make sure they're observed. Your Ontario Government needs your help in protecting our province's school children. So we urge you as a motorist to drive with extra care whenever you see a school bus in front of you or coming towards you. You will recognize the school bus by its chrome -yellow colour. And whenever it flashes its alternating red signal lights front and rear, you must stop. In fact, all traffic from both directions must stop. This is true everywhere in Ontario... on highways, country roads, and city, town or village streets, and regardless of the speed limit. The penalty for disobeying this law is a fine of up to $100 and 4 demerit points. The only exception is for motorists going in the opposite direction from the school bus on the other side of a multi -lane highway divided by a physical barrier. There is something else you can do, as well. Instruct your children to follow the school bus safety rules learned at school—to help the bus driver by behaving quietly and ' by keeping seated until it is time to leave the bus. 1.1r. gip •• SCHOOL BUS r M CO NOT PASS WHEN SIGNALS FLASHING -14 1 For more information on school bus safety and the School Bus Stopping Law, write to: Public and Safety Information Branch Ministry of Transportation and Communications 1201 Wilson Avenue Downsview, Ontario M3M 1J8 Ministry of Transportation and Communications James Snow, William Davis, Minister Premier `�,.•�,a�:, Province of Ontario PG. 4.

As part of the celebrations wouldn't it be a nice idea to revive the Blyth Fall Fair, for at (east one year? The Blyth Fair was a part of the community for a century, becoming a meeting place for the rural and urban dwellers every fall, It was a reminder of just how important agriculture was to the scheme of things in Huron County. The fair fell on hard tinges in the Tate 1960's and early 1970's. It became harder and harder to get people interested in helping out, leaving a hard burden for those still supporting the fair. People, too, were becoming a little blase about fall fairs. if the fair didn't have the excitement of the C.N.E. or the Western Fair, they just didn't want to become involved. But in the relatively short time since the last Blyth Fair was held, there has been a noticeable change in public thinking. Local things are of more value these days, and most rural fairs are recovering from the doldrums they went through a decade ago. A revived Fair in Blyth would have a big advantage with the new community centre available for use. There plight be people too who had missed having the fair and would like to see it come back for one year at least. Perhaps a different time, such as earlier in the year, could be found. The fair too could be an advantage in helping pay for the new community centre since if the building was to be used for an agricultural fair, extra grants are available. All in all, it would seem a good time to at least try to get the Fair back on the road. It doesn't cost anything, to try. A return to sanity The giant General Motors Corporation, the dominant force in the auto industry in North American will make a move next month that ►nay finally return sanity to the North American automobile industry. G.M. will introduce new smaller dimension cars when it unveils its 1977 line. Most of the big cars will be almost a foot shorter than last year's and also higher and narrower. The changes however, willhave little effect on comfort, as G.M. engineers will simply do what carmakers in other parts of the world have been doing all along: make better use of the available space. interior space in the new cars will be the same as the old, bigger cars with only the extra metal cut off. While General Motors has proven the leader in putting some sanity back into the car business, it doesn't deserve all the credit. No doubt G.M. would still be making cars bigger than ever if it weren't for the energy crisis brought on by the oil embargo a couple of years back and the American government's determination to cut petroleum consumption. The government ordered cars made smaller and lighter. Basically what has happened is that GM has jumped back 20 years to before it began adding bat wings and fins and long snouts and convincing consumers that these were big improvements to the old cars. About all they were, of course were a big bonus to the steel indus- try, requiring more steel in every car, and to the body shop business, meaning it was easier to bang the cars up and more expensive to fix them. It did nothing, of course for our insurance rates. But in leading the industry back into the smalj r car format, G.M. may have made a costly gamble. Ford and Chrysler have been dragging their feet in moving toward smaller cars andas a result will have the old long and low look this fall to oppose G.M.'s shorter models. Both companies are expecting big gains at G.M.'s expense. While G.M. deserves applause for its leadership, one can't help feel it might be ironic justice if the company gets burned in the changeover. It was the massive advertising campaigns of G.M. and the other auto companies in the past 20 years that brainwashed North American drivers into thinking that just because a car got longer and lower, it got better. Now, 20 years of brainwashing might just backfire on the company. Hopefully, however, the car buyer is intelligent enough to overcome he conditioning and see the sense of the smaller cars. Hopefully G.M. .vill be rewarded for its courage by record sales. That would really ihow that commonsense is coming back. Government should set example While locked in a war of words with the Canadian labour movement about the anti-inflation program, the federal government doesn't seem to be helping the situation much by its own actions. The end of August and the first of September saw two large price hikes in the price of oil and gasoline and the postage rates, both of which will have a significant impact on the cost of the living and doing business in Canada, and both under the control of the government. While the unions are wrong in their attitude toward the inflation program, the government doesn't seem to be setting much of an example in its own ways. If they are serious about their program, surely the federal cabinet ministers could work a little harder at making do with present resources, not driving costs up for everyone else. Something about revenge and needing volunteers BY KEITH ROULSTON It's trucly heartening to sec the v;ay people have pulled together in this community vrhen it looked like they plight lose ,the arena, one of the main centres of community activity. Such emergencies usually bring people together. and when the villain is a senior government such as the Ministry of Labour, it tends to make feelings even stronger. But why, vre v.onder, does it take so much to get people moving? 'Ihcrc are so marry other causes that need support yet get little. Why is it that the clilllrllunity Spirit only conies to the fore when our hacks are against the wall. People scent v.illing to see their community die little by little, but when some- thing big conies up, they're out going full blast. Communities the size r of this one need that kind of spirit all the time if they are 10 survive. Willing hands are required to keep the organizations going that make this community a good place to live: organizations like the Lions Club, the Legion, the Women's Institute the Board of Trade and the any other important groups that contribute to our lifestyle. Yet time and again it's the sante weary people who are forced into doing things rather than seeing a club or a project die completely. Only in times of great emergency do the others in the community show any willingness to help out. A community without an arena would be something less than the community we now know. But what would a community without merchants on main street be like? Many • of the people -who arc so gung-ho when it conies to something like an arena, think nothing of going out of town to do their shopping on the weekend. It's cheaper, they say to go up to a shopping piazza or a big retail store in one of the other towns. But it would also be cheaper for us to do without an arena, to simply take our kids to play hockey and figure skate in some other town. We won't though and we'll glady raise $150,000 or so because we want the convenience and pride of having our own arena. Aren't our stores on main street as important, as much a convenience and source of pride as an arena? Yet so many people don't see the last bit of need in helping keep our local businesses going, except of course when they expect the merchants to come up with a big donation for the good of the cause. For that matter, what would a, community be without its own Why community spirit only in emergencies? newspaper. We don't mind admitting that it's been touch and go and still is to keep this newspaper running. Many people in the business questioned our sanity when we bought this paper, saying there's nothing but grief and heartbreak in running a paper in a town this size. In many ways they're right. While you're hardly able to pay the bills, many people complain about hour expensive the paper is, or how much it costs to advertise.or hour there's "nothing in it". We've tried hard to give the coniniunity the best paper possible to the point 01' spending a lot more money 011 some things like equipment and editorial features than makes sense economically. There are still many things wrong with this paper. but compare it with papers in other towns this size and even larger, and I think %ye stack up pretty well. Still there have been more than a for timies v.e'd have packed it all in and went on to something else if it wasn't for the fact that nobody wants to buy a newspaper in a town of this size anymore for all the above reasons. 'I'hc only possible buyers are big chain owners who %you'd most probably shut the paper down and simply circulate their big papers to local readers. Yet people continue to cut corners by passing on the paper to friends instead,of buying subscriptions and mechants who think nothing of giving a hcafty donation to a project like the arena, bitch about spending a few dollars a week on advertising which in the long run will make them several times as much money. 011 we're not asking for sympathy or charity. We're simply pointing out that there are other things as important in your community as the arena and it's a shank that the only time people get stirred up enough to support their community is when a major crisis erupts. Hopefully this arena campaign will make people mc,re conscious of keeping up commun- ity spirit so that we'll look at a new era of community growth. not just in terms of population, but in terms of being a better place to live. Letter to the editor Goderich welcomes participation The Editor. The Town of Goderich is celebrating its 150th anniversary in 1977 and throughout the year many events arc planned to help us all remember the Triple Jubilee of our community. The centrepiece of the celebra- tions will be a mammoth parade around the town on Saturday, July 9, 1977 commencing at 2 p.ni. The time has been•set at 2 p.m, to allow plenty of time .for any unit or band who may travel from a long distance to attend without having to rise too early in the morning and to allow a maximum number to be "up and about" to view the parade. We cordially invite any band, marching unit, comedy group, majorettes, baton -twirlers' to attend, We also welcome any youth, church, club, factory, business or residential area to have a, float in the parade. Two themes will be used for the parade: Links With the Past and Plans For The Future. However, any other float may enter without conforming to the themes. Prizes will be awarded for the three best , entries in both theme groups based on originality, design and decoration. Now is the time to begin planning for the parade. I would appreciate any person or group contemplating entering in the parade to contact me when they can. so that .1 can commence to make a list of participants. It is not necessary to name. the theme you intend to enter at this stage. Any person who does contact us will be supplied with a form at a later date so that this information can be used to form the parade so that there is some continuity yet variety in the composition of the •parade line-up. We want bands, marching units, flag bearers, clowns, fun units, stilt -walkers, majorettes, twirlers and floats. Please let me know if you arc interested. Bands should advise if there is any fee for their attendance so that some form of budget can be maintained. Contact me at 65 West Street, Goderich, Tel. 519.524.8333 in person or by note.

Pick a private moment that allows for 'Tis Show Biz Fall TV shows now being prepared While many of us arc relaxing in the sun and planning summer vacations, Hollywood's television stars arc hard at work filming the , fall television series, The three major American networks, CBS, ABC and NBC are competing for honors this fall, each pitting its winning show against the other networks' top audience draws to see who can come up with the best ratings. In the long run, big name stars mean nothing; it is a show's audience • appeal that really counts. NBC has suffered most in the ratings race. They arc, as it were, "putting all their eggs in one basket" this year with the purchase of some of the most outstanding motion pictures that have ever been produced in Hollywood. This fall alone two of the top money makers of all time, "Gone With The Wind" and "The Godfather", will be shown on the American network. the filmed love story to end all love stories, GWTW was made in 1939 and set in the south during the decade of the Civil War. It starred Clark Gable as Rhett Butler and Vivien Leigh as Scarlette O'Hara, the girl' whose world is destroyed by the war. Miss Leigh was named best actress for her touching performance and Hattie McDaniel who played Mammy received the Oscar for best supporting actress. "The Godfather" Was released in 1972 and won three Academy Awards including best picture of the year. NI3C.apparently issued a cheque in the amount of ten million dollars for the, privilege of showing it to television audienc- es. It will be shown in two parts and the cutting room floor will contain the gory scenes and obscene dialogue so it is more appealing to general audiences. Reportedly, it will cost a mere $225,000 for a sponsor to advertise for one minute during the show. If NBC's big gamble doesn't pay off they have a few acts in the hole. They have picked up Jack Klugman, fresh from his "Odd Couple" finale and will star him in "Quincy"' a series about a medical examiner in the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Other new series will star Dick Van Dyke, Gig Young, David Birney and Lesley Ann Warren. The network has cancelled more than 40 shows from last year • its worst season. Included in the list that got the .axe were "McCoy" starring Tony Curtis, "Movin' On" (CI:nude Atkins and Frank Converse), "Petrocelli" (Barry Newman), ."-Eltery Queen" (Jim .Hutton and David Wayne), "City of Angels (Wayne Rogers) and the Mac Davis and Rich Little Variety Shows. ABC has also killed off a few people, one of the most familiar. Dr. Marcus Welby who has laid aside his scalpel for the last time. Also biting the dust are David Janssen's "Harry 0", Steve Forrests in "S.W.A.T." Carl Reiner's "Good Heavens" and "The Rookies", a police series starring George Sanford Brown and Kate Jackson, Among the new series that look promising for ABC are a new one for Tony Randall, the other half of the Odd Couple, in which he plays a Philadelphia Judge. (This series will be shown on the CBC in Canada Sundays at 8;30 begin- ning September 19); a new detective series, "Most Wanted" starring the Elliott Ness of the Untouchables, Robert Stack; the new Nancy Walker Show with Nancy losing her identity as Rhoda Morgenstern's mother and becoming a talent agent. There will also be a private eye series, "Charlie's Angels" and Stephan- ie Powers and Harold Gould will star as,a father -and -daughter law team in "Feather and Father", The two new ABC variety series will star Bill Cosby and the Captain and Tennille. Some topflight television enter- tainment would be a nice change from what we have been enjoying. Perhaps 1976.77 is the season - for a change toward the better and a good reason for curling up beside the fire on those cold winter nights. Summer beauty stays alive with dried flowers Dried flowers are becoming increasingly popular since they last indefinitely and require minimum care. For best results, flowers and leaves for v;intcr arrangements must be cut and dried when they arc at their best. says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, R.A. Fleming. To dry green leaves, mid equal quantities oI' pure glycerin with v.ater. Found the cut ends of leaves and branches (0 crush the stems. This enables the leaves and branches to- absorb the mixture through the stents. Place the crushed ends and mixture in a narov; container.

Tell her the pictures were given to you by a party who found them (do not identify the little sister) and ask (in a helpful, non -condemnatory way) if she is well-informed on matters of birth control. If not, offer to obtain literature from Planned Parenthood --then do so. A 16 -year-old girl who hides nude pictures of her 19 -year-old boyfriend is having sex with ,him --you can bet on it. She's not about to quit, no matter what you say, so be realistic and make sure she has enough information to stay out of further trouble, DEAR ANN LANDERS: We recently moved to the country and we love it. The only problem is my mother-in-law. She loves to' go through our house when we are gone --1 mean closets, refrigerat- or, drawers, bank statements, mail, etc. At first we had no locks on the doors so it was easy. Soon after we installed locks, thinking it would solve the problem. It didn't. Our teenage son is now at __ 1ome. and Grandma used this as an excuse to come over, 1 must drive by my in-laws' house when I go into town. She has asked me to honk when I go by. At first I thought it was a friendly gesture but I soon discovered it was her signal to rush to our house and go through everything. Drying or preserving flowers is a little more complex. Place wild or garden flowers on a base of pov;dcred silica gel. Then with a spoon, gradually cover the petal formation with more silica pov,der, being very careful not to injure the petals. If the flowers are picked at their peak, and properly covered with the pov;der, they should remain lovely throughout winter. Dry teazels, larkspur. g• olden rod and bullrushes by hanging them upside down for about two weeks. Bullrushcs, however. need to be sprayed with hair spray before and after they are cut. 1876 1976 McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY HEAD OFFICE: 10 MAIN ST., SEAFORTH, ONT Mrs. Margaret Sharp, Sec.

Can you think of a solution? --Had It DEAR HAD: Always keep the doors (and windows) locked in your absence or one day you may have a less benign visitor who will do a lot more than snoop. As for your mother-in-law, instruct your son to stick like a mustard plaster when she comes to "visit". Grandma won't do much nosing around with him at her side. Also, put all your personal mail and bank state- ments in a drawer with a lock on it. And Quit Honking. Confidential to On -The -Spot Wife: I say, "Forgive and Forget" -- but beyond that you must be able to really forget what it was you forgave.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 1, 1976. H.P. separate school board names superintendents JOSEPH MILLS BY WILMA OKE • Two superintendents were hir- ed by the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board at a meeting in Dublin August 23 to fill the two vacancies created by resignations. Joseph Mills, 38, of Burlington, formerly with the Dufferin-Peel County Roman Catholic Separate School Board, will replace Joseph Tokar as Superintendent of Special Services, William Eckert, 38, of Brant- ford, formerly with the Brant County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will replace Alexan- der Easton as Superintendent of Program. Mr, Mills, a native of Lindsay, and Mr. Eckert, a native of Seaforth, will commence their duties with the board effective September 1, 1976, both at an annual salary of $31,000. In the recorded vote (requested by Stratford trustee, David Teahen) the board chairman Arthur Haid of Listowel left the chair to vote on the two motions made to hire the two superintend- ents. Mr. Haid said that his reason for voting was to ensure that the programs started by Mr. Tokar and Mr. Easton would be continued for the children from Kindergarten to Grade 8 in the 19 separate schools in Huron and Perth Counties. WILLIAM ECKERT Seaforth; Michael Connolly, Kip - pen; and Joseph Looby, Dublin. The recorded voted on the second motion to hire Mr. Eckert was; For •- O'Drowsky, Vere, Fleming, Marcy, Looby, Young, Connelly, Kinahan, Geoffrey, Haid and Hicknell, Opposed -- Teahen and Shantz. Mr. Teahen, the only trustee to voice his objections to the hiring of the two superintendents in the general meeting before the press, said "he objected to the hiring of two people to the superintend- ent's position at once as our board now has a special services unit operating with nine people involved, one of whom has ministry certification in special education: (2) because of declin- ing enrolment, grant structures and the fact that this will give us a supervisory officer for each 1,000 children; (3) on top of not attempting to use our own qualified staff a decision to hire a second superintendent for $31,000 when he was making $24,500 as a principal, is outrageous." Mr. Teahen concluded: "the recorded vote speaks for the trustees concerned." Stratford trustee Ron Marcy said: "It is cheaper to hire tv.o supervisory officers than to go back to the tints %. hen %;e only had one superintendent and tv.o The recorded vote on the first iconsultants." motion to hire Mr. Mills was as Mr. Marc• said that certifica- follows: For: John O'Drowsky, St. tion in special education does not Marys; Mickey Vere and Ronald qualify a person for a supervisory Marcy both of Stratford; Greg position.

WAC Br DULCIIU er P,OOUCIDe, DONALD S. SANFORD e JOHN WILLIAMS e JACK SMIGHT' WALTER MIRISCH following the newspaper report of the last board meeting in July with regard to rates paid to board owned bus drivers, Jack Lane, 'superintendent of business, stated in the rate paid to those drivers who provide the regular morning and afternoon service, a care allowance is included for each driver, These drivers are responsible for the interior and exterior cleaning and general maintenance to comply with ministry of transportation and communications standards. Commenting on the brief presented by the superintendent of business, Jack Lane, to the property tax reform commission meeting in Goderich early this month, a number of trustees who also attended complimented Mr, Lane for the way he had written up the brief and for the way he presented it to the commission. The trustees said that not only %rcre they impressed with Mr. Lane's presentation but the members of the commission were too and chairman Willis Blair said it %;as their eighth meeting and his %; as the first positive brief that %. as offered. Mr. Lane's brief proposed an alternative to the commission on property tax reform that taxes on all schools and school property be funded by the government in a manner similar to that proposed' by owners of farmland, farm buildings and managed forests. %.ith the sank provision ofl recovery for these taxes for the reasons listed: I. It will continue to permit (as intended) a favourable distribu- tion of local assessment and costs among local government units. 2. It will permit school boards to� finance all other costs (except taxes) as before regardless of %.ealth. • 3. It will permit the variable degree to which school boards are required to purchase future, school sites in growth areas. ' 4. It niay permit the continuation of the operation of catholic high schools and private schools where parents have been willing to make a financial commitment for the education alternative. 5. It will provide for the recovery of taxes paid by the province on schools and school sites, when and if converted for other purposes. The proposed provincial property tax reforms will force school boards to pay property taxes on 50 percent of all schools and school properties with the promise that this additional cost, from which they are currently exempt, will be returned in the form of provincial grants. However, concerned that these provincial grants will not fully compensate for the additional tax cost levied against the board, Mr, Lane prepared the brief on behalf of the board. • • 1 i • 1 •• 1 i • 1 i • • • • • • p�'m'mFoo� savin'e Canada Gr.
