BL,YTH, ONTARIO, PRICE:20 CENTS VOLUME 86 • NO. 37 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1976. .Inside Editorial Pg, 4 Church Pg. 7 Classified Pg. 14 Entertainment Pg. 15' Average yearly cost $160 under sewer -proposal The facts and figures of how much sewer installation is going to cost the average Blyth homeowner were revealed Monday night as Blyth village council reviewed the rate structure proposal for the sewerage system from • the Ministry of the Environment. The costs were estimated at the expected value of 1979 dollars and show that the cost of the project will be $3,887,584. The project that was to have started this past spring and now will not begin before April, 1979. There will he three basic charges to homeowners: a connection charge, which can be paid as a lunip sum or over the 40 -year financing period of the sewer system. A frontage charge which niay be paid in a lump sum or over the 40 -year period; and a water surcharge which will . be in ef'f'ect every year. . The connection charge will be $148 at the time of completion or $15 per year for 40 years, The frontage charge will be 30 cents per. foot of frontage on an annual basis or $2.94 per foot in one lump sum. Both charges apply whether, the' homeowner connects up to the system or not. The final charge is the water surcharge which will amount to $1.22 for every 100 gallons of sewerage treated at the plant. Water metres will be installed in all homes in Blyth and homeowners will be charged at a rate of 1,42 times their water bill. The Ministry's sample' figures show that for the average home of 2.5 persons, this While the big steam engines were the main centres of attraction at the 15th .annual Blyth Thresher Reunion last weekend, this little 1901 Olds car stole a good bit of the show, especially for the youngster In the driver's seat. About 22,000 people attended the event, organizers say. -- Staff Photo. Arena has ice cleaner even if no ice Blyth may not yet have its new arena, but it has ati icecleaning machine for the building. Council approved ..the purchase of the machine Monday night at the regular Record crowds -see Thresher Reunion Despite a slow start, the 1976 Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association Reunion at Blyth was the biggest in its. 15 year history. Plagued by wet cold weather on Friday, the event made up for it by two good days on Saturday and Sunday. Simon Hallahan, secretary•treasurer, of the association said about 10,000 people attended the taturday show and about 12;000 were at the event on Sunday. The Saturday. attendance ` was down about 800 from last year but the Sunday crowd was the largest yet. Many commented that it was the best show yet too with a good deal of variety. The show was hampered by wet grounds from Fridays rains and by the lack of an arena but still seemed.to be a big success. monthly meeting. The tractor and ice cleaner was purchased from the town of Leamington for a cost of $3,000 by the village and will be transferred to the arena building committee before the end of the year. In other business, it was learned that the arena building committee has retained the services of Maitland Engineering Services of Wingham to protect its interests during the building of the new arena and community centre. A total of $3,803.56 in a special account left over from the installation of artificial ice in the old arena was turned over to the arena building fund. Council said no to a land exchange proposal from William Knox on his east end property. A developer is interested in buying the Dinsley Street East property but wants an undeveloped street allowance included. Last month council refused a request to have the land turned over for a "nominal fee" and this month refused to exchange the land for a similar parcel to the east which it felt, would not provide as good a street location if a street had to 6e built in the future. Council did agree to sell the, property at the current market value. Continued on Page .2. .annual charge would be $135.66. Based on a 66 -foot lot, the frontage charge would be 519.80 per year over 40 years or $194.04 in a lump sum. The connection charge is basic. The cost then to a homeowner who paid in one lump on construction $342.04 plus the annual surcharge of $135.66. For the homeowner who chose to pay the initial costs over 40 years it would mean an annual charge of about $160. Councillors passed the by-law accepting the proposal to, as some put it, "get the ball rolling" on the project. The Ontario Municipal Board will hold its hearing to hear submissions from local people who may be opposed to the plan or rates. In other business, council learned that the drain at McConnell and. Morris Streets may cost nearly SO per cent over the engineer's estimates. Total cost of the drain may run to $9,000 instead of the $6,000 estimated. The drain will allow development of McConnell Street. After another tie -breaking vote by Reeve Robbie Lawrie, it was decided to put the question: "Are you in favour of sale of liquor under a lounge licence on a licenced premises on the December ballot. Councillors Fred Carson and Bill Howson voted against the motion which was requested by Harold Ferguson of the Blyth Inn. If the motion had not passed, the vote could still have been held in December by the collection of 25 names on a petition. Belgrave arena faces $41 ,000 in repairs 1t is hoped to begin repairs to the Belgrave arena to bring it up to Ontario Ministry of Labour specifications in October. A public meeting on the arena situation was held in Belgrave last Thursday night with a small ' attendance. The report prepared by B. M. Ross and Associates of Goderich estimated repairs to cost $41,250. it is hoped to have the actual costs in October when, after Ministry approval is given for repair proposals, the repairs can begin. Two committees were set up for the repairs. The finance committee consists of 'Glenn Coultes, Harry Brydges, and Gerald McDowell. The building committee consits of John Roberts, Lloyd Michie and Neil Vincent. The meeting learned that grants could cover 75 per cent of the cost of repairs with 25 per cent coming under the Community Centres Act and the other 50 per cent from Wintario.

PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 15, 1976. This 'n' That, Meeting to give information on Health Council What with hospital cutbacks and all there niay be new interest in the proposal to form a Huron -Perth District Health council to administer health facilities in the two counties. Earlier health council suggestions under the Mustard report, how- ever, scared many people about the whole concept. Those interested in finding out what the present proposal is all about will get a chance when the sterring committee for the pro - Blyth Council Continued from Page 1.. No further action has been taken. Council apparently agreed that a council reaction system is not necessary. In agreeing with the letter sent to council by Don Eadie (see elsewhere in this issue) of Turnberry township, Councillor Fred Carson said it would only be setting one more unneeded department. Building permits were issued to Dalton McLelland for a garage and storage shed, Phyllis Street 'for a 40 foot by 24 foot storage shed and Bruce Falconer. and Mell Mathers for houses. A severance was allowed to Triple K Restaurant to expand its present area. posed council will hold a public information meeting on Septem- ber 28 at 8 p.m. in Central Huron Secondary School. The purpose of the meeting is to let people know the function of such a council. Mr. Stephen Skorcz of the Ministry of Health will attend the meeting. ***** While work is proceeding on the new arena with a target date of mid-November for the installa- tion of ice for the winter, up in Teeswater they've run into a snag. In their hopes to have _their new arena ready for the big fall fair in October. Steel beams are hard to come by and delivery date has been set back two weeks causing them some real head- aches. We understand at this time at least, that , no such problems are expected in Blyth. ***** Believe it or not, it's just about election time again in the local municipalities. At present, if they stick , to their early pronounce. ments, most of the present Blyth council is planning on stepping down at the end of the term leaving a lot of vacancies to be filled. Hopefully there'll be a good deal of interest again this year and we'll have a rousing election as there was two years ago. ***** As of Monday night's council meeting, there was "still a good chance," according to clerk Larry Walsh, that Blyth could get a 24 -unit apartment project. Some 26 persons have given their committment to locate in the building once it (if it) is completed. Ontario Housing Cor- poration' had promised to build the apartments if 20 people would guarantee to locate in the building. ***** While Blyth Summar Festival had been making professional theatre do veru well in Blvth. the amateur Blyth Little Theatre needs help. The local group had a hit show last spring in Barefoot in the Park, but the ranks of theatre workers have been thinned in recent times and new members, both people interested in acting and people interested in helping organize and work on the shows are needed. If you're interested in helping any way, you're asked to come to the annual meeting of the group at the Blyth Library on September 30 at 8 p.m. Plans for the coming season will be made at that time. A faithful long-time correspon- dent for The Standard, Mrs. Charles Smith will soon be leaving her duties as Westfield correspondent. It means a new correspondent is required for the area.

M4* �'rop, WAYNE GRUB 'Tis Show Biz Front Page Challenge going strong after 20 years THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 15, 1976, PG, 3, BY VONNI LEE A 20th anniversary is good reason to celebrate - because in these fast-moving days of pro- gress it is an accomplishment to stick with anything for 20 years. It is even more of an accomplish- ment to make yourself appealing and keep your outlook fresh for 20 years. But :"Front Page Challenge" has done it, Pleasing a fickle public and remaining popular all those years, it celebrates its good fortune next Monday evening, the 20th, with a special hour-long anniversary version as it moves into its 20th year. No one can quite pin down its winning formula, Is it the people who appear every week? Is it the special guests? Is it the headline stories? How can it stay on the air when all other panel shows run but of wind? (The other popular panel show, "This Is The Law" is folding this year after several years on the CBC,) Perhaps the answer is that it is all of these, The panel members and Fred Davis definitely have audience appeal, even if Sinclair does have a big mouth! The guests, many of whom would not go on any other show to talk about their stories, have been from all walks of life andaroused our anger, disgust, sympathy and excitement as they bring to life the stories we previously were able only to read about. Fred Davis has been moderator of the show since its inception in 1957, His experience with the entertainment world dates back to the late 30s and 40s when he was leader of a dance band, During the war he served as a member of the Canadian entertainment troupe and after his discharge, he won a scholarship •to Lorne Greene's Academy of Radio Arts in Toronto. He was an announcer and disc jockey with an Ottawa station, later became program director of that station and in 1953 joined the National Film Board as a commentator. In addition to his work on Front Page Challenge, he is featured in a number of commercials and is head man of , the Wintario television draws, The secret of Fred's success is probably the fact that in all things he remains unruffled, The studio could be burning down around him and Fred Davis would still be smiling calmly! Everyone's idea of the perfect gentleman, Fred is natural and charming. He and his wife Jo have three children and live in Toronto. Another beginner with the i show and still hanging, in, is Pierre Berton, Pierre was born in the Yukon and grew up in Dawson City where he worked in mining camps to pay his way through university. After graduating from the University of British Columbia, he worked, for the Vancouver News Herald before Man to serve at mission in Switzerland The Ambleside Branch will certainly miss Fred Lorch of Teeswater, during the next tem years. Fred has been called on ,a mission to Switzerland, and is now Utah for a short training period, before leaving for Europe. President and Mrs. Ed Fischer Cliff •.1, hosted a going -ay.,.: party for Fred, so all of the members eould wish him their best. The women at the church had a delightful time at the Elders Quorum Social. The men conducted a varity of games, the'i served a delicious strawberry Seaborn :1' Harriston, Mr. and Mrs. DI 14 Tulett and Mrs. Louis Ma,.. of Teeswater, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Conlbeck of Ripley. Following the Temple Ceremonies, several of the couples drove to Palmyra, New York, where they took in the Mormon Pageant. This pageant is held annually, and is an elaborate dramatization of some of the happenings in the scriptures. The costumes and sound effects are marvellous, and each night of the week-long pageant is attended by several thousand guests. There is no charge for the performances. Saturday afternoon there was a good turnout for the Branch picnic. Winners of the nail driving contests were Marg Tulett of Teeswater, for the women, and Tom Weaver of Blyth, for the men. The women's race showed that Lynn Sellars, Sylvia Fischer and Susan Patarek arc three ladies that can't be beat! The kiddies loved the shoe scrambles, relays and races. Following the sports events, all enjoyed a delicious pot luck supper. • short -cake lunch, and best of all • the Elders did the dishes! What a'a \ ROAD •READY, ECONOMY•SIZED lovely treat for the ladies! The fathers and sons enjoyed an overnight camp -out near Cargill recently. • Some of the fellows were so ambitious that they even built their own shelters and slept under them. Others pitched tents, while some slept in station wagons. They all enjoyed the ghost stories around the campfire at night, and the sports and outdoor cooking during the day. Mrs. York of Teeswater, kindly gave the ladies lessons in macrame at two of the Relief Society Homemaking Meetings. It's wonderful to sec all the plant hangings and the dark brown owls that have been created. Congratulations to Marin n Yates of London and Keith Threndylc of Hanover.

Blyth, .Ont. • Phone_b13-9581 serving in the war, In 1947 he started working for Maclean's Magazine and soon was named managing editor. In 1958 he resigned that job to write 'a ' column for the Toronto Star and devote more time to broadcast- ing. In addition to his FPC work, he has written several best- selling books. He also hosted his own televisor show for many years. He and his wife and family make their home at Kleinburg. At 75, Gordon Sinclair can probably claim the most exper- ience and would probably claim the most wisdom of anyone on the FPC panel. He was born in Toronto and was a high school dropout, working as a bank teller; bookkeeper, factory worker, farm labourer and even in a slaughter house. He served in the First World War and in the early 20s began reporting for the Toronto Star. After 21 years, during which he travelled 360,000 miles and produced eight books, he moved into radio. In 1944, it was the CFRB news department that boasted the brains of Mr. Sinclair. Not always popular for his attacks on guests and tactless questions, Sinclair nevertheless has quite a following. A fellow journalist says "his greatest failing is his bluntness...his greatest virtue: his bluntness", s s s which about sunis him up. He May be loved, he may be hated, but he is never ignored. When FPC began broadcasting in 1957, the female part of the panel was actress Toby Robins. Though she looked lovely, - she wasn't too hot on news stories and besides, she wanted to be an actress, When she left in 1962 to seek fame and fortune in England, she was succeeded by Betty Kennedy, not the beauty that Toby was but with a natural charm and sharp mind that made' everyone admire her. Born in Ottawa, Betty worked for the Ottawa Citizen .before going to Montreal where she was a fashion co-ordinator. It was there that she met her husband, Gerhard Kennedy, at that time a fashion designer. She later worked in Calgary and Ottawa, becoming women's editor at CFRB in 1959. Admiration for her grew last year when she worked through much difficulty after discovering her husband was dying of cancer. For one tearful sleepless week after. his death.she poured out her grief in the book "Gerhard: A Love Story". Three grown sons and a teenaged daughter were her support and recent announce- ment has been made of a fall marriage as she seeks to rebuild her broken life. ..AT BEST BUY PRICES Whale or half S.P.

Let's put brakes on big trucks • We were travelling through a little village in the area one day this week, doing just about the speed limit (in this case a healthy 40 miles per hour) when a large truck thundered by going at least 20 miles per hour over the limit. About the only remarkable thing about the situation was that we'd just met a police car going the other way not 30 seconds earlier, The speeding isn't very remarkable because trucks do it all the time. Over the years there has been a myth built up that truck drivers are not only the most capable but the most careful and considerate drivers on the road. It's plain hogwash. The majority of truck drivers today think they own the road and that since they're bigger than others using the road that they have the right to do anything they please. Speed limits are only a nuisance to them so they ignore them. Small towns are just spots on the map that are an inconvenience to truckers trying to make good time. Nearly any village you can name from the tiny hamlets to the centres the size of this have the same problems if it is on major thoroughfares; Truckers don't want to slow down because it takes them a long time to get their speed up on the other side of town, so they ignore the posted speed limits and blast their way through town as if it was open highway. .Now and then the provincial police make halt -hearted attempts to enforce the Jaw but when they do, they're usually scuttled because using their citizens band radios, the truckers warn each other that the police are watching. As soon as the police leave, the all -clear signal goes out and it's off to the races again. But someday, there is going to be a tragedy in these little towns. Someday some hot -shot truck driver is going to find tat he can't stop his truck on a dime like he thinks he can. The problem is that it's going to be some little child or some innocent driver pulling out from a corner who pays the price for the stupidity of the trucker and he lack of law enforcement by the police. If the trucker had small children that lived along the main street of one of these towns, he'd likely slow down. If the police officers had clYildren playing near the streets of the little towns, maybe they'd be doing more to enforce the speed limits, but in both cases, there's no personal improvement and it's easy to brush off the speeding as a minor complaint. someday,' however, it won't be so easy to brush off when someone lies dying under the wheels of one of those big trucks. It's time the people of the small towns along busy highways banded together to fight for some consideration. Parents and municipal officials need to bitch and bitch and picket and protest until police make a concerted effort to stop this lawlessness. Police show great concern over the pranks of youth, but it's about time they showed concern with the speeding situation because it's as bad as if someone was running around with a loaded gun: sooner or later somebody's bound to get badly hurt. We know the troubles the police have, but a concerted effort (not just an odd speed trap) will slow the drivers down. We need that effort and everyone involved should make sure the police know we need it. Don't wait until your own child or grandchild is a victim. Food reserves Huron Perth separate 'board studies redistribution BY WILMA OKE When copies of the redistribu- tion of school board members for the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board were handed out at a board meeting in Dublin Monday night, concern was expressed by the Stratford trustees over the reduc- tion from four trustees to three to be elected to the board for 1977 to represent the City of Stratford. Trustee Donald Crowley of Gadshill noted that the number of representatives will be unchang- ed, only the distribution changed to seven from Perth County and seven from Huron County. (Presently on the board there are eight from Perth and six from Huron). Stratford trustee Ron Marcy was especially concerned that in Stratford, with representation based on assessment, it is on residential assessment only with commercial not added in. He considered this unfair compared to rural areas where it is on farm assessment, not residential only. Director of Education John Vintar proposed that a resolution be sent to the Minister of Education to show how the board members were reacting to the impact of the redistribution. When Howard Shantz of Stratford made a motion that the resolution be sent, John O'Drow- sky of St. Mary's said, "This is a great injustice here. I would make a motion to table the motion until the next meeting on September 27 and name a committee to take time to study this carefully." A committee composed of Ronald Marcy, Howard Shants, Ted Geoffrey of Zurich, Business Administrator Jack Lane and John Vintar was named to recommendations for a resolution to the Minister of Education. Mr. Marcy suggested that Mr. Lane contact the regional office of The concept of a world food bank is not new. It has been proposed at regular intervals by United Nations officials, agriculturalists, politicians and church leaders. Now a leading Canadian poultry breeder, Donald M. Shaver of Cambridge, says such a world food bank would be global insurance against hunger. Every country should first maintain agreed minimums levels of food in stock to ensure against national shortages. An additional quantity, says Shaver, would be set aside for disaster relief. and a third reserve would be kept to feed the hungry around the world. The richer countries would have to help pay for building up stocks in poor nations. The idea is indeed an admirable one and should be pursued by the great powers, and by international organizations such as the United Nations. the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Health Organization, the World Bank and other bodies. But it must be remembered always that countless difficultues stand in the way -- ranging from national and individual greed in the affluent countries to indifference and corruption among leaders in the poor nations. Quite apart from that, the international community must not only face up to but solve the serious transportation and storage difficulties that exist. Stored food spoils easily, especially in lands where refrigeration is a luxury and where storehouses let in both rain and vermin. Yet in the end what should be said is this: The concept of a world food bank is a lofty ideal, and one that will be realized when the people of all nations exercise their political will to work together toward the betterment of mankind. The difficulties exist merely to be overcome. The earth, after all, produces the riches that feed humanity. Even India, with its impoverished millions, announced recently that it had —achieved an estimated grain output of 116 million tons. In the city of Rampur, a former princely state, palaces have been converted to gran stores. Wheat and rice are stored in temples throughout India. The earth pours out its food throughout the year. It is man who too often squanders and hoards it. The world food bank should be given much thought by all. For to this day, there remain too many millions who still go hungry all their lives. education at Waterloo to find out if the additional money that is to be available from the ministry for school boards can be used for an industrial arts and home econo- mics addition at St. Michael's School, Stratford. Mrs. Jean Stapleton was hired as a teacher of Grades 5 and 6 at St, Patrick's School, Dublin, effective September 1. Mr. Shantz and Mr. O'Drowsky were named to an ad hoc committee to arrange a presenta- tion to the two superintendents (Joseph Tokar and Alexander Easton) whoc have left the administrative staff, They are to buy a gift for another retiring employee (not named). Dublin Trustee Joseph Looby and Seaforth trustee Francis Hicknell were the only two trustees to vote against accepting the tender to Dave DeVries of Seaforth as custodian at the board office in Dublin from September 1, 1976 to September 1, 1977 at the same salary he received last year of $4,000. Mr. Looby objected on the basis of lower tender of $3,000 was made by Frank Williams of Dublin. Mr. Looby was told by the personnel committee that Mr. Williams, who has a full time job with the board as custodian of St. Patrick's School and the Kinder- garten Room, had not given his tender on the proper tender form confirming his duties pertaining to the work as had the other two applicants. As well the committee members felt he would not have sufficient time to do the work at the board office with his full-time work at the school. Mr. Crowly presented a copy of the proposed agenda for the official blessing of the addition to St. Patrick's School at Kinkora on October 31, when Bishop Sher- lock of London will be present. A comic situation developed BY KEITH ROULSTON Things must really be tough these days for people who love television, but hate televised sports. There used to be two times a year when people were even vaguely interested in sports glued themselves to the television for days in a row: the Stanley Cup playoffs and the World Series (during one of which our television, I remember as a youngster, was invariably broken every year). Even if it were just those two occasions, it would still be tough for the non -sports fan. For one thing the Stanley Cup playoffs now go on for months. But this year has seen so much more. First we had the Olympics when there just wasn't anything to watch but hour after hour of running, swimming, weightlifting or gymnastics. And now, of course, there's the Canada Cup, and if there aren't games on the tube, then there's somebody talking about the games or showing replays. And, I must confess, I love it, though it might lead to a divorce in the family if the series went any longer. (And as usual the TV conked out soon after the series started and didn't come back from the repair shop until the Canada Russia Game on Saturday (the wife thought that was great, until I turned on the radio and listened there). There's something exciting: about having the whole country behind one team for a change, not when Mr, Crowley asked the board members to give approval to the wording on a plaque for the school which the Stratford archi- tects wished to donate to the board. Mr. Crowley had a copy of the wording on the proposed gift listing the names of the present board members and other perti- nent information. Mr. Crowley said that when the school was built in 1966 no plaque was put on the building and he asked permission to add the names of the three trustees on the former 1966 school board plus that of the secretary treasurer. He said he was sure the architects would accept the additional wording as the same architects and builders erected the school that year. What followed Mr. Crowley's simple request was amazing •- a long involved discussion on plaques, updating plaques, not putting up any plaques until all schools could have new plaques or updated plaques, not doing anything until the cost of all this could be ascertained, motions made, amendments to motions made, motions withdrawn, amendments withdrawn, new motions made, new amendments made When the final vote was taken, Mr. Crowley appeared a bewild- ered man. Mr. Crowley was more con- founded when another motion was proposed that he accept the plaque from the architects with the added names if all were given free with no charge to thc board. "Do you mean i can go ahead with the additional names?" he asked. Then several trustees spoke up to explain what they thought they had been voting on. With this Joseph Looby interrupted, "Better 'watch out, Crowley, or you will loes the whole thing!" It's great for hockey fans but tough for rest having its 'loyalties divided a few dozen ways as during the regular hockey series. And there's something awe insiring about seeing so many great stars on one team, and at the same time knowing there is at least an equal number of talented stars who for one reason or another couldn't be on the team. It's reassuring to know that we still have the greatest depth of hockey talent in the world. A great fuss was made, for instance, because a few of the big stars of past national teams from the Soviet Union weren't with the team this year. Not bringing them, everyone said, weakened the team. No one, however, said anything about the fact that there arc only a handful of repeats from the Canadian squad that beat the Russians in 1972 and only one from the 1974 team. We take it for granted that we have that kind of depth that ' we can interchange people without a loss of quality. Other teams don't. And of course our team has been winning, often impressively. But the thing that's made me most proud is not the fact. that we've been winning or that we may take home the Canada Cup, but the class our players have shown. The 1972 series was marred by some dirty play and disgusting exhibitions by some of the Canadian players. Even the goodwill ambassadors of the1974 team created a good deal of hard feelings, Last year's win by Philadelphia over the' Soviet Union was accomplished by that teams usually belligerant style. But the Canadian team has been class all the way. There probably hasn't been a more gentlemanly team on the ice. it's a team that skates hard, checks with devastating impact and is always fighting for the puck, yet we've usually taken fewer penal- ties than our opponents (even the once simon pure Swedes) and never ever fought. 'l'hc roughest, dirtiest hockey exhibited in thc series were the games between traditional European rivals.. The Russia Czechoslovakia game, the Russian -Sweden game and the Sweden -Czechoslovakia game were all full of far more roughness and down right dirty hockey than the Canadian games. After watching those games it is a little tiring to' hear the Russians again accusing the Canadians of deliberately trying to injure their team. It is even more upsetting to 'see other countries like the Czechs picking up the story. Surely we've seen enough poor sportsmanship by the Russians in the past few months (remember the Olympics) to give then little heed. This country that has so often accused Canadians of being poor sports. has been acting like it invented the phrase. It's hogwash and we know it, and surely they must know it themselves.

Beefrnen'splight helps beat inflation; Gracey says BY WILMA OKE "Inflation is being fought on the backs of the beef producers more than any other group," Charles A. Gracey, Toronto, manager of the' Canadian Cattle- men's Association, told a group of 176 beef producers atan information meeting held' at the Pine Ridge Chalet at Hensall, September 1, Mr, Gracey said the federal government is quite content to let them carry more than their fair share in the battle against inflation, and "there is little interest in Ottawa in letting you off the hook", He cited the information that low beef prices have been mentioned repeatedly as a major factor in the decline in the consumer price index, Mr, Gracey stated a number of unpredictable factors have fouled up the cattle market this year. He outlined the main reasons: the massive increases in imports from .Young Belgrave native killed in crash The Belgrave community was shocked Friday afternoon by the sudden death of a young former resident of the community, Mary Anne Makas, the former Mary Anne Wheeler of London was stopped in her car at the intersection of Highway 4 and Middlesex county: road 5 waiting to make a left hand turn when her car was struck from behind, sending it into the path of an on -coming car, She died shortly afterward in Exeter. She was 22 years of age. The daughter of Kenneth and Mabel Wheeler of Belgrave, she had been educated at East Wawanosh Public School, F. E. Madill Secondary School, Alma College, St. Thomas and Fanshawe College, London. She was' married on July 20, 1974 in Knox Church, Belgrave to Vincent Makas, She was a law clerk and at the time of her death was on her way to the Huron County Registry office in Goderich to search a title for her employer, the firm of Coker and Melnitzer, Besides her husband and her parents, she is survived by one brother, Ivan of Oarrie, and grandmothers Mrs. Pearl Wheeler and Mrs. C. R. Coultes. The funeral service took place on September 13 from the Knox United ,Church, Belgrave with Rev. John G. Roberts, officiating. .Interment was in Brandon Cemetery, Belgrave. Serving as pallbearers were Bob Smith, Ivan Wheeler, Robert Taylor, Bill Wheeler, Grant Vincent and Richard Anderson. Flowerbearers were Clifford Coultes and Elmer Bruce. ' Funeral preparations were by the S; J. Walker Funeral Home, Wingham. No strike expected The Huron County Board of Education ratified its Salary Negotiations Committee's recommended contract settled with the county's secondary school teachers at its meeting in Clinton on September 7. As the final proposal drawn up between negotiators for the teachers and the board has yet ,to be ratified by the general membership of the Secondary School Teachers' Association no details of the proposed agreement were made public. The Board heard details of the agreement in closed session and only voted to approve it during the regular meeting. The teachers were expected to vote on the' offer Monday and board chairman Herb Turkheim said he was hopeful the settle- ment would be ratified at that time. If such is the case Director of Education, John Cochrane is expected to announce details on Tuesday. Negotiations are also underway between the board -and its more than 300 elementary *school teachers. Another round of bargaining is set for this week but Chairman Turkheim said he was hopeful an agreement would be forthcoming in the near future. When asked about the possibility of , a strike he said he saw no reason to expect such action.. , A request from John Stringer, principal of the Goderich and District Collegiate Institute, for the board to provide additional locker space at G,D,C.I. was referred to the Budget Committee with power to act. In his letter Mr. Stringer noted that over 200 students would be sharing lockers in the fall term. As these lockers have only one shelf, students find locker sharing most inconvenient, he said. "Last year we had more complaints, and dealth with more problems concerning lockers than any other issue," he added. Mr.. Stringer asked that the request be treated. as urgent because of the inconvenience Tor students, the adverse effect on! student morale, and the inequal- ity of the present arrangement (members of the same family, share the lockers; therefore, parents with more than one child in the school are. .being penalized)., off -shore of low priced beef • 58 percent increase over last year. He asked, "Why should Canada be the only dumping ground for beef when we have a tremendous surplus ourselves?" Continuing Mr. Gracey said, ,"One of .the biggest factors that has hurt you has been in the high retail mark-ups in the United States which have depressed American prices at least $5 per hundred weight. This decrease has been felt across the border into Canada." Mr. Gracey said the surplus of beef in Canada is mainly caused by the high rate of heifer and cow marketing which was high last year and this year again is exceeding all expectations with heifer kill 15 percent above last year and cow kill 18 percent above. "It goes without saying, of course, that if we weren't marketing so many heifers and cows, our domestic prices would have " been stronger." He explained the main•cause of the icreased numbers is the poor return in the cow -calf sector that has led to the very heavy heifer and cow marketings. ' Mr. Gracey critized those farmers who hold cattle beyond acceptable market weights to increase the dollar value. He said, "especially when we have an oversupply of beef these animals should go to market as soon as ready". Mr. Gracey said the on again, off again, federal dairy policy has been a minor factor in increasing cow markctings but that it has softened recently. He warned that if the dairy surplus problem is not solved, and he strongly suggested that it has not, then the dairy cow markctings would increase, caus ing a major problem. In conclusion, Mr. Gracey saia that after ..II the bad news is in, he ' predicted that the industry fundamentals are changing and that reduced breeding herdsin both.

Newman praises farmers at I.P.M. sod turning Before turning the first furrow for the International Plowing Match near Walkerton, Minister of Agriculture and Food for Ontario William G. Newman told a gathering of press and exhibitors that he felt the future was very bright for the future of agriculture in Ontario. He observed that agriculture has doubled its production in the span of 15 years which, he said, was more than other industry has done. "Ontario is blessed with some of the finest agricultural land anywhere and some of the finest farmers anywhere," he said. "I think all of us know from past experience that when the price is right the Ontario farmer can produce all the products we can ever use in our province." Mr. Newman admitted however, that the price was not right. Speaking of the depressed market for beef calf producers he recalled that Ontario had intro- duced a price support program for beef last year. "I'm happy to say," he added, "it has been well received." Some 12,000 farmers enrolled more than 312,000 cows in the plan last year and received net payments of $72. per cow, or a total of $22,5 million, he said. This year the program has been even more popular. Applications are still being processed, the minister explained, but it appears that about 15,000, producers have registered more than 36,000 cows, The support price will remain at 50 cents a pound, the same as last year. Mr. Newman said .the cow -calf program was introduced to help offset disastrously low market prices in the beef industry, which accounts for about 20 percent of Ontario's Agricultural cash. receipts. "The industry was recovering nicely until beef started driving our cattle Exeterunrestricted imports of off•shorefarm firm price down and created extreme financial problems for many Ontario producers." price for various commodities," quota and price setting he explained, "averaged over the authority." previous five years and adjusted for increases in production "You will recall that the bill costs." was refused second reading," he pointed out, "so that it could proceed to the committee stage where farmers and their organiza- tions could say what they thought of it, Instead, the government "While we continued to press was instructed to provide a public for improvements in the Federal forum for full discussion with the plan, 'Bill 96 would cov,er all farm community before Ontario producers of commodities re -introducing a plan that would not yet covered nationally, except j be open to all producers on a for those already protected by I voluntary and 'contributory marketing boards which have basis."

The champion, winner of 75 silver dollars on a silver tray, was nineteen year old Scott Stewart of R.R.114, Bolton. The winning score was 801 of a possible 1000 points. Points were awarded for answering a senior level quiz, for an essay, for his 4H calf and for showmanship. Scott did not have the top score in any division but scored high in every division, winning the top prize through aIl•rounc ability. Reserve Chari ion and only 11 points below the. overall winner was Gary Oxby of Moorefield, who received fifty silver dollars on a silver tray. • Honorable Mention, with 783 points went to Don Wilkin of Palmerston. He received twenty five silver dollars on a silver tray. All division winners received twenty five dollar prizes. Gary • Oxby had the. best quiz, Lori. Robertson of Phclpston wrote the best essay, and Donna ,Stewart of Hornby won top honours for both showmanship and best calf. High scorer for Huron county was Jim Nivins, Auburn. The Canadian Cattlemen's Association has estimated that beef imports increased 52 percent in the first half of this year compared to the same period in 1975. The Federal Department of Agriculture places this increase at only 25 percent. • "Even the lower figure is clear evidence of the urgent need for a meat import law which would set quotas," Mr. Newman said... "The United States has such a law, and our producers deserve the same kind of protection. I have sent Ottawa two telegrams urging thc,introduction of such a law as soon as possible," he said, "and I have also raised the issue in discussiions with Mr. Whelan, but there has been no Federal action yet." "1 will continue pressing for a meat import law," the minister promised, "because Ontario pro- ducers have suffered such serious losses that I'm afraid they'll cut back production to the point where they jeopardize future Canadian beef supplies." As another measure to strengthen the agricultural economy Mr. Newman pointed to his introduction of Bill 96 during the last session of the legislature to provide a farm income stabilization plan for Ontario. The Ontario plan was designed to operate basically at the same level of support as the Federal program so that it wouldn't disturb the existing market system or obstruct a meaningful expansion of the national program, according to Mr Newman. "It would set support prices equal to 90 percent of the market wins government award Kongskilde •: Exeter, Ontario, been selected by the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism, for presentation of the "A" for achievement award. Of 14,000 eligible secondary manufacturers in Ontario, only seven or eight arc singled out each year, for the prestigious award. The award is for outstanding achievement, based on the past three years of operation. The criteria for choosing the winners, includes increasing exports, reducing imports, increasing production facilities, and the successful introduction of new products. On August 26, the Honourable Claude Bennett, Minister of Industry and tourism, visited the company headquarters in Exeter, and presented to President John Burke, and staff, the official "A" award plaque and the "A" flag.

A program was planned to include a variety of topics • a film and discussion on nutrition, a fashion show, and a craft session featuring Macrame plant hangers. The highlight of the evening was a joint banquet with the Agricultural club members at the 'I'op•of-the-Fair Clubhouse. Club members also had the opportun- ity to view the evening grandstand show, been calling for increased •milk production for three years, and the provinces had responded with incentiyes for producers, he recalled, Dairy surpluses resulted and Ottawa ordered sharp cutbacks in ,production. Ontario's share of national milk production was reduced 15 percent and a levy of $8.60 per hundredweight was imposed on farmers who exceeded their quotas; "The Ontario Milk Marketing Board • has taken over quota allocations, buying up quota as it becomes available and reselling it to those with the greatest need. Some unused quota is in the hands of producers who, by their production records so far, are unlikely to use •it in the current dairy year," he said. "The board plans to encourage them to sell or lend that unused quota to other producers who really need it." All quotas available through a so-called sleeve in the national dairy policy is being distributed on the basis of need, he explained. Ontario still intends to comply with the federal quota allocations. However, in the event of a small amount of over.quota production at the end of the dairy year, the Ontario government will pay $7.25 of the $8,60 levy per hundredweight. "We have also arranged a two year extension of the repayment period for all loans under Ontario's industrial milk production incentive program," he said. spite of mu, . Ne11‘1?man saidthese heeasvrasresstilMrl concerned that some producers may not have enough quota to carry them through the balance of the dairy year.

Study Are you anxious BY STANLEY C. MCDONALD LONDESBORO UNITED CHURCH Are you anxious about something? 1 would not be surprising if you were for one of the most apparent things of our day is anxiety written upon the faces of the men and women we meet, Like Martha of old they arc troubled about many things. Fathers and mothers are worried about their children; people are worried about their surities, windering if they have made sound investments, They read the paper, listen to the radio, watch the television, they go to bed with disturbed minds and sleep fitfully. If we are to take our counsels merely from the world about us we shall find our souls tormented with anxiety. Itis good to know that Jesus saw the problem, As he went about his ministry, he, too, saw how fretful and anxious people could be, He saw them overborne by their worries and fears, He beheld them breaking down under the stress and strain of life, So in that greatest of all sermons he said to them: "Be nor anxious for your life," Now what are these things about which we are apt to become anxious? To analyze our anxieties often results in their solution, A few years ago a businessman drew up what he called "A Worry Chart". He discovered that 40 per cent of his worries were about things that probably would never happen. Thirty per cent of his worries concerend past decisions that he could not now unmake, Twelve per cent of his worries dealt with other people's criticisms of him. His worries about his health were 10 per cent of the total. He concluded that only eight per cent of his worries were really legitimate, What is this businessman trying to say? Really this: first, stop being anxious over what 'may' happen tomorrow. How many of us miss the glories and beauty of today because -we are worrying about tomorrow. God only asks us to live one day at a time,..in fact one moment at a time, 2 - Let us stop being anxious about past decisions. What was done, was done. It is now water under the bridge. Let us learn what is to be learned from wrong decisions and not waste time in vain regrets. 3 - 12 per cent of the businessman's 'Worry Chart' consisted of our concern over the criticisms other people make of us. if those criticissms are well founded, let us face them frankly and then go on to better living. Let our prime concern be to do our duty to God and man. And if we are doing our work as we ought we shall have little time to pay attention to the criticisms of others. in this matter of handling our anxieties it is well to remember that times of discouragement come to all of us. There is an ebb and flow in our spirit and it 'is true that we are not always up to par. Our mental, spiritual and emotional life is rooted in our Physical being and sometimes we get terribly worn with the strain of living. Our vitality fluctuates from day to day and there are times when we are easy prey to anxiety and discouragement. Now what positive things can we do to prevent anxieties or handle them when they come? First, it helps greatly to have a goal for living. Jesus set as his goal the Kingdom of God. 2 - Again when we are threatened by anxiety and worry it is good for us to go into action. Someone put it this way: "Don't get blue; get busy! 3 - There is a third suggestion 1 would make: Trust in God. There is a phrase in 1 Peter 5: 7 which runs "Casting all your anxiety upon him for he careth for you. It gives us a certain release when we come and lay our worries and anxieties at the feet of the great Father. 4 - Finally, have faith. Life is always in itself a venture of faith. Constantly we are having to place our confidence in things unseen, We must learn, therefore to take our counsel not from fear, but from faith, If we are plagued by anxieties, it would indicate we have not yet learned to live above fear, Let us therefore match every anxiety with a steadfast faith - faith in God and man, faith in the present and the future.

SEAFORTH 521-0120 111 PG. 12. THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 15, 1976, DEAR ANN LANDERS: How incredible that several of your readers (sparked by a "born- again Christian" who had cheat- ed on his taxes years ago) followed his example and sent sizable checks (made out to Ann Landers) and asked you to endorse them and forward same to the Internal Revenue Service. One check was for $4,000l Didn't they realize you could have pocketed the money and no one would have been any the wiser? How come you didn't tell them about the Conscience Fund, established for repentant individ- uals who had stolen or destroyed government property? Sonie con- tributors to the fund reveal their identities. Others do not. It has been the policy of the Treasury Department to protect the ident- ity of each and every contributor. The monies directed arc deposit- ed in the U.S. Treasury and Congress decides how they should be spent. The first deposit of conscious money was made during Presid- ent Madison's administration. An unknowns person claimed he had defrauded the government and sent in $5. Other deposits brought the totals for the year (1811) to $250. No further deposits v.erc made until 1927 when $6 was received. Perhaps you might want to recommend the Conscience Fund to others. --History Buff DEAR BUFF: Thanks for the nugget. The reason I didn't tell my readers about the Conscience Fund was because I didn't know about it. 1 do now, thanks to you, but I'm not•recommending that a former -tax -cheat -gone -straight reveal his identity to anyone. This isn't 1811, my friend. I'd hate to be responsible for the prosecution of some well-intentioned soul in the event the "rules" have changed. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I was very much offended by your reply to "Hirsute Hannah From Urban- a," the woman who hated to shave her legs and armpits. Why is it that women are made to feel ashamed of any hair that grows on them except that which is on the head? Meanwhile, men who walk around looking like gorillas are considered "sexy" and "virile." Hair on a male is touted as a great turn -on. I live in Canada and it gets mighty cold up here in the winter. Last year I had a long talk with my boyfriend about the shaving bit. I pointed out that hair helps keep a person warm and it would be real considerate of him if he'd revise his attitude. He said it sounded reasonable to him and would you believe he actually grew to, like my hairy legs? It's a relief not to be shaving all the time and 1 couldn't care less what people think. Please, Ann, encourage care less what other people think. Please, Ann, encourage your women readers to accept themselves as they are. Unfit is • blah: Parc/Parnon Fitness. In your heart }cru know it's right. Honesty best policy Society has imposed so much on us we are •- All Hung Up And Trying Too Hard DEAR TRYING: Any woman who has the desire (and guts) to face the world with hairy armpits and legs to match deserves high :narks for having the courage of her convictions. Speaking strictly for myself, I'm not quite ready for such heroics. CONFIDENTIAL to Who Start- ed It Anyway?: Backgammon is believed to be the first game known to man not based on physical strength.

Turnberry Councillor says county recreation Donald badie, deputy -reeve of Turnberry Township and a member of the Huron County Development . Committee, sent a letter to Blyth Village Council Council expressing his personal opinion concerning the proposed Recreation Areas for Huron. The content of Mr, Eadie's letter follows: "Recently meetings have been held to discuss Recreation Areas in the County, As a member of the Development Committee of County Council responsible for these meetings I would like you to consider a few points before our Committee makes a recommenda- tion to be presented to County Council at its next meeting. "It was stated at these meetings that the main problem with recreation was the lack of co-operation, cost sharing, distrust, and fear between local Municipalities. "I believe tilat this is not the case. The basic problem is the competition between the different forms of reaction available and a relatively small population spread across•the County. "I think we are all old enough ,to remember the days when local arenas and ball parks were full to. capacity for local games. This was before the impact of television and before people would drive 25, 50 or even 100 miles to a large centre for a specific occasion. I believe admission charges have not turned people away, but the fact is that there are hundreds of things for people to do these days, How much easier it was with a full house to keep local teams paying their own way. With the population of the County much the same as it was 25 years ago there just aren't enough people interested or able to take part in every function, "This problem with local sports seems to be worse in Towns than in the Rural areas. Why? With the extra activities available in Towns over the smaller commun- ities, the volunteers to help run the teams are spread too thin. As a result the job is left more and more to hired help. "At the last meeting of our Township Recreation Committee it was stated by several members that our main problem was to get coaches, managers and volun- teers to run the teams as well as collecting the members of teams for parents who are too busy or not interested enough to bring their children. "Should tax dollars be spent, no matter. .what the costs to support something people are not interested in? How many Greater grants for arenas announced by province A special Ontario Govern- ment program announced September 1 will provide up to 75 percent of the cost of repairing unsafe arenas in the province. Culture and Recreation Minister Robert Welch said provincial funds will come from a special Wintario program and through The Community Recrea- tion Centres Act. The remaining 25 percent is to be raised through public subscription.. "As a result," he said, "municipal tax rates should not be affected by the arena problem and communities can move ahead with the necessary repairs almost immediately." In a joint statement, Mr. Welch and Labour Minister Bette Stephenson, ' M.D., whose Ministry is responsible for safety standards, expressed confidence, that the special grant program will greatly minimize any disrup- tion of sports activities that could have resulted in municipalities had been unable to make the necessary structural changes. Mr. Welch and Dr. Stephenson also expressed optimism that their programs will assistthe re aired repairs or changes as children of Ontario to skate ,and 1 req p g. quickly as possible. Mr. Welch said field staff of his ministry and individual Members I of the Legislature are being asked to assist municipalities to use the. special grant program announced.• All applications for Wintario grants which have been made for use in repairing unsafe arenas and filed with the Ministry prior to today's announcement, will• be reviewed to give them the benefits of,the new•program, said Mr. Welch. Previously, provincial grants were available to cover half the cost of repairs but Mr. Welch said the provincial share was "It may be that some interim accommodations are possible, without in any way endangering public safety, Let me give an example: it may be found' that under certain conditions of snow and wind load, an' arena roof structure will be stressed some- what beyond limits. Nonetheless, through a combination of regular monitoring • by . the consulting engineer and continuous control and surveillance by the authori- ties in charge of the arena, the building nay still be used without risk of collapse. and, therefore, without risk of danger to the users. "In such case, the owner, in order to be permitted • to continue to operate the arena, would be required to have an acceptable design prepared and to have commenced work to permanently rectify the hazard and to be subject to monitoring inspection procedures and routines as prescribed • by a professional engineer." Both Mr. Welch and Dr. Stephenson expressed the hope that all arenas can make the play hockey with ,,the highest possible assurance of safety in arenas in this province. Engineers' reports have been received on 240 arenas. Of these 240, 49 have been found to be safe while 191 show structural defects. Of the 191, ten have only minor defects. Dr. Stephenson said that of the 191 with a range of structural defects, municipalities have indicated some will be demol- ished and some will be repaired. To date, 46 communities have had their plans for repair certified by the ministry. In all, 415 suspect arenas have been visited by Ministry of Labour staff. Dr. Stephenson said arenas with minor defects will be allowed to remain open if renovation and strict monitoring programs begin, In a letter to all operators of , suspect arenas, Dr. Stephenson has stated: "I 'realize, of course, that the closure of an arena could have a serious effect on the recreational and social activities of your community this winter, but I believe that we have a mutual obligation to ensure that an arena does not pose a hazard to those who use it. • "While public safety is niy prime.concern, I do not want to impose unnecessary restrictions. in my statement to the Legisla- ture on June 22 I described an alternative which could promote public safety while .enabling an arena to remain open." Dr, Stephenson told the Legislature: increased in order to help municipal taxpayers and avoid delays. The revised program will provide 25 percent of the cost of any repairs up to $75,000 for each facility affected through Tho, Community Recreation Centres Act. • Wintario will provide $2 for every $1 raised locally toward the remainder of the cost, Normally, Wintario grants arc limited to one third or, at the most, half of the balance and are $1 for $1 in most area's of southern Ontario. In order to allow municipalities to proceed immediately with repairs, the Minister said a pledge by a responsible commun- ity organization to the council to raise their share within three years will be accepted as proof of local support and provincial funds will be paid over progressively as construction takes place. Under the regular Wintario- supported programs, groups must raise their share and complete construction before receiving money from the lottery. Although the special Wintario program applies only to repairs necessary to restore existing arenas to a structurally safe condition, the Minister said some municipalities may decide to replace rather than repair older buildings. "In these cases, we will give Special treatment for an amount equal to the cost of repairs toward the new facilties and apply the regular Wintario formula to the balance," he said. Mr. Welch said• .he has instructed the staff administering the program to take a generous view of applications and avoid delay, so that local recreation programs are not ' unduly disrupted.

"Without volunteer help recreation will become a greater and greater financial burden on' the Taxpayer as have so many other government supported programs, "Many programs are encouraged so that Municipalities can collect a grant. Let's not kid ourselves as to who actually pays for these grants no matter which level of government hands it out. It is very easy to spend money if someone else appears to be footing the bill � • "If people are interested in a particular program they will pay their share to participate or go elsewhere, if a program . in one community attracts participants from outside its boundary it should be considered a benefit, not just cause to impose a surcharge. "it has been said that people cannot pay higher admission prices but can they afford higher taxes to support recreation when with such a system cost will most certainly be higher because of increased administration and the people will not have a choice whether they pay or not. "Many people complain that their taxes are too high now, Must we add the straw that will break the camel's back? "I feel that recreation is a luxury that we may enjoy watching or participate in during our spare time. needed "One of the recreation direct- ors maintains it is a necessity for our good health and well being. How healthy is the win -at -all -cost attitude in minor sport on the young people of today? "I feel that the people are trying to tell us something with their lack of interest and involvement. Why not listen to them instead of a few zealous civil servants trying to make their jobs appear more important than they really are.

The worship period was led by Mrs, Molly Grant and Mrs. Mary Wightman who attended the School for leaders at Alma College in August. They used ideas from the morning medita- tions which were held every morning in the beautiful chapel at Alma at which the Rev. Sue Seymore was the speaker. Mrs, Harold Campbell, who also attended the Alma School for leaders told some of the high- lights from the three day school where 142 women from London Conference met, The theme this year was, "Called to be". She said the offering from the Londesboro church service was to be sent to the destitute families of pastors in Korea, and for the furthering of Christian education at the Alma School, She told us about the Senior citizens who live at the new building at the school and what a wonderful experience this is for them and young people who are residents there. Mrs. Campbell left everyone with the feeling that it had been a real mountain top experience, said it was a most beautiful, ewarding, and educational time. When Mrs. Mary Wightman opened the business part of the meeting she also used a quote from the Alma School • "This is the ' first day of the rest of our lives" • and said "this is the first meeting of the rest of our meetings."

THE BLYTITANDARD, SEPTEMBER 15, 1976. By BILL SMILEY Last week 1 mentioned neigh- bors, and after I'd finished the column, I thought some more about mine, If you live in a city apartment, you'll probably never know your Bill's lucky with the neighbours he gets neighbor two doors down the hall, and will take two years before you are on nodding acquaintance with those next door, That's fine for some people. They actually like to retreat into their cells, and resent any encroachment on their so-called privacy. But if you live in a small town, in a house, you have neighbors, for better or worse, and you might as well relax and enjoy it. Neighbors are not an unmixed Rick Archambault at camp Rick Archambault of RR 1 Auburn spent September 5 September 12 at the Provincial Junior Farmer Leadership Train- ing Camp at Bark Lake in Haliburton County. Rick is one of four young people representing Huron ,County Junor Farmers at this camp, being attended by one hundred delegates from across Ontario. During the week, each member is expected to provide leadership to the program in various ways, whether it be planning the evening social event or vespers, sharing a camping skill or working on other activities. "Personal" leadership development is stressed through discussion and group exper- iences. Sessions on communica- tion, program planning, leisure activity and other topics of importance to local Junior,Farmer Clubs are a key part of the camp.

They defeated the Auburn squad 14 - 0. A one inning rally of 10 runs seemed to sow up the ball game for Manning's. Wayne McDougall pitched strongly throughout the entire seric allowing only four runs in 18 innings pitched. Strong bats at the plate with John Cooper and Jack Coultes really belting the ball, proved the difference. Manning's would like to thank their sponsor and fans for their support. Members of the winning team were Bruce Howson, Robbie Lawrie, John Cooper, Jack Coultes, Richard Chalmers, Bob Bromley, Wayne McDougall, Gary Manning, .

Next door was an old bat who was the quintessence of a bad neighbor. Everybody else at the lake was part of a big, happy family. Not so this one. She sneered and snarked and caused endless trouble. Finally, she ' put up a. fence between her property and ours, so we couldn't walk on her lawn, which was nothing but pine needles. We solved this by jumping the fence and walking across her pine needles, while she peered from behind the curtains, calling down curses on the brown, bare-footed vandals, That was a nasty one, and caused my mother, I'm sure, some anguish. But there aren't many like that. Most neighbors, like yourself, are pretty fine people, if you treat them as you wish to be treated by others. There is one thing about neighbors. They are like relat- ives. You can't pick and choose. You takes what you gets. You don't buy a house because of the neighbors, though it might be' a good idea to think about it. I've been lucky all my life, and I've been lucky in my neighbors. In the last town we lived in, they were the salt of the earth. One of them was even decent enough to have his• house burn down one night, in a spectacular fire, which 1 got my kids out of bed to watch. Something they'll never forget. 1 don't expect that kind of service from all my neighbors, mind you. That was being neighborly to the point of no return. But we've been in this house going on 20 years, and I couldn't have done better for neighbors if I'd handpicked them. On one side lives a carpenter and contractor.

Phone 523-4412 THE SMALLEST SHOP IN TOWN WITH THE BIGGEST VALUES! together without making a hand sandwich, it's better than having a fairy godmother. He is the soul of generosity when it comes to lending advice and nails. And when 1'tn standing looking 'stupidly at some project that would take me a week, he comes over, does it in eight minutes, and when offered pay, says: "forget it." • He also has a warm and pleasant wife and a son who has grown into a dandy snow -shovel- ler and lawn -cutter. On another side, my neiglIbor is a sailer. Don't see much of him in the summer, but in the spring, he whistles over the fence and holds out a big newspaperful of fresh smelt or perch . fillets. Had to cut down one of my oaks the other day that was threatening to fall on his house, It cost me $300, But who in his right inidd wouldn't trade mere money for a panful of fried smelt, and the spirit behind them? -Up the street a couple of houses lives Gabe. He is a former plumber, and still has the tools and the skills of his craft. When you have guests arriving, and the sink is plugged, and the regular plumbers are .having their four- day weekend, Gabe comes to the rescue, In 10 minutes the sink is slurphing water again. And Gabe doesn't want an arm, a leg, and your liver. Across the way lives John, a teacher, a. mathematical whiz, and a dciighter' in the solving of problems. For example. My wife is away for a week. I want to do a washing. 1 can't get the washing machine going. Call John. He whips 'across the street, through the snow, and in ff,e minutes the washing is thunking away. And when my wife is away, his wife nips across and puts • a jar of home-made soup inside my back door. When we go away for a few days, the neighbors keep an eye on the place, as though it were their own; pick up the newspap- ers, feed the cat, make sure the doors are locked, cut the grass if it needs, it. Perhaps best of all is the knowledge that they are there, if you need them. A sudden emergency, a minor calamity, and they'll be there to drive you, phone a doctor, bring food, whatever, This closeness might seem appalling to city folk, with their preoccupation with privacy. But good neighbors.don't live in each other's laps. They have their families; we have ours. • We don't encroach on their lives; they don't on ours. They have their friends: we have ours; and they're not necessarily the same. Poet Robert Frost summed it up, as poets so often do, when he intoned: "Good fences make good neighbors." And he wasn't just talking about fences. So there you are chaps. Let's sec you come up with a fisherman, a carpenter, a plumb- er, and a trouble-shooter, and I'd - say you're as lucky as 1 am, when it comes to neighbors. THINK ANEAD...sAv!
