Huron Federation. of Agriculture strongly supports O.M.M.B The meeting voted to support.' a committee organizing to support the. marketing board against milk producers angered by milk quota cutbacks which are hurting them. Strong supportfor the Ontario Milk Marketing Board was given by members of the Huron County Federation of Agricul- ture attending the monthly meeting in Clinton on Thursday night. Lyle Petteapiece of of Grey township told the meeting that there has been a lot of flack aimed at the milk marketing boards and most of it is unjustified. He said that No advantage to health council, ,brief says BY RON SHAW The Huron ,.County Federation of Agriculture voted ,last week to accept a brief for presentation to the . Steering Committee of the proposed Huron -Perth District Health Council "generally oppos- ing" the concept. "Although we feel there could be certain advantages in the field of better co-ordination of all health services," the brief, prepared by the education committee noted, "and possibly more local, input to our health scheme, we feel that additional costs woRuld probably outweight the advantages." • In the brief it was noted that although the estimated first year cost is $75,000 "vie - note that in Ottawa -Carleton the costs in the second year rose 33 per cent and it may be assumed will continue to rise." The F.O.A. asked if this money might not be better spent in other areas, such as keeping hospitals open and in the field of preventative medicine. "Furthermore", the brief said, "it could mean one more step between local hospital boards or boards of health and the health ministry, thus often slowing decision making." The brief said the Federation %vas also concerned that the council would achieve fiscal responsibility but afterward they could become the scapegoats for govern- ment decisions and spending cuts. "Having said this," the brief, presented by Doug Fortune conceded, "we feel that in the future, a Health Council will be forced on us either directly or indirectly, by great structures." He went on to recommend that the steering committee be prepared to take the necessary steps to implement a health council, but to wait as long as possible - before being forced, in order to gain experience from other councils and thus help avoid costly errors. "We feel that the council should have a clear indication of when it will be given fiscal responsibility in order to facilitate long range planning," the brief says. "We feel that it is unfair to ask people to serve on such a council on an unpaid (excepting expenses) basis. The quality of people needed for this council is such that they will be very busy active people and time lost from their professions could be very expensive. They are serving for the benefit of all people in the arca and, therefore, their costs should be borne by all, The H.F.A. said it felt that local hospital boards and boards of Health are necessary and should be retained, These boards, they say, understand best their local require- ments and, furthermore, Health Council members probably wouldn't have time to give adequate consideration to day to day affairs. The brief agreed with the concept of committees and suggested that hospital boards could be committees of the Health Council. Committee members, it noted, should be unpaid volunteers. The proposed composition of the new Council from "six providers, six consumers and three politicians" was "quite acceptable, providing that the six providers represent as many aspects of health care as possible, such as doctors, hospital board members and board of health members." The six consumers should represent as many viewpoints and backgrounds as possible, such as urban, rural, business- men, housewives and farmers, the brief says. The H.F.A. noted that "it is very difficult for persons not directly related to the health field to suggest meaningful functions of a health council." "However," the brief says, "the council should be aware of the total health needs of the area and ensure that, as far as possible, all services be available to all persons without costly duplications. Probably at the beginning, most of the District Health Council's time would have to be devoted to various health care studies before intelligent decisions could be made." The Federation had been asked by Medical Officer of Health for Huron Dr. Frank Mills to propose one or more names for nomination to the council. However the brief noted that "we feel it would be unrealistic to suggest nominations for Council Membership at this time," "We would be pleased to make such nomination nearer a time at which a Health Council would be set up." many milk producers are afraid that if the dissidents, under the name of S.T.O.M.P, go ahead with their threatened suit against the. O.M,M.B. they could do serious damage to the concept of controlled milk production. As well. pointed out Doug Fortune, Huron Federation past president and a milk producer, if the suit was successful it would be other dairy farmes who pay the bill since the board members aren't liable ,for such suits. Earlier in the meeting the proposal from the Perth County Federation of Agriculture to thv O,F.A, was studied, and for,the most part discarded, The brief called for abolition of the two -pool system of fluid milk and industrial milk and consolidation to one pool by October 1977. It realized that • some producers would have trouble bringing their industrial milk set ups to -the standard required for buildings, and sanitation so it called for a one-year period of grace for them to work into this slowly and two years for evening out milk production throughout the year. Spokesmen such as Mr. Fortune and Mel Knox of Hullett Township pointed out that the present graduated entry system does just that but over a longer period which they felt was necessary. In fact, one speaker said, those who drafted the proposal should have gotten hold of the present regulations before writing it up and could have saved themselves a lot of time. One proposal calling for a ceiling of $10 per pound for milk quota at present to be slowly reduced to nothing brought an angered reaction from dairy farmers present. Mr. Fortune pointed out that the farmers presently in the fluid milk pool paid an average of about $25 a pound for their quota and to suddenly give free quota was unfair to them. Besides, he said, quota always has a value somehow, if not on the quota itself then on the cows or some other angle. , • • PG, 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTQBRR 13, 1976. 25th annual BY MRS. E.

Unless you change channels, that is! For almost six years, Lloyd Robertson has smiled his good- nights and The National was over. The most popular newscast in Canada, on any network, remained in many minds, mainly because of the announcer, Now the CBC is losing its nAws anchorman and shame of it all is that he has left the high -sailing racer to join the floundering vessel; CTV News, He will be working with Harvey Kirck, a former CHUM announcer who has been that network's news anchorman for ,12 years. CBC has had a tough time with newsmen. 1 remember in the 50s when television sets were relatively neer and news was just as bad as it is now, Larry Henderson was the CBC anchor- man, He left after personal problems got in the way of his reporting, then Earl Cameron took over. But Cameron got a little too personal for the news broadcasts and he bit the dust. Then came Robertson, a nice neat good-looking clean-cut kid vrho looked like every mother's favourite son. Perhaps Western Ontario identified with him; after all, he had married a perky little school -teacher from Stratford, why couldn't we claim hint as our very own? We got to know him well, What he told us wasn't neves, it Bras gospel. And amid all the rotten neves he gave us, it was kinda nice to drift off to bed with the image of his smiling face before your eyes, even if there wasn't much to smile about! It all came as a bit of a blow to CBC viewers, There was no word. a on his backside, and throws him into, of all things, a motorcycle race over a rough obstacle course, You can be sure it will be fine entertainment, You can also be sure there will be a lesson to be learned from the beloved Charles Schultz. characters, Charlie especially, who through so many obstacle courses of life, always manages to learn something and come out a better little man, Saturday of this week will see the beginning of the World Series baseball series, always a nice way to spend crisp tall afternoons if you're fond of the game. As this is being c,ritten, 'tis not known who the final teams will be but no doubt, if you're interested, you'll know by noir! And here we are again with seasonal sports over- lapping, hockey beginning last Saturday on the CBC. Yuck! Dig .out the "inter woollies; here comes Jack Frost! he was unhappy with the network, nor vice -versa. He had been. with the CBC since 1954 as an announcer and in 1962 he started reporting the weekend news. But Robertson granted more than that. Tired of only reading the news, he wanted to be active on the production end of it and do more writing, editing and reporting. But he never got the network convinced. So he has left for CTV where supposedly he will get to do some of this. It is indeed a loss for the CBC. The National has been the top news show for some time and no natter hova you say The News is the real star, tain't so, The loss of Robertson will hurt - and plenty. 'l'he winner in the deal will be CTV. His first newscast for CTV will be October 15. No replacement has been named to the CBC position. ****** For your kids and for you, this Friday at 8, preempting Mary Tyler Moore, will be another Peanuts special. This time, "You're a Good Sport,. Charlie Brown", takes Charlie out of the baseball field where he is a consistent loser and, off the football field where an obnoxious Lticy always manages to land him Smile - if you think you're in shape.

PG. 3, Huronview residents entertained by old tyme music Old Tymc music and sing -along program was held in the normal care sitting room on Monday afternoon.

The Clinton Kinetic Club entertained their adopted grand- mothers at the Little Inn, Bayfield on Tuesday afternoon. The 40 grandmothers travelling by cars provided by the Kinetics and the van took the scenic route over to Bayfield and were treated to a delicious tea in the dining room of the Inn, Many thanks to the Club and the Little Inn for their hospitality.

PG, 4. TILE MYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 13, 1976. Double standard Throughout the hitter year of the Nixon Presidency and particularly during the growing murk of the Watergate Scandal, Richard Nixon claimed that most of his problems were (IOC to the eITorts of the eastern Liberal establishment press to discredit hint. Later events, of course, were to prove that Nixon's problems weren't really just a figment ot'the press' imagination, that his administration was more corrupt than even his opponents had dared to, suggest, Yet, there was some point in his accusations. Would, one wonders, the stone diligence have been used to ferret out wrong doing if the president in question had been a darling of the eastern press? The double standard of the big-time media in the U.S. is evident once again in the gigantic fuss over the interview Jimmy Carter gave to Playboy magazine. Cartoons such as the one of Carter looking at the statue of Liberty and imagining it as a naked woman have been widely publicized. Carter in the interview attempted to show that those who tried to hold hint up as a self•annointed saint were wrong, that he was a human being just like others. Instead. he has been made out to be a closet adulterer. leering at any woman who walks by. This is rather disturbing ►•rhea one remembers that many of the same people v:ho dominate the press knew of the extracurricular activities of President John Kennedy when he was in office but chose to keep it quiet. Likewise, though the press makes much of the clumsiness of Gerald Ford, there is none of the questioning of his moral values. But John Kennedy eras a popular northeastern Liberal and Gerald Ford, for all his attempts to sound conservative to win over Reagan supporters. is pretty much a liberal too, and familiar to the big names in the press because he has been around Washington for many years. Jimmy Carter. however, is something else. First and foremost he is from the South. That of course, makes him untrustworthy to most of the image makers. But worse, he doesn't conform to the idea of a southerner that most northern liberals like to picture. Then again he is religious, something else not quite trusted by the press. In all it adds up to a package the press just can't get along with comfortably. Will this double -standard hurt Jimmy Carter in his quest of. the presidency? It's hard to say. Would the man make a good president if he was elected? Who knots. But one thing that is clear is that the big-time press in the U.S. needs to take a long hard self-examination as to its own biases before someday a good president is lost because he tor she) doesn't tit into the neat mold of what the press thinks a president should be. He's not everywhere! Blyth has been a pretty good place to run a newspaper compared to some other places we've worked in the past. People generally are very fair here and have been ready with compliments even faster than with criticism. Lately. however, we've beettfaced with a few of the "Wny weren't you there?" comments that can drive an editor to strong drink. It's the old problem nearly every newspaper faces. Everybody thinks what he or she is involved with is the most important thing in town. A reporter should he at every event going to make people happy. But this is impossible. For one thing, there are often two or more things going on at the time. For another, there has to be at least a few hours a week given to eating. sleeping and saying hello and goodbye to wife and kids. Our fondest aim would be to put out the perfect paper. to cover every event that should be covered. to spell every name correctly. to give everyone what he or she thinks is necessary in a good newspaper. But this is simply impossible. Firstly, after nearly five years of working 70 to 100 hour weeks, we simply don't have the energy or drive to keep up that pace any more. Secondly, we have a family that deserves more of our time than its been getting of late. And finally. this newspaper business is a two way street. After five years of doing our damndest tq give this town a good newspaper we find that fewer Blyth merchants are buying less advertising space than ever and we have fewer people willing to pay the subscription price but willing to read their neighbour's copy of the paper. Nut simply. this paper has been a marginal operation ever since we took it over and has been getting more marginal every day. In fact, if it were not for the fact that we have deversified into other publications. The Blyth Standard would likely have gone broke by now and would be no more. Until the community of Blyth feels a newspaper is an important enough part of the scene to give it reallistic support we will continue to do the best we can. We will not. however, continue to give a dollar's v.orth of work to get 10 cents worth of support. Drink doesn't bring success While some members of the liquor fraternity appear to advocate moderation in drinking. others blatantly reveal the industry's true motivation. They want Canadians to drink more. They've given up those subtle visual advertising hints that von can't enjoy life without a drink. They've begun stating that alcohol is essential. Jonnie Walker has offered whisky as an escape from life's pressures. An ad showing a glass filled with ice cubes read: "The mad to success is paved with rocks. Let us smooth them for you." As an editorial in the Mennonite Brethren Herald commented: "Anyone acquainted with the incidence of alcoholism among 'successful' business executives can only read that ad as cynical joke." The Martini and Rossi people said: "How to succeed in' business without really trying." The ad described their vermouth as "the world's most beautiful drink" with "a taste that can put almost anybody in the right frame of mind. So if you want to be a success in business just remember this one important word: Martini." Considering the damage already done to Canadian society by an ever increasing consumption of beverage alcohol. this kind of advertising can only be called irresponsible and harmful. --Contributed BY KEITH ROULSTON Thursday is the day of the long dreaded Day of Protest by the Canadian labour movement. In vier, of ►•:hat started out to be the first general strike in many years. Canadians as a whole seem to be taking things pretty calmly. Despite doing its best to drum up anxiety over the strike. the labour movement has barely managed to rowse Canadians out of their boredom. Perhaps its a case that - Canadians arc so used to strikes that one more isn't going to exite them much. The utter stupidity ushering from the mouths of sonic union leaders. however. is beyond belief. When some companies Warned that they would take disciplinary action against employees who broke their contracts and went on strike on Oct. 14. one union leader said he hoped that the companies would think better because it wasn't really any of their affair. that this was a fight between the unions and the government. None of their affair? How utterly idiotic. A company that loses a full day's production might lose thousands. even millions of dollars because of this little protest. Somewhere along the line unions have to conic to the realization that in this day and age. the jobs of workers depend on the health of the company. they work for. We've pushed this myth of the employer being the big bad ogre r.ith money to burn for so long that it has warped our undcrstand'utg of hos, the econo- my works. Profit margins are not as rosev as many think (if they were more employees would invest in the stock of their companies). Loss of a day's production might be the difference between a company making money and losing it. One of the companies most attacked over the years has been Bell Canada. Every time the company asks for another raise in Profit is very much needed rates. people yell about the fantastic profits the company is snaking. NIv wife happened to he given I•:o shares of Bell stork as a y.edding gift so 1 guess von could say she's among the ugly capitalists that benefit from a telephone rate increase. The stock v.as worth around 550 a share when she received it. She receives a quarterly dividend of 91 cents per share or about 53.64 per share per year. That works out to about 7.3 per cent interest on that S50 investment. Pretty paltry when you consider that you could get two to three per cent more in a bank. Yet people tend to hear the profit of Bell given in nice round trillions and think the company is rich. They forget that those millions are divided among millions of shares held by thousands of people. Ah yes, yon say, but how much have the shares gone up since they were bought? Well, I understand things have improved lately (thought i've been afraid to look myself) but a few months ago the shares had dropped to about 540 a piece. In other words in the half-dozen years she owned the stock, my wife would have lost 20 per rent of her initivem while at the same tintins stakingstent only 7.3 per cent interealst. Thank goodness she only , had two E(Iitorial% shares. 1f she'd have started out with a million dollars worth she'd have lost a fortune. Don't get me wrong, I'm still no lover of big business. I've worked for big companies and couldn't stand it. I wouldn't invest my money in the stock market for anything (especially if i had some money to invest), and I'd love to see the day when we could break up the big companies into smaller ones. I don't think we're going to see that day, however. Canada is a land filled with people whose greatest aim is security. Fewer and fewer people are willing to risk that security for the challenge of running their own business. They don't want to risk their money and they don't want to work the hours required to make a small business go. So, more and more small companies will be eaten up and more and more people will go to work for big corporations. And more and more will join unions and more and more will say stupid things like the union leader mentioned above. Where is it all leading? I'd rather not even look that far down the road. I don't think I'd like what i saw. By the day it comes l hope I'm off in my cabin in the bush sornetvhere.with as little as possible to lose.

BELGRAVE BRANCH Belief in God not . enough BY CECIL WITTICH We tied in The Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 2, Peter preaching the Gospel to a large crowd, At the conclusion of his message, the, people, disturbed in their conscience by what they had heard, asked, "What shall we do?" (verse 37) Peter answered, "Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." One might think that Peter, by giving such an answer, was speaking to an audience of heathens, On the contrary, his hearers were made up of devout Jews. (verse 5) As religious people, they believed very strongly in God. And yet, Peter calls on them to repent of their sins and to be baptized in the name of Jesus christ for their forgiveness. This event took place 10 days after the return of Jesus to heaven to be with the Father and the command of Jesus to be his witnesses. In Peter's reply, we find two essentials to our faith in god and which was also lacking in those to whom he spoke. The first is the call to repent and to be baptized in the name of Jcsus 'Christ for the forgiveness of our sins, Baptism in the nano of Jesus Christ implies repentance and belief. in him as Savior and Lord, The second ()dint is that along with our acceptance of Jesus Christ we have the promise of God, "And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit•" Up until this time, the Holy spirt had been given by God to certain individuals whom He had chosen for a specific task, Now, god was seeking to pour out His Spirit on all flesh, as Peter spoke of in this same sermon, Our faith is in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit • the Three in One God. In the Apostle's Creed we affirm: "I believe in God the Father Almighty, • And in Jesus, His only Son, our Lord, • And in the Holy Spirit." If we believe 'only in God, then we arc lacking the saving power of Jesus Christ and the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. In order to enter into the fullness of our faith and the fulness of the salvation that God has provided for us, we believe in all Three, Thanks be to God! THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 13, 1976. PG. 7. C.A.S.T.L.E. contract formalized At last month's meeting the Huron county Council formalized arrangements concerning the house purchased by, the County for lease to the Children's Aid Society for their Children's Aid Society Teen' Living Experience Project (C.A•S,T.L.E.) A standard five year lease is to be drawn up, computed from August 11, 1976, at the rate of $600 per month which will include repayment of principal and interest, taxes, insurance and maintenance, The lease is to include a clause to provide that either party may terminate the lease upon three months notice in writing during the 'term of the lease, Council also agreed to pay for the installation of a light in the upstairs hall of the Castle project • house to illuminate the stairway and hallway. Acting on a request that a private oflicebc provided for the Children's Aid Supervisor, and following a tour of the Children's Aid quarters by the County Property Committee, the council authorized an estimated expendi- ture ot'$1.100 for the twist ruction of partitions and a door, as well as wiring changes and changes in the air conditioning vents. The commitcc also recom- mended the expenditure of approximately 5200 for the installation of a floodlight on the %rest side oI' the Assessment Books at the Blyth Public Library THUNDER AT SUNSET: BY JOHN MASTERS The year is 1960 and the British are pulling out of Southeast Asia. Against this background John Masters has set his tale of action, passion, and choice, as Brigadier David Dylan Jones must choose between his country and the woman he loves.

LOBO BRAND: -BY OSCAR FRIEND. Itbegan in Utah, cropped up again in Nevada, and then, more sinsister than before, the wolf • brand appeared in a doomed man's cell in Salt Bend, Idaho. It always was the chalk marks of a wolf's paw, the brand of an outlaw of twenty years before, known as Lobo. For Carter, running Lobo to carh was a dangerous and exhausting busi- ness, but he succeeds in an action -packed conclusion to a story of lawlessness overcome by justice. MYSTERY OF THE MISSING CANNON: BY MARG NELSON. When 16 -year old Gail Miller returned to Siah, Washington, her birthplace, after an absence of six years, she was terribly shocked and worried about the condition of the town. It seemed as if Siah was too lazy to keep itself alive. Even her lather and stepmother's house was run- down. Some claimed that the cause of the town's apathy yeas that its 350 pound cannon was either missing or stolen. Oldtim• ers said, "Without the cannon Sial will die". How Gail brought courage and intelligence to the solution makes a tine story. THE CHILDREN ON THE TOP FLOOR: BY NOEL STREAT. FEILD. Malcolm Master, a bachelor, ‘.as an important TV personality.

Unlike these relatives, planarians are free-living, moving over the surface of the mud or rocky bottoms of streams or ponds. The animals "glide" over a solid surface by co- ordinated movement of short microscopic hairs which cover the lower portion of the body. Eye- spots serve as light detectors and the "ears" are actually organs of taste or smell. Planarians feed on dead or living animal matter, sucking it up with a hose -like pharynx or feeding organ. 168 -'76 • ..\•......-.._,. _•• ..\..`...\ WA. ••\..\...•••...1..•• • —••.al • C110% IL nrcbflrws ! ..•_ 0\••_••_••_ •• _•4,••_••\;•\1.x;1_..\..••••••••••••••• 444.44_••_.•1\,•••44.4•\4•`_ CHURCH OF GOD McConnel Street, Blyth (HUIR('il SERVICE: I I a.ni. i THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA Rrv.

Let's teach our teachers BY KENNETH McDONALD Canada is the Western world's biggest spender on education. Sweden is next, the United States 9th, West Germany 20th (all expressed in percentages of Gross National Product). Publicity given to the "functional illiteracy", in spell- ing, reading and writing English, of high school graduates enter- ing Canadian universities has led to some soul-searching in high schools. But what of the business illiteracy of teachers? A lot of good work is done in our schools. Young Canadians are well equipped mentally and physically to learn what they are being taught. But ,hey arc not being taug:it how to earn a living. Don't blame the teachers. Most of then have gone from school to teachers' school to teaching school. they arc the products as troll as the producers of a closed circuit. Blame the educational bureaucrats and administrators in universities and provincial ministries. But look in the mirror, too. Eddcation is far too important to be left to the teachers. Let them teach academic subjects. But let the rest of us be sure that teachers arc given opportunities to learn • and to pass on to their students • how the outside world works. Education's purpose is to serve the community, individually and collectively. The Canadian com- munity has to earn its living through industry and exchange. It's vital that young Canadians be taught how to play their part. With this in mind, the Canadian Federation of Inde- , pendent Business has authorized an initial budget of $50,000 for an educational program designed to help students understand small business and the workings of the socio-economic system of free competitive enterprise. The first move will be an eight•pagc insert in the Novem- ber issue of Today's Generation, geared to a readership of 450.000 students in high schools across Canada. 'fhc Federation is concerned that too much of education's very substantial revenues is being diverted to education where the emphasis is on traininv for administrative jobs in public and private bureaucracies. - Its aim is to change this emphasis to one which focuses on the building of skills preparing young people for self- enlploynicnt, Then the education system, instead of mobilizing recruits far big institutions, will begin to nourish the smaller enterprises .hich sustain local communities.

"Such a project would be expected to generate additional revenue to the municipality in the form of rents aitd; or taxes." said Mr. Rhodes, "In addition, the project most be ci development %.hich acts as a seeding clenSent ora spur to other downtown inlprovenlents.- I:It;. ible costs under the pro- grant would include such items as: the acquisition ands or clear ance, oI' land, including reloca- tions costs of residential tenants: acquisition and rehabilitation of an existing key anchor building: r installation of a public open or covered mall, transitway or Septi -mall; and the improvement, relocation and addition to ancil- larly services such as water, sewers and/or roads where such improvements will result in revitalization. Mr. Rhodes also said the province will also consider admin- istrative costs connected with the project as part of the approved costs, But he said some limits will be set on these amounts. He said the province will recover 110 percent of its t\.o•thirds contribution. "But repayment is contingent upon additional revenue being created' for the municipality. There is no I'ix'cd period for this loan recovery," he said, He said municipalities qualify- ing must be under 125,000 in popula,ton; have an approved official plan and related bylaws; and there must be strong council and community support for the project which must be capable of being completed in five years. �• ON USED CARS 1976 Fury Sport,.2 door hardtop, 8 automatic, power steering, power brakes, radio, demo. / 1974 Astre, 4 speed with : radio 1973 ' Dodge Swinger, 2 door hardtop, low mileage. 2 - 1973 Dodge Dart, 4 door, 6 automatic 1973 Mercury Montcalm, 2 door hardtop, 8 automatic, power steering, power brakes and radio. 1972.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 13, 1976. Smith says McKeough BY RON SHAW Leader of the Liberal Party in Ontario, Dr, 'Stuart Smith, told Annual Regional Individual Service Membership (ISM) of the Northeast and . East Central Huron Federation of Agriculture on Tuesday night September 28. that a farm income stabilization program should not become an incentive to over produce but be designed as legalization to even out the peaks and valleys in fluctuating markets. More than anything else, he said, such a policy should eliminate the disasterous losses suffered periodically by farm commodity producers. "Farmers," Mr, Smith said, "came to government involve- ment in agriculture very reluctantly. It is only because inflation has hit farmers so hard that we now have talk of farm income stabilization." Mr, Smith termed the legisla- doesn't know tion to stabilize farm incomes which was introduced last spring by the David government "grossly inadequate." "We had to oppose that law," he saidt "We did not want an election over the issue, though we may still get one, but we had to oppose it." He said the differences between the various commodities produced by Ontario farmers was so large that what was needed Ralph Hoba top award winner at C.H.S.S.

The Liberal leader suggested to the meeting that "maybe the time has come for people in the city to have some respect for food and how it is produced." He said he thought the time has come when "we'll have to pay more for our food so farmers can earn a decent living." "And I'm willing to say that in the city as well as here," he told the Federation members. Speaking of the loss of farm land to urban development he noted that "We cannot save . every inch of farm land, let's be honest about it, you have to build houses somewhere. but let's save as much as possible." "Let's shift the urban growth to centers where the farm land is Icss valuable," he suggested, "Why should pcoplc have to trek to the city for jobs," he added, "The Provincial Treasurer says that people simply want to live in the tomtit() to Hamilton region," he noted. "To that I say hogvra'sh," In discussing the proposed property tax reform legislation for Ontario v.hich v.ouid see .the house and lot Mr. Smith said that "It a total misunderstanding of the mentality of the people in rural Ontario and could only have comp from' Darcy McKeough," Farmers he said "do not want handouts, or to become wards of the state or to risk having 16 years back taxes fall on their heads at some point in the future," "Lot farmers make a decent living and they will be happy to pay their taxes, Mr, Smith said. He went on to charge that passage of the legislation would be one • more step toward centralization and would give the Province one more grip on the small municipalities. "How can you keep a check on your local government under such a system? he asked. Addressing himself to the issue of milk quotas, Mr, smith said the production quota should be averaged over the course of a whole year and not enforced so rigidly on a month to month basis. "This is not a perfect solution," he admitted, "but I think it could help many. • -le also suggested that the 1MPIP loan repayments should be stopped until the present difficult period is over. He said such had been done for a few months in the government pick up the tab for , summer but that the program taxes on farm land while the should be continued until this resolved, farmer paid taxes on only his present situation was sale t now orrnvest.

There was another gust of hot air at the same time. This one came from the critics of educa- tion, who are numerous as the sands of the desert, and who wonder, in print and aloud, what the taxpayer is getting for his education dollar. Well, for one thing, he or she is getting me. For the next 10 months, t will devote myself, at a moninnal remuneration, to the task of trying to teach young people how to read, write and speak their own language with some degree of accuracy. Like, you know„ it's crazy man, but that's the way the frisbee flies. Far be it from me to bite the hand that feeds me, but most of the cirtics are all wet. Some, with extra -bright children, are furious that the public school system does not provide enriched courses for their kids, so that they'll emerge from • high school with the equivalent of a private school and a university education. But they don't pay any more school taxes than I do, and 1 have no children in school. I'm helping pay for their kids' education. Others, too lazy or scared to discipline their own kids, expect the schools to do it. then are the first to sue a teacher who finally, being human, can't resist giving their darling a whack on the head. Many critics A growing number of critics take up the chant of "getting back to the basics," when they find that their kids can't do long division without a calculator, can't write a servile letter, and know more about sex than they do about science. What these people really mean is: "Why don't them there teachers give the kids a real good training in the basic eleinentals like what l got?" These arc people who can't do short division, unless it's two into four, use the dash as their only punctuation mark when writing a letter, and know nothing about their science or sex, There's another type of critic: This is the type who deals in figures. He is infuriated when he sees that the town council spent 46 percent of its budget on education and only 22 percent on the Works Department. He'd rather spend money on 'straight- ening out roads than on straight- ening out his kids' heads. There is one critic for whom 1 feel some sympathy, This is the mis-named Senior Citizen. He. or she, never got much education, because in those days you had to go to work, and only the elite, the sons of doctors and lawyers and such had a hope of going to college. These people feel a righteous indignation that their moderate incomes arc taxed to support those over -paid teachers and those expensive , buildings all those young layabouts who should be out working, when they. themselves, get absolutely nothing out of their education taxes. Well, tough toenails, Old- timers, You helped elect. the governments that ar: bleeding you. And another point. We all have to pay, sooner or later. You and I are leaving these kids so tai in debt they'll never get out. The critics don't bother one. I work hard at my job, and 99 percent of the teachers in the of education dead wrong country do the same. We are not all either a Socrates or a Jesus, but we do the best we can with what we have, You know, we're not turning out pulpwood or sausages or cake Tins, We are not producing a product, whatever the manufac- turers and business people think we should be doing. We arc dealing, every day, for several years of their lives, with that most intricate of mechan- isms, a human being, And we are doing that at the most sensitive and delicate stage of its metamor- phosis into adult, Try that on for size, And we're not doing it that ba jly, The old, mindless authori- tarianism, which attracted the weak and the bullies into the teaching profession, along with many first-class people, is . gone, That's good. The old system, under which kids from professional families went on and kids from poor families went into service or factories or common laboring is gone. That's good. We're trying to offset the, mindless garbage of television by teaching kids to be curious and skeptical and challenging of the shoddy and insidious, And that's good.

A certain low -life in this town somehow got word .of my problem, .and please, Ann, don't let anyone tell you it's just another lifestyle. It's a lot more than that. Homosexuality is a severe personality disorder. I DEAR ANN LANDERS; I'm a would give anything in the world 40 -year-old male with a grave if I were straight, but that's not problem. I am a homosexual what I m writing about. though very few people know it. 1 :This man has threatened to expose me to my parents and the Redistribution still concerns .H -P Board By WILMA OKE The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board approved in a recorded vote of seven to five Monday the preparation of a resolution to tht Ministry of Education pointing out the deficiencies in the present legislation concerning elected representatives on the board. In the redistribution of school board members announced earl- ier this, month, the City of Stratford lost a representative and the large rural area around Wingham gained one. This evened up the representation from each county, giving Huron and Perth each seven board members, Speaking for the four members from Stratford, Howard Shantz said, "One of us will be missing next year." Mr. Shantz said they didn't have a leg to stand on to appeal the redistribution this year but wanted the brief sent to express their concern; about what might happen in the future as a result of the proposed property tax reform plan by the government. Jack Lane, superintendent of business, suggested it might be prudent to wait and see what the decision of government might be in the proposed property tax reform plan as there appered to be considerable opposition to it, before sending in a resolution from the Board. Stratford trustee"Ronald Marcy insisted that a brief should be "presented as soon as possible to express the board's concern about what might happen. Joseph Looby of Dublin said he did not think the school board should be involved, "If Stratford docs not feel they have the right representation than let them go to the government." William •Kinahan of Lucknow, who represents Wingham and the areas to get more representation, commented on the Stratford trustees remarks, "I think what you are saying is to h ---with the children in the big rural arca in the northern part of Huron." Voting for the resolution were Howard Shantz, David Teahcn, -Micltcy Vere, Ronald Marcy all of Stratford: John O'Drowsky of St. Marys: Vincent Young of Gutter- ich and Ted Geoffrey of Zurich. Against the resolution %%ere Donald Crowley, Gadshill; Fran- cis Hicknell, Scaforth; Michael Connelly, Kippen; Joseph Looby, Dublin; and William Kinahan, Lucknow, In other business the . board accepted the resignation of the custodian at St. Mary's School, Hesson, Mrs, Marie Poissant, effective October 29. James McDade at St. Patrick's School, Kinkora, was given permission to submit his name to be nominated as a candidate for assignment for teaching in the Department of National Defence Dependants' School overseas for a two-year tour of duty. The board set. the next meeting to be held on Tuesday, October 12, as Thanksgiving Day falls on the regular meeting night. Government toughens regulations to combat brucellosis Livestock dealers' premises now must- be registered with Agriculture Canada in a further step to control brucellosis in Canadian cattle herds, Agricult- ure Minister Eugene Whelan said recently. Livestock dealers _are also required to keep records of the movement of cattle on and off their registered premises under amendments' to Agriculture Canada's Animal Contagious Diseases Regulations which became effective last month. "Brucellosis is usually intro - animal is purchased. But until now, many dealers did not have many dealers did not have . records to provide Agriculture' Canada's Health of Animals Branch with the name and • address of the seller so the herd of origin could be determined," Mr. Whelan said. With the amendments, all cattle eligible to be tested for brucellosis will require a negative test within 30 days prior to being brought to a dealer's registered premises, These animals will be identified by a Health of Animals Branch eartag put on when the blood samples are collected for the test and before the animal reaches the dealer's premises. Livestock dealers affected by • this change in regulations arc those who collect cattle on their premises for resale. Brucellosis testing at auction barns and stockyards will continue under the Health of Animals Branch regular testing program. In addition, a negative brucel- losis test within the previous 30 days of cattle being moved intcrprovincially can be required under the amendments. "We have been very concerned that outbreaks of brucellosis have occurred as the result 'Of cattle being moved from one province to another. This step should stop this from happening again," Mr. Whelan •said, "When brucellosis is identified in a herd, the Health of Animals Branch conducts a thorough epidemiological investigation. These amendments are designed to make the investigation easier and to protect herd owners in every way possible," Mr. Whelan said. Blood tests for brucellosis must be done by a Health of Animals Branch veterinarian, inspector, or an accredited vetcrin';rian. Those cattle not requiring a test are calves under six months of age, spayed heifers, steers, or female cattle which are accom- panied by a certificate proving they were born within the previous two years and "were vaccinated against brucellosis between three and nine months of age. . school board unless I give hint 25 percent of my monthly paycheck.

Better to face the consequences of his threat and take your chances. If he docs go through with it, tell your story and I promise you will come out looking better than the blackmailer. DEAR ANN LANDERS: It's a shame that people die every day because they didn't know better. That's what happened to our son's 21 -year-old friend. This fine young man decided to work on his car, �It was cold outside so he_ kept the garage doors closed, You can guess the rest. Carbon monoxide. They found him dead that evening. Our. son is heartsick: He can't understand why the danger of this deadly gas has not been more widely publicized. Most people think fumes have some sort of odor, or that a person would feel drowsy or dizzy if he were being overcome. 13ut carbon monoxide gives no yarning. It is extremely insidious. Please, Ann, tell your readers never to work on a car in a closed garage with the motor running. It could be fatal. --e.t. DEAR E.T.: You told them -• and I thank you. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I sent for your booklet, "The Bride's Guide," and it was well worth the dollar, You settled lots of small arguments before they turned into big ones, In preparation for my own wedding I have been noticing procedures at other weddings. I am now puzzled about a point not brought out in your Bride's Guide. The Iasi two weddings I attended had no receiving line. The bride and groom and members of the wedding party did not receive guests at the door. They circulated and made every- one feel welcome, What do you .think about this less formal approach? • Confused DEAR CONFUSED: Not much. Guests should be greeted at the door by the members of the wedding party. After a reasonable period of time, however, the line should disband and the members of the wedding party should then circulate among the guests and promote , an atmosphere of cordiality, 8:***** Confidential to Define It Please: I'm no economist but inflation is when the buck doesn't stop anywhere. ****** There is a big difference between cold and coolAnn Landers shows you how to play it cool without freezing people out in her booklet, "Teenage Sex • Ten Ways to Cool It."

Stanley township park still -.controversial The question of Jcllystonc Park in Stanley township was again before County Council on Sept. 24 when the report of the Board of Health noted that it has authorized the issuance of an order to the registered owners of the park to• produce approved engineer's plans for sewage and water systems, and that the Township of Stanley be so advised. • It was learned that the Medical Officer of Health and the Chief Public Health Inspector had' visited this large recreational facility in Stanley township where there has been no approved sewage installation for the trailer areas. Dr. Frank Mills, Medical Officer of Health for Huron, was asked why it has taken so long to get the approved plans. Stanley township Reeve Anson McKinley noted that he hoped the council had some enforcement authority. "We have received mO plans of any type covering. lots, seers or v.atcr systems" he said. Dr, Mills explained that the operators of the park had indicated they would be making application for approval, which would involve tiling of such plans, but has never done so. This led to the board's issuing of the order. "This is, a Targe hark. and we would like to see it go." Dr. Mills noted, "but it most go properly"., It was suggested that a number of lots had already been sold and Dr. Mills reported having seen mild signs on lots while visiting the park. Mr. McKinley pointed out however that the lots were not sold as such, but leased under an agreement which involved the purchase of shares since no sevcrcnce was possible on the property concerned. "This is a question for the Ontario Securities Commission," he said. Dr.. Mills noted that the Ministry of Consumer Affairs had expressed interest in that situa- tion but that was an affair for the Ministry and not the Health Unit. "Initially," Dr, Mills explained, "thc developers pre- sented a plan which was approved but since then they have changed their plans. We've seen sketches out nearly everything is verbal, No formal application has ever been tiled." In other business covered b) the Board of Health report it wa' noted that the Board wished to gc on record as being in favour of tht concept of the formation of Huron Perth District •Health Council and further that thc composion of the council should be made up of one third elected councillors, one third consumer and one third health pr•otessronals. The Board of Health also announced acceptance of a tender by .1 int Hayter Chev-Olds Limited of Godcrich for the lease of two tour -cylinder cars for 24 months, effective -September 15, 1976, at $140 per month plus Provincial Sales Tax.
