Huron could beforced into health council Huron Medical Officer of Health Dr. Frank ` Mills told Couhty Council last Thursday that if Huron does not agree to setting up a district health council with Perth County the provincial government' might well force Huron into a five county body. According to Mr. Mill's report if the steering committee which is presently. examining the proposed Huron Perth Health Council idea were to recommend against proceeding the provincial reaction might be to lump Huron in with the five part Thames Valley healthcouncil which covers Oxford, Elgin and Middlesex • counties as well as the cities of London and St. Thomas. The report notes that "to lose our autonomy as a two county health council and to be swallowed up in the tremendous population of a five part health council would be undesirable and would meet with just as much opposition from interest groups now opposing the health council and possibly would be too late than for further consideration." Steering committee member Warden Jack McCutcheon said a good Huron Perth Health Council Would do the area a lot of good. "At this time 1 would certainly have to support it because of what might happen if we don't," Goderich Reeve Stan Profit asked if Huron was being blackmailed into a two county system, "because it's the lesser of two evils." Dr. Mills explained that while it is still unclear about whether the council will have any financial controls or will be merely advisory. He said "it's a two edged sword. if it gets nasty, we're the ones who have to do the nasty work." He suggested that the council would also have to do the unpopular job of cutting back spending and closing hospitals if the Health Ministry reduced budgets. • Huron planning changes could effect farm The Huron County Council heard a number of recommendations from the County Planning Board at the regular council session last Thursday concerning the by-law recommended by council to be passed by the municipalities banning open liquid animal waste storage lagoons. Following discussion at the October session of County Council and meetings with the Huron County Federation of Agriculture and Jacob Pos of the University of Guelph some suggestions were put forward. • Modification of the by-law to require a lid, or a safety fence on an open liquid animal waste storage tank was suggested, It was also recommended that a certificate of compliance be required prior to the issuing of a building permit for any proposed liquid manure storage tank, According to the Planning Board report there are several factors implied in the first suggestion, According to the Planning Board report there are several factors implied in the first suggestion. That any lid be constructed in such a manner that it would be sufficiently strong to meet climatic requirements, to support additional weight which may be added by people or animals which may accidentally venture on to the lid, and be provided with an adequate closure to prevent access to the. tank. by children or animals. Also, that any safety fence be high enough, solid enough, and strong enough to prevent access to the tank by children and animals, and be provided with an adequate closure to prevent access to the tank by children or animals,„ There are several factors as well, implied in the second suggestion, That the provisions of the Agricultural Code of Practice will be an adequate method of evaluating a livestock operation and its manure handling facilities, and that the municipality can enforce the provisions of the Agricultural Code of Practice.

Standards for a safety fence are, however, not covered by the Canadian Code for Farhi Buildings. A comparable structure to open top liquid tanks would be a swimming pool. according to the Planning Board. The standards recommended and circulated to all municipalities include that the fence can be of chain link, solid wood or metal or open board with a maximum opening of two inches. It must be a minimum of 60 inches high and all gates must have a self closing latch. For silo type storage tanks, the height of the ladder above ground is established by the Canadian Code for Farm Buildings at five feet, although most contractors use an eight foot minimum. The Ontario Farm Safety Association recommends a safety fence around an open tank. They do not have standards for the type and height of fence however. The Agricultural Code of Practice is the only method available for evaluating the type and location of liquid manure storage structures. As part of the evaluation the type and number of livestock, the method of manure management, the increase in size of the livestock operation and the type and sire of the manure storage structure are all considered. The Board recommended that the townships passing by-laws concerning the construction of liquid animal waste storage tanks should include as a minimum, a requirement for a certificate of compliance and a site plan diagram. A requirement for a safety fence meeting the standards of the proposed swimming pool by-law for any portion of an open liquid tank which is less than five feet above the ground and provision of a penalty for not meeting either the provisions of the site plan diagram, or the provisions of the safety fence by-law. PG. 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 1, 1976, United church critical of health system The United Church's London Conference executive is asking that the Provincial Ministry of Health be more critical of its health delivery _system. In a paper presented to the executive November 10 by the Conference's Division of Mission chairman, criticism was directed to the Federal Government's Bill C-68 which limits the Federal increase in cost sharing to the provinces to 13 percent in 1976, 10.5 percent in 1977.78 and 8.5 percent in 1978.79. The paper which was prepared by the Division of Mission suggested that the present 50/50 Federal - Provincial sharing of health costs based on preseht programs instead of actual health needs was not an equitable program since economically depressed areas of Canada could not bring medical care up to the standards enjoyed by more affluent parts of our country. The paper suggested that increased revenue for health care be raised through a graduated income tax rather than through increased sales taxes or increases in health care premiums, since 6 tables at Euchre. There were six tables in play at Monday nights Euchre. Winners were: high lady, Marg McCullough; high man, Clarence Johnston; low lady, Mrs. Harold Carter; low man, Ed Brooks; ladies lone hands, Velma Naylor; mens lone hands, Gordon Nicholson. There will be no cards next Monday night due to the election. Euchre will be held Tuesday night, December 7 at 8 p.m. Everyone Welcome. the latter hurt the poor. In calling for a revamping of the health care delivery system, it was suggested that more emphasis be placed on prevent- ative health care through public health channels; that lower cost home care and convalescent chronic care units be considered to avoid the high hospital care costs and that cutbacks (hospital bed reduction) seemed irrespons- ible for any hospital (such as Victoria Hospital in London) that was .being used to its capacity. The paper was debated and passed by motion of the executive and is to be sent on to government ministries of health and to members of parliament whose ridings come within the London Conference area, Guides go to Cape Breton Cape Breton Island is to be a very popular spot for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts as it is to be the scene of an international camp, July 20 to Augusta, 1977, There arc to be 1500 girls taking part in this camping event, with many countries as well as Canada participating. The girls will live in tents and cook on colcman stoves, purchasing the food for each day from a central market, Each Guide and Girl Scout will choose her programme for the day, having a wide variety of things to choose from, such as: swimming, sailing, canoeing, talk -ins, service projects, amphitheatre events, music and drama, nature, handicrafts, fitness, tours, and hiking. Guides chosen from Beaver Division are: Julie McKee, Walkerton; Jane Coventry, Clinton; Lorna Boyle and Susan Thompson, Lucknow; and Nancy Damcrling, Fordwich. There have been four alternates chosen, should some of these Guides be unable to go; Ann Smith and Gail Pinkney, Goderich; Vivian bogie, Hanover; and Edith Greer, Lucknow.

WAYNE GRUB 5. Doug Fortune speaks to Hulieti Doug Fortune, a Wingham arca dairy farmer and past President of the Huron County Federation 'of Agriculture, was guest speaker at the Annual Meeting of the Hullett Township Federation on November 23, His subject, 'The proposed Reform of Property Taxation in Ontario', was of great interest to everyone present. Mr, Fortune outlined the basic changes proposed, although he admitted that the information available is vague. For instance, reference is made to 'residences and wrcasonablc amount of land', but what constitutes a reasonable amount of land has not yet been defined, Also Mr. Fortune said he could not see any advantage in taxing all school property. He voiced the concern of many farmers that, if the taxes on their land are being 100 percent paid by the provincial government, how much influence will farmers have on their local municipal officials and how much control will they have over the manage- ment of their own. land. 'Most farmers want to pay their fair share of taxes', Mr, Fortunc said; 'and arc not happy at the prospect of having their taxes paid by the government. One consequence might be that the public will feel that they should have free access to farm land for hiking, snowmobiling, etc.' Attention was focussed on the official policy , of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, which is that services to people should be paid by people taxes while services to property should be paid by the owners of the property. Mr. Fortune also told Pr the meeting about the compre- hensive brief which was prepared by the Huron County Federation and presented to the Blair Commission by Adrian Vos and Maurice Bean, Mr. Fortune concluded by suggesting that we should be pleased that the provincial government has recognized that the Municipal Tax Act needs some drastic changes. But the changes brought forward by The Honourable W. Darcy McKcough, Treasurer of Ontario, could lead to sonic very serious problems for farmers. He urged everyone to obtain a copy of the booklet entitled 'Reform of Property Taxation in Ontario' either by contacting your M.P.P. or by writing to: Municipal Finance Branch, Ministry of Treasury, Frost Building, THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 1, 1976. PG. 3. Queen's Park, Toronto M7A 1Z2. •The meeting. was chaired by Hugh Flynn who has been President of the Hullett Federa- tion of Agriculture for the past five years.

PRACTISE BREAST SELF- EXAMINATION CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY THE FLU This is how 1 Ontar lo's no - cost Al flu protection ,o► program will work. ' There could be an outbreak of flu in Ontario this winter. So your Province is recommending vaccination against both swine flu and Victoria flu for people age 65 and older, and people age 20 and older who have certain chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart, lung or kidney disease. We plan to vaccinate them with one inoculation before the diseases strike —.if they strike. There is no charge. We are also offering no -cost swine flu vaccination to other people age 20 and older who want to be vaccinated. But no one will be required to accept vaccination— it is a personal and voluntary decision. What these flus are Both flus are caused by contagious viruses that spread directly from one person to another, just like the common cold. (Swine flu is not caused by eating pork.) Swine flu is suspected of being similar tot 1918-19 flu which was responsible for the deaths of 2 ' million people world-wide, including 45,000 Canadian . Victoria flu was responsible for many deaths and illne •es as recently as last winter. Symptoms The symptoms are usually f: 'er, muscle aches, headaches, chills and co • ing. It takes one to three days from the time the virus • -ts into your system until you start feeling ill. The flu las two to seven days. With severe infections. flu can I. Swine flu can kill within 24 hours. Ontario's no- ost vaccination program To ward off ese two flus, Ontario's 44 local Medical Off'cers • Health will administer a province -wide v cin ion program. Dates, places and times of clinics in y ur . rea will be announced. any of Ontario's 2,200 public health nurses will carry .out the actual vaccinations. Some family physicians will be • vaccinating their own chronically -ill patients, Your Ontario Government pays all costs. Vaccinations will be given with traditional needles or with fast painless air spray injectors that shoot a light spray of vaccine through the skin of the arm. The injector can vaccinate 1,000 people an hour, and it has been used safely for many years. Flu vaccination does not leave a scar. Possible side effects for those who should be vaccinated Most people will have no side effects from this vaccination. Serious side effects are rare, but they can occur — as with any vaccination. Minor side effects can include a sore arm, headache, fever and muscle apes, lasting one or two days. If these minor symptoms persist, contact your doctor. Protection through vaccination starts in about three weeks and will probably last a year or more. Who should NOT.be.vaccinated If you are allergic to chicken eggs, chicken or chicken feathers, don't be vaccinated at all, because the vaccine is made from chicken eggs and can cause a severe reaction. If you have fever, acute respiratory or other active infections, don't be vaccinated while you are ill. No one should be vaccinated for swine flu within 14 days before or after any other vaccination. Flu vaccine will protect 80 to 90 per cent of those vaccinated — but there is no drug or antibiotic to cure flu, so vaccination is desirable. For further information about the flu vaccination program, contact your local public health unit. Ministry of Health Frank Miller, William Davis, Minister _ _ Premier Province of Ontario PG. 4.

Ontario hays: been served well by Huron man When one thinks of Huron county natives who have made great contributions to their community or their country one man that is often overlooked is a farmer from Varna, Gordon Hill. In a county as dependent on agriculture as Huron, the contributions of this man should definitely not be ignored. He has given a good deal of his life to promote the.betterment of the farmer in Ontario. For the last seven years he has been the driving force in the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, the province's largest farm organization. In fact there are some who would tell you that Gordon Hill is the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. It's hard to remember now, but Gordon Hill took over as President of the O.F.A. just shortly after the General Farm Organization vote had badly split the Ontario farm community. The National Farmers Union and the O.F.A. vvcrc bitter enemies in many areas of the province. Hill a former N.F.U. president himself, felt the O.F.A. constituted the best chance at uniting farmers. He took over the leadership of the organization when morale was law and personally supervised a change in the whole structure that saw, individual memberships sold in order to provide more money of the organization and involved farmers at the grassroots. He also set out quietly to dampen the tires of resentment hetv,een the O.F.A. and N.F.U. Those seven years have seen successes and failures but overall the success has been dominant. The O.F.A. now represents more than 20,000 farm units across the province. Mr. Hill has become an important voice in the formation of policies for farmers. He and 0.F.A, have become leaders in the light to save farmland from distruction, have battled for tax reform for farmland, have battled !Or farm income plan, and for many other issues. The record of success has been impressive. He has also provided a calm, reasonable voice in farmer -consumer debates. In short, he has served the farmers of Huron and the rest of Ontario v,cll, and by serving them %yell has, in the long run, served consumers well too. He deserves a rest after his long service, but let's hope he will give his skill and dedication to other areas that need them in the near future. It's nice to be sitting on the outside One of the benefits of being an obsure political party with little chance of coming immediately to power is that you can say the wildest things and not have to worry about coming up with the goods after you're elected. The party that is most adept at this federally is the New Democratic Party. They manage to have their cake and eat it too as they lash out at the government and their capitalistic enemies on all sides. The N.D.P. under various leaders has blasted the present tax systems, for instance, for giving big corporations too many loopholes. They tend to see the consumer and the worker as helpless victims of these dragon -like organizations. They, along with their blood -brothers the union leaders have complained for instance that the anti-inflation Opposition parties raised a terrible fuss last week in the Commons . over the decision of • o ask for ' Prime Minister Trudeau dcau t t radio and television air time to speak to the Canadian people over the election of a separatist party in Quebec. Their complaints were not new. The question is, how to be fair to all parties in the allocation of coverage. The problem plagues news organiza- tions who want to show respons- ible coverage and be fair to everyone. Being the top man in govern- ment can have advantages when it comes to political campaigning. The recent U.S. election showed that when Gerald Ford was able to overhaul the big lead of Jimmy Carter by staying at home in the White House and acting pres- idential while Carter was out on the hustings trying to scare up votes. Through strategic press conferences and photo sessions Ford was able to look like a leader and make Carter look like an inexperienced johnny•come- lately. So one can understand the suspicions of the opposition parties %vhen a Prime Minister or a President asks time- on national' television. On the other hand, there are times when a President or Prime Minister must talk directly to the people. There are times when he must use all the • skill and persuasive powers he has to try to rally his country. Franklin D. Roosevelt proved how innportant -that was in the Depression %%hen with his fireside radio talks he bouyed the confidence of the American people and made them think the Depression could be beaten even when things looked blackest. Winston ('hurchhill demonstrated this sante ability in Britain during the bleak days of World War Two. It was something like that that Prince Minister 'frudeau had in Fair play on air helps Opposition, but does it serve country? mind last week when he sat down before the television cameras, In the meanwhile, the racket over equal time' claims bythe the q opposition parties convinced the • national networks that the Progressive Conservatives, the New Democrats and the Credit - isles should have their say on nation-wide networks. What we ended up with then was the Prime Minister making a basically non-political speech, an inspirational call, for love and understanding on the part of all Canadians, French and English speaking alike. He said it would be a crime against the human spirit for a 100 -year-old experi- ment in brotherhood was lost now,. When he finished his short speech we then had the. spectacle of three opposition party spokes- men tearing into the Prime Minister claiming he was the sole cause of everything that was vyrong in French -English relationships. We had one man trying to bring the country togcthcr and three men undoing all his v;ork. , Nov the /claims of the Opposition that 'I'rudcau has aggravated things by his tough stand on retaining power for the federal government may have a good deal of validity (though personally I think we need all the strength v e can get in the federal government) but this was not the time or the place to make the claims they made. Messrs. Clarke and Broadbent are almost paranoid on the thought that •frudcau may sonnchow 'be able to regain the popularity he has lost and pull the next election out of the hat after it appears impossible he can win. The thought of hien getting on tat Tonal telcyisio11 unopposed sent therm into a frenzy. They couldn't let him go unchallenged, so they got their equal time. Personally, I suspect it was a Letters to the editor Hotelier explains vote An open letter to the citizens of Blyth. On Monday December 6, 1976, we as citizens of the Village of Blyth have a great responsibility in that we must elect a council and school board representatives to look after our interests for the next two years, In addition to this, program is tough on the poor down -trodden worker but does nothing to,/ we also have the opportunity to control prices. But on the other hand the cry lately has been growing over the unemployment rate. The N.D.P. and unions are among those -leading the cry to stimulate the economy and create jobs. But jobs are created in one of two ways: by the government hiring a few thousand ,more people, or by the government making conditions favourable for companies to expand and create new jobs. The unemployment situation has been worsening because companies have not been expanding. Their profit levels have been dropping and in such a situation, companies have not been too, enthusiastic about spending money to build new factories. So because of government controls on profits, which the .N.D.P. is complaining aren't strict enough, companies are not creating more jobs and unemployment is rising. The only way then to create new jobs and make the N.D.P. happy in that way is to loosen controls on industries and encourage industrial growth, but doing that would also make the N.D.P. unhappy. In other. words, the N.D.P. just won't be satisfied no matter what happens. It is interesting, however, that the closer a party comes to the realities of power, the more toned -down its outcries become. You don't hear much of that kind of talk from Manitoba and Saskatchewan these days where N.D.P. governments have even found it necessary to crack down on unions from time to time. It will also be interesting to see how long Rene Levesque and his socialist -leaning government in Quebec can keep up the honeymoon with the leftist union movement there when he must actually make the government work. Here's a bet that by the next time an election comes up in Quebec, Rene is far from the hero he is today with many Quebecers...that like Dave Barrett in B.C., he may find it's far easier to fight guerilla warfare in politics than it is to live with the tough task of governing. vote on a question under the Liquor Licence Act "Are you in favour of the sale of spirits, beer and wine under a lounge licence for consumption on licensed premises''; This is the question on which 1 would like to address you: In speaking with • many members of the community it has come to my attention that many voters do not fully understand what they are going to vote for. In order to clarify any misunder- standing, certain facts are clear: "Liquor, beer and wine is now available to the patrons of the Blyth Inn and will continue to be available no matter what the outcome of the vote: The seating capacity of the Blyth Inn is set by the Province and can only be increased if the number of rental rooms are increased, The number of rooms for rent will not be increased and as a result the seating capacity will not be increased, If the vote is approved, application must be made to the LCBO for a lounge licence who in turn have very strict regulations that must be met: e.g. area to be licenced must be updated to their standards," From management's point of view, crowd control would be made easier, in that, patrons wishing to drink either beer or liquor would be able to do so in the same room. As it now stands 'it' you wish to have a drink other • than beer, you would have to moN to the arca presently licensed. This could mean that friends may not be able to sit together. We trust that we have been able to answer some of your questions, We would welcome any comments and if there is an arca in which you arc still not certain please feel free to contact Thelma or myself at 523-9381. Your support at , the polls would be most appreciated. Vote "Yes" December 6, 1976. Harold and Thelma Ferguson. political blunder that could hurt them far more than it helped them. I think many viewers may Ile like me and have been moved by the Prime Minister's call for unity then appalled by the blatantly political tone of the speeches of the other leaders. Personally again, 1 am upset with many of the doings of the present government, with the incompetence of many of the ministers, with the runaway bureacracy and the spiralling government spending. I would like to see a change in government in many ways. Yet, when I see the performance of all the leaders on tcleVision in a time of crisis, I have little doubt which matt I would rather have leading the country. I still have the feeling that•years.from now when cooler heads prevail, Mr. '1'rudcau will be regarded by Canadians as one of the greatest 'leaders we have had, just as he is presently regarded by people in the rest of the world as one of the world's .greatest leaders. D'espitc the claims that he is distant, that he doesn't care about the ordinary people etc„ 'etc., he is a matt who entered politics because he had a goal: to bring Canadians together. He isn't a professional politician like Mr. Clark, though he is indeed a proficient one at times. He cants to the country's leadership because he cared about the country, not because he wanted (0 be a politician since he was a teenager as many politicians have. He came to polities late in life because he saw it as the only waw to serve his ends: to bring unity to the country. What a sad thought if he should fail in this idealistic goal. What a horrible thought that cheap political expendency such as the opposition leaders showed. could help him miss this goal, could aid in the breakup of the country. Opposes pposes liquor vote Dear Sir: , Many people have contacted me because they are unsure about the meaning of the "Liquor Plebiscite" to be held on Dec. 6th. I am contributing this letter for the purpose of clarifying the meaning of this vote. I made inquiries concerning the official wording on the up -coming ballot, and this is the wording: "Are you in favor of the sale of spirits, beer and wine, under a lounge license for consumption on licensed premises?" Upon further inquiries I discov- ered that not only the hotel, but every establishment in Blyth, which met Ontario Liquor Control standards (such ,as size, fire exits, room accommodations, washrooms, etc.) could receive a lounge license without another vote by Blyth Municipal electors. 1 hope that Blyth electors will now be .aware of the far reaching - implications of their vote in this liquor plebiscite on Dec, 6th.

'Tis Show Biz Amelia Earhart was a by VONNI LEE "It is not the circumstances of her death for which we remember her, but the accomplishments of her life," And although mystery does still shroud her death, the great things she did during her lifetime arc no mystery. Amelia Earhart, from the time she was'a young girl, had a fascination for airplanes, She was an independent, daring and ambitious woman who believed 'that members of her sex were born for something great, She believed that "when women begin to think and feel like capable human beings, they'll really enjoy living and receive a sense of their accomplishments." The product of an unhappy Huron -Perth marriage (her domineering proud mother drove her father to the bottle), she watched as her sister Pidge settled for the norm -marr- iage and family. But it was not for Amelia, She took to the air, not realizing that her accomplish- ments as a flyer would make her the toast of the world, a role she hated because basically, she was lonely, insecure and shy. When she was asked what she and Eleanor Roosevelt talked about, she said, "Living in a country where only beautiful women arc adored", never believing that she had a beauty none could match. Amelia flew for the fun of it. She loved adventure; she loved the, feeling' she got when the wheels left the runway and she was in -control. Then she met Presbytery accepts budget Huron -Perth Presbytery of the United church set its budget figure at $31,,064. for 1977, Rev. Donald Beck, Hensall, head of the finance committee, presented the financial breakdown of the eight divisions and committees at a meeting in Ontario St. United Church, Clinton, last week. The 1977 total represents an increase of approximately $4,000, The new budget works out to $1.60 per resident member, an increase of 354. it was stated that there were 19,283 names on the roll, a decrease of some 360 members over last year. Largest recipients of funds were Camps Bimini and Menesetung of $9,500, The Division of Communication's budget was the largest at $5,285. Sing time from CKNX-TV and the new Resource Centre at Mitchell come under this arm .of Presbytery. Under a new format committee meetings were discontinued during presbytery to allow for a more creative and interesting session. Committees met prior to presbytery. Highlight of the all -day session was a special presentation of the Division of Mission by Revs. Barry Robinson, Thames Road;' Bruce Guy, Dashwood and Glen Wright, Exeter. A role-playing situation protrayed the problems that arise in the church when► people with different approaches attempt to share their positions. The presentation depicted a confrontation between the traditionalist who was unwilling to explore and a person who had had a renewal experience. The second part of the role-playing illustrated two persons with different ideas, both of whom were interested in the other's postion. Rev, Bruce Pierce, Crediton led a vocational presentation in which several clergymen told of their experience leading. to the ministry, The purpose was to help clergy and laity be more perceptive in their encourage- ment to others to enter the full-time work of the church. • The Mission and Service committee reported that 1975 givings to the local fund was $61,75 per member in the presbytery while Mission and Service received $15.75. The committee urged a more equal committment. Presbytery approved the following pastoral changes; Rev. James Rcddoch, Bayfield, post- ponment of retirement; Rev. John Stinson transfer from Toronto Conference to Listowel; Rcv. Harold Dobson, Dungannon -Nile, change' in pastoral relations in June 1977 and a call to Rev. Wm. J. Moore to St. Marys from the Manitoba Conference as of July, 1977 • The streets are for the people. Exercise your rights! Take a walk. nana,aunan� Walk a Mock; (4414).

Theirs was a marriage of convenience; she needed his money to pursue her extravagant hobby and he needed a somebody to make famous. Before their marriage she presented him with a written contract which read in part, "1 cannot promise to endure at all times even an attractive cage and 1 must have someplace to be by myself sometime and again." Her contract also stated that there would be no tics, should one or the other become interested in someone else and that both were free to leave if after a year they had not experienced happiness together. The 'convenience marriage' grew into a relationship of love and if misunderstandings had arisen, they were ironed out before that fateful day in 1937 when she left on her second trip around the world, George Putnam would never see her again, nor would the admiring world. Amelia Earhart loved the challenge of survival. Many still do not believe the stories that came out about her disappear- ance. She was an excellent aviator; weather conditions were not bad; and though she was searching for a small island, she was flying at an extremely high altitude. But she never came back from that journey and no one will ever know the truth.

We've been out of our minds with worry and now that we've Shredded letter frustrates worried mother heard from him we don't know what he wrote because we can't read it, What's worse, the return address is punched out by a machine and we can't write back. I am so frustrated and furious 1 could scream. With the price of postage sky-high wouldn't you think they could do a better job with the' mail? Please print this letter and suggest something to calm my nerves, I'M ready to explode, --Mother in a Rage DEAR MOTHER: 1 feel for you, dear, What a rotten piece of luck! Why couldn't they have mangled a piece of junk mail instead? Ever since automated equipment has taken over, when things go on the fritz they really mess up but good. (Before automation, PEOPLE made the mistakes.) Let's. hope every son who left home and wrote for the first time will see your letter and write again. It would be even better if every runaway son and daughter who hasn't written at all would do so now. Just think of how many happy hearts may result from your misfortune. DEAR ANN LANDERS: When I was mixing cake batter last evening, our 12 -year-old daugh- ter came into the kitchen and said, "Yummy." I turned my back for a minute and she put her whole hand into the batter. I was angered by her piggishness and gave her a light tap on the wrist with the cake -tin. She yelled as if 1 had broken her arm, Her father came rushing into the kitchen and chewed me out for "battering" the child, He said all kids love cake batter and 1 had no right to hit her. Now, of course, I'm a beast and He's a saint. Will you continent, please? --No Monster, Just Normal DEAR NORMAL: Sure all kids love rake batter, but a 12 -year-old should know about spoons. A sudden "reminder" such as you administered was perfectly O.K. And if you didn't tell her to use a spoon next time you should have, DEAR ANN: I'm trying to lose weight and need to know if certain facts arc right or wrong. Are white, whole-wheat, and brown bread equally fattening? If the bread is toasted arc there fewer calories? Arc potatoes fattening?—Hippy in Hamilton DEAR HIP:One slice of white bread has 65 calories, whole wheat 57, dark brown *96. No difference in calorie count be- tween toasted and untoasted bread. Potatoes, are relatively non-fattening. It's what . most people put on the potatoes that' adds the weight. *** There is a big difference between cold and 'cool. Ann Landers shows you how to play it cool without freezing people out in her booklet, "'1'cen•Age Sex --Ten Ways to Cool It." Send 50 Children's Aid Society Christmas bureau swings into action The Children's Aid Society Christmas Bureau is ready to swing into action next week under the direction of enthusiastic volunteers from the community. Last year 122 families were helped by the Bureau. This year's plans are much the same,' with an added emphasis on the need for gifts and clothing for teenagers. Chri• stmas Co-ordinators will operate depots in Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham and Exeter. Donated gifts and clothing will be recieved and sorted at these centres next week, and distributed to families the following week. Mothers will be given appoint- ment times to come to the depots to make their choices. They will also receive cheques to assist with Christmas dinner, and to buy gifts they might not be able to find at the centres. Families needing Christmas assistance can be referred by Public Health Nurses, Family Benefits, Social Services or Children's Aid Society Staff. Individuals, groups or families • • • themselves are welcome to telephone the Society if there will be little under the tree this year. Up until a few years ago Christmas was run entirely from the Children's Aid Society offices in Goderich. Boxes of gifts and food were packed and delivered all over the county. The present system is much more satisfactory. Mothers can now shop in their arca depot, knowing exactly what is most suitable for their family. Delivery can be arranged if requested. Each year volunteers assume more responsibility in running of the Bureau. Their suggestions arc helping to improve co-ordin- ation and to meet families' needs' better. Response to the Christmas appeal has always been excellent, and is increasing each 'year. Church and service groups respond most generously. Indi- vidual donations are also inpor• tant in enabling the Bu eau to brighten Christmas i our area.

From the Minister's Study Speaking of motivation BY EARL K. ST, JEAN, UNITED CHURCH, KNOX UNITED CHURCH, AUBURN • Culture blunts the natural inclination towards self-motivation. It substitues a number of compulsions of a specialized nature imposed by the needs of state and society. Group behaviour has three levels of motivation. The first is through a set of lofty ideals or religious values which need little or no punitive reinforcements. The second level is behaviour through choice between rewards and punishment. The third is to obey the laws so that; one avoids punitive measures and this -leads to disobeying and not getting caught...or crime. Curiosity and a thirst for awareness of all the forces at work in our environment is an infant's basic equipment. He is motivated to explore, to ask questions, to discover the world he lives in. At the moment of birth he hears his oivn voice and the whole world of sound register en his ear -drums. Touch and sight instantly flash upon his consciousness. To adjust to these the infant gropes with curiosity to explore a fantastic environment -half friendly and half hostile. Weight is a new force and falling is a reality. He becomes aware of physical, psychological and spiritual support in some sequence or other. He becomes aware in days of the responses he can obtain and of his needs. The child's own mechanisms suffice in his very initial stages and one can only wonder why theX should not be trusted absolutely throughout, life? From this point onwards one establishes a kind of formal education in which the child's own point of experience is made to tit more and more into a given pattern, The child's own motivation is seen less and less essential and' conditioning by• rewards and penalties is used to make the child fit a cultural mold. At the very moment a child should be motivated by his curiosity he is placed in a rigid, regulated if not regimented system of education. The purpose of this education if found outside of the child and the child is completely controlled by pressures from outside himself. He has to be equipped to earn a livelihood and to fit and adjust to the norms of society. He becomes a cog in a big wheel. The child's own motivation has been so systematically eliminated that we seldom see the switch at all, There is other evidence that our society finds little hindrance to blotting out the potential of the individual for some social good. Church membership or churchmanship at one point had little of the modern phenomenon of spiritual fatigue. The feeling of exhaustion and emptiness found in the effort to keep the church goings becomes a burden weighing many tons, People are able to say to each other; "I've done my share...let someone else take a turn", No part of our life suffers more from the strangultation of our own personal motivation than our spiritual life, Challenge to the whole of our being is rare because we address either our moral mores, our social status or our material competence but rarely the total identity known as the soul. Jesus faced motivation and Paul did battle with it as the spirit. of Pharasaism but it is simply the reducing of our motivation to the lowest possible scale of decency, Law-abiding is no criteria of excellence but of a demeaning degeneracy! The commandments of Moses suggest a very unusual God; "for 1, the Lord Thy God, am a jealous God visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me and showing mercy unto thousands (of generations?) of those who love me and keep my commandments." Motivation in a spiritual sense has to be placed squarely on the basis that the total person is involved. This means identifying ourselves well beyond social assets, status points or material competence. Somewhere along the line our culture short-changed our total being and left us with a defused mechanism that can no longer release the potential within us. . When we really want a.church to be on fire spiritually there will be no spiritual fatigue because we shall be involved in totality...not as social climbers, status -seekers or material tycoons but as men and women motivated as immortal souls rather than as, well -adjusted personalities. Confrontation with God in the final analysis must take us well beyond our cultural credentials. • DR. QUINTON J.

The Committee had recommended that the meet- ing'day be changed from the last Friday of the month to the last Tuesday. The recommendation of change was introduced following an article which appeared in the November 4 edition of the Exeter Times Advocate indicating that a member of the council was unable to run for reeve or deputy reeve since the regular County Council sessions were held on the last Friday of the month and Friday is usually a busy day for people in busines During discussion on the recommendation many council- lors indicated their willingness to make the change though a few felts that it did not 'seem totally logical to make a meeting change for the sake of one candidate who had yet to be elected to the body. The recommendation was final- ly turned back to the new council for the 1977-78 term of office. In other business arising from the Executive Committte report County Council .agreed to begin organization of a microfilming project of County records. The committee had discussed the advisability of microfilming or otherwise retaining the, various documents and materials in indexed by the students who had completed the History Project in 1975. Some of that' material is already on microfilm, but, the committee noted, it would seem that unless a minimum of two other organizations or institutions are interested in securing copies the cost would be prohibitive. The Committee had authorized the Clerk to arrange a meeting with Cathy McKinley, Project Co- ordinator in 1975, and the County Librarian to determine exactly what records or documents should be microfilmed or other- wise retained to ensure availabil- ity. When this has been determined, the University of Western Ontario, the Huron County Board, of Education, the Huron County Historical Society, as well as any other agencies who might have.• an intevcst in the nistdry of Huron County are to be contacted to determine what records they may have or wish to have in their safekeeping. Five University Scholarships were announced and confirmed at last Thursday's County Council Session. Scholarships are award- • ed to students having`a'cumula- tive average of. -""A" and represent $100.• Three students at the Univer- sity of Guelph were named for the awards; Leonard Miltenburg of R, R. 7, Lucknow, Avon Toll of R. R. 3, Blyth, and Mary Miltenburg of R. 'R, 7 Lucknow, At the University of Waterloo County Scholarships went to Donna Renwick of R. R. 1, Clifford and Tony Roest of R. R. 1, Clinton. The Executive Committee re- ported on a meeting with representatives of the University of Western Ontario • and the University of Waterloo in connec- tion with bursary awards, There were 42 applications for the 10 $100 bursaries for students at • Western and 26 'applications for students at the University of Waterloo. Acting on a recommendation from the Executive Committee the Council approved the intro- duction of the Canada Savings Bond payroll saving plan, The action was taken following re- quests by a number of employees that the County adopt the scheme. In previous years County Representatives on various local hospital boards have been invited to the Novcniher session of Council to present their reports. As a result, the reports were not always completed for the same period of time, making compar- ison costs difficult. It Was agreed that in future the representative be requested t9 Blyth native dies at 59 MISS ALICE LEiTH A native of Blyth, Miss Alice Leith, now of Listowel died at University Hospital, London on Nov. 23. 1976.

THE BLYTHH T4NDARD, DECEMBER 1, 1976. $82,0004efiti may close Vanastra pool By the end of 1976 it is expected that the Vanastra Swimming Pool will have accumu- lated a total deficit of $82,000, -Approximately $40,000 of this deficit is capital equipment which was not included in the original debenture issue. : The deficit projection come to light at County Council last Thursday as part of the report of. the Development Committee, The Committee noted that it had no recommendation to make, but only wanted to bring the matter to the attention of council for its information and discussion. Council generally agreed that every municipality in the County of Huron has residents making use of the facility. It has been indicated however, the committee explained, that it is possible this facility will close if additional financial arrangements cannot be made, Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin Thompson told the meeting that he would "pull the rug out from under" the operation in the near future because it could not "go on losing money like that." While he agreed that everyone ' in the County was benefiting from the pool he said there was "no way you can make recreation pay for itself." .Gerry Ginn, Reeve of Goderich Township, suggested that oper- ations of the pool was a "timely topic when we've .just had a recreation study and are talking about area recreation." "As far as I know," he added', "the only people I know who can, survive year after year by losing money are farmers," Mr. Ginn did note thathe did not think the pool should be dropped immediately, In other Development ;Com- mittee Com-mittee business the Council learned that W. Morgan, Mana• ger of the Southwestern Ontario Travel Association, had met with the committee on November 16 and outlined the proposed pro- gram for the Association in 1977. The Association is proposing to reprint the Huron' County bro- chure, as well as the brochures for the other seven counties, together with other advertising in 1977. Each of the counties in the region will provide a grant of $3,500 to S.W.O.T.A. Ceiling on' top county salaries said discriminatory Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson called a $1,508 ceiling on salary increases "discriminatory". and called for a recorded vote when , the Special Committee tabled its recommendations for salaries at Huron County Council on Thurs- day afternoon: The vote • lost 49.5 but Mr. Oddleifson told County Clerk- Treasurer BiII Hanly to be sure his name was recorded as being in objection to approval of the recommendation. - Mr. Oddleifson was protesting a clause in the committees recommendation which said that a "six per cent increase be granted to each of the Executive Group personnel, to a maximum of $1,508." The Bayfield Reeve said that if everyone else was entiled to a six per cent increase in salary it was descriminatory to place a ceiling on the two top paid County employees. Those affected by the ceiling were Medical Officer of Health, ' Dr. Frank Mills, who earns $37,024 per year, and County Engineer Jim Britnell, who receives a year salary of $32,578, after the increases. Oddleifson said 'it was not the money he was objecting to but that it was a point of principle. Warden Jack McCutcheon, who headed the Special -Commit- tee made up of council executive committee and the chairmen of all its other committee, said the limit was put on the increases for the two employees because of provin- cial government regulations on such increases. The government pays a large portion of their salaries, he pointed out. Stanley Reeve Anson MKinley said the men were given' 11 per cent raises last year, which were much larger than those given other employees. He told the meeting that the lower end of the pay scale was held back last year and this year would make up for that inequality. Stan Profit, Reeve of Goderich, said he did not agree with theBayfield Reeve's objection. He said because it was a percentage increase, all. employ- ees appeared to be getting the same treatment, when in fact the "higher paid help" was getting significantly more money. Before the increases the M.O.H. received $35,520 and the Engineer $31,080. , Other increases include $1,456 for the Clerk -Treasurer and $1,274 for the Deputy Clerk -Trea- surer bringing their salaries to $25,870 and $22,360 respectively. The Pldnning Director will receive ari increase of $887 bringing his salary to $23,062, the County Librarian gets $656 more bringing the salary up to $17,056, the Administrator at liuronview now earns $19,292 after a raise of $742. The Social Services Admin- istrator received and increase of $634 to raise his salary to $16,484, the Development Officer got $611 bringing his salary of $15,886 and the Museum Curator received $520 in increases bringing his salary to $13,520. The sailing wasn't a great deal smoother for a recommendation that Mileage Allowance be in- creased, effective January 1, 1977, from 14 cent to 16 cents per Museum. attendance down According to a report by Huron - County Museum Curator Ray- mond Scotchmer to the County Council last week, attendance over the past year was down slightly (19,000 last ycarto 18,000 this year) but because of higher admission fees the income act- ually increased somewhat. The highest rate of attendance was in 1972 when 25,000 visitors passed through the museum of Goderich. Early this ycrar the Museum hired a Registrar to do catalogu- ing as well as helping in making of new labels, Registrar Nancy Beaver also worked some week- ends to lighten the load on other staff. • '. mile for ,those receiving the car allowance of $60'• per month and from 19 to 21 cents per mile for casual mileage. Exeter Reeve Clarence Boyle told''the meeting that anyone who would take 20 cents per mile was "a robber." • He said that even if petrol•goes to $1.00 per gallon it would still only cost him $6.00 to attend a County Council meeting where he received a free meal "Which I should_ not get"' and $12.50 renumeration. "I would still be making a profit by corning here," he said. "and 1 shouldn't." '• Goderich Reeve Stan' Profit suggested that at least the County Councillors should be taken off the list of those to receive the .21 cents in milage. Warden McCutcheon sugges•, ted that "that is easy for someone who walks to meetings to say," In the end council approved the increase in mileage rates as well as an increase in the per diam rate for Councillors. That arate will be increased from $44.00 to $46.00 for a full day or night meeting and from $27.50 to $28.50 for a half day meeting. The Warden's Honorarium was increased by the same motion by six percent ' from 1977; from $2.500 per. annum to $2;650 per annum' Warden McCutcheon told the meeting that ,increases for the council members were often left without moving up ''to reality" so, that one council was left having to make one large increase. The increases he said .were in "keeping with the times.' 11.

Councillors wanted the_. agricultural component of Huron presented more fulling and the site of the International Plowing Match for 1978 to be marked on the centrefold map. It was also stressed that a number of other pictures should be changed as there were too many of Goderich in the 1976 edition fir the liking . of the majority ofcouncil members. The Deelopment Committee also reported to _council on a meeting with the local committee of the international Flowing Match to discuss the' financial aspects of the 1978 match, It was noted that the Bruce county Local Committee budget for .1976 was $130,000 which indicated that the- Ontario Plow• men's Association had guaran- teed $115,000 of the total budget. The Ontario Plowmen's Asso• ciation have also indicated they will advance the Local Committee $3,000 the 'year prior to the match, and $7,000 the year of the match, which is repayable when the event is bvcr. . -- - Council endorsed recommend- ations coming out of'that meeting That all expenses of the County exhibits for 1976 and 1977, and advertising the 1978 I,P.M. would be borne by the Local Committee. The County will loan the Local Committee funds as might be required, on request. If the Match is a financial success, after all expenses of the Local Committee are paid, the County would be ' repaid up ' to the maximum loaned. It was --also . agreed that the. County. will be entirely respon- sible f the d t,of the County exhibit t the match. Conci also agreed to a further loan/of $1,500 in 1976 and provision be made in the 1977 budget for an additional $5,000. In another area the Develop- ment Committee reported on a meeting with Tree Commissioner Murray Scott and Assistant Tree commissioner J. Dietrich to review activities in that depart- ment over the past year. Thirty permits have been issued by the commissioners to clear trees, most of these being in connection with small areas being cleared to square fields. • Concern was expressed at that meeting over the maximum fine under the Trees Act. It was felt this was not a sufficiei}t deterrent for farmers .:Ic aring land. It was learned '• that Lambton County, which has a by-law similar to 'Huron's; has been successful in charging both the bulldozer oper- ator and the owner, when land has been cleared in contravention of the by-law. It was agreed that in future this practice .would be,• followed, in Huron. To the Electors of Blyth, East Wawanosh and Mo for the Huron County ation, l ask for your support December the 6th.

Report from Queen's Park Sales tax reduced BY MURRAY GAUNT M.P.P. HURON -BRUCE Treasurer Darcy McKeough in his minibudget last week said he proposes to extend indefinitely the exemption of the 7 percent sales tax on production machinery and equipment bought by private industry, and increase by two percent to 12 percent the credit allowed on foreign taxes by corporations. This is being done, according to the Treasurer, to create new investment and additional jobs, and at the same time maintain the competitive footing of the Province and Ontario firms in bidding for investment and business. The Government's main feat is that it will lose to U.S, border regions some of the jobs already in the province of it increases its tax bite. The measure will cost the Government $160 million. in his statement, Mr. McKeough nrnmised to limit the Government's spending increase next year to 9,6 percent, a jump of 1.2 billion to a total of 13.8 billion, although this year's announced limit of 10,4 percent has already grown to 11.5 percent. The interest on the public debt will top $1 billion for the first time next year. hitting 1.042 billion, up 16.8 percent, The Ontario Government is inviting advice on -the ecdnomy frill labour, business, consumer, farm and social service groups at a public conference to be held in February.

Through the abuse of its taxing power, Ottawa has seriously damaged resource development in Alberta and British Columbia, By subsidizing tratisportation cost, by income transfers and by locking Atlantic Canada and other regions into Central Canada's economy, Ottawa has forced those regions into dependence. Ottawa has used its taxing power to grab control of provin- cial matters and force provinces into extravagant schemes against their will. This year's federal health and welfare spending is $10.93 billion, 25 per higher than Ottawa's total budget of just 10 years ago. Of all the world's industrialized countries, Canada is the (east suited to collectivist doctrines, Small packets of people stretched over 3,000 miles simply cannot be jumbled into one big container. Of all the world's industrialized countries, Canada is the one best suited to a political philosophy based on decentralization of power. Yet politicians and bureaucrats ape the policies of close-knit, homogeneous countries such as Sweden and Germany which are as different from Canada as chalk from cheese, Natural forces are reversing the centralization process. _The econ- omic and social pressures created by costly energy and slow• economic growth will encourage the development of small-scale technology and small-scale indus- try more widely dispersed throughout Canada, Speaking this month at an international symposium, Canad- ian Federation of Independent Business President John Bulloch warned that if Western countries fail to reinforce these natural pressures toward decentralization they "will become increasingly difficult to govern by democratic means; and our democracies will be replaced by various forms of bureaucraticauthoritarianism and central planning", Library's literary freedom policy brings complaints Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson vigorously protested the endorse- ment of a 'Statement on Intellectual Freedom' which was attached to the report of the Library Board presented to Huron County Council at its November meeting last Thursday. By endorsing the statement, Mr. Oddleifson said, it indicates t'we agree with the new morality." "Today, we pick up a book and find it contains nine -tenths foul language,"he told the council. "(do not believe in censorship but there must be some way we can !ncreases announced forweIfare recipients Huron County Council ap- proved an increaseof eight per cent in the amount they will pay toward the cost of dentures and eyeglasses for those receiving welfare assistance, • The increases were brought before the Council's November session last Thursday in the form of a recommendation from the Social Services Committee, The eight per cent increase will go Storms strain road budget Huron County Engineer J. W. Britnell is presenting preparing a draft budget for 1977 consisting of the normal maintenance items plus the road and bridge , construction items as approved by the County Council in their Long Range Construction Plan. The draft is expected to be ready for the December session of County Council. According to Mr. Britnell the recent early snow storms have caused a strain on the 1976 budget but his department still forecast that all projects can be completed . within, the, original budget and finish' with a small surplus, A six per .cent wage increase; across the board, was approved for employees of the County Roads Department.

The $45 paid toward bifocals is now up to $48.60 and will increase to $51.50 on January 1, The council was also told that the Parental Relief Program is now operational throughout the year at the Bluewater ,Centre for the . Developmentally Handi- capped.' This is a similar program to the Vacation Care Program being provided at Huronview, control this sort of thing," "1 am not a crusader," he said, "but I want to express my distaste with the recent direction Canada is taking in this field." County Librarian W. Partridge told Mr, Oddlcifson that "just because a book has some foul language should not mean that we refuse to buy it." He said it ‘vas important to look at the book in its complete context. "I feel a sense of revulsion," the Bayfield Reeve said. '.'In: many cases it makes me feel sick that our children should be exposed to this." Tuckcrsmith r Reeve Elgin 'Thompson indicated that he felt much the same .as did Mr. Oddlcifson. ,Stan Profit, Reeve of Goderich, said. that to argue with Mr. Thompson and Mr. ,Oddlcifson would be. like trying to argue with the "senior , citizens and mon- archy of County Council". "It's up, to, you,." he told the. councillors, "don't, pick .the book up an&don't read it.;' "I'm glad my children arc older because the filth and dirt that children today can obtain is just not' up` my' ally;" Seaforth`Reeve3 John Flannery noted. It was clause four of the seven clause statement around which the controversy was centered, That clause noted that "freedom. of the press requires freedom of 'the writer to depict what is ugly, shocking and unedifying in life when such depiction is made with serious intent."

THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 1, 1976. By BILL SMILEY 1 got talking to a chap at the curling club the other evening. He seemed a pleasant, straight- forward, friendly sort of bloke and we bought each other a drink. "My name's Jake, Jake Sloan he introduced himself. I reciproc- ated, Somehow the conversation got around to Canada's immigra- tion ra• g tion policy, which seems to be disturbing a good many people these days. 1 asked hint what he thought of it all, "Oh, 1 got nothing against immigrants," he said, expansive- ly. "the country needs them." i asked him why. "Well, we gotta have Chinese and Greeks to run the restaur- ants," he opined, "for one thing." "Yes?" "And we need the Japanese for market gardeners, and the Eyctalians for construction work and running the fruit stores." "Is that all?" "Well, we need a lotta hunkies for the heavy work, like, you know, mines and longshoremen and all that," "You have no prejudices then, about allowing people into this country?" I queried. "Absolutely none," he replied firmly. "We gotta have them West Indians so as people in Toronto can' have domestic servants, and there'll be some- body to do the dirty work." "How about Indians?" 1 asked, "Well, I kinda feel sorry for them. They were here first, but now they're all drunk or on welfare or both." "Actually, I meant people from India. And Pakistan." "Oh, them, Well, I'll tell ya. A little bitta them goes a long ways, They're all too well educated. They come here with nothing, and first thing you know, they're doctors and teachers and all like About new Canadians that, and taking jobs from our own people, and thinking they're as good as we are, "How do you feel Europeans?" "Waddaya mean?" "Well, you know, French, Hungarians, Poles, Czechs, Yug- o -Slays..." "Oh, now, wait a minute. We got enough frogs already in this 'country. And them others, they're too smart. They come out here on a shoe -string, and before You know it, theyown 200a acres of prime tobacco land. or' they turn into architects, or they own a shoe factory and boss a whole lot of real Canadians around." "You haven't mentioned the Germans. We have a lot of them," "Ya, the Krauts are- O.K. They're clean and they're good workers. But you know what happens, ch? They save their money and first thing you know, they've bought a summer cottage and live like kings, just like they won the war, or something." "I presume that you'd have no objections, then to a steady flow of immigrants from the U.K., English, Welsh, Scots, Irish?" "Well, 1 wooden go that far. The Limeys are sorta hoity-toity, like they got a plum in their mouth. The Welsh can sing, but, they're crazy. The Micks arc asked rather desperately, "or the Arabs?" "Well, now, the Portuguese tend to crowd together in the cities. They'd be O.K. if we had a sardine industry. or lotsa olive trees. But we ain't. A few of them Arabs might be awright, if they brought some of their oil money with then. 1 wooden mine being an Arab, you know," here punching pie jovially with an elbow. "Three or four wives, an 1 hear all ya gotta do to get a divorce is clap your hands three times an say 'I divorce you!' Priddy neat, ch? 1 agree it was priddy neat. "You certainly seem to have an open mind about immigration," 1 suggested. "But if youwere to become Minister of.

"No way. Them spies arc always -having revolutions and such, And half them can't speak any English. No, 1'd like to sec us thrown wide open to Australians, They're pretty mouthy but they're good drinkers, like Canadians, And besides, they're so far away we wooden get many of them." 1 shuddered. "Next," he said, showing that he was in touch with world affairs, "I'd welcome a whole slew of them Rhodesians, if they irafta get outa their own country. The They're whitegood,workers, and they know how to keep the blacks - in their place, Just to make sure they didn't take a lot of good Canadian jobs," he chortled, "we could send them up to the Mackenie River area to sort out the Indians and Eskimoes." It was getting on. 1 asked Jake, from a combination of curiosity and politeness, what his own ethnic background was, as 1 .couldn't even imagine it. "Oh, I'm a pure Canadian. My grandfather was Polish, and he married niy grandmother,, who was half Scotch -half Indian. My ole man changed our name from Slovinski to Sloan. We're third - generation Canadian." I went home and washed out my brain with soap and water, and v,ondered, for not the first 'ime, at nay fellow Canadians.
