Making use of a brother's shoulders put the youngster well up in the world and made Santa have to look up, not down for a change. Inside Editorial Pg. 4. Church Pg. 7 Classified Pg. 14 Entertainment Pg. 15 Deficit mounts with snowbanks The snow comes down, and the deficit in the Blyth village roads budget mounts. Blyth Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh Monday night forecast a deficit in the road budget of about $9,500, but said that •savings in other departments may mean an overall deficit of only about $1,000. Mr. Walsh said his project shows total expenses for the year on roads of 143,000 compared to the budgeted figure of $38,000. Meanwhile the provincial govern- ment cutbacks had decreased the provincial road subsidy to $17,000 from a budgeted figure of $21,900. The road costs went over budget because of four major factors: heavy snowfall last winter, an expensive new drain that was not planned for, repaving of some streets which had not been in the budget and this falls heavy snowfall, The snow removal expense of 1976 for instance totalled $6,200 at the end of November compared to $4,600 for the whole ' of 1975. Several areas including recreation and administrative budgets however were under the predictions meaning a total saving of $8,500, leaving an overall deficit for the year of about $1,000. "1 don't think it is too bad looking a picture at all considering everything," Councillor William Howson remarked. In other business Len Rooney, superin- tendent of the Blyth-Hullett dump was present to ask for posting of "no trespassing" signs at the dump because of the number of snowmobiles running through the dump and the possibility that someone might get hurt. A great deal of vandalism has taken place at the dump as well. Council again considering snowmobile ban in Blyth The annual discussion of the need for a snowmobile control bylaw for Blyth is on again. Complaints have been flooding in to village councillors over snowmobile abuse and councillors indicated at Monday night's council meeting that if the situation doesn't improve, the long -discussed by-law will be brought in. Every year for several years the by-law has been discussed but every year the complaints have subsided and the by-law has been forgotten. Last year tough new regulations by the Ministry of Transport and Communications were brought in and council felt this would solve manyof the problems. But this year the early snowfalls has brought new complaints. OiI, gasleasing companies causing concern in area According to Maurice Bean, first vice president of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, farmers should take oil and gas leases seriously. A number of inquiries .have been coming in from the area offices in this regard, he said. Leasing activity has been particularly strong in Morris township. ' Mr. Bean said farmers should request the person representing -the oil company to produce his licence from the Ministry of Energy before discussing any oil leasing arrangements. The going rate for leasing land is $1.00 per acre, however the Federation of Agriculture notes that some farmers have been approached to lease their property at 50 cents per acre. Farmers should know, Mr. Bean said, that the lease will be registered to their deed for the total term of the lease. If an oil company is in defaultof payment in subsequent years the land owner will discover that this lease remains attached to his deed until either the oil company releases It or the farmer gets legal help to provide that the said lease is in default, The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources provides all oil companies with a standard leasewithsections to protec tthe land owner from future liabilities. This lease is not intended to restrict in any way the use of other lease forms in regard to drilling for oil. All oil companies must also apply to the Ministry of Energy for a drilling permit. At that point the Ministry of Natural Resources insists on a strict control of all construction to protect, the land owner. Mr. Bean recommends that farmers should get legal advice if they are in any doubt about entering into an agreement with an oil company. In practice, the points out, it has been establishedthat farmer leasing with major oil companies have few complaints or concerns, but farmers should investigate and get as much information as possible before signing. Among the complaints are racing in Dinsley Street in the early morning hours, cutting across lawns, and use of snowmobiles near churches on Sunday mornings. A letters is to be sent to the local snowmobile club and a notice to be included in an upcoming issue of The Standard. Another notice upcoming in The Standard will be a full explanation of the sewage project. After the notice is printed, objections to the project will be accepted. The Ontario Municipal Board will be holding hearings on the project in the new year. Hearings will also be coming up in the new year for the official plan for Blyth. The initial round of four meetings will explore public opinion as to where Blyth should be trying to go in the future. The meetings will be held on four consecutive Monday nights beginning March 7 in Memorial Hall theatre. Roman Dzus of the Huron County planning department was present at the meeting to set up the schedule , for the sessions. The first will be a general meeting, the second deals with commercial and industrial planning, the third for residential and parkland and the fourth will be a summing up meeting. The senior citizens' housing project was again on the agenda as council voted to send a letter to Ontario Housing Corporation asking for confirmation in writing as to the status of the project. Reeve Robbie Lawrie, Councillor William Howson and Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh expressed frustration with the number of promises and demands made by OHC officials in telephone conversations that cannot later be pinned down. Councillors were generally in agreement that despite promises that work is ready to start. anytime, work will not begin now until spring. Despite the problems, however, the councillors received a nice surprise in a letter from the Blyth senior citizens club members who tahnked council for its work in fighting for the senior citizens housing, for the improvements to Memorial Hall and for its support of the battle to save Clinton Public Hospital. The letter was signed by all members of the club. So much for the mike Members of the Huron County Board of Education were offered an opportunity to try out a public address system at their December meeting_last Monday. The system- featured a cordless microphone, similar to the one now in use - by Huron County Council, but was totally portable and capable of operating from AC or DC current sources. On the whole Board members seemed to ignore the unit, finding it cumbersome to pass the microphone around the U-shaped meetint table each time someone wanted to speak. After about 30 minutes the PA was totally abandoned when it began broadcas- ting taxi calls in place of debate on educational issues, PG, 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 15, 1976,. Judy Howatt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Howatt, Londes• boro recently graduated from Fanshawe College School of Nursing, Victoria campus, London. Judy has been employed part time at Clinton Hospital but has accepted a full time position at Victoria Hospital, London. John EIIiottafter 'vice -chairman's job of Board When members of the Huron County Board of Education were given an opportunity on Monday afternoon to announce their candidacy to top Board positions, only present Chairman Herb Turkheim indicated, his intention to seek that position. There will be a contest for the chairmanship of the education coni:nittee, Chairman Turkheim explained to those seeking office that to have their name stand they must submit nomination papers bearing their own and the signature of two other Board members by the inaugural meeting on January 3.

WAYNE GRUB Ontario bean producers in vulnerable position A declining domestic market and increasing competition a- broad have put the Ontario white bean industry in a vulnerable position, Huron County bean producers were told Dec, 3. "The market for beans isn't increasing so if production goes up we're going to have to go for a larger share of the present market," Ontario Bean •Produc- ers' Marketing Board manager Charles Broadwell told the annual meeting of Huron County produ- cer in Vanastra. Mr, Broadwell said that more money has to be put into research and into developing new products in order to keep Ontario farmers competitive, He also outlined a five year marketing strategy aimed at gaining a larger share of the European market from Ontario's chief competitor, Michigan. Huron producers approved the plan, agreeing to up the grower's license fee from six cents pet hundredweight bag to 16 cents tc help cover the costs. .The increase, which must be approved by other bean growing counties as well, will also cover the present operating deficit the board is faced with. The election of directors to the board saw two directors voted off the board and two retained, Joe Miller and Phil Durand were elected to another one year term while Richard Erb and John Hazlitt failed to hold onto their scats. Replacing the two directors are Murray Cardiff who will be a director for the first time and Robert Allen, who had been a director before but lost in last year's election, Named as commiteemen to the board were Victor Hartman, Bev Hill, Nick Whyte, Don Moylan, Glen Miller, Jake Van Wonderen, Glea Hayter, John Paul Rau, Murray Dennis, Glen Ribey and Ken McConan. Director Phil Durand voiced sharp criticism of the Bean Board riding the packed meeting that "if the Board of Directors were not prepared to change the marketing system, you arc not going to have it very long. Mr. Durand said that the Bean Board was much too lenient in dealing with the dealers and was willing "to bail them out" when the dealers accepted more grade beans than they were supposed to, Mr, Durand also cited figures confidential from a consultant's study of the Boards operation which he said showed that more producers were getting a higher price for thcir beans. "If this marketing system is not returning at least equal' to Michigan bean producers be prepared to improve it or dissolve it," he said. Lloyd Tayor, chief executive officer of the Bean Board, said that ones used by the consultants did not tell what the actual return was to and therefore were not valid, Several farmers demanded that the report presented to the Board last be made public. Glen Miller was the most persistent telling the Board officials .that it really makes me mad to vote for a report and then can't sec it." Lloyd Taylor replied that the report contained confidential in- formation that could not be made public and that a person could not understand the full meaning of the report unless he sat down two days with a consultant and went, over it. Mr. Miller asked if the Board of Directors understood the report and when Mr. Taylor said they aid asked if he could see the report if he sat down with a director and went over it with him for two days. "That would have to be a decision by the Board," Mr. Taylor said. Board Officials were also questioned about a story in the Huron Expositor which quoted market analyst, Allan McGrath, as saying that farmers who smuggled beans to the United States were "lousy farmers". One Board officials suggested that the story might have misquoted Mr. McCrath, but the chairman of the meeting, Gordon Hill, interjected saying "1 think any farmer who sells beans over the border to the States is a lousy farmer. The question is are we in an Ontario system or not." Producers were informed that 66 percent of the 1976 crop had already been set at an estimated net return of approximately $17 per cwt. Mr. Broadwell said that the 1975 crop should be all sold by the end of January with the final payment to producers about 30 to 40 cents per cwt, Dr. Toll entertains Huronview residents Dr. Toll, of Seaforih, arranged and introduced a musical program on Sunday afternoon. The Seaforth Citizens Band which includes artists from the Seaforth, Dashwood and Mitchell arca played several marches and Christmas Carols. There were dance numbers by Sylvia Wilson, Lora and Lisa Strong; vocal duets by Paul Stewart and Ann Allen; . Cathy and Vicki Ororke; Jack Gaiser and Stanley Haist. Peter Malcolm played two selections on the bagpipes and Douglas Stewart led a Carol sing accompanied by Miss' Papple, Pearl Gidley thanked the entertainers on behalf of the residents. The annual Christmas Fair was held on Monday which gives the residents an opportunity to do some shopping. The gifts were displayed on 'tables in the Auditorium. The event is sponsored by the Huronview Auxiliary with gifts and donations from several groups in the County. Tea and cookies were served in the craft room in the afternoon by the Auxiliary. Twenty members of the Clinton Old Tyme Club entertained on Family Night with a program of music and dancing. The evening brought back many happy memories to the residents who had not seen some of the old tyme dances for forty years such as the waltz country, French minuet, waltz cadril, barn dance etc. Marie Flynn arranged, the program and shared the piano accompaniment with Mary Broadfoot, Frank Forrest and Norman Speir played violin. Harold Black and Hugh Hodges guitar, Andy Orr saxaphone and Bob Glenn did the calling. Elsie Henderson and Nelson Lear sang a duet during intermission.. Mrs, Hugh Love was welcomed to the Over 90 Club at their December meeting, Mrs. Myrtle Parker and Ethel Hill accompanied at the piano for a Carol Sing led by the Walkerburn volunteers. Everyone joined in singing Happy Birthday to Miss Mary Turner who celebrates her 100th birthday this month and Mrs. Florence Meston played a piano solo. Ten residepts enjoyed a bus trip on Wednesday afternoon to Simcoe to see the Christmas decorations. The trip was arranged by the Clinton Radar Club and was very successful.

We remember being frightened back on the day he was elected leader of the Liberal party by a visitor who observed that "everything ‘vill get better now". 'Through the election campaign that followed he was treated like a saviour by all who dcalth with him, by the adoring public, the ecstatic press and his exuberant party followers. The expectations of the ratan were ridiculous, that suddenly by electing one man, all the problems of the country would evaporate. Eight years later, the country is just as irrational about the man, but this time fnnu the other side. The hatred shown for the than is just as Gighteneing today as the adoration was then. The lastest manifestation of that hatred is the remarkable trend of everyone to land all the blame' far the election of the separatist government in Quebec on his shoulders. It is understandable that from a political standpoint the opposition leaders should promote this idea but its acceptance by so many of the voters (as evidenced by letters to the editor in newspapers) and even by members of the Liberal party is hard to fathom. Once again. it appears, Canadians want a simplistic solution to their problems. It is easier to blame Trudeau for all that is wrong than deal vvith the realities of the situation. The sad part of it all is not the fate of l'rudeau in all this, but the fate of a country which has such immature voters. flow great can a country become when it first takes a man as a saviour expecting the impossible of hint. then stakes him the scapegoat for all that is wrong. Hoy; can the country grow until the voters grow up? Doctors' income reports misleading livery year at least once a year we have headline stories in the newspapers and the radio and television about the supposedly high income of doctors. The figures given sound very impressive indeed and make one think that doctors are living high off the hog. Well to be sure there are few poverty-stricken doctors in Ontario these days, but the figures are very misleading. The figures quoted are usually the payout figures given by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. The nice big round figures are the gross incomes of doctors's practices, but are usually given as if they a ere the incomes of the doctor. It's as if the total sales figure of a company were given as its profit, without mentioning any of the Menses involved in running a business. Most doctors. especially general practitioners, have a good deal of expense not included in that gross figure. They have the expense of maintaining an office, of office supplies and of salaries for nurses and assistants working in the office to be deducted from the gross figure quoted. It takes little imagination to realize how much of the doctors "income" this can add up to. Quoting gross income without making this fact known is irresponsible both on the part of O.H.I.P. and on the part of the media onccrned.

BERRY Shannon stood motionless, tethered to the rear of the covered wagon. Suddenly, violently, strange hands jerked on his halter. He had always received the finest care at the O'Brien farm. but when he was stolen from them on their way to a new farm in Oregon, he soon learned of the cruelty of men and the harshness of nature. This book tells of his experiences. NEXT JUNIOR STORY HOUR is on December 21 at 1:40 p.m. Winter got you stumped BY KEITH ROULSTON I long ago came to the conclusion that 1 was not a very good journalist. My opinion of myself was reaffirmed this week by actions in Ottawa. If l was a good newspaper reporter I would, for instance. have stood up and cheered Charlie Lynch, president of the Parliamentary Press Gallery and columnist for the Southam Newspapers when he made a point of refusing to leave the room when the prime ministers of Canada and all 10 provinces asked the press to leave so they could do battle in privacy. I should have been on Charlie's side, but instead 1 thought he made an ass of himself. Freedom of the press is the big phrase these days. Following the Watergate scandal the right of the press to pray and report on anything in government was reaffirmed as one of the greatest freedoms of democracy. I'll heartily agree that there is too much secrecy in government, yet there are exceptions. Good journalists think they have the right to report on anything and everythhig. That's where 1 don't fall down. I don't see that it was particularly in the public insterest to have the press at the fast minister's conference. 1 have nothing against the public know - 'mg the facts d ,chat went on at the meeting but when the 'I'd be banished from the press club meeting is open to the press, particularly the television camer- as, the politicans spend more time playing to the audience than they do in really solving pro- blems. 1 do not, for instance, think that giving Rene Levesque a perfect platform to demean federalism is in the best interest of the country. 1 have no doubt that he would have used that platform to help promote his goal of separating Canada from the rest of Canada. Levesque is a very persuasive man. It is nearly 10 years since 1 heard hint speak to an audience of more than 1000 English Canadian students and 1 have no doubt he is even a better speaker now than he was then. He spoke in English, not his native tongue, yet he was so persuasive that 1, like the majority of the students there, came out of the meeting thinking he was right, that the only answer for Quebec. in . fact even for English Canada, was separation. it wasn't until his spellbinding manner wore off that one began to say, hey. wait a minute, but what about...and thus to realize that there was much more to the issue than Levesque had led us to beLeve. He is the most dangerous man I have ever heard speak. No, 1 don't think it was in the best interest of the country to let Levesque have his way. I'm cynical enough about the big-time media to think that many of the reporters didn't care so much about what is in the best interest of the country as what is in the best interests of the media. Like any organization the press, radio and television becomes an end unto itself after a while. Report- ers talk grandly about serving the public but too often they are more worried about getting a scoop, getting a by-line or getting a raise. They worry more what the gang in the press club will say about something than they do about the job they did than what the public will learn from their story. They get caught up so much in writing an interesting story or getting an interesting camera angle, that they often lose track of the whole point of the job: to give the public a fair accurate picture of what is going'on. Since Watergate they see themselves even more as the natural enemy of governments. They'll drink the politicians free booze and laugh at their jokes, but when it comes to work, they're trying to "get" some- thing on every politician. Like so many things, of course, this is a generalization and generalizations in themselves are unfait. There are conscientious reporters, in fact probably most are when they get away from the job for a while and sit down to think about their job. But in the heat of battle, most get caught up in playing the "game" and forget that the press isn't the most important thing in the world.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 15, 1976. BY BILL SMILEY Most Canadians are pretty long-suffering. We seldom take to the barricades, set fire to the flat, or hurl bricks at the police. Canadian men put up with nagging wives for years, and accept it, on the whole with meekness. Nowadays wives not only nag, but they are, many of them, the crudest of materialists and the most militant of women's libbers. The husbands still go along without much more than an occasional snarled, "All right, then. You can put the bloody garbage out," Canadian women put up with undemonstrative, insensitive louts of husbands for years, chaos who were knowledgable about beer and hockey and poker, but wary of emotion and callous about the finer things in life. Nowadays, most husbands are still louts, but quite a few have escaped into the esoteric world of macrame, needlepoint, going to the ballet, and having their hair "done" every two weeks. And the wives haven't complained much, except for the occasional venoumous, "I remember when you were always trying to drag me into the bedroom." In fact, we are such non - complainers, that! everybody walks all over us. We shudder and whimper under a punitive tax system, but there's nary a bomb for the tax collector. We get royally and regularly screwed by everybody from mechanics to merchants, from supermarkets to surgeons, from restaurants to repairmen, and we grumble a bit, but almost enjoy it, as Confucius advised about rape, when it seems inevitable. We put up with dumb insolence from postal clerks, and stupidity from sales clerks, and bad manners from beer slingers and lip from hotel flunkies. And we pay up, mutter a bit, and fade into the woodwork. We accept shoddy workman- ship from Canadian manufactur- ers, and go back for more. We eat fifth -rate meals in highway restaurants, vow we'll never go back, and stop at the same place next time, hoping for a miracle, only to be served the greasy, badly -cooked food and watery coffee we got last time. We are humble and contrite when some jumped-up pip- squeak of a civil servant, or some ulcerous creature in an employ- ment office, tells 'us we haven't filled out the form properly. Maybe we deserve it. Maybe it's time we reared up on our hind legs and started bitching about all the second-rate goods and third- rate service that are shoved at us. Maybe it's time we started yelling, and causing public scenes, and demanding proper service, and shouting for the general manager or the head Time Canadians were heard • Waiter, and complaining bitterly and heatedly when we encounter stupidity and insolence and slip shoddiness. We weren't always like this, you know. A couple of genera- tionsgo, Canadians weren't such patsies for the greedy. My mother was on good terms with the local merchants. But they had to ,froduce, and they had to compete, and if they didn't, they were in trouble. She trusted people about as far has she could throw them up in the air, and she was five feet two. She had a set of scales in the house, and she weighed every sack of flour or sugar that came in. If it was underweight, she'd skin the supplier alive, with her tongue. And 1 wasn't always such a dumb, complaisant member of the flock myself. I remember one incident. It was about two years after the war. I had spent a year in a sanatorium, and was on pension, but 1 was going to school, and working at hard labor during vacations, to support a wife and kid. 1 had quite a lot of visits to the Department of Veterans' Affairs. There 1 was treated, by one guy. a civil servant, like something that had crawled out from under a Hullett Happenings MEET THE TEACHER MR. MILLSON Mr. Bill Milison, who teaches the grade 8 class in our school has taught in Clinton Public School and here at Hullett before. He taught mathematics in both of these schools. This year he teaches senior math and senior boys' physical education. He is also the vice-principal of Hullett. MRS. MANN This year, the new secretary here at Hullett is Mrs. Mann. Before coming to Hullett, she was a secretary at Clinton Public School. Mrs. Mann lives in Clinton. Her favorite pastimes are bowling, reading ane sewing. Secretarial work has been her life profession and she enjoys her occupation very much. CHRISTMAS CONCERT This article is to remind you that tonight, Thursday, December 16 at 8:00 p.m. Hullett's annual Christmas Concert will be performed by Kindergarten and grades one, three, five, six.

This guy would say, "Take a scat," and ignore you for one, two, three hours. He had lost an arm in the war, and flaunted it, with his sleeve neatly pinned up. To him, I guess, secure with his pension, and his forever job doing nothing, we were scum, whose only purpose was to irritate him, and force him to do a little paperwork. One day, my flashpoint occurred. I'd taken an afternoon off work, lost half a day's precious pay, to see a senior official at DVA concerning grants for advanced studies. One -Arm waved me to a seat, and stood around shooting the breeze and drinking coffee for an hour • an hour and a half, 1 blew, "Listen, , you one-armed bastard! I've got one lung, and -1 think I've seen as much service as you have. If I don't get to see Mr. X in five minutes, I'm coming over the counter!" He could have cleaned me, even with his one arm, but he turned pale, bustled about, and in three minutes I was talking to the boss. It was that old civil servant's panic about getting a bad report. It was cruel, but I've never regretted it. That jerk needed straightening out. Isn't it time we started straightening out all the jerks? If anybody treats me civilly, I'll respond in kind. But from now on, if he doesn't I'll holler. Who's with me!

CARSON About a week remains until Christmas; and we shall celebrate the birth of aperson who would become known as the Prince of Peace, • But what, we might ask, does this Peace mean to 20th century man in an era when there seems to be anything but peace as wars rage, disasters prevail, and injustices continue on the upswing. We are confronted daily . with the news that multitudes fall victim to earthquakes, famines and other tragedies resulting in thousands suffering and dying each year, before they ,really have begun to live.,.and the world goes on. All this and much more, yet we in Canada, for the most part, don't give the realities of these sad facts more than a passing glance, Instead, we 'fat cats' continue to gorge ourselves as though there is not tomorrow,,.without realizing the truth of this for many of the world's peoples, Where is this peace to be seen? One thing is certain: It will not be found in a materialistic Christmas characterized by the question, "And what do you want for Christmas?"; nor will it be found in the mythological Santa Claus to whom the children make their many requests of "Give me, give me." Contrary to bringing about peace and lasting joy, this widely recognized and accepted lie has devastating results on the individual as well as the whole of society. It breeds green and lust for possessions, while at the same time it perpetuates the flasehood • the fantasy • that the joy of Christmas is a part of the fairy tale that lasts for only a season. How many times have you heard it asked, "Why can't the atmosphere of Christmas last all year?" The answer is simply, "It can and, for many it does!" But the peace of Christmas will only be a reality when it ceases to be a holiday (no matter how joyful) and becomes a Holy Day. The Infant Jesus was born into the world as the Prince of Peace and continues to offer the fulness of joy to all who will come to Him seeking the relationship of Life. If this is so, then, why be content with a temporary peace when the Master has so much more for you to experience? Indeed, unless you arc prepared to receive the greatest gift of all; unless you are prepared to receive into your heart and life that'which God has come to give you - even Jesus Christ - you cannot know the TOTAL PEACE...and Christmas will remain simply a holiday, albeit one on which gifts are exchanged in a certain atmosphere of love and joy. but one which will remain without true purpose for you Carol Festival held A large attendance for Special Sunday School Festival of Carols and Lessons at Blyth United Church Sunday morning. Greeting in to the Narthex were Bill Young and James Walsh. Ushers were Mr, and Mrs, Ron Henry and Mrs. Larry Walsh. Special Christmas music was rendered by the Senior, Inter -p mediate and Junior choirs, A short program was given by the Nursery and Primary classes of the Sunday School.

MICHAEL'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH FATHER JOSEPH F. HARDY Mass at Blyth every Sunday at 9 a.m. PG. 8, THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 15, 1976, Enrolment down in Huron County night schools In a report submitted to the Huron County Board of Education on Monday, Superintendent of Education R. B. Allan told the Board members that enrolment in night school programs had dropped across the County by approximately 100 students. His report noted that his was the first drop in a number of years and suggested "it may be attributable to the increased fees or the sharp reduction in the amount of newspaper advertising brought about by educational Mother wants early kindergarten entry for son Huron County Board of Educa- tion heard a delegation on Monday seeking admittance to Kindergarten of four year old Steve Martene. His mother, Mrs. June Martene and nursey school teacher Karen McEwing both told the meeting that they felt " the Board's reluctance to admit the youngster due to his age was unjustified. In a letter read into the minutes of the meeting, Mrs. Martene said she was appealing to the Board to "consider Steve's ,earliness for admission to kinder- garten on par with the child attending kindergarten at Clinton Public School now." "1 am under the impression that his admission was considered because he had attended a junior kindergarten in Woodstock last year and he will not be five until March of 1977," she said. Steve will not turn five until February of 1977. "As Steve's mother I see him indicating great interest in what his sister in Grade One is learning," she told the meeting, "and he has absorbed consider- ably what she has taught him," Karen McEwing of the Tucker - smith Day Nursery told the Board that it was her feeling that Steve was ready to start Kindergarten last September, even though he will not be five until February. "He has been enrolled at our Day Care Centre since October of 1975." she explained. "During that time, he has shown that he is very mature, physically, ment• ' ally, socially, emotionally and creatively." She said Steve knows the alphabet, how to write and spell his name, the basic shapes, colors, counting and number concepts. "His attention span is quite long compared to others of this age," she said, Trustee Dorothy Wallace asked Mrs. Martene if she had considered the age at which Steve would be trying to enter University if he were accepted into kindergarten now. Director of Education D. J, Cochrane pointed out that while there was no minimum age limit set for admission to University pr College, Steve's ability to get along there socially because he would be younger than his peers might prove a problem. Referring to the case of the child of five enrolled at Clinton, Mr. Cochrane explained that he had been a student in junior - kindergarten at Woodstock and once enrolled was subject to the compulsory attendance rules of the Ministry of Education. Others had been admitted at an early age he noted, but those had been cases considered on medical grounds or recommendations from the Robarts School in London. On a motion Molly Kunder the matter was finally referred back to the Education Committee for study at its January meeting. The motion stipulated that considera- tion would be given to changing the age for kindergarten admis- sions. - B. of E. inaugural— January 3 At its December meeting on Monday the Huron County Board of Education announced a num- ber of upcoming Board events. If required the Education and Management Committees will be meeting at 8:00 p.m. on Decem- ber 20. The Inaugural meeting, which will sec a number of 'new members as well as returning members sworn in, is set to be held on January 3 at the Clinton Board Offices beginning at 2:00 p.m. On January 10 the Committee of the Whole Board will meet in camera beginning at 1;00 p.m. followed by the regular session for January at 2:00 p.m. The Management and Educa- tion Committee will meet again on January 17 at 8:00 p.m., the Provincial Salary Conference of the O.S.T.C. will be held January 20, 21 and 22 and the O.S,T.C. conference for new trustees is set for February 10, 11 and 12. It was also announced that, in compliance with current union agreements, the Administration Centre in Clinton will be closed December 23, 24, 27, 30 and 31. Resolution approved The Huron County Board of Education has voted to support a resolution presented by the Prince Edward County Board of Education calling on the Minister of Education to have required courses in Canadian Studies include one credit in Canadian History and once credit in Canadian Geography, 'rather than the Minister's present. direction which calls for a History and Geography cred of or two History credits. All Board members excepting Molly Kunder supported the resolution. The Huron Board also support- ed a resolution from the Lanark County Board of Education requesting the Commission on Property Tax Reform to delay for a period of one year the implementation of the proposals' contained in the Budget Paper in order that they might be adequately evaluated by all concerned. Driver ed. teachers get increase Huron County Board of Educa- tion approved an increase in fees payable to teachers conducting driver education courses when it met at its December session on Monday. The Board will pay, retroactive to September of this year, $59,40 per student graduate for in car instruction and $10.80 per stu- dent graduate for classroom instruction. The increase repre- sents eight per cent across the board and is effective for the 1976-77 school year. restraints in 1976." Mr. Allan also pointed out that in his announcement regarding the 1977 General Legislative Grants the Minister of Education had said that for the upcoming year the maximum enrolment recognized for grant purposes for continuing education will be limited to the enrolment recogniz- ed for such purposes in 1976. According to the Ministerial announcement this is an interim measure necessitated by the widely differing interpretations to the definition of "continuing. education." In view of this, the Minister said, we will in 1977 review our policies and procedures regarding the funding of continuing educa- tion. Proposals will be circulatled to invite comment from school boards and from the community. The Superintendent of Educa- • 1 tion's report also presented some of the night school statistics for 1976. There are 333 persons enrolled in 22 courses at Central Huron Seconday School; 403 in 23 programs at the Goderich and District Collegiate; 215 in 15 courses at F. E. Madill Secondary School; 50 in five courses at Seaforth District High School; and 455 in 27 programs at South Huron District High School. ............................. would like to take this a op • : unity to thank the ate - p y ers of • Wawano trTownship for electing m = e he council.

CAWORD MOTORS CHRYSLER DODGE PLYMOUTH 357-3862 �R� PG, 10, THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 15, 1976. DEAR ANN: Will you please reprint your 12 Rules for Raising Children? 1 was in high school when I rid it the first time. Now, ten years . later, 1 have three youngsters and will appreciate it even more. Thank you, •Warren, Ohio DEAR OHIO: With pleasure. Here it is: 12 Rules for Raising Children 1. Remember that a child is a gift from God, the richest of all blessings. Do not attempt to mold him in your image, or that of your father, your brother, or your neighbor. Each child should be permitted to be himself. 2 Don't crush a child's spirit when he fails. And never compare him with others who have outshone him. 3. Remember that anger and hostility are natural emotions. Help your child to find socially acceptable outlets for these normal feelings or they may be turned inward and erupt in the form of physical or mental illness. 4. Discipline your child with firmness and reason. Don't let your anger throw you off balance. If he knows you are fair you will not lose his respect or his love. And make sure the punishment fits the crime. Even the youngest child has a keen sense of justice. 5, Present a unified front. Never join with your youngster against 12 handy rules for raising children your mate. This can create in your child (as well as in yourself) emotional conflicts. It also producesdestructive feelings of guilt, confusion and i isecurity. 6. Do not hand your child everything his little heart desires. Permit him to know the thrill of earning and the joy of deserving. Grant him the greatest of all satisfactions, the pleasure that comes with personal achievement. 7. Do not set yourself up as a model of perfection, This is a difficult role to play 24 hours a day. You will find it easier to communicate with your child if' you let him know that Mom and Dad can make mistakes, too, 8. Don't make threats in anger when you are upset, or impossible promises when you are in a generous mood. Threaten or promise only that which you can live up to. To a child a parent's word means everything, The child who has lost faith in his parents has difficulty . believing in anything. 9. Do not smother your child with superficial manifestations of Ontario Hydro boosts rural rates 25.6% Rates to the 750,000 customers served directly by Ontario Hydro's rural system will be increased January 1, 1977, it was announced today. The rate change will increase Hydro revenues from these customers by an average of 25.6 per cent. The effect of the increase on individual customers will vary depending on their consumption and customer classification such as residential, farm or cottage. For example, a typical farm customer's monthly bill of $38 will increase approximately $8,65 A typical residential customer's monthly bill of $28 in a low density area will increase by $7.33, Details of the rate increase; which conform to the intent of the Federal anti-inflation guidelines, are now being mailed to rural customers. In 1975, retail system revenues ‘14ri ►�r� ,, fell short of costs by $4,9 million, The deficit forecast for this year is $10,9 million. All bills issued after January 1 will be prorated. 1976 rates will apply from the last meter reading this year to December 31. Thereafter the newly -announced 1977 rates will apply. The rate increase 'reflects spiralling cost pressures upon Hydro in providing service. Ontario Hydro's total fuel bill for instance, including rising prices for coal, oil, natural gas and uranium, is expected to increase by 31 per cent in 1977, The Ontario Energy Board held hearings on Ontario Hydro's 1977 rates which included a detailed examination of all elements of bulk power costs and recommend- ed an increase in bulk power rates of 30.3 per cent to all wholesale customers, including the rural system. Ontario's present urban development st• dards are among the highest in the world. H ever, the standards set by our municipal' 'es vary considerably, a fact which in so ► • instances adds greatly to the cost of new hou 'ng. Your Ontario Governme believes that realistic development standards roughout the province would lead to continu-d high quality new housing, but at a lower cost. is case is strongly presented in a new report, " • rban Development Standards: A Demonstrati • of the Potential for Reducing Costs," issu: • by the Ontario Ministry of Housing. The repor •oints out how more realistic standards could si%nificantly reduce home mortgage paym nts, and indicates that adoption of such sta'dards would in some areas lead to more onomical use of land, energy savings, reduced ff_ 3l. �i%r: r:r::: r: r.!•:: fir%: • "love", The purest and healthiest love expresses itself in day -in, day -out training which begets self•confidence and independence. 1Q. Teach your child there is dignity in hard work, whether it performed with calloused hands that dig ditches or skilled fingers that manipulate surgical instru- ments. Let him know a useful life is a blessed one and a life of ease and pleasure -seeking is empty and meaningless. 11. Do not try to protect your child against every small blow and disappointment. Adversity strengthens character and makes us compassionate. Trouble is the great equalizer. Let him learn it. 12. Teach your child to love God and to love his fellow man. Don't send your child to a place of! worship, take him there. Children learn from example. Telling him something is not teaching him. If you give your child a deep and abiding faith in God it can be his strength and his light when all else fails.

There Is still a good deal of work to be done in the community centre portion of the building and in the lobby and dressing room areas but for hockey players who have been without ice to practice on, it's a big start. East Wawanosh gives more to recreation East Wawanosh township council voted at its December session held Dec. 2, to increase its grant to the Wingham Recreation and Community Centres Board. The increase is only $80 and reflects the increase in use of recreation facilities in Wingham in 1976 by township residents. The grant increase is to be in place of a surcharge being levied against township residents. In other business, Howard Walker, the township representa- tive on the Wingham and District Hospital board reported to council on the hospitals activities. The council passed a motion that the Nurses Assistant Training School` be continued because it was felt School board buys new that the graduates of the school are an asset to hospital services. Renumeration for the munici- pal election was set at $25 for use of a polling place, $30 for a deputy returning .officer, $25 for poll clerks and $100 for the returning officer. The road superintendent was asked to apply for $8500 in supplimentary road subsidy. Building permits were approv- ed for Leonard Robinson, pole barn; Ed Daer, implement shed; Harold McClinchcy, granary and Richard Moore, pit silo and loose pen, buses "Contingent upon Ministry of Education grant approval" the Huron County Board of Education moved to approve the purchase of six new school buses at its meeting on Monday afternoon. On November 22 the Manage- ment Committee of the Board discussed the advisability of the purchase and agreed to recom- mend that the move be carried out. Four of the new buses will be of 72 passenger capacity with the remaining two being fitted for 60 passengers. They are to be delivered during the period of January to August of 1977.
