BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 20 CENTS . VOLUME 87 - NO. 1. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1977.. ' Come home for the Blyth Centennial !July 30 Blyth firemen made quick work of a fire on Highway 4 just south of Blyth on Thursday afternoon. A dump truck was carrying furniture when the furniture caught fire, likely from the heat of August 1, 1977 the exhaust. It was one of the three fires that kept firemen busy on Wednesday and Thursday last week. staff photo. Firemen fight three fires in 36 hours Blyth Firemen fought three fires within a span of about 36 hours last Tuesday and Wednesday as the old year went out on a busy note. Their job was complicated in all three by bitterly cold weather. The first call came about 8:30 on Wednesday morning when they were called to the home of Mike ldzik on the sixth concession of Morris Township. They assisted the Brussels fire department in fighting a fire in the ldzik residence that did a good deal of damage to the front portion of the house, Cause of the fire, according to Blyth fire captain Jim Howson is thought to be faulty wiring. He estimated damage would be about $3000. Thursday afternoon firemen didn't have Hydro rates up 25% in Blyth Electrical power rates in Blyth will go up by 25 percent effective bills issued February 1. The increase is caused by an increase in the rate charged the utility by Ontario Hydro. The Hydro charge has increased 33.9 percent. The increase means an Wingham OPP report During 1976, Wingham Detachment officers investigated 342 Motor vehicle accidents, the greatest reduction in over five years. The 1975 total was 402, aso the reduction represents almost 15 percent. A detailed program of Selective Traffic Enforcement was initiated December 1, 1975, and Sergeant Len George feels that this, coupled with the • reduction in the speed limit law, was instrumental in this impressive reduction in accidents. An analysis of the accident reports substantiates established maxims. For instance, 80 percent of the accidents involve local people who should know the far to go when they were called to a fire on highway 4 just south of the Grandview Lunch restaurant. A large dump truck was being used to transport household effects of Don Henry of Markdale when the load caught fire, probably because of the fact flamible items were stored near the point where the exhaust of the truck enters the box to heat it. The driver dumped the load Editorial Pg. 41 Church Pg. 7 Classified Pg. 14 Entertainment Pg. 15 1977 taxes to be collected in June November Blyth taxpayers will be paying their taxes in June and November in 1977 instead of June and December. Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh asked council at its inaugural meeting Monday night for the change from December 15 to November 15. At present, he said the December 15 date means there is too heavy a work load preparing for the year end. With the present payment date, he said, there are too many taxes in arrears at the year end which complicates bookwork. In addition with county council and school board wanting payment on June 15 and November 15, it means Blyth must either borrow money or delay its payment, either of which means interest charges until the tax money comes in. Salaries for town employees were set at the meeting. The clerk -treasurer will receive $11,350 plus payment of 0.H.1.P. (split between the village and the Public Utilities Commission); Town foreman $10,250 plus O.H.I.P. The salary for the snowplow oerator will be $4.50 per hour and casual labourers will get $3.75 per hour. The animal control officer will continue to get $50 per month and the janitor $15 per month. Garbage collection will be paid at a rate of $15 per hour. on the roadside and firemen made short work of dowsing the flames. At 5:30 the same afternoon, firemen were called to the farm of Har ild Cunningham north of Londesboro where a dog kennel was destroyed by fire. Mr. Howson estimated the Toss of the building was aoubt $1000 but Toss could run much higher with the loss of several dogs which were killed by the fire. on Feb. billings additional $4 • 5.00 to the average Blyth householder. Blyth Public Utilities .Commission treasurer Larry Walsh pointed out that 15% accident roads, the intersections and hazards. Another is the tangible increase in accident •severity when it involves drinking drivers. There were fire fatal accidents which killed seven people. Two of the deaths involved elderly people; one a pedestrian, but the other five persons had been drinking, thre an alarming amount. Needless to say, alcohol's misuse is still society's para- mount problem in traffic accidents, policing costs, social and welfare costs, health care costs, etc. During the week December 27, to January 2, officers at Wingham detachment conducted 20 investigations. Eight charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act and 25 warnings issued. Four charges were laid under the Liquor Licence Act. One charge was laid under the Criminal Code. During the week, there were 11 motor vehicle collisions which caused an estimated $5,695.00 in property damage and injuries to 11 persons. On Tuesday, December 28, 1 Randal A. Pilton of RR 2, Amherstburg was injured as a result of a two -car ,collision on .

Louttit of Rr 1, Gorrie. On Saturday, January 1, Mary L. Strimas of Chatham and two passengers in her car, Paul G. Strimas and Melisa Strimas, also of Chatham, received injuries as a result of a collision on Highway 4, north of the Blyth • C.P.R. Crossing. Grant A. Vincent of Belgrave and Clayton R.

Lennox of Harriston. On Sunday, January 2, Ronald B. Henry of RR 1, Wingham was eastbound on Highway 86 when an unknown vehicle crossed the centre line and struck the Henry vehicle. Mr. Henry and a passenger, Marlene A. Henry were injured as a result. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 5, 1977. Former Huron Warden, Morris .native dies A well-known public servant and Huron County Warden and former administrator at Huron - view died at his Albert Street home, Clinton, on December 13, 1976, Harvey Chisolm Johnston, a School News After Christmas is over The tree is dry and brittle and has losts its bright, green colour. Christmas is past, the spirit is gone one way or another, The goose and Christmas pudding have all but been ate up. The gifts are put away and for the moment are forgot. The tinsel, and the bells and the brightly coloured balls are packed away in boxes and set upon the shelves. The poinsettia is now wilting and the tree is coming down, The .old familiar bareness around the room surrounds. And then year next it will come again and pick up the same old round. Like the poem says Christmas is over and many students are now woefully trudging back to school for the second term and hopefully trying to improve ther marks. Most feel their holidays should have been longer but there are a few who are glad to get back.

The new year is a time to look back at the past year and look forward at the corning year, It's a time to make resolutions to do better. One of the resolutions it would be nice to see people make would be to do more to help make their community a better place to live in. Let's face it, most of us just do our jobs and leave the work of running the community to others. That's why the same people seem to be heading the committees and the clubs all the time because they arc willing to do something and everyone else doesn't want the job. But a small community such as this needs thio power of all hands on the oars. We need everybody contributing their' talent, not only in their daily jobs, but in community work. Just think: if everyone in this community did just one thing to make the community better in 1977 how many good things w *mid be getting done.. Our community, our country, was built on the efforts of everyone pitching in for the good of all, if the pioneers of this wild bushland we now call home, had lived the kind of isolated lifestyle many of us live today, they'd have starved to death. We wouldn't have the fine village we have today. We shouldn't have the country we have today. We wouldn't be here period. That pioneer solidarity is something we must fight to retain. It is the thing that makes small town life unique. We've all got to be ready to give a little of our time, a little of our knowledge, a little of our skill to making this the best community the people living here can make it. If we could do that in 1977 it would truly be a year to remember. Let's make it a real centre The new Blyth arena and community centre is pretty well finished and ready for public use. It's truly a magnificent building and one that everyone should be proud of. It's also huge with so much space that those used to the old arena must wonder what to do with it all. The lobby alone is nearly as large as the whole lobby and dressing room area of the old arena. There is no doubt that the arena part of the building will be fully put to use. Let's remember, however, that the community centre was an important element in getting grant money for building. Let's make it a real community centre. The large auditorium will, of course, be the' scene of many dances and banquets in the coming years but with a little planning, surely it could be put to even fuller use. Could there not, for instance, be ping pong tables put in the room, tables that could be folded up and stored when the room is needed for other events? Could there, perhaps, be room in the large complex for a little space to be given over for a gymnasium for weight training? There are probably other activities that could be worked into the schedule of the new building to give it further use. Certainly the main use of the new building will remain as hockey, broomball and figure skating, but if it is to be a true community centre, it should cater to the recreation needs of those who may not enjoy any of those three major sports. The equipment necessary for many of the other activities that could be accommodated in the building is relatively inexpensive after the huge outlet that has been made for the building. Why not make the fullest possible use of the building? On trust One of the recurring themes today from politicians of almost every stripe is that of trust. The prime minister deplores the cynicism of Canadians about government, towards elected representatives as well as appointed civil servants. There must be more trust of government. You must trust us, say the experts. We know what's best for you. And we believe the question of trust and respect for the institutions of democracy are essential to the survival of a free society. However, that trust must be grounded in morality and it must be mutual in its very essence. Morality must have no double standard and respect can have no equivocation. Let us examine briefly a couple of examples. The scandals surrounding the Lockheed corporation's attempts to sell aircraft have reached into the deepest reaches of free society. One of the last royal families in Europe has been tainted with corruption and a former prime minister of Japan is in jail as a result of the exposure of Lockheed's sales techniques. All this was well known to Canadian officials who purchased a billion dollars worth of aircraft from these admitted corrupters. No one suggests that any Canadian was bribed, but can we expect to respect institutions which have no apparent difficulty in doing business with those who so easily corrupted others. Henry Kissinger in explaining American foreign policy that so readily accepts the governments of Brazil, Chile and Iran while deriding the leftists regimes of other nations, said that while he personally abhorred the admitted torture tactics employed in these countries that the U.S. could not base policy on the morals of others. There is some kind of distinction in these examples that misses the point. There is a placid acceptance that anything goes, that manipulation and double standards are acceptable, that the end always justifies the means. But, try to explain those subtle distinctions to a child. No wonder the credibility of government is low. Contributed Frosty Beauty etter to the editor Notice ill-timed Dear Editor Now that the sewer system for our village is becoming a reality, it was nice that it could have been announced during the Christmas season. The only thing (other than the cost) that should be drawn to everyone's attention is the 21 day clause; it is this clause which allows property owners to register complaints, etc., which should be stressed again. As many of you probably know by now, I am fascinated by the pioneers of this part of the country. 1 find the story of how they came thousands of miles across the sea in tiny sailing ships, with thousands of them dying on the long journey, how they came to a wild unknown land and within a very short time turned it into a rich farming arca, all simply miraculous. They came, most of them with nothing more than their determination to build a good life in a new land. With ax and ox and broad back these men and women took on the awesome task of cutting down thousands of trees to build their houses and plant their crops. This Canadian baptism in toil brought about a people who were at the same time proudly independent, yet. tremendously community -oriented in helping one another out. It is only in the present generation that this deeply inbred characteristic has sadly begun to die. We have so much to learn from these people. I was doing some research for a project the other day and ran across a couple of examples of how things were done in those days. Both come in the more or less post pioneer days of the 1870's after the land had been for the most part cleared and most farms were well established. The first case was of one Patrick Kelly a man in Blyth who had established a good export business for his lumber mill. He also owned a flour mill and grist mill and a door and sash factory. The problem was that competition was intense and he was at a t,. ' During the week that this notice was placed in the Standard, many were away, and some too busy to read the fine print of the notice, In this era of big government opportunities to speak up and be counted are limited, and it would be a shame if plyth citizens should forego the opportunity to speak up because of involvement with family, holidays, etc. I know that it was clearly printed, but a reminder to the import of this 21 day clause is not out of order. Sincerely, Ted Hoogsteen Ed. Note: To make sure everyone gets a chance to see the advertisement it is placed in the paper for two weeks, the 21 day clause applies only after the second insertion. The pioneers really have something to show us disadvantage because of trans- portation problems. The nearest railway station was 11 miles away and that meant long, expensive hauling by horse and wagon. The solution was simple: build a railway to Blyth. The accomplishment of that solution was another matter. Most people wouldn't have even tackled it. But here was a man who had come to the wilderness and built a business. He wasn't about to let a little thing like a railway stand in his way. He approached two railway companies before one agreed that perhaps he had a good idea. He then helped round up the municipal subsidies the company insisted on before it would build the railway. And finally, largely on the initiative of this one man, the railway was built and it served that part of the country for 65 years, long after Pat Kelly was dead. The other example was of a group of citizens interested in sinking a salt well, a popular business in the 1870's. They met at a local hotel, formed a company, issued shares and got down to the business of drilling the well. Within a few years they were shipping salt by the railway carload out of town. Imagine the two situtations today and how differently they would be handled. We'd all sit around, for instance, crying about the need for a railway and saying the government should build it. If it didn't, we'd do without and sit around and bitch a lot. Likewise in the case of the salt well, we'd sit with our money invested safely in bonds or in a savings account in the bank while we deplored the fact that the government or some big company didn't come in and drill the well for us. If they did come in, we'd complain about the bureacracy of the government or the ridiculous profits of the company. This country's economy is in trouble because we have lost that drive that our forefathers showed. Our small towns arc in trouble because we have become timid, play-it•safers afraid to invest in our own future. Canada drifts slowly toward socialism and most people decry it but they don't do anything about it by getting involved in the capitalistic system themselves. We have opted out. Now things only get done if bit -city banks or investment houses think there is money to be made and they don't think there is money to be made in small towns. So they take our money. our savings invested in bonds or in banks, and use it to fuel the growth of large cities, or large industries, and thus sow the seeds of destruction of the small towns and the small town industries. 'line sad thing is that we have the resources in this very community to make it grow and prosper. We have millions of dollars that could be being invested back into the community instead of being siphoned off for "safe" investments in the cities. We have the power over our own future in our own hands if we want to take it. If we had the sante fighting spirit as our pioneer forefathers, we'd take it. More likely, however, we'll "play it safe' and blow our chances. Just think, if the pioneers had "played it safe", they"d still be in Scotland and Ireland and England and Holland and all those other European countries. 1 BELGRAVE NEWS Bureau editor MRS, LEWIS SIONLIIOUSE Good crowd at Euchre A good crowd attended the Women's Institute Euchre and dance last Wednesday evening on December 29, with music sup- plied by the Maran Brothers, There were 12 tables of euchre in play with winners being: high lady, Mrs, Jack Taylor; high man, William Gow; low lady, Miss Dorothy Higgins, Miss Marie Walsh and Mrs, Lewis Stone- house with Marui Walsh winning the draw; low man, Bruce Higgins; ladies novelty, Douglas Thampson (playing as a lady); men's novelty, lorne Jamieson.

Although a slight decline is predicted nationally, the dollar value of sales in Ontario is expected to increase by 2' percent in 1977. "The overall decrease in sales is not expected to be a dramatic one, but rather a matter of 1 or 2 percent," said Mr. Kessler, "But the results of the decline will mean equipment will be more plentiful anmchinery sales will once again become a "buyers' market." t. This will mean more competitive selling and better services for buyers," he said. Mr. Kessler said one reason for the decline in sales is the trend away from buying new equipment each year. He said many farmers are buying equip- ment only when it becomes necessary to replace old equip- ment, The present uncertainty in the economy is also a factor, he said. Prices of machines are expect- ed to remain stable in 1977 but industry spokesmen are predict- ing a continuation of the trend away from smaller pieces of equipment me in t nt q p favor of larger machines. The industry is forecasting a 71/4 percent decline in sales of tractors under 80 horsepower and 1976 sales reports show a 7 percent increase in sales of tractors with more than 80 horsepower. Further increase of 1' percent are forecast for larger tractors in 1977, Because of the trend to larger tractors, pull -type combines, swathers and windrowers are expected to increase in popularity again in 1977, fti THE BLYTl3 STANDARD, JANUARY 5, 1977.

'Tis Show Biz Looking back at 1976 in entertainment BY VONNI LEE Who would have ever dreamed, 35 years ago, that you would one day be able to sit in your own living -room and watch the great- est movie of all time in all its splendour? The year 1976 was the year big .movies made it to the small screen. Networks paid fortunes and in one particular instance, millions of viewers watched "Gone With the Wind" in two parts, once again sighing over Scarlett's fragile beauty and Rhett's bare chest and once again crying in their popcorn through the sad parts. In contrast to one of the greatest love stories that has ever been filmed, the top film of 1975, named in 1976, was a movie about life in an insane asylum. "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" to many maof the major Oscar awards 1 which I guess tells us how our tastes in entertainment have changed in 35 years. Hollywood lost many of its fine stars in 1976, among them actors • Lee J, Cobb who was 6 4; Godfrey Cambridge who collapsed on a movie set at the age of 43; Sal Mineo, stabbed to death at the age of 37 and actor -singer Jack Cassidy who lost his life in an apartment fire late in the year. He was known for TV and stage roles, played opposite Paula Prentiss and Dick Benjamin in "He and She". But he was best known as Shirley Jones' former husband (of "The Partridge Family") and David's father. Canadian native music director and arranger Percy Faith died of cancer at 67. Opera singer Lily Pons was dead a 71; Judith Lowry, at 86 a star again as Mother Dexter in "Phyllis", died in New York; and 18 -year-old Mary Anissa Jones, whom we all loved when she played Buffy on "Family Affair", died in L.A., another victim of the drug craze, Rosalind Russell, after a long fight, died near the close of the year, leaving many happy memories and great performan- ces for all her fans and friends to remember, In England, two great ladies of the stage, Dame Edith Evans and Dame Sybil Thorndike, passed on to greater rewards. And another Britisher honored by royalty, Dame Agatha Christie died at 85 while her most successful play, "The Mousetrap", continued to play on the London stage where it has set so many records. English actress Margaret Leighton was dead at 53. In Canada, French Canadian actress Denise Pelletier died during open-heart surgery. The news was not all sad, though. Cher and Greg Allman welcomed a son, Elijah Blue. And making all the rock -n -rollers of the 50s feel very old, Pat Boone welcomed a grandson, courtesy of his daughter Lindy. In our fair land, our favorite daughter Anne Ag. Professor honoured Professor George Elwin Raith- by, an outstanding contributor to all fields of agriculture was honoured at the Canadian Agri- cultural Hall of Fame Association dinner where William P. (Bill) Watson, guest speaker unveiled a portrait of Professor Raithby. The motion for this recognition to the Hall of Fame was made at the Joint Dairy Breeds 1976 Annual Meeting by Howard Laidlaw, Past•President for the Holstein - Friesian Association of Canada. During his 43 years as a member of the staff of the Animal Husbandry Department, O.A.C., Professor Raithby made an outstanding contribution to the livestock industry. As a teacher, he was particularly effective in training students in the broad field of animal husbandry and they, in turn, reacted by disseminating his teachings throughout the length and breadth of this country. While serving as head of the department, he was responsible for the introduction of several important projects, including the establishment of a steer finishing research unit, an expansion of the swine breeding and research facilities, and the establishment of an animal breeding laboratory, complete with data processing equipment, which is presently the heart of Canada's sire evaluation programs. Although primarily engaged in teaching and research, Professor Raithby was deeply involved in the development and execution of many breed association pro- grams. Recognized as an out- standing dairy cattle judge, he had the distinction of placing the awards at major shows through- out Canada, United States, Argentina and Australia, thereby exerting considerable influence on type standards and breeding programs in these countries. He also played a leading role in the formulation of the Selective Registration programs of dairy breed associations, and for many years was an official classifier of 1 the Ayrshire, Guernsey and Jersey breeds in Canada and United States. In recognition of his contribu- tions to agriculture, Professor Raithby was made a Fellow of the Agricultural Institute of Canada in 1952, and in 1973, was named Professor Emeritus at the Univer- sity of Guelph, the first person to be so honoured by that institu- tion, NATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK ON SMOKING JANUARY 9-15, 1977 JOIN THE MAJORITY - Be a NON-SMOKER.

In a year-end special, she proudly showed both Bills to an adoring nation, Frank Sinatra finally married longtime girlfriend Barbara Marx. Doris Day, recovered from the death of Marty Melcher which left her so lost, married Barry Comden and Bionic Woman Lindsay Wagner married Mike Brandon. Country singer Tammy Wynette found out she could 'make it on her own' without George Jones and was hoping to find happiness in another merger. Elizabeth and Richard, Taylor and Burton that is, decided they couldn't hack togetherness (again) and this time made it final. He married Suzy Hunt and at year's end, they await arrival of their first child. Liz married former U.S. navy secretary John Warner, her seventh marriage though sixth husband (she married Burton twice). The record goes to Zsa Zsa who married her seventh husband, a lawyer, after getting a divorce from Barbie doll inventor. Noth- ing like having legal advice handy! Speaking of needing a lawyer, the Dean Martins did. Kathy's extravagant spending was said to be a factor in the split. George Hamilton and Alana Collins split, a shame since he was ready to settle down after so many flings. Another sad parting of the ways was that of Angie Dickinson (Police Woman) and songwriter Burt Bacharach. Her TV success the main reason, the separation is especially sad since handicapped daughter Nicki badly needs the support of two parents. A,tradition ended in 1976 when radio newsman Lowell Thomas signed off the air for the last time. Don't know why he'd want to retire so young; he's only 841 And of course, the biggest joy ih Hollywood in '76 was watching little lady Totie Fields fight her way back to a normal life after so many tough breaks. Her story is the stuff of which movies are made! The entertainment world now faces 1977 - as do we all. May it be a good year for you and yours. Happy New Year!

GOING TO WORK FOR YOUR COMMUNITYI PG. 10.•THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARYS, 1977, BY BILL SMILEY 1 must admit that my feelings about the so-called "holiday season" are a bit ambiguous. There's no feeling of satisfac- tion greater than that experienced when the blasted Christmas tree is finally up and decorated. And there is no feeling more sinking that when your one -year-old grandson tries to climb it and pulls the whole pagan mess over on top of himself. For sheer gluttony, nothing can beat the Christmas dinner, speaking of paganism. But the sensual joy of stuffing oneself is slightly overcast by the knowl- edge that (in our house, anyway) one has first to stuff the turkey, and second, to wash the dishes after dinner, Then there's the Post Office, We used to know they were just trying to startle the early birds Holiday thoughts has spent 24 hours preparing, and tried out on her husband so often that he throws up at the mention of it, The social committee of our staff tried to have a Christmas party for all the teachers and it was practically a flop because so many could not make it, They were already signed up for such things as a free party for municipal employees and their spouses, a free party for employees of a large institution and their spouses, and various other worthy events, none of them designated to help the hungry of comfort the afflicted or the world. It's bad enough before. Christ- mas but the pace accelerates right • after the big day.

Well, our baccanialia comes to something of a grinding halt about the day after New Year's. We all lurch back to normal, suffer through the physical and financial hangover, take a look out at the falling snow and the falling temperature, and realize with a sickening thud of th heart that we ar enot, after all, living it up on the Riviera, but are stuck in the true north, strong and freezing, and there are still three months of it ahead of us. 5 tables at Blyth euchre party There were 5 tables in play the first game of the New Year, us those dates for Winners were: high lady, Sadie when they gaveMcdonald; high man, Bill Gow; mailing.

(Yes, Virginia, there is still at least one Liberal government left in Canada): "God help you, merry gentle- men, 'Cause no one else will do it.

Deploring the absorption of scarce capital by grandiose schemes, he declared the new government's intention to en- courage small and medium- size business which it regards as a "dynamic force". This illustrates the true mean- ing of the recent Quebec election result. Quebec may be a province unlike the others for reasons of language and tradition, But it's one very much like the others in terms of an inflated and under- productive economy, Too great a proportion of resources in the non-productive government sector, too much power in the hands of politically - oriented labour unions, too much power in the Big Government - Big Business conduit • Quebec's problems are different only in degree from the rest of Canada's. There is a danger that politicians and other Canadians may misinterpret" the Quebec situation as heralding a transfer of power from Ottawa to the provinces, On the contrary, the dynamics of decentralization are to redress the balance of a democratic system " which has become weighed down far too much on the side of big institutions. Not a redistribution of powers between levels of government, but a lessening of government, power at all levels. In fact, the provincial governments are great- er centralists than the federal government. Instead of using the level of its taxing power to force the provinces into extravagant pro- grams, Ottawa should provide, through the tax system, the incentive for individuals to invest in the new ventures without which no economy can retain vitality. In a brief to Ottawa, the Canadian Federation of inde- pendent Business has 'recom- mended increasing the loan ceiling under the Small business Loans Act from $50,000 to $150,000, and permitting loans to be used for operating funds as well as the purchase of buildings and machinery. Provincial tax incentives to encourage local businesses and individuals to invest in new local enterprises are restricted by the size of the provincial tax base, Intelligent use of the federal taxing power, by stimulating the "dynamic force" of owner -man- aged enterprise, is the secret weapon that will strengthen the whole country and maintain rational unity.

Skating rinks cause trouble when the ice begins to melt. Because it takes the ice longer to melt than snow, mould and disease are encouraged by the high humidity trapped between the layer of ice and the ground surface. R.A. Fleming, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horti- culturist, says skating rinks, traffic over frozen lawns and snowmobiles can cause consider- able damage. Breaking up the ice in the spring so the air can get through to the ground surface will help solve the problem. Mr. Fleming advises people who enjoy fine lawns not to make skating rinks on top of them. Traffic across a lawn during the winter causes the snow to compact, Mr. Fleming says. It may take the lawn most of the spring to recover from this type of abuse. In severe cases where the turf has been continuously used as a pathway, the lawn may be killed. Mr. Fleming suggests home- owners take the extra time to use sidewalks and paved pathways and that they avoid walking on snow-covered lawns. Snowmobiles, like skating rinks and compacted pathways also cause an ice layer that encourages growth of snow mould which damagds lawns. During refueling of snow- mobiles, care should be taken not to spill gasoline or oil on the snow since these petroleum products can also kill turf grasses.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 am outraged by the statement one hears so often about widows. It goes like this: "She went through everything he left her in two years." My husband died 18 months ago. From 1932 to 1972 he made from $45,000 to $60,000 a year. He had an international reputa- tion and was decorated by a foreign monarch. We were married for 39 years and had 11 children. They all graduated from college. Several went on to get doctorates. Not Symphony at Goderich The second in the series of London Symphony Orchestra concerts at goderich, sponsored by the Rotary Club and the Sully Foundation, is set for the auditorium of the Goderich and District Collegiate Institute on January 22. Highlight of the program will be "Fantasia" by Jerome Sum- mers. Presently the conductor of the University of Western Ontario symphony Orchestra, Jerome Summers is a graduate of the University of British columbia and former associate principal clarinet of the Vancouver Sym- phony Orchestra under K. Aky- ama. "Fantasia" has been composed specially for the celebration of the Orchestra's fortieth anniversary season. The January 22 concerrt will also feature soloist Gwen Tomp- son performing Violin Concerto Number Three by Mozart. Born in Winnipeg, Gwen Thompson began violin at the age of four, piano at six and voice at 12. She has performed as soloist with the Winnipeg Symphony, C. C. c. Symphony Orchestra, Indiana Philharmonic, Toronto Symphony, and the Jeunesses Musicales Orchestra in Paris. For two years, she studied with the renowned virtuoso, Jascha Heifetz. From 1971 to 1975 she was professor at the Faculty of Music, University of Western Ontario, performing numerous concerts and recitals throughout Southwestern Ontario. Presently, she teaches at the University of British Columbia and is head of the string music department at the Vancouver Community Music School. This second concert will wind up with "The Birds" by Respighi. In that composition the author fr?ely adapts .for orchestra music of four seventeenth and eight- ee lth century composers. 1. a Prelude (Allegro moderato) is Luilt from two themes by Bernardo Pasquini, the first heard in the flute, oboe and clarinets, and the other intro- duced by the oboe and continued by the other woodwinds. "The Dove" (Andante expres- sive) is based on a melody by Jacques de Gallot, a subject heard in oboe, accompanied by harp and muted strings. "The Hen" is based on the popular piece, "La poule," by Rameau. The clucking of the bird is realis- tically reproduced by the violins. "The Nightingale" (Andante mosso) used the melody of an anonymous English composer, heard in the woodwinds over a string accompaniment. In this section, Respighi paradoies the "Forest Music" from Wagner's music drama Siegfried, in an accompanying passage. "The Cuckoo (Allegro) is derived from a celebrated Toccata on the song of the Cuckoo by Pasquini. At the conclusion of this section, the opening theme of the Prelude is sonorously re- called. Wives should help estate planning one of the 11 worked his way through. I was wife, mother, lover hostess, social secreatry, buffer, nurse, chauffeur, and general aide -decamp. What did my husband leave me? Less than $2,000 in E Bonds, $20,000 in life insurance and a house with a mortgage that has 18 years to go. With inflation, the house, notes and insurance payments, where am I? The children are wonderful, They all help. But I deeply resent the fact that after. 39 years of devotion, I NEED help. so the next time someone makes the statement about a widow "not managing," please ask if her husband left anything to manage. —Bitter. DEAR BITTER: Too bad that in addition to being wife, mother, lover, social secretary and gen- eral aide-de-camp, you didn't take on one more role -=estate planner. 1 hope your letter will serve as a warning to others. Statistics tell us that most wives outlive their husbands. Every wife who reads this column should ask that man of hers what he has done to protect her if he should die suddenly. It's not a pleasant subject, but the wife who refuses to face reality pays the price. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Please warn parents to watch carefully where their children go and with whom, Four years ago (I was a boy of 12) I spent a week with an older friend. He turned out be a homosexual. Sex was new to me and 1 was easy to seduce, Later my friend married and gave up homosexuality but that exper- ience made a tremendous impact on my life. Now I can't look at a boy without having unwanted thou- ghts. In addition to this problem, my secret des. es have ruined my social life with girls. If I try to show affection to a girl, my hands sweat and I shake all over. When I'm 18, If I haven't gone crazy hating myself, 1 intend to get therapy. I hope someone will be helped by this letter Ann. If I had been warned early in life, maybe I woldn't be going through this hell.•-Mlserable In Florida. DEAR MISERABLE: Why wait until you are 18?
