Everyone is asked to cone out and get involved. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/JANUARY 19, 1977. 'Tis Show Biz Sinatra has always done it his way BY VONNI LEE Frank Sinatra has always done things his ways In the last several years, he has had the money and the time to do things his way. He did things quietly. The news media always knew about his fights, his bad times, his associations with people of questionable reputation. What the public does not always know is the good Frank does - the work he does, gratis, for several charities and the great things he does for his friends, "You wanna be in Paris or Rome tomorrow? Don't worry - Frankie will charter a plane and get you there, at no expense to you." And so it was last week. Frank was opening at the magical showplace, Caesar's Palace, in Las Vegas. Friends from all over the world were flown there to attend the o.enin:. The most important member of the audi- ence, who would have had a ring- side seat, never made it, Frank's 82 -year-old mother, Dolly Sinatra, was picked up, along with a freind, in a small plane her son chartered for her so she could be at his opening night. After all, for somebody who claims to be retired, Ceasar's Palace is no small potatoesl She left on Thursday but never got to the opening night performance. A search was immediately begun for the plane which they assumed had gone down. On Saturday Frank cancelled his performance and spent the day with the search party but to no avail. Sunday, the wreckage of the small plane and the four bodies were found in rough mountain country in Sountern California. The area had been covered with a fresh snowfall and the white plane was made that much harder to spot. It apparently had slammed into the side of a mountain a short while after takeoff from Palm Springs. Like all Italian families, Sinatra and his family enjoyed a very close relationship. His mother, his former wife and their three children have always been the most important part of his life. But the show will go on for Frank and though his heart won't be in it, he'll be entertaining huge audiences at Caesar's Palace. all week, , The manslaughter trial of Claudine Longet has begun in Aspen, Colorado, and like many famous people, she is considered guilty until proven innocent in the shooting death of skier Spider Sabich. Even some jurors dropped out, publicly stating they thought it was unfair to stand because they were convinced she was guilty. Longet has maintained all along that the shooting was an accident but her words very often fall on deaf ears. So many people have come to expect anything from Hollywood stars, even murder. The former wife of singer Andy Williams, she and• Andy have always remained close friends and they have a warm relationship with their three children. He testified on her behalf last week. You may already know the result of the trial. Whatever it is, it has left a scar on Longet's life and, more importantly, on the life of the children who have a big enough problem just being celebrities' kids. Quick thaws weaken Ice sur- faces.

Cochrane, Goderich, assumes the office of past chairman and Benson Tuckey, Exeter, holds an executive position as honorary chairman, The Playhouse met Saturday at the council offices, Grand Bend, to firm up policies, budgets and plans for the coming year. The Playhouse reaffirmed its deter- mination to meet the financial challenge imposed by Arts Council restraints and at the same time to absorb last year's $15,000 cash deficit. Treasurer Bill Amos reported that a recent appeal for funds from previous contributors brought the Playhouse $6,374 of help toward incurred building costs. A number of fund raising activities are planned for the coming year. "We have just completed the most successful pre -Christmas sale subscription drive in our six year history", Mr. Cochrane, retiring chairman, told his board. "This means in effect we've sold out one week, but it also represents the community's strong commitment to the Play- house", said Mr. Cochrane. Mr. Tuckey, Chairman of the Building Committee, led a motion to reject any plans for further expansion of the theatre facility and winterization of the Play- house facilities at this time and until the present commitments are met, James Murphy, in charge of artistic policies for the Playhouse, reported to the Board that he would not disappoint them with the new summer Playbill for which he would seek approval at the February meeting.

Not in many years has the press of North America looked so sleazy as it has in its coverage of the Gilmore affair. Every delay in the execution was good news for the television and newspaper people because it allowed them to keep the story going a little longer. Books were planned on Gilmore's life and probably movies as well. The whole affair took on the appearance of a morbid circus. But let's not forget too that the public is just as much to blame as those who promoted the Gilmore story in the media. The media wouldn't have been interested if the public hadn't been hungry for every word. It is a sad commentary on human beings that such a sordid affair can monopolize headlines for so long, that every detail of the man's execution should be printed on the front page of papers around the world, that television stations would no doubt have loved to have given live coverage of the affair if allowed. Where arc we going? What a scandal! High prices for coffee It is a truely a crisis of international proportions. Consumers across the continent are arming themselves for the battle. The very fabric of our society may be rent if something is not done quickly. Imagine, North America without its coffee, or at least North America having to pay more for its coffee then it thinks it should. imagine, having to cut back to three or four cups a day instead of 10, just because of frost and greedy speculators. The consumer commissioner of New York took immediate action. She began organizing a consumer boycott of coffee. We've got to show these people in South America we won't pay the ridiculous prices they want, she said. If we don't we'll be at their mercy. How right she is. Imagine those peasants of South America thinking they can force people in New York City and Toronto to pay 35 cents a cup tor coffee, having to give up maybe even a pack of cigarettes a day to keep up their normal intake of caffeine. Its outrageous. s ' Time to change Warden system The ritual of choosing a county warden is once again over. This year there wasn't even any suspense as only colborne's Doug McNeil went after the job. The method of choosing a warden is just about the most archaic insitution we have in our part of the country anymore. The warden is chosen from among the reeve of the county by the reeves of the county. It is often influenced, not by ability or brilliance as a speaker, but by how long the particular reeve has sat on council, on whether he comes from the urban centres or the rural ones, en whether or not he's a nice guy and even on what political party he supports. The pt.blic, which pays his salary and has to live with his actions, doesn't get any say in who will be warden. Most of the people probably never even heard of the man chosen before unless he comes from very close to home. The prospective warden has to make no promises and has to keep no promises. He is a figurehead who will only be around for one year anyway, no matter how weel he might handle the job. County council has turned aside many proposals to move Huron toward regional government, to restructure and alter the present set up. These decisions are wise. But one area that can certainly stand some reform is the office of warden and how the warden is chosen. The present system is ridiculous. Surely a better way can be found without complete overhaul of the county government system. Blyth isn't going hairy Dropping in at Lloyd Walsh's Barber Shop the other day we learned that so far 21 men have entered the beard growing contest in Blyth. Just 21 out of the male population of Blyth? Surely we can do better than that. Surely in the name of supporting our town in this important time our men can put up with the itching and scratching for a few months. Surely the wives of the community can stand a few months of tickling. In times like these we must make great sacrifices. In times like these we must make great sacrifices. The 1 onour of Blyth is at stake, BY BILL ILEY There was a grand foofa- wraw in Ontario recently when the Toronto Globe and Mail, which rather grandly calls itself "Canada's National Newspaper,' and is nothing of the sort, perpetrated a piece of journalism that was irresponsible, to say the. least and yellow to say the truth. It published a list of more than 800 Ontario doctors who had billed the provincial health plan for more than $100,000 in the past year. What's wrong with that? Shouldn't these money-grubbing medics be exposed? Wasn't the Globe doing a public service? Answer : no. The Globe was doing what it professes to despise in some of our racier newspapers: acting in collusion with some pretty dub- ious politicians to titillate the public with half-truths and embarrass what to me is' still a noble and hono;aah • .oitssion. The action was worthy of some of the muckier British tabloids. What surprised me .was the reaction of the public. Setting aside the doctors and their well- heeled medical association, which was naturally outraged, most of the letters to the editor attacked the newspaper for its action: Whatever demurrers advanced by its defendants after the event, the fact was that the news was slanted, through omission. The doctors named were presented, through innuendo, as money- gougers, with one hand on a scalpel and the other in the government's (read taxpayer's) hip pocket. Publication of the names and addresses of those doctors who had billed the health plan for more than a hundred grand was almost a blanket indictment of them. Snowbound Memorial Hall Nonsense over doctors' fees What the newspaper did not stress was that the figures were for gross, not net income, and in many, many cases, the net income was a long, long way below the published figures. 1 don't • hold any brief for doctors. In general, they give me a pain in the arm. There is a certain pomposity, sometimes arrogance, that is donned along with the letters M.D. after the name. This is not helped any by the attitude of so many of their patients •- that the doctor always knows best, that the doctor is a special sort of human being, that the patient should practically tug his forelock when addressing his doctor. It's a fairly short step from there to the point where quite a few members of the profession begin to feel that they are little tin gods. This irks me. I've met too many little tin gods with clay feet to be impressed by the title "Doctor:" There's something archaic, but very attractive about th t i ld""•'" Bachelors. of Art ,oar't g round calling themselves Bachelor Jim Smith. Masters of Art don't insist that you address them as Master, Same with engineers, But when a guy gets a chance to put Doctor before his name, whether his degree is in philosophy, theology or chiro- practery, there is no way you are going to stop him from using it, My personal biases about doctors aside, 1 have nothing but contempt for those who suggest- ed, ever so subtley, that the profession is out to gouge the public ruthlessly. , Sure, doctors make a lot of money, most of them, 1 wouldn't be a doctor for three times the average salary in the medical profession. Sure, there are a few rotten apples in the barrel/to whom the Hippocratic •oath is merely a licence to gehieli. Couldn't the sart,e be said abut any other barrel. whether it curtains union members, merchants, politicans, or preachers? And as for big business, the doctors are almost saintly when it comes to comparison of ethics. Let's look at the facts. A doctor works like a dog to get through medical school. He doesn',t really begin to,hlaKe any money until he is nearing 30, a time when most men are well settled in their fields. By the time he etas established a practice, he is usually well in debt. If his practice flourishes, he works like a dog for 20 or 30 years. During this period, he is making a good income. But his family life, his social life and his cultural life suffer deeply. He works hours that would have a union leader screaming bloody iiis scantly leisure time is constantly interrupted. The only pension he can look forward to is what he can save or invest for himself. About the time most men are slowing down or looking forward to retirement, the doctor is burned out. How many old doctors do you know? And all along the way he is dealing constantly with pain and misery and fear among his patients. No bed of roses, that. No to mention all the neurotic women and hypochondriacal men he must suffer patiently. There are a few crooks and a few quacks, but every doctor I've ever had dealings with was a credit to the profession. Let's have fair play for our doctors, as well as fair pay.

Cut salt use urea "Salt, commonly used to melt ice during the winter, can damage plants," says D.B. McNeill, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. Mr. McNeill suggests that homeowners, concerned about damaging their lawns and gard- -eris.,ttIttsides using 4rea ni toad of salt to meffl`ej& sidewalk, Urea is a nitrogen *tel . which also works well to melt ice at temperatures as low as -150C. Mr. McNeill says that urea is particularly useful to melt ice on walkways bordered by lawns and cedar hedges. In addition to protecting your plants from salt damage during the winter months, urea will also serve as i fertilizer for your lawn or your plants in the spring. Mr. McNeill says the resultant run-off will help plants begin their growth in the spring. Urea contains 45 per cent nitrogen and, if used to excess, can damage plants. Mr. McNeill suggests that it should be scattered on icy areas only when necessary.

All employees will receive an $800 increase per annum, the road superintendent, road crews and clerk treasurer. Council members will receive an increase of $50 each and the reeve an increase of $100. Council mem- bers now earn $750 and the reeve $900 per year. 20c per mile is the new mileage rate. Appointed to various boards and committees were: Harvey Craig -Blyth District Fire Arca Board; Allan Campbell -Bill Leem- ing-Seaforth Fire Area Board; Art Anderson • Seaforth Community Hospital Board; Allan Campbell - Maitland Valley Conservation Authority & the Ausable Bayfield ,Authority.

McKillop drainage loan alloca- tion from the province is $118,100 for 1977. Council has agreed to pay for tile loans as work is cc npleted, so that everyone gets equal chance for a tile loan. A borrowing bylaw of S140,000 for current expenditures was approved. Call for road information The Ministry of Transportation and Communications reminds motorists that its Winter Road Reporting Service for the public is in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Toronto Information Centre and the Ministry's 18 district offices throughout the province have up-to-date informa- tion on the condition of all provincial and secondary highways. And it's available to the general public during the winter months. Such information can be obtained around the clock by telephoning the following MTC offices in Ontario.

Mr. Coventry's comments fol- low a statement made by Health Minister Frank Miller that Clin- ton Public Hospital, as well as hospitals in Chesley and Durham and Doctor's Hospital, Toronto would be closed despite the fact that each institution has received a 15 -month budget. "When we got our budget, the hospital staff felt we'd stay open for 15 months and it raised their to be honoured in Toronto January 27 the OFA office, "the format will be a humorous 'Roast' of Mr. Hill which should provide a very entertaining evening." Speakers will include provincial treasurer Darcy McKeough, federal agri- culture minister Eugene Whelan, Everett Biggs, George McCaque. CFPL's farm editor from London, Roy Jewell, and Earl Maberley. Mr, Hill annouced at the annual convention of the OFA in Hamilton early in November that he was not seeking re-election as president, He had served seven years as head of the federation, and before that worked with various farm organizations pro- moting better conditions for farmers, The OFA says the tickets for the banquet and dance will cost $10 each, enough to provide a gift for Mr, Hill, and will be sold on a tirst come, first served basis. They can be ordered from the OFA's central office at 397 Bloor Street East, Toronto, spirits, but the budget doesn't mean a thing." Mr. Miller has said that every hospital in the province has been issued a 15 -month budget but that it does not mean the hospitals that were told to close will remain open. "1 think Miller's statement was misinterpreted," Mr. Coventry said. "Essentially what he said, was that if he couldn't get, government backing for closing the hospitals, he would resign." Mr. Coventry said he would process the 15 -month budget the hospital has that the hospital will remain open. A government decision to close Clinton Public Hospital and the three other hospitals was ruled illegal by the divisional court of the Ontario Supreme Court. The ruling stated that the government could not close the hospitals for financial reasons. Mr. Miller has said the government could save $800,000 by closing the Clinton Hospital. The government has appealed the court decision and although an appeal date has not yet been set, Mr. Coventry said that according to rumours, it could be held sometime in February. The legal battle will be fought over whether the health minister has the right to close hospitals under existing legislation. It won't be fought over whether or not the hospital is needed, that fact is very clear, he said, referring to recent snow storms in and around Clinton. "Almost all our beds are full and with the roads having been closed for the last few days, there would be no way patients could get to Seaforth, Goderich, Wing - ham or even to London for medical treatment if there was no hospital here," Mr. Coventry said. Mr. Miller has said he will introduce legislation giving the health minister the power to close hospitals if the government's approval fails. NEWJOBSFROM COMMUNITYPROJECIS.

PG, 7. From the Minister's Study Books in the Blyth 'Library How's your eye level BY REV. STANLEY C. McDONALD,LONDESBOROUGH It is always interesting to watch a seeing -eye dog leading a blind man. It is difficult to believe that the progeny of the "fierce, blood -trailing wild -pack" has become man's friend and chum and servant, It is a far, far step from the wolf to the seeing -eye dog - but the step has been made. The dog might say to the wolf as Isaiah said in chapture 55 of the Book of Isaiah "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. As the heaven is far higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." I am told that the most difficult thing in the training of the dog is the lifting of its eye level, The eye level of the dog maybe about 18 inches, but the eye level of a person is perhaps five feet, an obstruction crossing the path at the height of four or five feet is not an obstruction to the dog. The dogs eye level must be lifted and its attention given unnatural and unhabitual direction. This is achieved with difficulty, but it is finally accomplished. Jesus was continually trying to lift the eye level of his disciples giving them a higher level of purpose and destiny. What happen to man today when his eye -level is lifted? 1 - something might happen to his mind. His mind might become fertilized by a new idea, Surely sometime in your past that thrilling experience has happened to you • you grasped a new idea which changed you mind, soul, life. After receiving that idea you could never be the same person again. If you have not lived by that idea it rises up to condemn you, to bring you guilt. If you have lived by it, it has become virtue incarnate in you, a part of you living, eternal self. An idea on the higher level may become a dynamic idea, A thought on my eye level may be just a thought, but, at God's eye level it may become a deep conviction or a high principle. 11 - by lifting of the eye level something may happen to a man's heart. Ther may be a redirection of emotion. Not the life of The Apostle Paul. He was a man of vigourous emotions: In his early years with the outlook of a Pharisee how he hated the things of Christ and hated Christians. He breathed out threatenings and slaughter. The he had an experience and began to see from the God level. His hatred is now turned to love, His emotions are redirected. There are tremendous possibilities in persons who have deep and overpowering emotions; they may be turned to good by the lifting of the eye level. 111- By the lifting of the eye level something may happen to a man's will, Tremendous things! Your wish may become a purpose, Some lives never rise above wishes. AT God's eye level they might be filled with life -absorbing purposes. Other things may happen: Work may become worship. Life may become an exercise of stewardship. Willfulness maybe transformed into great obedience. How's your cyc level?

Crown Roast of Pork an elegant special meal Feature a glorious Crown Roast of Pork this season for a special company dinner or family dinner. You will find it an exciting change from the usual roast beef or stuffed turkey. You might start a brand new tradition of your own. A Crown Roast of Pork is beautiful in itself and has the trimmings of a holiday meal • savory stuffing, spiced crab- apples. With cranberry sauce, brussels sprouts with water chestnuts, ginger -glazed carrots, mashed potatoes, gravy and a Waldorf salad followed by pumpkin pie you have a delicious dinner everyone will enjoy. Have your meatman custom - size a pork crown roast to fit the crowd at your table. Gift him sufficient notice to prepare the crown. It will keep loosely wrapped in your refrigerator for a day or two. For a crown roast the 7 to 10 ...,;entre ribs of the pork loin are used. They are, turned with rib side out and tied. TNurks; ions can be tied together for a bigger. roast - 12 • 14 - 16 rib. To make your own Crown Roast, have your meatman saw through the ribs at their base where they join the backbone. At home all the equipment you will need is a sharp knife. Use it to cut away the backbone, chine and feather bones. (These bones are the base or bottom bones of a loin.) Do not remove the ribs. Remove 1 to 1A inch strips of meat from top of ribs, then remove the little bit of meat between the ribs. Now you have a French Loin Roast. For a Crown Roast, turn the rib side to the outside (the fat layer will be inside). Form into a crescent or crown shape bringing cut ends together so they can be tied firmly. (Thread heavy cord into a large -eyed darning needle then stitch ends together by lacing cord through cut ends, Tie ends to hold crown firmly in shape. Also tie roast securely around loin at bottom of ribs.

Place -roast on bed of stuffing on platter, Remove, foil from rib ends. Place a spiced crabapple on every other rib end to represent the "jewels" in the crown. Surround roast with more crabapples and sprigs of parsley. Crown roast can be left ' unstuffed. Plan on one rib per serving, about three servings per pound.

The Golden Days by Robert Neill This is a historical novel of 17 century England. It deals with those anxious months from 1679 to 1681 when it looked as though a large section of the English people were prepared to exclude Charles 11's Catholic brother James from succession to the throne. All this we see as it affects Sir Harry Burnaby and his family of three sons. The Golden Days is the sequel to Crown and Mitre. The Secret of the Old Brownstone by Bill Knott The old brownstone building had been evacuated and was to be wrecked, Twelve year old Bobby Sanchez decided to snoop around it to see what he could salvage. He was searching the third floor whenhe heard the soft whimper- ing of a woman's voice, then the snarl of an angry voice, a piercing scream, followed by silence, punctuated only by a clock striking twelve. As he ran along the hallway he saw something real -- something that would soon grab him by the shoulder and led him into more adventure than he had bargained for. The Secret of the Crazy Quilt by Beth and Joe Krush Jerry (that's short for Jerusha) and her younger brother were to spend the summer of 1926 with their grandfather and Aunt Edith at "The Haven". But the Haven held a secret. The discovery of an old quilt slowly revealed the story of evil—prohibition, rum'running, a shootout in the cove and strange disappearances. The mysteries aren't all straightened out until Jerry and her aunt finally sort it all out nearly 20 years later. Increased erosion awareness sought How to create a greater public awareness of Great Lakes shore damage from erosion and flooding will be discussed by Ontario's Conservation Authori- ties at a workshop in Burlington held December 13. Hosted by the Chairmen's Committee of the Ontario Conservation Authorities in co-operation with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environ- ment Canada, the workshop being held at the Holiday Inn. Arousing more public interest and concern for coastal zone problems was one of the recommendations contained in the Ontario Great Lakes Shore Damage Survey Technical Report jointly issued by the two governments last summer. Following the workshop, the 25 Conservation Authorities in the Great Lakes area from Port Severn to Gananoque will determine the extent to which they wish to develop public awareness programs in their watersheds. urchflrws CHURCH OF GOD McConnel Street, Blyth CHURCH SERVICE: 11 a.m. . •. .. \.. \..\..\.. \.. \.. \.. \..\..\..\.. ••••..• Mo. .. \..\..,....\.......\...

HARDY Mass at Blyth every Sunday at 9 a.m. PG, 8, THE BLYTH STANDARD/JANUARY 19, 1977, Business Column Help needed in financing If free competitive enterprise is to survive in Canada, the disappear- ance of smaller firms must be more than made up for by the growth of successful ones and the formation of new -ventures. Both processes need risk capital. There are two kinds of capital: debt and equity. Debt capital is a loan secured by fixed assets - a building or machinery. Equity capital is the owner's permanent investment in a business, When a handyman starts up, using savings to buy tools, that constitutes his equity. If he borrows to finance his truck, that is debt capital. Another man decides to start a retail business. He uses his savings to draw up a buisness plan - surveying the market, looking for premises, talking to suppliers, estimating costs and profit. He is making an initial equity investment! Now he needs additional equity to pay rent on the premises, to buy stock, to pay wages and operating costs until the business generates a flow of cash. When taxes were low and people could accumulate savings, he would have looked to local investors for this kind of seed money. Their return might have been a share of ownership in the venture. Their risk capital supplemented the proprietor's own personal investment. new ventures But local capital has either been taxed away or diverted into government pension or retire- ment schemes. The retailer now has to go to his bank, But banks are in the business of lending money against the collateral of fixed assets, accounts receivable, or personal assets. They are lending depositors' funds and cannot therefore take unsecured risks. To overcome the difficulty of financing new ventures, risk capital must be made more readily available.

To increase Ontario Baseball Association convention scheduled for Kincardine The Western Ontario Athletic Association is hosting the 60'th annual Ontario Baseball Association convention. The convention will be held March 18, 19, and 20'th in the new Community Centre in Kincardine. Under the leadership of Convention' Chairman, Nute Catto of Kincardine, and WOAA- President, Dave Neilson of Gorrie, much of the advance preparation has been completed. As this is the largest project ever undertaken by the WOAA, several committees have been hard at work for many months to ensure the success of the convention, The weekend will indeed be a busy time for the delegates and their wives. Besides the usual business meetings and elections there will be numerous other activities going on throughout the weekend. Some of these activities will include the annual banquet, a dance, and a special ladies Time to plant perennials now "Late January or even Febru- ary is the time to start perennial seeds indoors so they will be ready for planting outdoors in late May," says D.B. McNeill, Ontar- io Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. Seeds such as Pacific Giant Delphinium, Shasta Daisy, Bell- flower, Columbine, Coral Bells and Balloonflower should be planted now, in artificial planting mixes, perlite, soil -sand -peat mix, or any good potting soil. "The seeds may be planted in a flat tray, or in flower pots. Containers should be well drained • • • • •0. • and seeds should be watered regularly from the top after planting," says Mr. McNeill. Germination of perennial seeds is slower than most annuals. In some cases, germination takes up to three or four weeks. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, they should be transplanted into a. container that will allow them to grow as much as possible before the spring. When the danger of frost is past, the plants should be transplanted into the garden. Mr. McNeill says the plants should be in bloom by late summer. programme on Saturday. This ladies programme will consist of a bus tour of the area, a fashion show, and a luncheon. This convention gives the sports -minded people of Western Ontario an excellent opportunity to attend a provincial convention without the great expense that is normally involved.

I'd like to tell another story -- the other side. It was a 17 -year-old boy whose reckless driving killed my mother, One Sunday morning I tried to phone Mom to tell her the good news. 1 was pregnant again, She didn't answer the phone. Then I heard a bulletin on 'the radio. There had been a serious automobile accident on the highway near our home. I had a terrible feeling -- sort of a premonition -- so I asked my husband to drive me there,"just to make sure." When we passed my parents' house, 1 prayed to God that their car would be in the driveway. It wasn't. A few miles down the road we saw it -- smashed to smithereens -- a heap of twisted steel. People were leaving the scene. My husband asked the police officer where the injured had been taken. He told us -- with a sad nod of the head. The drive to the hospital seemed like an eternity. 1 cried and prayed all the way. When we found my father in the emergency room the sight of him made me sick. He looked up at me and asked, "Where's your mother?" I told him I didn't know but I'd go find her. --' certain she was in another treatment room. As I ran down the hall, frantic and frightened, a kindly doctor stopped me and took my arm. He led me and my husband into a small conference room. I knew what was coming. He told me my mother was dead. 1 pounded my fists on the wall and scream .d. "No, no, she can't be!" Oh God, I didn't mean to make so much noise. I'm sure my father heard me. That was no way for him to get such terrible news. When I went back to his room he was crying. The funeral was a nightmare. Selecting the dress my mother was to be buried in was more than 1 could bear. When I handed the funeral director the locket the kids and I gave her for Mother's Day my knees buckled and I very nearly fainted. . My father was too badly injured to attend the funeral. The kids couldn't understand why Grandma had to be in that big, closed box. Why couldn't they see her? Oh, how my heart ached for my father, my children, and for myself. All this agony and suffering because a 17 -year-old boy was in a hurry to see his girlfriend. And wouldn't you know it -- the boy walked away from the accident with -out a scratch. The tragedy of an accident Now, two years later, I have two tiny girls who will never know their wonderful grandmother, What a special part of their lives they will miss, To this day, I have not set eyes on the boy who did this terrible thing.

Food bargains are hard to resist. When a food item is "on special" only buy the amount you can use within the time it keeps its high quality" say food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Take vacuum packaged bacon, for instance. It is code -dated and has a storage life of approximately 18 days if stored constantly in the refrigerator. Think about it. How many pounds of bacon can you store and use in 18 days? "Well, 111 freeze it" you say. Fine. But freeze it immediately after purchase. Don't wait until "day 17" to take it from the refrigerator and pop it into the freezer, Should you freeze the bacon in its original package, make sure you'll use it all within a day after pulling it from the freezer. Once completely thawed (and this must be done in the refreigerator) vacuum packaged bacon must be used within a day. If not, it must be discarded for safety reasons. Here's a hint.

BELGRAVE NEWS Bureau editor NIRS LEWIS STONI_IIOU5E Make' your freezer work for you If you are thinking about buying a freezer, just remember that biggest is not always the best. Buy the size of freezer you need, suggest food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Minist- ry of Agriculture and Food. A good rule of thumb is to allow six cubic feet per person, If you wish to convert this figure to pounds, simply multiply the number of cubic feet by 34 to get the approximate number of pounds that a freezer will hold. For example, a 12 -cubic -foot freezer will store aliout 408 pounds of' food. That's a lot of food to buy, to prepare and to freeze, A freezer should always be used to capacity because it costs as much to operate a partially loaded freezer as it does to operate a full one. Just think of the food in your freezer as you would think of money in your checking account. What you take out should be replaced. Make your freezer work for you. O.P.P. reports accidents, crime down Commissioner H.H, Graham of the Ontario Provincial Police is pleased to report that for the first time In 10 years the increase in crime within OPP jurisdiction was minimal, The previous average of a 10 percent increase per year for the past 10 years dropped to 0,7 percent for 1976. In 1975, there were 61 murders and 32 attempted murders; in 1976, there were 43 murders and 18 attempted murders, a decrease of 34 percent. Nor was there any significant increase in specific criminal categories such as theft, break and enter, robbery and assault. The Commissioner believes that a meaningful reason for this change in trend is the co-opera- tion we are receiving from the public and the mass media. More citizens are becoming involved in assisting with the prevention of crime. We are hopeful, he said, that this community effort will continue, enabling us to look forward to a very successful fight against crime in 1977. TRAFFIC On the more than 70,000 miles of highway patrolled by the OPP, there was a decrease of 3,036 motor vehicle collisions Fitness. In your heart you know it's right. during 1976 compared to 1975. The result was an estimated 185 fewer persons killed and 4,722 fever persons injured during the same period, "Motor ` vehicle collisions on Highway 401 were reduced by over 1,100 during 1976 compared to 1975. The introduction of lower highway speed limits and the mandatory wearing of seat belts have been positive.factors related to the reduction of motor vehicle collisions in Ontario. These new laws resulted in ,6,683. persons receiving summonses for not wearing their seat belts and a 50 percent increase in summonses being issued by membersof the OPP for speeding offences.

Not far from my home a man has built a house. He comes from the city where he had, through his business, amassed a small fortune. His household was one of luxury and convenience, yet he wanted to get closer to the land, With this in mind this business man bought a farmer's .cornfield , and built his second home. Cases similar to this one have been witnessed the country over; there have been out cries but in most places little or nothing is being done about this situation. in Canada, unlike 'many other countries, we enjoy an abundance of food. We coo not have to beg from our brother and sister nations, our larders are full and overflowing, food in Canada is taken for granted. However, this situation may come to an end sooner than many of us dare to think. Many people and businesses, as well as believing that food is TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO JUi'J SYNDICATE To see Jimmy at 16 months you'd never believe that this healthy and extremely strong boy was sickly as a tiny baby. Because he was so ill as an infant, Jimmy developed slowly but seems to be making up for lost time. He was on anti- convulsant medication as a precaution for awhile but that has been discontinued. Though Jimmy's ancestry is part black, he is fair in coloring with blonde curly hair, blue eyes and very fair skin. He walks well and talks a lot, though he has only "a few clear words as yet. He has a good appetite, eating whatever his foster family is having. This independent fellow likes to feed himself. Jimmy needs a mother and father who will appreciate his heritage and who will not be concerned that there is mental illness in his background. To inquire about adopting Jimmy, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. In your letter tell something of your present family and your way of life. For general adoption information, contact your local Children's Aid Society. HEALTHY AND STRONG unlimited, also label our Can- adian farm land as dispensible. The most productive areas of out country are used for both commercial and residential con- struction, while less arable areas in the north and east are diligently avoided. Good farm land is rapidly disappearing. This claiming of farm land for other purposes is of course nothing new. Since the first French explorers built their forts on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, this reclaimation and building has become an on-going process. However, now this process -has gone too far, consuming 24 acres of farm land every hour, and pushing farmers to poorer land in the north and east. Along with decreasing the amount of productive farmland in production, urban sprawl forces land prices to a point so high that farming becomes an uneconom- ical business. Farmers cannot afford to start or expand their businesses so decide to sell instead, allowing industry to enter. We as Canadians have a reputation for helping to feed the world. But how long can we do this, even feed ourselves if we use all our farmland for other purposes? We must all stand behind any government legisla- tion on this point, for our sakes and those of our children. Not far from my home a city man has built a house. If we all stand together, his could be the last! Ken de Boer It's not work to walk. So why not walk to work?

We realize that we should eat more vegetables in preference to calorie -full but nutrition -poor foods. This brings about a question. Are canned vegetables as good for you as fresh vegetables? Let's consider corn. There can be no doubt that if you eat corn on the cob that was picked an hour before then cooked immediately, it's at its freshest and most nutritious. The same is true for other vegetables such as aspara- gus and peas. But how many weeks of the year can you do that? There is an alternate. Use canned vegetables frequently. The vitamins are retained to a large degree. Why? Because thanks to rapid canning techni- ques, the small losses which occur during processing are generally less than those occurr- ing when the same fresh produce is cooked in the home. Canned vegetables are already cooked and need only be heated before eating .1 Special events planned for 'Crop Improvement Association The Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (O.S.C.I.A.) will hold its Annual Meeting at the Holiday Inn, Barrie (Highway 400 at Essa Road) on February 13•, 1977. The first day's program is hosted by the North Simcoe Branch of O.S.C.I.A. Dr, Stan Young of the Ontario Agricultural College (O.A.C.), University of Guelph will slpeak on forages in the livestock economy while Dr. Farm building plans available "Farm operations today de- mand well-designed farm build- ings," says J.B.Arnold, agrricul• tura! engineer with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. "This means structures should be well-planned and properly constructed to ensure that they are safe, functional and economi- cal." The Agricultural Engineering Service of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food provides representative offices. "An average of 5,000 farm calls are made in Ontario each year concerning farm building de- signs. Much of the assistance to farmers is provided through Canada Plan Service (CPS) plans," says Mr. Arnold. CPS prepares plans for con- structing modern farm buildings, livestock housing systems, stor- ages and equipment. All necess- ary structural details are specified on the plans which arc available free of charge to farmers, contractors and others who wish to use the service. The plans are prepared by committees of experts from provincial agriculture depart• ments across Canada. Mr. Arnold says the plans are designed in accordance with the Canadian Code for Farm Build- ings and meet the standards of the Ontario Building Code. Plans are continually updated to incorporate changes in design codes and improvements in materials. An average of 22,000 requests for CPS plans are made in Ontario each year. The Canada Plan Service design centre originated at the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph in 1954. It was moved to Ottawa in 1969. Farmers will have the opport- unity to talk to agricultural engineers about CPS plans this year at farm machinery shows in Toronto, London and Ottawa. Apples can fill the of holiday goodies These past few weeks, there has probably been a lot of food around the house • food such as nuts, chocolates and candy. They're the kinds of food you leave out for nibbling, particular- ly during the Christmas season. It was easy, wasn't.it, to walk by these foods and help yourself to a handful or so of eating? But after all this eating between meals you may feel your clothes fit a little tighter. What should you do? "Eat and apple," say Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agri- culture and Food. Eating an apple won't make you thin, but it will satisfy between -meal pangs of hunger. Think about it. You'll be busy munching, and when you finish eating a medium-sized apple (3 tr void the pound), you'll only have taken in 70 calories! That's a lot less than the 840 calories you would get from eating 1 cup salted roasted peanuts. So buy yourself a treat. Look for poly bags of Ontario apples. Each day, take as many from the refrigerator crisper as you thing the family will eat. Shine them, then display the apples. in your prettiest bowl. Where? Where the peanuts used to be. You have to Walk before you can run. ' Bert Christie of O.A.C. will outline the advances that can be expected in forage plants in the future, "Match the forage to the soil" will be the topic covered by Dr, Elwood Hatley of O.A.C, Harvey Wright and Bill Hurst, Soils and Crops Branch, Ministry of Agriculture and Food (O.M.A,F.) will speak on forage management and maintenance of stands and on making good haylage.
