Reeve Robbie Lawrie has resigned from office citing business and personal pressures. The resignation was submitted on Monday although Mr, Lawria had discussed his decision with members of the council late last week before making his final decision on the weekend. He had been acclaimed to office in December for a new two-year term. Earlier he had stated that he would not be seeking office,but at the last minute changed his mind when no successor appeared to step in. Reeve Lawrie was elected as Reeve in 1972 defeating the late George Baillie who was the incumbent at the time, He had served on council for one term prior to seeking the' reeve's office. In 1974 he was unopposed for the office. At the time too he had indicated he would not seek re-election until changing his mind at the last moment. Clerk -Treasurer Larry Walsh said Tues- day that no decision has been made yet on how the vacancy will be filled. The councillors plan to meet this weekend to decide which of two courses open to them they will take. Under the Municipal Act one of the existing councillors can be elevated to the reeve's position and a new councillor be appointed in that councillor's place. Council can also decide to hold an election for the position. that course however has its problems as Mr. Walsh explained. Such an election takes at least two months to organize and in the meantime one of the existing councillors will have to serve as acting reeve.

The board received a letter from the Ontario Ministry of Housing at their Monday meeting asking if the impact of the housing development on the present school facilities would require the county to build an additional school site. The area the subdivision is planned for is presently served by the East Wawanosh Public School in Belgrave and by F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham. The developer of the subdivision, Lorne Humphrey, has his project before the province, for ministry approval and the county board of education was asked if they could cope with a possible 80 students. Director of education John Cochrane pointed out to the board that although no additional school site is needed no it is possible that additions to existing schools may be rquired at some time in the future. In other business the board referred a request from Huron County Engineer Jim Britnell to purchase board of education property at Colborne Central School to permit the widening of the county road the school is on. Mr. Britnell said the couty plans to widen and pave the road in 1977 and requires 17 feet of land on both sides of the road to extend the right of way from 66 feet to 100 feet. The portion of land needed from the board of education is a strip 17 feet wide and 687 feet long containing 0,27 acres. Landowners are being offered $200 an acre plus a new fence or five doloars per rod in lieu of fence. The offer represents a $2,000 cost to the county according to Mr. Britnell. Mr. Britnell pointed out to the board that four trees on the board's land being sought will not have to be moved nor will two portable classroom located 49 feet from the centreline of the road. if the sale of the land is approved count) policy would mean that the cash offer would stand at $54 for 0.27 acres plus 41.6 rods of farm style fence or $208 as a cash payment in lieu of the fence, Colborne township tru tee Shirley Hazlitt asked that the offer a sent to the management committee p inting out that $200 per acre for land is f r too cheap and that the playground areas of the school would need a chain link fence as opposed to a farm style fence. The board also approved an $800 grant to the Belgrave, Blyth, Brussels School Fair Board to help defray costs for this year's September fair, _ Mr. R. J. Elliott was appointed vice-chairman of the salary negotiating committee. The appointment was made because the committee felt that a vice-chairman was needed because tghe dictates of Bill 100 will make meetings necessary at times when chairman Cayley Hill's business commitments preclude his attendance. conditions that have plagued the county this winter. Superintendant of education R. B. Allan told the county board of education Monday that the number of lost days this year combined with the difference between rural and urban schools closures prompted the recommendation to try to make up time in the next four months. Mr. Allan suggested to the board that the executives of the Huron County branch affiliates of teacher federations to consider the advisability of rescheduling their county wide professional development days for April 29 to one of the four P.D. Days scheduled for the end of June when the children have already been dismissed. Another P.D. Day, March 7, will also become an instruction day for students. The request was made because according to Mr. Allan the time allowed for severe winter conditions when the school year calendar was given ministry approval has already been use and additional time lost. Combined with that is the difference in lost time between rural and urban schools. Some rural areas have lost as many as 15 days while schools in county towns have lost few if any due to bad weather. The provincial education act which governs all school calendars requires schools to be open for a minimum of 185 instructional days and to meet this requirment the P.D. Days may have to abandoned in favor of teaching classes. Pb. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/FEBRUARY 16, 1977.

The word discrimination is being used these days to describe the new Ontario Government policy which seeks to set a two -price system in tuition fees for Ontario Colleges and Universities. The man in the centre of the criticism of the policy is the minister in charge of colleges and universities, Harry Parrott. Mr. Parrott has been accused of many things since the policy was announced but has refused to back down. He should be applauded for his stand. The fact is that the regular tuition rate at a college or university in Canada is highly subsidized, It costs many time as much money as the tuition fee to pay for the education given to our students, The subsidized fee system has been retained in Canada because of the belief that all citizens should have access to a good education. In addition, it is generally realized that the receiver of the education will pay back the investment many times over with the skills he uses in society. Besides, all taxpayers are paying for the service and all should receive it. The arguments go right out the window when it comes to foreign students. First of all, their parents and families aren't helping share the burden by paying taxes in Canada. Secondly, since most foreign students go home after completing their courses, there is no benefit to Canada from the training they receive, There is, of course, a good argument for helping people from developing countries get an education in the excellent Ontario post -secondary system. But other ways can be found to do this, such as through the foreign aid program. That ensures that the really needy will get help. Under the present system, sons and daughters of well-off parents in the U.S. or any other country can come to Canada and get a cheaper education than they could at home. It's unfair to the Ontario taxpayer to be faced with that problem. Curing racial bigotry Comedian Will Rogers, loved by all, used to say he never met a man he didn't like. This may be the key to curing racial bigotry among teenagers in Canada. A racial report financed by the Secretary of State found bigotry in 64 percent of 255 students surveyed in seven Ontario centres, including students in eight schools in Toronto, where everyone of East Indian, or South Asian color is called a "Paki". They are targets of ''Paki-bashing", a new sport in our high schools. The study showed that the most overt bigotry was directed towards East Indians, and to a lesser degree, Arabs. The study on teenagers' attitudes, written by Janet Rosenstock and Dennis Adair, both free-lance writers specializing in education, said East Indians particularly are the target of "the most overt racism found in Canada today." Ram Singh, a member of the research staff of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, says the immigrant child suffers in the school system because of the ignorance of other pupils, and in some cases, the teachers. Walter Pitman, president of Ryerson Polytechnical Institute has been appointed as a one-man task force to investigate racial attitudes in Toronto. Mr. Pitman may find a clue in the teenagers' attitudes reported by Rosenstock and Adair. In every school surveyed, except one, Arabs were as much the object of racial bigotry as Pakistanis. In that school, where the bigotry toward them was almost non-existent, there was an Arab on staff. Will Rogers, in saying he never met a man he didn't like, was following in the footsteps of Jesus Christ who suggested that loving God and loving our neighbour are the two great commandments. When Jesus was asked to identify the neighbour, he told a story about a Samaritan, to whom prejudice was shown. Jesus thus changed "Samaritan" to mean one who shows concern and care. By following such an example we can help change racial attitudes. Let us all tell stories about the' "good" Pakistanis and other non -whites. Jesus changed a national reputation in his day, why can't we? -Contributed. panunacriunJ Fitness.

Had a letter from son Hugh the other day, complaining gently about the heat in Paraguay. Said it was between 90 and 100 in the shade every day and only decently livable at night. Last night it was 30 below around this burg. And that's real temperature: Fahrenheit, Today it was about 20 below all day, and is heading for another 30 -plus below as I write. As of today, we've had 142 inches of snow. Migawd, that's just short of • 12 feet, and winter just begun. Who says we aren't a hardy race? Or are we just stupid? At the moment, I'm a little short of breath and temper. I've just come in from wrestling two cars to life, shovelling enough driveway to get them off the street, and hitting the side of the garage another belt when 1 slipped sideways. My garage is one of those ancient wooden structures • in which those realistic car owners of the '20's and 30's used to jack up their Fords and Essexes and McLaughlin-Buicks and leave them sensibly, suspended for the winter, A modern car, even an old battle -wagon like my 1967 Dodge, has about an inch and a half clearance on each side, if you want to put it in the garage. And 1 do. In the summer, the birds poop all over the windshield if I leave her out. In the winter, Winter poops all over the whole thing with ice and snow if I leave her out. So I put her in. But that clearance is pretty skinny. The two-by-four that supports the joist or whatever that supports the roof of my garage is no longer a two-by-four. My wife and daughter have no idea whether the car is four feet Bill's got the winter blues wide or six, Accordingly, that two-by-four is .now about the thickness .of six toothpicks, and any day the whole structure will cave in. I have, for the moment, two cars. They are located in one garage, and; directly behind it, one driveway just as long as a garage. This morning, the car in the garage, the 10 -year-old, started like a rocket heading for Mars, The new one, the five-year- old, groaned twice, grunted once, and died. There I am, with one_ perky car humming merrily in the garage, and one great lump of cold, dcad metal sitting right behind it. It's enough to make a saint swear. And 1 ain't no saint. But then 1 think of how lucky I am, compared to our ancestors. I have an oil furnace . that is practically supporting the entire province of Alberta, but at least I don't have to cut wood all summer to stay warm all winter. l have a wife who wants to drive the car that is working, the one in the garage, when the one behind it won't start, but at least I don't have to hang her washing out in this weather and have it turn into instant white boards, as 1 used to have to do for my mother back around ought -34. I'm a school teacher, in my spare time. But 1 don't have to trudge two miles to the school, with snow to my navel, light the fire in the old box -stove, and sit there shuddering with cold until the students arrive. 1 just get to school as best I can, and the students don't arrive at all, Half of them come by bus and the buses can't get through the storm. Half of the remaining half look out the window, say to hell with it, tell their mothers they have the 'flu, and rollover and go back to sleep. Oh, she was rugged, in those old days, in a winter like this, with home-made insulation and red-hot stovepipes. No wonder many of the old-timers never got out of their long johns from October to May. That's why we moderns feel the cold so much, We don't have a half-inch of personal insulation, made up of sweat and skin and dirt, under the underwear. What really baffles me is why the very first settlers of Canada stayed here, after experiencing one winter. Things must have been pretty rotten, back in France and England and Ireland, to make them tough it out in this "few arpents of snow," as Voltaire dismissed it so casually. And what completely stymies me is that, the first white settlers found anybody alive in this country, when they first arrived. 1 simply cannot understand how the Indians survived a winter like this. You think your arthritis is bad, Aunt Mabel, How would you like to live on corn and sex, in a tepee or a longhouse, for five months, with a little, smoky fire burning on the floor, and 12 feet of snow outside. And no television! Do you realize your greatgrand- father, when grub got low, probably had to walk eight or 10 miles to the nearest store, and home with a sack of flour on his shoulder and a package of tea in his pocket?

Business column Economic problems of Canada go' back to World War 2 BY JIM SMITH The forces dominating Canada in 1977 actually date back to 1939 with war in Europe and Asia. Domestic life ground to a halt; the men went overseas, the women into munitions factories, Few couples had the inclination or opportunity to raise families. The war ended. Suddenly, men and women were free to do things that come naturally to couples. They married. They had children, They tried to cram six lost years into a handful of months, And the post-war baby boom was born. The baby boom rolled through the next few decades like a tidal wave. Public schools, secondary schools, universities, housing and the labour market fought consecutive losing battles against the new demands on their facilites. Even with government programs like LIP and OFY' to soften the blow, it wasn't easy being a member of that baby boom. For society at large however, it was a prosperous period; the population boom was tailor-made for a growth -oriented consumer society. The post-war babies simultaneously created demand for goods and services and supplied the labour to produce those goods and services. Somewhere, we lost sight of reality. We forgot the baby boom was an artiftcal demographic situation, even though the post - boom slump is already working its way through the economy leaving the education system with painful excess capacity. Soon we will need to come to grips with changes in the labour market. By 1985, the Canadian Federa- tion of Independent Business reports, the current labour surplus will be only a memory. Production lines and other technologies built around plenti- ful, cheap labour will become obsolete. Import quotas and tariff barriers, which exist only to protect domestic jobs, will gradually be eliminated as labour surpluses become a memory. TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO J IJi'J SYNDICATE Marilyn is an attractive 10 -year-old, Anglo-Saxon in descent with fair skin, dark hair and hazel eyes. Through no fault of hers, she has had many moves with the result that she is cautious about trusting adults and yet eager for love. Moving and deprivation have affected Marilyn's school performance. She is behind the average for her age in a combined Grades two and three class. She is probably a slow learner, though there are signs she may have higher potential. Marilyn enjoys msuic and typical little girl games like playing house. She has attended Brownies though not regularly. She gets on well with classmates and has some good friends, but finds it hard to share adult attention with children her own age. Therefore it will he best if brothers and sisters in her adopting family are either considerably older or younger. She needs parents who have the time and desire to give her much attention. To inquire about adopting Marilyn, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community & Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M9P 2112. In your letter tell something of your present family and your way of life. For general adoption, contact your local Children's Md Society. ENJOYS MUSIC Televison sets, bicycles and hoses will become import items, generally produced in Pacific Rim countries like Taiwan. Our spectacular growth . rate of the past two decades has resulted, in large part, from even faster growth in the labour supply. Now it seems we will need to learn to live with slower growth, changing our emphasis from quantity to quality: By channeling all our resources, including manpower, into their most efficient uses and paring waste, we can avoid a reduced standard of living ' when our growth rate slows.

TED HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CHRISTIAM REFORMED CHURCH The richness of the Scriptures is incomparable, Through the Book, God himself deigns to speack to man, And to impress upon human hearts the love God manifests Jesus became flesh. That 'becoming flesh' expresses the length to which God went to reveal his love. An now there are people, both in and around Blyth and throughout the whole world, who have faith in Christ Jesus, This faith, it must be understood, comes by grace alond, not by human will, but because of divine will. The message of Scriptures is: "For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made know to you the power and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." (II Peter 1:16; cf. I Tim 1:4) It is a truth that before the majesty of Jesus people do hide in cleverly devised myths. There is one myth, and we have space to deal with only one, that must be exposed to the truth of God's Word. The myth is this: there are people walking around with the expression that goes something like this:"I have accepted Jesus as my personal. Savior. "Where in the Bible do they get this from? I know, they refer quickly to some such passage as Rev. 3:20: "Behold; 1 stand at the door and knock; if any one hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eath with him, and he with me." Interpreted that is upposed to mean the God's Word comes generally to all people without discrimination and that each person must make up his or her mind to accept Jesus in their heart. This accepting, or -inviting, has never happened yet, nor will ever happen, for the natural inclination of every human being is to run away at full tilt from Jesus' majesty and love. In Romans 3 Paul witnesses to this horrible human prediction: "None is righteous, no not one; no one understands, no one seeks fro God. All have turned aside, together they have gone wrong; no one does good, not even one," This means that every human person makes the basic choice, because of original sin, to distrust God, and prefer the myth' that they can, at their own discretion accept or invite God into their hearts; salvation in this sense is based on human choice, on the presumption (presumption, mind you!) that there is good in every human being, and that some kind of righteousness exists which gives each person the prerogative to accept or reject the majestic Saviou This is blasphemy, for the rich Gospel of Christ is that people arc saved by grace alone. Not only that reference to Rev. 3:20. This was written not to people in general. Revelation, and the whole of Scriptures, was written: totheChruch of Christ Jesus, and Christ says that only those whom he has filled with his grace can and may open the door. MI others do not even hear the knocking, so busy are thy hiding in myths. In contrast to this myth stands the majesty of God's Word, that men and women, boys and girls, arc saved by grace alone. God's love is that all who believe in Jesus arc saved against their will to belong to the Body of Christ. this is the understanding God gives to all who belong to him. And to belong to him means to belong to the Church, in which God strenghtens and builds the faith of his people. Mariners service storm The Rev. G.L. Royal, M.A.M. Div., Moderator of Knox Presbyterian Church will conduct the 64th Annual Mariners' Service which willbe held on Sunday, February 27 at 7:30 p.m. The Mariners' Service is a tradition of this lake port as tribute is paid to those men and women who lost their lives in the greatest marine disaster ever recorded in the history of the Great Lakes, The Great Storm of Sunday, November 9, 1913. Seventy mile an hour winds raged across the great lakes from the southwest, suddenly chang- ing to the northwest causing 71 great lake freighters to be lost with a death toll of 254 men and women, Twenty-four of these great ships of that particular era went -down in Lake Huron, eight of them in the Goderich area. They were: The Wexford; the Regina; the John A. McGean; the Ames A; Carruthers; the Issac M. Scott, the Hydrus; the Charles S. Price and the Argus, This lake port was at one time noted for its ship building activities - great schooners and sailing vessels were built at the harbour. There was also large fleets of commercial fishermen and there was several lumber mills. Many men associated with these various industries would "Go to sea" in the spring of the year. Prior to 'going to sea' a ' church service was conducted at Knox for these men and their families. The Late Dr, James Anderson conducted the first of THE BLYTH STANDARD/FEBRUARY 16, 1977. PG. 7.

In the spring of 1914 the late Dr. George Ross, who had officiated at the burial of 23 seamen who lost thein lives in the Great Storm, suggested that the service be named 'The Mariners' Service', which would include everyone associated with the Marine Trade, The Nave of Knox is invariably decorated for the Mariners' service - all of the decorations which arc used for the service have been donated to Knox, to be used during the Mariners' Service some of which include Signal Flags from Imperial Oil Ltd., House flags from The Algoma Central Railways Ltd., The Canada Steamship Co. Ltd., The Upper Lakes Transportation Co. Ltd.; and the Quebec -Ontario Shipping Co. Ltd. The four sets of nets which are used in the chancel were donated by the Siddall Fisheries Ltd. The Canadian flag and the Canadian ensign which are also in the i chancel, were given to the church by Captain Charles Stowe and J.A. McConnell. The running lights are from the Algoma Central ship The Agawa, which is the barge G.L. Parsons. The Agavia was built in 1908 and named the Howard M Hanna Jr. She was wrecked in 1915 in Lake Huron. She was salvaged and named the Glen Shee. She was purchased by Canada Steamship lines in 1926 and renamed the Goderich. The Algoma Central Company purchased her in 1961 and named her the Agawa. The large white cross with its one hundred lights was built by the late Harry McCreath • the light house which is placed in the narthex was made by the Dominion Road Machinery Company Ltd., and presented, to the church. The ships wheel which stands in front of the communion table in church chancel is white oak. The wheel was presented to the church by Mr. Wm. Young, a member of the Mariners' Service ' Committee The wheel came from the whalebck Alexander Holley. The Dead Eye Chain Plate, which is displayed on the stairway of the chancel, is a section of the standard rigging of the two masted schooner Azov which floundered on the American side of Point Aux Barque on Lake Huron in the fall of 1911, almost two years before the Great Storm, The crew, in command of Captain John MacDonald of Goderich, drifted across the lake onto a shoal five miles off Chantry Island where she sank: The chain plate was recovered . by Bruce MacDonald and Allen MacDonald in 1956.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: May 1 add something to your superficial answer concerning the gentleman who droned on and on in conversation •- "boring everyone to death"? This is a symptom of a problem known as "verbal expression disability." The victim of this condition has an extremely difficult time organizing his thoughts. He tries to compensate for his weakness by speaking slowly and deliberately -- pausing frequently in an attempt to pull his ideas together and hold his audience. 1 hope the next time a person complains about a "non-stop talker" who connects one sent- ence with anoth er bysaying "and e •-uh•- ' you will not call him a "crashing bore." Enlightened educators are now making an effort to help children with learning disabilities which later may develop into verbal expression disabilities, l'm disap- pointed that you were not more compassionate. •• An Educational Therapist DEAR ED: 1 may be inadequate in some areas but lacking in Boring people disabled? compassion 1 am not, Sorry, dear, but there are more crashing bores around than people with "verbal expression disabilities." DEAR ANN: A wife asked what you thought about a cute, young secretary who said to her boss (jokingly, of course), "If you lose 30 pounds I'll have an affair with you, Your reply was, "At the heart of every remark made in jest is a kernel of truth," How right you were! 1 am caught in a similar situation -- in reverse. My overweight boss asked, with a devilish grin, if I would give him a kiss for every ten pounds he lost, He really needed to lose weight (doctor's orders) so 1 agreed, thinking maybe I'd help add a few years to his life. He bought a scale and kept it under his desk. Within five days, "Big Daddy" lost ten pounds and 1 paid off. Soon after, he lost another ten. The second kiss was more passionate than the first. The' third was even more so. Before long we were kissing without any weight loss and ended up locking the office door. To make a long story short, I am now involved in a full-scale affair. I'm not asking for advice because I believe everyone has to solve his or her own problems. But I had to write to say you're an awfully smart lady.

The most exciting original motion picture event of all time. 'Tis Show Biz Family movie �v�e proves popular with local audience BY VONNI LEE Packed houses for every performance and long lines of people standing in sub -zero temperatures and chilling winds say a great deal about a movie. It doesn't happen often nowadays but it happened last week when "The Wilderness Family" laugh- ed its way into the hearts of Western Ontario residents. It played to full houses 'throughout the area, many people coming back three consecutive nights, to ensure themselves of a viewing place. When asked if the ' long chilling wait was worth it, the feeling seemed to be unanimous: "It sure was!" The movie is the heart-warm- ing story of a city family who blow it all to live close to nature in the wilderness of the northern bush - land, Father Skip is bored with a noisy unfulfilling job; daughter Jenny is developing breathing problems; the rat race of the city is getting to them all. So they decide they've had it and they want to start again, with a home built of wood they cut themselves, eating food they have grown or killed themselves; becoming clos- er to nature and in turn, closer to each other. Tenderly, the movie shows what really can happen to people when they live in harmony with nature. From the moment they walk into a two-by-four cabin that will be their home and sec a raccoon pop his head out of the box stove, their lives are touched with relationships with God's creation. Two motherless bear cubs join the family; two playful little wildcats follow the children (home from play one day; and big Sanson, a tame loveable black bear, eats them out of house and home but ends up saving their lives. It all sounds very adventurous and joyful. But nothing is all roses. And the Wilderness Family has many second thoughts, suffers many traumatic experi- ences and makes many sacrifices, It may be a life for the nature -lover but it is not a life for the weak. Unknown performers make the story come alive, but the real stars are the animals who repay love with loyality and ask only to live free as it was meant to be, Only a few minutes later on The National, hunters armed with clubs were beating baby seals to death, And calling it part of nature's plan. How very little man knows about that vast world yet unexplored - and how little man cares! ***** For more years than most of us would like to remember, Hockey Night in Canada has been the nation's top-rated television show, drawing an estimated four million viewers every week, It's Canada's national sport and people of all ages follow the action until it becomes some kind of obsession with them. In the early years that 1 viewed (?) hockey, I remember it only as being the show that preceded Juliette. I suffered through the last minutes because I wanted to see her show, There was never a set time for good ole Julie to show up because hockey might contin- ue until newstime or beyond. Now that has changed. Saturday night is truly Hockey Night in Canada this year as the network has added a new half-hour feature called "Over- time". The new feature looks at the game just played and also gives highlights of the week's hockey action, with facts, figures, replays and interviews with players, stars and personalities. It is hosted by either Tom McKee or% Don Chevrier. Topping off the most popular show in Canadian television,' "Overtime" has a built-in audi- ence before it even gets off the ground and the largest number of viewers for a non -prime -time spot.
