Taking part in the ceremony are (from left) John Jewitt, Reeve of Hullet township; Simon Big turn out packs. Community Centre for opening A full -house audience was in attendance Saturday night for the official opening of • the Blyth and District Community Centre, The.evening began with a smorgasbord dinner for 350 persons. Members of the head table included Mr, and Mrs. Murray Gaunt, Liveral M.L.A. for Huron Bruce; Mr. and Mrs. Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron Middlesex; Warden and Mrs. Dough McNeil; warden of Huron County; Reeve Don Nobel, Blyth, John Jewitt, Hullett, William Elston, Morris and Simon Hallahan, East Wawanosh; Al Sinclair, Ministry of Culture and •Recreation; George Hubbard, chairman of the building committee and William Riehl, chairman of the finance committee. Master of ceremonies for the evening was Jim Lawrie, Each of the guests spoke briefly most • giving credit to the community for its achievement and to the citizens who worked on the committees to look aftef the replacement of the building. Mr. Sinclair said he wished the Wintario people could learn to act as fast in processing grant applications as the Blyth people did in tearing down their old arena and building a new one. Mr. Elston pointed out that Blyth is a busy place these days with the new arena, , the senior citizens apartments, the sewer project and other projects under way. Reeve John Jewitt praised several people in their efforts, Reeve Simon Hallahan praised the work of the fundraisers. Similar congratulations came from Mr. McKinley and Mr. Gaunt. The biggest slip of the ceremonies came .when officials almost forgot to cut the ribbon opening the building and then, forgot after the ceremony to declare' the building officially open. After a chuckle, however, the audience settled back for the after-dinner entertainment provided by the Bradley family. This followed by dancing and music of The Country Companions. Both groups had donated their services. Hallahan, Reeve of East Wawanosh; William Elston, Reeve of Morris; Don Noble, Reeve of Blyth; Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron -Middlesex and Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron Bruce. Mrs. Robert McKinley made the draw at the Community Centre opening Saturday night which won the new car draw for Ian Girfflths, Windsor. The draw sponsored by the Legion and Lions club, raised about $2500 toward the cost of the arena. County budget • Despite an increase of 7.5 per cent in Huron County Budget for 1977 taxes will not be raised due to a surplus of almost half a million dollars, a 15 per cent increase in provinical subsidies and a four per cent rise in municipal payment to the county. Huron County council approved the $8,321,297 budget for 1977 when it met at Goderich last Thursday afternoon. The new budget, Clerk Treasuerer Bill Hanly explains, is 7.5 per cent above the budget struck in 1976 but it is actually 14 per cent higher than ,expenditures last year. County officials also explained that higher assessment in Huron, due to a rise in both population and property values, will' also help to pay the bill without tax increases.Assessment value in the county has increased nearly four per cent in the past 12 months. ups 7.5 % but The new budget shows an increase in spending by all county departments with no one division contributing to the increases more than another. Increases in fuel and material costs had as much to do with the rise as anything and, .for the first time in a number of years, employee wage and salary increases, held to about six per cent because of anti-inflation regulations, are not being seen as a major contributor to the increase. The County Roads Department have increased their budget from $2,381,022 in expenditures last year to a projected $2,908,000 in 1977. An increase of 22 per cent. An apportionment by-law, to raise the sum of $1,507,000 for general purposes, will be presented at Council's March session. The sum represents Huron's share of the road budget: Of the total sum Editorial Pg. 41 'Church Pg. 7 Classified Pg. 14 Entertainment Pg. 1. Health Council report ready by ) une Huron Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Frank Mills, told County Council at last Thursday's meeting he expected the steering committe studying the creation of a Huron -Perth district health council to hand its report to the Ministry of Health by the end of June. Two final public meetings have been set for March 30 at Kirkton and Listowel, Dr. Mills said, and after those the briefs and information gathered by the committee will be given final study and compiled into a report for the health ministry. That report will be designed to reflect the feelings of residents and groups in the counties of Huron and Perth on the health council concept. Health councils are nowin operation in 15 areas across Ontario and are meant to administer as well as advise the Ministry of Health on policy. Dr. Mills told the meeting that attendance and public gatherings called to discuss the new concept has not been large. He also noted that the committee now has about 75 briefs in hand. Opinion, he said, seems to be split 'between those who favor the idea and those who say they are satisfied with the present system of health care administration. Dr. Mills did note that those briefs opposing the health council idea seem to come from larger groups. The strongest opposition is corning from doctors in Perth County who say the council will interfere with the doctor - patient relationship. Morris Township Reeve Bill Elston suggested that representatives from the Ottawa -Carleton region be invited to one of the meetings to "Tell us just how bad it is." Dr. Mills agreed that the system did not work well in that region at the outset, but told Mr. Elston it has been functioning more efficiently in recent months. Dr. Mills also said it would tie too difficult to balance the speakers in favor and those opposed to the concept for the councillors. "We have to try to be fair," he stressed. "The' steering committee is not supposed to sway the people one way or the other." not taxes the Ministry of Transportation and ,Communications will contribute $1,570,000 land Road. Department has carried a surplus of $134,000 forward from its 1976 budeet. -Although traditionally a big spender, the . Road Department budget is not the largest. The social services budget holds that honor. Operations of Huronview will take most of that budget though, with estimated expenditures over the next year of $2,420,398. An increase of about 10 per cent. Of that sum the . Department of Community and Social Services of Ontario will provide $1,159,762 however, leaving the county share at $200,438. The 1977 budget will also provide an 18 per cent increase in council members' honoraria over last year's actual spending, although the new figure of $84,800 is nearly $10,000 less than the total allotted last year. • Continued on pg. 7 PG. 2.

In your heart you know it's right. BY BILL SMILEY We have such a crazy climate in this country that by the time this appears in print some dingbat will have spotted the first crocus peeping its dainty head through the snow. But right at the moment, any such crocus would have to come from the garden of King Kong. This winter has beak not a little unlike the sort -of arctic King Kong—a vast, uncontrollable mo- nster laughing with fiendish glee at the prospect of puny man trying to cope with his whistling, frigid breath, his frosty and fickly fingers, and his extremely bad case of dandruff. Around these parts we've had 13 to 15 feet of snow, depending on whom you are conversing with, If you are talking to me, you'll learn we had 18 feet. My wife would say; "About twelve and a half feet," in that sickening, righteous tone of hers that has made me hurl the hatchet and the butcher knife deep in the 16 feet of snow right behind the kitchen door, to avoid temptation. Though we have a pretty good running parry -and -thrust on ever- ything from pea soup to politics, from golf to garbage, we just don't fight about the weather. 4-H club meets The first meeting was held on February 24 at the home of Mrs. Bev Snell, The girls started off with the 4-H Pledge. All answered the Roll Call, then had the election of officers. Cathy Madill was nominated as president; Marie Mason as press reporter and it was decided to have a Revolving Secretary. In group work everyone had a chance to take someone else's measurements for the size of garment •they were going to make. The discussion was mainly on these headings; choosing the style and pattern, choosing the fabric, trims and notions and getting ready to cut the fabric. They ended our meeting with the 4•H motto, Oh! Canada Until this winter. Now it's hammer and tongs almost every day, And 1 scent to have wound up with the tongs. I stagger out through the blizzard every morning, brush the snow off the car, scrape the ice off the windshield with my finger- nails because she has lost the scraper and sit there freezing my poorly padded bum for 10 minutes, warming the beast up. Then 1 bomb the vehicle out of the driveway, risking my life every morning; because 1 can't see anything coming, from any direction. I park it on the street. On the odd occasion when she decides to shop, she minces out to the car, heavily garbed, climbs into a warm wagon, parks behind the supermarket and walks 40 feet to the door. Every time she goes out, it has stopped snowing for one hour, the wind has dropped for one hour, and the sun gleams palely for one hour. She leaves the car out on the street when she comes home. 1 clean it off again, buck it thruugh a drift into the driveway, climb through more snow that goes in over my boots, and toter, breathless and forlorn, into the house. "Why do you make such a fuss?" she queries. "It's been a beautiful winter day." 1 don't mind her scoffing at my golf game, being able to ski twice as fast and far as I, or wondering aloud why anybody reads my column. But this winter she's gone too far, One of us has to break; either the weather, or me. She won't be so dam' smart when she wakes up on the first day of the March break and finds a note pinned to her pillow; "Off to the Canary Isles for 10 clays, Hear they're loaded with --Scand- inavian girls in bikinis or (gasp!) topless. Why don't you go and visit Grandad for a week or so. Love, Fahrenheit Bill." She's a Celsius and it drives me nuts. But it's not only my wife who helped, with the aid of this atrocious winter, to depress me. It's the cost. This is rough reckoning, but close enough. From last November the first, it has cost me, approximately: $420 for fuel oil; $120 for the driveway plowing; $50 for the kid next door, snow -shovelling; $60 for battery boosts, tow trucks and other winter items for cars, That, my friends, is 650 bucks for the privilege of spending the winter in the true north, strong and freezing.

I could have saved a bit on the all bill by burning the furniture. And 1 could have saved a bit on the plowing and shovelling if 1 had been able to quit my job and shovel about four hours a day. But it seems rather a peculiar way to save money, And of course, by now I'd be dead of a heart attack, so where's the percentage? Tell me, some of my friends who go south every winter, Does it cost more to eat down there? Less you say. Does it cost more to drive a car down there? Less you say. Does it cost more for accommodation? Less, you say, and you add that it can cost $52 for an ordinary double room in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, But don't you get sick of all that fresh orange juice, and those crispy salads twice a day? , No, you say. Don't you feel you are deserting the ship, somewhat, when your country needs you, when it is the duty of every man and woman to put his and/or her shoulder to the car that's stuck in the drift? No, you say. Have you no thought, no slightest sympathy, for the pensioner who tries to peer through his frosted windows, who is scared to venture forth because he might bust his back in a foot - skid, or freeze into a statue on his way to the liquor store? Definitely not, yott say. • O.K. O.K. I haven't figured it out yet, but I'll devise some way of some day getting even with all you rotten rich who are loafing around in the sun while I battle with the Old Battleaxe about the windchill factor. In the meantime, it's the least you could do, somebody, any- body, to ask me down for a long weekend, From the fifteenth of February to the Ides of March would be just right.

The project, funded by a $577,350 grant from the Kellogg Foundation, is aimed at develop- ing means by which resources and expertise at the University can be put to use in the rural development process. Huron was chosen because it is an area already in contact with the University of Guelph and one which is advanced in its planning process. Now that the University has been assured co-operation they are expected to appoint a project director in the near future and County council has appointed Goderich Reeve'Bill Clifford as its representative on the project advisory board. The county planning board is to act as the liason agency between the council and the. University team. Annual progress reports are to be submitted to council and the agreement approved on Thursday provides that the County or the University may withdraw from the project if differences are encountered which cannot be resolved by adjustment or dialogue. In other business arising from the report of the Planning Board to council last Thursday the councillors approved a recommendation that the planning department be author- ized to make application to the Ministry of Housing for a Community Planning Study Grant for the preparation of a model rural zoning by-law. Cost of the program is estimated at $3,400, Council also voted to establish a subcommittee to conduct a review of the Ontario Building Code, It was agreed that this subcommittee should consist of three membes and G.H. Stirling, R.M. Williamson and H. Knight, along with Warden D.A. McNeil in his ex officio capacity, were appointed to the new body. Blyth 4-H Club The first meeting of Blyth II was held on February 25 at Mrs. MacDonalds, The meeting was opened with the 4-H pledge, and 12 people answered the roll call.

[1 WIWI :ram .roo11.�,11, From the minister's study The greates victory BY REV. CECIL WHITTICH The story is told of St.. Christopher who, as a young man, wanted to serve the strongest force in the universe, He heard of an army that wa acclaimed as being the most powerful army in the world, He went and enlisted in the army. He devoted himself completely to the training requirements and was very pleased to be a member of such a force believing now that he was a part of the greatest power on earth. One day, he noticed some of the men were not showing up for drill. He became concerned and inquired, and found that sonic of the men had been up most of the night indulging in strong drimk and licentious relations with one another, Christopher began thinking about it and began to realize that there must be a power stronger than this army • 'since the activities of these men was interfering with their training exercises and thereby diminishing the strength of the army. As Christopher thought about it, he came to believe that these men were ycilding to the allurements of Satan and that Satan must be stronger than this army, Christopher, still wanting to serve the greatest force in the world, left the army and began to follow Satan, He was led into doing everything that was wrong but still he had the satisfaction of thinking he was serving the strongest power in the world. Then, one day, Christopher was on the outskirts of a large•city. He heard a crowd of people shouting and walking in a long line up a hill. His curiosity aroused, he went to see what was going on. By the time he arrived, a man had been nailed to a cross and he heard him saying, "It is finished". At that moment, Christopher noticed Satan in some nearby bushes slinking away and looking very frightened. Immediately Crhistopher wondered, why is Satan looking so scared. Christopher, anxious to find out, went to the cross to ask of those who stood by what this man meant when he said, "It is finished", They told him that this was Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, the Son of God, and that he gave his life for the defeat of the devil and the forgiveness of sin. Christopher could hardly believe his ears and went away to think about it. A few days later, he heard that this Jesus was alivo again and that the grave could not keep him. Still wanting to serve the world's supreme power, he inquired more about this Jesus and came to renounce the devil and to give his life to Jesus. For the rest of his days, Christopher never came across a greater power, and, in the end, he died in peace, knowing that the grave was but a stepping stone to him whom he loved and served. This Christ is for everyone • "Whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) Hullett council to build new garage Hullett township. council has hired an engineering company to design a new public works garage. The decision was reached at a special meeting on Feb. 15 after visitng several other township garages. Council also met on Feb. 18 to discuss several municipal drains. The report of the Verwey drain was read and adopted except that Leonard Archambault decided to leave the portion of the drain through his property open. The report of the Tamblyn drain was read and adopted after some discussion over the need for another catch basin, It will be decided later if a catchbasin is needed. The report on the Kelland drain was read and accepted, At the regular meeting of council held at the community hall, Londesboro on Feb. 4, council discussed with B. Shill- inglaw, D. Buchanan and W. Reid the possible cling of sideroad 20-21, Con 10 and its possible use as a runway for a crop dusting . aircraft. Council decided it would be better not to close the sideroad permanently. Also present at the meeting was Ralph Buffinga to discuss changes in the school bus routes necessitated by the heavy snow- fall, The clerk -treasurer was instr- ucted to ask the Bank of Commerce and Bank of Moritreal to send their resumes for their banking services, . The 'Fidelity Insurance Policy with Frank Cowan Company was accepted, Hugh Flynn was named the townships representative to the Huron - County Farm Safety Association with Joe Gibson as the second delegate. Mr. Gibson • was also appointed to attend the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority Flood Plain meeting. A lengthy discussion took place regarding wages for the Road Department and the requirement of the Anti -Inflation Board approval on the ammendment of council of Jan. 19. Eventually a policy was accepted calling for lime and a hal for hours worked over a 45 -hour week and double time for any statuatory holidays worked in addition to the holiday being paid for itself, THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 2, 1977 PG, 7, County budget up Continued from pg, 1 County inspections and environment have been given $144,350 this year compared to $94,000 in 1976. The County Health Department budget has been increased from $920,720 last year to $984,212 this year, The Recreation and Culture budget, which includes operation of the Huron County Library system and the Museum at Goderich, has been increased to $449,550 from $429,177 in 1976. The Planning and Development budget has been struck at $236,900 for 1977 as compared to $229,800 last year. County officials say income during 1977 should include $2,666,000 from the municipalities, $3,893,165 from the pro- vince and a Local Initiatives Program grant of $15,300 from the Federal Government, Another $1,258,378 should be raised during 1977 through investments, fees and licences. Clerk Treasurer Hanly noted that almost all county agencies and departments came in under budget in 1976 and that Huron's revenue, especially in the area of investments, brought in more than was expected. "There is no doubt" he observed, "That the county is' in a very sound financial position," During 1977 it will be possible to add • $550,00 to county reserves, meaning it will not likely be necessary to borrow money to get through cash flow problems until the taxes are collected. That fact in itself will mean considerable savings in bank interest charges. Huron also boasts no large outstanding debts. The largest, a 10 year debenture to expand facilities at Huronview, was paid off in 1976. 1977 represents the third consecutive year that Huron has managed to hold the line on tax increases despite the fact spending has increased from $5,600,718 in 1974 to the 1977 budget total of $8,321,207.

Small libraries losing book circulation due to shorter hours The Huron County Library system is celebrating its first decade's service during 1977, In a report to County Council last Thursday, County Librarian Bill Partridge observed that the county wide Library Board was formed in January 1967 and that a look back might serve as beneficial in the formulation of future plans. He collected statistics for the last seven years in an attempt to evaluate the growth and evaluate the trends. Book circulation, he noted, has shown a steady growth from 1970 to 1976. Last year the total circulation was 246,000 books. Comparison of the town and village libraries with the other library stations indicates that there has been a gradual decline of use in the smaller libraries. In 1970 the circulation of these branches was 60,000, in 1976 it was 38,000. During 1976 the Whitechurch branch was closed due to this drop in circulation. Mr. Partridge noted there has been growth in inter -library loans. In 1976, 226 books were sent from other libraries to Huron County Libraries, a consid- Books at the Library First Love, Second Love By Mary Faid Mary Faid is well known for her enchanting stories set in Scot- land. In First Love, Second Love the heroine, Jan Russell was faced with a dilemma when she came into a modest fortune. Should she use it to help her family or to further her own ambitions. Her decision leads to a turning point in her relation with Gavin Dunlop and results in the beginning of a new freindship with David Grant. Their story provides us with a delightful novel. The Blind Side By Clifford The Blind Side adds despair and desperation to the usual drama, truth, suspense and excitement found in most novels. Two men who feel these emotions are two brothers: one a priest, the other a spy. Richard's priesthood had been gained among the starving villages of Biafra while Howard's conversion had hap- pened in Korea. Both brothdrs were searching for what they themselves had been denied. erable increase over 1970 requ- ests of 75 books. "More interesting," the librar- ian's report notes, "is the rapid increase of books asked for from other libraries. 167 requests. were filled from Huron County for outside libraries last year, in 1970 there were no such requests for this service," • Part of the increase, he said, is due to the fact Huron County library books are now listed in 'Adult Books in Print', and since Wellington County is a newly formed library, they have made use of the local service. In 1976 there were 16,000 members in Huron County compared to 10,000 in 1970; "That increase in members," Mr. Partridge told the council, "is well above the growth in population for the County." Loan of films from Midwestern Regional Library began in 1971. In the first year of operation 571 films were borrowed compared with 1976 circulation of 1,318 indicating the value of this service for local churches, clubs and schools. There has been an increase in the budget over the seven year period as well. The 1976 revised budget of $158,000. The largest increase in expend- itures is found in the salaries. In 1976 salaries were $173,000 compared with $61,000 in 1970. Expenses for books has increa- sed to $90,000 from $62,000 in 1970, rents have increased to $40,000 in 1976 from $15,000 in 1970. Librarian Partridge points to Who Needs Rainbows By Ivy Buckman Ann's whole life seemed to be involved in the parish of Queens in New York and then her father decided to move to Midville Kansas. For Ann Chaney this appeared to be the end of everything. But in her new home she was soon chosen for membership in the school's elite . sorority and all seemed well again. Later when she had learned more about, the sorority, Tops, Ann felt forced to resign from the group and faced social ostracism. She had to choose between principles and popularity and she faced her problems in an untypically strong way. The Donkey Rustlers By Gerald Durrell This novel for young people has its setting on a Greek island. Two English children, David and Amanda are visiting on the island and want to help their young friend who has no real home. A plot is formed to rustle away the village donkeys, but they soon discover that donkeys don't particularly like to be rustled in the middle of the night.

S S'f,.•' 109 AV* of j This is what Ontario is doing about it. Mentally retarded people are often capable of much greater development than had previously been thought possible. Although they learn at a slower rate than others, the developmentally handicapped can frequently develop skills and abilities that enable them to be integrated into the community as a whole. The plan to achieve this goal, known as "Community Living," is administered by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and is conducted in partnership with local Associations for the Mentally Retarded and other concerned community agencies. Basically, it calls for: • c>'eation and funding of group homes and other kinds of community accommodation • increased numbers of workshops and life skills programs • early infant stimulation programs, parent relief and development projects • access for developmentally handicapped people to a full range of community services. All of these activities aim at achieving a better quality of life for Ontario's developmentally handicapped, and at making their experiences as normal as possible. The approach is a new one. A good one. A healthy one. Your support and understanding can help it succeed.

The cost151 the project is to be approximately `55400 which will be totally borne by the -Ministry of Culture and Recreation. The County will pay the authorized bills and will then be reimbursed in full by the Province, County Development Officer Spence Cummings explained that the Ontario Development Corporation has asked for the study to see just how much use facilities at Huron Park could be put to by residents of south Huron and northern Middlesex counties. Goderich Township Reeve Gerry Ginn asked if this meant that the ODC might be interested in funding similar studies in other areas, perhaps at Clinton. "I wonder if they will pay for such work in other areas, or just where ODC property is involved," he observed. Mr, Cummings said that he assumed the ODC would decide each case on its own merits and noted that it would likely depend on just how much money the corporation had to spend.
