tie BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 20 CENTS VOLUME 87 • NO, 12, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 1977. Come home for the Blyth Centennial July 30 - August 1, 1977 Editorial Pg. 41 Church Pg. 7 Classlfied Pg. 14 Entertainment Pg. 1. Growing list of Centennial activities means hectic year Beginning next month it looks like Blyth is in for a hectic time as it approaches the Centennial weekend of July 30 - August 1. Plans outlined at Thursday night's monthly Centennial Committee meeting show that things will soon be in full swing and will continue full speed until the big weekend. • The sports part of the celebration begins Aril 7 when the C.K.N.X. Tryhards comes to town. April 24, 25 and 26 sees the Centennial Crusade. Fred Howson reported at the meeting on plans for the Crusade. It will be held in Memorial Hall Theatre at 7:45 each evening. Rev. Wesley Ball, a United Church Minister from Gorrie and Wroxeter will be the guest speaker all 'three nights, Mrs, Margaret Kai will be in charge of the music and a massed choir from all churches in Blyth will perform. May 7 will see the' penny sale held to raise money for the Centennial. Joan Liebold reporting on that sale said the mermchants have been fantastic in their co-operation for the sale. They have donated some wonderful prizes, she said. The sale itself will take place at Memorial Hall, but for the week prior to the sale the Orange Hall will be used as a place where people can drop in and see the prizes and buy their tickets, Senior members of the Blyth figure skating club rehearse a square dance sequence for the upcoming ice show presented by the club at Blyth and District Community Centre on March 25. The show involves skaters from the youngest members to the oldest. Need for cheaper housing discussed at Planning workshop The planning workshop meetings held to gather information for the Blyth secondary plan continue to be short on numbers but long on discussion. Monday night the third in the series of four meetings was held with only 25 persons present. The meeting lasted four hours, though, as organizers struggled to get a consensus of opinion out of members of the audience on just where the village should be headed. The meeting dealt with the areas of housing a parks. Statistics given at the beginning of the study showed that there are 284 housing units in Blyth with 225 or 79 per cent being single family units. Mobile homes make up 3.8 per cent of the homes in the village, The mobile home question was one of the topics that brought about considerable discussion but it was difficult to get the audience to come to a conclusion. Mrs. Betty Battye argued that proposals such as a special subdivision for mobile homes are /discrimination and mobile' home owners are being treated like second class citizens. Jim Howson argued that rther than being second class citizens mobile home owners were being very realistic.. For young people, he said, the mobile home was a •good way to own a home without living beyond their means. Planner roman Dzus' said mobile 'homes which can be located on a servied lot v(ith all furniture and appliances for about S20,000 are a good stepping stone "in homeownership and provide iow mainten- ance, low cost housing. In argument against ',the claim of discrimination against mobilelhomes with a special subdivision, it was pointed out that costs involved would be lower for a special subdivision than for a mobile,home located on a regular lot. Lot sizes would be smaller, meaning less land cost. Services such as sewers and others would be less expensive in a mobile home subdivision because there is less frontage on each lot. By proper design and landscaping of the subdivision the mobile homes could be showed off to best advantage, rather than looking at a disadvantage beside larger regular homes, Herb Shanon said. The need for rental accomodation such as apartments was discussed. While some people felt that rents were not high enough in blyth to allow an apartment owner to make a decent return on investment, others felt that the demand was high for apartments and if they were available, they could be rented at the going rate charge in other nearby towns. A discussion took place on 'the high cost of housing. Jim Howson argued that one reason for the high cost of housing is that people buying a house today want a big house with all the extras. Bruce Falconer agreed, saying hat in houses he has built, windows, could be put in for $700 but most people preferred ones that cost S2000 to S3000. Housing costs could be brought down, it was argued, if people were willing to build smaller simpler homes. Such possibilities as condominium developments which would allow older to own their own home yet not have the burden of upkeep of yards were discussed. In the area of parks, it was noted that Blyth:spanearly 14 acres of park is adequate by the; accepted standards but it was questioned if this was distributed to best advantage. Ron Henry suggested that a playground was needed in the north end where children are a long way from the nearest park. His wife said that she wouldn't mind taking children to the park downtown if there were proper sidewalks on Queen street. Discussion took place on the future of lands along the Blyth Brook. Mr. Dzus pointed out that under the regulations of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority, no building would be allowed on the floodplain area along the river. There wre three options for the land: leave it in a natural state, use it for farmland or develop it as a park. Mrs. Phyllis Street suggested that a part should be developed somewhere near the river which would contain facilities for camping. It was pointed out that highway 4 is a busy tourist route, that many of the other campgrounds in the area are filled to capacity on summer weekends and that tourist accomodation 'is necessary to take full advantage of such tourist attractions in Blyth as the leather mills and the Summer Festival. It was pointed out that government funds are available to help set up such a park area. The preservation of heritage homes was a hot topic. Under heritage legislation, a ' building designated as heritage building must conform to standards for any exterior renovation which will not detract from the original architecture. There are also, under new legislation, some tax benefits to the owners of such homes, Mr. Dzus said. Mason Bailey argued that this was telling someone what the could do with their own property and warned against too many restrictions• to personal initiative. Eventually the meeting approved a vote to have village council explore the possibility of a heritage study and see how much it would cost. The day of the penny sale will also feature a dessert and coffee party at which, Joan said, it is hoped people will wear centennial dress. May 14 is another Centennial dance at the Community centre. May 18 will see the variety conceit at Memorial Hall and the crowning of the junior and senior centennial Queens. So far there are eight junior contestants and four or five seniors. They will be chosen by public voting carried out before the concert. Jimmy Lawrie is arranging the program for the concert and it is reported to be a very good one, including appearances by some former Blyth residents. June 2 is tentatively scheduled for the appearance of the Royal Brothers Circus, although the final contract has not yet been signed. June 18 is the big Billy Meek sho;v at the Blyth and District Community Centre to be followed by a dance. One thousand tickets for this event will soon be on sale. There are many other activities which are going to take place which are still in the planning stage as yet. One will be a ball tournament to be held sometime before Centennial weekend itself. Another is a program which Miss Melda McElroy volunteered to organize. It would feature an art display, a showing of slides on Gret Britain and music by Ray Buchanan who performed at Memorial Hall last fall to high praise from those who attended. Centennial weekend itself will be a hectic time with many, many activities planned. Friday night will see a teen dance at the community centre. It will also see the judging of the beard growing contest. Mrs. Liebold promises judges from out of town for that event since she says, everybody in Blyth is on the take to their favourite beard. Saturday will see the parade in the afternoon. There will be an "at home" at the public school with a display of entries in the children's centennial contests. There will be a midway at the fair grounds. A prominent part of the Saturday activities will be a craft show and sale at the old show hall at the fair grounds. Mrs. Dan McInnes is in charge and she says that a wide variety of crafts from woodworking to weaving to china painting and oil painting will be on display. The show will feature local crafters as well as some guests from out of town. Nearly all the space is now booked, she said. The show will run from 12 - 6. The evening will see pony races at the race track with drivers from all over Ontario. These will take place at 7:45. The dance at the community centre sponsored by the Lions Club features the Mercey Brothers. Sunday will see the massed Drum -head service of the Legion branches in the zone in the afternoon. It will also see a community church service in the evening. Monday will probably see a horse show at the fair grounds in the afternoon though plans are not finalized yet. Besides other activities during the day the whole weekend will likely be wound up by a giant bonfire and community sing -along at the fair grounds. Throughout the weekend the Blyth Summer Festival will feature its produc- tions, particularly the Blyth Memorial History Show, written by Jim Schaefer specially for Blyth's Centennial. Mr. Schaefer was one of the writers responsible for the hit show Mostly in Clover from the past two seasons. Many other events are also in the planning stage and it is hoped soon to have a program outlining all. All in all. it looks like 1977 is a year Blyth won't forget in a long time. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 23, 1977. DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 am 39, never married, love my work and have traveled all over the world: Life is good. 1 live with my parents and believe it or not I'm still a virgin.

It was wonderful, Two weeks ago he told me his "secret". He is impotent, I was shocked and disappointed but decided to marry him anyway and try to help him overcome the problem. The next week I told him MY secrets. One: I had a hysterectomy when I was 26. Two: I am three years older than I said I was. (1 look younger than he does by at least five years.) Yesterday he wrote me a letter saying it was all over between us. The reason: He couldn't forgive me for lying about my age. I was hurt and bewildered. Do you think the real reason was my operation?

In fact, I remember the first few lines. Here they are: "If you chew it in the morning it will be too hard to bit, "Can't you see I'm going crazy, won't someone set me right? "Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost Overnight?" Have you heard one of the latest hits, "Dropkick Me Jesus Through the Goal Posts of Life"? Just between us kids, I'll take chewing gum. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I have been reading with interest your letters from bus -riding females complaining that men become boorish. They believe Women's Lib has done in chivalry. Well, here's my story: When I offered my seat on the bus to a young woman she looked at me and said, "Thanks alot, but I think you need it more than 1 do," 1 decided from then on that I'd just sit, Am 1 right?--E.D., Chicago. DEAR E.D.: No. You happen to be a friend of mine, so I'm aware of your recent back operation. The woman meant well.

Hullett council approves recreation budget Hullett township\council accepted the recreation board budget for the township when it met for its regular March meeting on March 7. The budget approved calls for expenditure of $2500 in the coming year. In other business Mr. John Flynn was present to ask about the opening of sideroad 2O 21. Councillors agreed that some- thing should be done to improve slippery conditions on the road that was open but felt it could not afford the expense of opening the sideroad at that time. Maurice Bean and Robert Peel were present to ask for a grnt for the Federation of Agriculture. Council agrees to a grant of $1000. with $300 to go for township activities and the remainder for county activities.

Blyth councillors irate over education levy After many bitter comments, Blyth village council Tuesday night voted approval of the Huron County Board of Education levy which is up 22.8 per cent over last year's record levy. - Councillor Con Van Vliet actually moved a motion to only pay eight per cent of the increase, an amount equal to the Anti-inflation Board guidelines but Cler- Treasurer Larry Walsh pointed out the move wouldn't work. The village would simply be charged interest on the unpaid portion he said. Councillor Van Vliet said the board was "just like the Mafia" in the way it can demand money from the municipalities. "It's getting ridiculous". It was pointed out that the Board levy last year was an increase of nearly.30 per cent and a much lower increase had been expected this year. Yet despite lower enrollment, councillor Van Vliet said, the costs keep going up. After grumbling that they really didn't have any choice in the matter, councillors Helen Gowing and Albert Wasson agreed to accept the levy. Savings Galore throughout the store TEXMADE Warmsheets $1.

We're in the news again After Canada being in the world news spotlight a week ago because of the real and imaginary doings of Margaret Trudeau, we were right back in the headlines last week because of our barbarous treatment of baby seals. Last week hundreds of reporters, and photographers. many of whom had probably never heard of Newfoundland before, were filling the little villages along the shoreline so they could go out on the iceflows and take pictures of cute little seal cubs looking soulfully up at the camera. They could have stayed home at most of their home cities and gone down to the stock yards and taken pictures of soulful cattlebeasts and pigs about to go to slaughter but they just aren't as cute. Anyway, it snke to get 3 little world travel in on the expense account, even if it is Newfoundland in winter. And wasn't it nice of aging world sex symbol Brigitte Bardot to fly over to Newfoundland in her private jet, wearing her expensive clothes to tell the poverty stricken sealers of the Newfoundland outports that they were immoral and uncivilized for killing baby seals? Perhaps she could show them how to make millions for going around -with few, or no clothes on. They might even want to give up sealing then. A different Davis in minority government Recent popularity polls show that Premier William Davis and his Progressive Conservative Party are again well out front in Ontario. Davis himself has been boosted by the poll which showed he was chosen two to one over Stephen Lewis and four to one over Dr. Stuart Smith. His party is also well on top in the-poUs,_The poll is a cross -Ontario one but one can predict that even here in- Western Ontario, the hotbed of the "hate -Davis" feeling of a year ago. Davis is. if not loved, at least not detested so much. Why the turnaround? The answer is as simple as the minority government that Davis and his buddies have been forced to live with for more than a year. After having nearly 30 years of absolute power, suddenly the government was in a ticklish situation which meant it had ro listen to people, or be defeated quickly by the opposition in the Legislature. and likely later at the polls. Faced with this kind of emergency. the government has become more manageable. What has happened to the old plans to promote regional government from one side of Ontario to the other? What has happened to the plan to wipe out small hospitals? What of the many other dictatorial plans of the government to change the whole sodal structure of Ontario as they thought was best? Those plans have been abandoned because for the first time in years. the government has been forced to listen to the people. Ontario has probably had its best government in 20 years in the past few months. The problem is. that with such a rebirth of popularity, the government is just apt ro go to the polls sometime soon. if that popularity lasts, we may well be faced with a Progressive Conservative majority government and be richt back where we started with an arrogant government which wants ro tell us what is good for us. whether we want it or not. Too bad we couldn't leave things just as they are for a while longer.

One good turn too many BY KEITH ROULSTON I was doing my spring housecleaning on my desk the other day (I always spring houseclean when the pile of papers on the desk reaches within six inches of the ceiling) vfien 1 came across a magazine arti:k 1'd put away sometime last fall until 1 had time to read it. L cbdn't have time to read it now ether but i took time because 1 just couldn't get up the courage to throve it out and didn't want to put it back on the desk again already. Anyway. the article was in Content. the magazine for the people working in the Canadian news business. h deah with the issue of coverage of the world food osis in the Canadian media and it sounded so good because it reaffirmed a few things i've been thinking and saying and writing in the past few years. As most of you probably know by now. and probably would just as soon forget. I've been a persistent critic of my colleagues in this badness of information distribu- tion in many areas, but particular- ly when it comes to coverage of farming and food production. After a while you begin to wonder if you're just an old grouch and a little paranoid at that. But there it was in black and, white, reinforcing all my gripes. Seems the University of West- ern Ontario school of journalism last spring decided to hold conference to study the whole issue of the media and the food issue. It was a case of "suppose you gave a party and nobody Many were invited from media bat only fn•e working journalists goosed up. One of them, Gord Weinman of the London Free Press tone of the few good food reporters in Canada) said he probably wouldn't have been able to carne if the conference hadn't been held in London. Earlier in the week -he'd wanted to go to Toronto to do some background repcng on the farm stabiliza- tion bill but had been turned They gave a party and nobody came down on the 515 trip. All of which shows the attitude of newspapers in Canada toward coverage of the food issue. The London Free Press is better than most Canadian newspapers but even it is ridiculously uninterest- ed in the industry that makes its home territory of Western Ontar- io tick. Officials from international agencies such as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization and the Canadian International Development agen• c,•, were present and complained about how hard it is to get the media to pay attention to what is really the biggest issue in the world today. When something' like the famine in Bangladesh or the drought in the Sahel the newspapers feature pictures of starving children and chilling stories of millions dying. At other times, when things are still bad. bur not so dramatic, they ignore the problem. And they ignore completely the positive side of food production in many of the developing countries. Trying to get the media to pay more attention to the issue is one of the major headaches of these international agencies. When they ask top news brass to send a reporter to take a look at international food problems they are told that times are tough and the budget won't allow for a reporter to go 300 miles to Africa or some other place. When they try to provide free transportation so the media can afford the trip, they are told that the ethics of the news business won't allow newsmen to accept free trips: it might tend to twist the news average. So. instead of potential- ly twisted news coverage, we get no coverage at all. This doesn't stop editorial writers on the major .newspapers from coming up with their instant solutions to all the world's problems, however (which usually are slanted toward the fact that we should produce more food and keep farm prices lower. The editors of Content probably hoped their article would light a fire under some of the newsmen to give better coverage of the world • food issue but I'm afraid their hopes are dashed that way. The articles appeared in an issue dated September 1976 and if anything, the coverage of the food issue is even worse now than it was a year ago. The whole slant of news coverage in Canadian media has been anti -marketing board, anti -subsidy and pro cheap food policy. Coverage of the internat- ional food scene has been virtually non-existent (there haven't been any major famines recently). There are still only a handful of reporters in Canadian newspapers and radio and televi- sion stations who know their hat from an aberdeen angus steer and they aren't given any support by their editors. The situation is frightening. Popular choir to perform One of Western Ontario's most popular choirs, the Dominion Life Choir of Waterloo will perform at Memorial Hall on April 12. The choir performed in Blyth at the United Church several yers ago and has performed in Wingham, Lucknow, Clinton, Godcrich and other centres in recent years. The music performed by the choir ranges from sacred to folk music and popular show music. including something for every taste. There are 25 voices in the choir. Tickets for the event are now on sale at The Blyth Standard, Blyth Printing and B.J. Fabrics at S2 for adults and SI for children. Proceeds of the concert will help repay the debt incurred in the renovation last year of Memorial Hall. BY BILL SMILEY One of the great rackets these days is the television series "spinoff", When a TV producer has a popular show, and one of the secondary characters is even mildly amusing, first thing you know that character has a show of his or''her own. This proliferates until you have spinoffs of spinoffs. It's like taking a bottle of fine whiskey, doubling tl_ie quantity by adding an equal amount of water, and selling it at the same price per shot as the original. Then you take this mouthwash and further dilute it by adding more water, and you go on selling this at the original price, It works fine and makes a lot of money until the consumer finally realizes he could get more bang out of a glass of buttermilk, and he starts -drinking buttermilk, and you are left with a large supply of gargle on your hands. Norman Lear was the first TV producer to realize that people like watching bigotry and bath- room jokes even more than they like watching violence. Thus was born All in the Family, one of the great money-makers of all times in TV land. From this was spun off Maude. • The bigotry became phoney liberalism and the bathroom jokes became bedroom jokes, but it was the same slick formula, and it worked, It was only a step from the slick to the sick, and brother Lear came up with Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, which,while hde not quite a spinoff, is one of the genre. Its favorite refrain is "Oh Gawd, Oh, my Gawd." Excellent fare for the morbid or diseased mind, Another good original show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, spun, or spawned Phyllis and Rhoda, each starring one of the most self-centred, unpleasant women a writer could dream up, and each laced with borderline bad taste. Ther`e's nothing wrong with all this, suppose, 1 in a free enterprise system, and nobody forces you to watch the garbage. But there is only so much that the stomach will take before it will spew. And there is only so much that the mind'will take before you will experience an intellectual vomit, and switch to watching the wrestling matches, where at least nobody is trying to pretend it's anything but phoney. However, perhaps I'm rushing my fences a bit, I'm a realist. If everybody else is getting into the spinoff business, maybe 1 should jump on the bandwaggon. There's money in it, and besides, it might be one way of putting an end to it. My record is perfect. Just after the war, I met an old buddy who'd become a broker. He was investing in gold stocks and hauling in the loot. Gave me a hot tip. I plunged, with some of the back pay I'd built up while in prison camp. Met the guy six months later. He'd lost his home and his boat and was selling farm machinery. I owned 300 shares of muskeg in Northern Qntario. After that I stayed away from the market until mutuals were the thing. They were showing tremendous growth and potential. Once bitten, I hesitated, but then dived in with my $200 savings. It seems I arrived just after the mutuals had nibbled some of that biscuit Alice did so she could go through the- rabbit hole, or whatever. They shrank almost overnight to $85 worth.

Atomic. energy of Canada Limited, which recent public accountants committee hearings have revealed as virtual- ly incompetent at managing its finances, has doubled its funding to $400 million from the $200 million in last year's estimates. The need for real restraint in government is not something dreamed up by opposition politic- ians for political advantage. It has come as economic reality to very nearly every one of the western industrial nations, those countries such as West Germany and Japan which have cut back the bureau- cratic overgrowth so that the productive elements of their economies can remain strong have ridden above the world economic crisis and are now entering upon a period of full employment and prosperity. Those which have not, such as Great Britain and Canada, must face continued uncertainty and high unemployment, cosmetic campaigns which are based more on the politics of illusion than the reality of economics only created complacency, not jobs. . The initial favourable impres- sion, does not last long when the realities contained in the fine print of the "Blue Book" begin to sink in. The reality of "restraint" appears to be not a moderation which the cabinet has imposed upon the bureaucracy, but cuts which the bureaucracy has imposed upon the millions of Canadians who receive assistance of one form or another from the government. For, awhile the "transfer payment" element (transfer payments are a redistri- bution of income from one person to another; i.e. family allowances, medicare, etc.) will be reduced in real terms, the size of the bureaucracy and the size of its wage bill will increase in real terms. The reduction in real terms of the size of the transfer payments was also accomplished by the shift of much of the burden of "shared -cost" programs, such as health care and post secondary education, to the provinces. These reductions, in. themselves which merely represent a shift in which level of government actual- Belgrave man dies in Wingham Hospital HAROLD JOHN HARTLIEB Harold John Hartlieb of Begrave died March 15, 1977 in Wingham and District Hospital after a long illness. He was 68 years of age. Mr. Hartlieb was born in Shakespeare, the son of the late Charles Hartlieb and Catherine Weber. He received his education in the Shakespeare area. On July 26, 2956 he married Marjorie (Heidlinger) Roth. She survives him. He was a member of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, Wingham. He is survived by two daughters, Kitty (Marjorie) Hartlieb, age 17 at home and Christine, Mrs. Gerald Beck, Belgrave.

The most important hours BY REV. C. WITTICH Jesus was on the cross from 9 o'clock on the Friday morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon before he died. Just before his death, he cried out, "My God, my God, why has Thou forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27: 45-46) We may wonder why God forsook Jesus. Up until that time on the cross, Jesus and God were one. On one occasion during Jesus' ministry he said, "I and the Father are one," (John 10:30) From the very beginning, even before creation, God and Jesus were one. They were one in nature, purpose and fellowship. That oneness continued even after Jesus came to earth and all through his ministry until his hours on the cross. "My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" The reason that God forsook Jesus on the cross was that Jesus took upon himself the sins of the world. Up -until those hours on the cross, Jesus was without sin. When Jesus took upon himself our sins, God had to separate himself from His Son because of the sin. God is holy and cannot be touched by sin. One of the biblical meanings of holiness is separation. God is holy because he is separate from our sin. When Jesus became sin for us who knew no sin (II Corin thians 5:21), God forsook him and Jesus cried, "My God, why hast. Thou forsaken me?" In those hours of being forsaken, Jesus experienced the full consequences of our sin, One of the results of sin is that it separates us from God and others. Jesus had never been separated from God but now on account of sin he entered into the ultimate depths of that separation. And in those hours of separation, he was making atonement for sin. He was giving his life a ransom for many. (Matthew 20:28) The perfect sacrifice was being made. The awful reality of sin was being encountered and the powers of hell were being overthrown. Jesus was meeting the devil on his final ground of death and hell. He was going in our place and for us. And we know that he did not remain in that state but was raised again to life on the third day. As the hymn says, "He arose a Victor from the dark domain," He was raised in fulfillment of Scripture, Centuries before, the Lord had spoken through the Psalmist saying, "Thou wilt not leave my soul to death; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption," (Psalm 8:9) The darkness of death on the Friday were followed by the light of life on the Sunday. Death and the devil had been defeated. The sins of the world had been atoned for. The day of victory had come. The hours on the cross were the working out of our salvation. Where do you stand in relation to the cross? Christ died for you. Do you believe it? If so, rejoice and give God the glory. If not, accept now by faith what God has done for you on the cross and thereby enter into the blessed relity of sins forgiven and of reconciliation with God. THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 23, 1977. PG. 7.

A fun providing St. Patrick's atmosphere was created by: green name cards showing which clan you belonged to the Flannigan's, O'Mally's, McGilli- cuddy's, O'Flynn's or Moriar- tie's; green rope which tied the wrappings of the potatoes, green licorice ropes, sticks of green Trident gum offered as prizes; cookies boasting green icing at lunch time; and almost all of the Forty Shades of Green that Johnny Cash sings about display- ed in the wearing apparel of the participants. McNamara's Band conducted by Sharon Wittich with the help of her meat -fork baton brought down the house. Pot lids were their cymbals. A vacuum cleaner tube did the work of the bassoon. A Phys. Ed. whistle made 'toots like a flute. Tubes from waxed paper made good horns. The drummer manipulated well his mallet on wooden pail. And what for the bag pipes? .Candles fastened to a blown up plastic bag filled the bill. The crowd enjoyed singing several Irish songs with Rena Watt at the piano; but when it came to singing to the rhythm of the McNamara band, they demanded an encore. After a 7.8p.m hour or Shuffleboard, when the two courts were kept busy, Murphy's Patchwork Quilt Mixer got things ' off to a brisk start.

Big budget increase brings little discussion from Separate Board - BY WILMA OKE Without comment or discussion the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic separate school board approved a 1977 budget of $4,287,512 Monday night, an increase of $299,718 or 7.5 per cent more than last year. The vote was recorded at the request of Trustee Ted Geoffrey of Zurich who voted against approval along with Trustee Vincent Young of Goderich. Voting approval of the budget which was the subject of a special meeting on March 2, which was by committee of the whole, in camera, and of an additional meeting, also committee of the whole, in camera, prior to the general meeting Monday, were: Donald Crowley, Gadshill; Michael Connolly, Kippen; Gregory Fleming, Crediton; William Kinahan, Lucknow; Ronald Marcy, Stratford; Ronald Murray, Dublin; John O'Drowsky, St. Marys; John O'Leary, Staffa; Arthur Haid, Listowel; Keith Montgomery, Winghanl. David Teahcn of Stratford was absent from the meeting. A press release, prepared prior to the meeting, was approved by ' the board and handed to the single press representative at the meeting. It indicated that salaries and fringe benefits account for 91 per cent of the increase and 69 per cent of the total budget for 1977. A breakdown of expenditures reveals increases of 10.4 per cent in instruction, 11.4 per cent in plant operation and maintenance, 6.1 per cent in transportation: while capital expenditure has been decreased by 12.1 per cent. Included in the board's revenue and expenditure is $9,080 for the Community School Development programme at St. Patrick's School, Dublin. Provincial grants and other revenue will provide 85.77 per cent or -the 1977 budget, compared to 85.14 per cent in 1976. Local taxpayers will be required to contribute 14.23 per cent to this year's budget, $610,000.

As the board meeting was adjourned at 11:20 p.m. the press rep. chided the members for holding all discussion on the budget in committee of the whole and not making any public comments for their ratepayers to know how they felt about the budget. A number of trustees gathered around the press table as Ted Geoffrey said he welcomed the opportunity to speak up, "Unfor- tunately 1 am the only trustee affected by a sizable mill rate increase," he said, "This is the reason, l am opposed to French in Grades 5 and 6 --the cost factor, and this is why I could not support the honorarium increase to the `lustees here tonight." Mr. Geoffrey said, "We have had no capital expenditure in Hay Township or Bayfield (the two municipalities he represents) since we formed this board (in 1969) and we have always been faced with a maxiumum increase due to the equalization factor being used. In future I feel there must be some different factor used." Michael Connelly, said, "As finance committee chairman, I wish to say that the rising costs in energy --heat and hydro ---are fused costs that we cannot alter. Also there are increased snow removal costs which are a must for the safety of our children. These are costs we must meet. The Anti-inflation Board has been a benefit to our system to stabilize our costs," he stated.

Marsh Worl GROWING APPETITES — The foods eaten by ducks (and many other creatures) depends largely upon their age and the different nutrient requirements imposed by the changing seasons. For example, animal foods such as snails, insect larvae and fresh- water shrimp (Gammarus limnaeus) are high in the protein required by ducklings ,to undergo rapid growth, and form a major part of their diet. As the ducklings mature and fall approaches, their diet shifts to foods such as grains, seeds of marsh plants and starchy tubers which enable them to store energy in the form of fat to prepare them for their long migratory flight and the short food supplies of the winter season, Ducks Unlimited (Canada) 200.77 their parents Mr, and Mrs. Alex ' :r::, :................ :::::..>:<::: ,.::...................

Rookies this year will be Carman MacDonald, Jim Prersiator, Murry Lyon, Keith Allen, Don Craig, Merv. Durnin and of course the mothers also, A little bit of convincing and the list may be longer. The youngest rookie playing will be Charlie Johnston. I think the boys will have to tighten up their skates for this game. This match up of talent will take place this Monday night March 28 at 7 o'clock. Be sure to attend. Atoms beat Milverton Blyth Atoms travelled to Milverton last Monday night and came home victorious.
