New jol?s must be found if Blyth economy to stay strong If Blyth wants to continue to have a healthy economy_.then it is important to work at attracting new business and industry, Huron County Planner Roman Dzus told the 25 persons who attended the final Blyth planning workship at Memorial Hall Monday night. Mr. Dzus said that if Blyth does not attract new jobs it can look forward to becoming more and more a retirement community with fewer and fewer shopping and other services available. The discussion was brought about by a question on where industrial land could be • located. That in turn brought up the doubt on the part of some in the audience that Blyth would be able to attract industry. If the commerical and industrial assessment in a town is not healthy, Mr. Dzus explained, then the main burden of taxation falls on the homeowner. Already 76 per cent of the assessment in Blyth is in residential when the accepted split should be 60 per cent residential and 40 per cent commercial and industrial. More business and industrymean lower taxes, he said, as well as creating more jobs in the service sector. Each industrial job usually creates two to four service jobs, he said.. The Blyth secondary play when it is unveiled next fall will likely contain some area of 50-100 acres designated to a future industrial area. It may be hard to find, Mr. Dzus admitted when questioned on the Carpet scraps fuel fire Blyth firemen quickly extinguished a fire at. the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Aitken, Queen Street Blyth on Saturday morning. The fire took place when some carpet scraps were thrown in a wood space heater and apparently started a fire in the stove pipes. The ceiling of the- room was damaged and some other damage resulted. Mrs. Aitken said she could ' not really estimate the extend of the damage as yet. subject by Jim Howson. The ideal site would be high and dry separated from residential areas close by and with good access to road and rail transportation with 50-100 acres available in one block. To get an arca large enough, Mr. Dzus said, it might be necessary to extend the industrial area outside the village, if it is possible to come to any agreement with one of the 2 Administrators become principals in education cutback . The Huron County Board of Education took an unprecedented step last week when it declared two major administrative postions redundant and moved the personnel back into the education field. Director of Education John Cochrance and board chairman Herb Turkheim announced Monday that one superintendant's job and the assistant to the administrator's job were no more and the men, Ralph Smith and Gord Phillips, would be taking over positions as principals. Smith will take over as principal of Robertson Memorial Public School in Goerich in September and Phillips will take over as principal of Central Huron Secondary: School in Clinton. The moves were made in conjunction with the retirements of the two principals now at the schools, Garnet Harland of Robertson and Robert Homuth of Clinton. The move was made to cut spending in education in Huron to bring personnel number in line with declining enrolment in the county schools and is viewed as necessity by the board. Cochrane explained the enrolment in elementary schools has been declining in the past few years meaning the Huron Board has had its funds from the province cut. The ministry of education offers grants to boards in the province based on a per capita ration and the declining number of school children reduces that figure annually. "The board does not look at the change as a demotion but as a fact made necessary by a tight budget," said Cochrane. neighbouring municipalities. The industrial park designation, he said, did not ,really mean anything more than indicating where any industry wanting to locate in Blyth would be situated. The industry would then approach the owner of the land and try to buy it and if this was done, the village would then have to commit itself to servicing the land, probably on a cost-sharing basis. Under questioning Mr. Dzus said there was little chance that Blyth would get any large industries and that comment at the previous workshops showed that people didn't want any industry thatwas so large it would be disruptive. There was however, he said, a chance of getting smaller industries employeing 10 or more employees, especially those in agriculture related industries. - :' Underlining the stagnating Blyth econ- omy Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh pointed out that in the past three years 29 new houses have been built in Blyth but population has actually dropped by 19. A full 25 per cent of homes in Blyth have only one person living in them, he said. Mrs. Elizabeth Battye pointed out that school enrollment had dropped drastically in the past few years. Mr. Dzus said the village had already lost its high school and could lose its public school too if the enrollment continued to decline, If one of the existing industries in Blyth went out of business for any reason, he said, it could be the death blow for the community. A transfusion of new economic blood is needed, if Blyth is to remain healthy, he said. The subject of industry took up much of the evening. This was the final of four planning workships all of which were poorly attended. Mr. Dzus said he and members of village council were disappo- inted at the turnout for the meetings though he said they were grateful_ for the good ideas supplied by those who did take part. He explained that it would now take two to three months to design the plan for Blyth and that a further set of meetings will be held this fall to discuss the plan. He urged those present to bring out their friends and neighbours to those meetings. Without more participation, he said, there isn't much hope of coming up with a good plan for the village. Close call for students '1'here were some anxious moments for Mrs. Elizabeth Battye on Sunday when word was first received in Canada of the crash of two jumbo jets in the Canary Islands. A neighbour told her of the crash and her first thought was of her son Mark who with Sandy Marshall of Blyth and 27 other students from Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton had been on a winterbreak holiday in the Canary Islands. Mrs. Battye rushed to the telephone and called the Toronto airport but learned to her relief that the plane carrying the students had left before the crash and was well on the way home. The students did have some graphic memories of the whole affair, however, because they were in the Las Palmas airport when the bomb, planted by the separatist group in the islands, went off. They were close enough to hear the bang and see the smoke. They had been in the bombed area;only minutes earlier. It was because of the bombing and further threats of bombing that the two jumbos were diverted to airport where in confusion, they crashed together on a foggy runway killing 575 people. There were other local people in the Canary Islands on holiday for the winter break too. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Charter and Mrs. and Mrs. Gordon Carter of R. R. 3, Blyth returned home Saturday, the day before the big crash. PG. 2. THE KITH STANDARD/MARCH 30, 1977. 'Tis Show Biz Juno awards BY VONNI LEE From the timeAme.dij David Steinberg came on stage with "Good Evening, Fellow Nobud- les", he had the audience at least thinking Canadian. He was referring to pre -presentation pub- licity that said that the Juno Awards were presented each year to "Nobudies", a fact which may 'or may not be true, but at least they are Canadians and every- body had to be a nobody at one time or another! Steinberg himself is not exactly the most famous person in the world, though he is a good comedian and Canada can be proud of him. He isn't exactly the host for this type of show, however, All awards shows are only as good as their hosts; if the host drags his britches, chances are the show will be one drag too. And at times the Juno presenta- tions dragged badly. reward tops in Canadian music There were boo-boos - in the first few seconds, another when Hagood Hardy made some remark about his co -presenter's dress why: really she was decked out in pants. But in an unrehearsed show, these are inevitable. The big winner, of course, was Patsy Gallant who tearfully admitted she "wasn't ready" for this kind of success, almost wishing that Anne Murray had won again. She was named female vocalist of the year, primarily for her recording of "From L.A. to New York". Burton Cummings was the male vocalist of the year. The best selling album was Andre Gagnon's "Neiges" and the best selling single was "Roxy Roller" by Sweeney Todd. "Heart" was named the group of the year. Gordon Lightfoot who must have enough Junos now to start his own businesq, was named folksinger of the year, defeating Stompin' Tom Connors, Dan Hill, Murray McLauchlan and Valdy. He was,also named composer of the year for "The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzger- ald". Among those he defeated in that category was Hagood Hardy whose "Homecoming" didn't make it there but did earn him the title of instrumentalist of the year. He defeated Andre Gagnon and our own Al Cherny in that class, among others. New artists honored were Colleen Peterson, Burton Cum- mings and the T.H.P. Orchestra. And in the country music cateRory, Murray McLauchlan defeated Wilf Carter, Stompin' Tom Connors, R. Harlan Smith and Ted Wesley; and the little gal from out west, Carroll Baker won over Marilyn Jones, Anne Mur- ray, Chris Nielsen and Miss Peterson. The Good Bros. were named the country group of the year, defeating, among others, the Carleton Showband and the Mercy Brothers. Our Canadian music stars may never make it to international status, But you have to admit it's nice that we can honor them in a show that is for Canadians and by Canadians, And you have to give credit to these kids who stay in Canada and struggle, against immeasurable obstacles, to make a name for themselves in a show business world geared toward Hollywood. The Junos have a place here - and so do our talented performers. Unfortunat- ely, we are sometimes slow getting the message and have to be told by someone else that they are truly stars before we can see it ourselves.

Telephone 523;9646: Not enough thought for future A conversation the other day concerned the fact that very few people in Blyth seem interested or capable of looking at the overall picture in the community. That observation was brought to light by the recent fiasco called the Blyth planning workshops which were supposed to give people of the community a chance to discuss where the village should be headed. Attendance was pathetic and participation even from those who were there was not very enthusiastic. The majority of people who were at the meetings were there only to see how the plan would affect them personally, not what it would mean to the whole community. Most people cannot see beyond their own personal interest to the good of the overall community. That kind of shortsightedness is manifested in other ways such as the anaemic state of the Blyth Board of Trade where most businessmen are so tied up in their own short term business they can't see that only by building a strong community can they expect longterm success. That kind of shortsightedness led to the opposition a quarter century ago to the Blyth water system and to much of the more ill-informed of the present criticism on the sewer issue. Blyth has shown itself a community with a lot of spirit when there is someone out front to lead the way, such as in the recent community centre project, when even people who will never use the arena complex donated money. But there seems to be a real flaw in the personality of the community when it comes to looking beyond today and beyond our own little world to the big world that faces the whole community tomorrow. It's only the big guys who pollute There's a series of ads on the television that tells non-smokers to "mind very much if they smoke." I doubt that few non-smokers take that advice, even if they should. How many df us will say no when someone asks "Do you mind if I smoke?" Most of us trying to be agreeable will go along. This coalescence to personal pollutidn is truly amazing in light of the way we treat industries that pollute. Imagine what we would say if a big indu4try moved into the neighbourhood and asked politely "Do you mind if we smoke up the place?" They'd soon get an answer all right. Yet is the pollution from the factory any worse than the smoke being blown into your face by a nearby smoker? How about water pollution? We are all horrified that large industries like Reid Paper company seem to get away with pollution of lakes and rivers. Yet how many of us dump pollutants into a river ourselves: just a little detergent, we say as we pour soapy water we just washed the car with down a storm sewer. It isn't enough to do any harm. Or how about those who know their septic tank system isn't working properly but pass it off because "it's just a little bit of sewage" even if it does get into the river. We seldom think that if everyone else put their "little bit" into the water too, the water would be so polluted that companies like Reid wouldn't have any complaints. If a garbage truck dumped a load of loose papers, glass bottles and tin cans on the edge of Highway 4, we'd scream bloody murder. Yet thousands of us throw paper scraps, pop bottles or beer cans in the ditches every day and .think nothing of it. Charity, someone once said, begins at home. Perhaps the same thing should be said about pollution, and its cleanup. Hill, Miller: good talents wasted? The blockbuster announcement last week that the New Democratic Party of Ontario had managed to corral the leaders -of the two major farm organizations in Ontario seems a good deal for the party. The move to get Gordon Hill former Ontario Federation of Agriculture President and Walter Miller of the National Farmers Union will give the N.D.P. instant credibility in the rural areas of the. province. Lord knows they need it. It's been downright embarassing in recent years to attend all candiatesnights and hear the stumble -bum representatives of the party on agricultural topics. Most of them gave the impression they didn't know a cow from a steer. At least in Hill and Miller the N.D.P. won't have to be embarrassed anymore. One wonders, however, if there will be any other real benefit from the move. It would seem on the surface that the comment of Murray Gaunt was a true one; that the move will do more to the N.D.P. than Hill or Miller. The N.D.P. is so far behind in the ridings they are going to run for that it appears there's little chance for them to win, at least not in the next election whenever it comes. On top of that, both men are being parachuted into ridings that are not their own. The big question is, can they translate the popularity they gained in their own organizations into votes. If it was only a matter of a few hundred votes to be switched they might succeed. But their party finished third in each riding by several thousand votes. The betting is they just can't convince enough Liberals and Conservatives who used to support them in their organizations, to switch to the N.D.P. It's too bad. We don't know much about Miller, but Hill could contribute a lot. He may just have killed his future, however. •r • f ' »h`0 , M , M:� • ..•w• `• -7'Hvo' ' ;r,;4 44' M .

Either, he said, you promote growth in the community and create more jobs to attract more young people to the community which will mean more business started to serve people and keep those we have alive, or, you sit back and wait for the town to wither away. What happens, he asked when the people now running businesses on main street want to retire; when their children decide there is no future in the business so move away to the city rather than take over the family business; when no potent- ial buyers can be found because no one wants all the work involved without proper compen- sation? Many people listening to him were sceptical. But can we really attract industry, they asked? Can we really afford to build new houses, new apartments? No, Dzus said, there is no guarantee that Blyth can attract industry or new business. One thing is certain though, he pointed out: if an attempt isn't made to attract' new business, nothing will be done. The case was nicely stated. Blyth is slowly but surely slipping into the economic stagna- tion. More and more homes are now occupied by retired people, often with only one person in a -home. The number of farm units in the surrounding area continues to diminish. All that means fewer people to buy food, fewer people to buy clothes, fewer people to Go ahead or back; the choice is yours buy hardware or furniture or insurance, fewer people to buy newspapers. It means that with increasing costs, it becomes harder and harder for a village of this size to support the present amount of businesses, let alone attract new ones. One by one the businesses close and each one that closes makes it that much harder for the remaining ones to continue. More and more people have to go out of town to shop, good weather and bad. The more people go out of town to shop, the more the local businesses wither up and die. It's like a snowball building and building as it rolls downhill. This newspaper, for instance, is dependent on the health and vigor of the downtown business section. Blyth is at a critical point as far as the Standard goes. Just take a look at how many of the downtown businesses are adver- tising in this week's paper and take a look at the size of the ads of those who do. This kind of trend is what has seen many towns the size of Blyth lose their newspapers. But at the same time as it is easy to see the bad side, it's also easy to foresee a rosey future for Blyth. We've got so many things going for us. We've got first off, a rich and prosperous farming area and Blyth's location just about at the centre of Huron county gives it the geographical advantage to take advantage of the situation. We have two of the most famous shopping facilities in Ontario here that attracts thou- sands of customers a year, customers who are in the mood to buy and would likely buy from .other stores and services in town if more effort was made to attract them. We've got the Summer Festival which is establishing a growing reputation for professional theat- re and attracting more and more people each summer to the village. The Festival and the Mills provide a tourism potential which along with the potential of attracting more of the farm service business gives Blyth excellent potential for growth. But, it takes a lot of work to turn that potential into reality. To take advantage of the farm business potential we need more and better services. To take advantage of the tourist accomod- ation. We can sit back and sigh and moan about how nice it would be to have these, or we can go out and actively try to recruit people to provide these services. If we need, for example, a welding shop to serve farmers, then let's go out and advertise that the opportunity is here for such a business. If we think we need tourist accomodation, let's get. going and try to get some camping facilities or tourist guest homes or a motel. We may succeed in some things, we may fail in others. But one thing's for sure, our chances of success are a lot better if we try than if we sit back and do nothing. The future of this town is in our own hands. If we get off our butts and do something, we'll go ahead. If we sit back and bitch and moan, there just isn't any future. BELGRAVE NEWS Ruraau editor: MRS.

Cecil Wittich chose as his text, Acts 10:1-2, 34-36, and titled his sermon: "Good News for Everyone", on Sunday morning, March 27, Greeting worshippers in the Narthex at Blyth United Church were Fred Howson and Gordon Caldwell. Ushers were Ray Griffiths, Elmer Sanderson and George From the minister's study The .burning question BY REV. CECIL WITTICH The story of Cornelius in Acts 10 - 11:18 is one of the most significant teachings in the Bible concerning Christians witnessing and the mission of the Church. Cornelius appears to be an ideal sort of person. He is an officer in the Roman army and in charge of a company of men. As an officer, he has qualities of leadership and bravery. He is also a religious person. The story tells us that he was a "devout man who, feared God," Cornelius was a Gentile who had given up the worship of the various gods of the Gentile world and had adopted the Jewish understanding of God. The account also says that he "feared God with all his household", This suggests that Cornelius must have been able to command the respect of his family and servants in that they were led to fear God as well. From the story, we learn too that he "gave alms liberally to the people". He was a generous man who shared his money and possession with the poor. He was also not only a worshipper of God but he "prayed constantly to God". He no doubt prayed the usual three times a day which was customary of the Jewish religion: but besides that, he must have spent much time in prayer. We also learn that he was an "upright" sort of person, meaning that he was honest and had integrity. When we consider all these characteristics of Cornelius's life, we are led to believe that he had everything in a religious, moreal and personal sense but that is not the case. Cornelius was still lacking three of the most necessary elements in our Christian life and:that is faith in Christ, forgiveness of sin and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. According to our story, Peter was led to the house of Cornelius. where he made known the message of Christ through which Cornelius and his household believe and received the forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit. But prior to the arrival of Peter, Cornelius had been directed by an angel to send for Peter who would "declare to him a message by which he would be saved". Up to this point, Cornelius had not ye been saved ` from his sins even though he had many good qualiti in is life. The I ssop that we have learned from this story is that, no matter how go people may seem to be, their goodness cannot save them All our res ctability, generosity and prayers will not save us. We are saves ey by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. As Peter said to Cornelius,„ He (Christ) is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead”. Our task as Christian and the Church is to make hi:': known to everyone as Savior and Lord. What a calling and what a challenge! Praise God for His great salvation so full and free!. Spider plant now popular The spider plant, native to the tropics, is becoming very popular in Ontario homes as a hanging basket plant. This plant, which is easy to Milk cheaper than coffee It's unbelievable • but true! On a per ounce basis, it costs less to drink milk than it does to drink coffee. Take one pound of " private label, ground coffee. It now costs about $3.60 a pound and makes 50 to 60 cups. Each cup of coffee costs you 6 to 7.2 cents per 6 -ounce cup. That's just for coffee, Sugar and cream are extra. Take a three quart returnable jug of two per cent milk. That's 120 ounces of milk. It costs S1.29. That's a little over one cent an ounce. Six ounces of milk would then cost you slightly over six cents. It's unbelievable, but true! You can drink milk, get all that food value and on a per ounce basis it costs less than for a cup of coffee. Have you had your milk today? • Hubbard.

Easter Thank Offering Service will be held this Sunday evening, April 3, at 8 p.m. Everyone is invited. Computer may help analyse cost of land grow, has long lined dark ,green leaves with a white band down the centre. Although this type of spider plant is the most popular, a variety with all -green leaves is also available. One of the most characteristic features of. this plant is the plantlet, or miniature plant, which forms at the end of long runners. T.J. Blom, extension horticult- urist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, says research has shown that these runners need 12 uninterrupted hours of darkness to grow. He suggests putting the plant in a dark room or closet 12 hours a day for about three weeks to get rapid rate of runner growth. To propogate the plantlet, anchor the miniature plant on the top of the soil or put it in water. Once the plant has developed its own root system, the runner to the main plant can be cut. Spider plants grow well in east or west windows where they can get indirect or filtered sunlight. This plant requirescool to moderate temperatures and evenly moist soil in spring and summer. A computer may be able to help you decide whether to buy, sell or keep your farm. At Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, a new program called Land Pricing Analysis is offering farmers computer assistance to help make such critical decisions. R.W. Ross, an agricultural economist and head of the program, says the computer helps the farmer analyze all the variables before buying or selling. "There are two things the farmer wants to know", says Mr. Ross. "He wants to know whether the purchase is a good investment and whether he can afford it." The computer is helpful because it highlights 11 points which should be considered. For example, it analyzes prices of recent sales, tax rates, net income, interest rates, land inflation and mortgage costs. But before the computer can give an analysis, the farmer must provide it with accurate information. If he does, the computer will tell the Ontario cucumbers now available .Community Centre. Tickets are $5.00 per couple for players and $6.00 per couple for non -players. farmer what price he can afford to pay for the land. It will take about five minutes. "This program can be useful as an investment tool," says Mr. Ross. "However, it cannot make the final decision for the farmer." The program has been oper- ating for three months and is available to any farmer seriously considering land purchase or sale. For more information contact R.W. Ross, Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology, Ridgetown. Ontarin. Flood plain development restricted Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority has received approval from the Ontario Government to carry out demolition and landscaping of dwelling sites acquired in the Turnberry floodplain. An Ontario grant of $54,000 over a four-year period will, according to Natural Resources Minister Frank S. Miller, permit the Authority to proceed with the Turnberry floodplain project which includes long-term acquisition of floodplain properties. The project area is situated along the Maitland River, immediately west of Wingham, and comprise§ some 100 acres including a number of dwellings. As these dwellings are acquired, they will be demolished and the sites landscaped. The area has a long history of flooding and the most recent floods in April and August, 1975, and in March of last year, caused substantial damage. The long English cucumbers you see in food stores these days come from Ontario. They are grown in greenhouses during the winter months. These cucumbers are a good buy. There is no waste because these cucumbers do not have to be peeled. The skin is very tender.

Between May and October it was calculated that the offence of "Following Too Close" has been directly or indirectly involved in 80 per cent of all reported collisions. "How is your following distance?" The Highway Traffic Act reads: Section 105 (1) The driver or operator of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent having due regard for the speed of such vehicle and the traffic on and the conditions of the highway, For trucks (2) The driver or operator of a commercial motor vehicle when driving on a highway outside of a city, town or village shall not follow within 200 feet of another commercial motor vehicle, but this shall not be construed to prevent one commercial motor vehicle over- taking and passing another such vehicle. Something I think all drivers should keep in mind in order to reduce your chances of being involved in this type of collision is to ask youself "If that vehicle ahead stops, will 1 be able to stop in time or will I become part of his trunk equipment?" Always drive defensively and be prepared for the unexpected. The Safety League of Ontario estimates that if you leave a minimum of one car length or 20 feet for every 10 MPH while following another vehicle on a highway you should be reason- ably safe. (A Highway is any road used by the public). For those truckers who like to follow within the 200 foot legal following distance, beware. If that truck ahead stops suddenly you may be driving a coffin. The fine for this offence in Huron County is a minimum of $28. and maximum $103, and a demerit point total of four. If you are charged with "Careless Driving" the fine is $108, minimum fine and six demerit points. This section generally fits a rear end collision as the section reds as follows: Section 83 Every person is guilty of the offence of driving care- lessly who drives a vehicle on a highway without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway and on summary conviction is liable to a fine of not less than $100. and not more than $500, or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, and in addition his licence or permit may be suspended for a period of not more than two years. Check your following distance and speed. Watch out for that careless driver. Drive defensively, Don't become a statistic. Any questions or suggested topics should be forwarded to Prov. Const. R.W.

Easter Hams, Fresh & Frozen Turkeys BlythMeat Market 523-4551 Blyth BY BILL SMILEY There's nothing more frustrat- ing than being loved for all the wrong reasons. This has been happening to me all my life. My- wife fell in love with me because I was the first live one she'd met in three years at university. I was just home from overseas, cocky as a young black bass. Until then, the only college men she'd met were flat -foots or four -eyes, whose idea of a hot date was to ask her out, dutch -treat, for a coffee, and breathe heavily over their own passion for Wordsworth's poetry. She was a good, sweet girl who believed in God, university regulations, and the sanctity of Great Writers, I soon cured her of that. 1 introduced her into a small society of skeptics and slumgullions like myself, who were more interested in beer than Browning, sex than saintliness. We didn't want to go to college; we wanted to go to Mexico. We didn't want to marry and have children and grow old together; we wanted to have 18 illicit affairs and die young of sheer depravity. It was all a facade, of course, but she was fascinated, And for the next 30 years, I had to continue the pretence that I was a dashing rake instead of a dull hoe. It's been hard. Underneath, I'm a cowardly conformist, not a All in the name of .love revolutionary romantic; a solid free -enterpriser, not an idealistic socialist. I'm not a leader; I'm a follower, even though sometimes I appear to be going sideways or backwards. Final blow came the other day when she caught me trying to figure out how much pension I'd get if I retire in three years. It sank in at last that she had married, not the Scarlet Pimper- nel, but Elmer Fudd. , Same thing with my kids. They seemed to love me, but for all the wrong reasons. When I was a weekly editor, they thought I was the most important man in town. Don't know where they got the idea. They never saw me cringing behind the receiver when some old lady had called me up and was wiping me out over the phone because I'd either left one pall bearer out, or put in one too many, in the write-up of her old man's funeral. The kids thought I was a great father because I took them on the Ferris wheel and roller coaster when they were little, They didn't realize I was a quivering jelly inside. From their bedtime stories, they knew I had won the war practically single-handed, but thought I was just a peace -maker when I backed up smartly in any argument with their mother. Same story all over again with my colleagues, Love me for all the wrong reasons, They seem to think that just because I'm an outstanding shuffleboard player, a superb Russian billiards shot, an extraordinary acute poker player, a snappy dresser who never wears the same shirt more than three days in a row, and a bon vivant who can get through the cafeteria's shepherd's pie 'with the best of them, I should be an object of adoration, if not veneration. They don't see beneath that dazzling surface at all. They utterly fail to recognize the gentleness, the sweetness, the academic brilliance, and the humility that makeup the real me. I have the same trouble with my students, I won't say they worship me. I won't go that far. But it's not unusual to walk into my classroom and find candles burning in front of the portrait one of our art , teachers has painted of me. Once again, it's for the wrong reasons, They love me because they think 1 love teaching, love teenagers, tell sparkling jokes, and readily buy their raffle tickets, In fact, the only reason I teach is the long summer holiday; teenagers are difficult to love, even your own; not one of my jokes is less than eight years old;' and 1 buy their blasted tickets HeIp Your ART FUN)!_. THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 30, 1977. PC. 9. because 1 don't want my tires slashed, Why don't they love me for my unquenchable optimism: that some day 1'11 hit three good blows in a row on the golf course; that some day I'll spend most of the time on the trail upright on my skis, rather than down right on my fanny? Yes, It's disconcerting to be constantly loved for the wrong reasons. That's why Quebec is so diconcerted these days, Sudden- ly, millions of Canadians, who never gave her a look or a thought before, love La Belle Province. But do they love her for the right reason? Do they love her because she is toujours gat, aussi charmante, full of elan, and a hell of a gourmet cook? Nope. Do they love her because she is much more bilingual than the rest of us, and because she is bursting with creativity? Nope. They love her because the sulky bad-tempered magnificently -en- dowed daughter threatens to leave home, with her dowry under her arm. After years of being loved for all the wrong reasons, I know just how you feel, Rene Levesque. Suits with Vests ARE ALL THE GO FOR SPRING. WE HAVE A NICE SELECTION TO CHOOSE FROM IN SIZES 36 TO 46.

This is what Ontario is doing to help you. Immunization protects against, polio, diphtheria, measles, rubella (German measles), whooping cough, mumps and tetanus. Although often considered to be "childhood diseases," they are anything but minor- measles, for instance, can lead to encephalitis (brain disease), a cause of retardation. —� Here in Ontario, the Ministry of Health provides the vaccines and your Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) pays a fee to the physician for administering them. But the responsibility for immunization — for making sure your children are protected—is still up to you. Have your children immunized by your family physician. Or, for school age children, use school immunization programs provided by Health Units. Immunization is quick and convenient -vaccines against several diseases are often combined. And the only way to control these diseases is to immunize as many people as possible. Your Ontario Government is doing its share— by providing vaccines and paying for immunization through OHIP • era Do your share— make sure your children are immunized. Consult your family physician, public health nurse or local medical officer of health. A free booklet, "Immunization is your responsibility," is available with a chart showing what diseases your children should be immunized against, and at what ages.

Guests on the .weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Haggitt Letter to the editor Dear Mr. Editors The enclosed poem was found while "house-cleaning" a desk drawer, since the recent fire in the general store in Belgrave. It deals with a fire in Belgrave that happened in the "heart of the depression", in the early 30's. The fire burned out the Hardware and Feed store, owned by Robert McKenzie. It spread to the Hotel next door, and for a time looked like it would perhaps spread to other buildings and burn out the heart of the business section of Belgrave. The poem was copied word for word from a clipping from a local newspaper of the Era. The identity of the paper is not known, as is the identity of the original author, who signed a Pen -name "RED CLOVER". However the poems rings loud and clear, of the struggle of mutual help by "THE BUCKET BRIGADE" and of FIREMEN, in their desperate, and in some cases amusing, fight to successfully contain the fire. Because of the depression, the struggle to save the business section of Belgrave, was perhaps fought with the desperate energy of those who knew that they could not afford to lose those services from their community during hard times. Perhaps you could find space to reprint this poem on the page in your paper, featuring Belgrave area news. There should be many who would enjoy it's re -print. Thank you, "Remembering" THE BELGRAVE FIRE T'was the ninth day of March and a bitter cold day. When a bad fire broke out down in Belgrave they say. The clock just struck six when the fire alarm rang. Causing people to gather in ' . fire fighting gang. Some came with long ladders while others brought pails. To carry the water and cool off the nails. They pumped the old pump how the water did flow. It was icy all over and we had to go slow. We called the Blyth Firemen who came at top' speed. And brought their equipment to meet every need. We also called Wingham but to our despair, A car load of Firemen was all we got there. Men came from all corners they came near and far. And never once thought of the expense of their car. They seemed really willing to do what they could. To help out a neighbour as good fellows would. They climbed up the ladder,,: and wet the roof top. Chopped away the south cornish to make the fire stop. They wet all the windows in spite of the heat. As dandy fire-fighters they cannot be beat. They emptied the store, the hotel and the bank. Of all their contents and drained the gas tank. They carried out sugar, 'and flour and cigars. Claw hammers and pliers and tires for Ford cars. Ackey Bruce pumped away he made little noise, He pumped to the tune of the Protestant Boys. Billy Cole caught the pails he got hit ori the cheek. He's been wearing "court plaster" for over a week. Rev. Grant is a hero a man you can't tire. Andknowsw to fight being a 7reachet' ho g t fire. ,Some good work was. done by Charles, Herb and Sandy. In saving the house that used to sell Brandy. The hotel stairs was slippery and covered with ice, Which when carrying water was not very nice. Alex Manning he fell like a thousand of brick. Harry Shane slid down stairs with a big feather tick. A big box in the hall -way we though should go down, For it looked like the fire would burn all the town. I helped with the box till 1 near died with laughter, Dave Armstrong went head first and the box it slid after. Geo. Fowler I'll mention he sure done his part, And lucky the lady who gains his strong heart. • He worked in the attic where smoke was so thick, 1 wonder he and Norrn, Keating were not both real sick, Now I can't name them all but can say they worked good. And put out the fire as Fire-fighters should. Let's hope that a fire like this won't repeat, Neither out in the suburbs or on the main street. Now to each individual I mean every one. Except of our thanks for the good work you done. Now I'm going to close but this 1 will say, We want no more fires Here for many a day. "RED CLOVER" were their grandsons, Grey and Richard of Bramalea and Mr. and Mrs. Al Skinulis of Nobleton, Mrs. Dorothy Grange arrived home last weekend from a holiday spent in Florida.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 30, 1977► Future �f 2 historic, mills to be considered by M.V.C.A. The Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority finds itself on the horns of a serious dilemma. At the centre of the problem are two historically significant mills. One stands in Gorrie on the bank of the North Maitland River while the other forms the key focal point in a traditional scene on the bank of the Middle Maitland River in the Village of Brussels, In the past the Gorrie Kill was in full scale, complete flouring mill while the Logan Mill in Brussels was a gristing operation. Both of these buildings, the land immediately around them and two dam sites are owned by the Conservation Authority. The Authority is experiencing some difficulty in reaching a decision as to what useful purpose these buildings could be put to in their repective communities. Both buildings are old and time has been instrumental in damaging their exteriors. Recently, it has come to the attention of the Authority that crucial breaking point in the decay process is rapidly approaching. Until recently the decay had not progressed to the point where the foundation or main structural members of the mills were in danger of serious deterioration, This is no longer true, The Gorrie mill was built entirely of wood and with a minor exception, the addition of a steel, roof to the shed enclosing the main drive mechanism, no effort has been made to preserve the exterior from the ravages of the weather since its joint purchase by the Authority and the Gorrie Community Club in 1962. For 120 years this stately landmark has shed the rain and wind and snow admirably well. its cedar shingle roof and pine, ship -lap siding have done their job, But now water has begun to find its way through this weakened armor and the timbers and roof rafters have begun to deteriorate at an increasing rate as a result of repeated wetting and drying, heating and freezing. The present Brussels or Logan Kill, as it is more commonly known by the local population is made primarily of cement, Since its purchase by the Authority in 1972 a new steel roof has been installed. The initial reaction of a person who views the mill for the first time is that of confidence in its strength and obvious durabil- ity arising from the use of concrete. However, upon closer examination you will discover that there exists a drainage problem along the west foundation wall which is resulting in seepage of water through the stone wall. The wall, as a result, is buckling and action to erradicate this problem should be undertaken as soon as possible to stabilize the situation, In addition to the installation of a new roof, the Authority has been responsible for removal of a shed at the South end of the mill which housed a steam engine, used during periods of low water levels. The main water driven mechanism including the two turbines, shafts and crown gears have been removed from their place of operation. One turbine was donated to the Huron County Pioneer Museum while the other remains at the mill forpossible future use. As well, the original awning has been removed and a new one constructed in its place in 1976. All of , these repairs were carried out in the absence of detailed plans for restoration or renovation and all required a miniumum of expense beyond the cost of labour. Now, the Authority finds itself in a position where future work on both the mills should not be carried out without first having a clear picture of exactly what use can or should be made of these two historic structures. Slowly, piece by piece, the Authority has been pulling together the accurate information concerning the details of the history wrapped up in these buildings as well as the technical date pertaining to the exact state of repair of the the two structures and their contents. Maitland Engineering Services of Wing - ham have been assigned the latter task while a number of Authority employees both past and present have endeavoured to pull together a comprehensive and detailed history of each mill. A great deal of work remains to be accomplished if the mills are to be preserved for the enjoyment of . their home communityls citizens and their descendants, We return now to the crux of the Authority's dilemma. What useful purpose can these mills fulfill? In order to finance future restoration work the Authority will find it necessary to secure funding in the form of grants from a number of potential sources. The Ontario Heritage Foundation and Wintario Grants program are the principal suppliers of grants for restoration of historically significant pieces of architecture. Neither of these sources will provide the financial resource however until they know exactly the detailed plans for restoration and future use. They must also be convinced that the building(s) in question are highly significant from a historical and an architect- tural perspective. In short, what the Authority needs is a complete feasability study. There are two ways to appraoch the preparation and implemen- tation of such .a study. The first involves the hiring of a qualified consultant who prepares a plan based on his own ideas garnered from past experience and study. Such a plan may be highly subjective in nature, The plan is. then implemented either with or without consulting the local residents, If counsultation is held, the chances of locally *pried changes to the study resulting may be slight due to the fact that good deal of time and energy have been invested by the consultant. The second method places a significant emphasis on the ideas and the enthusiasm 'of the residents of the local municipal- ities. They are encouraged to contri- bute suggestions for possible -uses and most importantly to make evident their desire to have restoration work take place, West Wawanosh discusses conservation program Bob Pegg, Conservation Officer with the Ministry of Natural Resources, Wingham, spoke to West Wawanosh township Coun- cil regarding the Ministry's conservation program in this area, and answered questions, posed by those present, about deer, foxes and wolves. Mr. Pegg informed Council that he was available to answer questions or assist residents in whatever way he could. The Dungannon lights were discussed again and the Clerk was directed to write Ontario Hydro authorizing them to make the bi-annual change of bulbs in the village lights. Mr. and Mrs. John Siecker, of St. Helen, approached Council regarding the problems they have encountered in meeting payments on the mercury vapour light at the main corner of the village. Council expressed their aware- ness of the problem and advised the Sieckers to approach the village residents to ascertain their feelings on cost-sharing of the light, or having it turned off. Council advised that it is unable to take over payment of the light. Tenders received for the construction of the Redmond Municipal Drain were opened and considered. Motion by Council- lors Foran that the Township of West Wawanosh accept the tender of Lloyd Collins, R.R.3, Goderich, for the construction of the Redmond Municipal Drain, at $9,800.00 carried. Engineer, J.A. McBride, was in attendance, and informed Council he would draw up the contract for signatures.

Without an indication of strong support for the restoration of the Mill from the residents of Howick Township and for the Logan Mill from the residents of Brussels and Grey and Morris Townships, there is a greatly reduced chance of any extensive improvements being made to either mill. In fact, if no local support either verbal or, financial is received it is conceivable that Authority mem- bers will recommend the demol- ition of one or both of these building. Such an action becomes necessary as decay makes the buildings unsafe. The Authority has decided to pursue the latter course and has placed responsibility for collec- tion of imput from local citizens upon the staff. Any and all reasonable, suggestions regarding what roles the two mills might play in the future of their respective communities will be considered in the planning efforts of the Authority. We need your ideas and help. To facilitate the collection of this information, the two public meeting are being planned to take place in April, 1977. The first meeting on April 14th will take place in the basement of the Brussels Library. The second one will be held on April 21 at' ttth Howick community centre. Both meetings will be well advertized in advance. They will be attended by Authority members and staff. At these times briefs or other verbal presentations may be made and will be grat ally received. In the interim comments may be forwarded in writing to the Authority office in Wroxeter, The information received thr- ough' this public participation. program will be, it is hoped, " extremely valuable to the Author- ity and, in turn, to the two communities involved. Active participation by a concerned public will do much'to ensure that these fine examples of our heritage are preserved and used for many generations to come. Readers will be hearing more about these two mills over the course of the next couple of months. In an effort to stimulate some thought, the Authority, through the newsi media, will be suggesting a number of possible uses for the mills, As well, the past history of the mills will be presented in summary form to illustrate their significance in colourful history of Gorrie and Brussels and their sur -rounding areas. The Authority is looking forward to a worthwhile exchange of information and ideas. TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO 1;IJ1`J SYNDICATE Michael with the gorgeous smile has just turned three. Black and white in descent, he has big brown eyes, black curly hair and dimpled cheeks. He is in excellent h alth but his development is generally below his age level, drpecially in relations with people and in language. The same psychologist has tested Michael four times and each time found him far behind. He noted remarkable improvement in the last testing but is not prepared to forecast how far Michael will go in catching up with his age group. Michael attends a nursery school for slow learners where he is the most advanced in his class. From being alqof and unresponsive he has become much happier and easier to get along with though he still has temper tantrums. He makes friends with children fairly readily but takes longer with adults. Michael needs a mother and father who will give him much love and understanding and will be happy to help him develop at his own pace. To inquire about adopting Michael, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. In your letter tell something of your present family and your way of life. For general adoption, contact your local Children's Aid Society. NEEDS UNDERSTANDING THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 30, 1977.

N/WI 0 b.l-GNI CIDP Scores Major Coup The Ontario New Democratic Party scored a major coup March 22 when it announced that two top farm industry spokesmen will carry the party's banner in the next provincial, election. Both Gordon Hill, past presi- dent of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and Walter Miller, past president of the National Farmers Union will run in rural ridings for the N.D.P. Neither, however, will be running in his home territory. IHill, who would have had to face Liberal agriculture critic Jack Riddell if he had run in the Huron -Middlesex riding where his Varna home is located, will instead challenge Bob Eaton in Middlesex riding (once, of course he gets the N.D.P. nomination. He only joined the party on the weekend.) Riddell won by a landslide in the last election. Eaton barely squeaked out a 800 -vote victory over Liberal Don Nisbet with the NDP a distant third. Miller will seek nomination and election in the riding of Grey against freshman Liberal Bob McKessock who won the riding in a close race from Conservative I veteran Eric Winkler last elec- tion. Miller's home riding is firmly held by Liberal Eddie Sargant. The Grey results last time had the N.D.P. 9000 votes back of the winner. While even opposition party spokesmen admitted that the announcement of the candidacy of the two men will give instant credibility to the N.D.P. in rural areas across the province, most observers also felt that the position of the N.D.P. is so weak in both ridings that both men face an up -hill fight, BROWNIE'S DRIVE.IN THEATRE Clinton Opening Thursday, April 7th for the season Watch next wswk's papor for th, opining program.

All elementary schools in North Huron, excepting those in the towns, will compete. Arrange- ments for the event are in the hands of Mrs. Bernard Hall and Mr. Kenneth Scott. Proposed date for the field day is June 16. Easter Seal donations have been coming in quite steadily during the past two weeks and total receipts have climbed over the $800.00 mark. LISTEN TEENAGERS -(written by Juvenile Court Judge Philip Graham of Denver, Colorado): "We hear the plaintive cry of the teenager: 'What can we do? Where can we go?' "The answer is ....go home! Hang the storm windows. Paint the woodwork. Rake the leaves. Mow the lawn. Showel the walk. Wash the car. Learn to cook. Scrub some floors. Repair the sink. Build a boat. Get a job. "Help the minister, priest or rabbi, the Red Cross, the Sal - The world does not owe you a living. You owe the world something. "You owe it your time and energy and your talents, so that no one will be at war, or in poverty, or sick and lonely again. "In plain simple words: grow up, quit being a cry baby; get out of your dream world, develop a back bone, not a wish bone, and start acting like a man or a lady. "I'm a parent, I'm tired of nursing, appealing, begging, excusing, tolerating, denying myself needed comforts for every whim and fancy, just because your selfish ego, instead of common .sense, dominates your personality and thinking and requests.'' 15 YEARS AGO March 28, 1962 The life of a highly respected .Huron County citizen ended last Friday, March 23 when John W. Hanna, 72, of Wingham, was the victim of a heart attack. Mr. Hanna had been Progressive Conservative member of the Ontario Legislature for Huron - Bruce Riding since 1943, and was a friend of all who knew him, regardless of political feelings. A good crowd attended the last card party of the season in the Auburn Community Hall for the building fund in charge of Oliver Anderson and William L. Craig. It was announced that the present Hall Board will turn over the Hall to Hullett Township at the end of March and plans are being made for official opening this spring. Fire completely destroyed one of the oldest farm homes in the Auburn district last Thursday afternoon belonging to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Raithby, one half mile east of the village in Hullett township. Messrs. Aubrey and Lorne Toll and Charles Brigham are leaving this Thursday for Brandon, Manitoba where they will be showing Aubrey's horses in the Brandon Fair, The trip is being made after an extremely success- ful journey to the same fair last year. 35 YEARS AGO Aprl 1,1942 Results of the winter examin- ations at Blyth Continuation School were published. The grade nine class included; Irvine Bowes, Eddie Craig, Gordon Elliott, Arnold Falconer, Jeanette Glousher, Dorothy Grovier, Laur- el Laughlin, Priscilla Mann, Bill Murray, George Nesbitt, Hilda Nesbitt, Jim Pierce, Elinor Sandercock, Howard Wallace and Doris Waymouth. (Merciful as we are we will not report the marks recorded.) Seaforth's Annual Spring Show was held on Thursday and the entry list was one of the lightest in years. A fair crowd attended, but it is believed that labour shortage_ was responsible for failure of the show to live up to past records, ' O.P.P. begins program to reduce accidents Throughout Ontario, the O.P.P. have initiated a program on a large scale in an effort to reduce accidents. The program is called Selective Traffic Enforce- ment. Accidents are a mystery in some instances, but most are cut and dried, They occur due to misjudgment and actual offences against the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario which is a Provincial Statute set up for motorists to follow in order to prevent accidents. In order for us to determine causes and location of accidents a team each month from each detachment, studies accident reports accumulated from the past three years for each particular month that have occurred in that particular patrol area. From these reports statist- ics are obtained as to how many accidents occurred, where they occurred, what time of day they occurred, and possibly the reason they happened. A program is set up for each month indicating a particular area of highway a patrol car must patrol, at a particular time of day and what particular offence the officer should be looking for. From this accident pattern derived from the study each month, and the Selective Traffic Enforcement, the O.P.P. hope to .....................:::::.....mo-: prevent accidents. Barring the "white-out" storm conditions realized this winter, the program is working well as accidents have been reduced. Many types of resources are used to stop accidents causing violations such as aircrafts, radar and cruiser patrols. Obviously radar is used strictly for speed control and is a• very accurate and effective method. As speed is' involved in most accidents, and we find that accidents in general have been reduced with our 50 m:p.h. maximum limit it will be enforced heavier all the time. The new moving radar has been introduc- ed in Perth and Grey Counties and will soon be in this area. The stationary radar (sometimes hand held) is in operation now. Speeders Beware—we are out, to try and save your life and the lives of others around you.
