School text policy won't change much BY SHELLEYMcPHEE The Huron County Board of Eduation wi- ll not be changing secondary schools' present' English material, but have restricted the use of objectional books to grade 11 and up. This decision was made in Clinton on May 2 at the board's regular afternoon meeting. Included in the literary discussion was an amendment to keep the use of books. with "questionable language to a minimum use, as suggested by Trustee Eugene Frayne. After a month of meeting and discussions, the board reached their decision on this controversial topic by a vote of 13 to 3 in favor of maintaining such books as "Of Mice and Men", "Grapes of Wrath", "Catcher in the Rye", and "The Diviners." Monday's meeting, which saw some 50 people in attendance heard various delegates express their opinionson the literary issue. Clark - Teal, mathematics head of Goderich District Collegiate Institute told the board that our society is confused about moral ethics and noted that there is no shortage of good reading material. He felt that borderline or questionable novels need not be used. He also explained that subsitute books for some students was not an acceptable idea, "the student must forfeit the classroom situation and the teacher's guidance, which is an important aspect in learning. Elsa Haydon, from the Goderich Town Council and ` Wilfred Shortreed a past chairman of the board, both spoke in defence of the literary question. They commended and supported that teachers and the students. Trustee Alec Corrigan moved to support the teachers and the department heads in their choice of books with Frayne making amendments on that. Trustee John Henderson, who opposed the motion, suggested that the books be taken off the course for one year and at a later date the board could meet with the teachers to see if the books had been missed. Vice-chairman Mariam Zinn reminded that board that they still will meet with the teachers in June to discuss the books for the fall and will have the final say in the material choice.

Council studies new water • main A study of the cost of a major new watermain is to be undertaken by village council and the Public Utilities Commission after a local industry expressed fear about being able to obtain insurance coverage because of low water volume. Fred and Jim Howson, of Howson and Howson Ltd. appeared before council Monday night to discuss the problem. They told councillors that insurance costs have risen 230 percent for the large milling complex, because the insurance companies are worried about the low volume of water available in case of a fire. But cost, said Jim Howson, is not the major problem. The company is most worried that in the future it will not be able to get insurance at all. In the past, he said, four companies split the insurance for the firm. This year some 20 companies are involved. The problem is not unique to Blyth, he said. Any company dealing with grain are considered poor insurance risks. • The company installed a sprinkler system to ,aid. fire protection and reduce insurance costs' several years ago but insurance'companiess are still' not satisfied with the amount of water available to supply the system. Mr. Howson explained the problem is due to friction loss in the six inch watermain that suplies that part of town. The smaller the watermain, the more friction loss. A 10 -inch watermain would provide better fire protection not only for the mill but for the rest of the village said Jim Howson, who is also a captain in the Blyth fire department. Under discussion by the council is a 10 -inch main to come across the Blyth Creek and up Mill Street to Dinsley with the possibility of going further as funds permitted. Mr. Howson pointed out that the main would improve water supply to two other danger points, the main street business district and the A. Manning and Sons Ltd., lumber yard. Blyth is not alone in its water supply problems. In Clinton a major industry the Sherlock Manning piano factory is threatening to close because of lack of water supply has sent insurance costs skyrocketing. Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh was instruc- ted by council to get estimates on the cost of proposal. The main has been considered by the Public Utiliites Commission for several years but was always postponed by lack of funds. Council will meet with the Public Untilities Commission to discuss the situation. In other business, council endorsed a letter from the town of Exeter expressing amazement that in time of government restraint, the Board of Education could increase its levy by 23 per cent. After a good deal of discussion council voted to give $50. to the Huron County Home and Farmstead Improvement contest. Biggest. season announced. for Summer Festival Three new plays and . an old favourite make up the third season schedule of the Blyth Summer Festival announced, last week by artistic. Director James Roy. The season will open July 1 with a production of a new adaptation of Harry J. Boyle's A Summer Burning. The musical play tells the story of a young city slum boy who comes to a rural Ontario farm and the problems that result. The second production, opening July 4 is 1 a repeat of last season's hit show The Blood is Strong, dealing with the trials of Scottish pioneers in Canada. Many people ; were unable to see the musical drama last summer when it sold out the last several performances and hundreds were turned away. The third show is the Blyth Memorial History Show, written by local writer -actor Jim Schaefer and dealing with the history of the Blyth area. The show is a special contribution to the Blyth Centennial celebrations and will open July 27. The fourth play of the season, The Shortest Distance Between Two Points is a comedy about a small town that decides to fight back when it's pushed around once too often by big government. The play, written by Keith Roulston, open August 9. Besides the four Festival productions, two other plays will be on display through a special two-week exchange program with the Victoria Playhouse in Petrolia. The plays are A Man with A Load of Mischief, a musical starring Stan Kane and Judith Lebane (opening July 12) and Artichoke a drama by Joanna Glass, (opening July 13). Both fit in well with the Festival policy of doing Canadian plays. Sets for both visiting productions are designed by Michael Harris who was designer at the Festival last season. Season ticket vouchers offering all six shows for the price of five will soon be on sale locally. Many of the members of the company from the past two seasons will be returning for the summer (rehearsals begin in early June). PG, 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD/MAY 4, 1977, Grade 12 students to be tested on Grade 12 students in the Huron County education system will have their basic knowledge of sex tested s000n after the Huron County Education Committee agreed recently to allow the health unit to give the students a 21 question sex knowledge test. The Huron County Health Unit approached the board of educa- tion with the test suggesting that the students be examined to see once and for all if cries of not enough or too much sex education were true, The test was prepared by the family planning section of the health unit and was to be given to Grade 10 and Grade 12 students. The education committee pond- ered the merits of the test wondering what purpose it would serve. Separate school trustee Eugene Frayne asked what the results of the test would prove and what the health unit hoped to do with the results. Superintendant of Education Jim Coulter said he agreed in part with Frayne, pointing out that the test would serve to determine student's familiarity with termin- ology and awareness of the human reproduction system. He added, however, that while the students "might pass the test they also might fail life". Huron County Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Frank Mills said the test was designed to find out what the students knew and where they were getting their knowledge. He said it was not meant to raise the criticism or point out shortcomings in the education system but to assess the knowledge of the students. Dr. Mills pointed out that a great number of complaints have been registered recently that instruction is either too specific in sex education or is too lax. He said the only way to determine what education is doing is to sex knowledge determine what the students know. He said that by testing both Grade 10 and Grade 12 students the board and the health unit could determine in what grade the material was being learned, He said that by testing only Grade 12 students the board would find out only that the material is being taught. By testing both Grade 10 and 12 they would find out where it is being taught. The board questioned the need to test both levels of students as requested by the health unit. Most trustees felt there was no real purpose for the testing, and they couldn't see testing two grades. Exeter Trustee Clarence Mc= Donald set a precedent by requesting that the education committee be given the results of the testing. The committee las never asked for such a report in the past. Dr. Mills said the health unit had intended all : along to share the results of the test with the board of education, pointing out that to do otherwise would make the testing an exercise in futility, He added that the health unit had edited the test to make it straightforward and to attempt to limit the amount of criticism raised concerning it. The committee requested that the questions contained in the test not be made public for obvious reasons. Students taking the test would not have their knowledge accurately gauged if they could read the questions prior to writing the test. Questions range from pregnan- cy to abortion, touching on male and female reproductive systems, passage of the eggs and sperm through the bodies of men and women and contraceptive meth- ods. Only students taking health will be tested. About 85 percent of the Grade 12 students are taking the subject, the remainder' having dropped it in favor of another course. The population explosion dur- ing the Klondike Gold Rush to Dawson City created so many administrative problems that Canada's Yukon separated from the Northwest Territories and received territorial status in 1898.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/MAY 4, 1977. PG. 3, Elliot wants French course changes The Huron County Board'of Education will be receiving a grant of $1,000 from the Ministry of Education to be used in the conversion of a vacant classroom into a french learning centre. The experiment is the first step in the improvement and expansion of teaching French as a second language in Ontario schools, The board in their regular meeting on May 2 decided to transform one elementary classroom into a learning centre to see how it worked, There was some discussion as to whether the students are receiving enough education in French. At the present time, French is being taught in public school from grades three to eight, for 20 minute periods. Trustee John Elliott said, "The French program in the elementary schools is good on oral French. However once in high school there is a large number of students who drop the French program, because it's more history and written French, which reflects on the old country's French, not Canadian." He suggested that the French program should come closer to Canadian content, not Parisian and he would like to see it on the obligatory list as a Canadian study. Chairman John Cochrane pointed out that this may take 'language minded students away from Parisian French which is studied in university by the language majors. Trustee Shirley Hazlitt questioned the benefits of starting French at the grade one level. Trustee Bob Allan replied, saying, that the ministry had done a fair amount of research on this and had no definite conclusions. However it was felt that more important than the age, the students should be taught a certain amount of French. VW - BISHOP R.V. SIDER • JOIN US THIS SUNDAY, MAY 8 AT 8;00 P.M.

If you .listen to the words spouted by the politicians, they're not likely to get any more answers. The opposition parties don't want the election and poor Mr. Davis sounds like he's been hurt grievously to have to go seeking votes. Mr. Davis' tears, however, are definitely of the crocodile kind. The • excuse for this election is of the flimsiest kind. The reason is not the amendment to the rent control legislation pushed through by the Liberals and New Democrats, but the recent polls that show the Tories far out front in popularity. The government had seemed so changed in the past year and a half since it squeaked in with a minority. It seemed so humble, so far from the arrogant giant that steamrollered through such monstrosities as regional government, county school boards and other centralizing measures, against the will of the people. The grab for power that Davis is now making, however, shows that he was only lying low waiting for his chance to take over again. Let's hope for once, that Bill Davis has miscalculated the mood of the Ontario people. The last thing we need in this province is a return to the kind of arrogant government we had before the last election. Davis will likely resort to the old Red scare tactics against the N.D.P. since that appears to be his main opposition but hopefully people won't buy it. Better Stephen Lewis and the N.D.P. anyday than the kind of government the province has had in the past 10 years. We didn't want this election. We were happy enough with a humble Bill Davis in government. Since Mr. Davis thinks a minority government isn't enough power then it's time the people of Ontario gave him a chance to see what life is like with no power at all. History will give clearer picture In a recent television interview Julie Nixon Eisenhower made some salient points about her father Richard Nixon and the famous Watergate affair. Mrs. Eisenhower, of course, has been one of the main defenders of her father before, during and since the long dispute. She stuck with him through thick and thin. She is not entirely unbiased when discussing the whole affair. But in the interview she said it's too early to really judge Watergate fairly. The public mind is still cluttered with so many issues that have been associated with, but not actually attached to, the Watergate investigations, she said. She will wait until people can look at the situation objectively. She will wait to see how history recalls the period. Many of us, of course feel the judgement of Richard Nixon by historians will differ little from the present view yet the fact remains that we are too close to the historic period to judge properly. Only in retrospect can we make fair judgements about important issues in the history of a country. The hectic Diefenbaker-Pearson years of squabble can be understood better now, for instance than at the time the squabbling was making daily headlines. So too the present age of uncertainty a look at Canada's future will be much more objectively studied in hindsight than it is now when we're living through it. Will history agree with Julie Eisenhower or with his contemporary critics? Only time will tell. Big fuss over little issue. The CTV television program W5 Sunday night devoted a block of its time to a plea for a reform of the laws prohibiting the possession and use of marijuana in Canada. It paraded an impressive list of celebrities and professional people before the cameras to say they had used the drug and felt the law should be changed. The mood of the piece seemed to be that if enough people want a law changed it should be changed, not whether or not the law was right in the first place. The whole question of whether or not the drug is dangerous or leads to use of more dangerous drugs like cocaine and heroin is an emotional one. It divides people into two camps even though the great debate over the use of drugs seems today to be something from out of the past. ' The question we couldn't help asking as we watched the show the other night was why? Why do these supposedly intelligent people, leaders of our country in one way or another, have to seek yet another crutch in life. Suppose they are right and marijuana is no worse than booze and cigarettes? What does it prove? Booze and cigarettes are both major health problems in today's society. Why do these national leaders feel they must add another problem of that nature? Many of these same leaders are people who lead fights in popular ecological struggles against pollution by large companies, food additives, nuclear radiation, clean water and so many other popular issues. Yet they also think it an important right to clog their lungs with smoke and fog their mind with drugs. Ironic isn't it? May flowers BY KEITH ROULSTON The great book debate over what books should be taught in local secondary schools would seem to be over, but somehow I doubt it. The whole thing, 1 fear, has been a gigantic waste of time. The two sides have not been talking with each other, they've been talking AT each other, They might as well have been speaking one in Greek and the other in Chinese for all the understanding there has been of one or the 'other's side of the discussion. But I don't think the "discussion" is over yet. I gave up arguments of this kind a long time ago. There can be no point of agreement between the two sides. Both sec the issue in black and white, with no grey areas. Both sec their side as completely right, the other side as absolutely wrong. That leaves me on even more perilous ground in my thinking. 1 can see a little on both sides„ which means in any discussion I'm open to attack from both sides. I must freely admit that most of the books cited as the filthy ones by critics of the local school English curriculum are on my own bookshelf. I guess that 1 must be pretty well down the road to complete degradation because I e couldn't even remember them as being dirty. I remembered the Caught in the middle on moral argument good ones. Whether or not the books are on the school curriculum when my children reach high school, I imagine they will have read them by the time they are 18. The books are on the bookshelf now and they'll stay there and if the kids want to read them, so be it. 1'II put my confidence in my ability as a parent to give my children the proper moral back- ground so they can deal with the language in the books. Perhaps parts and forgot the juicy ly, there are no hard and fast proofs of what is good literature. What one person thinks is a great ' book, another thinks is terrible. You'll never get complete agree- ment. So the door is open to do just about anything. It's the same as pornography in general. Most of the uproar is about, in my debased view, some pretty tame books. Banning those • magazines is interfering dangerously with freedom of speech. Yet if you believe it's a dangerous step; after all, completely in freedom of speech, that's the way my parents treated do you then approve of things like me and look how terrible I turned children exploitation in some hardcore pornographic maga- zines? How about homosexual magazines? Or the "snuff" films where people were actually killed in the name of perverted sexual thrills? Few people would think that this kind of thing should be allowed, even though they might support magazines like Playboy and Penthouse. But where, do you draw the line and who's to draw it? out. On the other hand, I can agree with the critics of the course. There are a lot of other books that could be studied in the schools, books that don't have terrible language and plenty of sex. A few of the books arc chosen, I imagine, because they add some spice to the Lit. Classes, make it easier to get the little devils to actually read the h'oks. 1 remember we used to have such spicey books as the Thomas Hardy's Return of the Native in which if a couple were seen walking holding hands without being either married or. chape- roned, it was a scandal. After years of trying to get kids to read books like that, one can perhaps understand why teachers want a little excitment in the curriculum. The teachers claim the books are good literature. Unfortunate. 1 guess 1 must be getting old and cyncial because nowadays I so often see, not answers, but just questions to problems like this. I can see dangers on both sides: of being too free and being too restrictive. 1 don't think that either side of the question is entirely right, an opinion that's bound to get me in trouble with both sides. Oh well, 1 needed some excitment in my life. 0[ • 111 . ti% SAVINGS Tide Powdered Detergent $1.99 Maxwell House - Instant Coffee $4.39 gNNIUERSqR THE BLYTH STANDARD/MAY 4, 1977. PG, 5.

Last week's Centennial Crusade at Memorial Hall was a success with near -capacity audiences every night. Rev. Wesley Ball was the Huronview Auxiliary names executive The April meeting of the April 18. Mrs. Colclough Women's Auxiliary of Huronview was held in the Craft room on presiding. The meeting opened From the Minister's Study BY REV. FRED CARSON If someone were to ask you what the most certain thing is in this life and, yet, at the same time the most uncertain, what would your answer be? Would you search your mind for a wonderful sounding philosophical statement about life, or would you have the answer immediately at you fingertips because of your experiences? Undoubtedly, most people realize that the one thing that remains constant in the world is the eventual experience of death for each one of us. No one regardless of status in the community can escape this most feared area of life. But, inspite of the fact that death remains certain for each of us, there continues to be a uncertain element for all of us. None can say, "I'm going to die at age 80," for this can come to any of us at any time. Death is no respecter of age. lnspite of this frightening aspect of life, we can face it without fear and turn its hopeless appearance into positive assurance, for Jesus said, "I am the ressurection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies." (John 1:25) What a wonderful promise and hope we have in Him. But removing the sting of death is but one thing that Jesus Christ docs for us. The Risen Christ also empowers us to live a full life while on earth. Sometimes Christians are accused of placing too great an emphasis on eternal life, while neglecting that which we experience at this moment. Well, Jesus is the King of Life - this life and the next - and He desires only that we enjoy a full happy existence here, while living in the promise that, as we live in Him so shall we die in Him, Praise God! There are problems facing each of us in this day of tension and anxiety, but no problem is so great that it can't be overcome. We need only approach the Saviour with our difficulties to receive new strength and new hope, for He said, "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy -laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28) As l write this, we are in the midst of the Crusade and, as many of us have witnessed, there have been many blessings , poured out, as persons have been renewed by the Spirit of God. If, when you read this, you are unsure what renewal is all about; if you continue to walk in doubt and fears; ifyou find yourself living a rather hopeless, meaningless existence, not knowing how to cope with your daily problems; if you fear death itself, come to Jesus and permit Him to pour the fulness of the Love of God in and through you. Jesus can make this centennial year one that you will never forget, because you will be able to look back and say, "That is when I began to really live." Praise Jesus, the Risen Lordl Blue Water Club meets The Huron County C.C.B. Blue Water Club held its' opening meeting of the year 1977-78 April the 19th in the Orange Hall, CliAu.

Blyth United Church news Blyth residents are reminded that the 1977 Campaign for the Ontario March of Dimes gets underway the first week of May, and that their wholehearted support is desperately needed to alleviate many of the problems facing disabled adults. The .campaign theme "Put yourself in the Picture" gives pause for reflection. What would you do if your active, happy world were to change tomorrow through accident, stroke, heart attack or other castrophe? Physically disabled adults need our help if they are to enjoy fuller, happier lives, especially in view of the recent government cucoacKs in social and health services, The money collected will be used to provide wheelechairs, artificial limbs, ramps, research, social activities and many other items of need to disabled adults. Please give generously when a canvasser knocks at your door. The annual campaign is under the direction of chairman Brenda Brooks and Co-chairman, Joan Chalmers who have set a goal of $500. March of Dimes goal $500 Service was held on Sunday morning at Blyth United Church, Greeting into the Narthex were Earl Caldwell and Bert Fear. Ushers were Fred Mier Jr., Rod Ansley, Curt Campbell and Graham Jackson. Mrs. Cheryl Cronin sang two solos "Until Then" and "He". Rev. Wittich chose for his sermon "God gives the Growth".

Centennial Crusade big success The Centennial Crusade is now past history and to the organizers who met last Thursday evening in the United Church it was a time of thanksgiving and praise, We have a lot to be thankful for, The attendance was • excel- lent; almost a full house every night, a very dynamic speaker in Rev. Ball, wonderful music and a good spirit of fellowship and rededication. The presence of the Holy Spirit at work in our community was felt by many and this atmosphere pervaded our meeting Thursday night. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who gave freely of their time and talents: Mr, Bowes for the sound system, Mrs. Wittich for song leader and choir director, the members of the mass choir, the special music groups, the pianists Mrs. McNall and Mrs. Dalrymp- le, and the ushers and greeters.

Board of Education studies family life course at The education committee of Huron County Board of Education was told recently that the bulk of material taught by teachers in the sex education classes is put together by teachers in the county system. The committee met with two elementary school health and physical education teachers in Huron to try to determine what all so called sex education classes concern. Sheila Martin, a teacher from Seaforth Public School, and Clare Harman of Colborne Central Public School, laid out what they termed a family living course to the committee pointing out that very little guidance for the program is given by the Ministry of Education, Superintendant of Education Jim Coulter explained to the committee that while the Ministry does comment on what goals sex education should aim for it offers very few guidelines on how to reach those goals. He said that the teachers in the county develop the curriculum W be used at the elementary level and are charged with the task of imparting the information to the children. "The abilities of the teachers in this course can determine the course effectiveness," said Coul- ter. "If the teacher is uncomfortable discussing the subject 1 suppose he can always turn to the health nurse for assistance." Martin said she felt the best way to teach the course was to set up an informal class where no notes are kept, no testing is done and all subject matter is given orally. She said she merely talks to the students in a matter of fact manner and finds that once the children realize that the subject is not dirty and unmentionable the classes progress smoothly. She said she liked to handle all the material in the class herself and leaves nothing for the public health nurse. She said she couldn't explain why she felt that way but was of the opinion that the students wouldn't be as frank with a health nurse as they were with her. The program taught in the elementary classes is stretched over three years beginning in Grade 6, The first year the class is introduced to.their bodies and are told why they are undergoing physical and emotional changes as they develop physically. The teachers identify and name the endocrine glands and establish their effect on behaviour and growth. Puberty is defined as the state in development between child and adult and the body changes that take place during puberty are explained. The reproductive process is explained and students made aware of how human life begins. Self control is touched on as children are made aware of the fact that they are responsible for their own behaviour. In Grade 7 the class starts off reviewing material learned the previous year and then moves into social development through adolescence. Dating is discussed and compared to friendships between members of the opposite sex and dating skills are discussed. The criteria and value for dating behaviour is taught through necking and petting and their meaning, reasons and results. The advantages and disadvantages of going steady are discussed and normal problems associated with maturing. In Grade 8 the students concentrate on family relation- ships and their values and kick off the year by reviewing Grade 7 material. From there they learn more of faith, security, emotional needs, defense mechanisms, per- sonal involvement in family activities, responsibilites to fami- lies and what each can do to help produce a happy home life. Martin explained that the speed at which the class progresses is due largely to the maturity of the class, She said some classes take a considerable amount of time learning the course basics while others grasp it quickly and want to discuss other aspects of life and family living. McKillop Trustee John Hend- erson wondered why children were so much rougher today than they were years ago, claiming that the types of words they use in the playground indicates they are learning the words somewhere. He wondered if the sex education classes had anything to do with it. Henderson added that he was curious as to why children were coming home with questions to their parents claiming they were • afraid to ask the questions at school. Martin said he felt the fact that kids were asking questions at home is healthy, pointing out that the interest is being cultured at school. She said the "backwoods' attitude surrounding sex suggest-, ing that it is dirty and that use of the names of the body organs was dirty, is disappearing now. Martin conceded that the slang names for the body organs was , still taboo but added that when she was young, things of this nature were kept "under a bushel" and that now they're treated as a fact of life, Clare Harman said he didn't feel that kids today were any rougher than they were years ago and emphasized that any slang word used to denote a body organ was certainly not as a result of health classes. Harman said the teachers merely attach proper names to body organs "calling a testicle a testicle." He said that perhaps the use of profanity was more candid years ago but the knowledge of the words was as prevalent then as it is now. "Using the proper term in the classroom is important," he said. "That freedom in the class promotes some amazing quest- ions from the students." Henderson said that today there seems to be alot of marriage breakdowns, unwed mothers, divorces, and common law arrangements, and wondered why the increase in these areas. He asked if it wasn't due to the education the children are receiv- ing, then what was it due to. Harman suggested that the per capita ratio has probably not changed much at all pointing out that larger classroom enrolments automatically means more prob- lems. Coulter suggested that a alznnere T1ONAL ARM SUPPORTS NR 11•11101110° change in attitudes may also make it appear as though there is more promiscuity. He said in his day if a girl was pregnant in school she was taken out of class and hidden away until she had the baby at least. "Now we welcome unvved mothers ' in the schools and encourage them to finish their year," he said. Clinton trustee Dorothy Wil- liams suggested that split classes may produce more effective results pointing out that some- times boys will ask questions if there are no girls in the class and vice versa. Clare Harman said .he would prefer to teach the material co-ed, adding quickly that he felt it was the only way to teach it. He said the questions asked early in the course are usually asked by the more outgoing children but as a comfort level is established and a rapport between students is reached, the questions become more specific. He added that quite often what some boys ask will be of benefit to girls and vice versa. Martin agreed that co-ed was the only way to teach the course, claiming that the origin of the question is important since boys want to know about girls and girls about boys. She said sone of the questions asked would simply not be asked at all if the class was not co-ed. "Some of the questions would be cmbarassing for a parent and are probably better answered by a teacher or someone other than a parent," said Martin. She added that she herself finds it is easier for her to deal with subject as a teacher than as a parent. "I'm better at school than 1 am at home," she said. Shirley Hazlitt, trustee from Colborne township, said she. had heard comments all evening that suggested that the education was due more to the physical aspects of sex rather than the moral and emotional. She said she realized it was a touchy subject but felt compelled to point out that there may be a need to discuss sex from a moral standpoint stressing it from a husband and wife angle rather than from a physical aspect. Dorothy Wallace, Goderich trustee, said it may be good to teach morality in school, claiming there may be room for religion in the classroom. She added that through sex education, maybe the board was trying to teach morality by coming through the back door. Eugene Frayne, separate sch- ool trustee on the board, said that he also felt that the physical aspects of sex were brought to the Foot Troubles?

"If you're going to teach the how with the why you're going to have problems." • He added that relating sex education to husband and wife rather than boy and girl may save the board and parents a lot of trouble. Goderich Trustess Cayley Hill disagreed with the 'concept of morality in the school claiming •the board would be taking over duties that are the parents. Clare Harman said that he objected to the claim that all that was being taught was the physical angles, He said the teachers merely told the students what the proper name was for body organs and quite often the emotional and schools moral aspects of any sex education was brought up in the question and answer period. Harman said the teachers never try to tell the students how to deal with morality of sex. Perform a death�deiying act. Reduce if overweight.

Marsh World n4.• PEAT LANDS — Vast areas of North America are covered by peat. Peat accumulates in wet areas, such as bogs and fens where a combination of low temperature, . excessive moisture, and often high acidity inhibits the normal decomposition of dead plant material. Peatlands are usually unproductive for waterfowl because the soil nutrients are tied up chemically in the undecomposed peat, and are not available to grow the types of food plants and invertebrates on which ducks and geese thrive. Ducks Unlimited is presently investigating tech- niques for managing peat areas to increase their potential for waterfowl.

Then consider how one group of Canadian scientists brightened up its working hours. Every day for three years, the intrepid scientists force fed saccharin to herds of hapless laboratory rats. Rats are not stupid, you see, and the only way to get a rat to consume massive doses of anything -- including saccharin -- is to force feed the little beast. In this experiment, the rats were given the human equivalent of 800 12 -ounce bottles of diet pop a dayl At the end of the three-year period, the descendants of the original rats were dissected and studied. Some had bladder stones and tumours. From which the scientists concluded that saccharin can cause cancer in people. From which the national Department of Health and Wel- fare decided that we'd all be better off without saccharin. And that's why, after July 1, you won't be able to buy diet soft drinks that contain saccharin. Not everyone wants to be saved from saccharin, however. There are some very annoyed dissenters who argue that a human would drown long before finishing off 800 bottles of diet pop in a day. They also note that the proportions of rats which devel- oped tunours was very small and that rats are prone to tumours even without the presence of a cancer agent; similar studies with monkeys in the United States suggested that saccharin is completely safe. Above all, the dissenters argue that saccharin is currently allowing millions of diabetics to carry on relatively normal lives, free from sugar but not devoid of sweeteners. Meanwhile, the government's unilateral action -• saccharin producers were not consulted prior to the ban -- is jeopardizing the survival , of at least one member of the Canadian Federa- tion of Independent Business. A spokesman for Cumberland Pack- aging Ltd., which produces the well-known "Sweet 'N Low" line, notes that saccharin has been widely used in North America 80 years without any indication that it might cause cancer. You can, of course, still buy cigarettes or whiskey in this country, even though study after study has demonstrated their unhealthy side effects. And you can consume refined sugar to your heart's content •- until it causes a heart attack. But you won't be able to buy saccharin after this summer. How much protection does the Canadian consumer need?

Guest speaker following the dinner was Jim Armstrong, host of the 1978 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery show near Wingham. He explained that the Match breaks down the barrier between urban and rural people.

The Ontario Plowmen's Association guarantees that the local committee will cover its expenses in staging the match.

Teacher explains position on 'filthy' books in schools The subject of the content of books used in the secondary English courses in Huron County was again on the agenda of the Huron County Board of Education when it met in Clinton on Monday. Among those speaking on the subject was Clarke S. Teal, head of the Mathematics department at Goderich District Collegiate Institute, resident of Goderich Township, father of three and "disciple of Jesus the Christ..." Mr, Teal's main argument about the bdoks was the use of blasphemous language."The name of Jesus Christ and the name of His father God, separately and together mean everything to me that is Holy, just, loving, compassionate, beautiful, uplifting and true," he said. "It is therefore, not surprising that when either one or both of these two Holy names are blasphemed I feel a deep : hurt inside which , is difficult to describe. Perhaps it is something like having your closest friend openly insulted and treated with contempt." Mr. Teal said he felt there were two important truths the Board should consider. "The first truth is that it is possible, in fact easy, to satisfy every truly worthwhile educational objective in our Secondary School English programme without using read- ing material which is blas- phemus, profane, obscene, vulgar and pornographic, If this kind of reading material is required to fulfill some educa- tional objective, then that object- ive is not truly worthwhile. r' "One of the important genera aims of a secondary schoo education, he said, "is to help ou; young people understand and bt prepared for the real world." For that reason, he said, he supported accurate and prudent sex education and the ,discreet examination of the whole spectrum of human behaviour patterns and alternative lifestyles Blyth and area news briefs Miss Dorothy Popplestone of Waterloo and Dr. and Mrs. C.D. Kilpatrick, Listowel, visited friends in the Village•on Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey McDowell, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Walden we're happy to attend the service at North Street United Church, Seaforth on Sunday on the occasion of the celebration of Rev, Ure Stewart's 70th annivers- ary of his ordination _ to the Ministry. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Johnson, Kari and Kurt visited with Mr. and Mrs, Herb Shannon on Sunday, Rev. and Mrs. Donald Snell visited with Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Snell and attended the Centennial 'Crusade a week ago Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Campbell brought his father Mr. Howard Campbell home on Saturday, improved in health from a 10 -day stay in Victoria Hospital, London. Mr. and Mrs. Morley Johnston of Auburn, called on Mr, and Mrs. Howard Campbell on Sunday, and their ,consequences. But "these can best be handled without the distraction of objec- tionable vocabulary," he said. "The second truth is that the pressure group in this case is not Lloyd Barth (who originally brought the isue before the Board) and a group of concerned parents; the real pressure group is society itself." He said the "enlightened" society is confused about moral issues. It has no "moral anchor". He said that the media, when it • i required more money to operate, the problem is solved by lowering moral standards of acceptability to satisfy "the appetites of a vocal, avid, demanding minority." The silent majority he said, is at first inwardly displeased but then adapts and becomes even more silent and apathetic. "This is why those who decide to take a public stand for what is right and true are more often than not a very small minority, as history so repeatedly demonstrated." Mr. Teal said that the alternative suggested at last week's board meeting, that those students objecting to the material offered on moral grounds could be given an acceptable altern- ative was not fair, because it deprived the student of classroom interaction with the teacher and fellow students. He termed the arguments advanced by those in favour of the books "rationalizations" and said he prayed the trustees would take the right course of action.

County approves development near Lucknow Two acres of agricultural land just south of Lucknow in West Wawanosh Township will be allowed to develop resident- ially, following Huron County Council's approval of an amend- ment to the county's official plan, There is already one house on the site, which will be subdivided into four lots to allow the erection of three new houses, J.W. Joynt of Lucknow applied for the amendment, saying the small size of the property and its location indicates an urban function, Reeve Ed Oddleifson of BayfieId expressed a concern the development might be annexed by Lucknow, asking for assurance "we won't lose the land", . Gary Davidson, county planning director, told him although Lucknow is co-operating by providing water service and snowplowing, there has been no talk of annexation, Reeve Robert Lyons of West Wawanosh Township told council O.P.P asks parents to crackdown on teenage drinking During the week April 25 -May 1, officers at Wingham Detachment of the O.P.P. conducted 24 investigations. Sixteen charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act and fifty-seven warnings were issued, Thirteen charges were laid under the Liquor Licence Act, One charge was laid under the Criminal Code. During the week, there was one motor vehicle collision which caused an estimated $320, in property damage. No one was injured, During the past month, 28 persons were charged with liquor offences in Wingham O.P.P. arca, the bulk of them over the past week. That would represent almost $1500 in fines, As usual, almost all of the offenders were teenagers, the same age group who historically have been the sad victims of fatal car crashes in this arca. Perhaps the parents should be taking a stronger, more arbitrary position. In many cases, the parents own the car or have it in their name for insurance purposes. That should create some leverage to forbid the kids drinking and driving. New asst. ag. rep. named for Huron Mr. Dennis Martin was recently appointed Assistant Agricultural Representative for Huron County. He succeeds Bill Broadworth who was promoted to the position of Agricultural .Representative for the district of Thunder Bay, Mr, Martin graduated January 1975 from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York where he received his honours degree in Animal Science. Dennis is a native of Bruce County where his family operates a beef farm, Dennis worked the summer of '74 with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food broadcast- ing livestock market reports with Market Information Branch, Toronto, In January, 1975 he started as Assistant Agricultural. Representative in York County and was in charge of Dairy programs, Canfarm, 4-H and Junior Farmers. Dennis's interests include sports (hockey), farming and music. he favours allowing development of the land in question. AGRICULTURE PROMOTED Huron Councy council also approved a secondary plan submitted by Goderich Township, outlining the direction of future development in that municipality, . Reeve Ginn reported his township is under great pressure from the urban areas of Goderich, Clinton and Bayfield. The intent of the secondary plan, he said, is to remain an agricultural community while allowing development of certain land, He claimed Goderich is the first township to come up with the rural residential designation for land least suited for agriculture, This allows development of a density not to exceed one dwelling per two acres, "I think the plan suits the majority of township residents," Mr, Ginn told council, recommending its adoption. METRIC SIGNS READY About 300 metric speed limit signs have been prepared and are ready to go up September 30, Mr. Britnell told councillors. The signs arc marked in kilometers per hour instead of miles per hour, The new signs will read 50, rather than 30, in towns and 80, rather than 50, on highways. They will bear a km/h designa- tion in the corner to remind motorists of the new standard of measurement, Mr, Britnell said. He also reported: "It looks like we're going to get some money back for the tough winter," The county has applied for more than $51,000 in extra subsidy for winter control costs, though it has not yet received the allocation from the ministry of transport. The council decided not to support 'a resolution from Essex County asking the ministry to` base the extra subsidy on "other than the abnormal winter of 1976", • The subsidy is hard enough to get now, road committee chairman Robert Lyons declared. "If we change it again, we might not get it in time for next year." Mr, Britnell added that any gain through changing the funding formula would probably be slight, since the amount of money to be allocated is fixed. He also said the effects of the severe winter on the road and bridge construction and mainten- ance program are not yet fully known, warning it may be necessary to cut back on some items to stay within the budget. NON-SMOKING AREAS The Huron County board of health has acknowledged the need for non-smoking areas in public places and urges the immediate designation of such areas. Noting that 58 per cent of the population are non-smokers, the board says there is growing pressure for "legislation and governmental directive" to designate non-smoking areas in airplanes, restaurants, stores and other public places. Government legislation passed in the United States provides for summary fines of five dollars to $25 for smoking in such areas, it was pointed out, The board also proposed a joint committee with Perth County to discuss sharing of services and consider administrative amalgamation of the two health units. Several councillors voiced objections to the idea of a joint health unit. Reeve William Elston T� SLJM174 Ir! of Morris Township told the board he is disappointed more money is not spent making the Huron health unit work better instead of ,studying a joint committee. He likes the idea of the health unit being controlled by the county, he said, and feels a joint unit is unnecessary. ASSISTANCE REQUESTS UP • John MacKinnon, social services administrator for the county, said requests for assist- ance are up to 281 for the first three months of the year, compared to 216 last year. Actual expenditures during the first quarter rose only 8.42 per cent, however, he said, noting this is usually the heaviest period for assistance. The library board told council it has authorized the Huron County Library to participate in a plan to introduce reciprocal borrowing privileges with libraries in Cambridge, Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, Stratford, Waterloo Region and Wellington County. Cards from neighbouring libraries would be honoured, with the patron responsible for return- ing borrowed material to the original library.

How many times have you had a near miss or collision with someone who has failed to stop his vehicle at an intersection where he or she is supposed to? Most every day you can, if you are looking for it, see someone fail to stop at an intersection where a stop sign is erected. It seems people are in a hurry to go nowhere and it is an injustice to have to stop completely. For those who don't always stop, think of the time you almost got rammed because of someone who neglected to stop. People get in such a habit of "rolling Blyth native dies STEWART R. YOUNG Stewart R.

(a) The driver or operator of a vehicle...upon approaching a stop sign at an intersection, shall bring, the vehicle to a full stop at a clearly marked stop line or, if non, then immediately before entering the nearest crosswalk or, if none, then immediately before entering the intersection." As you see by reading the section most of us are not only forgetting the complete stop, but we are also leaving ourselves open for a "STOP WRONG PLACE" charge if you drive in a community where there are stop lines painted on the highway or crosswalks. After you have been driving for a number of years it takes concentration to break bad habits. If you keep your eyes open you will sec that many of us need to concentrate on stopping rather than the famous "ROLLING STOP" which not only causes accidents, but could cause a deficit in your wallet of $28.00 and an addition of 3 demerit points to your driving record. Prevent accidents by watching for that driver that doesn't completely stop. Any questions or suggested topics should be forwarded to Prov. Const, R.W.

In tears we saw you sinking, - We watched you day by day, Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping So peacefully, free from pain, We could not wish you back to suffer that again. Ever remembered, ever loved and missed so very much by Don, Shirley, Ross and Jerry and the Grandchildren. 18-lp DURNIN: In loving memory of a dear son and brother Donald Durnin who passed away suddenly six years ago May 3, 1971. It's not the tears at the time that are shed, That tell us the hearts that are broken, But the lonesome tears in the after years, When our loved one's name is spoken. Softly we stoop and gather them all. Unseen, unheard, they are always near, Still loved, still missed, still very dear. For this month comes back with deep regret To bring back a day we will never forget. Lovingly remembered and sadly missed by Dad, Mom, brothers and sister and families.

DEAR ANN: A recent column made me furious, I refer to the one in which you upbraided women for wearing flimsy negli- gees in elevators of high-rise buildings, to and from laundry rooms. Your insinuation that they were "'looking for trouble" was enough to turn my stomach, You, of all people, should know that rape has nothing to do with attire. It is the by-product of a sick society which regards women as 'sex objects and vulnerable playthings. Many rape victims are housewives who are attacked in their own homes, in broad daylight, while fully clothed, minding their own business. How paradoxical that the very women who are, encouraged by advertising and the media to look sexy and behave seductively are also expected to clamp on their chastity belts and combat boots when they go downstairs to do the laundry. Your suggestion that more modest apparel will rescue St. MarksA Column made her furious them from trouble is nonsense. -- Raped Elsewhere, DEAR ELSEWHERE: Granted, most rapes are acts of hostility, related to ANOTHER female, not the one attacked •• and most rapist are mentally unbalanced, BUT, sexy and provocative attire just might trigger something in a man's head that could excite him sexually, Many" experts will not agree, which is OK with me because I'm beginning to rely more on logic and common sense than on the double -dome material put out by the "experts." DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm a 15 -year-old male. My problem is too much kissing, Ever since I was born, my parents have kissed me to pieces, 1 love them a lot, but I think being over -kissed has damaged my love life, I don't get a very big charge out of kissing girls. When I hear the other guys brag about the turn -on THEY get, 1 think something must be wrong with me. I'm no psychiatrist, but I'm afraid too much home -style kissing has deadened me to the whole thing. Am l worrying needlessly?—Over-Smooched. .C.W. hold meeting The April 1977 meeting of St. Mark's Anglican Church A.C.W. was held at the home of Mrs. Thomas Haggitt. There was a good attendance. Mrs. Haggitt welcomed all to the meeting and opened it by the hymn, Crown Him, Lord of All. Prayers were led by Mrs. Robert Slater. The scripture lesson was read by Mrs, Ian Clark. It was taken from the Book of Acts, chapter 4, verses 1.14. A reading was given on Meditation taken from the Living Message, This birthday hymn chosen was "Bless be the tie that Binds". The roll call was answered by a Bible verse from the Book of Acts of the Apostles. Mr. James Towe gave the 'members the regulations for selecting a new Minister. An auction of plants followed. Mrs. Ed Davies kindly presented each member with a potholder which she had made while on a winter holiday in Florida. A delightful lunch was served by Mrs, Haggitt, assisted by Mrs. Ian Clark. Auburn area news briefs Miss Marie Empey of Calgary and Miss Barbara Empey of Brooks, Alberta returned home after a two weeks vacation with their parents Mr, and Mrs. William Empey, Mr. and Mrs. William Empey Jr., and Mr. Ken Empey. Miss Dianne Popp, Reg. N., visited last weekend with her friend Miss Kathy Game in Toronto, Mrs. Lorne Popp is a patient in Victoria Hospital, London for further spinal surgery. Six tables were in play last Tuesday evening for the final euchre party of the season held in the Community Memorial Hall, Prizes were presented to: Novelty, Mrs. Thomas Haggitt; high lady, Mrs, Ed Davies; low lady, Mrs, Thomas Hallam; high man, Ben Hamilton, low man, John Hallam.

Four new residents were welcomed to the Home at Monday's activities Margaret McQueen, Mrs. Pickard, Mrs. r Sholdice and Margaret Murray. The Goderich Township volunt- eers and Diane Dougherty assis- ted with activities. Mrs. Maitland Driver, Molly Cox and Norman ! Speir: provided the old tyme music.,; Mrs, Ann .Riley and Doug McNall provided a musical program for "Family Night". ' Ann and Doug are part of a group i who do some entertaining in the area and provide their own guitar accompaniment for'ountry, wes- tern and old tyme favourites. Pearl- Gidley thanked the enter- tainers on behalf of the residents, The Seaforth Women's Insti- tute were hosts for the April Birthday Party on Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Ruth Papple was ' emcee for the program and Pearl Henderson provided the piano accompaniment. There were readings by Mildred Kerr and Dorene Coleman; mouth organ selections by Lorne Lawson and a sing -a -long led by members of the institute, The twenty-five cele- brants were presented with a gift from the institute, Tea and birthday cake were served to over 100 residents and guests. Mrs. Regier expressed the apprecia- tion of the residents for the lovely party. DEAR O.S,: Yes, you are, A 15 -year-old kid should not expect it to be Saturday night in Sioux City every time he kisses a girl. There's a big difference be- tween being kissed by Mom and Dad and the romatic variety. One has nothing to do with the other, So stop worrying and give yourself a few more years, Bub, DEAR ANN'LANDERS: My "special friend" passed away three years ago, He was married and had grown children. I've always held good jobs and paid my own bills, When my friend died, his wife got everything. 'We spent three evenings a week together so she must have known he had an outside interest, The problem: 1 visit this man's grave every few weeks and there is no headstone, I'd like to put one up but no one must know I did it. Is this possible? —Sweet Memories. DEART SWEET: Unless his wife is an idiot she will guess who "did it." Do 'yourself and the man's family a favor and leave his grave alone. If you have some money you don't know what to do with, make a donation to a worthy charity in his name, *** A no-nonsense approach to how to deal with life's most difficult and most rewarding arrange- ment.

I want to take you' a few miles farther west now to the lakeshore town of Grand Bend and a barn -theatre 'that has become known as ,the Huron County Playhouse, A project that has never received the support that it should, the Playhouse had a small beginning but has reached a point where it provides top entertainment, a centre for experimental theatre in Western Ontario. Last year was an unfortunate year for the Playhouse. Grants they were looking for did not materialize and some of the productions had to be cancelled. But they came up with a winning season anyway and in "the show must go on" tradition, they returned this season with an impressive lineup, Hopefully, 1977 will be a blockbuster for them! The 1977 season opens on July 5 with Neil Simon's comedy, "Plaza Suite", It plays until July 9. Opening on July 12 is a production yet to be named. On the 19th, "The Owl and the Pussy Cat" makes its entrance, playing until the 23rd. "Babes in Arms", a musical by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, will run from July 26 until August 6 and opening on the 9th will be "George Washington Slept Here". "See How They Country Playhouse announces season Run" by Phillip King joins the roster on August 16 and the final week, August 23 to 27, one of the season's hits will be repeated. Most of the productions will play for one week, opening on the Tuesday evening. Some will be repeated for a second week. There has been no word yet as to whether the season will include a road tour. This is the sixth season at the Huron County Playhouse and if you have never been there, make this your year to attend. Many people have worked and continue to work hard to see the project succeed; they sure deserve our support. **** For two magical musical hours, viewers were transported to the exotic Polynesian islands as the Grey Central Home and School Association presented its produc- tion of "South Pacific", One of Rodgers' and Hammerstein's best known and best loved musicals, the story takes place during the Second World War when fighting men snatched at every little pleasure of the moment, dreamed about getting home and not always made it. Some of the most beautiful music. Rodgers and Hammerstein ever wrote is in "South Pacific", songs like "Some Enchanted Evening", "Bali Hai", "This Nearly Was Mine" and "Happy Talk". The play . is also a stage manager's dream as there is no limit to the scenery he can produce to depict HAM SUPPER Londesboro United Church Adults, $3.00 WED., MAY 18, 1977 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Children under 12 yrs. $1.25 Preschoolers Free "Take -Out Orders" Sponsored by U.C.W.

' That husband is handsome young Lieutenant Jo- seph Cable (Jim Cox) but theirs is a love story that ends in tragedy. Luther Billis provides the comic relief in the play and in• the war and he was played by Floyd Herman. All combined to make the production an outstanding one, but the singing of Peter Dekker and Bev Eldridge was truly thrilling and the hours spent in the South Pacific, 'where the skys meets the sea', were very far LYEU1 ciu. m.a razaanamalanaaaaso SHOWING 7 DAYSI Wed., May 4 to Tom, May 1001 Frl.•Sat. 7100 and 9100 p.m. 'JI Other Darr at 8:00 P.M. • I By traln, by plane, by the edge of your seat - IT'S THE MOST US SUSPENSE YOUR LIFEI • LP141�t211::Ela F ,.f M .T , ; 1 > p1A'L�cIF--'1frrlst�r,1!U» GENE WILDER JILL CLAYBURGH RICHARD PRYOR I.
