"-Police said, at a news conference held Monday, that the DeJong brothers had been involved in an altercation outside The Bavarian Inn, a Bayfield tavern with Mr. Bullen's son Terrence Jr„ 20 and four of his friends. Det. Insp. M.K. McMaster of Toronto said that the DeJongs followed the younger Bullen to his home near the harbour- in Bayfleld on a secluded lane. Education cost • increases explained The Huron County Board of Education met with about 60 elected and appointed officials from around the county to try to explain the complicated reasons for the 18 percent budget increase in 1977. Superin- tendent of Business Affairs, Roy Dunlop tried to explain the budget in laymen's terms to the audience consisting largely of elected officials and despite reaching a few municipal clerks, seemed to cloud an already muddy picture. Dunlop said he had tried to simplify the budget and presented a set of comparison figures based on the 1976 budget to help explain things. He pointed out that the entire budget was a "horrendous" 20 -page document sent to the ministry that would completely escape everyone in the room if it was used for the explanation. He said the minis,ry requires a very complicated procedure, for setting up the budget when calculating the grant structure and cost sharing adding that it required all of his department's expertise to handle the chore. The budget riled the majority of municipal officials because of the increase their municipality faced due to the budget hikes. The board passed the budget in ' March after the budget committee ' explained that it faced an 18 percent increase in expenses this year. Among those expenses was construction of a school in Exeter, re-establishing a reserve fund for more financial security, correcting an underlcvy from 1975 and paying expenses for construction at Victoria School in Goderich. Dunlop said the increases could easily be broken into percentages. He said nine percet of the increase was in regular expenses, four percent covered the use of $200,000 in reserve funds from last year, two percent covered the Exeter school, one percent the Victoria School and two percent covered the underlevy. He said the reason the board had to make up for the costs this year was to ensure that the budget wasn't artificially decreased as it was last year. He said the use of the reserve funds and the underlevy kept the tax rate down but meant the board was basing its calculations on artificial base, a base that disappeared this year with the reserve funds. He added that the budget was bare bones explaining that if the Anti -Inflation Board went out of business and the teachers in the county sought more money than the AIB allows the board would be in dire straights. He said the budget allowed for salary increases to the AIB maximum and, with no reserves couldn't accommo- date more than that amount. Exeter deputy -reeve Cy Simmons said he was discouraged by the board budget pointing out that the entire audience was elected officials and should be more concerned with halting inflationary trends. He said the public blamed labour for inflation adding that he knew of no labor settlement for a 23 percent increase. "If they're the cause of inflation where does that leave us," he said. Continued on pg. 5. shooting The police said that both DeJong brothers were shot twice in front of the Bullen hone with bullets coming from a .22 calibre revolver which has been recovered.

The Progressive Conservative Party brought out all its bigguns in Toronto for a news conference in Toronto which built up excitment to a fever pitch in the Kincardine area because some major announcement was expected. What resulted was rather anticlimactic although from the -way the local radio and television reported it, one would think it was a blockbuster announcement. It took Premier William Davis, Agriculture Minister William Newman and Energy Minister James Taylor to announce that a study costing $100,000 would be undertaken into the feasibility of using hot water from the Bruce Nuclear project to heat a massive complex of greenhouses and a fish farm in the Kincardine area. To listen to local radio reports. one would think the project was ready to start immediately. Only in the last line of the news item does the word "study" come into it. It is, however. the most important word. Many are the studies announced. Few are the projects that actually get off the ground. Not that it isn't a good idea. (We can hardly argue against it because we had said several years ago that the excess hot water from the plant should be used for such a purpose rather than pumped back into the ,lake to cause problems there.) There is a huge waste of energy from the station now in the form of water used to cool the nuclear plant: Mr. Taylor said it will amount to the equivalent of three million barrels al oil a year. Mr. Newman translates that to mean up to 700 acres of greenhouses could be heated a year, which would mean a doubling of the current capacity of the Ontario greenhouse industry. It could mean growing many fruits and vegetables in the winter which we now must import and could be a real boost to the Bruce County economy. For that reason, let's hope this is more than just another election gimic. Mr. Taylor said he was "reluctant" to announce the study now because people might take it as an election vote grabber but it's hard to make his reluctance jibe with the fact that it took so many party bigwigs and so much public relations hype to get the announcement made. All that aside, let's hope the study goes ahead and the project begins. We can use some common sense use of energy. And if it works, maybe we can work a similiar arrangement to make use of the excess hot air that is wasted down at Queen's Park. There should be enough for another 700 acres of greenhouses at least.

Winter residents such as sharp - tailed grouse, ringnecked pheasants, grey partridge and whitetailed deer are attracted to marshes be- cause of the cover provided by rank growth of cattails. Additionally, seed from plants such as the bulrush will provide food for game birds and smaller birds such as the snow bunting. Voles take advantage of the soft blanket of snow which accumulates in marshes, tunnelling among the plant stems for food. The presence of these rodents in turn attracts their predators, the owls, weasels, and mink.

We visited the gentleman in his blacksmith shop on Tuesday afternoon and found him reclining in a rocking chair, probably just wondering what he was going to do when this week was out, for after that he will be commencing a well-earned rest, having sold his business to Mr. Harold Phillips, who takes possession on Monday. Married 50 years ago on Feb. 3, Mr. and Mrs. Wni. Robertson celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary at their home on Saturday. The celebration was postponed until now because members of the family were unable to make the trip home in February owing to inclement weather. The firemen are busy disposing of the salvage which has been collected thi Spring.

Board of Education tries toappeaseangry Continued from pg. 1 Howick . Reeve Harold Robinson suggested that wages were the main reason for the increase ,pointing out that the board had to make a decision to stop the increase somewhere, He compared the salaries toa farmer's plight suggesting that farmers take what they can get for their cattle when they go to market, He said that possibly the teachers should be prepared to take what they get when salaries are negotiated either that or the board say "that's it" to the teachers, Board vice-chairtnan, Marian Zinn said she felt not all the teachers could be branded with the same stick. She said 85 percent of them don't know what they're contract otters are until it's time to vote on it explaining that only a few, most of whom are on the negotiating team, are aware of the requests, She said the committee this year would be looking closely at class size and subject material when negotiating the contract and asked if the politicians and ratepayers would support the board in a strike situation. Goderich clerk, Harold Walls said he was going through this exercise for the second time having accompanied his council to a special board 'meeting once before to discuss _ the budget, He said he was made aware of the problems facing the board when they drew up the budget adding that the increases to the THE BLYTH STANDARD/MAY 25, 1977. PG. 5. municipal officials municipalites can sometimes be deceiving. He said he went back over the Goderich budgets over the last few years and discovered that while the Board of Education requisition goes up annually in dollars and cents the percentage increase does not change that much, He said the board requisition and the town budgets can be compared using about four sets of figures and each comparison would have a different result. "There's no one given answer", said Walls. "It's a very, complicated procedure." Several officials conceded that the board could do nothing about this year's budget but said that it certainly could do something about next year's. The bulk of the budget -about 70 percent, is used for wages and the board could give some serious thought to evaluating its admin- istrative and instructional staff with the intention of perhaps reducing the amount of staff, Board chairman, Herb Turkheim said that salaries were a touchy thing at this time of year since the negotiating teams were in the process of working out 1978's contract. He said the board could not divulge any information on the proceedings now but shared the concern of taxpayer's and officials that education costs are going up annually, COMM 100 SUMP SISAIANA FIFA! 1 i(CIIµAVINA18MINAId '11IWI41'llllNI•IIIIl'.11fAVOW ILNOI 11,0111111,01111AI,AIN'•' ICLI Ilul�l NI • ANII 111'.0 Ipfd% SUPER SISAIAIIA FIBRE GUARANIEEG ,1il39t8 169II; p44A01.4E1GNT pEp BAIE GROSS 4016.

Government announces study into hot water use Premier William Davis and three cabinet ministers announc- ed plans Monday for 5100,000 study on a project to heat greenhouses and a fish farm in the Kincardine area, The plan would be to heat the greenhouses and fish farm, using waste warm water from the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station. Although the decision to go ahead with the project will not be made until the study is complete, Energy Minister James Taylor hopes construction can get started in the spring of 1978, Taylor said that if the project at Bruce works, the same idea could be applied to other generating stations. The idea of the Bruce project is to provide heat at a lower cost for the greenhouse and fish farm operators. Agriculture minister William Newman thought other green- house operators would now want to move to the Kincardine area because of the smaller cost, He said that it costs about 530,000 to 550,000 per acre to heat a greenhouse with conven- tional fuel sources. Mr. Newman thought" the - project would increase Ontario's production of its owh vegetables. "I can see us getting into production in a big way with all kinds of familiar vegetables we don't normally grow in green- houses right now, for example, lettuce, radishes, peppers, egg- plant and melons and cauliflow- er," he said, Mr. Newman thought that heat -producing operations run at a lower cost would make the! operations more competitive. Natural Resources Minister' Frank Miller thought that the heated water mixed with the normal water supply would make it possiole to produce fish year-round at a temperature ideal for fish growth.

This Valleys.must become the wave of unemployment is concentrated the future, among the young and the unskilled. For the first time, unemployment is reaching into the homes of the well-to-do; the sons and daughters of the wealthy are as unemployable as every other youth. What will happen to the newly graduated social workers? What will happen to the newly graduated teachers? What will happen to the newly graduated teachers? What will happen to the newly graduated history experts? The answer is the same: nothing. Though there's a shortage of skilled labour, there is no significant demand for new administrators, teachers, or members of the traditional white-collar circle. Eventually, society at Targe is going to recognize the obvious truth: our education system simply isn't preparing young Canadians for the realities of modern life, There is no point in training our youth fgr jobs in big institutions when big institutions can't absorb them. Interestingly, the most practic- al approach to the current situation is being applied to a bunch of social drop -outs at Twin Valleys Community, a project of Ontario's St. Clair Community College. The students at Twin Valleys are what society usually calls "drop -outs". It's equally valid to say, however, that there was never any place for them to drop in to. Canada has never taught self-reliance to young people so it should not be surprising that, faced with a need for independ- ence, the young arc unable to cope, Twin Valleys teaches self-suffi- ciency. Students grow their own food, construct their own build- ings, and learn about contempor- ary, people -oriented technology like solar energy. By the time they leave Twin Valleys - often . only a few months after arriving - they have learned skills that make them readily employable in the But there's an irony about the success of Twin Valleys, Even while we continue to pour dollars into university courses to teach skills that can never be applied in our economy, these children, the outcasts and rebels of modern society, are receiving first- rate practical educations, Sooner or later, the upper and middle classes will recognized that the education system is ripping them off, Learn howtodo-it- yourself jght incur store.

Township of Hullett 1976 Financial Statement To: The Members of Council, and Ratepayers of the Corporation of the Township of Hullett, We have examined the 1976 financial statements of the Corporation of the Township of Hullett and its local boards, which are listed on the attached Index. Our examination included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of accounting records and other supporting evidence as we considered necessary in the circumstances. In our opinion these financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Corporation of the Township of Hullett and its local boards as at December 31, 1976, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted for Ontario municipalities applied, after giving retroactive effect to the changes referred to in note 6 to the financial statements, on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Teacher pact approved by H.P.Separate Board BY WILMA OKE A settlement was ratified Wednesday by the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board and its 159 teachers, The, agreement, subject to approval by the anti-inflation board, specifies a 5,5 percent increase on the salary grid, and a five percent increase in responsibility allowances. Added to the benefit package for the first time, is extended health care insurance and a dental plan to. which the board will contribute 90 percent of the premium cost, The group life insurance plan has been up -dated to provide employees with coverage at one and one-half times their respective earnings. The contribution to this benefit and to OHIP will remain at 80 percent and 90 percent respectively. Teachers required to use their own vehicles for transportation from school to school have been granted an increase from 18 cents to 20 cents per mile. The new contract also provides for an increase in the accumulated sick days from 200 to 220, as well as two days special leave without loss of pay for urgent personal reasons, subject to approval of the Director of Education, The new salary grid :ranges from $8,825 for level one teachers with no experience, to $23,395 for teachers who have achieved level 7 with twelve years experience. The average annual salary, including increment, will increase from $15,731 to $16,975 for the contract year 1977.78. This represents an increased cost to the board of $213,425 for the school year, for the board, I feel it puts the Huron -Perth Separate board in a favourable position regarding the benefits offered to our teaching staff, as well as an attractive grid for future employees." Mr. McQuillan said "As chief negotiator for the teachers, I feel that the settlement reached is very fair and equitable under the present economic conditions. the negotiating team was very pleased with the manner in which the new agreement was reached: "I must congratulate the board's negotiating team, and in particular, Mr. Vincent Young for his honest and openness in negotiations," Mr. McQuillan concluded, BLYTH LIONS "BINGO" Tuesday nights Blyth & District Community Centre (Auditorium) 8:00 p.m. Jackpot - $300. lin 50 calls reducing by $10.00 each call -minimum $200.00 must go) 12 regular games - $15.00 3 share the wealth games Admission - $1.00 LION AND LEGION Blyth Minor Sport Financial Statement October 1, 1976 to May 15, 1977 Receipts: Cash in bank Gate receipt Hockey registration Donations -Legion Lions Others Hockey sticks Refund tournaments Gate receipt -House League Tourn.

Having been "chunky" for most of my life, 1 can see her point of view. One of my best friends starves herself and has all the symptoms described, I often wonder if these "fashionably svelte" people will have healthy (if any) children. I have dated guys who picked on me about my weight and urged me to lose. (They wanted to walk around with a fashion model on their arm and impress their friends.) It wasn't until recently that 1 realized that if a guy doesn't like you the way you arc, and you lose weight, he will find something else to complain about, Big boned, and Normal For Me at 140 lbs! Interesting Two sidesof the fat question DEAR BIG BONED: Now that you've had your say, let's hear from the other side of the peanut gallery, DEAR ANNN LANDERS: After 21 miserable years of being overweight, I decided to quit making excuses and do some- thing about it. I spent several months as a Weight Watcher and finally got myself down to 110 pounds. (I started at 150.) That weight loss actually changed my life, I can go swimming, wear shorts, boots, anything 1 want. What's more, I am 500 per cent happier and feel so much more energetic since I shed the fat. So -- after all the work, what kind of reaction do I 'get from friends? Nothing but complaints. They tell me I look undernourish- ed •- ready to die, my bones are showing, etc. Why don't the fatsos who choose to stay that way just SHUT UP? 1 am proud of my accomplishments, Sign me -• 110, .5'2" And Happy for the Rest of My Skinny Life. DEAR HAPPY: It' you are in good health, energetic and pleased books at the Blyth Library PARADISE BY PATRICK DENNIS After Acapulco had suffered an earthquake, a storm and a few landslides, it became like an isolated island with an extraordin- ary group of people living on it. To compound the situation• there were+two of the most cynical and unscrupulous television produc- ers ever to squeeze commerial sensation out of human peril. Though purely fictional it is written in such a manner as to seem almost true. From this setting Dennis has produced his most original, ambitious and successful novel since Auntie Mame. PISTOL BY ADRIENNE RICHARD When Billy Catlett was four- teen he signed on as a horse wrangler at a local ranch in Montana. On his wild pony, Sundance, he would ride hard across the plains and earned the nickname of Pistol. Then the depression came and his family had to move on to the town of Deal. Here Billy decided to strike out on his own and Pistol is the stury of his growing isolation from his family. ABBEY COURT BY MARCELLA THUM. Ever since childhood Mcg O'Brien had heard about Abbey Court, the great Irish estate with its mystery, romance and history. After her mother's death, Meg left America to seek out the truth of this famed spot. The results of her findings provide a fine talc of romantic suspense filled with the lore of Irish history and the colour of Ireland in the late nineteenth century. CAROLINA'S COURAGE BY ELIZABETH YATES Carolina and her family lived in old New Hampshire, There she learned to love the farm and its surroundings but most of all she loved her doll Lydia -Lou. One day her father decided to take his family to new land in the West, so they loaded what they could in a covered wagon and set out. Luckily there was room for the doll. The trip was long and hard and one day they met dangerous Indians. Here Carolina had to show courage and make a very difficult sacrifice. ±JLEU1 '±O}TOME Complete dispersol of all 1977 colour TV's at Dealer Cost plus 10% to cover carrying and shipping costs #Invoice shown upon request.

McCUTCHION PG. 16. THE BLYTH STANDARD/MAY 25, 1977. BY BiLL SMILEY This is a time of year when a lot of school teachers get a sinking feeling. All year they have been laboring in the fairly 'barren vineyards of their students, sustained by the knowledge that there is still time to produce a green shoot or two, and maybe even enough grapes to make some' kind of brew, Suddenly, there are only 16 teaching days left, and there is the dreadful realization that they have exhausted all their skills, and that it had about as much effect on Susie and Joe as would a bucket of water poured over a seal, It just doesn't stick. Thus, when they should be looking forward with anticipation to end of 'term and summer vacation, many teachers find themselves instead in a veritable Slough of Despond. It is the students' perennial belief in miracles that puts the teachers onto anti -depressant pills about now. Aside from school work, adolescents arc not dumb. They are quite aware that education these days is a sociological jungle from which they have a far better chance of emerging unscathed than do those poor devils who try to teach them. They know in our enlightened society, "failure" is a dirty word, and that everyone from the Minister of Education, through the school board, down to their classroom teacher, will do back flips trying to avoid pinning such a label on them. Many students know perfectly well that they can goof around most of the year, play truant, miss assignments, be late with essays, ann notning very terriule will happen to them. In fact, if they go around looking serious and sincere for the last few weeks, and do a little work, there's every chance that they will scrape or scramble through, only to repeat the whole process the next year. Wingham O.P.P. During the week May 16 - 22, officers at Wingham Detachment of the O.P.P. conducted 26 investigations. Forty-two charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act and 47 warnings issued. Eigh charges were laid under the Liquor Licence Act. During the week, there were five motor vehicle collisions which caused an estimated $3800.00 in property damage and injuries to three persons. On Sunday, may 22, glen B. McLean and a passenger, Yvonne Blake of R. R. 2, Brussels received minor injuries as a result of a single car accident on James St. at King St. in Brussels. Also on Sunday, May 22, Paul O'Neill of R. R. 1, Wingham was driving his motorbike in a field when the vehicle struck a bump causing O'Neill to fall off, breaking his ankle. Advertising.- helps you compare. CANADIAN ADVERTISING ADVISORY BOARD It's that time of year again Born and raised in a society where it is no shame to accept charity, because it's now dignif- ied as welfare, where unemploy- ment insurance is a cosy cushion against adversity, where their aged parents will be looked after by the state, where the work ethic is scorned, where the semiliterate hockey player or pop star is not only idolized but rich, the kids are not going to get their shirts in a knot over something as apparent- , ly irrelevant as doing well as school. And let's not blame them too much. Let's take a look at the world we're passing on to them. it's a world strangling -drown- ing in its own poisons, created by the greed of past generations. The kids see the greed and the poisoning going right on. Small wonder they arc a little cynical about some of the virtues such as unselfishness and the golden rule, It's a world in which the rip-off is admired, on the whole, They see unions ripping off manage- ment, management ripping off the consumer, everybody trying to rip off the government. So why not rip off the school system? It's the biggest sucker of all. It's a world in which the media pander to the bizarre and violent. The hijacker, the terrorist are overnight sensations. Is it naive to suggest that these are responsible, to some extent, for the bomb warnings, and the incredible vandalism in our schools? it's a world of drugs. The old man has 'his drinks every night and gets smashed on the weekend. The old lady has 18 different kinds of pills. Why not run away from reality by emulating them. It's a world in which the daily Ann Passchier joins Natural Resources Wingham Staff A third year Geography student, Anna Passchier, is gaining experience, while spending fourteen weeks of her summer vacation, working for the Experience 77 Program, in the Wingham office of the Ministry of Natural Resources. Anna, age 20, resides on a farm near Blyth. She is studying at Western University again this fall for her fourth year. While at Wingham, she is under the supervision of the District Manager, W. Dan Mansell. At the Ministry of Natural Resources, according to Joan Hackett, who interviewed Anna, she said "I will be collecting background information and doing research for future land use planning in the Wingham District". She is using "The Southern Ontario Strategic Land Use Plan" text for a guide, which her new outline is to correspond with. Later this information .will be compiled into a booklet form. Anna will be in contact with County Planning Departments, and Conservation Authorities. The different areas that Anna will be researching are: Natural Setting, People History, Natural Evaluation, Natural Resource, Development and Use, Services, Problems and Users. Anna is very enthusiastic and feels she is gaining experience in this field of work, even though at times tedious parts occur. DO IT YOURSELF! CLEAN YOUR CARPETS... THE PROFESSIONAL WAY.
