Billy Meek show coming June 18 every day "The Billy Meck Show" is appearing at the Blyth Arena on June 18. Billy Meck is hosting the show with Al Chcrny as the feature attraction. Billy Meek has perforated for over 20 years in Canada. Billy, "The Jovial Scott" has .gathered thousands of fans from coast to coast for years on the "Pig and Whistle" TV Show. Although TV introduced Billy to a vast audience the majority of viewers are unaware of his many talents; comedian, song and dance man and instrumentalist. Whether in person or on TV, people of all ages enjoy Billy Meek. Al Cherny, the feature attraction of the evening, is most familiar through his frequent television appearances. His major TV debut was on "Country Hoedown" and is now into his seventh year as a regular on the Tommy Hunter Show. Gordic Tapp gave the following quote "i've heard a lot of country fiddlers, both sides of the broder, but as far as 1'm concerned, both musically and presentation wise, none of them can even carry Al's fiddle case. He's the best, let's fact it!" Al is the World Fiddle Champion, Jimmy MacDonald, pianist for "The Pig & Whistle Show", and his orchestra, will provide backup music for the first section of the program as well as the dance music for the remainder of the evening. He is one of the finest in the field of music, and has provided Music of a consistently high quality for over 25 years in the Toronto area. Jimmy MacDonald's music has a tnost satisfying variety, ranging from pleasantly tuneful "Swing" to distinctly rhythmic "rock" and such special dances as the waltz, polka, Latin American, The Alley Cat, the Mexican Hat Dance and the Gay Gordon. Blyth taxes take 20% jump Residents of Blyth- got the bad news Monday night that their taxes will be up by 20.5 per cent this year. Village clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh in presenting the budget for approval said the still rate will incrcasc to 150.46 from 124.84 stills last year. 'there are several reasons for the incrcasc he said. The Administration budget is up by about 52500 because of the cost of painting the town buildings this year for centennial celebrations. Those same celebrations also led to provision in the budget for additional aid to the Centennial Committee should there be, for some reason, a deficit resulting from the celebrations.. The recreation budget is up because of the cost of running the new arena. it is hoped that a new arena board will soon be formed, he said to spread the costs of the arena over the whole community, not just the village itself. The purchase of the new fire tanker Centennial- Parade getting bigger Editorial Pg. 4 Church Pg. 7 Classified Pg. 18 Entertainment Pg. 19 helped take the fire budget from 52,798 to 57,000. There was also a deficit of 53,800 left over from last year. All these added up to an increase of almost 20 mills in the Blyth municipal tax bill. In addition, the county school board levy calls for an increase of more than 10 mills. The county levy, however, actually went down by three stills. Harassed homeowners may be comfort- ed to known that things could have been worse. The initial budget prepared by the villagcl's auditors called for an increase of 40 mills. Council trimmed the road budget and the administration budget and used 55,000 of its reserve fund to keep the mill rate down. In other business, council decided not to act at this time. The mill rates are: Residential public school supporter, 150.46; Commercial 172.87; Separate. School supporter,' 151.83. The total budget for village activities this year will be 5112,653 compared to $99,557 last year. Enthusiasm runs high as the Centennial Committee met in Town Hall on June 1 for a general meeting. Everyone is welcome to these meetings and if you are lacking centennial interest you are encouraged to come out and the committee will do its best to get you in the spirit of things. A program is being drawn up and at the next meeting they hope to have it confirmed for publication. The parade committee report that it is growing to such a mammoth state that more bands are going to be invited. Route plans were discussed for parade and for the arrival of the Lieut -Gov. Pauline McGibbon. Opening ceremonies will include the unveiling of an Historical Plaque presented to Blyth by the Ontario Heritage Foundation. Special invitations are to be sent out to dignataries involved in the opening cermeonies. Anyone wishing advertising placed in programmes may contact Larry Walsh. More plans are still coming in for August 1. The Lions Club is sponsoring a fireworks display and it is to be hoped to have a sing•a-long preceeding this event. It' someone can be found to make a branding iron signifying Blyth Centennial Fred Mote from Bayfield has volunteered to bring his shingle making machine and the stamped shingles could be sold as souvenirs. • A small pamphlet with the history of Blyth, is along being printed. The historic steam locomotive and train will be stoping in Blyth Sunday, July 3 at 10:45 a.m. Everyone should make a point of seeing this piece of history. The Blyth Summer Festival is participat- ing in the program also.

The next meeting will be held in the Town Hall Wednesday, Junc IS. If the chairman of each committee cannot be present will he or she please send a representative so that the program drawn up may be confirmed for printing. Council, Howsons discuss solution to watermain impasse Village council and Blyth Public Utilities Commission are studying a new proposal which may break an impasse reached with one of the village's largest industries. The problem arose last month after Jim and Fred Howson of Howson and Howson Ltd. approached council to tell the councillors of the difficulty of getting insurance coverage for their buildings because of the lack of adequate water supply to feed the sprinkler system in the building. They requested council consider installing a new 10 -inch water main from the pumping station across the river and up Mill Street. Council promised to study the problem. In a special meeting held May 14 (and unadvertised) the council decided to offer the company $4,000 toward the cost of the main and to provide the rights of way but the company would have to pay the rest of the bill estimated at $17,000. Councillor William Howson absented himself from the meeting. The company rejected the offer, Its counter offer was that it would take the right of way, put in the main itself and if in the future the village wanted to hook up with the main then it would negotiate a price. Early in the Monday night meeting with councillor Howson again absent, it became obvious that the council was in no mood to accept this offer. Councillor Howson returned to the meeting shortly before the arrival of Fred and Jim Howson but removed himself from his councillor's position for the discussion because of conflict of interest. During the subsequent discussion he took a major part on the side of Howson and Howson. The alternate proposal was put forward by Jim Howson who said he knew that council was in no financial condition to be able to afford a major expenditure at this time. He proposed that the company could build the water main as far as its building leaving it unattached to the current water main system. If in the future council felt it needed the use of that water main, it could reimburse the company for the cost of the building of the main at today's prices with no interest. He said, and the argutnent was further put by William and Fred Howson, that at present the main would only benefit the Howson plant and as such the taxpayers should not have to foot the bill. But if in the future the main would benefit the rest of the village, that the company should not be stuck with paying more than any other use of the water system. When some of the councillors argued that the situation was similar to someone building a house on a new street who has to pay for all services and gets nothing back if someone builds a house further up the street, the Howsons argued that the homeowner was being asked to pay only for a minimum service, not a service larger than needed but which would benefit another development further up the street. Council for the most part listened to the proposal very quietly taking little part in a discussion of its merits. A joint meeting of the council and Public Utilities Commission excluding Councillor William Howson and Commissioner Jim Howson will be held at a later date to discuss the proposal. In other business, council was informed that all stop and yield signs except those on the alley west of Queen street were now in place. Building permits were issued to Melda McElroy for a storage shed, Don Scrimgeour for a 28 -foot extension to the rear of his business and Bruce Falconer for three houses. PG. 2.

Another bystander chipped in: "Yeah! A gripe a week; that's Smiley," ' Recently a lady wrote from Alberta and suggested she'd noticed a note of cynicism creeping into this weekly epistle. Party of the first part had some justification. For about three weeks in a row I was bitching about my sore back, my dire rear, and my rotten car. Party of the second part was reading things , that were not there. I am not, never have been, and hope I will never be a cynic. A skeptic, yes. I am about as deeply skeptical as can be any man who has been through a depression, a war, a marriage, and several decades of political buliroar. But I love life and people and my native land too much ever to turn into that creepiest of humans, a cynic. Perhaps there was a sharper edge to my bleating there for a few weeks. But despite the flailing blows of life, I am not downcast, dejected, or depress- ed, which 1'11 prove by giving you a lot of good news this week. I don't have either cancer or tuberculosis in my back. All I have is a little problem called "disintegrating discs." It's not at all serious. It merely means you are falling apart in the transmiss- ion system, like an old car that looks pretty good but will crumble into a heap of rust if you give it a good kick, Anyway, I think my d.d's began quite a few years ago, on a deer -hunting trip, when I carried for half a mile a huge hound that some idiot in another hunting party had shot and badly wounded. The dog was almost as big as I was and was twisting and yelping in pain. 1 had a sore back fora couple of years after that. Whatever, I've got the d.d's (better than having the d.t's) and it's not without its advantages. I'm not supposed to lift anything too heavy. The Old Lady has been putting out the garbage since I learned about it, something I've been trying to engineer for years. When she decides to move the furniture around, 1 give a little groan and point to my back. It makes her furious, and she's thinking of trading me in on a later year's model. . As for my dire rear, it's completely ended, no pun intend- ed. Blyth news briefs Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Campbell, Sylvia and Brian of London were guests of his parents, Mr, and Mrs, Howard Campbell on Sunday. Sunday dinner guests with Mr, and Mrs. Jim Scott, Sr. were Mr. and Mrs. Russell Jervis, Clinton and Mr, and Mrs. Dave Jervis and Angela of Seaforth. .Debbie Craig and Nancy McInnes returned recently from a three day sight seeing trip to Ottawa where they represented Blyth Public School at the National School Safety Patrol Jamboree. About 8,000 students from across Canada attended. One of the highlights of their trip was a visit to Rideau Hall where they were received by Governor General and Mrs. Leger. THE BLYTH STANDARD/JUNE 8, 1977. PG. 3. Gripe a week Smiley defends himself Some service station people weren't radiant after reading my remarks about mechanics. But a number of friends and readers who have suffered severely at the hands of the modern-day high- waymen assured me I was right on, Some other good things have happened, 1 got my income tax return into the post office three hours before the deadline, a new record, It cleaned me out of every spare nickel I had, but that's an annual occasion. So we eat bread and beans for a month, They're good for you. By the time this appears. I'll have been through the annual agony of going through a hundred eager applications for one English teacher's job, and the nauseating business of playing God with young people's lives will be over again. I've practically caught up on my marking, by ignoring the hockey playoffs and sitting at the kitchen counter with -a pencil in one hand and coffee in the other. I counted today, and there are only a hundred and twelve essays, short stories and bits of drama to mark, That's almost home free. But perhaps the best thing that's happened to me in a coon's age occurred last Friday, l had foolishly made an appointment with a nose specialist in a neighbouring city. 1 don't know why. I must be getting dotey. That's a perfectly good nose. It's rather badly bent here and there, and I can't smell anything. But if I ever have to resort to spectacles, it will be an excellent nose on which to rest them, Well, as soon as the word got around, the horror stories began coming at me, One guy swore they used an electric drill to bore through the bone and gristle of noses like mine. Another, who'd had a nose job for sinus trouble, contributed, Huronview residents entertained Mr, Dick Roorda led the Christian Reformed Song Service on Sunday evening with vocal duet numbers by Sharon and Carol Van Den Berg and instrumentals by Cathy and Steven DeBoer. Mrs. Elsie Henderson was pianist for the service with devotions by Rev. Van Den Berg. Mrs, Marion Sholdice was welcomed to the Home at Monday afternoon's program. Old Tyme music was provided by Marie Flynn, Lorne Lawson, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner. The Clinton Christian Reformed vol- unteers assisted` with activities. The residents were entertained on "Family Night" with a puppet show, "Ik o Strings Attached". The theme of the show was the story of Jack and the Bean Stalk and was directed by Cheryl Smith assisted by Richard Keelan and Denny Garcia. The Huronview Auxiliary had a very successful spring tea and bake sale on Wednesday after- noon. Senior Citizens week will be from June 19th to June 26th this year and the residents are counting on seeing a number of their friends and relatives. "Worst pain I've ever gone through in my life. He (the butcher) didn't do up the nose from outside, He slashed through my checks, inside my mouth, and went up from there. Dreadful!" Two other birds who'd had nose jobs just shook their heads gravely and winced, when 1 pressed them for details, Needless to say, I was a bit white and skittery when the old girl and 1 got in the car and headed off last Friday. I was hoping the car would break down, as usual, Dam' thing ran like a top. X-rays under my arm, I crept up to the reception desk and announced myself, so faintly the young lady made me repeat it. "Oh, Mr. Smiley, the doctor's out of town for the day. You were supposed to be here yesterday." Seems that the local doctor's office, when my wife called to check on the appointment time, made a beautiful boo-boo. We stood there in front of the nose man's receptionist with vastly different visages. My wife was furious, mouthing at . me silently, "You coward, I'll bet you're glad." 1 don't know why she'd think that unless it was because 1 was grinning like an idiot child. We made another appoint- ment, but it's not for a month. I'll think of something.

Pot calls kettle black Progressive Conservative Candidate Sam McGregor has earned a lot of respect and admiration in the past few weeks through his top flight campaign for the June 9 election, He just blew some of that respect last week, however, with one of the stupidest charges of the campaign. Mr. McGregor has turned the whole P.C. organization around in this campaign from the pathetic mess of the last election to a high-powered machine this time out that leaves Liberal Murray Gaunt's campaign looking flat by comparison. But in his aggressiveness Mr. McGregor, (or perhaps his stress people, got carried away last week. Mr. McGregor cried foul in a press release last week when he charged the federal Liberal government with interfereing with the provincial election by sending three cabinet ministers into Bruce county. The ministers, toured the riding for a day, in what they called a chance to listen to the grassroots. Now leaving aside the fact that the Liberals claimed the tour was planned long before the provincial election was called (and have a letter dated in February to prove it), this has got to be one of the best cases of the pot calling the kettle black in some time. It was Mr. McGregor, for instance, who marshalled the premier and two other cabinet ministers to a press conference just a couple of weeks ago to announce a $100,000 study on the 'use of waste heat from Douglas Point. That kind of study is often announced by deputy -ministers because it isn't big enough for the minister (even one minister) to be bothered with. Yet the Conservatives asked us to believe t that the election had nothing to do with the study. Then there's the case of Conservative cabinet ministers flying around the province to personally deliver Wintario cheques and Wintario is supposed to be non-partisan. Moreover, probably the best help Mr, McGregor could get in the campaign would be for the entire Federal cabinet including Prime Minister Trudeau to spend some time in the Huron -Bruce riding. Mr. Trudeau is only slightly more disliked in the area than Bill Davis. No, Mr. McGregor, you strained your credibility just a little too much on this one. The voters of Huron -Bruce just aren't that stupid. A small town is... A little town is where you don't have to guess who your enemies are. Your friends will tell you. A little town is where few people can get away with lying about the year they were born. Too many other people can remember. A little town is where people with various ailments can air them properly to sympathetic ears. A little town is where, when you get the wrong number, you can talk for 15 minutes anyhow. A little town is where the ratio of good people to bad people is something like 100 to one. That's nice to remember. A little town is where it is hard for anybody to walk to work for exercise because it takes too long to stop and explain to people in cars who stop, honk, and offer a ride. A little town is where city folks say there is nothing to do, but those who live there don't have enough nights in the week to make all the meetings and social functions. A little town is where everyone becomes a 'neighbour' in time of need. A little town is where those same businessmen dig deep many times to help with countless fund-raising projects. A little town is where many teenagers say there's nothing to do and they are surprised to learn that their big -city peers are saying the same thing. A little town, when all is said and done, is a nice place to live. We've changed How much do things change in 25 years? It's often hard to see change unless you've got a landmark to judge it against. With the celebration of the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth this year, we have that landmark and we can clearly see how Canada has changed since the Queen ascended to the throne. Perhaps the biggest measure of that change is the way the Jubilee is being celebrated in Canada...or rather the lack of celebration, Twenty-five years ago the coronation of a new queen was a big event in Canada, marked by all kinds of interest on the part of the average Canadian and many celebrations. This year, while the celebrations go on in a big way in Britain, the event passes quietly in Canada. Oh there are a few school ceremonies to mark the occasion but on the whole there has been little planned in the way of celebrations and most people don't seem to have noticed, or cared, The importance of the role of the Queen has dimmed in 25 years because Canadians have become more aware of their own identity. Separate from Britain and from the huge neighbour to the south, the United Sates. The battle led by men like former Prime Minister Lester Pearson to build a national sense of identity has, in a way worked. Yet it's ironic that just when Canadian self-awareness has reached new highs, the very future of the nation is endangered by the election of a Separatist government in Quebec. It's ironic too that two of the events that have done most to build national pride in Canada: Expo '67 and the Olympic Games took part in Quebec. Perhaps it is the threat to the country that has done most to draw Canadians, real Canadians who care about their country's future, together. Yes, a lot of things have changed in Canada in 25 years but some things stay the same.

You have enabled the Clinton Branch to reach and surpass its objective by 18 percent. Under the campaign co -leader- ship of Leen Rehorst, Chester BY KEITH ROULSTON The election is almost here and by Thursday night, no matter what the outcome, most voters are likely to take a giant sigh of relief and say "at last." Somehow I think the majority of us feel a little bit like that guy who put up the sign in Toronto or somewhere that said: "Don't vote. You might encourage them." One can get a migraine headache after listening to what seems like hours of back-to-back election ads over the radio, often with the same candidate telling you over and over again what a nice guy he is. It's enough to make you want to vote for the N.D.P. because they usually don't have the money to buy expensive advertising and thus they leave us in peace. Ah . but the election has it's good moments, the little lighter moments that help relieve the sheer boredom of it all. One of the amusing things is the reaction to polls. John Dicfenbaker°of course once said polls were for dogs but that was likely when he down in the polls. Politicians regard for polls seems to shift from not believing in them at all when the polls are unfavourable, to almost as sacred Archibald and Mrs. Helen Dav- ies and their excellent team of volunteer canvassers, the Clinton Branch are to be congratualated on attaining as of May 30th a remarkable total of $6,890, This great achievement combined with the other Branches in Huron has enabled the Huron County Unit to exceed its 1977 goal of $35,000. A most important point to consider is that this fine job was done on a voluntary basis which enables the Cancer Society to continue its successful campaign for funds at a cost of only five cents for each dollar raised, This five cents covers the cost of campaign posters, films and canvass kits, Sincere congratulations to all who have made this record possible, • This helps to improve the cancer survival rate. Further- more it is the kind of dedication to a cause that will some day beat it altogether. Sincerely, Ross McDaniel, Campaign Chairman, Huron County Unit, Canadian Cancer Society. Contridictions make election interesting as the election results themselves when the polls are favourable. Take for instance the current polls. When Bill Davis was way out front in the polls, they were justification enough for him to call the election and were very important indeed. The Liberals and the N.D.P. on the other hand professed not to believe in the polls. Last week things shifted according to a poll taken by the Toronto Star. Suddenly it showed the Conservatives still out front, but headed for a minority government and the Liberals, who everybody had counted out early, coming in second, Sudden- ly the polls were inaccurate for the Torics and the Grits thought they were great. How times change. Some of the amazing flip-flops of policy are interesting too, Take down in the Windsor arca where all the party leaders have come out in flavour of that French language high school while all the local candidates are going against party policy andagainst the school. Around here it's interesting that all the Conservative Candida- tes are trying to make inroads into what has long been Liberal -party policies. They are promising to save hospitals and keep out regional government and keep the bureaucrats out of farming and all those same things that have managed in recent years to get the Liberals elected locally in a reaction against the policies of Bill Davis, Then too there's the strange twist of party policies. The Progressive Conservatives have for years been more Progressive than Conservative with Bill Davis' answer to any problem being another department and 1000 - more civil servants. Under Stuart Smith, who looks to academic and tready you'd almost expect him to be for the NDP, the Liberals have become the new conservatives, calling for help for the small businessman, keeping small town government strong and doing away with regional governments. The NDP has watered down many of its socialist policies to try to attract the middle class vote in Ontario and now sits somewhere not too far to the left of the Conservatives and quite a piece from the Liberals who were once thought to be much closer to them than the Tories, Ah well, things to change in the wonderful world' of politics. Wonder where the parties will stand by the time the next election rolls around.

JEAN, AUBURN This title astonishes people. One sees' them dig their heels in and get ready for battle, The reason is, I expect, that we think of the vast investment in youth; schools, sport facilities, recreation programs and the transporting of children, etc. But that is not the essence of childhood. The main thrust here is the postponement of life -worth -the -living in childhood, Children are always urged to grow up, to mature, to get through their teens as one does measles or mumps! They must list achievements a mile long or crawl back into the woodwork! The first reaction is: But what is so wrong with childhood now? Look around you, One cannot deny that we have an end result in mind; getting the child into the work force and being productive, This is much like taking meat and stuffing it into a sausage mill because we are sure we will end up with sausage. That is deadly because it breeds impatience with childhood, Again, protest will be evident, not so much by words as by the change in countenance. Suggest that the next time you hear someone complaining about the rat race they are in and if they want to escape they really have not been living because life -worth -the -living has not to be put off for a more leisurely existence. Then, say to that person, eyeball to eyeball, that he learned to postpone living in childhood, Life•wortii•the-living isn't in sport. Spectator sport and athletic box office spectaculars are there as escape from the rat race. Can they really change the features of the rat race? Peak performance is demanded. Competition is sharp and losing is tolerated at a decent ratio. Success is the only criteria and failure is intolerable. Touch up that tombstone for the 'late' Bobby Orr with the bum knee! Our age is two faced. One moment we sing the praises of work and productivity and the next the supreme value of leisure, Culturally we are at the crossroads, and we can't make up our minds. Play is planned, organized, supervised and educationalized. It is not a sense of joy just for being alive. W.H. Davis caught the mood in Leisure: What is life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare? No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see in broad daylight Streams full of stars, like skies at night. No time to turn at Beauty's glance And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile hereyes began. Ah poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. The awe and majesty of just being alive has escaped us in childhood. A second reaction is: Childhood is being researched and studied by thousands of people and you say it's misunderstood! Yes, research of a kind and for different ends. The child perhaps but not childhood as the foundation of manhood. This is in contrast •to fitting into society/ employment or citizenship. What is the essence of childhood and its undisputed role? Statistics tell us that the average family is 2.4 children. The .4 is often used for crude jokes...and that is what it is. A child or childhood is measurable as .4! This 2.4 is a drop and it means adjustment in schools and agencies. Scaling down will take: place rather than upgrading quality in schools and other agencies. Manipulation of entities as fractions fits into political necessity or expediency. Childhood is not given any real place in the mainstream of our culture. 11 is by accident that Ann Frank has a status as author. Teens are not people. Childhood is an insult inflicted on the adult, Scan a newspaper and see if there is really any reality in childhood. Princess Margaret as a child attended church with her family. After church she said to her mother; "He prayed for Daddy, you and Elizabeth. He didn't pray for me and I'm just as bad as you are and need it as much." 1 think we cut off the people we pray for once they don't fit into an adult scale of values. Childhood nceds.its own bill of rights. Just because children have no political clout they have no rights. Women will testify to the fact that militancy is almost imperative. The Mennonite Church in Scottdale, Penn. worked with John M. Drescher in preparing a book: 'Seven Things Children Need.' These are listed • as: Significance, Security, Acceptance, Love, Praise, Discipline and God. This type of thing has to be a basic birthright and society has to put its heart into implementation far beyond any devotion to education or recreation. Far beyond. Giving childhood a place in the sun of its own is necessary or children will remain sausage. A childhood worthy of the name would possibly put our adult life in a better light. It is possibly an unfortunate phrase which has given childhoodauunnecessary devaluation. This ... I put away childish ways. Other translate: 1 gave up childish ways. I see this portion of Corinthians along with Isaiah 55. That makes a three fold transition: childhood, manhood, godhood. These distinctions are there for the normal path of development and not otherwise. Here then is a better perspective: When I was a child, I spoke like a child, 1 thought like a child, 1 reasoned like a child, when 1 became a man I gave up childish ways, 1 Cor. 13; 11 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55, 8, 9 0 Highest Heaven help us to understand the nature of every stage in life as a joy of being alive!' May we see life always as life -worth -the -living.' May childhood have its own true purpose! It's own bill of rights. Amen. THE BLYTH STANDARD/JUNE 8, 1977, PG. 7, T15;iSh0Ut1 r: Program popular though unattractive BY VONNI LEE On Tuesday, March 29, "The Fifth Estate" showed a fantasti- cally interesting, but gnawingly disturbing dramatic program that may have disgusted some viewers but almost certainly moved many to tears. It showed the painful struggle lived by those people with facial deformities and the new modern techniques being used to correct them, The CBC, on which network, Fifth Estate appears, conducts regular viewing surveys that show how many Canadians watch their shows, For many years, Hockey Night in Canada, while it is in season, has made every other show, Canadian and other- wise, take a back seat. That particular week, "The Fifth Estate" was second on the list, - with a total of 2.11 million viewers. The enjoyment index was rated at 84 points on the scale from 0 to 100. "The Fifth Estate" is an immensely popular and informa- tive series. Items from the series have been purchased and shown in Italy, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Austria, Germany and England so foreign countries are also enjoying it, though not necessarily the "About Face" episode. *** Little Dolly Parton has always had a big head of hair. Now she just has a big head! The little Nashville gal, who would probab- ly not have made it anywhere had it not been for a guy named Porter Wagoner who recognized some talent in the whiney little -girl voice and put her on stage to sing duets with him, has gotten a little too big for her britches lately -in more ways than one! Seems Dolly's many country - western hits have made her think she can hit the big-time. She promptly fired everyone in Nashville that helped make her a country -western star and is headed to Hollywood where she is certain she will make it big. She even fired her Nashville agent and has hired a Hollywood agent to get her bookings there. Well, perhaps 1 underestimate the power of country music and , the talent of Miss Parton, but methinks the girl is in for a bit of a surprise. She is hardly Vegas night club material, nor is she hardly multi -talented as female stars have to be these days if they , intend to get anywhere. She had better remember that Hollywood is not Nashville; that teased hair and tight pants went out in the 60s and that nothing is gained by tramping on other people's toes. Perhaps she'll make it but she'll lose a lot of her old country music fans, the fans who made her ' successful. Maybe she doesn't care about them anymore! *** In Toronto, one of the CBC's most popular musicians, Joe Niosi, died last week after an eight-month illness. He was one of the brothers who began as a quartet, John, Bert, Eugene and Joe, Joe and Bert became the best known and most popular, Bert forming his own band. Natives of Sicily, the brothers' parents settled in London, which also takes credit for being birthplace of another famous bandleader and his brothers, the Lombardos. Joe was the fun -lover of the brothers. He played the bass fiddle and considering his size, it seemed fitting! He gave you the impression that he had a heart as big as the body, tool Joe was 68 when he died and had been . playing on the CBC since the 1950s. JOIN US THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 12th AT 8:00 P.M.

Theatre workshop program offers opportunity for youngsters Kirk Grayson and Beth Shier who will be teaching the children In the Children's Theatre Project in Blyth this summer examine some of the props they could be using for their work. BY DEBBIE RANNEY Blyth children will get a taste of what it's Tike 10 be involved in theatre work when a children's workshop project is held here this summer. The Children's Theatre Project is being co-sponsored by the village of Blyth and the Ministry of Culture and Recreation which gave the village a $2,000 grant for the project. The idea for the project came from Jini Schaefer, playwright and director ‘vith the Blyth Summer Festival and Larry Walsh, village clerk. Jim has hired two girls tot ake over the task of directing the children in their workshops. Kirk litto Grayson 24, has just completed her fourth year of Acting at Ryerson and Beth Shier, 24 has just completed her first year in the 'technical i'roduction Pro. grans at Ryerson. Kirk v.ill be doing improvisa- tion, mask techniques, working vvith script and directing of the workshops acting as the workshop guide. Beth %yill be the master builder teaching the chidlrcn how to build . ets, background lighting and other things. Kirk v.ill also be giving them a couple of make-up lessons. Jim said they would like to sec mostly children from the Blyth Community participate in this, TO RUN THESE ECONOMY.MINDED USED CARS 1976 Cutlas, 2 door hardtop with air conditioning. 1976 Cutlas, 4 door sedan, with air conditioning. 1976 Dodge swinger, 6 cylinder, automatic 2 door hardtop. 1976 Dart, 4 door, 6 cylinder automatic, power steering. 1976 Impala, 4 door hardtop. 1976 Chrysler, 4 door. 1975 Dodge Coronet, Station wagon. 1975 Chev Impala, 4 door hardtop with air conditioning. 1975 Ford Ltd. 4 door sedan 1975 Cutlass, 2 door. 1974 GMC Van. 1974 Pontiac Le Mans, 4 door sedan. 1974 Dodge Monaco, 2 door hardtop with air conditioning. 1974 Chev, 4 door sedan. 1974 Dodge Monaco, 4 door station wagon. 1973 Dodge Buick La Sabre, 2 door hardtop. 1973 Dodge 11/2 ton.

'there will be two workshops a day with 12 children set up in each workshop. Children, ages 9 to 14 may participate. There is a $10 registration fee for the summer to cover the production costs since the grant which was given to the village only covers the salaries of the employees. The grant starts June 27 and goes to August 20 but the workshops themselves start July 4 and go to August 17. What this project is going to accomplish is hopefully to give the children some ideas of their own. Co-ordinator Jim Schaefer said that when this project ends, the children are going to have it together enough to do it on their own, He explained that they weren't trying to teach them to be actors and actresses but to give them experience in what the theatre's all about. Kirk thought it would give the children free expression. "I have always found creative, imagina- tive workshops very free and personal. It's an incredible experience for the kids if they're allowed to be free," she said. Beth agreed saying, "There's a lot of awareness and creativity that comes out of it," Jim Schaefer has held child- ren's workshops in Blyth for the past two years. These were only held on Saturday mornings but Jim says the problem with that hwas that he didn't have enough time to devote the energy needed to do the workshops, He felt that by getting the grant and thus enabling him to hire two girls for the summer to teach workshops every day of the week, the children would get more theatri- cal experience. Kirk got interested in the theatre when she wag involver' in a theatre workshop very similar to this one. In Saskatchewan after high school, she decided to pursue theatre as a career. Her main interest is acting. Beth who has always been interested in acting was in high school plays and took a couple of summer workshops in acting. She went to Glendon College, got interested in the productions and even directed one, After that she decided to get serious about her career so she went to Ryerson, She is especially inter- ested in the technical side of things. Children interested in getting involved in the theatre workshops this summer can contact Betty Battye at the Blyth Public School who is handling registrations, Jim Schaefer for Larry Walsh. c 0 Walk, jog, run, skate, ski, swim, paddle, pedal .. . don't let life catch you with your head down.

You suggested they make the visits a history session •• to interview their grandmother and make tapes to record "living history," That was a terrific answer, It should be implemented as a high school history class project, all over the country...a la Alex (Roots) Haley, Because my parents listened to their grandparents, I had a first-hand account of the Civil War, life in Western territories and life in an Indian missionary station. Because my father's grandparents listened to THEIR parents and grandparents, my family has a living link with the American Revolution. At 90, my father is a repository of persona- lized Americana. When I taught junior high students, I urged them, especially those who descended from turn -of •the -century immigrant families, to talk with their elderly relatives, What a rich resource they had, and what tremendous contribu- tions their families made to this country! Sad to say, many of these children looked on their aged relatives with contempt. (Our culture could certainly learn from the Chinese.)

DEAR ANN: I am a 22 -year-old girl with a serious problem. It began when I was 15 pounds overweight and trying to diet. 1 started by forcing myself to vomit if I ate something that made me feel guilty. That was a year ago. Now I gorge myself until nothing fattening is left in the house. Then, 1 force myself to vomit. I do this about four times a day and can't stop. I told my best friend who has a minor weight problem. She laughed and said, "Will you teach me that trick? It sounds neat!" God only knows what it's doing to my insides!

MADILL'S SHOES, MEN'S & BOYS' WEAR "The store with the good manners" CLINTON DRY CLEANERS PICK UP AT MADILL'S ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY Business Column An electrifying situation BY JIM SMITH in the midst of the universally heralded energy crisis, it comes as some surprise to learn that Canada's energy suppliers con- tinue to function in blythe ignorance of this disaster. How else can one explain pricing policies of the nation's electric utilities that reward extreme consumption of this increasingly rare and vital ener- gy? Several decades ago, when there was, in most parts of the country,, sufficient water power to generate far more cheap electric- ity than the nation could use, the utilities devised a pricing scheme to encourage greater consump- tion. Small-scale consumers were charged a base rate per kilowatt hour; as consumption increased, the cost decrease. Ultimately, the energy -hungry major industrial users ended up with by far the cheapest rate per unit of electricity. The electrical supply situation has changed dramatically in recent•years, of course, For the most part, Canada's hydro potential has been exhausted. Additional electricity means con- struction of coal, oil, or nuclear generating station all, of them very expensive to build and enormo,isly costly to operate. The basic engineering fact of electrical life, however, is that Canada has far more generating capacity on hand right now than we need for the foreseeable future - except for some very brief periods during the day when demand jumps sharply. These brief periods of extra demand are called "peak periods" and the electric utilities plan their capac- ity to meet the peak demands, not the average demands. And what causes these peak periods? A few very heavy users of power. The same firms that get the lowest rates because they use the most power. Or, to put the matter another way, the users who are responsible for the highest cost's pay the lowest prices. The small users of electricity - both smaller firms and house- holds - pay much more for electricity than it costs the utility to provide it. The big users pay less than the cost. The logic may escape you. Certainly it escapes,the Canadian Business which is currently intervening in an Ontario Energy Board hearing concerning pricing by Ontario Hydro. The C,F.I.B, argues that power users should pay the cost of their service. Not only should the subsidies for major users be eliminated, but these users should be charged higher rates equal to the cost of providing their electricity. The Ontario Energy Board decision will shape pricing policies of virtually all Canadian power utilities. And the major power users have allied to mount a strong defence against loss of their privileged position. But the real issue is nonnegoti- able, In an age when energy is increasingly vital and increasing- ly rare, Canada simply can't afford to reward excessive use of this precious natural resource.
