Books. at the Blyth Library THE LONG -ROPE RIDERS BY HARRY BECK Sheriff Ewell Bosworth wanted to Rrevent needless killings whenever possible, but he was no coward •• he could use a gun if he had to use a gun, no mistake about that. It wasn't easy though when the angry son of a dead man was on the trail of the old cowman who had hanged his father. How he succeeded was harder on him than on the men he opposed but he proved his point that every antagenism did not have to be settled by gunfire. ORPHANAGE MISS BY CLARE ROSSITER Amy Clear lived in an orphanage and when she saw the name and address of Charlotte Kingsclear in a newspaper she felt that fate was helping her. After all that was the same name that was written in the Bible, her one childhood possession. Later she was invited to Kingsclear Court but here the mystery about her real family deepened. She discovered that she must rely on her own resources if she was to find the true facts about her parents. THE MYSTERY OF THE NARROW LAND BY ELIZABETH MOONEY Emily Ridgeway was a clear- sighted girl with a knowledge of ghosts and spirits. The moment she entered the house which her family had rented for the summer, she knew there was trouble ahead. The signs were everywhere. Before t long it seemed as though the residents of East Brewton were teaming up with ghosts to get rid of the Ridgeways, MAGIC BY THE LAKE BY EDWARD EAGER Jane, Mark, Katharine, and Martha found themselves with a whole lake full of magic and it took the rest of their vacation for them to tame and learn how to handle it before they found the treasure at the end. Even by the end of their holidays the children thought, that though they'd probably had a fair share of magic, they still hoped for more, NEXT JUNIOR STORY HOUR WILL BE ON JUNE 28 at 1:40 p.m. WeII-known 'Blyth resident dies at 76 RUTH THUELL Ruth Eliza Thucll of Blyth passed away in Victoria hospital on Friday, June 3, 1977 in her 77 year.

Nearly all newspapers editorialize on it. Journalists talk about it in worried tones whatever they meet. The issue that has so many media people worried these days is the Canadian Radio Television Commission hearings into the charges of separatist bias in the Radio Canada French -language portion of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Along with it have come charges that the federal government is trying to muzzle the press, make it into a• propaganda weapon for government ends. It's ironic, that this paranoia over freedom of the press comes at the same time of some of the worst excesses of that "freedom", There have, been irresponsible uses of the press in Quebec to promote separatism and there has, in the past few weeks in Ontario, been a blatant example of how the press in Canada can affect the results of elections, can interfer with the workings of democracy, Few people disagree now with the charge that the media was tremendously unfair to Liberal Leader Stuart Smith in the early stages of the Ontario election campaign. They had decided some months ago that he was a bumbler, like Robert Stanfield in federal politics, and all their coverage concentrated on strengthening that image. Such petty things as having to pay too much (in their opinion) for the beer on the Smith campaign bus, helped keep the image alive, In the latter stages of the campaign, the image began to break down a little, While many reporters still stuck with their old steriotype of the man, some well-respected columnists like the Globe and Mail's Norman Webster began to listen to what the man said and began to build a respect for him because of his honest handling of the issues. Unfortunately for Smith, it was too little and too late in many areas. Despite the fact he came out the only real winner of the election by defeating all adversity to retain his party's strength and take over as leader of the opposition, he lost two of his three seats in Toronto, Toronto is the media centre of Canada. In a huge city where people don't get a chance to get to know the candidates on a personal level the only thing they have to go on is the media treatment of the candidate or his party. Given three unknown quantities would ydu be apt to opt for the representative of a party whose leader had been portrayed as a complete goof? Any hint of criticism by government brings paranoia to the press but it's about time that people in the business of informing the populace learned that freedoms are earned through responsible use. The press needs to clean up its act and police itself against misuse of its power if it wants to maintain its "freedom". We don't need any more examples of just how much damage the media can do to making democracy work. Our voters cautious There are times when one despairs over the value of democracy in choosing the leaders of a country. Nowadays it often seems more important for a political leader to have a dazzling smile than good policies, to have a pretty wife than principals. We talk so much about image and charisma, and so little about qualities like honesty and integrity. It's refreshing, then, to see the results of the election in Huron -Bruce and realize that the voters of this part of the country won't be swayed by the impressive spending of the Big Blue Machine. Last week's election showed people of this riding just how impressive that machine can be. Backing a hard-working, clever man in Sam McGregor, the machine threw a real scare into the supporters of Liberal Murray Gaunt who was held the riding by impressive margins. for the past 15 years. At one point Gaunt was even worried, as the McGregor campaign gained strength. And' it was an impressive campaign by McGregor. A publicity department produced a complete itinery of their candidate's activities, a week in advance. Periodic news conferences were held. Two-colour signs appeared everywhere. A battery of advance men and convassers travelled everywhere Mr. McGregor went. Newspaper ads were twice as big as Gaunt's; radio and television ads three times as often. But in the end, while everybody marvelled at the efficiency of the McGregor campaign, they still went to the polls and voted for Gaunt, They voted for him because he had served the riding well. They voted against McGregor because the government he had represented had dumped ridiculous policies on rural Ontario for years and they weren't about to seem tb give approval to those policies by voting for a Conservative, no mater what he said or how well he ran his campaign, or how much money he spent. The voters of Huron -Bruce proved it takes more than flare and money to make them change their minds. Take notice Pierre Pierre Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, has stated several times in recent weeks that he does not'see the need for a federal election this fall. Nevertheless, rumours that an election will be called continue to circulate, It is obvious that many Liberals, bouyed by the recent popularity polls and by the by-election results and by the disarray of the Conservatives under (or is it over) Joe Clark, think now is the time for an election. It seems like such a sure thing that they could win a big majority and keep them comfortably in power for another four years rather than just two, But remember Pierre, Bill Davis thought it was a sure thing too. Basket full of kitten Letter to the editor The Editor: I was pleased to read of the Theatre Workshop program being organized this summer for Blyth children although it annoyed me that you would refer to two 24 year old women as "girls". Certainly you wouldn't refer to men of this age as boys. This BY KEITH ROULSTON With the success of the two-part probe into organized crime behind them, the C.B.0 reporters seem out for bigger game these days, hunting up the horrible crime in smalltown, Ontario. We had a visit from two C.B.C. men the other day. They pulled no punches, just asked where all the rowdyism was. I'm afraid they got an unattractive view of my tonsils, because my jaw dropped a couple of feet. What rowdyism, I managed. Well the drunken driving and wild noisemaking, they said. I had to admit that I must have missed something because ' I didn't know there war any. Maybe it should be them :filling me in, There's a great deal of mistrust of the media particularly in small towns and it's visits like this one that help it increase. Down the road in Clinton they're about ready to tar and feather any reporter from a big city news- paper or television station who strikes me as an insult not only to the women referred to in the article but to all women of this age. It may seem a small matter to be concerned with semantics although I feel it contributes to a belittling and disrespect of women and in this case of women's work. 1 hope you will keep this in mind in your future references to women. Thank you, VALERIE BOLTON RR 1, BELGRAVE, ONT. ED. NOTE: Consider us reprl• manded. Guess we'll go out with the boys and drown our sorrows. C.B.C. out to uncover small town crime? comes into town because they've caused nothing but grief. Ever since the infamous Stephen Truscott affair, the big -city media has had Clinton branded as a den of iniquity, a Canadian Peyton Place, just scathing under the surface with corruption and hidden violence. That kind of treatment was hauled out again when there was a murder of an elderly woman by a young boy a few years ago. Nearly every story mentioned the fact that it was the second murder in the town in 10 years and all pointed out the comparisons with the Truscott case, Clinton resi- dents, and for that matter Huron county residents, are pretty touchy on the Truscott affair because of the sensational treat- ment of the case and, the attempt to make it seem like a case of bungled backwoods justice. The opinion of the city media doesn't get any better when they encounter this defensiveness on the part of small town people. They automatically think people are trying to hide something. So 1' had the feeling that I couldn't really win, when 1 talked to the gentlemen from the C.B.C. If there was rowdyism and 1 told them about it, then the town would be portrayed as being terrorized by young hoodlums. If, as is true as far as I know, things are pretty peaceful in the town and 1 told them that, they'd just think 1 was hiding something. Either way, you just reinforce the opinion they already had. i must admit I feel pretty uncomfortable talking to big time journalists. My experience has shown over the years that they come in with the story already planned out in their minds and are simply looking for quotes and facts that will help flesh out the piece they're doing, I find myself thinking twice before every word, worrying about how they mighjt turn the meaning to say what they wanted to say, not what 1 wanted to sdy. l don't know if this is a sad commentary on my mistrust, or on the track record of the big -city media.

During Senior Citizens' Week, Ontario is calling everyone's attention to the contributions and needs of our province's seniors. Talent doesn't retire. Senior Citizens have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with future generations. They are enriching the cultural life of the province by participating in every aspect of Ontario's artistic activities: They are also coaching sports, teaching, driving other senior citizens to appointments, assisting them to fill out income tax returns, and serving in many other different ways. Ontario is helping our seniors do things for themselves even while they do things for others. There are over 1000 senior citizens' clubs and 90 senior citizens' centres in Ontario. Special grants and other assistance are enabling older people to return to school and university. Health services, financial benefits, tax credits and alternative types of housing have also been made available to seniors. Brussels 887-6453 A Senior Citizens' Privilege Card entitles them to special privileges at many cultural institutions, tourist attractions, places of business and transportation. Two free booklets, "Ontario Benefits for Senior Citizens" and "Where to Use Your Ontario Senior Citizens' Privilege Card," offer specific information about where and how to enjoy programs and services available to senior citizens.

Minister's Study The Queen's Jubilee BY REV. EARL K. ST. JEAN AUBURN, ONTARIO Loyalty to the crown is often taken to be in dissarray. Resentment is often evident everywhere yet a royal occasion seems to find loyalty to the crown welling up everywhere, Queen Elizabeth has proven that the crown still commands an enviable degree of affection even beyond the Commonwealth. Canada seems to have only one outright royalist yet I would venture the guess that 90 percent of the Canadian people arc loyalist through and through,.One unpatriotic outburst by a CBC personality projected a feeling that resentment was rampant. It should never be taken as fact that two people represent a degree of polarization in loyalty and defection. Too often royal visits arc taken over by officialdom or wealthy as if the Royal Family did not belong to the people. The royal tour of King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth on the eve of WW I is a perfect model and it has never been quite duplicated since. The tour of Queen Elizabeth of the NWT comes closest of all. The odd occasions .when Princess Ann or Prince Charles have mingled with young people have been all too few and have had to rely on royal initiative. Some day we may see that public relations for the Crown are among the most deplorable. It can be seen that the alienation of people from the crown can be traced to the possessiveness of a certain clement. How easy it is for people to lose sight of cosmopolitan affinity of the crown. Queen Elizabeth's coronation procession was memorable because Queen Salute had been cheered almost as wildly as Elizabeth yet this was the subtle nature of the body of nations held together as Empire and Commonwelath. People choose to forget that the Crown has many facets to its purpose and meaning. Huguenots came as immigrants and by the time of William 111 80,000 had conte to British shores and they had established 23 French congregations in London, Somehow people think everything Protestant or loyalist to the Crown has not other origin than theirs. The Crown made the assimilation possible by a gradual process and generally quite smooth and rewarding. The English crown has made it possible for flexibility in the matter of political inventions, The Commonwealth has proven to be a very real political institution though it has little in the way of treaties or alliances. Queen Elizabeth's tour of the U.S.A. as a bicentennial guest should stir our imagination enough to know that George the 111 could never have seen this happening by gazing into his crystal ball. The Crown can adapt apparently surprisingly well. It seems strange to Inc that Queen Elizabeth herself relaxed security nieasitres at the Olympics, It appears Queen Elizabeth docs not see the Crown SO far removed from the people as officialdom is wont to believe. The crown is not an empty symbol but one of substance rather than shadow. The Queen's .lubilee gives us a chance to ask God's richest blessing on our Queen and the prayer that she may reign long and wisely far into the future. God save the Queen!

While the best intentions in the world may not prevent all accidents, immunization can protect your child against infectious diseases. For example, the sugar specifi- ed in a tested jam or jelly. recipe is the exact amount needed for the product to set properly. Remem- ber to measure correctly. If you change the proportions and use less sugar, the jani or jelly will probably be runny. Tinting is also very important. Jams•and jcllics that are allowed to cook longer than, the recom- mended time may forst sugar crystals or be very stiff. It's a good idea to use a clock with a second hand for accuracy. Making jams and jellies is a skill that requires precision. Follow; directions carefully and the. final results will be well worthwhile. JOIN US THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 19 AT 8:00 P.M.

At the track we can watch the men having horse races and I've been to the (rack before, and it's fun watching them having horse races. And Hove Blyth very, very much. Blyth in one hundred years Karen Cook IGr. 4) 1'd Iikc to sec an airport built in the Blyth arca, an airport with a pule long runway and a repair building. It would be, nice to have a good police station where the police are around when you need them. It would be fun to have a park with a lot of swings, slides, a. pool, and a food stand. 1 would like to see a circus every summer, a circus with clowns. We need a car wash that will take ten cars at a time. I hope to see a good food store where you can buy all your groceries, 1 would like to see another arena built for the boys. If they build another arena, the girls could have one for their figure skating and the other one for the boy's hockey: It would be fun to have a movie theatre and a drive-in theatre. A zoo would be nice to have so that people could do more research on animals. That is all I feel Blyth needs. I would like Blyth to have at least those things , even if I'm not around. Why I Like Blyth Brent Brooks [Gr. 41 I like our community bccausc it isn't too big or it isn't too small, We have a nice arena. The air is clean. In the city, some cities have pollution problems.

If I lived in a city I wouldn't be able to meet many people, but since I live in a village I can meet a lot of friends. I also like to live in Blyth because of all the stores.

This year Blyth is having their Centennial. it will be held on July 30, 31 and August 1, and that is why I like Blvth. A Tall Tale -• It Really Happened Gall Caldwell (Gr. 61. In February, 1930, my Grand- father and six other men helped draw gravel for the foundation of one of the stores in Blyth. There was a vacant lot between the stores which are now Madills Shoe Store and Jiwa's Superior Food Market, Jack Jefferon wanted to build a butcher shop. Grandpa and the other men with their teams of two horses drew the graven from East Wawanosh to where the butcher shop and Lloyd Walsh's Barber Shop now are. 'They had to put green limbs under the runners of the sleigh to keep it from sinking into the sand. The steel runners would stick and freeze to the sand if there was too much frost and snow. The roads were not ploughed in the winter so these six teams of horses had to make thcir own path. Two other men helped shovel the gravel on and off the sleighs. They got the foundation finished acid built the store that summer. 1 Years later it was made into three stores, a beauty shop, a butcher shop and Lloyd's Barber Shop. Don Scrimgeour bought the beauty shop along with the butcher shop and made it into a Food Market. All the men who helped draw the gravel except Grandpa have passed away. Tales My Grandfather Told To -Me [Nancy Young Gr. 61 Grandpa was sonic story teller when. it came to how hard they had it at school, He would start with his best season which he could argue upon for hours. Grandpa's best season was winter. Grandpa said if he could see the clothes pole he'd have to go to school, but Dad wanted to know who couldn't see a pole at least six feet high? After that Grandpa would go on about how far he had to walk. He Centennial Continued from pg. 10 said it was about two miles and that we only had to walk two blocks. Grandpa did say that something good about our school was that each grade had their own class which his school never had. He would go on to the easy work we have and the hard work he had. My Dad asked a few math questions and Grandpa soon forgot about school. Why 1 Like To Live In Blyth [Shelley Wasson Gr. 6] Why do I Like to live in Blyth? That's easy, Thcrc is no pollution, there is a creek to swim in plus a wading pool. We have a big back yard to play in and a lot of friends. There are a lot of places where you can go for a hike or camp out. We have a new arena to skate in or have a dance in. We are very lucky to have two wool and suede mills. That is why I like living in Blyth. Tales My Grandfather Told To Me [Kim Craig Gr. 8] "1 remember the time we went to round up the cattle," Grandpa reminisced, leaning back in his chair. There was a far away look in his eyes and 1 knew it was going to be a big one, so I settled down for a long wait. "1t was a nice day for a stroll so the women came along. There was Bill and his wife and my wife. Well, the trip to the bush was peaceful enough (overlooking the fact that Bill was stung by a wasp), but when we got to the bush, the two ladies waited in the Tess dense arca." A sigh escaped nie, but a stern look from Grandpa was enough to keep me quiet. "We got all the cows and calves a'right, but that bull was another case. He was big and ornery as a bear with a sore paw. He must have ducked back through the bush when he heard us coming. Just when we were about to give up, we heard such a commotion and screaming, we came running. We emerged from the trees to see the bull, with a gleam in his eye, snorting and circling a slim, young tree. When we looked further up, a couple of scared women peered down out of the branches. 1 scared away that bull and came back to find Bill helping them down. The funny part of it was, to get down they had to stand on Bill's shoulders, How they ever got up that tree, we'll never know!" Tales My Grandfather Told To Me [Frank Snell Gr. 8] "Well," said Grandpa, "We were on a tradin expedition way out west." "We had just been warned of an injin attack which, so the smoke signal said, would take place in the next few days. "Now it was about Christmas Time, and it was snowing hard, not like it docs around here, no sir, The snow flakes out there were six inches across, two inches wide ,and weighed five to eight pounds. These here snow flakes were so big that only one could fall in so much space, so a man could dodge them. After a while it started snowing so hard that these old snow flakes were knocking 'us off our horses too often. So we figured one of us might get hurt so we found this hidden valley, with trees in it. We searched this valley and found an old log cabin, This cabin was so old, the cracks were filled with dirt and real moss. We knocked on the door, not expecting an answer, but to our surprise the rickety old door creaked open and suddenly a band of injins came tearing over the hill. It was a funny sight to watch them getting knocked off their horses, but it wasn't so funny when they started attacking this cabin. All of a sudden an arrow came right through the window and smashed all the glass. The next sound you celebrated by hear is all these injins whisperin who broke that window, who broke that window? Those poor injins were so scared they all left, so fast they were gone before you could say dop•Pone-!t, "And," said Grandpa, "That was my first encourter with Injins on the war path." Tales My Grandfather Told To Me [John Kuchmistrz Gr. 7] "Children", began grandfath- er again. I realized he was going to probably tell mo another tall tale of his, so I tried to sneak away since my sister had already managed it before he had started. But, alas, he noticed me and said, "Hold on there now youngin' an and march right back here!" "Did I ever tell you about the time dining the second world war when I single-handed captured an entire Naris, battalion?" asked our grandfather. "No, you haven't yet!" I grinly replied. I knew that my entire afternoon would be wasted before this saga of his was ended. "Well, then," grandfather said after lighting his ancient, charred pipe. "It was' in the death cold winter of forty-lour-lorty•tivc", he said while puffing the acrid, white,. tobacco smoke. "I was stationed on the western front; This was during the Normandy beach invasion, boy. Well, we had driven those Nazis all the way back to the Rhine River, but they were still fighting, Oh I recall that there day very well. It was so cold that we wore layer after layer of coats, long johns, shirts and pants. In the morning of that day 1 awoke to the unusual noise of the thundering booms of guns and the rat-a-tat•tat of machine guns and the terrifying moans and groans of dying men. 1 suddenly realized that we were being attacked and it was my job as sole survivor to avenge the deaths of my company. 1 took my machine gun and a couple of others and then started firing them into the heart of the Nazis, battalion, They started to return the fire so I rushed back into my old weather- beaten tent and got my stained, steel helmet.", 1 started looking around and I wasn't too interested and then he shouted "Pay Attention, child and let me finish!" after he realized that I wasn't paying the slightest bit of attention to him. "Now where was 1? he asked himself. "You were at the part about shooting at the Nazis," I replied. "Oh yes! Well as I was saying 1 was, firing at them. These must have been a million of them at least! Well these there Nazis, were so scared 'cause they thought that the entire Sixth army was on their heels so they filed out and surrendered to me. Well that's all for now sonny!" he barked out after 1 had run out. 1 was relieved because his daily fable was at last over. ENTRIES IN CENTENNIAL SCHOOL PROJECTS. POETRY Blyth Through The Seasons [Garth Witttch Gr. 4] I like Blyth for many a reason There are things to do in every season. In spring there are roads to ride your bikes And other places for long, long hikes. In summer when the days are hot We can go to the lake and swim a lot. Blyth in fall is a beautiful place, Leaves just look like coloured lace. Winter in Blytll is really fun, Especially when the snow's begun, And these arc the reasons I did say, Blyth's the BEST place to live any day. young THE BLYTH STANDARD/JUNE 15, 1977. PG. 11. with poems, Nature [ Karen Glousher Gr. 6] One summer day long ago, I stood and watched a lily grow. In the flower there were some bees, Around it were some beautiful trees. Beside the trees ' there was a pond, A beautiful, beautiful, little pond. The pond was filled with swans and geese, That made no noise to disturb the peace. So you see Nature is nice to think about when .you have time. stories Nature (Kurt Whitfield Gr. 6] As I lie in a field of green 1 see, A hawk in the blue sky above me, Looking for a mouse in the grass so green. But through the long grass he can't be seen. Then the sound of a train and the rumbled track Passing by fields of grain and flax. Then the creek flowing down Almost to the edge of town. I guess this is why I like to live here, 1 don't think I could live out there.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/JUNE 15, 1977, Student _poets mark centennial An Invitation to Blyth Centennial [Dave Pattison Gr. 81 We've planned a celebration in our town this year. A big reunion for home folk who've strayed, both far and near. It's a hundred years of living since Blyth came to be, The best town in the country for it's "home sweet home" to me, Oh some may sing of Toronto with its millions great and small. • We may not have that many folks but 1 can count them all, And most of them are friends of mine, great folk everyone; So 1 will sing of Blyth, when all is said and done. Set in great Huron County with • its fields of grain and corn, Our little town is busy, 'till night from early morn. We've mills, both wool and flour, craft shops and thriving stores, A paper, and a printing press, some clubs, and lots things more. We're a busy bustling group here, and when we get up steam We pull along together like a well trained six horse team. Our latest accomplishment, "and 1 don't like to boast" Is, we built ourselves a centre, in a lot less time than most. Altho' it's still in planning, here's what we have in store, A circus, lots of floats and bands and dances, fun galore. The Sunday morning services, chimes pealing clear and sweet, Or if you feel nostalgic, a walk along Blyth creek. So friends, we're getting ready to entertain this year, - _ You may meet old pals, and laughter, shed a sentimental tear. But earnestly, I ask you, if you suffer through my rhyme Come, let us entertain you, you'll have a real good time.

Y is for Youth, they should learn , truth. T is for town, we shout its praise all around, His for Hooray) we celebrate this day. All these letters stand for Blyth. Blyth should win first prize. Blyth [Susan McClinchey Gr. 4] Blyth is the place I know. It is full of love that will grow. When you aren't feeling well Someone will always help you still If you come here. I am sure you will learn Blyth has friendship That they have truly earned. Nature [Helen Thalen Gr. 6] Mother Nature is very Kind, With the animals we find. Here comes the flowers one by one. What makes them grow? The big red sun. Mother has done another good deed, And planted another wonderful seed. Watering lawns 'Water deeply and save water' is the motto for greener lawns and lower watering costs. According to Professor R.W. Irwin of the School of Engineer- ing, Ontario Agricultural College, a lot of water is wasted in too frequent waterings that are too short to allow water to seep deeply into the soil. "Frequent watering results in shallow rooting and crabgrass. It also causes insufficient water reserves that cannot maintain the turf." The best way to encourage deep water reserves is to water in the early morning. Lawns require one inch of water per week. This means one hour of watering to saturate 250 square feet of lawn. professor Irwin recommends using good quality sprinklers to supply water evenly. A tin can should be placed near the sprinkler to determine when an area has received adequate water. Newly -seeded lawns should be watered carefully. "New lawns shouldn't be saturated until the root system is established. Water just enough to allow the grass seeds to germin- ate." For new lawns, high pressure sprinklers are best because they produce a fine spray.

MURRAY GAUNT d Remember him on Father's Day Sunday, June 19- SOCKET & WRENCH SETS INSECT FOGGERS LAWN & GARDEN SUPPLIES HEDGE CLIPPERS ELECTROHOME ELECTRONIC BUG KILLERS SPARLING'S HARDWARE Blyth, Ont. 523-4246 BY BILL SMILEY One of the deepest satisfactions in writing a column of this kind is the knowledge that you are getting into print the angers and frustrations of a lot of other people, who have no recourse for their resentments, and consequ- ently take them out on the old man or the old lady, How do you know this? Well,; because people write you letters cheering you on to further attacks, and other people come up to you, perfect strangers, shake hands warmly, and say "By the Holy Ole Jumpinl Bill, you really hit the nail on the head." This can be a little disconvert- ing, as you arc never quite sure which n 't they are referring to, if the congi. tulator is a woman, I smile weakly and change the subject. Because sure as guns, though she thought you were one of nature's noblemen for your assault on male chauvinism last week, she'll turn on you like a snake when she reads tomorrow's paper, with the column exposing female chauvinism. Speaking recently to a class•of potential writers in a creative writing course, 1 tried to pass along the personal satisfaction one gets from this type of personal journalism. 1 emphasized the "personal" satisfaction because there's a lot more of that involved than there is of the other kind, financial satisfaction. Columnists and free- lance writers have no union working for them, nor any professional association, as have doctors, lawyers, teachers. They have only their own talent and wit and perseverance with which to penetrate the thick heads and thicker skins of editors and publishers. Writing a column But it's a great feeling when you vent your wrath, say, about the rapaciousness of mechanics, and you are button -holed six times in the next three days by people with horror stories about mechanics you can scarcely believe. Trouble is, they all want you to write another column about mechanics, and put some real meat into it. This means, in effect, that they would happily stand in the wings and applaud when you were sued for libel, Some readers would like you to be constantly attacking whatever it is that they don't like. Capitalist friends are aghast when you refuse to launch an assault on capital gains taxes. Welfarist friends think you are a traitor and a fink when you won't attack the government for not providing color TV for everyone on the take. I am not by nature an attacker, and I think there is nothing more boring than a writer of any kind who tries to make a career of being a "hard hitting" journalist. Once in a while my gently bubbling nature boils over. Throwing caution and syntax to the winds. 1 let my spleen have a field day and try to throw some sand in the grease with which many aspects of society arc trying to give us a snow job. And that's one of' the finest paragraphs I've ever written, if mixed metaphors are your bag. Fair game for the hardhitter are: garage mechanics, plum- bers, postal workers, supermark- ets, civil servants, and politicians. Most of them can't hit back, and everybody hates them, except garage mechanics and their wives, plumbers and their wives, etc. etc. Smaller fry are doctors, law- yers, teachers, used car sales- men. They all squeal like dying rabbits when attacked, but nobody pays much attention to them except doctors and their wives, etc. etc. There arc a• few areas that even the hardest -hitters avoid.

CRAWORD MOTOZ CHRYSLER DODGE PLYMOUTH WINGHAM 91010 36.7:.3.862 lets THE BLYTH STANDARD/JUNE 15, 1977. PG. 13. you express frustrations When have you, lately, read a savage attack on greedy farmers, callous nurses, or unloving moth- ers? And yet, there are lots of them around, One of these days, perhaps, one of these hard hitting writers will muster enough guts, after about five brandies, to launch an all-out attack on the audacity of women, thinking they're as good as men, Boy, that fellow will learn what real hard hitting is all about. Personally, 1 can't stay mad at anybody long enough to be a voice of the people, or a public watchdog, or any of those obnoxious creatures who try to tell other people how they should feel. The only constant in my rage is the blatant manipulation of self-seeking politicians who will twist and warp and wriggle and squirm and bribe for self -perpet- uation in office. Best example at the moment is the Tory govern- ment in Ontario, which called a totally unnecessary election in that province through sheer hunger for greater power. Otherwise, i get a great deal more joy from touching the individual life than inflaming the masses. When 1 get a letter from an old lady in hospital, crippled with arthritis, who has managed to get a chuckle out of my column, it makes me feel good. Recently, I got a letter from a young Scot who has immigrated to Canada. He says: "1 have learned more about Canada and Canadians through rei:sdng your column than all the accumulated wisdom from the Canadian newsmagazines, novels and TV programs I have absorbed." Now there is a man with his head screwed on right, If I, as a newcomer, tried to get nay impressions of this country from newsmagazines and TV pro- grams, rd catch .the first boat or plane home. So, I guess I'll just try to go on talking to people, getting sore, having some fun, bragging about my grandboys, looking for sym- pathy in the war between the sexes. That's what life is all about, not plumbers and politi-' cians and other horrors of that ilk.

I am moved by her nobility and good sense. My own mother used her imaginary illness to get attention after I, her only child, married and left home 10 years ago. She carried her complaints all the way to the Mayo Clinic where they were declared "psychologi- cal." Yet she continues to discover new "diseases" and seeks out new doctors to complain to. Mother writes regularly and describes every ache and pain. She repeatedly expresses the fear that the doctors are keeping "the bad news" from her. Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote, "Laugh and the world laughs with you; weep and you weep alone." She also wrote: Talk health. The dreary, never- ending tale Of mortal maladies is more than stale; You cannot charm or interest or please, By harping on that minor chord, disease. Say you are well, or all is well with you, And God shall hear your words and make them true. •�A Los Angeles Reader DEAR READER: Complainers like your mother are just as sick as the person with an organic problem. Obviously, she has needed psychiatric help for a long time. 1 wonder if any of those doctors she has been running to ever told her the truth? This is one of my biggest beefs with the medical profession. When they find no organic problem they tell the patient, "Stop worrying about yourself, there's nothing wrong with you." The truth is there is PLENTY wrong and the patient needs to be told to get psychiatric help. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Our daughter, age 20, has left home to live with an attractive man, age 28. Her mother and 1 have tried to Keep quiet accept the situation although we do not approve of couples living I together without benefit of clergy. We were wondering how a bachelor managed to own such a large home. It now turns out that he is married •• and.trying to get a divorce. He says he intends to marry our daughter as soon as he is free. Surface indications are that he is sincere. Question: They have invited us to come and spend the weekend with them. Should we accept? We don't want to alienate our daughter but I can't help but remember that a few years ago I would have pursued this man with a shotgun. Now -• to be a guest in his home? Hurry your answer, Ann. We are waiting. -- A Cowie of Sauares. DEAR FATHER: Move over and make room for a third square. Tell your daughter and her friend you are not sitting in judgment of their lifestyle, but you would prefer to wait until they marry before you visit their home. Until then you'd be uncomfortable.

PG. 19. 'Tiz Show Biz From a dream to world fame in 25 years by VONN1 LEE One man's dream, that he clung to and worked at until it became reality, has become a world-renowned symbol of top entertainment, highest education and cultural excellance, It's right here in Ontario and it's having it's 25th birthday this month, "The most exciting night in the history of Canadian theatre" was what one critic called July 13, 1953, the night Sir Alec Guinness performed in the title role of "Richard Ill". It began 25 years of drama, comedy, tragedy and music that would be part of a festival that would bring perform- ers and audiences from all over the world. Stratford was a city of 19,500 then in a Western Ontario farming community where no professional theatre had existed for close to 50 years. Tom Patterson was a journalist who had been born in Stratford and it was in his mind that the idea first was conceived for a theatre to be founded in the town that was a namesake of Shakespeare's birth- place. The original plan called for an open-air theatre but this plan was to be shelved when the late Sir Tyrone Guthrie was called in as adviser on the project. In 1952, Sir Tyrone visited Canada and inspected Stratford. He agreed to be a part of the project only if: a star and experienced personnel were found; a closed -in theatre or tent was constructed; and an open state was built instead of the old enclosed type. Guthrie was granted his three wishes but the fairy godmother , did not just wiggle her nose and accomplish the whole feat! Funds were scarce, there were delays and at times it seemed the project would never get off the ground. ' But determination paid. Volun- teers worked around the clock and the theatre was ready for opening night. At the close of the 1956 season, the Stratford Festival an undispu- ted success, the original canvas tent came down and a new permanent theatre took shape. Known then for its ,unique and strange appearance, it would later become known for its spaciousness and marvellous acoustics. Its architect, Robert Fairfield, won the Massey Gold Medal for Architecture in the 1958 competitions sponsored by the Royal Canadian Architectural Institute. The stage, dramatic in its bareness, was . designed in 1953 by Tanya Moisewitsch and Tyrone Guthrie. The original tent theatre seated 1,980 people, the present one has room for 2,258 and because of the unique design, no spectator is more than 65 feet from the stage. A new sound and lighting system was installed in 1971: Orinally the Festival operated on a small summer staff, There is now a permanent year-round staff of 65 and during the active season, more than 620 are on the payroll. In the years since 1953, under the artistic direction of Tyrone Guthrie, Cecil Clarke, Michael Langham, Jean Gascon and the present one, Robin Phillips, all Centennial dresses worn as Blyth U.C.W. holds centennial meeting Twenty-two ladies wore their Centennial dresses to the regular but special Centennial meeting of the General U.C.W. held on June 13 at 8 p.m, in the church auditorium. Mrs. Leslie Wightman, who presided for the entire meeting. welcomed the 50 to 60 ladies present, and opened with the singing of a psalm, the oldest form of church music. The ladic's were reminded of the Selwood Group from Toronto conducting the morning church service on July 17, and the parade of wedding gowns in the church on Aug, 1, at 2 p.m. Mrs. Charles Johnston report- ed that 10 get -well cards, three sympathy cards and wedding congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. John McCallum of Huronview had been dispatched. The Outreach Unit will be catering for the Grade 8 Gradua- tion banquet, and the entire U.C.W. for the dinner in Memorial Hall that officially opens the Blyth Summer Festival. It was moved by Mrs. Gordon McClinchey and seconded by Mrs. Henry Pattison that we send $25 to aid medical students in Nepal. Mrs. Ray Griffiths, the speaker for the evening, entitled her talk, De Ye Mind Auld Lang Sync (Do You Remember Old Times). Her listeners were surprised to hear that Blyth had had a mail robbery once. A Salvation Army member who had, for a time, fallen from grace, was suspected of this crime - no serious crime really • for the bag was soon recovered unopened. The first Methodist Church in the village was built on the location of Irvine Wallace's residence, pro- bably by Mrs. Wallace's grand- father. The first Presbyterian church was built on land which is now the Horticultural Park. The Memorial Cairn was erected with grave stones not removed from the ycard. Years ago the two major women's organizations in the Methodist and Presbyterian churches were called the Ladies' Aid (later the W,A.) and the Women's Mission- ary Society. They with other ladies' groups amalgamated after Advertising::r lets you know what's what. CANADIAN ADVERTISING ADVISORY UOARD - 1925 to become the U.C.W. Country people in very early times walked to church and to Sunday school sometimes as far as four to six miles. Cars came in about 1915. Drs. Milne and Purdue, the Baintons and I3ob McKay were a few of the first owners. Telephones came in h0 years ago, radios about 1920. The streets, first lighted manually by lamps. boasted later of electric lights, but the electric plant in its early beginnings shut down nightly at II p.m. A skit donated by Mrs. Dwight Campbell of Nova Scotia and entitled "A Short Journey Through Time" was presented by the A-1 unit under the direction of Mary Holland. The cast consisted of Mary Holland, Alnia Madill, Adeline Campbell, Isobel Fox, Mollie Grant, Ella Richmond and Melda McElroy. Ladies of 1877 joining at a church meeting with those of 1977 were shocked and sickened by the dress, the speech and the extravagance in the spending of church money, but Wore the meeting closed, they had conte to realize that the 1977 women's movtives and objectives were the same as theirs had been, and the same unchanging God was being worshipped. A Centennial autographed quilt, a project of the C.G.I.T. was on display, and will be displayed in B.J. Fabrics' window. It will -be sold by silent auction. The U.C.W. Crazy Quilt for sale also, was also admired. The floral arrangement on the tea table was in a soup tureen of Mrs. Ketih Webster's, and the three coal oil lamps belonged to Harvey Snell. One silver tea service had belonged to Mrs. Fleming, Mrs. Janes Laurie's smother. It was 70 years old and had. conic from Scotland. The other had belonged to Harold Campbell's mother. After grace was sung. the Evening Unit served refresh- ments. Mrs. George McGowan and Mrs. John Fairservice poured tea. Mrs. Sharon Wittich was the able accompaniest for all musical selections.

Stratford productions have not 1 been limited to that city either. Festival productions have been presented in Scotland, England, New York and on a European tour in 1973, they visited the Scandin- avian countries, Holland, Poland and Russia in the first such tour to be undertaken by an English- speaking Canadian company. They have also toured Australia and in 1967, Canada's centennial year, they made their first coast-to-coast tour of Canada. Productions began in 1956 in the Avon Theatre, a landmark in downtown Stratford. It had undergone several changes in design since then and has added to its roster throughout the seasons. Shakespearean plays were performed on the Avon stage for the first time in 1975, In 1971 The Third Stage was added, a small theatre in the casino on River Drive. This has been the beginning for many Canadian works, the showcase for several contemporary plays and a learning school for actors, directors and designers. The 1977 season at Stratford opened last week with "A Midsummer Night's Dream", one of last year's successes. It was followed by "All's Well that Ends Well" and the one that started it all in 1953, "Richard 111," to be joined later by "Much Ado About Nothing", "As you like it", "Romeo and Juliet", "Ghosts" by Henrik Ibsen, "Miss Julie" by August Strind• berg, "The Guardsman" by Molnar and "Hay Fever" by Noel Coward.
