Come home for the Blyth Centennial July 30 August 1, 1977 Jim Schaefer as Mr, Doyle and Jack Blum as Gerry are seen in a Anne Roy from a novel by local native Harry J. Boyle. Preceding scene from A Summer Burning, the opening presentation at the the opening op Friday will be a turkey banquet. Tickets are still Blyth Summer Festival on Friday night. The play is adapted ,hy available both for the banquet and for the opening night. Two top county officials resign Huron County council accepted the resignations of two of the county's top administrators at Friday's council session and instructed clerk Bill Hanly to advertise for their replacement. County engineer Jim Britnell announced his departure from county work and Huron medical officer of health Dr. Frank Mills left to go to Sudbury to head the health unit there. Britnell made his resignation effective August 1 and will take on the post of manager of Business Air Services in Goderich. Mills made his resignation known to council after a special meeting of the health committee during council's lunch break from its day long session. The county engineer happened to be in the council chambers when his resignation was announced and was asked by Warden Doug McNeil to explain his reasons for Too little time, special section postponed The Standard was scheduled to carry a special section this week in honour of the third annual Blyth Summer Festival. Unfortunately, there were just too many other events going on in the community in the past few weeks leaving too little time for proper preparation and too little space in the paper for the section's inclusion even though extra staff has been added to the summer months. The section will appear in next week's Standard, leaving. Mills was not present when council learned of his decision. The departure of the two top administrators didn't seem to upsets council collectively. The respective com- mittees asked council for approval to advertise the positions and replace the men as soon as possible. The resignations mark the second and third department heads to leave the county in the past six months. Bruce Heath, former head of the Children's Aid, bid council farewell at the May session. Britnell said his decision was not made in a hasty fashion. He said he had considered the situation for some time and pointed out that after 20 years in the sam job some of the challenge had worn off. He said it was a "long time doing the same type of thing" and that when he looked 16 years down the road to his retirement he felt it was time to get out. The engineer said that his decision was also based on his job requirements. He said that when he faces the paperwork now associated with his job and has to deal with tit, environmental aspects of his work and the many procedures necessary he remembers how easy it was. He said he felt you "couldn't teach an old dog new tricks" and that he didn't want to accept the new ways. He said the same may be true in other fields but he wouldn't know how it used to be and wouldn't be aware of the new job's problems. "A new engineer won't know how it used to be and won't mind the work as Much as 1 do," he told council. "It's time for me to move on and give the county the benefit of a new man and a fresh outlook o things here." Britnell did not leave on a sour note and told council that after 20 years his decision was a "gut wrenching" one. He said it was almost like giving up one's child for adoption but added that working as county engineer in this part of the province was a lonely job since the work load did not permit an assistant and the only other people he could turn to for advice were his counterparts in neighbouring counties. Mills said he had nothing but platitudes for the county when he ended his six year tenure as medical officer. He said he has lived in Huron for many years and likes the county a great deal but pointed out personal reasons had alot to do with his decision. He said he had a fishing camp in the north he_ operates in the summer and that his new job will permit him to be closer to that. Mills took over as medical officer in 1971 and prior to that had practiced medicine in Goderich since 1956. He said he felt it was time the county got the benefit of change in his office and that he was a believer in people reaching a certain level of efficiency and then moving on. Britnell touched on the san... angle when he told council he felt he owned it to the county to resign. He said the challenge had worn thin and that his motivation was at a low, "For my good and yours it's time for me to leave," he said. Summer Festival opens Friday The third annual Blyth Summer Festival opens Friday night with a premiere production of A Summer Burning by Harry J. Boyle. The Festival began with a two -play, four-week season in 1975 and has been growing steadily ever since. This season will see it present four plays of its own and host a two play, two-week visit from Victoria Playhouse, Petrolia in mid-july while the Blyth company is on tour in Petrolia. The Friday night opening will be followed on Monday with the opening of The Blood is Strong, by Lister Sinclair, a reproduction of the hit show of last summer. It tells the story of the struggles of Scottish pioneers in Canada, During the tour to Petrolia, the Petrolia theatre company will be housed in Blyth producing the plans Man With A Load of Mischief, a light-hearted musical comedy and Artichoke, a contemporary drama set in a small prairie town. On returning from the tour, the Blyth company will present Jim Schaefer's Blyth Memorial History Show on July 27, a look at the history of the Blyth community, including a lot of fun, a few facts and all kinds of fun characters. The final production of the season will open Aug. 9. Called The Shortest Distance Between Two Points, it tells about the struggle of a small town against big government. Another part of the Festival will be an art display which will open Saturday night and be on view throughout the summer. Among those artists featured will be Bev Katzin, Jo Manning, Mona Mulhern, Jack McLaren, Ron Walker and Michael Ward. There will also be a music concert and productions of the play Turkey for children. Steam train coming Sunday Blyth residents will have a chance to step back into their own past on Sunday when an unusual event happens. The C.P.R. steam locomotive 1057 will be passing through Blyth Sunday at 10:45 a.m. It will make a stop at the old C.P.R. station to take on water and let people have a good look at it. The engine was built in 1912 and recalls the time when the railway was one of the most important facets of local life. The trip is part of an excursion to link Guelph, Blyth and Goderich, all of which are celebrating anniversaries this summer. Blyth business sold One of the oldest businesses in Blyth will change hands on Monday. Stewart's Grocery, owned for more than 30 years by Jack Stewart will leave his business on July 4. The new owners of the store are familiar to Blyth having grown up here. They are Brock and Janice Vodden, presently living in northern Ontario but will take up residence in the former home of Mae Dexter. \ PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/JUNE 29, 1977. Board of Education buys special hearing equipment The Huron County Board of Education agreed Thursday to purchase a $1,025 phonic ear hearing aid for a kindergarten student in Turnberry Central Public School. The board approv- ed the request made by the school principal after superintendant of education Don Kenwell explained the reasons for the board's involvement. The child has a profound hearing deficiency and according to Kenwell the device will allow her to continue to reside at home and attend the local school. The other alternative is to attend a special school for the hearing handicapped. Kenwell said he has a letter from the Robarts School for the Hearing Handicapped recom- mending the use of the device. He said it is not a normal hearing aid but consists of a receiver worn by the student, a transmitter worn by the teacher and a special power supply that can be recharged. He reported that the ministry of education verified that the equip- ment is classified as personalized special education equipment and is subject an 85 percent ministry grant making the board respons- ible for about $150 of the total cost. "I believe the student's welfare would be better served by the purchase of this device which would enable her to continue in her home setting rather than a residential setting at the Robarts School in London," said Kenwell. He added that the grant portion of the purchase was not available if a private organization or parent bought the device. He suggested the board make the purchase and assign the device to the student for as long as required provided she continues to attend a school under the jurisdiction of the Huron County Board of Educat- ion, Dorothy Wallace, trustee for Goderich, pointed out that the board had to pay no matter what route it took. She said it could help the child stay at home or it couldrefuse the purchase and foot the transportation costs for the child to go to London, The costs are for two trips a week. John Cochrane, director of education, said that the ministry would like to see the child remain in Turnberry as part of its overall philosophy to leave children in schools rather than "cart them off to an institution". Chairman Herb Turkheim ask- ed Kenwell if he had approached a service club on the matter pointing out that quite often they are more than willing to sponsor such a project. Kenwell said he had preferred taking the route he did first since he did not relish the thought of going to a service club and having them suggest that the matter should be handled by the board and possibly criticizing the board unduly. Colbourne Trustee Shirley Haz- Iitt asked if it wasn't possible for the board to use the 85 percent ministry grant to help parents in similar circumstances. She said the board could make a purchase of a similar device and then collect 85 percent grant from the province and the remaining 15 percent from the parent. R.J. Elliott of Blyth said he wouldn't like to see the board set a precedence by suggesting that it would be willing to purchase corrective limbs or other such things. Students at Seaforth District High School found out first hand this year what it is like to manage and operate a cafeteria. The students were so successful at running their own high school cafeteria in accordance with the Huron County Board of Education policy that they ,earned a net profit of over $3,000. Superintendent of Education, R.E. Smith said last week at the board meeting that he was impressed with the amount of practical experience that the students received. and the Im- proved quality of food made available and purchased by the students. Due to the students' success, they decided that the principal of Seaforth District High School should be granted permission under Board policy to provide for the management and operation of the school cafeteria until a change is requested.

For years growth has been the measuring stick of success in the Western technological world. The more we produced, the more we consumed and the more things wc had, the better off we were. Happiness and the Gross National Product were synonomous and the only time Canadians were ever challenged on this slavish devotion to technology and growth •- for the two go hand-in-hand -- was ooeasionally from some church pulpit whcn we were reminded not to lay up treasures on earth. Even this had a faintly hollow ring as materialism grew. Now it appears that technological growth .is almost at an end. Our earth has once again become finite. Resources, particularly fossil fuels, are running out. Despite what all the technocrats (who arc fast replacing democrats as the government of Canada) under Sp tell us, gn►wth is not a natural and God-given right. J. Tuze► Wilson, director-general of the Ontario Science Centre and one of Canada's hest known scientists, said recently that it is "quite incredible that economists and leaders of government have failed to recognize that petroleum is a limited resource that should be husbanded like capital. "Instead they have encouraged its squandering as income so that now, like a rich young man who has squandered his inheritance, we must look for another way of making a living." Now we are being forced, perhaps too late, to recognize not only that we have squandered the earth's resources, we may well have exhausted them. Limits to growth may force us to find an economic system based on values and ethics rather than those of economics and growth. What Dr. Wilson and others arc saying is what is said in the Bible. We must be stewards of the creation. There arc limits to the land that can be cultivated. There is a limit to fresh water supplies. There is a limit to what heat the atmosphere can absorb. There is a limit to what pollution aur environment can handle. To face the reality that our world is fragile and finite may be the first step in forcing our leaders to change their ideas and accept limits. Then we can begin solving our problems, acknowledging that growth is not the ultimate goal for humanity. • Contributed. Just think, only 4 months ago we didn't know it could be thls hot :. ;;• ani I'm a Canadian, damn it BY AL LCBLANC Co-ordinator, Media Resource Centre, Sault Ste. Marie Separate School Board With the recent provincial election in Quebec which saw the Parti 'Quebecois cone into power, alot of comments have come my way asking how i viewed the situation. Initially comments such as, "When arc you going to change your name from LeBlanc to White?", "Arc you going to claim dual citizenship when Quebec separates?" or, "Have you applied for your Quebec passport yet?" were slightly amusing and very witty, but it madc me stop and think about just who I was and where I fitted in the makc-up of a nation called Canada. I find that I have some potentially difficult things to consider as my make up is part "French", part "Irish" and the rest comes from who -knows -where. Therefore, I decided, and quite some time ago by the way, that if I was to be a "Canadian" and nothing else or nothing less. Right away I can hear comments that there is not such animal as a "Canadian". But there is and there arc millions of them. About 22 million and still growing. The problem of lack of recognition from such a phenomenon is and has been for a long time the failure of our institutions and people in general to recognize that in this land there arc numerous intertwined threads which hinds us together as a group to be labelled Canadians. These threads have come from all parts of the world at varying times and in varying degrees. However, once they have arrived in Canada they have not madc any real efforts to become "Canadian" although the physical environment alone should have been enough to encourage them to do so. The problem with the above is that what first came over is certainly not what one would find if he were to go back today, after a couple of hundred years, to the point of origin. England is no longer the power she once was, yet people in Canada still cling to the "British way" with a colonial attitude quite prevalent. France is also radically different today as a result of the French Revolution and its subsequent history. It must be remembered that the "French" in Canada arc rooted back into the days prior to the French Revolution and that the revolution itself changed little in "French Canada" although it had a profound effect back in France. I'm not advocating the American idea of a melting pot, where after a period of time we end up in a giant soup, but rather i like the concept of the '.'Canadian mosaic". I am not asking people to deny their soils or cultural background; simply 1 am asking that you preserve them in • such a way that they will support and encourage a distinctive sense of being as a Canadian first who happens to have a variety of origins for his make un. 1 feel I have been able to do that without denying my background and I feel all the better for it, because in all honesty 1 cannot see how I could be labelled anything but"Canadian". What is a "Canadian" you ask? A Canadian is someone who appreciates and respects the unique qualities which, when put together, gives a group of people as sense of identity with a physical landmass labelled Canada. Some of these qualities are 10 individual provinces and two territories with unique regional flavors of their own. Two founding cultures, not countries, with two.distinct languages. It also has a unique system of governments which has evlolved as much as a result of the physical configuration of the country as they have for its political make up. writer says n nas Its Maim. 1..af flag, Its hockey, its maritime music, mind music from each region across the land. It has long undefended borders, its unique wildlife and vegetation, It has its Farley .Mowat, Pierre Berton, Margaret Atwood, F. R. Scott, Ken Danby and Yosuf Karsh, It has the CBC, English -French, it's CFL, CPR, CNR and a military establishment which as played a unique and distinctive role in world wars and lately for the United Nations. It has Mell Hurtig, Stompin' Tom Connors, Cardinal Leger, Gordon Sinclair, Peter Newman, Marg Osborne, Moe Kauffman, Gordon Lightl ot, Oscar Peterson, the National Ballet, Canadian Opera Company, the Stratford Festival, the Calgary Stampede and on and on. Lock at the polical history of Canada. The Bennetts, the Lauricrs, the MacDonalds , the Duplessis, the Smallwoods, the St. Laurents, the Diefenbtikcrs, the Pcarsons and yes, even the Trudcaus andlevesqucs. All of the above and much much more arc all part of that intangible quantity called a "Canadian". You can no more prove what a "Canadian" is than you would an "American" or an "ITalian". A "Canadian" is a sense of mind which lends a. air of identity to the • individual. This identity comes from input and reference points which have evolved in his lifetime as a result of his physical environment and contacts with institutions which designate his standards of education and livin g as well as his cultural make up from his own family background. Put together these factors shape his into a unique individual first and secondly a unique "Canadian". Both our institutions and wc as individuals have failed to recognize and acknowledge the existence of the "Canadian". This lack of sell' -recognition has been probably the greatest single factor which has contributed to disharmony within our nation. 'I'hc individual has clung tenaciously to the roots of days long gone and irrelevant in today's Canada. These roots arc valuable for study and understanding of who we were, but they should not be the prime mover telling us what we arc today. They should help us decide what we arc and what we would like to be. Our institutions have failed miserably in giving us a sense of identity as a Canadian people. Witness the flag debat, the "mc -first" attitude of individual communities, regions and even provinces. Doesn't anyone think of Canada first? Even our federal politics are region or province -oriented in. nature most of the time. Our educational institutions from the lowest to the highest levels have failed miserably in teaching "Canadian Studies". Teaching things like who are wc, and -where we come from, and what makes us so unique. Maybe part of the reasons for education. being so lax is a result of other sectors of our society not recognizing themselves as Candians first. But the educators arc often thc,writcrs of our history and they have approached their task in this arca quite often with blinders on! I am to the point of nausea hearing people proclaim that'thcy arc "French•Canadian", "English -Canadian", "Polish -Canadian" "Italian-Candadian • and so on. tt you must use nypnenated labels and identity then put Canada first! 1 would much prefer to hear someone proclaim that he is "Canadian -French", "Canadian•English", "Canadian -Polish", and "Canadian -Italian" or, better still, why in hell don't they just s y they are "Canadian" and take it from there? People from Canada have been looked at as being great fence -sitters - and compromisers and maybe the use of hyphens is undeniable due to a sense of insecurity, but I really don't believe this is the way it must be. It is time "to stand on guard for thee, 0 Canada". 1 will stand for Canada first and Abe counted as such, and 1 am, and allays will be proud to say, "Damn it, I'm Canadian and proud of it".

BLYTH MEAT MARKET Blyth 523-4551 Don Scrimgeour, Prop. 89c From the Minister's Study Freedom to serve BY REV. EARL K. ST. JEAN, AUBURN Many events in history are in the name of freedom. It is a word that is on everyone's lips yet few of us take it to mean a very limited or unfree freedom. From time to time men have said that freedom was commitment and not wild misguided behaviour. Political freedom requires a form of partiotism which is demanding and far from leaving everyone to his own designs. Kennedy gave us a pointed phrasing: Ask not what your country can do for you but whay you can do for your country? It is a restatement of this free to serve position. Freedom does not mean free of responsibility. It means more often than not a -really firm commitment of a set of ideals. It does not free one from voting or caring about the commonweal. We are not free of economic necessity: trade and commerce, We are not free of social structures and our debt to the past or heritage, We are not free of the responsibility of facing the crises of the future, Freedom does not spell escape from responsibility but much more often an assumption or acceptance of responsibility. Freedom is an interlocking of responsibility and privilege. No one can accept the privileges without the responsibilities. Freedom mean that folk must alway be busy building the community. Every community requires love of certain values, a desire for the services which make community life inspiring and prepared for the challenge of change, We find groups of every kind seeking support for one form of service or the other. People seek sensitivity, supportive attitudes and understanding for the misfortunes of others, Our community needs protection in the form of police and fire protection or of life and limb, This means that freedom is really freedom to serve,..not self-indulgence. Freedom does not mean independence or disengagement from the common lot. One cannot be free and divorced from the community. Dickens portrays this process with Scrooge. As Scrooge grew wealthier he became more and more disengaged from the community, He ended up in the vision of things to come by a community of cynics and self-seekers, To be free one must be bound and captive to the common destiny to be a better life for all and all of the time. Freedom, then, is something hard to spell out but we can be sure that it is not independence; indifference, isolation, self-will, powere, pleasure, affluence, arrogance, status or selfishness. Making sure that our freedom is none of these will require a good deal of dedication and determination which will make us bound and capitive to a set of noble and high ideals. It is the whole of one's genius, talents, foresight and strength given completely to building a community or nation that is pledged to the common lot and destiny. Free to build, free to love and 'free to serve. May Canadians be bound and captive to serve. Letter to the editor Dear Editor: May I request your assistance in publicising my research project which is described in the enclosure? Canadian participa- tion in the Boer War is a neglected arca in our military history. There is, for example, no official history as yet and British books on the War devote little attention to the very significant Canadian contribution. A handful of veterans are still alive and it appears that no concerted effort has been made to record their reminiscences. Fur- thermore,' there is a considerable amount of documentary material (especially letters) still in private possession. 1 am anxious to make contact with the veterans before they pass on and to gain access to the documentary material before it is destroyed, and 1 believe that the only effective way of establishing this contact is through the Press, Communion Service held Communion Service was held in Blyth United Church on Sunday. Greeting people into the Narthex were Albert Wasson and Earl Caldwell. Ushers were Barbara and Doug howson, Fred Meir Jr. and Earl Fyfe. The senior choir sang an anthem "Sweet hour of Prayer". Rev. Wittich chose as his sermon "Looking at ourselves in the light of the Cross. Text 1 Corinthians 11:28. The research is for a Master of Arts thesis at the University of Ottawa and, hopefully, the completed dissertation will prove to be a positive contribution to Canadian military history. 1 do hope that you will find it possible to comply with this request. Yours sincerely, Hugh Robertson, Head, History Department Ashbury College, Ottawa, Ontario KIM OT3, Letter to the editor DEAR EDITOR: Approximately a month ago my husband received a letter from Ottawa. 1t had been sent by the P.C. Party, asking for a donation to them. Like all other "garbage mail", I disregarded it and left it at that. Well, this week we received another letter of the same respect. This touched me the wrong way, so the donation I will send on behalf of ourselves and anyone else who has to work for a living is as follows: Mr. Michael Meighen, National President, OTTAWA, Ont. Sir: I received your letter today and I must say you sure have some nerve. Here we are working our seats off five or six days a week, trying to support :!yid raise our families, while you are sitting on your's. Who gets a great percentage of OUR money that WE earned? The likes of you -- the government. The only time you seem to show your faces and any concern is around election time. This is when you'll go out and shoot your wad on your campaign to advertise. You make so many promises that nobody can keep track of them all. But, I guess 1'd be out there showing my best side to win over everybody's hearts too. Anything to be able to make my earnings off everybody else's! So, until you start working while WE stay at home and get part of YOUR earnings, WE may then contribute some of YOUR earnings to your party. Until then, you won't be getting any out of my pocket!!

Bromley, on behalf of: ALL HARD-WORKING CITIZENS LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Mrs. Viola Haines -President Blyth Horticultural Society Blyth, Ontario Dear Mrs. Haines: The Corporation of the Village of Blyth and the Blyth Public Utilities Commission would like to express their sincere appreciation to you and your fine organization for the wonderful work which they arc doing.

DEAR ANN LANDER: I'm 29, male, handsome (will send a picture if you like), and have an outstanding personality. People often mistake me for Dustin Hoffman. i've had one year of college, an: well travelled and belong to the Book -of -the -Month Club. I know you want to help people and that's why I'm writing. There must be thousands of women who are lonely and would be willing to pay for good company. 1 am a churchgoer and would be very strict about saying "Good- night" at the door. Don't you think it would be worth $50 an evening to have the company of an attractive, intelligent, relined gentleman? The woman would, of course, furnish the transportation and pay other expenses -- bar, food, theater, etc. Please tell me how to get into the profession. --XXL DEAR XX: The closest printable name for the "profession' is "escort service." Look in the phone book. if you really want to help people, I suggest social v'ork, but then you'd have to "help" men as well as women •• and wine and dine yourself. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Please print this for "Had It." I hope other wives who are fed up with their husbands will take a close look, too. DEAR"HAD": May 1 have your husband? I'd like to take hint off your hands -- bad table manners, bum jokes, sloppy way of leaving his clothes on the doorknob -• the whole bit. I'm 36, a •successful career woman who would love to be married. l put on a happy face but I'm desperately lonely and need to be needed by someone. How I'd adore to have a man who came home to me every night. He wouldn't have to say much if he was tired. 1 would do the talking. If he was grumpy, I'd understand that things didn't go well elsewhere. Interesting job application And if you are fed up with your kids, dear (so many people seem to be these days), I'll take them, too.•-Envlous In Escondido DEAR E.: Your letter will give many a wife cause to pause. Thanks for unburdening yourself. DEAR ANN LANDERS: My 11-year•old son is a normal healthy child, but he still sucks his thumb :vhen he is tired, watching television, or reading by himself. I have offered all sorts of rewards if he will quit, but so far, no luck. The boy compares his thumb - sucking to cigarette smoking -- claims he wants to stop but can't. (My husband and I are non-smok- ers.) Please consult your experts. What about hypnosis? Should he be under psychiatric care? What are the chances that he will outgrow this infantile behavior? -- Worried In Washington. DEAR WORRIED: 1 would not recommend hypnosis, nor would 1 suggest psychiatric care unless he has other symptoms which might indicate that the boy is depress- ed, distressed or unable to function with his peers. Many children continue to suck their thumbs beyond the time when parents think they should have stopped. Eleven is a bit old for thumb -sucking but it indicates that the child is . insecure. His thumb is a source of comfort. Simply ignore it and he should indeed outgrow the habit -- maybe not as soon as you'd like, • but eventually he will stop. *** There is a big difference between cold and cool.

PG, 9. 4 Here come the boys, and there goes Bill's sanity BY BILL SMILEY This was suppose to be a probing inquiry into what laws Canadians break most, and why they break them. But it's too clanged hot. What a country! Just a few weeks ago, vote could get free ice -cubes from those 10 -foot icicles hanging from your roof. Today the refrigerator can't keep up with the demand for them. That horrible heat wave we've experienced coincided with a visit from The Boys. The combination practically put Gran and 1 oq our knees, and we're just now recovering gingerly from an ordeal that would have put us ill our graves, had we been 10 years older. it's not that we can't stand the heat. And goodness knows, The Boys arc a freak But because you can stand driving. doesn't mean you want to drive 800 miles a day, And because you enjoy ice cream doesn't mean you want to cat nothing else for two weeks. Mother of The Boys, our Kim, was in the process of writing the last of her university essays and thought she'd pop up home, have a visit, get some free baby-sitting and finish her essays. A nice thought. But The Boys had other ideas. After being cooped up in a city apartment for the winter, they wanted some action, and there's always action at Grandad's, at "the big house," as it's known. Little Balind, the younger, was supposed to be quiet and convalescent after a serious illness. Little Balind, after about one day, was as quiet and convalescent as a Mack"truck with Dr, Jekyll's alter ego at the wheel. After about three days, he had pulled a Tamp over on himself, put a permanent gouge in the coffee table, knocked over the fire screen (twice), fallen off a bed on his face, lost a knob off the TV set, sprinkled a can of talcum powder over the entire upstairs with a triumphant grin, and smashed several dishes by hurling them to the floor from his high chair, his signal that the meal was over. Of course, after his illness he had practically no appetite, so feeding him was no problem. It only took the three of us adults, one cooking, one shovelling it in, yid one cleaning up the debris, to stave off his hunger. He'd start off with a banana to keep hint from perishing while you were cooking his bacon and eggs. 'Then it was a scramble to get his toast and honey ready while the eggs were vanishing. Licks off the honey, hurls toast on the floor, stands up in his high chair and wipes hands on Gran's newly -decorated wall. Then out of the chair and on to Grandad's knee or muffin or whatever. This would go on all day, punctuated by apples, cookies, swigs of apple juice and bits of cheese to keep his stomach from rumbling. I made the mistake of sticking my little finger in his mouth once. Thought he was getting some more teeth and that I'd give the gums a little rub to ease the pain. He dans' near. took the end right off my finger. That kid is a natural for the wrestling ring or the football field. No such problem with the other guy, Nikov. He is a dainty cater, can feed himself, and sits up at table, propped on a fat book. No problem at all. Except that he won't cat. Meal time is a game. If he gets wieners and beans, he wants milk on it, then it's too cold. If you're out of eggs, he wants scrambled eggs. if you have apple juice and fresh grapefruit, the only thing he can stomach is orange juice. He can make a half-hour ceremony out of eating one strand of spaghetti. There's no malice in it. He just enjoys manipulating three fairly intelligent adults, like three puppets, one cajoling, one threat- ening, and one furious. We took turns. Occasionally whisked off to bed without any dinner, he'd be quiet for a few minutes, then paddle Reori»50 1976 Fury Salon, 8 automatic 1975 Datsun, 2 door radio. 1975 Dart Sport, 2 door 1974 Maverick, 4 door 1973 Dodge, half ton, 6 cylinder, . standard transmission. 1972 Dodge Monaco, 2 door hardtop. 1972 Plymouth, gran coupe, automatic, power steering, brakes, radio. 1972 Plymouth. 2 door 1972 Challenger, 8 automatic, power steering and brakes, radio. 1974 Dodge, half ton, 8 cylinder, automatic, power steering.

But he wanted chicken, •and you'd had stew, At first they were a little peeved that Grandad had to go off to work every morning. The old one wanted me to take hint to the car wash, one of our favorite excursions. The little one just wanted me to take him and yelled. So I instituted "Kiss Tinge." I lined the whole gang up, wife, daughter, two grandboys, got them to pucker up and went down the line with a kiss for each. Very popular routine. You have to be crafty with kids. For a few days, the weather was cold, and all they could do was make the inside of the house look as though Attila and his Huns had just laid waste a village. Then the heat wave struck. Their another is one of those new -(angled ones who think that children should be allowed to express their creative faculties regardless. The Boys poured into the back yard like the Saracens pouring into Spain, and created. I'll say one thing for them. They didn't set fire to the stoop, or the fence. They couldn't have. They discovered Grandad's hose, and where to turn it on. Everything was so wet after a few minutes, you couldn't have started a fire with gasoline. I'd come honk from work, and there'd be two naked tots, stray animal, human or other- wise, that came in range. It took only half an hour to clean up. That, along with two hours at feeding time, and abiiut two hours at bath and story time, and an hour to recuperate, took a fair chunk out of the day. Now they're gone and I miss them terribly. Nobody to run over, jump on my arthritic foot and butt me in the stomach. Nobody to make me read the soaking, mud from head to toelongest fairy story in the entire watering each other, their moth- , oth, book. I can hardwait sec thein again.

Dear Pearl and Harold: Your friends and neighbours, have gathered to -night, To wish you all the best. Your twenty-fifth anniversary, has been brought to light, And hope your future years, will be like the rest. When Pearl went to high school, She needed to buy some books, So over she went to McCallum's Where she decided she liked Harold's looks. On a clear day in June, Harold asked Pearl for a date, It was the year 1951 Pearl made sure she wasn't late And soon everyone knew that Pearl was Harold's hon A birdl shaped broach Harold gave Pearl as her first gift Later in Mexico she needed a coach For her hang -glides needed a lift. A Seaforth doctor made Pearl work hard all day. Doctor Paul Brady was his name However, Harold stole Pearl away And the Dr. said his house would never be the same. In June .1952 on a beautiful afternoon, The guests watch Rev. Livingston tic the knot then off Pearl and Harold went on thcir honeymoon, To Detroit to see a cousin and visit a lot. Back to the boundary Pearl came, Milking cows was her biggest test, For she found that was not het game, But Pearl still did her best. Harold needed help with a large farm, .So three boys and two girl. seemed to be just right, The picking of stones did them n harm, Even when it lasted all day an night. Now that your Silver Anniversa: has been brought to light, We your neighbors and friend; Hope that our wishes are ju right, And would like to accept the: gifts tonight.

Proclaimed the overall winner was "I Am Not What You See", which was the true story of Sondra Diamond, a psychologist who suffers from cerebral palsy and spends all her time in a wheelchair. The film was shown on the CBC Television series, "Man Alive" and she was interviewed by Roy Bonisteel. "I Am Not What You See" was first telecast in January of 1975 Record attendance expected Miss Canada will cut a simple red ribbon at the Country Playhouse on Tuesday, July 5 and officially open the 1977 Festival of Summer Theatre. Mr. Leo Morningstar, co•ord• inaN for the event, and Mrs. Morningstar will host the Board of Directors dinner for . Miss Canada and other invited guests.

Returning to their honeymoon Suite after 23 years of marriage, one couple finds their marriage in ough„water, but .not yet on the rocks!

DIRTWYtTER FO\ta 'h and the audience reaction was so overwhelming that it was repeat- ed that same season. It was a sequel to an earlier program entitled "To Be Truly Human” wherein humanity was defined and life given a meaning. A third production entitled "Sondra Dia- mond: Truly Alive" was shown in April of 1976. The show, on one hand, showed what can be accomplish- ed by one person determined not to let life beat her, no matter what the odds. It also helped everyone take a new view of the handicapped and see them as useful people with something to contribute to society. And watch- ing Sondra Diamond long enough, the miracle really hap- pened - the wheelchair disappear- ed and you saw only the person! *** This Friday is Canada Day. It is a holiday designed to give all of us new pride in this great nation of ours, In commemoration of the big event, CRC is preparing a gigantic entertainment spectacul- ar to begin at 8 p:m. and run for three hours. The production will be present- ed live from places all over the country where Canada Day is being celebrated. Stars will include Anne Murray in Spring- hill, Nova Scotia; John Allan Cameron at Summerside, Prince Edward Island; Ginette Reno at Montreal; Salome Bay at Ontario Place, Tommy Hunter at the Drumheller Rodeo; Buffy Sainte Marie at a Manitoba Indian Reserve. Also entertaining will be Rene Simard, Bobby Gimby, Juliette, Hagood Hardy and National Ballet stars, Karen Kain and Frank Augustyn. The program will be broadcast on both the CBC English network and the CBC French network, at the same time. It will cover every Canadian province and the Northwest Territories, Executive producer John Spalding says that they will be using practically every piece of equipment the CBC owns for the production and hundreds of technicians will be working on the holiday so you and I can sec the special. Designed to unite all Canad- ians, the production is fed to the nation by satellite. The credits to be shown at the end will read: "This program has been produc- cd with the participation of Canadians who believe in a country called Canada". Which, on Canada Day 1977, will probably bring a lump to the throat and make being a Canadian feel very special. If you are spending the holiday at home, do try to watch this special with your countrymen throughout the nation, Area girl works for Resources Ministry Sandra Currie, a resident of RR 3, Wingham, is spending her summer with the Ministry of' Natural Resources, on the Exper- ience '77 Program, at Point Farms Provincial Park, just north .of Goderich. Sandra is the assistant co-ordinator of the Visitor Services Program. She is working under the supervision of Wendy Miller, the co-ordinator of the Visitor Services Program, and Blake Evans, acting park Superin- tendent. The Visitor Services Program plans activities for the summer, gives information to campers, and shows campers around the park. Some of the activities Sandra is helping plan, are puppet shows, barn dances, the physical fitness trail, movies and films at the barn, crafts, plus many other recreational programs, Sandra, must plan these programs around the Park Theme, which is ` "recreational activities in an agricultural setting". Sandra also must involve all age groups in the park activities. For the past two years, Sandra has been studying "Family and Consumer Studies", at the University of Guelph. Sandra plans to return this fall. Sandra seems to be very involved at Point Farms and plans to have a very enjoyable and exciting summer.
