PG, 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/JULY 27, 1977. New program of home support planned for Huron County BY JOANNE WALTERS A new program to provide home support services for elderly and handicapped adults is now underway in the . province of Ontario. Such services include heavy or seasonal cleaning, gardening, painting, repairs or alterations to the home, transpor- tation for shopping and medical Correction The photo of old-time Dinslcy street in the Centennial issue of The Standard last week was improperly identified. The house in the foreground is the present home of Mrs. Nora Kelly, not Ray Vincent. The Vincent home was not built at the time and is now on the vacant lot shown on the other side of the Kelly home in this picture. reasons and other related home care services. The program is not intended to replace any existing programs such as Homemaking, Home Care Services or the Nurses Services Act. The new program has a two fold objective. It will provide employment for the unemployed while at the same time enabling the recipient of the services to remain in his own home. John MacKinnon, administra- tor of social services in Huron County, says it is a general philosophy that keeping the handicapped and elderly in their own homes if at all possible is . cheaper and better than institu- tionalizing them. MacKinnon says there is a' need for the Home Support services program in Huron County and that it is now just a matter of getting enough people to apply for it. He feels sure that the program will be well underway in the county by September. , Each municipality has.a choice of entering the new program. The province will pay $20. per day per employee and the municipal- ity will be responsible for any wages and 'employee benefits in excess of the $20. per day and any transportation costs. Only labor is covered in the costs, Any materials needed are not sup- plied. • The Provincial Government is allowing Huron County to hire three persons on a temporary basis to look after the new services until the end of the provincial fiscal year (March 31, 1978). These people will be located throughout the County, possibly in Wingham, Exeter, Clinton or, Goderich, The number of people hired may be increased later depending on the number of municipalities willing to partici- pate in the new program. The program is aimed at providing full-time employment and therefore the Provincial Government has asked the municipalities involved not to hire part-time or summer students to fill the positions. It is suggested that young, unemployed persons willing to make a longer commitment to the program be hired. 'MacKinnon says some referals for these positions have. already come through his office from Canada Manpower. In order to determine appropri- ate clients• for the program, information has been sent opt to other agencies likely to be involved. Local homes for the aged and other institutions have been contacted. Those people awaiting admission to such institutions could receive pro- gram services that would be useful during this time and possibly postpone institutionaliz- ation. MacKinnon has a list of about 400 homebound people in the County who 'could use the services offered in the new home support program. He said however, some tor these people may not want such services. The program is also dependent on a needs test and income tests. Only needy people on fixed, incomes will be eligible for the Program. If family members can provide prvices covered in the program, then those applying do not qualify. MacKinnon says up until now, the Huron County Social Services work has been 90 per cent income maintenance oriented with such programs as welfare but the new Home Support program may be a shift toward the start of more social service work.

It can also be a time to. (earn. Ycs, we have a lot to learn from the pioneers who built this community from wall-to-wall bush to the exciting place it is today. There is a good deal missing from our community's personality today that was part of its makeup during the important formative years. We treed that feeling of optimism that pervaded the atmosphere of the village in the early. years. We know now, of course, that Blyth cannot entertain realistic visions of being a bustling city one day. Indeed, few of us want that kind of growth for our village. We can however see growth in other ways, in terms of making this the best place in the world to live, a place where all parts of the community work together, where the community good conies before- individual interests. We can capture some of that spirit of "damn the consequences, let's do it" that built this community in the first place. Canadians today are cautious to a fault. If people had been so cautious 100 years ago, they'd, never have come into the bush to found Blyth in the first place. We have the resources both in skills and finances to do just about anything we want in this community, but too often those resources go wasted. like the buried talents in the parable. The kind of pioneer spirit of taking a chance has been seen recently in two projects in Blyth; the amazing drive to the new arena, and the crazy idea of starting a professional theatre operation in Memorial Hall. Both have been a success because people refused to be too cautious. because they realized that enthusiasts can overcome stiff odds. Ycs, we've got much to learn from the past. Hopefully during all the fun and frolic this weekend, everyone will sit down to think a little of. our past and of our future and how our past can help us shape that ' future. Harry's right "You can take the boy from the country but you can't take the country from the boy" goes one of the old saws. Harry Boyle proved last week in handing down his report on separatism in the C.B.C. that he may be many years away from his Huron county roots, but they remain with him still. Mr. Boyle was thrust into a hotscat when the government asked him to investigate allegations of reporters showing separatist bias in their news reporting on the Quebec branch of the C.B.C., Radio Canada. The media was crying the government was trying to interfere with freedom of speech. The politicians were claiming that the media was helping split the country. In his report, Mr. Boyle was bound to make somebody unhappy. In his own usual way, however, he managed to strike at the truth, though it made both sides both happy but also angry with him. He dismissed the claim of separatism in Radio Canada but hit out at not just C.B.C. but all branches of the media for inadvertently promoting separatism by not doing their job in telling Canadians enough about themselves. He blasted the media for thinking nothing important happened outside the heavily populated corridor between Toronto and - Montreal. Not only does the Canadian press not tell English Canadians about French Canadians and vice -versa, but they don't do a very good job about telling easterners and westerners about each other and urban and rural people about each other. In short, they're botcliing the job of being the method of communicating in a vast country where communication is essential to national survival. Those of us who live outside the main population areas of Toronto and Montreal know this is so true. With the main English language media concentration in Toronto, the knowledge of people in the national media of things as close as Huron County is pitifully small, let alone things that happen in far off Saskatchewan, Nearly all news is filtered through a Toronto or Montreal viewpoint before it hits the national airwaves or the front pages of major newspapers. in short, even those of us who live in rural areas and depend on big city media for• information, arc getting an inaccurate picture of ourselves. The media, of course, howled in agony at the.report. How dare this man criticize the one body in Canada which holds itself above criticism? Harry Boyle, who has been Iiked and respected in his own business of the communications industry for many years, may have made more enemies in his last few months as .Canadian Radio Telecommunication Commission chairman than in all his other years combined. But he has done the country a service with his report and showed that he may have lived in the city for many years but he is still able to see things from the removed prespective of the rural country side. Do you think there'll be enough to go around? Today's youth remarkable in patience BY KEITH ROULSTON Bob Carbcrt, the former CKNX farm director who's now the general manager of the new Agricultural Museum at Milton was guest speaker at a dinner' held here in town on the weekend, The meeting was to celebrate ,the 25th anniversary of the 411 movement in Huron county and appropriately enough he spoke on the theme of youth. Some of his thoughts bear examining by those of us who sometimes tend to get cynical about the younger genera- tion. These arc extremely difficult times for young people, he pointed out. The generation now reaching maturity has been brainwashed by parents, our school system and society in general to seek higher education. The result is that record numbers of young people have spent a lot of money to put themselves through colleges or universities expecting to reap the, pot of gold they have been told for years they will tinct at the end of the rainbow of education. What have they found? Well, Mr, Carbert quoted statistics that show that only 15 per cent of graduates from post -secondary educational insti- tutions were able to find work in the field they were trained for this year. That left a giant gap of 85 per cent of the young graduates who were left wondering why they ever invested several years of their life training for a job that wasn't there. It could 'be an explosive situation. It probably would have been for the young of my generation a mere 10 years ago. When we look back now on the flimsy excuses for causes used by the rebclls of that day, it is astounding at the calm way today's youth face their problem. Oh sure. my generation ' had genuine concerns when they held their sit-ins and marched and picketed, but those were pretty idealistic, pie -in -the -sky concerns compared to the bread-and-butter issues that face today's students,. But, as Mr, Carbert pointed out, there ,aren't any big riots today, There arc bleats of protest now and then, but on the whole things remain remarkably quiet. The young graduates have taken work in whatever jobs they can find, while still hoping to latch onto a job that will make use of their talents and training. They're slaking do with what they find and arc glad to find it. We've had a chance to sec this dedication • close at hand this summer because we have a young graduate working at our office who probably saw a great future for herself when she began training but ended up getting just a summer student's job at low wages when she graduated. Yet she's thrown herself into that job as if it were the best job in the world. This generation. digging in to fight like the generation of the Depression, will be better for their troubles, Mr. Carbert said and 1 think he's right. Like heat and then cold tempers steel, so hardship tempers personality, slaking the person better in the long ron. Strangely the idealistic rebels of 10 years ago have become the crass materialists of today. The generation of today may not be as vocal in proclaiming its righteous- ness but I'll bet they end up doing more for their country, and their world than those reformed idealists of a few years back. As Mr. Carbert said,they are a credit to their families and their country. Defence: Walk, jog, run, skate, ski, swim, paddle, pedal ...don' let life catch you with your head down. Fitness is' fun.

The public is invited to enjoy refreshments at the Hospitality Garden in the Park after the ceremony, In case of rain, . the unveiling will' be held in the Community Centre on .King Street, The plaque text traces the founding of Blyth from the arrival, of early settlers, Lucius McConn- ell and Kenneth McBain in 1851, through its development as a market town for the surrounding. region, to its incorporation as a village with about 800 residents in January 1877, The inscription on the plaque reads: THE FOUNDING OF BLYTH Blyth 1851, Lucius McConnell and Kenneth McBain, two of the earliest settlers in the 'area, had located here in Morris Township. Four years later, Donald McDon- ald laid out a village plot on the border between Wawanosh and Morris Townships and in July, 1856, a post -office was establish- ed. The village developed slowly but within two years contained a sawmill owned by McBain, a Presbyterian church, tavern and store. Originally known as Drum- mond after an enterprising early family, the village, a market town for the surrounding agricultural region, was renamed Blyth after an absentee landowner. In January, .1876; a station on the London, Huron and Bruce Rail- way was opened and a year later the village was incorporated with a population .of about 800. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The village of Blyth straddles the boundary between the town- ships of East Wawanosh and Morris which were surveyed in 1838 and 1848, respectively. The land in the arca is well suited to agriculture and water -power is available from , a stream which runs through the village. Blyth native drowns in Lake Scugog DONALD S. WATT An employee of Houdaille Industries for the past fifteen years, Donald Simon Watt, died Saturday, July 16, 1977, the result of drowning in Lake Scugog. He lived at 188 Conant St. Oshawa. Born Sept 1, 1928 in Blyth, he was the son of Leopold Watt and the late Jessie Watt. He is survived by his wife, the former Bernice Elliott,. his father Leo Watt, two daughters, Mrs. Leslie Waters (Patricia) of Black- stock, Catherine of Oshawa, a sister, Mrs. Gerald Addison (Jessie) of Toronto, two brothers, Archie and Bob of Goderich. A brother James died before him. Funeral service was held Tuesday from the Armstrong funeral home in Oshawa.

FABRICS 523-9675 The earliest settlers in the area were Lucius McConnell and Kenneth. McBain who occupied separate tracts of land in the southwestern corner of Morris Township in June 1851. A few years later, McBain built the first mill in the vicinity. On March 3, 1855, • Robert Drummond, of Clinton, purchas- ed Lot 42 Concession 1, held since 1849 by Alexander McPherson, the postmaster of Whitby. It appears that Drummond was the first to conceive the idea of having a town plot surveyed in the area, judging the location to be ideal for a market town for the surround- ing agricultural region. However, it seems that Drummond was unsuccessful in following through his• intention because about four months later he sold his 200 -acre lot to Donald McDonald, of Toronto, On pecember 23, 1855, McDonald presented the first plan for a village lying on part of his property in Wawanosh and on part of the adjoining lot in Morris which McDonald had also acquir- ed. A year later, McDonald soli his holdings, except for those 11 acres in Wawanosh and 5 acres in Morris occupied by the village called Blythe, to Henry D. Blyth, a merchant in England. In 1862, the spelling of the village was changed Blyth. Meanwhile, the village was growing and attracting a steady stream of settlers. By 1858, Blyth, with a population of about 30, had a Presbyterian church, a tavern, a store, McBain's sawmill, and a post -office which had been established on July 1, 1856. Six years later, this "Thriving post village" had acquired a Method- ist church and contained a grist mill, steam sawmill, flouring mills, three hotels, four general stores, three blacksmith shops, a wagon factory, a saddlery, and a variety of other stores. By 1871, Blyth boasted a population of around 700 resid- ents. Shingle and planing mills, a brickyard, woollen, carding and cabinet factories had been added to commercial ventures in the village. The Montreal Telegraph Company had recently installed a line to Blyth and the nearest railway station was 11 miles away in Clinton. The most important event in light of Blyth's aspiration to 4 4 ;1 4 4 become a market town, was the opening of a station at Blyth on the London, Huron and Bruce Railway in January 1876. That same year, on June 6, the Huron County Council passed a by-law incorporating Blyth as a village to become effective on January 1, 1877. The population at the time of the by-law was 771 and the village contained six stores, five hotels, three blacksmiths shops, two carriage shops, two tailor shops, a harness shop, two sawmills, a grist -mill, two tin- smith shops, a livery stable, a stave factory and five shingle factories. Blyth 'continued to grow after its incorporation, In 1882 its population stood around 1,200. Salt works and a foundry were recent additions to local industry. The Dominion and Great North- western Telegraph Companies had offices in the village and a weekly newspaper, The Review, had been established in 1881. The village had become a carrying point for grain, salt, livestock, and lumber from the area, • The population of Blyth began to decrease very gradually near the end of the century to the present day when the population stands at around 860.

MARIA BY EUGENIA PRICE This historical novel opens in 1763. Maria had grown up in colonial South Carolina, then Sergeant David Fenwich was billeted in her home. They fell in love and were married, Shortly after when David's regiment was shipped to Cuba Maria accomp- anied the British troops as a nurse. When they were later sent to St. Augustine, Florida, sick- ness went too and Maria faced challenges that would have unnerved a less resourceful woman.

McDONALD LONDESBORO UNITED CHURCH It is a conviction rooted in the Christian Faith that each man is worth something to God, and that man's task is to glorify God by the full exercise of his capacities, thus serving the common life of mankind, The roots of our idea lies in the thinking and the faith of aGaIllean carpenter, who phrased his belief in unforgettable parables. He put the faith at the heart of the free world in the form of a question: "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go in search of the one that wenty astray?" Sheep were only a figure the Master used to suggest God's care and concern for men and women lost in the shambles of society. He found the ultimate values of life in the dignity of persons. Felix Adler, one of the great psychologists of ofr day, always insisted that man wants most of all to feel significant. The worker wants to be somebody, not a nobody, and so do all of us. Abviously, our sifnificance is not established by dealing with someone else as a nobody, as seems to often happens. On the contrary, to treat others as nobodies is to cut away the very foundation for all human diginity. As Jesus remarked, "Inasmuch as ypu do it unto the least of these, you do it unto me." To affront the dignity of another is to affront Jesus Christ. If we do not seek to establish our significance by treating others as nobodies, it may well be that we attempt to affirm the fact that we are somebodies by establishing what we call 'status'. We use all manner of devices to affirm our importance. But when we find it necessary to establish the fact that we are 'somebody very special', it is quite obvious that we lack the stature we wish to affirm. We may also struggle to prove our value with our abilities. The cultivation of ability to affirm worth is better than the other devices we use. One of the historic answers of the Jews to the ghetto was the cultivation of abilities. It has been the classic answer to the tolerance of Gentile society, a compensation for a social status of inferiority. All honour to the Jews for the abilities persecution has nourished. The idea on which our Western Civilization rests is that our significance hinges not on the simple but mighty fact, affirmed on Calvary's hill, that we are worth something to God. God cares what happens to you and he cares what happens to me, therefore I care for your dignity and you care for mine. There are no first citizens in the economy of God, "no slave nor free, no Greek nor Jew," but all stand alike in the presence of the Father. 'No matt is lost or without worth if he is loved and sought by the caring of God. "What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray 9" Such an idea on the march is mightier than tanks or nuclear' weapons. Indeed, it is the hope and the essential dynamic of Christendom.

Barb Kerr, Brussels Janis Bisbacle, Hensall and their families joined 4,000 doctors, nurses and parents with children at a four day Conference which brought together medical experts from all over the world. "Developing nations could save one billion dollars a year if all their mothers breastfed - a fact which should make La Leche League as powerful as OPEC", Dr. Marshall- H. Klaus M.D. author of Maternal•Infant Bond- ing told the 6th International Conference of La Leche League International in Toronto on Wednesday, last week. Stressing the beneficial proper- ties inherent in mothers' milk, the noted physician and author, who is professor of Pediatrics at the University Hospitals of Cleve- land, cited specific examples in various parts of the globe where babies owe their lives to human milk. "In 1971 and '72 almost 50 per cent of premature babies who developed diarrhea in sections of Argentina were dying from the afflication" Dr. Klaus stated. "In 1973 a system was implemented whereby milk from mothers of fullterm babies was supplied to the premises at a teaspoon each Ib. of infant weight, and the diarrhea completely stopped!" La Leche League International is the only international organiza- tion in the world whose major purpose is to help women successfully breastfeed their bab- ies. The 21 year old organization started by seven mothers in Franklin Park, Illinois, now has 11,700 leaders directing 3,500 branches in 42 countries. Also speaking at the seminar, was noted syndicated medical writer, Robert S. Mendelsohn, M.D., Associate , Professor of Community Health at the Univer• sity of Illinois, who, in light of questions raised at recent Senate hearings, about the safety 01 breast milk, emphasized the medical benefits of nursing over formula feeding. He predicted that within the next 20 years, doctors would become more and nnre convinced of the dangers of bottle feeding. "They will be more willing to share this information with mothers -to -be", he said, "alerting them that certain diseases such as sudden infant death and E. coli meningi- tis, practically never occur in breastfeeding babies." Huron County has one group meeting monthly to acquaint those interested in breastfeeding. Further information may be obtained from Jarus Bisback, 262-2192. Will it keep beating?

During the entire ritual, as practised in our society, men are inarticulate, inept, and in the way. This was my conclusion after attending the recent wedding of a niece. Not that it wasn't a lovely wedding. It was, She was a grand and beautiful girl, Lynn Buell of Brockville, and with the aid of her young sister Pam, her remarkably calm mother, and her fairly distraught father, she cam& through the ceremony with flying colors, She even "did fairly well for herself," as we used to say. She hookeda doctor. Well, at any rate, a medical student. All she has to do is support him for three or four years, and they'll be rolling in medicare. He seems like a decent, inoffensive chap, like all the other males at the wedding. At least he had on a shirt and tie, and didn't want to get married in jeans and beads and a caftan, like so many young punks these days. He doesn't even have a beard, so he may be OK. But he was practically un- noticed, there was such a craning of necks among the women, to see what and why each other was hearing. Please don't get the idea that I'm down on weddings. I think they are fine, and I'll go down to the church on a nice summer day with the best of them, and get a prickling at the nape of my neck, and reach over and hold the old lady's hand when the parson intones "for better and for worse, in sickness and in health, for richer and poorer," and all that stuff that makes your hair stand on end with hindsight. And 1 don't mind the two or three hundred dollars it cost me to attend. Not at all. The last wedding I was at •• my daughter's •• cost five times that, and all I've Smiley has some thoughts on weddings ;got out of it is two grandbabies and the establishment of the Bill Smiley Benevolent Fund which caters to indigent daughters, their husbands, and any offspring they may have. Nor did it bother me in the slightest that 1 had to drive 600 miles, round trip, to see my niece given away. There was a torrential rain all the way there, and heat and a hangover from a magnificent reception all the way home, but that goes with the territory. What I did mind, just slightly, now, was the frenzy of. prepara- tion during the three weeks before the wedding. Right from the beginning, 1 was aware that I was going to bestuck for a wedding dress, one of those creation that women can wear once and never again, unless they have some sense, which most women don't have, when it comes to a wedding, However; I just shrugged this off. You can't take it with you, not matter what route you choose to go. But little did 1 realize that my wife was going to do three things simultaneously: create her own costume for the wedding; lose 10 pounds; and get a tan. Just try it, ladies. She is one of those people who don't know their own limitations, demand perfection, and drive everyone around them straight out of his skull. Since she started sewing a year or so ago, she thinks she can tackle anything in the haute couture line. 1 granted that she could whip out a golf skirt or pair of smashing slacks in a day, and knock off T-shirts for the midgets in •the family while the disfies were soaking, but 1 was leery about her tangling with a wedding dress. First week was sheer hell. I told her to knock out a "little, 1976 Fury Salon, 8 automatic 1974 Oldsmobile, 4 door hardtop 1974 Dodge 1 ton pick up. 1972 Dodge Monaco, 2 door hardtop. 1972 Plymouth, gran coupe, automatic, power steering, brakes, radio. 1972 Challenger, 8 automatic, power steering and brakes, radio. 1974 Dodge, half ton, 8 cylinder, automatic, power steering.

In addition, the sun. didn't shine for tanning, and the diet seemed a dead loss: Second week was a repeat. But she did make a panic trip to the city to buy material, the sun shone for one day, and she lost a pound and a half. Third week. The material she chose was raw Indian silk. Great stuff to work with. Look at it sideways and it resembles a newspaper.that's been left out in the rain. But the sun shone. She stole a half -your a day from -her 10•hour• sewing stint for sun-bathing. And suddenly th8 scales began to work, instead of sticking, as they had been for twn weeks In the midst of it all, so wound up about weddings are women, she found time to dash out and buy me a pair of pants and a fine new white shirt. I was going to wear my old gray flannels that I bought three years ago for $18. and a clean golf shirt. The pants are a bit lumpy around the pockets from carrying keys, $6. in change, and golf balls, and the shirt has a cigarette burn in the collar, but otherwise they're fine, There was no way she\ was going to get me to buy a pair of black shoes, so she said I could wear my hush -puppies and she'd say I forgot my dress shoes. Not only did she finish a real zappo of a skirt with a matching vest, but a polka-dot blouse to go under it. New shoes, of course, a tan, and •• believe it or not -• a brand new figure with almost 15 pounds vanished into thin air. She was a knockout. Why don't women put all this creativity and will power into somethine besides a wedding?

DEAR ANN: It's my guess that "Linked to a Kink" is producing a lot of "Get with it, Annie" mail. ('I'hc woman's huhand wanted her to tie his wrists together, also Itis ankles, as a sexual turn -on.) You seem to believe the "bondage game" is sadistic. Practiced. by mutual conscnl, with intelligent linlils, it is one al' the most exciting games two people can play. The primary sex organ is the brain. New experiences open the mind to higher levels ()I• enjoy - !he'll.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/JULY 27, 1977. 4H Leaders celebrate 25th anniversary at Blyth. important contributions to the country, "The job of 4H leaders," he said, is to ensure that the next generation is equipped with the initiative, the training and the encouragement to carry on the great Huron County Tradition and in fact build on it." at all registration outlets,, clerks office, Baintons Old Mill, Blyth Printing and Needlecraft Shop Bob Carbert, former CKNX farm broadcaster and now General Manager of the Ontario Agricultural Museum was guest speaker Saturday when the 411 Club Leaders Association held their 25th anniversary dinner at the Community Centre. Also present was Gordon Bennett, deputyminister of Agriculture and former Agricultural Representative for Huron. Twenty-five years of the 4h, movement in Huron county was celebrated Saturday as the Huron County 4h Club Leaders' Associa- tion held a reunion at the Blyth and District Community Centre. The event 'began with a luncheon and noon and continued throughout the day with a reunion in the afternoon and dance at night. The event was an occasion for saying thanks to former 4H leaders, Agricultural Representa- tive.,, and Home Economists who had served the 4H movement in the county. The movement was formed when • leaders of the old Boys and Girls Clubs which had existed since the 1920's mct on Feb. 29 1952 to form a club leaders' association to co-ordinate efforts throughout the county. They adopted the new name 4H club for their program, a name that had first become well-known in the U.S. Bob Hern of Woodham, current president of the club leaders' • association was master of cere- monies. Among the dignitaries present were local M.P.P.s Murray Gaunt and Jack Riddell and M.P. Robert McKinley, and Huron County. Warden Doug McNeil. Also present were former Agricultural Representatives in Huron, Gordon Bennett, now Deputy -Minister of Agriculture; Jerry Montgomefy, now living in London and Doug Miles now with the Ministry in Toronto. All paid tribute to the 4H movement and its leaders for helping build qualities into rural youth, not only to help these who persue farming careers but those who go on to more urban professions, Guest speaker for the event was Bob-Carbert, General Man- ager of the Ontario 'Agricultural Museum, Milton who was well known in the area from 10 years as farm director at CKNX radio and television at Wingham from 1948-58. He recounted his long associa- tion with the 4H movement from his work at CKNX through work with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture in Ottawa and said that the 4H clubs have changed and adapted themselves to new times. The movement is not without its critics, he said, Some say there is too much emphasis on competition in 4H work, he said, but humans are competitive. If a person is not prepared to strive to succeed he won't get much out of live, Mr. Carbert said. "Thank God 4H puts competitive spirit into youngsters," he said. Mr. Carbert said he has a great deal of sympathy for youngsters growing up in the stresses of 'today where only 15 per cent of college graduates can find work in their field they are trained for. The young people of today are a, credit to their families and their country. Despite the job situation most haven't run around demand- ing better treatment, they've taken what jobs they could find, dug in their toes and done their best. He compared the spirit of today's youth. with the spirit of the Depression years, Times will be hard for them, he said, but they will be better for the struggle they face, and the pain will be a lot less than that faced by generations who had • to go through two world wars. He said he had worked at the museum with young people who are helping during the summers and has found it a rewarding experience, though he admitted there were times when it became very hectic. There was great reward, he said, to see the students who work there go on to careers, often dealing with the experience they gained at the museum. He said that one of the important things Huron county has done is to provide young people who go on to make Welcome To all the thousands of -Blyth area residents who came back forthe Centennial Why not stay in touch with home, with old friends and all that's going on in Blyth.
