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.

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.

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.

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

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. Suspense mounts as she
threatens to throw to the wind all
she had achieved.

You're really a
somebody
' BY REV. STANLEY C. 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.

convention.
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,

13Y JIM SMITH
If you don't belong to a union •
and the vast majority of Canad-
ians (organized labour propagan-
da notwithstanding) have no
union ties • the Canadian Union of
Postal Workers has 227 reasons
why you should sign up with it,
The 227 reasons may be found
in what CUPW -calls a "National
Program of . Demands", These
demands form the heart of the
Union's position in. current
negotiations for a new contract.
The list of demands, as they
appeared in the Union's national
news magazine "CUPW", is not
easily taken seriously • unless, it
5ecros, one happens to • be an
inside postal worker, If the Union
has its way, a job in the Post
Office will certainly beat .working.
The postal workers are asking
for all those things that any sane
employee would like - but never
expects to get. Like a 30 -hour
work week (six hours a day, five
days a week) - including 1 'nch
periods, hourly 10 -minute rest
breaks, and a 10-minute'wash-up

2:00. p.m., in the Orange Hall,

mances at 2:00 p.m.
- in return for 40 hours of pay.
The National Program , of
Demands includes numerous
breathtaking suggestions, includ-
ing:
• Double time for all overtime
(and senior workers get first
chance at all overtime);
• Double time for Saturday shift
work - and triple time on
Sundays, even if the hours are
part of a regular shift;
• 4 weeks of vacation time a year
for the most junior employees,
building to 7 weeks a year after 15
years of service;
• A raise of 30 cents an hour for,.
any worker relocated from one
postal station to another (even if
the old and new stations are in the
same block);
• An end to all electronic
surveillance of workers - as well
as building supervisors' offices in
such a way that the supervisors
can't see the employees;
• No sub -contracting of any work
to independent firms without
Union approval.
working
There are more • many more •
demands, but you get the idea,
And the average Canadian (and
small businessman, in particular)
as, the Canadian Federation- of
Independent Business points out,
is being . manoeuvred into a
"no-win situation, Either there
will be a prolonged postal strike
which could bring the system
(along with countless smaller
(businesses) to its knees or there
will be exteme concessions to the
workers which will bankrupt the
already overburdened Post Of-
fice,
Ml of which explains why the
federal government is finding it
difficult to arrange an early end to
the wage and • price control
programme, despite pressures
from the Canadian Labour Con-
gress and organizations represen-
ting big business interests.
A large postal settlement would
set off a chain of stratospheric
demands and settlements that
would force a return to controls -
on a permanent basis.

PG, 10, THE BLYTH STANDARD/JULY 27, 1977.
Weddings are for women.
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,

white dress" for the wedding,
and she came up with some old
wives' tale that you can't wear
white to a wedding •• that's
reserved for the bride.
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?

You seem to believe the
"bondage game" is sadistic.

with intelligent linlils, it is one al'
the most exciting games two
people can play.

brain. New experiences open the

important contributions to the

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."

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
