BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 20 CENTS VOLUME 87 = NO. 31. Marching in a parade can be thirsty business and dere a member of one of the bands gets a refill from one of the band leaders while marching in Saturday's Centennial Parade. Many others in the parade had other ways Of quenching their thirst. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1977. Inside Photos from Centennial Highlights Included Biggest ever parade highlights Centennial The biggest parade that Blyth has ever seen and what some are calling the best parade in this part of the country in years highlighted the Centennial activities on the weekend, The parade, organized by Harve McCAllum lasted two hours and the parade route covering Dinsley Street east, Mill Street, Westmoreland Street, Queen Street and Wellington Street • was lined with thousands to watch the event: Lietenant Governor Pauline McGibbon reviewed the parade from the reviewing stand on Queen Street, (Parade winners and parade pictures are elsewhere in the issue), It was just the beginning of a hugely successful weekend, Organizers had more people attending every event than had been expected. All the dances were sold out. The Sunday chicken barbecue was sold out. Thousands came back to the fairgrounds on Monday afternoon and evening to witness the various games and races such as the bed race and water fight and fireworks display, Sunday night's shirt-tail parade drew . hundreds of participants and hundreds more lined the streets to watch. The only hitch in the activities was the vicious storm that battered the -area early Sunday afternoon delaying some activities and hampering others by causing a four-hour power blackout.

O.M.B. gives go ahead to sewer project BY DEBBIE RANNEY A mechanical sewage system for the village of Blyth costing over $3 million has been approved by the Ontario Municipal Board. (OMB), Only about 30 people attended the hearing on the proposed system which was held •Wednesday, July 27. Paul Ross, counsellor . for the village of Blyth, questioned the witnesses on their evidence. • A sewage system for Blyth had been proposed as early as 1973 and possible . sites for a lagoon or a chemical treatment plant had .been discussed. It was discovered that the cost of both would be quite high and that both were unsuitable methods. A mechanical sewage treatment plant was proposed in June of 1975 and five possible sites were presented to the Ministry of Energy Board who gave their approval to such a system. Steven Burns, a professional civil engineer presented plans of the proposed mechanical site and described the process. The first plan showed a gravity sewage system and pumping statio'hile the e second plant showed the site of t s! sewage treatment facilities. The system of gravity sewers lead to the pumping station near Blyth creek where the sewage would then be pumped to the mechanical plant located in the northwest corner of the village at Gypsy Lane on the property of Murray Siertsema. • This sewage system would service every home in Blyth with, the exception of one that would be too remote from the system. Sanitary sewers would be put down the centre of the street with every property provided with a service connection but no one outside of the village of Blyth would have it. The proposed sewage plant would have two sewage pumps each of which would have enough capacity by itself to serve the village if one ran out and a diesel driven engine would provide aeration, settling, ,chlorination and phosphorous removal facilities, The plant has been designed for over the next 20 years with an expected population of 1300 people, Gary Tuer, an environment officer with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in Sarnia conducted a pollution survey of the Blyth Creek on June 7, 1977. Previous pollution surveys had been taken in 1964 and 1969. Mr. Tuer took samples within the creek, and at storm sewer drains and below the creek. The results of these tests indicated a severe bacterial contamination through the storm discharge sewers. He said that there was a 123 million bacteria count in the creek. The chemical content of the creek was also tested and there was found to be degradation of the creek occuring through nitrate which resulted in poor water quality. Mr. Tuer also found solids coming out of Continued on pg. 3.

PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 3, 1977. Some weird sights were seen Sunday night when the shirt•tall parade took place down Queen Street prior to the midnight dance. Here several members of the Brussels Pipe Band get into the acting shedding their kilts for some strange attire. Hundreds lined the parade route to watch the participants make a spectacle of themselves. United Church welcomes visitors Blyth United Church overflow- ed on Sunday as many former members returned for the Cen- tennial service. Greeting worshippers 'into the Narthex were Betty Bowes and Millar Richmond, Ushers were Mary Holland, Marion Wright, Alma Madill, Deanna Snell, Grant Sparling and Ray Madill. The church was beautifully decorated with Gladioli. A mass choir of present and former members sang "The church in the Wildwood" and "In times like these", Solos were rendered by Brock Vodden, "This is my task" and by Jack Tyuman "The Lord's Prayer". The service was led by Rev. Wittich and a former minister Rev. Wilbur Rogers chose for his sermon, "Where is the way for future years". The service concluded with the singing of "God be with you till we meet again". • BUSINESS DIRECTORI ELLIOTT REAL ESTATE AGENCY Gordon Elliot, Broker R.

O.M.B. hearing Continued from pg., 1. the storm sewers which he believes were human excrement and which were being discharged into the creek, In 1964 the ppllution survey showed that there were 24 million bacteria and in 1977. that amount has increased to 123 million. The only solution that Mr, Tuer could see to stop the discharge from entering the creek would be to either sever all septic tanks (hypothetical) or service the entire area with sanitary sewers, Neil McMullen, district officer for the Ministry of the Environment in the Sarnia district, and representing Lambton and Huron County said that the soil within Blyth is variable and is not condusive to the use of the septic tank system, He said that the septic tank systems need to be maintained and that most homeowners just install theirs and forget about it. The systems break down as a result. Mr. McMullen said that the result on the environment of the effluent fuming downstream in the Blyth Creek is that it could be a health hazard to children playing and swimming around there as they could contact diseases such as polio, hepatitis and typhoid, John McKinnon, a certified public health inspector with the Dominion of Canada and currently the senior public health inspector for the County of Huron talked about the effects of septic tanks on soil, He said that the majority of soil in Blyth consisted of heavy silty clay. He said that 60 per cent of the sewage is absorbed by the soil. But the soil acts like a sponge so it can only take so much and when it has taken all it can a puddle appears on the ground, He said such a problem has occurred at the Blyth Public School, In that case the Board of Health ordered the Board of Education to have the sewage disposed of in a different area, The County Health Unit is in favor of the proposed system, he said. Michael Latta, senior project engineer with the Ministry of the Environment, and the project co-ordinator in Toronto, discussed the cost aspects of the new system. The cost which has been updated to 1979 which is when the operation should be completed have been estimated at $3,877,584. The village will be helped to pay this cost through loans and a grant. The province of Ontario is providing a financial subsidy of 75 per cent of the total cost which wo11111 he $2.915.685, The Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) will also be providing a high cost of grant of $561,093 based on this cost and a gross loan of $886,096.

They roost during the day in caves, hollow trees or farm build- ings. In the evening, guided by their amazing sonar senses, they can be seen flying erratically through forests or over marshes feeding on insects which they catch in their wing or tail membranes. They will often swoop within,inches to catch mos- quitos attracted by humans or animals. Ducks Unlimited (Canada) 186 - '76 THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 3, 1977. PG. 1 quarter of this which is $221,524 will be a forgiveable loan. The village will pay $179,282, The cost was analyzed for an 11 per cent inflation factor over the next 40 years. The charge which is to be imposed on the municipality for the new system is 122.6 cents for every 1000 gallons of sewage taken to the plant, treated and discharged, This service rate will be reviewed on the second year, the fifth year and the tenth year after the new system is installed. A by-law has also been passed to impose a 260 per cent surcharge on the water bill of all users of the new system. Another bylaw has been passed of an annual foot frontage charge of 30 cents per foot. The property owner may prepay this charge in one year at a cost of 2,94 cents per foot, Another by-law also allows for a flankage exemption of 100 feet. And by-law 10-1976 imposed a connection charge of $15 a year for 40 years and here the owner could also prepay in a lump sum of $148, That is for the connection charge to the lot line. Whether a person hooks up to the system or not they will still have to pay the connection charge since the value of the property is increased because of the services and because they might want the system hooked up someday. They just won't have to pay the user charge, Some local people who showed up to voice their objections to the new system were Mrs. William Dalrymple who felt that septic tanks were working well and that Blyth didn't need the new system, Michael Ward who felt the proposed system would cost too much and that it was out of date, and James Lee who felt that the proposed system would cost. too much money and that if Blyth grew, the system would get to be too small, Paul Ross summed things up at the end saying there was a need for the system and that he thought that the cost of the new system was a reasonable one. B.E. Smith and F. -G. Blake, vice chairman of the OMB gave their approval to the new system on several grounds which were: that the survey on June 7 had indicated a severe pollution problem in Blyth and that the survey indicated the pollution was caused by faulty septic tanks, the program takes advantage of various provincial subsidies, They couldn't see using an upgraded septic tank system because of the heavy soil in Blyth and the fact that lot sizes in Blyth average 7000 to 8000 feet which is small for a septic tank system. The Board concluded that the need for the new mechnical sewage system had been demonstrated and that it was not too costly for the village. � f C�t tr $i#d st:to, 4'.1.i i,• •1 4 DA { Ii11 ,i01) t� ; ;,•tit {xNF ,�Wl� k,,1, last §4111/ r' .• } r t ,�;•.,1 I•NST'S byl(6.5b• a f,- jIrfi.,ti r' "'t 4t i tltyknAgo1.3xur NI1.5lts. r I,- LOitttty. !I.x .v}t...(pt y rtrs34 L u s a :• 1114441. �.

It was quite an affair and everyone who took part will have many memories. There are many people who worked many long hours on the event. There are many who gave all their energy for long periods of time to make this event a success. We owe them a sincere debt of gratitude. It's hard to pick out the names, of course, Bill Riehl and his whole committee deserve praise for their dedication, their ideas and their hard work, especially since there were times when things didn't go well for them, when they wondered if the people of Blyth were really interested in a Centennial celebration at all. Perhaps if anyone can be singled out it would be Harve McCallum who did the lion's share of the co-ordinating work for the parade. That parade of course was the highlight of the weekend. Even if everything else hadn't gone as well as it did, the Centennial would have been a success because of the parade alone. Many observers have called it the best parade seen in the area in years and it certainly must rank as the best in Blyth's 100 -year history. It was long, it had tremendous quality and it ran smoothly with few annoying gaps. Praise must go too to all those who took the time to make up floats of such quality as those in the parade. And praise must go to the whole community for getting together to make it a success since no matter how much planning was done, the Centennial wouldn't have worked if people hadn't gotten behind it. Some people have expressed surprise at how well the Centennial went. Frankly, we would have been surprised if it hadn't gone well. Blyth is a pretty unique community with a tremendous spirit. This town built an arena in a few short months and virtually paid for it too. It supports one of the best professional theatres in Canada. It has unique industries. It's just a tremendous community and it proved it again this weekend. Let's keep that spirit going. A positive step A recent release from the Ministry of Education reveals that Education Minister Thomas Wells is still opposed to province -wide examinations in Ontario's school system as the sole means • •f promotion. But it is also evident that Wells and his associates are aware that some sort of uniform diagnosis of pupil strengths and weaknesses is needed in the province's schools. A group of 13 - mostly teachers - was established last fall by Wells to consider evaluation and reporting methods. In their report this month, the group stated that province -wide standardized testing should form only one part of a broader program of student evaluation. It was further recommended that responsibility for the evaluation of student achievement should remain primarily with classroom teachers, but that considerable effort should be taken to improve the evaluation and testing skills of teachers throughout Ontario. This latter recommendation is significant in that it points up the wide variety of opinions among teachers in Ontario concerning what education is, what should be expected of students and what teacher goals should be. While standardized testing across the province was proven to be an unreliable instrument to gauge what students had actually learned, the testing did require teachers to teach a standard course in a fairly standard way to obtain standard results. Many educators today are concerned about the lack of common objectives in the schools. Without them, it is agreed by most teachers, students can be the unsuspecting victims of the cruelest trick of' all...poor preparation for the tasks that lie ahead. It is good to know that some of Wells' work group recommendations will be implemented soon, particularly the development of a bank of tests related to specific curriculum objectives which will be made available to teachers to help them assess student progress as it relates to the provincial scene. With this positive step forward, there is time to haggle for a while yet, about what is the best course of action to follow for the kids in school in Ontario. - Goderich Signal Star.

There are just so many things to be said about the Centennial that we decided to devote the whole column to bits and pieces about it this week. If we said all that should be said it would take up a couple of whole issues of the paper so we'll confine ourselves to some personal impressions. First of all, if you see your editor walking the streets wearing sunglasses t'. next few days, it's I because his eyes have become sensitive to daylight after spend- ing may hours in the last few days in the darkroom develol'ing pictures. Not only was there roll upon roll of film from the Centennial activities here, but at our sister paper up in Teeswater they had a Fireman's Convention this weekend and had a flock of pictures too. In all we developed 12 rolls of film this week. *** Many have remarked that the parade Saturday was the best ever seen in this part of the country. We can't speak too strongly because we haven't seen all the parades but it was certainly the best we've ever seen, not only in length but in dquality. *** If there was any doubt about the need for a sewage system in Blyth it should have been flushed down the drain this weekend after the gallons and gallons of "refresh- ments" that were consumed during the four-day bash. *** Many people conveniently sch- eduled holidays after the big weekend to give themselves times to rest up after a hectic weekend. Not all of us could be so lucky. I imagine many bosses found production was down drastically the early part of the All you can say is wow! week. Luckily, considering the amount of work we had to get done in a holiday -shortened week, our staff was among the most conservative and all were in good shape come Tuesday morn- ing. *** It will be interesting to see just how many of the Centennial beards last. We noticed a few that didn't even last through the weekend and one that didn't even last Friday night. So far, your editor's is still on, but we make no predictions for how long. *** Pitty the poor tourists who wer returning home along highway 4 on Sunday night. They must have thought they'd reached the maddest place on earth when they tried to come through Blyth at the time of the shirt-tail parade. There were hundreds of people lining the streets and hundreds more in crazy garb parading right down the centre of the highway. Some may have just timed it right to have passed through Teeswater where they were having a shirt-tail parade, and Blyth while while both parades were going on. If so, they'll probably never drive along Highway 4 again. *** Probably one of the funniest events all weekend was the firemen's water fight on Monday afternoon. It provided thrills for only only those who were in it but the audience as well. And more than one member of the audience wondered if he'd gotten into it somehow as he tried to dry out, *** One of the marvellous things about the weekend was that aside from the dances, just about everything was free, 1t made for ' a pretty'inexpensive celebration. And most of the dances (which were packed everynight including the midnight dance) were inex- pensive too. *** That storm and four-hour power blackout on Sunday could- n't put the damper on Centennial activities. The Drumhead service was shortened and delayed but went on. The lights were out at Memorial Hall but the show went on anyway with only the light from the windows. The chicken barbecue became even i..ore popular when families were unable to cook their dinners at home and all 800 helping were quickly sold out. *** With all the pictures we took on the weekend we were sure to botch some and the beard contest winners were among those who bit the dust through some goof somewhere. Sorry guys and no, it wasn't sour grapes just because the judges chose the wrong people. YOU'RE WHISTLING IN THE DARK... Jtjr IF YOU THINK THAT .

She was on another continent when word came that Jim and Erma were the proud parents of a baby daughter. So news travelled far! 1t did not seem to be very long until you were going to school. Soon the shy little girl became a lovely teenager. You spent some of your leisure ' me with your horse. You were a very good student with high marks, so quite a few honours were bestowed upon you. You had many interests, until one day you met Bill at a rollerskating party in Brussels and he became your main interest. We would not have known perhaps, but the tied up telephone was proof enough that June was in love with a young man from the other side of Grey.

BY TED HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CRC Since August means vacation time also for a large 'number of people in and around the village of Blyth, we ought to work together to make time off from work wholesome and refreshing, Freedom from work, be that for a. weekend or a week, carries its own challenge; to be able to unwind and prepare for the labours to come, To challenge you to the best possible vacation, I encourage you to reflect about four defferent questions during whatever, time you may have free from work,. These questions, though separate and distinct, will serve you to' make a renewing and refreshing holiday. The first question is: "Who is God?" If your answer, is as in Ps. 14, "There is no God," reflection stops. There is not even sense in speculating 'about the possible existence of a God. You may as well take your vacation to get out of it what there is to get. For some, from a different perspective, God is comparable to a small boy mutilating flies. This God goes put of his way to make life miserable; he sends droughts and floods, 'sickness`and sorrow, to frustrate the plans of men and mice. If such is your understand- ing about God, any reflection about him means seeking ways to escape his cruelty. Vacation then means time to find other ways to keep him* at arm's length, and taking a long boat or airplane to trip to get away from him, even for a few days. Then again, what if this God created the heavens and earth as an alarm clock, wound up, and now quietly, inexorably, ticking away the hours? If after creation this God retreated into the heavens, giving ownership of earth and life to people, the best possible reflection about this God centers . in upon the quest for getting the most out of life. If one can maintain good health and gain prosperity, so be ` it. If poverty, and suffering come, tough; such are the breaks. Each man for himself, and may the devil get the hindmost. There is also the answer that God is the Creator of heaven and . earth, the Father of Jesus Christ, who, incarnate, came to reveal the God who made the Church the beginning of the new heavens and earth. If the is your answer, it is not enough to say, "That's it!" and stop. Reflection must contin- ue. There are such fools who merely claim that God is the Fatter of Christ Jesus, and then live as if he does not exist, Reflection about him who proclaims with such absolute assurance, "I am the Lord, the God of heaven and earth," and about Christ, who came to reveal the Father, and about the Holy Spirit, who draws attention to both the Father and the Son, meets with a definite response. What does this Triune God say about himself, about the history of the world, ,about the meaning of life, and about who 1 am? I implore you to ask over and over, "Who is God?" Any time is a good . time for reflection, whether you "arc driving from town to town, whether you are quietly fishing, whether you arc watching the sun rise or set in glorious colours, whether you are visiting, or puttering around the house. Or even in conversation. Who is this God who lays absolute ownership to history, life, and myself, at his doorstep? To answer this challenge meets with another question, "Where do I find out about this god?" If you by grace alone meet God's own 'answer to this quest1 , your, yacation will be the richest, most satisfying possible. Of course, it is much more difficult to ask, "Who is God? then to ask, "Where are we going to eat next?" but it will be refreshing, much more so, to answer the first. With that question settled about God, we can go to the others, namely, "Where is the world going?" and, "What is the purpose , of life?" and, "Who am I?" But First, "Who is God?"

It says you sleep with your•ownwife. It says DON'T do what you "WANT"...you do what you "OUGHT" and for those whose consciences are anesthetised it specified which is which!

From the minister's study.. 1 believe in God BY PASTOR CECILE MARQUETTE THE CHURCH OF GOD AT BLYTH Daily Bible reading and prayer are two of the best ways to grow in a closer relationship to God, Scripture tells us that the Pharisses were well noted for their long prayers and for their thorough search of the scriptures. Jesus had a very important message for the Pharisees. "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me," John 5:39. JJV. The Pharjsees searched the scriptures with the wrong motives, They • wanted to support their arguments whereas they should have been searching with an open mind to find the truth of the scripture. Although, the scriptures told of Christ they totally missed Him. In the forty-third verse of the fifth chapter of John we find they received others who came in their own name but not Christ, God himself. The reason for this being the Pharisees did not have the love of God in their hearts. There is a very important message for us in this. It is not enough that we can repeat scripture or that we are known for our strict bbservance of the law, these have their place and are important, but we need a personal relationship with the living of Christ. Only when we know and trust Christ inwardly in our hearts and not with mere head knowledge that there is a God can we have eternal life with Christ. To know and trust Christ is to absolutely believe everything that Christ ever said, did, was and is, is unquestionably true otherwise Christ was and is a liar, not a good man or a prophet but a liar. When we believe Christ is everything He claimed to be --• God who loves and came to save man, then let us -accept Christ as our personal SaGior and exclaim with the writer of Hebrews: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever."

There is one type among the species of Man that puzzles and saddens me. In an age that congratulates /itself on its openness, its honesty, its "Let it all hang out" attitude, the hyprocrite is still very much with us, Some people might think the 19th century was the golden agd of hypocrisy. Certainly, it set some high standards in this line. There were the manufacturers who preached enlightenment and progress on the one hand, and on the other worked children 60 hours a week in their factories. There were the men who brayed of chastity as one of the prime virtues, and dallied with prostitutes, There were the men who spoke glowingly of a gentler way of life, and set savage fighting dogs on one another. The list is endless, And the women! Oh, but weren't they hypocrites, too? Just as tough and voracious as any woman of today, they hid these traits behind a facade of Hypocrisy still a big problem today • gentility, humility, helplessness and fainting fits. It was an era in which the public mouthing of the Christian virtues was only exceeded by the private materialism, corruption, and sometimes downright vi -1 ciousness of the middle and upper classes. Well, then, have we got rid of this particularly obnoxious type, well into the second half of the 20th century? Not bloody likely! Perhaps we're not quite as hypocritical as the Victorians,Irk but I wouldn't want to bet on it.' All that's changed is the terms of reference. No maufacturer today could get away with hiring children. But don't think they're any less heartless than their forebears. At least, in the 19th century, you knew the boss was a bastard. Today, a company can "reorgan- ize", and turn half a dozen middle-aged men into the street by an "executive decision." Many men in today's society still practice a double standard, Books in the Blyth Public Library MEMORY'S WALL BY.

A man who gets drunk has had "a few too many". A woman who gets drunk is "Disgusting". A man can go to a business convention and have a fling with a call girl. If his wife kisses a couple of guys at the New Year's. Eve party a bit too warmly, she's a sex maniac, We have politicians who spout of peace add plan for war, doctors who preach against drugs and tell you cigarettes will kill you, even, as they butt their 50th coffin nail of the day and pop a couple of bennies to keep going. We have pillars of the church who you wouldn't trust as far as you could bounce a bowling ball in a swamp. We have all kinds of characters who will cheat 'on their income tax, and then berate people on welfare for "ripping off the government". We have teachers who "can't understand the attitude of young people today," completely forget- ting that they themselves were insolent, lazy, and not even that bright when they were young people. We have mothers 'who got in the family way at 19; and had a shot -gun marriage, bewailing the "sexual licence" of their daugh- ters. We have fathers who deplore at •length the slothfulness of their sons, conveniently ignoring that they had to,have a good boot in the tail from their own fathers before they'd even carry out the ashes. We have school trustees who will double over in an agony of glee after hearing •a filthy joke, but in public sternly deplore the "pornography" children are be- ing exposed to in their school literature, They are the type who will respond with chuckles and even belly laughs to the secual leers of Norman Lear in Maude and All in the Family, but thunder fulminat- ingly against a fine novel like The Diviners by Margaret. Laurence. They arc the type who don't want anything racier than "The Bobbsey Twins" taught in school, but will shout with ribald laughter' at smut on television and take in every restricted movie in . town, laughing when there is bloodshed on the screen, , and nudging heavily when a couple of naked bodies start squirming on the celluloid strip. What about today's 'women? Are they less hypocritical than their great-grandmothers?. On the whole, . I'd say yes. They're just as blasted irritating as ever, but they're most honest. They still cry for no apparent reason, out they know there's no percentage in pulling a faint. They'd probably just get a glass of water in the face, But even the women are a long way from being out of the woods, when it comes to hypocrisy, And . many of the biggest hypocrites are "surface" feminists, They want all the perks of the new freedom, and all the treats of the old "essence of woman." Oh well, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone," I'm.certainly not talking about • me and thee, gentle reader.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 3, 1977* Looking at trout This week Rocky Raccoon has some interesting facts on trout, their habitat and the different stream enhancement projects used to crfeate a more favorable habitat. A good trout stream consists of clear, cold, well•aeraited water. Aquatic invertebrates suitable as food for trout are supported in these streams, Deep water, bolders and undercut banks act as "escape cover" for trout. By shading the water, vegetation along the streams make the fish less visible to preditors. Through neglect, indifference and destruction, hundreds of miles of trout habitat have been lost in Ontario. Serious changes and stresses have been placed on trout habitat by expanding populations and modern techno- logy, Man-made dams prevent the migratory fish from reaching spawning grounds. The ponds former the dam create higher temperatures. The reduced flow and flooding cause siltation and deteriorated water quality occurs. These factors produce an inferior trout habitat. Man often removes much of, or all vegetation to allow for maximum use of his acreage. The IOss of bank stability causes silt to wash into the stream, screening out light, stunting the growth of plants which serve as food for trout. When trees are removed from along the bank flood and draught conditions more readily orlr. This diversity of water quality reduce the stream's capacity to produce fish, Many farmers depend on streams to provide water for their cattle. Streamside plants are trampled and eaten, destroying fish and cover and food and allows silt to be washed into the stream. Lower water quality results from cattle excretion degrading trout suitability to the stream. Most of us are aware of the pollution problem. The oxygen supply is decreased when sewage is dumped into the stram without proper treatments. Urban and agricultural run-off allow chemi- cals used in agriculture, industry and in the home to enter the stream and reduce water quality and sometimes killing fish. Some trout habitat we will never be able to restore, however, most streams can still be restored with co-operation among indus- tries, government and landown- ers. Restoration can be performed by several techniques. Fishways may be installed to provide a passage for migratory fish over barriers such as dams. The entrance can be found easily by the fish and the exit leads quickly into the main current. A fishway is expensive and requires continuous maintenance. Such a fishway can be found, at Port Albert. By planting suitable vegetation raw stream banks can be stabilized and restored. A mix- ture. of fast growing grass and legumes followed by the planting of trees and shrubs. Willows are usually stabilizers, however, overshading may occur. Densely shaded stream may be less productive than undershaded areas. Streamside vegetation can be easily protected from cattle and other livestock by constructing a fence. Watering and crossing areas can be designated. By fencing out livestock the present vegetation continues to grow along with new plant growth. Streams should not be treated like sewers allowing septic tank and barnyards to drain into them. Wetlands, floodplains and stream banks should not be used to throw garbage on. Equipment used to apply chemicals should not be cleaned along watercourses. All suspected pollution should be reported to the Ministry' of the Environment and Ministry of Natural Resources.

D*UIgn by Linda McMaster, DEAR ANN LANDERS: A recent survey in our local paper said a working woman could accomplish more than a housewife, I'd like to challenge that statement,. I've done both and I'm just as busy one way or the other. When 1 held a full-time job downtown I didn't cook, I defrosted. Nobody complained and everyone pitched in. Now that I am no longer bringing in a paycheck, everyone rushes out of the house, leaving beds unmade, towels on the floor, you name it. The woman who stays home has to run a hundred errands. She also has to do a lot more for her kids. And boy, how those working mothers take advantage of mothers who don't work! I'ni worn out from driving other people's children all over town -- picking them up and taking them back. Do their moms, the great Letter to the editor Writer protests THE' EDITOR: After attending the OMB hearing into the seemingly approved sewerage system, I came out of the meeting with a feeling of dismay, not because my own particular views on the subject were rejected, but be- cause of the way in which the meeting was organized. It was in essence a formality. None of the comments and suggestions given by myself or the members of the community were given anything other than passing comments by the mem- bers of the Board, the panel of experts or the two members of council who attended. Many people, including myself, felt intimidated by the collective oppressiveness of those directing the meeting. It looks like one more example of bureaucracy suffering from an acute attack of tunnel vision. Michael Ward, Blyth. Be a RED CROSS BLOOD DONOR THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 3, 1977. PG. 15. Mom says it's tougher staying at home career women of the world, ever say "thank you"? Never. •'So, let's hear it for the housewife who does nothing but stay home and knock herself out 18 hours a day -- cooking, baking, cleaning, scrubbing, washing, ironing, doing errands and running a taxi service for her kids and mothers who "work," -- "Loafing" In Dallas. DEAR "LOAFING": Several women have written to express the same point of view •• but you said It best. Thanks for a good letter. DEAR ANN LANDERS:. My husband has a habit of waking up at 5:00 a.m. He either turns on the ceiling light, the TV in our bedroom, or the radio, Sometimes he turns on all three. If I say one word he becomes very ugly, I work hardand would just love to stay in bed until 6:30 a.m. Sometimes I sleep in the guest room but 1 realize this is no solution. Besides, when 1 do this he become sullen and uncommun- icative. I should explain that this problem occurs only periodically -- when he has intermittent bouts with insomnia, (They last for weeks.) Then he will have a few months of normal sleep. I do feel sorry for him but I think he shoudl show some consideration for me. I need advice because he will do nothing to change his ways. •-Bleary Eyed Me. DEAR YOU: It is obvious your husband is annoyed by the sight of you sleeping blissfully when he is unable to enjoy the same pleasure. Such feelings are hostile and immature, When he goes into his insomniac phase, move to the guest room, Go to "visit" him periodically so you will know when he has fallen back into his normal sleeping pattern. If he gets ugly, show him this column and put the blame on me, DEAR ANN LANDERS:If two sisters are feuding, what should the position of the other members of the family be? And if they attempt to remain neutral how can they maintain this posture when it becomes more and more apparent that one sister is browbeating the other? I am in the family described and would stay out of it but our mother is old and not well, She is very unhappy over the feud and we need a plain spoken person likg you to say something. •-E,C.

Blyth takes a break in the arduous chore of life in pioneer Blyth with the help of his faithful porter, played by Richard Prevett, in a scene from the Blyth Memorial History Show. Though specifically about Blyth the show is of general interest and so hilarious that critics from Toronto and London newspapers have given it rave reviews. Theatre review History Show brings Blyth's history hysterically to life BY DEBBIE RANNEY Blyth residents got a special treat Wedesday night at the opening of the Blyth Memorial History Show as they relived their past 100 years of history in a show that was more hysterical than historical. Jim Schaefer's crazy play about Blyth's past 100 years had something in it for everyone and even the musicians got to do a bit of acting. The actine talents of the Blyth company are easily proven here as tney mange to pantomime a lot of the action as in the scene where Hugh the bartender (Angie Gei) pours drinks and slides them down the bar for Teddy Begley and Dr. Purdue. The cast plays everything from people to animals and manage to jump back from one character to another and do it very well. Director Janet Amos has managed to keep the show moving at such a fast pace that all new surpriscs are unexpected. Its almost impossible to cite single performances here since each member of the cast played so many roles but an especially amusing performance is given by Layne Coleman as the storyteller who manages to do the whole thing poker-faced making it all the more amusing for the audience. Another classic comedy perfor- mance just had to be that of Richard Prevett as the cow who manages funnier expressions than most cows have. Alfred Humphreys proves his talent in both a comic and serious role as Kenneth McBain and Ron Barry again gets to show his flair for the comedic, especially while playing Etienne Brule, the fey Frenchman and as Henry D. Blyth, the height of English snobbery, Angie Gei shows her versatility as she moves from playing everything from Cather- ine Battye and the village of Blyth to the roles of two men -- John Templeton, and Hugh the barten- der. The cast members as preset.• day local citizens arc hilarious. Ron Barry as Jimmie Lawrie, and Layne Coleman as village clerk Larry Walsh have managed to capture the very essence and mannerisms of the people they portray. Diane Douglass as Mrs. Webster and Richard Prevett as Roy Buchanan were also amusing in their roles and judging by audience reaction to their por- trayal (since I've never met the people they were playing) they also must have had their characters down oat, The musical numbers here are mainly for fun as is the rest of the show, but the excellent singing voice in the crowd here belongs to Diane Douglass who gives an almost haunting quality to "The i've Been Around This Town Too Long Blues Sone". Jim Schaefer has written as show that enables the audience and the players to enjoy them- selves and feel like equals and the audience certainly enjoyed them- selves on Wednesday night. They enjoyed themselves so much in fact that they gave the play an standing ovation. If you haven't lost your imapinatinn or your sense of the Losurd yet, or if you have any troubles, l he Blyth Memorial History Show provides an escape through the route of laughter. Fireworks sponsored by the Blyth Lions and Legion brought the Centennial Celebrations to an end Monday night. Here a special effects photograph shows one of the burst of light. Huronview news There was a good attendance at the Sunday evening song service sponsored by the Clinton Chris- tian Reformed Church and led by Mr. Dick Roorda. Peggy Sloote- graaf sang three solo numbers and provided her own guitar accompaniment. Seven of the younger children formed a choir and sang several of the familiar hymns, A newly formed musical group from the Clinton arca "The Greenslceves" entertained on Family Night. Mr. John Newell is the leader of the band and plays the electric organ. Beatrice Thompson and Janice Miller play elctric guitars and along with John sing in harmony and in parts for many of the songs. Pat Thurlow thanked the entertainers on behalf of the residents. The weather has been ideal for the outdoor b. becures with ohe being held for each area during the past two weeks. Mr. Ed Stiles of Goderich entertained on Thursday aft. r - noon with an hour of organ music. Mrs. Geiger of Zurich who was visiting relatives at the Home on Thursday led the sing•a-long.
