BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 20 CENTS VOLUME 87 - NO. 32. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1977. Betty Bowes [wife of fire chief ,Irwin Bowes] [left], and June Hull present the Long Service Medal to Mrs. Mary Bailie, wife of the late George Baffle. The medal which was given by the Ontario government and the Blyth Fire Department is given to Firemen's wifes for their husbands' 30 years in Volunteer Fire Service. Blyth Council accepts.. offer to clean 'up dump After complaining about the state of the Blyth 'dump for several years, the Ministry, of the Environment has decided to try the persuaysiveness of the dollar to get changes. The Blyth_viliage council Monday night agreed to go along with an offer from the Ministry of a $1000 grant to help with levelling and general cleanup of the site. - The Ministry has been insisting for several years that the burning fof garbage at the dump should be halted in favour of a landfill . method of , disposal; Several successive councils have argued that the burning does not to much harm because of the location of the dump and the relatively small amount of garbage to be burned and that the cost of landfill is beyond the ability of the village to pay. The battle has gone back and forth for years ,until the present offer was submitted and accepted. In other business, council passed the necessary bylaw to get proceed with the Blyth sealer, project after.. approval was given recently by the Ontario Municipal Board. Permission was given to the Blyth branch of the Canadian Legion to extend their clubhouse building 10 feet to the rear, including infringing three feet on the lawn of Memorial Hall. The move was not taken without considerable discussion including whether or not the Memorial Hall property might be needed in future for expansion of Memorial Hall. Ralph Campbell was present to ask council's permission to construct a four -apartment building on Dinsley Street east, Council not only approved the project but told Mr. Campbell they thought the building was badly needed in the village. Mr. Campbell also asked council's thoughts on locating a trailer park on his newly-acduiredproperty in the east end and was fold council would certainly be in favour. The written report from Art Clarke, building inspector on the senior citizens apartment project reaffirmed many of the complaints about the worksmanship. at the building that. Mr, Clarke had delivered in person last month. However, the structural engineer on the project has certified the foundation, strong enough so work will continue. Council received a letter -from the Canadian Pacific Railway asking council's Hallett accepts A tender for $200 open and $5900 closed plus $15 for connections and open work for the Verwey drain was accepted by Hullett Township Council at their regular meeting -held Monday, July 4. Also at the meeting, interest charges against Winston Powell for the Veenstra Drain were dropped. Other motions about tile drains included a motion to accept the complete report of the Tile Drain Inspector and to instruct the clerk to prepare the necessary by-law which was carried as was the third reading of a by-law to impose special annual drainage rate's upon lands in respect of which money is borrowed under the. Tile Drainage Act 1971 and a .motion was carried to consider the Garrett-Shobbrook drainage report and the Forbes drainage report at a meeting on July 26. . In other business, Joe Hunking and Clare Vincent were nominated to be voting delegates to the A.M.O. •Convention in Toronto on August 21. A third reading was held to assume the ownership of the Ebenezer Cemetery and carried and Murray Lyon and Joe' Hunking were appointed as additional members of the Blyth' Arena Board. thoughts on removal of the old station house off Westmoreland Street, Council was unanimously in objecting to the removal saying the building was a land- mark and was presently being used by a local company for a warehouse and was being kept in good repair. Three recent bequests have helped local bodies. Mrs. Elsie Chellew left $1000 to Memorial Hall and $1000 to the Union Cemetery. Mrs. Dorothy Little left $1000 to the Cemetery. drain tenders A special meeting of Hullett Township Council was held in Londesboro Commun- ity Hall on July 26 to consider the Engineer's , reports on the Garret-Shob- brook Drainage Works and the . Forbes Drainage Works. William Shifflett from Gamsby-Manner- ow was there as were several interested owners. There was some discussion about the highway affecting the amount of water which should be, or should not be going in the drain. Mr. Shifflett explained the situation to the owners who seemed satisfied with his explanations. A motion stating that the Engineer's Report should be provisionally adopted with the Court of Revision to be set for Aug.' 22 at 8:30 p.m. was carried. Mr. Shifflett also explained the Forbes Drain Report to the owners . who were disappointed that• the work hadn't been carried further up past a Catch Basin, to drain more of Lot 28, Con. 7. The Engineer pointed out that field tile would be more economical and effective in Lot 28 than an extension of the Municipal Drain Tile. A motion was carried to provisionally adopt.this Report and set up the Court of Revision for Aug. 22 at 9 p.m. Inside Editorial Church Classified Entertainment Page 4 Page 7 Page 14 Page 15 John Elliott resigns finance chairman Blyth trustee, John Elliot resigned as chairman of Huron County Board of ,Education's budget committee Monday. Mr. Elliott's resignation at the end of the Board's regular meeting Monday after- noon was obviously unexpected by other board members. Board chairman, Herb Turkheim asked Mr. Elliott to leave the matter for the Chairman's advisory committee to consider. "I think the chairman's advisory committee should appoint another member because 1 am not going to reconsider," Mr. Elliott replied. Earlier in the meeting, Mr. Elliott had strongly objected to the Board approving three field trip applications which he said were "unbudgeted expenditures". "That is roughly $440 of unbudgeted money we are spending," he said. Mr. Elliott said the unbudgeted expenditure was for supply teachers to replace those that are away on the field trip. Over the year a lot of funds are spent that aren't budgeted. Trying to set an accurate budget was an "insurmountable task" for the budget'comniittee, Mr. Elliot said. D.J. Cochrane, director of education, said the money wasn't budget, The board bases its supply teacher's budget on how much cost they had the year before. The board approved the three applica- tions for field trips. Trustee Shirley Hazlitt said the board should look at the number of field trips taken and the benefits derived from them as well as the financing. A three member committee was established to investigate the matter with Mrs. Hazlitt as' chairman. Board stands behind text books The Huron County Board of Education defeated a motion Monday calling for the removal of two English texts from the county secondary school system. Trustee John Henderson put forward the motion when a list of 13 English literature texts came before the Board for approval. He said the books "A Taste of Honey", which was on the list, and "The Diviners" which was not, should not be approved. "These are books that shouldn't be allowed in the schools," he said. He did not elaborate. Superintendent of Education, James Coulter told the Board that the list of Grade 13 Literature books had already been in use in the school system for a long period. He said their use had not been approved by the Huron Board of Education because they were already in use before the County System was set up. I don't think we 'should be taking books out that are already 'in use," trustee Alex Corrigan said. After the defeat of Mr. Henderson's motion for removal of the books, trustee Dorothy Wallace introduced a motion calling for the text list to be approved. The motion was carried, Later in the meeting, trustee Eugene Frayne asked Mr. Coulter if the teachers were abiding by the rules set down by the Board which stipulate books with "quest- ionable language" should not be introduc- ed into the school system. Mr. Coulter said the teachers were • following the guidelines. "The books on the list are not new books in the system,' he said. PG, 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 10, 1977, DEAR ANN LANDERS: May 1 tell you how your country looks to the' eyes of a foreigner? One hears a great deal about the energy crisis in the United States. Well, I am not surprised. There is no place in all the world where laziness and creat- ure -comforts are so expensively encouraged. For example: You people can't cut a roast without an electric knife. You can't wash a few dishes without an electric dishwasher. You must use a blender to whip cream, mix a cake or prepare an omelet. You buy ftozen foods which must ne kept in a freezer because you are too A look at America from an outsider busy (lazy) to go to the market and purchase fresh food, which is much cheaper, more healthful, and tastes better. I have never seen so many gadgets in all my life! And everything is run by electric current. I rarely see clothes hanging on lines of your back- yards. Women use electric washer -dryers and then they must add something store-bought • to make the clothes smell fresh. Nobody walks anywhere or uses a bicycle which would be marvelous exercise. In fact, bicyclists are looked upon as "obstructionists" by drivers of your gas -guzzlers. The wastefulness I have seen in the U.S. is a scandal. The meals served in restaurants are double what they should be. The food thrown out by families (leftovers) is a disgrace. Almost everyone is overweight and trying to diet. It doesn't add up. • If your President Carter thinks he can convert the American people to a lifestyle of austerity and sacrifice .. good luck to him. So it's back to good old England for me -- and I'll bet you don't have the guts to publish this. --Lassie From Lancashire. DEAR LASSIE:During World War II we Americans tightened our belts, took our fat cans to the butcher (if you'll pardon the expression), accepted shortages and rationing without complaint and we survived just fine, thank you. We are a treat nation -- capable of making any sacrifice necessary to meet this country's needs. But first we must believe there is a crisis, and that's the problem. I have tremendous admiration for the English and ° their indomitable spirit. But the aspect of our own government whibh worries me the most is in the areas where it seems to be imitating yours. Bon Voyage, Lassie. DEAR ANN LANDERS: May 1 comment on the letter from the man who signed his letter, "Planning on Sex Until Ninety?" I wonder what his wife is planning. Suicide,/ probably. I know because I am married to the same kind of sex maniac, We are in our early 60s and I have had enough sex to last me for the rest of my life --even if I live to be 100. Oh, I pretend a lot and never say 0 no,, My old goat would just love any excuse to look elsewhere. but I'm not going to give it to him. Never thought I'd live to see the day when I was in favor of premarital sex, but I am. People should learn before marriage what the other's sexual appetite is like. Bet you don't have the nerve to print this, --Tired DEAR TIRED: You and the lassie in the first' letter both lose.

Mildred [Lynda Langford] tries to protect the fallen Malcolm [Jack,Rlum] from the raving Jim [Alfred Humphreys] In a scene from The Shortest Distance Between Two Points which won a standing ovation at its premiere Tuesday night. Theatre review Tears of laughter from Festival play. BY DEBBIE RANNEY Although it gets off to a slow start, The Shortest Distance Between Two Points builds up into such a hilaribus comedy that the tears of laughter will be rolling down your cheeks. Local playwright and Blyth Standard editor Keith Roulston has managed ,to write a play that humourously digs at political issues and shows what could happen someday if citizens felt they had' been pushed too far by government bur'aucracy, The story centers around the village of Elmtree Valley where things move slowly and peace- fully until the provincial govern- ment threatens to run a highway through the village thus destroy- ing the building and the existence of the village. The play pokes a funny finger at what is considered to be a serious problem in Canada -- the Quebec separation, when the tiny, village as a solution to its problems decides to secede from Canada and become an indepen- dent country. The Blyth Summer Festival members put everything they have into this show with exceptional performances given by • Layne Coleman as ' the slow -talking but wise -cracking farmer Charlie, and Richard Prevett-as Hector the town drunk, who finds the solution to the village's problems with Premier Smilie and his proposed highway. A good performance is also given by Lynda Langford as Mildred the council member who blackmails Scottie the Reeve (well played by Brendan McKane) into, making the village a separate country with some rather reveal. ing pictures of a.. drunken escapade of his. Alfred Humphreys plays Jim the car salesman who is out to get every cent from the buying public and is thrilled with the idea of the new highway since he thinks it'll mean more and bigger business for him. Humphreys is in characteristically funny form as he discovers that such is not the case and joins drunken Hector's army to help fight against the coming of the new highway. Ron Barry is as usual in top comedy form as Premier Smilie, the dignified man who turns into a sniveling coward when forced to reverse his decision on the highway. How he is forced to do this is much too good to reveal and provides some of the most hilarious moments of the play. It is at this point in_the play also, that Richard Prevett has his most (ARE r with all your heart... Your gift to CARE means safer water for rural families.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 10, 1977. On sex and violence There's been a lot of talk going on about the overflow of pornography and violence into every aspect of our everyday lives, The issue has finallycome to a head with the brutal sex slaying of Emanuel Jacques, the Toronto shoeshine boy. It's hard to believe that anybody would wish to destroy a young boy with his whole life ahead of him, in such a way. It's obvious now that our society and our pornography‘is helping to produce a world of sick minds and maybe that public outcry of rage in Toronto will produce some results. it's something to be hoped for, anyway. Unfortunately there are still some who refuse to see the sad and bad aspects of such a case as the Jacques boy. When people were clamoring to,get rid of the places on Toronto's main strip that had anything to do with pornography, one man protested the destroying of massage parlors, saying that while the rich man could afford to have a mistress, the poor man could only have his mistress at the 'massage parlor. So give the guy a break and put the massage parlors out of the main part of the city and into the outskirts. Well, hurray for human nature and sympathy. Put the massage parlors on the outskirts near the water front and see if that stops those brutal slayings. It'll probably only create another pornography strip down there. - I Pornography is becoming more prevalent in our society with the. advent of more and more sex magazines, more.body rub parlors and more porno movies. Sex and violence have been the complaint of many a citizen lately which proves that there are still a lot of moralists left to fight the good fight. And speaking of violence, there's been a lot of slayings lately. There were those two girls in London who got fooled by a man wearing a policeman's uniform and who's to say another man won't catch on to some violent act from watching the "boob tube". After all the killer of the London girls dressed up as a policeman to get in their apartments and that same plot was on an episode of Baretta one night. Then there's Son of Sam, the New York killer who's still on the loose and giving the police a hard time of it, And over in England they've got their own killer that they call the "Ripper." Even small towns are becoming breeders of violence •if only in a small way. Beer bottles thrown through store windows, speeding cars and drunken fights -•all just little acts but they could lead to bigger and more dangerous things. In order to get rid of the violence, get rid of some of the causes. Already television networks are reacting to public. pressure and switching more and more to comedy and human involvement themes. Freedom of the press is a good thing and maybe you shouldn't censor what other people want to read or maybe you shouldn't censor people's freedom in how they want to live their own lives. But if such reading or such human pleasures are destroying human and moral values in society they should definitely be replaced. BY DEBBIE RANNEY Television less than perfect Television --the communicator. It can be a good or a bad thing depending on how you look at it. Canadian television programming? It too can be a good or bad thing. There have been many good things about Canadian television programming in the past few years. Informative news programs such as W5, Canada A.M.Iand Maclear have been making an impressive mark on the world of Canadian television. Shows like This Land, and Country Canada have been giving Canadians a unique look at how people.in different parts of "this land" live. Our game shows are not so much to give away a grand prize and hear the wild screaming that goes with them as they are to test the intelligence. Shows like Definition, and Headline Hunters don't have big prizes, just smart contestants, • and shows like Front Page Challenge are informative and entertaining all at the same time. Yes, Canada is doing well on the information and game shows but what about the kind 0', shows that we depend on the Americans fori, Where are the highly necessary and almost nowhere to be seen good Canadian dramas and comedy series? There have been a few feeble efforts made in the direction of relieving this problem, but a Canadian comedy or a Canadian drama is always easy to spot and always for the same reason. It lacks the one ingredient that holds American shows together and that's atmosphere, This lack of atmosphere may be a unique • attempt not to copy the Americans but a show needs atmosphere to hold it together, and keep the audience interest. A Canadian movie that was on television recently called "Sudden Fury" had the necessary atmosphere and it was a good sho5so it can be done. But still it was easy to tell it was a Canadian show, this time for a different reason. The reason was the swearing in it. That makes the show as easily identifiable as if it had a stamp on it marked, "Made in Canada". Sure Canadians swear and so do Americans but they don't have a swear word in every sentence of their television script. One of the most proclaimed Canadian movies, "Going down the Road" had more swear words in it than most people would say in a month publicly. When they show an American movie on television, there's always an announcer who says that, "this movie has been edited for television", but what happened to editing Canadian movies for television? if Canadians could find the necessary atmosphere and eliminate the swear words, they still have another problem. Where are they going to get the ideas for their shows? How about from books by Canadian authors? Sure they've tried it with Pierre Berton's book, "The Last Spike" and it came off very well but Pierre Berton isn't the only writer in Canada. If Americans can do it with, "Little House on the Prairie", with the series based on the set of Laura Ingalls Wilder books why couldn't Canada do the same with, say as an example, "Anne of Green Gables." Canadians seem to have a very low opinion of themselves and what they can and can't produce. There must be just as many good Canadian writers as there are American ones and if they can be found and the right kinds of shows are produced, then we're on our way and we can have one more reason for our• nationalistic pride.

Riehl, 'Blyth; Ontario NOM.1HO Dear Bill, • • Just a note to express our appreciation for the opportunity to take part in Blyth's Centennial celebrations, The arrangements were superb and 1 am sure your efforts were appreciated by all of Blyth's residents. Your sincerely .- 11. E. McKinley, M.P. Huron -Middlesex Mr. Wm. Riehl Chairman of Blyth Centennlal Dear Mr. Richt, 1 feel I would be very remiss not to congratulate you and your committee, all other groups or persons, who had major or minor participation in the recent very successful Centennial Days in Blyth. Your may all well be proud of your long and untiring efforts. 1 had the pleasure of attending BY KEITH ROULSTON Pardon me if I seem a little preoccupied these days. This newspaper business is always hectic and confused and I'm one of its most confused practioners but things have gotten completely ridiculous lately. As some of you may know, I've been involved in another project lately. As I sit at the typewriter this afternoon (Tuesday) it is only a, few hours before curtain time for the opening of my first play to be produced professionally. My fingernails have long since disappeared and by curtain time I'll likely be working on my knuckles. Under the best of circum- stances the experience would be nerve wracking, (opening any show is, let alone your firstput things are made worse by trying to hold down one more -than -full- time job running a newspaper while working at another, produc- ing a play. Luckily for me I've had a very helpful and patient staff at the paper on one hand and a very helpful and patient director and cast on the other, not to mention a very helpful and patient family at home (they really didn't have much choice because I've hardly seen them in the last week). It's been quite a learning experience though. I've been involved in a lesser way with theatre for some years now but it was the first time I've ever been right inside a production as it took place. It made even stronger my great admiration for the people who work so hard to put shows on stage, particularly at the theatre I'm most involved with The Blyth Summer Festival. We hear so much today about people not having pride in their work anymore. We're so used to things falling apart because workmen didn't care enough about their job to take the little extra effort needed. Many times we can't even get some good old service because workmen are on strike, wanting higher pay and shorter weeks and lord knows what else. That kind of thing is non-exist- ent in theatre, or at least among the people I've had the pleasure to work with. The hours are long, the pay is low (about $150 a week when the actor is working and there are often long periods between work), Yet these people put • so much into their work.' There is little griping, just dedication to doing it right. Few people realize just how much various functions on Sunday and could quickly see the tremendous amount of planning and work it all involved. It indeed will long be remem; bered as a very happy occasion, highlight is always meeting old friends again,, Blyth was attractively decorat- ed and drives around the village showed remarkable progress in the last few years. Keep up,the good workl, Sincerely Anne [Powell] Pakenham Dear William, Congratulations to you person- ally as Centennial Chairman. It was a wonderful success and greatly enjoyed by hundreds of former residents of Blyth. Hundreds of little re -unions of friends and acquaintances. A most enjojable event for so many of us. Thanks and best wishes. Wm. S. McVittle Mr, We Riehl, Blyth Post Office, BLYTH, Ontario. Dear Mr, Richt, Just a note to thank the Blyth Centennial Committee so much for inviting my husband and myself to join in the, 100th Birthday Celebrations on Satur- day, I was so glad to be asked to unveil the commemorative plaque. . The parade was marvellous; 1 do hope that all those present enjoyed themselves as much as we did, and that the storm on Sunday did , not upset the arrangements for that day too much. Thank you also for the delicious luncheon, and for the original gift of a sheepskin rug. When we got it home, we had a chance to appreciate how beautifully the skin had been tanned; it really is an exceptionally fine one, Yours sincerely, Pauline M. McGibbon, Lleutenanl-Governor. It's a delight to work with dedicated- professionals work goes into the making of any product and a play is one of them. The director, actors and some- times the writer, may work every day for weeks to make sure the thousands of little details are right that make the show work. A slight slip in the timing of the delivery of a line by an actor can detract ,from a scene. The wrong inflection on a single word can make a good joke fall flat. An actor has to work so hard not just to learn his lines, but to get inside the skin of the character. Just simply saying a line without understanding why the character would' say it will mean that the audience sees just an actor, not the real character intended. Sometimes an actor can slip into his character quickly but other times it may take painful weeks of soul searching before he can feel really comfortable in a role, The director, all the while, has to help the actor find his character, to disect everything he sees to know if it will work well or should be changed, to criticize without bruising • the ego of the actor which is such an important thing for someone who has to get - up on stage; to give praise when things go well; to try not to be too harsh when they don't. And all the time, when you have a theatre producing a new play, there is the constant polishing of lines, the word change there, the line change elsewhere, often right up to the last dress rehearsal • all to make sure that the audience will be able to see the best show possible; Meanwhile there's another crew working hard to .add their very important element to the play. The designer is working with her plans with the carpenter and the costume mistress and the electrician to have the set built, the costumes made and fitted to the actors and the lighting perfected. They too work imposs- ible hours, often 24 hours at a time to *get their part . of;,the project together. And co-ordinating the whole thing is the stage management crew making sure that communi- cations are kept open, that things are done on time, solving the hundreds of little problems that may arise. in all, 25.30 people are involved putting this particular show together. They've spent thou- sands of man-hours on something that will last two short hours on the stage. it demonstrates graph- ically why theatre is hardly ever profitable. Even .with the low pay scale most of the people are working at, imagine how many people would have to see a show to pay all the salaries involved?

Some people probably think that if theatre can't pay its own way, we should do without it.

'One quarter of Ontario students smoke pot, survey shows ' One quarter of all students in Ontario schools have used cann- abis et onceii the or thl2 hashish) according to a recent study presented to the Huron County Board of erloratinn Monday. A total of 81,9 percent had used alcohol in the same period. The provincial study of alcohol and drug use among Ontario students in 1977, which included Huron County, said 25.1 percent of students in grades 7 to 13 had used cannabis .in the last year. ' The study which involved' 104 schools said the users of most drugs used them infrequently in the previous year. "The majority of users of glue, solvents, heroin,- speed,' psycho- active drugs and illicit drugs reported using them only once or twice. However, use of alcohol, cannabis and tobacco was much more frequent•among users," the report prepared by the Addiction Research Foundation said... Alcohol was drunk at least once a week or more by 17.9 percent of the students, cannabis was used 10 or more times by 11.9 percent of all students. About 16 percent had been drunk and 23 percent had had at least five drinks on some occasion in the preceding month. In most cases there was a higher drug use among male students, except in the case of Board to ease land ports comp lex• The Huron County Board of Education decided Monday to lease 9.6 acres of land it owns for development of a sports complex at the northwest corner of Eldon and Bennett streets in Goderich. TheS75,000 complex across the street from Goderich District Collegiate Institute will include a 400 metre track enclosing a soccer and football. field. There will also be a softball diamond and facilities for other track and field events. Goderich Principal John Strin- ger said the complex, which will be open to all citizens, will be developed in four stages. Money for the first stage costing $12,000 has already been raised by the students, he said. The first phase will include levelling and di dining the area. The track and different pits will be laycd out in the second phase and a track base will be put down. The cost is estimated at $10,000. the softball diamond will bel constructed and asphalt track surface. The $35,000 fourth stage will complete the track surface. . Development will be financed partially by VI intario and Com- munity Recreation Centre grants, Mr. Stringer said. Board solicitor, Dan Murphy said the board is not eligible for grants. Only municipalities and incorporated organizations may apply for funds. Mr. Stringer suggested the 10 board lease the property to the Goderich Sports Association which could qualify for the grant. It' was left with Mr. Murphy to decide who the lessee should be. Lynn Meyers, head of the Goderich school's physical educa- tion, said the facilities at the school- are over -used. At present one field is being used for football, soccer and baseball. Mr. Meyers said slightly less than half of the total costs would be covered by the grants. The board decided to lease the property for 21 years. At the end of that period the lease could be renewed if the `property isn't needed for other uses. tobacco. According to the sample 52,1 percent of female students smoke compared to 28.5 percent of the males. The study found drug use was "significantly and postively" related to age, with most frequent drug use occuring in the 16 and 17 year old age group. ' An inverse •relationship was found between drug use and grade average. As drug use increased grade average decreas- ed, In the case of cannabis, 12.1 percent of the students with the highest grade average reported use, but .40,2 percent of those with the lowest grades reported cannabis use. Alcohol consumption was also related to grade average with frequent drinkers having lower averages. Students in northern Ontario reported more use of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, LSD and other hallucinogens. The Midwestern region most often had the lowest rates of drug use. The study notes that surveys of alcohol and drug use typically "under -report" such use as compared to estimates derived from official records and other sources. The report concludes that changes in drug use since 1974 "have probably been small and increases confined to a few drugs, e.g. alcohol, cannabis and LSD." The Board decided to make the report available to teachers throughout Huron County. { GRAND OPENING SALE 00DEN'S GROCERY BLYTH Au .1142-13 .({\ \ (Open Friday 'til 9 pm) �� �� 1 5UGA, q :36(74 ' SCHNEIDER'S MEATS: LUNCHEON MEAT 6 OZ. 49c BREADED IN A BUCKET WHILE THEY LAST FRIED CHICKEN 2 LB. $3.29 KELLOGG'S CORN FLAKES NA SHREDDED WHEAT MCCORMICK'S COCONUT.

BY REV. TED. HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH (Mistakes are made, It was my error that two articles "From the Minister's Study" appeared in last week's edition, Pastor Marquette was scheduled to write these editorials during August, but she graciously consented that I could continue the series for the month,) Mistakes aside, we challenged ourselves last week to make the best possible vacation, by reflecting first upon the question, "Who is God?" Since vacations are meant as a time of refreshment for the labours ahead, reflection is a necessary part, of first priority. To this end I challenge you to reflect upon a second question: "Where is the world going?" Another way of stating the same: "What is the purpose .of, history?" This question is not as impractical as you,may think. Every day you live you answer the question, no mistake about it• Father and mother, son and daughter, grandfather, grandmother, farmer, shopkeeper, employer, employee, what do you answer? One possible answer: there is no sense, not meaning to history. Then follows inevitably:.there is no purpose td my life. The world began in a stroke of electricity, and I am alive by change. The only thing I can get from life are some good feelings. If I have no pleasurable sensations, I am dead. Or the reverse: the more good feelings I have the more I am alive, 1 work to have a good time on my days off; I use my time to increase pleasure, Where is the world going? I can't know; all I care for is to feel good, A second possibility: the world is going from bad to worse,' bound for. destruction, However! I'm looking out for myself. As long as I am financially sound, P11 have few if.any worries (except the rat -race of remaining financially sound), , Inflation is a minor irritant; unemployment happens only to others. I stand aloof from the world, I wash my hands from the problems, The .others are going to destruction, I am saving myself. God? He's too far away, and doesn't care, My time is to make myself secure in the things of the world, Another answer, God created the world for his Son, the Son who came to save the world, and who is waiting at this moment to come again. God created the world and all human beings to reveal his glory, a glorthe Son intends to restore. t Th Son died on the cross and has made me a member of hi§ Church that I jnay build hls Kingdom 'with all the others who confess him Lord and S•uviour. The.Lord ()fiords and King of kings works through•me to acconiplish'the renewal of this world. Inexorably he recreates, In that ongoing history; day by day,' I work: Every day, every hour, I seek to magnify his Name, not to earn heaven (for that is mine already), but to increase his Kingdom. And how am I doing this? By seeking to live according to the Ten Commandments,the royal,highway to the heavens, In this my life has a purpose. Not myself, not all glory to me; all glory to the Father of my Saviour, who has filled me with his Spirit. now I have satisfaction, l ipeace, purpose, You see, reflection is painful. Reelection about who God is and where the world is going is hard. No more drifting, no more hiding in a public conscience (everybody else is doing it;, Only Christ Jesus, only living in faith. On the road to heaven are no stopping places°, only resting places, the moments of reflection in the light of the Word, to ascertain our place and purpose in the history of the world, a history in which we either hamper or hasten to coming glory of the Lord. • Again, I implore you, whether you are camping, travelling, .visiting, or puttering about the house, to reflect about your part in the history of the world, as we work together to make the best vacation possible.

To start the evening, everyone was given a clothespin to sign their name on with a contest following to see who gathered the most pins --at the end of the evening Maureen was presented with a decorated clothespin bag with the pins in it. Joan Leibold conducted a hilarious word game. After this Barb Howson read the following address: "Maureen: We have gathered here this evening to wish you every happiness in your forthcom- ing marriage to Brad. For a young bride to be, marriage promises all her dreams fulfilled and hap- piness ever after. Rewarding as it may be you only get out of marriage what you put into it, "Life for all of us has its ups and downs and so with marriage there are the good and the bad times to experience. Reflecting upon these thoughts, share with Brad the attitude of giving as much as you will take from the marriage and all problems en- countered will be overcome, resulting in a lasting and prosperous life together. "We hope you will look back upon these words and cherish the memories of this evening in the years to come, On behalf of everyone here tonight please accept these gifts as a token of our best wishes for you both in the future. Best of luck. Your friends and Neighbours," Maureen made a fitting reply of thanks for the lovely gifts.. A delicious lunch of cake and ice-cream was served by the hostesses.

Cream Producers to have choice_ in shipment of product, When can milk shipment is phased out on October 31, there is still an alternative choice for those wishing to use cans and that is the shipment of cream. The production of farm separated cream for manufacture into butter is part of the daily chores on 2,900 farms in October. The phasing out of can milk shipment will not affect the shipment of farm separated cream. Cream will continue to be marketed in cans in the same manner as at present, Can milk farmers who wish to convert to farm separated cream production may do so but should retain their milk Market Sharing Quota and have it converted to cream Market Sharing Quota. Milk producers who sell their Market Sharing Record bean Quotas will not be eligible to obtain cream Market Sharing Quota. • People interested in starting cream production will need to obtain their Market Sharing Quota from current holders of cream quota who wish to discontinue or reduce the size of their operations. • Cream producers sell their product to 27 different creameries in Ontario, There are 12 creameries located in Western Ontario, 5 in Central Ontario, 2 in Eastern Ontario and 8 in Northern Ontario, In most cases pickup is made at the farm but some creameries require that the product be delivered to a central collection point or that it be delivered directly to their plant. Some of the creameries in Western crop expected in This year's navy bean crop is expected to be excellent with Ontario expected to produce in excess of 2 million cwt. -•a record crop. i So far, no weather or disease problems have been noted but'about 10 per cent of • the acreage has been reported as sprayed for white mold. Although 2 million cwt, would be a record crop closer estimates range between 160,000 acres versus 155,000 based on intentions. ' The Michigan crop potential is expected to range between 5.2 million cwt, and 5.7 million cwt. There have been no significant growing problems there either but they might occur if Michigan does not get the necessary rain. This kind or' crop from Michigan would mean yields over 1200 lbs./acre, and would be a 1/3 larger crop than, marketed from 1976. So total North American supply could approximate an average of 7.5 million cwt. with total North American demand of only'/: a million cwt. in Canada and 3.2 million cwt, in the U.S, (including seed), This would mean that Michigan would have 2 million or more cwt, to sell overseas in competition with Canada, Chile, Argentina and Ethiopia. Since quality navy beans demand in Europe and the U.K. only totalled- 2.5 to 2.7 million cwt, in ,1976 competition is expected to be fierce and will possibly create (ower selling values and larger carryover. The only positive denmand variables continue to be; buoyant U.K, demand and the possibility of North America navy beans supplanting Ethiopia bean supplies due to political and military difficulties in that country. Current Michigan producer prices are $13.50 per cwt. with selling values at $16.25 for immediate delivery (August, September) and $16.50 for October, November delivery. Ontario's price is $18 for October shipment export (and $19 domestic) Sales to date advance 1977 crop Board of Education In its regular meeting in Clinton on Monday, the Huron County Board of Education approved a number of items.

The board approved in princip- le a two-week bilingual exchange program between schools in Huron County and Quebec. James Coulter, superintendent of education, said he didn't know if. any schools in the county would participate. A qualified teacher will provide academic instruction one day per week to older trainable retarded pupils at the Goderich workshop, the Board decided. Senior train- able retarded pupils (age 13t) will be gi'en access to the nearest home economics or industrial arts program.

This 600,000 was sold at close to $21 early in April/May of .1977. No significant sales to export customers from Michigan of advance crop have been made as yet. Ontario's advance export sales are 122,800 cwt, and domestic sales are 84,700 cwt. giving a total of 207,500 cwt. This ' represents 10 per cent of the expected crop. This year's export sales represents 59 per cent of the total sales and since the normal sales profile is 80 per cent it is obvious the customers arc cautious about buying new crop and when Michigan producer prices moved from $15 per cwt. in mid July to $13.50. It created more buyer apprehension. Statistics on production volumes on the Neilsen shelf movement show an increas- ing drop in the demand for baked beans with pork.

Festival musicians hold concert Sunday night BY DEBBIE RANNEY Lively, light-hearted musical entertainment will take the place of live play entertainment when the Blyth Summer Festival presents a musical concert on Sunday, August 14. , Anne LeDerman, Gordon Woodbury, Jack Blum and Joe Miller, the musicians from the Blyth Summer Festival, will be performing the musical numbers along with special guest perform- ers. The entertainers play 15 musical instruments between them and will be playing modern dance tunes from musical numb- ers umbers by Fats. Waller and Duke Ellington and they will also be doing a fair amount of old time music, -- traditional music from various parts of the world. There•'s an amazing variety of material to be found at this concert with soriiething for young and old, There's jazz tunes from the '20's and '30's and blues of all colors with some interesting instrumentals. Special guest appearances will be made by Jan McNaughton, a traditional Canadian singer, and Connie Kaldor, one of the actresses from Passe Muraille. in Seaforth, will be singing a few of her own songs. Anne LeDerman who comes from the west discovered improv- ised mprovised and folk music when she was about 12. years old and also discovered that being , a fiddler combined the best of all musical --worlds for her. For the theatre productions Anne has been playing fiddle, piano, bass, mandolin and guitar. Gordon Woodbury is also a versatile musician as he can play the piano, flute and saxophone and he has just gone through an M.A. program of drama at the University of Toronto. Joe Miller is the. -musical director of the Blyth Summer Festival. He grew up in the U.S. and this year he created the music for Jim Shcaefer's lyrics in the Blyth Memorial History Show, Jack Blum is not only an actor but, musician and singer as well. This year he not only played James in the Blood is Strong but moved to the music pit after his character was no longer in the play and he also played the tough slum kid Gerry in A Summer Burning. All these people with their different backgrounds and musi- cal talents have combined to make, a unique musical experi- ence. The Festival people have been working on this concert right from the start of the Festival season, The songs that they ended up doing were the songs they played when they all got together. The songs are heartfelt songs and provide a good contrast to the shows, Anne LeDerman said. "The songs • are material that means something to us personally as opposed to being part of the shows," Anne said, At the concert there will be some opportunity for the people to jion in but it isdefinitely a concert rather than a sing -along type of show and the four Festival musicians will be working ' in different combinations with each other. . All, in all, it should be a light, bright musical that will provide the whole family with a lot of light-hearted fun. Blyth Summer Festival musicians, Gordon Woodbury, Jack Blum, and Anne LeDerman along with Joe Miller [not in picture] and some Children present play on Wednesday.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 10, 1977, BY BILL SMILEY Drove about 200 miles the other night with a couple of other idiots to watch a big league double- header baseball game: New York Yankees vs. Toronto Bluejays. "How can you just sit there for six hours, watching a group of grown men do something we used to do in public school, at recess?" my wife asks, with amusement and not a little scorn. Well, it's a little difficult to explain, without sounding child- ish. In the first place, these are not grown men. They are professional ballplayers. Second- ly, they don't do it quite the way we did it at ,recess. Thirdly, baseball, once you get it in 'your blood, is like a low -burning fever, and the only anti -biotic that cools it out is watching a ball game. Baseball players, like hockey players, are not grown men. They are overgrown boys, who are highly paid for doing something they'd rather do than eat. And they do it superbly, with a skill and grace and ease that make the game as thrilling as any Why. Bill iovesa ball game ballet, There's an extra charge in the knowledge that one of the dancers is going to make , a Misstep at any time and come up with egg on his face, instead of the baseball. Finally, 1 played baseball in a baseball town, from the time 1 was about eight until 1 was 16 or so, often for hours a day, - My heroes, in those days, were the members of our local professional team, even though it was Class D ball. They were tall and bronzed and lean, college boys and coal miners from the States, many of them with unpronounceable names that sounded exotic in that small Anglo -Irish -Scottish community. They weren't great ballplayers; few of them went up to the major leagues; but they were pretty good.- To us kids, they were Hercules and Achilles rolled into one. To the girls in town, they were Adonis. They chewed tobacco, and we imitated them with licorice. They spoke with a variety of Yankee drawls and we tried to copy them, much to the dismay of our mothers. They ambled and slouched, and we did the same. We couldn't afford the admit- tance price in those Depression Industrial ball league begins playoffs Auburn Lawries Blyth Inn Blyth Sports Shoppc Radfords Watsons WIN 8 7 6 3 33 The Blyth Inn will play Watson's on Thursday night at 8:30 p.m. in a two out of three series.

Seniors visit Goderich Some of Blyth Senior Citi- zens - namely Mrs. K. Webster, Mrs. E. Wright, Mrs. W. Cockerline, Mrs. J. Nesbitt, Mrs. F. Bell and Mrs. E. Logan spent a very enjoyable day at Goderich, Sunday, Aug. 7 They attended a special service in St. George's Anglican Church where the Hon. Pauline McKib- bon and the Goderich Jubilee 3 Committee were guests at' the morning service. In the afternoon the Lieut. Gov. unveiled plaques at the square and Harbor Park. Later they joined zone 8 senior citizens at a picnic in St. Christopher Park. days, but we never missed a game. There were ways: over the fence; through a hole in the fence; carrying in players' equipment; tending the water bucket; shagg- ing pop or beer bottles and turning them in for ,the refund. It was always summer, in those summers long ago. It never rained, or blew, or turned cold. The sun always shone, the pop was always ice cold, the popcorn was crisp with real butter, the hot dogs were red hot. There was no night baseball then. We didn't have lights. But about five o'clock on a summer evening, the merchants began rolling up their awnings, kids were gulping down their early suppers, and everybody, headed for the ball park. Everybody knew practically everybody on every team in the league. Everybody knew that the umpire, Pete O'Brien, was blind as a bat. Everybody knew that Izzie Mysel, all six -two and 280 pounds of him, would go for the fences every time, and probably strike out four times in a row. There was no fancy electronic scoreboard, but everybody knew exactly how many balls and strikes there were on the batter, how many strikeouts the pitcher had made, and how many hits each player had. It wasn't so difficult then. Usually, nine men played the entire game. Pinch-hitterswere a rarely, because, naturally, all your best hitters were already playing. When you had, and could only afford, a rotating pitching staff of,two, the pitcher was seldom pulled, There was no artificial turf, with its exact bounce. There were pebbles and tufts of grass that would give a ball a bad hop and put it over the fielder's head, or through his legs, and make a single into a triple. And - this is one of the grand things about baseball • there was' always a chance, even when it was 15-3, for a hometearh rally in - the last of the ninth, with all its wild excitement. That's where baseball has it over other spectator sports, If the score in hockey is 8.2 with two minutes to go, it's game over. Not even the Lord could score that many in that time, Same in football. Score 30-10 and a minute and a half left, there 'is no way. But in baseball, the game is never over until the last player is retired. A real baseball fan never gives' up. In those days, you didn't see the fans filing out early ;f their team was away behind. We sat tight, waiting for the miracle. "FREEZER SPECIAL" Canada Gr.

MARKET Blyth 523-4551 • Greatest humiliation of my life was taking a called strike with the count three and two and the winning runs on second and third, two out, last of the ninth. And I still swear that ball was low. And maybe those are the reasons I went to that double- header. Never mind the four hours driving. Never mind the horrible traffic, Never mind the rip-off prices and the claustrop- hobic feeling of being in a mob of 40,000 trying to get out of a stadium, - The game still has some of its old magic, on a midsummer's 'eve. The players still boot that crucial ball, The coaches still make all the wrong decisions; The umpires still have myopia. and the music of the crowd and the smells of the food and the sight of that little white pill sailing off into the blue, headed off into the blue, headed for the fence, make for a great evening of nostalgia. final Clearance Summer Dresses { Jr's, Misses and Yz Sizes Including Sun Dresses 2 FOR 1 SALE Sale starts Thurs.
