The final performances this week also have a heavy early, sales and those interested in attending are urged by Festival Officials to reserve early to make sure tickets will be available. Tuesday night saw another sell out for The Blood Is . Strong, repeating the ;late season surge the''show performed last season"which.had prompted'its`being held over to this•year. Until recently Festival Officials had been disappointed with the audience for the show. The Blyth Memorial History Show put on a strong box office display during its run which closed earlier this month. The surprise or the season as been The Shortest Distance Between Two Points, the show which was the final production of the season and had been a source of concern because of the fact it was crowded into' a two week period.

The Jiwas were moving away but it is uncertain as to where they were going. They thought that ,they might buy a larger store in a city like Kitchener or Hamilton and they were also considering going back to their homeland of Kenya. For the present time they were staying with Mrs. Jiwa's mother in Kitchener, Before coming to Blyth, Mr. Jiwa and his wife worked at factories in the Kitchener area, he at Gilson Manufacturing in Guelph and she at Electro Borcelin in Kitchener. They bought the Superior store last year on August 3 from Borden Cook. The store had been operated by Mr. Jiwa, his wife and his brother-in-law Noorali Ladhani. The Jiwas have two girls while the brother-in-law and his wife have three children. Mr. Ladhani's future plans are unknown.

The Bank of Montreal which has received the township's business for several years and the Royal Bank's Clinton branch both made presentations at the regular meeting of Hullett Township council on August 10. Ater the presenta- tions by the bank managers in question the motion was first made to switch to the Royal Bank for a trial period with Councillors Greg Brandon and Tom Cunningham making the motion. The motion, however, was defeated and another to carry on with the Bank of Montreal for another year with a review at the end of that time was passed in its place. In other business, council voted to approve an Ontario Home Renewal Program application and name Joe Hunking and Tom Cunningham as inspectors. Building permits were issued to: R. Kelland, steel granary and feed room; D. Haines, Auburn, garage; D. Westerhout, barn; Susan Knox, storage shed; Jan ae Weerd, drive shed and lean-to on barn. A by-law appointing a fire chief for the portion of the township served by Seaforth Fire Department was approved. The council voted to ask the officials from the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority to come to a meeting and explain the Authority's maps on flood plain planning. Mrs. Nona Pipe is to be invited to the September meeting to give more informa- tion on her plan to produce a history book of the township. The township solicitor is to be instructed to look into the land title for the street allowance owned by Jim McEwing. , General accounts of $5,522.69; road accounts of $4,180.01 and drainage accounts of $69,057.09 were approved for payment.

In other council business, Freeman and Glen Olson attended the meeting, and a discussion took place in regard to how the problem of the Dungannon Drain was to be resolved and Mrs. Barbara Londry asked Council's assistance in clearing up the serious erosion problem which exists on her property at the end of the Anderson Drainage Works. The clerk was directed to contact engineer Henry Uderstadt about the problem, and to notify Ashfield Township that the problem exists and that steps are being taken by this Township to correct the situation. By-laws for the control of dogs in the village of Auburn were discussed with the clerk instructed to contact the clerks of the other townships involved in Auburn to drawup by-laws for the passage by all the townships to control dogs in that village. Council granted consent for the use of the Township Hall by the St. Helen Snowmobile Club for the 1977.78 winter season and concurred with the resolution from the Township of Spanish River that in the handling of councillor's honoraria under the Income Tax Act, the first $1000 of such honorarium be not considered income for taxation purposes. In other business, road accounts were ordered paid. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 17, 1977, Wet hay can be dangerous expert warns LEN MACGREGOR, SECRETARY, HURON COUNTY FARM SAFETY COUNCIL. Every year a number of barns and farm buildings are needlessly lost as a direct result of the over heating of damp hay in the barn. This loss can easily be controlled by checking hay and following these simple rules: Take 1/2" x 10' electrical conduit or tubing with a sharpen- ed hardwood point riveted to tube, Drill six (6) holes of %" diameter in bottom of tube. Then insert probe 8' or 9' into hay. Next, lower a candy or oven thermometer on a twelve foot cord to bottom of tube. Leave in place for five (5) minutes, and then remove and check and follow this scale. (repeat ,in different places so you won't miss hot spots) 150 degrees F • Hay is entering the danger zone. Check daily. 160 degrees F - Danger! Check every four (4) hours to see if temperature is rising. 175 degrees F - Fire pockets may now be expected. Call fire department pumper and wet down hay • NOTE: When hay reaches 175 degrees F, it has lost its basic nutrient food value, so don't hesitate to remove hay. 185 degrees F Remove hay without delay. Fire Department should be available since flames will develop, when air comes in a- contact with hay. 210 degrees F • Critical! Hay'is almost sure to ignite, Use extreme caution. Remember, never enter alone when hot hay is expected, fire pockets may have developed and there is a danger of falling into them. Long 'planks may be placed on top of hay to stand on while removing or checking hay • safety line or rope around one's waist is THE SCARLET. LILYN an added safety measure.

Ohio, Ontario much alike to 4-H exchange girl BY DEBBIE RANNEY It's always interesting to see how the other half lives and Becky Garner of Hamilton in Butler County, Ohio has got her chance while on a 4•H exchange program, She stayed with Jean Siertsema and her family of 11.11,3 Blyth. While here, Becky and six other members of her 4-H group went on a tour of Huron County with the Huron County 4•H members. They got to 'see the Goderich salt mines and the museum, Quality Produce in Exeter, Centralia College, the Goderich court house, and Dom- inion Roads in Goderich. While in Goderich, Huron County agricul- tural representative, Don Pullen, the warden of Huron County Doug McNeil, and Huron County clerk -treasurer Bill Hanley spoke to the 4•H members, Becky hadn't noticed too much difference between where she lives and Huron County, One interesting comment she- made was that it was a lot flatter up here. ;'We've got a lot of hills and your crops are a couple of weeks behind ours," she said. Becky who is 18 comes from a family of three children and lives on a 250 -acre farm where they milk 50 holsteins. They also raise corn and soy beans but only for their own use, Becky helps with the chores, 'the haying, helps pick the corn and just does general farm chores. Becky hadn't noticed too much difference in the 4•H club activities here as compared to theirs except that Canadian 4•H members start at the age of 11 Abdul Awe, his wife Habiba and his brother-in-law, Noorali Ladhani stand behind the counter of the store they have operated for the past year. The Jiwas and Mr. Ladhani are moving and the store will be taken over by Brock Vodden and his wife Janice. - Photo by Debbie Ranney.

The other big difference she noticed was that while the Huron County members have only one big day called, "Achievement Day" to show off their work, Butler County has a full week at the fair grounds starting on the Saturday and running right through to the next Friday. They also have a 4-H camp where they have a lot of learning and leadership. "It's just a week when the kids get together and have a good time," Becky said, 4-H clubs around here also have a bigger membership. Whereas in Butler County, 12 or 15 is a good number Huron County clubs average about 25 members. Jean talked about her activities while in the States, She went to a 4-H meeting on the Monday night and learned about their county and on Tuesday the Canadian 4-H members were given a "welcome reception where Jean showed slides of Huron County and Butler County showed slides of theirs. On Wednesday they went to King's Island, a big amusement park and on Thursday they went for a picnic and pool party until they had to quit because of a tornado. On Friday they went to the river on the showboat "Majestic" where they have plays and entertainment and they also went to Coba which is like the United Breeders in Canada and saw some of the top bulls in the world. Jean noticed that in Butler County they had a lot more hills, trees and curves. She said basically there's not much difference in the way she and Becky live. Both have Holsteins although the Siertse- mas only milk 35 at the most and they use the pipeline system while Becky's family uses a milking parlour. The Siertsemas have 20p acres of land. Jean was in the States from June 26 to July 2. And Becky who came on August 6 stayed until the 13th. Twenty-seven Huron Coun- ty 4-H members went down to the States but only six Butler County members managed to make it back since the others had farm commitments.

Gordon Fairweather from his seat to accept the post as human rights commissioner has been regarded by some experts as just another nail in the coffin of Conservative Leader Joe Clark, To believe the soothsayers, Joe might as well quit right now. After all his party is disintegrating around him, Pierre Trudeau is so far out ahead in the polls as to make it look like no contest at all, and every time he opens his mouth Joe seems to eet himself further in trouble. But let's not get ridiculous in all this predicting. Let's remember who the predictors are and their track record. Let's remember that it was only a year ago that Joe Clark was being touted as the unofficial Prime Minister of Canada. It was only a matter of time, the predictors told us before he took his rightful position as top man in the country, a position that the polls said he should be occupying since he was far out ahead of Pierre Trudeau. Mr. Clark seemed to believe the predictions as he went off to Europe as if he were already a head of state. How quickly things changed. And then there's the case of Dr. Stuart Smith who was supposed to be completely defeated in the provincial election yet came up smelling the roses while all about him were in defeat, The only thing that counts is the ballots cast by the public at an official election. The polls and the predictions in between aren't worth the paper they're printed on. One suspects that by the time the election rolls around Joe may well have rebounded, that in fact by then it may be Trudeau that the predictors are saying will be through. This fight is far from over. More victims of 'progress' The plight of Amish farmers who are moving to the U.S. because of the incompatibility of their religious beliefs to new milk marketing regulations has received tremendous coverage in the big city press lately. One suspects the coverage has resulted as much from the city bias against farm marketing boards as it does from concern for the plight of the Amish, since the Ontario Milk Marketing Board has been taking most of the flack over the decision. Normally the O.M.M.B. and other farm marketing boards are being accused of hosing the consumer but here, when the issue is trying to provide a better product for the consumer by cutting down bacteria in the milk through human handling, they are accused ot being callous to the needs ot a minority of producers. As with every story there are two sides to this one. There can be a great deal of sympathy for the Amish who are being driven out of the dairy business because they can't live with the new regulation but on the other hand, if bulk handling is really necessary then surely one group can't be given an exemption when something as important as health is involved. Still, one can't help feeling that the real problem didn't just arise now but had its roots years ago when the government first, consciously or unconsciously. embarked on a cheap food policy. That policy has revolutionized the food industry driving hundreds of thousands of farmers out of business. On the other end of the scale it has driven many small, locally owned processing industries out of business too with the result that a handful of huge industries today handle nearly all the dairy processing. The old days saw the farmer deliver his own milk right to the plant that was located in his own community. Freshness wasn't that big a problem because milk wasn't left sitting for long periods. Surplusses in such things as milk powder weren't a problem because many farmers separated the cream from the milk on the farm and used the skim milk for feed. But not content with a system that had worked for a half -century people began tinkering with it in the interest of holding consumer prices down. The result has been much the same as the "improvers" who upset the balance of nature over the years only to create new problems. To solve one problem you come up with a solution that creates another problem and solving it creates still more confusion. It would be nice to think that if the Amish dairy producers must be sacrificed to modern needs at least this would be a final solution, but it's hardly likely. Five years from now, if not sooner, there will likely be another crisis in the dairy industry and a whole new group of producers will be hurt. That is "progress". Letter to the editor THE EDITOR: I would like to thank the people of Blyth for putting on such a lovely Centennial. 1 really enjoyed it, meeting old friends and the fun and nonsense. The parade on Saturday was really good, but better when one takes part in it. The shirt tail parade was also a highlight. 1 have only one complaint, the Old Timers Ball Game and the Go Cart Races, and the Bed Races should not have been overlapped. A lot of people wanted to see it all but that was impossible, the way it was set up. Do you have to wait for 100 years to celebrate again? Thanks again for a fun filled four days. Mrs. Mary Chapple Seaforth, Ontario. Practicing by the window BY BILL SMILEY My wife loathes and despises the idea of my retiring some day. She is firmly convinced that after a busy and useless life, I would be completely at loose ends should I retire, and would just wither away, And every summer I do my, level best to convince her that her fears are unfounded, that 1 "e never been bored in my life, that 1 am a master at the art of the trivial, and that retirement would be a breeze, with not enough hours in the day to accomplish all the things _I want to do, and avoid all the things I don't want to do. Here's a typical summer day, and I leave you to judge. I'm up every morning at the crack of nine. This may seem a bit late, but I stay up until 3 a.m. watching the late movie, to make up for it. I can't do either of these things in the other ten months of the year, so I figure I'm entitled. Carefully wash and shave -- never go downstairs with the grizzle of beard, one of the first things of deterioration. While I'm lathering up, I skim a chapter of the novel on top of the toilet tank. Not a second wasted, you'll note. Then it's downstairs; pop on the teakettle, fetch the morning paper from between the doors, open the refridgerator door and think about breakfast, which 1 prepare myself. This morning, I was torn between bacon and eggs - fuddle the cholesterol • and fresh strawberries. Settled for the berries and ate about a quart of them in cream and sugar, with lashings of tea, and hot toasty dripping with butter and peanut butter. Judiciously read the morning paper while I'm sludging down I'm for quitting the grub. Again, yoy see, not a moment or motion wasted. Am told, in very certain terms, that the strawberries were for making jam. Shrug it off, asking rather pointedly who picked the ruddy things, and suggesting that if I make my own breakfast, the chips, and the berries, must fall where they may. By 11 a.m. 1 am reconvinced that politicians are windbags, that Canada is going to hell in a wheelchair, that 1 don't really care on this fine morning, and that it's time for some action. So it's outside, into the backyard, pulsing with life, vitality and strawberries.. Me, not the backyard. It is pulsing with life • starling's, long grass, shaggy hedge but no berries. Mutterings and recriminations about those strawberries I stole, from the nether regions of the kitchen, where the jars are being boiled for jam. For which we are short one quart of berries. So, it's a quck look at the hedge, a quick, firm decision that it would be crazy to clip it in the heat of the day, and off to the farm near town to pick another quart of those lousy strawberries, In the heat of the day. But it's great, picking berries, Down on your knees is the only way to pick. It's earth.,. There's nothing maliginant or irritating about strawberries. They're just there, fat, luscious, waiting to be raped. In the next row, there's an old German lady, at least a grand- mother, knees in the soil, hands busy, mouth smeared with juice. You decide she's a lot more sympatico than your wife, who's a great picker, but not of berries. You also discover that you forgot to put on long pants, that shorts are not the ideal wear in the berry patch, and that your knees 'are turning into two Targe boils. Then it's home with the berries, and there's a morning gone. A crafty beer and lunch, then a serious discussion with the chatelaine about when you are I going to clean up the basement. You compromise by assuring that it will be the very first day it's too cold and wet to play golf, secretly hoping it will be a long, hot summer. And then it's off for a game of golf, or a swim, or both, or a fish with an old buddy, or a ride in somebody's new boat. And suddenly, it's time for a cool drink under the oaks, perusing the evening paper and waiting tor the cooK to call out that dinner is ready. And before you know it, it's TV time, or off to the movies, and late, late to bed, warm in the knowledge that it's been a pretty full day, and that you have contributed absolutely nothing to the fate of mankind or your own domestic promblems, Oh. there are lots of variations. Don't think it's as dull as it sounds. Sometimes you go to the bank and josh the girls, all of whom seem to be former students, now married and either pregnant or mothers. Sometimes you write a letter or spend as much as an hour thinking about the book you didn't manage to get written last summer, but will this year for sure, Sometimes people drop in, ostensibly to visit old friends,. but in reality to tell you all the horrible things that are happen- ing to them, no more interested in you than they are in the strawberry festival at Hayfork Centre. Yes, it's rather a good life. Not exciting, perhaps, but I think my wife's concern about my retire- ment is a little premature. I think I could hack this life for perhaps, another three or four hundred years. • Brendan McKane as Scottie the Reeve sweeps up the floor to make It presentable for a visit from Premier Smilie as farmer Charlie [Layne Coleman] looks on in a presentation of Keith Roulston's play The Shortest Distance Between Two Points, now at the Blyth Memorial Hall. First introduction to Summer Festival very impressive Debbio Ranney, a graduate of Conestoga College and a native of Milverton came to Blyth thissummer with no previous connection with the Blyth Summer Festival. She had long had an interest in theatre and this summer has had a chance to put that interest to use, reviewing all the plays presented at the Festival. With the 1977 season nearly at an end, she set down some of her impressions on paper. THEATRE IMPRESSIONS BY DEBBIE RANNEY A dream that came true, That was the Blyth Summer Festival •• a theatre which started three years ago and from the dedicated response of its audiences it shows no signs of stopping. As an outsider to the Blyth Summer Festival, I was both pleased and surprised to find in such a small place as Blyth, theatre productions that had both quality and professionalism. Such professionalism as these players brought to their productions encouraged the audience to participate, enjoy the plays and become a part of them. The actors related as real people, not just cardboard characters on a stage. Such realism on the part of the actors brought out in the audience the kind of emotions that we forget we have all too often. There were both tears and laughter to be found in the productions of "A Summer Burning" and "The Blood is Strong" and there were just tears of laughter when watching such plays as the "Blyth Memorial History Show" and "The Shortest Distance Between Two Points," The actors offstage related to people just as well. They weren't elitist snobs. They were just actors doing their job to the best of their ability. Of course the Blyth Summer Festival is not the Shakespearean theatre. It doesn't have to be, People need the kind of laughter that the Blyth Summer Festival presented. The .homey rural plays that the Blyth Summer Festival put on fitted in perfectly with the Blyth atmosphere which has a homespun friendliness all of its own. Another nice thing to see about the Blyth Summer Festival was the lack of rivalry on the part of the actors. If there was any, it never showed onstage. They related to each other and to the characters they were playing and did it very well. Offstage the actors seemed to get along just as well and proved they were just as big hams offstage as on. The Canadian plays that the group chose to put on were very appropriate for a small village like Blyth. Plays like Harry J. Boyle's, "A Summer Burning" showed the big city slum kid trying to cope with the gentler side of life on a rural farm. This play was especially appropriate since Harry J. Boyle came from this area, The Blood is Strong was not a rural play but it was Canadian and brought both tears and laughter to the audience who watched the struggles and triumphs of A Scottish family who had just come to Canada. The Blyth Memorial History Show was a chance for Blyth residents to relive their past history in a hysterically funny way and The Shortest Distance Between Two Points showed a familiar empathy with the plague of small towns that get, trod on in the interest of government bureaucracy. With television permeating every aspect of our daily lives, it's nice to see that there's a place to go and see the characters come alive before your eyes. The Blyth Summer Festival was just a dream, but it's stayin4 a 1 reality.

Theatre review ,Turkey's BY DEBBIE RANNEY If you take your children to see "Turkey" you'll probably end up enjoying it almost as much as the children do, Skilfully written and directed by local playwright Jim Schaefer the play concerns a turkey who refuses to become somebody's dinner, The play requires the children to use their imaginations but the actors are so good, the child won't have to work very hard at it. The exceptional performance here belongs to Kate Trotter who plays many parts including a rooster, a tree, a choir member and a Mexican bandit. Kate's talents are put to good use as she has to use a number of voice characterizations and the children will love her, Michael Langford as the farmer puts everything he has into the role as the man who will stop at nothing to get the turkey and shows his mimicking skill, especially when his imaginary axe O.P.P. conduct 28 cases During the week August 8 - 14, officers at Wingham Detachment of the O.P.P, conducted, 28 investigations. Thirty-seven charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act and 44 warnings were issued, Three charges were laid under the Liquor Licence Act. Three charges were laid under the Criminal Code. During the week, 'there were three motor vehicle collisions which caused an estimated $1030.00 in property damage and injuries to two persons. On Wednesday, August 10, Rick A. Currah of Gorrie received minor injuries as a result of a single car accident on Highway 87, east of the junction of Highway 86. Mr. Currah was westbound on Highway 87 when his vehicle went off the north side of the road and struck a post. On Thursday, August 11, Theodore J. Klaassen of Ford- wich was involved in a single car accident on concession 6-7, east of county road 1130, Howick Township. Michael B. Sanderson of Fordwich, a passenger in the Klaassen vehicle, received minor injuries.

SUPERIOR MEMORIALS ESTABLISHED OVER SO YEARS Blyth -Clinton Area Representative MICHAEL FALCONER 153 High Street Clinton 482.9441 .1 THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 17, 1977. PG. 5, no turkey of a show gets stuck in the wall and he mimics the vibrations. Jack Blum as the turkey about to get its head chopped off evokes the sympathy of the audience as he desperately tries to avoid the axe of the farmer, There are even some lines in this play to tickle the adults' fancy and which older children will enjoy but younger children won't understand. Lines which have become classics are skilfully used such as when the farmer yells into the henhouse, "Who's there and the answer comes back, "Just us chickens." Another amusing line is when the farmer talks to the tree and says, "Nutty tree, There must be something wrong with your roots." The play isia game in fantasy as the actors get their costumes out of a trunk which sits on the stage throughout the play in full view of the audience. This takes away nothing •of the enjoyment of the play but only adds to it, Director Schaefer has concoct- ed a play that teases the imagination of the children and encourages them to enjoy them- selves, It's a play that is sure to please children from ages one to 100. The actors are so skilful in fact, that even the director laughed, LJECTIOHOLb Discontinuing TV Sales Dispersing all colour TV's at Dealer Cost Full Warranty.

A group of interested people concerned about these lonely folk have been holding meetings to find how they could be helped. A grant from the Ministry of Community and Social Services for $40,289.60 has been received to start this Outreach program which is being called Project Homebound and will run from August 1, 1977, to August, 1978. The grant is 80 per cent of the sum applied for of $50,362 and will be repeated a second year. Ann St, Jean of Auburn has been hired as co-ordinator and activity director of this Huron Outreach program, Geriatric Day Care, and a committee has been formed. Mrs. St, Jean, wife of Earl St. Jean, United Church minister at Beef cattle day planned "New Views on Old Themes" is the theme at the Southwestern Ontario Beef Cattle Day at the Ridgetown College of Agricultur- al Technology on Thursday, August 25, 1977. Registrationlee of $4.00 includes lunch. The program times are 10:30 a.m. to 4:10 p.m. Morning speakers include Doug McDonnell, Manager of Ontario Stockyards, evaluating the trials on the auction selling of cattle on the basis of dressed grade and weight, and Bob Kerr, a Chatham beef producer, dis- cussing the economics of alfalfa as a protein supplement for feedlot cattle, After lunch Dr. Dan Fox of Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, will talk about maximizing returns on corn silage rations. The subiect of silage additives will be covered by a panel of production, industry and univer- sity personnel. Special emphasis will be placed on the application of additives to the silage for best results. Dave Murray of Ridgetown College will bring cattlemen up to date on their rumensin trials. After a short break Larry Campbell, Meat Packers Council will report on warble damage and its effect on the entire beef industry. Contract feeding will be discussed by John Forsyth of the Livestock Branch, Ontario Minist- ry of Agriculture and Food. Auburn, is a warm, cheerful woman sensitive to the needs of, I the elderly. She has a son, David, at home, a Grade 13 stud nt at Goderich and •a daughter, Eliza- beth, in Toronto, working at the Recreational Centre for Children in the Regent Park area. Mrs. St. Jean gives great credit to her husband for his understanding and help at home which enables her to work with older people. Mrs, St. Jean has had previous experience working with senior citizens in various centres in Ontario where her husband has been a minister such as Osgoode, Victoria Harbour, Manitowaning, and Lakefield, where she was instrumental in starting programs for the homebound, She • is working at present at the Maitland Manor Nursing Home in Goderich, and will start her new work toward the end of August. She hopes to have a staff of two part time workers, one a driver. She wants to aid those people who are shut in and who can be encouraged to come out for activities of a social, physical and recreational nature. She will work out from Huronview at Clinton where facilities will be provided for the program. At one of the meetings programs suggested were crafts such as rug hooking which is popular with the older people and other similar crafts to be carried on for a brief period, perhaps one to one and a half hours, then socialization programs such as billiards, shuffleboard and card games for a brief period and even a swimming program or lawn (bowling in the summer. Dancing was named as a popular period for them, It was suggested that the hairdressing and barber shop facilities at Huronview might be used by those wanting to, One suggestion brought the greatest enthusiastic response from all present • Oh, Yesl foot care.

These biting insects have been a nuisance as long as man has existed, and as a result we have learned to endure them. Only the female mosquito bites. She dribbles saliva down the stylet which beneath your skin mixes with the blood and prevents the blood from clotting half way up the mosquito's snout. It is the residue of saliva which caused the well-known itching welt. The blood (15 to 20 bites equal only one drop from an eye dropper) is necessary for repro- duction to occur. Through the ages however, the mosquito has been more than a nuisance. They are carriers of human and animal diseases. These insects which transmit infection are known as vectors of disease. Encephalitis is a serious mosquito -borne illness which affects both horses and humans. The St. Louis Encephalitis was Safety check your equipment A complete maintenance check of harvesting equipment now can help prevent farm injuries at harvest time, says Larry Swinn, of the Farm Safety Association of Ontario, Mr. Swinn, senior safety consultant, says many injuries occur when operators tinker with harvesting equipment while it is still running. Injuries resulting from harvest- ing equipment accounted for the majority . of the 388 lost -time injuries attributable to farm machinery last year. "Of the 2000 lost -time injuries last year the most severe accidents resulted from harvest- ing equipment," A complete maintenance check can not only reduce injuries but will also prevent equipment breakdowns during the critical harvest period. Mr, Swinn suggests all belts and chains be checked to ensure proper tension followed by a field test now to spot problems in time to order replacement parts, if necessary. "During the field test be alert to unusual noises, increased vibration or power requirements changes in operating speed and in instrument readings." When something goes wrong, Mr. Swinn says it is important to .. put the machine out of gear, set the brakes, lower all hydraulic equipment and shut off the power take -off before making any adjustments to the machine, For more information on harvesting equipment safety, contact Mr. Swinn at the Farm Safety Association of Ontario, 2 Quebec Street, Guelph, Ontario.

In the summer of 1975 the first known outbreak of St. Louis Encephalitis occured in Ontario. The disease was wide- spread and 67 people became ill, Encephalitis is a disease of the nervous system, the brain be- comes swollen and inflamed. One becomes ill with a headache, fever and drowsiness which may progress into a stupor, coma and death. Some people recover after several weeks some have perma- nent nervous system damage and some people die. Encephalitis is an infection of birds, from common house sparrows, pigeons to domestic birds such as chickens. Once a mosquito has fed on an infected bird it remains capable of transmitting the disease for the rest of its life, Birds or sick people can't transmit the disease directly to another person. There is •no antibiotic or vaccine to immunzie people against the St. Louis Encephalitis. The control of the disease depends on the control of mosquitoes. Mosquito control can be comp- licated. In southern Ontario the population is denser and the terrain less wooded, with breed- ing sites relatively far apart, whereas in northern Ontario settlements are scattered, and vast areas of woodlands and frequent swamps act as breeding sites. It may be rational to organize a community control program in southern pntario, but uneconomical in northern Ontario' with such widespread breeding ground. There are two large-scale community mosquito control me- thods - reduction of breeding grounds and the use of insecti- cides, Draining or filling in low areas, emptying and removing containers, maintenance of cul- verts and ditches are examples of permenant controls whereas in- secticides arc only temporarily effective. One must take many factors into consideration where drainage is involved. Swamps are natural resivoirs and maintain adequate water levels in tributar- ies over dry summer periods. Many drainage systems make water available for agriculture. A good control program will there- fore stress reduction of breeding areas where practical and supple- ment this with the use of pesticides. in locations where there are no practical means of controlling mosquitoes people must learn to use methods of personal protect- ion. There are several good repellents available which when applied to the skin confuses the mosquito's sensors and' so will prevent her from biting. Light-co- loured clothing may deter some species. Good screens should be installed on homes and cottages. Dense vegetation attracts mos- quitobs, thus mowing weeds and grass and trimming hedges reduce' mosquito problems, The smallest accumulation of stagnant water can act as a breeding ground -in an old tire, bird baths, evestroughs and flower pots. Eliminate these hosts where possible, For more information on the control of Mosquitoes in Ontario contact Maitland Valley Conserv- ation Authority, Box 5, Wroxeter. Vittaqc.

PG. 9, Walton man dies at Seaforth hospital Long time Walton area drain- age contractor Frank Kirkby died in Seaforth Community Hospital on July 31, in his 66th year. Born in Morris Twp„ the son of • the late Herb and Nancy Kirkby, He farmed for a number of years in McKillop Twp, About 30 years ago he moved to Walton and established a drainage contract- ing business. Active in the area he served for a number of years on the Seaforth District High School children throughout southwestern Ontario will be simultaneously entertained and educated by Theatre Go Round, a company of professional actors and actresses formed specifically to present plays which incorpor- ate aspects of the curriculum, Theatre Go Round will operate out of Victoria Playhouse Petrolia with the support of a Canada Works Project Grant. Patricia Mahoney has been appointed director and chief administrator of the company. Miss Mahoney has forged an enviable career since she comple- ted her studies at York Univer- sity's Theatre Department. She has appeared in hundreds of performances with such compan- ies as Toronto Truck Theatre, Quebec City's Frontenac Play- house and Theatre Passe Murail-• le. Her most recent position was. with Carousel Players in St. Catharines, While there, Miss Mahoney performed in a multi- tude of roles and still found time to write, Her dramatic adaptation of the works of some of Canada's leading women writers was heralded as "a refreshing change of pace" by the St. Catharines Standard. This "splendid dramat- ization", entitled Mirror! Mirror! will be presented on the V.P.P. stage this fall. When developing a- play for grades 7 and 8, Miss Mahoney, utilized the knowledge she gained as a researcher for the Depart- ment of Indian Affairs and Northern Development in her home town of Ottawa. This participation play deals with the survival of a young Inuit girl in a • town fractured by . the pipeline I debate.

The eggs are laid in shallow water and hatch into a larva resembling the adult, but with frilly external gills. After several months the larva matures, loses its gills and leaves the water. Its. time on land is spent in cool -moist places where it feeds on insects, small fish, worms and other small creatures. The adults overwinter in protected places, returning to the water in spring to breed. Salamanders range in size from 3 inches to over one foot in length.

This is my first letter to you but with all the flak about adoptees in search of their natural parents, I felt I had to write, My parents were divorced when I was a baby. 1 have no recollection of my natural father, I've only seen one picture of him, 1 know his name but I've never contacted him and he has never contacted me. So what? I don't need to get back to my "roots". I know where they are. They're at the end of the telephone. I can always reach the man who married my mother when 1 was three years old -- the man who took it in the shins when I resented his intrusion into my young life; the man who smoothed over that problem and went on to bigger and better things, Like teaching me to ride my bike. Packing my suitcase when 1 tried to run away from home at age eight (he made sure it was too heavy for me to lift -- so of course 1 couldn't leave). He put me through college. Pampered me and spanked me. But he always loved me. This man adopted me legally. When my brother was born he never showed an ounce of favoritism and it's been that way for 22 years. When I was married, he walked me down the aisle, but he never "gave me away'. When I have problems, he's still there. I don't want to give the impression that my life is perfect. It isn't. We've had our problems and our arguments. Some of them were biggies, Some still exist. But, I know who my father is, and he's NOT the man whose name is on my birth certificate. I don't care anything about that man. Why should I? In my "expert" opinion, here's how to get back to your "roots": Look around. Figure out who cares for you. Who spent time with you. In the end, what else mattters? We all know who our parents are. •- From a Daughter, with Love. DEAR DAUGHTER: What a beautiful letter! It should give a solid sense of direction to those who are groping for a way to go. Bless you for writing. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm a female in my 20s and happen tc be five feet nothing in my stocking feet. 1 get so tired of people saying, "Gee you're short," or some thing equally cloddish. If they would say "petite" I wouldn't mind so much, but that word "short" makes me feel inad equate. I have seen you in person and know you aren't very tall, but you are a doll. Please come up with a standard comeback for people who don't . know any better. --Smiling On The Outside, Burn - Ing On The Inside. DEAR SMILING AND BURNING (an unhealthy combination): The next time someone says, "Gee, you're short," reply, "We'er all short on something. You happen to be short on tact." That should clear a few sinuses. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I know you steer clear of religious issues, but please say something about heaven and• hell. Thanks a lot. --Need To Know.

Last year's successful hit, "King of Kensington", returns for another season, this year moving to prime time on a Sunday evening which is no mean feat. Now from its creator, Perry Rosemond, comes another new series entitled "Custard Pie", It is about young performers trying to break into show business and is slated for Tuesday evenings on the full network but could vary on individual stations. The young French Canadian star, Rene Simard, hosts his own special, originating from CBC Vancouver and running Tuesday evenings at 8:30 for 26 weeks, He will entertain in his own talented way, of course, and will hosts visits from Canadian guests. Thursday evenings at nine, a new variety show called "Canad- ian Express" will be telecast. This will be for the young, with bright new Canadian talent featured. Some of Canada's biggest stars, like Terry Jacks and Ryan's Fancy, will be hosts. There will also be many iroi.

Corn day scheduled at Elora Research Station Farmers, researchers, and agri-businessmen can exchange crop production ideas and infor- mation at the Corn and Soybean Update '77 field meeting, Sep- tember 1, at the Elora Research Station, near Guelph. 'This is the second time the Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food have sponsored this particular pro- gram, says Dr. W.S. Young, coordinator of agricultural exten- sion at OAC, University of Guelph. Soybean. information has been added to last year's corn -only program. "We're including soybeans because interest and information about them is • growing. A field meeting is the best place to see practical applications of crop production ideas." Three different hour-long wag- on tours of corn and soybean field sites are scheduled hourly from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., says Dr. Young. There will be planned exhibits of tillage and planting equipment. Data comparing production me- thods and machinery will also be available. One tour focuses on effects of water, temperature, fertilizer, tillage and compaction on corn production per acre. The second corn tour spotlights the influence include results of granular inocul- of seedbed preparation, planter ation techniques on nitrogen performance, weed control, hy- brid maturation and plant num- bers on yields. Highlights of the soybean tour production, a floating, flexible combine cutterbar display, and weed control experiences. Spinach can be excellent in salad too Spinach is an excellent source of iron and Vitamins A and C, but did you know that spinach is at its nutritional best when served raw? In a salad its curly, crisp texture and tangy flavor comple- ment other ingredients. Spinach can be purchased loose by the pound, or washed and trimmed in a 10 -ounce plastic bag. When comparing prices keep in mind that it takes a pound of spinach to produce the 10 -ounce plastic bag. When preparing fresh spinach, wash it two or three times in cold water, lifting the spinach from the water so that any sand falls to the bottom. Trimmed, packaged spin- ach needs only to be rinsed under cold water. Shake the leaves well, snap off tough stems and pat dry in toweling. In the following ' recipe the crinkled spinach leaves trap the creamy dressing for a refreshing summer salad. SPINACH AND ONION SALAD 1 lb. fresh spinach, trimmed 1 cup thinly sliced onion 1 cup diced celery 1 teaspoon salt . '/2 teaspoon pepper '/, cup commercial blue cheese dressing '/: cup dairy sour cream 4 hard -cooked eggs, cut in wedges. Tear washed spinach in bite - size pieces. Add onion, celery and seasoning. Combine dressing and sour cream. Pour over' salad and toss lightly. Garnish with eggs. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings. SUMMER SALE CONTINUES SHORTS T SHIRTS 0BATHERS 20% OFF Sale ends Sat.
