Society sponsors successful Flower and Craft Show The Blyth Horticultural Society held a very successful Craft and Flower Show Saturday, August 20th in the new Blyth and District Community Centre with a very good attendance. Crafters from Lions Head, Wiarton, Toronto, Kitchener, London and surround- ing area added greatly to the show with their several craft displays. Owing to weather conditions there weren't as many entries in the flower show as previous years but still a very good. showing with Mrs. Shirley Shobbrook winning the C.1.B.C. donation of a rose bowl for highest points. Mr. Braun Edenbury of Goderich with second and Ella Richmond with third. There were 14 exhibitors with 107 entries. The Arena was tastefully decorated with Cows cause stir finding temporary home at Memorial Hall BY DEBBIE RANNEY They couldn't come up the stairs. They couldn't even make a grand stage entrance from the fire escape, They were forced (of all the things to do to a star) to enter the stage via a forklift. That was the best treatment they could manage for the two cows which will be, in Theatre Passe Muraille's production of, "He Won't Come in from the Barn," At the back of the Blyth Memorial Hall, the cows were put in a crate, and then the crate was lifted on a forklift up about 10 feet to a . door and there the cows made their entrance. ✓ Along with the two cows will be three . pigs and a rooster. The cows were obviously two stars with a case of stage fright as they struggled and kept backing away from the stalls that had been specially made for them on stage. The problem of how to get the cows on the stage was obviously a big event as many members of the press crowded around trying to get a shot of the action. According to Paul Thompson, the director of the show, "He Won't Come in from the Barn" is a comedy about a man who gets overrun by everything and decides to take his stand in the barn. The play features Ted Johns in the titel role. The cows were brought to the theatre on Tuesday from the. Brussels Livestock Yards and were on loan from the person who had bought them there. George Pearson, father of set designer Bob Pearson provided the transportation and the crate for the cows. Money for the feeding of the cows is coming out of the theatre budget and for the present time, the feed is being provided by George Pearson. There's no need to worry about any little accidents the cows might have during the course of th eperformance as such accidents are necessary to the performance. And the cows are going to have to ge used to those stalls. The stalls are going to be home for them from August 25 to September 3 and the animals are going to be onstage the whole time. flowers evergreen with centennial motif by the committee. A bountiful lunch and tea was served by the lunch convenor and her helpers. Shirley Shobbrook also won a $5.00 gift certificate from White Rose Craft and Nursery for most entries and Mrs. Ann Mclnnes a $5.00 certificate from McConn- ell's Nursery for second most entries. It was decided after this that the position of the combined positions of Arena Manager and Ice maker go to Mr. and Mrs. Gary Richardson for the sum of $260. per week duties to commence November 1 to March 31. The following ice rates were set on motion of Carman MacDonald and Keith Richmond: Outside teams, $25.00 per hour; Local teams, $19.00 per hour; Broomball, $18.00 per hour; Figure Skating, free ice time. . Public Skating, seasons ticket, family $17.00; Adults and Students, $9.00; Individual Admission, Adults $1.00; public school and students .75c. Play-off, - straight ice time. Minor hockey teams practice in prime time if available $8.00 per hour. Bob Pearson leads one of the "stars" of He Won't Come In From The Barn while photographers line up to take pictures. Getting the stars into Memorial Hall was a major headache for Pearson, technical director for the show which is being performed by Theatre Passe MuraWe.

Experience In Blyth, Teeswater, and , Kincardine Ontario Experience '77 has enabled many youths to start working in their chosen careers this summer, In Blyth, Kate Trotter, Patsy Lang and Suzanne Hodson are working under program 49 of Experience '77. This program is operated by the Ministry of Culture and Recreation in co-ord- ination with Ontario Arts Council, Kate is in her 3rd year of the National Theatre School in Montreal, while both Patsy and Suzanne are in Theatre Produc- tion at York University. At the Blyth Memorial Hall the girls do, as Patsy said "anything and everything". Kate is acting in two plays "The Blood is Strong" by Lister Sinclair, and "Turkey" by Jim Schaefer, a member of the Blyth Company. When she is not in rehearsal or on stage, Kate does administration 77 grants get students practical experience and box office work. Patsy and Suzanne are produc- tion assistants. Patsy works mainly on lighting, while Suzanne helps with carpentry, Both girls look after props and wardrobe. The girls not only stress the importance of the tangible, applicable experience they are gaining this summer, but also the acceptance they have had in Blyth, both from the company and the townspeople. "We've never been made to feel like outsiders, students or trainees;', said Kate: Dean Netzke, in Teeswater has, gone into business for himself with the help of program 20 of Experience '77. Under program 20 and the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, Dean was able to borrow $1000 interest free to set up his own wood working shop. Dean, a grade 12 student in Elmira, is turning out quality furniture such as desks, chests of drawers, cabinets, and tables. Because his work this summer has been financially successful and self -satisfying, Dean plans on a career in woodworking. In Kincardine, Jane Tufford is educating women in forms of recreation and sports, under Experience '77 Program 50A, with the Ministry of Culture and Recreation. Jane held a one day clinic early in July to inform women in Kincardine of the recreation facilities available to them, such as sailing, tennis, and golf lessons. Jane herself instructs a pro- gram in fitness and aqua -fitness for two classes of 20 women, She co-ordinates basketball and volley ball games, and set up a course in self defence for Kincardine women. With her experience in Kincar- dine's Recreation and Parks Department and her diploma in Recreation from Centennial Col- lege, Jane will have a solid background to continue a career in this field. Ontario Experience '77, co-ord- inated by the Ontario Youth Secretariat and involving . 18 different ministries, is giving young people upwards of 11,400 jobs across the province in career -oriented work which is also meeting a need in the various communities, O.P.P. investigates During the week August 15 - 21, officers at Wingham Detach- ment of the O.P.P, conducted twenty-one investigations, Twenty-one charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act and 28 warnings were issued.

During the week, there were four motor vehicle collisions which caused an estimated $4470,00 in property damage and injuries to three persons. On Thursday, August 18, Milford C. Laking of Toronto was westbound on .Highway 86. The vehicle crossed over the roadway, entered the south ditch, struck two trees and burst into flames. Injured as a result of the collision were Mr. Laking, and two passenegers in his vehicle, Sonya T. Urbonas and Lorna Laking, both of Toronto.

Naturally, this has brought back a lot of memories, some a bit grim, some pretty hilarious. As the old mind's eye wandered back, something hit me like a cold douche; Not that I've ever taken a cold douche. Why were we so keen to get killed? In ,this age of dropouts, draft dodgers and deserters, it seems incredible that thousands of young Canadian males, back in the Forties, were almost frantleto get into the air force, into air crew, and into a quadron, where the chances were excellent they'd be dead within a couple of months. From the point of view of common sense, reason, logic, it was not any brighter than the Children's Crusade of the Middle Ages. Why? Certainly we had no death wish. We had no deep urge to immate ourselves in the breath of the war dragon. We weren't even running to the battlements to protect our homes, our wives and children, Most of us were in school, or just recently out, and didn't have none of thcm there things, Oh, we knew we had to "Stop thet bawstawd Hitlah!" as Churchill once told us on an airfield in Normandy. We knew rather vaguely that we were defending democracy and unem- ployment against the monsters of totalitarianism and full employ- ment, although it was a bit puzzling that totalitarian Russia was on our side. We knew joining up was the thing to do, that most of our friends were doing it, that a fellow looked pretty fine in a uniform, that the girls were impressed and the hitch -hiking easier. But why the air force? And why THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 24, 1977. PG. 1 Recollections of those reckless war days air crew, where the dice were loaded so heavily? • Did we avoid the army because we didn't want to be exposed td the rude and licentious soldiery and get all dirty and grimy in action? Or the navy because we preferred a fiery grave to a watery one? I just don't know, but most of my friends, and most of their friends, chose the air force, and were dead keen on getting into air crew. Within a bare few years, most of thein were a lot less keen, and many were a lot morb dead, As 1 recall, it was a real downer for those who failed the tough medical test for air crew. Once chosen, you were filled with despair if you were going for pilot and had to settle for bomb-aimer, just because you were a little cross-eyed, Once in training, it was a shattering experience to be , "washed out" of air crew merely j because you had badly bent up I one of His Majesty's aircraft by trying to land at 40 feet up, or had wound up 300 miles off course on a cross-wuntry training flight. It was devastating if you wanted to be a fighter pilot and were shipped off to :lumbering old bombers. I have friends who still bear a deep scar on the psyche because they were made flying instructors and spent the rest of the war in Canada, This despite the fact they were chosen as instructors because they were far better pilots than the rest of us. This despite the fact that many of the pilots they trained were dead, dead, in no time. None of this was any consolation. They still feel they missed something irreco'verablc. Well I know what they missed. They , missed the stupidity of senior officers who didn't know whether they were punched or bored. They missed long, deadly dull periods of training, and short, intense moments of sheer terror. They missed being shot at, physically, by perfect strangers, and shot down, verbally, by people on their own side. They missed thc. utter blind confusion of the amateurs in charge of the war, Migawd, those idiots lost an entire wing of Separate school board buys special van BY WILMA:OKE , The Huron -Perth County Rom- an Catholic Separate School Board will provide a van to transport a handicapped student within the system, who is permanently confined to a .wheel chair. The van has been purchased at a cost of $7,233.75 from Mc- Laughlin Ford Motors, Seaforth, plus a hydraulic loading device to be installed by Gold Line Conversion of London at a cost of $1,822,70. A grant from the Ministry of Education provides the funds for this purchase. At the meeting held in Dublin Monday night the trustees learned that there has been a roll back by the anti-inflation board of the 1977.78 salary schedule for the teachers because it exceeded the guideline, The rollback amounts to .58 per cent reducing the maximum compensation in- crease to six per cent. The board approved a wage increase for the clerk -typists in the schools of four per cent, giving them $4.36 per hour, effective September 1. The eight drivers of the board owned buses have been awarded an increase of $1.00 per day for the 188 day school year, giving them approximately $17.00 pec day. Terry Wilhelm, has been.hired io teach Grade 8 at St, Boniface School, Zurich; Agnes Gaffney will teach kindergarten at St. Joseph's School. Clinton (50 per cent); Mrs, Mary Kinahan, Wingham, has been advanced from teaching 50 per cent to full time; and Herman Koert will be transferred from St. Boniface School, Zurich, to 60 per cent at St. Patrick's School, Kinkora and 40 per cent at St, Mary's School, j Hesson. The ,Ministry of Education has informed the board that it will be included in the Western Ontario regional office located in London beginning at the end of the year. The board was formerly with the Waterloo regional office but it has now been eliminated along with two others in the province, reducing the nine regional offices to six. This Western Ontario region has as its eastern boundary the counties of Grey, Bruce, Huron, Perth, Oxford and Elgin extending to the lake and Windsor.

I air -hitched all over southern England and northern France before 1 found the blasted thing, all on my own, Let's see, have I left anything out? Well maybe 1 have, First I'll take that back about stupid senior officers. There were plenty of those in Canada, too, so you didn't miss that. Perhaps you missed the joy of climbing out of your aircraft after an operation, lighting a cigarette, and talking a wild blue streak of relief and let -down, I guess you missed the glory of heading off for a week's leave in a strange country, loaded with lust, a month's pay in your pocket, and the secret sweetness in your head of knowing that nobody would be shooting at you for seven days. And you did, I must admit, miss the girls. Not all of those fumblings in the blackout were frustratjpg, But I still say we were all crazy to volunteer, and even vie to be killed.

Election talk had pretty well died down until Maggie Trudeau said she and the Prime Minister might be getting back together and some cynics in the press suggested it was the first move in an election campaign later this fall. Now with all the idiocy over the whole "first family" marital situation in the past, it's hard to lend much credence to the cynic's prediction, but still the election rumours presist. The press, and many Liberal strategists, see the election as a chance for Trudeau to seek a fresh mandate to deal with the problems that face the country from both a political side with Quebec and an 'economic side, with the present unemployment and the price and wage controls. It an election was to be held today, all the polls predict Trudeau would wipe Joe Clark off the political map. Polls of course are often wrong and who knows how the electorate may be feeling by the time an election was held, but suppose Trudeau did get his new mandate, what would it really say. That from this corner, is what is wrong with our Canadian democratic system of election and the whole concept of a mandate. If Trudeau wins the election, the mandate theory says that he has the support of the Canadian people behind him in the way he governs the country. That, of course is sheer hogwash. The vote may not be a vote for Trudeau as much as a vote against Joe Clark. Or, it may be a vote of confidence in Pierre Trudeau as the man we want to lead us in the hard fight ahead to keep Canada united, though also simply a matter of priorities with people feeling this is the most important issue so sticking with Trudeau, but being against him in the way he has dealt with the problems in the economy. Your vote, then can be interpreted many ways, when all it really does is decide who is going to government the country for the next term. Wouldn't it be nice, somehow to be able to say vote for Trudeau as Prime Minister but at the same time mark your ballot in such a way as to make him aware of all the thing you don't like about his government? Or on the other hand, wouldn't it be nice to be able to vote for Joe Clark or Ed Broadbent with out giving the appearance by doing so that you support all their policies, even some you may think are the worst thing to happen to the country since the Depression? If that kind of system could be devised, might we not. have had Bob Stanfield as Prime Minister today because people would have been able to let him know they were against some of his policies without voting for the Liberals instead? Such a system is impossible, perhaps, but there is a definite need for a better system of letting the politicians know how we feel than the present system allows. Time for tests The report of a committee of teachers and officials of the department of education rather predictably recommends against a return to standardized Grade 13 tests. But Education Minister Tom Wells is wise to say that the province has not ruled out restoring some form of external testing of Grade 13 students, says The Ottawa Journal. The old Grade 13 examinations certainly had disadvantages: there was too much emphasis on examsmanship. An ability to memorize was often too well rewarded. The exams discouraged students from pursuing paths of knowledge not closely connected to a narrow syllabus. The exams were confining and often constricting; they decided too much. But they did keep up standards. They did put the fear of the Lord or the examination into students' hearts. They did encourage intellectual discipline and orderly study habits. They were a measure of the ability , of teachers as well as of students, and that measuring is badly needed today. Mr. Wells appears to be looking for a compromise. He knows of the prevailing dissatisfaction over the present subjective evaluation standards. He knows that marks are too high, and admirable .as many of them are today's students are really not that much better than high school students of 25 years ago. He knows, of course of the strongly held view that today's graduates can't propt;rly write or spell. He has heard from the universities and the public. The place to start is by restoring, not the old standardized final examinations set and marked in Toronto, but final examinations - period. The downgrading of final exams of any kind has been almost a scandal. No matter how well a student has done during the year, -he`" should be faced with the challenge of a final test. Nothing better concentrates his mind and keeps him working to the end. The June examination papers could be exchanged for marking purposes within a school system as a useful check on standards. The final exam would not by itself, determine a student's marks for his year's effort, but it would make that mark much more meaningful than it now has become. We might add that a return to the day when some of the students on the bottom end of the learning scale of standards could be failed and sent back to repeat a year's work is needed. Teachers have become so anxious to maintain their reputations that degrees or pass marks mean very little. After all, one of the basic lessons of life is that without hard work, failure is the penalty. Wingham Advance Times. BhCK-TO 3CHOOL» SALE BY KEITH ROULSTON We take so many things for granted in our modern world and only when things go wrong do we know just how little things can be really important in our lives. I realized that the other day when I was recovering from the after effects of black Saturday. Black Saturday was a disaster of a day 1 suffered a couple of weeks back, but more about that later One of the results of Black Saturday was a jammed door lock on the driver's door of my car. Now here began on of the discoveries of the importance of little things. We get in and out of a car every day, many of us several times. We never stop to think of the intricacy and importance of the modern door- lock—at least until the day the darned thing doesn't work. Then suddenly we are completely aware of just how necessary that little mechanism is. My car happens to be one of those jobs with bucket . seats, — a centre console and a stick shift. Try having to hurdle that without putting your head through the car ceiling and you'll soon appreciate thegeniusof the man who invented the car door lock ,.,or curse him for not doing a better job of it in making sure the darned thing wouldn't jam. Anyway, with a rather busy schedule lately, I wasn't able to get along withoiut the car long enough to make an appointment at a garage and have the lock fixed until this week. The intervening two weeks made me about as supple as a yoga expert as I scampered back and forth across the stick shift and out the SACK-70es 5C11001: SALE To think you're making a profit from a kid's misery Learning to appreciate the little things passenger door. It cost me $15 to get a mechanic to take the door apart and fix the lock but as I sgeezed the handle and heard the driver's door unlock and 1 slid easily into the driver's seat without wrenching my back or kicking myself in the chin, I thought that $15 the best investment I'd made in years. Some of the other events of Block Saturday made me appreci- ate everyday things too. It was one of those hectic days when I was busy tryjng to hold down two jobs, as editor and publisher of several publications and as a playwright. There was editor's work to be done that day and I was trying to work it in in the early morning before the play- wright's work began with a late -morning rehearsal session. But things just weren't to be that morning. First came `the jammed door incident. Then as 1 hurried to .make up fnr lost time spent trying to unlock the door there came the sinking feeling that there was a deflated tire on the back end of the car. It was a flat, all right, and in one of the brand new, $50 radial tires. Now you never tend to think much about how important your tires are to you, until you have a flat. Then, all alone in the middle of a quiet country road miles from the nearest house, you suddenly pray that the spare tire hasn't sprung a leak. It hadn't, at least not yet anyway. By this time the early morning project was shot so it was time to hurry back to town to get to the reheasal on time. Take the flat to the garage and give the car to the lady of the house to run her errands. It was after lunch that she called in: the spare tire had gone flat while she .was out in the middle of a lonely country road. And she, of course, had no spare at all. It's a time like these' you come to appreciate simple things in life like days when there is only one minor catastrophe, not three. I was afraid to cross the street for the rest of the afternoon for fear of getting run over by a truck. In fact, 1 wasn't sure with the way things had started, that an airplane might not crash into the theatre and wipe us all out. I began to wonder if someone up there was trying to tell us , something and we should just forget the idea of putting on the play. Well the day finally ended, of course, and not a minute too soon. But it left me well aware of the mdoern miracle of door locks that actually work and tires that actually have air in them. P.S. Many thanks to the hundreds of you who have passed on kind remarks about that play mentioned above. It was a gratifying experience from first to last to be working with such skilled people as director James .Roy, the fantastic set designer Shawn Kerwin; the stage crew; production crew; costume depart- ment; and the fine actors Lynda Langford, Brendan McKane, Jack Blum, Ron Barry, Layne Cole- man, Alfred Humphries, and Richard Prevett and most of all to present a play before the marvellous audiences which have made Blyth one of the theatrical hotspots of Canada. re 10 projects get Wintario money The Wingham Golf and County Club is among those facilities receiving special Wintario help to correct unsafe conditions. Culture and Recreation Minis- ter Robert Welch said a grant up to $22,436 is to be made to the Wingham Golf and Country Club Ltd, to aid in the costs of constructing a new curling facility with the addition of a golf lounge to replace the original structure which was closed by the Ministry of Labour, It is among ten grants announced in Huron County today which have been 'approved from the proceeds of the Ontario Lottery.

And if the result is a barrel of laughs it is also something more, for the problems faced by the mythical village of Elm Tree Valley clearly mirror the plight of rural communities faced with the arrogance of an increasingly remote government. Residents of Elm Tree Valley, having decided they don't want to see their quiet and picturesque, village replaced with a subdivis- ion and a shopping centre to make room for an election -year highway project, stand up to the govern- ment, represented by a suave but unyielding premier and his young, ambitious and sarcastic assistant, They not only refuse to sell their properties, they declare independence and erect road- blocks to keep out the bulldozers. They also manage to score points off the government in every exchange. Warned they can't exist with- out government handouts, the villagers respond by pointing out they pay more in taxes than they get back in services. Hospital closings, destruction of farm land, the Pickering Airport fiasco --none of these are forgot- ten. And when the premier finds himself . stranded because the railroad was closed years before and the bus only runs on Sunday, the irony of his situation is not lost on the audience, Not all the jokes arc at the politicians' expense, however. A good deal of the play's charm derives from the humorous yet sympathetic way in which it looks at the foibles of the villagers themselves. The characters are sufficiently' stereotyped to convince that they do not represent any real person, but the types are familiar. A sober and sensible village reeve, who is interested in "progress" only insofar as it will reduce the mill rate and would not part with his ancient and somewhat decrepit hardware, store for any promises of wealth and luxury, turns out to have an interesting "past". It seems he, ' was once photographed swim- ming in a hotel fountain during a Good Roads convention and everyone is eager to lay hands on the pictures. An ambitious auto dealer, convinced that newer, bigger and shinier is better and that all sorts of weather is "bad for business", is all for the Highway, .but changes his tune when he learns he is out of the running for a highway service station franchise. A farmer, wintering in the hardware store, helps keep things in perspective through his com- ments and his trenchant wit, though never quite achieving his objective of scrounging a candy bar, A village councilwoman pro- vides much of the drive for the revolt,alternating between lead- ing the fight and making peace. And, for slapstick comedy, a village drunk who is full of helpful suggestions, all relating to his favorite beverage, but is clumsier than Peter Sellers' famous Inspector Cle0sot of "Pink Panther". The perspective of the play is an interesting one, looking at the contradictions between rural life and urban development through country eyes. Mr. Roulston can do this convincingly,. for he has lived most of his life in the country, first around Lucknow, then at Clinton and Blyth, and the contradiction is one he knows well. "The play's basically about the same things I've been writing editorials about for six years," he explained recently. "I was looking for fresh ways to say it." Based on the reaction of the opening night audience, he has 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Hamilton St. Prop. Irvin Bowes THE SMALLEST SHOP IN TOWN WITH THE BIGGEST VALUES. found the way.. -The points strike home with vigor and, if they happen to tickle the funnybone on the way, so mud the better. If you haven't seen the play yet you'll have to wait–at least until next year. It ran for only six performances, ending last Friday. There is no word yet on whether it will return to the Festival next season, but judging from its reception.. there would appear to be a good chance of it. Additionally, Mr.. Roulston re- vealed he is working on another play to be produced next summer and promised it too will follow a country theme. ***** How do you handle a 1,200 pound cow–on stage? That will be the technical director's problem tonight when the Theatre Passe Muraille brings its production of "He Won't Come In From The Barn" to Blyth. The play is about a farmer who decides to renounce the world and retreat to his barn as a• personal protest against government regulations and farm centralization, and live animals arc used as props. It is coming to Blyth for a two week run, Aug. 24 to Sept. 3.

Business Column An academic who thinks small BY JIM SMITH In 1846, a fellow named Abraham Gesner developed a new fuel. He called it kerosene oil. Abraham Gesner, incidental- ly, lived and worked in Prince Edward Island. In 1869, someone named George Desbarats developed the world's first half -tone method of reproducing protographs. George Desbarats, as it happened, lived and worked in Montreal. In 1951, a Dr, Harold Johns succeed by expanding." method of treating cancer. Dr. Johns lived and worked in Saskatoon. Gesner, Desbarats, and Johns were all social giants. Yet they represent only a small portion of the many Canadian entrepren- eurs who have changed the world. Typically, they were small, independent businessmen. Most of our great achievers have been independent business- men. They worked without adequate funding or official encouragement. They turned out everything from Pablum to snowmobiles under difficult cond- itions while big business was importing ideas from abroad. Dr. Rein Peterson, a professor at Toronto's York University, is one of the first scholars to delve into the small business commun- ity. Peterson has travelled through Europe and Asia and from one end of Canada to the other during the past year. By now, he knows as much about Canadian business as any acade- mic in the world. Peterson's experiences and insights are now available in a newly released book titled "Small Business: Building A Balanced Economy", His conclusions are disturbing. Large firms, he explains, do not develop because they are more efficient; instead, "the growth of corporations is the result of a very basic, urge on the part of many businessmen to succeed by expanding." "Large firms," Peterson found, "have, as a whole, a higher import propensity (both for capital goods and raw materials), so that small firms tend to generate relatively more jobs at home." And, finally, Peterson drops his biggest economic boomshell, "The next generation :of whiz kids," he writes, "will be those who make a big business grow efficiently smaller by selling off bits of the corporation. Where it has been fashionable for a company to boast how many workers it employed and there- fore how powerful it was, it will become fashionable henceforth to boast how much work it has subcontracted out and how much more profitable it is." Time and again, Peterson slams our economy for its emphasis on big business and big government. We are two genera- tions behind the Japanese who have created a thriving small business -oriented society, he charges. Our hope for the future lies in small business - but our economic policies solidly favour big business. His findings, in Agricultural 4•��Backhoe No. 14 - with Front-end Loader Lisenced to install septic tanks TOM CRONIN 523-4223 ,fig Towers short, support the social philosop- hy of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, Canada's leading voice of small business. Peterson may think small -even his publishing house, Press I Porcepic, is an independent business • but his market is far , from tiny. Even before the first copy rolled off the press, Press Porcepic had orders for almost 70,000 copies, easily a record for a first run in the Canadian book trade. parents Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Jardin and grandmother, Mrs. Elva Straughan.

TED HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Vacation timel It comes and goes. Its coming is long; it goes quickly, But before the vacationing months move away we have opportunity for one more question. We began in August's first week with a plan, which was, as you will readily remember, to build a good vacation, in order to prepare for the work ahead. We have gone along .the road of question in this endeavour, for questions can titilate, have a habit of running around in the back of a person's cranium, First we asked, "Who is God?" A week later we inquired about where the world is going, and then about the purpose of life. Fascinating questions, which every living person answers every day again. Now for the fourth one, again a question every man woman and child gives answer to. Probably the most popular question around is this: "Who am I?" Its popularity is due In no little measure to the fact that many people feel themselves so alone in this vast universe, on elittle planet in the inestimable reaches of space, Alongside this awareness of littleness is brokenness, Where once strong bonds held families, churches, communities, there has come a sense of drifting, a 1 -don't -know -where -I -belong feeling. The question, "Who' am I?" reflects a grandiosity or egoism. Who am I to place myself in the foreground. Who am 1 that 1 must have an answer? Something the.Psalmist looked into also: "What is man that you (God)' are. mindful; of him?" Who am I? Some answers satisfy some people, like: "I am a mammal, by freakish nature evolved from primordial darkness, 1 am the most developed of all animals, Perhaps in the future, if the world exists long ; enough, there may be another creature, still more developed on the biological scale. In the meantime, however, I can best learn who I am by observing other animals. Who am I? I am a being of power; the more political or financial clout I carry the more the sense of self-worth pervades by being. The more people I can dominate, the more others look sup to me. I can tell one to go and he goes, and another to com^ and he conies, Am I not something? Who am I? ... What a vacation when these questions have accompanying answers. What strength and freshness for the labours ahead, to be a father or mother, son or daughter, farmer, shopkeeper, politican, teacher, student. Then life is rich and strong. ,In the middle of all possible human answers there comes the calm, arresting voice of another, the one who proclaims: 1 am Lord of Lords and King of Kings; in demonstration of my love and power I created the universe, out of nothing. Who are you, 0 man, to seek answers without listening to me? "I will tell you who I am, and where the world is going, and what is the purpose of your life, and who you are. I have a great pleasure in instructing you." "I tell my people every Sunday: every Christian pulpit is my judgement seat, from which 1 declare my love and my judgement."

Opescition Lifwtiile Lifestyle is keeping in shape or resolving to get into shape by regular physical activity. struggle brought out some good The Black vs, White racial struggles have produced the noblest humanity in both races: The struggles of the Black peoples under the horrors of slavery forged a capacity for suvival that has seldom been equalled this side of the galdier ages. Denied freedom, family ties and social power, the Black utilized their human resources to stabilize their own psyches and to bring children into a hostile world. They amassed vast reser- voirs of patience, indefatigable endurance and emotional sensi tivity. Women, created to bear the children of the race, torn , from their husbands and sold, preg- nant, into alien households, became strong, brilliant and determined in their resolve to provide for their children. Child- ren, denied heritage and home, developed an inner self-reliance which is the envy of any human. Fathers, denied their roles of provider and protector, found ways to protect and love other children not their own. Laughing and singing to please a non -supportive culture, the Blacks developed a soul which needed no outside permission to live and love and laugh. Taken by their own fellow Blacks and sold into slavery to the whites, and dragge dto ignominy and ignor- ance of a foreign culture, the Blacks became at home every- where just because they were at home no where. And as the debauchery of humanism bred greed and exploi- tation at the hands of a soul -less industrialism, so it also tore open the bleeding conscience of the Whites, Even as the Blacks were sneaking ways to learn to read in the hands of their, White captors, things so Whites were sneaking ways to each reading and writing to the Blacks in Africa. Under the jaundiced sneers of Black potent- ates and courtiers, White mis- sionaries were building hospitals, schools, agricultural stations and churches. Torn from their homeland by a missional love of others, denied the family comforts of Western Culture, cast into alien societies which often did not understand them or want them, Whites were dying to bring Love to Blacks. As History becomes centered in the Third World, the hope of the future lies in the love of freedom, justice, righteousness and com- passion which were taught with blood to the Blacks, and lived in Blood before the Whites.

Why don't they realize that the dignity of parting on a high note is infinitely more important than "things"? A divorced woman keeps her rings •- even if they are heirlooms, she is entitled to them. (Only a super lady would give them back,) The wife almost always gets the furniture and everything else in the house, including the wedding gifts. Again, a super lady would tell her departing husband to take what he wanted. And if he's a super -gentleman he won't take much. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I've been going with this guy for 17 months. I am 20 and Bill is 22. We got along great for a while, then he began to get on my nerves. We fought constantly about one thing or another. Finally, I decided we were no longer in love and told him I wanted out. He cried, begged me to give 'him another chance, and I agreed. Seven months have passed and things aren't any better. Whenever I metljion breaking up he goes into a crying fit. Last night he said if I try to dump him something bad will happen to me. Now I'm afraid of what he might do, He claims he can't live without me and there is no way he is going to let me go. In the meantime I discovered he is a secret drinker, _Please tell me what to do. •• Need Help bad. DEAR NEED HELP: A relation- ship held together by fear isn't worth a lead nickel, If you allow him to blackmail you, prepare for a life of hell. Tell the crybaby you're through and that if he tries anything funny you will :notify the police. Don't hesitate to keep your word. DEAR ANN: I am a 17 -year-old high school student. Joe and I have been going together for two months. We have ' become very close. When we first started to date, l noticed he didn't close, his eyes - when he kissedme. 1 thought it was+something he'd get • over, but I.still catch him looking all over the place. Why? If it's Just an annoying habit what can I say to let him know how much it bothers ' me? •• Looking A Lot In Lansing. DEAR LANS: People who kiss with their eyes open can't be • getting much out of it, It must. also make them slightly cross- eyed. Speak right up, Ask Joe to close his eyes. Tell him it will double his pleasure -- and yours, too. *** How to -- and how much? Find out with Ann Lander's new booklet, "How, What, and When to Tell Your Child About Sex."
