DEAR ANN LANDERS: May 1 share with you and your readers some feelings as our only son prepares to leave for college? I'm sure many mothers have had similar thoughts. I started writing this in June and finished last night, Thanks, Ann. HOLD FAST THE SUMMER It is the beauty of the day and all it contains -- The laughter and work and finally the sleep. The quiet --- Oh, September,. do not put your weight upon my mind. For I know he will be going. This son of mine who is now a man •- he, must go. Time will lace my thoughts with joyous years. A September. thought The walls will echo his "Hello." His caring will be around each corner. His tears will be tucked into our memory book, Life calls him beyond our reach -- to different walls, New, faces, shiny halls, ,shy smiles, many places. Greater learning -- he must go. But wait, before he leaves. Be sure he knows you love him. Hide the lump in your throat as you hug him. He'll soon be home again --but he will be different. The little boy will have disappear- ed, How I wish I could take September and shake it, For it came too soon. I must look to the beauty of each new day DEAR FRIEND: You touched the hearts of millions today. Thanks for sharing your gift of sensitivity. from a DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm sorry you let the opposition beat you down, You were right the first time when you said, "Show me a husband who looks like a refugee from a rummage sale and I'll show you a wife who doesn't care about him," I own a fairly sizable men's clothing store and if it weren't for the wives, we couldn't stay in business. About 70 per cent of our sales are made when the wife comes in with her husband. We love to see a couple walk-through the door because we know they are serious customers. Almost always the wife makes her husband take a second suit or a blazer or a pair of slacks. And she's the one who does the selecting, which is a good thing, Her taste is always better than his --or he doesn't care one way or the other. The best -dressed men in this town are the ones whose wives reader bring them in. They also seem to have the best marriages. I hope you will print my letter even if you don't want to answer it. I Wouldn't blame you for not wanting to get back into that meat -grinder, --Main Street Mer- chant, DEAR MERCH: Here's your letter and my thanks for the escape hatch, I'm taking the Fifth. DEAR ANN: Recently my parents were divorced, Dad is going to marry a very nice woman soon. The problem is I don't know what to call her. He suggested "Aunt Irene," but it would be dumb, She is not my aunt, I came up with "Irene" but Dad says it's not polite for a 14 -year-old boy to call a 30 -year- old lady by her first name. I can't call her "Mother." That name is reserved, Help, please. --Gagged DEAR G.: I vote for Irene --and I'll bet she would, too. Why not let her decide? *** Is alcoholism ruining your life?

Thus are the two sides of the controls debate divided, and much of the Canadian public with it, The O.E.C.D, is an international economic body which should be objective if anyone is. The Canadian Labour movement now sides with the big business community saying that all our economic problems are as a result of the controls. Small business, as represented by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business says the controls must stay on. Recent Gallap polls show that the majority of Canadians now support the controls program. To be sure, the program has not been as successful as everyone would have liked but most Canadians look at the way things used to be and the way they could have been if the controls had not bee applied, and the controls suddenly look pretty good. The Canadian Labour movement is not helping shift public opinion against the controls intits present stand. The idiocy of such statements as Shirley Carr's claim that the average wage settlement is four per cent while the cost of living goes up 10 per cent has destroyed the credibility of the union arguments. What shows through is that unions have not yet learned that Canada can't afford to continue the astronomic wage and price spiral that it has led the country into such a mess. Likewise, big business has already found enough ways to circumvent the regulations to make it evident that taking off the controls at this time would simply bring it a return to the old days of big price hikes. Big unions and big business have the power to win battles in an inflated economy. Unorganized workers and small business don't. Big business sees inflationary times as a chance to wipe out more of the weaker, smaller companies. Big unions see inflationary times as a chance to convince more unorganized workers that they need unions. The two have a vested interest. The rest of us, who don't have the clout, need the controls continued. We cannot afford to let the controls die until we've first killed off the greed that has led us into the problem in the first place. Only when we've returned some common sense can we afford to relax the rules. Shopping spree costs $8 billion Canada is embarking on a shopping spree for arms that eventually will cost a total of $8 billion. This figure includes $2.5 billion for a new fleet of fighter aircraft and a major ship replacement program that will cost about $3.5 billion. Other more immediate spending plans include procurement of tanks and armored cars, military communications and artillery equipment. By 1981, Canada will be spending $1.3 billion annually on equipping its armed forces -- almost three times today's figure of $450 million. Admittedly, the Canadian expenditure is only a fraction of the $350 billion being spent each year on military costs by all of the world's nations. This kind of global folly is no excuse for needless spending by the Canadian Armed Forces. If only there could be agreement among all nations -- and particularly the great powers -- then the productive capacity that could be released by a reduction of military spending could help to alleviate poverty at home and abroad. Military spending and military commodities production are among the least efficient means of creating employment, and as a result actually create unemployment. Military commodities production is with very few exceptions highly capital intensive. This is true particularly of the aerospace industry. Therefore, as capital is channellled into these military industries, other sectors of the economy that would be more effective in creating jobs are left short of capital financing. Arms expenditures severely reduce the resources available for essential sectors and social services. And they also .cut the money available to help developing countries. The total debt of the developing world is now about $200 billion. By next year, the poorer countries will be paying $13 billion a year in interest to the richer nations. Clearly, their need for more assistance --including grants and concessionary loans --is great. Although Canada is only 22nd in the world in per capita military spending $130 per person per year), should we not be cutting our arms costs even further in an effort to give more help to poorer countries -• and as an example to other rich nations? -Contributed. Fan at the Thresher Reunion BY KEITH ROULSTON Metric madness has hit the country. There seem to be more people against the metric conver- sion these days than for it. In fact it's hard to find anyone who'll admit to sympathizing with the move to metric. I can't say 1 get too excited about the switch to metric but 1 do find the arguments against the move more than a little ridicu- lous. Some of the people •whose opinions 1 normally respect have said some of the stupidest things. People like Bill Smiley and Bob Heskeith normally very rational men have come up with some of the most irrational reasons for hating metric. About the idiotic thing I've heard is that the metric conver- sion is one more evidence of the dictatorial tendancies of Pierre Trudeau. Metric conversion, of course, has been talked about for many years, long before Trudeau came along. The fact remains that Canada is only one of many countries to make the switch. We should have know a little about what was to come after watching the British and the Australians for two, go through it first (remember that shapely miss in a bikini with her measurements given in centi- metres?) Now I can understand the reluctance of people to switch to a new system, particularly older people who've had the British system of measurement ingrained in them for so long. I find it hard sometimes myself to think metric accurately when somebody tells Metric opposition goes a little bit overboard me that its 25 degrees Celcius outside, even though I'm young enough to have had some training in the metric system while still in school. On our orecent vacation I found it startling to see the distances on highway signs given in metric and to try to figure out just how far that really is I'll agree in the criticism of metrica-p tion in one point: that the transition should have been more gradual, much as it has been with the switch to Celcius tempera- tures. I kind of wonder, though, if all the fuss isn't as much a case of insecurity on the part of Cana- dians as much as being upset over the change. People in Canada just don't like to be 'out front and that's what we are in this case by comparison to the people we always compare ourselves to: the Americans. The Americans, of course, are going metric too, but they're a few years behind us. I can't help but wonder if we'd be having all this fuss if the Americans were ahead of us in metrication. Then, I think many of the same people now accusing the government of dictatorship would then be complaining that the government wasn't moving fast enough. *** . An anonimous lady phone with an old complaint last week: why isn't there more sports in The Standard. How come' all that's ever in the paper is theatre news, and not more sports? We've heard the complaint enough times over the years that the staff has the answer on the tip of their tongues: because nobody brings it in. The lady complained that there were theatre stories on five pages of the paper last week and very little sports. The reason was simply that nobody brought us in any sports and several theatre stories were brought or sent in. If there had been more sports there would have been less theatre last week because several of the theatre stories were used only because of a lack of news to fill the paper in one of those quiet, end -of -summer weeks. To accuse your editor of a lack of interest in sports is a mistake. I played just about every sport going at one time or other. I was a sportswriter before getting in- volved in other forms of writing. The first publication 1 owned was a sports publication. But interest aside, the fact remains there are only 24 hours in a day and in the past six years, this job has taken up often 15 or more of those hours. There is just no time to cover all the hockey and ball games going on. So if you're involved in sports and you think that sport should be reported on, get off your duff and do it yourself. Some people, such as Jack Coultes, Jack Stewart and Bill Hull have done so over the years and we've done our best to co-operate, space permitting. We welcome sports coverage as part of the coverage of the whole life in the community, but just as .we don't attend all UCW meetings to report on them or the Women's Institute, neither can we attend all ball games to report on them.

PG, 6, THE BLYTH STANDARD/SEPTEMBER 7; 1977. BY BILL SMILEY This is being written from a hospital bed, where I am in traction and under heavy seda- tion. Don't worry. I wasn't in a car crash. I just had a five-day visit from by grandboys, It seems that my daughter was moving and it was going to be awfully difficult with the boys underfoot and it was a great chance for Gran and Grandad to really have a good visit with their favorite people untrammeled by the interventions of parents. What can you say? "Sorry, but we like to play golf in the afternoon, spend a quiet evening, and get up when we feel like it in the morning, during holidays"? Of course you can't. You burble something like: "No problem, dear. We'd love to have them, It'll be a real treat." And then you hang up the phone, look at your better half, and mutter mourfully, "G' od Gawd, the kids are coming." They came, they saw, they conquered. And that's why I'm writing from hospital. As soon as 1 get out of traction, they're moving me, permanently, to a place called Autumn Daze, a home for chronic grandfathers to eke out their last few months, exchanging senile horror stories about grandchildren. Oh well, it may not be so bad. My wife says she'll come and visit me regularly, .except during the golf, skiing, fall and sewing seasons. That means once in March and once in November, She promised to bring me a drink on each occasion, because my nerves are shot to hell, too. But that's a long time between mickeys. It isn't that my grandsons are bad kids. They're not. It's just that they are three and a half and one and a half years old, and their favorite sport, indoors and out, is tormenting the living daylights of' of each other. First few days weren't bad. The Old Lady has a way with them. She can change a diaper on one and carry on an incredibly complicated conversation with the other without getting a, hair out of place. She can sit at the sewing machine, with one on each knee, and actually sew, as they try to poke their fingers under the needle. When she's cooking, she plops them up on the counter beside the stove, where the older one asks 84 questions, all beginning with "why," and the little one opens the cupboard doors and bangs his eye on them and shrieks. During this period, my role was a fairly passive one. All 1 had to do was get them their breakfast. Nothing to that. 1 give them each a can of yoghurt and half a banana. For dessert, 1 open a can of peaches and get the ice cream out. It may not be your standard, The boys came and BiU unimaginative, cereal breakfast, but the boys go for it and seem to thrive on it. And then, of course, when they've finished breakfast and are in a great mood, there's not much for me to do, Except let them play around, on, and over me, break up eight fights over whose ball or shovel it is, and serve as a trampoline when they line up at the far end of the living room, run as hard as they can, and hurl themselves head -first into Grandad's lap, almost invariably knocking heads together, with subsequent recriminations, howl- ing; and both of them on my knees being comforted. But before you know it, lunch is over and it's nap time. No. 2 goes down happily with a bottle. No. 1 requiressix stories. If I read the one about Flicka, Ricka and Dicka one more time, I'll go out of what is left,of my mind. But it works. He gets groggy. Just as he's drifting off, No. 2 hurls the bottle out of his crib, leaps up, rattles the bars, yells for action and both are wide awake ready for More Fun And Games With Grandad. Afternoons in the backyard are comparatively peaceful, except for one thing. For some misguid- ed reason, I have only one lawn hose. Did you ever see two boy's with only one hose between them? Older is stronger. He wrests hose from Younger and squirts him with ice-cold water. Younger bellows, runs to Gran- dad, soaking from head to foot,. and jumps up to be loved and petted. Older forgets hose and starts to climb gate. Grandad yells. Meantime, Younger has picked up hose and gleefully squirts Grandad. Grandad yells again, unprint- ably. Younger drops hose and runs, square into square corner of picnic table. Great welt on forehead. Gran will be furious with Grandad for not watching boys properly. Those were the good days. Came Tuesday, and Gran was committed to a golf tournament. Dubiously. "Are you sure you can cope?" "Who me? Course I can cope. No sweat. I can handle these two with one head tied behind my back." "Well, maybe...but..." "Gawn, away wid yez, It'll be child's play." And it was. Six hours of it. During which: eight fights were broken up; the boys ate all four of the chicken legs I'd prepared for the three of us; we went shopping and I lost one for 60 panic -filled seconds in the maze of the supermarket; the Younger dis- covered how to unfasten the buckle of the seat -belt; the Older LifvOperation e Lifestyle is knowing how to avoid accidents at work, at home, arschool or in sports.

Beef marketing systems improved Renovations to Eastern Ontar- io's centralized beef cattle mar- keting facility located at Galetta, near Ottawa, will be completed in early September. A 1000 -head cattle barn, a modern cattle scale and an enlarged sale ring have been added to an established market facility near the hub of eastern Ontario's beef industry, says C. C. Morrow, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food beef spec- ialist. "Improving an existing • sales facility was a wise move, since the renovations provide a location for special stocker -feeder sales and local weekly sales of finished slaughtered cattle." Improvements, sponsored by the Eastern Ontario Stocker-. Feeder Sales Association, create a modern marketing system to stimulate competitive buying and attracti more cattle. "One feature of this large centralized sale is that cattle can be sorted by type, size, sex, color and condition, This enables buyers to purchase large numbers of uniform cattle by lot," Lack of buyere competition for stocker and feeder beef cattle was the major flaw in eastern Ontario cattle marketing until 1976, Beef producers had ' no centralized marketing structure to encourage competition. Buyers selected most cattle on farms or a small local sale. Representatives from county cattlemen's organizations formed EOSFSA in 1976 to promote up to four centralized stocker and feeder sales each year. The long -sough marketing im- provements will be a highlight of the second special stocker and feeder sale sponsored by the EOSFASA, October 24. More than 1500 cattle will be con- signed. The first EOSFSA sale of more than 950 cattle was held in October 1976. Don't forget to GIVE before you go Be a RED CROSS Blood Donor TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO r,,J) SYNDICATE Peter is five but seems more like three because his development has been slower than average. He's a friendly child, extremely affectionate with people he knows. And he's lovable with a sparkling personality and a cheery sense of humor, Though he has a tendency to croup, Peter is in good general, health, There is diabetes in his background, but he has no sign of it. Medication which he needed earlier for hyperac- tivity has been,discontinued and his'foster,parents say he is better without it, Peter likes children younger than himself and he can play happily alone with his cars and trucks. He loves to sing and dance, Religion is important in his foster home: and Peter enjoys the family worship and his own bedtime prayers. He needs a mother and father who will give him the love he craves, who will provide consistent discipline and who will not worry over his slow development. To inquire about adopting Peter, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community & Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. In your letter tell something of your present family and your way of life. For general information about adoption contact your local Children's Aid Society.

Frorra the minister's study Back to school BY PASTOR CECILE MARQUETTE CHURCH OF GOD AT BLYTH The school bells remain silent no longer but busily do their work calling children and teachers back ,., back to school. Can you hear the groaning? "Yuck school, 1 wish we had more holidays, a lot more," or "Back to work, sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, I wonder if those kids learn anything at times." Underneath the children arid teachers know it is important to begin school again, If we had continuous holidays we wouldn't appreciate them either. School days are a time to learn. In Kindergarten the children feel a surge of joy and accomplishment at conquering the alphabet or printing their name, In college and university much more complicated tasks are completed, From Kindergarten to University it is a growing process, We wouldn't put a college student in Kindergarten and expect him to be thrilled at printing his name, nor would we reverse the roles and expect a five year old to understand Freud, Erikson or Piaget, Learning is a continual process. As the children pass from one grade through the next they are prepared by previous training and thus they will grasp new ideas and grow in wisdom. In our spiritual lives we too must grow in wisdom. A person who has been a Christian for 10, 20 or 30 years needs to be farther along in their christian walk than a babe in Christ. The babe in Christ needs teachers and they don't just consist of the preacher and Sunday School teacher but of all Christians everywhere that he comes in contact with. Even preachers need to grow and learn. How can we learn without being taught and how can we be taught without someone to teach us? We need to learn from one another, We also need to learn by reading good books of faith and testimony but most important, we need Bible Study and prayer, Knowing what the Bible teaches is essential to Christian Growth. Let us be grounded deep in the Word of God. The writer of Hebrews challenges us to go beyond the elementary principals of God to become mature Christians.• "God of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principals of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat, For every one that useth milk is unskilled' in the world of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are full of age, even those who by reason of use have their sense exercised to discern both good and evil," Hebrews 5: 11.14. Let us go back to Sunday School and Church with a new sence of excitement in learning the things of God. Shall we study our Bibles with open hearts that we may mature to eat and comprehend the meat of God's Word. ‘Cb u U CHURCH OF GQD.: McConnei Street, Blyth• Pastor Cecile Marquette Service -11 a.m. Sermon: "The Bread of Life from John 6" Join Us In Worshiping Together THE ANGLICAN CHUCH Ot CANADA There is to be a combined service for the four church at: Trinity Church, Blyth on Sunday, september 10 at 5 o'clock for Holy Communion with BISHOP RAGG THE UNITED CHURCH OF CANADA REV.

' • Flour beetles used for genetic research Flour beetles are increasingly popular subjects for genetic research into plant and animal breeding problems, says Profess- or G.W. Friars, Ontario Agricul- tural College researcher. ' "The flour beetle is a good pilot organism for testing genetic theory with limited space and time." The beetle's short life cycle and small feed and space require- ments mean adequate experimen- tal populations can be raised economically. "The main advantage flour beetles have over popular test organisms, such as fruit flies, is 10 pairs of chromosomes. This means beetles are more geneti- cally similar to cattle, poultry, and other practical species." because of this similarity, traits such as beetle growth rate and reproductive ability can be investigated by simulating those of plants and animals. Genetic experiments using beetles aid breeders concerned with developing optimum stock characteristics. Experiments rela- ting beetle genotype (breed or variety) and environment shed light on selection in practical organisms to fit diverse environ- mental conditions. "The genetic effect of inbreed- ing is a major concern to animal breeders," says Dr. Friars. "Work with the flour beetle indicates that inbreeding slows selection for traits such as growth rate, but can be advantageous when followed by crossbreed- ing," •••••••••••••A••••••••••••••••• • • • • 'from • • • to the 1977 • • • • •• THRESHER 'REUNION• • Have a good day in Blyth • • • • A.

The Marshalls were pleased with the calving results of their new breed of cattle so when in 1975 they heard that Frank Selke of Rigaud, Quebec was selling out, they purchased 32 head of cattle from him. In this herd they got two more bulls. They also purchased a registered Dun Beltie bull from Coloradoln 1974, so that they could run four separate blood lines.'

DEBBIE RANNEY Blyth is a small village that has become unique in its own right with two leather and tanning mills and its own theatre. but just outside the village, Robert Marshall is doing his own thing to make this part of the area unique. Robert Marshall, who lives at R.R.3, Blyth is a breeder of the rare registered Belted Gailoways and currently holds the honor of having the largest herd of registered Belted Galloway cattle in Canada. It all started in 1965 when the Marshalls were having trouble raising Holstein calves. Mr, Marshall heard about the Belted Galloway cattle which were supposed to be a hardier breed. He decided to put theory into practice, purchased a Galloway bull, mated it with their Holstein females and found that the calves were healthier. The Belted Galloway breed originally came from the Mull of Galloway in the south-west of Scotland which was a rough, rocky and cold part of the country, thus making the cattle extremely suitable for Canada's likewise cold and bleary climate. This particular breed of cattle grows an extra long coat of hair during the winter to protect it from harsh winter THE TRIPLE K RESTAU RANT EXTENDS A WARM WELCOME TO ALL ATTHE THRESHER REUNION Whatever You Want at Mealtime A Speedy Snack?

So what is government doing? In typical fashion, our national leaders are sticking their fiscal fingers in the economic dkike and praying for a mircale. You can count on one thing about government; whenever it gets into economic trouble, it responds by trying to shore up big business. The assumption in Ottawa is that big business is the foundation of our economy. But, as a - new book called "Small Business: Building a Balanced Economy" by York University'. Dr. Rein Peterson strongly point: out, big business isn't necessarily good business. Not, at least, for all Canadians. Dr. Peterson spent a year investigating some of the more popular beliefs about the merits of big business. The results of his investigations are surprising. For instance, although big business is believed to be the .most signifi- cant source of employment in Canada, in fact, only 15 per cent of the big firm's total costs are for wages. The small firm, on the otherhand, pays out approximate- ly 30 per cent of its total expenditures as wages. So the small firm is responsible for more employment, per dollar of sales, than the large firm. • Now, you might suspect that the govermmnent would go out of its way to help the small businesslnan. After all, a thriving small business sector could solve 11. Continued on pg. 12.

The Belted Galloways are a hardier breed than most since they originally came from the Mull of ' Galloway In Scotland which was very cold, rough and rocky. In winter they grow an extra long coat of hair for protection. Marshalls make farming a family affair Continued from pg. 10 hardiness, their ease of calving and their relatively inexpensive (in comparison with other types of cattle) eating habits. The Galloway breed eats many types of grasses and weeds that other cattle refuses to eat. "They're hardier in the wintertime and they don't have to have really choice feeds. You can feed them easier and • cheaper," Mt. Marshall said, Back in an enclosure behind his barn, Mr. Marshall has , open heifers that stay out there even in the wintertime and - Mr, Marshall stems to think they re healthier cattle because of their outdoor stay. kr. Marshall has his fields separated into four different areas so that four bulls run four different bloodlines and related cattle aren't sold together. The Belted Galloway cattle have a few other things going for them besides their hardiness. They also give quite a lot of milk for a beef animal which doesn't mean that they would be a good dairy cattle but it does mean that they can raise strong calves with a heavier weaning weight. The Gallowaysare a quiet breed and Mr, Marshall says he hasn't had any trouble with his bulls so far. • The Belted Galloway cattle are becoming more and more of a family affair as two of the Marshall children, Sherri and Alexander (Sandy) have become involved with 4-H and are showing their calves in competition. Sandy, in fact, has won some awards for his efforts. He has won in the 4-H Queens Guineas, a competition at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto in 1974, 1975 and 1976 for his calf's official gain on a five month test, In 1976 his calf had a daily gain of 3.0 pounds which is as his father puts it, "a good, honest gain." A common question that most people ask is why there are • so few herds of Galloway cattle around. The reason here seems to lie with the integrity of the cattle owners who wish to keep the Galloway features "just the way they are" and so they use only registered stock, A pamphlet put out by the Canadian Galloway Association states that, "The Canadian Galloway 'Association has a closed herd book. Only one other breed of the 15 registered within the Canadian National Livestock records does this. All other breeds will permit registration if the cow is 7/8 the and the bull 15/16 ths..No Galloway can be registered unless both sire and dam were purebred. In this way, no undesirable genes can be introduced into the breed." "1 have always maintained that you don't know whether you're getting points for the female or the bull that was imported, Mr. Marshall said in regard to cros's-breeding. There are very few Belted Galloways west of Ontario. There is one breeder in Manitoba and one breeder in British Columbia and there is maybe about a dozen breeders in Ontario, Mr. Marshall said. Mr, Marshall himself has no desire to go back and try another breed of cattle. These suit him just fine. Most of Mr. Marshall's business comes from selling cross -bred cows to other people interested in raising this unusual breed and the Marshalls themselves are aiming for a • totally pure-bred herd. "1 feel quite strongly that had we just been in a straight commercial beef operation we would have quit long ago," he said. The Marshall farm started out as a family operation with Robert's grandfather. The farm is now about 97 years old. Mr. Marshall first took over the farm from his father in 1953 when it was a Holstein and dual Shorthorn herd. Mr. Marshall quit school in 1951 to help his father on the farm and started renting the farm from his father in 1953. In 1958, he got married and bought 'the farm from his father. Today, Mr. Marshall has kept the farm a family operation with just his wife and three children to help out but his wife and two of the children also have other outside jobs. Mr. Marshall's wife works as a secretary at Clinton Hospital. His oldest boy works at the A & P store at the Suncoast Mall in Goderich and his daughter works at the Village Restaurant in Blyth. The Marshalls are hoping to cull some cross -bred heifers this year. They currently have a herd of about 125 or 130 cattle. "One thing about the crossbreeding in the Galloway.

Letters to the editor Writer protests inconsiderate use of property THE EDITOR: They say it takes all kinds of people to make a world and 1 guess it is true. As most people know our house was up for sale and while we were not living there we kept coming back to check on things and keep the grass cut. One such visit we left a window open for circulation and upon returning a few days later found that someone had climbed the outside wall, removed the screen and gained entance. Fortunately no real damage was done except the electric heat was put up to 80 deg. But what made us really upset was the fact that when we arrived August 30 to pick the peaches on our peach tree it had been picked clean. This was not the work of. kids or teenagers but adults who drove their car in the back yard. The hquse was still in our Business Column Continued from pg.10. much of the employment crisis. But the government doesn't see it that way. • Instead, the small firm - because it has a higher proportion of its business tied up in labour • bears a heavier paperwork and tax burden than the large firm. Not only must the employer act as the government's tax collector, but it must also contribute to unemployment insurance and pension funds on the employee's behalf. Meanwhile, the big firms - which can use machines to replace large numbers of workers • receive tax breaks from the government and are freed from much of the paperwork that comes with employing others. The way it works out, the small firm is actually paying for the social costs that are created by the big firm. In socialist coun- tries, Dr. Peterson discovered, the big, stateowned firms consis- tently lose money; the deficit is paid out of taxes on the profitable small firms. • And what about the theory that the small firm gets tax conces- sions that aren't available to big business? Dr. Peterson found that the average smallest corporation , actually pays 27.7 per cent tax on earnings while the biggest corporation, after allowing for capital incentives, pays 28 per cent. In other words, the socalled "dual corporate tax rate" which the government claims means much lower taxes for small business than for big business is a sham. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business has'sug- gested that UIC and CPP contributions ,should be removed from the employer's responsibili- ties and tied in to the income tax system. Dr. Peterson's findings back up the Federation and prove it's time the government quite relying on fiscal fingers in the economic dike.

'Tis Show Biz Canada wastes food and while millions starve BY VONNI LEE Do you remember how much food you threw away in last week's garbage? Guess that little child in Africa would have liked that food. It would have lasted him a month. Not even our cats have to eat garbagel A lot of people eat less, Your grocery bill last week, was it sixty or eighty dollars? How much of it did you need? How much of it did you want? How much of it will end up in next week's garbage? . Do the answers to some of those questions make you feel guilty? They should. And not only guilty, but worried....because what you are eating now is probably going to affect the lives of your grandchildren a great deal, We have it all • they may not be so lucky. This was the message that "Five Minutes to Midnight" tried to convey last week on CBC Television. It was a British documentary and looked at the world and her people, those of us who live in the have countries, and those in the have-nots. A small 20 per cent live as we do, with plenty in our pockets and plenty to spare. But 80 per cent have nothing. Unless something is done, we are headed for a global catastrophe, the documen- ary implied. Producer Alan Hart predicts this could happen in three to five years. He is supported in his views by Robert McNamara, president of the World Bank, who maintains that we must make a decision, "To make no decision will be the worst decision of all", he says. He firmly believes that if we do not have the courage to make these decisions, it will be "those who come after us" who will have to pay the penalty. The documentary dealt with the indescribable suffering of the Third World who live every minute of every day with famine; the unequal distribution distribu- tion of the world's resources: the tragic mount in unemployment; the need to control population and the 'who cares?' attitude of those of us who have toward those who need. What the film did not directly say was that we who have beef and chew because our job is too demanding, our boss is too tough, wages are too low; those of us who are handed money because it's easier than working; those of us who would rather complain about a situation than better it; had better realize that we have the world by the tail and it's time we got off our fannies to help make it a better world for others. As the saying goes; "If we each saved a little, we'd all save a lot". We've been warned many times; are we going to wait until this golden coach turns into a pumpkin and we are left with nothing, not even a glass slipper? It's a sobering thought. *** A giant of the television screen, actor Sebastian Cabot died last week after suffering a stroke at the age of 59. He had been doing little since his last stroke three years ago but we remember him well from the two series, "Checkmate" and more recently, "Family Affair" in which he starred with Brian Keith, He was born in England and began his acting career on the London stage, before making English movies. He later moved to the U.S, where he starred in several motion pictures before breaking into television. At 86, Groucho Marx succumb- ed after a lengthy illness in a • money California hospital. The man who caused so much laughter during his lifetime, was surrounded on his deathbed by bickering, between a family who seemed to pop out of nowhere when they thought he was dying, and his companion of several years, Canadian Erin Fleming, who gave up her career and life for this man, Groucho, of course, began his career in vandeville with his brothers but went on to be the most successful of all the brothers. The U.S. is Ontarid's major trading partner, accounting for about 80 per cent of exports, states the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism. Within the E.E.C., the largest single mar- kets are the U.K. and West Germany. Books in the Blyth Public Library NO DARKNESS FOR LOVE This Is one of the.

Now is the time to insultate your home Many people will be Insulating thelr attic this year -especially with the impending Government Incentive. It may seem a simple job, and it is, providing it is done correctly. Here are a few simple tips that will make the job easy and more effective. The first thing is to examine the attic carefully. Not just• around the trap door but into the far reaches and corners. For this a good light with a long extension i required -and it should be a bulb that is protected. No need to take chances with a broken bulb giving you a jolt or perhaps, even starting a fire. Some insulating materials are combustible, in whole or in part. Now that you can really see what you are doing, make sure you have a substantial board to stand on. It can be expensive if a slip causes a foot to go through the ceiling below. Check the thickness of the existing insulation. Is it up to the top of the joists? Is should be. Does it cover the entire area? If it doesn't, your ceiling is leaking heat. Gaps and thin' insulation allow heat to escape, and with the spiralling cost of fuel that can be expensive. If your insulation does not meet all the criteria mentioned, you need an additional heal seal, and one of the best and easiest produc to use is vermiculite; a light- weight granular, fireproof insula- tion that pours easily and flows into gaps in the old insulation. Pour it higher than the joists, then level the vermiculite by drawing a light weight board across them. Do the whole job, or only a section at a time when you' have the money and the ambition. Fuel bills have a way of stimulating the homeowner to finish the job once it is started. Many people want even more insulation than will fit between the joists. Not a bad idea in face of continually rising costs. In fact, it is recommended. The best way to have even more insulation, once the base has been prepared, is to lay friction batt insulation (with no vapour barrier) across the joists making sure they are pushed tightly together. Don't work yourself into a corner, work from the perimeter of the attic towards the access opening. The advantages of using batts for extra insulation is that they can be lifted and replaced if it is necessary to go up there again. A fill insulation hides the joist tops that you may have to walk on some day. CAUTIONS If you have a new home with loose fibre insulation, let it settle first before reinsulating. It may take six months or a year, but it is worth the wait. If your existing insulation is cellulose, it may contain corrosive chemicals which are added to reduce the fire hazard. It is best to scrape cellulose insulation Just a reminder ;‘ Be a REDCROSS Blood Donor away from electrical outlet boxes, metal nailing plates on trusses, etc. Inspect them first to see if any damage has started before refilling with vermiculite. Not all cellulose insulation is coirosive, but it is wise to examine these areas. Vermiculite is non -corros- ive and a non-conductor of electricity. - Don't pack vermiculite down. Compressing it reduces its effectiveness. It is at its best density when you buy it and it won't settle. The friction fit batts won't compress or settle but do push them tightly together side by side and end to end to eliminate holes through which heat can escape. Don't try to insulate during the hottest days of summer. It gets like a sauna in attics and the heat will exhaust you. Spring and Fall are the best times of the year to insulate. If you must do the job in the summer, do it in the early morning hours before the sun has done its work on your roof, or pick a cool day. Having done the job yourself you will know It was done right. You will enjoy the comfort of a well insulated home both in summer when it keeps heat out, and winter when it keeps heat in. And year after year thereafter, you will know you are saving the maximum possible fuel as the price continues to rise. There is • still some consolation to be had in this world of rising prices.

THE RUTH STANDARD/SEPTEMBER 7, 1977. C.R. Coultes dies at 81 CHARLES R. COULTES Charles Russel Coultes, 81, formerly of Belgrave died Tues. day, August 30 at Huronview Rest Home in Clinton after a short illness. The late Mr. Coultes was born in East Wawanosh Township son of the late George W. Coultes and the former Elizabeth Anderson. He attended school in Morris Township and has worked as a farmer and a drover before retiring in 1970. From 1916.1918 he served In the 161 Batallion and was wounded at Vimy Ridge. He was married October 22, 1919 in East Wawanosh Township to Mary McGowan who prede= ceased him. Surviving are his children, Mrs. Kenneth (Mable) Wheeler, Belgrave and Jas. R. Coultes, of Morris Township, and one sister Mrs. Len (Mary) Jarvis of St, Catharines and two great -grand- ' children. He was predeceased by three brothers, Wesley, James and Albert and two grandchild- ren. Mr. Coultes was active as a Morris Township councillor, a Co-op manager and a School Fair Executive. He was a member of Knox United Church Belgrave, the Royal Canadian Legion 180, Belgrave and the L.O.L. The body was at the S. J. Walker Funeral Home in Wing- ham until September 1 when funeral services were held at Knox United Church in Belgrave at 2 p.m. with Rev, John G. Roberts officiating. Pallbearers were Don Rae, Guelph; Robert Charter, Blyth; Vincent Malcas, London; Ronald Coultes, RR 5. Wingham; Clifford Coultes, RR 1, Belgrave; Ross Anderson, Belgrave. Flower bearers were Simon Hallahan, RR 3. Blyth and William Gow of Belgrave. Burial took place yin Wingham Cemetery. Farm income small part of food cost 'In the last ten years, if farmers had taken no profit and no return on their labour, in othe: words, if farmers had sold their produce for their out-of-pocket expenses. then each and every Canadian would have saved only 22 cents a day. That's less than the price of a cup of coffee", said Peter Hannam, President of the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture, in a luncheon address at the Canadian National Exhibition's Agriculture Day, in Toronto. Mr. Hannam explained: "From 1968 to 1972, the figure was 14 cents a day. From 1973 to 1975, the three best years that Canadian agriculture has had since 1945, it rose to slightly above 30 cents a day. "But that's history now. Farm income was down over 20 percent in 1976 and with the present market outlook, l would say it will be down another 25 per cent in 1977. And so that puts the 'cents-a•day' figure for 1977 back to 22 cents a day. What does this mean for :onsumers? Mr. Hannam pointed , out: "Canadians now eat twice as much beef and poultry than they, did in 1950. "Canadians now spent only 18 per cent of their disposable income on food; in 1974, they spent 25 per cent. "Canadians eat much more of their food in restaurants or by ordering in food from the fast food outlets. "There's no question, Cana- dians now eat better for less than at any time in their history", Mr. Hannam concluded • :.tea t Old steam engines and tractors aren't the only source of enjoyment at the Thresher's Reunion. There's plenty of live entertainment as well.

Dougherty of Blyth passed away in Wingham Hospit- al on Tuesday, August 16, 1977 in his 78th year. He was born in McKillop Township in 1900, the son of the late John Dougherty and Margaret Fulton. He moved to Blyth in 1929, He was the dear husband of the former Ruth Thuell. He is survived besides his wife by two sons Samuel of Londesboro, William of . Blyth an'd two daughters Mrs. Carl (Lena) Nesbitt of Londesboro and Pat Pfrimmer of London, Also surviv- ing are five. grandchildren, One son, Clifford predeceased him in 1968, Also predeceased were three Brothers, Howard, Lisle and Stanley, Funeral services were conclud- ed on August 18 from Taskers funeral home with Rev, MacDon- ald officiating. Interment was in Blyth Union cemetery. Serving as Pallbearers were: Harvey Sillib, Bill Campbell, Harold Cook, Stewart Johnston, George Hubbard and Doug Squires. Flower Bearers were three grandsons, Ronald Nesbitt, Russell Nesbitt, Brian Dougherty. In 1929 Russell Dougherty moved from McKillop township into Blyth and took up residence in David Lee's house and ran a garage across from Snells store, now a vacant lot in a building owned by Adam Dodds, Russ and Joe Hamilton rented the garage from Adam Dodds. Joe fixed cars and Russ sold International Harvester equipment and Tommy Morrisson worked for them, Russ became a licenced mechanic, burned down in about 1935. He then bought lots from Bill Thuell (now owned by Campbell Transport) Russ built the house and garage in 1936 where he operated the garage, fixed cars and sold International Harvest- ers. In 1939 he started up a turnip waxing plant in the north side of the building (cementl which is still standing. Part of it used to be a grist mill, then an electric light plant. He was in a partnership for a very short period. Then working Ontario rutabagas add flavour The Ontario yellow table turnip is really a rutabaga. You will find it surprisingly sweet and milder than the oder varieties. Good weather conditions have contributed to a harvest of uniformly -sized, high quality rutabagas. Although the Ontario rutabaga is a cool weather vegetable, it is a myth that rutabagas should be picked only after the first frost. The first summer rutabagas have a milder' flavor than the tangier rutabagas Novice farmer program offered Applied agriculture isn't limit- ed to farmers.

In 1951, he built a precision seeder that sows one seed at. a time, It was patented in 1951, the only one in the United States of America and Canada that sowed one seed at a time (turnip planter). Then in 1951 he sold the garage and moved down Dinsley street (East end) and built the main barns for storage in 1953 (holding about 1000 bushels of turnips.

Newfarm aid available A new radio tracking unit designed to monitor body move- ments of large farm animals could help producers identify diseased or maladjusted animals. "This device has potential for commercial and research use in charting the kinds of disturbances that disrupt an animal's product- ivity," says • Professor J. F. Hurnik, Ontario Agricultural Col- lege reseacher. Movements are detected by a mercury switch' contained within a small neck transmitter worn by the animal. "Signals are recorded on a multi -channel scanner linked to a digital counter and event record- er, he says. "These instruments record the time and number of movements as they occur." The unit has been tested on 18 cows at the Elora Research Station near Guelph since April 1976. Teh radiotracking device was developed to better test the relationship between animal act- ivity, its causes, and the animal's productivity. "BEhavior is a good indicator of the animal's psychological state, health; or changing enviro- nment. Charting movement lets us determine when and how these factos affect animals." The unit also provides a timesaving, objective, and accur- ate method of collecting animal behavior research data. for'GaJa Evenings The spotlight is on our dramatic, new evening styles .. ready to make . an entrance, elegantly, at any and every occasion on your • gala agenda! 7he Tleedeeraft fie Ladies and Infants Wear.
