County Councillors disagree BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER ' By a show of hands, Huron County Council barely accepted a report ofthe executive committee presented at the regular September session Thursday in Goderich. The portion of the report which caused the controversy was the debate on tax reform in Ontario, in particular taxation on farmland. The Blair Commission recommends that farmers will pay taxes on their houses and "a reasonable amount of land" surround- ing the house from their own resources, while 100 per cent of the tax on the farm buildings and the farmland will be paid by the government. The recommendation of the executive committee was that farmers pay 100 percent of the taxes on their houses and the portion of land surroundingthem, and that farmland, together with farm buildings be assessed at 100 per cent of the market value with the farmer paying 10 per cent of the resulting property tax while the remaining 90 percent is paid by the province. The committee also recommend- ed that there be a proviso that the farmer be allowed to pay all or any portion of the taxes on the farmland and farm buildings, if he so desires. The executive committee, council was told, felt its recommendation to give farmers the choice to pay all taxes on all the property would be some protection for over tax reform those farmers who had plans to sell their property for development purposes. It is understood that taxes paid on farmland by the government are forgiveable after 10 years, providing the farmland remains as farmland. If, however, the farm is sold for development purposes, the farmer will be required to reimburse the government for the taxes which have been paid on his behalf, up to 10 years back. All property will be assessed at market value, it was stated, although there is no firm definition yet just how market value will be determined. There is also no definition of what "a reasonable amount of land" surround the farm home will be. Paul Steckle, the deputy -reeve of Stanley Township, led off the discussion by questioning the entire promise of having any or all farm taxes paid by government. "1 question whether we want to go this route," said Steckle. "I don't think there is a farmer in this room who wants the government paying his taxes for him." Steckle alluded to the present system whereby 50 per cent of the farmer's taxes are reimburses to him because the government recognizes the fact that farmland should not pay for services to people. Steckle said he agreed that farmland should not help to pay for such services as education, health, libraries, social services, etc. but he suggested the system of tax deferrals or reimbursements was not the best solution since persons who were not really earning their livelihood from the farm were also classed as farmers and thereby received the special tax concessions. "We- want to pay our taxes," Steckle told council. "Let's get paid for what we're selling and then we can pay them." Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township agreed, He said he didn't like the idea of government paying any portion of farm taxes since it would lead to farmers losing control of their own land. "If government pays the bills, five years down the road government will be telling us what to do with our land," predicted Elston. "If we accept that, we're selling out the County of Huron." As a general rule, Elston said, rural and residential assessment will be up under the new system, while commercial and industrial assessment will be down. Reeve Calvin Krauter of Brussels defended the businessmen. He said there is "nothing fair about business assess- ment" because, Krauter said, the businessman pays a sur -charge on his taxes regardless of the business he does. I'm not arguing for me alone. I've heard this complaint for years from business people," said Krauter. "If everybody paid their just tax on their real property, we'd have the money and the say so. To hell with Continued on PG. 2. There hasn't been much change in the weather situation for the harvesting of bean crops and only time can tell how much damage or how good a harvest the farmers will have. Of Huron County's 63,000 acres, only a small percentage has been harvested but it's still better off than most counties, according to Charles Broadwell, manager of the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board. For all of Ontario, the overall estimate of how much has been harvested is 13 per cent and that is based on an estimated total of between 2' and 21/2 million bags. Unfortunately the rain beats on, harvest is delayed and Charles Broadwell says the bean producers have suffered but as for a overall damage it's impossible for him to give an estimate until either the bean crop has been harvested or it hasn't. That's because in some places there have been very extensive damages, from the complete loss of an individual producer to any degree in between. "Our totals have been cut to maybe about 50 per cent of our highest potential but that's only a guess because we could do better or worse than that," Mr. Broadwell said. Since Huron County is the best off according to Mr. Broadwell, and it is the largest bean producing county, maybe things will look up. The worst county is Elgin and since it is producing less the effect is not as great as it could be. Agricultural representative of Huron county Don Pullen has said that what we need is weather like last year's International Plowing Match. "That was the salvation of the bean harvest in Huron County. Without it we would have been in trouble last year too", he said. Mr. Pullen has said that the beans that have been pulled up and are still in the fields will likely be a write-off but that those still standing have good potential if the weather dries up soon. And not only has the rain been having an effect on bean harvest, it's also taking its toll on corn harvesting as well. Mr. Pullen has said that for the corn, growth has evened up and quality and maturity is excellent, even in the north part of Huron County. Unfortunately that doesn't make much difference as long as it keeps raining. And as.for hay crops, only farmers who have high moisture silos will be able to store it to feed to their cattle. But beans have probably been the worst hit and as Mr. Broadwell said, "It's just one thing after another, one contingent on the next. It's a bad situation, probably the most devastating effect we've had on the bean industry,"_ Blyth Standard sold to McLean Brothers Publishing Ltd. Beginning with next week's edition, The Blyth Standard will have new publishers and a new editor. Effective Saturday, October 1, the Standard will be operated by McLean Brothers Publishing Ltd., based in Seaforth, The new editor will be an Auburn woman, Rhea Hamilton who will bein charge of both editorial and advertising content for the newspaper. Mrs. Hamilton will be assisted by Corrie Bylsma who has been in charge of the office operation at %The Standard for the past year. The offices of the newspaper will remain in the same building as at present and be open the same hours. Keith and Jill Roulston, who have published the newspaper for nearly six years (beginning in November 1971) will continue to operate their other publica- tions, The Rural Voice and Village Squire magazine from new offices at their farm in East Wawanosh township, 'three miles ' from the village. The couple purchased the business from • Douglas and Lorna Whitmore in November 1971, shortly after the death of Mr. , Whitmore's mother, The Whitmores retained the printing business , portion of theri business. It has subsequently become one of the best equipped printing businesses in the area. Operating at first from their house, the Roulstons changed The STandard to an offset -printed publication, using a photo- graphic process to facilitate greater use of photographs and artwork. The paper was printed on a large, web -offset press in Goderich. The aper doubled in the average number of pages. In April of 1973, the Village Squire magazine was founded and now has some 3,000 subscribers every month. Later, in June of 1975 the couple founded the farm publication, The . Rural Voice, which serves more than 5,000 farmers in Huron, Bruce and Perth Counties, In November of the same year the company expanded by purchasing the Teeswater News. In all, the company employed 10 full or part-time employees, nearly all of whom will be retained in various capacities by either The Standard or the new company publishing the magazines, Squire Publishing House. Under the new owners, all news and advertising gathering will take place as usual from the office in Blyth. Actual typesetting for The Standard will be done in the Seaforth plant and printing will be done, as before, in Goderich. Readers will be getting the paper one day earlier since the paper will now be printed Tuesday evening and. distributed Wednesday morning rather than Wednesday and Thursday as before. It will necessitate all news 'and advertising being delivered to The Standard office by Monday evening for inclusion in each week's paper, PG, 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/SEPTEMBER 28, 1977, Cou nty council holds long debate on Continued -from PG. 1. Hepburn's grants that started in 1931," "I'm not arguing for inc alone. I've heard this complaint for years from business people," said Krauter. "If everybody paid their just tax on their real property, we'd have the money and say so. To tell with Hepburn's grants that started in 1931," Reeve Gerry Ginn of Goderich Township . said the Blair Commission had set out to make the taxation system more equitable for everyone. • "We all should pay our fair taxes, "Ginn agreed. "The system we have today is not fair. It is outdated and even if the Blair report is implemented, we will have to look hard at all these things all the time to make sure things have not changed. We all agree the more you make, the more you should pay. Similarly where land .taxes are concerned, the more you own, the more you should pay." County Administrator Bill Hanly urged council to look at the Blair report as government tax reform rather,than a play to take control of the province's farmland. "The government isn't taking over the farms," said Hanly. "It is a new method to get money to pay tor the programs the municipalities are going to operate." Hanly explained that while assessment may be up 10 times over the present rie, the mill rate would only be one-tenth as much as it is now. "Just because the system is changed, the municipalities aren't going to need more money to operate," argued Hanly. "If your municipality is now working on a $200,000 budget, it isn't suddenly going to need 10 times that much. The elected people will still be responsible, and responsible to the same people." He predicted the system as envisioned by the Blair Commission would be fairer, Hanly said that if cottage owners, for instance, should be paying a larger share in a municipality like Goderich Township, they would be paying a larger share if their assessments were tied to the market value of the properties. In an urban municipality, two homes each valued at $40,000 would be paying the same amount of property tax and he suggested that some homeowners would pay more while some would pay less than under the present system. A similar result would occur in business and commercial buildings, "You would be raising the same amount of money,." Hanly insisted, "but it is a redistribution of shares on what would appear to be, I think, a fairer system. Hanly also pointed out that how much a businessman makes per annum on his property has nothing to do with the value of the property. He said an individual's earnings are another matter "and that's straightened out in income tax". "1 don't see anything wrong with the system we've got now," said Reeve Bob Lyons of West Wawanosh. "I don't mind paying:half the taxes on my farm. When I can't .pay half then I'll quit farming. "McKillop is 90 per cent agricultural," said Reeve Allen Campbell of McKillop. "If 90 per cent of all the taxes are paid by government, what difference would it i lake how high the assessment goes? Why not pavc all the roads?" Gerry Ginn, a member of the executive committee, said Campbell was forgetting that'farmers will be paying all the taxes on their homes and the land surrounding tax reform them. The 90 percent would apply to only barns, sheds and farmlands, He estimated that when things were all evened out, there would be very little change for the average farmer in actual dollars and cents paid out for taxes. "What Is market value?" asked Ervin Sillery of Tuckersmith. Bill Hanly said while it was true that some property was worth more to some buyers than to others, the inflated prices paid for real estate in the future would affect the estimated market value for taxation purposes. "If you pay an inflated price for a piece of property, the assessors are likely to back into that neighborhood and restudy all the homes to determine if the market value has increased there," said Hanly. Hanly said he'd always believed that everyone should be his own assessor. The price a person put on his real estate would be the price he would be prepared to pay taxes on as well as sell his property for when the time came to sell it. Reeve Bill Clifford of Goderich said he'd talked to assessors about this point ,and was convinced that the market value would be determined on a scale which would be the mean -not the high, not the low. Frank Cook, reeve of Clinton, said equalized assessment was now obsolete although it had cost the county thousands and thousands of dollars to change over from the previous system of municipal assessors. "How much is this new system going to cost us?" asked Cook, "How many new assessors are we going to have to hire to solve this problem?" Hanly said there was every indication the Huron -Perth Regional Assessment New Huronview resident welcomed, Mr. William McCurdy of Exeter was welcomed to the Home at Monday's program. Mrs. Maitland Driver, Molly Cox, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner provided the old tyme music. The Goderich Township Women's In- stitute volunteers assisted with the activities and Morgan Dalton helped to lead the sing -a -long. Mr. Ken. Salter from the Man stopped from cutting bush BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER A Tuckersmith farmer has been ordered by a Huron County Tree Commisioner to . stop clearing bushland on his farm. This particular bush is classed as number one by the Ministry of Natural Resources and the cutting of it is prohibited under bylaw 43 of 1974 which a bylaw to restrict and regulate the destruction of trees by cutting, burning or other means. • The bylaw provides that only trees of a certain size may be cut down. The bylaw doesn't cover trees that are to be cut for use or sale as Christmas trees; diseased trees or trees damaged by insects, wind, ice, fire, etc; trees of poor form and quality cut to improve the woodlot; trees growing on locations for fire- guards, skid -ways or logging trails; or trees that are cut "in forest stand improvement opera- tions in accordance with good forestry practices", Only woodlots of two acres or. more come under this bylaw. The bylaw doesn't interfere with the right of the owner to cut trees for) his own use, The Huron County Develop- ment Committee noted in its report that the tree commission- ers have reported several infrac- tions of the tree cutting bylaw in Huron, particularly in the north- ern part of the county. County Council supported a recommendation that the tree comissioners be given support in enforcing the bylaw, and that .both of the owner of the land the person removing the trees by charged under the bylaw• when infractions occur. Blucwater.•Centre at Goderich showed a colour film of th Goderich Sesquicentennial par=' ade for the "Family Night" program. Everyone enjoyed see- ing the parade again in picture with special interest in the float which included one of our residents Mrs. Gladys Henry the centennial queen in 1927. The Seaforth Happy Citizens Club were hosts for the Septem- ber Birthday party. Mr. Lorne Dennis, President of the Club, was M.C. for the program and did • the calling for the square dance by eight of the Seaforth Seniors s accompanied at the piano by Mrs. 1 Elsie Henderson. There were readings by Mrs. Mabel Scott, Mrs. Lillian Pepper and Joe White; violin solos by Stanley Hillen; mouth organ selections by Lorne Lawson, Mrs. Edith Dunlop accompanied at the piano for the musical numbers and Mrs. Minnie Hayter who was celebrat- ing her eightieth birthday thank- ed the Club on behalf of the residents, Office would be able to make the changes without any additional staff. "And they have less staff now than they had two years ago," said Hanly. Seaforth Reeve John Flannery said the whole system was just to permit "under the table borrowing for the provincial government". Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson said he was concerned about where, the money would come from. "If it is not coming from the farmer, where does it come from?" asked the Bayfield representative. Harold Robinson of Howick felt there should be more figures for comparison purposes. Simon P. Hallahan of East Wawanosh said, "I think we should take a pretty close look at someone picking up the tab for us," A computer printout showing current assessed values and market values for each municipality in Huron has been received from the Ministry of Treasury, Economics and Intergovernmental Affairs. It was stressed this information was "very preliminary and not complete" and that accurate comparisons could not be made, However, based on several assumptions, a schedule of comparison was prepared by the clerk -treasurer's office. "It would appear from this comparison that as a general rule, village and town apportionments for county purposes will be down while township apportionments will be up," the executive committee reported. In the figures supplied with the report, all villages and towns showed a decrease in their apportionment for county purposes while only one township-Tuckersmith-re- gistered a reduced percentage. or viiiAreari iawi_i—,_, _—,—,—viii♦ 'Conestoga College of Applied Arts and Technology We take the worry out of Home Heating!

The neighbors' boy has already advanced to the next class. Her ten -year-old daughter is popular with classmates, finds her school work easy and has a pleasant nature. But Johnny •• he seems rebellious. His lack of interest in school, is becoming more appar- ent. Perhaps he is, after all, just incurably lazy, without the necessary spark to make him move ahead in life. Still, Mrs. Smith is worried. Mrs. Jones is at her wits' end. Two-year-old Susie continually defies all efforts at toilet training, to the embarrassment of her mother, yet, the more Mrs. Jones tries, the worse the situation_ becomes. Seventeen -year-old Bill is hav- ing a rough go of it. He wants to leave home, strike out on his own •- and all he is getting is one big hassle from his parents. "Where can I turn?" is the question on each mind. In Huron County there is an answer. 1t is the Huron Centre for Children and Youths. • The names and incidents here are all fictitious, but they are typical*of,. problems handled by the centre. The work is in the area of mental health, but the people who come for help are not psychologically crippled. The director of the centre, Don. Keillor, explains the role of the service as that of a mediator, a means of channeling people in the right direction when all sense of direction has been lost in confusion. The centre concentrates its objectives on problems from infancy to eighteen years. "But we don't always know who our clients will be," says Mr, Keillor., "If a child has a problem, then his • parents have one as well." FAMILY CENTRE "Our basic motive of operation is to work with the family. We work mostly with the family, seldom with the children alone."

It is staffed by Mr. Keillor and four social workers who work within the centre or in the homes of those it serves. in a short time a psychologist will be added to the regular staff. "The idea of forming the service centre came up at a public meeting,': says the director. "With the closing of the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital people were concerned by the leak of facilities for children and young people who had problems." The meeting was held about a year ago and a steering commit- tee was formed. The centre was originally funded by -the Ministry of Health but with the shift in ministries it is now funded by the Ministry of Community and Social Services. "We are directly responsible to a local board of directors," Mr. Keillor emphasizes. "Board members come from many points in the county.

And with it, goes the incomes of thousands of Ontario farmers. Local farmers have been hard hit this year first by draught in the early summer and then by near constant rainy conditions for the past two months. Quality and quantity of grain yields were reduced by the wet weather at harvest. A large part of the white bean crop is unsalvageable. Farmers are getting stuck trying to get their silage corn off and the future for getting off the grain corn is bleak unless there is an unusual turnaround in the weather with some long, dry periods. Even what crops are harvested are bringing generally low prices. Yet one hears little public sympathy from the sources that usually complain whenever a price hike is announced in some foodstuff or other. For the first time this week the big city media seemed to realize that there was problem at all. But while there were stories on the damage to farmers, there were no editorials calling for aid, or even shedding a tear for their plight. Those same editorial pages were filled with comment on the farm scene when the great egg scandal was on and feature regular diatribes over the evils of marketing boards and attacks on federal agriculture minister Eugene Whelan. Likewise, we've heard not a word from the consumer activists who are forever talking about the injustice of high food prices. No offers of help, no offers of sympathy. Here's a bet though. If things continue to go as badly as they are at present, prices for many farm products are bound to rise this winter. When that rise is reflected in the food bill, they you'll see editorials in the newspapers and consumer voices will scream again. And chances are they'll forget all about a little thing like the present flood and blame the whole thing on the evils of marketing boards and unscrupulous characters like Eugene Whelan. Rumours are dangerous The posters were often seen during the war years telling people to watch what they said, that it could cost lifes by letting out secrets that enemy agents might pick up, It would often seem that those kind of posters should be brought back today, but now the enemy agent is the tongue that wags. We happened to hear about a couple of rumours recently that put us in mind of evil of the wagging tongue. Sometimes a rumour can get started just because in relaying information (the polite word for gossip) people are inaccurate. Other times, however, it is obvious that the gossip has no basis in fact and is an outright fabrication of someone's distorted mind. The rumours we happened to hear were of the latter kind. It brings to mind the story of a rumour that got started about a e prominent businessman in a neighbouring town a while back. The i rumour had it that the gentleman was involved in a horrendous crime i that was under investigation. s The rumour spread far and fast. By the time the local newspaper t heard about the story, it had already spread as far away as Sarnia. The y newspaper checked out the story with the police and there was p absolutely no truth whatsoever, Another man was later arrested for the t crime. But how many people heard the rumour but never heard the true outcome? How many people will go around for the rest of their c lives wond.srrng if this man actually did perpetrate the crime and got s away with tt? How much damage was done to the man's mental state a ,•an4'that of his family? How much harm was done to his business? And s all' because of a viciously false rumour. e /There are few people who actually start such rumours and said from a psychiatric help there's probably nothing that can be done about them. cm There are many, however, who spread these rumours. All of us are guilty at some time or other of passing on a story, or gossiping to call it s it's plain name. Sometimes the stories may be harmless but too often, a we perpetuate and even add to an untruth in passing it on. We're all a guilty then of helping ruining a person's good name. We all have the t responsibility of watching what we say. yours truly has been a little lacking of late. If the Blyth community gives good support to The Standard, it will serve the community well, but it must have that support. Looking back it's hard 'to believe that it's almost six years since we came to Blyth to take over publication of The Standard. Like your wedding anniversary It seems at one and the same time, just yesterday and yet forever. We came two green young kids, not really knowing what we were getting into. We had no equipment, no office, no house and probably no sense. People in the business,said it would never work, that Blyth was just too small a town to support a weekly .a newspaper today. Y Thank goodness we didn't listen to them. We've had good times and bad since then, but we've never really regretted our move. We took a hell of a chance but we'd probably ,take the chance all over again. Luckily, wife Jill didn't have any idea of what she was getting into, For the first few months, while hubby wore out the roads between Clinton and Blyth performing as editor of the Clinton News•Record and editor and co -publisher of The Standard, Jill held down the fort. She was involved in a. business she'd never been part of before, meeting people she'd never met before, doing work night and day and looking after a child as well. Later when hubby came to Blyth fulltimc things got a little easier but she still was working fulltimc and being a mother at the same time, and trying not to go crazy because her livingroom was serving as an office. She worked right up to a few hours before going to the hospital to give birth to our second daughter, then was back on the job the next week. Needless to say, without her, probably the predictions of the doomsayers that we couldn't make it would have come true. But we did survive, working long hours under some pretty terrible conditions. And during those days our love affair with Blyth took root. We discovered, that despite the hard times now and then, we were dealing with wonderful people, After working on a paper where every mistake seemed to bring a hundred phone calls, it was nice to work on one where the mistakes seemed to go mostly unnoticed and the phone calls brought mostly compliments. Many people say that in a small town you are not really consider- ed to be part of the town until you've lived there 20 years or so. Until then, you're an outsider, We've really never felt that way in Blyth, maybe because we didn't take time to worry about what other people thought. Yours truly soon became known as the person who found it hard to say no, with the result that he was named president of three differ- ent organizations within five years of coming to Blyth. Involvement in those groups has helped us sink roots in Blyth hat would make it very hard to ver leave the community. There s a spirit in this community that s rare indeed. Take a look at ome of the accomplishments of he people of the Blyth area and ou can't help but feel a twinge of ride. Whether it's private initia- tve, ' such as some of the widely -known businesses of the ommunity, or community action uch as the drive to build the new rena, the work of the various ervice clubs or the success of vents like the Thresher Reunion nd the Summer Festival, it akes one glad he can say he omes from Blyth. We have been proud that The tanaara nas been ante to netp nd encourage some of these chievements, though credit for he achievements must go to the people who got involved and did the work. We've had crusades from time to time, We once pushed for street signs for the village and they eventually came, We pushed several years ago for council to explore the possibility of getting senior citizens apartments (al- though after all the trouble the project has been it might be better not to mention that at all). We early pushed for an industrial committee and a planning board, both of which were formed but :neither of which did much work. We got involved in the long battle over Memorial Hall which many said would never be used but now hosts more than 10,000 people every summer. But more than our o a accomplish- ments, com p ments, our failures come most to our mind, We tried in vain, along with others, to keep the old Blyth fall fair going. We pushed to development of parkland along the Blyth Creek, a subject that still gets some discussion but so far no action, We had hoped that the citizens of Blyth might try to boost the economy through a development corporation which would put the savings of the people of the community to work building offices and stores and houses here instead of helping boost _ the growth of cities like Toronto and Kitchener through banks and trust companies. We'd hoped people would become more involved in promoting their town as a good place to live, work, shop and do business but we've seen little of that, There are many things left to be done to make this good community a great one. But it's time for someone else to come along with fresh energy and ideas to help take those next steps. We believe that a strong newspaper is important to a community;•that it should be a community leader, a source of letting people in the community tell each other what is going on, and to a certain extent, it must be the conscience of the community. The burden of responsibility of being the only newspaper is heavy indeed, 1t is the weight of that responsibility that we're perhaps most looking forward to shedding after six years, No matter how many hours a day, how many days a; week you work, you know that you could always do more to improve the paper, and thus improve life in the community. A newspaper is a business in that It must earn its own way, but it's something of a public service as well. You can't just close up shop and go home and relax, One ear is always cocked for the fire siren, another listening to the radio to keep up with the latest news items that may have been missed to read and listen to keep up on the latest developments that might, be important to the people of your community. That kind of burden can be hard on the nerves, the. ulcers and the family. You can keep it up for only so long and then must either learn to go home and leave the job behind, or get out. That's one of the reasons we've decided to move on and let someone else have the job. Another is the need for new challenges. It's been 10 years since we first worked on a weekly newspaper. That's 10 years of facing the pressures of deadlines, 10 years of doing all the many boring little jobs that are involved in putting out a newspaper, and 10 years of putting private life last. It's time now to try something else, to put the talents one is given to use in a new,.area. We hope to be working not only on our magazines Village Squire and Rural Voice, but also on more creative writing, plays and short stories and such. We hope to be able to fight the old battles in different, perhaps more effective ways. But don't think you're getting rid of this weekly piece of nonsense so easily. This column will continue to appear(though rest assured in a more brief effort than this). So see you next week. And thank you all who have made it six happy years for the Roulston family.

Parents are welcome to conte, BY BILL SMILEY This week, 1 am perplexed by several questions, and I turn for possible answers to the only people in the world 1 can trust for honest answers: my faithful readers, all four of them. For example. By what editorial inanity does the Globe and Mail, which grandly calls itself Canad- a's National Newspaper, run on its front page a five -column by eight inches photo of Pierre Trudeau getting his hair cut? What is the symbolism, the . hidden meaning, the secret code, the deep, interpretive analysis, behind this picture? Can anyone help? Is Mr, Trudeau symbolically trimming his sails for a fall election? Is it to show that the P.M. is mortal, after all, and that his hair grows, like that of us lesser beings? Perhaps it's a secret warning to Margaret that, despite talk of a reconciliation, he's not going to let his hair grow and become a flower child. 1 dunno, but it sure has me baffled. Next question. Where do things get lost to? It seems to me that my wife and 1 have spent more • time this past summer looking for things than we have sleeping. Looking for things. that were "Right there, right on that counter yesterday." Looking for things is one of the most frustrating, irritating pas- times in this materialistic society of ours. It has brought many a marriage to the teetering point, and if the union was already teetering,,. pushed it over the brink. A couple of weeks ago, she lost the keys to the car. After a 12 -hour non-stop search, no keys. Oh, we had keys for the other car, the battered old Dodge, Only one catch. It was in the garage, and the keyless car was sitting right behind it, immovable. • Twenty-four hours later, I called a lock -picking specialist. He was out of town, but would call me when he got back. Just before he did, and I had to fork out eleventy-seven dollars, the old lady found the keys, without looking. They were in the vegetable bin, with a turnip, a butternut squash, and a bag of cookine. onion;. It was certainly the logical place for them. Then my new black $10 belt went missing. It was the first belt I'd bought for 12 years, and I was rather proud of it. l knew it wasn't really lost, because 1 always hang it up with my ties. It was obvious that my wife, in her eternal tidying, had stuck it away somewhere, as she so often does with things that I then cannot find. But she swore, as she always does, that she hadn't touched it, mentioning in passing that she was sick and tired of looking for things that I had lost. Naturally, words followed, in which the phrase "car keys" inadvertently popped out several times. But the mystery of the missing belt was readily solved when 1 decided to wear my new, blue, fit•like-a•glove summer trousers. 1 couldn't find them. High or low. Then with a flash of intuition, 1 knew where my belt was. It was with the pants, because 1 never unbelt, just hang the whole works on a hook. It was quite a relief to know where my belt was. It was equally reassuring to know that the pants were with the belt. But it was slightly dampening to admit that both were lost. They still haven't turned up. There are only two -possibilit- ies. One is that a pantless burglar crept into our bedroom,, snatched my trews and crept off THE BLYTH STANDARD/SRTEMBER 28, 1977. PG. S. Billponders perplexing questions into the night, once more modestly attired. The second 1 don't even like to dwell on. The last time 1 had worn those pants, that belt, was to a party. It wasn't a strip poker party, but it was a fairly lively one. Did 1 do a strip tease and forget to redress my little pecadillo? Did I tear them off on the way home from the party and throw them out the car window? Sounds silly, but the other morning 1 went out to get the morning paper, and there on my back walk was a pair of brand-new blue shoes, with thick white rubber soles, in a shoe -box, with only the lid missing, Only the Lord knows who, for what . mad reason, in what temporary mental abbera- tion, flang them there. But they are just my size and finders keepers. And this whole probe brings up the Case of the Missing Socks. What in the name of all that is unholy becomes of socks when they are put through the washer and dryer? They never go missing in pairs, always singles. I'll bet I have nine single socks in my drawer, all different colors or knits. I've gone down with a flashlight and peered, a bit shaken, into the interiors of those' machines, No socks. They can't go down the drain, or it would be plugged. Do they .do a reverse Santa Claus and go up the spout of the dryer with the hot air? It's a little frightening, as though someone were trying to tell me something. About my feet? Someone with a feet fetish? Just one more question. Where were all the editorial writers who are now screaming about the stupidity of changing highway signs to kilometers instead of miles, when I was lambasting the whole metric -Celsius nonsense almost a year ago? All I can do is ask. Remember, only Nutt can prevent li>'rest tires.

Within an hour of Joinging the staff, one social worker was working with a family. Centre helps youth Continued from pg. 3. thus we have a fairly - even distribution of people using its' services from across the county." BROAD EXPERIENCE The director talks about the centre and its' work in a relaxed manner. The longist, dark hair, with a dash of grey at the temples give him an easy-going appear- ance. He is also a man who knows his business. Mr, Keillor was director of a learning centre for the Etobicohe Board of Education, operated for children with learning disabilities as well as those who were emotionally disturbed. He was also a professor at York Univer- sity, Toronto, for three years, teaching as a member of the faculty of education and before that principal of an elementary school. His interest is in special education skills. • Explanations of the problems outlined at the beginning of this story are given by Mr. Keillor, Johnny, has a problem because his family finds it difficult to cope with his slgw learning. Johnny, in turn, is disturbed by his own shortcomings and reacts in a rebellious .manner and may eventually become withdrawn. A social worker at the centre helps. through sessions with the family, to make Johnny's parents realize their son needs extra support and love. As soon as Johnny realizes he is accepted by his family, no matter what his inability, he will probably be motivated to do his best. • Mrs. Jones may need help in disciplining her daughter. Jane Harris, a member of the staff at the centre, has had special training with children, As the only child 'care worker at the centre her responsibilities lie mainly with the problems of children, while the other social workers deal with the adults. Miss Harris teaches parents, methods of disciplining their children and stresses that consis- tency is a major factor. • DISLIKE CHANGE Bill, the 17 -year-old, has an age-old problem. Every adoles- cent goes through a difficult period in life when body and mind are changing, Most people don't like to see changes in others, the director explains. It upsets the normal pattern of life. The centre helps the teenager's family to accept the youth's instinct for independence. If he is really determined to leave home it is preferable that he lea3e on good terms .with the family. Often, however, says Mr. Keillor, the youth wouldn't go if he really had an opportunity. Hg is just testing himself and his family: "We like working with young people in this area, and encourage parents to understand • their children's natural instinct for independence." As children are given increas- ing responsibility they learn to appreciate independence, as to their parents. The whole objective of parenthood should be to develop independent, well -ad- justed adults: "We help families deal with ' problems," says the director, "we don't soNeproblemst Our contribution is to get families together to talk." There is a big room at the centre which contains toys for the children as well as a two-way mirror, through which Mr. Keillor can observe behaviour from his office. Families often meet in this room, particularly the larger families. Telly know that someone is watching from behind the mirror and that the session is being taped. Sometimes as many as three social workers are talking with the family. "Family dynamics are so complex," says Mr. Keillor. "The tape helps if we have missed something that was. said, something that is the key to the problem. We play the tape back .to the family as well, so they can understand the problem." TOYS HAVE PURPOSE Even the toys have a meaning- ful purpose. There arc puppets and a small stage where real life drama may be portrayed by a reticent child. The child may well be hesitant to tell a social worker the exact nature of the problem. For instance, he or she may enact a male and female puppet arguing, as the parents of the child do at home. After investiga- tion it may be discovered that the child is frightened by family arguments,. perhaps believing himself to be the cause of unhappiness. Other social workers at the centre, in addition to Miss Harris, include Philip Warren, Archie Andrew and Shirley. Hackman, The latter holds a master's degree in sociology and worked in children's mental health centres previously. Mr, Andrew also holds a master's degree and has worked with the John Howard Society, for criminal offenders who need assistance in adjusting to society. He has also worked for the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Research Foundation in Toronto. (There have been no major drug problems at the Huron centre yet, but alcohol has been evident as a relating factor in several instan- ces.) Mr. Andrew was trained at King's College, London, and specializes in play therapy for children, such as the puppet theatre. Another important staff memb- er is Marianne McCaffrey, who answers the phone and is the first contact with a troubled child, youth or family. Mr. Keillor says she is an excellent choice for the job, with her warm and under- standing manner Which comes through on the telephone. Mrs.. McCaffrey says she usually makes appointments as soon as possible, but if the person calling is extremely agitated she puts the call through to a staff member immediately. She has had . teachers call her after upsetting experiences with child- ren about ,whom they are concerned. There is a good liaison between the schools, the parents and the centre when a problem is being handled. There is no long wait for an appointment as yet. Mr. Keillor says the capabilities of the centre are growing at a steady rate with the need. When the last social worker joined the staff at 9 a,m, she was working with a family an an hour later, At present, a 24-hour service is available in all cases of emergency, Miss Harris says that appoint- ments can be arranged, even though parents cannot come during the day. Arrangements can be made to accommodate those who work on shift work or who have other special circum- stances, Rarely is it necessary to hospitalize a child; the family can usually provide for the needs with the assistance and guidance of the centre, Mr. Keillor says that some parents fail to realize their children are individuals, with very real sensitivities, likes and dislikes. There is a tendency to lump all "kids" together and consider them all the same, . If a youth conies to the centre along he will not be turned -away, but the staff members will try to involve the family. If under 16, the centre prefers to have the parents' consent at least. There are no fees for services: the centre is a non-profit public service. WILL EXPAND The next development will be - branch offices in the county if there is'an appreciable number of families in need of assistance in the outlying areas. Such an office would, perhaps, be staffed by one person and open one or two days a, week. "We all have vulnerable times in our lives," says Mr. Keillor. The death of a member of the family or a divorce or just the problems of adolescent years are among the factors which can create crises. Miss Harris says that at these times parents are often blinded to the good qualities in their offspring. They see only the bad traits and as a result magnify them unduly. A third, uninvolv- • ed person is needed to put things into perspective. BOARD MEETING The annual meeting of the centre's board of directors is to be held October 5 at 7:30 p.m. at Clinton Public School. At this meeting the board members will officially give up their scats and the new board will be elected or returned. Mr. Keillor feels tha this locally elected board is important. It wouldn't be the same if the centre was run by an. obscure group in Toronto. The centre is open five days a week, with evening appointments as well. It is located at 160 Huron St., Clinton. Those who believe that smaller communities lack the facilities available in the city should consider the foresight of a group of citizens who saw a problem and took immediate action. There are people with adequate credentials who, are . willing to settle in a small town and make good use • of their abilities.

Ps. 118:24. What a marvelous way to start the day realizing it is God's day and proclaiming to be glad in it. All of us could give a personal list of things we can be thankful for, My list would be different from yours. Some things that should be the same are: God's gift of salvation that is free to everyone if they only accept it; the weather • rain, snow, sleet, hail, sunshine; the air we breathe; nature; are own life. There are certain things we aren't always thankful for. Our trials, burdans and temptations often discourage us. We become bitter and a complaining and murmuring people, James tells us. "My brethren count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, for when he is tried, he shall received the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him, Let no man say when he is tempted, 1 am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: "James 1: 2, 3, 12, 13. If we are thankful for these temptations tell God but also tell him you are going to thank him anyway until He brings about a thankful heart within you. Then continue thanking God, trust him, and let him do the work of patience and thanksgiving within you. Rejoice, this is the day which the Lord hath made! ■■ C coo �ttttttttto E nannanarnanl4 No running. No walking. No exercise. No effort, Penalty — a shorter life. No argument. Fitness is fun.

Their likes will never be seen or heard again but the impact they made on the musical world will last forever. In London, England, conductor Leopold Stokowski died at the age of 95 after a career that lasted more than 70 years. His career started in 1912 when he started as conductor with the Philadelphia Orchestra. Though he had been born in England, he came to the U.S. early in the 1900s to work as a church organist. He was Philapdelphia's conductor for 25 years. He left there in 1936 to display his talent throughout the world, even ending up in Hollywood films. Stokowski made music come to life. He .saw in it something that no one else could see and he drew every breath out of each note like soap from a sponge, He never used a baton; his long mobile fingers hypnotized instruments and he was literally able to "coax" the notes from their homes, The great conductor was known for more than his music. His break from tradition caused many unfavorable whispers among the theatre set of the first half of the century. But more than that, his personal life always managed to hit the front pages. Three weddings, one to heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, kept him in the spotlight and relationships with many of the world's most beautiful women made his name a favorite with gossip columnists. For all his popularity. Leopold Stokowski died alone. But per- haps, by his magic hand or otherwise, somewhere a beautiful concerto was playing. And the music he gave life lulled him to sleep. o-o-o•o-o-o-o-o If Stokowski brought., life to instrumental music, there was one Lady who brought life to the operatic stage -and that lady was Maria Callas. Opera singers come and go -but they are just that. She was much more than just an opera singer. She brought drama and excitement to the stage, living each role and wringing every emotion possible from each note. Opera with Callas was not an entertainment; it was an exper ience. Callas, unfortunately was he; own worst enemy. Her tempe tantrums earned her bad publicit; so she became known as thi difficult or fiery temptress insteac of the magnificently talentec woman she was, She began her career in the 40; and in 1951- received her big break in Milan, Italy, where she played "Aida". She won a contract there and later came to the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York City where she and manager Rudolf Bing were constantly at each other's throats about something. She married the man who discovered her and made her a star, a wealthy Italian, but left him soon after she became successful and began a romance with Aristotle Onassis, a relationship which continued until his death in 1975, even though he was married to Jacqueline. Callas had lived quietly the last few years, Onassis' death harder on her than anyone really knew. Last week she suffered a heart attack and was dead at 53. But the world of opera will never be the same. o-o-o-o-o•o•o• Two CBC specials this weekend could be your cup of tea, If you were a fan of Elvis Presley, you may want to watch "Elvis in Concert" Saturday evening at 8. The hour-long production feat- ures Elvis performing in concert from two different locations while he was on tour this past summer. Produced by CBS in the US. this may be the last performances seen before his death last month. On Sunday evening from 8 until 10, CBC celebrates its 25th anniversary with a variety show featuringall the old and new stars - Jliette, Kate Reid, Mich. elle Finney of the old "Razzle Dazzle", Foster Hewitt, Whipper Billy Watson, Joyce Hahn, Shirley Harmer, Toby Robins, the former newscaster from The National and many more. Some old film clips of the early shows will also be seen. Should bring back a lot of memories and renew a lot of old friendships. And on, And on. You've heard your fill of bureaucrat jokes by now. Perhaps •• after all, it's hard to. resist the temptation -- you've made up a few of your own. At the very least, you keep a supply of bureaucratic horror stories on hand to amuse your friends. No one really likes a bureau- crat, For that matter, even the bureaucrats themselves don't like one another. But stop and think for a minute: where would society be without some career civil servants to make the tough decisions? You see, for all its attractive features, democracy has one major flaw: it doesn't work. That is, democracy doesn't work without the civil service. The politicians - who, it says on paper, should be running the country - are more concerned with getting elected and re-elected than with making the tough decisions that will have profound impact on the shape of society a decade or more from now. So the civil servants are left with the thankless job of ensuring that there will be a country held over for the next generation. Consider, for a moment, the politicians' approach to the twin problems of unemployment and inflation. .The politicians want to hand out more subsidies to firms which will buy more machinery and buildings (which incidentally, would tie those firms to more consumption of energy). That's the way these problems have always been solved in the past and that's the way big business and big labour would like to see them solved today. Sure, this sort of policy will blow up in our faces in a few years' time but six or eight months is a long time to a politician. They call this kind of piece- meal approach to planning "band -aiding". And it works • when the problems aren't very serious. But, as the Candian Federation of Independent Busi- ness points out, when the wound is deep, band -aides alone won't do the job; only major surgery can provide a cure. The bureaucrats - who aren't nearly as dumb as their popular THE HURON CENTRE FOR CHILDR.EN AND YOUTH We are pleased to announce the first ANNUAL MEETING of the Board of Directors for the Huron Centre at Clinton Public School on Wednesday, October- 5 7:30 P.M.

This is 15 to 38 pounds in a five-month period, worth up to $17 on today's market.

The following is the report of Mr. St. Jean's which he has given the press: "A retreat is not a military fiasco like the retreat from Moscow by Napoleon but rather it is more aptly seen as the backing up far enough by an athlete to Mrs. Ken in London make a high hurdle. That helps a bit but the main feature is that radio and T.V, do not intrude and direct techniques are used to make it no effort almost for people to say that they hurt. "Five Oaks is for laymen and ministers who are not necessary leaders and when one attends with laymen one does not make the distinction. One should leave the Roman collar at home.

Feelings get whatever is left over, To shine ones shoes is a task; to say please and thank you is recognition of feelings, We go overboard shining our shoes but come out short in the please and thank -you department, In a retreat exper- ience there is an amazing revelation that we really care once there is an openess and honesty about hurt or our poise at a given moment, Hurt and poise comple- ment each other and when one has the poise there is a hurting person who needs us urgently. "While Family Sunday was in program, I found a family where the needs were spelled out pretty straightforward and where I was needed as sunshine --and it was raining there too. Our biggest handicap is that we fear getting too deeply involved but here the initial plunge is taken without that kind of restraint. The big problem is that it has no real follow-up, On home base we never take the initial plunge and we keep up relations through task assigning. We see that all shoes are shiny but hearts are heavy."

DEAR ANN LANDERS: You I castigated the man who wrote in favor of "selective breeding" without understanding what he was talking about. The writer was in favor of eliminating the physically and mentally unfit, the weaklings, cripples, immature, chain smokers, 4 -F's, diseased, noncompetents, etc, You compar- ed him with Adolph Hitler, Actually, Hitler eliminated the strong, the brilliant, the compet- ent, the healthy and the young. They were Germany's best. Don't you read history? Equally Anony- mous. DEAR EEEK: You misunder- stood my response completely. Hitler wanted to wipe out the brilliant Adolph Hitler's concept was that of a Master Race, which according to his psychotic stand- ards was pure Aryan, He considered Jews inferior. The six million Jews who died in Hitler's gas chambers were young and old, sick and well, strong and weak. The one thing they had in common was their Judaism. I thought of this and felt enormously proud when the 1976 Nobel Prize winners were announced, Three of the' seven •were Jewish. • DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm 16 years old, 5.5 and weigh 125 pounds. I like boys and boys like me. When I'm with them, I'm fine until it comes to the kissing part of the evening. I can't kiss a guy in front of other people. I feel funny, like I'm doing something wrong. A bov tried to kiss me the other night and 1 kept on making excuses like, "I don't feel well," or "What's your science class like?" What should 1 do? I need help. Is there something seriously wrong with me, or am I just old -fashioned? --Something Wrong Somewhere DEAR SOMETHING 'WRONG SOMEWHERE: I don't think anything is wrong anywhere. Kissing a boy should be a very private thing. Just keep on with your present mode of operation. It's refresh- ing. Too bad there aren't more like you. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I've nevereseen my "problem" in your column. Maybe it's not important enough to print but I can't help thinking other wives have wond- ered about it, too. My husband is a buyer for a large company. Many salesmen take him to lunch. Occasionally it's a dinner and 1 am included. The dinners are always at a very nice restaurant and the evening is a pleasant outing for me. I know the salesmen don't pay for these dinners out of their own pocket. It's a legitimate expense account write-off, Question: Should 1 thank these men? I mean a personal tele- phone call or a written note. Or is my spoken thanks at the end of the evening enough? I don't want to interfere with my husband's business affairs by appearing too pushy. Yet I'd hate to seem ungrateful. Thanks for your answer. --Enjoy the Treat. DEAR ENJOY: A written note of thanks is always appropriate (and appreciated) when one has been entertained. (A phone call to a business associate of your hus- band would be loo intimate and perhaps misunderstood.) Keep the notes simple and somewhat formal. Can't. hurt. Might help --for "next time." *** There is a big difference between cold and cool, Ann Landers shows you how to play it cool without freezing people out in her booklet, "Teen -Age Sex --Ten Ways to Cool It."

The Lion's Clubs in District A-9 are organizing a Bus Trip to Rochester, Michigan to the Leader Day School. This trip will be on a Sunday in November. The Blyth Lion's are holding a Hallowe'en Dance on Saturday, October 29 at the Blyth and District Community Centre, The dance is open to everyone. ,Tickets are $4.00 per person and are available from members of . the Blyth Lion's Club. Next meeting is Thursday, October 13, 6:45 p.m. at the Blyth Memorial Hall, O.P.P.. Report During the week September 19 - 25, Officers at Wingham Detachment conducted 34 investi- gallons. Nine charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act and 14 warnings were issued, Four charges were laid under the Liquo! Licence Act. Three charg- es were laid under the Criminal Code. During the week, there were eight motor vehicle colli- sions which caused an estimated $2,000. in property damage. There were no injuries. BOOZE KILLS In the past three and a half years, Wingham Detachment Officers have investigated 16 fatal motor vehicle accidents that left 24 people dead. In 11 of these fatais, liquor was involved and the average Breathalyzer or blood test reading was 160 mgs., exactly what the law constitutes as an offence. Blyth Seniors meet The Blyth Swinging Seniors met in Memorial Hall for their September 21 meeting (one week earlier than usual). They opened the meeting by forming a circle and singing, "The more we get together the happier we will be", then sang several old time songs from the songs books led by Mrs, Wightman and accompanied on piano by Mrs. Philp. Members then moved to the card tables for Euchre, Lost Heir and Scrabble, and Shuffle Board was played. A few items of business were discussed with the president, Mrs, Webster, She said all were invited to the' "At Home" at Huronview held , Friday, September -30 at 2 p,m. A delicious lunch was enjoyed Iservcd by Mrs, Russ McDonald's group. ' , financial support from the county of up 25 per cent of provincial approved costs, to a maximum of $150,000. The original hospital which was a house constructed in 1856 will be removed to make way for a new emergency and out-patients facility, The projected cost for the project is $598,000 and the hospital board has expressed confidence the building costs will not exceed that amount. The hospital already has •a fund of between $425,000 and $450,000 for the work, The addition to South Huron Hospital will proceed under Ontario Regulation 61, 1977 which means the province will have no financial share in the building, The South Huron Hospital Board has to make a specific commitment as well, that no additional operating costs will result from the building program. The Social Services committee is expecting to be well over budget by the end of 1977. Due to continued high unemployment and increased rates in most areas of the social services department, the financial report for the period ending July 31, 1977 shows expenditure of $230,320,85 or about $10,000 over budget, "It is expected this trend will continue for the balance of 1977," said Chairman J.R. Hunking. The administrator of Huron - view was authorized to participate in an Outreach Program, operat- ed by the Huron Committee for the Home Bound to provide day care. for the elderly, The program will be financed by the Province of Ontario for a two-year period. The Huronview van will be used as required, and meals will be provided at a reasonable cost. All costs will be recovered from the Outreach group. About 300 in Huron County could be potential users of this ,service, according to Mrs. Betty Cardno of Seaforth, a member of the committee. Huron County Pioneer Mus- eum will receive a gift from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 109, Goderich, That gift will be the Sherman Tank 78901 present- ly located at the Goderich airport. The tank and a Lancaster bomber made up a Legion display at the Goderich airport, and at one time were open to free inspection by visitors, However, it became increasingly difficult to protect the display from vandals and this year the bomber was sold and removed from the area, • The Huron County property committee will work with the Goderich Legion members to incorporate their suggestions into the new museum exhibit and a plaque will be unvieled next year. In other business, council agreed to file no objections to a proposal to designate the former Huron County Jail and the jail residence as a heritage building under the Ontario Heritage Act. Such designation, the councillors learned, was vital to ensuring the jail's preservation for the future. It's the Show you've been waiting for!

Soft organ music by Miss Alison Roberts, organist created an atmosphere for worship. The Junior Choir chose as their anthem "I'd Like 'to Teach the World to Sing.", The Senior choir members sang "0 Give Thanks". Rev. Le Drew based his remarks on the .Scripture verse Acts 10 Verse 8 "But ye shall receive power and 'ye shall be witnesses units me" as command given to the disciples after Jesus' resurrection, which were march- ing orders then and now. A witness has a duty and a privilege There are three ways to witness. What we say Just as a witness in the court of justice must have first hand information, which has a direct bearing on the outcome of the case, so in the case of the Church of Christ. We must give a first hand message of the living 'Christ to an uncaring world. As witnesses we must say "1 believe". 2, What We Do, The world will sec Christ in us, We must be careful of the impressions we make on others. Practise what we preach. 3, Who or What We are; This is the most important aspect of all. The illustration of a lady who was an invalid, blind and paralxed following a car accident, was given. She stated that she would wijlingly share, other's pain because she had learned to cope with pain. What a witness? What a message! .lesus tells us to witness anywhere, everywhere in Jerusalem, in Samaria. Leave no spot untouched by love and blessing. Witness on our Anni- versary. Familiar hymns were sung. The Junior Choir sang a benediction to close the service.

Bill , Ailey BY BILL SMILEY Friends of mine in all walks of life can't understand how I can stand teaching as a vocation. With strikinii originality, they ask: "How can you stand it?" So, with another 10 months of my chosen way of life under way, 1 thought I'd look at it, and try to give them an answer. Perhaps we could start with elimination. It would take an act of God, or a• change of sex, or something equally dramatic, to make me an engineer, I have just completed the job of trying to change a typewriter ribbon. It took me 39 minutes, 1 wound up with ink all over my fingers, my face, and a clean shirt. And guess what came out when 1 began typing? Red words. It was one of those half -red, half -black ribbons, and I'd got it upside bassack• wards. The only reason you are reading this in black is that it is being reproduced by someone else. My lack of engineering skills precludes my making a fat living where the real money is these days: as a repair pian. If you have . a son or daughter pondering a career, for the dear goodness' sake, steer it into fixing things • plumbing, electricity, TV, cars. Took my lawnmower to a repairman the other day. It wouldn't start. Picked it up three days later. The bill was $41.16• one dollar and 16 cents more than half what I had paid for the new machine a few years ago. The bill for labor was $27. You could have a baby for that not so terribly long ago. I've never wanted to be a scientist. Can't see spending my life in a lab trying to find a new additive that will make clothes whiter than white or a new chemical that will make deodor- ant dryer than ever. Medicine, since I have never had a secret desire to be God, held little appeal for me. It's a noble profession, and you can make a pile of money by peering into people's apertures, probing their flab, making their blood spurt, and writing prescriptions among other things. None o those things turn me on, though. Dentistry, ditto. I can see n particular charm in standing at an angle most acrobats couldn' maintain for 10 seconds, gawking at gums and crumbling renova- tions. One look into my own mouth would give me nightmares for a week. To heck with the $50,000 a year. Then there's the law, of cuursc. Blyth students get commencement awards Several Blyth area students were given awards at the commencement exercises of Cen- tral Huron Secondary School in Clinton Friday night. Karen Durnin of Londesboro won the Bartliff Bakery Award for proficiency in Year 1 while Betty Konarski of Blyth took the Fairholme Dairy Award for proficiency in Year 2. Miss Konarski also shared the Norman and Verna Carter Memorial Award in Science with David Gross, and won the I.O.D.E. Award in Geography. Philip Street won the Clinton News -Record award for Year 4 English. Milk Hoba won one of six W.D. Fair Scholarships for general proficiency from the Year 5 program. Madelyn Sewers of Londesboro won the E. B. Menzies Award in History for Year 4. Brian Bromley from Blyth won Smiley explains why he teaches There's a great deal of poppycock about the majesty and the integrity of the law. All of it stems from lawyers and judges. But I wouldn't care to be associated in a profession where there is, despite all disclaimers, one law for the rich and another for the poor. Shakespeare said it nicely: "Let them hang all the lawyers." Another field that brings in a mighty good buck is accounting. But where's the future in that for a fellow who can't even account to his own wife for the way he behaved at the party on Saturday night? Quite a good career these days is "working for the government." Certainly you'll never be fired, unless you turn up drunk four days in a row and rape four different secretaries. Even then, you'd probably just be "transfer- red to a less sensitive arca," or put out to pasture on a pension. When 1 was a student, we used to say scornfully that if you couldn't do anything else, you went into the ministry. This was a base canard, of course, but the delights of the parsonage never really got me excited. 1 wouldn't have minded pounding the old pulpit a bit, but 1 couldn't have stood the old biddies and the back•stabbcrs and the constant mendicanting. What I thought 1 might be was a professor of English. Sit around ilk a book -filled study, dispense wisdom to awed students, and give the occasional brilliant lecture. Well I've since met some of my old friends who chose that path. They're more boring than the guy who comes to fix my furnace. What I really and truly wanted lo do when I was young and romantic was to become a foreign correspondent. influenced by movies, I wanted the works: trench coat snap brim felt hat, bylines from Hong Kong and Nairobi.

Long before it was morn, We all heard the siren horn. Then in a short time again it rang, -Then on our door, there was a bang, We all knew it was our guide Deanne, Get on the bus as quick as you can. We all got out right quick There at the bus was our good driver, Rick, When we got going down the road They told us a gas tank did explode They were frightened that fumes Would get into our rooms They told us before it was too late. The whole villag ehad to evacuate. We drove for our or five miles Then we sat there quite awhile It was nearly two hours and a half No one even dared to laugh Then Dianne came in and said I have found you all another bed, But we have to drive quite a ghile I do not know how many miles. When we got there din We landed at a Holiday Inn, We went to bed it was nearly seven, Up and away again about eleven. We went and picked up our guide He explained all things on our ride He told us about the Curl War And what some of the things were for With that day pretty will spent Back to our motel we went Next morning we started again, There was just a little rain, I don't think it did us any harm, To see how the Amish people farm They fed us all, it was real good MADILL'S 29TH It was all the Amish food. Next day we went to Hershey town, Saw the chocolates go up and down Tho_came out wrapped in a band But none of it was done by .hand We went over to the Hershey school The man that built it was no fool It was such an enormous size Standing there before our eyhes. The Corning;Glass was the last to see It puzzled us all (even me), To tell who all was on the tour 1 can not do it, I am sure But somehow, 1 still hay.: a hunch You all were a nice friendly bunch So now as we travel down the years Our eyes will fill with joyful tears Thinking of all the fun we had It was all good, nothing bad So now as all the writers say, Thanks very much, "Have a good day."
