The Blyth Standard, 1977-10-05, Page 1Blyth has
lots of spirit
(By Debbie Ranney)
For a small community of about
850 people, Blyth has proven that
it's got the thing that it takes to
keep a community of this size
going.
That thing is "community
spirit" • a real sense of
community involvement in what
is happening to the village and
actively taking a part in what is
happening.
A lot of Blyth's sense of
involvement comes from its
various clubs and organizations.
One such organization is the
Orange Lodge which was formed
in 1858 and has become involved
in a home at Richmond Hill that
looks after boys out of broken
homes and they also have a home
for the aged in Orillia that they
own and operate.
Another organization with a
sense of communityinvolvement is
the Blyth Legion which began in
1946. For their work in the
community they co-sponsor minor
sports with the Lion's Club as
well as looking after the
decoration day services at the
Blyth Union Cemetery. Their
main concerns though are with
senior citizens and welfare work.
`The Ladies Auxiliary of the
Legion is not lacking in
community spirit either, getting
together to make their own money
for welfare work by catering to
different organizations. They also
visit a veteran in Westminster
Hospital, visit the hospital once or
twice a year and take treats to the
veterans at the hospital.
W.I.
theatre as well as the other
activities that go on there.
But, besides helping in Blyth,
the Women's Institute has, also
been active in other areas. They
worked with the Red Cross in the
First and Second World Wars
sending war parcels and were
also involved with the women's
exhibits at the old Blyth Fall Fair.
In 1950, they began sponsoring
4-H Homemaking clubs for young
girls and short courses for adults
and have continued to do so.
The Eastern Star Lodge gives
Blyth women a chance to get
involved in helping with charity.
Started in 1953, the Blyth Order
of the Eastern Star has made
contributions to the Florence
Nightingale Home at Agincourt,
the Canadian Cancer Society, the

accepts low bus price
taken off the road last year. The
board accepted a
recommendation from the budget
committee that the two buses be
sold as is where is along with
three other buses replaced this
year. The board balked at the
prices offered for the buses
earlier but now decided the
vehicles aren't worth much more
than what was offered and
decided to sell.
The five buses were put up for
sale by tender at the end of the
last school term and the tenders
were opened and presented to the
board at its September meeting.
Prices offered for three of the
buses were considered fair but
two others seemed low to the
board and the matter was turned
over to the budget committee to
try to negotiate a better price.
Budget committee chairman
R.J.Elliott of Blyth told the board
that the five prices for the buses
were $1,050, $925, $505, $250 and
5100.
Wingham trustee Jack
Alexander asked why the
committee was recommending
that the low prices be accepted.
He said he understood that the
board wanted to try for a higher
price adding that $100 wasn't
very much money. He said the
board may be better to keep the
bus since $100 wouldn't buy a
window for a bus and the board
may be able to use the vehicle for
spare parts.
Elliott said that the bus had
already been stripped of most
valuable parts and was being sold
as is. H e said he understood that
one bus lacked an engine and
another was almost completely
stripped.
Colborne trustee Shirley Hazlitt
said she didn't know if the idea
would work but suggested that the
board keep the bus to be used at
the board display at the plowing
match to be held in Huron
County. She said she didn't know
anything about what was planned
for the match but was merely
asking to see if consideration had
been given to it.

We have a responsibility
On assuming publication of the Blyth
Standard, we are aware of the long years,
extending nearly a century, during which the
Standard has served the Blyth Community.
We realize our responsibility to ensure that
this tradition of service built up through so
many years not only be continued but at every
opportunity expanded.
We are happy that we will continue to enjoy
the association of the former publisher Keith
Roulston through the popular column
"Behind the Scenes" which he has agreed to
contribute each week. Through his column he
will be able to continue to advance the
interests of and comment on the activities of
the Blyth area as he has done so effectively
during the nearly seven years in which he and
his wife Jill were publishers of the Standard.
As editor of the Standard Rhea Hamilton
and those associated with her will endeavour
to fully record the activities of the community.
As a native of Goderich and a resident of
RR.3, Auburn with roots deep in this area
Rhea Hamilton already is familiar with the
community and looks forward to meeting and
co-operating with its people.
The pages of the Blyth Standard will be
available at all times to tdvance the interests
of the village and the community it serves.
We invite the co-operation and support of
readers and advertisers alike so that the
Standard may continue to chronicle the
happenings of the community and also to
reflect its hopes and aspirations. To this end
we invite those interested to use the columns
of the Standard as frequently as desired to
discuss matters of concern to the community;
we invite the churches, the organizations, the
sports groups to forward regularly details of
their activities and we invite you our readers
to tell us of your activities - the visits, the
weddings and the anniversaries. With this
co-operation there is assurance that the
Standard will continue to make a worthwhile
contribution to the community it serves.

Editor and Advertising
It's your paper
The editor is new. But the Blyth Standard isn't.
Your newspaper has been a vital part of the village
and surrounding community for more than 80 years.
We intend to keep it that way. But to make the
Standard vital to everyone of its readers we need
your help. And if the welcome that has been
extended to the new editor in the last week is any
indication, our' readers are willing to help us make
the Standard the best possible newspaper this village
can produce.
We're glad to be here. We'II be out on the street,
covering news and picking up advertising and we
hope we'll meet a lot of you. Please feel free to come
into the Standard office, meet the new editor and talk
over any suggestions you have for the improving our
coverage of Blyth and area.
We at the Standard believe that a strong
community newspaper is crucial to a strong village
and surrounding rural area.
Some may argue the value of a weekly paper when
reading the "who visits who" columns but we
believe personal news is important.
Your paper covers village and county issues in
detail giving you the readers a complete view of what
is going on in your local governments.
The Standard carries meeting reports of
community minded clubs and volunteer organiza-
tions.
For an entertaining night on the town the best
place to find out where you want to go is the
entertainment page of the Standard. There you find
dances, receptions, theatre listings and even who's
playing at the local hotel.
And that's not all!
The Standard covers church and school news,
sports news, area correspondent's news. You name
it; we try to give it to you.
But there is a catch. The office staff of The Bly th
Standard is only three strong and there are
II mitations on how much territory we can cover
ourselves.
When you see something that interests you and is
of interest to others, that's news - please remember
us. We are as near as your telephone. If you have a
correspondent in your area contact her.
The Blyth Standard is for Blyth and area residents.
This is your paper. When used to its fullest potential
It can benefit you.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Our first editjon is hot off the press and in your
hands.
What do you think? Write us at the Standard or
give us a call at 523-9646.
And through it all, they worried
about low prices for most field
crops. H ardly a year, many will
grumble, to feel very thankful.
But it's y ears like this one that
point out most what a miracle the
annual production of food is. We
tend to take the cycle of nature, of
p lanting, growth, ripening and
harvest for granted when we have
year of .ter year of bumper
harvests, Only when the cycle
gets messed up do we realize just
how miraculous all those good
crops were,
I think living with this
knowledge is what makes rural
people different than city people.
I've lived in both environments
and it's hard to beli eve how
much they can effect you.
When I first went off to
university from my home in a
small village, I found myself in a
downtown Toronto environment.
At first it was exciting, only two
blocks away from the gaudy
Yonge Street st rip, which was not
the "Sin Strip" in those days, but
seemed delightfully sinful to
those pf us who were used to
quiet smalltown life.
It wasn't long, however,
before the novelty wore off.
Instead of the glitter, litter manyof us
g
began to see instead the
bleakness of the city. We began
to long for open space and found
our solace only in the vast,
concrete grayness of city hall
square. We were starved for the
greeness of a pasture field, for
the sight of a tree that was more
than a few feet tall.
But as important was the
difference in attitude of city
people. Nature was something to
be controlled and manipulated in
the city. City fathers bragged
about the growing network of
walkways and
walk
underground
shopping concourses where y ou
could walk for miles without
seeing the light of day or, horrors,
getting you] feet wet in rain or
snow. You went from an
airconditioned apartment
building to an aircondidtioned
subway train to an airconditioned
office building and probably took
time out to shop in aclimate
controlled mall sometime during
the day.
You could see it in the way
people dress, where city people
try to wear summer-like clothes
all y ear round and suffered wet
feet or frozen knee caps rather'
than suffer the indignity of having
to wear winter boots or pantsuits
instead of dresses.
You could see it in the way
people talked and wrote. Look at
the books and poetry of city
writers andou'Il see theyseldom
Y
deal with the rythms of nature the
way writers of the past did, or for
that matter, the way rural -based
writers of today do. They don't
have that sense of being part of
the natural cycle of doing things.
There's a sense of alienation from
nature, or a feeling that nature
doesn't matter at all. Seldom is
there a relilgious appreciation in
the work of modern city writers.
It may be possible, but I think
it's a lot harder, to be an atheist
living in a rural environment than
it is in the city. It's pretty hard to
get that feeling of human
superiority t
hat citypeople getat
being able to control nature when
you know at any time in the
country that nature, might lower
the boom on you with a
tremendous snowstorm, or y our
crops might get wiped out by
monsoon -like rains or drought
might make the well run dry. You
soon realize what a thin line there
is between "civilization" and
anarchy.
So we'll be celebrating
Thanksgiving around our house
this week even though the back
roof is still leaking because it
hasn't stopped raining long
enough for us to be able to fix it,
and even though the tomato crop
we tended so carefully from seed
has mostly gone to rot in the wet
weather. Our losses have been
miniscule beside those of our
neighbours who have watched
thousands of dollars of crops rot
in the field but I think even they,
living as they do with the way of
nature, will be thankful, if not for
this harvest, for past and future
ones.

Autumn - Apple pressing time
THE FIRST STEP — Once the apples have been
picked, they are dropped into a type of food grinder.
;,. This clbps the apples into fine pieces which makes it
easiertto get all the possible juice out of them,
(Standard Photo)
A BED OF MASH — The chopped apples fall into a framework that is lined with a
nylon sacking to screenout pulp that may escape with the juice. The tray is pushed
along under the press which is hydraulically run. (Standard Photo)
The press is lowered and out of a series of holes, the juices run clear and sweet
from the pulp. The drain is always watched in order that the juice is not allowed
to overflow the tray and be wasted. The finished product is ready now to
drink, use in cooking or making wine.
A GOOD SETUP — Carl Seeger of R.R. 3, Auburn,
has set himself up in a vanishing business - custom
apple pressing. Ontario's fall apple harvest is ready
now for pressing. Shown here is his hydraulic press
which will squeeze a bushel and a half of apples at
one time. (Standard Photo)

EDITOR'S NOTE:Learning
disability. That's a term that
parents of school age children
hear increasingly. At a recent
meeting of the Junior Women's
Institute of Ontario members
heard a speaker on the topic.
What follows is a report of his
remarks, taken from the Spring
1977 issue of Home and Country.
Learning Disabilites
Dr. Griffith Morgan, University
of Guelph spoke about common
cause of learning disabilities in
children.
The first three years of life are
the most important in
determining a child's learning
abilities. Growth and
development begin at conception,
making prenatal life, or the
"hidden" year of life, extremely
important. There are many
factors during prenatal life that
' affects the development of the
feturs, stress on mother, disease
in the mother, age of the mother,
nutrition and smoking habits of
the mother. Glood and genetic
factos should also be considered.
Genetic counselling can often
avert later problems. The birth of
the child has a great deal to do
with the future health of the child.
A difficult birth such as a breach
can cause stiffling and lack of
oxygen resulting in brain
damage.
Parents must ask questions"
At birth an infant's brain is one

8—THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 5, 1977
Big isn't good
Some people, like me, believe in rolling
with the punches, rather than sticking out
our chins to show how many we can
absorb, I have found that, in general, if I
avoid trouble, trouble avoids me.
If I know that some pain in the arm has
been trying to get me on the phone, I also
know immediately that he or she wants me
to do something that 1 don't want to do.
Therefore, I take the phone off the hook
and leave it off until the pain has found
some other sucker. I
Another invention of mine to stay out of
trouble is patented as Ncga-Prod: This is
short for Negative P roduction. The theory
is simple. The more you produce, the more
problems you have, whether it is children,
manufactured goods or farm products,
The more children you haves, the more
emotional and economic problems you
create for yourself. The morel goods you
produce, the more you have to hustel to
find customers and meet payrolls. The
more farm stuff y ou raise, whether it's
beef or beans, the greater your chance of
being caught in a glut on the market.
Our great national railways caught on to
this years ago. When they had lots of
passengers, they had lots of problems.
People wanted comfort, cleanliness, decent
meals, and some assurance that they would
get where they were going on time. There
was much more money to be made, and
fewer problems, by transporting wheat and
lumber and ca ttle.
So the railways began treating people
like cattle. Passenger trains became
uncomfortable and dirty. Quality of the
food dropped like a stone. And they never
arrived on time.
Presto. End of problems. No more
passengers. So the railways were able to
cut off non-payng passenger lines, get rid
of all those superfluous things like station
agents and telegraphers and train
conductors, and concentrate on taking from
one point to another things that paid their
way and didn't talk back: newsprint, coal,
oil, wheat.
Perhaps this is the answer for our
provincial governments, which arc quickly
and quietly building massive mountains of
debt for future taxpayers.
Perhaps they should just stop building
highways, and repairing those already in
existence. We'd all be sore as hell for a
while, but as the roads got worse and
worse, most of us would stop driving our
cars. The governments would save millions
of dollars now spent on higiihvays, and they
could fire two-thirds of the highway cops.
I don't quite see how the governments
•
could use Nega-Prod to get out of the liquor
business, which certainly produces plenty
of problems. The booze trade is so
profitable that asking government to
abandon it would be like. asking a
millionaire to forsake his country estate for
a run-down farm.
Perhaps if they had a Free Booze Day,
once a week, every week, say on a
Saturday, it would solve a number of
problems. It would certainly reduce the
surpluus population, This , in turn, would
cut down, drastically, the unemployment
figures.
Should the provincial governments find
that Ncga-Prod is all I've suggested, some
. of it might spill over into the federal
government, usually the last to catch on to
what tre country really needs.
Instead of the manna and honey flowing
from Ottawa in the form of baby bonuses
and pensions, we might get some terse
manifestos:
"People who have more than one and a
half children will be sent to jail for four
years. Note: separate jails".
"Persons who p Ian to live past 65 and
claim a pension will be subject to an open
season each year, from October 1 to
Thanksgiving Day. Shotguns and bicycle
chains only,"
"All veterans of all wars may claim
participation by reason of insanity, and
may apply to Ottawa for immediate
euthenisation,"
These might seem slightly Draconian
measures, but they sure would put an end
toa lot of our problems and troubles. Think
of what they would do for such sinful
activities as sex, growing old, and hanging
around the Legion Hall, playing checkers.
But we must also think of the economic
benefits. With a plug put into that river of
paper money flowing from Ottawa, taxes
would drop, inflation would vanish and
undoubtedly, separatism would wither on
the vine. People would be lined up six deep
at the U,S.Border, trying to get across, and
that; would solve, in one swell foop, our
unemployment difficulties.
We could go back to being hewers of
water and carriers of wood, which was our
manifest destiny before the politicians got
into thca ct. Fishermen or lumberjacks, in
short, which most of the rest of the world
thinks we are anyway.
Nega-Prod may seem a bit lofty and
abstracta t first glance, but it works. I know
from personal experience. Every time I try
to make something, or fix something, it
costs nie a lot of money, and I get into a lot
of trouble.
So, 1 have a policy of never trying to fix
something or make something. It's a lot
less trouble to put up signs: "Beware of
falling bricks; Not responsible for slivers
from picnic table." And so on.

New director
speaks to WI
Miss Molly McGhee, Director
of Home Economics Branch,
Ministry of Agriculture and Food,
Toronto, was guest speaker at the
London Area Convention of the
Women's Institute held at the
Sandpiper Inn, Vanastra, on
Wednesday and Thursday,
September 28 and 29.
As a comparative newcomer to
Women's Institute work, she has
assessed the current situation
with an unbiased eye and was
impressed by it's diversity. She
urged members to mount an
active recruitment campaign to
bolster their dwindling numbers.
Women's Institute services are
needed more than ever but many
rural residents know nothing
about the organization or its
goals, she said. When it was
founded 80 years ago, child-
rearing and health standards,
hygiene and nutrition were its
priorities. These still are, but
from a different outlook. Single
parent families, communal
families, working mothers,
alcohol and drugs are the
organizations concern now. Many
people who live in the country
work in the 'cities nowadays
bringing rural and urban
communities together more.
Miss McGhee termed
Women's Institute a unique
organization because of its wide-
spread use of volunteers to
distribute information through
4-H courses and seminars for
members (Senior Training
Schools). Each individual of today
must act as an agent of change,
she said.
Changes are forecast in the
outlined courses. Energy, conser-
vation, freezing, canning, and
pickling, and budget courses in
home decorating are being
introduced all with the emphasis
on energy conservation. There
will be changes in 4•H too, to
accommodate cuts in staff and
budget, she added.
The - afternoon speaker was -
Miss Elaine Townshend, Clinton,
who outlined the aims and
objectives of ALPHA. Committee
reports were given in the form of
a T.V.Broadcast and the Home
Economists spoke on energy
appliances, their consumption
and ways of conserving energy
while using them.
At the evening banquet, Jack
Riddell, M.P.P. was the guest
speaker. never forget that the
Women's Institute was important
before the days of womcns
liberation, he said. Women like
Ellen Fairclough, Charlotte
Whitton and Judy LaMarsh are
famous. International Women's
Year was disappointing and has
done nothing to bridge the
income gap between the sexes.
Dwelling on National Unity, he
stressed that our country extends
from sea to sea, but to become
one nation from sea to sea is still a
dream. The people of Canada are
our greatest resource,
cosmopolitan in outlook with
unlimited opportunities for work
and leisure:

Caring
As well as giving to charitable
organizations, community spirit
also involves a sense of caring
about how your community
appears to other people and the
things you have done within that
community to help make a good
impression, And the Blyth people
haven't fallen down on that score
either,
The Horticultural Society has
been beautifying the village since
1922. They planted the flowers at
the Horticultural Park on Dinsley
Street, put in flower beds at the
north and south ends of town and
landscaped the new community
centre, They were also
responsible for putting a cairn in
the park on Dinsley Street in
memory of the early pioneers.
Reunion
And as for a major tourist
attraction, Blyth even has one of
those in the form of the
Thresher's Reunion which has
people coming from far and wide
to examine old model steam.
engines, drag saws, shingle mills,
hand fed separators, hay presses
and much more, And even the
women and children aren't bored
here because the Reunion also
has parades, bake sales, crafts
and entertainment,
Nothing To Do?
The usual complaint heard in a
village the size of Blyth is that the
young people have nothing to do,
But if the. young people of Blyth
want to prove that they have the
same sense of community
involvement as their peers, there
is at least one solution to the
problem. They could join the Leo
Club, an offspring of, the Lions
Club.
The Leo Club which was just
formed in 1976 has already
started making their contribution
to the community raising $1800
for the new arena, holding
walkathons, bake sales and
dances in order to raise money for
the crippled children and they
helped to put monkey bars in the
bon's Park. They also help the
community in other ways. by
raking people's lawns, helping
beautify the town and serving at
banquets,
But, perhaps, one of the
biggest places where Blyth has
proven it can make it on its own
was with the building of the two
spirit
arenas. The first arena was
officially opened in 1951, It was.
through the efforts of members of
the Village Council, representa-
tives of the Lions Club, Legion
and Agricultural Society who had
a meeting with the representa-
tives of a lumber company that
the arena was built at a cost of
$27,000,1
No Auditorium
However, the old arena was not
without its faults as it had no
auditorium and no place for
hockey fans and only two dressing
rooms, but the biggest problem of
all 'was that it used natural ice
which made it difficult when mild
weather came. And so they didn't
use it much except for playing
broomball.
That's when that old
community spirit got going again.
The Lion's Club led the way in
getting artificial ice for the arena
in 1967 through an Agricultural
grant, a Recreational grant and a
Canada Centennial grant along
with about $20,000 or $25,000
which was raised in Blyth and its
surrounding townships. When
the Lion's Club. decided to take
the financial responsibility
citizens of Blyth and the
surrounding communities were
generous with both time and
money.
In spite of all this great effort,
the Blyth arena wasn't built for
1970's building codes, and when
the province condemned arenas,
it was one of those that had to go.
More Efficient
But it was a change for the
better as the new arena has an
auditorium, four dressing rooms
and is basically a much more
efficient building.
And not only that, but Blyth
and its surrounding townships
have shown more interest in this
arena as it is.being used for much
more including broomball,
hockey, public skating, figure
skating, roller skating, sales,
dances and banquets.
Blyth is a unique village in that
it has its own theatre and a
professionalism not expected to
be found in such a small place.
The theatre provides a major
attraction for both the people of
Blyth and outsiders and it's just
one more thing Blyth can be
proud of.
Amazing Effort
This is Blyth's Centennial Year
which naturally meant a celebra-
tion. The amazing thing was the
effort put forth by the Centennial
Committee in making it a fun -

activities and the kind of celebra-

People from outside of Blyth
may think of it as a place to buy
their leather and suede coats. It is
that, but Blyth citizens have
proven it can be more than that
with people donating their time
and money to make sure this
community stays alive and
vibrant. If Blyth people keep
going like they have in the past, it
will stay that way.

Hockey blindness reduced 75%
Eleven amateur hockey players
were medically blinded last year
compared with 42 during the
1974.75 season, according to Dr,
Tom Pashby, a Toronto
ophthalmologist and member of
the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA). 'phis is a
reduction of 75 per cent, while
overall eye injuries decreased by
65 per cent, to 88 from 253
reported cases,
Dr, Pashby attributes the
decrease to the Canadian
Amateur Hockey Association's
(CAHA) stricter rules on high
sticking and the increasing use of
face protectors. He is a member
of CSA's technical committee on
protective equipment for hockey
and lacrosse players, which
recently published a standard on
Guelph offers
agricultural
politics course
Few topics have generated
=re conflict and controversy in
recent years than the formulation
of agricultural policy in Canada
and in the provinces. In responses
to the demonstrated need for a
better understanding of this
subject, the Department of
Political Studies at the University
of Guelph is offering for the first
time this semester a new course,
"The Politics of Agriculture."
The course will focus on the
relationship between farmers,
farm organizations, government,
and the agricultural and food
industry. "The establishment of
such a course atlGuelph was long
overdue," says Prof. R.W. Phidd
who will teach the course. He
feels that the agricultural tradi-
tion at Guelph makes such a
course vital in view of the current
widespread debate on agricul-
tural and food policy at both the
national and provincial levels.
Students enrolled in "The
Politics of Agriculture" will look
at the conflicts involved in the
formulation of agricultural policy.
They will be concerned with the
working of political institutions at
all levels of government. Students
may undertake research in areas
such as the structure and working
of the Canada Department of
Agriculture, the provincial
Ministry of Agriculture and Food,
marketing boards and the inter-
relationship amongst farmers,
farmers' organizations, govern-
ment, consumers and the food
processing industry.
Many of the issues involved in
the formulation of agricultural
policy are related to the changing
nature of the rural and urban
communities in Canada, says
Prof. Phidd. Consequently, the
course will also examine the
politics of Canadian land use and
the ways in which technology has
changed the relationship between
agriculture and land.
The course will cover three
distinct periods of agricultural
policy, beginning with
confederation when such policies
were tied to immigration policy,
especially in western Canada. It
will include the period of
increased government involve-
ment in the post World War 11
period to 1969, and subsequent
developments in policy since the
1969 Federal Task Force in
Agriculture.
Prof. Phidd expects 40 to 50.
students for the lecture course
which will draw guest speakers
from other University depart.
ments, government agencies,
farmers' organizations, consum-
er groups and the food industry.
The guest -lecture technique will
be supplemented as much as
possible with seminar
discussions.
eye and teeth protectors for
hockey forwards and
' defencemen. CSA is now testing
face masks to the standard and
certified protectors should 'begin
to appear on the marketplace this
winter.
The protectors must endure
torture tests at CSA's Rexdale,
Ontario, laboratories before
certification is granted. The
masks will be cooled to a
temperature of -20 degrees C and
then a puck, with the force of 60
foot pounds, will crash down on
the protector. If the protector
cracks, it fails the test.
Optical tests will also be carried
out to ensure that players can see
adequately when wearing the
masks. The standard covers both
clear plastic and mesh protectors,
and the spaces in the mesh
protectors must be sufficiently
small so that the blade of a hockey
stick cannot penetrate the mask.
"I think it's very important that
CSA has a standard to measure
these preducts in order to keep
junk off the marketplace,"
explains Dr. Pashby. "There
have been adequate wire mesh
protectors with openings large
enough to allow a stick through.
CSA certification will also give
the CAHA a reason to make the
wearing of CSA certified
protectors mandatory,"
Several hockey leagues, such
as the Ontario Minor Hockey
Association have already made
face protectors mandatory, which
Dr. Pashby believes has led to the
dramatic decrease in hockey eye
injuries.
In the 1974.75 season, most eye
injuries occurred to those in the
11-15 years age group, while last
season, two-thirds of the injured
players were 16 years of age or
over. This is because the younger
players are wearing protectors,

Names expenses
The Huron County Board of Education
rade buses, provision of better facilities for
trainable retarded and elementary industrial
and home economics facilities its capital
expense priorities for the next two years. The
three projects are estimated to cost $755,000
when the board actually undertakes them,
The two year projection was done by the
board at the request of the ministry of
education. Each year the ministry asks
provincial boards to submit capital forecasts to
allow the province to prepare its own capital
expenses for the year. The ministry supports
each board on capital projects and asks what
those projects are to enable it to earmark
necessary funds.
John Cochrane, director of education, told
the board that the exercise was necessary but
probably futile. He said he fully expected the
board to say no to the Huron requests just as it
said no last year. He said he was unable to tell
the board what to do but did say that if he was
able to he would ask the ministry for six new
buses and funds to update facilities at
J.A.D.McCurdy School for the trainable
retarded and leave it at that. The move would
eliminate one priority for 1978 and five for
1979,
Cochrane said that the reasoning for the
request was that last year the same requests
were made by 'the Huron board and the
ministry replied that the requests would be
rejected on the basis that the province was
giving priority to additional expenses for more
students in growth areas of the province..
Last year the Duron board asked that it b ,
considered for assistance on projects valued at
$225,000 in 1977. The money was for three
projects, the renovation and updating of a
chemistry laboratory at South Huron District
High School in Exeter, the provision of more
adequate facilities at McCurdy school and the
purchase of six replacement buses,

instrumental room at Seaforth District High
School valued at $50,000, home economics
and industrial arts facilities at three
elementary schools valued at $200,000 each,
improvement of music facilities at Central
Huron Secondary School at about $20,000, the
provision of staff room and staff washroom at
South Huron valued about $35,000 and
provision of computer facility at South Huron
or another secondary school valued at
$40,000,
Seaforth trustee John Henderson said he
was in favour of the upgrading of facilities at
McCurdy School and of buying the six buses
but added that the board should try to get
many for the industrial ar is and home
economics facilities for the elementary
schools.
Cochrane told the board that the updating
of the chemistry lab was not a priority now due
to declining enrolment at South:iuron. He said
the, principal of the school said that a
moderate improvement would meet the school
needs and expected to ask, the board for
$3,000 worth of work in the 1978 budget.
Cochrane added that the ministry will only
consider replacing buses if they are ove r
seven years old. or have travelled more than
84,000 miles.
The busesare expected to cost $100,000, the
facilities, for the trainable retarded bout
$55,000 and the ho me economics and
industrial arts facilities ab out $200,0;00 a

(Continued from Page I)
Wingham trustee Alex
Corrigan told Hazlitt that there
wasn't much left of the buses
adding that if the people of
Huron saw the buses they would
want them "thrown out and good
ones put in".
Another bus was designated by
the budget committee for a pilot
project at Goderich District
Collegiate Institute, The bus was
tobe put at GDCI for one year for
use on field trips and organized
athletic events and a record be
kept of all costs including supply
teachers in connection with the
use of the bus.
The idea for the project was to
see if the board could save money
by keeping its own buses in
service for such ventures from
schools rather than renting a bus
and paying costs for the driver
and the vehicle every time the
school needed it. At a board
meeting recently several trustees
suggested that the move would
save the board a considerable
amount of money in the future as
well as being more convenient to
the schools.
The board also accepted a
recommendation that the
standard $200. grant for munici-
palities h olding special celebra-
tions , such as centennials, be
dropped and that each request for
money for celebrations be treated
separately. The budget
committee felt that each request
would be different depending on
the size of the celebration and
thatleach one should be treated
individually.
A request for additional lockers
for Goderich District Collegiate
Institute was tabled until 1978.
The high school is short about 50
student lockers according • to
GDCI principal John Stringer who
tdd the board that students' are
having to double up in lockers to
get around the shortage. The
committee felt that the board
didn't have money this year for
additional lockers but advised
Stringer that if his school budget
could be adjusted to purchase the
lockers this year without asking
the board for more money he was
free to buy them.
The board accepted recom-
mendations; from the budget
committee for the purchase of a
colour television for
J.A.D. McCurdy Public School
since the school budget can afford
it and approved the purchase of a
dinosaur cli mbing apparRtus for
Hensall Public School t,1hder the
same auspices. A request for a
new piano for Zurich Public
School was tabled to see if a
suitable used piano could be
found.
The board also amended its
policy for community use of
schools after school hours. The
change alters the charge for the .
use of the facillity to a flat rate
rather than the present actual
custodial overtime charge. The
policy also permitted school
principals in the interest of good
community relations, to lend
equipment ,chairs, tables and
other items from the school at no
charge understanding that the
borrower is responsible for any
damage and that the loan is
contingent upon the prompt
return of the. equipment at a time
designated by the principal when
Hallrice Club wins at
Brussels Fall Fair
It turned out to be a beautiful
last day of summer for the
Brussels Fair and the Achieve-
ment Day of the Hallrice Dairy
Club. All members had patiently
prepared themselves and their
calves for this final day.
Now as the crucial moment
draws near, members dressed in
white, fuss over the clean calves
successful and we appreciate the
fine job done by Bob McNeil as
judge.
Members of Hallrice Dairy
Club would like to thank Simon
and Maurice Hallahan of Hallrice
Dairy Farms for sponsoring the
club. Members really appreciate
the leadership and support given
by these two men.
Two classes are shown, one for
showmanship and the other for
type. Jean Siertsema won the
showmanship for the club and
went on to win the overall
championship. Jean received the

The play was rehearsed in
Seaforth so there are many local
jokes and references. But Paul
Thompson also takes a satirical
look at the Stratford
Shakespearean Festival.
In Shakespeare for Fun and

of Seaforth is stymied when its
exciting schedule of events
(including Bobby Curtola and the
Helldrivcrs) falls through. John

half adult size and is adult size by
age seven. So these early years of
life are extremely important in
stimulating and developing the
brain to function well. This means
that parents must learn to watch
for any change no matter how
minutes in their child's reactions
and development. Parents often
do not question their doctor
enough and so many problems go
unchecked for too long. No matter
what you are concerned about •
ASK YOU DOCTOR. Children
need constant interaction with
people if their brain and learning
capacities are to develop
properly. We must broaden
discussion with our children to
help them develop and encourage
them to use their imagination and
ingenuity. The speaker said,
males arc one month behind
females in their development at
birth. Therefore boys often tend
to be slightly slower to read,
slower in school and have more
physical disabilities.

Theatre this winter
By Vonni Lee
The Blyth Centre for the Arts
will hopefully, in the very near
future, be a year-round
experience for theatre lovers in
this part of Western Ontario,
This winter, the entertainment
continues at Blyth, with theatre,
music and film to please
everyone.
The theatre season opens on
October 11 and 12 with a stage
version of "Shakespeare for Fun
and Profit" presented by Theatre
Passe Muraille, This is a modern
version of "A Midsummer Night's
Dream" and tickets will soon be
available at regular outlets and at
the Blyth office,
Children's films will be seen on
Saturdays beginning October 8
with "Lassie Come HOme",
Beginning Wednesday,
November 9, an adult film series
will be shown with the movies to
be announced at a later date.
Live entertainment will be
yours at least three times in the
season - at Christmastime with a
koncert; a Robbie Borns night for
all the Scottish people, likely in
late January; and a fiddle and
step dancing competiton.
The Blyth Centre really hit the
jackpot with their 1977 summer
season. Original local plays added
to the hometown appeal and some
fine works were pre witted, Now
they carry this calibre of
entertainment over into winter.
At a time when one cannot dare
to drive hundreds of miles for
entertainment, ,Blyth offers it at
our own back door -just a
snowdrift away! Do take
advantage of it!

and compassionate scientist.
After a bout of temporary

past with him. The truth involved
her ex-husband, her son and her
own inability to come to terms

HEAVEN I'IELP US!
by Herbert Tarr
Tarr's novel tells of a young rabbi
and his warmly comic adventures
in his first pulpit. Rabbi Abel
cane to Hillendale determined to
show his congregation the way to
religion, but alas they seemed to
be more interested in fashion
shows and other fund-raising
schemes. His strongest ally was
the minister of the Episcopal
Church but it is no easy task to be
a prophet on a payroll. Heaven
Help Us! is a wildly funny yet a
deeply serious novel.

magical world of the people who
entertain with wizardry. From
Houdini, to rabbits coming out of
the air, to ladies being sawed in
half or levitated, you will see it
all. The climax of the show will be
the escape of a man bound in a
strait jacket who frees h imself
high above the frozen waters of
Niagara Falls,
If you are still 'with it' at the
end of such an hour, you will be
regally treated to some of the
forest music ever written at 9 as
"The Sound of His Music" is
repeated. The man is Richard
Rodgers and some of the biggest
stars in the business, Sammy
Davis, Peggy Lee, Lena Horne,
Vic Damone, sing some of the
greatest songs ever put on paper.
You'll be humming them in your
