Correspondents seminar held
Ab out 40 news correspon-
dents from community weekly
papers in Huron , and ` Perth
attended a day long seminar in
Clinton Friday, sponsored by the
Biuewater Regional Newspaper
Network,
Rural news correspondents
write out of a sense of service to
others, and of loyalty to their
community, Wingham Advance
Times publisher Barry Wenger
told the group. Editors of other
BRNN papers encouraged
correspondents to look for feature
news and humour.
"If Prime Minister Trudeau
came to your door and asked to
use the phone, first ask him what
he's doing in your area...that's
news," suggested Jim Haggarty,
news editor of the Mitchell
Advocate, to general laughter.
Let readers in your areas know
that you need and want their
participation, said Susan White,
editor, of the Seaforth Huron
Expositor. Make your columns in
your local paper the main source
of news for all ages about your
community and you'll get reader
co-operation, she said,
Space in community papers is
at a premium, as prices rise, the
correspondents heard and they
were urged to keep their news
"tight". "Ask yourselves, what's
the most important partof this
story,, the, fact that a group. gave
$1000 to Crippled Children or that
Hymn 253 was sung?" suggested
Jim Fitzgerald, editor of the
Clinton News Record. Corres-
pondents stress people news and
should ask themselves "are
people going to read this?" he
said.
Newspapers often have to cut
correspondence to make it fit the
space available, explained Joanne
Walters, a reporter with the
Goderich Signal Star, but editors
try to let correspondence reflect
the personalities of the writers,
all involved, active people in
their communities,
Bill Batten, editor of the Exeter
Times Advocate, speaking on how
to handle community reaction to
news once it is printed told the
correspondents that sometimes
their news has to be cut when last
minute hard news breaks,An
editor then has to decide what's
the least important item. "We
have to use our own judgment,
and often it's incorrect," Mr.
Patten said.
"The buck stops here," he said
and urged correspondents to ask
readers who complain to them
about errors and omissions to
phone the local editor. "It's not
your job' as basically volunteers to
accept that criticism,have your
readers call us," he stressed.
After. a, morning schedule ,of
speakers from local papers, and
lunch served by the ladies of
Wesley Willis United Church,
correspondents divided into small
groups to practise editing a
typical meeting report. The
groups also wrote a news story
from , a confusing set of facts,
rumour, gossip and hearsay.
Bob Shrier, president of the
Ontario Weekly Newspapers
Association and of Signal Star
Publishing Ltd„; spoke to the
group at noon and told the
correspondents that their value is
recognized at provincial and
national levels as well as locally.
Following the afternoon
session , correspondents toured
the Signal Star plant in Goderich,
where many BRNN member

Leos skate for sound
In Blyth there is an energetic
group called the Leos which,
although less than 2 years old, are
well onto proving to be excellent
contributors to the community. A
roller skate•a-thon was held
Saturday, October 15 by the Leos
to raise funds to buy sound
equipment for the new arena,
The sponsored marathon lasted
from 7:30 Saturday evening `till
7:30 Sunday morning. Of the 60
children who started
approximately 20 finished. The
only casualties were a few pair of
sore feet whose owners were not
regular skaters.
Although no figures could be
released at press time, Member
June Machan agreed that more
than enough money had been
raised to cover expenses and the
sound equipment costs for 8 track
tape deck, cassette player and
turntable.
Non Leo club members also •
took part in the activities. Prizes
are to be d .ecided at the next
meeting for the oldest skater, the
l
youngest skater and ' the skater
who raised the most money,
The Leos are sponsored by the
local Lions Club in Blyth.
Trappers allowed
inHullett Twp
Trappers in Hullett were
granted permission to hunt on
township property at council's
regular meeting last Monday,
October 3.
The Ministry of Natural
Resources permission was
received by the council.
Inother business, Clerk Clare
Vincent was instructed to order a
councillor's handbook. The book
will act as an aid to council
procedures, making of motions
and many other guidelines.
Clerk Vincent noted that the
book will be made available to not
only the council, but also to the
public in the clerk's office.
A tile drain loan of $2,100 was
granted on lot 25, concession 12 tlor
the private Kelland drain.
Clerk Vincent explained that
council has only $900 left in its
drain loan budget for the year and
it is questionable whether more
muncy can be received. Hullett
received $97,000 for tile loans in
1977.
An "on-site meeting was held
on Tuesday following a discussion
at Monday night's meeting
whether a building permit on lot
29, concession 13 should be
passed.
The building permit for a barn
on the property of Gordon Howatt
was questionned because it was
thought by council members that
it would come too close to the
municipal drain.
The on site check showed that it
would not be too close and the
permit was passed.
Howatt also received
permission to build a house on the
property and other building
permits were issued to Mike
Salverda, lot 28, concession 6, a
barn; David Mason, lot 8,
concession 10, a porch on a
trailer; Dick Westerhout, lot 35,
concession 8, a shed for a
generator; Sam Dougherty, lot
31,,concession 9, a green house
and solar collector; Bert
Greidanus, lot 26, concession 9,
an addition to a house 'and drive
shed; Harold McClinchey, lot 36,
concession. 14, an addition to a
shed and Jan Benjamins, lot 16,
concession 12, a shed addition.
Council also decided to allow
the road superintendent to
advertise for snow plowing
tenders. A special meeting will be
held on October 25 to award the
tender.
East Waw.
gets grant
A grant of $150 is to be given.
to. the East Wawanosh Recre','ation
Parks and Community Centre
Board, it was decided by the East
Wawanosh Township Council at
their meeting held October 4.
The grant is to be forwarded to
the Auburn Hall Board.
Karl Whitfield presented
council with "A Petition for
Drainage Works" which council
accepted and signed. E.W.
Shefflett, planning engineer for
Gamsby and Mannerow is to be
contacted.
In other business, council wrote
off $8.18 re repairs to the Kelly
Drain, and a motion was made
and carried that the Reeve and
Road Superintendent sign a
trapping request. Road accounts
of $5,237.70 and General
Accounts of $7,346.12 were
ordered paid. Building
permits were issued to Murray
Vincent for a granary and to
Kenneth Mason for- a driving
shed.

We're: after your news
THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 19, 1977 —3
(by Rhea Hamilton)
Last week I had the opportunity
of meeting the correspondents
not only from our paper the
Standard but from all the papers in
Huron County. We met at a
seminar held for the
correspondents to let them know
how much their work is
appreciated and to give them
some tips on how to improve their
work,
1 myself learned quite a bit of
useful information concerning the
editing of copy and "what is news
and what is not news," 1 hope
that everyone realises that if your
news is wrong in the paper that
any complaints should be directed
to the figure they call editor, The
correpondent is too valuable to
the newspaper business to have
her run ragged by complaints,
that are, in a majority of cases,
not her fault,
I have a few ideas on trying to
get more Blyth personals into the
paper. Blyth does not have a
correspondent, unfortunately and
therefore is rather neglected. We

We have had some more

picture from last week was
incorrectly dated and should have
read 1915 instead of 1947, Sorry.

At home we have undertaken a

impossible to apply. Think
positive. There is still Indian

Protect yourself
Be careful the next time a stranger knocks on your
door or you may be heading into trouble. There has.
been an outbreak in Ontario lately of home
improvement racketeers who usually operate on a
door to door basis but have been known to use phone
tactics as well.
These so called specialists like to suggest they
are qualified in all forms of home improvement. They
are prepared to undertake any taski be It siding,
roofing, paving driveways, painting or eaves -
troughing.
Most homeowners are concerned about the appear
ance of their homes and in maintaining a fine
appearance. This is why the rackets work so well.
However, there are many ways to protect yourself
if the need arises. If you require work done first
check local firms. They live and do business in the
area and the fact that, in most cases, they have been
in business for many years is a guarantee that they
do good work at fair prices.
Beware of any phone calls or unsolicited callers at
the door. Remember once a convincing salesman is
inside the door it isioften impossible to get rid of him
before he gets what he wants - your signature on a
contract. Don't sign anything until you have had a
chance to check out the firm or salesperson. Once
you sign you may be committed.
If you go ahead and get the work done don't make
any down payments until the job has been
completed. A reputable contractor will not ask for
his money until the job has been completed. Above
all insist on a written contract.
Despite many warnings the public continues -to be
rooked into some pretty raw deals. Don't settle for
second best. If you feel the job is incomplete or
unsatisfactory take either legal action or make a fuss
with the firm. It is your right. Y ou should not be
'railroaded into a situation which in these times of
inflation may break you.
And finally if after you sign an order, anywhere
but in the salesman's office, you may cancel the
contract within two working days. This is your right
and is the cooling off period you may need after the
hot and heavy sales pitch to which an enthusiastic
salesman may have subjected you.
Protect yourself. No one else can do it for you any
better.
I don't know about you, but
there are many times when it
seems I'm completely helpless
amid the thrusts and pressures of
the modern world.
Take the present crises of the
country: the threat of Quebec
secession and the unemployment
situation. Faced with the
enormity of the problems
There is something delightfully inconsistent
about most women which can make strong
men moan and gnash their teeth but provides
a certain amount of inadvertent hilarity to
those of us who have given up long ago.
After years of blowing every nickel we
made, the old battleaxe and I decided to start
saving some money for our old age.
Neither of us will make it; I because the old
corpus will likely cash its ticket before that
time, and she because she'll never grow old.
But it seemed a good idea at the time.
I had no idea what it would lead to. But it
did. First thing I notices was that it cut down
severely on my extra -curricular activities.
"hey, sweetie, is it OK if 1 join the poker
club this fall? They need me. They play so
many old women's games that they want
someone to teach them how to play real poker.
It would practically be the same as teaching
night school."
"Bill, you know perfectly well the answer is
no. We can't afford it. We're trying to save
money, not throw it away."
No use reminding her that on the couple of
occasions I played with these infants of the
game I came home with so many quarters in
my right-hand pocket, she thought I'd broken
a leg as 1 limped in the door.
"Uh, dear, there's to be an old fighter
pilot's reunion in Edmonton this October,
Golly, it would be kinda nice to sneak away for
a few days and see some of the old..."
"What do you- do at those reunions?
Besides tell lies and drink?"
"Well there's a whole program. Speeches,
A dance. Wives are invited. Howja like to go?
They're a great bunch. Guys'll be there from
all over Canada and the ;States. Australia.
Britain. We didn't do a think all summer.
Let's get away from it all."
"From what all? You mean from me. You
know I wouldn't be caught dead at a fighter
pilots' reunion. A bunch of boozy old men
standing around, half -pickled, waving their
hands in the air. What would it cost?"
"Well, there's just the air fare. And the
hotel. And the convention fee. And a few odds
and sods. For the two of us, it would come to
only about $700. And if you were sure you
didn't want to come, I could make it alone for
$500."
Stony silence, Not a word, a gesture of
encouragement. She went off, rather right
around the lips, to watch TV. I sat and pawed
rather wistfully through the reunion litera-
ture, Next day, when I came home from work,
it had all disappeared. There was a small pier
of ashes in the fireplace.
But that's not all our saving binge has
affected, I'm not that selfish. I'm not going to
kick' up a fuss just because my social life has
been wiped out so that I can have a hamburger
and a half, instead of splitting one, whenI'm
an old dodderer.
No, there's a lot more. My wife, in her zeal
to save money, has started reading the food
ads for the first time in her life.
Could any of my readers use 20 pounds of
flour? The old lady uses approximately five
pounds a year, for frying fish and stuff. The
other day, because it was half price, she
bought a 25 pound bag. It sits in the kitchen,
moved from one location to another like one of
the seven dwarfs sleeping off a hangover.
The house is filling up with bargains. She
bought 12 cans of peas at 30 per cent off. We
never cat canned peas, preferring the frozen
ones. We'll never get rid of them unless she
makes a massive canned -pea casserole and
invites all our friends to dinner. We would
then have no friends.
Yesterday, she came in gleefully and
dumped a whole bag full of razor blades in my
lap. Half price) By the time I get half way
through them, an orderly will be shaving me
in some Sunset Heaven.
I go into the bathroom and literally stumble
and fall over sticks of roll-on deodorant which
are spilling out of the drawers. There was a
special on them, and we have enough to pass a
few along to our eventual undertaker.
Any day now, I'm expecting a truck to drive
up to the back door and unload half a ton of
potatoes, because they are 10 per cent off
when bought in bulk.
Open the freezing compartment in the
fridge to get a couple of ice cubes, and you are
liable to be brained by an avalanche of frozen
hamburg, 10 pounds of it at 45 cents a pound,
wrapped. in half -pound packages. That's 40
hamburgers. 1 eat about four a year,
grudgingly.
I was thinking of having some brickwork
done on my house this year. But bricks are
expensive. I think I'll use frozen margarine
instead. We got a great buy on it: 37 cents a
pound, and we have 82 pounds in the
basement.
We have two beaten -up old cars. It was
always a decision:. which one should go i the
garage. No more problems. Now they both
stay out on the street. The garage is full of
turnips, squash, vegetable marrow and
cabbage, every one a bargain.
There's no question. We're saving money
right and left. And just the other day, my wife
announced the coup de grace. If we move
quickly, we can get a terrific deal on a new
dining room suite. It's been knocked down
from $1,800 to $1,500.
Any readers who are having trouble saving
money in these troublous times need only
drop a line. At Smileys', The Price Is Right.
Making peace is what matters most
involved in solving the economic
headaches of Canada, many of
which we cannot even understand
and on which we're given
conflicting information every time
we turn around, what is the
ordinary Canadian supposed to
do?
Much the same is true in the
case of the unity crisis. What can
one individual Canadian far from
the halls of power and indeed far
from even the nearest Quebecois
do to try mend the rift that is
growing in our country?
For myself, I've been writing
for nearly 10 years now about the
need for greater understanding
on the part of English Canadians
for the problems of French
Canadians yet every time I turn
around, every time I'm in a group
of people and the subject comes
up, I hear somebody utter a
bigoted remark that makes me
feel hopelessly that it's impos-
sible for the country to stay
together.
And so the word couldn'd come
at a better time that the Noble)
Peace Prize had been awarded
last week to Mairead Corrigan
and Betty Williams, two
"ordinary" women from
Northern Ireland who have set an
example for all of us to follow. To
me the Nobel PeacelPrize has
always been the greatest award
that can be given out. What
matters more in this world than
trying to bring peace when all
around us we are faced with
bloody battling.
Winners have included Martin
Luther King Jr. Audrei Sakharov,
Henry Kissinger and our own
Lester Pearson, But the most
recent winners are different than
people like Kissinger and
Pearson. Kissinger had the power
of the United States military and
economic strength behind him
when he tried to negotiate peace
settlements. Pearson had no such
power, but he was well -practiced
in diplomacy and highly
respected by world leaders so his
arguments had influence,
But Corrigan and Williams had
none of this. they were not
widely known. They had no
power. They lived in awar-torn
land where no one trusted anyone
else. Daily they saw people killed
and children brutalized by the
killing around them. The battling
had been going on for years and
rio end appeared in sight. The
final straw for Mairead Corrigan
was when she saw three
youngsters run down by a run-
away automobile driven by a
terrorist who had just killed a
British soldier, She was their
aunt.

From the Minister's Study
for MeaningThe Search
This past summer in our travels
we met a young man who had
spent the summer in Western
Canada, mostly in the mountains,
searching for the meaning of life.
He was a Univcristy student in his
twenties an¢ had not yet found a
satisfying purpose for his life, He
went to the mountains where he
might be alone 10 think and read
to see if he could find answers to
the questions that were troubling
him.
This young man's search in
everyman's serach in a sense. All
human beings made in the image
of God arc in one way or another,
consiously or unconciously,
looking for that which gives
fulfillment to life.
Many centuries ago; Solomon
who was aclaimed as the wisest
and wealthiest person who ever
lived also looked for that which
meets our deepest need, The
Book of Eccle siastes tells us that
he made a search of wisdom, He
studies endlessly and also
received from God the gift of
wisdom but in the end he found
that much knowledge was
fruitless as far enriching his life to
the fullest. He said, "1 applied
my mind to know wisdom. ---I
perceived that this is but a
striving after wind." (Ecc, 1:17)
Ecclesiastes also tells us that

TROJAN
HYBRID CORN SEED
Not always better,
• but better overall.
This Fall, more Canadian farmers will
see the figures that show Trojan does
a better job for them. With corn that
yields, stands, dries down—is in some
way—better.
Trojan won't come out on top every
time, of course. But Trojan will win
overall. Simply because Trojan has a
better chance of developing the best
hybrids.
One reason: all those Pfizer
research farms. In Ontario. In the US
corn belt. In Florida. They even have
some in Hawaii where they get 31/2
generations of corn a year!
Ask us if Trojan has a hybrid that
will do better on your farm. We'll tell

eith�t
�ou�r►on�/%r,
Motorists have the mistaken
idea that being part of a funeral
procession exempts them from
prosecution under the Highway
Traffic Act or ch illiability if they
commit traffic violations.
However, if one involves himself
in an accident while going
through a stop sign or red traffic
signal, and the intersection is not
controlled by a police officer, that
motorist is in trouble. Police can't
always .be there to man these
locations because other calls
could crop up, so motorists should
take this message to heart.

Farmers try aerial seeding
Though most farmers have
been cursing the sky in recent
weeks, wondering if the rain will I
ever stop, at least one area farmer
can see the sky a little differently
these days.
The farmer, who prefers to
remain anonymous, took a
morning off from harvesting his
corn friday to watch a small and
powerful single engined aircraft
rain winter wheat seed on fields
that would have mired a tractor
hopelessly in axle deep mud.
The plane, a $40,000 Piper
Pawnee, specially equipped for
seeding and spraying, is owned
and flown by Jim Horvath of
Tillsonburg, and operates in this
area from the Harpurhey airstrip
of Durl Hopper.
Passing only a few feet above
95 acres of freshly plowed field,
the plane carried 900 pounds of
seed in a tank ahead of the
cockpit. It was released from an
opening beneath the wing,
spreading evenly over the field at
a rate of 144 pounds per acre. The
seeding, which would have taken
a day and a half using
conventional machinery, was
completed in just 2' hours. ,
Though Friday was the first
time aerial seeding of winter
wheat has been tried in this area,
it is common practice out West,
according to Milton Dietz, of ,
Scaforth, who supplied the seed.
And the technique has proven
successful in the past.
"We know it works" Mr. Dietz
said. "It's not just something
we're taking a chance on."
Though the seed is deposited
on top of the ground, it presents
no problems to normal germin-
ation Mr. Dietz said. You have
only to look at the growth that
takes place in fields after they
have been combined to see that
seed takes very well when its
just dropped on the ground. Mr
Dietz points out.
Aerial seeding of barley is
common practice for farmers who
want the seed on the ground very
early in the spring, Mr. Dietz

The McKillop U.C.W. unit of
Duff's Church Walton met at the

The theme "Count Out

"Life's Harvest of Joy of Peace"

was sung accompanied by Mrs.
C. Wcy on piano. Mrs. Buich had
the Scripture from Psalm 65
"Praise and Thanksgiving."
Mrs. D. Dennis gave the
Meditation "Should thanksgiving
day be an optional condition?"
Mrs. M. Hackwell gave the topic
on "The Calribbean Crescent."
Two songs were sung "Let us
Talents and Tongues Employ"
and "The Lord's Prayer".
Mrs. Buich read a poem
"Thanksgiving Day" followed by
Mrs. Hackwell taking the offering
and dedicated by Mrs. Mpennis.
Mrs. M. Dennis closed this part
of the meeting with a poem "Take
time" followed by prayer.
Mrs. McGavin presided for
business thanking everyone who
had taken part in devotions. She
also read a poem "Turning
thirty". Ro11 call was taken by
everyone telling and naming
something to be thankful for.
Mrs. Hackwell gave the
treasurer's report and Mrs.
McGavin closed the meeting with
prayer.
Lunch was served by Mrs. G.
Love Jr., Mrs. G. McNichol and
hostess, Mrs. McGavin.

RAINING SEED — In pass after pass, pilot Jim
Horvath dropped seed on an area farmers field at a

FLY AWAY, PAUL
By Peter Davies
Paul, while living in a boy's
home in Montreal, had run away
four times and consequently had
been beaten soundly by the
owner, Old King Cole. Paul's
' mother was always promising to
make a real home for him, but
finally he realized, that she was
lying. For a „while he had three
good friends, but due to circum-
stances he was deprived of their
companionship, Paul was left
alone to cope with King Cole and
the cruelty and sexuality of the
boys as he tried to make a new
way of life for himself,

WE, THE LIVING
By Ayn Rand
the Living is a story of
Russie and portrays the
of the Russian Revolution
on three people who try to shape
their own destinies. It is not a
story of politics but of men and
women who have to struggle for
existence behind the Red banners
and slogans, it shows the kind of
people who were able to survive.
MAGIC IN THE ALLEY
By Mary Calhoun
Alleys to Cleery were the best
places in town as they held secret
places, unknown places and
treasure places. That was where
the unexpected could happen but
never did she think that she
would ever find magic in an alley,
but she did. It was in a box with a
trick lock. In it were seven magic
items and one of them made an
old stuffed crow come alive, Th(
rest of the summer was one long
en chantment for Cleery, her
friend, Knobs, and for Crow.

Detroit, Michigan and grew up in
Aylmer, Ontario, She went to
East Elgin Secondary School.
Following her graduatin,tiAliss
Mclvor worked in Detroit at
United Airlings as a reservations
,agent. After her work in Detroit,
she came back to Ontario and
worked as a clerk typist for
Ontario Hydro in Aylmer. She
then attended Toronto Bible
College. Her next job took her to
the Toronto Board of Education as
a guidance secretary. It was here
that she became interested in a
career in teaching, so she became
a part time student at. York
University.
Miss Mclvor first taught at
Lion's Head District School in the
Bruce Peninsula, When a position
opened in Wingham, she took the
job, because she wanted to be
closer to her home town of
Aylmer. This year Miss Mclvor
teaches first and second year
typing, and third year office
practice.
Miss Mclvor feels that there is
a caring attitude here at Madill,
between students and teachers.
She feels that it is easy to teach
students because most of them
realize that there is a need for
rules. Because of this, there arc
very few discipline problems.
Another point she mentioned
about students is that they have a
sense of humor about school life.
It is not that they are laughing

administration of the school is
excellent. Miss Mclvor says that
she is happy here.
Miss Mclvor is a Christian, and
feels that personal happiness

faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
Miss Mclvor has recently
become interested in rug
hooking although she says she is
not adventurous enough yet to
design her own patterns. Her
favourite colours are the earth
tones. One of Miss McIvor's
favourite activities is to visit her
aunt and uncle's farm near
Aylmer, where she likes to take
long walks with her dog, and do
some trail biking. Miss Mclvor
had lived in Clinton but, because
fo the severity of last winter, she
has taken an apartment in
Wingham.
We hope that Miss Mclvor will
stay here, and that she will
continue to be happy here.

top player
Coaches Mr. Lane and Mr.
Mali must have been feeling
somewhat down on Thursday,
October 6 for that was the
unfortunateafternoon of the game
of the Madill Junior Football team
at Stratford Northwestern. To put
it simply, we lost 34.9. But there
was one bright spot in the
depressing gloom of that day.
Grant Gnay; in that game, scored
a touchdown along with having
punted a single. Again, yes you
guessed it, Grant scored a 2 point
conversion which saved the brave
Mustangs from being completely
obliterated in the muddy field.
Congratulations also must go out
to Gr ant for being chosen for the
worthy position of "Player of the
Week".
Hopefully the upcoming game
against Stratford Central on our
own Wingham field will be a
complete turnabout.

Although the Grade 13's and the

percentage of sales, remember
that they also have the smallest
numbers, Eight hundred year-
books must be sold or there will
not be a yearbook. You will not be
able to buy a yearbook in the
spring when they arrive, so order
now and get in on a good thing.
Besides, 1 have it from a reliable
source (the editor) that this year's
Yearbook "will be just fantastic".
By the way, this year's Editor is
Patti Stewart. The assistants to
the editor are Vicki Netzke and
Wanda Colvin and Cathy Walters
is Chief Photographer. These
people are really enthusiastic and
the Yearbook Club has lots of
members who are enthusiastic

New students are adjusting
As the year of 1977.78 gets
underway, we begin to wonder
how the new classes of grade nine
students are fitting in. To get an
idea of how they feel about high
school, we asked some grade nine
pupils we met in the halls at
random the following question:
"What do you find most different
in high school?"
One of the boys we asked was
Robbie Nicholson, 9H. When
asked he promptly answered,
"That's easy --there's more girls
to choose from l"
Brian Tempas 9K, was the next
"ankle biter" questioned and he
finds it a change rotating from
room to room and having so many
different teachers.
Another pupil, Kim Craig 9B,
feels that high school gives her
more freedom than public school.
When asked what he fords most
different Steven Stevenson 9K,
answered that the days seem to
pass more quickly and classes
seem shorter.
So I feel we can say that on the
whole the grade nines for this
year are fitting in and becoming
adjusted to high school very well.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 19, 1977 —19
by Debbie Ranney
Well last week's picture of the old house certainly attracted a lot of attention and we're grateful to
Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Bainton, Mrs, Lueella McGowan and Miss Ida McGowan for their help in
obtaining information about the house.
The house which is located on Disnley Street in Blyth is not yet 100 years old, having been built
••ometime around 1904. It was built by Mr. D. B. McKinnon, the same man who built Ray Madill's
,tore.
There are even some local residents who lived there and are still living in Blyth. Mr. and Mrs. Allan
Bert Bainton and their family lived in the house from 1917-1932. The family consisted of Audrey,
Franklin (the owner of Bainton's Old Mill in town) and Marjorie.
Inside the house on the main floor there is a large entrance hall with a beautiful winding staircase.
There are double livingrooms with a fireplace in each one and there is also a diningroom and kitchen.
On the second floor, there are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a small sitting area in the tower room.
The third floor was an attic with the walls finished when the Bainton's moved there.
When the Daniel McGowan family moved in, Dr, John Ross and Dr. Anne Ross came from Toronto
and lived with them, They made the third floor into living quarters -as an apartment for one of the
girls.
Of course we realize this isn't all the history that goes with that beautiful old home and with the time
permitted we could only capture some of its highlights, but we hope that the information we did glean
was of interest to you.

20 -THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 19, 1977
F.E. Madill student condemns 'Soap
It all started innovently enough
when the ABC network issued its
list of new shows for 1977, There,
snuggled in amongst the
programs, was the following
notations"SOAP, a radically new
and outrageous form of adult
comedy that serializes the
exploits of two un usual families,
There has never been a television
program like this one!"
No, there certainly hasn't!
When the pilot for this series was
shown there were a number of
varied reactions to it, At -least two
stations were leary of airing this
show and others thought that it
didn't belong in one of the
"prime time" slots. It also caused
upheavals in newspapers and
other forms of the media. Every-
one was assigning a critic to view
this sensaonal new series that
was to be o characteristic of our
day and age. Well, it may be
characteristic but it also degrades
the human race and it bases its
weekly shows on making fun of
human failure and problems.
Peace
(Continued from Page 4)
The two organized a new
women's peace movement, that
began among the Catholic
women of Ulster and spread, the
first movement that really
managed to cross sectarian lines.
They marched for peace and
received death threats for their
trouble. But they ushered in a
new spirit in Ulster.
No, they didn't bring peace to
Ulster. There are still bombings
and killings, but the frequency is
lessening in recent month. Police
report more support in rounding
up terrorist from people, parti-
cularly in the Catholic sections of
the country who previously were
afraid to speak up,
The two ladies have made a
remarkable step in bringing
sanity to one of the most insane
placed in the world but 1 think
their inspiration may be even
more important outside Ulster.
When we are young, most of us
are idealists. We have the feeling
that we have the power to change
the world for the better. As we
get older, however, we find that
the battle isn't always easy and
the victories are often far smaller
than we envisioned.
As the years go by, we don't
lose our idealism so much as we
simply tire of the battle. What's
the use? Why should we continue
to smash our heads against the
brick walls of prejudice and greed
and hatred? What can we do
anyway? Let's leave it to the
politicians to solve the problem
and get on with the accumulation
of personal achievement: a colour
television, two cars, a summer
zottage and a winter vacation in
Acapulco.
Cainada in particular has given
up the fight. We're on a national
greed binge with everybody
looking out for "Number One"
(it's significant that our biggest
rock group had a hit song called
Looking Out For Number One.)
Leave it to Trudeau to solve the
problems. Leave it to Davis or
Levesque or Lougheed or Clark.
Blame them when things go
wrong.
In Ulster, it wasn't the govern-
ment and the political leaders
such as Brian Faliconer who
caused the problem. It was the
little people, led by radicals in
both the Catholic and Protestant
sides. It wasn't the government
that provided the thrust for the ;
present more peaceful times
either: it was two simple women
who decided they had t', do
something. 1 wish we could bottle
their spirit and drive and idealism
and import it to Canada before
it's too late,
For example: One of the many
characters in "SOAP" is the
grandfather. Many people deal
witlfan aging parent at some time
in their life and this type of
situation can turn out to be very
humourous and full of warm,
loving moments --if it is
approached in the right way. But,
"SOAP" takes the route of
ridicule, The ' grandfather is
merely a "thing" to be tolerated
until he dies, He isn't loved by
anyone --they shut him out of the
lives that he took such a great
part in shaping.
The whole series is full of
instances like the above, It is the
old story of "get a laugh and
forget about the
consequences."
portrays the human
a group of people
any depth to their being at all, It
teaches. us that people are
worthless, cheats and liars, Sex is
a toy that is to be thrown away
when a new one comes along. But
is this really what we are? Do you
personally feel you haven't made
a contribution in some way --be it
small'or large --to bettering your-
self and your fellow man? 1 am
very much against insinuations
that this show is really agreeing
to the idea that our race is
composedof silly, thoughtless
people with one thing on their
meaning and- mind --sex. Adultery is a serir"its
AP" offence but "SOAP" treats it as a
"SO
race as being base on which to build a
one-liner,
