A BIG ONE - Charles Hull (in picture) and a friend

salmon have been spotted in the Blyth Creek since

About 150 boxes will be
distributed to the Blyth Public
School students who will be out
collecting for UNICEF • on
Monday, October 31, Hallowe'en
night.
People can not only help by
giving donations to this cause but -
also by looking out for these
youngsters while driving on the
road since masks can obscure the
vision of the children.
As for the children's costumes,
they should be decorated with
reflective tape or iron -on material
which "lights up" when
illuminated by auto headlights.
Masks that have small eye holes
or fit poorly should be avoided.
Create disguises with makeup
instead of 'masks. Ghosts and
goblins should carry a working
flashlight for a safer, happier
Hallowe'en night. '
Reflective material should
decorate the front, sides and back
of costumes.
Always try tohave an adult
near the children through the
evening to serve both as a guide
and a quieting influence.
Salmon seen in Blyth
Believe it or not the salmon are
running in the Blyth creek and as
many as five have been sight ed
at one time under the bridge at
the railroad tracks near the north
end of the village.
A wide distribution of salmon
has been reported in the creeks
and streams of Huron County and
is attributed to the high water
level caused by the excessive
rains of August and September.
With higher water levels the fish
are able to navigate further
upstream into creeks that are
usually low or dry, Once
upstream the salmon spawn their
eggs which will hatch in the
following spring.
A season for salmon does not
really exist in Huron County.
Fishing for the large fish may
continue until the end of
December and then all inland
fishing in Huron County must
stop until the new season opens
sometime in the following spring.
The lake salmon are much paler
than their relative the cohoe or
BC salmon. When eaten, it may
be compared to lake trout in
colour and flavour,
The commercial lake fishermen
are restricted from fishing and
selling lake salmon as the high
levels of PCB are considered
hazardous to health and are
forbidden by law to be sold.
The daily catch is five fish per
person and they can reach sizes of
over 30 inches which makes for a
lot of eating. After the end of
December, the only places left to
Hullett residents
Must license dogs
• Dog owners"` in Hullett
'Township will have to have their
animals licensed from now on. At
a special meeting last week,
council approved a by-law setting
a licensing fee of $5 for one dog
and $7 for each succeeding dog a
Hullett resident owns. The new
by-law also prohibits dogs
running loose, and is aimed at
ending this problem, particularly
in the police village of
Manchester.
In other business, council
discussed anticipated problems in
hiring a building inspector. At
present, no fee is charged for
building permits in the township,
but council feels if a building
inspector is hired, a charge will
have to be made for building
permits to p ay the inspector's
salary. The matter of a building
inspector will be discussed at a
joint meeting with McKillop
Township October 25 before any
final decisions are made.
A by-law was passed to provide
for the appointment of fire
officers in the township. The
by-law was requested by Seaforth
council to allow Seaforth fire chief
Don Hulley to act as Hullett
Township Ore officer.
Building permits were
approved for Robert Beacom,
manure tank; Peter Westerhout,
addition to two broiler houses;
Bainton Ltd., Processing plant
and storage; B. Bergsma,
addition to house; R.
Archambault, steel granary and
addition to barn; and for Gordon
Howatt for a pig barn with
retaining manure wall, the latter
to be built to council's
satisfaction.

Review store hours
In case you may have missed the story the
Commerce Bank in Blyth has new hours which
include being open during the noon hour of 12 to one.
Until now anyone pass ing through Blyth during
the noon hour might be excused for thinking
everyone was on holiday with the places of business
closed.
However this may change as a result of the bank's
action. Certainly the additional service the bank is
providing will be helpful to Blyth.
Until now the only hours in which those working
usual times could do their banking was late Friday
afternoon. And for those who worked 'till six on
Friday 'even this opportunity didn't exist.
The only alternative has been to go to Clinton or
some other area town where the banks remained
open longer hours. Having gone elsewhere to cash a
pay cheque, many people decided they might as well
open an account. The next step too often has been to
do one's shopping in the other community. Bly th.
not only has been losing banking trade but also other
business as well.
Perhaps this is the time to review store hours
generally in order to improve service and thus to
contribute to a busier and more prosperous
community. Such a review may well be worth while.
Communities important
Next to the family, the community is the most
important centre of activities that make life human,
civilized and cultured. No other environment
contributes so significantly to nourish the values of
life.
Governments on all levels are learning this by the
failure of their efforts to impose neighbourhood re-
development programs without consulting and
involving . the people who live there. Community
work satisfies the desire to contribute to humanity; it
gives a person something to do that is worth while; ;t
provides fellowship. The community of individuals,
in hamlet, village, town or city, supports churches,
schools, fraternal societies and centres for recrea-
tional and artistic activities.
If a person is to have dignity, he must make his
contribution to life. It is in the community that man
feels what he is and has a chance to become what he
can be. Through association with others in church,
school, club and recrea tion the individual gets a
sense of status and a sense of social acceptance and
support.
People do not become part of a community merely
by being together, but rather by sharing interests
and engaging in activities to further the welfare of
the group. The strongest bond between people is the
feeling of having common problems, common values
and common hopes.
Community work is self -developing. It is more
than merely sending a cheque. We seek the respect
of the society in which we live. Mutual tolerance and
co-operation will lead to the point when'you call your
neighbour "friend" and thatImeans much to both of
you. Membership in the community comes from a
conscious sense of "belonging".
By belonging, we accept certain responsibilities for
constructive contribution. The good citizen will
shape his community by working with other citizens.
Then problems get solved, wrongs are righted, the
beauty and spirit of the community is enhanced.
(Ridgetwbn Dominion)
People love to talk, these days,
about the good old days. For me
that means time dated BG: before
glasses,
Eye glasses are one of the most
important and overlooked
inventions of man but they are
also a bane of my existence. 1
suppose the problem is that 1
spent the first 25 years of my life
without glasses and find it hard to
get used to living with them.
I'd always had perfect eyesight
in those days BG and took a quiet
pride in it. It made things a lot
easier playing 'sports and such as
a youngster than it was for my
fellows who had to wear glasses. I
suppose I' was evena-little smug
about it, as if it was some kind of
personal achievement not to have
to wear glasses. But pride goeth
before the fall and my fall came
about five years back. The
newspaper business has driven
some people to drink, some to
habitual smoking and caused
some to get ulcers (or all three).
Me it drove to glasses, It was a
particularly tough time•during my
newspaper career when the days
began early and carried on to the
wee hours of the morning. .Alt of
the work invovled reading fine
print and straining eyes. 1 wasn't
long before .I noticed when
driving that roadside signs were
blurry and it was hard to see
anything very plainly more than
20 feet away. Humbly 1 realized it
was time to go to an optometrist.
As if just having to go wasn't
hard enough on the ego after
years of taking pride in good
eyesight, it was an even bigger
blow when the doctor announced:
"Sir you are myopic." Of all the
insults. Newspaper editors are
supposed to have vision, to be far
sighted,How could I ever admit I
was short sighted and hold up my
head at a newspaper convention?
Of course once I got the glasses
and put them on I realized how
The trouble
with eye' -glasses
badly I'd needed them and
rediscovered the miracle of clear
vision. I realized just what I'd
been missing. And for five years
since then, I've frequently
realized what 1 was
missing: my glasses. If there is
ever a divorce in the family,
glasses may be listed as one of
the causes. I'm forever setting
the darned things down because
for normal things like reading, 1
don't need them. It's only when
I'm driving or watching
television that 1 need themSo I
take them off and set them down
and of course when I need them
again, 1 forget where 1 put them.
And since I can only see things
close up, I can't see the glasses if
they're lying on a table across
the room, only if I'm right beside
the table. To make things worse,
my memory cells have aged to the
point of a 125 -year-old so 1 can't
even narrow the search arca
down. At such times a scream
goes out to the wife to come to the
rescue and hse has to drop what
she's doing and join in the search.
I used to try to solve •the
problem by sticking the glasses in
my breast pocket when I wasn't
using them but the problem was
I'd bend over to tie a shoe lace
and they'd fall out on the ground,
or more likely a piece of cement
and the glasses would shatter.
One such tumble neatly broke
off one of the arms of the glasses.
It's no great tragedy and for most
people it would simply mean a
trip to the optometrist to get them
fuzed. But with a hectic ;shnedule
to keep, somehow 1 kept putting
off that trip and it was months
before I finally got the glasses.
fixed. By that time I had
developed a strange kink in my
neck because I had tilted my head
to the right for so long to keep the
glasses from falling off.
In time of desperation, when
I've lost the glasses again and
have to be somewhere in two
minutes, I've been known to say
to heck with it (or words to that
effect) and go out without them
....not driving of course, just
walking. But then the problem
comes in. Now when my wife,
who is a city girl, first moved to a
small town she almost hated to
walk down the. street.Window
shopping in the city had been fun,
but in a small town you had to be
so alert to see people you knew
and say hello that you hardly had
time to look in the window. She
almost got to be a nervous wreck
worrying about missing
somebody.
1 found the same problem
walking down the street without
glasses. I could hardly even see
the other side of the street, let
alone recognize faces. So it was
either wave at everything that
moved including complete
strangers and large dogs, or risk
being called a snob by friends and
acquaintances who didn't know
my problem. I finally solved the
problem by either looking down at
the cracks in the sidewalk or up at
the birds in the sky at all times as
if 1 was deeply preoccupied. It
worked fine, as long as 1
remembered where the intersec-
tions were and didn't step out in
front of a truck.
Usually when I do find my
glasses and put them on and run
out the door, 1 find it suddenly
seems to be overcast when 1
thought it was sunny. That's
because 1 am the world's worst
• glasses cleaner. The dust and
grime and finger prints arc
usually about a quarter inch thick
before 1 get around to cleaning
the Tenses.
So dear mister whoever -you -
are who invented the eyeglasses:
I thank you gratefully for helping
me see but sometimes wish you'd
invented the electric toothbrush
instead,
Old stamps can help the poor
To the Editor:
Especially at Christmas time, I think of all
the used postage stamps that are needlessly
discarded. These seemingly worthless
articles, from any country, are sold in bulk by
the Scarboro Fathers, to stamp dealers, to
help finance mission 'projects throughout the
world.
In 10 months 1 have received over 100 lbs, of
cancelled postage stamps, in small quantities,
in very large quantities, from schools, service
clubs, companies, individuals , etc. They
add up quickly if everyone collects them for
me.
It hardly takes a second to rip the used
postage stamps off an envelope leaving a
bit of paper around it.
This can be YOUR way of helping the
world's poor without costing You a lot of time
or money.
Please send (by "Third .Class"' Mail) or
bring all your cancelled postage stamps,
anytime of the year to:

trees was approved.
Mrs, Bill Eliott, committee
chairman for the digging up and
rearranging of beds at the

The 90th •anniversary meeting

October 18 in Knox Presbyterian
Church with guests from Knox
United Church, Belgrave,Trinity
Anglican Church, , Belgrave,
Brussels W,M.S. group and

Mrs. Joe Dunbar presided and
opened with a reading, "Things
Historians helpful
There are many part time
historians in the community who
do not know the value of their
information.'
After running a picture of a
Disnley street home, Harry
Weymouth from Clinton came in
'to tell us what he knew of the first
home.
The house was built in 1904 by
Luxton Hill for Dan McKinnon -
who was the father of Mrs. Dr.
Milne. The house has passed th
rough quite a few families • the
McMurchics, Sillibs, McGowans •
in subsequent years.
Thank you everyone who took
such an interest in the house.
Watch for the next photohistorical
home.
There are a few problems
involved with laying out the
paper. One is space and
sometimes it is necessary to
condense stories to make
everything fit. Therefore we
apologize for any omissions or
errors. • .
We have forms available for
weddings which will make it
easier for those contemplating a
wedding to have the story in the
Standard.
When driving along the county
roads it is a pleasant sight to see
so many fields cleared of their
crop. The sunny and dry weather
of the last few days has been a
blessing.
We have been caulking around
our home to stop last years drafts,
plus cutting and hauling wood for
the fireplace. When the weather
is so fine nothing is more
satisfying than to get out and g et
to work in preparation for the
season ahead.

Trojan won't come out on top every

overall. Simply because Trojan has a
better chance of developing the best
hybrids.

Belgrave WI hears aboutpollution
Correspondent
Mrs, Lewis Stonehouse
The members of the Belgrave
Women's Institute were made
aware of the problem of Pollution
in the area when Miss Lillian
Potter now of Belgrave discussed
the subject.
Since World War 1I, we have
been living in the "Chemical
Age," and many people cannot
adjust to the use of synthetics in
clothing, perfumes and sprays•in
household effects, additives,
preservatives and colourings in
food and a great deal of
discomfort and illness has been
caused by these factors in our
society, The air pollution caused
by chemical sprays on fields, the
burning of leaves and garbage
also causes damage in certain
areas. Mr. Ron Fleming from the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food,
Clinton, spoke on Pollution from
Agricultural stand point. He
mentioned the road salt as being
a real pollutant, causing field
crops and trees near highways to
dty up and die. He cautioned
farmers not to use too much
fertilizer as the excess run off into
streams does kill fish,
He listed several suggestions to•
which farmers might well pay
strict attention. Make sure
weather is calm when spraying,
he said, limit aerial spraying,
minimize burning, minimize run
off from feedlots; never w .sh
sprayer in streams or creeks; do
not spread manure on frozen soil.
He said "Each one of us breathes
in about 35 pounds of air during
the day so it should be pure." He
said, also, that each individual
should become aware of the
problems, then do something
about it, Both these speakers
were very concerned about the
subject of Pollution but it is a
subject everyone should be
concerned about and do some-
thing about.
Mrs. Leonard James presided
for the meeting held on Tuesday,
October 18. She also reported on
the London Arca Convention held
at Vanastra, September 28 and
29. Mrs. Walter Scott reported
from the Huron County Rally held
at Howick Community Centre
October 3.

Editorial
Where is youth heading?
Just where are the young
people headed today? We are
counselled to stay in school
because of the opportunities
education provides. But where do
we go ? Universities offer us a
number of degrees to follow our
name and a high paying job in
favourable conditions. The first
handicap for some is marks,
Standards for entry into universi-
ties are quite high. if your parents
are rich, that is great, you have no
worries about money. Parents
who are just managing to get by
can hardly afford to send their son
or daughter to university. When
you are accepted, stress from
school and parents, gets . ou
feeling down (not to mention your
money status). What do you have
when you are through? Hopes of
finding a job!
Others who wish to continue
their education after high school
in search of a good job may attend
community college. The length of
time to complete the course is
about half as long as university
and, therefore, less expensive.
Acceptance is also a problem. The
same question arises however,
will there be a job available?
After getting all kinds of
education the biggest worry is
finding a job. Employers are
• always asking for a high level of
education. If you have that, they
want experience. How do you
obtain experience if nobody hires
you to get it?
Where is the average student
headed? Is his best choice to drop
out at the age of sixteen and work
in a factory? The men on
construction receive extremely
high wages with very little
education. Most of the time it's
Madill
loses to
Stratford
It was chilly out on the
Wingham football field on Thurs-
day, October 13th but this didn't
affect the players' performances
or the crowd in attendance. The
spectators consisted of Madill
students and staff who, at 3:30
came out to view the game
already in progress. The cheer-
leaders were out in full swing too,
with a constant chorus of cheers
to urge on our junior football team
who were playing against Stratfor
Central. The honourable
opponents had the record of no
games lost this season and also no
score against them in four games.
But the Mighty Mustangs went
out and creased their reputation
in ending the game with the score
20-6 for Stratford Central. That's
not that bad and it could be that
the Mustangs are on their way
upwards through the ranks of
junior football.
Grant Gnay, in keeping with his
past performance, gained 72
yards and caught a 15 yard
touchdown pass from Peter
Goodall. Kevin Wamsley made a
"superb" play and as a result
was named player of the game.
There were also another 55 yards
gained in the air. These players
and all the rest of the team fought
hard to make this a better -played
game. We fans won't disappoint
the players either and we'll be out
full force, sacrificing the last
activity period of theweek to see
Norwell vs Madill here. The date
of this approaching game is
Thursday,0`ctober 20th and watch
out Norwell, because we plan to
be the best team in the land!
Dianne McBride 1OF
"who you know", not "what you
know". The young student
doesn't know in which direction to
head,
Without post -secondary
education the chances of getting a
job diminish quickly. Students are
going to college tb be policemen,
secretaries and even farmers.
(The farmers get a laugh out of
that!) The day may come when
college won't be good enough, It
will be necessary to attend
university then something will be
invented for studies after that.
What can be done to stop it?
What about new' employment
opportunities? This is a young
country; we should be able to
start new jobs. Instead of
bringing in a skilled man or
woman, let's educate the
Canadian student, We should be
placed first on the list. Someone
should speak up for the youth of
this country. After:all we will be
running the country sometime.
Lets stand up and be counted!

Avoiding
hazards
To help your children have a
safer Hallowe'en the Ontario
Safety Lcaguc has come up with
some safe motoring tips.
'i'hey say that the main thing to
bear in mind is that the youngs-
ters garbed in outlandish
costumes for their trick -or -
treating ventures may be
concentrating so much on having
fun that they neglect their own
safety.
Here are some of the tips they
give id motorists:
I) Make stirs your headlights
and windshield arca are as clean
as possible to insure good
visibility that night;
2) Obey all traffic signs and
regulations, and slow down more
than you normally would in I
residential areas;
3) Watch for children darting
from between parked cars;
4) Be on the lookout for
children in dark clothing walking
down the road, on the shoulders,
on the median, and everywhere
else where you normally would
expect to see them.
The Safety Lcaguc also says
that if you arc driving the children
your job is to concentrate on the
job of driving and not allow
yourself to become, distracted by
the noisy crowd of kids around
you.
it is also recommended that
when you park your car on the
right side of the road, you "kill"
yuur headlights so that oncoming
drivers are.not blinded. Switch on
your flashing lights to serve as a
caution to other drivers,
But besides driving the
children, parents of trick or
treaters should remember these
child savers:
1) Map out a route for your
children, marking stops at only
time homes where you know the
residents;
2) Review pedestrian rules of
safety with the children; ,
3) Tell the children to cross the
street only at authorized 'cross-
walks and never bctwcei; parked
-cars;
4) Remind them ,to look in all
directions before crossing the
street, and to watch for an obey
all traffic lights; 5) Instruct
them to use sidewalks and not
streets for walking from house 10
house, and remind them always
to wait on the curb •• not in the
street - until the street is clear to
cross.

Hike along the
Maitland Trails
Last Saturday the Maitland
Trail Association and The

ages.
There. were three choices of
trails, all varying in lengths and
time. One was a loop around the
reserve taking an hour to hike.
The second and third choices
were two miles and at the end the
ambitious were picked up and
driven back to the starting point.
Refreshments were available.
The guides left with a group
about every hour and the day
hiking began at 10 a.m. and the
last group left at 2 p.m.
The trails were dry and
fragrant with dried leaves, The

pace and no one was left behind.
For an enjoyable outing keep your
eyes open for future hikes.

THE LAST ESCAPE
By EX, R. Lorac
In Dartmoor Prison young Rory
Macshane had carefully collected
items that would aid him in his
cleverly contrived break, Then on
a foggy winter morning a fight in
the work arca distracted the
guards, allowing Rory to slip
away unnoticed, Two months
lhter, neighbours of the retired
Superintedent MacDonald were
alarmed by scattered evidence of
an unknown visitor in the area.
Neither MacDonald nor
Macshane could escape a
terrifying long -forgotten past.
THE BIG LONESOME
By Will Bryant
An old trapper's memories of a
gold -rich stream guided a young
boy and his father to the Rocky
Mountains of Idaho and Montana.
There they came in contact with
grizzlies. The Big Lonesome tells
of their adventures with the
bears, both desperate battles and
the warm and loving relationship
that developed between the boy
and a grizzly cub. The story ,
rovides a fascinating tale of the
West in the 1860's.

From the Minister's study Fath Alive
A cross-section of church
people in Canada were recently
polled to find out what is the most
pressing issue facing the church
today, A number of subjects were
suggested from which to choose,
Among the topics listed were
evangelism, social issues and
re -structuring of church organi-
zation, The concern, however,

Members of the Clinton Christian Reformed Church formed
a, choir for the Sunday evening song service led by Dick
Roorda.
Miss Eunice Lamb was welcomed to the Home at the
Monday afternoon program. The Goderich Township
Women's Institute volunteers assisted with the activities.
Mrs, Driver, Molly Cox, Norman Speir, Cecil Skinner and
Jerry Collins provided the old tyme music. Morgan Dalton
sang a solo number and helped to leadthe sing -a -long.
John Stev ley a member of the Clinton Legion Pipe Band
showed a film on Family Night of the tournament of roses
parade at Pasedena Californidfhe one part of the film told the
story of the parade from its inception and was brought to this
area by the Mass Pipe Bands of South Western Ontario. The
tournament is of special interest to the residents of this area
this year as the mass bands plan to take part in the parde on
January 2, 1978.'
The annual bazaar sponsored by the Huronview Auxiliary
was quite successful on Wednesday afternoon and was well
patronized by the public.
Mrs, Shirley Proutey of Exeter conducted the weekly bible
study accompanied at the organ by Mrs. Finkbeiner,
Reverand Pierce of Crediton assisted with devotions and Mrs.
Pierce sang a solo number.

Collectfor UNICEF
When you're only six years old
and it's your first Hallowe'en for
UNICEF, those "buts" can really
hurt. Like "1 meant to get some
change but ..." Or "Sure I care'
about kids but ..."
Those little spooks and goblins,
with their orange and black
UNICEF boxes, are going to be
feeling a little scared but very
proud when they arrive at your
door. They know that only 7c
collected in their box buys
antibiotic ointment to save a child
from blindness. , Or 30c buys
enough Vitamin A and d to
supplement the diet of an under-
nourished child for 4 months. It's
a small amount to us but through
the magic of UNICEF those
amounts can mean the difference
between life and death to a small
child somewhere in this world.
So at Hallowe'en, when your
doorbell rings and the young
voices call "Trick or Treat for
UNICEF", , please don't give
them any "buts"

that was selected as being the
most important was "the ..
strengthening of Christian faith".
If this survey is a fair indication of
people's needs, then the matter
of a vital faith is on the minds of
many.
How can we have a living and
growing faith? In the New
Testament letter of II Thessa-
lonians we find light for our
questioning, There in 1:3 the
Thessalonian members of the
church are spoken of as having a
faith that is "growing
abundantly." We all would like to
have such a faith. What is there
about the Thessalonians that we
can learn?
In the first four verses, we find
at least three clues. One is that
they had love for one another, It
says, "And the love of every one
of you for one another is
increasing." Love is one of the
essential qualities of the Christian
life. The capacity to love comes
from God, "We love, because he
first loved us." (1 John 4:19) In
receiving that love and exercising
it towards others, a love which is
patient, kind, forgiving and self -
giving; we add to our faith, Faith
and love go together, If we
believe in God, then it follows
that we should love others as He
loves.
A second point in the
flourishing faith of the Thessa-
lonians is that they were being
steadfast in times of difficulty. '
The Thessalonians were being
persecuted on account of their

faith andstyle of life. It was a real
test of their faith. They did not
give up, however, but remained
true to God. And God was with
them, giving them grace to
endure their afflictions, Testing
can be a time of strengthening.
When our faith is tried, we are all
the more to rely on God and He
will bring us through to a stronger
faith and to greater rejoicing in
Him.
And the third point is that the
Thessalonians were real
Christians, In the first verse of
the letter, they are addressed as
men and women who are in God
and our Lord Jesus Christ. We
cannot have a growing faith until
we first have a genuine faith, Our
•
faith as Christians and people of
the church is obtained as a gift
from God through accepting
Jesus Christ as our SI aviour and
Lord, "By grace are we saved
through faith; and this is not our
own doing, it is the gift of God."
(Ephesians 2:8) "Since we are
justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ." (Romans 5:1) A real at.Bi
developing faith can be yours
through Christ, And then by
learning to love and to endure, we
can have a growing faith,

THE BLY .TH STANDARD, OCTOBER

Opposition presses economy
By Murray Gaunt
The Fall Session of the Ontario.
Legislature opened on the 17th of
October, with the installation of
. Jack Stokes; MPP (Lake Nipigon)
as Speaker,
Premier Davis called for a
full-scale federal -provincial
conference on economic recovery,
and dislosed the latest bad news
on the provincial economy.
Ontario's projected cash deficit
has worsened during the past
month and is now $1.45 billion for
the current fiscal year - an
increase of $375 million or 34%
since the April budget.
The Government's program for
the fall session includes: a bill
allowing municipalities to limit
removal of topsoil from good
farmland; reforms of family law,
including provision for support
and sharing of assets upon
marriage breakdown; regulation
of body -rub parlours; compre-
hensive occupational health and
safety legislation; postponement
for yet another year . of the
controversial province -wide
property reassessment; and
possible introduction of a bill to
prevent Ontario companies from
refusing to deal with Jewish
'companies in order to comply
with an Arab boycott.
Opposition parties have made it
clear that central issues for them
will be the economy, particularly
job creation, and Ontario Hydro's
nuclear generation program.
Liberal Leader Stuart Smith
called for a new budgetary
statement in the light of the latest
progress report which shows the
Government's earlier predictions
to have been "disastrously
wrong": He has also charged that
the government helped to create
present economic problems by its
irresponsible spending, that it
now seems paralyzed and unable
to effect the necessary cures, and
he has suggested a four -point
program to cope with the
situation, including an industry -
by -industry review of the
strengths, weaknesses and
potential growth, combined with
stimulation of labour-intensive
small business.
A but introduced by John
Eakins, MPP (Victoria-Halibur-
ton) guaranteeing small
businesses 40 per cent of all
provincial Government contracts
for goods, services and property,
was approved in principle by
the Legislature this week . The
unusual second -stage approval
for an opposition member's bill
means that it will advance to
clause -by -clause consideration in
theHouse at a later date,
Plans for a program to make
available up to $100 -million in low
interest loans for home insulation
and weather proofing have been
abandoned by the Ontario
Government. In this connection,
Liberal Energy Critic Julian Reed
has accused the government of
flying directly in the face of its
own financial restraint policies by
scrapping the program, because
titer is conclusive proof that it is
infinitely cheaper to lend money
for home insulation than to
capitalize new generating
capacity to meet excessive
demands; A number of U.S.
Help Legion work: Buy poppies
Blyth Legion 420 has purchased
two new wheelchairs this year.
These chairs are available to the
Legion for loan to area residents
free of charge. The new chairs
have been made available
through the 1976 Poppy
Campaign.
We also have a hospital bed '

utilities have 'themselves made
loans to customers for home
insulation because this is more
profitable than building
additionalenerators.
1 asked the Minister of Colleges
and Universities if he would set
up a meeting between the
Ministry, Ontario Hydro and
Canada Manpower to see if a
crash program can be
implemented to train chemical
operators for the nuclear
program, rather than bring
trained people into the country
from overseas, While at the same
time we are suffering such high
unemployment, particularly
among y oung people, it would be
appropriate to train our own
citizens here in the province for
these technical jobs. The Minister
indicated he would set up such a
meeting, although he had some ..
doubts about the possibility of a is}�
crash course. He would,
however, pursue the matter.

20—THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 26, 1977
This is a photo of the McElroy home.
As nearly as can be determined, the house was built in the
1880's.
It is uncert ain who built the'red brick portion of the house,
William Moutray, Harvey Garniss's grandfather built the white
brick part at the rear.
In 1904, the house was sold to William Johnston by Mr,
Moutray. Mr. Johnston built a two-storey barn on the property.
Melda McElroy's mother bought the house in 1920 from Mrs.
William Bell and family and it has been in the McElroy family
ever since.When Miss McElroy's mother bought the house, it
had a front -centre hall, a pantry, and a staircase in the middle of
what is now the livingroom. While this area has been opened by
removing partitions, the livingroom still has its original knotty
pine floors.
The front door and the semi -circled window frame above it are
original. The back kitchen, kitchen and dining room still have
wainscotting. The kitchen which used to be larger than it is now
once had seven doors leading from it. Another unusual thing
about the house is that it has three separate verandahs.
Although not much information can be found about the
Melda McEloty house, an interesting item about it did appear in
the Blyth Standard on May 8, 1968.
The article in the Standard read as follows:
"The following article appeared in Saturday's London Free
Press and has caused considerable interest in the community,
We have rather unsuccessfully tried to gather information about
the late Mr. Ross.
"Robert Somers has been the only one we have contacted that
has in any way enlightened us on the subject. Bob says he can
remember a Jack Ross who lived in the house now owned by
Miss Melda McElory. The gentleman had three sons, and the
meth who died at an early age. As Bob recalls it, her maiden
r, toe ,ti.is Stewart.
" .I any event we can revel in the knowledge that Blyth has
pn)duced a native son who extracted considerable money from
the States. It's kind of a nice switchabout isn't it?"
The Free Press article continued:
"If you want to make a million collars from scratch you might
follow the example of Canadiarr porn Donald C. Ross, who died
at Fargo, N.D. a year agr. a The age of 106.
' "He lived inconspicuously iii :i hotel room. He smoked a pipe,
but didn't drink. He never married.
"His daily routine included visits to a local brokerage office,
where he studied the stock market and talked to everyone who
had any knowledge about business and industry.
"He guarded his heath fanatically.
After his death in May, 1967, the executors of his estate,
following the instruction of his will, converted his holdings into
cash. They totalled $1,100.000. Almost half of it was willed to
eight charitable organizations, the remainder to relatives.
"Ross was born November 28, 1860.in Blyth, Ontario, one of
three boys and three girls. His mother was said to have died at
an early age and he was reared by his grandfather in Michigan.
He came to North Dakota in 1881, settling south of Fargo, and
held farming interests off and on throughout his life. He also
taught school early in his life.
"Ross took a job as second man at a grain elevator. When the
manager quit, Ross took over. About the same time he took over
the management of a lumber yard, He handled both jobs during
the 1880's.
"He saved his money and borrowed some and put it into land,
said an old time acquaintance years later. "He built up quite a
farming operation."
"During the first World War when wheat was $3 a bushel and
land prices soared, Ross sold his farm and embarked on the
development of a subdivision in Minneapolis. In the 1930's he
returned and reinvested in farm land."
So the house has at least one story to tell and probably many
more that we don't know about but if anybody has more
information about Miss McElroy's house, please let us know,
We're also grateful to Joan VanDen Broeck research assistant
in a heritage study of the village of Blyth in helping out with the
time period of the house.

"I hear
there's been
some
changes in
Unemployment Insurance.
What's the story?"
New legislation has changed some of
the ground rules of our UI program.
In general, the rules of eligibility
and payment have been improved. Now
they more accurately reflect the ease or
difficulty of finding and keeping a job in
the region in which each UI claimant
lives.
Parliament has decided that people
who live in areas of high unemployment
will be given certain advantages over
those who live where jobs are more
plentiful.
"That's allwell and good.
But what does it mean to
the person who just lost a job?"
On December 4, the entrance
requirements will change.
In regions of low unemployment,
claimants will need up to 14 weeks of
insurable employment to get UI benefits.
This will only happen in places where it's
easier to get and keep a job.
In regions of high unemployment,
claimants will need as little as 10 weeks
to qualify.
But until December 4, the entrance
requirement remains at eight weeks
wherever you live.
"Does all this affect
the waiting period?"
No. The basic two week waiting
period remains the same everywhere.
And so do the rules about setting the
waiting period when a claimant has left
his or her job for no good reason or been
fired for misconduct. In such cases, a
claimant may have to wait up to eight
weeks from when employment ends until
benefits become payable.
"And how long can you get
benefits for?"
The old maximum was 51 weeks.
The new maximum is 50 weeks.
But since September 11, the total
number of weeks for which a claimant
qualifies also reflects the unemployment
rate in his or her region.
Right now, we measure unemploy-
ment by dividing Canada into 16
economic regions. Later, in 1978, we will
fine-tune the program to 54 regions so
that UI will be even more closely related
to local labour market conditions.
"Do you still get the same
amount of money?"
Absolutely. The UI benefit rate is
two-thirds of your average weekly insur-
able earnings.
The maximum is $147, less tax.
"Then
there's
maternity,
sickness and
age 65 benefits.
Any changes there?"
Sickness benefits were only payable
during the first 39 weeks of the claim.
Now they are payable at any time during
the entire benefit period.
Maternity benefits of 15 weeks and
the special one-time benefit (equal to
three weeks' benefits) at age 65 remain
the same.
The same people will still pay for
the program inee sane ' roportions, and
thees of em o nsurable for UI
typ ymen
remains the same, too.
"Lots
of other
countries
have unem-
ployment
insurance.
What's so
good about our system?"
Canada has one of the most compre-
hensive UI programs in the western
world.
It has a relatively short entrance
period and pays benefits longer. And
almost all Canadians share in the cost and
benefit of the program.
By reducing the financial shock of
people's movement from one job to
another, unemployment insurance has
helped to keep our workforce adaptable
to today's rapidly changing social and
economic conditions;
"Sure. But what about the
cost to Canadians?"
Certainly, the dollar figures are high.
This year's UI payout to Canadians will
approach four billion dollars.
But consider that figure in light of
the ultimate benefits to the country.
The UI program gives temporary
financial aid to hundreds of thousands of
Canadians while they're between jobs.
"Isn't UI really just another
kind of welfare?
Far fro Welfarit9ney is paid
only according to need.
Unemployment insurance money is
paid accoratig to eligibility �.or
Its like any other kind
of insurance.
If you've worked in insurable employ-
ment and a situation arises which entitles
you to make a claim, that claim will be
settled as quickly and courteously as
possible.
"Well, what do you do about
cheaters and abuse?"
There are fewer cheaters and abusers
than some would have you believe.
Outright criminal fraud is dealt with
through conventional channels.
Some people abuse the system
without even knowing it. Here, and at
times when the abuse is not really crim-
inal in nature, we have our own staff to
handle the problems.
In any case, the vast majority of UI
claimants deal with us as fairly as we try
to deal with them.
"How
about when
I make
a claim
and you say
"no"?
If you have good reason to disagree
with any decision a UI agent makes on
your claim, you have the right to appeal
that decision to an independent and
impartial board of referees, or then to an
Umpire of the Federal Court.
You can go to the appeal hearing and
be represented by anyone you wish.
And if new information comes to
light before or during the appeal, you can
go back to your agent and ask for a
review of the decision. And the whole
appeal process is free.
Remember, our job is to pay you all
the benefits you are entitled to.
"OK,
what do
you have
to do while
you're receiving benefits?"
Your Unemployment Insurance
office can ask you to carry out what we
call a formal "Active Job Search". Your
agent will want to know what you're
doing to find suitable and gainful
employment while you're getting your
cheques.
But no matter what happens, you
should keep looking seriously for a new
job and follow any instructions your UI
office or Canada Manpower Centre gives
you. Your right to continuing benefits
depends on it.
If you'll do your job, we'll do ours.
"Some people say
Unemployment Insurance is too
tough. Some say you're too soft.
What do you say?"
Our policy is to be neither "tough"
nor "soft".
On one hand, we have a responsi-
bility to pay all those who are eligible the
full amount to which they are entitled.
And to do so quickly and courteously.
On the other hand, we have an
equally important responsibility to the
public to make sure the UI program is
not abused. Those who defraud the
program are stealing money right out of
your pockets.
It's a policy of balance. As you
know, you can't please all the people all
the time.
"Policies
are fine
and dandy.
But
what about
when you
get into a
real UI office?"
People in UI offices are selected and
trained to deal pleasantly, fairly and effi-
ciently with the public.
They're not there to handle claims
or inquiries according to whim. They
follow the rules laid down by Parliament.
Each case is considered individually
on the facts. The UI agent's job is to
make sure that each claimant gets all the
benefits to which he or she is entitled.
In spite of this, they can make a
mistake. It could be a straight error, or be
caused by insufficient information. But
most of the time, everything works fine.
"Let's talk efficiency.
How does your operation compare to,
say a regular insurance company?"
Some people think we're too easy
and permissive about paying claims.
Others think we're harsh, unfeeling
bureaucrats.
At any given moment, UI has over
10 million `policy holders'. By any
criteria we'll gladly compare our adminis-
trative efficiency with any insurance
operation in Canada.
So, people have mixed views about
us. The only way we can really win is to
go on running the program fairly,
humanely and carefully.
"How, then, would
you describe the UI program?"
It's just what it says: an insurance
program. It provides temporary financial
support when you're out of work. It's not
a way of life. While you're on UI, you
must be actively looking for a job.
That's your job. Our job is to pay
UI benefits to all those entitled to get.
them, as quickly, courteously and effi-
ciently as we know how.
It's all a matter of co-operation.
The Unemployment Insurance Commission and the
Department of Manpower and Immigration have become
the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission.
For a time, you'll still see our local offices identified as
Unemployment Insurance offices or Canada Manpower
Centres. When they're together in one location, they'll be
called Canada Employment Centres.
