Value of grade 13 to be researched The Huron County Board of Education supported a resolution Monday to research the elimina- tion of Grade 13 from Huron County schooling but refused to support any move to eliminate a year of formal education in county schools without thoroughly researching the complications. Acting on a resolution sent to the board by the Peterborough County Board of Education the Huron board agreed to study the eli mination of Grade 13 but refused to support such a move without researching the subject. The Peterborough resolution stated that "with the objective of reducing the number of years of formal education at the elementary and secondary level, be it resolved that the Peter- borough board of education ask the Ontario Public School Trustees' Association and the Ontario School Trustees' Council to co-operate with the Government of Ontario to research the educational merits, problems and impact of telescoping courses of study to 12 grades above kindergarten instead of 13, the costs savings involved in the above and the social impact of such a move". Address presents a challenge In his remarks at the Blyth Remembrance Day Service Rev. Ted l-loogsteen called on the community to erect a memorial of stone to the war dead of the area so that they will not become unknown soldiers. His address follows: "After the Great War, the one war to end all wars, memorials were erected to the unknown soldier. Soldiers and governments built the memorials, cenotaphs, lest the nations Auburn care taker resigns Trustee Board chairman Warner Andrews presided for the November meeting held on Saturday, November 12th in the Town Hall. The trustees accepted the resignation of Mrs. Wilfred Sanderson as caretaker and Sandy Andrews was appointed to secure a replacement. Trustees were told that the village coloured Christmas tree lights will be turned on early in December. Wilfred Collinson will be asked tokeep the water reservoirs and fire hall and library free of snow during the winter months and snow removal on the village streets was discussed. Chairman Warner Andrews will enquire into the matter. The band hoped that more information concerning new street lights would be available at the next meeting. throughout Europe and North America forget the bloodshed and death, the mutilation, the pain, the homelessness, the hunger, caused by the stupidities of war. In that War Canadian men died, or were mutilated in mind and body. But the war to end all wars (Continued on Page 20) Director of Education John Cochrane told the board that he would reonlmend that the platter beresearched but was leary of the objective outli ped in the Peter- borough resolution. He said he would like to see the word objective taken out of the resolution and have the Fl uron board show support for a study of the matter. Cochrane said he felt the resolution was five years too late, 'minting out• that five years ago the board was trying to solve overcrowding problems using portable classrooms. Now, he said, the hoard is trying to find ways to fill schools due to decli ning enrolment. "1 hope the board wouldn't support the resolution without researching it and having a look at the social implications of shipping youngsters off to university: at. 16 and 17 years of age," he said. Seaforth trustee John Henderson didn't agree with the director, pointing out that students in Grades 12 and 13 waste a lot of time in school arid that their timetables almost make them half time students. He said the students go to Grade 13 and don't need many credits for university entrance and the board is just prolonging the agony for a student who is anxious to go on to post secondary education. Goderich District institute Principal John Stringer, a guest at the board meeting, said ite believed Grade 12 and 13 time- tables were more than half time adding that Grade 13 was a very heavy year for a student. He said he had to agree with the director that this was not a good time to support elimination of Grade 13, adding that he hoped the board's decision was based on valid educational reasons rather than politics.

You nano it and we've been assaulted by it. It all began with the Beatles, I reckon, this adulation of youth. And now it's The Fonz, a portrayal of a young hood, that gets the headlines. To be over 40, in the last couple of decades, has been just this side of being dead, as the media, the entertainment world, and business, salivated over youth. Well, it's kind of nice to sec that a lot of the old timers are still in their pitching, despite thedcluge of juvenilia. It was a bit of a jolt to hear of the sudden death of Bing Crosby recently, at age 74. But the Old Crooner was still giving some class to the shoddy world of show biz right ftp to the end. Octogenarian John Diefenbaker has published another book of his memoirs. Haven't read it yet, but it's said to be as delightfully malicious and wrong-headed as the first volumes. Morley Callaghan, well into his 70s, recently published a new novel, to critical acclaim. Callaghan, one of our finest writers, isn't getting older, he's getting better. Ignored or sneered at for years by fellow Canadians, he just kept hacking away at his vocation of being a first-class writer. Just finished a novel, The Intruders, by Hugh Garner, and although parts of it are bad, when the dialogue becomes polemical, he still has that sure touch of realism, an car for the talk of ordinary pcoplc, and the ability to tell a good story. Garner is no chicken either. Must be in his 60s, about half way. Scott Young, another cracking good writer, has abandoned a daily column of trivia, with which even he was becoming bored, and has gone back to writing what he does best -honest sports stories ,He's over 60. Pierre 'I'rudcau is not yet an ancient combattant, but he had his 58th recently, and is certainly no pushover for the young blood -thirsty wolves in the political pack, an anyone tubo watched the opening of Parliament could see. And how about the Queen. She is no teenager, and she's beginning to show it, but when it comes to poise and grace and charm, very few of the young chicks can hold a candle to her. One of my colleagues, a former officer in the German Army, is into his 60s, but could out -ski, out -swim, and out -walk most of the staff members 30 years younger. have another friend, about 70, who could out -think, out -drink, and out -swear 98 per cent of omen in their 20s. My father-in-law was a little disappointed to learn this year that a by-law had been passed stating that retirement was compulsory at 65, and he'd lose one of his jobs. He's 85 and is quite bewildered when he hears talk of young fellas in their early 60s who can hardly wait to retire. Played golf with an old, gray-haired geezer a few weeks ago. He is retired, but only because of a heavy heart attack. He plays 18 holes a day and then knocks back a few whiskies before dinner. His score was 88, mine was 108. He swims all suninter and bowls twice a week in the winter, as well as working like a navy around his home. don't really know what I'm getting at here. Maybe i'nm just sick of the youth -worship cult to which we've all been exposed (including the young) for far too long. Maybe I'm tired of living on a continent and in a culture in which the very people who were the salt of this country's earth are shuffled off, without honour and without shame, into places that are called things like Sunset Rest, Final Heaven -everything but Last Chance Saloon. Maybe I'm fed up with the interminable excuses, sloppy service and half-assed work we receive from so many young pcoplc whose grandparents and parents gave full measure, and believed in such hoary adages as "A job worth doing is worth doing well," I sometimes wonder why we are so eager, in this country, to slough off the wealth of experience and wisdom our elders have to offer in our society. Why aren't the older tradesmen used as teachers, at a decent remuneration, to pass on their skills to the half-baked young tradesmen we so often encounter when we want a job done? 'there is a crying need for more day-care centres in this country. Why aren't they filled with volunteer grannies, who could love and pct and teach the children, as only they do so well? Nope. It's easier to sweep therm under the carpet: into lonely rooming houses, nursing honks, senior citizens apartments, or, in extreme cases, the Senate. We don't want to sec wrinkles and white hair and trembling hands or mouths. We want everything to be the way it is on TV. Well, don't try to shuffle this ole boy off, when the time. comes. 1 intend to go right on being arbitrary and obnoxious. Unless I'm offered a seat in the Senate. Through buying Canadian Agriculture given boost "We have here in Ontario the means to get our economy back on track. By stimulating our healthy industries, such as agr'icultur'e, we can create more product. more sales and more jobs," Peter Hannam, President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, told the Hamilton Kiwanis Tuesday. Mr. Harman, pointed out that the Ontario Government had taken the first steps towards stimulating agriculture: "First, there is the recent announcement by Ilene new Ontario Minister of Correctional Services. the Honourable Frank Urea. NIr, Diva is r eplacing citrus juices with Canadian fruit juices - apple, tomato, grape - in all the institutions under his jurisdiction. "What a positive move! OFA asked in its Annual Brief to the Ontario Cabinet, last April that it be a matter of Government policy that only Canadian foods be served in government institutions, wherever possible. 'this is the first move in that direction and we applaud Mr. Drca." Mr. Hannam was also encouraged by the "Buy Ontario Food" program that the Ministry of Agriculture and Food is just beginning, "By nlakim, consumers more aware of Ontario products, that campaign will stimulate demand ;old place more money in farmers ' pockets. The results will reverberate THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 16, 1977 —3 Maitland teleservices upgrades service with buried cable throughout the economy."

For a free estimate and a loot; at our newest samples of materials — CALI. ' "Put Your Upholstering Needs In Our Hands" Blyth, Ont, WE HAVE FREE PICK-UP AND DELIVERY SERVICE A construction program started this fall by Maitland Teleservices is nearing completion. The program has involved installation of buried cable and service wires on the 9 and 10 concessions and 15 and 16 concessions of Grey Township, the 3 and 4 concessions of Morris Township as well as in the Ethel arca. 'ihe 35 miles of cable and approximately 12 miles of service wire was placed by The Telephone Cable and Wire Company. The cable at a cost of approximately $250,000, addi- tional switching equipment that also was required will cost approximately $50,000 additional. According to officials the construction program will provide Maitland Teleservices customers with a more reliable service but will not reduce the present line loads. However, on the 9 and 10 concessions of Grey an improved grade of service will result since a large cable has been placed from the switching centre to service this arca. Maitland Teleservices do not plan any further expenditure at this time to reduce line loads. To do this, it was indicated a further expenditure of 5500,000 would be required. ri x figFiSA 3tgi 3tA 3tZ MtxSAxsA3 3 3 PS.1F s 3sj3 ELECTRONIC SHARP CASH REGISTER w 'A u g featuring 'Automatic Tax Computation' li sg • Simultaneous print out of re• Mceipt and journal tape """' • Change calculation""� 'c j M • Repeat calculation GI m• Grand sales total, tax _ total and sales total of each customer 1 • Convenient check and `j settlement+; W,j _ • •-. .a • Input buffer register M• Overflow error �c ys check device.

Parents are responsible A case is coming before the courts in Bruce in which the Children's Aid Society is prosecuting parents who left their 12 year old child without adequate supervision over a weekend. The penalty for a first offence of this nature is a fine of not more than $100 and for a second and subsequent offences a fine of not more than $200. However, there also can be imprisonment of up to one year in jail. This is one of many similar cases that are occurring as a result of parents failing to look after their children in an adequate fashion. While it is something we think of as arising only in urban areas where both parents are working, the problem by no means is limited to that extent. Children are left to attend to themselves on their return from school. Many children carry the keys of their homes with them so they can let themselves in after school or whenever they decide to go home. Legislation is designed to protect unattended children and any person leaving a child for an unreasonable length of time without sufficient supervision may be dealt with through the courts While the age of the child is normally under 10 years of age, all children are protected. Perhaps we don't pay enough attention to problems such as this. But with an increase in incidents and a determination on the part of those in authority to take full advantage of legislation, parents well may think more carefully justlwhat their responsibilities are. After all, they owe it to their children. Marsh World iv NEST --AIR SHAFT SNOW LIVING UNDER THE SNOW — Although ducks and geese can fly south in the fall, small mammals such as voles which inhabit our meadows and marsh edges must stay and brave the long winter. These mammals escape the harshness of winter tempera- tures and winds by living under the snow. They build warm nests and networks of tunnels, which may include air shafts to the outside for ventilation. Snow is a poor conductor of heat and acts as an insulator. Temperatures under deep snow have been recorded to be from 15°C to 32°C warmer than the air temperatures above. Ducks Unlimited (Canada) 1495 Pembina Hwy, Winnipeg, Man. R3T 2E2 © '77 -209 The First Train Coming Through The CPR Arch Blyth, Ontario by Keith Roulston Times are tough all over A week or so ago i heard where many of the criminal lawyers arc quitting their practices because they feel the legal aid system in Ontario is unjust to them. One explained that the lawyers have to work at a fixed rate and have to give part of their fee as their donation to the legal aid program. That means, one lawyer explained, that the lawyer gets only about $25 per hour on legal aid cases. But of that fee, he cried, costs such as office overhead and salaries to secretaries and other staff meant the lawyer ended up with only alxntt half of the $25 per hour, The part that really made me chuckle was that one of the la wycrs quoted in the nCWS story said he was getting out of criminal law to write novels. This guy must know something I don't. The last I heard writers, the vast majority in this country anyway, weren't earning anything like the $12.50 per hour that lawyers are left after expenses. Most of my friends who are writers arc lucky to get $12.50 a week. They write, not for money, but because they love what they're doing. They do that fever they have to to get by financially so Will they can find the time to write. I expect some of them may have died laughing after hearing about the problems of our lawyers. I don't expect medals for the writers of the country for their dedication to their jobs. What 1 think is sad is that they stand out so much these days because there seems to be so little dedication in so many other fields of work. It isn't just the lawyers, who once seemed to have a sense of protecting the underdog, but now scent more worried about looking out for Number One. There was an article in a Toronto newspaper recently about a former Ontario doctor now living in the southern U.S. who was inviting his friends to "come on down". He was earning $250,000 a year and only working until noon each day. Many doctors have been heeding the call and heading south because they feel hard used that under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan they can't ea rn the huge salaries American doctors do. They aren't starving, mind you, but they can't live at the level to which doctors have become accustomed, Many teachers too in recent years have taken the attitude that sure, quality of education is important, but the quality of the pay cheque comes first. It's an attitude reflected in nearly every business, trade and profession in this country. It's a sickness that if not cured, will soon drive the nation into the ground. People seem to forget so easily, that though things may seem hard, they're really a piece of cake compared to what other countries have faced or what we've faced ourselves in tines past. I heard one idiotic union leader the other day compare the Canadian situation at present , to the crisis in Germany after World War One. How ridiculous. Our inflation is less than 10 per cent per year. Inflation was so bad in Germany that they had to take wheelbarrow loads of paper Honey to buy a loaf of bread. 'ihe other day on the radio i heard interviews with 10 people from across the countryasking how they would compare their standard of living today with that before ‘vage and price controls were installed. Only one was honest enough to say that his standard oI' living today was as good or better than two years ago. The others seemed to forget that two years ago we faced 12 per cent inflation, and that \chile inflation is not as low as the g,ovcrnment hoped, it's still a lung way below 12 per cent. In the sane period average wage settlements have exceeded the inflation rate by a healthy margin. Some people no doubt are worse off, but nine out of 10?. Whether you're for or against the controls, let's be honest enough to admit they haven't hurt the average Canadian. If people can't even honestly renieniher two years ago, how are we supposed to make them remember what things were like in really bad times, like the Depression or the war years. We've just passed Remembrance Day and I wonder how many people, even those who lived through the horror of the war really remembered. I've heard people liken the present economic situation to the Depression y cars. 1 wasn't around then, but somehow can't believe that we're any where close to the hardships that millions faced in those years. 'ihe thing is that hard as the Depression and the War Years were, they taught Canadians to be grateful for what they had. We were a hungry nation then, worried about the very basics of life: food, clothing a place to live, and for the men at war, even survival itself. Today we've come so far from those basic needs that we've become lost in a fog of prosperity, lost to the point we don't even know how fortunate we are. We sec pictures every day of some of the millions of people in the world that live without the very basics of life but somehow we manage to shut those pictures off from our own reality. It seems that without experiencing hunger, cold, and sheer desperation to keep on living, for ourselves, we can't realize that instead of grumbling about our petty troubles, we should rejoice in our wealth. Counting your blessings in Canada has become as passe as stove -pipe hats. Must we face another bleak depression, another war to pull Canadians away from their present path of greed? It seems a horrible cure but unless we can pull ourselves out of our present self-centred attitude, I don't see much else saving us. Feature: folk THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 16, 1977 —5 Blyti weaver uses natural dyes By Debbie Ranney Spinning and weaving arc two hobbies that take up the time of Mrs. "Toni Vos of Blyth. She became interested in spinning a few years ago but didn't have a spinning wheel. Then one year when her husband went to Australia he picked up a spinning \vhccl and that's how she got started. She has been spinning, since 1972. Vos said she was lucky lhrl•c was a hook with the spinning wheel on how 10 spin because she didn't know how to spin al the time. She later bought an automatic knitting machine which didn't work out because you need smooth yards for ;1 knitting machine and her varil had humps in it so she gave up doing that. Then when Mrs. Vos's daughter got married, it just happened that her mother-in-law. Mrs. Evelyn Hardy ()I' Goderich was a weaver. 130th Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. Vos went to Huntsville to take some lessons. Mr's. Vos who was doing spinning at the time, wanted lessons on how t0 (lye wool and Mrs. Hardy took some more lessons on weaving. Mrs. Vos was looking over Mrs. Hardy's shoulder \viten she took the lessons so she picked up some ICSSfTIS 011 weaving as well. Mrs. l'os's first weaving experience was using the hackstrap loom which is the way the Indians (lid it. From the hackstrap 100111 she graduated t0 a box 100111 which is .just a square that you h01(1 on your lap. After that. Mrs. Vos says she tlxik a big step and bought a four hameSs 100111. Evelyn H au'dy coached her along and she gut a couple of good hooks on the subject and she also learned by trial and error. For her spinning and •\yeaying, Mts. Vos uses nature -dyed yarns. She uses materials such as ragweed and goldenrod, elder- berries and their leaves, marigold flowers, milkweed pods, lichen, rhubarb, leaves and fungus. She spins and weaves with cotton and nylon and she has even spun with dog hair. Mrs. Vos makes placenlats, wall hangings, plant hangers, stoles, ponchos and rugs. Some of the following definitions should he noted in order to understand the war Mrs. Vos sloes her weaving:'.' Warp; thread; Heddles; lengths of metal, wire I11' String 1hal are suspended between the harnesses. They give a centre hoop, or eye through 'which the warp yards passes: Reed: comb. like device inserted in the heater. 11 spaces the warp in slot s Balled delfts. according to the width and density that is called for in the finished fabric.

The sine indicates the Number of dents per inch and is engraved in the first metal bar on the short side of the reed: Beater; with the reed inserted in it, it heats the filling down; Shuttle: holds filling Harnesses: the horizontal bars between which the peddles are strung. These definitions were taken from a book ailed Step -by -Step Weaving by Nell Znamierowsk1. Once you have mastered the definitions involved in the weaving, the weaving itself is a step-by-step process using these Ux115. Mrs. Vos has appeared at various craft shows to sell some of her material. She's been at craft shows in Palmerston, Seaforth, To the Editor: NOW WHICH THREAD NEXT — Mrs. Toni Vos is busy with her four harness loom. When she started spinning yarn it was too nubby to knit with so she took a big step and bought the harnessloom.

But thousands of people took up the challenge of coping with the mud, and most events took place as planned, the Frontenanc County organizers say. The official opening ceremonies were carried o111 on schedule ‘with Flora MacDonald presiding, and the plowing competitions went very \well ‘with an extremely good turnout. Attendance figures reached between 90,000 and 100,000 including several bus tours from the U.S.A. An estimated 4,000 people rented accommodations in and around the Kingston area for the entire wreck of the Plowing Match. Although the daily parades had to be cancelled because of conditions, and the Match was not as financially successful as was expected, the Ontario Plowmen's Association took action wherever possible to improve problem situations. By providing tractors to pull exhibitors and visitors in and out of the tented city and parking areas, the O.P.A. kept the problem of nlobililty to a minimum. Over 450 exhibitors set up shop along the streefs ofthe tented city and throughout the week of the Plowing Match they reported fewer but better leads from interested visitors. Machinery Row exhibitors saw Targe crowds every clay of the Match and the organizers of the Ladies Programs reported full houses for each showing. The county and historic exhibits were among the best ever offered at the International Plowing Match. It appears that indoor events are more likely to receive the attention and appreciation they deserve whenoudoor conditions leave something to be desired, the organizers say. Despite adverse conditions participants, visitors and local businessmen drew enjoyment and benefits from the 1977 Interna- tional Plowing Match, the committee feels. The 1978 international Plowing Match & Farm Machinery Show will take place September 26-27-28.29-30 on the James Armstrong and neigh- bouring farms east of Wingham on #86 Highway . Hydro increase outrageous: OFA "A 5.7% increase in rural hydro rates is outrageous", said Peter Hannam, President of the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture, in response to the new Ontario Hydro rate structure going into effect on January 1, 1978. Mr. Hannam added, "Urban and industrial rates arc already much lower. The increase in their rates is estimated at under 5'-5 and su the gap will become wider. "This is nothing but blatent discrimination against the farmer and the small town resident. The cities and the big industrial users have big lobbies and lots of political clout. Ontario Hydro gives in to therm and penalizes rural people. "I1' we need a hydro rate increase, so be it. But it should apply to everyone equally. Ontario Hydro is a public utility and it should act in the public interest. It should not just give in to the big lobbies. "What makes this so exasper- ating is that there is no forum for reviewing these rates. This is the only segment of society for which such a review forum does not exist and so Ontario Hydro increases are unilateral decrees. "1 hope rural people will not take this arrogant and insentive way of doing business Tying down. Farmers and small town (') 'Lifestyle is being healthy and doing our best to stay that way. It's taking full advantage of the pleasures of life, but also learning , to repress abuses. it's mod- eration. people should let their M.P.P.'s know what they think about this unfair treatment", concluded Mr. Hannaill. Report from Queen's Park Drinking bill approved 13v Murray Gaunt ,\ Cabinet source said in the early part of the week that the Government would probably not "dare to go through with" legislation to raise the drinking age to 19. 'telegrams and letters have poured into Queen's Park following reports that Govern- ment Members would reject the Private Memlbe•'s Bill of Remo Mancini, M.P.P. (Liberal, Essex South) to raise the drinking age. There have been rumours also that even if the Government did no' oppose the Bill on second reading, it would be allowed to (fie on the order paper at the end of the session, leaving the GoVern Merit 10 introduce its OWn legislation next year. The Premier freed Conservation Members to vote according to their conscience and, as a result, the Bill passed approval in principle. ;111(1 now go for clause by clause consideration. Ontario's minority Conser- vative Government, with Liberal support, withstood a vote of non -confidence in the Legislature this week, over what the New Democratic Party called its failure to take action to deal ‘with planned layoffs by Inc() Ltd. in Sudbury. Liberal Leader Stuart Smith indicated that an election would not solve any of the problems being encountered by the workers in Sudbury, and urged the Provincial Government to take positive steps to alleviate the unemployment which is going to result from this massive layoff. The Ontario Milk Marketing Board and the Old Order Amish have reached a compromise on a ruling that bans the use of cans Rural hydro to increase 5.7% The 800,000 customers served by the Ont ario Hydro rural retail system will be paying an average of 5.7 per cent more for electricity in 1978. Hydro Chairman Robert Taylor said that the incrcas e necessary to cover Hydro's costs next year would have been 9.8 per cent had it not been for extra revenue created by better than expected operating results in 1977. Almost half of the improvement in the 1977 financial position resulted from a substantial increase in export power sales to the United States and reduced cost and administration, operation and maintenance. Corn silage needs 65 to 70% moisture Corn silage should be harvested and ensiled with a moisture content of 65 to 70 percent, but because of the \\ea t her much of this year's crop will be too nature and too dry. Silages containing less than 60 percent moisture result in lower daily intake by cattle and higher risks of spoilage, says Jack Rodenburg, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food dairy cattle specialist. Moisture content of corn silage can be accurately pleasured with a Koster moisture tester or can be estimated on the basis of maturity or grain moisture content. For corn silage harvested at less than 60 percent moisture Mr. Rodenburg recommends rapid filling. To help reduce exposure to air and thereby reduce spoilage, cover the islo with plastic when filling is interrupted. "Getting an acceptable length of cut and proper distribution of material in the silo are also important. The drier the silage the more difficult this becomes." Silage below 60 percent moisture should be cut with the harvester or re -cutter so most of the material is less than one-half inch in length. Although adding water to increase moisture content of 1 silage can be of benefit, large amounts of water are required to make aniy appreciable difference. When unloading a five -ton load of55 percent moisture silage in 10 minutes, a flow rate of one gallon of\\ater per minute increases the moisture content of the silage by only one-quarter percent. Water addition should be done at the flower to ensure a pnlper mix with the silage. " Because of the problems encountered, non -protein nitrogen additives should not be used in silages ensiled al less than 60 percent moisture. Corn containing less than 50 percent moisture should not be ensiled since it will be impossible to prevent serious spoilage." Producers can expect poorer palatability and feed intake when day corn silage is fed tolivestock, says Mr. Rodenburg, and should compensate with other feeds such as grain. "To get the maximum intake, throw out the unconsumed silage at least daily and replace it with fresh feed. Top dressing with molasses at feeding time may also improve intake." Because silage containing less than the recommended level of moisture will spoil more rapidly after removal from the silo, remove small amounts several times each day for immediate feeding. If the silage is moldy, caution is advised. Mr.IRodenburg says that although catty have a considerable ability to consume moldy silage without serious effects, diarrhea and other health problems have occurred in some situations. He recommends test feeding moldy silage with a small group of animals under close observation. "This extra revenue -- now estimated at $108 million -- will be allocated among the 352 municipal utilities, Ontario Hydro's direct industrial customers, and the rural retail systems. Under the anti-inflation guidelines established for hydro by the provincial government, this amount must be returne(i to the customers," Mr. 'Taylor said. The rural retail system's share is currently estimated at approxi- mately $17.8 million. The effect of the increase on individual customers will vary depending on their consumption and classification. For example, a typical residential customer's monthly bill of $35 will increase by approximately $1.75. Details of the rate increase will be mailed to all rural customers. All bills issued after .tan. I will be pro -rated. 1977 rates will apply from the last meter reading this year to Dec. 31. After that, the newly announced 1978 rates will apply. for storing and transporting hulk. William Newman, Minister of Agriculture, told the Legislature that the Amish have agreed to operate hulk milk tanks by gasoline -powered or diesel - powered engines. This will enable the Amish to continue the operation of their dairy farms without electricity, and lays to rest their concern about the survival of their family farms. The Milk Marketing Board and the Amish will meet later this month to discuss concerns about the compromise. Mr. Newman is confident that this solution will safeguard provincial health standards and should not cause undue hardship. Ilealth Minister Dennis Timhrell outlined measures to he taken to keep expenditures in line over the next t\yo years, including further reduction in active treatment beds by increasing out-patient. home and chronic care, and further staff reduction, plainly by attrition, but possibly on occasion by layoffs. Ile said the government has no plans to implement a user deterrent fee for hospital patients. Hospital grants next year are expected to increase, but at a level lower than the rate of inflation. The Ontario Government this week introduced legislation to stop income tax discounters from taking a large share of the customer's tax refund in return for instant cash. This legislation will put most of these income tax discounters out of business. They charged heavily, often up to 50% of the face value of the refund. The new law will limit the discount to 5%, so that the taxpayer must get at (east 95°/u of the anticipated refund. Ontario Hydro's 800,000 rural customers will pay an estimated 5.7% more for electricity next year. This 1978 increase reflects the higher cost to Ontario Hydro of providing service. Earlier this fall, Hydro increased the residential rate, which means the customer served by the municipal utility will sec his monthly hill go up approximately 51.00 per month. • Let us make sure your steering mechanism is doing its job.

If you own an older home that has a porch, enclosing it could give you year-round, extra living space. Some basic essentials such as a roof, foor, supports and one wall already exist. A porch enclosure, therefore, should be a more ecnomical home improvement than an add -a -room project in terms of material, time and labor. All year porch 1'o make aporch enclosure liveable year-round, insulation will have to be added to the floor, walls and Drop the ceiling yourself Dropping the ceiling, That's what many smart decorators are doing to revitalize a room. The ceiling is not as inconspicuous as one might think. A poor -looking ceiling will stick out like a sore 111161114 no matter how great the rest of the room is put together. Dropping the ceiling with acoustical tiles will give it an even , clean surface that will need little or no care. It can also help to soundproof the room, And it's an inexpensive method of covering cracked, rough or stained ceilings yourself! The standard method for installation on rough, uneven ceilings involves nailing up wood furring strips first (strips of wood about 11/2" wide by 3/4" thick), then stapling the tiles to these. Some remodelers use a new type of metal furring. Whatever the method, installation is fairly easy, and there is a wide variety of fashionable tiles on the market to fit into any room decor. Sealer may protect stains There may be some argument over whether it is necessary to use a sealer over a wood stain, but many experts feel that it is preferable. One says that, when the final coat is to be varnished, he uses a coat of shellac diluted 50% with denatured alcohol. However, if the varnish has already been purchased, it is wise to read the label carefully to see whether the manufactturer has made any specific recommendation about the type of sealer, if any, that should be used over stain. That's because there are so many different kinds of varnish on the market thes days that it is important to read the instructions about the compatibility of one product with another. ceiling, a method devised to heat the room - such as baseboard heating - and windows installed. Ample use of windows can retain the advantageous qualities of broad views, fresh air and sunshine that a porch offers. Other benefits Wood windows have additional benefits. The insulating glass in combina- tion with factory -applied weatherstripping and the natural insulation provided by the wood sash and frame guard against excessive heat loss and assure snug closure. Windows of ponderosa pine with insulating glass also put an end to the spirng and fall job of taking down and putting up storms sash. And these units are easier to clean because there are only two surfaces to wash instead of four. do-it-yourselfer following manufacturer's directions. Use of vinyl veneer panels, prefinished with woodgrain Ixrtterns, simplifies the job. The prefinishing process, in which patterns are reverse- printed on the underside of vinyl veneer film that is laminated to particleboard, has another benefit. It keeps produc- tion - and retail - costs low. the panels are extremely sturdy, and can he danlp- l\iped clean.. Details of panel installation may vary a bit kith each manufacturer. 13m, in general, three steps are involved: 1. Preparing the wall. This depends on wall construct - tion. Brick, veneer, masonry and concrete require furring strips backed by polyethy- lene sheathing. Rough spots on dry lath or plaster sh ould be sanded smooth. Stud walls with spaces larger than 16 inches on center need horizontal backing and backing behind GET THAT panel edges. All walls must he "true". 2. Acclimating panels to room conditions. This is done by standing the panels hori- zontally around the room and letting air circulate around them for 48 hours before installation. 3. Allowing for natural expansion after installation. the rule of thumb is to butt panels lightly together, to leave a quarater-inch between panels and floor, and an eighth -inch between panels and ceiling.

We thought four bedrooms would be all we'd ever need." II' any of this sounds familiar, perhaps an account of this woman's solution would be of interest. Her decision was to grow upwards, to finish one end of the attic, adding a roost that would be used as an adult family roost. This relieved pressure on the rest of the house by frcing a downstairs room for use as study and project space for young teen-age children. The project was largely a do-it-yourself undertaking, although the family cntpoycd an electrician and a professional installation man for the heating ductwork. 'Mese jobs \vere scheduled first and once they were out of the was', a subfloor of 5/8 -inch construction grade plywood went down. Framing the walls and ceiling cane next. But before the gypsum board \valls were nailed to the framing, all outside urfaces were insulated with fiber- glass hankers. This is vital not only to retain heal in the winter, but tokeep tempera titre bearable during the summer months when a strong sun is directly Overhead. Once the subfloor and walls were in place, decorating and finishing the rixmt took top priority. The interior design scheme started with the floor covering, selected primarily for texture. Installation was one of the projects on the do-it-yourself list, so it was desirable to select a rough surface effect that would hide scants as well as any possible mistakes. The choice was a tousled mini -shag in which artful placement of subtly contrasting color creates a rich tapestry of texture, on the floor. The carpet cost about $13.95 a square yard and the attic room, ntcaasuring I2 by Ib feet, required just under 22 square yards of fabric. The decision to carpet wall-to-wall was made for two reasons. Functionally, wall-to-wall was the (cast expensive treatment, given the low-cost, unfinished plywood sub floor. Esthetically, \vall-to-wall made the small room scent larger.

Then install batts of fiber glass masonry \vall insulation \vhich are available in 1/4 or inch thicknesses between the furring strips. Finally, staple a polyethy- lene vapor harrier onto the strips and you're ready to add wall board, paneling or \vhatever interior finish you had in mind. You could also use a foil -hacked gypsum board to provide both the vapor barrier and interior finish. Q. I'm building an "A" frame house and I'm not sure what kind of insulation to use or how to install it. Can you help? A. I would recommend using Batts of kraft faced fiber glass insulation, installed between the roof rafters with the vapor barrier facing the interior of the house. You could also use unlaced hafts of fiber glass insulation with 0 polyethy- lene sheet installed just above the finishing surface. Either way, you'll have an excellent vapor barrier which will decrease any chance of moisture condensing on the underside of the roof deck. If possible use 2 x 1Os or 2 x 12s as rafters to properly accommodate the insulation. (We recommend a minimum of 6 -inch -thick, R-19, fiber glass batts.) Also, make sure there is a. ventilation space of 1'/2 to 2 inches between the top of the insulation and the underside of the roof deck.

HOME CARE SECTION — 7B Will the patio or family room you are thinkig of adding to your honk increase the value of your property when it comes time to sell? Home improvements don't always "pay off" in an increased sales price, says a veteran realtor. "'That doesn't mean you should't make improve- ments for family enjoyment" he says, "but it does mean you should be lear about your motives for the new amstruction. " if you planto stay in your home for at least five years, then the eventual selling price is probably not as relevant a consideration today since your investment will pay off in terms of family comfort and ejoymcnt. But, if you think you may be planning a move in the next year or two, then it's important to get a fair assessment of your home's value with and without the improvement. Here are some dos and don't for home owners concerned about maximizing the sales value of their property in the near future. Do: Maintain all the basic elements of your home. Make, sure paint is in good order, that the garage door works, that the roof is sound and the furnace efficient. Don't: Consider staking costly improvements if you are living in a neighborhood of modest homes. A swimming pool, for example, may raise the price of your home beyond the pocketbook of probably buyers who would be interested in living in this neighborhood. Do: Get an evaluation of your home from a reputable real estate broker prior to making improvements. Ask his or her adivce about the probably effect on the sales price after the improvement has been completed. Don't: Neglect the possib le use of the honk's current appraised value as the basis for financing of the home improvement . In the past few years, many homes have increased substantially in value and the improvement might be financed through a new mortgage, based on your home's higher market value. Do: Get at least thre written bids fro reputable retractors on the cost of the roject. project. Don't: Rule out a move to aew home. If the figures you obtain from the contractor and real estate broker don't add up to a sound financial investmcnt, consider moving. You may be able to achieve a better lifestyle for your family, and make a wise financial decision at the sante time. Suspended ceilings Installation of a suspended ceiling can be a weekend do-it-yourself project with remarkable results. For instance, you can lower and modernize an existing ceiling, cover a damaged ceiling, or hide exposed plumbing, wiring and joints as in a basement gameroom. • A little planning is the secret. It can save you stoney in unused or waster material or the nuisance of extra trips to purchase additional materials. An acoustical suspended ceiling is one of the quickest and easiest ways to add new beauty, luxury and quiet to any room. The ceiling system can be installed as near as two inches to an existing ceiling or ceiling joists. What's more, the existing ceiling does not have to be leveled, no fancy carpentry is involved and no special toolls arc needed. In addition, Fiberglas panels absorb up to 85 per cent of noise striking the surface. Panels are lightweight, washable and can be lifted out of the grid for easy access to the overhead. Fiberglas ceiling panels arc supported by metal fr arcing 'members which snap together into a gridwork. the grid is suspended by wires attached to the existing ceiling. Your most important tool is a good , sharp pencil. Sketch a diagram of the ceiling, indicating each panel and lighting fixture. It's easiest to start with a piece of engineering graph paper available at most office supply stores - the little squares already are marked off for you. One square should equal one square foot. Measure the room carefully. Remember, walls are not always straight or parallel even though they may appear to be. The more measurements, the better. Fiberglas acoustical ceiling panels are available in 2 by 2 and 2 by 4 sizes and in several surface patterns. It's important to remember the decorator effects possible. A long narrow room can be made to appear more roomy and larger by installing rectang- ular panels perpendicular to the length of the room. q Light fixtures should be planned at this time and should be indicated in the sketch. To estimate the cost, count the number of panels in the sketch being certain to count border panels as whole panels, Try a new concept in decorating Kitchen decorating has taken on a new concept. A creative person, when faced with the task of redecorating a kitchen, might make the often -used mon: look like an outdoor patio arca. Starting with the walls, put up house shaker shingles. Cover the floors with some wall-to-wall arti- ficial turf - the soft, green indoor/outdoor kind. Brick -like tiles for the spash board area behind the sink complete the look. With such a start, a perso can go even further with idividual accessory ideas, such as wrought ron dinette set or outdoor light fixtures which resemble lampposts. Rain, mud, snow and slush can cause permanent damage to the floor in the entryway of your home. But a minor do-it-yourself project can eliminate this possibility and, at the same time, add an attractive touch to the area. No matter what type flooring you have, a rugged material like ceramic tile is ideal for the entryway. Even an arca as small as ten square feet just inside the door is sufficient for removal of your guests' foul -weather gear, such as rain coats, galoshes and dripping umbrellas. Mud, snow or rain splashed on the tile won't hurt it, and can be cleaned up quickly with a mop or sponge. If your present floor is smooth and sturdy, you will be able to glue the tile directly to it. In case your floor is carpeted, you may wish to cut out a portion just inside the door and replace it with tile. If necessary you may use an undet'ayerment of plywood to level or thicken the subflooring. On most jobs using one - inch square ceremic mosaic t •.iles, there will be no cutting or fitting needed, so it is relataively simple to glue the tiles to the subflooring with a mastic and then fill the joints between the tiles with ground For the ultimate in con- struction, use the newer epoxy materials both for the adhesive and the grou. Special epoxy materials that can be cleaned from tools and other surfaces with warm water have been developed for use with ceramic tiles.

That's cash down the drain! How to fix a leaky faucet. The compression tap is the most conlnlon type found in Canadian honks. The flow of water is regulated by turning a handle which is attached to a threaded spindle. When the spindle is turned clown, the washer or disc attached to the 1)011001 of the spindle is pressed tightly against a smoothly finished ring or ground seal, to shut off the tlo\y of water.

L i-! ..i'-.1'.VaS� In committee system B of E makes changes The Huron County Board of Education made a move at its Monday meeting that should encourage greater involvement of trustees in board business in 1978 and result in more debate during monthly board meetings. The board realigned its committee system dropping the present two crtntittee policy and replacing it with a five committee one. The stove was made after a three-day board seminar held earlier in November. 'Trustees met in a three day private session to review its organization and method of co-operation and agreed to give the five committee system a one-year t rial period to see if it is more effective. Director of Fducation John Cochrane said Monday that the five committee system is designed to stake more members of the board actively involved in board business. He said the new system should encourage more debate during board meetings and should make the public more aware of what the board of education does. Cochrane explained that under the old two committee system the bulk of the board's work was done at the committee level and only involved half the board members. He said seven of the I6 trustees sat on the education committee and seven on the management committee. The vice-chairman usually sat in on one committee's meetings and the chairman on the other. "When a committee made a recommendation to the board to be voted on it already had half the board voting in favor of it without the other half even knowing about it," said Cochrane. "What usually happened is the other half would assume that if the other amtmittec was in favor of it it must be good and voted in favor of it." Committee Responsibility The five committee system was presented to the hoard by Mr. Cochrane after he worked with the four superintendent's roles in the education system. Each committee will consist of a chairman elected by the board and two members appointed by a striking committee made up of the board chairman and vice- chairman and the four elected chairmen. An executive committee will consist of the board chairman and vice -chair man, the past chairman if he or she wishes and one or two members of the board, whichever is required to bring the committee membership to four. Other committees will be the fiscal and property policies committee, the instructional personnel policies committee, the school programs policy committee and the student policies committee. Each will have a chairman and two appinted members. Mr.Cochrane said no trustee will sit on more than one committee ensuring that every trustee has responsibilities to handle. He said the committee will have to review any material offered on a recommendation and then sell it to the board at the regular meeting. It will then be up to the remaining trustees to ask questions on the subject and ensure that the decision will be beneficial to their constituents. "The biggest criticism the board receives is that it tubber stamps things' said Mr. Cochrane. "'This is bound to create more debate removing that criticism " Mr. Cochrane went on record with the board as being opposed to the two committee system. He said the committees were too large and weren't working effectively to stake all the trustees aware of what the hoard was doing. He said he wasn't going to completely condemn the two committee system and say it was ineffective in handling board business, but he would say that he hoped the new system would be better. He said that the recent Huron County 51)091 system evaluation report, which was completed in May, was not the reason the txtard '-'bunged its policy. He pointed out that the report "planked away at communication problems" but it vas not the impetus for the change. The five committee system will 0 on trial for one year and the board will evaluate its results in November of 1978. At the January meeting the committees will be established and 5110111 d be functioning by Fcbruaryof next year. "We'll have to stub our toes and ntakesonte changes as we go along," said Mr. Cochrane. We'll have to sec how it goes." The board also changed the format for its meetings to permit more time during board sessions for debate. Meetings now start at 1:00 p.nt. with committee of the whole and the public portion begins at 2:00 p.m. Now the committee of the whole will m set on the third Monday of each month and that session will be followed by the four comittee meetings, held simultaneously in the board offices. The monthly meetings will begin in public session at 1:00 p.m. on the first Monday of every month.

The Oxford County Board of Education sent a letter to the 1-luron board asking that it support changes in legislation which would result in raising the drinking age. The Oxford board felt the present legislation has resulted in "an unacceptable situation in terms of its effect on health, safety and morality." The request from Oxford was accompanied with comments from Remo Mancini, M.P.P for Essex South, who has introduced a private member's bill in the legislature to have the legal drinking age raised from 18 to 19. The province lowered the drinking age from 21 to 18 in 1971 but in recent years there has been pressure for a raises in the age. Mr. Mancini cited a 1976 Addiction Research foundation Survey showing that among a Value of Gr 13 (Continued from Page 1) Clinton trustee Dorothy Williams said that by abolishing Grade 13 the board may be adding to the provincial uncmploymentproblem. She said that there was already an unemployment problem and if the board turned out students after Grade 12 those that didn't want to go on to university would add to the number of people that can't fined jobs. The Peterborough board claimed that most other provinces in Canada and most jurisdictions in the world have proven they can prepare students for post secondary education in Tess than 13 years. The resolution claims that the public is showing greater concern for education costs and in ntario those costs offer students 15 years of formal education at public expense, 13 years plus Blyth United kindergarten and junior kinder- garten. Mr. Henderson said that the Grade 13 requirement holds back students with a post secondary education goal. He said that quite often students not involved with sports and other activities can make it through secondary school in four years and save the board a considerable amount of money. "Why keep them in school?" he asked. "There are no jobs available. Why not let them go to university and go through for something that will give them a career?" The motion to make abolishing Grade 13 the objective of the research was defeated 13-2 with one member abse 01. A new motion worded to have the research clone just to see if the board and the students would be better off without Grade 13 received the full support of the board. "This is my story" Service was held in Blyth United Church on Sunday morning when Miss Debbie McBeth and her mother Mrs. Russel McBeth of London accompanied with Clarinet and Plano. Organist, Mrs. DonaldKai for the chimes and organ prelude. Greeting into the Narthex were Millar Richmond and Margery McNall. Ushers were Ray Griffiths, Barbara Walsh and Douglas Howson, Th e Senior Choir accompanied by Debbie McBeth with the Clarinet sang "Take my life and let it be". Rev. Wittick chose for his sermon "This is my story". "There goes old Scrooge. 1 wonder where he made all his money?" "Heaven knows!" "Aha! So that's why he always looks so worried."

Mr. Mancini said his bill would remove the practice of drinking from the province's high schools. Despite increasing support for 1 the raising of the drinking age the bill is unlikely to pass according to a survey of cabinet ministers. The argument most frequently used by the cabinet ministers is that it would not be fair to allow a person to vote at 18 yet not drink until he turned 19. Director of Education John Cochrane supported that reasoning and told the board that the bill may be defeated on the basis of the voting age being 18. But Mr. Cochrane pointed out that during the war there was a laa telling youngsters they had to fight when they were 18 but couldn't drink until they were 21.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 16, 1977 —19 Field trip request sparks controversy A request from the geography department at Goderich District Collegiate Institute for a 1978 field trip caused a stir at the Huron County Board of Education Monday. The request was for a three day excursion to Elliot Lake in Northern Ontario at a cost of $120 per student. The trip is designed to have students apply knowledge of observation and recording techniques in field map reading and p reparation, analysis of land use patterns to observe mining activities. The board was asked to pay the costs for busing 45 students to Kitchener and the remaining costs for flight to Elliot Lake, food and lodging will be paid by the students themselves. Blyth trustee R.J.Elliott asked the board how far in advance field trips should be approved. He pointed out that the board was approving a trip for 1978 for two schools (Huron Centennial School requested approval to send 70 students to Ottawa in May 1978) and that the approval of the board would mean that $10,986 would change hands for the purpose of student field trips. "I'm not saying that's the total cost to the board but that reflects the total cost of the trips," said Mr. Elliott, Seaforth trustee John Hender- son suggested that the field trips are becoming "more and more vast" and that the expense of the trips was something the board should consider before giving its approval. He pointed out that in the case of the GDCI request students would be going home and telling parents they had a chance to go to Elliot Lake and needed $120. "If we approve the trip we're putting pressure on parents to spend $120 when they may not want to or be able to p ay that much," he said. GDCI principal John Stringer, a guest at the board meeting, pointed out to the board that the geography department at the school feels strongly about the trip. He said the department teachers feel that the trip is an important educational opportun• geography they are studying Mr. Stringer added that the cost of the trip will have to be raised by the students and that is why the request is being put in so early. He added that the Goderich Lions Club supports school activities and would never see a student left out because their parents can't afford the csts, e added that the lengthy period between approval and departure is designed to give students ample time to raise the money. Colborne township trustee Shirley Hazlitt said she wondered why students couldn't learn the same things on a trip locally as they would in Elliot Lake. She said she realized the students going to Ottawa couldn't sec the same things here but the students going to Elliot Lake should be able to see similar things right here in Huron County . Superintendent of education Jim Coulter told the board that field trips arc not always as extensive as the two up for approval. He pointed out that the students of Huron Centennial had been on field trips before but had stayed in the county on all of them. He said from their kindergarten years they had taken trips to the bank, to the supermarket, to a construction site, to an apple orchard, to the Huron County Pioneer Museum in Goderich and to Camp Sylvan. "What you're saying is that they've taken all kinds of trips locally but never been away from home," said board chairman Mr. Herb Turkheim. The board approved both trips by a 13-2 margin, one trustee being absent.

Again death and bloodshed: again homelessness and hunger: again emaciated fathers and mothers and children. In that war Canadian men and women died, and their names were dutifully added to the lists of names from the great war. Two wars to end all wars and make the world safe for democracy. But the end is not yet in sight. Fear and greed are terrible passions, terrible in that they can never be satisfied. Israel is being consumed by a passion to hold onto strips of land, and Arabs are equally consumed by their lust for that land. The United States of America spends untold, immeasurable billions in its passion to dominate the world. The Soviet Union spends untold billions to dominate the world. Russia and China are bickering because in their passions of jealousy and greed each demands absolute power in communist countries. Will people never learn? Will peopler never learn that the passions of the flesh have no limits. Therefore there arc wars anti fighting in the world, because every one is seeking to satisfy himself, and always it must be learned too late : passions are limited by death. Once people erected memorials to the unknown soldier, and recorded the names in public places, lest they forget the savegery of war. There is no such memorial in the village of Blyth. The soldiers of this community who died in the trenches of France, the men who lost their lives on the Atlantic, over the air of Europe, in the battles in Africa, and Normandy, and Belgium, and the Neth erlands, are slowly but surely being forgotten. Their names and photographs are discolouring and gathering dust in this memorial hall. Everyone of those men is ,lowly becoming an unknown soldier. Comrades and friends, we live in another era, in which you do not have to remember war, and in which a new generation is growing which has no memory of war. And we need a memorial, not only to remember the dead, but especially to remember the passions still at war, that the new generation may learn what causes wars. To that end, 1 challenge you to construct a memorial, of stone, of marble , with the names of the sten who died deeply etched in the stone: a sure memorial that these Hien died because of the passions at war in the human race. A memorial to the dead of the past alone will not eradicate war: it will serve only as a reminder of the passions still at work. The two world wars served supposedly to end all wars, and stake the world safe for democracy, but the passions still fly up, and not only across the world in other lands: the greed to control, the jealousy to have power are as much in Canada. Canadians are burning with a passion for the good, comfortable life: big houses, monstrous highways, but no one is happy about the cost of oil production. Will people never learn? Unquestionably, in niy mind at least, it is the business of the church to stake war impossible. And you will notice that where men and women and children listen to God and are transformed by His word, there is no fighting because of a struggle for power and security: there the pass ions of the Pesh arc under control. '('here you will find submission to God. In making War impossible the Legion has a stake too. I think that your memories and experiences of war make you want to forget the past. Who can live day by day with mental pictures of dead comrades, hollow-eyed prisoners, starving women, and homeless children? As much as you may want to forget, as citizens of this Dominion you too have a stake in making peace. So often the tremendous energies of the Legion and the Auxiliary are nothing but passionate attempts to make security. There is a passion at work, also in Branch 1/420, to Wintery HEAD GEAR Big Knit Acrylic hats in brim or skull cap styles. Matched hat and scarf sets, too! stake life comfortable and easy, of resting on laurels, of saying: "We h ave done our duty: Others owe us a living." That however is a passion wh ich never satisfies. Once you think your self secure and comfortable. When I say this, 1 do not forget the things you are doing, the efforts to maintain good care to the veterans in Westminster Hospital. I do not forget your solemn pledges to assist always the veterans of the Great War. I do not forget the wheelchairs and hospital beds you have available for Legion members and their families. The Legion is doing far more than most people know. But I challenge you, instead of expending your powers for security, which you will never satisfy, and which will only cause grief and division in Canada, that you become an agency of peace. That does not mean you have to change your bar into a pulpit. There are enough pulpits in this community. I ant asking that you gear yourself to the pursuit of peace, to teaching. children the way of peace. Peace is sown by those who make peace.Tcach the children what causes wars, you will not need learned words and great speeches. You need the simple, quiet language you arc familiar with to stake children aware of the passions that cause war. Tell of these passions, the jealousies, the lusts for power and security, at work in Ontario in Canada. In being makers of peace the Legion will always have a high priority in Canada: respect and honour will be y our due, and no one will ever be able to accuse you then of being a drain on the economy. 'fell the children that there is no glory in war, no satisfaction in fulfilling passions, only death. Tell the children that such passions make suffering, and pain, misery upon misery. Tell them and show them that you submit to thew... of God, that the power of Christ is at work in you. Your joy and elation of working for peace will persuade people that the way of peace overcomes all passions. As makers of peace you will be Carhartt's Are Here!

In conclusion Mr. Hoogstecn challenged the audience on two points: One to build a memorial where all residents of .Blyth and all who pass through this enge community can see that the war dead are not forgotten, and secondly, that Branch 1/420, be a living memorial of peace. Yearning for peace, teaching the 1t , children and young people, by Ai example and word, how to overcome the passions that cause wars.
