A delay in the receipt of grants
has contributed to a requirement
for additonal funds for the new
Blyth and Community arena.
While the board considered
sufficient funds were on hand to
finance the structure, interest
charges on money borrowed while
grants were being awaited has
made the difference between a
balanced statement and a deficit
of $9,387.43.
"Due to a delay in the grant
money being received it was
necessary to borrow funds and
interest of $60 a day accumulated
quickly" Clerk Larry Walsh
explained, He added he was sure
the money could be raised in the
new year through donations and

Remembrance Day
1'Oil may have noticed that I didn't write
a Renu•nlhrance Day column this year. It's
not that I have turned against it. It's just
that. in 20 -odd years of writing this
colunl. I think I've said everything I could
about it without producing a bundle of
maudlin cliches that would embarrass nlc
as touch as my readers.
I've written about the silvery wail of
The Last Post on the desolate November air
- that cry from the dead that would raise a
lump as big as a golf hall in your throat,
tears as big as tea hags in your eyes.
I've written about Old Sweats chortling
as they went hack to Vimv and Mons and
the clays when they were young and gay
and scared still. I've described middle-
aged vets sucking in their guts in the
parade. hoping they could thud in the•puts
until they finished the march and got hack
to the Legion hall for a coldie.
I've described the little old Silver Star
mothers. w iping away one dry tear as they
;n\ kw artily placed a w tenth, not qui le
know ing \\ haler to salute or how or just
shuffle around until someone steered them
;n\ ;n .
It's become tau much. I've dried up. It's
a hit lik r heing the Poet Laureate of
England. and ha \ ing to produce at sonnet to
celebrate the h firth of Princess Anne's first
horn.
It's like being an editor and groaning
\\ hen you're told that you will have to
produce, for the 28th time, an editorial
lauding the virtues of Labor Day.
With any luck, the Legion will die away.
because there will he no such th ing as a
veteran. all veterans of all wars being
dead, and Remembrance Day will he
something \ recalled as a pagan
holiday hack in the 20th century, when
people thought they could solve their
differences by killing each outer,
But don't think 1 igtlnl'e Remembrance
Day. No sir. I take it out 00 my students.
On the day before the Day, I lug to school
an armful of souvenirs. and rub their noses
in them. 1 think this is much more effective
than writing a column or slaking a speech
to a group of veterans.
For one thing, 1 can lie and hewn houtfear
of eontradiciton. Those kids are left with
the clear understanding that had it not
been for 13111 Smiley, we'd have lost World
War 11 and they'd now be subject to the
whist of some Gestapo Gauleiter.
Mind you, my souvenirs are nothing like
the real stuff my uncles brought honk from
World War I: Belts with "Got Mit uns,"
gas masks, shell cases.
But on the other hand, they know as
much about World War 1I as they do about
the Boer \Vat•, or the \\'ar of the Roses, so
it doesn't take much to impress them.
I bring my flying log hook, which shows
clearly the number of booths I dropped on
the enemy. I don't have to mention that
"the enemy '' in most cases consisted of a
plowed field, or a river with a bridge which
I'd missed.
I bring an eight by 10 picture of "v our
hero". dashing, mustachioed, standing
beside his trusty Typhoon, They say: "Was
that Your ownairplane'1) for I)ity Dick''?" I
reply casually, ' Vc were like husband and
Wife.''
I don't have to mention that D for
Desmond was borrowed for the occasion
and that I flew any old. clapped out
Typhoon the riggers could put together for
another mission. Nor do I have to elaborate
that Dirty Dick was indeed like a wile • she
yawed violently to the left on takeoff.
Another feature of my souvenirs is a half
dotes blown -up cartoons of prison camp
life. I just sort of chop this in. 'Then costes
the inevitable question: "Sir. clic) You try to
escape'.'"
I slide into my British accent. "Well,
eckshwully, chops. the Old Hun took a
\eddy cline view of cscapc attempts, but...
Yes," chuckling reminiscently and
nostalgically.
'What happened?'.
"Well, nothing much. relly. 'fried to nip
off with the Ohcrgruppcnfuhrcr's
Volksw•agon jeep and steal a plane. But
they caught Inc. Dcmnlit•"
You see, I d0n't have to explain that I
made what must have been the dumbest
escape attempt in WWII, after stealing the
Feklwebcl's lunch out of his coat pocket,
and had the boots put to me, severly and
accurately. by several old guys who had
been badly scared recently by Typhoon
pilots, and had no desire to be sent to the
Russian front for letting a prisoner escape.
"And what happened then?"
"Well, I was sent to a special camp for
pt•ISotlet'S whose spirits could not he tattled,
even by the dread Gestapo." 1 don't have
to tell these young turkeys that there were
10,000 other "untamed spirits" in the
camp. most of \•horn would have sold their
ancient mother to Kubla Khan for a packet
of fags.
And I wind up with rather vivid
description of the final escape, fighting
my way through Russian and German
hordes as the war drew toward its climax.
And falling into the arms of a Canadian
corporal and trading hint a PoW chocolate
bar for a bottle of beer.
You see, Remembrance Day will never
be dead while I'm alive.

New work ethics
Times have altered our view of work. The old ethic
of work being good for you no matter what form it
took, is not so generally accepted today. There is a
groping for work to mean more than survival.
At a recent Labor Management Conference the
Hon. John Munro, Minister of Labor, cited a new
work ethic which seemed to be taking shape.
He quoted Professor Eric Trist, an advisor to Labor
Canada, who pointed out six psycholigical require-
ments for the emergence of a new organization of
work.
"1. There is the need for the job to be reasonably
demanding in terms other than sheer endurance and
to provide some minimum of variety.
"2. There is the need to be able to learn on the job
and go on learning - in other words, to utilize and
develop one's facilities.
"3. There is the need for some area of
decision-making by the individual worker.
"4, There is the need for some degree of social
support and recognition in the work place.
"5. There is the need to be able to relate what one
does and produces to one's life.
"6. There is the need to feel that the job leads to
some sort of desirable future."
We might eliminate a lot of conflict if we realized
that work must not only result in production of
needed goals or services, but must also be personally
productive and personally fulfilling and rewarding.
The individual cannot simply be regarded as a cog
without personality or feelings.
Milton Canadian Champion
Dear Editor:
i must chide y our usage of the English
language. How can you call a building a living
memorial? You do express a common
sentimentality, but sentimentality carries
little value in expressing ideas and concepts,
or in conveying information. Sweet, cloying
sentimentality contributes to an ignorant
constituency.
i have been a Blyth citizen long enough to
appreciate the value of the Memorial Hall,
and even helped a little to bring it to its
present popularity. The purpose for
renovating the Hall was entirely different than
remembering the war dead. If this building
serves to perpetuate memories of previous
wars, why was it allowed to decay to the point
of condemnation?

Winter seems
different when you
are young
I guess 1 must he getting old because I
can never remember dreading the conning of
winter as much as I have this year.
When 1 was younger I remember how I
couldn't understand why people hated winter.
Sure it wasn't all fun as it was when we were
kids and winter meant skating and sliding
down hills but it wasnt't an icy version of hell
either.
I don't know, maybe it was the last two
winters that did the trick. One bad winter can
be depressing, two in a row is frightening an(1
to listen to the prognosticators saying we're in
for a third, is enough to send you to a mental
institution or Jamaica depending on which is
within your financial reach.
Perhaps the problem is that I've never felt
so unprepared for winter before. Memory
tends to recall only the pleasant things 1 know,
but as 1 think back to winter as a kid. I
remember that there was a lot of preparation
but once that was done, it was sit tight and
wait for spring. Mother spent the late summer
and fall making jams, jellies and preserves to
have food for winter. Father got the crops in
(if he was lucky and the weather held) and
brought the wood cut back at the bush up to
the house where it was sawed on the buzz saw
and stacked in the wood shed. You made sure
you had a good supply of flour and sugar in
case of bad storms. You made sure you had
feed in the barn for the animals. Then you
settled down to the daily routine of cluing
chores, keeping warm around the big box
stove and planning for spring.
It wasn't really that simple of course. Doing
the chores was a large-sized task with all those
animals in the barn producing all that manure
to be hauled out and all needing water to be
hauled to them and the feed to be tugged out
of the haymow, so matted it seemed you'd
break the pitch fork before you got enough hay
pulled out.
But you didn't have to worry about putting
antifreeze in the horse or putting snow•tires on
the sleigh in those days, a major advantage
over modern tithes. 1 think that's the most
wearying thing about winter preparations
today. In the old days you had planning and
hard work to get ready for winter. Today von
To the editor
You may call the Hall a memorial. But a
living memorial? Only people themselves can
constitute a living memorial. Call the Hall a
used memorial, and you will be right.
In the address to Legion Branch 420, 1
called for a cenotaph to remember the
atrocities and death of wars. A stone memorial
would function better to remind of the horrors
of war than plaques collecting dust.
And that was only the minor point in the
address; my concern as chaplain for the
Legion Branch was that the Legion function as
a living memorial (only people can be a living
memorial) to teach new generations about the
causes and atrocities of war. Children have a
very limited knowledge of how to prevent
armed conflict, and only statistics at best of
the enormous losses of life incurred by war.
have planning; and hard work and a heck of a
lot o1' money to spend. If you're planning to
travel in winter von have 10 get the car
reparcd. Antifreeze and snow tires and a
rotten') to make sure the darned thing will
start 00 frosty mornings. Even if you get the
car in perfect running order you still know that
there will be many times you won't he able to
get anywhere because the roads aren't open
or von know that sometime during the winter
you're going to gel into a situation where
you may go into a slick or miss a curve and
end 01) with a crumpled hunk of metal where
once you had an expensive car. Or you'll get
stuck and have to pay money to get towed out.
And if you escape all this, there's still the
depressing certain knewledge that by spring
your car is going to be several hundred dollars
closer to its death bed thanks to that sneaky
little enemy called rust.
Thew her big expense in winter is trying to
keep from freezing to death in y our house. i
remember h acing piling wood in fall .
remember hating to wake up to 0 cold house in
winter. But at least keeping warns was cheap,
in fact usually free, just the cost of your own
energy to cut and store the wood. But now
there are oil bills to play or hydro bills to gulp
at and there's the constant internal (debate
when you feel chilled and are tempted to jack
up the thermostat a few degrees but wince at
the thought of the next heating bill. Now
we're worried about storm windows and
weather stripping and insulation: worried
about bony expensive it is to install it, but
worried too about how expensive it will be if
we don't.
We just can't afford \\•inter yet because
we're still paying for last winter.
'that's the nice thing about being a kid in
winter. You don't have to worry about cars.
You (don't have to worry about heating bills.
You don't have to go out in winter except
when you want to. Y ou know that the worse
the weather the more holidays you'll get from
school. Winter isn't 0 time of worry but a time
of fun, of playing hockey and skating and
skiing and snownlobiling and tobogganing
and an endless cir cle of good times. Isn't it
t(xn bad you have to grow up?
The children must be taught the way of peace,
and the Legion can serve admirably as a
teaching community.
Some children may know why the Bly th
Memorial Hall w as built, but they have no
idea of the memories and sufferings behind its
construction. They are a different generation,
and lacking the experiences of the past, must
be taught to promote peace, in which •
promotion the Legion can do an excellent job.
'ilnerefore we read at the Remembrance Day
ceremonies James 4.1-10, on the basis of
which 1 challenged the Legion, as its chaplain,
to work among the children of the community
as a living memorial to teach the children the
way of peace.

THEY AREN'T KIDDING AROUND — it's obvious that Mrs. William Harrison and
her goats have a joint affection for each other. Here she holds onto her only buck,
Jolly Quick. She also has 15 nannies.
(Photo by Ranney)
Feature: folk -Mrs. William Harrison
Goats are ier hobby
Some people work on
needlepoint as a hubby. Some
people work on ceramics or
painting, but Mrs. William
1larrison of ISR 1, Blyth prefers to
raise goats.
What started but as a neccesity
has become a hohhy. About seven
or eight years ago, Mt. Harrison
had a bleeding ulcer and required
goat's milk so the Harrisons
bought one. It wasn't till about
five years ago that the goats
became Mrs. Harrison's hobby.
'today Mrs. Harrison Inas 15
nannies and one buck to keep
her busy and they all have names.
Their names are: Maude, Holly,
Thelma, Roberta, Minto Maude,
Rachel, Tina, Melinda, 1-1azel,
Marietta, Roberta Jr., Susie,
Amy, Maudene and Maudctte.
,lolly Quick, the buck, is a
purebred and his name was on his
papers, so Mrs. Harrison had
nothing to do with naming him.
Mrs. Harrison has two kinds of
goats Nubians and Saanens.
Although some people have said
that the Nubian's milk is richer
than the other breeds, Mrs.
Harrison said she hasn't found
that to he the case. She believes
!hat her Saanens are het ter
milkers than the Nubians,
v1rs. Harrison separates the
goat's milk and makes her own
butter. The 13arrisons also veal
calves with the goat's milk and
the veals goes in the freezers so
that keeps them in meat, too,
Mrs. Harrison says.
This year, Mrs. Harrison sold
about 1.1 little billy goats and
about 12 nannies. The reason she
still has so many goats around,
she says, is that when the time
comes to sell them. she doesn't
know which ones to sell. She says
that eventually she will get rid of
her two Nubian goats because she
prefers the Saanens.
Never having had any previous
experience with goats Mrs.
Harrison has had to learn by
doing. She milks the goats twice a
day, at about seven in the
morning and six at night and she
gets edgy if she's not at home to
milk her goats 00 time.
Her milking experience is not
limited, however. Before retiring
to their current I2 acres of land
near Blyth, the Harrison milked a
herd of 32 Jerseys in Clifford.
There is one difference, however,
when Mrs. Harrison milked the
.Jcrsacys, she did so with the
benefit of milking machines.
Milking the goats, is no
problem. A child could do it, says
Mrs. Harrison.
"I'd sooner milk 15 goats, than
two cows by hand," she said.
"Goats are no problem at all.
The only time you're busy at all is
when they're kidding."
I'hc nannies kid for about two
weeks in February and when that
happens, Mrs. Harrison is up all
night long. Last year there were
32 kids, including eight sets of
triplets, three sets of twins and
the rest were singles.
Mrs. Harrison feeds her goats,
corn, mineral salt, second cut
alfalfa, and a little soybean meal.
The goats also enjoy eating a
Christmas tree after Christmas.
Besides their obvious food
benefits, goats also happen to be
clean animals. Mrs. Harrison only
has to clean their pens about
twice year.
For Mrs. Harrison, the goats
arc something to do, something to
keep her busy.
"But 1 like the goats," "I
guess with me they're just a
hobby," she said.

From me to you
By Rhea Hamilton
1 Y
Christmas spirit
I'm sure many of you have
either heard or read of animals
returning home after a
unexpected trip. \Ve here at lr rue
have experienced two such
animal stories.
Oyer a week ago our two dogs
;old ny inlays dog raced off into
the s.yanlp for some exercise. Our
two .yore honk in a matter of
botn but Homer wasn't and after
a few hours we all began to worry.
1lenler has been trained to stay
close to the house and has never
wandered before. My father-in-
law travelled the sideroads
looking and calling. One morning
he drove 120 miles covering
sideroads between Lucknow and
Dungannon. Neighbours and
concerned friends sighted a Targe
black dog travelling in this
direction from Lucknow area. if
Honterhad travelled through the
Saratoga Swamp he would have
dome out a fair distance from
home.
By now you may have guessed
it. Last Saturday Homer returned
home and it is a )yonder how he
did it. He has never been the
Lucknow way before and he ran
away from our place which is
three utiles from where he
actually _lives and where he
returned to.
No harm done you might say
but when the scare waston a letter
was sent to my mother-in-law,
who is visiting in Germany, to tell
her that her pet Horner had gone.
Now isn't that something to spoil
a holiday. However a telegram is
n its way to clear everything up.
The other animal story does not
concern a pet but an intruder.
Last Friday night we heard stones
falling in our basement. Armed
with a butcher knife we turned on
the spotlights and proceeded with
awe. Looking us both in the eye
was a long snake sitting on the
ledge where the water pipes come
out from the rest of the house.
While my quick thinking husband
looked for a hook in an effort to
identify the intruder, the snake in
the meantime. not waiting for
identification , promptly fell to
the floor and disappeared behind
some cases.
The snake hook could not be
found and the only snake picture
we could find was a black and
white sketch of a Missauga
Rattler which had similar if not
the same markings as our friend.
Now wouldn't that mak\ou run
for a pail with a lid'.'
''Vith the a''d of the fireplace
tongs and alot of edgy moments
Klauumanaged to pick up the wily
rascal and deposit hint in a
shaking pail which 1 immediately
covered with a tight lid.
After a call to the Ministry of
Natural Resources, proper
identification for our out of season
guest was a Hog Nosed Snake.
'these snakes are often mistaken
for rattlers and are relatively
harmless. Our "guest'is now
residing in the barn for the
duration of his hibernation and
we hope he will stick around to
clean up a rodent problem in the
grainery.
\Vith all the excitement here
this weekend we didn't have time
to think much about getting
anything ready for Christmas.
Sunday night a special was
aired called "The Gathering". A
touching story about how a man
who is terminally ill and makes
amends with his alienated family
through a Christmas gathering.
The story was both comical and
moving and brought home just
how important Christmas is for
bringing together families at least
once a year. Everyone talks about
the Spirit of Christmas but how
many really know what it means.
After viewing this show 1 for
one realized that no matter what
sociologists say about the
disappearance of the fancily
structure in our new society,
Christmas always will m ake us
sentimental and create a desire to
gather close, as family members .
Those having fancily gatherings
this year who watched the special
will realize the value of your
fancily no matter what foolish
differences y ou may have had in
the past. Christmas is the time
for forgiving and forgetting in the
name of the Christ Child who was
born so many centuries ago.
Although it may seem a little
early for the spirit of Christmas to
be raising its magical head .
perhaps it could be a little late for
those of us who have not
prepared for our own gathering.

Shoppers
In the madcap rush of the
Christmas season, when the
stores are crowded with bustling
shoppers and the strains of a
favourite Christmas carol hull us
into a buying mood, it is even
more important to shop carefully.
Today the jingling sound we hear
is that of cash registers, not
sleigh bells, and an over-
abundance of Christmas spirit
could) herald a bleak .January.
Before joining the annual foray,
here are a few timely tips:
REFUND POLICY
Stores are not obligated to
refund money or to exchange
nlerchan disc purchased as a gift.
Policies vary from stole to store:
some offer a credit note, Sonne
after a cash refund or exchange,
some offer a refund or exchange
only for a limited time (often 10
days after purchase). Some stores
will not refund your nu)nev or
exchange goods after purchase
for any reason.
So if you're not sure that Uncle
.toe likes polka dots, check the
store's policy before you buy. Be
sure that a refund will be given or
an exchange made if merchandise
is unsuitable and that this agree-
ment is clearly stated on the bill.
If a company represents that it
has a refund policy and money is
not returned, this is in contra-
vention of The Business Practices
Act. But if no promise is ►Wade,
don't expect a refund.
DELIVERY TIME
Post offices are full to over-
flowing during the holiday season
and a rush of orders to a mail
order firm will probably take
much longer to process as well as
to deliver. Stores offering
delivery services are often hack•
logged because of the volume of
sales.
Don't be disappointed when
Otristnlas Eve approaches and
those special presents still
haven't arrived. Allow extra time
for delivery for all purchases,
whether by mail or by van.
if you are buying furniture as a
Christmas gift. insist that the
promised delivery date is clearly
stated on the bill of sale, even if
you are given a verbal promise of
pre -Christmas delivery. Pay for
the item on a cash•on-delivery
basis or, better still, arrange to
tot

.44MAiet.
should be aware
have the goods picked up
yourself.
UNSOLICITED GOODS
Many companies or organi-
zations send unsolicited goods,
such as Christmas cards, through
the mails at this time of year.
They ask you to send motley to
pay for the items.
1f you didn't order them, you
are not obligated to pay for them.
You may keep them, destroy
then) or send then) hack at the
sender's expense.
FUND—RAISING SCHEMES
At this time of the year the
unethical operators who see a
quick buck to he made compete
with honest fund-raisers for the
dollars of a generous public. Most
pleas for money are authentic,
but to be sure that your money

goes to the needy, keep the
following points in mind:
–be wary of telephone solici-
tations.
--make sure you understand the
nature of the donation request.
•-ask how they got your name.
–ask for the name of the person
calling and the full name and
address of his or her employer,
including the telephone number.
-•if in doubt, request that the
solicitation he made itt writing.
-check a company's reputation
with the Better Business Bureau
or the Chamber of Commerce.
A REMINDER
Be sure that gifts purchased) for
children are non-toxic. Cheek the
Christmas tree for flammable
decorations. 'Furl] out the

As each representative spoke,
the members of his or her group
stood to be recognized.
Bill Coultes read Scripture
relevant to his comments on
"Keep an Open Mind!" He
reminded us that there arc many
things we should be doing, but
first we must know what others
are thinking and understand
others' points of view.
We need a disciplined church
financing,Church expenses must
be paid on a regular basis so our
contribution should be given on a
regular basis. Each knows how he
can best serve God. Keep an open
mind and allow yourself to be
directed toward new
opportunities in the service of
God.
Mrs. Kenneth Wheeler,
!resident of the U.C.W.
expressed the following views:

Danger to ciildren on tractors discussed
Parents who let children drive
tractors were condemned by a
Mount Forest provincial
policeman Wednesday.
Constable Gary Gaeler was
speaking to 50 delegates at a
Western Ontario district sleeting
of the Farm Safety Association in
Brodhagen.
"I'm most concerned with the
problems with kids riding
tractors," he said. '1 don't know
why, but I've got a real bug about
that." He said legislation should
he passed dealing with the
problem.
Another problem about
which he was concerned was
passengers riding on tractors,
and another, improper slow-
moving vehicle signs. Signs are
sometimes too faded to be seen
properly, upside down, placed too
high or too low ...,
'l've seen so many accidents
because of improper driving of
tractors. For some reason
formers don't seem to learn from
the mistakes of other farmers.
You read about these accidents
with tractors in the newspapers
but yet nothing is done. For
instance there should he roll bars
and a cab on each tractor and
there should he penalties for
improper use of tractors he
said.
Mr. Gaeler, community
services co-ordinator, teaches
safety in area elementary schools
using a toy barn to teach farm
safety. The barn is full of hazards
which he points out to the
students such as broken steps.
unprotected holes in the second
stories, faulty wiring ....
"By reaching the children they
will take the word (safety) home
to Mom and Dad. "Aren't you
supposed to buckle up, Dad?"
Cyclamen
makes a
good gift
A popular Christmas plant
suitable for cool, sunny house and
office locations is the colourful
cyclamen, says John Hughes,
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food horticulturist.
Cyclamen available locally are
usually grown from seed by
Ontario greenhouse growers. It
takes from 10 to 18 months to'
produce a finished plant. .
Because cyclamen is such a
long -terns crop. its cost is often a
little higher than some of the
other popular Christmas plants,
such as the poinsettia.
Mr. Hughes says cyclamen are
grown at 10°C night tempera-
tures, and 1 6° day temperatures.
This helps to produce firm foliage
and the characteristic ball -shaped
top growth.
When buying cyclamen. Mr.
Hughes suggests checking under
the canopy of foliage. Ideally,
there should be a multitude of
developing flower buds.
Cyclamen, like most Christmas
plants, prefer cooler tempera-
tures and high humidity. This
plant will enjoy a bright location
in a south-, west-, or east -facing
window with temperatures of 12
to 15°C, away from hot air
registers, radiators and hot,
bright lights. With proper
attention, cyclamen will flower
from four to eight weeks.
Cyclamen are available in a
complete range of colours from
red, purple, and white to various i
shades of pink. Flower petals also
vary from round and smooth to I
rough and fluffy.
They arc the bestpllies we have."
Another speaker was Mike
Miller, Kitchener, district safety
co-ordinator with the Farm Safety
Association, who spoke on the
importance of smoke detectors. in
the home and in the bc.rn. The
association's public relations
offcer, Larry F. Swinn ofGuelph,
told of the potential dangers of
silos.
N1r.Swinn said there is not
enough awareness of the
potential dangers with silos. He
said they misuse unloader, don't
have adequate cable, have
inadequate wenches and are often
areless. They even ride the silo
unloaders up to the top. 'That's
sheer stupidity and he recount ed
astory of one man falling 65 feet
doing that, breaking both his
legs.
Grant Webber of Toronto,
agricultural supervisor for
Ontario Hydro energy conserva-
tion division, told the delegates
about farm wiring and electrical
safety on the farm. Ile warned
farmers to check their buildings
regularly for potential hatar,is
such as damaged wiring. He said
rats and slice chew wiring and the
insulation on wiring should he
checked at least font' tulles a year
for this hazard. He spoke of the'
need to use the proper extension
cords for each use ••- whether for
heavy duty or whatever.

said,"so it effects the steel
industry and many others also."
Hannam says almost every
item used on the farm is
purchased from someone else so
if the agricultural industry suffers
in this county, everybody suffers.
1iannam also said that
marketing hoards are largely
misunderstood. He urged farmers
to do more to promote domestic
sales and foreign markets for
trade.
Expanding on this Hanna said,
"the 90 cent Canadian dollar is

Canadian produce is the finest.
In his speech to the OFA

said, "Canadian farmers are the

One main point Munroe

T le
food

eprofit
indust'y is just beginning to
realize the serious degree to
which it had over -produced with
the industry about 20 per cent
overbuilt.
Ile said a study commission by
the Canadian Cattleman's
Association has determined that
the industry losses have totalled
oyer $400 million over the last
three years. It is important to
recognize that thcsclosses were
caused primarily by the over
supply of cattle and rising input
costs and not as some have
claimed, by an inefficient or poor
marketing system, he stated.
Study after study have been
conducted, he said, and little or
no fault will the marketing system
has been found. The cattle
industry still has one of the best,
most competitive marketing
systems anywhere.
Discussing the cattle cycle
which is peaking at the present
time and will be for some months
to cone, he said a cattleman or
THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 7, 1977 —15
By Wilma Oke
"The greatest assurance we
can have of an abundant food
supply is the profit motive
expressing itself in a free market
place, Jack Riddell, MPP for
Huron -Middlesex, told the 100
members of the Perth -Huron
Shorthorn Association attending
the annual meeting and banquet
at the Community Centre at
l3rodhagcn Friday.
"Profit and the expectation of
profit is the engine that drives our
food machine. The lack of profit,
the reality of losses, the growth of
agriculture's public dependency
leads ultimately and inevitably to
reduced food supplies, increased
inefficiency and higher costs.,"
he said.
Speaking of the market
situation and outlook, he said
beef cow numbers grew over 40
per cent from 1969 to 1975 while
per capita beef supplies have
grown from 84 pounds in 1970 to
110 pounds in 1976, an increase of
30 per cent.
Present supplies and prices are
the result of the rapid sell off of
the breeding herd. The beef cow
herd has been reduced Brom six to
eight per cent according ti)
various estimates and a record
number of heifers have been
mused to feeding instead of
returning to the breeding herd.
To show how sharply cattlemen
arc reducing their breeding herd
he said while it is normal for
heifers to make up about 22 per
cent of the feed beef supply, in
the past two years heifers have
made up over 30 per cent.
Ile said the offshore imports in
1978 will be controlled by a beef
import law promised by the
federal minister of agriculture
which will certainly control the
importation of beef coming into
Canada.
Aggravating the supply
problem of 1978 will be the
abundant supplies of cheap feed,
both grain .ld silage, as well as
protein concentrate, he said and
these will draw all available cattle
onto feed and will probably tend
to increase carcass weight.
On the demand side he was
pessimistic saying the beef

adivsed a much higher level of
understanding among cattlemen
and a higher degree of co-
operation to establish a much
more stable industry to tame the
beef cycle, thus moderating
supply swings.
"This is easily the most
important thing that our industry
should do and perhaps the most
difficult," he said.
Ile recommended that a larger
number of feedlot operators
investigate custom feeding and
the custom feeding clients,
wherever possible, could be cow
-calf operators who retain owner-
ship or partial ownership of the
calves or yearlings right through
to slaughter.
Discussing the present cattle
marketing system he said many
producers do not use market
information wisely or well.
"While the marketing system
has been criticized by the
uninformed, industry leaders on
both the producers' side, the
packers' sick and within
government, have been quietly
building a solidly better system",
lie said. "We have a system that
is versatile, flexible and with
many options. Few would cash it
all in for the strictures of a
compulsory system."
about our almost complete
dependency upon the retail
chains through which most of our
beef moves. Hopefully, some
developing trends like boxing b
eef at packer level may break this
stranglehold. My main point was
to demonstrate first, that those
marketing issues common to us
are all of the issues from producer
to consumer and that if we have
any problems they are not
primarily at the producer -packer
level."
He concluded by saving that
"profit is indeed the name of the
game and that the intelligent
combination of our production
and mareeting systems can, if we
have the will, y icld those profits
on a more continuous basis than
has been the case in Ole past.,"

Whelan bans importation of livestock semen
Agriculture Minister Eugene
Whelan recently announced that
Canada has imposed a temporary
ban on the import of all livestock
and semen from Australia. The
ban is not expected to create
great inconvenience, because
such imports are rare.
The han is caused by an
outbreak of a hitherto unknown
strain of bluetongue, a disease
that causes deformity and death
in sheep, cattle and goats. The
new strain was identified in
Autralia's Northern Territory, but
the origin of the new virus is yet
to be identified.
imports of beef and mutton
from the nation to Canada are not
affected. Meat does not
wnstitute a threat to Canada's
livestock; the disease is spread by
biting insects.
"Australian officials
immediately notified us of the
new strain of bluetongue, and we
have acted accordingly," Mr.
Whelan said.
...he han on
imports, a step also taken by New
Zeland and the United Kingdom,
has been imposed to make certain
that the disease doesn't reach
Canada."

"Has the amount of the
benefits changed?"
Absolutely not. The UI benefit rate
stays at two-thirds of your average weekly
insurable earnings.
The maximum is $147, less tax.
"Anything else
I should know?"
The maximum time for which anyone
may receive benefits has changed slightly.
The old maximum was 51 weeks. Now it's
50 weeks.
But since September 11, the total
number of weeks for which a claimant qualifies
has more closely reflected the unemployment
rate in his or her region.

When the plant is taken

allow it to acclimatize in a cool,

"Then choose its location care-

Right now, we pleasure unemployment by
dividing Canada into 16 economic regions. Later,
in 1978, we will line -tune the program to 54

Ombudsman's 'gold plated spending' is attacked
By Murray Gaunt
Omb udsman Arthur Maloncr
was strongly attacked by
members of all three parties in
the Legislature this week for what
they called his gold-plated
spending and his political ploys to
get more money for his office.
While many members of the
House defend Nlr. NIaloney's 5.1
million a year operation, others
have resented his spending for
more than a year and criticized it
for the most part behind the
scenes.
It came into the open, however,
at a committee discussing the
51.1 million more he wants this
year and the decision of the hoard
of internal economy to give hint
only S633,000 of that.
Mr. Maloney threatened to call
off all his public hearings outside
Toronto until next April if he did
not get more money. He said he
would have to cancel hearings in
Northern Ontario next %geek.
Later, however, he told the
committee seven of his officials
volunteered to pay their own
travel. a(CO mmodation and food
expenses to make the trip north.
He said later that would save his
office 55,000 to 57,000.
(Even a saying of 55,000 for the
four-day trip would mean that the
budgeted amount was nearly 5180
a clay for expenses for each
official to travel to Sault Ste
Marie. C'hapleau, '1hessalon and
Sudbury)
Bud Wildman (N DP, Algoma)
called Mr. Maloney's threat to
cancel the Northern hearings "a
power play to force the Govern-
ment's hand" to give him more
money. "The North is being used
in a political ploy, and I resent
That whole process," he told the
Omhu(1smam.
Liberal Richard Ruston (Essex
North) put It nlol'C colourfully. "It
reminds me So much of a boy who
has a baseball and, if he can't
pitch, he's going to go honk." Ile
said S633,000 - added to the $3,56
million Mr. Maloney has already
received this year - should bel
enough. "Frons day one, he's
been building up too fast, and
now it's catching up with us," Mr
Ruston said
Health Minister Dennis
l imbrel1 announced a special
inquiry into the matter of the
RCMP and OPP and others who
have illegally obtained confi-
dential information from the
Ontario Health Insurance Plan.
The inquiry will be carried out by
Judge Horace Krever.
It is understood that the Inquiry
will be empowered to investigate
exactly how members of the
RCMP have been receiving
information from 011IP, whether
the disclosures to the police have
been illegal, and whether
members of the health care
profession have been illegally
using ()HIP data.

Ontario Health Insurance Plan
said that the providing of enrol•
entt data from OTHI' and other
medical plans to the police is a
policy that originated at the
political level and presumably Inas
been known to health ministers
and attorneys general since 1959.
A.GFetherston said that
although he didn't know if the
policy was legal, he supported it
because only statistical data and
not medical information has been
given out.
Premier William Davis has said
that a federal -provincial confer-
ence on the economy likely will be
held in February.
But after sleeting Prime
Minister Pierre Trudcau, he said
that no interim federal measures
were discussed 10 stimulate the
economy and alleviate unemploy•
mens and added that Ontario will
not bring down a special budget
to make jolts or move on any
other stake -work programs.
Bill 101, "An Act to Amend the
Petty Trespass Act", has passed
Second Reading in tllc
Legislature. This hill proposes
three basic changes: (1), To
increase the maximum fine for
petty trespass from 5100 to
51,000; (2), To remove liability
from the landowner for personal
damage to a treSpasSer; and (3),
To insist on written pe emission
from the landowner before enu'y
can he made 011 land, whet her
posted or otherwise.
It has gone to Standing
committee for further discussion.
Since this is a Private Member's
Bill, the chances of its advancing
and becoming lacy are somewhat
remote in this session.

What Confederation Means to Me
Confederation is the most
important thing in Canada. It
binds our relationship with our
other provinces and we should be
thankful for it.
If Canada did split up it
wouldn't be worth those two
horrible wars. The people who
gave their life, left their family
and not being able to see their
loved ones again. Others praying
that they will survive. All of t hose
people would have died not
knowing that our nation would
separate.
Can you image how awful it
would be to be wounded in
battle ?
All of those people died for us
and 1 think we should be proud of
it and remember all they gave up
for the generations to come.
We should be thankful for our
freedom and remember those
who died.
Confederation is wonderful
and we should remember that and
not let Canada split up into
different countries.
If we think about it, I think you
will agree, that confederation is
important and we should keep it
that way.

Why Do I Wear a Poppy
Why do I wear a Poppy?
I sometimes ask myself
And then from the inside of me
My soul replies and says
"Do you not know why you wear
that symbol,
A red poppy on your breast"
1 then reply onto myself
That I do not know why.
The voice within then cries in
anguish.
"Have you forgotten in your
haste
The men who died in the battle-
fields of France
Who died to save mankind!"
"Do you now sec" calmly relplies
my soul" the importance of
remembering ?"

Unemployment is low in Huron County
Unemployment in Huron
County is running at a
comparatively low figure stacked
against provincial or even federal
unemployment averages.
Specific statistics are not
available for Huron County but
regional figures indicate an
average unemployment rate of
4.1 per cent in the Lake Eric
region. The region takes in the
area of London, St. Thomas,
Woodstock, Tillsonhurg,
Goderich and surrounding area.
In the region unemployment
was 4.1 per cent in August, rose
to 4.5 per cent in September and
kis dropped to 3.9 per cent in
October. The figures are not
surprisingly low for an
agricultural based region but the
only other regional statistic to
compare conies from Midwestern
Ontario in the Oshawa area where
theOctober average was 4.3 per
cent.
Ben Hey, m anager of the
Canada Manpower Centre in
Goderich, said the economic
picture in the arca is not gloomy
but more probably reflects the
general economic picture across
the country.
The Huron County area is
served by the main Goderich
Manpower office and a branch in
Exeter. Hey said that county
unemployment figures rose to 967
at the end of October as compared
with 905 at the sante time last
year.
"The figures don't mean that
mach since month by month
figures differ," he said. "You
have to look at the yearly figure.
The Goderich area is holding up
well and the figures are good
u)mparcd to other years or
Lumpared toothet• provinces."
Ile also indicated that the
winter months were notoriously
slow for employment mainly clue
to the absence of construction.
13ut a sagging construction
industry has had little to offer at
auty time this year.
Hey explained that the
unemployed are willing to work at'
any job and the bulk of the
opportunities in the Goderich
office generally call for waitresses
and other related jobs.
"What we can't get right now
are skilled mechanics," Hey
remarked. "You need a skill right
now to find a job and we have had
requests for welders, mechanics
avid carpenters.,,
The job market has been
especially depressing for young
people and even more so for
3oung people without a skill. And
training programs have been
especially helpful in this area.
The Canada Manpower
industrial Training Program, a
cost sharing program between
Manpower and private
employers, has filled positions for
\\filch skilled workers were not
available, filled vacancies that
have resulted from expansion or
provided skilled jobs for
employees who may have been
laid off otherwise.
Last year in Huron County 120
people were trained throught he
Huron Hope
Encourages disabled
Huron Hope staff provides hope
for youngsters with a disability
Tucked away on a residential
sideroad about two miles south of
Grand Bend is a school that as
Pele put it 'is for the kids.' The
Huron Hope Day Nursery School.
located in the Alhambra Hall is a
day school, intended to give
children with a learning disability
a chance at developing the skills
which they have at their disposal.
At present there are six
children enrolled, with ages
ranging from four to eight.
'It's the level of progresion and
not the age which is the important
factor,' says .loan Smith, school
supervisor.
One of the things which the
school emphaasizcs is developing
the motor development skills of
the children. '
t.n.
Such
activities as
the obstacle course, circle time
which requires rhythmic singing
and clapping, help to enhance
their motor skills.
One of the reasons for the
establishment of the nursery,
which operates four half days per
veck, was to allow for the orderly
)rogression to the Huron Hope
lay school at Huron Park and
hen possibly to some form of
sheltered workshop such as Arc
;ndustries at Dashwood.
Don Campbell, Executive
Director for the South Huron and
District Association for the
Mentally Retarded says that it is
well established that exposure to
some type of educational system
is beneficial to the development
of a learning handicapped person;
'It allows them to function more
independent lv.'
'i•he volunteen aspect is very
important for the continued
success of the Nursery School,"
continues Don Campbell.
Between 30 and 35 people have
volunteered to spend a few
mornings per week at the school
according to Ms. Smith. With this
number of people on hand it is
possible to have more than a one
to one student -teacher ratio.
"We're of the opinion that
there are more children in the
area that could make use of the
school but don't because the
parents believe it will cost money
to send them. The nursery school
is free," Campbell said. '1'hc
children are picked by taxi in the
morning and taken honk after the
school is done.
In a world where the pursuit on
individualism seems to be on the
upswing, its reassuring to sec

their formative stages of life.
the industrial training program
and the number of people
involved in the program this year
is expected to trach 200. The
training program mainly deals
with skilled trades in the metal
\corking industry, such as welders
and machinists but in this area
has expanded to farm and auto
Ixtrts trades.
The Canada Employment and
Immigration Commission has also
announced a new program (JET)
aimed at providing jobs for young
people and expanding the labor
r
force to meet skilled
recluire nlents.
Under the program employers
.ire subsidized 5(1 per cent of an
employee's wage for a period of
26 weeks and prospective
employees are selected for jobs to
suit their interests and aptitudes
and given an orientation course to
prepare them for the work force.
Also in the County 16 Wren have
leen employed through a
provincial rur al bcautilic atrion
project. The Wren will be
employed in the provincially
funded program 1111111 next
M arch.
Huron County Development
officer Spence Cummings said
that although there is a need for
more industry in the county
lxople here are not feeling the
effects of unemployment as
compared to other regions or
provinces.
He cited the fact that the base
of the jobs in the county are
related to agriculture as the major
contributing factor to high
employment.

HP Presbytery
Huron -Perth Presbytery of the
United Church of Canada met in
the United Church at Grand 'Bend
on November 22nd with chairman
Rv. John 0 estercicher of Clinton
in the chair. A highlight of the
sleeting was the reception Of one
candidate and one intended
candidate for the ministry of the
United Church. The candidate is
Robert Wittnler who has been
serving with his wife in Japan and
is now a student at Emmanual
College in 'foronto. The intended
candidate is Peter Snell. Mr.
Snell is a mature person with
experience as a teacher. He is the
son of the Rev. Harold Snell of
Exeter and is now. attending
Western University.
The Presbytery heard the Rev.
Raoul Qu;mnlie of Florence.
Ontario speak about the work of
the church in the Caribbean. Mr.
Ouanunie is himself from that

'hie family life program was
started three years ago for Grades
7 and 8 students in the separate

committee and he have started to
kook at a program for the junior
area. "'That will be our next
thrust," he said.
A strongly worded letter will be
sent to .lohn Sweeney, MPP
(Kitchener -Wilmot) Liberal critic
for colleges and universities,
drawing attention to the oversight
of not having a representative
from any Catholic organization
involved in education, on a panel
meets at Bend
area. He pointed out that the
United Church purpose in world
mission is "to share in Christ
Jesus" and he continual that we
have no mission in traditional
terms now. He was referring to
the fact that in all instances
people are sent by the United
Church in response to requests
from the local areas and they are
to work with and often under the
guidance of the local people. Mr.
Quammie gave a review of the
history of the islands of the
Caribbean and the
attires and religious traditions
there. The Unit ed Church is
involved its Haiti, Jamaica,
Trinidad and the Cayman Island.
He pointed out that the Church in
the Caribbean is growing and the
general trend is quite different
from the experiences in North
America where many churches
are having some struggles.
The Presbytery heard a report
from the seminar on "New
directions for the rural Church"
which was held in Cedar Glenn
November 7t11 - 9th. The attitude
was one of great enthusiasm and
a new range of possibilities for
the churches of small
membership. Among the
possibilities were the clustering
of small churches with some
shared leadership; "tent maker"
ministry • its which the minister
works part time at a secular
occupation; and the additional
training of lay leadership.

TREASURER RETIRES — Clarence Greer (centre) and his wife Marie are congratulated by West Waw
anosh reeve Bill Lyons at a reception dance held in Lucknow Friday It was held in honour of the retirement
of the West Wawanosh treasurer, Clarence Greer after 28 years of service. (Lucknow Sentinel)
Whelan
applauded a.
OFA annual
convention
Over 400 delegates at the
Anna' Clln Vent ion of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture
applauded E=ugene \Vhclan.
Federal Minister of Agriculture.
when he said: "I ‘Vant to ensure
that Canadians are getting the
best value for their feed dollar.
but not at the expense of the
farmer." Right now in Canada it
is estimated that 13.8°o of every
take -honk dollar is being spent
on steals taken in the home. This
compares with 26.5% in Italy,
21.5`%x, in the U.K. and 15°, in the
U.S.
Mr. Whelan said food did cost
less 25 years ago. but it wasn't
cheaper. Back in 1951 an average
hour's pay bou ght 1.2 lbs. of
sirloin steak. In 1976 that. same
hour's pay bought 3.5 Ib s. of
sirloin.
Mr. Whelan was angry about a
recent Statistics Canada
announcement that food and
housing were the main culprits in
a one -per -cent jump in the
consumer price index. Hestsid the
C`.P.I. is not a cost of living index,
only a single list of 325 consumer
items that are compared monthly.
Mr. Whelan said it is time
Canada becomes known as the
bad guy in trade negotiations,
because the country needs to
compete as aggressively as
everybody else. He suggested
that input on such negotiations
should come from the producers
and the processors -- the peoplewk
o see the industry from a grass
roots position.
Canada must start pushing
other countries to lower tariff and
non -tariff barriers. Mr. Whelna
said.
He concluded by saying "We
have the farmeirs. We have the
expertise. We have the land. But
we still get nowhere unless we
tailor our production and manage
our resources carefully. We must
produce to fill existing needs. We
cannot afford to produce for
production's sake alone."
West Wawanosh
treasurer honoured
at reception
.Clarence Greer
who has acted as treasurer for the
Township of West Waw anosh for
28 years was honoured at a
reception, dance on Friday night
in the Lucknow Legion hall. Ile
was presented with an engraved
gold desk set comprised of a clock
pen and and thermometer, He
also received a serving tray with
matching glasses and ice bucket.
Congratulating Marie and
Clarence Greer is West
Wawanosh Reeve Bill Lyons, Mr.
Greer plans to continue his main
street business, called Greer T.V.
and Electric. He is active in the
Lucknow community as treasurer
of the Lucknow United Church.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 7, 1977-23
Sports editorial Baintons finally
Support needed win , 7 to 4
Sunday night was a fascinating night at the Blyth arena. The
Industrial Hockey League was playing.
But where were the fans? A few loyal supporters were at the
arena on Sunday •• most of them women. Of co urse, some of the
women were the wives of the hockey players so they did most of
the cheering but when they cheered, they cheered for the whole
team 10)1 just their husbands.
So the women were doing their part, but where were the male
hockey fans -• men whom you couldn't drag away from a
Saturday night hockey game on ty, but who didn't go out to
watch a good 1101111' town game.
Some hockey fans stood out in the warner part of the arena.
h's good that they came out 10 sec the hockey games, but it
would help more if they could go out on 1he benches and provide
support for their teams.
Oh, ves your 11051' I111'l1S s0 red that you could replace Rudolph
as Santa's new reindeer, and your feet and hands get so cold,
they feel like they could fall off, but you can forget this agony in
the excitement of a good game.
And the Blyth pla\crsa0 put on a good show. But sometimes
thev get a little too carried away in their enthusiasm. On Sunday
evening, the puck went up quite a few times into the area where
the fans were seated. Please, fcllas have a little respect for the
people who support you and take it easy.
If you want some inexpensive entertainment the Blyth hockey
team are there to provide it.
So, bundle up in your thermal underwear, and go support your
favourite team.

DANCING THEIR WAY TO STARDOM — The Little Macs,steptancers from the
Walton area were just part of the Blyth Tots to Teens Variety Night which kept
Blyth residents entertained for about two hours on Thursday night.

Mirror -"stormy" success
About 225 people showed up
for the production of the play,
"Mirror, Mirror," at the Blyth
Memorial hall on Tuesday
afternoon.
The play, a production of
Theatre Go Round for the Victoria
Playhouse in Pctrolia managed to
keep students from schools in
Scaforth, Exeter, Clinton and
Wingham entertained for two
Inxtrs.
The play was a skillful
adaptation of works from various
Canadian women authors. The
characters were adapted from
Sylvia Frasers, Pandora; Alice
Munro's Something I've Been
Meaing to tell You; and Dance of
the Happy Shades; Margaret
Atwood's, Surfacing; and The
Edible Woman; Margaret
Laurence's, The Diviners; The
Stone Angel, A jest of God, and
The Fire Dwellers; and Gabrielle
Roy's, The Road Past Altemont.
One of the actresses who was
familiar to Blyth theatre goers
was Angela Gei and the play was
skillfully directed by another
person familiar to Blyth -James
Roy.
The three actresses, Wendy
Creed, Angela Gei and Elizabeth
Hanna manage to effectively,
t:ortray women as women see
themselves and their attitudes
toward life in general.
Starting with childhood, the play
shows how little girls will react to
others attitudes toward them and
how it will affect their attitude
toward themselves,
Elizabeth Hanna gives an
especially strong performance as
Morag, the little girl who nobody
understands and who already at
the age of 12 is a cynic and she
excels in her performance as the
teenage Morag at a high school
dance who isn't the flirting kind
as she wonders about lovely
wung blondes who flir t and

say,"Oh gee," to everything a
boy says to them.
But her strongest performance
is that of the old ladies that she
plays. She is effectively self
pitying as the old mother who
refuses to leave her home and
binds her daughter with her heart
ailments even though the
daughter has a job opportunity in
Vancouver. She is just as effective
as the old lady who is no longer
able to do for herself, but refuses
to be waited on.
Wendy Creed, also gives her
best performance as the woman
who is growing olcier. She is
especially effective as the mother
who now not only has her own
problems of growing old to worry
about, but who must cope with
the problems of raising a teenage
daughter as well.
Angie Gei is good as the child,
Pandora, who never seems to get
her own way, and whose mother
says she doesn't have any feeling,
but Angie playing Pandora proves
she does, as she screams and
yells and provides some of the
play's comedic moments. She
does an excellent job of
portraying Rachel, the woman
burdened by a sick mother and
tapped by a guilty conscience
when she wants to go anyplace.
Only one really major flaw
could be noticed in the play and
that was when Wendy Creed got
up to put a record on and the
music started playing before she
put the needle on the record.
The audience didn't care. They
were already entranced by Ms.
Creed's performance as an
alcoholic mother and just laughed
at this little incident as though it
were an actual comedic part of the
play.
lhc props consisted simply of a
couple of beds, chairs, a counter
and a few other things but they
were all that were needed along
with the actresses excellent
performances to stimulate
audience feeling.
Director Jim Roy has kept this
play effectively fast paced so that
the audience is always in
suspense as to what is to happen
next.
The three actresses, together,
managed to capture the essence
of womanhood, the feelings, the
attitudes and reflections, and at
the sank time managed to
rapture the imagination of the
audience.

An Agency of the
Province of Ontario
County council briefs
OFA
supports
levy
plan
Delegates to the annual
meeting of the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture approved in
principle a proposed levy plan
which would require all farmers
in the Province to support the
farm organization of their choice.
The proposal, which would
require an amendment to the
Municipal Act, would have each
Municipality collect the levy,
based on assessment value of the
farm, when they collect the y cars
property tax.
There would be a
suggested minimum of $15.00
and a suggested maximum of
$100.00 so that an undue burden
would not be put on anyone. As
an example, if the levy were set at
'/2 mill on a 100 acre farm with a
$400.00/acre assessment, the
amount raised would be 520.00.
Mery Smith, a Huron County
Delegate, said at present, only
one-third of Ontario farmers now
belong to OFA and pay an annual
membership fee of 535.00.
Therefore, less than half of
Ontario Farmers contribute to the
support of any farm organization,
yet everyone reaps the benefits. If
all farmers in Ontario contribute
Ito a farm organization,
agriculture would have a much
stronger voice, he said, and more
lobbying could take place at the
Ontario Government level.
Gerry Fortune, Regional
Director from N.E.Huron said the
OFA needs more money that can
be raised by yearly membership
drives.
18,000tour museum
The Huron County Pioneer
Museum had a busy season with
18,000 pouring through the
turnstiles to have a look at the
thousands of exhibits there.
Museum curator
Raymond Scotchmer also
reported that the sale of souvenirs
was up slightly to about $3,000.
One of the newest exhibits at
the museum is the eight foot by
nine foot china cabinet from the
estate of the late Narcisse
Cantin, St, Joseph. The china
cabinet is from the hotel which
was located at St. Joseph in the
early part of 1900.
The report stated, "Who
knows? If the Hydro plant does
come to Huron County possibly
el) once again St. Joseph might be a
thriving community"
Scholarships from Huron
County were announced.They go

Egmondville who is at the

Tips for winter
Chewing gum is okay in winter.
The Canadian Red Cross Society
says it helps keep facial muscles
flexible in extreme cold, and •thus
helps guard against frostbite. Be
prepared for winter this year and
stay out of trouble. It's your
winter, Use it wisely.
******
Four inches or 10 centimetres
isn't much. But you need at least
that much ice between you and
the water before that pond or lake
is safe to walk on. The Canadian
Red Cross Society reminds you
that it's your winter. Use • it
wisely.
******
A simple case of frostbite can
lead to amputation. Keep the
head and neck area protected,
facial muscles flexible and
dothing warm and comfortable.
The Canadian Red Cross reminds
you that it's your winter. Use it
wisely.
