Even mother's milk is dangerous Picture please a new mother breastfeeding her baby --- a Lision which conjures up words such as lender, beautiful, ‘vholcsonlc and natural. This vision was rudely shaken by a program viewed on CTV Sunday night. The opening statement that caught our attention was to the effect tlfat mothers milk contains cuntanlinants that are fatal to all of us if allowed to build up in our bodies. Starting with the once umsidere(1 purest of foods, the program included fruits meats, ,urd processed foods. It would -appear our society is at a tradeoff position and we should consider the advantages and disadvantages of perfect fruits and vegetables and finely marbled pleats. Insects devour 13% dour food before it is even harvested. From the Farmers standpoint this can't continue and therefore pesticides and herbicides are employed to afford us a greater harvest yield in this land of plenty. Cattle and other edible livestock are treated \Lith antibodies and growth agents to encourage greater quantity and quality of nkat. The chin result is that the chemicals .uld materials used to achieve the results we demand may be fat al to our health in the long run. The key point here is the degree of concentration. If we as a whole try to avoid products that we know may be over proccsscd we nlay stand a chance but will the farmers who use the chemicals to make possible the products which we as the consumer demand? The whole situation deserves a doscr look by us as well as by our government agenices who have the responsibility of policing the use of chemicals. The progranl,aired (luring prime tine, informed the audiences about farmers who had grown good and healthy crops of tomatoes without the intensive chemical programs available only u) find his crop was not acceptable by certain unreason- ably high standards for say tomatoes for ketchup. We are not all ignorant of the problems of eating in this world of fast and quick process foods. We have all surely heard about the contents of hotdogs, bacon, maraschino cherries and other lovely items with red dye. So not tot) much really phases our easy attitude about What to Cat or what not to cat. But to have pointed out that the first food that will meet our children could be fatal, is scarcy as well as hard to imagine. Mothers milk is one of the pure foods still available but under thoughtful scrutiny it would be only reasonable that the old phrase you arc what you eat could be applied here.

The Huron County Health Unit offered such a seminar on family education last week to Auburn area residents. Letters were sent out to the new mothers and parents of preschoolers in the area and posters were placed in the post office. Two public health nurses showed up at the basement of the Auburn United Church to talk to a crowd of zero. No one had come so of course there were no questions about how parents might cope with queries from their children concerning love and family and human sexuality. There is a basic problem of communication here. To want some questions answered does not mean a family needs help but that there is an awareness of problems that can arise and that such problems should be handled with open and honest answers. The benefits of such a seminar can tray result from concerned people talking with the nurses. Once they are there the people are quick to pick up the pace and realize that there are questions for which they need answers. It is too bad that more adults are not motivated to take advantage of such services offered by the Health Unit and which can contribute to a better informed and happier family unit. A responsibility Television has been a fact of life for more than 25 years, but it is only recently that its potentially harmful aspects have begun to be recognized. While major studies of Television viewing indicate there can be ill effects from watching too much, indiscriminantly, the damage there may be to future generations whose parents have been raised on television serials, cartoons and violent shows is as yet undetermined. But instances of its harmful effects are already surfacing. Many of us remember the 15 year old Florida youth who was charged with the murder of an elderly lady, and who pleaded temporary insanity caused by almost constant exposure to violent TV programs. The plea was declared invalid, and he was found guilty in the eyes of the law. But it is significant that this was the first time television as a potential cause of insanity came to the attention of the public. Another case which smacks of the influence of television was one involving the robbery of an Australian Bank. What was remarkable was not the fact of the robbery but the age of the suspects. The two males accused of the crime were only 11 years old. Though these are isolated incidents, they reflect what many people increasingly suspect is a Targe and growing problem. The point to be taken from them is that television must not be taken lightly. Used wisely, by responsible parents capable of judging a programs merits, it can be a valuable tool to knowledge. Used imprudently, for escapism without thought or judgment, it can be harmful, especially to children. The responsibility to use it wisely rests with every parent, and its a responsibility that must be recognized and acted upon. Snow laden The joys of country living People I'm sure think l'm crazy for wanting to live in the country. I get these sirangc looks from people when I tell them where I live, particularly in the winter time. For so long people thought of living in the anunty as a sort of punishment that must be taken as part of being a farmer, along with low prices and crop failures. People were supposed to long for the day when they could escape to the city, or at least to town. A few years back the trend started to go the otherw'ay. City people began to drive out in the country and look at abandoned farm louses and offer mond' to farmers to sell them. The farmers would shake their heads in disbelief, the city folk would think they were bargaining for more money and the price mad go up. The farmer would walk away with more money for a ramshackle old house he'd planned on tearing down and a couple of acres than he'd have gotten from a whole wears barley crop. He'd tell his neighbours about the crazy city people and the neighbours too would shake their heads as they saw the local building supply company bring truckload after truckload of supplies to the place. Imagine, pouring good money after bad into that old shack. These city people had more money than brains. And they probably did too. But they also had aleeling of loss that drove therm back to the country. They deeply needed the things that farm people took for granted. things like the sound of the wind in the trees and beautiful sunsets. I spent only three years in the city hut those three years were enough( to make 01e rea11/c what tremendous advantages I'd had growing up in the country. Even living in a very pretty village or small town couldn't give the same kind of gut feeling you get in the country. why 1 live in the country is most easily gums vercd by last Sunday mourning. \Ve'd had several miserable clans before, the kind of drys when people really think you're bananas when you want to live in the country. You may even think you're a little nuts wursell if you're planning to go somewhere telt you're worried about whether you'll get home safely or not. We had a blizzard on Friday and Saturday had been one long, never-ending snowfall. But Sunday the sun carne up over the hill and the sky was a brilliant blue and the world topside was a fairyland. All the snow that seemed like such a pain in the neck the clay To the editor By Keith Roulston lxfore, turned the white landscape into the rarest picture in the world. It law undisturbed for a mile in any direction. The pine trees were weighted down by the millions of crystals that reflected the light back in sparkles of light like ars many tiny mirrors. Outside the air w•as crisp and a strange silence lay over everything. The foot -deep srww• muffled everything. The \Ohne blanket of snow was so natural, so untouched by humans that you hated to take the first step ;nut break the spell. Nothing, no precious jewel, no painting, no photograph can equal the beauty ul' such a scene. The colour of the leaves in fall, the mellow greeness of the new grass and leaves in spring, the rhythm of the swaying grain fields in summer are all delights of country living, but even they can't match such a morning. For there is in those leautiful summer mornings the knowledge that in a few minutes or at most hours, the beauty will disintegrate, like the beauty of a soap bubble floating through the air suddenly c\aporates when it touches something sharp. Perhaps you think I'm overly romantic about the whole thing. Perhaps I ant but I think 111 tyke you have to see t he snow turned to black sludge on a (lowntow n Toronto street lefore you really can appreciate the immaculate whiteness of such a morning. I think maybe you have to live with the constant throb of city traffic, with noises seeping through the \dulls from the next ap;utnunt`;u .dl hours of the day and night before you can appreciate the silence of such a morning. No ;umount of money can buy the feeling you gel when you look on that kind of scene. That's why so ntaomy pcoplc hank been so cavilling to give up good paying john in the cities to give ftp exciting careers to move to time country. 1>L•spite the excitement of the clay, despite the 11111, fun• fun you're supposed to have in the Lily if you pay attention to the whole media I>liv, there is something in many people that mikes them need the kind of precious nonments that only nature can provide. Eaton's can't sell you the feeling you get when \011 look out the window Sunday morning. It can't be honied, It can't be imitated. It's there fi• a few moments, and then it's gone and you realize that all the "hardships" of country living, all the week-long snow storms, all the getting stuck, all the strange looks you get from friends, all these things are worth it for that otic rare moment.

St. Jean Auburn People pay very little attention to the Christmas cards they receive though they represent the total achievement of Christian Art. We fail to realize that the vast majority of people couldn't read. During the Dark Ages that could mean n inety percent. The I3ihle had to be narrated, illustrated in many ways; neurals, statues, stained glass windows. Architecture was put to work as «ell so spires, bells, vaulted ceilings added much to awe and majesty. The Scriptures cams alive in sound, colour, mood and even incense. ('hristInas cards have very little to do with illiteracy since they all have a written message, Christmas feasts the eyes, the cars, the palate, and, of course sweet scents often are wafte d to our nose. 'I•hc fact is. We may have the whole background of Christian Art projected in Christmas cards yet ‘'c bundle thein up by New t'ear's Day and discard theme sooner or later. The art, the thoughtfulness, the message and the abundance arc so swiftly put aside for other activity that art scenes to lose all ability to communicate. This tells us something of the fact that our cnlelllIUnicatioll is audio-visual aid speedy yet we lone the fact that AR' is a mean's %vIiole life expressed by stokes of brush. The praying hands txiin1ing catches the message of subject and painter. A mean can reveal his faith in his Art. In the case of Christmas cards there are three persons' attempt to reveal their faith. 'I'hc art, the sender and the recipient conic into contact. Christmas cards are reproduced mechanically and a chord cannot get the absorbed attention of a painting in an art gallery but it should. If art is flinnbsy it is because we too attach so little to the human clement of a card rather than to the mechanical. Gather your cards together and examine them by grouping. Have the Bethlehem scene together followed by Church, Bible, Bells, ('anodes, Choirs and such, then ‘%intry scenes, family Christmas, plants, animals or family snapshots. One then secs a general m essage and the specific ones. One sees what art can do for us and at each Christmas. The cards say something to us, about us and through us ours are saying something important to our chosen people. Art is a very rare privilege and not to be cheap. The blind will miss all of the colour this Christmas, the deaf all of the sounds and all of the ill will settle liar less than the joy of well-being. It is something of a sin to let art be common or commonplace.

As critic for the Liberal Party . 1 suggested that the Government establish a marketing agency for recycled materials, and establish no new landfill sites after 1981. In my remarks I expressed confidence that a marketing agency to coordinate the supply of reclaimed materials and to seek customers is workable. Such an agency could also promote and accelerate the building of reclamation and recycling plants, and according to the Ministry's own figures these plants would save more than $11 million every year for the ninety percent of Ontario's garbage that would be affected. Ontario ntuncipalitics are not taking up the Provincial Government's offer to fund 50 percent of the capital costs of solid waste recovery systems, and private enterprise should be encouraged to come into the field. It is my belief that the Province's aim to recycle ninety percent of solid waste by 1989 is achievable, but at the Ministry's present rate of progress is completely unrealistic. 'During the same considerations Environment Minister George Kerr said that Inco Ltd. in Sudbury cannot meet a Government imposed control Farmers should discard "nice guy" image, Whelan says Federal Minister of Ariculture the Honourable Eugene Whelan says the time has come for Canadian Farmers to discard the nice guy image and be the bad guys when it comes to discussing agricultural policy, the setting of commodity prices and dealing in the world market place. •This brought a barrage of table thumping, hand clapping, and cheers from the 450 delegates attending the 39 annual Ontario Federation of Agriculture ,convention last week in Hamilton. According to Whelan the consumer is getting his money's worth from his food dollar. FIC said "Back in 1951 an average hour's pay bought 1.2 pounds of sirloin steak. In 1976 that same hours pay bought three and a hall' pounds." "A 1976 hour would buy four times as many eggs, two and a half times as much chicken, and over twice as many pork chops, twice as much milk, potatoes, apples and bread compared to 25 years ago." Whelan said the treason consumers still complain about high priced food is "because most people resent paying out for the real necessities." Ile said luxury minded society considers vacations, fancy cars and television se Is as the real necessities, not food. Another• reason for• this said Whelan, is because in a credit oriented society its hard to pay cold cash for anything. "Food is a cash 00 the harrelhead proposition". in his address at 'Tuesday nights banquet Whelan said he wets in support of marketing boards. He said "Marketing agencies are a good idea." "They work". "'They're primarily producer oriented, producer organized." Marketing boards, said Wheln, "know first hand what ancl where the problems are in the marketing system." Concerning the Corn Marketing Proposal that the O.F.A. Grains Committee has drawn up Wheln says "1t should have more punch". He said "Eventually that board, to be as effective and as efficient as. it could be has got to have the right to buy and sell." "No two ways about it." • The report from the gains Committee says a corn marketing Operation Life/tile Did you know that' a small beer contains as much alco- hol as a strong drink and that six ounces or more of alcohol per day can lead to alcoholism and cause cir- rhosis of the liver?' bcuu•d with power to buy and sell or with pricing is, not the practical solution to current difficulties. The committee's reasoning on this is that 40 per cent of Ontario grain is fed on Ontario farms, without entering commercial channels. With so many kinds of buyers and so many individual buyers and seller's, the committee feels an agency to handle all corn sales is out of the question for the foreseeable future. the O.F.A. Grains Committee said in its report, "An agency would be constrained to set prices in direct relation to the Chicago corn price in any case." Whelan criticized several parts of this proposal. He concluded "It's a start, the corn marketing pnrposal makes a lot of sense. But it doesn't go far cnout:h. "Everyone has to start somewhere but I would be less than honest if I didn't tell you that I would be happier to sec a proposal for a board along the lines of the Ontario winter Wheat Marketing Baord." order to reduce suphur dioxide emissions from its present 3,600 tuns a clay to 750 tons a clay by December 31, 1978. Inco is the largest single industrial source of sulphuric acid pollution in North America. •I'he lnironment Minister said a new control order is being drawn up by his ministry. Despite its concern about the number of people out of work in the province, the Ontario Government docs not plan any job creation programs this winter, Premier William Davis said this week. Latest unemployment figures show 253,000 people out of work in the province. Mr. Davids said in the Legislature that he didn't think it would be constructive for the provincial government to create winter projects at this time. Such solutions were short term and in order to solve the problem on a more lasting basis, "It docs require on the part of all governments a degree of intestinal fortitude that is not always easy to demonstrate". The 20th illegal strike since may 1975, by members of the same union at the Lummus Co. of Canada Ltd. project at Douglas Point., was just one 100 many for the Ontario labour Relations Board. The Assessment Act It set aside its normal practice of not issuing a declaration of an illegal strike if the strikers are back at work at the time of a hearing, and issued a cease and desist order against unlawful strikes for the term of the current collective agreement. During the estimate considerations of the Resources Development field, the Honourable Rene Brunelle revealed that the Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning, commonly known as the Porter Commission, established in 1975 to look into the long term planning of Ontario's electrical power system, was originally slated to report late this year or early next year. However, interest in the topic of nuclear power has been extremely intense and this interest has resulted in the scheduling of thirty extra days of hearings during the January to March period in 1978 for nuclear hearings alone. This will allow the Conirnissioner to submit his interim report containing his views and conclusions on the nuclear program by June 30th, in time for this item to be considered by the Select Cornniittee of the Legislature which will begin its review of the nuclear commitment on July 1st, 1978. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS AND TENANTS As a result of a delay in the passage of recent amendments to The Assessment Act, the normal return of the assessment rolls in municipalities and localities in Ontario will be delayed. The Honourable Margaret Scrivener, Minister of Revenue, has therefore extended to January 19, 1978, the date upon which the annual assessment roll is returned in all municipalities and localities in Ontario, EXCEPT those municipalities located in The Regional Municipality of Waterloo where the day upon which the assessment roll is returned will be extended to March 16, 1978. This extension affects the time period during which owners and tenants may appeal their assessments. As a result, the final date for lodging a complaint with the Assessment Review Court in respect of any assessment contained in the assessment rolls is extended from January 19, 1978 to February 9, 1978. In The Regional Municipality of Waterloo the date for lodging a complaint has been extended to April 7, 1978. Ontario MINISTRY OF REVENUE Margaret Scrivener Minister of Revenue T.M.

Among those attending were, from L., Jan Van Beers, Hullett, Maurice Bean, Hullett, Mery Smith, McKillop and Bill Pullen, Morris Township. OFA delegates urged to 'Buy Canadian' Buy Canadian! urged delegates at the Ontario Federation of Agriculture Convention held in Hamilton Nov. 27 - 30. Delegates were strongly in favour of having Canadian agricultural products marked as "produced in Canada". "Consumers should support Canadian agricultural products, said Doug Fortune, chairman of the Huron County Federation Consumer Liaison Committee. "By doing so they are getting a quality product • and helping support industry and employment in Canada. Consumers should realize that buying food items imported from other count itis may not only put a Canadian farmer out of business, but truckers, food processors and many city workers out of jobs too". "Consumers should be given the opportunity of choosing 1 between Canadian produced food products and those that are imported", said Gordon Hill of Varna. Delegates pointed out that the label "Canada No.l' does not mean items carrying this label were produced in Canada. Ontario Agriculture Minister, Bill Newman, told the convention of a program called "Foodlands Ontario" initiated by the Ontario government to promote agricul- tural products from this province. Frank Drea, Minister of Correctional Institutions has already announced that Ontario institutions will be serving only fruit juices produced in this province. q\MRTE W11ij8r New Year's Eve Smorgasbord Dinner, Hats & Noisemakers: & Prizes.

Those attending the annual banquet of the Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association heard about agricultural conditions in Australia and New Zealand from Dixie Cameron of 1 ucknmy. N1rs, Cameron spent live months —down under- early in 19" on an Ontario Junior Farmer exchange program. She said Most productive acreage in the two countries was irrigated. Their rainfall is short from 10 to 12 inches to be practicable for fanning. Huth countries are livestock oriented but prices received by fanners for beef and Iamb is Hutch Icss than in Canada. The price for market Iambs is about onc•yuar ter of what it is in Canada. This makes the price of wool worth about one-half of the total sheep product. In Canada, sale of wool actually creates a loss. Associate Ag. Rep. for Huron, Mike Miller said, "After paying for clipping and shiping, our farmers are behind as far as the wool is concerned." After \vctching and hearing about ,agriculture in New Zealand and Australia, Miller commented, "'this mikes farming in Huron County look pretty lush." ' Soils and crops specialists for Huron and Perth Pat Lynch gave a detailed report on a number ()I' research projects held in the two counties during 1977. the bindweed control project on the Ushorne township farm of Alvis Lovell was not as successful as first thought. Lynch commented, "Three treatments appeared to give good control by September, 19711, however, one year later it was the tops the previous year and most of the bindweed regrew." On the subject of these tests, Mike Miller said, "We report 00 what actually happens and not what we would like to have happen." A number of Huron and Perth farmers co-operated with the University of Guelph in bean insect and insecticide survey obvious the chemicals only killed under the direction of Dr. Cliff Ellis. The granular insecticides tested by Dr. Ellis in 1976 were effective for controlling bean insects, but only for the first 3I clays after application. "Is it true I'cl now have to work longer to collect Unemployment Insurance. Parliament has decided that the qualification time should be longer everywhere, and that people who live in areas of high unemployment should be given certain advantages over those who live in areas where jobs are more plentiful. Which means that you now need more insurable work weeks to qualify for Unemployment Insurance benefits. "I can see why. But just how long would I have to work to be eligible?" From 10 to 14 weeks, depending on where you live. In regions of low unemployment, claimants need up to 14 weeks of insurable employment to get UI benefits. This will only happen in places where it's easier to get and keep a job. In regions of high unemployment, claimants now need as little as 10 weeks to qualify. "Does this mean get less or that the payments wouldn't last as long?" No change in payment amounts. The UI benefit rate stays at two-thirds of your average weekly insurable earnings. The maximum is $147, less tax. The maximum time for which anyone may receive benefits has changed slightly, however. 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. Right now, we measure unemployment by dividing Canada into 16 economic regions. Since major insect infestations occur a month after planting and granular insecticides are only effect lye in the plant for the need not he applied at planting time. Foliar insecticides can he effectively applied later in the season if problems result. Aherbicide applicator designed by .lint O'Toole and Fred Bowers of Centralia College of Agricultural Technology was tested in bean fields for control• ling milkweed. The applicator consisted of a fell roller mounted on bicycle wheels. lite applicator was pushed through the white bean fields and herbicide was rolled off the felt roller onto any milkweed plants that were higher than the beans. 771r chemical used was Roundup.

"What else is changing about UI?" Not much. The basic two week waiting period remains the same everywhere. And so do the rules on the waiting period when a claimant has left his or her job for no good reason or been fired for misconduct. In such cases, a claimant niay have to wait up to eight weeks from when employment ends until benefits start. Then there's maternity, sickness and age 65 benefits. Previously, sickness benefits were only payable during the first 39 weeks of the claim. Now they're payable at any time during the entire benefit period. Blyth 523-9675 t .i f . Maternity benefits of 15 weeks and the special one-time benefit (equal to three weeks' benefits) at age 65 remain the same. The same people still pay for the program in the same proportions, and the types of employ- ment insurable for UI remain the same, too. "Would I still go to the same UI office to claim?" As explained in the box below, you still go to the familiar locations for both UI offices and Canada Manpower Centres. Watch for changes in your area. Unemployment Insurance has changed for everyone's benefit, including yours. All we ask is that you remember your obligations as well as your rights. If the need should ever arise for you to come to us, we'll make sure you get all the UI benefits to which you are entitled by law. But you must keep up the search for a new job all the time you're getting those benefits.

Employment and Emploi et Immigration Canada Immigration Canada Bud Cullen Bud Cullen Minister Ministre 18—THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 14, 977 Durand resigns, critizes board A long time director on the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board, Phil Durand of Zurich, did not qualify for re- election at Friday's annual meeting at Hensall and criticized the present hoard for their actions during the past year. Mr. D,.rand commented, "the board has done very little to improve marketing conditions. Many recommendations ‘vcre.not implemented." "All major policy decisions were made to satisfy dealers. We nerd strong directors to counter- act the dealers," he continued. "There should he more precise information available from dealers to the hoard. We don't know what dealers have in their elevators in volume and quality. Some dealers are buying on their own account." "Producers have a challenge. The government has given us power under the Marketing Board, but we must use it properly. Our policies and programs must not set up loop- holes," concluded Mr. Durnd. Mr. Durand was replaced as a director for Huron by Varna farmer, Glenn Hayter. Returned were present directors Bob Allan, Murray C rdiff and Joe Miller. Bob Allan agreed there was dissention on the hoard but added, "every decision is compli- cated." Growers want answers Responsibilty of OBMB debated The responsibility of the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board in fulfilling obligations on bean sales generated considerable discussion at Friday's annual meeting for H uron growers at the P ineridge Chalet at Hensall. Manager Charles Broadwell said the board had made forward sales of 815,300 hundred weight of 1977 crop white beans by August 31 and another sales agreement for 38,000 hundred weight were made with Ontario bean dealers. In turn bean dealers made sales to brokers and processors on the expected crop and are now unable to fill the orders. Due to the wet fall weather, the bean harvest was badly curtailed. Broadwell said only 819,0(X) hundredweight had been delivered by Ontario growers, creating a shortage of 34,000 undredweight. Broadwell said the board has received legal opinion that they are not "legally liable for commitments to forward sales made." Frowcr Ed. Kramer suggested the producers and the board accept the moral liability and supply the beans to "bail the dealers out." He said "If we fail to come through in this crisis it will hurt the bean industry for years.,, Ed. Dearing of Perth county agreed that the board had a moral obligation. Broadwell countered "we could possibly be held respon- sible if we had the beans, but, we don't." Crediton arca grower John Grovers said the problem of scarcity of beans was due to the producer who "sold beans to Michigan and others who are holding beans in their barns." In reply Broadwell said the board had no idea how many beans were still on the farm. He added, "the amount could vary from 20,000 to 200,000 bags." In answer to several accusa- tions abaout bean deliveries to Michigan and a bonus possibly being paid for top grade beans, Broadwell replied "you tell us who these people are and we will prosecute." Later in the meeting a motion to have the shortage responsi- bility accepted by the board was soundly defeated. Chairman of the meeting Gordon Hill told the presss Monday,,ne of the points brought out in discussion was the share of financial responsibility which should fall on the grower who was not able to harvest his crop and was paid by crop insurance. In addition Hill said, "all four Huron directors are in favour of a grading system but one point not brought up was the need for a different pool for every grade." Directors and manager Broadwell were concerned with the lack of suitable beans needed for 1978 planting. Broadwell said he thought only about one-half of the cccssary iced is now available, He added. "again it depends on the amount ,f quality of beans still on the farms." Helmut Locwcde of the Ontario Crop Insurance Commission said more than 7 million dollars has been paid to date for white bean claims. Helmut said about two thirds of white bean farmers were covered by insurance paying premiums of seven million dollars. The same amount is paid by the government. The insurance man said he expected all claims would be completed in the next three weeks and should reach close to 10 million. He added "the amount of claims tells us what kind of year you had." He said insurance premiums could he up by about 25 per cent for 1978 crops. The preshunt this past year was in the range of $5.50 per acre depending on the price option. Mr. Allan informed that before agency Ontario prices wer $1 less than Michigan and now they are $ I more. On the subject of grading, director .Joe Miller said, "beans should he properly identified when taken by dealers who are agents of the board." Mr. Miller continued, "Growers of No. 1 brans shouldn't have to wait for their money until lower grades are sold. The board has lowers to implement grading tomorrow." The successful new director Glenn Hayter said he supported grading. He added, "we sell hogs on index, a similar grading system should be used for beans." Ilay township farmer Lloyd Willert suggested beans should be sold directly without dealers and brokers. Elected as committee members 1 for Huron were Murray Dennis, Victor Hartman, Bev hill, Ken McCowan Jr., Glenn Miller, Don Moylan, .John Oke, John Paul Rau, Glen Rihey, Nick Whyte, John Scagren and Robert Anderson. Defeated in the election of directors were Glenn Miller, Richard Erb and .John Bean. Gordon Hill, past president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture was chairman of Ole sleeting which lasted more than seven hours. On several occasions Mr. Hill used the gavel to keep growers from straying from the subject under discussion. Also speaking were chief execut ive officer Lloyd Taylor and arca directors Frank V.anneste, Middlesex and George Sitter, Lambton. Mr. V anneste was returned as Middlesex director at a similar meeting in llderton, 'Thursday, LET US MAKE YOUR OLD FURNITURE: BETTER THAN NEW!

Storm cripples (Continued from Page 1) that no roads were blocked but while visibility was bad and the snow plows had to be called off the roads for awhile he said that they didn't have any major problems. 13111 McArter, road superintendent of Morris Township said they had no real problems there either. He said that some of the plows, though, were out from 4 o'clock in the morning on Thursday until 3 o'clock in the morning on Friday. Clarence Hanna, ' road superintendent of East Wawanosh Township, said that road conditions there werent too bad, except that they couldtttt get through with a sander. "We've been very fortunate," he said. The only problem they had, was with a school bus break down. The bus was stuck on the toad through the entire storm. But it was on the shoulder of the road so that the plows could get around it. Graham Campbell, weather observer on duty at Sky Harbour Airport, Goderich, reported that 17.5 centimetres of snow fell on Thursday and up until Slturday morning the arca received on Thursday it was quite cold and there wastit a lot of wind until the steady snow started around noon hour. After that snow increased in intensity and resulted in a heavy fall. Friday, he said, was a very blustery day with blowing snow and it was very cold. Saturday started out quite cold and the snow really came down starting about noon, and we had a really heavy snowfall till about 3 o'clock. The winds on Thursday came from the southeast at about 15 miles per hour and stayed that way up until about 4 o'clock when the storm approached. As the storm approached the winds increased from 18 to 30 miles per hour. The maximum temperature on Thursday was minus four with a minimum minus 10. On Friday, the winds from the southeast were quite strong averaging 30 and gusting to 45 and at noon the winds were coming at 33 miles per hour and gusting to 45. Later the winds switched direction corning from the northwest at a speed of about 18 miles per hour gusting up to about 28 miles per hour and then the wind slowly subsided. The maximum temperature on Friday was minus 1 with a minimum minus 11. On Saturday, the winds were out of the northwest at a speed of about 18 to 25 miles per hour but they dropped off as the snow started and became multi directional. The winds became Tight and variable around noon and stayed light and variblc for the rest of the afternoon. The temperature ranged from minus 6 to minus 13. Mr. Campbell gave some weather predictions for the rest of this week. He said there will be a few showers on Wednesday and that it will be milder with a high near plus 3. Thursday will be cloudy and windy and colder with a few flurries and a high near plus 1. Friday will be partly cloudy with a high near zero.

According to one tale, the two-year-old child of an Army officer stationed in Hawaii died front eating a poinsettia left (bract). Ibis unfortunate, unfounded story helped scare people into thinking that the poinsettia is poisonous. It has led to the belief that parts of the plant. if ingested by humans or pets, could be lethal. To scientifically resolve the charges against the poinsettia, and to alleviate public fear concerning its alleged toxicity, the floral industry launched an intensive investigation. The Ohio State University research on the poinsettia plant has effectively debunked "old wives' talcs" that the poinsettia is harmful to human and animal health if parts of the plant arc ingested. Board of Ed has chairman candidates 'Tile Huron County 13oard of lilucation considered what may happen if no trustee wanted to chair the hoard itself or board committees in 1978 and established 0 policy at its Monday nlc:ting that would eliminate that problem before it occurcd. Director of education John Cochrane told the board that there is no board by-law outlining the procedure to be followed if no candidate stands for election in 0 new year to any of the board offices. Mr. Cochrane said the board sennas to operate on the assumption that al least one, and hopefully several, trustees will seek a chairmanship and that the ' situation would never occur. He indicated that the possibility was remote when the board had only to elect a chairman and vice chairman but that the possibility becomes greater when six positions are to be filled. Board chairman Herb Turkhcim suggested to the board that any year that situation arises the outgoing advisory committee or executive committee of the board be given the power to appointtrustees to chairmanships. Seperate school trustee Eugene Frayne reminded the board that in a 11011 -election year that situation would be fine but pointed out that in an election year there would be no guarantee that members of the executive committee would seek re election or that they would be reelected by voters. "The executive committee wouldn't be able to nuke appointments until January and there is a possibility of trustees not returning to the board," said Mr. Frayne. Mr. 'Turkhcim said if the platter was "referred" to the executive committee it would alleviate the situation of trustees not returning to the board. He said that if trustees failed to secure a scat on the board the new executive committee established at the twill's inaugural meeting would be given the responsibility to appoint people to chairmanships lino trustee new or returning, volunteered for the position. Colborne - Gocicrich township trustee Shirley Hazlitt said it would he a "Sorry day for the Huron County Board of Education when not enough people on the board were interested enough in education to serve as a committee chairmui Mr. Turkhcim reminded the board that no one is saying that there is not enough interest from trustees to serve. Ile said what is being pointed out is that if the situation arises in any year the board has no policy to handle it. Later in the agenda board members were given an opportunity to announce intentions to seek chairmanships for the conning year. 1300rd policy is such that at last meeting of the year trustees arc given an opportunity to dcicarc candidacy fl' board offices for the coming year. The election of the officers takes place at the board's inaugural meeting in the next year and before those elections the trustees are given a second opportunity to declare candidacy. R.J. Elliott, of Blyth, indicated he plans to seek the position of board chairman. Alex Corrigan, of Wingham, will seek the post of vice chairman—lack Alexander, of Wingham, and John Henderson, of Scaforth, will seek chairmanship of the fiscal and property policy committee. Colborne •- Goderich township trustee Shirley Hazlitt plans to be candidate for the instructional staff and personcl policy committee and no trustee indicated a desire to chair the student policy committee. An opportunity will be made at the inaugural meeting January 3, 1978 at• 2:00 p.nn. for trustees to announce intentions to seek office. The board's first business meeting of the new year will be January 9, 1978 at 1:00 p.m. Children are the world's greatest mimics. If you don't obey safety rules, can you expect them to'?
