This little girl seemed to be trying to find an answer to that question as she crawled closer to the stage area at the Blyth Public School's Christmas concert held last Tuesday night. (Staff Photo) from the publisher and staff at the Blyth Standard Auburn to grow Subdivision Manned The little village of Auburn will soon be growing. A proposal subdivision for the village will probably get underway in the spring, according to Nick Hill, planning consultant for the de- velopment. The proposal was first put forth by Albert Rontpf a developer from Galt %vlto is now working in conjunction witlt Nick Seraphim, another developer from Galt. A booklet put out by Mr. Hill explains the proposed subdivision. "The subject site comprises 8 acres situated in the south of the village, bounded by John Street to the north, King Street to the west and an unopened portion of Egmont Street to the east. The plan shape of the site is near square, nt ensuring 587.20 feet north to south and 654.87 feet east to west. Two residential lots are separated from the property in the north-west and south-west corners, ".,,The site is one block away from the main shopping and community facilities on Godet•ich Street and thus provides convenient access for the future residents of the development." It is believed that Auburn is a beneficial location for 0 sub- division, since it is only twelve utiles away from the town of Godcrich, ten utiles away from the town of Clinton and six miles away from the village of Blyth and many people work or Lind their • entertainment in these towns. The developers and Mr. Hill felt that since Auburn was a peaceful rural area that a number of people would wish to live there and commute to the lar ger centres. "I think you'll find that as Godcrich develops, there'll be a number of people who wish to live in the smaller communities," Mr. Hill said. Sixteen lots are planned for the subdivision, about 16,000 square feet each, or a little over a third of an acre. The number of houses that will he built is not yet known. Mr. Hill submitted his plan to the Ministry of Housing on December 22, 1076 and the Ministry of Housing then circulated the plats to other agencies involved such as the Ministry of the i:nvironntent, the Health Unit, The Board of Education and others for their approval. Mr. Hill's draft plan was approved on August 17, 1977• Everything has gone smoothly with the plans so far, according to Mr. Hill. One thing that remains to be decided is the amount of cash settlement the village will receive since they chose to take cash rather than actual parkland. John Jewitt, reeve of Hallett Township explained that the go-ahead for the project is a co-operative effort. "We work its co-operation with the developers. There are a I'ew condtions tubi they have to meet, They have to meet our commissions of certain subjects and they've been very co-operataive," Mr. Jewitt said. Reeve Jewitt added that the plans were not finalized but that they (Hullett council) were pretty well satisfied that the developers were meeting their conditions. Reeve Jewitt said he hopes that the subdivision will benefit the whole community. "It should provide housing for people seeking accommodation and the township should realize a nice tax benefit from it," he said. Conditions that the developers have to meet include the standard and construction of roads, quality and the amount of water supply to be drilled which will then be turned over to the municipality, storm drainage and general sewer service. 'i'he developers have to ensure that the work is carried out to the satisfaction of the municipality. Mr. Hill says that the land where the subdivision is to be located is high, well drained, has some fine views across the country and fits in comfortably with the overall plan of the village. Other places in Huron County which have had plans made t'or subdivisions are l3elgrave, Hensall and Bogies Bt:.:h, north of Goderich. (Continued on Page 7) . lot .gib' .

But in an other, I sit back and wonder if Frank Sinatra or Guy Lafleur aren't as important as the leaders of their governments. When times get tough, it is as much the entertainers, the sports stars that come to our rescue as the politicians. If we had to dwell on our problems all the time we'd soon all be in mental homes. It's the entertainers who take the pressure off and allow us to remember that things like unemployment and 'inflation and national unity are just momentary problems and that things like sport and art and music will be here long after these problems have passed into history. So the best thing we can wish in 1978 is a whole new crop of giants like Charlie Chaplin and Bing Crosby and Guy Lombardo and Elvis Presley to rescue us from our troubles. LEK AREA' '♦ • ♦` Vs.

A look back The new year is fast approaching and with it comes another opportunity to look in retrospect at the year that is pa ssing. The opening of new year has always been a time for reorganizing ones thoughts and forming those resolutions to do better that so often we fail to carry out The year of 1977 is being reviewed in the media this week and looking back there are many events that will go down as important historical events. There are the peace talks in the middle east and the events in South Africa each of which can have far reaching consequences for the rest of us in this world. But perhaps even more important to those of us in this area was the successful centennial celebration that brought residents and visitors and old timers and voung ones together and contributed a sense of put -,ose and pride to our community. And too there was the increasing attention which the Blyt• Little Theat re received and the attraction held . )r peo,.;e from a widening area. There are lots of problems of course like inflation a.. i oil prices but on'balance we have much for which thankful as we enter the gates of 1978. We ,-talo, freedom as citizens of a nation that attracts incrc :sing recognition from the world. True there are oIia' problems but our standards continue to be the h!gh(.:st of any country in the world.

Oh thanks to the miracle of modern recording, we coups still hear Ring's classic !'m Dreaming of a White Christmas, but somehow knowing he had died in 1077 made it even more sad than normal. Christmas day itself saw another departure in the person of Charlie Chaplin from an even earlier era of entertainment. And in case all three of these scented too old to bring a feeling of loss to say those t111drt' 35, the passing of Elvis Presley must certainly shock even this age group into the realization of how quickly time passes. But if the passing of time can bring a feeling of saltness, it should also bring us a feeling of greater understanding of our world, or patience. Crosby, Lombardo, Chaplin all date back to the terrible Depression years (and beyond). People living in the depression. going through the day to day sufferings must surely have thought it would never end, yet here we are, 40 odd years later and the Depression is only a fading memory. Strange how we don't seem to be getting older until suddenly we see how aged some of the constant things in our lives like pop stars and neighbours and friends have become. It was a shock to lose these giants in the past year. It was a shock to hear that Frank Sinatra was suddenly in his 60's and that the "young" ,lane Fonda had turned 40. Why only yesterday, it seemed, her father Henry had been 40. In the world of sport it seems that time passes even faster.

A couple of years ago, he built a walk-in playhouse for his two granddaughters who live in New- market. ket. The house is eight feet Tong by seven feet wide and is six feet in height. lie designed the building himself. The playhouse was not his first effort however. Before he made it, he had already trade 0 wooden sleigh, a table and chairs and -a rocking horse. Ile became really interested in staking things out of wood \yhen a banker's wife had a pattern for a wooden rocking horse and asked for his help in making it because it called for a sabre saw and she didn't know how 10 use one. He made the rocking horse and then made six more like it which he gave away to children of relations and he also sold one. Most of the wooden thigs he has made he developed from patterns found in papers and magazines, and then Mr. Robinson sometimes makes innovations on the design. This year for his grandchildren he has made a stove, a sink, and a cupboard. The stove's buttons click four times as though there were actual temperatures on them and the taps on the sink are labeled hot and cold. Mr, Robinson says his grand- daughters are great pretenders so it seems like an appropriate gift. As for the stove that he made, his daughter-in-law had seen one in a store in Wingham so Mr. Robinson decided to send away lb the pattern and make one and then he made the sink and cupboard as well, also from patterns. Mr. Robinson's wife Margaret does most of the painting of the toys atter Mr. Robinson is finished with them. Mr. Robinson says he likes staking things for his two grand- children, Kim, 6, and Katie, 4 because they appreciate it, but he also does it as a hobby. Mr. Robinson has had some training to suit his hobby needs. He took night courses in archi- tecture and mechanical drafting and he once built a house in Belgrave. lie's not interested in staking a , career of it, though, he likes to take his time when he's working on something. Besides staking wooden things for his grand- children he has made a few things for his own house as well --a coffee table and a three- rayed wooden holder, Mr, and Mrs. Robinson currently operate Robinson's General Store in Auburn and have been doing so for the past ten years but Mr. Robinson has had other jobs as well. He once grew tobacco, he did molding work, he drove 0 pop truck and he also managed a Co-op for seven years. "To see through the eyes of a child," someone once said, and Mr. Robinson obviously has that necessary talent in himself to make the kind of toys which should endear him to his grand- children forever.

One study is examining the economics of solar heating at three community swimming pools outdoor municipal pools in Richmond Hill and Oakville, and an indoor pool at the Central YWCA in Hamilton. The study will determine the most feasible location for a proposed demonstration project next year. A second study will examine opportunities for the incorporation of solar heating in a proposed new Visitors' Centre at Black Creek Pioneer Village, operated by the Metro 'Toronto and Region Conservation Author- ity. This study will consider the utilization of heat pumps and solar energy for domestic hot water and supplemental space heating. Contracts will soon be awarded for a third study which will examine the application of solar heating at sewage treatment plants. The firm of Okins, Leipciger, Cuplinskas, Kantinker and Associates Ltd. has been awarded the $12,500 contract for the swimming pool study. The $I0,000 Black Creek study is being undertaken by Raymond Moriyama Architects & Planners as an additional feature of the building design. Work on both projects commenced October 1, 1977, and is expected to be completed within three months. In outdoor community pools, the hot water supply for showers, as well as the pool water, can be heated by solar energy. Solar energy can also pre -heat ventilation air for indoor pools. "By demonstrating the use of solar energy in specific settings, the Government hopes to encourage the development of similar projects in the private sector," Energy Minister James Taylor said. The Ontario Government has funded a number of solar demonstration projects under its Renewable Energy Program, and this year will spend a total of $490,000 on the development and demonstration of solar energy.

Let's have a happy new year By Rev. Carl St. Jean, Auburn It is a rather amusing turn of events how a statement turns up in an odd context. The late Guy Lombardo used this claim as a label for his hand. When he became a traditional fixture for New t'ear's Eve celebrations on television this claim could set one to musing. Our year is broken up by days set apart for bol\ celebrations and observances and clays which mark other events. 'these secular non- religious observances are six or so in number lith three religious holy clays which arc now termed holidays. Holidays are days oil school or l\ork and can he of little importance for all their different origins. Beginning with New Year's Day, the year has nine official holidays. Their different nature is kept in focus yet they do get put to use for recreation, relaxation and household chores. Christmas and New Year's Day may illustrate how So much is lost by the fact Mat we slip from one to the other quite mechanically. Christmas is tucked away in a time capsule. Somewhere between "In the beginning" and "In the last days" God entered human history to transfuse it with hope and this hope depends on ('lie's own initiative, Christianity k an antidote for fatalism or despair.

When driving, always be on the alert for children, especially in school zones and residential areas. Teach them the traf- fic rules.

It was once shot through with fatalism and it was because seasons came and went as under some unshakable law. Men were helpless. We are not unfamiliar with this feeling because nun speak often of the rat race. The pessimism of old must have been crushing for when escape was sought 0 carnival mood swept over everyone. The concept of time as 0 cycle and with regularity' crippled man's initiative or produced a kind of paralysis. Nc''Ycar's Day can serve us well if we attempt to measure how much this paralysis caused by pessimisms of the darkest kind has attacked us. Perhaps we have had pessimist's nightmares.

Christmas morning found me fe\ t rishl \\ rapping mV Christmas presents drat were to he tielivert d in a tete hours. The house had been :leaned but ht Christmas (lat the rloor utas littered main this time \gilt gaily coloured strapping and ribbons. Sometimes Christmas is too short. All the c�ritrnunt roans days beforehand when cooking is clone and presents bought and wrapped. Concerts are attended and children are giggling about beim! good. (light up until the day hcforc Christmas people are tvalking down the street smiling and talking to absolute strangers in their excitement over the festive season. But from Christmas Day onward the streets are quiet and al) the shoppers are finished and are home enjoying the day with their families. When you take a drive out to sec someone the roads are empty except for a few people out on the same errandsas yourself. The peace and serenity is beautiful. There are no school busses out, no transports, no tractors. This year was by far the best for travelling to visit friends and relatives. 1 am writing this after a brisk walk down the main street of Blyth on a Tuesday after Christmas. The streets are still quiet only two days after Christmas. It is as though every one is taking a much needed rest alter the pace the season seems to demand. Christmas is a time for famili''s and alter a family reunion where the people are only seen and chatted to once a year it is antaiing hots many of us can change in a tear. Cousins tvho have lost 70 pounds and had their hair styled are made to model for all the aunts and uncles with their nett toun(1 beauty in themselves. Wee children. who were once just hates in arms and unidentifiable from their cousins who were also being carried, are now toddlers with personalities all their own and ; re not to he confused with others of their sante age group. The food is another highli ght at Christmas time. Goodies that are not made at any time of the year are made with delight and savoured by all. Full tummies and lazy attitudes attest to that. We now have the new year to look to with its customary toasting and partying. Now conies the time to review the year and make amends for all the bad things we have clone and what we have not done. Above all things it is a time to vow to do better and rejoice in the good things that have happened in the past year. Be positive this year and enjoy the season. At the same time, however, remember saying for party goers "drink and don't drive or drive but don't drink". Happy New Year to everyone.

Professor Hutchison is referring to a home study program on Farm Income Tax, sponsored by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food., "Daily and year-end decisions are more critical than tiling the return in April," says Professor Hutcison. "And while the busy farmer hires an accountant to file his return, he can't afford to hire a tax specialist to stand at his elbow during the • day-to-day operation when tax dollar•, are won and lost." The farm tax course does cover the tiling of returns and the minimum record sy .tents required. But the main emphasis is on the tax regulations a':(1 how they affect daily decision-making on the farm. Costs and the prices received I'or milk, eggs, or beef have been a part of making decisions on the farm. However, the tax regulations are becoming more and more a part of decision- making and these regulations can mollify or even overrule the normal logical decision on a farm. You should not ignore the tax regulations, sa•"s Professor Hutchison. Knowing something about farm taxation can be rewarding, whether or not you file your own tax return. The farm income tax course, developed by Professor Hutchison, is written in an easily - understood fashion and includes examples. There are assignments using tax forms, and these arc marked and returned with corrections a11(1 comments by a chartered accountant who is a part -tinge farmer.

In seconds a dry festive tree may become a torch in minutes a house may be destroyed Here's advice from the Joint Fire Prevention Publicity Committee of Canada: * Your evergreen Christmas tree and its decorations are potential fire hazards. They head the list of a sensible family's preparation for a happy holiday. * A dry tree readily sheds needles. Indoors, keep the tree standing in water. Replenish the water daily. ' * Disconnect the lights t%'hen leaving home or going to bed.Candles, of course, constitute added hazards. * Keep matches out of the reach of little hands. * Clear wrappings away from the base of the tree. * Set the tree away from the fireplace. Do not block access to exits. * have plenty of larage ash trays for the guests who smoke. * Never leave small children alone or unattended in the home. * Cookstove fires from oils or grease are an emergency. Smother the flames ...a rug...baking soda...never water. If this doesn't do the job, get everybody out and call the Fire Department. BOWES ELECTRONIC SHOP Blyth SPARLING PORPANE Blyth
