I WONDER IF THE VIEW IS ANY BETTER UP
HERE? 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)

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.

more than the President of the United States
and in a way 1 agree.
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.

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

Feature: folk - Ross Robinson
Makes toys for
granchildren
By Debbie Ramey
Ross Robinson of Auburn is one
person who has put his hobby to
good use. tie makes things out of
wood and so he built Christmas
presents for his grandchildren.
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.

New solar energy studies announced
The Ontario Government is
funding three studies to
investigate new applications of
solar energy in the Province,
Energy Minister James Taylor
announced recently.
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.

Tips on how to travel
The Canada Safety Council has
some advice for people travelling
to visit friends or relatives over
the holidays, or at any other time
during the winter.
Out •of -town trips, particularly
on roads that are not well
travelled, need not only special
driving attention, but, the Council
saes "Drivers should let people
know what time they are leaving,
and
are
when they expect to arrive,
especially. the route they
taking. "
Phil I 'armor.
I)irectur of the Council says
F xecutiyc
"In
that way, if trouble is encoun-
tered, at least there is someone
who can notify police or come and
look for You...
If a cat' does get stuck 011 a
little -travelled road --such as in a
blizzard, there ale some things
one can do Io survive: Stay in the
car. (unless habitation is visible
nearby); check tailpipe to ensure
it is non blocked by snow or ice;
fast idle the engine up to ten
minutes per hour to conserve
gasoline: keep a window open a
fraction: use a candle for warmth.
We want to thank all our good friends and
customers for their kindness and patronage
in the past 8 years and want to welcome Jim
and Dorothy Schneider who will be your new
hardware dealer in the new year .

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

despair. Christianity is under.

beginning and end.
New Year's Day has roots in
culture far beyond our Christian
stance. 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. Are you

From me to you
By Rhea Hamilton
The Christmas rush is over
note tet nn heal is still reeling
from all the last minute
preparations.
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.
Timekeeper:
Your heart works harder
when you're not in the game.
Get fit—and turn the
clock back.
Fitness is fun.

Don't wait 'til spring • do it
now. "That's the advice of
University of Guelph professor,
Gary Hutchison.
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

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.
