Its name is Blyth and the coincidence does not stop there. This discovery came to light when Australian Erwin Windel came to Canada for a holiday, When he heard of Blyth, he decided' to come and see it for himself. Mr. Windel is from Clare, located just outside Blyth, Australia. Blyth, 'Australia is smaller than its Canadian counterpart, having just 350 citizens compared to the 800 in' Blyth, Ontario. Yet Blyth, Australia has its own hospital, and another )lus, some 20 be considered satisfactory perfor- mance. Those conditions are: that a proposal submitted by Brian Garratt of Kyles, Kyles and Garratt Architects, be implemented (this proposal was not outlined in detail): that an electrical interlock lir connected to the sewage pump so that when the 1\'ate1' table level reached the three-foot mark below the tiles, the ptinll) is automatically shut off until the water level recedes: and that a responsible person he appointed to visually inspect the height of the water table and record in a daily log the findings as to height or water table, date and time of inspection. I'he agreement also states that if any or all of these conditions arc not completely timet, o1' a recurrence of the sewage ponding problem develops, the original order by the former MOH Dr, Frank Mills will be reinstated immediately. 1)r.

Another coincidence is that 20 miles away is Atibuin where grapes are grown. (Blyth being too dry, prospers in wheat farming), Mr. Windel was only able to pass throueh the village before NEW YEARS BABY- The first baby to be born at Seaforth Community Hospital in 1978 Is the daughter of Darrell and Hilda Dale of R.R.2, Blyth.

His application car's :among those submitted last fall for the position when Mr. Richardson was selected. Mr. Richardson told the Standard that he felt he had not been given sufficient reason for the action the Board took.

LEARNING TO PAINT — Art teacher Holly Manske of Brucefield looks on while Pat Watson of Brussels tries her hand at painting during a session at the Huron Centre for the Home Bound. (Photo by Townshend) more out of it than what I give," Twenty-six homebound persons have t aken part in the Day Care Centre thus far, They come from as far away as Brussels, Walton and Ethel. Some visit one day a week; others two days a week, and a few three clays a week. They were referred to Ann St. Jean by agencies, doctors, families and friends, and she visited each applicant to ensure his or her eligibility before accepting them, Each participant pays $2 a day, which includes transportation, a hot meal and the use of Huronview facilities, such as the exercise room and craft room, the auditorium, hairdres- sing personnel and general health care, The centre has its own kitchen, sitting room, den, office and bedroom for anyone requiring a rest during the day. It is open three days a week, but the staff hopes to expand to five days a week in the spring,An average of eight people attend each day, and one volunteer is needed for two participants. "People come first," says assistant co-ordinator Rosemary Armstrong. "If someone needs something, the paper work can wait." Activities include shuffleboard, cards, crafts, exercises and discussion groups. On Tuesday afternoon, Holly Manske, an art instructor from Brucefield, conduct 's a ''painting for fun" class, and on Thursdsay, John Talbot, a Seaforth volunteer, teaches woodworking. Huronview residents and Day Care partici- pants are welcome to take part in each others' programs, For example, many Day Care people enjoy the Old Time music provided by Huronview on Monday, while several Huronview residents join the "painting for fun" class on Tuesday, The purpose of the centre is to give people more meaning to their lives, It helps senior citizens to stay in their own homes longer by giving them something to do and a chance to be with other people. Thus it combats loneliness and boredom which can lead to illness. Similarly, it helps stroke patients, who previously lived very active lives, to adjust and encourages them to get back into the community. The centre has already reached many people, but Ann St. Jean knows there are many more to he contacted, She has used the local media to slake_ people aware of the centre, and she is willing to speak to any organization wanting to know more about it, Rosemary Armstrong credits Ann's enthusiasm as one of the reasons for the success of the Day Care Centre, but Ann is quick to point out that the centre could not serve the homebound in Huron County without the dedication of all the staff and volunteers, Huron gets new family agency The new Family Care AGency of Huron County, operating on a Canada Works grant of $33,540 came into effect January 2. 1978. Offices are located in Winghant in co-operation with the Ministry of Social Scry ices. John McKinnon, director of social services for Huron County, told county council 'Thursday in Godcrich that between 40 and 70 certified homemakers and others are signed up with the agency to provide service on a few basis to private individuals and agencies in Huron. Mr. McKinnon explained that Plonk Care with offices in Seaforth will he a major user of the new agency. When home- makers are required by the Home Care co-ordinator, Mrs. Betty Camino, she will call the Family Care AGency in \Vinghanl where it is expected homemakers, household cleaners and companions will be available immediafcly for service anywhere in the county. Home ('are is a provincially fundal service paid for through Ontario Hospital Insurance (0111P). This occurs when a patient under the doctor's care in hospital leaves hospital early and goes home under continued medical surveillance there, Always, Home Care includes the services of a visiting nurse or a physiotherapist or both, and occasionally a homemaker and companions, It was clearly pointed out at Thursday's council meeting that to qualify for Houle Care which is funded 100 per cent by OHIP, one must be untie'. a doctor's care, be in hospital and require continued medical assistance at home after leaving hospital early. 'l'hc Family Care Agency will also provide homemakers for the Social Services Conintittee should one be required, and for private individuals, When homemakers arC required by the social services committee for persons in need, the cost is subsidized up to 80 per cent by the Ministry of Social Services. Individuals, Mr. McKinnon pointed out, will pay for the scrvicc from their own pockets. Rates for the homemakers hou,schold cleaners a net 'companions were approved by county council and are on a par with Red Cross rates for such services 111 the larges' centres, The hourly rate is $4.20 in town and $4.60 out of town, 'l'hc out of town Pate 15 in effect anytime a hontcn►kerhas to travel more than live miles from her home to fret 10 her work. Mr, McKinnon pointed out the homemakers are not paid mileage and the extra 40 cents per hour is in lieu of mileage. 'l'he daily rate is $33.60 in town, $36.80 out of town for an eight-hour day. The live in rate is $50.40 in town and out of town per day. HOME SUPPORT The Honk Support Program has not been all that successful to date in Huron County, but according to J. R. Husking, chairman of the social services committee, is it working well in other areas and it is possible the Ministry will approve funding beyond March of 1978. "The program, which provides home support services to elderly and handicapped adults and includes heavy or seasonal Huronview Enjoys duefs The residents appreciated two duet numbers by Cecil Skinner and Nelson Lear and Luella Cox and Elsie Henderson at the Sunday morning Chapel service The ladies of the Clinton Christian Reformed Church congregation visited the residents in their rooms on Tuesday afternoon and presented them with a lovely Christian calendar, On Family Night the Clinton Christian Reformed Church Choir, led by Dick Roorda, entertained with a program of Christmas music. Mrs.Van Dyke sang two solos and the Choir sang four numbers. Mrs. Diane Bruins= accompanied the choir and soloist andiMrs. Elsie Henderson accompanied for a sing -a -long of Christmas carols. Mrs. Valkenburg, a member of the Church, expressed the appreciation of the residents. Mr. Ed. Stiles of Goderich played an hour of organ music in the Chapel on Thursday afternoon. cleaning, gardening, repairs or alterations to the home, transpor- tation etc., is based on a flee for service arrangement and is provided to all persons regardless of income," the chairman said. "As a result, some receive the service free while others pay on a sliding scale based on income," Mr. Hunkiilg added, saying the charges range from a few cents to the actual cost of the service. The colilltlittee feels that a co-ordinator should be employed to develop and establish guide- lines for the program in. Huron. This person would be hired on a 50-50 basis with the province for a short terns contract. Mr. McKinnon has been given authority to investigate the possibility of hiring a home support program co` -ordinator oil a contract basis. He/ will report back to committee �•in the new year.

It requires a certain amount of motivation in order to keep fit and not gain a winter bulge. With this reasoning several schools have launched a program of free morning exercises to be done in time to Sesame Street type music. The exercises appear to be effective and are far from boring when danced with the accompanying music and words. Once a day the students are led through the routine by a teacher. The enthusiasm generated can be appreciated when recess comes and the students spend their own time going over the movements. The 45 RPM size record and illustrated movements is now being offered through the schools allowing parents to take part in this studied effort to keep fit. Because of the government's recent attack against poor health and insistence on the need to exercise we are perhaps bored with. fitness. Too often money is spent on a program such as this or fancy equipment which proposes to make you slim and attractive without altering your fattening diet. Although the program initiated by the schools is excellent, and teaches youngsters to enjoy good physical health, something will have to be done to make parents join in. Getting the youngsters involved first is the best step but it takes co-operastion on the adults part to make it work. This winter let's beat the fats and keep active. Even a brisk walk a day is a start. Let the little kids lead us. We can change our world By Keith Roulston Part of life in the 1970's seems to be a feeling of hopelessness. "You can't fight city hall" has become a phrase that is parat of our everyday language. Such an attitude, that the individual has little power to change things, seems strange in our democratic society. One could understand it in the totalitarian society of many countries where the importance of the individual is minor compared to the importance of the state, But our whole society in the West is built on the rights of the individual, his important part in society as a whole. But the rights of the individual in Canada these days seems to be limited to filling his pockets while doing as little work as possible. The individual should, in theory anyway, be working with other individuals to make the country a better place, li1stead it seems it's every man for himself. We have all kinds of excuses of course. There are many restrictions these days on what an individual person can do to better things. Governments,. business, labour unions, institutions of every descriptions are also so huge these days that the influence of a single human being seems about the same as throwing a pebble in the ocean, Yet most of us give up without even making an effort. We'd rpther sit aroundandfeel sorry for ourselves than get out and try to change the world. We living in small towns have a very special opportunity to change our "world". 'We may To the editor Religion, politics do mix One of the catch-all 'saws' currently practiced in the'land cuts somewhat like this: religion and politics do not mix. This 'wise saying' has its adherents. Y ou'll notice them by the crippled lives they lead.' There is a long and rich Christian tradition claiming that one of the finestvocations is a political career, which mixes religion and politics in abundance. Maybe you are beginning to mutter a little already: "Clergyman, clergyman, keep to your business of saving souls, or whatOver you are supposed to be doing, Politics is a dirty business, and mixing Christianity and politics produces only hard words and hurt feelings, Agreed. There is some truth in your muttering, But still, I stay with the conviction that politics and Christianity mix quite well, a conviction I base on very solid evidence, That evidence is, of course, the Bible. Thus says the Lord: "For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God," Politicians, be they of the stripe of Idi Amin, or of the Kremlin, or of the honoured Canadian Parliament, have a special place. In this country, political leaders from the prime -minister to village councillor carry God's authority. Christianity is so eminently practical, and God has much to say about political leadership, especially aNut the responsibility thev carry, Where Christianity is forced by disbelief to simmer within church walls, or in the heart or soul, as some ridiculously claim, life is correspondingly dull, What I am driving at is that the village and township reeves and the councillors, when they meet to decide a ction in their respective municipalities, are carrying on God's business for the duration of their elected offices, Leave God out of politics? Not on your life! He is Lord of heaven and earth, and He guides countries and municipalities through the practical work of politicians and politics. You may not be waiting for Council minutes with bated breath, but nevertheless their decisions carry God's authority. Polioticians are God's servants for your good; they are 'ministers of God.' And their ministry means the instituting of justice; their 'doing justice' for all residents in their municipality indicates they are taking seriously their ministry. This doing justice is the crux of course, and comes only by believing in Christ and knowing substantially the Bible. These two cannot be separated eithet. On the basis of Romans 13.1-7 it is established that reeve and councillors carry on God's business in the doing of justice. But this is a beginning. Ted Hoogsteen not be able to solve the problems of the Middle East, or bring about government reform in Rhodesia, but we can make our own town a better place to live. The individual in the city may have a reason to feel that he is powerless to get things done, but the person who feels that way in small towns is simply looking for an excuse to sit on his butt and do nothing. In a small town any individual who really wants to make the effort, can do a good deal to change things for the better. The task may look impossible at first, theodds may seem too high, but if the person jumps in and gets involved instead of sitting back and thinking of all the ob stacles, he'll be surprised at how a good idea, fueled by enthusiasm, can catch on. Hogwash, you say. I couldn't do something like that, I'm just an ordinary little guy. I'm not rich. I don't have a lot of influence. I don't have the ear of the powerful in my town. But look around you. In every town you'll see examples of people who have accomplished things who weren't rich or powerful or didn 't have friends who were. Those things matter a good deal in the city but in small towns they are not so important. Oh I'm not saying that a guy without a penny to his name can succeed in putting over some grandoise scheme to, say, build an indoor swimming pool for the community, although even that is not impossible. I'ni saying that there are thousands of little things that can improve a community that the individual can be responsible for getting started. The problem is that in recent years we've fallen into the trap of expecting the government to do everything. If somebody gets an idea for something, perhaps a day care centre for. children, their first idea is to go to the government to get the money. If the local council turns them down because they don't • want to'raise taxes, the idea often dies and a bitter group of people go hone feeling they can't fight city hall. Yet that's not the way the people who built this part of the country did things. Their first reaction to any problems wasn't to go to the government, but to get together and work toward a solution. If a person had an idea for some project, he'd talk to his friends ab .out it and find all the interested people he could, call a meeting and try to get a movement started to achieve the goal, That is what led t - so many of the things we now take for granted; our schools, our hospitals, our arenas, many of our industries, our town halls, etc. etc. These things were usually begun not by government action but by people action, It was usually the idea of one person who worked hard to have that idea accepted. The individual can still play such a role today in our small towns, but we have to stop sitting back looking for excuses why we can't get things done, We've got to stop looking to government, be it the municipal , provi•,cial or federal, to solve all our problems because we should have learned by now that they that giveth can also taketh away as we've seen so graphically in things such as the hospital disputes. We need to stand on our own two fee,t and work among ourselves to solve our own problems. We've got the power to do that and we'd all be much better off if we used it. CoupTe opens general store By Debbie Ranney The tiny hamlet -of Belgrave has acquired a new business, Jack and Mary Taylor of Wroxeter have just purchased a grocery store there and will be providing another grocery outlet for Belgrave shoppers. Bclgrave already has one grocery store. Being in Belgrave is not a new experience for the Taylors since. they lived just outside of Belgrave on the sixth concession of East Wawanosh until last October and before they were married, Mary Taylor lived in west Wawanosh and l\`ll'. Taylor lied in the East Wawanosh. The Taylors lived on a dairy farm until their oldest son took over and they moved to Wroxeter last October. The Taylors now live on a farm 111 Wroxeter and rent 72 acres. Mr. Taylor had been working in Brussels for Millbank industries where they made brake conduits and cables for Ford and Chrysler cat's. But Mr. Taylor didn't like the night work which kept him busy from 3:30 in the afternoon until 2 a.m. When he heard that Campbell Construction from Blyth was constructing a building in Belgrave, he asked Mr. Campbell if he was going to rent the building or sell it, and Mr. Campbell told him that when he had made up his mind he would let hint know. When he finished the building. Mr. Campbell decided he would sell it and the "Taylors took possession on the first of December. At the: moment, the couple drive back and forth from Wroxeter and plan to do so until sometime in the spring when they hope to sell their house and move to Belgrave. The store will be open six days a week from 8:30 to 6 and from 8:30 to 8 on Friday nights and closed Wednesday afternoons. When the store opened 'just before Christmas about 250 people came in to do business and Books at library )(BRIGHT CANDLES By Nathaniel Benchley On April 9, 1940, the Germans occupied Denmark.

THE MYSTERY OF THE RED TIDE By Frank Bonham The first time Tommy went to Smuggler's Cove he noticed a strange streak of rusty water about a mile offshore. Tommy and Jill were helping their Uncle Mike search the tide pools for little sea creatures that he needed in his research work. Mysterious things began to happen and the children thought someone was trying to cause trouble for Uncle Mike. They began to look for answers to all the puzzling happenings and it was the red tide that pointed to the solution. extelltlea nest \.ISI►es. The Taylors have six children, two of whorl are still living at horse. Their son, Mark is 18 years old and is working at his father's old job. Their daughter Trudy is 16 and is still in high school. Three other children are married and another son is a veterinarian in Newfoundland. While the Taylors have had no previous experience in store- keeping. Mrs. Taylor had worked a bit at the Amos Smith's General Store which burned down last winter and which was located just in front of the site where the Taylor's have their store now. She worked only when extra help was needed. Mrs. Taylor said. According to Mrs. Taylor, they made the building into a grocery store because, "1 guess every- body has to eat—maybe that \vs the idea."
