The initial budget for 5162,200 called for a new senior planning technician which was deleted from the revises budget. Huron's share of the budget is $135,150, Community Study grants were reduced, council learned, as a result of certain projects being deferred, In all, 25 projects, nine of them already in progress, will have to be delayed due to the lack of funds and the budget cuts, Included are projects in Wingham, Bayfield, Colborne, 1-lowick, Goderich, Seaforth, Blyth, Brussels, Hensall, Mullett, Stephen, East Wawanosh and Clinton. Chairman of the planning board, Bill Clifford, Goderich, (Continued on Page 16) Blyth trustee will chair Huron BofE R.J. Elliot, the Blyth school Board Trustee, was elected chairman of the Huron County Board of Education Tuesday afternoon at the board's inaugural meeting for 1978. Elliott, serving in his fourth year as truestee was elected over Marion Zinn, vice chairman of the board in 1977. Mr. Elliott, who was trustee for the village of Blyth and the townships of East Wawanosh and Morris appealed to board numbers in his inaugural address stressing a need for trustees to support one another and cooperate during to.3. He said the year would be a difficult one for the board and would require each member to devote all their efforts to their job. The chairman said the trustees faced a very difficult financial situation brought_ on by a reduction by provincial government grants for education and declining enrollments. He said the board does not know yet what the province will be givinu school boards for operating costs but pointed out that the grants are based on enrollments and fewer students would mean less money no matter what the grants were, "Education costs are going up and one source of income is going down and municipalities in the county will have to increase taxes to pay the difference" he said. "Our problem is to keep that increase t0 a Minimum". He said the trustees will receive many suggestions on how to trim costs in education but that they would have to remember that their duty is to provide a sound education system for children in Huron. He said that the board members would have to Nveigh all those recommendations and make a decision with teachers, students, parents and ratepayers in mind, He said that one of the ways the board could achieve success is through open channels for communications, something he was giving top priority in 1978. He said that the board would have to develop ways -to ensure that everyone effected by a board decision has an opportunity to have some input into that decision before it is made. He added that the board should make an attempt to explain it's decision and the reason for them to aid in that communication, He said that he planned to visit schools and attend all public events he could, to let the public know what it's school board is doing and to attempt to improve the board's image. NEW B OF E CHAIRMAN — R. J. Elliott of Blyth, left, was elected 'chairman of the Huron County Board of Education for 1978 at a recent meeting of the board. Alex Corrigan was elected vice-chairman. (News -Record Photo) Blowing snow cuts visibility OPP report few accidents While visibility was down to zero in the Blyth arca through most of Monday and on tucsday few serious accidents were reported according to Wingham Detachment of the 0.P.P. The fact that motorists found it impossible to see more than a few feet brought ,traffic almost to a standstill, While four officers equipppcd tvith snowmobiles were on call Tuesday at Wingham few calls were received, Road crews were reported to have been pulled off the roads early Tuesday morning due to poor visibility. 'In a multi car pile-up on No. 4 Highway north of Blyth Monday morning an officer of the Godcrich town police force and the prisoner he was escorting to trial in Goderich, suffered whip lash. Constable Gerald Hilgendorff of the Goderich town police department suffered severe whip- lash' when his cruiser was involved in the traffic mishap, involved itt the crash were four vehicles but due to weather conditions the investigation is being carried out by phone and few details were available at press time. Since the closing of the Huron County jail at Godcrich all prisoners are housed at Bruce County jail at Walkerton and must be driven to the courts in Huron for trial. Chief Pat King of the Goderich Police said this was the reason the Goderich cruiser was out of its area. On Monday officer Hilgendorff was transporting a prisoner to Godcrich when he came uponla collision involving two cars and stopped to investigate. Just as he returned to his vehicle a car that was stopped behind the cruiser was struck from behind by a third car and this set off a chain reaction of collisions. The only injuries reported were those to the officer involved and to his prisoner who both suffered from whiplash. 2 —THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 4, 1978 School costs climb despite attendancedrop The Huron County Board of Education faces a tough year in 1978, both politically and administratively, according to 1977 Board chairman Herb Turkheinl;: Mr. Turkeim told the board in his final address as chairman before turning the gavel over to 1978 chairman John Elliott that restricted funding by the' provincial government and declining enrollment would force the Board to take a long hard look at education costs in Huron. County in the coming years. Mr. Turkheii»! said a reduction in grants from the province 1Nould' cause financial hardship for the board and that declining enrollment would add to the problem. He pointed out that the province is threatening to cut 1 back grants and although no 1 official figures have been given, it appears the cut will be from 4.6 percent. He added that costs have ' risen by that much at least in the past year and that grants are based on a student per capita basis. Declining enrollment would mean Huron is eliigible for fewer grants than last year even without cuts in provincial spending. "Wel as a Board are going to have to take a close look at education costs and use a great deal of forsight when we slake financial decisions" he warned the trustees. Mr. Turkheinl said that education cost in Huron have risen dramatically in the past five years and that the Board has asked Huron municipalities to carry those costs, He said that the Boards requisition to municipalities has riser, 100 percent since 1973 adding that the Board is still not in.gr;rat financial shape. The past chairman said that the trustees would have to be economic in their future decisions but would also have to remain politicians. He said that declining enrollment may make it appear that closing schools will save the board the money it needs; but suggested that closing would not be the answer. i -le added that the board owes every ratepayer in the county the right to an education system for their children. He sighted the Vanastra Public School as an example of the political responsibilities the Board has. He said that opening the school in Vanastra last year was a "foolish move but a political one". He said that trustees really "had no choice" but to open the school because of the reaction from taxpayers in Vanastra at. the time the decision was made, He said that Clinton Public School could not handle students from Vanastra and the Board was considering busing students to other schools as an alternative, In a public sleeting the trustees met with "500 ratepayers ready to throw bricks at them if they made the wrong decision" he claims. Mr, 'l'urkheim said that if the Board started looking at schools in the County with the idea to close some, one of the first, to be considered would be Hensall Public School, a school in his constituency. He added tliat Hensall would only be closed over his dead body "I would only hope that trustees put themselves in the position of the Board member in whose area a school is being closed", he said; "A trustee from Wingham should slake his decision considering how he would feel if the schoolwere in his locality". Mr. Turkheim said if the board was 10 solve its problems it would have 10 COM:0111rate 011 communications and would have to work as a unit. He said that in the past a few trustees have carried the work Toad for others and that that situation would have to change. He didn't feel communications was the problem it was cracked up to be but did conceive that the Board would have to work together to improve lines of coninlunication with teachers, parents, ratepayers and municipal politicians. The past chairman told the board that a one year terns as Board chairman should be considered pointing out that a second year in the chair is very trying.

The payment, which represents between 80 and 100 per cent of the entire amount t0 be paid, was made in December 1977. Producers with more than Live cows may expect to receive two further, smaller payments. Onc will complete the provincial portion of the program an the other will corse from Ottawa as the federal government's share. For producers with five cows or fewer, the December cheque represents their full payment as for every cow in the herd, less $10 based on a weighted average price for calves of $39.29 per hundredweight. The interim December payment. was calculated on the basis of $46.70 for any cow eligible for the federal program, The $10 will be made up in the two cheques to be mailed after the federal government announces its support price 1 LET US MAKE YOUR OLD FURNITURE.

A joint Ministry of 'Transportation and Conmiunications and Ministry of Health Study examined health care costs for motorists injured in highway mishaps in 16 Ontario hospitals during the first three months of 1975 compared to the sante period in 1976. "Our study revealed that active treatment costs for injured motorists :ere down $1 - million over the three-month study period," Transportation and Conlinunications Minister Jaynes Snow said. "What's even more important though is that the number of people hospitalized as a result of traffic accidents was down more than 22 per cent. Altogether, 2,343 fewer accident victims were admitted to the hospitals used in our study. 'Mere's just no question that scat belts and lower speed limits are helping to reduce Ontario's tremendous health costs, as well 1 as the death and injury rate on provincial streets and highways." The report also showed a substantial reduction in i expensive in-patient hospital care. These h ospital services, which account for the largest expenditure, were down from $2.6 million in 1975 to $1.8 million Iin 1976. ' Medical fees, the second i largest • expenditure, accounted • for $371,000 during the three- month study period in 1976, compared to $526,000 the previous year. An overall reduction in the severity of injuries was also reported. Serious injuries were down almost 36 per cent; minor injuries decli ned by 11 per cent, "I ani convinced," Mr.Snow concluded, "that we can reduce these injures and their related health costs even further if more drivers and passengers buckled up every time they get into a motor vehicle," STOP THINK Bea RED CROSS Blood Donor CHURCH OF GOD McConnell St., Blyth Pastor Cecile Marquette Service 11 A.M.

Registration Number 1319 Is there a need in Huron Perhaps its a reflection of the affluent society which so many claim to enjoy but in any case there are increasing indications of women and children who are subjected to abuse in the home. In some areas the community has not only recognized the problem but has done something about it. In the Kitchener Waterloo area for example there is a new program called Women in Transition. This group provides help by supplying a hostel where women and children who are in danger due to abuse or as the result of a crisis in the home can go for help. In Huron on the other hand there is no such service available. True there perhaps are n of as many cases and those who are in need may contact the Children's Aid Society. The children may be taken under the wing of the c.A.S. and the department of Social Services authorizes an expenditure for emergency accommodation for the parent for a weekend at a local hotel. While this provides a temporary solution surely there are enough concerned people in Huron who would assist in providing help in the way of shelter and where there would be someone to talk to about new and pressing decisions. A suggestion that a shelter be established in the county which was raised with County council last spring was given assurance that it would be discussed. The point here is: Do we need such a service in our community?There have been on the average 3 cases per year. But if some sort of alternative was available for women and children who find themselves in abusive situations how many more would take advantage of such relief? A hostel service would offer men and women time to work through their problems and resolve the family's difficulties. For others it could be the beginning of a new life as a single parent. To the editor: Revenge? . So Blyth muncipal council has joined the vocal minority and endorsed the request by the vengeful mob, to reinstate the dead penalty in Canada, I seriously question the right of ,a municipal council to speak for the citizens on a matter of conscience. On the one hand we have a "Right to Life" group, fighting a hopeless fight against abortion, and on the other hand a group With • blood in their eyes, advocating the taking of life, I shouldn't wonder if there weren't many who subscribe to both philosophies. The warning of the Lord that to hint belongs revenge, or the admonition of Christ that one should love one's enemy, doesn't seem to carry much weight anymore. If such a move as the dead penalty would be a deterrent, it would be understandable, but in those countries, including Canada, that j have done away` with , the barbaric punishment, the experience has been that the murder rate has not been affected at all, and in some cases even dropped. (The fear of being hanged can ca.s�e a second murder in order to conceal the first ). I don't want to bring up all kinds of arguments, for they all boil down to one, not so simple question: Do you want revenge or do you want prevention. ) Adrian Vos. By Keith Roulston Snowy ivy Small towns need investment The expected business blow-up in Quebec finally happened last week when the huge Sun Life Insurance Company announced it would ask its shareholders to approve a move of the company's head office from Montreal to Toronto. The company claims it just can't do business under the new language legislation which says all business must be conducted in French, The Quebec government, on the other hand, charges that Sun Life has been one of the worst exploiters of Quebec over the years and has taken more than 5400,000,000 out of the province by investing money earned. there through insurance premiums in other provinces instead of reinvesting it in'Quebec. It's a complicated argument and one that may seem far away for Huron County residents but it touches much closer to home than most would suspect. The ramifications of the whole battle shaping up may touch us only indirectly in that it can have an effect on the whole Quebec separation issue but there are similarities between the plight of Quebec and problems in .our own area. The Quebec government's argument that the insurance company is not treating Quebec well can apply equally well to just about any small town in Canada, Insurance companies, trust companies and even banks have for years been accommodating the drain of small-town Canada resources to the big cities. How many dollars do such companies take out of your town in a year? A quick look may not make it look like much but multiply the number of dollars your family pays in insurance premiums of various kinds by the number of families in your community and suddenly the amount becomes significant. (Canadians, after, all, are the most insured nation in the world). Add to that the amount of money that is invested with trust companies and other financial institutions and the amount of money invested by small town people can be very impressive. But how much of that money is coming back into your community? Myo• guess is that it would be a small fraction of the money that these companies have to invest. In many, small towns, particularly those without sewage facilities, it is nearly impossible to get a mortgage from one of the regular mortgage lending companies. They simply, can't be bothered with small towns. It's so much easier to lend mortgages to larger centres and better still to lend to "safe projects like city apartment and office complexes put up by huge companies led by Hien who travel in the sante circles as the Hien who led the mortgage companies. So the accumulated savings of small towns from all across Canada has helped build the CN Tower in Toronto, helped fuel the battle of the banks to see who could build the highest office building in downtown Toronto and even helped build large Montreal complexes like Place Ville Marie. If the province of Quebec as a whole has been cheated by Sun Life, how much more have the small town. people there been cheated since even the money that has been reinvested in the province has gone to large centres like Montreal and Quebec City, The maddening thing of all this for small town people is to see this kind of thing happen, then hear city people speak as if they are supporting us through government grants, etc. If small towns. in Canada. ire ever to regain their once strong position in the country, they are going to have to find a way to reverse the current capital drain. A way must be found to reinvest the savings of the community back into the coninmunity, Think of how much good a million dollars invested in your community could do this year. Most likely that million dollars is there for the investment but is instead being used by financial institutions to help build a new suburb in a large city, or a new factory' somewhere else. We have got to find ways to put our own money to work in our own community if we ever hope to stop the, decline. of our rural way of life. Until we do, we will forever be dependent of the whims of governments for the future of small towns. Some small towns have worked at solving these problems through such things as credit unions and development corporations but most of our towns have gone along doing little and complaining hard and long about how hard used we are. We have the ability to solve our own problems. Until we do, we should stop complaining about being victims of big business and big government. FELLING - When Lloyd Walden began logging, crosscut saws and horses were the order of the day, but today his job is faster and easier thanks to chainsaws and Timberjack which drags the cut trees out of the bush. (Staff Photo) Feature folk Woodcutter carrys on tradition Logging is a job .where you've got to know what you're doing, according; to Lloyd Walden of Blyth and he ought to know. He's been in the business for 25 years. Lloyd has worked \vith timber all of his life, all the lvay back to helping his father • who was always involved with woodwork or logs. 'el grew up with it. i always liked the bush, 1 always liked to go for walks through the bush," Lloyd says.. Lloyd had been farming in the Westfield area on concession 4 of East Wawanosh Township and did the timber work part-time until 1970, when it became a full-time occupation. His son Garth runs the farm now. A great many changes have taken place in both the equipment and the working conditions since Lloyd started some 25 years ago. ''Twenty-five years ago we were skidding logs with horses and the logs were cut with crosscut saws, When we first started just as a laborer working for the other guy, it (the pay) was 50 cents a day. That would be in the 30's when the Depresssion was on," LLoyd says. Then ,about 1952 they switched to two man chain saws and skidded with a tractor for quite a few years. The tractor had an hydraulic lift. For the past five years , Lloyd has been using a timberjack which has a 97 horsepower G,M. Detroit diesel engine. A timberjack is a hydraulic machine with a winch and four cables attached to pull the logs out, The timberjack that Lloyd Walden has four cables but more can be used if desired. With four cables he can bring out four logs or four trees at a time. The bushes that they do their work in are marked by the Ministry of Natural Resources. The Ministry marks the trees, estimate the trees (length) and value the trees, then tell the farmer what his bush is worth, Lloyd says the loggers then , evaluate the bush and mostly the job of cutting down the trees goes to the highest bidder. Lloyd has purchased logs for many companies over the years but for the past couple of years he has been buying for Canada Spool and Bobbin, a furniture factory in Walkerton. The Ministry decides what trees should be cut down by an like Lloyd Walden who make that bad marks they see on a tree. 1f.any job an important part of our bush needs thinning they will heritage and future. mark trees also. Lloyd and his son Brian work together and an odd occasions might add some extra hired help. They try to take the logs out full-length as much as possible. The amount of timber they take out of a bush in a day varies but they average about 5,000 board feet per day. At the time of the interview, they were in a bush with fairly large trees so they were averaging about 6000 board feet of wood per day. The number of feet is the total length and depth of the log. Lloyd says that a lot of the trees they cut average about 200 to 350 board feet and that in most of the bushes if they have 500 board feet they figure they're in good timber, The number of trips a truck makes to pick up a load of logs depends on the distance, When the interview was conducted. Lloyd and his son were working in a bush near Vanastra, and the truck carie down from Walkerton to pick up the loads twice a day. The Walden's current equipment for their trade also consists of four saws, They have that many so ,\that if one breaks down they'll have another on hand. Lloyd says their work is sort of dangerous and that they have been very fortunate. 'iYou have to be careful", he says. Traditional jobs may come and go, but it's almost a sure bet that woodcutting is a job that will be here for a long time, And it's men SUPERIOR MEMORIALS ESTABLISHED OVER 50 YEARS Syr ii/R.

Miller. The 236 -hectare (580 -acre) provincial park is 6 knl. (three miles) north of Goderich on Lake Huron and contains the site of the old Point Farm Hotel, a popular summer resort for city families during the late 1800s. The park, to be fully operational between mid-May and mid-September, will become an intensive recreation arca centred around camping and day -use activities. Partial facilities will be available during the off-season. The park has 200 campsites as well as day -use facilities but a hardwood -covered bluff which drops sharply to a narrow sand and pebble beach and a natural landscape 'of steep -sided ravines will be preserved as an environ- mentally fragile area. In keeping with the park's rural setting, a renovated barn will be turned into a visitor centre for interpretive and recreational activities, Controlled silownlobiling and hunting will be permitted within the park. A number of proposed improvements detailed in the master plan originated from suggestions made by interested individuals and groups at previously held public meetings. "We realize that recreational needs and visitor patterns have changed over the years," Mr. Miller said. "The plan evaluates the park's existing facilities while recognizing the environmentally sensitive areas needing protection.

"We want to help consumers distinguish between worthwhile charities and'ph ony schemes so they can be sure their donations don't go to support unethical fundraisers," said consumer minister Larry Grossman. "Most charitable organizations do a tremendous amount of good and would suffer greatly if people withheld their dollars," he said. But there are exceptions. The ministry recently issued a cease-and-desist order against an , Ottawa company which was representing itself as a non-profit organization in order to sell tickets to Christmas dinners for senior citizens. Community groups are often asked to lend their names to , circuses and parties run by promoters. In exchange they receive a small portion of the profits which they give to worthy causes. The promoters, who control the finances and ticket sales, keep up to 90 per cent of the money raised. Tickets to these events are often oversold becauselorganizers know that most well-meaning• consumers purchase then to help the underprivileged, not because they are interested in go ing to the circus. At one circus, 21,000 tickets were sold for the 3,800 scats available. "We have forced these ; companies out of business in the past and we won't hesitate to do so again," said Mr,. Grossman.'. "but a cautious public is the be .st defence against phony charity schemes," he added, Consumers are advised in the Under The Business Practices Act, companies which make "false, misleading or deceptive" representations may be fined up to $25,000 and directors may be fined up to $2,000 each and/oi ' imprisoned up to one year, bulletin to give primarily to charities with which they are familiar and to check with the Better Business Bureau and Chamber of Commerce if they arc NOTICE Please remove vehicles from sireets on nights of snow removal.

"BEEF, & PORK FOR ;iOO E, FREEZERS. 14 -THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 11, 1978 Take a look at your eating habits By Bea McClenaghan - Huron County Home Economist Today, many Canadians, young and old alike, are overweight and undernourished. This can be attributed to our sedentary lifestyle, ignorance of nutrition and failure to eat enough of the foods which provide the nutrients we need, As Canadians, we need to take a serious look at our nutritional eating habits. Do you ever wonder why ; the average four -person Canadian family spends $1,000 a year more on food than is required for nutritious and delicious eating? - most Canadian adults are a cross between a cream puff and a jelly roll? - Canadians spend about 38 per cent of their food dollar on meat and alternates • about 14 per cent more than is needed to meet protein requirements? As shocking as these statements are, help is on the way to eliminate these problems for our youth. During Nutrition Weck (January 23 - 28), attention will be focused on teaching prover nutritional information in our Huron County schools. All schools in Huron County will be supplied with a "Nutrition Happenings Handbook of Ideas and Resources" prepared by the Ontario Ministry of Health Teachers may use this to increase the nutritional awareness it classes from the kindergarten to the grade thirteen level. Every adult working with children has a responsibility to help prevent thej present school-age population from growing up with the same misinformation, confusion and ignorance of nutritional health that characterizes their elders, Special programs scheduled for Nutrition Week include planned activities for all family members from the preschooler to dad. Get value for your beef dollar Buying meat is probably the major consideration when you do the family grocery shopping, since it can to a large extent determine the week's meal plan. When you decide to buy beef, the food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agri- culture and Food, suggest that you consider carefully the cost per serving and the way in which you ' plan to use the beef. It is the best way to get full value for your beef dollar. When buying nkat, don't just look at the cost per pound. The amount of bone, fat, and gristle in that pound of nkat will determine the number of servings it will provide, Comparing prices on the basis of cost per serving rather than cost per pound is the smart way to shop for beef. When you buy bone -in roasts or steaks you will get two to three servings per pound. Boneless roasts and steaks will provide three to foto' servings per pound. Boneless stew meat yields three servings per pound, whereas bone -in stew beef yields two servings per pound. You can count on three to four servings when you buy a pound of ground beef, Even though boneless cuts will 1 be priced higher than bone -in cuts, look carefully at the yields and consider the use of the cut. 11' you plan to buy and cook a large roast, cat part, freeze part, and • use the rest and the bones for soup, you will want to buy a bone -in roast. For entertaining, you Wright consider a boneless roast which carves easily with virtually no waste, or boneless I steaks which are easily and conveniently pounded and rolled for special dishes. In comparing prices, generally, if the boneles cut is up to 35 cents per pound higher than the bone -in cut, then the boneless cut will cost less per serving and will give you better value for your money, If the' cost difference is more than 35 cents per pound, then the bone -in cut is likely the better buy. Make this comparison at the time of purchase. It is a wise shopper who compares the prices and cuts of beef to get the most for the 1 shopping dollar. Don't let a high food bill limit your family's nutri- tion. Poor planning, over- buying, limited storage space, convenience foods and wasting leftovers rather than high food prices may be contributing to your higher food bill. Make prop- er nutrition a part of your Lifestyle.

Parents, do you know what program will take place in your child's school during Nutrition Week? Why not check with your child's teacher? Teachers, have you referred to the Handbook in your school for preparing a lesson in your classroom? As a teacher, it is important for you to be aware that the eating patterns of your students affect their learning ability and behaviour. The fidgety, disinterested child could be exhibiting the signs of a "breakfast skipper", Your teaching efforts may be lost on a child too hungry at learn. It may be that t caching of good eating habits could be one of the most valuable contrib utions that you could make in preparing your student for life. The time ot start on Nutrition Education is now, The "Nutrition Happenings Handbook" can assist you in this endeavour. Winter Is Here CaII Us To Clear Your Driveway This Winter.

Mr, Pullen said he was told by otic farmer who failed to harvest 200 acres of white beans and did ;`..�iitit have crop insurance, "well, 4t''s my first crop failure in 16 years." The ag rep added, "Most of our farmers are eternal optimists like myself or they wouldn't be associated with an industry where there are so many risks which include weather and variable market conditions." The very wet fall weather cut Huron's white bean production by more than 50 percent. Despite this Mr, Pullen says, "1 don't think this will have any' appreciable effect on the amount of bean acres to be planted this year. We hope this was a once in a lifetime situation." He continued, "The weather this spring will dictate whether , more corn or beans will be planted to make up for the drastic cut in fall wheat planted last fall." t Talking about the white bean crop Mr, Pullen said, "the weather certainly turned one Nt problem into another. At a crops h day at Centralia early in August o everyone was wondering what would be done with all the beans a from anFlkpected bumper crop. so Germination was the best ever; being used to help soil structures, and the beans came on very even. especially on heavy land.
