Building permits
down last year
by Debbie Ranney
The number of buildings
permits issued in Blyth decreased
from 26 in 1976 to 19 in L977 and
the decrease could be for any of
several reasons according to
village clerk, Larry Walsh.
Mr. Walsh said they don't keep
track of the permits dollar value
because they are based on a set
wage.
"In 1976, it seems they were
doing a lot of renovating to
homes. Last year they just
weren't doing it, " the clerk said.
Building permits were made for
11 new homes in 1976 as
compared with 6 homes in 1977.
Nurses object
Only one building permit was
issued for a commercial buildings
permit in 1977 as compared to
three in 1976.
"There's been no really new
business establishments in a few
years," Mr. 'Walsh said.
One of the new projects is the
OHC senior citizens housing
project which is a 24 unit
apartment building. Some of the
people that are going to be
moving into OHC will have
housing up for sale and Mr.
Walsh thinks that younger people
will want to buy the older homes

To rule change
by Debbie Ranney
Once upon a time, there was a
shortage of nurses in Ontario.
Now there's an overflow and the
colleges keep churning then out.
But that, unfortunately, is not
where the fairytale ends.
Recently, the Ontario College
of Nursing announced a proposal
whereby certificates of
competence would be denied to
RN's and RNA's who had failed to
work at least 50 days, in any one
of the previous five years after.
1980.
The nurses are upset. They
have formed a group called
NURSE (Nurses United for
Registration Security and
Employment) to fight against the
proposal which they feel is unfair
to their profession.
Gayle King of Blyth is one of
those people who are upset. Not
for herself, but for the younger
nurses who have just graduated
and may be looking for jobs,
If unable to find a nu ing job
for awhile, they may have a hard
time meeting the conditions of the
present .proposal of 50 days of

Council sets wages
Clerk Treasurer Larry 'Walsh
will be making $13,150 salary with
three weeks holidays and OHIP
coverage and the town foreman
Bill buchanan will receive $11,000
per year with OHiP and three
weeks holidays. Casual labour
will be paid $4 per hour and part
time office assistant will make
$3.75 per hour.
Council reviewed the property
tax reform report sent'out by the
Ontario government. Blyth
residents would be looking at a
$10 increase per household if and
When Inc reform is utilized.
Most communities in the area
will be enjoying a decrease in
taxes ranging from $83 in Cli Mon
to $109 in Goderich. The reason
for Blyth's increase is the
business community. In areas
where there is heavy industry
.their assessment will increase
and thus take a load off the
residential community, in Blyth
with a limited number of large
businesses, the residential
community must bear the
increase.
The report issued by the
Treasurer of Ontario, Darcy
McKeough, is still under study
and will not be implemented until
1979 taxation year .
Council noted that the Ontario
Housing complex has a new
projected finish date of May 15,
1978. In a letter received from
Ducharme Construction it was
recorded that a new electrical co
sub -contractor had been hired to
complete the job. Miles Electrical
Co. of London has taken over the
contract and hopes to have the
work back on schedule.
Grants were issued to St.

Sugarand Spice
by Bill Smiley '
One of the most pleasant experiences in
the world, for those of us who, if not over
the hill, are at least sitting at the top
contemplating with a mixture of display
and scared exhilaration the slippery slope
we have climbed, and the greasy one we
are about to descends is getting back to
normal after lurching through the "joys"
of the holidays that end the year.
And if one of my students gave me a
sentence like that last one on composition,
I'd problaby tear it to ribbons for lack of
coherence and unity.
But perhaps those very things -coherence
and unity - arc the things so lacking in the
holiday season, and to which we return
with a sigh of relief in the short cold days
and long cold nights of January.
We had a rather bleak Christmas this
year. Our hearts were in the right place,
but my teeth wercn'1.Several of them had
joined that little limbo where your teeth go
when they decide to leave you to your own
devices, otherwise known as gums,
1 put a good face on it,as it were.trying to
conceal from my wife, with her flashing
white teeth, ply mental, spiritual and
physical humiliation at having to exist on
pea soup, soft -Moiled eggs and medicinal
brandy,
But it didn't work. We had the usual
light about the tree, finally getting it up
after trout' hours of recriminations, tears
and explosions of rage and frustration.
This year we put it in a bucket of wet
sand, after years of trying to set it up in
pails of coal, in various tree stands, and on
a flat board nailed to the trunk. As usual,
it toppled heavily in all directions but the
right one, and we had to tic it to the %vale
with string.
Every year my wife says other people
get their tree to stand without using string.
And every year I defy her to show ole one
tree in town that isn't t•ussesd to the wall
ill SOI11C way.
For Christmas dinner, I'd bought a fat
duck. But the old lady didn't feel like
eating an entire cluck by herself. So we sat
around rather vacantly and stared at the
huge pile of parcels under the tree, which
could not be opened, of course, because 90
per cent of them were for "the boys," and
the boys weren't expected till the day after
Boxing Day.
So the day they (lid arrive, noses running
freely, we cooked the dock and a roast of
beef, and a. happy time was had by all,
trying to put front -end -loaders and fire
trucks and other plastic monstrosities
together.
You know there was something to be
said for those old days during the
Depression, when kids got a pair of mitts or
sox and maybe a 15 -cent bubble nine.
At least the adults didn't have to spend
hours trying to find parts for Tinker 'Toys
and Leggo and Sesame St, scattered all
over the living room. They didn't have to
try to get together stuff that would have
taxed Lcoanrdo da Vinci,
However, the boys were a roaring
delight, as always, and their Gran spoiled
them silly, and their mother told me what
was wrong with my entire attitude 10
teaching (she's been at it three months and
has all the questions and most of the
answers), and their father drowsed quietly
during the piano concert that followed, and
yours truly ran out every hour to scrape 10
incites of snow off the car.
But this is not normalcy, How joyous it is
to get back to the old, humdrum routine.
To hear that thrilling , drilling sound of the
alarm clock at 7:15, totter to the bathroom
with arthritic joints givitig out cracks like
maple trees in a deep frost, 011(1 to emerge
in three-quarters of an hour, smelling of
shaving cream, toothpaste and honest
soap, another chapter of a novel read.
Flow very pleasant it is to wade out to the
garage in the barely lighted morning, snow
flying in all directions, scratch the ice off
the inside of your windshield with your
linger -nails, and try to start the old beast,
which emits a couple of grunts like a lady
moose in labor , aid falls totally,
unforgivably silent.
How thrilling to get back to work, the
salvation of I11a11y 0 man and woman. and
exchange witty repartee about losing your
hoots at the New Year's Eve party, and
whose snowmobile broke down, and why
Jack's nose is swollen whit grog -blossoms,
and how much white guck there is in the
driveway,
And then thc:c's the delight of getting
home after work, and sitting down for one
of those intimate chats with your wife, who
tells you, at interminable length, how to
place 0 "dart" in a pattern for sewing,
Mien all you know about darts is that it's
played in a pub,
And to discover that for dinner you 're
having hamburg and onions, which you
had in the cafeteria for lunch. And that the
bill for the furnace repairs came to $48. and
that the man wants 50 bucks to clean the
ice oft' the roof, and the paper body claims
you owe 111111 for six weeks.
don't know about you, but 1 can't stand
too, many of these holidays the slothful
lying-in in the morning, the staying up
until three to watch a late movie, the
one -how' coffee breaks morning aid
afternoon.
Its debilitating. it contributes to moral
delinquency. Far better the comfortable
horror of the regular routine of' a Canadian
ww'illlcl'.

Roadside cutting
leaves ugly mess
Over Ball's Bridge front the Auburn road
is an exceptionally lovely stretch of road
much admired by everyone \vho passes this
way. Past Blanche Pownall Garrett's Stone
House and through a leafy tunnel, it winds
past two little lakes on the way to Ben
Millett,. However, on my last trip along
here in early December I was shocked to
see that irresponsible chain saws hacl been
at work and along both sides of the road by
the lakes large trees and brush had been
out off to a height of a few inches resulting
in a0 ugly O1CSS,
The Goderich township crew who did
this dastardly deed explained that the road
needed widening to give access to the new
wider agricultural implements, A laudable
thing, we will certainly need all the
agriculture we can get in the years ahead,
But evidently there is no budget to
complete this widening at the present tinge,
Still the shrubs and trees bad to go, Why?
i've done a lot of photography in the area
the past two summers and know how many
car s drive slowly along enjoying the
beauty en a fine summer's day. Cars mean
people and people mean money for the
community, A lovely spot that attracts as
many propel as this one did is of
inestimable value to small businesses in
the countryside.
Now the deed is done I suggest that the
mess should be cleared up without further
damage to the environment. To leave this
ugly stubble as it is,is short sighted, We
must preserve and nurture our children's
heritage now, Southern Ontario is too
pr'Cciotus to Paste,
Sincerely,
Jo M anning (Ms.)

Not official
Earlier this week the provincial government
headed by the HonourableWilliambavis decided not
to make French an official language of Ontario.
The Federal Secretary of State, John Roberts,
says such action is destructive to the cause of a
United Canada. French is now the official second
language of Canada and therefore anything federally
oriented "must be in two languages.
Mr. Roberts said the acceptance of French as an
official language is not too important to Quebeckers,
but the refusal of it is.
It would appear that fuel has been added to the
fires of separation.
Implementing a two language law in Ontario
would cost big bucks. All provincial legislation would
involve two languages, business would have to
comply with the new legislation with costly
packaging changes and staff who would be
knowledgeable in the French language. It would be
taught more extensively, than it already is, in our
schools.
We fear that to implement French as a second
language in Ontario would cause more bad feelings
and cost more than it 'as a gesture is worth.
To'the editor
Another p oint of view
In the article which appeared in The Ministers Study in last
weeks Standard it was suggested that the Blyth Board of Trade's
Double Your Money Draw as an injustice. As a participant in
this draw, I differ from this point of view. In most cases, the
tickets given were an extra for most people. A lot of them would
have come anyhow and this, to me, was more or less a way of
showing extra appreciation. As for Wintario etc., please
consider where the money goes. To me, it is a way of donating to
a worthy cause and if I won, I would be able to donate even more
to not only that but other worthy causes. Without money being
made in these areas, how would we be able to support not only
ourselves but help our fellowman as well? "Love your neighbour
as yourself" you quoted. Well, no matter where you turn
nowadays, it's spend your donation today for some needy cause
or another.
This includes the orphans, war victims overseas and, yes,
some ministries as well.
In my opinion, this is not gambling , but another way to
circulate more money to help others.
This may not be your way, but it seems to me it is another way
to carry out the Lord's work. Without money, in this day and age
it would be pretty hard to do any of these things that are now
made possible.

No hostel yet
Thank you for the publicity you have given our organization
and thank -you for sending us a copy of the newspaper edition
that the editorial appeared in. However, I would like to make a
slight correction., In the editorial, it was stated that our group
provides a hostel for abused women and their dependent
children. At present, we do not have a hostel. The goal of our
organization is to establish such a hostel,
Could you please make this correction? We would not like to
see an abused woman travel to Kitchener from Huron County to
stay at a hostel which does not exist. We would appreciate such a
correction.
Thank -you for your time and effort,
Sincerely,
Barb Zurawski

Behind the
scenes by Keith RoulstQn
it's one of those bits and pieces week,s
those weeks when there are a lot of niggling
little things but nothing that rates a whole
column'.
Things such as the report the other night on
C.B.C. National news that our strike record
isn't nearly as bad as we had thought,
compared to other countries. All the labour
brass were proudly pointing out that not only
were we better off than some other countries,
but we've improved in the past year. The
figures for the first 10 months of 1977 showed
the number of man -days lost to strikes to be
only one third of the number for the same
periodof*a year earlier.
Now the union leadership seemed to be
taking all the credit for this for themselves and
their members yet the decline in the strike
rate seemed to coincide completely with the
institution of the government's Anti -Inflation
Board which effectively cut out the cause of
the strikes since it said the workers could only
get a limited pay increase, an increase which
the companies were happy to give.
Strange, isn't it, that the Union leaders
were quick to damn the MB, but they're just
as quick to steal credit for themselves for
what good the AiB has managed to bring?

There's been a government campaign this
year, to get Canadians to stay home more for
their vacations (even,' if the Prime Minister
doesn't) because we're literally vacationing
our country into bankruptcy. At last count we
had something like a billion dollar trade deficit
thanks to all those Canadians who head south
in winter and to Europe in sunimetr rather than
stay at home.
Both C.B.C. and Global news touched on the
subject recently and if anything, seemed like
they were an advertising agency for the
Florida tourist board, Global, for instance,
opened their item with a film clip of a raging
blizzard and people miserably trying to get
around in it, standing frozen at bus slops or
pushing their cars out of snow drifts. 1t then
cut to filmed interviews with tourist agents
alking about the record number of people
heading south and it threw in a few short
scenes of lovely southern beaches and the
inevitable bathing beauty, it closed the news
item off again with more Canadian blizzard
and the remark that, could you really expect
Canadians to stay at home in a Canadian
winter?
C.B.C. wasn't quite as bad but almost. Now
what I wonder is why, if this is supposed to be
unbiased journalism, they couldn't at least
show some of the enjoyable whiter scenes in
Canada. Why not a scene of one of these
beautiful sunlit days with a new fallen snow
blanketing everything? Why not show some of
the millions of Canadians who have fun on the
ski slopes every weekend? Why not show a
family out on their cross country skis or their
snowmobiles? Why do we only show people
miserable in this country in winter?
And, when the next gloomy economic
statistics come out will the news networks
remind people that everyone who goes south
for the winter has helped damage the
economy, or will they take their usual
comfortable, easy way out and blame the
government for everything that is wrong?
******
Have you ever wondered how it is that to
listen to the bosses there there isn't a player
in the WHA who is fit to play in the NHL?
-That is at least until one of the players of the
WHA becomes, available and suddenly the
NHL pulls out the bucks and tries to lure him
away as they are with the two Swedish stars of
the Winnipeg Jets. If the NHL manages to
sign the two they will undoubtedly be called
among the greatest stars in the world at the
news conference announcing the signing. If
they stay with the WHA they'll immediately
revert to being bums.
* **a:
The cost of living, according to Statistics
Canada went up again last month driven up
mainly by the cost of food. The increase in
food over the last year has apparently risen by
something like 17 per cent. At the sank time,
the income of farmers has declined by 30 per
cent in the past two years.
How come last week 1 never heard the two
figures put together by newsmen once? How
come 1 never heard anybody wonder how this
could be happening?
At the same time the price of food was
being blamed for the cost o1' living increase 00
page one of' the Globe and Mail last week, a
professor of something or other was claiming
that a major problem with the government's
competition bill was, that it exempted farm
marketing boards. Now if, as the professor
suggcls, farm marketing boards are unfairly
using their monopolistic powers, how isitthat
that farmers are taking a 30 per cent
decrease in their real income while everyone
else is having an increase of about that much?
What the professor and his learned (?)
colleagues seem somehow to overlook is that
you cannot force farmers to continue to
produce food when they are losing money on
it, You can talk all you want about the need
for the interests of the consumer to be
considered in any national food policy but the
fact remains that the past 20 years has seen
hundreds of thousands of people go out of
food production inCanada because they went
broke producing food. If the next. 20 years
brings the same rate of decline it won't be a
matter of getting food at a cheap price, it will
be trying to get food at all. There just won't be
any farmers left.
THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 25, 1978 —5
WHICH FOOD GROUP DOES THIS FIT INTO? -- BlakeEvans (I)of Belgrave and
Allan Bridge, R.R.5, Wingham, and (on the far side of the table, ) Wayne Fear,
Brussels, Bryan Black, Belgrave and Jack Shiell of R.R.3, Wingham try to figure
out which category of the four categories that are recommended by the Canada
Food Guide that these foods fall into after Grace Bird, home economist with the
Ministry of Food and AGriculture spoke to the Belgrave Kinsmen at their meeting
held Wednesday night at the Queen's Hotel in Brussels. (Staff Photo)
Kinsmen learn
Good nutrition
January 23 - 28 is Nutrition
Week ant, even the Belgrave
Kinsmen have been nude aware
of the fact.
Grace Bird, home economist
with the Ministry 'of Agriculture
and Food, in Clinton. was the
guest speaker at a meeting of the
Kinsmen held in the Queen's
Hotel in Brussels last Wednesday
night.
She talked about the four
groups of foods from Canada's
fowl guide which are: milk and
milk products, bread and cereals,
meat and meat alternates and
fruits and vegetables.
She said that you have to think
of the component that these foods
have in them so you can have a
balanced diet.
Milk and the milk products
group supplies us with calcium.
We need calcium in our bodies
to have strong bones and teeth.
We also need protein. 1t builds
and repairs tissues in our body,"
she said,
Milk also supplies us with
energy, Vitamin D which helps
us to absorb the calcium, and
Vitamin A which helps us to see
and helps our skin, •
The recommended intake of
milk and milk products for adults
is two servings a day.
Bread and Cereal
The next group. the bread and
cereal group provides iron which
is a blood builder, carbohydrates
which arc an energy source,
protein, the B vitamins --
thiamin, riboflavin and niacine
which give us healthy skin and
promote growth.
The Food Guide recommends
three to five servings a day from
the bread and cereals group for
an adult, Ms, Bird told the
Kinsmen.
The fruits and vegetables
group supplies us with Vitamin
C and Vitamin A which is found in
a lot of yellow and green
vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables provide
us with iron and carbohydrates
according to Ms. Bird, She said
that Vitamin C is found naturally
in a lot o1' foods such as citrus
fruit, broccoli, and strawberries.
The recommended serving of
fruits and vegetables are four to
live servings a clay.
Meat and Meat alternates
provide us with Vitamin A,
Vitamin B, iron and protein, Ms.
Bird said,
'1'hc recommended serving of
these for an adult is two servings
a day with a serving of pleat being
about 3 ounces,
Meat Products
If you can't have meat, there
are simulated meat products that
you can have, Ms. Bird said
including. things made with
soybeans. dried peas, beans,
peanut butter. poultry. fish and
eggs which have the sante
components as pleat.
"As long as you have
something from Horse four food
groups you will be meeting their
Canada Food and Drug Adminis-
tration) requirements", Ms. Bird
said.
After her talk, Ms. Bird played
a nutrition game with the men,
dividing them into groups and
giving them grocery hags with
different food products in them,
askit►,g them to divide the groceries
into the four basic food groups.
The Belgrave Kinsmen found
thcguestspeaker interesting and
informative.
After the meeting Kinsman
John Nixon of Belgrave said . "It
slakes you think a little more
about what you're eating, I think
it docs make you eat the right
things. It makes you think of what
you're ordering in the restaurant
too."
Another gentleman commented
that this was kind of a refresher
course on what you take in school
but he said that it's good to keep
in mind when you're bringing up
the children that you can set a
good example.
Allan Bridge of R.R.5,
Wingham said that if he was
doing the shopping he might
think about what Ms, Brid had
said. He also thought it was
interesting to have her speak at
their nlceting. •
"That's the only way you hear
about these things. When it's
brought up in front of you, you
listen", he said.
Gord Pengelly of Belgrave
commented that he thought Ms.
Bird's speech would make him
think a little bit when he was
getting a meal ready for himself.
"1 alight think of something
different, It's always something
to think about," he said.
Kin President Lloyd Michie of
R.R.4, Brussels said that he
enjoyed Ms. Bird's talk and
thought it was interesting.
'.l get a lot of my own meals
and I never really thought of what
1 was getting. Now I've got more
of an idea of what I should be
getting for myself," he said.
He added that Ms. Bird was a
September 26 - 30, 1978
good speaker because she talked
about nutrition in an interesting
way and got people involved in it.

Wintario to schools?
The Huron County Board u'i "douhltcd very much that the
Education supported a resolution pr0yin0ia!
that the government of Ontario 011
consider slaking boards of
education eligible for Wintario •
grams. The Huron board agreed .
with the resolution at its regular
meeting Wednesday.
The resolution, adopted by the
Sinlcoe board of education in
November of 1977, asked the
province to consider slaking
Wintario funds available to
boards to finance needed general
purpose rooms and library
resource centres.
The Sintcoc board noted in its
request for support that the
ministry of education, clue t0
financial limitations, is unable to
fund capital projects for school
boards other than those projects
which will provide additional
pupil places. Many school boards
in the province are unable to
generate finances to take on these,
projects on their own and are Ilius
unable to provide the general
purpose rooms and library
centres.
Wintario funds are avilablc to
communities for municipal
projects not supported by tax
dollars. The money is available
for public projects endorsed. and
supported by municipalities but
not paid for through collected
taxes or special purpose taxes.
The Wintario funds are matched
dollar for dollar against money
collected in the community
through donations or fund raising
projects.
The Sintcoc board reasoned
that the facilities it suggests be
eligible for Wintario funds are
available and used frequently by
the general public. Many times
the facilities in the schools ate the
only odes in the eotlltllttnity and
are used for cultural and
recreational activit les,
John Henderson, the Scaforlh
trustee, reasoned that a
provincial decision to support the
resolution may result in money,
spent on things school boards
really don't need. Ile said without
guidance from boards money
could he spent on projects that
may have very limited use

said he saw merit in the
resolution but added that he

The education coniniittee of the

move was made after the board
received a letter from the
elementary school 'principals'
association for the county asking
that the board consider develop-
ing a better working relationship.
The association told the board
in the letter that it was concerned
that school personnel have often
expressed a lack of opportunity
for input into the development of
board policy. It added that there
was little personnel input into the
decision making process which
affects programs and the
operation of the schools.

staff share the sane major
objective of providing the best
possible system of education
within the boundaries of human
limitations ancl human restraints.

co-operative endeavor can
contribute toward obtaining the
goal",
The principals said that fewer
misunderstandings, better
concepts of purposes, greater
acceptance of priorities, greater
appreciation of li niitations and
procedural frameworks and better
interpretations of community
needs and values could result
from a closer working relation-
ship.
The letter added that there was
no intent by the principals to
interfere with the rights, powers
and duties of the board but only
the desire to have the opportunity
to work co-operatively toward the
best possible planning and
consideration which is necessary
in the exercising of those powers

jeopardized by stormy weather in
Huron early last week, Mr.
Cochrane granted the teacher a
week's leave of absence so she
could accompany her husband on
a trip to Acapulco.
Board chairman John Elliott
asked the board to grant the leave
adding that the director had
already given it and needed the
board's blessing to make it
official.
"Based on previous board
presedence,"' added Mr
Cochrane quickly.
"1 vote we turn it down," joked
Wingham trustee Jack
Alexander.
Cochrane told the board that
the teacher, who was referred to
only as employee S.I.N. 444 638

attendance and that her principal
had given his permission for the
leave subject to board approval.

Murray Gaunt, Liberal MPP for

face two major decisions in this
session, property tax reform and
implementaion of the trespass
law which is expected to be
introduced in the Legislature Feb.

Gaunt said the property tax
reform is a prominent piece of
legislation that is politically
sensitive. He said the trespass
law, when passed, will mean that
written permission will be
required before hunting, fishing
or anything can be done on
private property,

One saying.
formed in Scritpures as a question
we keep in mind in this talking
about the Board of Trade's
Double Your Money Draw:"Why
do you sec the speck that is in
your brother's eye, but do not
notice the log that is in your own
eye?" This text curbs any
comforts in self-righteousness, 1
begin this section of our so far
one-sided conversation to indicate
on the one hand a Pack of malice
and on the other awareness of the
danger of self-righteousness.
To the point now.Wc have been
talking about the injustice called
the Blyth Board of Trade's annual
Double Y our Money Draw, and
other gambling gimmicks of
similar ilk, 1 think you agree that
businesses encouraging greed
and patrons drawn by greed slake
an ill-founded enterprise, A ncl 1
hope too that you see that
gambling and singing a
Christmas carol like, "He rules
the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove,
The glories of his righteousness,"
make incongruous company.
Aiding and abetting gambling
is as good as saying, "I hate my
neighbour," Is that too strong
You may feel no malice; you may
be full of good cheer and peace to
all men, Nevertheless, believing
and doing are but two sides of the
same coin. What people do,
indicates what they believe, and
what they believe is indicated by
what they do. Gambling is a form
of hatred, such as 11'e are talking
about now, using others to get
something for oilrselves.
hi contrast, the Lord says, "But
i1' you bile and devour one another
take heed that you are not
consumed by OI1C another."
What I propose in the name of
justice, in the name of proving the
glories of God's righteousness, is
something much more in line with
justice and with what is called the

spirit of Christnlas,That spirit is
one of giving. I propose that
merchants, instead of soliciting
on the basis of greed, solicit upon
the spirit of justice, either doing
away with costly gimmicks
completcly(thcy only add to
inflation) or near Christmas lisle
cut retail prices by five or ten
percent. Either action treats all
customers equally and
honourably, for no one is used,
neither merchants nor patrons.
With proper advertising, openly
and honestly, sec if that does not
bring customers, and more than
offset the five or ten percent cut
in retail prices.
Ridiculous? Poor business, you
say? But it is just, and it is
honourable, and it is loving one's
neighbour along the - biblical
injunction. And the Scriptures,
which cannot he disproven, are
filled with the accounts that
where justice reigns there is
prosperity; that truth begins in
Genesis 1, and continues past
Revelation 22. "You shall be
careful to do therefore as the Lord
your God has commanded you;
you shall not turn aside to the
right hand or to the left, Y ou
shall walk in all the way which teh
Lord your God has commanded
you, that you may live, and that it
may go well with you, and that
you may live long in the land
which you shall possess." (Deaf.
5.32-33) As much as this text
applies to Israel's possession of
the Promise Land, its central
truth stands, generation in,
gcncratiOn out.
After having said all this you
may be asking, "Why all this fuss
about something SO minor as a
Double Your Money Draw when
the really big fish are things like
Wintario andLoto Canada?"

These latter two are clear-cut

a Double Your Money DRaw fits

work . one of the five years.
Gayle, who was an RNA in
London, for seven years, is no
longer working in that field but
had a special reason for
expressing her concern.
"1 don't think the rural women
in the area understand the policy.
They issued out a policy with
registration forms in November.
if you didn't read it carefully, you
wouldn't have gotten 0111 of it that
by the end of 1985 you would have
had to work 50 days," Mrs, King
said.
'Rural Areas
Mrs. King was concerned that
because sonic people living in the
rural areas don't get the bigger
daily newspapers, nurses in the
area might be unaware of the
situation that faced therm, '
But Gayle King isn't the only
nurse in the area questioning the
new proposal. Wibbina 13ylsnla,
Carol Lawrie and Mrs. 13111
Bromley also have strong
opinions on the subject.
Wibbina llylsma of RR 1 Blyth
who works in Dr. R.W. Street's
•office as an RNA thinks the whole
situation is "rotten".
She thinks that first of all they
should . forget the two year
program and get back to three
years.
"'They put out too many nurses
too fast," Wibbina said.
She doesn't agree with the 50
day work stipulation and said, "if
they start that, they're going to
have all the nurses applying for
part time work."
Carol Lawrie of Blyth who is a
registered 1111l'SC al1(1 works at
1-1uronview about four or five days
in the summer and two or three
days in the winter doesn't agree
with the proposal either.
Young Children
She said it was hardly fair for
those who had young children to
look after or for those who had to
quit for health reasons.
"Refresher coursed can see, 1
can't see why they can take your
registration away from you," she
said.
As for the nurses having to take
a refresher course, Mrs. Lawrie
said she thought a lot depended
on the" person,
"You've got to work and be
watched and it's up to your place
of employment to know if you
need a refresher course," she
said. She thought if a nurse
wanted to learn a new technique
that most people would only be
too glad to take a refresher
courses.
Mrs, - Bill Bromley of
Londesboro is another RNA who
has some st .rong opinions on the
50 day proposal.
She got her training at the
London Training Centre in Byron
and last worked in 1974 but she
may want tb go back to work some
day so the proposal will definitely
have some effect on her.
Mrs. Bromley said "Basically
what they're trying to say is that
patient care could be upgraded
and basically 1 understand what
they're trying to say but I'd fell
better if the College of Nursing
were putting to the hospitals, the
idea that if somebody that hasn't
been working for awhile is
coaling back to work, then the
hospital should offer workshops."

"That benefits the nurse and it
benefits the hospital," she said.
The College of Nursing has
suggested that refresher courses
will be offered but no reference
has been made to where these
courses will be offered, when they
will be offered or their duration.
Mrs. King wanted to know if
courses would be offered in
Winghanl, Stratford, and Exeter
or whether the nurses would have
to go someplace like London to
take them.
Small Hospitals
She suggested that smaller
community hospitals could open
up weekend seminars and
refresher courses, because of the
cost and inconvenience of
travelling to larger ones.
She said she felt sorry for those
girls who because of lack of jobs
had been forced to find work in
dry good and clothing stores who
arc now going to have to keep
looking for jobs and who will have
to spend more stoney taking re
training courses if they can't find •
them.
Wibbina Bylslna who took RNA
training at the Huron Hospital
School (which no longer exists) in
Exeter thinks there should be re
training programs for everybody.
She suggested one night a
week refresher coureses and
diplomas after the nurses have
had so 111a11y lectures.
"Really, I think it would be a
good idea, if they had courses all
the time," she said.
Catch Up
Carol Lawrie, thought it
wouldn't take too long for nurses
to catch up on their training they
brought the refresher courses to
the high schools in the towns
around the arca.
Mrs. Bromley said she would
be quite willing 10 take a hospital
workshop. If it was offered at a
cost, she said 'she would pay for
it.
Ml's, Bromley has made her
feelings known to the College of
Nursing. She said that she wrote
to them and asked them what
they were offering in replacement
of the registration fee.
She said that they may weed
the nurses out, but by forcing
people like herself to go back to
work to keep up their registration
young people just coming out of
training would not be able to find
jobs.
"If you do something you're
not qualified to do it can be taken
before the Health Disciplines' Act
through there they watch you, the
report you, that's when you can
lose your registration and
rightfully so,
Mrs. Bromely said.
Mrs, Bromley was also hopeful
that women who had been nurses
but were no longer interested in
working as such would also speak
up and oppose the new proposal.

RC board studies
enrolment decline
by Wilma Oke
Concerned about declining
enrolment, the members of the
Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board
have begun a detailed study of
the problem.
At a board meeting in Dublin
Monday night William Eckert,
Director of Education, presented
researched data pertaining to
present and projected enrolments
as contained in a report prepared
by administrative staff, He said
the researched data in the report
has been translated into alter-
natives for review and debate.
Donald Crowley, Board
chairman, pointed out that the
board to this point has made no
decisions but plans to arrange
formal meetings with interested
groups to disseminate the
information contained in the
report and solicit coninient from
parents and ratepayers.
Mr, Eckert said the admini-
strative staff report indicates that
"enrolments began to decline
sharply beginning in September,
1977, (5,4%) and will continue to
drop a further 15% over the next
five years. Although the system
enrolment has declined 20%
since 1970 (3,507) pupils
compared to 2,834 in 1977), the
Ministry has, through the
General Legislature Grant Plan
provided the funding necessary to
maintain revenues without
impacting the local mill rate. The
current enrolment declines
coupled with provincial monetary
restraints means we must reduce
ordinary expenditures in 1978".
Fixed Costs
Mr. Eckert said the report
observes that many costs arc
fixed such as heat, hydro,
maintenance, financing and audit
costs, etc. and the natural
geography prohibits the closing of
classrooms at rates proportional
to • the actual decline in enrol-
ments. Expenditures which,
exceed "grantable ceilings"
contained in ministry regulations
are assessable 100 per cent to the
local taxpayer and some decisions
to be taken toward meeting the
objective of reduced expenditure
cannot be implemented in total
until September of 1978. He said
the Board objective relative to
declining enrolments is to define
and study the problem, review
alternatives and determine
solutions while maintaining and
improving the quality of
programs and services.
Alternatives
Mr. Eckert said a number of
alternatives will be receiving
further consideration by the
Board. The Report outlined the
results that would come from the
Board staffing Grades 1 and 2 at a
ratio of one teacher to 24
students; Grades 3 to 6 at a ratio
of one teacher to 26 students;
Grades 7 and 8 at a ratio of one
teacher to 28 students; and if
Kindergarten continued to be
staffed at the present ratio of one
half-time teacher for the number
of students enrolled, It was
illustrated that based on a
projected enrolment of 2648
students, this particular staffing
ratio would require the Board to
staff the schools with 103.40
teachers. Currently, there are
121.15 classroom teachers on
staff,
If the staffing ratio for Grades 1
and 2 was 25-1, with Grades 3.6 at
30.1 and Grades 7 and 8 at 35-1
with the Kindergartens being
staffed at one half-time teacher
per class, the number of teachers
required for September, 1978
would be 90.90,
Further consideration will also
be given to integrating Kinder-
garten and Grade one pupils in all
schools wherever feasible and if it
were considered, in all cases
where the number of Kinder-
garten pupils enrolled falls below
twelve (12),
If this were done and if the
average number of students in a
classroom fell between 22 and 32
that the number of teachers
required for September, 1978,
would be 92.60.
Further study and consider-
ation is to be given to the
possibility, of consolidating the
Dublin/St. Columban school
attendance areas to reduce the
total number of classrooms in use
from 11 to 8. Such a redistribution
it was pointed out might be
effected by housing the Grades
Kindergarten to 4 students in St.
Columban and the Grades 5 to 8
students at Dublin. Such an
organization would avoid the
need for triple grades and permit
the Board to eliminate one
portable classroom and fully
utilize the facilities at St.
Columban.
Alternately, the consolidation
of Seaforth/St. Columban school
attendance areas with a
redistribution of Grades K-4 to St.
Columban and Grades 5-8 to
Seaforth is also being given
consideration.
The Board will decide by
mid-February what changes will
be implemented by September of
this year. Changes to be
implemented by September of
1979 will be decided by April,
1978.

the board were elected with the

Huron board ok's
religion classes
The Huron County Board of
Education approved a request
Wednesday from the Listowel
Ministerial Association to begin
religious instruction classes in
Grey Central Public School. The
association asked the principal of
Grey Central for permission to
begin one half hour lesson twice a
month with each of the Grade 5,
6, 7 and 8.
Pastor Laurie Morris of the
Listowel association contacted the
school after the home and school
association for Grey Central had
discussed the religious instruc-
tion several times with the Grey
Central principal. The board was
told that it was the hone and
school that asked the ministers to
see what could be arranged by the
ministerial association.
John Cochrane, director of
education, told the board that the
school would have to send forms
home with students to give
parents a chance to decide if they
wanted their children taking
religious instruction. He said the
parents has the right to exempt
the child from the clas ,es the
same as they have the right to
excuse the child from "standing
during 0' Canada or saying the
Lord's Prayer during opening
exercises".
Mr. Cochrane told the board
that the principal would be
meeting with representatives of
the association to draw up
guidelines and a course of study
prior to starting the lessons. He
added that different ministers
would then be responsible for
different parts of the course but
that the principal would have'final
say on what was taught.
Brussels trustee Donald
McDonald told the board that he
was in favor of the classes adding
that it "niay be the only contact
some children get with religious
instruction."
Goderich trustee Cayley Hill
said the board should approve the
course on a one year basis rather
than leaving it as an ongoing
thing. He said that the principal
should make a report to the board
on how the classes were received
or the ministerial association may
get the impression they have a
"carte blanche" to continue a
course that is not being accepted
well.
Mr. Cochrane told the board
that only one other school in
the county has religious instruc-
tion classes, He said Robertson
Memorial Public School,
Goderich was working with the
ministerial association in that
town giving a course that was not
to exceed one hour per week. He
added that other courses taught
in the the school had to be
compressed

B of E questions $4000 payment
'i'hc"Huron County Board of
Education members didn't know
Wednesday whether a $4,433
membership in the Ontario School
Trustee's Council would be a
duplication of a $3,521.30
membership they approved for
the Ontario Public School
Trustee's Association. The board
decided to have John Cochrane,
director of education, and Herb
Turkhcim, Huron's member on
the Association, investigate the
worth of Huron's membership in
the council
The council, according to Mr.
Cochrane, is the board's avenue
to the ministry of education and is
the only organized body of school
board's in the province that the
board recognizes. Huron has
been a member of the council for
the past five years ,
"The council is the only trustee
group recognized by the ministry
and is the umbrella the ministry
uses to receive requests, resolu-
tions and ideas from boards,"
said Cochrane.
Goderich trustee Cayley Hill
raised the question of need for the ' board knew if the Huron board
Huron board to belong to both the got anything from the council
council and the association, He
said Ile did not mean to be critical
of the organization but merely
wanted to know if the board was
duplicating services by belonging.'
to both groups. He added that in
this time of restraint the board
may be able to save $4,000 by
joi ning just one group.
"That will buy a lot of
typewriters," he pointed out.
Jack Alexander, Wingham's
trustee, asked if anyone on the
worth the $4,433,
Board chairman John Elliot}
said he had been to a conventior
sponsored by the council and said
that it was worthwhile going to
the affairs to hear speakers of the
the calibre usually at the
convention but he added that he
didn't know if it was worth
$4,000.
Mr, Elliott suggested that the
board table the matter until it can
be ascertained what benefits the
board derives from membership
in the council., He added! (hat the
trustees should be given a clear
picture of the pros and cons
before making a decision.
"If we don't know now we're
not going to find out in 30 days,
claimed Mr, Hill, "Some
members of the board have been
sitting at this table for a number
of years. I'm not opposed to
tabling the matter but I would like
to point out that the board should
know now what the worth of the
membership is,"

THE BLYTH STANDARD , JANUARY 25, 1978 -15
Erosion control stressed
Soil erosion was emphasized on
the final day of the annual
three-day Agricultural
Conference at the University of
Guelph, January 3. .1 and 5. In a
crowded lecture hall eight
speakers presented their ideas
with slides to illustrate their
recommendations. "Why be
concerned ahetlt soil erosion?"
asked W. T. Dickinson, School of'
Engineering, 0.,4 C. "How much
erosion is too much?" was the
question posed by Neil E. Moore,
Soils and Crops Branch of
O.M.A.F.
Two of the speakers were well
known Huron County residents.
Norm Alexander , Londesboro.
spoke on "Erosion as I see it from
a Drainage Com nlission01''s
Viewpoint" and Jim McIntosh, a
Federation of Agriculture
A. Bolton
Art Bolton of R.R.1, Dublin,
was elected the 1978-79 president
of the Huron Cattlemen's
Association at their annual
meeting in the Clinton Legion last
week.
Mr. Bolton succeeds George
Adams of R.R.2, Wroxeter, last
year's president.
Neil Stapleton of R.R2, Auburn
is the new vice president of the
240 member association, while
Bob McGregor of R.R.2, Kippen
is the new treasurer, and Stan
Paquette of the ag office remains
as secretary.
/Archie Ethcrington of R.R.I.
Hensall, was named Huron
director to the Ontario
Cattlemen's Association of which
he was president for the past
year.
The sleeting also named 47
directors from the 16 townships in
Huron.
Dr. L. IMartin of the University
of Guelph, one of the guest
spc akers, told the audience of
the difficulties he is having
gathering information on
marketing methods and alterna-
tives.
Regional Director from 'Ricker -
smith Township, spoke on "Soil
Conservation: A Farmer's
Viewpoint".
Mr. Alexander has become well
known beyond the borders of
Huron County For his work on soil
erosion, and for his efforts to alert
government and farm organi-
zations to the erosion problem.
Mr. Alexander said sonic
provision should be made to train
back -hoc operators in drainage
installations and repair, so they
would be available as sub-
contractors for hire by ditch and
tile contractors, and also would be
available for municipal councils,
C1I'a111age co1111111SSionel'S and
contractors to hire for repair
work. He recommends instruction
and training for tile installers and
ditch contractors in rip -rah
construction, and other erosion
control measures, which alight
include sealing graded runways.
"Much of the information on
cropping practices., grassed
waterways, permissible water
velocities and how to control the
speed of water from private tile
endings exiting into municipal
ditches is available from the
United States", he said, "but
could be adapted to Ontario
conditions,"
Mr. Alexander drew the
group's attention to a book by a
Dr. Mciconkey called "Conser-
vation in Canada." Among other
things, 1110 book recommends
research to develop 8 co-
ordinated national plait and
organization to carry out a long
tcl'lll action program t0 conSCI'VC
the natural resources of Canada,
and more personnel trained in the
heads cattlemen
Dr. Martin is doing an analysis
on different marketing methods
and the costs of each system.
The systems, such as the
country auction, the terminal
auction, direct to packer sales,
listing service, and teletype
system, all mean different costs
to thsoc in the marketing system:
the producers, the packers, and
the intermediates (the agents,
salesmen, truckers, etc.)
The Association also received
an update on the new Brucellosis
control program from another
guest speaker, Dr. Bill
Thompson from the Canada
Department of Agriculture,
Health of Animals Branch.
Swine meeting

'i'he program will include a
Portables fire
hazard
•
•
'i'he Huron County Board of
Education was told Wednesday
that several of its portable
classrooms are considered to be
fire problems by the Ontario Fire '.
Marshal's office. John Cochrane,
director of education, told the
board that some of the 12
p 'ortables in use in the county do
not sleet some fire regulations
li sted in the Ontario Building
Code.. He said the -. portables
cannot be considered fire hazards
but that the fire marshal's office
is concerned about the location of
some of the units.
Mr. Cochrane said that the list
of requirements the. fire marshal
requested to gain approval for
continued use of the portables
ranged from writing up fire
alarms to moving the classrooms.
He said the platter should be
dealt with the by the budget
committee which should consider
projected use of the portables
compared vigil costs to meet fire
marshal recommendations,
Mr. Cochrane said 012 report
from the litre marshal was insti-
gated by the Godcrich fire
department. He said that
department expressed concern
over the location of the three
aof
portables in use at Godcrich
District Collegiate Institute. He
said the questions t'aised',by the
Godcrich department prompted
the fire marshal to examine all
portables in the county.
The director explained_ to the
board that tlic costs for moving
-some of the portables inay be
premature if taken on now,' He
said that by dragging its heels
until' the end of the school year
the , board may save ' money
because the portables may' be
moved anyway due ,to projected
enrolments at schools ':where
portables are located, He:added
that he assumed by the-, report
that the board had until the end of
the school year to make its
decision.
Using Goderich as an example
the director jointed out that the
use of the portable classrooms for
a short period was decided on
rather than the trauma caused by.
changing school boundaries. He
said the portables were pressed
into service rather than Jelling

normally attend Goderich
secondary school that they would

techniques of conservation, This
calls For more scholarships to
Support ' graduate studies in
conservation in other countries,
especially the United States, it
notes,
"About 25 years have passed
since Dr. McConkey wrote this
and what has been done about it?
What would a scholarship cost?
How long will it be before these
suggestions are put into
practice?" Mr, Alexander
concluded.
.line McIntosh, in his address,
pointed out that farmers must
juggle soil preservation with the
attempt to obtain maximum
productivity. "If certain' soil
preparation techniques such as
zero tillage or chisel plowing
reduce the surface loss of soil, but
also reduces the corn yield by
16°i , who is going to pay the
price of the yield reduction?" the
'I'uckersnlith farmer asked. "And
who is going to be responsible for
determining what percentage of
the population would go hungry
because of the shortfall in total
yield?"
The soil must be operated the
same as a bank, Mr. McIntosh
said. Continued withdrawals with
no deposits would soon lead to
bankruptcy. Economic steward-
ship of Outland resource may well
he the call of the 1980's, Ile noted,
,just as the requirement of the 60's
and 70's was to grow two blades
of grass where one grew before,
or 100 pounds of corn where 50
pounds of oats grew before.
Mr. McIntosh told the audience
of farmers. Students and
professors that possibly one of the
main reasons farmers in the past
have never been too concerned
about soil loss from erosion is due
to the attitude of government and
society in general, permitting the
rapid loss of good agricultural soil
under the developer's bulldozer.
"I expect that the total tonnage
of soil lost from farm land due to
erosion in Ontario in the period
1971 to 1980 would only be a
small fraction of what is being lost
to urban and industrial develop-
ment, the building of highways
and the construction of energy
(hydro) corridors," he said.
Mr. McIntosh described how
the annual harvest of rocks from
fields could be used to formjtone
dams parallel with the direction
the field is normally cultivated.
These dams do not significantly
interfere with the operation of
equipment, but they slow up the
flow of water and cause
sedimentation behind each of the
stone piles, he said.
Mr. McIntosh said soil
conservation could best be
accomplished through education
programs and not through
legislation, He quoted one official
from the Ministry of the Environ-
ment who admitted there are
problems enforcing all
regulations now,
"Most farmers who own their
land value it highly as a resource,
even more so today with high land
values, and do not,want to sec it
slowly wash or blow away. If
programs can be developed to
reduce the loss of soil due to
erosion, which can be
economically adopted, then I am
sure that farmers will be only too
willing to adopt them," Mr.
McIntosh concluded.

Frorn Me to You
Put nutrition in your diet
This being nutrition week, it is
hoped that many of us ‘will lake a
more careful look at our diets and
try to be more conscious about the
things we eat. In the past couple
of weeks, there have been articles
published in the Standard dealing
with nutrition and it is hoped
some good will come from these,
You are really conscious about
what you cat Mien you visit the
doctor for a yearly checkup or the
dentist.
In my case, a long anticipated
visit to the dentist ended tap in a
few cavities being filled and a
warning about yearly checkups.
The well-turned phrase 'you
are what you eat' is very true. 11,

and salted dishes? Flow long does
it take for our arteries to harden if
we love to eat pickled eggs by the
day instead of the occasion?
With the approach of spring we
can plan and grow some of the
vegetables that would round out
our diets and slake us all stronger
and healthier, But nutrition is
something that must be thought
about daily and not occasionally

secondary school.
"I guess it's partly due to
tradition or pride," reasoned the
director, "People have been
sending their children to
Goderich for years and object to
being told they now must send
the children to Clinton." -
Mr. Cochrane said the
projected enrolment for G0(Iet'iCh
may permit the board to remove
the portables at that school at the
end of this school year. He added
that enrolment speculations for
the county may mean the removal
of all portables in four years.
He explained that the portables
were located under the auspices
of the Ontario Building Code and
that a building code had
recently been changed, He said
the portables met the
requirements of the old cock but
not the new, He added that under
the new code the portables can be
no closer t0 a school wall than 40
feet and must be at least 20 feet
apart from one another.
"A portable at Brookside
Public School is 20 feet from a
blank wall," he said.
The director said the fire
marshal's office would permit 110
covered walkways between the
portables and the main school
building so the portables were
placed as close to the building as
possible. He said that elementary
schools using portables usually
had no crass rotation and the
students were in the rooms all
clay, He added that in the case of
secondary schools the students
are in and out of the portables
every teaching period.
"11' a student has to go to tale
W1101'00111 he either puts on his
hat and coat to go or opens the
door and runs", he said. He
added that when he was teaching
he was assigned to a portable for
a year and had 'a head cold "the
entire year
He explained that the portables
are leased by the board and under
the terms of the lease the board is
entitled to one free move of each
unit. He said that if the nlvoe isn't
free the board has to pay 5430 if
the unit is mdved less than 60
feet. He said the three page
.document from the tiro marshal's
office listed the requirements for
each unit considered to be a
problem and asks the board to let
the fire marshal know what it is
prepared to do to alter the
situation.

You hear a lot nowadays about the need to save energy.
So, what do you think? Perhaps you are bothered by what
you might gel Into if you become serious about saving
energy. A few shoi•t•questions printed below may help you
to sort out your ideas. 13ut first, we need one answer before
the rest can mike sense,
What do we Incas by energy'? 11's the source of healing
and cooling, lighting and motive power on w our
homes, transportation, industries, farms and businesses
depend in everyday life. We draw it mainly from fossil fuels
(oil, gas and coal), water power and nuclear reactors: to a
lesser extent from wood; and to a small but increasing
extent from sunshine, wind, tides and hot springs. 01
course, almost all of this energy originates front the sun,
Now for sonic yes -and -no questions that you (night ask
yourself, (No prizes: we're trying to save, not spend,
remember? )
Do you think the talk about an energy shortage is a lot
of nonsense?
Can we go on using more and more energy as long as we
can pay for i1?
If we soon use up the world's available stock of fossil
fuels, can we just switch to other sources of energy and
continue as before?
To make a worthwhile saving in energy, d0 We have to
ruin our standard of living?
Is the call to save energy aimed only at "the little guy",
while big users like industry and government go tree?
If you have answered "no" so far, you must be on the
right track.
('an you save money through saving energy'?
Is it enough if you save energy simply by finding ways to
stop wasting it'?
('an you save energy without making your home to(.
cold (or loo hot )?
Are there ways of driving a car without being considered
a waster?
('an Tabour -saving devices he used in conjunction with
energy-saving ideas?
You probably won't be surprised to learn that the best
answer to those questions is "yes".
- If your Monte insulated at lentil to the minimum recom-
mended level?
-- Is your home heating system cleaned and serviced at
least once a year?
Do you draw only the amount of hot water you'need
when you do the washing, take a hath or shower, and so
on?
Do you make a habit of switching off lights that are not
in use?
Are you prepared 10 give up your bid for the local
championship in the amount of garbage you throw out?
Do you try to save energy away from home: on the job,
of school, wherever you go?
Only a saint or a born liar could give a solid "yes" to this
Iasi group of questions, but perhaps you haven't said a flat
luno" either.
This interrogation may have raised still more questions
in your mind. Don't worry. You can get answers by sending
for a copy of 100 ways to save energy and money in the
home to 13ox 3500, Station C, Ottawa, Ontario, K1Y 4G1,,
and by looking out for this series of newspaper columns
called "Energy Savers".
