First person story
Reporter stuck in
(Editor's Note: Many travellers
were stuck en route during
Thursday and Friday's storm.
Here's a story from one of them,
reporter Debbie Ranney)
Nobody is likely to forget last
Thursday and Friday's
snowstorm for awhile, especially
not me. i was stormstaycd at the
Clinton Hotel.
I was down in Scaforth working
at the Huron Expositor when the
storm started. The publisher and
his wife had offered me a place to
stay but it seemed to clear up
about four o'clock so i decided to
head back for nay apartment in
Blyth. l wish 1 had stayed in
Scaforth.
It really was clear when 1 left
and I was rarin' to go. My car,
unfortunately, wasn't. Before I
left Seaforth, I had to get the
battery charged --twice. I should
have sensed that this was an
omen of bad things to come but
pig-headed idiot that I ani I
started off anyway.
1 was about halfway between
Seaforth and Cli nton when my
car started to slow down -- all the
way to a dead stop.
1 looked around to see if there
was any traffic coning my way.
There wasn't. So I ran to a farm
house and asked if they had any
booster cables. They didn't.
They did however think another
farmer up the road had some so I
ran up there, This elan said he
had some but that they weren't at
this farm, they were at his other
farm. down the road. He did
however know a closer neighbour
who he thought might have some.
He did
Luckily the neighbour did, So 1
went on my way about a guar ,ter
of a mile down the road where
once again my car cane to a dead
stop.
1 looked around and noticed a
big gasoline truck coning my
way and the driver stopped -- but
he didn'thaveany booster ca .bles
I've been thinking 1 should have
some to put in my truck," he said.
I know just how he felt.
He then drove off but
fortunately -- a good Samaritan
was not far behind. As he stopped
1 opened his car door and asked
hopefully if he had any booster
cables.
Sorry! No pix
Although we shot two rolls of
film at the Robbie Burns night at
the Blyth Memorial Hall last
Wednesday, we are sorry to say
that neither of them turned out.
What makes this exceptionally
disappointing is that the talent
there was extremely good and we
wish the people of Blyth and area
who missed this could have seen
some of the talent at least in a
photograph.
One of the more interesting
sights of the season was Jimmy
Lawrie in a kilt.
All the talent that was there
which included Black M agic, the
Goderich Concert Choir, Fred
James, also from Goderich who
played some Scottish music on his
fiddle, CarolWheeler from
Brussels who did some highland
dancing and who is competing in
the Canadian Figure Skating
Championships and Cliff Coultes
of Belgrave who gave some,

worth seeing.

Storm means work at home
By Rhea Hamilton] storm related news for the paper
Being storm stayed at home is goes but it is very personally
not worthwhile as far as finding rewarding. Working five days a
week does not leave very much
time for those many nagging little
jobs around the house thatiseemdto
Playing cards
Plans start for '78 match booth
"Think Plowing Match" was
the message conveyed at the first
public meeting of the Brussels
Morris and Grey Official booth
delegation. The committee heads
Carol and Alan Campbell, Jack
and Audrey Cardiff and Joe and
Kathleen Semple had prepared a
scale drawing of the kitchen that
will house the Official Catering
Tent. About 35 interested people
were present to discuss this
aspect of the booth plus
numerous other details such as
where to obtain stoves, utensils,
paper products, food and
workers. The chore of serving
4,000 full course meals is a big
one so a lot of planning is
required.
Each family of the area will be
contacted giving the committee
an idea of what each family is
capable of giving in time, produce
or food. After this initial contact,
reali stic plans can be drawn up
by the co-ordinators of the various
groups i.e. workers, advertising,
transportation.
The meeting was told that
while September may seem like
an eternity it is much easier to
make plans now than in theheati
of July. "By helping at the '78
Plowing Match we are giving
our area a terrific boost by
making the Official Catering
Booth a success and by adding
$10,000 to the Arena Fund. So
when the co-ordinator from your
area calls - help others and be
receptive.
This opportunity to cater the
Official Booth at the Plowing
Match, is our chance to show the
farming world that we are proud
to live in Huron and more than
that our Brussels Morris & Grey
area is the best"
,a spokesman said.
be put off so many nights when all
you want is something to eat and
a cozy spot to relax after a hard
day.
Thursday morning nay husband
and I made a valiant effort to get
to work but, by the time we got to
Clinton the winds had come up
and the visibility was slowly but
surely diminishing.
Once we got back home the
floors and sinks were cleaned and
a much needed housecleaning of
some pretty disorganized
cupboards was accomplished.
Amid all the bustling about
putting the house in a much
needed sense of order there were
a few minutes when I diverted
from my tasks and turned on the
"tube."
The one show 1 'dearly wanted
to see, besides Edge of Night,
was Take Thirty. The guest was a
doctor who has written
innumerable books on how our
diet can effect our health, in
particular the growth of cancer.
He pointed out that for women on
the birth control pill the danger of
cancer is greaterthan for
someone not on the same
medication.
The carcinogenic estrogen in
the pill can be broken down by
our livers if the proper diet is
maintained to enable the body to
be property equipped, the doctor
said.
For all of us who think they eat
the right foods, ,the "good
doctor" suggested brown rice
instead of white rice, liver, plenty
of eggs (he pooh poohed the high
!cholesterol theory about eggs
causing heart attacks), organ
meats, no sugar if possible
(natural sugar in fruits and
vegetables is sufficient for the
body to break down)and fatty
meats.
He says that after many studies
women' who have diets rich in B
and E vitamins and animal
products stand a better chance of
staying healthy and free of
cancer.
It may be worth our while to
investigate these possibilities
with our doctors before
embarking upon a stiff diet
recommended by a doctor on TV.
But the fact remains that there
are distinct possibilities that our
diet controls the causes of good or
ill health.

We had some disappointing
news here at the Standard,
Monday. La t week Debbie
Ranney of the IS tandard was very
busy getting some good shots at
the Robbie Burns Night featured
at the Blyth Memorial Hall.
Due to technical failure on part
of the camera (not the
photographer or the subjects) and
unknown factors the film did not
produce anything worth printing
in fact it produced a number of
blank spaces. We are sorry for the
trouble this causes. We are
sincerely trying to get things
fixed so that the failure will not be
repeated in the future,

Two recent surveys regarding Quebec inde-
pendence have revealed and confirmed some
startling facts about attitudes -- both Anglbphone
and Francophone -- in this still legally undivided
country. One survey, conducted by the Toronto Star
and Southam Press, indicates that support for
separation from Canada by Quebec is waning. The
other, by the Readers Digest, is less convincing.
Polls, being what they are, do not always provide the
definitive answer in questions that involve emotion
and deeply, held ideas.
But what does emerge from these very detailed
investigations and analysis of attitudes is that many
Canadians have deeply developed prejudices and
misconceptions about each other. Confusion and
distrust are common denominators while morale,,
especially in English-speaking Canada, is generally
Icw.
What disturbs is the depth of bigotry and the
arrogant attitude of a majority of Anglophone
Canadians that Quebec should stay in confederation
but on English terms. The survey makes it clear, as
well, that these same English Canadians are
prepared to sacrifice very little to keep Quebec in
Canada.
Our country, which only a few years ago was
billing itself a little piously as the Just Society is
emerging as a nation where people are condemned
and put down for the color of their skins (Pakistanis)
or for the language and culture they hold dear
(Quebecois).
The survey indicates that many Quebeckers are
dissatisfied with their lot under the existing
constitution, yet it points out so are many westerners
who wish to see greater provincial autonomy. As the
University of Toronto's leading literary critic, Prof,
Northrop Frye, told a recent unity conference, "The
flowering of regional cultures is to be welcomed
rather than resisted."
Surely we could all make the modest sacrifice
necessary to allow our sisters and brothers in Quebec
feel that they are equal under the constitution but
also equal in the eyes of all Canada as persons whose
unique and vibrant culture has much to offer the
whole country.Surely we could sacrifice a modicum
of our materialism and apathy and get to work to
force our political leaders to change our constitution
to accommodate diversity. Highly centralized
federalism may not be the only form of government.
But above all, we must sacrifice our prejudice.
That is what we are being asked to give up.
(The United Church)
To the editor:
Editorial not fact
The opinion expressed in your editorial on French as an official
language in Ontario (January 25) reflects the thinking of many
people in English Canada and also, in reverse, in Quebec.
It is that kind of thinking or'rather Un -thinking that has played
such a big part in the tearing dale fabric of Canada which is now
taking place,
if we don't look any further than our little Western Ontario
towns, the learning and use of the French language appears to
be meaningless. Once (laving learned French, there is no one to
speak to in that language, It assumes also that our children will
stay in Blyth or at least in an English speaking country.
The editor seems to forget that Ontario has a very large

labelling the "most intense storm oI' the
century„ (now clon't you feel left out). but \ve

us think. And .just to the south of us, in the
London area they were in a state of near panic.
Yet despite the fear that \\'a\ \vith many

warming stories that came out of the storm as
there have been after every storm in the past
few years.
In fact it leads me to wonder. how much
worse a place alight this he if it weren't for our
frequent storms, People lend to he pretty
wrapped 01) in their own problems these days,
not caring about other people around then).
It's a world where everyone seems to In'
grasping, griping all the time. It's every elan
for himself.
Yet in the midst of an emergency like a
storm, the best side of people seems to
re-emerge. It's mindful of the old time stories
of pioneers \where, if a man lost his barn in a
fire, the neighbours would gel together and
rebuild it for him.
The problem scenes to he that human
beings can't stand comfort. Wiwi) there is
danger all around, they work together for the
('001111(111 good but when everything is going
well, they bicker and fight with one another.
We serol to need to go hack to the old
situation of fighting to survive before we can
bring out the hest in humanity again. 'Thus
when we have a war or a famine we sec the
better side of human beings than when we
have prosperity.
Maybe if \\'c had more emergencies, \wed

Canadians, French speaking and English
speaking, easterner and westerner, native and
immigrant, storm stayed in one small part oI'
the country, I think a lot .of our present
problems alight be solved. People would be
faced then with a common enemy and they
would work together to survive and in doing so
would gain a greater understanding of and
respect for each other. Lacking that common
enemy, as we do now in Canada, we become
enemies of each other,
The effect of a threat to survival was
graphically shown a couple of weeks ago by
Alice Munro's script for The Newcomers
series on CBC television, Her Irish immigrant
cants from a highly structured society where
there were li\Vners and tealnants, lords and
peasants and never the gap between the two
was breached, But \vhcn he arrived in Canada.
(here ‘1 as the common ,job to be clone of
clearing the land, surviving the horribly cold .
winters, and scraping out a living front he
virgin soil. Suddenly, the immigrant noted in
his letters home to Ireland, the divisions that
had formerly divided them began to
evaporate. Oh things didn't completely
disappear. There was still enmity between the
Orange and Catholic Irish and other petty
enmities but the whole class system that had
been so evident in the homeland ,quickly
disappeared in North America.
Probably one of the things that has kept
Canada from being a truly united country as
501ne swell as the U.S. have been is not No
Iliueli Illi' fact that \1'e halve a small population
and huge distance assome would point out, or
that we have two official languages and .still
keep mangy' others in various parts or the
country, hue that We have been a peaceful
nation. We have faced few crisis in our
history. Once the pioneers survived the
arduous years of settlement, they settled hack
to a relatively comfortable and enjoyable life,
That life was only, jarred hj such huge events
as the two world wars where people felt they
must work together. Even these, however, did
not seem a Teal threat to survival to .5(1111e
people, particularly Quebec residents -Who
saw it as a far off war in Europe, not a
Canadian war, II' the Germans had been
invading Canada \ve Might really have seen a
uniting factor in the country but a European
war seemed a flu' off, unreal threat to some
111(1 thus proved divisive rather than some-
thing to make all Canadians pull together.
By comparison, ever since the I3 colonies

one part nl' the country against another in a
bloody -war, 'I'I1e feeling oI' unity that this
sense of 1'1111111100 danger has brought cannot
be discounted in watching the way the two
north American 11ati005 have taken different
baths.
The present crisis in Canada alight have
been easily solved by our leadership in
another country at another time, They would
simply have engineered, a wa1' that seemed a
very just cause to fight, The fervour of the
crisis would have quickly made us forget our
petty bickerings within the country and pull
together to survive,
Canada has, of co11l'se, never been very
warlike and this is not an age where wars are
conveniently begun and stopped as i11 the
past, So we're left only with natural dangers
and lately the powers scene, to be doing
their best t0 I)I'(1Vide enough of these t0 ivake

To the editor:
Retarded need help
In the past , reporters of our local paper have done an excellent
job in reporting activities in the schools, classes and workshop of
the mentally handicapped, We, the Board of the Wingham and
District Association for the Mentally Retarded, and also the
teachers are very happy and pleased to see the local paper
coming out in such a positive way to give the public a glimpse at
what we are doing.
In past years, the government has paid the bulk of our
operating costs. But we rely still heavily on our local people who
have their hearts in the right place. We, the Board of our
A.M.R. meet every month and make available some of our time
to serve the A.M.R., and the mentally handicapped, We are
responsible for raising 13% of the total cost for the Silver Circle
Nursery, and by September we have to come up with 20% of the
total cost for the operation of the Jack Reavie Opportunity
Workshop, The money needed is between $12,000 and $15,000 ,
which has to come from donations and fund-raising projects.
We have to go into a workshop program or close clown. The
A.M.R. Board has decided to go ahead with the program, but we
cannot survive without the help of the public. We need about
$10,000 over and above the government grant for the first year,
(That is the 20'/x) But most important, we need work for the
mentally handicapped adults to do in the worshop. We have a
high calibre of teachers. Our workshops across Ontario in many
cases are self-sufficient. in other words, they do not need any
public funding. We can achieve this in Wingham also. Perhaps
you have, or know someone who has work which can be clone by
our people. Please let us know. 111 the meantime, we would like
you to give generous financial support, Y can give Bill
Stephenson, our untiring, hardworking fund-raising chairman a
call, or drop your donation in Box 726, Wingham.
If anyone is interested, I would like to organize a trip to the
South Huron Workshop at Dashwood. We are invited to tour
their very successful workshop there, This would be quite an
eye-opener for n1'any', as. to -the ability Of our mentally
handicapped.
Also, if you would like to become 0 member of our association,
please chop Mrs. Pat Holloway, Luck now, a line. If you have
some time t0 spare, let me know. We need a few more members
on the Board. In closing, I' Would like to pass the following
revelation:
•
"Happiness is a side effect. The more you give yourself, the
more you become fulfilled."
For all those who have supported us in the past. thank you
very much, God bless vou, and I love you for it.

To the editor
(Continued from Page 4)
Francophone population and declaring French an official
language would not cost big bucks as the editorial asserts. In our
multibillion dollar budget it could probably be done with existing
personnel and only add the cost .of paper and printing. The
assertion that business would have to make packaging changes
and would have to add bi-lingual staff is nonsense and the
teaching of Ftench in the schools would still be up to the school
boards and 'through them up to the electorate.
The editorial is, a prime example of bad journalism, The facts
are not checked and opinions are presented as facts.
When will we, here in Canada, shed our provincialism and
look on our two national languages as an asset instead of a
liability? The trading nations in the world have long recognized
the value of multi -lingua isnl in the schools. -Most begin by
teaching the children English, French, yes French, and German
in the public schools. When they leave highschool most can read
and write it. It helps them to find jobs in the offices of the trading
houses and it broadens their view on the thinking of different
cultures. 11' our bigots, both Franco and Anglophone, had taken
the trouble to learn one another's language, we would now not
be in danger of losing 1Iie basic part of our country,
If'there is fuel added to the fires of separation, it is not because
of a discussion of a proposed language law, but because of the
sort of editorials as in last %%Peek's Blyth Standard.

home -like places, and there are
now some fifty of these, one being
at Richmond Hill. The main
purpose is best described thus
"the community for me" to "me
for the community."

period, The financial report was
given by the treasurer Mrs,

service will be held on March 3 in

The Ministry of Transportation
and Communications reminds
motorists that the amount of
property damage in a reportable
motor vehicle accident has been
raised from $200 to $400,
effective Jan, 1, 1978,
This amount reflects more
realistically the continually
increasing costs for parts and
labour to repair motor vehicles
involved in accidents,
Motorsits arc further reminded
that if they are driving a motor
vehicle or moped and involved in
an accident which results in
personal injury or damage to
property apparently exceeding
$400 , they must report the

exchange program of 25 to 30 club
members in July and August and
an inter -provincial 4-1-I exchange
with the province of Quebec when
it is hoped to send 3 to 5 members
to Cap -de -la -Madeline during

activities, William Elston of the
traffic committee for the match
said he was on the Huron County
Council Development committee
and works with agriculture in the

lot bigger than any of us thought
it was. We are going to need lots
of help to get all. the loose ends
tied together."
The club leaders' association is
to have a float for the daily parade
and will have a booth on the
grounds, while the Youth Council
will be putting in a display at the
site as well. For the club leaders'

vice-presidents and the secretary -
treasurer were named to look
after it and get the necessary help
from the 4-H members and other
leaders,
One member questioned 4-H
members being able to help
because of school and it was
decided to work with the Board of
Education to determine what time

Len McGregor, Extension
Assistant, Ministry of Agriculture
and Food, reported that Huron
County in 1977 had 30-4-H clubs
with 400 members taking
approximately 550 projects under
70 leaders. He said with the
second highest membership in
the province Huron members had
a completion rate of 90 per cent.
There were 41 pre 4-11 members
in Huron last year and this
program is working and going
over well.
Speaking of the highlights of
1977 he said the celebration of the
25th anniversary of the club
leaders' association in Huron was
a successful event marked by a
reunion, banquet and dance in
Blyth on July 23 with over 500
attending.
Another big event was the
regional 4-H leadership
conference at Centralia College
on August 16, 17 and 18 attended
by about. 100 4-H club members
from Peth, Bruce and Huron
counties,
He said there were exchange
programs with 4-H members from
Ohio; members attending the
provincial 4-H leadership week at
the University of Guelph in June;
permitted. Mr. Elston said he
understood there were to be two
professional development clays
that week.
United Co-operative of Ontario
will provide a trophy in 1978 fol
the highest score in judging at th(
4-1-1 Awards Night to replace th,
Blatchford Feed trophy.
Long discussions were held on
determining the requirements for
4-11 completion of projects and on
.judging the members' calves,
rabbits so that judging was
even and consistent from, club to
club across the county.
Because of Brucellosis
problems across Ontario all calves
over six months of age and under
18 months must be tested, IVII'.
McGregor advised, except steers
and vaccinated heifers, before
they can be exhibited at fairs.
Before they may be unloaded at
the fairgrounds each exhibitor
must produce a government
certificate indicating that the
animal has been tested for
Brucellosis within 30 days of
exhibiting and no time less than
six days.
He said some lair boards will
demand that horses have a
Coggins 'fest before appearing at
a fair.
Various dates and methods for
showmanship clinics, demonstra-
tions and exam nights were
discussed, The 4-H Awards Night
will be held either December 3 or
10 which ever date avoids conflict
with school commencement
nights ancl this will be worked out
with the principals in the county.
It was noted Seaforth Fall Fait'
will be held September 2I and 22.
Mr. Van Dyken in accepting his
role as president spoke of the
important job the 4-H leaders
have in leading the young people
in the right direction to prepare
them for the duties they will have
in the future.
Huron Warden Gerry Ginn in
his after dinner remarks said
;agriculture is Huron's largest
industry but the young people are
its Ilt'itlle resource.

Reporter stuck in storm
(Continued from Page 1)
even know the man's name, I only
know his licence plate said
"Friendly Manitoba"' and I'll
believe that sign from now on
which is exactly what 1 told hint,
When we got to Clinton, 1
thanked the kind stranger as he
' was taking leave of me and he
asked me if my car would be
alright. I assured him it would but
as he drove away I heard my car
dying a slow death. 1 turned the
key, knowing full well it was a
futile effort, It was.
Glancing across the road, I
noticed that I was parked right
across from a garage but I
thought the first thing 1 should do
was phone my mother whom 1
knew would be worried about me,
and I knew she would be even,
more worried about- Inc when she
found out where 1 was.
This same mother had just told
me that very morning that 1 must
have had rocks in my head to
drive to Scaforth from Blyth,
although I couldn't sec any
reason not to do that either since
it had been clear when I left there
too.
"Clinton?"my mother said (or
should that be screamed) when
told her where 1 was,
"You drove in a snowstorm!"
she continued before 1 could even
get a word in..
it took great effort to explain to
her that when 1 had left Scatorth
the weather was clear and that my
main problems had involved the
car -- not the weather.
told her that i was now going
to spend the night in Clinton (she
was greatly relieved to hear that)
and informed nie to call her as
soon as I found a place to stay.
The garage I made the phone
call from was about to close up for
the evening so I couldn't drag my
poor car in there. I decided 1
would have to leave it where it
was for - the time being and
inquired of the garage attendant
where i might find a hotel or
motel for the evening.
Right Behind
He said there was a hotel right
behind his garage through the
alleyway so I made my way to the
Clinton Hotel and asked about a
room for the evening. 1 was lucky
thcv still had one as the rooms
were beginning to fill up pretty
fast
• They were very helpful at the
hotel and John the bar -attendant
even helped me find a garage that
would take my car in for the
evening and get it running for me
again in the morning.
1 had just ordered my supper at
the hotel when the men from the
garage arrived. 1 went with them
to get my car and we had just
made it through the green light
when my car stopped in the
middle of the intersection. Luckily
the men from the garage had
brought the tow truck 'and they
towed my car the rest of the way.
The garage men drove me back
to the hotel where I ate my
supper, and then went to my
room where 1 restlessly flicked
channels on the colour TV se. t,
Then 1 went out to a variety
store and bought four romances
and a crossword puzzle book,
They kept me from going insane
for a little while but how time
does drag when you're
stormstayed: .
While at the hotel I made the
acquaintance of a couple who had
been on their way back to
goderich, a salesman on his way
to Owen Sound and a few other
people whose destinations I can't
recall,
Friday morning, things didn't
look very hopeful, I was informed
that the road to Blyth through
Londesboro was closed so 1
wasn't going anywhere. The
couple from Goderich decided
they were staying too but the
salesman from Owen Sound went
on his way and made it,
1 opted for my hotel room and
spent the morning flicking from
soap opera to soap opera with
those titles that sound so much
the same -- One Life to Live, Love
of Live, Search for Tomorrow, All
My Children and in the afternoon
Another World, which seemed
like an appropriate title for the
situation I was in.
Ma Bell
Ma Bell must love me and my
niom since I made about eight
collect calls to her during my stay
at the hotel and they weren't
short calls either.
On Friday morning I had told
my mother that if they got the
road cleared to Blyth and the
weather was clear I was going to
leave. From what I understood I
was to call her when 1 got to
Blyth , otherwise she would
presume I was still in the hotel.
Unfortuntely my mother didn't
understand what I thought 1
understood from her.
1 was about to go down and call
her when i was informed that
there was a call for mc. It was
from a friend of my parents who
lives in Clinton,
"Your mother doesn't want you
to know she's worried, but she's
worried," the friend said.
So 1 phoned niy mother who
told me she had been wa iting for
my call for a long time. 1 then told
her that 1 thought she only meant
for me to call if I got to Blyth.
One thing I have to say is that if
1 had to be stormstayed, the Hotel
Clinton was a nice place to stay.
The room was nice, the people
friendly and the service terrific,
but if I have to go there again I
hope it'll be on a vacation and not
because my car doesn't work and
it's storming outside.
Now that I'm at the end of this
tale of woe I was thinking that a
good headline for it might be
Comedy of Errors - or something
along a similar vein. ----.

10 --THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 1,J1978
From the Minister's Study
By Rev. Earl St. Jean
Religious language is very
often lacking in freshness and
blunt, overworked words have a
ncglible effect or impact, 'God' is
perhaps the most blunted word of
all used in religious thought. To
begin with 'God' is a noun. The
impact intended is that of a verb;
a working, action -packed and
effective force or energy. Have
you not heard time and again;
God is 1 ove? Loving is a verb
really. A fence post doesn't love
but a dog can by actions. Why
then should a verb be defined by
a noun? Loving is the only
purpose or intention of God so to
love is the impact of God.
Francis Thompson a century
ago wrote a poem, The Hound of
Love in pursuit
Heaven, and he used Psalm 139
as the .theme, He put the psalm
into his own experience and that
in the last century England. He
goes even deeper than the
psalmist and makes far more
sense out of it once you know he is
speaking out of his very own
experience and is not aping the
psalmist. Loving engulfs us and is
inescapable. Thompson pictures
himself fleeing God's love and
knowing he is always pursued.
The chase has almost. a Holly-
wood suspense and then going
back to psalm 139 one fairly has
the words jumping right off the
page.
The thought which is so
hauntingly depicted is that of an
energetic creative power abroad
PRESCOTT - PHILLIPS
Rev. Lewis Snow performed the ceremony at Charing Cross
United Church uniting in marriage Betty Ann Philips and Vern
Prescott. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jules Philips
of R.R.6, Chatham and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Prescott of Belgrave. The couple have taken up

in the world and inescapable.
This is no noun, If you set an
object clown it cannot pursue or
act in any way, The eternal
pursuer, searcher, mentor is an
energy, a force and 0 positive
activity we call love. This hard-
working, active, creative power
knows no rest or off-duty horn's,
This means so much more than an
object that can be mislaid or
discarded. isn't that the fate of
God -noun?
The sane thought opens up the
possibility that the unity of
nature's forces are at work long
before we realize they exist
really, The heart-beat, the lungs
rhythmic inhaling and exhaling,
the pulsing bloodstream carries
on its various tasks without our
will or our command. Hence most
blessings arc ours not for the
desiring but as part of our selves.
What then makes us realize our
very being?
All love and goodness
originates before and .beyond
ourselves. 111 his short poem, 111
Flander's Fields, John McCrae
appeals t0 the successors to the
men who laid down their lives
with the argument; we saw sunset
glow...as the very meaning of
life. Can a man sum up life as the
cappreciation of sunset and
sunrise? How dull our soul must
be if a thousand sunsets can
hardly stir within us a hymn of
thanks, it is love expressed in a
spectacular sunset which he is
speaking of and .it is a verb
beyond and greater than oneself.
Every identity crisis conies
some time before we make sense
of objects which are managed by
our whim or will. It comes atsome
point bcforc we understand all
the forces which converge to
confer on us all of the ,joy. and
human delight we know. The
sheer magnitude of what is joy
but outside of our initiative
should overwhelm us. We cease o
ask; who am 1? We joy in what we
cannot begin to cause or create.
We surrender to pursuing love.
Psalm 139 spells out a strong
pulsating heartbeat in a dull,
blunted 1101111.

and known me!" ps. 139

OAC says
snowmobiles
nuisance
Snowmobiles may have hccomc
popular recreational vehicles, but
for Ontario Partners they have
become a nuisance, says It. W.
Irwin of the School of Engineer-
ing, Ontario Agricultural College,
Guelph.
Because their tracks reduce
the yield and quality of crops,
snowmobiles should not bc-
operated on crop land.
Professor Irwin says that vast
open fields of snow invite
invasion of private properly,
frequently without the permission
of the farmer. But few people
know that snowmobiles affect the
life of the crop. hoe example, if
alfalfa is smothered in the first
winter after planting, the yield is
decreased on 11181 field as long as
the stand rcmainds (3 years ).
in some cases, snowmobiles
crossing fields fracture and break
frozen leaves of hay, pasture
plants, and Pall whcalop(:hting the
possibility of disease invasion.
Snowmobile tracks also compact
the snow, increasing the density
of the packed snow and
destroying its insulating vain°.
A depth of snow prevents the
deep penetration of frost, says
Professor Irwin. The increase((,
density and increase in reallive
water content encourages frost
penetration.

clhecEnergy8avers
by Richard Charles 2
Like a house on fire
You may have seen those pictures that show heat as if it
were light. This is called infra -red photography, and with it
you can see the heat escaping from homes in cold weather.
A house or a whole town filmed from the air will often
look as though it were going up in flames. That's how had
the heat losses usually are.
As individuals, few of us can afford to throw money
away on heavy fuel bills. As a nation, we can't afford to use
precious energy resources to warm up the sky and the snow
piles around our homes. Thorough insulation can cut the
year's healing hill by as much as half, and similarly save
resources that produce the heat. The size of these savings
will depend, of course, on how much you can improve your
insulation.
That's not all, Better insulation makes a home more
comfortable. You can feel a difference (as much as 4° to
8°C) between sitting beside an exterior wall that is well
insulated and one that is not. Turning up the thermostat
will not make up the difference; in fact, it makes things
worse by increasing the temperature differential between
the cold wall and warm central air. This increases the speed
of the convection currents which feel like drafts.
Two handy terms to know in discussing insulation are
"heat flow" and "resistance value". Heat flows by conduc-
tion (as you soon find when holding a hot potato), by
convection (as with warns air rising) and by radiation (as
with the sun's warmth). All three kinds of heat flow have
their uses, but they also rob us of heat unless there's
insulation.
Resistance value (R) is an insulating material's ability to
keep the heat from flowing through it. The thickest insula-
tion may not be the best; it's the kind of material that
counts. The R value is stamped on the cover of most
packaged insulation material - if not, ask the dealer. As an
example, a six-inch layer of a good insulator like glass fibre
has an R value of 20, but the same thickness of gypsum
board scores only R4.
The minimum recommended R values for insulation in
various parts of the home are: ceilings 28, walls 12, base-
ment walls (less than half exposed) 8, basement walls (fully
exposed) 12, floors (over unheated garage or crawl space or
overhang) 20, floors (over unheated basement) 8 to 12.
The first step toward cutting heat losses from your home
is to check the fit of doors and windows, where the walls
meet the foundation, and the present insulation in the ceil-
mings (attic), walls, basements and floors. You can get an
insulation expert to do this, or try it yourself along the
lines suggested by the Office of Energy Conservation, De-
partment of Energy Mines and Resources in a booklet
called Keeping the heat in. This is available from Box 3500,
Station C, Ottawa, Ontario, K 1 Y 4G1,
On the face of it, the least protected areas of a home call
for attention first, but other things for you to consider are
whether the work will be easy and relatively inexpensive,
time-consuming and moderately expensive, or somewhat
difficult and more expensive. The time of year is another
factor.
The amount of insulation you can add to your home
May depend on the way it is built - some houses cannot be
improved beyond a certain level. There are many ways to
insulate, and some that even your local expert may not be
familiar with. You can find out about the alternatives and a
lot more in Keeping the heat in.
One final word. Don't be put off if insulation sounds
like a big and complicated deal to you. There are lots of
little things you can do yourself to save fuel and make your
home more comfortable in winter. And even some of the
larger jobs are not all that tough. Whatever you can invest
in insulation is bound to repay you.

TO THE EDGE OF MORNING
By James Jackson
Kraemer is at the controls when
it hit suddenly, almost twisting
the wheel from itis hands as the
aircraft tipped. In spite of all they
could do the altimeter wound
crazily down past four hundred
feet, dipped to three hundred,
and on downward --two hundred,
one hundred ' and eighty. it
seemed that the blind infinite
night of the ocean clawed up at
them and he could think of
nothing that would help. Janes
Jackson is a story -teller that
makes his characters and story
very real and vivid.
HAPPY ENDING
By Elizabeth Savage
Happy Enging, is an honest
story about good people on a
windswept cattle ranch in
Montana in the "Dirty Thirties".
Thomas and Carrie Russell had
grown old together on the ranch
and they realized they might soon
be forced to leave the hone they
loved. They are given a brief
renewal of hope when Bud, a
young hired hang conies along.
Shortly after Maryalyse Tyler is
hired to help their tyrannical
cook, Thelma and it is the story of
these people.
JADY AND THE GENERAL
By Lyn Cook
John \David 1Farriday (Jady for
short) lived on a Niagara peach
farm. Like most boys he was
interested in the neighbourhood
here, Woody, school, local 4-H
etc. Then he met "Red" Brennan
and went to visit him in Vermont.
But above all, Jady dreamed of
Lwning his own horse. This book
tells how that dream came true
and how Jady and General went
on to compete at the Royal Winter

later owned by Jim Nicholson who
owned the Queen's Hotel in
Blyth, which was where Norman
Gowing's Sunoco station is now.
Billy Mason bought both the
hotel and the house from Jim
