GONE SOUTH There are many novel scenes around Blyth especially when the sun shines. The birds that reside in these little homes have gone south and yet look cozy enough for winter occupancy. (Standard Photo) Diviners back at Board meeting The Diviners is back haunting trustees of the Huron County Board of Education. The board learned Monday that several complaints over the Canadian novel by Margaret Laurence have been made by parents of senior students in the Huron County system. Clinton trustee Dorothy Wallace asked the board when trustees would have an opportunity to decide if the novel is acceptable for English literature instruction in county secondary schools. She said she had received a complaint from a parent who found the book stuffed under her child's mattress along with copies of Penthouse and Playboy. Education director John Cochrane told the board that he had received similar complaints about novels being used in English programs. He said the controversy last summer about the novels used in classes was 'still a topic of concern to some parents. Mr Cochrane said the novel is a board approved book for use in senior secondary school English classes. Superintendent of education Jim Coulter told the board that the novel had been approved by Courses in Auburn? The Conestoga College of Applied Arts and Technology has announced that the following courses could be held in Auburn if enough persons are interested in any of the topics for study; Money Matters; Couple Communications Interpersonal Communications; Sexuality and Parenting and; Personal Budgeting. If you are interested please call Mrs, George Hebert 526.7576 or Mrs. Ian Clark 526-7592 by February 11. the board in August and that the board would get an opportunity to review the situation this summer. He said a list of instructional books will be brought to the board in August of 1978 for approval for use in the new school year. Mrs. Williams said the student who had the book hidden under the mattress was a grade 12 male. She said she advised the parent to take the matter to the director of education and was mereley brining the matter to the board to find out when and how the board could act on the subject of novels opposed by parents. Council decides 110 To buy new plow A new snow plow is to be bought for the village, Blyth council decided Monday night. The present unit is worn out and the last repair bill amounted to $1,000. The new plow is a trade-in model from Huron county. Councillor Albert Wasson inspected the plow and reported back to council on its conditon. "it is a larger unit, more modern (1973 Chev) and the engine has been replacedwithin the last year as 'well as the transmission," he said. • CouncillorWasson talked with the mechanic, Jim Glousher, Auburn who has dont mainten- ance on the unit, and Mr. Underwood •who drives the unit now for the county. Both men recommend the vehicle and reported they have had no trouble with it, The !new unit will not be in operation this year but will be ready for next winter. The heritage, secondary and downtown studies of Blyth planned for this year have been deferred until 1979 due to cutbacks in the Huron County planning department in Goderich. Council recieived notification from Gary Davdison head of the county Planning department that although the Heritage study was 85 percent done the whole project had been shelved. Council was disappointed and will look into the natter more fully. The Huron County Housing Authority notified council concerning residency of the housing unit near completion in Assessment change 'sensitive' MPP The Ontario Federation of Agriculture proposal that farriers be exempt from paying property taxes on most of their land and buildings is a 'politically sensitive subject" said MPP Jack Riddell Saturday. Support for the OFA taxation stand was received from the Huron F of A Saturday when a series of briefs were presented to MPP Jack Riddell, Liberal, Huron Middlesex, and MPP Murray Gaunt, Liberal, Huron Bruce. The tax brief presses for a definite guarantee that market value for assessment purposes is base on productivity capabilities of the property, and asks that the province make this exemption permanent through legislation. Farmers would pay taxes on only their homes and surroudning land and all other land would be exempt from taxation, the OFA proposes. The municipalities would receive grants from the government in lieu of the taxes that would be received from the taxation of the farm land. Under the present property tax system farmers pay taxes on all land and buildings including their homes and apply for 50 percent rebates from the province, Pupils win honours In recent examinations held in Blyth by the Royal Conservatory of Music the following students were successful: Grade 3 Harmony, Honours -Linda Mackenzie; Grade 2 Rudiments, First Class Honours -Nancy Man nes, Honours -Alison Roberts, The above are students of Mrs. Wionna McDougall and Shirley E.

The people there were helpful and very deeply concerned, Local consumers could make an effort to take in a few of these meetings. Maybe even a few more farmers could show more of themselves. The resolutions showed a knowledgeable awareness of the many pitfalls that face farmers daily. Even the coupons that are offered for grocery stores discounts on products were ,suggested as detrimental to farmers. This point was brought to the federation's attention by the Middlesex F of A, But Huron people felt that coupons moved surpluses of produce and if one draws the line on this advertising gimmick where will the line be drawn on other advertising. The F of A also resolves that the cost of domestic foods be reported separately from imports in the Consumer Price Index, to face, If it were not 'for our 3.5 pounds.

Registration Number 1319 A good council A good council is never appreciated until it is long voted out of office and then it is too late to consider the value of having concerned elected officials. Blyth council has been noted for its concise and sure manner in handling the many problems facing municipalities. What with the rise of the costs of materials, repairs and renovations that are the responsibility of any municipality it pays to have councillors who have the common sense to shop around and get the best deal possible for the taxpayers' dollars. Blyth council is also responsible in informing the public via the local press what is going on. In too many areas bungling or misguided officials leave their constituents in the dark in order to have their own mistakes and problems left' unnoticed. The press, who represent the people, is given the run around and distortions come to Tight too late and mistakes are common. Anyone who has questions concerning the operation of the village's funds will find clerk treasurer Larry Walsh is always willing to help and guide questions into proper channels so that answers come speedily and without reservation from Blyth council. Since the hiring of a full time clerk for Blyth, many grants have been applied for and received due to the insight and knowledge of the people involved. In some towns the elected officials give themselves a raise every time the opportunity arises. Is that the case in Blyth'? Certainly not. The officials are sensible and are taxpayers as well as you and I. There are many things to be thankful for in the concillors we have elected. Maybe some consideration for the jobs they do would be in order. Maybe' even a little appreciation as well. To the editor: Call weather office The winter winds and snows are upon us, creating, as in the past, very' difficult decisions for many people. "Should 1 go to work?" is perhaps the most frequently asked question for commuting workers. "Can you tell me how the roads are to Toronto, I'm going anyway because I have to, but 1 was wondering ..." "Is this weather supposed to continue or will I be able to go hone or to work tomorrow?" Telephone calls such as these are very common to us at the Ontario Provincial Police Detachments on stormy days. In fact these calls during bad weather arc so numerous that people who have legitimate emergencies at times cannot get our telephone line and advise us of the help they require. As well informed as we like to think we are as a police agency, we do not have the information you require as to weather reports and road conditions. in fact only prayer could answer some of the questions asked. We do have a pretty fair solution to your problem and possibly, if you►'ethe travelling type person, you should cut these telephone numbers out of yotn• newspaper and put them near your phone, Weather Station - Goderich 524-9331 Ministry of Transportation & Communi- cations, Stratford for road conditions in Ontario.... 271-3550 R.W.Wilson /13629 Provincial Constable Saving gas Volunteers or suckers? There is an axiom that old veterans tell young recruits in the army: never volunteer for anything. The same thing night apply to newcomers in any. community. As anyone who has lived in a small town knows, the grapevine is the fastest way of transmitting any piece of news and the grapevine will quickly make it known when a new resident in a town volunteers for even one thing. The word night as well be branded on his or her forehead: "volunteer", or more likely "sucker". There are those who like to claim that a small clique in any town hog' the spotlight that they want to run anything that's going. I think that can be disproven by the rapidity with which they're willing to pass on some of those duties whenever a new sucker, I mean volunteer, comes along, i speak from experience in this. When I moved to niy new hometown some six years ago, I seemed to be quickly spotted as a sucker, 1 mean volunteer. My job as a newspaper reporter took me to a good many of the community events where a new face was looked on as a chance to put off some of the heavy workload already burdening the shoulders of the group running that particular organization. The first group to grab was the local fair board. They were the most desperate for helping hands so I guess they were the most likely to take a chance on a new boy in town. They asked my opinion on some subject at a meeting one night, I gave it and the next thing I knew they'd made me a director of the fair. My success can perhaps be measured by the fact that was the last fall fair ever held by the group. That didn't. seem to scare off the other groups however. I had become a member of the local business organization and with my propensity for shooting off my big mouth on various subjects, had come to the attention of the other members, Toward the end of my first year in town there was an election of officers for the group. Within minutes I jumped from being the new kid. in town to being the president of the group. It was obvious that the old "clique" really were working hard to hold onto their power. And so it went. •After a year of that, there was another organization that was ready to promote me to the top job, the job nobody else was silly enough to want,. A year later, before the term was even finished for that group, I founds myself in the top job of yet another group, a new one just starting up. It was about then that 1 learned the single, most important word for anyone getting involved in community activities: no, I mean this cli. que that ran the town was so hungry for power that they were ready to promote any sucker that came along to the top of their organization unless he said no. The problem was that it was a small town and there were only so many new suckers, 1 mean faces, in town that 1 kept getting all the jobs that nobody else wanted. My fault was that 1 hadn't learner' the rules. People in small towns, you see, always like to see things done as long as they don't have to do the work. Thus you'd go to a meeting of this or that organization and hear plenty of people expressing marvellous ideas for things that should be done but when it came time for someone to actually do the work therewas a chorus of "no, i'nm too busy from everyone asked to help out. Naive as 1 was, I got so tired of hearing good ideas go down the drain that when 1 was aksed if I'd help out I'd say something utterly silly like "Well I'll see what I can do" upon which everyone breathed a sigh of relief knowing that they themselves weren't gong to get backed its a corner and forced to ta,.: the job. The other th 'g I learned over the years was that once you volunteer to do something or at least you hadn't said no when you were volunteered, you immediately got a mumbled chorus of "Oh I'll be glad to help you out if you need a hand, " from most of those in the room. When it came to draw on that help, however, it was not unusual to call on 10 different people before being able to find two who remembered they made such a promise in the first place or who couldn't think up an excuse why they couldn't help out now. I learned what many another volunteer has ' learned before: it's easier to do the job yourself than to try to round up volunteers to help out, After a couple of years of this, the sucker is obviously going to get worn to a frazzle and it comes necessary to find a new sucker to keep the group alive. The problem is that suckers don't come along everyday, the majority of the population being ever ready with their "I just have the time to be pre ,sent " excuses. That is why there is so much trouble keeping community groups alive and active because for so long a there handful of people are left with all the work while the majority of people say they're too busy, then sit around and complain about how a few people run everything. Mostly that few people just run themselves into the ground. Yet it's amazing how resilient these suckers, I mean volunteers are. I know a few people well into retirement age who still apparently haven't learned their lesson on how to say no and sound convincing, They are still community leaders, who work hard, long hours making things happen in their community. I don't know whether they should be recommended for a medal, or for priority admission to a psychiatric hospital. 0 BRIEFS PRESENTED — Local MPPs received briefs prepared by The Huron Federation of Agriculture Saturday in Clinton. On hand were Allan Walper, president of Huron F. of A., Murray Gaunt, Liberal MPP for Huron Bruce and Merle i Gunby 1st vice president of the Huron F. of A. The briefs covered topics ranging from property tax reform , and consumerism to commodity groups and reform. (Sentinel Photo .) Huron F of A Will boycott conference The upcoming National Food Conference is to be boycottecL by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture it was decided Thursday night at the Federation's monthly meeting. The conference is sponsored by the federal government (consumer division). The Federation of Agriculture is clisatisfic(1 with the poor representation of agriculture community and s the food conference is planning for future reserves of food yet only a token 10 percent of the input is agriculturaly oriented. The Canadian F of A is sending a report to the conference and is also planning' a conference of their own in Ottawa on the same day in order to protest their disatisfaction with the national Food Conference. Ex OFA President Gordon Hill will be speaking to as many farmers who make it to the conference. Peter Hannam, Ontario president of F of A will also make a presentation. Of the 400 invitations sent out to the conference only 41 were agriculturally oriented. "The Federation sees the government as not being concerned about forming a good policy and the farmers are being ignored" said HFA past president Adrian Vos. The 35 members at the meeting were called upon to support the boycotting by going to Ottawa on the February 22 for the F of A conference: Merle Gunby and Maurice Bean weredesignated to organize a delegation. A' one day workshop is being sponsored by Conestoga College to aid F of A members in effective letter writing, On March 31 Karl Schuessler will be heading the seminar and anyone interested is to contact Bev Brown. Lunch and supplies are required as well as an advance sample -of a letter that you have written in order to have a more effective learning session. The Huron Federation rejected a Middlesex F. of A. proposal for members to pressure for the abolition of coupon promotions, They claim advertising gimmicks are costly and constitute an unjust and unnecessary expense which broadens the gap between consumers and farmers. Huron people felt that those gimmicks move products, especially when there is an over production. John Hazlitt, grain committee man, approached the meeting to encourage the farmers to get their corn proposals signed so that a vote can be called for in March. '11 is important to get something in order about a marketing organization" Mr.' Hazlitt emphasized. Members passed a resolution that a weighing factor be used in the calculation of the Consumer Price Index. It is assumed that Canadians spend 27% of their income on food purchases but in reality the figures vary from 13.8% (Organization for Economic and Co-operative development) , to 16% (Noel McNaughton, Agrologist, University of Alberta). This distoration leads to inflation, the resolution said. The F of A resolved that domestic and imported foods be reported separately in the Consumer Price Index. Too often the high cost of imported goods force up the consumer price index beyond what is in demand, it said. Members decided to form a roster of speakers to be provided with proper training for public speaking, and media interviews on consumer concerns.

Little Chrisy Palmer of R.R.4, Ripley spent a few days last week A message about those who think they can cheat Ul: "I t caught withmyhandlin your pocket:' What a shame. He thought it was some sort of a game to claim a little more Unemploy- ment Insurance than the law allowed. Now he's in trouble. He didn't report earnings and work while • getting UI. "I mean, it was only a few bucks. You've got millions:' We don't have any money. It all belongs to the people of Canada. And when you deliberately claim more than you're allowed by law, you're stealing from your neighbours, friends, fellow, employees, employers and the Government of Canada. It's our job to pay UI benefits fairly, efficiently and according to law. It's also our job to make sure the pro- gram is not abused by those who have little concern for their fellow citizens or the law of the land. Getting UI when you're not available for work is abuse, pure and simple. "Lots of people rip off UI. Why are you picking on me, and how'd you find out?" Not so fast. The vast majority of our claimants with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs, Albert Cook. Books must be back by Saturday All books which have been taken out of the Belgrave Library must be brought back by Saturlday February 11, as there is going to be a book exchange. PEN N R ►7 U ON 8 ns September 26 - 30, 1978 are completely honest. They use UI as it was intended—as a financial bridge between jobs. And no one's picking on you. Anyone we find abusing Unemploy- ment Insurance will be dealt with under the law, If you're caught, money improper- ly claimed must be paid back in full. It could mean you pay an administrative penalty. Or you could face prosecution under the Unemployment Insurance Act, or the Criminal Code of Canada. Conviction means a criminal record. UI employs almost 500 full-time trained claims investigators and, like any modern organization, we use new data-handling techniques to their best advantage. We match up Records of Employment with claim records to find the cheaters who don't report earnings while they're on UI. We don't like to prosecute. We'd rather avoid that painful process by telling people that if they cheat, they'll probably be caught. "I never really believed it was criminal:' Some people's attitudes toward Unemployment Insurance have been hard to explain. People who would never consider shoplifting or outright robbery have been willing to hide earnings from us to get more UI benefits than the law ' allows. Almost as if it were socially acceptable or even fun. Everyone knows this goes on. No one knows better than we do. Suppose you lose your job. If you've been paying into Unemploy- ment Insurance and you qualify, you have a right to benefits. And we will respect that right as long as you remember your obligations, too. Your obligation is to play it straight with us. And as long as you do that, we're proud to help you.

BERT SHOBBROOK Play cards at WI pasty The W.I. card party was held on Friday night.

This means not only that valuable resources are disappear- ing faster than need be, but a lot of people are robbing themselves through paying for fuel that did them no good. You can go a long way toward plugging the leak if you take a few moments to fin4I out how your heating system works, and take a little trouble to see that it has proper care and maintenance. Here's a brief introduction to the subject. Most oil furnaces work by shooting oil droplets from a nozzle and burning them in air. When things are going properly, the oil burns completely and uses a minimum of air, so that it makes hardly any smoke and leaves very little soot. If you open the inspection flap in the front of the furnace, you can see if there's smoke on the lip of the flame, and if soot is collecting. Also lake a look al the clamper, which you will find in the pipe between the furnace and the chimney. This clamper should open and shut freely in a draft caused by the wind. It lets in cool air from the basement which helps to slop too much warm air from the furnace escaping up the chimney. With gas furnaces, the heal comes from a burner in the form of a single jet or in a cluster similar to the jets on a gas stove. The gas is ignited in air by a pilot light. If this is to work properly, you •should watch for three things in parti- cular. First, see that the air intakes in the sides of the furnace are not blocked..Second, make sure that the pilot light is always burning, except in summer of course. Third, check often to see if the flame from the burner is blue. If there is any yellow in the flame, it's getting loo much air and the air nozzle needs regulating. For efficient burning, the gas flow valve and pressure regulator need to be correctly adjusted too. All of the adjustments that have to be made to a gas furnace need an expert. So call your gas company. You can save about 1 0% on the fuel bill if you have the oil furnace -and burner cleaned and tuned al least once a year by a qualified serviceman. The items needing attention include the combustion chamber, burner adjustments, oil nozzle, oil filter and gaskets, oil pump, flue, smoke pipe, chimney system, internal surfaces of the furnace, fan and electrical equipment, Make sure your serviceman tests the efficiency and reports it to you. For gas heating, a serviceman should also carry out a complete check once a year. The components of a gas fur- nace requiring maintenance include the combustion chamber, heat exchanger, pilot light, filters, fan, chimney system and exterior. Other ways to keep yourself snug while still saving energy are by having a furnace of the right size and type for --.o_ur home - but that's another story — and by making sure -that the heat circulates properly throughout your home — which is yet another story. These will be discussed in future "Energy Savers" columns. You 'can learn more about furnaces and their main- tenance by writing to Box 3500, Station C, Ottawa, On- tario, K 1 Y 4G1, for a copy of The billpayer's guide to furnace . servicing. This gives up-to-date information compiled by the Office of Energy Conservation, Depart- ment of Energy Mines and Resources. As you will discover, there's much you can do yourself to keep your furnace on the top line, but don't try to take the place of a professional serviceman, Unless you really know your stuff, your efforts could prove costly, and even dangerous. -IN5PECf1ON DC0IZ TQANSRDeMER -CONT OL - BOX Taylor; Low—Gloria McEwing; Men Lone lands -•Ted Hunking; High --Wilfred Shortreed; Low -- Lorne Hunking; Having most zeros --Bert Shobbrook.

Godcrich Trustee Dorothy Wallace asked the board to reconsider its earlier stand, claiming that more information had been supplied to the board by the teacher, Bevan Lindsay. Mr. Lindsay is a teacher in the Queen Elizabeth School for the Mentally Retarded and requested a 25 day leave of absence with pay. Mr. Lindsay requested the leave to travel to British Columbia to investigate the operation of a group home for mentally retarded youth, The investigation was to educate him in the administration of a group home which he is being planned in Goderich at the beginning of March. Mrs. Wallace asked the board to reconsider its denial pointing out that not enough information was available to the board when the decision was made. She explained that Mr. Lindsay had sent the request to the board's staff improvement committee and had assumed it would be forwarded to the board, She said the information did not.. ,come to the board and felt that the board had "voted in the dark". In a letter to the board Mr. Lindsay said he was prepared to give up 25 days of sick leave in exchange for the leave of absence. He explained that approvals for the group home project had to be received from several levels of provincial government and that final approval was not given until December 12, 1977, which is why his request was timed as it was. He said the board's suggetion that the effort by Mr, Lindsay be made in the summer was impractical because of the timing. He said the province ends its fiscal year March 31 and he felt the project should be acted on now to avoid the risk of losing provincial grants. The teacher added that he has spent every summer since 1970 upgrading himself professionaly and had done so at his own expense, Mr. Lindsay pointed out that the board has a legal responsibility to trainably retarded people from 18 years of age to 21 years of age. He said the proposed workshop admits people in that age bracket and provides then with training and education designed to break the cycle of parental and institutional dependence. Mrs. Wallace pointed out that Lindsay's intentions seemed to be beyond the call of duty adding that he did not appear to be seeding a paid "play holiday." Colborne Township Trustee Shirley Hazlitt said the board should have had the information rovided by Mr. Lindsay when it made its initial decision. She said she sometimes feels the board is asked to make decisions on scanty information and that usually after a denial it gets more complete Huron - Bruce NDP names executive The tiding executive was elected at the January meeting of the Huron Bruce New Democratic Party.

Dorothy Williams, trustee for Clinton, asked if Mr, Lindsay's intentionwas to use the 25 days leave to hire an administrator for the hone. She said Mr, Lindsay said in his letter that he expected to turn over many of the duties of the home to a director and she wondered if his leave was to find that person. "Hoes it take that long to find this person?" she asked, Mrs, Wallace said she assumed the time was needed to gather information on the project and to see how other areas administer it. She said it also appeared as though time was needed to prepare the house to be used for the project and added that Mr. Lindsay had said that most of his.' axtra responsibilities in the project would end when the director was hired in March, John Cochrance, director of education, said he had not changed his opinion on the subject since the first time the board dealt with it.

County Federations of Agri- culture are being asked to circulate the petitions among area farmers to allow submission of the proposal to the government soon. John Hazlitt, grains committee and Adrian Vos, Blyth, are circulating the petition in the Blyth area and any farmer. wishing to support the plebiscite should contact Mr. Vos at 523-4294. A study of the present corn marketing system has prompted the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture Grains Committee ---to propose a modification of the present system to deal with current and continuing problems. The Committee feels, said Mr. Gunby, that a corn marketing board with powers to buy and sell' or powers with pricing is not the practical solution to current diffi- culties. About 40% of the Ontario grain corn is fed on Ontario farms, without entering commercial channels. The farmer sells predominately into a feed market and must compete with Western Feed Grains and American corn. The OFA Grains Committee feels that a negotiating marketing board with low-level functions would be more suitable under present conditions. The principal functions for a negotiating board as set out in the OFA proposal would be to act as a spokesman for corn growers; negotiate and administer advance payments; negotiate stabilization plans for corn; negotiate corn handling and drying charges; supply marketing and trade information and promote export opportunities. One of the prime functions of isked to cone to the front along the negotiating marketing board with the bride -elect's sister, Mrs. would be to act as a spokesman Karen Carter who assisted in for the corn grower says John opening the gifts. Oke, Exeter, member of the OFA Mrs. Sharon Pryce read the Grains Committee in 1977. address to the future bride of Atrazine, a weed control February l l th. chemical used by corn growers, is Mrs, Shirley Laverty, Eve lyn being linked to problems in Henderson and Mrs. Sharon humans in the United States and Pryce brought in the gifts , n there is no one to represent the umbrella was decorated with corn growers voice on the subject. same as that for corn with stress cracks after drying or high moisture content says Oke, There is no incentive to the farmer for a premium quality corn and no incentive to the elevator to separate the two qualities and instead they buy American corn," says Oke. "The Canadian market could be self-sufficient," says Mr. Oke. "The Canadian corn grower could supply the entire market." The marketing board could also supply marketing and trade information. The farmer is partic- ularly vulnerable when selling his corn. Two years ago the farmers held onto their corn because they wanted an increase in the price being offered and the dealers bought American corn which depressed the Canadian price and then when the farmers sold, Ithe market was flooded, The market is still suffering the effects of a backlog from two years ago and 1 completion this summer, Another purpose for the board would be to explore the possibility of opening export markets through this terminal. This possibility should be researched and the corn producers have no body to represent then and initiate this research. ' The Ontario Corn Council has the depressed price is a result. 'revitalized its activities as a result The United Co-operatives of of the OFA proposal says Mr. Oke Ontario is building a new water and the Council has been doing a terminal in Windsor for deep sea good job inthe past. But, he says, vessels which is scheduled for a board which is farmer oriented and docs not consist of represen- tatives from industry as well as farmers, as does the Ontario Corn Council, could do a better job of representing the corn growers. "The farmers themselves are apathetic to the OFA proposal," says Mr, Oke, "They want a negotiating marketing board but they have not been hurt bad enough to really push for it." "We have not heard of any opposition to the proposal," observed Mr, Oke, "Just an apathetic reaction," Walton shower honours bride A community shower was held for Miss Connie Coutts of Guelph formerly of Walton, on Monday evening, January 30th in the basesment of Duff's United Church. Judy Thanier and Bev Stevenson were at the door and signed names from the guest book on a cameo cloth. Mrs. Marine Marks was emcee for the program consisting of a solo, "Roomful of Roses" by Heather McGavin accompanied by her mother at the piano. Mrs. Marjory Humphries gave a reading "Two Frogs" Mrs. Marie McGavin gave a skit ons "Making a Cake" followed by a reading by Mrs. Doreen' Hackwcll, Mrs. Marie McGavin led in a lively sing -song. Corsages were presented to the guest of honour and her mother Mrs. Marie Coutts and they were The board would also negotiate and administer advance pay- ments says Oke. In the United States right now, the farmer is advanced up to 70%. of what he will be paid for his corn without congesting the market by selling the corn at the time he receives the payment. Sonic farmers feel there is no need for stabilization plans for corn says Oke and yet, there is no board to hold meetings to discuss stabilization with the farriers. Another responsibility of the negotiating board would be to negotiate handling and drying charges. The moisture chart used by elevators at the present time is not accurate over 22 percent moisture according to the Board of Grain Commissioners. Moisture readings are inaccurate over 22 per cent and yet most of the corn brought to ,the elevators is 35 per cent moisture. There is a test that can be done which is too expensive be conducted on each load but this problem should be negotiated. Payments for corn at 20 per cent which is old to the distilling, starch and cereal industries is the bows from the parcels. Connie thanked everyone in a few well !chosen words for all the lovely gifts. A tasty lunch served by the Walton Unit ladies brought a pleasant evening to a close.

Appreciation was voiced to Snowbanks are hazard All the snow falling on South- western Ontario this winter has created a potential electrical hazard. "Large snowfalls and high drifts have combined to reduce the clearances between electrical wires and the ground, so people can reach them more readily," says E. G. Bainbridge, manager of Ontario Hydro's Western Region. Mr. Bainbridge warned that snowdrifts have piled along fences at transformer stations and under transmission lines, making dangerous high voltage equip- ment accessible, especially to adventurous children. "I've asked our seven area offices in Western Region to be on the lookout for these hazards and arrange, as soon as possible, to clearn snow away ' fromtthe transformer stations," he said. Hydro urged customers to avoid transmission lines and other installations and to call the nearest hydro pr local utility office when one of these hazardous situations is noted.

HARDY Mass at Blyth every Sunday at 9 a.m. Minister's Study THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 8, 1978 =1 Justice is commandments Editors Note:Due to stormy weather in January Mr. Hoogstecn missed a week, We arc publishing his last instalment 11-:rc, have written these pieces about gambling and advocating Christian justice in the, spirit of Jeremiah 29.7: "But seek the welfare of the city where 1 have sent you... and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare." One must at all costs avoid that fundamentalism in the Church which separates grosly the Christian faith from the practicality of the market place, The Lord loves justice, and where his justice reigns, where the political leaders as ministers of God maintain justice there is peace and prosperity for all, Last time 1 referred to Deut 5.32-33, and then also, read Judges and the Books of Kings: wherever the political powers seek justice there is peace and abundance. Justice is keeping the coniniandnicnts of the Lord out of love for Christ and for the salvation he worked on the cross. That love for Christ manifests itself in the business coniniunity, both among merchants and patrons, by keeping the eight commandment. Where this commandment is kept in all its ramifications in thanksgiving to Christ all political and economic injustices melt away and God's justice reigns. Gambling, big or small, is essentially breaking the eight commandment, But breaking God's law, as summarized by 'you shall love your neighbour as yourself,' which is what the eight commandment is about, has sodic curious benefits. As Valerie Dale wrote last week in a letter to the editor, it gives the business community opportunity for altruism at Christmas, and gives customers some entertainment and or extra money. But at the cost of injustice, of surrendering to chance. Resistance to gambling in the Church comes from a confessional trust in God's providence. Hunian life is based on that sure confidence that God will provide food and work. Gambling, on the other hand, resorts to chance, reflecting a denial of divine providence. That is not to say that some good has 110t been done, Wintario money was crucial in rebuilding arenas (at least, that was the argument), and is used in medical and cultural programs. Would direct tax monies be used for all these things, taxes would have skyrocketed, and - still be going �TRADfUP ��� 7uABEIIER MD CAR/ 1978 FOPD CUSTOM 5U0 4 door 1978 FORD 1/2 Torr 1978 GRANADA 4 door 197.8 GR, NADA 2 door 1976 DODGE SWINGER a cylinder, automatic 2 door hardtop. 1976 FORD F 100 V8 manmade 1976 Astrei '1975 CH EV IMPALA, 4 door U.T. with air 1975 PLYMOUTH, GRAND FURY, 2 door hardtop.. 1975 DODGE CORONET, Station wagon,. 19.74 DODGE• COLT ST.

There is something painless about such a form of taxation: everyone gives a little, a few win handsomely, and many benefit through cultural and medical programs. But count the cost of this indirect taxation: it is pandering to greed. And count the cost again, in the tremendous loss for charitable organizations. Let's stay with fairly round figures. A third of Wintario's income is lost to its bureaucratic structure. Another third is given away in `winnings' $100,000,00 here and $50,000.00 there. What is left over goes to charitable, medical, and cultural causes, To gamble with the intention of helping this or that charitable cause is foolhardy. Even if, as the sometimes popular argument goes, the winnings are used to circulate more money for charitable purthees, it is only a part of the money involved in Winatario, And it is inevitably the cases, with he exception of a few odd characters, (thatthe first part of the winnings is used for themselves, and only after their needs are satisfied will they think about helping others, Love for neighbour? Where there is love for neighbours the money will conte, tier dollars here and a hundred there, to help where help is needed. Just think what the success of the March of Dimes was built on. As the Lord loves justice he loves equally repentance, and where the Word is proclaimed and where the Spirit moves there will be repentance. And the result of repentance will be a firm commitment in the removal of injustice, in no more participation' in that which destroys the welfare of country, city, town or village. "seek good, and not evil, that you may 1 ive; and so the God of hq will be with you. " But let just. roll down like waters, a riehteousness like an everflowi stream." (Antos 5.14,24), Where injustice reigns in the business community, that is, injustice in breaking the eight commandments, there will be economic doldrums, frustration, and fear, Where the laws of the Lord are upheld in love for Christ there is peace with God and peace with one another. Where the laws of the Lord are upheld there is prosperity for all and the abundance of life that all may serve hint in fulness. This whole matter of gambling, from store counter guessing gimmicks and the Double Your Money Draw to the Wintario and Loto Canada is reprehensible greed. When will justice be done?

He was none other than Mr. Wood, our Vice Principal, complete in his outfit of "The Fonz".. With his Chain swinging and his running shoes squeaking, Fonzie casually strolled across the stage making all of the girls melt at the sight of their idol! Mr. Wood was just one of the many teachers that became involved in some way, shape or form, with "Snow Fest '78". Just to give you an idea of the sorts of activities that this authoritarian group participates in, here are some of them. The teachers were involved in the broomball game and the Tug of War teams. They are good sports too, considering their Tug of War team was outnumbered 2 to 1! One teacher, the "Unknown Comic" made his debut in the Gong Show and two others acted as judges for several contests. The teachers haven't just limited their enthusiasm to the Snow Carnival. They have been involved and active in nearly all of the activities suggested by the students' council -Purple and White Day, . The Christmas Assembly, Greaser Day and so on. We even have a very talented Ski teams compete Cross Country Skiing is an exciting sport intended to give sightseeing of our beautiful country, give tone and strength to muscles and good physical fitness. Mr. Hunter and Mrs. Lisle the coaches of this year's team, hope to do well in Huron - Perth on February 2. The boys' team is composed of Toni White,': John Campbell, Bernie Webster, Graham Rutherford, Kemp Currie and Jerry Brenner. The girls' team consists of Janet Wood, Sherri Smith, Kathy Cruikshank, Gail Thompson, Jane White and Chris Orien. The members practice on their own and they have practiced several times at the Falconer Trail. Last Sunday, January 22, the teams went to the Beehive Tour. There was no competition but the distance of 18 km. was good practice for a tour. We wish the team good luck at Huron -Perth! Annette Dorsch 13A MP reports group of three male teachers who entertained the entire student body, at one of the Monday morning assemblies! But, to top everything, thanks to the warm- heartedness of the teachers there weren't very many tests scheduled for Carnival week, To me, that is just about the nicest gesture they , have every made! They may not realize it, but every student in this school loves to see any teacher get involved and cause some laughter --in any kind of situation! It brightens up the whole day, or week for that matter. The main purpose in creating "Snow Fest" week, was to revive the School Spirit that has been slowly fading away over the last few years. This goal has been achieved one hundred per cent -- just ask any teacher or student! It was great to see so many people stay at school for the events that had been planned. We had a beautiful week, weather-wise, and lots of partici- pation. That is why "Snow Fest '78" was such a roaring success. Who said that Madill was lacking spirit? We're all alive and Cheering! Julie King 13B Co -Editor Teachers beat students at ball On Wednesday, January 18, in the midst of the winter Carnival, everyone was dismissed at 1:00 to sec the annual Student -Teacher Broomball game at the Wingham Arena, The arena was packed with spectators who witnessed the unfortunate loss. The teachers managed a lucky goal to give them a 1-0 victory over the students. Each team had to have five female players (and the rest male). Mr. B. Elliott ("B" stands for blind) and the competent, honest Frank Leahy were the referees, The game consisted of Iwo twenty minute periods, Mr. Lane, the hero of the teachers team, got the only goal, late in the first period. He was assisted by Miss Schofield and Mr. Willis. It was ' a heavy -hitting game with three big penalties .Janet Wood got one for molesting a teacher, Paul Dickson for broom foul and Mr. Gavreluk got a penalty --for reasons unknown (but probably well-deserved!). Mr.' "Swift -Stick" McLennan should have received a penalty for picking on various, defenceless student players-but;vIr. Elliott failed to see the obvious (sight becomes impaired with old age) and Mr. McLennan escaped unpunished. Special thanks go to the cheerleaders who stood behind the right team and encourage the students, Coach Graham almost didn't make it to the game, because of his injury, but he ignored the pain and his agony (woo!) and got there by stretcher! The only thing wrong with the game, was that the teachers never gave the student team enough time to score! Janice Guest I3A Madill Mirror Drama teacher is world traveller Teacher Interview.: Mr. Elgie Mr, Elgie, • an English and Drama teacher here at Madill, was born in Fort William, Ontario. His family moved to London when he was five. It was in London that he attended school and later the University of Western Ontario. At U.W.O. he was trained under the University Reserve Training Plan and later served in the Royal Canadian Airforce. While still attending U.W.O. he acted on the Little Theatre Stage in London. After achieving his B.A. he went to Toronto University where he received his B. Ed. His first teaching experience was previous to university, in a one -roomed stone -school, near Brockville, Ontario. He taught thirty-two pupils in all eight grades. After university he taught in Ottawa and then out west before coming to Wingham. Mr. Elgic has acted and directed in the Northern Ontario Drama Festival. Hc has acted at the Passadcna Play House in Passadcna , California, home of the rose Bowl, in a play called "Girls of the Golden West." Mr. Elgic has travelled extensively around the world. spending time in India, Russia Europe and the Near East. Mr. Elgie is presently busy Students dress up for greaser day On Friday the students of F. E. greeted the school in a different way; but why shouldn't they. Friday was the last day of the winter carnival, and greaser day. Many students costumed themselves in fifties costumes with 11F having the greatest participation, and 13B coning second. The apparel of many of the girls consisted of a blouse, perhaps a sweater, a skirt, white running shoes, and of course bobby socks. As tar as the guys went, there was a wide selection. An suit and tie, adorned with a white shirt. The closer to authentic, with T-shirts and stovepipe pants. And the "Pseudo-Fonz" type with jeans, T-shirt, leather jacket, shades and of course greased hair, hence the name greaser day. There were also many other variations, and new ideas, too numerous to mention. As with any dress up day, there were those, (including yours , truly), who refused, or just didn't dress up. As with the greasers, there was a wide range of clothing here too, although it didn't count. These dress up days, like purple and white day, drum up a lot of school spirit. not to mention the fact that they can be fun There should be more of them in the future, to break up the monotony of everyday life. Steve Johann casting for "Fiddler on the Roof" an operetta which Madill will present this spring. Mr. Elgie says this is a wonderful family show and he hopes the people in the area will come out and enjoy it. Question: What changes would you like to see in the school page? Carol Jamieson 13A --More pictures and more articles and poems written by the students. Rob Demaray 11B --I'd like to see the daily results of the races at Woodbine Raceway. Dale Whitfield 12H --More pictures, and Madill having the winning scores. Sally Le Van 13A --Nothing. It's perfect. Brian Arnold 12A --I'd like to see it in the Lucknow Sentinel! ;Joanne Sanderson --I think it's okay, but there should be a section for the clubs. Toni Walker --There should be a vaster assortment of school items pertaining more to the majority of the students. Cathy Willits --There should be more student interviews and less articles on sports. (Tom used all nay big words Karen Underwood --I think it's okay the way it is. Rita White --I don't think anything should be changed, Joanne Wood --'!'here should lic more pictures but I like the student interviews. Marni Walsh --It would be more interesting if' there were more articles written by students, such as essays, poems, etc. Susan Langlois --I think it's good the way it is but there should be more pictures. Leslie Vandenburg and Gwen James --There should be more information on the geography club and more poems and short stories. The student interviews are really good. Valerie Stuart --It should be bigger and cover more areas. Connie Meurs--It's okay the way it is. Election call hard to believe By R.E.

On the order paper for this An extension of the bBpk Act session for Debate is Bill C6 an passed second reading this week act respecting Canadian ports. in the House of Commons. The The Minister of Transport, Mr. Bank Act is supposed to come up Lang, says the introduction of Bill for new amendments every ten C 6 in the House of Commons on October 24, 1977 has generated keen interest in the development of a new port system in Canada. The re -organization of the ports,• will form an integral part of the national transportation policy, consultation by local port management. The proposed act will, for the first time, unify Canada's port system under one piece of legislation. He also says that we have developed into a sophisticated trading nation whose port facilities . have changed tremendously in the past two decades. For example, radical shifts in shipping patterns and .enormous changes in shipping technology have all had to be accomodated over a short Period of time and the people in Port Communities have begun to express a greater than ever interest in their port. We've made considerable changes and much progre in the past, and we're proud of it, Our people have worked with skill, enthusiasm and efficiency and their efforts should ease the transition from the old way to the new, He says while tlienew policy will enable the Ports system to meet the challenges of the future by allowing us to better coordinate port development, 1 think the most satisfying aspect of the policy is its emphasis on built in autonomy for ports. He says we've produced a reasonable policy and one that 1 think is sound, practical and fair. However, many of our waterfront muncipalities, especially in Ontario, have asked that the act not be passed until all muncipalities who wish to, shall have the opportunity of presenting a submission to the Minister or more importantly to the standing committee on transport where this bill will be sent for indepth study. There is much concern among the waterfront municipalities that some of their jurisdiction will be usurped 1 have nnade submission to the Minister supporting the request of the waterfront muncipalities to be allowed to present their case, THE BLYTH STANDARD,FEBRUARY 8, 1978 -15 Whatever Your Taste._ the. tandard The Blyth Standard WILL BE IN YOUR MAIL BOX WEEKLY The Standard Please enter a Subscription in the name of Name Address From: Address 0 $4.00 Enclosed 0 Please bill me. 16—THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 8, 1978 PICK UP POINT — Several people stop at the check point to pick up their cards for the Walton Poker Rally which was held on Sunday.

Most dairy farmers have noticed that the prices of Market sharing quotas • the only kind of milk quota which one farmer can sell directly to another - have escalated dramatically. In late October, there were sales at 11 cents per pound. A sensible question to ask is: how much is MSQ worth? Members of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario answer your questions in Dollar Sense. Mr. Shaughnessy is with Gil. Ward & Partners, (;obourg. The question can be answered by using capital budgeting techniques. Mere are the two situations where, these can be. applied: In the first case, a farmer needs a larger (1110111 to justify expanding his herd, so lie buys 11'ISQ. In the second case, he needs 0 larger quota to accommodate the product- ion of a herd that he already has. Suppose you are that first farmer. If you are expanding your herd; you must calculate the cost of cattle, equipment, build- ings, feed and all the other operating expenses. We know the milk is worth about 71/2 Cents a pound after board deductions, So, after you deduct your expenses, you will be able to calculate your net income per pound of milk. If net income is 1 cent a pound, and your money is worth 10 per cent u year; and if you wish to have the investment pay for itself in 5 years, the most you can pay for MSQ is 4 cents a pound. At this price, the extra income will repay n 10 per cent loan in five years, If you are the second farmer, and need a larger quota to accommodate your present herd, deduct only the expenses that change after buying the quota. Now you do not have to figure in the cost of cattle, equipment and buildings, and your additional costs may only be 11/2 cents for feed and milking expenses. Your marginal income is then 71 rents minus 11/2 cents, or 6 cents a pound. Again, if money is worth 10 per cent, and you wish to pay off the investment in five Oars, the most you should pay for MSQ is about 121/2 cents. This is very likely too high, because you should be able to buy MSQ next year for less than 4 cents a pound, which means that you paid 81/2 cents a pound for the balance of this year ... more than the milk was worth. You would have been further ahead to dump it. 'I'o make the right de- cision, you should know the long -terns value of MSQ (less than four cents) and your cost of producing a pound of milk. Only then can your pencil help you make the right decision. 14 Property For Sale 14 Property For Sale THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 8, 1978,—,19 Seaforth 1288.sq. feet of modern living, 90' x 163' lot.

(Staff Photo) Rot E supports prornotion of bus- laws bus before opening the door to discharge children. Hdie said if a vehicle is approaching and appears to have no intention of stopping the driver will wait until it has passed before opening the bus door. Once the children arc out of the bus the driver usually checks traffice to ensure it is safe for the children to cross the road and then signals them to go ahead. Indications are that police forces arc doing their utmost to prevent accidents involving motorists ignoring stopped buses but simply can't patrol the hundreds of miles of bus routes travelled daily by the buses. The Huron County Board of Education supported a petition problem and if it was possible for Monday to have the province of the driver to recognize the Ontario adopt "more emphatic vehicle, driver and licence and continuous educational number.
