(Standard Photo) High school teachers walk out Tuesday All secondary schools in Huron County were closed Tuesday as Huron County teachers continued their walk out for a better contract, Wingham and Goderich first closed their doors on Thursday, followed on Friday by Clinton and Seaforth, At 8:35 on Tuesday morning a Teacher's federation rep phoned the Huron County Board of Education office in Clinton to say the teachers would be out at all county high schools on Tuesday, according to John Cochrane, director of education. The strike is a day to day situation according to Mr. Cochrane. A lockout of teachers by the board he agreed. is "always possible." Two issues divide the sides, Board may close Walton School Huron County Board of Winthrop. Education trustee John Huron's director of education Henderson has confirmed that his John Cochrane said Tuesday committee will ask the board to con, ier closing Walton Public School at the board's March 6 meeting. The plan Mr. Henderson's fiscal and property committee has Worked out, the subject of many rumours in the last week would see Walton PSstudents bused to Seaforth Public School and the Walton school closed. In order to make room for the 120 Walton PS Kindergarten to Grade 4 students, two SPS Grade 8 classes would be shifted to Scaforth District High School where there will be room because of decli ning enrolment. Walton Public School has full enrolment now and expects 33 new kindergarten students in September. Children in the first five school grades from the townships of Morris, Grey and McKillop attend the school. • The ar ea is represented by three trustees, Mr. Henderson who covers M cKillop, Don McDonald who covers Grey and John Elliott, board chairman, who represents Morris, Parents of WPS students, alarmed about tho closing proposal, have organized a meeting tonight at Family Paradise which the three trustees and Don Kenwell, the B. of E. Superintendent who produced facts and figures on the dollar saving to the board if the Walton School is closed, will attend. Trustee Henderson said parents were jumping the gun by holding their own meeting and said his committee had planned to have an information meeting before the board considered the closure, but needed board approval before it could be called, "We weren't going to do it (close the school) without parents being informed." • His committee is not looking at closing any other schools in the county, Mr. Henderson said and the proposal to clsoe Walton is based on "plain commonsense," Seaforth Public has some space available and it has facilities like a library, Mr. Henderson said, "Why 'close it and keep open a four room school that's in need of repair?" Although Grey trustee McDonald says his "phone has been ringing" with a lot of parents very concerned about the fate of the school, Mr. Henderson says other parents are asking when their children will get into SPS instead of going through the bus turn around at morning that closing Walton Public School has not yet been discussed by the board. As a straight money saving plan it might make sense, but there are other things to consider. he said. One concerns sick leave credit gratuity which c'arrentlyprovides payment of up to half a year's salary when a teacher resigns or retires without having used up sick leave entitlements, The board feels the teachers must be 50 years old and have 12 years of service before being eligible for the payment. Teachers oppose this stipulation . Another problem in negotiations appears to be a clause which stipulates how many pupils a teacher will handle during a teaching day. The teachers had the clause in the last contract and want it renewed but the board says it isn't workable, The board argues the teachers are already protected by a pupil -teacher ratio ranging from 16.8 students to one staff to 17,2 students to one staff, including guidance counsellors, principals, vice-principalsand other support staff, Salaries have been settled.The teachers have agreed to a 7.5 percent increase, resulting in an (Continued on Page 8) WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1978 BLYTH ONTARIO, PRICE: 2Q Cents Volume 88 - No.8 Blyth licence sales slow Car owners beware.

When the tube or radio comes on 1 often hear calls both from the government and concerned groups to conserve and 1 wonder what else could I do other than what I do now? Now there is hope for the conservationist.

About 10 billion gallons — that's over 400 gallons for each man, woman and chile( in Canada -- and we could probably pour one or two billion gallons down the drain for all the good they do us. Can you picture all the oil wells, refineries, pipelines, tankers, tank trucks and filling stations it takes to deliver this ocean of gasoline to us, and the energy used in doing it? But, despite the price, which is steadily creeping up toward the world level of $1.50 a gallon, we use and waste more gasoline each year, and no one can be sure how soon the wells will run dry. Ideally, we should all be driving cars that give at least 50 miles to the gallon. But, as these will not serve everyone's needs, we can at least see that our cars use as little fuel as possible by keeping them in top mechanical shape. The Champion Spark Plug Company carried out some tests which showed that almost half of the cars in the Toronto and Montreal areas were badly maintained and wasted fuel, polluted the air- excessively or otherwise performed badly, They: said that the fuel efficiency of cars could be improved by an average of 9 per cent. They reduced one car's fuel consumption by 5.5 per cent. The Office of Energy Conservation, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, estimates that good car main- tenance increases fuel economy by 15 per cent over a poorly maintained car. They explain proper maintenance fully in a publication called The Car Mileage Book, which is available free .if you write to Box 3500, Station C, Ottawa, Ontario, K 1 Y 4G 1. Winters are especially hard on cars. The book recom- mends a major tune-up in the fall to help make your car last longer and save on fuel. This involves a thorough check to rectify any faults in the following items: • fuel system — carburetor, air cleaner, fuel lines, fuel filter, emission controls; • ignition system spark plugs, ignition leads, coil, distributor (or leads and insulators on electronic ignition), timing; • cooling system - radiator, hoses, thermostat, coolant (replace it each year); oil — change oil usually every 2,000 or 3,000 miles, and replace oil filter at every other oil change; • mechanical heat riser valve, control linkages, com- pression, motor mountings; • electrical alternator, voltage regulator, battery, starter, block heat er; • exhaust system — look for weakened spots in muffler and all pipes; • drive train — transmission, transmission linkage, dif- ferential fluid; • undercarriage — drive shaft, shocks, steering linkage; also for Lubrication and wheel -bearing repack instructions, see your owner's manual; • brakes — linings, master cylinder, parking brake. If salt is used on the winter roads where you drive, have your car rust proofed, but insist on a guarantee; or have the underside of your car sprayed with used motor oil before or during winter. Also, if possible, wash the underside of your car at a do-it-yourself car wash, and pay special attention to the places where salt and dirt collect. Whether- you are do-it-yourselfer or not, you can pick up a lot of useful information about cars and their upkeep in The Car Mileage book. lllllllllll�llullllillllllplllllll�� I„No -� II II 111dI�� �1111�IUIIIUUWuuu III I III%I`IIII I ��,��► SII P ment of. labour, The whole idea of having material and information readily available to the public is that it will encourage conservation of our a1rea'dily endangered resources, Here is an .educating alternative to our head in the sand approach to conserving. Materials and ideas will be shared between main centres at Stratford and Owcn,Sound and all will be backed by the Regional Resource Centre. The most important issue that is present in our minds is how to insulate properly and thus avoid those costly heating bills. Never fear. There will be insulation clinics planned as well as clinics on how to make your home more energy efficient, For the totally conservative person there will be information available on alternate energy sources from wind to solar power, The two things that I was most impressed with. upon hearing of the Resource Centre was the fact that a call is out for office equipment for the Centre so that funds will not be eaten up faster than is necessary. The other great idea is having involvement before definite plans have been made. Anyone having suggestions, questions or who would like to become involved can write to Box 532, Godcrich. This programme is slated to run only six months so if you have any questions please don't hesi- tate to move now and to get involved, It's your future and the answer to our survival perhaps will lie with the action we take now to conserve our resources.

Registration Number 1319 Mennonites There are still people in our society who believe that non-violence is a virtue, that frugality, personal morality and virtuous living are the way -of -life ordained of their Creator. These are the same Virtues that once were the cornerstones of our social order. These people believe that human energy is the best alternative source of supply and decline to depend on non-renewable sources of energy. These people. believe in community living and mutual support. And while the rest of us stand about and yearn for the good old days and wring our hands impotently about the loss of values or spend hours over cocktails decrying the breakdown of family and the advent of the permissive society, the non-violent, hardworking Mennonite communities do something about it -- they live their beliefs. But look what they get for it. Do we try in some small way to emulate them? Do we encourage their peaceful attempts to live as they feel right without infringing on our rights to waste and spend more? Incredibly, no . Indeed, it seems we persecute them for living as we ought. Recently in Ontario, the Old Order Amish dairy farmers, who produce milk using little or no outside energy supplies, found itself in direct conflict with the bureaucrats at Queens Park. Believing, as they do,that electricity is not for them, the Amish nevertheless produce high quality milk, chilled to regulations but without benefit of Ontario Hydro. The government has said change or go out of business. The Mennonites, peaceful to the end, are not fighting. An even more bizarre case exists in Texaswhere a community of Mennonites were ready to transform the arid land they had purchased into a paradise using deep wells and hard'work. They did not know, and the immigration authorities did not tell them, that ' they faced an unsurmountable series of obstacles -- legal and otherwise -such as water rights sold toothers, thereby making it illegal to drill on their own land; ineligibility to obtain work permits, making it impossible to obtain cash and now deportation as undesirable aliens. All this, for wanting to work land others wouldn't touch. Something is clearly wrong in both these cases when, in a society tolerating the violence we do, a group of decent, hard-working, peaceful people are persecuted so easily by the representatives of all of us. Who will take up the cudgels on their behalf, albeit peaceful cudgels? (Unchurched Editorials) The big pow wow The big political pow wow took place in Ottawa last week and there was a great fuss because the Prime Minister and the Premiers of the 10 provinces didn't come up with the solution to all that ails the country. To listen ' to commentators on radio, television and in the newspapers, one would think that our leaders are stupid, callous and arrogant and don't care at all about the little guy who's suffering in the recession the country is going through. The leaders should move mountains to get these people back to work. Now granted, for those unemployed the situation is grave and very sad, It's easy to say 800,000 are unemployed and gloss over it. It's harder to think of the 800,000 individuals involved, of their own personal tragedies, the grief they can feel. But I find myself wondering these days, if the politicians should move mountains to get these people back to work instantly; even if they could. The problem was brought into focus the other day by two speakers I heard on the radio. They were talking about the need to move from the present consumer society to a conserver society, There are those, of course, who feel such a move is not necessary, that we can go on forever with our present materialis- tic splurge. Others, looking ahead to shortages in fossil fuels, in ; metals and in nearly all the products used today to make the fancy gadgets we clutter our houses with, say we can't continue in the path we've been on since World War 1I. We got to move ahead to what we've left behind, they say. We've got to learn to live more in the way people did in the first half of the 20th century. The spelt -kers I was listening to were saying that it is impossible to keep up the present pace of the consumer society too much longer. For most of h istory, one of them pointed out, only one person in each family worked outside the home to earn an income to buy the goods the family needed. Today, the two -worker home is in the majority, indeed is almost essential for the family to live the standard of living people think necessary, in other words, to buy all those fancy gadgets. While food, the basic essential for existence, is cheaper in relation to income than ever before, we still have people with both husband and wife working, who claim that they can't make ends meet. What lies ahead, the speaker wondered: Will we have to go to polygamy to put enough money in the family income to meet the new standard of living?. The speaker said that sooner or later the consumer society has got to break down and he wondered if that point had already occurred and that was what was causing the current problems. Usually in times past we have had either inflation or unemployment. For the past several years we've had both. What he was trying to point out was that when the switch from the consumer to the conserver society takes place, there will be To the -editor: short-term hardship. That hardship has to come sometime, Government scrambling to patch up the old system is only a short-term bandage and sometime the pain of the transition must take place. The speaker said that he was worried about governments taking hasty, short-term actions that would only complicate the problem, In fact, he went further. He said that, governments allover the world are guilty of purposedly misleading people into thinking the present orgy of materialistic acquisition can go on forever. U.S. President Jimmy Carter's proposal for an energy tax was the only realistic proposal made by western • governments, he claimed, The speaker's words c.,., prove very troubling ones, They will be scoffed at and deliberately ignored by others who don't want to see the present consumer sumer b un e come to a n end. But if he is right, and I for one have the suspicion that he is, then we're in for a few rough years What is frightening about it is that some experts try to say that the way out of our present troubles is a ma .ssive tax cut which would put more money in the hands of consumers so they can "spend their way" out of the current problems. This seems likelyto only compound problems, not solve them. Another view of hard economic times cones out of the book, "Small Business, Building a Balanced Economy" by Prof. Rein Peterson of York University. Prof. Peterson talks of the essentiality of small business in the economy. Businesses will grow as a natural act, he said, but new small businesses must be constantly spawned to add new blood to the business world. New businesses are usually begun by the entrepreneur, the energetic, imaginative people who, as the commercial says, have a better idea and are willing to sacrifice to make it grow. There are many things that can spur ,such people into action, Prof, Peterson says but one of these is hard times. A person is laid off or fired or his company goes bankrupt and the entrepreneur decides to take a fl ing and providing his or her own job by starting a new business. The highest point of activity in forming new small businesses comes at the bottom of an economic cycle. It's possible then, that a good deal of good could come out of the present problems. Canada needs an energetic new generation of small businessmen to p ut life back into providing the services that people need. Among that huge mass of unemployed there may today be ideas brewing that will lead to new businesses that will improve the whole country. Every cloud has a silver lining, the old saying goes and if we can manage to look at the long term instead of the short term, hard times such as our present situation can of. ten bring benefits. It's something to remember the next time some voice of doom booms out of your radio giving the latest gloomy statistics, Ontario hydro scare tactics Ontario Hydro has been mailing 25,000 questionnaires to their farm customers on the possible results of a power blackout on the farm. Such questions 'as: What is the "cost resulting from damage to farm, spoilage of produce, lost crop or animals, cleanup and possible extra labour" and such are obviously designed to scare the farmer into support for the position on electrical expansion that Ontario Hydro favours. The questionnaire raises the prospects of power rationing at a time when the projected seven percent demand for last year turned out to be only two percent. The Huron Power Plant Committee has .never questioned the projections for more generating stations, only their location. But the Committee has also kept abreast of the information that is presented in reams of paper to the Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning and, as mentioned before, found the forecasted demand to be faulty. It will, of course, be up to each farmer if he wishes to answer the questionnaire, but we in our turn question the ethics of Ontario Hydro in this matter. Adrian Vos Chairman, Huron Power Plant Committee To the editor: Violence at CHSS concerns reader Sind tegagers from all the areas served by this Newspaper attend Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton, it needs to be brought to the attention of all parents of these teenagers that several recent incidents among students at this school would indicate that discipline is getting out of hand, Or, to put it more correctly, it is obvious that the disciplinarians are not permitted to administer punishment equal to the crimes, At the rate the pupils are "misbehaving", the first thing we know there will be one of the pupils killed or maimed for life and then there'll. be a real uproar, with the cry "Why wasn't something done to stop it all?" Think about what these events do to the ego of pupils involved, and the morale of all the students. Can you believe that a pupil could be hung up by his feet in a washroom and left there? It happened at C.H.S.S. last week, Can you believe that a girl could be hit so hard on the head that she suffered from concussion, was hospitalized, required stitches to close the wound, and needed glasses repaired. It happened last.week at C.H.S.S. in a corridor at noon hour, What pupil can afford a week away from classes, but the Doctor says it is a must that she be quiet, Can you believe that boys would deliberately smash seven lockers?Again,- it happened at Clinton, last week.

Huronview residents pleased with whirlpool In November, 1977, the Canadian Foresters, Western Ontario Provincial Assembly; sleeting in Goderich presented funds to H uronvicw with which to purchase a Century Whirlpool bath. ' After sonic delays in installation, the bath wsa put into service on January 16th and, in the short space of time since then, has proven to be a boon to the Home. Residents who, because of painful arthritic conditions or extra -sensitive skin, dreaded a regular bath, find the whirlpool not only tolerable but actually pleasant. The built-in lift gives them a real sense -of security and the whirlpool action is definitely beneficial to arthritic joints. The only problem is that one such bath can not possibly accommodate all the residents, Hence, decisior5have to be made as to which residents would benefit most from t he whirlpool and such decisions appear arbitrary to some of the residents not chosen. Despite this small problem, management, staff, and the residents who get to use it are very pleased with this excellent piece of equipment. And it is hoped that another can be acquired'in the near future to let more residents have the obvious benefit of this bathing system.

On food prices, he presented statistics compiled by U.S. agri- cultural attaches, that showed that almost every food item costs less in minutes worked than anywhere else in the world, "Canadian consumers take it much too much for granted that they will continuously have avail- able to them an adequate supply of high quality cheap food, 1 doubt if it ever crosses the mind of Canadians at all that unless they are prepared to pay the price, the farmers will simply cease to produce," Mr. Munro said. He challenged every farmer and every f'arni organization to better acquaint consumers with the real cost of producing food. . Exports of agricultural products outrun imports by $800 million to one billion dollars every year. The contribution to our trade balance has been an important factor in the nation's economy. "We have seen large imports of U.S. pork this year. Our farmers are competitive with the American farmer, but our pork is uncompetitive at the wholesale level," Mr. Munro said, "Farmers should riot have to, and they will not, tolerate the pressure for more and more efficiency in production if the inefficiencies are elsewhere in the system.'' Mr. Munro also commented on the upcoming food strategy conference and expressed concern over indications of the government's thinking. it seems that the thrust of the food strategy is aimed at higher efficiency, in'iproved productivity,cttvit Y and a lowering of the level of protection, t he said, Then' if necessary, stabilization plans in order to give farmers a stable return and consumers fair prices. A possible two price system and even export embargoes are also in the thinking of the minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, He pointed out that every country in\ the world 'has higher tariff protection for its farmers than Canada, and unilateral lowering of protection would hurt the Canadian farmer. As an example of some non - tariff barriers he cited the case of Canadian wheat sales to Japan. In order to bolster the Japanese grain farmer, the government of that country buys Canadian wheat at $2.97 a bushel, delivered, and sells it to the millers for $6,53 per bushel. The profit is used to support the Japanese farmer. As far as protection for agriculture is concerned, Mr. Munro said, that primary agriculture has an average tariff of 2,05%. This compares with manufactured food 7.96%, textile 17%, • clothing 21%, furniture 15%, paper products 6%, and so on. He praised the government for the leadership given in the international trading community on a grains agreement. He reiterated his conviction that the family farm is the only way farming in this -country will survive, but he had some criticism too. He urged more • consideration of shared labour and machinery and other capital costs.

By contrast do you remember the last time you cut a pie into five equal pieces? Authority needs to be divided among five contenders equally. The result can be rather tragic if it is not done. There is no real need for political constitutional changes but rather a clearer line of separation by what might be equal areas of influence rather than the present hodge-podge. The 'Watergate mess was not one group of people out to do illegal things when another group in the same place of authority wouldn't have done something comparable. Authority is now seen where the best hard sell has been mounted. Right now the really critical issue is just sharing authority in some basic decent distribution. This calls for a slightly more developed idea than the pie. A wheel may give some detail which is lacking. A spoked wheel may illustrate fairly well. The hub is government, the spokes, family, school, church, professionals and the leisure industry. The riin is mass media, This suggests that the five spokes must function with some kind of equal effectiveness and that one cannot overlook the strength of the others. At the community level the three pillars of neighbourhood; home, school, church are now loosely bound or are polarized over authority.The school has paper communication with the hone and very little dialogue really takes place. Social sciences and medicine have claims on authority but they have to mesh with these basic three. What has transpired is that the home has given up a lot of its authority to professionals. The authority pie has to be split justly among. the five claimants, The psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists and doctors need to have a sphere of their own. The entertainment industry which comprises leisure, entertainment and sport is the fifth, It requires an understanding between the church and itself over the claim to Sunday. The church, to exist even as a mission, has to have a clean claim to Sunday as its own, This is where I think there is a raid or rob approach to the domain of the original three. ` The social scientists need to understand that the home to exist must insist on accountability from any quarter if marriage, home authority, family solidarity or integrity are under attack for other ends than those held by the home itself, This means that there can be debate but not sensational articles and innuendo of Victorianism or prudery. All slanderous tenden- cies by anyone must be completely checked. Happily that is happening more and more. ;Schools oppose the home very often in that the professional encampment weighs more in the balance than the homes and the use of objectionable language is SNELL'S FOOD MARKET altherre !DIWFIFL4'IIIMYI#IJ SCHNEIDER QUALITY MEATS WIENERS 1 lb. pkg. 99' No. 1 Breakfast BACON 1 lb. pkg. 1.79 Ib. pkg. 1.09 Smoked Sausage SKILLET STRIPS for Parties or Snacks MINI DELI'S 8 oz. 95¢ Store Sliced LUNCH MEATS Chicken, Mac and Cheese Luncheon, Pic and Pimento or French Onion Loaves EVERYDAY LOW PRICE ib.

If the professionals, social sciences and medicine, have a forum other than the school, the home would emerge as a viable authority in the community once more, The unrest of the young within the home is largely due to the fluid state of the home's prestige.. Until it taldes solid root it will be buffetted about. The entertainment industry, including leisure and sport, too must not' be left to raid or rob tactics. Family (entertainment is minimal in theatres and the general spread of rated films even to television cannot be anything but a squeezing of hone rights out of existence, This is roughly how the authority pie has to be portioned out so that each claimant cannot encroach outside given limits. ti The church has not given up the idea that it is entitled to a half -way split dating from the division of church and state at the time of the Reformation, The church has still entertained the illusion that the public school system protected the Judeo- Christian heritage because we have to be reminded that a secular nation is not necessarily a Christian nation, The Church is really a mission in darkest Aifrica everywhere in the world including Canada, With a clear claim to a fifth share of authority, it can only challenge when at top efficienciy within its own sphere of influence. Mass media has been an agent of good works of late and has taken on many secular projects to promote higher ideals of good citizenship, One of these is the full page advertisement against shoplifting with a very no-nonsense approach. That initiative was said to be the paper's own initiative as a public service. Here every home, church, service club, school and university should pay the cost yet it is done as a public service. It is late by 15 to 20 years at least and should be supplemented by bill- boards and television, A hundred thousand young people with criminal records or not, know down deep in the depths of their hearts that the above failed them miserably in the past. This is why we cannot put off the delineation of responsibility so that initiative will be speedy to meet social change.

Making preparations for Plowing Match 'Be Prepared' is good advice and taking that advice the Plowing Match people arc getting ready, at least on paper. Organizing workers for the official booth of the '78 Plowing Match near Wingham is a huge job and the responsibility of Bob and Rene Richm ond. At a meeting on TVednesday the Riehmonds briefed 25 women on their upcoming work. Brussels, Morris and Grey families will be contacted by a volunteer from their area regarding the September Plowing Match. Volunteer labour is the main concern, as the official booth will use 260 people during Federation annual hears .about variety of farming problems A wide range of agricultural problems were discussed at the Annual meeting of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture in Quebec City recently, and while the meeting discussed issues ranging from the cost and hazards of pesticides, machinery parts, energy and taxes to some social issues, very few delegates from across Canada left the convention floor. The meeting asked government not to hand over research funds to private bodies if it can be done in-house, and to increase research in such field as the development of nitrogen fixing plants. This would be a great saving on petroleum products. In order to give some incentive to part time workers in harvest seasons, the delegates asked that unemployed persons would not have to go through a new waiting period if they worked a limited time only, such as harvesting. A sore point with almost all the farmers was the manner of reporting the food index. They urged that the food index be designed so that the Canadian farmer not always get the blame when Florida lettuce increases in price.

Some opponents of ,the proposal insisted that this was a marketing board and the proposal was defeated by a surprisingly small margin. More realistic compensation for livestock ordered destroyed by reason of disease was demanded. Delegates asked for better labelling on the proper with- drawal periods of medicated feeds. the week of the plowing match, That's why the 25 areaco-ordina- tors are necessary. Besides workers, 'each household will hear about the food needed to feed the multitude. Garden produce, pickles and pies will be needed in September to make the Brussels, Morris & Grey meals the best in the Tented City. The telephone canvass will begin soon, and local people are asked to be receptive so the co-ordinators will know who is available during the peak hours as well as who is willing to help prepare food. The official booth at the '78 Plowing Match is a big endeavour but community spirit and pride will be increased if everyone work together to make the tent a success. It will be a long time before the Plowing Match is in Huron again and organizers aim to show the farming community they are appreciated.

Re cited a drop in net income to the farmer of 11% and an expected drop this year of six percent. Part of this could be remedied, he said, if farmers took advantage 'of legislation that is in place now for their protection, "All of you know my position on marketing boards..." He went on to compare the prices paid by consumers for products that are regulated by supply management marketing boards to prices on the free To the editor: (Continued from Page 4) be taken." If such antics went on anywhere other than at a school, the police would be involved and the culprits would receive what they deserved - fines, probation or other punishment. It is understood that parents have been advised to press charges. But .., would you? Or would you fear other repercussions frons such action? Surely the '3oard of Education can authorize or legislate the necessary measures that must be taken to get life at the School back on an even keel.

In all cases, he said, that the regulated product changed little in price, gave the producer a decent income and the consumer a reasonable price, while in the U.S., without the benefit of a regulatory agency the prices fluctuated wildly, from sky high to depressingly low. Over there neither the consumer nor the farmer was happy, he said, Right now Mr. Whelan said, consumers see beef prices up and figure the farmer is making a profit at their expense. He complained bitterly that the stabilization program was being abused in some provinces. "1 heard of a case where apple producers were told they would only get paid a few cents a bushel for their produce. They were told not to worry. Why? Because Whelan would make up the difference." He went on to say that these are dollars out of our pockets and that he would not allow the stabilizationfund to be abused.

Godcrich project co-ordinator, 'Irony McQuail, said the resource centres are just setting up across Canada under a public service contract, which although admittedly will provide needed jobs is geared to working with the community in helping meet their needs and desires on energy conservation.

In making the announcement, Ontario President Lan Macintosh pointed out thatin the six years since the Knights of Columbus officially adopted The Arthritis Society as their principal. permanent charity, the funds that they have raised have risen from about $64,000 in 1972 to an all-time high of $342,500 in 1977. "It is this kind of volunteer support, not only from organiza- tions such as the Knights of Columbus, but from individual volunteers as well, which will win the battle to conquer arthritis", said Mr. Macintosh, The Knights of Columbus is an international fraternal organization whose objectives include unity, fraternity, charity and patriotism. The K. of C. support other activities such as the Pro Life Movement, and also sponsor a basketball free-throw competition. Ontario State Deputy Thomas Keating, when informed that the K of C support has now surpassed the $1,000,000 mark said, "We are proud to be able to assist an organization such as The Arthritis Society, and it is my hope that every Council in the Province will be able to actively help the Society in 1978." The Father Stephen Eckert Council /15289 of Scal'orth donated $300.00 to The Arahritis Society in 1977 and expect to continue support in forthcoming years.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 22, 1978 —19 Sugar and Spice by Bill Smiley Another election Well, who are you going to vote for when they call the election? The youthful, righteous, quiver- ing jowls, or the aging but still elegant shrug? What a choice! One of the guys is so hungry for the big job that he looks as though he can already taste it. The other is so niesnier- ized by failed bilingualism and his personal feud with Rene Levesque that he wouldn't know an ordinary taxpayer if he climb- ed into bed with one. Of either sex. If Joe Stalin were alive and well and living, say in Moosejaw, he'd probably garner more votes than the other two put together. That other Joe was chosen leader of the Tories by a handful of votes pproximately 49 per cent of the convention delegates ,didn't want him. Since then, one of the latter has become a Liberal cabinet minister, another, his Quebec "lieutenant," has faded into the woodwork. His opponent, the ubiquitous Pierre, bedevilled by domestic troubles, a sagging economy, high unemployment, a feeble dollar, and an apparent lack of touch with reality, looks and acts every one of his nearly 60 years, What's a million? This famous line, spoken by the arrogant but extremely competent C. D. Howe,. builder of Canada's industry, almost toppled a government a couple of decades ago, when he uttered it in the famous Pipeline Debate. Red-blooded Canadians across the land shuddered in horror at this scornful attitude toward that magic figure. Today, a politician could stand up in Ottawa and say: "What's a billion?" without raising a ripple. A minor example: the govern- ment people in charge of unem- ployment insurance have launched a $1 million advertising campaign to warn cheaters of the system of the dire consequences should they be caught. What a farce! The system is so full of holes that it is being ripped off - legally it must be added - to the tune of millions, and we all know. it. it's a nice commission for the advertising agency handling the account, but they are the only bodies who will get anything out of it. Who is going to read the ads? Certainly not the people who are cheating. They already know all the loopholes and fine print. Only the very stupid are caught. Certainly not the employers who also cheat, "laying off" a skilled workman when things are a bit slack, with a tacit agreement that he go on unemployment insurance until things pick up, when he will be "re -hired. ,.ertainly not the millions of people like me who a) pay into the fund and b) will never get a nickel back from it. That leaves, as readers, the guysnvho drew up the ad, the civil servants who authorized it, and a scattering of pensioners who can afford a newspaper and read everything in it, for want of something better to do, But what's a million, it' it keeps some advertising types and civil servants happy, and makes the blood of a few pensioners boil? Unfortunately, those ads and that million, along with many. more squandered on such petti- fogging piffles, don't; ;man a thing to the ;,tan or woman in a Bay or Sudbury or Chilli- wack who has been out of work for a year, and has no prospect of being in it in the near or distant future. Clark carps and Pierre pontifi- cates and Broadbent issues broadsides. And factories close because Canada's prices are too high because Canada's wages are too high and because Canada's production is too low, Many people -- mostly young people -- rejoice at our release from the slavery of the "work ethic," even though they don't really know what it means. To niy generation it merely meant doing an honest day's work for a day's pay. Today's generation ranks the work ethic with slavery, racism and having a bath Saturday night, whether you need it or not, all the trappings of a vicious, misguided past. So be it, 'It's their funeral, not mine. They are the ones who will be paying the horrendous taxes for welfare, medicare, unem- ployment insurance and indexed pensions for civil servants when 1 am sporting about in the Elysium Fields with a couple or three nymphs. What with the half-hour coffee break twice a day, the calling in sick when you have a hangover, the sneaking off at noon Friday for the weekend, and various other little games, which you know about as well as I, we are turning into a nation of layabouts, And we're already beginning to pay the price. Add to this incipient separa- tist and the stranglehold of the mandarins on the wafflers at Peking -on -the -Rideau Canal, and you can see why I, and many another honest Canadian, look forward to another federal elec- tion with a certain lugubrious- ness, It seems to be a question of "turn the rascals out" or "turn the turkeys in," Nuff said.

HUTCHINSON Manager 20—THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 22, 1978 Madill Teacher Interview: Mr. Wilson Trying to get a straight answer out of Mr, Wilson is a near to impossible feat. AsJ him where he was born and he'll reply "on the west side of a Hobbit Hill," Ask him again and he'll say, "Well 1 was never born actually". Finally after a number of clever questions 1 managed to pin point his childhood home to somewhere in the state of California U.S.A. His family moved to Canada when he was in his early teens. He attended Wh eable highschool in London and later majored in psychology • at U.W.O. Mr, Wilson first taught in Sudbury, then Sarnia, North York (where he was librarian) and finally Madill where he now teaches English. Mr. Wilson thinks F.E.Madill is the best secondary school in Huron County. It's certainly lucky he does because he travels a total of eighty-two miles (round trip) from Exeter to school each day. He says he doesn't mind the drive as it helps him prepare for the day ahead. Mr. Wilson enjoys music and has a record collection now mounting eight to ten thousand records. He also enjoys reading and promotion work. Mr. Wilson openly admits being a male 'chauvinist. Though he does concede "that behind every successful man there is a good woman," he also believes "That bchindcvery unsuccessful man there is an evil woman." "A woman", he says "can make or break a man", but she more often makes it her business to break him. On the ladder of success a man often gets his fingers stepped on by a ruthless woman on her way to the top. "A good woman'', he insisted should be able to run things and still maintain the male ego. '('here should be equality between men and equality between women, but not between the two. "Otherwise all people are born equal, its just that some people are more equal than others", i retorted. "That's right", he. said. Does he really mean it of is he just trying to make us think? 1 wonder? Marni Walsh 12H Student Council The Student Council • It W \A Mirror interviews Mr. Wilson 1977-'78 has been very active and very successful, (so far!). There have been many activities this year, especially since the Winter Carnival didn't have to be cancelled. The Executive of the Council includes: President - Mary Eadie, Vice -President - Sally LeVan, Assistant to the President,' and Assistant to the Vice are Ansley Currie and David Bennett (respectively). Treasurer is Carol Jamieson and the Secretary is Janice Guest. There is also the Activities Council, Athletic Council, Tuck -Shop and Lounge Managers and forty-three class reps -- one from every homeroom. There have been school dances every month, excluding exam months, and a profit has been realized from every one• In October, with visiting football and basketball teams, we had a Purple and White Day and a Pep Rally. November saw "milk moustache" spotters in the cafeteria. in December there was an entry from F.E,Madill S.S. in the Wingham Santa Claus Parade, the Lucknow Band entertained us, and a well - organized Christmas Assembly was presented. January was a good month. There were foul snow days, but the Carnival missed all of them and managed to happen during the most beautiful week of the wirier. There were short periods Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in order to have time for events such as the Leg Contest, Tr,ic,ycic Races, "Three - Legged Race (outside), Student - Teacher Broomball game -- followed by free skating, Tug -of - War (outside) and the famed and fa ulous "Gong Show", almost live, starring Chucky Barrie (Jim Blackwell). The last day was Greaser Day. To end the Carnival, which, for the first time in three years didn't get snowed or thawed . out, "Vehicle" performed for our school . dance, Joanne Wood, the Snow Queen was crowned. Also, during both lunches in the Student Lounge every day, "Golden Oldie" movies were shown. The Council hasn't planned anything for February yet, aside from the dance on the 24th. There of is something to look forward to in March there are only nine regular school days, April will be elections month for a new student council -- which will keep everyone busy. The drama club is presenting their spring produc- tion in May and the Formal is Saturday, May 27th (guys get your date lined up!). The Student Council has been doing an excellent job this year and desesrves praise for it's sonmetinies unnoticed and tinme- consuniing efforts.
