(Standard Photo) WEDNESDAY,MARCH 8,1978 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: 20 Cents Volume 88 - No. 10 Blyth had surplus in 77 Centennial year was not as expensive as was expected by many of Blyth councillors. The clerk treasurer's report presented at council Monday night indicated a credit of $8,767,43. The credit stems from costs being under budget for the year. Fire, roads, water, centennial and recreation costs were below the budget figures set for 1977. The village books are presently being audited and a full financial report will be published in the near future. Discussion centred around what roads arein tired of general repair and it was suggested by Reeve Don Noble that attention be first given to drains. "People ttre more concerned with drainage than paving" said councillors Albert Wasson. Council decided to extend the drainage system from the corner of Mor't'is and McConnell streets to as far south as the engineer's report will allow. With funds left over, repair of the road section from County road 25 to Hamilton street will be undertaken. It was finally recommended that council wait till spring before recommending repairs to the roads. A levy of $1,248 was ordered paid to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. The levy is applied to all municipalities in the flood plain arca. Blyth is 30 percent in the arca. A. $400 grant was issued to the Blyth Horticultural Society for one year. The Belgravc, Brussels Blyth School Fair Board received a gt`ant of $30. A building permit was passed for Gail King to build a lean to for garden equipment storage and to renovate the exisiting garage for a workshop. Separate hook up for hydro and water is planned for the workshop. The building permit in is now subject to approval from the Huron County Planning department. Council was informed of the results of a site meeting for the Ontario Housing Project held February 28. Only general cleanup and minor deficiencies are left to finish. On March 31 the first of three inspections will take place and the later inspections will take place at 2 to 3 week intervals. Occupancy is slated for May 1. Council has applied for additional funds for the sanitation site, cleanup. The provincial government has been petitioned for a further $478 and will okay the additional amount if there arc any leftover funds. The student program, Experience 78, has applications available in the schools and the clerk's office. The program supports employment of students involved with community based cultural projects. 'Fhc young Canada works. program sponsored by Canada Manpower has three applicants from Blyth. A letter was requested from council to support the athletic program the girls want to lead (Continued on Page 20) "The liquor vote is progressing", clerk Jane Badley told Morris township councillors at their meeting on Monday 'afternoon. Polling places have been se t for a township vote aimed at allowing a special liquor licence for the plowing match. The vote will be held April 10. The owner cif the Walton Inn also requested a vote, The ballot is a composite of eight questions to be answered. "If there's a committee for the wets and a committee for the drys, they're supposed to register with the clerk," Mrs. Badley said. The final dates for the revision of the voters lists are March 17 from 9 a.nl. to 8 p.m., March 20 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and March 23 from 9 - 6 and 7 • 9. Anybody who votes by p roxy for SOIlle011C else must do it at the clerk's office by five o'clock. Notice of the poll will go up after March 23. Council considered gravel tenders from Joe Kerr Ltd. of Winghanl at a bid of $46, 750, Donegan's Haulage of Listowel, at a bid of $46,250 and Radford'; Construction of Blyth at a bid of $45,750. Council accepted the Radford tender. The gravelling is to take place at the north end of Mroris on the first, second, third and fourth concessions to Highway 86. Council decided to donate $50 toward the Huron Plowmen's Association. Morris also will donate apples to the International Plowing Banquet in I lowick "Township in the fall. Morris is to meet with Grey and Brussels councils at a lire meeting on Wednesday. March 8 at 8 p.m. in the Brussels library.

LYLE, YOUNGBLUT OIL BURNER SALES SERVICE 'Your Oil Heating Contractor' BLYTH ONTARIO PHONE 523-9585 OS.% X78 -n HURON y ------- --_ From me to you Let's hear from you By Rhea Hamilton After talking to people at the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Convention last weekend we concluded there was a common problem concerning news coverage. 'You are damned if you do and damned if you don't." After 1 got various calls this week upon my return I decided it is all the more important that the newspaper and the community co-operate in order to be of service to the readers. Since THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 8, 1978 —3 October we and plainly I have encouraged constructive -criticism of the Blyth Standard and in a few cases received it graceously and tried to remedy the offensive situation. But all. too often the problems people have when trying to read and understand the newspaper and community events listed within are kept quiet and or talked up on the street instead of taking the complaint or suggestion to the paper, We, do have people here who Teachers losing money By Jeff Seddon in the Goderich Signal Star The economic realities of a strike are beginning to have their effects on many of Huron County's 273 secondary school teachers. Faced with paychecks any where from 50 to 80 percent less than normal, teachers now are forced to pay for their convictions. The economic warfare is a one sided battle. The board of education can only hope that teachers suffering through per- sonal financial problems , as a result of the strike will begin to voice that concern to their ne- gotiating teams and the Ontario Secondary School Teacher Federation (OSSTF). The board members hopefully will not be pleased by the problems the teachers face but still must use that weapon to their advantage hoping teachers give in and return to work. The teachers on the other hand may have prepared for the strike through savings or from second household incomes their spouses have and will be able to weather the storm. Many have not, however, and are now trying any means of securing income to carry them through the strike period. Some teachers have managed to find part time work to help pay monthly bills that are beyond the means of strike pay. A teacher who is at the top of the county pay scale will gross $25,000 a year under the new contract taking honk approximately $2,000 a month in gross pay. The OSSTF pays the striking teachers from a strike fund but the amount is nominal. The pay is $15 a clay which now gives a teacher $300 a month gross pay, The huge salary cut shows clearly that teachers are willing to pay dearly for their beliefs and requests of the board. Many teachers have tried to increase their strike pay by seeking work but have found that labor problems the country faces are real, The fact of the platter is there just aren't many jobs available even for someone wil- ling to do anything. Sonie teachers have been to their friendly banker to float short term loans to help pay the bills at the end of the month. A group of teachers have even banded together and opened an interior decorating service. The teachers advertise reasonable rates for painting, wallpapering and other such chores that homeowners have.. Students who are concerned that their year will suffer as a result of the strike have made it clear they would like tutoring, but the teachers cannot benefit from that need. The OSSTF arn- nouneed it is in favor of .teach ,ers tutn'irng students but not for money. The federation claims that if a teacher tutors for money he may as well be in the classroom teaching. The teachers, and the board have both agreed that the strike is not over monetary problems. The salary increases were agreed upon months ago but failure to come up with a new contract means that teachers have so far been paid under the terms of last year's pact. The new salaries will be retroactive but the lost income the teachers suffered as a result of the strike will never be recovered. A strike that started over a non monetary issue may soon become a monetary issue for teachers with paychecks that normally would be their deductions. care about what you think and we would dearly enjoy making this paper something a majority, if not everyone, would be proud to call their village paper. By now you will have surmised we have a wee bit of a communi- cations. problem. And you are so right. It would appear we had a minor sports hockey tournament two weeks ago and we found out about the great event when a concerned and disappointed lady phoned wondering why we had not covered it, The answer lay in the plainfact we were not told and that was even al, ter we had phoned the arena and were told the schedule we carry was not available clue to the ' many changes that can occur between publication and • the events themselves, Fine and dandy. We missed an important event for the youngsters who work hard to play in these games, And for the concerned parents and coaches who take so much time and care toteach these kips u►e rignt and wrong of playing hockey and in turn teach them a bit about life. Another little tidbit that came to my attention was the name of the paper. We call the paper the Blyth Standard but someone kindly pointed out that since the change of ownership, the paper has never once had the name of Blyth on the front of the paper. Upon checking this problem out 1 found out that the Village name ;Blythi has been omitted from the paper's heading since 1974. A solid observation after four years, but a wrong observation concerning the reasons why the change and who to blanie if that is what is required.. Plans have been underway for some time to rearrange the mast head so that it will include the name of the village. Now this is all silly,. sometimes, hea ring items like, the nano of the village left oft' the paper but little things like that slake the paper yours. if you have li ttic things or big things that bother you about the paper please do not hesitate to tell us. In case some of you have not been into our office we are not ogres and are amiable enough to thank you for any tips you phone .or bring in. Enough chastising you dear reader. We work hard to serve you and will continue to do so in the future. Another item that would tie your hair in knots was the inviting turnout for the cross country ski-a-thon held in Blyth for the Blyth Centre for the ,Arts. Although only five people turned out the day was sunny and I am sure if more advance' notice had been given more could have participated. For all you who are lovers of fast paced local hockey, the Blyth Lions Novice hockey tournament will be held on Friday, March 17 and Saturday March 18. it will involve eight teams and calls for some support from all of you fans. P.S. We noticed this event in a news items brought in. We are Irvine. With the Guide, you can do it. The income tax return has been improved this year, making it easier for you to do it yourself. And to make it even easier, read the six basic steps in the Guide. You'll probably find all you need to know there. But if you have any additional questions, you'll find the answers in the detailed portion of the Guide. And remember: 1. Include all your original receipts. 2. Double check your return before mailing it. If you have a refund coming, you'll get it sooner if your tax form has been done accurately. Go ahead! You can do it.

Registration Number 1319 • The seal hunt The seal hunt in Newfoundland was offically started with a prayer and a song and generated much excitement among the 4,000 people there. With all the antagonism generated towards the seal hunters it is little wonder that so many look towards to the next few weeks with anxiety. The situation with the seal hunt has become a bandwagon and everyone is ready to condemn the hunters for their barbaric methods of making a living out there in the frozen regions of the St. Lawrence. There are always two sides to every story and in this case the other side has become conveniently misplaced among the press releases from the Green Peace organizers. The media, scenting a good story, has eagerly grabbed at the show business personalities who profess to know what 'is going on and want to stop the hunt. What the rest of the world is failing to understand is the hunters' plight the rest of the year. The fortune the sealers are reported to make during the hunt is the only income that the people make for the whole year. The two or three thousand dollar windfall the hunters make is peanuts to what the average household budgets over a year. Green Pace's contention that the number in the seal herds are windling below healthy standards seems to be propaganda that the Newfoundland government is trying to clear up'. If the herds did dwindle beyond repair the hunters would be unemployed and it's unlikely that they'd destroy their own livelihood this way. If we do not retain our shares in the seal fur market that would not stop other countries from doing so. The seals would still be harvested and profits made, but not by Newfoundland. The seal hunt will always be a topic for concerned individuals to hash over but as long as the hunt is managed in a conscientious manner and the herds are maintained in an ecological sound fashion the world should look to other areas of concern;.such as starving and abused children, in their own countries. To the editor: Another side on the dogs Although it is not a matter of extreme importance, I feel something should be said in defense of the Village Council's warnirg - "Dogs running at large will be shot". - Since the previous writers to your column arc non -village residents, they are at a disadvantage because they do not know what prompted the Council's 'drastic' notice in the paper. It is my belief that the warning was issued as a result of a series of incidents which ended in the death of a wild dog near our home a month ago. For the past few months the children on our street (and others) were badly frightened by a group of dogs as they walked to - school or played near their h ones. In fact, some children would go to school only when accompanied by an adult,These same • dogs pestered the tied -up pets of our neighbours, sent early -morning paperboys racing into convenient homes, and with bared teeth, caused an adult to protect himself with a length of rope until he reached his vehicle. For some time we had endured the nuisance, thinking that someone must own the dogs and would eventually tend to them. However, after the incidents mentioned above were reported, and following some invesigation in the area in, which the incidents occurred, it became evident that a. group of wild dogs had taken up residence in a nearby vacant lot an'd were a definite menace, if not a danger to the residents. It was at this point that (Continued on Page 17) Our option Day by day Claude Ryan seems to be growing closer to the leadership of the Quebec Liberal Party and while most 'Canadians outside that province see him as something of a saviour, most of us know little about the man's actual policies. Weekend poll results showed that for the first time the Quebec Liberals have overtaken the Parti Quebecoisin popularity which means that if Mr. Ryan goes on:towin the leadership as expected, he could someday become the premier of the province. But, after the celebrations die down in the rest of Canada, we may find out that Mr. Ryan is not the saviour we sought. We tend to think of federalists as federalists yet they cone in many different shapes and colours. While we tend to think of Prime Minister Trudeau and Mr. Ryan as being on the sante side in this black and wllite battle, actually they are miles apart in their view of the way Quebec fits into Canada. it's conceivable that if M. Trudeau remains prime minister and if Mr. Ryan gains the top office in his province, we: night actually see more squabbling than we do at present. Mr. Ryan is very much a Quebec nationalist. He's been an eloquent speaker on behalf of the Quebec people, one of the few voices in Quebec that has been heard regularly in English Canada. He is respected i both languages. But he is also a proponent of a special role for Quebec within Canada (or is as far as one can believe from reading feature articles about him). He sees Quebec as a homeland for the French speaking people of Canada and as such wants greater powers for its government. In effect, he wants the old two _nations policy. Prime Minister Trudeau has never been a nationalist in the Quebec sense of the word. He has tried to raise the French and English in Canada to the same level, to bring in equality, and unity not increase the two solitudes. What we face then are three alternatives, championed by three respected men. Rene Levesque offers separation and economic association. Mr. Ryan offers a special status for Quebec, one step short of :Mr, Leve'sque's plan but probably closer to it than to Mr. Trudeau's concept of a i ountry from sca to sea where people of both !languages could feel at home. i There are people ,wlio would say that there are really only two alternatives, that Mr. Trudeau's vision is already a failure. He has been blamed for the current problem because he has been "Inflexible" in his feelings of the way the country should be shaped. The keyword today seems to be compromise with a new constitution which would give new pwoers to the provinces. Redistribute the power, many claim, and all our problems would go away. Here is one sceptical voice against that argument. I look around and see what the provincial governments have done with the powers they already have and I see little reason to think that there is a reason to hope for any magic solutions if we pass them more power. Take a look at how the 'Ontario Government has thoroughly loused up education, regional government and land use planning.' Does it make you want to give it more things to louse up? I see little evidence that the provincial governments are any closer to the people than the federal government has been and shifting power from Ottawa to'Quebec City of Toronto doesn't seen like a real solution to anything. If someone was propcilsing shifting power all the way down to the municipal level then I might agree. Giving Quebec skcial status would accomplish only one p sitive thing: it would • have Quebecers hate uebec City instead of Ottawa. It would have any other bad effects. It would add to the alienation of the two language groups in Canlada, would build new walls of misunderstanding. I sat and discussed the Quebec situation last summer with a friend who grew up in Quebec. He held that Trudeau's bilingualism policy had been a failure and should never have been tried in the first place. I admitted it may have been a failure, but I couldn't agree that it shouldn't have been tried, Mr. Trudeau wanted a country where people of either language could feel at home at least when dealing with their government. There have been some who tried to make it seem .there was a gigantic plot to make everyone in the country speak both languages. I heard nothing of that kind.The policy was simply one that would allow an English Canadian to go into a governmeant office in Trois_Rivieres and be (Continued on Page 11) ,, Mary Koorstanje with her creations Walton school won't close About 35 Walton and Scaforth arca parents in the audience breathed a sigh of relief Monday afternoon as the Huron County Board of Education voted down a motion to study the closing of Walton Public. School. The notion called on the board to make a decision by its April meeting. Trustee John Henderson of McKillop made the motion as part of his fiscal and property committee report. Included in the recommendation was the transfer of WPS students to Scaforth Public School and of SPS Grade 8 classes to Scaforth District High School, Opposition to further study was summed up by Zurich trustee Herb Turkheinl when he called it "a waste of time. A big part of further study would be consul- tation and it's quite obvious the ratepayers don't want this school closed." • Mr. Henderson said $53,6 86 would be saved by closing the Walton school, including roof repairs, secretarial costs of $1193, plant operation of $8075 and teacher salaries of $31,757. The amounts were disputed by Goderich trustee Dorothy Wallace who pointed out that the school roof would have to be fixed and the building maintained even if the school was empty. Winghani trustee Jack Alexander got support for his motion asking the Henderson committer to review school boundaries aid transportation route throughout the county. Mr. Alexander, a . member of the Henderson committee along with Brussels trustee Don McDonald in effect disassociated themselves from the Walton school recom- mendation. The closing of the Walton school would save $1,18 on the tax bill for his 200 acre farm, Mr. McDonald told' the board. He disputed Mr, Henderson's claim that parents opposed to closing the school didn't represent a cross section and weren't the same people who wanted full facilities for their children when schools were cent'ali zed seven years ago. After vacating the chair, trustee John Elliott of Blyth repeated that he'd like the committee to look at all boundaries in the county before touching physical facilities. The board appointed someone to study boundaries three years ago and nothing has been done, countered Mr. Henderson. The board had asked his committee to review enrolment and then refused to even study one recommendation. "We're lost now," the McKillop trustee said. The board did agree to study aid make a decision by April on the Henderson committee's two other recommendations, boundary adjustments that would' see some Brussels Public School students attend E. Wawanosh Publie School and all Hullett Township secondary school students attend CHSS in Clinton. Spokesman for the 'Walton delegation was former trustee and board chairman' Wilfred Shortreed.

Management can prevent erosion, F of A hears went into corn that now have tremendous erosion problems fromcorn being planted year after year on side hills, Most of' the erosion losses, he said, are in a • two to four week period in the spring during runoff. During the rest of the year there is crop cover. The first year corn is planted on land the erosion may he not be great because there is a good soil structure but as corn crop after corn crop is planted, the amount of vegetable matter in the soil decreases staking it easier to -wash away in heavy runoff. Pollution from livestock operations is not as big a problem as it often appears, Dr. Franks said. Livestock pollution is very visible and thus causes concern. He said that new facilities built 'should have some kind of manure disposal system to keep pollution out of the water stream but if the government wants farmers to change their existing systems, he feels the government should provide some of the money. But the good farm manager is not causing pollution problems either from livestock or from erosion, he stressed. "Pollution starts at' home," In other business at the meeting, representatives of the Huron County Board of Education were present to answer questions about the current impasse in contract negotiations with Huron County Secondary School tcachcrs, John Elliott, board chairman, Herb Turkheint and -Clarence MacDonald provided information on the two issues of the strike, teacher workload and sick -leave gratuity. Since there were no representatives of the teachers' side of the dispute present, the - meeting did not result in any action to support one side or another in the dispute. Gcrry Fortune reported on the successful bus trip to Ottawa wich saw 46 people fromHuron, Perth and Bruce counties (21 from Huron) attend the farmers meeting in connection with the National Food Policy Conference, Good farm mangement is the key both to preventing erosion problems on farms and reducing farm originated pollution of the Great Lakes water basin, Dr. Dick Franks of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Foods Pesticide Lab told the monthly meeting of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture in Hensall Thursday night. Dr. Franks was speaking on the subject of the Pollution from Land Use Activities Reference Group (PLUARG) which was formed under the auspices of the Inter- national Joint Commission to look into pollution problems in the Great Lakes. He warned the farmer's present that if we don't do something to improve the quality of water in the Great Lakes basin, we may survive, but future generations won't, Once the Great Lakes get in bad shape, he said, it will take a long time to bring them back. It's better to stop pollution before it gets into the water system. During the speech Dr, Franks was generally very sympathetic to the concerns and problems of farmers but he said that while farmers like .to be independent they have to remember that we are all dependent on each other. He is often criticized, he said, by farmers who have the feeling that steps to curb pollution and erosion will cost the farmers more. stoney, ''But if we don't (10 something about it" he said, "farmers won't be able to stake any stoney becatisel many won't have any land." Erosion, he said, is a rapidly growing problem in southern Ontario and said that on a recent airplane trip over Huron County he could see where the snow had turned brown because of wind erosion. He blamed modern cropping practices for many erosion problems and said government has been as much to blame as anyone in urging farmers "to grow corn, corn, corn," He said in Wellington county he has seen many farms that were very good before they in student enrolment, Mr, Eckert noted that not much mention had been made about maintaining and ' improving the quality of programs and services but said he obser•ved,in retrospect normal attrition should take care of the rest." Mr. Murray's fourth motion was approved by the board with trustees Michael Connolly and David 'Teahenl objecting to the motion which called for a system staffing formula to be used a s a planning base by administration to allocate the remaining staff for September of 1978.

Mr. Eckert said no consolidation of schools, no closing has been recommended and to the people in the community this means we are maintaining quality.

WINGHAM "SALE; BACKED BY SERVICE" PHONE 357.1416 ri 10—THE BLYTH STANDARD,MARCH 8,1978 Explain marketing boards At the Huron -Perth Presbytery of the United Church meeting recently at Clinton, the Division of Mission in Canada presented a special panel on "Farm niarket- ing Boards. Mrs, Evelyn Demaray introduced the subject and panel members stating that the General Council of the United Church has gone on record as affirming" the principles upon which marketing boards arc es- tablished. The council has recommended that- the constituency of the church be'informed, in order to promote understanding, support, and approval of both the prod- ucers and consumers for the implementation of these principl- es. A farm marketing board was defined as a compulsory horizont- al marketing organization for primary and processed natural products under government dele- gated authority. The four products discussed were milk, hogs, eggs, and white beans. Panel members were John Campbell, Bayfield, chairman of Huron County Milk Committee, Adrian Vos, of Blyth a committee- man with the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board; 13il1 fickle of Exeter, past director of the Ontario Egg Producers Mark- eting Board and 0 past director of CIMA.; and Murray Cardiff, Vice-chairman of the White Bean Produce; 5 Marketing i3oard. Each speaker ably gave back- ground information on his part- icular subject, followed by a question and answer period. Some facts revealed in the discussion were that in Canada it takes only six minutes work to buy a litre of milk, nine minutes work will buy 1 dozen eggs, 18% of disposable income is spent on food of which farmers receive 38% 4%oof that 18% food cost is spent in restaurants.

The total for 1977 was $349,116,98 to the Mission and Service Fund which was a 4.9% increase. 'I'Ite sobering fact is that this increase is not sufficient to keep pace with inflation, thus total givings have decreased. The National goal for 1978 is $17,600,000. Of this, $4,100,000 is the portion for world mission, which is not a lot considering that one million dollars will buy only 45 miles of lamp standards, or in one eye -sweep, a runway at an airport.

It would allow people to hear French language television in London or Winnipeg the sante as English Canadians in Montreal have always been able to hear their own language spoken. There may have been some government fault in the way the policy has been implemented but if it has failcd, l think it is we the people who have failed as much as anyone. We have been so stubborn, so hard that we have refused to budge an inch from our old ways of distrust and misunder- standing. We would rather hate the other language and draw apart than understand the needs of others and draw together. lf Mr. Trudeau has failed in his bilingualism policy, it has been because he over estimated the willingness of Canadians to beloving and understanding. Unlike Mr. Ryan and Mr. Levesque whose vision it is to build more walls between Quebec and the rest of the country, Mr. Trudeau has tried to bring French Canadians, whether they live in 'Montreal, Moncton, New Brunswick or St. Boniface, Manitoba together with English Canadians no matter where they live in Canada, to stake on understanding, united nation; a model for the brotherhood o1' 0100. If this mission fails, it will indeed be a step backward for peace and understanding because if we in Canada with all our similarities, with all our good fortune chose to accentuate our difference rather than recognize our similarities, what hope is there for peace betwecnArab and .leWW.or black and white in Africa.

Hamm's Car Sales Ltd. ;Blyth; Ont, Phone 523-9581 12 -THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 8,1978 MVCA budget up 2'O% for '78 Members of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority meeting in Wroxeter gave their approval, without discussion or opposition, to a proposed three quarter million dollar budget for the authority in 1978. The budge, at $765,818, is 20 per cent higher than last year's budget of $640,200, but the portion to be raised by general levy is up only about six per cent. Approximately half the increase,is accounted for by a higher budget figure for down- stream improvements to the Listowel conduit. The authority has set aside $263,618 for the job this year, with approximately $50,000 of the total to come from Listowel as special benefit ing municipality. Last year $200,000 was budgeted for that project but most ofthernoney reverted to the government when the work was postponed, Other areas which have gone up include administration, up $8,000 to $116,000; gcncral maintenance, upto $65,000 from $50,000 to more accurately reflect last year's actual expenditures of $64,668; and water and related land management, up almost $30,000 to about $247,000. Of the total budget $110,395 is to be raised by a gcncral levy on municipalities in the water shed; that is upfront $104,150 last year. A further $74,524 is to conte Front special !evics assessed against municipalities benefit' ing from particular projects; $40,000 from gate receipts at the Falls Reserve conservation arca; $5,000 from sundry revenues and the remainder, some $536.001), from provincial government grants. Conduit in Doubt Although planned repairs to the downstream section of the Listowel conduit slake up more than one third of the budget, there is still some doubt (he work will go ahead this year. Doug 'Trench, the new reprc- scntative from Listowel on the authority taking the place ()I' Vines Judge. who resigned, said the town is not sure it will he able to al'fori! its share-ol'the job since it might be facing a hefty hill fin. bridge replacement. The MTC conducted a study on the bridges in Listowel last year and while the town hasn't received the report from that study yet it is bracing itself for the worst, he said. • "11 the bridges are turned down it's a whole new bailganlc," he told the other members, "ll' loth bridges must be replaced Listowel might not be able to .afford anything else." He pointed out that the portion of the conduit in the town is "mostly bridge", 'i'hc bridges were built in 1912 when "1 don't know if Ford even had a one ton truck'', he said. "Now we have 80 ton trucks with air • brakes." The conservation authority also plans to approach the ministry of natural resources this year for money to complete a detailed ngineering study on the down- town section of the conduit. This would consist of preparing tender documents for the next phase of construction, the conduit -itself, but doesn't mean construction would start next year, MVCA Resources Manager tan Deslauriers told the meeting. Since the Listowel conduit is considered a special project much of the stoney budgeted for it would again revert to the province if the job docs not go ahead this year and could not be used for other projeCts, R. D. Hunter, a representative from the regional conservation authorities branch in London told the members. - Mr. Deslauriers Said yesterday as far as the authority is concerned work on the down- stream improvements will start this year. All necessary approvals, including that of Listowel, have been given and unless the reports on the bridges are very bad there should be no holdup, he said. Gorrie Dam Another project the authority had hoped to get underway this year, the replacement of the washed-out Gorrie Dam, appears to be back on the shelf for lack of ministry funding. At its general meeting in December the authority singled out the dans as a priority project but last Friday afternoon Chairman Lorne Murray told Howick Reeve Harold Robinson: "We spent all morning talking on the Gorrie Dam but I've nothing concrete to tell you yet." The budget for this year contains only $3,000 for detailed design work on the dam. Authority members approved raising the $200,000 spending limit on another major project, the acquisition of land in the Turnbcrry floodplain. Mr, Deslauriers explained the MVCA is approaching the $200,000 limit already. and a bad flood this year could put it over. He said the assessed value of the remaining "priority one" properties, those which are liable to the worst flooding, is around $85-$86,000, with the cost of Pro Life wants child abuse program continued On February 27 the executive of the Winghanl Voice For Life group stet al the home oI' Mrs. Ricahrd Campeau, Adrian Kcct in charge.

Turnbcrry Township must give its approval to any new spending in the floodplain and the revised limit will be set in consultation with that council, Mr, Deslauriers added. The authority is also working toward a water basin study on the watershed of the Nine Mile River around Lucknow, he said. It plans to approach the natural resources ministry for cooperation in an inter -ministerial study. Conservation authorities try to get the ministry involved in studies on large water basins, he explained later, "because they have the staff". Fill Line Mapping Following some heated discussion the members gave their approval to, a motion that completed fill lint slapping be registered with the province. The slapping, which warns of development hazards in rural areas, must be approved by the affected municipal council and the local MPP before it can be registered. Mr. Deslauriers described the slapping as basically permissive rather than restrictive. It is intended to encourage safe development, not to stop develop- ment Ile said. He told the members less than 10 per cent of applications for building permits would fall into areas designated as potentially hazardous on the slaps and that of these probably nine out of 10 could be approved anyway, The neaps warn of floodplain and unstable soils to protect present and future property owners from unsafe development, he said, and the authority can, once a map is registered; prevent building in a location it can prove is likely to be unsafe. Some municipal councillors on the authority' were unhappy with the idea, suggesting it restricts the ability of the township councils to .make their own decisions. Mr. Deslauriers said seven councils have already accepted the fill line mapping and "we're working on an eighth", but he noted no Perth County minicipali- ties have yet accepted it. They have been cautioned by their county planner it takes away local autonomy, he said. Lorne Murray of Maryborough Township was again acclaimed to the position of chairman of the authority for 1978. The vice chairman's spot, vacated by the resignation of Mr. Judge, was filled by Da.ve Gower of Goderich who also ran unopposed. Mr. Gower was formerly chairman the water management advisory board. Bill Crump of Lucknow • was elected as the new chairman of that board in a close race with Jack Alexander of Wingham. The vote was tied after the first ballot forcing Mr. Murray to break the • tic. He gave the nod to Mr. Crump, explaining Mr. Alexander had formerly chaired that advisory board and the authority prefers to have members move around onto different boards. Ross Taylor of East Wawanosh was elected chairman of the reforestation, land use and wild- life advisory board over George Bridge of Palmerston. Mr. Robinson of Howick Township was elected over Russell Kernighan of Colborne Township and Mr. Alexander to finish Allan Ross' uncompleted term as chairman of the conser- vation areas advisory board.

The president Jack Roorda opened the meeting by extending a hearty welcome to all and then lead the group in hymn and read the selections from the Bible. The minutes of the September meeting were read by Cees Dykstra and approved and it was also learned that the books were in good order and new auditors were appointed for the next fiscal year. The principal, RalphSchuurman reported on the school's activities as they had happened in the school year so far. He reported an enrollment of 214 pupils from kindergarten through to Grade 8. He also noted that Kindergarten is a new venture and is run on alternate days, Monday, Wednesday and Friday with Miss Judy Datema as teacher. An active parent -pupil help program was started again in October for those pupils who are having difficulty with their studies, particularly in thc areas of mathematics 'rind reading. Mrs. H. Stryker, Mrs. A. Kaastra and Mrs. C. Kuiper come in two mornings a week and help on a voluntary basis. This is much appreciated by all, The pupils benefit greatly from this type of help. Also, entirely voluntary is the help received each Friday from Mrs. W. Shoemaker of Goderich and Mrs. J. Kassics of Clinton. These ladies do a lot of work with the children helping them take out their books on library day. In October a two -clay teacher's convention was attended by the entire staff at thc Christian High School in Hamilton. The Christmas card sale this fall was once more a success and monies from this provide a lot of little extras for the children, such as sports equipment. Since Christmas, the skating program has returned. Thanks must go to the Clinton Arena staff for letting the school use the facilities. Every Friday morning the junior and senior grades take turns for one:hour of skating and upon arrival at the school, the children are served a drink and hot dogs. It sure goes over well after an hour of skating and a walk to the arena and back. The proceeds of this goes towards the planned trip to Ottawa for the Grade 7 and 8 class. Tentatively this. trip has been planned for early June. So far the school has been fortunte to have had only six snow holidays. Compared to last winter this isn't much and also compared to the surrounding areas its not much either. The school is making plans to attend the. Fine Arts Festival which is held in conjunction with the Wood stock & District Christian Schools of which the Clinton School is a member. This festival is held every other spring in London and gives those pu, piss who are gifted in the areas of music, art, poetry and oral reading a chance to compete and learn from others. . Registration for the Kinder- garten children as well as the other classes will be held on March 7, 1978 from 1 to 3 p.m. in the school library. The Public Health Nurse will be in attendance. Schuurman also reported that a public announcement system and an automatic bell have been installed in the school, thanks to the generous donations to the penny boxes. These items prove to be great conveniences and are much appreciated by the staff, In spite of the snow days the teachers still found time to attend a Professional Development Da y in London on February 10. The teachers found this day very inspiring and rewarding. One of the speakers had as his Walton (Continued from Page 5) solve the Board's problem. In all li kclihood, any cost saving to the Board by closing Walton School would only be negated by the unmatured Debenture on the School, since the unpaid balance of the Debenture (both Principal and Interest) would become the total responsibility of the ratepayers of Huron County," the brief said and it went on to urge that the board study "present costs, projected enrolments and school attendance boundaries for all schools" before making any decision to close Walton Public, of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority.

By Rev. Earl St. Jean 1-luman beings often have the bounce of a tennis ball. A very scholarly word for bounce is resilience. The moment man loses his bounce one may say the grave has already made its claim. Much of our bounce may disappear long before the body is feeble, the mind fnlzzy, the eye dim and the car useless. The claim of the grave is not always at death. Many die when their ability to give meaning and purpose to life is : gone, The obituary column announces funerals not deaths. Society sets such a high premium on happiness that a man may feel he has died if he has been by-passed by happiness. Emptiness, futility, passed -by are the tombstones of the living. Our society has found answers to millions of questions but it has no answer for the great riddle of life. A set of values which do not function in a new -set of circum- stances may push one perilously close to suicide, Unemployment now must be seen as such - a new set of circumstances. A set of values must be found which will function in these harsh circumstances. Tennyson's "Ulysses„ expresses a set of values for ancient tittles but he contrasts adventure with routine duty. Th is uneasy tension is maintained with a kind of truce at the very end. "How dull it is to pause to make an end, to rust unburnishcd, not to shine in use! As 1ho` to breathe were life." Even retirement is seen as a threat. Toil, productivity, adventure, creativity are plan's claim to self-esteem. This is mall's creed as he punches the time clock for the last time yet he must live by new values in new circumstances. " - You and 1 are old; Old age has yet its honour and its toil: Death closes all, but something ere to end, Some work of noble note may yet be done, Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods," Today tension exists between works and leisure. The tension is increased because work is to buy leisure. Work also is in tension with a youtfllU1 work force. The work -or -starve dictum must give way to make -way -for -youth. The clashing of values seems to belong to all ages in history. In ancient tinges men set twO worlds in vices. Onc was practical and simple- physical, '1'hc other was beyond - metaphysical. This made it possible to change values quickly if you went from the physical to beyond, We can easily see where men can be happy, practical and bouncy in one world and set of circumstances, (Change ' these and he must change his values as if he were going beyond the world he knows.) 'Tennyson concludes his case with a plea for bounce or resilience. Onc must weather the slings and arrows of fickle fate. One mut have meaning and outrageous age. Not to yield to purpose under all circumstances, emptiness, withdrawl or despair. "We are not that strength Men must not go about with which in old days moved earth shrivelled hearts, stridelcss and heaven; that which we arc, plodding, cheerless voice or we are; One equal camper of bloodshot eyes, heroic hearts, made weak by time Come my friends, and fate, but strong in will 'Tis not too late to seek a newer To strive, to seek, to find, and not world beyond every time clock. to yield." Not to yield to one dictum or set of values for one set of circumstances only. Not to yield to the sli ngs and arrows of an Enjoy flower show in Toronto Residents of Blyth and area 39 of them plainly Horticultural members, hoarded a bus Wednesday morning to attend the Flower Show, held in the automotive building at the CNE grounds, Toronto, A breathtaking sight greeted the visitors ti pon entering the plain entrance.

BLYTH 5: ' 1.00 STORE THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 8,1978--15 Milk committee is smaller A reduction in the size of the Huron County Milk Committee was brought about Monday as a result of a major decrease in the number of milk producers in the county. In December, 1977 there were 593 milk producers in Huron County as compared to 815 in December, 1976, It is estimated the number of milk producers in Huron County 15 years ago was 1600. Chairman of the dairy farmer's annual meeting, John Campbell of Bayfield, read a proposal to a group of about 150 milk producers requesting a reduction in the size of the milk committee from 15 to.) 12 producers. The by-law was readily accepted by all but about five of those present. One opposer of the by-law said he felt the north end of the county was not adequately represented, The majority of the Hiolstein herds. are in the north, he said, and therefore he felt the milk producers from the north should have ample say. He felt the decision to reduce the numbersot committee members was made "at the top". "Why does the meeting have to be held in Cli nton?" he' asked, "Why not have it in the north end (of the county) where the producers are?" Campbell answered the question admitting the annual meeting does not necessarily have to be in clinton. He pointed out, however, the ministry of agriculture for the county is located in Clinton so that would seem the appropriate location for the milk producers to meet. Another man -from the floor stated the decision to reduce the number, of committee members was not made "at the top". The decision was made at other meetings, he said, because there are half as many milk producers as there used to be, He said if producers from the north of the county want 10 be heard they should nominate a representative in the next election to voice their opinions. Douglas Trewartha, secretary - treasurer for the 1-1uron milk producers, said after the meeting it was his opinion milk producers from all over the county are represented equally. He said the matter was not brought up again in the question and answer Ian Kennedy, who works in milk quality control for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and food, said the constant dccli nc in the number of milk producers in the county is a result of large operations' taking over the business. In the last year, however, he said the dccli;ne in the number of producers stems from a law passed by the Ontario Milk Market Board in 1977. As of September 1 of last year all milk producers have to produce in bulk using mechanical cooling systems, he said. He explained dairy farmers had shipped milk in 80-pouild cans in the past. These were manually handled and often cooled in unacceptable ways, such as in cold water troughs, he said, Now the milk is pumped into stainless steel tanks holding from 100 to several thousand pounds, Kennedy said. He explained that farmers were faced with eitlier producing in bulk, changing to cream production or quitting, and many quit due to the increase in costs. "The milk indsutry has had a difficult year," Kennedy told the dairy farmers. "Everyone is aware of it." Chairman of the Ontario Milk Marketing Baard, Ken McKinnon, told those at the meeting he was, "really amazed in the producer reduction in Huron county." He said the rest of the province have about half as many milk producers as • have existed but Huron County has about one-third. He blamed the high drop in the number of dairy farmers just recently to the high milk quota value, He \yarned farmers to produce the quota of milk set for , them by the marketing board and said they should not worry too much about over -producing' a little, "We've got g, to sell this product," he said. "Industry and individuals suffer more if dairy farmers under -produce." McKinnon said he does not feel the last year has been more difficult than any other year for the milk producers, In fact he said most people had more income than the previous year. "It's been a difficult year but not much more difficult than any year in the industry." he said. McKinnon, who is also the elected rcpresentat ive for the Huron, Bruce and Gi'ey region on the Ontario MarketingBloard as well as chairman of the Dairy Farmers of Canada, told the Workshop will meeting 8.2 percent of industrial milk in Canada comes from Ontario and Quebec under a national plan.

Pensioners, who not only qualify for an additional tax fredit because of age, but also because many such pensioners may not have been accustomed to filing income tax returns on a regular basis. Further, 1 have had enquiries with respect to the GAINS program of the Province. This is To the editor: (Continued from Page Al Council took action and for that we, in this immediate arca, are relieved and thankful. As for the warning in the paper, it obviously did appear to be worded rather harshly to some non -village folk, and to children with well•tended, although sometime wandering pets. et, -1 presume it was just that - a well-timed warning. It is agreed that any animal must be humanely destroy ed, but in this instance, the safety of our children came first. 1 am sure that discretion would be used before shooting any animal. However, if an animal is running at large and behaving strangely, the safety of the Control Officer should also be considered. Hopeftilly, the situation. will not arise again and the Council will not be forced to uphold their position on the issue. Part of the responsibility is still on us as pet -owners and village residents. In closing it is my hope that some light has been shed on the situation and the incidents that prompted the published warning.

The major piece of business transacted in the Ontario Legislature this week was the signing by the Premier of a $7 billion dollar deal for uranium, minutes after an emergency debate in the Legislature. Mr. Davis signed an order - in -council authorizing the - agree - ments between Ontario Hydro and two mining companies -- Denison Mines Limited and Preston Mines Limited. The contracts will give Hydro access to up to 200 million pounds of uranium oxide produced at Elliott Lake over a forty -year period, with Hydro and the producing companies splitting the difference between a cost plus price and prevailing world prices. - Mr. Davis rejected opposition arguments that the contracts involved huge windfall profits for the two companies, The profit to Denison is expected to be at least Due to difficulties the Blyth Leo Club's 2nd Anniversary has been Cancelled on March 11 The Dance will still be held on March 11 at the Blyth and District Community Centre, from 9 - 1 with music by "INBETWEEN" Admission is $2.50 with advance tickets and $3.00 at the door Tickets available from any Leo member Tfr vit* Jestximnt In Blyth Invites yon to Enjoy Country Style Meals - le a Relaxed Atmospheres• pray Specials .-.

Bill C�:I_.. by Smiley Curls were out, and pity the poor kid who had them naturally, She was a freak, Then the young devils wanted 10 wear cool clothes in the hot months, and June produced shorts that left nothing to the imagination on both sexes, bikini halters on the girls, bare feet in the classroom and finally, beachwear, Every bit of it "neat and tidy," This was followed by the Grease Age, or the Sleaze Era, plainly marked by denim, Buy a new pith' of jeans and 0 jacket, wash them, fade lheni, shrink 01001, scissor them so they had ragged fringes, teat' holes in them, patch them, and sew some provocative or scato- logical suggestion across the buttocks, This particular period blew away completely the "neat and tidy" euphemism. Greasy hair, scruffy beards, no makeup and general grubbiness were the order of the clay. Not a particularly pleasant age. Even I had to fight to avoid retching 00 occasion. And this particular movement dovetailed right into the new laws that lowered the drinking age to 1 8. In effect. it meant that kids from 14 up began to drink. Grade Eight girls Were arriving at high school dances with a mickey in their purses. It also tied into a ,new barrack -room lawyer attitude on the part of sonic of the tougher kids, They knew well that punishment lin' infringement of rules was almost a thing of the past. No strap, no detention and expulsion merely a welcome couple of weeks' holiday. Or screw school, I'll get a job, easy. Well, things have changed. For the better. The pendulum has swung. The kids are starting to dislike slobbishness. Only those W110 are born slobs are keeping it up. Girls are wearing makeup, culottes, skirts, even dresses. Wispy boys` beards are disappearing. Short- er, neater hair -cuts are popping up here and there. With jobs 0 lot tougher to obtain, the old cavalier attitude toward expulsion has moderated. The older kids are hanging in there rather grimly, knowing that, however 11111011 they hate school , it's better than being one of the great mass of the unemployed, out there in the snow. Whatever is causing it, the new look is a Welcome change after the sleaze days. Even my daughter, a graduate of the freaked -out look, is beginning to shed her tattered jeans for skirts and vests, smart sweaters, and anything else ladylike her mother will buy her. But knowing kids, I'm rather sanguine about the chances of the ` improvement remaining stable. Any day now, the boys are liable to start showing up in spats and shaven heads, the girls in corsets and high -laced bouts, like their grandmothers. Now, if only the young hien would get rid of those ugly Gay Nineties moustaches... According to a recent magazine article, this is going to be The Year of the Peacock, There is afoot a strong movement away from the grub and slob of the past decade or so toward sonic style and taste in clothes and appearance. I'II drink to that. As a high school teacher, i've been in the front line during the battles over clothes, hair Iengths'xposed navel, and such -like. Not as a participant — 1 was never unduly exercised over excesses — but rather as an observer. During the reigns of a couple of pretty conservative principals in a small town, 1 watched with some amusement, occasionally hilarity, their Canute -like efforts to stens the flood of horrors sweeping in from the cities. 1 think the first wave was longer Bair for . boys. Not the flowing tresses they sport today, many of them straight from the hair stylist, others with a hail• -brush 01. comb often in evidence. Heavens, no, The first rebels merely wanted to let their hair grow down to their collat'S. No way, Thcy were expelled, letter's were sent home, they were offered the price of a hair -cut, and generally harassed. Blit that was just the tip of the ice -berg. A side skirmish at the same time told teachers to keep their hair cut, wear a tie, shave off their beards (lady teachers, sonic of whorl had better beards than sonic of the men, didn't have to shave) and keep their shoes shined. 'then the niorc docile girls got inti the acs, with the emergence of the niini•skirt. None of tlic younger male teachers had the slightest objection, but sonic of ilie old maids of both sexes were rather horrified. I believe, if I recollect aright, that one benighted educator suggested all teachers carry ruler; and that skirts shorter than a 00110111 standard be forbidden. (Or ripped off, It might have been one of the young male teachers.) Beleaguered administrators tried grimly to hold the line, Boys were 'not to wear "ice-cream pants" or jeans. Girls must wear skirts. Then came the deluge. County school boards, made up of iiiothers and fathers as cowardly as 011 the other parents battling the new wave of attire and appearance, cut the ground from under tlic administrators by declaring that anything went as long as the student wits "neat and tidy" or some such cant phrase. Whani! Hair sprouted in all directions I'roni masculine adolescents. The girls hiked their skirts Higher or leaped into jeans. Granny glasses and Mother Hubbard dresses became do rigeur with the more advanced girls. Afro hair styles and Jesus beards marked the niorc hirsute, Hip -hugger jeans and the bra -less look were a is mode, Girls ironed their hair. 40/calr PA -4 SPol? See our early Spring Bargains!
