The Blyth Standard, 1978-03-22, Page 1WEDNESDAY,MARCH 22, 1978 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE. 20 Cents Volume 88 -- No. 12 TIKE CHAMPIONS—Ripley Tikes won the Lions Tike Tournament last weekend when they played against Blyth. The score was a close 5-2. The Blyth Lions sponsored the tournament which involved eight teams from around the country. Ripley played a game previous to this one where they won 13-0 against Zurich. Blyth gets OHRP grant Blyth was among the 12 municipalities which received grants under the Ontario Home Renewable program (OHRP). Blyth received $9,000. which has covered local applications that have been on file since December. Grants totalling $276,879. provide per capita grants to Ontario municipalities to administer directly as loans to homeowner occupants 10 repair their houses to an acceptable municipal minimum standard. The provincial program last year ran out of funds due to heavy response from home owners. The province had asked the village to forward funds to local applicants on condition that council would be reimbursed by the province when further funds became available this March, The cheque was received in late January and all applicants have been processed, according to clerk Larry Walsh. The prime objective of the program is the correction of faulty structural and sanitary conditions and the upgrading of plumbing, . heating, insulation and electrical systems of the owner occupant's home. OHRP is directly oriented to low and moderate income homeowners with a maximum annual income of $12,500. Loans of up to $7,500. can be given to eligible owner -occupants to bring their homes up to the standards adopted by their. municipality. A portion of the loan can be "forgiven" depend- ing upon the income of the recipient. interest rates vary from zero to eight per cent again depending on income. Blyth students miss school The current teacher's strike in Huron County is having a noticeable effect on at least one sector of the population - the students. Students have reacted to the strike in various ways, some taking it upon themselves to study as much as possible, others using it as an extended holiday. Most of the students are wishing for one thing - that the teachers would get back to work so they could get back to school. All of the students interviewed go to Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. Mary Ellen Vodden of Blyth, who is in Grade 11, said she's not doing too much, She said she's been doing housework and that she had also gone to Toronto for a few days. Easter Happy She said she thinks the strike is stupid and that the teachers should go back because a lot of Grade 13's are worried about getting their year. Mary Ellen plans to go back to school when the teachers return. Chris Battye of Blyth, a Grade 12 student has been working at the 5 cent to $1.00 store. She has a part-time job at'Baintons and has also been working at home, She said when the students first got out she did her homework all that week because she thought they were going to have to go back that week. She said she has an assignment to do now but she needs books and she also needs help from a teacher. She said she would like to know whether the students are going back to school or not. A female student who wished to remain anonymous said she was babysitting and working in a restaurant. She said she didn't know. what to think of the strike any more. "it seems one's just as much to blame as the other," she said. Dave Leibold of Blyth, a Grade 10 student, said he had been watching a lot of T.V. and has been working a little bit at his homework. He said right now it's a perfect balance between school and free activitiy. He said that he's hoping school Nvill get back pretty soon - within two or three weeks, although he thought both sides in the teacher - board dispute had valid points. Steven Howson of Blyth has been working at Howson's Mill while he has been oft' school. He had been working there on Saturdays and sometimes after school. Steven, who is in Grade 12, said he will likely go back to school but said it depends on whether he gets his year or not. "If 1 can't, 1 don't think 1 will, if 1 can get into Ridgetown College without it," he said. He said he hasn't been doing any homework, that he's just taking it as a holiday.

Gonzalo, age 6 Blyth students miss (Continued from Page 1) "I just figure if the teachers don't want to work, why should i?", he said. "They've got it too soft as it is now," he added. Sandy Marshall of R.R. 3, Blyth, a Grade 13 student, said he hasn't been doing too much. "I'm doing a little bit of reading. I've done maybe two or three hours of schoolwork." he said. He said he will be going back to school when the teachers do because he has to get his year. He wants to go to University in the fall. Kim Van Vliet of Blyth said she had been doing some downhill skiing, some cross-country skiing and that she also played cards a lot, She was taking a trip to Florida with her parents this week, Kim says she has opened her books once since the strike began and she says, "It can go on a little longer but not much longer." Kim doesn't really mind the strike. "If I was in Grade 13 1 wouldn't like it, but as it is, it's alright," she said. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 22, 1978 —3 From me to you It's up to us to conserve By Rhea Hamilton In this agcwlt:re we all have to be considerate and try and impose conserving conditions Up- on ourselves in order to keep the world better and cleaner place to live, the government helps in its own way, Ontario's soft drink industry has made a commitment to put 75% of its provincial pop sales in enviromentally beneficial refillable bottles by December 31, 1979. This committment by the in- dustry to a 75-25 ratio in favour of pop in retillabl bottles, is part of the change in the province's previously announced ban on non -refillable bottles, Instead of forcing us to buy refillable containers we now have a choice, "to pollute or not to pollute." If it were not for the fact that the demise of the pop can would decrease jobs in the can industry, many would be up in arms about the seeming compromise on the part of government and industry. But no one in this day of unemployment would like to encourage the ban of nonrefill- able containers at the cost of jobs. Therefore it is up to all of us to try and improve the situation by personally making the choice of buying envioromentally safe pro- ducts which includes the refillable bottles. The next step is uniform and recyclable liquor bottles. Another interesting point; it was announced this month that after April 1, 1978, only burnable food and drink containers may be' taken into the interior of Algon- quin Provincial .Park by canoe trippers and hikers. Only the park interior is affected by this new regulation. Organized campgrounds along Highway 60 within the park itself arc not inclued. Experimentation last year proved positive: Litter was reduced and the cost of garbage removal was lowered considerably. It is too bad the 'protect the environment' theme could not b e implemented in all provincial parks as well as municipal areas. Again think twice before litter- ing, it is your back yard and we have a job to do in keeping Canada clean. While thinking about Canada 7 read a very disturbing article in last Wednesday's Globe and Mail It would appear that Canadians visiting Veradera Beach, Cuba are showing off their childishness by dividing into sides and displaying to the Cubans the problems we have in Canada. The English vs the French. After a bad display of poor taste which involved the printing of anti -french posters and posting them on cabins,the situation sank lower when name calling ensued. Such a display should be kept in ones own country if people insist upon being unrealistic about the language system here. But to take this quarrel to another country and display such petty differences is both sickening and disgraceful. It is little wander the situation between the French and English Canadians has sunk so low, Consideration on both parts is called for and a lot of compromise and understanding. . We have a long way to go be fore we can hold up our heads in Cuba. People from other countries form their opinions about Canada from the behavior of Canadians in other countries, Actions speak louder than words and in this case they spoke loud and -clear.

Something for all of us to think about and give us some insight into the problem is the Declining Enrolment Brief of, the Ontario Public School Mens Teachers Federation that will be formally resented to Ontario's commission on declining Enrolment on April 12. The 45 recommendations in the brief are based on three considerations. That all young people, regardless of their ability or disability, should be provided with the opportunity for appropriate skill development and education. That local control of education be maintained through involvement of theeducation and taxpayer community. That Ontario has invested heavily in its educational system, in terms of human and physical resources, which must be maintained to the fullest extent. Of course we can't forget that cost cutting will continue to be necessary as enrolment declines. But fewer students in our schools is not cause for nothing .but alarm. The pessimism with which we veiw declining enrolment in our schools could be discarded in favour of optimism. We can all be looking forward to a reestablishment of values in our system and bear in mind that with the drop there will better one to one working situation between teachers and students. If this brief is any indication of the new goals for the education system we may have something to look forward to, for both our children and our children's children. The strike situation in Huron County will not last forever. When it is cleaned up we all hope for a better and more lasting relationship between teachers and board members and teachers and students. To the editor: Arthritis. Society says thank you I would like to thank the people of your area for the fine support we received from them at our recent Arthritis T.V. Special held on March 12th over CKNX Wingham, The public were most generous in their pledges toward Arthritis Research. I know all those who watched our program were thrilled with the excellent talent from all across the viewing area who helped to make the 1978 Special the most successful one we have yet produced, raising $16,831.00. Our appreciation to the Volunteers who manned phones, taking pledges and passing them along to the Studio. Unfortunately, we were unable to get all the pledges on the air and wish to express our regrets to those whose pledges were not read. Pledges are still being received at Box 999, Wingham and cheques should be made payable to the Arthritis Society. (Mrs.) Betty fanke Field Representative Bluewater Region A frightening look (By kcith Roulston) C.B.C. television Sunday night produced a frightening look at the future of Canada's economy with its Quarterly Report. The program predicted that by the end of the 1980's Canadians will not rank second in the world in standard of living as we have for so long, but won't even show up in'the top 10. The program had many explanations for why we've suddenly found ourselves in this position, but the biggest seems to be that we've been fooling ourselves about our own prosperity over the years. We simply couldn't go on at the old rate when we import huge amounts of goods and have nearly all our large industries controlled by other nations. Supporters of big business say that there is nothing wrong with the multi -national corporations that control so many aspects of production in the world today. One shouldn't look at the nationality of the owner, they'll argue whenever a Canadian government tries to do something about foreign ownership. We should simply be glad to have the industry and not care where its head office is located. The fallacy of this assumption is rapidly being proven of course in two ways. First of all, the big multi -national companies • are interested in profit and profit only and thus, when costs become too great in a country like Canada, they think nothing of moving operations to Asia or Latin America where they can easily get workers at cheap prices. Even Canadian controlled companies have abandoned their own country for cheap wage countries, The second fallacy is that these companies don't really have a nationality. Sure they may have their head office in Philadelphia, but that doesn't really make them Americans, the appologists for big business say. That too has been proven wrong. Canadians are learning today what people of the rest of the world have been saying for years: that the United States may not be an imperialist nation in the regular sense of the word, but through its octopus tenticals of big business it is exerting control over the whole western world. The evidence of 'the true nature of the American big businessman has been thee"re all along for us to see, but we in Canada have been so close to the Americans, so enjoying our high lifestyle, that:wc refused to admit it. I recently finished re -reading a book on one of the greatest American businessmen imperialists'of them all, though probably one you've never heard of. His name was Henry R. Luce and he was the man who, until his death 10 years ago, controlled the huge publishing empire of Tinie, Life, Fortune and Sports Illustrated magazines, Luce translated the old Manifest Destiny yearnings of the Americans into a new kind of expansionism. The son of a missionary in China, he turned his missionary zeal into making the world a place free for American business to operate. He tied his belief in God and his belief in business and his believe in America so closely together that to oppose business or America was to oppose Goth His power carie not just from the fact that he had millions or that he owned the largest publishing business in the world, but in the way he used that publishing empire, His publication seldom printed editorials but he was adept at working his opinions into the news in such a way that he could lead the thoughts of his readers while they thought they were simply being informed. He used sly adjectives to describe those he was against but glowing ones to hail those he favoured. Thus a communist was always going to come off looking bad while someone like Senator Joe McCarthy, (who he supported in his anti- communist witch-hunts until he became an embarrassment) was made to sound like a hero. Luce used this power to set the disastrous policy of the United States toward China where the Americans kept giving millions of dollars of aid to the corrupt Chiang Kai-Shek even though he was losing the support of the people of China daily, Even after the Communists won the war, the U.S., in a good part due to the propagandizing of the Luce press, continued to ignore the obvious that Mao Tse -Tung was the real leader of China and that Chiang was a corrupt war lord living in a fantasy world on Formosa island. The Luce press conditioned the thinking of Americans in the Vietnam war making all those who were against the war seem like traitors and those who were for it seem heroic realists. Luce's propaganda supported by other big business leaders in the U.S. eventually brought about the tragic alienation of the generations that came to a head over the Vietnam war, The older generation had been listening to the Gospel according to Luce for somany years that it believed that America was right through thick and thin, no matter where it was fighting throughout the war. The younger generation saw through the propaganda. Luce, of course, was propagandizing here in Canada too, not . only because of the huge circulation of Life here, but because he published a special addition of Time magazine here that improted most of it's material from its New York office, adding a few pages' of Canadian news and thus producing a product so cheaply that an all -Canadian magazine couldn't compete, This then is the kind of pian in control of many of the so called "international" businesses that havehead offices in the U.S. We Canadians deluded ourselves for many years into believing that we could have the good life the multi -national businesses brought us without paying the price. Now we Lind we can't. We find that the American businessmen were happy to come here as long as they got cheap materials and labour but once they've used that up, they'll go elsewhere and when there is trouble in the U.S., they'll close their plants here and take the jobs back home, Frankly, for being as greedy and stupid as we've been, we deserve our present problems, Trappers help with Rabies Prevention Plan THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARbH 22, 1978 — 5 by Rhea Hamilton A fox is killed while attacking a farm dog, The head is sent away for testing and comes back positive - rabies is present. A cross section of the fox's teeth shows that the female fox had eaten from baits set up by Ministry of Natural Resources for the past three years. If an Ora-Vax program had been in effect the fox would havr been immune to rabies any risk to dogs or livestock. This situation was recalled by Ian Watt ,a resource technician for the wildlife section of Fish and Wildlife Research Branch, Wing - ham, His job is to pick up any carcasses of foxes, coyotes, and skunks and maintain a person to person contact with the trappers of Huron, Perth and Bruce counties involved in the Ora-Vax program. Ora Vax is a bait system which vaccinates wild animals against rabies. When the foxes or coyotes eat the bait they become immune to the rabies virus. The pilot program for Canada started five years ago in this ares. Natural Resourses is able to keep track of animals by having the trappers record their captures and turn in the carcasses of the animals caught. Ian Watt picks up the carcassess from the trappers and does an autopsy to find out whether the animal ate from the bait. if the trapper has taken a blood sample from a recently killed animal, Ian can tell if natural antibodies for rabies arc up or down. Rabies Travels Traffic of animals from one arca to another can bring the rabies virus into an area. When the population of coyotes or foxes becomes too great for an arca to handle, rabies is a natural way to thin out over population. With the Ora-Vax program being used, the elimina- tion of the disease would enable trapping to be used as a popula- tion control and farming techni- que and •at the sane time protect the general public from the disease. An over population of animals tends to be found in secondary locations, which are in many cases man made. A prime example, pointed out p , by lan Watt, is the case of a beaver dam, in a farm pond. If a trapper takes away the native beaver, beaver from somewhere else will move into the area and take up residence. "They are very much like people: When you move away from your community someone else moves into your home, Often the young are sent into other ter- ritories and if there are no prime locations they tend to locate in secondary locations like draing- age ditches, flooding wood lots and valuable pastureland." says ian. • "The need for thinning is aptly shown in Middlesex and Kent counties where the fox populat- ion was far too high this past year and consequently so was the incidence of rabies." pointed out Ian, "In order for trappers to decrease the population, the bounties (on foxes) have been increased to $15 as incentive," Rabies Feared It was feared that the border- line cases around Huron would lead to an outbreak of rabies in the area, but with the work of the trappers recording the fox and coyote carcasses with Ian Watt, Natural Resouces could keep track of the fox population and of rabies outbreaks, In the past year alone 200 skunks have been turned over to Ian Watt for the program.

The trappers cooperate well and by using their special grapevine Ian Watt was able to find a place to live and carry out his autosies on the carcasses. "Don Pickard of Hullett town- ship helped me locate a place to stay in Hullett." pointed out lan. "He arranged for me to use the porch for niy autopsy work which is not the most clean or sweet smelling especially when I have skunks to do." Last week marked the last of the pickups lan will make for a few months from area trappers. For the past six weeks many have been saving carcasses for pickup, and with the advent of warm weather, have put up with the uncomfortable odour for the sake of seeing the Ora-Vax program become a success. Thanks to Trappers "I wouldn't want you to leave out the thanks we owe to the Huron County Trappers Associat- ion." said Ian. "They have been generous and very helpful with their time and efforts." Next year the energies of the . research team will fall on getting the vaccine perfected so that the baits will be set with the real thing instead of tetracycline. Rabies will hopefully be per- manently under control. Count- ries around thewurldwork with the World Health Organization in comparing notes to further the control of rabies. Although pro- vincially funded, the Ora-Vax program is a Canadian first. Among other programs of the Natural Resourses is the mapping of travelling patterns of wild animals such as foxes and coyote which have radio collars on them, Anyone finding one of these animals injured or dead is asked to report the animal and send the radio collar to the nearest Natural .,Resources office.

Lion Randy Machan introduced George Collins of Auburn Easter lilies and good selection of SPRING PLANTS to brighten up your Easter THE KITCHEN CUPBOARD QUEEN ST., BLYTH, w Ontario Foods Why they should be the first ones to look for when you shop... And how you can find them. Ontario's farmers give us some of the finest quality food products and some of the best food values in the world. That's why Ontario's Ministry of Agriculture and Food has developed this new Foodland Ontario symbol to help you find them. It will help you identify the superb Ontario -grown foods for sale at your store. Their value and quality alone are enough to make them 'best buys' on your shopping list. But there are other good reasons why you should look for this symbol. Ontario's farmers and their families make up only 5% of Ontario's population. Yet our farm neighbours produce some 200 food commodities worth $3 billion a year. Like the rest of us, our farmers look for a reasonable standard of living for their hard work and often risky investment. In return they offer their Ontario neighbours a wide variety of high quality farm products at fair prices. We still import more food into Ontario than we export. Our trade balance would be much better if we consumed more of our own farm products. By doing so we could ensure a good livelihood for our producers. And we'd have increased activity and employment in our large food processing and retailing industries. We'd also assure the continued best use of our prime farmland. The benefits are for all of us. We all have an investment in the continued good health of our agricultural economy. It's not just sentiment for our family farm heritage - it's plain common sense. We should protect and reinforce our investment in Ontario through our shopping choices. Buy the.fine products of Foodland Ontario. Look for them wherever you see the Foodland Ontario symbol.

CANADA PENSION PLAN CHANGES. BtterBenefits ForSome. Divorce or Annulment. CPP pension credits earned by a husband and wife during marriage may be divided equally between them if the marriage ends in divorce or annulment after January 1,1978.

Retroactive Payment of Retirementenefits. Retirement benefits may now be paid retroactively for a period of up to 12 months to contributors who had attained age 65 but who are under age 70 and who have retired from the labour force. Post -Mortem Benefits. Applications for retroactive benefits (Le. up to 12 months) can now be made on behalf of a deceased person, in cases where a contributor qualified, but failed to apply, before death. Families or estates will be entitled to receive benefits in such cases. Elimination of Reductions in Children's Benefits. Orphans' and disabled contributors' children's benefits are no longer reduced for the fifth and subsequent children. All children in a family, regardless of its size, are eligible to receive equal benefits. These important amendments to the Canada Pension Plan came into force on January 1st, 1978.

THE BLY I H STANDARD, MARCH 22, 1978 — 9 Board official gets 6% raise The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board approved an increase in salary of $1,603 or six per cent for Jack Lane, Superintendent of Business, effective as of the first of January, 1978, Travel allowance was increased two cents to 20 cents, In addition as a replacement to O.M,E.R.S, payment of $600 was approved toward a personal Registered Retirement Savings Plan, also payment of $403,34 or two-thirds of $610 toward an accident plan, L.P.D.1. The increases for Mr, Lane are subject to Anti-inflation board approval. The board approved a compen- sation package for an increase of $976 to be paid to Ed Rowland, Co-ordinator of Building and Maintenance, subject to A,I.B. approval. His travel allowance will be increased from 18 cents to 20 cents. The board accepted the resignations of Kenneth Miskiewicz at St. James Separate School, - Seaforth, and Sister Florence Kelly, Principal of St. Patrick's School, Dublin, effective August, 1978. Board Chairman Donald Crowley of R. R. 112, Gadshill, stated the 371/2 per cent increase in OHIP rates announced a few days ago, will have a great impact on the board's budget as the increase was unexpected, It will cost the board an extra $15,228, Trustee Michael Connolly of Kippen asked if the OHIP fees cheque was sent to the Ministry or the Treasurer of Ontario and he was told it was sent to the Teastirer, Mr. Connolly replied, "Yes, I thought it went to the treasurer and where it goes after that nobody knows --it all goes into one big pie," Chairman Crowley said he had attended the public speaking contest in Dublin on Thursday night and wished to congratulate the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association of Huron and Perth for sponsoring the worthwhile programme, "I wish to say the teachers should be commended on their efforts." Shelagh Hewitt, Education Co-ordinataor for the Stratford Festival and John Heney, the president, attended the board session to make a proposal on behalf of Robin Phillips, Artistic Director of the Festival. Mrs. Hewitt said the Festival is a resource centre largely untapped by the community that lies around it. She said, "Because Robin Phillips and the Stratford Festival believe in the young people of this country we would like to help in the development of that resource (the young people)," Continuing she stated: "Our product depends largely on. the talents of the many people who work for us, In our community are directors, designers, actors, musicians, technicians, cabinet makers, writers, dancers, singers, seamstresses. Within theses general groups we have people with special talents such as acrobatics, electronics, tailoring, mime, singing, composing, We would like to offer the skills that many members of the Festival have to the school children who live in the surrounding areas. If your schools have a teaching need that falls within those areas, or another area that might be connected with the Festival, we would like you to cone to us with that need, We in turn, once we have been approached, will try through our Education Co-ordinator to meet that need by supplying to the school the kind of resource person required."

But the staff has hesitated to combine music and drama because of a lack of skills in direction. If the music staff were, interested in doing a programme which combined the two fields, someone from the Festival could be used as a resource person to work with the teachers and the students to produce a musical drama. She said Mr. Phillips would like to see, as a culmination to the. projects developed in the schools, a coming together of the school children and young adults in!the community to perforin the project undertaken. It would give the projects a goal and a focus-- the people of the community an exciting outlet to dispel the gloom of the wicked winter months. She said the resource people would be available especially September to December and it was preferred that thclresource people go to the school rather than the students to the Festival Theatre, Mrs, Hewitt said the program for separate school students would be for schools in both Huron and Perth counties. It is a non cost item to the board," she said. She concluded "If you find the offer interesting and challenging it is up to you, the people responsible for education, to take us up on it. We have introduced this offer at the board level so that if you decide to act upon it you can take it to your schools," Because of the winter break, March. 16 to 26 and Easter Mloaday, the next board meeting will be held Tuesday, March 28. Gregory Fleming of Crediton, chairman of transportation committee said the committee is planning meetings with the transportation committee of the Huron and the Perth county boards of education to discuss current problems for mutua benefit. The board approved in principle a request from principal Dave Zyluck of St. Joseph's School, Kingsbridge, for him to launch a program to raise funds through the St. Joseph's School Association to build a tennis court on the school property.

St. Jean] The handshake is a universal form of human greeting. Africans may have witnessed the oddity of two white men greeting each othet by a handshake as Stanley said his famous words; "Dr, Livingstone, I presume," Just the same, touch is risky and for all our psychological insight people establish less and less contact by touch or conversation. There are no studies in our society on what forms of touch are taboo and what are not, Some teachers may have taught forty years without really touching a pupil even with a hickory stick. A father or mother in some cases never kissed children after babyhood. If one were to make a little study of one's own list about fifteen types of common social forms of touch; three-legged races, wheelbarrow race, bobbing for apples, joining hands etc. and ask assorted people to say how The `don't touch' taboo docs not follow unless we see that several stores made an attempt to avoid soiled goods by strict 'don't touch' signs. Farmers; are ore fastidious bout the separation of house and barns than in Europe and keep the house free of odours. Our phobias appear to be shared for on a school playground Indian children refused or hesitated to join hands with teachers because of the taboo on touch in a reverse sort of way. In a boarding school where many European nationalities were present a given odour was associated or tagged to a nationality. Touch is touchy, In folklore it is genially true that a fist fight is involved and either reconciliation or authority is established. The western gunfight is suspect for some responsiblity for a touch taboo. A bullet is clinically healthy --it they understand the experience never transmits germs and is as a social plus or minus.

We don't do that in the Smiley family,. although i've nothing against it. It's just that when one of your immediate family goes, it makes a gap in your own life, whether you were close or not. And it's also a reminder of your own mortality. My big brother was five years older, and, .naturally, something of a hero for me at times, He got all the good looks in the family: six feet tall, blond curly hair, strong white teeth, a great physique. He was a top athlete in high school. He passed, kicked and ran on the football team, and set a high jump record that lasted for some years. So you can imagine that little brother often basked in reflected glory. Because of the age difference, he hung around with a different crowd, but he was kind to me, and did for me a lot of things fathers are supposed to do with their sons. Like playing catch, showing me how to stick -handle a puck, letting me help gather sap and make syrup, and one glorious day about this time of year, allowing me to tire two shots at a tree with his .22. 1 was about 10 and its was some big deal. He had a strange sort of life, because he was a combination of doer and dreamer, He was a young man in the latter part of the Depression, and it was a bad time to be a young man, in some ways. His first job was in a bank, at a miserable pittance..He was like. a young bear in a cage. With some kindred spirits, he left the bank, they bought a Model T, and ‘vitt a few dollars each, they headed north. He went into hard -rock mining and within a - -year was a shift boss, making big money for the times. He liked the hard rough work and play of miners. 1 remember the first time he came home from the north, for Christmas, huge, hearty, laughing, with generous presents for all, and to the horror of his young brother, whiskey on his breath. Funny, that memory, He was never much of a drinker. Came the war, and he joined early, obtaining a commission in the Engineers. He went overseas with the body of young Canadians who were to spend the next three or tdur years training and f'rustr'ated in damp old England. Next time 1 saw him, he was almost dead. I had just arrived in England, a young sproguc of a pilot, and was informed September 26 - 30, 1978 HURON COUNTY PIONEER SEED CORN VARIETIES AVAILABLE 3978 [SC] 2650 H.U. 82 days 3977 [3W] 2650 H.U. 82 days 3975A[MSC]2700H.U.85 days 3965 [3W]2750 H.U. 87 days 3955 [3W] 2850H.U. 90 days 3903 [SC] 2950 H.U.95 days Bruce Roy R.R.1,,Londesboro Phone, Blyth, 523.4237 Your Pioneer Seed Corn representative for the Londesboro, Blyth and Clinton area that big brother had been blown up, by a land mine, I went to the hospital, as 1 did againmore than 30 years later, and found hin) in rough shape. The shrapnel from the mine had almost cut him in two, and he was still picking bits of it out of his skull and body just b eforc he died. I3u1 the medics patched him up and within months he was out squiring the nurses around the local pubs, minus one eye, but very much alive. The three Smiley brothers got together fairly often for weekend leaves in London. To the disgust of my little brother and 1, big brother would try to organize every- thing for us, treat us with paternal pride, and try to keep us from sowing too many wild oats, which we were only too keen to do. A year after the war, he and 1 got married, within a few weeks of each other, and our wives struck up a close friendship. Then I was off to the dull safety of university and he was off on a series of bizarre and adventurous jobs. First it was away up to Port Radium) on Great Bear Lake, to mint pitchblende for radium. Then he worked as a construction boss for some quasi -government agency, in Southern Ontario, Next he bought a well-driller's rig and got into that, First thing I know, he's off to South America to run a gold mine that did well but was closed when the government decided to build a dam) that would close the mine. Back to Canada. Side trips to Puerto Rico \'hcre there was a big job building houses. That didn't pan out. Then a year or two in Newfoundland, building highways. Various jobs after that. 1 \vas never quite sure•whcre he was, what he was doing; of who he was working for. But there was always that indomitable dream that the next job was going to hit real pay -dirt and set him for life. Two weeks before he died, he Told me with great enthusiasm about a trip he'd made recently to Costa Rica, and felt there were great opportunities down there for him as soon as he got on his feet. i'n) sad that the big dream was always just over the horizon, and that he never quite achieved it. But I'm glad for his sake that he kept trying, There were lots of times when he could have settled into a nine -to -five job and lived dully and safely for the rest of his life. But in this age, when everyone is seeking to wrap himself in a security blanket, he remained a boy, at heart, ready to drop everything, pack up and go to the ends of the earth for ai ok at something new and exciting. May he rest in the peace he never found on this earth. Sunday, March 26th at 8 p.m. Be Sure to Near Miss Cecile Marquette Mr. & Mrs. Dave Baan will provide special music ..

This kind of statement nlight.causc the public to think that the farmer is laughing all the way to the bank. The fact is, the economic plight of the average Canadian farmer is desperate, and since one in every foto' jobs in Canada is dependent upon his survival, a large slice of the nation's economy is threat- ened. "By the sweat of thy brow shalt thou cat bread." Since biblical times, food has been measured against labour. Let's get back to basics and look at food prices logically. In 1949, a person had to work 39.3 minutes to earn enough to purchase one pound of sirloin steak, By 1976, 'this lime factor had been reduced to 19.7 min- utes. The cost Of all other items of Canadian produced food have, (when using this standard of measurement), been reduced substantially. Eat hearty, you are consuming the cheapest and best food in the world! Tile 1'arnlcr is the scapegoat for international trade. The dumpings of foreign food products on the Canadian market, not only in- creases his economic burden but reduces the number of jobs in urban areas which could other- wise be available - transport, processing, packaging, etc. Agriculture is faced with ever increasing input costs - land, machinery, maintenance, hydro, fires, labour, fertilizer, chemicals - the cost is enormous. Compared to other industries, agriculture receives little tariff protection - thc farmer must take blows from all directions and he is gradually being beaten to death! Farmers' real incomes have dropped more than 301/2 since 1975 - they have to borrow heavily merely to survive, Peter Hannam, President of the Ontario Fed- eration of Agriculture has stated, "You can't have a sound, well run industry , if it's losing money, If things don•'t change soon, we can expect more bankruptcies and a further exodus from the farms, The worst part is, that it is the younger farmers who will be hurt the,most, They will be the first to Icavc. Who is going to sleet our future food requirements?" The farmer is not receiving enough for his products in order to ensure his survival and the Canadian public must accept ,the fact. A farther docs not demand the income rises which the average Canadian scents to ex- pect with every passing year. There is no threat to strike and deprive you of 1'00(1. The farmer does not grumble about working long hours everyday.All he wants is a fair return for his produce in order to slake a hall' decent living. Only 5'/2 of Canadians are farmers but their impact upon the Canadian economy is tremend- ous. lithe farmers fail - Canada fails! How can you help? 'Think about the farmer when you push that cart around the supermarket. Whenever possible, buy .only Canadian products. lf you are not sure, ask. "Is this produced in Canada?" $4,000 cattle stolen Officers at Wingham Detach- ment are investigating the theft of 12 cross -bred charolais steers from the old Gorrie Livestock Barns on March 17.

McDonald] One of the most beautiful insects is the dragonfly. With its iriddescent wings, its graceful flight, who has not been charmed by it in summer days? Yet it was once a grub, lying in a pond. Then came the change. It emerged from its lower form of life, It found itself endowed with powers which were entirely new, and with a beauty which before it could not boast. So shall it be wit the Christian. "There is -no death, what seems so is transition," sings Longfellow. This is the great affirmation of the Christian Gospel and this is the great message of Easter -death is not the end, but the beginning of a much greater and fuller life. And with such assured hope of immortality, what a manner of life should be ours here on earth. He lifted from the dust, The Cross of ,Shame; And gave it to a glory and a name To live forever in the hearts of men - And bring them comfort, faith and peace, again. He lifted from the depths, The Soul of Man - Oppressed by toil and wrong since Time began; And gave to it a dignity and worth, In Him revealed -above the wealth of Earth! He lifted from the grave, Eternal Life - Triumphant over pain and grief and strife; Our hope and stay along a war -worn way, Whose end is -Christ.

New bills will show electricity use An extra item of information has been added to Ontario Hydro bills to help customers measure how well their conservation ef- forts are working. Starting this month the revised bill, sent to Hydro's 800,000 rural customers, will show a cus- tomer's average daily use of electricity. The bill, when based on a meter reading, will indicate the average use of electricity in Kilowatt-hours per day, The average daily use ligure will be calculated from individual meter readings every three nx,nths. Ed Kulperger, planning super- intendent at Ontario Hydro's conservation division, says the figures on the revised bill will fluctuate with the seasons, "If customers keep their bills for a year and compare them from one year to the next, then they'll be able to sec how well their conservation efforts a re working." He also noted that some of the best ways to reduce the- civcragc daily use of electricity are to turn Off unnecessary lights, cut down on the use of hot water and use less heat. Today styles in Easter han, vary as much as styles in the Easter parade. Traditionally the ham is a leg of pork that has been cured and smoked. However, there are other cuts available that taste like ham. The picnic shoulder and cottage roll can be just as flavourful and less expensive. As Easter approaches, there are sure to be weekly "specials" featuring all these cuts. The ham may be sold whole or cut in half or in sections, If you have a small family to feed, , it may be advantageous to profit by the special prices and buy a half ham. Use it for one or two meals and then cut the rest from the bone and freezeit. When buying ham, allow 125 g. to 150 g. per serving of boneless han, and 150 g. to 200, g. per serving for ham wit's' i & bone in, Until supermarket scales have been converted to rinetric, buy '/4 to '/a pound boncl ess or 1/2 to '/z pound bone in ham. For waistline wathers, don't use Easter as an excue to cheat on your diet! Try trfinming off most of the fat covering from the harm and baste with unsweetened fruit juices instead of the meat drippings. Ham is also a welcome change panfricd or broiled as ham steaks. These steaks are generally about 2 cm. (slightly less than 1 inch) thick and arc usually cut fron, the choice center portion of the ham. One kilogram (about 2 pounds) ham slices with bone will provide about six servings. What about glazes for the Easter hare? Try almost anything sweet-- honey, maple syrup, melted jelly or sweetened fruit juice. Food :consultants at Agriculture Canada suggest you try this "Fruit Glazed Ham Steak" this Easter. It's a ham shining with good looks and flavour!
