Right of
unsolved
• Blyth council discussed a right
of way behind the cast block of
downtown core buildings on
Queen Street, at the request of
rcaltor Mason Bailey, Monday
night. Councillors viewed a
survey neap updated in 1970 but
could not come to any definite
conclusion as to what the
markings mean.
Council will check with
Burns Ross, engineer, who dict
the survey work for his interpre-
tation of the map.
Council felt that although the
right of way was of concern to the
village, they would not become
involved with a private dispute.
Council approved levies from
the Board of Education at $59,636
and to the Huron county a levy of
22,877.
The Blyth Board of Trade wrote
concerning the reinstatement of a
tree planting program and the
installation of "no parking signs"
along the business section,
The council has approached the
Horticulture Society about the
tree planting program and will
pay for the trees if the society will
supervise the planting.
The main thorougfare in Blyth
is a highway and under the
jurisdiction ofMTC . Council
agreed to consult the ministry
about signs. It was suggested that
a bylaw will have to be passed in
order for someone to police the
signs.
Branch 420 of the Legion
in BI yth wrote council about the
proposed addition for the
Memorial Hall, It was the
Legion's concern that the new
addition would be out of place and
keeping with the present
structure. They would like council
to see that the dignity of the
Memorial Hall be maintained and
reflected.
Council referred the letter to
the Blyth Centre for the Arts so
that the members may see the
concern others have for the Halla
The Blyth Figure Skating Club

Grader, subdivision
give Morris deficit
The purchase of a new grader
and financing of the Belgrave
subdivision caused Morris Town-
ship to have a . $20,422 deficit
Morris councillors learned at their
regular meeting on Monday when
they went over their financial
report. Last year they had a
surplus of $2,756.
Council also learned from
accountant Brian Mcllhazey of
Thorne and Riddell in London it
had gone over their road budget
by $22,000 also because of the
purchase of the grader. Council
had budgeted $211,000 but spent
$233,261.
For planning and development
the township did not budget any
money but the actual total was
$67,378. The auditor explained
that the Ministry changed its
rules and all expenses on tile
drainage loans now have to go
through as expenditures.__
Reeve Bill Elston asked the
auditor if he could tell council how
much money they had collected
and paid back to Toronto on their
farm draingage loans and was
told the sum was $90,026 which
included some lump sum pay-
ments,
Taxes receivable were up
$8,000 from $19,905 in 1976 to
1$27,753 in 1977. Morris had a
bank loan of 178,000 compared to
$36,500 last year. Of that 178,000,
$89,000 should be in drainage
projects, the council members
were told.
The accounts payable were up
quite a bit because of the grader,
purchased for $12,000. They were
up from $13,121 last year to
$35,322 this year.
Council was told it still has
$20,000 in their reserve fund for
working capital.
Councillors were concerned
that the 1977 financial report was

From me to you
Primitive camping -
a trip through time
by Rhea Hamilton
Saturday evening was calm and
very clear. The sun was hanging
over the horizon just waiting for
the right nionient to slip below
the line of the bush and send the
whole scene into grey stillness.
The birds were whispering and
chattering in hushed tones and
the air was still warm after the
days sun. As i rounded the path,
there in front of me, was a
primitive lean to tent and beyond
that a tall white teepee. Camp
fires smoked lazily throughout the
clearing sign ailing other camp-
sites cleverly hidden from first
glance. The most startling thing
about the whole scene was the
three men sitting at the nearest
camp: They appeared from
another time. Their clothing was
an assortment of furs, Hudson
Bay blankets, and hand sewn
garments from the period of the
gallant trappers.
This was no dream. It was a
primitive campsite of Ontarion
Muzzel Loading Association and
these people were practising the
art of living out in the wilds
without the Coleman accessories
and insulated trailers. These
primitive rendevous arc planned
once a month and this month
Moss's gravel pit north of Auburn
was quietly inhabited with men,
women and children all working
together to preserve an inmportant
lxu't of our heritage anti history
through actual experiences,
The clim light made it
impossible to get in any more
shots of the clothing or tents so 1
decided to come back the next day
for the shooting match.
Once knowing what was in
store around the curve, 1 was not
as nervous as the night before.
From further up the trail you
could hear the sharp loud boom of
the muskets and flint locks being
fires. Sure enough, everyone was
there taking turn shooting at a
target. It took awhile before 1
could visualize the target.
It hung quiet a number of feet
away and the only way of seeing it
was to watch carefully when
someone shot so that you could
sec the movement of the taget in
the branches of the huge spruce
tree.
In matches such as these the
shooter is ling ited to open iron
fixed or, non-adjustable sights.
They also dress in clothing and
equipment that was used between
1750 and 1850. They make fire
with flint and steel, and throw a
knife and tomahawk. The targets
are not the paper kind we are all
familiar with but they use such
things as candles, feathers,
strings, blades, steel silhouettes
of buffalo, bear, and squirrel.
Even women were handling the
old guns and shooting with as
much accuracy as the men.
Back in camp the younger
shooters were finishing up
breakfast and tending the fires.
Onc small fellow dressed all in
buckskin and sporting a fine
Indian necklace was chewing on
some bread he himself' had made,
Jeff Forcier Toronto, and Derrick
Cartwright, Auburn, gave me a
sample of beef jerky the Forcier
family had inadc for then• food
supply.
'line name well suited the
appearance of the strip oI' brown
fibrous crisp heat, but my
reluctance changed when the.
taste of the meat met my mouth.
The meat had been softly
sprinkled with spices and then
dried in the oven•. It lasted ages
and made a -good snack and could
be mixed with anything to make a
meal. The boys had a cotton bag
full •of strips of meat.
Jeff' then gave me a .sample of
his bread and it proved equally
gcxxl. The only thing i did not
envy them was the cold nights we
had on the weekend. Fortunately
it was only a weekend affair, for'
the snow on the ground ivfonday
morning would have been an
unpleasant thing to sleep in.
The campers it' I nay be so bold
tWcall them that, came from as far
away as 'I'hornbui;v (Owen
Sound), W eston, London and
Galt.
Although not the activity I'or
everyone the primitive camp
rendezvous is certainly a novel
and thrilling way to enjoy the
outdoors. A f to seeing everyone
accept all the inconveniences it
nmade me wonder il' maybe the
camping families of today are loo
lxtmpered to know and enjoy the
full benefits of camping.
When the next rcndc. vous
occurs in the area, nutke a p Dint
of going out to enjoy the sights
ancf sounds of the primitive way
of life.
If anyone is interested in
joining the Ontario Muzzle
Loading Association, the local
pian to talk to is Don Cartwright
in Auburn, or write to Richard
Weisman, secretary, 32 Priscilla

A crisis
In Italy there is a crisis going on and there appears
no end in sight. The kidnapping of the former
premier Aldo Moro has not been an isolated case but
one of many kidnappings that have taken place in
Italy over the past few years.
"The family of Aldo Moro, after many days of
anguished waisting, makes a strong plea to the
Christian Democrat party to assume with courage
and responsibility the liberation of its president" a
statement said earlier this week from the family of
Mr. Moro. The government has been accused by the
family of immobility in refusing to bargain with the
politician's kidnapper's threats.
The kidnappers are demanding the release of 13
suspected guerrillas in exchange for his release.
Ivan attempt to sway the mind or decision of the
government, 14 letters attributed to Mr. Moro have
been received pleading for action.
Mr. Moro has been sentenced by the terrorists to
die.Twice the date has been set. After anxious hours
another letter is received from Mr. Moro, again
pleading for co-operation. But the credibility of the
Red Brigade grows thin and it is this hesitation that
gives the Italian government hope of negotiating the
release of Moro through other means.
The case is a tragic one and one's first inclination
is to say: release the jailed men in return for Mr.
Moro. But in reality, to give in now would be inviting
further abuse of the law and endangering others in
the future.
It is a cruel thing to do, to say ,no, and know that a
man of recognition may die but to give in, is to give
more power to the terrorists who will make a
decision even harder next time and you can be sure
that there will be a next time.
The rest of the world watches and waits for the
outcome, The best we can do, as free nations, is to.
pray for the family and government and hope that
God gives them strength.
Remember?

Editor's Note: This wee bit of news was submitted by Jean
Storrah and Lil McLachan. The clipping was given to thein by a
ftiend doing .some research -with old newspapers.
That was an awful mistake two Blyth girls madeThey became
infatuated with the•idea of having their heads taken coquetishly
through a torn paper, and visited the photographer for that
purpose. When the pictures were finished they were horrified to
behold what they had failed to notice --the paper through which
they had stuck their heads was a Chicago sheet, and just beneath
their smiling faces was a big display advertisement of a clothing
lirnr, which announced: "Our pants are lined in the seat."

The patter of 32 little feet
My what the pit ler patter of'little feet can do
to the peace of the home. Especially when you
have 32 little feet doing the pitta pattering.
No it isn't a miracle. of modern maternity, or
0 major adoption project out at Muddy Lane
Manor. just a crop ol'eight little puppies. Or at
least they were little but they're doing their
best to remedy the situation.
111111(111ever been one of my great a mbitions
to have pups wandering around. 'throughout
Illy life I've been very sexist when it canoe to
cklgs. We always had a male dog of we didn't
have 0 clog at all, When we lived 111 town we
just didn't have a dog because we felt dogs
should have space to run and we didn't have
the space.
Indeed when ve moved out to the 01 anor the
N‘ife wasn't sure she still wanted a dog. She'd
never had a clog when she was growing up and
to her cats were the only pct worth hav ing.
Still eventually she decided that she'd give a
dog a try (she's a sticker for any kind of
auroral) and it was she w'Ito actually picked out
our first dog, an animal of indeterminant
origin which the village officials had found
t'lltnling t11e streets and captured. The plan in
charge or. such things as getting rid of
unlvantcd dogs just couldn't do it with this one
because plc was so appealing so he kept him,
hoping someday he would find a home for
hint.
When he brought Jack (our children named
hint after a dog in their favourite televisi on
sx:ries) out to the farm it' was one of the most
warming experiences one could take part in.
Suddenly after bring cooped up in town he
had the run of many acres and the love of
three children. He was a great first dog and
rather spoiled us. He never got into trouble
turd never strayed from home as far as we
wuld figure out. But one day last fall he
suddenly just disappeared in the middle of the
afternoon and we never saw him again.
Suddenly after many members of the family
not being sure they wanted a dog at all they
found they had a great longing for a dog. So
wiles we learned through 'a family connection
of some Labrador Retreiver pups to be given
away we took a look. They were both female
but ah what the heck.
That "ah what the heck" was last fall. This
winter we found out what the heck. One day
the dog started acting strangely and shortly
afterwards a big German Shepherd took up
residence just outside the kitchen door. He
stayed there, with the odd break for food or
whatever, for the next 10 days. When it
became evident that he wasn't about to go
away we were faced with a predicament. I
mean after all you can't keep the dog inside
forever or the place will soon smell like a Karn.
So finally with another "ah what the heck" we
opened the door and let the dog out the next
time nature called, And nature called in more
than one way. That dog had more fun for the
next few days than she probably knew was
possible in her wildest poppy dreams. They
cavorted around the yard day and night and
she played hint like the typical movie version o
of the coquettish woman. One minute she'd be
mad for hint and the next minute she'd ignore
hint and he'd look bewildered biv it all.
But her turn to be bewildered was coming.
She kept getting bigger and heavier as the
weeks were on and suddenly found she
(uuldn't do all the things she'd once clone as a
slim young girl. Then one day in March she
came into the house in the morning acting
strangely, running in and out of rooms and
just getting into the house in 6010 to decide
she wanted out again. I was off to a meeting
and just going out the back door when 1 heard
astrange noise and looked over to see the dog
in a corner licking something that was
whimpering. "Jill," I yelled, "the dog's
having pups, see you later." Well I mean after
all she's at least had some nursing training
and I wasn't any good at those things.
Later that afcrnoon I came home to find out
the dog had eight pups, all looking just like
Labs. From then on outlives were to change
severely. With the weather so backward this
spring there was only one place the pups could
be kept: in the house. That wasn't bad for the
first couple of weeks when all they did was eat
and sleep but later when they got older and
friskier life in the kitchen became hectic to say
the least. Every step was taken with the
131owledge that one might be stepping on a
pup or on his calling card. •
So when the warns weather finally arrived
last week there was a hugh sigh of relief
around our house. Finally the pups could go
outside and the kitchen could return to being a
kitchen after being a kennel. Suddenly the
pups became loveable objects again instead of
little pestsBut if we were relieved, mother dog
was even happier. She wasn't really
enamoured with the idea of being a mother.
Having eight little offspring yapping at her
heels everytime she moved wasn't exactly her,
idea of a good time.
With the pups outside she could finally get
some peace by going inside. Well old girl,
that's the penalty you pay for loose living.

Activities keep
members busy
The subject of "Food
Budgeting" brought a splendid
attendance to hear Mrs. Janet
Clark, a former Home -Economics
teacher at Wingham who was the
speaker at a meeting of the
Evening Unit of the U.C.W. last
Wednesday evening.
Mrs. Clark first stressed the
importance of menu— planning --
menus that incorporate the food
requirements according to
Canada's Food Guide and foods
that give variety in both colour
and texture; the use of left -overs,
some standard brands and weekly
specials. Shop less frequently,
with a good list, alone, and after a
meal, and resist impulse buying.
Use skins milk powder and
margarine in baking. Make your
own pudding and biscuit nixes,
shake and bake, and grated
cheese. We use too much meat,
so smaller servings and using
protein alternatives really help
cut food costs. Have the butcher
freeze nkat if you buy in
quantity. She pointed out that
"we mustn't feed the garbage
can", and she showed several
small cookbooks and pamphlets
that are free for the asking. The
topic provoked a lot of interest
and discussion, and ideas were
picked up from each other as well.
Mrs. Jim Howson thanked Mrs.
Clark and presented her with a
gift. Thanks to Mrs. Bruce
Howson who arranged the
meeting.
Mrs. Harold Campbell used
John 14:27 for the Theme of the
Worship Service, dwelling on the
peace of mind and spirit that is
freely given to us. "Let 'not your
heart be troubled." Mrs. Vodden
and Mrs, Wittich assisted,
Mrs. John Stewart chaired the
business nieet,ing when it was
decided to have a Spring Tea once
again for residents at Brookhaven
sometime in June.
The Committee in charge of a
new roof for the Church .held
another meeting on Friday
evening.
Matthew 28: verse 19 was the
text chosen by Rev. Wittich a, the
Sunday Morning Church Service.
He outlined methods of making
all of us disciples, both learners
and followers of Christ, through
our church as a whole and
individually, thraugh eVangclism,
radio and T.V. But fust, we must
know Jesus, personally.
Ushers were Bill Howson, Fred
Meier Jr., and Dick Poore. Mrs.
Bowes was in charge of Jr.
Congregation. Mr. Wittich asked
the children the 'question "Who is
the Greatest in the Kingdom of,
Heaven?" The answer of course
is that in God's Sight we are all
equal, even the little children.

Teachers
honoured
About 75 teachers from the
North Huron Unit of the Ontario
Women Teachers Federation at-
tended a dinner on Tuesday in
honor of the 60th anniversary of
the Federation.
The dinner was held at the
Brussels, Morris and Grey Com-
munity Centre and teachers were
from Wingham, Howick, Blyth,
Belgrave and Ethel. About 100.
teachers were contacted for the
dinner including retired teachers,
The North Huron Unit holds an
annual dinner meeting every year
but because it was the 60th
anniversary of the Ontario or-
ganization that was the main
I'xus of the evening. Nine ladies
‘‘lno had been teaching in 1918
spoke. They included Mrs. John
Speir of Brussels, Mrs. Ada
Armstrong of Brussels, Mrs.
'John Bowman of R.R.5, Brussels,
Mrs. Milton Fraser of R.R.5,
Brussels, Mrs. Luella Hall of
Blyth, Miss Verna McLaughlin of
Wingham, Mrs. Chris Currie of
Wingham, Mrs. Grace Campbell
of Lucknow, and Miss IA da
Webster of Lucknow.
Mary Rathbun who is the North
Huron Unit president as well as
the school librarian at Grey
Central and Turnberry Schools
was the main organinzer of the
event.
Mrs. Hall remembers 46 years teaching
[by Debbie Ranney]
The North Huron Unit of the
Ontario Women Teacher's Feder-
ation held a banquet in Brussels
in honour of their 60th Anniver-
sary as an organization last week.
Nine ladies there had been
teaching sixty, years before and
Luella Hall of , Blyth was one of
them.
Mrs. Hall had what was
obviously an enjoyable career as
it spanned 46 years from 1918 to
1%4. She took her training at
what was then called Stratford
Normal School and later on
Stratford Teacher's College.
Today it is Conestoga College.
Mrs. Hall started her first job
in 1918 at SS 17 in Grey and
McKillop Townships at a salary of
$600. Mrs. Hall thought she was
one of the luckier ones since some
beginning teachers only got $500
to start,
The next school she taught at
was SS No. 5 in Guelph, the
school Col. John Macrae had
attended. Col. Macrae was the
man who wrote "In Flanders
Fields",
From there, Mrs, Hall went on
to another No, 5 school, this time
No. 5 in Hullett Township where
she taught until she was married,,
Mrs, Hall said that both of
these No. 5 schools were well set
up. The school in Guelph had
hydro and they even had a
garden. Each spring the Guelph
Horticultural Society would come
out and help the school put plants
in their garden.
"It was a good farming area
and the peoplc were
progressive", Mrs. Hall said of
the Guelph area at that time..
One of her most pleasant
memories of the Guelph school
seems to be of the time she had 12
Grade 8 students and when they
tried their entrance exams for
high school, nine of the 12 got
honours and the other three had
marks in the high 70's,
No. 5 Hullett
No. 5 Hullett was also a good
school, according to Mrs. Hall. It
was a newer school and it was
well-equipped. The difference
between the two No. 5 schools
seemed to be that while parents
of the Guelph children were great
a tension that had been there
because of the classes the Grades
5 and 6 had been mixed with
before, After that incident the
students seemed to work well
together, according to Mrs. Hall.
After No. 5 Hullett, Mrs. Hall
taught at what is now the Country
Studio but was then the No. 12
sdiool in Morris Township. She
taught there for four years during
wartime when teachers were
scarce. A lot of the men teachers
had been drafted and a lot of the
girls had taken nursing courses so
they could help out in the war.
Later on when she was staying
at home and had a family, she
was asked to teach at the school in
Blyth. The school had opened up
a room at Christmastime to
accommodate the newly formed
class of Grade 5 and 6. Before
that, the Grade 5 class had been
in with the junior grades of 3 and
4 and the Grade 6 class had been
in with the Grade 7 and 8 senior
class.
At the No. 12 school in Morris,
school books and other needs of
the pupils and teachers were
supplied, but in Blyth pupils had
to supply their own books. Blyth
didn't supply any needs till about
four or five years after Mrs. Hall
got there.
Dust
The room Mrs. Hall got to
teach her newly formed Grade 5
and 6 class in wasn't exactly first
class either. In fact, Mrs. Hall
was quite sure the room hadn't
been in use for 25 years. Dust was
everywhere and everything had
just been shoved into the cup-
boards. The students' desks
weren't first-class either. By the
time they got to the Blyth
classroom they were fourth-hand
and most of them were covered
with a familiar sticky substance --
gum.
When Mrs. Hall discovered the
gum, she thought of a plan to get
the desks cleaned. She went to
the principal and suggested that
the students be able to clean their
desks during school hours, The
principal told her if the students
agreed to do it, they could have a
special treat of a pop and an ice
cream bar although Mrs. Hall
didn't tell the pupils of the treat
when she asked if they would be
willing to clean their desks,
The students were enthusiastic
and the fact that they could now
have clean desks seemed to break
a tension that had been there
because of the classes the Grades
5 and 6 had been mixed with
before. After that incident the
students seemed to work well
together, according to Mrs. Hall,
No. 5, Guelph, No. 5, Hullett
and No. 12 Morris were all
one -room school houses but Mrs.
Hall said she didn't mind a large
room. In fact, one year she had 48
pupils.
"it keeps you busier preparing
different lessons for all the
grades. 1 think the hardest part is
getting your timetable set up so
no one is overlooked," Mrs. Hall
said of the one room schoolhouse.
Two Grades
She did say however that with
just two grades to teach there
could be more pupils and more
papers to mark than with a one
room schoolhouse.
Mrs. Hall seemed to think that
township arca schools were the
best kind because the trustees
always got everything the
township schools wanted and
needed.
It is interesting to note that
when' Mrs. Hall retired from
teaching in 1964 she was only
making 53,750. But Mrs. Hall
said she enjoyed her profession
because she really enjoyed
working with children.
"I think you have to, to be a
teacher," Mrs. Hall said. With 46
years of teaching experience
behind her, she ought to know.
Huron to spend $185,000 on match

operate leaving health costs at
510,525.

the budget. The tents are ex-
pected to cost $10,585 with $900

Is there money in
garbage?
By the Energy
Conservation Centre
Is there Money in Your
Garbage? Would you like to cut
down on your use of chemical
fcrtilize1's, and at the sante time
reclaim some of the garbage
salving your kitchen?
Composting is one way we can
benefit from our garbage, It can
Ix; used as a mulching material.
When a ;clod to the topsoil it
improves texture, porosity, water
holding capacity, and also in-
creases the organic content of the
soil.
Composting simply involves
taking organic wastes and placing
them in a soil culture. The
amstruction of a backyard com-
post heap can be simple and
inexpensive.
An easy method is to take the
bottom out of a large garbage
can, drill some side holes for
ventilation and start placing
compost inside. 'i'he cover will
keep pests away and will also
c)ntain the heat. Heat is pro-
duced as the garbage de-
composes. This heal should be
contained, because it helps keep
the natural organisms function-
ia1g, which helps to decompose
the waste.
Add compost materials as they
become available. Do not ac1(1

materials such as sawdust, whir:.
packs lightly and prevents
wnlilalion.
It is also a good idea to place a

The police sent out pictures of
an escaped convict in six different
plug shots.
A constable from a town some
distance away sent the following
wire a few days later: "Have
captured five of them and on the
trail of the sixth."
An elephant was drinking from
an African river when he spied a
snapping turtle asleep on a log.
He ambled over to it and kicked it
clear across the river. "Why did
you do that?" asked a giraffe,
"Because," replied the ele-
phant modestly. "'Turtle recall."

Lorne Vodden, who retired
from Westinghouse the end of
Mauch with 36 years' service,
plans to tour around and "see
some old friends, but otherwise
play his retirement on a clay -to-
day basis.
He started work in 1941 as an
expediter in the Scheduling De-
partment, and left shortly there -
alter to serve in the Royal
Canadian Air Force. Returning in
'45 to Scheduling, he moved later
to Production Control, chiefly in
the medium and large motor
product area. in 1956 Lorne
handled ledgers in what was then
the Power Transformer & Circuit
Breaker Division. In recent years
La'ne's work at Beach Road Plant
involved feeding input to the
computer, and providing in-
formation for inventory control
and the purchasing function,

Teachers
learn about
children
Over 300 elementary school
teachers from all over Ontario
spent their weekend (April 21 and
22) in Toronto learning more
about the ways in which young
children learn.
A new book on Early Childhood
Education, which has just been
published by the Federation of
Women Teachers, was given to
each delegate. This book explores
the complesities which must be
considered when planning ef-
fective learning for young
children.
Attending the conference from
this area were Mary Ellen Walsh
of Walton Public School, Marjorie
Freemanof Robertson Memorial
Scool, Nancy McIntyre of 'Turn -
berry School, Collett Robertson of
Wingham Public School, Marilyn
Bridges of East Wawanosh School
and Karen Anne Wallen of
Stephen Central School.
Dr. Bayne Logan, a professor at
the University of Ottawa, gave a
presentation on children's
emotional development and Dr,
Janet Russell, a professor at
Queen's University, outlined how
children learn to use language,
Dr. Marcel Kinsbourne from the
Toronto Hospital for Sick
Children explained the causes of
hyperactivity and advised
teachers how such behaviour can
be managed. There was dis-
cussion on the pros and cons of
using tranquilizers with children.

Beef support price set
The Ontario Beef -Calf Income
Stabilization Program support
price has been set at 51.5c per
pound for 1978. The enrolment
fee is $8.00 per cow,
Enrolment forms have been
mailed to producers who have
been in the program. Ap.
plications are to be completed and
mailed by May 31st, 1978.
Any producer who did not
receive his enrolment form, or
has not been in the program and
wishes to participate may do so by
picking up an enrolment form at
the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food Office in
Clinton.
Cow -calf men who have not
participated in the program pre-
viously are asked to complete a
contract as well and return both
firms to the Ontario Ministry of+
Agriculture and Food office by
May 31st.
If the average market price of
Ontario produced calves sold in
September, October and
November is less than the support
price of 51,5e'a payment will be
made.
The grant will be .85 x 450 x
(51.5 - market price), being
calculated on an average 450 lb.
atlf and an 85% calf crop.

Studies antibiotics
Recent University of Guelph
research has shed new light 00
plan's understanding of disease -
producing organisms and their
genetic properties.
With the increasing use of
antibiotics in treatment and
prevention of disease, malty
strains of bacteria have now
become resistant to various
antibiotics. At the sank tinge.
some strains of bacteria ocCIII'I'lilg

produce greater quantities of
disease -producing toxin than
ot hers. The degree of virulence of
the deseasc organism is directly
related to its rosin -producing

keep them confined.
Signs to watch for in a rabid
animal are hard to pin down. Dr.
Bill Thompson, of Health of
Animals, Seaforth, reported that
if specific symptoms arc listed
and a pet owner doesn't recognize
the symptoms or if the animal
docs not react in the prescribed
mainner then the owner feels that
his pet does not have the disease.
If the animal acts out of the
ordinary a vet should be
consulted.
The areas with the most
recorded cases arc East
Wawanosh, West Wawanosh and
Ashfield townships ' although
other cases have been reported
throughout the county.
The scheduling of a rabies
clinic in Huron County is decided
by Health of Animals, the Huron
County Health Unit and the.
number of enquiries about having
a clinic, plus the number of
diagnosed rabies cases.
The cost of having a clinic is
high and the immunity gained
from these immunization shots
lasts for dogs, between three and
tour years. In cats, the immunity
docs not last as long.
The only sure way to diagnose a
rabies case is to send the head of
the animal in question to the lab
in Ottawa through Health of
animals in Seaforth and have it
tested.
Health of animals officer Dr.
'Thompson pointed out that "It is
too risky with humans involved to
go by diagnosis without a lab
result",

base of concern for some years
about ill(ksCI'illlillate use of anti-
biotics.
The initial studies at the
University 01' Guelph were
conducted to determine whether a
naturally occurring population of
Escherichia coli could be found in
'which both toxin genes and
antibiotic resistance genes
existed on the sank plasmic!.
Once such as population was
identified, detailed studies were
conducted to isolate the genetic
material of the plasmid and
examine its structure and
function. These tests confirm that
the genes for both antibiotic
resistance and enterotoxin
production are indeed contained
on a single plasmid. The plasmid
transfers itself; at a high rate to
other bacteria.
'This organism may prove to
be very useful to us," says Prof.
Gyles. He and his collaborators
hope that by using this unique
organism they may be able to
produce mutants that may be
helpful in producing vaccines. He
says that this new knowledge
should lead to a better under-
standing of the basic functioning
of plasmids. It should also
strengthen the case against
indiscriminate use of antibiotics.
Prof. Gyles also states that this
new knowledge clearly indicates
that genetic engineering docs
indeed occur "in the bigger lab of
nature," and is constantly going
on to "tip the scales in favour of
bacteria" in their competition
with elan -made barriers.

Never look for permanence
By Earl K. St. Jean
Our cultural and . religious
chives would have us set store on
permanence. For culture .and
religion 'rest on order and pre-
dictability. In our tinges though
science and technology never
allow us to move slowly and more,
Change is swift, We think even
yet that we have all of time to
adjust to change. We worship at
both altars for at times we look for
permanence and changelessness
and at another we welcome
change. In such plasters as style,
innovation and perfection in art
change is most welcome. The new
must always replace the old but it
should not upset us or incon-
venience us.
Science and technology press
us into moving faster, building
higher and dividing tasks into
smaller and snialler units with
more and more meaning as
specialization, Science teaches us
though, that change need not be
feared if we want to keep an open
mind to an over-all view of our
world. Courage to face litre is
necessary and bravery is needed
to accept new truth, The atom is a
kind of constellation of particles
which move at great speed. Every
solid article like metal of rock is
not solid but a vast energy spent
in motion and is more space than
material. An electric current
through a copper wire crosses
more space than solid stuff. We
are suurounded by laws of nature
we only begin to understand.
Culture and religion are im-
bedded with old and new know-
ledge they have not quite re-
conciled. We shudder at the
thought that if' we thrive to church
in a car andrealizc that we are
powered by fossil fuels instead of
horses we may have to reconcile
geology with our faith.
Far too . frequently we jare
caught praising change in one
form and cursing_..it in another.
We can fly to the Bahamas for a
holiday where we delight in the
changes made by modern
technology but we might not like
Jamaicans to 11)1Iiligt'ate to
Canada. We would prefer the
immigration laws of the thirties or
1 vei11iies•
In the fifties families moved
from the city core to otticr
suburbia, They sold a rambling
Victorian house for a sinarl
rambling bungalow. They sodded
lawns, tended them lovingly even
lived for them`. 't'h'en in the sixties
they gut a yearning for freedom
from lawns and moved to an
elegant appartnlcnt in the city
core, 'Then by the seventies they
wanted to gel away from the city
again and moved out to the
country - where they bought a
heritage home and lavished their
wealth on restoration. They speak
ill terms of heritage, permanence
and indcstructability. 'There was a
time when indcstructability was
loathed,. it was called hand-me-
down clothes!
Science again teaches us that
space and matter are governed by
a third quantity: energy. Il seems
that forms of motion such as
1igh1,eleclrieity, ionization make
our tvorld both one of permanence
and fantastic releases of energy
all at one time, Our culture and
our faith live in the shadow oI' a
huge threat; nuclear bombs.
Scientific knowledge has far-
reaching effects on social evolut-
ion and now we face the task of'
keeping a balance between that
impact and cutural stability. The
fact is that men still accept
change only with reservation.
Culture has to make sense of new
knowledge and that takes time.
In the thirties the west was hit
by double disaster. The depres-
sion and ttrought struck one after
the other or even at the same time
in some places. No people had
faced such bad times in our
history yet sten were ready to
rethink our economics and
politics. Canada found two more
political alternatives.The political
names platter little for they were
a stirring of religious, patriotic
and intellectual principles which
scented to put faith in tackling
problems with one's bare hands
and some real homework, The
heavens seeps to be with us for no
trace of hate or scapegoats carte
into our national life, The drought
subsided and the tutu' put the
economy hack on its feet. But
strangest of all is the fact that
these destitute farmers of the
thirties were sitting on oil that
proved to become the boon to the
whole Canadian economy. Potash
too now adds to the industry of
wheat farming which has been
widely profitable. The change in
the west from the twenties to the
seventies was social, religious,
technological and scientific,' The
fact is that hope was offered at
the gloomiest moment by being
true to the resources at hand.
Sometimes religious expression
has been the link between
prosperity through despair to

The series on T.V. portraying
the life of Maurice Duplessis has
led some commentators to sec in
its popularity the fact that the
Quebecois hanker for the return

a fear of change creeping over
everyone. The return to pater-
nalism of the Duplessis vintage

Christians awake
by Cecile Marquette
Recently I have had the oppor-
tunity of travelling many miles
across Canada and the thing that
became most evident was the
awakening of our land, 1 lcfl Blyth
in early April, leaving behind
snow and the remaining dead
debrec of winter. Returning two
weeks later I found tree, budding,
green grass, freshly plowed
fields, and spring flowers
blooming. 1t seems as if God was
saying; wake up ye lands, the
winter is ended, it is time to
become fruitful and multiply.
I believe we as Christians need
to be as the land. We need to
awake, break forth into song and
praise of our creator. Lel us tell

4-H club ends busy season
Blyth's 3 4-H Clubs are nearing
the completion of this winter's
dub "Focus on Living", Leaders
for this club have been Marg,
Siertsema and UTA Richmond for
Blyth 1, Donna Hanan and Joann
McDonald for Blyth iI, and Elva
Brown and Hazel Elliott for Blyth
111,
At meeting 1, we learned the
significance of the 4-H Crest, and
what 4•H means to each member,
under the title "It's your Life",
We touched on Mental and
Emotional Health and learned
that maturing requires effort • it
doesn't just happen,
Quilting was the topic for the
second meeting. We each had to
snk( a 41/2" quilted sample, with
the top being made of 4 squares
of cotton material. We started by
making the templates, cutting the
squares, sewing them together by
hand, and then quilting them to a
back with quilt bat between.
Junior Girls '02 - 15) could make
this sample into a pin cushion, for
their craft for this Club, The
Senior girls have to complete an
item of quilting, knitting or
crocheting, as well as their
quilted sample.
At this meeting the groups
chose club names Blyth I are the
Hearty, Handy, H ealthy,
Helpers. Blyth iI are the Granny
Squares; Blyth III are the
"Healthy, Handy, Hobby
Helpers".
Meeting 111 was titled
"Learning through Leisure".
Mrs. Richmond demonstrated
ceramics, Mrs. Glousher had a
large display of crocheted and
knitted articles which gave the
girls real insight into the wide
range of articles which can be
created in one's home in spare
time, Jean Siertsema outli ned
the different • Agricultural -4-H
Clubs, and Jr. Farmers, all of
which are educational and fun, as
well as occupying "empty
•hour's". Mrs. Elliott introduced
indoor gardening as an
interesting hobby. The most
popular topic for this' meeting
proved to be photography. Mr.
Harve McDowell made this
subjelet most attractive,
discussing various cameras and
equipment and showing a variety
of pictures and enlargements he
has taken, showing how to centre
a subject, get the light right, etc.
For our meeting on ' People,
Ideas and Laws", we discussed,
k in our individual groups, How
Canadians Govern' Themselves,
Basic Freedoms -rights and
responsibilities, and each told
what she is doing for her
contribution to her community,
Most are helping elderly people
in various ways, including
entertaining senior citizens or
crocheting squares to be used as
knee -warmers by wheel -chair
persons. To start this meeting,
the 3 clubs attended Blyth Village
Council meeting, in a body, and
found it most informative.
Another topic, dealt with by the
3 clubs together was "Think
Safety". Constable John Wray of
the O.P.P. covered the subject of
baby sitting. He was followed by
Dave Lee of Blyth Fire Dept,
showing 3 filsm, "Fire Safety for
Baby Sitters", "Fire in a
Kitchen", & "Hot Cords . Can
Burn". Both speakers answered
questions and handed out helpful
brochures Hazardous Product
Symbols and P'disonous ,Plants
were also covered on the subject
of "Safety",
Mr. Randy Kisch, of the
Goderich Branch of the St.
John's Ambulance Assoc., was
the speaker for a meeting on First
Aid, He demonstrated
bandaging, how to stop bleeding,
how to make sure a person can
get oxygen, how to help a person
who is unconscious or is having a
heart attack, treatment for a
burn, etc. The girls fielded
numerous questions for Mr.
Kisch to answer, Some expressed
an interest in taking the St.
John's Ambulance Cours e,
"How 1 keep Physically Fit''
%gas the roll call for yet another
sleeting when we also discussed
"why keep fit?" "what to eat and
why", and covered "guidelines to
meal planning". We played a
game called "The Key to Good
Health", and talked about snack
finds • some good - some not so
g(x)d tot' us,
A sleeting on the environment
featured a visit to Walden's sugar
bush. •
T o bring our project to a close;
)vc all met together again at Blyth
Introduelion.
Immigration is one of the most
important influences in (Canadian life.
It always has been.
Immigration affects us culturally;
socially and economically. Domestically
and internationally.
'Ib ensure that immigration continues
to work for the good of Canada, our
inlinigration law has undergone some
significant changes. And whether
you're a fifth generation citizen or just a
visitor; yOU ought to know what's new.
For the last four years, individuals
and organizations have made suggestions
for change to Canada's immigration
law and policy.
Many of the responses received have
become part of the new immigration
law, designed to serve everyone's hest
interests for years to come.
I''or the first time, the basic purposes
and principles of our immigration
law are clearly stated in the law itself. All
other provisions of the law, and the
way they are called out by immigration
officers, now flow from these purposes
and principles;
Non-discrimination. Reunion
of families. Humanitarian concern for
refugees,And the promotion of Canada's
economic, social and cultural goals,
Just words you say? Well read on,
because the rest of the new law has been
carefully written to make it possible
for Canada to live up to its word.

blueprint that allows for unexpected
change. Its influence on the fabric

governments will share many responsi-
bilitivs.'f'o this end, formal agreements
on immigration planning and manage-
ment will he made with the Provinces.
Each year; after federal -provincial
discussions, a target figure for im-
migration volume will be announced,
The number will depend upon national,
regional, economic and social goals.
Immigrants will he encouraged to settle
in places where their particular skills
are really needed. They will be discour-
aged from settling in places where
employment is a problem.
Generally speaking,•illegrial,immi-
gr'ants will find the law tougher than
ever. As will those people who exploit

The future of immigration in Canada
cannot be controlled by an ironclad

law combines humanity, justice,

Report from Queen's Park
by Murray Gaunt, M.P.P.
'I'hc Provincial 'Treasurer has
been forced by the combined
Opposition Parties to back down
on the major revenue -raising iteral
in his March 7th Budget. 1t was
the Treasurer's intention to raise
the 0111P premiums by 37.5% as
of the 1st of May, increasing
single monthly coverage from $16
to $22, family coverage from $32
to $44, In a statement in the
Legislature on 'Tuesday, April

that the premium increase will be
reduces 50% - to 18.75% -
resulling in a rate of $19 a month
for individuals and $38 a month
for hullilics.
Had the originally planned
premium increase been put into
effect, some $271 million in
additional revenue would have
been generated, to pay a higher
share of the Province's health
care costs. At the n1CW lower rate,
premiums will only generate $126
million more. To -_make up the
difference, the Treasurer an-
nounced that the Government will
reduce spending by $73 million,
partly by means of a freeze on
hiring in the civil service. Also,
the Minister of Revenue has
introduced a bill to raise the
Corporate Income Tax one per-

25 In Memoriam
TAYLOR: In loving memory of a
dear wife, mother and grand-
mother, Mrs. Verna Taylor, who
passed away April 27, 1976.
Two beautiful eyes are sleeping,
Two willing hands are still,
For one who was loved very
much,
Is resting in God's will.
She never said good bye to us,
Perhaps it's just as well,
We never could have said good
bye,
to one we loved so well.
—Ever remembered by husband,
Everett and family. 25-18x1
DURNIN: In loving memory of
our son, and brother, Donald,
who passed away May 3, 1971.
Seven sad and lonely years have
passed,
Since that great sorrow fell,
The shock that we received that
day,
No one can ever tell.
Your end came sad and sudden,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
Only God knows the reason why,
A golden heart stopped beating,,
Two working hands at rest,
Godbroke our hearts to prove to
us,
He only takes the best.
—Sadly missed by Dad, Mom,
brothers, sister and families.
