They are Bob and H elen Freer and they have set themselves up in the hardware business. Recently Grant Sparling sold his business of 27 years t o Mr. and Mrs, Freer. Originally from Sarnia Township, the Freers are adventuring into a new way of life complete with new faces, Neither Bob or Helen have lived anywhere but the Sarnia area, "When we married I moved from hone to my husband's home only 15 miles aw ay and that was like the end of the world", laughed Mrs. Freer. "Now friends ask what happened", said Helen, and I have to say I just did not put my foot down soon enough". The Freers farmed a small acreage neaer SArnia working mainly with cash crops and pigs. Mrs, Freer worked in a jewellery and gift store and Mr. Freer worked on construction before they both decided on this move. The Freers came in touch with Blyth through Iola Bailey who they knew from previous business and she in turn put them in touch with local realtor Mason Bailey. The Freer family consists of Maryanne who is a nurse, Brian, 14 and Brad, 15 and Bruce, 25, who live at home. Both Brad and Brian are finishing school in sarnia before completing the move north to Blyth. Neither of the Freers had any relatives or friends in the area before arriving. "We were near the city or chemical valley and felt that it was not good for the kids," pointed out Helen Freer, "The kids like the farm country and the opportunities are better." The Freers wish to continue the good business that the Sparlings have kept going for 27 years. They welcome anyone 1sho wishes to meet them to drop in to their new store.

No maternal deaths in 5 years For the past five years, there haven't been any maternal deaths in Huron County hospitals. This is only one of many statistics contained in the 1977 annual report of the Huron County Health Unit. in 1977, there were 861 births to residents of Huron County. Although there were no maternal deaths, five babies were stillborn; there were five neonatal deaths (up to 28 days after birth) and three infant (up to one year of age) deaths in the county. The minty's birthrate has fluctuated constantly during the five years froni • 1973 to 1977, The biggest year was 1976 when 900 v,ere born while the fewest births were the 849 recorded the pre- vious year. In a .report submitted by CatherineWalsh, director of the public health nursing program, Miss Walsh reports prenatel classes across the county are in greater demand and attendance is increasing. Other clinics and classes which attracted the most attendance during the year were the pre- school clinics, and the dental and health education programs. Miss Walsh reported, "Mental health has increasingly absorbed the public health nurses' time ." In 1977, 970 mental health contacts were made by the nurses, _The nursing director added, "Close liaison is maintained with the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital Psychiatric Unit in Goderich and with the London Psychiatric Hospital and their mobile team, who run a weekly mental health clinic at the Exeter Health Unit office."

Immediately I read on to find out why. Surely the foretsts wer not already dried out to that flammable state that so many of us are familiar with during the long hot summers (that seem to be only a memory now). The Ministry of Natural. Resources has banned all open fires in a cigar -shaped 256 -square kilometre (100 square mile) are of forest killed by smelter fumes northeast of Wawa. It is reported that fumes containing sulphur from an iron ore smelter have permeated the layer of needles and refuse on the forest floor and also killed large areas of white birch, balsam and jack pine. The trees are highly -inflam- mable and fires in the surface material, because of the sulphur content, would be extremely hard to put out. The concern the department had was for people locally and travellers who fish in the area. The fear of an intensive and wnsumign fire through the district would be too easily started. The first thing I thought of was not the danger of the fire but of the people in that same area who have been breathing that air. The irony of the situation is that there is more care given to our forests after the damage than is given to the people in the sante area in question. Truth of the matter is maybe because man has caused the damage to mother nature maybe in our own way we are overlooking our hazards to ourselves in order to pay for the damage we have created all over our suddenly small country. Food for thought. If you were living in that area of Canada what would you think upon reading that newsy bit in your local paper?

(9)°PrA% Lifestyle is a personal a- wareness of good health habits, it's following them or choosing to ignore them. Here is another little item I thought many would find amusing? it concerns our magnificent education system. The University of Western Ontario has sponsored a Spring Conference for High School guidance counsellors, principals raid liaison officers and admission staff from Ontario's Universities. One of the topics debated was "University education should lead to employment". When 1 read that my mind immediately leaped to the time 1 draped Math after grade ten. The guidance counsellor phone home and diastised my mother for allowing such a thing to occur. My mother was under the distinct impression that maybe I knew what i wanted. Maybe I didn't. The loss prevented me from entering another program later in time. The point 1 am trying to come across with is maybe 1 compensated in other areas to make up for the loss of Math and I feel that the way things have turned out maybe that mad scrambling to make everything right made me work harder. In schools today how much do they teach about responsibility? Look at how many people go from high school in the married situation without any prior knowledge about living with the opposite sex, insurance payments and rates, housing conditions and what to look for when renting and what to avoid. What about income? How much do you keep for food, how much goes into utilities, clothing , entertainment? Better still how many learn about sound invest- ments and taxes and income tax deductions and rights under the law, With so much American TV how many of any of us know what our rights are? There is a difference between the two countries. Yes university should lead to employment. The whole idea of furthering your education is to better your position and enlarge job opportunities when you get out., with the rate of unemployment as it is, it is with little wonder so many young people opt for the job before higher education. Maybe it is just as well. The valuable experience learned from first hand experience is invaluable. Maybe the shelter of our vast and complete universities keeps people so out of reaslity of the world taht bustles around them that the shock of landing in a world without a job and perhaps over educated is just too much for some. If anybody can get an education and then a job without any pressures then more power to them. I for one am for teaching more about the real things that happen after leaving our educational institutions.

Registration Number 1319 Debt burdens in Geneva, the rich industrialized nations of the world have been discussing one of the great issues of our time -- how to ease the debt burdens of some of the poorest countries on earth. One of the awkward features about the indebtedness of these developing countries is the frequent confusion about the size of the amount owed, and what kind of debt has been contracted by which countries. Although this is somewhat of an oversimplifi- cation, it is fair to say that according to the United Nations and the World Bank, the debts owed by all developing countries to the rich world will surpass the staggering figure of $300 billion some time next year. Statistics indicate that the debt burden has been growing by more than 25% annually in recent years. The outstanding official debt of the 29 poorest and least developed countries was less than $7 billion in 1975 -- but brought interest and capital payments of about $500 million. Yet the $500 million was the equivalent of a whole month's imports for the poorest 29. Now there is some hope of relief at last. Canada, Switzerland the Netherlands and Sweden have led the way by writing off some of the outstanding loans to the poorest nations. West Germany is ready to convert some of its Third World loans into. gifts. Britain is seriously considering forgiving much of its official debt to the very poor nations. Although commercial bankers tend to have nightmares about the more than $50 billion they have lent to the Tess developed countries between 1973 and 1976, they can really sleep soundly. It is unlikely that even the poorest countries will allow themselves to be led down the slippery slope to mass gaincellations and debts and default. This would hardly be in their interest. But the fact is that if the richer governments can see their way clear to help the economies of the very poorest by writing off the official debts, they will be on the way to recovery. The explosion in the poor world debt stems largely from the $10 billion increase in the annual oil bill,the poor nations have had to meet during the past four years. Canada and a few other affluent nations have shown the way. It is now up to the United States, Japan, West Germany and other well-to-do countries to follow suit and to join a global effort to ease the burdens of the poor.

"Baseball Team Seeks Competition" The Maple Equestrian Spartans, a Slowpitch baseball team comprised of amen from age fifteen to twenty-two is desperately seeking viable competition.

Corcoran Wild live bunnies Behind the scenes By Keith Roulston Will spring ever come? p � Little bits and pieces keep coming up this week when the blank piece of paper was rolled into the typewriter, but nothing big enough to write a whole column about, So we'll have a bits and pieces column instead, First of all there's the weather, much an all as we'd like to forget it. What I keep wandering is what ever happened to normality, when it comes to the weather? I was beginning to think that perhaps we were going to get some normal weather back there about February when it stopped snowing and the sun actually shone for several days in a row, even if it was cold. That was the closest thing to normal weather l can recall in the three years since we moved out in the country to Muddy Lane Manor. We'd had two of the worst winters on memory and two summers that were cold and damp or hot and dry by turn. Crops either died from being too wet or dried up from not enough moisture. There was no happy medium. So I breathed a bit of a sigh of relief after February adn thought maybe we'd broken the cycle. But then March came followed by an equally gloomy April and now May is half over and we're still wa;ad, for some enjoyable spring weather. In may so far with the exception of a couple of days, it seems like we've had tine March winds and the April showers rolled up together nearly every day. We may have had the May flowers too but frankly, I've been too cold and disgusted to go out and look for them. ****** Fans of the Toronto Maples Leafs may have. been disappointed in the fast dispatch of their heros by the Montreal Canadiens but the success of the Canadiens is probably the best thing to happen to hockey in Canada in the last dozen years. There are those who claim that the complete dominance that the Montrealers have shown in the past few years is bad for hockey. More than once the cry "break up the Canadiens" has been heard. But as long as the team continues to dominate the:way it does, it will set the style of hockey for the country, right down to the littlest gaffer who can hardly stand up on his skates yet. It seems only yesterday that another team To the editor: wan dominating the game with skills, not so much of skating and scoring, but of tripping, hooking, and fighting. That team convinced many teams and many young players that the way to success in hockey was through roughness and bending the rules. But the Canadiens have shown themselves imperious to the hook, the trip and the spear. They not only win, but they. humiliate the other team with the ease of their victory. Other teams in the league wanting to win, will be trying to build fast, skilled teams once they realize that their efforts to maul the Canadiens into submission aren't successful. Young children like to emulate winners and the winners they will emulate will be theLafleurs, Shutts and Cournoyers, not the Dave Schultz' of the league. As for the cry of breaking up the Canadiens, that won't be necessary. Some day, perhaps soonerhaps a few years away yet, the bubble will suddenly burst and the team that seemed invincible will seem ordinary. It's happened before. Some people were predicting, , adynasty for the Philadelphia Flyers only a couple of years ago. Before that people wondered if anyone would ever take the Stanley Cup away from Boston with stars like Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito. That day of reckoning too is corning for the Canadiens and it may come sooner than anyone now thinks. All it takes is for one team to discover how to wreekthe Canadiens skilled system. ****** For those interested in the pitter patter of little feet we wrote about a couple of weeks back, the 32 little feet have been reduced to only eight. If you think we're relieved to have found homes for six of our eight little pups, you should see their mother. With eight little mouths yapping at her heals, old momma had retreated to sleeping in the house while the pups played outside. Since the number has been reduced, she seems to be taking some joy in her offspring again. Now instead of sleeping she's often outside rolling in the grass and playing with them, The lady of the house says she doesn't blame her. If she had eight kids, she'd probably just like to curl up in a quiet corner and sleep too. Renovations You will find enclosed a copy of the letter we received from our architects, Hill and Borgal, which was sent as a result of the letters sent by Mr. John Rutledge, and the Blyth Legion, concerning renovations to the Blyth Memorial Hall. Please note that we have only completed a feasability study. It was approved in order to get fund raising under way, and is far from being a finalized plan. Before such a plan is completed, all organizatons involved with the Hall will be consulted and included. We do appreciate the interest and concern of these parties. Many of the points mentioned in their letters had already been pointed out by our board. Also please keep in mind that our architects, Hill and Borgal, are noted in our arca for their work with Heritage Organiza- tions, and have carried out many restoration nrnierts. Susan M.

There will be another euchre next Monday To the editor: (Continued from Page tV Dear Mr. Roulston and Members of the Board; Re: Rutledge Letter, April 7, 1978 We thank you for your letter of April 14th and a copy of the letter from John Rutledge dated April 7. We appreciate the interest Mr. Rutledge has shown in the addition to the Centre for the Arts in Blyth and his criticism's of our design has prompted us to re -think various aspects of the exterior treatment of the addition. Before we respond specifically to his criticism's, it should be borne in mind that a sound and practical plan has been evolved fo the addition together with a specification for the improvements required to the existing structure. In this regard, we and the Board are satisfied. Mr. Rutledge is concerned that the exterior treatment of the addition as we have designed will detract from the beauty of the Blyth. Memorial Hall, Our design shows a steel clad addition, the same height as the existing building elevation, set back to the rear, and accommodating scenery preparation areas, change rooms and service areas. The roof is flat. Mr. Rutledge advocates brick 'as the exterior wall material of the addition to match the existing Hall, a gable roof as opposed to flat roof and windows of a similar design and proportion as the existing windows. We wish now to respond to these observations one by one. Our selection of the exterior steel cladding was based on one prime consideration --economy. We were determined to design the addition in the most functional and practical manner at the least cost. Metal cladding was the result. Brick is a preferable finish to ensure a blend with the existing building. With Mr. Rutledge's prompting, 1 believe we should consider brick, because as he so rightly observed, the Memorial Hall is a distinctive work of architecture on the Main Street of Blyth, and any building addition should compliment this fact. The Board will have to decide to what extent they are prepared to alocate additional money for the use of brick, Mr. Rutledge's opinion that the roof should be pitched as opposed to flat to compliment the existing is again a valid point. However, the addition is to the rear and our intention was to down -play its presence and bulk inorder that the larger existing building predominates. In this regard the flat roof we feel is acceptable, however, on reconsider- ation, one roof height to the addition, as opposed to two as shown at present would be a cleaner simpler result. Accordingly, we will give attention to altering the design to achieve one flat roof in line with the cave of the existing Hall. The windows in our design of the addition Mr Rutledge believes do not compliment or fit comfortably with those in the existing Hall. There are actually very few windows, four to be precise in the addition, and these when detailed will compliment the existing. Sill and lintel and frames maybe constructed of wood in the same proportions to the existing without loss of function. To summarize, we believe Mr. Rutledge has raised some valid points worthy of consider- ation by ourselves and the Board. We hope and trust other members of the community will likewise voice their concerns so that prior to commencing the final working drawings for the addition, we night be able to consider such design alternatives. W:e are confident that with such participation an addition will be built that the community will be proud to possess.

After spending twelve years in the ARgentine doing missionary work the only culture shock he laughs about now is the prices in Canada, "But in Argentine it is worse", points out Rev, Roberts. In Argentina the cost of living has gone up 700 per cent. Three years ago the Roberts bought a car which cost 6 million old pesos. "That same car today would cost 330 million pesos (in devalued pesos)" said Mr. Roberts. "Why even meat has gone up. In the ARgentine 7 kilograms of meat would have cost 8,000 pesos but with inflation that same measure of meat would cost 300,000 pesos," Rev, Roberts said. The Roberts are originally from Wales and their missionary service has led them to work in the province of Padagonia located in the arid southern regions of Argentina. Madlsyn Roberts was pastor at the United Church in Auburn between November 1966 to June 1969. During that time they made friends there who welcome them back now. Rev, Roberts presently carries alarge load in the Chubu area, he is pastor with 2 churches and is interim pastor for two more located 600 kilometers away in the Andes, Due to the large settlement of Welsh people in the area, Rev, Roberts also preaches in Welsh once a month in three other churches, The Agentine has been known for their military government and sometimes harsh treatment. Rev. Roberts explains that of the choices offers the people of ARgentine, the military government protects them. The rule of the revolutionaries would bring terror and fear, he says. The religious sects and churches in ARgentina have protested the unjust imprisonment of many people. "The people come to their church to look for help when relatives are whisked away into the night", pointed out Rev. Roberts. "The churches are involved: In one case of a friend of ours who is a minister, his two sons were caught with Marxist material and have been IMPRISONED." "You have to be careful. The law is the law, The people are free from fear under the military government provided theys tay within reason of what is right or wrong under the military rule", said Rev. Roberts.' "If y ou are caught bearing arms against the government you are executed 24 hours latere", he said Certificate In Argentina, a certificate is required in order to hold a service. The Ministry of the Exterior, under religious services has only prevented four sects from practising, - out of 1,300 that have applied. "There is always the threat of a revolution pointed out Rev. Roberts. "Even political parties could not meet as that niay lead to a revolution". The style of living in Chubu is much the sante as the European way. The WEIsh were the first to settle here in 1865 and now more than 25,000 people live in the arca from every nation. "There is a good cross section of wealth", Rev. Roberts said. There are more cars and there is a strong middle class, but as inflation keeps on, the middle class drops into the lower class, • pointed out Rev, Roberts, The Indian population is small and people come from other bordering countries when there are problems in their own. From Chile comes a large group to work, the middle class of Uraguay cane in full force when political problems erupted there commented Rev. Roberts. "People are breaking over the border from Bolivia to take land and in Chile there is a diance of war so people flee to ARgentina," "There is an atmosphere of tension but there is no interference from others and there is more a feeling of fellowship among the people and diurches", pointed out Rev. Roberts. "There are few middle groups like the anglicans and Presby- terians but most of the sects are growing towards penticostal", said Rev. Roberts. For example in Trelcw there is a poplulation of 60,000 and over 50 different little sects. Many of then have more than one church. Rev. Maldwyn Roberts' work is sponsored by the division of World Outreach program of the United Church of Canada. Mrs, Minnie Roberts works with three sisterhood groups in various churches. The Roberts have three children. At present Margaret, 24, is teaching their other daughter Anna her fourth year of schooling in Spanish so she will not lose a year of schooling while in Canada. Anna is 10 years old. In the fall Margaret will be studying in Alberta, Willilam, their son, is presently working at a Yonge Street Mission house in Toronto and studying at home for his grade twelve. While the mbersts were travelling years ago William missed out on some of his education. All three children speak three languages fluently; Spanish, English and Welsh, The Roberts have been staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Oliver Anderson in Auburn, They will travel to Windsor to take part in the world Outreach conference before carrying on with their study plans.

(Staff Photo) Report from Queen's Park By Murray Gaunt Opposition members of the Legislature berated the Ontario Government this week for refusing to release publicly - financed opinion polls, suggesting that the Government was using them for partisan 111rposes. Education Minister Toni Wells denied that the polls which were commissioned by his Ministry are being used for plotting election strategy. The Ministry has commissioned six polls at a cost of $340,000. Only one poll has been made public. Every Ontario kindergarten teacher will be expected to test students to see which need special education help, start 'ing this September. Mr. Wells indicated that the school system hasn't had good identification of children with 'coming disabilities in the past. Research indicates that tuuchcrs should find that 18% of the children need sonie kind of extra help. The Ontario Government has ljven. in to considerable public hn'essure', and has returned about lt)"/, of the Niagara Escarpment planning arca to the control of municipal councils.

Books are board topic The Huron County Board of Education sent its ' dirty book problem to a committee Monday to decide if three English liter- ature texts c011ta111 material "objectionable" for teaching county secondary school students. The board voted to give the problem to the school programs policy committee which decides what textbooks to recommend to the board for use in the class- rooni. 111.e !love was made to avoid another confrontation between teachers and students who feel the books arc worthwhile and parents who feel they should be banned from school use, The three books --The Diviners by Margaret Laurence, Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger and of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, --became the centre of attention for a third time recently when the St. Joseph's Catholic Women's League from Kingsbridge, began a letter writing campaign to have them taken off the list of books used in the secondary school English literature curriculum in Huron. • The CWL cited about half a dozen excerpts from each novel in a campaign involving board trustees, parents, members of parliament, the minister of education, township councils in the county and other Catholic Women's Leagues. The campaign asked that the groups and individuals contact the board requesting the three novels be banned in Huron high schools, Seaforth trustee John Henderson said at Monday's hoard meeting that he would like more positive action taken by the board, He said the board had "wrestled with the problem" before and still faced the same controversy. Mr. Henderson said once the issue went to the education committee, once to the ,executive committee and now the school programs committee. He said he %%muld like the !lotion sending the three novels to the committee amended to have The Diviners taken off the list. Director of education John Cochrane told the board that by doing that the board would probably face another parent - teacher -student confrontation. He said that move was suggested before and one board !meeting brought the groups together in an emotional display that solved nothing. Mr. Cochrane suggested that by sending the matter to the committee the problem could be resolved between the principals of the schools, English depart- ment heads and trustees. He said the books would probably not be on the list of texts for next year if the board took that route. "Il would be a fair bet, if' I were a betting man, that the books won't appeal' on the list next year," he said. "'That's the reason they were sent to the committee." 'illllrll' -7 Ihi Ili i I IIIIi!

Anyone who suspects they have found the caps is asked to call the O.P.P. or the local Seaforth police immediately. Constable McLeod said the caps are "highly explosive in the wrong hands." The dynam ite was being stored in a powder magazine on the Hullett Township site. The theft was discovered early Monday morning. The dynamite Minister study caps are valued al about $2,60).

Marquette Have you ever had the privilege of picking cherries? I'd like to share niy experience, and the lesson it taught me, with you. Before picking any cherries I needed some equipment. I found a rather delapidated old ladder and an eleven quart basket.l call the ladder delapidated because' one end was about three feet difference in the length on each side and the other ends twas only about six inches difference in the length of the legs, Having mustered up my courage 1 climbed my ladder (with fear and trembling) and began to pick. Soon the cherries in that spot were gone but instead of getting clown and moving the ladder, 1 pulled and stretched to get as many cherries as possible. Soon nay basket was full but 1 continued to pick the cherries and let ,then fall to the earth. After, picking all the cherries 1 could possibly reach made the long descent to the ground, Of course I had to pick up tie cherries that had dropped to the earth, As I was picking them up it became dark, and 1 stepped an several. Soup winning is much like my cherry picking experience. If we. try to win anyone to Christ without the Holy Spirit leading tuul guidiat,>; us we are groping in the dark. The result might be that they au'c lost forever. If we give ourselves to Christ and are willing to be used by hini as his instrument then many niay come to know Christ. We alight think eve don't have anything Christ could use. Moses made many excuses but God used him marvellously. 'i'hc little boy with the five loaves and two fish didn't have much but God richly blessed his little lunch. The disciples were common ordinary men. Sarah was an old woman when Isaac was born. Little is much when God is in it. 1 also learned never to become discouraged, A person may have to hear the gospel of ,Jesus Christ repeatedly before they accept Hirai as their own personal Saviour and Lord. The last thing 1 did with the cherries was to pit them analmake cherry pie. When a person is born again then they need to.be taught so that they nature in Christ. They loo then need to "Go ye therefore, and 'teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son adn of the Holy Ghost: teachingand ;:m to observe whatsoever 1 have commanded you: and lo I ani with you always, even unto the end of the world."

Eliot once wrote: "April is the cruellest month." 1 don't know about that — Novcnlbcr is no slouch in this country, when it miles to cruelty — but April is certainly no crlrgain around I1c1'c, Lt's a sort of zilch month. All the other months have some charactCr, eXCept a fore said November. 'They're either something to make you look forward with anticipation, backward with relief, or to ,just plain enjoy. May is golf and fishing and grass greening laid flowers blooming, June is the first heat wave, lilac scent, mosquitoes, and sii111111C1' just ahead. July and August are summer in all its glory, hot dogs, swimming, camping, baseball, trips, summer theatre. family reunions, cottaging. September is a glorious month, usually. Warm enough, everybody getting back into the groove, new schoolmates, new interests, new friends, new follies to commit oneself to. October is great; sharp air, fresh produce, golden sun, football, magnificent foliage, Thanksgiving weekend. Let's skip ruddy November. But December is exciting with fresh snow, Christmas with all its ramifications, holidays corning up, families getting together. January and February are brutal but challenging. We're right into the curling and skiing, the daily battle to stay alive, and the knowledge that once we're over the hump. about Feb. 20, the worst lies behind. Even rotten March has its compensations: Easter, worst of the winter over, March break, and only one or two more snowstorms to survive. Then cones cruddy April. There's nothing to do out of doors. Curling and skiing are finished, and it's too early for golf and fishing. Nothing to do outside except catch a cold in that frigid wind blowing off the ice in the bay. it's a dirty month. There's salt and sand and mud on the streets, to be tracked into the house. It's a pain in the arm for housewives. That lousy yellow sun peers insolently through the windows, illuminating dirty panes, smeared wallpapers, spots on the rug, stains on the chairs, and well -fingered .woodwork, none of which showed up in the dear dark days of winter. The home -maker's heart sinks. Male homeowners are just plain em- barrassed as the snow imperceptibly melts, revealing all manner of junk on front and back lawn. This year I watched with growing dismay the surfacing of.four daily papers, in their yellow plastic wrappers on the front lawn, where some turkey kid had thrown them when there was four feet of snow on siad area. Then up crept one disgusting item after another. Lawnmower peeping first its head, Burns Ucw The Burns U.C.W. met at the honk of Mrs, Ray Hoggarth on Wednesday afternoon. Hazel Reid opened the meeting with a reading, followed by a hymn and Jean Leiper led in prayer. Gloria McEwing read the Scripture from Proverbs 30 verses 10-31. A poem "Springtime" was given by Joan Middegaal and Hazel Reid gave an interesting reading on Jamaica. Joan Hoggarth introduced special guest Mary Hoggarth who demonstrated cake decorating. On behalf of the U.C.W. Beryl Reid thanked Mary and presented her with a gift. Hazel Reid thanked everyone who helped with the meeting. Mrs. Rice was in charge of the business and gave a reading.

Last fall's oak leaves, caught 00 the ground by the first snowstorm, about three inches thick, looking about as appetizing as the meat in a particularly repellent shepherd's pie, April is also a rough month on teachers. If the sun is shining, however feebly, students gasp wildly, pretend theyfre dying of heat, throw all the classroom window wide to the 40 degree breeze that spells bronchial pneumonia to the less hot-blooded pedant. For university students about to graduate, April is hellish. Final exams loons like the Furies of old, and all the procrastination begins to catch up. And these days, 90 per cent of them are quite convinced they won't get a job, on graduation. Speaking of nothing to do outside, as 1 was cmay back there, there is nothing to do inside either. Unless you want. to watch large, young, sweaty, overpaid athletes splash each other into the boards, as the pro hockey playoffs wend their way wearily toward the finals. This year, April was worse than usual, with a thousand windbags expelling their contents into the air about an upcoming election. Suddenly, all sorts of people who couldn't care less whether you got ingrown toenails or fell into a cess -pool, began showing great friendliness and sincerity, a genuine concern about your point of view and how you would vote. And I think the month of April is pretty well brought to its climax by the income tax return, due on the last day of that miserable month. I always feel that i've been beaten, raped, and left naked by the side of the road, when that ordeal is over, It doesn't cheer .me up much to look around and sec all the people diddling the unemployment insurance, all the former students, now fairly affluent, who never paid back their student loans. Looking back, all I can say is that April is Awful, Thank goodness for May. Not to mention Pearly, Ruby, and Mabel. 12 Noon to 5 p.m. Continuing activities throughout the afternoon THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 17, 1978 -- 13 Auburn busy with guests Over 30 relatives gathered at the home of Mrs. Charles Merrill in honour of her I niece Miss Sherry Plaetzcr, bride -elect of this month.

Last year the market was 'operated at the corner of Hwy. 114 and Hwy. 118, but the Iodation didn't offer any cover for vendors when it rained. This year, the association plans to operate the market in Agriculture Park on Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., from June 10 to Sept 29. Ms. Ross said there is a new grandstand in the park, and vendors can move their booths under this shelter in the event of a storm. Also, she said visitors to the market will find ample parking on the grounds of the park. Vendors, who pay a $5 weekly rental fee for their booth, can sell anything with the exception of meat and dairy products. Last year, Ms. Ross said vendors sold fruits and vegetables, plants, flowers, a variety of crafts and home baking. She said the baking in par- ticular was a popular item with market visitors.. Ms. Ross said church groups or other groups such as figure skating clubs, etc. can rent a booth for a money -raising project. Last year, the Clinton Businessmen's Association lost about $1,000 on the market's operation. These expenses were incurred in paying a market clerk, printing publicity materials and advertising the market in the PC44- 1311)414t, HURON '78 /leekC) September 26 - 30, 1978 Huron County media. While Ms. Ross emphasized the association doesn't plan to make money from the market, they arc hopeful this -year's fee structure will cover the operating costs of the market. She said, ''The public response lws be tremendous. It's finding vendors that's difficult ". Ms. Ross said if the farmer's market proves successful, she could see the erection of per- manent stalls sometime in the future.

The delegates were Gordon 13lanchard, president, Leon Maloney, Francis Hickncl1, Jim Maloney and Don Moylan, They reported one of the plain concerns in the township was old ravel pits with dangerous holes filled with deep water. They said A spring survival guide Consumers should beware of fly-by-night home improvement c(nitr ;'yrs at this time of year, the , ► ni'.t''t oI' consumer and Ca11Ii'C'rcial I'C'Ia11o11s has \Val'lle(f. Larry Grossman said the consumer services offices receive many complaints about driveway pavers, pool installers, renovators, roofers and outer home improvement businesses every spring. "Most of the people in this business are honest and competent", said Mr. Grossman, "hilt there are a few bled apples Wm cfo lx►or jobs or don't finish \\hat they start and disappear before the consumer can seek redress. "Numerous complaints concern contractors who had not completed the work as agreed to in the contract. In one instance a home renovator tore a kitchen apart and then disappeared with the payment,`' he said, "However, CO niers should be able to avoid these by following these guidelines." Have a first idea of what you want clone. before work begins. Changing Your mind half way through the job can be very costly. Deal with businesses which have earned good reputations in the community. Make sure any construction conforms to local by-laws. If required, get a building permit. This is not the contractor's responsibility, Get at. least three written estimates providing a detailed list of all work to be done, including clean-up: Ask the contractor for the names and addresses of people for whorl he . has recently completed work and check to see if these people are satisfied, Don't pay more than 10 per cent down as a deposit and don't !my. in full until all work is completed, Get warranty details in writing.. Remember a warranty is only as good as the company backing it. Get , starting and completion dates in writing. You won't be happy if', for instance, your new swimming pool isn't completed until September, Under The Mechanics Lien Act you are required to withhold 15 per cent of the total amount of the contract for 37 days after completion of the job.

In addition to these general points, consumers should heed this advice \\ hen dealing with contractors in the following fields, Driveway pavers: 13c wary of contractors ‘who say they are in' the neighbourhood only for the clay and of'f'er bargain prices, Remember that the contractor giving the cheapest estimate won't necessarily (lo the best job. Remember once you've signed a contract it's a legal and binding (k)cunlenl. Make sure the contract specifies all work to be (Ine before you sign. When the contractor quotes the asphalt depth, make sure he is referring to compacted asphalt. About Iwo inches of compacted asphalt is normal. Remember that the contractor is not responsible for damage to the driveway caused by gas spillage or sharp objects. 1 -le is also not responsible for weeds growing through the asphalt unless the contract slated weed killer would be used.

Another concern was roads, The farmers of McKillop wanted better roads. One of the sugges- tions was to put calcium chloride on the concessions one year and on the sideroads the other. Reeve Allan Campbell said that the concession roads would have to be maintained as now with the calcium put on each year but consideration could be given to doing the sideroads, but it would have to be every year, not every other. He was told, "Crops are as valuable on the sideroads as on the concessions". The delegates said crops along the road suffered from the heavy dust. One said the only time a parson should cut hay was after a rain, Deputy reeve McNichol asked "Are the farmers willing to pay the cost?" LeonMaloney said, "Ye You never hear about high taxes -- just poor roads." The other Federation represen- tative confirmed this viewpoint, and said they thought the extra tax would be no problem. Don Moylan said he often went for a drive and after seeing other roads, "McKillop has the finest roads in Ontario, However, there is always room for improve- ment." Jim Maloney asked if con- sideration had ever been given to buying a second grader for the township anti Reeve Allan Campbell replied that council was in the process of considering one for another year. He said one would cost about $68,000.

Cardno, Box 328, Seaforth OREN • Crafts people at Blyth show By Debbie Ranncy Blyth Centre for the Arts is sponsoring a craft show on Saturday in the Blyth Community Centre although most of the 47 exhibitors involved are from out cf towntthere will still be quite a few Blyth area crafts people. For beginners there is Allan and Suzanne Thompson of Blyth who came to the village in November of 1976 and opened up their own shop, Looms 'n' Leather. Allan does most of the leather work and Suzanne does the weaving. Before corning to Blyth they lived in London where Suzanne worked as a teacher and Allan was doing leather work which he took down to Sarnia, At the show on Saturday they'll have leather purses, and accessories including sun visors, They'll have woven runners and placemats. Mr. Thompson also will demonstrate leather work at the craft show, Mrs. Adrian (Toni) Vos of Blyth will demonstrate spinning. Mrs, Vos started her spinning weaving career in 1972 and began weaving in 1973. For her spinning and weaving Mrs. Vos used nature - dyed yarns and material such as ragweed and goldenrod, elder- berries and their leaves, marigold flowers, milkweed pods, lichen, rhubarb, leaves and fungus. She spins and weaves with cotton and nylon and has even spun dog hair. At the show Mrs, Vos will have some'stoles made from handspun vegetable dyed wool, as well as lnlacemats and handbags made cut of purchased wool. Harold Vodden who is known for his work in chair caning will be there. Mr. Vodden learned how to do chair caning after losing his sight in 1965 when a home teacher trained him. At the craft show on Saturday Mr. Vodden plans to demonstrate chair caning on a chair that will be partially finished. He also will have some of his baskets and benches on display. His son Brock and Mr, Vodden are working on a took which they hope to have ready for that day as well. Mrs. Winnifred Johnston of Blyth will show crafts such as knitting and crocheting. She mikes flowers, baby outfits, tea cosies, Barbie clothes, slippers arid afghans. She had been displaying her work at local fairs until four or five years ago when she began going to craft shows to sell some of her own wares at them. Gary Geiger of R. R. 114,' Walton, makes wooden toys and has been since about 1970 when he and two other men from Stratford were given a LIP grant to start building them. The government paid thein to do the n ork and the toys were supplied to non-profit organizations, mostly nursery schools. All Mr, Geiger's toys are made from white pine and they are all dowelled together. No nails are used. All the square corners are rounded off so that the toys are basically safe for children and no toxic paints are used, Some of the things he will have at the show we rocking horses, dollbeds, doll cradles, cars and trucks, Mrs. Geiger said that she imagined that if sales were slow, Mr. Geiger would have time to do some sanding and assembling of toys to demonstrate his ability. Lil MacLachlan and Jean Storrar from the Kitchen Clipboard in Blyth will show some cf their own handiwork along with ether locally made handicrafts at their table. The two women are starting into their third year of operation at the Kitchen Cupboard. Some of their offerings at the show on Saturday will include their homemade shortbread and jams as well as flower arrangements that they make up ' themselves from dried and silk flowers, Michael Ward of the Pottery in Blyth is uncertain at the moment as to whether he will be giving. a demonstration but at the show on Saturday he will have examples ct his pottery in coffee mugs, planters and some smaller items. Mr, Ward first came to Blyth in 1975 and opened his pottery shop on Queen Street later on in 1976. Mr. and Mrs. John Kerr who live at R. R. 115, Brussels are avid spinners and John will be giving a demonstration of his skill at the craft show. John and Barbara are teachers who had been living near Weinberg before moving to this area about five years ago where they teach courses in spinning. Both John and his wife Barbara are going to be spinning on a spindle and on a spinning wheel with washed and carded wool, They will have some spun yarn for sale as well as drop spindles and carders with books. They arc also going to bring some herbs and Mrs. Kerr said she might even bring some herb bread. Mrs, Kerr will expect to sell some quilts with wool backs both queen size and crib size. There will be raw flecee--British and Canadian --available for sale. Orders will be taken for spinning wheels for anyone interested in getting involved with the ancient art of spinning. Talent from far away and locally should make for an interesting and unusual craft show this Saturday, Huronview Members of the South Huron Christian Women's Club; Mrs. Pearl Erratt, Mrs, Britton, Mrs. Reynolds and Mrs. Hoggarth, led the Sunday evening songservice in the Chapel.
