Air conditioning
in Memorial hall
to save dollars
The proposed air conditioning
for the Memorial Hall may save
approximately 50% in heating
costs, council learned Monday
night.
Keith Roulston , president of
Blyth Centre for the Arts, James
Roy, Director, and Bjorne
Christianson, electrician for the
Theatre, presented council with a
progress report on how re-
novations are progessing for the
'ha11.
The Centre has paid to have a
study done on air conditioning
requirements and the Hall will
need 3-10 ton air conditioning
units. (ton being measurement
for capacity and not size).
"Instead of just air con-
ditioning, it has been suggested
that heat pumps be installed"

Change of
right of way
proposed
Monday evening Blyth council
went for a short walk in order to
view and settle a right of way for
which a change had been re-
quested.
Don Ross, owner of the Tannery,
asked council to change the right
of way behind the Queen street
block which contains his
business,
The right of way presently cuts
around the south east corner of
the block . Mr. Ross suggested
moving the right ofway, taking
the easterly limits and making it
the westerly limit for the road,
"This would give me 30' on the
back of my building which I could
use for future expansion if I
wanted," Mr, Ross said.
Bill Buchanan, Village super-
intendent, pointed out that there
would be a problem with the snow
removal in winter if the road
moved easterly due to a hydro
pole and tree situated there,
Councillors, unable to picture
the problem, went to the site and
stepped out the boundaries.
Council recommened that if
Mr. Ross can get the other parties
with stores along the rightof way,
to agree to .the move they could

Taxpayers to pay less
Taxpayers of the village of
Blyth are in for a surprise this
year, The mill rate for the village
has dropped by 10.50 mills and
the 1978 commercial mill rate by
12.35 mills.
The reason for the good news is
that a 1977 surplus on general
municipal operations reduced the
mill rate for this yeast.,
For comparison, the 1976
deficit increased the 1977
residential mill rate by 4.85 mills.
The budgeted expenditures
include a $10,000 transfer to the
t
reserve for working funds, which
will result in a reserve balance of
$35,000,
The county mill rate went up ,

Board should trust teachers
The Huron County Board of
Education was told Monday it
should trust the judgement of its
teachers when deciding if literary
pieces to be used in high school
classrooms are tit for educational
purposes.
Three delegations attending
Monday's board meeting
explained to trustees at
considerable length why three
English literature textbooks
should not be banned from
secondary school book lists. The
books - Catcher in the Rye by
J.D.Salinger, The Diviners by
Margaret Laurence and Of Mice
and Men by John Steinbeck -
were considered blasphemous
and obscene by a group of parents
from Kingsbridge who started a
Morris
Clerk
1
resigns
Jane Badley clerk of Morris
Township resigned at a meeting
of Morris Council on Monday
night, but concil refused to accept
her resignation.
Wages is one of the reasons she
resigned but she said there were,
"a whole bunch of reasons." The
resignation is to be discussed
June 19 at a meeting to be held in
Morris Township Hall at 7 p.m.
She submitted her resignation
as being effective September 1. It
had been said at an earlier council
meeting of Morris Township
Council that wages of Morris
Township Councillors, the reeve
and the clerk were the lowest of
any council in the county.
campaign to have them banned
from school booklists.
Dr. Tom Collins, chairman of
the English department at the
University of Western Ontario,
told the board that the three
books were not at all
blasphemous or obscene but
rather were of "superior quality"
He said the books all had
excellent educational value.
Dr. Collins said the purpose of
a literary piece was to educate the
imagination of readers by
•creating "construct" worlds that
the reader can become familiar
with without actually living in
them. He said the worlds created
are usually ones people wouldn't
normally live in but can become
aware of through the books. He
suggested the worlds could be
"better ones created in fairy tales
or terrible ones lived in by
Hamlet".
The professor said the books in
question may contain portions
that will be offensive to some
people but added that if only
material that could be offensive to
people was sought out The Bible
or the works of Shakespeare could
also fall into' that category.
He said the definition of
pornography is material used for
the purpose of prov oking sexual
amusement for its own sake. He
said the material in the three
books in question was not
pornographic in the context in
which 'it was used in
the books.
Dr, Collins sugge sted that
students have two major
environments in which they
function, school and the rest of
their time. He said the time they
spend away from school is
consistently filled with material
"I truly label pornographic", He
said he stopped in at a drug store
on his way to the meeting and
picked a magazine and a novel off
the store shelf. He said the two
were what he called pornographic
adding that he would "refrain
from being truly offensive and
will not read from the book or
show you pictures from the
magazine
Dr. Collins pointed out that the
material he had purchased was
available to all students any time
without any real attempt by
parents to control it, He said the
students constantly face objec•
tionable material in films.
television, magazines and trasl.
novels and parents seemed
unconcerned about the matter.
He said schools control the use
of such material through trained
professionals trained to use
judgement and expertise putting
such material into proper pers-
pective rather than sensa-

One of the greatest dangers we
try to protect ourselves against is

killers and consider this; people

the time to consider them. The
first arc fire extinguishers. lf it's
in a handy place and everyone in
the home is trained to operate it
then you might have a chance if a
fire breaks out near the stove or in
the yard.
But what if you are in bed

Now smoke detectors are being
touted as the best thing to warn

presence of fire.
But before running out and

Smoke detectors work on an

Hopefully you 118Ve been
keeping an eye on the tube as
there have been several shows on
CBC outlining the differences and
effectiveness of both types.
Ionization type smoke detectors
use a minute amount of radio-
active material to allow the air
inside the unit to conduce electri-

through the ionized air. When
smoke enters the chamber, it
impedes the now of current and,
at a predetermined level, sets off.

The photoelectric type smoke
detectors use a light-sensitive
photoelectric cell and a Iiglll
source, either a bulb or a

smoke enters the unit, it scatters

photoelectric cell and setting off
the alarm.
'They both have their good
points. The ionization detectors
can detect smoke before you can
see it, and the photoelectric units,
according to some tests, may
respond more quickly to
smouldering tires.

funds on a smoke detector first go

Tougher laws
With the coming of the legislative package on new
drinking laws and penalties, there are a few stiff
measures which many of us of all ages should keep in
mind.
The first and foremost in many young minds is the
increase to 19 as the legal age to consume alcohol.
The government hopes the proposed legislation
will substantially reduce the peer pressure on
younger students by making 97 percent of ,high
school students ineligible to drink legally.
The ministry of consumer and commercial
relations agrees that this is not the perfect solution
but believes that this measure will make it easier for
many students to say no to alcohol consumption.
But for the students who persist in drinking there
are some added precautions the ministry has
recommended.
They include the penalty for licencees who serve
minors. The minimum penalty will be $500 for each
and every offence, plus an automatic seven day
liquor licence suspension.
For hotels and bars who scoff and continue to
ignore the younger set who patronize their spots
there may be a few additional hazards to the
occupation. How many. places of business can
survive with the suspension of their licence for 7
days?
Maybe with this extra recommendation,
youngsters will find other, healthier outlets for their
time than developing drinking habits at an early age.
The important
things
The forest abounds with the whisperings of birds.
Have youbeen there? whistles one chickadee to
another. "There" is the Boyne School, located in the
wilds, north of Toronto.
There children from the city of Toronto, who have
never seen the forests or waded in a creek now have
the opportunity to do so and learn of the great
wilderness this country has to offer.
Over '300 acres are devoted to the teaching of
mountain climbing, archery, hiking, camping, study
of woodlots, maple syrup production on a small
scale, and even marine biology, among many other
topics.
The students learn respect for their country and
trust in each other from the land.
The school is owned and operated by the Toronto
school board for the students in the city.
There is a large conservation area surrounding the
acreage. Studentsllearn from firsthand experience
what is needed from the land, in order to survive and
what to leave in order for the land to survive for the
next harvest.
Although they only have one week at this school
many go home to the city classroom with a deeper
and greater respect for their country and homeland.
If the rest of Canada could Just take a week and
join the students out there, maybe there would be
less bickering and abuse of our fellow Canadians and
Country.
"And Is that not what its all about?" whispers the
chickadee.
AS THE SUN SHONE AND THE WIND SIGHED — The Memorial and Decoration
Day service was conducted Sunday afternoon'with one of the best turnouts for the
occasion. Over 75 people were on hand at the Blyth Cemetery while the legion
e
marched in and presented their flags and Rev. T. Hoogsteen gave a sermon on the
World Security.
On my better days i think the world really
has progressed in the last century.
i don't mean that we've progressed in terms
of material things such as our easy,
gadget -filled way of life of the 1970's but in
human, man-tu-man terms. Despite such
idiocies as hate letters against immigrants or
the booing of a partly -French version of our
national anthem at a ball game in Toronto
recently, I think we've really improved. Our
country may be Tess churchy than it was in
Victorian tines, but I think in general it's
more Christian in the terms of practicing the
principals of Christ such as brotherly love and
understanding. People aren't so sure they're
privy to the only truth today as our
narrow-minded ancestors .were and it makes
us more ready to understand the problems of
others. '
Progress, however, seems to be a case of
two steps forward and one back, even at the
best of times. We've gained over the pioneer
days in some ways, but we've also lost
something.
1 happened to be involved in a. project
recently that was truely a community -type,
work -sharing event. A century ago that kind of
thing wouldn't be very unique because it
happened all the time. Today it still happens
with some groups, but less and less often in •
our society as a whole.
This particular event was planned and
organized from the beginning by volunteers.
The leaders spent a good deal of their time
laying the groundwork. When the day of the
event arrived, however, it became a
community event with everybody pitching in.
The whole organization was involved with
people devoting hours of their time,
People worked like dogs. Some were so
tired at the end of the day they could hardly
limp home to go to bed, The event was a
success, though hardly a huge financial event,
If you totalled up the number of man hours
expended and multiplied by the usual rate of
pay the same people would have received at
their regular jobs, probably everyone would
have been better financially just to make a
donation.
Financially perhaps, but not really. Because
no matter how hard people worked, I never
heard a really serious complaint all day. There
was a lot of good-natured grumbling but when
it was all over everyone was ready to admit
they'd had a great time. It wasn't just the
money involve d, it was that they had done
something together and done it well. That
kind of feeling is worth more than money.
That kind of feeling is what built this
country and part of the problem today is that
we've lost it. People don't want to get
involved today. If something needs to be
We work
together
done, well pay for it out of taxes and tore
somebody to do the job. We've abandoned
everything to the professionals. Parents were
once involved heavily in the running of every
school and it was a true community school.
Today a handful of amateurs is supposed to
run the school system made up of hundreds of
professionals. What chance do they have of
really making it a community thing? We're
doing our best to isolate our hospitals from the
community. Our local government has become
more and more remote from people, Where
once people got together to havea dance or some
other event to help the poor in their
neighbourhood, today we have a huge
bureaucracy eating up vast amounts of tax
dollars to do the sane job.
Communities used to be close-knit places
where people really "lived" together. Today
the community is a place of convenience
where we take but don't give back. We take
the good things the community has for
granted but please don't expect us to
contribute something back except our taxes,
and not too many of those please. There is
little loyalty left in the community. People are
as apt to shop in London as they are on 'main
street. Businessmen are as apt to follow the
economic trade winds and relocate their
factories or shops in more prosperous towns
as they are to work toward really building u p
their communities,
Whose fault is it? Everyone's I suspect. 1
don't know how it got started, this modern
trend, but it was probably because some
people got tired of pitching in to help in barn
raisingsandcommunity bees of that kind and
started to give money instead. Then the
demand came to have the government provide
and today government has become anentity in
itself always grasping out for more and more
control.
Thankfully there are still some community
organizations left. Our churches are one of the
few aspects that haven't been taken over by
the bureaucracy yet. People tend to become
more personally involved in them when
something needs to be done than they do in
most other community institutions, The
women's institutes and the fair boards and
other such organizations still keep the
principal of community participation alive.
People often look at members of these
groups and watch then working their heads
off to raise a few dollars here or provide a
service there and wonder why they would ever
work so hard for so little? But those who
wonder are those who can•only see things in
monetary terns. There is something gained
bythese workers that is far more valuable: the
feeling of working with others to do something
really good for your community. Your tax
dollars can never buy that for your town.
THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 7, 1978 -- 5
Health Unit hires students
[by Rhea Hamilton]
A group of people work behind
the scenes to keep Huron's
population healthy, They are the
county's Public Health Inspectors
and to make sure that students
that are aiming for this career are
in perfect control of the situation,
The Canadian Public Health
Association requires that a six
month term of field work with a
Health Unit be tilled before
inspectors are certified.
Huron County has taken on
four students this summer.
Bernadette Etzler, Rosemary
Phalan and Paul Dawson are well
into their first month of direct
field training, and all are enjoying
the work.
Bernadette is from Benmiller,
here in IIuron County. She spent
her first year at school in lab
sciences but was dissatisfied with
the outlook on jobs.
While working in Menesetung
Park in the kitchen last summer
she met an inspector doing his
rounds at the camp and after
inquiring into the occupation
further decided that this was the
job for her and quickly changed
her courses into public health.
Bernadette has completed her
first year and agrees it has proved
interesting.
"1 like the diversity of the job"
said Bernadette, "You get to
meet different people and do
quite a large number of different
jobs,
Rosemary Phalan is from
Toronto and her interest in public
health has stemmed from a
brother-in-law who works with
the federal government under the
food and drug directorate,
After taking two years off
before furthering her education
Rosemary checked the course
outlines for the public health
inspectors and thought it looked
interesting.
"Not many people know about
the course" says Rosemary.
"Many don't know what the job
means and often assume that
you're a nurse not an inspector."
Paul Dawson is from Stratford
and was interested in being an
inspector by his brother who is in
public health.
Students observe for three
months and take notes, all
without pay. All counties are
notified of this fact before
students file applications with the
Health agencies ail over Canada.
"Huron County has been
generous in taking on three
students now and another on
later on in the summer" said
Paul. "Many of the other counties
have not taken on even one
students as an observer,"
Both Rosemary and Paul have
finished their formal classroom
education and only need to have
the six month practical training
before taking their oral exams
this. October, and becoming
certified if they pass.
Rosemary is observing for
three months and then will work
for pay the next three months.
Paul is working three months and
observing the last three on the
same financial set up as
Rosemary.
Bernadette is working for three
months this summer and
finishing her field work next
summer, after she completes her
final year of formal education.
The life of an inspector is not
always a bed of roses.
"I've already been yelled at"
said Bernadette. "But it was my
fault so what can you do. 1 still
like the job. The travelling and
the people are great."
"1 like being out of the city",
commented Rosemary. "1 love
the rural setting and lam going to
look for a job in the sante type of
area as here. There is not as much
variety in the city and personal
relationships are far better here."
"1 would give Huron County
Health Unit a Triple A rating for
hiring students", said
•
YOU'LL SEE THEM IN HURON - These three young people have been employed
by The Huron County Health Unit forthe summer. Here Bernadette Etzler,
Benmiller, Paul Mason, Stratford and Rosemary' Phalan, Toronto, will work six
months before taking their oral exams. The students will be required to observe and
work with the local Public Health inspect ors. Their duties cover all areas where
the public's health is involved. (Staff Photo)

Bernadette,
"Out of 32 letters I sent out
most of them stated that funding
was the reason for not hiring",
Rosemary said,
"There are not many counties
hiring", pointed out Paul, "I
can't understand why because the
students will work for nothing just
to get their field training in,"
The students are looking
forward to challenges this
summer and are eager to make
Huron a safer and cleaner place to
live.
The duties of a Health
Inspector take in many areas of
concern where the public is
involved.
They investigate communicable
disease outbreaks and (under the
direction of the Medical Officer of
Health) will enforce quarantines,
supervise disinfections and
disposals of infected wastes.
The health unit is responsible
for the inspection of food
handling establishments from
restaurants to abatoirs and bake
shops. They inspect water
supplies, sewage disposal, do
rodent and insect control,
cockroaches and check housing,
summer camps, and even beauty
parlors and barber shops.
Schools, funeral parlours,
hospitals, and nursing homes are
inspected regularly.
The list is endless. Wherever
you find people you find a
concerned public health
inspector.
Remembrance
held at Blyth United
For their Annual Church
Parade and Service of Remem-
brance of D -Day, members of the
Legion Auxiliary and the Legions
from Blyth, Brussels, Gorrie and
1 -Lowick and Brussels Pipe Band,
paraded to Blyth United Church
and attended the regular
Sunday Morning Service.
Mrs. Don McNall and Mr. Bill
Young were the elders who
welcomed everyone to the
service. Mr. and Mrs, Ralph
Caldwell and Mr. Leslie Caldwell
ushered. The text for Rev.
Witt ich's sermon was from
Colossians 1: 18h, "The
Preeminence of Christ".
A very successful canvass of
the United Church congregation
has been completed to raise funds
to put a new roof on the church,
with the roof to be insulated as
well, and fans installed to distri-
bute the heat more evenly.
Thanks to all members and
former members of the official
board for giving their time last
week to complete this necessary
and worthwhile task. Contri-
butions are still welcome from
anyone missed by the canvass.
The Evening Unit of the.
U.C.W, had as their guest at their
Wednesday evening meeting,
Miss Cheryl Dale of Strathroy
who is in charge of handicrafts
and recreation therapy for the
Senior Citizens at Strathmere
Lodge. Her talk was interesting
and informative, and useful in the
projects undertaken at Brook-
haven and Ramaloo Nursing
Homes,
A detailed financial report on
the recent garage sale was given
by the treasurer, Mrs, Doug.
McDougal, and net receipts for
our Unit are over $1300.00. The
choir, Afternoon U.C.W. Units
and C.G,I.T, netted over $300,00
as well, from their baking, candy
and plant sales.
Mrs. David Webster was in
charge of devotions and Mrs.
Donald Glousher and Mrs,
Carman McDonald arranged the
program for this well attended
meeting,
The next General U.C.W
meeting on June 12 will be at 8

Wants chain
store inquiry
By Rhea Hamilton
A royal Commission into the
practises of large food chains is to
be encouraged . by the Huron
Federation of Agriculture.
Former OFA president Gordon
Hill presented a resolution to the
Federation meeting Thursday
night in Seaforth requesting that
the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture press for a Royal Commis-
sion to investigate the buying
ethics and discount practises of
food chains.
• "The legislative committee in-
vestigating the situation now,
doesn't have the authority to
demand witnesses to answer to
the. charges and give in-
formation'," said Mr. Hill, A royal
commission would have the
authoruity to subpoena records
and witnesses.
The larger supermarket chains
have a practise of discounting a
percer. Cage from the supplier's
cheques before payment. Costs
have been alloted to the
advertising portion for the pro-
duct or for shelf space devoted to
that product, Mr. Hill said. In
some cases as much as 20% has
been deducted.
Mr, Hill cited the case of Sun
Parlour Co-op in Leamington,
which has' conformed to A & P
demands and received critisms
for it.
"In Toronto there have been
two murders of producers, said
Mr. Hill 'and there have been
rumours of involvment of the
Mafla in this".
No charges are to be laid over
the discounting practises,
according to the province, which
have been going on since 1972.
The Huron Federation sup-
ported the resolution after a
general discussion when mem-
bers agreed that such practises
were not fair to producers all
over.

Sugar and Spice
by Bill Smiley
Some of the most refreshing thoughts about
education I've read in many a day are
contained in a recent article in the Toronto
Star by W.E. Franke, principal of a new
private senior high school in Hogtown.
As he points out, our educational system
today consists of people blaming other people
'for the slipping standards of education, The
universities point the dirty finger at the high
school's, the high schools at the elementary
schools, the elementary schools at the
parents. Only the poor bewildered parents
don't have anyone to point at. All they know is
that their educational tax bill goes up every
year and their kids don't seem to be learnin'
nuthin. •
Mr, Franke would launth a holy war against
the present sludgy system, "away that must
be fought for our intellectual, spiritual, and
economic survival."
He would make French, English, and
mathematics compulsory subjects. Grammar
would be an integral part of any language
course. The compulsory French would not be
for the political reasons now attributed to its
study but because we cannot be called
"educated" without the knowledge of a
foreign language.
How right he is. 1 can well remember the
days when high schools offered Latin, French,
German, Spanish. Today, Latin has almost
disappeared, French and German arc hanging
on by their toenails, and it is a very rare school
that offers Spanish.
And what does that say about our teachers?
I'd be greatly surprised if more than 10 per
cent of the teachers in Canada know more
than one language.
The man wants a powerful stimulation in
the arts from the federal government. He
says: "The soul is under nourished in our
schools, and the emotions are not addressed."
He's not far off.
For too many years there has been the
attitude that only a talented few have an
ability for the arts.Any good teacher of drama,
music, dance, and tine arts knows this is a lot
of hogwash. There can be a spark of artistic
fire in the most unlikely lump of a kid.
He'd push this further and have every
province establish schools for the artistic elite,
as they do now for slow learners. the system
has swung to the extent that it is now the
btightest and best who are neglected, who
whither on the vine in frustration and
boredom.
Mr. Franke would like to sec a return from
mediocrity, which is now the standard, back to
the excellence which it once was.
But his article is not all just pie in the sky,
an airy -fairy repetition!' what most progres-
sive educators have been saying. He has some
practical suggestions.
One of them is to cut the provincial
Drill for
oil in
McKillop
Teledyne Explorations Ltd., the
company which explored for oil
and gas deposits in the area last
year, has started testing farms in
McKillop Township.
Bob McDowell, party chief for
the company, which has an office
in Vanastra, said the company
was carrying out explorations
across farms north of Winthrop
beginning last week.
Mrs. Lorne Glanville, R. R. 114,
Walton, said the Teledyne crew
had drilled a number of test holes
in their , farm and on the
neighbouring Ryan farm,
She said the crew were very
good and didn't drive all over the
fields. She said they made one
path, and "they do respect the
crops,"
She said farmers were compen-
sated for any possible crop
damage and that the oil drilling
was "no bother."
Mrs. Glanville said last year
the crew dug a number of test
holes along roads in the area and
that one of the crew told her
husband the decision to test for
oil on the farms "was a pretty
good sign that there is oil
someplace,"
governing apparatus in hall'. As he points out,
a move of the government, in Ontario at least,
"merely shifted its top civil servants into the
newly created positions of directors and
superintendents. Their enormous salaries
n ow come out of the pocket of the local
home -owners." That argument has a hole in
it, but he's on the right track.
He claims that "a 75 per cent reduction in
administrative jobs would not make the
slightest dent in the 'quality' of education."
And he adds that the wall-to-wall, air-con-
ditioned palaces of these administrators
should be rented out to somebody who can,
afford them. Right on, Franck baby. r
He suggests that boards of education are
little more than a nuisance, that they have
grown into small • empires, that "schools
should be run by schools, not by a bom-bastic
outside apparatus." I'll buy that, There's so
much paperwork involved that teachers will
often give up on a good and valid project
rather than wade through it.
He thinks teachers and principals should be
carefully examined before they arc hired, and
should be ruthlessly fired when they don't do
an excellent job. Fair enough, Industry does
it. Most teachers and principals give it their
best shot, but they might give a little more if
they were less secure.
Mr Franke would eliminate faculties of
education. He says the universit ies should be
the judges of those who have mastered their
subject. I don't agree there. Universities are
far too impersonal to know a brilliant
academic who would stake a lousy teacher,
from a less -brilliant type who would make a
[Inc one.
But he has a good idea for training teachers.
After doing away with teachers' colleges, he
would select young teachers from among the
best university graduates, put them in a
school on nominal pay for a year, with half a
teaching load. This would be an excellent
training for the aspiring teacher, wouldn't
cost a fortune, and would provide jobs.
He feels the same about training students
for specific industrial jobs. He thinks industry
should train its own people as they do in
Europe. Again„ I must agree. A first-rate
apprenticeship system would give Canada the
large pool of skilled workers we don't have
now, one of the factors Mar keeps us in the
role of hewers of wood and drawers of water.
He'd like to make it a privilege to go to
school, not a duty. He doesn't say what he'd
do with all the thousands who don't want to
go.
The man isn't the only one crying in the
wilderness for an improvement in our sludgy,
apathetic, bureaucratic educational system.
But he says it trenchatitly, and 1 hope he ,goes
on yelling.

one was given a one layer cake
when leaving. The afternoon was
spent at a shopping centre
followed by a visit to a nursery on

Trust teachers, board is told
(Continued 'from Page 1)
tionalizing it as the letter from the
parents had done. He said the
board must trust its teachers,.
"Banning the books is the
surest way I know of getting the
students to seek out the books,
read them, and have them
adversley affect them by not
having the contents put into
proper perspective," he said.
Dr, Collins said the alleged
blasphemous material was not
blasphemous but was language
commonly used in everyday life,
He said blasphemy is taking the
'Lord's name in vain or making a
deliberate attempt to dishonor
God.He said just about everyone
in society makes comments
during a day that could be
considered blasphemous.He said
"most of as try to avoid using
them in our speech but habit or
reflex prevents that". He said the
use of the words is "habity" not a
"deliberate attempt to dishonor
God"
He pointed out that the
children in the schools know those
words exist adding that it is far
better for the children to learn
'about "life language and sex" in
a controlled environment rather
than in a drug store or out on the
street,
Trust your teachers
"You trust your doctors and
your ministers you'd better trust
your teachers," he warned,
Peggy Rivers told the board she
represented a group of people in
the Goderich area "concerned
with the quality of education
offered" and who feel it is
worthwhile to "spend time
showing support for our
educational systems, for the board
that administers it and for the
teachers involved in it".
Mrs. Rivers said the Goderich
group did not favor banning the
books and was also unhappy with
the methods tised by the group
proposing their banning. She said
decisions made by councils in the
county supporting the ban were
based on quotations "arbitrarily
selected from the books by a
person or persons". She added
that the notions by the councils
were sent to county secondary
schools without prior consultation
with the board of education, " an
act we consider a gross
infringement on the rights and
responsibilities of the board".
Mrs. Rivers said the methods
used in selecting objectionable
material from the books made it
obvious that no "intelligent and
logical evaluation of the literaray
merit and worth of the books can
be made without a complete
evaluation of them". She said the
three books were sidely acclaimed
by scholars to be of superior ..
literary merit and to deprive
students of Huron the right to
study them would be to "isolate
them in a vacuum devoid of any
realistic connection with
contemporary society".
Absurd
She said the claim that the
books and the teachers using
them were attempting to turn our
youth into "vulgar, filthy,
ungodly individuals is absurd",
Mrs. Rivers said the books
have been used in the county
system for more than ten years
and only in senior grades by
students old enough to vote, sit
on juries and sign contracts. She
said their use had no adverse
affect to date adding that surely a
person old enough to decide if
someone is' guilty of a criminal
offence is old enough to read any
book they choose,
Mrs. Rivers said that a person
reading a book is not necessarily
influenced by the idealogy of it.
She said someone reading Mein
Kampf does not automatically
become a Nazi and someone
reading the biography of John
Diefenbaker does not necessarily
become a Progressive Conserva-
tive.,
Notoriety
Mrs, Rivers told the board that
the "notoriety Huron County has
received by even raising the issue
is not something we should be
proud of", She said the image the
county is receiving on a national
lev lel as a result of the issue is
leaving "false impressions from
which we will be years
recovering."
She said the groups presenting
their support of the materials
were not advocating their
mandatory use but was protecting
the right of ' selection by
secondary school teachers. She
said the move to ban the books
indicated the people of Huron felt
better qualified to judge course
content than the professional
teaches they employ.
Paul Ross told the board he
represented a group of people
from the Clinton area that
opposed the proposed banning of
the books, Mr Ross told the
board that he didn't feel the
material in the books was obscene
but that the method used to make
them appear obscene was "to my
mind obscene",
"They used a simple children's
arithmetic method that says the
whole is equal to the sum of the
parts," he said, "They've taken
parts of the novels and said that
these equal the total and that is
LOOK AT THOSE FEET GO — The look on Jennie
Stacey's face seems to be one of disbelief as she
watched some stepdancers go through their routine
before going on stage. The dancers and fiddlers were
in Blyth to attend the Huron Olde Tyme Festival this
weekend. The Memorial Hall was packed both nights
with both contestants from all over, as well as people
who love the sound of stepdancers and fiddlers.

order of women in 1978 from 1918
when women won the right to
vote. She said women's greatest
problem is other women and that
they depend too much on other
women. She stressed that for the
first three years of a child's life
the mother should care for that
child to guide it in moral and
spiritual life even if she has to go
on relief. She urged women to
speak up and write to the
members of parliament if you

Air conditioning
(Continued from Page 1)
said Mr. Christianson. "In the
winter the heat pumps are
reversed and act as air con-
ditioning and in winter they take
heat from outside for the
building,"
50% of the heating costs would
be saved over the cost of the oil
furnace used now.
The proposal could be done in
two stages. The heat pumps could
be installed now without the heat
coil and the oil furnace used as
the heating supply. At a later date
the heat coil could be installed at
and the sole heat source, keeping
the furnace as an auxiliary.
The duct work for the heat
pumps and the heat pumps
themselves would be located on a
20'x6' strip along the back wall
outside the building south of
where the library and the hall
join.
There was a need for some
redeisigning to be done to allow
for snow removal. The elevation
of the pumps has been changed
from 3-4' to 6--8'.
The whole system will cost
between $30,000 to $35,000
according to Mr. Roy.
This years renovation plans at
the hall include emergency
lighting for the fire escapes and
over doorways, and a zone fire
alarm in the buildings, he told
council.
Council gave approval for the
work to start immediately. Funds
are to be supplied by a capital
works grant which has been
cleared but not received by the
Centre for the Arts,
Any problems are to be brought
to the attention of George Hub-
bard, member of the Hall Com-
mittee.

THUELL: In loving memory of a
dear grandpa and grandma who
passed away two years ago and
one year ago in the month of
June.
This month comes with deep
regret,
For it brings two days we can
never forget,
There are other grandparents in
the world we know,
But you were ours and we loved
you so,
—Always remembered by J. C.,
Vicki, Joey, Jeff and Chris, Bev
and Dave, Jim and Elaine.

Taxpayers
(Continued from Page 1)
as did the school rates which
means the over-all mill rate for
village taxpayers drops by only
5.92 mills.
There are some expenditures
which council won't face this
year. They include $6,769 for
centennial operations, $500 for
heritage studies and $1000 for
painting Memorial hall. These
casts were one time costs and
leave a saving for this year. These
lower the recreational and
cultural expenditures from
$19,429 to $17,593.
Clerk Larry Walsh pointed out
to the council that the deficit
remaining on the new arena must
be cleaned up before a new slate
of councillors take office this
November.
The drop in the mill rate this
year means next year there will
be a decrease, in grant monies,
based on the mill rate.
The total expenditures for
Blyth for 1978 are $220,512 as
compared to last year's $198,536.
The elementary and
secondary school expenditure is
up $3,912 over last year.
The village contributes $32,877
to the county this year which is
only a slight increase of $81.00.
Commercial assessment is up
to $143,710 from $142,945 and
business is up $75 to $51,805 for
1978,
First instalment of taxes is due
June 30, 1978.

see no objection to the change.
'The other pasties involved are
The Kitchen Cupboard, The
Village Restaurant and Gowings
on the south of the drive.
The change of road would move
easterly and take a 12 foot strip of
land lawn from Gowing's
property.
A letter of permission from the
owners involved is required for
the move.
Clerk Larry Walshand council-
lor Helen Gowing attended
county Council week where they
learned that all the building
permits they have been issuing
have been illegal and that council
may be liable for any faulty
construction work done,
It was recommended at the
meeting that municipalities adopt
the model bylaw presented. The
Ontario Building code insists
inspectors follow up building
permits issued,
The permit fee would have to be
raised to cover the expenses of the
,proposed inspector. Permits are
now $5 each, The new fee
schedule suggested by the county
would charge $4 per $1,000 and
$25 per visit.
Council decided to invite some
local building inspectors covering
other areas now and seek their
advice on the model building code
and look into the possibilities of
hiring an inspector for Blyth,
Council tiled a resolution from
the municipality of Geraldton,
calling for the municipalites to
have control over school board
borrowing or have the Ontario
Municipal Board not take the
school borrowing into con-
sideration when municipalities
are filing for loans.
A request for signs to caution
motorists at the playground,
lawnbowling green and at the
senior citizens housing is to be
made to MTC. The signs are free
from the department for those'
who request them.
Council approved a request for
the light arcs to be on during the
summer on Main St. and decided
to leave the lights on as an added
attraction to the village at nights.
'[mere was anotherrequest for a
light to be moved or a new one
put in on the corner of Gypsy
Lane and County road 25. The
light there now is farther up
