Lori Hesselwood of Blyth; Betty Konarski of R. R. {tl , Blyth, and Angelina Arts of .Vanastra are offering a sports activities program this summer in Blyth for children from kindergarten age to Grade 8. When the girls originally applied for the Young Canada Works grant it said - on the application that they were supposed -to apply for how long they wanted it to run and they said nine weeks but when they had a Meeting with a represen- tative of Young Canada Works from the London Branch, she told then- they had been cut back to six weeks. The, program is scheduled to run from July 3 to August 11. It was to have run from July 3 to August 25 but the girls were told that because there were so many Huron County applicatons for Young Canada Works, the government had to cut back and spread them out. The girls got the application forms for the program through the guidance office at high school and then got the Blyth recreation committee to sponsor them. They don't know how much of a grant they're going to get yet. The program is just something the girls thought up themselves. There will be a $2 registration fee because the registration money is .__supposed to go for materials. Afterwards the materials are supposed to be donated to the recreation committee or the school because the girls have the use of the school -supplies. The programs are to run all day but five and six year olds will just be coming on Mondays and 'Thursdays. Wednesdays are going to be special days on which events like carnival days and talent shows will be held and everyone can come on those days. The girls will be getting $2.65 per hour up until August when the wages go up and then they're not sure how much they'll be getting. As for the girls qualifications for running the program, Lori is interested in sports, has been 011 all the sports teams in high school and is interested in getting into the arca of recreation. She said that the other two girls were interested in sports too and that Angelina had worked in a play- gmund and Betty had worked at a camp. Both of them have been in sports at school as well. A representative from the London office might conic down once or twice to check on their books. Otherwise, George Hubbard, chairman of the recreation committee is supposed to supervise them. Registration for the program is being held .tune 26, 27 and 28 at the arena from 1-4 p.111. Manchester no more (By Eleanor Bradnockl Auburn has lost it's first official naive - Manch'c"sten when the Village Trustees voted to accept the name -- AUBURN as it's only name as requested by the Ontario Geographic Names Board at it's June. meeting held last Sat. evening in the Town Hall. Gillman Warner Andrews was in charge of the meeting and the Village Clerk, Frank Raithby read the minutes, Budget estimates were discussed and also improvements to Auburn's big hill which has been widened to help with the traffic winter and summer. Chairman Warner Andrews received the letter from the Ontario Geographic Names Board requesting a change to Auburn from Manchester. This Board has the statutory authority. over names of geographic features and unincorporated places in the Province, The Nomenclature Section, Ministry of Natural Resources undertakes research, prepares name submissions for the Board consideration and maintains the OGNB record of official geographic names; these are provided for use on jgovernfnent maps, charts, in gazetteers, etc. thus ensuring usage of a uniform name per feature throughout the government. The OGNB recently became aware of the discrepancy in the name of the village as listed in various publications and shown on maps. The OGNB stated that seeing that the police village is unincorporated this Board can authorize a change in name to reconcile the discrepancy, if a request is received from local authorities and such a change has support from the local population. Since Auburn is the common name used there should not be ray obstacle to changing the r1: me. March of Dimes successful Campaign Chairman Joann Macdonald and Co -Chairman Joan Chalmers, Blyth reports that the Ontario . March of Dimes 1978 Campaign in the Blyth area has reached $599.00. They extend congratulations and thanks to all those who worked so diligently during this campaign and to the members of the media and the community who supported them.

That'the theme for senior citizens week starting June 18. When I was a child my grandmother name to visit us for the summer and how well I remember her porridge and her jam making through the summer. Gommie, as she was dearly known, would knit us mitts and warm socks for winter and often help my motherorganize the massive sewing projects for the following Christmas, of nightgowns and dresses, I never realized until she died how much I owed her and how many times I wished 1 had said more to her and been more of a help when she got older, There have been other older people in my life and until they were gone from this world I never realized them for all their worth. Now that the list is getting down to grandparents and (forgive me) parents, I can't help but wonder what will become, of me when I can't walk with assurance dyer rocky ground and know I won't trip over some insignificant thing. I often wonder too who will come and visit me when I am residing with other people who feel just as helpless. More and more we all should be appreciating the dder citizens of this country. Senior citizens week is maybe just the thing we need to jog our minds to the older people around us. Ontario's Minister of Community and Social services, the Hon. Keith Norton, who is responsible for many. provincial services to the elderly, sees this special week as a time for the young and the elderly to reach out to each other; a time to promote community involvement; and a time for reaching out to those who need help and encouragement. There are some facts that many of us should be aware of. The segment of Canada's population that involves the over -60's is increasing every day. In 19176 ,the 65 plus group made up 8.67% of the nation's total population. By the year 2001 those over 65 will make up 11.75% of the population, which means a 35.5% increase in the number of Canadians over 65 during that period. With this in mind an increasing number of organizations, both public and private, are formally recognizing the particular needs and importance of our older people. Most banks and trust companies offer special privileges to senior citizens such as free diequing. Drug companies, travel agents, and theatres arc making their products and services available to the elderly at reduced rates. For most approaching retirement the prospect of becoming a senior citizen is faced with mixed feelings. While many look forward to freedom from the pressures and routine of the working world, they also worry about loss of identity, losing touch with friends and, most of all, about those many hours of free time that will soon be available to them. Reach out is just the start, I hope, of niy becoming more aware of older people and trying to help and get involved more with the elderly I know. Last Christmas we went to see an elderly lady who had no family and we took some gifts and tried to cheer her up. Last week we took that same woman out for lunch and learned just how busy she once had been and what awealth of knowledge she had, The gentle lady sitting in front of us once cultivated honey and owned over 200 hives for the harvesting. When we took her home I felt suddenly sorry we had come into her life: We never seen to have the time to do all the things we want to do for ourselves and now we had committed ourselves to take the time to spend time with someone, w ho for all we knew might need us increasingly. And then my selfishness disappeared when I remembered how many times I had wished that some of those dear to me, now dead, werestill around so I could show them some of the wonders of life I was now experiencing. Our adopted friend will see more of us in the near future as we will ma:e time in order to share and enjoy life together. I only hope many more people would look around them and maybe help an elderly person enjoy life again who might be in the dumps about their age. We all need help and encouragement, and if we help each other we will be richer for it. Books at the Library Options By Warren Adler The theme of this mystery novel is the facade of perfection, and innocence often assumed by' those who seek power. The setting is a clandestine weekend tryst between a United States senator and his black girlfriend. She is accidentally drowned. Fearing that the accident will harm his bid for his party's nomination for presidency, the senator seizes upon a course full of risks and deception. Making Garden Equipment By G.F. Kay The construction of 40 projects to suit every size of property are described in this book. It suggests the tools needed for each job, the advantages and disadvantages of materials to use, and there is one section on concrete and it's uses. Smoky the Cowhorse By Will James Smoky is just a horse that worked on the Rocking R ranch in Montana,' but what a horsekClint was the cowboy who broke and trained Smoky. Of course Smoky met other humans of all kinds besides Clint, and that's the theme for the story. Next Junior Storyhour will be on June 27, at 1:40 p.ni. THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 14, 1978 - 3 Commission seeks help A cross Canada Inquiry into the Rod System is coming to your community) Do you have questions such as these: Are Provincial Governments serious about protecting farm land? Why do farm machinery and other imports cost so much? How do food imports affect Canadian food producers .and food workers? What are working conditions .in the food industry? Do we need so many chemicals in our food? These questions and many more are frequently voiced in food stores, homes, on farms, and at church meetings. They are voiced by consumers, farmers, labourers in many parts of 'Canada. The questions are all related to a single complex food system. An independent commission called the People's Food Commission will investigate these questions and many more, Ten commissioners will conduct hearings in centres across the country from November, 1978 March 1979. A Food Policy [Sub] Following the hearings a report will be written and returned to all participants, supporters and interested community groups, as well as to relevant government departments. The report will be a working document around which community groups can review their experiences; identify common interests'and arrive at a clearer understanding of the relationships that exist between primary producer; and explore together ways and means to implement the Commission's ' recommendatons for a People's Food Policy. What can you do? Get involved! Become educated about the Canadian Food System. If you wish to learn more you can contact "People's Food Commission, London Working Group, c/o 247 Epworth Avenue, Landon, N6A 2M2 or telephone 679-6282.

Registration Number 1319 Vandalism? 1 There have been some reported cases of vandalism the village of Blyth over the past few months and ii jwould appear that some young people are to blame for the nuisance created for many. The problems range in degree from minor instances Tike garbage spilled to broken windows and desecration of churches. Upon checking with the Wingham Detachment of the O.P.P. who patrol the village they indicate that many people are not prepared to report instances .of vandalism to the police but prefer rather to keep the incident to themselves or just deal with the matter privately. Although many are quick to point the finger of guilt on the younger people of the 12 or 15 age group maybe a closer look at the situation is warranted. Speaking with some younger people in the community about those same cases of vandalism they know that there are a few bad ones who are followed on the nights when there is nothing to do in the village but watch others get into mischief. An OPP spokesman stated a lot of the trouble that arises amounts to damage done by older youths in the late teens and early twenties who leave the hotel in poor shape and throw bottles in directions that are sure to do damage. The problem is not as big as many would have others believe. The time of year is ripe to stop vandalism in the bud. Soon the kids will be out of school and the summer days loom ahead full of fun but boredom will set in soon enough. Once youngsters get bored, look out. There should be some sort of place for them to work off energy. Some sort of community project to get many involved in some good activities.. With the theatre in town maybe someone could find some time consuming, interesting jobs. Something that many could learn from and which the adults in this community could be proud of and point at and say "Our young people did that". The kids today are interesting and eager to do something. Please take advantage of this situation and help those kids enjoy their summer and keep everyone out of trouble. It will make the village an even better place to live than it already is, by the involvement of everyone to keep the town from sliding into problems that so many Targe urban areas are suffering from now.

Perky pansies Behind the scenes By Keith Roulston At home disasters Compared to the disasters at home, the great problems of our time seem insignificant. I mean who cares if there's trouble in Rhodesia when the oil furnace has just exploded and filled the house, including your new expensive living room rug, with black guck. Luckily,•the latter hasn't happened around our place out here at Muddy Lane Manor but that's about all that hasn't happened recently. The water pump is wheezing and gurgling and ',sounding like it has a severe case of pneumonia while coughing up only a few dribbles of water now and then, just enough to keep us feeling like we're in the middle of the Sahara. It needs to be takenout and taken to the repair shop but I'm almost afraid to after just finally getting the car back from the repair shop where it went in apparently for something minor, and didn't return for two weeks. Meanwhile the dog has a turtle fixation. She keeps finding turtles all over the place, even though it's a half mile to the nearest river. Twice it's been those little painted turtles she's found crossing the lane and they've been about her speed. They just haul in feet and legs with the first yap she gives and pretent to be a rock. It doesn't fool her but both are relatively safe. The other day, though, she was sporting around in a hay field and cane upon a little bigger game, a snapping turtle. It just didn't play the game the way she expected. She barked and instead of taking cover, it turned to fight. Luckily, the dog was slightly faster than the turtle and managed to escape those vice -like jaws but the dog kept circling and barking for hours, now and then running up to ,the house to get a drink of water then returning for more, I don't know if the dog finally wore out its throat, or the turtle expired from noise pollution. The biggest fun has been with the youngest - of our brood. He's just turned three and already he's been wearing glasses for over a year. He's gotten along remarkably well until this spring. Now for some reason, whether • becasue they're hot and make him sweat or becausle bugs like to climb in behind the lenses, he's begun taking them off and setting them down when he's outside. And, of course, forgetting where he took them off and set them down. Several times we've undertaken hurried, worried searches around the yard for them but when you live on a farm, there's a heck of a lot of property to cover. We've eventually found the glasses each time but .sometimes not the way we expected. After one search that lasted more than an hour, we finally 'gave up. Later in the day the missus was cutting the grass when she came into the house to report she'd found the glasses. Unfortunately it wasn't until she'd already run over therm with the lawn mower and retrieved a couple of hundred pieces. For me personally, the biggest problem was learning to get along without a car for two weeks, Originally it was thought the car would be ready in a day, thenfour days and finally, the garage couldn't even promise when it muld be ready becasue they were having a hard time finding the parts. As usual, when 1 mess something up, I do it well. The parts I break are always the hardest to come by, the one's your just not supposed to break so people don't keep then around. The break down cane, of course, at the busiest time of the sprung when I needed a car most, Luckily one never knows how good friends are until one needs help. Offers for help were quick in coming from many friends with cars and trucks and we got through the worst emergencies, like carrying 3,500 copies of a magazine back from the printers and taking the wife to London for a doctor's appointment. Still, you never know how much you depend on a car until you're without one. Simple things like a grocery shopping trip suddenly require all the planning of the D -Day landing. When you're without a car and three miles frotn town, you make sure you don't forget anything. There's also a certain peacefulness about not having a car though. It's sort of like being stuck at home during a big winter storm: you can't do anything about it, so you might as well relax and enjoy it. Being trapped at home meant I got more writing done in the latter part of the sojurn. It took away the temptation to slip into town for this or that and end up waiting a couple of hours. Still, peaceful as it was, there was a gigantic shout of joy when the garage called to say the car was finally ready. I'm not ready to return to pioneer days completely, THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 14, 1978 England revisited by native [by Earl K. St. Jean, Auburn] When one goes back to a country after a long absence one cannot just soak up beautiful scenery, sunny weather, care free touring and tantalizing entertain- ment without some impact. One acquires a new perspective on events, new insights into the course of events and a new slant on life. These give one . the restored energy and zip we seek from vacation trips. England in 1956.57 underwent the Suez crisis, rationing and radical political re -alignment. In education the first wave of re -action to the 1944 Education Act. had set in, The war -time urgency and the impetus had changed to the leisurely pace possible for life, The 11 -plus exams which streamed pupils in secondary education were seen as tyrannical in a new sense, Education was being made to fit into more democratic opportun- ities. The welfare state, as observed it over the year, had reached its goals largely if not entirely.

Society always has certain blemishes but I never detected open sores, England now is 21 years older as a welfare state. As such it still is an example to reckon with. The difference is that the pay-packet is the criteria of everyman's goals. Cars have doubled or trebled even though gas costs about $1.50 a gallon. Heating is electric and often central heating is installed. The change in climate has nothing to do with sunshine but with objectives, goals, ideals and cause. Britain is no longer a champion of anything. Empire, commonwealth and colonies no longer appear as heirs of great- ness. Britain belongs to a new community of nations --the European Common Market Community.

A basic guide to the Who, What, Where, When and Why of Shopping Canadian. Why should you Shop Canadian? Every time you buy something made in Canada, you help keep a Canadian working. You help keep Canadian money inside Canada. You help to expand and strengthen Canada's economy. When you think about it, you help yourself. When should you Shop Canadian? Whenever you're satisfied that the product or service you need is (A) made or grown in Canada and (B) of equal or better value and quality. That's not just good advice... it's good sense. What is made in Canada? Just about everything you need to help you live the life you want. As the saying goes, we have no bana- nas, but we do have Apples, Bandages, Cranes, Drills, Elevators, Furniture, Glassware, Holiday resorts, Insulation, Jewellery, Kitchen appliances, Lumber, Machinery, Newspapers, Office equip- ment, Potatoes, Quilts, Rope, Steel, Tires, Umbrellas, Vaccines, Wines, X -Ray equipment, Yarns, and Zippers.

Minister ministre Who should Shop Canadian? Every day, most of us have the choice. Whether we're buying groceries for the home or supplies for business, farm or industry. If each of us added only $10 a week to Canadian made purchases, Canada would be over 10 billion dollars better off in just one year. Who should Shop Canadian? You should. Where does it say Made in Canada? Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes a sign says "Produce of REJ." Or "B.C. Apples" or "Fabriqud au Quebec" or "Made in Manitoba" or "New Brunswick Sardines" or "Grown by Saskatchewan Farmers or "A product of Alberta" or "Fresh from Newfoundland" or "Manufactured in Ontario" or "Nova Scotia Lobster." • The point is, if you take the trouble to find out, you can usually tell. And, if it's made anywhere in the ten Provinces or the Territories, it is made in Canada, This ad was made in Canada.

And, as a result, a lot of ' ,<< Ain people suffer from believing them. The fact is, the most reliable information comes from us. In other countries, we're in Canadian Government visa offices. Ilere at home, it's your Canada Immigration Centre. If you know someone who'll have to pass through Canadian Immigration in the near future, you'd be doing thein favour by pointing thein in our direc- tion. Especially now that there's a new iniirigT'ation law. Now, the new law doesn't mean a lot of changes for the average immigrant of visitor. Here, nevertheless, are a few things that might affect you or someone ,you know. From now On, n11niigTants and those visitors who come here to work or study must make all immigration arrangements before arriving in Canada. No one may change his or her status while inside Canada. Remember that, money can't buy your way into Canada. All the help you need is free at any Canadian Government visa office or Canada Immigration CentTe. Canadian immigration Officers do not discriminate on the grounds of colow; race of religion. Ever: A new adjudication system gives Neater protection to the civil rights of people involved in immigration proceedings. And deportation will no longer be the only possible penalty. There are now less drastic alternatives for minor infractions of immigration law. The new law does not make immigration easiel; but it does make it more pre- dictable. If you need to know more, ask at a Canada Immigration Centre. If you know someone abroad who needs information, tell them to contact their Canadian. Government visa office before they make a move.That way, they'll know exactly where they stand when they step off the plane.

What is exactly like a Quebec politician: always wanting a bit more than there is in the kitty; quick to assumed anger; deliberately misunderstanding feelers of amiability; vaguely. threatening separation; charming one minute, abrasive the next? Give up? I thought everyone would get 100 per cent on that. Answer: A wife. Sometimes, although not often, I wish I had been married three or lour times.

Back in the good old days before women's Iib, men just heaved a universal, brotherly sigh, and groaned: "Women..." Everybody who counted (.all adult males and small boys), knew exactly what was meant by the big shrug that accompanied this ambiguous two -syllable lament. Even the women knew what it meant, and • smirked slyly, tacitly admitting they had us by the short and curly, and there wasn't a.dang thing we could (lo about it except endure. Nowadays, if you get sonic guy in a dark coi'na in a bar, and try to tell hiiu your wife is crazy, he's probably so house-trained that he'll look at you in horror, glance nervously over his shoulder, and blurt: "OIs, no! Perhaps a little volatile, a trifle mercurial. hue that's all." Then, casting a swift glance around, he alight whisper: "No crazier than the sea, which is also affected by the moon." There's no comfort in people like that.

I couldn't in all hu>Ilesty , and without prejudice. I've seen some pretty crazy wives in my (fay. Rut I think I'd put sonle•nloncy on her if it came to a contest, And I'm a cautious bettor.

He took one of Adam's ribs (note it was not a tooth or an ear or a toe) and made Woman. Notice the connection. A rib is 1)01 11 concave and convex, just like a dame. Imagine what women would look like if He had taken a Inc. But He wasn't satisfied with condemning men to heart attacks. because they were missing a rib, and things are inclined to cave in on a chap. I can almost hear Hinl giggling as He look, not one of Adam's regular, run-of-the-mill rihs, but his crazy rib, This was the rib heat Adam couldn't scene to control. Sometimes it made him pant breathlessly. Sometimes it grew a sharp end, punched him in the guts and gave Ilial an ulcer. Sometimes it seemed to float, and when he put out his hand to grasp it, it wasn't there. Sometimes it sang the sweetest of songs, all by itself. At others, it gave hint a pain in the arm.

We used to go to church on Sunday Morning, and have our sins washed away, or al lead slightly rinsed. Nowadays, we have a Revival Meeting on Sunday mornings. From a long list, meticulously hidden in that floating rib, she produces sins of omission and commission that make ale a combination of Attila the Hun and Henry the Eighth, with a little (lash of Richard Nixon thrown in.
