Swift strike affects locals
For anyone in the business of
buying and selling pleat, this
week's pleat packing plant strike
may cause problems, depending
on how long the strike
situations last.
Monday Canadian Food and
Allied Workers at five Swift
Plants went on strike. The plants
affected are in Toronto, Win-
nipeg, Edmonton, Lethbridge and
Richmond, B.C.
The strike may not be noticed
in Blyth for awhile as some of the
stores have ordered extra meat to
cover most of their orders,
Bruce McCall of the Brussels
Stockyards pointed out that other
packing ' plants will be
slaughtering more to take up the
market.
"We w'on't see niueli until the
sale Friday, Last week sales were
clown on pork. But not enough► to
be worried about."
'Ilse strike will affect pork
producers more than heel'.
The strike by Swift workers will
spread when about 4,000 em-
ployees of Canada Packers ltd.
will he locked 0111'I'Iltu'sday ill the
cites where both companies have
,plants.
Management spokesmen say
the lockouts are necessary be-
cause any settlement reached
between the union and Swift
would also be binding on Canada
Packers. The Union has been
bargaining with Swift after
breaking off negotiations with
Canada Packers.
There are other plants where
shopkeepers can get meal sup-
plies like Burns and Schneiders,
"The chances of Burns going
on strike too are there." said
Lloyd Mitchell. "I buy from them
all so I alit not really hard
pressed. Schneiders has an in -
Theatre features
All or those who have been
anxiously awaiting another
season of theatre here in Blyth
can rest easy. The first
performance is scheduled for July 7,
The theatre people have
already started rehearsals and
there are over 30 people involved
in serving up entertainment for
the summer,
The first play presented is
about a local historical character
who many have heard about.
"The Huron Tiger" an
uproarious comedy about the
most colourful of Scottish
Canadian pioneers "Tiger"
Dunlop, opens the Blyth Summer
Festival. This boisterously funny
play about ati outrageously
eccentric Canadian hero, (move
over, Davy Crockett!) is the result
of London playwright Peter
Colley's extensive research into
19th century political adventures
of Huron County.
"THe Huron Tiger" will appeal
to all who enjoy an action packed
adventure story. The play
celebrates the fighting spirit of a
Feat pioneering Scot, the gallant
woman who tried to trap hilii, and
the courage and resourcefulness
of those who tamed this wild
country. It took a "tiger" first to
overcome the wilderness and then
dependent union and will pro-
hably not gel involved."
There are others affected by
the Strike like bakeshops. In
Gcxlerich Canada Parkers sup-
plies frozen cracked eggs to
bakeshops to the tune of 3 crates
a day.
No deliveries well be made this
week inBlythfronl Canada Packers
Don Scrimgeour of the , Blyth
Meat Market reported. He is able
to handle all his business without
those shipments, however, "I
ordered extra cold cuts and things
like that last week just in case this
happened." saki Mr.
Scrimgeour.
Some of the pa:kers supply
concentrates to the mills Or feed
mixing, But Keith Alien of Allen
'I'13 Ltd, Mills in Londcsboro
reported that they would not feel
any difference with the strike
going on,
hero
to battle the Iandgrabbers of the
Canada Company, who tried to
exploit the hardy Scots and Irish
settlers.
Come and cheer for one of our
genuine folk heroes and you will
find that when the Huron Tiger
roars you will roar with laughter
too!
"The Huron Tiger„ was
especially commissioned by the
Blyth Summer Festival and is
directed by James Roy.
Performance dates Ore as
follows; Evenings 8;30 p.m. July
7, 8, 13, 14, 18, 19, 22, 24, 27, 28,
Aug. 2, 10, 18, 26; Matinees 2;00
p.m. July 20, August 24. ,
"We can get our prel .11c1
concentrates fr'11111 other p,dllIs."
Mr. Allen said. "When they
(strikers) go picketing they will
pmbahly close clown the plants in
Toronto but the business will shift
to other plants in Sl. Marys and
Listowel, so we really won't be
affected."
The union wants wages and
benefits in Swift's Canadian
plants brought in line with those
in Swift ,ilants in the United
States.
The union last week rejected a
company offer of a 6.5. percent
wage increase in the first year of
two year contract. Present rntt>
vary between $6.44 an hour 1'u

Morris postpones
decision on clerk
1By Debbie Uanney1
Morris 'Township Council went
into conlniittec-of-the-whole
Monday night to discuss
Township clerk ,lane Bad1ey's
resignation but decided to slake
its final decision at their regular
council meeting on July 3.
Mrs, Badley resigned at the
last council meeting but
councillors declined to accept it.
Also at the meeting landowners
011 the east side 0f the centre
sideroad of Morris Township
rejected the Maitland Engineer-
ing report on the Bluevale
Municipal Drain.
Andy McBride from Maitland
Engineering Services of
Winghanl had recommended that
the drain go from behind the
houses on the cast side of the
centre sideroad, cross through
the centre sideroad through Lot
30 and drain into the Maitland
River.
Some owners rejected his
suggestion, , some because , they
didn't . have any problems with
water coaling into their
basements 01. any outer problem
with water and some because
they thought another drainage
sytem would do just as well and
cost less.
Council had to reject the
engineer's report af ter some
landowners removed their names
from a petition for the drain that
had been signal in 1976.
Council also heard a letter from
the MTC regarding the flooding •
ofconcession roads 2 and 3 on lots
5 and 6. MTC had gone along
with some of council's rcconlnlcn-
chtions but also made some
suggestions of their own which
council felt weren't applicable to
the situation.
Council decided to get the
engineering firm of Burns -Ross
who had made the recommen-
dations to talk to MTC about the
problem and ask them to comply
,with, conneil's, resolution on it.

Huron Tract gets
Mid Western Ontario has
aquired a new organization, 14
\weavers and spinners from
Bruce, Huron and Perth counties
met recently in Bluth, to form the
"Huron Tract Spinners and
Weavers Guild".
Ms, Ruth Knight of Goderich,
the first president of the fledgling
organization. said that the pur-
pose of the guild is to promote an
'increased awareness and knov;•
ledge of the value of handcrafted
spinning and weaving, to the
public,
She said that a guild is an
excellent vehicle for local weavers
to learn from one another. For
that reason there are tentative
plans for tvorkshops, first with

From me to you
Don't stop shots
By Rhea Hamilton
The clinics offered for in-
ntx'ulation of children and adults
against diseases are one of the
hest things that people around
the world can be thankful for,
I was reading a magazine
quickly one clay when 1 chanced
(11x111 an article which related how
the world, now, is free of the
dreaded disease, small pox.
C'an you imagine? The whole
world is an incredibly vast place
yet we can say that it is free of
this dischse.
The last case was reported. and
treated in Mcrka City, Southern
Somalia, Where a young mast
came down with a headache and
fever which was through t. to be
malaria, But atter he broke out
into a rash two representatives
working with the National
Smallpox Eradication Pro-
gramme. were called and
diagnosed the ease as smallpox.
All the people he had conte in
contact with were checked and
the disease was brought under
control.
Now with that bit of in-
formation 1 know what a lot of
people are going to be thinking.
That if the disease has been
eradicated than there is 110 need
to keep having innoculat ion
against this disease. But there
you are wrong.
The virus is still around but
because of everyone being in-
noculated there is little chance ,of
infection.
If people stop having their
children innoculated they could
possibly conte in contact with the
virus. in case you can't remember
what the outcome of smallpox is,
there is a great chance of the
victim dying.
1 thought this point important
as the article didn't advocate
keeping your innoclations up.
With the kinds of programs the
governments of the world are
setting up to combat this disease,
now out of the health records of
the present generations, think of
the next project for them. With
the sante results many I11oI'e
diseases such as malaria, chicken
pox, and maybe even measles
could he controlled.
Protectitill against tliesease is
inllxlrtant.How sadly of us can
alkn'i some of the problems that
stem from childhood 'diseases
such as poor sight clue to measles.
None of us can and neither can
our children. So \Olen the clinic
comes around slake sura you take
advantage of' the free shots given
out. They are free so 1t'hat can 'Ou
lose?
I..I..1...I. I..I..I..I..i.
Here's a bit of good news. If
you are enjoying the trend back to
the music of the swing era then
you will enjoy hearing Hamilton's
Ray Bush play at the dance
Saturday flight at the arena being
held by the Blyth Centre kir the
Aiis for everyone to meet the
actors, actresses and workies
around the theatre this year,
it sounds like fun. There will he

have worked up an appetite

meet those people from the
theatre you can then watch at the

Equal footing
In this day and age where big business and
government appear to be taking over, the little guy is
sometimes hard pressed to find the financial
resources to fight his case.
To protect ourselves against the construction of
enviormentally unsound developments such as waste
disposal facilities and pipeline construction citizen
groups must argue against high price lawyers and
experts.
In order to protect the ordinary people, a motion
has been presented to the Ontario legislature by
NDP Environment critic Marion Bryden. She
suggests a fund be set up to provide individuals and
non-profit groups and organizations with funds to
hire researchers and experts in order to prepare their
case and give them a more equal footing with the
experts and maybe a better chance of winning their
case for their future, and their childrens' future.
The fund could be administered by a small
government appointed board which would be in-
dependent of the ministry of the enviroment.
At present the Porter Commission on Electric
Power Planning and the Hartt Commission on the
Northern Environment. have. been •allotted some
government funds for public participation.
The precedent has been set. Now that public
hearings are recognized as an integral part • of
decision making we must ensure that the public is on
an equal footing with big business or government
when community well being is at stake.
We all want justice but as long as finances give
one side a lot more clout than an other, how just is
that...?
Beer more important
than farm news?
it seems that a strike of brewery workers
that doesn't occur, is more important to our
area bl'Oadcastcl's than one that affects
thousands of livestock produccr-Iistencrs, All

‘‘riting this and still now word from CKNX
radio on the strike of packing plants.
No word to pass on from the Pork Board 00
how best to handle shipping of hogs. The
Toronto station affiliated with the CBC carries
the news, but our CBC affiliated rural station
CKNX is silent. When I phoned this morning,
their newsroom simply said that no one had
told them. Is that a news service?
It is time CKNX wakes up to thc.fact that the
majority of their listeners are farmers. Is it
any wonder that farmers who live in the reach
of the London station turn their dial to 980?
Here we have a radio station in an overgrown
village that apparently find city news more
important than rural news.
If one drives through the U.S.A. Midwest,
all one hears in the morning hours is the latest
farm news 'and that comes from city stations
'Kith hundreds of thousands of urban
listeners. It is time that.our broadcasters wake
up to the fact that the jobs of most of their
listeners depend on agriculture.
The lame excuse that it wasn't on the wire
services is 110 excuse at all. A news service
socks out the news, but maybe I'm too harsh
and CKNX hasn't got the money for a phone
call to the offices of the Ontario Pork

Consumers' movement loses respect

because the consumer movement can d0 so
much good. but in Canada the movement
has lost all its credibility, for nm at least,
through its endless yamnlerings about food

action against the price oI' beef such as
increasing imports are jnsl the latest in a

11 is the consumer nn)ycnlcnt, after all,
that has been so strongly against marketing
hoards for farmers, one of the few
defences, imperfect as they arc, that
farmers have in the jungle of modern
business. Consumer activist spokespersons
such as Beryl. Plumptrc, Barbara Shand or
whoever else is president of the associat ion
al the time, have argued that marketing
boards artificially inflate the price of I'o0(1

'They've made 111011111ai11S out (1f mole-
hills \yhenevcr something \vent wrong in 0

as arguments that the whole concept of'the
marketing board is wrong. They've scoffed
at arguments from farmers that marketing
boards don't really make that much
difference in Hood prices, that what they do
most is even out the peaks and lows by
stabilizing pl'ices al a rate both farmer a0(1
consumer can live with. '
One of the few areas Where the
consumer groups have not had 0 chance to
scream has been in beef. Beef producers
have fought vehemently against a
marketing board in their business
Referring to stick it out in the bad tittles
and recoup during the good. The past four
wars have been those bad times, 'so bad
that many farmers went broke, or switched
to sonic other kind o1' farming instead of
beef production. The result is a shortage of
bccf and the prices have soared,
Now maybe 1 missed it, but I don't recall
reading one word, hearing one speech from
aconsu111er spokesperson calling for action
to help the beef farmers through their hard
years, Consumer groups just went along
their merry way eating cheap beef (though
even then I'll bet they grumbled about the
cost) and never thinking why the bccf was
cheap or that it had to end,
Now, when the good tinges the beef men
ixttiently waited for have finally arrived,
the consumer groups are calling for the
gwcrnment to take action to get the prices
down again.
Leaders of the consumer movement are
either stupid, 01' downright dishonest and
nigher way. I can't have the least respect
Plum them. They could he stupid, I
suppose, not realizing how hypocritcal they
arc, on one hand being outraged by
marketing hoards but on the other 001
)ring willing to live with both the ups and
the downs of'the open market system. They
could be that ignorant of the farm situation
that they continue to slake such idiotic
demands. 11 so, they are too stupid for the
elevated positions they hold, They .do not
deserve the national attention they get
\Oen they get up and make one of their
speeches.
'the other alternative is that they arc'
dishonest, that they know what is really
going 00 in agriculture and they ignore it
because the truth would not sit well with
the rank and file membership of the group.
In such case they should be turfed out for
dishonesty just as dishonest politicians
should be turfed out.
Beyond the leadership, however, is the
ignorance of consumers in general who still
apparently believe that there is a free
lunch. A couple of years ago people were
going around with the idea that we could
all demand more money wyhethcr in wages
or profits, without somehow having to pay
the price for it, Our cutTent economic
situation have shown that we had t0 pay
the price for that greed, that suddenly
nobody else in the world can afford to buy
the goods we produce because tl are too
expensive.
Today on the other end of th :ale we
have people thinking that they c.... forever
get food al below the cost of production,
Because farmers lost money for four years
and the price of beef remained low,
consumers expect it ever to be thus. They
fail to sec that if farmers are losing money
they aren't going to produce and if they
don't produce there is a food shortage that
\vill inevitably bring higher prices. You
can't force farmers to be slaves, to produce
food forever at below )What it costs then) to
buy and feed those animals.
It is astounding thatihis self-evident fact
hasn't become known to the average
Canadian consumer or is it just that she
doesn't really want to know,'

Federation to
ALICE 611313
Members o1' the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture have
agreed to support the Bogie
Beach Cot1agers Association in
their fight to stop subdivision
development adjacent to their
cottages tvhich they believe will
destroy the area's environment.
Bogie Beach is about four miles
north Of Godcrich, on Con. 12.
Colborne Township,
In 1976, a plan of subdivision
was proposal for the const 'met ion
01' I9 seasonal homes 00 the land
adjoining Bogie Beach.
Mrs. J. (Tutton or Brantford,
representing the cottagers, told
the members of the 0. P.A. that
her group is appealing the
Subdivision proposal all an
Ontario Municipal Board hearing
to he held at Carlow '('own Hall on
June 12 at 11 a.m.
Mrs. Button asked that the
federation send one of their
members to act as a witness
opposing the development, which
she said would he encroaching on
agricultural land.
In a brief t'1iich she read to the
federation Members, Mrs. Hutton
Said although 200 feet of the land
proposed for development is
designated for seasonal
recreational use, the remainder is
designated as agricultural land.
Shc said the proposed develop-
ment will not be good for
drainage, will increase pollution
and will be conducive to erosion.
She added the development
was "The beginning of creeping
encroachment into the agricul-
tural life" of the arca,
Mrs. Hutton said if the
development is allowed to
proceed, "You will soon have a
taste of suburbia its the country."
Although the homes which will
bo built 00 the 19 lots arc to be
seasonal houses, Mrs, Hutton
said the fact the lots were large
and the homes were planned by
an architect, means they would be
expensive.
She said since no bylaw
provides that cottagers can't live
in their cottages all year round,
she expected the proposed
subdivision would have more than
seasonal use,
She added no erosion control
had been considered for the
adjacent gu1l0. and that the
developer- plans to use raised tile
beds for drainage.
Mars. Hutton said in her
discussion with members 1'0 three
other county councils, she found
these are likely to leech out.
[vtrs. Hutton said in Opposing
the Colborn 'Township develop-
ment, the farm organization
would he setting a precedent and
Preventing- some of the urban
problems which have crept over
farmland in other areas,
The O.F.A. members
delegated Merle Gunby to attend
the 0.M.13. hearing as their
representative.
Bev Brown suggested if a
delegation from the farming
community coasted attend the
0.M .13, hearing, this would
further indicate their opposition
to the proposed subdivison.
Guest speakers for the meeting
were Howard Datars, chairlllai Of
the Huron County plowing match
committee and Ray Scotchmer,
publicity co-ordinator for the
upcoming match to be held on the
Jim .Armstrong farm, one mile
east of Winghanl.
The two men presented a slide
show of highlights of past plowing
matches, including the 1977
match in Frontenac County,
which experienced heavy rains
suppo
and the cancellation of a number
of events,
Mr. Datars said while even the
1966 match in Scaforth also
xtt'tially rained out, made a
profit, but last year's match had
to be assisted financially by the
Ontario Plowmen's Association.
Mr. Daltlars. said Don Pullen,
Huron County ag, rep., assured
him the weather this year would
lr "in our favour, since we had a
soul year last year."
Following the slide presenta-
tion. the speakers discussed So111C
tithe layout of the six street plan
01' the upcoming match.
One of the federation INC10bet's
recommended that service roads
should he used more often before
the Match officially opens. Mr.
Scotellnler said exhibitors and
organizations taking part in the
match would he notified some
11111e ahead ►yhieh gate to come in
a11(I V.hel'l.' their site was located
on the grounds, so they would he
forced to use the service roads
beforehand, He said this year one
improvement is that service roads
will be 15 feet wider than in the
past.
Bev Brown asked if some kind
(11 seating couldn't he provided
for people who need a rest
between tours of the exhibits.
Mr. Scotchmcr said while
others had also suggested the
idea of more rest areas, the
Ontario Plowmen's Association
(r'ef'ers to keep the crowds
timing past the exhibits.
However, he said organizers of
the Huron County match hope to
persuade the township to set up
cast areas for visitors.
Visitors to the match can park
their cars in the fields of an
adjacent farm and wagons will
carry them to the plowing nun eh
grounds.

In response to a question, he
said daily admission to the match
is $2,50 for adults, $2.00 for
parking. $1 for children or 50
cents for children coming on a
pre -arranged, prepaid school
tour.
Organizations exhibiting in the
match will be allotted a certain
number of complimentary tickets
for their staff.
Mr. Scotch mer said people
planning on bringing campers to
spend the week at the match
should start arranging fin'
lxx►kings with Ken Johnston of
Bayfield.
Gordon Hill. chairman of the
Huron County Federation of
Agriculture Plowing Match
Committee then gave a brief
rc1u►rt on his group's plans for the
I'elcration exhibit.
Mr. Hill said committee
members voted to serve "a
Canadian farm product" this year
whereas in other yeti's" we've
serve(( a Brazilian farm product,,,
Visitors to the federation
building this year will be served
'glasses of milk, and a refrigerated
truck has been donated t0 store
the beverage.
When questioned wily milk
instead of cider, another local
farm product, Mr. Hill said
maces were concerned the
"aging process (of the cider)
night start too soon, and we didtit
want to contribute to the
delinquency of anyone attending
the match."
Mr. Hill said 60 volunteers will
'.be needed from the Huron County
F. of A. and other neighbouring
county organizations to staff .the
federation booth and assist'ivith
the float in each day's parade.
He added the federation,. still
hasn't decided whether they will
Ixiusc their exhibit in a tent or a
budding. In the past, a construe -
11011 company erected 0 farm
building for the federation's use
• during the match to advertise
their firm's products.
iMr, Hill said if anyone knew of
another firm who would do the
sante, this would be most
welcome. The federation requires
0 tent or building 40' by 60' in
size. •
In other business, the F. of 'A.
members were asked 10 nominate
people they feel have made an
outstanding contribution to the
agrictilturc business in Huron

Millions of tourists spend
billions of dollars a year
in Ontario.
That means jobs!
Would you believe it? Tourism creates
over 400,000 jobs in our province. It
brings in more than 4 billion dollars a
year. In the end it helps pay for
government services that the people of
Ontario need.
That's why Ontario is launching a
special promotional program to tell
people in other parts of Canada and in
the U.S. that they are
especially welcome as
visitors to Ontario.
We're saying "we treat
you royally".
Last year, over 100 million visitors
enjoyed Ontario's hospitality. This year
We
treat you
roYalY
we'r,e.expecting even more. Here's
where you come in. You can make every
one of these visitors glad they're here,
and give them a good impression to take
home. That way, they'll want to come
back, and will tell their friends to come
here, too. That's good 'business.
Let's all treat visitors royally. We'll
not only be helping to create jobs .. .
we'll be making new friends.
Your Ontario Government actively
helps develop tourist facilities, staffs
travel information offices, and promotes
Ontario as a most attractive
`vacationland and convention centre.

Report from Queen's Park
Judge says gift not currupt
By Murray Gaunt, M.P.P.
An Ontario Supreme Court
judge says he found no evidence
of corruption in 0 garbage dis-
posal company's gift of $35,000 to
the Ontario Progressive Con-
servative Party while a sister firm
ryas socking landfill permits from
the Ontario Environ men t
Ministry.
fv1r, Justice Sam Hughes, who
headed the Royal Commission
into Waste Management In-
corporated, Says in 0 report
released this week that he was
"tillable to find that there was
any ‘yrullg doing o1' impropriety,
or any improper influence
brought to hear on members of
the Ontario Government or its
public service" by the company.
The cheque was cashed on
July 24, 1974. A week later, the
Environment Ministry granted a
permit for 0 landfill site to the
sister company.
The evidence, however, in-
dicated that the Minister and
Ministry officials knew nothing
alxltlt the donation until three
years later.
A proposal to raise the rent of
tenants of Ontario's subsidized
housing units to 25% of their
income has been stalled until !'all,
according to Housing Minister
Claude Bennett.
The Minister indicated that if
there al'C increases they will be
phased in over 0 number of years.
Ontario's rent review program
should be continued for two years
beyond the planned expiry date of
December 31, with the ceiling 00
the rent increases allowable with-
out 0 hearing kept at h': an
all -party Legislature committee
has recommended.
Consumer and Commercial Re-
lations Minister Larry Grossman
and the rest of the Cabinet must
decide whether to accept the
views of the Committee when he
introduces legislation on the
issue,
There is some indication that
the House may recess for the
summer next week, depending on
the 0010011 of legislation the
Government wishes to process
before summer.
