Farm life is all new The dinner has been waiting since 12 noon and now one hour later the nien arc just coming in from the fields. The situation is a common one to many who work the land too but to anyone from the city letting dinner sit while you get the crop off may be a new one, John Van Rys, is from London, Ontario and is taking part in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food's Junior Agricul- turalist program. John, 17, is working for Melvin F. Knox at R. R. #1, Blyth milking cattle and trying to get the grain in before it rains, The program places 300 urban youth, who have had no farm, experience, on farms across the province, "My older brother applied and worked on a farm a couple of years ago and enjoyed it and I felt I would like to try it too," explained John. Quietly John eats his dinner calmly listening to the chatter of two smaller children, Atter seven weeks of working on the land he is tanned and believes his muscles "have gotten bigger". Good Experience Melvin Knox believes the experience is good for the young people taking part in the program. "I am really impressed at how fast they (junior agriculturists) have adapted and really done a good job," said Mr. Knox. Close to 50 young people were accepted for the program across South Western Ontario, The host farmer pays the Junior Agriculturalist $5 per day in cash and supplies room and board worth $5 per day, in addition to helping inexperienced young people develop the skills required on a farm. OMAF provides an additional $6 per day towards the junior agriculturalist's wage. When asked if he woulld ever take up farming as an occupation John laughed and remarked that if he had the money he might give it a try. But as yet he has not decided what he is going to do in the future. Farming takes a lot of knowledge John confirmed. "there is so much you need to know about everything" he says. "But I would do it again because the For city boy experience is so good." Other host farmers in the area include Jim Phelan, R. R. #2, Blyth, who is hosting Stephen Sharpe, Sarnia, Chris Cowan, Auburn who is hosting John Millar, London and Jim Blake, R, R, #2, Blyth who is hosting Tami Coates, Toronto. Auburn junior farmers visit nursing home The Auburn Junior Farmers take an active part in the community, As one of their projects they entertained the re- sidents of the Maitland Manor Nursing hone Goderich.

The Junior Farmers in the Province of Ontario. The Junior Farmers scattered in various places amongst the residents. Several songs were then sang throughout the evening by the Junior Farmers. Music was supplied by Jean Siertsema at the piano and by Sherry Marshall on the guitar. They sang a duet and later Marsha Allan sang while playing her guitar.

He has never worked on a farm before and the whole experience is completely new to him. John is one of four urban youths working in the area. (Staff Photo) Wheat harvest half '77's? The 1978 Ontario wheat harvest has commenced with unusual conditions. According to reports by the Ontario Wheat Pro- ducers' Marketing Board, the harvest is generally about two weeks later than normal in the southwestern area. However, producers are harvesting in eastern areas at the present time, somewhat earlier than usual. It will mean a short harvest period and the crop is estimated to be only one-third of last year's record volume due to re- duced seeded acres and substantial loss through winterkill, Board chairman Russell Rogers, R.R.1, Kingsville, said total production for the '78 crop has been estimated by the board at about 1326,000 tonne. Production last year exceeded 817,000 tonne. The board official said initial price to producers remains the same as last year at a base $73.50 per tonne after deduction of the board licence fee of 37 cents per tonne. The initial price escalates $1.10 per tonne per month beginning October to a peak of $5,50 per tonne in February 1979. The chairman emphasized an additional special payment is avail- able from the board to producers if their wheat is stored on the farm. The special on-farm storage payment was in- itiated last year and amounts to 73 cents per tonne per month beginning October reaching a peak of $3.67 per tonne in February 1979. Rogers also emphasized that producers must apply to the board for the special storage payment by Sept- ember 30th, 1978. The on-farm storage payment is in addition to the escalated initial price. Other price factors re- main unchanged with agents' handling charge at $5.50 per tonne plus $1,10 per tonne conditioning fee for wheat delivered to the board at 14,5 per cent moisture or less, There is no change in grade or moisture dis- counts, although the official basis for moisture has been changed by the Canadian Grain Commission from 14 to 14,5 per cent. This is a calibration change only and does not affect the drying charges. The board has increased the price charged to proces- sors by $3,67 per tonne which will. be directly re- flected in the price to producers for the 1978 crop in final payments. 'Ijhe total base price charged by the board to processors for 1978 crop wheat used for domestic human con- sumption is $123.09 per tonne, The price charged to seed agents by the board will be the same as the domestic human con- sumption price at $123.09 per tonne. The board chairman said that because of the poor crop situation in many areas this spring, some producers seeded winterkill areas of fields with other grains, and that this may cause problems if the different grains are mixed, 2 - THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 2, 1978 SANDY MARSHALL who attended Saunder's Secondary School in London during and after the teachers' strike, is another Blyth area Ontario.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 2, 1978 - 3 From me to you Have you tried. herbal ? By Rhea Hamilton "The old way is always the best way" many old• timers believe and now many present day timers are believing it now too, One of the mysteries of nature is the healing effects of some herbal remedies used by many years ago. There's been renewed in- terest in the use of wild edibles .and many are turning to the wild plants as source of unusual and hearty fare. I have always been more interested in the medicinal use of wild plants than in eating them. It has seemed to me that all to often we reach for medical remedys that in the long run do more harm to your system than good. One tine example is the ever present aspirin. With Montgomery r The Montgomery reunion was held July 23 at the Blyth Lion's Park with 55 present. Games were held conducted by Shirley Hulley and winners were as follows: Prc-school children -Brian Love; Girls and Boys 5-8 years - Richard Love, Steven Hulley and Connie McKenzie; Girls and Boys 9-12 years - Sandra Rapien, . Murray Rapien and Debbie Rapien; Ladies Race - Mrs. Nancy Taylor and Mrs. Shirley Strong; Oldest Lady Present Miss Agnes Williamson, Wingham, Ontario; Oldest Man Present - Milton B. tension running much the thingly recommended way to relieve the crashing in the head, is to insert that gnall white tablet between your tongue and upper mouth area and flush it soundly with chlorine treated water, An excess of aspirin sone' people believe, will lower your tolerance to headaches and create a dependence on the pill so that you will need more of it in order to relieve the pain. Aspirin will also cause constipation and if taken with coffee or tea the caffienc can cancel any effect the aspirin will have on volt. Another remedy that many reach 'for in the winter is cough syrup. There are other ways to eunion held • Montgomery, uetrott, Michigan; Lady coming the farthest - Mrs. Kay (Montgomery) Smith, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Man conning the farthest - Ross Montgomery, Comox, B.C.; Youngest child present - Jeremy Cook; Goderich, Ontario; Jelly Bean Jar - Gloria Love, A smorgasbord supper was enjoyed by all.

This is a member of Portulaca family that if eaten in a salad or dried and drunk as a tea will prove soothing to the pains in the head. "proceeding from heat, want of sleep and the frenzy." it's a cold night ,and you have just come in from the barn or home from work and the chills plus thoughts of a deadly time consuming cold are getting you down. Then wrap up with a hotwater bottle and a mug of wild peppermint tea well lased with honey. The relaxing pace and the drink should get you on your way to feeling as fit as a fiddle. At honkie now we often reach for these teas and maybe it's because they make you sit down and relax while sipping quietly. That is the amain problem with a lot of these con- venient remedies. They are so fast in trying to get you repaired that they defeat their purpose by getting you tearing around thinking you' co okay. Then you come down with a doozy of a cold or headache because your body had enough time to fight. With a spot of tea sit and contemplate your navel, The extra time allows your body to catch up and repair any downed nerves. For splinters from wood chopping a poultice made from Mullein leaves draws forth thorns or splinters. Mullein is tall and has furry leaves at the base. The (lowers are bright yellow and bloom sporadically along the spike. Another little creeper that is often pulled out and scornfully thrown into the compost is the creeping charlic or ground ivy. 1t can be taken as a tonic, it is also used in washing sore eyes and that's something to remember when the chaff from haying gets into your eyes and the store is ten miles away. The world of herbal 'medicine is vast and very interesting. Too often plants arc overlooking and their benefits are only casually regarded. Next time you pull what is considered an unsightly weed from your vegetable patch take a second look and maybe you can find a use for it among the books at the library. Waste not want not!

Registration Number 1319 Were they really good old days? When was the last time you read anything good about the world we live in today? Judging by the conventional wisdom of our times, this must be the worst of all possible worlds. The family is breaking up; the deserts are spreading; our fish have been poisoned; violence is increasing; welfare is destroying the; work ethic.... And the future --again according to i conventional wisdom --looks even worse. We are threatened by too many people, too few resources, too many bombs, too little ozone, too much carbon dioxide, not enough food, an accelerating rate of change and a slowness to adapt. Having become the best -informed society in history about these hazards, we have also become, in the words of University of Detroit Professor Margaret Maxey "the most fore -warned, anxiety - prone, exhorted, and guilt -ridden of cultures." Little wonder many people yearn for "the good old days", when life was simpler and easier. What hogwash! Without denying that today's world has problems and that yesterday's had some values we seem to have lost, does anyone really want to go back to those "good old days"? When average life expectancy was 45 years? When you could count on at least one child in each family not surviving to its fifth birthday? When kitchen wastes, ashes, household garbage, and toilet dregs were dumped in gutters and on sidewalks? When the major insecticide used on almost everything was lead arsenate, and the most common red food colouring was lead chromate --both deadly poisons? When the main killer diseases were not forms of cancer, heart breakdown or nerve decay, but influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, diphtheria and whooping cough? When women and children were used as beasts of burden in mines and industries, and education was available only to the elite? That's all within the last century, documented in Otto Betteman's book, The Good Old Days --They Were Terrible. Or would you rather go further back in search of Eden, to times when feudal lords could arbitrarily ship any man off to war, or could claim prior sexual rights to his wife and daughters?Perhaps back to an age untrammelled by technology, when humans cowered in caves or tents, shivering against cold, injury, animals, ignorance, disease and malevolent gods? N we may not yet have the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, and much more than material progress will be needed to achieve it. But let's not flagellate ourselves into thinking this is Hell, either. The many hazards that pre -occupy us now do so only because, for the first time in history, we have the luxury of recognizing them. At any previous time, they would( have been submerged in the greater hazards of daily survival. (The United Church) Behind the scenes By Keith Roulston A royal visit brings out idiocy What is it about a Royal Visit that seems to bring out the idiocy in the land? At one time, a visit by the King of Queen was so rare that one could expect undue importance to be attached to many things but in recent years, the Queen or some member or other of her family has been in Canada almost as much as in Britain, Where visits used to conte once in a lifetime, now they cone once a year or more. So why all the big fuss? Yet it happens every time. A huge controversy blew up last week because the French and English translations of part of the Queen's speech in Newfoundland were supposed to be different. Different from what, I knew heard. While people claimed the French portion was "softer" or something like that, they never said how. in the meantime the newspapers and television across the country made a big point about the whole thing without ever telling us why there should be any fuss. It looked like a major crisis all because of a few misplaced words. As if that wasn't enough, the Monarchist League of Canada, headed by the wife of a British Lord who happens to be over in Canada working, was upset because they said the Prime Minister was "snubbing" the Queen because he didn't rush home from his vacation to welcome her the minute she set foot on Canadian soil. Of course if he had rushed home, people would cynically be saying that a fall election was on the way and he was out to get himself in the limelight as much as possible. Those who support the monarchy have had pretty good reason to distrust Pierre Trudeau in such matters of course. Hasn't John Diefenbaker told them often enough that the PM is a threat to the monarchy, 1 think it's true that Trudeau is in that large portion of Canadians. I doubt it's a majority but it is a growing minority, who fail to see the monarchy as the glue that keeps the country together. To them the Queen is a gracious, glamourous, slightly humourous lady who comes to visit now and then reminding us of our ancient history.. Yet despite the criticism Trudeau has taken from manarchists lately, it's ironic that never in history has the Queen visited Canada so much as in the Trudeau years at the top. 1 think it's safe to say that the Queen has been in Canada more times since Pierre Trudeau became prime minister than in the entire 100 years previously. Anyway, back to the point, which is that never is so much made of so little as when the Queen comes to visit. Perhaps it's because the Queen usually conies in the summer (maybe if she cams in the winter she wouldn't be so sure she really wanted to be queen of Canada). Summer days are the dog days of journalism. Nothing seems tobe happening but still those big pages of the newspaper have to be filled. The National News still goes on every night and . Peter Kent just can't sit there and stare and saynothing e1 nt b k1 at the camera blankly g happened today. So a Royal visit is great for the ncwsmedia. instead of staring blankly at the television camera and telling us nothing happened, Peter Kent can now stare blankly at the television camera and tell us what coloured dress the Queen wore today and how her purse and shoes were colour co-ordinated and what nice things she said to a Mountie despite the fact the Mountie's horse did a no -no just as the Queen's car was passing. Of course whenever things get dull there's good old Phillip along to put his foot in his mouth and get somebody talking about something other that the Queen's clothes, But who can blame him? How would you like to have as your prime concern making sure that you always walked a pace behind your wife knowing that if you didn't, you're apt to cause a constitutional crisis. You know we talk a lot about the stress of many modern jobs but I don't think many could match that of the Queen. We talk about the boredom of assembly line work but what about the Queen's assembly line,accepting bouquets that look alike all across the country from little girls who look alike while turning sods for buildings that all look alike or planting trees that all look alike. And all the time smiling, smiling, because if you let the corners of your mouth drop, it might be picked up by some reporter or commentator who would take it as a sign of your displeasure the whole country might go into a state of apreliended collapse. You know, if I was the Queen, I think I'd be applauding those lawyers who want to see the monarchy disbanded in Canada. I'd just like to go home to the palace and enjoy my jewels and forget about all the stupidity that arises every time I step out the front door, People Mrs, Ivy Cook, Annie and Wes, of Belgrave, visited with Mr. and Mrs. Murray Walsh and Bradley on Sunday, "Happy Birthday" to Bradley Walsh on his first birthday August 1.

Not a lot of little ones, Your second hope is that you will not be hijacked. Or, at least if you are, that the hijackers will insist on landing on the island of Bali, where the terrified hostages will be comforted by nubile, young bra -less, topless ladies, waving fans and things around to keep them (the hostages) cool, Another vague hope is that the airplane gets off the ground. 1t didn't help our frame of mind when one didn't recently at Toronto airport, and instead wound up in a ravine. Then, of course, it is to be hoped that once the thing gets into the air, its returns to terra firma. This is fairly important, they tell me. Next, it's rather essential that you have a place to lay your jet -lagged head when you get there. Marriages are made in Heaven, it says somewhere. Divorces are made when the room clerk says, "Sorry, sir. Your rescrval.ion definitely states August 15th, and this is July 15th. We haven't .a thing for the next two weeks." This experience is far, far worse than being left at the alter. It's basic that you should leave behind instructions for the disposal of your property, in case you are kidnapped in the red light district of Hamburg, or, in the case of wives, decide to run off with the one -eyed Afghanistan pilot you met in the discotheque in Rome. • We've drawn up a list for just that purpose. Kim gets the grand piano. Hugh gets the lawnmower and the color TV (they have some great programs in the jungles of Paraguay). Kim gets the lawn sprinkler for The Boys to run through, their favorite sport. My sisters get the old beds we outfumbled them for when my mother's estate was being divided. My wife's sister gets the huge linen tablecloth with the wine -stains that won't conk out. And so on. Another thing you should look after before you commence a trip is to get well rested. Maybe that's why I'm taking off this afternoon in a bus with a lot of hooligans to drive, round-trip, 200 miles and watch a doulbe header baseball game featuring the worst Travel troubles major league team in the world, Toronto and arriving home at 2 a.m. Four hours on the bus. Four hours in the grandstand. After a day's work, "You're crazy", my wife said, unequivocaly. She's right. It's extremely important, when you re packing, not to leave out anything vital to your well being. Make a check -list: laxative pills, tranquillizers, stuff for athlete's foot, piles ointment, dandruff killer, a travel iron to press out the furrows on your forehead. And so on. Naturally, you need six dictionaries: Canadian -cockney; English -French; French - German: Schweitzer -Deutsch; Toronto - Italian; Joual-French. And so on. Let's sec. Oh, yes, you need money. When the Europeans came to Canada first, they brought lots of coloured beads, and received in return for them prime furs, good as gold. When Canadians visit Europe, they take choking great rolls of banknotes, and receive in return for them —you guessed it— colored beads. Seems fair enough. Let's have another look at that list. Uh. Yup. Electric toothbrush. Extra denturs in case of breakage. Hair dye. Three quarts of underarm deodorant. Toilet paper, 12 rolls. Adhesive tape for blistered heels. Seven -iron to practise golf swings while waiting for audience with Pope. Booze. Hcy, where's the booze? Heard a euv had to pay $45 for a quart V r of rye when the OldTimers played hockey in Holland last winter. Wait a minute, now. Have to call the cops and listen to their amused snorts when I ask them to keep an eye on the house while we're away. Leave the house key under the dcventh stone on the patio, We'll never find it when we get home. Cut off the newspapers— sure sign you are not home when there are forty-two of them on the porch. Put out some ant traps to make sure they haven't demolished entire house while we're away. And so on. You know something? My wife may be crazy, as 1 suggested here recently, but she's not dumb. She never wanted to go on this trip in the first place. All she wanted to do was have anormal summer: swimming; playing golf; picking berries; enjoying the grandboys; nagging me about the weeds. Well, by George, we're going anyway, and she can lump it. As long as she doesn't lump me. You're nobody unless you've been to Europe. That is, of course, unless you've been to Ncwfic. Then you're O.K. My greatest consolation is a line from a letter my son wrote on niy birthday, "Tribulations, frustrations, rotten kids and neurotic spouse. All these things shall pass away." Thanks, Hugh, 1 needed that. Filaftei FARM EQUIPMENT LTD. lil. SEAFORTH - AYR - CAMBRIDGE lil NOWT a ..
