Health Unit gets
calls on polio
Huron County health officials are re-
ceiving a number of inquiries about polio
vaccinations, but haven't instituted any
additional vaccination clinics at this time.
Edward Harrison, director of public health
inspectors in the Huron County Health Unit
in Goderich, said a polio booster shot clinic
will he held at the Goderich courthouse on
Friday afternoon from 1 :30 p.m. to 4:30
p.m.
A similar clinic will be held at the Clinton
Office of the Health Unit on Shipley Street
on Thursday afternoon from 1:30 p.ni. to
4:30 p.m.
Mr. Harrison said there has been an
increase in calls about polio vaccinations,
but most are from parents who want to check
that their children were vaccinated at school.
Students attending Huron County schools
should receive booster shots every four
years.
Mr. Harrison said his office isn't really
keeping tracks of the number of calls about
vaccinations.
Marlene Price of the health unit office in
Seaforth Community Hospital said she
rcteived about 10 calls regarding polio
vaccinations on Tuesday morning.
She said usually the calls are from parents
inquiring when their child had his last
booster shot.
However, the public health nurse added
that adults should also have polio booster
shots every four years, and most end to
forget about their shots once they leave
school,
The nurse said anyone wanting to have a
vaccination can come to the child health care
clinic at the hospital on Thursday morning
from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Also, anyone else wanting shots can call
Mrs. Price at the office during; the morning,
at 527-1243 and set up an appointment 'for
their vaccination.
The nurse said more vaccine came in on
Wednesday to the Seaforth clinic.
Mrs. Kathy Chambers of the Seaforth
Medical Clinic said the clinic has a small
supply of polio vaccine but that they are
advising peopile to get their shots at the
health unit.
She added if someone had' difficulty
getting down to the health unit, they could
ge their shots at the clinic,
The polio epidemic, which started in
Oxford County, is believed to have reached
Canada through Dutch visitors. About 100
cases of polio have been registered in the
Netherlands in a recent outbreak.
Most of the 15 people quarantined for
suspected polio in Oxford County are
members of the Netherlands Reformed
Church, religious group which discourages
immunization.
The 15 people in quarantine all came in
contact with Rick Van Vliet, 24, of Norwich,
who is in a London hospital with a confirmed
case of paralytic polio.
Morris, clerk discuss pay
By Debbie Ranney
Following a lengthy discussion over
whether township clerk Jane Badley should
still be entitled to things Morris council
promised her had she stayed on as the clerk
of Morris Township Morris council Monday
night decided to pay $426.30 for expenses
for the clerk -treasurer's course she is taking
and $1005 for mileage exlsensies.
Mrs, Badley who was recently hired as
clerk of Grey Township had earlier been
promised by Morris council that if she stayed
on with them she would be paid $75 a month
rent, retroactive to the first of January for
using her home as an office and that she
would he paid $916.30 for hours and mileage
for the Association of Municipal Clerks and
Treasurers of Ontario course that she took in
London. This amount was to make up for
extra hours she had worked in the spring on
the Morris liquor vote.

Td many of us computers present
problems that are better left to the experts
but to Doug Brown computers are only one
ofthe many fascinating things in life to learn
about.
Doug is visiting from Delta, British
Columbia, on a Lions Youth Excange and is
spending part of his time with Fred and
Laura Lawrence, in Auburn.
Doug, 16, was surprised to note the
weather here is much hotter and muggier
than in B.C. Delta is located along the Fraser
River Valley and benifits the cool ocean
influences.
But other than that, there are "more
similiarities than differences", says Doug.
Although coming from an area populated
with over 8,000 people Doug finds the people
here extremely friendly.
Computers
Doug's first and foremost interest is
computers. He and a school friend placed
seocnd in hounourable mention in a contest
aeld at the University of British Columbia
computer art. Doug is interested in
Computer created art, far more complex
than the computer graphics of comic
characters that many are familiar with.
Doug became interested in computers
during grade eight when co mputer course
was offered and a small computer was
installed at his school,
"We had a club but it sort of died of
apathy" he says.
"I spend about 8 to 10 hours per week
when in school working with the computer."
Doug's life is not totally wrapped up in
ca mputers. He is musically inclined as
well. Doug plays clarinet for the school band
and tenor sax for the school stage band. He
also dabbles with the piano, organ and
guitar.
Collector
Doug is also a collector and he collect as
what many read comics. Comic book
collecting has picked up and over the years
Doug managed to collect between 500 and
600 comics ranging from science fiction to
horror.
He belongs to a 40 member comic club nad
is co-editor of the monthly newsletter. As
with other serious collectors, The Comic
Club has its own conventions to which .
.dealers come hoping to find a treasure.
"The day after I get back there'll be a
convention" says Doug. "We are one of the
only Comic Book clubs to have conventions,
There are only 2 or 3 clubs across Canada
and next year there'll be a major Con-
vention,"
When asked if he had ever sold a real
collector's item Doug smiled and com-
mented that most collectors hate to part with
anything of value. Only speculators sell and
buy comics by the cartons.
Doug has been busy these past three
weeks and with only one week left before he
returns home, he is looking forward to
seeing the Science Centre in Toronto and the
computer centre at theiCommerce Court.
56 visitors
Of the 56 youths visiting in Ontario 10 to
15 countries are represented. They all got
together at Wildwood Conservation Area, 15
miles from St. Marys for a camping session.
They got acquainted and discussed politics,
climates, and joined together for organized
tours.
"We even had a great aquainted night
called tCanada Night where we all met
representatives from teh Upper Thames
Conservation Authority, the OPP, and
Federal and Provincial members of Parlia-
ment, Hugh Edigofter and.. Bill Jarvis,
Doug says.
Although Doug and his parents and sister
and brother once lived in the Ottawa area
there are many parts of ontario he has not
seen before. The Lawrence family have
Doug taken on trips up to the Tobermory
area and around to Blue Mountain at
Collingwood.
Doug had to laugh when he saw what
Ontarians call a Mountain. "It is con-
siderably smaller than what we have at
home."
Doug noted that there is a lot of more
specialized farming here in Ontario.
Mixed Farming
"We have a lot of mixed farming in the
Delta area because of the rich land," he
said,
As like here, the growth of pick your own
farms is catching on. The specialities are,
strawberries, raspberries and a few blue --
berry farms. Delta farmers even rent out
garden plots.
"Somebody is always out there, no matter
what the weather." laughed Doug.

Huron's IPM plans more for women
By Dave Dineen
If anyone thinks the International
Plowing Match is just for farm men who
like to look over new machinery, see
demonstrations and spend a day away from
the farm, there is a lot more to it than that,
A lot of activities, displays and compet-
itions have been organized to keep women
busy, ladies' program committee chair-
person Carol .Armstrong, of R.R. 4,
Wingham, said recently. In fact, the
committee will probably have the largest
covered arca in the entire 87 -acre tented
city,
The ladies' program, which will include
ntirnerous activities and displays of interest
to nien, will be held in two 50 by 100 foot
tents and a building of the same size.
The building will house 40 to 50 crafts
people who will display their wares, and
will feature quilts made by Huron County
residents competing in the plowing match
quilting contest.
The ladies' committee organized the
displays were incorporated with other
4-H

Clenaghan from the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food are looking for people

nutritious snacks and meals
made with metric recipes.
Anybody who enjoys cook-
ing and would like to help

competition, which is for the best quilt
depicting the nature of IPM '78, Judging of
the quilts takes place at the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food office in Clinton
Sept. 18, so the winning quilts will already
have been selected by the time they arc on
display at the match, Mrs. Armstrong said,
One of the big tents will be set aside for
fashion shows, with a seating capacity of
500 to 600, Mrs, Armstrong said,
Men's, women's and children's fashions
from clothing stores throughout Huron
County and even outside the county will be
featured.
The tent will house cooking demon-
strations by marketing boards, and hair-
styling workshops and an afternoon
exercise class,
The other tent contains horticultural
exhibits and seminars on care of cacti,
tropical plants, showing dried flowers and
Iivc flowers and man other topics of
interest to all gardeners.
It will be the first time the IPM ladies'
program committee has had a horticultural
tent, Mrs, Armstrong says. Horticultural
displays in years gone by, she said,
District 8 of the Ontario Horticultural
Society will have about a quarter of the
large tent for its displays, while the
remaining space will be for shows by
groups which participate in the seminars,
Programs will be running continuously
in the horticultural area, and the proposals
are already getting so well accepted that
committee members are getting "quite ...
excited about this", Mrs. Armstrong said,
The committee started planning the
ladies' program just after IPM '76 in Bruce
County at Walkerton, Mrs, Armstrong
said. She was approached to chair the
committee before the 1976 match and
watched that area of the Bruce match with
great interest.
In October 1976, the committee, made
up of Joan Campbell, Seaforth; Dorothy
Coultes, Belgrave; Shirley McAllister,
Zurich; Betty Cardiff, Brussels; and Susan
Wheatly, Seaforth, mct.
Thirty thousand programs for ladies'
program Activities will be printed, Mrs.
Armgtrong said, but this may not take care
of all the visitors to the exhibits.
The committee expects "half of the
people who come to the plowing match to
come through our area", Mrs. Armstrong
said, About 250,000 are expected at the
Sept. 26 to 30 match,
Anyone who has gone through the
ladies' exhibits in past plowing matches
and thinks this one will be the sante, is in
for a surprise, Mrs. Armstrong said,
because "each year the whole thing is
different".
One of the things that fall under the
committee's jurisdiction is the ordering
and sales of IPM '78 souvenirs, The
committee has plowing match charms,
pens, mugs, trays, frisbees, and T-shirts.
It won't just be committee members
staffing the three main areas of ladies'
program activity, Mrs, Armstrong said.
Women's Institute groups will provide
about 12 helpers each day and there will be
scores of volunteers helping to provide
information and enjoyment for the 125,000
expected at the ladies' exhibits,

There's no need to be lonely
By Rhea Hamilton
When I was knee high to a
grasshopper my great grand-
mother would spend the
summer minding us and
making delightful sponge
cakes and fresh jellies from
the wild fruits, There were
nui.ny evenings that we
would sit on her knee and she
would rock us.
1 am sure that there are
many kids around now, who
don't have a grandmother let
alone a great grandmother to
rock them, And 1 am just as
sure that there are many
grandmothers and grand-
fathers in this world who
don't have kids around to
liven up their lives and to
teach about finer things in
life
Old age brings with it
loneliness,
With mobility being so
easy for everyone families
have become more compact
and older relatives are left
behind as members of the
nuclear family travel any-
where in the world to live.
This leaves too many
people alone in apartments
and homes who need
activities to make them
aware that they are im-
portant and still part of this
busy world,
There is a place in Huron
County where the door is
open to homebound people,
the Huron County Day
Centre for the Homebound.
The program gets home-
bound people out enjoying
activities of many kinds and
giving them a better outlook
on life. Homebound means
anyone who is litterally con-
fined to the home, either by a
disability or age.
There is no age restriction
and everyone is welcome,
Auburn youth
seriously hurt
Leslie Nielsen, 18 of Aburn suffered major
injuries as the result of a collision Friday
night with a car drive by Sherry Lynn Rcid of
Edmonton, Alberta,
The accident occurred on County Road 25
near Auburn 4 Kilometres west of County
Road 8, Both vehicles were eastbound on
County Road 25. The Neilsen Vehicle was
slowed down to turn left whe the Reid
vehicle tried to pass but the Reid vehicle
could not pull into the right hand land in
time to avoid a collision.
The left front door of the Reid vehicle and
the gas tank on the motorcycle were
damaged. Nielsen was taken to the hospital
in Goderich.
If offers a chance for
everyone to get out and make
new friends. For those who
have a hard time of getting a
good meal together, for a
small fee a hot lunch is
provided or if you like your
own cooking you can take a
lunch.
What is so great about this
program is meeting new
f:cs and taking to someone
different. Volunteers super-
vise and participate in a lot of
the programs which include
Olde 'Pyne Music, sing
songs with some of the
numbers playing their own
instruments, crafts, and
games like shuffleboard and
bingo,
11' any one Inas wanted to
learn some activity 1 am
sure there will be someone
there to help you.
'l'he co-ordinator is Ann St.
,lean and the program
operates under the Ministry
of Community and Social
Services and New 1-1..rrizons.
Pickups are arranged by
volunteers at 10 a.m,and you
get a ride home at 3:30 p.nt.
The lack of an age linri1
makes for a very friendly
atmosphere.
Old age often leaves many
with a bad taste for living.
There is to much in this
world for anybody to feel
neglected or left out.
Last week I heard about
the continental tea that
volunteers and members
had. For three :uaya th..
atom of scones and tea
biscuits filled the , cotrtre,
When the day arrived lemon-
ade was served in
champagne glasses, by
ladies in long dresses and
duster caps. The atmosphere
was that of a party and
everyone enjoyed it from the
first planning to the final
crumb served.
If the idea of the Day
centre appeals to you or
maybe to someone you know,
don't hesitate to get in-
volved. Just contact: Day
Centre for the Homebound
in care of Huronvicw
Clinton. You could phone
them at 482-7943.
Even if don't fit the
category of homebound the
program is always looking for
volunteers who can get mojs-
than they give by helping,.
Visitors are always
welcome too. New faces and.
new friends will 1'roader,
your out look on life smatter
what your age.
Such a program is ,)o good
to pass up in favour of doing
noshing.

Be wise
Our health is one of our greatest gifts and so many of us treat it
carelessly. We don't think about protection. How many of us upon
hearing of the recent outbreak of polio in Norwich area have tried to
remember the last time, if at all that we had been immunized. If you
have not had a booster shot in the last four to five years then your
Immunization has worn off.
In Huron County the number of people taking advantage of the
immunization programs and keeping their booster shots active against
diseases is dropping all the time. Health officials are concerned but it
Iv really we the people who should be concerned as we are the ones at
risk.
Immunization as of yet is not mandatory in Ontario. We can now all
see the problems that arise when freedom of choice and religious
convictions stand in the way of protecting children and young adults.
It unfortuate that more thought is -Rot given to the problems of disease
control.
We have in the past 20 years had relatively few epidemics. 1978
would seem a poor time to start refreshing our memories of all the pain
and strife caused because many of us were too complacent about
retaining our immunity against such killers as polio.
It is not too late to contact either your local health unit or family
doctor to renew your immunity.
Diseases like polio do not disappear from our enviroment. it's only
through regular immunization that people stay uninfected. Can we
afford to allow them a foothold back into out lives thorugh unprotected
children.
Be wise. Immunize.
New looks
Did last week's Blyth Standard look a little different? Readers may
have noticed our new six column format .
The extra column will give us more room to publish Blyth and area
news events and advertising.
The narrower columns mean that the Standard joins most other
community papers in Huron and Perth which changed to the new
format several weeks ago.
The Blyth Standard welcomes any comments from readers on these
changes.
Remember to give us a call if new happens or if your know of
anything or anyone that may be of interest to others. The Standard is
Blyth's newspaper.

Behind the scenes
by Keith Roulston
I'm a games junkie
If you're one of those people who think
sport is a dirty word and you can only get one
channel on television? C.B.C. you must be
going crazy these days with the Common-
wealth Games coverage on the tube, If
you're the kind of person who gets addicted,
like me, it's hard to tear yourself away from
the television screen long enough to eat.
Yes it''s happened to me again just like it
did two years ago when the Olympics were in
Montreal. I swear I'm not going to get too
interested in teh whole thing as it comes up,
Why should I waste all those hours in fron to
of the television in the beautiful summer
time when I could be outside doing
something really exciting like scraping old
paint of the windowsills?
But somehow about the first day of
competition I end up near the television and
I shrug and say "well let's just see what's
going on. I'll only watch for five minutes,"
And I watch for five days. To he. z:k with the
house. If the paint's peeled this long a few
more days won't matter.
I don't know what it is about top
competitions like these that are so addictive
but I know I'm not the only ones it affects, I
heard of people back in '76 who couldn't
stand athletics normally who sat glued to the
television for days watching Nadia
Comeneche perform her magic on the
various gymnastic apparatus. I know people
who claim to be too sophisticated to be
nationalistic who wiped tears from the eyes
when Grey Joy leaped for joy afterthe high
jumpbefore 70,000 cheering Canadians.
There are many reasons why top athletic
events prove so powerful I think, If you like
beauty, if you like drama, if you like bravery
and determination, if you like happy stories,
if you like said stoiicis, it's all their. If you
like public spectacle, pomp and circum-
stance it's there too, The same things that
draw us to music,art, theatre or sports in
general, make the appeal of top flight
international athletic competition. the dif-
ference is that the highs of victory and lows
of defeat are blown higher because fothe
importance of the occasion and compressed
into short periods because of the brevity of
the events, All the excitment and tension of
a World Series, a Stanley Cup or a

down to a few minutes in a swimming race,
perhaps a few seconds in the 100 metre
dash.
There's something about knowing that
these people form all over the world have
worked long, torturous hours preparing
themselves for a few minutes in the
sportlight that will take them to the top of
the world or cast them to the bottom of
depression that makes each event extra
dramatic.
The too there's the pleasure one gets from
watching people who are among the best in
the world at their specialty, the same kin of
pleasure one gets in going to a concert by
Frank Sinatra or watching Bob Hope in
person or going to a play wit Sir Laurence
Olivier. There's an awe the comes over one
be ng in the presence of greatness.
All these are the things that draw people
to such events as the Commonwealth
Games. On top of that course is nationalism,
the pulling for one's countrymen to win an
event.
That, for Canadians has been a pretty
disappointing part of internaional com-
petition in the last 20 years or so. Oh we've
had our truimphs of course but they've been
few and far between. More often we've
tasted the bitterness of disappointment. Our
athletes prove ithemselves between big
international events, but whenever the
spotlight was on at a big even :such as the
Olympics or the Commonwealth Games, our
people seemed to leave there best behind in
the locker room. At the Olympics in
Montreal our top athletes failed to perform
near the top of their form and the home fans
were left disappointed (except in the pool
where the team performed well.)
But suddenly this year that too has
changed. the home fans in Edmonton have
had plenty to cheer about, Indeed for a while
it seemed we could hardly lose, especially
because most of the early activity was in the
pool where the Canadian Team has been
tremendous. It's just been victory after
victory to the point that they mustnearly
have worn out the recording of 0 Canada.
But probably the most dramatic and
heartwarming of the early victories was that
of Diane Jones-Konihowski in the Pen-
tathalon. She's an athlete who has known
the agony of not performing at her best when
the heat was on. At the Montreal Olympics
she was one of the greatest disappoint-
ments, placing far down the list when she
was expected to be near the very top. Now in
front of her fans in her home town she
completely dominated the event, setting new
records and losing only one of the five
events, and that to another Canadian.
In away she personifies what it's all about.
She is a beautiful, talented human being in
the drama of top competition who has known
what it's like to do badly who now knows
what it's like to be on top too.

No advance bean sales this year
[by Alice Gibb
This year, the Ontario Bean Producers
Marketing Board won't be selling any white
beans until they have them in hand,
Bob Allen, a Huron County director of the
board, told members of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture at their monthly
meeting in Crediton that the board won't be
able to make any advance sales of the 1978
bean crop.
In the past, the Ontario Bean Producers
Marketing Board have made advance
committments to supply dealers with 25 per
cent of the year's expected harvest of No. 1
Ontario white beans,
Last year, heavy rains in September
created problems for growers trying to
harvest their beans, and much of the crop
was lost,
When the poor weather wiped out much of
Ontario's bean crop, the board was able to
supply the dealers with only about one-
quarter of the 800,000 bags of No, 1 white
beans they had promised to deliver.
The dealers in turn had to fill orders from
European canning factories with poorer
quality beans, beans purchased from
American growers or had to buy back the
orders from factories with cash.
The two largest dealers which the Ontario
Bean Producers Marketing Board sell to, the
Ontario Bean Growers Co-operative in
London and W. G. Thompson's and Sons,
blame the farmers for not meeting their
committments and so they are holding back
the final payment for the beans, Mr. Allen
said.
Since the dealer's haven't made the final
payment to the Ontario Bean Producers
Marketing Board, they can't make the
payment to growers. The board is now suing
the dealers for the final 5 to 7 million dollar
payment and the two dealers are counter-
suing the board for a payment for the beans
they had promised, but weren't able to
deliver.
Mr. Allen told federation "members he
expects the litigation will be tied up in court
for some time, which means it will likely be
at least another year before growers receive
their final payment for the 1977 crop;'
When Mr. Allen, a commercial bean seed
grower from Brucefield, said he would try to
explain "why the bean board is in the mess
it is,"
In tracing the background of the agency,
Mr. Allen said when his father started
growing beans, in the early 1900's the barter
system was the rule of thumb. If his father
wanted a bag of sugar, he took a bag of
beans into town, and made a trade.
Only a Year
Gradually marketing boards sprang up to
handle beans for growers, including a 1935
board which was empowered to buy and sell
all the beans for the growers. This board
lasted only the year.
Mr. Allen said the boards for the next 20
year period were "negotiating boards." For
every bag of beans growers delivered to the
mill, the board would take 77 cents of the
purchase price. Then, every few years when
there was a five to 10 per cent surplus of
white beans, the board would buy this up
and dispose of it so the surplus didn't bring
down prices.
But improved insect sprays and the use of
combines allowed bean growers to double
their acreage and the board soon faced
annual surpluses.
In the late 1960's, the board decided to
build a mill in Exeter, and suggested taking
10 cents from every bag of beans brought in
by growers. The growers voted down the
suggestion, and the government took this as
a vote of non -confidence in the board.
Mr. Allen said some dealers wanted to be
rid of the board anyway, so "trumped up
false charges" against the agency which was
put out of office by the government.
The board member said the only other
marketing board which supported the Bean
Producers vas the hog producers agency,
In 1969, the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture sent down a troubleshooter from
Toronto to investigate the situation and he
decided the charges were false and alerted
farmers, The directors were re-elected and
the Ontario Bean Producers Board was back
in business.
Mr. Allen said the board still faced the
same old problem -"what to do with the
surplus beans,"
World Price
He said the board has to sell beans when
the market wants to buy them. Since 80
per cent of the Ontario white bean crop is
exported, the agency has to accept the world
price that's offered.
Mr, Allen said for the three years before
the agency marketed beans, the growers
were averageing $1 per bag less than
Michigan growers and that they averaged $1
per bag more since the beans were handled
by the board,
The Ontario Bean Producers Board
markets all the beans of Ontario growers,
although growers can hold their beans back
after harvest.
Buy Elsewhere
Mr. Allen said the European buyers can
buy beans every day of the year, and "if you
hold your beans back, they'll buy some-
where else,"
He said the problem occurs when
everyone tries to sell the crop at once, and
the price of beans goes down.
Although dealers sell the majority of
Ontario beans to Britain, Mr, Allen said last
year's crop was sold in 51 other countries as
well,
He said three European buyers were
touring Ontario this week, and that "they've
got to have our beans and we (growers and
board) have to have them."
He said the buyers in Britain have assured
the board that they would never buy their
beans all from one country. One grower in
the audience expressed concern that buyers
might purchase all their beans front the
United States. American growers are
expecting a very good crop this year.
In response to questions front other bean
growers in the audience, Mr. Allen said as
far as the board knows, the dealers cannot
put a line on future bean crops. He said
dealers can't take the debt front one pool and
carry it to the next.
Mr. Allen also told the growers that under
the federal government stabilization pro-
gram for the 1977 white bean crop,
pedigreed seed growers do not qualify for
assistance.
Payments
The government stabilization payments
are expected to be made to bean growers by
the end of this month.
In response to another question about
Ethiopia's entry into the world bean market,
Mr. Allen said although the country was the
third largest exporter of beans for one year,
this was because the government encour-
aged farmers to go into beans to get money
to buy arms,
Mr. Allen said the Ethiopian beans were
sold largely to German canning factories
since the Germans can their beans in salt
brine, and sell them in glass jars, rather than
canning them in tomato sauce.
The board member said the German
factories preferred the appearance of the
Ethiopian beans.
In response to another question, Mr, Allen
said growers would have taken more of the
1977 crop off the land if there hadn't been
crop insurance.
He said if this had happened, there would
have been more poorer quality beans to be
sold to the Japanese market or to be made
into dog food,
The Japanese buyers use the beans to
make bean jam, so don't require the highest
grade of bean,
Mr, Allen asked bean growers who had
any questions about the board to call him or
the other three Huron County directors. He
said the directors rarely receive calls,
despite the many rumours about the board.
In other business, members were asked to
contact their local papers to ask why they
weren't pub lishing the monthly Farmers'
Price Index prepared by the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture,
Peter Hannam, federation president, said
in a letter to nienibers, that while the
Toronto dailies and other large national
dailies were publishing the index, the small
town papers didn't seem to be using it,
The executive committee of the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture is going to
draft a letter to the local media about
carrying the index each month,

50 New Members
Bill Crawford, fieldman for the Huron
County federation, told members a very
successful canvas for new members was
completed in the north of the county, with 50
new memberships purchased.
He said since the federation coudn't get
someone_to donate a building, for•use at,
'International•Plowing Match,the federation
booth will be in a tent this year,.,
Adrian Vos reported that .'.there are
rumours Canada Packers and its union are
talking about a strike settlement.
He said the only problem the Canada
Packers and Swift strike is creating is that
many hog producers are taking their light
hogs to market early in the week,
He said producers are lining up to ship
their hogs early in the week, and the hogs
are losing weight in the barns while waiting
to be slaughtered.
Mr, Vos advised producers to "ship hogs
late in the week."

Water's part of the treat-
ment if heat exhaustion does
strike. it shows as a

dizziness, muscle cramps,
cold, clammy skin and some-
times nausea and diarrhea.
Get the victim into a cool
place. if he is conscious, give
him cold water to drink. If
he's vomiting or has diarrhea
add a half a teaspoon of salt
to a pint of water or give him
a salted broth.
If he's unconscious, don't
try to give hint anything by
mouth. Put hint in what's
called the recovery position,

10 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 9, 1978
Huron farm news: prevent grain contamination
By Mike Miller & Pat Lynch
Before harvesting this year's grain crop,
farmers should be sure to clean up their
grain storage facilities to avoid contamin-
ation and damage caused by stored grain
insects. If not controlled, insects can
contribute to a reduction in the market
value of the crop, feed contamination, a
loss of feed value, heating and spoilage,
low seed germination and destruction of
wood granaries.
Your preventative measures should
inqude: (1) sweeping the dust and grain
froth the walls, floor and ceiling, Remove
•trai.n accumulations from behind
'%tions, between double walls, outside
under the bin, Also thoroughly clean
grain handling equipment. Burn or bury
the sweepings. (2) Repair wooden bins to
make them weather -rodent -bird proof,
.Eliminate cracks and crevices that can
harbor insects. Likewise, repair cracks in
concrete foundations of metal bins, (3)
Apply a residual spray (bin treat) to the
walls and floors of wooden bins and
foundations or base edges of steel bins. Bin
treatments should be applied well in
advance of refilling. (4) Establish grain
storage facilities away from feed bins, feed
grinding equipment and livestock housing.
Livestock produce moisture and feed
facilities are difficult to keep insect free.
Extra good housekeeping is needed.
Fumigation is only an emergency
measure that does not totally eliminate
storage insects. Only preventative
measures can do that,
ALFALFA VARIETIES
Choosing an alfalfa variety generally
takes a matter of minutes. The decision
made in those few minutes will affect a
field for years. This merely makes that
decision so much more important.
There are two types of alfalfa, Saranac
types and Vernal types. The main
difference between these two types is
yield. The Saranac types outyield the
Vernal types by 300 to 400 lbs. per cut.
Thus, for a two-cut/year system, over
three years, the Saranac type will outyield
the Vernal type by 1800-2400 lbs.
Since harvesting, fertility and seeding
costs are the same, we may as well be
growing the Saranac types. The Saranac
types are just as winter hardy as the Vernal
types.
There are a number of Saranac type
varieties. A. list can be found on page 18 of
the 1978 Field Crop Recommendations.
Experience has shown that some of these
Saranac types yield better than others at
different locations. Thus, one of the
Saranac types may yield better for one
farmer than it does for his neighbour.
ALFALFA SEEDING RATE
If you are sowing more than 12 lbs. of
alfalfa seed per acre, you are wasting
money. Research conducted at the
University of Guelph has shown equal
yields after three years from alfalfa sown at
6, 12, 18 and 24 lbs./ac.
This year, Vic Roland at Avonton, Perth
County sowed some alfalfa at 10 lhs. per
acre and some at 5 lbs, per acre, 100
farmers viewed these plots at the Annual
Soils & Crops Twilight meeting. We asked
these farmers which seeding rate looked
the thickest. Most could see no difference,
To us this proved that alfalfa sown at an
early date with a starter fertilizer and then
sprayed with Embutox, can be sown at less
than the conventional 12 to 25 lbs, per acre.
WEED WATCH
There are a number of agressive weeds
showing up in Huron County. They include
velvet leaf, jimson weed, nutsedge and
Atrazine resistant lamb's quarters. Each
starts as one to two plants in a field, but
can cover a number of acres two or three
years after being established, These
weeds, generally, escape our most
common herbicides,
All of these weeds can be controlled with
specific herbicides next year, but it's
necessary to identify them now. Control,
this year, may consist of using a burn -off
chemical. If a burn -off chemical is used,
avoid damaging the crop. An aggressive
crop will reduce further weed germination
this year.
CHECK SOYBEANS FOR NODULES
Soybeans arc a legume that produce
their own nitrogen. This nitrogen is made
by bacteria that form nodules on the
soybean roots. The bacteria are introduced
to first year soybeans by means of a
bacteria inoculum. If this inoculum has
been applied properly, each soybean plant
should have 4 to 10 nodules, If the plants
have few nodules, there is nothing that can
be done to the current crop. This simply
means that the method used this year is
inadequate and a different method must be
used the next year, Once the bacteria is
introduced to a field, it will remain for a
number of years,
SOIL TESTING
For some reason, people do not like to
soil test. Indeed, over 3/, of the crops in
Huron County are planted without the
benefit of this management tool. Each
spring people tell us they know they should
soil test, but don't, As far as we are
concerned it is as important to have the
right fertilizer for a certain field as it is to
have the right lubricant for a motor or the
right mineral for a livestock ration.
Every farm in Huron County can either
increase their yields or decrease their
fertilizer bill by soil testing. This past
spring we spent a lot of time giving our
fertilizer recommendations without the
benefit of a soil test, These general
recommendations are based on the
experience of crop needs and a lot of
guessing as to the soil's ability to supply
nutrients. Since there was no soil test
available, 'we treated all fields the sante,
Naturally, all these fields were not the
sante. These recommendations either
decrease yields or increase crop costs.
If we had soil tests, we could point out
the areas or fields that needed different
fertilizers,

the nienmbers have been
involved in a "Garden Club"
with • an emphasis on
"Preservation".
During this project all
members have been quite
busy growing a garden con-
taining at least ten veget-
ables and four annual
flowers. They also have
learned how to preserve their
produce for enjoyment in the
winter months by pickling,
fivezing, canning and cold
storage methods.

RNAMENT
FnthAr-qnr
[by J. J. Hagartyl
Stress is a word that farmers under-
stand. A good crops man knows the
symptoms of a plant under stress due to
cold weather. A good livestock man builds
up a sense that alerts him to a sick animal.
Farmers take pride in the fact that they can
detect stress. And they usually know what
steps, if any, any needed to remedy the
situation.
People that worry may develop ulcers:
This is well known. In recent times we hear
that our mental well being is very closely
related to our physical health. And that
mental stress --be it worry, negative
thinking, fear, etc., can cause much more
than ulcers, Dr. Hans Selye, a Canadian
doctor, is often quoted as the leader in this
field. People are being trained to cope with
stress, to recognize their own symptoms
and to take steps to remedy the situation.
1 made two faun calls with Agriculture
Representatives this past month on the
request of sons who were working on
father's farm. On the first farm we were
greeted warmly by the son, who is 22. He
asked us to tour through the dairy barn and
there we met father feeding the cows. We
were introduced. Father said, "what's this
all about?" i was shocked. Son said, "oh,
it's about you and I getting together on an
agreement."
Father said, "what do we want strangers
coming around here telling us our

Farm transfer can cause stress
' business?" After a few embarrassing
minutes and heated discussion between
father and son, we discussed the situation,
Both made some good points. Father, who
was 60, said "I've only had the farm for
seven years, 1 got a rotten deal in the
beginning and now you want to take over."
Son said, "but that's the very reason 1
want an agreement now so that we don't
make the same mistake. 1 don't want to
spend the next twenty years around here
with this stuff on my rubber boots for
nothing. And when I go out on Saturday
night, I'm embarrassed to tell the fellows
how much 1 make in salary,"
This story has a happy ending. We
eventually moved to the kitchen table. And
both agreed that a gradual transfer from
salary to income sharing agreement "1.4
years with father retaining farm bank
account) to farm business agreement (2-10
years with a joint farm bank account) and
back to sole ownership by son was a logical
solution.
The other farm call was much less tense
at first. Son --age 33, has been working at
home full time since age 14. He now wants
to marry. Around the kitchen table we
discussed the various alternatives
including federal and provincial tax
implicatons. It was all new to son. He
thought it could be done by simply selling
everything "lock, stock and barrel".
Where was he going to live? The farm
income would not support two families
without major changes. Finally, son said

"it's all too complicated, maybe I'll get a
job in town." And again the old strcjss
situation was there with the fear of the
unknown, the risks of change and the need
to make some important decisions,
Stress at tines of father to son transters
is normal and should be recognized. Good
coninmunications at such times is essential,
It's better to begin thoughts by saying "in
my opinion" or "this is how I see it, how do
you see it". It's a good idea for son to
develop a record of performance (R.O.P.).
If the farm develops well under an income
share agreement (e.g. % gross income),
then father will be more satisfied to enter
into a farm business agreement, partner.
ship or corporation. And outside lending
agencies will more likely support a young
man who has some management
experience and a proven R.O.P.

Karen Weins plays "crazy"
■•."►r+lrinlia1ift el+ DI
VWCIIUVIIIis uI VI
Not too many actresses
starting out to play the role
of a "crazy" woman say
they enjoy it because "I
feel it's close to me" but
Karen Weins does.
Karen tackles one of the
most challenging dramatic
roles ever at the Blyth
Summer Festival when she
plays the title role in
Gwendoline, a drama about
an eccentric small town
woman around the turn of
the century. Gwendoline,
Karen says, isn't really
crazy, though she is a little
imbalanced through a
traumatic childhood ex-
perience, What makes her
"crazy" is that she doesn't
conform to how other
people think she should
behave. "Your are what
you are in other people's
eyes," Karen says. "If we
could act without worrying
about social pressures,
we'd all be Gwendoline's."
Gwendoline, by James
Nichol, is set in the
Mythical Ontario town of
Kingforks in 1907 and deals
with themes of intolerance,
love and jealousy.
Karen feels she has a
special understanding of
the character. The play, she
says, is about people hiding
their true selves from each
other, but because
Gwendoline doesn't hide,
she's judged by the other
people of her town, The
other characters are so
caught up in what other
people think, that they
can't be themselves,
She relates the play to
advice she once got from an
acting instructor who said
that each person is made up
of two persons: the little
person that others see, and
the big person inside you
that is full of notential if

you'll just grab hold of it
and let it free,
"It's also a play about
what love can do to people"
Karen says, "and the fact
that Gwendoline, being so
free and open, could reach
out and touch other people
and help them."
Microcosm
While some people might
see the play as an indict-
ment of small town life.
Karen, a small -towner her-
self, says it's a play about
people and could have
taken place anywhere, not
just in a small town. Small
towns are good places to set
plays because they arc a
microcosm of the wider
world, bringing all ele-
ments of society into
sharper focus.
For Karen, being back in
a small town this summer
at Blyth has been a happy
experience. When she
moved in from Toronto
where she has been living
the past few years, the 23
year old actress said she
could feel like a giant
burden had been taken off
her shoulders. Just having
the clean air, the space, the
sky was an uplifting ex-
perience. Growing up on a
farm, she says, nature is a
huge part of her life.
Theatre Bug
Acting seems a strange
occupation for a girl from a
Mennonite background in
Saskatchewan farming
community, but it was at a
Mennonite boarding school
in Rosthern, Sask. that she
caught the theatre bug
from a teacher. Later she
studied at places such as.
the Mime School at
Niagara -on -the -Lake, and
worked at such western
Canadian Theatres as 25th
Street House in Saskatoon
and Persephone Theatre,
where she toured in the
successful production Cruel
Tears, Her work in Toronto
has been mostly with

STORIES OF FAMOUS
SEA RAIDERS

The task of the sea raider

of raiders from the 17th
century up to such vessels as
the Kormoran and the Graf
Spec in the Second World
War.

Morris, clerk discuss pay
,(Continued from Page 1)
In addition, Mils Badley was to have been
paid $517.50 fora typewriter, desk and chair
which the township now ''owns, for other
mileage and telephone bills on behalf of the
township and her wages were to have been
adjusted on November 1 to $5 per hour as
per a time sheet she was keeping from June
19.
At Monday night's meeting councillors
said they were willing to pay for Mrs.
Badley's course at Fanshawe but were
uncertain as to whether they should still
have to pay for the rentjof her home as an
office or the $5 an hour they were going to
pay her for hours spent in the course.
Councillor Ross Procter said he had made
the motion of paying per hour for her course
when he thought Mre, Badley's intention
was to stay.
Mrs, Badley thought she should still be
paid the rent money for using her home as
an office but councillor Procter said, "It was
my understanding that when you took the
job the rent was included in the salary."
Reeve Bill Elston said that when Mrs.
Badley started her salary was raised eight
per cent over the former clerk's and another
six per cent last year.
"in other words you don't want to pay the
$916," Mrs. Badley said and added that
someone had to rescind the motion to pay
her that money.
Mrs. Badley said she'd like councillors
Sam Pletch and Tom Miller to rescind their
motion from a previous meeting regarding
the new way she would be paid.
She said that the only reason she had
considered going to Grey was when she was
told by the Anti -Inflation Board(AiB) she
couldn't get $5 an hour.
"Do you not really feel you should pay
someone rent for an office in their home?"
Mrs. Badley asked the councillors,
Councillor Bob Grasby said he'd say they
were committed to pay her expenses to
Fanshawe and Reeve ,E lston said he hoped
that if they paid for a course for the next girl
who became clerk he hoped she would stay
on for two or three years "because this costs
!Home economist hopes
money."
When councillor Sam Pletch suggested
'that there should be a little more discussion
Mrs. Badley said, "I really think it should be
discussed in front of me." of the proposred
office rent she said, "I was told it was in, my
wages but I didn't feel my wages were
sufficient to cover that,"
"You applied for a job at a wage and you
accepted that so you must have been
satisfied," the Reeve said,
"Until I realized the wages being paid in
other municipalities," Mrs. Badley said.
Reeve Elst 'n said, "My honest opinion is
that if we hr,dn't sent you for the course
you'd have never gotten the job in Grey"
Mrs. Badley replied IthatlMorris may have
paid for her course but they had not nearly
paid for her hours,
She said she still felt that she had worked
enough hours to be paid for the rent and her
expenses. At this point treasurer George
Michie pointed out that over the past eight
months Mrs. Badley's salary came to about
$4,077.13, a lot of which were expenses.
Councillor Procter suggested council could
pay Mrs. Badley half of what they would
have paid had she stayed on,
At this point Mrs. Badley's mileage was
discussed, She hadn't been paid mileage for
the past 20 months and in view of this
council decided to pay her $426.30 for course
expenses and $1,005, for mileage expenses.
" Also at the meeting council interviewed an
applicant for the position of clerk, _passed a
bylaw so that the Wingham fire chief could
enforce, regulate and perform fire in-
spections for fire safety, decided to write to
the Ministry of agriculture and Food on to
get information how to control and enforce a
control program for warble flys, They
decided to contact ILousie Marritt, co-
ordinator of the Rural Development Out-
reach Program (RDOP) to come to their
October meeting and discuss what the
program is doingland.made a motion to have
all signees directly involved with the
engineer's report on the centre sideroad's
Bluevale municipal drain pay toward the
engineer's report.
Changes will make
4-H more interesting
Homemaking 4-H clubs in Huron as well
as across Ontario will undergo some
changes this year and as part of what
Huron County Home Economist Bea
McClenaghan says is continuing to expand
services to people.
She said many have the misconception
that 4-H is for rural people only but it is;for
people who live in citiesatowns and hamlets
as well. She said there are many projects
that boys can take as well as girl I and that
OMAF is also trying to expand the
program so 'that more of the family
members of an individual taking a club
dare aware of what's going on.
Miss McClenaghan said enrolment or
lack of it didn't have much to do with the
proposed changes since enrolment
fluctuates anyway,.
Since leader workshops don't start until
the middle of August for the first project,
Essential Edibles, Miss McClen ;aghan
' said home economists won't be able to
judge the response to the changes on a
comparison basis . until this
project has been completed.
She said right now they're in the process
of getting the 4-H clubs together and are
always interested in getting new leaders
and having new clubs formed.
"I think that if we've got a strong group
of leaders we've got a good basis for
getting a large number of members," Miss
McClenaghan said,
Some of the changes taking place in the
homemaking program include less written
material in the project workbooks because
it's a fill-in manual.
Miss McClenagham said the book is
interesting to look at visually and provide
quizzes, crosswords, and puzzle activities
that can be done right at the meeting.
She said some of the proposed changes
were talked about at achievement day so
that some people are already aware of
them,
16 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 9, 1978
Sugar and Spice
by Bill Smiley
Brother Death
Canadians have a great preoccupation
with death, It is common knowledge that
we carrymore life insurance than any other
nation in the world, on a per capita basis, I
wonder why.
It must be a great country in which to be
• selling life insurance. Even Simpsons-
Sears, Limited,, is getting into the
;;,business, Only in Canada would a big
department store be selling insurance.
Pity.
But it's a fact. In my wife's last
computerized, machine -signed letter from
that august organization, one L. Visosky,
General Credit Manager, talks earnestly
about an accidental death policy,
exclusively for Simpsons -Scars account
customers. It pays up to $100,000 in
benefits and "protects you while you're
driving, riding, or walking --even when
you're at home or at work --everywhere in
the world! NO MEDICAL EXAM! NO AGE
LIMIT!"
Well, I don't do much driving, riding or
walking when I'm at home, or at work, but
perhaps it's a good idea, It costs only $3.50
a month for a family.
Does it mean that children under five can
be insured for up to 100 grand for
accidental death? Does it mean that people
over ninety who decide to jump in front of a
bus, accidentally, can leave their heirs set
for life? Somehow, i doubt it. It's far more
likely that Simpsons -Sears just want to be
Bang sure they're paid off, if you've
managed to get into them for a few
hundred dollars on your charge account.
Perhaps Canadians are not so foolish in
their concern about death. A pretty good.
English playwright, Will Shakespeare, was
fascinated by the subject, raid speculated
upon it in Hamlet's soliloquies.
, And a thousand thousand other poets
and playwrights have attempted to probe
into the meaning of death. A quick look at
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations shows more
than three solid pages of references to
death.
Thus 'e learn that Death among other
things, such as the end of Life, "borders
upon our birth, breaks every bond, is only a
horizon, is the fatal asterisk, is like a friend
unseen, is the end of a journey, is but the
long, cool night; a debt, a trumped ace, a
boatman, a road we all must go." And so
on. They all sound like cliches, don't they?
Brother Death becomes more familiar as
you grow older. Children arc completely
unaware of him, young. people are barely
so. It's a rather distasteful thing that
happens to other people, mostly old ones.
When I was a young fighter pilot, I was
very close to death, fairly often. But 1
didn't even feel his cold breath, nor smell
his slightly mouldy scent. A few times I
was almost literally scared to death, but
not of death.
When you begin seeing school friends in
the obituary columns, when a brother died,
M1
when a colleague dies, all of them in their
prime, you begin to feel and smell the Old
Boy. It's not particularly frightening,
merely a bit disconcerting,
In your heart, you are twelve years old,
with a little sophistication plastered on the
outside. In your head, you're a couple of
,years away from retirement, a decade or so
away from sensility, certainly on nodding
terms with Brother Death.
Holy Smokes! I hope this is not too
lugubrious a column for a family journal. It
was that thing from Simpsons -Sears that
got me going. And then niy wife suggested
I make a list of my insurance policies and
the juik in niy safe deposit box and leave it
all in the hands of niy brother-in-law, the
lawyer, before we embarked on our trip.
What a gloom -box way of commencing a
summer holiday.
I told her l would, but never got around
to it. If we're hijacked or go down in the
Atlantic or die of seasickness on our voyage
down the Rhine, let somebody else sort out
the mess I've left behind. i've been sorting
out their messes long enough.
Let's sec, now. There arc two insurance
policies in the bottom drawer of the
dresser, beneath my thermal underwear.
There's another with the county school
board. There's a stock certificate some-
where in my desk drawer, worth $94.00.
There's a house, paid for, and two cars in
the driveway, worth $250 each, on a good
day.
As for my safe deposit box at the bank, I
lost my key the first week i had it, and the
girl told me they'd have to have a chap drill
it open, with me present. We were to make
a date mutually agreeable, That was six
months ago. 1 don't know what's. in the
thing anyway.
My wife has a sewing machine that's
worth more than our two cars. The colour
TV is ten years old, but going strong, ever
since we had the 'I'V repairman put back
new knobs where the grandboys had
ripped all the originals .off.
My colleagues in the English depart-
ment arc perfectly welcome to split up my
reference books, my filing cabinet, which
has not been opened in ten years, and my
picture of the Queen, the 0110 with the
moustache drawn in.
Any left-handed golfer with arthritis may
have my clubs and cart, which are so old
and shabby they almost qualify as
antiques. There's a pretty good fishing roti
down in the basement, with the Christmas
decorations. A few patches and there's a
dandy pair of hip waders to go with it.
They're in the trunk of the old Dodge,
along With a case of beer that froze last
winter.
There, I think that pretty well clears the
decks. if Brother Death gets over -
friendly my daughter won't need a job for
the next three years. it'll take her that•long
to sort our the estate. Bunn Voyage.

Friday at POO p.m. there will be official opening ceremonies to mark the com-
pletion of the new street and sidewalk re -building programme. On Saturday
many events are scheduled to mark this occasion - a pet show, open house at the
firehall and museum. A flower show, and in the evening a beef barbecue and
dance. A Bavarian Garden will be open in the former armouries building at the
rear of the town hall.
Perhaps you will forgive us a certain pride in the fine appearance of the town's
business section with its newly rebuilt roadway, new sidewalks edged with colour-
ful red tile and the overall tidy and attractive appearance of the main street.
We hope that you will be with us to enjoy the celebrations and
that you will understand the warmth of the welcome which awaits
you!
