Home My WebLink AboutThe Blyth Standard, 1978-09-06, Page 1Welcome Thresherrnen Aside from the tanneries and the Sumner Pestival, Blyth has another attraction which brings people in from far and wide. The Huron County Pioneer Threshermen's Reunionir,Blyth has become an annual event which attracts people from all over Canada and the United States, This year the Reunion will be held September 8, 9, and 10th, Started in 1962, the Threshcrmcn's Association originated with 21 members, only one of whom --Sinton Hallahan of RR 3, Blyth, is still living. It all got started at a meeting held at Mr. Hallahan's home with other men including Hughie Chisolnl of Sarnia, J. A. Moore of Paisley, John Scott of Formosa and the Hallahan brothers. Hughie Chisolm was an old Huron county Thresherman and an engineer on the Great Lakes who had been trying to convince Mr. Hallahan• to get a steam show started in Blyth and it was for that purpose that the men met at Mr. Hallahan's home in 1962, The idea caught on because the Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association currently has a membership of 400, up from last year's total of 250, There are even members from Western Canada and the United States. John Ellacott of London is the chairman, Fred LaBeau of Bayfield is the vice-chairman and Simon Hallahan is the secretary - treasurer of the Association. Fees for the WALKING TALL --Phillip Knox keeps his head in the clouds with his stilts which his neighbour made for him. Standard Photo Association are $4 for an individual member and $5 for a man and his wife. Last year, approximately 9,000 people attended the three day show—a figure which is down from previous years when they generally had around 12,000. Mr. Hallahan said it was cold last year so that could be the explanation for the drop in attendance. "There's a bigger show coming up this year than ever before," Mr. Hallahan added, There will be 16 or 17 steam engines, step dance competitions, an old-time fiddler's competition, the Heywoods will be enter- taining, the Clinton Legion Pipe Band will be playing on Saturday, Dr. Toll's band from Seaforth will be playing on Sunday and there isa possibility that the Brussels Legion Pipe Band will be playing on Sunday as well, but that isn't certain yet. Also, Hugh Clarke from Hagersville will be putting on an old time program of fiddling and guitar playing. And of course there will be the farm machinery which according to Mr, Hallahan will include "pretty near every kind of . implement used 60 or 70 years ago, as well as some of the later machinery," But he added that orgainzers have tried to not get machinery much later than 1942.

Ken Innes of Brussels plowed the straightest fur - tows at the Huron County Plowing Match in McKillop Township on Saturday. His skill with the plow, learned on his father's farm near Stratford, earned the Presbyterian minister the over-all senior champion honors for the match. The reserve champion was another Brussels resident, IklnaldPcrrie. The junior champion of the' match was Bevan Shapton, Blyth school busy Blyth and area schools aren't having too much of a problem with declining enrollment this year. Mrs. Rena •Kolkman, secretary at Blyth Public School reported that student enrollment this year is 207 pupils compared to 224 pupils at the beginning of last year and 222 at the end. The number of people in kindergarten has decreased from 23 children last year to 13 children this year. Angus MacLennan, principal of Hullett Central School, said he'd say they had an enrollment of around 310-312 students, an increase over last year's enrollment of 306 students Kindergarten enrollment however was down from 33 children last year to 29 children this year. Mullett township The school has acquired some new staff members as well. Mrs. Linda Bosman of Clinton is the new secretary, Mrs. Maryanne Johnstone is the new music and part -tine Grade 4 teacher, Mrs. Barbara Bosman of Londesboro is the Grade 2 and 3 teacher, returning to the school after a two year absence and Mrs. Wendy Hoernig of Benmiller, who will teacher Grade 4 on a part-time basis, Walton Public School had an enrollment of 118 students as of Tuesday while last year there were 119 studetns enrolled. There are 33 people enrolled in kindergarten while last year there were 27 to start with according to Mrs, Marie Toll, principal and Grade 3 teacher at the school. Tender accepted Hullett Township Council awarded the contract for a Public Works Garage to Gohcon Construction of Dundalk who tendered at $139,999.95 at a special meeting of council held August 23. The other tender received was from W.H. Smith at $164,667. Council accepted the tender subject to the approval of MTC and after check'ng out by Burns M. Ross Associates with work to be completed by December 31, 1978 except for painting which is to be finished July 1, 1979, Wm. Hearn was present to discuss the .location of a proposed new house on his property. It was made clear to him by council of the snow problems in the area he had chosen and council could not give any assurance that roads would be kept open all winter, Councillor Cunningham had to leave the meeting to attend to other commitments. • The clerk was to send a letter to the property owner involved to have his car moved off of township property within seven days or else it will moved at their expense. Council decided not to endorse the resolution on vandalism from the town of Trenton. They accepted the tile drain loans for Lorne Snell lot 21 con. 7 for $3000 and for W. Pt. 19, Con. 7 for $750 also for Lorne Snell, subject to availibility of funds. Cannot accept application from Melvin Knox on work already completed. Council also decided to have the Road Superintendent apply for the interim subsidy 15, of R.R.I, Exeter and 11rian McGavin of Walton t+as the junior reserve champion. Bill Leeming, of Walton, the Huron Plowmen's As- sociation president, said the weekend match, held on the Ken Campbell farm in McKillop Township, at- tracted almost 100 entries, setting a record for the event. Mr. Leeming said it was the largest turnout he re- membered, and he's been going to the plowing matches all his life. Part of the success of the county match can be at- tributed to the fact Huron County will be playing host to the international Plowing Match near Wingham later this month. Local plowmen used the Huron County match to practise some of the skills they'll be demonstrating in the international match in the last week of September, Also, the members of the (Continued on Page lt DIDN'T KNOW THEY HAD TOYS HERE—Troy Chambers found a truck to play with while David Bell watches.

Thursdays will be lonely without the matinee crowds walking along Main Street looking in the shops before the curtain goes up. But the people I will miss the most around here in Blyth are the little people and I am not talking about leprechauns either. During the summer youngsters are forever running up to the stores and trotting past this office with goodies in their little hands. Some even buy surprise packages and are delighted to find a whistle in them which they proudly toot all the way home. As I write this kids are enjoying their first day at school and many of the faces are shining with smiles and excitement. And then there are those who are not accustomed to being away from home and let the fear of the first day get to them. Before nine Tuesday morning one little boy was quietly sob bing in the hall at the Blyth Public School. None of the excitement his fellows were experiencing was touching him. How many of us remember our first days at school? The first day on a bus always made ire nauseous. Between the excitement and the bus fumes, by the time I got to school 1 had already lost my enthusiasm. The very first month at school I was so excited that I wanted to talk to everyone. The teacher was, I am sure, a well meaning lady, quickly won my fear after telling me to keep quiet and leave Mary Jane to her work. Mary Jane promptly tapped me on the back and as I turned to tell her I could not talk anymore the quick feet of my teacher were soon beating out a tune down the aisle to my desk. Now it was not the Works grants approved Grants from the Young Canada Works Program for projects in Huron Middlesex riding have been approved by the Department of Employment and Immigration according to R.E. McKinley M.P.

Picture this. One small youngster sitting there with a bandage across her mouth for the remainder of the day in front of all her classmates from grades one up to eight. Well the day was a complete wipeout and as far as I was concerned there was no way 1 was going to let my mom know about this little problem at school. But the marks left by the bandage were very noticeable around my mouth and of course this raised questions at home. Now that is a lasting impression of my first week at school in grade one, I hope there are not many young ones who have to go through the same problem. At the Blyth Public School there are 13 little people starting kindergarten. They will be attending on alternate days and 1 am sure they will look forward to everyone of those days. With the start of school everyone immediately thinks of those long winter months and 1 for one am not going to delay in getting some extra wood in for the fireplace. Around Blyth the next most important date in September is the threshermen's reunion held every second weekend in September. People conic from all over Ontario and as far away as the states south of the border just to see some of those old steam engines do their stuff once more. The crowds will enjoy the displays there and especially the horse shoe pitching on Saturday and Sunday. There will also be a step dance competition, bake sale, crafts and so much more that NI leave it up to you to enjoy it all.

Bell tolls again Gosh, you have to give Ma Bell credit. The old girl must have something going for her. Seven times she has been before the Canadian Radio -Television and Telephone Communications Commis- sion seeking a greater return for her services. And, seven times she has come up a winner. The losers, of course, are you and I. The telephone users who have made no demands on Bell for service other than that which you expect from a telephone system. All we want to do is to ring up our neighbor, or a relative and chat away. So, come September 1, well be presented with increased telephone bills. For what, you might well ask. That, of course, is the real question. Residential rates will go up by 5 per cent; business rates will go up by 10 per cent and long distance calls will cost 9.7 per cent more. There is no suggestio in these increases that we are going to get any more than we are already getting. There is no argument that Bell does provide good servic but surely, if we are going to pay more, we should be getting more for our money. What's really happening is that you and I who have been the financial anchor of Bell since the year one, are payingl.more so that Bell, at the direction of the CRTC, can provide services at a greater cost to outlying areas. Now, we don't want to appear selfish, but surely the costs of a local telephone system should be born by the people who demand it. No one can object to those in remote areas having telephone service but let them pay for it, just as we have all, down through the years. In any event, we suppose we should thank our lucky stars. Bell got only 60 per cent of the extra $399 million it requested. ' Having regard for the seven-year winning streak Bell had, we are beginning to suspect that Bell arrives at its annual demands in tell same way most Government departments organize their budgets — ask for more than you need and maybe you'll get what you really want. (The Beacon Times, Port Elgin) The two greatest dangers Each day an ever -widening circle of danger surrounds mankind. It is a vicious circle that reaches the front pages only occasionally. It is the combination of babies and bombs. Each day, the world's nations are spending considerably more than $1 billion on their bombs and their military establishments. And each day, 170,000 new babies come into a world threatened by a shortage of basic resources. In a century that is haunted by the memory of two global wars and countless lesser but nevertheless grisly conflicts, the great powers and all of the smaller nations are spending between $375 billion and $400 billion on various military expenditures each year. The $350 billion figure for the year 1976 represented more than the combined national product of South Asia, the Far East and Africa. The danger of the proliferation of weapons is matched only by the other potential disaster facing humanity --overpopulation. If present trends continue, Mexico, one century from today, will have a larger population than the Soviet Union and China combined; An unchecked population in the poorer lands will mean that the already crowded island nation of Indonesia would have 1.78 billion people in 100 years, or almost half the present population, of the globe. The circle of danger can and must be broken. A greater awareness of the twin curses that haunt us --arms proliferation and overpopulation -- can help meet the crisis. Once people understand fully that only they themselves can control the destiny of humanity, the solution will be at least within our arasp. The United Church Behind the scenes by Keith R.oulston School's in 1 don't know about your house, but in ours there was a gigantic sigh of relief when Tuesday morning rollled around this week. The kids are back to school. Mom and pop are back to sanity. Usually it's only the mother that feels this great relief since father is off at work or out in the fields most of the summer and only sees the kids in short spurts during the holidays. Around our place, with our office inour home, both parents have to try to deal with the boredom of the kids in late summer and still try to get their regular jobs done. It's no easy taks. I think most kids are secretly glad to get back to school in September, even though they make a big noise about hating school. i know I did and so did most of my friends back in those days long past. Dur kids are different. They missed school they day after it stopped in June. They make no bones about the fact that they like going to school and hate to miss it. In the winter when a snow storm used to block our road, we kids used to send up a cheer. My kids send up a wail of disappointment. It's a refreshing atttitude, but it's no easier to live with than the usual reluctance about school. It's nice to see the kids get up on a September morning eager for new adventures at school, but it's frightening to see them bored in their first day of holidays in June. While I liked school once I got used to it back in the dark ages it took me some getting used to. First off, I was a shy kid who clung to the hem of his mother's dress at the first sight of a stranger, even in our own back yard. It was extreme tortune for me to go off to school for the first time, not knowing what fate was about to befall me. H eck I didn't even know if I'd ever see my mother, father and dog again. They might stick me in a cage and keep nie there. Luckily, we had a marvellous grade one teacher. In fact I think all grade one teachers are marvellous. They have such an important job, those teachers of the early grades. They can often influence for life the attitudes that yoyngsters will have toward' school. If they are kind and understanding, then kids will think all teachers are kind and understanding. If they aren't, then every teacher the student meets for the rest of his life will have to break down that feeling of distrust. Luckily, I've met very dew grade one teachers who fell into the latter group. But besides being nice,the grade one teaoher has to instill in her children the sense of wonder at learning new things. If the teacher can put across that joy of discovery that comes from learning things about the world, then the battle of educating a person is half over. flit child once gets that thirst for knowledge, then he'll spend the rest of his life trying to quench that thirst. That's why I often think we've somehow gotten our whole education system turned upside down. We give our highest respect (not to mention financial security) to our university professors. Next in order come the secondary school teachers and at the bottom of the line both in terms of prestige and remuneration come the elementary school teachers. Yet who.is more important in the system than those teachers who first handle our young people? What skill can be more important than the delicate skill of encouraging those shy, eager youngsters to learn more about themselves and their world? University professors, must know a lot surely, but they are teaching to the converted. They are teaching things to students who already have 13 years of schooling behind then and are only there because they want to learn. These are students who would learn eve if there wasn't any university to go to by reading all the available books, often thatshow students at university are left to learn anyway. High school teachers have it a little harder because some of the students just can't wait to get old enough to get out of school. Teaching people who don't want to learn is one of the most difficult and frustrating tasks known to man. Yet the difficulty the high school teacher encounters in this area can be greatly lessened, or added to by the ability of the elementary school teacher. If the teacher of young children has failed to make them enthusiastic students, then by high school it's too late to do much more than babysit them until they're old enough to quit. If the elementary teacher has succeeded, then the enjoyable challange for secondary school teachers is to give those enthusiastic students the knowledge they crave. Teaching then is a joy, not a gruelling endurance race. So as the kids go down the lane to the bus this morning; a little silent prayer of thanks goes up from our household along with another prayer that the teachers waiting for. them can have the special talent and enthusiasm to give th, em the sense of joy they need to want to learn more, ..,...,00;110, ,',91RA .. Nancy Michie sworn in as Morris clerk Nancy Michie was sworn in as the new clerk of Morris Township at Council's regular meeting which was held on Friday because or the Labour Day holiday on Monday. Council awarded a contract for work on the Branch A of the Grasby Drain to Hanna and Hamilton Construction of Listowel who tendered at $2525, Other tenders came from Gollan Drainage in Listowel at $4929.10, Robert Nicholson Construction Company of Sebringville at $2940, George Radford Construction of Blyth at $2599 and Bruce Carson of Palmerston at $2780, A court of Revision was held on the drain with Reeve Simon Hallahan of East Wawanosh Township also taking part. Lorne Humphries of Belgrave asked council concerning an objection to him tapping into a storm sewer drain, Mr. Humphries said that he understood that Morris had approved an East Wawanosh zoning bylaw for the Humphries subdivision in Belgrave "subject to our easement being kept clear of all obstructions so that we may maintain our storm sewer drain," but Mr. Humphries said there was noregistered easement through his property and added that he had received the right to tap into the storm sewer drain. Reeve Bill Elston explained that all the township was asking was that the drain be kept clear. "t'm going to have to ask the Township to draw up an agreement about the drain," Mr. Humphries said. Councillor Ross Procter suggested that both ought to know "where we stand" and councillor Sam Pletch added, that the matter should be straightened out. • Reeve Elston agreed the objection could bewithdrawn providing there was assurance the drain would not be damaged by overloading. "How can I hurt it". Mr. Humphries asked. The reeve replied he could hurt it by putting too much water in it, "One thing I'd like removed and that's objection. I can do without an OMB hearing. I can pretty well say I'm going to draw up a favourable agreement" Mr, Humphries said. "We wanted to know how much water you're dumping in there" the reeve said. It was decided that representatives from Morris and East Wawanosh councils, engineers and solicitors should meet with Mr: Humphries to discuss an agreement. Bob Dawson of Dawson and Johnson Consulting Engineers of Stratford was at the meeting regarding a bridge on sideroad 10 & 11, Concession 6 of Morris. He asked about getting approval for the cost of an engineer and Reeve Elston told him council already had approval the extent of soil testing. Mr, Dawson said that council should order soil testing and at least go ahead with preliminary plans from MTC so all the field work could be done in nice weather. Council considered correspondence from Brussels council regarding Morris' share of the operating deficit of the senior citizen's apartments in Brussels which indicated that Brussels wished to draw up an agreement with Morris regarding the building for 1978. A councillor suggested that maybe there should be an agreement with Brussels that would vary more or less with Morris' occupancy rate in the building. Reeve Elston explained that Morris entered into the Huron County Housing Authority and will pay taxes toward that. He pointed out that their share of the operating deficit would go as part of the general levy to Goderich and the Housing Authority would send Morris' share to Brussels. Councillor Sam Plech wanted to know why Brussels was able to stay clear of having to pay to the Housing Authority and Reeve Elston told him it was because the apartments were located right in Brussels. "I don't see anything wrong with us paying based on occupancy. I would think that kind of arrangement would be fairer especially when we have something to say about who goes there" . and reeve Elston suggested ,clerk Nancy Michie could advise Brussels that Morris was willing to enter into an agreement based on percentage of occupancy by residents of Morris. "If we paid on occupancy, Grcy paid on occupancy and Brussels would pay on occupancy everybody would pay the same," councillor Procter said but added that It e thought they were getting away quite fairly on 25 percent for this year. It was decided that Morris would meet sometime later with Brussels council to discuss an agreement. In other business, council agreed that councillor Tom Miller and his wife would attend the Farmstead and Home Improvement Competition in Brussels on September 6, asked the clerk to write a letter to Cardiff and Mulvey asking them to come to a meeting and explain Errors and Omissions Insurance; decided to give a grant of $10 to Muscular Dystrophy. At a recreation meeting later Morris gave a grant of $400 to the East Wawanosh Recreation Park and Community Centre Board to help cover Belgrave Community Centre expenses, insurance costs and recreation needs.

You will recall, each Authority is responsible for the manage- ment of the natural resources within one or more water- sheds. The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority was first organized as the Middle Maitland Conservation Authority, established by an Order -in Council on Sept. 6, 1951, The Authority began to implement a conservation program in the watershed of the Middle Maitland River based to a large extent on recommendations outlined in the Middle Maitland Conservation Report (1954). In the ensuing years, it became increasingly evident that in order to effectively carry out a comprehensive conservation program, it September 26 - 30, Plt7kj�, HURON X78 t. would be necessary to en- large the original Middle Maitland Conservation Authority to include the entire Maitland Conservation drainage area. This was accomplished by expansions in 1962, 1972 and 1975. The Lucknow River watershed was included under the jurisdiction of the Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity in 1976 thus bringing the total area of management to 3,014 square kilometres, The Authority's major mandate is the management of the water resources within its watershed. ' Member municipalities are informed .of impending flood conditions through the estab- lishment and maintenance of a flood warning system for all portions of the watershed. The acquisition of critical floodplain. and flood storage areas in rural and urban portions of the watershed has been undertaken to attempt to reduce property damage. Other non-structural management tools such as rural fill line and urban floodplain slapping help to identify environmental hazard zones thus contri- buting to proper land use and safe development. Man-made channel improvements have been implemented to reduce the impact of flood flow, while a swampland acquisition pro- gram is directed at preserv- ing areas that act as natural reservoirs. The Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority has no direct power in pollution control but does co-operate very "closely with the Ministry of the Environment by carrying out a water quality testing program on the Maitland River and its tributaries. 1 Welcome Threshermen '° Blyth for the Annual Threshermen's Reunion Gore's Blyth, 523-9273 land" class in multi -furrow plowing.

' (Brussels Post Photo) MVCA organized since '75 The Maitland Conser- vation Foundation received its charter on September 23, 1975, This registered charit- able organization has been established to initiate and continue conservation programs that could not normally be undertaken by the Authority because of lack of funds. Authority projects are funded partially by annual• assessment of mem- ber municipalities, based on the land area contained within the managed water- shed. The balance of funds for conservation programs is provided by the Provincial Government. The Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity is responsible for an area with a low population density As a result municipal funds • are very limited compared to the scope of the problems that must be dealt with. Thus, greatly needed pro- jects must be neglected. All donations and bequests can be deducted as chari- table gifts under income tax regulations and are also viewed under estate tax and succession duty regulations. Donations may be desig- nated for special projects of interest to the donor. A landowner who has spent a, lifetime preserving , his property and its resources for future generations may now HURON 78 t depend on the Conservation Authority to continue wise management and assure that the area will be maintained in its natural state.

The London-based actor, who played the sad -eyed schoolboy David Easton in Gwendoline and the cornball govenment inspector in His Own Boss at the Blyth Festival, actually has some Impressive acting experience behind him, Mr, McCamus, at 23 years of age, will start his third season with the Theatre London Young Company this fall. He has also completed three years of a drama course at the University of Windsor, deciding to sacrifice the final year and a degree for the chance to gain experience as a working actor, In the past year, his first as a fulltimc professional actor, McCamus worked eight out of 12 months, a record which might be envied by many veteran Canadian per- formers. His ambition for the future includes working in as many different places as he call, in as many different sytles of theatre, The actor has already experienced a variety of theatre styles from Shakespeare to childrens' theatre with its more exaggerated characters to a difficult role as one of four convicts sharing a cell in John Herbertt's biting Canadian play, Fortune and Men's Eyes. Favourite Next season, as a member of the Young Company, Mr. McCamus will act in the childrens' favorite, Paddington The Bear and then make the transition to supporting roles in Theatre London productions of Kiss Me Kate and the Canadian play, John A, Himself, McCamus started his acting career in community theatre productions while still in high school. Four years ago, Heinar Piller, the sometimes controversial artistic director of Theatre London, selected McCamus to be one of the members of the Young • Company. The company is a group of younger actors who present the theatre's childrens' productions, handle supporting roles in main stage productions while studying acting techniques as well. In his first stint with the company, McCamus' fellow actors included Jim Schaeffer and Rick Previtt, actors who have worked at the Blyth Festival in the past. After a year with the company, McCamus decided to take a Bachelor of Fine Arts in drama at the University of Windsor, The city, McCamus discovered, is still "States -oriented" and Windsorites tend to depend on Detroit for professional stage productions. Since theatre is relatively new in the city, the drama students at the university presented a number of childrens' pro- ductions as well as cabaret shows in local nightclubs. Last year, McCamus, back with the Young Company, worked in two childrens' productions and discovered "You have to be very honest, since children are very percept Ne. " YeII Out Unlike their adult counterparts, a childrens' audience will yell out their criticism if 'something about a performance doesn't ring true. One of the special benefits of member- ship in the Theatre London company for McCamus has been the experience of working under William Hutt, a veteran Stratford Festival performer and now artistic director at Theatre Lodnon. Mr. McCamus said, "Bill really believes in young actors and what they have to offer." Mr. Hutt worked with the company to produce the Shakespearean comedy Twelfth Night, presented at London's Mini Theatre last season. Mr. McCamus said working with the veteran performer "taught me a lot about Tom McCamus Shakespeare - particularly how to work with language." The Blyth actor said when playing Modern characters who speak with con- temporary language, he tended to rely on instinct in deciding how to talk. However, the Shakespearean language has to be broken down by an actor and now McCamus is finding he is applying this same technique to the dialogue of all the characters he plays on stage. Just Watching Also, McCamus picked up pointers just watching Hutt as he acted in Twelfth Night since the younger actor said Hutt's "sense of comic timing is amazing." Tom McCamus is looking forward to working with Hutt again this year - "a man who has a lot of energy and could get into some really exciting things." This season, the Young Company will be moving into a new studio theatre within the historic Grand Theatre in London. The theatre has been dark for the past year while renovations were being made to the Grand to provide more adequate backstage facilities, the studio theatre and better seating arrangements. Mr. McCamus said he expects William Hutt has decided on a more traditional theatre bill for the corning season in order to build up the theatre audience again. Among the plays being presented are Kiss Me Kate, a musical; John A Himself, a play about our first prime minister by Canadian writer Timothy Findley and Otherwise Engaged, a smash British hit. Tom McCamus decided to audition for the Blyth Festival company last spring after hearing good things about the theatre from other actors and also because the local theatre works with "brand new scripts" - an exciting challenge for an actor. The Pace One of the first things the actor noticed in his move from London to Blyth was "the pace - it's more relaxing (here)." Although Mr. McCamus hasn't mapped out any definite steps for his career, he hopes to try the Toronto stage after his next season with Theatre London. While he would like to try TV and film work, it also "Wouldn't kill me if I didn't." In the meantime, "I just want to work," he said. Working, or at least finding work, hasn't proved any problem for McCamus yet. Although he looks disarmingly young, McCamus is already very wise in the ways of the stage. naar/C/Pa[I/o,7 c Walk a block.Today.

Wawanosh lived up to their promises at a meeting of the township federation of agri- culture Monday night. Only about 10 showed up for the meeting held at east Wawa - nosh Public School and most of them were directors. Federation president, Walter Elliott, noted he had originally planned to hold just a directors meeting, but on the basis of replies to a survey earlier this year and interest expressed to him, he decided to have an open informational meeting instead. In the survey carried out by the township feder- ation, 39 farmers said they would attend its meetings. At the meeting Peter Chandler read the results of the survey, which had also questioned farmers on their opinions regarding work carried out by the county and provincial agricultural feder- ations and on quotas for commodities, Most had approved the job being done by the federation but had opposed quotas, with the exception of dairy farmers, who were generally in favor of the quota system. Ontario Federation of agri- culture (OFA) fieldworker, Bill Crawford, who also attended the meeting, congratulated the township on its survey. Such surveys an an excellent way of finding out grass-roots opinion, he said, noting one copy of the results went to Toronto and another to OFA president Peter Hannam, The personal contact of get- ting out and talking to farmers is also good, he added. "You sure can get a lot of different opinions on one subject," Doug Walker noted of the survey. As an example he said, he had received many different views on whether the Line Fences Act should stay the same or be changed and, if so, how, His own opinion is that the act should be changed to require that a farmer keep his own cattle in and not be responsible for keeping someone else's out, he said. "If I've got a dog I don't ask my neighbour to buy half the leash," Adrian Vos agreed, At the present time the act provides that each neighbor is responsible for maintain- ing half of a common line fence. OFA property tax reviewed Mr. Gunby also reported the HuronNderation of Agri- culture resolution on the OFA's property tax proposal was forwarded to. Toronto and accepted by the OFA. The resolution asked that the OFA stand on tax reform be reviewed. The provincial federation felt that the government's backing off from the question of property tax reform gave some breathing space and a committee is now working on such a review, he said, adding he's not sure what new proposals might conte forward, Darcy McKeough, who spearheaded the drive for property tax reform in Ontario, is no longer provincial treasurer, one farmer noted, to which Mr. Vos added: "Now we have Frank Miller—he'll close us down!" Other business discussed at the meeting included the upcoming OFA convention in Hamilton and a possible rise ' in federation fees. • A regional meeting will be held at Brucefield next Thursday to choose dele- gates to the convention, it was reported. Each township federation is invited to nominate several delegates and then four will be elected from each region. The Northwest Huron region includes the townships of East and West Wawanosh, Ashfield and Colborne. The convention will be held Nov. 27-29. East Wawanosh is still looking for nominees, since, of those at the meeting, only Mr. Chandler thought he would be able to attend the convention. Mr. Elliott reported he attended the convention last year and it's a "very good convention". "1 had a little reservation before I went. but have no reservations now," he said. He added that the dele- gates generally conduct themselves better than most members of parliament. "The farmer thinks first of what's good for the farmer while the MP thinks first of the party and only second of what's good for the country,' Mr. Vos claimed. Mr. Crawford pointed out this annual gathering is a "working convention" at which the OFA policies for the coming year are set. "It's the most democratic con- vention I've ever seen," he said, adding that the theme for this year is 'Commitment Mr. Gunby declared he feels the convention provides Howson Mills Elevator Division Receiving White Beans & Corn 7.• - Fast Unloading - Probe System for Corn - Sell, Store or Contract your Corn - Satellite.

It would certainly reduce the prob- lems in selling memberships in the organization, he said. OFA fee may increase He also brought up the question of a possible increase in the OFA mem- bership fee next year. Unless there is a massive rice in membership the fee wi Ithave to go up, he predicted, adding his own opinion is that it might rise $10 to $15. The fee is now $35 and hasn't been raised since about 1974. Most of those at the Hurting felt a $10 rise in the fcc would not be unreason- able, though Bob Taylor suggested it might be better in the future to increase fees by a small amount each year instead of all in one jump. Mr. Vos disagreed, saying people get tired of seeing an increase every year. In other business, the township federation is look- ing for volunteers to help erect the OFA display at the International Plowing Malcl. the Monday morning preced ing the match, Eas Wawanosh has been desig Hated to put up the clispla and Morris will take it down, Mr. Elliott said. He also reported' the federation plans to -serve milk instead of coffee at its display this year and asked for suggestions for the float, Instead of the slogan 'Farmers working for farm- ers' put 'Farmers working for consumers', Mr. Crawford suggested.Hz also suggested room might be found on the float for a plum tree.(Beryl Plumptre heads a consumer advocate organ- ization in Toronto.)

Reglonc is a harvr ;.t aid used for the desiccation of weedy that can cause problems when pulling and combining beans. Reg lone may be applied when 80 - 90% of the natural leaf defoliation of the white bean plants has occurred. This treatment docs not mature the beans, nor lower the moisture content, but merely dries out the beans in one. week or less. Harvesting can then be done at any timt. after that, depending on the condition of the beans, Treatment costs range from :approximately $6.75 to $9.00 per acre plus the cost of application.

Earlier this summer, the artistic director had submit- ted his resignation to the festival's board of governors, Mr. Phillips will not direct any productions at the festival during the 1979 season, but he will oversee planning and casting for the season before leaving on his sabbatical. When John Heney, pre- sident of the festival board made the announcement about Mr. Phillip's sab- batical, he said the artistic director had assumed a gruelling work load during his four years in Stratford which had included directing and co -directing 22 pro- ductions in addition to his administrative duties. Mr. Heney said the artistic director now needs to stop and rest.

Eckert, Chairman Director of Education 20 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 6, 1978 gSpiceanar u d S by BiIISmiley If you have the constitution of a bull moose, the alimentary ability of an earth worm, the faculty of sleeping anytime, anywhere, like a cat, a cast-iron stomach, and a very friendly bank manager, by all means take a trip to Europe. If, on the other hand, you have fallen arches, constipation, hemmorhoids, a tricky stomach, insomnia, an aver .sion to heights or public toilets or foreigners, and less than twice as much money as you think you'll need, by all means don't, You start off eagerly to Europe to look at ancient ruins, and come home looking like one. They tell me there are 50 million little old ladies tearing around Europe taking notes and pictures, missing none of the sights, eating the most incredible food, and slugging down the vino when they wouldn't even take a sherry at Christmas, back home, 1 believe it. I've seen them. But there's one less now. I set off in prefty good shape, in my prime. I came home feeling like a little old lady, If you have a loathing for winos, don't go. You'll probably come back one yourself. If you aren't greagarious, don't like people, feel some kind of phobia in mobs, don't go. You'd miserable. If you tend to get• sick on buses, airplan .es, trains and boats, better stay home. You'd be sick all the time. If you are going with a spouse or companion, you'll end your trip either full of deepest hatred, or with a new tolerance, love, whatever, After these preliminary alarming notes. I'm forced to admit we had a trip that was merveilleuse, bellissima, fantastic and wunderbar. See how travel broadens one? It's not the only way travel is broadening. 'can eat and drink anything and never gain an ounce. But I watch with growing horror as some of the ladies in our group, who began the trip fa irly svelte, went up like balloons under a steady barrage of French pastries, Italian pasta, Dutch du lings, Swiss chocolate, and a five -course dinner every night. 1 mentioned our "group,' Yes, we were bourgeois enough to take a guided tour. Many people, particularly the youngsnecr at this. "That's no way to see the real Europe," they pontificate. To some extent, I agree. The best way to do it is with a bacl pack, a year to spend, and a sucker of a father back home, ready to bail you out. But middle-aged couples who can hardly carry the garbage out aren't fit to slug around all day with a sixty -pound pack on the back. Most young couples with three weeks holidays haven't the time. And many other people, who have both the time and the strength, just don't want the grubbiness of hostels and hitch -hiking, suspect water, filthy toilets and the ever-present danger of being ripped off or winding up in the local clink for some unknown reason. Un less you are filthy rich, have a good working know -ledge of several languages, and hae plenty of time, take my word, Take a planned tour, We were lucky, lucky, We were a mixed bag of about 42; Americans, Australians and Canadians, There wasn't one sour apple in the barrel, Everybody was concerned when someone was lost, or sick, or a bag was missing. We shared picnic lunches on a train, bottles of wine on a boat, hair -dryers and irons, kisses and hugs and jokes and worries.• Everybody kept an eye on the ubiquitous Larry, 8, and game Granny, 75, both of whom came.through with flying colors, We became a large family. Two sprightly ladies from Texas insisted (and they weren't kidding) that we all have a reunion in that sovereign state at Christmas. When we had our farewell party in Paris, it was a combination of New Year's Eve and the Mardi Gras. I was kissed and .hugged and wept upon by so many ladies of various ages, shapes and accents that I was wishing the tripwasslarting all over again Perhans that ‘►;.s the greatest thing we learned on the trip, although the whole thing was tremendous chcation experience in art and history — that almost all people have a warmth and decency and plain goodness in 1110111, once the everyday facade is broken through. There was another way in which we were extremely fortunate, as well, We had — and 1 say it without qualification, the best bus driver in all .of Europe, Annette and Giovanni. For the first couple of clays, I thought Annette, a. blonde Dutch girl, was a relic of the Gestapo, as she bullied, pushed., pulled, urged, and rounded up stragglers like a sheep dog. I, thought Giovanni was a rather surly Italian. How wrong ono can be! By day three, we all knew that Annette knew her way through Europe as we know our way around our own houses, that she knew how to get us, ahead of thc moos, to the best place to cat, to shop, to go to the toilet. By the time .Giovanni had taken us through the hair -pin roads of the first Alps, and had helped every lady off thc bus at every stop, with a smile, we knew 110 was prima. More later.
