It will take place throughout Ontario on Monday, November 13,1978. This earlier date means that the time available for enumeration and the preparation of the Preliminary List of Electors was shorter than it has been in the past. Also, the time allowed for the Municipal Clerk to revise the list has been cut back as well. To make certain that you get your vote on November 13 in the correct poll, please be sure to go and check the Preliminary Lists of Electors which the Municipal Clerk will be posting soon. Watch your news- paper for an advertisement telling you where and when the Lists will be available for revision. Separate School supporters should also make a point of checking the lists. The way you are shown will not only determine which school trustees you can vote for, but may also affect the direction of the education part of your property tax in 1979. The municipal clerk has a list of people entitled to direct school taxes and this list can be revised up to Friday, October 27, 1978.

Tourism industry in serious trouble A government task force has recently reported facts that many already know - Canada's tourism indu ;try is in serious trouble. In the first half of 1978, Canada suffered a national tourism trade deficit of $1.4 billion, money that might have helped solve at least sc me of the our nation's growing unemployment. The reasons fofourdeclining tourism are obvious. Hotels and motels in Canada often charge higher rates than those in other countries. E yen the declining Canadian dollar hasn't brought the influx of American tourists into the country that many government experts predictud it would. In Europe, perhaps the part of the world most experienced in catering to tourists, bed and breakfast accomodations and pensions in private homes provide accomodation for people travelling on a limited budget. They don't offer fancy dining rooms, elaborate bars or entertainment, but they do offer clean, comfortable accomodation, breakfast, and ususally a bath with hot running water. In Canada, Vancouver has already started an alternate accomodation orogram of housing tourists in private homes and this year the city r.:ported a record year for American tourists, one of the few parts of Canada to experience a tourist boom. Another problem that we Canadians still tend to view the tourist as someone we 't an rip off. After all, a tot rist must have money if he's travelling in another country, so some of us overcharge him all along the line, often refuse to allow him the proper exchange on his currency and sometimes we forget there's such a custom as friendliness. Our own Canadian tourists are also often choosing to spend their hard earned dollars outside the country. Despite our falling dollar, Canadians still find their money stretches further in the United States or overseas. It's still cheaper to fly to Europe than it is within our own country. Many of the special charter flight prices available in Canada are honored only by Air Canada. This means the tourist is stranded with a worthless ticket when the national airline shuts down, as is happening with startling frequency lately. Canadians can find alternate forms of transportation, but the time involved in travelling by train or bus often takes a sizeable chunk out of their vacation. We need cheaper air flights within Canada, on more airlines, and a revamping of tourist accomodations offered across the country. Let's start making an effort to be more hospitable hosts. We'll feel friendlier, our economoy will get a much needed boost and if we do a good job, maybe the visitors will come back next year. After all, Canada has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world to offer. To the editor: Bible society will canvass As the executive committee of the Blyth Canadian Bible Society, we inform you and ,our readers of our annual canvass; this canvass will begin on October 23 and continue through October 31, 1978. We are deeply concerned that the printing and distribution of Scriptures continue for the Bible is living water and bread from God. Sincerely, Ted Hoogsteen Behind the scenes By Keith Roulston Thanksgiving day Monday was spent around our house bringing in the final produce from the garden, and I can't think of a much better way to spend the day. Looking at the calendar it seems impossible that it was only those few short months back that we plowed up the garden and worked the soil fine and sowed the surds, all the time thinking of the bumper clop we'd bring in, We never thought, of course, of the weeds or the long hours of work involved in helping those seeds do %%fiat comes naturally. Somewhere along the line the prospect of that bumper crop got last. Like true farmers we worried because there wasn't enough rash, celebrated when the rains came then cursed when the rains refused to stop when we'd had enough. The conditions of the summer seemed ideal for weeds. You'd just work your yvay • . 1 through the, garden and get it all clean when you'd look behind and see the weeds to your knees where you'd started out. Sonie where along the line in late August or early September we gave up and let the weeds have their way, Thus it was something of a surprise to us when we went out to dig the carrots which we could hardly see and found there) large and plentiful: so plentiful we don't quite know what we'll do with them all. It's the scone with the beets. We had cucumbers caning out our cars before the frost came tcx) and without any effort to protect then) funs Brost, our tomatoes kept producing until Thanksgiving weekend. Now if we had been the kind of meticulous gardeners for whom a garden with more than three weeds two inches high is a catastrophe, this bounty wouldn't have been so surprising. But somehow, given the conditions, it reminded us again just how lucky we are to live in such a land of plenty, People in many parts of the world must strive long and hard just to get enough food to keep them alive. Here, even under Tess than perfect conditions, we have an over abundance. Yet for all our good luck, we Canadians don't seem to have much appreciation for our good fortune, Thanksgiving probably had less meaning than our other holidays. How many Canadians really stopped and took stock of all they had to be thankful for on the weekend? Instead most were busy % )rr;ving about the falling dollar, the rising cost of living or the high unemployment. We're like the man who looked out on a sunny day and saw one tiny cloud on the horizon and then spent so much time worrying about the possibility that the one cloud could bring rain that he couldn't enjoy the sunshine, On the weekend I also watched the news and saw pictures from Vietnam where war is raging again. this time between the Communists, of Vietnam and the Com- munists of Cambodia. The poor villagers of Vietnam who don't care about politics of any sort are caught in the middle of a war again as they and their ancestors have been for centuries. Compared to this, what does inflation matter? There were pictures too of' the death and destruction in Labanon where the so called "Christians" and the so called "Moslems" are destroying their homeland in an attempt to destroy each other, Watching that, we slx)uld be so thankful just to live in peace, even without all the other great things we enjoy. The only people in Canada who seem really thankful are those who have had to do \sithout what we have today. People who lived through the Depression and have a gcx)d memory realize how good our lilfe is today. People who lived through the horrors of the war and remember it well feel the same way, Unfortunately our population is made up for the most part of pcoplc who have never suffered or who have convenient- ly forgotten the suffering and can see only the whole bunch of golden eggs that might be inside the goose and we're too impatient to let her give them to us one at a time. I'm biased, but 1 think a good deal of the problem with Canada is that people aren't close enough to the land anymore, In my garden I can see the miracle of life. I can ren1e111ber that pumpkin we bought for Hallowe'en two years ago that we saved a handful of seeds from. We planted the seeds and last year got 0 few more pumpkins and planted their seeds and this fall we have several Targe pumpkins,each bigger than the original pumpkin we bought. That's the miracle of nature. I've also seen the time when beautiful young plants shrivelled up and died in the heat or when seeds didn't come up in all. These things, make us more appreciative of the success. Here in the country and small towns, we're kept in touch with the realitie s of life. The cart)), the changing of the seasons, the hardships and the goodtimes all give us a kind of wisdom that can never be learned in the classrooms of the greatest universities. We realize more than a city person can the place of man in nature. And hopefully, we at least are thankful for our blessings.

Tourism industry in serious trouble A government task force has recently reported facts that many already know - Canada's tourism indu ;try is in serious trouble. In the first half of 1978, Canada suffered a national tourism trade deficit of $1.4 billion, money that might have helped solve at least sc me of the our nation's growing unemployment. The reasons fotrourdeclining tourism are obvious. Hotels and motels in Canada often charge higher rates than those in other countries. E ✓en the declining Canadian dollar hasn't brought the influx of American tourists into the country that many governmentexperts predicted it would. In Europe, perhaps the part of the world most experienced in catering to tourists, bed and breakfast accomodations and pensions in private homes provide accomodation for people travelling on a limited budget. They don't offer fancy dining rooms, elaborate bars or entertainment, but they do offer clean, comfortable accomodation, breakfast, and ususally a bath with hot running water. In Canada, Vancouver has already started an alternate accomodation program of housing tourists in private homes and this year the city r,;ported a record year for American tourists, one of the few parts of Canada to experience a tourist boom. Another problem '^ that we Canadians still tend to view the tourist as someone we *1 an rip off. After all, a tot rist must have money if he's travelling in another country, so some of us overcharge him all along the line, often refuse to allow him the proper exchange on his currency and sometimes we forget there's such a custom as friendliness. Our own Canadian tourists are also often choosing to spend their hard earned dollars outside the country. Despite our falling dollar, Canadians still find their money stretches further in the United States or overseas. It's still cheaper to fly to Europe than it is within our own country. Many of the special charter flight prices available in Canada are honored only by Air Canada. This means the tourist Is stranded with a worthless ticket when the national airline shuts down, as is happening with startling frequency. lately. Canadians can find alternate forms of transportation, but the time involved in travelling by train or bus often takes a sizeable chunk out of their vacation. We need cheaper air flights within Canada, on more airlines, and a revamping of tourist accomodations offered across the country. Let's start making an effort to be more hospitable hosts. We'll feel friendlier, our economoy will get a much needed boost and if we do a good job, maybe the visitors will come back next . year. After all, Canada has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world to offer. To the editor: Bible society will canvass As the executive committee of the Blyth Canadian Bible Society, we inform you and ,our readers of our annual canvass; this canvass will begin on October 23 and continue through October 31, 1978. We are deeply concerned that the printing and distribution of Scriptures continue for the Bible is living water and bread from God. Sincerely, Ted Hoogsteen Behind the scenes Iiy Keith Roulston Thanksgiving clay Monday was spent mound our house bringing in the final induce from the garden, and 1 can't think of a much better way to spend the day. Looking at the calendar it seems impossible that it was only those few short months back that we plowed up the garden and worked the soil fine and sowed the scads, all the time thinking of the bumper crop we'd bring in. We never thought, of course, of the weeds or the long hours of work involved in helping those seeds do 1tihat conics naturally. Somewhere along the line the prospect of that bumper crop got least. Like true farmers we worried because there wasn't enough rain, celebrated when the rains came then cursed when the rains refused to stop when we'd had enough. The conditions of the summer scented ideal for weeds. You'd just work your way through the garden and get it all clean when you'd look behind and sec the weeds to your knees where you'd started out. Somewhere aking the line in late August or early September we gave up and let the weeds have their way. Thus it was something of a surprise to us when we went out to dig the carrots which we could hardly see and found them large and plentiful: so plentiful we don't quite know what we'll do with them all. It's the Brune with the beets. We had cucumbers coming out our cars befbre the frost cants toxo and without any effort to protect them taunt frost, our tomatoes kept producing until Thanksgiving weekend. Now if we had bccn the kind of meticulous gardeners for whom a garden with more than three weeds two inches high is a catastrophe, this bounty wouldn't have been so surprising. But somehow, given the conditions, it reminded us again just how lucky we are to live in such a land of plenty. People in many parts of the world must strive long and hard just to get enough good to keep them alive. Here, even under less than perfect conditions, we have an over abundance. Yet for all our, good luck, we Canadians don't scent to have much appreciation for our good fortune. Thanksgiving probably had less meaning than our other holidays. How many Canadians really stopped and took stock of all they had to be thankful for on the weekend? Instead most were busy %%arr;ving about the falling dollar, the rising cast of living or the high unemployment. We're like the man who looked out 011 a sunny dory and saw one tiny cloud on the horizon and then spent so much time worrying about the possibility that the one cloud could bring rain that he couldn't enjoy the sunshine. On the weekend 1 also watched the news and saw pictures from Vietnam where war is raging again, this time between the Communists, of Vietnam and the Com- munists of Cambodia, The poor villagers of Vietnam who don't care about politics of any sort arc caught in the middle of' a war again as they and their ancestors have been for centuries.

Bill and family moved to Blyth just over two years ago from near Cranbrook, At their new location at the cast end of Blyth, Bill has a small barn out back newly renovated into a honey house. Bill has worked in the county for the past eight years in the Milk industry branch of the Ministry of Agriculture. The Elboths and their Pout' daughters used to own a general store in Cranbrook. Only Laurie lives at home now, and Hazel and Bill have become very active in the community.

The time for caring starts on the first warm day in the spring, usually about March. The hives are checked and if the winter has been cooler than usual the bees will need feeding. A solution of two parts sugar and one part water will keep them going. The next check conies in May when the hives are checked for extra queen cells. The queen cells arc easily recognized by their shape and location on the side of the frank. They appear much higgcr and are not uniformly shaped like the, rest in the frame. Any extra queens that may hatch \tiff' take part of the hive of workers with them when they, leave. But here is where experience conics in, This summer Bill found two queens in one hive working cooperatively with each other. Rather than kill one of then( and risk killing the younger one, Bill contacted a professional bee keeper who told him to leave them alone. The older queen understood she needed help and allowed the younger to help. As long as two queens work together, there will be no problems, Bill was told. Harvesting the honey begins in the is used to keep the bees quiet. Gently "When handling bets one must always treat then( gently," Bill says. Even the kinds of smoke can be a problem.

The hives should be located in a ventilated arca which will also offer shelter from cold north-west winds. '1'hcrc should be a supply of water available nearby. "How 1 remember the water is from an old book read a number of years ago" says Bill. "'I'hc book ''I'hc Bee Keeper' was about a kccperout in Oregon who had to keep dishes of water for his bees becau50 the only body of water available for then( to drink from was the salty ocean."

GRANDVIEW LUNCH CAMPBELL TRANSPORT HOWSON & HOWSON TRIPLE K BLYTH STANDARD THE BLYTHSTANDARD, OCTOBER 11, 1978 — '11 Board cuts costs by using surplus buses The Huron County Board of Education decided Monday that rather than sell six of its surplus buses it \yould offer them to its secondary schools for in house use. The board hopes to cut costs at the secondary school level by using board owned buses, driven by teachers from the schools, to transport students on field trips and school teams travelling to other schools for athletic competition, A year long experiment at Goderieh District Collegiate Institute proved that costs can be cut by locating 0 bus at a secondary school and making it available to that school and elementary schools near it. (3DCI principal John Stringer asked the board in October of 1977 to gi\e the school a surplus bus on a trial basis to sec if money could be saved from the school's field trip and transportation budget. In a letter Io the board Stringer said the bus had travelled 3,492 miles since it \vas delivered to the school and that it had been used by Godcrich Collegiate. Colborne Central Public School, Exeter Public School and two elementary schools in Godcrich. The principal indicated that maintenance costs on the vchicic had been high for the year but noted that sonic repairs Were extensive and that tlic bus should be safe from major i'(pairs for the next several years. Despite the unusual costs the hoard owned bus Was cheaper than the con- ventional method of hiring a bus and driver for field trips and atheletic events. Stringer pointed out that tlic availability ()I' the bus has enabled elementary schools to retain) worthwhile fie Id (rips and has made the outdoor 0(Iu(aton program at GD('i Inae) more effective. The principal told the board the bus "remains a valuable asset to the GD('I students and elle elementary schools that use it." Seaforth trustee John Henderson asked the hoard to give Scaforth District S1:L.0101 .y School one of the better buses to permit that school to operate 0 pr;)gram similar to (x)dcrich. He'nerson asked that the principal tithe school be given the cha1100 to have a bus if' he \\Panted it stressing :hat it "he one of the better buses". Exeter trustee Clarence McDonald told the board that when the program was first: suggested he fought it but said that "it' this is the way we are going t0 go we may as well have one at South Huron in Exeter" McDonald suggested that caeh of the secondary schools be offered a bus stipulating that if the principal took the vehicle, costs to maintaili and operate it would come out of the school's field trip budget . Director of education John Cochrane suggested that the board "put this can of A home of To find YOUR home, Read the standard VACATION PROPERTY AND REAL ESTATE GUIDE worms to bed once and for all," He asked if the board intended to make it policy to give sdlools.^, surplus bus rather than sell the vehicles by tender. "1 can't see us keeping a whole fleet of surplus buses," commented Colborne trustee Shirley Hazlitt. Board chairman John Elliott reminded the board of the fina ncial problems it is plagued with, Elliott said the hoard faces restraint in many areas adding that it already had several delegations of departments heads requesting more money for aC'ADE:MI( ;Iwas 01 schools, Elliot said it was obvious that something had to he sacrificed to pn)Vi(Ie funds "Are \ye going to expand field trips or back up and use the money • elsewhere?'' he asked. "Where's our priorities?'. Henderson pointed out that the move may be saving money the board is going to have to spend anyway. He said Mian)' elementary shcool students are being bussed to secondary schools for shop and home cu)nonlics at 0 cost of 110 cents 0 mile. He said \\•it11 little co-operation 011(1 manage- ment the surplus buses could he used to gain big sayings to he board. "'clic board provides buses this year and has to Iliake oils next year and 111a\' be forced to cancel field trips," said Elliott. "Are we going to cut academic costs fol' iix)i'e I'ee1'catlOIi?" Seperate school trustee Eugene Frayne pointed out that the only costs to the hoard was for the bus. He said the buses may ha\c brought $700 to $1.001) through a sale but the nlcmey would have been used for field trills for Godcrich. "Il appears Godcrich made it work," said Frayne. Board transportation manager R.L. Cun- ningham pointed (,111 that the maintenance cast Were ahsorhe(l by the sehool hal 111111 IIx hoard maintained fleet insurance on the bus. He said the insurance cost alum( $250. Elliott suggested that the bus located at the school didn't save a lot last year when everything is considered. He said the school may Save standing time costs for a drivel' by having a leacher operate the bus but suggested that the hoard paid a supply teacher to 011 in for the one driving the bus. He said the supply teacher costs the hoard quite a bit more than the tour dollars an hour a driver costs. "I'm pretty sure that a principal would not take a teacher out of a classroom when he can get a driver for four dollars an hour," said Henderson. "I'm pretty sure they're bmadcr minded than that." It was pointed out to the board that 11111011 of the success of the surplus btis program depends on luck. If the buses can he operated without major repairs the board \\ill realize substantial savings, It' costly repairs are need obviously those savings will be reduced. Zurich trustee Herb Turkhcim told the board either "all the schools have a bus or 111110 have 000."

Frank Wall, executive member of the Ontario Feder- ation of Agriculture (OFA) told Huron F of A members that the pressure to produce more for less is felt by all farmers. The comment came while a panel composed of representatives from the milk, turkey, broiler and egg industries discussed quota transfers at the Huron F of A meeting in Londesboro Thursday night, The monthly F of A meeting was attended by over 50 people, and the panel members and audience discussed a number of questions concerning the issue of quota transfers. The O.F.A. is looking into formulating a policy on quota systems, and needs input from their members. "We (as a whole) arc responsible for the quota system," said Mr. Wall. "We have to sec that no one is hurt and not jeopardize our position as an agricultural group. We can't say 'leave the eggs to the egg producers or leave the milk pn ducers to their problems.' We arc in this together," Panel members were Bill Scott, Seaforth representing the Egg Producers Marketing Board, Ken Crawford, Middlesex, Chair- man for the national Turkey Producers Marketing Board, Jim Drennan, Dun- gannon, member of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board, and George Underwood, Wingham, member of the Broiler Market- ing Board. Each gave a brief outline on their policies concerning quota transfers. The Turkey Board has the quota fixed to the property where the birds are grown. The limit is 2 million pounds. "We found that without a limit the incubators were gaining control of the industry" said Ken Crawford. "A general farm' , Would buy a turkey quota and affix it t( a p ic(•t: of property, with the board's consent, with little problems." "Quotas may he sold separately or with the farm. The turkey and egg boards are the only two to have national agencies. There is a problem with setting quota values which have gotten out of hand but none with transfers themselves," Mr. Auburn WMS sends cards to sick 'the Auburn Presbyterian Women's Missionary Society met for its September meeting at the home of Misses Ella, Minnie and LJura Wagner, Due to the illness of the president, Mrs. Wilfred Sanderson, the first vice-president Mrs, Eleanor B►ndnock was in charge. The meeting followed a Thanksgiving service pre- paed by Margaret Boyd of Toronto, Mrs. Frank Raithby, Miss Laura Wagner and Miss Minnie Wagner. Tlx: roll call was answered by quoting a Bible verse with Thanksgiving in it. The minutes were read by secretary Mrs. Lillian Lcatherland and the financial statement prepared by treasurer, Mrs. Frances Clark, was accepted. An invitation to attend the Knox' United Church Women's Thankoffering or October 22nd was accepter when Mrs, (Rev.) Garnet Potter of Goderich will speak. Cards were signed and sent to sick members, Mrs. Ed. Davies, Mrs. Roy Dar, Mrs. John Hallam ane Mrs. Wilfred Sanderson. Lunch was served by the hostesses Misses Luella, Minnie and Laura Wagner. 1 Crawford said. Broiler quotas are another matter. The quota prices have been allowed to float at their own price set by each farmer. Transfer of quotas without buildings has been frozen since April 1976. The maximum purchase of quota only, has been set at 35,000 birds and for building and quota the maximum is 75,000, Both were raised this year by an additional 5,000 birds. "We have contributed as a group towards the study of quota transfers plus studying the situation ourselves" said George Underwood, of the broiler market- ing board. "We have agreed not to fort,) a transfer policy yet until we know more," he said. Egg Quotas The quota system was first introduced in 1973 to the egg producing industry. "lt is fairly restrictive" said Ken Scott, of the Egg Marketing Board. Egg quotas may be transferred only on sale of the farm. Quotas may not be moved to another blare titr three years after the sale of the fame property. Egg quotas may not he amalgamated together unless both were owned before September 1976..'Fhe niaxintum quota is 35,000 hens. "'i'here is a leasing program for those wanting to get into the egg producing business" said Ken Scott. "The program is for one year and you can only lease one quota," The temporary quota is for 30 months. Atlee January 1, 1979 the temporary quota will he for only 15 months and after June, 1981 there will be no more temporary leasing. Jing Drennan, chairman oI' the Huron County Milk producers outlined the dairy quota transfers which he said offer a benefit to the family f'arnl. Fluid milk transfers are exchanged between pro- ducers if' the farm is a family concern. The quota is transferred 100 per cent. In all other cases the producer sells the quota back to the tutor(' which takes 25 per cent off the quota. If a farmer becomes eligible to buy back a quota he buys only the 25 per cent which the board has collected from transfers. Fluid milk quota costs $16 per pound and industrial milk costs $.04 per pound. As with fluid milk quotas, industrial transfers arc 100 per cent retained by a family operation. The board will buy back 50 per cent of a quota at $.04 per pound and the rest at an agreed upon price, The limit set for milk producers is 9,999 pound of milk. The value of quotas depends on the type of commodity. Turkey quotas are deter- mined by supply and demand; and broilers and egg quotas are built into the cost of the farm, "Egg quotas generally run $10 to $12 pct' hen and leasing quotas on a person to person basis is usually $2.50 per bird per year, said Mr. Scott. "industrial milk has gone as high as $30 to $32 per pound and as low as $3," said Mr. Drennan. "The board has set the price at $16 per pound." Adrian Vos criticized the panel for allowing bigger farms to get bigger and "keeping the little farmer out." There are broiler operations for sale to anyone. The board will even help in the transfer," replied George Underwood, Fortner OFA president Gordon Hill told the group that new producers are being left out in the cold. "When gUotaS are available It was said that a large percentage would be made available for new producers" he said. "But it didn't work out that way. Most of it went to the established farmers," "'i'here arc farms available for those who want to get into egg producing business. At present we are working on 61 per cent Of our quota. We are nowhere near filling our barns," said Bill Scott, "Existing pro- ducers can afford to pay more than a new p1Yxitrccr'." "When you buy a dairy faun you buy into the system gradually" said .line Drennan. "'i'he board now offer's an opportunity for neW proetuccrs 10 buy into the quota system." "You can get funds from any chartered brink in Canada to buy a quota with," said Ken Crawford. The one problem in common which some board members saw was with consumer groups.

"Our biggest problem is not the consumer" said Ken Crawford, "We have more problems in our own ranks. There are eight provinces under the National Canad- ian Turkey Marketing Board, and on every one of our sittings there is a consumer rep. there, We have a good relationship with the consumers," he said. Bill Scntt pointed out that "The minute you limit the producer to make money the consumer yells and calls it inefficient." "The fact today in chicken producing is that we can produce a 41/4 pound bird on .75 square foot. It used to be on one square foot" said George Underwood, "We are now able to put out more per square foot." "I think the consumer problem stems from fluctuating; prices" said Mr, Scott. "Quotas have produced stable prices. In the U.S. producers have free enterprise and are now more sympathetic to us." "When we went over our economic formula the consumer representative noted our logy increase which was below the AB," Staid Jin, Drennan. "We are efficient. We have 15,800 farmers produc- ing 5.2 billion pounds of milk." "'(rake a look at turkey prices," said Ken Crawim'd. "In the early 60's the price was between $.89 to $1.12. It's the sante toclay." "1 and a supporter of management, quotas, and marketing boards and think they are essential," said Mr. Hill. "I suspect that management will be used in flit lire years. But I am concerned at the value of quotas. It could confirm suspicions that a large profit is Heade. I mean, who would pay $2 per year .lust to keep a hen?" "Marketing boards have been negli- gent," Gordon Hill said. "Don't you guys go and bugger up the system so when the hog producers \Fant to try quotas the public won't Ice them." It was agreed by the panel that by combining their efforts they will get a more reasonable system. • "Despite the fact that we are trying to get more stability Ail the farm the quota system takes out the highs and lows in the market" , summarized OFA executive member, Frank Wall.

Dial .523-9646, 20 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 11, 1978 Sugar and Spice by Bill Smiley While we were travelling this past summer, my wife remarked something to the effect that it's too bad Canada doesn't have the attractions to lure hundreds of thousands of tourists that Europe has. I assured her tartly that she was all wet. This country has everything to make it a tourist's paradise: mountains aplenty, great plains, deep forests, thousands of miles of coast line, a million or so lakes, good hotels, interesting cities in French and English, and good highways. It's not that we don't have enough for the tourist. We have too much, and we take if for granted. Tiny Switzerland doesn't, and it makes use of every inch, milking the tourist as carefully as it milks its cows, those brown ones that graze up the mountains in summer and give chocolate milk. We have trememfous sports facilities: skiinL„ sailing, fishing, hunting, hiking, alot of it 'free or very cheap. Try going skiing or fio-hir,g or hunting in Europe. Il will cost you al arm and a leg, and in many countries is impossible for foreigners. We don't have any ruined ahhovs nr falling -down castles, hut have p only nl' aha; Boned log houses, which , in terms of humanity, are just as touching, if' not as impressive. We're a little short on cathedrals, but not on churches. Some of our towns o1' two or three thotlsall( hav('as many as len dllIeren1 churches. You can pray standing up, sitting down, on your knees or flat on your hack. You ea! 't (Io this in Europe. We are nationalistic, but in a lackadaisical way, with nothing of the prickly pride oI' the French, the dcja vu pride of the Italians or the smug complacency of the Swiss or. Germans, We have a certain blandness. a lack of kcal color perhaps, to the unobservant eye. Bnt local color often consists of nothing more than rol ssr hard you can't cal then), dirty toilets, and execrable wine, in Europe. And certainly have all those, As local color, try a house party in Newfie, -.tturday night in Sudbury, a stroll down Yonge St.'s Strip in `'Toronto, or (oble through downtown Montreal or Vancouver. Or try Friday night in a beer parlor, anywhere in the country. We don't have nutigy ancient twins. We put then) away in nursing homes. But a visit to these could probably be arranged for the tourist. People think we don't have much history. We do, We have all kinds of it, It's just younger than that of European countries, But the Battle of Duck Lake, Saskatchewan, is just as important to this country as the Battle of Waterloo was to Europe in its time. And finally, we have something no other nation in the world can touch, Thanksgiving weekend, and everything that goes with it. The great sad, final flanging of our foliage before we close down l'or six months. Speaking of 'Thanksgiving, I hope you have a lot to he thankful for. I think we (lo, as a nation. We have the nlostbracing, delightful, exasperating - climate in the mild.. We still have vast, comparatively unspoiled wilderness.

A side from thinking this is 0 pretty good place to live, I have lots of personal treasons for thanksgiving. A good wife who can cook like a chef, sew like a couturier.
