WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1978 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: 20 Cents Volume 88 — No. 42 To honour music teacher by Debbie Ranney On top of a shelf in the home of Winona McDougall sits a statuette of Bach's head. It seems like an appropriate piece for someone who's been teaching music since 1919. Mrs. McDougall, who will be 80 years old on October 26, was born in Stanstead, Quebec in the Eastern Townships. Her ancestry is United Empire Loyalist. She was educated at Stanstead College where she took her Associate Degree in Music with the Toronto College of Music in 1919, the year it amalgamated with the Royal Conservatory of Music. Mrs. McDougall was asked to stay on at Stanstead to teach piano and theory which she did for eight years. She was also asked to teach at Alma College but her parents wanted her close to home. On Saturday, October 21, past and present pupils of Mrs. McDougall are having a reunion in order to help her celebrate her 80th birghday. It seems like a fitting tribute for someone who has been teaching music for almost 60 nears, When she went West to visit a brother she met John McDougall. They were married soon afterwards. They lived in Woodstock, Brantford, Caledonia, and then moved to Goderich where they lived for eight years. While in Goderich, Mrs, McDougall was president of the Goderich Music Festival from 1943 to 1949, a festival which grew from a few hundred up into thousands of contestants. Mrs. McDougall said that the Festival was started by the Goderich Music Club who worked with her. The size of the festival was becoming unwieldy so an adjudicator suggested smaller competitions be held in smaller places and that the winners of these go on to the Goderich Festival. This suggestion was later carried through. Later she and her husband moved to Blyth where he had a managerial job in the bank. While in Goderich, Mrs. McDougall had taught music at the schools and when she and her husband moved to Blyth she started teaching at the high school in Wineham. More Students After her husband died in 1959, she took on more private students than she had before quitting her job at the high school. Mrs. McDougall has had eight of her students receive their associate degrees in music, and she's had four students who have been the highest scorers in the province. They were Doris Grierson, highest in the province in Grade 10 in piano; Glenda McLlwain from Carlow, highest in Grade 7 piano; Barbara Snell Bosman who took the highest in her Grade 8 singing and Debbie Hicks who took the highest in Grade 4 singing. Musical Careers Although she has had many students who have done well with their singing, Mrs. McDougall didn't start teaching that until about 10 years ago. She wasn't certain about it at first but after the first year when her students got really high marks in their exams she decided she would carry through with it. Another claim to fame for Mrs, McDougall is that a lot of her students around the country are now playing the organs in various churches. A lot of her students have gone on to further their music careers. Susan Street went on to take a Bachelor Degree Music, Brenda Johnston of Belgrave also went on to take her Bachelor of Music degree, and Doreen Anderson also fo Belgrave is at University working on hers. Douglas Thomason of Wingham is now teaching music at both Alnia College and UWO, Kathy Madill went on to work on her Bachelor of Music Degree in singing at Wilfred Laurier University. She is in her runts, Mrs. McDougall has many of her second year there, own of which she can be proud. She got first But,aside' from her studentsacconiplish- Mrs. Winona McDougall (Continued on Page 11,) Who's running? for municipal election Voters will soon be going to the p oils to make their choices for municipal councillors. Seeking re-election in Blyth will be Reeve Don Noble, councillors Helen Cowing who said that if she can be of service to the village she is willing to leaver her name in and councillors Bill Howson and Albert Wasson. Jewel Plunkett sworn in New postmistress Auburn residents will be seeing a new face through the wicket at the local post office. Jewel Plunkett has been officially sworn in as the new post mistress for Auburn, Mrs. Plunkett was among a number of tenders forthe job when Ken Scott decided to retire from the position. The post office is nothing new to Jewel. She has had a postal route for five years and feels that has helped prepare her for the new . position. As of November Ken will have served as postmaster for 20 years. Alfred Rollinson managed the post office for 35 years before Ken took over. "1 ani looking forward to the job" Jewel said on her first full day as postmistress on Friday. Jewel lives two houses down from the post. office so neither hail nor sleet nor dead of night will keep her from getting to the office. Jewel and her husband Andy have five children, three of whom are at home, A NEW FACE — A new post mistress "Andy will be taking over the postal has been sworn in at the Auburn route" said Jewel. "He knows the route as post office. Jewel Plunkett has he helps Inc every day." The post office is located in the old Orange replaced Ken Scott at the Post Hall and before that, it was across the street. office and will be overseeing the office The present building is owned by Ken Scott as well as three postal routes. who rents it to Mrs. Plunkett who in turn is reimbursed a percentage from the postal authorit ies. Bert McCreath, from the Goderich post office, brought out the papers to be signed and officiated at the transfer of the job Thursday. After 20 years Ken said he'll miss the job and the regular routine but '`would roll with the times." The activities at a small post office include everything from taking care of COD's to handling money orders. "In a larger office everyone has their own jobs to do but here you have to know and do a bit of everything," said Ken. "It is like being a general practitioner," Ken said. Ken will be staying on for a few weeks longer until Jewel gets to know the ropes. Born and raised in and near Auburn, Jewel is familiar with all the people and names. "Being so close is real handy" Jewel said. "And coming into sort mail every morning for the route for the past five years has really gotten me into a good habit." The post office will have the same hours as before open five days between 8:30 to 12 and firm 2 to 5 and until noon on Saturdays. If Jewel runs into any problems Ken will still baassociated with the postal system as he has a postal route which is manned by Orville McPhee.

In Hullett Township there arc a fen, surprises. Reeve John Jewitt who has bees' on council for 11 years and served four of them as reeve said, "I'm 95 per cent certain that I'm dropping out," although he added that .he's still leaving the door open. He statedas his reason for probably not running that he didn't see how he could fit everything in. He said he wished cone positions were for one year terms. Current deputy reeve Joe Hunking said that he world run for reeve if Mr, Jewitt didn't and that he would run for re-election as deputy reeve if Mr. Jewitt did seek another term as reeve. Councillor Greg Brandon said, "I'm going to run for deputy reeve this time. I just felt I've had enough experience on council that I could do a job as deputy reeve." Mr. Brandon has been on council for four years. Councillor Joe Gibson said he would be running again but councillor Tom Cunningham was unavailable for comment. Hugh Flynn who ran in the elections two years ago said he had had 15 years in council so he wasn't running since he had served his time.

Even when I was a kid, when fall came around, 1 would do my room up special; getting closets cleaned out, and drying fbwers to look at later in the winter, 1 even helped pick and bring in the vegetables and fruit for winter susten- ance, With the years this squir- rely feeling has intensified, Now that I have a deep freezer, and a fruit cellar, my hands are kept busy through- out the summer and fall preparing for a long winter ahead, Although we're not jam and jelly eaters one of the greatest pleasures is to stand back and view those neat little jars of amber and burgundy coloured delights. With lots of people re- member at Christmas those little jars go a long way in sending yule time feelings to loved ones. Pickles are another great delight. The spicy aroma fills the kitchen and seems to linger for days. I often wish 1 could bottle the smell and open it up on a blustery day and enjoy the sensation all over again. ' Pickles arc a problem in our house. My partner is very fussy about how crunchy his dills are and I try to keep them small and spicy just to please. But the best time for him to cat pickles is in the feel summer when the salads are being served and cold meats need a little company on the plate. So 1 wait a whole winter and spring before I can reap satisfaction from seeing his face as he enjoys those green little dills. I always have the feeling that one day in the dead of winter there will be such an intensive storm that we will not be able to get away from the farm for days, no, weeks, Then we can live quite comfortably off the harvest put away in the fall. But the last few years old man winter has pulled a joke on me and my poor organ- ization. Either I get caught away from hoe in the storm and neither husband nor 1 enjoy the benefits, in time of need. Or like one time 1 had gone to work and was going to pick up bread and dog food and got storm stayed away. Meanwhile at home the husband was busy baking bread and the dogs were feasting on hamburg and soup bones from the freezer. This year 1 am prepared. I will faithfully try to keep extra dog food in the back room and there is always yeast and flour kept on hand for breads, Plus I have taken a vow not to leave honk if t he wether is bad, But then I know what will happen. It will snow on a clay the paper has to go out and I will have Tots of copy to get in and will head out with good intent- ions to return soon. Obituary THOMAS HENRY DURNIN Thomas Henry Durnin, better known to his Londesboro neighbors as Harry Durnin died in Clinton Public Hospital on October 9. He was in his 80th year.

The hue and cry about saving your energy resources although not entirely dead has certainly diminished in volume. The threat of oil and gas not being existent in 10 years or less seems to have dropped from many minds and now educators and conservationists are finding Canadians have to be motivated again into taking a more conscientious try at conserving for the future. Ontario Hydro has been trying to impress on us that we must stop wasting electricity but just how much of that info is sinking in? On the whole Canadians use more energy than any other nation on a er-capital basis, and that is not due to the climate. Studies have shown that the Swedes are much better at conservation than we are and their weather is just as cold. It would seem that the almighty dollar is at the basis of this problem. When Canadians start to feel the crunch on their pockets books then they may sit up and do something more constructive about saving energy. Business and government bodies are now working together on saving energy. But individual Canadians have not felt the pinch and may not for some years.When they do feel it will be too late and we will all be literally out in the cold. The time to look seriously at the problem of diminishing energy supplies is now,not tomorrow or the day after. Information on energy saving is available through government agencies. With rising costs every penny counts. Can we afford to ignore this situation even with the vast, resources in our great country? The choice is up to every individual but the result will affect all of us. If we act now, we can prevent a future energy crisis! Hold onto your hats Hold onto your hats ladies and gentlemen. The show is about to begin and in the centre ring we have local candidates who are willing to work for you in the political arena. Every two years Ontarioans have a say in who is going to represent their best interests in municipal matters. In this important occasion too many residents, who have the right to vote, neglect their duties as Canadian citizens on the pretext of not having time to go to the polls. Municipal elections have loomed up and .ill of us should take an interest in who is running and what they will do if elected. Nominations do not close until October 23 and there is still time for anyone to stand for election. In local electons, with rare exceptions, there is very little interest in the contests. Too often, the same candidates are acclaimed or there are contests with pitifully low turnout of 35 per cent or less of the eligible voters. But Blyth and surrounding areas have enjoyed active voters with a turnout of over .78 per cent at the_poals. A Meet the Candidates Night is planned for October 23. For all those concerned about who to vote for and what the issues are that is a date no one should miss. Even if you aren't old enough to vote yet there is no time like the present to learn about the whole procedure of taking your responsibilities as a Canadian Citizen and practising your right to vote. Down come the baskets ;+i:. „s a 4:4 Behind the Scenes By Keith Roulston i've come to the conclusion that there's nothing funny about Monday morning. I mean every Monday morning 1 sit down in front of this battered old typewriter with my battered old brain and say to myself: this week i've got to come up with something funny, something inspiringly funny. And every week the troubles of the world creep in again and some deadly dull column on the falling dollar, the falling government or the falling Canadian morale shows up on the paper in front of me. One remedy 1 know would be shut off the radio and television and burn all the newspapers as soon as they come in the door. Let's face it with the doom and gloom that pours out of the media daily, even hourly, it's pretty hard to be light and witty. But even if the outside world didn't push it's gloomy way in there'd still be little chance of getting something humourous out of this typewriter on a Monday morning. The reason is just that: Monday morning. I'm just not a morning person. My ideal going to bed time is about 2 a.m. and my ideal waking time is about 10 a.m. i function best on that schedule. Unfortunately the world isn't set up for that schedule. There ate timetables to keep and 'in our household that means getting up at 7 a.m. to get breakfast so the youngsters can be ready to catch the bus on time. Believe nie I find nothitig funny about getting up these morningswhcn it is still dark outside. My 114iole system tells me that this is unnatural. My subconscious mind tells me that somebody must have set that alarm clock wrong 'last night or that it has become demonic possessed and is trying to terrorize us, What convinces nye that it's indeed time to get up, however, is our secondary alarm clock: our three year old. He never fails no matter how dark it is out, no matter whether electricity has been off, You never have to wind him up or check the alarm setting. He automatically wakes up a few minutes before seven every morning. And he tempts me to child beating. You know there's so much work goes on these days in high school guidance departments and such agencies to try make sure people pick the right carter. But one of the tests they overlook is one of the most important in my opinion to match the career to the kind of sleeping habits you have. Some people function better in the morning: some better at night. Trying to make a morning person work evenings is like trying toput a square peg in a round hole. The poor guy's miserable and at the same timeisn't performing at his peak efficiency. Now me, I always loved being around animals back when I was growing up on the farm. I particularly liked the cows and felt that dairy farming would be the most rewarding form of farming. There can be a real and lasting affection built up between a farmer and his cows, not one of those fleeting realationships where the idea is to stuff the animals as full of fccd in as short a time as possible so they can be shipped off to market as quickly as possible. That is to a dairy herd as a one-night stand is to a rewarding 25 year marriage. Anyway, the idea of being a farmer went by the wayside because of one big factor: economics, I just didn't see any possibility that I'd ever get enough -money to set up a farm. Normally that would be a sad story but in my case it was a blessing in disguise. Can you imagine me having to get up every day of the week, every week of the year at 4 or 5 a.m, to get out to milk the cows. If I make it out of bed (and that's a mighty big if) I'd be in such rotten humour that the first cow that swished a cold damp tail across my sleepy face would probably wind up in hamburger patties in the freezer. One of the worst summerjobs I ever had back in the days when I was a student was a construction job which called for me to be at work everymorning at 7 a.m. (Who ever invented 7 a.ni. should the sent to the salt mines of Siberia to start work at 3 a.m. every morning.) Luckily the job didn't last long. Oh not for my sake, for the sake of the people we were building barns for. I probably created enough construction faults in those buildings between 7 a.m. and my time of becoming human at about 9;30 that (Continued on Page 11)• THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 18, 1978 — 5 New store opens in Auburn With so many small village stores going out of business around the country it is a relief to see someone busy getting one started up again. Such is the case in Auburn Mere Rick Holden and his sisterlrene Churchward have opened the Auburn Groccteria. Rick and Irene have moved into the area fresh from London and are looking forward to the less hectic pace of the rural countryside, Rick worked at Scaltest Dairy in London and his sister at University Hospital. Niether has worked in a small store before but both have been planning for the day when they would have their own shop. The store was previously owned by Don McCauley and had already been renovated. The new owners are not planning any major changes but are thinking of keeping up with the times and looking to the future for new ideas, "We have never been to Auburn before and we don't know any one here" said Rick. "But we have met a lot of friendly people and are enjoying meeting everyone." "We liked London but it was growing so fast and so big" said Irene. "it was almost as bad as Toronto when it came to traffic," The new residents are not going to have a grand opening, "We are quiet folk and we opened quietly last week," Irene said. The first few weeks have been hectic. There has been a lot of organizing and ordering to do and as of yet they have not completely stocked up, Their original home was Dundee, Scotland and only fourteen years ago they came to Canada, Both grew up in the Scottish country side and appreciate the country around Auburn, . Irene knits and crochets when she has time and Rick enjoys a good game of golf. He is also a Legion member. Both arc lookingforward to gettingiiore involved in the community when they arc more settled.

Mrs. Carl Anderson and Mrs. Ross Higgins were named to arrange the Christmas meeting. Mrs. William Fenton con- ducted the . study on the Caribbean and Canada the final chapter on the subject. She said aid to the West Indies is a mixture of good intentions and confusion. The aid is given with strings attached, whether it is out - 80% must be used to buy Canadian goods and ser- vices. The strings attached leave West Indian materials, experts and plants idle. The policies of the Canadian government on aid, im- migration,t rade and tourism have made Caribbean people suspicious of a Canada primarily interested in Canadian profits. The Bible study was taken by Mrs. George Martin who dwelt on Thanksgiving. Her first reading was "Thankful Living" followed by "A Call of Thanksgiving". She said, In churches everywhere the grateful will worship before altars loaded with the fruits of abundant harvest.

Will the Auburn Com- munity Memorial hall be repaired, insulated re- novated or just let fall to pieces? That's what the members of the Hall Board wondered at the Open meeting called for last Tues- day evening, Only three interested citizens besides the members were present of the total of 11 people. (Even members of the Hall Baord were absent) James Glousher, chairman was in charge of the meeting which was opened by the minutes being adopted as read by the secretary, Mrs. iknnald Haines, Two contractors and car- penters were present and gave some estimates and told how it could be done with alternations and using large frons.

One of the businesses that my own metabolism seems suited for is my second career of theatre. Now there's a civilized time scale. You usually start rehearsals about 10 a.m. which still might be an hour too early but sure beats 7 a.m. You finish work about 10:30 or 11 p,m.- You can still take a couple of hours to relax and get to bed at the ideal bedtime of 2 a.m. Unfortuantely, however, even then one is lucky enough to be working the hours that suit hien in theatre, the rest of the world doesn't stop making its own demands on time. The kids still keep getting up at 7. The buses still conic early. The school bell still goes at nine. And people telephone at 8:30 and think you're the laziest slob in the country if you're still in bed. It ends up that you burn the candle from both ends, working late and getting up early. It's the worst of Mil worlds and you get jumpy and grumpy. So if you think the world looks dull and serious through this column, blame it on that blakncty-blank alarm clock.

Penn said "prevention works", He added, "We have pro- portionately less children in our care than during 1977. Counselling families before problems become too critical is far less costly in both human and economic teams.,, Mr. Penn said, the name change in 1977 Iron] Child- ren's Aid to Family and Chicken's Services signalled the agency's committmcnt to strengthening family life in Huron County and prevent family break'.hiwn. About foster parents he said, "Foster parents work- ing with FACS social workers continue to provide excellent care to children. We continue to look for those very special families who can share their home with a child for a while." "We particularly need families willing to care for older children - ages 11 to 15 years. Perhaps you could consider this project for your family or suggest it to a friend;' If interested call our Hone -finding department", continued the Huron direct- or. The awards to the foster parents were presented by the president of the FCSA board of directors Charlie Thomas of Brussels assisted by social worker Marion Flindniarsh. The guest speaker clinical psychologist David Link stressed the importance of the honk in determining the overall behaviour of children. He continued, "Outside in- fluences are important and can he a real help, but we niustremeniber that they are not a substitute for adequate parents." He suggested children should be taught to make simple decisions for them- selves at the age of three years. They should be rewarded for doing some- thing right instead of trying to catch them doing some- thing wrong. They should become responsible at an early age and learn to accept the consequences of their own actions. Link said, "All child be- haviour is learned from day to day in a natural way without being aware of it. Remember, habits that start early die hard. Nothing fails like failure."

Speaking recently to a class of potential \wmitCI'S in a creative \\'1'itillg Course, I tried to pass along the personal satisfaction one gels fnonl this type of personal journalism. I emphasized the "personal" satisfaction, bccallSC there'S a lot more of that involved than there is of the other kind, financial satisfaction. Columnists and free-lance \\'liters have no 1111 1011 working for them, nor any professional associat1011, 115 nave doctors, lawyers, teachers. They have only their own talent and wit and perseverance with which to penetrate the thick heads and thicker skins of editors and publishers. But it's a great feeling when you vent your wrath, say, about the rapaciousness of mechanics, and you at'e button -holed six tittles in the next three days by people with horror stories about mechanics you can scarcely believe, Trouble is, they all want you to write another column about mechanics, and put some real pleat into it. This means, in effect, that they would happily stand in the wings and applaud when you were sued for libel. Some readers would like you to be constantly attacking whatever it is that they don't like, Capitalist friends are aghast when you refuse to launch an assault on capital gains taxes. Welfarist friends think you are a traitor and a fink when you won't attack the government for not providing color TV for everyone on the take. I and not by nature an attacker, and I think there is nothing more boring than a writer of any kind who tries to make a career of being a "hard-hitting" journalist. Once in a while my gently bubbling nature boils over. 'Throwing caution and syntax to the winds, I let my spleen have a field day and try to throw some sand in the grease with which many aspects of society are flying to give us a snow job. And that's one oI'the finest paragraphs I've ever written, if mixed metaphors are your bag. Fail' r;a111C for the hard -hitter are: garage mechanics, plumbers, postal workers, supermarkets, civil servants, and politicians. Most of them can't hit hark, and everybody 'lag's 111('111, except z'arage mechanics and (heir wives, plumbers and their wives, etc. Smaller Iry are doctors, lawyers, teachers, used car salesmen. They all squeal like dying rabbits when attacked, but nobody pays much attention to then( except doctors and their wives, etc. etc, There are it few areas that even the hardest -hitters avoid. When have you, lately, read a savage attack on greedy farmers, callous nurses, or unloving moth- ers? And vet, there are lots of then( around. One of these days, perhaps, one of these hard-hitting writers will muster enough guts, alter about five brandies, to launch an all ''111 attack 011 the audacity of women, ill 111 icing they're as good as I11C11. Boy, that fellow cc ill learn what real hard-hitting is all about. Personally. I can't stay mad at anybody long enough totted voice of the people. or a public' watch -dog, or any of of those obnoxious ('reatures who try to tell other people how they should feel, The only constant in my rage is the blatant 111anip1111111011 of self-seeking politicians who will twist and warp and wriggle and squirm and bribe for self -perpetuation in office. Brit example of the moment is 'Trey government in Ontario, which has called a totally unnecessary election in that province through sheer hunger for greater power. Otherwise, I get a great deal more joy from touching the individual life than inflaming the masses. When 1 get a letter from ati old lady in hospital, crippled with arthritis, who has managed to get a chuckle out of my column, it makes pie feel good. Recently, 1 got a letter from a young Scot who has immigrated to Canada. He says: "1 have learned more about Canada and Canadians through reading your column than all the accumulated wisdom from the Canadian newsmagazines, novels and TV programs I have absorbed," Now there is a man with his head screwed aright. If 1, as a newcomer, tried to get niy impressions of this country from news- magazines and TV programs, I'd catch the first boat or plane home. So, l guess I'll just try to go on talking to people, getting sore, having some fun, looking for sympathy in the war between the sexes, That's what life is all about, not plumbers and politicians and other hor'r'ors of that ilk, main part is due to manage- ment, in other words, most of these weeds can be c01111(.11ecl and they are identified, if the right herbicide is used at the proper rate and time.
