County Council,
Hullett feels
county taken
At their inauguarl meeting on Monday,
December 4, Hullett Township Council
decided to have the clerk send a letter to the
road committee of Huron County. The letter
was to point out that council felt the county
was taken in by the advice offered by a
"So-called unbiased engineer"when he
called the Youngblut Drain unfair
assessment.
The problem arose when the county felt
they had been, overassessed on the drain
and were going to appeal. They decided to
consult an engineer other than their own to
get an opinion on the drain. A report from
the county engineer indicated that the costs
of' appealing the assessment were going to
offset any benefit from a new report. Council
also felt that some of the remarks made in
the report of the second engineer were not
worth $25.
Council also instructed the clerk to send a
letter to Keith Tyndal thanking him for his
effort in the recent canvass of Hullett
Townsip for the Clinton Arena Floor fund.
Norman Alexander was appointed to the
Maitland V alley Conservation Authority and
Joe Gibson was appointed to the Ausablc

From Me to You
THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 13, 1978 — 3
For once, we're ready for Christmas
by Rhea Hamilton
It has been a rarechristmas
around our house when every
thing is done more than a few
hours before The Day. The
tree is left until the week
before Christmas and baking
the night before with pres-
ents waiting to be wrapped
Christmas morning before
taking them to their respec-
tive homes.
This year it seems to be, so
far, reasonably organized.
The house has been
cleaned and decorated. We
have three presents already
bought and the rest just have
Walton library may close
Walton library users may find themselves
without a library if alternative accommo-
dations can't be found in the village.
Huron County librarian Bill Partridge
warned recently that the communities of
Walton, Dashwood, Crediton and Dun-
gannon could lose their libraries if better
accommodations can't be found,
The Walton library, now housed in a tiny
building about 70 years old, is open for five
hours a week.
Mr. Partridge said the building "has no
heat and very poor lighting."
"It looks like something you'd see in the
wild west," he added,
Sheila MacPherson, the Walton librarian,
said the problem is the building isn't
insulated so heating the library is difficult.
Both Walton storeowners have indicated
they aren't interested in housing the library
and the owner of another vacant store in the
village also wasn't interested in renting
space to the library board.
Another alternative location for the
Walton library might be in the village
community centre, and Mr, Partridge plans
to investigate this possibility.
Mr. Partridge said 1,074 books circulated
from the library from January to the end of
October, an increase from the 1977
circulation figures.
Mrs. MacPherson said a number of the
library users are older folks and "they can
scoot scross the road to get a book - it's
handy for them."
If the Walton library were closed, village
residents would have to rely on library
facilities in Blyth, Brussels or Seaforth.
Tom Miller, deputy reeve of Morris
Township and a member of the Huron
County Library Board, said the old library in
Walton is probably not worth repairing and
that the township is looking into other
possiblities.
Walton UCW has Xmas meeting
The general Christmas
Meeting of the U.C.W.
included a pot luck supper
when 34 sal down to tables
decorated for Christmas by
the McKillop unit the 8th and
16th unit were responsible
for the decorating of the
Sunday School.
The devotions in charge of
the 8 and 16th unit were led
by Mrs. Rae ' Houston.
Christmas scriptures were
read alternative by Mrs, R.
Houston and Mrs, Don
McDonald. Hymn, "Angels
from the realms of Glory"
was sung, with Mrs. Lavern
Godkin as pianist. Mrs. D.
McDonald led in prayer.
Taking part in readings
were Mrs. Don McDonald;
Mrs, G. McCall; Mrs. Don
Fraser; Mrs. Alvin
Sunshine
club has
pot luck
About sixty-five members
of the Sunshine Tours Travel
Club met for a pot luck
supper.in the Blyth Memorial
Hall on Friday, Dec. 8. Mrs,
Viola Haines, hostess of the
club was on hand to welcome
the guests and requested
Rev. Good to ask the bles-
sing. After a sumptuous
meal, Robt. Sherwood, bus
driver thanked everyone and
had a short question and
answer period.
Mrs. Cecil Wittich con-
ducted a lively sing song of
Christmas carols and rend-
ered two beautiful solos as
well. Mrs. McDougall of
Blyth accompanied her on the
piano.
Rev. Wayne Good of Blyth
took the members on a
"Magic Carpet" tour of
Canada and the United
States by means of many
beautiful slides taken on
his travels and accomp-
anied it by a very interesting
commentary. This was
thoroughly enjoyed by every-
one.
There is one more tour this
year to Simcoe, to see the
Christmas Lights on Dec. 15
and still some space avail-
able. Please contact Mrs.
Haines at 523-9240 for
information.

to be picked up. With Chris-
tmas falling on a Monday
there will be two whole days
before to get presents wrap-
ped and maybe some goodies
baked.
This complete change
around is due to a small club
we are membersof, And it's
not organizers anonymous.
It's a gourmet club. It's
limited to eight members and
once a month we get together
to enjoy a special meal which
every member contriubtes.
There are no problems in
trying to get the whole meal
organized. Everyone helps.
The key to my problem of
late planning seems to stem
from having volunteered our
home for the December meet
ing. With Christmas so near
it was evident that the house
had to be decorated for the
occasion. It seems I can only
get things done when the
pressure is great and there
are no minutes left for fur-
ther planning. In my own
mind 1 knew I would work
like the Devil to get every-
thing ready for this meal and
win in the long run by having
the house all ready for Christ
mas weeks before.
It worked. Everything got
done and the meal was
delicious thanks to the other
members.
This gourmet club allows
us all to get out once a month,
for a good meal and meet
with entertaining friends.
The menu is planned several
weeks in advance and every
dish complements the others
The really successful part
is the money end. Costs are
totalled for themeal and
shared equally among the
four couples.
There were some
grumblings among some
about the wine selection.
Due to the increases in
foreign wines we decided to
limit our choices of wines to
Canadian only. And we have
been surprised. There are
quite a few good Canadian
wines on the market and if
you look carefully you can
easily enjoy wine with a
festive meal for under $3,
A club is easy to get
togehter. Just make sure
everyone is game to try new
foods and enjoys taking chal-
lenges in the kitchen. For the
first- club 1 tackled Petite
Fours. Little cakes with
layers and layers of icing and
jam, carefully decorated.
Well, five nights later and
many little cakes into the
icing the little devils were
done. To this day 1 swear I'll
never make them again, but
that doesn't mean I regret
doing them. On the contrary.
I know now what 1 and
missing.
We have found the ritual
of gourmet eating begins at 7
and by the time you finish
with after dinner coffees and
liquers, the evening closes at
about midnight. Now this
should not be regarded as
a gorging session. There is
only enough cooked to allow
a sample before the main
meal and because of the
sampling there is no need for
great walloping servings at
the table. The portions are
smaller than normal.
You generally leave with a
satisfied not bloated feeling.
Another benefit to this kind
of club, is that now you
have a need for all those
gadgets that you have
received in the past. Radish
rose cutters, curved knives,
fancy dishes, clay bakers,
you name it and I am sure
that you will find a use and a
recipe for it.
Another side is dieting.
Now you laugh but if you
know that y ou are going to
be taking in a horrible
amount of calories on a
certain day in the month
you can prepare for it. I
generally cut down my
intake or like last time, 1 ate
cottage cheese and milk
for breadfast and skipped
lunch and ate a regluar
supper. The gourmet meals
have not swayed nay counting
on the scales. Yet .
Enough about food at our
house, how about yours? We
at the Standard are still open
for contributions as to what
makes Christmas special in
your house. Recipes, poems
or pictures would all be
appreciated, Remember the
deadline is Monday Dec-
ember 18. Hurry that's -
only a few day away.

Shop here first
The festive time is upon us again and with it comes the wild
purchasing of gifts and surprises for our families and friends.
It is also at this time of the year that merchants in small areas have a
chance to make up for the slow periods in the past year and come out in
the black.
Shoppers can be a fickle lot and often prove to be hard characters
when their pocket books are pressured. Many people shop locally in
order to keep the shops here for their conveniences. Then there are
others who head for the larger cities in order to be swamped by the
glitter and glamour of the bigger stores. In many cases after a hard day
of hoofing it around those long malls and huge stores, buyers come
home empty handed and discouraged. The next day the same item
they discover could have been located in their own local stores.
The moral of the tale is to check the home front first before heading
out of town. Local merchants will be more than helpful in trying to
sastisfy you. Aren't they always the first to give you to your favourite
teams and charities?
The village that shops together grows together.
Congratulations to 4-H
The 4-H organizations in Huron County will soon have finished
another year of activities. Often there is really not enough credit given
to young people who give so many of their hours to 4-H.
Have you ever wondered just why? There is no money to be made
and there is a lot of book work in some clubs and many of the members
have enough to do with their school books. The real benefit is
satisfaction and learning some things that aren't touched on in school.
The members and their leaders who join 4-H clubs should be patted
on backs for a fine job well done.
At the Achievement Day exercises Monday evening in Auburn, over
50 young ladies and 16 leaders plus parents attended. The girls clubs
were based around Canada's Food Guide. All members learned what is
essential for good health. In this time of high inflation it is reassuring
that someone is learning to put out a nutritious meal on a budget.
But homemaking skills are not the only subjects these young people
learn. There are also the farm clubs where members learn about
swine, dairy, calf and sheep operations.
These youths too take exams on their knowledge which if they stay
on in the agricultural community will prove invaluable.
The 4-H organization is supported by the Ministry of Agriculture
and Food as well as Women's Institute and other organizations.
At this busy festive time of year these young people have devoted
extra time to finish their clubs and partake of the satisfying feeling of
having done something well for themselves.
Congratulations kids, and leaders.

Behind the Scenes

Our liquor laws
Nothing is surer to get one into an
argument (with the possible exception of
book banning) than the pros and cons of
relaxed liquor laws in Ontario.
The CTV program W5 last week had a
startling show on the liquor trade,
particularly dealing with the use of topless
waitresses and bottomless dances to
stimulate consumption of alcohol and beat
the competition in what thas become a
huge increase in the number of licensed
establishments in the province.
That, together with my reading recently
of A Clearing in the West by Nellie McClug
and her arguments against liquor tended to
make me focus my own toughts on the
whole situation recently. As ususal it
brought more questions than answers. Oh
there are those who have all the answers to
the liquor question but I think they're
pretty short sighted in their solutions
whether they be advocating outright
banning or throwing the doors open even
wider.
There's little of a temperance movement
background in my family for that matter, a
record of consumption that would gladden
the heart of a government agent collecting
liquor taxes. Wine and the odd bottle of
something stronger come into our house-
hold and I see no reason to st op them. 13ut
I must confess, unfashionable as it niay he,
that the growing prominence of booze in
our society causes me some concern.
What brothers me is that drink is
supposed to be something one docs as part
of enjoyment of something else, not as an
end in itself. Bars are included in places of
entertainment to add to the pleasure, just
one more little convenience. But now it
seems to more and more be becoming a
case of the tail wagging the dog. The bar is
becoming more important than anything
else.
When 'Theatre London decided to rebuild
the old Grand Theatre a survey was done of
patrons to see what they wanted in the new
building. The answers were oberwhelming
in two areas. Patrons wanted comfortable
scats and a bar. If you go to a fashionable
restaurant the food may seem expensive
but the chances are that the thing that's
really keeping the place in business is your
tab at the bar.
Most musicians these days earn their
living -by working in bars, being the carrot
that draws people into the barroom so they
can drink, The drinks are what pays the
musicians. Even then bar owners are
switching more and more either to discos
or to topless waitresses and exotic dancers,
partly because they are cheaper but also
partly because people tend to drink more
while watching parts of the female
anatomy bob about.
We'vegot a lot of expensive new arenas
and community metres around these days
that are paying their bills by the revenue
turned in by the bar.
It seems impossible these days to do
anything without there being alcohol
included. Theres even been a big outcry
because they can't serve booze at baseball
game in Toronto, making the city the only
one in the major leagues without beer solei
in the stadium.
And the only theatres in Canada that
make money are those performing cabaret:
where the audience is willing to pay
cnought by buying drinks to pay the cost of
production. If they were asked right out to
pay enough in the price of admission to pay
the full costs of the show they'd probably
say no, but they're quite willing to pay less
to get in then spend enough on drinks to
make the show profitable.
And then or course there's our govern-
ment, the biggest bcnieficiary of all (next
to the liquor companies) from our new
penchant for booze, booze and more booze.
In a time of declining revenues those liquor
taxes look pretty good to governments.
But what's the answer? i don't know,
Nellie McClung and her temperance
reformers thought that banning the pro-
duction and sale of alcohol could solve the
problem but we know now, after the
prohibition debacle that that won't work. i
recall even as a youngster going to local
dances before the days of bars at dances
and seeing drunken brawls far worse than
anything we have today. The men would
disappear from the dance to "have a quick
one" out at the car. Unfortunately that's
exactly what it was: too quick leading to
easy drunkeness and plenty of unpleasant-
ness.
I remember too the days when alcohol
wasn't as easy to to get as it is today when
there used to be bootleggers in every
corner of the township. Ob •viously just
making it hard to get didn't make people
drink less, it just added a criminal element
to the procuring of drink.
Obviously the only real answer is
convincing individuals to drink less or not
at all. Let's face it, booze is really a pretty
unnecessary part of our lives, It's also a
pretty expensive unnecessary part or our
lives. We'll scream about the high cost of
food but still drive down the Brewers
Retail and load up the trunk every Friday
night.
Sure we could get along without it and be
better off for it financially, mentally and
bodily. Trying to get people to make the
big decision, however, is far easier said
than done.
Huron Federation hears about
BY ALICE GIBB
Tony .McQuail, Lucknow
area farmer and the former
co-ordinator of Huron
County's Energy Conser-
vation Centres, told mein-
bers of the Huron Federation
of Agriculture that as crude
oil goes up in price, farmers'
input costs also increase,
The problem, Mr, McQuail
said, is that "we in the
farming industry can't pass
THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 13, 1978 — 5
•
Renewable energy on the farm
on these price increases to
the consumers as quickly."
Mr. McQuail spoke to
federation members on
Thursday night at their
monthly meeting held in the
Clinton OMAF office,
IN examining some of the
energy conservation prac-
tices and renewable energy
optins for the farm, Mr
McQuail pointed out farmers
as well as the general

SNOW REMOVAL
NOTICE
It is illegal to park any motor
vehicle on the Village of Blyth Streets
during snow removal operations. Any
vehicle obstructing snow removal will
be towed away at owner's expense
It is also illegal to push snow
onto the travelled portion of the road
at any time.
Reeve Don Noble
Village of Blyth
population, have become
heavily dependent on non-
renewable sources of energy,
Ile said farmers could face
a situation where oil supplies
are exhausted, and "we're in
a crunch situation," He said
this situation could be three
years from now or it might
not be for 25 years,
SUN
He pointed out farmers
once depended on the sun,
their own labor, and organic
fertilizer to produce crops,
He said "More energy was
produced from the crops than
labor was put into the system
by the farmer."
Today, however, farmers
depend on non-renewable
resources to provide fuel for
their farm machinery, and
petro -chemical derivatives
are used in both fertilizer and
pesticides.
Mr. McQuail said farmers
should look at their own
personal system of energy
use on the farm and then
examine "what options are
open to us."
Finally, he said, "Farmers
should evaluate how you can
get from where you are today
to where you'd like to be
down the line."
Mr. McQuail said agri-
culture is presently in a very
vulnerable position with its'
dependence on crude oil
energy resources.
He suggested some ways
farmers can conserve energy
in their operations is to
match machinery to the work
it's required to do, to insu-
late farm buildings properly,
utilize natural ventilation and
consider using alternative
energy sources in the farm
operation.
•
•
Two such sources Mr.
McQuail suggested were
using windmills to pump
water and using wood -heated
boilers to provide heat, using
wood from the farm woodlot.
EXHAUSTING
He said as the danger of
exhausting non-renewable
energy resources comes
nearer, scientists and others
are becoming more practical
in their experiments with
alternative forms of energy.
He said experiments are
being carried out to fuel
tractors with alcohol from
crop residues and others are
experimenting with methane
gases produced from
manure.
Mr, McQuail said it's time
to try to interconnect systems
on the farm again, For
example, an operation which
requires heat can passively
collect solar heat from the
sun on sunny days. This can
be backed up with a wood -
fired boiler system to supple-
ment the sun's heat or fuel
oil can be burned in a
generator rather than a
boiler to produce electricity.
Mr. McQuail said if
enough electricity could be
produced, it could be sold to
Ontario Hydro.
The secret of conserving
energy, Mr, McQuail said,
"is to try and make use of
waste from any one system
as an input in another
system,"
Following Mr. McQuail's
speech, audience members
discussed whether methane
gas could be produced in
septic tank systems and how
to use generators in a home
heating system.
APPROVAL
One member, expressing,
approval of the idea of selling
excess electricity said, '' It
would be nice to receivq a
cheque from Ontario Hydro
every month instead of a
bill."
In other business, tleder-
ation members approveu a,
resolution submitted by the
Grey Township Federation of
Agriculture.
The resolution asked that
Farm and Country be asked
to publish the Chicago live
hog futures in their paper,
since daily papers have
stopped carrying the reports.

Winter driving. For drivers this is
the most dangerous season. Con-
ditions change without warning.
The dry road you're on now can

ice patches, frost, sudden snow

unexpected hazards. But during
the Holiday Season these hazards
tend to increase.
Poor visibility combined with
heavy traffic throughout the
Holiday Season means you must
be in good condition to drive

your car. So keep it in good repair.
And keep yourself alert at all
times. If you drink, don't drive.
And always watch out for the

God has nerve, unbeliev-

Son into a world, which did
not want him, For this world,
the creation, the cosmos,
which God so loved that he
gave his only Son to be the
light of the world, is God's
mighty work, and he will not

From the minister's study
slyly attempts to hide the
light 'of Christ's birth with
all sorts of customs and
traditions, pushing the cele-
bration of Christmas, while
minimizing Christ.
This world mouths of the

it happened to a family,
overcome by the super-

their youngest son was bitten

years they had assumed their

called Christmas was always
high on the annual calendar,
But now, with their son
dying, beyond medical help,
they had to turn to God. In
doing so, they called a lovng
elder of, the church, and
asked him to pray in their

Christ born in Bethlehem,
and all who focus their eyes
in him, as he is revealed in
the Bible, live.
Now, when the super-
ficiality of Christmas strikes
again, the Church needs
snakes, poisonous snakes,
like the people of Israel, to
keep all eyes focussed on the
Christ. Thus will the celebra-
tion of Christmas be the
worship of Christ, and that
all who look upon him may
live to show what brother-
hood among men and peace
on earth is about.
Here is how that loving
elder concluded the prayer:
'God, send more snakes to
bite this boy's brothers and

To encourage them further a

1 hate weddings
Not many of you readers have attended
one of the neatly wedding ceremonies of
Elizabeth Taylor, right? You and I don't
exactly travel \yith that jet set crowd. right?
Well, you're wrong. I recently attended
one of the marriages of Elizabeth Taylor,
And I didn't crash it: I was invited. And I
hope it's the only one she ever has. It was
her first.
NO, no. Not that fat, beautiful, silly
Elizabeth Taylor, the movie star. who has
by now pledged to love. honor and obey.
in sickness and in health, until death do
them part, aborti six or seven gtlyS.
I mean, the real Elizabeth Taylor. Liz,
the kid who was a close buddy of n1y,
daughter Kim from about Grade 5 on.
whorl I taught in Grade 10 and Grade 12,
who became somewhat 0l' a second
daughter to us when her mother died, who
dropped in to the Snlilcys' every vacation
home from college to regale us with her
ups and downs.
She's now a young Phys. I:(I. teacher,
and a (tarn good one. I daresay, because
she's always been a good athlete. and has
had a way with kids since her camp
counsellordays. She's also now a young
bride. and I take this opportunity of
wishing her a happy married life. I could
scarcely get near enough al the wedding to
say it. so many guys wanted to kiss her.
Usually. I hate weddings, and avoid
them whenever possible. But I enjoyed this
one. The church service ecus a mixture or
traditional \nglie;tn and wringing modern
ith a mod choir play ing guitars and
belting out the Word in dost harmony.
My old lady and I were so moved that we
actually weal up and look communion for
the first time in years. Even more unusual,
my ,daughter .joined us.

seemed to be many.
It must have cost her old elan a small
fortune. But it was worth 11. Ire's two

13ut you must wonder why I hate
weddings. Most men do. Why? Mainly
because of the women involved. .\nd I

or the bride's mother or aunts., I mean
one's own woolen -folk.
As long as two months before the
wedding, they start panicking. They have a
feeling that they will he the cynosure of all
eyes, even though they know in their
hearts that all eyes will be on the bride.
There are infinitely lengthy and ineffably
boring talks about what to wear to the
wedding. Sensible woolen will drag out
that long gown they )yore to the Christmas
dance last year and wear it. But I don't
have any o1' those. Not long gowns.
Sensible women.
It must he something new and striking.
This results in one of two things: ever
more agitated shopping exctll'Slolls as. the
big day nears: or, if your wife sews, as
aline does, ever more frantic searching for
material, sewing and ripping, teal's and
anger and frustration and, finally, triumph,

merely going to wear his good suit and
shine his shoes, is expected to rapturize
over the "creation." By the hour.
I swear my wife was working on the
final touch, a \dilte hat that looks like a
longshoreman's cap. until two hours
before we took oil' for t11c wedding.
This time it \kw, more complicated. She
also had to improvir.c an out fit for daughter

UCW hears about Amnesty's work
Jeanne Moffat of
Waterloo, the guest speaker
at the recent Huron -Perth
Presbyterial meeting of the
United Church Women, told
the women there are over l0n
countries in the world where
people are imprisoned and
tortuned for their beliefs,
Mrs. Moffat was speaking
on the work of Amnesty
International, an
international organizatit►n
which is concerned with
human rights and the fate of
•ppople imprisoned for
;#01itical or religious reasons.
Mrs. Moffat told her
•1udience the organization,
founded in 1961, now has
thousands of members in 109
countries, 35 of which have
national organizations of
Amnesty International.
She said the organization
handles about 7,000 cases a
year of poeple called
"prisoners of conscience."
The speaker said the one
prerequisite for membership
in the organization is "A
burning conviction that there
are rights that all of us
should enjoy."
"Your specific interest in
the area of' human rights and
the tvork of Amnesty Alto
national arises, ' suspec
of the nii,s uu " i uu
emphasis on human rights
this year within the United
Clinch," she said. "I would
also suspect that a majority
of have, until now, not given
much thought to the issue --
largely (Inc to the fact that
yon have felt your human
rights have not been
violated. It's a "distant"
problem that pushes itself
into our consciousness in a
newspaper headline or TV
'icwscast -- only to he for-
gotten vhcn the article is
read or the newscast is
aver,"
Mrs. Moffat said, "With
t hese l 1 of reactions, We
.an shrug off any re-
' ponsihilit'. involvement. I
:rust you will realize, how-
ever, th.li as committed
Christians, these reactions
are inconsistent with the
command to be obedient, the
command t0 love that is
ours."
Amnesty International is
an independent organization
which is not associated with
any government, poltical
party or religious creed. The
group does have consultative
status with the United
•\nitons, the Council of
:nrope and observer status
pith the Organization of
\frican Unity.
In 1977, Amnesty Inter-
.ational was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize for its
work in freeing prisoner's of
conscience and campaigning
for the abolition of torture.
May you enjoy every
ininttte 4a
Niel -1y Christmas and
share its good times
witlh those dear to you.
Thanks all.
In a prisoner of conscience
campaign, a group is en-
couraged to adopt a prisoner
and then start a letter writing
campaign to try and oiit,riu•
the prisoner's release.
Mrs, Moffat told the
women abut the case she is
working on.
"I am involved in working
on the case of Mohamed
Znagui. The petition that was
signed by a number at the
meeting will be hand -
delivered by the Vice Pre-
sident of the Canada Section
of Amnesty International to
the Moroccan Embassy in
the near future. A copy of the
petitions will go to Don
Jamieson, our own External
Affairs Minister, who
already has raised the case
with our Ambassador in
Morocco and has asked the
Embassy there to bring the
matter up with Moroccan
ofticials," she said,
Mrs. Moffat told the
women they can join
Amnesty International,
receive the organization's
monthly bulletin and take
part in the world wide letter
campaign on behalf of
prisoners of conscience and
victims of torture.
Also, the group's work can
be supported by donations,
which assist in research and
relief to the families of
people imprisoned for their
beliefs,
She told members they
could help by signing her
petition for the release of
Mohamed Znagui, or by
forming an Amnesty inter-
national group in their
community.
Mrs. Moffat also recom-
mended questioning
Canadian aid to countries
where gross violations of
human rights arc common,
She said, "All of our
disgust and dismay can
really be turned into a
creative compassionate force
in this world if we join our
voices with those who often
risk far more than we in the
struggle for a fuller human.
life."
In closing her talk on the
organization's work, Mrs,
Moffatt read this letter from
one prisoner of conscience.
"Your letter showed by
comrades and myself that we
were not alone and isolated
in our misfortune; on the
contrary, there arc people
who, in spite of the distance
and certain other
circumstances that separate

County staff gets
wage increasefor 79
Catch up wage increases given Huron
County supervisory staff at Thursday's
county council session resulted its pay
increases for the 10 county department
heads ranging from 1.5 percent to 15.2
percent,
in a report to county council from the
special committee given the task of
negotiating wage packages for the county
administrators council was given a salary
schedule to be followed for the next three
years that is designed to give senior
administration wages comparable to neigh-
boring counties.
Warden Gerry Ginn, chairman of the
special committee, told council that the
committee "believed" the county must
"keep up to date if it was interested in good
young people" and to keep up to date it must
"pay decentlyk". He said 1-!uron County
supervisory staff had been victimized by
Anti Inflation Board guidelines and had
fallen behind in wages during the three year
tenure of AIB. Ginn said the committee had
checked into wages paid comparable staff in
neighboring counties and had attempted to
bring Huron County staff up to parity with
those counties. He explained that in some
cases the increases needed to bring some
staff t0 parity were too great t0 be given at
once and the committee had drawn up salary
schedules designed to spread the increase
over one, two or three years.
The average increase was about seven
percent but some staff were given more than
twice the average and some nowhere near
the average. The county development
officer, Spence Cummings, was awarded a
1.5 percent increase while C.A,Archibald,
administrator of Huronvicw, was given a
15.2 percent hike. Ginn explained that
Archibald's incrcasc was given because the
administrator is one year away from
retirement and would not be working for the
county long enough to have his increase
spread over a number of years. He added
that the committee decided not to award the
development officer an increase because it
was not certain the county needed the
position and wanted to review the work of
the development officer before deciding on a
future wage.
Ginn said he understood that the
development officer had worked hard on the
international Plowing Match held in Huron
County this sununet' but pointed out that
such an event will not happen again here for
another ten years, He said the committee
wanted the development office looked at to
"justify its existence". The tvarden told
council that Huron County is one of three
counties in the pt'ovi11CC with a development
office pointing out that it was very difficult to
find a comparison wage. He said the
committee just wanted to find out if the
county really wanted the office kept
operating.
Morris township reeve Bill Elston did not
buy the committee's reasoning and told Ginn
that there may not be another International
in Huron for ten years but there would be
other things going on. Elston said he had
worked with Cuninlings on the plowing
match and felt that the development officer
did a "tremendous amount" for Huron
County. He said Cumnlin'gs had "brought a
lot of dollars" to Huron and that he felt the
job was necessary. i -Ie added that what the
county paid Cummings was another thing
altogether.
Bill Morley, reeve of Usborne 'Township,
did not like the reasoning used by the
committee. He said that despite the need to
review the job done by the development
officer the committee had "jeopardized" the
'Alb by giving Cummings only a one percent
increase. He said the elan still worked for
Huron County and deserved the sank as
other employees. He said the committee
can't justify giving one employee 15 percent
and another one percent suggesting that the
increase could have been awarded
comparable to other staff and then the job
reviewed,
"He's still a working Ulan in this County
and this treatment is very 11nfail' as long as
he is an employee of this county," said
Morley.
John Flannery, reeve of Seaforth, told
council he felt the increases given super-
visory staff were hypocritical, He said last
May council began negotiating with unions
and were telling people the idea was to stay
around four to fix percent increases. He said
that this wage package given supervisory
stall' was "not telling people the price of
beef was going down",
Ginn explained to council that the AIB
guidelines had been imposed between the
time the county settled with union staff and
supervisory staff. He said three years ago,
just prior to AIB, union staff was given a
healthy increase (about 35 percent) and
before negotiations with administration
could be handled the MB took over. Similar
increases for administration was impossible
and for three years those increases had been
withheld. He said it was now time to catch
Up.
The ten department heads with their
salary reviewed were put on a five level
salary grid designed to put.thenl at the top of
their level some time in the next three years.
Increases varied widely according to what
the committee felt it would cost the county to
replace the person doing that job if that
person left.
Clerk treasurer and admistrator Bill Hanly
is now making $27,222 and on January 1 will
receive an 8.6 percent raise taking him to

held on Tuesday afternoon,
December 5th in the Office of

The Clerk was directed to
compose a form of payroll
statement for the road
employees, and to use the
municipality's copying
equipment for reproduction.
After discussion on the
Dungannon Drian and an
unused catch basin sitting on
the roadside in Dungannon
council decided that the
catch basin in question is not
Township property, and
therefore not the re-
sponsibility of the
Municipality.
Council members were
appointed to sit on the
various boards and
committees in which the
Township is involved. They
are: Arena Board • .l. D.

and Jos. Hickey; Blyth

and Jas. Aitchison. Harold
Errington was appointed for
a further two-year term to
the Maitland Valley Con-
servation Authority.
Council decided that the
regular Council meeting day
would be the first Tuesday of
each month, with afternoon
meetings for the months of
November to April inclusive,
and evening meetings for
May to October inclusive.
This schedule, however, is to
remain flexible to meet un-
expected circumstances.
Council granted approval
to the severance application
of Wn1. MacPherson for a
part of Lot 20, Concession

lors Hickey and Aitchison.
carried.
Building permits were
granted to Larry Pentland
(addition to barn) and Harold
Gaunt (addition to barn).
Council discussed the
number of municipal electors
according to the 1978 revised
List of Electors, and the fact
that the Township is now
eligible to elect a Deputy -
Reeve. The Clerk was
directed to contact the
Municipality's solicitor to
determine if it would be
possible to have a Deputy -
Reeve elected or appointed
to Council now, and the
procedure to be followed,
The Road Superintendent
was given approval to make
arrangements with Rav
Stanley regarding the rent of
his truck for sanding for the
1978.79 winter.
The Reeve agreed to con

Report from Queen's Park
Tax breaks
BY MURRAY GAUNT
Ontario Treasurer Frank
Miller said this week that he
strongly favours a report
calling for massive grants
and tax breaks to entice pulp
and paper companies to
modernize their mills and
live up to pollution control
orders often ignored in the
past.
The report recommends
giving out more than $100
million in public money over
five years to the industry,
which is said is unable to
compete with U.S.
companies except when the
Canadian dollar is at a low
level, as it is now.
The Treasurer this week
told the Legislature that
unemployment in the
Province rose marginally
from 6.1% to 6.6% of the
labour force between
October and November,
Latest unemployment figures
show an overall increase,
bringing the total un-
employed to 312,000. This is
despite the fact that Ontario
was the only province to
increase its work force
during the period in
question. The Treasurer des-
cribed the rise in the number
of unemployed as "regret-
table", but entirely due to
the increase in work force.
Some 154,000 new jobs were
created in Ontario between
Novmber 1977 and last
month, but due to the large
number of people entering
the work force, the seasonal-
ly adjusted unemployed rate
is now at 7.3%, up .3% over
the previous month. The
Treasurer said he expected
to sign an agreement with
Ottawa in the near future,
which would cover heavily hit
areas of Eastern Ontario, and
he promised a "complete
package" of job creation
measurers to combat un-
employment.
Beginning in January,
single elderly people in this
Province who receive
guaranteed income supple-
ments will get $20 more a
month. The Minister of Re-
venue also told the
Legislature that elderly mar-
ried couples who receive the
supplement will receive $10
extra a month.
The increase in the
guaranteed income level en-
sures that Ontario residents
who arc 65 or older will
benefit fully from recently
announced federal pay-
ments. With effect January
1st, the guaranteed income
level will be $343 a month for
single people, and $666 a
month for married couples, if
both spouses qualify for the
guaranteed income supple-
ment. These increases will
affect about 244,000 elderly
residents of Ontario. Some
2,500 additional senior
citizens who do not qualify
for the federal pension and
supplement will receive a
monthly increase equivalent
to the federal increase, The
Minister said this will cost
Ontario about $600,000 a
year.
Liberal Leader Stuart
Smith has stated that the
fluctuating foreign exchange
rate could cost Ontario Hydro
customers an unexpected $1
billion for money borrowed
OFA members support
Hannam at convention
By Adrian Vos
In a rare display of angry
emotion, 450 Ontario farmers
got to their feet in support of
Peter Hannam, the OFA
.president when a news-
paper article was read that
said that Mr. Hannam's
neighbours want him to shut
down his corn dryer because
they object to the noise of the
drying fans. Mr. Hannam
emphatically declared that
he was not going to let a
Niagara said that urbanites
who moved into his area have
effectively stopped viable
hog operations. The Fort Erie
area can only accomodate
operations of a maximum 50
hogs. Mr. Yungblut said that
no one can make a living
feeding 100 hogs, but
politicians don't seem to
know or care.
Earlier, a resolution from
Durham Region also dealt
with the problem by asking
legal protection from rural
residents so they woudln't
have the right to "obstruct
farmers pursuing their
normal operations".
abroad. He indicated that
Hydro has been forced to j
borrow in foreign markets
because available provincial
pension funds have been
used up to pay for years of
provincial deficits. Dr, Smith
cited figures contained in
Hydro's November 15 pro-
spectus, which show that the
corporation owes $617 mil-
lion to the end of June on its
foreign bonds and notes be-
cause of the lower value of
the Canadian dollar. Trans-
lated at the September 30th
exchange rate (84.43 cents
U.S.) the liability would have
been increased by $315 mil -
ion, for a total of $932
million, At June 30th, Hydro
had $9,7 billion in out-
standing
bonds
and
notes.

A contemporary novel, it
deals with the lives of our
people in the conflict -ridden
situation of Quebec in the

mockery of the hope of
people.

Monday night at the 4-H Achievement exercises
in AuburnThe members held their Achievement
Day skits and presentations in the evening as
part of their new format.
UCW has meeting
at the manse
One treat that the U.C.W.
looks forward to each year is
the hospitality and Christmas
atmosphere that is offered at
the manse where December
meetings are held. This year,
• on the afternoon of Dec. 11,
26 members attended. With
Mrs. McDougall at the
piano, there was a short
period of Carol singing. The
opening lines of the call to
worship read by Rena Watt
were: "There's a song in the
air. There's a yearning in our
hearts. If we will only listen
to it. The advent season is
here, and Christmas is
coming."
Rena Watt who read
scripture was joined by Mary
Wightman in devotions on
"Thoughts on Advent"
which concluded with prayer
offered by Mary Wightman.
Other treats during the
meeting were the beautiful
solo rendition of "I wonder
as I wander" by Sharon
Wittich and Winona
McDougall's piano selection,
Star of the East during the
offering.
President Evelyn Smith,
before conducting the
business, paid tribute to the
Savour by reading a
paragraph: Jesus did not
have a fancily; he did not own
a home; he did not go to
college; he had no
credentials but himself.
Nevertheless, for over 19
centuries, he has been the
central figure of the human
race,
The card report showed
that among messages
despatched 57 were "Get
well" ones. Ferne
McDowell, after reading the
minutes of the last meeting,
gave a resume of the five
1978 meetings.
Reports on all phases of
U.C.W. work during 1978
were given by; Grace Easom,
Isobel Fox, June Peck, Mary
Wightman, Evalena
Webster, Mary Lou Stewart,
Ruby Pattison Luella
McGowan and Mary Ca. nip.
Joanne McDonald
presented a favourable
financial report. It was
decided to increase in 1978
the amount to Missions and
Service. Jean Griffiths ex-
pressed appreciation to
Joanne for her excellent
work, and as she is resigning
as treasurer after eleven,
years of service, she was
presented with a gift - a slow
cooker.
One 1979 appointment was
made: Mary Campbell to the
Property and Manse commit-
tee
Ruby Pattison and Evelyn
Smith assisted the hostess in
serving refreshments which
smacked of Christmas,
Sharon Wittich graciously
replied to Evelyn Smith's
expression of thanks on
behald of the U.C.W. for her
hospitality.

It broke my heart to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
For part of me went with you
The day God called you
home,
It's lonely here without you
I miss you more each day
For life is not the same to me
Since you were called away.

25 In Memoriam
POLLARD: In loving memory
of our father and pappa
George Pollard who passed
away Dec. 13, 1975,
God looked around his gar-
den
And found an empty space
He then looked down upon
this earth,
And saw your tired face
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beaut-
iful
For He only takes the best.
He knew that you were weary
And He knew that you were
in pain,
He knew that you would
never be
Well on earth again
He saw the road was getting
rough,
And the hills were hard to
climb
So he closed your weary
eyelids
And whispered "Peace Be
Thine."

remembered by daughter
Janet, son-in-law Bill and
grandchildren. 25-50-1

20 - THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 13, 1978
Blyfh theatre -an inside view
Like many people in Huron
County I did not even realize
that the Blyth Summer Fest-
ival existed until it was well
into its second season, And I
live only three miles from the
theatre's door step, for
heaven's sake!
One might wonder how a
theatre with such a limited
range of advertising in an
already limited theatrically -
minded area could survive.
But now they have success-
fully completed their fourth
season with only an eight
thousand dollar debt breath-
ing down their necks.
A theatre, any theatre,
needs an audience; a large
audience every night to
simply break even, Only
through massive advertising
can it draw an audience that
will fill its house. Massive
advertising costs money.
The house at Blyth holds
four hundred people. A good
night is of course a full
house—four hundred. But an
average is two hundred. 1
have seen as few as forty
faithful stragglers file in that
theatre, They are exuberant
at first because they can pick
any seat they want. But they
soon feel uncomfortable
because they know that
tonight the theatre isn't
pulling in enough money to
even fill the actors' plates.
This year audiences are
looking up (critics are looking
down). 1 don't believe it ever
hit below ninety. This may
sound good for a small
village like Blyth, but if you
knew that one EGG light
bulb in one Farnell cost
thirty-six dollars and you
stop to think that it takes
nearly twelve people from
the audic Ice to pay for that
one light bulb ... then you
know it is all sweat and debt.
This season 1 held the
position of "techie" or P.A.
(production assistant). The
glamour of the stage burns
low at `he stroke of one
in the morning; or
doing the same scene change
in the same dark blackness
for the fifteenth time. Still
you wring your hands; you
read and re -read your stage
notes; panic stricken lest you

have forgotten something
vital that would throw an
actor or change the entire
plot of the thing.
The twelve and fifteen
hour days are broken only by
lunch breaks which may not
arrive until midnight—if they
indeed arrive. And then
there are the eighteen and
twenty and even twenty-two
hour days; fondly known as
'all !lighters', Those days can
mean only one thing: a
deadline—the approach of a
new opening night. Food and
baths and other such menial
tasks are pushed aside; they
are thieves of time, Now only
the ticking , of the clock
matters.
When the deadline has
been met, and you are too
tired to watch the grand
opening, you know it does
not natter. You know the
show will go on without you.
The audience and the
actors are enthralled in the
magic of the stage; as well
they should be. They truly
believe the costumes and set
appeared mystically and
instantly before them. This
attitude, though naive as it
may be, allows the techies to
sigh a breath of relief, for
only then do they know they
have successfully accom-
plished their task, The show
begins. The "techies" are
long forgotten, asleep in
their beds, They do not even
exist. Marni Walsh

Santa, gift bringers are awaited everywhere
The whole history of
Santa Claus and other en-
chanting gift -bringers is one
of unusual and changing
variety, adding to the myth
and magic of Christmas.
Santa Claus himself is
thought to be a fusion of
Saint Nicholas and an an-
cient Yule God, The Saint
was a 4th Century Bishop of
Myra, a town in Asia
Minor. Patron of' sailors,
bankers, and maidens,
legend states that Nicholas
saved the three daughters of
an impoverished father from
a life of probable prostitu-
tion by providing them with
gold dowries. Hence, his
association with gift -giving.
Good Saint Nicholas was
not only well-wishing. He,

the Christmas gift bringer,

The true Christmas
Smiling Santas, brightly decorated trees and gay parcels are all
signs that Christmas is upon us once again. But with all the glitter and
glamour we wonder if the true meaning of Christmas is not getting
shuffled into the background?
In how many households is the Christ story told to little ones or even
adults? With the rush and rummaging that so many of us have come to
expect at this time of the year there is really very little time left to
appreciate the birth of Christ.
This Christmas spend a little time with your loved ones and talk
about or read the real Christmas story.
You'll be surprised at how much you will receive from those words.
The true spirit of Christmas is not in giving but in acknowledging the
real meaning behind all the celebrations.
Clear the sidewalks
With the arrival of the snow comes a new problem for the village of
Blyth.
The people at the senior citizens housing units are almost stranded
out at the end of Queen street. The high banks of snow make walking
off the highway nearly impossible. Some older people have trouble
navigating under normal conditions and with snow underfoot it is near
impossible for them to walk downtown.
To walk on the highway many rish being well splashed with salty
slush if not almost being run off their feet by traffic that roars in and
out of the village.
There are only a minimum of solutions open to Blyth council, We
understand the department of highways throws the snow almost back
to the houses along the highway. Thissnakes it next to impossible for
anyone to keep some sort of foot path open along the west side of the
street.
But along the east side of the street there may be another way. Here
there is already a foot path started. It has been beaten down by
snowmobiles and many feet and it could be the solution to the problem
if it were kept packed and made easier to walk along.
For the New Year perhaps our new council should take some action
here rather than put it off until the spring weather melts the problem
away.
Why wait till spring when you can do it now.
No choir?
In one part of the world this year there will be a group of very
unhappy boys. Can you imagine a Christmas without the Vienna Boys
Choir singing Christmas Carols?
A family whose son didn't get chosen to sing with the choir informed
the Austrian government that child labour laws prevent the choir from
singing during school holidays.
As a result the choir will be prevented from singing on Christmas
Eve and at six other performances during the Christmas school
holidays.
The Crystal clear voices of the boys will be silenced this year but
choir master Walter Tautschnig is hoping for a change in the law for
next year.
The disappiontment to both the boys and the crowd they would
entertain is monumental.
The choir has been performing since its formation in 1498. Such a
choir by now should be an institution. It is unfortunate that a sour
touch of vengeance has temporarily the silenced so many sweet.
voices.
We hope that the Austrian parliament will see fit to update their
laws so that the world will not be without the beautiful singing of the
Vienna Boys. Choir another year.
Ready for Christmas

Behind the Scenes

The simple gifts
Come Monday all of us will be opening
Christmas presents around a decorated
tree. In the meantime, we're all in a state
of crisis as we rush around buying last
minute gifts. But there are some gifts, gifts
more wonderful than any new kitchen
gadget or piece of clothing that will be
under the tree. There are gifts we don't
have to rush out and buy or worry about
wrapping. They're with us right now, even
if we don't often stop long enough to
realize we have them,
First of all there is the gift of peace. The
angels at Christmas wished Peace on Earth
and goodwill to men and for my generation
that's just what we've had. A whole
generation in Canada has grown up
without the fear of war. Oh we've heard of
wars on the other side of the world and
we've worried about war and built bomb
shelters but we've never had to deal with
the realities of war. We can only imagine
what it would be like.
Just how lucky my generation is was
brought hone to me recently during the
reading of a book on the happenings of the
Second World War, While deluded leaders
sat in. Berlin dreaming of world conquest
millions of people, their own as well as
foreigners were dying and suffering. The
leaders were able to isolate themselves
from the horrors of the war they were
causing until they were faced with the
evidence at the Nuremburg trial and many
of them couldn't face the truth.
For all of us in Canada today, however,
all this is either horrible memories or
terrible imaginings, We've had 30 years of
peace while others in some parts of the
world have had hardly 30 days.
Along with our peace we have also had
the precious gift of freedom. We've had
this freedom so long that we often don't
even know how precious a gift it is. Many
of us find many things wrong with our
country, with the government and the
leadership. Yet the fundamental gift we
have is that we can criticize what or who we
see as wrong without worrying about
anything being thrown back at us but
words.
It's hard for us to understand just what
the alternative could be like. It's hard for
us to understand the fear that stalks people
in many countries of the world, Imagine if
you were afraid: to stop on a street corner
and complain about the' high cost of food
because someone might see it as a criticism
of the government and have you' reported.
Imagine if you couldn't insult the Prime
Minister over drinks in a local tavern
without worrying that the man at the next
table might be a secret policeman. Imagine
that the only place you could freely
unburden yourself of all your complaints
and worries was in your own home and
even then not completely at ease,
We hear almost daily about the worries
that our freedom might be slipping away
from us through increased government
information gathering or the overuse of
Social Insurance Numbers, yet we can
hardly know that a real loss of freedom is.
Only those who have lived in a totalitarian
state can really understand just how
precious gift we have. And with more and
more people living in such conditions, our
gift of freedom becomes more and more
precious.
We have a third precious gift that won't
be tinder the Christmas tree this year but
will be represented there: prosperity.
It's a gift you won't hear talked about a
lot this year, Like peace and freedom this is
a gift we've had for so long that we take it
for granted, We've been so prosperous
that we don't really know what it would be
like not to be. Thus, when things aren't
going quite so well as we'd like, as in the
past few years, we tend to think of
ourselves as hard used,
Yet our Christmas trees this year will be
surrounded with gifts that people in many
parts of the world would think were too
fantastic to be real. Imagine a child in a
slum in Hong Kong or Haiti getting a
"Willia Walker" dog or a Wonderwoman
doll, Imagine a wife of the third world who
'worries daily about finding enough food for
her family getting a microwave oven to
rook what food she can find in or having
an electric dishwasher to do her dishes,
Imagine a family that got a new racing car
set for the fancily room, which also
happened to be the only room in their small
house made of scavenged materials from
the local dump.
Imagine for that matter the rugged life of
poor people in our own country: people in
the slums of the cities or the growing
poverty of Indian reserves,
I don't expect us to all feel miserable this
Christmas in the midst of our plenty but it
would be nice if we stopped long enough to
realize just how fortunate we are, It's a
harried, expensive, overcommercialized
time of the year in Canada but when you
really think of it we have so little to
complain about,

Huron board will
THE BLYTH STANDARD, D.DEMBER 2o, 1978 - 7
Update vocational equipment
Huron County Board of Education trustees
didn't want to get involved in a buy now pay 1
later scheme Monday night because tliey
were concerned they wouldn't be able to pay
later. Trustees were hedgy about approving
a recommendation to set aside about $75,000
to replace outdated or worn out vocational
equipment in the county's high schools.
The recommendation was made by an ad
hoc committee set up to investigate com-
plaints from teachers that equipment in
vocational classrooms was badly in need of
repair or replacement. Complaints have
been coming to the board for two years and a
committee composed of four trustees, . high
school principals, school department heads
and teachers toured the classrooms and
came up with several recommendations for
the board.
Board members recognized the problem
and agreed something had to be done about
it but couldn't agree on its priority. Some
argued that it would be foolish for the board
to decide now to spend that kind of money on
equipment replacement without knowing
what impact it would have on other expenses
in the budget. They felt that if the board
made equipment replacement a top priority
it may find later in 1979 that another serious
problem exists in another subject area and
will not be able to deal with the situation
because of financial restrictions.
MONEY
"I agree with the recommendation but I
sometimes wonder if we're not making a
mistake pouring all this money into all the
schools," said Zurich trustee trustee Herb
Turkheim. He added that the board could take
a look at the problem and consider
concentrating its efforts on Clinton and
Wingham. He said the other shops may be
closed allowing the board to "do a better job
than it is now" by putting that much more in
the two schools,
The committee wanted vocational equip-
ment to include audio visual equipment,
furniture, offices, physical education,
science and other areas and also wanted the
board to meet its high school principal in the
future to discuss budget concerns.
The committee wanted the board to
recommend to the budget committee that $6
per 'pupil be •set aside for purchase of
equipment in non -vocational areas.
The recommendations would require a
total expense of $102,600. Of that $27,600
would be generated by the $6 per pupil for.•
mula and the remaining $75,000 would be
earmarked by the board.
Committee members, Marion Zinn of
Ashfield township. Eugene Frayne, seperate
school trustee, John Henderson of Seaforth
and Dorothy Williams of Clinton, reminded
the board that in 1978 $27,357 was budgeted'
for capital 'expenditure and $30,790 in 1977,
It added that the $102,600 expense was
$35,700 less than the total value of
equipment needed to be replaced or re-
paired.
$6 PUPIL
Frayne told the board that because the
board normally spends at least the amount
generated by the $6 per pupil formula it
really was looking at raising $75,000 over
and above normal expenses, He added that
the expense was not frivilous but was in fact
a necessity.
"To my way of thinking four schools have
vocational training and are loaded right to
the ears and there are other courses being
used a lot less," said Frayne. "In the future
the board could consider having courses like
Latin or Spanish at Seaforth where they
don't have vocational training and having
vocational courses at other schools. I don't
see how a taxpayer in this county can object
to this board spending $75,000 in school so a
teacher can teach,
We truly hope
your stockings
will be filled to the
top with gifts of
joy, hope and love
Our thanks,
;GENE & NAN GORE
Blyth
The seperate school trustee added that he
"can't see spending money for a teacher to
stand up if frontof a classroom with nothing
to teach with."
John Henderson said the committee
wanted it clear that the recommendation it
was giving the board's budget committee
was not to be changed without board
approval, He said a similar recommendation
wasmade last year and the budget committee
threw it out because money was not
available. He said this year if money is tight
the committee wanted the matter brought
back to the board before any changes are
made in the equipment replacement pro-
gram.
Goderich trustee Dave Gower, a new
trustee, asked if the board's sanctioning of
the committee report meant that the expense
automatically went into the budget. He said
that he appreciated the problem but pointed
out that many items of a similar nature
would come before the budget committee`
and that until more is know about expenses

for 1979 it would not be wise to spend this
kind of money. He said he could support the
recommendations if they were just given
priority but he could not support them if a
final decision was being made now.
SIMILAR
John Cochrane, director of education,
explained to Gower that last year a similar
request was given the budget committee and
tha committee "in its wisdom or whatever"
changed the amount in the recommendation.
He said this year the committee wants the
recommendation to stand if possible and if
that is not possible] it wants the budget
committee to come back to the board with
any changes. He said the recommendation is
"not carved in stone", but means that any
changes will be made by the whole board..

money was coming from. He said he felt the

From Me to You
THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 20, 1978 -
Christmas the night before
BY RHEA HAMILTON
I am writing this with
Christmas still a full week
away and am finding it
difficult to say something
Christmassy,
I still have Chritmas shop-
ping to do and my thoughts
are hard on that plus getting
material ready for the
Christmas and New Years
edition. Buying presents can
be a chore but it's worth-
while when you see surprised
faces Christmas morning or,
at our house Christmas Eve.
I have three down and 10
more to buy. I try for the
unusual but often go over-
board and ithe receiver
'doesn't know what to do with
im y big surprise. I have
found being practical can
have it's boring side but I
often find that those much
needed practical little items
never get brought and it is
only at Christmas that they
get off the shelf and into my
hands.
This year I ani buying the
first suitable gift for every-
body as soon as I see it. No
more of this constant nag-
ging doubts about whether to
buy the soap dish or the hot
water bottle.
Have you ever noticed that
the best gift ideas come after
Christmas? The smart people
would be wise to make a list
of what everyone would like
and plan months in advance
for what to buy.
At Christmas people tend
to travel a lot further afield in
order to see family members
on this hol of holy oc-
casions, Thank heavens we
celebrate Christmas on
Christmas Eve with my hus-
band's parents who live close
by.
The custom in their family
is beautiful and somehow I
feel it makes it even more
like Christmas the next day
when we have to travel
around visiting. We have the
tree lit up and the carols
playing, The dark night gives
the whole affair on air of
something of what it must
have been like all those
centuries ago when the
Christ child was born.
After a light meal of
special foods, the presents
are opened and eggnog're-
freshes everyone. The
evening ends in the wee
hours of the morning. When
we go home the stars are out
.and the air is crisp and you
truly feel like singing for the
occasion.
The relaxing pace is some-
what hastened the next day.
We have often hazarded
driving along icy roads to see
other members of my family
and even on Boxing Day we
are still travelling throughout
the area,
Another thing I have
always wondered about
Christmas is why the special
cookies and breads that are
baked only at that particular
time of the year. When I had
finally mastered the art of
making the shortbread, that I
stole when I was a child, I
believed that I would make
those same cookies all year
round, Not so. To make those
goodies at an other time of
the year would be disastrous.
They would either not turn
out or not taste like the ones
that are baked during the
Chrimtas season,.
The scent of pine trees and
the crisp cold winter air are
all a part of Christmas
baking, and at any other time
of the year it just would not
be the same.
I hope everyone has their
tree up, for others to see, as
well as themselves. When we
were kids I always remember
the evening trip into
Goderich before Christmas
when Dad would drive us
around to look at the lights.
There were always some
homes which put on a
magnificent display each
year. Lights of every colour
lit up the snow.
I will be glad when the
Christmas count -down gets
closer for one reason, Then
they will play decent
Christmas music on the
radio, I get so tired of disco
carols. I would take any slow
hymn over that stuff any day.
To me those fast songs just
don't sound Christmassy.
When you read this it will
only be a matter of a few
hours till the Christmas spirit
visits us, All of us here at the
Blyth Standard we wish you
and yours all the joy ane
merriment of the season,
Merry Christmas,
CASUAL PRACTISE -- Practise was hectic Friday as students at Blyth

B of E members buy insurance
Trustees on the Huron,
County Board of Education
bought themselves an
accident insurance package
Monday night covering them

while on board business. The
insurance carries an $18
premium and is provided for
trustees through the Ontario
School Trustee's Council, of
which Huron county is a
member.
Two plans were offered

package, offered weekly
indemnity ranging from $50
to $300, a $1,000 rider for
medical or dental expenses
and $50,000 for death or
dismemberment. The other,
which costs $43, had the
same coverage for trustees
on board business but added
an extra $25,000 death or
dismemberment for trustees
if they are in an accident
while not on board business,
John Cochrane, directory
of education, told the board
that if trustees wanted the
$43 package the board would
pay $18 of it and each trustee
would have to pay the
remaining $25, He said the
board would buy the $18 plan
outright.

trustees would already have
adequate insurance

The purchase costs a total
of $288 for the 16 trustees,

Zurich trustee Herb
Turkheim asked if the $43
package carried any
coverage for weekly
indeminity or medical
. expenses for trustees if they
are injured while not on
board business. He said it
appeared from the
description of the insurance
that those two advantages
are not there if the accident
happened away from board
business pointing out that
the extra insurance is only
good if you "Get killed or
torn apart."
The board voted in favor of
buying its members
insurance, Only Bert Morin
voted against the proposal.

Snowmobilers
Have laws to follow for safety
If there's one breed of
people who welcome winter
snowstorms it's the snow-
mobiler.
Since the provincial gov-
ernment considers snow-
mobiles as one more type of
motorized vehicle, there are .
a number of regulations
under the Motorized Snow
Vehicles Act that winter
sportsmen should be familar
with.
First, anyone owning a
snowmobile, must register
the vehicle within six days of
purchase, with the Minsitry
I of Transportation and Com
munications,
In addition to registration,
• drivers must have a permit to
drive their snowmobile un-
less it is being driven only on
land owned or occupied by
yourself. The fee for the
annual driving permit is $10.
Also, when the driving '
permit is issued, you receive
a number plate to be at-
tached to the front of the
vehicle. This is the last year
this procedure will be fol-
lowed. Next season the plate
will be replaced with a
registration number which
will be attached to, or
painted on, both sides of the
vehicle.
WHERE YOU CAN GO
Snowmobiles can be oper-
ated on your own property or
on othm land with the
owner's written permission.
They're also allowed on
public trails, in public parks
and conservation areas, ex- ,
cept where prohibited.
Snowmobiles can also be
driven beside a King's High
way orssecondary highway,
except where prohibited, as .
long as you keep the vehicle
on the right-of-way between
the shoulder of the road and '
the adjoining property fence,
driving as far away from the
serviced road is possible.
Under the current legis-
lation, snowmobile drivers
cannot drive on the serviced
portion of a King's highway
or secondary highway, except
to cross, and this must be
done at a 90 -degree angle.
Snowmobiles are absol-
utely forbidden on a freeway.
Local muncipalities Piave
the right to pass their own
bylaws regulating the operat-
ion of motorized snow veh-
icles anywhere within their
boundaries.
In the village of Blyth
there are no bylaws re-
stricting snowmobiles to a
certain time slot. The !coal
snowmobile club polices and
establishes rules for the
majority of snowmobilers.
HIGHWAY REGULATIONS
To drive a snowmobile
along a highway, a person
must be 16 years or older and
must already hold a valid
Ontario driver's licence.
SPEED LIMITS
There are also a number of
regulations governing the
speed limit for snowmobiles.
You may not drive a
snowmobile faster than 15
miles per hour on a highway
where the speed limit for
cars is 30 m.p.n. or Tess or in
any public park, conservation
area or exhibition grounds.
You may not drive faster
than 30 miles an hour on any
highway where the speed
limit for cars is more than 30
miles an hour. This speed
limit also applies to public
trails.
COLLISION REPORTS
Snowmobile operators must
report any collision on or off
the highway which results in
injury to any person or
4.
damage to property appar-
ently exceeding $100.
Helmets
worn by
must now be
all snowmobile
operators, passengers and
persons being towed by a
snowmobile, when on the
roadway, shoulder or public
trails.

A. Manning and Sons is sold
Announcement was made!
this week of the sale of a long,
established Blyth business,'
A. Manning and Sons I
Limited to Douwe Welts and
Gary Courtney who will
operate under the name
Alex Manning's Building
Supplies Limited,
Established 31 years ago
by the late Alex Manning, A.
Manning ana 'Sons Limited
has established a steady
record of growth as the firm
served the Blyth area with
quality building supplies.
The new owners are former
employees of the Manning
firm and are thoroughly
familiar with the business
and the requirements of the
community the firm serves.
In addition to experience in
the supply business for
nearly five years they have
operated a successful
construction company.
The new firm will be
associated as a member with
Homecare Building Centres
Limited which has member
yards across Canada.
Alex Manning, the
founder of A, Manning &
Sons Limited, had a back-
ground of rural business life.
He was born in Hullett
Township, on the 13th
concession, west of #4
Highway, in 1895, on the
farm where Mr. and Mrs.
Tony Verburg now reside.
He worked with steam
threshing machines, saw-
mills and in the bushland of
Huron County prior to
joining the Canadian Army
during the First World War
of 1914 to 1918.
Following the armistice in
1918 Mr. Manning returned
to Hullett and resumed
activity in the rural environ-
ment which included running
steam engines for threshers,
working in sawmills, and, in
winter months, with log
cutting gangs.
Alex Manning had a love
for wood, and to create from
wood, and this led hint to
becoming a member of a
barn framing crew. Later he
joined an uncle's carpenter
crew and assisted in buiding
several churches in the
Toronto-Cooksville area.
However, mindful of the
old saying "you may take the
man from the country, - but
not the country from the
man", Mr. Manning re-
turned to Huron, this time to
purchase and operate the
feed mill in Belgrave, where
the Co -Op mill currently
operates. He had not lost his
love to create from wood, and
during his 21 years as owner
of the Belgrave Feed Mill, he
completely rebuilt the feed
mill structure.
The continuing desire to
work with wood led him and
his family to Blyth in
December of 1945 where he
was employed from then
until it's closing, by the Blyth
Planing Mills. The mill stood
just east of where Hamm's
Car Sales Limited is
currently located on dinsley
Street East.
When Blyth Planing Mills
closed Mr. Manning worked
for a time for the'.construc-
tion crew that was headed by
Mr. A. Taylor. Since con-
struction at that time drew to
a close with the first heavy
falls of snow, the long winter
months very often left the
carpenter unemployed.
It was at this time when he
was 53, that Alex Manning
discussed with his two sons,
his only children, the possi-
bility of starting a new
lumber yard. Bill, who was
butchering in Hamilton at
the time, and John, who was
employed by Leslie Naftel
and Imperial Oil Limited
agreed and it was mutually
decided to offer to the
community, a service that
had been lost with the
closing of the Blyth Planing
Mills.
Starting as ' early in the
spring of 1948 as the weather
would allow, Mex Manning
and son John, with the help
of snnie former r;►rnr+ntt

Extending
special thanks and hoping that
the treasured moments you share
with those you love will bring
you much happiness and joy.

nates, began what was to
become A. Manning & Sons
Limited. April 17th, 1948 has
been mentioned as the
starting date. Bill on quitting
his job in Hamilton, joined
his father and brother in the
father and sons venture.
It soon became evident
that with some long days of
diligent work by the father
and two sons, Blyth and the
surrounding area would and
could support a lumber yard
as long as the quality and
prices were competitive and
that a better than average
service was offered.
To upgrade the service to
the community and provide
something other than just the
merchandising of lumber and
relating products, machinery
was purchased and installed
which would allow the
manufacturing of a wide
variety of articles at the local
level for the benefit of
consumers and of the
community in general.
Window frames, complete
with sash, and glass, were
made and offered for sale as
a complete unit. Custom
made windows, and replace-
ment sash made of Ontario
white pine were manu-
factured to fit the non-
standard sizes, not produced
by larger manufacturers.
Among the many items man-
ufactured were replacement
parts for farm wagons,
sleighs, binders, mowers,
hay loaders, dump rakes,
buck rakes, swathers, grain
seperators, combines, and
dozens of other articles.One
of the must unusual custom
made orders was for a double
urn to be made of solid
mahogany, for the burial of
two cremated persons.
In the early 1950's, when
there was a serious shortage
in the area of carpenter
tradesmen John Manning
and Ralph McCrea, branched
out and started the construc-
tion branch of A.Manning &
Sons. Mr. McCrea had been
a steady employee of A.
Manning & Sons Limited,
almost from the start of the
company.
The construction
business grew by leaps and
bounds, with John Manning
as the superintendent for all
outside construction. The
construction branch has
erected over 60 homes, over
125 barns, sheds and
commercial buildings and at
peak periods, employed over
15 workmen, some at sub
trades. The construction
branch apprenticed 7 laymen
who qualified for Depart-
ment of Labour carpenters
certificate.
Many changes have taken
place since the lumber yard
venture was begun.
In 1948 the company had '
perhaps 170 separate items
to sell. Today there is a
selection of well over 3000
items. As well the identity
has changed from a limber
yard to that of building
supplies, which is compara-
ble to the change that
overtook the village blacks-
mith shop when in many
cases it emerged as a general
machine shop.
In the late 1940's, every
item was handled by hand,
and the bulk of the materials
were received by railway car
shipment, To -day the ma-
terials are largely handled
for fork lift tractors and the
largest percentage of
materials are received by
tractor -transports.
Delivery of materials to
customers, in the early years
was undertaken by the use
of a single truck, Today the
company keeps five trucks
busy serving customers.
Indoor warehousing and
sales area at the outset
consisted of less than two
thousand square feet located
on approximately half an
acre, at the corner of
Hamilton Street & Hwy., 114,
towards the south end of

occupies over 18 thousand

Rev. Roberts spoke to the
juniors concerning the rea.
sons for giving gifts. The
main ones were: To buy a
favour, acknowledge
someone of something as
Jesus, symbolically as the
gold, frankincense and
myrrh or to share in a
celebration or joyous
occasion.
He then questioned "Why

conclusion reached was "We

Christmas menu?
Here's how much food to buy
Whether you are thinking
of having a romantic dinner
for two or a larger family
get-together at Christmas,
you might be a little unsure
how much food to buy, Food
Advisory Division, Agri-
culture Canada offers some
guidelines for buying poultry
and preparing stuffing for
that big supper.
If turkey is on the menu, a
12 pound bird will serve 12 to
16 people, whereas one of
eight pounds will suffice if
only 8 to 10 people are
invited to dinner. A 20
pound bird will satisfy 20 to
25 people. These servings
are generous and will allow
for seconds. For stuffing,
allow about ten cups for a
turkey of 20 pounds, and
about seven cups for one
10 pounds. Don't stuff tilt
bird tightly because the
stuffing expands during
cooking. Spoon in the stuf-
fing immediately before
cooking the bird and don't
forget to remove it right after
the dinner's over and refrig-
erate turkey and stuffing
separately. These pre-
cautions will avoid un-
necessary bacterial growth.
Other types of poultry are
just as welcome at Christmas
as turkey. A five pound duck
would serve four people. If
you choose to serve a chicken
or capon, allow about 3/4 of a
pound per serving - a six
pound bird will serve 'eight
people. For the stuffing, five
cups will suffice for a bird
weighing eight pounds.
For that menu for two,
turn the turkey tradition into
an intimate serving of Cor-
nish chicken or quail. Pre-
pare one Cornish chicken or
two quails per person. Don't
count on too much stuffing -
apiece of cinnamon -drenched
apple will fill the cavity of a
quail, A wild rice stuffing
complements the flavor of
the Cornish chicken; allow
about'/: to 3/4 cup of stuffing
for each.
Even at Christmas
If the poultry is frozen, pay
special attention to the thaw-
ing procedure. It's prefer-
able to thaw in the refriger-
ator or in cold water, since in
both cases the bird remains
cold and this slows down the
growth of bacteria. In the
refrigerator, allow five hours
per pound and about one
hour per pound in cold water.
After the bird is completely
thawed, cook immediately,
or at least within 24 hours if
refrigerated. Happy holidays
and good eating!

Agriculture Canada's food
consultants advise you to

contain less fat than ice
cream. Snacks like candies,
chocolates and chips supply

empty calorics whereas crisp
vegetables,, fruit, nuts and
raisins offer much more in
terns of food value. Think
about it!
1. The amount of stuffing
depends on the size of the
goose, Allow one cup for
each pound of the bird,
ready -to -cook weight, Apples
and prunes may be used in
equal measure.
2. Soak the prunes two
hours or longer, drain and
remove the pits. Peel, core
and slice the apples. Mix the
fruits and sweeten to taste.
3. Preheat oven to moder-
ate (325°F),
4. Sprinkle the goose in-
side with salt and fill its
cavities with the fruits. Truss
tying the legs loosely to the
tail.
5. Place the goose, breast
up, on a rack in an open
roasting pan and roast until
the leg joints move easily and
the flesh is soft. Remove the
fat from the pan as it is
extracted. An eight -pound
goose (ready -to -cook weight)
will take four hours to roast;
a ten -pound goose will take
four and one-quarter hours; a
twelve -pound goose will take
five hours, and a fourteen -
pound goose six hours.

"How silently, how silently the wondrous Gift is
given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of
His heaven."
God came quietly to earth that night, long ago, in
the form of a babe, and in that same quiet way He
has continued to come into the hearts and lives of
human beings, when they have accepted Him, and
His Gift of salvation. It is our prayer this Christmas
time and always that our friends and loved ones
everywhere may be blessed with "the blessings of
His heaven" and that all may know the peace and
the joy which the angel promised that night long ago
in the Person of Jesus Christ.

by Debbie Wallace, The day our Heavenly Father
Sent his Son down, from above,
1 A' candle glows from the window
Bright lights shine on the tree /We know this day as Christmas
A star is placed a top it
It's special, don't you see?
It signifies a day of joy
Of happiness and love
It comes but once a year
A time for reuniting
With friends we all hold dear
For singing Christmas carols
And ringing Christmas bells
For giving and receiving
And merry Christmas smells,
But most of all believing
The season's meaning true,

any LOTTARIO agent. On
each slip you'll see seven 'boards' with
numbers! through 39.
r ]sing one `board' at a time, select any
ix of the 39 numbers. With a black

on it. That is your LOTTARIO TICKET. Check it to
ensure that the nunlbers on it are the ones you have chosen,
3 Each 'board' costs $1 to play. You may play as many -
'boards' as you wish. In other words, if you played 2
'boards', it would cost $2.
4 Then watch the draw on TV every week or check your
newspaper to see if the numbers you've chosen match
tienumbers that are drawn.
5 If you've won, simply present your winning ticket to

Every week six regular numbers and a bonus number will
be drawn on TV.
Match those six refndar numbers, in any order, and you're
the JACKPOT winner, or, if someone else has also chosen
the same numbers, then you'll share the prize.
But if you don't have all six numbers, there are still
thousands of other chances to win.
If you get five of the *liar numbers right and your sixth
number matches the bonus number, you share in the big
Second Prize Pool.
Or, if you match five of the regular numbers, your bundle
of cash comes from the Third Prize Pool.
Match four regular numbers and you share in the Fourth
Prize Pool.
And, if you match three of the regular numbers, you
win $5, Not bad fun for a buck! And there are bound
to be thousands of winners every week, because
the numbers you choose don't have to be in
the same order as those drawn.
HOW MUCH
YOU WIN.
The major prizes are divided into
lour separate prize pools — the
JACKPOT Pool, the Second Prize
Pool, the Third Prize Pool and the
Fourth Prize Pool.
The Fifth Pitt: is worth $5.
Those holding winning tickets in
any of the four pool categories will
share that pool equally.
For example, if the JACKPOT
pool is 5300,000 and 2 players have
correctly chosen the six regular numbers,
each player would win $150,000.
The weekly JACKPOT could he $100,000, $300,000,
5500,000, or more depending upon the number of people
playing LOTTARIO. In the event that there is no JACKPOT
winner, the JACKPOT Pool builds each week until someone
wins it.
In Quebec, the JACKPOT in a similar lottery was
over $1 million before being won,

Sugar & Spice
by Bill Smiley
December is a trying time, For one thing,
it's so dang sudden. There you are, tottering
along a day at a time, thinking it's still fall
and you must get the snow tires and storms
on one of these fine Saturdays, and throw
some firewood into the cellar, and get some
boots and replace the gloves you lost last
March. Christmas is away off there.
And then — bang! — yott look out one
morning, and there's December, in all it's
unglory: a bitter east wind driving snow, and
a cold chill settles in the very bones of your
soul.
Winter wind as sharp as a witch's tooth
sneaks in around uncaulked doors and
windows. Your wife complains of the terrible
draught from under the basement door. You
investigate and find that one of the
basement windows has been blown in and
has smashed on the woodpile. You clamber
up over the wood, knocking pieces off shins
and knuckles, and jam some cardboard in
the gap.
Creep cautiously outside, and nearly bust
your bum. There's ice under that thar snow.
Make it to the garage, and find that your car
doors are all frozen solid shut. Beat
them with your bare fists until the latter arc
bleeding and your car is full of dents. Finally
get them open with a bucket of hot water and
a barrel of hotter language.
Slither and grease your way to work,
arriving in a foul mood and with bare hands
crippled into claws, bootless feet cold as a
witch's other appendage.
Come out of work to go hone and find a
half-inch of frozen rain and snow covering
your car, and no sign of your scraper, and
another deep dent where some idiot slid into
your car door on the parking lot.
I could go on and on, but it's only rubbing
salt in the wounds of the average Canadian.
Get home from work and find that the
furnace is on the blink, and the repairman is
tied up for the next two days. And your wife
is also fit to be tied up over your dilatoriness.
Surely there is some way around this
suddeness of December. Is there not some
far-seeing politician (if that is not a
contradiction in terms), who would introduce
a bill to provide f'or an extra month between,
let's say, November 25th and December Slh.
I wouldn't care what he called it, It could
be Lastember, referring to your fast -dying
hope that there wouldn't be a winter this
•
�� ilpp"iy MW . ov,i •
year. Or Last Call, or Final Warning, or
She's Acominl Anything that gave us a good
jolt.
It would be a good thing for merchants,
They could have special Lastember sale of
gloves and boots and snow tires and ear
miffs and caulking guns and weather
stripping and antifreeze and nose warmers,
before plunging into their pre -Christmas
sales, which are promptly replaced by their
January sales.
It would be great for the Post Office,
which could start warning us in June that all
Christmas mail must be posted -by the first
day of Lastember if we wanted it delivered
before the following June.
It would make anice talking point for all
those deserters and traitors and rich people
who go south every year. Instead of
smirking, "Oh, we're not going south until
Boxing Day. Hate to miss an old-fashioned
Canadian Christmas," they could really
shove it to us by tearing, "Yes, we thought
we'd wait this year until the last day of
Lastember, you know. Avoid the pushing
and vulgarity of the holiday rush.
If nothing else, it would give us a break
from the massive nauseating volume of
pre -Christmas advertising, which begins
toward the end of October and continues,
remorselessly, right into Christmas Day.
Best of all, perhaps it would give dummies
like me a chance to avoid looking like such a
dummy. Procrastinators, who flourish
during a sunny November, such as we had
this year, would have no more excuses. All
their wives would have to do is point to the
'calendar and say, "Bill, do you realize it's
only three days until Lastember, Isn't it time
you did your Lastember chores?"
in fact, if that fearless politician who is
going to introduce the Lastember Bill in the
house wants some advice, here is a codicil
for him. Somewhere in the 13111 should be the
warning, in bold type: "Procrastinators will
be Prosecuted!" Jcez, why not? They
prosecute you for everything else.
If such a month were added to the
calendar - maybe we could start it with
Grey Cup I)ay - people like me wouldn't go
on thinking that Christmas is weeks away.
Instead, on the last day of Lastember, with
all their winter chores in hand, they'd know
that Christmas was practically on top of
them, like a big, old horse blanket, and

Peace and thanks to our patrons,
they'd leap into the proper spirit, luting up a
Christmas tree, laying in their booze, tuning
up their pipes for the carols.
As it is now, we know that Christmas is
like a mirage. It's way off their somewhere,
and no need to panic. Then, with that
startling Suddeness, it's December 22nd, all
the Christmas trees have been bought, the
only remaining turkeys look like vultures,
and the liquor store is bedlam. Who's for a

THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 20, 1978 - 23
Service in song Blythat United
Un Sunday morning,
December 17, worshippers at
Blyth United Church were
treated to a magnificent
performance in song and
dialogue by the Choirs and
Sunday Church School. Miss
Christine McNall at the
piano, accompanied the
organist Mrs, Kai, for the
prelude, and carols.
The service was the
Sunday School's Christmas
Concert and involved every
pupil and teacher. The
Nursery and Kindergarten
classes combined to sing 3
songs: Fisher of Men, This
Little Light of Mine and
Away in a Manger. The
Primary class did all the
motions that went with the
whole Christmas Story about
the Birth of the King of
Love, as read by their
teacher, Julie Shobbrook.
The offering, taken by
Barb Walsh, Bob McInnes,
Lloyd Sippel and Earl
Caldwell, included donations
to the cost of providing for
the care of the Sunday
School's Foster Child, 81/2
year old Sung Kee Yung of
Korea. The cost is $180.
annually and $153,75 was
received on Sunday.
The older members of the
Sunday School and all
members of the three choirs
then presented the Cantata
"The Drum". Act 1 took
place on a country road a few
miles from Bethlehem, when
a pedlar, played by Jeff
Sippel, met a poor orphan
boy, played by Ken
Whitmore,
All choirs joined in singing
"When The Messiah
Comes", followed by more
conversation about when and
where the Messiah will be
born. "The Shepherd's
Song" was sung by the
Intermediate Choir. Then
the play continued with the
shepherds joining the pedlar
and boy. Shepherds were
Mark Hoba, Todd
McDonald, Bradley
Ferguson, Brent Brooks and
Michael Glousher. "March
of the Kings" was sung by
Paul Craig, Steve Sparling,
Jeff Wittich and Drew
Vodden. After talking to the
Kings, played by Judy
McDonald, Billie Glousher
and Ronnie Howson, the
pedlar and the boy decide
they too should go to
Bethlehem, though the boy is
hesitant because his tunic is
patched and he has no gift.
The Intermediate Choir's
next selection was "What
Can I Give?" with the second
verse being sung as a solo by
Garth Wittich, Act 1 closed
with the Junior Choir singing
"Rocking Carol"
Act 2 took place outside
the Bethlehem stable with
the pedlar and boy realizing
the star has stopped over the
stable. The Choirs sang the
Old Fench Carol "He is
Born," Again the boy
declines the invitation of the
pedlar to go into the stable to
visit the new King because
he has no gift.
Mrs. Wightman had
coached a group of five girls,
dressed as angels, to do a
lovely coral reading (recited),
The Shepherds moved in
near the manger as "Hark,
What Man?" was sung,
followed by "Away in a
Manger" by all the choirs
with the Junior Choir singing
different tune and words.
Exceptionally beautiful.
After the Kings had come,
and presented their gifts to
the Baby King, the pedlar
gave a small gift, and the
boy, stretching out his hand
to say "I have no gift,"
realized he still had the
timbrel in his hand. He did
have a giftl
Congratulations and
thanks for a beautiful
program go to Mrs. Wittich
and Mrs. Kai and their
helpers with the music, to all
the Sunday School teachers
for costumes and assisting in
co-ordinating the
performance, to the men of
the Choir and Sunday School
for the props, to Jeff Sippcl
and Ken Whitmore who were
"the stars"
At the Community's
Annual Christmas Carol
Service on Sunday evening,
greeters were Fred Howson
and Earl Caldwell. Ushers
were Ray Griffith, Ray
Madill and Oscar Meier.
Music comprised a large
portion of the service.
Mrs. Bakelaar was at the
piano for the two anthems
sung by the Christian
Reformed Church Choir,
directed by Rev. Roberts of
Belgrave. A solo was
contributed by Mrs. Cook of
the Church of god. There
were two anthems by the
United Church Choir and for
the three numbers by the
Anglican Choir, Rev, Dan
Sargent provided guitar
accompaniment, and Mrs.
I.eibold sang solo parts.
Darlene Wesselink played
the guitar for her song
"Reach out to Jesus,"
Mrs, Wittich led carol
singing to open the service,
Rev. Sargent read from the
Scriptures, Rev, Wittich led
in prayer, Rev. Marquette
brought the message,
leaving the challenge "Ask
Christ What We Have that
He Wants Us To Give." All

Report from Queen's Park
Greenhouses will use waste heat
BY MURRAY GAUNT
The Minister of Energy
announced the next phase of
the cooperative venture be-
tween the public and the
private sector with respect to
utilization of waste heat from
the nuclear power stations at
Bruce and Pickering.
Two small scale green-
house production facilities
,are to be established, one
each at Bruce and Pickering,
and Hydro will commence
immediately on the actual
engineering design stage of
the system needed for the
extraction and piping of
warm water.
In discussions held by the
Ontario Energy Corporation
with growers, fish farm
operators, developers and
the financial community,
agreement has been reached
that the project would be
undertaken by the private
sector and that the small
..owner grower be given
every opportunity to become
involved.
In August, preliminary de-
sign proposals were re-
quested from private sector
investors who are interested
in developing the green-
house and fish farm
facilities. The level of in-
terest appears to be very
high, and from the submis-
sions received and from
ongoing discussions three
basic areas of concern have
emerged:
1. Since the actual extraction
of the warm water will need
to be capitalized over a long
period of time, there is a
need to define more clearly
the long term financial and
technological risks involved
and how to deal with them;
2. Because long term con-
tracts are required, there is a I
need to explore the specific
ways to attract or secure
substantial private sector in-
vestment capital;
3. The potential productivity
of greenhouses at these
locations must be measured
accurately; also high quality
water must be assured,
through detailed analysis
based on actual growth
cycles.
These projects, at Bruce
and Pickering, will be de-
signed first and foremost to
test the productivity of
greenhouses in those
locations, including weather
effects such as sunlight
ayailabilities, snow loading,
wind and inversion factors,
soil, water and air quality'
conditions and other growing
parameters. In addition,
various crops and growing
techniques, such as
hydroponics, greenhouse de.
sign and possible engine
ering improvements will be
evaluated.
The Minister expressed
the desire to work closely
with the municipal officials
concerned to coordinate the
development of this unique
project.
Third and final reading has
now been given to the cont
roversial bill on health and
safety in the workplace. This
legislation had been delayed
by the government for some
months, following debate in
committee, when the three
parties failed to agree upon
which categoreis of workers
should be covered. six es-
sential principles were pro-
posed by the Liberals: (1),
coverage of all non-
agricultural workers; (2),
limitation on the right to
refuse work by policemen,
firemen and others were life
or safety of the public is in
jeopardy; (3), mandatory
health and safety committees
for all industrial work places
and mines with more than
twenty employees, and
health and safety represen-
tatives for construction sites;
(4), pre -testing of all new
substances introduced into
the workplace; (5), re-
cognition that employers an
dsupervisors may advance
the taking of every reason-
able precaution as a defence
in appropriate situations; (6),
assessment of contractors on
an equal basis with other
employers.
Workers are given the
right to refuse to perform
unsafe work but the
following exceptions are
specified: policemen, fire-
men, workers in correctional
institutions and training
schools and employees in
health or health-related jobs,
Provision is made for health
and safety committees to be
established in all workplaces
wherever a dangerous sub-
stance subject to control
orders is present. Commit-
tees are also provided for
where there are twenty or
more employees, except in
offices, stores, apartment
buildings, libraries,
museums, theatres, private
clubs, restaurants and
hotels. Under the bill the
Minister of Labour has the
authority to create health and
safety committees at any
workplace.
Sterilizations being per-
formed on anyone under the
age of 16 will be prohibited
for nine months to give the
Ontario Government an op-
portunity to study the issue,
Health Minister Dennis Tim-
brell said this week. He said
that any exceptions would be
for medical reasons only.
May your
Christmas
stocking be
filled with all
your favorite
arm wishes
for a
Happy
Holiday!
One of
the joys of
Christmas is
the opportunity to say thank you
for your trust and confidence.
Elliott Insurance Agency
Gordon, John and skiff
Mr, Timbrell had not been
informed by his staff that
sterilizations were being per-
formed on mentally retarded
persons. However, according
to a report from a former
special consultant on mental
retardation for the Ministry
of Community and Social
Services, some 308 people
under the age of 18 were
sterilized in 1976.
Ontario's first boarding
school for children with
severe learning disabilities
will not open as scheduled or.
January 1st, according to a
government official, It is
anticipated, however, that
the school, to be located in
Milton, will be operational
sometime in January, and
the Minister of Education.
Dr, Bette Stephenson, has
said that the Ministry is "in
the process" of hiring people
Roya} commissions in
Ontario are guilty of esces-
sive and immoderate,
spending, and the Govern-
ment should be strict about
enforcing guidelines to con-
trol them', said former
Liberal leader Robert Nixon
in the Legislature this week.
The report of Provincial
Auditor Norman Scott,
tabled Monday, showed that
sixteen royal commissions
cost the Gvocrnment more
than $11 million in the last
four years.
The Ontario Legislature
gave approval this week to a
bill which will continue rent
control until the end of next
June, Frank Drea, Minister
of . Consumer and Com-
mercial Relations, intro-
duced the bill which amend-
ed the Residential Premises
Rent Review Act. The bill
postponed the expiration of
the act to June 30 from
December 31.
The Legislature prorogued
this week for Christmas. The
new session is not expected
to commence until sometime
in February, and, since this
will be my last report for this
ycar, 1 want to wish everyone
a very Merry Christmas and
a happy and prosperous New
Year,
Merry Christmas
Happy New Year
Eloping your Christmas will be merry
Your holidays bright and gay,
And nd all the good old fashioned . joys
Cross your hearth and stay.
Heartfelt thanks for your valued patronage

From the minister's r s stud
y
[by Ted Hoogetepn]
God makes very clear in
the incarnation of his Son,
that Jesus should be his
name. (Mt L.21/Luke 1.31).
This name is worthy of
deep reflection,
To understand the fulness
of 'Jesus' i.e., Saviour,
supersedes all human ability.
That name is so ' deep in
meaning; rich in content that
God the Father only owns the
right and power ` to, c41. his
Son: Jesus. Only God
fathoms the depths of love
and the abyss of suffering 61.
his Son whom he laid in the
manger. This name 'Jesus' is
a holy name, in which God
expresses the person and
work of the Son, of whom
only the Father understands
the abundance of grace and
loving mercy.
The wonder of it all is that
God has not kept that a
secret. We may know this
name, reflect upon it, use it.
This name brings God's
people to their knees in
repentance, asking God to be
cleansed from all sins. This is
the covenant name that binds
God's people together in one
unbreakable bond, the
covenant of grace, speaking
the name: Jesus, our God
and Saviour.
This name blends voices,
the harsh and soft, the
melodious and coarse, into
one beautiful sound of
praise. This name Christians
dare use only in 'highest

sin, the disobedience of
people, God had to offer up
his Son to the cross; Human
sins, personal and social,

history
THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 20, 1178 —a 29
A new and exciting history
of the Canada Company
which is being published
jointly by the County of Perth
and Cumming Publishing,
Stratford, will be available in
January 1979.
This covers the early story
of Guelph and Guelph Town-
ship, The Huron Tract and
scattered Crown Land lots
across Southern Ontario from
Windsor to Ottawa.
The book tells mainly the
founding of the Company in
1824, establishment of early
settlements, . building The
Huron Road and the gradual
introduction of self govern-
ment which reduced the
authority of C; sada Com-
pany officials posted either in
Goderich or Toronto.
The troubles of commis-
sioners and likewise those
of ,the settlers which were
complicated by poor com-
munications arc set out.
In spite of complaints by
certain settlers, The Canada
Compnay was one of the
most successful settlement
companies to operate in
Canada and was largely
reponsible for the dramatic
increase in immigration fol-
lowing the Rebellion of 1837.
The story of the Canada
Company was written by
Thelma Coleman, a freelance
author, who lives in Strat-
ford. The text was written in
1973-74 for the Perth County
Historical Board and during
1978, the 125th anniversary
of Perth County, it was
decided to publish it.

(tontmued from Page 7)
said he didn't think the board could tell the
budget committee it had to work this kind of
expense into the budget adding that the
board may have to look at amalgamating
courses.
Frayne said that today nearly all the
courses taught in the schools are used by the
students but added that it "wasn't important
whether students put the knowledge into a
trade." "What's important to me is that the
fact that they can use it," he said.
they were not going to get everything they
asked for but told the board that "it couldn't
go on forever just putting it off." He said he
realized the figure was hefty but he couldn't
see how the board "can't provide equipment
for teachers to teach with and yet can give
them a nine percent raise to teach,"
"If you're going to put a teacher in front of
the classroom you're going to have the give
him something to teach with," he stressed
He added that the principals knew that again.
