Les Canadicns, a play about Canada's national sport, written by Rick Salutin and the famous Canadian goalie, Ken Dryden, will be performed (on roller skates) at Blyth Memorial Hall, January 17th at 8 p.m. Les Canadicns is hockey, hockey, hockey. "There was more action in the first 60 seconds of Les Canadicns than in most games played at Maple Leaf Gardens this season," wrote Dick Bed - does in the Globe and Mail. The theatre is the Montreal Forum • the stage is the ice, This stage direction tells what the play is about. Politics? Not really. National Unity? No, thank you, not today. No, this play is about Hockey and the greatest Hockey team in the world - the Montreal Canadicns, it's about the players who made it possible for the team to wrack -up all those Stanley Cups • players like Howie Morenz, from Mitchell, Ontario; George Vezina, the greatest goalie of Charles Johnston all time; Jean Beliveau and Maurice "Rocket" Richard, Clarence Campbell, and even the Maple Leafs, . ,and because it's about people, it's funny too. Incidently, for theatre fans, Les Canadians won the award for best Canadian play in 1977.

One of these is the Blyth Figure Skating Club. The Club was formed in 1969 and its current slate of officers includes President - Diane Wasson,Secretary-Betty Archambault Treasurer, Ruth McClinchey, Senior Test Chairman - Donna Flynn and Junior Test Chairman • Joan Watson, There are also two pro teachers -- Debbie Jeffery of Goderich who teaches on Tuesdays and Julie Wynham of Seaforth who teaches on Thursdays. Between 50 and 65 Blyth young people are registered with the figure skating club. Debbie Jeffery just started teaching at the Blyth club last year. There arc three different groups t hat she teaches. There is a junior group from ages 3 to 7 or 8, a middle junior group from ages 8 - 10 and the seniors groups ages 10 and up. The first group of juniors learns how to skate and then from there, the next group learns how to improve their skating and are taught the different things they do in skating such as jumps or spins. When it gets to the senior level it's broken down into three areas •• figures, free skating, and dance. The seniors can enter into inter•club competition and the young ones sometimes have their own competition amongst one another. Seniors also try tests. in fact , a tes day was recently held in Brussels. 'There were tests for all three areas of figures, free skating and dance. Debbie's reason for helping the kids out «ith their figure skating is, "I guess just to see them advance," she said. Younger children are in the badge program where they get badges for the different skating movements that they do, Then the middle group is just a few badges higher. Debbie herself has skated for 12 years, mostly in Goderich and has the 4th figure in the figure part of it.She has her gold medal in dance and a second level, in free skating, Besides the Blyth Figure Skating club, she also teaches at Lucknow, Clinton and Brussels, Julie Twynham teaches the senior class only and also has a power skating class which was intended for the boys to help then improve their skating skills in hockey but when only three showed up, the club decided the girls should take the class as «ell. There are however, a lot of costs involved in running a figure skating club the sane way there is with anything else. Registration fees for the Tuesday class are $23 and for those who take classes on Tuesday and Thursday the fee is $33. Up until this year the recreation committee donated sonic ice time free of charge to the: skating club and to minor hockey, But this\ year the club is paying $7 an hour for their ice rental time. Mrs. Bonnie Cook the press secretary for the club said that some of the other expenses were paying for the pros, buying badges, sending the coaches to a coaches clinic, plus meeting other expenses such as mailing costs, Then there is the expense of the youngster taking tests as they did over in Brussels. Each youngster that goes pay $2 per test that they take and altogether there could possibly be about 40 or 50 tests they could take throughout the year. The Blyth Club will get a bill for its share of the ice time. There's inter -club compe- tition coning up and the children have to pay to enter this as well and there will be more to pay for ice time there. Then there's coaching school which costs $2.50 for every youngster that goes, The Club will also be holding a carnival this year as ,in achievement day for the youngsters. These carnivals are held every second year, in past years though,scrvice clubs in the (Continued on Page 6) Griffiths sold As of January 2 another business in Blyth has changed hands, Griffiths BP has been sold to Bruce and Gary Richmond, a father and son team, Both are long time Blyth residents.

There will also be a paint by mouth demonstration by Larry Parker, Conimunity Development Officer with the Ontario March oI' Dinies. An information booth will tivide information to the public about the various groups and activities relating to physically disabled adults in the Goderich arca.

It thrived when broken up and had pieces taken away from it. today I have some multi- plier green onions in Inv vegetable garden of which 1 have literally given aw,t� hundreds, and still I have to throw some away, because the more I break them up and divide then, the more they increase and the more I give away. .Jesus mentioned this principle in Matthew 16 when He said, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited if he gain the whcleworld and lose his own soul: or what shall 0 man give in exchange for his soul?" Are you giving away your Faith? How much (10 you share it with others? .Jesus said that whosoever shall be ashamed of ntc before men, of him will I be ashamed before niy father which is in heaven. Do you want to experience Life? Do you want to get something out of Living? Then give it away. The more you give away your Faith and share Christ with others the more He will pour Himself into your life, Then and only then will you experience real Living. You will really find that life Jesus was speaking about, Share Christ with others and He will share more of His life with you, The more you share your faith in Christ with others the more you will grow spiritually, You have everything to gain and noth- ing to lose by giving it away.

If Billy hacl not wanted to take the hash for sale in the U.S. the whole trip to the Turkish prison would not have happened. Billy's father comes to see if he is alright and brings him a suit while he is in prison. Thank THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 3, 1979 — 3 Four years in a Turkish jail heavens for parents, 1 know that when 1 saw the father I was really reassured that he would get his son out, But wait a minute, I had read the reviews and knew Billy had a lot to go through before he would ever see his good old U.S, of A, Billy is brutally beaten around the feet for taking a blanket to keep himself warm the first night he is in jail, That alone is enought to keep one on the good side. These jail guards mean busi- ness. The prison system is set up on the "dog cat dog" principle and you need money to survive, Before Billy's father leaves for home Billy hacl received his 3 year sentence and now faces that time in a world of dirt, and total loss, To go through the events to both Billy and the friends that he makes contact with in the Turkish Prison would give too much of the movie away. Usually shows are reasonably predictable and after one hour my bottom gets stiff and 1 wish the show would end so I could go home, But not in this case.

The Turkish government has objected to the film on the grounds that it is a slur against their people, 1 think rather the government ob- jects to the film on the basis that it will discourage people from coming to Turkey and spending their money. The film speaks out against the judicial and penal system in that country and the unjustness of it all. During the silent trip home I wondered just how the real Billy Hayes was coping with life, Could he carry on a normal life? Did he have many hangups which pre- veDted him from interacting with other peopls? Did he have an inner urge to kill his oppressors? Did his • hate if he had any, consume any loving emotions he may have I had, I usually dislike to go to films that are not entertain- ing. I see enough in the news to make me sick of thinking, But this film is a must for anyone who doubts that there are real problems for young people who travel abroad and who are not careful, it is not only shock- ing but will leave you in tears if not in violent anger, Such situations happen in jails around the world, But that only strikes home one ! main point. When you travel I be careful and remember the country you are travelling in is not your own. Respect it that way, The streets are for the people. Exercise your rights. Walk a block a day.

Anyone travelling along Number 4 highway north of Clinton and south of Belgrave will have noticed that a large number of majestic maples and pines have been cut down leaving long naked stretches of highway. The department of highways has been extremely busy getting the trees cut and land pushed back in preparation for winter storms. We, here in the snow belt area, would assume quite rightly that the gentlemen of the highway planning department would know what they are doing. But that is not the case if one travels along these roads. This year, up to the present, we have not had as much snow as in other years and we could expect that these strips of highway should be clear of snow. But that is not the case. The snow is built up just as high and as solid as in any other year south of Belgrave. The highway north of Clinton as yet has not seen enough snow to make a judgement. It is ironic that some of the trees cut were planted by the Ministry of Transportation to stop snow. The idea of living and learning is not a good enough excuse here. The landscape has been thoughtlessly stripped of trees for reasons that have not proved to be effective. The public has the right to expect a little more common sense from government departments. Winter driving is hazardous enough without someone cutting down wind breaks and making conditions worse. Everything you wanted to know about trees Beechwood fires are bright and clear If the logs are kept a year, Chestnut's only good, they say, If for long' tis laid away. But ash new or ash old Is fit for queen with crown of gold. Birch and fir logs burn too fast, Blaze up bright and do not last. It is by the Irish said Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread. Elm wood burns like churchyard mould, E'en the very flames are cold, But ash green or ash brown If fit for queen with golden crown. Poplar gives a bitter smoke, Fills your eyes and makes you choke, Apple wood will scent your room With an Incense like perfume, Oaken logs, if dry and old, Keep away the winter's cold. But ash wet or ash dry A king shall warm his slippers by, —Anonymous English poet The last few weeks the big news in Canada has been made, not by Ow politicians for a change, but by the businessmen. Un- fortunately, the news they've made hasn't been any better than the news made by the politicians. The fascinating world of big business has been taken out of the stock markets and thrust onto the front pages in recent weeks. It's like Monoply on a huge scale to watch the offers and counter-offers, the takeover bids refused, accepted, and reversed. For we ordinary mortals its a little hard to understnad just what it all means. In the long run to the companies in question such as Simpsons, the Bay, MacMillan -Bloedel and the rest, it probably doesn't mean much at all . The operations will stay much the same, None of these were companies in financial trouble. All were prosperous. Now a faceless bunch of stock holders has been replaced by another faceless b !inch of stockholders. The rest of us won't likely notice much either, at least at present. Things will likely go along much as before. But we're still losing something and continuing a very dangerous trend. Simpsons, for instance, may have been ,just one big impersonal company being 'swallowed up by another but it was until recently an independent company. There was some hope that it might retain its independence so that if a rival like The Bay started getting out of line, it could be a counter balance. What if The Bay thought it had a market cornered and either began raising prices or • its service became poor. There was always the hope with the independence of Simpsons that it might step into the market and provide good corn- peition. Now that hope is gone. As a country we have already had the problem of being dominated by large companies. Usually the large companies have been those controlled outside our borders. Now even the companies of Canadian nationality are becoming so huge, so concentrated in control that they are in a position to manipulate the public. As has been pointed out, if Canada had the same anti-trust legislation that is on the books in the U.S., most of these mergers would never have been allowed. But in Canada, our legislation is virtually ineffective. The concentration is dangerous to the whole health of the country because to have a strong economy, we must have not only competition but growth from the bottom. We need a steady stream of new enterprises, enterprises that are more flexible and more' imaginative than big corporations tend to be, The new companies will try things because they have nothing to lose while the big corporation with stick with old, tried and true methods because they don't want to take the risks, Yet this movement up from the bottom is becoming non-existent in Canada. For one thing, there is little encouragement for people to get into business these days. For another thing, the competition from the big companies is so stiff that survival if very difficult for any upstart company that is seen as a threat to the giants. Moreover, with the giants being able to put so much leverage on our law -makers, taxation and other legislation is helping to guarantee that the laws are stacked in favour of big business and against small. As a case in point there is the government's coni• petiton bill" that has been stalled since the early 70's because of opposition from big business. That bill would have halted mergers such as those that have recently taken place. it's easy for us, the ordinary guy in the street to sit back and feel we're helpless pawns in the whole stuggle and that we can only hope for government to act. In many ways we are just that, but in other ways we're the people who not only make such concentration possible, but indeed promote it. I'm as guilty of this as anyone else, i suspect. When I'ni out of town, say on a visit to a nearby city and need a quick bite to eat, nothing fancy, just a quick meal so I can be on my way where do I stop? Many thoroughfares in cities are lined with quick take-out restuarants, They're usually a mixture of nationally known chains and local small businesses. So what do I choose? Well usually I'ni chicken. Rather than take a chance on one of the small places that I know nothing about, I'm likely to stop in at the nationally known one. ,The MacDonald's or A & W or Burger Chef. I may be turning down a tremendous meal for the bland assembly line job, When you go to the store to shop and there's a brand of toothpaste „there that you've never heard of beside six brands that spend millions on advertising, which do you choose? I'll make a bet for the nationally advertised brands every time, even though the other may actually be better because more money is spent on the contents ane less .on advertising. The spread of shopping plazas through the area has also meant more and more people are lining the pockets of big corporations and putting independent businessmen out of business, Where once nearly everyone around here shopped in a store owned and operated by our neighbours, today people are travelling miles to huge shopping complexes with supermarkets big enough to swallow half of the main street of our old hometowns, Yes, we must hope for the sake of the country that the government takes some action in this growing concentration of business but things will never really improve until we stop being led like sheep by the companies that can afford to pay most to get our attention, until we're smart enough to go beyond the glitter and get down to real value and quality. If we don't, I guess we suckers deserve what we get.
