Rabies in Huron confirmed
Reports have been confirmed that cattle in
the north of Huron County have been placed
under quarantine for rabies.
Dr. W.J. Thompson, of the Health of
Animals Branch, the department of agri-
culture office in Seaforth, said one farmer in
the north of the county has lost five dairy
cattle to the disease.
Dr. thompson said in December, the
farmer discovered a skunk in the pasture
field with the cattle one day at noon. By the
time the farmer had returned to his house to
get a gun, the skunk had disappeared.
The next day, the dead skunk was
discovered on the farm and tests confirmed
the animal was rabid.
There is a 12 day incubation period
following contact with a rabid animal, Two

winter last Wednesday, Blyth and area had more snow squalls Tuesday

days after this period had elapsed, the
farmer lost four dairy cattle and a fifth cow
died a week later.
Dr W.J. Thompson said two other farmers
in the north of the county have lost a total of
three cattle, who also died from rabies.
The doctor reported a cat in Fordwich also
proved to be rabid.
However, Dr. Thompson said there is
"northing unusual" about the rabies out-
break. He said the disease has been found in
the county since 1957 and "we've never
really gotten rid of it since then."
He said the disease sometimes almost
disappears, and then breaks out again.
Dr. Thompson said skunks and foxes are
the main spreaders of the disease.
The veterinarian said one warning sign ifor
farmers might be if they see a fox close to
their farm buildings in the daytime, since
foxes won't normally come anywhere near
either people or dogs.
Listowel veterinarian, Dr, Thomas
Sanderson, said in this part of the province,
"we have to resign ourselves. .to the
constant existenced of a low-grade level of
rabies."
Residents in the north of Huron County
have requested a series of free vaccination
clinics for cats and dogs.
The clinics will be held in Gorrie, Jan. 10,
at 3 p.m to 7 p.m.; Wingham, Jan. 12, 2 to 8
p.m.; Dungannon, Jan. 15, 3 to 7 p.m, and
Blyth, Jan. 17, 2 to 8 p.m.
Dr, Thompson said vaccinations for pets
act as a barrier for rabies "between wild
animals and humans."

Queens Villa gets 51904
federal Horizons grant
The Queens Villa Club in Blyth is to get a
New Horizons grant of $ 1,904.

will be dishes for the kitchen, an exercise
bicycle, a hi -ti, crafts, film showings and
several indoor games.
Canadiens comes to Blyth
BY ALICE GiBB
Hockey Night in Canada is
introducing a little "culture"
in one of its upcoming pro-
grams and sports fans
around Ontario just may be
turning up in theatres this
winter.
The reason is Les
Canadiens, a Th catre Passe
Muraille touring production
which producer Paul Thomp-
son said is "forpeople who
normally don't like plays."
The play, which isn't like a
play, is going to be per-
formed at the Blyth
Memorial Hall on January 17
and excerpts from the same
play are going to be shown
on an upcoming Hockey
Night In Canada broadcast.
Les Canadiens, which
originated at the Centaur
Theatre in Montreal, was
written by playwright Rick
Salutin of "1837" fame, with
technical assistance from
Montreal goalie Ken Dryden,.
The action of the play traces
the rise of Quebec and the
rise of the Montreal
Canadienss hockey team and
offers some interesting in-
sights on both,
Theatre Passe Muraille are
the same company who
brought The Farm Show to
the arca, as well as
Shakespeare For Fun and
Profit. Right now the com-
pany has another hit on their
hands called Les Maudits
Anglaiscs which has drawn
excellent reviews and
audiences in both Toronto
and Montreal.
MILES POTTER
Les Canadiens comes to
Blyth with director • Miles
Potter, (frons The Farm
Show), an artificial skating
rink and a cast of six men and
one woman.Thewoman, who
represents everyone from the
mother of Quebec to a
French teacher, undoubtedly
has the safest role in the
play. The six nien are the
hockey players and they
careen around the stage on
skates - roller skates, but still
dangerous! As Paul Thomp-
son said, one of the trickiest
parts of the roles in Les
Canadiens was learning how
to brake on the skates.
The play starts off in the
days when Mitchell's own
Howie Morenz first left a
Stratford hockey team to play
in Montreal and Paul
Thompson hopes this will
make the play of particular
interest to local audiences.
On a visit to Seaforth last
week, Mr. 'Thompson said
Les Canadiens follows sonic
of the outstanding Montreal
players through their careers
and shows "local hometown
boys trying to deal with the
world,''
Mr. Thompson said the
secret of Les Canadiens is
that ''traditional good
Canadian hockey and history
are Wed together." Les
Canadiens, Mr. Thompson
said, "is the play to bring
your husband to,"
particularly if that husband is
a dedicated hockey fan.
FiGHTS
In case anyone thinks the
play will be a little dull after
the real thing, Mr.
Thompson said not only do
"all your heroes come to
life" but the play also
features some of the fights
which have made Canadian
hockey famous, or infamous,
depending on your view. But
in spite of the fights, Mr.
Thompson said, "We
haven't heard from Rov
McMurtry yet,"
Although the play original-
ly premiered at Montreal's
Centaur Theatre, and was
produced by Toronto Work-
shop Productions more re-
cently, Theatre Passe
Muraille has picked up
touring responsibilities for
play, which includes hauling
a 300 pound score sign and
rink around Ontario.
Mr. Thompson's eventual
ambition for the play is to
translate it into French, and
take it back to Quebec, this
time aiming it at the French
Canadian audience.
Mr. Thompson, the
founder of Theatre Passe
Muraille, grew up in
Listowel, the heart of
Toronto Maple Leaf country,
and said despite this, he was
always a Montreal fan.
Ted Johns, another
Theatre Passe Muraille
alumnus, and the writer-
actor who starred in The
School Show at Blyth this
summer, also has a personal
interest in Les Canadiens,
When Mr. Johns was
teaching high school in
Mitchell, he lived in the
house where Howie Morenz
had grown up, One day
Montreal Can adiens star
"Boom Boom" Geoffrion ap-
peared at the door and asked
it' he and his wife, the
daughter of Mr. Morenz,
could tour the house.
BISHOP
Although Mr. Thompson
:me to Seaforth largely to
publicize Les Canadiens and
Billy Bishop Goes To War,
the hyo -man play coming to
Blyth later this winter, he
also had some observations
to offer on the theatre scene
in general.
Mr. Thompson said the
recent government cutbacks
to theatre companies are
going to hurt smaller
In Mullett
companies, like the Blyth
Festival, the most, since
finances won't allow the
companies to grow. Also, the
lack of funds "stops new
Blyths". Mr. Tompson said
his own company will have to
do fewer shows in the coming
years and have already had
to postpone a planned pre-
sentation of The Ectasy fo
Rita Joe.
The director said sadly the
theatre is one part of
Canadian Life that is "really
ours", an "interesting and
potentially exciting method
of self-expression which we
are controlling,"

Hydro to test voltage
As part of a scheduled
series of tests, Ontario Hydro
will reduce system voltage by
5 per cent on January 16,
1979.
The test will cover two
one•hour periods •• 1:30 p.m.
to 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to
7:30 p.m. •- and is not
expected to noticeably affect
residential, commercial or
industrial customers.
"Very few customers will
even be aware that anything
is happening," says Roger
Whitehead, system
operations manager.
It is estimated that a 5 per
cent voltage reduction will
reduce system demand by
about 400,000 kilowatts
enough to supply the needs
of a city the size of London,
Ontario.
The test is standard pro-
cedure carried out twice a
year to determine how much
the system load can be
reduced during a generation
shortage. The tests also help
locate operating and
customer voltage supply pro-
blems and ensure that Hydro
operations staff remain
familiar with voltage re-
duction procedures.
The last test took place
July 18, 1978.
If system problems
occur January 16, the testing
wil be delayed two days, to
,lanuary 18, 1979.

from Me to You
Suffering from stretched tummy
BY RHEA HAMILTON
. !don't know about the rest
of you but 1 for one am going
to watch what I eat for the
next few months. After
treating myself to extra
helpings of dressing, sweet
salads and plenty of mince-
meat pie and pecan tarts,
cheese cake and numerous
cookies I have had to face a
fact. My tummy ain't what it
used to be.
The next few months we
all tend to stay indoors more
and activities slowly come to
a halt. Even skiidoers can't
say they get much exercise
riding those machines a-
round the white countryside.
Reduced quantities on my
plate often seem to do the
trick and make me feel
thinner if in fact I don't look

it. Food has always been my
downfall, Anthing in-
teresting or spicy is reason
enough for me to try it.
The thought of food brings
to- mind the plight of the
Vietnamese people who have
chosen to live in our country.
The food they are eating is
Canadian. Roast Chicken,
sliced pork and boiled vege-
tables. It all sounds very
tasty but many of the re-
fugees are having a hard
time changing their eating
habits.
Although they eat those
same products they have a
very different way of pre-
paring their foods.
The Canadian dishes,
weigh heavily and the Viet-
namese feel sluggish after
eating.
You can imagine if you
were accustomed to eating
lightly on foods that are
cooked quickly and with a
minimum of oil, to them
Canadian food is greasy.
Maybe we could in-
corporate the best of the two
for ourselves. In our rough
climate we need the extra
energy our Canadian dishes
afford us. But maybe we
could cut down on the fatty
foods and concentrate more
on fresh or quickly cooked
vegetables, use less meat
and avoid too many starchy
items,
At home when we try to
cut down our intake 1 find
someone always gets the
munchies and out comes

munion Service on Sunday
morning were Albert Wasson

Betty Nethery, Steve How-
son and Bill Aiken. "Behold,
A Stranger Standing" was
the name of the anthem by
the choir.
Scripture reading was a
familiar parable from Mark
12: 1-11. Mr. Wittich's story
for the Jr. Congregation was
in the form of a parable -
about a frog in a comfortable
rut, but not until forced by a
truck did he make the effort
to get out. How true of life!
To explain his sermon
"The Act of Love", based on
1 cot. 1:18, Mr. Wittich used
another parable, comparing
God's Family of Christians to
any family where children
rebel and want to prove they
can fend for themselves.
Parents use all manner of
means to bring their children
back, and not until the
children realize that the
parents have done all these

it's a never-ending process of

Remember to watch "sing -
time" on Sat, at 6:30,
stricted ourselves to apples,
fresh nuts (always left out for
cracking) and any leftover
salads in the fridge.
On a really cosy night a
bowl of popcorn is excellent.
Mind you have to keep the
amount of the butter you
drizzle over it to a minimum
or the whole idea of weight
loss is ruined.. For popcorn
with flavour put some
seasoning into the- oil when
you cook it. We like curry
mixed with cayenne and
numerous other spices to
make for a spicy flavour so
that you don't notice the
absence of a lot of butter,
But the crunch in cutting
back is to maintain that ideal.
Too often I come across a rich
new dessert or main dish
and we will eat it for several
meals. Bloated we stretch
out in front of the tube and
let all those calories settle
down to a fatty state.
Evenings when the tube is
off, small jobs get done and
you don't feel bloated.
The skinny society dictates
a lot of subtle rules to us. If
being fat were really a happy
experience I for one would
gain the pounds and suffer
the consequences.
But such is not the case. I
mean, who would be small
enough to get up into the
crawl spaces at home to
insulate and check for leaks?
Winter is the fat time of
the year for me. Maybe with
the extra snow covering we
can get out and do some
skiing and avoid the "heavy
blues" this year.

Compliments to Blyth
The seniors living at the Queen's Villa apartments were having
difficulties navigating through the snow banks to get to the downtown
area.
Now citizens may walk with somewhat more ease on the east side of
the street. A path is being kept clear so that they will not have to
chance walking along the highway or atop high snow banks.
Getting around at the best of times is difficult for some people and
having snow banks to navigate around makes life miserable.
Now the way is clear and everyone who uses the walk should
compliment the village on remedying the situation before something
hazardous occurred,
More children 7
Can you imagine anyone having children when they cannot even
afford to support themselves?
According to Lorne Henderson, Conservative MPP for Lambton, the
low fertility rate in Canada will have a devastating effect in 30 years.
The average two children per family won't provide enough future
citizens to support the economy in future years, Mr. Henderson says,
A large part of the population will consist of retired people. The
children of today will be supporting those born In the post-war baby
boom, who will be reaching retirement age about the year 2010.
Unless the birth rate is increased, there could be five million people
in the work force supporting 15 million who are retired and 5 million
who are not old enough to work, says Mr Henderson.
It is fortunate that Mr. Henderson reali; es the financial problems
involved with raising a family in these days of inflation. He encourages
the government to provide some sort of financial security to encourage
greater fertility.
We can understand Mr. Henderson's concern. There must be some
sort of balance maintained in order for the country as a whole to
survive. But in this day and age what government would encourage
population growth with more and more unemployed raising their
voices. for security.
At the present time the future doesn't look promising for young
couples. Real estate is high, food prices are ever rising and with our
mobile way of life there always seem to be more items needing
financial attention than many are prepared to admit.
Once Canada's economy is more stable there may be another baby
boom. Contentment and security is the key to family structure,
Instead of encouraging population increases maybe Mr. Henderson
should concentrate straightening out other problems like unemploy-
ment plaguing young and old alike and leave population growth to take
care of itself.
Wind breaks planned
It is refreshing to get some feedback on material printed in the Blyth
Standard. Last week we commented concerning the cutting down of
windbreaks along highway number 4 both north and south of Blyth.
From all observations it appeared that the government agency
responsible for the planning had misjudged and the road was in just as
rough a shape, snow wise as before the trees were cut.
But fear not. The planners in their ivory towers have not neglected
us. The Ministry of Transportation and Communications in Stratford
has explained that the shoulder has been too soft for the plows to throw
snow back very far and trees had to be cut.
In the spring weather the province plans a tree planting program.
The new trees are to be planted in the new 55 foot road allowance. The
old road allowance of 33 feet did not leave enough room for both trees
and snow. Given another year the roads will be properly protected and
in a few more years the beauty of the trees will be established again
along highway 4.
Memorial Hall
Behind the Scenes
by Keith Roulston
Down in Toronto these days they're busy
making a movie. It's based on the murder
mystery Sin Sniper, written by one of
Canada's best known authors, Hugh Garner
and set in Toronto's Cabbagetown area,
Except it's not called Sin Sniper, but Stone
Cold Dead. And it won't look like it's in
Toronto• but instead in some faceless
American city. The locations are being
chosen to look like those one might see in an
American city and all mention of Canada is
being downplayed even though the movie is
being made in Canada by. Canadians from a
Canadian book by a Canadian author about a
Canadian city.
Down in Montreal they're making a movie
in the streets of the city but are covering
over all the street names that sound like
they're in Montreal in favour of names that
might show up in any typical American
city. And so it goes.
A while back Pierre Berton wrote a book
called Hollywood's Canada dealing with the
hilarious ways the American movie industry
used toportray Canada. it seems there's an
even greater opportunity for a book today
called Canada's Hollywood about the ridicu-
lous way Canadians are treating themselves
in movies. In the right hands, such a book
ought to be hilarious.
There are more movies being made in
Canada today than ever before. There are
fewer movies being made about Canada
today than just about any time in the last
decade, It used to be that Canadians film
makers made self-conscious little films on
shoestring budgets that nobody ever got to
see, sometimes because the movie theatres
were controlled by the big U.S. distribution
companies which wanted to push their own
products, good or bad; and sometimes
because the Canadian movies were just gosh
awful bad.
But now and then there was a diamond in
the rough, a charming little movie that
would make people say; gee, if only that
writer had a little more money and better
talent so he could do a really good job.
Well the Canadian government decided to
do its part by bringing in tax incentives to
get people to invest their money in movies
made in Canada. For short while we had
moderately budgeted films like Why Shoot
the Teacher and Who Has Seen the Wind
and Lies My Father Told Me, which were
both enjoyable and Canadian. But then
people began to think they had to break the
U.S, market to get the really big m!•.niey and
they were afraid Americans ‘rouid only go to
sec movies that looked like they were
American. Thus, while they stayed in
Canada to take advantage of the tax break,
Canadians and foreigners began to make
movies here that looked like they took place
in American cities and had American
stars.
Now there are very few "Canadian”
Canadian movies being made at all and
when they do get made they're likely to star
foreigners. The most ridiculous stage was
reached when Two Solitudes, a movie that
couldn't be more Canadian, based as it was
on a book dealing with the English -French
rift in Canada starred an American as the
English Canadian and a Frenchman as the
French Canadian.
The movies, of course, though being the
most realistic of art forms have always dwelt
in fantasy, making something look like
something else, They make a movie about
the Sahara in a Nevada Desert and a movie
about Nevada in the Sahara. in the movie
Superman they shot portions in Alberta
which were supposed to take place in
Kansas. I don't really object to that (as long
as our tax money isn't involved). What 1
object to is the present paranoia that makes
film makers sell their national birthright in
the hope they'll get the pot of gold in the
U.S. market. I realise that we can't make
every movie so platantly Canadian that
people in other parts of the world won't be
interested but if you've got a good story i
don't think a few Canadian touches will drive
people away from the picture in other
countries, We don't stay home from Ameri-
can or British pictures here,
i find it ironic that at a time when
Canadians still feel they've got to bring in
some American "stars" to win box office for
films made here, Americans picked a
Canadian actress Margo Kidder for the
female lead in the most expensive picture
ever made, Superman. A Canadian ballerina
was chosen for the lead in another American
picture, Slow Dancing in the Big City, And
another Canadian actress Genieve Bujold is
one of the busiest actresses in Hollywood.
Yet we continue to bring in Americans who

Plan programs
for Year of Child
The Ontario Govern-
ment's programs in observ-
ance of the International
Year of the Child arc now
under way and dozens of
municipalities, associations
and organizations across the
Province have indicated that
they will join in the cele-
bration,
IYC was proclaimed by the
United Nations as a means of
focussing attention on the
well-being of children.
The Ontario Government
has allocated no extra funds
for the observance yet all
Ministries and Secretariats
are participating by building
special projects into existing
programs within regularly
allocated budgets. "The re-
sponse has been over-
whelming," the Honourable
Margaret Birch, Provincial
Secretary for Social Develop-
ment noted recently.
"With no special grants
programs, organizations
have responded equally as
well," she added. "Wontens
Institutes have been partic-
ularly industrious in making
local arrangements for child-
ren's events, Municipal-
ities have responded too. The
Town of Milton, for instance,
plans to work with the local

dents will then gain experi-

ment by selecting a mayor,
councillors and city officials,
Mayor Donald F, Gordon will
respond in a brief address on
how local government oper-
ates.
In ' Elliot Lake, an
ambitious program by the
Town Corporation includes
plans for construction of
special children's recreation
areas in local parks or school
areas, a series of social
events planned especially
around children and a re-
quest to the Elliot Lake Arts
Club to include a children's
section in its annual art and
handicraft show,
"The real spirit for the
Year of the Child has to start
in the family and in the
community," Mrs. Birch
added, "That is why the
spontaneous and enthusi-
astic support from commun-
ities is so encouraging."
Following are some
suggestions from the Ontario
Government on how IYC can
be observed by individuals or
groups.
*Become a Block Parent or
set up a Block Parent Associ-
ation if there is not one
already in your neighbour-
hood,
*Invite a guest speaker to
your club/organization/
Home and School Associ-
ation to talk about positive
parenting, education, day
care, handicapped children,
children with special needs
or any arca pertaining to
children that would be of
benefit to your members.
•Contact your local Child-
dren's Aid, ''Y", Big
Brother/Little Sister Associ-
ation or other voluntary
organization regarding
volunteer work,
•Contact your local Child-
ren's Aid with regard to
becoming a foster parent.
*Make a personal commit-
ment to your own children,
grandchildren, nephews,
nieces to set aside extra time
in 1979 for an educational or
recreational experience, e.g.
trip to zoo, museum, conser-
vation arca or art gallery;
camping or sporting events.
•Construct a special child -

single parent groups, Child-
ren's Aid Societies - pre/post
natal courses.
*Set up family social
events that include children
of all ages - pot luck dinner,
movie night, community fair,
games night, sports day,
hobby fair.
*Involve children in volun-
teer work with senior citizens
the physically handicapped,
a recreation centre, hospital
patients, other younger
children.
•Have your school class/

Freedom of Choice group
formed in Huron County
A new group, called
Society for the Freedom of
Choice, has been formed in
Huron County to promote
intellectual freedom and de-
fend novels, studied in
Huron County secondary
schools, which have been
under fire.
A meeting to set up the
group organized by Goderich
town councillor Elsa Haydon,
was informal with Mrs. Hay -
don inviting a number of
people who have been vocal
on issues concerning
individual freedom in the
past.
One issue at the top of the
suggested goals of the group
was lobbying for the Huron
County Board of Education to
lift its classroom banning of
The Diviners, by Canadian
author Margaret Laurence,
Earlier this year, the board
took the novel off the ap-
proved list of material for
high school English classes
after pressure from the
county chapter of the Renais•
since International group,
The 19 people who at-
tended the first meeting fo
the Society for the Freedom
of Choice decided to delay
planning any definite action ;
for the organization until a
second meeting can be held
on January 17.
Mrs, Haydon said she
decided to hold the first
meeting to defend the books
the Renaissance group
wanted banned. She said she
didn't intend to "convert
anyone's thinking" nor did
she intend to form a bona
fide group.
"1 feel it is very important
to show people outside the
county that while there are
people in Huron.County who
want the book banned, there
are also people to fight
against it," she told the
group.
SDHS principal Bruce
Shaw said he felt "some kind
of voice" had to be created in
the county to balance the
"negative force".of the book
banners. He said it stems
everywhere he goes, people
SPS principal Paul Carroll
told the group he was
interested in other issues
than just the recent book
banning. He mentioned as
examples the recent ministry
of education treatment of the
film Jesus Trial and a letter
he received from Ontario

have certain information be-

Auburn Huron Chapel
enjoys large attendance
BY WAYNE GOOD
PASTOR, HURON CHAPEL
The last service of 1978 at
the Chapel saw a good
number of families in at-
tendance in the candle - lit
sanctuary. The Chapel had
been decorated for the
festive season by Mrs. Doug
Campbell and Mrs. Frank
Raithby.
Pastor Wayne' Good gave
'i interesting slide pre-
sentation a World Mis-
sion Special. Beginning in
Iraq with the traditional site
of the Garden of Eden, then •
to the Biblical sites of Ur of
the Chaldee, Babylon, Egypt
and Israel we were shown the
progress of the development
of Israel as a nation and
through her the Saviour
born.
The further spread of the
gospel by Paul took us tc
Damascus the place of
conversion,then on tc
Athens, Corinth and Rome.
The progress of modern
missions included scenes
from Mexico Colombia and
Ecuador South America.
A fellowship hour followed
the service and refreshments
were served by Mrs. Frank
Raithby, Mrs. Dave Baan
and Mrs. Wayne Good.
At the first services of 1979
interest continued in the
Family Bible Hour Sunday
morning at the Chapel.
The Adults are ex-
perienceing the thrill of Bible
Study in the Book of Heb-
rews, taught by the pastor;
with the aid of an overhead
projector.
As a prelude to the
evening service the Chape-
lites played several musical
numbers. Two songs were
sung by Dave and Diane
Bann.
Pastor Good's Message
showed members to forget
the sinful past, for which
they have been forgiven, and
press on to the prize of the h
high calling of God in Christ
Jesus, just as Paul showed
his experience with the
Philippian believers.
Next week a musical team
from Emmanuel Bible Col-
lege, Kitchener, will be at
the Chapel

Mr. 'Thompson also said he
was sorry to see many
Toronto theatre companies
are now doing more
traditional plays. He said
Toronto is still "sicked into
the New York model too
much" and theatres aren't
willing to take the leadership
in bringing new works to the
stage.
SMALL CENTRES
Although most Theatre
Passe Muraille plays do
eventually end up on the
Toronto stage, the company
has traditionally written the
plays in smaller communities
around the country, in-
cluding Petrolia and Clinton.
Mr. 'I'honipson said he still
likes bringing his work to
smaller centres, "since it's
an audience I still know I'm
connecting with."
In the meantime, Paul
Thompson has also issued
area hockey fans a second
challenge. Not only will his
company perform Les
Canadiens on stage, but the
cast has also offered to take
on any team who will
challenge them to a game -
on roller skates of course!
Now, are there any Leaf fans
out there who want to show
those actors how the game of
hockey is really played?

8 — THE BLTYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 10, 1979
Snowmobile safety
Twenty passengers were
included in the ,107 deaths
known to have involved
snowmobiles during the
winter of 1976.77.
This is why the Canada
Safety Council, through
Canada's news media wants
to reach out with some "stay
alive" tips for all who plan to
ride a snowmobile, either as
driver or as passenger.
A snowmobile is as safe as
the person who operates it •
and consequently, many
WI will
The W.M.S. January
meeting met at the home of
Mrs. Joe Dunbar on
Tuesday, January 2. Mrs.
Dunbar presided.
Mrs. Victor Youngblut
read scripture Psalm 8. A
Three part reading was given
')y Mrs. Youngblut, Mrs.
garner Nicholson and Mrs.
Ivy Cloakey, Mrs. Mac Scott
led in prayer Mrs. Jack
McBurney took the topic and
read a story on Ruth Mrs.
Nicholson read two poems."
The secretary report was
given by Mrs. McBurney she
also gave the yearly report.
Care is needed
safety tips are really of the
common sense variety that
apply equally to all kinds of
vehicles.
There is a responsibility
not just to oneself, but also to
passengers, pedestrians,
cross-country skiers and
animals. Here's the
Council's basic snowmobile
advice: -
- Know the rules and
regulations of snowmobiling
in the area involved.
- Ensure that every
potential rider • especially
beginners or youngsters • is
familiar with the vehicle's
operation.
• If a young person is to be
in control, first, is it legal for
him/her to do so? Then, docs
the young person understand
control of the machine and
behave well in positions .of
responsibility.
• Start and stop smoothly.
Keep a moderate speed and
slow down over rough sur-
faces.
- Warn passengers of
dangers ahead - c.g. low
branches, Avoid broken ter-
rain, and if passenger is
young, check riding posture
frequently.
- Passengers: Hold
handles, keep feet on run-
ning boards, and obey
driver's instructions.
•A note for all: do not ride
a snowmobile after drinking.
Drinking and snowmobiling
Do Not Mix.

East Wawanosh wants
Vehicles off road
East Wawanosh residents
won't be getting any corn-
ensation in the future for
damage to vehicles or mail
boxes left in the way of the
township snowplow.
A new bylaw stating that
neither the township nor the
plowman would be re-
sponsible for damages was
passed at the council
meeting held last Tuesday.
The by-law was made mostly
at the suggestions of road
superintendent C.W. Hanna
Also, any vehicle which is
left on the road and that
interferes with the clearing
of snow from the highway,
will be towed away at the
owner's expense,
A by-law was also passed
allowing the township to
borrow $250,000 to meet
municipal expenses until the
time township taxes are col-
lected.
Council again appointed
the Canadian
imperial Bank of Commerce,
Wingham, as the township's
banker.
Council members voted to
give a $25 grant to the
Ontario March of Dimes.
Also, a grant of $255 was
paid to the Wingham
Recreation and Community
Centre.
Council also paid the Blyth
fire levy for 1979, an amount
of $2,660.
Council also voted to pay
the $31 membership fee to
renew their membership in
the Ontario Good Roads
Association.
Ralph Campbell was
granted a building permit for
a new sow barn, subject to
the approval of the Ministry
of Environment,
John McClinchey, read
grader operator, was
guaranteed a 40 hour pay
work week, After 40 hours,
Mr. McClinchey will be paid
time and a half overtime per
hour pay. He was also
granted one and a half days
of sick leave per month, with
credit for the sick days to be
deleted every two years,
C.W. Hanna, the township
road superintendent, was
asked to contact Ken Dunn,
of Burns, Ross and As-
sociates in Goderich, re-
garding the limits on town-
ship bridees.
Councillors Currie and
Vincent moved that council
apply for the balance of the
annual petition for subsidy
under provision of the Public
and Highway improvement
Act for 1978.
Road accounts of $5,194
and general accounts of
$6,499 were appoved and
paid.
The next meeting of East
Wawanosh council is on Feb,
2nd at 1 p.m. in the Belgrave
Community Centre.
Behind the Scenes
by Keith Roulston
(Continued from Page 4)
very few tilnt goers know much about to
head our own films.
Geroge Mendelik, the man who's making
Toronto look like an American city in Stone
'.'old Dead says "I'ni not hooked on making
'anadian filets. 11' you talk to the common
foe, he doesn't give a damn about Canadian
identity in tilnts." Well Geon; 0, I think
you're wrong, I think that, give good,
enjoyable films, Canadians would choose
those that shoe' them something at least
about the scenery of their own country rather
than one that looks like it's made in some
drab, faceless, nowhere land. I make that
judgement after watching people flock to .
theatre for several years because they can
identify with the Canadian characters and
situations portrayed on stage, something
they could never do before, People are
starved for the sight of something of
themselves on stage, on television, at the
movies. They just want entertaining, quality
production along with their Canadian
identity.
What's happening because of people like
Mr. Mendeli k is a tragedy. After all these
years we finally have many films being made
in Canada but for all the good it's doing us,
they might as well be made in Hollywood. At
least there they might try to juice things up
by making Pasadena look like Vancouver.
