Although no decision has been made on where to post non smoking signs, council has the authority to prohibit smoking in municipal buildings "in such places as council deems advisable," Hullett's new bylaw notes the trend towards prohibiition of smoking inpublic buildings and notes that "smoking is recognized as a potential health hazard, and known as a nuisance and irritant to non-smokers;" Clerk Clare Vincent was not sure if council would designate non-smoking areas at the next council meeting. Hospitals lose beds The hospitals that Blyth area people use could lose beds, according to a new ministry of health formula, which allows 3.5 beds per 1000 populations rather than the old figure of 4 beds per 1000, Hospitals with under 100 beds have been given a 10 bed leeway and Clinton Public Hospital could lose 18 beds and Wingham and District Hospital 21 beds.

Alcohol and drugs are too often considered a manda- tory form of entertainment and some kids have no choice but to join the crowd. Peer pressure is one of the great- est influences that many young people either have to ignore or fight or succumb to. There is a group available for those who want to have a good time without any of the chemical problems, called Toc Alpha and its members range from 14 to 21 years old, Now that may seem a bit young to start but t was shocked at having to learn that young people under 16 have just as many problems with booze etc, as the older kids. The Alcoholism Found- ation of Manitoba surveyed six schools and reported that drinking patterns are estab- lished by grade 10. Here equality reigns and both boys and girls were consuming the same amounts. The fact that teenagers drink is nothing new, The fact that their numbers arc increasing is alarming. This is where Toc Alpha comes on the scene, Their objec tives are simple and basic, Their main objective is to enable young people to get together and have a good time without booze or drugs. They encour- age increased awareness of themselves, their environ- ment and their relationships with their environment. They try to provide attractive alternatives to the use of chemicals in situations free from the pressures to use those chemicals. Young people learn skills that make for good decision making, personal committ- ments, and a freer lifestyle Blyth United Church news Rev, Wittich preached on Sunday morning, Jan. 21 on the topic "Love one Anoth- er." He reminded everyone that this week is a Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. He followed the theme throughout the service, choosing Ephesians 4:4-6 for the Call to Worship, and Scripture was John 17:20-26. Hymns were Glory Be to God the Father, In Christ there is no East or West and The Church's One Foundation. The anthem was a different and delightful arrangement of "The Lord is my Shep- herd." Mr. Wittich told the little boys and girls that God cares enough for every child and even every tiny snowflake that he makes every one different. Kim Van Vliet was teacher of Jr. Congregation and Marsha Szusz in charge of the Nursery. "Fun Night" found mem- bers 8 to 80 enjoying shuffle- board, scrabble, Mrs, Procter's contest, and Mrs. Webster's Geography game.

There are plenty of groups around. The member- ship conics from all parts of Ontario, The members meet for canoe trips, dances, camping and rock climbing. The most fantastic part about this organization is the fact that it is run by youths for youths. They pro- duce a newsletter for all members and hold national conferences to offer first hand experiences, and re- ceive more information about alcohol and drugs and alter- natives. At present Toe Alpha is conducting a contest for a non alcoholic drink. Over $300. in prizes will be presented. All you have to do is create 1) a party punch, 2) thirst quencher or 3) a Most Exotic drink. This contest may help Toc Alpha recruit some more members for their group, This group is not a religious oriented group and neither arc they involved with retired junkies or alcoholics. They don't attempt to force ideas on others. The whole concept is to provide a group that relies on members for entertain- ment instead of a bottle or a reefer. There are opportunities for leadership training, communications and other healthy activities. It is an alternative to drugs and alcohol. What more could you want from your teen? To grow up healthy is all anyone asks. Here is an alternative to gravel runs and hideouts. 1 think this is one group we should all give a little more time and thought to. Got an idea for a tasty cooler? Entries and more infor- mation may be obtained by writing to Toc Alpha, 15 Gervais Drive, Suite 603, Don Mills, Ontario, M3C 1Y8.

Ushers were Betty Net- hery, Melday McGelroy & Hazel Elliott. Even though fewer choir members were out, because of the severe storm, their anthem was a beautiful number and excep- tionally well rendered. Rev, Wittich read scrip- ture from Revelations 19: 1-10, and Psalm 100 was read antiphonally. These two pas- sages were the background for the sermon that explained how uplifting and exciting worship is meant to be and can be if only each one would prepare spiritually and men- tally prior to going to church. Pastor Good pronounced the benediction. The ladies are busy quilt- ing again after a lull over the holiday season. Here's what Ontario is doing and what you can do to improve the well-being of our children. The United Nations has proclaimed 1979 Lei as International Year of the Child in order 1979Intemational to focus attention on Yearot the Child children everywhere In Ontario, the Government has always looked at children as our most precious resource and has worked to provide them with the best possible health, education and social programs. In 1979, we intend to strengthen these services and programs in the belief that the peace and prosperity of the future depends on the well-being of our children today. However, the Year of the Child to be truly successful in Ontario, must have everyone's support.. your support. Only you, as a parent or friend, can provide the love and concern that is so essential to the healthy development of a child.

Perish the thought of ever running out of fuel or food for yourself and your family. At this ti Tie we should all thank our lucky stars that some area merchant's are concerned enough to brave the weather to get groceries and fuel to homes. While we would not take chances ourselves (or at least we shouldn't in stormy weather) there are many deliveries made. Although the grocery stores are quiet, amidst their stocked aisles the phone rings steadily from customers fearing famine. Fuel dealers are constantly callei on bad days to make a run out to some forgotten sideroad to fill a tank. lc is to these dedicated (or foolish) people that we must give thanks. As long as our fuel tanks for both homes and bodies are far from empty we have nothing to fear from that windy old devil, winter. Those of us in the rural community in time of need are often lucky enough to know a neighbour who has a snow machine. In times of emergency there is absolutely no other means to get around with any ease. But the best thing to remember amidst all this good will toward men and women who face the elements for others, is that we should not place ourselves in the position of needing them. C ur storms have not lasted for more than two or three days, but as a precaution we should all remember to keep a good week's supply of food and staples on hand. Fuel should be checked regularly and dealers are usually very good about not letting you run out. The winter is not over yet so don't be caught in a pinch. Prepare for an onslaught now and it just may not appear. To the editor: Don't call the OPP We are into the annual low visibility, snm+ covered road time of the year again. People, no smatter what the weather, have to go places risking life and limb, most times unnecessarily. During these storm conditions people will call the OPP Office and ask what the road conditions are like. 11' we have the infor- mation we tell the people of the severity of the storm, such as visibility - poor to nil, roads drifting badly, etc. The response is usually, "Oh well, 1 have to go anyway, thanks," Does this make sense: We don't think so, especially when we get another call to investigate the accident this person gets involved in due to the weather after he has been told. In storms, since it is senseless to be on the roads, the OPP only go on the roads in emergencies if we can get through. We don't often know what the local conditions are, let alone distant road conditions. Our telephone lines are constantly busy with callers wanting to know how poor the conditions are even though they figure on going anyway. People who do need help find it difficult to get through on the phone for those reasons. Please do not call the OPP for road and weather conditions. Call Godcrich Weather Station 524-9331, or Ministry of Transport- ation and Communications, Stratford 271- 3550, (MTC Stratford get updated road and weather reports constantly from all over Western Ontario.)

I was doing some historical research recently when i ran across probably the first major case of religious paranoia in our history. it began with the Fenian raids. The Fenians were Irish who wanted to bring freedom from Britain for Ireland. But they weren't Irish fighting iti Ireland, they were Irish Americans who mistakenly thought they could drive the British out of Ireland by attacking Canadians. They spread terror throughout southern Ontario and in the long run were one of the contributing factors to Canadian confederation because the colonies wanted to unite for defensive purposes. The Fenians had brought Irish problems to North American soil and in doing so, they also gave root to the countervailing force: the anti-Catholic distrust of Protest- ants, Reading about the Fenian raids now sounds funny, but it is also tragic. Protestants actually believed that Catholics living in their own communities were readying their guns to join the Fenians when they invaded, In Wingham, one night, the people of Lower Town were roused with the warning that the Fenians were invading. The Catholics, the residents were told, were moving out their wives and children to prepare for the battle. The residents got up and prepared for the invasion but when nothing happened, they decided they'd better see what was going on in the Upper Town, a half mile or so away, and found everyone asleep, including the Catholics. The next morning it turned out that the sound that had been mistaken for the Catholic exodus was actually a drunk who kicked his family out into the cold. Such incidents were pentiful in towns and villages and outposts throughout the area. The distrust they show among the Catholics and Protestants is a continuing thing. As a youngster i remember the Orange parade as something of a joke, an excuse for a big drunk. Somehow the real meaning of it all didn't come through. For some of those attending it was indeed a chance for a good drunk. For others, though, it was, and probably still is, serious business. They see a real danger in Catholicism and feel they must tight to keep Canada staunchly British and Prot- estant, We tend to think of our national crisis as being French versus English but I wonder how much of it was Protestant versus Catholic. In the eyes of the staunch Orange followers, the Quebecois were doubly damned: first they were Catholic, second they weren't British. They didn't want to fight British wars. They didn't take pride in` the Empire, Strangely, most of our pioneers came to Canada because of injustices done to them by the system in the old country but once here, suddenly Britain became the epitome of all that was good and those who argued against that were traitors. The first crisis that pitted Quebec against the protestant and English -speak- ing provinces carne with the Riel rebellions Riel wasn't French Canadian, he was actually a half-breed, but he was Catholic and he spoke French and the Orangemen of Ontario were out to get him. That was goodenough to win him support in Quebec. The animosities built up in 1885 have grown and hardened until we have the mess we arc in today. An acquaintance who owns a grocery store was saying recently that he got into trouble with some of his customers if the cans on the shelf were turned the wrong way so that the French side of the label was out. I thought surely he was exaggerating to make a point but then there was the C.B.C. television program M an Alive last week interviewing an old Orangeman who talked about just that and having to turn the can "all the way around" to be able 10 read what was in the can. He didn't think that was right, he said, My first reaction to such statements is anger. Such a huge sacrifice to make to put a little understanding into our country. Such a shame to have to turn the can all the way around. But then the second reaction is one of deep sadness. One hundred, even 150 years after the pioneers came to this new country, we arc still plagued b y their petty prejudices, Today, with the growing nat- ionalism in Quebec, such intolerance is growing harder on the opposite side of the question as well. The chance of under- standing, of brotherhood seems to be lessening every day. How sad. But perhaps saddest of all is that the roots of this whole mess lay in the staunch belief of Catholics on one side and Protestants on the other that they, and they only, had the true way to God. The intolerance, the hatred has all been practiced in the name of the Prince of Peace, the matt who said we should love our fellow man, THE BLYTH STANDARD, JANUARY 24, 1979 — 5 THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S NEW EXECUTIVE — In the front row seated from left to right are President Mrs. Viola Haines; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Bill Elliott; Treasurer, Mrs. Miller Richmond; and First Vice -President Mrs. Harold Cook.

(Standard Photo) You and your health by Huron County Health Unit Staff Huron County Health Unit ... what docs it do , how.. why? Would you like to look inside your Health Unit , . . after all, you (ancl 1) are paying for it? Public Health Agencies (Units) arc established under the Public Health Act, Sta- tutes of Ontario, Under the Act there are two principle bodies who are responsible for "the public health". Ministry of Health and the local Board of Health. The Provincial Ministry of Health has various depart- ments which deal with gener- al medical services, hospital services, community health services, mental health ser- vices, etc. That branch deal- ing with community health services acts as director of the overall provincial public health programmes, sets fi- nancing goals, and acts as a consultant to the local Health Unit in case of difficulties. For example, if 1 need advice on how to deal with a difficult or unusual situation, there are specialists in the fields of infectious disease, child care, school health services, and many others, with whom I can get and share opinion. The local Board of Health directs the Health Unit, taking into consideration the Ministry of Health's program mes and plans throughout the province generally and its own view of the needs in the county. The members of the Board of Health are drawn from the Huron Coun- ty Council, with the except - for example, Social Services, Family and Child- ren's Services, and county Planning and Development. This gives some measure of continuity and integration in the overall development of Huron county social and health planning.County Coun- cil has members sitting on the hospital boards through- out the county and this further improves input into health service development. These two bodies, the provin These arc the Provincial tial Ministry of Health, and the Huron County Board of Health, largely shape the direction of the Health Unit's programmes and services. Direction is given to them through the Health Unit staff, particularly the Direc- tor of Nursing and Inspection and the Medical Officer of Health.

Herb Jones says these add•ons can be dangerous because furnaces aren't built or installed to handle the Nigh tempera! tires generated by wood. "Already this year, the units have been associ- ated with a number of death according to the fire alar. shal's office." Wood -burning units re. quire larger clearances from combustible than gas, oil of electrical furnaces, he said. "Some consumers have neglected this and as a result walls, joists and other cons bustible materials near the furnace and flue have caught fire." The add•ons are also not equipped with automatic shut-off controls which stop the injection of fuel once the maximum safe temperature has been reached. "The heat in wood -burning units can be reduced only by closing the draft. This is Tess effective than the automatic control. And the consumer is re- quired to keep a close watch over temperature levels, which is normally not pos- sible." • Power failures pose an additional hazard. "The fur- nace blower won't operate during a power failure. But the wood will keep burning without the blower spreading the heat. So unsafe heat levels may build up."

GOOD Anappointment you won't miss. What harried parent has not been heard to exclaim, "I'm just bogged down today with appointments. I must have the children to the dentist at 10:00, then see Mary's teacher at 11:30 and I have an appointment at the hairdressers at 2:00. I just don't see how I'm going to get everyting done today, Some appointments arc more important that others and we must not fail to keep them, while others of lesser importance can be resched- uled or in some instances cancelled without serious consequence. Appointments arc always set for a specific time and place. The hour is set and the place is named and each party is aware of the time and place. There is one appointment we all have, The most dec- isive and important of our life. It cannot be cancelled; it will definitely take place and the parties concerned will both be there. But, strange to say, we, do not know the precise hour it will take place, and yet we will be there, am referring to the appointment mentioned in Hebrews 9:27 where it tells us that, "It is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgement." You and I have an appoint- ment with the .fudge of all men, to give an account of our receiving nr rejecting His Salvation. Are you prepared to present yourcase? You do not know how soon you may be called to keep that appointment. John 1:12 "To as many as .received Him to then gave He the power to become the Sons of God. "Rom 8:0 "If any man have not the Spirit of Christ; he is none of His." Rev. 20:11-15 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and :he books were opened: and nother book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were writ- ten in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man accord ing to their works. And death and hell were cast' into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And who- soever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Rev. 20:6 "Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

People are against sin anyway, so why harp on it. Traffic Lights Should be turned off at dangerous intersections to save electricity. Everybody knows it's a dangerous spot and that is sufficient. Police Should stop driving up and down the highways. No need to caution drivers by patrolling highways. Drivers know the law and obey it. Teachers Shouldn't review lessons. Tell children just once and they'll never forget it.

It doesn't tingle, like a crack on the runny bone. Rather it produces a dull, sick ache that you know isn't going to go away in a few minutes, All the staples of life in our once - wonderful Canadian standard of living are taking another spurt in the inflation race: bread, butter, cheese, milk, pleat, vege- tables, fruit. There's a plausible explanation for every increase, as usual. But I have a deep, abiding suspicion, and if 1 had the research facilities, I'll bet I could confirm it. I have a strong feeling that when the basic commodity rises, say, 20 per cent, the middlemen , the big food chains with their handy outlets, the supermarkets, adc' another five per cent to slake it a nice rouna 25 per cent, fully realizing that the harried shopper hasn't time or resources to figure out whether the increase on the shelves is justified. (what a mess they've made of things). But I think it makes more sense to subsidize fanners for growing wheat so that the price of bread may be kept down, than it does to subsidize American industrial giants so that a few thousand jobs will be created. I know the answers: we need the jobs and the taxes industry will produce. But the farmers will still be 'here, growing wheat, when huge new factories have closed, the jobs have vanished, and the Americans arc gone, laughing all the way to the bank, It's happened before, and will again, I don't blame the Yanks. if you can find a sucker willing to give you huge subsidies, and sweet tax concessions, why not use him? When the subsidies dry up, and the tax concessions period ends, you an always go honk, taking your marbles with you. No skin off yours. Don't think I like subsidies of any kind, 11 hate them. Nobody ever subsidized my father. And when he went broke in the depression. he and my mother had to scramble to keep us off the relief roles.
