Smokers beware
Smokers beware. Hullett Council
officially passed their smoking bylaw this
month. 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.
Mondays storm creates
Wingham and District's budget for 1979
has been frozen at last year's figure of
$3,111,013. The Clinton hospital has been
allowed a budget increase of $34,822 up to
$1,645,506, for 1979-80.
Hospital administrators from across the
province heard about budget restraints from
health minister Dennis Timbrell at a meeting
in Toronto Friday.

Meeting at Memorial Hall on Wednesday,
January 17. Mrs. Norm Gowing, represent-
ing Blyth Village Council, installed the
officers for 1979,. and complimented the
members on a job well-done.
She told the group that the many hours of
volunteer labor makes the village a much
prettier place, and council, village residents
and visitors to Blyth, all appreciate it.
Each Director will be in charge of one
monthly meeting, to case the President's
load, Mrs. Bill Elliott paid tribute to the
untiring efforts of President Viola Haines
over the past 3 years, and also for accepting
the nomination again, rather than let the
organization cease. Mrs. Millar Richmond
pinned an official Ontario Horticultural
Society lapel pin on Mrs. Haines to which
Mrs. Haines fittingly expressed her thanks,
Mrs. Richmond is to receive one, also.
Mrs. Elliott then outlined numerous
things all gardeners can be doing in
January, to be assured a better garden in
1979, and told how to grow some new plants
to lift your spirits through the dull winter
months.

Toc Alpha offers teens a choice
BY RHEA HAMILTON
For young teens and older
ones too, being closed in over
the winter may have some
devastating effects on their
lives, Boredom makes a lot of
them reckless and when they
finally do get out into the
stream of things again there
is a certain tendency to
whoop it up.
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.

without mind alternating
drugs. 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?

1979 is International Year of the Child
Albert Wasson and Millar
Richmond greeted worship-
pers at Blyth United Church
on Sunday morning, Jan.
14. 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

Be prepared
Stormy weather makes people frantic around their homes. 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.)

Behind the Scenes
by Keith Roulston
Our pioneers
We owe a good deal to the strengths our
pioneers brought with them to the new
lands of North America, Unfortunately, we
still suffer from some of the weaknesses
they brought.
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,

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. The three of us direct
the services given by the
Health Unit and can assess
what services are adequate,
which need improvement,
and which are redundant.
The county physicians, coun-
ty hospitals, social service
agencies, volunteer groups,
separate and public schools,
and many other bodies, are
in regular contact with us
and provide the Health Unit
staff with an idea of the
services we should provide to
both those organizations and
the people of the county.
These service directions are
then brought, through the
Medical Officer of Health, tc
the attention of the Board of
Health, and through them,
County Council, so that
improvements or changes
may be made in the services
tion of one representative given to Huron County.
This may at first seem like
appointed by the provincial, an awkward system. Isome-

and especially the war- vice requirements and polio -

other aspects of Huron Coun- of a system there exists an

automatic set of cheques and
balances so that, hopefully.
few of the services given are
unnecessary or inappropriate
and those services that arc
necessary can be identified.
What is commendable is that
the Ministry of Health and
the elected representatives
of Huron County have a
genuine interest in the well-
being of the people of the
county and have an opportu-
nity to partake in the devel-
opment of health services

Hullett hears about subdivision
Plans for a subdivision
were unveiled at the January
meeting of Hullett council.
Council approved the pro-
posed plans submitted by
Carl 'lesbitt. Mr. Nesbitt is
plarrig the subdivision in
the north east corner of
Londcsboro on land he owns.
The plans will have to be
approved by other gover-
ment agencies before being
implemented.
In other business council
issued building permits to 13.
Haverkamp and L. Idsingsa
and refusal an application to
A. Dykstra on Lot 20 cosecs•
sion 2 for a refuse site.
Building permits are still
subject to township bylaws
and Huron County Health
Unit regulations where
applicable.
Council approved sever-
enccs for lot 34, concession
12, lot lb, concession 11 and
lot 44, concession 14 and
recommended written agree-
ments 00 line fences where
necessary. Council also

Wood
Don't add wood -burning
units 0) your furnace. warns
the director of the energy
safety branch of the ministry
of consumer and commercial
relations.
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."

An appointment
you won't miss
BY WAYNE F. 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. "How will

If There Really Is
No Need For
Continuous Advertising
Ministers
Should preach only one sermon or so a year.
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.
BUT If you are one of the foolish kind -like the
Notre Dame Cathedral that has stood for six
centuries but continues to ring the bell every
day to let people know it is still there- and
b elieve in continuous profitable advertising,
then your advertising belongs in -

On with the race
It's hard to head into a new year with a
high heart, when every second headline or
smarmy news announcer hits you another
blow where it hurts • right on the financial
yonc. 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,

justified.

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,
