Volunteer drivers needed
Plan ride service
Blyth Swinging Seniors have always had
as their aim "Seniors Helping Seniors". One
of the first things they did was to petition for
senior housing which many are now enjoying
then when Memorial Hall was threatened,
they organized a new Horizions group and
obtained a grant which encouraged the
council to make the necessary repairs.
Their latest aim is to make arrangements
for a much needed transportation service.
Louise Merrirt met with Blyth Swing
1st in 4 years
Seniors on Thursday, January 24th. Showed
slides concerning the needs of people in
Huron County. She arranged for Mrs.
Nancy McPherson or the Rural Develop-
ment.
ment. Outreach Project to meet at Mrs. K.
Webesters' home with a group of interested
seniors.
As a result there are several volunteers
who are willing to take those who need rides.

Council gets a raise
Blyth Councillors have raised their
salaries. At last Monday evening's council
meeting increases were set up. The reeve
will received $1,000 up $100 and councillors
will be paid $800 up from $750.
The PUC Chairman now receives $660 per
year and commissioners $550 James War -
Auburn to keep stage
The Auburn Community Memorial Hall
Board held their open meeting last Thursday
evening to decide whether to remove the
stage or not, Last fall it had been made a
motion to leave as is but due to public
discussion it was thought best to hold
another meeting and decide one way or other
before insulating is done. It was carried that
the stage would remain for a few years when
more space may be needed,
The chairman of the hall board, Ralph
Campbell presided for the meeting and the
minutes read by Mrs, Donald Haines,
secretary.
The Building committee to recruit labour
was chosen • Kenneth Scott, Manfred
Losereit, Gordon Daer, Allan Webster(
Donald Haines and Harold McClinchey. It is
hoped that the community will give assis-
tance with labour and help this project to
keep the hall warmer. Work will start in the
near future.
wick was appointed Blyth's animal control
officer for 1979 and will receive $50 per
month.
Mrs. Mary Warwick was appointed care-
taker and will receive $40 per month.
The last increases were made in 1975.
Village councillors and reeve are paid on a
yearly basis as opposed to a set rate per
meeting.
Grant threatened
b
planning delay
Blyth may lose its final payment of the
grant for the official plan if the Ministry of
Housing is not given a satisfactory ex-
planation for the delay in receiving the
plans. In a letter from the Ministry of
Housing the Blyth Council' learned last
Monday night of the Ministry's concern over
the delay. Council has referred the matter to
the county planning department which is
handling the plan.
Huron County Planning department
director Gary Davidson says he hopes to
have the plan together and into the Ministry
by July 15. The delay has been caused by
the cutbacks in the department and as of
January 1978 some projects had. to be
'helved due to lack of resources,
The poor attendance at the Recreation
Committee meetings was cause for discus-
sion, Many of the activities are now under
the wing of the Arena board which leaves the
Recreation Committee in charge of the
Memorial Hall. Council decided that the bdst
solution for the problem would be the
formation of a Hall Board made up fo
members from interested groups like the
Lions. W.I. and the Blyth Centre for the
Arts, The idea is to be presented to the next
Recreation Meeting to held on the February
26.
Council approved a grant of $50 to St.
Johns Ambulance service and a $25 donation
to the Huron Plowmen's Association. A
request for funds from the Huron County
Historical Society was refused.
The Village weigh scales came under
scrutiny as an inquiry about their sale was
brought up at the meeting. Decision was put
over until March meeting to give the
councillors time to check its condition and
look into the approximate costs of weigh
scales.
More drain problems were brought to
council. Jim Wilson and Lloyd Tasker met
with council to discuss the continual flooding
of their basements on Main Street. Both
have had their cellar drains cleaned re-
peatedly and they have been clogged again.
Ad brings 60calls
So you've often wondered if putting a
classified ad in the blyth Standard was really
worth it.
Well, Mrs, Gayle King of Blyth is proof
positive that advertising in the Standard
does pay off. She. received 60 calls in
response to a classified ad that she placed
in the Blyth Standard asking for people who
could knit socks. She really only needed one
person to do the job since she just wanted
some skiing socks for the family.
A woman from Bluevale who had been up
visiting a relative was reading the paper and
saw Mrs, King's ad and that's the woman
Mrs. King hired to do her knitting.
The total cost of Mrs. King's ad which ran
for a week was $2.00.
Council felt the problem was linked to the
main connection which runs down the centre
of Queen Street. MTC is to be consulted to
schedule a repair work in the spring.
In the meantime the town employees are
to see if they can keep the drain open by the

From Me to You
THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 14, 1979 — 3
Valentine disappointment
BY RHEA HAMILTON
Today is Valentine's Day.
One of the most romantic of
the year if you are not
planning on getting engaged
or married this year,
When 1 was little
Valentine's day was always a
big event. There was a big
rush to get something
prepared for the Valentines
box lunch at school That's
where the boys bought their
girls homemade lunch and
shared it with them. The
frustration came when the
young fellow that you wanted
to buy your lunch was more
interested in someone elses
lunch which was bigger and
sweeter,
I remember the day oh so
well, In grade six you never
forget. The young fellow I
was interested in was the
daredevil of the school yard
and was even so cocky as to
say nice things to some of the
girls and in grade six that
was unusual. I had solicted
mom's help in getting some
extra cakes and cookies made
for the big day and had even
lined the box inside and out
with foil to attract attention.
It was carefully decorated
with cutouts and brilliant red
hearts.
Getting it to school was a
real chore for everyone on
the bus was anxious to tear it
apart to compare contents.
The moment arrived and
the little devil went for the
box that featured a whopping
big slice of chocolate cake
carefully displayed in clear
wrap on top of the box. 1 was
heart broken.
I sat ever so quiet next to
the buyer of my lunch and
hardly touched a thing.
However I can't say the same
for the fellow next to me.
With great gusto he finished
off the contents of the pretty
box without so much as a nod
to me. I supposed at the time
1 should have ignored the one
1 really wanted to have my
Valentine lunch with and
concentrated on the young
fellow beside me, but you
know what they say. Love
is blind,
Another treat of the day
was the giving of Valentines
and better yet receiving
them. 1 would spend hours
the night before making a list
of all my class mates and who
I wanted to give valentines
to.
Then there was the
delightful chore of choosing
which one to give to who.
There were always the
romantic cards that shyly did
not get delivered at the last
moment for fear of having
dreams destroyed by a funny
or cruel remark.
At home we received cards
from my Nana and from our
Aunt Jenny in Toronto. They
were always on time and
never failed to make corning
home extra special knowing
that there was something
important in the mail for
each of us when we got
home.
Even as a teenage
Valentine's day meant reaf-
firming any attachment we

Sunday morning in the
Family Bible Hour, Eric
Campbell set out for discus-
sion of the subject Repent-
ance as a requirement for
salvation from sin, Everyone
became involved discussing
Repentance as it is set forth
in the scriptures as an act of
our will, as a godly sorrow for
sin, turning from our sin to
God - to accept the forgive-
ness He gives us in Christ.
As an outward expression of
our new life we have received
in Christ following repent.'
ance, the believer then obeys
the Word in a public act of
believer's baptism by
immersion, signifying a
death to the old life of
sinning and living a new life
in the resurrection power of
Christ.
Interest in the upcoming
World Mission Conference in
March was heightened when
it was announced that Rev.
James Harman, a leader it

Nigeria, Africa, would be the

had for any young man we
had been seeing a lot of.
Dnce I even received a locket
for Valentine's day. My
mother looked upon it as a bit
extravagent but when one is
sixteen to have made an
issue certainly would have
caused world war 3,
But times change and even
•
with all the stores done up in
red and white, cupids and
lace boxes of chocolates I still
don't really get into the day
like 1 did when I was
younger. The man in my life
says that Valentine's day is
set up to make florists and
card pebple richer. But. 1
think if they day were noted
by more people it may make
one day in the winter seem a
heck of a lot warmer. I mean
if we • can smile and say
merry things at Christmas
time, why not renew some of
the spirit for another day?
However you celebrate
this day enjoy it to its fullest
and Happy Valentine's Day.
HOTDOGS ARE ESPECIALLY GOOD ON A COLD DAY — Annette

Townships are crucial
How effective are the township levels of the Federation of
Agriculture? At the monthly meeting of the Huron County Federation
there was some discussion in small groups about the need for a
township level.
After reporting the federation news for the past few years one
quickly comes to recognize the same members at meetings every
month.
These individuals are the same ones putting a lot of their energies
into federation committees in order to get results that benefit all
farmers whether they attend federation meetings or not.
Some townships are more active than others and there are the few
' which could be termed "dead".
It is from these active townships that the more involved members
come and from these areas highter officials in the Federation are able
to keep a better idea of what the farmers at the grass root levels are
thinking and what they want•
Discontinuing the township levels of the federation would mean the
beginning of a slow death for the federation, a unit which protects and
fights for farmers.
Without the townships and their members there would be no one
to communicate to those farmers interested, on a one to one, basis. It
could end up that the only members left would gradually die off or
retire due to lack of energy.
The township federations should be actively encouraged to have
regular meetings, even a dance or annual meeting for all the township
members and then some, to keep the federation in the minds of the
members.
It was suggested that some of the more active members organize a
meeting with a specific theme in mind or speaker lined up in order to
encourage members to come out. After all, if the meeting has no
speaker or planned agenda then many will consider it boring before
even leaving the barn, and not go.
Farmers need to take a united stand more than ever. Consumers
have united and some of them are suggesting the farmer may have to
eat crow (pardon us farmers) and level off his prices in order to sell
products, in the long run crippling himself.
Apathy is a disease that spreads easily. Without active people
getting others motivated there will never be a squawk out of farmers
when more and more of them are forced out of business and the
remaining ones are left to grow bigger and not necessarily better.

Snowmobilers reply
This message is in reply to a letter the Blyth
Snow Travellers received from the Corp-
oration of the Village of Blyth. The letter was
concerned with the careless manner in which
some snowmobiles are operating around the
village.
The Blyth Club has discussed the matter
and has set these rules. Anyone snow-
inobiling between 1'lp.m, and 1 a.m., please
go straight home quietly; No snowmobiling
on Sunday s around by the churches when
service is in session; also, observe private
property. We hope this will be relayed to our
members of the club and also to the
non-members.

Kevin's heart
Behind the Scenes
by Keith Roulston
The Russian games
I guess if you're a Canadian and your
interested at all in hockey you've got to talk
about the outcome of the Challenge Cup
series on the weekend.
I think both Canadians and Russians
have always looked at our confrontations as
something of a competition between the
two systems and in that battle the Soviets
certainly came out on top, I'm not saying
our system of democracy was found
wanting; I'm saying our hockey system was
found wanting. The Soviets goal in hockey
is to present winners in international play.
Our system is designed to make money for
greedy little men all over North America
but particularly in the United States.
In the play Les Canadiens, playwright
Rick Salution used the history of the proud
Montreal Canadien hockey team as a
parallel to the history of Quebec, I' think
hockey in general can be used as parallel to
Canadian History and just as Canada has
been the victim of foreign economic
domination in nearly every natural re-
source from oil to iron ore, so we are the
victims of foreign ownership of the thing
that comes closest to the national psyche,
our game of hockey. The foreign multi-
national company that owns hockey in this
country is the National Hockey League and
we have been ill served by it.
Just what good have Canadians gotten
from the NHL? Not very much, We have
three teams while the Americans have 14.
Even one of the teams we have got, the one
in Vancouver, one of the most successful
franchises in the league was only admitted
because the' Canadian government and the
Canadian public put the heat on because
the city was left out of the first round of
expansionby greedy owners who sought
big "markets" in the U.S. because they
thought it would bring a big television
contract and plenty of riches. The contract
didn't come and many of the cities picked
turned out to be duds. The owners,
including Canadian owners like the greedy
Harold Ballard, overlooked the real hockey
cities in Canada reaching for the pot of gold
in the U.S.
The rival World Hockey Association was
pretty stupid in many ways over the years
but at least it had the sense to locate teams
in Canadian cities and today of the six team
left, three are in Canada. If Canadians
were really being served by the NHL the
move to amalgamate the leagues to give
Canada six teams would be going ahead
quickly. Yet greedy little men like Ballard
are doing everything possible to prevent
that. Even those in the league who support
the merger want the WHA teams stripped
of all their good players before the merger
takes place.
Probably nothing illustrates the careless
treatment of the Canadian hockey fan by
the NHL more than the Challenge Cup
itself, The NHL didn't have anything to
lose in that series, the Canadian Hockey
fan did. It was the pride of Canada that was
at stake not the pride of the NHL. They
don't have any pride, those owners, just
big pockets, Just take a look at the way
things were set up for the series. The
series was played in New York, once again
because the owners hoped for big tele-
vision revenue and plenty of media
attention. In the long run, they didn't get it
because that game meant nothing to most
Americans while it meant a good deal to
Canadians who could only watch on
television.
Moreover, in their greed and the greed
of men like Alan Eagleson the millionaire
director of the players association, the game
was played by an all star team of players
who had virtually no time to play together
before meeting a top class team, Now if
this had been a truely exhibition series this
would have been all right but by billing the
games as The Series of the Century (no
doubt for more media hype in the U.S.) the
NHL gave it more importance than it
deserved.
Canadians have shown themselves good
losers (we've had plenty of practice) and
haven't used excuses. But let's face it, how
can a team of players who've never worked
together suddenly become a team that can
fairly compete against powerhouse like the
Soviets? If playing together for a long time
really doesn't matter, why did the Soviets
spend more than a month preparing for the
series as a team? Our guys had two short
practices together, It was sheer arrogance
that made Eagleson and the others think
that we could hope to beat the Russians
under the circumstances. The all star team
couldn't have beaten the Montreal

Farmers get together at Blyth
BY DEBBIE RANNEY
For months, now, Tony and the boys have
been getting together every Wednesday to
play a good game of hockey,
They don't belong to any organized league
but are local farmers who can take an
afternoon off to play a game of hockey which
uses no protective equipment and an orange
plastic ball instead of a puck, Organizer of
the games, which just started this year in the
Blyth area, is Tony Van Bake! of RR1, Blyth
who used to play in Mitchell. Most of the
players come up to the Blyth area from
Seaforth where Tony also plays,
Tony moved to the Blyth area two years
ago from the Mitchell area. Although there
are groups playing similar hockey from
Mitchell, Monkton and Seaforth, Tony says
the teams never play against each other
because it would get too complicated,
But just why are a group of young farmers
between the ages of 18 and 30 out on the ice
chasing after that little orange ball?
"To get some exercise," says Tony who
says he never works up a sweat at home in
the wintertime where he runs a pig
operation.
He said the first few times he went out to
play hockey he was short of breath,
Although he contacted people in the Blyth
arca most of the players who come up here
are from Seaforth. Tony speculated that
A good game of hockey
maybe because he's too new in the area and
that people don't know him or might feel
strange coming to play hockey with a bunch
of strangers.
The cost and the time are the main
reasons why many farmers don't play in
organized hockey leagues. The regular
hockey teams usually start earlier in the fall
when farmers are busy and the regular
hockey season ends when most farmers are
into their spring work.
The unusual thing about this hockey team
is that most had never played hockey before.
Tony also goes sometimes to Mitchell and
Seaforth to play hockey but he says the men
are eager enough to come to Blyth. And
Young farmers enjoying battle of the bulge
Blyth's newest business
Auctioneer, husband

Blyth is now home to an antique shop.
operated by an inventive couple.
Dave and Marie Salm are opening an
antique shop out of their home and
Dave specializes in furniture repair. Marie is
also an auctioneer.
The Salms are not new to the Blyth area.
Marie was born in Brussels and raised on a
farm south east of Blyth. Her father, Mike
Cummings of Goderich, is an auctioneer too.
Marie learned auctioneering while a child
,when she was carted off to auctions in a
cardboard box, The trend continues with the
Saints 9 month old daughter Marcia who h
affectionately called the Sales Barn Queen
by her mother.
Dave was born in Kitchener and has
travelled all over) finally settling down in
Blyth. He is a carpenter by trade and worked
at the Harrison furniture plant here in Blyth
several years ago before setting out on his
own,
Before the Salms were married three
years ago, Dave had never been to an
auction sale before,
"He only likes to go if there is something
of interest to him that he really wants" said
Marie, "I really get into the auctioneer part
and enjoy sales."
The front porch of the Salm's home on
Drummond Street has been set aside for the
shop part of their enterprise and DAve has
renovated the garage into a workshop area.
Marie believes that Blyth is going places.
"We think Blyth is going to grow. There is
a lot of summer trade through here with the
many attractions, like the old mills and the
summer theatre has become quite popular,"
Marie said.
"Wednesday night we had a hard time
trying to park in our lane for all the parked
cars," said Marie, "That just shows that a
lot of people come into town,'•'
For a carpenter the winter is a slow time
but Dave keeps busy repairing furniture and
he has a couple of jobs to look forward to in
the spring. Marie isn't wasting a moment
and keeps busy having pieces repaired and
refinished for sale.
Blyth businesses are not confined to the
main through fare but are spreading to the
side streets. The Salms have opened shop
across the street from Snells Grocery.
everyone of them comes from a farm.
"As long as a person is able, they should
keep going at something," says Tony who
also used to play baseball in Dublin in the
summertime,"
The original idea behind the farmers'
hockey seems to be serving its purpose.
"I can keep going out there a lot more,"
Tony said. He also said that another person
had said it made a lot of difference --how it
would be hard on the legs the first time and
the next time it would be that much better.
Besides the physical aspect there's also
one other element that keeps the farmers'
hockey going. "It's lots of fun, too," says
Tony.

HE IS YOUR BROTHER
BY RICHARD PARKER
Mike was too absorbed in
his passion for trains and

much attention to his strange

turned out that Orry in his

in trains. Reluctantly Mike
began to add respect and
love to his feelings for Orry
as comradeship between
them developed.

Lights coming,
Auburn trustees say
The monthly meeting of the village of
Auburn Trustee Board was held last
Saturday evening in the Town Hall, The
chairman Warner Andrews was in charge.
The minutes were accepted as read by the
clerk, Frank Raithby. It was reported that
Auburn would have new lights soon and the
Christmas tree lights were discussed.
A letter was received from the Ontario
Geographic Names Board written at its 26th
meeting, November 22, 1978 concerning the
request of a change of name for the
unincorporated place, Manchester to
Auburn which had been requested on June
23, 1978, This change had been advised by
personnel in 1975 to accord with both
established " local usage and the official
postoffice name - Auburn.
The change has been recommended by
this Board on the information submitted by
the following - G.R. Taylor, OPP Corporal,
Goderich; W.D. Mansell, MNR District
Manager, Wingham; J.K. Scott, Postmaster
Auburn; C. Vincent, Hullett Twp. clerk;
Mrs. W. Thompson, East Wawanosh clerk;
Mrs. J.C. Armstrong, clerk West Wawanosh
Warner Andrews, chairman Police Village
Trustees, Manchester; Frank Raithby, sec-
retary "Village of Auburn" (Police Village of
Manchester unincorporated).
The origin of the name • Auburn • is
unknown but it is thought that early setttlers
gave the post office this name to avoid
confusion with another Manchester in
Ontario.
Information for the research was. used
from the History of Auburn published by the
Auburn Women's Institute and Tackabury's
Atlas of the Dominion of Canada and OGNB
files which cite reference to Manchester
hamlet, Auburn P.O. in "Hermon's 1862,"
As Auburn starts its 125th birthday
celebrations it is very fitting that the official
word has come now that Auburn is to be the
official name from now on. Although the
name Manchester will come up again on
deeds and be recalled several and many
times during the Birthday Party June 29,
July 1 and July 2nd, it is now Auburn,

F of A wants controls
on land ownership
BY ALICE GIBB
The issue of absentee forcigh-owned
farm land is still a matter of concern to the
Huron County Federation of Agriculture,
according to a brief presented to MPP s Jack
Riddell and Murray Gaunt and MP Bob
McKinley at the federation's annual
members' of parliament dinner.
Gerry Fortune, of Wingham, first vice-
president of the organization, told the three
politicians that the organization's concern is
about land owned by people who don't live in
province.
"Enough non-resident foreign ownership
in any one area can affect the whole social
structure of a community," Mrs, Fortune
said, and mentioned decreased population
for use of community schools and hospitals
and lack of buying support for local
businesses as some of thc results of
absentee ownership.
Shc told the members of parliament that
"local residents simply cannot compete with
foreign capital under the present economic
circumstances. The devalued dollar and
lower interest rates offered in other
countries put Ontario buyers at a distinct
disadvantage."
Shc said the danger is that the Canadian
agricultural industry could eventually be-
come foreign -controlled and farmers would
end up growing crops totally unsuited to
Canadian needs, but entirely suitable to
foreign interest for their own export pur-
poses. . ."
In her brief, Gerry Fortune said one
township in Huron County already has just
slightly Icss than 2,000 acres of farmland
owned by pcoplc living outside the country.
To protect farmers from having to
compete with foreign investors, Mrs.
Fortune said, "We need legislation in place
now, while we still have a chance to control a
situation which could escalate faster than the
government could move on short notice."
Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron -Middlesex,
Liberal agriculture critic in the Ontario
legislature said he had already raised the
question of foreign ownership in the
legislature. He said the provincial minister
of agriculture said his department hadn't
been monitoring the situation since a 1973
study found only one . per cent of Ontario
land was owned by foreigners.
Mr. Riddell said the Land Transfer Tax,
passed in 1974, hasn't been an effective tool
in preventing foreign ownership since
foreign buyers simply form a Canadian
company to get around the legislation.
He said William Newman, the minister of
agriculture, has agreed to study the question
of absentee foreign -ownership in two
Ontario counties.
Mr, Riddell said his party has asked that
Huron and Lambton counties be the two
counties where the foreign ownership.
question is studied. He added his own party
would have trouble following up the issue
since "researchers are spread pretty thinly
in the opposition parties."
Murray Gaunt said he had heard land in
many parts of Germany was now scling for
$6,000 an acre , so German buyers are
purchasing land in Canada as an investment.
Jack Riddell told the federation members
he had recently been visited by a London
rcaltor who wanted to know which farms in
Mr, Riddell's arca might be available. The
realtor was representing German money, Mr
Riddell said.
The member of parliament said some
farmers don't sec the foreign ownership
question as a bad thing. They say that the
only way younger farmers can get started
today is to rent land from foreign owners,
Gerry Fortune responded to Mr.
Riddell's comment about his party's
research department by saying, "if you've
ever seen our (the OFA's) rbscarch depart-
ment, you'll know what stretched is ..."
Bev Brown, of Bluevalej a federation
director, asked if the provincial government
is looking at what provinces like
Saskatchewan are doing to limit foreign
ownership.
Mr. Riddell said again that the provincial
minister of agriculture didn't seem to think
the issue was a serious problem,
Ms. Brown responded, "Would it make a
difference if we could prove it was?"
Gerry Fortune said she understood the
province of Quebec was also discussing the
foreign ownership issue, She added, "You
either do something now when you have the
chance or you admit you're willing to allow
our natural resources to be sold."
Frank Falconer, of Tuckersmith Township
one of the guests at the dinner, said he
objected to the foreign ownership issue,
"since half the farmers here in Huron
County arc foreigners." Mrs, Fortune
explained the federation wasn't concerned
about people living in the county, but rather
about foreign investors buying the land and
becoming absentees landlords.
Frank Wall, a member of the OFA
executive, said the result of foreign invest-
ments is "increased land prices for all of us
who are here."
He said farmers have to increase their
price to compete with the large blocks of
foreign money and this eventually will mean
increased prices to the consumer,
He said the federation doesn't mind farm
pcoplc corning in from other countries and
farming the land since "all of us were
imports at one time."
If the federation research does find a
surge of foreign ownership in Ontario
however, Mr, Wall said, then "we can go to
the provincial and federal government and
ask them, what arc you going to do to put a
lid on it?"
He said the absentee foreign -ownership
issue has also surfaced in both Grey and
Bruce counties recently.
Still on the issue of land use, John
VanBcers, of R.R.1, Blyth the regional
director of Huron East Central for the
fcdcration, told thc three members that
farmers arc reluctant to grant anyone access
to their property until changes have been
made to the Petty Trcpass Act.
Under the present act, landowners are
liable for injury to pcoplc such as snow-
mobilers, who arc using their land, Jack
Riddell told federation members a private
members bill to change the act was lost on
the second reading.
Murray Gaunt said the private trespass
bill is coming before the resources develop-
ment committee, which he chairs, in the
near future.

Canadiens in a three game series either.
Although the Canadian hockey fan and
the players suffered, when all is said and
done the loss was probably a good thing for
Canadian hockey, because our system for
training hockey players is not as good in
many ways as it once was. Everything in
our hockey system is geared to pro-
fessionalism today, even in the lowest
reaches of minor hockey. It takes many
dollars to outfit a youngster to play the
game today and then he goes to play in a
half -million dollar arena where ice time
must be rationed to make best use of the 24
hours in a day. Our kids have the best that
money can buy.
But our best players weren't bought..
Gordie Howe and Rocket Richard and the
likes developed their skills though hours of
play on outdoor ponds and rinks where
they were free to learn the basics of the
game, the skating, the stickhandling and
passing.
They developed these skills well because
they had the chance to spend more time on
the icc than they can in our expensive
rinks, They had the priorities right: plenty
of time and plenty of fun, not expensive
uniforms and fancy dressing rooms. We've
got to put more fun back into the game
again if we hope to keep up with the
Russians. And we've got to get control of
our own game again away from the greedy
little men in New York and Boston and
Pittsburgh and Toronto,

EXCHANGING VIEWPOINTS—Robert McKinley (left) MP for Huron
and (right) Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron -Middlesex and Murray Gaunt,

Gunby, president of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, at the F

Farm land can't be urban
dump, F of A tells MP's
BY ALICE GIBB
Environmental issues, including waste
and the need for energy conservation, were
again among the main topics discussed at
the annual members of parliament dinner,
sponsored by the Huron Federation of
Agriculture and affiliated commodity
groups, held in Clinton on Saturday.
Jim McIntosh, of R.R.3, Seaforth an OFA
regional director, told Jack Riddell, MPP for
Huron -Middlesex; Murray Gaunt, MPP for
Huron -Bruce and Bob McKinley, MP for
Huron, that agricultural land can't continue
to be the dumping grounds for urban waste,
Mr, McIntosh said agriculture is Ontario's
biggest industry and the amount of "prime
agriculture land taken for a "dump -site" is
only one of agriculture's major concerns."
The director said an even greater concern is
"the potential time bomb effect these sites
may be to future generations."
Mr. McIntosh said there are already 4,000
known chemical disposal sites in the Great
Lakes basin, which will provide continuous
contamination of the lakes.
Now the question facing society is how
many more dangerous chemicals are being
dumped into land fill sites, Mr. McIntosh
said. He told the three politicians that
PLUARG researchers have stated there' are
300 to 500 new organic compounds ap-
pearing on the market every year, while no
rigid testing program for the chemicals
exists.
Pointing out that pesticides must pass
rigid tests before they can be used on farms,
Mr. McIntosh called for more research into
the effects of the chemicals being disposed
of in dump -sites.
"In the next 10 to 20 to 50 or 100 years,
these chemicals could enter the ground
water and chemically poison many
thousands of acres of farm land for future
food production, or by being in the ground
water, poison many farm supplies, "the
director said.
Mr. Mclntosh called for more government
research to determine ways to safely recycle
the chemicals or convert them to products
that are safe for the environment.
Murray Gaunt said he agreed with Mr.
Mclntosh that "industry should test as
vigorously and actively as agriculture is
testing." He said as of Jan. 1, 1980, the
Ministry of Environment is banning all new
liquid industrial dump sites. However, he
said some of the present sites will continue
in use after 1980, if they are considered safe.
Mr. Gaunt told the federation members
that recycling is certainly the answer to the
problem of waste but "there are some very
real problems in recycling, due to the cost,
not the technology."
Mr. Gaunt said the technology is there to
transform some waste products into neutral
blocks by adding chemicals. He said a Fort
Erie company wanted' to build a plant to
transform waste materials into building
materials, but the council turned down the
proposal.
Bob McKinley said before the government
funds expensive pilot projects to look into
waste disposal, they should check whether
similar projects have already been carried
out in other countries.
Jack Riddell the Liberal agriculture critic in
the legislature said protecti6n of the
environment is one of the greatest dangers
facing government and industry today and
gadded if emissions from industries aren't.
controlled, "48,000 of our lakes in northern
Ontario will be pretty well destroyed to the
point where we can't bring them back."
From the farmer's viewpoint, Mr. Riddell
Jack Van Wonderen, of the Goshen Line
representing the Stanley Township
Federation of Agriculture, also presented a
brief dealing with an environmental issue.
He spoke about the transition. in
ano buggy to "big tractors gulping in excess
of seven gallons of fuel an hour..." Now Mr,
Van Wonderen pointed out, the farm
community is faced with the problem of
fossil fuels becoming scarcer and more
expensive while farmers must keep their
machinery going to compete on the market.
He called for more research by
Agriculture Canada into alternative forms of
energy which can be used to operate farm
machinery.
Both Bob McKinley and Murray Gaunt
agreed that more research was needed into
the question of fossil fuels and agriculture.
Mr. Gaunt said the United States and
Canada already face the possibility of fuel
rationing due to the instability in Iran. He
said this situation "makes us realize how
dependent we are on fossil fuels."
Tony McQuail, of the Lucknow area
another federation director, also made a plea
for less dependence on fossil fuels, saying
"the days of cheap, unlimited energy are
past."
Mr. McQuail suggested the government
could encourage, the development of alter-
native approaches by maintaining the best
agriculture land for agriculture; by en-
couraging more co-operation among farmers
in sharing machinery; and by ensuring
farmers get enough return on their invest-
ment to spend money on new technology and
to experiment with new approaches.
Mr. McQuail said more emphasis should
be placed on cropping systems which require
fewer non-renewable energy outputs. He
also called for a new program of farmer
instigated energy research to respond to
situations encountered by the farm
population. He recommended grants of up to
$10,000 to assist farmers in experimenting
with alternate energy forms. Both
Agriculture Canada and O.M.A.F. could
then keep farmers posted on the con-
servation and renewable energy techniques
developed under the program, Mr. McQuail
said.
Murray Gaunt complimented Mr.
McQuail on his own experiments with
energy conservation and told the audience
that the Lucknow-area farmer is installing a
wind generator on his farm and hopes to
feed excess power back to Ontario Hydro
from the generator.
The Huron -Bruce MP' also said if the
capital grants program is renewed by the
government, it will operate in a different
form, and might apply to projects like the
one Mr. McQuail had undertaken.

the members of the Freedom of Choice were
willing to leavuThe Diviners off the approved

decided to ask the board to re -instate The

Board chairman John Elliott was not

asked the board for a motion to receive and

Elliott indicated later that his intention was
to have the request dealt with according to

The chairman said the board had adopted

recall the day I took my
Son to apply for his drivesrs
permit, at the Driver examin-
ation center. He made appli-
cation for an instruction
permit so he could receive
driving training. Dad
planned to give him his
instruction in driving. He
received a booklet entitled
"The [)river's I -landbook."
The first page carried a
"Message to the Motorist",
by the Minister of 'transport
for Ontario, As I read his
message, I was surprised to
see the application that could
he made to us who are
travellers in time.
The message urged the
driver to become familiar
with the rules of the road and
the accepted practices for
good driving. The motorist
was encouraged to become
thoroughly familiar with this
information so that he may
become a safe driver, avoid
accidents and be able to
contribute to the smooth and
orderly movement of traffic.
In order to protect himself
and make driving safe and
pleasant for other motorists
he was reminded of his
responsibility to know and
obey the traffic rules and
law.

The Huron County Board
of Education decided
Tuesday a $4,700 voice to the
ministry of education was too
expensive, The board
decided not to renew its
membership in the Ontario
School Trustee's Council
(OSTC) the official pipeline
to the minister of education
for school boards in the
province.
Membership in OSTC has
been a contentious issue with
the board for the past year,
When the $4,700 member-
ship came due in 1978 former
Goderich trustee Cayley Hill
suggested the board shy
away from joining. Hill said
at the time that the board
faced a very tight monetary
situation in the next few
years claiming the money
could be better spent. He
told the board that teachers
had been requesting new
equipment for technical and
commercial classrooms
pointing out that the $4,700
could "buy a " lot of type-
writers",
Shirley Hazlitt, trustee for
Goderich township, de-
fended membership in OSTC
when Hill suggested the
board get out. Hazlitt said at
that time that the conference
for new trustees sponsored
by the council was very worth
while and she felt the board
should remain a member of
the council,
Ha zlitt has come full circle,
Tuesday she made the re-
commendation that the board
get out of OSTC, She said
she felt the board voice to the
minister of education
through OSTC was "not very
loud and not very clear" and
recommended that the board
not join this year.
Dorothy Wallace,
Goderich trustee, reminded
the board that membership
in the council may be in the
board's best interest, She
said teachers are organized
in groups and they are forced
to join their respective
groups whether they like it or
not, She pointed out that
teacher organizations have
considerable clout politically
and if the board ever
wanted to use council
services to strengthen a case
it would have to remember it
"wasn't pulling its weight",

New shots
for hay fever
A new vaccine has been
developed for the specific
treatment of hay fever
caused by Eastern Ragweed,
Called Pollinex-R, the ther-
apy requires only four inject
ions instead of the traditional
program of up to 20 inject-
ions over a period of six to
eight months.
Developed by the Bencard
Allergy Service Division of
Beecham Group, Pollinex•R
has been tested by Canadian
clinical investigators since
1976, and found to be very
effective for the majority of
the patients participating in
the trials.
The vaccine utilizes a
glutaraldehyde -modified pol-
len extract which is absorbed
on to tyrosine, a naturally
occuring amino acid.
Through this process, im-
munization can be achieved
with only four doses. This is
a reduction in the total pollen
extract administered, and
provides a diminished risk of
sensitivity reactions,
Annually affecting an
estimated 250,000 Canadians
in the arca between Windsor
and Quebec City, ragweed

part in the numerous get-
togethers.
In his opinion, Madills
only fault is the lack of school
spirit. Dale thinks this is
mainly due to the wide range
of communities from which
many students originate. The
rural students do not join
teams because of the in-
ability to find transportation
to their homes. Most of the
rural students have teams in
their communities and play
against many of the other
towns' teams whose mem-
bers also attend Madill.
All and all, this year
should prove to be intriguing
and with Dale's contributions
exciting! From all the wishes in the endeavours he
students of Madill come best attempts.

Has art show
The Gallery/Stratford is
pleased to announce the
opening of the exhibition
"Folk Art of Hungary"
which was organized by the
A.r I Gallery of Cobourg. The
exhibition is receiving assist-
ance from the Department of
External Affairs and the
national Museum of Man. It
is the first major showing of
the traditional arts of Hung-
ary to be seen in Canada.
The show will include fine
examples of textiles, furn-
iture, ceramics, as well as a
complete peasant home int-
erior. Folk Art refers to the
indigenous, often local, pro-
duction and decoratiok of
objects that are used in the
everyday lives to people.
Objects may vary in use from
kitchen utensil, to bridal
dress, to items used in
religious ritual, and receive
decorative attention and
handling appropriate to their
social and functional import-
ance. The wonder and charm
of the works is that within a
"folk" context where form,
motif, design and even col-
our are strictly prescribed by
tradition, there is such a
wide variety of decorative
styles and spontaneity of
expression. The show prom-
ises a view of the heritage of
a rural art tradition that has
effectively disappeared. The
exhibition is accompanied by
a trilingual catalogue -French
English, Hungarian -that des-
cribes and illustrated the
collection.

OPP using
unmarked cars
O.P.P. Commissioner
H.H. Graham announced,
that effective February 5th, a
stepped up enforcement pro-
gram utilizing unmarked
police cars equipped with
radar has been implemented.
This departure from
established O.P.P. policy is
an all out effort to reduce the
incidence of death and in-
juries on our highways. In
the past radar speed de-
tecting equipment was
generally used in the familiar
black and white cruisers
equipped with roof mounted
• lights and antennae, both
types of police cruisers will
now be used.
CommissiopeL Gtahajn
said a recent pilot project in
Western Ontario was very
effective. Commiccinner
Graham emphasized that he
is confident the motoring
public support this venture,
as the force has received
many complaints of
speeding, tailgating and un-
safe lane changes, etc.,
including many involving
commercial vehicles and
buses,

20 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 14, 1979
Sugar & Spice
by Bill Smiley
1've bitten my lip until I drew blood, I've
tried not to let the hurt show, But my close
friends have noted something behind the
too -bright smile, the overly -casual manner.
So I might as well let it out. No use getting
an ulcer.
I felt slighted to the point of humiliation
when Ed Schreyer was named Governor-
General instead of me.
I wasn't too disappointed when Trudeau
passed me over for the Senate, 1 wasn't old
enough, decrepit enough, or liberal enough.
But I didn't think his petty vindictiveness
would go so far as to overlook nie for the
G,G.'s job. ,lust because I've written a few
columns suggesting that Pierre Elliott is
something Tess than the Second Coming,
There were only the two of us in the
running, obviously, but I can't figure out
why the Prime Minister turned his back on
me. Perhaps to garner a Few hunched votes
in the west, which is probably all he'll get,
,come June.
I have nothing whatever' against Ed
Schreyer as a person. I don't believe in
mudslinging, even when it comes to 0
slinging, even when it comes to 0 sinecure,
13ut let's look at the record, and you May
begin to understand my bewilderment at
•frucleau's mistake oI' the century.
Ed Schreyer is 0 politician• Governors -
General should not he ex -politicians, I urn
not now, never have been, and never will be,
a politician. Score one for nie.
Ed Schreyer is too young. Governors.
General should be t•airly ancient, and look
wise even if they aren't. I ani in my prime,
and by the end er niy term would be
approaching the drooling earnestness that
my speech -writers would prepare for nu.
And for the second part of the above
qualification, I ant perfect for the part, i can
look as wise as an owl about things in
general, while having the intelligence of a
rabbit about same. Score two.
Ed Schreyer is a family Man. So ani 1. But
I'll bet my kids were a lot more rotten than
his are, ,id I 'coped with them, And how
many grandchildren docs Mr. Schreyer
have? I wonder if Trudeau gave any thought
to the millions of grandparents in this
country, when he made his abominable
choice?
Is Ed Schreyer a war veteran? Well, I am,
'i'here goes the whole Legion vote, Trudeau,
which you might have got if you'd had your
head screwed on right.
It is now 4-0 for me, Do you begin to
understand my astonishment when the no
doubt worthy, but undistinguished Mr. S.
was chosen over me.
Ed Schreyer was a failure. He couldn't
hang onto his premier's job, I have never
failed at anything. 1 gained niy pilot's wings
in WW 2, took an honours degree in the
toughest course in University, was a
successful, if poor, weekly editor, have risen
to the astronomic height of department head
in a high sc',jol, and have been honoured as
Outstanding Columnist in Canada, 5.0,
Ed Schreyer is single-minded in politics.
An Endcepec-er. I have voted for all three
major parties, some of them several times,
Though not a politician, 1 have been closely
involved in politics. i have been publicity
man for a liberal, an NDP hopeful, and a
Tory. The Liberal won twice, Both the other
guys lost. It's obvious Trudeau didn't check
my dossier.
Much attention has been given to the fact
that Mr. Schreyer has an ethnic German -
Austrian ancestry, So what? 1 ani not from
one of the so-called founding races either.
Scottish, Irish and a little splash. of Danish
when some sailors were wrecked in the
Hebrides a couple of centuries ago. That
sure ain't British nor French.
Speaking of French, does Mr. Schreyer
have any bonds with Quebec? Well, I have.
Both my parents were born and grew up
there. My mother spoke fluent French. And
spent the first two years of niy life in
Shawville, Pontiac County, Quebec, Never
mind that there was not 0 Jew, a Chinaman,
nor a Frenchman in the village, It was still in
Quebec.
Perhaps you think that, as a formew•
politician, Mr. Schreyer knows more about
patronage than I do. Nonsense, When i was
the lineman on the dear old Hamonic on the
Great Lakes, before she was burned at the
dock at Sarnia, I knew the ropes. Give the
Chinese cooks a couple extra bath towels a
week, and you ate better than the
passengers.
I don't want to go on and on like this,
pointing out Mr. Trudcau's folly and Mr,
Schreyer's shortcomings. But it is a fact that
I am better known in Canada, except amonj
media and politicians, than he. Ask anyone
in Kamloops or Moosomin or Sutton or
Bridgewater, They've never heard of him,
,lust a few loose ends. Does Mr. Schreyer
have a son who is devoting his life to the
spiritual welfare of the Third World, and
speaks five languages? Or a daughter who
can wheedle thousands out of her father
without even asking? Or two grandchildren
who can reduce a fine old house into ar
ancient ruin in two weeks? Let him answer
that.
He has a good-looking wife who cooks
exotic European dishes. 1 have a beautiful
wife whose grilled pork chops with canned
mushroom soup spread on top make you
weep with gastronomic delight.
Score? About 14-0. it was a sorry day for
Trudeau when he mistook gold lettering for
solid gold.
