Varieiv Show March 28 If you are looking for a way of clearing away those post -winter blues, the Variety Show planned for Wednesday, 28th of March at Blyth Hall should be the answer. An evening of music, song and dance, presented by several talented young local people, in aid of U.N.I.C.E,F,, promises to be well worth attending. Jim Lawrie will M.C. the show, with offers performers of such calibre as Danny Lear, Kim Craig, Darlene Wesselink, and many others. The variety night had originally been designated as a fund-raising night by Blyth Centre for the Arts to help out in financing ' the summer program. However, as this is the International Year of the Child, the directors decided to turn over all profits to U.N.1.C.E.F. as part of this community's contribution to the needs of children elsewhere. The organizers are hoping to see a packed hall in support of both U.N.I.C.E.F and the young performers who are offering their talent. Huron seem to have that quality and Jim Phelan of RR 2 Blyth is the third Huron County member to be elected President of the provincial organization in the past seven years.

Dan Sargent of Blyth which were taken of the lifestyle and hardships he and his family encountered during the six years they lived in Northern Ontario. Rev. Sargent's work among the native Indian people there certainly must have been a rewarding challenge.

But not this week, The opposite is true, so I'll just mention a few things that may amuse of confuse you.

Friday night Belgrave was licking up the ice with the opposite team membersand I spoke to the proud grandparents of three of the Belgrave players. They were cheering on the sidelines and a small sister was watching for highsticking. With three grandchildren playing hockey, thank goodness, all were on the same team or there may have been a cheering problem. The one 1 remember watching was Jeff, (He had his name tacked onto the back of his helmet,) Belgrave youngsters won the championship and they sure worked for it, Blyth came in a close second and won the consolation trophy. Their picture will be in the paper next week. We also attended the wedding of some near and dear friends and although 1 felt March a morbid month for a wedding it appears that for the Irish that is the only time. The young couple were bedecked in the traditional wedding attire complete with shamrocks and green leprechauns. It stems that now with the house and jobs eating up our time we sec very few of our old friends. Receptions are always a great place to renew old friendships and make new ones. So I saw so many of my school mates who had changed very little in the last 6 years. And for a bit of news Monday evening Klaus and 1 attended a meeting at Adrian Vos's where a professor and his student asked us questions concerning our rights and complaints as consumers, I was under the impression it was part of a study for the Rural Development Outreach project in Wingham and answered the questions accordingly. During the first half hour of conversation I felt that according to the eight of us the rural consumer seems much more relaxed about consumer problems. Many of us believe that it is a consumer beware world and we take it upon ourselves to investigate problems or research products before making a major purchase or hassling government about our problems. Government services left one or two a bit fretful but nothing that could not be handled at home. Trust in local merchants and service people came high and it was this trust that seems to keep the market place honest in small areas. The remarks were well thought out and yet were spontaneous. I wonder if our answers would have had more depth as far as complaints went if we had known just what was going to be asked of us. The professor taped the conversations and at the end of the evening informed us that we had just taken part in a study for the federal department of Consumer and Corporate Affairs. In case you don't know off hand just what the consum ers department has done for you, take a look at the clothing you wear.

Here at the Blyth Standard we are always glad to hear of events going on In our community and welcome anyone with news tips or information that will make the paper a better conveyor of local news for everyone. But there always comes a time when we get a phone call in which the caller is hesitant to tell us something of newsworthy importance for fear the price may be too high. To get your news in the paper costs nothing. That's right! There are somethings in life that are still free, unless popularity is considered a price for news coverage. You often hear of the joke that the husband or wife is always the last to know. Well, too often the press is the last to know about an important happenings because the participients neglected to give us a call. Things have been looking up in Blyth. Concerned people have been bringing in news about hockey games, figure skating reports, and community improvement groups. The ladies church groups have kindly kept the public informed of their business which concerns us all who live here. • We have been doing more features on local talented people and appreciated tips about other interesting people who live among us. You may not believe it but there are many talented people hiding in the recesses of our community who deserve the recognition for their work. Your paper is the best place to bring news.

Timbrell: re Hospi- tal Bed Closures On behalf of the 19 nursing assistant students training at Wingham & District Hospital I am writing to you to let you know of the concern we have for the hospital bed closures. It not only affects staff, patient's having to go to larger cities, the medical. profession, the economic cut back in money to the com- munity but also to the nursing school and the stu- dents. The nursing assistant program at Wingham is the . only one in Huron County and I'm proud to say it rankt as one of the finest in Ontario. We, as a group, can't understand that with Wing - ham's lower cost per bed (lower than other hospitals) have to be cut. "Where are the savings?!” This hospital was built by the community and all of the sudden the people of the community don't have say! WHY?? Our population of senior citizens is 13.8% Compare this with other areas. We are the only hospital within a 25 mile radius and not infring- ing nfringing on any other. Please reconsider, taking into ac- count the cost in terms of dollars, emotional tension, and time, and when people in this area have to travel to larger centres for care, Come and live in our area! Try on of our winters when you are snow -bound for a week!

This Is a public service announcement sponsored by The Blyth Standard and written by the Blyth Fire Chief Irvine Bowes. The first snowdrops Yes they are there! Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Pass the buck Everybody wants to stop inflation but nobody wants to be the first sucker. We're into another round of "I've got to catch up" in the income sweepstakes, Right now its the doctors who are causing the fuss. They're pulling out of the provincial health insurance program in record numbers because they don't feel they're being allowed to earn enough. A growing number are getting out of Canada altogether because Canada's government- controlled medical system doesn't allow the huge incomes that doctors can earn in the U.S. where doctors can charge anything they want, To their benefit, at least the doctors aren't arguing that they're on the verge of starvation and need more income, like some others in the wage and salary battle have. Their argument instead is that they are falling behing the incomes of other pro- fessionals. You'll remember that ' as the argument of the teachers a while back too (although many of them also made it sound like they were wasting away to skin and bones because they couldn't afford to eat), The teachers considering themselves professionals looked at the salaries of doctors and lawyers and engineers and felt they were as important to society as the better paid professionals. TEACHERS So with the gigantic jump in salaries teachers pulled closer to the incomes of professionals a couple of years back, though still a long way from what doctors and lawyerswere getting. But now doctors can take a look back and see teachers gaining on them and they feel they should be maintaining their former wide gap. They need more money, They also take a look and see lawyers, with whom they once shared the top income group, moving ahead because lawyers salaries are un- controlled. Lawyers can charge whatl they want and as the dominant group in governments they also promote their own profession by making laws so complicated that only lawyers can decode them. It's as if doctors could pass a law that said everyone had to go to the doctor twice a week. But somewhere, sometime, something has to give, We can't keep up with this system where part of the population sees others ahead of them and says "I deserve as much as that guy" while the guys that are out front say " I've always earned Nice as much as that guy so if he gets $1000 more I've got to get $2000." What's the answer? Frankly I dont • know, I don't see why people should expect to always be rich just because of their profession. I don't see what lawyers do for the benefit of society that makes lawyers were given unrestricted incomes then doctors, who are of far more benefit • should get as much or more. But then if we're going to pay according to the benefit to society, the farmer should be the guy on top because all the medical skills in the world wouldn't allow doctors to save the lives of people starving to death, and lawyers wouldn't make much money off people who had to steal bread jut to stay alive. And where would that leave people like me? Some people would say that writers and artists make a very valuable con• tribution to society while others claim we're just bums who are too lazy to go out and get a real job digging ditches or something. Who's to make the judgement of what value each person's contribuion to society? THE SQUEEZE So we come back to the present system where the guy that gets the most money is the guy who can put the squeeze on society the hardest. Lawyers control the number of people allowed to enter law school so that there are always just enough, or perhaps too few lawyers to go around, Thus they can agree on law fees and keep them high enough and keep enough customers corning in the door to keep incomes up. In any other business this would be called restraint of trade, but not among lawyers. And because our society is so complicated, we need a' lawyer for nearly any legal transaction, Doctors used to play under the same kind of rules. But then somebody came up with the idea that medical aid was too important to be given only to those with money. We came into socialized medicine and suddenly the amount of money doctors earned was controlled, unless they' stepped out of the insurance program and billed their patients directly so they could charge more than the government would pay. That they are now doing at a rate that alarms many people,.. One of the ironies of the present situation, however, is the solutions that have been proposed by several unions. Spokesmen for several unions have demanded that the government take action to forced all doctors to remain within the government medical plan. This, in effect, is forcing the doctors to accept whatever the government wants them to make, If that kind of proposal was made to any union the screams would be so loud you'd think someone was torturing thezmRe- member how hard the unions have fought to get and keep the right to strike for government employees? Ah, but now the shoe's on the other foot• Human beings, we're a strange lot, Books at the Library THE KUTZOV HAUL BY MICHAEL KERR Henry Kutzov was a fore- most jeweller ,who specialized in jewelled orna- ments, representing insects, particularly scorpions.

From Me to You (Continued from Page 3) product is washable were instigated by the Consumer department as one of the many aids to shopping we can credit them with, However the department has run into some snags since a bill was passed that claimed all consumers are equal. The government has undertaken a study to find out if there are differences and if so, what they are, Ten groups were questioned in Toronto and nine in Huron county, With these tapes many will study the answers we gave and come up with some reasonable estimate of what makes rural shoppers differ from urban ones, Another thought that came to mind at the close of that informative meeting was would the questions about satisfaction with products or services have differed if the farmers had just finished planting and had run into their old problems of battles with manufacturers with obsolete parts and instruments, If you have had a good week or if nothing has come up in the last few months to take you into court over a consumer problem there just may be many more satisfied consumers than we bkelieve, When all has been said and done it is reassuring to know that the government machine does listen in some small way to the crys from the wilderness and that we had part in the recording of it, THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 21, 1979 — 5 BPS news Winners of the Blyth•Hul- let Public Speaking Contest were as follows: Karen Cald- well -first -Gr. 7 and 8, Garth Wittich and Susie Walsh were tied for second in the Gr, 4.6 division, (Continued on Page 12; PROSPECTIVE SKATERS - Students from Hullett Central school unloaded off the buses in a hurry Friday afternoon In Blyth to be among the first on the ice.

She wrote it; I just listen and make critical comments. We've had a few laughs. Her speech is in praise of travel in Canada, instead of taking our lame dollars off and spending them on the often spurious attractions of other countries. It's a sort of travelogue of Canada, and sounds pretty good. But at one point she broke me up. We have just crossed the Ottawa River from Quebec and are cruising around the capital, "where dwell," according to the speech, "our Prime Minister, ambassadors from all over the world, and..." She slurred the "ambas- sadors" a bit, and it came out, "Our Prime Minister, bastards from all over the world..." 1 couldn't agree more. Another one that shook me up was when she said that, "Canada is more than 'a few acres of snow', as the French writer, Voltaire dismissed it." Voltaire came out as Volare. The powers of television! However, one point in her speech got me thinking along a different track. She pointed out that, despite the vast variety of vistas this country offers the tourist, it is expensive to travel in this Canada of ours. Too true. Hotels and motels are ridiculously costly Many of the big new hotels in the cities want an arm and a leg for a place to lay your head for a few hours. Motels want from $20 to $36 for a plastic room, no room service, often not even a place to get a cup of coffee, and get out by one p.m., no matter what time you checked in. Restaurants in this country are equally usurious, with a very few exceptions. I don't mind going out and spending a day's pay at a good restaurant, with suave service, food carefully chosen and cooked with care, and nobody hustling you out the minute you've sipped your last. drop of fifty -cent coffee. But it burns my butt to be served a leathery omelet with the inevitable piece of limp lettuce, the inexorable one slice of green house tomato, and the ubiquitous helping of french fries, none of which you want, and charged enough to feed a fair-sized family a good meal, at home. No wonder so many restaurants and bars go broke. The business is so profitable that too many people want into it, and the law of supply and demand looks after the rest. Travel in this country is equally unappealing. Internal airfares are ridic- ulously high. It costs almost as much to fly from Toronto to Vancouver as from Toronto to London, England, a thousand miles or more. Trains are a dying species. They have lost their old grace of service, good food and excitement, cut off all their branch lines, and become a rather wistful anachronism for people who like rough road -beds, frequent break -downs and abandoned stations, Buses are better. Some have crept into the twentieth century with air-conditioning heat in the winter, and fairly punctual time -tabling. But all this is ruined by the bus depots, which arc pure 1970s Sleaze, diry, impersonal, and with the inevitable drunk sounding off. Or throwing up. Another aspect of travelling in Canada that puts people off is the service, or lack of it. There's very little service with a smile. Too often it ranges from grudging to surly, from indifferent to sullen. Waitresses slop coffee into your saucer or wipe off your plastic table with a dirty damp rag. Waiters stand with their backs to you when you are in a rush to catch a plane. Hotel doormen are all smiles when you are checking -in, and non-existent when you are struggling out with three heavy bags. Hotel clerks are almost invariably insolent, exuding the atmosphere that they are doing you a favour by letting you sign in. Car jockeys come squealing up to the front door of the hotel, jump out, hand you your keys with one hand while holding the other out, and disappear to let you, with your bad back, load the bags into the trunk. You can spend ten minutes looking for a clerk in a supermarket. You could spend the rest of your life looking for a porter at an airport. You can turn purple in the face waiting for service in a department store, while two clerks chat about their night out at the singles club, and a third burbles away on the phone to her boyfriend. Occasionally you get a genuine smile or a real thank you, but more often they are perfunctory or non-existent. Why? Is it that native-born Canadians ; feel themselves above the service trades, so that they take out their resentment on their customer. Is that why most jobs in these fairly lucrative trades are held by immigrants? Is that why our minority of good restaurants are operated by immigrants. Julie is right. The country is magnifi- cent. But high prices, bad food and bad manners make it less than a paradise for travellers.

Knowing that if she could find the landmark cross on the hill, she could get home, she asked a police- man to direct her to it, So it is with Calvary's Cross that saves us from getting lost spiritually. The sermon entitled, "The Victory of the Cross" stated that the Cross defeats both the devil and death itself. It is our V -Day. Harv, McDowell, George Wasson, Hubert Hobo, Everett Hesscls and Earl Fyfe were in charge of we- lcoming and ushering. Nancy Pawich was in charge of Junior Congregation. Prayers were offeteci for the many member sick at this time. On request of Rev, Wittich, Rev. Toni Smith, a visitor, pronounced- the benediction.
