She is perhaps best known for her work as an actress on C.B.C. television in the series "A Gift To Last" and in specials such as The Masseys and in theatre at the Shaw Festival where she played Major Barbara in 1978. She has also played many important roles with Theatre Passe Muraille in the past. It was for her ability as a director, however, that Ms. Amos was chosen for the Blyth position. She has previously directed plays in Toronto and at the 1977 Blyth Summer Festival. Mrs. Sheila Richards, president of the board of directors of the Blyth Centre, said it was Ms. Amos' feeling for the region served by the theatre and her commitment to the unique mandate of the Blyth Festival that was the deciding factor in her choice from a list of strong candidates. Although Toronto -born, Ms. Amos has had a strong contact with the area served by the Blyth theatre since 1972 when she was a member of the Theatre Passe Muraille company that put together The Farm Show near Clinton, a few miles away. She has since returned with several other productions and is also married to an area native, Ted Johns,who wrote and perfor- med the 1978 Festival hit production, The School Scandal. Ms. Amos said she would lil(e to carry on and build upon the foundation built by Mr. Roy and his wife Anne who have directed the Festival since its inception in 1975. Mr. Roy set the policy of producing Canadian plays of specific interest to the small town and rural audience of the Western Ontario region. "1 feel that it's connection with the community and the way it reflects both the community and the country makes it one of the most exciting theatres anywere," Ms, Amos said, As associate director she • will work closely with Mr. Roy this summer to !familiarize herself with the operation in preparation for assuming artistic director- ship in September. Ms. Amos is also a member of the Advisory Council of the Canada Council 'and of the Canadian Actors' Equit y Association Council. the tandard WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1979 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: 25 Cents City people don't hear farm. story, Lions told Although a lot of city people are not blaming farmers for rising food costs they are still not hearing the farmer's story, Speaker Bev Brown to d Blyth Lions and their rural guests Thursday night. Ms. Brown was guest speaker at the Lions Farmers' night. Besides entertaining them with her story of coming from Toronto to farm, she left the members with some food for thought. When Ms. Brown and her partner marketed their first pork weanlings they had estimated just how much they should receive, for their product. They did not receive enough Ms. Brown reported, but they had to sell as there was another lot of weanlings coming along the line. "It certainly is a strange way to market your product." said Ms. Brown. "If the system is so good why doesn't GM. auction off their cars every Friday at the local corner?" Ms. Brown stated that although marketing boards are certainly not perfect they were working at it. Ms. Brown has become active in the Huron Federation of Agriculture and is at present their second vice president. Ms. Brown noted that some communities are not receptive Ito the rural way of life around them and this causes a lot of problems. "1 don't undcrstan-1 why this happens." said Ms. Brown "!s it possible to do anything about it?"

The Country Guest Home was started about four and a half years ago by Marie Rammeloo of R.R.2, Blyth. She said that after her mother-in-law died her hus- band's father came around a lot helping to feed the chickens and that's when she decided she could make a go of looking after older people. Even so, it took her a year to get her first guest. Her doctor got her the first patient and from then on it has just been by word of mouth. Mrs. Rammeloo takes care of people who can't take care of themselves anymore and she tries to make them as comfortable as they would be in their own home. "We do everything for them. We try to make them a variety of nice meals, an d wash their hair. We do hair every week for the ladies, everything that needs to be done," Mrs. Rammeloo said. One week recently four people in their nineties 1 celebrated bithdays. Currently there are 15 people staying at the guest home and after the Rammeloos move out and into their new house down the road there will be room for more. ,Most of the residents watch or listen to televeision, .(Continued on Page 5) Inside the Standard: Maitland Valley head,guest speaker at W.I.

P. 12 2 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 28, 1979 From the minister's Itudy Dear 20th century man Dear Twentieth Century Man 1 am always dismayed by those who in one breath can scoff at spiritual realities; calling them superstitious notions, unacceptable to "enlightened 20th Century people"; but with the next breath ask me what atrological sign 1 was born under. The logic, which escapes me, is that it seems ridiculous to these people that God can and does intervene in a person's life, but that the position of certain planets and constellations in the sky can determine personality. Some people have become so enchanted by these* notions that they will not set foot outside their door until they consult the newspaper astrologes, and see what's in store for them today. Sadly, astrology has become a cult which attracts millions of people. Some are mere dabblers, like the Christmas -Easter Christians, but too many others are ardent adherents who look to the stars for guidance and answers, The sale of Quiji boards and Tarot Cards has become big business; and soothsayers, mediums, and fortunetellers, are no longer merely side-show attractions. Even though the Bible warns us against these things and Jesus denounces them along with the other vain and deceitful worldly philosophies which would lead astray; these who even put little stock in them defend them as harmless hobbies. "Oh 1 just do it for fun" they say, "but my horoscope did say I would make a trip in the near future, and you know, the very next day I had arranged to go over to Ethel to visit a friend". One dear lady even told me that 1 was the fulfillment of her astrological prediction which said that an important person would visit her that day. I wasn't flattered. Even 5 foot blond salesmen will be interpreted as tall dark strangers by those who are looking for confirmations. We have even come to accept the Church of Satan as just another religious denomination to be listed in the Church Directory. "Whatever turns you on" is our motto, and "Do unto others before they do it unto you" is the 20th Century Golden Rule. Perhaps I should not be shocked by all this,. but I am, "Dear 20th Century people: don't look to the heavens for answerssLook to, .yravpn Get eye injuries looked at St. John Ambulance advises you that eye injuries need medical attention as soon' as possible.

I have seen several signs of spring and have confirmed my latest suspi- cian that winter was not really that bad and is definit- ely on the way out If we can get more of that beautiful sunshine and balmy weather then we can start getting ready for the blessed summer season, Spring always seems to burst upon me. When I let the dogs out for a run this week the bush was a chorus of singing. It made me think of how quiet winter really is. Of course the starlings were the loudest with their whist- ling and chattering. Amid their racket you could hear the robins, meadowlarks, kildcers and red winged black birds. I also thought I could hear tree toads but it may be a little soon for that. I also spotted some geese and a groundhog. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 28, 1979 — 3 Spring really is coming One quick walk around the house with my housecoat flying told me that since last weekend the tulips had bro- ken through the surface and the buds on the currant bushes were swollen, soon to break. Another sign around our place that spring is in the air is the house plants. You wonder if some can hold on till spring when you can put them outside where they •enjoy living so much more. And then there are the ones who do nothing all winter long and when they know spring is here send up new shoots or bloom the brightest flowers you have ever seen. One of the greatest pleas- ures of having a small greenhouse is the wonder of watching small seedlings come up. In a matter of days the frames are green with shoots of lettuce, broccoli, leeks and dill. 'this year I was really CWL discusses words to use The monthly meeting of St. Michaels' Catholic Women's League met at the home of Therese Machan. The theme of this month's meeting was "Words to use." President Margaret Phelan gave a reading on words you should and should not use, followed by a reading by Jo Cronin. The roll call was answered by the members giving an example of something nice they could say, to replace a degrading remark. Treasurer Mary Ha I lahan gave a report of finances. Correspondence dealt with a thank you for donation received by "The Church - '1'.V. Program". Word was received from Windsor regarding Diocesan onvention of the Catholic Women's League. The :hemc of the convention is ''Child -A supreme gift." A delegate may represent St. Michaels. It will be discussed more fully at next meeting. Mrs. Gerald Ten Hag was present at the meeting on behalf of the Catholic Parent Teachers Association to ap- peal for a donation of money to go towards playground equipment. A letter was read from Huron County Debt Counsel- ling Service asking for finan- cial support in opening up an office in Clinton. • Further business included Correction In the Swinging seniors writeup last week it was mistakenly reported that Rev.

Some- thing was eating the first new leaves off the seedlings. 1 found a miniature cater- pillar and proceeded with a "save the seedlings" cam- paign. I had some powerful spray I don't normally use unless all else fails. In this case the shoots were disappearing much to fast to use slower means of catching the cul- prits. One good dose of spray and then a soaking of warm water and I covered the whole mess with a dryclean- ing bag. The humidity was intense under the plastic and I knew that whatever was eating my plants was suffer- ing if not dying. Twenty-four hours later 1 raised the plastic smugly thinking 1 had solved that problem nicely, when I noti- ced that even more of the shoots were missing and that on top of all that something had been digging holes amidst my lovely seedlings and making a terrible destruc tive mess. There was only one beasty in my hooks that would do that. A mouse, Since I ani one of those heartfelt creatures that hate to set traps Klaus did the dirty work.

When the coast is clear I will replant some more seeds. It is no wonder it its so hard to poison the pesky devils. They were grazing 'in the greenhouse and disdained our offering of stale bread and bacon. And it has been equally difficult to catch them in the greenhouse for that same reason. The choice between bread or dried up carrot is nothing to fresh lettuce shoots. Well the gourmet dining for the mice population is over for the time being. Next time I will pay greater attention to missing plant shoots and go to the top to find the intruder instead looking into bug problems.

A crowd welcome It has become a tradition among Blyth business people to honour those in their midst who have served the community by being in business for 25 years or more. Generally the banquets have been restricted to business members alone and closed to the public. But due to the recent retirement of so many in business in the past few months and the size of their staffs it was suggested that a banquet be open to the many public members that may want to take part in expressing their thanks for the many years these people have had in the community. Arrangements have been made to rent the arena rather than the smaller Memorial Hall and caterers have been located to take on the event. The problem arises as the date draws near that either too many have neglected to get their tickets or just have no plans to attend the event itself. Whatever the reason sales are down and it looks that like the event won't be self supporting. It is always unfortunate when something new is tried out and the public do not respond as anticipated. Organizers honouring Bill and John Manning, helen and Norm Gowing and Evelyn Turvey and George Hamm, Senior would be pleased to see old and new employees, customers and everyone who's interested at the banquet. It would be gratifying to see a crowd of well wishers out at the banquet honouring these hard working business people April 4. See you there. Backyard farmers Backyard farmers almost suffered a set back a few weeks ago when the Ontario Turkey producers marketing board considered stopping the sale of turkey pullets to people without quota. After much consideration the board relented and changed their ruling to allow small growers a maximum of 25 turkeys before charging them for quota. But the fact still remains that anyone wanting to raise birds this way must apply each year to the board for a license and will be subject to possible visits by inspectors. It has become a common fact over the past ten years that more and more rural people are going back to raising small animals and poultry as a way' of beating the cost of living. Self sufficiency has become more and more prominent among people who had neither the inclination nor the opportunity before to practise saving. The move of the board to limit small growers may be the start. Will we see other marketing boards and establishments harrass small farmers and put the "ma and pa" operations out of business? This concern rates special attention, especially in rurally oriented areas such as our own. The future is always full of surprises. We hope small growers are not surprised by increased bureaucratic harrassment and higher food costs. The fire chief says. Always store ashes in metal container, to cool. This Is a public service announcement sponsored by The Blyth Standard and written by ths Blyth Fire Chief Irvine Bowes. Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston The value of TV Nearly all of us, myself included, have taken a shot at the kind of programming we get on television, particularly the American brand of television that plays to the lowest common denominator. Just how valuable television can be is evident on Sunday nights these days with the continuing program Roots. It proves that while television may for the most part be designed to sell new cars and sanitary napkins, it can also not only entertain, but teach us and tet us to thinking. For the last few weeks I've found myself going to bed and lying there for a few minutes before going to sleep, thinking about just how privileged I have been in my , lifetime, I grew up on an Ontario farm that was far from prosperous and where one could feel sorry for oneself when he looked at others around with more money. To be truthful, probably the young Alex Haley growing up in Roots had more material possessions than we had at our place. But poor as we were, we were far more blessed than the black family on Roots. We were privileged because we never went to bed at night in fear. Imagine what the blacks in the U.S. south went through in the first half of this century. One never knew if he stood up for his rights against a white man if he might not end up with a burning cross calling card from the Ku Klux Klan on the front lawn or worse still, with his house reduced to ashes, The alternative was to scrape and bend whenever some white needed to boost his own morale by degrading a black. It was so comforting to the poor whites to be able to have someone to look down on and they wanted to keep the blacks down there so there would always be someone below them. Even if they couldn't read and write themselves, white men felt they were somehow superior to even college educated blacks. Roots shows the value of television, of the study of history and of drama. Oh we've heard about the human indecencies that were perpetrated on blacks in the U.S. We even saw the riots and the beatings that took place in the late 1950's and early 1960's as blacks tried in claim the equal rights they had been promised in the country's constitution. But all those stories, even the news film can't tell us what it was really like to be black and live in that era. It can't take us inside a black body to experience the indignities, the fear, the degradation of simply having a skin, that wasn't white. The Haley family certainly isn't your typical black family. '!'hough they came to America as slaves they became from before the civil war, ` a more privileged black family. One ancestor was an expert trainer of fighting cocks and so rose a little higher than ordinary field hands, His son was a blacksmith, . educated and well respected in the black community and about as highly respected as a black man could be in the white community. His daughter married a man who owned his own business and was much better off than the majority of whites in the community. His daughter married a professor who went to the prestigious Cornell University. His son was Alex Haley, the man who began the whole thing by going back through his family history right to the capture of his ancestor in Africa. While the Roots families are highly untypical of the experiences of blacks in the past century in the U.S., I think the show may be more valuable for it. For the blacks who have watched the series with the same fervour they once gave to reading their Bible, it showed that some people were able to rise above the pressures to keep blacks down. For the whites 1 think the show is easier to relate to than if it had taken the lowliest black and concentrated on his life. These are people who lived like our own relatives lived. They weren't out picking cotton but doing white and blue collar jobs. Yet despite their education, they still had to suffer because of their skin colour. And their friends, whether black poor of white men who tried to help blacks, suffered with them. The series has been immensely popular with blacks because it gives them new understanding and pride in their heritage. It has been good for whites because it shows just what horrid things people are capable of doing to others. It lets us see what it's like to be stepped on. Hopefully, the understanding it brings will help kill some of the racism and misunderstanding that still plagues us, even in Canada today. 'History is important because if we look at it, we can learn from it and prevent ourselves from making the same mistakes again. Television and movies and plays and books are important tools in making that history come to life, to making it more than dry facts by introducing us to what it was like to lie in those times. The tragedy of a series like Roots is that it shows us what a power for good television can be and it makes the usual pap of game shows and silly situation comedies look even more disgraceful. A book festival Books by Canadians arc being published and read and enjoyed as never before! 'ro celebrate the books and the people that contribute to the country's rich literature, Canda's first National Book Festival is scheduled to take place April 2-8. The Fesuval which is sponsored by the• Canada Council, is to be a time when writers, publishers, librarians, book- sellers • and readers can promote the idea to read Canadian. Many local branch libraries in Huron County will be participating in the nation-wide book bash. Dis- plays of books by Canadian. authors, special bookmarks, book bags, and balloons will all serve as a reminder of Canada's first National Book Festival, On Sunday, April 8 at 4:30 p.m. across Canada the CBC television network will broadcast a special half-hour program on Canadian children's books. Three baptized at Blyth United Church Sunday, March 25, was a memorable occasion for a number of persons and families who attended morning worship at Blyth United Church. Several guests were in attendance to witness three baptisims: Kathleen Irene, Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Randy Fraser, Charlene Jo -Ann, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hulzebos, and Brent Steven, son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Robinson. Welcomed to the congregation, too, were Mr, and Mrs. Jack McGee whose memberships were transferred from Dungannon United Church, During the Hymn Sing at the beginning of the service, Mrs, Hoonard requested a favorite, "All The Way My Saviour Leads Me", and the Scripture Lesson was read from Luke 10: 38-42, it being the scripture read at the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Hoonard, in Holland, on March 20, 1939. They leave for Holland this week to celebrate their anniver- sary. The Intermediate Choir sang 3 numbers, one during the Hymn -sing, and 2 later, with Karen Caldwell taking the solo part in one, and Lori . Souch sang with her but apart from the others, in their other selection. Valerie Wasson accompanied on guitar for the hymn -sing. Mr. Wittich reminded the congregation of the celebration of Holy Com- munion next Sunday and of the appeal for contributions to World Development. For his sermon "Faith in Action", Mr. Wittich chose Matt 25: 31-46 and Js. 2: 14.18 for texts. On first reading these passages, he pointed out that one might expect to be saved on the basis of what we do for others, but he went on to show that we first must have faith, and then by our 'actions, be examples, re- membering to keep the com- mandments and love Jesus who is among the needy of the world.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 28, 1979 - 7 Business picking up Thanks to Loom'n Leather's guitar straps Business has been picking few of their guitar straps in up lately for Allan and local stores and at a store in Suzanne Thompson, owners Sarnia, A guitar company of Looms 'n' Leather in salesman saw the strap in the Blyth. The reason? Their store in Sarnia, liked what he guitar straps. saw and showed it to his Allan Thompson had put a company. The company liked AIIan & Suzanne Thompson the product and decided they could market it and they are now distributing it, "It has really caught on. It's really good so far," Allan said. "It's getting to the point now where these stores are asking for them rather than them having to be sold," he added, The Thompson's first con- tact with the company was around the end of the summer last year and busi- ness has really taken off since then. The product is to be distributed right across North America including four different distributors in the States. The deman for the Thom - son's work is great enough that they have now pur- chased some new machines hopefully in the prospect of speeding up their work. In fact, business has gone so well that doing the straps is pretty well all the Thom - son's will be doing although THE NEW CONFEDERATION BY BRIAN BROWN Books at the Library for a true and genuine New Confederation. This region- alized Canada of 5 provinces was first proposed by the late W. A. C. Bennett, Canada is a diverse land, ideally suited to be a confed- eration.

Next Junior Storyhour will be on March 29, at 1:40 p.m. they will still be open to people who want things specially made. Last year the Thomsons went to craft shows to display their pro- duct. This year there won't be time, This year will be devoted mainly to the guitar straps. Allan recently took a new design of strap to his distrib- utor which should be on the market in a couple of months. The strap he cur- rently has on the market is selling under $20 retail. His new design will be Tess expensive because it's made out of less expensive leather with not so much design work on the strap and the work will be done all in one color, The ones on the market now go out in about five different colors. Allan is also planning on designing a more expensive model which will be lined with sheepskin. These make nice shoulder padding for people who have heavy elec- tric guitars. The machines the Thomp- sons recently purchased include a strap cutter which will basically do all their straight line cutting for them. The second operation will be done by the cut out machine which will do the small cut out work saving a lot of scissor work and pounding. The third machine is an embossing machine and cur- rently Allan is experimentingthat the time factor will be on developing an embossing I cut in half and that they dye, Then there's the rivet- should be able to double ing machine which rivets two what they've just done pieces of leather together I recently. and which eliminates three of "Compafed to what we the steps Allan and his wife were doing when we made . used to have to go through, our first guitar straps, that's When the Thompsons first a long way from that," he started they had 26 oper- said, ations to go through.

Roberts used Romas; 1, verse 5, "We are one body in Christ and everyone members of one another," to introduce Paul's Charismatic idea in the church. Each of us depends on others, Success today does not guarantee success tomorrow, Authority is vested in the church as in the new officers, We, though many are one body. The whole church is involved. This community is our Church, We can't escape; can't remove ourselves out from under our re- sponsibilities. The "gift of the Spirit" is given to this church to every church everywhere. Every member, from the most important to the least is a "Charismatic". One life animates - but the parts are only alive so long as each is a part of the body. Only as we participate in the church are we charismatic of the Spirit of God Given to us. Paul's diversity of gifts; prophecy, ministering, teaching etc, are expressions of charismatic gifts, Miss Joanne Coultes pre- sided at the organ for the service.

But the small, inanimate things that besiege our daily life drive me into a fury that knows no bounds, It's not the big things. I've mastered them, I can stand behind a mechanic or a plumber and nod knowledgeably with the best of them, Any damfool knows that the driveshaft is connected to the main brake cylinder or the hot pipe is not connected to the coal pipe, or whatever they're trying to tell you. It's the little things, the things you are too ashamed to get an expert for, but haven't a clue how to do yourself, that make me break things, take the name of the Lord in vain, accuse my wife and children of dreadful things, and generally act like an idiot, Who's going to call up a typewriter repairman, for example, to change the ribbon on his typewriter? Or a carpenter to come and screw a couple of tiny nuts into a doorknob that keeps falling off? My wife has just been through one of my experiences with the little things, and after ten minutes of it, she ran into another room, white and trembling, and locked the door. She bought me a typewriter ribbon at Christmas. We don't usually buy presents for each other, the last few years. The children and grandboys take us for such a ride that we've declared a moratorium, But here love for me was too deep. She bought me a typewriter. Mainly because you could only read the type of the old ribbon with a magnifying glass. It made an impression on the paper but you couldn't see it, It was more like Braille than typing. But 1 was hanged if I was going to spend a weekend changing the ribbon, so I just went on. Finally, she typed out some addresses, broke the ribbon, and practically ruined the whole blasted machine, as I pointed out in a few ill -chosen words. Well, I had to get this column written (and it'll be late, you can depend on it,) So I tore into the bloody thing, Half an hour later, the air was blue, I was black to the waist with ink, and the fool thing was typing in red. "Couldn't you just sort of switch the spools around and turn it upside down, or something?" she queried in a very small voice. "SHUT UP, YOUR DUMMY!" or words to that effect. "Aaarghl" Anyway, there you are. It's not one of my few admirable qualities. l admit it. But I I'm stuck with it. And the people who are stuck with me are also stuck with it. • I can start screwing a couple of one -eighth -inch screws into a doorknob, and wind up with somebody locked in the bathroom for a week, I can put an average, standard stapler on the blink in 45 seconds, with staples all over the room, and wire irreparably bound around the thing you punch. It's all rather hard to understand. I am not particularly inept or stupid. Nor am 1' particularly clumsy. I was a pretty fair athlete with bags of coordination, I drive a car reasonably well, I learned to fly aircraft with thousands of parts and thousands of horsepower. Yet I go berserk when confronted by a typewriter ribbon, On second thought, maybe I can, understand it, I get it from my Dad, He was a gentle man, and yet I've seen him fly into'. a fury over nothing, First car he ever had, back in the twenties, I didn't see it, but I've heard the story. The dealer showed him how to operate it, drove around the block a couple of times, picked up his down payment and turned my Dad loose, He in turn, picked up my mother, drove, her around the block a couple of times, headed for home, and drove right through ' the back of the barn that was to serve as a garage. And he blamed my mother! Another time, I saw him cut his finger, when the knife slipped as he was carving a roast, He didn't say a word, Just flung some blood on the tablecloth, turned purple, sawed the edge of the carving knife onthe side of the plate, and ruined both, Another time, I saw. him bread his toe, By design, not by accident. He had had five "blowouts" in ten miles, That was in, the days when your tube blew out, you had to jack up the car, take off the wheel, extract :ube from tire, patch the tube, and go :hrought the whole process in reverse. After theiourth time, the air pump, hand operated, refused to function. He calmly stood back, looked the whole operation over, and tired to kick the entire apparatus,, wheel rim, tire, tube and air pump, over the nearest fence. He collapsed with a, groan, and my mother, who was an excellentiengineer and repairwoman, as is, my wife, had to wait for the next motorist I to help out, while my Dad lay in .the back seat, muttering through his teeth words that I have since learned are palliative to such a situation. So it ain't my fault. It's the genes. MAKE YOUR POINT WITH A WANT HI� 523-9646 t1e standard i / WANT ADS WORK WONDERS Junior Farmers help research Century Farm BY JOYCE DOUGHERTY The Huron County Junior Farmers held their meeting on March 21, 1979 at the Clinton O.M.A.F. Office. Bill Armstrong opened the meet- ing. Sharon Colclough gave the secretary's report, and Larry Plaetzer stated the financial position. Jim Phelan then introduced the guest speaker, professor Josephine Meeker from the Department of Geography at Brock University. Mrs. Meeker asked the Junior Farmers for their help in the replacement or pur- chasing of new Century Farm Signs for farmers of Huron County. She also wishes to conduct interviews with Cen- tury farmers, if convenient, to help her with her research and to compile information on the farmers' families and their histories. Jim Phelan, a member of Auburn Junior Farmers of Huron County became Presi- dent of the Junior Farmers' Association of Ontario recently at a conference in Toronto, Jim has been an active member for five years and has held many executive positions. He is taking over from Bart Johnson of York County, At the county meet- ing, Jim gave a speech of his gratitude to the Junior Farmers for their continued support throughout the years At this meeting, Rick Archambault was voted in as the Provincial Director with Dixie Cameron the Alternate Director. It was also announced that Sharon Col- clough of the South Huron Junior Farmers was selected as one of the winners to participate on the trip to Saskatchewan. Presently Brian Miller is in Paris, France at the Second World Conference. Upcoming events were then discussed and include: Huron County Junior Farmer Semi Formal at Exeter Recreation Centre on April 6, at which time the County King and Queen Competition will take place. Everyone is welcome to attend this event. Don't hear farmer's story (Continued from Page 1) coming up when the federal election is called, "If we lose farmers in Canada we will be in a bad way and will be at the mercy of imports" summarized Ms. Brown. Lion Don Coughlin of the Howick Lions club attended the meeting. He is a candidate for the upcoming election for deputy district governor. The position is the second from the top for district A9, consisting of 48 clubs. The world convention will be held in Montreal this year with a crowd of 40,000 anticipated Lions, Coughlin told members. Six volunteers were requested to help make the small banners members wear at conventions. Lion Keith Richmond is in charge and volunteers were asked to bring Euchre The weekly euchre was held Monday evening in Blyth Memorial Hall.

Visiting Lion Charlie Crawford from Kelowna B.C. was welcomed by the group. Mr. Crawford was a past president of the Blyth Lions club, Lion Douwe Wilts reported on candidates for the youth exchange the Lions sponsor every year. Only one candidate is interested from the Leo group. Lion members decided to go to the public for more response. Bev Brown asked that stamps on mail received by the Lions be saved for the Town and Country Homemakers for their fund raising campaign. Ms. Brown is on of the organizations directors . The next Lions meeting is to be ladies night and a full state of officers will be prese nted.

"Where in Ontario the next 500 kilovolt line goes may be the most significant decision regarding agri- cutlure here," Pat Daunt, a member of the Concerned Farmers of the United Tow - ships, told Dr, Arthur Porter, chairman of the commission, and commissioners Bill Stevenson and Soulange Plourde -Gagnon. A line now runs from the Bruce generating station to Milton, he noted, and if the next line goes down along the lake it will create a circular grid all around the foodlands of Ontario -- Huron, Huron, Perth and parts of Bruce and Grey counties, . The power grid will encour- age urban and industrial development in this arca. The problem of land gob- bled up by the power cor- ridors themselves is bad t } enough, Mr, Daunt declared, but the other consequences of such a power grid are far more serious. This block of land is unique, he said, not because we live here but by virtue of its suitability for agriculture. "The volume of food prod- uced here is vital to Ontario and will be more vital in the coming years." The province already has a surplus of electrical power but is a net importer of food, he noted, and he suggested 4•, that one of the most im- portant factors in maintaining an agricultural community is an immunity to urban development. The brief presented by the Concerned Farmers Monday night blasted Ontario Hydro for carrying out its planning from an ivory tower with no concern for the effects of °?? these plans on the province's most precious resource, its foodlands, Even after Hydro was per- suaded to co-operate with a study on classification and s.( ranking of foodlands it failed r4i to use the results of the study in its latest report on require- THE BLYTH STANDARD,; MARCH 28, 1979 — 15 ment for additional bulk power facilities in south- western Ontario, the group charged. Mr, Daunt declined to speculate on why Hydro didn't use the information it possesses on foodlands, com- menting he still has some friends in Ontario Hydro, but said he can't see that the utility has given any con- sideration in its report to the impact its plans have for agriculture, Bruce Campbell, a lawyer for Ontario Hydro, denied the utility is planning develpment in the province. It is not and shouldn't be Hydro's job to say where development will go, he said. Those decisions should be made by government. Mr, Daunt agreed, but added that those decisions have not been made by government because it isn't politically expedient right now. "By its actions Hydro is making those decisions," he declared, Mr, Campbell also said Ontario Hydro is " more than aware" of the work agri- cultural groups have done to address these problems and urged the farmers not to be discouraged because that work is not included in the "particularity of response to these particular terms of reference". Hydro understands the problems and isn't un .sympathetic, he promised. Thte Concerned Farmers of the United Townships, taking in Turnberry, Howick, Wallace, Maryborough, Peel, Woolwich and Pilking- ton, is a group formed in 1974 when Hydro's planning department proposed building three 500 KV lines through this area. Since then it has been working to force Hydro to recognize agricultural concerns and was instrumental in gaining public hearings on the proposed expansion plans. LOAD FORECASTS CHALLENGED At the Monday session the Porter Commission also heard briefs from the Huron County Federation of Agri- culture and CANTDU, a local group interested in energy conservation and alternative sources of energy. Both briefs took issue with Hydro's prediction that the demand for electric power FARM EQUIPMENT LTD. SEAFORTH - CAMBRIDGE - AYR-WOODSTOCI( SWEEPS For"All" makes LONGER WEAR • MEANS LOWER COST We know the value of time to a farmer. Breakage means delay so when you need replacements,come to us. We have a complete line of IH sweeps and cultivator tools for any soil. Our quality controlled arts will last longer for greater savings • all around. IH SEAFORTH 521-0120 will rise more sharply in the future, following a brief period of levelling off, and suggested the t. end toward reduced consumption will continue. The federation brief ex - 'pressed doubt that farm energy use will continue to increase at the rates Hydro seems to suggest, noting that the process of replacing human labor with electric motors has largely been com- pleted, Tony McQuail, a federation director, noted in presenting the brief that farmers have become more energy conscious in their choices. Five years ago a farmer . didn't consider energy in calculating his farm costs but that's no longer true, he said. Energy conservation on the farm is just beginning. He also declared that while farmers would go along with expansion by Hydro to meet a need for more power, they see no evidence that such a need exists, So long as they can drive to the cities and see office buildings all lit up in the middle of the night, the streets almostbrighter than daylight and every parking lot looking like high noonthey won't feel any moral re- ponsibility to go along with more building, just so more power can be wasted. The brief also expressed serious reservations about Hydro's export goals. "It has been bad enough to have rural Ontario bearing the cost of Hydro's ex- pansion plans supposedly for Ontario consumers. We do not want Hydro building plants and transmission lines in Ontario to supply U.S. consumers," The CANTDU brief out- lined a number of steps members have taken to re- duce energy consumption in their homes and suggested that if Hydro must keep expanding its activities it ,should do so in the area of conservation, providing low l interest loans to home owners and businesses for reinsula'tion solar water 'heaters and proven con- sumption reducers instead of building new generating rapacity, Earlier in the afternoon the commission heard a brief prepared by Walter Palmer, !manager of Hydro's Clinton area (which takes in most of Huron County), outlining load forecasting for the area, Power consumers are divided into three sectors: farm, residential and industrial -commercial, The farms, at 40 per cent, are the biggest users of power in the area, followed by residential at 30 per cent and industrial - commercial at 23 per cent of toal consumption. Elbert van Donkersgoed, a representative of the Food Land Steering Committee, questioned Mr, Palmer's prediction that power con- sumption in the farming sector will continue to grow at as high a rate as in the past and Dr, Porter express- ed some concern over the informal nature of the fore- casting process. Mr, Palmer indicated he based the forecast of con- tinued growth on ob- servations and information gathered from contacts with staff, farm customers, repre- sentatives of agri-business and "the ministry of agri- culture and food, the local banking community, electrical and building con- tractors, suppliers, developers and others. Dr, Porter observed that in the future one megawatt of generating capacity may re- present an investment of $1.5 million and said he would have preferred a more formal method of projecting need, He noted at the outset of the Wingham hearings that Hydro's reluctance or ' in- ability to demonstrate the need for additional bulk power facilities has hampered the commission. At one point last week in Kitchener he had threatened to call off the hearings, but he said Monday he has decided to carry • on Conestoga College ofAppliedArts and Technology CONTINUING EDUCATION CLINTON CAMPUS Classes are now being held at the Clinton Campus of Conestoga College in the following subjects: Home Study (Mathematics Ft English) Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation There is still room available in these classes.

Mr. Murphy said it is a season of five world hits and that each one would be given a two week run. The opening production will be the delightful British farce, POOLS PARADISE by Philip King, Peopled with those wacky characters from his SEE HOW THEY RUN, it is filled with slapstick high jinks that promises to keep audiences roaring with laughter. It opens June 27 and runs through July 7. Next is the chilling thriller, ANGEL STREET by Patrick Hamilton. the author of ROPE and HANGOVER SQUARE. In l')43 under the name of GASLIGHT, the play was turned into a film with Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman. It opens July i 1 and closes July 21. HARVEY by Mary Chase will be the third production. This beloved comedy about Elwood P. Dowd and his friend Harvey, an invisible Christian School costs up h tlntion and rising costs have hit everybody, but the Clinton and District Christian School parents have been doubly hit. Not only are they paying increase tax dollars to sup- port the public school sys- tem, but they are also faced with the possibility of paying higher tuition to send their children to the private Christ ian school in Clinton. That was the essence o1' a preliminary report to thy School Society at their semi annual meeting last week (March 5) in Blyth, when treasurer Ev' rt Ridder pre sented a first draft of tht budget for the coming fisca year of 1979.1980, that esti mated total costs to run the school may hit $194,500, ul• $8,000 from last year. Some suggestions for way, and means to lower tht budget were made and wil; be examined by the board before the next meeting. For the 84 families from Clinton, Goderich, Blyth, Sea forth and Exeter who support the school and its 207 pupils. running their own school is doubly expensive, as they must pay tuition for their children, as well as pay school tax, but receive no assistance from the provin- cial government in the form of grants, as the public and separate school systems do. Principal Ralph Schuur• man gave a report on school activities, saying that Friday morning skating at the Clin- ton arena is over for another • year and the ice time was much appreciated by the students. The hot lunches served after the skating were also enjoyed. Mr. Sehuurman said the latest extta-curricular activi- ty undertaken is the forma- tion of a school choir under the capable direction of Mrs, Mary Hearn, six foot tall white rabbit has been enchanting playgoers and movie fans alike all over the world for years, It has been made into a motion picture and a television special, both starring the venerable James Stewart. It opens July 25 and runs through August 4. The fourth presentation is the hilarious comedy, THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT by Bill Manhoff. An instant success on Broadway with Alan Alda and the late Diane Sands. it was later made into a Hollywood film, The play is a human and humorous view of the age-old battle of the sexes. It opens August 8 and closes August 18. Last, but not least, the Huron Country Playhouse is proud to present the award winning musical, THE SOUND OF MUSIC, with music and lyrics by Rodgers and Hammerstein and book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The ever popular and endearing musical concerns the real life struggle of the singing Trapp family during the rise of Hitler's Germany. 1t opens August 22 and runs through September 1.
