Tugwell offic- ially took over duties as housing manager for the Huron County Housing Authority, an agent of the Ontario Housing Corporation, on April 9. He succeeds John Lyndon who resigned from the position in March. As housing manager, Mr. Tugwell's job involves the renting and leasing of all Ontario Housing's senior citizens' buildings in the county and all of Ontario Housing's rent -geared -to - income family units in Goderich, Clinton and Wing - ham. This means that all senior citizens and low in- come families in the county wanting to take up residence in one of Ontario Housing's buildings, must apply to Mr. Tugwell at the Housing Authority's office on Stanley Street in Goderich. Part of Mr. Tugwell's job involves communicating with all the town councils in the county too. A county -vide residency policy for senior citizens' dwellings has been adopted by the town councils meaning that senior citizens from one town in the county can be moved into senior citizens' dwellings in another town within the county if they are willing. Mr. Tugwcll has worked with the Ontario Housing Corporation since 1972. He is originally from Toronto and first worked at the Corpor- ation's head office there, He was then made maintenance supervisor of District F. He says he was in charge of maintenance supervision for one housing project in that district which had a popu- lation bigger than Clinton. Mr. Tugwell lives in Clinton now with his wife and three children. /nide 'the Standard Horticultural speaker P. 2 French teaching cut back P. 5 ' Londesboro Confirmation P 12 Belgrave Kinsmen elect P. 20 2 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 25, 1979 GUEST SPEAKER — Mrs. Bray, district president spoke to the Horticultural group Wednesday evening. Accompaning her was Mrs. Lobban. Both are from Lions Head and offered some useful tips to the members. (Standard Photo) Better crowd A larger than average turnout and a good program made a worthwhile evening last Wednesday, April 18 at Memorial Hall, for the Horticultural Society's montly meeting. It was encouraging to have 46 in attendance for the visit of our District President, Mrs. Bray from Lion's Head. She congratulated this organization on all its projects and activities, and impressed on the group that it takes many willing hands to accomplish so many undertakings. She said it is the society's hope that more young members will become interested and active. Mrs. Bray reminded the group that we should send delegates' to Annual O.H.A. Convention in London, June 13 and 16, and should be At horticultural meeting sending more than 2 delegates to District 8 Annual Meeting at Tara, April 28th. Accompanying Mrs. Bray was Mrs. Lobban of Owen Sound, and together, these 2 ladies shared numerous helpful horticultural and gardening hints. i.e. Take cuttings from tomato plants and root them as any other cuttings. This also makes the original plant branch out better. The best time to take geraniaum slips is in August, and the cutting will take root and develop best if planted under the mother plant. Mrs. Lloyd Walden conducted the short business portion of the meeting, raid also introduced a group of four nienibers who really had everyone's toes tapping, when they played 3 musical numbers. Mrs. Bill Hicks accompanied on the piano for Harve McDowell and his mandolin, Lloyd Walden with a mouth organ and Bill Hicks and the violin. They played Don Messer's Blue Mountain Waltz, There Goes My Everything and Golden Slippers, Half a dozen draws were made for door prizes, At an executive meeting (14 members) on Mon.

UCO plans Wingham mill Increased feed grain pro- duction in western Ontario and requests for a fully integrated feed service by co-operative members in the area has resulted in the decision by United Co- operatives of Ontario to build a modern retail feed mill at Wingham. The new facility will offer farmers an outlet where they can sell their grain for use in manufacturing Co-op feeds. It will also offer a service to those wishing to deliver their grain for custom mixing and balanced rations to be used by the individual supplying the grain. The 20,000 tonne per year capacity plant is situated on a 40 -acre site on Highway #4, two miles north of Wingham. The 4,900 cubic -metre steel frame structure will house 69 bins with a storage capacity of 2,177 tonnes. The plant is being designed with pro- visions for rail receiving, should that be required in the future. Environmental control will be aided by a modern dust collection sys- tem. Think about getting your land- scape in shape now! We have grass seed, fertilizer, sheep and cattle manure, lawn mowers, tillers, and garden rakes. GORE ready westerns and war novels leave me cold, this one looked better than most and my attention was caught. The novel takes place in W.W. 1 and a young German boy tell his experience with war in the trenches and on those fateful leaves home. When you read about the dirt, the fear and the incred- ible feelings this man had it is little wonder that so many of our veterans say very little about the war. l have never had to fight for my country in the literal sense of the word and most likely never will. And 1 am glad. Not because I will not be able to bear arms but that I need not go through the same suffering that that young soldier did. To des- cribe any of the situations in great detail would not move you the way the author can in his own words. It is not just the filth, poor conditions or constant death that event- ually may numb you but the many thoughts that the soldier had concerning just why he was here. There was the school master who praised the virtues of fight- ing for one's country and yet when he himself served was far inferior to the mere lads he sent off to fight and die. There were so many ques- tions in my mind before about what a soldier must think. Do they ever feel passsion for the enemy or do they ever question their part in the fighting itself: This soldier of 20 years did and realized with a certain amount of wisdom that to dwell on such thoughts before the end (if he ever saw the end) would mean insanity and certain Toss of life. Soldiers, no matter what the country. must share the same hopes and fears and this book proves it. Although the lad was German, the only indication of that was in the names of the characters. In this war young soldiers had no thorough indoctrination or propaganda was not intens- ive enough to overcome many of the problems that arose in the trenches, Although books like this are kept through the years as reminders of shall I say past sins, the ones who should be remembering that war is hell arc above these matters and order up wars where they deem necessary to preserve their country or rights. Reminders of the past often stir up feelings that are better left in the past. With th,e development of nuclear i war machines it is doubtful that many men or women will have to handle combat. With one button or possibly two it would be all over. It is hard to say which would be prefer- able if it came to that point. In these times of inflation, unemployment and election bally-hoo, war battles are left for the veterans to ponder and question. ghteell CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Rev. T.

III��/i4'�' Why not try? As the saying goes, it's not whether you win or lose but how you play the game that counts. And the Auburn Birthday Girl contest may be one of those games where lack of competition could make the whole contest a weak point in the up -coming 125th birthday festivities. To date only four young ladies have registered with Mrs. Lillian Hallam and the deadline is next week. The contest is not just about beauty but concerns history and community work. The requirements are simple and the only real requirement that may scare a few off would be the stipulation that the applicants must be prepared to work. Surely the experience is worth the bit of effort that would be required of the girls. And think of the tales that could be handed down to the next generation planning for the 175th or 200th birthday celebrations for Auburn. We would hate for any of the young people of the community to think that all the festivities are for the oldies to remember past picnics or school escapades. The celebrations that are being planned are for both old and young and the involvement of the young will make the whole birthday that much more successful. So to all those country fresh young teens in the area, get out of the house and down to register. Competition is sweet and so would the fun be in taking' part in the contest.

Since it is always difficult to do a canvass in the country there will be a rural mailing done, People living in the rural areas are asked to watch for the blue postal envelope with Bill Riehl, Rural Campaign Chairman's name on it and return it with their donation to the post office, Official receipts will be issued. —Bill Riehl The wisdom The wisdom of Solomon (which is really the wisdom of God) declares, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," (Pro, 23:7) That is to say that if a man or woman or young person consistently thinks proud thoughts, it will only be a matter of time until pride will manifest itself in the things he says, or does. The same principal applies to one who in rebellion, or perversion, or permissiveness, or lawlessness or unthank- fulness. These are just a few of the negative results, On the other hand, a man that has been taught to think humbly will result in 'a humble man, or one taught not to tell lies, will end up a truthful man. What is taught in our schools today is making a deep impression on the hearts and minds of our young people. Continual exposure to the wrong kind of ideology will turn our country into a Sodom or Gomorrah in one generation. As parents, we should pay attention not only to what is being taught, but also the manner in which it is taught. We are the ones that are responsible for •our children. Let us therefore be sure that we train up our children the way that they should go, and then rest assured that when they are old they will not depart from it. Remaining truly, E.S.

The old pump Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Remember Arbour Day? Although I grew up on a farm in the 1950's and early '60's, 1 never went to the old one -room schools that were the normal place of education for farm children of the era, As a consequence there was one holiday of the year that I always missed and it seemed a little exotic to me. It was called Arbour Day and it occured about this time every year at the one -room school houses that dotted our township. On that day while those of us who attended school in town had to sit in stuffy classrooms, dreaming of being out of doors in the fine spring weather, our counter- parts in the country schools were using shovels and other equipment and planting trees, 1 guess Arbour Day is still being celebrated sporadically these days. 1 don't think it has anywhere near the acceptance it once did when those country schools were in operation. I imagine there were many parents who looked on Arbour Day as just ,another excuse for the teacher to get out of her work, just as many parents today look on professional development days as a chance for teachers to get paid holidays.l'il bet the teachers didn't exactly think of Arbour Day as a holiday as they tried to keep assorted ages of young hellions from amputating toes or heads with the tools they had for the occasion. Looking back, though, I suspect the lessons learned on Arbour Day were as important to the children as what was learned in days when the three R's were on the timetable, And I suspect we're in need of learning those lessons again. today. In rural Western Ontario we've long had ambivalent feelings toward trees. This part of Canada was covered a century and a half ago with forest as thick as the famous rain forests of the southern climates. The deep soil, the heavy precipitation brought about by the proximity to Lake Huron provided a climate that grew huge trees. When the first pioneers moved into the territory they had to hack their way through the forrest that was almost dark at ground level. People suffered from ague, a kind of malaria caused by living constantly in the dampness of the deep forest. These hardy settlers t• td to hack down the forest with r' .,ut axes, and pull the stumps to wake fields so they could grow enough food to live through the winter. In a good year they could clear five or ten acres on their farm, It's little wonder then that they grew to hate trees. A tree was an enemy and they wanted to banish every tree from sight. In a matter of a few decades we went from having millions of acres of trees to having a great lack of trees. Farm houses were baked by sun in summer and blasted by icy gales in winter because there were no windbreaks to protect them. Our towns were barren places because no trees had been left to shade the streets, A few people in the late 1800's began to realize the mistakes. They realized that trees had their place, even in the new settled land. They realized too that some of the country which had been cleared, should have been left in trees because it was good for little else. So tree planting began again. Most of the beauty of our countryside and our towns and villages today we can credit the people of early in this century with. They may be long gone but the trees they planted live on. The huge maples that line the streets of our communities, that give them that distinctive Western Ontario small town look are mostly more than a half century old. But now we're in another period of ignoring the value of trees. For the last decade or so, more and more of those old trees have been coming down because they were too old. Because nearly all the trees were planted at the same time, there are no younger trees taking their place. Often new trees aren't being planted as the old one are cut. We face the day when our streets again may be barren, when our small towns will look like the horrible wastelands of big city suburbs where we bake in summer and shiver in winter. In the• country side things are even worse, Dutch Elm disease took a heavy toll, killing off many of the graceful giants that once lined the road sides and fencerows. More recntly changes in farming practices have taken a greater toll, Cashcropping and bigger machinery have led many farmers to chop down what few trees there were on farms so that the fields would be bigger and equipment could be handled more easily. More and more swamps have been drained. We haven't learned the lessons the pioneers learned, that trees are friends as well as enemies. We haven't learned that if we don't have enough trees we have water and wind erosion of the soil; we have hot houses in summer and cold in winter. I think we could use Arbour Day again to teach us just how important trees are to our enjoyment of life, A STANDING OVATION — Robert McKinley seeking re-election as M.P. for Huron -Bruce received a standing ovation at the Progressive Conservative fund-raising dinner last Wednesday night in the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community Centre.

(Brussels Post Photo) McKinley s aim: To the editor: THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 25, 1979 - 5 Pilot objects to "metric madness" Editors Note: The following was submitted by Bev Wallace, R.R,1, Londesboro, Mr. Wallace is a COPA pilot ntentbcr and found the following letter in the Canadian General Aviation news, METRIC MADNESS Sir: 1 wish to take issue with Mr. Robert E. Heath (Sault Ste. Marie), re CGA news, February. Such irresponsible statements as his have got the country in the mess it is today. Does he realize that if aviation went metric tomor- row, every plane owner would have to cough up many thousands of dollars each, for instruments? To my knowledge elevations are in feet the world over, If metric was so super, why did those metric converted powers not win World War II, or put men on the moon? During World War II, I worked on productionof a 40 MM antiaircraft gun, The first thing North America did was to convert all operations to our system of measure- ment, hence, 11'e mUt- produccd them all. Mr. Heath, in his letter, is so concerned about telling us how to figure out a "litre", The world over does not negotiate petroleum with such dribble. Figures would be astronomical; instead they use barrels, which has been used long before metric terms, As for distance, you want "metre", now we add the kilo, and it means one thousand metres:, then we add milli, but that sure doesn't mean million, Oh no, it's umpteen times smaller. Then when we travel to Mexico, the weight of our plane is weighed in kilos — 2.2 lbs./kilo. Just how much schooling must a person have before he has a clue what these wild measurements mean? In Canada, if a distance is one mile, it is two kilometres, half a mile is called one kilometre. Both figures are false. If an I.F.R. pilot used those calculations he would soon be in the Boondocks, Our present system of measurement is very sophist toted yet even a person who has no education can use it, He starts eating with a spoon then a table spoon, then a cup. As soon as he learns to count he can figure out a quart, gallon, etc. As for measurement, he can easily remember an inch by his finger joints, an average man's foot is a "Foot", a healthy pace is a yard. As a farmer 1 can walk two ways on a field and tell you acres quite accurately. Most of Canada was surveyed by the square mile, hence pilots can take a speed check over that Targe area. Centigrade has been around for a Ion time but was thought to be too coarse when extra fine measure- ments were required. i am sure Adam and Eve knew how to half an apple. Cavemen knew how to quarter a beast, and so began the use of fractions which will be around as long as people eat pies. If you've heard the news laterly you will have heard the cost to produce a metric Weiner. Politicians were quick to say Canadians would not have to pay the conversion cost. Well, if Canadians don't have to foot the bill, just who will? would suggest all metric lovers ship out to where it's at already, and leave us alone. HUGH ALDE Joe Clark a$ PM Separate board cuts French teaching time BY DEBBIE RANNEY The, evening was one of mostly light- hearted fun but behind all the humor at the Progressive Conservative fund-raising din- ner, Robert McKinley M.P. for Huron-I3ruce and Geoff Scott, M.P. for Hamilton - Wentworth, managed to get across to the people that they had one main objective in mind --to get Joe Clark in as Prime Minister of Canada. 'I'hc dinner was held Wednesday night in the Brussels, Morris and Grey Community ('entre. McKinley said that after the nomination meeting he had been around to different areas, "trd the message i received all over is that we're here tonight in a common purpose. And that's to get new management in Ottawa." He said that when he first ran in 1965 it was a tough election. Then things got a little easier and a little easier. "'The trend is with us this time. The amount of people here tonight has to tell you something. He said that in 1972 at the fund raising dinner there were about 250 people and that in 1974 there were about 200 people but that at Wednesday night's dinner there were 400 or more people. "There's a support and desire that's even spreading throughout Quebec, 'there's even a higher clement of voters in Quebec undecided than ever bcl'orc. When they sec Ontario and the West going to vote Conservative they're going to vote some members into the House of Commons. "When you take a look at what's going on in Ottawa, spending has gone completely out of control," he said. He added that spending estimates used to be brought before parliament and each member had the right to question those estimates in the house oI' Commons. Now they arc sent to different committees and the estimates had to be passed by May 31 of that year no matter what. "All he, (the Minister of Finance) had to do was get to May 31 and it was passed whether members of parliament agreed with it or not." He said that Joe Clarke would. bring estimates back into the House of Commons and would give Members of Parliament a chance to say what money would be spent on. He said that (taking the estimates out of Parliament) was one of the reasons why spending had gone from $12 billion when 'i'rudeau came into power to $52 billion now.

Standard WANT ADS WORK Phone 523-9646 BY WILMA OKI: The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board agreed to reduce the leaching of'um'al French as a second language from 40 minute periods to 20 minute periods at a sleeting in Dublin Monday, effective. September 1979. The decision was based on a recom- mendation by the ministry of education because, in general, the 40 minute period was found exceed the attention span of the average chil l in Grades 6,7 and R. Further the ministry recommends that foreign language development should be 00 a daily basis for continuity. At the. present time the board's policy now is for a 40 minute period every other day. It is felt that pupils are not as receptive to the same amount of new material over the longer period as they would in the two 20 minute periods,,anc1 they forget it on an alternate day basis. It has been found too that if one 40 minute period is lost because of had weather or a professional development day or the like, that a considerable amount of teaching time is lost. 'ioo, the itinerant French teacher does not become part of the staff in any school. As well it has been observed that discipline problems have occurred with too long a period of French and this has resulted in the classroom teacher having to remain in the room during the French class which is a serious waste of teacher time. Additional proposals on the teaching of French (oral) such as extending or not extending the program will be discussed at a future meeting when the trustees have more time to consider the program. Mrs. Edith McCarroll at the media centre in the board office and Jim McDade, resour .cc teacher, at the board office outlined to the trustees the use and value of the video tape library at the board office. They explained the characteristics unique to television such as introducing new per- spectives, as a primary source of information, as an art form, as an instructor . .. They explained the advantages of video- tape, such as the low cost, being easy to set up and use. They said the tapes are durable and can be re-usedl, available when needed and they pointed out a child with reading problems benefits as the tapes are non- threatening, A question period followed the pre- sentation. Richard Bestcr's rcqucst for a leave of absence from St. Patrick's School, Dublin, for one ,year was approved. The board accepted the resignation from r 'de Ste. Marie of Lorranie Regier who is the Grades 4, 5 and 6 teacher, effective August 31, 1979. Mrs. Carole Ann Kerrij,e• jf Catholic Parent 'teacher Association wt Joseph's School, Clinton, will he notified that the ministry of education has informed the board that its capital nrogram for 1979 has been established and 10 allocation has been set aside for ren,.,uttons at St. Joseph's School. On April 9 Mrs. Kerrigan and two other members of her association presented a brief to the board stating additional ac- commodation was required at the school. The board has authorized its property committee to visit the school and see what can be done to improve school facitities. In addition the board will continue to pursue its request to the ministry for renovations at the school in the future. A motion by Michael Connolly was defeated that the administrative staff be authorized to investigate the possibility of giving parents the option of sending their kindergarten children to a near -by school, other than their own shcool, to benefit class, loading problems in the system. Two trustees Ronald Murray and John O'Drowsky pointed out that the board has the authority to staff the schools, not the parents. William Eckert, Director of Education. pointed out this would open up the problem of requests for changing schools in other grades. The board approved the establishment of nine professional activity days for its teaching staff in 1979-80 school term. A request by Trustee Connolly was approved that the num. 'ber of days be set at a meeting a month prior to the meeting establishing the precise dates for the special days. it was determined that it is impossible to set the time for the professional develop- ment days to co-incide with those in neighbouring public school boards of Perth and Huron. Five days of the nine are designated as system -wide days and four are school days to suit the local community. d THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 25, 1979 WI hears Mrs. McNee The annual meeting of the Auburn Women's Institute was held last Tuesday in the Community Memorial hall and began with a smorgos- bord dinner with Mrs. Tom Haggitt, Mrs, Gordon Cham- ney Mrs. Lillian Letherland and Mrs. Frank Raithby, in AUBURN NEWS Bureau Editor: MRS.

Based on thse studies, as well as research using fish silage in other countries, the scientists see a definite place for this feed in P.E.I. and other east -coast provin- ces. To make the fish silage they ground waste from low- fat white fish; such as cod and sole, then place it in a vat. Organic formic acid was added to control bacteria and mold.

The program is unique because it is training students for jobs already known to be in existence, Doug Jamieson told the graduates that "I have never seen red tape fall by the wayside so fast" as in the creation of the program. Only $even months ago, Mr. Jamieson and Canada Manpower re- presentatives met to discuss the feasiblility of offering such a course. In mid-November Doug McRae of R,R.1, Denfield was hired to co-ordinate the program and the students started classes in January. Twenty-one of the 25 students who started the 15 week program received their graduation diplomas at Friday's banquet. Mr. Jamieson said because students were "guinea pigs" they developed a special "esprit de corps" during their time together, made valuable contacts within the industry and rubbed shoulders with some of the leading pork production experts in the country. The guest speaker at the banquet, Howard Malcolm of Janetville, chairman of the Ontario Pork Producers' Marketing Board, said he felt involved v, ith the program since he and his sons were training farmers for three of the students in the program. Not much Mr. Malcolm told the graduates when he started farming the pork industry "was :n't much" - just a barn with horses, cows and some pigs next to where you kept the turnips. The speakers said in those days, pigs were nicknamed "mortgage lifters," Over the years, Mr. Malcolm said the pork industry has certainly become more sophisticated. OPP Reports Ten years ago, when the index system started paying producers for the lean • weight in a carcass, this meant the pigs being marketed now arc much leaner than in the past. Feeds improved and marketing has become more sophisticated. Mr. Malcolm said there are now 45 assembly points across the province where producers can deliver their pigs and every county has a pork producers' association, Mr. Malcolm said the marketing board is now spending $700,000 a year or 23 cents per hog on promoting pork in Ontario through television and newspaper advert' • ing as well as the two pork restaurant, opened in the Toronto area. Everyone in pork The speaker said now "it seems every- one is going into the pork business lately." He said there arc now 17,000 producers in the province turning out 72,000 hogs per week. He said as pork producers expand their operations there is a "definite need for more help", since farmers don't want to work a seven day week. He said producers arc now going into two or three man operations and herdsmen's salaries have increased up to as much as $350 per week. He said producers want workers who arc dependable, prompt and observant enough to see what's happening in the barn. He told the students that one of the most important attributes was their attitude to the pigs -"do you like pigs?" he added. "They (pigs) are very intelligent animals and very clean if given half a chance," he added. Mr. Malcolm concluded his remarks by saying the pork business is big business and "1 think it's here to stay." He said as people eat less beef, then it should mean more pork will be eaten in the future. Doug McRae, co-ordinator of the program, told the students they were a wonderful group of people to work with and that some of the trainees brought as much practical information to the course as he had himself. He ,said the students were fortunate in being the first class in the program since they will have the jump on everyone else in finding jobs.

Opposition parties have called for a provincial foreign investment review agency, after Liberal MPP Jack Riddell (Huron -Middlesex) revealed that a West German family had enough money deposited in Huron County banks to buy the equivalent of two townships of farmland. The Minister of Agriculture said he would need facts and figures before anything could be done, and that a study of land owner- ship in Huron County was in , progress, Mr. Riddell noted that four other provinces have laws restricting foreign ownership of land. Ontario Hydro will complete the first half of the third heavy water plant at the Bruce nuclear generating station, but it won't go into operation until the extra power is needed, according to an announcement by Hydro chairman Robert Taylor. He said the decision to mothball the plant is based on lower forecasts of electrical demand growth, as well as continued uncertainties about the future of heavy water sales in Canada and abroad. During the Liberal Party's formal response to the new Provincial Budget, Financial Critic David Peterson, MPP (London Centre) referred to the Government's latest commitment to balancing the budget by 1984 as a "sham". He pointed out that if the Government's own pro- jections are correct and if the current rate of decline of :he deficit (2,2%) continues, it would take some forty-three years before revenue matched expenditures.

"Moreover, if we don't soon start creating new wealth in Ontario, we shall necessarily be committing ourselves to ever higher levels of taxation in the years ahead," Mr, Peterson said. "There is no way around the inevitability. "Ontario's deficits have, in some part, in the past been financed by loans taken out in German Deutsche- mark. These loans were taken out at a much lower exchange rate, and when one of the loans became due and payable in 1975, it produced an actual loss for the province of $9,55 million, The Province still has out- standing two loans in DM and we face even more severe losses due to the continuing rise in the value of the DM, "The fastest growing budgetary item is the interest on the provincial debt: the Davis years have added $11.1 billion to this debt, which is now costing us $3,8 million a day in interest • and this is probably a low estimate. This amounts to $1.388 billion a year, 9.2% of the current budget, and an increase of 12.6% over last year. A decade ago, the funded debt stood at $4.2 billion. It is now projected to be $15.3 billion by the end of the fiscal year, an increase of 263%. This represents an increase from $551 per capita in 1970.71 to a pro- jection of $1,791 per capita for this fiscal y':ar," Mr. Peterson criticized the proposed Employment Develop ntent Fund, des- cribing it as "little more than, a $200 million slush fund, •••••••••• • • • WITH A PARADE OF BANDS, FLOATS, ANTIQUE CARS & VEHICLES, • with no provision for legislative scrutiny or ac• countability.

If you live in a rural area, but your name is on neither the preliminary nor revised lint of voters, you may still vote on election day if you arc qualified, At your polling station, you may take an oath that you are entitled to vote and be vouched for by anoth- er elector whose name is on the official list of electors where your name normally should have appeared. But this rule doesn't apply to voters in urban polling div- isions. To be an eligible elector in this election, you must be at least 18 years old on or before election day, a LONDESBORO ATHLETIC CLUB MINOR BALL REGISTRATION 17 yrs.

There's a gift in life you cannot buy, '('hat's very rare and true. It's the gift of a wonderful sister, Like the one we had in you. The many things you did for us In your kind and loving way, You gave us years of happiness, No one can take away. Nothing could be more beautiful Than the memories we have of you, 'I'o us you are someone special, God must have thought so loo. —Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by sisters Barb and Shelley and brother Kent 25-69-1 PATTERSON: In loving memory of our clear daughter Gayle Marie who left us suddenly two years ago, April 23rd, 1977 in her 1801 year. Dear Gayle, you have crossed the flowing waters, 'I'o the shores that are ever green, Each day we long to see you But the rivers flow bet- ween Since you have gone before us, There's something you must do, Walk slowly down the pathway, For someday we will follow you. We want to know each step you take, That we may take the same For down that long, long road Gayle You will hear us call your name. —Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by Mom and Dad 25-69-1 PATTERSON: In loving memory of a very special friend, Gayle, who left us suddenly two years ago, April 23, 1977. Flowers come into new bud, And reach their glorious bloom, 13111 they pass out of our lives, In the season of frost.

Eliot, a transplanted American who spent most of his adult life working in a bank and writing poetry in England. As far as England goes, he was full of baloney. April in England is delightful, it rains only every second day, and the countryside is green with grass and as colourful as a patchwork quilt with flowers. Now, if he'd been writing about Canada, I'd agree. April is no bargain in these parts, It's one of those nothing months, like November, You have staggered through the last of the March blizzards, Barely. And suddenly in theory, it's spring. in reality, it's the dirty bottom end of winter, and the weakest possible. whisper of a hope for summer. April is mud, treacherous, piercing winds that give you that racking cough you avoided all winter, rusted fenders, chang- ing snow tires, and surveying your property and all the detritus deposited on it and around it by the recent winter. Just checked mine today, On the side lawn there is a dirty brown hump that resembles something from the pale olithic age, eyeless, shapeless, but somehow menacing, it is made up of one part ice, two parts sand, and one part salt, all courtesy of the snowplowing department. This lump will have melted entirely by the fourth of July and will leave a 30 square lout patch of pure Sahara. Scattered about the back porch are bits and pieces and whole shingles, removed, without charge, from the roof when the pian was knocking off the ice at the end of January. Mingling with the shingles are portions nI' brick, knocked out of the wall by the man who removed some of the shingles while he was removing the ice. Lying on the back porch itself is a pile of glass, shattered from a storm window that didn't quite get put on last November, and was leaned carefully against the house to wait for a nice day for installation. A December wind caught that one. Leaning limply is the storm door, which will no longer close, because the ice got in around it, and it was forced shut so many times it lost its shape and all desire to keep out the weather, and the mosquitoes, a month from now, when it becomes a screen door. Lying in the hack yard, leaning on one elbow, is one of the great old cedar chairs, looking as though it had just been mugged in a back alley by a particularly vicious gang of punks. Beside it stands the picnic table, practically swaybacked from the load of snow and ice it carried all winter. But all is not drab. There's a nice touch of color here and there, A green wine bottle tossed over the fence by some passing contributor, Here, frozen into the ice, a newspaper wrapped in yellow cellophane, Over there, another paper, wrapped in blue, emerges from its winter retreat. Both bear December dates, There's a frisky grey squirrel, scuttling up the dead vines on the house, looking for a soft spot to gnaw through and deposit her kits in the attic , Chasing her is a dog, probably the same one who left his calling cards all over the back yard during the winter, which are now melding nicely with the mud and the stench of dead earth corning back to life. And the clothes -line is sagging like an ancient stripper. The back stoop is ;ust that. Stooped from the ice falling off the roof onto it. All this is normal enough, a typical April scene, and I'm not complaining, But wouldn't it be nice if you got through one April without your tail -pipe and muffler suddenly starting to sound like a bull breaking wind? It's enough to break a man, were he not a sturdy Canadian, who has been through the sante performance in the sane arena year after year. But this April is going to be the one that broke many a pian stronger than 1. On top of all the usual crud of April, will be piled the even cruddier crud of an election campaign. It won't be so bad for the kids, who don 't mind April at all, as it gives then a chance to get soaked to the knees and covered in mud with some excuse. They don't. care about politicians, Nor will it be too tough for the elderly, who greet April with a kind of jaunty, triumphant grin, because they've made it through another bone -buster of a winter. And they are perfectly aware that politic- ians are pernicious, whatever their outer coloring. But for the honest, decent, middle-aged Canadian, who sees no more difference between the parties and their promises than he does between his left hand and his right, it's just too much. April by itself is bad enough. But to go through 30 days of it huddling under a barrage of political poop is the utmost pits. 1 agree with the poet. This April will indeed be "the cruellest month."

New president in the fall will be Paul McKee with Blake Evans as vice - We all hate mistakes BY JACK HAGARTY 1 don't like looking stupid. But it happens. Last night I drove wife and friends to a favourite restaurant in Lon- don. It took me forty minutes driving all over the city until finally happening upon the place. We had a fine meal. As we pulled out into traffic again something seemed dif- ferent. Then it happened. Cars started honking and drivers waved so I veered off into another street. My wife, in her best back seat voice said "you'd better pull over, there's a police car behind with flashing lights." The policeman pulled alongside and through rolled down windows blurted "you've really done it --you've just gone the wrong way on two different one way streets. Wheel it around and get going the other way." Wow, what a relief -no ticket! He didn't charge me for looking stupid. 1 feel good about the city -even though they could use more signs on their new one way streets. Like the rest of us, farmers make mistakes. Their mis- takes are "oh, so obvious" to neighbours. Plow a crooked furrow, miss a strip at planting time, overlap with atrazine spray, and you hear "fell asleep, eh" or "guess you forgot to read the labels." Most can take these comments in stride by saying "next time"' and feeling better instantly. But, what about the dec- isions that have no next time? Farm families tell of neighbours who retired ten years ago at age sixty. Now son has a farm worth half a million dollars and parents areliving in town on a small pension. Parents are caught in a dilemma. They want to do the best for their children - yet they don't want to look 'stupid. "What if we make a large gift to son, he buys the farm today and sells it in six months? What if he marries some ding -a -ling and they take off to California? What if something happens to him and she inherits the farm?" There are no pat answers. About all we can suggest is retain some flexibility. Pro- vide opportunities and a testing period for young people. Consult a lawyer about options and clauses to include in agreements and wills. Be open about feel- ings. Young people under- stand about looking stupid; they may not realize it's a lifetime thing. We all know that rules can be changed, signs may not be obvious and streets can become one way.
