Pastor honoured At the Sunday afternoon service at the Christian reformed Church, Rev. Ted Hoog- steen preached his farewell sermon to a very Targe congregation. He said that when he arrived in Blyth in Sept. 1973, to preach his first sermon in his first charge, he was excited at the church being full for both services. Being away from the city and close to the land, he sensed power in his church. He admitted that during his first two years he had experienced frustration sometimes bordering on anger, but in the summer of 1975 God opened his cycs. Hope, he realized lay not in people only, but in His Word. He beheld the difference between Darkness and Light, and he began to preach a gospel not to please people but to glorify God. Rev. Hoogsteen choose as his text Epheseans 3:20•-21, and he exhorted his congregation to make God's glory the focal point of their Christian life, and "to walk with all lovliness and meekness, with long suffering, forbearing one another in love." Mrs. Van .Amersfoort, Mrs. Benjamins, Mr, Blok and Mr.Greidanus sand beautifully two numbers, one of them in Dutch. Martin Wilts, on behalf of the congrega- tion spoke words of appreciation for Rev. County leases Huron County council has given Shell Canada Resources Ltd. the right to lease mineral rights to 1,186.948 acres in the country.

The initial price increase of two cents went to farmers to cover the price increases for labour• and feed. When we stop and think of it two cents to the farmers will not seem like much but when the increase doubles and the farmers still does not benefit then it is time to really wonder just what is going on. It would appear that everyone between the farmer and the consumer has jumped on the band wagon and the extra weight is being carried by the milk buyers. Just because an increase is warranted somewhere along the line it should not be considered free game for everyone else to take advantage of that increase and profit themselves. Many store owners have been accused of profiting from the increase but that is not the case. The dairys in most parts have complained that a price increase was due them as well and they are only following suit. But maybe we should all look on the bright side of this whole mess. Milk is the still a relatively cheap source of nourishment and ounce for ounce, compared to drink like pop with no food value, it's still a bargain. In v!sible handicaps In public school, little childen are taught to help a blind person across the street. The average taxpayer does not mind seeing his taxes go towards programs designed for the aged, the disabled, children or single parents. These groups of the disadvantaged members of society are highly visible. A person in a wheelchair stands out in the crowd. The public will take the time to assist him in any way possible. Today, the mood of the taxpayer Is that of rebellion in regards to supporting young able-bodied men or women via social assistance programs. However, what happens when a young person is medically unemployable? He or she may look as healthy as the normal young adult but nevertheless has a medical condition which prevents this person from working. Although this group can get Gains benefits, society often labels them among the welfare bums. A young woman has a kidney condition which prevents her from being employed. Fortunately, she was able to get an Ontario Housing Corporation apartment in the same building as a young man called 'Peter'. "Peter," she said, "You're lucky in a way. . .because everybody knows that you're handicapped. Looking at me, nobody can see my handicap." She can't get the full Gains persion and her case worker has no suggestions as to how she can earn more. Today, social workers must often get discouraged. The Worth Ethic seems to have disappeared; 'society owes me a living' is a popular notion which seems to have taken its place. But society will support those unable to cope by themselves (to support 'themselves). The challenge facing groups helping the "invisible" handicapped (groups) is to educate the governmental agencies about the special needs of this population. Since we cannot see them, we are apt to forget them. But they are there! We must be aware of this "disadvantaged" group within our community! (The United Church) Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Replacing newspapers? If the experts are right, someday you won't be going to the mailbox to pick up the newspaper that contains this column. If the experts arc right, you'll simply turn on your television instead and your newspaper will appear on the screen upon demand along with all kinds of other information. i've been hearing this kind of prediction since back in the sixties when I went off to learn all there was about the newspaper business. While we were busy studying how to put words on paper, the experts were telling us that all this would someday be obsolete. The age of electronics was here they said. Someday people would get everything they needed off their television set. Flick the switch and there'd be the weather forccasat. Switch another and get the sports or another and get the business news and so on. Well 1 guess I'm old fasioned but I hope that day will never come, i mean theoretically, we could all have copies of expensive art like the Mona Lisa too by turning a switch and looking at it on television but 1 don't think it would be quite the same. Newspapers aren't quite an art form to the scale of a Mona Lisa but they are a heck of a lot more than just the information that is printed on them. A newspaper has a life of its own. Most newspaper take on their own personality, a combination of the inanage- ment and the individual personalities of the people who work and of the particular equipment used by each newspaper, Thus, in a city like Toronto which has three newspapers there are three distinct alter- natives for the person wanting to pick up a newspaper at the corner newstand: there's the conservative (and Conservative) Globe and Mail, known as the great grey Globe because of it's design and the heaviness of its reading material; then the big and brassy Star that shouts everything in red ink except its financial statement; and finally the Sun which specializes in second hand gossip and right hand politics and is so obsessed with scandal that many claim it is one. Somehow 1 can't see how these differing personalities could be put forward on a television screen as it slowly flips line after line of a news story, Nor do 1 see how the personality of the community the newspaper represents can be properly expressed on a television screen as is so often the case with our weekly news papers. Of course there's another problem as well, There arc two common causes of domestic disputes, one over who will have what section of the newspaper and another over which television channel will be watched by whom at what time. Can you imagine the fun when all this arguing is rolled into one big argument about who's going to read what section of the news- paper instead of watching re -runs of Green Acres? Of course it's also a bit more difficult to take your paper to the washroom for a little relief and relaxation when you've got to carry the whole television along. And what about reading outside under a tree? I realize, of course there are advantages to the newspaper being delivered on television. First of all, it would save us cutting down all those trees. It would also, of course put a few hundred thousand people out of work cutting down those trees and making newsprint from them but what the heck, that's progress. if we continue to progress at the present rate, we'll soon get to that glorious state where everybody's out of a job except the people who look after processing and sending out the unemployment cheques. There's no doubt that one advantage would be the reduction of our output of garbage. (1 mean the newspapers after they've been read, not what's printed in them, like this column). A big part of our garbage costs these days ge towards collecting and burying old newspapers. I'm sure my wife would long for the day when newspaper came on television. I'm a newspaper addict and it's also part of my job to keep up with what's going on so we end up with three daily newspapers and close to a dozen weekly newspapers around the house. it means wehave our own major garbage disposal problem as the pile of old newspapers mounts steadily toward the ceiling and threatens to topple over smoothering the dog, a cat or a kid. She'd also like it I'm sure on those frequent days when she's trying to carry on a conversation and I'm managing to ignore her (all the while managing well-timed "un hubs") while 1 read the newspaper. it would be so much easier to get my attention if she could just pull the plug. But if the newspaper is replaced by the television just think how we'd suffer. What would we ever use to line the bird cage? And wou •ldn't it be hard to paper train a new batch of kittens if we had to use used televisions? To the editor: The village could use the station We in Blyth are blessed with living in a very special town but we do have one lack: a lack of buildings that keep our history alive. Soon one of the few buildings we do have may disappear if concerned people do not take swift action. In last week's Standard a small "for sale" advertisement announced the fact that the old C.P.R. station house is up for sale. The railway wants the land the station sits on and doesn't want the station so it must go and quickly, If this had been one of many railway stations built in this part of the country it wouldn't have been a great loss. This one, however has a good deal of architecutral interest and style. In addition, it is a symbol of a time gone by, of a once - important part of life in a small town. If it disappears our children and future ge nerations won't even know what we mean when we talk about a railway station. Couple all this with the fact that although we have excellent facilities in many areas I we are sorely lacking in others and we may have a way to both save the building and fill a need. In the town of Petrolia, for instance, the old railway station makes an excellent and very unique library. We certainly need a better library than the one we have. Perhaps such a use could be made here if the building was moved. Perhaps some other use that would meet a need in the community could be found. Whatevetthe end use, we need to act fast if we want to save this bit of history from becoming a pig pen on somebody's farm or a pile of used lumber.

Mineral rights (Continued from Page 1) The site the company is most interested in is an unnamed four -acres site on the Lake Huron shore line, north of Goderich. Although this land is privately owned, the company wanted the mineral rights to county property adjacent to the land before beginning exploratory drilling. Under the 10 year lease agreement with Shell Canada, the county will receive an annual payment of $1 an acre. The land being leased by the company is in the townships of East Wawanosh, West Jeans Shorts Tops Jackets Wawanosh, Hay, Stanley, Ashfield, Colborne and Goderich. If the company strikes oil, the county will receive a 12.5 per cent share of the revenue and between three and 12.5 per cent of any profits from natural gas discoveries. The ministry of natural resources must also give their approval for the drilling since provincial funds were used to buy some of the county lands in question. When Shell Canada originally approached council three years, the council turned the compnay clown saying it didn't want to get involved.

This shows the need for the service of this Branch. In 1981 it will be the "International Year of the Disabled Persons" which ef- fects 10% of the population of Ontario and she asked the Women's Institute to become involved in this project. The Department of Home Economics continues to pro- vide excellent training for the 4-H leaders and Senior courses which is a service that makes available unlimited learning for thousands each year in the Province. The Women's Insitute with its interest in Education, presented 13 awards to students at the College of Family and Con- sumer Studies at Guelph as well as the County awards through.out the Province, The Junior Women's Institute is growing across the Province said Linda Tottenham and Ruth McCurdy, the Junior Board Directors. As the Federated Women's Institute of Ontario celbrates its 60th anniversary this year with a reunion for past and present Board ' Directors, Executives and special guests, the Federated Women's Institute of Canada will also celebrated its Diamond Jubilee at the National Convention in Saskatoon in June. Many are planning to attend from Ontario.

Auld, Minister 12 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 2, 1979 Don't plant early corn too deep: OMAF BY: PAT LYNCH & MIKE MILLER The most common prob- lem with early planted corn is that it is planted too deep. Corn planted in early May should be 1 inch deep or less. Last year in mid-May, i stopped at a corn field in Logan Township, The farmer was pulling a corn planter into a field that was already planted to corn, I asked what he was doing. He said, "replanting this corn field," I continued my questioning and he said, "I heard you on the radio the first week of May and you said to plant corn shallow and let the moisture come to the corn. 1 figured that vas my clue to do the opposite, so I planted deep. Now I ant replanting because my population is too low. The corn did not emerge." 11' early planted corn is planted too deep, one of two things happens. The soil crusts and the corn cannot push through. Or else the seed is in the cold soil too long and the seed rots before it emerges, When you are planting corn this year, he sure and Ret off the tractor and dig up seeds. Make sure your plant- er is cluing; what it should. Check the depth of seed, see if fertilizer is 2 inches to the side and 2 inches below the seed, also check the popu- lation. Early planted corn should have 1,000 to 2,000 more plants per acre than later planted corn. This will give a higher yield, as well, there is a lower emergence rate with earlier planted corn. TREAT ALFALFA SEEI)??? You rnav have noticed an extra tag attached to your bag of alfalfa seed this year. The tag is referring to a disease called verticillium wilt, This disease may be carried on the outside sur- face of some alfalfa seed this year. The disease itself af- fects the plant by causing it to wilt and eventually kills the plant. At present, we have no idea how serious this disease is or'even how big a threat it can be, We are not even sure if the disease is on the seed being planted. We do know that it is a main disease in Europe. We know also that last year's seed crop was harvested under conditions that were ideal for the spread of this disease. We also know there is a seed dressing that prevents the disease. The product is Thiram. Uniroyal has the only regis- tered Thiram on the market. There are other 'I'hirams on the market but they are not registered for this use. The product is available in 11 ounce and 3 pound packages. The 11 ounce package treats 200 lbs. of' seed. 'rhe cost will be Tess than 25¢ per acre. The product will be distrib- uted by W.G. 'Thompson & Sons Ltd., and King Grain. INCREASE CORN NITROGEN RATES IF APPLICATION IS EARLY Research information for line textured soils (clay and clay loams) in South Western Ontario indicates that more nitrogen is required when applied before planting than when side -dressed. It is recommended that if nitrogen is applied as a pre -plant treatment early in Ole spring, the rate of total nitrogen should be increased by 40 kg/ha compared to a side -dress treatment. This Cuts will hurt: OFA Farm efficiency will fall if' Government cut-backs in agricultural programs continue, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) said in its Annual Brief to the Provincial Cabinet today, The Brief pointed out that a major reduction in efficiency will have far-reaching consequences. Ontario farmers would become non-competitive, which would lead to thousands of lost jobs and higher consumer prices. The OFA used several examples to illustrate how services were suffering as a result of last year's cut-backs. A further decline is expected in the coming year due to the cuts announced in the recent budget. T he Brief urged the government to reverse this trend before the effects become even more serious, in particular, the OFA recommended that OMAF increase its tile drainage loan program from $18 million to S25 million a year. Tile drainage is one of the easiest ways to improve farm efficiency, while the cost to They pointed out that Ontario's competitors arc increasing their programs The OFA was critical of the government's approach to farm machinery problems. The OFA has asked repeatedly for legislated minimum warranties and a stronger Farm Mac. hinery Board with investigative. arbitration and licencing powers. Recently announced government programs, they said, fall far short of dealing with the problem. The OFA also recommended a new Agriculture Resource Protection Program. It would assist farmers with the capital cost of new equipment for environmental maintenance, pollution abatement, storage requirements and market expansion. Over ten years, the program would cover one-third of the capital cost, up to a maximum of $10,000, the government is minimal -a small subsidy on the interest. Remember it takes but a moment to place a Standard Want Ad, Dial!. 523-9646 would raise the amount of total nitrogen from 130 to 170 kg/ha on these soils, For the remainder of the medium and coarse textured soils in the Huron arca, there appears to be no measurable difference between preplant and side -dressed nitrogen. The rate recommended on these soils is 100 kg/ha, BE PREPARED FOR SPRING CALVING Have you checked your 1978 breeding records? Have you observed your pregnant females fleshing condition the past few weeks? Your breeding records will tell you when your cows and heifers should be calving. If you haven't checked them, why not do it now and be ready? Thin cows require extra energy in the form of 2 to 5 lbs, of grain per head per day for the 4 to 6 weeks prior to calving. First calf heifers require it more, as they are still developing. Be careful not to get them over fat. Being overfleshed can cause -calving difficulty, Vitamins A.D.E. are very important at this time. If your hay is of poor quality, or you are feeding corn stover or straw as part of the ration, inject A.D.E. Remember, with proper nutrition, your heifers and cows will drop stronger, healthier calves. With calf prices at an all time high, it is very important that you save every calf possible. Suppose you manage a 100 cow herd. What difference doe's it make whether you wean 80% or 90%? At $1.25 per pound, a 450 pound calf is worth $562.50. Ten more calves means $5,625,00 extra income for you. Dramatic, isn't it? But you must save and wean them to MVCA starts planning A committee has been struck to act as a steering group for the planning of the newly acquired Wawanosh Lake arca near St. Helens.

The subdivision is to include a 37 single family residential development and 15,000 square feet for commerical development. Objectors included Morris Township who owns a drain which is used to handle overflow in the subdivision. In 1974 an agreement was reached with the owner of the property, George Johnston, but the agreement wasn't regist 'ered, The drain had still not been registered by Monday and the township's lawyer said they wanted to protect the rights to their drain. He later withdrew the objection. Another objector was John Gnay who owns property south of the proposed subdivision and has a barn about 1,000 feet away from Humphrey's property. Mr. Gnay said his prime reason for objecting to the zoning by-law was he believed that prime agricultural land should remain as agricultural land or if developed that it by compatible with normal farming practices within the arca. Mr. Gnay was worried about restrictions being made on the amount of livestock he could have should he desire to increase his farming operation. "I feel that if there's a dire need that can't be met with our available space that other space should be provided, l have a strong feeling that rather than a demand being met a demand will have to be.created." Noreen Gnay testifed on a survey she had done in the village of Belgrave on the availability of residential lots. She said there were 29 lots for sale on the east side of the highway, nine empty lots not built on, four empty houses for sale and five empty apartment units in the village. She, also said she had found 58 houses for sale in Wingham, Another objector was Ross Procter who talked about the Agricultural Code of Practice and stated his concern that there was no reciprocal code for the urban community,' He also asked what would happen when the lots increase in size and pointed out the need for such services as a sewage system and garbage pickup. He also objected to the way peoplew repot made aware of the OMB hearings and how it had been frustrating for him to try and get information on whether he cou ,Id talk at the meeting or not, He said he was concerned that people with problems did not had enough opportunity to weigh problems and Average Morris taxes up $80 BY DEBBIE RANNEY Morris 'Township council decided to raise the township's farm and residential mill rate nine mills this year and the huffiness and commercial by about 10 mills .so they could put aside $20,000 in the rrservc fund so they could replace Marti .n's This means that a person having a $5,000 assessment on farm and residential would Live to pay about $80, more taxes. this year han in 1978. The new farm and residential rate will be 41.24 while last year's rate was 32.13 and the new commercial rate will be 48.52 up from last year's rate of 37.80. The elementary school rate has also increased from 30,65 last year to 34,67 this year and the secondary school rate has gone up from 26.66 to 27.41 this year. Also increased this year were the county rates which went from 14.95 for farm and residential to 17.02 mills, The business and commercial rate went from 17.59 to 20.02, John Nesbitt president of the Morris Federation of Agriculture and Bev Brown of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture were at council to ask for a donation for the Huron County Federation. Miss Brown gave council some information on what the federation has done for farmers. She told them that the federation meets annually with the cabinet in Ontario and also with the federal cabinet. She pointed out things the Federation had done like the farmers price index and that the Federation had had farmers at every one of the PLUARG meetings. She said Huron County in considered one of the leading counties in the Federation of Agriculture. If she would have served this year there would have been about eight people on the provincial committee from Huron County, she sal(I. She said the Federation had put in a brief to the Porter ComMiss10n and a year ago had put a brief into the trail commission when the commission was wanting to set up trails across farmland. She told council that the Ontario government and the Ministry of Agriculture arc hardly taking any steps on agriculture Without asking the advice of the Federation and they are also sending proposed farm legislation over to them, She pointed out that some of the legislation hail been passed as a result of Federation pressure. Ms. Brown asked the council to reconsider last year's decision on dropping their grant from $500 to $400 but later in the meeting council decided to stick with the $400 figure. Council also awarded a tender for pit run gravel to Radford Construction of Blyth who tendered 30,000 yards at 59 cents per yard, Ot her bidders included Lloyd Jacklin at 80 cents, Joe Kerr of Wingham at 69 cents, Farrish Construction at 83 cents, Adams Construction at 77 cents and Donnegan's of Listowel at 69 cents. Council was also asked by Ross Anderson a representative on the Brandon Cemetery Board in Belgrave for a donation so the Board could pay for approximately two more acres they had bought for plots. Cpuncil decided to wait and see what other cemetery boards receive. Concerned Citizens meet Concerned citizens from all parts of Huron County met recently in the First Baptist Church, Clinton, president, Lloyd Barth chaired the meeting. Lloyd McClinchey opened with prayer, Members on the Program Committee report- ed a public meeting concern- ing the book issue at Central Huron Secondary School, 165 Princess Street, Clinton, Thursday, May 3 beginning at 8 p.m. Reverend Ken Campbell of Milton, Founder and President of Renaissance International.

Also speaking at the meeting were Huron planner Gary Davidson who gave evidence thatIthe development fell within the Huron County's official plan and .that the zoning by-law also conformed to the official plan. The plan allows for some development of hamlets on agricultural land. Lorne Humphrey the developer said he had dome a study which indicated there was a need for apartments, esOecially senior citizen's apartments and more houses. He. said he had done a survey on the numer of lots built and there were 65 unit built in the last 15 years and 35 in the last five years. . ' He said the farm to the south of his development (Mr. Gnay's) could have 148 head of livestock before the development' would effect him. Local man talks to Belgium by CB At least one of the French-speaking interpreters who will cooperate by trans- lating at the reception being held for the Belgian visitors who will be visiting Brussels this week has been in recent contact with Brussels, Belgium. Rcnc Dclberquc of RR.3, Auburn, who operates a CB radio'used to be a resident of Belgium where he lived in the city of Tournai about 95 kilometres from Brussels. Brussels, Ontario is not unfamiliar to Mr. Delberque tither. When his family emigrated to Canada in 1948, he, his father and another man bought a farm near Walton on the 16th concession of Grey Township where the families stayed until 1958, Mr, Delberque has been operating his C13 for about a year now. He said it was one morning when he was listening to the other stations coming through that he heard the station from Belgium coming in. He has talked to two stations in Brussels. Belgium and he's told them that Brussels, Ontario is just a small town. But so far he hasn't had a chance to talk to them to see if they know the two radio reporters who are coming to Brussels, Ontario. One unusual thing is that anybody Mr. Delberque has contacted on his radio can speak English. Although Brussels, Ontario is much smaller than Brussels, Belgium, Mr. Delberque doesn't think the radio reporters will be surprised because he said Belgium has many small villages and towns similar to Brussels in Huron, Mr. Delberque is hoping to do a tape for relatives in Belgium that the radio reporters can take back with them. He also plans w ask them why the CB is licenced in Canada but not in Belgium where anyone using the CI3 is considered a pirate. So it's a sure thing that at least one of the interpreters at Wednesday night's reception will have some interesting questions to ask the guests.

The decision was based on a recom- mendation by the ministry of education because, in general, the 40 minute period was found to exceed the attention span of the average child in Grades 6,7 and 8. Further the ministry recommends that foreign language development should he on 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, and 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 develol ment day or the like, that a considerable amount of teaching time is lost. Too, 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 .ce 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 !worm 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 arc durable and can be re -used, available when needed and they pointed out a child with reading problems benefits as the tapes are non- threatening. Richard Bester's request for a leave of absence from St. Patrick's School, Dublin, for one year was approved. Mrs. Carole Ann Kerrigan of Catholic Parent Teacher Association of St. Joseph's School, Clinton, will be notified that the ministry of education has informed the board that its capital program for 1979 has been established and no allocation has been set aside for renovations 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 facititics. 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.lber 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 -inside with those in neigbhouring public school boards of Perth and Huron.

The OFA's 21 page Brief warned that continued indifference would lead to an undermining of Ontario's tremendous potential for food production. They pointed out that other juris- dictions took agriculture seriously with the result that Ontario Farmers now had to compete with the treasuries of other countries and pro- vinces. There were y tables of euchre in play on Tuesday evening, April 24, at the community hall. Prizes were awarded to high lady• Mrs. Roily Achilles; Low Lady - The Brief said that a change in attitude would not require large expenditures. Among their many recom- mendations here: -a new Petty 'trespass Act, ►vhich would provide real protection for all property owners. Under present legislation, tines are minimal and conyirtions are difficult to obtain. •more emphasis on food products by Ontario's trade missions. last year only 20 of the over 201) companies publicized ha 'd anything to do ‘with food. -use pa11 of Ontario Ilydro's expansion funds 10 finance the di' elopment of alternate energy sources. •protecting food producing areas from garbage dumps, gravel pits, industrial waste and nuclear dump sites. •effective predator control in livestock areas. -expand farmers' markets and give consumers more chokes. -promoting 5111811 business enterprises in the Parol supply and food processing sectors.

Rutter, 162 Rich Street, Goderich. The topic of discussion was "Baby Arrives: the Fancily and the Breastfeeding I3abv" which is the third of a series of four topics designed to help the nursing mother, This topic deals with the relationships of father and mother in caring for the newborn and his siblings. Mrs. Janis Bisback, the leader of this series, intro- duced herself and explained that the role of each person in the family changes with the arrival of a new baby, and it is important to become aware of each person's needs in order to find ways to maintain a close•knit family. Some guidance can be taken from the "Art of Breast- feeding" which offers a confident attitude. The role of women who had been working before the baby was horn was discussed, It was agreed that a woman who enjoys her pregnancy and has a positive attitude low:trds labour, can more easily develop a successful nursing relationship with her baby. Since newborns need attentive care for such a short time, many mothers felt that the needs of a newborn should be met. It was felt that a small invest- ment in loving the newborn resulted in a Targe reward of love from the child later. One study discovered that maternal -infant bonding, that is, mother and father having close contact with the newborn 15 minutes to one hour after its birth, encour• aged the family to he more tactile and the child to be • ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• • • • • • • • • HORSES • ••• • • •• • PLEASE PRINT ONLY MAIL TONTRIES • • William T.

The Ontario government has supported the principle that assistance in the home, with supportive services such as the housecleaners and handyman can maintain many residents in their own honks longer. "It is important that the people of Huron County use these services," says Linda Young, Project Manager of the Home Hclp Services for the Town and Country Homemakers Agency. "We must show this year there was a need for the Ministry to provide such help for the .elderly or disabled in Huron County, or we cannot expect continued support from the government." On assessment if a single person has no more than $1,500. or a couple has no more than $2,500, liquid assets a year they may be eligible for financial assist- ance depending upon their help monthly income, Town and Country Home- makers, incorporated and registered as a Charitable Organization, are presently subsidising the cost of Home Help services to help the elderly and disabled adult who do not qualify for help through Community and Social Services but need some assistance with their fee to buy the services to maintain their own homes.

Blyth United hears about Ion The Theme for Sunday Morning Worship at Blyth United Church, April 29th was "Love for Christ". Mr. Wittich gave the boys and girls an example of how they can show their love for their parents, others, to make them happy. Commencing his sermon, he asked each one to ask the question "What is the nature of my love for Christ?" Too often it is selfish and impersonal, rather than a growing love. Not only docs our love need to mature, by loving one another, forgiving, accepting and sacrificing, but we must perfect our love. Love others, and God, for who they are and not because of what they've clone for us. Like Peter, we fail in loving Jesus. But He never stops lovin g us. Welcoming and ushering were 13111 Young, Hazel Elliott, Grant Spading, Ray Griffith and George Hubbard. The choir sang "Nothing is Impossible when you put your Trust in God."
