(Standard Photo) Blyth green t ready for action Blyth's bowling green will be officially opened near the end of June, Blyth Lions decided Thursday night. The green, which has been both publicly funded and support- ed financially by the Lions club will be promoted with a tourney in June and free programs to the senior citizens. The green has cost over $40,000 with funds raised by the senior citizens ($8,000), grants through Community Centres grants and Whitario ($18,000) and the Lions Club paying the balance. The fees have been set at $15 for men and $10 for women. $2 of this fee is sent to the Ontario Lawn Bowling Association. The green will be open Monday and Wednesday evenings. The Lions have suggested having one evening open for novices to learn the sport. "We are planning to support the bowling green but we would like to see enough active participation to make the green self- sufficient." Lion 1st vice president Larry Walsh said. Next week some Lions are meeting with the senior citizens to plan an afternoon a week when the seniors could use the green free of charge.

Rt. Rev. Ban Chiu, Bishop of Singapore was the guest speaker. He is in Canada attending the Anglican Consultive Council Conference being held at Huron College, London, Ontario. Bishop Chiu has had a very exciting life, He attended university at Cambridge, England and was called to the Bar there, He found himself unable to return to his native Malaysia as war had broken out. During the War, he served in several lay capacities before entering the priesthood, After 0 rdination, he served in Switzerland and Australia before returning to England, He was appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury as the first native born Bishop of Singapore. The childrens story was beautifully illustrated by origami (paper folding) done by Bishop Chiu, The Choir anthem was "Praise to the Lord". The sermon was based on the text of John 16-7 "it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you." The Bishop said that when he was sent to Singapore, he found a big Cathedral that seated 900 people but that it was empty except for times when £ho,, Queen of England or the Archbishop of Canterbury made state visits, Indeed, ti was more of a tourist attraction than anything else. But things have changed in the Asian world, The Cathedral has become too small as over 1000 gather for Bible study. Can you imagine 1 million people attending a Christian gathering called Expo '74 in Indonesia?

Some friends of ours wanted to clean out some very old roses THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 18, 1979 — 3 that had been at their place for literally years and years. As soon as the rain stopped we were over to get to work and by the time we got to their place the rain had started and made things just that more uncomfortable, But then, wearing shoes with holes in the bottom on a rainy day never did make much sense to anyone with an ounce of common sense. Considering the bushes had had some pruning it was inevitable that with inch long thorns, one of us had to get scratched, But a little blood never hurt anyone. By the time we had every last one dug up and loaded into the • the truck it was too dark to finish the job. Now as any good gardener will agree when you have something outside, uaplanted, and the weather • wizards are forecasting a severe drop in temperature you begin to panic. So 1 took a few precautions and in the pouring rain after an evening out with friends 1 stubbled around and covered the roots OFFICIAL TREE — This red maple was planted last week by the Auburn Horticultural Society to commerate Auburns 125 birthday. Supporting the tree is Stewart Ball. Dorothy Granger, president holds the shovel and treasurer Eleanor Bradnock read the service. The red maple is located in the eastern corner of Auburn near Seers Garage. w Sni0fi 161s1° of the summer beauties with the strips of sod that we had carved out for the new rose garden. And to make sure that the plants would not meet the sun, bottoms up, I was up at 6;30 in the morning digging to beat the sun. Needless to say breakfast was a little late Sunday morning a s it was close to eleven when we finished, The next job was pruning. These plants averaged two feet in diameter across their branches and they were loaded with fresh new growth, Now a few years ago I would have tried to nurse those bushes along without trimming them because they looked so nice and full, But after years of having trees and shrubs fail or lose too much growth because of "precious care" 1 brutally snipped them all back to a few stalks and trimmed out the old dead wood, But rather than throw anything out 1 trimmed the cuttings and put them in the ground too. It doesn't hurt to hope does it? Now a few days later the bushes have picked up and it looks like they all may make it. Even the tough climber that had its 3 inch trunk broken off and rammed into cold and slippery soil, seems to be doing okay. 1 breathed a sigh of relief until Monday night when 1 heard Jean McKee of Benmiller, speak to the Auburn Horticultural Society about h..rennial gardens and her experience with her own. Her conclusion was short and shocking. Start small and don't take on more than you can handle. She then proceeded to show us some of the slides of her beautiful rose garden, I could easily picture ours looking like that. Then came the clincher, "It VAS During our Stock Reduction Sale!

'i lVA!% %s i OM#4 The great debate After Sunday's debate between the leaders of our federal parties seemed to confirm rather than improve or alter many of the feelings and thoughts we share about our heros. It has always been a race between the two leading parties with the NDP breaking up the vote with the discontents. Several times during the debate Ed Broadbent was questioned on how he would work with a minority conservative government. No one questioned him on how he would lead. Unfortunately Mr, Broadbent is dinning for the leadership and could not justify answering such a question. But the real debate came when Joe Clark, Conservative leader and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau paired off and the first question took them by surprise. Roughly, all the mud slinging that had occurred throughout the campaign was to be repeated on national T.V. The two men were to discuss their leadership qualities and compare themselves to each other, plus indicate why theythinkthe other guy would not make a good leader for Canada. Anyone who has read the papers or turned on the radio has heard all they waht to hear of weak characters and dictatorial manners. Even after voicing complaints to that effect, the public is yet again forced to listen to such ridicule. And the journalists encouraged this kind of blood letting. Both candidates are men of integrity and should not have to debate under these conditions. We are more interested in proposed programs and policies. Mr. Clark rose to the occasion and chuckled out of some of the tight spots that the prime minister pulled and the moderator pulled them apart before anyone could make a solid point and take the lead .in the debate. Mr. Clark kept referring to the long list of Liberal failures and he himself failed to give some examples thus losing credibility in the face of Trudeau's requests that he explain himself more fully. Although the order of speakers indicated that Mr. Clark may have the lead as he spoke both first and last, Mr. Trudeau was able to make use of his position by using material introduced by the other two to his advantage. But all this seemed lost when the PM failed to make a solid last remark but rambled on to his through his four minute summary. After it was all over the leaders shook hands and all commented on the fact they would have liked to debate longer, had time permitted. All were smiling and obviously were pleased with their individual performances. But the real winner will not be decided until May 22 when the voters go to the polls. ...On the local scene After all the leaders of the parties have had national exposure and promoted their parties to the hilt the voter who turns to hisriding for information is more confused than relieved. If the public were allowed to vote for the leader the results might be different. As it stands now you are given your ballot with three names or what ever on it but the piece of paper does not indicate any policy. Familiarity always makes people more confident that they are making the right decision. So in Huron -Bruce we have had Bob McKinley representing us in parliament for many years. With all the constant prattle about a change being .for the better maybe voters should apply that bit of Conservative advertising information right here at home. In the running here are Liberal candidate Graeme Craig and NDP Moira Couper. A change they say is a good as a rest. Let's give Huron -Bruce a change and give another candidate a try. The fire chief says Before you start out seeding this spring be sure your tractors are equipped with a good fire extinguisher of the proper type. If not, be sure to contact your local fire department. A new face in town Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Elections have improved So you're tired of the length of the present election campaign. You're red up with the pettiness of the opposing parties as they pick away at each other. You think there must be a better way to run the country. Well cheer up, this could be worse. Indeed they once were in this country. I happened to be reading W.H. Graham's book The Tiger of Canada West recently and 'couldn't help but compare elections in the 1800's with those of today. I think even the most cynical of us will agree that there's been a marked improve- ment. After the 1837 Rebellion there were attempts to assure more democratic practices in Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec) to prevent some of the abuses by the rich and powerful which had caused the rebellion. Tiger Dunlop, who had become a severe critic of the Canada Company for which he had once worked in bringing settlers to major areas of Huron and Perth counties had decided to run for the seat his brother Robin had held until his death. He was representing the interests of settlers (particularly a group of well-to-do- settlers of Colborne township known as the Colborne Clique) against the Canada Company and its representative Capt. James Strachan, son of the infamour Bishop Strachan of the old family Compact. But his opposition was more than that. His opposition was also the. Orangemen, the protestant Irish movement which struck fear into the hearts of those who opposed it in those rough and ready days when Huron County was still a frontier. Today our leaders jet back and forth across the country to sell themselves and their policies to the voters. Their ease of getting from one side of the nation to another is contrasted to the efforts needed by Dunlop and Strachan to just get from voter to voter in the Huron riding where roads were still mud trails, bridges often non existent and voters scattered over a wide arca from.Stratford to Goderich and a huge area to the north and south. A good candidate in those days would have needed to be bilingual; not English and French, but English and Gaelic, because there were many who were just over from Scotland and the highlands and didn't understand English the best. At last the election arrived, but the real fun had just begun. Unlike we today who will have a few hours of peace before the actual election, there was no such thing as a cooling off period in those days. Electioneering went on right until the last possible minute. There weren't polls scattered conveniently throughout the riding, but one only, in Goderich, which was hardly a convenient place for most of the voters. People had to travel all the way from Stratford and St. Marys to vote there. Although the candidates had been campaigning for weeks, they still had to be officially nominated. A platform called "the hustings" was set up in the square, where the nominations and speeches were to be made. Choosing the official nomin- ator and seconder was done with great care to make the best impression. When Dunlop's nominator tried to get up to the platform to make his nomination he was nearly stopped by Orangemen who wanted to prevent him from making the nomin- ation. He made it, but when Strachan's turn came, Dunlop's people managed to find out that his nominator was not eligible to make the nomination because he wasn't qualified as a voter in the election. Once the nominations were made, the elections could begin. The voting was to take place in Rattenbury's British Hotel. There was a voting book and each voter had to step forward and identify himself and prove that he had a right to vote. Only those who could present a clear deed to the land they lived on could vote, so they had to bring the deed with them. Then they had to say out loud in front of everyone in the building which party or candidate they supported. Woe to the man who owed money to a prominent Tory but voted for a Reform candidate, or vice versa. His choice would soon be known all over the riding. The voting could go on from Monday until Saturday as long as one vote was cast every hour. Strachan's support came generally from around Goderich while Dunlop's came from farther away so it was necessary for Dunlop's people to make sure they kept the pools open as long as possible for all the supporters to get in. The Orangement meanwhile walked back and forth outside the hotel, swinging clubs and shouting threats at anyone who tried to enter the hotel who wasn't on their side. Then on Monday night they rioted, attacking the hotel and beating up the owner, beating up anyone who was known to be a Dunlop supporter and even dragging some from their beds, beating them and leaving them in the bush on a cold March night. Dunlop's supporters had been afraid of such a happening so had asked that troops be brought in from London and only the word that the troops were now in Clinton quieted the violence. But the next morning the Strachan supporters were lined along the porch of the hotel so deeply that it took both moral and physical strength for a Dunlop voter to get into the hotel to cast his vote. When the troops arrived, this kind of violent intimidation was weakened but the Canada Company had another plan. It -began juggling the books and giving deeds to supporters who didn't own their land, so they could vote. When the election finally ended it was 159 to 149 for Strachan. But justice did triumph. The fraud was found out and Dunlop eventually was declared victorious, So next Wile you want to complain about the presert't" flection campaign remember how things could have been, .g .' r., ) r (;f; f EXCLUSIVE TEAPOT — The Hon.

We finally heard of a young man who cane orginally from Ethel and Stan was his name. He was out in Regina so gave him a call, He gladly accepted two charges and all. He fitted in well with both young and old, He even held babies just like an old pro. He's a capable cook and we've all had a taste of his hospitality of it there's no waste. In the kitche►i he's effecient with pans, spoons and knife so, as yet, has no need of a beautiful wife, It was in the first year after Stan came to us a bad blizzard hit, with such a big gust That school children were going to sleep on the floor So many kind villagers opened their door. The manse was so big that they sent Stan a few He cooked a big turkey and thought it might do, with Now Stanley has been a nig help to us all He's ready to help no matter what may befall. He can organize meetings and gives all a chance To help in the church work, their life to enhance. Stan has many talents and you will agree • To visit the sick he is good company. He's willing to help when just given the chance, He can talk, he can swim, he can sing, he can dance. There is many a tale of his tune with us here But it can't be all told right now, 1 do fear - He now goes to Hensall, his work to begin, They are certainly lucky to get one like him To Stan in the future we wish you the best. This last Stanza is not intended in jest.

As you grow into manhood, for you no busting sod,you left the farm and home behind and pledged your life to God. But here we've got ahead of ourselves, and so must reverse a wee bit. While in at Pickett. Campbells, you sold clothes that surely all fit. The church, the store, Y.P.U. filled full your very life, and you poor lad,were so busy, you'd no time to choose a wife. There was one man whose influence to Stan meant quite a lot, lam of course referring to the Reverend Charles J. Scott. Though this association your mind became quite set. Said you to all who'd listen "1 'I1 be a preacher yet. So off to Brantford and Five Oaks you .vent without a qualm, The work was hard and steady but to your mind a calm. From thence to half across the west, you travelled out in style, If in your heart there lurked some doubts, they vanished with each mile, your goal was set, you'd struggle 011, thnugli each road had a bend Your high school you completed, your B.A. not the end, For a few more years you worked and toiled with a flock out in the west. When 0 minister you finally became you vowed to do your best, Now at this time the flock down here in good old Londesboro were in a tizzy like to -day for their minister was to go. The Reverend Heckendorn you see had reached three score and five. And who would we in Londesboro get to keep our flock alive, From Elwin Merill came the word that you might leave the west, So off a call toyou was sent, and we all prow the rest, A U -Haul it was loaded up with all the things you needed. Then you set out to reach your home, though the speed signs weren't all heeded, You blew into our Londesboro town saying this looks like the life.

A number of local citizens boarded the Sherwood Bus from Goderich on Saturday morning to enjoy two days at Niagara Falls with the Sunshine Tours. The hostess Viola Haines was unable to accompany us due to ill health. We arrived at Queenston Heights for lunch and then travelled along the Niagara Parkway and on to the Falls. The cherry, pear, peach, flowering crabs and tulip trees were out in full bloom and really beautiful. After checking in at our motel we left for Marine Land and saw the performances with the seals, dolphins and killer whales as well as all the other animals. So far the weather had co-operated but at night it really rained hard and very few ventured out to see the lights on the falls. Sunday the weather was beautiful again and we spent the day at Rock Rouse, Skylon Tower and admiring the beautiful beds of tulips and early flowers and of course the falls, On the way home we stopped at Stratford for supper where all the ladies' received a gift as it was Mothers Day. Mr. and Ms. Everett Scrimegeour of Trenton spent a few days last week with their sons Doug and Don and and families as well as many of their relatives and friends.

Christine is the grand- daughter of Rev, and Mrs. Brush and Mr. and Mrs, Irvin Bowes, Connie and Vernon Bromley are her Godparents. Mrs. Molly Grant and Mrs. Robert Peck of Blyth and Mrs, Alice Davidson of Londesboro returned from a two week trip in Alberta.

Alice and June visited June's sister Inez and husband in Stettler, From there they visited the Circle Square Ranch at Halkirk and many friends around Castor, Then Alice, Inez and June motored to Jasper and were fortunate to have a tour of the Canadian Parks Training Centre. The Centre uses the original log buildings, erected as a dude ranch by a Mr. Welby in the early 1920s. This was of special interest to June as she nursed Mr, Welby at the ranch in 1944. He died the following year and his grave and tombstone are on the grounds. Prime Minister Trudeau and his three sons and their English Nanny stayed in the Gardener's Cottage a month previous. Alice and June spent the last four days in Calgary visiting friends and relatives. Congratulations to Mrs, L.

With the rescinding of the 1978 bylaws which were never implemented, Council gave back to the original owner properties given to the township as security Council rescinded the by-laws on the advice of Huron County planner Gary Davidson who had pointed out to council that the only way they could put the checkerboarding through was if it was in the public's interest to do so, Reeve William Elston said the township would be hard pressed to defend the checkerboarding plan as being in the public interest because it was originally designed to help development of the Pletch subdivision and benefitted Mr, Pletch the most. Mr. Davidson had pointed out that sonic time in the future a lawyer transferring the title of one of the Pletch subdivision Tots might question the public good of council's move to server lots itself! and of selling the lots back to Mr. Pletch. A municipality may subdivide or sever its own land without going through the land division committee but council decided it was better to have 15 unquestionable deeds and have Mr, Pletch go through the county land division committee than it was to saveMr. Pletch several hundred dollars in severance fees. investigations OPP busy with 40 injuries as a result of the collis .ion.

One student will be hired under the MCR Experience '79 programme, to work under the direction of the Van Egmond Foundation in consultation with Minis- try officials. The work scheduled is related to the final stages of the interior restoration pro- ject. It includes design stud- ies for the interior plans as well as specific proposals for interpretive displays about the Van Egmond family and the opening of the Huron Tract. In addition, it is the intent of the project to establish formal liaison with the Sea - forth LACAC with the aim of preparing a heritage pamp- hlet to meet the needs of both the Van Egmond Foun- dation and the LACAC. The Experience 79 project will likely coincide with 1J4 phase two of the building re -construction program which involves the installa- tion of hard services (plum- bing, heating, electrical( as well as final interior re -con- struction, This will enable final re -decorating (paint, wallpaper, furniture) to take place in the closing months of 1979. The Board for the Van Egmond Foundation will meet next week to determine whether funds are available to supplement the summer project with an additional worker, Students seeking employ- ment such as mentioned should register directly with the Canada Manpower Stu- dent Employment Office in Goderich who will make the necessary referrals. The Chairman has also been advised that the Huron County B oard of Education will assign two student wor- kers to the Van Egmond project for a four-week per- iod beginning in min -June. The students will develop curriculum resource pack- ages for Huron County schools. The topics included will be related to the Van Egmond House as well as local history from Seaforth and Egmondville area. The resource packages will then be made available to teach- ers throughout the County as a means of identifying local resources to supplement text book topics in Canadian History. The summer months pro- mise to be a busy time at the Van Egmond site. As well as meeting some summer em- ployment needs for area young people, the restoration project should take a signifi- cant step towards completion. It is understood that public fund-raising plans will be announced in the next two weeks. 115 attend Leslie Bolt eightieth birthday One hundred and fifteen relatives and friends gathered Sunday, May 13, to celebrate the eighteeth 'birthday of Leslie Bolt, The party was held in the schoolroom of Knox United Church, Belgrave.

BY JAMES REANEY Last August 15, excited patrons of this tavern opened the Village Voice to hear Julius Novick saying with New York accents: "I saw some beautiful things in Niagara -on -the -Lake: a wild rabbit; a rainbow;.Lake Ontario; and Major Brbara. When a Canadian dramatist writes anything half as good, (hen come and talk to me about cultural nationalism." 0 lir first thoughts were that Big Cities always insect- icide any signs of culture in their desert hinterlands for fear, like Jesus Christ, it might come to town some day and bother them. But then it occurred to me that what Mr. Novick should have done is go up to Huron County and visit the Blyth Summer Festival where a play written and performed by Ted Johns was, as a matter of fact, as beautiful as a rainbow, The play is called The School Show, It premi- ered August 1 and if the Shaw Festival could ever muster even half its wit, originality and acting verve, the fudge shops on Niagara - on -the -Lake would probably melt. Ted Johns was born in Mitchell and looks like a young Ontario Falstaff. Three big women and four slightly smaller men he plays in this on -man extravaganza. These seven reflectors are focused on that recent pro- longed exercise in futility— the Huron County school strike, I saw the show twice, each time with audiences who roared approval every minute on the minute, There were even babes in arms, You never see babies at Shaw or Stratford, and as rare is this actor's rapport with his audi- ence, his brilliant exposition of local Shallows and Slen dors. Johns' ability to crystallize Southern Ontario types re- minds nie both of the Acadian La Sagouine and even of Charley Farquharson But his collection of teachers, wives and farmers is a deep- er creation than Don Harron's Charley and shares with Antonine Maillet's old Acad- ian Cleaning Woman the ability to disturb, not just tickle, our notorious Ontario blah. Very disturbed is School Show's Roxane Dupuis, an embattled mother sorting ironing and slowly going mad as the kids, idled by the strike, vegetate in 'front of the TV. "Till Doomsday," she mutters as she reluct- antly dials Area Code 416 for the first time in her life and informs Bill Davis' secretary that "Huron County is on the line," Her subsequent deliv- ery of such lines as: "People who pay your bills, Bill," and "There's a limit to the amount of waste and bore- dom people will put up with," electrified the Town Hall at Blyth and obviously released a feeling that has been smoldering in outland Ontario for years. What is this feeling? Well, School Show begins with what Ontario was like when there wasn't any money - before the Depart- ment of Education and Toronto decided to spend more per capita on schools than anywhere else in the world. So the first thing we see is a loveable dinosaur in navy blue called Miss Heart- wright, a one -room school marm who struts about her kingdom saying: "Mental arithmetic, please, Grades Three and Four—how many fence posts 20 feet apart would it take to make a fence a quarter mile long? No, Donald, the size of posts does not matter." Luckily for Miss Heartwright she exists in a world where people have satisfying roles to play instead of well-paid jobs: "Why, living on the salaries in those days was an educa- tion in itself. The Board: Why, they would have cut down the trees rather than buy more lights for the classroom," The Schooi inspector arrives with the news that in the spring her services will no longer be required: the province is going to spend so much money on education that the white heat of central- ization will even destroy the Board and "your attendance records shall be taken into the schoolyard and burned," Slowly Miss Heartwright puts on her navy blue coat and white straw hat, Her last words are: "1 have labored to build the future, and now the future is here." So it is, and the rest of the evening shows us what replaced Miss Heart- wright. As the only way to find out what their students are thinking, teachers crawl about under cars in hotel parking lots; old farmers cannot understand why their teacher -sons are striking for sick -leave pay they never received because they were never sick, "Your teeth are yellow with beer," yells an aged Main Street illiterate at the kids, and it is he, not the many-degreed educational brass, it is Nip, as John calls him, who turns out to have the genuine expertise in arbitration you might think would rather come from years of teaching and admin- istration. Only an illiterate can solve the strike! Is the moral of this very rich, funny, sad and ludi- crous evening that the old and beery might as well lead you? Yes, and also that whatever swept away Miss Heartwright has not replaced her with anything but an elaborate system that drowns our children and ourselves in school buses and gold. 1 suppose it's typical of Area Code 416, the Golden Metro Hinge that did this to Huron County, it's typical that its drama reviewers almost completely ignored the Blyth Festival. After- wards in the pub I was talking to Keith Roulston, the editor of the Village Squire, Blyth's answer, by the way, to Mr. Novick's Village Voice. "Metro only comes to Huron Country," he said, "when there's a murder or a bookburning." But when there's a play as good as School Show prob- ably New York and Toronto do well to stay away; if they came they might begin to doubt their own authenticity.

PAQUETTE Associate Agricultural Representative for Huron Can you wean a 95% calf crop? Jim Love of R.R. 3 Parkhill did just that in 1978. He owns a Hereford herd; breeding first calf heifers to Aberdeen Angus. Cows are bred back to Hereford. questioned Jim as to how he did it. He said, "You have to be a dedicated cow -calf man," He and his son alternate and regularly check the heifers and cows due to calve, Every 4 hours at night and every 2 hours during the day is their schedule. Other practices Jim fol- lows are: — an ADE injection 4 to 6 weeks prior to calving. —ADE injectable, plus Vita- min E and selenium to the new born calf, — Navel treatment with tinc- ture of iodine. —Ear tagging. —Records treatment given. —Makes notes of unusual calving problems. Early calves are born inside or in a dry lot near the buildings. Later ones are born on grass. Calf hutches protect the young calves on cool evenings. Jim's 1978 weaning weights were not except- ional. He plans to use a Charolais or Simmental bull on his cows this season. By bringing in exotic blood, he feels the cross will give him heavier weaning weights. It's important to be ready for calving as Jim is.

HAMMS CAR SALES LTD. Blyth, Ont. Phone 523-9581, Seaforth lady runs for nurses' council It's been quite a while since this part of Western Ontario has had a local person as its representative on the council of the Ontario College of Nurses, the licencing body of the. province's nurses and RNA's. But right now a Seaforth nurse, Joyce Doig, is one of six nominees for three seats on the council that represent nurses in District 1, the counties of Huron, Perth, Elgin, Essex, Kent, Lambton and Middlesex, Ballots have been sent to registered nurses all through the area and are to be returned to the College of Nurses by June 1. Mrs. Doig, who's a graduate of Seaforth District High School and of Metropolitan General Hospital in Windsor in 1968, hasa nursed at Clinton Public Hospital for the past four years. Before that she was a nurse at Seaforth Community Hospital. She has a diplom a in hospital infection control from the University of Ottawa. "Hospitals are having a tough time right now. There's a lot of pressure on health people and we all need to pull together," Mrs, Doig says. Cutbacks and bed closings have a huge impact on a small hospital and the total community that's hard for city people to understand, she added. While she favours compulsory continuing education for nurses • " people deserve the best they can get for health care dollars" - Mrs. Doig says questions need to be asked about how nurses in more isolated areas of the province are going to be able to take updating courses. She does not agree with a recent College of Nursing proposal that would remove certification from nurses who have not worked for a number of years. Mrs. Doig and her husband Rod who operates Seaforth Golf and Country Club, have no children.

Here Bernice Jeanette, and Allan Raint were quick to sample the food stall in the area. All unsold items were auctioned off, (Standard Photo) there's more to buying or selling a car than you think. When you're buying or selling a car privately, a handshake and bill of sale doesn't mean the deal is complete. If you're the seller, it's in your best interest to make sure the change of ownership has been registered properly with the Ministry of Trans- portation and Communications. If it hasn't, all parking tickets auto- matically go to you. If you ignore them you could be subject to arrest for failure to pay fines. You could also find yourself involved in a civil suit if the vehicle is in an accident after the sale. If you're the buyer, it's also in your best interest to make sure the change of ownership has been registered. Both buyer and seller should visit a Ministry of Transportation and Communications licence -issuing office and transfer the ownership in person.

You left a beautiful memory And sorrow too great to be told But to us who loved & lost you, Your memory will never grow old. No one heard the footsteps Of the angels drawing near Who took from earth to heaven The one we loved so dear. But she hasn't really left us, Nor has she travelled far, Just entered God's beautiful garden, And left the door ajar. Her empty place no one can fill We miss her now and always will. Just a thought so very true From those who thought the world of you. —Always to be remembered by son Chris, Mum (Erlene), sisters & brothers. 25-72x1 BROWN: In loving memory of Doris, who passed away May 18, 1978.

Natural Resources Mini- ster James A.C.

The buttons were popular at the Ministry's parks exhibit during the recent Canadian National Sportsmen's Show in Toron- to. "Some parks will be offer- ing special children's day activities through our park visitor services program," Mr. Auld said. Separate board won't reduce trustees to attend conventions BY WILMA OKE The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board voted against reducing the number of trustees permitted to attend conferences outside of Ontario, but in Canada, at a board session Monday night. The amendment to the board policy was defeated when Trustee Ronald Marcy of Stratford, on the Policy and By-law commit- tee, presented a number of changes to various policies when up -dating them, The proposal to cut the number of trustees flying to various conferences outside the province was made because of the cost factor, At present three trustees and one administrator are allowed to attend at board expense and the committee proposed that a limit be set at two trustees and one administrator. The board set the policy that attendance at a conference outside of Canada by either a trustee or an administrator must first receive board approval. Director of Education, William Eckert, objected to having to get board. approval before he could allow a member of the teaching staff or administration to attend a conference outside of Canada because he has control of that budget. He said, "1 feel that I should be judge of that." The trustees' honorarium was increased to $180 per month from $162.Theallowance for the board chairman was increased to $240 from $216. both retroactive to January 1, 1979.

(Standard Photo) THE BLYTH STANDARD' MAY iB, 7979 a'?/ Report from Queen's .Park BY MURRAY GAUNT Environment Ministry Harry Parrott has indicated that the information con- tained in the 1979 "Guide to Ontario Sport Fishing" for the great lakes would cover the levels of dioxin in fish taken from the lakes. The Guide Book suggests con- sumption restrictions for many species of fish, includ- ing brown trout, rainbow trout, coho and chinook salmon and smelt, based on PCB and/or Mirex levels. Because of their high fat content, these species of fish would also be the most likely to accumulate dioxin. Consumers following these guidelines would either not be eating these fish (women and children), or would be restricting their consumption of these species of great lakes fish to levels which do not pose a health hazard, Dr. Parrott advised, Opposition Members have severely criticized the Ontario Commission into Food Discounts as a "white- wash" and a "charade", Jack Riddell, the Liberal agricultural critic, doesn't "hold out much hope that the report will be worth more than the paper it's written on", and the NDP critic described the inquiry as a "pussycat affair." The Commission was set up last year after both Opposition Parties pushed for a full investigation of discounts demanded by supermarket chains from suppliers. How- ever, apparently commission staff have "adopted the attitude that nothing is wrong with discounts," In an effort to determine if underground mining in- creases the risk of lung cancer, the Ministry of Labour is studying the health records of more than sixteen thousand uranium miners and thirty thousand other miners in Ontario. A11 causes of death among miners - natural, accidental or disease related • will be reviewed.

The Ontario study will cover miners with at least five years experience and when completed will show whether gold miners are more at risk than t general population or mac at risk than, for example, nickel miners. Uranium miners have been divided from the rest, and must have worked at least a month in a uranium mine.

Well, you can have it, And them, Our society is breaking up fast, First, in the 60s, the teenagers took over, They got into drugs and politics and violence and dropping out and communes and health food and free love and ripping -off the government and driving their parents to drink and depression, Then we got into Women's Liberation Movement, Raucous and intelligent women trying to upset a perfectly good system that has been working well, on the whole, for about 20,000 years. We should never have given them the vote back in '21, or whenever. They have wrecked family life, popu- lation growth, and the economy by their ridiculous demands. They have psychol- ogically castrated their husbands and turned the occasional kid they had into a whining brat who thinks that love and whatever else he wants are more important than a good whack on the bum. They have sent the unemployment rate soaring by sailing into the job market in their hundreds of thousands. Just because they have high skills or a university degree, they think and say, quite openly and without shame that they should be considered on the same level as, or even higher than, a Grade 10 dropout male who can barely tie his shoelaces, Sheer arrogance. They have wrecked the educational system by refusing to remain baby factories. This has caused rapidly falling enrollment in our schools and a lack of jobs for male teachers, whose wives are among the worst examples of tiny families and hitting the job market, And now it's the car of the kids. There are series on child -battering in the papers, articles about one -parent children, and even child symposiums in which the little turkeys are asked to comment on how their parents should behave, what's wrong with the world, what freedoms they should have, and any other inane question a smarmy, patronizing interviewer might think up. We are smothered by stuff from the media about children: day-care centres, inner city schools (slums), special edu- cation, gifted children, obscene T-shirts for kids. We are harassed and harangued by priests who have never had a child and social workers up to their ears in stale psychiatry, and politicians who know that kids can't vote, but grab the coat-tails of any issue that receives media attention. And what good is all this going to do the !.ids? Not much. They'll go right on doing what they've always done: dreaming, fighting, playing; being the happy, morose belligerent, shy, cruel, gentle, brilliant, slow and utterly delightful little animals Year of the Man? they've always been, In Canada they'll be overfed, over - spoiled and over here, In Africa they'll be over -starved, overpopulated and over there, And in both places they'll be over -loved with that weird, irrational love of children that prevails throughout the world, civilized or uncivilized. Oh, a few laws might be passed, and many resolutions approved. But the drunken mother or father who beats a child will go on doing so, The ultra -permissive parents will go on turning out monstrous teenagers, The overprotective parents will go on turning out still more monstrous teenagers. But the great mass of kids in this Year of the Children will be much like every other generation: curious, resentful of things that they don't understand, ready to fight to death for ideals, gradually conforming and compromising to the realities of life, and going on to become monstrous parents themselves. Now 1 don't speak from the scat of the Old Philosopher, or any such hypocratic elevation, 1 recently had a visit from my Grandboys. I speak firsthand. It was Easter weekend, and we're still scraping chocolate off the woodwork and picking up squashed jelly -beans and ripped rabbits' cars. But it was a great weekend, That marvellous alchemist, Time, has wrough a great change in them. They are becoming personal friends, instead of sibling rivals. The destruction was down about 800 per cent. True, Nickov kicked a ball into a collection of Doulton figurines, but nothing was broken, I took the ball away, and he didn't even have a tantrum. But the TV is still working. A few doorknobs are missing, but not all of them, as on previous visits. They can eat without bibs, though Balind did get about 80 grams of relish and ketchup down his front when mangling a hot dog. However, he's only two and has a grin that would disarm the devil. And he said something that so shook me that I went Bowling (Continued from Page 1) arc two shuffleboards and 12 bowling sets to rent.

I'd plunked a peanutbutter and honey sandwich in front of him, and he said, "Thank you Grandat," as casually as though I were a waiter, I'd never heard either of them say "Please" or' "Thank you" before. They didn't sprinkle even one can of powder, mixed with toothpaste, on the hardwood floors. They didn't break a single window. They didn't anoint the TV with cold cream. They took off their muddy boots when they came in, instead of marching over the Indian rug. And when 1 said, "Don't wreck my typewriter," or something of the sort, they didn't blurt, ". , .you,"; they said, "OK, Grandat," or something of the sort, Maybe this Year of the Children has something going for it, a whole lot more than Sixties Sulks or Women's Lib Nerve - Wracking. But when is the Year of the Man? 1 hope I'm around long enough to enjoy it, CLOSED Monday May 21st QUALITY MEATS Schneiders "5 varieties" Wieners 1 Ib. pkg.
