The first thing 1 thought of was what will we do? The whole performance may be beneficial for those people in the plant and for the handful in Toronto who are coordinating the pro- gram, but those of us in the arca weren't involved at all. County council was con- cerned about a plan at its last meeting and as one councillor pointed out "if a serious accident were to occur at the Bruce nuclear plant Huron County would disappear before there could be anything done about it."

No place to stay Blyth is becoming with time quite a spot for summer folk to come and visit. We have the old mills and lovely shops and last, but certainly not least, we feature live professional theatre. Recently it has been brought to our attention by a gentleman from Brantford that for anyone travelling over 60 miles to attend the evening theatre, there isn't any place for them to stay over night. The closest motels are in Clinton and Wingham and they are limited in their size. It is unfortunate that there is no place in Blyth itself for visitors. The local hotel isn't prepared to accomodate guests and travellers find the other locations either full or difficult to find at night. For an enterprising person or group a simple, clean boarding house would certainly solve the problem for the out-of-town visitors as well as generate a bit more revenue in the village. We have the best of so many things to offer people it is a shame we cannot accomodate them further and permit them more time in our village. With another season upon us it would be foolish to wait another year to remedy the situation. A great celebration When everyone pulls together for some odd reason they get along so much better. This simple observation was well illustrated this past holiday weekend when multiple down pourings and .hours of''tlrizzle failed to dampen the festive air in Auburn. From the word go the skies remained clouded and rain kept many busy changing into dry clothes so they could get out into the rain again to keep on with the 125th celebration. Despite all the changes in plans especially for the many campers in the area, there was very little, if any, grumbling about the weather. Many remarked how good it was of the parade people to continue on as planned. The members of the parade were pleased that the onlookers stood out in the rain to see their efforts. Amid soggy shoes and dripping coats friends from year's ago renewed aquaintances and made new ones. Under the many umbrellas and makeshift shelters there were grinning faces and shining eyes. Over 800 registered but there were many more in the village who couldn't be bothered signing in because they were just too busy seeing friends and taking part in the many events. Auburn has a weekend to remember in the history and scrap books and the rain maybe just made it more so. The planners and workers need to be congratulated for all their efforts and Auburn sure didn't let anything stand in the way of having one of the best holiday weekends in the area. To the editor: Collects mastheads My brother and I have, we think, a rather unusual hobby in that we collect mastheads or flags from newspapers. The part that we s lye is the actual name of the paper, including the date and price, that is normally printed across the top of the front page. We began our collection about twelve years ago with a few local weekly papers and the British national dailies. This stimulated an interest in trying to obtain an example masthead from every paper, daily and weekly, that was printed in Britain. After about eight years, and with lots of help from the printers and publishers, we achieved our aim. We then chose to continue our hobby by saving overseas mastheads and the collection now contains over 11,000 examples from more than fifty courtries and island groups. We would be most grateful if you could assist us with our hobby by sending us a masthead from your paper, The Blyth Standard, If you have any other papers that you could spare the mastheads from for us, we would be very pleased to receive them. Thank you for your kind attention. Yours sincerely, D. Mills ,s�chester Auburn 1979 Ionoar the Memory of oar eers and Those who foliowed, gratitude to Them for Auburn's birthday plaque Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Ignoring the misery One of the saddest nuwit•estations of Canadians preoccupations with their own supposed economic woes has been our turning our hack on the rest of the world, places where there really is misery and hardship. During the election campaign we heard the demand (;uid it's being heard in the U.S. as a new election approaches) that. our foreign aid he curtailed because of the current economic problems. We just can't afford to help others when we're in so much trouble, the critics say. How patheti• cally sad. How selfishly sick, Canada (and the United States) is a word that has brought a smile of hope to the faces of troubled people for nearly two centuries. When religious persecution was strong in Europe, North America became a place where people could practice their religion in peace. When the Scottish crofters were driven oft' the land, they found land of their own in Canada and the US. When the potato famiines brought starvation to Ireland, there was a refuge across the ocean in the new lands. It was a hard life, but it offered an escape from the problems of the old world. Canada has become honk to Irish, Scots, Ukranian, French, German, Italian and nearly every nationality in the world at one side or the other. Once in a while something conies along like the current Bluth Suninier Festival play This Foreign Land that shows us ihow welcome a refuge Canada has been i'or people from other lands, So often we take for granted what we have and can't imagine what it is to be without our standard of living, our open spaces, our ability to eat well and own a bit of land or our own. Yet whenever things are going as well as we'd like, we turn our hacks on the rest of the world. We begin to feel sorry for ourselves as if there was something really to be sorry for. We pull back our help to the underprivileged of other lands and tighten our borders so more poor people can't come in and supposedly lake the jobs of those who are here. We have one of those periodic incidents of inhumanity going on today in Southeast Asia. Hundred's of thousands 01' people wlio either cant live under the new regime in Vietnam and Cambodia or are being callously driven out by the government are seeking new homes. They make their way to the nearest safe piece of land in leaky boats, some of which never make it to land. They must pay to leave their old country and if they do make it to "Freedom" in Hong Kong or Malaysia or Indonesia find anything but a warns welcome waiting for them, 'These countries, already poor, already crowded, can't stand the added pressure of hundreds of thousands of more people to feed. Sonie are shoved back into the oceans to seek new places of refuge or die trying. Others if they (10 stay on land, stay in refugee camps under horrible conditions. It's a tremendous human problem, one that :ems to need drastic solutions. It is this kind of tragedy that in the past Canada would have provided a solution. But the tragedy has come at a time when Canadians are so preoccupied by their own miniscule problems that they don't seem to be able to react to the problem. We shake our heads and say how sad, but that's about all. Our government has offered to increase the number of people to be accepted from 5,000 to 8,000 hitt that's a mere drop in the bucket in terms of the entire problem. Sure, it shouldn't be entirely our problem. Sure the Communist government caused the problem and so Russia and other Communist leading countries should help to solve every problem of this (nature that ever comes along. 13ut we are also human beings who must react to the suffereing of other human beings, We are a wealthy country that has a duty to do good with that wealth. We have space. We have opportunities for people to live a good life. We must act. But it all seems so far away. It all seems so hopeless for the individual to (10 anything, But individuals and groups have been doing things. 'Through sponsorships of refugees these people have been doing their small bit to help the problem. Imagine, for instance', if every town and village in Canada sponsored just one family what it would mean to the situation in Southeast Asia. Surely, working together we could easily come up with the money to support one family in each town until 11 could gel on its feel, And Canada needs new blood. As 'l'Inis Foreign Land shows, as history shows, it is the immigrants who conic with little but dream of a good, rich life, who give a drive to our country that keeps it moving, People who have lived here all their lives take things for granted. 'i'hey want to play it safe, to keep life comfortable. It is the people who have suffered who put the most back into the country,' Canadians, by reacting to the current tragedy in Southeast Asia can prove that they really arc caring human beings. In doing so they can help the boat people and they can help our own country, What more could we hope for?

StartingJuly 1, there were some changes made to themployment Insurance. Unless you worked at least2Oweeks in the pastyear, these changes could apply to you. In December 1978, Parliament changed the Unemployment Insurance program. Changes starting July 1 mean that some people will have to work longer before they can qualify for Unemployment Insurance benefits, Please remember, these UI changes affect only those claims which start on or after July 1, 1979. And, the changes may or may not apply to you. So please read on to see if you are affected, (You'll find terms such as "Weeks of Work'; "Qualifying Period", "Variable Entrance Requirement" (VER), and "Unemployment Rate" marked by an asterisk (*). For easier understanding, see the box "Explaining UI terms" at the end of this message.) Here are the details of those changes. Have you worked 20 weeks or more in your Qualifying Period*? If so, this message does not apply to you. For you, the number of weeks you need to qualify for regular UI benefits and for UI ill- ness and maternity benefits, or the one-time benefit at age 65 has not changed. Are you working for the first time? To get UI benefits, you will usually need 20 Weeks' Work*, no matter where you live. An exception to this would be if you were on a training course approved by the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission for at least 14 weeks in the year before your Qualifying Period*. Then you would only need 10 to 14 weeks, depending on the Variable Entrance Requirement* where you live. Are you starting to work again? If you're coming back to work after being away a year or more,you'll usually need 20 Weeks of Work* in your Qualifying Period* before you can qualify for UI benefits. This applies wherever you live. This 20 -week rule won't apply, however, if you were in any of the following situations for a total of at least 14 weeks in the year before your Qualifying Period*. These are the situations that count: 1. You were getting temporary worker's disability compensation from a provincial program; 2. You were receiving sick or maternity leave payments; 3. You were out of work because of a labour dispute at your place of work; 4. You were on a Commission -approved training course; 5. You were on UI claim; 6. You were working in insurable employment. So, for first-time workers and those coming back to work: A. If you were in any of these six situations for a total of at least 14 weeks in the year before your Qualifying Period*, then you need only 10 to 14 Weeks' Work* in the Qualifying Period*, depending on the VER* where you live, B. If none of the six situations fit your case,you will have to have worked at least 20 weeks to qualify for UI benefits. NOTE: If you are returning to work after being away more than one year, the 20 -week rule will normally apply to you. Did you get UI benefits in ttie last year? If you got UI benefits in your Qualifying Period*, there are new rules that may apply to you - unless the Unemployment Rate* in your area is over 11.5 per cent. 1. If a claim you had in the last year has not run out, you may be able to renew it. 2. If yours is classed as a new claim, you will need the usual 10 to 14 Weeks' Work* depending on your local VER*, plus up to six "extra" Weeks of Work*. The number of "extra" weeks you'll need depends on how many weeks you got on your previous UI claim, You need one "extra" week ( up to a maximum of six) for every week you got over the VER* needed in your area. Here's an example: You need 12 Weeks' Work* in your region (your local VER*) to qualify for benefits the first time. On your last claim, you drew 15 weeks' benefits before going back to work. Now, you would need the usual 12 weeks, plus three "extra" work weeks, (That's the difference between the 12 weeks you need- ed to work and the 15 weeks of benefits you drew. In total you would need 15 Weeks' Work* to qualify again within one year. The most anyone needs anywhere is 20 weeks of work to qualify. Again, please remember, when the Unemployment Rate* in your area is over 11.5 per cent, this rule won't apply to you. You'll need only 10 Weeks' Work* to qualify for regular UI benefits. Other changes have been in effect since January 1979: • The weekly benefit rate was reduced to 60 per cent of your average insurable earnings (from 662/3 per cent). • Most people employed for less than 20 hours a week are no longer covered by UI. • Higher -income claimants may have to repay part of UI benefits drawn in the 1979 tax year. This will only affect people whose income, including UI benefits, is over $20,670. This will be explained when you get your 1979 tax return. These things haven't changed: Just as a review, these points haven't changed: • You may still get UI illness and maternity benefits and the special benefit paid at age 65 if you've worked 20 weeks in your Qualifying Period*. • There's still a two-week waiting period before UI benefits start. • To get regular benefits, you must still be available for and looking for work each day you are on claim. • You must report any work and earnings while on claim. • You can be disqualified from getting benefits for up to six weeks if you quit your job voluntarily, you were fired for mis- conduct, or if you turned down a suitable job offer. • You can still appeal a decision by UI to deny you benefits. Explaining UI terms: *Weeks of Work This means weeks of work that are insurable for Unemployment Insurance. Most employment of 20 hours or more a week is insurable. *Qualifying Period What UI calls your Qualifying Period is the 52 weeks before we start your claim. Or if you had a claim in the last year, it's the time since that claim started. *Variable Entrance Requirement (VER) To qualify for Unemployment Insurance benefits, you must have worked from 10 to 14 weeks in insurable employment during your Qualifying Period*, The exact number of weeks depends on the Unemployment Rate* in the economic region where you live. (See below.) If you don't have enough weeks to qualify when you file your claim, we keep your applica- tion in the computer file. If the Unemployment Rate* changes so you then have the weeks you need, we will send you a notice, *Unemployment Rate For Unemployment Insurance, the Unemployment Rate used for each of the 48 economic regions of Canada is not the current monthly Statistics Canada unemployment rate in each region. It is a three-month average of seasonally -adjusted monthly unemployment rates, Canada's Unemployment Insurance Program Working with people who want to work.

Have you noticed how a phone call gi is immedediate attention? Usually people drop everything else, They may have a visitor but they'll answer -the phone. It's curious - but it works, And that's what we're after. There are a few aids that help. It's good to have a note pad and pencil handy. You may want to tape record the call. It's legal - if you use a suction cup with a cord that plugs into a recorder. It's a good idea to ask the person if it's OK. You don't have to. But it's good business manners. And you'll likely get more accurate information, The clerk who might quote something "off the top" is more likely to say "just a minute until I check." One thing I've found handy is a shoulder rest that attaches to the receiver, You can use your hands to take notes. Be careful though. It takes some getting used to.

They're available in libraries and some government offices, It's something like the yellow pages. A key word is listed with the description and phone number of each branch or agency involved. Some day you'll be able to phone for information and have it appear on your T.V. screen, If you have a student at home who's bored, I've a suggestion. Explain the problem. The phone book is frequently lost for days. Your list of most frequently used numbers is so badly scribbled over that Uncle Harry's number blends in with the Co-op's number, Notes go missing. And see if their creative talents can design a system that works, And since they've lesigned it --why not give them the contract to complete the job. La Leche League meets in Exeter Auburn Walkerburn Club meets The Walkerburn Club held their June meeting at the home of Mrs, Roy Daer, Mrs. Tom Cunningham and Mrs. Leonard Archambault led in prayer, Twelve members answered the roll by paying the club's dues and donating to the care of the foster child.

Dial Blyth, 523.9646. Lists breast feeding benefits La Leche League in Huron County held the first of a series of four meetings in Exeter at the home of Mrs. R. Graham. The topic of discussion was the "Benefits of Breastfeeding to Mother and Child." Many mothers, mothers -to -be and babies were welcomed by Mrs. P. Bisback, the leader The enthusiasm of the mothers for breast-feeding was evident, as they listed all the benefits they could think of, such as being inexpensiv. •paving on time spent in the kitchen, having a happy baby, taking time to enjoy the children, building a closeness with fancily, and a ready source of comfort during sickness or teething. Everyone was especially in- terested in saving money, and saw that nursing meant no unnecessary purchases of infant foods, later intro- duction of solids, and only an additional snack for mother of 400 calories - such as a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of milk. Mothers learned that breastfeeding is good in- surance. Many babies are so healthy because human milk is naturally suited to their digestive system, as well as providing immunities against colds, infections, and aller- gies. The colostrum which the baby receives for the first while contains 30 ingred- ients to nourish and sustain growth, many of which can not be duplicated. The breastmilk also maintains a level of immunit;, fort he baby throughout the nursing per- iod. In 1978, the Canadian and American Pediatric Soc- iety issued a joint statement reaffirming that human milk is the superior nutrition suited to baby's needs up to six months of age. Following the discussion, Mrs. B. Billson explained how the League's lending library works. Books and pamphlets may be signed out for up to a month. Some mailing is done to those in the country. The mothers had time to peruse the library and socialize. Because two members of the LLL group will be attend- ing the Seventh International Conference of La Leche League in Atlanta, Georgia, the next meeting will be held a week later than usual, July 18th.

Canada, which is one of the top trading nations in the world, has been involved deeply in the talks since the beginning. More than half of what is produced in Canada is exported and Canada has just become, within the past year, the world's largest exporter of fish. People in Huron -Bruce rid- ing will be directly affected by some of the break- throughs at the talks, accord- ing to McKinley, both in general terms and in specific areas of local production. The negotiations were car- ried out and completed by the former government prior to May 22 election, The agreements reached during the talks will reduce world tariff levels by one- third, so that most imported goods will cost less to the consumer, while most ex- ported goods will be able to compete for foreign markets without facing the additional hurdle of trade barriers erected by the customer country, In specific terms, this region of Canada will be affected by agreements bear- ing directly on a wide range of products produced by industries already estab- lished in the area. In agriculture, Canada has made an important tariff - reducing agreement covering more than eighty per cent of dutiable exports to the United States. Products which will benefit from. the U.S. trade concessions in- clude live cattle, certain meats, grains and oils, as well as potatoes and horti- cultural products. With Japan, our agreement increases the quota within which Canada can compete for high grade beef sales. There will also be valuable concessions from Japan on tobacco, rye, rapeseed, mus- tard seed and vegetable oils. An important deal with the European Economic Com- munity will allow improved access to Canadian exports of white beans, an important crop in Huron County, as well as to aged cheddar, canned and frozen corn, and maple products and blue- berries. There is also a major European concession on Canadian tobacco. In fisheries, several con- cessions have been achieved. Of particular interest to this region of Ontario is an agreement by the United States to grant easier access to Canadian freshwater perch. McKinley noted that the presently depressed Lake Huron fishery has in most years depended heavily on perch fish, and expressed hope that his concession would help to restore a measure of health to the local industry. In the industrial manufac- turing sector agreements have also been reached which will open new export- ing opportunities to existing industries throughout the region. Mouldings and pre-cut housing components will be granted major tariff reduc- tions for entry in the U.S. market. Similarly, doors and sashes entering Japan, as well as prefab sectional housing, will qualify for a significant tariff cut. An aircraft agreement has been reached by which the U.S., Europe and Japan, along with other industrial countries, will completely remove tariffs next January on all civil aircraft, engines, parts, flight simulators and avionics systems, as well as aircraft repair and overhaul.

It's a tradition you can't help wishing more Canadian theatres would consider. Blyth's first presentation interweaves vignettes of three immigrant families who settle in Huron County in the early 1950's. The play's second act takes another look at these families in 1979, after they've adjusted or tried to adjust to life in their new home, The play, created by writer Patricia Mahoney and the seven actors in the company, after visiting newer Canad- ians across the county, skillfully uses many of the techniques developed by Paul Thompson and the Theatre Passe Muraille company to create some spellbinding theatre. The play is also a very special tribute to the people who have contributed so much to the fabric of life in the county. This Foreign Land opens with a Dutch father reading a letter of acceptance after applying to emigrate to Canada, The father sees the move to Canada as a chance for land and a space to call his own, a place where neighbours aren't constantly com- plaining "your cows are on my property." It's left to Anne Anglin as the mother to express some of the fears in leaving the known for the unknown. The second couple is a young German boy Peter, convincingly played by Blyth newcomer Sam Malkin, and his girlfriend Anne Marie, played by Scana McKenna, who is hesitant about letting her lover go on ahead to the new world, despite his promises about a better life. Unfortunately Miss McKenna fell from the stage at the end of the first act, and had to be taken to Clinton hospital, so the cast had to omit the conclusion of this story in (heir second act. The fact the cast was able to carry on the second act and work around Miss McKenna's absence proved their high calibre of professionalism. The third couple in This Foreign Land is a Polish woman, hauntingly played by Theatre Passe Muraille actress Anne Anglin and her son Stan, played by Richard Budzinski. The mother has seen too much of war and upheaval, and when her husband sends for them from Canada, she sees a chance for her son to grow up in peace. "In Canada, there are no wars," she tells Stan. Her son's major fear is in the uncivilized wilds of the new world, "they don't even play soccer in Canada." CAPSULE The scenes selected from reminiscences of county residents are capsule histories of what any immigrant encounters - the strangeness of a new land. The Dutch father and his sons find themselves cabin mates with the German mechanic on their voyage to Canada and they remain distant until their common bond as immigrants overcomes both the bitterness of a war and the fact they speak different languages. Some of the other moving scenes in the play include the Dutch family's confusing ride on a bumpy, noisy CN train (enough to make anyone reconsider their move to Canada), their night in a Montreal jail where they're stowed by the immigration department and the Polish mother's attempt to meet his teacher's complaint that he isn't learning English quickly enough. Through her son, the mother tries to defend the time the boy spends on his music • "Chopin didn't speak English but he plays the piano real good," The teacher wants to produce a cut and dried Canadian, and hasn't time to worry about the finer things in the boy's own culture. One of the most moving scenes in the play revolves around Peter, the German mechanic. Not only is he a stranger in a strange land when he arrives alone in Canada, but he finds his sponsor has already hired someone else and tells Peter impatiently, "Me have no jobbe, com- prendez," Later he sits alone in his boarding house, trying to tell the waiting Anne Marie in Germany that "the money is slow", homesick, alone and afraid of failure, The final act of This Foreign Land focuses on the inevitable conflict between generations - complicated even more for new Canadians who are hurt by their children's rejection of their parents' language and culture, The parents have worked long and hard to create the good new life for their family only to find their children either unappreciative or uncaring. In an archetypal fight scene between father Christian, played by Layne Coleman and the youngest son, played by Richard Budzinski, we catch a glimpse of the universal conflict between fathers and sons the world over. STRONG PLAY The Blyth Festival has opened their season with a strong play, capably acted by a strong cast. If there are faults with the production, they are minor • an opening act which is a bit too long, and risks losing the audience's interest near the end, and one or two scenes which add nothing to the general flow of the play. Although Anne Anglin's sketching scene as the Polish art teacher is lovely, it's also unnecessary, One can't help hoping it was included in Friday's opening night production simply to cover the absence of Miss McKenna's scenes, This Foreign Land is a haunting production - both funny and moving by turns. The cast have captured the flavour of life in our county from Huron County fatalism on life to our peculiar love of the word "yous" and the younger generation's belief that life isn't complete until you have your own set of wheels, James Roy's direction of this play has proved once again that his contribution to the festival will be missed.

Special thanks to doctors and nurses on 1st floor. -- Orville Free, 24-79-1 Standard WANT ADS WORK Phone 523-9646 THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 4, 1979 — 15 Sugar Sr Spice by Bill Smiley Each man and woman has a way of marking off the years, With some it's birthdays. With farmers it's getting the crops in. With fishermen it's hauling out the old tub for the winter, after the last catch, With golfers it's getting in one final round before the snow flies. And so on. With teachers, it's struggling through to the end of June without going around the bend. I've just made it for the nineteenth time, and, at the time of writing, still have most of my marbles, though I can't say the same for some of my colleagues. They get queerer and queerer every year. But it is only with the silliest and most sentimental that the end of the school year brings tears, a feeling of loss, a pang of sorrow, Most of us walk out at the end of June and never really care whether we ever re-enter the old sausage factory. At approximately the same time many mothers are giving a great sigh of resignation, looking fearfully at the sum- mer ahead, when they'll have to cope with their kids twenty-four hours a day, most teachers are giving a mighty sigh of relief because they don't have to cope with those same kids at all for two entire months. It's not that teachers dislike kids, Perhaps a few of them do, but they usually wind up in the looney -bin, or slashing their wrists in the bathtub. On the contrary, most teachers have a basic liking of young people and show them, often, more tolerance and under- standing than the kids' own parents do. They'll bend over backwards to listen to problems, suggest solutions and try to motivate the youngsters. But there comes a point, a sort of sticking point, where even the most benevolent of teachers runs across a kid who would drive his own mother screaming up the wall. And often does. One of my younger colleagues is still nursing a cracked rib incurred after breaking up a fight in the cafeteria and chasing one of the boys involved half a mile to the local park, all in the line of duty. He does not love and cherish that kid. Almost every year, when a teacher is in daily contact with approximately 180 teenagers, with their sexual repressions, their hang-ups, their broken homes, their depressions, there are three or four kids he or she can barely tolerate. These few bad apples are what make teaching a very arduous profession. hey arc a daily source of irritation with their bad language, bad habits and bad man- ners. But every job has its unpleasant aspects, and if you can't cope with a few rotten kids, you should get a job where you have a rotten boss or rotten customers, or rotten pay. We read recently of high schools in the big cities, where teaching has become something Iikc running the gauntlet of physical and verbal violence. This occurs not only in "inner-city" schools, with their masses of poor kids from broken homes and immigrant kids disjointed by a different culture and language, but also from suburban middle-class schools whose students are over -privileged, also come from broken homes, have too much money, and are extremely materialistic. They look on teachers as something like an orange, to be sucked dry and thrown away, like peel. Not for me. i couldn't hack that. I'd quit. I'm no dedicated martyr, I don't want a punch-up with three druggies forty years younger. I don't want my tires slashed or my female staff assaulted. I am basically a peaceable coward. Our school is not like that, and 1 guess that's why I've hung in here so long. When I started, I had offers to teach journalism at a community college, to do public relations work, to teach at a university. But I began to grow too fond of the teenagers and backed away from these offers. I'ni not sorry. I'm no Mr. Chips. I'ni not a great teacher. But I do enjoy teenagers, with their curiosity, their sensitivity, their sense of humour, their dcveloping selves, even their flashes of anger, and always their honesty. End of terns conics, and even the little turkeys in Grade 9 who bedevilled you with their giggling or their yapping or their giddiness all year become lovable because you know they're gone for two months. And you get a nice tie from one shy little girl, and a nice card thrust through your letter -slot by another who has walker. eight blocks to do it, and a muttered, "Havea goodsummersir" from the worst spalpcen in the class, and it all makes some kind of sense. And at commencement night, you sud- denly discover that those lumpy girls in levis and work boots, in jeans and sneakers, are really beautiful young women with bosoms and golden arms and flashing eyes. That those lazy, surly, unkempt louts you tried to pound some English into for ten months are elegant, witty young men, with a shirt and tic on, who have twice the ease and poise and knowledge you had yourself at that age. And then there's the ego thing. A nice guy lurches up to you in a bar and insists, eight times, that "Youra Ness teacher 1 ever had," I go down town in July to get a paper or buy some milk, get home three hours later. Old lady sore as a boil. "Where in the world have you been?" Respond, "Ah, all the kids are home from university, and they want to tell mc, all about themselves, their problems, their love life," It's a tough life. But it has its points. CWL has 35 members The regular monthly meet- ing of St. Michael's Catholic Women's League was hetld at the home of Joan Middekaal. The meeting chaired by Pres- ident Theresa Machan open- ed with league prayers. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Secretary Jo Cronin. There was no treas- urer's report due to the absence of Mary Hallahan. The roll call was answered by the members bringing out used postage stamps. Used reading glasses and stamps are being sent to the miss- ions, A discussion followed on how often the league should send a charitable donation to the Church T.V. Program. It was moved that the club send them two cheques each year, perhaps in the spring and in the fall, Jo Cronin volunteered to take a car to St. Marys Ontario to the Catholic Women's League Deanery Pilgrimage to the Shrine on July 13. A cheque from the Blyth Centre for the Arts was received. Helpers were picked to assist with serving coffee the first Sunday in July. Yvonne Cronyn reported as Organization convenor thirty-five paid up members in the league. The meeting closed with prayers, pennies collected for the Mission and the mystery prize donated by Nellie Van Bakel was won by Mrs. A. Middegaal. The next meeting will be held at Theresa Machan's on July 26th. Auburn gets call The village of Auburn received congratulation: from Mr, and Mrs. Michael Bowler of Baltimore, Maryland on S a turday by telephone on the occasion of it's 125th birthday through their aunt Mrs, Thomas Haggitt. Michael is editorial writer for the Baltimore Sun and had planned on being present here for this occasion, Mrs, Bowler was the former Margaret French, neice of Mrs. Haggitt's. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley McNall of Welland spent last weekend as guests of Mr, and Mrs. Thomas Johnston and Miss Laura Phillips. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Haines of Niagara Falls visited on the holiday with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Donald Haines, Guests on the weekend with Mrs. Eleanor Bradnock were Mrs, Vivian Pentland of North Bay, Mr. Joe Wilson of Fort Frances, Mr. and, Mrs. Hugh Bennett of Port lbert, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Nicholson, Seaforth, Mr. and Mrs, John Menheere and Paul of Dublin, Mr. and Mrs, Gary Nicholson, Lorie and Connie of Port Albert, 16 - THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 4, 1979 Deficit $5000 But Blyth Festival board optimistic An enthusiastic Board of Directors is behind the Blyth Centre for the Af.ts (BCFA) and the Blyth Summer Fes- tival, The working board of 18 volunteers really is a working A Standard Classified will pay you dividends, Have you tried one?

"...who all have a real interest in broadening the cultural base of the area," finished Lynda Lentz, of Belgrave, Vice President of the board, The role of the board, says Mrs. Richards, is to oversee and co-ordinate the total field of the Blyth Council for the 1 Arts, of which the Festival is one aspect."

"We cannot say enough for the backing and support we've had from the village of Blyth," said the president and vice president, The Board of Directors, which provides more than ten per cent of the operating budget for the thei.trc, has been busy fund raising since December. "We've been very grat- ified by the response," said Sheila Richards, "within the county as well as corporate donations, the Canada Coun- cil, the Ontario Arts Council and the Sully Foundation," That the Blyth Festival is held in high regard in Canad- ian theatre circles was "brought home to us when we were interviewing applic- ants for the job of artistic director," "Theatre has a great fut- ure here," said Sheila Rich- ards, "70 per cent of the audience is still local. That has been the case, James (Roy) says, all the way through." The Blyth deficit is min- imal ($5,000), she said. The Board of Directors work in the "spirit of optimism," said Lynda Lentz.

R. 1, Blyth one day last week. In the front row from left are Elaine Pym, the foreman, and Julie Shobbrook of Blyth. In the back row are Andy Battye of Blyth, Bill Livingston of Clinton, and Mary Anderson of Dungannon. IT SAYS HERE—Young Timmy King is avidly reading a page given to him at the Blyth Vacation Bible school. He is just one in over 15 youngsters who are attending the classes. They are on this week only. Need a hand? Agricrew in action Students were busy painting fences and putting on window trim at the farm of Auke Bylsma of R.R. 1, Blyth on Wednesday and it was all part of the Agricrew program. The Agricrew program consists of five people who work on various farms. One of the five acts as the foreman. Farmers pay the co-ordinators of the program $90 a day and the government of Ontario reimburses the farmers $15 a day. An Agricrew can be hired for a maximum of five days depending on what work has to be done around the farm, The students working at the Bylsma farm last wee included foreman Elaine Pym, Exeter, Julie Shobbrook, Blyth, Mary And- erson, Dungannon, Andy Battye of Blyth and Bill Livingston, Clinton. The program started June 25 and the students have been working on different farms in the area since that time, The length of their stay depends on the work they have to do. What they do on these farms are the jobs that can't get done because of the other work the farmer has. Foreman Elaine Pym said the students had been doing painting, fencing, nailing tresses, picking stones and other things. Some time they will be haying and probably helping out with the harvesting. Most of the hii'h school students have had some farming experience. The student's had a little extra help in learning their, job from an Orientation Day which was held at the farm of Keith McLagen near Mitchell where the students learned about fencing and cleaning out barns. Where the students go for their various jobs depends on the work agreement that their co-ordinator draws up for them. The co-ordinator for the Huron -Perth area is Fern C'olcs of Stratford. Taskers renovating A sign in a window reading "going out of business" sets tongues wagging and many people wondering why a business would leave Blyth. Saturday evening Lloyd Tasker placed such a sign in the window of Tasker Furniture shop on Queen street. But the Taskers are not leaving, just getting out of the furniture business. The funeral home will be moved into the present furniture business and the Sears' order office in the present furniture location will be moved next door to the funeral home, Mr. Tasker said. By Monday afternoon over three quarters of the stock had already been sold. About early in September contractors will start re- novating. Blyth taxes reassessed to take out inequalities Blyth council passed a resolution asking to have the village reassessed and the tax rolls adjusted to take out inequalities in the tax system. After going into a committee of the whole which excludes press coverage, the regional assessment commissioner Floyd Jenkins of Godcrich explained the situation to council. Orange Day July 12 Figures indicated to council that one third of Blyth residents are paying too much, and one third too little. The resolution asks Lorne Meack, minister of revenue to reassess the village of Blyth under the provisions of section 86 of 'he assessment act. Parade Saturday Saturday will be a big day for Orange Lodge members here in Blyth. For the first time in ten years Blyth will host the annual Orange day parade. Members from as far as London, Stratford and Kincardine will be attending. Each year the lodges invite each other to their areas for a get together and celebration. Blyth Loyal Orange Lodge No, 963 dates back to Sept. 23, 1858 when the warrant was granted to John Templeton, the first Worshipful Master. The Lodge Hall was one of the first buildings in Blyth and still serves as the meeting place for members today. The Orange Lodge is basically a Christian Pro- testant Fraternal Association and the Orange Lodge in Blyth specializes in looking after children out of broken homes. They own a building at Richmond Hill that was once an orphanage but which is now looking after chidlren out of broken homes who usually stay there about six to eight weeks. The Blyth Orange Lodge i also has a home for the aged in Orillia that they own and operate. The Orange lodge now has 21 members, with Ted Fothergill, Londesboro , as :he present Master, The festivities will begin at :he arena at 1:30 with the ?arade scheduled to start at 2 ?.m.

Be one. friends for life iii from Me to You Spanish hideaway BY RHEA HAMILTON I love to eat out but then what woman doesn't. Last weekend we visited some friends in good old Toronto and were entertained with supper in a little hideaway on Yonge street. 1 have often read with questions, restaurant reviews in the magazines and wondered just how some of the authors found these delightful little holes in the wall, And it still escapes me how they find them. On Saturday we chanced our health and sanity by walking along Yonge street and passed by the restaurant we planned to dine at. The only indication that it was there was a small black bull sign hanging below three much larger neon sihns. Once inside you learn there was no flashy sign. There was no where to seat a crowd, There were four small tables in the narrow front and along a small passage way and out the back room five more tables. The aroma of the Spanish food was delightful when you entered and as the orders were given the air took on an even richer smell. Jan, our hostess, referred to the owner • waiter • cook - bartender as Senor Segovia. When he first started up, business was naturally slow and he did all the cooking besides waiting on tables and serving of the meals. And that's not all, He also enter- tained with a little guitar music between orders, As business improved he was forced to hire people for the kitchen but he trained them himself for the job in order to guarantee the same quality. But on to the meal, Jan and I split a huge pan of Paella which is a spicy be d of saffron rice complete with a selection of shell fish, shrimp, mussels and scallops and a hefty portion of chicken. Huron F of A wants trespass law changes BY ALICE GIBB The land use committee of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture has recom- mended that Attorney Gen- eral Roy McMurtry consider some changes to the pro- posed legislation on tres- passing on privately -owned land, The government is propos- ing to replace the Petty Trespass Act with two new pieces of legislation • the Occupiers' Liability Act and the Trespass to Property Act. The attorney general recently requested public reaction to the proposed legislation. Gordon Hill of Varna, chairman of the land use committee. said his commit- tee recognizes the proposals outlined in the new acts are a definite improvement to the current situation existing under the Petty Trespass Act.

Last weekend we visited some friends in good old Toronto and were entertained with supper in a little hideaway on Yonge street. 1 have often read with questions, restaurant reviews in the magazines and wondered just how some of the authors found these delightful little holes in the wall, And it still escapes me how they find them. On Saturday we chanced our health and sanity by walking along Yonge street and passed by the restaurant we planned to dine at. Huron The only indication that it was there was a small black bull sign hanging below three much larger neon sihns. Once inside you learn there was no flashy sign. There was no where to seat a crowd, There were four small tables in the narrow front and along a small passage way and out the back room five more tables. The aroma of the Spanish food was delightful when you entered and as the orders were given the air took on an even richer smell. Jan, our hostess, referred to the owner • waiter • cook - bartender as Senor Segovia. When he first started up, business was naturally slow and he did all the cooking besides waiting on tables and serving of the meals. And that's not all, He also enter- tained with a little guitar music between orders, As business improved he was forced to hire people for the kitchen but he trained them himself for the job in order to guarantee the same quality. But on to the meal, Jan and I split a huge pan of Paella which is a spicy be d of saffron rice complete with a select ton of shell fish, shrimp, mussels and scallops and a hefty portion of chicken. F of A wants trespass law changes BY ALICE GIBB The land use committee of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture has recom- mended that Attorney Gen- eral Roy McMurtry consider some changes to the pro- posed legislation on tres- passing on privately -owned land, The government is propos- ing to replace the Petty Trespass Act with two new pieces of legislation • the Occupiers' Liability Act and the Trespass to Property Act. The attorney general recently requested public reaction to the proposed legislation. Gordon Hill of Varna, chairman of the land use committee. said his commit- tee recognizes the proposals outlined in the new acts are a definite improvement to the current situation existing under the Petty Trespass Act. Under the proposed legis- lation, the maximum fines for trespassing would be increased from $100 to $1,000. Also, landowners would be asked to mark their property with signs or some Health Unit 4.0 (Continued from Page 13) however, deny that there was any lapse in medical care of patients.

Brussels businessmen have been going after industry and business for their community for a number of years and have not been discouraged by the problems that face them. With the installation of sewers there as well as a refreshing attitude about reaching out for what they want instead of looking for handouts, Brussels is looking forward to some changes. In a recent news story one local businessman predicted an increase of several hundred in the population of Brussels. In the past year the Brussels Business Association has been successful in attracting a pharmacy to the village, which is quite a feather in their cap. Blyth has the good fortune of being able to offer a professional theatre as well as the famous mills for the many tourists who travel along the main highway through our village. Although the Blyth merchants have made attempts at attracting new Fight industry and business to our community it certainly would not hurt to take a look at Brussels. It is obvious that enthusiasm is a large part of the battle. We can always learn from our neighbours. In this age of the almighty dollar and with everyone scrambling to spend money somewhere, not one of us can afford to sit back complacently and believe they have the world on a string. Brussels has the right idea in mind. No rest for the weary. After many festivals and shopping sprees the Brussels business community is not letting dust gather around their doorsteps. Good for you Brussels. To the editor: Wingham Centennial reunion held August 4 The Wingham Centennial Reunion is being held August 1-6, and as a part of it the Wingham School Reunion is being held on Saturday morning, August 4th, from 9 to 12, in the F.E. Madill Secondary School. We are welcoming back to the Wingham School Reunion all former and present students, teachers, school trustees, school boards and inspectors from, the Wingham Public School, the Secondary School, the Sacred Heart Separate School, the Lower Town School, the Golden Circle School and the Business Colleges. In trying to get addresses of former students we used the Grade 9 class lists from 1907 on throughout the years, and classmates in Wingham have worked enthusiastically trying to get as many addresses as possible. WE also searched for the names and addresses of the teachers and others involved in education. These hundreds of names were added to the already collected list of the Wingham Centennial Invitational Committee who then mailed out all the invitations. However, we know we did not get all the names and addresses of those involved in the Wingham educational systems and we are hoping that those who know about it will spread the word and invite any who attended or were involved in schools in Wingham throughout the years to "Come Back to School" Saturday morning, August 4th, The school bells are ringing to welcome all back, We are looking forward to a happy reunion. Be sure and come, The Wingham Centennial School Reunion Committe, Florence Reavie, Chairman The fire chief says Be sure your boat is equipped with a fire extinguisher of the proper type and size and make sure It's properly charged. An empty extinguisher is useless. This is a public service announcement sponsored by The Blyth Standard and Written by the Blyth fire Chief Irvine Bowes. Wild daisies Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston The recent embarassment over federal government's proposal to move the Cana- dian embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem points out again the weaknesses in our present system of government. Prime Minister Clark under our voting system could quite easily say that the Canadian people supported him in his decision. After all, the move had been part of the package of promises and policies he had promised to implement if elected, After all he had just received a mandate from the electorate only a few days before the volcano of controversy erupted. it was clear though that few Canadians did support the new government's policy, As the controversy went on support grew just because people didn't like the pressure being imposed through threats by Arab countries, but on the whole people just didn't see that the gain for Israel was worth all the fuss for Canadians. Eventually the government backed away from the decision as much 1 think because of the reaction in Canada as because of the pressure of the Arabs, But the problem remains, According to our system the Clark government felt it had a mandate from the Canadian people to put into action the policies it espoused when it was elected. In this particular case, however, probably most of the people who voted for the government (and it was still fewer than voted for the Opposition parties) voted because of the party's proposals, They voted more against the government in office than for the policies of the man who wanted to replace the government. Probably there are some policies that the majority of the voters supported. The idea of being able to deduct mortgage payments from income tax was probably appealing even though many claim it will hurt the poor and help the rich. Likewise the pledge to cut 60,000 civil service jobs was probably attractive to.many voters. But the more obscure policies likely did not have such support, policies such as the embassy move and the plan to sell Petrocan to the private sector, But how is the voter to get all the messages he wants over to the politicians. The voters gave a message that they didn't want the Liberal government but in doing so gave a false assurance to the Conservatives that they had the support of the people for their policies. Likewise in the 1974 election the voters sent a message apparently that they didn't want the policy of the Conservatives for wage and price controls and were willing to put up with the Liberals for another term to be rid of those policies. What happened of course was that the Liberal government discovered a year later that wage and price controls were neces- sary to break the inflation psychology and brought in the policy they had won the election by opposing. The problem is, how do we get all our messages across to the government? There are those who tell of a brave new world brought about by microelectronics which would allow instantaneous polling of the voters on any particular subject. Using home computer terminals feeding into a national communications system they say the voters would be able to flash their opinions to the legislators on any issue. Now that would be true democracy. But would it be good for the country? 1 guess I betray my true feelings when I say I'm not sure it would. If we really have a faith in democracy we should applaud such a move to get government by the people. But the potential for abuse is just as strong. True democracy would depend on a wise, well-informed voter for every decis- ion to be made. Are our voters wise enough and truly well informed enough to make those decisions, especially in our very complicated world today? If we had such a system would we need politicians at all and if we didn't have them then who would present all the various sides of every issue so people could really examine the quest- ion thoroughly? And then there are the times when what the people want is not necessarily the best for them or for the rest of the world. Before the Second World War the American people were in an isolationist mood and wanted to stay out of the wars already going on in Europe and the Pacific. But they couldn't escape those wars and eventually got involved with a good deal of loss of life of their own citizens, If they had been involved earlier, perhaps the war might have been shorter, fewer people might have perished. There is no perfect government system. No matter what technological or commun- ications miracles that may come we won't find a solution to all the ills of politics. We can only try to be as wise as we can and elect legislators who are as wise as possible. That means they will choose policies that are wise and be wise enough to know when they have chosen the wrong policy and change their minds.

A winning speech Editors Note: The follow- ing was the winning speech given by Auburn's Heritage Birthday girl Kim McDowell, As a little girl, Auburn just meant to me a visit to Grandma's, going to Sunday school, and of course a treat at the store, But now Auburn has a whole new meaning to me because I am able to relate Auburn and my family his- tory together. For instance, three miles south of Auburn, the baseline in Hullett Township on a hill overlook- ing the Maitland River is situated Ball's cemetery. This cemetery has an insigni- ficant part in my family history because my great - great -great grandmother was the first person to be buried there. This service took place on September 16, 1857. My grandmother on my father's side of the family was born just outside Auburn on the Baseline, and my grandfather was born on the home farm where I am now living. This set of grandpar- ents are living right here in Auburn and I know as a little girl it was such fun to come to Auburn for a holiday. I can remember bringing my tri- cycle with me and Grandma would send me and my sister paddling over to Harry Bead- le's butcher shop. It wasn't until recently that I learned that the building which was used as the butcher shop was moved from the farm outside Auburn where my grandpar- ents on my mother's side of the family are now living. Also the building which is presently used as Eleanor Bradnock's home and Beauty parlour was originally situa- ted on my home. One of the early music teachers of the Auburn area was my great grandmother. She drove a pony to the houses of the pupils and also taught the well-known pian- ist of Auburn, Mrs, R, J. Phillips, My great -great grandmot- her on my mother's side of the family was a member of the Auburn Women's Insti- tute when it was first formed in 1922 -thus making her a Charter Member, Well this is how Auburn and I are connected through the past, but we are also very much connected in the pre- sent. Both sets of my grandpar- ents are members of Knox United Church as well as my parents and myself. My fat- her is also a member of the Session, Both sets of grand- parents live in Auburn or near Auburn. Until a year ago I still attended Auburn Sunday school as a student but as of this year 1 help my mother teach the primary grade. I sing regularly in the church choir and am a mem- ber of the special choir which consists of people of all ages. 1 also belong to the Auburn 4-H club. Something very unique about Auburn is that for many years now when a lady reaches her 80th birth- day, the ladies of the village take her out for dinner and have a birthday party for her. The most recent one to be held was attended by over 60 ladies. 1 think this shows Auburn is a warm and friend- ly place to live, or live near. I am very proud to have a lot of my family history based around a place such as Auburn and this 125th birth day party gave me a chance to learn more of my heritage and that is very important to me. I am sure everyone here to -day would go right along with me in wishing Auburn a very Happy birthday and may you have many more.
