t e S WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 1979, BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: 25 Cents Volume 89 • No. 28 yy4^ ft,N..\.o :w it +By• 7,t Oy y AGRICREW WORKERS—Members of the Agricrew work force were kept busy at the home of Auke Bylsma of R. 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.

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. She explained that the physician that regularly attends to Heather Gardens residents had been away and that a doctor that filled in for him was released, She said a third physician, Dr. R.A. Whitman of Scaforth had been retained to look after residents. Whitman said he had seen some residents of Heather Gardens and indicated that medical supervision was not what it had been. But he did say that any medical problems were brought to his attention promptly adding that Mrs. Haskett was doing a good job of caring for the patients. Dr. Lynch told council regular public health clinics are planned for Heather Gardens for the future. He said health unit staff will visit Heather Gardens twice monthly in the summer and once a month in the winter to ensure that residents are living in a healthy environ- ment. type of coloured marker to indicate if trespassing is forbidden on their property. Mr. Hill said his commit- tee recommended that the only cause for landowner liability in the event of an injury to someone trespass- ing on the property should be when an act has been done by the landowner with "deliberate intent to cause harm to someone coming on the land." He said the land use committee also recom- mended that rather than putting signs or markers on the property warning people to keep off the land, there should be a positive entry system of signs so landown- ers can indicate when they would welcome people using their land for recreational uses. Mr. Hill said his commit- tee also recommended to the minister that there shouldn't be a limit to the damages award a judge could assess on the conviction of a tres- passer and that the damages awarded should be equal to the full amount of damages incurred. Finally, the local commit- tee recommended there be a mandatory fine for trespass- ing upon conviction of tres- passers. The committee's recom- mendations were forwarded both to the Ontario Feder- ation of Agriculture and to Attorney General McMurtry. GUEST SPEAKER The guest speaker at Thursday's federation meet- ing, held at Huron Centen- nial School, Bruceficld, was George Kloster, president of the Oxford County Feder- ation of Agriculture. Mr. Klosler showed his organi- zation's agricultural film, A Question of Balance. Mr. Klosler explained his group decided to make the film three years ago when there ,was a great deal of discusion in Oxford County about drawing up an official land use plan for the county. Mr. Klosler said while inter- est groups such as land developers were well repre- sented in discussions with county officials, no one was really representing farmers. Mr, Klosler pointed out since farmers make up only five per cent of the popu- lation, they needed to con- vince the general population to share their views on land use in the count y. They decided to produce a film outlining their views on agri- culture and the dangers of encroaching urbanization. The film took two years to produce and cost the group $22,000. The speaker said the film has since been shown all across the province on television, at agricultural conferences and has even been sent to Europe for viewing. Mr. Klosler said county officials congratulated the Oxford County F. or A, for having the greatest influence on the way the official plan for the county finally shaped up, Under the Oxford plan, there are buffer zones be - The men were less adventurous and tried the sole and veal, The food was needless to say delicious and even the owner's choice of wine left nothing to be desired. The decor included large Spanish posters, soft lights and candles on every table,1Thc bar was only a corner spot no bigger than a telephone booth and it all gave a very intimate, atmosphere, I have only one problem with the evening. If 1 ever get back to Toronto and have a free evenings to spend I will never be able to find the place alone. twcen intensive agricultural areas and urban centres and severances are allowed only in the case of the purchases of adjoining farms, without a special appeal process. Bill Crawford, the field - 1 man for the Huron County federation, told the audience the executive will be can- vassing for new federation members in Stephen, Us- borne and Ashfield town- ships on July 17 to 19, The executive also asked federation members to sub- mit the names of those people in the county who have made a worthwhile contribution to agriculture for the annual Huron County Federation of Agriculture Award.

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. To the editor: Enjoys paper Please find enclosed a money order for $10.00 in payment of the paper for one more year. I enjoy receiving the paper and although I left Blyth in 1948 the paper does help to keep in touch with all the local happenings as well as indicating the progress Blyth has experienced since that time. Your paper is surely a most contributing factor to the success and well being of Blyth and surrounding community. Yours truly, Gordon R.

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.

Ontario Cattlemen's Association 590 Keele Street,Toronto, Ontario M6N 3E3 - (416) 766-9217 Organized by the Ontario Cattlemen's Association New face in town Recently, Blyth welcomed a new health professional to the community - a chiro- practor. Dr. Doug Palmer, who grew up locally in Clinton, graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic Col- lege in Toronto in 1978, Since September, 1978, he has practiced in Goderich, and now serves the health needs 'ofthe Blyth area in response to requests by Blyth resi- dents. Dr. Palmer chose chiro- practic as a career after he had experienced relief from a Chiropractor opens office stomach ailment by a chiro- practor during his university years. EARLY HISTORY Spinal adjusting has its origins in antiquity. Approx- imately 2,000 years ago, Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, wrote "get a knowledge of the spine, for this is the requisite for many diseases." Whenever chiropractic is mentioned, most people think only of backs; however, Dr. D.B. Palmer says this is a misconception. "The best safeguard SIMPLY LAID OUT—Here Blyth's new chiro- practor shows Standard editor Rhea Hamilton how the spine is linked and operates with the rest of the body. Dr. Doug Palmer, originally from Clinton, has anew office on Queen Street. (Standard photo) against disease is a healthy body which is largely dependent upon a good nerve supply." Chiropractors do not treat disease; Dr. Palmer says they attempt to restore the body to normal function based upon the principle that a normally functioning body is the only agent capable of overcoming disease and sus- taining health. Dr. Palmer says that com- mon conditions which may often respond under chiro- practic care include allergies, arm and leg pains, numbness arthritic aches, general fat- igue and nervousness, back pain, hip pain, headaches, whiplash, menstrual and menopause disorders, blood pressure problems and sports injuries. SIX YEAR PROGRAM Dr. Palmer attended a chiropractic college for four years professional study fol- lowing a two year pre - professional university general science background. Some courses studied towards a degree in chiro- practic include: physiology, anatomy, histology, path- ology, neurology, spinology, kinesiology, nutrition, diag- nosis, female care, x-ray, chiropractic technique and parachiropractic therapeutics etc. In the final two years, the prospective chiropractor undertakes an internship in one of the college's out- patient clinics. "Our three years of x-ray training", said Dr. Palmer, "prepare a chiropractor to responsibly meet the needs of the public in the product- ion of x-ray films."

County medical officer of health, Dr, Brian Lynch, told county council Thursday that the supervision of medical care for the 70 residents at Heather Gardens resulted from complaints from a Seaforth doctor that there was a six monjh lapse in medical supervision at the home. Lynch, who refused to disclose the name of the Seaforth doctor, told council that he checked out the complaint about medic attention for residents 14 Heather Gardens because the law required him to. He told council that it was his responsibility to ensure that places like Heather Gardens: maintain health standards according to provincial law. He explained to council that he did not want to create the impression that Heather Gardens was giving re- sidents shoddy treatment. In fact he told council that the co-operation he received from the owner of the home �Av "absolutely excellent" and that he was satisfied that residents were looked after. Mrs, Clair Haskett, who operates Heather Gardens, was not upset with county involvement.

The bill included a $100 charge for a fire above Freers' hardware on Queen street involving electrical wiring. The remainder of the charge was for the cheese factory which burned June 2. The fire department had to be called a total of eight times over a two day period to stop both the major fire and smaller ones that continued to break out. The fire fighters charge $100 per hour or per call and a bill is submitted to the municipality where the fire occurred, Reeve Don Noble noted that there was some discrepancy in the total of the bill compared to the one that was finally decided upon at the firehall. The other councillors were concerned with the size of the bill and wondered if it was necessary to return so many times. The bill was held to be presented to the next area fire board meeting. The Ministry of the Environment is offering the village of Blyth a maximum of $1,500 for sanitation site cleanup and new gates. Council agreed to take advantage of the offer and discussed using the funds to prepare a new hole at the site and fix the gates already there. Council passed the necessary bylaw to enter into the agreement. The completion date is set for March 1, 1980. The subject of drains again came up before council. A study and proposal by B.M. Ross and Associates was receivekr which offers two alternatives to the three or four homes that have drainage problems fronting on Dinsley and Drummond Sts. The engineers recommended that it was not advisable to supply storm sewers at that depth, \The second alternative to take an 18 inch drain along Dinsley to Mill street and hook into the established drain there for $29,000 to $33,000 was felt less suitable. The proposed 18 inch drain would run between Dinsley and Drummond streets and go under the tracks to the creek, The proposed cost would be $32-$36,000. Council agreed to investigate costs further and will split the work over a two year period. It was agreed that the work must be done before sewer installation slated for some time in the next two years. Council briefs Blyth now has five on the waiting list for the senior citizens apartments on Queens Street council learned Monday evening. The Huron County Housing Authority sent figures to council indicating progress of the unit throughout the county. In Godcrich there are 94 on the waiting list, Clinton 38, Brussels 2, Bayfield 4, and Wingham 36. Council approved a severance for Herb Shannon to sever four lots. They would be divided by a right of way 66' x 132' on either side for a village right of way to be maintained by the village.

The 'condition of their sale to Mel Jermym, was that the scales be moved from the site by June 30. Mr. Jermym has been notified and asked council to either give him another 30 days or let the scale go to the next tender, Council accepted the tender from Henry Farms for$200 i and will notify them to have the scale removed by August 15. Council still has not been able to resolve the purchase I of the strip of land next to senior citizens apartments. It was agreed to have their account with *ivies and Ross over this purchase closed and to seek means of handling the proceedings more quickly. A $75 grant was given to the Goderich and District Association for the Mentally Retarded. This group has located workshops for the mentally handicapped in the county as well as a group home in Goderich. A resolution from Seaforth council requesting an inquiry into the situation of delays in courts was filed Seaforth concluded that un- necessary delays were costly and wasted police officer's time, Council also filed a re- solution from York council asking for a stop to conditional grants which they believe encouraged spending.

Not because school is over and there's a long holiday ahead, That's nice. But I can teach English with one hand tied behind my back. And I'm not that wild about holidays. No, the reason for the relief is that 1 have managed to wiggle my way through another year of being a department head without having any deaths, suicides or nervous break -downs among my staff. Being head of a large department in a large high school would seem to be a rather enviable position. You are paid extra for it, and usually teach one less class than the other teachers. Those are the good aspects. But there are others, and they are not all a piece of cake. I won't bother moaning about the incessant paper work, the scrambling to stay within a meagre budget with cost of books soaring steadily, the taking of inventory of about twenty thousand books. Those are the drudge jobs, and everyone, has some of this in his work. It's the personalities involved that make the job something less than a sinecure. A department head must be a combination of Momma, Polonius, Machiavelli, Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a priest, Napoleon and a touch of a psychiatrist. For one thing, English teachers are a bit more creative, articulate and rebellious than most of their contemporaries, perhaps because they continually deal with ideas, not facts. Ideas are shifty things, and the conveying of them to students is more slippery than the teaching of more prag- matic subjects: science, math, geography, shops. As a result, the English deparment head must serve as a wailing wall for his teachers who loudly and sometimes tearfully vent their frustrations at their inability to impart their own skills to their students. He must oil the joints of his department frequently, when some of its members seem about to come to blows with each other. He must act as a buffer between them and the administration. And he must stand up for them vigorously when someone is trying to shaft them. Now, I hope you are not expecting me to say that 1 do all these things. A pat on the back here, a word of praise there, a shoulder to cry on, long one-on-one talks to restore their confidence, a stern rep- rimand when necessary, frequent depart- ment meetings where we "talk things out." Not at all. If I tried to do all those things, I'd have been committed or had a heart attack long ago, I just leave them alone, let them crack up or break down, and try to show them, with invincible calm, my old theory that there is nothing, absolutely Huronview residents take ride to Grand Bend Father Hardy held Roman Catholic Mass on Friday morning. Friday afternoon, Mrs. Florence Doak, Alice Buchanan, Ruby McVittie, Phyllis Connell, Mrs. Agnes Sparks, Golda Tyler, and Mary Van Camp went on a van ride to Goderich and over to Grand Bend to -pick up tickets for "Sound of Music" which we will be seeing August 29th. On July 3rd, Margaret Mitchell, Grace Peck, Mary Ross, Margaret McQueen, Gladys Stanlake, Eunice Lamb, Mabel Garrow, Verna Elliott, Elsie Henderson, J. Cunningham, Louis Wild, and Morgan Dalton took a short trip to Blyth Little Theatre and were treated to complimentary tickets to see "I'11 be back for you before midnight". The residents stated that they enjoyed it very much. On Wednesday 'afternoon all our residents who were from Goderich went to the Kinsmen picnic at Saltford Valley Hall. After a musicial programe, the residents en- joyed a lunch of sandwiches, cheese, ice cream and coffee. Our Mrs. Florence Doak received the prize for the oldest lady in attendance. Also on Wednesday after- noon, our Over 90 Club met when Mrs. Elsie Henderson, and Cecil Skinner provided the entertainment. Cookies and tea were served by our volunteers. Mrs. Prouty held Bible Study Thursday afternoon. As Father Hardy will be away for the next two weeks, there will be no Catholic Mass. Huronview would like to wish Happy Birthday to the 22 residents celebrating birthdays this month, and especially Mrs. Hannah Wil- liamson who will be 91, and William Westlake who will be 94 years young.

It seems to work pretty well. I am rather shy and don't get involved in their personal lives, except to listen once in a while, if I can't avoid it. When they are seriously ill, 1 don't bug them, don't even go to see them. We've had three department members with serious heart trouble in the last three years. They're all back on the job better than ever. Probably because 1 left them alone, didn't show any particular sympathy and let them solve it themselves. When a couple of members are at each others throats, I tell them to sort it out themselves, not come running to me for help. We'd never think of having a meeting at which we "let it all hang out." We have the shortest department meetings in school. Most of them are taken up with ribaldry, a little business, and a quick acceptance of a motion for adjournment. We have quite an assortment. Three working mothers. One artist. One student who has been taking extremely difficult courses for several years. One poet, One guy writing a novel. One syndicated columnist. Three of us are former newspaper people. One lady teacher is a dogged and determined member of the salary committee. We have a devoted Catholic and a couple of agnostics. We have a mixture of racial backgrounds: Polish, Scotish, Irish, Greek, French-Canadian and German. Occasionally, one or two members of the department need a good blast from their head for recalcitrance, mopery or gawk. But 1 am psychologically unable to ream somebody out, and the trouble usually goes away, like bad weather, Once in a while, when I become a little depressed at the way they are draining me, without knowing it, 1 take out a booklet entitled, "Duties of a Department Head." This gives me a good laugh, when 1 realize that I am a lousy department head, and I feel better. There is only one area in which I fulfil my function. And this is a holdover from wartime. A good officer always defends the men under him, Unless, of course, they are hopelessly incompetent. When somebody climbs on the back of a member of my department, the usually benevolent Bill Smiley unsheathes his claws, and the attacker backs off, Some departments have lengthy meet- ings, terrific infighting, and resultant smoulderings. We have the happiest, most relaxed department in the school, Just want to say thanks, guys, for a good year. And next fall, don't tell me your troubles, tell your husband or wife or mother or kids, and we'll have another great year. IS YOUR PAPER DUE???. .1:0"."--.c.
