S an a • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 1979 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: 25 Cents Volume Break Er enter 89 - No. 33 Market robbed Mitchell's Fancily Market, Londesboro, was the scene of a break and enter early Thursday morning where thieves made off with a large number of groceries and n small amount of cash, Robert Reynolds of Seaforth was arrested in connection with the theft. There have been no other arrests yet. The break-in was discovered while in progress by a driver from T.B. Allen Mill. The driver was leaving with a load about 4 a.m. Thursday morning when he noticed two suspects by Mitchell's Meat Market. A call to the Goderich OPP led to the arrest of one person. Most of the groceries have been recovered but not the $100. The name of the driver has not been released until after the court hearing. A lock on the rear entrance was broken but there ivere no other damages reported. According to Mr. Mitchell, owner of the store, almost all his dinner hams and some cases of coke were missing, "They were very neat and careful" said Mr. Mitchell. "Nothing was knocked over or broken." The Mitchells said they would have a hard time knowing just how much stock was missing without a full stock taking and cash count, MY LISTENING EARS HEAR YOU — Luanne Stevenson was all smiles Monday morning when she attended the first Vacation Bible School class at the Londesboro United Church. She was part of the nursery class and was busy making a paper telephone where this, photo was taken. More Photos on Page 5. (Standard Photo) Subdivision bylaw Still in the works Preparation for a new subdivision bylaw has been keeping Blyth council on thier toes reviewing laws and land regulations. Roman Dzus of the Huron County Planning Department presented council with comments of the bylaw agreement planned to allow a mobile home subdivision north of Blyth. The bylaw changes have to be cleared with owners Gravco and Ar t Clark, Maitland Engineering firm, Wingham, before being presented to the Ontario Municipal board for final approval. Mr. Dzus pointed out where more maps were necessary to indicate relation of the subdivision to Blyth, as well as noting fences, parking areas and landscaping on the maps. Council agreed that double parking space should be allowed for each lot rather then the proposed single parking space. Mr. Dzus also suggested that a subsection be added that stipulated that all homes meet standards set by The Canadian Standards Association, Central Mortgage and the Ontario Building Code. "This is to make sure the mobile homes are constructed to standards and kept attractive and to protect the character of the subdivision," said Mr, Dzus, Another point that council felt should be cleared up in the bylaw concerns the homes themselves. The definition should make clear that the subdivision docs not include recreational or travel trailers. Property owners within 400 feet of the proposed subdivision will receive notice of the bylaw and will have an opportunity to express any objections to the plan. In other business council agreed to the purchase of a fire extinguisher for the clerks office, Council also noted that the village scale bought by Henry Farms has been cleared from the site and the lot has been filled according to the purchase agreement. APPOINTMENT Helen Gowing was appointed by council to act as a representative on the Wingham Citizens action committee. The job entails going to their meetings and reporting back (Continued on .Page 13) COMPLETELY HYPNOTIZED -- These Blyth youngsters were fascinated by Jack and The Bean Stalk Monday morning.

He returned to Sandcombe, be- came assistanteditor and then editor of the local paper. When he proceeded to take the lid off small-town life with its cliques, injustice, and fogeyism, it seemed as though he had turned the town upside down.

Suitcases and old blankets were piled along the edge of the stage and small tables and ap- pliances lined the aisles. Six people were bustling about stripping the stage and hauling the set out for the next play. The stage hands and prop people, generally termed techies, were getting ready for the next perfor- mance tomorrow night. The whole dismantling is called a strike and I had never rea- lized how much equipment is on the stage for each per- formance until I spent an hour in the Blyth Centre for the Arts one afternoon re- cently. 1 have never seen the stage bare, that is without an act on the boards. The set for This Foreign Land is relative- ly simple looking but as the pile grew of props to be put away for that production 1 was amazed at the number of items. The sets are hinged to- gether which makes it easier to take apart and adjust. And speaking of adjusting. Every main piece has its mark on the floor. There is no change from one performance to the next with the location of walls, rugs, and furniture. The crawl space under the front of the stage in the Memorial Hall allows for most of the smaller items to be stored. Donna Hrabluk, production assistant keeps herself busy finding the props and then working get- ting sets changed. The stage setting is an important part of the theatre I have learned. Tony Abrams set designer, starts every- thing with an intricate min- iature of the stage. From there he translates the de- tails to terms that the car- penters can make up. Whole rooms can be put up in a matter of minutes. The sec- tional floors are really hinged which allows them to be folded up and stored. Painted scenery is on tall panels that fold together and stack neatly in a corner out of the way for the next produc- tion. What appears like a hodge podge of material and con- fusion develops into a com- plete new world for the audience. I watched them for over an hour one afternoon after the Thursday matinee. The set was down in no time at all and all the forms were dis- mantled and placed where they could be easily found amongst the other props for the other theatre produc- tions. In the midst of all the dismantling or striking, the props and equipment for "McGillicuddy's Lost Week- end" came into view from under the front of the stage. Before my eyes a house was built and an office raised. It is a thankless task, working the extra hours to get ready for the next show. The audience never really ap- preciates the work done to get ready. The only con- solation is that when an audience leaves with a good feeling about the show all hands involved can pat them- selves on the back and say "it's a job well done." We have some growing talent in Blyth and if you missed the children's work- shop theatre production cal- led The Blyth Blackouts, you should be soundly chastised. Six younsters put on two spoofs called "I'll be Back For You Before Lunchtime" and "McGillinnutty's Fav- ourite Case." The lines were well rehearsed and the aud- ience roared at some of the lines the kids had written. Aside from a few mumbled lines everything was cleat/ heard and from the laughter well understood. This enter- prising project was the brain- child of the Blyth summer festival and two groups of children took part in the planning for three weeks. The end result was their own theatrical production. After this sample of young village talent I hope we can all look forward to seeing more of them in the future. A Standard Classified will pay you dividends. Have you tried one? Dial Blyth, 523.9646.

Some work slowly and carefully over long years of community life and then there are those who burn all their energies into a short time and then go on to other challenges. One such individual is leaving Blyth but undoubtedly will be remembered for years to come for the work done in our community. James Roy and his wife Anne came to Blyth five years ago with a dream that took on a real form and now lives and breathes in the work done at the Memorial Hall.• They were among a small number of people who initiated the restoration of the Blyth Memorial Hall and put its' excellent sloped theatrical structure to good use. As a result, Blyth has become a major attraction in Huron county and indeed midwestern Ontario for for audiences wanting to see good Canadian plays James has certainly done an incredible job during these past five years in establishing the Blyth Summer Festival. As a small gesture of thanks and good luck, the Blyth Centre for the Arts is holding an open house on Monday, August 20 in Memorial Hall at 8 p.m. The public is invited. See you there. Commoh sense and the eclipse It never fails that when you tell someone not to do something that some insist on going ahead and hurting themselves. Across Canada 17 persons had their eyes injured by watching last February's eclipse of the sun. The Canadian Association of Optometrists kept the public well informed through the media of the hazards of watching the eclipse and offered suggestions about how to view the eclipse without harm. The injured include an Ontario boy who is now legally blind and an Edmonton woman who lost her job after her vision was damaged. At present the most severe case of eye injury occurred to a young 16 year old Dryden boy who viewed the eclipse for 30 minutes. His central vision was completely obliterated, reducing it to 20-200 which classifies him as legally blind. Even after all these facts and figures are released it will be interesting to note just how many of these same figures will still hold true after the next eclipse eastern Canada can see in 2024. Maybe the grandchildren of the future will have more common sense than a lot of people have shown this vPar To the editor: You're invited As you are aware, James Roy is conclud- ing five busy years as Artistic Director of the Blyth Summer Festival. He has made a tremendous contribution to the theatre in Blyth and to the growth of original Canadian theatre in Canada. The Board of Directors is holding an open reception in honour of James and Anne on Monday evening, August 20th, 1979, at 8:00 p.m. in Blyth Memorial Hall. It is a tangible way for us to say "thank you for a job well done." We extend a cordial invitation to the citizens of Blyth and community to attend this event, and look forward to seeing many of you who have supported and encouraged the Blyth Sum- mer Festival over the years. Sincerely, (Mrs. W.B,) Sheila Richards President, Board of Directors The fire chief says If you are planning on burning wood this winter but, have no past experience contact any member of the Blyth Fire Dept. -- They can supply you with a fire book on , setting up wood burning equipment. This is a public service announcement sponsored by The Blyth Standard and written by the Blyth fire Chief Irvine Bowes.. Tools ofa musicians trade Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston History's lessons People who believe that the human race is progressing toward a better life would like to think that we arc always going forward, The frustrating part of it all is that so often we seem to have to back up to get ahead, We seem to spend a good deal of our time forgetting the lessons of the past generations and being forced to go back and learn them all over again. The thought came to mind the other morning when I was sitting on the picnic table doing one of those endless strings of menial jobs that have to be done this tune of the year, It had been a cool night and the air still had a chill reminding me that autumn was coming fast. But I was sitting in the sun and the strength of the sun soon had me sweating. It reminded me of those surprising days in late winter when we rediscover the heat of the sun even though everything around us is still in the deep freeze. The heat of the sun is one of those things we're slowly rediscovering now that the cost of "conventional" fuels is escalating our cost of living, (Strange isn't it that we now refer to oil and gas as conventional when only a few short years ago they were revolutionary new fuels.) At first it was just afew ecology freaks who promoted using the sun for heating. To those of us who had long been brainwashed by the mass media and the Canadian propensity to hate winter into thinking that the sun spent all winter in Florida or some other tourist resort just like most other Canadians, the proposal seemed preposterous. 1 must admit to being a doubting Thomas. The proponents of the so-called alternate energy sources had a little too much religious zeal about them. Then too we were all brought up to know that you don't get something for nothing. Now of course the value of making use of solar energy is recognized by nearly everyone. Many people of course still don't believe the solar power is the answer to all our problems like the real solar power advocates often seem to but the uses of the power from the sun are being recognized more and more. We have solar -heated houses and solar heaters for swimming pools and solar heaters for hot water needs of large institutions and even solar -heated corn dryers. But the strange thing is that it's not' new. Oh some of the applications of solar power are new; some of the technology for getting the most out of the sun is new; but people have for centuries been making use of the sun to provide heat for various needs. It's much the same with wind power. More and more,people are taking a look at winds as at possible source of reasonably priced power. Yet wind power is one of the oldest tools of mankind. People once used it for powering sailing ships. Every child who grew up on a farm in Ontario knew the use of wind power well through the familiar windmill used to pump water. in European countries wind was used to grind grain and provide power for other industrial needs. We've never quite gotten away from forgetting the power of water in Canada. in the initial settlement of eastern Canada nothing played as large a hand in deciding where towns, cities and villages would be built at the availability of water power. One of the prize possessions t'or early entre- preneurs was the right to damn up a river to provide power to run mills for making grist, flour, sawing lumber, running carding and woolen mills. Later in the early days of electricity towns used these dams to generate the first power available. Today huge dams still provide the builk of the power needs of our province. 1 wonder how long it will be, however, before people begin to remember the potential of all the old mill ponds in the southern part of the province and begin to install small generators to make power from the ever -flowing waters. One of the ironies of the history of mankind is that we never learn lessons from the past. We always feel that our generation is the one that will break new ground and escape the restrictions. of the past. When it comes to technology we're often a little like the man who has been married happily to a beautiful woman for ten years. Suddenly an equally beautiful, but younger woman moves in next door and excites his interest to the point he forgets all the good times he's had and can only see greener pastures. He soon finds out that his romance with the new woman is only a hollow, fleeting thing and he realizes that he's been a fool and is happy to get back to his real, true love. We threw away so many things in our rush to greet the new technology of the 20th century, We were so sure we knew better than our fathers. We could put a man on the moon. We could make computers. We could have an endless string of luxuries, We could also have air so polluted we couldn't breathe it safely. We could turn the very rain that is supposed to bring life into a killing thing. We could trap ourselves into a way of life so wasteful, so based on cheap energy resources that the most powerful nations on earth could suddenly be powerless because others realized that oil to us was like a fix to a heroin addict. Like breaking many habits this one will likely be painful. 1 wonder how many other lessons we'll have to learn from the past we've forgotten before we can really progress.

Councils co-operate on costs HEATHER FOTHERGILL East Wawanosh and Morris Townships agreed to share 50 per cent of the operating costs of Belgrave Community Centre at a meeting Thursday night. This was one of a series of proposals brought forth by the Township of East Wawanosh Recreation Committee in an attempt to offset the $2,000 deficit on the Centre. The Committee had eight proposals for managing the Centre. They were: members of East Wawanosh and Morris Townships be appointed to the board to operate and maintain the centre; an equal number of members from each community sit on the board - about eight to ten; a chairman of the board be elected; each Township will pay 50 per cent of the operating deficit costs; the board submits budget estimates to each recreation committee; fund raising respons- ible to reduce and eliminate the deficit; the board may be dissolved by written agree- ment signed by council of each Township; and the board will accept the expenses of the building. The two Townships broke into groups to discuss the proposals. Both decided to establish a separate board, East Wawanosh decided on the following fund raising activities: the fowl supper, a draw or lottery, an auction or garage sale, and to enlist the help of the Hi -C group. The Townships decided the board would be composed of council members, a Women's institute member, summer and winter sports representatives, Kinsmen and a chairman would be elected from the group. If another deficit arises or the Recreation Committee finds the new board is spending too much money, it will be dealt with at the time. The board will be autonomous with equal representation but will not be eligible for provincial grants. The budget of the board will be submitted annually after being approved by each council, The new board will accept the expenses of the building.

The conciliator recommended the following monetary terms: An overall wage increase of 28.8% during the 30 -month life of the agreement including a 10.5% increase upon signature of the contract, retroactive to December 1, 1978. This brings the annual salary of a senior level technician in a major centre up to $22,837.50 from the present $17,719.29 by September 1, 1980. In addition, he recommended a cost -of -living allowance in January 1981. Bell agreed An additional increase in the range of 1% to 2% for all employees located outside of Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton and Windsor. Bell agreed Further wage increases of 1% to 2.5% for all employees in certain job classifications. Bell agreed Improved overtime provisions, including higher pay for overtime, so that a senior level technician could earn up to a maximum of $22 per hour; more vacation and paid holidays; higher shift premiums and better travel compensation. We agreed, although the entire package went far beyond our earlier proposals. The union said no. We regret the inconvenience to the public but we feel our position is a responsible one.

Are you between the ages of 12 and 26 years (as of September 1st, 1979)? If the answer is "yes" to both questions, then you are invited to become a part of the 4-H Homemaking Club in your community. It is a fun way of learning and a terrific way to meet new friends. This upcoming "Needle - Lawyer talks to council point" 4-H project, which will begin in September, involves a total of at least 7 meetings. Members will learn and work 7 needlepoint stitches on a sampler which will then be made into coast - Land deal delayed BY RHEA HAMILTON Paul Ross, village solicitor, gave codncil a progress report on the purchase of land from the T.A.Gordon Estate, Monday night. The land located directly south of the senior citizens apartments comes up for tax sale this year and council is anxious to close the deal before then, The land has been under negotiation for a year now and the offer to purchase was accepted some months ago by the estate's Canadian lawyer Mr. Markson, Toronto. "I have tried diligently to avoid ex- ?ropriation proceedings due to cost and prolonged legal tangles" said Mr. Ross, "It is a difficult situation -the estate originates in • England". Council is interested in the land for future development around the senior citizens apartments. At present there is a waiting list of six for the apartments, Council has signed the necessary offer and purchase forms and needs only the required signature from the owners to finalize the arrangements, It was agreed that Mr. Ross should make an appointment with Mr, Markson and that a member of council accompany Mr. Ross, If that fails then council will start expropriation proceedings which may take another 1 to 2 years to finalize. Allan Thompson and building inspector Eugene McAdam approached council over a proposed addition to the Thompson home. The addition would mean ripping off the front porch and the 12' addition would sit approximately one foot further into the street than other homes on the block. Mr. McAdam suggested a back extension over the septic tank. With sewers coming in the next two years council felt it was :feasible to build over the septic tank with approval from the Huron County Health Department. The area is zoned residential but the addition is less than 25 percent of the house ;pace and therefore the zone does not need hanging to commercial.

Try Following Directions As the saying goes, if all else fails, read the directions. That's an old adage that cer- tainly applies to home freez- ing, In spite of the fact that most consumers agree that home freezing is the quick- est, easiest, safest and, in most cases, the, tastiest way to preserve fresh summer produce, there are still quite a few of us who manage to make a few errors each year and end up with frozen food that is of less than adequate quality. If you're one of these people you might be able to ward off potential problems by reading the following list of Do's and Don'ts, DO blanch vegetables, Blanching, which is simply the dunking of a small quan- tity of raw, prepared veget- ables into a pot of rapidly boiling water for a few min- utes, is the basic step to suc- cess in freezing vegetables, There are some exceptions to blanching , . , herbs, pep- pers, turnips and tomatoes can be frozen as is. DO use good quality, thick plastic bags which have been specially designed for freez• ing. It is practically impos- sible to ward off freezer - burn, hold stewed fruit or pureed vegetables and pro- tect the delicate flavors of most fruits by using plastic bread bags or the supermar- ket type designed to trans- port your vegetables from the store to your crisper. These are not thick enough to provide a proper mois- ture barrier, Furthermore, many of these bags, particu- larly those from milk, carry natural food bacteria which washing may not destroy and which could affect the quality of your frozen foods, DO selectthe best quality freezer bag you can afford, The investment is small com- pared to the cost of the food and the time invested. Look for bags which are thick to protect against moisture loss and resist tearing or splitting, DO label every package of food you freeze. If you put nothing else on the label, at least indicate the date. Some people report disappoint- ment in their products as- suming they were last year's vegetables when they could I be two years old or more, , The best way to label a pro- duct is to date it in the same fashion as supermarkets us- ing the "Best Before" con- cept. You would need a freezer guide that tells you the maximum time any given food should be frozen. DO remove all air in the 1 bags of any food that won't expand when it freezes. To do this, when the freezer bag is filled, insert a straw into the mouth of the bag, hold- ing the bag tightly around the straw, Draw the air out of the bag, slip out the straw ' and twist the bag around a few times. Then quickly twist -tie tightly, DON'T blanch too much A Chequing Account that pays inh/o/ 2 INTE PLUS 3 Free Cheques each month PLUS A Passbook Record of all your transactions PLUS Free Chequing for senior citizens 60 years of age and over PLUS Cheque Forms provided by STANDARD TRUST OPEN A STANDARD TRUST CHEQUING-SAVINGS ACCOUNT TODAY STANDARD ACCOUNT TRUST WhOsam, 237Josephine Street, phone 357-2022 at one time.

There was no guest speaker but members talked about their commodities, This is part of a scheme to get more membership involvement at the meetings commented Bill Jongejan, president of the local. The common problem among the speakers was the dissatisfaction of the members concerning quota transfers, The quota on broilers has been frozen since 1976 said Mike Dykstra in his brief summary of the history of the broiler quota system. Mr, Dykstra pointed out that their board is unable to control imports and that the high value placed on quotas are problems to be dealt with. "There is a tendency towards a free THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 15, 1979 - 13 Quotas discussed system because who knows his own business best but the producer himself," Mr. Dykstra said, John Boven felt that the egg marketing board was working well for the egg producers, Mr, Boven pointed out that the marketing boards were there with quota restrictions in order to achieve greater stability in the market place, The Canadian Egg Marketing Agency (CEMA) was formed in 1964 and estab- lished a 100% quota per farmer and then scaled the whole system to the provinces. At present in Ontario producers are producing at 66% of their basic quota. That means 8,1 million eggs. Milk is another matter all together and as Bill Dkystra put it, "It's full of problems," But the milk marketing board has been doing something about the problems, The Area wedding Sweet corn makes a tasty treat GLAVIN—FRANKEN Margaret Mary Franken, daughter of Mrs. Emma Franken and the late John Franken of 112, Auburn and Leo Thomas Glavin, son of Mr, and Mrs, J.A. Glavin of R.R.2, Crediton, were married in St. Augustine Church on August 4. Rev. Father Dettinger officiated at the double ring ceremony, The maid of honour was Rosemary Foran of R.R.2, Auburn and the bridesmaids were Glenda Wood of R.R.3, Blyth and Cathy Beyersbergen of R.R.2 Lucknow. The best man was Tom Dietrich of R.R.3 Dashwood and the ushers were John and Eddie Franken of R.R.2, Auburn. The organist was Mrs. Marie Amos and the soloists were Cyril and Ann Boyle. Following the wedding, a reception was held at the Saltford Valley Hall and guests attended from Mississauga, Burlington, and Cold Water, Michigan. Following a wedding trip to Northern Ontario, the couple will reside at R.R.1, Exeter, (Photo by Phillips.) Fresh Ontario sweet corn is on the market now, available from local food stores, roadside markets, and pick -your -own farms. Treat yourself to corn -on -the - cob often during the season, which continues through August until the end of September. To fully enjoy the delicious flavor and tenderness of sweet corn, food specialists at the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food remind us how important it is to cat corn as soon after picking or purchasing as possible. In just 24 hours after picking, corn can lose up to 50 percem of its sugar. So refrigerate the corn and plan to use it the day you buy it. If it is absolutely necessary to store corn, keep it in the re- frigerator with the husks on and use it the next day. Food specialists suggest a couple of things to watch for to determine the freshness of the corn before you buy it. Choose cobs that have fresh - looking green outer husks and dry silks. As the corn gets older, the silk will start to fallout. It isn't necessary to peel back the husk of the cob to determine the maturity of the corn. Just hold the cob tightly at the silk end, which is the last part of the car to mature. If the corn is ready, you will be able to feel the firm Targe kernels i through the husk, Still in the works (Continued from Page 1) to the area about the progress Wingham and District Hospital is making in putting a stop to the reduction of active treatment beds. Council received the insurance bill which has increased by $724. The bill, presented by Frank Cowan Insurance Co., noted increases in fire area insurance to cover the cost of equipment, Last year Blyth paid $1,607 and this year it is up to S1,806. Arena costs were down $103 to $4,873. Blyth council received word that the new tax assessment will be ready for council's approval before the tax year 1980. A request for relief funds from the Ottawa township of West Carlton was filed, Councillor Helen Gowing reported to council of a recent recreation meeting. The shutters on the upstairs windows of Memorial Hall are to be taken down and stained dark. It was suggested that some form of insulation be put against the windows to save heat in the winter and cool air in the summer while the air conditioning is in use, The Blyth Centre for the Arts required , that someone from the village council sit on the building committee for the new addition to the hall. Bill Howson was nominated and will be referred to if there are any difficulties in the construction, A complaint was received concerning the weeds on the lot adjacent to the senior citizens apartments. Council suggested the topsoil be levelled and grass planted in the fall. Council is also applying for a permit for an extrance onto Hwy#4, board has changed the milk year to run from August 1 to July 31, from April 1 to March 31. Hopefully this will encourage more winter production said Mr, Dykstra. The board has also allowed producers to sell up to 10% of their quota without the board claiming their 50% of the sale, Mr. Dykstra outlined the quota transfer system for milk producers. The board claims 15% of the quota off the top and puts it into a 'kitty.' The board then buys 50% of the quota at 9e per litre and the remainder is sold on the open market where it can be purchased for as much as 35 - 40e per litre, Producers are allowed to apply to the board to get board held quota back at 9¢ per litre, The dairy industry is in the process of creating a new quota transfer policy, hopefully in time for 1980 Mr, Dykstra said, "We need a 5 year program to depend on" said Mr. Dykstra. "There are too many changes in the industry every year." Bill Rooseboom listened to all the problems before speaking to the members: about the pullet business, Pullet growers at present are only an association and are affiliated with the Egg Marketing board, Mr, Rooseboom pointed out that they have met with the egg marketing board to try and establish a separate board for the pullet growers. The problem stems from the fact that when the eggs are cut back so are the pullets and the pullet growers would like to be able to go into eggs or breeding when this happens. Mr, Rooseboom pointed out that some egg producers fill their empty barns with pullets, therefore making business hard for the pullet growers, Pullet producers have to be licenced and the Pullet Processors Association has put a halt to new producers after January 1, 1979. Pullet growers have dropped in number. In the past five years the number of producers has dropped from 300 to 150. Mr, Rooseboom seemed hopeful about the future of the producers. "In January when the egg board has its elections, a committee will be formed of 13 pullet growers," Mr, Rooseboom said, "From this committee 2 members will be appointed to sit on the egg marketing board," There has been an expansion in the pullet business, At present there are 300,000 pullets in Duron County. Mr. Rooseboom discussed the con- version right that producers want accepted by the egg board, This right would allow a pullet producer a once in a lifetime chance to change his operation over to an egg producing operation and be under the egg marketing board, But the flaw comes when the egg marketing board requires these producers to buy their egg quota. Pullet producers feel that would be unfair. The new federal stabilization program came under discusssion. Members have been asked by their provincial board to discuss supporting this program and consider the limits on the products covered, Mr. Jongejan went over the program generally but members wanted to know more. The plan is proposed by the federal government and offers a leveling out of the market for the farmers. The program will take out the low in the market and put the brakes, on a downward trend. Among other comments members wouldn't consider endorsing it if the price of their land was not taken into consider- ation. Other members wondered if the plan allowed for profit. The forumla for the plan is cash costs and cost of production would be subtracted from the price of the product for a five year period and compared to one year of the plan. Joining would be voluntary and farmers would enter plans for the com- modities they produce. The program has been compared to insurance against poor prices.

THE BLYTH STpNDRRO. AUGUST 16. 1979 - 16 The Sound of Music provides a harmonious finish to season The Huron Country Play- house winds up a most successful season with a family favourite, The Sound of Music. The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical tells the true story of the von Trapp family, who fled from Germany during Hitler's re- gime to the safety of America, where they became famous folk singers. It begins in the abbey of Nonnberg, Austria, where a young postulant Maria, played by Deirdre Van Winkle, is more intersted in singing than doing her assigned chores, She is sent off to become governess to Bulldozer stolen near Walton A bulldozer valued at approximately $25,000 was taken from a field on the farm of Harold McCallum of IRA , Walton. The vehicle is owned by Robinson's Farm Drainage Limited of Ailsa Craig. At some' time between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning, it disappeared. Summer forage The Ontario countrysiae is humming with harvest activity, but already, some farmers are planting forage crops for next year. Summer seedings of alfalfa or legume mixtures require the same preparation as spring planting, says Prof, R. S. Fulkerson, Department of Crop Science, University of Guelph. Although spring seed ing s of new hay or pasture meadows are superior to those seeded in summer, circumstances sometimes dictate that summer seedings be made. In such cases, an early seeding date is important to establish the crop. "Sow early, at least a month before the normal seeding date for winter wheat", says Prof. Fulkerson. "Early August seedings must have sufficient leafy growth and roots to store food for winter, A well -worked, firm seed- bed is essential for good germination, To achieve veed control. summer fallowing is recommended a few weeks before seeding. When planting forage crops in summer, a companion oat or barley crop should never be used. Lack of moisture often means that the hardier, fast-growing grains stifle the forage crop. "Never cut or graze summer seedings the same year," warns Prof. Fulker- son. "At least 0.3 m (1 foot) of top growth is ncessary to store food reserves in the roots and to provide insulation from low tempera- tures during winter. This encourages persistent stands and high yields in following years." To prevent winterkill of established forage stands, the farmer must not allow cutting or grazing in those fields after the critical fall harvest date in his area. Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food Publicaton 296, 1979 Field Crop Recom- mendations, contains a map indicating the dates applicable to farm locations throughout the province. It is Police ask that anyone who saw a truck or a float carrying a bulldozer matching the above description call the O.P.P.

Contributed On Sunday, August 5, an information meeting re- garding refugees was held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church Parish Hall in Clinton. A number of people from the area attended, some representing churches or groups wishing to sponsor refugees. Father Hardy introduced the guest speaker Mr. Brian Van Hove. Mr. Van Hove, who has been working with refugees since 1975, gave a back- ground of the refugees' difficulties, He explained how the communist govern- ment is persecuting the "middle class" people which could include anyone owning a business ranging from farmers to lawyers and doctors. Many educated people or those known to be against communism are ex- ecuted or sent to reeducation camps. Families, husbands and wives, parents and children, cna become separated in this way and have no way of knowing when or if they will be reunited. Some are sent to farm labour camps in the interior where they are given very little food, no medical care, and hundreds starve. As there is no real peace yet and the government isn't allowing refugees to return, those who have risked their lives to escape this harsh regime couldn't go back even if they wished to return to the relatives and homes left behind, The communist governments speak of Human Rights but according to Time magazine, in Cambodia alone the govern- ment has killed over 2% million people out of a population of 7% million, Borders are being closely pa trolled and those caught trying to escape are im- mediately shot to death, Thousands of refugees are unable to stay in their part of the world because countries like Thailand and Malaysia already have too many. They are poor and under- developed and cannot accept more people. So, the re- fugees end up in camps where conditions are very poor. Overcrowding, poor shelter, and inadequate food take their toll. Some are stranded for months, ever years. It is left now for countries like Canada and the United States, which enjoy among the highest standards of living in the world, to help these people, Father Hardy and Mr, Van Hove then spoke about the role of the sponsors and their responsibilities. A question and answer session ended the meeting and literature giving information about individual and group spon- sorship was distributed. More information is available from Operation Life li ne in Toronto.

OPEN WEEKDAYS 'TIL CURTAIN TIME Fri. & Sat. 'til 9 p.m. during the Blyth Summer Festival Chargex Cards Welcome 523-4351 Valerie Dale Proprietor The Dashwood Pipe Band played for the Tolls 50th Anniversary Party. Lakeside celebration Tolls celebrate 50th anniversary A golden wedding anniversary celebration that was delightfully different was that of Dr, Charles and Laura Toll of Scaforth, To honour her parents on this occasion, on Sunday, August 5, Jill and John Farrugia opened their lakeside summer home at St. Joseph to relatives and friends. Guests mingled over punch bowls which graced the buffet table on their home's spacious sun deck near the water's edge, Several caught the look of bewilderment on Dr. Toll's face when he heard band music in the distance, and the look of utter amazement when he spied his band march- ing down the hill in full regalia. Under the direction of Harry Hoffman of Dashwood, the band took up their positions on the beach and entertained the guests during the afternoon. To the delight of the deck audience, Dr. Toll handled the baton for several numbers, Harry Hoffman present bandmaster, congratulated Charles and Laura on their SOth anniversary, and paid tribute to Dr. Toll's contribution to band parades and concerts in many Huron areas. Band president Harry Maas of Exeter also spoke words of congratulation. James Sims, band member, related humorous anecdotes about the goings on of Dr. Toll and his band during their travels and concerts. He also spoke of the Doctor's undying interest in the development of the musical talents of young people. For example in a room at the back of Dr. Toll's upstairs dental office in Blyth, in the '30's, he would instruct a high school student in the intricacies of the mastering of the bass horn while waiting for the completion of a freezing process preceding tooth extraction of a patient in the chair. Melda McElroy of Blyth, M.C., told of the places where the Tolls have resided and the capacities in which Dr. Toll has served: Kingston, in the Dental Corps; London, for the Board of Education; on a Dental Car in Northern Ontario; in private practice for 25 years in Trail, B.C.; on a supply ship in the Arctic; in Kingston, Jamaica, for Operation Friendship, and presently in active dental practice in Scaforth. Messages of congratulation were read from William Davis, premier of Ontario; Chris Speirs, M.P. of Cambridge; Jack Riddell, M.P.P. for Huron -Middlesex; Bob McKinley, M.P. for Huron -Bruce, and Edward Schreyer, Governor-General. Dr. Clair Duncanson of London, Univer- sity of Toronto classmate of Dr. Toll, proposed a toast to the bride and groom of 50 years. Delicious refreshments were served after which Charles and Laura cut the wedding cake, and thanked the band for their gift of a handsome wall clock, their daughter and son-in-law for their gracious hospitality, and their friends for the part they played in making the afternoon a memorable one. Guests attended from Malta, Ceylon, Denmark, Victoria, B.C., Alberta, Kingston, 'London, Detroit, Exeter, Dashwood, God- erich, Scaforth, Auburn and Blyth. Last Night Thurs.

We will always remember the way he looked, And the way he spoke and smiled, The little things he said and did, Are with us all the while. He meant so very much to us, But nothing we can say, Can tell the sadness in our hearts, As we think of him each day. He never failed to do his best, His heart was true and tender, And those who loved him most of all, Are the ones that will always remember. No one knows the grief we share, When we all meet and you aren't there. Though absent you are always near, Still loved, still missed, still very dear, — sadly missed by Ruth and family. 25-85x1 DOUGHERTY: In memory of , Russell Dougherty, who pas- sed away 2 years ago, August 16, 1977. He is gone but not forgotten And, as dawns another year In our lonely hours of think- ing, Thoughts of him are always near, Days of sadness will come o'er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow .hat lies in the heart con- cealed, Remembered by the family 25-85-1 27 Births FRANKEN•Mr. and Mrs. Harry Franken are pleased to announce the safe arrival of their daughter on July 27, at Clinton Public Hospital.

Clinton NOM 1L0 Duties to commence Tuesday, Sept. 4th , ZO THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 15, 1979 Sugar Sr Spice by Bill Smiley Hot null fer ya? By the time this appears in print, I may be looking through drawers for my longjohns. That would be typical of the weather in this Canada of ours, But as I write, holed up in my study with the drapes drawn and the fan blowing, ' we're well into the second week of one of those scorching summer sessions that we masochists in this country endure and even enoy, in a perverted way. We suffer, but we suffer with a certain pride. One wilted citizen will say to another dripping one, "Ain't it a corker?" And the other will respond, almost joyously, "Ne- ver seen the beat of it," On the streets of our towns and cities, we duck from one air-conditioned haven to another, catching our death of cold in the process. Smart people take a heavy sweater to the supermarket so they won't freeze their extremities, and peel right down to those extremities as soon as they get back into the street, What a crazy way to live. Six months ago, and six months from now, we'll be doing the opposite, ducking from one over -heated place to another, and bragging about the cold, I wonder if there is another nation in the world that talks as much about the weather as does ours, I'• doubt it, Perhaps it is because we are rather shy and inarticulate when it comes to opening a conversation. As a result, we commence with, "Cold nuff fer ya?", or, "Hot nuff fer ya?", and can nearly always be certain that the person spoken to, even a complete stranger as long as he's a Canadian, will respond with something like, "Real brute, izzen it?" This retort covers extreme days in either winter or summer. If an immigrant, unfamiliar with our opening gambits, makes a sensible remark about the weather, such as, "My, it is unpleasantly warm today, is it not? ," we go right on the defensive, with, "Ah, this is just right. Wait'll the real heat wave hits, It'll slaughter ya." Or if a similarly untutored foreigner, just trying to be pleasant in February, "Mein Gott, zis is a cold country in vinter, Hein?", we snarl, "Nah, she's mild this year, Ya shoulda been here last winter. Forty below for three weeks straight." Yes, there is a certain arrogance in Canadians when it comes to our weather. Nobody much likes rain and wind. But Odd weather blues when, it comes to hot and cold, we are fascinated by temperatures. We exchange weather reports, We remember winters and summers as far back as thirty years. If some unusually urbane Canadian ventures to utter a, "Nice day, eh?", we usually come back with a yabbut. "Yabbut there's a big blizzard comin' in from the West." Or, "Yabnbut it's supposed to rain all next week," Canadians know, without being told, that if a winter week has been sunny and sparkling, it's going to snow and blow on the weekend, They are positive that, if the summer has been ideal, warm and dry and delightful so far, it will be cold and wet when it's their turn to go on holidays. The weather is so much a part of our national psyche that it's a wonder it hasn't crept into politics. On second thought, it has. Elections are carefully geared so that they don't occur in midsummer, when nobody gives a damn about politics, nor in mid -winter, when it's too cold to get out the vote. One of these days, so enthralled are we with the weather, that we'll probably have a couple of guys running for prime minister who are weather forecasters. And the one who gives the most horrendous forecasts will win in a walk. 1 am not sneering at my fellow Canad- ians obsession with the weather. I am as bad as the next, There's nothing l enjoy more, on a winter day, than blustering in from the cold, tearing off my boots and overcoat, and asking all and sundry, "Did you ever see such a rotten winter?" And sure enough, someone will retort, "Yabbut we had two feet more snow this time last year." In summer, I sizzle around the golf course (my body, not my score) and whine with the best of them, "Isn't this brutal? My lawn is baked black. It was 98 in our bedroom last night; and one of the foursome will come back with, "Yabbut remember last summer, when we hadda Every week more and more people discover what mighty jobs are accomplished by low cost Standard Want Ads, Dial. 523-9646.

You can't win, One of the few Canadians who doesn't care about the weather is my wife. When we had babies, she'd pop into the office in the middle of a blizzard. "What in the Sam Hill are you doing out on a day like this?" And I'd discover that she'd thought the baby needed some fresh air, and pushed the carriage through the snow for half a mile. Her indifference to our great national conversation piece infuriates me. We had a bitter quarrel just this week, I'd been out in the car, and told her the guy on the radio said it was 96 downtown. She said she didn't believe him. With a touch of warmth 1 repeated what they guy on the radio had said. Ninety-six degrees. "It couldn't be," "Why not?" "Because it doesn't feel that hot. And what does it matter, anyway?" You can see why 1 blew my top. Matter? What could be more important? There is no single element in this country that is more important to us Canadians than our love -hate relationship with the weather, In fact, it may be the only thing that will hold this country together, when all the referendums have been taken.
