The Blyth Standard, 1979-08-29, Page 11 the • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29 1979 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: 25 Cents CHAMPION VS SON Carol Gross shows her son Kevin how she won the Canadian Ladies Champion Arm Wrestling Competetion at the CNE, Toronto, recently. Carol was declared champ and besides a trophy she gets an expense paid trip to the World Championship finals being held in Kansas City the end of September. Blyth woman top Canadian arm wrestler Carol Gross has the story on wrestling and if you feel like challenging her you had better take a look at her trophy. Carol won the Canadian Championship Arm Wrestling competition recently at the CNE in Toronto and is now headed for the world championship match to be held in Kansas City, Missouri, September 27-29. Her husband Paul started out as the competitor at the CNE, but after he had an arm muscle pulled in the first round Carol decided to try her hand (arm) at wrestling. To her surprise she won! Besides the trophy and hat she gets an all expense paid trip to the upcoming world competition. Carling O'Keefe sponsors the event and will be sending five other contenders with Carol to Kansas City. There is only one other woman competing from Canada and she too is from Ontario. "The sport is really catching on", said Paul. "There are more and more sponsors available for the sport", Although Paul is under doctor's orders to rest his arm he is already thinking of future matches. Both Paul and Carol got interested in arm wrestling last spring when Paul entered three competitions and made runner-up in the London match. The recent CNE competition did not go unnoticed. CTV will be airing coverage of the competition during their Wide World of Sports program scheduled for September 22, Although Carol was hesitant to enter the CNE competition she is really excited to be representing Canada at the world match, As she said. "Whatever happens I am going to do my best for Canada". Volume 89 — No. 35 They'II4ebuiId Hullett house destroyed Fire destroyed the home of Hugh and Donna Flynn late Saturday afternoon. No lives were lost, Plans have already begun to rebuild the old wooden frame home that had been newly renovated including the addition of a new part and deck during the past year. The home was fully insured but many momentos and trophies were irreplaceable. The Flynns have been active in the surrounding com- munities and all of the children were involved in local sports and figure skating. The fire was reported to the Blyth Fire Department by a neighbour John Spence at 2:30 p.m. Mr. Flynn had been threshing and his wife was away shopping. The youngest member of the family eight year old Noris returned home first before the fire trucks arrived, "He was worried that his sister was still in the house" said Mrs. Flynn, "He had a hard time deciding whether to go into the flaming ouse or head for the neighbours." He Beaded for the neighbours to find out that lis sister was safe, visiting in Auburn. Mr. Flynn with the assistance of the fire department had a hole knocked into the • t"7✓.. house and was covered in water before entering the blaze to retrievehis wallet which contained a large sum of money from his dairy operation plus all other necessary identification for hospitalization and in- surance. By 5 p.m. Morgan homes in Clinton had brought out a mobile home for the family and Elgin Dale had brought a water tank for the barn to help finish with the chores. The Flynns have a dairy operation. "The neighbours have been very kind" Mrs. Flynn said, "Many have brought over food, clothing and helped get things in order. Last June the Flynns celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary. Both the stereo they received as well as a special photo album the children had made for the occasion were lost. Mrs. Flynn is the test chairman for the Blyth Figure Skating Club and was con- cerned over the loss of the skating records as well as the music for the club. Anyone with music the club can use is to contact club president Dianne Wasson, Blyth. festival founders honoured - Fond farewells and best wishes were extended to James and Anne Roy at a pot luck dinner held at the home of Norm and Helen Gowing, Blyth, Monday evening. The board of directors of the Blyth Centre of the Arts and their guests planned the dinner to show the Roys their appreciation for the past five years of building of the Blyth Summer Festival, Keith Roulston presented them with a decanter and wine goblet set made by board director Rob Tetu, Beechwood. In his presentation, Mr. Roulston drew attention to James' insistence on community involvement in the theatre. The theatre that the Roys help initiate has grown to have both a national reputation .as well as providing a spirit unique in Canada. "They will go on to conquer more" said Mr. Roulston, The Roys will be leaving for Toronto in another week were Anne will be working with Theatre Passe Murialle. James intends to look for a position there. They plan to keep the lease on their property north of Blyth for a little while longer. "I would like to come back from time to time to escape the city." said James. replacing him as artistic director on the Blyth Summer festival and hopes that any of the problems that they have had with the theatre this year can be ironed out before the next season. The Blyth Summer Festival as of the end of the regular plays operated at a 73 percent capacity this year, an increase of 13 percent over last year. James at -tributes the success of the summer theatre to the enormous support given it by the community. The Roys will most certainly be missed but will continue to be a part of the Blyth Summer Festival long after they have moved on.

(Standard Photo) 11 baptized in river On Sunday, August 26, eleven members of the West- field Fellowship received Christian Baptism in the waters of the Maitland River. The Rev, Wesley B. Ball, former Pastor of the church and presently serving in the Thamesford-Zion Pastoral Charge officiated assisted by Deacons of the Congregation Ron Snell, Douglas Smith, and Bill Taylor. A congregation of some 80 people assembled in Wawanosh Park on the banks of the river for a stirring service of praise and prayer. The candidates for baptism were then led into the waters by Rev. Ball and Ron Snell. Those who were baptized into Christ were: Faye Barth, Shannon Vogl, Bonnie Wal- ker, Elaine Snell, Brian Mc- Clinchey, Donald McIntosh, Mark Vogl, Murray Taylor, Glen Taylor, Robert and Beverley Irving.

Wilson's Health & Gift Centre Blyth and I really was in no mood to write out those letters' (there was no copier machine available for me then). So after two weeks I decided that I was out of danger and decided to clean the letter out. Even after all these years 1 have only received two other chain letters (from relatives) and I promptly did not give them a second look but filed them where all dear occupant propaganda goes. But last week I was exposed to two identical chain letters or memos as the authors like to call them. But these involve $100 of which I have none to spare. The legality of these chain memos has come under question by the proper auth- orities. I wonder if they would like one to purchase. The idea is to invest $100 in yourself for a few days. It basically works like this; you buy the memo from a friend for $50 and then mail the other $50 to the first person on the list of 12. Armed with your memo you sell it two other people, each for $50, Logically speaking you have recovered your original $100 investment in yourself by following through with the instructions. From there on it is just a matter of waiting for your turn to be at the top of the list. The unly drawback that comes immediately to my mind is the fact that the two people that buy your memo must have enough sense to sell their memo in ceder to recoup their money insure that you make it to the top of the list. When I took the list home the investment man looked at it scornfully and commented that he knew of better ways to spend his money and that yes, he had seen the letter before, circulating in his office, Well there' went my dreams of fame and money. But since then my mother has received the letter and is looking for another buyer. 1 am sorely tempted but the problem is finding two people that have $100 to invest and would continue the chain.

For many there is no other side but total abstinence from nuclear power or to the other extreme complete development of nuclear power. Thefollowing editorial from the Wingham Advance Times methodically and carefully answers a letter to the editor concerning the use of nuclear power and encourages all of us to consider the problem so that each of us may make a decision. THE DECISION MUST BE OURS "A letter to the editor this week accuses the news media of "having a field day" and perhaps even conspiring to undermine Canada's nuclear power industry by reporting on reactor failures and radioactive spills. The letter compares the nuclear industry to auto or farm machinery industries, claiming its safety record has been very good by comparison and suggesting critical attention should be removed from it and transferred to other areas. It is true a horrifying number of people are killed or maimed on highways or in industrial or farming accidents, but to suggest the public should sit by and allow the experts to get on with the Job of building and running nuclear power plants is irresponsible and dangerous. First, highway and industrial safety is not being ignored. Tougher regulations, new legislation and massive recall programs for defective vehicles bear witness to the attention being focussed on this area. Second, unfortunately, as experience has demonstrated, simply designating certain uses of nuclear power as 'peaceful' does not make them any less potentially lethal. Under some circumstances a serious accident such as a meltdown at a nuclear power plant could be more devastating in its long term effects than an atomic bomb. Events such as the recent Three Mile Island accident in the United States and other Tess dramatic accidents at Canadian reactors have shown that, despite safeguards, the possibility of such breakdowns is not far-fetched but terrifyingly real. Why is it so hard to accept the peaceful use of the atom? the writer asks. Precisely because ANY use of nuclear power has been found to be unpredictable and the potential consequences of a mishap are almost unimaginable. A meltdown at any one of the dozens of nuclear power plants now scattered across North America could kill or poison tens of thousands of people and render a large area uninhabitable for generations. And some experts calculate that, given the number of reactors currently in service, such meltdowns are not only possible but inevitable. It is also true that we are only beginning to understand the possible long term effects of low levels of radiation exposure. No one can say what will be the consequences of the radioactive leaks to date, since the effects may not become apparent for years or generations. After all, it took doctors a long time to realize that exposure to asbestos fibres could cause lung cancer, but many have died from that cause just the same. Driving an automobile or operating machinery is a risk, but one can weight the odds by making sure the car is well maintained, being alert and obeying rules. Also for most people climbing into a car is a personal decision; no one can force them to take the risk If they would rather walk. This is not the case presently with decisions about nuclear power. Rather the public is in the position of a child being placed in a car and driven off down the highway with no idea whether the vehicle has any brakes or the wheels will fall off. We are urged to rely on the experts but even the experts are divided, with some passionately devoted to nuclear power and others as sincerely opposed. It may be true that we need nuclear power and the risks are acceptable. However this is a matter for the people to decide and in making that decision they have a right to ALL the information available, not just what the nuclear Industry wants to release. The news media, as representatives of the public, would be irresponsible if they neglected their task of seeking out and publishing that information. Some on the other side argue that because the consequences of using nuclear power are so far-reaching — some fission byproducts such as plutonium will remain intensely poisonous for thousands of years — we have no right to use it. However we are the generation which has been entrusted with the decision and it is up to us, using the best information at our disposal and the intelligence God has given us, to make the choice. Eventually we have to trust the experts to get us where we want to go, but we should never relinquish the right to choose the destination toward which we wish to travel and the vehicle we want to carry us.

BY DEBBIE RANNEY A local Blyth student is in the offices of Blyth Standard this summer sorting out old issues of the newspapers in order that they may be bound. Of course, while doing so, Pat Bylsma has come across some pretty interesting stories from Blytlt's past and it's always fun to share those with local residents, some of whom might remember these events quite well. Take, for example, an issue dated Wednesday, October 18, 1939. That issue said "Silent" Bill Biddle a reformed criminal was to pay a visit to Blyth later in the week to follow up on his nation wide campaign to save boys and young men from juvenile delinquency. He was to give an address, accompanied by motion pictures, on prison life both in Canada and the United States. "Silent" Bill Biddle was a Canadian - born former outlaw who served 18 years of a life sentence in Sing -Sing prison. Since his release from prison in 1924, the Standard says, he had given his life to the saving of young boys from the path of crime. The newspaper continues stating that from his own experiences both in and out of prison, Mr. Biddle gives a graphic picture of the inevitable result of crime, but he does not stop there. He is a worker for the reformation of boys, and he does not approve of a prison system that throws young lads on their first offence in contact with hardened criminals from whom they can learn nothing but more crime. Apparently Mr. Biddle believed that the average boy came out of a reformatory a more determined criminal than when he entered. He thought that a proper reform system could teach boys and young men a better way. He was a strong advocate of the English Boral system, which divided the boys into three classes, with the result that in one of these classes the recovery proved as high as 100 per cent, in the third class 92 per cent and even with the juvenile racketeers the recovery reached as high as 70 per cent according to the paper. In the same issue of the paper, there is a request for people wanting to knit socks for the soldiers, Yarn and directions were available from Mrs. Robert Johnston on King Street. To the editor: Babysitters need raise As a mother of several teenagers, I am really dis- turbed. Our girls go out babysit- ting and there are still some people who pay only 75 cents an hour. The normal wag es for at least the last 5 years have been a dollar an hour. double after midnight. In the city it has gone up to $1,50 an hour. I can not understnad why people are so unwilling to pay the girls who look after their most precious posses- sions, their children, a fair wage while they spend all kinds of money on the their own entertainment.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 29, 1979 — 11 A lack of heat in the present library had resulted in the deterioriation of some of the books and it was decided that better facilites were needed. One of the main sug- gestions for a new library was given by Doug Kirkby, chairman of the Walton re- creation committee who showed some rough plans that the recreation commit- tee had drawn up for a type of community centre that would house a library, wash- rooms and a food stand for the ball park. This community centre would be lofted on the ball park grounds. Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township, who chaired the meeting, told ;the crowd of about 30 people of the diffent ideas that the Morris council had had for a library such as building a new library on the present site onethat would be a bit bigger and cost about $9,000, Prices steady at yards The market at Brussels Stockyards on Friday traded at strong steady prices, on a good supply of both cattle and pigs.

MOTOCROSS RACING n Morris council also talked about the possibility of using a trailer which would cost about $6,000 or $7,000 but would be a little harder to heat. However, since the library is located on a road allowance, there was some questions as to whether or not that was a good site /to use. Mrs. Noreen Gnay a member of the Huron County Library Board said that the library would probably get better circulation if it were moved to better quarters. One man said he would like to see the library put in a much bigger building than it is now with a room in it where the recreation commit- tee could hold meetings. Another, man suggested using baseboard heaters for the present library in the winter instead of the two spaceheaters used now. Reeve Elston said there was no thought of closing the library, "We're not going to close it even if we have to spend $10,000," he said, He told the audience they could get grants from Wintario on a new library if the old one was condemned following an engineer's report. He said Wintario would offer one third of the money if the municipalities paid one third and the Walton taxpayers paid one third of the cost. At the end of the meeting it was decided to improve the heating system of the preseit,t library ouilding auu to make plans for a new library building. Reeve Elston said the Morris Council would try to get a better heating system and would expect to hear from the recreation commit- tee regarding the building of a new library, He said then maybe the three councils of Morris, Grey and McKillop could get together and have the Wintario representative down from Hanover to talk about grants for a new library.

It strikes me as funny. It's about a serious problem; --accountants and business men can't seem to communicate with one another. The author is Leon Danco, a consultant from OhiaHe says "the business owner and his accountant usually wind up in something like those old grade school dances, long armed and stiff -legged, shuffling miserably around the financial dance floor, They just never learn the advantages of the opposite sex." He goes on, "most accountants aren't risk takers ' and most business owners aren't experts in finance. Small wonder they find they have little to talk about. The accountant massages the financial statement and the business owner wishes the hell he could go do something useful besides talking to this kid." Recently five Agricultural Representa- tives met for a round table discussion with an accountant and lawyer. In no way could you describe these two as kids. They are professionals -4n the best sense of the word. Both have grown up on the farm. They have the same gut reactions as farmers do. We talked about farm business agreements, partnerships and corporations They very clearly said be careful about getting farmers involved in corporations and partnership. They could see a place for limited use of a corporation or partnership. for example --to own livestock, buildings and five acres of land. But they said "have the other land owned by the invidivuals. Contribute the use of the land to the jointly owned corporation••or sell the crops to the corporation." They said it works best when each person has private ownership—and' pride of ownership of land. The actual words were "it works best when each one. can tell the other to to to hell." Now that's taking a stand --being involved—committed. the accountant yawns a lot, sidesteps,' mumbles. He's uncomfortable peering into what really isn't his bag." Now my accountant friends are liable to say "why that sounds more like a farm management specialist to me". Fair enough --we're not happy with that image. We may not know and should say so or else without losing his independence. The account should be told where the bones are buried, The business owner needs control devices. Accounting is a way of measuring not only what a business does, but where it's going. An -accountant who shares the business owner's problems can make judgements that say there's not enough Farm Business Management Topics -off It t�� ►. Danco says "the accountant's afraid if he becomes too involved, too committed, too understanding, too involved in the moral judgements and trade-offs the business owner has to make, he'll compromise his 'independence'." He says "like the cowboy who's going to get saddle sores, the business owner is going to take ' risks, It comes with the job. What he wants to do is share the struggles of risk taking with someone else. But what happens is Hay safety check a good idea Mike Miller, farm safety 1 consultant, Farm Safety Association, in co-operatoni with the Huron County Farm Safety Council, has prepared a number of guidelines for', checkingdamp hay in the barn to prevent overheating. 1 Take 1/4" x 10' electrical conduit or tubing with a sharpened hardwood point riveted to tube.

Remember, never enter alone when hot hay is ex- pected, fire pockets may have developed and there is a danger of falling into them. we'll stress that it is our personal opinion. Danco says "the business owner has to get over feeling shy and misunderstood like an evil old man discussing problems with someone who doesn't care. The accountant should care and in fact can care cash or the inventory is too high. And he can make projections• -if you do this, this would happen." To get help a business owner has to share his problems; first, ask the right questions; then listen carefully! Beef committee set up Agriculture Minister John Wise announced that he has set up a committee of Members of Parliament to consult with the livestock industry and consumers and advise him on beef import legislation. The Beef Import Consult- ative Committee will be chaired by Bert Hargrave (PC -Medicine Hat), a well- known Alberta rancher who has been an M.P. since 1972. Other committee members are freshmen M.P.'s Sid Fraleigh (PC-Lambton• Middlesex), Lorne Green- away (PC-Cariboo-Chilcotin), Wilbur MacDonald (PC - Cardigan), and Charles Mayer (PC -Portage - Marquette). "We are looking into drafting legislation to protect both beef producers and Canadian consumers from the instability of world mark- ets," Mr. Wise said. Mr. Wise said the Beef Import Consultative Commit- tee will act as his contact in inviting all sectors of the industry to advise him on this matter. Mr. Hargrave said his committee will be getting underway immediately. He expects to begin meetings with all interested parties in the first week of September and report back to Mr. Wise by September 27. All the committee mem- bers have farming experi- ence and an active interest in the livestock industry. Mr. Hargrave is a past president of both the Canadian Cattle- men's Association and the Western Stock Growers' Association. Mr, Fraleigh, a hog farmer from Forest, Ont., is a former chairman of the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board. Dr, Green- away is a cattle rancher and veterinarian from Williams Lake, B.C.

THE !MYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 29, 1979 —18 Walton wins at Mildmay The Walton Intermediate Men's ball team was victor- ious on the weekend --win- ning the Mildmay Tourna- ment. Twelve teams partic- ipated in the true double knock -out event. The tournament started on Thursday, August 16 with Walton meeting Atwood and picking up a 17 to 2 win. Doug Conley picked up the win for Walton. Their next game was Sat- urday morning pitting them against Canada Company, a team from Goderich. Walton, with Rick McDonald on the mound were winners by a score of 3 to 2. On Saturday afternoon, Walton suffered their only loss to Wroxeter by a score of 4 to 1. Being a true double knock out, this loss only made it tougher for Walton to win the tourna- ment. Sunday was a long day for the team because they played five games to win the tournament. The first game was at 1:30 with them meeting Formosa. McDonald received the win with a 9 to 2 win over Formosa in five innings. Walton had little problem in the 4:30 game against Canada Company defeating them 7 to 0 in five innings. Doug Conley picked up the win. Playing again at 6:00 p.m. Walton had to come up with a big win against Wroxeter. The team rose to the occasion by winning by a score of 2 to 0. McDonald picked up the win. At 7:30 Walton found them- selves pitted against Clif- ford. Walton had no trouble this time and defeated Clif- ford by a score of 6 to 0. Doug Conley picked up the win. At this point in the tourna- ment Walton and Clifford had each suffered only one loss each. To find a winner Tax increases will be topic at F of A meetings The Huron County Federation of Agriculture at their Regional Meetings on Sept. 6, at the Huron Cen- tennial School, Brucefield and the East Wawanosh School at Bclgrave are having informed speakers on the recently announced Pro- vincial Equalizations Factors. These new factors may have a desvastating effect on the 1980 tax bills of farmers in any one of the Townships in Huron County, with the exception of Hay. The proposed increases for 1980 taxes range from a low of approximately 6 mills in East Wawanosh (or $48.00 on an average 100 acre farm) to a tremendous increase in McKillop of approximately 40 mills (or $320.00 on an average 100 ac. farm), Perhaps the residents of the rural Townships will want an explanation for these sudden and drastic changes. William Alcock, Deputy Good vision crucial for back to school kids Many children are visually handicapped for adequate school achievement, accord- ing to the President of the Ontario Association of Optometrists. "Numerous requirements arc necessary to provide efficient vision, and these must be considered in a complete vision analysis -- especially for the school child," said the President, Dr. R. Newhouse, at the Annual Meeting of the Ont- ario Optometrists. The most basic needs for adequate vision are near vision, distant vision, binoc- ular co-ordination and ade- quate field of vision. Near vision means the ability to focus and see clearly and comfortably with both eyes and each eye separately at a distance of about 15 inches. This is the distance at which most school work is done. Distant vision refers to the same ability as needed for near vision but for a distance of 20 feet or more. This is necessary to see the chalk- board, to enjoy motion pic- tures and TV and to engage in sports. Binocular co-ordination refers to the ability to make Classified Ads pay divid- ends, the two cycs work together. This is necessary for art work, handicrafts and play activities as well as to read efficiently. Adequate field of vision refers to the ability to see to \\\T both sides and up and down while focusing on a small target. This saves unneces- sary eye and head move- ments and is essential for participation in sports and for personal safety. MAKE J ..

Anniversary celebrations of the Huron County Junior Farriers Associaton held at the Clinton arena on Saturday. Len McGregor, of the Clinton OMAF office, said a number of past presidents and past provincial directors of the county organization attended the celebrations. Although Junior Farmers clubs existed in the county from the 1920's, it wasn't until 1949 that a county -wide organization was formed by Gordon Bennett, then Huron County agricultural repre- sentative. Mr. Bennett, who was a guest at the 30th. anniversary celebratons, re- cently retired as a deputy minister, OMAF. Another guest was J.C. Rennie, who was the assistant ag, rep. at the time of the county -wide organization of the clubs, and is currently a deputy minister, OMAF. In a short program before the dance, Bill Armstrong of Wingham, president of the Huron County Junior Farmers, welcomed guests. George Robertson, of R.R.5, Goderich, who was the first county president to 1949, spoke briefly on the early days of the organization. Jim Phelan, the Ontario Junior Farmers president and the provincial director from Huron County, brought greetings from the Ontario association. Mr. Phelan, of Blyth, is the first provincial director from Huron County to be elected president of the provincial organization. Don Pullen, Huron County ag. tap., acted as emcee for the program, which was followed by a dance. Len McGregor said organizers were pleased with the "good turnout." Although they had hoped more former ag. reps. and assistant ag , reps. could return for the anniversary celebrations, the distances Injuries peak during harvest Harvest is a peak time' for farm injuries. Almost half of Ontario farm injuries occur during the harvest months of August, September and Oct- ober, One reason is inexperi- enced farm labor, says Larry Swinn, public relations co- ordinator, Farm Safety Association. "Many harvest workers have never worked in agri- culture before. Others have worked only occasionally on farms. Many are unfamiliar with farm procedures, haz- ards and machinery." The high accident rate is also caused by farmers who 'rush to complete their harv- esting. Poor weather con- ditions in September or October can also increase the risk of injury. The most common harvest accidents are slips and falls, back injuries, and machinery related injuries. "Machinery accidents often occur because workers are unfamiliar with the equipment," says Mr. Swinn, However, farmers can take firm steps to reduce farm injuries: the key is planning. "Well before harvest, hire your seasonal workers, and make sure your equipment is in good working order. That way, you'll avoid rushing at the last minute." The present reigning king and queen, Murray Irwin and Sharon Co ciough were present at the anniversary party.

(Brussels Post Photo) THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 29, 1979 — 15 Check house wiring before winter to be safe As summer ebbs it's time to look at your wiring system before chillier weather in- creases the demands on your electrical system. So spare a few minutes to think about the situation, read the suggestions from Ontario Hydro and have a look at your fusebox which controls the electricity enter- ing your house or apartment. This isn't a scare warning, just an annual reminder. I?useboxes are usually in the basement if you live in a house. If. you are in an apartment ask your super- intendent for its location. Check that the fuses in your service panel are of the correct rating. All lighting and general use circuits are fused at 15 amperes. These fuses are clearly marked. For heavier loads such as electric clothes dryers, water Theaters, freezers, furnace fan circuits, space heaters and the like use only Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved type "D" fuses. These cost a little more than the regular How to shop for back to school clothes August is the month when families consider their child- ren's clothing needs for the corning school year. "Always shop for good quality, ease of care, and good fit," say clothing specialists with the Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food. When buying clothes, look each garment over carefully. Turn it inside out and exam- ine the sewing construction. Seams should be sturdy and neatly finished. Test fasten- ers by undoing them and doing them up. Buttons, snaps, or zippers should be durable and well -attached to the garment. Quality fabric should have a firm weave or knit con- struction, yet not be harsh to the touch. Corduroy and cotton denim are two good choices. Ease of care is also an important feature. Con- sumers should be looking for fabrics that can be machine - washed and dried, and re- quire little ironing. Synthetic fabrics such as nylon , poly- ester, and acrylic wash and dry quickly and are not easily soiled by water -borne stains like candy, catsup, grass and mud. Oil -borne stains like butter, chocolate and grease, can be difficult to remove. Choose printed fabrics with dark backgrounds that do not show soil and wrinkles read- ily. Children should accomp- any their parents on this shopping trip. Not only does this ensure getting a good fit, but it allows children to have a say in the selection. Attempts to standardize children's clothing sizes have been made by the Canadian Government Specification Board. Look for the C.S.S. label, which stands for Can- ada Standard Sizes. This label ensures that clothes have been made in accord- ance with the proper size standard as established by the Canadian government. The label indicates that the fuses but provide better protection for the heavier 'demands. The "D" is also clearly indentified, Check that fuses are ;screwed in tightly as possible I�by hand. The fusebox cover or door should be kept closed at all other times to protect ,children from injury and prevent dirt from ac- cumulating. ARE YOU HAVING PROBLEMS? Warning signs include: Repeated blowing of cor- rectly rated fuses for no apparent reason; Evidence of discolouration around fuseholders; Lights which flicker per- . iodically (although in some cases faulty applicances may cause lights to flicker); Lights or entire circuits which fail to work. If you experience any of these conditions, examine size is based on one common set of children's measure-' ments and that the size does I. not relate to age. Save money by coordin- ating the colors. Just a few mix -and -match items will create several different out- fits. Sewing clothes will also save money. Many patterns that are simple in style and quick to sew are available. Longer hems in home -sewn clothes will give the garment longer life. Clothing is expensive, but don't sacrifice the quality to save money. Good quality, correct fit, and ease of care are features which ensure ' wise clothing purchases. lionestroodiltalues . Reg. GROUND BEEF 1.89 10-20 lbs. 20 Ib. or more 1.791b.

The Donnellys are already the subject of at least four plays, a trilogy by James Reaney and Them Donnellys. The new play by Ted Johns, The Donnellys Are Here, opens at the Blyth Summer Festival August 21 and examines the question of whether the Donnellys were really as great villains as they have been pictured, or whether they were merely scapegoats for neighbourhood troubles in Biddulph Township.

Jill Cooper and Sharon Westberg each had a home run. Winning pitcher Jill Cooper had 2 walks & 15 strike outs. Blyth returned to Gorrie on Aug. 20 to defeat Gorrie again, 15-2. Joan Barrie was 5 for 5. Anita Hamm and Sharon Westberg were 5 for 6. Sharon Westberg had the only home run of the game. Again Jill Cooper pitched a very strops game with 4 walks and 16 strikeouts. In the two games Blyth had a total of 52 runners on base while Gorrie managed only 16. In an exhibition game on Aug. 23 Blyth defeated Londesboro 20-16. Jill Cooper, Cathy Hubbard and Rachel Battye shared the pitching duties. The girls will now meet Bluevale in a 3 out of 5 semi-finals series. The first game will be In Blyth Thurs, Aug. 30 at 7 p.m. Donnelly's fascination alive and well in Blyth BY RHEA HAMILTON The fascination behind the massacre of the Irish Don- nelly family In Biddulph Township 100 years ago is alive and well in Blyth. The opening of the Death of the Donnellys at the Blyth Sum- mer Festival brought people from near and far to see the reenactment of the life of the immigrant family and their death. The action is not confined to the stage itself but in- volves the audience who has to strain in their seats to see up into the rafters and the balcony behind them in order to keep up with the action. The set designed by Bob Pearson wraps itself around the audience, making mem- bers more involved in the action. But the real show is the acting of the multitude of characters on the stage. Their faces during old barn dances resemble the severe portraits ur our ances- tors hanging in our attics. Sympathy can be found in some of the scenes when after murdering a man, father Jim Donnelly spends 2 years hiding in the bush and 7 in jail. David Fox who plays Jim Donnelly with a lot of strength seems to capture the feeling of a father re- turned to a family of over- grown village ruffians. The mother of this brood, Johannah, played by Janet Amos, can outdance, out holler and out smart the best of them, She is the only one to sense what eventually comes about to her family. Portrayed as a hardworking mother, the audience be- comes confused when she is called Julia when in fact she was named Johannah. But then there is the fact of the matter. To the average Lions BINGO. Every Saturday Commencing SATURDAY, Sept. 15 1979 at 8:00 p.m. Blyth Memorial Hall 12 reg. games, 3 share the wealth. Jackpot $150.00 In 60 calls person the facts of the prob- lems in Lucan of that time are hazy and many know little more than the Black Donne:lys were killed by a vigilante group. Thus any straying from fact is known only to Donnelly buffs and historians. Amid board stomping barn dances to the old time fiddle music of David Papa- zian, Kim Vincent and Jimmy Adams, the audience is kept on its toes. The fire scene and the shot gun blasts make many jump in their seats. The whole show is about three hours long and that remains the only drawback to this fine production by Theatre Passe Murialle. The play is an adaptation of Them Donnellys with several new scenes to amplify the char- acters by writer Ted Johns. 40 YEARS The three acts of the Donnellys span 40 years of history. The first act shows the family in the beginning. The second act is centred around on e of the sons, Will Donnelly, and his stage coach business. The third act introduces the impact of the railroad on the small Ontario towns and formation of the Biddulph Peace Society. For regular theatre goers there will be some familiar faces among the cast includ- ing Peter Snell, Karen Wiens and Layne Coleman. In this production Layne plays the thoughtful but violent Will Donnelly and avoids the loud voice he often projects in other plays. The sold -out performances before the first show is ark indication of the public de- sire to solve local mysteries. If a the end of the perform- ance anyone is left unsatis- fied with the outcome they have only to go to the old record books to learn the real tale. As it stands now this production of The Death of the Donnellys has to be one $hn hect. NOW PLAYING!

Flower bearers were Don Proctor and John Rinn, Correction In the obituary of Del Philps the name was incor- rectly spelled, We regret any inconvenience this may have caused, Sugar & Spice by Bi/lSmi/ey A rush to write Well, here it is, Tuesday afternoon, time to write the column, I could have written it last Friday, or Sunday morning after church, or any day during the past three weeks of holidays, But I couldn't. I write my column on Tuesday afternoon, rush to the post office, plead with the clerk to squeeze it into the outgoing bag. Summer or winter, working or vacation, If 1 try to write it on a Thursday evening, a Mon day morning, there's a complete block. Blank paper, vacuum mind. Espec- ially in summer, when I have enough time to crank out a couple of volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, That's why the summer columns don't have one single, brilliant theme,' lucidly expostulated, witty, striking a single, singing note in a muddled world. They usually come out as a kind of shotgun effort. There are too many distractions. A couple of promiscuous bluebirds have proliferated on our property, There are now five juveniles of the same species, shrieking bluebird imprecations from five different trees, driving out the songbirds of yesteryear. This morning, we had one of those real, old-fashioned summer storms. Darkness at noon. The gods bowling in the heavens with tremendous balls that rumbled, crashed and reverberated down the empty halls of the black sky. Bolts of lightning straight from Zeus that hit, you swear, twenty feet from your giant oak. Blinding rain, cars driving4ights on, as though they were fording the anges. I love storms, ever since the one that put a pine treetop through the roof of our cottage, when I was seven, and everybody calling, "Where's Billy?" and finding Billy standing against one of the remaining walls, scared speechless and grinning like an idiot. Or the one on the Lakes, when several ships went down, and the captain was puking in his second-best hat, and every dish in the galley was smashed. More distractions in summer, Rotten kids, Card from son Hugh in Paraguay. He'd previously written for five copies of his birth certificate, and copies of his student transcripts from U. of T, and Dalhousie, because he might be going to university in Paraguay or Toronto or India or Cuba. Card says, "Massage and English classes going well." What the hell does that mean? Phone call from daughter who's off to Moosonee to teach music to,Jfi1ian kids. Doesn't know how to get there, Doesn't know how to get furniture shipped, what to take, why, what, where, how much? So guess who sorts all that out? Animals, birds and fishes have the right idea. Teach the offspring t9 fend for themselves, kick them out, aahave some more. I wonder how many grandfather whales, or bears, or eagles, are still solving , problems for their fully -grown children, and baby-sitting their grandchildren? And in summer, of course, the daily mail, though a welcome break in the monotony, is distracting. Pleas, amounting almost to demands, from relatives that you have to pay a visit, you promised last winter, They don't really want to see you, only make you listen to their problems, when all you want to listen to is the birds and the click of a five -iron as you set it up by the pin. Not all bad, Nice letter from Jim Lamb of Nova Scotia, saying I'd helped inspire his new book Press Gang, and that I am his favorite columnist, along with Ted Reeve and Eric Nicol, Bless you, sir. Note from Bessie Doolan, 89, of Cereal, Alta„ "I attribute the smiles & chuckles I receive from your column as a big aid to my longevity." And bless you, Bessie, Invite me to your hundredth and we'll dance together and defy the fates, if you don't mind jigging with a guy with an arthritic foot that goes whither it wants. Two proofs of a photo of yours truly, from Mike Boule of the Milton, Canadian Champion who dropped in one day to take a picture, Thanks, Mike, but I think you got your negatives mixed up. Surely this is a photograph of American poet Robert Frost when he was 86, Just kidding. You got me, warts and all. Every crease, every wrinkle, the warped nose with scars on it, the bump on my lip from the car crash when a piece of the lip turned up missing during surgery, even the hairs in my ears, which you might have had the decency to trim before you shot. Never mind, my wife likes it, probably because it makes me look old enough to be her father. But she insists I don't have those bags under my eyes and wrinkles on my forehead. I must have been squinting in to the sun, I point out, Anyway, it's the sort of face of which people say, when they can't think of another single thing, "It looks lived-in," or, "There's a lot of character in it." But it's been a good summer. Twice I've gone out to play golf and played with complete strangers who were worse duf- fers than I, despite their immaculate shirts and slacks, and fancy equipment. Occasionally I go down to the dock, look at the $30,000 to $100,000 boats, and chortle when I think of what they'll be worth when gas rationing starts. And snicker and snicker when I drive_up besidea Lincoln Continental in my 1972 Ford so rusty you can put your feet through the floorboards and pedal with them, for mobility. Not quite like last summer, cruising the capitals of Europe, but fair-to-middlin', if the old lady would get off my back about falling through the back stoop every time she hangs out the washing.
