(Standard Photo) Hullett barn fire started in straw A straw mow exploded Monday afternoon causing a fire which destroyed a barn. Jack Tamblyn.,Hullett township, watched helplessly as the fire swept through his barn. Blyth firemen were on the scene within minutes after the call had been made at 9:28 a,m, Approximately 140 pigs were in the barn, By late Monday there were only 11 left alive and their survival is doubtful, Firemen and neighbours were able to save 90 of the 100 tons of grain stored in the barn, With the aid of hoses to ward off the fire the frame of the east part of the barn was pulled off to uncover the grain. Between the front end loader owned and operated by Carl Nesbitt, and trucks and equipment from Howsons, the grain was saved and taken to be stored in Howsons field bins, Mr. Tamblyn lives on the farm west of the property and had insurance. He hopes to rebuild, Fire chief Irvine Bowes was asked how something like this could be prevented; his simple answer was 'bale it', Conditions last week when the straw was harvested were ideal for this type of combustion to occur, The humid weather made it difficult to dry the staw completely and when blown into a barn and not aired, the gases from natural heating cause combustion and in some cases enough of a buildup to cause an explosion as it did in Tamblyn's barn, Baling of straw allows for some circulation of air to help cut down chances of natural combustion occuring, 4-H kids kept busy BY DEBBIE RANNEY Sometimes it may seem to some people that there's not much for young people to do in a rural area like Huron County. But those people would be forgetting about 4-H. Members of 4-H are kept extremely busy always having to get projects ready, prepare for achievement days and for those young people involved in farm projects, they have to be ready for the Livestock and Field Crops Judging Competiton in which they must judge different types of livestock and crops whether they're familiar with them or not. Alan and Ken Siertsema of RR 1, Blyth belong to the Hall -Rice Dairy Calf Club and each has a dairy calf that they must prepare to be ready for the 4-H Achievement Day held at the Brussels fairgrounds in Septem- ber, They keep records on each calf from the first of May until September on its weight and height and how much feed it gets. At the club meetings a senior 4-H member demonstrates the judging of calves and clipping. Club members also have to do little tests and exams on diseases the calf can get. At the Huron County 4-H Livestock and Field Crops Judging Competition members are asked to judge livestock and crops on their quality and indicating which are the best. They also have to give reasons on why they picked certain things in that order For an Achievement Day members have to show their animals and lead them around. One of the benefits of the judging competition Alan believes is that if senior club members are planning on going into farming . learning to judge helps them out when they're buying cattle and buying land. At the competition members arc given 200 points for just being there and then are marked out of 50 for judging and 50 for reasons on the things in the competition, (Continued on Page 5) Threshermen coming here! Starting Friday, Blyth will be the scene of a lot of wheezing and tooting, as threshermen bring their antique steam machines for display at the annual Thresh- ermens' reunion. This year, as in the past, models and displays of gas engines and both tractor and steam engines delight the crowds of people who come to view the old time methods of harvesting. This year the reunion will be held September 7,8 and 9th. at the arena grounds. The number of machines and displays is uncertain until they register upon arrival Friday. Besides all the sights there will also be the old saw mill in operation all three days as well as a parade both Saturday and Sunday at four o'clock of old cars and tractors as well as children and fancy horses. Special events this year include belt setting of tractors at 2 p.m. on Saturday, stooking at 3 p.m. and sheaf tying at 3:30. On Sunday men will compete in belt setting a steam engine at 2 and bag tying at 3 p.m. Entertainment includes the Seaforth Dashwood Community Band, Brussels and Clinton pipe bands as well as the music of the Haywoods. There is also a fiddlers contest planned to take place both Saturday and Sunday. In the area there will also be a large craft display. The original steam show was planned in 1962 by 21 interested people, Simon Hallahan, of R.R.3, Blyth was one of the original members who got the Huron County Pioneer Threshermens' Reunion organized. The affair, held every year, draws roughly 11,000 to 12,000 people from all over Canada and the United States.

I had worried all day about what to cook that they would like. It was with that concern in mind that when their mother asked if there was anything she could bring I promptly replied dessert, At 'least there would be one item on the menu they would like and therefore not starve. 90 TON SAVED—Out of 100 tons of stored grain Blyth firemen and neighbours were able to save 90 ton. The fire destroyed Jack Tamblyns barn in Hullett as well as 140 pigs. (Standard photo) To the editor: 214 kids went to camp Family and Children's Services of Huron County is pleased with the success of our new community program FACES/79. (Fam- ily and Children's Excursion Scr,ices) The number of children involved has substant- ially increased from 90 in the summer of 1978 to 214 children involved with FACES 79. An Experience '79 Grant allowed the Agency to hire Pauline Hall and Margaret Foran as program co-ordinators. Margaret, with the assistance of volunteers involved 75 children in a variety of special activity day camps, throughout the County. Sixty-nine children participated in the week-long overnight camps with Pauline. In addition, another seventy children were sent to other organized camps including a one -parent family camp. Special thanks is expressed to the twenty volunteers who actively participated in both programs. Their time and commitment to the children and the program contributed greatly to the summers' success, We would also like to thank our volunteer drivers. The support demonstrated from the community for the FACES summer program was greatly appreciated. Donations to the Special Benefits Summer CampFundtotalled $3,947. This funding made the entire program possible. John V.

The evening started off well,The main attraction was the 100 gallon aquarium that keeps even grownups fascinated for hours. Kids sure seem to drink a lot. 1 don't know if that is to make you constantly get up to water them or if they are so nervous about the upcom- ing strange meal that they drink a lot. Whatever the case the pop did not last long and somehow the kool aid that Klaus concocts with a minimum of sugar just didn't hit the spot. The crowning touch came at the table. There was a large variety of salads and Klaus' tasty hamburgers were to be the main attract• , ion. But to his dismay the oldest, and probably the most daring I thought, was the one to quietly remark that he liked his burgers thin and tasting like MacDonald's specials. 1 giggled until the other little one replied that the salads were "yuuck" and "wasn't there anything she could eat somewhere else." Fortunately both Klaus and I had a suspicion that this could happen and laughed the whole matter off when the dessert came forth. 1 can well understand how the parents felt. Their moth- er assured me that whatever the kids' opinion of food was she really enjoyed the meal ..and to prove it had a little ' more of some salads. The smaller guests were not fazed by their honesty and proceeded hours later to visit the dessert tray. By the end of the evening the wee imps were ready for bed and had trouble keeping their eyes open. When they left 1 gave them two small house plants and strict instructions to talk nicely to their new leafy friends, With all this on their minds they didn't seem to notice the absence of two miniature cars which we cleverly located by sight rather than feet some hours later. But all this will give us another excuse to have them over again for another enter• taining evening of outspoken . childish chatter, While attending the Threshermen's Reunion this week -end, come in and see our interesting selection of shoes, men's & boys' wear R.

Throughout the province the country fairs exhibit their wealth and both rural and urban folk come to appreciate all the work there is involved in creating food stuffs for us all. Here in Blyth the fair is defunct and there is no place locally to show crops and livestock on a grand scale. But the fall fair feeling is not dead here in Blyth. The Threshermen's Reunion this weekend still carries on the tribute to the farmer but in a different way. People come from miles around to view the old steam engines that used to be hauled from farm to farm to do the fall harvesting. The delight in the eyes of old and young at the sound of a steam whistle piercing the air is apparent throughout the three days the machines are gathered in the arena grounds. Every year the smell of fresh sawed lumber, combined with the sight of hand stooked sheaves of wheat makes the past that much closer for those too young to remember and fresher in the minds of those who do. Come to the Threshermen's Reunion and get the feel of the fair. There will be crafts and food booths as well as fiddling, and dancing. It is the crowning event for a glorious summer here in Blyth. 4a Old Standards describe When Blyth had a fall fair Remember the days when Blyth was one of the communities that had a fall fair of its own? Those were the days of school parades. livestock exhibits and there was also types of entertainment on stage at the Memorial Hall. However, the annual fair was cancelled in the end, due to lack of interest zuwd participation. But since fall fairs are corning up in other areas we decided it might be interesting to go back to some of the older issues of the Blyth Standard and find out what it was like when the fall fairs were held here. In September of 1948 the fair was billed as being bigger than ever with several new features in store. The new features included: a Square Dance Competition, an Old Time Fiddler's Contest, an Aero- nautics Display and a midway for the children. And the Standard also tells of some of the more interesting highlights being offered at the fair such as a concert and a draw to be held at the Memorial Hall. "On Thursday night, the Charles McGregor Concert Company of Galt will present a fine performance from the stage of the Memorial Hall. This troupe consists of Charles McGregor, Scotch comedian known as the Harry Lauder of Canada, formerly of the Maple Leaf Quartette, Margaret Rahn, Professional Tap Dancer, Arthur Steggles, Lyric Tenor, Alf, Wood, Magician and Mrs, A. Moore, pianist, as well as other artists. This is an outstanding concert company. You won't want to miss their performance, During the eyeing a draw will be made for a beautiful Co -Op electric washer for which tickets are now available," "A ntonster.dance will be held in the hall basement after the concert. "You cannot afford to miss this year's Fall Fair. Let's all hope for sunny skies, a good race track and dry grounds. The exhibitors will furnish everyone with a good show. Plan to be an exhibitor yourself. Get a prize list. Your exhibit, no matter how small, will add to the show," the Standard stated, In September of 1955, talent for a variety concert to be put on at Memorial Hall as part of the fair included Mrs. Joan Gaffney, singing impersonator; James Flannigan, Irish soloist; Mrs. Gordon Gregg, elecutionist; Miss Sharon Anne Grubbe, a Scottish dancer and first prize winner in a class open to Western Ontario ;,t Wingham's Frontier celebration; Miss Cora Robertson, accordionist; Clarke John- ston, comedian; and duetists Baaka deHaan and Violet Gow, The fair was hampered by wet weather in September of 1958 but according to the paper it was still termed a success by many of its directors. The Standard also states that, "The 167 entries in the Huron County Black and White show succeeded in breaking the record set last year, by 14, The sheep and pig entrie.; far exceeded those for many years, and the large midway sent many local and district children home very tired after a happy afternoon of rides and games. "The domestic section of the fair was slightly below the par of other years, and the attendance figures, no doubt hampered by the inclement weather, were down slightly." First day of school Behind the Scenes by Keith Rou/ston Emergencies bring out the best What with higher, ever higher wage demands, marches to protest the rights of this or that minority group and a general trend toward self -gratification it sometimes looks like the good old values of brotherhood and extending a helping hand have been forgotten, But now and then an emergency arrives that seems to bring out the best in people. We've seen a few examples of that recently, examples that show us that the human race isn't completely losing the things that set us above the animals. Probably the best example of helping our fellow man has been the recent tornado disaster in the Woodstock area. People from this part of the country have been very free with their time and their money in helping people of the disaster area clean up and rebuild. Much as their fathers and grandfathers helped each other out in the past when disaster hit. On a wider scale this kind of warm-hearted assistance has been given to the plight of the boat people of Southeast Asia, The help hasn't been so universally give n to this cause. To some people the plight of the boat people isn't nearly as important as the plight of the people around, Woodstock, but the reaction has been heart-warming just the same, We had an example of how neighbourliness is still alive and well in o ur own household recently. We had a minor family crisis in the form of a car accident that brought calls of concern and offersof aid from family, friends and neighbours. Everyone was so helpful, People sometimes mourn the passing of the old-fashioned kind of neigftbourhoods but when conditionscall for it, the old neighbourliness is still there as strong as ever. 1 was watching a television program recently that showed just how important this habit of sticking up for each other has been to the human race, Archeology has shown Few of us I think would like to do without the modern welfare state, No one butthe very rich would like to go back to the days before the old age pension, universal free education, inexpensive health care. But at the same time I think most of us would like to be able to have that and still have the community spirit that made people work together to solve problems. Small towns haven't completely lost the community feeling but it has been eroded by the fact government policies have removed the motivation to get together. Now it takes special circumstance to make even most small towns pull together. A flood, a storm, a fire, an action of a senior government such as the hospital closings is what it takes to make people rally together to fight for each other. I'm glad to liveinanenvironment where people still do pull together. It's much easier living through crises if you know that people are ready to offer a helping hand, a hand not tied in the red tape of a government agency. that early man wasn't nearly as well equipped for survival as many of the animals that have become extinct over the long history of the earth, What made man successful in surviving and taking a dominant place in the world was not so much his intelligence, (because early man wasn't all that intelligent) not so much his skill in hunting, as his tendency to stick together. By hunting in groups the early men got game they wouldn't have gotten alone. By living in groups they had strength in numbers to protect them fromtheir larger, stronger, more vicious enemies, This forming of societies has been an important part of human living ever since. We start with the primary unit of the family, then the community and the country. I suppose we're making progress in a way. We've learned to live in harmon y beyo .nd the family unit, beyond the community to the country level (though in this country one sometimes wonders), We have yet to live in harmony on a world-wide basis, to care for all mankind as we would for our neighbour but at least we're beyond warring on a tribal level as primitive man once did. But in our western society we've been growing away from the ideal on a personal level at the same time we've been growing towards it on a broader scale. The extended family has broken down, Today the family consists of parents and about two children and the size is dropping all the .time, The ideal now seems to be just h us.band and wife and even the institution of marriage is giving way to looser living arrangements that can form and breakup and reform without the expense of divorce. Community spirit too is breaking down especially because more and more of the people live in larger and larger cities. To replace the helpinghand of a friend or neighbour we've come up with the helping hand of the state: the welfare state. THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 5, 1979 — 5 4-H club members work hard (Continued from Page 1) Another aspect of 4•H is the 4•H exchange that members go on each year. And this year the Sicrtsemas arc expecting a delegate from Illinois, What they usually do with delegates is take them around to different points of interest around Huron County and show them the different types of farming operations around here as well. Chances are the Siertsema's guest is going to get quite a shock when he secs the village of Blyth as in his letter he told them that he lives just outside a small town of about 35,000 people. Jennifer Johns of RR 2, Auburn is another member of 441 and she won the Winston Powell Award for having the highest score in the Horse Section at the recent 4-H Livestock and Field Crops Judging Competition. She scored 95 out of a possible 100 points. In order to prepare herself for this, Jennifer says she studied her judging book and studied up on all the parts of the horse and studied all the different terms so she would know what she was talking about. The 4•H members arc given a handbook that tells how to judge different animals. "You have to judge them on the confirmation and the build and the type they are," Jennifer said. This year they were quarter horses so they had to judge the animals on what somebody would want to see in a good quarter horse. Although Jennifer has quarter horses at home, competition isn't made easy every year as the types of horses change. "You have to know all types. That's difficult," Jennifer said. However she added that, "If you know Gets horses ready For an Achievement Day at Dungannon, horses have to be cleaned and clipped, bathed and brushed, and brushed, and brushed, and their tail and manes have to be combed out so they can be ready to show, Jennifer said. At Dungannon there are classes of education and showmanship. In the education class it is the riders who arc judged on their riding as to how they're sitting ., and if they're in the proper position. And in the showmanship class the rider is once again being judged on things like how he or she squares up the horse. "It's a lot of work," Jennifer says of getting ready for the Achievement day. Day. generally about horses you can do pretty well." Members of 4-H have a couple of weeks to prepare for this event. Jennifer said the competition gives you a chance to know about other animals. Shc has to go to the judging competition, achievement day with the club, attend five meetings and write exams. The whole club puts on a skit or demonstration and display at the fair. The topic of the club this year is the feeding of beef animals and each meeting covers a phase of this. Last year the meetings were on the housing or types of barns for beef cattle. In order to prepare her calf for Achieve- ment Day Melanie has to put the calf in a pen by itself, brush it and try to get it to keep quiet. After that is done she tries to lead it around the pen and once she can get it to do that she can try the calf outside, And then before the animal is shown it has to be washed and clipped. And occasionally some calves' hooves have to be trimmed, Some of the benefits that clubs like this bring to 4-H members are that it teaches them discipline to a certain extent because they've got to learn to feed and lead their animal. They also have to learn how to speak in front of crowds like at the judging competition where they have to give their reasons on why they judged a certain thing that particular way. And they also get to meet new people. "Usually our club invites other clubs over for a campfire meeting," Melanie said. Although at the livestock and judging competition members, might be able to score high if they have a certain type of livestock at home this method doesn't always hold true. NOT READY YET—This corn may not be ready yet, but corn kernels are just one of the things that 4-H members have to judge at the Huron County 4-H Livestock and Judging Competition. Here Ken and Alan Siertsema stand beside some stalks of corn at their home farm at R.R. 3, Blyth. The boys are the sons of Hebo Siertsema. obituaries BLANCHE WHARTON Mrs, Hugh Wharton died August 20, 1979 at Clinton Public Hospital. She was the former Blanche Sittler and was in her 61st year.

She did well on the judging of corn and that's something they do grow on her farm.

Most children look forward to that first day with excitement. It's a great step. No longer will he or she be just a "kid." They'll be going to SCHOOL! Of course, once they get there it's another question. There are new disciplines to, be learned, new people to meet, a whole new and strange society to face. What your child learns during the first few weeks. of school will in many ways affect the rest of his life. His world is expanding and re- quires a new set of rules to cope with it. Perhaps you've already walked by the school with hint several times. That's a good ideal You are sharing this experience. You may even have planned to take him to school the first few days and meet him afterward. But remember, you will not always be able to do that. He'll have to find his own way one of these days. During the next several days think about traffic safe- ty, says the Ontario Safety League. Work out the safest route to the school and accompany your child along that route to make sure he knows it. It's a simple thing to bring up pedestrian safety practices during these walks - obey the traffic lights, cross at crosswalks or corners, look all ways before crossing, stay away from parked cars, and don't run or play on the street. And by all means remem- ber that children learn from example. if you disregard the rules of the road...so will they. So watch your step... and theirs.

God saw the road was getting rough, The hills were hard to climb. So he closed both your weary eyelids, And whispered "Peace be thine," It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you. The day God called you home. Deeply remembered by granddaughter Marjory, and always remembered by son Harold, Irene and families from Blyth, Listowel and Centralia. 25-88-1 A Standard Classified will pay you dividends.

Cooler heads pre- vailed, it was thirty-four below outside, by Bill Smiley Well, as you can see, as a member of that august body, the Town Council, 1 couldn't print that sort of thing. I had to,report that the two councillors "had a difference of opinion." When 1 wrote that phrase and had to omit that one of the councillors ,was obviously in his cups, 1 knew 1 had to quit, All of this is a preamble to a thickish document 1 got in the mail the other day.rlt is a new by-law printed and dispersed (at what enormous cost 1 shudder) by our local town council, There are 39 numbered pages of legal inanities, and about an equal number of pages of maps of the town, equally unintelligible. As i said, the mailman delivered it, regardless of expense. A dozen kids could have covered the town in two hour, or stuffed them in the sewer. Despite my wide experience as a municipal councillor, or perhaps because of it, this by-law completely baffles me, The first thirteen pages are definitions. If you have never been involved in municipal politics, you should have a go. Run for anything from a dog-catcher to mayor. If you lose, it will be good for your ego. If you win, it will be good for your humility. 1 speak, as always, from personal experience. For twoycarsl served on a town council. It was illuminating, if not very enlightening. I was elected, of course, by acclamation. As was everybody else on the council. So keen were the citizens to serve, that some years, on nomination eve, we had to go down to the pub, drag a couple of characters out, and guide their hands while they signed up. When 1 was elected, I was present as a reporter. There were only five other people in the council chambers, so it was decided that I would be clect(1d as the necessary sixth.
