Here Dorothy Grange presents Mr. and Mrs. Ross Robinson and Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Ball with their diplomas for outstanding service. See story page 10. (Standard Photo) Council hears More details The proposed Gravco sub- division for the north end of Blyth was at the top of the agenda for council Monday night. Art Clark of Maitland Engineering, Murray Elston, of Crawford Mills, and Davies; and Burns Ross of B.M. Ross and Associates, an engineering consultant firm,were present to clarify some of the points in the draft of the subdivision agreement, A clause was established pointing out that the Blyth PUC will install a water main extension from Highway 4 to HPCRCSSB the subdivision. Council pointed out that a prepaid contract is drawn up between the contractor and the PUC. The contractor pays for the work to the subdivision as well as servicing the Tots themselves. . It was established that the roads in the subdivision would be up to urban standards which include both curbs and gutters. The village will put in a road to the subdivision, Although not up to urban standards, it will be a granular base. Storm sewers was another main issue, Mr, Ross suggested that the existing storm sewer not be used and that a new drain be planned. The portion of land in question is presently drained by the Whitfield drain. The increased run -off from roof tops and paved roads would make the volume of run-off greater. The decision was left until further in time when the designs are drawn and the cost of the drain would be shared between the developer and the village based on the rate of runoff from the development, (Continued on Page 15) New chairman elected BY WILMA OKE Ronald Marcy, 44, of Stratford, was elected chairman of the Huron Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board at a meeting in Dublin Monday. He defeated John O'Leary of Staffa. Mr, Marcy, head of the mathematic department at Northwestern Secondary School in Stratford, succeeds William Kinahan of Lucknow, Ronald Murray, 43, a Dublin area farmer, was acclaimed vice-chairman. Ronald Marcy said one of the challenges facing the board in the coming year is declining enrolment. He said the board has faced this by changing boundaries in Stratford and triple grades in some schools, Mr. Marcy said staffing was a concern with the 19 schools in the system overstaffed according to the board's formula, In 1980 he said he is hopeful of getting the staff to what it should be according to the formula. In Kingsbridge integrated transporation has been working out satisfactorily and saving the board money, he said, and hope this could be continued in other areas. He said the primary thing is to think of the children and aim to provide the best of education for them, Ron Murray said, "If I'm needed, I'll be here," Rev. TonySonderup, Wingham, Dean of Straford Deanery, asked, "How can we get the enrolment? Have we gotten into the habit of thinking 'small is beautiful? Can we not think more positively and think of larger families?" The board passed a borrowing by-law of $3 million to be used to carry on board business until current revenue has been received. This is up a half million dollars over last year. The legal firm of Donnelly, Murphy and Pickell of Goderich was named solicitor for the board. A nominating committee of chairman Marcy, vice chairman Murray, director of Education, William Eckert and John O'Leary was named to select board committees, More room At Triple K It has been six years since the Hessel- woods first opened their dream restaurant and they have enjoyed the business so well that they have expanded. This weekend Keith and Kay Hessclwood are celebrating the grand opening of the large new addition to their restaurant on County Road 25 three blocks east of the highway 4 junction here in Blyth. The new addition will increase the seating capacity from 24 to 68, not including the Targe banquet room downstairs which will seat approximately 60 more. Kay originally started handling food in the early 1960's at the Elm Haven in Clinton and has worked at several places in the county including the Queens Hotel, Seaforth and the Clinton Public Hospital. But the desire to be her own boss and serve good home cooked meals helped her and her husband sell their farm in at R.R. 1 Londesboro and build the restaurant they had both dreamed of. The land was purchased from Ben and Audrey Walsh. Construction of the new addition.started with the footings September 29. Work has progressed speedily with local contractors doing the work. initially the Hessclwoods had figured the construction would be done for spring but with the excellent timing of the contractors the grand opening of the new addition has been moved up to this weekend December 7 and 8. l3esides the extra seating there are two new washrooms and the kitchen has been expanded to allow for five extra feet for more working space. With the • much larger facilities Kay was asked if that meant a liquor licence was going to come next. "We are mainly concerned with serving good food and we really don't feel we need it now after six years," said Kay. The banquet room will not be completed in (Continued on Paee 7) Three run for warden Three candidates have declared interest in the Huron County warden's job. Bill Morley, reeve of Usborne; Eileen Palmer, Goderich reeve and Tuckersmith reeve Ervin Sillery will seek the warden's chair for 1980. The new warden will be named at the inaugural meeting on December 11. Tuckersmith reeve, Ervin Sillery, has served 18 years on municipal council and has been a member of county council for the past seven years. H'c told council members he would be pleased to represent the county as warden. Mr, Morley recently served on the Committee of Management of Huronview and has been on county council since 1975. An Usbornewownship farmer, he said his son is willing to take over management of their farming operation during the coming year so Mr, Morley can devote his time to the wardenship. Eileen Palmer has served on various committees and board during her four years on county council. She asked county council members to vote in a knowledgeable fashion when they make their choice for warden. She asked that they judge on merit, not political patronage. All three candidates said they were prepared to give the time necessary to represent the county as warden and they would be honoured to fill the position with the respect and prestige it represents. TEAM WORK — At the Triple K restaurant team work is the key to getting things done. Here Barb and Karen Young get the meals out. The Triple K is celebrating the grand opening of their new addition and are inviting everyone to come in Saturday and Sunday. (Standard Photo) — THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 5, 1979 —by Rev, Cecil Wittich Most of us, I am sure, would like to have more money to spend on gifts at Christmas. There is a gift, however, that does not re- quire money and is one that all of us may give - and that is the gift of ourselves. Let me illustrate from this true account. A father and mother went to visit their son who was The best gifts don't:require money being held in a detention center for robbery and other infractions, The parents said, "Why have you done these things? You have embar- rassed us and hurt us very deeply, Why? We have given you everything, When you were young, we gave you bicycles and, as you became older, a motorcycle and, lately, a car, We always bought you the best and latest styles of clothing, We always gave you plenty of money for parties and trips, We have given you every- thing you ever needed or wanted." And the boy answered, "That is just the trouble, You gave me everything but yourselves. When 1 wanted to go fishing, you bought me a rod and told me to go with my friends, When I needed help with my homework, you said, 'See your teacher or your classmates who know how to do it.' When 1 had questions of my own and had decisions to make, you were always too busy to sit and listen'. And now I've gone to the extent of breaking the law just to get someone's attention and to see if there is someone who will give of himself," The most valuable gift that you can give to your family or someone else is yourself: your time, your abilities, your concern. The giving of self is at the heart of Christmas. "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son," (John 3:16) God not only gave his Son, he gave himself in his Son. "God was in Christ recon- ciling the world to himself." (11 Corinthians 5:19) What others need is not so much our money and mater- ial things but our love and the gift of ourselves, A Standard Classified will pay you dividends, Have you tried one?

But the lead item on the news first thing this morning (Tuesday) has me down in the dumps. In fact you could even go so far as to say shocked, Eleven young people were trampled to death at a rock concert in Cinncinati last night, According to the radio the crowd had started to line up outside the stadium or hall at about one in the afternoon, When the doors were finally opened the crowd rushed forward to get seats on a first come, first served basis. The rush is understand- able, Standing outside in the cold is most unpleasant and the effect of waiting would create even more excitment than the crowd already had. The group, "The Who", is one of the oldest and still the most popular rock band around and to see them is quite an experience. Their showmanship is only excelled by their music, At the few concerts i have been to there has been a lot of shoving but there was always some concern from the crowd and the more vocal ones put a can to the shoving. But at "The Who" concert all control must have gone up into the cold air. The 11 young people!havc only been identified as seven men and four women. There was no fire, no flood, no danger to cause the stampede. A friend falls and the crowd carries on right over top. Maybe that is what me - ism is all about, Not helping someone, not making that little effort to reach out. The whole situation stinks and it most certainly puts a sour damper on the next "Who" concert scheduled later this week in Detroit After this edition of the Blyth Standard there are only two more issues before Christmas. When you look at it week by week as we do time is sure flying and before any +of us can groan twice backwards Christmas will be upon us, At home I have already made plans for decorations. I like to get them up early and despite Ae battle about how soon t e tree gets up7most of the decorations are up two weeks before the big day. If any of you have decorations that you make or special foods please give us a call, We would like to have some interesting topical stories to share in our Christmas issue, How about an unusual Christmas? Is there anyone travelling from far away to visit with you at this time of year? Please share with us your memories of Christmases past with any old photos. Let's make this Christmas issue one to save and treasure. Go flat out on the {lats. Or lean into a series of tight hairpin turns. 1iailfire can handle just about any terrain that comes its way. The secret? The John Deere comfort system. Trailfire's fan -cooled 340 or 440 Firebursl engine is set low to the snow for superb stability. The center of the crankshaft, in fact, is a mere 101/2 inches above the trail. And the fore-and-aft balance point is near the middle of the sled, so Trailfire virtually glides over moguls. A long -travel slide -rail suspen- sion and a seat with 8 inches of foam shrug off shocks and jolts. But there's more to Traillire than handling and comfort. The pan is high-strength metal, flanked on either side by thermoplastic rubber for protection against obstructions. The reverse -design secondary sheave makes belt changing easy. The disc brake provides sure stopping power. Yoke -type handlebars adjust to your height and riding position. A passenger seat strap lets you ride two-up in style. Come in soon and test-drive a John Deere Trailfire. It's so responsive on trails you'll swear it's alive.

Registration Number 1319 pA p /WAyyO MWAZ lMISOYMU" M4i1W/RON%%ti20rea A fall guy? The hiring of a personnel relations officer by the Huron County board of education is a fine example of finding a fall guy when negotiations between the board and teachers break down. Ever since teachers were given the right to strike a few years ago by the province relations between the board and its secondary school teachers have been difficult, to say the least. Ostensibly the reason for hiring Peter Gryseel, a department head in the London school system, is to smooth relations between the board and teachers; in reality the hiring only serves to take the heat off of the board's negotiation committee and director of education John Cochrane. Cochrane lamented over the fact that negotiations between the secondary teachers and the board in 1978 were quite bitter with the hoard's top employee placing the blame on the board's "hired gun" Fred Reeves. While it was true that Reeves had little experience in teacher negotiations, it was the board who hired him and who supported him throughout the entire ordeal. Under the guise of a "federation" the secondary school teachers group is one of the best organized labour unions in the country. As such, it makes sense to hire people who have been involved in tough negotiations. While Gryseel's salary of $39,000 per year is a mere drop in the bucket compared to the board's total budget of over$23,000,000 and to the nearly $7,000,000 which must be raised locally, it still represents The salaries of 1.5 teachers, something which one thinks the federation might be concerned about. What is needed is an overhaul of labour relations between the board and teachers with binding arbitration to be introduced automatically if the two parties could not reach an agreement in a reasonable time. During the strike of a couple of years ago the board earned a lot of respect from the people of the county for standing up for what they believed was an equitable settlement; one doubts that the hiring of Gryseel will evoke the same reaction. Zurich Citizens News To the editor: Hall will be open As noted in the Blyth Standard last week, construction has commenced on the addition to Blyth Memorial Hall. Thr• Board of Directors, Blyth Centre for the A r,ts, feels it is extremely important that the building remain open during construct- ion so that all on-going activities can amtinue with as little inconvenience as possible to the groups concerned. The Blyth Recreation Committee has been assured by the Centre's Board, the architect and the contractor that every effort will be made to work around the activities planned for the Hall in the next few months, We ask you to bear with us and we know that everyone will be delighted with the improvements to the lower hall come spring.

With the departure recently of Pierre Trudeau and the attempts to assess his record as Prime Minister we look again at how history judges our leaders, Any attempt to judge the effect Pierre Trudeau has had on Canada at this point in time is ridiculous. We need time to distance ourselves from the emotions of the moment, Trudeau supporters, saddened by his deci- sion to retire, may over value his contribu- tions. Trudeau haters no doubt undervalue what he has done for the country. We have only to look back in history to see how time can change the perspective of leaders. Today the record looks favourably on our first prime minister Sir John A, MacDonald, Yet during his long tenure in office MacDonald was always at the eye of a storm of controversy. The controversy, of course, hit its peak with the Pacific Scandal, During those days of tumult he was accused of political corruption, was turfed out by the voters, then reinstated, He was often so drunk he could hardly stand to deliver his speeches in Parliament, If we had such a leader today, he wouldn't last a full term in office. Under the glare of our moment -by -moment media examination when a few beads of perspiration on a forehead can effect a career of a politician, someone like MacDonald would probably alienate the press and public in short order. And yet, looking back nearly a century later we see him as a great, if flawed, leader. The second giant among our prime ministers Sir Wilfred Laurier also lived through turbulent times. There were English versus French problems in those days too. There were long debates over free trade with the U.S. There were arguments over Canada's role in the British Empire, He was eventually defeated by the people. They no longer considered him good enough to lead the country. Yet today he's considered right up there with Sir John in stature. There is a tendancy in trying to assess the importance of a leader to look at the record of the legislation he brought in, Legislation, of course, is one of the important things a leader leaves behind. But there is something harder to judge but ultimately more impor- tant that is left behind by a leader. The power of the top job in any country gives a person ways to effect his nation more subtley. Aside from MacDonald's building of the Canadian Pacific Railway there is little else that most people can remember him doing. Yet he left his stamp on the country simply by his passionate belief in one Canada reaching from sea to sea, Similarly Laurier's legislative record is unknown to most of us, yet he left a mark on the country that can not be really measured, For one thing he showed English speaking Canadians that the French weren't just dumb habitants but eloquent, effective leaders. He showed French Canadians that they could be leaders in the country, not just the servants of the English, Elswehere in the world, how many people remember what Winston Churchill did in Parliament, What they remember of the man is ability to sell the British people on their own will to survive and persevere in the worst of the the trials of the Second World War, Compare the legislative records of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnston and Johnst• ton is probably more impressive. Yet Americans and people around the world tend to hold Kennedy as a great leader while Johnston they would rather forget (and perhaps already have). This feeling is helped perhaps by the assassination of Kennedy but more so by the style he gave the country, the spirit of excitment that surrounded his terns in office. Likewise close as we are to the events it's difficult to see who history will record as the better leader, John Diefenbakcr with his aura of vision, his ability to excite people or dull old Mike Pearson who couldn't excite anybody but who in his turbulent days as Prime Minister passed a good deal of progressive legislation, And of course we come to Pierre Trudeau, the mystery man, the man beloved and detested, What will be his legacy to his country? There is no doubt what he wanted to leave his country when he moved on. He wanted to build a strong, united country where people of either language group could feel equally at home, At this point in time there will be many who say he failed. The backlash against his bilingual policies reached the heights of ridiculousness when some people complained about French on cereal boxes, French that had been there for at least 30 years. Yet history tends to move . two steps back for every three forward. Progress in understanding between people can be painfully slow. Whether Trudeau slid bring his country any closer to his goal of unity will only be told many years from now. Sugar & Spice by Bill Smiley Influencing the weather Well, I seem to be able to influence the weather merely by writing a column about it. So let's try it again. Early in October, 1 wrote a column laudatory of those golden October days, with a sky of infinite blue, just a pleasant tinge of melancholy in the air, and a general sort of blat along those lines. Promptly, without even a decent inter- lude, October turned into a monster. One of my colleagues, in whom 1 place infinite trust because he is always wrong, and I go from there, told me that this October had approximately, one-third of the sun- light hours of a normal October. For once, I believed him. November, surely the foulest month of the year in this country, with the possible exception of March, is living up to expectations, One day of watery sunshine, four days of rain and dark skies, That's why I'm writing this, By the time it appears in print, the second half of November will have turned out to be a giddy adventure of belated Indian summer, with a touch of the deep south thrown in. November is a nothing month. The leaves are all gone. In fact, they're lying on your lawn, if you're like me, dank and soggy and heavy. The chap who's to put on your storm windows has gone into hiding, letting his phone ring its head off. And when he does come, the windows don't fit, because the sills have swelled through the inordinate rains, Or something. The skifts of snow become skiftier every time there is one, and any day you'll get up and it's midwinter. November is darkness and depression. And one of the most depressing things in view is the proliferation of Santa Claus and the four-color advertisements for Christ- mas gifts, and the ridiculous beginning of Christmas, so-called, music, There are snow tires to get on, and snow shovels, snow boots, and heavy clothing to dig out, each one a dull, sickening thud on one's spirits. This year, as in every other November, the government, whatever the shade of its coat, is waffling and indecisive and obtuse and strangely unaware of the real problems of the country. This year, in November, you can go into a grocery store, spend ten dollars, and come out with your total possessions in the palm of one hand, in one smallish paper bag, You know the old car isn't going to make it through January, but you look in horror at prices of gas and a new car, and go on driving the coughing, belching old brute, hoping for a flood or holocaust to end it all and save you the decision. This November, people are running wildly from one bank to another trust company, trying to take advantage of the ridiculous rates of interest. If they have any money. And if they don't, they quietly cry in the dark and forget about building or buying a home, because there is no way they can ever pay for it, Joe Clark's silly mortgage deal or not.

First you've got a better chance of winning a big prize — with three $100,000 Grand Prizes and twelve $25,000 Grand Prizes every week*, Then too, you've got a better chance of winning one of the smaller prizes. Because now there are thousands more prizes to be won every week— $5,000 prizes, $1,000 prizes, $100 prizes, $10 prizes and Win'fall prizes.

With nine draws instead of six every Thursday night live on TV. Get a ticket and get in the game this Thursday. You'll love it — and you could be a winner. * Now every week for every 3 million tickets issued there are: 3 Grand Prizes of $100,000 12 Grand Prizes of $25,000 27 Prizes of $5,000 and more than 160,000 other prizes. ON1AHIOLOT-IL f RYCOI tt-01Vaal More ways to play your ticket. Now there's a new Wintario ticket with a 6 -digit nurnber and no series number.** It's a lot simpler— and a lot more fun to play. You win $10 if any three consecutive digits of your ticket number match the 3 -digit number drawn. For instance, say your ticket number is 123456. You could win if 123, 234, 345, or 456 were drawn. Four ways to play your ticket number! In the same way, you could win $100 by matching any four consecutive digits of your ticket number with the winning 4 -digit number drawn. Match the 5 -digit winning number and win $1,000. And if your ticket number matches one of the five 6 -digit numbers drawn, you'll win one of the three $100,000 First Grand Prizes or one of the 12 Grand Prizes of $25,000. And then, there's Win'fall. Match any two consecutive digits of your ticket number with the Win'fall number drawn and you've won a book of tickets on the next draw worth $5.00. **Wintario tickets are issued every week in blocks of one million tickets, and each block is numbered from 000000 to 999999, and no series number! For each weekly draw at least 3 million tickets will be issued. So there will be at least three winning ticket numbers issued (1 in each block) that match the 6 -digit $100,000 First Grand Prize number drawn, and at least three winning ticket numbers issued that match each of the four $25,000 Grand Prize numbers drawn — twelve $25,000 prizes in all. That's at least 15 Grand Prizes in all. The name's the same, but it's a great new game. 6 - THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 5, 1979 Congratulations to the Triple K Restaurant LOCAL CONTRACTORS FINISH ADDITION AT TRIPLE K RESTAURANT—The contractors who helped build the new addition would like to congratulate the owners of the Triple K Restaurant on the new expansion and say they were proud to have been a part of the operation.

THEIR LAST BATTLE I wear a poppy And hold it high For the pilot who Roamed the enemies' sky. He raced and fought To protect his country, And lost his life Over another country. I wear a Poppy And hold it high For the soldier who trained And was willing to die. Who marched and fought '1'o the very end To save his home, Family and friend. I wear a poppy And hold it high For the sailor vanished In silence to cry. To lie in the ocean, In an unmarked grave, Fighting for freedom, So young yet so brave, I wear a poppy And hold it high To show the veterans With pride in my eye That I remember Their suffering for me Rest all you brave soldiers Until Eternity. —Mark Hoba WE WILL REMEMBER THEM Many, many years ago Young men, old men went off to fight They fought all day with the foe, And through the pitch dark night. Men went out to the wavy sea, Shooting guns, firing can- nons. Hundreds were dying for you and me But still the war ran on. the war was ended on the I 1 th of November They had defeated enemy. People will always remem- ber The men who set our country free, the —Susie Walsh, Grade 6, Blyth WHY I WEAR A POPPY The reason I wear a poppy Ls because it is the flower that grows in Flanders Fields. Council notes (Continued from Page 1) The subject of aTot lot was discussed. According to the planning act of the Ministry of Housinglfive percent of the land developed must be dedicated for public use or a contribution in lieu of the land be made. Mr. Clark had suggested at an earlier meeting that a Tot lot be planned. This parcel does not meet the 5% requirement so it was suggested by Mr, Clark that the remaining value be used to supply equipment for the lot. The amount and type of equipment will be determined at a later date, Mr. Ross submitted a written list of new wording and minor details for council's viewing and suggested that the village solicitor view the agreement, Another delegation' approached council Monday night. Sheila Richards) president of the Board of Direc' tors and James Lawrie member of the Blyth Centre for the Arts board have run into a snag with the interim financing for the new addition for Memorial Hall. T he board has received some funding for the project but cannot use the building as collateral for construction loans. Council pointed out that the village is in no position to offer any financing. After lengthy discussion, the council 'moved that the village of Blyth guarantee the Centre's bank loan of $50,000 in order for the Blyth Centre for the Arts to receive interim financing for the new addition. At the last meeting the board of directors cosigned a statement with the village that absolves them from any debts incurred with the hall. The levy for the Huron county board of education is $35,384 and is the last instalment for this year. Huron County levy is $18,162 for this last term and the Huron Perth Separate School Board levy for this last term is $334. All were ordered paid. Council received the contract for CP rail for access for the village drain to go across the tracks. A 30" diameter reinforced concrete drain has been allowed. Compensation for this amounts to $40, Flanders Fields, where not only poppies are planted but also crosses, Near these crosses lie soldiers of France, Canada, U.S.A. and possibly others. Soldiers who gave up the good life to join the army and fight to defend their country. The poppy signifies the blood lost in the battle fields and other places such as Dieppe and Normandy. Not all of these men were like Billie Bishop, or the Red Baron, but still they had the courage and the heart to fight the enemy to the last so coming generations would. have a free country to live in. Yes, many of these men gave up their lives so we would be free, The poppy is not just something for which you pitch in a nickel to buy at Remembrance Day. Instead it is something that would be a reminder to you of the men who lost their lives for us. —Tom Bailey, Grade 7, Blyth I wear a poppy because it reminds me of all the men who died for me and are buried in Flanders Fields, That's the men who lie under the cross on Remembrance Day. Remember the brave men who fought for us. You wear a poppy to remember the men who died on Remem- brance Day. The poppy re- minds me of Flanders Fields. Men went there and died for peace and freedom. The sky above is cold, We think of the soldiers who were in the ' cold. The battle is over now.

And the blue-eyed sheiks are rattling their sabres in the west, and the chain -smoker is rattling his quill in Quebec, and altogether, it looks like a long, dark, cold winter for this country, physically and spiritually. However, brethren and sisttrn, do not go quiet into that good night. It's not all bad. There's some great news on the sports pages, Toronto, at least, is maintaining its image. It has the worst baseball team in North America, in the big leagues, It has the worst football team in Eastern Canada. And the Maple Leafs are well on their way to being renamed the Cellar Dwellers. Doesn't all that cheer you up? At least there's some consistency in the country. It's only a few weeks to the equinox. And even if you're so deep in snow by then that you don't know an equinox from a solstice, never fear. Spring is near. A mere four months off, I feel like a sailor throwing lead life -belts to drowning souls, but 1 repeat the call; "Press on, regardless," Maybe you'll hit a lottery winner, Maybe your wife isn't really pregnant. Maybe you can live on un- employment insurance and still get your Saturday night case of twenty-four, Maybe. But 1 know it's hard to keep the faith in November. Even the ruddy birds, those with brains, have gone south, Those without are walking. It's too wet to fly. Think of all the good things in life, Now keep on thinking. Think some more, and I'm sure you'll come up with one. Let's see, I'm not dying of cancer, I don't think, I can afford three squares a day. I hope, My five shares of CDC have dropped only $28,00 a share on the market, and have rallied by one dollar, My wife hasn't left me, as she's threatened lately. Mixed blessing, that.

"As we go to larger cattle, larger herds, we have a significant number of cattle that are stillborn that might have had a high genetic potential," Dr. Burnside said, adding that they would like to get the farmer's help in gettting calving case recorded in the new year. "We need to know more about reproduc- tion on the female side. 1 think we've got cattle that have a lot more milk and better udders, than we had a decade ago," he said adding that this was the direct result of progeny testing programs. Dr. Burnside also talked about milk recording, stating he was convinced that 70-80 per cent of dairy farmers should be recording milk production. He said the DHAS program in Quebec, the largest milk recording program in Canada today, has seen a rapid increase, He spoke about the Canadian Milk Recording Board which has been running a comparison between owner supplier pro- grams and supervisor programs and he :aid they have been seeing an expansion in lnilk recording. Dr. Burnside said that milk recording has a lot of benefits and he didn't think it was emphasized enough. "It'll enable us to do a better job of breeding cattle," he said, Part of the improvement in test groups is to get a type classification, he said. He talked about Quebec, where if farmers agree to go on test record, they have to agree to test young bulls on one third of their herd. "If you supplied young bulls on one third of your herd, we have plenty of evidence that this will maximize the genetic pro- gress," he told the farmers, Not more than six per cent of cows are being bred to young bulls," he said. He suggested that from now on, farmers should arm themselves with the facts and that it's going to take a lot more co-operation and participation from breed- ers to get the facts down in matter of feed utilization, milk testing and other things. Gordon Bell, Fieldman for the Holstein- Friesan Association presented the following people with High Production certificates at the meeting; Cliff McNeil of R.R.6, Goderich-three certificates; Allan Wylie of Clifford - three certificates; the John Franken Estate near Auburn -one certificate, George Hayden of the Gorrie arca placed first with the Huron County High Average and Ray Cox of Goderich Launch alcohol abuse campaign A publicity and education drive against abuse of alcohol, which includes a prong directed at school students as young as the Grade 7 level, is about to he launched in Ontario. The campaign, to begin in November and to include public advertising which will be particularly visible during the Christmas and New Year holidays, was announced last week by Health Minister Dennis Timbrell, "There are an estimated 250,000 alcoholics in Ontario, more than double the num- ber 15 years ago," Mr. Timbre!! said. "The inci- dence of cirrhosis of the liver has doubled in the past ten years and illness, directly attributable to alcohol abuse, will account for more than 270,000 Ontario . hospital days this year. "This year in Ontario, there will be at least 30,000 motor vehicle accidents in- volving a drinking driver, and more than 600 drinking drivers will be involved in accidents with loss of life.

Act now ! Insulation needn't cost a lot Your farmhouse can be kept cozy this winter at reduced cost if you act now. "Use insulation to advant- age in all areas and try to restrict living space," ad- vises Dr. D.R. Pattie, School of Engineering, University of Guelph. "Start with insu- lating the basement, Cover windows with fiberglass batts and then pieces of plywood to keep out cold drafts, Plug any crevice or hole that allows cold air to enter," Heat loss can also be prevented by insulating the attic, Loose fill insulation is easy to handle and effective for this. Sometimes it may be pos- sible to reduce heating costs by restricting living space for the winter. A guest room or vacant bedroom can be closed off temporarily. If the unheated rooms surround the living area, they will provide insulation. High ceilings in older homes can be lowered as part of a modernization program. Install insulation in the space above the new ceilin¢. Old storm windows may be ineffective in keeping out a driving wind. Dr. Pattie suggests making insulated shutters from plywood and a layer of styrofoam, especially for unused rooms. They can be attached to the inside of windows, or hinged shut at night and opened during the day. Make sure they wedge tightly into place for maxi- mum benefit. "A cheaper technique is to cover windows and unused doors with plastic, fixed in place with masking tape. The plastic can be easily replaced each year and is an in- expensive, temporary way of blocking out cold air." Keep a record of oil consumption to show how these simple steps can lower your heating bills this winter.

It was felt that the Code of Practice should be replaced with a Code of Rights for farmers • to provide positive protection of a farmers right to farm. The Code of Practice, originally intended to be merely a guideline for municipalities, has now become a "must." it is being instituted in official plans as well as zoning by-laws. It has become both a written and unwritten law across Ontario. The Code of Practice has failed the Ontario' farmer. those at the convention said. It has not come to grips with the number of non - 1, rms uses already in rural Ontario. It has impact on new houses, new barns and additions to barns that will he built from here on, It does not conte to grips with the present harassment and limitations put on farmers. There is a fear that the Code of Practice could expand to Lions BINGO Every Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Blyth Memorial Hall 12 reg. games, 3 share the wealth.

The OFA convention decided first thing that needs to be done is to move away from negative controls on farmers to a positive pro - =;Priced Right High interest hurts consumers too OFA The Ontario Federation of .Agriculture Convention in Toronto addressed itself to many of the problems created by record high interest rates. Farmers have experienced an increase in interest charges of at least 5% - from 10% to 15% + within the last year. From figures taken from the Ontario Farm Manage- ment Analysis Project, 1978, University of Guelph the 5% increased interest cost, both on borrowed equity and as an investment cost on owner equity would add $16,650,00 to the annual cost of operating an average size dairy farm. This cost trans- lates into an additional 6c per quart of milk produced, which cost must be passed on to the consumer. Using figures from the same source the additional 5% increase in interest rates when charged to 26 beef feedlots surveyed added an additional $16.81 per hundred weight to the live beef animal. This is equivalent to about 39 cents NEW YEARS DANCE Sponsored by Blyth Legion Blyth & District Community Centre Mon,,Dec. 31st Music by Mystery Train Admission -57.50 each Dancing 9 til 1 o'clock Lunch and novelties supplied Only 350 tickets will be sold per pound at the retail level, Similar costincreases for hogs, eggs, chicken, grain products etc. can be shown. Therefore F of A members say the consumer should be quite concerned about the inflationary pressure of the rapidly rising interest costs. These increased costs, if not passed on to the consumer.. will have to be absorbed by the farmer. The farmer has' not enjoyed a sufficient profit margin to handle these in- creased costs, and some could be forced to liquidate their holdings and cease production, Clearly, high interest rates over the longer term will discourage investment, lower production and thus raise prices still higher in the future, The main reason for the present high interest rates as set by the Government is to attempt to hold the Canadian dollar at a higher level in order to repay foreign borrowings which are due in a large part to federal and provincial government deficits, If our currency were devalued still further, governments (and big business) would have more difficulty repaying their' foreign loans. Other provinces and countries shield their farmers from the full impact of high interest rates, Ontario farmers want alternati', sfound to the pre- sent high interst rate monetary policy, or farmers shielded from these high rates. Such a program would make Ontario farmers more competitive in the market- place, and it would help reduce the inflationary spiral of the consuemrs food basket, the OFA convention heard, Standard WANT ADS WORK Phone 523-9646 Texmade ''ate► Flannelette Sheet Sets y .. . . `. ovT Double 27.95 Queen x'9. 95 Texmade Ibex Blankets Double 7 4 9 Queen 10.99 B.J.
