(Standard Photo) Lil Er Jean sell Blyth Kitchen Cupboard The business *orld is an ever changing place and here in Blyth is no different, The Kitchen Cupboard is officially sold as of this week to its neighbouring store the Blyth Variety, • Lil McLaughlin and her sister Jean Storrar co-owners of the popular gift and health food outlet have retired to new adventures and look forward to taking some time off, The store opened in April 1977 and was supposed to be a tea room initially. The sisters looked at gift stores around the province and picked up tips and supplies all over. This was one of the highlights of the shop; the variety of items and Canadian crafts. "We both have enjoyed the stay here in Blyth very much" said Jean. "But we would . like more time for our families." One of the highlights of the store was the homemade shortbread and marmalades, as well as fudge, that the ladies made to sell. They are leaving the recipes with the new owners in hope that part of the store will 'continue to exist. The Thalens who are taking over the shop on January 1, have no plans to change the store itself. The name will remain the same but the stores will have an opening between them so that customers may circulate from one to the other. The Thalens hope to keep the same line of, gift items in the Kitchen Cupboard, and will move over their wide selection of knitting yarns and Dutch candies. Irene and Harm Thalen started Blyth Variety this past spring and have enjoyed every minute of their operation. They had considered expanding' this summer and informed the ladies in the Kitchen Cupboard that if they ever„ thought of selling to let them know. When Lil and Jean finally made their decision to sell the Thalens were ready to expand. Thalens are long time residents of Blyth area and Jean and Lil have roots in the Listowel and Guelph area. After stock taking over the Christmas holidays, Jean will have more time at home in Listowel and her part time job there at the hospital. Lil plans to move to Guelph are; again near her son and his fancily. ry Plowmen name president BY WILMA OKE Allan Campbell of RRI.

McKinley quits -others line up Bob McKinley, the Progressive Conservative MP who has represented the Huron riding for the past 14 years, announced Wednesday that he won't be seeking re-election in the upcoming federal election. Mr. McKinley, a Zurich area farmer, was first elected to parliament in 1965, and has been re-elected four times since then, In announcing he wouldn't seek re- election Mr. McKinley said the thought of a winter campaign was certainly a factor in influencing the decision. Mr. McKinley, who is still in Ottawa, said there also may be another minority Parliament following the February election and that would mean there might be another election in a short time. At least three candidates are rumoured to be seeking the Progressive Conservative nomination in the Huron -Bruce riding in the upcoming general election, Murray Cardiff, of R.R.1, Ethel, a farmer and Huron County director on the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board, is one man rumoured to be seeking the PC nomination. In a telephone interview Friday, Mr., Cardiff said he couldn't confirm or deny the rumour at present. He did add he was "considering" seeking the nomination. The PC party is holding an executive meeting Friday afternoon, and Mr. Cardiff said he would be announcing his decision.on the race next week. A second candidate who has tossed his hat into the ring is Bruce Shaw of Exeter, principal of Seaforth District High School. Mr. Shaw, the former mayor of Exter, said he enjoys his career in education, but would like to make another contribution to society. He said if he wins the PC nomination, he would have to apply for a leave of absence from the school to campaign, This would be an upaid 'leave, but Mr, Shaw said he' would return to the school to teach his Grade 13 English class every other day. Mr. Shaw said he has been a supporter of the party since hearing former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker speak when Mr. Shaw was still a public school student. The third candidate rumoured to be seeking the nomination is Jim Hayter, Sr, of Goderch, owner of Jini Hayter Chev-Olds Ltd. dealership. Mr Hayter could not be reached for a comment by press time on Friday. The Huron County New Democratic Party learned Thursday night that three individuals have expressed an interest in seeking that party's nomination in the upcoming federal election. At the party's organizational meeting, Thursday, Jan. 14 wa3 set as the tentative date for the nomination meeting. Paul Carroll of Seaforth said Thursday's meeting was held to set up the groundwork for the campaign. He said members "established a tone for the campaign strategy we'll use," Mr. Carroll said with a winter campaign, the party will use a different style of campaigning than they did in last year's May election. He said the telephone will be used a lot and there will be an attempt to ptrt the party's position across to the public through advertising in weekly newspapers. He said all party members will be telephoned in the next few days, since the party would like direct involvement by party members in the candidate selection process. Mr. Carroll said he couldn't say at this time who the three individuals are who are considering letting their names stand for the nomination. Moira Couper of Bayfield, who was the NDP candidate in the last election, is now working under contract with the Lambton Presbytery of the United Church of Canada near Forest, but still maintains her home in Bayfield. Huron Liberals will nominate on Thursday evening January 3 at a meeting in Blyth Community Centre. GraNme Craig, Walton area farmer: and technician who was the Liberal candidate in the May 22 election has indicated he will again seek the nomination, Hon. Eugene Whelan,former minister of agriculture,will speak. NEW RETURNING OFFICER Art Bolton, of RR1 Dublin, has been appointed returning officer for the Huron and Bruce riding. Mr. Bolton learned of his appointment late Tuesday and flew to Ottawa on Wednesday for a briefing.. His wife said she expects the returning office will be located in Seaforth since this would be the most convenient location. Mr. Bolton well known McKillop. wing is no stranger to returning officer activities. He, has assisted his father Russel T. Bolton,who until his retirement was returning officer for Huron Middlesex provincial riding. Mr. Bolton succeeds Garnet !Hicks of Exeter who resigned in November having reached retirement age. Mr. Hicks had • served since 1966. There will be no. door-to-door enumeration of voters for the February 1980 general election. Shortly after Prime Minister Joe Clark called the election on Thursday, cl{ief electoral officer, Jean -marc Hamel said that the i Christmas mail rush would make it almost impossible to get materials in the hands of the more than 100,000 people needed for the enumeration. Had enumeration gone on as in the past, the enumerators would have had to start their work on Dec. 31. Under the new plan, the voters' list from the last election will be considered the preliminary list for Feb. 18. Advance polling days are Saturday Feb. 9; Monday, Feb, 11; and Tuesday, Feb. 12.

The weather and bills are often enough to depress many of us. But this year we are about to be saved from winter doldrums. The re- cently called federal election slated for February 18 may prove to be anyone's win. For the next few weeks at least we will have candidates to observe and subtle slander to listen' to and hear all the events of the last short reign of the Conservative govern- ment dredged up again. With Bob McKinley out of the running as Conservative rep in Huron it looks like this county could go either way in the election. But I know many of my relatives will argue that point. Without the spring plowing and planting occupying everyone's minds there may be a better crowd out to the campaign meetings and more to enjoy the many breakfasts and banquets given to show your tummy what a good guy can do for you. Already our prime minister is hot on the trail and with his "tough act'. It may be hard for the other two parties to have as strong a comeback or retort, But on to more cheerful things, Every year I make a Books at the Library FAMILIES by Jane Howard Tribes and clans and fam- ilies are what this book is all about. The writer, from a Mid -western farm clan, has been fascinated with her own and other families. She finds families are not dying but they are changing their size, shape and purpose. Some interesting but provocative reading. CALLAHAN GOES SOUTH By Francis Ames Here is a tale of action, humour and suspense in the old West.

MITCHELL AS a boy, the hero, David Lang, lost his kite before he even had a chance to fly it. In 1960 he was sent to Shelby, Alberta to write an article on its oldest inhabitant, Daddy . Sherry who was nearing his 111th birthday. As the old man flew his brithday kite, David partially ra zed his ambition, small vow to myself that I'', will try and enjoy this annual white stuff a little more. It has started to become a tradition to have friends over for a cross country ski in the moonlight and then sit down and enjoy a potluck dinner. The skiing helps keep the calories down from all the good food and the exercise is equally good for the constitution. Also to look forward in the new year to is the coming of spring. Now it may seem a bit presumptuous of me to suggest spring at the end of December but my seed catalogue came in the mail last week and I am waiting for a quiet moment in the new year to sit down and plan the garden for the spring. My New Year's Wish for everyone is to think positivly, The absence of negative thoughts makes for a better place to live and makes people laugh more and of course avoid ulcers. Happy New Year.

The Conservative government was defeated over the strict and harsh budget they had set down for the country. And the country hasn't even recovered from the blow the budget delivered when it is sent reeling into another federal election barely six months after the last one. Appraisal of the whole situation after the fact indicates that the vote that brought the government down was really a motion to amend the budget. The leader fo the country chose to interpret that as a vote of no confidence and rather than trying to alter the budget to suit the demands he chose to go to the polls again. The thinking behind such a move is clever. With the Liberals without a new leader and the NDP never the favourite, the Conservatives could possibly come back into office with a working majority. Talk shows were quickly reorganized to allow callers to discuss the future election and the budget. If the majority can be judged by those few callers then the Conservatives are in for another session. Many callers were frustrated with the opposition parties for allowing the government, indeed the country, to go further into debt with an election. Others were prepared to wait out the budget with baited breath if only to see their country better off financially and hope for better times which by comparison must not be far behind. Ontario counterparts to the federal Conservatives were crying the blues over the budget saying that whole affair would help break the bit of strength Ontario has left. But with the call to campaign arms the Conservative are again united in cause both provincially and federally. Although few really want another go at the polls maybe the chance to try again to elect a government best suited to these troubled times is appro priate. This election offers us another chance to elect a government with a working majority, a government which will try to organize our economy, get the country out of ever deepening debt and give us confidence in our country's leader, who ever it is.

She has writen this tribute to Auburn and thanks to Ila we are going to let the rest of this community have a chance to read it. TRIBUTE TO AUBURN There's a little village called Auburn On County Road number 25 And they had a big celebration For Auburn -one hundred plus 25, This event took a year in the planning, By people who played many roles, For the population of this tiny hamlet, Is just over two hundred souls. But they worked together like beavers, raising money in so many ways Inviting everyone back for the party, A party that lasted four days. A dance was a kick-off for Friday A huge crowd by the riverside Helped to cheer for the beard -growing fellas And the queen who was chosen to preside. Kim McDowell was chosen Heritage Queen In her grandmother's wedding gown She descneds from the Armstrong and Carter clan These names are familiar around town It Rained I wish 1 could say that the Saturday Sky Was blue and bright with the sun But the nearer Parade tine approached on the clock The heavier those clouds had become, The floats lined up on the northern road, Wtih bands, and horses and clowns, And just as we moved off at 1:00 p.m. The rain came pouring down. And it rained, We had worked for days on the Craig family float Wtih theme of basebt ll and bat So "getting wet" wasn't spoiling our fun Dad was dry --sitting under the big hat Thousands of people lined the Auburn streets With umbrellas, and raincoats and boots They cheered and waved as we rolled by, Soaking wet in our baseball suits. Here may I add an important note We managed to win first prize for our float, And it rained But we soon mopped,up,when we got back, For the time for Dad's party was near' To honour the '53 baseball team, Junvenile O,B.A. champions that year. The day rounded out with a fish fry. By the Shriners in the Community Hall. Then off to the river flats once again For another successful "Ball". And it rained Sunday morning an overflow crowd again Came to, worship and sing and pray, And when the i service had ended All, for lunch, were invited to stay, The Township boys had a tug-of-war They pulled in the mud and the rain West Wawanosh was declared the winner, They got first prize for their pain, Miss Jackson, cutting the birthday cake, Heritage plaques for those brave pioneers A memorial service at Ball's cemetery too Earned our thanks and just a few tears, And it rained. As time for our Heritage Concert approached The weatherman would still not relent, The decision was made by the committee in charge To move the whole show to the "Tent". The Craigellen Singers in their long white skirts, Down there through the mud and the rain, Harry solved that delemma in his bright plumber's van Bussing two loads down that slithery lane, Brother Bill, to be the M.C. for the show, Was decked out in his nice summer suit, Imagine the sight when he stepped from the van Pants rolled up --and Dad's rubber boots. And it rained. Well, a bang up show we finally had, As Bill took us down Memory Lane, Recalling for us "Sights and sounds" from the past Oh, the memories it stirred agin,.
