125th birthday party
BY DEBBIE RANNEY
As Ed Suliian would have said, "It was a
really good shew," when Moms Township
held its 125th birthday celebrations over the
holiday weekend.
The big birthday party got started Friday
night with the laying of a wreath by the
Legion cenotaph and then later on a variety
concert was held at the arena.
On Saturday morning a baby contest was
held with Matthew Shortreed, son of William
and Varerie Shortreed of Walton winnng the
best overall baby. The other winners included
Michelle Lynn Thompson, daughter of John
Joyce Thompson for girls one to six months;
Ainslea Joan Livingston. daughter of Ross
and Joan Livington for girls six to 12 months;
Terry John Nichol of R.R. 4. Lucknow son of
Hugh and Susan Nichol for boys 1.6 months
and Matthew John Shortreed for boys 6 • 12
months.
In the afternoon, there was a school
reunion at the Brussels school, lawn bowling.

Soil dispute goes to council
Blyth council tried to avoid
becoming involved in a pri-
vate dispute last Monday
night involving topsoil.
Ralph Campbell along with
lawyer approached council
about the matter of topsoil.
Mr. Campbell had purchased
from the village in 1979. The
village gave permission to
Mr. Campbell to store the soil
on the village property next to
his own lot. Since then the
land owned by Mr. Campbell
hu been sold and the new
owner GeotgeStarei claims
the soil that is bordering on
his land belotags to him.
Mr. Campbell told council
that he has been having
problems getting the soil and
had to resort to calling the
police into the matter July 11,
1979 to have equipment
blocking the soil withdrawn.
Reeve Tom Cronin noted
that council does not want to
be involved in this personal
matter. Council did however
agree to make a statement
saying it gave Mr. Campbell
permission to remove the
topsoil. Council further made
a motion to write a letter to
the lawyers involved giving
Mr. Campbell possession of
the top soil and allow him to
store the top soil.
Mr. Campbell is anxious to
have the matter settled and
the top soil removed u soon
u poulbk.
Due to the postal strike a lot
of correspondence had to be
tabled, There were no reso-
utions to be looked after or
requests for grants.
Bruce and Gary Richmond
approached council about the
matter of moving the mobile
home located on Keith Rich-
mond's lot. The approval of
the trailer was a temporary
one and council after discuss-
ing the problems of not
having a designated area in
the village for such homes
gave an extension on the
permit. The Rkhmonds noted
that they have received no
word In writing about the
muter and have been looking
for a new spot for the home.
Blyth does have a designated
mobile home area but it is
undeveloped. The Subdiv-
ion planned for by Art Clark
has been shelved and council
was going to meet with Mr.
Clark to discuss some
scheme to help get work
moving again. After hearing
the minutes councillor Mann-
ing voiced concern over the
510,000 transferred to the
recreation account for Mem-
orial HaLL. He was under the
impression that it was a loan
not a grant. In future matters
he wants a clarification as to
where the monies are going
and if they are loans or
rants.

contest with Carol Wheeler of R.R S,
Brussels crowned as the Morris queen and

The summer of 1981 has
been one of discontent.
There seems to be no end to
the bad news. Strife contin-
ues in The Middle East. The
sties of England have been
torn with riots. The Canadian
Dollar continues to decline in
value, in comparision with
the American Dollar. Federal
Minister MacEachern talks
about higher taxes shortly
after provincial increases.
The strike by Postal Workers
continues. Twenty three
thousand over paid unskil:ed
workers are allowed to bring
hardship to millions in this
nation, and around the

strikes add to the long list of

Human nature with its
weaknesses does not always
keep its promises. As a result
credability gaps are created.
It used to be said "A man's

In other words I can depend

From Me to You
By Rhea Hamilton
i was mentally making a list
on the weekend of the various
plants that I want to slip for
the winter and what pots have
to be brought in before the
snow flies. Now that must be
a sure sign that the summer is
half over.
We finally got our bonfire
lit. For the past few years
Klaus has wanted to have a
little spot set aside to burn old
stinky wood scraps and enjoy
the coziness of a bonfire. This
year he carefully laid out a
Targe metal wagon rim and we
had our first fire this week-
end.
Sitting outside we could
hear the crickets and when we
walked over to the house the
dew was heavy and tickled
our toes.
Yep summer was indeed
moving quickly and we were
consciously making lists of
THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 5, 1961 - A3
Mid -summer blues time
what had to be done in the few
good weeks of weather left to
us.
I surveyed the garden for a
few late blossoms to enter in
the Blyth garden show Aug-
ust 13. Last year was my first
and I was pleased at being
able to take part.
But with the dry weather
the show in our gardens is
limited to tiny border plants,
worm riddled roses and
droopy sweet peas. But you
never know what you can get
together in a pinch.
The postal strike certainly
has caused a breather here in
the office. Without the num-
erous releases to wade
through we are able to get
right to the material we want.
On the otlfter hand you feel
rather out of it when you come
into work and there is no mail
to go through to get your day
off to a rolling start.
Those not able to get out
and about must be finding it
difficult to find things to fill
their day without letters or
cards to read and write to
loved ones. Now would be the
perfect time to visit these
people rather than sending
the traditional letter or even
phoning.

The mail strike
The mail strike, irritating to us all, is a special hassle for businesses
which depend on Canada Post to deliver their product.
Specifically what comes to the editor's mind is of course the newspaper
business. Thanks to the co-operation of neighbouring newspaper and our
employees, small post offices and rural mail carriers, Expositor readers
in the immediate area, most of Huron and Perth, get their papers every
week at the usual time. But that takes a lot of extra effort and our own
courier routes don't always work out perfectly.
Just how much those papers mean to some readers has been brought
home to us over and over in recent weeks. People from the city home on
holidays come in to collect the copies they've missed.
At out of town social engagements staff members here have been
greeted with "well I hope ;ou brought the Expositors." The editor's
taken to always having some back copies in the car because you usually
run into hungry readers after the office is closed,.
Once in awhile the reaction of loyal readers isn't quite so gratifying.
Staff in the office of a neighbouring newspaper were being driven
bonkers a couple of weeks in a row when one reader's copy of another
weekly, not the Expositor, didn't arrive as soon as he thought it should,
"The strike's been on for weeks. You'd think you people could have
gotten it straight by now" this irate reader berated the staff who were
kind enough to let their office be used as a depot by other county papers.
The whole mess is the newspapers' not the post office's fault, was the
gist of this gentleman's argument. Needless to say, we disagree but
please if you're missing your paper and are upset about it, call us and
we'll try and work something out. We hate to hear about anybody
abusing a colleague's hospitality and willingness to help.
And the strike? Well, like every small business dependent on the mails
(we listened in amazement the other night at the tale of a city person who
said "well, I can't really see how the mail strike's hurting anybody is it?)
we hope it's over darn soon. It's pretty rough when the accounts can't go
out and no money is coming in. A fully paid 17 week maternity leave
sounds terrific, sure. Any worker wh ohas been or plans to be pregnant
likes the idea. But we can't for the life of us figure out how any small
business, or for that matter the business we all own, the government, can
pay for it.
So we hope the feds hold firm on that one. But we just wish MPs had
seen fit to hold firm on their own 31 per cent pay raise, plus cost of living
allowance. At those rates, maternity leave would be a breeze.
Anne Chislett's hit play Quiet in the Land
poses an interesting question: how far do you
go in upholding what you believe in despite
the costs?
The plat, about an Amish community torn
by the stresses of World War I and
modernization, deals with an Amish leader,
who refuses to budge from the religion of his
fathers even though it costs him a rebellious
son who goes off to join the army. Even when
the son comes back to his father after the war
and confesses (through a closed door since
the father will not face him) that he was
wrong, the father takes it u a sign that he was
right all along. He refuses to take his son
back since having lolled men during the war
the son is rowtalnted by the ou tside world.
He uses his son's confession as the proof to
himself that he was right and that he should
hold that hard line on his followers) even if it
means that some will go their own way to new
church.
To the majority of threatregoers who have
packed into the Blyth Summer Festival to see

Behind the Scenes

as fanatical old fool. Destruction has been
spread around him because he refuses to
budge an inch from his convictions. There's
another question that comes to mind by this
example, however: what is the line between
standing by your beliefs and fanaticism?
Canadians, more than most, are a people of
compromise. Our nation has been since the
beginning built on our ability to find an
acceptable middle path between two ex-
tremes. Anyone who holds to one extreme or
the other is likely to be regarded as an
extremist. But what if the extreme is right?
What if justice calls for the extreme view, not
the compromise? Probably in Germany
during the Second World War there were
people who felt strongly about what their
government was doing to the Jewish
population. Equally probabk was it that
someone who heard their protests thought
they were being extreme. After all, Hitler
won't persecuting everyone, only the -Jews.
in the play, the angry son accuses the
father of profiting by the War, which indeed
the farmers of the Amish community were
doing. They were of German descent and
refused to take part in the war because of
their pacifist beliefs which made their
neighbours who had sons going off to war
angry. With the boom in farm prices the war
brought, however, the Amish had more
money than ever, money to expand their farm
operations, to buy farms for their sons while
others' sons were off in France.
In the face of this the Amish elders held
that war was wrong and that they must not
take part in killing. How futile it seemed.
Here they were, one tiny group of men,
claiming that war was wrong while the
greatest war in history was going on. And
they were benefitting financially from it.
Yet were they really wrong? Because you
art in minority does that mean you should
give up and join the majority even if you don't
believe what they say you should? Those
people in Germany who held their beliefs
against Hitler during the war are hems today
because Hitler is now seen as an evil man. If
Hitler had won the war they would have been
traitorous fools. The dissidents in the Soviet
Union are regarded as brave, heroic figures
in our part of the world but miserable traitors
intheir own land.
The line between fanaticism and sticking to
principals is a fine one. Lord save the world
from the righteous fanatic. Some of the worst
crimes against humanity have been perpet-
rated by people who felt that they had the
word from their god. Look at the Ayotollahs of
Iran. Look at the Christian Crusades. Look at
the righteous right wing dictators ready to kill
thousands to save them from the horror of
communism, or the communist dictatorships
ready to sacrifice thousands of workers so the
workers can rule.
In the long run, of course, each of us can
only make the decision ourselves as to what
we believe. The Amish passivity was a futile
gesture at a time when half the world was at
war but it does not make it wrong. If everyone
who says they don't believe in war (and who
doesn't) showed the same determination not
to get involved in wars that the Amish do
there would be no wars. We cannot make
decisions for hundred, thousands or millions.
We can only decide for ourselves what is right
and hope others will decide rightly too.

Local girl tells of NS visit
The following is a letter
written by Linda Cunning-
ham on her return from a two
week's 4-H Inter -provincial
exchange with Novi Scotia.
Linda is the eldest daughter
d Reeve and Mrs. Tom
Cunningham R.R. 1 Auburn.
I travelled from home to
Toronto by car on July 6th,
just in time for the luncheon.
After this we travelled by
subway to the Royal Bank
Rau, where we were given a
tour of the building. The tour
finished we all settled down
in a Conference room where
we were all given the last
detail of our exchange trip.
(Each person participating in
this exchange was from an
agricuhural or homemaking
dub and each were from a
different County. There were
nine delegates from Ontario
and each would be travelling
to a different province in
Canada. We were then es•
ourted to the fortieth floor.
Words cannot express the
beauty and the elegance of
the decor of this executive
floor. We had a full circle
tour induding hoard room,
reception room, executive
lounge and nine unique
dining -rooms each decorated
in their own breathtaking
fashion.
After being received royal-
ty by bank and 4-H Officials,
we were served hoe d'oeuves

with our airline tickets after
our delicious meal. To finish
off the evening we were all
taken to see "My Fair
The next morning's activit-
ies were very lively since we
had to be at the airport by

landed in Halifax. At the
airport I was met by one of
the 4-H summer assistants.
She drove me from the
airport to Halifax and to the
Citadel which was the hotel
all of us were staying at.
After unpacking some of
our belongings, the delegat-

went for a quick dip in the
pool. That night we were
given some more information
an our exchange.
The next day, July 8th, we
took a boat tour of the

at the City Hall.
After a lengthy travel we
finally reached the Host
Family's house where i
would be staying. I stayed at
the Pick's near Windsor,
Nova Scotia until Tuesday
July 14th. While 1 was at the
Pick's we travelled to Peg-
gy's Cove, the Nova Scotia -
New Brunswick border,
and the Annapolis Valley.
Mr. and Mrs. Pick are both
school teachers, they own a
small hobby farm.
Although I did not wish to
leave the Pick's 1 was still
anxious to meet my next host
family. The Nicholson's live
it Cape Breton on the Bas
d'or Lakes. They were also a
very friendly family. Mr.
Nicholson works in a Nuclear
Generating Plant similar to
the Bruce Generating Plant.
With the Nicholsons, !travel-
led to Louisburg, Sidney and
along the Cabot Trail.
On July 19th all of the
interprovincial exhcange de-
legates and all of the Nova
Scotia delegates that were
participating on a Manitoba
exchange met in Truro for a
pork barbecue. A tour of the
Truro Agricultural College
and a sing -song followed
then a good night's sleep for
all.
The morning seemed to
come fairly quick because I
had to catch an early plane
for Toronto. l stopped at a
nearby shop for three lob-
sters to take home to my
family, and before long was
on the plane returning home.
I was glad to be going home,
but 1 did not like leaving my
DM friends behind.
All in all, my trip was an
excellent, exciting learning
experience and a holiday.

Jane Muegge,
Home Economist
Is your extension
cord a "10"?
Extension cords are not all
the same. Most farmers have
a few extension cords of
various lengths and possibly
different gauges of wire.
There are some interesting
facts about these wires that
you should know. When elec-
tricity runs through a long
wire, you get "voltage drop."
This is caused by the resi•
stance of the wire. If the drop
is too great, you may have
problems at the end of the
line. Starting of motors may
be difficult and full load
running current may be
greatly increased. This leads
to overheating of both motor
and wires. Circuit breakers
will continuously trip. The
plugs on Tight duty extension
cords can heat up to the point
that they will melt or burn,
It is not hard to find the
right wire size oi' your exten-
sion cord. You must know the
electrical load of the motor at
the end of the cord. You must
also know the length of cord.
Then use this simple formula:
size of wire (in circular mils)
= 6.1 x length or run (in feet)
x full load amps at 120 volts.
For example a quarter
horsepower motor with load
of 5.8 amps on the end of a
100 ft. cord would need a wire
sizeof6.1 x5.8x 100= 3538
circular mils. The size of wire
should be A.W.G. No, 14.
However, if two motors are
running continuously instead
of one, the wire size would
have to be No, 10.
Take the time to make the
calculation. it could prevent a
tragedy,

Tommorrow Box will surprise
131 GREGOR CAMPBELL
A tommorrow box is a
package sold at auctions. You
buy it not knowing what
knick-knacks or small trea-
sures might be inside. The
five characters in the play of
the same name at Blyth
Summer Festival '81 might
also surprise you. With the
way they change.
The Tomorrow Box will
most definitely make you
chuckle. and perhaps make
you think.

farm. He would like a hot
diner when he geu in from
the fields. But he loves his
wife Alice. She hasn't the

beautiful and busy studying.
on the verge of becoming a
lawyer.
Lisa Graham is a big -city
lawyer and Alice's sister. She
helps the hornet's nest hap-
pen to the Cooper clan when
she comes to visit, with
visions of women's liberation
dancing in her head. Lisa
learns that laws may be the
same everywhere but people
are different.
It's a lively thix of witty
characters. easy to identify
with, sketched with pep bran
experienced cast. If there is a
moral to the tale, the produc-
tion doesn't hit you over the
head with it.
