Blyth will get a new bank building. The village, while assuming survey and legal fees for the transaction will also benefit by 512,000. After some closed meetings with council throughout the summer bank representatives released information Monday evening concerning the new banking facility scheduled For con- struction early in 1982. The new bank will be located across the street and north of its present location on Queen Street. The preliminary site plan indicates the building will be next to Gore's Home Hardware with parking and a green belt. The old bank building will be torn down and the site made into a parking area next to Memorial Hall. Councillors say the village will not lose any valuable parking space with the bank relocating across the street in what is now the village parking area. Now that it is over BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE Most people agree the six-week pestal strike was an inconvenience, but there were some businesses in Huron and Perth Counties that were affected more strongly At Agri -Book Publishing Co. Ltd., of Exeter, while business was not affected directly, editor Peter Darbishire said the company lost its goodwill with both readers and advertisers. The company, publishes 35 magazines a year, 20 being their own publications. The editor uid if the strike had gone on for another two weeks, it would have had more effect on the company. The editor said there are 130,000 individual recipients of the company's publications, causing the company to rely heavily on the mail sery ice. One magazine has its readers in Western Canada. Serious consideration, Mr. Darbishire said, would be given to some other form of getting the magazines to the readers. The editor said he sent a letter to the Postmaster General Andre Oullette and Huron Bruce MP Murray Cardiff and Huron Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell in regard: to the remark made that small businesses should not rely on the postal service. Brenda Donner, publicity director for the Blyth Summer Festivaltsaid the Festival did The bank has been established in Blyth for more than 80 years under the former Bank of Hamilton, with which the Commerce merged in 1923. Bank officials say the decisions for a new branch premises reflects the expansion of agricultural and consumer services of the bank in this part of Huron County. " I ht project will cost the Bank more than a quarter of a million dollars and reflects the Bank's nn -going commitment to the south-west region of Ontario in general and Huron County in particular." says W.F. (Bill) Spence, the bank's vice president and Regional General Manager for Ontario South-West. An architect has been appointed and drawings are expected in the next two months. Council has not determined how the 512,000 it receives should be used. It was suggested that it pave parking areas in the village. Postal strike effects not notice any difference in ticket sales, noting that audiences were up this year. She said there were more tickets purchased over the phone and reserved by credit card. Ms. Donner added that there was more strain on the bus office prior to the performance with many more people picking their tickets up at that time. She said from the publicity end, there was less on the national scale. Normally, Ms. Donner said she mails out 200.300 press releases and other mail per week and it was either dropped or delivered in person. McGavin Farm Equipment ofWalton didn't notice any big differences. Neil McGavin said the period of time in which the strike was on is nornally a slow period for the company. He commented that the company collected cheques in person and the money was in his hand a lot quicker. "1 can't say we suffered too bad," said Mr. McGavin. He said being in a smaller community helped as some of the mail got around. Mr McGavin said he didn't know whether advertising in a newspaper was helpful during the strike as many, people didn't receive their newspaper. Newspapers did feel an effect from the strike. One newspaper in Huron CcuntN''' reported that a subscriber had bundled all his papers back and marked that they were Three fires in one week in Blyth One week later the remains of a large barn a mile and a quarter north of Blyth on Highway 4 were still smoldering. The fire last Tuesday evening blazed for nine hours before Blyth firemen could leave the scene, Hendrik Smid is still able to milk his cows, thanks to the fire department being able to save the new shed located behind the main barn and the salvaging of the milking equipment, silos, and gra nary. According to fire chief Irvine Bowes the cause is still undetermined and he estimates that 100 tons of hay and straw were lost, The call came in at 3:15 Tuesday afternoon and Blyth was assisted by Clinton and Wingham water tankers for three and six hours respectively. Two firemen needed medical attention. Larry Bolger required stitches for a cut and another firemen cut his hand and went back to the fire. Chief Bowes did not know the man's identity. The fire . was contained in the upper half of the barn. Chief Bowes noted that if they had not had to have a bulldozer spread the hay and straw they might have been able to save the stable portion of the barn. Police were on hand to control traffic along the highway and clear the way for water tankers coming from the village. At one point smoke from the barn rolled across the highway making visibilty nearly impossible. The Smids have only been residents in the area for a little over one year and were uncertain about their future plans. Blyth also answered a fire call a little over one hour before the Smid call. A combine was on fire owned by John Phelan. A rod went out the side of the block and damaged the fuel system which in turn started the fire. The fire department was able to save the machine but not the engine portion. The combine was fairly old and the owner has not decided about repairing it yet. Blyth fire department also assisted at a fire near Wroxeter 4 a.m. Sunday morning. A barn owned by Keith Small was destroyed as well as 80 sows and 300 tat hogs. Chief Bowes said there was a Id ci lightning up that way that night which could have started the fire. too I ate. The newspaper had to pay the postage anyway. One newspaper company, Wenger Bros. Ltd. of Listowel operated a free courier service between Listowel, Wingham and Mount Forest during the strike. Fred Looker of Tyzl Limited of Goderich, a company that sends technical books lo those involved in electronics and to weavers and spinners say he sent a telex to Mr. Oullette, "It stopped our business cold," said Mr. Looker. Mr. Looker said the strike prevented his company from doing two mailings. He said mailing has been done since the strike. He notes that normally his company would gross about 512,000 to 515,000 from three mailings, but with the one mailing he said the company may gross $1,500. Mr. Looker said while in actual fact the strike was only 42 days, Tyzl's mail was delayed almost 10 weeks and he'll have to wait another week for any returns. He commented that he still ha tl a same overhead to pay. SMOKE PROBLEMS — The smoke from the fire at Hendrik Smid's farm last Tuesday evening posed some problems for traffic along highway number 4 one and a quarter miles north of Blyth. The barn was destroyed but firemen were able to save the new shed behind the barn as well as the silos and granary.

It takes a lot of talent to keep the lines paced so that the crowd can enjoy a good belly laugh before hitting them with the next one liner. The revival of He Won't Come In From the Barn is the crowning touch to an excel- lent season and is being held over to accommodate the demand until September 12. The first item that takes your attention from the pro- gram is the set. For many of us who have rambled through the barns of our parents or have one today it is a delight to see that barn on the stage. Even the details are not neglected and Bob Pearson has not spared any effort on this one. Besides the tearful looks from Comet and Alice. the bovine actresses, it was the pile of twine on the post that tickled me. We have the same mess in our barn and I have seen quite a few barns with the same way of hand- ling baler twine. Of course the acting was superb. I think of all the characters, Janet Amos, play. ing the part of Rose. the wife. was my favourite. Farm wives are a strong lot who manage to get through the worst crises without the hassle you mirth' expect from others. Rose faces the problem of her husband staying in the barn for more than a year with resourcefulness. She takes a trip to Ireland to find their "roots." Rose appears to revel in all the media hype later in the play over her husband Aylmer's stubborn refusal to come in from the barn. Ted Johns upholds his inimitable style with quick thrusts at the pasties, educa- tion and government bureau• cracy. Ted, who wrote the script that was a collective creation by Theatre Passe Muraille, has covered all the bases. He carefully introduc- es the problems facing farm• ers today from high interest rates and costs of machinery to having the son take over the family farm. And the other characters are not to be outdone either. Alan Bridle plays the part of the government vet. He pulls the part off with the same superior air that we have come to expect from "intel- lectuals" who need to edu• From Me to You By Rhea Hamilton Cate anyone who hasn (peril 20 out of 21 years in an educational institution. William Dunlop, better known to many of us as Billy, has three pans and I know that one character had me guessing as to who was playing the part. Thomas Hauff, a familiar face in Blyth last summer, made an appearance in the latter part of the play as the nephew who wants to see the matter of Aylmer in the barn brought to an end. Keith Thomas is the hard working and ambitious farmer -son who manages the farm as well as organizing what free time he has for golfing and leisure activities that farmers have so little time for. The production hangs toge ther well and the audience was not allowed time It ponder hard seats or the lack of an intermission. The Barn Show is a definite must for everyone to see. Remember it is held over until September 12, so phone ahead and get your tickets. Janet Amos and Ted Johns SENIORS... ONTARIO PROPFJ TAX GRAN 1 APPLICATIONS.

"At least he's doing something" is an oft•heard response, even from ntans who would not normally support a politician Iikc ,Reagan. This kind of desperation is nothing new in Br sin, of course, where the British have spent the last two decades being ping-ponged from the simplistic solutions of the socialists of the Labour Party on (he left, to the Conservatives on the right. In feudal days the lords had complete power over their subjects, both through physical force and an educational standpoint. The lords weren't too smart or educated themselves, but still had advantages over their peasants. They could play with the lives of their people like puppets on a string because the world was too big for the peasants to understand. Complicated things were made easy first through superstition and later religion. There can be little disagreement the powerful of the times used religion to help them stay in power. Your reward is in heaven, the peasants were told by their priests. While the rewards for the lords, and often the clergy, were in this world earned on the backs of the peasants. So today we see greater and greater numbers of people seeking solace from our complicated world in simplistic religions, where everything is in black and white, where you follow a leader without question. No matter if he even tells you to kill yourself as in the Jonestown massacre. In olden days whenever things got touchy in his duchy the lord might find a convenient way to get his people united behind him. So today we have Mr. Reagan provoking an incident with some little country halfway around the world so he can show off the power sof his country and give people a taste of victors after a decade of defeat. Closer to home we have Nova Scotia Premier John Buchanan, in power only three years and with a large majority. saddling up to f ight another election battle against those dastardly feds who would steal everything of value in his province if the opposition panics ever got into power. If it wasn't war or religion keeping peasants' minds off their troubles it was bread and circuses. Be prepared then for another round of escapism in movies, television and books for the next few years. if we can't find solution to our problems we had best forget them. There will be plenty of people ready to help us. All of which, of course, doesn't help democracy. What happens when simple solutions won't work' Why we turn to someone else with more simple solutions of cout se. We could go on like this forever.

But nothing else was much good, nationally and personal ly..� Now, I'm not going to sav one word about the postal strike. if 1 started to write about it. the paper I'm writing on would go up in flames. 111 just take a positive attitude and observe that because of the strike, I didn't have to write a column for six weeks, A mice holiday for me, and probably a welcome relief for those who feel forced to read my meanderings every week. Nor will I fly into 1 rage because our members of parliament, just before sneaking off for a long holidiy in the middle of about 18 crises, voted themselves a whacking great increase in salary, pensions and all the gravy that accompanies them. It 's a tough job and they deserve every 40 or 50 thousand dollars that go with it. Again, i don't feel incensed that the Prime Minister should go off to Africa for a holiday while the country is being engulfed in unemployment, inflation, separatism, and science -fiction interest rates. He probably enjoyed listening to some gentle Swahili after months of putting up with the bellowing and ranting of the various opposition parties. I'm sure he came home rested, refreshed, and just as determined as ever to talk about North-South relationships rather than last• West ones. Perhaps I should be furious about the way in which Canadians completely ignore the energy crisis. I'm not. Must admit I was a bit perplexed when I was forced to take to the highways one day and saw literally thousands of cars belting along, just over the speed limit, rushing from one hot place to another. And when I trundle down to the dock. Hook at all those big cruisers, nuttled cheek to cheek, and can't help wondering that their owners are going to do wtih them about five years from now, when they can't even heal their own homes. Visiting friends at a cottage on a big lake up north, I saw dozens of teenagers whirring around in motor boats, going absolutely nowhere, just joyriding. However, all this hedonism doesn't bother me deeply. There's a certain feeling that permeates our soctet , even though it's seldom expressed by hose Indulging in it. It's quite a bit like the decline of the Roman Empire. People are saying, unconsciously, "To hell with it. Can't cope with inflation so might u well go deeper into debt. The buck is worth 40 cents. The vandals are coming. Bet's live it up before It 'a Iris lair " It was a feeling that a great many people had during World War II. No use worrying about 1►►rn0rr014 because their might not br one. It's a sort of i'atalism that is fatal to the human rpirN, which demands constant striving, enduring and ;offering in order lo make things better. Those latter atltlbutrs are going out of style fairly rapidly. Historians tell us we study history so that we won't make the mistakes man rnade in the past.

Rooster or rumblings? At the preview showing of He Won't Come In From The Barn now playing at the Blyth Summer Festival, one d the cast, Mr. Rooster, cut up di -dos. Puffed out with pride by his fico stage appearance, in no way was he going to take a bad seat to any actor or actress whether he came from Toe - onto or Vancouver or whe- ther his take home pay was one thousand or two. He knew he could upstage every one d them by crowing without ceasing; so he did just that with the result that he got the axe • he was relegated to the wings and then to the place from which he came. Hearing that no farther than four blocks from the theatre there livid a fowl specialist by the name of Henry Pattison, the star of the show who can't stay away from the barn wasted nod me in getting to Henry's ban and explaining to Henry the sbow's predicament. For two production no rooster for cows, pigs and audience to look at. Henry, knowledgeable about the whims of roosters, knew exactly what wu required. He straightway sel- ected tram his flock a hand- -cane grey and white barred rock with a coat that would take on magnificent dimen- sions under the stage lights. and for a lady companion, a beautiful silver spangled black and white Hamburg bird. The rooster problem has apparently vanished. The couple have been given top rating by those viewing the last three performances. In- deed, they have been given weekend privileges allowing them to enjoy the privacy and quiet of their own place. it just might happen that Henry Pattisoa's offering to the theatre may give the rest d the cast, including the cows and pigs, a run for their may. THE BLYTH STANDARD. SEPTEMBER 2, 1981 — A5 N. Alexander wins US award A retired Londesboro farmer has received the Soil Conservation Society of America's Honor Award for 1981. President Roben C. Baum of Salem. Oregon presented the award to Norm Alexander at a banquet concluding the Society's 36th annual meeting in Spokane, Washington earlier last month. The Society is a private. non•proftt, scientific and educational organization which aims to advance the science and an of good land use. It has about 14,000 members in the United States, Canada and about 80 foreign countries. The Honour Award is given for significant contributions in the field of natural resource conservation. Mr. Alexander was cited fur his dcdica• tion to promoting soil and water conserva- tion practices by designing and construct• ing a practical working model of solutions to the many soil erosion problems that occur on improperly designed and constructed municipal drains. He is called on regularly to demonstrate his model and participate in seminars and meetings about conservation, for example, he has accompanied his display to the last three provincial plough ing matches at his own expense. Mr. Alexander, who is self.taught, got the idea for his model on a trip to Maryland. There is a five-minute tape that goes with it, and the exhibit has been shown on about 40 licca signs. It was first shown at a county ploughing match just north of Seaforth in McKillop Township. He's taking it ti• Milton this weekend "Our future is so dependent on how we use our resources now," says Mr. Alexan• der He cites for example Carthage, which went from the granary of the Roman Empire to a desert in a mere 150 years because its water resources were not used properly Despite Canada's wealth of natural re• sources the same plight may await us. he sans. He feels it would be a good idea and cheaper for policy makers to concentrate on prevention. rather than picking up the pieces after the damage has been dune Mr, Alexander has been a member of the Ontario C'Laptet of the Soil Conservation Society of America since 1974, the same year he began serving as Drainage Commissioner for Huron Countv's Nutlet Township. He was also appointed Hullet's representative on the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority in 1974. He served on the Authority's reforestation and land use advisory board his first three years. and has been a member of its water manage- ment advisory board for the past three vears. Mr. Alexander farmed for .10 years before his retirement The Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association recognized his personal efforts in the fields of arainagc and soil erosion hs dedicating a conser%anon award in his name. The Norman Alexander Conservation Award was presented for the first time last November. Walkers open hardware iere It has been a very hectic summer and Phil Walker is about to see the fruits of his labour this week when he announces hi,. grand opening of the Blyth Pro Hardy' ,1rr• Store here in Blyth. Since July 6 when the doors were first opened to the public after being closed for four months shelves have been arranged and stock reorganized and shifted about for more convenient shopping. Phil, who is new to the area. has been giving careful thought to the layout of the merchandise to make it more convenient to his customers. The grand opening specials and gifts start this Thursday until Saturday. Phil is from Dorchester and is looking forward to moving his family to Blyth as soon as matters are settled there. After a two year search for the store best suited to him and his family the Walkers finally decided on Blyth u the ideal location. Raised on a small farm complete with a market garden, Phil has a soft spot for the agricultural community. Although he also enjoys theatre, he has been too busy to attend any of the productions here at the Blyth Summer Festival. Phil has worked part-time in a hardware store before and is looking forward to trying his hand at his own operation. His wife Net farm income down Statistics Canada says the 1980 net income to farming operation was S3.04 billion, a decline of $572 million or 15.8 percent from 1979 levels. The main factors contributing to the lower net income include record high operating ex- penses, lower livestock prices, reduced yields and drawdown of inventory as producers attempted to main• tain cash flow. Gladys and son Sean have been to Blvth throughout the summer and are both lo'kino forward to their move to Birth. Arias in community events. Phil has already become acquainted with the Blvth Board of Trade and has had his Legion membership transferral t. Blyth. While in Dorchester ht....as a member „i the Optimists and active in his son's organizations which include cu hs, hockes and baseball. Gladys is presently working at a hank in Dorchester and may he a familiar face in the hardware store in time to cone. Phil has been keeping a low profile in the business until he has the store more organized to his liking he said. And the end is in sight. The grand opening will be the crowning touch of weeks of long hours and time consuming re -organizing. Being part of the rural community Phil is planning longer store hours For customer convenience. But that will be announced later. Julie Shobbrook and Kim Trost have been working on the store to help get ready for the opening. Julie will be returning to college this fall. Phil is looking forward to meeting his new customers and settling into life here in Blyth.

It is true that we can get too much of the wrong kind of religion but we can never get enough of the right kind.. Religion has different as- pects to it and , depending on which aspect you mean, we can determine whether you are getting the right or wrong kind of religion. Religion, in the Christian sense, is more than ritual. Ritual might be thought of as the customs or practices of religion. Some of the more common practices are attend- ing Church and Sunday School, reading the Bible and prayer, being baptized and joining the Church. All these practices have real signifi- cance but if we go through them simply as routine and what is expected of us, then they are meaningless and lacking in value. Religion, according to our Christian convictions, is also more than rules or regula- tions. In our Christian faith we have the Ten Command- ments and other Command- ments. The Commandments are necessary and serve a purpose but if our whole concern is living by certain laws and regulations, then it makes religion very legalistic and impersonal. Religion, in the true sense of our Christian conception, is a matter of relationships. The greatest commandment of our faith is to love God with all our heart, soul , mind and strength, and our neighbour as ourself. The idea of rela- tionships is infinite. God himself is infinite. Human personality is Lull of mystery. A life of genuine relation- ships gives a deep and abiding sense of belonging, worth and freedom. The way of such relation- ships is through Jesus Christ who came to reconcile us to God and one another by his sacrificial dear: and the gift of his Spirit. Religion as realtionships based on love through Jesus Christ is encu Tess and you can never gel low much. no Frills Foods! NO HIGH PRICES Frdls Frozen Utility Grade Turkeys Smoked Loin 10-12 Ib.

THE BLYTH STANDARD. SEPTEMBER 2. 1981 -- All, Resale value of their houses worries urea foam users m ElEPHAPtI E LEYESQUE In a show of hands, approximately 200 people voted Robert Ostler u the chairman o( the Perth County f i... . ers with Urea For- maldehyde Foam Insulation organization (HUFFU. Frons St. Marys, Mr. Ost- ler has been the driving force m initiating a Perth County group. Mr. Ostler was elect- ed at a meeting attended by persons from across the county and some from Huron County. Other executive elected include Robert Turnbull u vice-chairman, Phil Brown u treasurer and Jean Paul u secretary. All are from Strat- ford. The local men organizing the meeting brought in an impressive array of speakers. Bill Bremner of Downsview is a director with the previa - dal organization of HUFFI. Harold B. Stevens, a cheml- a►I analyst for HUFFI and Ace Wilcey of Kitchener HUFFI were also present. Advocating that the home- ' owner who hu to remove UFFI from their home should not have to pay for the expense, Mr. Bremner des. gibed HUFF! u a pressure 1lUP• Mr. Bremner said he did• n't like the "alarmist" state• meat made by the National Research Council that whe- ther or not a home was tested today, a week from today or • year from now, somewhere along the line there will be s problem with the foam. No homes in rerth 'County to date have been tested for gas emissions. Statments like that, Mr. Bremner said, just reduce the property value. Mr. Turnbull later said that the group could talk all night about the medical probkms, but the main issue is houses can't be sold.. "There is a stigma attach- ed to the house," said Mr. Turnbull. Mr. Bremner warned against tearing a house apart to remove the foam, because if it is not done properly, traces of the foam would remain. Besides the health iuue, which affects some and not others, Mr. Bremner laid wood can rot from the fbam,mortar can crumble and electrical wiring can be damaged. Emphasizing the need for action, Mr. Ostler said he was "sold down the river" by a government he trusted. "I'm angry... .this is a serious situation," said Mr. Ostler. He said the sooner the issue is put to the govern. went the better it would be. To his words, "we need action" the crowd in atten- dance applauded. There was applause throughout the evening, when speakers gave their thoughts on what to do, but groans were emitted from the audience u they learned what they are up against. Following the meeting, during which many horror stores were told about indi- vidual situations with the foam, many in attendance swarmed around the treasur- Ask for government help Perth en's tabk offering a donation of at least SS. Mr. Turnbull explained the money would be used for phone calls, sending letters and other costs incurred. He stated a financial report would be presented at a future meeting. There were a number of items requiring the signatur. es of those supporting HUF. HUFFI. First, a petition used by the Toronto group was owners organize Residents of Perth County had the opportunity to register as members of the Perth County Homeowners with Urea Form- aldehyde Foam Insulation organization Mon• day. Robert Ostler of St. Mans started the meetings. after discovering his house was insulated with the urea formaldehyde foam insultation (UFFI) What started as a meeting for citizens in St. Marys snowballed into a county -wide concern. "1 felt the people of St. Marys weren't aware of the trouble (with the foam)," said Mr. Ostler, Mr. Ostler attended meetings in London where Health and Welfare Canada presented advisory information on UFFI. Mr. Ostler called these findings "hideous". The federal government placed a perman- ent ban on UFFI this spring. Mr. Ostler said the homeowner organiza• tions (HUFFI) sprouting up across Canada aren't meant to get anybody. They would like to see the federal government provide financial assistance for removing the banned foam from Canadian homes. A conservative figure of homes affected in Canada is 100,000, according to Mr. Ostler. He said the government already provides financial aid for those affected by national disasters such as flooding. "This is a quiet. insidious thing." Mr. Ostler said of the UFFI. He couldn't say what the effects of the UFFI are, but said there have been reports of respiratory problems and nausea. "It's a non -staple product," said Mr. Ostler. Another problem is the resale value of the houses affected. Mr. Ostler said he has heard a real estate board around London wouldn't list houses insulated with the urea formalde- hyde foam. "We (HUFFI) have lost the ability of turning our assets (house) into cash," said Mr. Ostler. Mr. Ostler said the history of the problem product began in the United States ano Europe during the mid -fifties. It was first used in Canada in 1969, after being approved by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). In 1970, CMHC found UFFI unacceptable because it shrank. But in 197', the CMHC re -accepted UFFI as a safe product. The problem of shrinkage was apparently solved. Also in 1977, the Canadian Home Improve- ment Program (CHIP) approved urea formaldehyde foam. In 1978, Dr. R. Viau Consumer and Corporate Affairs chemical director, warned against its use. In 1979, testing with rats showed a Zink to cancer with a low emission of gas from UFFI. An acceptable level is .05 parts per million. Some homes have a level of 6'2.6 parts per million. In November of 19-9, the television program Marketplace raised concerns on UFFI. In the same month. the state of Massachusetts banned the sale of UFFI and ordered it removed from public buildings. During 1980, many developments took place. Saskatchewan investigated the prob- lem, the United States issued warnings on the product, and Health and Welfare Canada set up a special committee. In November. the U.S. Consumer Products Corporation reported cancer links were a threat to human. On Dec. 17 Health and Welfare Canada put a temporary ban on UFFI. On April 23 of this year, following a final report from the committee set up by Health and Welfare Canada. UFFI is permanently banned in Canada. Mr. Ostler aid HUFFI believes health tests should be conducted in all homes with UFFI. He also says proper equipment should be used. In answer to a question, Mr. Ostler said not all foam insulation is urea formaldehyde foam insulation. He said he has not heard anthing from companies that install insulation. Mr. Ostler said HUFFI is going through the proper channels to solve the problem. He added "squeaking wheels" get oiled faster than a wheel that makes no noise. "I'm optimistic," said Mr. Ostler. signed which will in turn be presented to the govern. meat. The Perth group com- piled a list of signatures which will be used as • members' list. At the beginning of the meeting, it was mentioned that both MP Bill Jarvis and MPP Hugh Edighoffer are supporting the organization. Both men have provided the group with literature, both men had prior commitments and could not attend.

At their August board meeting the Ontario Federation of Agri- culture (OFA) decided to set up an Emergency Task Force to look at the problems. The Task Force will look at high interest rates, low com- modity prices. and the future of agriculture. Its recommen- dations will be reported to the OFA Convention in Nov- ember. It will be made up of prominent farm leaders. as well as consumer and bank representatives. They will hold hearings for several days in a number of centres across Ontario. Farm groups, marketing boards, and con- cerned farmers will be invit- ed to speak at the hearings. OFA President, Ralph Bar- rie, said farmers can't go on, "lurching from one crisis to another." The Task Force will be part of a needed 'search for stability." The OFA board also decid- ed to push the government to help farmers on the brink of financial disaster. Earlier this years. proven• cal agriculture minister. Lorne Henderson, followed OFA's suggestion and form- ed a Financial Review Com- mittee to help desperate farmers.

Other provinces provide similar programs. OFA wants the federal government to make Small Business Development Bonds readily and quickly available, and to provide the Farm Credit Corporation with more money at lower rates. The directors also looked at municipal tares. A decade ago, OFA lobbying led to the present provincial to rebate program which saves farm• ers from being gouged.

An Auburn girl took part in the Huron Country Playhouse at Grand Bend last week. 11 was the opening night of the production of The Music Man". It was a rousing joyous musical with huckster Harold Hill the artist who made the final error of falling in love with Marian the River City librarian. The Music Man marches, barbershopstcroons and a 'm- pahs his way into everybody's heart as he turns over a new leaf. One of the highlights was when eight members of the Hullett Central School Band marched onto the stage, smartly attired in their red and white uniforms. Mem- bers included Jan Anderson, trombone, Lyn Dougherty. trombone, Lisa Duller, saxa- phone, Stephen Duizer, tuba, Darlene Hulley, clarinet, Jeff McNairn, french horn, Jenni- fer Sottiaux, flute, and Ang- ela Schneider, trumpet.

The bride is a 1980 graduate of the Registered Nursing Assistants Training Centre, Wingham. Corn insects I have had several calls in the past week concerning insect damage to the ears of grain corn. These insects arc the corn rootworm beetles - both Northern (green) and Western (yellow with 3 blacks stripes on back) • and the sap or pknic beetle (black with four white or yellow spots on back). The corn rootworm beetles are feeding on the silks of the cob. If they nip the silk off before pollination, partially barren ears may result. Most corn is pollinated before pea k adult emerg- ence so ear damage is mini- mal. The sap beetle will feed on several fruits or veget- ables, but prefers rotting or injured plant material. So, sap beetle feeding on corn is often an indication of prev- ious injury, such as bird damage, feeding by the corn borer or corn earworm, or perhaps even silk feeding by the rootworm beetle. Little damage results from sap beetle feeding. They leave us the best kernels, preferring to finish off damaged kernels and small ear tip kernels. It is almost impossible to control the sap beetle. Raspberry growers spraying with mala- thion within one day of harvest get ::.reliable con - trot. Sweet corn producers manage to keep numbers down through control of corn euworms and corn borers who cause the initial inviting damage. No control is econ- omical or practical on field corn. Sap beetles are protect- ed from spray inside the husks, and cousins can fly in from next door as easily as rootworm beetles. Best con- trol for these insects is a frost. And I am not going on record as calling for an early frost, just to rid the fields of these freeloaders.
