While each organization makes a definite contribution to the young people in a community, at the same time there seems a limit to the number who are prepared to give their time to help in the work. The result is that a few dedicated and willing workers are called on to carry an ever-increasing load. The Cloverdale, B.C., Surrey Lead- er lays the blame on selfish parents, who take advantage of the few workers and in effect use them as baby sitters. This applies most' noticeably to re- creation and youth clubs, the Leader says. Coaches, managers, instructors and club officials are willing to give 'hours of their own leisure time, each week, to this type of work. We are for- tunate to have dozens of people who do provide a tremendous amount of volun- teer work for young people of our com- munities. But they resent being "baby sitters". There is small encouragement if par - IN .THE YEARS AGONE Interesting items gleaned from The Expositor of 25, 50 and 75 years ago. From The Huron Expositor - September 24, 1937 ' We were pleased to see our former teacher, Mr. Gordon Rennie, Winthrop, who has* been engaged as ,principal of Sundridge school. Mrs. William Manley, of Man- ley, is laid up with a sore foot. Unfortunatelyshe had the mis- fortune of stepping on a nail. This being an extensive build- ing year in Hensall, with both farmers and others, the Hensall planing mill reports a very busy season. Hensall school was closed be- cause of infantile paralysis, which has developed, in the vil- lage. The cheque for the one mill Government subsidy, amounting to $951.45, was received . by Town Clerk. D. H: Wilson on Monday. St. Columban football fans are celebrating the victories of their smart soccer club, cham- pions of the Huron County Foot- ball League, and conquerors of the mighty Walton gang. * * * ents of the boys and girls do not show, by their presence at meetings, that they appreciate this work, and are willing to do some small part in it themselves. In Surrey and White Rock, the paper points out, ten times as many clubs and groups are starved to death by lack of support from parents than are killed by lack of money or facilities. There is no use trying to reach those parents who don't care what their chil- dren are doing. They'd sooner sit home watching TV or go to the beer parlor, and the youngsters can range the streets. The greatest majority of parents, however, are truly interested in their youngsters. Perhaps they just haven't thought about the moral obligation they assume when they send their youngster to join a ball team, a Scout group, 4-H club or young people's organization at their church. "You'll never teach children •citizen- ship unless you practice citizenship yourself. And the place closest to hand to work at being a good citizen is in those organizations to which your youngsters belong," The 'Leader con- cludes. Don't ever let them talk you into making a speech, old riend. Especially if you have nothing to say. It happened to me, •and pretty well destroyed he entire month of September. f • t From The Huron Expositor September 27, 1912 The Bell Telephone Co. have been painting their poles in town which makes them a good deal less unsightly. Mayor Greig, Reeve Ament and' Commissioners Kerslake and Daly motored to Goderich on Monday to attend a, meet- ing of the Hydro -Electric Co - mission in reference • the granting of power from the Maitland River for Goderich and the municipalities in that dis- trict. The following young ladies Ieft here on Monday to attend Normal School at Stratford: Misses Anna Bell, Ella Chesney, Jessie Scott, Margaret Williams, Mary Curtin, Eva Love, Ethel Kerr, Nellie Govenlock and Ada Gardiner: Mr. G. T. Turnbull is busy packing and shipping apples to the Old Country. Mr.• G. P. Schofield, general manager of the Standard Bank of Toronto and who was the first agent of the bank at Brus- sels, has been made a director of the bank. From The Huron Expositor Sep4 ember 30, 1887 I've been avoiding speech- making for years. My distaste for listening to speeches is on- ly -exceeded by my panic at the thought of having to de- liver one. The whole business of speeches has grown into a monster, an insatiable fiend. * * * The Guest Speaker has be- come one of the more .flagrant. symbols of the sickness of our Canadian society., You can't get four peolile to sit down in the same room any more, without one of them suggesting that you have a guest speaker at your next 'meeting. All across this once -carefree country, the blight has spread. A new species, called the Pro- gram Committee Chairman, has surged to the front in every organization. He is more impor- tant than the president. He is the bird who . scrapes guest speakers from the bottom of barrels and other native habi- tat. Mr. W. J. Clarke, who for the past six months has been act- ing as assistant to Rev. A, D. McDonald in the Presbyterian Church, preached his farewell sermon on Sunday evening. Mr. Robert-Govenlock, of Mc - took first prize for peaches, and eight prizes for grapes, at the Western Fair at London last weeek.

SUGAR acid SPICB By Bill Smiley * .* * He is one of • those persons engaged in the greatest man- hunt of the 20th century—try- ing to find a guest speaker, any qld guest speaker.' There is an excellent chance that he will wind up with an ulcer. The competition is more• frantie than it is among the super- markets. There is a fair probability that our Program Chairman will suffer a complete nervous break- down within a few months after he has taken the position. This is usually a direct result of: (a) the guest ' speaker coming down with the 'flu the night of the banquet; or (b) the guest speaker getting a little oiled at the pre -dinner reception, and including a couple of off-color jokes in his speech; or (c) the guest speaker turning out to be a real clod, who has nothing whatever to say, and says it at great length. A MACUUFF OTTAWA REPORT REAP THE WHIRLWIND OTTAWA—Having thundered and roared against British en- try into the Europeali Common Market at a Commonwealth, ec- onomic conference in Accra just over a year ago, the Cana- dian Government soon found cause to remember the old bib- lical injunction that they who sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind. The reaction of public opin- ion in Canada was swift and severe, so swift and severe that the Government quickly retreat- ed into the sanctuary of silence after many protestations of con- fidence the British' ministry would honor its pledge to safe- guard the vital interests of the Commonwealth in whatever it did. Considering the consequences of its previous intemperance, there was understandably every expectation that Prime Minister John Diefenbaker would walk very softly when he arrived in London earlier this month to attend meetings of the Common- wealth leaders. Instead, he con- founded the expectation of his fellow cabinet ministers, Gov- ernment officials and observers alike by touching off a storm within the hour of setting foot on English soil. Already the fear is growing among senior members of his party that having once more sown the wind, the Prime Min- ister will again reap the whirl- wind—and at a time when his already shaky Government is in "danger of toppling at almost any hour. The puzzling and- perplexing question to which there is still no answer ; is why Mr. Diefen- baker' at the • eleventh hour made a personal decision to change the whole basis of ap- proach agreed, to by the Gov- ernment as a whole before he left for London. He had picked his day. It was the last day of school, I'd had a couple of belts to celebrate, and September seemed s i x months away. "Shore. Shore, glad to." * * * I went back out to the gar- den; picked up my empty glass and enquired, "Hey, Suse, What do you know about this Cana- dian Club?" She said, "You know perfect- ly well we can't afford any of that. It's about five dollars a bottle." • This was getting us nowhere. I then learned that the Cana- dian Club was an outfit in town that imports , distinguished speakers. This made me feel like a hot -shot for about three minutes, then threw me out in- to a blind panic. •However, I did have the whole summer to prepare a sophisticated, schol- arly address, so I stopped wor- ryin. * * * However, I have no sympathy for Program Committee Chair- men, who are completely un- serupulous in their methods. Oneof the more slippery mem- bers of the fraternity hooked and landed me with the skill of a con artist, and that's how I came to' be standing in front of a couple of hundred people the other night, with my hands hanging• -down, my mouth hang- ing open; and the entire audi mice hanging on my opening remarks, which 1, couldn't re member. This , crafty character called me .Zea rune and asked me eas ualiy if I would address the Canadian Club lir September * * * Unfortunately, time passed, as it so often does, and I didn't do a thing about it. Two night before the banquet, despera- tion drove me to choose a topic I decided to talk to the Cana- dian Club about Canada. This was throwing swine before pearls, but it was a niee, big vague subject, so I stuck to it. But I can tell you -I felt pret- ty foolish when I stood up in front of all those people. At their banquet last year, they had really obtained their money's worth — a beautiful, blonde speaker, colored movies, dancing girls, special Hawaiian music. Canadian Government. A sec- ond objective would be the de- velopment of new international agreements covering the distri- bution of agricultural commodi- ties. - Mr. Diefenbaker maintained such a world conference would help produce solutions which would avoid disruption of Com- monwealth economic and po- litical relationships regardless of whether or not Britain. join- ed the Common Market. While the words had a fine ring to them, it was difficult to escape the conclusion that they were sadly lacking in substance. Certainly it was clear that the proposal offered Britain no al- ternative which it could look to for increased trade within the Commonwealth. Nor, was it easy to understand how the Kennedy plan for reducing glo- bal tariff barriers generally would do anything in particu- lar to strengthen the economic and political solidarity of the Commonwealth itself. Since Mr. Dieferibaker con- ceived of the world conference only as preliminary to the ac- tual negotiations on tariff re- ductions later that would be undertaken under the Kennedy plan, it was unlikely that any- thing of substance could be achieved in this direction either. The Commonwealth confer- ence has now passed into his- tory, but the Canadian Prime Minister could still reap such consequences from it that he will• rue his days in London. At the time the negotiations between Britain and the Com- mon Market at Brussels were adjourned last summer be- cause of the United Kingdom's insistence it be granted better terms for the continued entry of Commonwealth agricultural products to its market; Mr. Diefenbaker again • professed himself ,to be well satisfied with the British pledge of pro- tection 'for vital interests. He pointed to the refusal of Britain to accept the terms of- fered as an indication his faith was well justified and maintain- ed there appeared to be no need for •a second Prime Ministers' conference to consider the final terms of agreement, if any, that were reached between the U.K. and the Six. Enroute between Ottawa and London something went wrong. Shortly after his plane touched down, Mr. Diefenbaker set the political " waters boiling. He in- timated that he came with an, alternative plan to British mem- bership in the continental trade alliance that would pro- vide for an increasein trade within tjie Commonwealth it- self. He maintained, further more, that if Britain did reach final terms on membership in the Common Market they should be submitted to a second Prime Ministers' conference. On the second day of the con- ference,- the Canadian Prime Minister made it clear that he was not at all satisfied with the tentative agreement already reached, that covering the fu- ture import of Commonwealth manufactured' .goods into the U.K. market, nor with the kind of terms covering other pro- ducts that were being discuss- ed between Britain and the Market. Suggestions have been made by those present behind the closed doors that Mr. Diefen- baker really put his case in moderate terms. He was in fact represented by the press as having assumed the role of leader of the Commonwealth opposition because of the hard- bitten attack he had made on the entire British position. He was represented in this light because Canadian officials pri- vately briefing the press, and more particularly Mr. Diefen- baker himself, cast the Prime Minister in this role. On the last day the issue was under discussion, the Canadian leader finally produced his al- ternative plan in the form of a text of his actual remarks to the -conference: It makes it clear beyond much doubt that sometime between the end of negotiations at Brussels and the beginning of the Commonwealth conference Mr. Diefenbaker bad lost his faith in the prom- ise of Prime Minister Harold MacMillan to safeguard Com- monwealth ' interests. The Prime Minister's segges- tion that he had an • alternative plan to put forward came as a mystery to his' cabinet col- leagues back home, since they had never discussed' the devel- opment of a concrete proposal that might be put forward as a realistic alternative. The proposal by, Mr. Diefen- baker was only drafted into .shape, between the.time of his arrival on Sept. 7 and its de. livery on Sept. 17. What emerg- edwas a suggestion that Com- monwealth take the initiative of calling a world trading con- ference. The foundation for the meet- ing would be the drive to make a major reduction in world tar- iff barriers initiated- by Presi- d+ent 1'ennedy, which was orig- inally Wildly received by the •* .* *; I didn't have even one lousy lantern slide. I had tried to talk my wife into doing a few native Canadian dances, to add some color. But the only native dances we have are Indian, and she refused to stomp around a fake fireplace in her bare Skin, and the kids got into a scrap over who was going to play the bongo drums for the perform- ance, so we had to wash out the whole business. It was awful. But do you know what I found out? People are extremely polite. They will sit there fighting to keep their eyes open, no matter how rotten a Guest Speaker you are. < They will applaud with a nice blend of relief and gratitude, but po- litely, when you finish. And they will have one of their members stand up and thank you, without a trace of irony, for your inspiring address "which I am sure we will all remember." The old fashioned girl blush- ed when she was embarrassed, but the Modern girl is embar- rassed when she blushes. atitaara; Do any unexplored moun- tain ranges remain on the Canadian mainland? Yes. There are still several of which it is true to say that they 'are virtually unexplored to this day. The Encyclopedia Canadiana, in its 1962 edition, comments on a mountain range of the Yukon Territory. "The Ogilvie Mountains are not pene- trated by any navigable stream or natural route of travel; and although they are only a short distance north of Dawson, they have been little explored." The Ogilvie Mountains lie north of the central Yukon Pla- teau and are in effect a con- tinuation of the Selwyn Moun- tains, extending to the Alaska boundary and a little beyond. To their north lies the plain ity. Other Saskatchewan crops drained by the Porcupine Riv- er. A, few peaks reach 7,000 Pett, but the general level of the ridges is five to six thous- and feet. These mountains are named after William Ogilvie, later commissioner for the Yu- kon Territory, who crossed them at the west in 1888. of this good farmland, 15 mil- lion acres, is planted to wheat. The long northern days of sum- mer and the light dry soil pro- duces hard wheat of top qual- * ;* * What is Saskatchewan's most important resource? ' Land. Over 40 per cent of the province is arable. The bulk are oats, barley, rye and flax- seed. Minerals are growing in importance. , Valuable copper - zinc mines are being opened in the 'north, while oil and gas fields have been established in the southwest. Coal has been mined at Esteva'n for many years. The province is a lead- ing producer of uranium, along with non -metallics such as so- dium sulphate, salt and potash. Manufacturing is still in an early stage of- development, but their volume is growing. Most secondary industries process farm . produce for local use, while petroleum refineries are geared to catering for agricul- tural machinery. Services have been growing very rapidly 'and now '"create more business in Saskatchewan than do manufac- turers. Ste Loss toMunicipalities As .Grant Basis Changes ,Municipalities stand to lose substantially by reason of pro- vincial legislation limiting the so-called unconditional grant for hospitalization of indigents, Huron county council was told at Friday's - session. In the in- terest of economy, many muni- cipalities have insured with the Hospital Services Commission some or all families in receipt of welfare, but none of this premium cost is permitted to be included for the purpose of determining "100 per cent of such statutory payments." This seems illogical, inasmuch as if there had been no coverage with the Commission the cost of hospitalization would have been more than the premium cost, and the whole cost of such payments would have been al- lowed. Council concurred in a Wind- sor resolution seeking to have the situation rectified. "We have some 90 persons or families covered in the Ontario Hospital Services at the pres- ent time," said Clerk -Treasurer Berry, "and cannot claim the expenditure for grant purpos- es. We could continue the hos- pital plan, and then all the money paid out would be avail- able for grant. This came to my mind immediately after we. heard of the change. Mr. Mac- Maughton has been working on it." Report of the finance com- mittee was presented by Reeve Adair, of Wingham. The Wind- sor resolution to which it re- ferred added: "Whereas in prior years the full grant has been received during the current year (ac- tually about June in 1981), it is now apparent that the reduc- ed grant will be paid in two amounts, only 50 per cent dur- ing the current fiscal year and the remainder some time after January 1. This is a serious blow to i iunicipal budgeting and financial planning, as well as materially affecting operat- ing account and the cash posi- tion over the year-end. "It is also suggested that it would be most reassuring for municipalities at budget time if there was statutory assur- ance that any new legislation affecting financial income or ex- penditure of municipalities would not be made effective until the fust of the year fol- lowing. passage of such legisla- tion. "The only remedy seems to be by concerted representation through' the Ontario Municipal Association as soon as possible." Reeve Hanna, of East Wawan- osh, chairman of the property committee, received approval of its report, in which contracts'. were awarded as follows: paint- ing outside of jail, D. A. Kay, Clinton, $95; coal supply for jail, next two seasons, Overholt Coal Co., Goderich, $23.85 per ton; supply of fuel oil to Court; house for next two seasons, Ross Scott, Brucefield, at 13.9c per gallon; office furniture for Crown Attorney's department, K.. A. Hammond, Moorefield. The committee investigated a public address system for the council ,chamber and found it too expensive. Worsell Bros., Goderich, -sub- mitted the only tender on heat- ing renovations, at $1,823, and this was accepted. Consideration is being given by the committee to having re- produced and framed pictures of county councils prior to 1922. Groups from that year are al- ready mounted in 'a courthouse corridor. Reeve Tom Leiper, of Hullett, offered pictures of around 1911 or 1912. Pursuant to the reforestation committee's report, presented by Reeve Harvey Culbert, West Wawanosh, a bylaw was passed to purchase 100 acres in Con- , cession 3, West Wawanosh, from W. J. Moreland, a resi- dent of the United States, Tor $2,000 in Canadian funds. "It is well reforested now - 70 or 80 per cent," Reeve Cul- bert explained, "and rather than see it bought by some in- dividual we thought we would try to keep it in reforestation." * * * Who founded the On- tario Educational System?, Egerton Ryerson. Born in Upper Canada in 1803, young Ryerson became a saddle -bag preacher, missionary to the In- dians' at the Credit, first editor of the "Christian.. _Guardian". and secretary to the Wesleyan Missionary Society. Ryerson was an early political .reform- er until he broke with William Lyon Mackenzie in 1833. He and the Methodists, generally, took no part in the Rebellion of 1837. Eventually, Ryerson became superintendent of the so-called "common" schools. After a long study of educa- tion in 'the British Isles and certain European countries, Ry- erson yerson published his ' historic "Report" in 1846. The Encyclo- pedia Canadiana states that the public school system, of Ontario has been built upon this docu- ment. Ryerson led the fight for free general -education, reach- ing this goal in 1871. His plans for the diffusion of state -sup- ported, university education were not realized until after his death, Ryerson published the month- ly "Journal of Education" from 1848 until his retirement in 1876. He was first president of the General Conference of the Metbodist Church of Canada. He *rote' editorials and artiolet for the presa for over 60 years. Tree commissioners were ap- pointed as follows: William pou- gall, Hensall; Hugh Hill, Gode- rich, and Borden Scott, RR 1, Belgrave. Reeve Glenn Webb, of Steph- en, roads chairman, suggested a tour by the whole council ov- er the county roads system, with a view to making a note of things they might recommend to the committee for the fol- lowing year. Warden McCutch- eon expressed approval of the plan, "for another year." Council adopted the report of the . Huronview committee, which awarded the cdutract for bunker fuel oil to Fuel Oil Corporation, Breslau, at 9.74 cents per gallon. A Huron sup- plier, Ross Scott, of Brucefield, one of four tendering, had bid 10.25c. Hon. W. K. Warrender, On- tario Minister of Labor, sent a memorandum, about the new Construction Safety Act, which makes mandatory the appoint- ment of inspectors by "every count." Desiring more informa- tion, council laid this over. A resolution from Welland Coun- ty Council opposed the measure and asked repeal. Hereafter, when members at- tend two committee meetings in one day in the same loca- tion, total pay will not exceed $20. Pay for one -day sessions is to be $15, instead of $12, ef- fective next year. A bylaw was passed appoint- ing T. Murray MacDonald as county emergency measures co- ordinator, on a permanent bas- is, effective July 1, 1962, at $4,500 per annum, ,with salary increased beginning in 1964 to a maximum of $5,000. The coun- ty organization is supposed to maintain liaison with "thd'' Dom- inion and Provincial ' Govern- ments and nearby States of the U.S.A." The Dominion pays 75 per cent of costs, Ontario 15 per cent and municipalities 10 per cent. Council's new member, Depu: ty Reeve Delbert Geiger, of Hay, was appointed to health and reforestation committees. Called upon by the warden as the session closed, he said: "I assure , you this is one day •I will never forget. It has been an interesting experience as - No Politics When Reeves Vote Huron county council will no longer elect Conservative and Liberal wardens in alternate years. That was settled at the June session, and discussion last Friday left the decision un- changed, but Reeve Clarence Hanna, of East Wawanosh, of- fered an interesting variation. "I would like to see a gen- tleman's agreement," he said, "that 16 townships be divided equally, and leave the towns and villages about the same, and we would have north and south. Townships in the north would prepare for a warden, and the next year the south, and the villages and towns the next year, and that would not leave places like Wingham 4d years without a warden. We would have every third year a candidate. ' Discussion. arose when coun- cil, after a second crack at it, .adopted a new set of standing orders. andregulations recom= mended by the warden's com- mittee.. One clause provides that the warden shall be elect- ed "in the manner provided by resolution of council passed prior to the election." Chairman Adair was asked: "Are we going to have an 'open field for the warden, or -are you going to have a gentle- man's agreement and let the Liberals have it for 1963?" Reeve Harvey Coleman, of Stanley, a member of the com- mittee said: "Waren the mem- bers come in 1963 they won't declare their position, and in a few years you won't know which side they are on," "They are sure going to be a good . many votes the first day," a councillor suggested. The point was also raised that with many candidates canvass- ing for warden, good men would be lost to committee chairman- ships. "I don't think that was the feeling of the committee," said Warden McCutcheon. "The pro- cedure for the first d a y would better keep council to- gether for afternoon session, instead of adjoureing and go- ing into caucus and leaving the audience on a limb. This way they would be able to follow through the whole afternoon procedure. With politics out of the election of warden, it might take some color out of council, but we felt that this would make it more interesting . to council and audience." Mr. McCutcheon said . later that lluron had been almost the Drily county electing its warden on a party basis, Check Warden On Campaign George McCutcheon, Progres- sive Conservative candidate in the Huron -Bruce by-election, did not escape kidding . as he performed the duties of war- den at county council's one -day sitting last Friday. The joking began when some- one affixed to the card bearing his name, title and municipal- ity, an election leaflet an- nouncing: "The man with the eatperience to carry on." Later, when - "enquiries" was the order of business, a mem- ber demanded: "Who left these advertisements on our desks 'The man with the experience to carry on in Huron -Bruce'?" "I don't know who put them there," replied the warden, un- perturbed. "Anything else un- der enquiries? I would like to make an enquiry, but I am afraid I cannot get the answer until October 4," Reeve Haskin, of Howick, got into the act when he moved non -concurrence in a Victoria County' resolution, asking the province to assume the cost of ambulance service for indigents and non-residents where fees canno f. ,be collected from those involved. "We think sometimes we have a lot of Money spent when these campaigns are on," he re- marked, "andnve might have to spend mere this way." sociating with county council, possibly a little to be counted I presume I fast if I know late in the year as a member, and will have to learn am going to get to the work."

Dick, Main Street, contests were enjoyed throughout the evening. The honored guest expressed thanks to all those present for gifts received. Lunch was serv- ed at the conclusion of party. the Mental- Health Group Organizes The second organization meet - ng of the proposed Huron County branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association was held Tuesday night in the com- munity room of the new British Mortgage & Trust building.
