The Blyth Standard, 1969-01-22, Page 1THE BLYTH STANDARD 1314Y'TII, ONTARIO -- WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22, 1969 "Serving Myth and Community Since 1885" Agr. Society Retiring After 20 Voddens Tell Of Reports Good Year Yrs. On Main Street (NIB Work The annual meeting of the .Blyth Agricultural Society was held in the Memorial Hall last Saturday evening 'with a good crowd in attendance, President Ray Hanna welcomed all to the meeting and outlined a few plans for 1969 as well as giving high• lights of the 1968 fall fair. The financial statement was pre• sented by fair hoard secretary Donald M, Young, and he was able to report a larger hank bal. ance than last year. Murray Scott brought in the report of the fair evaluating eon• mittee and said the committee felt the society should take a serious look at all phases of live. stock, 'horse show and feeder calf club to see if they were doing the job intended for them, Hugh Flynn, chairman of the feeder calf elub, reported a very successful year in 1968 and he took the opportunity to thank his. committee for their splendid work, Mrs. 'Ray Hanna reported for the ladies' committee and said she felt that all should be fairly well satisfied with their section of the fall fair. The meeting nominated Bruce Falconer as the Agricultural' So- ciety representative on the Blyth and District Recreational Com. mittee, Russell Wilson spoke on behalf of the Huron PIoneer Thresher Association and offered 1:tanks to the society for their as• istance with the 1968 reunion, The directors meeting was held ever until January 27th at 8.30 %alien officers and committees will be named and further busi- ness dealt with. In it's place, a very successful dance was held following the annual meeting. January Thaws To Perfection A fellow travelling through Blyth the other day told us a story of an old chap, he once know, Apparently the old lad was slightly illiterate, but none- the less, received great joy in talking of old tines. A few years ago he was talking to our story teller and came out with the re- mark, "I've seen 'thousands' of Januarys but never one without a thaw," Well, the old fellow's prediction has again conic true in 1969 as this 'part of the continent has been in the throws of a thaw this past week, And a wonderful one at that! With so much snow piled up this year, local residents were fearful of flooding condi. tions If the thaw happened to turn out like some we have seen in t'he past, But, we're happy to say, we :have had a nice grad- ual rise in • temperatures during the past five or six days, and no serious flooding has been report- ed. Although the snow banks have dwindled considerably, The old main drag in Blyth is In great shape, And di you had not been around to see It, no one would even guess that banks on the sides of the streets had piled high enough to neces• sitate their removal tree times during the past three weeks. In fact, it almost gives you the ef• fect of: living in Florida -- when you're standing . inside and .look- ing out of the front window, that is. Weather forecasters call for milder temperatures around the forty mark, .with. rain .on Wednes- day and 'Thursday, so we nijht have to man the suing- pum'ps before it's over yet This Saturday will see the end of a twenty-year career in busi• ness on Blyth's Main Street for Etta Laidlaw, when she retires as clerk at the Arcade Stpre. Etta first began to work in our village when she and her late husband, Tom, moved here from their farm on 'the eighth line of Morris 'Township. She began work as clerk in the grocery busi• ness operated at that time by the late Stuart Robinson. On October lath, 1950 she commenced work at the Arcade Store where sits has been employed ever since. She has plans to remarry and make her home in Wingham, And we at the Standard office join with Etta's many friends in wish ing her many happy years of both retirement and marriage. LION TAMER - - - ANYONE? If you happen to look out of the -window this weekend and just happen to see a lion wander by, don't go over the deep end and change your brand ,,f spirits, Dad, the darned thing will have probably escaped from the Blyth Singer Center. Yes sir, that's what will have happened because 'she folks clown at the Singer Center's pet department plan to have such an animal on display Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. The eventual owner of the (pct?) lives at Gorrie and will receive deliverey on Saturday afternoon, if all goes well. The lovable little fellow is 'only four months old and is already the size of a large shepherd dog! So if you'd like to have a look at the "king of the beasts" you'll have the chance to do so right here in Blyth this weekend, But just in case, we'd advise taking along a whip and a chair, Unit Starts China Study Book The Maple Leaf Unit of the U.C.W. met at the Church on Thursday, January 16, with 23 present.

Just what the unheralded ap• pearance means, we can't say. But one thing for sure, it defin• itely isn't the sign of an easy tvinter! Perhaps 'ewe can loot forward to an early spring. Mrs,Rodger tells us she be• lieves the deep snow protected the flowers from t'he heavy frosts and 'thereby making it \ possible for them to survive. Not bcirig an experton anything that we can think of, and certainly not flow- ers, we'll gladly take her explan. ation. Or perhaps that yearly envoi. ope of hot air from Garrett stray• ed in the mails and ended up in Auburn this year!

OLD DAYS You know those people who have been .going around for the past 20 years complaining, "Remember the good old days, when we used to have real winters, with lots of snow?" I'd like to catch the first person who says it, and stick him, upside down, anywhere in our backyard. All you'd see would be two feet trying to semaphore "S.O.S," and you wouldn't even see that unless he were six • feet tall or more. Quite a winter, In our town, you can park the car in front of the house, and you wouldn't know it was there, except for the radio aerial, Because -of the flu, and my bad back, and all those warn- ings about heart attacks, and ;bone laziness, I've been hiring boys to shovel our front •and back sidewalks, about 90 yards of them. (Remember the good old days, when you offered to shovel somebody's walk and worked like a little beaver for two hours, knocked at the door when you were finished, hoping for a dime, or maybe even a quarter, and some gentle, little old lady would say, "Thank you, little boy," and give you a cookie?) Things have changed. The kids now work for a straight dollar an hour, if you can find one small enough so that he hasn't been corrupted by the snow•shovellers' union. However, it hasn't cost me much yet. I've hired five, and. three of them haven't been seen since they+started working on the front- walk, We'll probably find them in the spring, smiling seraphically ,among the rotted oak leaves -and fatlen•.branches, But one of them, a rosy -faced urchin called Jerry, is going to go places. He's right 'on the job,•.1f • there's •a. gentle snow falling, and there's about an inch of it, and -it's seven o'clock on a Sunday morning, he phones to see if I want hien. If it's snowing as if Mere was a big hole in the sky, and blowing .like - a banshee, and drifting deep, you couldn't get hold of that'kld if::you S.got the whole police force looking for him. Much the same happens with the chap•who..plows the.drivet way. U there's three inches of light snow, he's right there. If there's eight inches of heavy snow, 1'll.swear•he'just goes home and sits by the fire, And whichever, ,he. has -an unerring instinct for cleaning the driveway just three minutes 'before the town snowplow comes' along and -.tills it in again, It's sort of fun driving in this stuff, though. It brings out the Cossack in'the mildest :of motorists. First, you eye the pile of snow at the mouth of your driveway. Looks fairly light and only two feet deep. Your get the -old crock going,. usually, Start slowly backwards, out of the garage, then •give it the gun and try to buck through the drift on sheer, raw .courage and plain, stupidity. Sometimes you even make it. Sometimes there's a foot of Iron ice under that sur- face of fluffy stuff. But it's the nearest modern equivalent to a cavalry charge that I know, except that you're going backwards, What gives it a little extra spice is that, because of the huge banks, you can't see a thing in either direction as you hit that enemy line. The other day, I nearly tallied two snowmobiles that were whizzing .past. And the next:day, an o11 truck would have got me, except that -this was 'one of the times 1 didn't break through the drift. You can't beat the modern -methods. of snow removal, though. They usdd to lug it away In trucks and dump it in some patch of -tva3teland. Today, instead of trucks, we have the snowblower. And in the spring, when ;the snow is'all gone, you go out with first 'a shovel, then a rake, and ;finally •a :stiff . broom, and re. move about four carloads of salt and.sand'from !what used to be•your nice, green lawn. It's our own 'fault, of course. People used to put the beasts up on blocks in November, Today, it's not only vital, but a matter of pride, to keep the car in action, even -though we drive only three blocks to work, We're caught on the horns of our own dilemma, and it's painful, but it certainly keeps us on our toes, when winter decic4,2s i101Ril IiNr:' oi;;;;ilid!1 H9itili e;!ani!1JIMitifkiikenitikeOlibl'di ;ii VainAsci ciiiiieilimiui&thiVel til lelleill;iiitl';lu;;;;;;; viellula,1 THE BLYTH STANDARD Serving the Blyth Community since 1SR5 Published -every Wednesday at Queen Street, BLYTH, ONTARIO. • Douglas Whitmore, Publisher.

What does it tell us of the world in which we live? On every hand unrest, dis. order, crime, violence, poverty; everywhere tensions between man and pian, race and race, nation and nation. That the world is acutely aware of the dangers of the ex. isting turmoil is clearly shown by the fact that its leaders work. so feverishly to reform and regulate society. But can men reform the world? The answer is no! Should God be blamed for the world's Wickedness? The answer again Is no! That the plight of the world is not hopeless however is Ile reason for calling the Gospel the "Good News." God has given man the solution to his fearful predicament and has committed to the Church the task of telling this Good News. Living as we do in days of tremendous change, we as inch. victual Christians and the Church as a whole MUST remember that God has laid a Foundation that never changes, established a Cross that is ageless and a hope that never fades. And how we Christians need to he reminded again and again of the peril of an empty profession. "Not everyone who • says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but •he"who does the will of my Father' who is in heaven" (Matt. 7; 21). There roust be obedience in action! The turmoil of the world today is the result of spiritual darkness. But out of the turmoil there can come rest; out of chaos, ieace; out of darkness, light; and out of sickness of soul and Spirit [he marvelous health of redeeming love. That is the message of the Gospel, which Is man's only hop; now and for eternity. -- if 611 : I r I � 1 ,.,r.(,1;11.11'111;;.11.'' l{.

General Accounts Paid: I THE INTERNATIONAL SCENE (By Raymond Canon) TDE AMERICAN INFLUENCE ON CANADA Sometimes I think it would be better if Canadians spoke a different language than the Americans. If we did, then we might not be so open to influence from the United States. As it is, we are undergoing a continual bombardment of ideas from the States with regard to almost everything. food, dress, customs, religion, etc. Many of these ideas may undoubtedly have merit, but with the Americans supplying so many of them, it quite frankly makes It very difficult for us to have many of our own. Let's take a closer look at what I mean by this. Go to a newsstand and see now many American magazines there are corn. pared to Canadian ones. At some of the racks in our local store, 1 failed to find a single homegrown magazine, and if the store only carried Canadian publications and newspapers, it would be out of business 111 no time. None of these magazines were written with Canadians in mind, and yet when people read them here, they un• consciously take on many of the ideas. Let's- look at an American magazine with a Canadian NI. ition. Time magazine, one of the better known publications on sale here, comes out with what it calls a Canadian edition. This 'otiiitis good until you look at U. Four pages of Canadian news and :he other 99 odd pages are the same as in the home edition. Even the news in the Canadian section is not much Aifferent from what you will find in many a Canadian newspaper. Add to Om all the American programs that one sees on and you'll understand that American views on almost, every. hing are flooding us, and while some of them are good. American. lows and values are not necessarily Canadian ones. With this incessant barrage going on, it is really difficult lo decide if something the Americans have is intrinsically better or if they are sus( saying so for the It Is, however, better rbal ..se make the distinction, for difficult as it may seem for some people to notice, we are different from Americans • more conservfi live in our approach, more modest in the assessment of ottr achieve merits (too modest at times) and we are to a certain extent multi. elutured nation rather than throughing our cultures into one bli: .iielting pot and stirring it until it all comes out the same. If we are going to retain something distictively Canadian about us, we must try to separate the gold from the dross as 11 comes across the border, and frankly 1 wonder if we're up to it. 1 11011' We're not when 1 hear sonic union demanding wage parity with he United States when we can't come near matching their produtt. :vity. 1 also hate to see text books used in our schools that are drinted in the States. Some still are, and you can't find the word Canada in them unless you look awfully hard. Finally it bothers .ne that so 'natty of our industries are American controlled. It's a At too much of a good thing. Let's face it. We don't live beside the United States, we live in the shadow of it, 'there's no question of our not getting along with them, It's simply that our thinking here Is overpowered ily the great mass of word and print that finds its way to our eountry. 1 for one would like to turn down the volume a bit, or preferably turn up our own speaker.
