Bicycle, money. have few takers Times can't be as bad as people say. It seems the kids of today are affluent enough that a chance at earning money and winning a bicycle doesn't in- terest them, When The Standard announc- ed its subscription contest last week it wasn't expected there would be a hoard of children applying but more than TWO were expected. But that is how many have registered so far, exactly two. The 'contest offered a bicycle for the child who sold the most subscriptions during the month- long subscription drive which starts next Monday. In addition every child selling three or more subscriptions would re- ceive one dollar fcr each sub- scription sold. The top sales- man during each week of the campaign would receive a free pass for two to the Lyceum Theatre in Wingham. Thus if a child sold 20 subscriptions and this was more than anyone else sold he would get a bicycle, plus $20 and probably the free pass to the theatre if he was top salesman in any one of the five weeks of the contest, Anyone who already has a bike may take $50 cash instead, So far, however, only two of several hundred eligible youngsters from Blyth, Auburn, Londesboro, Waltou,. Belgrave and the surrounding area have registered and any who wishes to take part must have registered before March 20 by sending in the registration form in the paper, March 20 is the first day of the contest. vocal ma 'killed incrash An accident just south of Londesbcro on Saturday after- noon took the life of a Blyth resident, Bruce Blackwell, 45 of Queen Street was going north on Highway 4 when his car went out of control about a half -mile from Londesboro. The car snapped off several guard posts and went down a steep embankment on the east side of the highway, There were three passengers in the car at the time, Derek Holmes, 12 and his sisters, Deborah and Heather, 8, children of Mr, and Mrs, George Holmes, R.R. 2, Clinton. Derek and Deborah were taken to Clinton Public Hospital for treatment of minor injuries but Heather was unin- jured. The accident occured at five minutes past noon but in was nearly an hour later before Mr. Blackwell was freed from the wreckage and rushed to the emergency department of Clinton Public Hospital.

These are the questions to be answered, as the Huron County Home Care Program is expand- ing to cover all of the county. Home Care is a co-ordination of services, that allow a patient to leave hospital early or avoid admission to hospital, but re- ceive adequate care in their home where surroundings are more familiar and they are not separated from their family and friends. Home Care is financed by the Department of Health so there is no charge to the pat- ient for the services provided. In order to be eligible for care in the Horne Care Pro- gram the patient must be referred by the Family Phy- sician and must require one of the following: Nursing Care, Physiotherapy, Occup- ational therapy or Speech Therapy. If one of the services list- ed above are required, home- making, the cost of drugs, lab and x-ray costs and trans- portation, if needed, may be provided. The Home Care Program does not offer twenty-four hour care, so the family Continued on pg. 4. inc cai me hard A Seaforth-area cat lost it's life early Monday morning, and. half of Huron County felt the effects. The cat got on a grounding transformer at the large transform- er station one and a quarter miles east of Seaforth and was electrocuted. The result was a power blackout that effected 8,000 to 10, 000 hydro users in the central part of the county. The incident occured about 12:30 a. m. Monday and the power was off until 1:00 a, m, Seaforth, Clinton, Blyth, Brussels and Walton were blacked out, 'as well as the surround- ing rural areas. The cat was still affecting the county the next morning be- cause some people, not realizing the power had been off while they slept, were late getting to work. . 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, March .150 1972, Standard / Ed itorials , inc big school DFODI�M An article in the Weekend magazine on Saturday finally brought out in the public eye what many of us have known for years; big schools just aren't much good, The article is written by H. Gordon Green, an author, farmer, and teacher who has taught in small schools and in large ones, Mr, Green says he was among those who thought the big schools would improve education but he says educators must now recog- nize that the large schools just don't work.. The first mistake of governments and educators was in think- ing that principles that worked in factories could work in schools. Larger factories were more economical than small ones, so large schools should be mare economical than small ones. They weren't. Mr, Green points out that the costs are astronomical, partly because the students had to be bused to school and busing costs money. Part of the reason was that the huge buildings cost more and needed more gadgetry. Part of the reason was th at the vocational section of the schools, the one that costs the most money and was supposed to be the big advantage, haven't really been that popular with the students, He gave an example of one machine shop which cost $100, 000 to install and has fewer than 15 pupils using it, Mr, Green talked to the guidance councillors at one large school who told him that if the department stayed open 24 hours a day it couldn't meet the demand for its services from the students. Most of these wishing to see the counsellors just want someone to talk to. The problem is that the teachers' classes are numbers composed of students who are numbers and even the teacher is a number. In such cases the individual gets lost. What Mr, Green did not say its that education must be a part of the community, they are above the community. In the old days, when every community had its own school, the teacher knew the students as an individual and usually knew his family too, Students activities were a part of the community; not something that went on in some big fortress behind closed doors which were a barrier to the public. Students could all take part in extra -curricular activities be- cause they all lived fairly near the school. In our large schools, a large per centage of students are cut off from sports and other activities because they must go home on buses and miss pract- ices, Students are away from their home environment during school hours because they are often in another town miles from home. Parents have few connections with the school. Is it any wonder people feel alienated? Soon the trend has got to be reversed or our education system and our whole society will face a crisis. Let's hope the change comes soon and comm.urities such as ours can once again have schools in their midst. 1 Women's pay Canadian women are vastly underpaid and under -employed, Sylvia Gelber, director of the Federal Labor Department Women's Bureau, outlined the dismal dimensions of discrim- ination. Whether in industrial, professional or.academic sectors, women draw lower pay than men for the same job despite legislation forbidding such practices. Men machine operators in the women's clothing trade get 7446 per hour more than women, women spinners in the syn- thetic textile field get 41.646 lower wages than me.n, male assemblers in the motor parts trade get 63.846 more pay than women, men machine operators in the motor trade get 64% more than women operators. From these figures it is evident that unions have failed wom- en, consequently women will have to help themselves. Annual earnings of women engineers and scientists drop 4196 below men in those professions. Male professors earn eight per. cent more than women, assistant professors get five per cent more, lecturers and instructors up to nine percent more. But recent patterns of labor unrest show that women are finally beginning to value their services more highly. Nurses and teachers who would not have dreamed of inconveniencing the public by strike five years ago have grown increasingly militant. Recently 8,000 telephone operators demanded more pay and an end to "male exploitation" which raised two women to executive rank in a company where 22,000 of its 35,000 employees are women. A growing sense of awareness and self-worth among women indicate they are organized and angry enough to fight for their rights -- at last. THE BLYTH STANDARD' KEITH W.

Crystal encased milkweed after ice storm Fi'oiii lily wi ow by SHIRLEY J. KELLER PART TWO Have you ever sat, fully clothed, in a hospital room with two empty beds, the doors shut tight, not knowing why? Have you ever felt helplessly trapped and horribly forgotten? That's how my husband and I felt that afternoon he was admitt- ed to hospital for some minor sur- gery, There we were, not knowing what the future would hold for us, and we were shut in a room while the whole staff went wild outside the door. After what seemed like eons, the same young man opened the door, letting in a blessed draught of fresh air and civilization. "Just a little fire in a garbage can up on the seventh floor,". he beained,obviously pleased that he could offer that information. More waiting, Next came a pretty white -coat- ed gal with a set of scales and a blood -pressure machine. Quietly and efficiently she went about her business. She ordered niy husband to step onto the scales, He obeyed, She asked him to get off and sit down, She pushed a thermometer into his mouth and told him to role up his sleeve. She wound the big arm band onto his arm and began pumping. When she was satisfied that blood was indeed flowing through his veins, she released the band, removed the thermom- eter and left the room as s %4ftly as she'd come, More waiting, still fully clothed. The rattle of the juice wagon could be heard down the hall, The lady in charge stopped out- side the door and peered in. She took in the scene, Two fully clothed, healthy specimens sitting beside two empty hospital beds. "W},ttre's the patient?" she asked, facial muscles in stiff motion. "I guess that's me," smiled my husband, rather weakly. "You coming or going?" the juice lady asked briskly. "I'm trying to check in right now," replied my husband, making an effort to be 'nice, "What do you want, - juice or gingerale?" she inquired, setting down a glass of ice water, "Nothing, thank you, " teased my husband, "Pm too weak to enjoy it," The juice wagon clattered on down the hall, More waiting, "Mr, Keller?" came the bright little voice. "We have to have your co-operation for a while now." There was another little nurse, one we'' d never seen be- fore, She toted scales and a blood -pressure machine. She plopped the scales down onto the floor, "Now we're going to see how much you weigh, Mr, Keller," she stated, mentioning for my husband to get up onto the scales. He obeyed, She announced his weight.` "I'm going to have to go easy on that ice water," said my weary spouse, "I've gained ��� pound in a.little less than half an hour. " The nurse was puzzled. My husband told her he'd been weighed and measured and gauged previously, At first the nurse's face fell. Then she brightened. "Did the others get a urine sample?" she asked excitedly. "No," said my husband, near the point of exasperation, "The men's washroom is just down the hall," she smiled, pushing the customary glass jug into his hand, More waiting. * Next carne the allergy nurse, the one specifically dispatched to discover patient's allergies. We were both sorry we couldn't brighten h er obviously sad life with news of a rare allergy, She left, downhearted, The supper trays began arriv- ing. My husband was on regu- lar diet according to the tag on his tray. "But you must be in bed to get served," chortled the tray - bearer, Without complaint, hubby got out of his clothes, into his pyjamas and up onto the bed. At last he knew he was admitted, an integral part of the hospital, Hooray! /e your week ahead BY DR. A.W.

Mr, Adams said the fire started about 8:30 a, in, while feed was being forced under pressure from a truck into storage bins in the barn, He said sparks caused by a piece of stone'or metal, mixed in with the feed and striking a metal section of the bin, might have ignited either explosive grain dust or nearby piles of hay. ,"It went up real fast. We tried to get the hogs out,. but when we opened the barn doer, the wind blew the smoke right at us and we couldn't see a thing,." Blyth firemen, hampered by the wind and blowing snow, had to water down two nearby barns containing 375 pigs to prevent the buildings from being ignited by showers of sparks, County, couc.il raises m i leage rates Although Clerk -treasurer for the County of Huron, John Berry, could not say exactly what it would mean in total dollars, members of council voted themselves an increase in mileage from ten cents to 12 cents per. mile effective March 1, The executive committee chaired by McKillop Reeve Allan Campbell, said that the raise would put county council- lors in line with all other'county personnel as far as mileage is concerned, It was Anson McKinley, dep- uty -reeve of Stanley, who won- dered how much the increase would cost the county taxpayers. "How large an item is this?" asked McKinley, "There is no way to tell," answered Clerk Berry, Derry Boyle, Reeve of Exeter, was the first councillor to oppose to increase for mileage. "We hassle over the services to our people but there's no diffic- ulty approving something for ourselves," observed Boyle, "Wc just raised our annual stipend a while ago, I see no reason to raise the mileage rates," Several councillors agreed with Boyle but the vote carrica easily to approve the increase.

After a stormy period of disa cussion for the past two months, Huron County Council agreed to take out membership for 1972 in Midwestern Development Council (M. O,D,A,) at a cost of slightly more than $6, 000, But there are conditions attach- ed to the membership for Huron County councillors want to be assured that this county will have some autonomy in the organiz- ation, The conditions are that the present composition of the Board of Directors of M, D, C. be re- structured as proposed by Walter Cowing at Fridays session; and that Huron County have direct representation on the Board of Directors, The proposal outlined by Walter Cowing, general man- ager of M.D. C, was that there would be three members each from Huron, Perth and Welling- ton counties and one each from the village of Ayr, the towns of New Hamburg and St. Marys and the city of Stratford, As well, there would be a provin- cial appointment. The past president would also be a sitt- ing member of the board, In addition to these 15 people, there would be five other rep- resentatives - one each from 'agriculture, planning, educat- ion, industry and tourism, According to Cowing, these five persons would also be vot- ing members on the board because their effectiveness seemed threatened without that privilege, What is important to Huron is that Huron's three members would be appointed directly by county council and could include either elected or appointed personnel, In the past, according to Gowing, there was no guarant- ee that county council would have any direct representation on the board and the line of communications "broke down" making it difficult for county councillors to fully understand what county money was doing for Huron people, Gowing called the proposal a "very radical change from the present system", He said the decisions would rest with the people who put up the money for M; D. C, Is program - 13 cents per capita this year from each member municipality. Charles Thomas, reeve of Grey, who had voiced some concerns about M. D. C. Is oper- ations at last month's county council session, said he was very pleased with the progress which had been made since the previous meeting. He claimed he was satisfied that M, D, C, was striving to give more power to the people who paid the bills and noted he had only slight reservations about the resource people who had the right to vote, Anson McKinley, deputy - reeve of Stanley, saw the new system within M. D, C, as a way to get "regular repoits" which "will do much to dis- pell the concerns about M,D,C,", But Derry Boyle, reeve of Exeter, was not happy with the proposal. Boyle said he understood at the end of 1971 that the county could not afford a county development officer and membership in M. D, C, as well, He said the council had chosen to maintain Spence Cummings as develop- ment officer and he thought M. D. membership should be dropped for one year, Boyle estimated it costing about $107,000 in Huron already for services similar to those provided by M, D. C, With M. D. C. membership it would bring the cost to over $113,000. "I'm wondering why this change in thinking at such an added cost to the county," mused Boyle. Goderich Reeve Paul Carroll said it was not a duplication of services, and Spence Cummings, development officer, said the M. D, C. compliments county development. Cummings predicted more results from M. D, C. in the next two years and praised Walter Cowing, saying that Cowing is a man with "a lot of good ideas and he can put them across", Reeve Hugh Flynn, Hullett, told council it was time the county body "tightened its belt" but former warden Jack Alexander, reeve of Wingham, said the county council should "be prepared to change our old thinkings when we're pre- sented with a new, improved idea". A recorded vote showed a comfortable margin - 23 -12 - of those who were in favor of membership in M. D. C. under the previously mentioned conditions, Those councillors who voted against joining M. D, C. were Boyle, Bill Elston, Morris, Lloyd Ferguson, Usborne; John Flannery, Seaforth; Flynn; Lloyd Hend- rick, Hay; D. R. McGregor, Exeter; Alex McGregor, Tuckersmith; Ken McMichael, Turnberry; Doug McNeil, Colborne; Harold Robinson, Howick; and Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith, Kias� You can wimew bike or $50 in the Standard subscription contest If you are 8 years of age or older, register now for the subscription drive from Monday, March 20 to Friday, April 21 The top salesman will receive a boys' or girls' bicycle from Cronin's Harware, Blyth.

Nature witnessed His triumph on that resurrection morning, The Lesson of spring is that "Our God is a Redeeming God," At Easter, all nature is preaching a mighty sermon from a mighty text. "Because I live, ye shall live also," Job asked, "If a man die, shall he live again?" - a quest- ion as old as human life itself. The supreme fact of immort- ality is Jesus Christ, Since that first Easter morning the be- lieving world is full of .gladness and satisfaction of soul, Immortality is no longer a question of history, It is the glad experience of ever dauntless soul to venture everything in the name of Him who said, "Because I live you shall live also." If it were possible to take from the human heart the desire to live again, then the very deepest thing in human existence would be gone, Tennyson wrote, "If God has given birth to the desire to live again and has not made provision to meet that desire, then I cannot believe in anything any more. " He gives expression to his faith in his poem, "In Memoriam." Just as one season is too short to reveal the beauty of a flower, so the normal span of life is too brief to enable man to fully express himself, Sir Isaac Newton, who crowded a long list of ruble achievements into his short life said almost at the close, "I do not know what I may appear to the world but to myself, I seem to have been but a little boy playing on the seashore busy trying to find a smoother, prettier pebb- le while the great ocean lay undiscovered before me," One of the tragedies in this life without the Christian faith is that we see the -expanding mind, the evergrowing personal- ity in a decaying body. Man alone has to leave this earth with his talents little used, and his strength scarcely utilized. Is not God greater than anything He has made? If man's work lives on, then man himself, greater than his works, must live also. Someone once said, "It is an intellectual absurdity to create man to live 50, 60, 70 years and then put him in the, ground and call that,the end." What of the young lives that have gone. Those, if they had lived might have become our statesmen, surgeons, teach- ers, etc. Man's true greatness demands another life and it is given him, Our journey is not to the grave. The tomb is not a terminus, but a throughfare to our complete fulfillment.

Some of the reasons for this resolution. were that Sunday Funerals force Funeral Directors to work on the' Sabbath, create a lot of extra work for clergy who are already very busy on Sunday leaving no time for Family life, and make it necessary for UCW's to pre- pare refreshments if a reception Blyth United Church members have supper Approximately 60 mambers of the Blyth United Church, Choir, Sunday School teachers and Officers, and Christian Educat- ion Committee Leaders, attend- ed a supper, March 11,, sponsored by the Starlight Unit, During the evening a sing -song was led by Ken Scott of Londes- boro, after which the Rev, Law- rence Lewis of Ontario Street United Church, in Clinton gave an informative talk, The Junior and Intermediate Choirs led by Mrs, Donald Kai, sang several numbers in Sunday School, March 12, There was a good attendance of over 100 children, with the majority of classes having perfect attendance,_ Special plans are being made for Easter Sunday. Forcing pussy willows and forsyth is Cure the midwinter blues with some attractive pussy willows or forsythia. Although bloom times are still a few weeks away, the plants can be forced into blossom indoors, says Burke McNeill, Hor- ticultural Specialist, Ontario De- partment of Agriculture and Food, Cut 3- to 4 -foot wands of flow- ering wood and place them in a vase or jar of water in a warm room, In a few days they will break into bloom and brighten up the whole house, Only three cc four stems are needed for each vase. Forsythia can be cut without reducing the plant's beauty or form in the spring and summer, If you don't have a willow in your yard, a walk in the woods should lead to a suitable plant. Don't cut too many wands off any one plant. A few from each will not hurt, and will leave plenty for nature's own show.

This refers to a situation where a Minister may work part or full time in some secular oc- cupation, and also be minister of a Church at a reduced salary.

Anniversary of doctor's death Sixty-nine years ago, Sunday, March 12 was recalled by the older citizens of this village of the tragedy of the drowning of Dr, Frank Turnbull, then a young Auburn physician, He had made plans to go to Goderich by canoe at the time of the spring flood, The ice had broke up and had gone down the river and the Maitland was high- er than it had been for many years. Dr, Turnbull left Auburn about 11;00 a, m, by canoe and all went well until he reached the C, N, R. . at Goderich when he waved to some workmen: He lost control of the canoe and it upset throwing him into the icy water. He clung to it but passed away shortly after being rescued, A.C.W. holds auction The monthly meeting of the Anglican Church Women was held on Thursday, March 9, instead of Wednesday owing to the inclement weather on that day.

It is obvious from a study of 'snowmobile accidents where the major problem lies. Fa the past three seasons accidents, both fatal and non fatal, have occurred on public thorough- fares, Any experienced snowmo- biles will vouch for the fact that this machine is extremely diffi- cult to control on the hard -pack- ed and often icy surfaces of well - travelled roadways. In addition, there is the extreme hazard of close proximity with motor ve- hicle traffic, A high percentage of these public thoroughfare acc- idents occurred on county and Shower held Mrs. Jack Bosman held a miscellaneous shower for Miss Geraldine Dennis, R. N. of Hamilton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Dennis of Stratford, formerly of the Walton area. Among those attending in addition to the McKillop Unit were Mrs. Clifford Ritchie, R, R. #3, Walton; Miss. Ruth Ritchie, R. N. of Hamilton; Miss Ethel Dennis, Seaforth; Mrs. Naval Stimore, Egmond- ville and Miss Teenie, Dennis of Seaforth. township roads where the control of snowmobile use was designated as a municipal responsibility by the Motorized Snow Vehicles Act, 1968, Unfortunately, fa the wel- fare of snowmobilers and the , good of the industry, too few municipalities have responded to this responsibility. A further study of snowmobile accidents shows a woeful lack of knowledge on the part of snowmobile operators on how to properly operate or control their machines or of their legal responsibilities, The snowmobile is a motorized vehicle and operators should have training the same as required for any other motor - ized vehicle, These are some of the serious problems facing the proposed government committee on snowmobile legislation, It is the hope of the League that this committee will take into consideration the opinions of safety organizations and the snowmobile industry as a whole and take measures to restrict the use of snowmobiles on public thoroughfares and make provision for an adequate program of operator training, • • III I I SOLD IT THROUGH THE WANT ADS Used Car Savings 1970 SPORTS SATELLITE 4 -door Sedan, 8 automatic, power steering with radio, 1969 PLYMOUTH 4 -door, 8 automatic, radio, 1969 CHRYSLER 4 -door, Hardtop, power steering, power brakes radio, 1968 CORONET S00 Convertible. 1968 CHRYSLER 4 -door Sedan, power steering, brakes and radio, 1968 CHRYSLER 2 -door Hardtop. 1968 PLYMOUTH 4 -door, 8 automatic, radio, 1968 FALCON 2 -door, 6 automatic with radio, 1967 DODGE Monaco 2 -door Hardtop, 8 automatic, power steering, brakes and radio, 1967 VOLKSWAGEN, radio, 1967 PLYMOUTH 4 -door, Automatic. 1967 PLYMOUTH 4 -door, Standard, 1966 FORD 4 -door Sedan, 8 automatic, power steering with radio, 1965 FORD 4 -door, automatic, with radio.

Artificial maple syrup must be labeled "artificially fla- vored" or carry a name such as "pancake syrup" or "table syrup" to avoid the possibility of deceiv- ing the consumer, say food spec- ialists at the Ontario Food Coun- cil, Ontario Department of Agric- ulture and Food, To obtain true maple products, check the label for the word "maple". Federal regulations forbid its use to describe syrup, sugar, taffy, or creams that are not pure maple products. Grading maple syrup is not com- pulsory, although standards have been set by Federal legislation. Canada Fancy, difficult to obtain, has the lightest color and mild- est flavor. Canada Light and Can- ada Medium are slightly . darker and have a stronger flavor. The fourth grade, Canada Dark, has the darkest color. It typically has the strongest flavor and is permitt- ed a trace of fermentation. Choice of grade depends on the consumer's flavor and color pre- ferenc es. Cola of syrup is difficult to control. Sap flows from the tree crystal clear. The lightest grades are usually produced early in the season, when temperatures are lower, Warm temperatures increase the likelihood of ferment- ation and promote microbial growth. Microbial growth is not harmful, but forms a by-product called invert sugar which affects syrup color. Longer boiling time also darkens color.

B.C. forests produce three true firs: Abies Amabilis, Abies Grandis, and Abies Lasiocarpa (Amabilis fir,. Grand fir, and Alpine fir). The renowned Doug- las Fir, often called false Hem- lock or Pseudotsuga taxifolia, is not a true fir. Cones on the Douglas fir hang down, while in true firs the cone stands up- right on the branch. Storing maple syrup Maple syrup needs careful stor- age to retain its true flavor. Food. specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, suggest storing it in a cool dry place un- til opened, Once opened, store it tightly resealed in the refriger- ator, Syrup festivals in March and April offer maple syrup 'in gallon, half -gallon, quart and pint containers. Large.quantities are best divided into small quan- tities for storage. To prevent fermentation and mold growth, heat the syrup to 1800 and pour into sterilized jars. For long-term storage, leave a headspace in the containers and freeze, One possible storage problem is a sugary crust which forms on the syrup. This is removed by heating gently until the crystals dissolve. A surface mold is a more difficult problem as the flavor of the syrup is tainted. Mold is not harmful, and can be carefully skimmed from the surface to a depth that is free from tainted flavor. Douglas Fir is the largest tree in Canada. It is known to reach heights greater than 300 feet with diameters up to fifteen feet. The trunk is sttaight and free of limbs . for seventy feet= and more. The heavy, strong wood produced from Douglas Fir trees is ideal for large size structural timbers, and is ob- tainable clear from defect for a wide range of other uses, FOOD $nell's MARKET Phone 523-9332 We Deliver MAXWELL HOUSE GROUND COFFEE 1 LB1/87 ROBIN HOOD QUICK OATMEAL 5 LB./69 BRIGHT'S FANCY TOMATO JUICE OR APPLE JUICE 48 oz. 3 FOR $1.00 STOKELY'S HONEY POD PEAS 14 oz, 4 FOR 794 LIBBYS DEEP BROWN BEANS WITH PORK 19 OZ. 3 FOR 794 LEE'S CRUSHED or TIDBIT PINEAPPLE 19 oz. 3 FOR 794.

Throw in some deliberate slashing, tripping, kneeing, butt -ending and a couple of fights, and you have the pic- ture of young Canada play- ing its national game. Admittedly, the game is faster and more furious than ever, But furious is a word that does not belong in sport, unless you think pro- fessional boxing is a sport, which it is not, in my opinion, In vain do the coaches of high school teams tell their charges to play hard but clean. The kids have watch- ed too much pro hockey, where most of the fans, like spectators in a Roman arena, want blood, and the pros oblige, The only thing that re- deems the spectacle — and it is a spectacle, not a game •- is the fact that there are usually one or two players on each team who still be- lieve in skill rather than violence and who use their heads for something besides butting, These are the players who emerge as the team leaders, even though some of the -"wild men" may have more natural ability. These are the players who almost never get a penalty, who walk away from a stupid fight rather than look for one, who put some spark in- to the team when it is be- hind, A pleasure to watch. And thenthere are the others. Kids who are plea- sant and well-mannered off the ice, but go berserk the minute the first whistle blows. One of them expressed his philosophy to mc; "Yah. Yer sposeta drop yer stick when.a fight starts, but yuh don't drop it till the other guy drops his." And,. of course, if the other guy is following the same princi- ple, there could be stick - swinging match, Put four feet of hard- wood in the hands of two young huskies, let them start swinging their clubs, and you have a situation more deadly than many of the duels of history, fought with lethal weapons. It's about as quick a way as any to wind up with a smashed nose, a permanent scar, a concussion, a skull fracture, or one eye. In my opinion, 'a great deal of the blame for the situation lies with the refer- `Dirty' players get the laurels ees, They seem to be brain- washed into letting anything go, short of chopping a head off with a stick. The game is faster and more "colourful" that way, And the colour is that of blood, The goalie used to be protected by a sort of mu- tual consent. He was slower and more vulnerable be- cause of his heavy padding. You took your shot, and if he stopped it, skated around him. Now, he comes out to stop a shot and is quite like- ly to get a mouthful of high stick, Result? The goalie starts playing dirty, to pro- tect himself. Maybe I'm just old- fashioned, But when I play- ed team sports — football, hockey, baseball . — there were one or two "dirty" players on each team, Caught in the act, they were penalized and ostracised, Nowadays, you have to look hard to find one or two "clean".players on each team, And it's the "dirty" players who get the roars from the crowd, This is fact, and it's fact that is sobering, saddening and sickening. ACTION ADS L010.el. 4.747 THE BLYTH STANDARD, March 15, 1972. PG, 15, ReDori from Queen's Party by MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. Ontario Place will raise its ad- mission fees because it lost $2, 2 million during its first year of operation, Admission for adults will rise from $1, to $1, 50 while fees for students will increase from 50¢ to 75¢, Those over 65 and under. 12 will continue to be admitted free. Minister of Trade and Indust- ry, John White said he was not satisfied with the first year's per- formance which meant that al- most $1, per head was lost for each one of the 2, 300,000 per- sons who visited the site, He said several changes, in- cluding hiring a full time man- ager, plus construction of addit- ional facilities, were planned, Mr, White said he hoped the increase in admission fees would generate an additional $600,000 in revenue, and this year Ontar- io Place's deficit should be cut to between $275,000 and $650, 000, The Government promised one year ago that it would provide coverage for nursing homes with the exception of $3. 50 per day. This week, the Minister of Health, Dr, Richard Potter said that nursing home operators will lose their licences if they refuse to participate in the Governments progra mme, The Minister said that to en sure enough beds are available for all eligible patients when the programme startspwe must in- sist that all licenced nursing homes participate, Nursing home operators held a private meeting Monday at the Skyline Hotel at which they debated refusing to participate in the Government programme unless they receive a minimum of $14, 50 instead of $12, 50 a day for each standard ward patient. Dr. Potter said the Government wants 75% of the beds made avail- able for nursing care with 60% of these for standard ward care and only 15% reserved for private and semi private patients, The Minister said that 25% of the beds may be allocated to people who need only retirement care, but 60% of these too must be at standard rates with only 15% reserved for private and semi -private patients, The Throne Debate is contin- uing and will possibly conclude next week, The main partici- pants this week were Robert Nixon, Leader of the Opposition and N, D, P. Leader Stephen Lewis.

Well, the pleading look in Tom's eyes was too much to bear and I had two dollars in my pocket (not a usual occur- ance let me assure you), so I put on the big act and bought both. I went home feeling ' warm knowing I had done my civic duty for a community organization but feeling cold for the lack of the two bills in my pocket that I figured I'd never see again, Tom called on Sunday after- noon and broke the news to me that I'd won the $50, I took the news well, better than if, say, someone phoned to say. your mother-in-law was on the way to visit. Visions sprang into my head of how I could spend the windfall, Of course the visions were coming even faster to my wife's head on how she could put the money to use, Later, though, when I started thinking about it, I began to wonder if the Lions had rigged the whole thing to let me win, Why? Well, everyone in business who is meeting people all the time knows how hard it is to say "no" when a customer, or potential customers say "Wanna buy a ticket"? It just isn't done without a mighty good excuse, But.the one excuse I've always had for fending off at least a few of the requests has been that "I'vc never won a thing in I my life", And it's true; I never had. Pll be_ t that $50. doesn't come near the amount Pve laid out, over the years on var- ious tickets of various clubs in various places: But now, in one fell swoop, the Lionshaveruined that one little excuse I.did have, Froni now on I'll be a target for every fund-raising drive in the county because people will know that I'M defenceless, And, here's a little wager. Two -bits says I never win again. Hmmm, probably won't even collect on that bet. Back into the past through The Standard's old files 5 years ago March 8, 1967 The postponed Blyth L ions Club ice carnival took place •last Friday evening in the local arena. The event drew a very fine attendance of district children and a fairly good crowd of adults. At the monthly meeting of the Blyth Municipal Council, John Manning, George Radford, William Hull, Edward Watson and councillor George Hubb- • and be appointed to a comm- ittee to purchase and have in- stalled an artificial ice plant for the Blyth arena.. It was reported in the same issue that the drive for funds for the project was almost completed with only $2500. still needed. 10 years ago March 14, 1962 Blyth firemen were again called on by Wingham for assistance last Thursday morn- ing when fire broke out in the CKNX Radio and TV station. The call came in at 6:30, a. m. and the local firemen made the anile run to Wingham and had three hoses to the fire in ,(ecord time. The fire start- ed after an explosion in the electronics lab, and within minutes flames had made their way to the top of the older portion of the building which was formerly the Wingham High School. Signs of spring are beginn- ing to appear around the coun- tryside and with them comes the hope of an early spring. Ben Riley, R.R. #1, Londesboro, reported seeing a groundhog on Thursday morning, March 8, behind Burns Church in Hullett township. Since it will take most of a year to construct the one and one-half million dollar Vocat- ional addition to the Clinton District Collegiate Institute and since construction will probably not start until May, the Vocational addition to C. D. C. I. will NOT be open to classes until Sept. 1963. The Hullett Federation of Agriculture held their reg- ular meeting in Londesboro with a good attendance. Mr. Carl Hemingway, Federation fieldman was present and showed a film on "Farm Safety" which was enjoyed by everyone. 20 years ago - March 12; 1952 Tools, stolen some time during the weekend from the Blyth C.P.R. tool house, are believed the ones used by thieves to gain access to buildings at Dublin and Mitchell on Monday night. John W. Hanna, M. P. P. of Wingham, made one of his frequent stops in Blyth on Sat- urday morning: He was on his way to the Sed Fair at Clinton. Working in the bush one day recently, Mr. Alvin Snell of Westfield, accompanied by a neighbour, Mr. Hugh Wharton, saw a bird which they described as a bald eagle. The bird had a pure white head and tail, and was about the size of a hen, Mr. Snell believes they are quite rare, at least it was the first one he had ever contacted, An accident, which might easily have resulted in more serious injury occurred just north of the C. P, R. railway tracks about 5 p. m, Wednesday afternoon of last week. The accident involved a car driven by Mr. Walter McGill, and a 6 -year-old boy, Sydney Gregory, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gregory. The lad, in company with his sister, Emma, and brother, Freddie, ran across the high- way from their father's garage, just as Mr. McGill was coming south in his car. Mr, McGill applied the brakes but the icy conditions prevailing at the time kept his car in motion until the bumper struck the boy. Mr. McGill turned the wheel sharply at the moment,of impact and the victim passed under the car between the two front wheels, but came out the side between the front wheel and the rear wheel, which may have saved him from more serious enjury. The boy was immediately given medical attention and his injuries were pronounced not serious. 30 years ago March 11, 1942 The statistics compiled by the County Clerk in the East Wawanosh farm survey showed an assessed acreage of 41,728, Assessed valuation was $2,006,058, Population was 1,148. There were 787 work horses in the township, 786 dairy cows and 511 brood sows. There were 66 tractors, 31 on steel and 35 on rubber. Messrs. George and Ted Cowan undoubtedly opened the local fishing season this year. Last week these two gentlemen went fishing on the pond south of Earl Bent - idyls and report a nice string of chub for their efforts. The chub were lured through a hole cut in the ice, with the assistance of a hook and a piece of fat pork. A very pleasant evening was spent by the Bird and , Nature Club at the farm home of Mr. Fred Toll, Sr, , last Thursday evening. This club organized last fall by Dr, - Oakes, has been gaining in interest and now includes members from Blyth as well as the surrounding community. ' AMAT2N IS X11' A ToY. RUES, HURONDEAD: .
