several. .
The county's only yard was
centrally located in Clinton

Clinton yard caused the Hog
Marketing Board to shift the

outraged complaints from far-
mers in the north -central part

travel many miles out of their
way to ship their hogs, thus
adding to their expense.

nsanity on the loose
On the weekend, there were more than S0 -major strikes in
_ 'Canada, the biggest being the nation-wide rail strike; • Even
if the rail strike is ended, there is a chance it will be on ..
again within a week as other rail unions, go on strike,
The various strikes have resulted in garbage piling high in
Hamilton parks due to a strike in that city by garbage men;
hundreds of tourists stranded on Vancouver•Island due to a
ferry strike; food rotting andtoursiti 'stranded in'Newfound-
land and Prince Edward Island because of the strike against
Canadian National which runs the East Coast ferry service
and Canada's export trade in wheat, newsprint and foodstuffs
being threatened as railway workers strike,
And what good does it do? Very little re.ally, Railway
workers will have to work'f'r along time at their new rates
to make up for the money they lost while on strike, The
companies w ill lose nearly as much money during the shut=
down of their operations during the strike as they would__.,
have to pay in increased wages anyway. • •
In this'day and age we are so ready to tear down old buil-
dings and make new, so ready to discard old forms of govern-
ment and -draft new, so busy getting rid" of the old and bring-
ing in new, yet we continue to pay lipservice to this archaic
way of labour -management negotiations for wage increases.
Far from finding a better system, we have been making
things, worse by allowing more and more public servants to.,
'strike,
Strikes at one time in the past were a weapon required by
the working man who was being manipulated by unscrupulous
employers, -Those were in the days, however, when both
company and union were small, . At worst, 'aistrike could have
bad effects on the economy of.a-single town or city that
depended heavily on a particular industry,
Today, though, a few major companies control moat
manufacturing and transportation industries in the land and •
an even fewer number of unions control the workers. Battles
between these huge forces can virtually cripple the nation,
To continue to say this kind of confrontation situation is
good and allow it to continue is insanity.
All political parties now go along with the right to strike_
and and who can blame them with millions of votes of union
members on the line. But somehow, someday soon, one of.
the parties is going to have to have the guts to come out
with an alternative to strikes, an alternative that not only
saves the whole nation from grief every time the rail workers
or dock workers or autoworkers go on strike, but will also
protect the rights of the worker.
No doubt such a policy will be unpopular in some quarters.
Many workers, especially the militant kind who love the
feeling of power a strike gives them, will fight it. They
will see the loss of slanting powers as a blow against unions,
no matter how fair the proposal is. Many companies, on
the other hand, will fear the plan will give unions the edge.
But though these vocal groups will protest the general
public will likely applaiid loud and long ands show'their `
support at the polls. Most of us are so weary of strikes that
we'd change parties on the drop of the hat if the other. party
came out with such a• platform,
Sounds Tike
a good time
The Blyth Fall Fair is dead. This weekend, a baby suc-
cessor will arise.
The decision of the directors of the Agricultural Society
early this year was to discontinue the Fall fair this year bec-
ause of declining attendance and declining participation on
the part of the general public in planning and staging of the
event,
They have come up with a smaller scale replacement that
will be held for the first time this weekenl. The event will
be centred around the 4-H Achievement Day on Saturday
afternoon and the big pork barbecue on Saturday evening.
The big day of activity will include f urn far young and old
and introduce a couple of new games to Canada Mom H ollald,
From the plans released, it sounds like a lot of fun for every-
one. The only missing ingredient is people; the same mis-
sing link that killed the fiar in the first place.
Hopefully, the local people will turn out and enjoy them-
selves and help turn this event into a big success which can
build in the years ahead into a major community event,.
In regard to repairs to Memorial Hall:
1 feel more money should not be expended on the building ;
I feel the building is too important to Blyth not to be
repaired, . OOOOOOOOOOOO OO .11.• te.

Never underestimate the
power of the. press. That's 'an
oft -quoted saying in newspaper
circles generally with tongue-.
- in -cheek, But, every once in'a
long while the truth of that'
statement is,, pounded home in
a most dramatic way,_ and it
happened again this week when
a huge _brown envelope reached'
my desk marked The United
Church of Canada, Division of
Communication.
You guessed it, It was a letter
in connection with a column I
wrote not long ago quoting from
The United Church Observer and
discussing the trend toward
"shacking up" , , ; , , , or for you
who don't know the lingo, living
together without benefit of
clergy,
1 suppose that has been the
most controversial column I've
written for some time. It has
• sparked the greatest amount,of
comment I've heard in a long
time about From My Window,
and .much to my surprise, a good
deal of it was most favorable.
The letter on r y desk today
waslftom Norman K. Vale,
Director ofNews Services for The
United Church of Canada, He
writes that while the news rel-
ease to which I referred was
written by him, it had failed to
mention the fact that' The Obser-
ver Editor, Rev. A.C. Forest,
had made editorial comment in
the same issue disagreeing with
the author, Barrie Zwicker.
Enclosed in the envelope was
a copy of the July Observer, the
second such magazine to come
into my possession since the
column hit the street, The first
one came from .an acquaintence
who apparently reads The
Window faithfully. With both
copies came the gentle admon-
ishment "infairness to Dr, For -
rest"
And now, turning out attention
to Dr. Forrest's editorial we read;
"This move -to co -habiting with-
out marriage, which.is apparent-
ly increasing in our society, is
by no means new. There are
many places in the world today
where the chief or obvious dif-
ference between a Christian
and non-Christian home is that
. the parents are married, and
that husband and wife have as-
sumed a life-long responsibility
to each other and to their chil-
dren."
Dr, Forrest continues: I'One•
thing that seems to be; overlooked
'nail this discussion is the trem-
endous, almost overpowering
influence_ of -many in our society
-who live in open immorality and
see m.almost.evangelical'in their'
desire to -impose their life-style
upon others. While we respect
the apparent honesty among the
young people in the ir,relation-
ships, they should be aWare that
in some of their attitudesthey
simply reflect the insecurity of
our chaotic society." Because
mother and dad did not measure
up to what they preached,or now
,hope for their children, is no.
valid reason for *heir children
to choose lower standard S." •
Dr.. Forrest concludes; "Among
the -many -foundations for heal-
thy human relationships are con-
tinence outside marriage and
fidelity within a relationship that
involves a lifetime commitment.
The erosionof these foundations
are, we believe, a threat to all
that is good in our society, We
fear they are being eroded fast."
Amen. And again I say Amen,
Not long ago, 1 had a rather
long and somewhat heated discus-
sion with aminister. (1 hesitiate
to say from what faith) over this
same question. This man gave
me every argument in the book
for young people setting up house-
keeping together without being
married first, They were all
the`same arguments I've heard
over and over from the young
people with whom I've come in
contact over the years.
Just when I thought this ,min-
ister had taken leave of his
•sines - Just when I was about
ready to scream with frustration
at the blatant way in which he
was twisting Cod's.Holy Word -
he made a statement which is
so much akin to Dr, Forrest's ,
editorial comment that I' m
amazed.
My minister friend said, "If
a young couple comes to me to
be married 1 tell them I'm not
in the business of marrying people.
Irtell them if they want to set up
a Christian home, 1 can help
them.... otherwise I'm no mir-
acle worker."
I guess that's just about what
it boils down to then .... a ques-
tion of whether or not young
couples (or older ones) want to
set up a Christian home built on
Christian principles, If young-
sters get married just to live to-
gether, to sleep together, to eat
together, to spend their time to-
gether, there's no real need to be
married. But a Christian home is
another matter . , , , another -
matter indeed,

NDP CAUCUS MEETS
At the end of 'a two-day

bread
▪ 'direct more money into
housing and cut mortgage in-
terest rates
• provide immediate Fa-
mily Allowance increases, in-
crease ' basic pensions and
allowances to veterans and
others on fixed incomes.
Mr. Lewis laid down no
ultimatum nor did he insist
the Government adopt all the
measures. But he did call for
an early •return of Parliament
to deal with inflation.

Huron Country Playhouse presents
its final play of the season this
week,
A new Canadian comedy, The
Hand That Cradles The Rock is
the new work of Edmonton play-
wright, Warren Graves, It's a
whacky comedy about liberation
in which the husband, an unsucc-
essful writer;` remains at Home
doing housework and tending the
baby, while the wife is holding
down the big job, A11 would be
fine, presumably, if the wife
didn't make so many business
trips out of town, and if a part-
icularly attractive and a rather
old fashioned (unliberated)
young lady didn't appear on the
scene at exactly the right (or
wrong?)'moment, It's a hilar-
ious series of confusions that
will keep you laughing.

Question: We'd like to do
something ,to "dress up" the
basement in our new house
without too much expense;
The basement isn't painted,
tiled, or finished in any way,
Any suggestions? .
Answer A good high -gloss
paint made especially for con-
crete floors will do wonders
for the appearance of base-
ments at minimal cost. I rec-
ommend Tremco Colortread
concrete paint. It's a rubber -
base paint that seals out
dampness and provides a dur-
able, high -gloss finish , that
looks great. And, if you de-
cide to tile later on, you can
put down the tile right over
Colortread with no special
preparation.
To apply Colortread con-
crete paint,_ just make the
floor as dry and dust -free as
possible. No primer is need-
ed, and one coat will cover
uness your floor is very por-
ous. In that case, a second
coat is recommended.
You can make the job go
fester by applying Colortread
with a long -handled roller.
And it dries in just two hours
to a durable gloss finish that's
easy to keep clean with a
damp mop. Colortread also
, : prevents musty basement od-
ours by sealing out moisture
and dampness. And it stops
concrete -floor "dusting" prob-
lems.

PRAYER EXPLAINED,
BY REV, H, W, KROEZE, BLYTH
Dr, 0. Hallesby, in his book entitled PRAYER, explains
prayer in these simple words:
"" Jesus conies to a sinner, awakens him from his sleep in
sin, converts him, forgives him his sins and makes him His
child, Then He takes the weak hand of the iner and places
it in His own strong, nail -pierced hand and .,,ys: "Come
now, I am -going with you all the way and will bring you
safely home to heaven. If you ever get into trouble cr dif-
ficulty, just tell me about it. I will give you, without re-
proach, everything you need, and more besides, day by day,
as long as you live,
'From this it is very apparent that the child of God can
grieve Jesus in no worse way than by neglecting prayer!
For by so doing he severs the connection between himself
and the Saviour, and his .inner life is doomed to be withered
and cripp' 1, as is the case with most of us. -
Many m,;lecr prayer to such an extent'th it their spiritual
life gradually dies out. I seem to hear some d the.pitter
sorrow which proceeds from the heart of God when He is
compelled to say to us, .""Ye have not because ye ask not, II -

Insurance
/plan revised
The Crop Insurance Comm-
ission, Ontario. Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, has
made revisions in the Winter
Wheat insurance plan sit
Ontario wheat growers, The
plan purchased by over 1300
wheat growers in 1972, will
provide for increased reseed-
ing benefits in the event of
winterkill and three price
options to suit'the individual
needs of .'e farmer. The final
datelor plications is within
10 days of the completion.of
seeding, but no later than
October 20,
The costs involved in get-
ting a crop planted are inc-
reasing. Accordingly, the
reseeding benefit for winter -
kill has been increased from
$7 per acre to $10 per acre,
The revised plan introduces
price options, so that the
farmer may choose the level
of insurance to best cover his
individual production costs,
Under the plan, a farmer
Your receives a production guar -
At your service At sery ice antee of at least 70 per cent
' of his average farm yield,
and up to a maximum of 80 per
cent of his average farm yield
depending on his claim exper-
ience. Should the farmer's
production for the farm fall be-
low his production guarantee,
the insurance pays for the dif-
ference at either $1 per bushel,
$1, 50 perbushel, or $2 per bus-
hel, depending on the option
chosen.
The costs of this insurance to
the farmer are 41, 60 per acre for
the $1 price option, $2. 30 per
acre for the $1. 50 price option,
and $3 per acre fcr the $2 price
option. The cost of the reseed-
ing benefit is included in these
prices.
4 The quality factor in the win-
ter wheat plan has not been
? changed. if the quality of the
• wheat harvested is less than
1
Grade three because of an in-
surable hazard, the yield is ad-
justed to account for the reduc-
ed value of the crop, Hence,
a crop of average yield may be
eligible for a claim if the qual-
ity is poor.
For more details on the revi-
sed Crop Insurance plan fcr

contact the local Crop insurance
Agent in their area a the Crop

increase costly
"The recent increase in the
price of fuel will cost Ontario
consumers an extra $5 -million
in grocery money, sr says Frank
Wall, vice-president, Ontario
Federation of Agriculture; Mr,
Wall referred to the announce-
ment August 22 by the Imperial
Oil Company Limited to increase
the cost of gas and diesel oil by
two cents a gallon and the price
of heating oil by 1,4 onets,
"This added cost is ultimately
passed on the consumer in the
price of food, I cannot be oth er-
wise,"
Farmers spent $53, S -million on
fuel for food production in 1970,
In 1973, farmers had to pay $60 -
million,
"That is an increase of $6. 5 -
million in just three years, Add
the $2, 5 -million price increase
announced today. The resulting
hikes,in the price of oil and gas
have added an extra $9 -million
to the farmers' costs of producing
food in just three years."
Wall notes that increases to the
• farmer are multiplied throughout
the food chain, thus doubling the
cost to consumers. "All suppliers
of farm inputs including mach-
inery, feed and fertilizer, all use
gasoline or diesel fuel, So do
processors, transporters and
wholesalers, The actual cost to

Price of
wheat up
A policy statement was made
by the Ontario Wheat Producers'
Marketing Board August 22nd
concerning the price of 1973
'.seat being sold as'seed.
Mr. Fergus Young, R, R. 1,
Ennismore, chairman of the mar-
keting board released the state-
ment as follows:
'"The Ontario Wheat Producers'
Marketing Board has established
the price of 1973 seed wheat sold
by the board to seed dealers at
$3.18 per bushel."
"The price of $3.18 applies to
wheat to be used in the domestic
seed market and is a firm price
until September 30, 1973."
Mr. Young said dealers are
entitled to add the usua?'.allowan-
ces for premiums and processing
to the established price of $3.18.
This rneans that producers
purchasing seed wheat should
satisfy themselves that the dif-
ference between the $3.18 and
,the price being asked by the dea-
ler is not inflated at unrealisitc
levels.
Mr. Young said there is evide-
nce that seed prices are being
inflated substantially because
of recent general price increases
in the markets for all commerc-
ial wheat.
The board chairman explained
that in previous years, seed has
sold at •ab',ut $1.50 over the
price of milling wheat and the
board of directors feel producers
should not be charged unrealis-
tic prices because of unusual
:;'irrent.market conditions.

Many gardening ,enthusiasts
know them as weeds, but such
common wild plants as goldenrod,
fall aster ror Michelmas daisy,
and the brown -eyed susan or Rud-

additions to your flower border,
if no one in the family suffers

•
When, oh, when are the
ticians and consumers in the
cities, going to realizethat the
way to bring about a higher
agricultural production is increa-
sed profits. Basically, a farmer
is not that much different from
anyone else. If he makes more
money by increasing production,
he will do just that. On the'
other hand, the modern farmer
vill decrease production if it is
unprofitable, Lower production
means higher prices and more
production means lower prices.
It is as simple as that.
*****
The recent ban on export of •
meats did apparently have an
immediate effect on the price
farmers receive for their cattle
and hogs. It also tends to create
uncertainty in the•minds of
farmers. First we fight, on the
urging of government, to secure
markets for our meats. Then,
when we have the markets, the
government steps in and takes
them away from us. Is it any '
wonder that farmers are leery to
increase production, if the rug
can be pulled from under us at
any time, because the big city
press is hollering, The odd thing
about all this is, that when
cattle prices went up, the meat
George Gear retires
George Gear, Director of
Program Analysis for the Min-
istry of Agriculture and Food
will retire September 30, 1973
after nearly 35 years of service
with the Ministry. His retire-
ment was announced by Honour-
able William A. Stewart, Min-
ister of Agriculture and Food.
David B. George has been appo-
inted to succeed Mr, dear,
A graduate of the Ontario •
Agricultural College at Guelph,
Mr. Gear became a lecturer
there in 1938. In 1939 he mov-
ed to Bruce County where he
served as agricultural represent-
ative until 1970, when he was
appointed Director for the newly
created Program Analysis Branch
in the Ministry's head office in
Toronto,
As co-ordinator of the Branch,
Mr. Gear assisted in Bevel,ping
and implementing eplanning,
progra mmbig , and budgeting
system to meet the specialized
needs of the Ministry to achieve
higher standards of program ef-
fectiveness.
In commenting on Mr. Gear's
service with -the Ministry, Mr.
Stewart said ',George Gear epit-
omized the ideal agricultural
extension worker: Throughout
the years in Bruce County he has
demonstrated a unique ability
to motivate people to undertake
self-help and self-improvement
programs,'! Mr. Gear pioneered
the present concept of farm
management counselling and or-
ganized the first Farm Manage-
ment Clubs in the Province.
'1!n encouraging pasture imp-
rovement, the use of farm rec-
ords, and the 'establishment of
farm family agreements, Geor-
ge Gear generated confidence
among the people with whom
he worked. This experience
has been most useful to the Min-
istry during the three years he has
served in our head office, He has
set a high standard for agricult-
ural,representatives in•Ontario,
and particularly for the young
men who were fortunate enough
to work with him in Bruce County
over the years. ti
Hay insurance
available.
Fall is the time to buy crop
insurance for your hay crop. In
the past, crop insurance for for-
ages was sold in the spring, but
under the new Hay Plan introdu-
ced to replace the old forage
plan by the Crop Insurance Com-
mission, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, sales will
be made in September and Oot-
`ober. The final application date
is November 1.
This new hay plan allows the'
farmer to insure his hay crop
against all the natural hazards
which may reduce the amount
of hay he puts intb the barn.
Winterkill of hay stands, espec-.
ially clovers, is a particular
hazard and so the insurance sho-
uld be purchased in the fa1L
Under the plan, the farmer
receives a production guarantee
of a certain weight of hay per •
acre on all his hay acreage. if
his yield falls below this prod-
uction guarantee, because of an
insurable hazard, the Crop Ins-
urance Commission pays for the
difference at $20 per ton.
This hay plan is available to
farmers in all hay growing areas
in Ontario. The cost is a very
reasonable $1.25 per acre,
counter price went up at the •
same time, even when the meat
on the counter ,was still purchas-
ed at the old lower price. Now
that the cattle price went down ,
the consumer has to wait till
this lower priced meat geti to
the counter, before he gets the
benefit. Some chains admitted
that their price was too high and
would be lowered immediately,
According to newspaper consumer
reports, the more expensive cuts
were lowered in price, but the
relatively inexpensive meats
were increased in price at the
same time, I don't understand
why`Ottawa's consumers affairs
department was not deluged with
- complaints.

GOOD News forProtein
ers. -
In response to an unprecedented rise in natural protein costs, C" -OP has
developed IPS as a safe and convenient method of incorporat g non pro
tein nitrogen into feeding programs. This product has been a oroughly
field tested through years of research and marketing exper'ence gained
through American co-operatives.
CO-OP LPS is formulated to ensure that the ingredie s do not settle out
and that it does not ferment in storage. For these easons CO-OP LPS
contains more molasses per ton than most comp: tive product and less
water than any other product available.
CO-OP IPS is designed to appeal to feede
1) Lower feed costs
2) T9 feel safe in using hi
3) To provide protein to a
acement heifers.
4) A more automated
5) A trouble-free
who want --
urea levels
mals previously neglected, eg, repl-
ed system
m
The following pages give . brief description of the product and its tech-
nical features. It was • • signed to provide feeders with a high quality
supplement which wil perform as well as any dry product can and provide
a lower feed cost. • -OP LPS will provide lower costs with no let -down
in performance an indeed an improved performance where nutrition was
a limiting factor
The feeder us g CO-OP LT'S can,now incorporate NPN into his ration with
no fears of adequate mixing or energy imbalance, The urea contained
in LPS wi •e converted to protein with maximum safety and efficiency.
Not only ill a feeder be able to feed a lower cost -ration but he will be
able to automate his system for a very low cost. Tanks and plumbing
equient necessary to automate a liquid feed system can all be purchased
thr• gh your local co-operative, and can be installed on the farm ready
1. use at a very reasonable price,
See your CO-OP Representative for further information concerning stor-
age and feeding systems.

What to do
when freezer
stops
At his time of year, flash
storms often account for
,power failitrres which may cause
endlessprbblems forthe,freezer
owner. Food specialists at the
Ontario Food Council, Ministry
of Agriculture and Food offer
sound advice as to whether to re -
freeze or discard the food in
such an emergency,
The general rule "don't re -
freeze" appears on most com-
mercially frozen food packages
and is still the best advice,
However, foods which you have
frozen and have partially thaw-
ed, including vacuum pack-
aged meat such as bacon, ham,
and weiners, can be safely re -
frozen if there are ice crystals
still present. /This rule also
applies to fruit, fruit pies,
fruit juice concentrates, meat,
poultry, fish, vegetables and
"boil in bag" vegetables.
What is the fate of food
which is completely thawed, but
still very cold`to the touch? It
can all be safely refrozen, with
exceptions. The first except-
- ion is vacuum packaged "boil
in bag" vegetables which should
be removed from their original
package, cooked and eaten
immediately or removed from
the package, cooked, repacka-
• ged and refrozen. Another
exception is commercially
frozen soups requiring no fur-
ther cooking. They should
be discarded.
Food held at roomtempera-
tnre (68 to 72 degrees) for
not longer than two hours, such
as meat, poultry, and vege-
tables should be cooked imm-
ediately and eaten, or cooked
and refrozen: Vacttum pack-
aged meat and fish should not
be refrozen. Instead cook
immediately and eat, Horne-
made soups should be heated
'thoroughly and eaten, or hea-
ted and refrozen. Fruit, fruit
pies, and fruit juice concen-
trates:can.be safely refrozen,
If a fully loaded freezer
stops operating, food will stay
frozen about two days.' Food
in a partially loaded freezer
will stay frozen for one day.
If your freezer will'not be op-
erating:within one or two days,
place -dry ice (2S to SO pounds)
in the. freezer to hold the '
temperature down for two to
four days,

BY W, JENE MI LIER
It's time to CROSS -examine
the Church!
When a witness is on the
stand in the cpurts'of law and
justice, the opposition has a
right to corss-examine in finding
the true evidence, And the Ch-
urch needs to stand accountable
for its witness,
Christians have been hollering ,
about saving the world in the name_
of their Lord for two thousand
years, yet they have blessed,,more'
wars, butchered more babies,
bombed more women and built
more weaponry than all the non-
Christians put together,
The followers of the Nazarene
have persecuted the very people
who gave the world their Master,
they have enslaved those for
whom Christ died, they have kept
in ignorance'the children for
whom: the Kingdom of God is
made,azad they have stored up the
vast wealth with which Cod inten-
ded them to build schools, hos-
pitals, irrigation systems and
clean cities!
Too many people outside the
Church have given up on it; and
too many people inside the Chur-
ch have given up on their Cod,
They have trusted the gods of
wealth, status and power, and
put their money where their
,greed is,
Those outside the member-
ship stay away because they
think the Church cannot pull
off its promises of reconciliation
as those inside the membership
stay away because th', think
God cannot pull off his promises
of wholeness and redemption,
The Cross of Jesus Christ as the
Ultimate Life -Style is folly to
those professing religion ("It isn't
practical to love your enemies
or pray for those who persecute
you or turn the other cheek, or
feed the indigent,")
The Cross is a stumblir ; block
to those trying' to figure a reason
why Jesus was fa="hful even unto
crucifixion ("He was neurotic;
he was suicidal; he was a violent
revolutionary; he was from a
frustrated minority; he was God's
Son so he didn't really suffer.")
We have en using Jesus to
save us fro, ,in instead of from
sinning)

The mighty . Moose River
roiling itsway to Artie
tidewater may not qualify as
everyone's river of golden
dreams but it could serve as
a good substitute until the
real thing comes along, The
advantage of the Moose is
that you can do it now, You
can ride down the river, 40
miles from Moose River
Crossing to a wilderness
camp any Tuesday,' Thur.
sday, or Sunday throughout
the summer, Your five hour
trip is carried out in 18 ft,
freighter canoe with an
experienced Indian helm-
sman to guide your boat
'through the rapids, There is
usually five stops on the
journey to allow passengers '
a chance to stretch, fish and
view .the crystal clear
scenery at leisure,,
The wilderness camp is at
the junction of the Moose and
French rivers with James
Bay just over the horizon,
Visitors are accommodated
in heated plywood dor-
mitories, The food is plain
and plentiful and spiced with
nature's greatest condiment
• an outdoors appetite. A day
and a half of fishing, hiking
or sightseeing interspersed
with campfire tales of
trapping and northern living
ends with an hour's trip in a
Rupert House canoe to
Moosonee on James Bay.
The outgoing Polar Bear
Express leaves Moosonee at
6 p.m. and you arrive at
Cochrane to catch the
Toronto bound train at 10,45

tour, $14 return on Polar
Bear plus train fare or other
travel to Cochrane and
return. Routing to Moose
River is out of Toronto
overnight ,to Cochrane and

thland Railway out of
Cochrane the next morning.

Pencil°Sales.
Lteep,,,
Booming
Consider the lowly pencil.
It's the Plain Jane of
modernwriting, clearly
surpassed by the ubiquitous
hall pen and those gaudy felt
tips.
Yet the pencil, with a
history dating back to an-
cient Egypt, still holds its
own,.
More–than 50 million were
sold in Canada _last year, to
be used — not just by
schoolchildren — but, by
housewives, salesmen,
government workers and
even by captains of industry.
Also by crossword puzzle -
addicts, who prize the fact
pencils do not write
forevermore — their output
can be expunged, by the
convenient eraser at the
other end.
So pencil sales rumble on,
oblivious to high-powered
competition.
The technologidal step-
child remains successful in
the modern world,
Same Appearance
Because pencils haven't
changed that much, or so it
seems, from the ones
grandpa used 50 years ago._
They look just about the
same — strictly functional —
and the general principle
still calls for a strip :.of
graphite surrounded by
wood, metal or plastic.
So there's nothing new.

When you complain about improper advertising,
we do something about it. Fast. For example:
From the fi-les of the Advertising Standards- Council
One day a consumer sent us a "Magic Mouse" toy. She.eomplained that the
television advertising had csuggcrated the quality and performance of the product.
And after examining ,thc product an:, the advertising, we agreed.
This is the advertising rule. that mks broken:
"No adyertiscmcnt shall be prepared.. or be knowingly accepted, which
cOntains false. misleading..tinwarrantedor exaggerated claims – either• directly
or by implicatiim. Advertisers and' advertising agencies must be prepared to
substantiate their claims."
Here's what we did about it, immediately.\
• First .we phoned the television station that had run the "Magic Mouse"
commercial. They told us they had already cancelled the commercial because
of similar complaints.*ince the advertiser (a' U.S. cpntpany) did not reply tp
our inquiry, we issued an 'urgent' bulletin requesting all stations to contact us
before accepting advertising from this company. The "Magic Mouse" is no
longer advertised.
Keep this complaint notice. If you see dishonest or unfair advertising, send it to us.

Mrs, R. L. Davis, Mrs,Frank
Ryan and Miss Allison Lee,

The crowd gathered under the
shade of the whispering pines in
front of the house for a brief
ceremony. The Hon. Willibm
Stewart, Minister of Agriculture
and Food, brought greetings and
commended the Federated
Women's Institute of Ontario
for the great contribution it had
made to the growth of the in-
dividual member: in the com-
munities of Ontario, and now, in
acquiring the Home. for mem-
bers all over the world,

Well chaps, we
haven't been to The
Tower yet, norhave we
seen the Changingof the
Guards, and my wife was
looking out the wrong side
of the bus when we went
past Buckingham Palace,
But wedid have breakfast
in bed'gn Sunda y morning
and watched a dandy
America n western on TV,
so you might say we're
having a'.swinging time in
London town.\
This still has to be one
of the most exciting cities
in iihe world, despite its
basic ugliness. I rather
,expected to be disap-,
' pointed. 1 remembered
war -time London; hub of
the empire; streets alive
with young men in the
uniforms of fifty, different
forces; pubs Jammed;
nights electrifying with
promise despite blackout
and air raids; great theatre
despite the bombing.
It's not the same, of
course, but it's still tre-
mendously alive, at least
in the downtown core. I
know there are thousands
of acres of bleakness and
ugliness and even squalor
outside that, but the old
heart of the city is still
thumping away, as strong
as ever.
Despite all her pre-
monitions of disaster, 1
think I'm going to have to
use dynamite to get my
wife out of here and off
on our travels.
Her first impression
was one of horror, as we
drove in from the airport.
"I've never seen such a
dirty place!" And it is
pretty drab in the sub-
urbs; rows and rows of
grimy, grey housing,
interspersed by grubby
little shops and pizza
joints.
I couldn't blame her.
No woman is ecstatic
about anything after 4,000
miles of travel and about
twenty-six hours without
sleep. I.wasn't exactly
feeling like Tarzan
myself.
But she's almost fallen
in love with London. She
wouldn't want to live
here. Nobody in his right
mind would. But I could
spend a month out of each
year in this ancient pile of
stones and never tire of it.
London has something
for everyone, and perhaps
that's why everyone and
his wife and kids, seem to
be here, From every-
where. Walk along the
street and you'll hear ten
°..different tongues. Go into
a restaurant and the only
English you'll hear is from
the waiter, and you won't
understand him until the
third try, because he's
speaking West Indian
English,
If your kick is history,
it's right here, whispering
old tales and cold names.

Thomas More ;.; ip him

Henry could shack up,.

where the same Sir
Thomas had his head
lopped off for refusing to
help. - And a hundred
others.
Supposing you like vis-
iting graveyards and such.
There are nine great
museums, There are the
homes of people like
Charles Dickens and
Samuel Johnson. And.
there's the greatest of all,
Westminster Abbey,
where you can tread on
the tombs of some of the
greatest names in British
history and literature. 1
couldn't be bothered,
myself, but every man to
his own thing. .
Maybe you are a bird=
watcher. Well, 1 am here
to tell you that there is no,
greater bird -watching
sanctuary in the world
than London, There are
birds here of every race,
colour and creed.
1 think 1 know now
why Englishmen refer to
young ladies as "birds".
It's because the girls chit -
ter constantly, in a very
pleasing manner.
If you're a boozer, this
is heaven. There are pubs
of every shape, size and
sound and there are
enough of them to keep
every man, woman and
child in Canada drinking
around the clock.
Speaking of the clock
and boozers, keep an eye
on it. If you decide you
need a snort at four p.m.,
and head for the pubs,

I'm bird watching

you'll find yourself franti-
cally rattling locked
doors, They were open at-
noon, are now closed, and
won't be open again until

But all is not lost. Just
go into that department
store, go to the spirits
department, and the
kindly lady clerk -will sell
you anything from a cold
three -pack of ale to an
expensive bottle of giggly,
while extolling to -day's
special on Beefeater gin.
What a crazy country.
If you happen to be a
theatre buff, which 1 am,
among other things, you
have arrived at the pearly
gates. From our hotel, we
can throw a stone in
almost any direction and
hit a live theatre. We've
hit a different one four
nights in a row. Last night
Paul Scofield in a satire,
the night before Lauren
Bacall in Applause (a
great musical), the night
• before Kenneth More in
a comedy. We are just
now debating whether we
should go to see Wendy
Hiller as Queen Mary, or
Sir Alec Guiness in a new
comedy. Ho -Hum.
Then there are about
five big musicals.. The
theatre scene here makes
New York look sick,
which it is, and makes
Toronto look like
Hayfork Centre.
But perhaps the best
entertainment in London
is..101 nennle•w8tCh10

the auditorium of Blyth Pulilic fine auditorium such as s the; one
School. But with the school
stage in use for kindergarten
classes, the cast of the plays can
never practice with the sets'up
in the auditorium before the
opening night, The auditorium
has a flat floor which makes it
hard for people to see the action '
on the stage if they are more
than a few rows back, Accous-
tics are better than in many
similar halls, but not nearly as
good as in the beautiful Memor-
ial Hall. And worst of all, the
auditorium tends to get stuffy
when filled with large crowds
fa long periods of time. Many
people dislike attending perfo-
rmances there, making it harder
to draw a crowd. It is hard
enough to draw a good crowd.

fade away just as groups in lar-

;t.
As for the second worry, •here
seems to bean easy solution.
Why not set up a committee,
`separate from the Recreation
Committee which looks after
the physical plan of the hall,
to make sure the Hallis used
frequently. Members could
be delegated from groups in-
terested in using the Hall such
as the Little Theatre, Lion's
Club, Legion etc. and indi-
viduals in the community int-
erested in culture could be ap-
pointed at large.
This board of directors, so
to speak, would co-ordinate
use of the auditorium and bring
in first class entertainment
for local people and people thr-
oughout the county, since we
have the best facilities available.
Rock shows could be brought
in for the teens; country and
western shows for the many peo-
ple in the area who like country
and western music; band conc-

the Hall addition there canbe plays fa
if it were just to keep
children= films' for all ages;
religious rallies, in short, som-
ething for everyone. .
There is no reason why, with
careful planning, the auditorium
of Memorial Hall could not be a -_
very profitable venture, -paying
back the money council will
have to invest to fix it,'
The Passe Murailie Theatre
group which was here early -in
the year with The Farm Show,
- has expressed considerable inter-
est in coming to Blyth next year
and setting'up a summer theatre,
something': which would make •
Blyth a:tourist centre helping -
local merchants and helping - e
pay back some of the. -cost of ren- _
ovating the building. They also
want to make Blyth one of the
major centres on future.tours •
through this area with,their shows.
In shat, the future of the -Hall
Can Be Bright,. if there is some -
careful work done to make it so.
Are we. willing -to do this, or -
would we rather go .back 50 years
in time to -the days. before our -
broad-minded forefathers built
the beautiful building?' -
