Since the beginning of their year in September, the Lions have been seriously considering a major project, Many suggest- ions had been considered by the :nembers, but during the past month main c onsideration was given to two projects: the swim- ming pool at the $44,000 cost, and the rennovation cf the ent- rance to the Blyth arena at an estimated cost of $30, 000. After all facts and figures were _.._ presented to club members, they voted 16 to 6 in favour of the swimming pool. To kick off the project, the Lionesswill- hold ya Monster=Draw.-_vim,, and Games Night in the Mem- orial Hall on Friday.evening, December 14th. Tickets . are now available for the draw at $5, 00 each and it is hoped that everyone in Blyth and area will participate. $2, 000 will be given away in prize money. Lions President, Charlie Cra- wford emphasized the fact that the pool project must be a com- munity -wide endeavour. He stated that it -was the club's desire that children in the out- lying areas of our village take advantage of the pool facilities that will be offered, and at the same ti:ne hoped that those living in the area will offer their wholehearted support to the project. Chairman for the venture is Lion Lloyd Sipp el, who did the initial investigation and ground work for the club. The Lions are also holding a dance this Friday night in the Memorial Hall. Tickets are available from any member and are li.nited to 80 couples. Other fund rai- sing'projects will be coming up in the near future and the Lions sincerely hope everyone wilhgivetthe ir=assistance-is In other business,' -the , Lions voted $40 to purchase a fire extinguisher at the Lake St. Joseph Camp for the blind. Teachers told grant equity essential for elementary schools About 75 Huron County ele- mentary school teachers gath- ered in Blyth Monday afternoon were told- it is important to fight equal grants for element- ary and high schools. Mrs. Mary Hesser, president of the Federation of Women Teachers' Associations of Ont- ario said in a -news conference after the closed meeting that there is no longer a reason for a difference in ,per pupil grants from the provincial government • to local school boards. . Mrs. Hesser said she was . worried because rather than closing the gap between grants for elementary school students and secondary school students, the gap was actually widening. Mrs. Hesser said there is a difference of $5.27 between per - pupil grants for secondary, and elementary schools. She said thir difference has historical roots dating back to when sec- ondary schools were .more- spec- ialized than elementary' schools. Costs .were higher in running a secondary school because of the expensive, equipment for shops in vocational schools and laboratories. C lass sizes had tc, be smaller- in the, shops so costs •were higher. The higher qualifications of secondary school teachers also made a difference,she said, But now, with -;new government regulations coming into effect which make it necessarY for a elementary school teacher to have a university, degree, she .'said,: this. difference is gone. At present, she said, about one fifth of elementary school teachers have degrees and about one fifth of. secondary school teachers. do not have degrees. In the past, she said, ele- mentary school teachers were expected to teach only the' three Res. But now, she says, the teacher is expected to give individualized instruction and be able_todiagnose the special needs of each pupil. To fill this new role, Mrs. Hesser said, the teacher needs more help which- makes it important more money be devoted to elem_ ent- ary education. If teachers can meet the needs of students at the primary level, she said, the need for many of the prob- lems of secondary students could be eliminated. Mrs. Hesser said that to do .this, however, it is essential to have more money and to have smaller class sizes. She said government cutbacks in education spending had meant some of the special servicer being offered by elementary schools had been eliminated. If the grant structure was made the same for both school ' systems, she said, elementary schools coul4 afford the things they need to do' the job right, such as labs and shops. Mrs. Hesser.:described Mon- day's mee+.inr as an information Meeting and said it ''is import- ant to have the feelings of the teachers across the prov- ince if the Federation is to work for a better deal. A packed Memorial Hall witnessed the laying of wreaths on -Sunday morning as the community- commemorated Remebrance Day, 1973, Here Blyth Legion President Tom Thompson lays one of the wreaths.- Hall reaths,- Hall packed for Remembrance Service Blyth Memorial Hall was filled to capacity on Sunday morning for the annual Rem- embrance Day ceremony. Rev. Ted Hoogsteen of the Blyth Christian Reformed Church conducted the service, which saw many persons having to stand because there were nbt enough seats for everyone in the lower part of the hall. The larger auditorium of the hall could not be used because it has been declared unsafe until repairs are made to the roof of the structure. Members of the Blyth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion paraded to the service. Wreaths were presented from many of the organizations and businesses in the community and from Blyth Village Council and the local township councils. W. Wawanosh renews fire pact • West Wawanosh council held its November session on Nov. 6 with Reeve Lyons presiding. The council received letters from the township solicitor regarding unopened streets in the village of Dungannon. The 'clerk was instructed to obtain more information from the sol- icitor about the streets. The township will contact the Ashfield township council regarding a Joint meeting with the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority regarding the Lucknow' River watershed. The MVCQ had requested a meeting with the council to discuss the watershed, The tenders of Roy Hardy and Chester Nicholson were received for snowplowing at $12 per hour plus $10 per day standby time. A third bid which was for a grader to plow at a rate -of $14 per hour was not considered. Teade Bakker, one of the township's pound keepers att- ended the meeting to discuss procedures to be followed in impounding animals. The clerk was asked to inquire about details from the Ministry. A by-law covering renewal of. the Blyth District Fire Area was passed. General accounts of more than $1700 and road accounts of more than $6200 were app- roved for payment. Morris council awards sewer contract Morris township council accepted the tender of Maloney Bros., Dublin for the installation of a storm sewer in the village of Belgrave when council met for its November meeting on Nov. 5. The tender was for $29,896.05. There were eight other tenders the highest being far $65, 590. An easement for the sewer is to be entered into with George Johnston for the outlet for the sewer. Council approved a by-law renewing the Blyth District Fire Area contract, Repairs are to be carried out on the Rintoul Drain, McNeil Drain and Garniss Drain. Road accounts of $4, 638.85 and general accounts of $7, 580.03 were approved for payment. Bantams beat Goderich The Blyth Bantams started the year off with a 2-1 win over Goderich last Saturday night. The game in Goderich was opened up with Goderich scor- ing the first goal. Blyth came back with two goals to defeat the Goderich team. The Blyth goals were scored by Phil Arthur and Steve Bromley. The Bantams will meet Dear- born, Michigan this Sunday, Nov. 18 at 12!30 in the Blyth arena in an exhibition game. PG, 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, Nov, 14, 1973, A big task . Blyth Lions Club has once again undertaken a big task. The club that has done so much in the past to help Blyth has decided to spearhead a drive to give Blyth a new swim- ming pool, It is going to be a big fight, but there se .ms no reason why it can't be won. These projects, undertaken by the community, are some of the good things about living in a small community, We could get everything we need thraQgh taxes, That way, everyone would pay. But some, who cannot afford to pay, would be hurt, There would be no serse among those who did give money through their tax bill of having contributed to a better community,. There would only be a sense of grudging obligation. With a group like the Lions heading up the project, how- ever, we will get the same results and the added result of strengthening community spirit, Such a project, and the many ways thought up to help raise money far the project, often make for more fun than the facility will when it is finished, No doubt the Lions and other groups who will contribute, will find a good many kooky ways to get a few extra dollars on the way to paying for the new pool, We have no doubt that the Lions will succeed in their objective. The club ,has a good track recccd in other such projects and the community has a history of pulling together, to raise the money needed for new facilities. We wish them luck, and promise our support in whatever way we can. We hope our readers will do the same, Let's make the pool project make a big splash in the community. Where do we stand? Ontario Treasurer John White last week announced he is seeking opinions from coun ty officials throughout the province on how the county system can be re -organized. A delegation from the city of Stratford met recently with the same gentleman and came away with the imp- ression that regional government is losing favour with the provincial government and other methods of re -organ- ization are being considered. All this sounds good. It sounds like maybe the Davis government is beginning to drop its insane plan to re -organize the province and concentrate instead on ren- ovating the county system. There is little doubt that the regional government policy helped Liberal Murray Gaunt to roll up his huge majority in the 1971 election. There is no doubt whatsoever that feeling against regional government played a big part in the dramatic upset land- slide for Liberal candidate Jack Riddell in the Huron by- election this spring.. The Tories quickly realized this and immediately started issuing disclaimers that they had ever even intended regional government for Huron. Looking forward to the next election already, they seem to see the need to back down from its regionalization • plans if it ,is to win again. But just where do we stand on the issue? The govern- ment is giving us hints that they've abandoned the system. But let'sonce and for all hear just what it does have in Mind. Davis and his chums have gotten into trouble over regional government and they ''eserve it, not only bec- ause ithas been badly set up and managed, but also because they refused to be honest with people and let them know in advance what has been planned. The government has used an attitude of "we know what's best for you children and we'll only tell you when we're ready". People just won't buy that anymore. We .deserve the truth so that our local councils can plan for the future. Hopefully, regional government in its present form is dead, but whether it is or not, at least we should be told government plans in this area. Noon.e toturn to For the moment in Quebec, separatism is defeated. Yet we may never be so close to a separated Quebec. The situation in Quebec now is dangerous, The Liberal government has so much power, it is bound to make goofs and disenchant many people. There i, only one real Opposition party to vote for as of now in the next election: the Parti Quebecois. It seems natural that if people are fed up with the government, they will turn to the Opposition party. But in turning to that party they are not only changing a government, they are voting for the only party that has pledged to bring about separation from the rest of Canada. Like wolves in sheeps clothing, the PQ may win their goal of independence through fraudulent means. They seem now to be playing down their Separatist platform to woo votes. As such, they are being dishonest, selling people with one idea, then giving them something they did not want to buy. Just as dangerous is that the people may see through the PQ stance and decide they cannot vote for a ° party that is Sep- aratist and have no choice but to renew the huge mandate of the government, It would mean a virtual dictatorship. Perhaps these are false worries. A lot of things can happen in the next four years. Let's hope one of those things that can happen will be the re-emergence of a non -Separatist opposition party.

Well, this week I have the sequel to that event to relate. , It all began the fateful evening he returned home from the baby- sitter's house where he'd spent the day playing and watching ' television and generally having fun. "How are you feeling?" I asked him. "Fine," he answered brightly. "Pm not sick any more, Good thing I stayed home huh," I smiled my knowing smile, • "Little rascal," I thought to myself, Shortly after he'd settled into home for the evening, the telephone rang. It was the boy from next door and he was cal- ling to ask my youngest if he could come over to spend the night. "I think Ishould be able to," my son told him, getting more excited by the minute. My son turned to me, expectation in his eyes. "Can I go stay with my fri- end tonight?" he asked. "Not tonight," I answered, knowing my answer was going to bring much protest and maybe .some tears. "You've been sick all day, remember?" "But Pm not sick now," he exclaimed. "I feel fine." "I know you feel fine. Pm glad you feel fine. But when you don't go to school in the daytime, you just can't go out at night," I explained. He stared at me in unbelief. I could just about hear him think- ing, "If I'd known that this morning I'd never have been sick today. " "Pm going to school Monday," he claimed. "That's right," I said, "and if you_ have an opportunity to sleep at your friend's house on Monday evening you could prob- ably go," I watched his little eyes fill up with tears. Like all children, he just knew this would be his .' last chance.' "He'll never ever ask me again," he whined deje- ctedly. "Never is a long, long time, " I said, gathering him into my arms. And because he felt so very bad, I decided to confide in him, "You know, when mommy was young I had the same rule to live by," I began. ."And you know what? Sometimes it works in reverse, Sometimes you really are sick and you try to keep going just so you won't miss a big event." "You do?" he asked. Then I told him about a time when I was in high school a fav- orite young man invited me to a dance. 1 wncnIf tb by SHIRLEY J, KELLER. popular girl in the school to say the very least, and I really wanted to keep this -date. But about Thursday, I knew I was getting sick, I developed a ' fever, a cough, a runny nose, a headache - I felt terrible and I must have looked the part. I told him I knew that if I stayed home from school I wouldn't, have a hope of keeping my Friday night date . , . , so there was only one thing to do: I kept on insisting I wasfeeling really great and when Friday night came, I hept my appointment. I don't remember now how the young man enjoyed spending the evening with a sputtering, sniffling, stuffed -up partner,, but I do recall what a miserable time I had. It was no fun to dance, no fun to just sit and watch. All I really wanted to do was go to bed. When I finally did get home I collapsed into bed like a ton of bricks. I shivered. I shook. I ached, I throbbed, I sweated. I coughed. The next morning I really was sick ... and it took four days to get back on my feet. But in that time I'd lear- ned it was best to tell the truth.. if you are sick, don't pretend you aren't; if you aren't sick, go to school anyway bec- ause by the end of the day, - something really exciting might happen. - - My little boy had stopped crying. He put his arms around my neck and said, "Thanks for the advice mom." And without another word, he went away to contemplate life as he was liv- ing it. - - - And you know what? Now there's a sequel to the sequel, for this past weekend my son got another invitation to spend the night with his friend . , , and he went away happy and content, a much wiser young man I'm sure. - - - CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 2, Actor, - 16.

This week the Estimates of the Ministry of Agriculture are' be- fore the Houses and the Minister of Agriculture is pleased beca- use the Ontario farmers are today receiving higher prices for their products. Although, he was quite concerned for the beef industry, prior to the imposition of the surtax on American beef, Many farmers wish to take advantage of the improved in- come to replace old implements and machinery. However, they are finding it difficult to do so, because of an apparent shortage of agricultural equipment. I brought to the attention of the Minister the possible severe shortage of fertilizer in Ontario. One of the problems is that large quantities of potash have been exported to the Far East and the U.S. and -I suggested that the Provincial and Federal Governments should work out arrangements to stockpile fert- ilizer to prevent shortages in Ontario, It is obvious that the Provincial and Federal Govern- ments should geti together to ensure that our needs are net in this country before any further exports take place.

Leader, of the college at Centralia, We , were pleased to learn that the Minister has decided not to accept this recommendation. As I pointed out, the theoretical or academic side of agriculture is the speciality of Guelph Col- lege, whereas Centralia, Kempt- ville and Ridgetown Colleges are concerned with the practical side of farming. In addition, Centralia is located in the centre of some of the best farm land in the Province. The Provincial Secretary for Social Development, the Hon. Robert Welch, was made Minister for Housing this week, and Liberal Leader Robert Nixon is dubious about this appoint- ment. Ontario needs a full- time Housing Minister or housing will continue to be in short sup- ply and highly priced. There have been some changes in the Liberal Caucus following the recent Leadership Conven- tion. Donald Deacon, Member for York Centre, has been made Deputy Leader, with specific res- ponsibility for party organization and co-ordination, as well as policy making.

II.:III jJAN 00 ITS BY TOM TREMFIX Question: This past winter I stopped a water leak in my roof by applying Tremco In- stant Patch under some loose shingles, Is there anything I can do now to prevent sim- ilar problems from happen- ing next winter? Answer: Yes, there is, It's called a preventive -mainte- nance program, This means spending a weekend or two inspecting and correcting all roofs, potential trouble fleshings, gutters, ants d similar areas now before trouble arrives later, And all you'll need for the entirejob is Tremco Instant Patch pus a brush or trowel, Start with your roof shin- gles, Brush or trowel a gener- ous amount of Instant Patch under any loose shingles and press them down firmly, The adhesive qualities of Instant Patch will hold them down so that driving rain can't lift them up and leak into the house, Next, check all flashing around chimneys, soil pipes, fan -vent outlets, and other through -the -roof devices, and in "valleys" such as those formed between dormers and the main roof, Use Instant Patch to replace old roofing compounds that . are loose, dried, cracked, etc, You can also use Instant Patch to seal holes and seams in gutters, It contains glass and other fibres and dries to a tough leathery mat. One brush -on coat is all that's re- quired for instant repairs without special tools or rein- forcing membranes. If you have more questions about how to stop leaks, write to Tom Tremfix, The Tremco Manufacturing Com- pany, (Canada), Ltd. Toron- to, Ontario M4H 1G7. The Canadian Home Bible Language.

Look to the - keeping of a law as a way to be guided to more realistic limi- tations on one 's own self and more teffective •opportunities - 'for a neighbor's living. , And as an utter realist, I do not expect anyone to change because of this column, but I wanted to show why there will be wars and rumors. .. .

As Sunday school superintendent, he was a true follower of Jesus Christ, and al- ways had the spiritual welfare of the children at heart, After his sudden passing his many friends felt that there should be a tribute to his memory, so they contributed to a memorial fund. The result was the purchase of a projector which we are about to dedicate to Charlie's memory, and to quote scriptures, He being dead, yet speaketh." Mr. Hallam answered by saying, "We accept this memorial as a sacred trust and will treasure it with reverence and gratitude. In the faith of Jesus Christ, we dedicate this memorial to the Glory God and in memory of our mutual friend, Charles Scott, in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit.

As adults, many of us repeat the same thing to our children, This statement is true -- vegetables, picked at their peak and properly prepared are a source of vitamins and minerals which the body requires to keep going and growing, However, say food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, vegetables are only '!good for you" if they still have that good- ness in them when you eat them, Peeling, • soaking, prolonged cooking, large amounts of cook- ingwater, all contribute to the - loss of vitamins and minerals, For example, a medium potato contains about 20 milligrams of Vitamin C. Peeled, then boiled, it retains 16 milligrams, Mash- ing further destroys the vitamin C; only 10 milligrams `remain;. These figures are far potatoesthat are just cooked, Overcooking would have further affect on the Vitamin C'content. Something can be a done to keep., the nutrition'!In".

This plan came back from review at the provincial level with a number of changes made. County Council, again went into extensive review, approved it and returned it to the Minister for final approval. To back up the planning work they had undertaken the County of Huron went one step further and established the Planning and Development Of- fice now located in the Court House. There are two professional planners on staff, Gary David- son, the Director, and Nick Hill, the Planner. In addition the department is aided by secretary Shirley Stoll and during the summer months students John Cox and Brian Murdoch are undertaking a Re- creation Study and a study of Secondary Plans respectively. The Planning Department: stresses the role of public par- ticipation in all aspects of plan ning. It is the opinion of the planners that a plan can only work if the council and. resp dents of a given area believe in it, Mr. Hill explains that the department is well pleased with the response of the public tow- ard the initiation of planning and the bylaws necessary to en- force plans drawn up. "Right at the moment we are getting 100 to 125 people out to meetings about planning Grey Township," he points out, Plans don't just appear however, they are a result of a lot of det- ailed studies and work, and al - urban areas, the smaller vill- ages and hamlets are not aban- doned, Villages are promoted as "worthwhile alternatives to city living." • In addition to these basic policies on rural and urban How to store bulbs Flowering bulbs, corm, and tubers are usually harvested right after the first killing frost.

The following description of the property may give the part icipants in the contest a better idea of more suitable names to suggest for the property, in keep- ing with the conservation theme for the area. The property is comprised of the East part of Lot 30, all of Lot 31, and the ' West part of Lot 32 in Conces- sion 7 of East Wawanosh Town- ship. The site will be devel- oped and maintained as a For- estry and Wildlife Preserve; with future plans possibly calling for a Demonstration Pasture Farm on the west side of the Maitland River, and an Outdoor Education Study Area on the east side of the river, The site offers a wide variety of topographic and vegetation, and thus gives the area a very scenic, natural appearance. With an abundant forest cover of many species, the area has at- - tained an unlimited potential as a wildlife management area and therefore will ensure the preservation of all forms of wild- life. - - Names suggested for the prop- erty could reflect some part of its historical or topographical fe- atures; as well as any factors relating to the vegetation pres- ent, the watercourses that,trav- erse the area or even the wild- life which inhabits the site.

THE BLYTH.STANDARD, Nov. 14, 1973. ral An unusual market situation•, Forecast farm WITH ADRIAN VO.S .From the °Star Weekly": Burns Bros. and Denton Ltd. , a Toronto investment firm, in a recent report on Canadian supermarkets; "The outlook is for increased 1973 earnings for almost all competitors and rec- ord earning levels for some." It seems that the farmer daesn't get all the profit. All the feet of broiler chick- ens from American packing- houses are exported to Hong - Kong, I wonder what they are used for, ******* You better watch' the weight when you're shopping, mother. In Vancouver recently an eight - pound box of powdered milk cost more per quart when made up, then either a three pound box of a five pound bag. The wholesaler explained that in this case the five pound bag is the economy size and that the lar- ger quantity is not necessarily the cheapest one. *>f***** From the Harvestore booklet: When you look at the cash reg- ister slip at the grocery stare, ask yourself: "How much of this is really spent for basic food?" If you are like the average super- market shopper, you'll find : that 28 per cent of your money is spent for things that aren't food. 'Cosmetics, records, cigarettes, clothing, magazines, and a host of other items make the food bill seem higher than it really is. Most A mericans and C anadians now buy large amounts of "built- in maid service" with the rema- ining 72 per cent of the food dollar. Prepared foods are convenient and have most of the kitchen work already done. This saves work at home but it does cost money. The cost of this "built -in service" has actually gone up more than the cost of the ingre- dients in prepared convenience foods. A turkey dinner ready to go into the oven cost about 57 cents at the supermarket. (US). The USDA estimates that a serving of the same dinner prepared at home would cost 34 cent. Housewives are willing to pay about 50 per cent extra for the convenience. It is estimated that 70 per cent • of ail sales in the supermarket are product that didn't exist 10 years ago. Developing these. products and freezing and mar- keting through todays attractive• supermarts all cost money - and that is one of the major reasons that grocery bills 'are higher than they used to be. >14441401-411. Farm machinery prices went up tremendously in the last year. However, so far I have heard very few complaints from farmers about this. This in contrast to the people who make this farm machinery and who's increased wages and strikes caused a good deal of these higher prices. They cause food production costs to go up and then complain that food prices are too high and that food prices should berolled back, ***4**►:* Probably I am not very smart, but just the same it puzzles me that a spokesman for Dominion Stores can claim that because of a surcharge of six cents on imported beef, the cost on the meatcounter will increase by 12 cents. Mind you, that is the levy on dressed beef, Let us assume that another two cents will be cut away, this still lea- ves an unexplained difference of four cent, Another, professor has been theorizing recently about how the agricultural community should, be organized. In the face of failures all over North America of big farm enterprises and the ability of the family farm to survive trying times, professor J.C. Gilson of the University of Manitoba said that with different credit policies the family farm would not he needed. What would you, as a consumer think if a general motors like organization would grow your food, setting prices to satisfy the shareholders? Do you think food would cost less? >bk>k*lelek** When the country was first settled, towns sprang up in the best agricultural districts, to serve the farmer. However these towns didn't stop there. They kept on growing and, being on the best land, they swallowed that best land and continue swallowing it. The people in the big cities are be- ginning to recognize this. The president of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce said that the future of Canada's agriculture is threa- tened, Only 24 million acres of arable land are left in Canada, and every time the population rises another 1,000 persons we lose 300 to 1, 200 more acres to the city. If the trend continues, we will be out of land by the year 2015, brought about by several factors, has resulted in sales of farm machinery .in excess of 25 per cent over 1972 in Ontario, Fac- tors influencing the machinery market aren't changing quickly, so it seems logical that, in 1974, farmers will experience similar shortages, notes Hal Wright, the secretary -manager of the Ontario Farm Machinery Board, Feedlot feeding strategies for higher profits Recent high prices fee protein supplements for feeder cattle have encouraged foodlot opera- tors to experiment with different rations, and protein levels in rations, in an effort to maintain a reasonable return over feed costs. Feeder cattle trials at Kempt- ville College of Agricultural Technology have generated some guidelines for feedlot operators who could be facing similar protein supplement price fluc- tuations in the fut.re. "When considering the cost of feeding cattle, it's not always the animals that gain for the least feed cost per pound that are the most profitable_", obs- erves Graham Hooper, head of the Livestock Section dt Kempt- ville College. The key to feed- lot profits, Hooper suggests, are the number of pounds an animal puts on in a given time period. The time factor has become even more critical in the past year with the increased cost of borrowing money. "This means you have to put your steers thro- ugh as quickly as possible', says Hooper. With high prices for soybean oil meal, feeding trial data sug- gests that a ration consisting of corn meal, urea, and molasses out -performs haylage, as far as returns over feed costs are concerned. The urea supple- mented ration also generated a higher return over feed cost than the soybean oil meal rat- ion. During the Ke mptville trials, animals on straight haylage re- corded the lowest average daily gains -- slightly less than two pounds -- and the lowest feed' cost per pound of gain. How- ever, animals on this ration showed the lowest return over feed cost per head per year. The highest average daily gains -- nearly three pounds -- were re- corded by animals on the corn cob meal, soybean oil :veal rations, but returns over feeding cost were low. Cattle on the corn cob meal, urea, and molasses ration atta- ined average daily gains nearly as high as those on corn cob meal and soybean oil meal. The cost per pound of gain was consid- erably lower and the return to the farmer significantly higher. "Feeding a high energy ration which utilize a non -protein nit- rogen supplement, appears to be the most profitable feeding stratagy fa: feedlot operators during tin.', .hen feed prices and interest rates are high", Hooper concludes. machinery shortages "Many manufacturers are exp- anding their production facili- ties and/or laying en additional work shifts•to increase their pro- duction. Any gains manufactu- rers may make by plant expan- sion could be offsrt by a conti- nued shortage of raw materials, strikes, and an increasing de- mand for machinery from export markets," , . These and other factors, _com- biped with increased farm income, reduces availability of new units and could limit_ machinery prod- uction in 1974. Mr, Wright adv- ises farmers.to order their 1974 machinery requirements four to six months prior to date of need, and tp make a firm commit- - ment to the dealer with a down payirwnt_to ensure delivery. Used machinery has also been moving well, • ; BUSINESS DIR Ch iropractor R , BRAY, D.,a. 197 Josephine St. Phone 357-1224 Wingham J.

Probably the most versatile way of moving power ort such. machines is by V -belts, since they can rake power around corners,, r different angles and directions, and at a variety of - speeds, says Hal Wright, secre- .uy-manager of the Farm Mac- hinery Board, Ontario Ministry - of Agriculture and Food. The single V -belt is the most common belt of this type and'is used on farm machines in mult- iples of up to seven or even eight, In such a configuration, the belts may be joined together by a tic band on the back to prevent them from rolling over, whipping, or jumping out of - pulleys. The double -angled V -belt offers further flexibility. It can be used on a combine to turn a third pulley in the opposite direction as the belt returns to the 'drive pulley. There are many advantages to V -belts, -the it wedging action allows a lower arc of contact on a small pulley, thus -increasing the speed ratio; -they permit shorter distances between drive and receiving sha- fts than do other types of belts; -because of Cie thickness of their V-shipe, they can acco- mmodate the stress and sb cks of sudden load variations; -they tend to have low noise and vibration levels; -their design per wits easy maintenance and replacement; -they transmit power with less slippage than other types of belts; ...they will accept a higher degree of misalignment between pulleys without wasteful slilipa^,e. ,V -belts,- like flat and teethed belts, however, require regular attention if they are to function properly, Rerno4. e- accumula- tions of oil and grease which may cause the rubber to deteriorat Don't allow the belt to rub on a fixed object; the casing soon _ becomes worn, weakening the. b el t. Check belt tension. Too little tension will cause the belt to slip, while too much will overheat and stretch it, When adjusting the tension on V -belts, check the pulley groo- ves. If the bottom of the pulley groove is shiny, this indicates that the belt is riding too low, causing slippage. Don't worry if a belt squeals when a mach- ine has just been started. If the noise persists and continues during acceleration and under loads, it usually means the belt tension is too loose. It is Mise to change both belts in a set of V -belts at the same time in order to maintain ten- sion. ,Don't mulch plants before freeze-up Every gardener knows a nnulch is used for winter plant protect- ion. But many fail to realize the purpose of a mulch is not to keep plants warm. It is to keep them uniformly cold during the whole . winter season. For this reason, advises Bob Fie ming, horticultural special- ist with the Ontario Minishy of Agriculture and Food plant covering should not be applied too early. Many different types of materials can be used as mul- ches. But whether you use straw, peat moss, wood chips, ;and, soil, excelsior or i ation, do not'arrange the mat- erial around the plant un:11 the ground is frozen and ‘vi;,.er .is here to stay.

But it should p be applied until - the gratr',t is truly hard with frost, M Fleming advises.

Hydro rates to increase Faced with rising costs and resultant need for additional revenue, Ontario Hydro an- nounce_d today that 1974 rates will beraisedr.tor inos t users of. electricity in the province. Increases in interim rates to municipal utilities, who buy in bulk from Ontario Hydro and in turn supply, the majority of Ontario s 2, 5 million users, will average seven and a half per cent, 'An average increase in revenue of some 10 per cent is required from retail ,customers. in rural areas, served directly by Ontario Hydro. Rates to a number of industrial plants also served directly by the provincial util- sty, will be increased to provide an additiona1,10 per cent in revenue. Hydro Chairman George Gathercole said, "The new .gates are primarily a reflec- tion of strong inflationary forces, Labour rates next year under contract terms will be up substantially, while much higher prices for fuel - and materials will also push - up electricity production costs. "- Another factor underlying the new rate structure is the need to provide more capital funds out of current revenue. Over the last few years the proportion from current reve- nue going toward additional generating and transmission facilities has been declining as a result of higher constru- ction costs and the size of the program. As a result more funds must be generated from revenue in order to reduce the need to borrow capital funds. !'As the rates to most muni- cipal customers are set by their local commissions after taking into account their own . distrib- ution costs and the cost of power to them, any rate,adjustinents "will depend on the financial • position of each -municipal system and other local circum- stance"s,!!:said•Mr, Gathercole, Mr, Gathercole said a num- ber of the 353 local utilities and some industrial customers will obtain relief from the full effects of the increase. For many municipalities the in- crease will be'less than 2 per. cent. "This results from the elim- ination of a charge for stand- ardization of frequency to 60 cycles from 25 cycles .which has been in effect for some 25 years. The total cost of this program will be fully • amortized by the end of 1973. "Municipalities in the former. Niagara 25 -cycle system•wlU have their increases reduced by $3 a kilowatt next year. Those • in Hydro's Eastern and Georgian Bay regions will obtain a reduc- tion of 50 cents a kilowatt in 1974."' From Ontario Hydros retail system which supplies some 660,000 predominantly rural •customers; the increase in r evenue is required not only to meet the increased cha,rges of wholesale powerbut also the higher costs of distributing it over the province's 180,000 square miles of rural area served. While the average increase is 10 per cent, actual increases will depend on the customer's classification and consumption pattern. COME.IN AND SEE OUR SNOWMOBILE SUITS BEFORE YOU BUY.

PHO- Bill Smiley For years Canadians in small towns have watched the drying up of passenger train services, Community after community ` has had its rail services cut, Passenger service in this country is now about on a. par with that in Outer Mongolia, Many communities fought hard to retain the train service, but the locals were no match for the 'railways, with their public relations men, lawyers, experts and the inevitable figures. There is none of the romance and excitement of Canada's early railways in these . figures. There is no sentiment, They show that the line is losing money, and that's all the railways care about, They don't mention that there seemed to be a deliber- ate plan to let the tracks and the coaches fall into such disrepair and shabbi- ness that even an Outer Mongolian would prefer to travel by yak. There was almost no attempt, except on the big transcontinental trains, to. provide faster, more com- fortable, reliable service, The railways are perfectly happy to provide good service for cattle and hogs, but they just don't want people riding on their trains, Is our postal service going the way of our passenger traih service? Is there a secret conspiracy, high in the ranks of our postal department, to dis- courage Canadians from communicating by mail? Are postal authorities being bribed by the 13e11 Telephone, the railways' telecommunications system, and other competitors to put the brakes on postal delivery to the point where it will diminish to a trickle; then halt completely? One would think so, on the evidence, People in business who depend on the so-called postal service in this country, must be losing their hair, their minds, and even their businesses these days.

Soon it will be 80 miles in 80 days Last summer, when we were in England, 1 mailed two columns back to Canada., No problem, They were there right on time, My wife wrote some post- cards, "Not much point", I observed, "We'll be home before the cards get there," We weren't, But have you tried the Canadian mails lately?. Don't, unless there is no other way; •Last night, my wife came across an old love letter, from me, and read it to the accompaniment of my blushes and snorts, That letter travelled more than .200 miles, and took two days to get there, and cost four cents postage, This week, we had a letter from our daughter. She lives the vast distance of 80 miles away. You could walk it in four days, hitch- hike it in two, Yet the post office, with its computors, its fancy codes and its fast, modern trucks, took the grand total of four days to get the letter from there to here. That's really whippy service, Twenty miles a day, And it cost eight cents, Twice The cost for Tess than half the efficiency, This; column is mailed from here . to the city on Tuesday, for processing. It should be delivered next morning, the people here tell me, It isn't, Sometimes it gets there Friday, Some- times ome• tim es it doesn't, After some complaints from the city end, I took what I thought was drastic -action. I sent the column by certified mail, That sounds impressive, It consists of putting your envelope inside a special envelope, and paying forty cents for the privilege. "That'll do it", I thought. comfortably, It didn't. Three da} later, the city was on the blower. No column. 1 expined what I'd done, They said they'd go to the post office, They did, Nobody knew. anything about it. After eight ' days, the whole sordid little, unimportant story came out, Certified mail must be signed for. The elevator in the office building in the city was not working. The recipients of the column were on the third floor. No postie was going to walk up three flights of stairs, So the "certified" letter was not delivered, Worse still was the fact that it was dumped somewhere in the post office and ignored. Eight days after it was mailed, it turned up, Eight days, eighty miles, But by gosh, the price is right. Only forty cents. I've no grudge with` the local people, They are help- ful and obliging. But somewhere out there ... Sending a letter these days is about as effective as writing a note, putting it in a bottle, and dropping it in the Pacific Ocean, Except that the latter is a lot cheaper, if you happen to have an empty bottle. Next year, I'm going to hire a mule train for my mail. PURITAN BEEF, IRISH OR MEAT BALL JOY LIQUID 2-24 OZ. BOTTLES STEWS 24 OZ, TIN 55$ DETERGENT 090 CARNATION SOLID WHITE TUNA 7 OZ.

THE - BLYTH STANDARD, Nov, 14, 1973, Behind the Scenes 10 years since the BY KEITH ROUISTON American magazines this month are filled with the recollection of an infamous date 10 years ago this month, Nov. 22, 1963, the assassination of John Kennedy, President of the United States in Dallas, Ten years have gone so fast, yet so much has happ- ened. One magazine interviewed famous people who recall what they were doing on that day. Richard Nixon, for instance, was 'leaving Dallas that same morning. At the airport as he left that morning, preparations were under- way for the welcoming of Kenn , edy. A Nixon aid pointed out that but for a few thouslnds votes, it might have bee.` Nixon, not Kennedy, who was arrh +ng that day. We are not famous, you and I, but each of us has vivid memories of what they were doing on the fatal day when the news broke that a young presi- dent of a mightly country had been shot dead. It is one of those moments that will stand as a landmark in most of our lives. We will think of things before that date and after that date in separate categories. We can remember minute det- ails of time and place when we heard the shocking news. I was not a fan of John Kennedy as so many were before he died. To many, as the President of the United States, he was akin to a god. As a budding Canad- ian nationalist, I could see his warts. Those were the days assassination when Canadian nationalists were apt to be called anti-American as they were pro -Canadian. So while people, the young espec- ially, in the U. S, and parts of Canada were infatuated with this modern, youngish leader, to me he was a politician, a man with good and bad points, and with so many pressures on him as leader of a powerful nation, ultimately the bad showed up from time to time. Still, the death of John Kennedy was a great shock to me, probably the same kind. of shock that the:Crash of 29 and Hitler's invasion of Poland were to earlier generations. It was something that just couldn't happen, and yet it did. It was the first of many shock we were to receive in the next decade. In all to rapid success- ion came the assassinations of Martin Luther and Robert Ken- nedy. Again shocks upon shock. Again landmark experiences in life. The war in Vietnam, was like a dull roar throughout the decade, providing a background for the sharp explosions surrounding the three murders. The race riots, especially those as close as Det- roit in 1967 brought home to us that the neighbour to the south had difficult problems to be solved. And now the shocks are swee- ping the world again. As in 1963 when we felt it couldn't happen, we've felt that it was impossible for a corrupt man to make his way to the highest position in the TODAY CHILD BY HELEN'ALLEN THE TORONTO al\J SYNDICATE Johnny will soon be 11 but seems considerably younger both physically and mentally. He is an appealing youngster, partly because of his small size, partly his friendly manner and partly his sensitiveness to what is happening around him. Johnny ;s extremely slim and small -boned and doctors say his bone development is delayed by about two years. He is in a special class for below average children and will continue to reed special education, but he is doing well in school for a child with his limited abilities. Generally in good health, Johnny has a functional heart murmur. This is not felt to be a sign of heart disease, but he may need periodic check-ups. He wears glasses for near-sightedness and will soon need orthodontic treatment. Because of poor muscle control he has trouble with pencils and crayons, doing better in oral work. Johnny's foster home is on a farm where he enjoys the out- doors and is interested in all the farm activities. He is fairly active. • Johnny needs warm, flexible parents who will appreciate his outgoing, responsive personality and who will not expect academic achievement. To inquire about adopting Johnny, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid Society. HE LIKES A FARM most powerful nation in the • world, Things like that happen- ed only in the movies. Yet day by day,. event by -horrid event, the American people, and the rest of the world, have found it hard to believe that Richard Nixon, President of. the United States, is the honest, fair man who is thevictim of circum- stances, the press and his assoc- iates, as he would have us be- lieve, -- There is a strange comparison in the last decade in Canada, While there has been an obvious downward trend in the U.S. in the people's belief in themselves and their leaders, there has in Canada, despite the. odd setback, been an increase in confidence in Canada as a nation and in our leaders. The searing events in the U.S. combined with the inspiring effect of the Canadian Centennial:events of 1967 turned nationalism from a dirty word ten years ago, to an accepted way of life today. We've had troubles,of our own in those ten years: the unceasing tension in Quebec topped by the October crisis of 1970, the bit- terness of the Pearson-Diefen- -- baker years, the lengthy periods of uncomforatable minority gov- ernment, unemployment, infl- ation etc. etc. Yet if a poll were to ken, I feel sure it would show Canadians with more confidence in their country than ever before.. Des- pite our troubles we are strong. We see the trouble to the south, and we know how well off we are, we know for certain that it is worth struggling to continue as a separate country, not just a northern appendage of the U.S. In time, the wounds of the U.S. will heal too, and the nation will be the better for. its lgarrowing experiences. Despite LADIES and how things changed .he -gloomy predictions the Li, S. will be strong even it it is,forced to evict Nixon from the White House, The Americans will be left with a new Sense of having to be on the look out for corrupt- ion at all times. We, in Canada, will be left with the same sense, but also with a sense of new awareness. , , awareness that we can be proud to be Canadians." Prepare soil mixture for, house plants Just 'as people have food pre- ferences,, plants have -soil pre- ferences, So if you are going to grow houseplants this winter,. prepare a soil mixture now, sug- gests Russ Gomme, horticultural specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The standard formula for most popular houseplants, such as ferns and geraniums, is to mix equal parts of garden loam, coarse sand, leaf mold or peat moss. A better potting mixture useful for fuchsia or begonia, consits of three parts loam, one part sand and one part leaf mold or peat moss. The sand -encourages rooting and improves drainage; peat acts as a sponge to hold moisture for the plant. Add a handful of superphosphate to each pre.pared:bushel and mix well. Another popular mixture, suitable for African violets or gloxinia, is seven parts comp- osed loam, seven parts coarse sand, and three parts peat. For sowing seed, the most suitable mixture is sand and peat only. These mixtures can be stored in plastic bags in your basement or garage, ready when you need them. wake Up!
