system for Blyth now stands.
The last word the council had
had from the commission was
in june.and there was some
• dissatisfaction with the slowness
of the progress.
Council, .upon request from
Mrs. George Michie, principal
of Blyth Public School, voted
to look into ^the .closing in of an
open -ditch that runs in front of
the school
Council turned down a prop-
osed plumbing inspection by-law.
The. by-law; proposed by.Huron
County Medical Officer of Ilea- .
Ith, Dr. F. Mills would have -
replaced and earlier by-law cal-
ling for inspection' of all new
'plumbing installations.
Councillor Mac•Brooks expres-
sed opposition. to the proposal
saying there weretoo many
loopholes. Councillor Manning
added that under -the by-law an
inspector could:hold up ,a build-
ing project for lengthy periods
just because he didn't like the
contractor. • He said he knew of
contractors who this had h appe-
ned to: .
Councillor Brooks said the
cost of the inspection was also
too high, _.It would add more
than $30 to the cost of an aver-.
age home.- • Under. the old sy-
,stem,'.Councillor Manning.
explained; the"cbarge was
never more than $15.
Councillor Howson said he •
could seethe need for the bylaw
if this were a large municipality
with a lot of building going on.
However, in a small community
the contractor has to do a good
job or he'll be in trouble in a
hurry, Mr. Howson said.

BY SHIRLEYY KELLER
' • The November session of
Huron County Council lasted
• late into the afternoon with
• the bulk of the time duringthe
day spent on hearing various
reportsfrom countyoffices such
as the Department of Agriculture
and Food and allowing first-year
member's of county council time
to give their impressions of the
previous , months: .•
Main item of interest during
the'daywas the announcement
of four councillors that they y will
seek the office of Warden for
1974. • These include two for-
mer contestants in the race and'
. two new faces.
Hugh Flynn, reeve of Hullett.

A
fifth Councillor who:was
expected to be in the running
announced he will not seek el-
ection as Warden for 1974, Clin-
ton Reeve Harold Lobb said
family commitment will prevent
him froni`entering the race but
he.'advisedlhat if at all possible,
he will be a candidate for the

not deterred him from that desire.
"1 have been beaten before,
I might be beaten again," said
Flynn, but l , ask your support in
January to be Warden of Huron
County."
Reeve Oddleifson, the only
candidate who is retired, claims
he has the time to• be a full time
warden, ° He indicated:he will
make county restructuring an im-
portant issue in his campaign and
told council earlier in the day
he would press for a special com-
mittee of council to be appointed
to study the matter.
"It is. about time we assess
where we are going, how we
are .going to get there and what
we are going:to do when we get
there," said Oddleifson., "1 .
don't believe bigger is.necessari-
ly better. P m selfish how and
where this county goes."
-Bill Elston said his main in- • _
terest since his entrance onto

BLYTH STANDARD, .Dec,
bile natioinalism'in.Canada'has 'gained growing.aceeptance
'Abe "past decade, econoinic.nationalism has continued to
ave a black nan e. •
=Those. who have fretted over, the growing .control of the -
.Canadian economy by large.coinpanies from'the U,S,,
japan Britain and elsewhere have,always been:shouted down
by traditional economists -and -big business experts;
The -experts have constantly slapped the' economic.. national- ..
fists -across the knuckles with tickertape and told them to shut •
up -or they!d frighten off all that lovely investment:money
from -outside -our borders, leaving•us starved for investment",
money.
Now, however, it appears the nationalists may have the,
last laugh, though -it will be a hollow one.-
-
ne. - Already we have begun to hear rumour that foreign-based
companies are shifting emphasis on production due to the
current crisis in the world over energy and other shortages.
There are murmurings that U.S. -owned petroleum companies •
are skimming ,off oil production here to send it'south .thus
helping relieve the problem in the U. S. 'but making it worse -
here, The U.S. 's DISC policy_ is causing parent companies
to shift employment from Canadian plants to U,S. ones,
Shortages 'in steel, paper and just about everything else are
causing disruptions. -
It's still to early know, but it' is becoming obvious that
by depending heavily on foreign investment, Canadian's have
put themselves- in a very vulnerable position. We've got, on -
one to blame but ourselves, however, and if we're in trouble,
we certainly deserve it. -
America -land
of opportunity
For many years, Canadians have looked to the United States
with a tinge of envy,
It started, with the higher income most Americans have had
since the turn of the century. Other things like a strong sense
of national pride, big shiney cars and motion pictures also
made Canadian envious.
However the latestnews tops them all, It has been reported
that President Nixon paid $789 in taxes in 1970, $878 in 1971
and $4,298 in 1972. As president, he earns a salary of
$200,000 a year plus a non-taxable expense fund of $50,000.
Those of us in Canada who pay the kind of taxes on salaries
of about five per cent of that amount in salary now: know for
sure that the U.S.. is really the land of opportunity,
Communications-
another battle
The provinces played their favourite game last week in
Ottawa: ganging up on the feds.
The,ob ject of the. game this time around was for, the prov-
inces to wrest control away from' the federal government of
the communications field, or at least part thereof. -
"" Really, its just a new period in an old game.- ' The provinces
since World War 2 have been trying to strengthen their own
importance at the expense of the federal government and the
municipalities. They have preached centralization to the
municipalities over whom they have control, but decentrali-
zation to the federal government whose power they wouldlove
to have. Provincial budgets have increased astronomically in
this period and they have been hard put to keep up to expenses
with the revenue available. So the battle has been on for
years to get more of the federal tax fields turned over to the
provinces.
It is strange that when the British North American Act was
• formulated, Canada was a vast country with very poor com-
munications. Yet, the Canadian founders felt it was import-
ant to have a strong federal government. They dealt with
the problem of poor communications by keeping the lowest
level of government, the municipal level, on a local basis.
Now, with communications so refined that news goes from
one side of the country to the other in ,minutes, we see a
reversal of the old stand and the provinces insist the country
must be decentralized but the municipal governments must
be centralized.
Hopefully the federal government will not give in to the
provinces especially in an area so importantas communications.
If the provinces continue to build their control over local
governments at the municipal level and to siphon off power
from the federal government, we are soon going to be ruled
by small groups in the provincial capitals. It.is a serious threat
to the continued existence of Canada as a united nation and a
serious threat to the rights of the ordinary citizen to have his
voice heard.
If a referendum were held on the subject there is little doubt
in this corner that the provinces rolild'be licking their wounds
over a horrid defeat. Polls in the past have shown that Cana-
dians favour a strong federal government rather than giving
more power to the provinces.
Not that the will of the people really matters that much.
Most of the provinces, through their legislation to instigate
regional government and area school boards have proved
already that they don't give a hoot about the voice of the
ordinary voter, except at election time.

Behind the`Scenes
Memories of winters past
BY KEITH ROULSTON . •
When I was a gaffer growing
up on the farm, one of the
chores we liked least was piling
wood into the wood shed every
. year around this time.
My father and uncle were in
• charge of the cutting of the
. wood back in the bush and that,
to us, was exciting. But the
piling, ,well, it was just a big'
boring job. Still, we knew we's
better pile it in and in a hurry,
• or we'd have wet firewood when
the snow came and we most '
needed a fire in the big, black
. monster that sat in the kitchen
and `provided, heat for the. whole
- house...
Mine, was the last generation
to know the pleasures and horrors
of growing up in a house heated
by an old, wood stove. Even
some of my -fellows never knew
what it was like: Their houses
were kept comfy by coal or
oil furnac es.
But we weren't that affluent
and so the ancient stove provi-
ded the heat, and what a heat.
When it was on, wow. The
kitchen sometime, closely
resembled that hot place the
minister kept taling about on
Sundays. It took a good deal
of carefulconsideration to know
just how much and what kind of
wood to put on the fire to get
the right temperature. There
was no comfy thermostat to turn
up or down. Give one of us kids
the chcre of putting wood on the
fire and you were likely either
to be cold, or to be broiled in,
the next half hour.
`'Then there was the opposite
extreme, in the early morning.
Before going to bed dad would
put a big block on the fire
in the hope that it would burn
slowly during the night and
still. be going in the morning.
Thinking back, however, it.
seems the strategy seldom work-
ed because I have vivid mem-
ories of' mornings on the farm.
First, you would awaken to
hear dad. stumping down the
stairs to get the fire going.
You lay there waiting for the
fire to get going well so there
would be at least one warm
room in the house. You could
hear the scraping and clanging
as the stove door was opened
and shut as dad went through
the motions of getting the fire
going or getting a little life
into the last remnants of last
night's log. Often there were
other noises, noises mother
would rather not have had our '
tender ears hear; noises that
told us that all was not well
with father and his attempts
to warm up the house.
A lifetime of practice with
stubborn fires had taught father
a good vocabulary, but it had
also taught him all•the tricks
of inspiring fire from wood that
stubbornly refused to catch
flame. It usually wasn't long
before the house was warm
again, at least the lower part
of the 'house.
Up . in the bedroom one did
a great deal of, planning before
making the first big step of the
day, You lay there and thought
out every move carefully, then
with sudden resolve jumped out
of bed, making sure to land on
the rug, not on the ice-cold,
linoleum, and slipped into the
clothing you had carefullyair
anged the night before for a -
fast entrance,, Then you beat
it downstairs,, teeth chattering'
to sit beside the big stove while
dad finished making the porridge,
As kids we used to love it,
of course, when we went to the
bush with the men to ,get the
wood, or had the neighbours
over for a bee to cut up the
wood into blocks. We had all
sorts of visions of the hardy and
exciting lumber jacks of the
north in their bright jackets,
felling timber, and floating it
down the river. Our own ex-
perience was less romantic of
course as the chain saw barked
and the trees came crashing
down, but it was still a lot
more interesting than the task
that followed of piling the wood
into the woodshed.
We didn't appreciate the old
wood stove much in those days.
Next to an indoor bathroom, an
oil or coal furnace were prob-
ably the biggest status;symbol
in our concession» Now_ nearly
every house on. that neighbour-
hood has .central heating. The
older people who had to work
so hard to keep the house live-
able when they had wood stoves
probably don't miss them much.
But I find myself missing the
`old black box at times. Some-
how the stove in the middle of
the kitchen brought the family
closer together; it was a sym-
bol of the centre of the family,
the place the whole family
gathered, .I think there is some-
thing fundamentally sound about
that symbol too, because nearly
all modern homes' in the city
have built-in fireplaces, and
they certainly aren't designed
for warmth.
No, the box store hasn't.been
missed much on the old farm
these past few years, but I'll
bet you there are some 'who
remember it fondly this year.
With the price of .furnace: oil
hitting 40 cents a gallon in
some places -,i it looks awfully
good to be able to heat your
house for practically nothing
with the wood from the bush
that still stands on:nearly
nearly
every farm.

ENERGY CONSERVATION
On Tuesday of last week,
Energy Minister Donald
Macdonald outlined in the
House of Commons a volun-
tary program of energy con-
servation immediately, to be
followed by a program of
mandatory allocations in the
new year.
The Energy Minister asked
Canadians to lower their ther-
mostats, reduce their driving
.speed, form car pools and cut
down on Christmas lighting,
in homes and commercially.
Mr.-Maedonald announced
that both the provincial and
federal governments will re-
duce the use of heating oil
in government buildings - in
federal building, this move
will result in a reduction of
18$. -
These programs are de-
signed to deal with shortages
brought- about by cutbacks
in Arab production,,
OIL PIPELINE
The Prime Minister said in
the House of Commons that
Canada's pipeline from Sarnia
eastward will be built with
federal government funds if
private industry is not willing
to invest in it. The pipeline is
expected to be completed by --
the end of 1975.
FOREIGN INVESTMENT
The House of Commons
gave final approval to the fe-
deral government's foreign in-
vestment bill. Introduced in

would establish a screening
agency for some foreign in-
vestment and restrict expan-
sion of foreign controlled
firms.

FPOfftbfl:MinIsiP'$ Sludy
by TED HOOGSTEEN, Blyth Christian Reformed Church
In an era in which the majority of people questions the
reality of God for the simple reason that they've never seen
him or heard him speak directly, Christmas reminds all for-
ceable
orceable that God entered into this world in Jesus Christ.
This coming God had promised centuries before, before
Christ's birth through the prophet Isaiah: "Behold, a young
woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call him
Immanuel." (7.14) This Immanuel means "God with Us"
(Matthew 1. 23) and in Christ God entered this world as
never before to grant a redemption that is both strong and
eternal; this is the 'forgiveness of disobedience and restora-
tion to a new way of life and incorporation into the body
of Christ, which is the Church.
The Scriptures speak clearly of this miraculous happening.
Only, human insensitivity refuses to listen to the meaning
of this, great sevent in the history of the worrld, and there-
fore much of the celebration of the birth of Christ has be-
come an economic spree and an escape from the Christian
meaning' of this holiday. The Scriptures, through the Church
call out (sometimes forcefully, sometimes feebly) to heed
this Christ whom God sent into the world to calm Tiff.

Who saysthat the Church is
dead?
When 300 people from Blyth
and deistrict attend 'a week -night
gathering as they did last Friday
evening in Blyth United Church
for the Key+7 Community Ser-
vice, you would have to consider
the possibility that the Church is
alive. If anyone had come into
the Service during the singing by
the entire congregation, you
would have been compelled to •
confess that you had not heard
singing like that in along time.
When you yourself are singing
with great gusto and can barely
hear your own voice, you have
to admit that others must be
singing too.

WorshipseMces to be held
at Vanastra
Another breakthrough in
Vanastra happened last week.
On Sunday December 2 the
doors of the Vanastra Chapel
opened and the first commun-
ity .worship service was held,
Much has happened in Van-
astra in the past year. People
have come from near and far
and have made their homes
here, Industry has moved in,
store s have opened their doors
and restaurants have started
to serve the residents. Still
in many instances there is a
lack of community spirit. For
instance, children have to at-
tend school in other communities
and religious services have to
be attended elsewhere,
Throughout the history of
Canada the church has always
been a place where the members
of the community could go to
in order to find themselves in
relation to their Creator and
their fellowman. It was a
place where people went to find
comfort and solace in times of
sorrow and disappointment. It
was also a place where they
expressed their joy and happin-
ess, especially at weddings and
at the baptism of their chudren.
In order for Vanastra to find it
self it must also have a place
where its residents Can' go and
meet each other and worship
, the Lord of heaven and earth,
Much preparation has gone
into getting.things ready far
warship services. First of all
the Chapel had to be obtained
and secondly'it had to be ren-
ovated so it could be used dur-
ing the winter. Everyone knows
that when one first moves into
a new home one has very little
Money to spare and it would
be a real gamble to join com-
plete strangers and taking on
the heavy financial obligations
of running a church. Thus
it seemed very unlikely that
a church would ever be started
in Vanastra.
Now we have to stand back
and look on in amazement how
the Lord looks after his people
here on earth. How hie worked
in the hearts of some members
of the Clinton Christian R efor-
med Church and caused them
to make heavy financial com-
First Aid training saves lives
A sudden, unexpected occur-
ence demanding immediate
action. That matter-of-fact
dictionary definition tells what
an emergency is, but it doesn't
tell about panic - unreasoning
fear that so often paralyzes mind
and muscles. -
The antidote for fear is know-
ledge. Knowing what to do and
how to do it in those crucial
Moments 'demanding immediate
action thatcan dispel panic and
keep an emergency from becom-
ing a tragedy.
St. John Ambulance First Aid
courses for employees have been
conducted in some' industries for
many years. Trained first -aiders
are a,tremendous'asset because -
'they can stop dangerous bleeding,
administer artificial respiration
and tiansport injured workers
safely. - Not only can they'
perform these services, ,which
may be needed anyat time, but
their help in time of i saltr
would be invaluable.

They quickly got to work; a life

.A plant manager, stricken
by a heart attack, collapsed in
his office. His breathing stop-
ped. Within seconds plant
personnel trained in first aid
had him breathing again. An
ambulance rushed him to the
nearest hospital. Again, trained
personnel had saved a life. ,
The list could go on and on,
but —when seconds count, a
trained first -aider, on the spot,
can mean the difference bet-
ween life and death,
In addition to the direct
benefits on the job, companies
feel there is another dividend.
On the theory that first aid
students learn something about
1
the causes of accidents and
acquire an accident awareness
that makes them cautious, they
believe that instruction in first
aid makes an employee less
likely to have accidents.
In a recent research study
conducted over a three year
period in Orillia, Ontario,
St. John Ambulance proved that
companies with a high percen-
tage of First Aid trained emplo-
yees c' n reduce their accident
rate by 30 per cent,
Firms can have their empl-
oyees trained by contacting
St. John Ambulance. Special
courses are conducted to train
one or more employees as
company Instructors so that
classes can be held at times
most convenient for both
employer and employees.

With.supplies of crude oil In Eastern Canada'barely sufficient
to meet demand, real shortages of gasoline and heating oil -
could occur here in Ontario if we can't maintain our Imports,
Alternate, more dependable forms of energy are being
developed; but that will take time. What is important today is
that each one of:us makes the best possible use of existing
energy supplies, -
Little:ways,in which you can save energy may seem
insignificant, but in fact they are not. For example, it has
1.11® 11111.11
been estimated that if each person in Ontario saved just a
penny's worth of energy each day, we'd save enough energy
in,a week to heat up to 2,500 homes for an entire year,
Nobody has the right to waste any form of power, The time
has come for every person to do everything possible to
ensure the wisest use of energy,
Good energy habits learned now, especially by our young
people, will help bring us through this winter, and pay off
even more in years to come, Let's get to work,

We're taking our own advice.
All Ministries and Agencies of the
Ontario Government are doing their
bit to conserve energy. Lighting and
heating levels are being reduced in
government buildings; a new
emphasis is being given to economi-
cal operation of vehicles; Ontario
Hydro and the Ministry of Education
are encouraging consumers and
schoolchildren to learn good habits
in the use of energy. And that's just
a beginning!

THE BLYTH STANDARD, Dec. S, 1973. PG,13,
Huron County Health Unit no small operation
-BY-RON SHAW
With"a total of 34, the Huron
- County Health Unit is no small
operation, Although all those
health' officials do not work out
of the.Health Unit's first floor -
offices -at the Court House much
of the administration and deci-
sion making is done there and
a -large number of the staff use
the Court -House as a centre for
their activities, - -
The Huron County Health
Unit is under the direction of
Medical Officer of Health Dr.
Frank Mills who Works .under
authority of a Board of Health.
Boards of Health are establ-.
ished -in all organized areas,
meaning 'almost all of the reg-
ions of Ontario with the exce-
ption of the far north where
the Province handles Health
matters directly, and these -
boards are in turn responsible
to the .Provincial- government,
:A -Board of Health is made
up of elected representatives
in its area. (members of Huron
County Council) and a repres-
entative appointed by the Prov --
ince to look after its interest, -
The Provincial representative
in Huron is. John Morrisey and
the other board members are
G. G, Ginn, Roy Pattison, R.
Gibson -and-C. Horton.
Financing of Health Unit
activity is shared equally by
the Province and the County
on the basis of an approved bu-
dget..During 1972 however
the County financed, in addition
Volts- origina150 per cent of
costs, ,additional expenditures
above and beyond the approved
budget totalling $8,000.
To administrate the Health
Unit the Board of Health hires
a Medical Officer of Health,
who must be a doctor, qualified
to practice in the Province of
Ontario, and who must also
have received his diploma in
Public Health from the School
of Hygiene at the University
of Toronto. The course repre-
sents a full year's regular stu-
The M, O. H. is responsible
for administration of the Health.
Unit as well as any medical
matters which must be dealt
with.
The_Health Unit then oper-
ates under authority stemming
from the Public Health Act of ,
Ontario.. It also works in con- '.
nection with various other
Provincial and County agencies
as well as Federal organizations
on occasion.
Below the upper tier of general
administration, activities of the -
unit fall into two major divisions,
inspection and Nursing. In add-
ition there are also clerical wor-
kers.
Chief Public Health Inspect-'.
or Jini McCaul explains the
division this way.
"In the inspection field we
deal with people about things,"
he says, "In nursing the unit
deals with people about people."
"Inspectors are involved with
environmental health," he adds,
"the nursing staff work with pe-
rsonal health,"
- Under Mr. McCaul are Senior
Inspector Jack MacKinnon and
Staff Inspector Joe Rupra m, -
Peter Pui and Klaus Seeger, as
well as student inspectors, Don
Hullah -and Phil Paquette who -
are working with the unit dur-
ing the summer months.
The inspectors week under
"guidelines far Public ,Health
Inspection Services" as laid
down by -the Public Health Div-
ision of,the Ontario Department
of Health. --
Mr.
Mr. McCall -admits however
that the staff - just can not han-
dle the number of inspections
in each field recommended by, -
the guidelines.' "Welust don't
have that much staff." ` -
The guidelines,- and the in-
spectors who follow them,. have
four major objectives according
to the Department of Public -
Health.
Even the Department of
Health- admits in their introd-
uction. tothe guidelines that
the purpose of the gulidelines "is
to summarize for local boards
of hea ]th, public helath inspect-
ion services needed and "'reco-
mmended" to assist in the mai-
ntenance and improvement of
community health; "
The introduction also notes
that "A major part of the com-
munity helath protection pro-
gram of the medical officer of
health is carrried out by public
health inspectors."
"Their services have improv-
ed health and well being and
reduced the spread of infection,
These continue to be their major
roles; however, public health
inspectors must be flexible and
adapt their services to changing
demands and needs."
First on the'guideline list is
!the matter of "Demand Services."
I This Mr, McCaul explains
really covers complaints and
questions directed through the ,
health office in a wide variety
of.areas. These include matters
from complaints, public health
nuisances and matters of non-
compliance to prosecution prep-
' orations, pest control and dog
bites, - - -
"Food Control"' is item num-
ber two under which the Health
Inspectors keep tabs on eating
establishments, bakeries and
all food distribution establish-
ments. -
Number three deals with
"Drinking Water Systems"
which calls for inspections of
institutional supplies (schools),
private supplies_wh ere necess-
ary, municipal water supe lies
and recently the water supplies
made available to ships'at God-
erich Harbor, although that was
an inspection carried out on
behalf of Federal Government
authorities,
Health Inspectors must also
deal with communicable dis-
eases, recreational sanitation
facilities, hospitals, schools
And institutions, .and provide a
public education program on
health problems.
As many people are aware
a great deal of the inspector's
time recently has been taken up
by inspections.of sewage disposal
systems.
The Chief Inspector explains
that the Province was to take
over matters dealing with sew-
age disposal some time ago but
has yet to finally make the move,
"Although sooner or later they
will take full responsibility,"
Mr. McCaul predicts.
Many of the sewage disposal
problems that have plagued -the
County Health Unit have invo-
lved destroyed systems along
the lake share due to high water
levels.
The nursing branch of the
Health Unit's activities is under
the direction of Public Health
Nursing Supervisor Mrs, Gurpal
Thind,
Mrs. Thind oversees the acti-
vities of Senior Public Health
Nurse Mabel Dixon,' Public Hea-
lth Nurses Mary Ellen Cunning-
ham, Mrs.. Lorna Douglas, 'Mrs.
Joanne Jasper, -Mrs. June Martene,
Mrs, Janet Reid, Mrs. Marlene
Robertsons Mrs. Owen Scott and
Mrs, Helen West.. - _
Also on the nursing staff are
Dental Nurse Mrs. Elizabeth
Belling, -Dental Technician Mrs.
Barbara Dougherty, Vision Tes-
ter Mrs, Faye Krieger, Regis-
tered Nurse Mrs. Phyllis Mc-
Connell and Registered Nurse
and Audiometrist Mrs. Shirley
Steepe,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cardno admin-
isters the Home Care program
with the help of Rosemarie
Boyce R, N.
Each Public Health. Nurse,
plans, co-ordinates, executes
and evaluates her program with-
in the confines of her district in
the Health Unit. These districts
being townships, ,or_parts of tow-
nships and towns.-
These
owns. These programs are various and
expanded periodically. At pres-
ent they include, pre -natal .
classes, school health services,
follow up home care patients,
home visits to pre -natal, post
natal and -other health problems,
Goderich Psychiatric Hospital
discharge conferences and follow
ups of these patients, well baby
clinics and so on.
Health Clinics are held on a
regular basis, four times each-
she
ach-she notes.
An, expanded health clinic pro-
gram may be in the works if
a survey to be undertaken in
the near future. indicates a need
for such service in smaller
population centres such as
Vanastra and Huron Park,
"We would like to stress,"
'Mrs, Thind said, "that adult
clinics are not just for older
people, although we do serve
a large number of such cases."
The biggest problem facing
the Nui<sing division of the
Huron Health Unit for the mom-
ment seems to be the acceptance
'of the Home Care Program. '
In addition to the head office
at the Court House in Goderich
the Health Unit maintains of-
fices in Brussels at the Medical
and Dental Hospital, Seaforth
at the Hospital and in Wingham.
In addition to those staff
members employed directly in
the health services of the unit
there are a number of secret-
aries as well,
Mrs, Sylvia Harman is sec-
retary in building and plum-
bing division at Goderich,
Mrs. Ruth Jackson serves as
secretary in both Clinton and
Brussels. Mrs. ;Aileen Mac-
Gregor is a secretary at Cli-
nton as well, Seaforth secre-
tary is Mrs, Mary Margaret
Maloney, Mrs. Marilyn Morley
is another Goderich secretary,
Karen Rae works as secretary at
Wingham, Mrs, Carol Reid is
secretary to the Medical officer
of Health, Mrs. Laurine Sawyer
is secretary in the Home Care
unit and Mrs. Alice Wildfong
serves as secretary in Exeter.
Child care clinics are held
twice each.month in Exeter and
once per month in Wingham,
Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth.
Public Health Nurses visit all
the public and jsigh schools in
Huron one or two mornings each
week, according to arrangem-
ents made with the individual
principal. Separate Schools are
also visited by the nurses but not
so often.
Public Health Nurses also
conduct the pre-school clinics
for all Huron County Schools and
hold hearing and eye tests in all
the schools.
Mrs. Thind indicates that she
would like to see an adolescents'
clinic begun as a sect of "exten-

Goderich Township, members

Kodak announces
sound movie cameras
Two new super 8 sound "
movie cameras, two new so-
und movie projectors and mag-
netic prestriped sound movie
films, which eliminate the need
fox a separate tape recorder or
movie light, have been announ-
ced by Kodak Canada Ltd.
Incorporating the existing- '
light capability of the Kodak XL
movie cameras, the new Kodak
Ektasound 130 and 140 movie
cameras add the extra dimen-
sion of lipsynchronized sound
which is recorded in the camera
onto magnetic striped super 8
film.
Features common to both
Ektasound cameras include;
automatic gain control that
allows the cameras to adjust
for existing sound much in the
same way they adjust for exis-
ting light, an omnidirectional
microphone (picks up sound
from all around) with 12 foot
cord, an extra -fast f/1, 2 Kodak
Ektar lens and electric` eye exp-
osure control. Both cameras will)
accept either super 8 sound or
silent films.
In addition to these features
the Kodak Ektasound 140 movie
camera has a manually operated
9 to 21 mm zoom lens with a
high aperture coupled sports ,
finder.
The two new sound films av-
ailable are Kodak Ektasound
160 sound movie film (type A)
and Kodachrome II sound movie
film (type A), These sound
films feature a magnetic stripe
for rec ceding sound and a bal-
ancing
alancing strip to enable smooth
winding. The cartridges are
slightly larger and feature a
special sound port which allows
the film to interface with the
Ektasound camera recording
head. A second electronically
regulated motor within both
cameras turns the sound capstan
to drive film past the recording
head at a constant 18 frames
per second.
To project the new sound
movies Kodak has introduced
two new distinctively styled ,
sound projectors, The Kodak
Ektasound 235 and 245 sound
movje projectors.
The Kodak Ektasound 235
movie projector with a 22mm
f/.1.5 lens has a suggested list
price of $278.00 The Kodak
Ektasound 245 movie projector
with 22mm f/1.5 lens and
sound on sound record function
has a suggested list price of
$395.00. Both models are
also available with a 15 to
30mm f/1.3 zoom lens for
additional charge.

Wingham 10, Blyth 6.
A departure from their
ally good defensive game saw
the Blyth Peewees fall apart

ties with Steve Reid, Steve ;

goaltending chores. .
Blyth 6, Lucknow 3.
Greg Hallam went on a scor-
tion bylaw brought in for con-' .
sideration at the November
meeting held Friday, November
30 inGoderich.
The Board had hoped to est-
ablish plumbing inspectdon in
Huron by May 1, 1974 with two.
inspectors, qualified to do Public
Health Inspection and Plumbing
Inspection, hired to handle the
new department. The office
' had been proposed for Clintons
Health Unit Branch -Office.
; Dr, Frank Mills, -Medical -
Officer of Health fcx Huron, said
the proposed bylaw was -simply.
a rewrite of the 1961 bylaw with
the fee structure updated in an
attempt to make plumbing insp-
ections self-supporting.
In turning down the bylaw,
Reeve Bill Elston said the county
really does want plumbing insp-
ection but was unhappy with the
bylaw as presented.
+II hope the doctor ,snit too
soured on this "' said Ekton.
Elston charged the bylaw as
presented was Moo vague" and
urged that local councils be
given an opportunity to peruse
the bylaw before it is passed
at the county level.
• The entire matter was refer-
red back, to the committee for
"!discussions ti,
Ar. Mills then asked that the
1961 bylaw be rescinded and
that plumbing inspection be'
stricken from the board of he
alth control. II
However, council did not
rescind the bylaw. -
"lf the doctor isu t soured, I -
sure am,"" said Deputy -reeve
!Stan Profit,' Goderich. ""It is
inconceivable that what tool
place today didtake place, n
Following the meeting, Dr.
Mills said it will be up to the
Board of Health if and when
the proposed.plumbing bylaw
will be presented again. -

DOES REMEMBP.ANCE DAY HAVE
A MESSAGE?
MARY CRONIN •
Blyth Public School
Do we really know what war
was like? Can we really ima-
gine how many men died? We
have seen pictures and shows
of war and men fighting, but
what was it like for -real? It
was twenty=iive years ago that
men fought and gave their lives
so we could have the peace that
we have today. Hundreds of
men died in the shadow of vic-
tory.' Wives prayed and waited
at home, hoping that their husb-
ands and sons mould come back
to them, alive.- But most of -
the wives were disappointed,
Most young -people don't really
realize the real cost of war,- and
how many men died.. Some of
the men that still had most of
their life to live. When the war.
Was over there were rows upon
rows of crosses and graves .of -
young and old men who fought
and suffered the pain that no
young.person has ever felt. The
War ended in despair and pity.
Peace came like a shy stranger.
We hope it will stay that way
and there will be, no more fight- •
ing, killing and• misery like
e
there was. But still their nam e
will live for ever more.'
Beneath the crosses firm and white
Stand poppies glowing red and bright,
Poppies, the symbol meaning peace
Made, by soldiers when war.did cease.
In forests, fields, cities and towns,
Battles were fought and men shot down.
On the land, the sea, and in the sky,
The shadow of death gave an ugly cry.
Through many hardships, grief, and despair
The soldiers fought for the peace we share.
They fought through snow, wind, and rain,
So we may be happy and free again.
At the service on Remembrance Day,
While laying the wreath, all bright and gay,
We thank the soldiers for their gift so bold,
For peace and freedom are better than gold.
MEMORIES -
The end of the war rum through my mind,
As I think of the men who were left behind.
In pastures and meadows flowers grow.
The sorrow of menthe petals show.
We think of the men more and more,
The brave ones who fought in the war.
They fought far our country which they thought right,
But many died that long night.
We who remember the men who have died,
Will honour their memory with flowers of pride.
REMEMBRANCE DAY
CAROL JEWITT
Hullett Central School
Blood was shed, in World War One,
That peace could thrive today,
the comrades, in the battlefields
Had little time to pray
,That faith reserved their families
Still living; day by day,
M guns were heard, and death was felt
By men eternally.
A great respect to them is paid
By all of our salutes,
To thank them for defending us
Through hardships and disputes.
Gay poppies flourish in the fields
The scarlet red tributes
The remembrance of the painful blood
Shed by their.fellow 'men.
The meaning of the poppies
Is never to be lost, ,
As peace continues in our land'
Of warmth and bitter frost,
Still holding high the given torch
To show that war has past,
With loyal hearts the war veterans
The spell of freedom, cast.
Our Canada, a nation,
Fulfilled with peace, from war,
Should, with faith, extend thy thanks
To soldiers killed in war,
Who plodded 'cross the battle fields
With not a,nioment to spare,
"Sleep in peace ye young brave men
Who rest, in Flanders Field!"
LET'S REMEMBER
REMEMBER
JEANETTE MA NNI NG
Blyth Public School
Why was I standing here?
Here among people, most of
whom I don't even now. Dere
among veterans and legion me-
mbers,. mothers mourning their
lost husbands and sons, and
others grieving over the loss of
a friend during some act of
combat. Again I asked myself,
why was I here? I had lost no
'one in the war, I wasn't a
member of the legion, I wasn't
even bon' when the war was
raging. Was I here because
womeone had forced me to
come, or was it because I felt
it o proper. No, I was here
because I wanted to remember.
I wanted to remember 'all who
had died in the war. I had to
bring the past back into living
for awhile and study it. 1 must
grasp the meaning of Remem-
brance Day through what has
happened before and after the
war. I must face the cold, hard
fact that is so difficult to under-
stand. War is a most t2R161e,
that is difficult to is a most terrible,
ugly experience, Everyone
and everything connected with
war in anyway is hurt. Some
are gouged so deeply that they
never heal, They die more of
sorrow than of any other cause.
I.know so little of war, how
it hurts people, how it forces
and strangles them into doing
things that they don't want to
do, Men fought fiercely to the
death for what they strongly
believed in or for what rightly
belonged to them and their
country. I do not understand
how these men lived under
the conditions they did, living
in rat infested holes, nothing
to eat, dead bodies of their
friends and comrades strewn -
upon the cold hard ground and
perhaps living for days without
food and water or medication
and a serious injury disabling
the m to move. Still, no
matter how many people die
or the number of disasters and
• calamities that happen, war
lives
overcome
on and no one man can
overcome its barrier.
If in the future there is to
develop a Thrid World War,
how would I take it? If I
was called to duty to serve
as a nurse or a secretary or
perhaps so .ne other position
would I be ready to serve
my country as best I could, no
matter what threatens or hurts
me, no matter to what places
I may be sent? I cannot
answer this question till I have
seen war flashing about me
and have experienced how ter-
rible war really is.
Never will I be able to
express how much I hope there
is never another war. There
have been too many people
killed in World Warts one
and two., I only hope we will
remember the people who did
die and honour their bravery
and courage in a service called
"Remembrance Day".

of. the Wellington Federation of
Agriculture said'that a FCC pro-
gram is almost ready for the
legislature, which will help
young farmers to start out on
their own. This program will
include aid to achieve better
price stability. Mr, Whelan
called it, "the most revolut-
ionary program of all times".
On other topics, he stated
that it is not so well know that
Canada is only in second place
behind the US in the giving
of aid to the underdeveloped
nations of the world.
He reassured beef -producers
that the surtax on beef would
only be lifted when it was no
longer necessary. Nobody said
that it would be lifted after 30 -
days, only that it would be
reviewed every 30 days, Bros- -
ler and dairy farmers have in-
creased efficiency enormousl ,
but increased feed cost has taken
much of this .gainaway from the
farmer,' Canadian research is
continuously looking for ways
to -decrease the cost of feed.
Both farmers and consumers need
help, he stated,. we',did give
this help in the milk subsidy
program, which increased the
return to the farmer but held
the price to the consumer steady.
On the subjectof fertilizer he
said that dealers and Manufact-
urers were called to Ottawa last
year and as a result of the talks -
promised certain things. .Well,

they would do. They were

last year, Almost all rock phosp-

not caused by shortage of product
but by shortage of transport.
He promised to do all in his
power to make, sure of adequate
fertilizer supplies. •

Gordon Hill re-elected
.OFA head
OSHAWA- Cordon Hill of
Varna was re-elected president
of the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture on Tuesday, Nov.
27 when the farm organization
held its annual convention in
Oshawa at the Holiday Inn,
It means a fifth consecutive
one-year term for Mr. Hill,
the first such term in the
history of OFA. Mr. Hill won
on the first ballot over Frank
Wall, Port Burwell fruit farmer,
and John Carley of Leeds county.
• Mr. Wall was re-elected vice-
` president a post he also held
last year.
Mr. Hill said he was glad to
have had an election because
the post of chief executive of
the 18, 300 member farm group
was too responsible a one.for its
holder not to have a vote of con-
fidence from the members.
Sixteen other delegates beside ,
Mr. Hill attended the meeting
from Huron county. Huron,
with an OFA membership of
more than 1500 is divided into
four regions for representation
to OFA. Representing the
northwest region were Vince
Austin, Dungannon; Bill Beyer-
sbergen, Lucknow; Mason Bailey -
and Adrian Vos of Blyth.
Elected directors from the
four regions were Jack Stafford,
R.R. 1, Wroxeter; Mason Bailey
Blyth, North west Huron; Allan
Wolper, R.R. 3,. Parkhill, south
Huron and Maurice Bean, R.R. 1
Auburn for Centre Huron.
Both Mr. Stafford and Mr.
Bailey were nominated for the
position of vice-president but
declined to let their names
stand for election,

DO THEY EVER
GROW UP?
by Bill Smiley
Perhaps someone who has
gone the whole course can
tell me when one's children
stop ,. depending on their
parents when .it comes to
the. clutch,,
Is it in their forties,
fifties, sixties? Certainly it
is not in their: twenties,
Recently, we received a
note from ,our son Hugh, to
• tell us he was taking some
holidays and would be home
for a few days' visit,
I thought, "Good, He's
saved :some money and.
won't arrive broke, as usual,"
He had,
, Some days' 'later, in a
telephone conversation with
daughter Kim, ',we learned
that Hugh: had dropped in
to see her, and had drifted
off, muttering . something
about going to: Chicago,
That is a slightly roundabout
way of getting to our place.
• And a few days later
there was a collect call from
Houston,Texas. You guessed
it, Hugh, flat broke. Could
we wire hint money for bus
fare to get home?
Ile was crafty enough
to call when I was at work.
I would probably have re-
fused the collect call, and
regretted it later. Or I'd
have' shouted, "No, I will
not send you the price of
one : serving of Kentucky
fried chicken", and slammed
up the receiver.
But he sweet.talked his
mother for five minutes
before he popped the
question. She was not only
affronted but taken aback
and didn't think quickly
enough to tell him we were
just off to Florida or the
west coast or anywhere.
She ° waffled a bit; " and
eventually said she'd see
what his Dad said but not
toe expect. anything. He
sighed with relief, and told
her where to send the money.
I came home from work'
on a Friday after a hard
week. All 1 wanted was to
get- my shoes off, have a
quiet drink before dinner,
and read the latest goodies
aboutthe energy crisis.
And all I got was a family
crisis, a scramble to the
bank, and a dash= to get to
the telegraph office before
it closed for the weekend,

mother it was 90 degrees.
down there,)
And she agreed with me,
"He doesn't deserve a cent.
,He, was told he was never
to do that"again, Ungrateful
young pup. Why doesn't he
hitchhike home? "
"Well," I said, "some of
those southern states • are
pretty tough on hitchhikers.
Throw them in jail for a
month" •
I could just see he'r think
ing of her first-born slaving
on a Georgia chain•gang or
something of the sort. After -
a heated half hour, we
agreed that money isn't
everything; that you can't
take it with you, that he's
the only son we have, that
it would be nice to see
hiin, and that' I'd" better
hustle if I wanted to get to
the bank in time.
It cost me about $115,
counting the bus' fare and
grub. to get home, the cost
of the collect Call, and the
charge for sending the
money, .
That's what I call sending

Hurpn--p-ferth,PresbOe_ry ;o
Church meets in Stratford
Rev. Fred Faist, President
of London Conference for 1973/
74, and Minister of St. John's
United Church, Stratford, asked
the members . of Huron -Perth
Presbytery, at a meeting held
in Kirkton, Tuesday, November
27, to think of the Church as an
"Open Hand". This is the sym-
bol he has chosen for his term
as Conference President. In
explaining his choice of this
symbol he said, "How you use
the word Church has far reaching
imPlicati
om
for the shape and
direction of your life."
He then further outlined the
three reasons why he chose the
open hand as his Theme. "The
open hand explains something
about the church; that people
are important; that we must be
flexible, adaptable, and open,
and approachable. The open
hand suggests, in the second
place, that we hold something
very precious in our hand that the
world needs; that is, moral
excellence. But the greatest
treasure we hold is Jesus Christ
and his inexhaustible magnif-
inence... In the third place,
the open hand takes hold of
something. We as a church are
to be involved, we are to take
hold of the needs of the world
and of the community, andof
our own church. If we cannot
do the big things, at least we
can start on the little things.
And most important, we are to
take hold of the hand of God
and discover that here is the
kind of confidence which allows
you to walk with your head up,
ready to face anything as it
comes.11.
Presiding for the day long
meeting, was Rev. Doug Warren
of Crediton, Chairman. One
of his first privileges was to
introduce the new minister for
the Clinton, Wesley -Willis
Pastoral Charge, Rev. John
Oestroicher, . B. A. , B. R. E.
Also present for the day was one
of two intended candidates for
the Ministry, Mr. William
Richards of Fordwich.
During the rest of the day,.
members received many reports,.
voted, on matters of local and
national Church policy), and
debated issues affecting the
life of the Church. For one ,
hour before lunch members
divided up into five Division
meetings. Each of these re-
ported
in the:afternoon session.
In the Division of Commun-
ication report, it was learned
that the Resourse Centre has*
been set up in Main St. United
Church, Mitchell. Rev. Ray
Lindsay, of Monkton, the con-
venor, noted that the Centre
has film -strips all the "Faith
Alive" cassettes, some of the -
"Thesis Theological" cassettes,
and most of the printed "Reso-
urce Kits" for Christian Educa-
tion work. These are all ava-
ilable for loan, free, to chur-
ches Presbytery.

Singtime, the United Church,
weekly religious program shown
Sundays on CKNX-TV, should
be in color sometime in Febru-
ary, announced Rev.- Barry
Passmore of Wingham, the pro-
gram director for the show. In
answer to a question he said
that the program costs about
$10,000 a year.
Rev. Ross Crosby, of St.
Marys, reporting for the Divis-
ion of World Outreach, was
pleased to say that 15 new
missionaries had been appointed
to overseas posts for 1974. This
requires however, increased
monies from the Mission and
Service Fund, . Members were
encouraged though, when Rev.
Don Deas, from Mitchell, in
presenting the Division of
Stewardship report, showdd that

were up 4.6 per cent over
last year. We still have to raise
