WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1974.
The Standard almost had a new recruit on the staff this week. Ace, the cat reporter, figured It was an
easy way to earn your cat food and decided to gl'.-1 this writing game a try. It looked easy enough, even
if the editor did moan and groan a lot about how hard it was to write...
Let's see now, how doyou get a capital A for Ace. A guy's got to have a byline on his first story.
Goodness, this Is harder than it looks. Maybe the old editor Isn't just bellyaching.
I give up. A guy's got to be nuts to try to make a living this way.

Meeting
with cabinet
ministers brings hops
of power line change
A delegation from Huron
county which met with the
resource ministers of the Ontario
cabinet came away from the
meeting last week hopeful that it
had made an impression with its
argument to save Huron county
farmland.
The delegation, led by mem-
bers of the Bruce -Huron Hydro
Negotiating Committee,.met with
representatives of the ministries
of agriculture, natural resources,
environment and energy, They
were backed up by Murray
Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron -Bruce
and Jack Riddell, M.P.P. for
Huron.
The delegation was in Toronto
to try to convince the cabinet to
put pressure on Ontario Hydro to
consider routes for the Douglas
Point to Seaforth power corridor
that would not be over good farm
land, The committee claims the
line can be built over other land
that is not of great value for
farmland,
Dave McCallum of Wingham
who was a member of the
delegation said Thursday evening
following the meeting that the ,
delegation had been received
well. He said that Bert Lawrence,
"super minister" for resource
development told the delegation
the brief they presented was
"very timely". He said the old
book was closed on the way Hydro
lines were planned.
Mr. McCallum said Agricultur-
al Minister William Stewart
promised full backing for the
group. Darcy McKeough, Energy
Minister, was not at the meeting
but his assistant was and took
comprehensive notes on the
happenings.

Editorials
Black -faced Reds
One wonders, listening to the reports of the current election
campaign being viciously waged in Britain, if Prime Minister Heath
watched the results of the last election in the Province of Ontario.
Mr, Heath may not have seen the stunning effect Premier William
Davis' Red -scare tactics had on the electorate, but if he didn't, he
certainly would have approved, While the Davis campaign was based
around the fear that the socialist (rather tame socialist too) New
Democratic Party might gain power if the Tories didn't save, the
province,Mr. Heath's
Tories
are
concentrating c
h,
t n th fear that the
g
on
mining unions, to ns, which have some communist party members, are trying
to bankrupt the country.
Mr. Davis was very successful in bamboozling the irrational Ontario
voters (though not, thank goodness in our area), but one wonders if
Mr. Heath can pull the wool over the eyes of the British voters.
Certainly, the news that some leaders of the mining unions are
communists is not comforting, but Mr, Heath's picturing the miners as
out to ruin the country just because they want higher pay is completely
ignoring the real facts of the story. British miners receive about $90 a
week for their dangerous, thankless job. They work long hours in
horrid conditions for their money. They get paid Tess, in many cases,
for their back -breaking labour, than secretaries. Most of us would
refuse to do their job at all, let alone at the wages they get.
In his stubborn bureaucratic way, Mr. Heath has insisted that the
miners can not get an increase in wages because it would upset his
wage
and price controls, For every rule, however, ever there must be an
exception, and this would certainly seem to be one,
One wonders if Mr, Heath seriously believes what he is doing is right
or whether he is being a political opportunist who thinks his Red scare
will rub off on the opposition Labour party and give him a new mandate
for another five years. For the people of Britain, it doesn't much
matter. In insisting on confronting the unions, Mr, Heath has set the
nation on a course that even if he wins, the people lose.
Education:
more than the 3R's
Education Minister Thomas Wells said last week that he thinks it's
time that morals need to be a part of the education program in Ontario
schools.
He's so right.
Some years ago the teaching of religion in Ontario schools was
ordered discontinued. Since that time, there has been no teaching in
schools based on proper conduct in society.
In this day and age when even the leaders of nations set examples of
how not to behave, somewhere our children need moral guidance. The
schools cannot work miracles, but perhaps they can at least help.
Inflation hockum
Supply and demand, the backbone of the capitalist economic system,
has been blamed of late for rising prices in nearly everything.
Oil is in short supply, we're told, so we'll have to pay more. Paper is
in short supply, they say, so you'll have to pay extra. Sugar is hard to
get, so the price is hiked,
It's an argument that's wearing thin these days. Like a tune that's
played too often, it's starting to grate on one's nerves. Certainly, there
are shortages in some things, but these genuine shortages and the
higher prices that have gone with them, have been used as an excuse to
hike the price of just about everything available. The higher cost of
milk and sugar and labour is being used as an excuse right now for
another four cent increase in the cost of bread, when the cost has risen
so many times we can't remember in the past year.
It effects even little things. Someone mentioned the other day that
the cost of those little reinforcements students use in their loose-leaf
notebooks, has increased by 400 per cent from the suppliers (the boxes
are half as big and twice as expensive as before).
The country is gripped by what economists call "inflation
psychology". Rising prices are so much the order of the day that
people come toexpect everything to cost more than it did the last
time it was bought. It allows many manufacturers to hike prices
drastically when there is no real need for an increase. The extra income
from the price in these cases, is all profit,
The benefit of this gouging, however, usually goes to the
manufacturer or the distributor. The merchant at the selling end gets
the problems. One local merchant at the annual meeting of the Blyth
Board of Trade last week told the story of taking an appliance back to
the city factory where it was repaired for a local resident, The factory
charged $3.00 just to put on an electric plug. It's the kind of thing, the
merchant noted, that the local merchant is expected to do for nothing.
The trouble with this inflation psychology is that somewhere,
someone has got to pay the price, and in 99 per cent of the cases the
little guy, whether the consumer on a fixed income, or the local
merchant who with a fixed market but with increasing costs, who is
caught in a squeeze that may put him out of business.
What is the answer? No one really seems to know, not the
government, not the opposition parties, not the economists. Somebody
had better find the answer soon however, or the country's little guys
are going to be in real trouble,
In the meantime, surely something can be done to catch and convict
those opportunists who see our present problems as a chance to make a
killing.

NEWSPAPERS ERRORS
(The Port Elgin Times)
Recently, a university professor
had a few unkind words to say
about newspaper writing and
errors. To answer these charges,
we relate to a penned version of the
Letter
to the
editor
Dear Editor,
As a Journalist, your support is
needed to correct what strikes me
as an extraordinarily dangerous
situation in the Highway Traffic
Act.
Like many citizens i have, for
years, been under the impression
that the regulations required that:
a) School buses must have
flashing lights operating when
children are being loaded or
unloaded.
b) School buses must have a sign
or lettering, indicating "DO NOT
PASS ,WHEN SIGNALS FLASH-
ING".
c) Motorists - approaching from
either direction must come to a
full stop until the flashing lights
stop.
Did you realise that in areas
where speed limits are not more
than 35 miles per hour none of
these regulations are require-
ments? Indeed, the Act allows the
council of any city to exempt
highways under its jurisdiction
where speed limits may be more
than 35 miles per hour.
As a father and citizen, I
submit to you that the protection
provided a child in a 36 mile per
hour or over zone, is just as vital
to a child in a 35 mile or under
zone.
Being hit by a car at any speed
could indeed cost the precious life
of a youngster.
This week 1 have written all
members of our Provincial Parl-
iament asking for introduction of
a bill amending these inconsist-
encies in the Highway Traffic Act.
I implore your investigation
and public support as a Journal-
ist.
Respectfully,
Hugh A. Crothers, Toronto
Mark Twain said it: "Keep away
from people who try to belittle
your ambitions. Small people
always do that, but the really
great make you feel that you, too,
can become great."

old 'foronto Telegram, who wrote:
"The newspaperman writes his
story in a rush, just one step ahead
of the deadline for the edition. He
always does this, even when he
could have written it three days
before. if he didn't wait for the last
minute to write it, he wouldn't be a
newspaperman,
"And for the story he must rely
on sources of information from
those involved; changing of minds
by informants; not to mention the
"no comments" from doctors,
police or political figures.
"Steaming with the speed with
which it has been handled, the
story stands before the reader in
cold print, a half-hour after it was

TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
A HOCKEY FAN
Charlie wants to be adopted. He wants to have a mother and
father, maybe a big brother who plays hockey, and a home
where he knows he belongs.
Anglo-Saxonin descent, Charlie, 11 years old, has beautiful
dark eyes, brown hair and fair skin and is tall, well-built and
healthy. There is a history of epilepsy in his family and as a
small child he had some mild seizures. The last was in 1969, He
requires no medication,
Charlie is talkative, active and outgoing. He makes friends
easily and is popular with his classmates, Charlie is a co-
operative youngster who likes to please. He enjoys crafts, is
fond of music and likes books, though a slow reader.
In a special education class for below average children,
Charlie tries hard and teachers report his progress is good
though he sometimes has difficulties. He is expected to continue
in special class and will go on to learn a trade.
Parents who enjoy family activites with their children are
being sought for Charlie. He needs a home where he will receive
stimulation without pressure, where the atmosphere is warm
and consistent and where his happy disposition will be
appreciated.
To inquire about adopting Charlie, please write to Today's
Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2112. For general adoption information,
please contact your local Children's Aid Society.

Hospital in Whitby, was demoted
for refusing to assist in an
abortion. Concerned people were
asked to write the hospital board.
Word was received that a
Birthright Satellite is established
in Goderich; a free emergency
pregnancy councilling service
that gives immediate, personal
and completely confidential help.
They are a nonprofit, non-sectar-
ian organization whose purpose is
to help the unmarried girl or
married woman who find them-
selves with an. unwanted preg-
nancy and don't really want to
have an abortion, but are
pressured by those closest to
them and by society.
Help is as close as your
telephone. A trained volunteer
will talk and explore the possible
alternatives to abortion. What-
ever the need may be • a place to
live here or out of town, medical
and obstetrical help, legal aid,
clerical or other councilling.
Birthright co-operates with exist-
ing social agencies. Lines of
communication will be set up with
no delay or embarrassment.
Competent physicians, attorneys
and clergymen of many faiths
stand ready to help in any way
that is necessary. For further
information call 524.7157,
Goderich.

Atoms' win streak
ends at 5
The Atoms won five games in a
row before being defeated by
Wingham 4-2 Friday night. Both
teams played extremely well
during the entire game. Wing -
ham led 1.0 going into the third
period, but Blyth kept continual
pressure on but were unable to
capitalize on many chances. Goal
scorers were Wes Burkholder
assisted by Robbie Plunkett and
Don Reid scoring an unassisted
goal.
In a previous game with
Wingham the Blyth boys came
out strong and defeated Wing -
ham 2-1. The lone goal scorer was
Bruce Hunking with two goals
and Robbie Plunkett picking up
the lone assist.
The last scheduled game with
Lucknow proved to be Blyth's
right from the start as Blyth won
5-0. Both goal tenders worked
hard to come up with the big
shut -out. Goal scorers were Bruce
Hunking from Jim Oster; Robbie
Plunkett from Bruce Hunking and
Don Reid; Don Reid unassisted;
Robbie Plunkett from Wes
Burkholder and Bruce Hunking
and Charles Hull notching the last
goal.
Next home game should prove
to be a thriller with the boys
meeting Brussels this Friday
night.
Hockey tropies
wanted
The Blyth Minor Sports Comm-
ittee has decided to institute a
program of annual trophies to be
awarded to minor hockey players.
The trophies will honour the
most valuable player and most
improved player in each of the
five divisions.
Anyone interested in sponsor-
ing these trophies, to be
displayed year-round in a new
trophy case at the Blyth arena,
should contact John Elliott.
Sponsors will pay about $25 the
first year and $5 per year
thereafter.

Sport Talk
THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEB. 20, 1974. PG.S.
Our overlooked athletes
This time of year, hockey gets all the headlines in Canada. The NHL
gets the big ones. The WHA gets a few. Junior hockey gets some and
our local hockey programs get what's left.
So, even when something big like the Commonwealth Games
happens in winter, it doesn't get all that much attention. Like the day
Canadian girls swept all three medals in diving and the story got buried
far back in the pages of the sports section of the London Free Press,
behind hockey and countless wire service stories about U.S. football,
U.S. boxing and U.S. auto racing and golf, Let's face it, Canadians, led
by Canadian sportswriters, just don't care much about sports like track
and field, swimming, wrestling and other non -glamour sports...except,
that is, when they take our athletes to task for poor showings at the
Olympics and other prestige events.
Thus, it was almost lost on most Canadians that Canada made a
significant step out of the backwoods of international sports at the
Games in New Zealand. Canada in the past few years has been moving
progressively ahead in swimming, despite our climate and the fact that
only in the big cities (and few of them at that) are there indoor pools
and instruction in competitive swimming. First it was a single
swimming star here and there like Mary Stewart or Elaine Tanner. But
now, Canada has a well-balanced team and for the first time in New
Zealand, seriously threatened the powerful Australians.
When the last swimmer climbed out of the pool, the Australians and
Canadians were virtually tied for top spot. Since Australia is ranked
behind only the U.S. and East Germany as a swimming power, it can
be seen that Canada has moved into some pretty exclusive territory.
Even the Aussies were impressed. One star swimmer pointed out
that it was the peak of the season for their team in the southern
hemisphere but definitely not for Canada. "It looks like Canada has
used these games as a springboard to make sure they'll see their flag
flying high in '76" (at the Montreal Olympics), she said.
It would seem that someone, somewhere has been able to catch on to
how to produce champions in this country. Here we are, a small
northern nation ranked among the best in the world in swimming
although probably most of the population probably couldn't do one
length of the pool. We are doing in swimming what the Russians,
Swedes, Czecs and now the Yanks are doing in hockey: taking those
athletes with most potential and pushing them to new heights.
But though it's nice to win medals, it doesn't really indicate much
about the country that produces champions. We can spend money and
work hard and win medals. But what does it really matter if the rest of
the nation is still flabby and out of shape? We may be getting there,
but we still have a long way to go before the nation can really be top
flight as far as athletics arc concerned. What we need is a nation-wide,
grassroots program to involve young and old in more sports like
swimming, and track and field. If we ever get that, we'll really be
winners.

Settlement announced
in warblefly spraying
suit
A settlement has been reached
between Donald Alexander of RR
1, Gowanstown and the General
Accident Assurance Company
which carries the Township of
Wallace's liability insurance,
Reporting on behalf of the
company, insurance agent Frank
Campbell of Mitchell said the
company will pay Mr. Alexander
$2500 and will forego their court
costs.
In September, 1972, the Ontario
Supreme Court awarded Mr.
Alexander $8,100 in damages for
cattle losses which he claimed were
caused by negligent spraying for
warble flies by Wallace Township
employees.
The General Accident Assurance
Company which carries the insur-
ance through the Frank Cowan
Insurance Agency of Woodstock,
appealed the case to the Court of
Appeals and were granted a
favorable decision in the fall of
1973.
Mr. Alexander then entered an
appeal to the Supreme Court of
Canada. Backed by a delegation of
farmers, Mr. Alexander appeared
before Wallace council in Decem-
ber to see what support he could
get regarding his case. At that time
he reported Supreme Court costs
amounted to $7,200, Appeals Court
costs, $1,137 and his own lawyer's
fees approximately $3,000,
When Wallace council decided it
"supported Mr. Alexander morally
but not financially", area farmers
began canvassing for funds to

"He knew Mr. Campbell was

ment, Mr. Murphy replied the
settlement had been reached after
about three hours of negotiations
between himself and the comp-
any's lawyer. He estimated court

"1 was notified by telephone
shortly after six o'clock in the
morning on Oct. 2, 1972 that the
insurance company had launched
an appeal in the Court of Appeals,"
Mr. Alexander said. "We had
written confirmation of this on Oct,
18 and on Oct. 30 we received a
letter offering us a settlement of
$8000 including court costs. By this
time the case had already been
entered in the Appeals Court and
Supreme Court costs alone, which
at this time were the responsibility
of the insurance company, amount-
ed to $7200 - so why would I accept
-such a settlement after I'd been
awarded the case in the Supreme
Court?"
Mr. Alexander produced two
letters dated Oct. 18 and Oct. 30,
1972, backing up his coninients.
Reading , from the report, Mr.
Campbell stated that three judges
of the Appeals Court had found no
evidence to support liability against
the sprayer Ralph Huls, his
assistant Murray McLaughlin or
against the township.
As early as Dec. 21, 1973, lawyer
for the insurance company and Mr,
Alexander's lawyer, Daniel Mur-
phy of Goderich, according to Mr.
Campbell, were trying to negotiate
a settlement.
At that time, he said, Mr.
Murphy suggested that "if we
were prepared to pay $2500 to Mr,
Alexander and forego our costs,
then he (Mr. Murphy) thought Mr.
Alexander would be willing to
preclude the whole affair rather
After the Supreme Court hearing
and before the matter was brought
before the Court of Appeals, Mr.
Campbell reported the company
had made Mr. Alexander another
offer of $5,000 plus court costs of
$2500, making a total of $7500.
This point however was disputed
by Mr. Alexander when he was
later contacted regarding the

Beef outlook good
Canada Packers
Lloyd McLeod, Manager, Gener-
al Beef Department, Canada
Packers Limited, said today that
the outlook for southwestern
Ontario's cattle industry appears
very favourable. He was speaking
to the Middlesex County Beef
Improvement Association on Thur-
sday, Feb, 7, in Parkhill.
He pointed out that eastern
Canada, which includes the Mari-
times, Quebec and Ontario has 73
per cent of Canada's population but
produces only 39 per cent of the
total Canadian beef supply. Ship-
ments from western Canada and
imports from the United States
make up the balance. These figures
indicate great potential for local
producers, assuming competitive
prices.
Mr. McLeod said that competi-
tive prices are a good possibility
says
since southwestern Ontario nas
good grazing land, favourable
climate excellent feed supplies •
particularly corn, and a large
consuming market in Toronto,
He also said than, based on past
performance, Ontario's beef prod-
ucers are capable of meeting
the challenge. The Province's
population in the past ten years has
grown at the rate of 2 per cent per
year and Ontario farmers have
increased production of beef 2.6
per cent annually. Therefore,
Ontario has shown it can improve
beef production very substantially
just to look after its requirements.
Mr. McLeod concluded by
saying, "With a good demand for
your product and the ability to
produce competitively, the long-
term outlook must be considered
encouraging.

The longer, brighter days

geranium needs, says Bob Flem-
ing, a horticultural expert with
the Ontario Ministry of Agricult-
ure and Food.
Cut the shoots from the parent
plant and root them in coarse
sand. Once the cuttings have
formed roots (in three to four
weeks), remove the new plants
and place them in small clay or
peat pots. Use a good potting soil.
It is important to allow the new
cuttings to wilt in a warm room
for 24 hours before rooting them
in the sand. It is also a good idea
to dip the ends of the cuttings into
a fungicide, such as captan,
before potting.
During the early growing
period keep the sand barely
moist. A bright, but sunless
window in a cool room is an ideal
location. Grow the plants indoors
until late May, then transplant
into the garden.

Your taxes
Taxes and
BY J.J. HAGARTY
Area Coordinator and Farm
Management Specialist
The art of taxation has been
defined as "plucking the goose to
obtain the largest amount of
feathers, with the least amount of
hissing." Farmers hate to admit
that anyone ever listens. But, this
time they must admit • somebody
got the message; When the
Federal Tax Legislation was
introduced with its Capital Gains
Tax and Provincial Legislation
retained Succession Duties, many
farmers felt that in one genera-
tion the family farm concept
would be doomed.
Both Federal and Provincial
Legislators have provided ways of
transferring the family farm with
out causing sale of the farm to pay
taxes. It is still up to farmers and
their consultants to follow the
rules and set up tools to do the
job. It won't happen automatic-
ally by jumping blindly into
partnerships or corporations, in
fact, true partnerships and
corporations have lost much of
their appeal since the tax laws
were revised.
Some farmers surely must feel
like throwing up their hands and
saying, "Let's get out before the
paper work drives us out."
However, farmers are used to
doing one thing at a time and
getting the job done. They know
that to grow a crop you have to do
some planning, plow, cultivate,
seed, pack, pick stones, spray,
etc. Estate planning and tax
management are not that much
different.
Capital Gains Tax is now
deferred when a farmer sells or
wills his capital assets (land,
buildings, machinery) to his
children. Special rules allow
children to take over father's
adjusted cost base (Valuation Day
value). If the assets are held by a
partnership or corporation there
will be tax on capital gain each
time ownership is transferred.
the farm
Recent changes in Succession
Duties and Gift Taxes allows
transfer of farming assets without
causing tax. No Succession Duties
apply to estates under $100,000 or
to any amount passing to a
spouse. Duty on farming assets
(land, buildings, livestock, quota,
shares' in a farming corporation)
is forgiven over a 25 year period.
These assets must continue in
farming. This does not say that
the family member must live on
the farm. To qualify, the family
member must live in Canada, The
land could be rented to someone
else who would farm it.
Gifts are used to reduce
Succession Duties and to provide
equity for children who will need
to seek outside sources of credit.
These outside sources are often
required to pay off bequests to
other family members who have
left the farm.
Gifts of up to $2,000 per year to
any donee (example - son) arc
allowed with an annual maximum
of $10,000 per donor. The donor
must outlive the gift by five years
to avoid having its value brought
back into the estate for Success-
ion Duties. Recent changes allow
a farmer to make a once-in-a-life-
time gift of up to $50,000 to a
member of the family. The donor
must be a resident of Ontario who
is farming. The gift must apply to
farming assets. The gift must be
made in one calendar year, Both a
husband and wife may make gifts
of up to $50,000 to the same or
different family member who
keep the assets in farming. The
donor does not have to outlive this
gift by five years to avoid
recapture for Succession Duties,
An important point is that a
mortgage or demand note is not
considered a farming asset. There
are ways of retaining the family
farm in tact until it goes out of
farming, or is sold by the family.
The goose will still be plucked!
But the hissing will be much
delayed.

Pork producers want
more stability
The Huron County Pork Prod-
ucer Association held its annual
meeting in the Clinton Legion
Hall on Feb. 13. In addressing the
meeting, Keith Weeden of
Paisley, Chairman of the provin-
cial marketing board, wanted
more stability in the pork
industry. Production cost will
likely be higher in the coming
year, he said, quoting high grain
prices and higher fuel prices as
some to the reasons. He didn't
think that subsidies were the
answer.
Jim McGregor of Kippen, a
director of the marketing board,
blamed the fluctuating prices on
the unexpected high runs of hogs
to market. It seems that hog
farmers don't keep statistics up to
date with their production plans
and as a result the board and the
packers can't plan ahead either.
Mr. McGr'gor suggested that
price fluctuations be kept at a
daily minimum of 25 cents,
similar to the operation of the
future market. He said that this
would create a greater stability.
The number of producers went
down by 7,000 since a year ago,
he said.

Farm input cost is up by 20.2
per cent while food cost is up 18
per cent, Statistics Canada. So
anyone who thinks that the
farmer is getting rich off the poor
consumer will do good to look at
those figures.

by land speculators. Price of

Beef is a great family food

yields two or three times as many
servings as short ribs, From the

moves
to solve
farm labour
problems
THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEB. 20, 1974. PG.13.
Many Ontario farm operators
have been frustrated in recent
years by a persistent shortage of
qualified farm labor for seasonal
and runtime work. To ease this
problem, the Agricultural Man-
power Services Branch of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food, in co-operation with
Canada Manpower, has develop•
cd a number of programs.
"The primary function of the
Manpower Services Branch has
been in the selection and
placement of fulltimc farm
workers,,, says W.H. Clarkson,
Branch Director, "Last year.
there were 215 placements of
fulltimc farm workers on farms,
mostly from local sources."
A major obstacle to the
Branch's efforts to assist farmers
has been the difficulty in finding
people ‘villing to work 00 farms.
For this reason, there has been
some recruiting of fulltime
workers in Europe, Of the 215,,
runtime workers Placed on
Ontario farms last year, 54 were
recruited abroad.
'training programs for farm
workers with little or no agricult•
ural experience have been estab-
lished at the Kemptville and
Ridgetotvn Colleges of Agricult-
ural Technology, These programs
have met with only limited
success due to the difficulty of
finding people interested in farm
�� ork.
Ontario's urban areas could
well be future sources of farm
labour, Clarkson suggests. The
Manpower Services Branch
j launched a Junior Agriculturalist
Program last suninter in co-oper-
ation with the Extension Branch
of the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food and the
Youth Secretariat of the Ontario
government. Twenty young
people, from -urban areas, be-
tween the ages of 16 and 17,
worked on commercial farms
during the summer. They provid-
ed assistance to farmers and
:earned about farnr.eg as a
commercial proposition Plans arc
being made to extend this
program next summer.
Ocher programs offered by the
Branch to aid farmers include
financial assistance for construct-
ion of housing for seasonal
workers, the recruitment of
seasonal workers and the provis-
ion of transportation assistance to
bring Seasonal workers into
various areas from other parts of
Ontario and other provinces.

Bill Smiley
I wonder who really won
by BIII, Smiley
I've just been reading a book
about the Battle of Britain,
written by Peter Townsend. He
was a World War 11 tighter pilot
and was in the battle himself,
He's also the chap the royal
family wouldn't allow to marry
the then Princess Margaret,
because he'd been divorced. He
was probably lucky. Later she
married that pipsqueak photo-
grapher calla! Jones or Smith or
something. He is now Lord
Something -or -other; His wife is
Princess Northing -or -other.
Anyway, it's an excellent book,
for anyone interested in battles
that have changed the course of
history. Townsend has consulted
a mass of material from both
German and British records, and
gives a balanced picture of the B.
of B., looking at it from both sides
of the English Channel.
By the way, is anyone
interested in the battles that
changed history, besides me and
a few history buffs? There are
quite a few of them, and one must
wonder what would have happen-
ed to history if the battles had
been lost, not Avon.
At least one of them has
probably affected you, person-
ally.
If the Persians hadn't been
slowed down at Thermopylae and
trounced at Marathon, they'd
have wiped out the Greeks. Think
what that would have done to the
restaurant business in Canada.
Not to mention Jackie Onassis'
$20,000 a week in spending
money.
If Drake and his fleet had not
beaten the Armada, half the
people in Canada would be
talking Spanish, eating garlic and
going to bullfights.
How would you like to be out at
a bullfight this afternoon (it's 15
below outside), sitting in the
shady side of the arena, and
shouting "Ole", at a bullfighter
and a bull frozen, literally, into
the classic stance of the bull -ring?
And what about the battle of
the Plains of Abraham? If the
,Limeys hadn't won that one, I'd
be happily back in Ireland right
now, cutting peat in a bog,
instead of sitting here wondering
how in the name of energy I'm
going to meet my fuel bill.
Go farther back, If Joan D'Arc
(later St. Joan), hadn't lifted the
siege at Orleans, there'd be no
French, no Separatiste, Party, no
Canadian problem.
Another dandy was the Battle
of Culloden, where Bonny (re-
tarded) Prince Charlie was beaten
by the English. Instead of the
Scottish invading England in
kilts, they were forced to invade
with their brains, and they took
over the financial affairs of the
British Empire, Which, as we all
know, are somewhat less than
remarkable.
Back home again, there's the
Battle of Queenston Heights,
which nobody knows much about
except the residents of Queens -
ton, and few of them. But this
produced a great, pure, Canadian
image, Laura Sccord chocolates,
without which Canada could
probably not have maintained its
integrity, nationality and rotten
teeth.
The Yanks have theirs, The
Alamo, for example. One of the
most stupid affairs in history. (If
anyone ever tells you that you arc
going to fight to the last man,
throw away your gun and begin
running in all directions, prefer-
ably at once.)
There was, of course, the
Charge of the Light Brigade,
which didn't change the course of
anything. But it did serve as a
lasting memorial to the utter
stupidity of the British ruling
classes. And from that war we did
get the Cardigan sweater and the
Raglan coat. Not to be sneezed at.
Or on.
Perhaps you have sensed my
purpose in this little essay. Or,
perhaps, like me, you haven't.
Well, like, it's been a bad day,
y'know, and y'take an' put your
average Canadian up against
something, and he'll come up
with something, eh?
Oh, yeah, 1 remember, I was
wondering what would have
happened if we'd lost the Battle
of Britain. It would have been a
Jolly Good Show.
Hitler was prepared to make
generous terms, and divide the
known world with Britain. Pretty
good deal, I'd say.
But the obstinate, stupid
British decided to fight. And ev
en worse, they won. The
Luftwaffe did not destroy the
R,A.F., whicfi had the privilege of
being attached to me (or was it
the other way around?) during the.
war.
Result, Britain.is sliding down
the sluice into economic anonym-
ity. Germany is master of Europe,
financially.
It pays to lose wars. Germany
and Japan, the big losers in
W.W. 1I, are riding an incredible
winning streak in peacetime.
Italy won a short war in
Abyssinia, bombs against arrows,
machine-guns against . spears,
She's in her usual mess.
France "won" two wars and is
in chaos. Britain "won" two wars
and couldn't borrow a quarter for
a pint of bitter.
America "won" two wars 'and
the dollar is about as healthy as a
wet tissue.
Maybe we should have lost the
Battle of Britain,

IN I UIRE ABOUT OUR PRICES,
1973 in Huron
by ROBERT JOHNSTON
A, poor lonely trapper from
Poverty Ridge,
Down by the river of slime!
Chasing the Coon, and the
Rabbid Fox,
The Rat and the white Ermine.
Poling along in a leaky boat,
Just at the break of day
As we round the bend at the
river's mouth,
A Beaver swims away.
He is trying to hold this dirty
stream
Undo what man has done,
But the battle's lost, we know for
sure,
Before he's half begun!
We beach our boat on a rocky
shoal,
And climb the wooded hill,
To the field beyond, where the
foxes play,
And everything is still.
Across the field to the crystal
brook,
And there we stand aghast!
The stream is gone, is covered
o'er,
And everything's in grass.
The farmer stands on a treeless
hill,
Without a leaf for shade.
His cattle bawl, he hears them
call,
"Dear God, what a mess he's
made."
'He does not know that water is
The life of everything,
And it won't be very many years,
Till he'll wish he had that spring!
Sadly we turn our steps away,
Back to the river's mouth,
We lift our eyes to God's clear
skies,
One lone Goose flying south.

Behind the scenes
Solzhenitsyn the hero?
BY KEITH ROULSTON
One single man has grabbed
more headlines in the past week
or so than any other man. That
man wasn't U.S. President Nixon.
It wasn't Henry Kissinger. It
wasn't any of the big "world
leaders". The man was a simple
writer.
Former Blyth
resident dies
EDNA MAY BENTLEY
Edna May Bentley of Clinton
and formerly of Hullett township
and Blyth died Feb. 15, 1974 at
her home on Victoria Street,
Clinton following a lengthy
illness. She was 80 years of age.
She was the daughter of the
late Martin and Emeline Arm-
strong and was born in Hullett
township on October 18, 1893.
She attended the Hullett Bound-
ary School. She married Russell
C. Bentley in Londesboro on Oct.
1, 1919. He survives her.
From 1919 to 1924 the couple
lived on the Bentley Homestead
in East Wawanosh and from 1924
to 1952 lived at RR 3, Blyth. From
that date until 1964, they lived in
Blyth before moving to Clinton.
Surviving is one son, Roy N. of
Godcrich and one daughter, Mrs.
Anthony (Hazel) Mladenich of
Madison Heights, Michigan. Two
grandchildren also survive.
The funeral service took place
froni the Ball Funeral Horne,
Clinton on Feb. 17 with Mr.
Walter Gardner officiating. Burial
was in Clinton Cemetery.

T)'IVE THAT W4
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the
quiet Russian writer whose fate
hung in the balance for months
because of his criticism of the
Soviet system. Finally last week,
he was arrested, then excited with
his wife still left behind in
Russian.
The hearts of Western writers,
and probably a good many of their
readers, have gone out to Mr.
Solzhenitsyn. He has become a
hero to the Western world
because he criticised the Comm-
unist system.
But Canadian writer Farley
Mowatt pointed out last week, if
Solzhenitsyn had been a writer
who wrote pro -Soviet stories, he
would likely have been complete.
ly ignored by the West. He is
famous, not because he is a great
writer, but because he was a
spokesman for Western criticism
of Russia. At last, we have found
a Russian who says the things we
want the hear about Russia.
Is what he says right? The
Soviet officials call him a traitor
and say what he says is not true.
We, in the West, apparently take
everything he says as certain
truth. We, in the West, apparent-
ly take everything he says as
certain truth. Are we, perhaps, as
wrong as the Russians? Is the
truth somewhere between Solz-
henitsyn's version and the official
version?
The question, as usual, is much
more complicated than at first
appears. It is dangerous for us to
believe only one side of a story
but at the same time, there is no
way for us to find the whole truth.
It raises the question of secrecy
in the Soviet Union and the fact
that no one is allowed to criticize
the system. It is an unhealthy
situation for a country, and
sooner or later the Soviets
themselves must realize it.
Imagine, for example, if we in
Canada were not allowed to
criticize the government. For one
thing, yours truly would have
ended up in the clink long before
now. Certainly, there is some
unwarranted criticism of our
governments by the writers of
radio, television, newspapers and
other media, but how many times
have we been thankful for the
press. Where, for instance, would
the U.S. be if the press had been
muzzled before the Watergate
Affair as President Nixon tried to
do.
Would the war in Vietnam have
ended so soon but for the
criticism of the press? And
where, in Canada, would there be
a strong voice of dissent in cases
where the government has a huge
majority as in the present
government in Ontario or the
earlier Trudeau government in
Ottawa.
No, the power of the press to
criticize is very important to the
working of our system in the
Western world. It doesn't always
work perfectly, but it works often
enough to make it too valuable to
abandon. Russia will never really
be successful until it realizes that
criticism is a healthy part of
government.
