County costs
up in '74
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
Some of the year's budgets
have been presented to Huron
County Council and according to
Administrator John Berry, ,there
may have to be extra dollars
raised to finance the 1974
commitments,
Half in jest and half in
sincerity, Berry told county
councillors that when all the
budgets are totalled together this
year the outcome may require
some changes in the county mill
rate.
During 1974, general govern-
ment will cost $65,400 including
the Warden's salary and expen-
ses at $3,500; county council
sessions at $25,000; county
Governor General of Canda and
Madame Leger and letters of
conga atulations from the Hon.
Wm, Davis, Premier of Ontario,
and Robert McKinley, M.P. for
Huron and Murray Gaunt, M.P.
for Huron -Bruce,
A beautiful scroll was present-
ed to the bride and groom of 50
years by Murray Gaunt in person
on behalf of the Hon. Wm. Davis,
to serve as a constant reminder of
the memorable occasion.
Mr. and Mrs, Wm. Brown were
married March 1, 1924 at the
WEDNESDAY,MARCH 6, 1974
Presbytgerian Manse, by Rev.
George Tilford. Mrs. Brown was
the former Cora Fear, daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm Fear of
East Wawanosh.
They resided on the groom's
farm on the 9th line of Moris
Township where they farmed
prior to moving to their present
residence in Blyth in 1950. They
have three sons, Robert of Blyth,
Douglas of Blyth and Donald of
Victoria, B.C. They also have six
grandchildren.

along with $5,000 for telephone

for workmen's compensation; and
$8,090 in employee benefits.
No change was reported in the
grants to patriotic and educat-
ional funds. These total $11,040.
The budget for the Emergency
Measures department was set at
$800 with the province paying
$720.
The Social Services Committee
budget was brought in and
accepted by council at $453,250
with a county share of $94,130.
Last year's county share was
$72,551. The increase in the
budget can :be contributed to the
increase in general assistance
benefits effective January 1, said
chairman Reeve Charles Thomas.
Indigent funerals will cost more
in 1974. The basic fee to funeral
directors has been increased from
$300 to $425 and the maximum
allowable for a funeral has been
increased from $500 to $750.

Despite council's hopes
sewer project
can't be speeded up
Despite village council's hopes
and attempts, the Blyth sewerage
project will not be speeded up.
A." meeting • took place in
'Toronto last week between a
delegation from Blyth, supported
by Murray Gaunt, M.P.P., and
representatives of the Ontario
government dealing with the
project. and the local delegation
was told that nothing can be done
to get the project underway
before the 1976 target date
already set by the Ministry of the
Environment, •
Reeve Robbie Lawrie, councill-
ors Bill Howson and Rudy Liebold
and clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh
attended the meeting arranged
for them by Mr. Gaunt while they
were in Toronto at the Good
Roads Association convention.
The delegation reported to
council Thursday night that they
met with P.G. Cockburn, director
of project development; D.J.
Crabtree, superintendent of the
Provincial Program section; J.J.
Murray, superintendent of the
Sanitary Engineering Branch and
M. Latta, chief engineer of the
Project Branch.
Council had hoped to speed up
the commencement of the project
because of the problems encount-
ered with septic tank malfunction
at Blyth Public School but they
learned it just couldn't be done.
The • delegation reported to
council Thursday night that they
were received well by the
government officials who explain-
ed all the necessary steps that
must be taken before the work
can begin. It might be possible to
speed up the work by a couple of
months, they were told, but
because of the necessity of doing
the work in the summer, it would
be necessary for the• project to be
speeded up a whole year in order
for the town to benefit and this
was impossible.
The council was happy to learn,
I however, that much more action
has been going on behind the
scenes with the project than they
had realized. It was explained to
them that tests had been. made on
Blyth Creek by the department
and problems had already been
encountered when it was found
the flow of water in the creek was
barely enough to safely dilute the
effluent from the treatment
facilities. It was also learned that
possible sites for a lagoon for the
project have already been chosen,
Within a month the date for the
first public hearing on the project
will be set and owners of property
being considered for the lagoon
will be contacted.
"They've been doing much
more work than I knew about",
commented councillor Howson.
Council also learned while in
Toronto that the response to the
survey of need for senior citizen
housing in Blyth was considered
excellent by officials of the
Ontario Housing Corporation. A
total of 180 questionnaires were
mailed to residents of Blyth and
area and 70• replies were received
in Toronto. Officials from the
OHC will come to Blyth on Marcs.
15 to meet with members of
council and talk to some of the
people who filled in the question •
naire.
Sonie concern was expressed
by Clerk Walsh and members of
council at the misunderstanding
of the questionnaire by some
elderly residents. Mr. Walsh said
that some people seemed to think
the questionnaire was an applica-
tion for admittance to an
apartment project when this was
not the case. if a project is built in
Blyth, he noted, those interested
will still have to apply for
admittance and priority at that
time would be given on the basis
of need.
Council discussed the road
budget which includes resurfac-
ing of Morris and Dinsley Streets
which are beginning to break up.
Councillor Howson said he
couldn't see spending money on
the streets when they would be
simply torn up in two years for the
sewerage project anyway, `but
because of the way grant
structure is set up, there seemed
to be no choice. He noted that the
council must use its road building
grant this year or lose it for next.
He also noted that the contractors
on the sewerage project will only
put the streets back into the
condition they found them so if
the street is in bad repair, it will
stay in bad repair after the sewers
are installed.
Council voted to seek a further
$5000 road subsidy for the
extension of McConnell Street for
new housing expected in that area
this summer. Council noted that it
looks like a boons year for
residential construction in Blyth
this summer.
A by-law changing the name of
Wilson Street to Gypsy Lane was
passed by'council.
Clerk Walsh noted that he had
an application form at his office
for any local group interested in
applying for an Opportunities for
Youth grant. Deadline for applic-
ation is March 15.
The clerk was appointed the
lottery licensing officer for the
village at a rate of one dollar per
bingo and five dollars per raffle
was set.
Cost of land division
will increase June 1
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
People applying for land
severences in Huron County after
June 1 this year will pay more, In
the past, land severences have
cost the applicant $40; now it will
cost $50.
This charge is made upon
application and has no bearing on
whether or not the severence is
granted,
Revenue for the year was
estimated at $14,000 based on $40
each for 350 applications. The
county share is estimated at
$25,000.
Reeve Charles Thomas, Grey,
said that since the county is
subsidizing the program by
"more than half" it may be a
good, idea to increase the charges
to the individuals who are using
the services_of -tlte land division

PG. 2 THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 6, 1974
Let's clean up
Normally, talking about spring preparations at this time of the year
would seem far-sighted but this year, with the balmy weather of the
first part of the week, spring doesn't seem very far away.
The weather this week and the lack of snow reminds one that it will
soon be time to clean up the winter mess that has accumulated over the
past months, Many homeowners will do this on their own, of course,
but as a matter of civic pride, we think an official Clean-up, Paint -up
week should be declared by Blyth council in early April.
cion in
know of do this and thus promote a united action Some centres we
making their town look as neat and clean as possible. Some towns make
the town works department vehicles available for the period of one
week for carrying away refuse gathered by residents such as the
elderly who might not have access to use of a truck otherwise,
We've got a nice town here, but it could still be nicer,
It would also be a good time for council to crack down on the number
of abandoned vehicles and other eyesores in the village. Some of these
are even in plain view from main street and give a terrible impression
of the village to nonresidents and negate all the good work done by the
many conscientious residents.
And while they are improving the looks of the town, it would be nice
if council would promote a tree -planting campaign in the village, Old
age and the power saw have felled many of the beautiful old maples in
the past few years and there has been no attempt to replace them, It's
about time we began planting more trees or the town will soon look like
downtown Toronto without the big buildings .
Here we go again
Sometime back, someone in Goderich had a marvelous idea, He
wanted to see an unused piece of property turned into an
athletic -cultural centre.
Problem was, though, that the price tag was $1.5 million dollars and
that'k:nd of bread don't grow on trees, even in Goderich. He realized
that the local council wasn't about to ante up more than a million
dollars, so another solution had to be found. You guessed it, like every
other costly scheme in Goderich, this fellow decided to call it, not a
Goderich centre, but a county centre and thus have the 50,000 people
in the county paying for it.
It's an all -to familiar tune, of course. It has a familiar second verse as
‘vell which will see the rest of us in the county balking at picking up the
ill and then the third verse will come along with Goderich lamenting
how backward and short-sighted we all are because we won't go along
with their plan.
Certainly it would be nice for the citizens of Goderich and immediate
area to have an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor lighted tennis court
and quater-mile track, a 500 -seat theatre, a senior citizens wing and
health club with saunas, squash and handball and exercise courts.
Heck, we wouldn't mind having one here in Blyth either, But such
facilities should be paid for by those that are likely to use them, There's
no denying that if there was an indoor swimming pool in the county
swimmers from other towns would use it in winter when their own
pools are out of action, But surely the 860 residents of Blyth shouldn't
have to pay for something that will only be used by probably less than a
dozen people from Blyth in the winter. And if we in Blyth, only 20 miles
away, would get little benefit from the facility, how can you expect the
people of Exeter or Wingham or Fordwich, places many miles from
Goderich, to be happy about kicking in to support the project.
The problem of centralizing things in Goderich is that the town,
despite what its citizens might think, is not the centre of activity in the
cou.tty, The county is centred on Highway 4 and thus to be central to
the county something must be along that highway, somewhere in the
Byth to Brucefield area.
Then too, comes the fact that when it comes to recreation facilities, you
just can't go very far with centralization. Most forms of recreation must
be locally centred. No parent wants to drive 20 miles or more to take his
child to take part in a recreational activity (unless that child is of
exceptional calibre), Most recreation is part of community activity, and
that means must be within a radius of 10 miles at most. Certainly
athletes of exceptional ability may travel farther for special training but
his represents only a handful of persons.
And thirdly comes the point that most of the facilities proposed
already exist in the county. At Vanastra, the former air base south of
Clinton, there are track and field facilities, an indoor gym and just
about everything else you could want (except that the pool is outdoors
but plans were drawn up while the base was still in operation to enclose
the pool'. Perhaps, as Clinton recreation director Bev Wilton pointed
out, these facilities were turned down by the provincial government
last year when it discussed a sports training facility for the whole
province, but surely it can be fixed up to meet the standards necessary
for Huron for a lot less than $1,5 million.
As for the 500 -seat theatre, we already have one in the county, right
here in Blyth and we ARE at the centre of the county. Many people feel
Memorial Hall will become an unofficial cultural centre for the county
when renovation work is completed and it won't cost the taxpayers in
the rest of the county a red cent.
No, the rest of the people in Huron county just aren't willing to fork
over more cash every time someone in Goderich has some more city
ideas. If Goderich residents have city -tastes, they're just going to have
to pay the bill themselves.

Huron County council discusses
wolves, deer and hunting season
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
After January's discussions at
Huron County Council concerning
wolves and deer, three represent-
atives of the Ministry of Natural
Resources attended the February
session of county council, They
were Rene Jones, district biolog-
ist; Herb Clark, recreation super-
visor; and Roy Sellanger, pred-
ator control officer.
Huron County councillors
wanted the facts about deer and
wolves here, but much of the
news they received was not all
that well accepted.
For instance, Jones told council
that in his opinion, there were
between 2,000 and 3,000 deer in
the county. Reeve Anson McKin-
ley, Stanley, disagreed.
"1 would think there's not
anything like that many deer in
the county, argued McKinley, "I
would say there were more
hunters than there were deer."
13y way of explanation, jones
told McKinley that in the Bruce
Peninsula, where there is.a deer
season every year, not many deer
are visible.
"I've spent two hunting sea-
sons there and have yet to sec a
deer", said Jones. "But they take
a lot of deer there every year,"
The numbers of deer in the
county are estimated by other
means, Jones said, Road kills, for
instance, is a valid indicator. in
1970, 13 deer were reported killed
on the roads in Huron but in 1973,
the number had more than
doubled at 30.
Deer tracks also arc a reliable
calculator when estimating pop:
ulation in Huron. Bellanger said
that in Hay and Stanley Town-
ships, the home territory of Reeve
McKinley, there are many deer,
"Just walk the river flats,"
Bellanger told McKinley. "There
are more deer than you think."
Bellanger went on to say that
there is illegal hunting going on
in this arca of the county as well
as other districts.
The last deer season was in
1971 when 566 hunters spent 800
days in the field, They saw 200
,deer, shot at 100 and harvested
51,
Ministry officials felt there
were "sufficient deer in Huron to
Huron jail declared
historic site
The former Huron County jail
here has been declared an historic
site by the Historic Sites and 1
Monuments Board of Canada.
The announcement was made
by the Huron County branch of
the Architectural Conservancy of
Ontario at a meeting Wednesday,
February 27.
An historical plaque, will be
placed on the jail site but
conservancy members did not
know when it would be erected,
The jail, built in 1841, is one of
the oldest public buildings in
Western Ontario. In 1869, the last
public hanging in Canada took
place there.

will cost $218,050 with a county
contribution of $133,050. In 1973,
the county share was $95,357.
"As in all budgets for 1974, the
main increase is due to the
necessary salary adjustments
which also relflect the increase in
employee benefits," said Chair-
man John F. 'Flannery.
For the third time in the past
year, council was forced to
re -organize committees because
of a death among county
councillors. Roy Allan, deputy -re-
eve of Colborne Township, died
suddenly recently.
Reeve Everett Mcllwain, reeve
of the Township of Goderich, was
named to complete Mr. Allin's
two-year term on the Planning
Board and the new deputy -reeve
of Colborne, not yet appointed,
will become a member of the
library board.
The steering committee for the
UDIRA(Urban Development in
Rural,, Areas) study will be
Warden Bill Elston; James A.
Mair, chairman of the planning
board; Cecil Desjardine, planning
board member; Roy Westcott and
kElmer Hayter, both of the land
division committee.
The study team will be Warden
Elston, Mr. Mair and Planning
Director Gary Davidson.
The jail was threatened with
destruction when Huron council
attempted to demolish part of the
building to make room for a
regional assessment office.
The letter from the monument
board said the commemoration
did not give the site any legal
protection against destruction.
Two proposals for use of the jail
have been filed and are under
study by a town committee. The
briefs are from the conseraricy
and a senior citizens group.

warrent a season". They sug
Bested a season for archers from
October 29 to November 25 or a
gun season from November 11 to
13,
Officials said it would permit
hunters to take deer legally and
would provide "recreation for a
segment of the population."
"Who causes the most dam-
age?" asked Deputy -reeve Gerry
Ginn, Goderich Township. "The
deer or the hunters?
Ginn was told the only way for
farmers to keep hunters off their
land was to post signs which may
be seen from any point of entry.
Most courteous hunters ask
permission beforfe entering a
farm, however.
Council learned that the Minis-
try has the authority to announce
a deer season, but added that in
most cases, the approval of the
municipalities involved is desir-
aale. Council registered no
further opposition to the prop-
osal.
The conversation then switched
to wolves. Here again, council
was surprised to learn that in the
opinion of the Ministry officials,
the wolf population was not all
that high.
While the Ontario government
has discontinued wolf bounty, it
was pointed out, it does compen-
sate farriers for loss of livestock if
it can be proven the damage was
done by wolves.
Bellanger said that when an
animal is found, the farmer
should call the Ministry of
Natural Resources at Wingham
(Zenith 92000). An inspector from
that department will examine the
carcass to determine whether or
not a wolf was the killer. if so, a
stock evaluator is called in to
estimate the value of the animal
lost and a claim filed with the
government.
There were no claims in 1972 or
1973, said Bellanger.

The income tax help system
and howtomakeitworkforyou.
As you know by now, we changed a lot of things last
year. We gave you a new return, a new Guide, several new
deductions and a few new rules. And quite honestly, we were
more than a little concerned about your reaction to it all.
(And very, very interested in your opinions.)
Well, now that we've had time to really look back at it
and assess it honestly, it appears that most taxpayers did
not seem to find it too difficult. The error rate did not ac-
celerate greatly or change drastically from former years.
Generally, most taxpayers seemed to handle their new
returns fairly well.
However, Income Tax will never be the easiest or most
enjoyable thing in anyone's life. And it will always present
problems in some areas, for some people. That's expected
and understandable.
So, What we want to do now Is really work on those
problem areas. And the best way to do that is to work with
you, individually, on whatever part of Income Tax that causes
you difficulty.
And that's what April Aid is all about. It's a help system
and its primary objective is to ensure that whenever or
whatever you need help with, you can get it. And know how
to get it. •
•
MOM And this Is how It
oc works.
First. Your Guide is always the
best answer when you have a problem.
Read it. Follow it. It not only gives explana-
tions, but In many cases, examples of Just
how to figure something out.
Second. If you're still confused or something just
doesn't seem to work, phone. The number of your
own District Taxation Office is below and at the
end of that number there are people whose only job is to help
taxpayers with problems, by telephone. And on Mondays and
Tuesdays phone lines are open 'til 6 p.m. So don't hesitate.
If you live outside the office area, call the Operator and
ask for Zenith 0-4000. She will automatically connect you to
your own District Taxation Office, Remember, all calls are
free, all questions are answered, and if you have queries, we
want you to call,
(DIoe Third. Some people prefer to talk things over in
�."'� person. If you're one of them and have problems,
drop by for free help. Anytime. The address of your
District Taxation Office is below.
Fourth. Write. To the address below. Explain your
i problem as clearly as possible and include all in-
," formation. (And your return address, please.) In
return, we'll answer all letters as quickly and clearly as
possible. Remember— if you need help, it's there. (And tree).
And all you have to do is ask.

Rev. Marney Patterson, an
Anglican minister will be con-
ducting an "Invitation to Live"
Crusade in Goderich at Knox
Presbyterian Church from
March 29 to April 8. An itinerant
evangelist since 1966, he was
the Canadian delegate to the
World Congress on Evangelism
in Berlin, Germanyin October of
that year. In 1969, he attended
the American Congress on
Evangelism as a delegate and in
the 1970 Canadian Congress on
Evangelism, he served as
executive secretary. He has also
lectured on evangelism at
Wycliffe Theological College in
Toronio and the Protestant
Episcopal Seminary, Alexand-

crusade has been endorsed by
the Clinton Ministerial Associa-
tion in co-operation with Goder-

Huron -Perth Presbytery
several resolutions
• Sunday shopping, a shortage of
nursing homes, and organized
sports on Sunday, were topics of
resolutions passed by Huron -
Perth Presbytery at a recent
meeting in Main St. United
Church, Mitchell.
The Church In Society Commit-
tee, convened by Rev. John
Davies of Parkview United
Church, Stratford, drafted the
resolutions which Presbytery then
adopted. The resolution on
Sunday Observance arose due to
the incr ease in the number of
supermarkets and other retail
outlets that are violating the
"Lord's Day Act,'.' Members thus
"reafirmed their belief in Sunday
as a common day of rest, a
support legislation that would
implement a more restricted
Sunday", as outlined in Option
#11 of the Ontario Law Reform
Commission. Such legislation
would be more secular than
religious, be uniform across the
Province and would prohibit all
forms of selling and employment
on Sunday, except in certain
clearly defined situations. Mem-
bers were asked to take this
resolution back to their local
congregations and have them
urge the Provincial Government
to enact such legislation.
Organized sports, and in
particular hockey leagues, prac-
tises and tournaments, are more
and more conflicting with the
Sunday activities of Churches, All
congregations were thus urged to
"exercise their influence in
limiting the promotion of organ-
ized sports in their communities
on Sunday mornings where at all
practical, and to accept their
responsibility for involving their
children in worship and Christian
Education, and other areas of the
churches' life".
The Committee also noted that
there is a serious shortage of
nursing home accomodation in
Huron and Perth Counties, for
chronic patients and senior
citizens. A Task Force will be set
up to study needs in this area and
report at the next meeting in
April.
Rev, Doug Warren, of Credit-
on, the Chairman, opened the
day -long meeting by introducing
a new venture in worship
conducted by Rev. Rae Grant of
Listowel. Members viewed port-
ions of the film, To Sir With Love,
starring Sidney Portier. Following
this, they discussed how to bridge
communication gaps among
people.
The bridging of geographical
gaps was realized as Rev, Warren
in beginning the business portion
of the meeting • introduced four
members of the Lantbton Pres;
bytery Executive who were guests
for the day'. The visiting clergy
were, Alymer -Smith, Murray
Campbell, Clifford Park and
Lloyd Stapleton. •
The new London Conference
1 Personel Officer, Rev. August
Meacham was present and spoke
briefly about his "ministry to
Ministers", in southwestern Ont-
ario. He noted that he had been
spending a lot of time in
Huron -Perth, having called on
most United Church clergy. He
then answered questions raised
on: the settlement of Ministers,
confidentiality, how inflation
affects retired clergy, and the
charismatic movement.
In other business it was learned
that Mr. Murdock Morrison, Lay
Supply at Varna for 13 years, Mr.
Alfred Fry, Lay Supply at Auburn
for six years, and Rev, George
Sach, Minister in Gorrie for seven
years, would be retiring at the
end of June this year. Mr.
Morrison has built his own home
in Varna and will retire there.
Rev. Sach, a former Moravian
Missionary in Labrador expects to
retire in London.
it seems as if the Church too is
suffering from inflation. Rev. Don
Deas of Mitchell, Stewardship
'Division Chairman, revealed this
in releasing the final totals for
contributions to the Mission and
Service Fund of the United
Church in 1973. Be praised
congregations for passing the
National objective of $11,500,000,
But he also said that even though -
this was a six per cent increase
over last year, inflation gave a net

and standing ovation. At the
"Fergus Kelly Retirement Lun-
cheon," Rev. Garbutt Smith was
a participant. It was noted during
addresses and comments that the
1973 Christmas Seal Campaign in
Ontario reached an all-time high.
Locally, (1972 Campaign) last
year we received the highest
population support in the' prov-
ince and with an increase in
returns there is every indication
that the 1973 campaign may again
hit the top. We believe this to be
the result of respiratory disease

AUTHENTIC SCENES FROM MAINLAND CHINA
From the Minister's
Study
BY CECIL WITTICH
Our Provincial Minister of Education recently announced that a
move is under way to implement a program of moral education within
our Public School system. Such a move would seem to be worthwhile
and would perhaps be welcomed by many. And yet, when we look at
the philosophy of the program from a Christian point of view, we
realize how inadequate it is.
Moral education by itself is not enough to produce what we believe to
be proper forms of conduct and character development, A respected
Christian thinker has said, "Morality by itself cannot give the power to
perform what it demands." Something more is needed.
The Apostle Paul, writing in Romans 8, said, "For God has done
what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son
in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,
in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us,
who walk not according to the flesh but according -to the Spirit." The
law to which Paul refers is the moral law of God by which the people
were to live, Paul says that the law has been weakened by the flesh.
The flesh means our human nature with which we are born and which
has been overcome and corrupted by sin. It is because of sin in our life
that we are not able to live a morally good life on our own. Paul wrote,
"I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh, I can
will what is right, but I cannot do it."
Man needed to be redeemed from the power of sin. God acted in
Jesus Christ to put to death our sinful nature and to give us new life
through his Spirit. Paul says, "For our sake, God made Christ to be sin
who knew no sin, so that in hint we might become the righteousness of
God." Through our acceptance of Christ and our commitment to him
we become inwardly transformed and are enabled to respond to the
moral requirements of God's law and love in which we find our freedom
and fulfillment.
Moral education is valuable but, in order to be effective, it must be
supplemented with the saving power of God's love in Christ.

World's Day of Prayer service held
at Duff's Church
The World's Day of Prayer
service was held in the basement
of Duff's United Church, Walton
on Friday afternoon, with the
theme being "Make Us Builders
of Peace".
Mrs. Neil McGavin, the leader
introduced the program which
was written by the Women's
Committee of National Christian
Council of Japan.
Mrs. Martin Baan led in prayer
followed by Mrs. McGavin giving
the Prayer of invitation. Mrs.

Rev, Derwyn Docken was the
speaker, he said we should take a
close look at our theme. "Make
us Builders of Peace". The key
word is builders, he said. Make
us Builders of Peace, its a very
positive object. Peace can grow,
where peace can be found. Let
there be Peace on earth, let it
begin with me, How do we
become builders of Peace? You do
become builders of Peace in the
same way you can build anything,
Rev. Docken said. Where is Peace
needed today? Perhaps in your-
self. We can be builders of peace.
What is causing the lack of
Peace? Through prayer any effort
of Peace then can begin, through
prayer we get strength. He closed
with the words, "These things 1
have spoken unto you, that in me
ye might have peace.
Mrs. Rae Houston thanked
Rev. Docken for bringing the
ladies such a challenging mes-
sage. Hymn 140, "Our Kingdom
Come 0 Lord" was sung followed

Harvey Craig and Mrs. Ken
McDonald received the offering
Which is used to promote the
gospel and to meet needs in
Canada and around the world. It
was dedicated by Mrs. N.
McGavin,
The Lord's Prayer was said in
unison and each person extended
a sign of Peace to his neighbor by
joining hands and repeating,
"The peace of the Lord be with
you", followed by the benedict-
ion.
A social half hour over a cup of
tea closed the meeting.
Oven meals save energy
Saving energy is nothing new
to experienced cooks. A com-
plete oven meal has long been
the answer to saving energy as
well as time.
From Holiday Inns, where
kitchens must serve guests at
least 16 continuous hours a day,
come three recipes to help you
put your kitchen at home to
rest early.
Thick Baked Pork Chops are
flavored with brown sugar, cat-
sup and dry mustard. Team
them with Baked Acorn Squash.
Both foods bake at 350 degrees
for one hour. -
An unusual Bread and Butter
Pudding goes into the oven at
the same time as the chops and
squash. After 40 minutes, re-
move the pudding and top it
with jam or jelly and meringue.
Then return the dessert to the
oven so the meringue will be
golden brown when the other
foods are ready.
You will be making maxi-
mum use of your oven's heat
and your time since all the
foods are baked at once. Get
the ureal ready for cooking and
treat yourself to a coffee break
while your oven finishes the job.

Separate School Board
to 'review insurance
BY WILMA OKE
The Huron -Perth County Ro-
man Catholic Separate School
Board will renew all policies with
the Huron -Perth Insurance
Agents' Association through Lee-
son -Killer Insurance Limited,
Stratford, for the term February
26, 1974 to February 26, 1975.
The annual premium is $12,367.
This is an increase of $2,088 over
last year,
The Board meeting in Seaforth
February 2 decided it will invite
Mr. Killer to a board meeting
soon to answer some questions
raised by the trustees about
coverage.
Following a suggestion by
Donald Crowley of R.R, 2,
Gadshill, the main highways and
county roads leading to the
separate schools will be added to
the brochure that the Board is
having made up which will outline
the availability of separate
schools within the Counties of
Huron and Perth. Mr. Crowley
said that having the roads marked
would make it easier for
newcomers to locate the schools.
It will cost the Board an extra
$25 to have the roads added,
raising the cost of a thousand
brochures to $223,
Joseph Takar, acting Superin-
tendent of Education, gave a brief

The Board voted not to support
the Bruce -Grey County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board's
resolution re Bill 275 that would
isolate the principals from the
teachers into a separate splinter
group such as a provincial
principal's organization. The
Board said that the principals,
belonging to the Teachers Feder-
ation, could not be separated
from the teachers, The Board
feels it is important to improve
communications between the
teachers and the Board,

Some random notes in Goderich
It's hard to believe it can be that time of the year again already but
baseball training camps are in action again in Florida. The first
exhibition games will be played this week, and the season opens in a
month,
For the baseball fan, it's one of the most exciting times of the
season, it's the time when even a last -place finisher can be a
contender. New young phenoms conte out of the minor leagues and
impress everyone giving the impression that overnight, they may turn
around the fortunes of their team,
The Montreal Expos' fans are especially excited this year, Their
team made a big run at the pennant last year and with changes this
year one can really hope they might make it to the World Series. Will
Willie Davis make a big difference? Will the team continue to hit well
as it did last year? Will Mike Marshall's absence hurt the team badly?
Will the starting pitchers recover form after a bad year last year? Will
Steve Rogers pitch as well as last year or was he just a one-year
wonder? Will rookies like catcher Barry Foote be able to sustain the
promise they have already shown and grab a spot on the team, thus
making it a stronger unit?
These are the questions baseball fans are waiting to learn and they
can hope, at this time of the year at least, that at least most of the
answers will be favourable, If they are, the Canadian fans might have a
contender for the World Series this year,
*****
The fight between the federal government and the Toronto
Northmen of the World Football League has got blown out of all
proportion of late to the point that some directors of the new team seem
to think that they will kill the Toronto Argonautsand the Canadian
Football League just by stepping on the field, They make a big deal out
of the fact that 3000 persons have written so far asking for season
tickets. Big deal, they only have about 30,000 to go to catch the Argos.
Frankly, we think the new league is going to make the CFL look
good. The old Toronto Rifles used American style football and didn't
come close to drawing the interest the Argos did even when Argos
were terrible. The Canadian game is better and we think enough fans
will realize this to keep the Argos going. It may be the Northmen who
flop.
It's interesting, though, that the snobishness we spoke of here some
weeks back, is already starting to show in Toronto. The reports of
Northmen signings and feuding with the government receive big play
.,in the Toronto sports pages and the team hardly owns a football yet.
The Argos stories are non-existent most days, The Toronto Toros, also
owned by John Bassett, get relegated to the back pages of the sport
section with only a few lines of copy on a game, even though they are in
a battle for first place in their league. The Toronto sportswriters, you
see, are about the biggest sports snobs of all. •

The Blyth Bantams are in the thick of fighting their way up the
ladder in the Ontario Minor Hockey Association playoffs for the
provincial title. This is the same group of boys, you remember, who
brought home the all -Ontario crown two years ago, the first in history
for Blyth.
The boys meet an old foe, Langton, this week in the quarterfinals,
Two years ago the boys were spurred on by large crowds at the Blyth
arena. They may 'not win just because they get big crowds, but it
certainly might help if they had a packed house for their game on
Sunday.
Bantams meet Langton
here Saturday
in O.M.H.A. play
The Blyth Bantams go forward
another step in the O.M.H.A. by
defeating Hillsburgh. The second
game of the series was played on
Friday, March 1, in Hillsburgh
with Blyth coming out on top
with a score of 6-4.
Hillsburgh began strong and
took a 2-0 lead in the first period
but the Blyth squad came back in
the second period to tic it up 2-2
at the end of the second period.
Hillsburgh began strong in the
third period with two more goals
to make it 4,2. Then the Blyth
team came back to score four
goals to
win the ante 6-4.
g
Goals were scored by Phil
Arthur with 3, Terry Pierce, 1;
Larry Howatt, 1; and Steve
Bromley, 1. Assists were made by
Terry Pierce, 1; Ken Stewart, 1;
Dale Whitfield, 1; Brad Bromley,
1; and Larry Howatt, 1.
The Bantams will now proceed
in the O,M.H.A.against Langdon,
Wednesday at 8 p.m. and back in
Blyth Sunday, March 10 at 5 p.m.
The Bantams this season have
played a total of 22 scheduled and
play off games so far and have
scored a total of 117 goals, with.
only 60 goals scored against
them.
Atoms win Bayfield
tournament crown
Blyth Atoms captured the
trophy Saturday at Bayfield as
they won both their games. in the
first encounter Blyth defeated
Goderich 6-1,
Goal scorers were Murray
Mason, Frank Van Dongen, Neil
Elliott, Bruce Hunking and
Robbie Plunkett with two.
Bayfield defeated Clinton earl-
ier by a score of 7.2, so Blyth then
met them for the A trophy. After
two periods Bayfield led 2-1 but
the Blyth boys bounded back to
win the game 5-2.
Goal scorers were Bruce
Hunking who picked up the hat
trick and Robbie Plunkett with
two goals and one assist while
Wes Burkholder picked up one
assist.
Blyth Atoms played one of their
closest checking games of the
year on Monday night as they tied
Milverton 1-1, Both goal tenders,
Tom Cronin and Andrew Ives
played a very strong game in net.
The lone goal scorer was Robbie
Plunkett assisted by Bruce
Hunking.
The boys will start the playoffs
some time next week when they
meet the Drayton squad.
A meeting was held in
Goderich last week to discuss a
proposal for a $1.5 million sports
and cultural complex to serve
Huron County,
The centre would be located in
Goderich on property now owned
by the Huron County Board of
Education,
The Goderich proposal includes
a 25 -metre indoor swimming
pool, outdoor lighted tennis
courts and a quarter -mile track, a
500 -seat auditorium for major
theatre, a senior citizens' wing, a
health club with saunas, squash
and handball and exercise courts,
small meeting halls, a concession
area and a library.
The Huron County Board of
Education has agreed to consider
sale or lease of 10 acres of school
board property across Bennett
Street from Goderich Collegiate
as the site of the complex,
Initial work done by the
Stratford architectural firm of
Kyles, Kyles and Garratt deter-
mined the ballpark $1.5 million
figure for the facilities the
committee would like to see
included.
But the content is in no way set,
said Goderich recreation director
Mike Dymond. He said he would
like to see the proposal put before
the public for debate "because
maybe what's in there will not be
acceptable to them."
The complex is too rich for
Goderich alone, he said, and it
will have to draw t'ront the
surrounding area for participation
and financial support. Thus it will
Peewees play

tournament

Huronia Tournament in Mildmay
on Feb. 23. The local boys played
well in the first game at 8 a.nt.
losing to the eventual winners,
Teeswatcr by a 3-1 score.
The game was very fast and
clean with no penalties through-
out. Blyth goal was scored by
Greg Hallam; with Steve Sierts-
eina and Steve Reid assisting.
Blyth played an exhibition game
one hour later with Honcywood
because Monkton failed to show.
However they had given too much
in their first game and were
thoroughly thumped by an 11-2
score.
Brian McClinchey scored
Blyth's two goals with Grant
Campbell picking up one assist
and Steve Sicrtsema, Grant
Campbell and Rick Elliott took
Minor penalties.

Broomball semi-finals
now on
It's playoff time in the
BlylhBroomball league and Tues-
day night's action saw at least one
surprise.
The surprise came when
Westfield, which finished in
fourth place during the regular
schedule , knocked off Centralia
Grads who finished second. The
Westfield win ties the series at
one game each, •
8th Liners meanwhile locked up
a birth in the finals when they

be a county sports and recreation-
al centre, he said, not only for
student use, but for widespread
public use.
Location of such a project is not
palatable to Peter Brown of
Vanastra, past charter member of
the Optimist Club of Vanastra,
Clinton, who attempted last year
to organize an Optimist olympics
competition for Ontario on the
former Canadian Forces base.
"I am quite averse to that
proposal," Mr, Brown said last
week, ' l cannot see how Huron
County or anyone could support it
when we have all these facilities
at the former base."
The former base has an
artificial ice arena that was
operating until December, huge
gymnasia, baseball, soccer and
football fields, a curling rink,
indoor and outdoor shooting
ranges, outdoor swimming pool,
six tennis courts, a track, bowling
alley and dormitories.
"This is the centre of Huron
County, the hub of industrial and
population growth," Mr. Brown
said, "and we are in a very bad
social area." He said speculation
is that the newly -announced
nuclear power plant to be built by
Ontario Hydro will be 20 or 30
utiles south of Goderich, which
would place it closer to Clinton
than. Goderich.
It would make more sense, in
light of the Ontario Hydro
announcement to develop a sports
facility at Vanastra, Mr. Brown
said. "1 just can't see it in
Goderich."
Mr. Dymond said the commit-
tee was prepared to answer the
"why Goderich?" question when
it went before the school board.
He said that while Goderich may
not be the geographical centre of
the county, it is the population
centre.
Cayley Hill, chairman of the
school board, said he could not
visualize the complex being used
by the whole county. Mr, Hill
suggested it could serve Goder-

Bev Wilton is one Clinton
resident who is enthusiastic about
the Goderich project. Mr. Wilton
is Clinton's recreational director.
He said that if he isn't asked for
unput in the planning of the
complex he will be knocking at
their door to gain entry.
"We certainly would use that
facility," he said.
He believes it should he
developed as a sport education
centre for Huron County.
"I can see, for one think, a
major boom in swimming. Right
now our swimmers have to go to
Owen Sound, Stratford or London
for competitive swimming and
training," he said, There is no
indoor pool in Huron County.
Mr. Wilton believes even the
extreme ends of the county -
athletes from Seaforth, Exeter
and Wingham - would use it if it is
properly0designed as a major
facility. He would like to see the
tennis courts and track indoors.
The facilities at Vanastra don't
get Mr. Wilton excited. He
referred to a government study
done on the sports facilities on the
former base a year and a half ago
after which the provincial sports
and recreation: bureau rejected
development of the base facilities
as a provincial sport training
centre.
The government report pointed
to the high cost of renovation
because many of the facilities
have deteriorated, the high cost
of covering the pool and the
location. Mr. Wilton also points
out that the Vanastra facilities are
scattered about the base, the
extremes almost a mile apart.
Major J.H. Delbridge of Exeter
said Goderich is too far away for
the complex to be of any use. to

RURAL ROUNDUP
Pneumonic pasteurellosis --commonly known to beef feedlot
operators as "shipping fever" --remains a troublesome problem for
beef producers despite extensive immunization programs aimed at the
Pasteurella bacteria and the Para-influenza three (P1-3) virus, which
arc both considered to be causal agents for the condition.
"Shipping fever is just a form of pneumonia," says Dr. R.G,
Thomson, Department of Pathology at the Ontario Veterinary College,
University of Guelph. "Last year, shipping fever cost beef producers
$95 million in the United States."
Most observations on the condition have been directed at the later
stages. Vaccines arc generally administered by injection prior to
shipping, in the hope of immunizing cattle against it. Experience has
shown, however, that an injected vaccine will not provide complete
protection.
Extensive research on the early stages of shipping fever has been
under way for some eight years now at the Ontario Veterinary'College,
and has generated some interesting findings.$
"It has been more or less taken for granted that shipping fever is
caused by a virus," says Dr. Thomson. "But what intrigued us was the
fact that, in a group of cattle suffering from the viral infection, some
animals contracted the respiratory symptoms of shipping fever, while
others did not."
Researchers at the college now believe that shipping fever is caused,
not by the PI -3 virus alone, but by bacterial -viral interaction in the
animal's respiratory system. Now it is necessary to sort out the
sequence of events leading to the fatal disease in order to find the best
place to aim preventive measures. •
Says Dr, Thomson:'The problem appears not to lie in the upper or
bronchial respiratory area as previously believed. Rather, the PI -3
virus may impair the ability of large cells, called 'macrophages', to
dispose of the Pasteurella bacteria entering the lower respiratory
tract."
Called "pulmonary clearance", this process is highly efficient in
healthy animals, retarding the development of many types of
respiratory infections. Just how the P1-3 virus affects the large
bacteria -destroying cells in doing their job is not clearly understood.
Research on this problem is continuing at the Ontario Veterinary
College.
"What is worth considering at this stage," says Dr. Thomson, "is an
evaluation of the vaccination procedures currently being practiced."
Dr. Thomson stresses that he is not recommending feedlot operators
stop vaccinating their animals against shipping fever.
"We do feel, however, that a vaccine administered by an aerosol,
rather than an injection, might be more effective. Unfortunately, to the
best of my knowledge, no aerosol vaccine against shipping fever is
currently available.
After eight years of matching laboratory analysis with field
conditions relating to the early stages of shipping fever, Dr. Thomson
feels that the Ontario Veterinary College could play a key role in
assessing the effectiveness, and the economic benefits to beef
producers, of any aerosol vaccine that might be commercially
developed,

Behind the scenes
A change in philosophy needed for a great Canada
BY KEITH ROULSTON
It hasn't been often in the past
that yours truly has been in
agreement with Alvin Hamilton,
former Conservative Minister of
Agriculture. Last week, however,
was one of those few times.
Speaking in the Kitchener area
Mr. Hamilton was discussing the
ramifications of the world-wide oil
shortage and the fact that Canada
was left in much better shape
than the other industrialized
nations, He was pointing out that
we should be taking more
advantage of the situation and
even said the government s were
already beginning to look in this
direction.
But the part that we agreed so
much with him on was his urging
for decentralization of gowth. Mr.
Hamilton used Ontario as a prime
example and noted that the
clay -belt of northern Ontario
could support much, much more
population than it is at present.
He pointed out that if population
growth was turned away from the
golden horseshoe area in south-
ern Ontario and into the clay -belt
area of the north there would be
many advantages.
First of all, he pointed out,
there would be the advantage to
the economy of the north which is
now based mostly on the harvest
of natural resources. By moving
some of the refining industries
that depend on these natural
resources into the north, the arca
would have both primary and
secondary industry and provide
greater job opportunities and job •
variety for northerners.
in turn, by siphoning off some
of the growth from southern
Ontario it would take the pressure
off cities like Toronto and
Ktichener which now cannot
service land fast enough to meet
the demand for building lots. This
would result in a lowering of land
prices that have seen prices for a
single postage -stamp sized lot in
Toronto go past $20,000.
Mr. Hamilton, a Westerner,
Winter sleep for
Surviving a freezing winter
in an energy crisis is not easy for
people. But black bears, bats
woodchucks, skunks, badgers,
and other animals as well as
insects are curled up in their
caves and holes, sleeping the
winter away.
The winter sleep of the black
bear is an unparalled marvel in
the natural world. Bears begin to
den early in October. Denning is
complete by December and
usually lasts until April. From
three to five months during the
winter the black bear undergoes a
metamorph psis. The rate of
breathing drops drastically, the
body temperature falls, and the
heart beats only eight tines a min
ute instead of 40 times as in
summer.
During hibernation, the black
bear does not eat, drink, or
eliminate any waste products.
Unlike some other hibernators,
who feel cold to the touch and
seem in a state of almost
suspended breathing, black bears
are easily aroused and fully able
to protect themselves almost
immediately.
Most incredible of all, the
female bear actually gives birth to
cubs and nurses them in January,
midway through the winter sleep.
By some metabolic miracle, the
mother bear can produce enough
calories and protein to maintain
herself and enough milk to
support growth of her cubs from
her own body stores --without
taking any food or water herself.
The body mechanisms of the
black bear are fascinating scient-
ists, who are hoping to discover
new facts about breathing,
nutrition, and water and protein
metabolism. Now even space
scientists are investigating the
fabulous black bear and consider •
-
didn't go any further, but he also
might have pointed out that
getting more industry into West-
ern Canada would achieve much
the same thing as moving
industry into Northern Ontario.
And this, of course, is just what
Premier Lougheed of Alberta and
other Western premiers have
been after,
Being a cynical old political
observer, one might suspect the
western premiers of wanting
more industry because they want
more power. They've seen the
political clout Ontario has be-
cause it has a big portion of the
wealth of the nation and nearly a
third of the total population.
Political clout is something evey
provincial premier dreams of in
this age when they gang up
frequently on Ottawa.
One could take that view, but in
this case one can also be more
charitable to the premiers be-
cause what they want will not only
be good for them, but good for
their provinces and good for
Canada.
Many people today regard
Canada as a growing nation full of
promise which is already among
the richest nations in the world, i
myself, as a fervent Canada-first-
er, think there is no better nation
in the world to live in. Yet despite
my love for this country and my
faith in its future, there are some
serious mistakes 1 think we're
making that could ruin that future
unless we turn things around.
One, of course, is the tendency to
let foreign interests come in and
buy up every business of any
consequence. The current trend
will soon sec foreigners control all
business doing more than a few
millions dollars a year in
business.
The second, and even morc
important in the long run, is the
tendency we've followed in the
past half century or more, to
centralize all big business and
industry in a few large cities.
Pierre Burton's National Dream
now being shown on television,
shows how, through the vision of
bears a marvel
ing prolonged bear flights to
planets and stars that have so far
been off limits because of food
and water storage problems.
Your Christmas Seal Associat-
ion has very little information
about the winter breathing habits
of black bears. But they know a
great deal about breathing
problems of human beings. Ask
them for the facts.
the great Sir John A. MacDonald,
Canada grew from a thin line of
cities and towns along the St.
Lawrence River Valley in Ontario,
Quebec and in the Maritimes, to
a nation stretching from sea to
sea. The enormous task of
building the Pacific railway also
built a nation by filling the vast
empty spaces with people. That
was Tess than 100 years ago, but
job working for the government or
sonic big organization with a
union to make sure he never has
to worry about losing his job.
This is the challenge Canada
faces today. We've got to expand
again into. the whole of the
country not just a few urban
centres. We've got to be willing
to take a few chances and give up
a few luxuries. Frankly, 1 don't
think most Canadians will do this,
The only people willing to take a
risk are immigrants who see the
real potential of the land. it is the
poor of other countries that will
inherit the riches of Canada
because they are willing to work
at it while native Canadians
would rather play it safe.

politicians and businessmen have
been undoing all the work Sir
John gave us. Slowly, but surely,
Canada has been shrinking back
to a nation of urban centres in
southern Ontario and Quebec and
British Columbia,
Our farm policies have driven
people off the land that they
coveted so dearly and struggled
into the west to get. Our
industrial policies have killed the
local industry that once abounded
in every town and village. Our
taxation and other government
policies have killed the initiative
that once made people want to be
in business for themselves.
We have become a nation of
cautious people who like to live in
comfortable, climate -controlled
housing in cities and shop only in
comfortable, climate -controlled
shopping centres. Who wants a
little hardship like not having a
choice of 33 varieties of breakfast

automatic. Who wants the risk of

Green thumbs should
be itching for action
as spring approaches
Well neighbours, it's that time of year again when the green and not so green
thumbs start itching to get back at the garden. And this year there will be more
of you than ever before, because in 1973, the highest increase in the number
of home gardens was registered. Over one hundred thousand more gardens were
added to the nation's garden inventory.
Another interesting factor is that the young married
segment of our population is starting their gardens the
first year of marriage instead of waiting until the third GARDENING
year, and the gardens they are planting are 60 percent
larger than their counterparts planted a decade ago.
Another new group of enthusiasts comes from the
thousands of homeowners who cancelled their plans to
move into new homes because of higher mortgage rates.
They decided to keep their homes and make them more
livable with greater emphasis on gardening.
TALKING
Well, let's start off this year's
gardening series with some
advice on the lawn, because
for most of you, that's the
centre area of your garden.
Lawn Debris
As soon as the weather per-
mits, start removing the winter
debris from the lawn areas. If
you can walk on your lawn
without leaving foot prints,
then it is ready to be raked
with a "spring -type" or bamboo
rake. It scratches the grass
blades and helps to waken
them. You'll also get the
papers, twigs, and other debris
off the lawn area and in this
way, more or less, you'll be
preparing it for the fertilizer
you'll be applying any day
now. Use a specialized prod-
uct like Golden Vigoro and
apply it according to the
manufacturer's directions or
else in 5-6 weeks you'll find
yourself behind the spreader
again.
New Techniques
If you are a gardening en-
thusiast or if you just like to
have attractive plantings
around your home, you proba-
bly wish you had more of
some of your favorite flowers
and shrubs. Here's an idea on
how to grow new plants sim-
ply and very inexpensively.
For a number of years plant
scientists have been expanding
the number of experimental
plants by rooting cuttings un-
der sheets of plastic. Home
gardeners and school children
can do the same thing with an
ordinary plastic freezer bag.
In effect, you can make your
own greenhouse! However, for
best results, you should know
when to root specific plants.
Most house plants can be
rooted at any time of year.
This group would include
Chinese evergreen, pothos and
philodendron. Garden flowers,
such as geraniums and roses,
should be rooted from late
May to September. Flowering
shrubs, broadleaved ever
greens, vines, forsythia, cam-
ellia and ivy should be rooted
from mid-June to mid-August.
Footing
Use a two quart plastic
freezer bag. This will be large
enough to hold four to six
cuttings. Next assemble the
following: peat moss, the fib-
rous kind that is offered by
Vigoro and sand, clean and
free of salt. Salt will kill the
cuttings, so neighbours, don't
use sand from the beach or,
in fact, sand from the kids'
sandpile. It's best to buy sev-
eral pounds of sterilized sand
at your favorite garden centre,
nursery or department store.
The hardware shops have it,
too. 1 like to use a root start-
ing hormone because it quick-
ens growth and shortens the
time it takes to root cuttings.
The next step is to screen
the peat moss, pick out any
large particles or twigs that
may be in the peat moss, and
then combine, by volume, two
parts of peat moss with one
part sand. Mix well, then sift
again. Now add water, not too
much, just enough so that
when you squeeze a handful
of the sand -peat mixture, a few
drops of water will squeeze
out. Put the mixture into the
plastic bag—about three inches
deep and be sure there are
NO holes in the bag or the
water will evaporate and the
cuttings will dry out, Firm the
mix with your hands and you
are ready for the cuttings,
BE SURE the cutting is new
growth. You can tell this by
the colour. It will be a lighter
green than the rest of the
plant. You can give it the snap
test. A fresh twig will sound
like a snapped bean when
broken off. Use garden shears.
or a sharp knife to remove
cuttings from the plant and
cut off a 4 to 6 inch piece.
Strip the leaves from the
lower one-third to one-half of
the cutting and then re -cut the
base of it, straight across. A
sharp, fresh cut will take up
water more easily and root
more readily. Next, cut a very
thin sliver of bark off the side
of the cutting, about one inch
long. Now dip the bottom inch
of the cutting into the root
starting hormone and be sure
that all exposed parts of the
cuttings pick up the hormone
so the cutting will get maxi-
mum benefit, Tap excess root-
ing powder off the stem,
Now you are ready for
planting. Using your thumb
and finger, stick the cuttings
into the sand and peat mix.
About one-third to one-half
of the length of the cutting
should be inserted. You should
be able to put four to six cut-
tings in one bag, but DON'T
crowd them, Space cuttings so

wet the foliage. Then draw
together the top of the bag
and fasten it tightly with the
rubber band, twist -em, pipe
cleaner or clothes pin.
Where To Put It
The best place to make it
produce roots is right on your
window sill where the cuttings
will get lots of Tight but no
direct sunlight. No additional
water will be required and the
cutting should root in six to
ten weeks. To test whether the
cuttings have rooted, tug them
gently. If they stay put, you
know you've got roots on
them, If not, re -seal the bag
and wait for another two
weeks or so.
When the plants are rooted,
gradually open the bag a little
more each day for five to seven
days. This is to get the cut-
tings used to the drier atmos-
phere of the room. You'll have
to water them now because
the moisture once contained in
the bag will escape when the
bag is opened. You've come a
long way since taking the
original cuttings. You've got
a plant growing for you, and
the next step is just about the
last one. Transplant your cut-
tings to clay pots containing
a rich potting soil. Then, bury
the pots in a protected arca
in your garden.
Cuttings made in the fall
and winter should be kept in-
doors in a cool room until
spring. After the plants have
had a winter in the ground in
pots, remove the pots and re-
plant them in a permanent
spot in the spring. Now you
should have enough plants tc
make your home attractive,
and when a neighbour gives
you a cutting, you'll be able to
grow it on, as a Friendship
Plant.

learn about modern nursing
by Bill Smiley
Some days you can't win a
nickel. Today is one of them.
Outside, it's bucketing down wet
snow to clog my driveway, inside,
I'm getting the 'flu, and my jaw is
aching from a going-over the
dentist gave me.
And downstairs, two women
are squabbling about how to
bring up my grandson.
Yes, the little chap is paying his
first visit to the old family home,
and he's the only bright note in
the day.
Think 1'11 sneak down and have
another look at him and try to
cheer thyself up.
There, I did. And I feel better.
He's a dandy little fellow. He's
fat, and he smells like a baby, and
he produces the occasional
lopsided grin, as though he finds
the world amusing. He doesn't
know the half of it. It's not only
amusing; it's ridiculous.
And two of the more ridiculous
aspects of it right now are his
motherand his grandmother. One
has had a baby for six weeks and
thinks she knows all about babies.
The other hasn't had a baby for 22
years, and she thinks she knows
all about babies.
My role is to try to apply some
common sense, but it's about as
effective as throwing oil on a fire
to put it out. They both turn on
me and assure rhe that my
knowledge about babies is about
as capacious as my knowledge of
heaven.
In fact, I know all there is
necessary to know about infants:
keep them warns and dry and well
fed, and they'll be happy. They're
just like human beings in that
respect.
This little guy is certainly
getting that treatment. If his
mother puts a fresh diaper on
him, his gran has got it off and
put another on before he has a
chance to wet the first one.
And he's certainly not suffering
in the groceries department, He's
gulping great quantities of the
pure unadulterated stuff nature
intended for him.
There have been rhapsodies
written about the beauty of a child
nursing at its mother's breast.
And I must say it's something to
see her cuddling him up to one
side and reaching with her free
hand for her bottle of beer, She
got that out of a baby book,
which, so help me, suggested
nursing mothers have a bottle of
beer to break the monotony or
keep the flow coming or some-
thing
This is a little digression, but I
was almost fully grown before 1
learned that my basic idea about
nursing mothers was wrong.
Another kid told me, when we
were about six, that there is
porridge in one breast and milk in
the other. That's why they switch
the baby over.
Yep, there's nothing like a
baby around the house, That kid
just don't get to cry. Someone
snatches hint up the minute he
bleats once. Even 1.
The quiet fishing v Ilage of James Cistern, on the Bahamas' out
island of Eleuthera , has a quaint custom, When a boy reaches
the age of 15, he begins building the simple house where he will

older, he slowly starts to furnish the house for his future bride
as income increases, Extensively developed for tourists, Eleuthera

Quaint marriage custom
to he found in Bahamas
ELEUTHERA, Bahamas —
The prospect of marriage
is something which inevitably
faces most of us at some stage
in life.
Many people get married at
an early age, but some wait.
For a few, wedding bells never
ring.
However, at the quiet fishing
village of Janies Cistern on the
Bahamas' Out Island of Eleu-
thera, marriage becomes a
focal point for boys during
their early teens.
Upon reaching the tender
age of 15, a boy will begin
building the house where he
will bring his bride when it is
time for marriage. As the boy
becomes older, and starts earn-
ing money, he slowly starts to
furnish the house for : is future
bride.
Thus, there are many un-
finished houses in the village.
Visitors can't understand why
until they are told of this quaint
custom.
James Cistern is just one of
many points of 'interest to be
found on Eleuthera. The island
is about 100 -miles long, and is
snake -like in shape except at
both ends, where it splays out.
Extensively developed, Eleu-
thera offers superb swimming,
snorkelling and fishing. The
island also has agricultural
primacy, producing most of the
Bahamas' poultry, eggs and
milk — not to mention some
of the world's tastiest pine-
apples.
Eleuthera was the first Baha-
mian island to be settled by
Europeans a group known
as the Eleutheran Adventurers
back in 1648. Several tourist
attractions are now built
around the exploits of this
group.
The island falls into two
distinct sections -- Eleuthera
proper, comprising most of the
mainland; and North Eleu-
thera, which includes the north-
ernmost mainland and nearby
islands such as Spanish Wells
and Harbour Island, The north-
ern end contains a number of
white, cliffs, while the hillsides
abound in fruit trees and other
vegetation. The centre of the
island i .made up mainly of
rolling farmland, while in the
south the land is green and flat,
With dozens of excellent
beaches, harbours and villages,
Eleuthera is an ideal area for
sightseeing. Cars can be hired
for this purpose, with a good
road running from Current in
the north to Southeastern point
at the southernmost tip.
And my wife is having a great
time getting out all the pictures of
our kids when they were babies,
to see whom he "takes after".
The latest notion is that he looks
like his Uncle Hugh at that age, 1
think he looks like Churchill. For
once we're in agreement, because
Hugh as a baby looked much like
Churchill as an elderly man.
And his granny is away ahead
of the game on clothes. She's
bought him a white summer suit
and a blue bunting bag for next
winter, Next winter, already,
1 haven't bought him a thing,
but 1 have a furtive foreboding
that that urchin is going to cost
me plenty, over the years. If the
cost of records and fishing tackle
and hockey equipment keeps
agoing up, I'll be beggared before
he's into high school. l seem to be
the only one in the family making
a buck these days.
His mother and father have
great plans for him. One is a
musician and the other an artist,
so they think he's going to be
some kind of genius. That's what
1 thought about my kids too. One
is a waiter, the other is a young
mother.
' However, if 1 use all my craft,
perhaps I can lure him away from
the decadent artistic life, and turn
him into a pretty good angler, or
something useful like that.
It doesn't really matter what
you plan for a kid of course, In
this crazy world, nothing is
clearer than that the best -laid
plans nearly always go agley.
All I hope for little Nikov is that
he gets a charge out of lift, allows
himself to love and be loved, and
is healthy.
Oh, yes, and one other thing:
that he's twice the man his
grandfather is.

Nixon wants study
of power line routes
Robert Nixon, leader of the
Opposition in the Ontario Legis-
lature was in Wingham last week
and called for an independent
study of possible routes for the
Ontario Hydro power line corridor
from Douglas Point to George-
town.
Mr. Nixon, in Huron to address
the Western Ontario North
Regional Liberal Association also
met with members of the
Bruce -Huron Hydro Negotiating
Committee, farmers along the
route of the line from Douglas
Point to Seaforth and the easterly,
line towards Georgetown.
"i believe it is possible to stop
the lines," he said. "The new
minister of the environment said
he was against public programs
using arable lands unnecessarily
and i think the project is certainly
doing that,"
He said he would recommend
an independent assessment of the
proposed route by a group such as
the Solandt commission, which is
studying proposed power lines
through the Brampton arca.
MPP Murray Gaunt (L. -Huron -
Bruce) said he would meet with
environment officials this week. •
In a speech to the association,
Mr. Nixon discussed platforms
which he felt should be included
in the throne speech Tuesday
when the legislature resumes.
He stressed the government
should have an objective of
keeping "viable farmland in
production."
He suggested "a clear policy is
required to assess the impact of
provincial projects, such as
highways and hydro dams on
agrictiltural land so the ministry
of agriculture will no longer
restrict its objections to federal
government projects, like the
Sarnia -to -Montreal pipeline."
Mr. Nixon also said the
provincial government can help
fight inflation by balancing its
budget this year.
He said deficits from the last
four provincial budgets have
exceeded $1.4 billion "and led to
an inflationary two per cent sales
tax increase in 1973."
Mr. Nixon also repeated his call
for a provincial prices review
board to investigate rising prices
and recommend remedial action.
He said his party will be calling
for decisive government action in
areas of housing, regional devel-
opment, education, health, the
environment, and the economy.
