Brown celebrate Golden anniversary The family of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Brown held open house for their parents at their residence on the occasion of their golden Wedding Anniversary on March 2, 1974. An afternoon tea was held from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and also in the evening from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., when many friends and relatives called to express their best wishes and congratulations. Many cards and gifts were received. Among the good wishes was a telegram from the 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. may drive taxes committees at $15,000 and conventions and delegations ' at $3,500. General administration' will take another $118,200 with, $80,000 required for salaries in the clerk -treasurer's department along with $5,000 for telephone bills; $1,500 for postage; $300 for advertising; $7,500 for legal, audit and insurance fees; $4,500 for travel and conventions; $700 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.

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 committee. Cal Krauter, a former county warden, is chairman of. the land division committee, 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.

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. County rate may rise CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 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. r 1 1 1 111 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 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. 11.1111111 THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 6, 1974.

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.

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- ria, Virginia, U.S.A. This crusade has been endorsed by the Clinton Ministerial Associa- tion in co-operation with Goder- ich Ministerial. 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 loss of 3.81 per cent. Total amount given by Charges in TBRD Assoc. meets Rev. Garbutt Smith, 'President of the local TBRD Association, Mrs. Frank Dodds, Mrs, Edith Brothers, Mrs, Edith Fisher, Mitchell and Mrs. Beryl Davidson attended the Semi•Annual meet- ing of the Ontario TB and Respiratory Disease Association in Toronto. Mr, Fergus Kelly, Christmas Seal Director for Ontario for the past 29 years was honored on his retirement with a presentation 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 rehabilitative and educational programmes carried out by the local Association, as well as efficient Christmas Seal Camp- aign secretaries and volunteers. passes Presbytery to, the Fund in 1973 was $272,272. United Church Ministers were promised some financial help in the battle against inflation when it was ,announced that General Council has recommended at least an 11 per cent increase for 1975 minimum salaies. The minimum base for 1974 is $6300, In 1975 it will be $7,000 reported the Secretary, Rev. Derwyn Docken of Walton. Rev. Ray Lindsay of Monkton, the Audio•Visual Convenor, was pleased to report that the Resource Centre in Main St. United Church, Mitchell is being used by many churches. The Centre has a supply of film -strips. tapes, and printed resources that United Churches in the Presby- tery may borrow free of charge. Rev. Lindsay urged more congre- gations to use thos material. A number of local people will be representing our area at the United Church's highest Court, General Council, when it meets in Guelph, August 18 to 24. Elected as delegates were Rev. Doug Warren of Crediton and Mr. Joe Snider of Goderich. Also nomin- ated to be placed on a list of possible delegates were: Mrs, Cora Thistle, St. Pauls; Mrs. S.E. Argyle, Goderich; Mrs. Ruth Shier, Kirkton; Rev. Don Beck, Hensall; Rev. Rae Grant, Listowel and Rev. Don Deas, Mitchell.

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. 1% l l 1r 'i i CHURCH OF GOD i ii McConnel Street, Blyth i i 1 CHURCH SERVICE: 11 a.m. I I 1 I I 1 ....\..\•••••.'.•.•1....•I,•••••\..••••.Y••••.•••..•,...1,41.•1,....,••.••••••.•••••.••••••••\ THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA REV.

'523-4246 Sport Talk THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 6, 1974. PG, 13 County sports centre discussed 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 in Mildmay tournament Blyth Peewees took part in the 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. p Stephen Spading won an p autographed picture of Daryl Sittler of the Toronto Maple Leafs and • Andy Westberg won an autographed stick by all members of the Toronto team plus everyone had the opportunity to see the 1973 Stanley Cup playoffs film, produced by Molsons. Blyth Peewees have played 30 games to date, winning 13, losing 14 and tying 3. 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 won the second game of their best of three series from Blyth Flyers by a score of 5-0. Final standings at the end of the regular schedule showed 8th Liners in first place followed by the Grads, the Flyers, Westfield, the Bears and Auburn. Blyth will host the annual broontball tournament on March 15, 16 and 17. 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- LOVE'S LAST GIFT REMEMBRANCE Whether N's a • MONUMENT ! MARKER • INSCRIPTION You are remembering a lowed o•.e. ich, the two adjacent townships and Clinton. 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 Exeter residents. "if 1 have anything to say about it, the town of Exeter will not support it. 1 don't really know what good it would be to Exeter or Winghamr" LET T. PRYDE SON LTD.

Walter Scott, long-time resident dies WALTER HARRISON SCOTT Walter Harrison Scott, son of the late John S.Scott and Alice Harrison, a respected and life- long resident of the community of Belgrave died in the Wingham and District Hospital on Monday, February 25 in his 68th year, He had been seriously ill since last May. Mr. Scott was born on Concession 7, East Wawanosh on January 27, 1907, He was married to the former Alice Shackleton of Ashfield in August 1936. They pursued the occupation of farm- ing on the old Scott homestead where he was born. Recent ill -health prevented active part- icipation in the occupation he loved, but Mr. and Mrs. Scott continued to live on the farm. He was an active member of Knox United Church, Bclgrave- a former elder and a trustee at the time of his death, He was always interested in his community and during centennial year was the chairman for the township cent- ennial project - the compiling of the book History of East Wawanosh. He was known over a wode area of Ontario because of his interest in the Black Knight and Orange Lodges, and last April attained the office of Grand Master of the Grand Black Chapter of the Royal Black Knights of Ontario West.

Agricultural Tidbits • Loss WITH ADRIAN VOS it appears that I ani not alone in my concern in the retaining of land for food production. From what I heard of the throne speech, the government of Canada proposes to do something ab out the covering of land with asphalt and concrete. The thing 1 an curious about is, if this will be just lipservice or if they will really meet head-on with the real estate speculators. We'll just have to wait and see. Farmers in the way of the transmission lines from the Bruce nuclear power station arc fighting Clayton Steckle, a Hay town- ship dairy farmer recently be- came the 2000th member of the Ontario Federation of Agrciulture in Huron county. Mr. Steckle's signing culmin- ates an intensive (hive by, members of the Federation in Huron in recent months to put the county over the 2000 mark in memberships. The landmark membership was sold by Ted Steinback, R.R. 3, Zurich and Vince Austin, R.R. 1. Dungan- non, For Mr. Steckle, it was the first time he had belonged to a farm organization and the first time he had been approached about membership in the Federation. "I think a fanner should belong to some farm organization," he said. He noted that the OFA's work in gaining a tax rebate for farmers for education taxes was one of the achievements of ;organization by farmers. He said of farm land hurts consumers desperately at the inquiry at Wingham, to have the lines go over less productive land. Far- mers in Arnprior are taking legal action against a dam fur a power station that will take away or spoil their drainage systems for ridic- ulous high-cost electricity. What gets me, is why aren't ore 'consumers helping the farmers in their fight? In the end it 3s their food cost that will go up. Where is the Consumers Association of Canada now? You can bet your bottom dollar that they will be on the fore -front, when the price becomes high, to blame the 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, producer. Because we are fort- unate enough to have progressive farmers in this country doesn't mean that we will always have a surplus of food. It will' be a sad day indeed when the day comes that we %%ill have to limit the export of food to hungry people because we squandered our land resources.

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. for the last half century lesser -•. ,.• ..4.4 • •...11111 politicians and businessmen have been undoing all the work Sir John gave us.

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 leaves pine needles Spread a mulch to prevent crusting t could shut off free exchange of 'nd water needed by roots. with 'DOC' HARTNOLL Remove plant carefully, Provide a "$5 hole for 50¢ plant" to encourage roots to grow out from present ball. that leaves barely touch each other. If there is too much• overlapping, the leaves will rot, Sprinkle the cuttings light- ly with just enough water to I. 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.

Cut off all injured or disease -spotted roots. Dip bare roots into thin mud if out of the soil more than a few hours. Sat- urate new pots by soaking 24 hours. Avoid air pockets that kill roots: set rose on cone of soil; slope wall pockets down, not up, tamp firmly. Provide a good send-off—with a dry fertilizer watered -in well, or with liquid "instant starter" solution. Don't plant seeds too close—or too deep. None should be closer than 1 inch, nor over "3 -seeds deep". Mulch all new seedings to keep soil Shade new plantings from hot sun.

P A Thin mercilessly: failure to do so #1 cause of trouble later. Replant else- where if you can't bear to pull! Bill Smiley 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 bring his bride when It is time for marriage. As the boy becomes older, he slowly starts to furnish the house for his future bride as income increases, Extensively developed for tourists, Eleuthera offers dozens of excellent beaches, harbours and villages. 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. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 6, 1974. PG.19.I 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. ********* Mountaineers from all around the world •- Japan, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Italy and the United States have climbed in the St. Elias Range in Canada's Yukon as a stepping stone to the Himalayas.
