KELLER Although some members of Huron County Council were still concerned about the wording of the plumbing bylaw, in a recorded vote the bylaw passed 40.14 at the March meeting.. Actually there were two rec- orded votes on the matter. The first was on a amendment to the former bylaw from 1961 to make changes in frees passed easily with only one negative vote. 'I'hc svond half, however. allotting the funds which will finance the department to imp- lement the bylaw, was not so well received having 14 opposition votes. Those members ws: John O.P.P. 3 Kcal Baker, Allan Campbell, Warden Bill Elston, Lloyd Ferguson, John Falnnery, Joe Hoffman, Robbie Lawrie, Bob Lynons, Jim Mair, Walter McBride, Jack McCutch- con. Ralph McNichol and Jack Tinncy. Dr, Frank Mills, Huron Med- ical Officer of Health, told council that after April 1, the Ministry of the Environment will be taking over• inspection of. septic tanks and weeping tile beds. He said the cost for such inspection will be $125, Mrs. Helen Jermyn of Exeter asked Dr, Mills what such inspections cost at the present time. Dr. Mills estimated $35 at the must, crc. o nn investigate accidents During the week of March 18 to March 24, 1974. the following investigations were carried out by officers at Winghann detachment of the O.P.P. On Thursday, March 21, Ken:,.:th H. Weigel of Clinton, received injuries as a result of an accident on his Boa -Ski striking a barbed wire fence, Damages to the Boa -Ski were minor. On Friday, March 22, Wayne C. •Gergens of Kitchener was injured as a result of a motor vehicle collision on Highway 86, west of the Perth -Huron County Linc, Howick Township when his vehicle skidded off the roadway, struck some guideposts, went through a fence and rolled over, Damages to his ihicle were estimated at $1000. Joyce E. Marshall of Godcrich, was involved in a single car accident on Highway 4, north of Huron Road 16, Morris Town- ship,. She was not injured as a result of the accident and damages to her vehicle were estimated at $200. Margaret M, Hallahan of R.R. 3, Blyth and Thomas Thompson of Queen Street, Blyth were involved in a two car collision on Highway 4, north of the Junction of Huron Road 25. There were no injuries, and damages were estimated at $350. Charges are pending. On Saturday, March 23, Louis 1.1. Phelan of R.R. 2, Blyth was involved in a single car accident on Highway 4, north of the CPR crossing in Blyth. Thcrc were no injuries, and damages were estimated at $500, "How strongly did we oppose this move?" asked Jack McCut- cheon of Brussels. Dr. Mills said the Ministry still has not made 'the announcement official although Huron's opposition has been registered through his office. "Public Health people are concerned about it," said the doctor. "They arc taking our budgets, our jobs." He also said the Ministry has no field staff as yet and for the present time, the health units have been asked to carry on. "it has all been very quiet,," said Dr, Mills, "Even our local members of parliament didn't know," Dr. Mills said the rumors are that the revenue from this branch of the Ministry of the Environ- ment will be "$2,000,000 plus Only 50 inspectors are expected to be hired across the province, Dr. Mills also explained. "1t will be the rueal ,nunicipal- itics who will suffer," said the MOH. 'Decision was retched to send a strongly worded protest to the government on this matter. The health budget is up $64,800 to $400,718. It is estimated the province will put in $165,400; bonne care, $14,800; VON. $600; and county rate- payers, $219,918, Smile, ..

KELLER Jinn Britncll, Huron County engineer recently elected Presi- dent of the Ontario Good Roads Association in Toronto, did not paint a particularly bright picture when he spoke to Huron County Council at it's March meeting. Although the county road budget remains about the sante as last year with the county raising $738,000 (about 10 mills) the amount of work to be done has been drastically cut. "This program falls consider- ably short of the amount of work we had hoped to do," said Britncll. "We have been forced to delete several projects from this year's budget in order to avoid raising our requirement of county funds." "in fact your county roads department has not asked for or received an increase in the county share of its budget for four years - and this in the face of the continued rise in costs of labor and materials," said Britncll, "As a result of this tight budgeting we have not been able to carry out some of the projects that some members of council would Tike to see completed." "We now have 204 miles of our 346 miles of county road paved," continued Britncll, "The average life of a hot mix surface is considered to be 10 years, so it can be seen we should re -surface a minimum of 20 miles per year. We haven't been re -surfacing this much annually recently so are now having to catch up by paving more than 30 miles this year. if we don't, some surfaces will deteriorate' rapidly." "This catch-up , resurfacing program is forcing us to delay, for the time being, many reconstruc- tion projects," said BritnelL To hold the line this year in Huron means using the 5157,000 accumulated surplus of highway funds from the general surplus account as well as $12,000 of the $135,000 Reserve Fund leaving a reserve balance of $123,000 plus interest. ".One of' the amain reasons for having to delete some projects and dip into our surplus and reserve is the increase of approximately 60 per cent in hot mix paving prices," said the county engineer. "This was caused by an increase of 250 per cent to 300 per cent in the price of the liquid asphalt that makes up six percent to seven per cent of the paving mixture. "This increase plus a drastic increase in the price of bunker heating oils and other petroleum products will cause the average price of hot mix paving to rise from $7 to $12 or more per ton," 'ne estimated, .He cited other increases - average low bid on gravel up 29 per cent in two years; gasoline, up 25 •per cent over last year diesel fuel up 20 -per cent; weed spray chemicals, up 39 per cent; centre line painting, up 52 per cent; reinforcing steel (if you can get it), up 163 per cent; asphalt spray patching liquid, up 34 per cent, Joesph Dietrich, chairman of the road committee, told council committee members were "really stunned this year". "We're still in sort of a state of shock," admitted Britncll who is still hoping competition will drive some oI' those prices down. "We had two choices," said Britncll. "We could continue with our program and increase the road mill rate by 25 to 35 per cent or hold the line and delay what we consider some very important projects." '.',The decision was not an easy one and we have.deeidecf, fur this year al (east, to recommend that we hold the line and not increase • our levy," said Dietrich. Reeve Anson McKinley asked whether the money saved on snowploughing would help with the budget. Britncll told him that since the men who usually plow thcsnow, were working all winter on other, county projects. about the only Honey saved was that which would have been spent on overtime. "The true saving may not show up for two or three years when a truck or a grader lasts a year or so longer," said Britncll. Road construction planned includes; Road 28 Gorric South, 6,5 miles, 5106,000; Road 25, Blyth to Walton, 7.6 miles, $214,000; Road 25. Blyth to Carlow, 10,5 miles, $269,000; Road 4, Crediton westerly. paving 7.5 miles (portion not :•1 mainten- ance $100,000) 525,000; Road 19, Ethel to Highway 86, land and fence, 5.2 smiles, $20,000; Road 7, Highway 4 to Road 12, spot improvements (in six hills, $90,000 When asked about the county's plan for Road 19 from. Ethel to Highway 86, Britncll told Reeve Charles Thomas that it takes at least two years and in excess of 5100,000 a mile including hot unix, to rebuild one mile of road. He said Road 19 was undergoing the first phase of a reconstruction program this year. , Road maintenance will cost $710,000; bridge maintenance, $10,000; road construction, $769,000; bridge construction, $20,000; construction of bridges on township boundary roads, $150,000 (Bluevale Bridge); and miscellaneous (rebates, over- head, new machinery, bank interest) $470,000.

PG. 2 THE BLYTHST'ANDARD, MARCH 27, 1974 j TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN David often looks like this. When he is interested and enthusiastic, his blue eyes dance and his smile is wide and friendly. Just turned 8, David has strong reactions to everything, so he is either happily on top of the world or in the depths, He needs parents who are calm and consistent themselves and thus able to deal with David's ups and downs. David is doing well in school, working in Grades 2 and 3. Tests indicate that he is of average intelligence but he seems to be above average. He is alert and observant and a good conversationalist on many topics. David enjoys reading and likes table games and puzzles. He is f;;nd of drawing and crafts. Cooking is one of his hobbies. Sports of all kinds, with a special preference for soccer, appeal to this healthy, active boy. He loves camping. David gets on best in a well -ordered life with regular routines so he knows what is going on and where he fits in. He needs a family where there are no children close to him in age He will be a fine son for a mother and father who will share his interests and offer him stimulation as well as love and who will be understanding of his changing moods. To inquire about adopting David, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2, For general adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid.Society. NEEDS TIME TO TRUST THIS 'N' THAT • BY R.W. A few weeks ago our editor was bemoaning the fact that a snowstorm passed us by and we hadn't had a really good blow all winter. Well, after the weather early this week, we hope he's happy. In fact, we hope he's got snowdrifts on his tonsils from having his b`g mouth open. *** If you think this late -winter or early spring rough weather is hard on us, though, just think of those poor spring flowers that poked their way up a couple of weeks back only to be buried in snow again. *** 'One thing about the snow, though, it's going to make us really appreciate spring (if it ever comes). The way spring seemed to be coming earlier without any real winter weather we weren't really going to get any big lift. Now, however, we're all likely to be jumping for joy.

Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan announced that the government will pay seven cents a pound on Canadian cattle for Canadian consumption. The sub- sidy is designed to provide adequate income to farmers and to permit Canadian farmers to compete with prices on U.S. beef ' that has glutted the Canadian market. ' Since the announcement of the original subsidy, the minister has said that the federal government will raise the amount to nine cents from sever' cents a pound to protect Canadian beef farmers.

(Spence) Cummings, Huron's development officer, tabled a comprehensive report of his work during 1973 and told County council that in his opinion, Huron County should establish a County Tourist Promotion Assoc- iation to handle the increased number of tourists expected to this area this summer. "The world-wide shortage of gasoline and the desire of people for vacations indicate that we should have an influx of tourists this season," said Cummings. "I am sure that the people in the northern states will be motoring to Canada for their vacations this summer. 1 hope that the operators of tourist facilities are preparing themselves for a big tourist season," Cummings said he was plan- ning to get interested tourist operators from Huron together to establish a County Tourist Promo- tion Association, He said this association should be to promote tourism in the county from within their organization and eventually, this would relieve the county of the responsibility for promoting the tourist industry through its development committee. The Sport Complex at one time proposed for Vanastra has not had enough support to give success to the venture, Cum- mings also reported. He said the former CFB Clinton had an arena, a gymnasium, a curling rink and messes reserved for a sports complex but decision has now been made to sell or rent each of these buildings separately to industry or to any other use. The arena, for instance, is being used year round now for roller skating, Cummings said. Where industry for the county is concerned, Cummings said the absence of available rental space has been one drawback in all his Westfield news BY MRS. CHAS.

"The county residents, whet- her public or private, can do something about the lack of rental space," Cummings said. "Each area needs a starter building for industry, a structure that can be divided into segments of 5,000 square feet. Most industries require a place to set up. They will then expand into other segments of the building or build a building of their own," "If they build, it is usually in the town in which they first locate," said Cummings. Cummings indicated one of the best industrial types to hope for is an industry which is related to the agricultural basis in Huron. He said Huron should not have to compete on the same basis with cities and towns along highways 401 and 400, and felt that some agricultural related industries should have some incentive to "move closer to their source of supply", "To establish a viable second- ary economic base in the county we need tourism and some additional industry in each of our towns and villages," said Cum- mings. There is hope for this, 8th Liners win championship The Morris 8th Liners team won the Blyth Broomball League title Monday night by defeating Westfield 3-0. Thursday night they had taken a 2-0 lead in the best of five series with a 2.0 shut out. * * * I The tradition of Red Cross Youth in Canada has been a tradition of service. Today, Red Cross youth are working to preserve that tradition, and to expand it in communities from coast to coast. * * * Almost 11,000 Canadians were assisted by the emergency service of the Canadian Red Cross Society last year. The majority of these are families whose homes have been destroyed by fire. Red Cross assists them with tem- porary shelter. * * * according to the' county's devel- opment officer. He said enquiries by industry have increased over the last two months. . "At the present r am working with 17 companies at various stages of decision," said Cum- mings. "1 would say that about half of these people are very serious in their negotiations and I see no reason at the moment that they will change their minds." He said industrial commissions in the various towels throughout Huron need help in establishing a planned industrial area apd in having private developers build suitable rental buildings. "This is the only way industry will be attracted to our area," said Cummings, The budget for the develop- ment office is up this year to $33,300, wage increases as well as other related costs are blamed for the hike, The weed inspection budget at $15,400 and the reforestation budget at $S,900 remain similar to last year's costs.

The caller at least had the courage to identify themself which is more than can be said by some angry'callers. But this caller did one thing that we hope will never be done again. The party threatened retaliation by withdrawing advertising and subscriptions from the paper if there was another editorial in the newspaper that displeased then. We deal with the problem here not to get back at the caller but simply to make it clear to anyone else who might try the same tactic sometime that iT WON'T WORK. Nothing angers a newspaper editor more than the threat to withdraw advertising if they don't swing into line with the ideas of the advertiser, Newspaper editors arc a stubborn lot and such a threat is like waving a red flag in front of a' bull. Several years ago the Toronto Daily Star and one of the two large department stores in Toronto had a disagreement and the store threatened to pull out its advertising. Despite the fact it would mean a loss of millions of dollars a year, the Star refused to back down, and the store pulled out its advertising. Before long, however, the store was advertising again it couldn't get along without it. You may think we are right or wrong in our euitorials, but we say what we think has to be said, and anyone who thinks that by threatening to take a few hundred dollars a year in business away from us is going to change our mind, doesn't know much about what makes a newspaper editor tick. As we said earlier, threats won't work. And phone calls, as we explained to the party in question, won't do much good. If we have made an error in fact, then we will be happy to correct it, but if a reader simply doesn't agree with the opinion expressed, there is very little likelyhood he will change the opinion of the editor by an irate phone call and he certainly isn't going to change the opinion of the readers of the paper. The Letter To The Editor column is one of the best read sections of the paper and represents the chance for anyone who doesn't agree with the editor to have his say. Well -thought-out letters to the editor will impress as many people as an editorial...and the writer, unlike the writer of the editorials, can remain anpnimous. A word of caution, however. Before you write for heavens sake read the editorial you disagree with and make sure you know what the editorial REALLY said. The party who called was upset because they claimed we demeaned those who live in mobile homes in the village. We said no such thing. We defended time and again the right and need of people to live in mobile homes. Our target, indeed, was village council which was preventing people from moving more mobile homes into the village onto regular lots, but were not providing an alternative for these people. Our only argument against mobile homes is that they should not be scattered among regular housing to a larger extent than they are now. Those who now live in a mobile home in Blyth have absolutely nothing to fear from the establishment of a mobile home park in the village since there is no way that they can be forced to move their homes from their present lots. If the mobile home park is set up properly, however, it might be a place where they would want to move so they would have less property to look after and would also be able to sell their larger lo`3 to builders. But thos would happen only on their own decision and nothing can be done to force it. We were discussing the future, not the past. If the caller had read the editorial throughly, we could have saved the whole messy affair. Hello, fellows yokels Well, it happened, just as we predicted. Several weeks back we wrote an editorial about the suggestion that a Huron county sports and cultural centre be built in Goderich. We predicted at the time that because those of us outside the immediate Goderich area didn't like the idea of being asked to pick up part of the tab for a facility we were, likely to never use we would be branded short-sighted. Well the ' actual adjective that was used in a Goderich-Signal Star editorial last week was parochial meaning, narrow. Actually, the editorial in question was a bit of a laugh because it spent the first three-quarters of its length in telling the rest of us in the county what poor dumb slobs we were for always being against things for Goderich and then in the last two paragraphs it claims that it was never intended that this should be a county -supported project and that the whole misunderstanding was caused by the London Free Press who quoted such project supporters as Goderich recreation director Mike Diamond as saying the•project would serve the whole county. Mr. Diamond is in turn quoted in the Signal -Star editorial as saying this is a ridiculous suggestion. For once, we agree with Mr. Diamond. If Goderich decides to go ahead with the project on its own'we wish them all the best. It would be a great addition to a fine town like Goderich. We would suggest that if they do build the centre and then find many people from the rest of the county using it, they make sure the users help support the cost of the construction and maintenance of the centre...that would be the only fair way. Despite what those such as the editor of the Goderich paper may think, we are not anti-Goderich. Goderich is a beautiful town and has very progressive businessmen and community leaders. But, it must be admitted, there is a kind of city snobbishness in the town: a sort of feeling that civilization stops at the boundaries of the town and doesn't start again until you reach London, Stratford or Kitchener. The rest of us are sort of ignorant yokels who hate Goderich so much that we want to do everything we can to hurt the town. We do not. • Some town has to be the capital of the county and Goderich for better or worse, is it. it has many attractions, but it isn't the only centre in the county worth noting. The rest of us CAN read and write and do Piave' things to offer. What we resent is the attitude on the part of some, but •by no means all, in Goderich promoted by the Goderich paper that if it's good for Goderich, it's good for Huron County. We are often told that this is'the age of mobility and that people can drive to shop or play or visit a government office or see entertainment. What bothers us is why we always have to drive but Goderich people always are supposed to have the service in their backyard. What others say Beef subsidy wrong Federal Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan is a man who has gained much respect from both the farmer and the consumer in the recent year or so. He has championed the food producer's cause from one end of the country to the other. He has said in effect: "You've got to start paving the farmer a decent return for his production, or he won't be there in a few years to supply any food at all." That's why it's so hard to understand his announcement last Friday that the Federal Government was putting a "temporary" subsidy of seven cents on every pound of finished cattle sent to the slaughter house. The immediate effect of the subsidy announcement was to depress the price paid to the farmer, making it difficult for him to show any profit and still failing to knock down the price to the consumer in most supermarkets. The real problem lies in the number of cattle corning in from the United States. Some 8,000 came in last week, duty free and cut the price paid for Canadian cattle. Normally, only 2,000 finished cattle a week end up in Canadian packing houses. And now the Canadian tax- payer is underwriting, to the tune of $15 million dollars, a scheme that has accomplished absolutely nothing. Prices on wednesday sagged to $45 per hundred- weight for top finished steers, and even with the $7 per hundred -weight subsidy prod- ucers are still not breaking even. We suspect that Mr. Whelan was under great pressure to appease both the United States and the beef producers, while at the same time trying to juggle the consumer to keep him happy too. But nobody now, except the U.S. is happy and something must be done now. •Clinton News Record. POLICE COSTS WILL RISE A recent story from Toronto recommended that most of the province's smaller police forces should be eliminated and made into larger regional police t„ ices. The idea is to combine some 179 smaller forces, including Clinton's into larger police units, about 30 to 40, that would supposedly be. better able to handle.the policing much better at a lower cost to the towns. But who's kidding whom. Judging from the cost of running some of the regional police forces now in effect in Ontario, the cost will skyrocket and somebody has to pay. You guessed it you and me, the little old poverty-stricken taxpayer. if Huron County was made into a regional police zone, how would the force be financed? Would the province pay the shot or would it be assessed on a per capita basis Letter to the To the Editor, In reminiscing the other day and realising that I moved to Blyth 50 years ago this year and wondering what changes have been made since then and on reading the editorial of last week's Standard was that then 1. discovered that all 1 have done for our fair village is to have moved in a shabby mobile home to cheapen the surrounding neigh- bourhood where I live.

Box 10, Blyth, Ontario ' Telephone 523''-Q646 Update In-depth reports THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 27, 1974, PG, 5 The region County group wants more research into non-nuclear energy sources A lengthy position paper has been filed by mail to the Ontario Energy Board, the Honorable Darcy McKeough, Ontario Hydro, members of the Opposition Parties at Queen's Park, Federal Government officials, representatives of the Federal Political parties and other groups concerned about the proposed expansion of the CANDU nuclear power. The report has been researched and contains many recommendations to be considered before making a firm decision to abide with nuclear energy as the major Source of energy in Ontario. Some of these recommendations are: that there he an immediate research into all the uncertainties and dangers of nuclear power and these be clarified and settled. That a large percentage of funds and expertise presently involved in the nuclear power program be redirected toward research into alternative methods of energy production; That the government initiate a detailed study of energy use to enable an objective stud) of benefits and demands; That the government determine proced- ures to alleviate the cncrgy problem in a ratiopal planner by initiating activities in conservation of energy as opposed to more cncrgy production; That the case for nuclear power be placed before the people in an honest and unprejudical manner with the real advantages and disadvantages balanced squarely. Because of the very Iargc investment of both Federal and Provincial government funds the true cost of generating nuclear power can be quite misleading. The high cost of building a nuclear reactor has to be regarded as a total write-off at the end of 30 years. This is due to the radio -active contamination level at the end of the reactor's expected life of 30 years, It is economically unfeasible to recycle any of the value of the power plant. Due to the danger of the radio -active material used to produce nuclear power the station has to be far removed from the population centre that it is designed to benefit. The extra cost in transporting the power 'to these centres and the land Toss in doing so has to be charged against the economic benefits of a nuclear station. The report also contains a number of alternatives to nuclear power. One such alternative is harnessing solar power. Sunlight, it is suggested, could be collected and be used to boil water or some other liquid which in turn is used in the conventional manner to produce electricity. It has been stated that the average daily amount of solar energy that falls 00 Lake Erie exceeds the total consumption figure , for Canada's neighbour, the United States, from all energy sources combined, during the same period. Direct conversion has also been suggested for using solar power. This method is deemed more versatile and would provide power where it is needed. This system proposes space screens for the direct conversion of solar energy into electricity coupled with laser projection systems to bean the power directly to the industrial hearts of the continent thus • eliminating the costly and offensive power line systems presently in use. The roof of a house can also be used to collect solar energy to supply an individual' house with its energy needs. This method, the Biosphere Concept, combines a living arca, a greenhouse, a solar heater and a solar still to produce the electricity for the house. Proponents claim several power functions can be operated independently from any public utility at lower costs than conventional sources for heat, water and waste disposal. Systems to harness the wind have been operating on a small scale for many years. Conventional windmill systems have supplied houses with power for nearly 40 years, Scientists have radically improved this system and hope to bring this approach into operation in the Arctic. There has been much discussion in Ontario in the last few months on the topic of producing methane gas from organic waste. The Ontario Federation of Agricult- ure has been urging the Government of Ontario to take a serious look at the possibilities in this area. An engineering firm in the U.S. has proposed a system of heat difference cotversion using the oceans as a power source. The system operates on the principle of heat differences between two water sources. One particular source is the Gulf Stream. Temperatures on the surface of this current vary up to 45 degrees with temperatures of water several thousand feet below. Estimates placed the cost of a floating power station at $17,000,000 per 100 megawatts. The system also provides the additional benefit of using waste heat The nation Keeping the fires lit better than At Tong last, many jaded Prairie folk will say, Ottawa seems to be taking the West seriously. Finance Minister Turner said in a Vancouver speech that the federal government will get right down to business changing this country's tariff structure to give the West a better shake in developing employment - generating industry. Transport Minister Marchand promises to bear down on Inc early development of an equitable, national transportation policy that will reduce, if not eliminate, many of the West's long-standing frustrations about discriminatory freight rates and physical carrying -capacity dislocations affecting Prairie products. "Something we do not have is a real policy," the minister said, "and 1 hope that sooner, rather than later, it will be possible to have such a policy," Don Jamieson, federal minister respons- ible for regional economic expansion, says the regional development incentives system will be changed to give more • assistance to smaller enterprizes, perhaps leading to a much-needed capital lift for modest -sized employers, providing a better opportunity for them to expand job opportunities out this way. to desalianate the water. The main purpose of the suggestions' contained in this report are to demonstrate. that work is being done to secure power, sources at less cost and danger than nuclear power. The successful develop- ment of such power projects, however, will be difficult and environmental problems with some of them would be unreasonable ito deny. Yet the problems seem slight when compared to the unique dangers, and unknown complications of nuclear power. A.H. Booth of the Department of National Health and Welfare has said, "It is now generally agreed that there is no 'threshold', no level so low that the possibility of producing an adverse health effect completely disappears. This being so, the question as to what level is safe is a matter of opinion only...It is a value that even the man on the street can just as well have an opinion about." "But is the public demanding it? Or rather have the cards been laid squarely on the table so that the public knows what it is demanding when it is choosing to forego when it chooses nuclear power? The answers to these questions are crucial; we cannot claim that the public is demanding something when we have hindered responsible choice, or when we have prejudicially encouraged the demand, or when we have done both", the brief from" CANDU states. "As long as we rely , on nuclear power as an energy answer, we will be reluctant to devote alternate sources", the brief continues, "Our search for cncrgy need not be a desperate, unthinking plunge. All that is required is the decision of government agencies to provide the much needed funds", it concludes. cold shoulder Recently following the Western prem- iers' conference at Saskatoon, there was a indication that the West might try to devise its own regional industrial development policy independent of Ottawa. Premier Lougheed of Alberta and Premier Blakeney of Saskatchewan came home from their discussions with Prime Minister Trudeau in Ottawa with mixed feelings about real federal intentions concerning creation of a new national development policy as a kind of trade-off for Western compliance on oil pricing. Mr. Trudeau even hinted about calling an election on the energy issue if Alberta The world, Tape erasure caused little reaction BY FRANK RUTTER The Watergate tape erasure is the most dangerous "evidence" so far against U.S. President Richard Nixon. Yet the news of the tape tampering - for that is what it amounts to - didn't excite as much reaction here as some of last year's Watergate sensations. It may do so, however, as it sinks in. The I'it•st question that has investigators and prosecutors scurrying around us, "Who did it?" But surely the crucial question should be "What %vas on it?" •i•he evidence is ch•cumstantial as has been all the Watergate evidence relating directly to the president. But the circle is tightening. Previous evidence under oath that t' erasure was accidental has become inoperative, as White House officials would say. It is inconceivable that going back over an 18 minute segment of tape at least five fillies to rub out that part of a conversation lasting, altogether, an hour and 19 minutes could be accidental. And it just happens that this part of the conversation, between Mr. Nixon and H.R. Haldeman, his former chief of staff, was about Watergate, Mr. Haldeman's person- al notes show the two discussed a "public relations" campaign on the subject. It does not seem unreasonabh• for The New York Times to have characterized "public relations" as "a euphemistn for coverup as it did in an editorial in any event, why would anyone - who it was is not the prime question - erase part of this conversation unless it was incriminating or seemed to incriminate the president? It. is all very well for John Rhodes of Arizona, vice president Gerald Ford's successor as Republican leader in the House of Representatives, to despair, "nobody really knows what was on the tape." In fact, somebody does know • the president and Mr, Haldeman. They were doing the talking. If this was another case 'of blind acid misguided loyalty on the part of a White House aide, be she Rose Mary Wods or anyone else, the president is implicated far more seriously than he has been up to now because it's what he said on the tape that counts. If what he said could have cleared him then time would have been no reason for anyone to erase it. It is only human to deny, as White House spokesman Gerald W, rren has clone, that the president had anything to do with the erasing. Spiro Agnew was denying things right up to the moment of his downfall 1a1 court. Mr. Warren made what could be a most revealing slip when ho also said that "there have been many discussions about this matter" • that is, the erasures. He said this just one clay after the proof of erasures Was delivered to court. Up td that point, so far as the White House was telling the and Saskatchewan failed to agree to play ball with Ottawa on oil by the end of March. Ottawa now appears to have acquired a sense of urgency with respect to actual national policy adjustments to expedite Western development. Instead of nurturing regional economic insularity that could only benefit the West at the nation's expense, maybe the best course is to fan the flames of positive national action emanating from Ottawa, and make sure this tinie they don't sputter and die. -Regina Leader Post - 'could be dangerous public and the court, there had been only one erasure and that was accidental. Did Mr. Warren mean, then, that someone had known all along that the tape was doctored? The trouble with Mr. Nixon is that whatever he says, or his spokes::ten utter, is subject to disbelief'. Mr. Nixon's public support, after a brief rebound, seems to be sinking again. But What is even more serious is that government in general is being disbeliev- ed. The current skepticism about the energy shortage is a prime example. And a good case can be made that when people, over the Christmas holiday s, were telling their local con1gessnlcn that the cncrgy shortage was their number one gripe they 9.411 e II: VIM DRUGS DRUG SUNDRIES VETERINARY MEDICINES were psychologically reacting to their opinion of Nixon. But there arc beliefs, deep in the American psyche, that arc hard to dislodge. One of these is in the inviolability of the office of the presidency. This explains the reluctance of the public and its representatives in Congress to go all out for impeachment of Nixon. It is the office, not the man, that they are afraid of diminishing. it is rather like nlpeaching the Queen, though not at all like getting rid of a prime minister. And yet the monarchy survived the abdication or "resignation" of Edward Vlll on a far less serious moral issue than that in which Mr. Nixon is entangled. - Vancouver Sun OUR MAIL ORDER , SRIVICE lm A4 CLOSE Aff YOUR rltl;usrsoNE PG, 6 THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 27, 1974 INVITATION -- 1.0 rim% 111111111113 CRUSADE GODERICH STARTS THIS FRIDAY MARCH 29, TO A PR!L 7 KN.G1 PAISOTIIAIIN CHUHCII GODERICH Nightly HYMN SING 7:45 p.m. SERVICE at 8:00 p.m. Plan now to attend this important event.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 27, 1974, PG. 11 Some second thoughts Despite early reaction against Health Minister Marc Lalonde's move against the Toronto NOrthmen of the World Football League, criticism is now being tempered by second thoughts. The first reaction of Canadians when the government sticks its finger into a business pie is usually negative but later, when cooler heads prevail it isn't always so. The letters received from across the country by Mr. Lalonde. for instance, show that he has more people with hint than against him (including, surprisingly a few letters from the U.S. supporting the Canadian Football League). Support is strongest in the West and condemnation strongest in Ontario. although not as strong as first thought. Dick Alderidge, one of those forgotten Canadians in the CFL who toils with the Argonauts supports Lalonde. "I'ni glad it happened in one way," he says. "We do have something here in the CFL and now a lot of other people realize it. We have become infiltrated with so much American propaganda that if you mention anything Canadian people back up. We should forget about continually comparing everything with the States and look internally to see what we've got." Alderidge also took a shot at the media for perpetuating a fantasy that everything American—especially in sport --is superior. "We have many things here that deserve more support and attention --college and high school basketball and hockey for instance --but the media is always concentrating on something that is happening in the United States," Amen, brother. **** During the whole Northmen versus Lalonde fuss, the Northmen have looked like the put-upon party. But from time to time things have leaked out that show the Northmen are being far from innocent choir boys. Like the fact that (despite their statements they wanted to protect the CFL) they drafted several players from CFL teams. Like the fact that while the Argos were in the office of an agent in Chicago last week to sign a star running back, a call came from the Northmen asking the agent 'not to sign and promising to top the offer made by the Argos. even though apparently the Northmen didn't know what the Argos were offering.

Mrs. Colclough reported that the "VAN" was ready to be put in use, and it is hoped to present the keys to Mr. Robert McKinley sometime during the week of March 25. The Van has been paid for but the modifications, namely installing the Lift and raising the roof hasn't been billed as yet.

Next month will be our Annual Meeting and a committee consis- ting of Mrs. Peck, Mrs. Sutcliffe and Mrs. Niven was appointed to bring in a slate of Officers to serve in the coming year. We hope there will be a good attendance of members next month for the election of officers. The meeting closed with 'the Mizpah Benediction and refresh- ments were served. It's my second trip in 30 years BY BILL SMILEY Canadians, weary of winter, are taking advantage of the school winter break in ever-increasing numbers to get away from the true north, strong and freezing, Colleagues casually mention that they're off to the Caribbean or Mexico or the Canary Islands or some such exotica. It's considered passe these days to go merely to Florida. Students descend in throngs on places like Athens, Rome, Paris, London. Chief reason is that air travel is no longer for the rich only. Package deals and charter flights put a mid -winter break within reach of us ordinary Joes. A friend of mine, for example, is going with his wife for a week in the Channel Islands, those tiny bits between England and France. Air fare is only $209 each, return. And do you know what they're paying for a hotel room with bath and three meals a day? Twenty-eight lousy pounds a week, because it's off season. That is about 60 bucks. They couldn't stay home for much less. Well, I'm not one for skulking • off to the south and leaving other Canadians to suffer. I had a choice. I could go over to ' see Grandad, or fly to Germany for a few days. Free. It's not that 1 don't respect and admire my 'ather-in-law, but for some reason 1 chose Germany I hope i get a better reception than 1 did last time 1 visited that country. Last time I ventured into Gernahy was almost 30 years ago. There was a fairly large and assorted company in the group 1 travelled with: privates, Corp. orals, sergeants and one Flying Officer • me. We had no trouble getting into Germany, even though we had no passports. Perhaps it was be- cause of the efficiency of our tour guides. There were eight of them, and they were extremely attent- ive. They would even accompany one when one had to relieve oneself. • The guides were tastefully arrayed in field -gray, and had similar accessories - guns. 1 can't kick, however. I'll bet 1 was the only P.O.W. who rode across the_Gernlan border on a bicycle. 1 couldn't walk because of a well -aimed kick on the kneecap,' and they were sure as hell not going to carry me, so they let me ride one of their bikes. I'll never forget the first place we stayed at, in Germany. it was my first taste of that old-world charm. It lacked a few of the amenities we spoiled North Americans are accustomed to, but it had a quaintness all its own. it was a barn. There was nobody there but us chickens, the cattle and the tour guides. At that, it was practically cosy after a couple of weeks living iri a box -car, in Holland. it was a mite chilly, being November, but we paired off and curled up in the hay, like so many sets of spoons. 1 drew a big ugly Canadian private from St. Catharines with a bullet wound in his neck which stank a bit. But he was warm. One of our next stops was the delightful old city of Brunswick, where. we spent an enchanting three hours in the air raid shelter, during a raid. It was worth it. The German equivalent of Red Cross ladies gave us coffee, ersatz but hot, the first hot drink we'd had for days. Some other highlights of my visit were: the interrogation centre and "solitary" near Frankfort; rolling on a train through a night attack on Leipzig, windows shattering, flares and bombs falling; a look from a train at the appalling raibble of Hamburg; hitch -hiking back from deep inside the Russian lines to Rostock; a visit to the concent• ration camp at Celle. This visit couldn't be more interesting, but it should be more comfortable. I'm not going .by bicycle, but by jet. And my kid brother, the Colonel is over there. He didn't know enough to get out of the air force, and has nothing to look forward to but a big, fat pension any day now. But he'd better have the band out, the red carpet down, and the liebfrau• milch laid on, or he's in 'deep trouble. FOR EVERY MEAL DUNCAN HINES 2 19 OZ PKGS.

Ontario has more than 600,000 people in the over -65 age group—and the number is increas- ing rapidly. Some estimates suggest that by the year 2000, the ovcr•60 group will represent the majority of our population. (So if , you're over 34 now, start thinking!) Our youth -worshipping society tends to dismiss or ignore the aged, perhaps as living reminders of our own mortality; and because of life's accelerating pace and modern learning's rapid obsol- escence, age is no longer associated with wisdom. Not only that, but our ever - greater mobility often results in the older generation getting Icft behind -• it's exceptional today to see two or more adult generations of a fancily living under the sane roof. Some, of course, arc able to stay at home and to look after their own needs. Others require assistance •• a lot or a little. For those who are healthy, there arc Homes for the Aged, or the Ontario Ministry of Health's Home Care program, which offers visits from nurses or help with minor difficulties. For those who require regular daily nursing care, Ontario's 417 nursing homes represent an alternative to being hospitalized. And today's nursing homes are much more than simply reposit- ories for the elderly. There seems to be a growing awareness that older people have emotional and recreational needs as well as physical ones...and that they have a claim to a retirement enriched with interests rather than stifled with solitude. Mar- ried couples are able to go on living together. In Ontario, the term 'nursing home' can only be applied to those institutions licensed under the Nursing Homes Act (April 1972). To qualify for admission you have to need at (east 11/2 hours of nursing and personal care daily (though not so much that hospitalization is necessary). and your doctor must complete an application for the extended care benefits covered by OHIP. Incidentally, these benefits only apply if you have been living in Barka fighter. Ontario for at least the past year. A minimum of 75 per cent of Ontario's 23,000 nursing home beds come under the program. An up-to-date list of nursing home addresses can be obtained from the Ministry of Health, Nursing Home Inspection,. 880 Bay Street, Toronto MSS 1Z8. There are waiting lists for admission at many nursing homes, and once you're in, eligibility to stay is reassessed at six-month intervals. Health ins- urance (OHIP) pays $10,50 a day for each resident. The individual contributes from $4.50 a day (for standard ward accommodation) up to $11.50 a day (for a private or semiprivate room), depending on the type ,f accommodation chosen. In seeking a nursing home, consider its location and sur- roundings, its medical, nursing and recreational facilities •- and make sure it's licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Health. It's not easy to adjust to the new lifestyle of a nursing home -- but the homes themselves are trying to make it less difficult, At one Toronto nursing home I visited, the 200 residents have TV lounges, regular bingo games, parties, exercise programs, a library and learning opportun- ities in a variety of arts and crafts. The one -storey building is bright and colorfully decorated, and the service includes accom- modation, food, laundry and recreational facilities •• as well as 24-hour registered nursing care in three shifts. Nursing Home standards are subject to regular assessment for continuing licen- sure. The ideal situation exists when our older people can be cared for by relatives in a family environ- ment. The alternative, especially where there arc -inadequate facilities at home and no need for hospital care, is the nursing home. And the nursing home today is emphasizing the home aspect of caring for the aged as much as the nursing part.

In some European countries, among many families, it is con- sidered de riguer to have dinner served quite late In the evening. In the skiing villages of the French Alps, after a strenuous evening of schussing and stem-christleing, a hot bowl of French Onion Soup, some garlic -flavoured French bread, and a Caesar salad is the perfect combination for a climax to a full day. The same holds true for Canada's skiing fraternity. Onion Soup 1/4 cup butter or margarine 6 slices toasted French bread 1/4 teaspoon pepper 6 tablespoons freshly grated 4 Targe onions, thinly sliced Parmesan cheese 4 cups beef stock (4 bouillon cubes dissolved in 4 cups boiling water) Saute onions in butter until tender, stirring to separate Into rings. Add stock and pepper to onions, bring to a boil. Add salt and lemon juice. Place a slice of toast on each serving and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese. Servings may be placed under the broiler for a short time until cheese bubbles. French Bread Makes great eating with soups and salads. Method: Cut the loaf in diagonal 1 inch slices. Spread each side of each slice with melted butter seasoned with garlic powder or mixed with crushed garlic. Wrap tightly in foil and heat in a 275°F oven for 30 minutes. A Great Caesar Salad Serves 6 1/2 cup salad or olive oil 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 small can anchovies '/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 cups croutons 1 clove of garlic 1 tablespoon cider vinegar 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/4 teaspoon pepper large head of romaine 1 egg Add garlic clove to oil 24 hours before using. Remove garlic and combine 1/4 cup oil with lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt and pepper. Cut anchovies into small pieces, save a few for garnish and add to dressing. Tear romaine Into pieces and add dressing and cheese. Toss lightly until romaine is coated. Break egg into salad and toss until well mixed. Sprinkle croutons over salad, mix lightly, serve immediately. Croutons Trim crusts from 4 slices enriched white bread, cut Into 1/2 inch cubes.

Agricultural Tidbits Huron has fine representative WITII ADRIAN VOS Huron county pork producers and indeed all of Huron county can be proud of Ontario's Pork Hostess, our, own Miss Miriam( VanRaay. I had the privilege to watch her with several hundred more of my . peers, when she stood before this large audience and deliver^d her address about the role of the Pork Hostess. She received a standing ovation, at least as large, as Federal Agricultural Minister Whelan got. And when he said later that in his view she is a queen even if her title is not, it was as if the audience said: „Amen." We can only hope that this year enough girls between the ages of 18 and 25 will compete for this honour, so that we c..n conte up with another girl of her calibre from Huron county. Remember you non-farm girls, you can compete too, as long as you know about pork nutrition and recipes. ***** On the cover of our working papers at the pork producers convention was a picture of two porkers. The one was dated 1973 with a price tag of $73, accompanied by a prosperous looking farmer, The second was dated 1974 with the same $73 price tag. The companion how- ever was • dressed in rags. This very well demonstrated the difference in input prices the farmer has to shell out, How the pork producers' income is doubly jeopardized, because not only the inputs went up, but the outputs went down bi price. We remain hopeful that it will turn for the better though. If people ever eat the Canadian Redcoat dinner that was served taus on the first day, we know that they will return to this fare time and time again. Last year more than 50 blood donors received their 100 -dona- tion certificates from the Red Cross blood transfusion service. This represents well over 25 years of faithful attendance at blood donor clinics by each of the recipients. * * * It takes only 30 minutes to give a blood donation at a Red Cross blood donor clinic. This includes the pre -testing, about five minutes for the actual donation, a rest and 'refreshment, * * * By reciprocal agreement between the nations of Great Britain, the Philippines, India, Thailand, Ma- laysia, Mexico, Switzerland and the United States of America, a domiciled Canadian in need of blood can receive it, hi no Cost to himself in any of these countries. It's gourmet's stuff. It's better than any meat that I've ever tastcd.bel'orc. It's better than just linger -licking good. If I do sound euphorious, just try it sometime. ***** To stay with pork, 1 may as well ntcntiom' the Ontario Pork Con- gress coming up in Stratford on June 19, 20 and 21, Every day from 10 a.m. 'till 3 p.m. is a consumer program with all sort of goodies. In the restaurants those days will be featured the afore mentioned Canadian Redcoat. Mmmmm.. That alone is worth the trouble to rent a bus and go with the whole club.

All you do is accumulate fifteen demerit points and lose your licence for thirty days. Do it again and lose your licence for six months. In this province, it definitely pays a driver to score a big fat zero. Ontario's demerit point system is designed to convince the poor driver to drive properly. Drivers who do not improve are then taken from the road because they're a menace to pedestrians and to other drivers. But the system is not at all unjust. It's aimed at telling the driver where he's gone wrong and giving him plenty of time to cor- rect his faults. For instance. When you've accumulated six points, you'll be notified and urged to improve your driving. When you've got nine, you'll prob- ably be asked to attend a private interview and re -do your driving test. At fifteen points, you'll lose your licence for thirty days and drop back to seven points. Gert fifteen again and you won't drive for .six months. However, your record won't be indelibly marked. If you drive for two years without a traffic con- viction your points are erased and your slate is clean. How Demerit Points Accumulate: 7 points Failing to remain at scene of an accident (Highway Traffic Act). 6 points Careless driving. Exceeding speed limit Racing. by 30 m.p.h. or more. 5 points. Driver of bus failing to step at unprotected railway crossings. 4 points Exceeding the speed limit by 20 to 29 m.p.h, Failing to stop for school bus. Following too closely. 3 points Exceeding speed limit by 11to19m.p.h. Driving through, around or under railway crossing barrier. Failing to yield right of way. Failing to obey a stop sign, signal Tight or railway crossing signal. 2 points Failing to lower headlamp beam. Improper opening of vehicle door. Prohibited turns. Towing of persons on toboggans, bicycles, skis, etc. prohibited. Failing to obey direc- tions of police officer. Failing to report an accident to a police officer. Improper passing. Crowding driver's seat. Wrong way on one-way. street or highway. Failing to obey signs other than those mentioned a'.:ove. Pedestrian cross-over. Failing to share road. Improper right tum. Improper left tum. Failing to signal. Unnecessary slow driving. The whole point is to score nothing, keep your record clean and drive happily ever after. Ontario Ministry of Transportation & Communications Hon. John R. Rhodes A.T.C. McNab Minister Deputy Minister PG. 16 THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 27, 1974 From the Minister's Study BY CECIL WITTICH "A wise old preacher went to a college to deliver a baccalaureate sermon. After finishing his message, he lingered on the campus to talk with members of the graduating class. He spoke with a brilliant young graduate named Robert. His first question to Robert was: "What are your plans for the future?" "I plan to go immediately to law school," said Robert. "What then Robert?" inquired the preacher. "Well," responded Robert, "I plan to get married and start a family and then get myself securely established in my law practice." "What then Robert?" continued the preacher. Robert retorted, "I must frankly say that I plan to make lots of money from my law practice and thereby I hope to retire rather early and spend a great deal of time travelling to various parts of the world • something that I have always wanted to do." "What then, Robert?" added the preacher with almost annoying inquisitiveness: "Well," said Robert, "these are all my plans.' Looking at Robert with a countenance expressing pity and fatherly concern, the preacher said, "Young man, your plans arc far too small. They can extend 75 or a 100 years at the most. You must make your plans big enough to include God and large enough to include eternity." This is wise advice. I suspect that all too many of us arc still dabbling in plans that are big in quantity, but small in quality, plans that move on the horizontal plane of time rather than on the vertical plane of eternity. I, too, would urge you to make your plans so large and broad that they cannot be bound by the chains of time and the manacles 'of space. Give your life -• all you have and are to the God of the universe whose purpose changeth not. Whcrc do we Lind this God? In a test tube? No. Where else except in Jesus Christ the Lord of our lives? By knowing him we know God. By committing ourselves absolutely to Chirst and his way, we will participate in that marvelous act of faith that will bring us to the true knowledge of Gos."

"The introduction of the subsidy as an interim measure to help beef producers appeared to be a basically positive stove by government,". Mr. Sanford said. "The lower prices that are being bid for slaughter cattle are rubbing the producers of the subsidy that was intended for them. This could result in a slight reduction at consumer level without interfering with the profits of the wholesalers and retailers that have recently beat questioned by even the Prices Review Board." "Lack of organization in the beef industry makes the application of any subsidy program very difficult to administer and clearly indicatr's the urgency of establishing a national authority," he said, Mr. Sanford added that at its best the subsidy program now in effect is short term and hoped that the federal government would very shortly come forth with a stabilization program that takes into consideration the cost of production for all farm commodities. **** DON'T GAMBLE WITH GASOLINE Did you know that 40 gallons of gasoline, vaporized and mixed proportionately in air, have the explosive potential of 240 pounds of dynamite? Because they evaporate quickly and mix with air, gasoline vapors are particularly hazardous. in the right proportions. the misture can explode with the flip of a Tight switch. "While we have been able to 'tame' gasoline for internal combustion engines,, many people continue to gamble by using it for unintended --and potentially dangerous -- purposes." says Don Brown, general manager of the Farni Safety Association. • Keeping gasoline away from open flames isn't the only precaution people need to take to prevent explosions and fires. For example, gasoline is not meant o be a cleaning fluid. It should no, Fe used to clean floors, clothing and machinery parts. Neither should at be used to start tires in brush, trash piles of briquettes. • Many gasoline accidents occur during refuelling, Always turn off the motor on tractors, trucks and machinery before filling the tank. Gasoline -powered tools such as lawnmowers aid chainsaws should not be refilled when they are hot. Even supposedly 'empty' tanks and drums can be dangerous; the gasoline might be gone but the explosive vapors remain. Excessive heat, electrical and welding sparks can all rause the dram or tank to explode. While it may seem c,.tsy to use gasoline to clean greasy machinery chains, don't gamble. Store gasoline properly and use it only as the fuel it t(,as designed tt, br.

AND FOOD Question: We rent corn land to grow corn. It scents difficult to arrive at a fair rental. The landlord (vuuld like to share in some of the higher market prices. Since he doesn't participate in the management, I would like to develop a system kvhere only I benefit from my management, hut he shares in the market risks. Answer: (.1..1. Hagarty. P.Ag., Stratford) There is some interest in variable cash leasing. Landlords are hearing about present prices of grains and would like to benefit. Iii some cases they are asking very high rentals and getting it. But, in most cases, only for one year at a time. Very few farmers want to commit themselves to $40 or more per acre rental over a five year period. And yet, longer term leasing is an advantage from a stability point of view. One idea is to establish a base of a certain number of bushels of corn. The rental could he something like 20 bushels of No. 2 dry shelled corn, Then it' the price of corn drops back to $1,50 per bushel, the rent would be $30.00 per acre. If the price goes up to $4.00 per bushel, the rent would be $80,00 per acre, You should give some thought to how you establish price, You could select a particular date and place. The place could be given elevator on a given clay. It might be better to take the average of several predetermined dates. This would reduce the risk of a single day of wildly fluctuating prices. The amount and date of any advance payment must be deter- mined, say, $?:). per acre un April I. I1174. Final settlement might he On December 1st. Either minimum or niaximun► rents could be set. A maximum rent, e.g. $0.00: -acre would serve as a measure of protection for you against crop failure ur low yields. Crop Insurance would give you added protection so that you could meet these input costs. A minimum rent. e.g. $25.iacre would give the landlord protect• ion against very Iuw prices.

BY KEITH ROUSTON The more one listens to the big city media and to politicians, the more one wonders if the small town has a voice in the running of the country these days. Recently we heard several politicians, on a panel discussion saying that the rural members of Parliament have too much power. The politicians, (they were from the city of course), were pointing out that there is too great a representation for the rural vote and not enough for the urban. The "rural" members how- ever, were in our mind not really all that rural and the term throws confusion into the picture. Mur- ray Gaunt, for instance, was given as an example of a "tura!" member who did a good job in the legislature. We would suspect Jack Riddell would also be in this category. But we did a little figu;1iig about that "rural" tag. Add up the population of the urban centres in Huron county and you come up with the conclusion that over 40 ter cent of the people residing in Huron county live in urban areas: that is they live in housing areas similar to those in any urban area and depend on urban jobs, not farm jobs for a livilhood. Yet, to listen to the city politicians talking, you'd think that this 40 per cent didn't exist. To them, unless you lye in a' city of SO thousand population or more, you're a rural resident. So, you have the viewpoint of the rural (farm) voter on the one hand and the big city voter on the other, and we who live in small towns are left out in the cold. Not that we're completely abandoned, of course.' M.P.P.s like Murray Gaunt and Jack Riddell do their best to make sure our problems get solved and they usually succeed. But the fact remains that when the government, either provincial or federal, passes an "urban bill" on transportation or housing or just about anything else, it applies only to the big cities. There is awareness of the needs of the big city and of the farm population, but there is no real awareness of the small town (and we mean towns up to 20,000 population or thereabouts) prob- lems. No studies are conducted on how to solve small town problems. We dant have a lot of money spent to see how to improve our way of life. In fact, usually the money it spent to see how to centralize government or business to take man, of the things we now have away from us. The small town is almost forgotten in the thinking of modern policy generators and it's a shame. The small town has been the backbone of the nation for a century, and the nation has been the better for it. Surely it can't be something we should throw away like an old non -re- turnable bottle.
