BY WILMA OKE At a special meeting of the Huron County Board of Education Monday night to discuss the snake -up of the budget, R.B. Dunlop, business Administrator, reported he had received the grant structure in the mail that day. Mr. Dunlop outlined his proposed method of presenting the budget -and said he could be ready for a meeting with board members next Monday. He reported numerous calls from clerks in the municipalities anxious to have the school levies. He said the ceilings have changed but "this has not been a problem with us". John Henderson, R.K. 5, Seaforth, asked for a comparison on a school to school basis, "When the teachers send in their budget, how much are ,they allowed and how much do they use?" D.J. Cochrane, Director of Education, said that each school's budget is based on a West Wawanosh' lets gravel tender, West Wawanosh township council awarded the tender for the supply of gravel for the township this year to Joe Kerr Limited of Wingham at de April meeting held April 2. The contract calls for the crushing and delivering of 12,000 cubic yards of gravels at $1.25 per cubic yard and the stock piling of 500 cu. yards at 80 cents a yard. In other business, the council decided to purchase a blanket bond to cover all employees when it reviewed its insurance with Frank Cowan Insurance Company. Engineer James Howes was to be contacted in regards to preparing a survey for drainage after a petition was received by Harold Gaunt. A letter was to be written to A.M. Harper inquiring about the cost of auditing the township's books this year. James Devereaux, who has served a six-month probationary term as superin- tendent of the waste disposal site, was accepted as the permanent superin- tendent, The next meeting of council will be May 2. formula which guarantees that each school is treated fairly. "Are some schools spending more than others?" Mr. Henderson asked. E. Caylcy Hill, Chairman of the Board asked the board. members whether they would accept the paper on a county -wide basis or if they wanted it exploded on a school to school basis. Mr. Henderson said if the trustees could have the information on each school then they could figure it out themselves. Mr. Dunlop said the information was on large spread sheets which would have to be re -typed in order to make copies and it would require hiring another person to carry out so much extra work. ' Mrs. Marion Zinn of R.R. 2, Lucknow, made a motion that if any individual board member wanted to see the files that. they be permitted and then this would be sufficient and the files would not have to be re -produced. Herbert Turkheim of Zurich said a motion was not needed since board files are open to trustees and it would not be necessary to reproduce them. Mr. Henderson asked if equipment was being kept up in the schools and if replacements were being made, such as typewriters. Mr. Cochrane replied that since the Board was within .3 per cent of the budget last year "we must have spent all we could." Mr. Henderson said that the teachers knew more than board members about getting equipment, and he felt that when he was asked why a certain thing was not available he should know the answer, without having to bother the Board office for that information. Mr. Henderson voiced his concern as to whether all students were getting their fair share of field trips and mrs. Mollie Kunder of Seaforth said this was one area she was concerned about. Mr. Hill suggested that when the budget report is presented that a report be made on budgetry allowances for field trips and that a generalized report be made on the board's ability to keep up with expendit- ures. Mr, Henderson asked that whent he budget is presented Monday that the CONTINUED ON PAGE 20 VOLUME 84 • NO. 15 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1974. Fight against Ontario Hydro already saving farm land The fight against Ontario Hydro's gobbling up of land for use in a power corridor from Douglas Point to Seaforth has saved some farmland already, a spokes- man for the farmers involved said Thursday night. George Underwood of Wingham, one of the leaders of the fight told members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture at their April meeting in Kingsbridge that Ontario Hydro is now negotiating for a 490 foot wide strip in areas in Bruce county where it originally sought '900 feet. Mr. Underwood said that if this change was reflected along the length of the line, it would mean a saving of 796 acres of farmland. At the same meeting, the Federation, which has been instrumental in fighting Hydro over the issue of loss of farmland around the power line, unanimously supported a resolution opposing the building of any electrical generating station by Ontario Hydro in Huron county. Mr. Underwood warned at the meeting that a power plant built in south Huron would mean two or three more power lines being built through Huron farmland. He said future power plants should be built near the point of need, Concern was also expressed at the meeting about the future of local television stations with the encroachment of cable television into area towns and villages. It was pointed out by various spokesmen that cable television was never likely to serve farms and therefore, if the cable companies cause the local stations to go out of business, farmers will suffer. Drafting of a resolution was put off until further research into the subject could be undertaken. A resolution was passed at the meeting calling on the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to research and provide information for the consumer groups of Canada so they can better understand the farmer's position in the pricing of food. Several speakers on the subject doubted this would have a desired effect on consumer association comment, but they agreed that it was a good idea to give the associations a chance to sec the farmer's side of the situation. .Forgotten Hullett village comes back to life The long lost village of Alma is about to reappear. The village, located in the southern part of Hullett township east of Clinton on Highway 4 came under discussion in a special meeting of Hullett township council held March 27. Attending the meeting was Don Watson who owns the land on which Alma sits. After discussion, it was agreed that the council would open up Edward and Byers streets in the village of Alma for a distance of 170 feet and issue a building permit to Mr. Watson to build a house on lots 72-73-74 in the village. Other building permits were issued to County plan explained at meeting East Wawanosh township farmers were told about the procedure in planning for their township at the annual meeting of the East Wawanosh Federation of Agriculture held in Westfield last Wednesday night. Nick Hill of the Huron County planning department was the guest speaker at the meeting and explained the history of the county plan and told the steps that will be taken in the preparation of the secondary plan which will include the details of land -use planning in the township. He explained that soil capabilities and terrain will be taken into account in designing land for farmland or recreational uses. He said the plan for East Wawanosh was going to be one of the most challenging plans in the county because of the competing land uses involved. Eldon Cook was re-elected as president of the Federation at the meeting and Robert Charter was named vice-president. Simon Hallahan was named again as the secretary -treasurer. Tfie dinner meeting was attended by about 60 persons. david Livingstone and Joe Gibson at the same meeting. The council also rescinded the motion accepting the Beane drain report and referred it back to the engineer for reconsideration. At the regular meeting of council held April 1, building permits were issued to Terry Taylor for a pole barn and Tom Duizer for a house. A severance was granted to Len Bakelaar on Lot 4, the Maitland block. A tile drain loan application was accepted for Bert Havenkamp. There were three tenders for the open part of the Medd Drain with the tender of Nicholson Drainage accepted. The tender of Posthill Drainage was accepted for the closed part of the drain and the open portion of the Kennedy Drain is to be constructed by Radford Construction of Blyth. Hugh Flynn and Charles Scanlon were appointed to attend the meeting of the swimming pool committee in Blyth. Rev.

There arc a lot of hiking trails with hostels for sleeping and cooking meals in. We have sleeping bags and my back pack weighs about 35 lbs. when we start out, 1 make sure we Our first day on the trail we hiked nine miles up to the first hotl through a dense forest, there are lots of ferns everywhere and plenty of waterfalls. There are all ages on the trails, many gave us there home addresses and want us to look them up. There were some very scarcy swinging bridges across the rivers - even by the 12th one i stili hadn't got used to them. One day we covered 10 miles through a moss -covered forest with lots of waterfalls, (like an enchanted forest). The hut was on a summit and we could see the ocean 12 miles away. There were a few forestry fellows there and we watched a helicopter deliver their supplies. The next day we were beside the ocean and had a dip in salt water, Queenstown is one of the most picturesque cities, by Lake Wakatipue and surrounded by the Remarkable Mountains. We took a three hour cruise on the Lake then hiked up the mountain.to the Summit Restaurant. There is a goldola up but we walked so we could enjoy a lovely smorgasbord Later we hiked to Kingston where we went on the "Kingston Flyer" a real old beauty of a train. The locomotive dates back to 1900 - 1925 and has been restored to immaculate condition. The old steam ingine just shone, old style gas lamps still hung from the ceiling. Plus the scenery was truly magnificent of the mountains, sheep farms and the rivers. The next day we went to the Forest Rangers headquarters to , enquire about hiking the Milford Track, $14.00 each they were charging. It is supposed to be the most beautiful walk in the world, but we didn't know it was that commercialized. They don't allow any camping on the 33 mile track. So we decided to hike the Routcburn Track instead. The bus dropped us off at the start of the Track. The first hut was very full of hikers, but most were just finishing. The hut was bcisde Lake Howden nestled in the mountains. We climbed up, up, up to Key Summit where we got a beautiful view, a little blue green lake high up in a mountain valley across from us, even a few glaciers on distant mountains. The bush going up was moss - covered tres, ferns with lots of little birds flying around. The trail is in Fiordland National Park, one of the World's largest parks, over three million acres. There are three main types of deer in the park: (1), axis deer which arc very rare; (2), red deer which have reached pest propor- tions in many areas and are hunted by helicopter; (3), the wapiti which is similar to the red deer but larger. This herd originated from the 18 animals presented to N.Z. by 'Theodore Roosevelt in 1905. There.ure over 200 miles of walking trails in the park with hostels and salmon and trout are 'abundant in the lakes. The moss is like a foot -deep carpet in varying shades of green. The next hostel was a new one, really, nice, even mattresses on the beds. The Kea parrots added a bit of interest by running up the roof, then sliding down; awaken- ing everyone in the early hours. There were Germans, a Nor- wegian, Swiss, Americans, Aus- sies and even Canucks, There are hardly any New Zealanders. At the end of the trail we got a ride in an old open-air bus with Harry the 1908 driver, The best bus drive ,we have ever had, Harry stopped to show us all the birds and scenic views, We also wnt for a boat ride on; Milford Sound, some of the. mountain walls stretch for over a mile up, over 1,000 ft. down below the water, Therefore there is no anchorage within a few feet of the waters edge, Waterfalls plunged down the sheer walls of rock for 600 feet or'more. Milford Sound was created during a great ice age, when glaciers cut these vast canyons, We went back to Queenstown and went job hunting the next day. You must can't imagine all the jobs available but no accomodation. Now brace your- selves to hear of our jobs. Hugh is a kitchen hand and i am a housemaid with 14 rooms to do each day in this Ramada Inn. We have our own room and get our meals here, but may not stay long. The turn over of staff is unbelievable, Most stay a week to three weeks. Most are young people on working holidays. We arc allowed to have very good food, steaks, etc, Lots and lots of Canadians are around, about half the working people. We even met a couple from Pincher Creek, Alberta on a Farm Tour. All we meet here are tourists, but we 'want to meet the New Zealand- ers, called Kiwis, When we first came to New Zealand, we heard two Maori Choirs who were practising for the Commonwealth Games and the Queen's visit. Maoris are very beautiful people, always smiling and they fit in very well with the immigrants who have came in over the last 100 years or more.

Blade guards should always be used. On cutting jobs always use a gauge, never try to cut free hand. Wear a heavy apron for protection against kickbacks. Keep the blade as low as you can. There should be no more than three teeth showing above the stock being cut. When you have finished sawing, turn off the switch and then wait until the blade has stopped spinning before you leave.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 10, 1974. Editorials' Will our forethought work?1. Huron County Council has put some pressure on Ontario Hydro to conform with Huron's priorities by insisting that all Hydro land -use changes must be made by amendments to the county's official plan. It's a good move on the County's part, but will it work? County officials admit themselves, that if Ontario Hydro chooses to ignore the wishes of County council, there is little they can do to stop the goliath. Legally, Ontario Hydro, as a government agency, does not has to. That's legally though. Morally is another story. The provincial government spouts statements by the hundreds about the need for orderly planning in the province. Huron County has set a stirling example for others to follow by being the first county in the province to set up an official land -use plan. Huron is the model for other areas across the provinces that want to take similar steps to protect scarce farmland. j The greatest danger to Huron farmland, right now, however, is not urban sprawl, but the ambitious plans of Ontario Hydro to string power lines across the county in several directions and to build a power generating station. Will the province now set a good example by having Ontario Hydro go through regular channels to have zoning changes, or will it allow Ontario Hydro to bully its way past the attempts of Huron County to promote orderly planning? Just as the rest of the province has been watching Huron's lead in planning, it will likely be watching now to sec just whether or not the Ontario government is willing to put its power where its mouth is when it comes to planning. A good decision The decision of Agricultural Minister Eugene Whelan to ban the importation of American beef because it is fed with the growth stimulant D.E.S. was long overdue. Since the United States cancelled the ban on the use of D.E.S. in the United States, Canadian producers have been at a disadvantage in producing beef. The American farmers were allowed to use a product that increased their efficienCy•while Canadian farmers were not, It was also'hypocritical of the Canadian government to protect Canadian consumers from the danger of a drug used by Canadian farmers, but to allow them to be exposed to the same danger from imported. meat. The decision, while perhaps alienating some Americans, in one swoop protects consumers and producers. The interesting thing about the move has been the reaction of the public and the media, There has been far more concern so far about the possibility the price of meat may go up a little than there has been about the fact that lives may be saved by eliminating the danger of D.E.S. in the meat people eat. Surely it says something about the warped sense of values of the Canadian consumer these days. Canadian rehabilitation Everyone agrees that Canadian prisons do not reform nor do they rehabilitate. Those who do benefit from the present system are judges. lawyers, wardens, guards, civil servants working in the departments of correction, the police and the plethora of social workers in and out of the jailhouse walls. It is time we quit sending our lawbreakers to a finishing school for criminals which our prisons have proven themselves time and time again to be. Let's keep them in the community. Surely the real function of judges, lawyers and police should be to save people from jail. Maybe we should depend less on the adversary system and experiment, except in cases of violence, with a procedure similar to the one successfully applied in family courts. The only way to teach anyone to behave as a responsible member of the group is to keep him in the group. Supervision for varying periods of time, according to the nature of the crime, would allow a more wholesome adjustment to society than a session behind bars. Such a scheme would make greater demands on the community and could not .succeed without the support and help of all citizens and institutions. It is time to recognize that the wrongdoer has needs which are not being met. Rather than jail...which tends to worsen his maladjustment...he needs to feel that he is respected. He should be forced to take a trade for which he is suited, given psychiatric help where it is warranted, and guided to a more interesting and rewarding life. Society wants to be protected against violence. But the truly violent make u d only a fraction of those serving jail sentences. The really dangerous ones could be held in about two good sized prisons...one in the east and one in the west. Highly trained professionals could staff these institutions where inmates would stay for as long as it takes for them to change. Let's keep our problem people at home with their families. Let's help then to work out their problems just as Children's Aid Societies help families with their problems. Let's see that we provide creative work for them to do so that they can pay taxes and generally become good citizens. With supportive help they will realize that it is easier to conform than to swim against the current. The medieval system of jails has failed. So let's try something'else. -Contributed. standard KEITH & JiLL ROULSTON Co•Publishers Published every Wednesday at Queen St., Blyth, Ontario.

What others say Speculation and farm land Another report has been issued with recommendations about rural land use in Ontario. Last week the Kowal Report said that farm land in our province is rapidly disappearing and made some suggestions to deal with the problem. Farmers are in a bind when it comes to preserving farm land. Agricultural land when sold for non-agricultural uses, for shopping centres or housing developments (not when the government or Hydro expropriates it for use as an airport or to house hydro towers) brings a lot of money. Farmers have looked on their property as a nest egg for retirement, giving them more security than selling a farm for use as a farm could ever hope to bring. (Town and city dwellers can take advantage of rising land values and housing costs and speculate in property but farmers are not supposed to. But that is another editorial). Under planning regulations in force in many areas, Huron County for example, land cannot be sold lot by lot for non-agricultural development because policy discourages severancing lots from farms for urban type development. 'Phis is common sense because it prevents helter skclter development with resulting in- creased costs to the municipality to provide services. At the same time, there is no check at present on speculators who buy up whole farms and just let them sit, waiting for the clay when the farm land can be zoned recreational or residential and the whole kattoodte sold at a great profit. So far very little farm land in Huron County has been taken out of• production entirely •• possibly because the land is too good and we are too far from urban centres to make buying 100 and 200 acre plots for development more than a pipe dream. But if this part of Ontario ever becomes the green -belt recreational arca for the urban centres to the east and south of tis that the Ontario government's master plan envisions, the possibility of speculators moving in and holding land for recreatioin areas is not too remote. Preserving farm land is ultimately of importance to all of us who eat. The Kowal Report suggests that land planning power be given to the Ontario minister of agriculture and that he be given the power to veto expressways, subdivis- ions and any commercial and industrial development that would affect farm land. The committee also wants an inventory of all rural land in the province. Land would be classified as agricultural, agricultural - residential, rural -residential, rural recrea- tional and rural-speculative—the first used mainly for farming and the last non-productive farm land being held for profit. The Report wants some penalties against speculation in valuable farm land which is good, even though it may effect some farmers who have hoped to sell their land to speculators. The Ontario government does not seem to be paying a good deal oi' attention to the Kowal Report. Perhaps the provincial government thinks it is too unrealistic to give all power on development in rural areas to the Agricultural minister. Perhaps existing mechanisms which are available in counties like Huron where a planning board has to review any and all land use proposals within the county is the best ultimate protection for our farm land. The mechanics are already there --- Huron's planning director Gary Davidson says Ontario Hydro will have to snake application to the planning board, just like anyone else, if the corporation is serious about building a nuclear reactor near Goderich. And that is a land use that is about as far away from using farm land to grow food as you can get. -Huron Expositor. This week from Ottawa ENERGY AGREEMENT Prime Minister Trudeau and Canada's provincial premiers reached a 12 -month agreement establishing a single national price for domestic 'and imported oil. The Prime Minister and the provincial leaders•agreed •to increase the price of Western Canadian crude oil to $6.50 from $4.00 a barrel *the federal government will continue to subsidize oil prices to consumers in Quebec and the Atlantic Provinces. The increase in the price of crude oil to $6.50 a barrel is still about $4.00 below the world price. Following the agreement, Prime Minister 'Trudcau told a • press conference that "it couldn't be a better day for federalism," BILINGUALISM PROGRAM Secretary of State Hugh Faulk- ner announced a five-year renew- al of the federal -provincial pro- gram. on bilingualism in educa- tion. The aim of the program is to ensure that parents of either official language have the oppor• tunny to educate their children in their own language and to enable students to learn the other official language and to enable students to learn the other official language as a second language. Some $70 million will be spent on the program annually. LIBERALS RE-ELECTED The Liberal Government of Premier Gerald Regan was swept back to power in Nova Scotia's general election.

IHURON•BRUCEI This week the Minister of Education om Wells announced that the 7,9 per cent ,I cnRling ceilings applicable for 1974 have hi•cn raised a further 2.6 per cent making Ow Molal increase in 1974 ceilings over 1973 •I'I'ru.\imatcly 10.5 per cent. the revised 1974 ceilings are $704 per Hilmar). school pupil up 11.75 per cent er 1971 and $1,231 per secondary pupil, ul' 8.9-1 per cent over 1973. There %vas debate this week in the THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 10, 1974. PG.S. The province Education ceilings lifted by Wells Legislature concerning the price increases to be charged by the oil companies in. response to the increase in the well head price of oil from $4 to $6.S0 per barrel. The Provincial Government was charged with allowing the oil companies to take unwarranted increases. The Federal Government has estimated that the well head price incrcasc will mean a consumer price increase of about eight cents a gallon. Ontario economists figure the increase would be more like 71/2 cents. The federal 'estimates indicate the companies would be entitled to an extra half cent to cover other cost increases. Ontario Solicitor General George Kerr admitted this week that money from U.S. criminal organisations is being sent or brought to Ontario then returned to the U.S, in a "laundered" condition because its sources is then either unknown or respectable. The nation A, rational transportation policy needed Mr. Kerr said that in addition to money from criminal activities, agents in the province, particularly Toronto, receive large amounts from legitimate companies as a means of avoiding U.S. income tax, The • money is held here long enough to qualify as an investment, then returned after the agent has taken his cut, usually 5 or 10 per cent. Lay people will play a substantial role in governing doctors, dentists and other health professionals under new legislation introduced by Health Minister Frank Miller, The proposed Health Disciplines Act would set up a board of 5.7 lay people to review complaints by the public or from members of the professionals who feel themselves treated unjustly. it also provides for lay people to sit on the Councils of the colleges governing the professions. BY PETER THOMSON When Transport Minister Jean Mar- chand observed that Canada's transport- ttti'n systent is in a mess there were many who applauded the minister's frankness ar,(1 practically none who questioned his assessment. The minister's remarks have placed new s,gnilicancc on the Canadian National Railways financing bill which has di 'initiated the attention of Parliament last ••% eek. Hie debate, although not producing any tii;;n1fleant changes in the bill, has clearly identified several areas where fundamental decisions must soon be taken. The simple purpose of the legislation is it, provide a government guarantee for ,125 million in debentures to finance . crtain capital projects by the CNR and by sir Canada. The hill will probably pass unchanged. - But lie debate is a good one. Some trcmcly fundamental points are being -disc(' by some members of Parliament hn have done their homework. Don Blenkarn (PC•Mississauga) is one of :low MI's.. An adviser to businesses on .ixalirnr and other financial matters in :nri' arc life, Mr. Blenkarn can examine irtuicutl umplications of investments by he t''VR and by Air Canada with a much mer. ,ompetcnt eye than most politicians, His weakness, and it is a matter of opinion as to whether it is a weakness, is :hal Mr. Blenkarn does not always work social aspect of an investment into his financial equations • and both the CNR and .lir Canada arc, after all, publicly -owned corporations whose purpose goes much farther than returning a profit. Nevertheless,' Mr, Blenkarn raised several excellent points. For example, he questioned the CNR's involvement in the hotel business, Five hotels managed by the CNR have a book value of some $43 million and in 1972 generated a profit of $400,000 or a return of Tess than one per cent on capital invested. Furthermore, that book value is arrived at using original cost figures. Therefore, prime property in the heart of some of Canada's major cities is carried at the cost of acquisition - in some cases $10 or $15 an acre. If that property were given a realistic present day value on the books the profit generated from hotels operated by the CNR would be much less than one per cent of capital invested. Furthermore, railway hotels always have been losers. There is no reason to believe they will suddenly become winners. Mr. Blenkarn documented his case with example after example. He concludes that investment in hotels is a poor investment for the people of Canada and, unsuccess- fully, sought to delete from the financing bill an additional $5 million for investment in the hotel business. The point is that although hotels may at one time have been an important adjunct to railway passenger service, that is no longer the case. CNR hotels do not provide any .benefit to the low income people of Canada, therefore as social capital the investment is a waste. 'i'hc main point, however, is that while senior executives of the railway obviously must devote some of their time and attention to the hotel end of the taxpayers' investment, they arc not doing a job in keeping tracks in good order and goods moving. That shortcoming, in the end of the business that is important to Canadians, is probably costing the taxpayers more than a billion this year in lost wheat sales, in lost lumber sales, in construction disruptions because materials are not delivered on time. Mr. Blenkarn uses the sane argument to question the advisability of CNR participa- tion in Toronto's huge communications tower - an investment which, by the best of CNR figures, will produce a return of investment substantially less than could be obtained by purchasing government bonds. Mr. Blenkarn refers• to the tower as "economic idiocy." 'I am sure the tower will be a fine, a marvellous place...but really, there is a place for the use of social capital. We have a housing problem, we need more serviced land. We have a transportation problem. We need more boxcars and a rationaliza- lion of our transportation system. But do we need to use public money to build what arc clearly speculative ventures. that have nothing to do with transportation, and are just for the glory of the directors of the Canadian National?" asked Mr. Blenkarn. It %vas a good question, On the subject of rail transportation problems there is probably no more knowledgeable MP than Jack Horner (PC -Crowfoot). Mr. Horner is a 16 -year veteran of the Commons and he has spent much of that time gaining a thorough knowledge of the fundamental faults of the system, as well as many of the little hitches that cause costly delays in moving goods - such as the need to break trains into four sections before unloading their wheat rather than having the available trackage to avoid the breaking. Seven years ago he practically fought a one -pian battle, in his own party caucas and then in the Commons, against the principle of setting freight rates on the basis of competitive prices with other modes of transportation. Now, Mr. Marchand has conceded the system adopted at that time has not worked, The point is that Mr, Horner deserves to be listened to when he talks about transportation problems, Obviously his peers appreciate his expertise and his fairness. They have twice made him chairman of the Commons transport committee. Mr. Horner warns that the question of branch line abandonment will have to be looked into because the moratorium on abandonment ends this year, - He warns that the government's promise to consider buying 4,000 more hopper cars for wheat movement has to be related to the capability of trackage to carry the heavier load. "The real problem lies with the trackage in Canada because it will not stand the load • and the greater the load the slower the speed," he notes, The world Times tough forIndia's'Maharajahs BY JACK CAHILL Things are tough all over in India these days - even for the Ramjata of Jind who recently had to sack 300 servants and swap her Rolls-Royce for an old De Soto station wagon. "Hardship is a comparative thing," explained the Ramjata. "If you are used to living in a palace and have to come down to a place like this it can be difficult." The Ramjata is brown -eyed, 47 and beautiful. She now lives in a white mansion surrounded by broad green lawns and gardens in one of the best areas of New Delhi. "I cried when I came here," she said, "I lidn't think I could stand living so close to 'ther people." The Ramjata of Jind married the laharajah, who was her uncle, when she was 14, thus making her grandfather her father-in-law, and she lived happily in several palaces, with seven personal maids, especially after the Maharajah's first wife, whom she had to honor and obey, died. Now, however, with the Maharajah also dead and Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's socittlist government anxious to wipe all inherited social and economic inequalities off• the face of India, the Ramjata finds herself in her current circumstances with only three turbaned old retainers, Indian whisky instead of scotch, and a wardrobe of expensive saris that are getting frayed at the edges. Although there are overseas rumors that some of the 670 mostly wealthy princes and their families who used to have power of life and death over millions of people in • India are now on welfare, the Ramjata of Jind is more typical of the current state of their downfall, The Ramjata, in fact, like many of the members of the princely families, has been able to sell off most of the family's precious possessions, and now holds a few shares in a hotel business. In any event, there is no welfare system for her or the other princes and princesses or any other Indian. Several former maharajahs, however, now live in modest $12•a -month apart- ments on Delhi's South Ave. and ride to their work as poorly paid members of Parliament on bicycles. The Maharajah of Bangalore, who used to receive more than $200,000 a year from the government as a "privy purse" and spend most of it on upkeep of his three The first six parts of the Act cover •medicine, dentistry, nursing, optometry and pharmacy, The Act would replace existing legislation such as the Medical Act, Still with health services, Health Minister Frank Miller tabled the Mustard Report which recommends the setting of quotas to limit the number of doctors practicing in different areas of Ontario and which is likely'to be one of the most contentious recommendations of the report. Ontario has one of the most favourable doctor -patient ratios in the Western world, one doctor for every 586 people, but doctors are poorly distributed, the report noted. In other words, one doesn't gain much by doubling the load if the speed has to be halved. 'there were other excellent points raised in the debate this week. Should Air Canada be getting into the air charter business, at a cost of purchasing a minority interest in Wardair at a price Mr. Blenkarn considers excessive? Should Air Canada be launching itself into the aerospace industry, and thus restricting itself on the type of aircraft it will be able to purchase in the future? It might be good politics, but it is a disservice to the country to blandly discount the legitntate criticisms being raised about the CNR and Air Canada. Transportation is so fundamentally important to this nation that it should be removed as far as possible from the realm of petty politics. Transportation is so important to Canada that it certainly should be removed, as far as is possible from Ottawa bureaucrats who are too far removed from the realities of life • who don't realize that 80 -ton hopper cars will buckle the tracks unless speed is greatly reduced. Perhaps, in evolving a new transporta- tion policy, someone should look at Senator Arthur Laing's suggestion that a line of straight tracks, solidly based, be laid from the Prairies to B.C. ports to remove, for once and for all, the tie•ups that cost untold millions in demurrage charges as ships wait, often 20 at a time, to load wheat in Vancouver. The question of a rationalized transport- ation policy is too important to this country to be used as a political weapon, as a vehicle for bureaucratic empire building, or as a method of executive self-aggran- dizement. Wouldn't it be interesting if Mr. Marchand were relieved of his present duties for the greater purpose of co-cliairing with someone like Mr. Horner, a committee charged with the responsibil- ity of devising a rational transportation policy for Canada? The Montreal Star palaces, his servants, his subjects and a fleet of 15 cars, says he is now living off the sale of the family crockery and cutlery and ' should be able to do so for another five years. Without his privy purse, which was non-taxable, he's in a position where he can't afford to sell his palaces because of capital gain and wealth taxes, On the other hand, he can't afford to keep them either because of maintenance costs and property taxes. The Maharajah of Mysore, who used to receive the biggest privy purse of all - about $262,000 a year - and used much of it to pay more than 1,000 servants and provide free education and old -age pensions for his subjects, now describes CONTINUED ON PAGE 20 PG.6.

FRED H. CARSON Throughout history man has been able to witness to the supreme love of God • Him who is total Love • but inspite of this fantastic love the creature has often ignored the appeals of the creator to partake of it. God has demonstrated His Love for us in the miraculous event of creation when He made each of us in His own image and in our own unique manner, No two humans are exactly alike - each of us has been made with the love that demands that we be different and have inherent characteristics peculiar unto ourselves. More than this, however, man was created in the image of God possessing the Divine qualities of the Creator • qualities that permit us to experience total love and perfect righteousness, Since God is the possessor of good, man kncw only that which assured Him of being in perfect harmony with the Father. But man wasn't content with this: he fell into temptation and was tricked into eating the fruit of the tree of good and evil on the pretense of becoming equal with God. Thus, man turned away from the Almighty and began living in separation from Him as he headed more and more into evil with Satan taking the lead, God was sorrowful at this occurence and He made every attempt to reach out to man but man continued to listen to Satan and therefore, moved even further from the Creator. However, in one last attempt to reconcile man to himself, God made the only true, perfect, worthy, and eternal sacrifice and this He did in the person of Jesus Christ, His Only Son. This is the Love of God in action. This week is known as Passiontide and during this week we place our emphasis on the event of the Cross. And as we concentrate on the Cross of Christ, we are witnesses to the love that sacrificed "The Lamb 1 of God", In the Cross, we perceive victory, purpose, peace and power. 1 The Cross is symbolic of God's wonderful and eternal love for us - individually and corporately - as He continues to extend His arms that He might embrace us as His children - welcoming our return to His Body and His Family.

MAKE FARMING A SAFE LIFE Farm safety specialists predict that one Ontario Farmer in 1,500 will die in 1974 as a result of farm accidents, Don Brown, general manager of the Farm Safety Association, says that a total safety program, • covering machinery, personal protective equipment and the elimination of unsafe practices, should become 'second nature' to farmers and their employees. Keeping machinery in good working order can prevent frustrating breakdowns that always seem to occur at critical periods. By making the necessary repairs now, before spring planting gets under way, you won't have to chances with safety. Consider seriously the addition of a crushproof cab or roll -bar and seatblet on your tractors and self-propelled machinery. Factory -tested for effectiveness, these safety devices protect an operator and prevent serious, even fatal, accidents. Making your farm a safe place to work also means using the protective equipment designed for high-risk industry. Hard hats, safety glasses, safety boots, gloves, and noise -reducing earmuffs should be part of every farmer's equipment. First-aid training courses arc also available. You might never need it; but it's good to know what to do if an accident happens. While hazards are everywhere in the farming industry, it is up to the individual farmer to take the necessary safety precautions and to make sure his employees follow his example. Farming is a way of life. Make it a safe one. Agricultural tidbits' What is progress? WITH ADRIAN VOS A •tradition has been broken. For 40 years the meat packers council of Canada has had beef in their annual meeting menu. This year they switched to. pork. They will be eating the already famous Canadian Redcoat. ***** What is progress? The diction- ary says: to move forward or to improve. In the context of the unofficially announced nuclear plant a small town official is quoted as saying that the building of this thing is progress. However this depends on the angle one is looking from. If it means going forward in produc- ing electricity it's progress. If it it's the production of food it's a regression. If it's looked upon as a possible health hazard it's a regression. Some people equate progress with industrialization. But in terms of pollution it's a regression. Now the people have to make up their minds which type of progress they want. Is it more food production or is fl more people in a given area? Think about it and make up your mind, for the decision will have to be taken soon. Do you want Huron county to be a main source of electricity for the rest of the Falls great province and the U.S.A. or do you want Huron county to remain rural? You, the people, will have to decide what kind of progress you want. ***** Livestock producers are in trouble. Notwithstanding the beef subsidy of five per cent, beef feeders are losing money on every cattle beast they sell. This doesn't mean that the lower returns are completely passed on to the consumer, as every price - conscious shopper will tell you. The pork producer is also losing money on every finished porker he sells..The only thing that keeps pork production going is that the supplier of little pigs to the feeder still makes a good profit. As long as the feeder pays him a good price he would be foolish to cut back his farrowings. And each pig born and surviving will eventually reach market, keeping up the over supply. The only solution is to sell more meats. Otherwise the price will go even lower, the production will be cut back and the price sky -rockets again. Thus in time of oversupply the producer loses, in time of shortage and high prices the producer hasn't got enough to sell. cause of accidental death Next to automobile accidents, falls are the greatest cause of accidental deaths. To prevent slips and falls at work, focus on floor safety. St. John Ambulance advises that plant floors be checked as part of your regular safety survey. When you conduct the survey ask yourself the following life-saving questions. Do the floors offer good traction for workers? Are the floors clean and free of grease, oils, chemicals and water? Are the floors free of dirt buildups and bumps which could cause tripping? Is the floor free of broken and cratered areas that need resurfacing? THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 10, 1974. PG.7.

Laundry area step -saver IIOME LAUNDRY IS MOVING UP in the world — this second floor center features a G.E. automatic washer and dryer, Automatic washers and dryers have been developed to a point where doing the laundry is simply a matter of set 'n forget. Although the actual washing or drying of clothes is now a simple process, the chore of bringing soiled articles to the laundry and then returning them to storage still remains. Laundry chutes and first - floor laundry rooms are step -savers in the right di- rection, but more so is the General Electric laundry center incorporated into the design of Centennial House, a prototype home constructed by Kohler Co. in collaboration with Better Homes and Gardens maga- zine, The laundry center in Centennial House is located on the second floor balcony within a few steps of .the home's three bedrooms. The reason for this inno- vative design is simple an?:1 practical: the bulk of• laun- dry articles — sheets and pillowcases and soiled clothes — come from the bedrooms, and what better way to save steps for the homemaker than putting her laundry center as close as possible to the primary source of soiled articles, Country style furniture popular Americana designs and country styling are much in evidence in home furnish- ings, particularly in bed- room and dining furniture. Beds with decorated head and foot -board, old-fash- ioned mirrors, unique ward- robe -dressers, and other pieces contribute to the country look in a bedroom. Such furniture is offered in plinth or sculptured bases and with brass pulls accent- ing the antique finishes, Many decorators prefer more than furniture to give a home country -style flavor, Genuine antiques, weath- ered -looking reproductions and old firearms lend a hand toward giving a room or house that rustic Ameri- cana look, Ample room is also avail- able within the .laundry center for linen storage and ironing equipment, and the entire arca is concealed be- hind folding doors when not in use. THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 10, 1974. PG.11, Good water turns everyone on Many people blame pol- lution for the fact that "water doesn't taste as good as it used to," Others think we've become more critical of the water we drink, and expect more. Whatever the reason, all of them share the same deep longing for the un- matched refreshment of a drink of cool, clear, good- tasting water. This secret yearning for water that's better than what flows from the tap was revealed in recent test - marketing of an unusual home water conditioner. Better water It's unusual because in addition to producing water that's better for laundering, dishwashing, and personal grooming, it also produces water that's markedly su- perior for drinking, The test was in the taste. Wherever the new unit, called Filter -Soft, was in- troduced, sales jumped, De- signed by Culligan engi- neers, it incorporates an unique carbon filtration system which • eliminates sediment, bad tastes and odors. It makes people hap- py to drink water again, During the months of May, June, July, August and September we will install tower aerials and rotators at no labour charge.

This is Heritage by Leigh Products, a pre -finished steel bi-fold with deep embossed panels, installed by an average handyman -homeowner for under $50. Modern bi-fold doors boost available space Doors which must open full width into a room, and sliding doors which restrict access to half the area at a time are two of homeown- ers' most familiar com- plaints about closets. With modern bi-folds, these and many other an- noyances common to con- ventional doors are elimi- nated. And when the bi- folds are of steel, such as the Full -Vu styles made by Leigh Products, their bene- fits become even more im- pressive. Bi -folds actually add to a room's usable living area because they decrease by half the floor space needed when fully open, a feature which also allows for prac- tically unrestricted place- ment of furniture. When made of steel, they won't warp or stick, fre- quent problems with wood construction, nor will they produce the vibration and rattle which usually accom- panies the opening and closing of bi-folds made of light synthetic materials. While bi-fold steel doors are becoming almost stand- ard closet equipment in new houses, don't overlook their opportunities for improve- ment of your present home, either in adding new stor- age spaces or remodeling existing ones, Leigh bi-folds cone com- pletely pre -finished and' offer significant cost sav- ings without sacrifice of quality or design. They are easily installed with a pat- ented balanced suspension system, and quickly adjust- ed for continual smooth operation. Their Williams- burg white enamel finish is fine for use "as is," or to serve as a base for your own color. A wide choice of types and designs permits you to readily meet your own par- ticular decorating needs. Leigh bi-folds are available at from about $20 to $50 through building supply dealers and home improve- ment centers in nine dis- tinctive models. Included are three em- bossed panel styles, flush doors, full -louvered, panel - louvered, colonial, provin- cial and mirrored, Six of these models may be had in a new textured leather -like graining that is permanent — a part of the metal itself. Home's safety, security linked to improvements The National Horne Im- provement Council lain - tains that some home im- provements can result in a safer home, Outdoor lighting, for ex- ample, discourages crime at the same time that it can beautify. A number of at- tractive and efficient out- door lighting systems are available, ranging from softly glowing gas lights for poolside and driveway, to the high -watt crime de- terrent systems for illumi- nation that deters prowlers, In addition to improving security, floodlighting gar- dens and walkways will provide 'other rooms' for outside entertainment of family and friends. Ther- mostats automatically turn the lights on and off at designated hours, relieving worries about wasted elec- tricity or gas, most im- portant these days. Some homeowners invest in security systems. Gener- ally smaller than the aver- age stereo component, these units include provision for both fire and burglar alarms tied in with a local central station, When the system detects an intrusion or the beginnings of a fire, it im- mediately relays a signal to • the station from which se- curity personnel notify pol- ice or fire departments. The system is prevented from disrupting normal family activity by a per- sonal code tapped out on a series of keys, Another more elaborate system ac- tually senses the presence of intruders by means of ultrasonic waves, Ready -to -assemble furniture solves storage shortage woe Why are there more eta- geres sold today than ever before? And what's an eta- gere anyway? It's merely a fancy way of saying free-standing shelves and that makes its popularity obvious: so few new homes and apartments have anything built-in these days, Shelves that are useful and decorative at the same time are a natural, either for newlyweds starting fur- nishing from scratch or for long -marrieds with more possessions than storage space. But when priorities of the budget put a squeeze on all but basic necessities for seating, eating and sleeping, it is a shame to relegate the favorite books brought from the family home, the dis- playable wedding gifts or cherished collections to dusty cartons in the closet. Especially when a really handsome piece of furniture can be had the brand new way — ready - to - assemble — and therefore at a re- markably low cost. Besides, it is something that will add a couple's own personality to their new home. The furniture comes in a neat package that you can take right out of the store — no wait for deliveries — and put together yourself. Because you supply the hid- den ingredient—labor—you save substantial amounts of money. For people who enjoy do- ing it themselves, it's a cinch, But even the all - thumbs type shouldn't be turned off by the do-it- yourself , aspects. The leading manufactur- er in this field, JS/Perma- neer, has made it so easy to put together their furni- ture that even kids do it. All that's required is a screwdriver. Moreover, the furniture has many assets, Not least among these is that it has fashion appeal. There is a DRAMATIC CHROME ANI) PECAN 72" high bookcase from JS/Permnneer can stand alone or be attached with its pecan vinyl veneer connector strip to one or more identical units for a sturdy furniture look rarely found in ready -to -assemble pieces. Each 29" wide unit features three sliding bottom doors for hidden storage and decorator inspired chrome strips run- ning down the entire front face of the panels. Units retail for approximately $49.95 each. wide range of handsome styles from sleek modern in the firm's acclaimed "chrome and pecan" collec- tion to transitional and tra- ditional themes. Function is as important and as carefully considered as the facades which are elegant and substantial enough for the most fastid- ious home, Of particular interest is the "mix — match — inter- change" aspect of the units in each design group. The components can be com- bined in many ways to fill your individual needs, whether you want only open shelves or a combination with closed cabinets and a drop -lid desk/bar section. The furniture is virtually carefree, Made of particle- board laminated with vinyl veneer, it's moisture and scratch resistant and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. All in all, it has much to recommend it, 5 Brighten up your spring with fresh wallpaper and brilliant CIL paints.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 10, 1974, Time to remodel . . . think about new roof in improvement plans Remodeling time is often reroofing time, Reroofing is a matter of both protection and aes- thetics, Replacing a leaky roof will safeguard the improvements inside the home, Even if the existing roof is sound, many home- owners choose to include a new roof in their moderni- zation plans, When plans include a room addition, it is often difficult to match the color of the new roof with that of the old — especially if the old one is faded. And even without a room addi- tion, many homeowners feel their remodeling projects are not complete without a new roof, One of the most effective steps a homeowner can take to beautify his home is to select one of the many new and colorful textured roof coverings available today. Asphalt shingles, for ex- ample, are available in a wide variety of designs and textures — with or without cutouts and with random embossing and staggered buttlines, Others are double- or triple -laminated for thicker mass and a random appear- ance. Asphalt shingles are also available in new earth - tone hues as well as a wide. variety of "standard" colors, To determine whether the roof on your home is near- ing the end of its useful life, take a few minutes to check its condition. Check the base of downspouts for signs of excessive granule loss. Asphalt shingles that have lost most of their protec- tive granules will soon lose their weather resistance. Examine the condition of the shingles; this can be done from the ground, with the help of field glasses. Faded, curled, cracked or blistered shingles are signs of old age, Use a flashlight to inspect the attic for signs of water leaks, Missing shingles caused by wind or tree damage usually can be repaired. The only answer for weath- ered shingles is a new roof. Reroofing with asphalt shingles can usually be ac- complished over existing asphalt or wood shingles, without having to tear off the original roof. Occasion- ally, however, the existing roof must be removed. In the selection of a new roof covering, keep in mind that it is usually more eco- nomical on an annual cost - of -use basis to choose a premium -quality asphalt shingle roof designed to last 25 years than the standard shingle with a life • expec- tancy of 15 years. The cost of labor is about the same for application of both shingles, but the higher cost of the premium -quality shingle can be amortized over its longer life span, Unless you are an ex- perienced mechanic, leave the reroofing job to a quali- fied roofer. Working from a ladder or on a roof can be very hazardous. To obtain a new 20 -page roofing booklet prepared es- pecially for homeowners, send 30 cents to SR&A, Box 3202, Grand Central Station, New York, N.Y. 10017. A NEW ROOF OF PREMIUM -QUALITY asphalt shingles — like the eye -appealing beauty shown here — can be a high - point of home improvement. The "new breed" of shingles, available in a wide variety of dramatic designs, bold textures and rich colors, is designed to provide up to 25 years' service with only minimal maintenance. Vinyl siding freshens home, gives exterior clean look Give the exterior of your home a whole new fresh look that will give you greater home comfort and protection, plus the full satisfaction of having one of the most attractive homes in your neighbor- hood, Starting where it counts, on the exterior, you'll be protecting your valued in- side walls and furnishings from unsightly damage, be- sides giving your exterior a new permanent clean look, The exterior sidewall cover of your home has a. number of purposes. It must first provide you the needed protection against the damaging ef- fects of nature's elements, It should guard you against water entering your home either from wind -driven rains or from melting snow or ice, and prevent moisture seepage. Insulating properties It should also contain insulating properties to re- duce the amount of heat entering your home during the summer, and keep the cold out in the winter. Simi- lar properties for the pur- pose of reducing the out- side noise level should also be inherent in the material. Now, strong popularity is acdorded this new exterior sidewall cover that can perform these tasks and more. It's solid vinyl clap- board and vertical styled sidings, For appearance, it creates handsome architec- tural effects especially when in use with other vinyl sid- ing panels and with other natural siding materials, such as stone and brick, Made of the toughest of all plastic compounds,iolid vinyl siding is manufac- tured by Bird & Son, Inc., East Walpole, Mass, It is a triumph of modern technol- ogy, emerging as one of the most beautiful, durable building materials ever dis- covered or invented.

PG.15, Flower center practical room a green thumb Tired of gravel in your lettuce? Or how about fern clippings in the vegetables? Perhaps you need a center in your home exclusively for potting plants and arrang- ing flowers, Where can this center be built? Perhaps an extra closet can be remodeled into a flower center by your building contractor, If you are not one of those people who have an extra closet, plan a flower arrangement area in your laundry room. Efficient laundry Fresh colors, the latest In laundry equipment and proper arrangement of cab- inets and counter space add up to an efficient laundry area that is a joy to work in. A flower center in the same room makes it twice as ef- ficient. To one side of the laundry area, add on extra cabinets and a counter space and perhaps a shelf or two to store containers for flowers and plants. The counter is a much more workable area if you have a stainless steel sink installed. You might like to have a single bowl sink with a tall gooseneck faucet that swings away when not in use, or a double bowl sink. The double bowl sink has an advantage in this area because you can soak out a stain in one bowl while you're using the other bowl for arranging flowers, Some of the sinks fea- tured by Elkay Manufac- turing Company, world's largest manufacturer of stainless steel sinks, will fit into any plan, They all pro- vide a stain -proof area in which to put your green thumb to work. Place near window This flower center is also quite attractive when placed in front of a window. You need not obstruct light or view, if glass shelves are used in front of the area for displaying plants, • An attractive cabinet to match the furnishings in the room would serve well as the base of the unit. And of course a stainless steel sink can be easily dropped in the top of your cabinet by your building contractor, Butcher block look in The butcher block look, a fashion favorite in the home since moving from the kitchen to the living room and den, can also serve as a theme for the bedroom. Furnishings such as desks, chests, hutches, bookcases, bunk and chest beds, are available finished in the butcher block pattern A-245 8 hp Garden Tractor 246 complete with 34" Mower Attachment B-247 8 hp Deluxe Garden Tractor 248 complete with 38" Mower Attachment 249 8 hp Garden Tractor Recoil Start complete with 34" Mower Attachment — Line List C-252 V Shaft Tiller 31/2 hp B & S Recoil Start vertical engine D-253 H Shaft Tiller 4 hp B & S Recoil Start horizontal engine 254 H Shaft Tiller 5 hp B & S Recoil Start horizontal engine — Line List E -251A 5 hp Chain Drive Tiller with reverse — Line List 250 3 hp Chain Drive Tiller with reverse 1 $219.95 rtJ $.PARLIIG'S.

It's also lush landscaping, to accent your home's best features and perhaps de- emphasize others, to pro- vide a degree of privacy and offer shelter from win- ter's cold winds or the sun's hot summer rays. And it's landscaping which beautifies and en- hances your property, while turning every inside -out view into a pastoral master- piece. None of these objectives is easy to attain, but is cer- tainly not beyond reach with careful planning, seri- ous study or expert guid- ance in the selection of plants, and large measures of "TLC." Now, TLC could stand for Tedium — Labor — Chance, But we mean Tender Loving Care, knowing that plants and lawns will only flour- ish when cared for with timely and proper spray applications by outdoor housekeepers, TLC also means Talented — Light — Compact, de- scribing a new lightweight multi -use compressed air sprayer now available at hardware and garden sup- ply centers for under $20. The new featherweight is Spray Doc, a versatile sprayer that features a rug- ged polyethylene tank and noncorrosive parts, It can be used with pesticides, in- secticides, herbicides or any other yard and garden "tides" you may spray. Any elcan-up job It's handy, too, for spray- ing detergents — to clean patios, screens, cars, walls, garage floors — anywhere you have a clean-up job that a sprayer can help. Available in 11/2 , 2 and 3 gallon capacities, Spray Doc features a quick -pressure pump, longer hose and a spray wand that turns a full 360 degrees to direct the spray where you want it. Volume is controlled by a convenient thumb release trigger, and the nozzle ad- justs all the way from a fine mist to a heavy spray pat- tern. A wide shoulder strap on the 3 gallon Spray Doc adds convenience and com- fort for longer spraying j obs. Universal makes the new poly tank sprayers, and has a big variety of types for other home uses. There are metal tank models, slide sprayers for reaching trees and high shrubs, Sprayers that attach to 'the end of a hose, hand pump spray- ers and dusters. 011ier helpers Spray Doc also includes thermal foggers and flame sprayers, and even special caddy carts to further light- en yard work. Next time you want to nourish your prized plant- ings, keep flies and mos- quitoes away from your barbecue, or wash the fam- ily car, go see Spray Doc. He can do it all! Armor was once stored in wardrobe Purportedly there is his- torical evidence to show that the armoire, the French version of the wardrobe tra- ditionally used for the stor- age of clothing, might have been used for the storage of arms or armor during the days of the knights in shining armor, The early nineteenth cen- tury marked the beginning of co-ordinated bedroom furniture, and with it the use of the armoire in Amer- ica, because built-in closets were unheard of at the time, NOME REPAIRS 60i YOU DOWN?

Kenwell, Superintendent, report- ed enrolment is expected to be down about 228 pupils in Huron, from 7760,5 to 7523.5. He said the average class size is expected to be 29.25 for the next terns, compared to 30.18 this term. Kindergarten class size is 28 children limit for a teacher. Mr. Henderson asked if the right thing was being done by not limiting class size for Grades 1, 2 and 3 to the same number as Kindergarten. Mr. Cochrane said that all would agree that it would be good, but Would add teachers, Mr. Kenwell made a rough guess that it would require about ten CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5' more teachers which would add $100,000 to costs. Mr. Cochrane said that teachers will be hired to the limit of the proposal presented at the meeting but that after the budget is completed and funds are available, then hire more. The Board considered a report made by Chairman E. Cayhill Hill and D.J. Cochrane, Director of Education, following a visit by them last fall to most of the schools in Huron. They listed 10 broad categories that they felt required further study at that time. Detailed reports on these categories were presented verbally at the meeting Monday by Superintendents W.D. Ken - well, Ralph Smith, Robert Allen and J.W. Coulter. These reports are to be presented in written form for the board members at another meeting as it was felt that it would be fairer to them to make a decision as to whether to accept or reject the reports which were quite lengthy. They were,on: 1. Class Size/Teacher-Pupil -ratio. 2. The need for senior Opportunity classes at the Elementary school level, 3, The need for even more concentration in the field of special education, 4. Curriculum Develop- ment, 5. Budgetary matters, 6. Profes- sional development. 7. Organization, Evaluation and Accountability. 8. Pro- grams and facilities. 9. Personnel, 10. The public image of education, A few highlights from these reports were: Mr, Allen said the major request was for keeping children in their own classrooms with the remedial teachers assisting the individual student rather than putting children in Opportunity classes, He said the regular classroom teachers have now become better qualified in the last few years in dealing with these students. Mr. Kenwell reported that Dr. Miller of the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital has volun- teered to go into any or all the schools to talk with a pupil, teacher or principal. He will give about 20 hours per week if needed. Mr. Coulter outlined how the curriculum is developed, He said the Ministry of - Poverty among the former'princes himself as "a poor man who owns no property at all." The privy purses for the princes were firmly guaranteed to them in the Indian constitution when they quite graciously agreed to consolidate their states (which covered half the present country) 'into a united India in order to make independ- ence possible in 1947. They range between the maharajah of Mysore's $262,000 down to 192 rupees ($24) a year for the maharajah of Katodia, whom nobody has seen around for a while. But most received about $62,000 a year out of a total annual payment of about $5 million before Mrs. Gandhi's government used its big majority two years ago to change the constitution and abolish the privy purses. Although she does not seem to have quite achieved this yet, there is no doubt that she has begun to write an unhappy ending to the fairy-tale existence of the Indian princes, some of whom, according in a perfect Oxford accent. "They are to recent histories, were better adminis- having to take their children out of schools trators than the British, some kinkly rulers and sell off the few personal possessions and some dictorial despots, they have left. In any event it has certainly become "We all believe in social justice and the impossible for the present-day princes to equality of men and w have done our best emulate 'the sometimes amazing eccent- to co-operate with Mrs, Gandhi, even ricitics of • their fathers, one of whom, offering to gradually give up the privy according to John Lord's recent book The purses or accept a small lump sum Maharajas, once rented an entire floor of payment to tide us over the difficult time of London's Savoy Hotel and filled it each day transition to an ordinary way of life. with 1,000 fresh red roses, "Some of the princes were good eggs According to author Lord, another prince and some were bad eggs, but the good who was ruffled by a salesgirl in a Paris ones were men of great honor," he said, perfumery bought the entire stock and "What annoys us most is not so much spent half a day smashing bottles on the the loss of money but the dishonorable way floor before walking out, presumable in which the government accepted our feeling somewhat relieved, lands and power with a constitutional Nowadays, the maharajah of Dhrangad- guarantee of fair play, then changed the hra, 52, sits in a dingy, book -linked, constitution back to rob us of our rights. walk-up office in downtown Delhi where he "It wouldn't be so bad," he added,''if it runs a sort of a princes' trade union called the Concord of India, "Some of our people arc suffering great hardship, if not extreme poverty," he said Bantams lose first game The Bantams played Oakwood in the first game of the OMHA finals Sunday, April 7 and came out with a 7 to 4 loss. Blyth scored in the first few minutes and then Oakwood took a 4 to 1 lead at the end of the second period. Blyth came out in the third period and scored to make it 4 to 3, but Oakwood scored three more goals to take a 7 to 3 and then Blyth came back to score the final goal. Goals were scored by Phil Arthur, 2; Steve Howson, 1 and Larry Howatt, 1.

The five were Mary Davey, 223; Susan Howson, 199; Yvonne Youngblut, 193; Theresa Machan 190; Ruth Dougherty, 190. Mary Davey's 223 average topped the whole league with the top single of 353 recorded by Theresa Machan and the best Church news The Service in Blyth United Church on Sunday was a combination of the Palm Sunday theme and the celebration of the Lord's Supper. The service opened with a Processional Anthem by the Intermediate and Senior Choirs in the singing of which the congregation also joined. The Palm Sunday story was read by Howard Campbell. A solo, "Dear 1 Lord, Forgive" was sung by Mrs. John Gibb, Mr. Witich spoke on the theme of "The Open Door" in which he likened the love of Christ to an open door through which we may freely enter into God's presence and fellowship. About 150 members partook of the Lord's Supper. E. Wawanosh council meets Reeve Roy Pattison was appointed by East Wawanosli council to attend the meeting concerning the proposed Blyth swimming pool when the council met for its April meeting on April 2 in Bclgravc.

ATTEND THE FAIMING FONTIERS DAY Thursday, April 18 2 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. - Informative film program - Display of new John Deere equipment at HURON TRICTOR LIl. Service Centre BI th Education gives a' descriptive course of study --guidelines only --and it' is up to the local staff to work out details for the teachers to follow. Mrs, J,W. Wallace criticized the lack of guidance from the Ministry. John Broadfoot questioned the amount of local history and the different levels of government taught to the students. J.P. Alexander stressed the importance of students being well grounded in this as he said in the future these are the same people who will be voting. The members were assured by Mr. Coulter that these are taught. Mr. Coulter speaking ' on the public image of education said this is best done by the teachers in their own areas. "If anyone can tell the public what is going on in education, it is the teacher," he said. A meeting of the school board members and administration with the local news media on April 5 was cited as a good way for the board to give them an opportunity to ask questions. The members of the press were shown through the Administrative Centre at that time, of India had done India any good, but it hasn't put an extra rupee in any worker's pocket or any more food on anybody's table, "All it has done is create a great army of unemployed servants," A lot of ordinary Indians appear to agree with Dhrangadhra and even yearn for the more colorful days of their country, "Taking away their privy purses was unjust to begin with and hasn't done me any good anyway," said Hari Singh, a 700 -rupee ($88) -a -month clerk who lives next door to one of the princes who rides a bicycle to work. "It used to cost us 40 million rupees a year to give them their privy purses and some of them did some social good with it," he said. "Now we waste that much in corruption and losses on a single public enterprise." Toronto Star Morris shows deficit Morris township showed a deficit of $7342 for operations during 1973. , The deficit was shown in the 1973 auditors report adopted at the April meeting of township council held April 1, Also at the meeting, Court of Revision for the Blyth Creek Drain was opened with not appeals made, The by-law regarding the drain was passed.

Etue, Seaforth Wm, Leiper, Londesboro Steve J, Murray, R.R. 5, Seaforth When you travel close to 10,000 miles and meet about S00 total strangers in five days, not only the body but also the mind begins to get a bit scrambled, I'm three days home from a crash trip to Germany. My body feels like an old rubber boot. My mind is like an Irish stew with very little meat in it. I'm not sure what day of the week it is, what time of day it is, or what my first name is. Among us members of the jet set, this condition is known as "jet lag", In plain terms, it is total exhaustion, Normally, I find it fairly traumatic just to change from Standard to Daylight Saving time. It invariably throws me out of gear for a couple of days, But when you go through a time change of six hours, and then do it backwards within a few days, the human system can barely cope. I feel as though my soul, or some other piece of essential equipment, is still back in Germany, or at least in mid-At- lantic, trying desperately to catch up with the bag of bones which is its usual habitat. Just to. complete the weird feeling of alienation, the weather lent a hand. Left Canada in a howling blizzard. Temperature in the Black Forest district in the sixties, flowers blooming every- where, Arrived back home in - guess what a howling blizzard, All in all, I'm slightly unhinged by the experience, so bear with me while 1 try to sort out some impressions of my jaunt. Was it really 1 who was belting along the autobahn a few clays ago at 85 m.p.h, and shuddering I as those crazy Siegfricds went by us like a bat out of hell, doing at least 120? There is no speed limit on the autobahns, A "suggested" limit of 81 is the only guideline and nobody pays any attention to it. Was it really 1 who climbed into bed mit a federbette at 4,30 in the afternoon and slept until five in the morning? Don't raise your eyebrows, gentle reader. A federbette is not what you think. It's a huge down comforter, about 10 inches thick. As light as an electric blanket and as warm as four ordinary blankets. Was it really I who sat over lunch with a gaggle of generals discussing how many tanks the Russians have and what "we" would do if they started anything? Was it really 1 who sat in a "space ship" with four little Canadian kids, all of us wearing "space helmets" and joined them in the count -down?

Damages to his vehicle were estimated at $800. 4-H club meets BY KAREN YOUNG The fourth meeting of the Blyth Powder Puffs was held on April 3 at 7:30 at Mrs. B. Young's, The meeting opened with the 4•H pledge. The roll call, "A good habit for the care of my clothes" was answered by 10 members. The discussion was on "Storage Resources". The meeting closed with the 4-H motto. Sandy Morgan, a pretty Texan girl, and telling her I'd love to go along to Spain on a trip she was organizing for officers' wives, but that I really had only two days left? I'm afraid all these questions imust be answered in the affirmative, but perhaps they will give some idea of the mind-bogg- ling five days i had. One thing I did not do was something my wife, in a fit of pique, suggested 1 would. We were being entertained by friends one evening, just before I left. She was annoyed because she wasn't going.

Behind the scenes Who's going to pay? BY KEITH ROULSTON Advertising has been taking a hard knock lately...as usual. First and foremost was the Canadian Radio and Television Commission ruling that the CBC should get out of the commercial television business, a ruling that has jarred the broadcast and advertising worlds. Then there is the campaign being pushed by many against , liquor and beer advertising, Then there was the memo we had a chance to see lately circulated by the big wheels of the Canadian Cancer Society telling the local unit promoters not to place any paid advertising in their upcoming campaign. They got enough free advertising, the Cancer Society people said, without paying for any. They were right, of course. They do get a lot of free advertising. For every dollar they paid out in advertising last year, they probably had $10,000 donat- ed by newspapers, magazines, and radio and television stations. Most other charitable groups are in the same boat. The result has been that many of these groups take the free stuff for granted and don't want to spend any money at all for advertising. The funny thing is that the people who sent out that memo Sunshine Unit meets The April meeting of the Sunshine Unit was held in the church parlour on Tuesday, April 2 at 2 p.m. Mrs. Howard Campbell was in charge of devotions. The meeting opened with the singing of a hymn, a scripture reading from the book of Revelations and a scripture reading from John 20: 11-18 by Mrs. Henry Armstrong. Prayer was led by Mrs. Campbell and hymn 118 was. sung, "We have no gospel at all, unless we recognize the reserect- ion". The offering was received and, dedicated. Mrs. Bettty Nethery gave a reading. The Easter story was told by Mrs. Howard Campbell. Hymn 115 was sung followed . by ,prayer by Mrs. Campbell. Mrs. Smith took the chair for the business meeting. Mrs. Smith gave a few of the highlights of the Presbyterial held in Mitchell United Church on March 6. The roll call showed 15 present. The roll call in May is to be answered by a verse containing the word, "Ask". The treasurer's report was given by Mrs. Harvey McDowell. Mrs. Souch read some correspon- dence. Meeting closed with prayer. Lunch was served by Mrs. Wm. Buchanan and Mrs. Leslie Johnston. are PAID employees of this charitable institution. They don't donate their services. They don't expect people to donate the cars and trucks the Cancer Society uses, They don't expect free gas to drive those vehicles. They don't expect free uniforms or office stationary or any of the hundreds of other things that donations to the Society help to pay. Yet they expect free advertising. Advertising is one of the most misunderstood things in the Western. world, It'sk cursed and damned in every corner, yet it is so essential to our way of life as we know it that if you took it away, the hole left would be enormous. I've heard many people, for instance, become upset with the cigarette and liquor advertise- ments in their favourite maga- zine. Yet without those advertise- ments, that magazine probably would not exist. The advertising agencies who place advertising in ' the various media are hung up on • television these days and they spend most of the advertising money they have on TV. Two things, however, can't be adver- tised on television: cigarettes and hard liquor, and so the magazines get the business instead. If you took away o those ads, the magazine would have to boost its subscription rates enormously and if they did that, few people would spend the money to buy the magazine and it would soon die. I've heard the saying so many times: Oh, that paper's got nothing but advertising in it. It hasn't of course. Most newspap- ers devote at least 50 per cent of their space to news. But it is the advertising that has to pay the way. If, for instance, there were no advertising in The Standard, the subscription rate would have to be about $30 a year to cover the costs of producing the paper. How many people would be able to afford to pay for the paper at that price? Your daily newspaper would cost about 60 cents a day and your television, that provider of free entertainment, wouldn't be free without commercials. Most editors, of course, agree with the readers. They would like to be able to run their publications without depending on advertising which uses up space and means special staff has to be hired to sell and put ads together. But there is another side altogether and on that side, advertising is not only a cross we must bear, but is playing a service to us all. Surveys show that most people buy a newspaper to read the advertisements, because the advertisements carry just as much news as the rest of the paper. How much is rump roast this week at the butcher shop? How much is that pretty dress I saw in the store window? What time does the feature start at the movie theatre? When is that dance coming up?

Most stores, for instance, would sell far less than they do if they didn't I advertise and let people know what they have to offer. If they sold less, many stores would go out of business, and you would have one place less to shop in. Lack of competition would then lead to higher prices. I don't expect this column will change your whole life, Like me, you'll probably still mumble to yourself after seeing seven straight soap commercials in the middle of a television show or you'll get upset when the Wednesday edition of the daily newspaper arrives complete with five_ advertising sections for Eatons, Simpsons and every other store in the city. Just stop and think, however, just what life would be like without advertising.
