The Blyth Standard, 1974-04-24, Page 1Record $13 million education bill for Huron in BY WILMA OKE The Huron County Board of Education approved a budget of 513,185,831 for 1974 at a special meeting in Clinton Monday - up 9.24 per cent ($1,115,503) over last year. Municipal taxes will cover $3,091,559, while $9,426,000 will come from provincial grants. Tuition fees and school rentals will cover $612,784, B.C, Straughan, chief accountant for the Board, said there was a surplus of $55,488 from 1973. (In the elementary panel there was a surplus of $80,832 less a deficit in the secondary panel of $25,344,) The average local mill rate for 1974 will be elementary 20.7 mills, down one mill tie BLYTH, ONTARIO. 15 CENTS Board agrees with study on dropouts from last year, and secondary 20.4 mills, up 31 mills, The province will pay approximately 74 per cebt of ordinary expenditures in the elementary panel in 1974, an increase of about two per cent over 1973, and will pay approximately 74 per cent of ordinary expenditures in the secondary panel this year, a decrease of about 2 per cent. R.B, Dunlop, Business Administrator, explained the improvement in the elementary panel resulted from more generous assistance in the French language grant for elementary pupils, D.J, Cochrane, Director of Education, in presenting the budget said preparations for it were started last November to outline an Herbert Turkheim, reported on a presentation on technical programs in Huron Secondary Schools at the meeting of the Huron County Board of Education held last week in Clinton. Technical Directors—Walter Fyden- chuck, South Huron; Ed Beard, F.E. Madill; Murray McGill, Goderich Col- legiate and Bill Craig, Central 'Huron Secondary at Clinton explained the background and philosophy of technical education; the effects of the credit system on technical education in this area and the future of the course. The Board, at the meeting, approved the Management Committee recommendation that the services of a competent mason be retained to carry out the masonry repairs on all county schools on a cost plus basis, the name and the conditions of the agreement to be submitted to the Board for its approval. The second recommendation presented by C. McDonald, vice-chairman of Management Committee, was approved that further investigation would be carried out with respect to the flooding and condition of the playing field at Goderich District Collegiate pending the finalization of the construction of the new storm sewer facility on Bennett Street. The Board approved a subdivision plan proposed for the Village of Zurich but the board representative from the area, Mr, Turkheim along with Charles Rau, and the senior administration will be directed to consult with the County Planning Director, Gary Davidson, with regard to future provision for school accommodation. It was suggested that the plan for 38 lots not be approved but Mr, Turkheim said there was a critical need for homes in Zurich and this would holdup the start on the subdivision. The area is situated about a•half mile from the present public school in Zurich and will be adjacent to St. Boniface Roman Catholic School. Talking about the number of pupils who might be expected from the new subdivision, Mr. Turkheim said, there might be about 76 pupils, with a fifty-fifty split, half for the public and half for the separate .school. Mr. Turkheim said if Hydro does build a nuclear powered generating station in the area, as rumours indicate, it would not be for five years and the increased, accommodations needed would be studied to prepare for that occurence at a later time. The Board will go along with a task force to gather data on the phenomenon of , students leaving secondary school before completing their programs which is causing continuing concern to the Ministry of Education. Dr, C. Watson of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Educ• tion, will be the principal investigator. The work will be carried out throughout the school year, 1974.75 with the secondary schools CONTINUED ON PAGE` 3 VOLUME 84 - NO. 17 the capital needs and the maintenance needs, and continued through January, February, March and into April to present date as requisitions came in from principals for additions or replacements of equipment, as staffing needs and enrolment projections were up -dated and grant regulations received. Cayley Hill, chairman of the Board, said it would be a good idea at the inaugural meeting when board of management and education committees are being set up ,;to have a sub -committee formed to act as a budget committee, The committee mem- bers would sit down with the administra- tion and screen requests for equipment and assist in presenting facts to board a WEDNESDAY, APRIL 24, 1974 Nature's mistake Bruce Aulley of RR 4, Walton holds one of nature's oddities, a pig with five legs born on the farm east of Londesboro shared by Mr. Hulley and Don hippies.

Village ran up The village of Blyth showed an operating deficit of more than 54000 for 1973 according to figures contained in A.M. Harper's auditor's report released this week. The actual amount of the deficit was $4,757, Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh explained that the major reason for the deficit was the construction of a new water reservoirwhich was not included in the 1973 budget when $4757 deficit it was prepared by Mr. Harper. Also up from last year was the general government expenditure caused by the hiring of a full-time clerk rather than a part-time clerk. The financial statement of the hydro department shows a total assets of $211,530 while the water works depart- ment shows a net revenue of $11,110. Complete auditor's report information is included in this issue of The Standard.' '74 members, Mr. Hill said. It was decided that two members of the educatiop committee and two from the management committee would be named to form this Committee. Instruction costs will use up to 78.1 per cent of the total ordinary expenditures in the elementary panel and 78.3 per cent in the secondary and retarded pupil panels. When the subject of field trips was brought up in the budget, Mrs. Mollie Kunder requested that a committee be set up to look into field trips with recommendations for the 1975 Board. On the committee will be trustees, administra- tion, and representatives of elementary and secondary principals. Reeve Lawrie:. attends workshop Blyth Reeve Robbie Lawrie was among the 80 Huron county elected and appointed officials who attended a special workshop in Goderich on Friday on local government. The workshop was one of several held across the province by the Ontario Association of Counties and Regions; of untario and the Ontario Association of Rural Municipalities. Reeve Lawrie, as a. member of the county's executive committee, attended a similar meeting in Toronto earlier this month. Sound planning and an open line of communication between county anct�;r, municipal governments emerged as kej!Y. factors involved in restructuring Huro;ri- County's local government during 'the. workshop. The civic and elected officials from Huron also decided that improved transportation links are necessary to . promote county growth. "Right now, there is no public train transportation in Huron County, and freight transportation is very limited •-- especially in the north," said Warden William Elston,•of Morris Township, in an interview. Through input of Local officials, the associations plan to direct information regarding regional government to the ministry of treasury, economics and intergovernmental affairs. Huron is the first county to have its official plan approved by the province and also is one of the first to have its own planning department. Under new provincial guidelines, the ministry is suggesting some restructuring of local governments, but has not made regional government mandatory in Huron County. Representatives at the workshop, however,' felt this likely will be the case within the next few years. "It is felt the shotgun will cone out from uner the blanket if we don't get moving," said Huron County director of planning Gary Davidson. He was giving his group's response to a set of questions which representatives were asked to discuss at the afternoon session. Each of the 10 groups was asked to consider several aspects involved in restructuring local government -• including methods, size of municipal units and crucial problems facing Huron County. Most groups agreed that planning wa important, as well as consulting with neighboring counties. Municipal units from 3,000 to 6,000 were considered as being "a reasonable yardstick" for a local municipal unit in rural Ontario. Transportation was cited as the most crucial • problem by most groups, with maintenance of agricultural next in importance. Half of Hurn's 53,000 residents live on farms. All the groups felt mare discussions between county and municipal officials are needed, as well as information meetings with local residents. Every municipality in Huron was represented by at least one citizen usually the reeve, deputy -reeve or some other member of council, Keynote speaker was Allan Masson, chairman of the. Regional Municipality of Halton. Regional government, according to Masson, is "almost a four letter word one does not use in polite society", Huron County Council has been fighting for autonomy and against regional govern- ment as favored by the provincial CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 PG. 2.

We don't know how long it will be before some of you readers from out .of town will be reading this edition of The Standard thanks to the unfriendly gents at the bigger post offices who decided they needed a spring vacation. For readers closer to home, however, it will be business as usual thanks to the dedicated service of the local post offices and a little extra driving on the part of our own staff to get the papers to the post offices. *** Postal strikes effect The Stan- dard only marginally with the bulk of papers still being delivered on time and over the ' years we've learned how to cope with the problems—lord knows we've had plenty of practice. With our other publication, the Village Squire, however, the postal strike has more serious repercussions. The Squire was ready to go into the mail Monday morning after a long weekend of work by our staff, but only the copies going to Blyth were delivered. We have nearly 3000 copies sitting waiting for the strike to end. We can only hope readers will be patient. *** Memorial Hall theatre is still out of bounds for public use until after repairs are made this summer, but there is at least some use being made of the theatre. By special permission of village council Paul Thompson and Theatre Passe Muraille, the people who brought you the Farm Show and Them Donnellys, are using the stage for rehearsal of a , new play about the 1837 Rebellion, The play will be touring the area in the month of may after severa The play will be touring the area in the month of May after several weeks of hard rehearsal here in Blyth. *** The Farm Show, meanwhile, will be available sometime in the future on television, Filming of the show took place in Toronto last week by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. *** While we're discussing thea- tre, don't forget the younger version of theatre on Thursday night at the Public School, as the students present H.M.S. Pinafore which will no doubt have some startling performances. *** Rehearsals are also continuing for Twin Pack, the two -play production of Blyth Little Theatre scheduled for May 10-11.

Masson said in the Region of Halton, regional government was invited • "not foisted upon us", He outlined the various steps toward- regionalization. in his area - and spoke in favor of such a system. The speaker said that in Halton, the initial plans for the region were hammered out by civil servants from Burlington and Oakville in consultation with . the other municipalities coming into the region. No elected people were on that committee of 28 or 30 people who met every week to produce the draft plan which was then "torn apart" by elected officials. masson said he would not now do it differently. He said the main thrust of that committee was to cut down on the number of municipalities and the size of the council. He said the region asked for 14 representatives on council; the provincial government appointed 24. Masson admitted there was a certain School board attends workshop CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 amount of truth in the rumors that under a regional system, costs increase • but he • added that any government is "caught up • in the whole spiral of inflation", "It is very easy to blame regional • government for the increases, but cost are up even in the counties," said Masson, "We arc really unable to tell what our ' actual increase is," In order to keep costs down, Masson said the regional council for Halton area is "looking at every area they can" where duplication of services can be eliminated. Jack Riddell, Huron MPP, told the meeting that studies show costs are higher for regional government. He said the provincial government is encouraging municipalities to regionalize through improved grants for regions, "They are saying you can make up your own mind about it, but we're going to help you a little," said Riddell, Though Hon, John White has stated no pressure will be exerted by provincial government toward regional government, most persons who attended Friday's workshop agreed the time is growing short THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 24, 1974.

AFter the noon break when 10 buzz groups were formed, . it was generally agreed that before long the government will begin regionalization with or without local approval. One group felt 'that following the next provincial election, there will be more pressure toward this end. It was thought that a series of public meetings to get the impression of the local taxpayers as well as the formation of a committee on restructuring to study action in similar areas, would be beneficial to Huron officials. There should also be consultation with provincial authorities in this matter, the meeting felt. A municipal unit in a rural area like Huron should not exceed 6,000 people according to the meeting - or be less than 3,000. Other factors to be considered in determining the size and number of local municipal units in a restructured county would be land area (acreage) and assessment as well as georaphic location, travel habits and socio-economic districts, agrees with study CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 involved to study the chacteristics, , incidence and destination of dropouts, The Board approved a request for a field trip by Hullett Central Public School for 29 Grade 8 students to go on a two-day trip to Toronto May 9-10 to visit Toronto International Airport, Fort York, Toronto Dominion Centre, Parliament Buildings, Royal Ontario Museum and the Planet- arium to reinforce some of the instruction they received to date this year in Science, History and Geography and to become somewhat aware of the way of life in an urban centre, at a cost of approximately $75 to board -school budget and the balance amounting to about $20 per pupil.

A letter was read from the Property Committee of Huron County Council inviting represen- tation at a meeting on April )5. The secretary reported that a reply had been sent indicating that the appointed committee from the Branch would attend. The awards offered by Heritage Canada were discussed and it was agreed to nominate Dr, Douglas Richardson who has been active in the preservation of the Stratford City Hall, Toronto Union Station and Old City Hall as well as the former Huron County Jail if he is agreeable to the nomination, Mrs. G.

Blyth 4-H club meets BY KAREN YOUNG The sixth meeting of the Blyth Powder Puffs was held April 17, at 7:30, at the home of Mrs, B. Young. ' The meeting opened with the 4-H pledge, The roll call "One health habit I will practice for a lovely complexion" was answered by 10 members The discussion was on "Hair Care", Mrs. Robinson demon- strated the' blow dryer and the curling iron on Karen Young. The meeting closed with the 4-H motto. Most felt it is important to make changes within a county only after consultation with surrounding counties. The extension of county services such as library, health, planning, welfare to include fire and police protection, ,roads and recreation, was deemed the best way to achieve co-operation between the county and its member municipalities. Mention was also made of the fact that unless county council representatives take back accurate and complete information to their own municipal councils, co-operation will be difficult to build, The lack of public transportation systems into the county was listed as one of the most critical problems facing Huron at the present time, This would include trains and buses for those who must rely on such vehicles for travel, as well as good roads linking up easily to major highways such as 401 for business and industry as well as individuals. Other problems mentioned were the provincial grant structures, recreation, policing, land use, Ontario Hydro and National and international policies.

THE BLYTII STANDARD, APRIL 24, 1974., Editorials Thanks for the service Times like these, you appreciate living in a small village. While the staffs of post offices all over the country go crazy and thumb their noses at the people who pay their salaries, we in Blyth and the other villages of the areaget service above and beyond the call of duty. Few people realize just how much extra effort our local post office people put into giving people the service, At Blyth postoffice, for instance, 'few people know that every Thursday morning the staff arrives v s e arty in order that all the Standards can be sorted and put in boxes by the time people arrive to get their mail. The staff at our post offices are more interested in service than strikes. Frankly, in times like these, they deserve a big thank you from each of us as they hand us our mail this week (if there is any mail happens to get through the striking Clinton office). A lesson on Communism United States Senator Ted Kennedy probably learned more about Communism in Russia in a couple of hours this past weekend in o all the study he's done over the years. Mr. Kennedy, the champion of American liberals, was in Russia conducting a seminar when he tried to poll members of the audience on their opinions of Russia. The audience didn't know how to react to this unprecidented move and Mr. Kennedy was finally hustled out of the building by Russian officials who said he was feeling ill, • A strange happening to us in North America where even the most left wing political activists believe in two-way dialogue. It shows us how far Russia has to go before it will be a land of freedom for all the people. We have gone in recent years from the all -consuming fear of Russian Communism of the 19S0's and '60's to a feeling of "ah, they're not bad guys after all" at present. It has been a healthy shift of opinion, but in our new moves to understand and co -exist with Russia, we should also be aware that there is much in that big nation that is not well. Who runs whom? The big question this week amid all the illegal strikes is why there isn't some tough legal action by the government. The question is being asked by the man on the street, by the editorial writers and by radio commentators. Could the answer be that the government is running a little scared? It might seem to be the only answer. Definitely legal action would be. a popular move politicially. People are fed up with strikes, especially those in the post office and affecting air service and would love to see the government crack down, particularly when these are illegal strikes. But unions these days are in the position that a government thinks twice before taking action. Militancy is especially strong in the postal union and all unions in the past few years have shown that they will stick together if the government acts. Memories of the government -union confrontation in Quebec a few short years ago when the government jailed union leaders for disobeying the law and then saw the unions practically close the province down and threaten civil war, are all too fresh in the minds of legislators. The government looks bad if it doesn't act, but it can look even worse if its action causes a real crisis. And who's to say it wouldn't? One of the greatest problems the ordinary joe faces today is the battle between unions and big business or big government. While some unions have settled into a comfortable sort of conservativism, others are extremely militant and the union becomes a sort of mob rule where the individual members do things that they would never consider doing on their own. The individual submerges into the mob and all responsibility for his actions ends. The union problem today is growing to the point of no return. Unions were very much needed when they were formed, and in some cases still are, but in most cases they have outlived their usefulness. Their only reason for fighting is to contint'e their own existence. And the really big unions are usually dealing with either big business or big government so what does it matter, Whatever the settlement is the employer can just pass the cost along, and probably add a little extra on for his trouble. The guy who gets hurt is the little guy, the one who has to pay extra for the ser"ice, or the small businessman who depends on the mail or on air transporatation for his business. The adversary system of bargaining has long outlived its usefulness (except perhaps to union leaders). The tjane has come for bold action to lead us out of the mess we're in. It won't be easy, and it may mean having to knock some heads together, but the action must be taken and taken soon. But who, among our political leaders of all parties, has the guts to do it? standard KEITH & JILL ROULSTON Co•Publishers Published every Wednesday at Queen St., Blyth, Ontario.

He has offered the Village a chance to make a statement "at any time" on another CKNX interview. To which the council states "no thank youl once bitten twice shy". If the manager considers the April 3rd interview unbiased it would be foolhardy for the Village to knowingly put themselves into the same position again. We can only say to CKNX - "Nice try...and we still say shame on you," Signed Bayfield Village Council Dear Sir: For some time now I have beep trying to refrain from these comments. However impulse has overcome my better judgement, and I submit the following. What's all this talk about food shortages? Everywhere, I read about food shortages, or expected food shortages. Anybody who goes shopping must realize that the food stores are well stocked with a good selection of anything they wish to purchase. You can take your choice of fruits, vegetables, meats, pastrys, cer- eals or anything else, its all there waiting for customers, Has anyone tried to buy a home freezer lately? or a single bed mattress, or matched set of washer and drier, or the new car of your choice? Or worse still parts to repair the one you have? Farm machinery, tile, brick, plumbing fixtures and I could go on and on are on back order dearly every time you need any. Has the food store operator ever told you to conte back in 2 weeks that he may have some then? It seems to me that food is one of the few things that is not in short supply. We often hear that the people of India are starving. I have a close friend living in India at the present time, who tells me that many people in India ARE hungry and starving. But the people in India who have MONEY can buy anything they want in the line of food, and there are 200 million cows roaming around eating everything in sight till they die of old age or unattended sickness, It seems to me that society can be conned into a state of mind that blinds, simply by well directed publicity. When people whose main physical 'problems are, a result of over eating or driking, can be led to believe there is a food shortage, we must admit there must be some expert publicity people around. Then theres this business of good land going out of food production, i agree that there should be better ,management of land uses. But whose responsi- bility is it to maintian a resource for some future generation? if Canada's population continues to increase at the rate of only 1.7 per cent every ten years and farmers efficiency increases as it has in the past 10 years, we'll be lookinf for export markets for a long time yet. And isn't land that is occupiec by highways, airfields, cities etc serving people better than lane that lies under throrn trees,, Sincerely, Mason Bailey, R.R. 3, Blyth, Ont. TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO 5L1"J SYNDICATE At 14, many a teen is reluctant to do chores at home, but not Terry. He is a co-operative lad, eager to please and faithful about doing the jobs his foster parents assign to him, Terry is healthy and good-looking, short in stature hut sturdy. He has blue eyes, blonde hair and a fair, freckled complexion. He is shy with new people and inclined to be quiet even with those he knows, though lately he has becotne more confident and outgoing. Terry attends a school for non-acadetnic students where he is at a senior Grade 10 level, He has a real talent for shop work, Terry loves animals. He says he wants to be a farmer and have "a lot of dogs." Baseball is Terry's great interest. Seldom seen without his baseball glove, he is becoming a good outfielder. He also enjoys wrestling and bike riding. Terry gets on well both at school and in his foster home when he knows exactly what is expected of him. He needs a family who can accept a boy with limited ability who can` combine firmness with obvious affection and who can give him encouragement to persevere and be proud of what he accomplishes. To inquire about adopting Terry, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888 Station K, Toronto M4P 2112.

Bennett is trying to determine just what the effect of the oil and gas shortage will be on the flood of families from the United States who normally fill our cottage country in the summer and leave a good deal of their money here when they go home. The fact that Canada docs not share their shortage might draw Americans to us -- that is, if they can reach the border. On the other hand, the impact of the crisis might be to create an austerity frame of mind with travel at a low priority, not only for potential visitors from below the border but for those from Britain and Europe as well. lf, as a result of our comparative well-being, we Ontarians fail to share in THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 24, 1974, PG. S., The province We need more tourists right here this travel restraint, the province may have a summer exodus of holidayers but no comparable influx, Tourism is'a game of exchange in which we hope that our visitors will outnumber (and be more easily separated from their money) than our own temporary emi- grants. This creates jobs and strengthens Canada's monetary exchange position. Although one cannot help being impressed by the energy of the minister, who perambulated about the province last summer trying to catch the flavor of Ontario tourism, (he logged over 7,000 miles, visiting every conceivable outpost) one is singularly unimpressed by the ministry and its record. As Bennett himself admits, the resort industry has been slipping for years. At a time when Disneyland is laying offf hundreds of workers and only the most imaginative approach can see Ontario through, one is not given courage by the offhand comment of the minister that the gasoline shortage "might be a blessing in disguise to the tourist industry in this province." in place of this whistling in the dark, I would prefer to see an alternative push to convince Ontarians that they should stay in their province --and, more significantly, to reach many urban people on low incomes who share little of the recreational wealth of this province. With some provincial assistance they could enjoy a real holiday in Ontario's vacation country. Could we consider, for example, the development of railway excursions to Ontario's north, using existing track and rolling stock through arrangements with the railway companies? The Ontario Northland Railway, already ,popular for its Polar Bear Express, could become a major attraction with its use tied into the local camping and tourist facilities. Could the day of large pleasure craft on the Great Lakes return, this time with cruises co-ordinated with tourist activities along the shores? Could efforts be made to encourage and publicize local tourism? It need not be stressed that most people know little about the regions in which they live. Thousands of campers drive hundreds of miles through intolerable traffic snarls to get to a park which may be no unlike one within a dozen miles or so of their homes but which they have not even seen. Tourism is more fun when it takes in cultural events. Ontario has local theatre guilds, arts and crafts councils, community symphony orchestras and dozens of The nation Why we need a governor-general BY CHRISTOPHER YOUNG if the governor-general did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. Voltaire's epigram baout God applies with force to the ceremonial position assumed this week by His Excellency Jules Leger. Recently, Douglas Fisher, in socratic dialogue with his son, explained that the governor-general was only "for dumb show", a vestigial position retained only 'because it is more trouble getting rid of the job than it is having it". The impressionable mind of Fisher jr, should not be left to think that this is really the way it is. On the contrary. The office of governor-general is of crucial importance in the Canadian scheme of things, and it is becoming more important all the time as the role of the monarch recedes. John Diefenbaker is quite right: The importance of the crown, as embodied in the British hereditary monarchy, is gradually fading in this and other Commonwealth countries. In some of those countries the logical conclusion of that process has been reached in a situation where the Queen is simply the head of the Commonwealth and is no longer, even formally, the head of state. Mr. Diefenbaker thinks that is a terrible thing: I believe it is natural, proper and inevitable. But regardless of such opinions, the process has been going on since colonial days, has continued more or less steadily since Confederation, and con- tinues to evolve in our own time. There is no particular need to rush this evolution, so long as significant numbers of Canadians feel threatened by it. But we have moved well along the road toward the creation of a Canadian head of state, and we now have him for most practical purposes, in fact though not in form, in the person of the governor-general. As we have moved along this road, it seems to me that the office of governor-general has become more, not less important. Particularly has this been so since 1952, when we began choosing Canadians for the position. it was somewhat unnatural to think of, say, Lord Bessborough or the Earl of Athlone as Canadian heads of state. They were viceroys, emissaries of their sovereign sent first-rate school bands and choirs whose activities could be co-ordinated with the tourist expectations of the region. Winter tourism is a special problem. Some kinds of recreation --tennis, swim- ming, golf, badminton—require warmth to make them pleasant. Huge plastic domes can be built to provide a controlled temperature --but that requires capital. Unfortunately, the small tourist operators have none and the way is open for the huge hotel conglomerates to move in. Here is an area where the Davis government could couple its greed for tourist dollars with some commitment to the small Canadian businessman and local tourist councils. The Ontario government has depended upon slick advertising and a catchy "Ontario" tune to draw tourist dollars. it has failed miserably to assist the ordinary operator and in doing so has enriched the big hotel -owners. Now is the time to change that. Tourism must become a program of cultural awakening, of social commitment and co-operative industrial development. I doubt that Claude Bennett with all his clout can move this uninspired government to take these new directions. *Walter Pitman, former MP and NDP member of the Legislature for Peterbor- ough, is dean of arts and science at Trent University. -The Toronto Star to represent his person in his Canadian domain. It seems to me quite natural to think of a Massey, Vanier, Michener or Leger as the Canadian head of state, a ceremonial ornamental, inspirational leader able 'to express the .values that the great majority of Canadians' hold in common, regardless of ethnic origin, cultural background, economic condition, or political belief. We could dispense with the office of governor-general (under that or some other title) only if we wished to dispense with our present system of government in favor of another. For example, the adoption of republican system of government led by a popularly -elected president would be quite CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 The world The answer my friend is blowing in the wind . BY MICHAEL HARRINGTON A short time ago a friend of urine called Inc to sec if 1 could track down tor him a newspaper story 'about some Canadain fellow who had developed his own source of energy at home, by either building or securing a wind -charger. Finally, after some time looking 1 think I found the item in question. A lot of people remember the wind -charger. Essentially, it's just another name for windmill;• basically consists of a tower of varying heights with a kind of wheel at the tot) made Up of oblique vanes or sails which catch the wind and spins it around. Through an arrangement of gears the force is.transfcrred to the ground where it is used to drive a motor that can be used to produce electricity. The wheel has an extension, something like a rudder, which allows the apparatus to adjust to the wind's direction. That's how 1 understand it --if I'm wrong on any facts or details someone can set me right. Early last fall, almost two months before the start of the Middle East war and the subsequent oil embargo and accentuated energy crisis, I mentioned in passing in this column the various new prospccs that scientists and engineers were talking about with respect to new resources of energy. Among these were harnessing thermal energy from the hot core of the earth; using the sun's rays to produce solar heat;) building giant windmills as suggested by that American genius Buckminster Fuller to avail of the boundless but largely wasted powers of the air, the winds of heaven. I mentioned that plans were well along for building the prototype of a giant sailing vessel, temporarily referred to as a "Dynaship". Why not? For thousands of years, wind blowing against canvas was the sole motive power for ships of every nation, and some of them managed to attain quite a respectable speed on times. The "Dynaship" would, of course, be much more scientific and sophisticated and able to attain much greater speeds and not be dependent entirely on wind power, in the event of a calm. put to get back to the original item about the windmill which desribed how Chirs Hawes of West Dublin, N.S., being aware that Australians use windmill power to generate electricity to run their sheep ranches in the desert outback where waterpower is scarce, has decided that many Canadians can do likewise. So he will import an Australian windmill and generating equipment and plans to use t to run his household's electrical appliances as well as provide light. He says a large -size windmill can produce 2,000 watts and will generate it in a seven mile -an -hour wind. There is also a backup in the form of a bank of storage batteries that can keep things going for at least 24 hours if anything goes wrong or the wind dies away almost completely. That's something that rarely happens in Newfoundland --If anything ile would have too much wind all year around, not to mention the hot air from the various politicians. Mr. Hawes estimated that a large windmill generating plant can be bought for about $3,000 and all it would need for operation and maintenance would be a grease and oil job every five years, As everyone knows, the people in the Low Countries, Belgium and Holland, where waterpower and, other energy sources are limited, have relied for centuries on windmills to supply both commercial and domestic power. The quaint structures, with their huge blades or vanes turning slowly in the wind, are a picturesque feature of the landscapes of those countries, and a great tourist attraction as well as a practical installation. Buckntinister Fuller has pointed out, in a recent article in the Toronto Globe and Mail that, when it comes to harnessing solar energy, windmills are the greatest medium on earth for doing this. "Windmills" he writes, "produce power from the sun generated differentials of heat, which are the source of all wind, and they do it with greater efficiency than the direct efforts to focus and store direct solar radiation." Fuller's article goes on to describe in complex scientific terms and mathematical formulae how much solar energy is and other kinds of energy surrounds the earth for twenty-four hours of every day. Without going into detail it's enough to say that this usable energy is seven million times what the earth's population will need in the year 2000 A.D., which, as •s know, will be many, many times what it is at the • present moment. This province, (Newfoundland) I would say, is one 'of the most ideal for an accelerated use of windchargers. It is a rare day, at any season of the year, that there is less than a seven utile -an -hour wind blowing. OUr biggest trouble I feel would be the fact that we get so much wind, and so much consistently heavy wind, that the apparatus would have to be a good deal stronger than similar installations elsewhere or much more securely anchored. My first and most vivid recollection of windchargers at work in large numbers was the first time I .vent across Newfoundland on the now CN tinct Newtie Bullet of happy memory. The place I remember most and best was the railway town of Howley which, having no connection with a regular electrical power supply depended on windchargers to light its homes and keep its radios going. 'There were probably other places where the installations were active too, but Howley sticks out in my mind; and I can still see the tal shafts with the vanes whirling around, above the houses and shops. That mind's -eye vision brings me back to the news item that started off this excursion into wind power, the story about Chris Hawes of West Dublin, Nova Scotia. Not only does he feel that windchargers may be the answer to the rising cost of commercial energy, especially electricity. Mr. Hawes also admitted to being somewhat resentful about having to be tied into a public utility; the sunt total of many thousands of people being so linked, with poles and wires strung across the countryside is what he and others term "visual pollution". Well. I hope my friend secs this column and that it answers some of the questions he asked about windchargers. Perhaps we'll see a local revival, As the song says: "The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. -St. John's Telegram 6. THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 24, 1974. , Canada needs a governor-general CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5) a different system from the one we.have. There is absolutely no evidence of any kind to suggest that a significant number of Canadians favor a change of that kind. The practical advantages of separating the formal leadership of state from the more powerful position of head of government are well known and generally accepted in Canada. The governor-general relieves the prime minister of much time-consuming ritual labor that must be done by somebody and that is better done by one who is not engaged in the tough and raucous game of daily party politics. The governor-general represents trad- ition, continuity and consensus in a way that no prime minister, however generally admired, can do while he is still the leader of one political party as opposed to others. 1 would suggest that we are even more fortunate than the British in the way the system works for us. Through good fortune and the genius of the unwritten, evolutionary constitution that we inherited from Britain, we have developed a less accident-prone institution than the corwn itself. For despite the success of the present royal house, it is always possible in the future, as has happened in the past, that the lottery of inheritance might throw up a fool or a knave, a king or queen who is corrupt or lazy, self-seeking or feeble- minded By selecting our head of state in the fullness of his maturity, on the basis of perceived qualities and a long record of distinction, we are virtually guaranteed a man or woman (that precedent was set in Ontario) who is capable of performing the functions of the office with style and order, Fisher belives that the essential duties of the office, such as the signing of bills and the reading of speeches from the throne, could be performed by the chief justice of Canada, who in fact deputizes for. the governor-general when he is unavailable. Technically, 1 suppose that possibility exists. In the case of the provincial lieutenant -governors, it is perhaps even a practical idea. But in terms of the headship of the Canadian state it is not possible at all unless: (a) we wish to dispense with almost all the nation -building, consensus•expres, sing work done by an active governor- general like Roland Michener; or (b) we wish to fall back on the Queen and persuade her to spend far more time than she is likely to want to spare in her Canadian realm.

One has only to think of the quarter of a million miles travelled by Mr, and Mrs, Michener in the performance of their job to see how impossible is the thought of offloading such a burden to the shoulders of either the chief justice of Canada or the Queen of England. To accept the Fisher viewpoint one would have to say that all that travel, all those speeches, and the example set by Michener and his predecessors were unnecessary or of small value. I cannot see how that is a sensible conclusion.

THE 'NTH STANDARD, APRIL 24, 1974, PG. 7. From the Minister's Study BY THE REV. FRED CARSON What 1 write below is a direct quotation from the famous works of Thomas A Kempis (1380-1471) - "The Imitation of Christ" - as translated by Betty I. Knott. I submit it with the recommendation that the reader meditate upon what is written. This particular article, "On the Fickleness of the Heart and on keeping one's ultimate intention fixed on God" is written as though the Lord were speaking to His disciple, "...My son, you must not rely on how you feel at the moment, for you will soon feel something quite different. As long as you remain in this life, you cannot help being subject to change • sometimes you are happy, sometimes sad; sometimes peaceful, sometimes troubled; sometimes devout, sometimes quite unmoved; sometimes full of enthusiasm, sometimes full of apathy; sometimes serious, sometimes taking nothing seriously at all. "Yet the man who is wise and spiritually educated stands above these shifting emotions; he pays no attention to his personal feelings; he does not care from what quarter the wind of his fickleness is blowing, but sees to it that the whole purpose of his mind is striving towards its proper longed -for goal. A man can remain unshaken one ' and the same if across all the different things that intervene, he directs his will with undivided gaze and without a moment's slackening to me. "The purer the eye of the will, the more unswerving the course amidst the squalls. But the clear eye of the will is dimmed in many people, because they are so ready to look away at any unpleasant thing that comes across their path - it is rare to find a man who is wholly free from the blemish of self-seeking. That was why the Jews once came to Martha and Mary at Bethany, not only on account of Jesus, but so as to have sight of Lazarus (John 12:9). "So you must clear the eye of your will, so that its gaze is undivided and direct and turn it towards me past all the various things that e between, RILEY-THALEN 'Photo by Harvey McDowell ??How does your i c i. i garden grow??i !i i i ALL FRESH SUPPLIES i i �� i HAVE ARRIVED c TREES SHRUBS PLANTS 1 it i FERTILIZERS HERBICIDES i 1 i 1, i CarrolI's Landscaping & Garden Centre 1 BLDG. 16 VANASTRA 15191 482-9565 : i ,,,,..,,..„,„,„,..„....,..........,......................--.......--........-...-------..----.,----( •S Tremendous Film "UNFINISHED TASK" DRAMATIC FILM FOR TODAY—ABOUT TODAY Huron Men's Chapel, Auburn- 8 P.M.

The Empty Pew BY W. JENE MILLER It's wierd, man; it's weird -as the drop-out generation might say. i mean, God gave us this great capacity to enjoy our own bodies and I figured he meant us to enjoy them. Well, one thing I really like to do is eat sweets, and I figure it is my body and I can use it to accumulate all sorts of pleasant experiences. So, I shopped around until I found a candy store and went in and started working there. 1 had a hard time finding the right one, however. The first one I went to had as good candy as anyone else, but they kept a pickle jar on the big counter by the cash register! Everytime 1 say those pickles it made me uncomfortable, so 1 left. The second one I went to was nice, and the people there were friendly, but the hours they kept disturbed my time to sleep, late, so i just sort of got out of the habit of going, and pretty soon 1 quit altogether. The third one I went to had the unmitigated gall to say if I was going to trade there I would have to help pay the bills and be regular and learn to like anyone who came in. Let me tell you I got out of there fast! The fourth one made me so mad 1 didn't even sit down in it! The first thing they handed me was not candy, as I asked for, but a toothbrush! Well, 1 just love this candy store 1 belong to now. No one pes!ers me with snide remarks of cost, and there is nothing in it but sweetness and fun! Next week I have my last dental surgery; and my physician says I can go home as soon as my weight and blood pressure are back to normal, so I can hope to handle most of my problems just staying home and taking pills. I'm still furious at that candy store administrator who said 'ar.,Jy and ait•ohol have the same ingredients, just differently arranged!

It would have been nice to win the crown, but everyone can't win and having won only two years ago, Blyth can afford to be a good loser. 'Vie team in many ways was a better one this year than the team that won the championship two years ago. The distance in skill between the best and least skilled players was far less than in the past. Coach Ted Williams, manager Charlie Bromley and the whole minor sports association should be congratulated on a fine job, ***** In fact the whole hockey program in Blyth has been one the town can be proud of in the' past year.

AGRICULTURAL TIDBITS WITH ADRIAN VOS Phil Durant, the chairman of the bean board has been much in the news lately, He opposes a new power station in bean growing areas because the inherent pollution causes diseases like bronzing in the beans, resulting in greatly reduc- ed yield and hence reduced income for the producer, When some consumer group wanted the consumer to have representation on marketing boards, Phil said, "When the big corporations, like GM, let their customers sit on the board of directors, we will do the same, Until then, nothing doing," When Mrs, Plumtre, of the food prices review board singled out the bean producers and asked for a two price system for beans, Mr. Durant asked why the farmer would have t0 subsidize the rest of society when no other industry is asked to do this, I have to agree with the bean board chairman on all counts and since it's so reasonable, one wonders why some people even dare suggest some of it and I'm sure my urban readers will agree also. ***** Those public relations people of the big corporations are very adept at shifting the blanc for increasing their profits on the farmer, For instance Kellogg's Mr, Robinson. His figures of course can't be challenged. He stated that the cost for corn in cornflakes went up by 73.8 per cent, True, but at the highest price paid to producers corn was only slightly over 51/2 cents per pound. A pound of corn flakes however costs 64 cents. How much then of this cost increase can be blamed Song service held at Huronview Members of the Christian; Women's Club held a song service in the Chapel on Sunday evening led by Mrs. Luther of Hensall, Volunteers from the Godcrich Township W.I. were at the Home on Monday afternoon to assist with the activities.

Behind the scenes, Governments as BY KEITH ROULSTON Ah government, What would we do without government to run down? I was listening to a radio commentator 'Sunday afternoon speaking on business and as usual, government was getting :the needle. The commentator was quoting figures that showed the Gross National Product (the total of all goods sold and all wages paid) increased over a certain period of time by more than 600 per cent, But during the same period, he pointed out, govern- ment spending had increased by 1100 per cent, or nearly twice that amount, and business profits had increased only 500 per cent, or about half the increase in government spending. The comentator was blasting the steady growth in government spending that was going to lead to ruin, according to him. Later the same day, I watched a television program on drugs in Canada in which the appeal, or even demand, was for the government to take greater control in testing the safety and usefulness of non-perscription drugs. That made it a typical Canadian day: one guy was saying the government was spending too much and another was demanding yet another service that was going to add more money to the tax bill. Since World War Two, Canad- ians have used the government as a sort of Alladin's Lanip - you rub your politician the wrong way three times and he pops up with a program to solve all your needs. We wanted free health care, so we got it. We wanted a national television network before any private group was able to provide it, so we got the CBC. We wanted railway service, so we asked the government to subsidize unecon- omical lines. We wanted good highways, so we demanded government provide it. And, in each and every case, we got our wish. And now, we get the bill, and we don't like it. Unlike the scapegoats magic geni, government has to pay its bills. dislike paying taxes about as much as anyone, especially this: time of the year with income taxes : nearly due, but I get a little burned up when I hear people talk in a sort of "them against us" : tone about the government, 'whether provincial, municipal or federal. One gets the impression listening to this line of talk that there is a sort of organized plot by politicians to spirit away all your money. You can almost get the picture of the M.P.s gloating over hdge piles of cash in the basement of the Parliament Buildings. But the money goes out as fast as it comes in, to meet the needs you think you.wanted. If we want the government to stop spending more money, then we will have to be ready to stop asking for more and more, Oh sure, some of the government expenses are caused by politic- 1 ians who dangle attractive pro- grams in front of our noses at election time, but for the most part, these programs are things the public has been agitating for for some time, Sooner or later there IS going to have to be a stop to government spending or the whole country will be being run by bureaucrats in Ottawa and Toronto, but that time will not come until we, the ordinary citizens, decide we're not going to ask the government , for more goodies, and we elect politicians who know that, Until then, we can continue to watch taxes go up, and we can blame only ourselves, Visitors abound in Westfield BY MRS.
