The Blyth Standard, 1974-05-01, Page 1tie standar BLYTH, ONTARIO. 15 CENTS ' VOLUME 84 • NO. 18 Getting the tour The Huron County Board of Education held open house at its new Clinton headquarters last Wednesday and Thursday to let the residents of Huron see the results of a renovation project completed last year. Among those being shown through the building by Robert Allen (left) of the administration are Hugh Flynn, (third from right( and Charles Scanlon (right( of Hullett township. --photo courtesy Clinton News -Record Blyth youth killed in motorcycle crash Sunday An early morning motorcycle accident Sunday killed one Blyth area resident and injured another. .bus Wayne Rammaloo of RR 3, Walln, just east of Blyth was killed when he was thrown from the motorcycle he was driving on Highway 4, about a half mile south of Blyth. A passenger on the vehicle, Paul Gross, age 20, of Blyth was injured. The accident took place about 6 a.m. on Sunday morning. The accident was discovered by two men from London who were passing by. The funeral service for the 17 year old son of Mr. and Mrs, Pierre Rammaloo was held from the Tasker Memorial Chapel, Blyth on Wednesday morning. Shortages in electrical equipment cause concern Ontario Hydro has appealed to develop- ers and industrial customers to provide the utility with earlier notification of planned new developments requiring transformers and other electrical equipment. Clinton Area Manager Walter Palmer explained that a world shortage of critical materials, particularly steel, is causing severe delays in deliveries of electrical equipment. "One area of particular local concern is the matter of upgraded farm services," Mr. Palmer said. "There will be delays in our ability to react to these service changes as promptly as we have in the past." Farmers planning service changes are asked to have their electrical contractor advise the local Hydro office of their plans, as early as possible. Where once manufacturers were able to supply transformers within a few days of - receiving an order, deliveries today may take as long as 40 weeks, said the Hydro official. "Unless customers can give us sulistantially more lead time," he said, "we can't provide them with the electrical equipment they need, on time." Manufacture of transformers is being held up both by a steel shortage and a scarcity of the special oil they use. In addition, the oil shortage has reduced the supply of plastics used for electrical insulation with the result that cable and wire can take up to six months to deliver. Wood poles are also in critically short supply. "Some 10,000 feet of damaged cable resulting from the recent tornado-like storm in Hibbert Township is being reclaimed for local use as guying material, rather than being scrapped," said Mr. Palmer. To meet the shortage in transformer oils, Ontario Hydro is investigating ways of reconditioning oils from old transformers so that they can be re -used in new transformers, Hydro is also making a concentrated effort to reclaim or rehabilitate worn-out equipment instead of simply selling or scrapping it, For example, when a transmission line is upgraded, the old conductor may have 20 years of remaining life and may be useable, 'Various reasons are given for the material shortages -- among them environmental demands that diverted some production to cleanup devices, inflation which created additional stimulus to demand and the excess capacity of 1970 and 1971. that discouraged the expansion that might have met.today's shortfall. i No accurate predictions can be made on when the steel shortage will ease, but is expected it will continue through 1974. WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1974. Septic tank inspections discussed BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Dr. Frank Mills, Huron's Medical Officer of Health, took time out Thursday morning at Huron County Council to outline the new regulations with regard to septic tank installation here. Private sewage disposal systems, regulated through the Environment Pro- tection Act of 1971, were taken out of the hands of' the Ministry of Health and placed under the authority of the Ministry of the Environment effective April 15, 1974. According to Dr. Mills, this date may have been somewhat premature in relation to Environment's readiness to assume responsibility. "There is an awful lot of confusion," said Dr. Mills, "but we're trying to sort through it." Until April 29, ratepayers in Huron who sought a septic tank installation permit, found themselves "in limbo" since Huron's officials could not issue permits and the London office was not prepared to do so either. Now, however, the Health Unit in Huron does have a limited supply of forms - and the local MOH has been given temporary authority to sign permits for residents. Dr. Mills said an agreement between Environment and the local health unit has been signed by Huron officials and ratified by the Environment. He said some counties have chosen not to sign the agreement with Environment, but he said he believed Huron did well to sign the agreement and retain the local inspections. "'I he Health Unit staff will make every effort to make this transition smoothly, so the public does not suffer," promised the MOH. There arc 10 steps to be followed from the time permit application is made until the system is approved for use. "As long as the applicant is a good reader, he should have no problem," said Dr. Mills who praised the application forms and their intent. Septic tank permits - necessary to install, repair or change in any fashion - will cost $15. Lot approval in certain instances will cost $10. Penalties for violation call for fines of up to $1,000. "The aim is to make it as thorough as possible," said Dr. Mills who estimated it would take about one month for his department to "fumble our way" through this new system. He also promised an assessment of costs to the Health Unit for this new service, after three months. Reeve Ed Oddleifson, Bayfield, asked how long this temporary authority would last for Dr. Mills to act as local director for Environment. Dr. Mills replied that as long as permits are issued by the Health Unit according to the guidelines set down by Environment, the present system could "stay indefinitely". But Environment does reserve the right to make changes at any time, Dr. Mills added. The MOH also suggested that an office of the Environment should be set up in the county. Headquarters for Lambton and Huron is' Sarnia. The next closest office is Owen Sound, Reeve Everett Mcllwain, Goderich Township, said that if the county asks for an office in Huron, don't let's complain about the increase of civil servants in the province". Dr. Mills said in his view, a Huron office would entail splitting the present staff in Sarnia between the two offices, Reeve McIlwain said that wasn't the way it usually ended up however, and felt a Huron office would necessitate substanti- ally more employees. Blyth education bill up $2000 BY WILMA OKE The levies for the elementary and secondary panels to be paid to the Huron County Board of Education for 1974 by the 26 municipalities in Huron County was released Friday. It shows an increase for all municipalities. The budget of $13,185,831, passed at a special meeting Monday indicated an increase of 9.24 per cent over last year and will mean an overall increase of 2.2 mills in the tax rate for Huron ratepayers. Municipal taxes will raise $3,091,559 while provincial government grants will total $9,426,000 and tuition fees and school rentals will raise $612,784. The tax levies to he raised from each municipality with the 1973 figures in brackets arc: Clinton, $124,467 ($11c),950); Exeter, $187,532 (5170,598); Goderich, $435,567 ($397,901); Seaforth, $83,759 ($77,864); Wingham, $153,875 ($142,882); Bayfield, $45,188 ($40,752); Blyth, $28,014 ($25,832) Brussels, $35,332 (532,074); Hensall, $61,710 ($54,900); and Zurich, $26,056 ($24,370. The townships of Ashfield, $146,821 ($124,632); Colborne, $89,896 ($84,040); Goderich, $129,203 ($120,099); Grey, $112,461 ($107,832); Hay, $170,354 ($161,036); Howick, $146,116 ($138,779); Hullett, $105,417 ($98,367); McKillop, $89,210 ($66,780); Morris, $84,071 ($80,789); Stanley, $128,581 ($124,030); Stephen, $211,174 ($197,439); Tuckersmith $167,386 ($158,184); Turnberry, $66,579 ($63,204); Usborne, $107,827 ($103,280); East Wawanosh, $68,660 ($65,687); and West Wawanosh, $54,303 ($48,655). Stores open Friday night Blyth merchants will resume their summer hours beginning Friday night. The stores will be open until 9:30 every Friday evening during the spring and summer months for the convenience of those who find it hard to shop during the day time. Jail committee gets county reps. BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER In a brief session of Huron County Council Thursday, April 25 approval was given by the Executive Committee for three members of Huron County Council to be members on the Historical Building Committee. This committee, comprised mainly of persons interested in the preservation of the former Huron County Jail and finding some use for it, has its first meeting this week. The county's representatives on that committee will be the Warden, this year Bill Elston; the chairman of the executive committee, this year Doug McNeil; and the chiarman of the property committee, this year Harold Wild. Reeve Wild told council the Humn County Branch of the Architectdral Conservancy is actually the former Save the Jail Society. He said in his opinion, the group has "honest intentions". "The least we can do is to give them a chance to see what they can come up with," said Reeve Wild. There was considerable discussion throughout the day concerning the Executive Committee's choice of repre- sentatives on the committee • particularly because none of the three was committed to the jail project. However, it was decided the "continuity" of the Historical Building Committee should come from the non -elected people on it and that the Warden and the two committees chairmen were the best choices of council. in other business, council learned that a new librarian has been appointed and will assume his new duties August 12. W. Partridge will replace Miss Ethel Dewar as county librarian when she retires this summer. His salary will be $13,500 until the end of 1974 when it will be increased to $14,500. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 1, 1974 Clinton announces early schedule .for centennial Tentative plans for Clinton's large Centennial celebrations next year were unveiled at a general meeting of the Centennial Committee recently. Program chairman Don Kay told about a dozen persons who attended the meeting that the big week for the Centennial is planned from July 26 to August 4, 1975. Mr. Kay outlined tentative plans for the ten day event, to be held the week before and the weekend of the Civic Holiday. The Centennial celebrations week would be kicked off with an air force reunion weekend on July 26 and 27 and would include a drumhead service. July 28 has been set aside as hospitality night with local entertainment, July 29 has been designated as a square dance night. A band tatoo and a fireworks display would feature the July 30 celebrations and July 31 would see the Metropolitan Police Choir and a dance. August I has been set aside for 0 back to school clay for all Clintonians and former Clinton- ians to visit the schools, with a Ball Room dance in the evening. The Centennial parade has been tentatively scheduled for August 2 with a beef barbecue that Saturday night, ball tourna- ments and two teen dances. An interdenominational service is being planned for August 3 by the Clinton Ministerial Associa- tion. The final of the Centennial Pace is also planned for that afternoon at the Clinton Raceway. A farewell brunch is planned for the Civic Holiday Monday with the Christian Reformed Church in charge. Mr. Kay said that this was only a skeleton of the events he hoped to see planned and he hoped that many service clubs and other organizations in town would conte forward with ideas to flesh out the week. THIS 'N' THAT Boys undertake big project BY R.W. You've heard about walk-a- thons and bike -a -thous and marathon dancing and skate-a- thons and even kiss-a-thons, but some Blyth boys are planning to come up with something really new in June. Leslie Cook and Rob Burkhold- er are planning a wheelbarrow marathon from Blyth to London in Jane to raise money for Blyth recreation programs. They plan to take turns pushing and riding and make the, trip in about four days. It's quite an undertaking but who would bet against them, They arc presently accepting nledees for the event. Thev arc EUCHRE Twelve tables were in play Monday night at the weekly Blyth euchre held in the Memorial Hall. High lady was Mrs. Sid McCullough; lone hands, Mrs. R. Marks; low lady, Mrs. Rena Watt; high man, Miss Pearl 'i'hamer (playing as a man); lone hands, Russel MacDonald; low man, Mrs. Stanley Glousher (playing as a man). There will be another euchre game next Monday night. along the route if anyone in th► arca between Clinton and Londot could offer a bed to two very tired young nen for a night. ***** If you arc a young couple going to get married in June or during the summer, you could be in the' news, The Standard is planning a special bridal edition for later this month and would like to feature a local engaged couple in the edition.

It left your hero asleep in a small hotel in a small town in Germany, Lahr, home of most of the Canadian Nato forces in Europe, Up betimes, after 14 hours sleep, and tottered down to the dining -room, smelling for coffee. Hadn't eaten for 16 hours. And it was there, sipping a coffee and cognac, in an effort to get the bones moving, that my crazy kid brother, the Colonel, found nic at 7:30 a.m. We exchanged our usual fond greet- ings. Him: "Hello, you clot. Just up? Supposed to be on our way." Me: "Hello, clot. Yes, Who cares? I'm dying," Him: "You're getting a little thin on top, like Dad." Me: "You're getting a little thick in the middle, like Mum." The contrast between us was never clearer. He was spic and span, gold braid gleaming, fresh -shaven, full of beans, ready to hit the road for !Ornstein, his base. 1 was in a rumpled flannel shirt, sock feet, unwashed, unshaven, uncombed and ready to hit him for showing up so early. He's always like that. And I'm always like that. He comes flying out of nowhere, talks a blue streak, tells a hundred stories and goes dashing off to somewhere. come dawdling out of somewhere, sit around as taciturn as a turtle, and go dawdling off to nowhere, He's a hustler; I'm a poke. Perhaps that's why he's a colonel and I'm more of a kernel. Anyway, it's a great combin- ation to throw together for a three-day crash course on Ger- many - a hustler and a poke. I must say we didn't have a cross word in those three days. Although I admit I thought he was going to have a baby when he came to pick me up for lunch with the Commander -in -Chief, a four- star general, and found me still in bed. That was at 11:30; lunch at twelve noon sharp. "And you don't keep generals waiting and we have fifteen miles to drive." We made it with 19 seconds to spare. And he wasn't exactly chortling when we started off to catch the plane home and after we'd driven Flower show planned .The Society met at Mrs. Wm. Carter's home on Monday, April 29. Seventeen members ans- wered the roll call by naming their favourite flower. The annual meeting for District 8 was held in Owen Sound, April 20. Those attending from Blyth were: Mr, and Mrs. Wm. Carter, Mr. and Mrs. Calvert Falconer, Mrs. Luella McGowan, Mrs.fern Howatt, mrs. Emerson Wright, Mrs. Edith Logan, mrs. M. Richmond. Mrs. Carter presided over the business of the meeting. Mr. Wm. Carter accepted the job of park caretaking due to the resignation of the' former care- taker, Mr. John Hesselwood, The Society voted in favour of holding a flower show Tuesday, August 27 open to anyone wishing to participate. Mrs. Annie McNichol and Mrs. Luella McGowan to attend the convention in Niagara, June 12, 13, 14 as delegates. The meeting closed with a delicious lunch being served by Ella and Nancy Carter. I met a lady in her nightie like a bat out of hell for 10 minutes, I observed, "Gracious to goodness, I've left all my money in your apartment; we'll have to go back," He didn't say a word but there was steam coming out of his ears, and 1 think he lost a fair bit of enamel off his molars, But that was later. Let's go back to Lahr, where I left you breathless to read what would happen next. There we are. He is hustling me out of the hotel and i am dawdling and poking in his wake, Lahr is something of a company town, with the Canadian forces as the "company". The town itself has about 17,000 people, plus 12,000 Canadians on the perip- hery. A big industry for the town. There arc about 5,000 Can- adians in the military. The rest are made up of families, teachers, and assorted odds and sods. Canadian forces there make a real effort to get along with the German community and are closely knitted with it. Interest- ingly, the Canadians do all their dealings in German marks, while the Americans, at their bases, deal in U.S. dollars. At Lahr, the Canadians publish a lively daily newspaper, Der Kanadier; have their own chur- ches; excellent schools; and sports facilities galore. But of course, it isn't home. And the troops never forget that they are there on serious business, not on a European holiday. 1 received an impression perhaps wrong, that the Canadian forces feel that they are some- what forgotten, that the folks at home -are rather apathetic about the boys in dark green, the "violent, obedient ones" out there on the periphery with guns. This is not exactly assuaged by the heavy cuts in our armed forces in Europe. These have been cut approximately in two from 10,000 to 5,000, The land forces are down from a brigade to a brigade -group. The air arm has been whittled from twelve squad- rons in 1954 to three squadrons of attack fighters in 1974. This hurts, if you are in the service. But morale is high, despite the ancient Centurion tanks, and we have cracking good troops in the front line, made up of tanks, commandos and infan- try. in the air, we have, to quote a well-informed source (my bro- ther), "The best pilots in Europe", and he means it, with no blarney. They are all fighters, and they have a vital role called "first attack". MOre of this later. But let's get back to Lahr, and get on with this wretched trip of mine. My brother is now hustling me into his car. The town is pretty with spring flowers everywhere, a change from blizzards. There is a branch of the Bank of Montreal, And there is Jack Thomson and his wife. He's a first cousin of ours. They !live in Winnipeg. It could happen (only to me, I fly 4,000 miles to ,svour the ancient hostelries, 'cathedrals and castles of old Germany, and I wind up sitting at a kitchen table taking and drinking with a cousin I've met THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 1, 1974, PG. 3. once before in niy life, i don't think we'll make it to (Ornstein, destination, but we'll have a try next week.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 1, 1974. Editorials How many times must the battle be fought? The many supporters of the restoration of Blyth Memorial Hall must be wondering how many times the battle must be fought these days. Last fall, after protracted debate, the decision was apparently made by village council to proceed with repairs to the roof of the building without which the theatre is useless. All that was left to be done, it seemed then, was to let the tenders and get the work done, Yet here we are, with another summer fast approaching and the council isproceed.Thanksto again wavering on�or not the , c.ruig whether to delays over the winter caused by one thing or another, it may already be impossible to have the building repaired this summer. Contractors are booked well in advance already for other projects and may not be able to find the time for this one. Supplies are also hard to come by. 1t is quite concciveable that the whole project could now be delayed for another year. During that time the costs are likely to have increased again. And whose to say the council will be any more ready to proceed with the project in another year than they are now, This whole thing has been dragged out so long it's ridiculous. It was two years ago this July that a group of volunteers first set out to put the old hall back in shape so it could be used, Since then one local government agency or another has tied the project up in endless red tape. They have told people they can't use the hall until it is fixed but shown little interest in actually fixing it, Once council again the seems g cl ee is to be hesitant because of the cost of the project and because of the supposed opposition among some of the public. But where is this opposition? Why hasn't it appeared in public? When a chance was given for people to vote for or against the issue through the Standard last fall more than 30 ballots were turned in for the project and only o>te against. The opposition so far has only been rumours, As for cost, every day of delay drives the cost higher. Frankly the whole thing has become a farce. It seems the battle must now be fought all over again. Those who want to see the hall repaired should make sure members of the council know their thinking before next Monday night's council meeting. Those who are against the repairs, should also state their 'case. It's time for action right now, or there's a good chance the decision will still be being kicked around this time next year. Political jockeying Everything of any importance that happened in Canada these days seems to be regarded by the politicians in Ottawa in terms of what it will mean in the case of a federal election this year. Last week saw important segments of the national economy virtually shut down because of a number of strikes, and the government tip -toed through the political tulips on Parliament Hill trying not to offend anyone who might be important in an upcoming election. Though many of the strikes were illegal, they took no action, perhaps trying to hold the support of the labour -backed New Democratic Party as long as possible. 11 was pretty shabby treatment for the vast majority of the rest of the Canadians who saw their pension cheques tied up in the mail or saw their business virtually cease because of the lack of mail service. But though the Liberals looked bad, who looked much better? The N.D.P. was mysteriously silent over the rights of the 99.9 per cent of Canadians who had nothing to gain in the strikes and all to lose, Bob Stanfield and the Conservatives were busy jockeying, looking for the best way to embarrass the government over the issue and thus gain votes, so they never really did take a stand except to demand that the government do something...far be it from them to go out on a limb and suggest what. It seems that in the troublesome times we face we most need a leader and that's what we least have. We have instead three power hungry politicians who care only that they win votes in the next election and couldn't give a darn about the man in the street.. Let's see the whole carrot Regional policing for Huron county is slowly moving from the idea stage toward an issue that will have to be accepted or rejected. The issue is slowly gaining momentum, pushed by a recent government study recommending the abolition of many small police forces in Inc province. One of the first fears of people in the county of course will be cost, and almost certainly it is going to mean an increase in cost for most people in the county. We are, however, facing increased crime rates in cities and this will be likely moving into our area as time goes by. A more efficient police force can perhaps head off some of the problems we may encounter and so the extra cost may be worth it. For smaller centres like Blyth and the other villages, county policing can be a big step forward, if the system is set up properly. Under present government regulations, Blyth could not have its own police force unless it wanted to hire at least two men. Yet the need is not great enough for two nen in the village itself and the taxpayer of the village could not afford the bill. Under a county system, however, two of the new members of the police force who will be hired could be stationed in Blyth with radio connections with the other detachments of the police force in the county. They would use Blyth as a base from which to patrol the surrounding townships and smaller villages. Under such a set up, the new department could be of great benefit, It will be worthless, however, if the force ends up having detachments only in the towns like Clinton, Seaford) and Wingham and only sent! patrols to the other villages in the county. This would mean no improvement in the present service being given at present by the Ontario Provincial Police. ANd the cost, of course, would be much higher. Luckily, if the county legislators proceed with the reorganization themselves, we have a much better chance to have the smaller centres well represented than if the organizing was done by the province. We also feel that Blyth, at least, among the villages has a strong voice and that there is a growing understanding with the surrounding townships that we must look at reorganization on a community orientecl basis. in short, the cost may be higher but county policing may be the answer to many problems...if it is set up properly. .,y 2 :`}y1';•',?�,tin}:;%•{}:;+y�},-•: };.?...:.r...r •� ,\,,.yv,•?.}:{.�;.}, •?;}:; 'vR{4}a{ii �:•Y:;:;a�a}Yr}�};.{'vS:S;?v \ay�M1v?�Y♦♦,0,:,2•�.''r �:L "v,• \•.}..{.

N.v }•::.:: Letter to the editor Dear Sir: In last week's paper you printed a letter from Mr, Mason Bailey, a real estate agent from Clinton about the abundance of food we have, and WE do, But when he started on peoples who don't live on our continent i submit that he's dead wrong. He admits that people in India .are starving unless they have money, thereby intimating that if there was enough money there would be enough food. That is a very doubtful supposition, for if there was enough food it would not be so expensive that only the rich can buy enough of it. Also he conveniently forgets the hund- reds of thousands of African people who are dying right now from starvation, Sure, they have no money either and there is still !enough food in the world today to feed every person if transport- ; ation and the division of money was better. But the world wheat supply is estimated by the United Nations to be down to one month by the end of August. The population of the world will be double what it is now in a mere 35 years, What happens then? Contrary to what Mr, Bailey says. there arc food shortages right now in parts of the world and impending food shortages in all the world, even here, for it is very shortsighted if we think that the world will stand idly by, seeing their people starve while we indulge ourselves. Regardless of the arguments of real estate What others say The representatives from Hur- on County who attended the seminar last week on restructur- ing were extremely cautious about the way in which restruct- uring is to be approached here, Who can blame them? Regional government is not only a sure way to put oneself out of office, It is proven to be expensive supremely expensive, 1n the Region of Waterloo, costs increased in the first year by 36 per cent, according to figures presented by some provincial government members, In North Dumfries, costs were up 120 per cent and in the City of Waterloo alone, 82 per cent! That's not small potatoes! In Georgian Bay Township, one farmer's taxes went from $106 to $496 in one year when the Muskoka Region was formed. While this is perhaps a dramatic exception to the rule, it is also true that costs have soared in Ottawa -Carlton and Niagara. So, local elected people are cautious - not only at the possibility of losing their elected positions but also at the very real danger of having to live with burdensome high costs for no more municipal services than presently enjoyed, it was refreshing, however, to learn that many, many county residents and most particularly elected officials feel that some loris of restructuring within the county is a must. When one looks around Huron, it is easy to see that this county is well on the way to a type of regional concept which is bene- ficial to all, Here in Huron, many services are already under county jurisdiction - health, welfare, library, planning, development, There could be more - roads, recreation, fire, police. But strictly speaking, Huron is moving toward goals which are attained through regionalizing - but with considerably less friction and cost. The question remains though. Will the citizens of Huron County be able to co-operate successfully without some sort of government mediator? Some impartial judge? It has been relatively simple to slowly, slowly amalgamate ser- vices, But will it be easy to phase out municipalities and break down barriers? Will the people developers, we have • to do everything in our power 10 preserve food producing land. If new cities are to be built, it should be in NOrtber•n Ontario in non-agricultural areas even if it costs more and is more conven- ient. if the highways, airfields, cities etc. were built on land that lies under thorns trees there would be no objection, but that seldom is the case. The ability of farmers to increase their efficiency as in the past is severely hampered by oil shortages, whence the fertilizer cones from. I agree with M r. Bailey that impulse has ovcrconu his better judgement. •Yom's truly, •Adrian Vos. -Blyt' accept changes which will threat en their own personal little kingdoms?

PG. 5 federal government, Consumer and Com- mercial Affairs Minister John Clement said this week. Mr. Clement said the best type of warranty would be enforced by the construction industry itself. Liberal financial critic James Breithaupt delivered a major attack on Treasurer John White's new budget scorning it for wild spending and a deficit that will feed the fires of inflation. He said a Committee of the Legislature should be set up as a provincial prices review board which could recommend price rollbacks to the House. Government spending will increase in the current fiscal year by an even $1 billion to $8.3 billion with a deficit of $625 million. Mr. Breithaupt said that by the end of the fiscal year the Government of William Davis will have added more than $2 billion to the public debt in four years. He said annual interest payments on the debt have already jumped by 177 per cent to $674 million this year. He continued by saying the Ontario Government cannot slow the inflationary spiral in the provincial economy until it can find the courage to control the inflation of its own expenditures. The Ontario Government will increase its spending on cultural activities by one third The Arabs keep cold war alive The Arab cold war is an old term which has—suddenly and for perhaps the first time --acquired true relevance. For Egypt and Saudi Arabia are going out of their way to pick a fight witht he Soviet Union. The other Arab states arc being obliged to take up sides, and at first blush it looks like clean-up time for the United States. But it is a deep question whether Washington should court a showdown with Moscow here in the Middle East for the sake of President Sadat and King Faisal. The Egyptian president, of course, has been the leading actor in the Arab cold war. The sun never seems to set on the Nile without Sadat slamming the Russians at least once in an interview with the American or German or Lebanese press. King Faisal has not been so public in his thrusts against the Soviet Union. But he and President Sadat have been working hand in hand ever since the October war. President Sadat and King Faisal have solid reasons for lining up against Moscow. Both men have long personal histories of antipathy toward the Communists. By stressing the anti-Communist theme now, they can embarrass other Arab regimes and movements which have in the past taken shots at the regimes in Cairo and Riyadh. Indeed, Libya, Iraq and the more radical Syrians and Palestinians are already feeling the heat. A casual glance suggests that the United States has everything to gain and nothing to lose from the anti-Communist campaign being waged by the Egyptians and Saudis. For one thing, there is a lot of good in the current fiscal year. Libraries, museums, galleries and artistic organizations will get hefty increases in their operating grants from the Province. A new emergency loan programme for Ontario students and more money for existing student aid programmes were announced by James Auld, Minister of Colleges and Universities. Students who need emergency funds and cannot get them from parents or under the" Ontario Student Assistance Programme will receive up to $500 through chartered banks payable within 2 years at 10 per cent interest. business to be done in the Near East. Still, there is a limit to how far the Egyptians and Saudis can usefully squeeze the Russians. If faced. with a total shutout in the Near East, the Russians could work on the Palestinians or the Syrians to prevent any settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict. On balance, accordingly, the U.S. needs to be wary in following the Egyptian and Saudi lead down the anti-Communist path here in the Near East •The Toronto Star. The nation, Canadian professors ask for regulation of U.S. magazines BY RON LOWMAN Two Carleton University professors suggest in a new book that if the Canadian government isn't going to lick Tinie and Reader's Digest, it should join 'em. How? By demanding 75 per cent Canadian ownership, plus a Canadian majority of officers and directors, While Health Minister Marc Lalonde threatens jail for World Football League invaders, Christopher Maule and Isaiah Litvak are blowing the whistle on the two magazines. The professors of economics and international affairs echo the 1970 recommendations of the Senate Committee on the Mass Media and others about the U.S.-owned magazines, which have special status for income-tax purposes in Canada. Maule and Litvak suggest Canadian- ization of the two publications might be handled like bank ownership, or television content. Under the Bank Act, no more than 25 per cent of the capital stock in a bank may be held by non-residents, and no more than 10 per cent by any individual and his associates. Canadian content in CBC -TV is required to be 60 per cent under Canadian Radio -Television Commission regulations. For private TV it's 50. The professors' book, Cultural Sover- eignty: The Time and Reader's Digest Case in Canada (B urns and McEachern, $15), is a scholarly dissection that won'.t make any best-seller list, including the celebrated one in Time. The main bone of contention is that Time and Reader's Digest are exempt from a law which says the cost of advertising aimed at Canadians in non -Canadian periodicals cannot be deducted from the advertiser's income tax. Place an ad in either magazine and it's deductible, The result has been that the two have sucked up available advertising dollars like giant vacuum cleaners. Their massive advantage lies in access through their U.S. parent magazines to vast pools of low-cost editorial material, which is simply packaged as a Canadian product. The Canadian version of Time, for example, usually has four or five pages.of Canadian articles. The rest is U.S. and international material prepared in the U.S. Paradoxically, in 1968, three years after special income-tax legislation had given the • two magazines their domestic privileges, the Liberal government amend- ed the Post Office Act and designated them non -Canadians, thus reducing their mail- ing -cost subsidies. Even so, the Post Office estimates that the Canadian taxpayer still had to make up a deficit of nearly $3 million in mailing costs for them in 1972. This was part of a total of $11 million that year, caused by the fact that incoming mail to Canada is far greater than the outgoing volume. Receiving countries are responsible for the delivery of mail once it crosses the border'. In their book, Litvak and Maule consider three policy options: No change, removal of the special tax status, or Canadianization. The first they reject on grounds tha the that the mass media should be considered a key sector of the economy. The second option they endorse, on grounds that removing the special income-tax status would make competition more equitable, strengthen existing Canadian magazines and promote the entry of new ones. "This recommendation would merely establish consistency in Canadian policy toward the mass media," the professors say. But they add: "Its rejection by successive Canadian governments in recent years suggests to us that, for various political reasons, it is unlikely to be implemented." The third option', Canadianization, would be aimed at exploiting the presence of the two magazines to the greater bnefit of Canada. The assumption is that greater Canadian ownership would assure greater Canadian influence on the editorial policies of the magazines. Guidelines for Canadian content are recommended to ensure that Canadian cultural and political interests are adequately promoted, and events reported from a Canadian perspective. Stephen LaRue, Time Canada president, commented that the difficulty lies in deciding what is "Canadian perspective." LaRue, who hadn't read the book when , asked for comment, said he doesn't know of any place in the world "where the press is controlled on content, or type of management." • LaRue said Time is "an American magazine with substantial and responsible Canadian content." He labelled as nonsense the professors' suggestion that Canadian Radio -Television Commission regulations be applied -- "55 per cent of all copy to be basically Canadian in content and authorship." From Montreal, Reader's Digest Canad- ian president E.P. Zimmerman said he didn't think ownership, as such, could make any company Canadian. "If the board has a majority of Canadians, that's where the action lies," he said, "Our Canadian board is Canadian and is increasing the Canadianization of the magazine." Of Maule and Litvak's statement that Reader's Digest has alreadsy gone part way toward satisfying ownership criteria, with 30 per cent of its stock held by Canadians, Zimmerman said the figure is now 32 per cent traded on Toronto and Montreal exchanges. Zimmerman said: "Every line in Reader's Digest is edited for Canadians, whether it's international material • 60 to 75 per cent - or Canadian - 25 to 30." Reader's Digest was incorporated in Canada in 1943 and in the same year Time began printing a special Canadian edition in Chicago. It now prints in Montreal and Vancouver. In 1948, the two accounted for 18 per cent of all the advertising revenue of 12 major magazines in Canada. By 1955, the figure was 37 per cent. Last year, of total advertising revenue of $35,252,114 to 12 members of the Magazine Association of Canada, Time and Reader's Digest cornered more than 48 per cent. The source for these latest figures is the association, which Reader's Digest was instrumental in forming and of which Time is also a member. What is the federal government thinking or doing now? An aide to Secretary of State Hugh Faulkner, whose portfolio embraces publishing, said the situation "is being studied" by the department and that recommendations will eventually be made on magazine ownership and advertising regulations. One of the ironies of the Litvak-Maule book is that it was published by Praeger of New York, Washington and London, as part of special studies in international politics and government. "We tried some Canadian publishers," said Maule, "but onw wanted a more controversial discussion of the issue and another wanted to illustrate it with comic strips." It's good old Archie Bunker (Carroll O'Connor). and his wife Edith (Jean Stapleton), and for once all seems serene in the Bunker household. All In The Family, seen Fridays on CBC -TV at 8:30 p.m., portrays the family life of Archie, TV-Iand's funniest bigot, and his long-suffering wife, daughter and son-in-law, PG. 6.

"Concern was repeatedly expressed at the (public) meet- ings that municipal and/or THIS WEEK from Ottawa 4,000 NEW GRAIN CARS The Minister responsible for the Canadian Wheat Board, Otto Lang, announced that the federal government has ordered 4,000 hopper cars at a cost of more than $100 million to help establish a first-class grain -moving operation in Canada. Mr. Lang said this latest move is in keeping with a commitment made by Prime Minister Trudeau and by 'transport Minister Jean Marchand last summer in Calgary at the Western Economic Opport- unities Conference. The federal government will also pay halt' the cost of repairing .2.400 boxcars to be returned to Western grain service. FISHING REDUCTION Canada will ask the Govern- ment of the Soviet Union to cut back its fishing operations in the Gulf of Alaska to prevent further depletion of already low halibut stocks. "The halibut stocks are already in a sorry state," Fisheries Minister Jack Davis said. "The blank lies with the foreign fishing fleets, especially that of the Haggitt dies CHARLES HAGGITT Word was received here last Friday that Charles Haggitt, a former resident 01' Blyth, had passed away in April 25th at Concord, California. He had been declining in health for the past three years. Born in Blyth Mr. Haggitt was the son of the late Frederick and Elizabeth .1ane (Fraser) Haggitt. He attended Blyth Public School and while still quite young the family moved to California, For 20 years Mr. Haggitt was clerk of the Municipal Court of Fresno, California. Besides his wife, Maxine, he leaves two grandsons and his sister Yvonne, Mrs. Carlyle Bennett of Salinas, California. His only daughter predeceased him seven years ago. A Memorh.l Service was held in Fresno. Soviet Union." Continued concentrated fishing in the area will adversely affect the catches of Canadian fisher- men when the season opens May 17.

"Farmland has been continu- ally treated as an endless resource. It is obvious that farmland is not unlimited in total quantity and is particularly limited in productive quality." Farmers urged: "To prohibit or control the entry of nonfanlily corporate owners whose prime activity is not the production of agricultural products, but which may be a method of marketing their principal products through a system of conversion into agri- cultural products." In other words, feed companies raising livestock in order 10 market their food. I presume it could include canning companies who raise their own chickens and veget- ables in order to supply their manufacturing facilities. The growing of agricultural 1)roducts then becomes secondary. The report also attacks rural residential ownership, Having a residence among farmers inflates prices and thus assessment for the real farmer, and it reduces food producing Fuld as well as creating problems with fences and noxious weeds. It creates demand for services not needed by the farmer thus increasing his cost of taxation and the odour problems from close proximity to livestock buildings.

MAY 1, 1974, PG, 7. From the Minister's Study PASTOR ALFRED FRY In the Gospel of St. John, chapter 20, verse 24, we read that 'Thomas was not with them when Jesus carne. This has reference to the gathering in The Upper Room, of the friends of.Icsus, a few days after His Resurrection. When the women had found the stone rolled away from the tomb, they also met Jesus The Risen Lord, He told then) to tell the Disciples, and that He would see therm in a little while. The followers of Jesus gathered in The Upper Room, their meeting place, they locked the doors for fear of the Jews, and were praising God in song and prayer, Suddenly .)esus appeared in their midst, this was the first reunion of the Christian Church. When 'Thomas had bccn told of The Risen Lord, he said "1 will not believe it unless I can place niy linger into the nail prints", He was a doubter. Because of unbelief there was a vacant seat at that reunion, Thomas was riot with the rest when Jesus came. 'Thomas missed both the joy and the blessing which came to that gathering. After this meeting the others told Thomas about the Lord's appearing with the result that Thomas made sure that he was present at the next meeting a few days later. Again Jesus appeared, this time 1 -ie went to Thomas, saying be not faithless but believing, reach in your finger into the nail prints. Thomas was convinced and exclaimed "My Lord and My God". Every Sabbath, God has ordained a Christian reunion, after a busy week. Paul says in Hebrews 10, verse 25, Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together as the manner of some is, He is speaking to the Christian Church. When this weekly reunion takes place, there are many a vacant seat in the house of God, many through doubt of God's word, many are plain careless, many because of sheer indifference to the claims of Christ. People who are away from the Sabbath services, just like Thomas, miss the joy and the blessing which comes to all believers when we gather for praise and fellowship. When we ignore the Christian Church, we can crucify the Son of God afresh. Thomas needed Christ, we all need Christ, without Him we cannot live, and without Him we dare not die. Someday there will conic the final reunion, when Chirst will return for 1 -lis own if we continue to doubt and thus refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Saviour, we will have no part in that final reunion.

This is what Ontario is doing to see that you get your chance. rejitk iii The government here in Ontario believes that no one should ever be deprived of a higher education simply for lack of money. And, we're doing something about it ...through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). OSAP consists of government - financed loans and grants designed to help qualified Canadian citizens and landed immigrants pay for their higher education. And they are based on need, not on academic achievement. The loans are interest-free until 6 months after graduation, and repay- ments don't begin until then. The grants don't normally have to be repaid at all. Already, 2 out of 5 students at Ontario universities and community colleges receive some form of financial assistance from OSAP. If you would like to know what assistance is available, how to apply for it, and how much you may be qualified to receive, contact the Student Awards Officer at the institution of your choice.

SPORT TALK BY SANDY Canadians, it would seem, are in a nice position with the proposed Team Canada vs. Russia hockey series coming up this fall. The last time we went through a grave crisis when it looked like our team might lose to the Russians. This time, however, we have a comfortable position with the World Hockey Association playing the Russians. If the team loses we can fall back on the excuse that, well, these aren't our best players anyway, If they win, we can be happy and point out that it was players from a second-rate team that beat the Russians, Here's one that wouldn't bet against the WHA team winning. For one thing, the top 25 players in the WHA aren't really below the par of the palyers who made up the original Team Canada, especially if the new deserters like Ken Dryden, Frank Mahovolich and Paul Henderson are added. For another, there will be no over -confidence this time and the players should be training extra hard knowing the importance of good conditioning. And for the third, the team will have probably a superior coach this time out in the person of Billy Harris whose international coaching experience with the Swedish team means he knows just what to expect. if the right players are chosen, here's one bet that this team will do at (east as well as the last team. **** We've heard a lot of talk about dirty play in minor hockey in the past couple of weeks, But what would you call the actions that caused a lucknow player to be handed a. suspension by the W,O.A.A, recently. Seems he spit at someone. Now is that dirty or clean? Blyth 4-H club meets BY KAREN RICHMOND On Monday, April 17, Blyth 111 441 club met at Mrs. 0. Richmond's. The meeting opened with the 4-H pledge.

For the demonstration, Mrs. Richmond demonstrated a dye and hair set on Karen Richmond, a short cut and blow drying on Margaret Phelan and a trim for long hair on Kathy Street and Diane McDougal. The meet- ing closed with the 4-H motto, The Blyth Glamour Girls held their seventh meeting on April 24 at Mrs. Richamond's. The girls opened with the 4-H pledge followed by the roll call "The type of hair i have and how I will care for it." Kathy Street read the minutes of the previous meeting.

Burke McNeill, horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, suggests staking the job nulclt easier by pruning in the early spring before the leaves appear. '"Cutting out older wood while the plant is dormant allows you to sec what you are doing. without looking through leaves," Most flowering shrubs do best if the older stents or canes are removed, This opens up the plant, letting the air circulate and allowing new canes to develop. 'i'hese new, more vigorous stents provide excellent flowering wood for next season. The shrubs should be printed so that the natural shape of the bush is maintained, In some cases because of space restrictions, more drastic pruning may be necessary, But try to reduce the length of the stain stents rather than shearing theist back too Severely, COMING EVENTS NEW BINGO, CLINTON LEGION HALL 8:30 p.m. May 2, Admiss- ion,.$1.00 each.

Behind the scenes No voice for conservatives BY KEITH ROULSTON Pity the Canadian who holds conservative views in Canada these days. He's the kind of person who is irreverently called a "redneck" or a "hard hat" by the Liberal inuelligensia. He's the kind of guy who resents big government. He's for preserving many of the old ways of life. He's for small business and the rights of the individual. He's for free enter- prise. He's for a minimum of velfar^, health care and unem- ployment legislation, believing it is up to the individual to look after his own needs. He's also without a voice. The conservatives in the United States thought they had found a hero in Richard Nixon and in Spiro Agnew, only to find in both cases that they had been betrayed by ambitious greedy men who wanted only to use them to gain power. But conservatives in Canada don't even have a hope of finding a champion. We have three major political parties and not one of them has room in it for the right wing point of view. Our progressive Conservative, Liberal and New Democratic parties range from centre left to left -left in political thinking, and nowhere is there a place for the real conservative. Conservatism in Canada is just Westfield news BY MRS. CHAS SMITH Mr. and Mrs. George Howatt of Seaforth visited on Sunday with Mr, and Mrs. Edgar Howatt.

Dazzling Dolls meet BY JEANETTE MANNING The seventh meeting of the "Dazzling .Dolls" 4-H club was held at the home of Cathy Madill on Wednesday, April 17. The meeting opened with the pledge. The roll call was "the type of hair 1 have and how I will care for it". The discussion was on posture and body language. Four girls acted out different attitudes and the other girls guessed what they were. Two girls tried a whispe- ring game. Lunch was served and the meeting was closed with the pledge, On Wednesday, April 24 a work meeting was held in the home of Jeanette Manning. Books were completed, the skit was practiced and reservations were made for lunch at the Triple K restaurant, A lunch was served and the meeting was closed. not politically- popular, Anyone who expresses conservative opin- ions is quickly branded reaction- ary, bigoted and extremist and shoved to the bottom of the political heap. There is more acceptance in Canada for an extreme left-wing politician than there is for a moderately -right wing politician. Yet the right wing, whether one agrees with it or not, should have a voice in Canadian politics if we are to have a healthy political situation, The country is hit by a rash of illegal strikes and not one prominent politician raises his voice in anger. The three parties race to outdo each other in dangling liberal social welfare legislation before the Canadain voter and there is no political leader to argue against this increase in government growth and influence. The number of people employed by the federal and provincial governments con- tinues to mushroom, and no strong political voice is raised in protest, In short, without a strong right-wing political voice, there is no brake on the steady growth of bureaucracy and the nation will continue towards the point when only the big unions and the big multi -national companies will have the strength to battle government at all, and maybe even they will not be able to compete, ' 44 J 41,41141,441,411,4 J J ��,J,J.J.J..1 J .1.4 4.
