The Blyth Standard, 1974-05-08, Page 112 -unit senior citizens' apartment project approved for Blyth A 12 -unit senior citizens apartment project has been approved for the village of Blyth. The approval was contained in a letter from the Ontario Housing Corporation to the Village Council read at Monday night's council meeting. tie BLYTH, ONTARIO. 15 CENTS The survey showed that the population of Blyth had increased from 779 to 853 in the five years from 1968 to 1973 and the senior citizen proportion of the population had increased from 20.4 per cent in 1968 to 23.8 per cent in 1973. Council passed a resolution required, agreeing to pay seven and one half per cent of any operating deficit, Cost for those who are successful applicants for the 12 units will range from $39 a month for a single occupant to $61 for couples. There was no indication when the building would be constructed. anda Farmers told marketing key to success Marketing is the key to an improved farm income picture, Phil Durand, head of the Ontario Bean Marketing Board 'told Huron county farmers Thursday night. Mr. Durand was speaking to directors and members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture at the monthly meeting in Clinton, He told the group about the recent trips made by Bean Board officials to Europe and to the Pacific -rim countries to seek new markets for Ontario beans, He said that other producers of commodities and livestock needed to form marketing plans similar to the Bean Board if they were to hope to control their own future. "The sooner we establish a National Marketing Plan where we control the product the better," he said. He said Canadian farmers, with the efficiency and know-how unmatched by the rest of the world, should be looking at foreign markets for their produce, but in many cases we are having to import produce we could be growing here. He said the type of marketing plan employed by the bean producers where all beans are bought and sold through the bean board has allowed bean producers to compete on price and quantity anywhere in the world, even though Canada is a relatively small bean -producing nation. He predicted increases in the buying of Ontario white beans in such countries as Sweden and Norway. Mr. Durand said there is great optomism for the future of bean production but that there were some concerns, One of these, he said, was that high bean prices had brought too much competition. He said many farmers, attracted by high prices, arc switching from other crops to beans instead of •. building proper marketing systems for the crops they grow at present. He also hit out at Beryl Plumptre of the Food Prices Review Board who had suggested a two price system for beans, one lower price for domestic use and a higher price for foreign shipments. Mr. Durand said beans arc a high risk crop and throughout the hard years when yields were low and prices not .as good as today bean producers had never asked for government assistance, Producers, he said, would be very upset if the government began to interfere with the bean marketing. He also expressed concern over the effects of a proposed power station in south Huron because of pollution. Beans are highly susceptible to air pollution. He said Bean Board officials met with Ontario Hydro about the project and found out the project is one of nine similar projects to be built in the province in the next 10 years. It would be in operation by 1984 and double in size by 1994. It could cut bean yields by 15 to 20 per cent, he said and such a cut would kill the bean industry which is almost exclusively located in the southwest corner of Huron county, the area where the plant is to be located. Hydro officials were asked why the plant couldn't be located in Northern Ontario, Mr. Durand said and they said it would cost an extra $50 million for power• lines. Mr. Durand replied that last year's bean production was also worth $50 million.

Repairs to Memorial Hall could getunderway in ) uly, engineer says Repairs to Memorial Hall should begin in July according to AE. Clark of Wingham, engineer for the re -structuring project. Mr. Clark attended Monday night's council meeting to give details of the progress of the plans and find out final wishes of council before tenders are called for. One of Mr. Clark's concerns was to the future of the bell tower of the building. He said that it would be costly to retain and restore the present bell tower and estimated an additional cost of $1000 (some councillors felt it would be closer to $2000). The increased costs were due to the particular design of the bell tower and the way it is attached to the rest of the structure. There will be an increase in costs for the roofing and for rafters to support the heavy tower and bell. Despite the additional cost, council agreed to go ahead with plans to keep the tower in the final design. Mr. Clark said the new structure would also have a few differences from the old, including a slightly different roofline from the outside which will not really be visible from the street. The new design will alter the interior• of the auditorium also, causing a flat ceiling rather than the present higher ceiling. Council voted to hold a special meeting on June 17 to open tenders on the project. The work, Mr. Clark said, should commence in July. There was no discussion at the meeting about whether or not to go ahead with the project after letters were read from the Swinging Seniors Club, asking council to go ahead with the project so that seniors could have more entertainment in their own village, and from the Blyth branch of the Canadian Legion which asked that the hall be restored to its original use as an entertainment centre as "a living memorial" to those who died in the two World Wars. Mrs. Gail Falconer was also present to represent the Blyth Little Theatre and ask council about its plans for the Hall so that the theatre group could begin planning next year's activities and wanted to know if the theatre would be available. Methods of financing the project were also discussed. Under the community centre's act a grant of 25 per cent of the cost will be paid by the provincial government but the rest will have to be paid by the taxpayer and council is considering issuing debentures for this amount. No firm costs were discussed but the general tone of the meeting seemed to be that the cost would be higher than earlier estimates which reached $25,000. Council noted that donations to help repair the Hall would be appreciated in light of the increasing cost of the project. There was indication at the meeting, however, that this is going to be a hectic year in the building trade. Building permits were issued to: Jack Coultes, Mrs. G. Haines, Mason Bailey and A. Manning and Sons for new houses; Howson and Howson Ltd. for a cement block extension (lunchroom); Harold Cook for a carport and Bruce Barrie, sunporch. The building boom caused a good deal of discussion at the meeting (which lasted more than four hours), especially over the Wellington Street extension. A.E. Clark,. the engineer for the project discussed with council the installation of water mains, hydro and storm sewers, as well as the road itself. In view of the urgency of getting the road built so construction can cununence on many of the homes scheduled to be built in the arca this summer. 1t was noted that storm sewers will have to be added later and that until they can be installed, homeowners in the area will have to be responsible for 'installing sump pumps in the basements to keep them dry in cases of flooding. Installation of storm sewers in the area will have to wait until a huge new drain is built in the cast side of town to carry water to the Blyth Creek. This could cost between $60,000 and $90,000. There were other drain problems of a more pressing nature at the meeting as Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Ament attended the meeting to discuss problems they were having with flooding of their basement on McConnell Street. Council felt the problem was in the town drain and agreed to look after it. They were not so -sure, however,. about the drain of Con Van Vliet of Queen Street and asked him to investigate' his problems further and discuss the problem with the Ministry of Transport and Communication since the Queen Street . storm sewer is on provincial property. After several attempts to stir the • Ministry of Transport and Communication into action the council finally called in Huron -Bruce M.P.P., Murray Gaunt over its request for a motor vehicle licencing bureau for Blyth. Mr. Gaunt replied in a letter to council Monday flight that he had approached the person in the Ministry who had been dealing with council and got no action, but after he had _ spoken to the Minister -"Of the'department -he felt the.' request was now being looked on favourably. A further report is expected. Council was not happy with the financing system set up for the proposed kions Swimming Pool. Last month the council ' had agreed to pick up 45 per cent of any operating deficit on the expectation the other area councils would pick up the rest. Figures supplied by the Lions Club's pool committee showed, however, that on an estimated deficit of $3850, Blyth would pick up 51.9 per cent or $2000. The, townships in the area had agreed, though not officially, to give grants to help defray operating costs. Hullett had mentioned $1000, East Wawanosh about $500 and Morris, $350. Councillors pointed out, however, that these were fixed grants and if the deficit at the pool exceeded the $3850 projected, Blyth would be left to pick up all additional costs. The councillors felt that though it was a step in the right direction to see the townships getting involved in financing, it was not a big enough step. It was pointed out that the Blyth hockey program draws of more of its participants from the townships than from Blyth. The rural to urban ration in figure skating was even higher, the councillors said. In light of this information the council •decided to stick to its pledge to pick up 45 per cent of any expenses, and not agree to pay for all costs above the donations of the townships. Budget set in next couple of weeks Blyth residents should know the size of their tax bill shortly. Clerk Larry Walsh said at Monday night's council meeting that the new budget should be set up within the next couple of weeks. Increases in the amounts of money required by education and county levels arc already built into the budget but increased provincial grants may help defray some of the expected increase in taxes.

On Tuesday, many parents were at the school to see part of a regular school day first hand. The concert on the Wednesday evening was enjoyed by a large crowd. The junior choir, grades three, four and five, presented four songs and grades four and five each presented a short play later in the programme. Pat Stackhouse step danced and the seniors in the Ukulele Club sang two songs as they played their ukes. The grade eight class ended the concert with a ball handling routine and a gymnastics display. During the Open House follow-, ing the concert, the pupils showed their parents and friends around the school.

After this one, But I may never be treated as a distinguished visitor again, so you'll just have to bear with me. Highlight of the trip (for my kid brother), was Lunch With The General. He organized it, and as the time approached, there was so much excitement about it that I began to get the feeling I was going to have lunch with God. Unacquainted as 1 am with military hierarchy, and unimpres- sed as I ani with rank, 1 expect I didn't show the proper awe, but it was impressed on me from all sides that it was a signal honour, I don't know what kind of a line my brother shot about me, but it must have been a good one. It seems that The General just doesn't normally invite small- town columnists to lunch or anything else. It wasn't much of a lunch, as 'Che Gcncral is a spartan type, one of those infuriating people who get up and jog in the morning are on the job at 8 a.m., work like fury and have no bad habits. There was a gaggle of American one and two -star generals present, and two other Canadians, Colonel Smiley and Brig. Gen. "Joey" Romanow, a westerner, THE General, David C. Jones, has four stars, about as many as they hand out, and is Com- mander -in -Chief, U.S. Air Force Europe, and Commander, 4th Allied Tactical Air Force. A real wheel. He greeted me pleasantly, sat me on his right, and after some Albert Hunking dies ALBERT ERNEST HUNKING Mr. Albert Ernest Hunking of R.R. 1, Auburn passed away in Victoria Hospital, London on Thursday, April 24, 1974 after a short illness. He was born on the 13th of Hullett, son of the late Rundle Hunking and Margaret Rumball. Mr. Hunking married the former Ruble Manning who predeceased him in 1967. He lived all his life on ' the 13th of Hullett and was a member of the Londesboro United Church. Surviving are three sons, Edmund (Ted) and Joseph, Hullett Township and Ray, London: two daughters, Mrs. James (Delphinc) Dewar, At- wood, and Maxine, Tanzania, Africa. Also surviving is one brother, Henry, Hullett Township and 17 grandchildren. Two brothers Oliver and William predeceased him. The funeral service was held on Monday, April 29 at Tasker's Memorial Chapel, Blyth at 2 p.m. conducted by the Rev. Stan McDonald. Burial in Hope Chapel Cemetery, Hullett Township.

PG. 3. 1 go on the VIP party' circuit' desultory luncheon talk, gave me a lucid exposition of the military picture, and kept waiting for me to ask intelligent, ' penetrating questions. I didn't have any. He threw my brother a compliment, telling me the kid was his right-hand man when it came to liaison with the French, My brother beamed. 1 threw a little cold water on him by reminding him that he wasn't always so smart, 1 used to borrow half his paper route money from him every Saturday night, and still oVt a him $7.45. He countered with a reminder that he was keeping track, and at compound interest, it was now in the neighbourhood of $40,000. Oh, the gay banter when we big wheels get together for lunch! Anyway, the general made me feel safer about the Warsaw Pact people on the other side of the Iron Curtain, They have more of everything, should hostilities break out, but "we" have better hardware for both defence and attack. MOre fun than the lunch with the general was a visit I paid to the Canadian school at Ramstcin. Only seventy kids and seven teachers, an ideal educational situation. The kids have it lucky and know it. So do the teachers, Here I was at home. Teased the kids about not having long hair, scared them about the big sausage -factory schools they were going back to, signed autographs on copies of my column they had, and went for a ride in a simulated space -ship with four little guys. A bright, lively group of young- sters, who are seeing a lot of Europe, but who all signified they'd be glad to get home to Canada. Teachers young and friendly, wishing they could stay on an extra year, Principal Warren Haackc of Regina said, it's a great experience. Bright young English teacher, Bryce Tanner, a Kin- cardine boy, reads my column in the home -town paper, and repro- duces some of them for the students. One more party to go to, an all -Canadian bash. It was formal dress for officers. 1 had none, and wanted to tag along in my blazer and flannels but the kid brother is a man for ,protocol, and would have none of it. He dug through his duds and the result was something to sec. Can you picture your faithful correspondent in a pink evening shirt, with ruffles down the front, a huge black velvet bow tie, a black evening jacket big enough for two of him, black evening trousers cutting him in two (my brother is shorter) held up by a pair of red sking brfaces?

Editorial The eternal stupidity of youth A boy was killed last week in an accident in Blyth. Only hours later, young people from the community were driving like maniacs around the village streets, endangering their lives and the lives of children who might be playing near the streets and get in the way of speeding cars, or old people who might not be able to make it across the street in time to prevent being hit, or a driver who Wright pull out from the curb not expecting a car to be wizzing along a downtown street at 50 miles an hour or more, We like to think each younger generation is a little smarter than the one preceeding it. We like to think that today's youngsters learn from the mistakes of others. indeed they themselves arc always reminding adults of the mistakes of the older generations from pollution to politics and forecasting that they and their peers will build a better world. Unfortunately, there seems little hope for a startling improvement in the way the world is run when the present teenaged generation takes over, as evidenced by the kind of stupidity shown by the young drivers. These drivers, like the generation before them and one before that are bundled in the supreme confidence that they can't stake a mistake that will hurt themselves or others, Accidents happen to others, but not to them, They have too much skill. They are too smart. They are too stupid. How many people will they have to see killed before they realize that the little fun they get from racing their cars downt he main street of a town is not worth the agony that follows whent he impossible happens, when they DO get into an accident and hurt themselves or others? As the old French saying goes: The more things change, the more they are the same. The cars of today are bigger and faster than those driven by the foolish youths of past generations but the brains of the drivers are just as small as ever. The failure of the big leaders it's ironic that in the past 16 years Canada has had only two majority governments and in both cases, it has been the undoing of the Prime Minister who had the majority. The first majority, the largest in history was awarded to John Diefenbaker in 1958. A wave of enthusiasm swept this new leader into office, the first Conservative Prime Minister in 25 years. Five years Teter, he was nearly finished as leader, his party in chaos, the dreams of millions of Canadians of a new glorious future in runins. After the Diefenbaker debacle the country went through unsettled times of minority government under Mike Pearson until, in 1968 a new star appeared on the horizon, and the people flocked to this new leader putting all their various hopes in him for stability and good government and pie in the sky. Pierre Trudeau didn't give it to them, of course. He couldn't, just as Diefenbaker couldn't, fulltill the extravagant expectations made of him. After four years of majority rule, he was reduced to a minority government leader. Now, likely within months, he will be a has-been. Now the undynamic, non -heroic Bob Stanfield, much like Mike Pearson before him, is set to gain power, probably in antinority situation. Once again, the tortoise w... beat the hare. Canada will go through a period of dull, steady government and Canadians will all the while dream of a glorious new leader who will arrive some day in the next decade or so to inspire new dreams, and likely will fade within 10 years into history. The problem is we want heros, and heroic leaders are leaders nvho we remember in history, not those who Lead a country through the day-to-day, nifty gritty political and economic problems of running a government. Sir John A. MacDonald is a hero today, but was far from a hero in his own day. John Kennedy the most recent American hero was widely criticized during his short tenure as president and may never have become a hero at all if he hadn't suddenly been killed. Richard Nixon, meanwhile, tried to be a hero and instead will go down in history as a villain. We suspect that when our grandchildren read the pages of Canadian history fifty years hence, the hcros are more likely to be quiet pluggers •like Mike Pearson and perhaps Bob Stanfield than the flashy Diefenbaker and Trudeau. Heroes, in the long run, are made, not born. What can you believe any more? A Washington columnist on the CTV television program WS Sunday night spun a almost unbelievable story about what could happen in the future if U.S. President Richard Nixon is impeached. It was unbelieveable, that is, until one remembered all the other unbelieveable things that have happened in'the past year and a half, The gentleman in question wondered just what would happen if Nixon was impeached but he refused to quit the presidency. It could get to the point, he said, of bloodshed for the American people to evict him from the Whitehouse. It's inconceivable that even Nixon could precipitate such a showdown but then who would have imagined a president's friends would break into offices, would have tried to blackmail people with information in their income tax returns? Who would have thought a president would have cheated on his income tax returns to the point of nearly a half a million dollars in only four years? Who would have thought a president would have conducted the Saturday night massacre when he fired his own officials because they were getting too close to the truth about Watergate? Who would have thought a president would disobey the courts of his own country and thumb his nose at the Congress time after time? No the list of the unbelievable things about Richard Nixon is just too long for us to think anything is impossible for this man to try in his quest to remain in power. Canadians arc lucky in regard to Watergate. We have heard little self-congratulation of the "it couldn't happen here" type. Instead, most Canadians realize it could happen here. We are learning, at the expense of the Americans, to paw much more attention to the type of people we elect to offices. Let's hope we learn well. GET YER COAT ON, KID, IIM TAKIN' YER OUT AN' WE'LL DO WHAT YOU WANT T' DO. WHERE WOULD `IOU LIKE TO SPEND THE EVENIN'? IIM NOT FUSSY - JUST SOMEWHERE NEAR ME INCOME Letters to the editor The Editor: 'I'hc land speeulatiion tax recently tabled at Queen's Park is cruel legislation which heavily penalizes thousands of rural land owning Ontario residents whom 1 suspect have no idea that they are being acted against. When the law is passed, these people will find they are subject to a tax of 50 per cent on their lands when sold. The tax will he in addition to any capital gains tax they have to pay the Federal Government, All oi' this amounts to expropriation of lands with little compensation. The following is a partial list of properties which are taxable: • 1I All lands owned by rural residents, unless the property is smaller than ten acres and is lived on. If it is lived on and greater than ten acres then it becomes taxable. .• 2) With a few exceptions all rural, income-producing proper- ties which are not a place of residence. The tax is unfair to farmers, lumbermen and other rural people who have worked all their lives on their lands and have their life savings tied up in this asset. You really have to stretch the imagination far to classify them as land speculators, as the title of the bill suggests. The government has stated that they intend on driving the price of real estate down by passing the land speculation tax and a nother tax of 20 per cent if a rural resident sells any of his property to a foreigner. This, of course, will enable the government to buy rural lands at cheap prices. They have also conveniently worded the legislation to read that it' land is sold to the Crown instead of private persons, the tax will not be payable. The government will now be in a position to force the farmer or lumberman to sell his land to them. Land speculation and skyrock- eting house prices is strictly a city problem. This bending the case, why should the farmer and the rural resident have to suffer because of the situation in the big cities and surrounding areas? It is unfair to harness country people with this legislation, 'These laws should only cover certain cities and towns and not the whole province. Yours truly, Marvin Lee 'T'or'onto The Editor: To the Ratepayers and Residents of West Wawnnosh Approximately 50 residents on the Belfast/S'I'. Helens Road and the Village of Si, Helens were canvassed to support a Petition which is detailed below. We obtained 45 signatures, ‘which is roughly 90 per cent of the voting population of this area. The signed Petition in the following terms was read and presented to Council at its meeting on May 2, 1974: "In your letter dated March 12, 1974 to Mrs. Dorothy McKenzie you stated that, 'more adequate dust control methods would he studied and considered by council'. As the time for dust treatment of the roads is approaching and no report has been received oil what was decided by Council as a result of its 'studies and consideration', WE, the undersigned, petition Council as follows: (1) THAT the St. Helens. Belfast portion of Concession 10/ 11 be fully treated , for dust control instead of Spot 'Treatment, (2) THAT the quantity !termite and frequency of treatment be equal to that of County Road on Concession 8/9. (3) 'I'I1AT St, Helens he included in above requests ill 1) and (2).- Without 2) „Without any discussion by Council in my presence the Reeve replied to the Petition in decided tones "the answer is no ', on the grounds that if Council complied with this Petition it would he forced to treat all of the Township roads in the same manner, and this would necessitate a plebiscite (vote of the whole Township).

IHURON•BRUCEI Ontario Revenue Minister Arthur Meen admitted in debate over the Province's Land Speculation Tax that the 50 per cent rate depends entirely on whether Ottawa will go along and if it doesn't, the tax may have to be cut back sharply to about 25 per cent. Mr. Meen said the tax will have to become law before the Province will know for sure that it has the required federal acceptance. In arriving at the 50 per cent tax figure Ontario assumed that Ottawa would allow individuals and corporations to•deduct that amount from their income or capital gain in •calculating taxable income. The new tax was a cornerstone of the Ontario budget unveiled April 9th and was designed to stabilize land prices and so restrain inflation. However, opposition speakers suggested it would do neither one. It was further suggested that unless Ottawa allowed the speculation tax as a deduction, the tax on public corporations would jump to between 110.112 per cent. Mr. Meen admitted that under those circumstances the tax would be confis- catory and would have to be abandoned. A table contained in the budget showed that the total tax on land gains would rise from 31 per cent to 65 per cent for people and private corporations not in the business of land dealing and developing. For public corporations, the rate would go from 60 per cent to 80 per cent, all of which was based on the thought that the tax would be allowed as a deduction. Several Liberal spokesmen said the bill will turn developers into builders, choosing to construct housing rather than sell lots to small builders, who might then be driven out of business. . A strike at 11 Metro Toronto arca hospitals was averted this week when a tentative settlement was reached giving 6,000 hospital workers wage increases of $1.50 an hour in five stages during 2 years. Honourable Frank Miller, Ontario's Health Minister had intervened in the dispute by announcing that Ontario hospitals would be allowed to exceed Government spending ceilings because of "severe inflationary factors". He said the ceilings remain, but adjustments will be made to cover both increased costs of materials and better wages for workers. There was more than the usual excitement around Queen's Park this week. A lunch hour fire caused damage estimated at $14,000 to the plain building and contents. Twelve fire trucks were sent to the blaze which was confined to the massive roof beans in an attic over the fourth floor in the North Eastern corner of the 81 •year-old seat of Government. The Provincial Government does not carry fire insurance on its buildings because it (eels that it is cheaper to accept the risk rather than pay enormous premiums. In 1909 a lire caused $700,000 damage to the building. The nation Manitoba car insurance plan finding troubles BY FRED CLEVERLEY A Manitoba court decision could cost the provincial government's compulsory auto- mobile insurance scheme up to $1 million in rebates and could possibly upset the penalty provisions of similar schemes in both Saskatchewan and British Columbia, This past week Mr. Justice John M. Hunt ruled in Manitoba's Court of Queen's Bench that the government insurance corporation • Autopac • had wrongfully assessed an extra $300 charge on the driver's licence held by Wilfred Ward, of Winnipeg, The assessment was made because of demerit points accumulated by Mr. Ward prior to the start of the government insurance scheme in 1970, and Mr. Justice Hunt ruled that the legislation contained no retroactive provisions, so that penalties assessed for demerit points could only be based on those points accumulated since the scheme crone into effect. If the ruling is not upset on appeal, Manitoba's minister responsible for Autopac, William Uruski, says the government insurance plan will have to refund up to $1 million to Manitobans who have been surcharged for bad driving records, The ruling could also apply to similar government insurance schemes in Saskat- chewan, and particularly in British Columbia, where compulsory government automobile insurance law is modelled after the Manitoba pattern. 'I'hc principle behind the surcharges was one of the bright aspects of the compulsory government insurance plan. Unlike private insurance schemes, Manitoba's plan did not increase the insurance premium on cars involved in successive accidents, but put the cost on the driver's licence of the elan held to be responsible for the accidents. Fathers were no longer charged extra for their cars when their sons had the accidents, The rates were substantial. Once a driver exceeded six demerit points (one moving traffic violation is worth up to four points) he had an extra $75 tacked on to his driver's licence. The amount increased with the number of points until it reached the maximum amount ($300) which was contested in court by Mr. Ward. Mr. Ward successfully fought the assessment because his demerit points stretched back before the establishment of Autopac in 1970. The insurance corpor- ation operates hand in glove with the provincial motor vehicle registration people, and Autopac's computer is tied into the motor vehicle computer, so that information is readily exchanged. Mr. Justice Hunt's ruling stated that Autopac can no longer surcharge for driving errors committed before it was established, and in effect gives every Manitoban a clean driving record as of 1970, when the compulsory scheme began, Manitoba's at torncy•general, Howard Pawley, \\'llo \\'as in charge of Autopac at its inception, was obviously shaken by the court ruling and said that regardless of the wording of the Autopac legislation, there was it cleat' intent to slake available t0 it past driving records. Mr. Pawley agrees with Autopac's resident lawyer, S.S. Kapoor, that Mr, Justice 1 -Punt's ruling must be appealed. Mr. Pawley also said that there would be no attempt to amend Autopac's legislation until all appeals had been exhausted. If the ruling stands, it could add substantially to the financial troubles of nlanitoba's compulsory automobile insur- ance scheme. Autopac is on record with a $10 million loss last year, a loss which is disputed by the private insurance industry, whose spokesmen claim that by any normal insurance accounting the government plan lost an extra $6 million. Autopac raised its rates from 10 to 19 per cent this past year, a full year before the time Premier Ed Schreyer had promised would be the first increase period, and Mr. Uruski, who is called upon regularly to defend the scheme in the legislature, has already predicted substantial increases again next year. Manitobans are also discovering a new "get tough" attitude on the part of the corporation as they ‘wait in long lineups at claims centres to get their settlements. •Gone are the easy days when Autopac, without question replaced stolen tape decks and fixed fender dents with a smile. Now every claimant is closely questioned, and the corporation has hired two special investigators, both with police and insurance adjusting backgrounds, to check on the adjusters, the body shops and the customer's to slake sure the corporation is getting its money's worth. The "gestapo" as the investigators are known to the corporation, report, not to Mr. Uruski who is in charge of the scheme, but directly to attorney -general Pawley, a situation which has not exactly contributed • to good morale within the corporation. This year Autopac completely aband- oned the no fault principle which was one The world Free elections unknown in Portugal BY ELIZABETH MORRIS Unrest and discontent do not disappear overnight, even if the rulers are deposed. Proclamations by General Antonio do Spinola of Portugal to ease tension and hold free elections within a year will have to be more than promises. In its present mood Portugal is unlikely to accept one dictatorship for another. And although Spinosa intends disband- ing some of the disagreeable trappings of a fascist regime, Tike the Republican Guard, the Youth Movement (Mocidade) and the secret police, he has not promised to call an armistice in Africa and bring the troops home, which was primarily what the coup was about. Apart from consuming nearly half the budget, at the expense of much-needed reforms in health and education, the enormous cost of the wars has whittled down a balance of payments surplus of $121 million in 1967 to a mere $1.4 million in 1972; provisional figures for last year show a trade deficit of $1.1 billion. the • largest ever, inflation has hurt Portugal more than many other places, because it has f'rn, natural resources and its industry is embryonic; low wages have made it even more painful. The situation is not helped ,by the total Arab boycott on oil, imposed for allowing American planes for Israel to go through the Azores. The choice between reforms at honk and the wars in Africa lay at the root of the country's troubles. int the eyes of industrialists, Europe (especially the EEC) was more important than Africa, a policy that the die-hard right-wing would never favor - even though the economic value of the colonies is questionable. in 1972, only 11.3 per cent of Portugal's imports came from Africa, which in turn look no more than 14.7 per cent of Portugal's exports (compared with the 22.9 per cent that went to the United Kingdom). To escape squalid conditions at hone, where the standard of living is one of the lowest in Europe, able Portuguese have always emigrated. Estimates put the number of Portuguese permanently living abroad as 1,500,000, mostly in France, Germany and America, and their remit- tances home have swelled the amount of money circulating in Portugal and contributed to the inflation. That Portugal relics on these remittances from discont- ented citizens to bolster its balance of payments is a sorry reflection on the political scene. However, considering that the population of metropolitan Portugal is under nine million, emigration must be reaching its limit, for in 1972, 80,000 Portuguese emigrated to France alone, a number of whorl were draft-dogers leaving illegally. Discontent with the political situation in Portugal and Africa is strongest among the wot'king•classes, from whorl conic file rank and file of the army, and the younger officers, most of whom are graduates, University unrest is now so rife that it no longer makes headlines. Although Premier Marcello Caetano attempted a policy of prudent libcrlaisnl when he took over from the ailing Salazar in 1968, adopting a more benign attitude to the press, he was hemmed in by his right-wing, who feared he alight "go soft" on Africa. His experiment in "free" elections for the National Assembly in 1969 was not repeated last October. Govern- ment intimidation such as breaking up of the cornerstones of its establishment. This year, in addition to the surcharges on driving licences for bad driving records, Manitobans who are responsible for two accidents in a single year get another one-time charge of $50 on their driving licences. A third accident raises this amount to $100 and so on. This year also, the provincial govern- ment is putting the squee :c on the only private company left in the extension insurance business. Private companies are allowed to sell extension insurance to cover above and below the basic Autopac plan of $200 deductible and $50,000 public liability, but this year all companies except the Portage la Prairie Mutual Insurance Company pulled out of the field, leaving extension policies, as well as the compulsory basic coverage, to Autopac. The president of Portage Mutual, Earl Brown, says it is unlikely that his company will remain in the field much longer, since this year the government has pushed such items as camper trailer insurance out of the basic policy and into the extension field. The owner of a truck camper, who was able to insure both the truck and the camper under his basic policy, this year has to buy two separate policies, and pay two separate deductibles if he has an accident. II' Autopac is successful in driving the only remaining private company out of the extension insurance field, it will be free to set whatever rates it needs to break even. And if this past week's court ruling stands the new rates will likely reflect Autopac's inability to surcharge bad drivers for their records prior to 1970 -The Montreal Star meetings and arresting supporters for minor electoral infractions, resulted in all the opposition candidates withdrawing before polling clay. And while Cactano relaxed censorship for 30 days before the election to allow the opposition to gel into print, as permitted under the Constitution, it was a penal offence to discuss Portugal's policy in Africa, the most pertinent issue of the clay. For nearly 50 years there has been no opposition deputy in the National Assembly; everyone has been sponsored by the regime. Political apathy is such that out of 1,500,000 eligible to vote in metropolitan Portugal, no more than 40 per cent ever do so, and those who regard elections as a farce are mostly in the 24-34 age group - of whom, according to a Lisbon newspaper survey, 82 per cent have never cast a vote. So-called "liberal" deputies introduced to the National Assembly in 1969 on a Caetano ticket who seized the opportunity to criticize the African colonial campaigns were conveniently dropped as candidates for last year's elections, Some however, PG, 6. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 8, 1974.1 Portugal CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 had made a stormy departure earlier, as happened with Dr. Francisco Carneiro and Dr. Miller Guerra, who complained they had no voice in government at all. General Spinola has not indicated whether he intends redrafting the Portuguese Constitution, which involves a corporative state about which no individual may say or wirte anything the state considers tendentious outside election times, something a one-party state relies on for survival, Salazar drafted the present Constitution in 1932 in his own interest and subsequently invented laws to keep himself in power. A notable one was the election of the president, which he changed from popular suffrage to an electoral college. 13ut it was under Salazar that Portugal knew the longest period of stability in its history, and some might say the most punitive. Hc, too, came to power as the result of a military coup in 1926, although he was not virtual dictator until 1932, That he became known as a benign dictator owes less to his political policy than to world opinion, which from 1936 was occupied with the darker deeds of Hitler. Salazar ingratiated himself with the Allies at the height of the German U-boat campaign during the last war, when he provided bases for British and American forces in the Azores. He appeased the Portuguese by measuring what they had achieved against past deprivation. lie never ceased to hark back to the 40 governments they had during their 16 -year experiment with democracy after the Republicans over- threw the monarchy in 1910. To a revolution -ridden community, his econ• omit reforms as minister of finance and later as head of government seemed a breath of sanity. But the cost in political freedom was reflected in armies of secret police and opponents thrown in jail for life. No A new look at sheep film on sheep From the first quavering bleat of a newborn lamb, shepherds of the '70's are struggling to keep sheep production viable in On- tario, in some cases, they're lucky , and win; more often than not, it would be easier to pull out. The sheep industry, its pro- blems and its successes, are the topics of a new film, "A New Look at Sheep", produced by the Information Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Aimed at producers, as well as general audiences, it is a 20 -minute, full-color, 16 -milli- meter film dealing with the delicate balance of nutrition, breeding and, perhaps most important, market conditions that sheep producers must deal with, Canadians as a whole consume only 4.6 pounds per capita of lamb and mutton each year. Yet despite this low consumption, domestic production meets less : than 25 per cent of our! requirements. The documentary urges producers to examine their industry objectively, and to take advantage of new ideas. The New Liskeard College of Agricultural Technology is the center of studies in different approaches of sheep manage- ment.

McGEE PONTIAC - BUICK HAMILTON STREET - GODERICH 524-8391 From the Minister's Study BY PASTOR ALFRED FRY, AUBURN In the book of Philippians, chapter 4 verse 6, we read:' "Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." If we were to accept this admonition we would have more peace of heart, i There is a story of a king who hired many weavers to weave beautiful tapestries for him• The king was so anxious that the work should be well done that he gave all his workers permission to bring problems to him at any time. Among the workers was a child who worked very patiently with the others. Her work seemed to progress much faster than others, and more than that, she sang at her work. One clay, as an older woman was trying to untangle some hopelessly, tangled skeins of thread, she said to the child, "How.is it that you seem' to have little trouble with your thread, and besides, you sing so' much?" "Well", replied the little girl, "don't you remember that the king said we were to go to him?" "Well, so do all of us, in the morning and at night", said the other, "Ah", said the little one, triumphantly, "1 go to him every time 1 have a tangle, and he always sends someone to help me," How true this is of our Heavenly Father. We go to Him morning and night, but how about the tangles through the day, we can carry every burden, heartache, or difficulty to the one who said," Come unto me all ye that labour or are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

ANN LANDERS What do you call' an Afro-American? Dear Ann Landers: You certainly showed your ignorance when you responded to "Want To Learn." The writer assured you he had no racial prejudices. He described himself as "born in the North and moved when a child with his parents to the Midwest." his question was: "What is the polite word to describe Afro-Americans?" He said years ago the most popular word was "colored," then Negro came into use. Now the popular word seems to be "black", he said black was inappropriate since many of his Afro-American friends are not black, in fact, they are lighter in color than some of his East Indian friends, Your answer floored me. You replied, "The word 'black' is definitely in, but 1 prefer Negro." How gross can you get? Don't you know there is no such word as "Negro"? It is a bastardization of the word "nigger", pronounced "Nigra" by Southerners. That a woman in your position didn't know this is positively shocking. Sign me -- High Umbrage. Dear High: Please come down a little so we communicate. Negro is a legitimate word. It conics from the Latin "'tiger," meaning black. For many years it was the term preferred (capitalized, of course) by most people of that race. Many distinguished and cultivated people who still prefer it are Sterling Brown, the poet; Patricia Harris, the prominent Washington, D.C., attorney, and Roy Wilkins, head of the NAACP. 1 was taking my stand with them. I realize, however, that the times and language do change. When I asked my friend John Johnson, the publisher of Ebony magazine, this question, he told me of a 1973 survey that showed 90 per cent of the readers polled by Ebony prefered to be called black, with Afro-American second and Negro third. So, I'm "old-fashioned," like Mrs. Harris, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Wilkins, which 1 consider pretty good company.

Vince Austin, of Ashfield township reported seting six large tractor trailer trucks loaded with fertilizer heading across the international bridge at Sarnia in about one hour last week, This, he said, was happening at a time when nearly all fertilizer supply companies in Huron county are unable to fill orders to farmers placed, in some cases, in January. The local suppliers, it was pointed out have had their orders cancelled by their own Suppliers. Mike Miller, field crop specialist with the Ministry of Agriculture's Clinton office warned that crops will be badly hurt if proper amounts of nitrogen fertilizer are not applied, The angry farmers, faced with shortages in fcrtilizcr on their own farms discussed picketing the international bridges to stop the flow of fcrtilizcr from Ontario where it is a record $150 to $190 a ton at present to Michigan where the price is nearly $300 a ton. "We've been nice guys too long'', stated one. Agricultural Tidbits An odd way WITH ADRIAN VHS Some people have an odd way of figuring. What is not so odd is that the figuring turns mostly so that they make more money. 'fake for instance the Canadian Food Processors Association, Because of the increased cost of peas the price of a 14 -ounce can of peas will go up seven cents. However, the processor pays the farmer only one cent more for those peas. 1 cannot but wonder if Mrs. P1umptre is aware of this kind of arithmetic. ***A:* i read in "Farm and Country" magazine that a new type of rabbit has come from good old England. It could do the sante thing that earlier English rabbits did in Australia, overrun the country, but this time in the rabbit barns, They can raise 100 little ones a year. The male mentioned was something else. "After mating with 60 females each day for seven months, he died one happy rabbit," the magazine says. ***** Much has been written in the urban press about the ban on American beef: little that it is because of potential cancer through American use of DES and a lot on the way it affects the price of a steak.

For fast action, the reports were telephoned to the various bodies on Friday. Some of the blame for the shortage of fertilizer was laid at the feet of the fertilizer companies who had earlier promised there • would be sufficient supplies for this year, though at higher than normal prices. But blame was also put on some farmers, particularly in the Chatham arca. who had bought fcrtilizcr earlier and were selling it in the U.S. Reacting to the story Mr. Stewart said Friday in an interview with the London Free Press that he had rumours of the shipments of fertilizer out of the country but was "not aware" that it was in such large quantities as the Huron county farmers said. He said he didn't think anyone really knew what was going on. He said about 10 per cent more fertilizer is being manufactured in Ontario this year but demand was higher meaning there would definitely be a shortage. of figuring producer. 1 -Ie however is in as much of a jam as the beef man. Losses ,of about 15 dollars per head are now common. If you figure that a total of five finished hogs weigh as much as one finished steer, you can also figure that his losses are comparable, l'he beef man received some help in the form of a federal subsidy but the pork main is still just hoping, 1r the hope fades we will see heavy cutbacks in production followed by pork shortages and subsequent high prices. Again, the producer loses and later on the consumer loses. ***** After Agricultural Minister Whelan apparently got assurance from the fertilizer companies that sufficient fertilizer would be available., it comes as kind of a shock to learn that huge trailer loads of the stuff go to the U.S, and our farmers are told. that their needs can't be met. We hope that storm measures against these profiteers will be taken. HURON DEAD STOCK REMOVAL CLINTON We are now paying $5 to $15 for fresh dead or disabled cows and horses over 500 pounds.

Behind the scenes Some choice for voters BY KEITH ROULSTON As we go to press this week it looks like we can expect an election early this summer. I don't know about you, but I'm not looking forward to it. The last few days, or is it • weeks.,.maybe even months. have not given me a lot oI' confidence that I will be able to make a good choice when I go into the polling booth. Right now, it looks like you'll lose your vote no matter which party you vote for because not one of them seems to deserve to be elected. A lot of people, of course, will be voting for Bob Stanfield in the election...at (east he will b getting their vote though it' more likely they are votin, against the government than for Stanfield. Most people, I think. are just about as sick of Stanfield and Lewis these days as they were of Trudeau a while ago. Stanfield and Lewis have made it clear by their actions of the past few days that they don't give a hoot about Canadians, who want a July electron about as much as they want snow in the same month. What these men care about is power, and they sense they are in a position to get more of it. They are probably right, or at (east Stanfield is probably right, since most people have already awarded him the victory. But for his callousness about the citizens and his hunger for the defeat of the Liberal government no natter what the result, he deserves to be taught a lesson, like a startling defeat at the polls. just when he thought he had yi story. IIc may dcser\c it , but he won't likely get it because most people are in the mowed tor a change in government, Probably. Stanfield, for all ,his harping, won't be able to do much better in lighting inflation and unemploy- ment than the Liberals have. but most people Say "What the heck, he can't do any worse so let's give hint a try. - I'm pretty much of that train of thought myself right now. Give him a try...at least it +will shut hint up from grumbling all the time in opposition to everything that goes on in the county. Besides, it's good to change the government every few years just to keep people on their toes (though the voters of Ontario don't scent to think so when it comes to provincial politics). So, at the start of the campaign at least, Stanfield appears to, reluctantly, have my vote. I have no doubt, however, that as the campaign wears on and he keeps saying stupid things as he did the last election and I'll be sorely tested to change my mind, But to whom...certainly not smiling, hypocritical Davey Lewis and ********* Most of the ninerais being produced in the Yukon are shippc4 out of the territory over the White Pass railway to markets in Japan and the United States. ********* 1 e4Itic.ati) OUR MAIL ORDER .
