The show, the first in four years in Blyth, had more than 160 entries from roses to dahlia, geraniums to teraniums. Miss Norma Daer of Blyth was winner of the Eatons silver trophy for the highest points by an exhibitor in the show.

A meeting was scheduled in Teeswater on Wednesday night. Thurs- day's meeting will be in Brussels and Tuesday's in Winthrop. About 40 persons listened to Ontario Hydro officials explain expropriation procedures for the first leg of the Douglas Point-to-Seaforth power corridor at the public meeting Monday. Those present, property owners in Bruce Township between the Bruce Nuclear Power Development and Bradley, about 16 miles southeast, appeared satisfied as Hydro manager of property appraisal, Bob Holley, outlined Hydro's new expropria- tion policy. Hydro's bid to expropriate a 900 -foot wide corridor has already been approved by Environment Minister William New- man. But, Mr. Holley noted, a spring inquiry revealed that only a 490 -foot wide corridoris needed to , meet Hydro's immediate needs. Mr. Holley said property owners must ask Hydro dro t o abandon n all lands it has acquired in excess of 490 feet before the width of the corridor can be reduced. In late June Mr. Newman announced he had signed approval for expropriation of lands Hydro had not yet acquired in its 11/2 years of negotiations. Shortly after, he announced he would withhold final approval until further meetings could be arranged with affected land owners. Unlike earlier meetings between Hydro and area farmers, the loudest electricity generated at Monday's meeting came from a severe thunderstorm which occasionally cut off the Underwood Community Centre's power. Mr. Holley rejected a claim from Burton Hodgins, chairman of the Bruce -Huron Hydro Corridor Negotiating Committee, that Hydro is pressuring farmers to grant easements instead of allowing Hydro to buy their properties outright. Mr. Hodgins said a farmer who decides to grant an easement for which he can receive a payment in a lump sum or an annual payment would not be entitled to seek higher compensation through the Ontario Land Expropriation Act. "And I know you fellows are pushing us into granting easements," he said. Mr. Holley said Hydro has no preference on land acquisition methods. He said expropriation will be completed by mid-December while construction oni the corridor of land already acquired will begin by about Sept. 5. intersection of Hydro power transmission Under purchase arrangements which, he lines to be called Bradley Junction will:be explained, would be retroactive for owners located here. who've agreed to sell their land, an 18 -acre A 230 -kilovolt power transmission line parcel of land across which four hydro lines flashes through the area on its way .to would pass would be compensated at about Orangeville.

Alexander sells Londesboro .business changes'hands Slowly, quietly, a change in business has been taking place in the village of Londesboro. After more than a quarter century of operation R.N. Alexander is in the process of selling his seed plant, a process that has been dragged out by red tape. Already the new owner Robert Shaddick of Londesboro has taken over operation of the business although he will not officially become owner until red tape with the planning board is dealt with. In the meantime, Norman Alexander is taking things easy. Mr. Alexander founded the seed plant in 1946 helped out by a government grant. He ' chuckles now when he remembers that one stipulation' to his getting the grant was that 'he must keep the plant going for seven years. That stipulation was met with plenty to spare. Not everyone thought it would be though. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander recall one local resident who predicted the Londes- boro area couldn't support such a facility. But it did, and it still is. It supported the plant so well that it has been expanded four times since it was built. The original building was only 24 by 48 feet and by 1951 was too small. The building was raised and another storey was added. Later another addition was made and the final addition was made in 1966. For 20 years the Alexanders also grew registered seed at their farm which was just east of the village. In 1970 Mr. Alexander received the Robertson Associ- ate Award in honour of his contributions to the seed industry, one of, the only three ever to have been awarded to residents of Huron where the growing of registered seed has never been popular. Seed plants have never been numerous in Huron, especially those dealing in small seeds. And Mr. Alexander has seen many changes in the seed business in his nearly 30 years in the industry. The early days, he recalls, saw the seed or grain come in in small lots, mostly in bags. Now the lots are large and bags are seldom seen. Recently, for instance, a farmer drove in with three CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 PG.2 THE RLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 2$ 1974.

ROBERT N SHADDICK PG,4. THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGUST 28, i974. Editorial ---- - - Common sense needed Beurocracy seems to be the big word today. At last word the province of Ontario had more than 60,000 civil servants on the payroll. The federal government had about 200,000 employees on the payroll. Beurocracy is growing at the municipal and county level, It has become a dirty word in a country that is beginning to strangle in red tape. Unfortunately it seems to be somthing we're going to have to live with. Canadians seem to like to elect governments that feed the growing beurocracy (such as both the Trudeau and David governments), and even if a government did want to cut back on the number of government employees it becomes tough with the union structure of today. There is one thing that will make beurocracy liveable and unfortunately it appears to be a scarce commodity: common sense. Common sense, for instance, would prevent go -by -the -book civil servants from making ridiculous decisions such as saying the Blyth arena needs 11 toilets in each of the washrooms. It would prevent things like officials telling a property owner that he can't use his property unless he installs a new washroom and can't put in a new washroom unless he has a new septic tank and therefore can't use the property at all because there isn't room for a new tile bed. Unfortunately, too many civil servants want to play emperor and enforce every little detail of the rules no matter how stupid they are. People who otherwise seem quite sensible seem to lose all fairness when they have the rule book of some civil service department in their hands, What is the answer? How do you force people to use common sense instead of a rule book? It seems hard to find an answer but we'd better or life will be unbearable very soon. 'Tough question for Americans If U.S. President Gerald Ford was trying to get the minds of ' Americans off Watergate he couldn't have picked a better issue to bring up than amnesty for American draft dodgers. There is probably no subject in the U.S. that causes a larger; difference of opinion. It's a tough problem to solve. Each side has valid reasons for believing it is right and shouldn't give in to the other. The vetereans to whom Mr. Ford first broached the idea of limited amnesty feel they have been betrayed if the draft dodgers are left unpunished. They, after all, took the risks of fighting for their country, even if their country wasn't too sure what it was fighting for. They served without question, and many friends of theirs died or were injured. The draft dodgers believe they were right and the decision makers of their nation were wrong. They chose to leave rather than fight an immoral war, and to accept anything other than a complete amnesty would degrade the principal for which they fought. In the long run, the whole argument is pretty academic. The majority of draft dodgers and deserters are living in Canada. The majority of these, as a letter writer in a Toronto daily newspaper said this week, are here to stay and no matter what Mr. Ford decides theywon't be going back to the U.S. except to visit families. Even a complete amnesty would see only a handful of them returning to the U.S. now that most are Canadian citizens. No understanding • of farming , . Spend a few minutes talking to urbanites in Ontario and you will soon be staggered by the complete lack of understanding of the farm economy. The most striking misconception one will see among city consumers is the formulation of price. To your average Toronto or London housewife it seems only natural that the farmer sets the price for the produce he sells. Afterall, that's the way car makers, clothing makers, furniture manufacturers and nearly every other manufacturer do things. It is very hard for them to understand how a farmer can be losing money. It is easy to understand their confusion. Farming is one of the few areas of the economy left where free market forces prevail. The farm producer sells and takes what the buyer has to offer. Today he may make a profit and tomorrow he may not. If he doesn't like the price all he can do is stop producing and in farming even that is complicated because it takes anywhere from six weeks to three years to bring produce to market from the beginning of the farm cycle. So if a farmer brings his hogs to market and doesn't like the price he still has several months of losses ahead before he can get out of production: But like this one farmer many others are probably making the same decision so that suddenly after several months of cutbacks, there is a shortage, prices go up and farmers begin to raise hogs like wild, thus over producing and driving prices down again. It's pretty confusing for the urban housewife. It can lead an urban housewife like Beryl Plumtree to start asking questions about farm marketing boards which are trying, through control of supply, to give the farmer some of the advantages of other manufacturers. Consumer spokesmen hit hard at this supply -control idea contending that farmers are artificially inflating prices by not producing to full capacity. If they were, they ,say, food prices would drop. One could understand this reasoning a little better if the demand was also being made that General Motors produce cars to the limit of ' capacity so there would be a surplus and prices would come down. Or that the union bricklayer would work at full capacity all day long so that it would take fewer hours to complete a house and the price of housing would come down. But they don't demand these things. And they get backing from many ignorant urban politicians and editorial writers. Someone, either the farmers themselves through their organizations or theg overnment under the leadership of a man like Eugene Whelan, needs to start a major education program for urbanites. ,Lights on the water As others see it ' Popularity in losing Human nature, says The Bowmanville Canadian States- man has to be considered peculiar in many ways. Look at what has happened since the federal election. David Lewis, the NDP leader who was defeated in his own consitituency and whose party . also lost seats, has achieved much more popularity in newspapers, other media and with people generally than he ever was able to gather at the polling booths. The same holds true for the Progressive Conservative leader, Robert Stanfield. Now, everybody is praising him to the skies publicly for his many sterling characteristics, but they, in large numbers, didn't vote for him or his party. And behind the scenes some of those praising him are working hard to replace him as soon as possible... We always seem to feel sorry for the losers. In newspaper circles it happens quite often. A citizen may be a no-good bum all through life, but let that person , die and his obituary will be filled with paragraphs of praise and glowing tributes. We always do our utmost to forget the bad qualities and look only upon the good when giving anyone a send-off into the great beyond. Summing it all up we have come to the conclusion that deep down we are all a bunch of sentimental frauds. We don't like to kick anyone when he's down, at least outwardly where anyone can observe our actions. Underneath and over the back fence we'll but the guy to ribbons, but in public not a word will be said or read telling others exactly how we do feel. Mdaybe it's just as well in the long run. Nobody gets hurt that way and the losers or their supporters can take some solace in keeping the laudatory clipping for posterity. CAN iT HAPPEN HERE? Looking backward, as we must, at the long months of the Watergate crisis in the United States, Canadians who are in any way thoughtful about the future ' of their owngovernmental institu- tions will inevitably draw some comparisons. Could Watergate and its scandalous aftermath of deceit and corruption, have a counterpart in Canada? Few of us are so foolish as to assume that Canadians, by and large, are any more honest than are Americans. Without doubt, given the same opportunity for personal power and profit, Canada could produce an equal number of high-level crooks. The difference lies in our two systems of government. The crucial point on which the American system foundered lies in the "separation of powers" - that rarified climate in which an American president operates and a basic provision of the constitu- tion of that country. As we all witnessed with something near to unbelief, President Nixon, time after time, defied the laws of the land and the specific dictates of its highest judiciary powers - simply because he was the president and his office permits him wide privileges not accorded to any other citizen. Not only were the prerogatives of the presidential office used to protect the man himself, but to throw roadblocks in the path of the investigators who sought to bring his personal aides to justice. At the root of the problem lies the constitutional fact that an American president selects and pays his own staff - a group of men whose duties approximate those of our own federal cabinet The difference is self-evident. Our cabinet ministers are elected by the voters and are responsible to them. flagrant abuse of their wide powers means eventual defeat at the polls. In the United States, however, the personal assistants and cabinet officers are worried only about pleasing the president - and in the Watergate instance any and every dirty trick in the book was used by many of those personal aides to assure that their patron was elected to office and maintained in that position. Yes, something of a similar nature could develop in Canada, During the early years of the first ' Trudeau administration, many of the more informed and astute political observers became deeply ' alarmed by the growing body of bright young personal assistants with which the victorious prime minister was surrounding him- self. It was generally felt that some of these unelected new- comers were wielding more power at the top level of government than were the ca'bi- net ministers themselves. Whether the stark dangers of minority government changed that pattern, or whether Mr. Trudeau has gained a new and more accurate perspective of the values of the Canadian elective system we do not know. But Watergate and the shameful fate of the most powerful man on earth should tell us all in Canada that we must not fall into the same trap, Government of the people, by the people and`for the people was allowed to lapse in the United States. We must make sure that it does not do so here. Wingham Advance Times standard KEITH & JiLL ROULSTON C.-PuublIshers Published every Wednesday at Queen St., Blyth, Ontario.

BY BILL SMILEY 1 don't know about you, but we've had a real whizzer of a summer. Just a mad, gay, The Great Gatsby sort of thing. You know what 1 mean. You've been through it. Loitering by the pool with an extra -dry martini and the golden girls undulating past with so little on that your eyeballs pop out and splinter your sun glasses. Enchanting evenings on the beach, waves lapping, the fire glowing embers, and just the 24 of you. Night, and mystery, and romance. (By the way, did you ever try to glow an ember?) It's quite a feat. And speaking of feat, the only lapping I've heard this summer is our abysmally stupid cat lapping the sweat off my feet. He seems to like it - probably has a salt deificiency problem • and 1 must admit it gives me a strange, perverse thrill. Perhaps by now you realize that in my own far from subtle way, I am suggesting that we've had a bummer of a summer, And you are absolutely, with- out qualification, one hundred and twenty-four per cent right. Oh, don't think it's been a complete waste of time. We've ages two years in two months, which is quite a feat. There's that word again. Feet? We haven't just been 'lying around, watching the grass grow. This would in any case, be difficult, since it does not grow after about the 20th of June. But the dandelions are pretty, though short-lived, and the wild clover has a certain charm. No. we've been quite active . socially: It all started after Commencement, last June. One of the teachers had a party. Teachers, after Commence- ment, are somewhat similar to Magellan's sailors, who, after battling six months to round Cape Horn, find themselves a Pacific Ocean and a tropical island. It was a good party, as parties go, and they go too long. However, as we say in the game when we don't quite know what else to say, we accepted a ride home with our resident artists. who came in for some hot chocolate and burned a hole in one of the end -tables as big as your eye, when no one was looking, in the process of putting out a cigarette. 1 think that started the summer on the wrong foot. 1 seem to have a fetish about foots and feet today but don't let it bother you. Well, to get back to our swinging summer social life, it's been something. We've been to a funeral and a wedding. I've never had so much kissing in my life. While the funeral was sad, in a sense, it was also a .family reunion, in another. Nephews and nieces I haven't seen in years. And four of the five Smileys all together at once, for the first time in a couple of decades. The wee Colonel was in Germany. And the wake had a good touch of Irish in it, if you follow me. And the wedding was a pretty good shot, too, even though we discovered the happy couple had been married several hours before, due to some stupid, ridiculous statute. i got to kiss not only the bride, but her four older sisters. all of them former students of mine. And their mother. Also. as it was a Ba•hai wedding. quite a few of the Footnotes for a summer bummer guests, ranging from suckling babes to grandmothers, were former students. 1 like to see them and talk to them. John H. is an artist who gave me, 1 think, a lucid explanation of how he is trying to combine the purely visual, the abstract. and his own conscious- ness. John M., on the other hand, was about to head for the west coast, but someone was trying to talk him into going to Germany instead. Margaret sang some songs that make the ripples go up and down your spine. She has granny glasses and a great grin. Len is a grave -digger. Gets twenty-five bucks a day whether he has to dig a grave or not. He offered me a special deal, on some wasteland behind the cemetery, in September he's off to England to study how to teach in a special school whose theme is Awakeness. We should call our schools Assleepness. iAh! Great to be young. Nonetheless, somebody must carry the blasted torch. I've been swimming twice. I have driven past the golf club once, i've been fishing once and caught three crappies. My wife just broke three ribs. We've been waiting for the roofer for three weeks. • And tomorrow, we have our third big social occasion of the summer. My daughter and her husband arc arriving with 20 retarded adults whom they've been retraining, for a picnic in the back yard.

Rev. Stanley McDonald officia- ted for the double -ring ceremony. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs, Robert McClinchey of Blyth and the bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Bromely of R.R.2 Londesboro. The organist was Mrs. Harry Lear and the soloist was Mr. Harry Lear, Given in marriage by her father, the bride looked lovely in a floor -length gown of snow white sheer crystalette with over skirt of line lace imported from Belgium. The V-shaped bodice had a high mandarin collar and self covered buttons to waistline, and long full sleeves with wide cuffs. Her long cathedral veil of pure silk illusion was held in place by a juliet cap trimmed with matching lace. She carried a colonial bouquet of pink rosebuds, shasta daisies and feathered mums. The maid of honour was Miss Cathy Dougherty of Port Albert and the bridesmaids were Miss Pat McClinchey of Blyth, sister of the groom and Miss Diane Bromley sister of the bride. All were dressed identically in blue trevira crystallette, dotted in white background, high neckline with matching straps over the shoulder and frill around the bottom of the skirt and trimmed with white daisy lace. Their headress of tiny matching bows down the back of their tiny wedding veil was accented with lily -of -the -valley. They all carried bouquets of colored shasta daisies. The groomsman was Mr. Beverly Bromley, brother of the bride and the ushers were Mr. Murray Manning of Blyth and Stephen Bromley, brother of the �JF•. ..3:.: .:Y:}d}.<; •4r:; Si:: i^:{}t¢,• : '}}!?icy bride. Following the ceremony, a wedding dinner was served in the Auburn Community Memorial Hall where the guests were received by the bridal party assisted by the bride's mother wearing a floor -length gown of pink polyester with rosebud trim and a corsage of white carnations. She was assited by the groom's mother wearing a long floral figured blue polyester gown and a corsage of white carnations. The !leachable was centred with a wedding cake decorated in shape of a church which was illuminated for the dinner and the reception which followed. Music was supplied by Bill Manning of Blyth. The master of ceremonies was Rev. Stanley McDonald of Londesboro and the bride's uncle Mr. Al Fleming made a toast to the bride. For a trip to Northern Ontario, the bride donned a white and green dress, white accessor- ies and a corsage of pink carnations. They are residing at R.R.1, Londesboro. Hope Chapel memorial service held A large crowd. attended the annual Hope Chapel service memorial service held last Sun- day with Rev, Fred Carson, rector of St, Mark's Anglican Church and Blyth Trinity Church, in charge. The organist was Miss Donna Hunking. The offering was received by Kenneth Hunking. Mr. Carson paid high tribute to the early pioneers who had brought Christ- ianity to Canada. In his message he reminded those present of the 'beauty of the sky and earth which God made for mankind to enjoy. He also stressed to enjoy Sainthood with God because Eternity is God and God is Love. Plans were made for the service by members of the Trustee Board; Henry Hunking, Harry Webster, Lorne Hunking, Jack Lee, Thomas Cunningham and Andrew Kirkconnell.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, AUGU ; 28, 1974. -Looking at the eyes of It isn't often that we get a chance to look at our western Ontario way of life through the eyes of others. Such a view is provided by one of the young Texans who recently visited Huron county on the Texas -Ontario youth exchange sponsored by the Lions Club. Here is her view of Ontario as told in the Olton Texas Weekly: Miss Chesna Dickenson, travel- ing as Olton Lions Club's first youth exchange student, has recently returned from a six weeks visit on Canadian soil. She, along with 14 other youths from this area, flew to Detroit June 5, then continued via bus across the international line, Miss Dickenson and Steve Dila• hae of Snyder were assigned to homes in Brussels, Ontario. She described the town as "a story book village, located in beautiful green countryside, most of the houses two-storey, very few one level homes. Peonies were blooming everywhere when I arrived and everything was so clean!" Canadian and United States flags flying side by side, and "welcome" signs greeted her in the home of her host family, Mr, and Mrs. Ralph Pearson and three daughters. Recently graduated from Olton High School, Chesna was allowed to attend the last day of school at the local consolidated high school located at Wingham. Enrollment, at the school was about 2000. She was surprised to see that most of the students arrived at school via bus, very few drove cars. Their day was divided into nine' periods, classes were in- formal, very much like her own school days, though the students referred to their grades as "marks." She noted a very fine science program at the school, but was also aware of the absence of a music program. Five grades were offered in high school. Graduation may be achieved from grade twelve for • those not attending college, but college bound students attend a full thirteen years at the local level, In a later visit to an elementary school, grades one through eight, located in Brussels, she found classes somewhat smaller, a great school spirit and much enthusi- asm. Having arrived Wednesday. Chesna attended church Sunday with "her fancily" and was overwhelmed at the welcome given which made her feel very much a part of the host town. She was accepted as honorary ourselves others through Sweetheart of the Lions Club, adding to her acceptance, Many members of the Brussels Lions Club extended special courtesies to Miss Dickenson, Among them was a trip with the local bank president to Niagara Falls. The Snyder youth was also a guest on the tour. She stated that she enjoyed the beauty of the Falls and the opportunity to learn even more about Catiadian•United States history. She was privileged to see Lake Erie and Lake Huron. Swimming she said "was wonderful in Huron, there was absolutely no polution visible." She also had great appreciation for the St. Lawrence seaway. As a houseguest at the summer home of Miss Janice Johnston and her family, at Smith Falls, Ont., she was given the privilege of visiting Ottawa, with its impressive government build- ings. Among thethings to be remembered were the American Embassy, Parliament buildings, National Arts Center, National Art Gallery and Eternal Flame of Youth, a tribute to the country's confidence in its youth. She was present, July 1, on grass covered Parliament Hill for the national celebration of Dominion Day with all the pomp and ceremony of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police band, dancers and fireworks. Another impressive side trip for Chesna, who is interested in drama, was a trip to Stratford for the performance of a Shakespear- ean play. In London she visited the University of 'Western Ontario, which Miss Johnston attends. With an enrollment of about 17,000, the campus was impres- sive with many new and modern buildings, bicycle paths and beautiful trees. Because of excessive snowfall of the area, the buildings are connected by underground tunnels. Also very interesting was a trip to "Upper Canada Village" an acheivement in restoration which depicts early day life in the Dominion. A high level flight in a five passenger plane gave her a fine vantage point for viewing Georg- ian Bay, sunset on Lake Huron and a better general idea of the topography of the land. A low level flight, in an open cockpit plane, showed her the marsh- lands, trees in the fields, and points of interest near at hand. A natural phenomenon of great interest was the sight of "Northern lights," as seen from Brussels.

Etue, Seaforth Steve .1, Murray, RM. 5, Seaforth' In estimating the economic problems of Canada, the waste land, too stony to farm, She mentioned the many tourist attractions that had been built, especially in the arca of winter resorts, The political problem that seemed most evident to her, was the hassle for making Canada a bi-lingual land, Now an English speaking dominion, the French speaking people in Quebec wish to see a change made. Miss Dickenson could not clearly define any social problem. She said there was no racial problem, she did not see as much class difference possibly as is evident in her own nation. The impression was that people in Canada set goals for themselves, when they reach them they are satisfied and do not keep striving for greater gains. "Many of the exchange stud- ents", she stated, "Were more interested in sight-seeing than 1 was. To me the people were of the greatest interest. The first week 1 was accepted because 1 was a Texan, after that I began to make personal friends. 1 really tried to cultivate friends in all age groups, from small children to an 86 -year-old lady in a nursing hone who was very sweet. I'll not forget them, I did not feel like a stranger. It was very hard to leave. "1 greatly appreciate the excellent opportunity 1 had to make this trip through the Lions ti Youth Exchange Program. It came at a time in my life when I was ready to receive it, and I learned a great deal more than 1 ever dreamed 1 would," she continued. "I treasure these few Canadian coins I'm carrying, and plan to keep them....for someday I'm going to go back to spend them." But like every other traveler, Chesna finds it "simply great to be back home." She has always thought Olton was "A great place to be from, but its even better to come home to." tt4L.f....aff) OUR MAIL ORDER SERVICE El AS CLOSE AS YOUR Immo, namONE DRUGS DRUG SUNDRIES VETERINARY MEDICINES NOTICE As Reeve of the Village of Blyth I hereby declare MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 LABOUR DAY and respectfully request all citizens and businessmen to observe it as such.

Agricultural Tidbits Strikes can cause strange effects in the farm WITH ADRIAN VOS Union Carbide went on strike and it cost the farmer money, That may sound strange at first glance, If the grain handlers strike or the meat packers it is obvious that this will have a depressing effect on those commodities. Well, Union Car- bide makes most of the casings for sausage and when. they went on strike the packers curtailed the RURAL ROUNDUP The Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board is making preparation for a $1,00 per bushel interim payment to be made on 1973 crop wheat sold by Ontario wheat producers. The payment will be made in about one month, A statement issued by board chariman Fergus Young, RR1, Ennismore, following a board meeting held in Toronto Tuesday, August 20th, gave the following details. "Under the new pooling system inaugurated last year, producers received a basic initial payment of $1.51 per bushel for grade No, 2 or better, 14% moisture wheat, In December 1973, the board made an interim payment of 50c per bushel, and that brought the basic payment to producers up to $2.01 per bushel. This additional interim payment of $1.00 per bushel makes the sub -total to producers $3.01 per bushel, with a final payment to be made. ******** USE MANURE TO FERTILIZE FORAGES Better yields and improved soil structure are the benefits of using manure in a fertilization program for forage crops. "The nutrients in manure can be substituted easily for commercial fertilizers on grass -legumes and grass stands," says C.E. Moore, agronomist at the Kemptville College of Agricultural Technology. "Any kind of manure can be used on forages, provided there isn't too much straw in it or the straw has been shredded finely to break down easily," he says. "Spreading 10 tons of solid cattle manure on each acre of hay crop, for example, will provide an average of 50 pounds nitrogen, 20 pounds phosphate and 60 pounds potash per acre," Using manure, the forage stands build up their root reserves so that the plants can withstand winter conditions. They are also able to store potassium and phosphorus for fast growth next spring. Mr. Moore recommends that manure be applied no later than mid-September for best results, since forages in many areas of Ontario stop growing after this date, and the plants cannot make use of the nutrients. Farmers should make sure the manure is spread as evenly as possible to prevent smothering areas of the stands. Smothering is almost sure to occur also if manure is spread on forage fields in late fall or winter. The agronomist advises against using manure on pure legume stands. Apply commercial fertilizer. By manuring alfalfa and trefoil, you'll only promote the growth of grasses to compete with the pure stands," he points out. ******** NEW COURSE ON FARM ENGINEERING "Engineering for the Farm", an evening course available at the end of September, may be what you are looking for if you are a novice or part-time Ontario farmer. Two-hour lessons, given once a week for 10 consecutive weeks by Ontario Agricultural College professors • a number of whom are also farmers • will cover such topics as farmstead planning and layout, tractors and buildings; choice of fencing and cost; irrigation and drainage; health regulations for waste and sewage) tillage and planting equipment. Interest in agriculture and a desire to learn more about it are the only qualifications necesary for registration in this course and several more, such as field crops and horticultural science, that can be taken towards a certificate in applied agriculture. Classes will be held in Toronto, Guelph, Hamilton, Ottawa, London and Waterloo, and cost is $45 a person, $65 a couple or $75 a family. For more information contact the Applied Agriculture Program, Office of Continuing Education, University of Guelph, Guelph, or telephone 519-824.4120, extension 3401, as soon as possible. ******** FEED HAY AFTERMATH WHILE YOUR TIRED PASTURE REVIVES High temperatures, low moisture and heavy summer grazing can make your pasture look like a desert by late summer. "Legumes and grasses, growing at a slower rate than in the spring, cannot grow back quickly enough for continuous grazing," warns Ontario Agricultural College forage expert, Professor R.S. Fulkerson. He suggests that you give your meadows a rest by allowing your cattle to graze hay aftermath. Hay fields can be grazed once after an early second cutting with little chance of winterkill, although yield the next year may be slightly reduced. "Good hay aftermath is high in legumes and contains many leaves," he says. Protein and energy are readily available from it. However, it will provide the high -producing dairy cow with only 20 to 30 pounds of the 35 to 45 pounds of dry matter she needs daily to maintain her production, so her diet should be supplemented with a grain mixture. The cow producing 75 to 80 pounds of milk a day requires 15 to 20 pounds mixed grain, while the dry cow needs no grain supplementation. "Do not allow your cattle to waste valuable feed," says Professor Fulkerson. An electric fence, moved across the hayfield as the cattle clean up the forage behind it, can prevent wastage of up to 40 percent. If the aftermath in front of the fence gets too high for grazing, it makes excellent stored feed. Cut just before or as the legumes show first flower, the protein content of this stored feed can be as high as 20 percent. Beef cattle, especially yearlings, also do well on hay aftermath. Although the diet of cattle being finished for market may require grain supplementation, most other beef animals on hay aftermath need no extra feed. buying of sows with a resultant drop in prices. When facilities at the packer are sitting idle it costs him money, so he passes this loss on to the consumer in the form of a small increase on all his product. So a seemingly. unrelat- ed strike in industry makes for a loss to the farmer and a higher price to the consumer. ******* 1 saw a picture recently of a loin of hog of eight years ago and one of this year. The difference is truly amazing. While the old loin was almost half fat the new one had only a very small rim of this. It shows clearly what great improvement has been made over the last few years to improve the quality of pork. The Canadian hog has been truly redesigned. ******* Here is a quote from The National Hog Farmer, an Ameri- can magazine: "Many of us who are making the most noise about the middle man and about food prices could well paraphrase that industry of quoted comment of Pogo's about pollution: "We have the middleman, and he is us," That ghostly middleman is the pack- inghouse worker. He's the retail store employee. He's the truck - driver, the waitress, the baker, the frozen pie maker, "Labour makes up nearly half, 48 per cent of the marketing charges on food. Hourly labour costs of the food marketing firms increased 70 per cent since 1962. Part of that increase was reduced by increased output per man- hour, reducing the additional labour costs per unit of product marketed to 47 per cent. But that increase was not achieved by working faster or harder, it was achieved by large expenditures for new plants and facilities to a total of more than 3 billion in 1973 alone. Corporate profits before taxes rose no more than 4 per cent." Grant announced The Honourable Leo Bernier, Minister of Natural Resources, announces the approval of a provincial grant in the amount of $8,250.00 to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority to carry out a preliminary engineering study of the Bluevale Dam on the Little Maitland River at Bluevale. At present the dam and reservoir provides recreation such as swimming, boating and fishing in the Conservation Area. The dam is in a state of disrepair. The study will include an assessment of the structural condition of the dam, recom- mendations for remedial meas- ures and cost estimates for the repair. All member municipalities have been designated as benefit- ing and will be levied the Authority's share of the cost. Hobby farmers under microscope To be a part-time farmer! To conte home from a day in the shop or office and spend a few minutes feeding the chickens and patting Bossie affectionately on the rump; then to sit on the front porch and watch the sun sink slowly behind the distant hills as the crickets sing and the breeze wafts gently across the green pastures and fields of grain. Tobe a part-time farmer....paradise on earth! That's not exactly the way it says Julius Mage who has just earned a PH.D. degree at the University of Waterloo and whose doctoral thesis consisted of examining the part-time farmers of Waterloo county. He tried to find out who the part-timers are, how many of them there are, why they farm that way and what they do when they aren't farming. He found that many of them --25.5 per cent --in fact are what he calls "aspiring" farmers. Most of these are young people who hope to get into farming on a full-time basis some day; but for now they don't make enough to be able to give up their city jobs. He found that almost a third of them --31.9 per cent --are small scale "hobby and miscellaneous" farmers; 6.4 per cent were hobby farmers on a large scale; 21.3 per cent were "persistence" tarmers--former full-timers who arc virtually on their way out of agriculture; 12.8 per cent were "sporadic" part- timers and 2.1 per cent w ere cases he couldn't neatly categor- ize. He found the "aspiring" full-time farmers are strongly attached to farming; those who are just hanging on --the "persist- ence" group --have a low attach- ment. Those in the "sporadic" group tend to like it, but they also tend to have little success at it....so they move in and out as the pressures dictate. The hobby farmers tend to be highly educated dilettantes....doctors and business executives and so forth....though he found a couple who were caretakers in large buildings in the Kitchener - Waterloo community. Many of the hobby farmers were born on farms and like to get back to farm life, at least part-time. On the other hand, most of the people who are actually living in the rural areas are not farmers at all; in Waterloo county these "ex -urbanites" outnumber the farmers two -to -one. They don't, incidentally, live in old farm- houses; they're more likely to buy just a small acreage and put up a ranch -style bungalow on it. Mage found the part-timers are more prosperous than the full- timers because of their off -the - farm income. On the other hand, their net return for the amount of time they do spend on farm work is much lower than the full- timers. He says it's difficult to tell from driving through the country who is farming part-time and who is full-time. Typically, the part- timer has a smaller farm, and specializes in only one product. Dairy farming is less popular among them, partly perhaps because it takes more time. On the other hand, more than half the hogs raised in Waterloo county are on the farms of part-timers. Mage says part-time farmers nonetheless form an important part of the agricultural economy in Ontario. More than 35 per cent of Ontario farmers were part- timers in 1966; they operated more than 25 per cent of the farm area, and sold 21.1 per cent of the agricultural products. Since then the percentages have increased, and the trend is expected to continue. In addition, he notes more and more wives of full-time farmers are going to work in the cities. Now that he's a faculty member at the University of Guelph, Mage is continuing his studies; he has students working with him on similar projects in Rainy River, Dufferin county, around Ban croft and in Huron county.

Students spend summer researching wildlife in Hullett area • BY JIM FITZGERALD Clinton News Record To an ordinary person, the job looks fairly simple and easy task: how many varieties of animal and plant life are there in the Hullett Wildlife Management area? area? To an ordinary layman driving through the mixture of bush, swamp pasture and cash crops that are growing in the Wildlife area, that now exceeds 4,500 acres, the job doesn't look like much of a challenge, but to eight students working for the Wing - ham District of the Ministry of Natural Resources the job has taken up the full summer. So far, they have identified nearly 300 different species of animals, plants, trees and birds that inhabit the arca, and they haven't even touched the thous- ands of varieties of insects that also live there. The purpose of the whole research study this summer is to find out what resources are in the Hullett Wildlife area. Resources' in this case means what consti- tutes the environment of the Area. Once the full animal and, plant resources of the area are known, then according to the ministry of resources, a master plan can be drawn up for the area. Besides the resources available in the area, the master plan will include studies on who will use the area, where they will be coming from, what uses the area will be put to and what visitor services will be available. The master plans is expected to be • ready by mid-November and will probably form the basis of any future development of the Hullett Area. Uses presently being considered include, bird -watch- ing, hunting, camping, nature trails, and various other outdoor recreational activities. But before any of this can be carried, "we have to know what we have in the area," says Rene Jones, the resident biologist with the Wingham district of the Ontario ministry of natural resources. Mr. Jones is in charge of the eight students, who are head- quartered in the ministry's workshop farm on Lot 8, Concession 3 of Hullett Town- ship. All summer, the students have branched out from the workshop to dig, examine, note and collect specimens of all the plant and • wildlife that abounds in the 4,600. acre arca, which Mr. Jones notes is not a preserve to protect animals. "It will eventually have • far more uses than just to protect animals," he said. Currently there is a small preserve on the Hullett Wildlife area that is used by an assembly of migratory birds, including several hundred Canada Geese. When the arca reaches its full size, it will comprise nearly 5,000 acres and it will include a dam, that will flood about 2,000 acres of the area, turning it into a marsh. Because the Wildlife Area is only one mile north-east of Clinton, the area is expected to have great impact on the town, luring about 50,000 visitors into the area each year, says Nick Hill of the Huron County Planning • Department. Last year the Plann- • ing Department completed a . study on the impact of the Wildlife Area on the county, and recommended that an impact area one mile square around the wildlife area be carefully controll- ed as to future development. One of the most important steps to making the whole thing operational has been taken this summer with the survey conduct- , ed by the students to find out what was in the area. Seven of the eight students were hired under the provincial government's Student Working On Resource Development (SWORD). Working with the SWORD students was a summer student hired by the • ministry of natural resources, The students include Tom Lobb, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Lobb of RR 2, Clinton and, ;a second year science student at • .the University of Guelph; and Janet Millar, 23, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Millar of RR 2, Goderich, a graduate of the University of Waterloo.

Ambulances more than delivery service by David Woods Ontario's ambulance services deal with half' a million calls a year. Few of these, of course, lead to that siren -wailing, lights -flashing dash to the hospital. But the ambulance serves as a vital link - betwcen those who need help urgently and those who can provide it. Actually, it does more than that: its traditional role as transportation for the sick and injured has a new dimension today: the modern ambulance is an emergency room on wheels. Ten years ago, says Ontario's Director of Ambulance Services, Chuck Brubacher, there was little difference between an ambulance and a hearse, "They both provided lie down transportation; but one had a siren."

Roll call, A Grandmother's Recipe proved very amusing and old time remedies, Collection was received and Friendship Pennies, Mrs. Hallahan introduced the speaker, Mrs. Ivan Wightman 'who spoke on "Nutrition," giving the daily values of milk which contains calcium, iron, vegetables raw or cooked preferably raw where possible also eggs, meat including fish, breads, cereals and cheese quoting those low in calories but nutrition in our daily diet and menus. A penny auction followed which proved amusing and profitable, The meeting closed with the Queen and Institute Grace. Lunch was served by Mrs. Jack Taylor and Mrs. Stanley Black. But today's ambulance drivers are better trained, and the vehicles equipped lo provide emergency care - such as airway clearance, splinting, assisting in childbirth, and control of bleeding en route to the hospital. The problem today, says Brubacher, is that people don't really know when to call an ambulance, Or even how to. He estimates that about one in ten calls could just as easily be handled by private car or by taxi. When should you call an ambulance? Broadly speaking, when the problem calls for urgent help: an accident, a heart attack or any other form of acute illness or collapse, a fire or electrical mishap, a bad fall, violence, or when the patient is unconscious or incapable of movement. Motor vehicle accidents ac- count for about 12 per cnet of ambulance calls, illness or acci- dents at home 25 per cent, and the remainder arc other emergen- cies - or trips between one hospital and another. Mr. Brubacher warns that using the ambulance as a (convenience rather than a necess- ity may deprive others whose need could be very urgent. When phoning for an ambul- ance, he says, give your location clearly, give your phone number • and wait for this information to be repeated back to you. Then describe the problem carefully, so the dispatcher can give instruc- tions on interim first aid, This also helps the crew to bring the appropriate equipment. Ontario's ambulance service costs 30 million dollars a year; its 500 vehicles cover seven million miles, and the great majority of them - 450 • are owned by the provincial government. Sixty per cent of the budget, says Bru- bacher, goes into ensuring 24-hour availability of the service, As with other areas of health care, much of the work clone by the ambulance is preventive, But, like charity, prevention begins at home; and many ambulance calls could be avoided if the public were more aware of first aid techniques. Ambulance services personnel provide educational programs to schools and com- munity groups. The next time you pull over for an ambulance, consider the people who operate it • as well as the people who need it. The service can only work properly if it's used properly. And the life it saves niay one day be your own.

Safety precautions needed by David Woods Lead doesn't have to come in the form of a bullett to be hazardous to your health. This ancient, almost indestruct- ible, metal is all around us in one form or another: in the air, in the soil, in everyday products such as paint and piping, batteries and gasoline. Human beings have minute quantities of lead in them, too; and that's quite normal. But larger amounts can be decidedly dangerous. People whose occupations in- volve working with lead are, of course, the most vulnerable: smelters, painters, instructors in indoor firing ranges, and, less photocomposition techniques, typesetters. For all these people the answer is quite simply, to separate the lead from the worker. This means installing effective exhaust systems. eliminating dusty condi- tions, not eating in work areas - and not going home in lead -cover- ed clothing. Inhaling or ingesting too much lead can cause muscle weakness or lead colic, with intermittent abdominal pain. Prolonged ex- posure can produce anemia. There's also a muscle condition known as "painter's wrist drop," which occurs in adults. For some reason, lead poisoning affects muscles in adults and the central nervous system in children. Lead poisoning in children .may cause them to become sleepy, off color and irritable - and then have convulsions. This usually occurs because they've swallowed lead- based paint, peeling from old walls. Statistics on lead poisoning aren't too reliable, but the problem is a source of concern to public and industrial health workers. This awareness has brought action that removed lead from glazed drinking vessels, toothpaste tubes and other products. For the individual, the answer is to recognize that lead is a toxic substance - and a very powerful one. Keep the lid on paint cans, wash and change after painting, don't leave old car batteries lying around, and keep lead - in any form - away from children, As well as protecting yourself, remember that domestic and other animals can also suffer from lead poisoning. Farmers who empty tractor crankcase oil (which contains about 10 per cent lead) onto the soil are endanger- ing their livestock. And it's estimated that more than one million ducks and geese die each year - not from stopping hunters' bullets, but from eating spent lead shotgun pellets that lie on marsh or pond bottoms. Ann Landers Advice for Ann DEAR ANN LANDERS: Since you have been handing out advice so blithely for these many years, 1 thought it was time somebody gave YOU some. For openers; You need a face-lift and a new hairdo. You could also use some voice lessons. 'A friend of niy sister interviewed you in Portland, Maine, and she said you need a hearing aid, I'm sure you will never print this letter, but 1 do hope you will take the advice. --No Offense Meant --Just Frank DEAR FRANK: I doubt I will ever have my face lifted, but then I've learned never to say never. My face is 56 years old and I've earned it. But 1 still have everything I had 30 years ago, only it's lower, Every day someone tells me my hairdo is old-fashioned and it is, but I've worn it this way for 20 years and 1 happen to like it. Believe it or not, some people think it's fine. In fact, I asked for a show of hands at La Porte High School in Indiana last April. Every one (except the kid in the front row who asked me why 1 didn't change my hair style) voted for me to keep it the way it is. My voice 1 can't help. 1 was born and raised in Sioux City, Iowa and that's why 1 sound like a hog caller. I had my hearing tested several months ago. (after my daughter hinted that I was going a little deaf), and the doctor said my hearing is very nearly perfect, Maybe the reason i seem deaf is because I talk so much. But 1 do thank you for your advice. Nobody's perfect. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I just put down the telephone after receiving the most insulting call I've ever had in my life. 1 don't know if 1 am a thin-skinned or what, Will ,you please set me straight if I need it --or put the "lady" in her place. This so-called friend called and said, "1 am checking to find out if your party tomorrow is at 7:30 p.m. or 8:00." When I replied, "It's at 7:30," she said, "Do you plan to entertain us in your basement again or are you going to let us in your living room? I need to know how to dress." i was stunned but managed to reply, "We're having supper in the recreation room downstairs." Her response was, "Fine, I'II wear a pantsuit instead of a dinner dress." Ann, our recreation room N very nice. My husband did a lot of the work himself. No one has es er complained about being entertained down there, It's NOT a basement and I resent her calling it that. May I have your comments? --Slightly Singed DEAR S.S.: According to my dictionary, a basement is "that part of a building wholly or partly below ground level, used to house the furnace." Some below -the -ground -floor recreation rooms are extremely :aid functional for entertaining. But apparently your friend feels that being invited to your basement rather than your living room is something of a putdown and she is letting you know it. CONFIDENTIAL TO SINKING FAST AND NEED A LIFELINE: Hang on, no matter what. The last thing a person can afford to lose is faith in himself. He can lose his job and make a come back. He can lose his friends and find others. He can lose his money and make it again. But when he loses faith in himself he has lost everything. ******** l}.

Publishers -Hall Syndicate 401 North Wabash Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60611 bp East Wawanosh building bylaw revised East Wawanosh Council gave third reading to a bylaw which will alter building regulations in the township by establishing new minimum square footage regula- tions and the inauguration of trailer permits. The new bylaw, No. 6, 1974, requires anyone locating a trailer or mobile home in the township to apply for a trailer permit. The permit will cost the applicant a minimum of $3 and is payable when the application is made. The council also decided that 900 square feet is the minimum floor space acceptable for a permanent dwelling and 600 square feet is acceptable for a seasonal home, All buildings must now be located at least 75 feet from the centre line of a roadway. Those who apply for trailer' or mobile home permits must adhere to all regulations of the building bylaw with the exception of the square footage requirements. It .was brought to council's attention by the Wingham De- tachment of the OPP that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications felt a "no parking" sign should be erected to ban parking on the west side of Hwy. 4 for 30 feet south of its junction with Huron County Road 20, The recommendation was made to council after drivers had complained that their view to the south of the intersection was seriously obstructed. Council was told that the proceeds for a tile drain loan for Lot 33, Concession 4, had been forwarded and the inspector's fee, amounting to $21,20, had been paid to J. Gaunt, Council then passed a bylaw imposing special annual drainage rates on lands of individuals who had received loans for tile drains, John Lockhart's livestock claim of $163,90 was passed for payment along with a livestock valuer's fee of $8.05 to E. Snell. in other business council accepted a petition requesting a clean up of the north branch of the Hallahan Municipal Drain and also agreed to pay $150 to the Belgrave Arena Board for rent on the Belgrave Community Centre Room. Council passed and instructed that 'road accounts totalling $12,131.08 and general accounts totalling $2,973.14 be paid. 0 B AB WE NEED ALL TYPES BE A REGULAR BLOOD DONOR COMING EVENTS THE BLYTH W.I.

Echoing that sentiment via your wardrobe is a good idea for fall. But dressing in bits and pieces, or separates, is not a mix•a-and• match proposition. Unifying accessories such as Huronview news A party was held in the Craft room on Sunday afternoon to honour Mrs. Isabella Hamilton on her 100th Birthday. Seventy-five relations and friends attended the party with messages of congratu- lations being received from Mr. Robert McKinley M.P. & Mr. .lack Riddall M.P.P. Molly Cox, Norman Speir and .ferry Collins provided the old Lyme music for Monday's activi- ties. The Residents had an opportunity to congratulate and sing "Happy Birthday" to Mrs. Hamilton, who was able to make several requests for favourite tunes for the sing -a -long. Forty-four residents travelling by bus and van had a picnic at Harbour Park, Godcrich on Tuesday afternoon. The first stop on the tour was a visit to the Pioneer Museum and after lunch toured the harbour area, Sifto Salt Mine, The Fall's Conservation Area Benmiller and the Jervis Sanctuary at Holmcsville. The Crediton Women's Insti- tute were hosts on Wednesday afternoon for the August Birthday party. Mrs. Shapton was emcee for the following program. Violin and piano selections by Lois Hodgins and Mr. Sawyer, step dancing Mona Hodgins, a vocal trio Kathy Davey, Bevan and Janet Shapton readings by Jean Neil and piano recital Anne Dearing. Gifts were presented to the celebrants by the ladies and after singing of Happy Birthday, lemonade and cup cakes were served, Mrs. Foster, who was celebrating her 9lst birthday on Wednesday, thanked the ladies on behalf of the Residents. The weather was ideal for the band concert on the lawn on "Family Night" played by the Mitchell Legion Band, All of the residents were able to take advantage of the fine band music, as the windows were all opened on the west side Jf the Home, It was a real treat to hear the marches and familiar tunes. long mufflers and nionochroniatic color schemes suggest a look described by the New York Couture Business Council as "inseparable separates." Separates this fall are pulled together into two and three-piece suits or coat ensembles. in a recent showing, softly shaped velvet jackets were paired with hipline -lean skirts and blouses with neckline tics. Muffler -wrapped coats topped below-the-knee skirts in daytime and dinner ensembles. For those who more boldly express themselves with clothes, designers offer long capes to swirl over skirts or belted jackets paired with above -ankle skirts. NEW LOCATION Leathers and tweeds are strong fall offerings. Another is velvet cul into dinner suits and coat ensembles. Simpson showed printed velve- teen in wine -cellar red shaped into a soft skirt and jacket wrapped with a thin gold chain at the waist.

Adult Entertainment An orgy of the damned Pver.v l P. t; es vewls Tales that Witness Madness ADULT ENTERTAINMENT Food Sense in Canada- NLITRJTION PLMNTALI( BRAIN FOOD IN SALMON SANDWICHES Although the waters of( the British Columbia coast have been fished by Russians for centuries, that province's fishing from a commercial point of view was ignored by the rest of Canada until about 1890. Wrote Stephen Leacock: "This magnificent province of 366,000 square miles in extent, with its happy climate, immense resources, and its Pacific outlook, is an empire In itself. Yet for centuries it lay all unknown to the world while Europe struggles , for America," Of course today, British Columbia's beauty is equalled only by its economic importance; one reason being that B.C. repre- sents 90% of Canada's salmon catch each year. Salmon is one of Canada's favourites and naturally there are as many ways to eat it as. there are cookbooks. By far the largest volume of salmon reaching the consumer is canned. When choosing among the varieties available, keep in mind what the canned fish will be used for. Cohoe and pink salmon are great in casseroles where colour isn't too important. Sockeye is the brightest red and is most effective in salads and sandwiches. For a new twist on the salmon salad sandwich try this lunch- time pleaser. The enriched white bread, with its 3 "B" vitamins and Iron, together with the "brain food" salmon with Its high protein content are a nutritious way to send the youngsters back to school or for a family suppertime dish. It's simply called a fried salmon sandwich, or if you prefer "B.C, coast special," no matter the region of Canada where it is eaten. Fried Salmon Sandwich 1 73/4 -ounce can salmon 2 well -beaten eggs 1/3 cup milk Dash ground nutmeg V cup finely chopped celery 1/4 cup dairy sour cream 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish 1 teaspoon prepared mustard 1/2 teaspoon chives 1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed 1/4 teaspoon salt 8 slices enriched white bread Sesame seed 1 tbs. shortening Drain salmon, reserving liquid. Remove bones and skin from salmon; flake into bowl. In shallow dish, combine salmon liquid, egga, milk, and nutmeg. Blend together salmon, celery, sour cream, horseradish, mustard, onion, tarragon, salt, and dash pepper. Spread mixture evenly on 4 slices enriched white bread; top with remaining 4 slices. Dip each sandwich Into egg mixture; sprinkle with sesame seed. Fry in shortening till brown on both sides. Makes 4 sandwiches, ... or it a heartier meal is in order, try a salmon loaf. It's easy and economical to make. Salmon Loaf 1 Ib. can pink or cohoe salmon milk 1 cup enriched white bread, diced 2 eggs 1 onion, minced 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Grated rind 1/2 lemon, juice of 1 lemon 1 tbs. butter • Drain the salmon juice in a 1 -cup measuring cup. Fill with milk. Place all the ingredients except the butter in bowl, add the salmon and the milk. Stir until well blended. Melt the butter In an 8 -inch loaf pan. Pour in the salmon mixture, Bake in a 375°F. oven for 45 minutes. Special Note Remember bread keeps frozen without loosing Its freshness provided that it is wrapped in moistureproof freezer wrap. But it will only be as fresh when It comes out of the freezer as It was when it went in, Keep a loaf of bread on hand, It is a most useful food for sprucing up, adding flavour and stretching meals.

Flashy fire Blyth Firemen made short work last Wednesday of a spectacular fire in a grain field on the farm of Gordon Carter, RR 3, Blyth, Fire was burning quickly through several windrows of straw when firemen arrived but they quickly extinguished it. Behind the scenes Computer produces unintentional BY KEITH ROULSTON In this computerized age you never know just what kind of mail you may get when you subscribe to a magazine, or buy something from a mail-order house. The computer, you see, has you and me on record when we get a subscription or whatever and that makes it easy for your name to be sold to other companies who may want to send you important things like information on growing peanuts, or the latest sex techniques, or little gadgets that will increase your gas mileage by 17 times. Or amazing offers like one that came in the mail the other day about a personalized story book for our child (the same offer was made to a lot of people who were single or long past having children but then the computer can't be perfect), The computer was the real star of this effort. Not only did it select the name from the mailing list but it writes the book, inserting the name of your child, your street and your town into a pre -written story. It's a cute idea: a story book that has the child's name name as the donor. And they're, all part of a story that takes place on Keith Roulston. (Please be ' careful Cal who' you've got all those people on me.) And then comes the sample of the story itself, showing two firemen and a bee running past a sign post that reads Keith Roulston. The copy says: There was Suzy Standard and her friends Tom and Linda. There was her dog Sandy and the Fire right in it and I'm tempted to buy it because it would be hilarious in our case—and not for the kids but for adults. You see the poor computer was thrown a curve it couldn't handle. The subscription list we were on was for The Blyth Standard c/o Keith Roulston, Blyth, Ontario. The computer was programmed to handle three line addresses, the first being the name, the second the street address and the third the town. So our mailing came addressed To: Mrs. B. Standard, Keith Roulston, Blyth, Ontario. That was funny enough but get the sample of this computerized book and it's enough to bring tears to your eyes. It starts off with: B. Standard, this book is about YOUR son or daughter and an adventure with a bee right on Keith Roulston. It continues: Throughout your FREE book, Cal the Computer fills in your child's name, the name of his pets, his brothers and sisters and friends -•even your KEEP C4N4D4 GRO IN PLANT TREES! comedy Chief of Blyth all chasing down the middle of Keith Roulston :trying to catch the bee that could leave a trail of words in the sky 'over Ontario. ' You know I always thought it would be nice to have a street 'named after oneself but if it means having the Blyth fire department running down my chest I think I'll give up. Some of those guys aren't as light as they used to be. 11 7k No attp %labia At PacTo Co ecje Queen to be 'crowned at Plowing Match A Queen of the Furrow contest will be held September 14 during the Huron County Plowing Match 1 at the farm of Bill Elston, RR4 Wingham.
