Blyth village councillors expressed concern Monday night at their regular meeting for the
safety of children in two separate areas of town. The upper picture shows the old turnip plant
by the C.P.R. railway tracks which has a sagging roof on one section. The building is now
used as a warehouse. The lower picture shows a modern building which councillors aren't
confident is safe...the new portable classroom at the Public School which is set up on
concrete blocks [see insert]. Councillors were concerned for'the safety of the children using
the building and for those playing outside who might climb under the building.

Council to seek Gaunt's help
to speed up sewers
Blyth village council in its frustration
over inaction on the Blyth sanitary sewer
project is going to ask Huron -Bruce M.P.P.
for help.
Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh, referring
to his inability to get any answer as to the
progress of the project from the Ministry of
Environment said Monday night "It seems
nobody works there any more." He was
referring to repeated telephone calls to
offices in London and Sarnia when he was
told there was no one in the office he could
talk to.
Council originally dealt with the
Toronto office when the project first began,
but later reorganization within the ministry
left them in the jurisdiction of the London
office. Since that reorganization, progress
on the project has been minimal and
council has •not even been able to get a
report or an answer to letters or telephone
calls for several months. Mr. Gaunt has
offered to act on behalf of council to get
action and council decided to take him up
on his offer.
In business in relation to the Memorial
Hall Project, however, things were moving
considerably faster. Mr. Walsh told council
that a revised grant of $7,875 had been
approved under the Community Centres
Act rather than the $4950 originally
approved. A loan of $5,000 at eight per
cent was approved under the Winter
Works Project with part of this to be
forgivable once the construction is
completed. A New Horizons grant of $5000
is still not confirmed but Mr. Walsh was
confident it would be coming through.
A grant of $100 was received toward the
project from the Blyth Board of Trade.
Council indicated it would also be happy to
receive other contributions toward the
project from those who had expressed
support in the past. The contributions,
council said, may be left at the Village
Clerk's office.
It is still undecided whether to plan on
going ahead with the large storm sewer
project for the east side of town. Approval
of the project has been received from
several government agencies involved but
not from the Ontario Municipal Board
which must approve the project before
tenders can be let. Councillors are
uncertain of the effect of cold weather on
construction of the project.
Council was forced to help bail out the
Blyth Water Commission again to the tune
of $2500 because of a continuing deficit for
the commission due to considerable
expansion in the past couple of years. In
the past few years council aid to the water
commission has totaled $25,000, but
councillors agreed that the money has been
an investment in the future with such
projects as a new storage tank, new
pumping system and new mains. Council-
lors felt the improvements would start
paying for themselves soon.
Fire destroys
Auburn area
barn
Fire destroyed a large barn on the farm
of Mr, and Mrs, Keith Rodger, RR 2,
Auburn Thursday evening.
The fire broke out shortly after 5 p.m. on
Thursday evening and by the time the
Blyth fire department arrived, firemen
could do little but protect the nearby
buildings.
Blyth Fire Chief Irvine Bowes said the
probable cause was over heated electrical
wiring. '
There was no livestock in the barn at the
time but a Targe amount of feed was lost.
Chief Bowes put the loss at over $20,000. it
was partially covered by insurance.
E. Wawanosh
council meets
With the two year term of councillors
coming to an end, things are becoming
quiet as far as the amount of business
being done by councils.
The October meeting of East Wawanosh
township council saw building permits
issued to Peter Verbeek, Elmer Bruce,
Ralph Campbell, Clarence Hanna and
Donald Dow.
A title drain loan was approved and
accounts of $1,881 and general accounts of
$4,758.21 approved for payment.
Hill claims 'determined onslaught' against marketing boards
Current trends in agriculture and society
are threatening the future offarmers,
Gordon Hill, president of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture warned Thurs-
day night in Hensall.
Mr. Hill warned members of the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture that a
combination of rising input costs and
consumer resentment to higher food costs
are pushing farmers into a corner. He said
farm input cost have been going up for
some time but in the past couple of years
they've soared. He pointed to the cost of
petroleum products and fertilizer, the fact
that some farm machinery has increased 30
per cent in the past year and could go up an
equal amount in the coming year, the cost
of credit, labour and building materials.
Mr. Hill said livestock producers were in
the worst position. He said that in 1970 it
was estimated it cost $156 to produce a
calf. Today, he said, based on the rise in
input costs since that time, it should cost
$236. He told of a farmer he knew who kept
cattle all last winter and this summer and
got $10 less per head when he sold them
this fall.
This bleak outlook, he said, is combined
with a "determined onslaught" to destroy
marketing legislation. Mr. Hill said the big
city press is part of this onslaught by
"people who don't want to see farmers
well -organized and in a position to do
something in the marketplace."
WardenElston honoured
Morris Township honoured Warden and
Mrs. William J. Elston, Friday when a
capacity crowd was in attendance at the
Legion Hall in Brussels.
Prior', to lunch, James Mair, deputy -
reeve called Warden and Mrs. Elston to
the platform and voiced appreciation for
the many years of service to the
municipality and his election as warden of
Huron and the good wishes of those
present. They were presented with a
recliner chair and a tray.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Elston expressed
their appreciation for the gifts and the
evening in their honour.
Greetings were also brought from Perth
County by Warden L. Morrison at which
time he presented Warden Elston with a
copy of Perth County Atlas.
Music for dancing was supplied by
Silvertones of London.
Mr. Hill pointed to the situation over the
spoilage of two and a quarter million dozen
eggs and said no one had anything good to
say for the Canadian Egg Marketing
Agency during the uproar. No one pointed
out, he said, that C.E.M.A. saved
consumers money last fall by prohibiting
exports to the U.S. No one pointed out, he
said, that C.E.M.A. tried to get the
government to buy the eggs for foreign aid
but the government wouldn't buy, No one
pointed out that C.E.M.A. tried to sell the
eggs to the breaking trade,
The press, he said, didn't try to be fair.
They dealt with numbers of eggs saying 28
million, not talking in terms of dozens as
eggs are usually numbered. The press
i ursued a policy of "keeping it in front of
the public as long as possible", Mr. Hill
said, as they worked on a little detail each
day!
Recent treatment of C.E.M.A. in the
press which.ridiculed sending of eggs from
Newfoundland to British Columbia was
also unfair he said. The facts, Mr. Hill
said, were that the eggs had gone beyond
their normal shelf life and C.E.M.A. tried
to find a breaker who could handle them
before they spoiled. The only breaker who
could handle the eggs was in the West.
One shipment took only seven days and
arrived in excellent condition. Another took
three weeks and was shifted from one
box -car to another at least once during the
trip leading to considerable breakage and
spoilage for which Canadian National
Railways had accepted full responsibility.
This, however, Mr. Hill said, had not been
mentioned in news reports.
Mr. Hill said the "Committee to Reform
Egg Marketing" which has been formed by
some discontented egg producers would
destroy C.E.M.A, and warned that farmers
are being asked to finance the destruction
of their own marketing board by
supporting the. Committee. He said those
against marketing boards want the control
of farming to go back to those who
"continue to farm farmers." He said
farmers that don't support marketing
legislation are digging their own graves.
Mr. Hill said: "We as farmers are going
to have to be pretty careful --going to have
to look carefully at things put before us,
Nobody's against farmers until the farmer
tries to do something about improving his
income."
He called Professor Probes who leaked
the Forbes Report to the press last week, a
"shady charleton who picked up a bundle
of federal money to do a study and said
before he made it he knew what the
conclusion would be,"
Mr, Hill said he is even convinced Mrs.

THIS 'N' THAT
Village Council is looking for a
site for senior citizens apartments
in the village.
Representatives of the Ontario
Housing Corporation have been
frustrated in trying to acquire a
piece of land of sufficient size
(90,000 square feet). Qne piece of
property they were interested in
its tied up in a complicated estate.
So, 01:IC told council that if it
come up with the property, OHC
is ready to go ahead with the
building, otherwise, it will be
some time before the building can
be started. Council is trying to
find the property to speed up the
process.
*****
An interesting piece of inform-
ation was revealed at the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture
meeting in Hensall last Thursday.
W.L. Mickle, Director of the
Ontario Egg Producers' Market-
ing Board for Huron and Perth,
revealed that during a short
period recently some 30 million
eggs were imported from the
U.S., two million more eggs than
the famous 28 million eggs that
rotted and caused such a stink.
Whose eggs, he wondered, were
spoiling, Canadian or American.
*****
Municipal elections are just
around the corner. Nominations
will open on November 7 and
close at 5 p.m. on November 12,
Blyth council will hold a rate-
payers meeting on November 6.
So far, Councillors have made no
public statements for the record
as to the their intentions.
The election will be held on
December 2 with the advance poll
on November 23.

Separate. School Board finds cost of fuel oil higher
The Huron•Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board meeting in Seaforth last
week accepted the fuel oil tender
of Ross Scott Ltd, of Brucefield
for the year 1974-75 at a discount
of five cents per gallon off the
posted tank wagon price which at
time of tender was 36.9 cents for
all schools except Wingham
which is 37.5 cents per gallon.
Jack Lane, Business Admini-
strator, said the difference in
price for Wingham was that it is
located in a different provincial
zone. -..
Ted Geoffrey of Zurich said the
Scott tender was the lowest of
three. He said it was not a firm
price and will vary when the
refineries adjust their prices,
perhaps later this Fall, .
Mrs, Trudy Smith of Zurich
was appointed principal's relief at
Ecolc Ste. Marie at St. Joseph.
The City of Stratford will be
granted permission to use the
separate schools for the municipal,
elections upcoming in December,

under the board's jurisdiction at
Halloween.
St. Joseph's Church was given
permission to hold a C.O.R.
(Christ in Others Retreat) week-
end at St. Michael's School
November 8-10.
The sketch plans for the
addition at St. Patrick's School,
Kinkora, as presented by Brian
Carratt, architect, of Kyles, Kyles
and Garratt, Stratford have been
approved. They have been sent to
the Ministry of Education for
approval,
The board was notified that
three members of the clergy have
been appointed to the Trustee -
Clergy Librarian Committee --
Rev, A, J. Durand of Zurich; Rev.
Gordon Dill of Dublin and Rev. V.
J. Gleason of Stratford.
Commenting on the budget
print-out handed out by Arthur
Haid, chairman of finance
committee, Jack Lane said it was
well within budget expenditures.
Trustees are to study the report at
home and it will be discussed at
next meeting.
Sam Alberico, principal at St.
Michael's School, Stratford, has
been named as representative to
the Ontario Committee for Educa-
tion week,
That Board will wrtie a letter to
the council of Hibbert Township
to ask that top priority be given,
when -preparing next year's road
budget, to building a bridge on
side road 20-21, concession two of
Hibbert. Because the bridge is
posted to a limited load, the board
is unable to use the road when
transporting school students as a
school bus exceeds the restricted
weight. The board must pay for
an additional nine miles travelled
each day and this is costing
money, Donald Crowley, trans-
portation committee chairman,
said,
Howard Shantz of Stratford
asked that the Family Life
Advisory Committee, . which is
studying the report of the pilot
project on teaching the Family
Life program to Grade 8 students,
last spring, be prepared to report
back to the board soon. He said
he hoped to see the same
program *implemented to Grade
seven pupils as well as Grade 8
this year. Francis Hicknell, a ,

Editorial
Canadians are
good sports
Bill Smiley in his column this week calls Canadians the "biggest
sports crybabies in the world". Bill must be chuckling when he hears
the griping of Canadians after the goings-on in Russia this past week.
But despite the complaining, the series has shown that Canadians
are really very GOOD sports...especially compared to the Russians,
Jim Proudfoot, sports editor of the Toronto Star says that if Moscow
had a team in either the NHL or WHA it would be known for having the
worst fans in the league. We saw that very much in this series.
Canadian fans welcomed the Russians with loud applause when they
skated onto the ice, especially stars like Tretiak, Kharmalov and
Yakushev. Canadians applauded the play of the Russians, and in
Quebec and Toronto even applauded the Russians scoring the goals.
Most Canadians were even angry when a referee disallowed a Russian
goal.
In contrast, the Russians, convinced that Canadian hockey players
are fiends on skates, booed or whistled every time Canadians made
even the cleanest of body checks. They gave little welcome to Canadian
stars. And that's just the fans, not to mention the boorish treatment
accorded the players and their wives by Russian officials,
No, Bill, Canadians aren't the worst cry-babies around. We're so
sensitive to even such a suggestion that often we bend over backwards
to avoid it,...even to the point of letting the Russians take advantage of
us.
Another pressure tactic
Slowly, subtley, the Ontario government is trying to coerce all
municipalities in Ontario in Regional Government.
Another example of the sneeky, back -handed way of bringing in
regional government was unvieled in the program of assistance to
homeowners to bring their older homes up to present standards. The
program was announced amid big fanfare by the provincial
government recently. On the surface, it sounds like a great thing,
loaning money on a forjiveable loan basis to_ people to renovate and
modernize their homes. A closer look reveals it's just opening a giant
can of worms that will be a headache and a black -eye to local
municipalities, particularly the smaller ones.
The program alots $4 per capital to a minimum of $4000 to
municipalities for the plan with the municipality in charge of
administering the whole thing. That means Blyth, for instance, would
get $40000. Nobody likes to look a gift horse in the mouth, but just look
at the problems that can arise from that $4000. In these days of high
inflation how far will $4000 go? It might do a medium size renovation
program for one home in the village. Now is the council, which would
have to administer the plan, supposed to decide which of the several
hundred homes in town is to get the money?
In addition, there is the matter of administration. The cost of
administering such loans could be nearly as much as the loans
themselves, by the time you figure iii the amount of time and effort in
by municipal councillors and employees.
Some municipalities, however, will get a better break. The program
gives the Minister discression to grant up to $25,000 extra to regional
municipalities of under 10,000 population. One more carrot to get us to
go for regional government. Frankly, losing that 25,000 is still a
bargain compared to the costs we'd face if we WERE involved in
regional government.
A lack of Thanksgiving
Pick up your newspaper any day, listen to your radio any hour, spend
some time listening to conversations on any street corner, and you're
apt to think Canadians are among the least fortunate people in the
world.
Despite living in a land of plenty, we gripe about the price of steak,
about how hard it is to make a living, about the weather, about our
greedy neighbours or about nearly anything that gets on our nerves,
We are an ungrateful nation. We have the most, yet we cry the most
over what we lack. Yet it is what we don't have that we should be
grateful for. We don't have hunger...even our poorest people are well
fed compared to the natives of many lands, We don't have
overcrowding...with most of our nation virtually empty. We don't have
strict governmental controls...so we can do what we want within the
limits of a reasonably flexible law.
We are blessed with being able to love in one of the most beautiful,
bountiful and free lands in the world. With Thanksgiving around the
corner, surely for a few days at least, we can sit back and appreciate
what a good life we have, and decide to be thankful by helping those in
other lands who are less fortunate.

As others see it
The faulty concept of size
Thousands of otherwise intelli-
gent people are daily being
brainwashed into the belief that
this is the age of experts -that the
ordinary individual who has, over
long years, proven himself ,
capable of basically sensible
decisions, has no place in
present-day government. In
Ontario particularly, all the major
emphasis in government at the
provincial level is to centralize -to
form a few monster units of
administration where dozens of
smaller and more localized
committees, boards or councils
have traditionally looked after
public affairs.
One cif the earliest such
amalgamations occured a few
years ago when government
decree enforced the formation of
county school boards as a first
step toward complete domination
of the educational field by
Queen's Park. Similar and even
more sweeping centralization
appears to be on the way for local
hospitals and municipal govern-
ments.
It is, therefore, interesting to
read the comments of a promi-
nent Ontario educator, voiced at
the recent meeting of the
Canadian Education Association
in Regina and reported by Cheryl
Hamilton to The London Free
Press:
director of the Ontario Associa-
tion of Education Administrative
Officials said on Friday, "Strate-
gies for community planning and
grass roots involvement must be
found to reverse the adverse
effects of bigness and centraliza-
tion in the school system,"
The speaker amplified his
remarks by saying that while the
trend to larger units of adminis-
tration in education has achieved
greater efficiency and equality of
opportunity, it has also brought
"less desirable consequences".
Among them are "larger schools,
more complex administrative
processes, added layers of
administrative personnel, more
system -wide policies, a growing
gap between the student and the
policymaker and as a conse-
quence a decrease in sensitivity to
grass-roots needs and concerns,"
Mr. McCordic said that what-
ever the deficiencies of the little
red schoolhouse, it was a part of
the community and it was
virtually impossible to feel
remote from the school.
• Efforts are being made to
counteract the ill effects of larger
administrative structures and "it
is a far more complex matter than
simply announcing or deciding
that any given .school is to be a
community school."
The speaker said that politi-
cians, communities and civil
servants should work together on
a long-term plan to reclaim the
school for the community, but he
added that the climate for
receptive and rational decision-
making is "highly favorable."
Mr. McCordic, a former direct-
or of the Metro Toronto school
board, said parents expect more
from schools. They no longer
hesitate to hold school systems
responsible "not only for many of
our current social ills, but also for
most of the problems that beset
each individual child as well."
Mrs. Fiona Nelson, chairman of
the Toronto board of education,
who was a member of the panel
responding to Mr. McCordic's
speech, said school boards should
not under -estimate the intelli-
gence of the community. She
added that allowing the commun-
ity its voice is "messy, slow, .
fallible, and often causes real
disruption," but "it must be
done."
Mrs, Nelson added that the
tendency to centralize and make
things bigger brings alienation
and anonymity, problems which
are much harder to deal with than
coping with various small groups
who are acting apparently at cross
purposes.
The words of these experts in
the field of education express the
concerns of a great number of
parents and other residents of the
What have we got
to be thankful for?
BY LEONARD NOBLE
Monday, October 14, 1974 is Thanksgiving
Day. It will therefore be a long weekend, and
if you're like me, you'll be looking forward to a
real 'sit down meal' with roast turkey and all
the trimmings.
I suppose a lot of people will ask, "what
have we got to be thankful for, just because
it's Thanksgiving?" Perhaps they'll have a
point, what with inflationary prices for all of
the food on our tabie on that special occasion,
Nevertheless, I think of so many reasons to
give thanks, and I might add that I'm not a
particularly religious person who goes around
giving prayers of thanks - • not that there's
anything wrong with that either,
Nevertheless, when I witness the sunrise or
the sunset outside of my house on the shores
of Nottawasaga Bay, I can't help but give
thanks for the mere fact that I'm alive, and
able to drink in the beauty of this natural
phenomenon which is there for the viewing
every day of the year.
When one of my children comes running to
me with a "frozen bug", and I tell him that
inside is a sleeping caterpillar and that
someday it will emerge as a beautiful
butterfly, and I seem the amazement in his
eyes, a
swe put
"frozen the fro
bug" in its
1back
secret resting place, then I am thankful for the
wonderment that I see in my child.
I am thankful for so many things that money
cannot buy, Health --touch wood, --not only for
myself, but for my whole family.
I'm thankful for my wife and family • - and
without either trying to sound corny or
maudlin, I don't think that my life would have
any great importance or fulfillment without
them.
Above all else, l'm thankful for the fact that
I have the opportunity to earn a living and to
enjoy some of the nice things that life has to
offer.
I'm thankful for the fact that I have an
opportunity to assist others less fortunate than
Y
myself, through the medium of a service club
and charity. I don't believe that there is
smaller communities affected by
the centralized school system,
who are now all but out of touch
with those who control school
board decisions. In fact, were it
not for the regular reports carried
by this newspaper, the general
public would be totally ignorant of
the proceedings of the board of
education. One representative is
elected to speak for one, two
or more municipalities and the
system does not provide for a
forum at which he or she has any
opportunity to answer questions
from the public or report to those
who would still be interested in
this vitally important aspect of
our social and political structure.
To suggest that the county
school board system is all bad
would be unfair and untrue. As
the speakers at the western
conference admitted, the central-
ized system offers opportunity for
certain efficiencies and broadens
the scope of educational experi-
ence for the students. However,
there is little doubt that it has
dangerously eroded the involve-
ment and consequently the
interest of those all-important
people -the parents and the tax
-payers.
It would stem obvious that
some compromise is necessary -a
local sub -committee perhaps,
which could relate to the
community the problems, policies
and achievements of the central
board, and in turn provide for that
board a broader reflection of the
community's needs and wishes.
Thus it should be equally
obvious that the rush toward
centralized municipal govern-
ment and wide -area hospital
administration must be halted
long enough to absorb the lessons
provided by the school boards and
to modify the autocratic blueprint
so it will include more meaningful
dialogue with the "little people"
who, incidentally, arc the employ-
ers and the financial backers of
our present day experts.
-LISTOWEL BANNER
anything more soul satisfying than having the
opportunity to assist one's fellow man who is
unable to assist himself,
I'm thankful for the seven cats and two dogs
that make up the animal contingent in our
family. I never would have believed that seven
cats could appear and disappear as
miraculously as they do around the house, nor
just how big a baby ten week old male German
Shepherd is, •that must be constantly
comforted either by ourselves or our year and
half old Siberian Husky.
Now if you top all that off with good friends
and good neighbours, then it's pretty hard not
to bow one's head and give a little thanks to
the Good Lord who made it all possible.
I know that my hopes, aims and ambitions
are, in the main, no different than your own,
because they all boil down to two things in the
end, love of one's family and friends, and
security. '
We do have something to be thankful fors

Plumptre is being used by those opposed to
marketing. He pointed out that farm
marketing boards are the only groups she
has zeroed in on after giving both the food
chains and processors very little criticism.
Mr. Hill showed the difference between
farm prices and supermarket prices by
looking at a one pound bag of white beans
which costs 26 cents from the farmer but
increased another 48 cents between the
farm and the supermarket shelf, He said
he'd like to find out why the cost had to go
so much higher and though perhaps Mrs.
Plumptre might take the time to find out
after she had wrath "vented t her o n
the
farmers and established her board as a
permanent agency."
This week, I'm going to make
two predictions, For too long, I've
been hiding my light under a
bushel, when it comes to
forecasting, and it's time to come
out from under the bushel and
reveal that 1 am somewhat of 'a
seer, when it comes to the future.
Years ago, 1 came out against
capital punishment, It was done
away with. I said we should let
Red China into the U.N. It was
done, 1 said the trout were
disappearing from our streams,
because of pollution. They did, 1
suggested I would never be rich.
I'm not.
But nobody paid any attention.
Only within the family did anyone
realize that I had the gift of
prophecy. 1 told my son, "If you
don't stop goofing around, you're
going to flunk out of college," He
did. I told my wife, "If you don't
stop worrying so much about
everything, you'll be a nervous
wreck." She , is. 1 told my
daughter, "If you pick up that
baby up every time he utters a
whimper, he'll be spoiled silly."
He is,
You see even my own family
didn't put much faith in me, even
though I'm always right. I'm
somewhat like Cassandra, the
lady from the ancient Troy, who
was given the gift of foreseeing
the future, and, at the same time,
the curse that nobody would ever
believe her.
O.K. It's time to go public. If
I'm right, I'll have politicians and
poets, actors and authors, beating
a path, to my door. Will 1 win?
Will I be famous? Will 1 wow
them? Will I write the great
Canadian novel?
I've • decided to take on an
assistant, though it's only to keep ,
his mother from starving in a
cock -roach -ridden apartment.
He will be Nikov Chen, my
grandbabby. He's half fey Irish
and half romantic German and
half blunt Canadian. That makes
him 150 per cent. A natural. If he
chortles, I'll tell my whining
clients "Yes", If his face wrinkles
and he starts to whimper, as he
does, I'll give my customers a
blunt, "No". We should nuke a
million. With the new child labour
laws, 1'l1 probably have to give
him ten per cent.
Well, here's my first predic-
tion, This is being written after ,
the first half of the Canada -Russia
series. They are all tied up.
With that group of tottery old
men, who have given a great
account of themselves, and those
unknown young players, make up
the WHL team, it takes a lot of
courage to come out with a blunt
forecast of the final result.
But here it is. I predict - and if
I'm not right on the nose, I'll
drink a bottle of vodka on the
town hall steps - that 2,400 of the
2,500 Canadians going to Russia
for the games there will be drunk
sixty per cent of the time, and
hung over the other forty per
cent.
As for the series itself, what
does it matter who wins? It's only
a game, though a ' rather
entrancing combination of ballet
and mayhem,
Besides, Canadians are the .
biggest sports cry-babies in the
world. If we lose, we were
robbed. If we win, it's a victory of
free enterprise over authoritar-
ianism. This is a nation of
Monday morning quarter -backs
and late Saturday night referees.
We're a nation of experts,
especially in hockey. After all, for ,
several generations, all that the
world knew Canada was any good
Let me tell you
about the future
at was producing maple syrup,
rye whiskey and hockey players,
I've heard women who
wouldn't know a shift from a
nylon slip castigating the Cana-
dian players for all sorts of sins.
I've heard mature men, who
couldn't even skate on their
ankles when they were kids,
shouting obscenities at our
players because "They're not
hitting enough, fergawsake."
I've heard teenagers of both
sexes cheer when some Canadian
ape rammed his stick into a
Russian's teeth.
Well, that's my first prediction.
The second is that I'm vine ' to
win Mayor Drapoo's lottery. First
prize, A cool million, tax free.
This prediction is based on a
combination of prophecy and
logic, not just a wild hunch.
Look. In the past two years,
I've broken my toe, my nose, two
ribs, and the law. I'm not saying
that the Lord is picking on me. 1
just don't think he's been keeping
an eye on this little sparrow when
he falls.
It's time for a different kind of
break, and the law of averages
suggests to the occult side of me,
that it's going to be the Big
Million.

Agricultural Tidbits
Food price increase Tess
than input increase
WITH ADRIAN VOS
Food prices are expected to be
up by 15 per cent at the end of
this year, over the last 12 months,
This is the rather sad prediction
of the Food Prices Review Board.
You, housewives shouldn't as-
sume that the farmer has a raise
in his income that percentage, for
at the first of July the farm imput
was up by 18 per cent.
Where did the difference come
from? The supermarkets granted
a hefty increase to their workers,
so their costs are up too, Guess
who is the loser, it's not very
hard, Both the consumer on fixed
income on one end and the
farmer -producer on the other
end. So what's new.
Texas dairy men and ranchers
are not taking it any more. Earlier
this year they,killed their chickens
because they refused to subsidize
the public any more. Now l see in
the paper that they also refuse to
subsidize the public with meat.
They figure it is cheaper to knock
their calves over the head when
they are born than to go on and
lose $100 a head by feeding them.
Actually it's no different from
what studebaker did a few years
ago. They lost money on the cars
they were making, so they
stopped producing them, People
in underdeveloped countries
could have made good use
of Studebaker trucks to improve
their living. These same people
could make good use of meat to
improve their nutrition. Is the
farmer supposed to bear the cost
any more than Studebaker was?
Some way should be found to
encourage the farmer to produce
as much as he possibly can.
Do you have a solution? If you
have, come forward with it and
the world will be grateful to you.
Or would they? There was one
Man who had the solution. He
said to share even your coat. But
he was crucified for his solution.
*****
Mac Arthur, the famous
Canadian writer, wrote 60 years
ago in the "Farmers Advocate"
that wealth should be distributed
by the contribution people made
to society. This means that the
farmer, as producer of food
should have the highest income,
followed by labour for they are
the ones that produce. The
speculator should be at the
bottom, for he is only a parasite.
Alas, it's the other way around, •
Board lets contract
BY WILMA OKE
The Huron County Board of
Education Monday at a special
meeting in Clinton accepted the
tender of Refflinghaus Construc-
tion Company of Goderich for the
construction of the addition to
Victoria Public School, Goderich.
The Refflinghaus tender, low-
est of four received, was $744,243
and is subject to approval of
Ministry of Education and
Ontario Municipal Board.
The project includes the de-
molition of the original two-story
Victoria School building erected
in 1910; a single storey addition
for home economics, industrial
arts and music rooms; a two-
storey section --on lower floor, a
kindergarten, and a general
administrative area such as
principal's office, secretary's
office and staff room; and on
upper floor, library resource
centre and two classrooms; and a
new section of three classrooms
and a multipurpose room to
accomodate the trainable retard-
ed pupils. The latter group,
numbering 26 pupils are enrolled
at Queen Elizabeth School, in the r
former St. Peter's Separate
School in Goderich, and is rented
from Huron -Perth County Roman '
Catholic Separate School Board.
There are 451 elementary
pupils in Victoria School from
Grades 1 to 6. They will be
accommodated in existing spaces
in the school during the construc-
tion period.
In other business the board
approved another project to be
included in its capital forecast for
1975. Each school board is
required each October to propose
its prime capital expenditures for
a five-year period. At the last
board meeting in September
approval was given of a list of four
suggestions for elementary
schools and one for secondary.
The addition approved Monday is
a capital forecast for secondary
schools. It proposes the purchase
in 1975 for computer or computer
services, primarily as an instruc-
tion aid, at a cost estimated to be
$40,000.
Robert Allan, Superintendent
of Education, one of members of a
committee studying the computer
proposal said the committee is in
very preliminary stages of the
study. Other members of the
committee arc Roy Dunlop,
Business Administrator, and re-
presentatives of the five second-
ary schools.

Effect of frost on corn studied
by expert
TERRY DAYNARD
DEPARTMENT OF CROP
SCIENCE, O.A.C.
Contrary to common opinion in
North American, the recent frosts
are unlikely to have stopped the
development of immature corn
plants. Any temperature below 32
F will kill the leaves of corn, but
significantly lower temperatures
arc required to kill the rest of the
plant.
Progressively lower tempera-
tures (and lengths of exposure to
these temperatures) are required
to kill the upper stalk, lower stalk,
and finally the car of the plant. 1f
only the leaves of the plant are
frozen, the plants will continue to
move sugars out of the stalk and
into the grain for another 2 to 3
weeks. A similar phenomenon
will occur if only the upper stalk is
frozen as most sugars are stored
in the lower stalk. Ear develop-
ment can only be stopped
completely if both the lower stalk
and the ear are frozen.
A check of several fields in the
Guelph area this week has shown
that the frosts of this week were
severe enough to freeze leaves
and upper stalk, but not the rest
of the plant. Temperatures
reached 25-26 F on both
September 23 and 24 at Guelph
and we would expect the
following to happen to immature
grain and silage corn over the
next 2 to 3 weeks.
*Grain: Kernels will continue to
develop for much of this period
using stored stalk sugars. I would
expect many fields to put on
another 10 to 20 bushels per acre
during this period. The fields will
not yield as much as without the
frost, but no one should panic and
harvest them before all kernels
show black layers soriielime in
early -to -mid-October.
Lodging may be severe. Resist-
ance to stalk rot can be related to
sugar levels in the lower stalk and
because of reduced sugar concen-
trations, stalk rot damage will be
higher than normal. As a result,
harvesting should not be delayed
unnecessarily.
In general, we would expect a
pattern similar to 1965 when the
first frost came on August 30. Our
plots put on an additional 20 - 40
bu/acre after the frost, but by
mid-October we had over 95 per
cent lodging.
*Silage; Because of respiration
losses, total plant dry matter yield
will drop steadily with time. A lot
of water was lost from frozen
leaves and upper stalks during
the day immediately after the
frost and, because of husk -death,
the rest of the plant will dry more
rapidly than normal.
With unfrozen plants, 65 per
cent whole -plant moisture corres-
ponds approximately to 45 per
cent grain moisture; with frozen
plants, 1 would expect the
corresponding grain moisture
content to be closer to 50 per cent.
This corresponds to a stage when
the kernels are dented and not
juicy in the upper (outer) part of
the kernel, but are still quite juicy
below. Silage should be harvested
as early as possible to avoid
excessive respiration losses, but
not so early as to cause seepage.
The corn will dry down more
quickly after the frost, but not
instantly.
On a dry matter basis, corn
silage from immature frozen corn
should be just as digestible and
valuable for feeding as "normal"
silage from more mature corn;
provided the immature corn is
ensiled at a moisture content
below 70 percent; animal dry
matter intake wil be satisfactory.
As a result, we would suggest
that farmers with well -advanced
corn, who had planned to ensile
their crop, might consider filling
their silos with immature corn
from a neighbour /and keeping
their own crop for grain. Both
parties, and the province, could
gain financially.

From the
Minister's Study
BY TED HOOGSTEEN
BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH
A good friend, inflicted with a terminal cancer, made a rather
perceptive observation about his visitors. They had come early this
summer, no doubt to offer comfort, yet resorted to complaints about
local weather conditions; with the wetness of the land and the late start
of the crops they were fearful that most crops would not reach
maturity.
However, the agricultural growth fared better than hoped for and the
harvest is coming apace. Are these same visitors expressing
thankfulness now? No way! They're not even coining back. Our friend
is hurt because of this lack of thankfulness on the part of many; his pain
is perhaps less for himself than for these 'friends' in their selfishness.
For him, every day is a gift; every night without pain a blessing. More
than at any previous time in his life he understands the goodness of
God, and his power in the land.
Thankfulness is not an inherent virtue in the human race; it more
often than not like a fleeting sunbeam quickly covered with clouds. And
that is strange, especially now in the disparate food distribution in the
world. What we eat in one meal, many must, in a state of subsistence,
spread over an entire week. The expression 'the abundance of the
earth' is meaningful certainly for our community. The richness of the
soil and the abundance of the harvest impress us with the goodness of
the Creator of this world.
From the Scriptures conies the call of the Lord: "And whatever you
do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Col. 3.17) The only
meaningful thanksgiving is that which is directed to the God of heaven
and earth, expressible in prayer, in communal worship, and in gifts to
the hungry.

Wingham Hospital
Board worried
over
Mustard plan
Prophecies of unwieldly
bureaucracies, the establishment
of regional "health czars" and
loss of local voice in health affairs
abounded as the Board of
Governors of Wingham and
District Hospital discussed what
Board Chairman R. P. Ritter only
half in jest labelled the "infamous
Mustard Report" at a board
meeting recently.
The report being discussed was
one recently released by the
Ontario government which calls
for a restructuring of health care
in the province.
The chairman started the
discussion with the comment that
he had waded through the
proposal and found that it has
some startling recommendations.
He explained to members of the
Board of Governors who were not
familiar with the report his view
that the voice of local hospital
boards, especially in the region
that will incorporate Wingham
and District Hospital, will dis-
appear beneath a bog of 15
regional, area, and district
committees which would be set
up by the recommendation.
Robert Gibson reported that he
had been involved with the Huron
County Health Unit's brief
against the proposed health care
plan. Executive Director Norman
Hayes complained that the plan
was ill conceived. He added that
he would be wary of attacking the
report because such an attack
should be supported by an
alternative scheme which is as
good or better than the proposal.
He could not understand how the
government could expect the
people of the province to gain
more direct contact with the
government on health matters,
which is one of the aims of the
new scheme, when the govern-
ment insists on setting up an
ever-increasing jungle of bureau-
cracy. Mr. Hayes labelled that
notion
academic and said the
actual outcome of the Mustard
' plan would be the creation of
"regional health czars" comfort-
' ably ensconced in an unwieldly
tangle of boards and committees
which have little local input.
The director pointed out that
the matter will not stop just with
health care, noting that it
probably is less than coincidental
that boundaries used in the
scheme correspond directly to
those used by the Ministry of
Family and Social Services which
administrates welfare programs.
However, he held out little hope
that government could be blocked
in the scheme since the Ministry
of Health has been re -organized
recently to accommodate such a
scheme.
Doctors on the board were
angry because the new plan
would call for hospitals to, become
specialized in a limited facet of
healthcare as well as the fact that
the government will certify which
doctors are to practise in which
areas.
Mr. Ritter suggested that the
only way to kill the scheme would
be to produce briefs by every
conceivable committee and board
involved in health care and to
crush it by sheer volume of paper.
In his director's report. Mr,
Hayes told the board of Govern-
ors that he had a "feeler" from a
psychiatrist in Goderich about
establishing a psychiatric day
care program in the clinic
building one or two days a week.
The director emphasized that the
suggestion is still only in the
talking stages but he seemed to
favor the idea. Mr, Hayes also
reported that the hospital has
been unable to get a full time
physiotherapist from Walkerton
has been providing his services
between 5 and 9 p.m, during
weekdays but the hospital would
like to have someone on staff all
the time. The director suggested
that the hospital may have to
advertise in London for an
applicant.
Trousseau Tea held
A trousseau tea was held on
Saturday, October 5 at the home
of Mrs. Lawrence Taylor for her
daughter Joyce 'Taylor.
In the afternoon Mrs, Norman
Thompson and Mrs. Charles
Showers poured tea and in the
evening Mrs. Beatrice McPher-

Windmills
solution
The energy crisis generated
power -filled, new ideas. Like
windmills.
Late last summer the president
of a power company on a tiny
island off the Rhode Island
coast --Block Island --learned that
diesel oil for the generators would
be in short.- supply soon. His
solution? Building windmills!
The power company is now
building six giant windmills, with
blades as big as city buses.
The blades themselves have to
be capable of withstanding wind
speeds of up to 150 miles per
hour. Hopes are that the
windmills will be operational as
early as 1975 and supplying 70
percent of the island's power
needs.
The population on the island
peaks in summer to 7,000 people,
Winds average about 13 miles per
hour during the summer and
twice that during winter. The
power company says it will
probably be cheaper to build the
windmills than a conventional
oil -burning station with the same
generating capacity.
The president of the company,
Henry Hutchinson, says, "You
know, this really isn't that far out.
There used to be six -and -a -half
million windmills in the Midwest
until about 1935 --when the
government made people give
them up to encourage electrifica-
tion. That just about ran the
windmill industry out of the
country."
Windmills may or may not
regain their lost prominence. But
they certainly are one way to
create clean energy.
To find out other ways to make
the air cleaner, contact your
Christmas Seal Association. They
have some ideas of their own. It's
a matter of everyone's life and
breath,
evening. Miss Julie 'Thompson
was in charge of the Guest Book.
Those displaying the gifts and
the trousseau were Karen Tyn-
dall, Pat Mothers, .lane Thomp-
son, Doreen Taylor, Susan
Thompson, Margaret Cook and
Elizabeth Leddy.
Those who helped in the
kitchen included Mrs, Roy Robin-
son, Mrs, Calvin Robinson, Mrs.
John Phillian, Mrs. .lim Taylor
and Mrs. Mason Robinson.

Behind the scenes
Despite hockey loss Canada best
BY KEITH ROULSTON
The great Canada -Russia con-
frontation in hockey is over for
1974 with many Canadians
convinced more than ever about
the power of Russian in hockey.
Don't count me among that
group.
Canadian admiration for the
Russian national team's ability
grew following the 1972 series
when Canada barely squeezed out
a victory in the series. For some,
victory confirmed that Canada
was still tops, but though it
thrilled me, if also left me with
doubts about how long we could
continue to win. The impressive
statistics about the 1974 series
will convince many that Russia
has surpassed Canada in hockey.
but to me, looking beyond the
scores, it demonstrated that
Canada is still number one.
Many in Canada of course were
surprised by the strength of Team
Canada 1974 since it was drawn
from the supposedly weak World
Hockey Association. When Team
Canada started strong I was
relieved but not surprised be-
cause the media and hockey fans
in general had underrated the
strength of the WHA for some
time. In addition, few people
realized the importance of coach-
ing and the superiority of Billy
Harris over the '72 coach, Harry
Sinden.
Thirdly, most people had built
the Russians up in their minds to
place of unbeatable superment,
the same way they have built up
many North American teams in
the past only to see them look
ordinary against a smart hockey
team.
Why are we still number 1?
Well, the score shows the
Russians won four games,
Canada one and three ties. The
disputed goal in game seven, of
course, would have made it 3,2
and 2, the Russians still well
ahead. Yet if you look, beyond the
scores and go through the series
game by game, the two teams
were about equal. But for stupid
penalities and momentary let
downs by the Canadians that the
Russians took advantage of and,
of course, the shniannigans of
game 7, all three tic games
should have been Canadian
victories. In short, it wasn't a case
of Russia winning the series but
of Canada losing it.
As these, of course, were not
our best players. Many of them
were good, some great, but they
weren't the best available. They
demonstrated that they could win
by playing a style of hockey that
checks the Russians every time
they touch the puck. They showed
the Russians are only human after
all. They lost only when they
Ann Landers
Getting smashed
no solution
DEAR ANN LANDERS: I've been reading your column for many years
and have never seen a single letter from a person who is suffering from
claustrophobia, the fear of being in a closed -in area. I don't mean the
ones who are afraid to walk into an elevator; I mean people who panic
when they enter a theater and can't find an aisle seat near the exit.
I am a victim of this terrible sickness and it's killing me. I can't even
sit in the back seat of a car unless there's a door I can put my hand on.
Of course, plane travel is out of the question. I must drive, take a bus or
a train, and even then I'm terrified. I have children who live thousands
of miles away and my claustrophobia prevents me from visiting them.
I've seen a Catholic priest, a physician and two psychiatrists, but no
one can help me. I'm a prisoner of my illogical, crazy mind.
People have told me to get smashed on booze or dope myself up on
tranquilizers and get into a plane, or an elevator or a phone booth, the
places 1 dread going.
is this sound advice? Please tell me. —ANOTHER ANN
DEAR ANN: Getting smashed or doped up is no solution. My advice is
to go to a third psychiatrist and talk your head off. Get to the root of
your deep-seated anxieties. A good therapist should be able to help you
if you leve with him (or her) an stick with it. Claustrophobia
(particularly) the severe type in older people) is very difficult to cure,
but it is NOT impossible.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: I need your help to reach millions of parents.
Please give it.
1 just put down my newspaper after reading about a four-year-old
who drowned in the family swimming pool. Two days ago it happened
to a three-year-old. We live in Southern Florida. What with the pools,
the lakes and the ocean, it's impossible to keep children away from
water.
These drownings are senseless. Our daughter is three years old and
can swim the length of any Olympic -size pool. She is not a "wonder
child". She is bright, yes, but no genius.
Most people don't realize children can learn to swim when they
are barely out of infancy. I help out at a recreation center and I've seen
several children under two years of age who have been taught to swim
there. They go for lessons one hour a day for two weeks. After the first
week, every youngster can jump off the diving board and get back to
the side of the pool unaided. On the last day, the child must jump into
deep water, fully clothed, shoes and all, so he'll be able to handle
himself if he falls in a pool or out of a boat accidentally.
Parents, please contact the nearest recreation center or swimming
school and make sure your toddler learns how to swine before they
become statistics. --FT. LAUDERDALE
DEAR LAUD: 1 like the concept of teaching young children to swim, (1
wish my mother had read about it in Dorothy Dix's column 55 years
ago. 1 STiLL don't know howl) But 1'd check with my pediatrician for
individual problems if my child were under three.
DEAR ANN: A word to that gal whose relatives bugged her by asking
to borrow her expensive new luggage. The solution was in her opening
sentence: "For years 1 traveled with crummy suitcases,"
When the clods ask, she should offer them her crummy suitcases. •-
YOUR BACKSTOP
DEAR BACK: Thanks for the assist. Your answer was better than
mine.

deviated from that checking
pattern. The Russians are famous
for their power play, yet the
Canadians were far more potent
with the man advantage, though
they didn't often get it.
Canada showed that it also has
greater hockey depth than the
Russians. In two series we have
played them pretty much evenly,
yct we've used few of the sante
players. No doubt, we could put
together a third team that with
the proper coaching could do as
well as this team, and would use
none of the players used
previously. Still, the score is the
only thing that counts in the long
run. What do we have to do to
change the score next time
around?
Abviously, we've got to stop
the squabbling between the
N.H.L. and W.H.A. long enough
to get the best players from both
teams together for a new Team
Canada. We've got to get Billy
Harris back as coach, although
after the harrowing days in
Russia he must be wondering if
he ever wants to go there again.
We've got to put together another
team with a good blend of young
and experience such as the one
we've just seen but perhaps with
a little more youth.
We've got to leave the
neandrathal woodchoppers like
Jing Harrison, Johnny Mac-
Kenzie, Wayne Cashman and
Dave Schultz at home where they
belong. We've got to take smart,
skillful hockey players with class
like Orr, Hull, Esposito and
Backstam, Howe, McGregor
(though they may be too old by
the next series).
Canadian hockey is based
around skill of the individual
player not a tight team system,
and to make the Canadian system
work against the Russians we
must have players who are smart,
as well as skillfull. We need
players who have the patience of
Job, since they'll be tried with all
the psychological warfare they
can take, on and off the ice. We
need the type of hockey players
who get only one or two penalties
a year here in North America.
They'll get more in a short series
over there, but at least they won't
get the stupid penalties some
players have.
It would also help to have the
team together a little longer and
to give then some tough
competition such as other profes-
sional teams. It would help to
have the game later in the season'
when our players are traditionally
in better condition. These items,
however, are not as important as
choosing the right players and the
right coach. Do these things, and
there's no way the Russians will
win the series, and I've got ten
bucks to prove it.
Regular exercise
There are no guarantees for
good health - only guidelines.
Things might be different if we
could choose our own parents -
heredity is, after all, a major
factor in health and longevity.
But there are other factors over
which the individual does have
some control. One of these is the
amount and kind of exercise
taken.
The aim of exercise should be
to produce efficient levels of
cardiorespiratory fitness. To do
that, it must be fairly strenuous
as well as regular, In other words,
driving a powerboat may be fun,
and jogging once a month may
seem virtuous - but neither,
really, is exercise.
Dr, Roy J. Shephard, a
professor of applied physiology at
the University of Toronto, says
that not only should exercise
programs have a certain intensity
they should also be enjoyable.
Shephard lists walking, jogging,
swimming (if it's done vigorously
enough), cross-country skiing,
and cycling as effective types of
exercise.
