School board approves plans for field trips Several requests, for field trips were approved by Huron County Board of Education at its meeting in Clinton, Friday. Thc requests approved were as follows: 45 students (Junior Outers) from South Huron District High School to Hay Swamp area, October 25-26, at no cost to the board; 45 students (Year 1 History, Year 3' Art) from Central Huron Secondary School to Ottawa, November 6.9, at a cost to the board of_approximately $100; 25 students (Senior Cuters) from South Huron District High School to the Bruce Trail, October 25-27 at no cost to the board; 56 students in senior technical classes at South Huron High to the Henry Ford Museum at Dearborn, Michigan, November 8, at a cost to the school budget of $101 with each student paying $1,50 toward transportation and $1.00 admission, to make students knowledgeable and aware of the technolo- gical changes which are taking place; 45 students in the Drama Club at Goderich District Collegiate Institute to participate in a Drama Night at Bradford District High School; the 8 radford students will host the students in their homes and then will return to Goderich to l,resent a play a few weeks later. 'i'he board will ,retain land adjacent to the Grey 1 ownship Central Public School to be used for the implementation of an arboretum forest, where students will be able to learn tree and shrub planting and science classes could take advantage of leaf studies, succession studies, stream flow and stream life studies. The proposal for this plan was given by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority which also offers its services and advice for the program. D. J. Cochrane, Director of Education, reported that Mrs. Helene Cameron was appointed Head of Home. Economics at South Huron District High School, effective September 1. The Huron County Junior Farmers Club donated $50 to each of the three schools for the Trainable Retarded for the provision of Educational equipment—Golden . Circle, Wingham, Queen Elizabeth, Goderich, and Huron Hope at Huron Park, The Seaforth Chapter of the Eastern Star donated $200 to Queen Elizabeth School for Trainable Retarded --this is the school where children from Seaforth and district attend, The following teachers have been hired on probationary contract, duties commenc- ed September, 1974: Mrs, Janice Ashworth to Clinton Public; Mrs. Madelon Maloney to Clinton Public; Mrs, Alma Westlake to Hensall Public as librarian, half time; Mrs. Caroline Lentz, half time French at Hullett Central Public; Mrs. Eila Martin, French at J.A.D.

Editorial Church Classified Entertainment Bus contractors get 18% increase in rates BY WiLMA OKE An increase of' approximately 18 per cent was awarded by the Huron County Board of Education to the 18 bus contractors transporting students for the 1974-75 school term at a meeting of the board in Clinton, Friday. "It's a fair settlement," stated R. B. Dunlop, business administrator, "Thc Huron Board is right in the middle, not the highest, not the lowest or other arca boards." The board approved the assignment of the bus transporation contract held by George Radford, Blyth, to Ralph Buffinga, Blyth, because of other business pressures." An offer by McKillop Township Council was approved to supply snow plowing services at the turning arca at Winthrop, at the rate of $12 per hour or a minimum charge of $6. The board approved a request from Leslie Habkirk, Seaforth asking for approval of the merger of Habkirk Transit Service Limited with L & H Coachways of Simcoe and Lishman Coach Lines of Kitchener, to be known as United Trails Inc. Mr. Habkirk stated his school bus operation will remain the same but the new company would be more competitive in the tour and charter business. The merger will become effective November 1 or as soon as the Ontario Highway Transport Board and the Interstate Commerce Commission approve the amalgamation. An Ad Hoc Transporation committee will examine the legality and general feasibility of limiting the size of an operator's bus fleet operating in Huron County. J. P. Alexander, Wingh'am trustee, said, "I feel the board has a right to know who is buying their bus routes," A proposal by John Henderson, RR 5, Scaforth, was turned down twice to alter bus service for Seaforth students attending Central Huron Secondary School, Clinton. Mr. Henderson asked for a late bus for the 130 students who attend the Clinton school to take special options, and who are unable to participate in extra curricular activites after school due .to bus schedules. He asked the board to consider allowing one bus to depart at 4:15 p.m. daily instead of the usual departure of 3:15 p.m, He said the present early leave was because of an exchange of buses at Walton which transported them to their homes. Because of this bus exchange he reminded the board members it was saving the board over $7,000. He said the cost of the late express bus to Seaforth would cost less than $2,000, "a very nominal fee for the amount of money being saved. i feel these children have a full right to these activites," Several trustees expressed concern that if a late bus was provided for Seaforth area students others would demand the same service. Robert Homuth, principal of the Clinton school, who happened to be attending the meeting as an observer, said, "Clinton is an unique school. There is no other group of students in the county where they are denied the opportunity to have activity, such as the Seaforth group." Mr. Henderson said the late bus would not be waiting until after five o'clock for students playing ball games, just those in activities that go on until four o'clock. The board defeated his notion by a vote 7 to 6 when the proposal was made in the regular business and 6 to 5 (two trustees left early) when the question was re-examined at the conclusion of the meeting at Mr. Henderson's request. Thc Field Trip Committee presented a report to the board. Mrs, Barbara Golding of Exeter, chairman, outlined policies with recommendations for improvements in promoting field trips by encouraging schools to utilize them as a integral portion of the school curriculum and that Page 4 Page 7 Page 13 Page 14 budgeting for them remain as an allocation to individual schools. The committee asks that the board encourage the use of board -owned buses for most field trips and sports activities and that a procedure be developed for instruction and licensing of teachers who are interested in obtaining their bus driver's license. Among recommendations was a special request ' that the budget committee entertain requests for extra budgetary allotments for special programs or groups such as bands or geography clubs. Time to Fall back Standard time comes into effect again on Sunday at 2 a.m. Residents are reminded to set their clocks back one hour before going to be Saturday night so you won't be late for Church on Sunday morning. Hullett appoints livestock- valuator Hullett township council held a special meeting on Wednesday, October 16 to discuss the tenders for the closed work on the Beane numbers one and two drains. The special meeting was held because the bidder for the work, Mr. Inglis, informed council that some sizes of tile are. in short supply and there was concern that the work might not be able to be completed this fall, Council invited the property owners involved and Mr. Inglis to the meeting to discuss the problem and it was decided not to go ahead with the project at this time. Council accepted the resignation of Joe Shaddick as livestock valuator due to ill health and George Hoggart was named to replace him. Students to see what universities offer On October 29, 1974 at 8:00 p.m., the Huron County Board of Education is holding a University Information Program at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, This evening is designed to provide senior students and their parents with the opportunity to meet with representatives from Ontario universities to discuss costs, housing, prerequisites and other pertinent questions. It is believed that 15 of Ontario's 16 universities will be represented the evening of the 29th, along with representatives from Ryerson Polytechni- cal Institute, the Royal Military Colleges and a representative of the Ontario Student Assistance Program. The evening program consists of an introductory assembly in the auditorium at 8:00 p.m., followed by three 45 minute information sessions, that will allow those present to meet with three of the above mentioned representatives during the evening, A special invitation is extended to senior .Secondary students and parents, however any interested resident is welcome to the program, PG, 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 23, 1914, THIS 'N' THAT Signs point to good winter Well-known Toronto music teacher dies, was Blyth native of her voice students also became She was also a 40.year member church soloists. of the Women's Musical Club, She was a 50•year member of which meets regularly at the the Home Music Club, which, Eaton Auditorium. when she joined it, held musical soirees in private 'tonics, Later small auditoriums were used.

ASSOCIATION OFFICIALLY OPENED The expertise gained in artifical insemination programs for dairy and beet' cattle has proven invaluable in the forming of the Ontario Swine Al Association, whose facilities were officially opened October 11 in Woodstock, The farmer -owned group, with setup, similar to cattle Al organizations, is without share capital; profits, if any, are to be used for improving services provided. Unlike the programs offered to cattle - producers, swine Al is an "owner insemination" program: producers are trained in swine Al in order to handle their own- insemination, A $75 lifetime membership has been set for members, entitling them to an $8 service fee, involving a double insemination approach. Non-members can also take advantage of the services for a $13,50 service fee, "Al affords us the opportunity to introduce new bloodlines to our swine herds without the risk of introducing new diseases," says A.N. Watson, agricultural representative in the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food's Kent County office. "Not only arc the boards blood -tested for diseases transmitted by semen, but antibiotics arc included in all semen extenders." Inheritable factors such as carcass length, back fat and loin eye arca can be improved upon by using several breeds in a crossbreeding program, All boars in use at the unit will be ROP tested animals, offering producers the maximum use of genetically superior lines. The 21 boars presently in service include York, Landrace, Hampshire, and Duroc, "With the availability of such a large, disease-free gene pool and the advent of frozen storage, swine artificial insemination should prove to be very successful," Mrs. Watson concludes, SOIL TEST NOW AND SAVE ON FERTILIZBR IN '75 '[fight fertilizer supplies and price increases in chemical nutrients have forced many Ontario farmers to take a second look at their fertilizer programs and at the benefits that can be derived from soil testing. "If you think your fields need additional fertilizer, soil test now and be sure," says Professor T.H. Lane, of the Department of Land Resource Science, Ontario Agricultural College, The number of samples sent so far this year to the Ontario Soil Testing Laboratory operated by the Department of Land Resource Scicncc for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, has increased by over 50 per cent of 1973 totals, "The technology is here to provide farmers with the information and data they need' in order to fertilize where needed and in the right amounts," says Professor Lane. In addition to recommending soil testing, Professor Lane points out that there are other methods of adding nutrients. "Ten tons of cattle manure to an acre, forexample, will provide at least' $21 equivalent fertilizer value in the first crop year. On the same basis, 10 tons per acre of swine manure provides a $16 equivalent. In cases where soil fertility is already high, farmers can apply manure in sufficient quantities so that additional commercial fertilizer is not required," he says. Crop rotation, using a nitrogen -fixing crop such as legumes, also offers a good temporary and/or permanent solution to nitrogen shortages. A legume -grass sod with 50 per cent or more legumes will return 100 pounds per acre of nitrogen when plowed down. While not always practical, such a rotation can help reduce your total nitrogen costs. Economical fertilizer use starts with the soil test. Reports from the samples are mailed back in about two weeks from the laboratory; so farmers who take soil samples early can order their fertilizer requirements in plenty of time for the. 1975 crop year.

PG. 3 advises cattle specialist stress, but if they are diseased as well, their mortality rate is bound to be high." He recommends farmers buy preconditioned cattle - those that were weaned, vaccinated and castrated at home. They should have a fresh appearance at the stockyards to indicate they are not suffering from dehydration of undue stress, They should not have infectious bovine rhino- tracheitis (IBR), bovine virus diarrhea (BVD), active pinkeye, or any other disease. "Crossbreds from 400 to 500 pounds usually make the best buy because of their good gain ability and hybrid vigor," says Dr. Davis. "Try to get them before the end of October, because they need time to get acclimatized before the bad weather of November and December." If you arc in the feedlot business, make sure you have proper chutes, holding pens, and isolation facilities. "These allow you to handle the animals with a minimum of hardship for them and a maximum of ease for you," Dr. Davis explains, "They help ensure that the animals needing continuous care will get it." Immolate feeder cattle for several weeks in clean pens prepared before their arrival. Provide an extra supply of feed and water. To give the animal's digestive systems time to adjust, feed them hay for the first few days. Feeder cattle should be check - cd by your veterinarian as soon as they arrive. Because well -rested animals have better disease resistance than those that are stressed, the healthy ones should be handled as little as possible for about two weeks after the initial examination. Worming and vaccination should not be done during this time, although fecal samples for parasites should be taken. Vaccinate against IBR after the first couple of weeks and check parasite levels frequently. Silage quality affects profit 11 pays to humor the fussy eaters in your dairy herd. if they find the feed you store unpalat- able, the amount they eat will decrease and so will your profits. Dairy cows cat more corn silage when it contains 30 to 40 percent dry matter, says R.L. Lang, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture. and Food livestock specialist. If silage has more or less dry matter than this, they cat less because it is not as attractive to them. The ability of your cows to produce butterfat will also be reduced if you chop your corn silage too finely. fall sale MARQUIS 15. CU. FT.

BELGRAVE BRANCH LJCC UNITED CO-OPERATIVES OF ONTARIO I PG, 4. THE ULYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 23, 1974, EDITORIALS Time to throw out the Mustard Back in July, Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller expressed surprise when La mbtun County Council juruped 011 the Mustard report with its proposals to reorganize the health care system in Ontario. No one else, he said, had expressed any complaints about the plan. Well, if Mr. Miller has had his cars open at all, he certainly must have heard a few complaints since then. Shortly afterward, Huron county ,:ouneil held :.t special meeting and it was pretty much panned the entire report. Then carte Perth. Since then many municipal governments and nearly all hospital boards have done the same thing, Last week,thc Ontario Medical Association joined the long list of those who dislike some or all of the proposals. In fact critics, searching for something good to say about the bill so as not to sound too negative, have been hard pressed to Lind one good thing in the whole, lengthy, boring document. The proposals are autocratic, beurocratic and just plain too expensive. The Mustard report would take all freedom of choice away from the ordinary doctor and the ordinary patient and put it in the hands of more beaurocrats. It would impose huge new layers of beurocracy into the medical system. It would mean smaller centres were virtually left without adequate medical service. And it would add untold millions to a health care bill that is already threatening to bankrupt the province, AND there is no single shed of evidence that we would end up with better health care. We've made the blunder before in education and in many areas where regional government has been imposed. We can't let the government blunder again, Sure county board of education, regional governments and regional health councils stake it easy for Bill Davis and the boys to pull the string to control the province, but we, the taxpayers, are the ones to pay the shot for Davis' comfortable position. The Mustard Report should be thrown out quickly and should be shortly followed by the Davis government before they can think up any more idiotic schemes like this. Let's remember our contributing • It•l citizens The death earlier this month of Mildred Ferguson, a former Blyth resident who rose to a place of prominence in the music scene in Toronto shows again how often citizens from our town have gone on to prominence elsewhere but have been virtually forgotten in their home town, It is said that something has not been done to honour these people. Why shouldn't we make an effort to, honour those who have contributed to the community by serving in public office or by their hard work in community groups, or by their contributions to industry in. their home town? Perhaps it is time that Blyth establishes a sort of Hall of Fame for those who have achieved greatly, either in their home town or after they left home. Perhaps a small corner in the Memorial Hall could be set aside for pictures of those residents and former residents who have brought honour to themselves to their community. it's just a little thing, but of such little things are great communities made. Hockey Association takes a' step in the right direction The Ontario Hockey Association (under whose jurisdiction Blyth hockey teams play) has come up with sorne proposals which may perhaps begin to reverse the trend toward violence and injury in minor hockey. The O.M.H.A. held its 41st annual meeting recently and voted to award suspensions to coaches of teams that get too many penalities. The new rule will see coaches suspended for a game iQ their team. receives more than a certain number of penalty minutes in a game. The limit is 26 minutes for peewee teams and lower and 36 minutes in bantam and higher. Vern McCallum, secretary manager of the association said the ruling is "getting back to the coaches where some of us think the unruly conduct begins." Some coaches do promote roughness in hockey. Most do not. Many, however, silently condone violence by not cracking down on players «'ho are too rough on the ice. Under the new system a coach, for the good of the player, the team, the game and himself, will not have to control rough players, threatening to sit them on the bench if necessary, in order to keep the penalty total within the quota. Hopefully, the rule will be a giant step toward making hockey a game again, not a war. Time for supporters pp to give Back when the fight was on to convince Blyth Village Council to go ahead with plans to renovate Memorial Hall, otic of the telling arguments in favour of the project was the promise of donations from many individual groups. The project is now on and it's time for those who promised to come through with some money, 1t was a tough decision, for the council to make in favour of the project. Several councill.irs weren't too sure which way to go, but the fact that so many people were concerned enough about the future of the hall to promise financial aid helped convince them. Now, we who fought for the Hall must put our money where our mouth was. it's time for those of who were concerned enough to fight for the building to be concerned enough to give donations. Let's show them that we care, Milkweed in the sunlight Where have all the farmers gone? by Frances Kilbourne in the Legion Magazine "Why, Mr. Farmer, do you think you need help from me, a psychiatrist?" "Well, its like this Doc, I've got this feeling that everybody is out to get me." Yes, go on . ." "Take yesterday, for example. My fuel dealer brought me 500 gallons of fuel, enough for a few days during harvest, The price was up ten cents a gallon from the order before, And that's just one thing. The price of everything else I need from nails to a ton of fertilizer is going up faster than 1 can keep track of it," "Yes go on . .1" "I'm caught in the worst financial squeeze in the history of agriculture. I'm" losing money right and left. So the government slaps on more subsidies just to keep me in business, and then the market place really falls apart." "Yes, go on ..." "The consumer reads the headline FARMERS. GET MORE SUBSIDIES and he starts holler- ing that we , are on the government payroll. What he doesn't realize is that it's his food bill that is being subsidized," "Yes, go on ..." "So I try to get away from the political mess farming has be- come, and clean the manure out of my barnyard. Then my new neighbours from the city start hollering about the smell. And six months ago they paid an arm and a leg for the 'rural atmosphere' they couldn't getY in the city," "Yes, go on , , " "So 1 go into the house for supper, and my wife starts growling at me. "What's the matter with farmers in Canada?" she says. "The only butter and canned peaches in the store today came from Australia and New Zealand." "Yes, go on . " "So 1 turn on the TV news, and what's on? The grand opening of yet another giant subdivision and its giant shopping mall with parking for thousands of cars. 1 was bythat arca twoyears ago g and the dairy farms and orchards there were the finest you'd see anywhere.' "Yes, go on . , ." "Doc, even the government is out to get me. A few years ago one of the bright young boys from the government office came out and told me the answer to all my problems was expansion and modernization. So I went to the bank, took out a whopping big loan, and followed his advice." Yes, go on .. . "Well, the cement was hardly dry on my new buildings when the government planners start arriving. 'Move over, Jake.' they say, 'We're putting a four lane expressway through your house and barn, an international airport in your pasture, a dam and a generating station on your creek, transmission lines for the result- ing electricity through your hayfields, a sanitary landfill site in your lane, and we're making a provincial park out of what's left.' Can't you see Doc, they're all out to get me?" "Well, Mr. Farmer, you have a typical case of Agronomist's Syndrome, 1974, precipitated by the fact that everybody IS out to get you. The outbreak has reached epidemic proportions with farmers now being number one on Canada's endangered l;pecies list. But in five years the problem will have solved itself." How's that Doc?" You farmers will be extinct. That's $75 please. Writer wants curfew enforced TO THE EDITOR The following comments heard from village residents have prompted me to write this letter, It is concerning wilful damage to a number of village residents' properties which include stealing onions, tomatoes, apples, grapes and the destroying of garden vegetables in the gardens which were grown for winter use. Also to kicking the doors or throwing stones and vegetables or fruit at the homes of a number of residents, some who live alone, and soaping or waxing cars • or, resident windows, Hallowe'en is still October 31. I think it is high time the council or those in authority did some "clamping down" on the :school children, boys and girls alike, running around the village from dusk until 10:30 p.m. at night causing destruction and acting like jack asses with no bringing up, and 1 as well as a great many more would like to see curfew enforced again. These children are equally as thoughtless as the tire screech ing, motor racing maniacs who, tear around the village streets until four and five o'clock in the morning who have no concern for their cars and less for those who must rise early to go to work with only 3. to 4 hours sleep.

Now you can visit a good zoo without leaving Ontario BY KEITH ROUISTON For years, people from south- ern Ontario who have wanted to visit a zoo have had to make the journey to Detroit. Now, for the first time, Canadians can stay in Canada and sec one of the best zoos anywhere. The new Metropolitan 'Toronto Zoo opened in September with a blaze of publicity. Our family joined the treck to the zoo last week, unhindered by the crowds that swamped the place during the weeks of warmer weather earlier this year. It was a cold Playful reals virtually ignore the spectators only inches away at the ses►•ilon pond. They provide great entertainment for children. blustery day with the hint of snow in the air and not recommended as the best kind of day to visit, The zoo is easy to locate. Just travel eastward on Highway 401 and watch for the signs that show the way to the zoo at Mcadowvale Road. It will cost you $1.00 for parking plus $2.50 per adult or $5.00 per family to enter the zoo. The official opening is not until next summer and many parts of the zoo are still unfinished. The most spectacular part of the zoo will be the Canadian Animal Domain which will cover the largest part of the site along the valley of the Rouge River. Next summer visitors will be able to get a view of this arc from the $11 million monorail system which is now under construction. The zoo is divided into six geographical areas: the Austral- ian, South American, North American, Indo -Malayan, Eura- sian and African. When all are finished it will mean it almost impossible to take in the whole park in one visit. Our family visited the Indo -Malaysian African and North American pavillions (indoor displays) and .the African outdoor displays and found it a full afternoon. if you're going, make sure you wear good walking shoes and if: you have children, either take along a stroller or get one at the zoo (for a two dollar deposit which will be TUE BBI,YTll STANi)ARD, OCTOBER 23, 1974. PC. 5. The unfinished pilons of the $11 million monorail system snake through the 700 acre Metro Zoo in Toronto. returned when you return the stroller). Wheel chairs are also available on the same terms. In the cool October air the indoor display's were most inter- esting, especially the welcome warmth of the tropical areas such as Africa and Indo -Malaya. The African pavilion, the largest indoor display was also most interesting. Such animals as African deer and bison stolled in park -like settings. There was the rare pigmy hippo which had people Tined up in order to see it as it. frolicked beneath the water of a pond only corning to the surface for air once a minute or so. Several members of the ape family were on display. There were snakes and reptiles and fish. The Indo-Malyan pavilion is the second largest of the pavilions and again birds and monkeys are the most populaous items. The North American pavilions provides interest with the famous armadillos and alligators (earlier last month someone threw several of the armadillos in with the aligators thus depleting the stock of armadillos). During our visit the aligators looked too lazy to eat anything, simply, sleeping at all times. Among the interesting items at the zoo are nocturnal displays where the lighting is low so that animals that are normally active only at night, are kept awake for the viewing of visitors. Major disappointment of our visit was the fact we didn't get to sec many of the animals in the outdoor animal display in the African section. The elephants, hippos and giraffes seemed to have enough sense to stay out of the cold while the lions have not been released yet since there are fears about the safety of the lion enclosure. You can, however, see the lions in their heated pen through glass windows. The zebras and the white rhinos were in full view. Probably •the biggest excite- ment for our young children was the sealion pond where the natural hams put on quite a show. You can see them from top, side or through glass windows on a lower level as they swim underwater. There is a similar display for the polar bears though our feet gave out before we got that far. Like the polar bears, there are many things we didn't see in our afternoon visit and by next spring there will be many more open. One word though: if you're taking your children, make sure you don't throw things at the animals. We saw someone throw pennies at the aligators to try to make them move. Such thoughtless acts can kill some of the animals or seriously injure them, Animals at the zoo can be seen close up such as this white rhino, yet there are no bars. PC. 6. THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 23, 1974. Ontario Medical Association hits at Mustard Report. The health care system recom- mended by the Health Planning "Task Force would impose rigid controls on theI'rcedum of `both patients and practitioners tyilh 110 apparent impr0yemCnl in health carr, the Ontario Medical Associ- ation euni111C11(('d to(Iv. In a Kriel' to the Minister of Health the O['vL\ said the added layers of bureaucracy envisaged by the task force would make the health ministry more remote from the citizens and slake it niore difficult for local communities to identify and get action from decision -makers in government. "The simple, pertinent quest- ion which is unanswered by the report is: 'What +sin this organization do for the patient needing health care which is not being (lone now?' " "We have in Ontario at present a system which is delivering to most people I'ho seek it health care of a high quality," the OMA brief stated, "We continue to believe in the desirability of experiments in alternative new methods of providing health care but cannot support the concept of the immediate necessity to change the present system or new legislation to force as -yet - untested change on the providers and recipients of health care." Division of health care into primary and secondary sectors, as recommended by the task force, would be difficult and expensive and would rob the patient of his free choice of practitioner, the OMA claimed. "Sane pediatri- cians, internists, ophthallolo• gists and obstetricians frequently are the Ill's► contact al patient has with a health professional," the brief stated. "We readily admit that some oI' this care could be given by a non -specialist physi- cian 01• per1111ps by some other health professional, but these specialists are sought out by the public. Is this choice to be taken from the public?" With reference to the concen- tration of doctors in large urban areas and the comparative short- age in some smaller centres, the OMA said this is population problem, not a physician pri- hlenl. Citizens have chosen to live in the cities, and so have doctors. If the task force proposal to apply economic pressure on doctors to practise in small communities were accepted, would similar sanctions be applied to lawyers and dentists? the brief asked. "Further, will an unemployed person continue to draw unem- ployment insurance in "Toronto when he could get a job in Timmins?" The brief reiterated the OMA policy that physicians should be free to choose their method of payment and reported that under OHIP doctors • individually have • opted for salary, capitation, global budget and free -for -service methods. Admitting that fee-for- service can tempt a physician to over -service his patients, the OMA maintained that salary, capitation and global budget methods can tempt him to under -service patients.

On the subject of district health councils the OMA continues to support the concept outlined in a submission made jointly with the Ontario Hospital Association two years ago. The OMA could not support changes recommended by the task force in the structure and function of district health councils, and the addition of regional (Iii•cctors' offices. "Many o1• our members have commented 11) us about the increase bureaucracy inherent in the organization suggested by the task force," the OMA brief said. "We have conic to expect from bureaucrats an inevitable adher- ence to new layers oI' planners act ween health professionals and the final decision -makers has cast a shadow over our profession." The OMA challenged the task f'orce's contention that education, Film on Ontario's greenhouse flowers "Say it with flowers" is old advice that's still sound, suggests a new color film produced by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food.

Freedom in every possible means of expression was the rule, in order not to hamper personality growth. Permissiveness, its promoters say, allows the full potential of a person to develop, a good example of which our neighbours south of the border experienced in the presidential debacle. Now there are fears in Huron County that the judicial system's application of justice has been too permissive, and that many citizens do not stand behind the constabulary. This is a good time to consider in a few moments the meaning of law, Our purpose of law in society is the restraint of evil. if potential law -breakers have nothing to fear from the proper authorities, in particular the judicial system (and parents in the case of juveniles), of course they do not expect punishment, in this world, where perfection in the human race is not even visible on the horizon, that legal restraint of offenders is a must, Individual retribution and vigilante vengeance, as attractive as they may seem in moments of provocation incur only more law -breaking, that which the Apostle John calls 'lawlessness' (1 John 3.4). A second purpose of law in society is' that of the conviction of wrongdoing. Actually law has only one purpose, i.e„ how human beings may scrvc God, although in 'analysis, there arc three aspects to this one law. This second, then, serves to inflict every human being with the sense of the awful damage done by lawlessness in the lives of others and in the individual himself, and this aspect serves to lead a person to the awareness that there must be another way to live than under curse of law -breaking. This leads to the third aspect of law, or the third usage, and this is that of the rule of life for Christians. God gives the law so that his people may know how to respond to his love and mercy. There is then for Christians not merely the means to talk about faith in Christ, but also the means to express this faith and conviction in the only meaningful way to serve Christ, This law Jesus himself summarized by saying that Christians are called to love the Lord their God with all their heart, mind, and body, and all neighbours as themselves. And if this law is not followed, there is the conviction of sin, and the fear of punishment, Only in the Christian community, if there is that loving obedience to the commandments of the Lord, is peace. Part from the peace of God, there is fear, both for law -breakers and for victims. Electa; Mrs. Netric Clark, warder and Mr, Ted East, Sentinel.

Plant bulbs now for colour next spring • Next April you will need every dab of color availabe to get you through the rain and mud of spring. Plant crocus, daffodils, hyacinths and tulips in October - thc bulb month. "Bulbs are a bargain," says J.H. Hughes, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticultur- ist, "They flower for many years and during cool spring their blossoms last several weeks, Most reproduce small. bulbs at their base which can be moved to other areas of your garden in the fall," Your local garden center• or retail flower outlet now has a good supply of bulbs, Plant them three to four inches apart if you want individual clumps in a border. There should be six to eight inches between tulips in formal beds, and even more if they are interplanted with low - growing plants for ground cover. In woodlands, lawns or wild gardens, scatter bulbs by hand and plant them where they fall, so $141 -1 -au) matkip- DRUGS !)RUG SUNDRIES VETERINARY MEDICINES formal arrangement is avoided, With this type of planting, large batches of few varieties give the best display. All types of bulbs do best in properly drained, rich loam. "An arca that receives a minimum of five to six hours of direct sunlight daily is ideal," says Mr. Hughes. Dig the soil well in advance of planting, and at planting time work organic matter into it. Place the bulbs two -and -a -half to three times as deep as their height. Their root systems will start this fall and the nutrients in the bulbs will produce new shoots and flowers next spring. When the ground is partially frozen, cover exposed areas with a mulch to reduce the soil temperature fluctuations harmful to bulbs. A two -to four -inch cover of straw, hay, pine, bark,• or evergreen branches makes an excellent mulch. Leaf mulches should be avoided, as leaves compost easily and smother new growth.

PC. 12, THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 23, 1974 BY BILL SMILEY I'D PLANNED to write a column about Thanksgiving Day this year but the days went shooting by and suddenly it was past. However, I was undaunted. As the preachers and writers tell us every Christmas, there is no roason that peace on earth and goodwill toward men should be confined to a single day. Nor is there any reason that we should give thanks only on the second Monday in October. So here goes. Did you stop and give thanks on that day? Or did you just enjoy the long weekend, stuff yourself with turkey, and slump in front of the box to watch football? i hope you did getter than that: at least went for a drive and gorged yourself on the fall panorama of colour, reason enough in itself for a deep and fervent thanks. I started to think of all the things we Canadians have to be thankful for, and the list seemed to be endless. First of all, we should be grateful to be living in Canada, no matter how we squawk at income tax time, and gripe about the weather. Without getting misty - eyed or waving a flag about it, this is a grand country. Our society is far from perfect, and there are injustices, and we are often badly served by our leaders, and, yes, the Americans own too much of us. But these things are more than offset when we start piling things on the other side of the scale. What are some of the goodies? Well, first, there are the intangibles. There are very few places in this country where a person is afraid to walk alone, even at night. We have lots of air, some of it hot, some of it polluted, but most of it clear and clean. Nobody is literally starving in this country, though the. old -age pensioners would give you an argument there. Nobody lives in fear of the boots in the hall, the pounding on the door, the, secret police. Our only secret police are the mounties, and every time they try something secret, the papers find out, and spread it all over the front pages, chortling. To continue the list, we have equality of speech. Even the Prime Minister can swear in a public place, such as the House of Commons, and get away with it. We have equality of welfare benefits. The old lady with $600,000 salted away in bonds gets the same old -age pension as the old lady who has two herring salted away. What could be more equal than that? We have equality before the law. What's that you say? There's one law for the rich and one for the poor? Nonsense. It's the same law, The only difference is in the amount you steal, and the lawyers you can afford. if you steal big, and can afford a battery of lawyers, you get a light sentence. If you steal small, and try to defend yourself, you get the works. We have equality of opportun- ity. Ask any of our native people. Just ask a Metis or an Eskimo if he doesn't have the same opportunity as the white boy who has to fight his way through Upper Canada College, Trinity College, and Osgoode Hall law school. He'll tell you. Just be sure he doesn't have a beer bottle in his hand when you ask him. And we have pet.ce in our land. Oh, there's the odd little fluster. Like the Mackenzie rebellion in Smiley stops and gives thanks Ontario and the Papineau rebel- lion in Quebec and the Riel rebellion in the west and some kook trying to put a half-nelson on the Russian head of state in Ottawa and a rabble of native people attacking the mounties in the same place. But these are just trouble -makers. Right? There's no question about it. In this glorious nation of ours, everybody is equal. The only rub is that, as George Orwell put it, some are more equal than others. Well, those arc just a few of the things for which we should give thanks. Then there are all the more tangible things. We have more oil and gas than we need, but by George, we've made sure the price is right, and those energy -squandering Yanks can go cold and use candles. We have two of the longest railroads in the world. How about that? Even though both of them despise would-be travellers by rail, we have two of the longest railroads in the world. We have some of the finest wheat in the world coming out our cars, even though we don't seem to be able to get it into the boxcars and onto the ships to feed the hungry of the Third World. And how many nations in the world can brag that they have the second-best hockey team in the world? That's part of our national heritage and I think we should all give thanks for it. There's only one rub in this glowing picture. Our inflation rate, believe it or not, isn't soaring quite as rapidly as some of the other countries in the west, But don't worry about it. Among them, our politicians, business leaders and union bosses will soon have that sorted out, and we'll be up there with the best of them. Be honest now. Where would you rather live? In Europe, with all those people and pollution and culture and stuff? In the U.S., where the Great Exorcism is not taking place? In Australia, full of Australians? Just sit back and give thanks that you are a Canadian, living in the best of all possible worlds. Mannerly maids learn more about entertaining BY JAYNE WATSON The sixth meeting of Blyth Il, 4-H Club opened with' the 4-H Pledge. Jeanette Manning read the minutes of the last meeting.

Separate school headquarters in Seaforth BY WILMA OKE The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will continue to maintain it's administrative offices in the sane location on Main Street in Seaforth for another year. At a meeting of the Board Tuesday night in Seaforth author- ization was given for renewing the lease until January 31, 1976 with the owner of the building, Richard S. Box of Seaforth, at a' Rental of $390 per month. This decision was reached in commit- tee of the whole at a meeting which lasted until about an hour after midnight. in other business the Board endorsed a resolution from the Roman Catholic Separate School Board of the District of Sudbury calling for legislation to give the right to a separate school board as well as to a board of education or to a public school board to tither organize and maintain classes for mentally retarded children or to purchase from another board if desirable, and that grants applic- able for such classes be also available to separate school boards. 'The Board will again contribute a scholarship to the Stratford Kiwanis Music Festival, increas- ing the value to $100 from $75 for 1974-75 term. The Perth County Humane' Society was granted permission to canvass the students m the separate schools in Stratford for volunteers willing to participate in a Tag Day canvas to raise money for the Society. It was confirmed that Vincent Young of Godcrich and Francis Hickncll of Seaforth are the board representatives on the Fancily Life Committee. The committee is scheduled to meet an October 30 to decide whether to recommend continu- ance of the Family Life program in the schools this term. 'i'hcy will study the data from the pilot project carried out last spring. • Howard Shantz of Stratford who is in favour of the program being continued and expanded, expressed concern that the Family Life Committee had not already niet to consider the data and that a recommendation might not be ready for the next board meeting on November 12. "lt seems like a long, long time. I feel they are not pushing hard enough to get this under- way," Mr.Shantz stated. Hallowe'en will be celebrated in Stratford this year on Wednes- day, October 30, rather than on the Friday night nearer Hallowe'en, Gordon Ball reported three street lights are being installed at Holy Name of Mary School in St. Marys •- on the north side•of the school on Egan Avenue.

The turnip harvest is on in the Blyth area as tons of turnips are pulled and prepared for waxing. Here harvesting goes on on a farm in East Wawanosh township. Behind the scenes Maybe the Mennonites are the most progressive BY KEiTH ROULSTON On a drive through the Mennonite country near Elmira on the weekend I remember how 1 used to think the Mennonites were to be admired for their principles but a little stupid just the same. Now, I'm afraid, I think they're the smart ones and the rest of us stupid as well as unprincipled. Sounds like I'm pretty down on the human race, right? Well, 1 guess you could say that. 1 tend to get that way when 1 travel down to Toronto and see what havoc they've been wrecking in the - cities lately. I'm afraid I get pretty depressed when I see the utter stupidity of the way things are goingin this countrythese days Everything seems to be going backwards and they call it progress. Looking at all the "progress" in Toronto (and Guelph too for that matter) i became more convinced that the really progressive people were the Mennonites. We visited a middle class suburb with its $90,000 homes, each with at least two cars parked out front. Each had cable television since television aerials are verboten, and most with at least one colour television set. Yet these are the people who are complaining about high food prices. We drove to the outskirts of the city where hundreds of acres of rich farmland are being scraped away and thousands of semi- detached and town houses are being crowded into the land...yet they say there is still a housing shortage. We went out to the new Metro Zoo covering hundreds of acres of land and costing millions: a place where they will be spending 11 million dollars later this year for a mono -rail system just so people can ride in comfort around the zoo rather than having to walk and get some exercise they badly need. And all this is simply for the entertainment of people. We drove by a boat yard and saw millions of dollars worth of boats up on stilts for the winter: millions of dollars used to provide a few hours pleasure each year. And in the mood i was in I kept thinking of the millions of people starving around the world while 1 saw this disgusting excess. I'd look at the thousands of cars in a shopping centre parking lot and think how much food it would buy for people around the world if the cars were a little less plush, or if each family managed to get along with only one. 1 wandered through one of the swank Toronto shopping centres and saw thousands of people buying this or that trinket and • wondered if manypeople in Asia p P or South America could even imagine this sort of opulent scene, And 1 wondered just how much of this expensive junk was necessary to life, The answer was that very little was really needed most was just trappings of our ridiculously materialistic Canadian way of life. Not that it's only Toronto's fault. It's just that Toronto is the trend setter. If Toronto has it, the rest of Canada wants it, It sets the scale of materialism. If you see it in the stores of Toronto can London be far behind, or. Stratford or Goderich, or Blyth. 1 got a little depressed because our priorities seem to be so out of whack. Millions of people are starving, yet we're throwing out food because we can't find people to buy it, or just because we buy it but can't eat as much as we've cooked for ourselves. Millions of people are starving, but it's deemed more important for a man to work in a stock -broker's office than for him to work with stock on the farm. Millions of people are starving, yet we, in one of the few countries blessed with arable land, are destroying our land to put houses on it while there are millions of square miles of rock and bush. i ei e We're creating problems on the farms and small towns because people can't earn enough money to stay there and we're creating problems in the cities because there are too many people trying to live there, We're creating problems of race in our big cities because all immigrants seem to settle there while the vast portion of our land is virtually deserted. Somewhere between the hard- ships of the pioneers and the excess of today must be the happy medium that would allow us to live happy lives and yet share our resources with the disadvantaged of the world. That's why 1 have a growing admiration for - the Mennonites. They're holding on to a way of life where they're not suffering, but they're not taking from the world more than -they're giving. Perhaps they go to the extreme, but I can't help feeling things would really be better for everyone if we could go back to the turn of the'century, or even to the 20's of pre-war years (without the depression), when you didn't have to have thousands of dollars worth of gadgets to enjoy life. The thing that's depressing is that in our society we never admit we're wrong. We never admit that what we've called progress wasn't progress at all. We'll never say, "Whoa, we've got.too much. Let's give up the fancy car and the colour television." We complain about inflation yet we are the cause, because we insist in having more and more and more, Yes, probably the Mennonites are the smart ones, If a depression comes, a some predict they won't be badly hurt. They'll continued to live their way of life and help each other out while the rest of us flounder in troubled waters. It will be much the same for the so-called inefficient farmers, the ones who continue to mixed farming, who raise a little of this and a little of that and are pretty much self-sufficient in 037 and SAVE Crimp Knit - 60" wide - $2.99 yd.
