The Blyth Standard, 1974-11-06, Page 1the S anda BLYTH, ONTARIO It PRICE; 20 CENTS VOLUME 84 • NO. 44 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1974, Selling business Tom Cronin, owner of Cronin's Hardware in Blyth is selling his business after several years as a fixture on Blyth's main street. The neat store will be taken over by a couple from Aurora on November 15. [More details next week!. —staff photo Progress on sewers slow, could be worse Progress toward a sewerage system for Blyth may be slow, .Blyth council found out last Monday night, but it could be slower, After last month's session of council, council wrote to Huron•Bruce M.P.P. Murray Gaunt asking him to see if he could prod the Ministry of the Environment into action. Mr. Gaunt brought up the subject at a meeting of the Standing Resources Development Committee examining the estimates of the Ministry of Environment. He also brought up .the subject of the Mildmay sewerage project which had been under consideration since 1967. William Newman, Minister of the Environment explained, (according to Hansard records), that the ministry has 400, sewerage projects on the go in the province and it has meant problems in trying to co-ordinate action. "We were sort of pulled from pillar to post" he said of the Blyth project. "We would find a good site (for the trea.ment facilities) but the stream conditions were no good and then vice -versa. At the time I talked to you, we were just zeroing in on one site," he told Mr. Gaunt, "and we think it's satisfactory. Before we finalized anything, we asked our soils consultant to do a soil study on that, and •he has been doing that during the last couple of months. His report has just come in to us and it looks like it going to be suitable; so we will be setting up an Environmental Hearing Board hearing on that." Pressed by Mr, Gaunt as to when the Environment Board hearing could be expected, a time period of six to eight weeks was given. Village Clerk -Treasurer Larry Walsh read the excerpts from Hansard and also a letter written October 31 by D.A. McTabish, Regional Director for the Southwestern Region of the Ministry of the Environment. It was in answer to the letter from Mr. Walsh on September 13, one of a number of letters council had written over the project without any response, Mr. McTavish said that a hearing had been requested but that it might not be able to be held before January. In the meantime, however, work can continue by the consulting firm of B.M. Ross and Associates on the preparation of the design report based on the proposed site and the study of the method of treatment. Councillors were upset, not so much with the length of time the project was taking, but with the tendancy of the Ministry officials to promise something for next month, then not to do anything about it for many months. The council asked Mr, Walsh to stay on top of the situation and send another letter asking for the exact date of the hearing, in the next few weeks. in council's other long-running project, the senior citizens housing project, the Ontario Housing Corporation turned down council's proposal of a site on Dinsley Street on the Siertsema farm because too much fill would be needed. The OHC official is in favour of a site on Queen Street owned by Mason Bailey. Mr. Bailey has agreed to sell. The property itself is too -small to accomodate the necessary septic tank weeping bed but by using the right-of-way for McConnell Street and perhaps part of the Lions Park for the weeping bed, it is felt the property will be large enough. Councillor Bill Howson said he felt the council should go ahead with expropriation proceedings on the adjacent property owned by the Gordon Estate for future additions to the apartment building. The property, he said, has been tied up in the unsettled.estate for 20 or 30 years and has been unavailable for other development. Mr. Howson said he knew that the 12 -unit building approved would be too small as soon as it was completed and people had a chance to see how nice a building it was.. There was some concern expressed about snow removal to allow tenants of the building to be able to use sidewalks during the winter. Councillors agreed some provision would have to be made for this. Nominations open Thursday Nominations in area municipalities for the upcoming municipal, school board and public utilities commission elections on December 2 open Thursday, November 7. As at the last election, those running for Office will have four clays, until November 12 to file nomination papers along with the names of 10 supporters. The nomination papers are now ' available from the municipal clerks in your municipality. Ratepayers meetings were to be held Wednesday night in Blyth and East Wawanosh townships. The Hullett meeting will be November 12. Councillors take cuts at county's plumbing, planning departments Blyth village councillors took pot shots at no less than two county departments at the November meeting of council on Monday night. Councillors first took the plumbing inspection branch to task, then turned their wrath on the Planning Department. The discussion was brought about when Reeve Robbie Lawrie warned council that they could look for another increase in the county levy for next year. Councillor• John Manning asked how much the increase was likely to be and the Reeve began to review the added costs such as a 12 per cent pay hike to all county employees, Then he came to the subject of plumbing inspection which was brought in earlier this year. The budget for the first year was $20,000 to get the operation started but once sttirted it was supposed to pay for itself through a $125 inspection fee. Costs, however, have far outstripped income so far and the Reeve predicted the cost . of the project would be more like $40,000 next year rather than being self-supporting, The Reeve, who has been a vocal opponenet of plumbing inspection from the beginning, called it the'worst farce in the county. He won backing from Councillors Manning and Mac Brooks, both building contractors. Mr. Manning, ;told, of, one inspector he had watched who was afraid to get his feet dirty in the mud around a septic tank system so stood 40 feet away and took a look, then said the •inspection was finished and proceeded to give advice freely to the, carpenters on their work though he was only to inspect plumbing. "He could have done as good a job without leaving his office in Goderich," Mr. Manning said. • Mr. Brooks told of an inspector at a house he was building this summer who seemed more intent on entertaining a lady friend in the basement of the house than on inspecting the plumbing of the building. The debate had hardly died down on that subject when the Planning Department carne in for a blast. The anger of council was raised over a letter from a junior member of the planning department asking for suggestions for proposed sites for a mobile home park in the village and for a multitude of information about each proposed site. Clerk—Treasurer Larry Walsh reminded council .that in a meeting with council on June 10, Gary Davidson, Huron County Planning Director had told council he'd Liberals elect new president John Broadfoot of Brucefield was elected president of the Huron -Middlesex Liberal Association here Wednesday night. Charles Thomas of Brussels was elected executive vice-president. Other vice-presi- dents; Dave McClure, Crediton; Paul Steckley, Zurich;Wilson Hodgins, Lucan; John Rutherford, Lucknow; Don Kay, Clinton; Graham Craig, Walton; Bill Keel, Wingham, and Howard Aitken, Goderich. Prior to the voting, lona Campagnolo, (L-Skeena), parliamentary assistant to Indian and Northern Affairs Minister Judd Buchanan, exhorted the party faithful to work toward winning the Huron -Middlesex riding for the Liberals. "We went 17 years without a Liberal member in our riding (Skcena)," she said, "and then we won it• with a woman; Nothing is impossible." Mrs. Campagnolo defeated NDP member Frank Howard, who • represented the riding for 17 years, in the July 8 election, look after the whole matter: that he'd propose, possible sites and once council had decided which one was best would arrange subdivision, planning, supervise installa- tion of septic tanks, and generally look after everything but the renting of the lots. He made the promise because it would be two years before the department would be able to get around to preparing Blyth's official plan. Now, five months later, Mr. Walsh said, the project seems to be getting nowhere and the planning department is asking council to d0 all the work. Reeve Lawrie pointed out that when the planning department was set up it was supposed to last for only three years as Mr. Davidson planned the secondary plans for the county. Now, he said, Mr. Davidson has another full-fledged planner and two assistants and things still don't seem to get clone. "The mystery to me," said Councillor Manning, '9s how the staff keeps getting bigger and we keep getting farther behind as far as getting anything done," Councillor William Howson remembered how convincing Mr. Davidson had been at the June meeting. "i almost went out and bought a trailer," the councillor said, Council, angered by what they felt was the. deception . of the planning 'director, decided to write a letter to the planning. board, the political body overseeing the department's activities, Council also rejected the call from Mr. Davidson in another letter for a uniform 'building permit across the county. Members felt the present building permit in use in Blyth is good enough and felt that if a uniform permit was approved it was opening the door for a costly county building inspection department similar to the plumbing department. Councillor Manning felt the inspections are largely unnecessary. People in Huron, he said, hire a contractor because they have faith in him. If people are new to the area, they ask until they find someone who comes highly recommended to do the work. Contractors; he said, can't afford to do shoddy work in this part of the country. Remembrance Day services Monday Remembrance Day will be celebrated in Blyth on Monday,' November 11. In honour of those who gave their lives in two world wars, all businesses are asked to close from nine a.m. until noon on Monday. The Remembrance Day service will be held at the Basement of Blyth Memorial Hall at 10;45 a.ni. Everyone is welcome. A special Remembrance church service will be held on Sunday at the Blyth Christian Reformed Church at 10 a.m. Members of the Blyth Legion and Ladies Auxiliary will attend the service. Sprinkler causes false alarm A touchy sprinkler head caused a good deal of concern for a few minutes last week as the fire alarm sounded on Thursday in Blyth. The sprinkler, part of fire prevention system at the large Howson and Howson Ltd. milling complex for some reason began spraying, water just as if fire had been detected, but there was no fire. But the sprinkler automatically triggers the fire alarm and so the little goof made a big noise, The water from the sprinkler caused a bit of a mess but little damage, outside of a little embarassment. •; 1 PG. 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 6, 1974. There were some upsetting things in Belgrave on Hallowe'en. Someone decided to rearrange the seating at the Belgrave ball park. Hallowe'en in the arca was pretty quid in all. --staff photo Aluminum wiring hazards exaggerated says Hydro Reports that aluminum wiring used in thousands of Canadian homes could be a fire hazard are exaggerated, according to a special Ontario Hydro team set up to study the matter. J. A. Dicker, Hydro's manager: of electrical inspection, said that although the team will continue its investigations, "things aren't nearly as bad as alleged earlier". The combination of poor workmanship and the use of improper wiring devices on aluminum wire increase the. possibility of electrical failure, he added. The team's investigation revealed several failures involv- ing aluminum wire but damage was generally `confined to the outlet box and no actual fires resulted. "The number of reported failures arc very small in terms of the number of installations," Dicker said. The special team was set up after news reports several months ago suggested that aluminum wiring -- which has replaced its more costly counterpart, copper, in most new (home circuits •- was turning residences into "time bombs" waiting to go up in smoke.

The Starlight Unit provided a time of fellowship for the family -and friends in the assembly room following the funeral THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 6, 1974. PG. 3, for cost sharing recreational activities St, Mary's Arca Recreation Committee Members Helen Rankin and Homer McKay initiated an in-depth discussion by the dclgatcs of several questions related to the feasibility of forming arca recreation com- mittees and sharing costs of recreation services and facilities. Although the delegates were unaimous in their support for the principle of arca recreation, diversities in the extent and the structure of related legislation were deemed necessary due to diverse conditions in different geographical areas. It was felt that recreation costs to the tax- payers arc not excessively high at this time, Fair distribution of costs is a greater problem than the total amount of tax dollars being spent. It was interesting to note that the delegates from the townships and small village committees, who generally arc dependent on, the recreational services located in the larger communities, felt they should be paying their fair share of the cost of maintaining these services although at the present time, in most instances, they were not doing so, Probably the Iwo most difficult problems to be overcome in establishing effective area recrea- tion committees and cost-sharing agreements will be (a) overcom- ing the resistance of some of the township councils and taxpayers who will be reluctant to subsidize services they arc already receiv- ing and (b) devising ` a simple formula for the now complex task of determining fair amounts to be paid by "have not" villages and townships whose residents arc utilizing the services of not just one but several near -by larger municipalities. As a direct result of the past year's cluster group organization within the Lake Huron Zone, the zone executive proposed a re- organization of the executive structure into a Board of Directors similar to that which governs the parent provincial body, O.M.R.A. Each of the seven cluster groupings into which the zone was divided earlier in the year, will appoint a representative member to the Board. A new constitution was adopted at the conference which will make the new foram of administration' possible. With the cluster groups now having direct links with the executive, each group is assured of a share in all decision making at the zone level and an immediate line of communication with the zone board and :with O.M.R.A. The zone association now is, in effect, a federation of the seven cluster groups. Board representatives include: Group 1, Lindsay Inglis, Bad- jeros; Group 2, Keith Angel, LAST YEAR'S HOCKEY STICKS 150 left at $2.00 each MUST MAKE ROOM FOR NEW STICKS SELECTION IN BASEMENT CHOOSE YOUR OWN Sparling's Hardware 523-4246 Blyth l Kilsyth; Group . 3, .lohn Smith, Milverton; Group 4, (To be appointed); Group 5, Milt Fil- singcr, Mildmay; Group 6, Jim 13ain, Wingham; Group 7, Gord Baynham, Exeter.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 6, 1974. EDITORIALS We need an election On the cvc of the nomination period two years ago, a fight developed at a meeting of village council. 'Tie interest developed by that squabble brought lively public meeting and a healthy slate of candidates for public office. The resulting election brought in a council that brought more action in Blyth than the village has seen for many years. It saw things like a beginning to the needed sewerage system and a committsnent to senior citizens housing, though, through no fault of the council, both these major projects have not reached fullfillment. We've seen minor things like new street signs and major planning such as a planned new drain for the ca:.t end of the village, We've seen at least a start made toward getting an official plan for the village and toward setting up a mobile home park for use in future for those wanting to have mobile homes in the village. But most of all we've seen a change in attitude in Blyth. We've seen new feeling that Blyth isn't a dying town living out its final days. We've seen a feeling that this town has much to offer and will continue to offer a challenge for the future. As a result we've seen a significant increase in the number of new home starts and in the number of businesses in the village. We didn't have a fight among councillors this year, but we still need an election. We need to make sure we have the best possible people in office and that these people know they have the backing of the electorate. We need representatives from all walks of life in the village, We need some women to give it a shot at running. And let's not forget the Public Utilities Commision and the Shool Board, for which representatives will also be elected come December 2. We seriously need a representative on the Board of Education from the Blyth-Hullett area, so that our problems can be seen first hand, not only when complaints arc made from village councillors or irate parents. You've got until Tuesday, so get active. Consider running for officeyourself, and if you can't get someone else you know to run. Your future is in your hands. Tragic rural -urban split developing Sensationalist media men and cheap -shot politicians arc precipitating a tragic split in this country that is not only sad, but dangerous for the nation. The current egg marketing investigation and the uproar over the slaugter of 600 calves by protesting Quebec beef farmers has brought the press and some attention -seeking politicians to full voice. They are doing little good and a lot of harm. If the present trend of criticism of farmers, their marketing agencies and the whole food business continues, the misunderstanding between farm and urban residents can only grow worse. Politicians like James McGrath and Allan Lawrence of the Conservative party seem to be rising the inquiry into the egg marketing mixup as a platform for them to win brownie points, possibly to get themselves into a position to run for the Conservative party leadership. When the egg marketing agency admitted it had made mistakes, both men jumped to their feet and cried that wasn't enough. They want nothing short of the head of Eugene Whelan on a platter. Mr. Whelan, because of the damage he did to the Conservatives in the past election, would be a prestigious trophy for an aspiring leader. On the other side of the House there's Herb Gray, former Liberal consumer affairs minister who, perhaps bitter over his own demotion from the cabinet, is also after Mr. Whelan's scalp and fighting like hell to get cheap food for consumers, even if it bankrupts half the farmers in Canada. And we have a non -politician, Beryl Plumptre, who found the egg scandal the salvation of her food prices review board; who deplored the waste of all that food but must give thanks to her prayers every night for it since it's likely she'd be out of a job if the rotten egg mess hadn't come up when it did. The press is playing right into the hands of these ambitious politicians. Consider the fact that on Thursday of last week rural members of Parliament from both the Liberal and Conservative parties spent three hours grilling Mrs. Plumptre about her knowledge of farming, her motives and just about everything else. The C.B.C. on its radio news briefly mentioned this part of the affair giving no interview with the members who took part and giving none of the questions or answers. It then turned over two or three minutes of the newscast to Mr. Gray and Mrs. Plumptre to talk about how unjustified the questioning was. They were even led by the reporter who suggested they had been confronted by "the famous Ottawa farm lobby". The debate over the slaughtering of the calves brought Ed Broadbent and Max Saltsman of the New Democrats into full voice (let's not forget there's also a leadership change coming up in the N.D.P.). Mr. Saltsman announced he would introduce a bill that would make it an indictable offence "for anyone to destroy useable food as a form of protest." This, from a prominent member of a party that can sanction the walkout of workers in just about any essential service you can name and that ridicules any government that attempts to legislate to a strike that has crippled the economy of an entire nation. We're not suggesting that farmers are beyond criticism. We're not suggesting that farmers should be able to rip-off the consumer. We're not condoning destruction of food. But there has been absolutely no constructive criticism involves as far. All we've seen is brutal attempts to put the farmers, and Mr. Whelan in their place. Discredit Whelan, discredit farmer controlled marketing boards and consumers think they can get back to the good old days of cheap food. They may succeed in destroying Whelan and marketing boards, but the good old days are gone forever and alienating the entire rural community will only mean that fewer people arc willing to go into agriculture and that prices will go just that much higher. What is needed is understanding. What is needed is solutions. What is needed is action to buy Canadian food and ship it to the starving around the world as provincial Agriculture Minister William Stewart did on Friday in buying up white beans. `\..

It has become quite a Arthur Meen, "All retailers common practice in recent years registered as vendors under The to go through the motions of a Retail Sales Tax Act are now "study", publish a report, unpaid tax collectors for the ostensibly so the public can make its comments, favorable or otherwise, for the guidance of government. Later we usually discover that government knew what it intended to do all the time and the report is merely an exercise in token democracy. We can think of no other service which has contributed as much to the quality of life in smaller communities than the development of locally -governed hospitals in which patients can receive treatment close to their homes and families. If the decision-making process is re- moved from local hospital boards and placed in the hands of regional bodies, subject to the veto of the provincial ministry of health, a great deal of the basic values of local hospital care will be lost for all time. It is quite true that local hospital boards make mistakes, but so, too, do the wizards at Queen's Park. And when the boys in Toronto make a booboo it's usually a dandy. And they are making the biggest mistake of their political lives if they believe that rural Ontario is going to sit still for the changes in health Province of Ontario." And, as the merchants/ also state, "The payment of taxes has been recognized as a duty of the citizen since Biblical times. We draw to your attention that even in those times, the cursed tax collector received compensation for his duties," We can't think of a better way of putting it. Not that the retail merchants were entirely satisfied with the procedure prior to the change. It seems that a very few retailers were getting the lion's share of the compensation then paid under the exisiting Act. According tc the Retail Merchants' Associatio► of Canada (Ontario) Inc. whicl presented the petition, there arc approximately 150,000 vendor: registered under the Retail Sales Tax Act of Ontario. in 1972, sir, major retailers collected over 8C per cent of the compensation then paid. To avoid this from happening again, the merchants recommend that the commision of 21/2 per cent be reinstated but that a ceiling of $500 be placed on the amount of compensation to be paid to any one licenced vendor in any calendar year. Sounds fair enough. In fact, the merchants have such a good case that we can't imagine why a previous brief presented in July 1973 was turned down. The association says it is because the ministers involved, Allan Grossman,,and John White, were of the impression that compensation was not being paid by any jurisdiction in Canada. This time around the mer- chants have done their home- work. They contacted every province to find out just what was being done. They received replies from everybody except Manitoba. With the exception of Alberta which has no sales tax, and Ontario, every province replied that it did indeed pay a coniniission on the collection of sales tax. The association is still checking on Manitoba. The collection of the tax poses the biggest problem for the small independent retailers - those men and women who do not employ a bookkeeper and therefore must keep the necessary records themselves.

Tony Frombola, grinning as though he owned the world, and looking over his shoulder, with a crop of dark hair, a huge, sweeping, handle -bar moustache, and a devilish glint in his eye, yours truly. 1 think it was taken in Brussels, shortly after we "escaped" from prison camp, We didn't actually escape, We just got sick and tired of hanging around, and left. The blasted war had been over O.P.P. investigate local accident During the week October 28 to November 3, the following investigations were carried out by officers at Wingham Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police: On Monday, October 28, Bernice Kumm of Brussels, was involved in a single car accident on County Road 16, west of Sidcroad 15-16, Grcy Tonwship, when the vehicle she was driving went off the road, and rolled over. Miss Kumm was not injured, and damages to her vehicle were estimated at $300.00, Archibald Mason of Blyth was travelling north on Morris Street, Blyth when he struck a rock on the roadway, causing. approxi- mately $200 in damages to his car. Mr. Mason was not injured. On Wednesday, October 30, Bruce E, Habermehl of RR 1, Elora was northbound on Huron Road 28, north of Highway 87 when the vehicle he was driving stuck a pot hole, slide into the west ditch and struck a fence post owned by Robert E, Hastie of RR 1, Gorrie. Total damages were estimated at $325. On Thursday, October 31, Thomas J. Cunningham of RR 1, Auburn was southbound on Sideroad 33-34, just north of Huron County Road 25 when a cattlebeast owned by Gordon Plunkett of RR 1, Auburn ran out of the east ditch into the path of the Cunningham vehicle.

PG. 5. Remembrance Day - It's a time for about seven days, and there we were, stuck behind barbed vire. The only difference between that and the situation a month before was that the guards up in the sentry boxes were Russians, instead of Germans. At our camp, our incarcerating didn't end with the Yanks or the British rolling into the camp in jeeps, and throwing cigarettes and chocolate bars to the joyful prisoners, who wept and kissed their liberators. We were "liberated" by the Russians. They didn't have any cigarettes to throw around, they didn't know what a chocolate bar was, and they didn't particularly want to be kissed. They threw a guard around the camp and told us to stay put. Our senior officers told us the same. They didn't want us wandering around the countryside being shot by some drunken Rooshiah. Bored silly, Tony and I decided we'd had enough of that dump. So, about four o'clock one morning, we nipped the wires with a pair of borrowed wire - clippers, crawled several hundred feet through grass (very wet), and headed for home, It sounds incredibly daring and foolhardy, and it did make the heart thump a bit, but it wasn't either of those. It was just stupid. However, we made it to the Canadian lines in three days, hitching and hiking, and a very enjoyable time we had of it. In fact, we caught a plane to Brussels, another to England, and were about four days before the other chickens got out of the coop, Frombola was an irrepressible character. He was a Yank, from Oakland, California, who had joined the RCAF. Most of his compatriots switched to the U.S. air force when the latter got into the war, but 'Tony didn't bother, He didn't bother about much of anything except enjoying life. He had a big, homely mug, but was a terror with the ladies. He was strong and tough and cynical and witty. This may be hard to believe, but this incident, which I personally witnessed, showed what he was made of. It was August, 1944. One evening, after flying, we decided to walk down, to the beach in Normandy. There was nothing of interest to do back at the wing, and the padres had cleaned up the tiny whiskey supply in the mess. At the beach, a Liberty ship was unloading jeeps, There was a line of them, parked on the sand, guarded by two British soldiers. Tony walked up to one of them and said: "How much do want for a jeep, buddy?" 1 nearly fell over. "Five quid," responded the Linney, Tony peeled off live notes. He was always flush, as he was a gambler and a dealer. He drove the jeep away to a place of privacy, rounded up some paint, and painted RCAF roundels and the legend "Canada" on it. He was the only lowly Flying Officer to have his own jeep during the Normandy campaign, and he made good use of it, such as visiting field hospitals. Not to visit the sick and wounded, but to date nurses. We came home on the same ship. He picked up five hundred dollars in the twenty-four hour crap game, and lost most of it, built it back up to $2,000. Haven't seen hien since we landed, but to remember wherever he is today, I'll bet he's rich. Not all the memories are so pleasant, of course. 'Three of us shared a tent in Normandy. We were all shot down within 10 days, and I'm the only one alive, My parents received three telegrams from the Department of National Defense. Each of them began, "We regret to inform you ,,. One son was blown up by a land mine, and lost an eye. The second was missing in action. The third was shot down over the Channel. By some strange working of fate, we're all alive.

Calvinettes BY JENNY REININK The Calvinettes opened their meetings at the Christian Reform- ed Church here in Blyth in October, The club consists of forty girls, ranging in age from 10 to 15 years of age. The club was organized a number of years ago and is gradually increasing. We study the Bible and have very interest- ing discussions. Following the discussions we are served with refreshments and a period of crafts takes place. Crafts made range from collages to footstools. Right now the Calvinettes are taking part in a chocolate bar campaign. The chocolate bars are sold to raise money for club activities and to take part in a christian service project for the Christian Reformed World -Wide Relief Committee, The C,R.W,R,C. has missions in Mexico, Philipines and other needy countries.

Huronview Ladies Auxiliary meet The October Meeting of the 11uronvicw Ladies Auxiliary was held on Monday, October 21 in the Craft Room at 1-1uronvicw at 2:30 p.m. The Auxiliary was saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Keith Webster of Blyth, husband of our President, Mrs. Webster. The sympathy of the members was extended to Mrs. Webster and her family. Mrs. Alex. McGregor, vice- president was in charge of the meeting. The meeting opened with Mrs. McNichol of Blyth reading the poem "A Friend". The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.' It was with regret that the Annual Fall Bazaar had 1t, be cancelled for this year as no suitable date could be chosen which did not conflict with other activities within the County. Instead the Auxiliary are planning to have a Mammoth Bazaar and Tea in the late Spring; ,lune b, 1975 was the date chosen. The Auxiliary are still planning to have an "Apron Table" and hope that the Women's Institutes will donate Aprons between now and June 1975, 'l'he Christmas Fair (The Residents Christmas Shopping Spree) will be held on Dcce►;.bcr 2.

The grade eight class, accompani- ed by Mr, MacLennan visited the Mohawk Valley Institute and Museum, the Mohawk Chapel, and the Brant Historical Museum in Brantford. At the Mohawk Valley Institute they entered the library where there were many books, pictures and information about Joseph Brant and other Indians. In the Museum there were many in- teresting displays. They also watched a filen about Indian Culture. Canngn Zimmerman explained the history at the Mohawk Chapel. Outside the Chapel were a grave of Joseph Brant and a memorial to Pauline Johnson. The Brant Historical Museum had many displays of Indian arrowheads and other Indian belong;ngs. Upstairs the house had been restored to a historic family home, This trip was very educational and will benefit the class in its studies this year. More information concerning woodlots Rocky Raccoon has a few more facts about the woodlot and it's management, which he would like to share with you. The ideal woodlot would contain a variety of valuable species capable of a continual output of valuable products, both economic and aesthetic, This would require a crop of healthy trees at every stage of develop- ment from seedling to maturity. As already mentioned, to obtain full benefits from your woodlot, it is important to protect it from firc, grazing, insects, disease and rodents. Some other important facts you should remember are: • trees are a crop which comes to maturity, declines in value then dies • natural seeding and restocking will occur if the arca is protected from fire and livestock • woodlots without young growth will die out • a tree will require more space for crown and roots as it gets older, and so will crowd out other trees • thinning is to concentrate production of wood on more valuable trees • various tree species differ in their soil, moisture and light requirements • it takes 60 - 120 years to grow a tree to maturity, this should be realized before unwittingly de- stroying a tree • trees can be periodically cropped due to differences in age, classes, thinnings and inter- mediate cuts • the shading of some species by others must be considered, as requirements for sunlight and moisture may not be met for trees closer to the forest floor. • individual trees are usually classified on the basis of tree diameter measured to about 41/2 feet above ground, These ratings are - seedling (less than 1"), sapling (1" • 4"), pole (5" - 9"), small sawlog; (10" - 14"), medium sawlog (15" - 19") and large sawlog (20 " - larger) If you would like more information concerning woodlots and woodlot management, just ask at the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority office at Box 5, Wroxeter. CROSS COUNTRY About 40 pupils from Hullett Central attended the cross- country run at B. Milson's farm on October 16. Other schools involved included Seaforth, Blyth Clinton, Holmesville and Huron Centennial, The boys and girls participating were divided into four age groups for a total of eight divisions. Huron Centennial captured three of the girls' pennants, one of the boys' and placed first over all. Blyth placed second for the day and won a single pennant for each of the boys' and girls' divisions. Clinton gained the other two boys' pennants and was third overall. Hullett was in fifth place out of the six schools, but the following pupils put forth excellent individ- ual efforts: Anita Hallam, Paul Middegaal, Barb Carter, Brian McClinchey, Raymond Taylor, Robbie Plunket, Paul St. Louis, Judy Carter, Danny Jewitt, Marie Ann Hellinga, Greg Hallam and Steve Riley. SKATE EXCIIANGE A new, annual Skate Exchange was started by the Students Council at Hullctt Central School on October 16 and 17. Even though it was the first time, fifteen pairs of skates were sold. The parents put a price on the skates and then added 50 cents which went to the Students' Council for its various projects. GRADE THREE FIELD TRIP The grade three class of Hullett Central School, went on a field trip to Blyth, on October 18. Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. MacLennan accompanied the class.

All Welcome EVIL PREVAILS WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 6, 1974, PG, 7. From the Minister's Study A crisis in believing BY REV. CECIL WITTiCH A recent public opinion poll in Great Britain revealed that 29 per cent of the people of that country believe in God. A similar poll, ttlken ten years ago in Britain, indicated that 38 per cent of the population believed in God, If these surveys are any criterion of a country's belief in God, then belief in God is on the decline and less than a third of the people believe in Hini. What is taking place in Great Britain seems also to be occuring on our continent. In recent years, church attendance and confirmation of the personal public profession of faith in God have been on the decline. It seems therefore true to assume that belief in God is on the decrease in our so-called Western world. Such a trend can either discourage us or challenge us to a greater consideration of our faith and a larger concern for the spreading of our belief. When we think -of what believing in God requires, it is riot difficult to realize why there should be a reluctance to believe. Belief in God involves more than simply believing there is a god. 1 dare say that most people believe there is a super -being or a supreme intelligence or force of some kind in the universe. The Bible tells us that even the devils believe and tremble (.lances 2:19)., Our Christian understanding or believing in God requires a personal commitm it of our life to God, It means giving up our selfish pursuits and self-wi and yielding ourselfo God in obedience and trust. Nit many of us a willing to give up ourselves. We want to live life our own way, and Therefore, corning to believe in God, often involves a struggle and a surrender on our part and few of us are serious enough about it to make the effort. Belief in God is something we must want more than anything else in all the world. And when we come to believe in God, we see that our believing is a gift from God which we have not earned or deserved. The Good News of our faith is that God in Jesus Christ is seeking us and wanting to bring us into the blessedness of believing in Him who is our Creator and Redeemer and whom we can know as our perfect Father. 1111\11...\I/...\.// /.\.../.,S.,.../,..�./�I.�.,�..�..�..\/.�I.�/.�,� 1 CHUEN SERV10ES' CHURCH OF GOD McConnel Street, Blyth CHURCH SERVICE: 11 a.m. .t\„\1111\./\.,1.,I'\..\,1,.../,..../ .I\I. .,.t'�..�..�..�11\II\.I�,.\..�..�► THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA REV.

Agricultural Tidbits Farmer fined for being nice WiTH ADRIAN VOS Don't gel angry if a farmer is driving his equipment on the road and you have to slow down until the road is free for you to pass. If he pulls off onto the shoulder of the road to let you by he may have to pay a fine if an overzealous policem,un sees it. A friend of mine was tined recently $30 for doing so, He is orly allowed to pull onto the shoulder if he stops. Remember that he is working and you are most likely on your own time. ***** Several reports have conic out in the last eight years on the cause of food cost being what they are. One of the reasons cited time and again is the profileration of supermarts. Not much of this is reported in the press for a superntart in the neighbourhood is popular. it makes sense that if you build two stores almost side by side that they can compete only on the basis of their cost. Within these limits it appears that the customer will profit by cut-throat competition, No so, for the extra unnecess- ary building will have to be paid for and it is the customer that does the paying. The store can claim low profits, but this is his own fault for being too greedy, He draws customers away from the other store so their profits will be lower too. In order to maintain their profits prices will be higher in the long run, not lower as a superficial) appraisal might suggest. The Canadian West had some experience where an American chain moved into every place where there were customers, cutting prices only in the neighbourhoods where other stores were operating. When the other stores gave , up the price immediately went up to the level of stores in non -competing areas until this chain could set any price they wanted, Western govern- ments had to step in to stop this practice. So a certain level of competition is needed, but too much raises the cust and hence the price to you and me. ***** A & P in the USA lost a court battle when farmers sued them for price fixing. it appears that they set high retail prices and low prices to the packers and thus to the producers. The U.S. anti-trust act seems to have enough teeth to fight this kind of profit making: is this going on in Canada too? Get Going Plumptre. Time to declare war on the warble Replacement calves and yearlings are being placed in Ontario feedlots. With higher feed costs this fall, it is imperative that the feedlot operator do the best management job possible. Once the replacements are settled down and over the stress of moving, they should be treated for warbles. Name brand products such as Neguvon, Ruelene or Co-Ral are recommended. Neguvon and Ruelene are pour -on systemics. Co-Ral as a Wettable Powder and Ruelene liquid are also available as sprays. Systemic insecticides are absorbed through the skin and into the animal's system. At the recommended levels these products do not cause any harm, but kill the warble grubs while they are small and before much damage has occurred. The proper time for treatment is after activity of the Warble fly has ceased and the Warble grub has reached the back area. Treat before November 30, if possible. Treatment after November 30 must be done under the supervision of a veterinarian. Cost of treatment with a systemic is from about 25 cents per 400 pound calf up to 50 cents for an 800 pound yearling. Your returns should be $5.00 for each $1,00 spent on systemics.

Murray, RR 5, Seaforth i Farmers must rely on selves, not governments, Hill says Farmers will have to depend on themselves. They can't rely on governments for help, This is the reaction of Gordon Hill, president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, to be guaranteed bank loans offered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to cow -calf operators. Farmers badly need more than bank loans to overwintcr calves at a time of dramatically higher feed costs and depressed farm -gate prices for beef, Hill points out. "The provincial government's action is a pretty clear indication that this government isn't pre- pared to interfere in the market place to protect farmers, no matter how desperate the situa- tion is, even when the distress situation has been brought about by the decisions of foreign governments," Hill includes. (OFA last week asked the Ontario government to encourage cow culling by a grant of $100 for each cow slaughtered plus a grant of $25 for each calf weaned in 1974. OFA recommended that each cow marketed by replaced with a heifer calf to produce beef for market in 1976-77. The policy was designed to slow a build up of cattle without reducing potential for production when the market opens up again in two to three years. Instead, the Ministry has offered to guarantee bank loans of $75 per calf, up to 100 calves, at prime plus one per cent. The loans are for up to three years, repayable at any time,) Hill recalls the government of the U.S.S.R. started the upward signal in feed prices when it bought up huge quantities of U.S. grain two years ago. "The U.S. government price freeze caused U.S. farmers to hold cattle off the market, thus increasing the weight of the animals and the total amount of beef that went to market when the freeze was lifted. "Governments in oil exporting countries dramatically increased the price of petroleum, Beef importing countries were forced to cut beef imports to pay the ncccssary oil bills, adding to world supplies of beef and contributing to distress prices for Ontario producers." The provincial government has provided good farm marketing legislation, Hill points out. "Farmers must use that legislation effectively for economic survival in an era of high cost farming. "There is no way that 100,000 individual farmers, each produc- ing a small share of total product, can bargain successfully with processors or supermarket chains that want to buy in quatrtity from the fewest possible number of people. "Marketing boards are the farmers' answer t0 a concentra- tion of power among a few the COOP processors and a handful of supermarket chains. "When farmers organize to market total product through a farmer board they secure at least a minimum of countervailing power." Good barn ventilation needed Aim to ventilate your barn so well this winter that you would enjoy living in it, advises an Ontario Agricultural College engineering expert. "Good ventilation helps to ensure that your animals remain healthy and produce high quality food quickly," explains Dr. D.R. Pattie, "Dust, dampness and stale air appear to trigger, respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia," he adds. "It is not surprising that off -flavors in milk are sometimes caused by stable odors, and the quality of other products may also be affected. Odor levels decrease as the excess moisture in the air is removed." To run the ventilation equip- ment necessary for drawing air into your barn and expelling it after it has absorbed the building's excess moisture, make sure you have adequate and safe electrical wiring. in addition, always use fuses of the proper size.

Minister announces News items from Huronview food aid to Red Cross BY MURRAY GAUNT (HURON -BRUCE) This week, the Minister of Agriculture and Food announced a programme to provide, through the offices of the Red Cross, temporary aid to drought stricken areas of the world where famine has occurred, The Ontario Government has decided to purchase approximate- ly 65,000 bags of split white beans which were left over from the 1973 crop at a cost of $800.000. These beans are not suitable for canning, but are still very high in protein and nutritional value. The Red Cross will assume responsibility for shipping it 'to these drought stricken areas, Ceilings on spending by Ontario hospitals have been altered, although not removed for 1975, All hospitals in the Province have been asked to submit their 1975 operating budgets on the basis of known dollar increases, instead of working to a fixed predetermined percentage change. The Province has tried to limit the growth in hospital operating costs through ceilings for the past five years. In 1973 it imposed tough 5 per cent growth limit and tried to hold then in 1974 to an increase of 7.9 per cent. The ceiling broke down mainly Gaunt asks to wage settlements during the year, and will end up more like 20 per cent according to Health Minister Frank Miller. Hospital costs account for about half of the 1974 provincial health costs. 1 asked a question of the Attorney General in relation to the Supreme Court of Canada decision to award $30,000 to a snowmobiler who was trespassing on private property. The law was generally assumed that the trespasser shall not benefit from the trespass. The Attorney General replied that legislation is currently being studied 10 cope with this situation, and it will be intro- duced when ready. Ontario Health Minister Frank Miller has guaranteed that the Government would not raise Ontario Health insurance Pre- miums for at least 17 months. The Government's fiscal year runs from April I to March 31. Ontario's five medical schools rejected 14 applicants for every student admitted this year, according to James Auld, Mini- ster of Colleges and Universities, The five medical schools had a total of 8,733 applications for an available number of first year positions of 582. aid for pullet growers INTENDED FOR LAST WEEK BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. (HURON-1)RUCE( After a summer recess the Ontario Legislature re -opened on Tuesday, October 22, to witness the installation of Russell Rowe, Member for Northumberland, as the New Speaker in the House, He was escorted into the Chamber by the Leader of the Opposition Party, Bob Nixon and Premier Bill Davis. The former Speaker Allan Reuter retired due to poor health, i asked a question of the Minister of Agriculture and Food about \:hat he is prepared to do for the pullet growers in view of the fact that the conversion privilege no longer applies. The egg producers, pullet growers, the hatcheries, the processors and the egg breakers comprise the newly formed advisory committee, and the Minister also said; "I hope they will be able to find a solution themselves. In a Supplementary I asked that, since the Judge Ross Report recommended that egg production and pullet facilities be frozen, and the Government froze the egg production facilities as of April 20, 1972 would the Minister consider as an alternative approach freezing the pullet grower facilities as of now. Mr. Stewart said that he understood the Advisory Committee had that alternative under consideration, PROCLAMATION On instruction from the' Municipal Council, 1 I hereby proclaim Monday, Nov. 11, a holiday from 9:00a.m.-1:00p.m.as Remembrance Day and respectfully request the citizens and businessmen to observe the occasion. 1 Robbie Lawrie, Reeve, Village of.

This is what Ontario is doing to protect you away from home. Your Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) is designed to help you anywhere in the world. In case of injury or sudden illness outside Ontario, OHIP will pay the cost of standard hospital accommodation. For non -emergency services, it will pay up to 75% of the cost for the type of hospital service normally covered under your Ontario Plan. Medical fees will be reimbursed to you at 90% of approved services as set out in the Ontario Medical Association Schedule of Fees, But bear in mind that medical costs in some countries are often higher than in Ontario. So avoid being faced with a bill considerably higher than the amount OHIP can repay you, by doing four things: 1. Know what benefits OHIP provides before you leave home, 2. If you consider that your OHIP coverage may be insufficient, you can obtain supplementary coverage from private insurers for out of prov- ince charges. 3. Always carry your OHIP card with you. 4. In a financial emergency, ask the hospital to phone or write OHIP to confirm your coverage. Remember, you will usually have to make pay- ment on the spot for treatment outside Ontario. But OHIP will reimburse you for insured services if you submit itemized receipts within 6 months of the date of service. Describe why you were outside of Ontario— vacation, business, etc,—and provide complete personal information plus details of the medical or hospital service performed. Include name and address of physician, hospital, fee for each service and dates. And always state your OHIP number. A free booklet called "The Traveller's Guide to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan" explains everything you need to know.

Ragg, Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Huron, has been chosen by the Primate of All Canada, the Most Reverend Edward W, Scott, to attend the World Food Conference to be held in Rome from November 5 to 16. Last May the Bishop, in his Charge to the Synod of Huron, focused attention on the increas- ing abuse of prime farm land in Western Ontario. "The day could come," he said, "when we, an agricultural area, will be seeking Feed trees and shrubs now To keep healthy, trees and shrubs need particular care now. Feed them general purpose garden fertilizer with a 10-10-10 or 5.20.20 nitrogen, phosphate, potash ratio for shade and flowering trees and shrubs. "Even a turf fertlizer without additives can be used success- fully," says R.A. Fleming, Ontario Ministry Of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. For flowering shrubs, he recommends 1 to 11/2 pounds for each 100 square feet or root bed area,. Shade and flowering trees should ' receive 1/2 to 1/2 pound for each' I -inch diameter of .the main trunk. Spread the fertilizer evenly under the full width of the branches. A mulch of manure 3 to 4 inches thick, applied in the late' fall, is best for evergreens. food, if we continue to let the farming lands disappear on any conceivable excuse at all -- be it highway, sprawling subdjvisions, or corridors for hydro power lines, As Christians, we must have a concern for the right use of all our resources." His statements roused con- siderable response from both government and individuals. The Conference in .Rome is being called to discuss the desperate food crisis that is facing the whole world. Supplies, methods of agriculture, and the development of new methods in emerging countries, will be among the topics to be consider- ed. "It is a situation", Bishop Ragg said, "that must involve the co-operation of the whole world. As a leading agricultural country, Canada must give a strong lead in this whole matter," The Bishop will be one of five Canadians representing non - Government organizations at the Conference., ►g.

PG. 13, Keep rats out Rats can be an expensive hazard to the farmer. "Apart from serious feed losses, wiring can be damaged in barns where there arc Targe number of rats, resulting in electrical failures or fire," says J.E. Brubaker, agri- cultural engineer with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. To keep rats out of your farm buildings this -fall, make sure they can find neither food nor hiding places. Store grain and feed in rat -proof bins and clean up any spills around them. Remove boards, grain bags or stones that niay have accumulated outside or inside your barn. Pile manure away from farm buildings and keep the weeds and grass around them cut. Keep doors tightly closed whenever possible. "Because rats use covered of barn routes to food sources and seldom live or run in open areas, you will need to search closely for most rat holes," explains Mr, Brubaker, When you find the holes, block them up with metal or hardwood boards. Close off all openings to runways and nesting places within walls. If you are building a new barn, help to make it rat -proof by setting the foundations on foot- ings that spread outward from the building, or by placing a foot -wide band of half-inch wire mesh six inches below the surface of the soil spreading out from the entire foundation. if either of these methods is used, any rodent attempting to tunnel under the new building will hit an impene- trable obstacle and be discourag- ed from continuing, WITH OUR RED TAG SPECIALS 60" Navy Doubleknit REG. $4.99 SALE $3.99 Plus other red tag savings B.J.

Fatal accidents down Figures released by the Mini- stry of Transportation and Communications indicate that during the first six months of 1974 the number of motor vehicle collisions involving fatalities and the number of traffic deaths in Ontario were down 10 per cent as compared to the first half of 1973. During the same period colli- sions involving injuries increased 1.6 per cent, from 29,777 to 30,258 and the overall number of injuries rose less than one per cent to 44,348 while the number of motorcycle drivers injured increased by 23.2 per cent and the number of motor -cycle passen- gers injured increased by 9.5 per cent. Transporation and Communica- tions Minister John Rhodes said that over the past 10 years vehicle registrations increased by nearly 60 per cent ' while the number of licensed drivers increased by over 42 per cent. He added: "In 1973, 3.8 million Ontario motorists travelled an estimated 37.7 billion miles, an increase of 8.3 per cent over 1972, while the death -rate ' per 100 - million vehicle miles travelled dropped fractionally from 5.5 to 5.2." . Statistics relating to motor vehicle collisions are contained in the 1973 Highway Traffic Colli- sion Report released today. The 1973 statistics slight increases in almost every cater gory over 1972.

Behind the scenes The know -it -ails of sport provide comic relief. in trying times BY KEITH ROULSTON Amid the gloom and doom of the stock market mess, low farm prices, high retail prices, and starving children in Africa and Asia, the world of sport can usually provide a few chuckles. For sonic people at least... Sonie, of course, just make sports an extension of the other depressing things going on in the world: I'll bet my long woolies, for instance, that there are some sober -sides 1 oronto sports fans who were ready to throw themselves off buildings (well at (east off the front porch steps) after the weekend when their Toronto Argonauts finally con- firmed what everybody knew all along and blew their chance to make it to the playoffs in football; ivhen their Toronto Maple Leafs went the way of all leaves this time of year and f'ell' again, this time to the Buffalo Sabres; and when their invincible Toronto Toros got bombed 10-1 one night and lost again 4-3 the next night. But these super -serious sports fans are missing the fun of sports. There's niorc fun watching the sports watchers than there is in watching the sports themselves. ANN LANDERS Wife can't stand mother's affection for son DEAR ANN LANDERS: I am 23, my husband is 27. This is a first marriage for both of us and i want it to work, but we are having a mother-in-law problem that is driving plc up the wall. Please don't say, "Discuss it with your husband... I have --dozens of times --and he says I'm wrong. Last night he called me "nutty.,' My mother-in-law is a perfectly nice woman. Ann. She would do anything in the world for us, but she can't keep her hands off my husband. Either she is straightening his tie, picking lint off his suit, rearranging askew strands of hair or just patting his cheek. I've tried to ignore these revolting little signals that he still belongs to her but it slakes my blood boil when she touches him. Most 27 -year-old sten would knock their mothers flat if they behaved in this planner. May.1 hear from you right away, please? --SLOW BURN DEAR BURN: 1 read your letter twice to make sure I had it straight• -especially that part about knocking your mother-in-law Ilat. Yup --it's all there. So what's wrong with a mother touching her son, patting his check, straightening his tic --or whatever? This takes nothing from his wife. A woman who can't tolerate a mother-in-law's tender little gestures toward her son is pathetically insecure. stock of yourself. dearic. You need counseling. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Our live -year-old son loves to put on my clothing, high heels and makeup and pretend he is "Manta." Jimmie .is a beautiful boy, with a full head of curls and he prefers playing with dolls to the rough-and-tumble games of boys. Last Christmas I gave him a dump truck and a tea set. He has never played with the dump truck but loves the tea set. I used to think it was cute, the way Jimmie got himself up like a lady, but I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps his little game plight turn into something serious --and permanent. Can you advise me?—NOT LAUGHING ANYMORE DEAR NOT LAUGHING: Very young children often cross -dress, but by the time a boy is five or six he should be pretty well over that sort of thing. The most revealing clue was your subconscious encouragement. Why would a mother give a boy of ANY age a tea set? 1 suggest that you discuss this with a counselor, learn why you are treating your son as if he were a girl and get some guidance on how to turn the child around. DEAR ANN LANDERS: There seems to be plenty of advice around for women on how to keep their husbands sexually satisfied, but i've read very little advice for men. Here's some --from a women whose marriage of 18 years was considered ideal. And then I divorced him. Why? Because he was after me for sex all the time. We had three lovely children, his business was prospering, we were both active in civic affairs --but he was a sex maniac. The man was pestering me three times a wcek. 1 put up with it till I was 38. Then ltold hint to "cool off" • or get 'out. He left and i am --RELIEVED DEAR R: If you consider three times a week the demands of a sex maniac (and in your 20s and 30s yet!)

My wife, for instance can't give a darn about sports and I think she's missing something—not the hockey or the football or the baseball, but the actions of the fans to these sports, 1 get my kicks, particularly in watching the reaction of the biggest fans of all, the sports writers, They flip and flop around like a big trout just pulled out of the water. 'Today they'll say this, and tomorrow they're trying hard to forged they ever said it. 'Take a look, for instance, at the big boxing match last week. Few things in the world are blown out of proportion niorc than a heavy weight boxing title tight, imagine getting up at 3 a.111. to go to a boxing match, particularly just after it had poured rain for hours and the match was in an outdoor stadium. Well, about 100,000 residents of Zaire got up at that time so the rest of us in the world could pay up to $50 a head to watch the match on closed-circuit television at the niorc civilized hour of 10 p.m. It was pretty hard to lined anyone who would give a hope in hell of Mohanlnlod Ali winning the match (aside from Ali of course), and sonic would have you believe that he'd lie lucky to escape with his life. Joe Foreman, the champion, was just too good. In fact, to heart sonic talk, no one would ever beat him, It sounded much the same as 10 years ago when another "invinci- ble" fighter climbed into the ring with a guy named Cassius Clay. Mr. Clay found Mr. Invincible had feet of clay. That sank Mr. Clay is known as Ali and he found another Mr. Invincible less than invincible, Sports writers, you sec, are pretty stupid and they have short memories to boot (the writer must admit to being a former sports- writer though he's trying to forget it). They listen to their own exaggerated build up of a sports figure or a tears or a sporting event so long that they begin to believe themselves. Thus Ali and Liston and Ali and Foreman. "Thus the invincible Boston Bruins of a couple. of years back or the invincible Montreal Canadians of last season or the Bruins and Philidelphia Flyers of this year, Ot' the Toronto 'Toros who only a week ago were said to be too strong for their league (by those who didtti't know much about the calibre of the league) but had lost three straight games by the weekend. Conte to think of it though, it's about the sante way things work in real life. We build up issues all +1410 DRUGS out of proportion and then wonder why we get along pretty well in the long run. Remember how only a couple of years ago everybody was all hot about unemployment and willing to take more inflation rather than continue to fun at that unemployment rate. Remember last year's energy crisis that evaporated leaving us with higher prices and oil surplusscs. Remember so many other calast'ophles we faced that somehow look pretty small when we look back on them. Yet we don't learn from these things. We'll live through this inflation- ary period, yet you bet your sweet pickles that we'll get in a panic about inflation again about 10 years from today and we'll be sure we won't be able to survive.
