The Blyth Standard, 1974-11-13, Page 1Exciting election races shaping up in village, townships. It looks like an exciting election campaign shaping up in all local municipalities, The nomination period closed at 5 p.m. on Tuesday with heavy slates of candidates for most posts, Candidates have until 5 p.rn. Wednesday night to withdraw their names from contention but as of press time things stood as follows: VILLAGE OF BLYTII A record of three women are among the seven persons seeking four council posts in Blyth. 'those seeking office are: George Oster, Sibyl McDougall, Con Van Vliet, Phyllis Street, William F. Howson, Rev, Frederick H. Carson and Helen Gowing. :3;;;11'•;11;, BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 20 CENTS VOLUME 84 - NO. 45 We remember Reeve Robbie Lawrie lays a wreath for the Village of Blyth during the annual Remembrance Day ceremonies in Memorial Hall on Monday. The lower hall was nearly filled for the event. Questioner probes council Lively public meeting draws 30 citizens WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1974. Art show to help building fund in the first several efforts to raise money to support reconstruction of Memorial Hall, The Standard and its sister publication Village Squire magazine will be sponsoring a two-day public art show on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 in Memorial Hall. Interest in the show among artists from the Huron and Perth county areas seems to be high, Already such well-known artists as Guenter Heim and Don Vair of Wingham, Jim Marlatt, Martha Rathburn and Mona Mulhern of Godcrich, Ernie Niblock of Auburn and Mrs. Olive Coughlin of Atwood have accepted invitations as well as artists from Stratford. The show will be free of charge but donations will be welcomed. In addition, each artist is donating a small piece of his or her work which will be auctioned off in two auctions at 4 p.m. on each day, While many from outside the immediate area have entered, there is room for more local participation. Anyone interested should contact The Standard. Volunteers to help set up and supervise the show arc also required. There is also an opening for a bake sale table and perhaps a small tea room on each day. Any group that would be interested in raising money for its own projects should contact The Standard in regards to this. About 30 people attended a very lively public meeting in Blyth Wednesday night, Nov. 7, in Memorial Hall. Most of the life at the meeting could be attributed to one man, Alex Logue who badgered councillors and public utilities commissioners on nearly every topic mentioned. The meeting had barely begun when Mr. Logue let loose his first barb. Reeve Lawrie had just reported on his work at county council when Mr. Logue asked the Reeve why he and council felt they had to bring in an engineer to look at the Memorial Hall. Mr. Logue said the councillors should have been qualified to look at the situation themselves and make a decision without bringing in an engineer. If they weren't, he said, they shouldn't have stood for office. By calling in an engineer, he said, the councillors had cost the village taxpayers thousands of dollars. Councillor John Manning with the question stating that if it was a private building, then the councillors might have been able to make such a decision but this was a public building, used by hundreds of people at a time, and councillors couldn't take a chance that they might make a wrong decision and people could get hurt or killed. They had to call in and expert, he said. Councillor Manning was the target of the next question. He reported on the cemetery board and the purchase of 2.96 acres of new land for an addition to Blyth Union Cemetery at a cost of $1500, This land had to be filled and levelled off and George Radford Construction Ltd. did this for $2,975, which Mr. Manning estimated was only about half the actual cost of the job (the company donated 48 house work with a bulldozer and scraper since it said this helped with work being done in the nearby company gravel pit). Councillor Manning publicly thanked the company for its generosity. Mr. Logue felt the cost was too great for the project. He pointed out that in purchase and filling, the cost of the land was nearly $1500 an acre. Mr. Manning said the only alternative was to open a second cemetery elsewhere and he didn't think residents wanted two cemeteries. The councillor then gave details on the new drain proposed for the cast end of the village. He explained the new drain would relieve the Code drain of an overload of approximately 100 acres. Mr. Logue complained the new drain was being installed only for the benefit of the new subdivision in the cast end. Councillor Manning said that certainly the subdivision residents would benefit but so would many others living in the area. Mr. Logue complained that the "top of the hill" (Queen Street north) is not looked after, that the councillors didn't care about the complaints of residents in that area. Councillors denied this. Mr. Logue said he had drain problems but no one ever helped him. Councillor Manning said Mr. Logue had never reported the incident. Mie. Logue said he had; said he had even told Mr. Manning. The discussion got nowhere. Next, councillor Mac Brooks reported on the senior citizens apartment project and the council's work in obtaining a license bureau for the village. Mr. Logue had some comments on the senior citizens project ► too. Councillor Rudy Leibold commented on recreation. He pointed out that council, by not jumping into action on memorial Hall, had whittled the cost of the project from 48,000 on the first tender to $30,000 plus crane rental for the final figure. Councillor Leibold said he felt the recreation committee should become more than just a bill -paying body. He said he thought the committee should become more involved in providing recreation that would not cost too much extra, such as using the facilities of the school. He also pointed out the need 'for cost sharing with the other arca municipalities. Councillor William Howson reported on the streets department. He noted that the village was well below budget on street work ($22,000 of a $30,000 budget) because the council had set aside work on paving streets because of the upcoming work on the sanitary sewers. The last of the streets were being dug up, he said, and soon all streets should be reasonably sound. Council had been assured, he said, that government grants would be available for a street paving project once the sewer construction was completed. Turning to the dump, he reported that council had been warned to cease burning at the dump, "In my opinion he said, "there's no problem with our operation of the dump. It's a well-run dump." Councillor Howson explained the pro- blems with the delay in sewer construction and -stated that it appears, frustrating though it may be, that there will be no work done' on the project before the spring of 1976. Joe Cooper, ,chairman of the Public Utilities Commission made his report for the P.U.C. He said many projects had been up in the air when the present commission took office, He told of the commission's construction of a new water reservoir at a cost of about one third what a similar CONTINUED ON PAGE 16 Three men are seeking posts on the Public Utilities Commission. They are James Howson, .1oc Cooper and Stewart Johnston, Reeve Robbie Lawrie, entering a second terns as reeve, was named by acclamation. EAST WAWANOSH There's an exciting race for every office in East Wawanosh. Sinton Hallahan, R.R. 3, Blyth, is seeking the reevcship along with present reeve and former county warden, Roy Pattison. Five persons are seeking the four council positions. They include Robert Charter, Neil G. Vincent, Gerald McDowell, John A. Curie, and Adrian Kcet. MORRIS TOWNSHIP Recvc William Elston and Deputy Reeve James Mair went back into office by acclamation in Morris township. There's a four-way battle, however, for the three council seats. Thomas Miller, Ross Smith, Robert Grasby and Sam Pletch arc seeking the posts. HULLETT TOWNSHIP Possibly the best battle of all is on in Hullett where there is a fight for every post. Councillor John Jewitt is vying with present Reeve Hugh Flynn for the top job. Charlie'Scanlon, Len Archambault and Joe Flunking arc seeking the deputy reeve's chair now held by Mr. Scanlon. Four men are going after the three council positions. They are Milton Dale, Tom Duizer, Gregory Brandon and Ralph Buftinga. WEST WAWANOSH There's another good tight shaping up in West Wawanosh township. J. D. Durnin is challenging Robert Lyons for the reeve's position. A woman, Marybelle Cranston, is one of five people seeking our positions. The others are Leo Foran, Joseph Hickey, John Rutherford and Arnold Stothers. JOHN ELLIOTT One of four running for two trustee positions. Elliott seeks education seat Of the three local districts for the Huron County Board of Education, voters in only one will be having a choice of candidates on Dec. 2. John Elliott, a Blyth insurance agency operator is one of four candidates seeking two positions in the district encompassing the two of Clinton, village of Blyth and townships of Hullett and McKillop. Others seeking office are the incumbents, Ken Cook of Clinton and John Henderson of McKillop and Margaret Menzies of Clinton. In the East Wawanosh-Wingham District, J.P. Alexander was returned by acclamation, In the West Wawanosh-Ash- field district Mrs. Marion Zinn of Ashfield was returned by acclamation. In the Brussels -Grey and Morris district, Wilfred Shortreed and Charles Thomas were acclaimed to the positions open. PG. 2, THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVMEBER 13, 1974, Hullett Happenings YOUNG TREES AT SCHOOL Over the last month about 40 trees consisting of 10 varieties have been planted along the school fence lines. There have been several sources for the trees including Stanley Lyon of Blyth and Leonard Archambault of RR 1, Auburn. With the help of the caretaker, Mrs. Lee, and numerous boys from the senior wing as well as several of the teachers, holes were prepared, trees were trans- planted and water was supplied frequently. None of the trees were large, but it is hoped that most of them will survive and that many of them will become good sized trees, MARRIAGE OF SECRETARY Miss Lynda Anderson, secret- ary of Hullett Central School was married on Friday, October 25 to Mr. Leo Horbaniuk of Clinton. During Mrs. Horbanuik's ab- sence, Mrs. Joan Westerhout capably handled the busy secret• arial position. We now have Mrs. Horbanuik back in the secretary's chair. SCHOOL DANCE The first dance of the school year was a Hollowc'en Dance that was held Friday, October 25. A successful costume parade was held at the first of the evening. Nancy Preszcator and Betty Konarski, who were dress- ed together, were considered the funniest. Calvin Lovett was declared to have the most original costume while Debbie Hunking Students visit John McCrae's home and Julie Snell were the best dressed couple. Other prizes went to the winners of an elimination dance and a spot dance. HALLOWE'EN PARADE The children from kindergarten to grade six participated in the Hallowe'en Parade on October 31, Children swarmed to the gymnasium hoping that they would be chosen for either the funniest, most original, best home-made, best boughten or best couple, The people selected from each class received a 20 cent chocolate bar. The chocolate bars were presented by the students' council. Everyone had an enjoyable hour at the costume parade and the cost LIInCS Were. VCI'y good. DENTAL PROGRAMME For the fluoride brushing programme, two nurses, Mrs. Belling and Mrs. Dougherty came to the school on Friday, Novem- ber 1 and Monday, November 4. As always, the nurses showed the pupils the correct way of brushing their teeth and a film on "taking care of your teeth". Most pupils agreed that the taste of the toothpaste was better this year. ARCHAEOLOGY SPEAKER Three grade seven students, Joan Dale, Marie Vandcrlei and Ruthanne Penfound, and Mr. MacLennan attended a grade 12 archaeology class at Central Huron Secondary School on November 5. 'fhc guest speaker was Mr. David Newlands who has conducted two excavations in the past summer at Egmondville and in the Holmesville area. They found this session interesting and very educational. The next day, the three girls reported to the members of their history class some of the things they had learned. BUS TRIP TO GUELPH An exciting and informative trip was taken by the grade eight class of Hullett Central School to the Kort'igh1 Waterfowl Park and Sanctuary and to .John McCrae's home in Guelph on November 5. At the park they viewed numerous species of waterfowl in their natural habitat and learned about various migration, feeding and living habits of the birds, Next, they toured through ,John McCrae's home and SaW manor- ials to this man who wrote the famous poem, "In Flanders Fields". Pioneer living quarters were also seen by the students and to show their appreciation for the guide's explanations and information, they recited the poem for him. This interesting excursion proved to be very informative.

SALES & SERVICE BLYTH 523-9640 [ELECTROHOMEj Report from Queen's Park Grossman announces establishment BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P, )HURON -BRUCE) Mr. Allan Grossman, Provin- cial Secretary for Resources Development, announced that the Ontario Government will estab- lish an extensive network of recreational trails throughout the Province. The trails will be available to people who enjoy such outdoor sports and recreational activities as snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, horse -back riding, hiking, and trailbikc riding. Mr. Grossman said that in some cases, these trails will be restricted to a specific use •- to separate snowmobiling from cross-country skiing, for example, or hiking from bike riding. In other cases, trails will be indentified for multiple use where the enjoyment of these lands by different groups is compatible. "The Government will also establish a'I'rails Council to assist in the development of a complete trails system". Mr. Grossman told the Legislature. "This Council will consist of represent- atives from various recreational organizations,..outdoor sports groups..,conservationists...farm- ers..,and interested bodies." The Trails Council will report to the Minister of Natural Re- sources, Its initial task will be an inventory of existing trails and reconmiendations on the develop- ment of a broader trail network. "The Council will also be asked to make proposals on how it believes our trails policy should be embodied in appropriate legisla- tion," Mr. Grossman comment- ed. "The proposed Trails Council will not, unfortunately, be in a position to make recommenda- tions on the establishment of snowmobile trails for this win- ter," he went on, The Govern- ment will, therefore, start work immediately on this urgent aspect of the trails programme. The Ministry of Natural Re- sources, through its 48 district offices, is now drawing up a complete inventory of existing snowmobile trails throughout Ontario, The Ministry will neap trail routes and, during the winter, will identify and help maintain such routes by packing the snow with grooming mach- ines. Mr, Grossman said he hopes snowmobile clubs will be able to assist the Ministry in this work, "We actively seek their co-opera- tion and I invite interested groups to contact the nearest district office of the Ministry," he commented. During this session of the Legislature, the Government will introduce amendments to the Motorized Snow Vehicles Act ANN LANDERS Can 1 baby have 2 fathers? DEAR ANN LANDERS: Drawing from my experience in studying thousands of murder cases (I edit detective magazines) I must disagree with your statement that the writer was wrong in thinking the exhibitionist might have tried to rape her. Your remarks about exhibitionists being passive and harmless are correct --as far as they go --but they don't go far enough. Innumerable studies of sex offenders have shown that exhibitionism is nearly always a phase in their progression to more serious offenses. Typically they begin as Peeping 'Toms, Then they move on to something like underwear fetishmism (they steal lingerie from clotheslines), then graduate to exhibitionism. When this palls, it is but a short step to tentative, then over attempts as forcible, physical contact with the female victims. Panic and fear, provoked by resistance, all too often result in nmurder. Unfortunately, there is no sure way to know when the exhibitionist is about to progress from passive to agressive behavior. To women who find themselves confronted by an exhibitionist, I would offer the following advice: 1. Get away from the man as quickly as possible, Do NOT speak a word. Never get into a verbal exchange with him. 2. If you can't get away or if he follows you, SCREAM as loudly as . possible. Basically, the exhibitionist is a coward. If a woman screams, he will almost always run for his life. 1 Report the incident to the police without delay. They may be able to put him out of circulation for a while. • Thank you for letting me speak my piece.--A.G., N.Y. READER DEAR A.G.: Thank YOU for speaking it. Your letter contains some valuable information and I appreciate your taking the time to share it with us. Three psychiatrists with whom I consulted, however, said exhibitionsts rarely progress to more serious crimes, but it is not unheard of, so -- an ounce of prevention, etc. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Several of us were having a friendly discussion the other night. We arc a group of middle-aged people, all of better than average intelligence -- a couple of M.A. degrees and a Ph. D. in the crowd. One woman said she had read in a reliable medical journal about a new theory of fertilization whereby if a woman has sexual relations with two different men within an eight-hour period, they can both be the father of her child. In other words, the sperms mix and act as one. The child would then, of course, have the genes of both men. It seems logical, yet i have my doubts. I remember reading in your column that it is possible for twins to be fathered by separate males. if so, this other theory seems plausible. Right? --INQUISITIVE DEAR IN: Wrong. The twin theory was validated when a woman gave birth to two sons with different racial backgrounds. It is sheer nonsense, however, to believe that one child can have two fathers, as a result of mixing the sperm cells of two males, The woman, would of course, have difficult time figuring out which man was the daddy. If both men were fertile, the daddy would, of course, be the man who got their first. CONFIDENTIAL TO I LOVE POT BECAUSE IT FREES ME UP: Sorry, 1 don't buy it.

A snbwmobilcr will be required to obtain written permission from the owner or occupier of private property before he enters that property. Failure to obtain written permission will represent a provincial offence of trespass in the absence of any lawful excuse, Upon the request of the property owner or occupier the snowmobile operator will be required to stop, identify himself, and produce his licence, as well as written permission to cross that property. Where a complaint of trespass is made, the Crown will assume responsibility for investigation and prosecution, Mr. Grossman said that new legislation will also ensure that the property owner or tenant is not liable for injury to a snowmobiler who is a trespasser or who does have written permission to be on the property. "However, the property owner or occupier would be liable if wilfully or maliciously intended harem can be established," he noted. Mr. Grossman added that the trails programme represents a major Government initiative that will bring considerable benefits to the thousands of Ontarians who enjoy outdoor activities in all seasons. "Once the Trails Council has been appointed and has had an opportunity to make further recommendations, appropriate onmibus legislation will be brought before this House to refine and expand the complete trails programme," he 'said. Honourable John White, Pro- vincial Treasurer announced this week that the province is soon going to introduce a bill to establish the Ontario Land Corporation.

It will finance certain forms of government accommodation involving lease- backs. The O.L.C. will not develop or. hold in perpetuity the land it assembles.

It was truly gratifying Tuesday night, to see long lists of candidates for public office in local municipalities. Only the offices of reeve in Blyth and Morris township and of deputy reeve in Morris were filled by acclamation. While it is unfortunate that there were not elections for these posts, too, it is a tribute to the men who fill them that people think they are doing such a good job that they should go unopposed. Obviously, these acclamations can not be attributed to apathy since other posts are being hotly contested. Here in Blyth, we can be proud that there is a strong field of candidates including three women. It would seem likely that al least one woman will be elected to council this year, a healthy sign since more than half the population is women. No doubt, the future of all area municipalities will be • stronger because of the competition for these posts. May the best candidates win. Let'a raise a little hell Shirley Keller, editor of the Goderich Signal -Star editorialized last week in her paper about the lack of interest in the school board elections in her a?ea. Mrs. Keller said the apathy was a result of the fact that people just didn't know much about ' what's going on in education in Huron, Mrs, Keller blamed the situation on board members who fail to communicate with their constituents and on the weekly newspapers of the county which fail to dig into school board decisions and keep the board on its toes. The weekly newspapers, in truth, have tended to fall asleep on the job of being watch dog on the Board of Education in the past couple of years, But let's face it; it's pretty hard to get worked up and write scathing editorials on whether or not the grade 10 history class Ironi South Huron Secondary School should be allowed to take a field trip to Moose Factory to Study the eskimos. The fact is the school board just doesn't seem to do anything (at the open part of its meetings at least) except vote on ridiculously routine matters. The lack of effort on the part of trustees to communicate with the people is pathetic. In the three years this editor has been hammering this typewriter, there has been only onemecting he can recall where the local representatives of the school board have shown their faces in Blyth, raid that was when the village council requested their attendance to discuss the sewerage problem at the Blyth school. In five years editing a weekly newspaper in the county, we have never once had a trustee come into the office and talk about what the school board is or isn't doing. it would be a fair bet that the majority of people in Blyth and the northern part of Hullett couldn't name their two representatives. There's one issue that does need a little hell raised about it, and that's the way the voting district that encompasses Blyth is rigged. Blyth is lumped with Hullett (which makes sense) and with McKillop and Clinton (which makes little sense), This area, one of the largest in the county, is given two representatives while most smaller areas arc given only one. What it really means, however, is that Blyth and northern Hullett, hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of getting proper representation. Clinton, on the other hand, can have overwhelming representation. Take the present situation. Two members are running from Clinton, one from McKillop and one from Blyth. it's virtually a lead -pipe cinch that the two Clinton people will be elected, because all they have to do is pick up the two votes of each elector in their own town, and they have nearly enough to win. Mr. Henderson, from McKillop, and John Elliott from Blyth are in much the same boat, but at least Mr. Henderson, as a past board member, has a name familiar to people who follow school board happenings at all. But if Mr. Elliott is named on every ballot in Blyth, he's still a long shot. If he also was named on every ballot in Hullett, he's still in trouble. He has to get votes from nearly every voter in Blyth, Hullett and McKillop to stand a chance, and the odds are against that. Residents of Blyth for instance, can give him their votes and still be helping to keep him out of office. If, for instance, your first vote goes to Mr. Elliot, you still have one blank space left on the ballot. By filling it with any of the other three candidates, you are giving the extra votes it might take to beat him. The odds, then, are stacked against a candidate from Blyth or Hullett. He can be the best candidate by far and still not get a chance. Even when there aren't two candidates from Clinton, it's still a tough sttt,;.tion. in school board elections too often it isn't the best candidate that wins, but the one whose name seems most familiar, because in many cases voters don't know the candidates from a hole in the ground. The system is rotten. We need the kind of rabble -rousing representation that will do something to improve the system. Let's hope we get it. The world stops at the 49th parallel The people who run the Little League World series south of the border have come up with a trick that might be adopted by Canadians worried about the doubt of Canadian hockey supremacy. The Americans, where baseball is a proud national sport, have held the Little League World series for many years only to see those upstarts from Japan and Taiwan win the championship for the last six straight years. So the Americans, in their own ingenious way, have come up with a solution. From now on only teams from the United States will be allowed to take part in the Little League Championship of the World. The genious of this solution shouldn't surprise many "foreigners". They've known for a long time that as far as the Americans were concerned, the world began in the south at the Rio Grande and ended in the north at the 49th parallel; at Main in the east, and went west as far as California (opps, forgot Hawaii, but then so do a lot of Americans). • "Stop that! You'll he the death of the economy!" As others see it Proud to be a Canadian After a two-week trip recently completed by this editor and his spouse, we came back proud of many of the things that are Canadian, and ashamed of a few other practices. While travelling through Great Britian, we were many times asked if we were Americans, and when we were quick to point out we were not, we suddenly became aware of how much we must dress, act and resemble our neighbours south of the border. In fact, when you really think about it, most of our culture is American and there is really little that the British can identify as truly Canadian. Quite a shock at first to learn there isn't really any such thing as a Canadian, just a mirror image of the U.S, Materially speaking, we are much better off here in Canada than they are in the U.K. A single family dwelling on a lot with a front lawn and backyard is a luxury few enjoy in Britain. There just isn't enough room for such extravagant use of land. The average wage in the U.K. seems to be only half of ours, and even if many of their food items are somewhat cheaper than ours, they spend considerable more of their budget on food than we do, something we fail to realize sometimes. One habit of the British that should be adopted here in Canada is their knack of keeping old buildings in good working order and preserving some of their past. Here in Canada, if a building gets to be 75 years old or older, we have some insane idea, that it must be torn down and a new building erected. As a result, we spend far more money than we have to and we have little connection with out past. Another British idea that could use some. discussion here in Canada is their transportation system, especially their passen- ger trains. They are efficient, punctual, comfortable, and cheap. In Canada, with gasoline prices soaring and the costs of building roads and automobiles skyrocketing, we have no other dependable means of transporta- tion service to the car. Pity our lessons are so hard to learn. Foreign travel is an excellent way to broaden ones horizons, and even to put our own problems in perspective. 1t was well worth it. Clinton News Record Agriculture Minister, William Stewart has an odd way of encouraging beef farmers to 'hang in there.' According to a recent news report, the province will provide bank loans to producers of beef feeder calves so they can remain in operation and thus ensure that Canadian will not 'suffer from a scarcity of beef within the next three years, What the Minister of Agricul- ture and the province of Ontario apparently fail to recognize is that all loans have to be repaid..,.with interests....and plenty of it. While the farmer is paying this interest, he has no guarantee that the cost of feed for beef cattle is going to come down in price anymore than he has a guarantee tha the price of beef is going to rise. And feeding the cattle is only one expense with which the beef producer is faced. The price of replacing farm machinery has increased over the past year anywhere from 20 per cent to 40 per cent. So, where does this govern- ment suggestion leave the farmer who borrows upwards to $30,000 to stay in business for the convenience of the meat -buying public? From here, it would look as if such an offer, if accepted, could more than likely leave the farmer up the creek without a paddle. -Milverton Sun SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES Normally we are not too fussy about all the rules and regulations which are foisted on us • like the illegality of burning your empty cartons in your own back yard. One law, however, with which we do agree is the section which is supposed to forbid the burning of leaves. Boy, that smoke hanging in the air all over town can be irritating to anyone with tender eyes or scratchy lungs. Why not pile them in a corner of your lot and soak them down with water? In a year or two you will have the makes of the best potting soil you could wish for. •Wingham Advance Times Letter to the editor TO THE EDITOR, 1 think the children of Blyth should be commented on the way they conducted themselves on Hallowe'en this year. Not only weren't they destruc- tive, but they were quite mannerly when they came from house to house trick or treating. We are very lucky to have such tine young citizens.

The donations, mostly from $10 to $SO have come in in the past weeks following a request from council. The biggest donation has been $5000 from the Swinging Seniors. The club got the money through a federal government New Hori- zons Grant. ***** Hallowe'en was pretty quiet in Blyth, unlike some other arca towns, We here, however, that a strange new breed of pig resulted from the Hallowe'en activities. It seem some local men had a couple of pigs and discovered after Hallowe'en that they had a rare breed of blue pigs. Seems some friends (?) had been painting the town (or at least the pigs) during the celebration. We understand the celebrants were a littler older than your usual trick or treaters. ***** Because Ontario Municipal Board Approval has not been received, work on the new storm sewers for the cast end of town is not likely to get under way until next spring. Whenit docs, council will have to sign a contract with Canadian Pacific Railway for right of way for the drain through its property at a cost of $100 a year. ***** Building permits were issued to Tom Cronin for a 'new house and John Glousher for a driving shed. if you think advertising is a bunch of baloney, why are you readingthisad? You read to learn. Through reading you learn about things you have never experienced. Reading brings new ideas and thoughts into your life. It opens up a whole new world. That's what advertising does. It communicates information from one source to another. Advertising familiarizes you with a product, bringing this product to your attention, by putting it in front of your eyes. Advertising gives you a choice by giving you the opportunity to make up your own mind. That's why advertising is a freedom. The freedom to know quality and what is available. You read and listen to advertising to obtain information. Information on just about anything. Including the price of baloney. This advertisement is one of a series created by volunteer advertising agencies for the Canadian Advertising Advisory Board.

Evil Prevails When Good Men Do Nothing I I r Too soon we forget BY REV. CECIL WITTICH The First World War was supposed to have been the war to end all war. Within 30 years, we were fighting another World War. And ever since, we have been fighting a cold war during which there have been outbursts of fighting and prolonged conflicts. And now, we are hearing of the growing danger of a nuclear catastrophe as more and more nations acquire nuclear weapons. It scenes that in spite of slab's highest ideals and best efforts war is almost impossible to avoid. The reasons 'for war and the causes oI' war are often beyond the control of man. The New Testament tells us: "For WC are not fighting against human beings, but against the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities, and cosmic powers of this Clark age." (liphesians 6:12) ('1'.E.V.) Paul, in this verse, is speaking of the evil powers against which the Christian must contend and overcome in order to live a victorious and free life. These sank forces can influence and rule not only individuals but groups and governments. Who can explain the demonic antics of a Hiller and his cohorts? Most of us would say we do not want war and yet %ve become caught up in it. It almost seems that we arc fighting a losing battle. And yet, we know the battle has been won! The powers of evil and forces of Satan were defeated In the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ. The only hope of peace and triumph in our life and in the world is through surrending our life to Jesus Christ, admitting that WO arc powerless over sin and evil and that we need his transforming and victorious power in our life and world. Jesus Christ is called the Prince of Peace. When we obey him as our Lord and trust hint as our Saviour we can have peace and victory, Individually and corporately. fvlan, on his own. cannot establish peace in the world but Christ can. if we will let Him who is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.

School holds assembly BY ERIC NIESSEN This year students at East Wawanosh Public School had a great success with their Grade 8 Assembly. Though the students only had about one and one half weeks to practice, it was very good. Some kids were jumping with fright in sports as our Mad Man and Ken Marks, the drunkard who kept on poking him. There were a couple of horror jokes and some pretty good monsters. One of the top interviews was with our Green Faced Frankenstein, Marvin Cook. There was quite a cast of characters which included the Mummy, Edwin Haines who was clothed in white; Wirewolf, Doug Arbuckle the only monster who got Mr. David Medd, the Grade 7 teacher for a prize in the "Haunted House Talent Show." Then there was the Vampire, Wesley Keupfer with his hair all greased back; Joanne Edgar and Batilda Batty Bat; and Nei Hanna the spokesman for the Alley Cats. There were also eight youths named; Ralph Lubbers, Trudy Taylor, Dianne Scott, Chris Procter, Tom Choppel, Joanne Coultes, Craig Brydges and Marilyn Campbell. The students were lucky in getting some black lights which contained gas in them from the Brookside Public School. Gidget Lawther did some special effects with these black lights on some faces she made and used florescent paint. There was also a great Ghost, Jeff Armstrong, but most of our assembly was based on our stage crew, which were Paul Casemore, Jim Scott, Fred Meurs, Wilma and Patsy on our sound effects. The students would never have made it through successfully if their teachers Mr. Stevenson and Mr. Orr didn't give so much of their time and help.

THE BLYTH STANDARD* NOVMEBER 13, 1974 BY BILL SMILEY A bits and pieces column, First item shows a malicious delight in "catching someone out" as the phrase goes. It is one of the less pleasant aspects of the human character, but at the same time has given a great deal of pleasure, over the centuries, to the human race. There is nothing people enjoy more than somebody else's feet of clay. How we all secretly rejoice. if not openly. when a cabinet minister is caught with a blonde \yhu is not his wife, or a prominent judge is nailed on an impaired driving charge, or a teacher is discovered nurturing marijuana in his her window boxes. Disgusting, and definitely not Christian, but it's fun. I've hcen a victim myself. Sent out a questionnaire to elementary school teachers of English last year. 'There Was one spelling error in it, and I didn't do it, a secretary did. But about 50 per cent of the questionnaires return- ed had the mistake circled, and some gleeful little remark attach- ed.

Some bits and pieces cations Authority, a fairly sacred cow with the Ministry of Education. The Authority wants English department heads to tick off a list of the books most used by students in our high schools, with a view to buying the movie rights to the 20 most popular, so that they can be video-taped and made available on a wide basis, A laudable plan. It was when t started to scan the list that I thought it must be a put-on, 1 re -checked the accom- panying letter. No, it was real, it was official. looked over the list, a fairly comprehensive one of most of the literature used in our high schools, and started ticking off the obvious ones: Macbeth, Hamlet, Romeo and .Juliet, Death of a Salesman, Huck Finn, The Great Gatsby. Everything in order. Then I turned to Page 2 of the list and nearly fell off my chair. I cants to two conclusions. lilt her the chap who had dictated the list had failed to proof-read it, or the secretary who had done the typing had finished Page 1 and gone out and had a large liquid lunch before tackling Page 2. Don Quixote came out as Don Quiotc. This must be an animal story about a coyote called I)on. Emily Bronlc must be twirling in her grave on the moors, to sec her magnificent .Wuthcring Heights described as Withering Heights. Thomas Hardy will be having a celestial seizure when he realizes that his great Tess of the D'Urhervilles has a new title: 'fess of the D'Untbervilles. D'Unlber than what? A science fiction novel, The Chrysalids, has new life as The Chrysslids, The luck oI' Ginger Coffey has been transformed to Lack of Ginger Coffey. Probably snore sort of rationing. A line western novel, The Ox l3ow incident, has changed shape. It is now the Ox Box Incident, a rather square title, if I may say so, A Grade 11 standard, To Kill a Mockingbird, has become To Kill a Mocking Bird, Can't you see that bird, just sitting around mocking the old lady who owns it? But perhaps the greatest blow to Canadian literature, and certainly the one that nearly bust a gut in a number of English leachers, was the updating of that tine, old novel about French Canada, Maria Chapdelainc, 1t is now called Marve Chapdelainc. That is an obvious backlash by some nolle chauvinist pig to the entire Women's Lib movement. But I'd certainly like to read the new version. I can jutit sec Marve up there, in the Quebec back- woods, bringing in the kindling, worrying about wolves, and having babies under primitive conditions. Pour Marve. It was OK I'nr Marie. Site had guts. But Marve doesn't sound as though he could hack it, with a name like that. I imagine he'll die in childbirth, or be eaten alive by mosquitoes, or drop a pot of scalding soups aux puffs on his foot, or something like that. Now I know this entire column is completely unfair to the poor guy wiia made up the list. But got so much pleasure from it, purely malicious pleasure, that 1 couldn't refrain from passing it on. And the sheer joy of it is that it comes from an Educational Authority. In capitals. It would be no fun at all if' it came from an illiterate bookseller. It's interesting to learn that your neighbour is going to have a baby, after 15 years of sterility, or That your Uncle George had an affair in Singapore when he was in the merchant navy, and before he became a church elder.

At 19 months, healthy and invariably sunny -tempered, Julie has no idea she is a little girl with a problem. Julie was born with Downs Syndrome (commonly known as mongolism). Because of this condition, she has developed more slowly than average and will probably require special schooling as she gets older. However, she is considered well within the educable range. Not walking yet, Julie is a speedy crawler. She isn't talking but is quite vocal and expressive, leaving no doubt in anybody's mind about what she wants. Though behind in these two areas, she is animated and responsive and appears to have a good deal of drive and energy. Julie shows a lively interest in things going on around her. She enjoys her toys and handles them well. She is a good eater and sleeps right through the night with a couple of daytime naps. Julie needs a mother and father who will appreciate her ap- pealing personality and who can accept whatever limitations she may have. People considering adopting a child like Julie will find government programs and parents' groups all over Ontario to help in bringing up below-average boys and girls. To inquire about adopting Julie, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station 1<, Toronto M4P 2112. For general adoption information, consult your Children's Aid Society. SHE'S ALWAYS GOOD NATURED Hypocondria needs treatment One Pith century physician defined the hypochondriac as "a healthy man out of health." He was probably ahead of his time, for until quite recently, hypochondria was generally dis- missed as purely exaggeration of minor symptoms -or outright in- vention of non-existent ones. Today, however, physicians arc beginning to recognize that hypochondria can be a disease in itself, and one that needs to be treated, rather than ignored -or at (cast that its underlying cause needs to be discovered and corrected with medical help. For example, some people find relief from severe anxiety by adopting certain physical symp: toms. Worrying over their health gives them a chance to shift the focus away from whatever is really making them anxious or nervous. Underlying much hypochondria is fear. The man who has urinary frequency, and whose father died of cancer of the prostate, may imagine that he's headed for the same fate if he recalls that his father had the same symptoms. The man with chest pains, and a family history of coronary disease, is much more likely to think in terms of heart attack than heartburn • and understandably so, Often the only therapy is knowledge based on medical explanation and reassurance. For example, people who develop. cankers in the mouth - viral ulcers rather like cold sores - may think they may have cancer and could add to a minor problem by imagining it's a major one. Such people should seek medical help and not be afraid to discuss their fears with a physician. THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVMEBER 13, 1974. PG. 13.
