The Blyth Standard, 1974-11-20, Page 1f 4.:•.{ . is •4r. • $'. BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 20 CENTS VOLUME 84 - NO. 46 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1974. Part of the past Nearly three years exactly after it produced its last copy of The Blyth Standard, this old press was dismantled this week. The press has sat largely unused since Nov. 1971 when The Standard switched to offset printing. Douglas Whitmore, former Standard Board publisher and now owner of Blyth Printing, and Harvey McCallum work on the removal of the press to allow more room for expansion of the printing business. _ revises policy to help BY WILMA OKE The Huron County Board of Education at its meeting in Clinton Monday cleared up its policy on special leave for its employees elected to public office which had conflicted with salary agreement terms. The policy on political activities of employees was amended to be the same as salary agreement so that employees elected to public office who require time off from their employee duties with the Board to attend to duties as a member of council, shall be granted leave of absence in accordance with salary agreements. At present agreements with elementary and secondary school teachers provide, if applied for, special leave up to three days without loss of pay and without loss of accumulated sick leave benefits. "Prior to M.V.C.A. to buy 210 acres inMorris The Honourable Leo Bernier, Minister of Natural Resources, announces the approv- al of a provincial grant of $18,500.00 to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority for the proposed Morris Conservation Area. The Authority is proposing to acquire some 210 acres of land in Morris Township for the establishment of this Conservation Area. The property is located about 25 miles cast of Lake Huron and about two miles north-west of the Town of Brussels. The land is slightly rolling with 80 acres in heavy bush, 60 acres of bush and scrub, and 35 acres clear with old farm buildings. It is the source area for two intermittent streams which drain into the Little Maitland River. The Area will be managed for the purposes of source area protection, forestty, wildlife management and conser- vation educator, All member municipalities will bear the Authority's share of the cost. Auburn trustees named by acclamation BY ELEANOR BRADNOCK Auburn Village Trustees were elected to office by acclamation last week. Elmer Trommer is the new trustee replacing Robert Slater who resigned. Other trustees are Fred Wagner and Keith Arthur. Mr. Frank Raithby is the village clerk. A poorly attended meeting was held last Monday evening in the Town Hall. For those who attended it was a very interesting informative meeting when Chairman Fred Wagner outlined the work that the Trustees had done during the year. Clerk Frank Raithby read the minutes of the September meeting. In presenting the financial statement it was reported that the village paid $250 to Blyth for fire protection; Horticultural Society, $25; street lighting, $707.72; light bulbs, $57.09 and servicing the bulbs, $50. For the removal of garbage $1000 was paid; $372.35 was paid for chloride and $561.20 was paid for gravel. The building of sidewalks in the village cost 51608.09. The village is in the red $4981.45. Questionnaire sent to candidates For the convenience of our readers, next week's issue of The Standard will include the answers to 9 questionnaire sent out to all candidates in the municiple election in the townships of Hullett, East Wawanosh, West Wawanosh, Morris and the village of Blyth. The questionnaires, sent out early this week, hopefully will provide some of the information you need to help you make decisions on who to vote for in your area. All candidates have until noon on Monday, November 25 to return the completed question forms. employees run for office Monday the policy had included leave of absence with loss of full pay and benefits. E. Cayley Hill, Goderich, board chairman, stated: "If one of the teaching staff accepts nomination and election to public office they should not be penalized in public duties. Loss of full pay and benefits is a little harsh," D.J. Cochrane, Director of Education, spoke of provincial legislation being proposed which would permit teachers to take time for politics. Mr. Hill spoke of the benefit to the community, "Some teachers can make a contribution beyond their professional duty." Trustee John Broadfoot of Brucefield who was chairman of the Policy Committee spoke of the committee's concern for the students as they outlined the policy covering political activities of teachers. "Our duty was that the student receive education, and if the teacher is absent from the classroom for any length of time then the classroom is disturbed," he said, "and the students will suffer. I am not questioning the value of teachers in politics, merely the effect on the students." Trustee Jack Alexander of Wingham spoke of a teacher who took time away from the classroom to sit on Huron County Council and lost not only his salary but his superannuation benefits as well. "I don't consider he should be paid twice (salary plus money received for being member of council) but 1 don't feel he should lose his superannuation benefits." Mr. Cochrance replied that pension and other benefits are paid directly to the days for which a teacher receives his salary and under government regulations these benefits are lost when the salary is not paid. Mr. Cochrane spoke of the conflict between board policy and the salary agreement as the reason for clarifying the board's policy. Mr. Cochrane spoke of the conflict between board policy and the salary agreement as the reason for clarifying the board's policy, Mr. Hill said the board will have to be more definitive on special leave when contract talks are next discussed. At the request of Trustee Herbert Turkheim of Zurich the proposal of Trustee John Henderson of Seaforth on October 18 to alter bus service for Seaforth area students will be re -opened at the next board meeting on December 16. Mr. Henderson's proposal called for a late bus at 4:15 p.m. for the 130 students who take options at the Clinton secondary school and arc unable to participate in extra -curricular activities after school due to bus departure at 3:15 p.m. His proposal was twice defeated by the board at the October 18 meeting, in the first vote 7 to 6 and 6 to 5 the second vote. Mr. Turkheim stated his reason for asking for another discussion on the late bus was that the proposal was defeated by one vote and he has learned since that some trustees did not fully understand the problem. The Board adopted the ad hoc Field Trip committee report as presented at the October meeting with minor changes in the recommendations added by the Education Committee who were given the report for further consideration. Requests for three field trips were approved: 100 Grade 10 students from South Huron District High School to Ottawa from November 21 to 23 at no cost to the board; 66 Grade 8 students from Huron Centennial School to Ottawa from May 6 to 8 at a cost to the board of approximately $200; 42 students from Goderich District Collegiate institute studying French to go to Quebec City from February 11 to 15 at no t;ost to the board other than the cost of two supply teachers; but the request was denied to permit 15 Grade 8 students from Robertson Memorial Public School in Goderich to accompany the Collegiate students to Quebec because with 15 students and the French teacher on the trip the remaining students would be without French instruction, also it was felt there was too wide variance in ages -- 13 -year olds to 19 -year olds. Sent back to Administration to endeavour to equalize cost was the proposed trip of 30 students, members of the French Club, at F.E. Madill Secondary School at Wingham to Quebec City at a cost to the Board of about $500. A lengthy discussion resulted from the requests for the costly trips with only a few students in the school participating. Mr. Hill questioned whether there would be money left for the large group of students in the school for external activities when a small group of the students, such as the French class, would be getting a fairly big percentage of the subsidy allotted to the school. it was questioned whether the first club to the principal with a request for a trip received the most. Trustee ,1.P. Alexander of Wingham asked it' the principal of the school was the only one to decide who went where and was told by J.W. Coulter, superintendent, that at Wingham he knew the principal and heads of staff met to decide on field trips. Hearing on sewers set for Dec. 10 ..The Environmental Hearing Board hearing on the proposed Blyth sewage works will be held on Dec. 10. H. Browne, Technical Advisor and Administrator of the Environmental Hearing Board announced this week that the hearing will be held at 10 a.m. in Memorial Hall on Dec. 10 (see advertise- ment in this issue for further details). The hearing allows local residents to give written or oral submissions on the project. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 20, 1974.

SALES & SERVICE BLYTH 523.9640 [ELECTROHOME] Agricultural Tidbits Rotten banana WITH ADRIAN VOS Will we have a rotten banana scandal next? Someone said at a meeting 1 attended, that every week as niany trailer loads of bananas spoil in Montreal alone, as trailer loads Of eggs spoiled in a whole year. However, since no market- ing agency from farmers is involved, i doubt if we will ever see anything about it in the papers. Why docs every vegetable grower have to dump tons of carrots every year? Because the consumer refuses to buy them if they are not straight and slender. 1n the meantime our taxes are spent to investigate the- Toss of three trailer loads of eggs, so Beryl Plumptre can keep her $40,000 jnob and the opposition parties plus a • disgruntled ex - cabinet minister can have their field day. ***** Quebec is planning legislation to prevent first-class farmland from being taken out of produc- tion. Ontario is still contcmplat• ing such a move. B.C. has done so already and Saskatchewan is drafting legislation now.. It is heartening to see that non-farm people at last are beginning to realize that our grandchildren should have some- thing to cat also. Meantime officials of the Ontario govern- ment are trying to buy class one farmland, 100 acres of it, for a lagoon for the Blyth sewage system. Whereas Blyth has a population of Tess than one thousand, it scents that a tenth of an acre will be needed for each man, woman and child in the province. Does Toronto use this much sewage disposal space? 1 think not, for then most of Ontario would be one big lagoon. The question is, what is more important, some extra money for a treatment plant or permanently destroying food producing land. Queen's Park must be a confused bunch of bureaucrats. ***** Some American farmers, who killed their calves some weeks ago, have taken a different tack. They organized a packing plant truckers and other transporters, and donated their money-losing calves for food aid in hurricane stricken Honduras. Trucking and processing was done free of charge. Last week 1 wrote that a friend of mine had been fined for driving on the shoulder of the road to let traffic pass by. As a result I got a call from the chief of the Wingham 0.p.p. detachment advising me that this can't be true, for there's nothing in the Highway traffic act that would authorize a police officer to lay such a charge. At, the time of writing 1 have not been able to reach niy friend for an explana- tion. It appears then that a farmer driving a slow tractor is allowed to go on the shoulder to let faster traffic pass. 1 'apologize for any inconvenience 1 may have caused. ***** The National Association of Canadian Credit Unions some time ago published some telling definitions and here they are: •Add -On- You borrow $100 and you immediately owe $106 or more. •Discounted- You only get $94 but you owe the $100 you wanted in the first place. •Six Percent- A term for true annual interest rates of 18% or more. •Refinancing- Your golden oppor- tunity to owe more money and to pay a higher rate at the same time. •Low Service Charge -That means 11/2% each month on the balance owing. •Low Down Payment -The finance charges are high. *Investigation Fee- They phone your neighbour about you and you pay two dollars, •Penalty- What it costs you to pay scandal? Wolves a. back a loan before you said you would. The Credit Union claims to the more straight -forward. ***** Max Saltsman, NDP member of Parliament for Waterloo South, introduced or will introduce a 13i11 in the House of Commons making it a criminal offence to destroy food as a protest. This as a result of the killing of dairy calves in Quebec. It shouldn't, but it still amazes me every time how much hot air those politicians have in then. Even Ontario's Ag. Mini- ster, Stewart .Juniped on the bandwagon to condom those greedy Quebeckers. He of all people should know that these milk producers don't make much profit on milk production and have for the last five years depended heavily on the sale of bull calves to Europe. This market is closed and the dairy -man there can't afford to lose money on them, s:► he kills them. He has been doing it all his life quietly. To draw attention he now did it publicly. Wolves are causing livestock losses in West Wawanosh town- ship, it was reported at the Nov. meeting of township council. The discovery came after a claim was nude on two livestock losses and the evaluator felt wolves were involved, The Ministry of Natural Resources was called in raid agreed to pay the farmers for the damages in these cases.

Three of the seven persons running for council this time are women, giving the village the best chance ever of having at least one woman on council when the votes are counted. Some people, of course, will not vote for any of the women because they don't feel women should "stick their noses" into running town business. It's ridiculous, of course, but it will happen. Women today are often better educated than men. They have experience in many facets of town business through various boards and groups. Some have more time to give to town service than men. Some of them have fresh ideas and know the needs of the more than 50 per cent of the population who happen to be women. Some voters, of course, will go just the opposite route, voting for women just because they are women, and that's just as harmful as voting against women candidates just because they are women. Surely we are past the days when sex can be an important factor in an election, Surely we are mature enough to vote for a candidate on capability alone, not on the basis of sex or popularity. The Dec. 2 election will be a big test of the maturity of Blyth voters. Only the conscience of each voter, however, will know for sure. Pulling out all stops to win In the past 30 years, the defeat of the Conservative government in Ontario has often seemed just around the corner. But always, before that corner has been reached, the Conservatives manage to pull the tricks that have helped then retain power. They're at it again. With four straight by-election defeats in formerly strong ridings, starting in Huron riding in 1973, the Tories seem to be ripe for the picking. Their situation seems more severe than at any time in the past 30 years when they've held a strangle hold on the province. Naturally, then, the trick to get them re-elected has to be a little bigger this time. The evidence is that it will be a bigger trick. Redistribution is now underway in the 117 ridings that make up the province of Ontario. The Electoral Boundaries Commission, set up by the government to redistribute the ridings seems to be more concerned with consolidating Conservative support. Queen's Park columnist Harold Greer recently pointed out that the commission in the Windsor -Chatham area seems out to kill the Liberals who now hold the largest number of seats in the area. Of the eight seats, the Liberals hold four, the Conservatives, two and the Democrats, 2. The new riding set up would sec the Conservative hold their seats, the N.D.A. taking four and the Liberals only two. Much the same is evident in the London area. Closer to home, the Huron riding would be enlarged by taking in parts of Perth, including the town of Mitchell. Mitchell just happens to be the home town of Perth Liberal M.L.A. Hugh Edighoffer. This would virtually leave Edighoffer without a hone riding. He would have to fight on foreign territory if he wanted to continue in the Legislature. This same switcheroo is being pulled in Toronto and Ottawa and, most disturbing of all, in the Brant riding. Brant, you may recall is the home riding of Liberal Leader Robert Nixon which he, and his father before him, have held comfortably for nearly 50 years, But by stripping away part of the riding where his traditional support lies, and adding to the riding areas which have traditionally been strongly Conservative, it appears possible the Conservatives may be able to have the Liberal leader lose his seat in the House, The term for this crude political game is called Gerrymandering, and it's by no means a new game. Its been played many times by many political parties over the years. Yet in this time of renewed awareness in the need for morality in politics, it seems a rather blatant move on the part of the Tories. Perhaps it is a measure of the desperation fell by Mr. Davis and his crew. Let's hope his desperation is with good reason. Let's hope the people of Ontario don't let themselves get tricked by the present government anymore. We need a change in Ontario. If we don't get it soon, Democracy may for all intents and purposes be gone forever in Ontario. The challenge of involvement in local politics The present municipal election campaign presents a challenge to all citizens, young and old. The challenge is to get involved. Nowhere is democracy stronger than at the local level of government. Nowhere is politics freer of the big money syndrome; of the super organization sydrone; and the hoopla and.humbug of the big political machines. Municipal elections give people the chance to participate in an election because they feel strongly about something, not because they have to support a particular party, Unfortunately, most of the time the municipal elections end up being the candidate out on his own, fighting a long lonely election campaign. People will help out their party in a provincial or federal election, but they sit home and let the candidate do all the work in the most important election campaign of all: the municipal one. if someone is running for a position that you feel strongly deserves to be elected, why not try to lend a hand. Some candidates many not want the help, but others may be glad of help to canvass or to help get people out to vote on election day. This is particularly an excellent opportunity for young people to get involved in politics and learn how Democracy can be made to work: to learn how they can have a hand in shaping the future of their community. So get to know your candidates. Know how they feel on subjects, and then do everything fairly and honestly that you can to help get them elected. Report from Queen's Park Magnetic train plans derailed BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. HURON -BRUCE The big news this week at Queen's Park was the announce- ment that Ontario was cancelling plans for its magnetic trains, The West German Government and the large German corporation Krauss -Maffei AG of Munich were both committed to spend large sums of money on research of the train which would then be picked up by Ontario, according to Ontario's agreement with the company. The Minister of Transportation and Communications, John Rhodes, subsequently announced cancellation of the $25 million transit test project started on the Canadian National Exhibition grounds. The Government now has to decide whether to risk millions of dollars to build their pct transit vision. For the moment the Behind the scenes project is on the shelf, probably for four to six months, while Mr, Davis and his colleagues assess the risks and costs of going ahead with the project alone. At this point Ontario is left with drawings, test equipment in Munich, future rights to the system, and more than two miles of concrete footings at the C.N.E. The Krauss -Maffei concept sold to Ontario, and to the Premier personally in 1973, was to provide a fully automated, driverless transit system controll- ed by computers and elevated by magnetic suspension to provide a smoother ride than wheels, Ontario has been refunded $8.5 million by Krauss -Maffei toward money Ontario has spent at the C.N.E. test (rack. Liberal Leader Robert Nixon called on the Government to abandon the whole project "and save our taxpayers an astronom- ical amount of money", "Look at the waste of funds on the Spadina Expressway that's still just sitting there after three years," he continued. Ontario Housing Minister, Donald Irvine, came under strong and prolonged attack in the Legislature this week when he said the Ontario Housing Corpor- ation did not appraise individually properties it bought in the South Milton arca, The deal gave three related development companies a $1 million profit in a matter of months. Altogether the Government bought 2,300 acres for land banking and future development, and paid up to $7,000 per acre for the land. The Opposition charged that O.H.C. is buying land by "back room bargaining", and that the Corporation purchases land by whirr. They've got to be nuts BY KEiTH ROULSTON Well, i see we have seven nuts running for council in Blyth this year. OIi, don't get nie wrong, I think all seven persons seeking office are intelligent, mature persons: that's why i think they must be a bit off their rockers, Why, i ask myself, do these people, among the smartest our town has to offer, want to let themselves in for two years of hell? Were they beaten as children, or just what makes them like punishment so much they'd run for political office? Some might claim they are power hungry, that they just love to make decisions that affect hundreds of people. The people who say that don't know much about government, especially at the local level. Anyone who goes into politics thinking he's going to change the course of history is in for a big helping of disappoint- ment, Sure, they can try to do things that will make life better in a town like ours, but all too often they'll find that their good ideas can't be put into action because it will cost too much, or it will take co-operation with other munic- ipalities that they can't get, or provincial government agencies are involved that eith quash the project all together or to stall it interminably in red tape, Through all this they'll have one group of citizens after them because they're not doing enough; another group of citizens after them because they're doing too much and taxes are going up; and of course a few individuals who are screaming that not enough is being done and the taxes are too high all at the sante time. Those councillors who are businessmen (or women) will be accused of using their office to fatten their own wallets by catering to business needs, Those who aren't businessmen, of course, will be accused of not knowing enough about business to run the local government properly. Some people will spend so much time on their public duties that their own businessess or jobs will be hindered and they'll be criticized for that, Others, think- ing of their main occupation first, will be accused of not spending enough time on public business. They'll get flack from the press, and they'll get flack from their neighbours, and they get telephone calls at all hours of the day and night complaining about pot holes in the streets and plugged drains and poor side- walks or street lights. They've got to be nuts, 1 tell you, but thank goodness we have a few nuts around. Where would we be if we didn't? These people undoubtedly don't know exactly what they're getting into, but they probably are smart enough to know it isn't going to be any bed of roses. They know there will be times they wish they'd lost the election. But they are concerned enough about what's going on to run for office because they think they have something to offer: their ideas, their energy and their time, At least 853 others in Blyth either didn't feel they had anything to offer, or said: "Aw let George do it" (and we see at least one George is trying). Yup, they've got to be a little nuts, but we should be eternally grateful we have a few nuts like these around. And if they aren't nuts now, they will be after a two-year term.

CECIL WITTiCH, BLYTH UNITED CHURCH During the middle of the eighth century, B.C., the nation of Israel had been enjoying peace and prosperity. Under King Uzziah, trade with other nations had been promoted and agriculture had been developed within the country. The upper classes had become wealthier, often at the expense of the lower classes who were treated unjustly. The worship of idols and other gods became common. Instead of the affluence and freedom of the times bringing the people closer to God in gratitude and obedience, it seemed to lead them away. The nation lost its sense of reliance on God and respect for His laws. In this period of material abundance, social injustice and religious hypocracy, God needed someone to speak His message to the people; warning them that if they did not repent of their sins and turn to Him, they would lose all that they had gained and with much suffering. In the first verses of Isaiah, chapter 6, we learn of the young man Isaiah, responding to God's need. Isaiah is in the temple, apparently worshipping God. Suddenly he has a vision of God in which he becomes aware of the majesty, glory and holiness of God. At the same time, he realizes his own unworthiness and the sin of his people. God, in mercy and through one of his angels, comes to Isaiah and removes his guilt and forgives his sin. Isaiah is now reconciled to God and is ready to hear God saying: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Isaiah responded: "Here am II Send me." In doing so, Isaiah was volunteering to become God's messenger to the people. God has all sorts of work for us to do in the church and the community. He does not compel us to love or serve Him. He wants us to do it voluntarily. We as parents know how good we feel when our children voluntarily do their chores around the home and farm without us having to remind them or make them. How pleased God must be when we freely and on our own offer ourselves to do worthwhile things in the church and neighbourhood. Isaiah was ready to volunteer his services out of gratitude for•the way God had forgiven him and accepted him. That is also the secret that will move us to volunteer ourselves for God's work. Voice of Unborn plans for future An executive meeting of The Voice of the Unborn, the Wingham Pro -Life Group, was held on Wednesday, Nov. 6, 1974. The minutes of the last meeting and treasurer's report were presented and approved. Events since the last meeting include: the Pro Life Booth at Teeswater Fair sponsored by the Wingham, Goderich and Walker- ton Pro -Life groups; Purple Grove Women's Institute Presentation. Mrs. Sally Campeau, Doctor Clark, Father Nolan and Barbara Murray made up the group who went to purple Grove; Rev. Carson, Chairman of Education Committee, has made two pre- sentations to Young Peoples groups in Blyth and Brussels. Application has been made for a charter for the Wingham Pro -Life Organization. When obtained official receipts for Income Tax purposes can be given for donations. January 28, 1975 will be the first anniversary of this organiza- tion. An annual meeting will be held near that time. The Nominating Committee will scout for officers previous to the meeting. Rev. Carson is drafting a letter to go to community organizations to inform them of the willingness of the Wingham Pro -Life Group to speak to community organiza- tions. Such a presentation in- cludes "Abortion -How it is", a slide and tape talk by Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Wilke. ideas for increasing our membership included having a "Membership Sunday" at the area churches, and challenging each present member to bring a new member. A letter from the Hamilton Right -to -Life Organization was read. The purpose of this letter was to consult all Pro -Life groups regarding the possibility of directing, in union, sonic of our activities toward the provincial government. The meeting was adjourned. HOSPITAL VISITING Community service unites community On the evening of November 13 the Blyth Christian Reformed Church hosted a Community Worship Service. This is the first of three planned for the coming months. The theme for the service came strongly from Mr. Carson: the Holy Spirit does not tolerate denominational differences, he breaks them down. Christians, those people who profess the lordship of Jesus, belong together. With guitar and organ music, members of' at least five denominations praised God in song, and Mr. Carson of Trinity Anglican presented the sermon. Throughout the service a sense of oneness pervaded in the church building, and built excitement for the next one, December 22 in the Blyth United Church.

Rabies could peak this winter BY WILMA OKE In order to develop methods for controlling rabies in Ontario wildlife the ministry of natural resources is continuing a pilot program again this fall which was first initiated in 1972 to test a new type of bait material on wild foxes. At a news conferences at the Hullett Wildlife Park located two Miles east of Clinton a team from the Fish and Wildlife Research Branch at Maple demonstrated the method used to place the bait. The new baits consist of a small chunk of a sugar -gelatin -like mixture inside a small plastic bag. Dave Johnston of Maple said the baits also contain a small amount of a biological marking agent called tetracycline. This is an antibiotic commonly used in human and veterinary medicine for controlling bacterial infections and is not harmful to animals or humans. Mr. Johnston said when the tetracycline is eaten, it enters the circulation and is deposited in the bones and teeth of animals. When these tissues are examined under ultraviolet light, they fluoresce a golden yellow colour which means the animal has eaten a bait. Mr. Johnston said starting at the end of October about 25 experienced trappers will place 20,000 bait packets in areas inhabited by foxes in selected parts of the counties of Huron, Lambton, Bruce, Grey and Perth. Dennis Voight, a Maple biolo- gist used a young fox not quite a year old to show the visitors just how the bait will be picked up by the wild animals in the country- side. Pecmorc, the fox was attracted to the bait set out in a field by a substance called pheromones supplied to the plastic bag. This substance is attractive to several other wild carnivores besides the fox such as skunks, raccoons and coyotes, all animals subject to rabies. Each packet has a tiny radio transmitter attached to it run by mercury batteries which helps the research team locate them by means of an aerial if carried off by the animal. Mr. Johnston said that about 50 experienced trappers have agreed to give the heads of foxes they trap to the research team. By examining a number of foxes from the baited areas it will be possible to determine from examining the teeth the number of animals which have eaten the baits. Last year's test program showed 16 per cent of the animals recovered from the test areas had eaten.baits (10,000 packets were distributed last year.) Dr. Charles McInnes, the biologist who is supervisor of the Wildlife Section at Maple, said these experimental baits will eventually be replaced by oral rabies vaccine when safety tests are completed on the amount and strength to put in the baits to immunize the animals but not harm them. Dr. Maclnnes said southern Ontario and surrounding areas to the east along the St. Lawrence River and south into New England States have the highest incidence of rabies not only in North American but the world.

Murray, RR 5, Seaforth Animals Branch of Department of Agriculture, said that so far this year he has had only a few definite cases of rabies which is down considerably front other years. He said rabies goes in cycles and perhaps this winter we will be right up there in the high incidence peaks, Dr, Thompson said he had just been informed by the Ottawa laboratory that the head of a fox from the Wingham area sent in a few days ago was rabid. Mr. Johnston told the doctor that was, an arca where it was estimated there was the highest population of foxes. In answer to a question from the press Dr. Maclnnes said between 1,200 to 2,000 persons in Ontario each year arc receiving anti -rabies treatment because of contact with a rabid animal. Dr. Maclnnes said the World Health League in 1966 asked for the program to develop methods for controlling rabies in wildlife and the Ontario tests were started that year by the combined efforts of Ministries of Natural Re- sources, Health and of Agricul- ture and Food.

I know I was going to make a pointed, telling attack this week on one of the great evils of our society. But i can't remember what it was. Maybe that's because I have three exams to set, eleventy-four essays to mark, my bricks are falling out, along with my fillings, and my wife, who has just given me a thrilling account of how she couldn't get the car started, is going to the hospital tomorrow. Ah, well, c'est la vie, as the Chinese say, You can't have everything running like clockwork in a world in which the most sensible creatures seem to be cockroaches. 1 also have 42 letters to answer, six vital telephone calls to make, and a speech to write, and a grandbabby to bring up. There there are about 7,000 pounds of oak leaves to rake and bag. I think I'll send them to Bangla-Desh. Surely somebody there knows how to make oak leaf and acorn soup. Don't think I'm being hard and cynical. There's a lot of protein in those acorns. And I have 28 squirrels, Not counting children, in my attic to prove it. Maybe you think this is just the whining of a middleaged man, who can't cope with life. Well, you're right. My bricks are falling out. Or they are being sucked out, by the gentle vines of this old Georgian house, which are about as gentle as a giant squid. The roofer said, "Geez, Bill, your bricks are loose." It sounds sort of obscene, like, "You have rocks in your head." But it's not. They're falling out. (Or being knocked out by the clumsy roofers and painters. Sh-h•h.) And my fillings arc falling out as fast as I can, or my dentist can, put them in. He's a nice guy, and the most painless dentist I have ever had, for which I will cling to U.C.W. Unit meets The regular meeting of the Sunshine Unit was held Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. with Mrs. Howard Campbell and Betty Ncthery in charge of devotions. Mrs. Nethery opened the meeting with Micah 6.8 verses, hymn 388, Scripture reading psalm 19 was given by Mrs. Howard Campbell and prayer by Betty Nethery, Matthew 6. Collection was received and dedicated, "Where does time go" was a reading by Betty Nethery. Hymn 356 was sung and prayer by Betty Nethery, Harold Voddcn gave a very interesting talk, on what it is like to suddenly loose your sight, and the work of the C.N,I,B, Mrs, Smith took the chair for the business, "Unexpressed thanks keep us from seeing the beauty of God", was read by Mrs. Smith. The mi,!utes were ready and adopted. Ro'l Call showed 18 present, one visi`or, Word for Roll call•in December is "Jay." Mrs, Sniith closed with prayer.

PG. 13. it's just one big gay mad whirl him until teeth do us depart, but you can't build pine trees out of stumps, And then there's my grand- babby, You'd think I would not worry about him when he's a hundred miles away. But 1 do. How do I know those voun2 sillies in the day care centre are teaching him the right things. Do they know how to ride him on a jigging foot to the tune of "Did You Ever Go Into An Irishman's Shanty, Where Money Is Scarce and Whiskey Is Plenty?"? Do they know how to let him chew their thumb while at the same time whistling in his belly and waving his bare foot in the air to the tune of "Knees Up, Mother Brown"? Well, maybe the young sillies aren't doing too badly, as long as there are three of them to one of him. At least they're not trying to unteaeh him the good things he's learned from his gramps, Had a call from his mother last Sunday, She made it from a phone booth, as Mother Bell has not smiled on them yet. Asked her where the baby was, She responded coolly that he was on her knee, tearing pages out of the telephone directory, He loves tearing up books, especially those of sacred insti- tutes, like the Bell. I started him off with the inane coloured sections of the Saturday papers. He seemed to thrive on it, ripping them apart with gusto, relish, and any ketchup that happened to be around. 1 thought it wise to move him up to telephone books, police reports, politicians' speeches, beer labels and such examples of Canadian culture. Turns out he's a boy after my own heart. Attention Snowmobilers The Wingham District of the Ministry of Natural Resources will be conducting a information night and workshop of interest to snowmobilers, at the Wingham Legion on Tuesday, November 26, 1974 at 7:00 p.m. District Manager Dan Mansell will outline the Ministry's new snowmobile trail assistance program and the workshop will be held to provide the Ministry with needed details on present trails and to accept recommendations from clubs on the types of assistance they need.

Clubs wishing to attend should register with the district office by calling 357.3131 before 5 p.m. November 26. Each club representative should come prepared to advise whether they are incorporated or not, what their club activities include, the name and address of the club's president and secretary -treasurer, whether the club has liability' insurance or not, the club affiliation, and should bring maps or information on club trails or other known trails used by them. This is a very important meeting of interest to all snowmobilers. Check and make sure your club will be represented, and register with the Ministry of Natural Resources , in Wingham before 5:00 p.m. November 26. Go to it, Pokey. His real name is Nicov Chen, but 1 tacked Pokey on him, and it was stuck.

The hearing will be held on December 10, 1974 at 10.00 o'clock in the morning, local time, in the Blyth Memorial Hall, Queen Street, Blyth, Ontario, Plans of the proposed sewage works will be available for examination and inspection during normal business hours in the offices of the Municipal Clerk of the Village of Blyth and the Municipal Clerk of the Township of East Wawanosh, RR 5, Wingham, Ontario.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 20, 1974. Globe trotting Campbells leave New Zealand for Mexico In response to a great number of inquiries about Hugh and Orlena Campbell, travellers in New Zealand, here are the last two letters from them. The first was written on board a boat on the way to Mexico. Suva, Fiji is the only stop before Acapulco, Mexico. They are going to spend several weeks in Mexico, before travelling by bus to Blyth. DEAR MOM AND DAD, Oct. 19 Here we are sitting on board relaxing and watching all the people. This boat carries 2,000 passengers plus a crew of 300 or more. We left Auckland, N.Z. last night in rain and wind which made it seem quite rough. The sun is lovely today and by tomorrow it should be getting hot as we get close to Fiji. This is a much better boat than the one we came over on, it seems quite old but the rooms are very stately. Last weekend we went up to the Bay of Islands in New Zealand. It is an area rich in early history and was the place where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed which was an agreement between the Pakehas and the Maoris to end their fighting; Pakehas is the Maori name for white man, We spent four days there.

At every town people would sell food or drink through the bus windows. We were the only whites on board and were constantly entertained, We had to cross the river on a boat, then 12 of us crammed into a Volksbus to here. It's a small town with a dirt main street and people leading burrows every- where. We have a nice hotel room for $4,80 a day. It's a different world here and very poor with people living in grass huts and houses don't have glass windows. The Mexican music is beautiful and they play it early in the morning and in the evening. So it is beautiful waking up to music and roosters crowing. It is very backward here, everything being done by hand and very slow. Concrete is broken by sledgeham- mer and moved by hand.

Oaxaca has a fabulous Indian market and we will try and buy a few things. to It used to be the centre of the Zatapeco Empire before the Spaniards came and has some interesting ruins, We have met a girl about Orlena's age here from Mexico City, who speaks English and she has talked us into flying to Oaxaca, only 40 minutes to fly.
