Sewage
hearing
cancelled
Just as it looked like Blyth was creeping
closer to getting its sewer program
underway, another bump has developed in
the road.
Last week officials from the Ministry of
tim Environment had scheduled an
Environmental Hearing Board meeting in
Blyth on Dec. 10 to discuss details of the
project with local residents. This week,
T.M. Murphy, Board Secretary to the
Hearing Board announced cancellation of
the meeting. Mr. Murphy did not give any
reason for the cancellation but it is
understood the Ministry has had some
problems getting an option on the land on
which the lagoons for the sewerage system
were to be built. There was no indication
when the hearing could be expected to be
re -scheduled.
Art Show
featured
Saturday,
Sunday
Residents of the arca are invited to a free
art show on Saturday and Sunday at the
Memorial Hall.
The show, featuring top-flight artists
from Huron and Perth counties, is
sponsored by The Standard and its sister
publication Village Squire.
A special highlight will be an auction of
works Utile artists at 4 p.m. on each day of
the show. It's the chance for you to pick up
a beautiful addition to your home at a
bargain price.
Many reasonably priced paintings and
drawings will be on display and will
provide an excellent chance for Christmas
shopping for "special" Christmas gifts.
Proceeds from the art auction, and from
a donation box at the show will go toward
the costs of repairs to Memorial Hall.
Candidates
answer
questionnaire
Response to the questionnaire sent to
municipal election candidates last week
has been good.
The questionnaires were sent to all
candidates in Blyth, Hullett, East
Wawanosh and West Wawanosh (there
will be no election in Morris except for
school hoard). One hundred per cent
completion was found in Blyth for both
council and P.U.C., Hullett and East
Wawanosh. Response was not so heavy
from West Wawanosh but mail delivery
problems may have hindered return of the
forms in time for publication.
The information from the questionnaires
is printed in .this issue in the hope it will
help electors have some extra insight into
the thoughts and qualities of each
candidate.
Largest Standard
edition ever
As far as we can tell, this is the largest
issue The Standard has ever printed,
Because of the large amount of election
information included in this issue, and the
annual Standard Snowmobile edition this
issue totals 28 pages.

Board of Education examines busing problems at Nov. meeting
Successful candidates in Monday's
County School Board Elections will be
invited to a board meeting before they
actually take office,
The Huron County Board of Education
will invite newly elected trustees to attend
the December 16 meeting of the Board as
observers, the in camera session at 1:00
p.m. as well as the open meeting at 2:00
p.m.
Following the meeting at 4:30 p.m. an
organizational meeting will be held by the
trustees for 1975. Judge Francis G. Carter
of Goderich will be invited to swear in the
newly -elected trustees, the chairman and
the vice chairman will be elected and the
appointment made of the auditor, solicitor
consulting architect and a steering
committee consisting of chairman and
three members of the board,
An appeal by Mr. and Mrs. William
Berry of RR 3, Goderich, against a previous
board decision on bus pick-up of their
children, reopened the subject for
discussion again by board members,
it was ruled again by R.L. Cunningham,
transportation manager, that it was unsafe
for a bus to stop at the laneway to the Berry
home which is located in a hollow between
two hills, although Ontario Provincial
Police have made a written statement they
feel it is safe.
The board will leave it to Mr.
Cunningham to present the new board
proposal to Mr. and Mrs. Berry that the
**'**********************************'.'c r('>k * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Separate School bus driver (who does not
consider it unsafe to stop at the Berry gate)
to pick up the younger children, who attend
the Kingsbridge Separate School, and the
two older sons, who attend Goderich
Collegiate. This driver will drop off the two
older boys at the intersection at the top of
the hill where they will have a wait of 10
minutes for the secondary student's bus
(which will not now pass the Berry farm) to
take them to Goderich, In the afternoon the
proposal calls for the separate school bus to
meet the secondary bus where the two
older sons will be transferred to the
separate school bus and be dropped off at
their laneway.
Another busing problem was more easily
resolved for the children of Mr. and Mrs.
H. Baker at RR 4, Clinton, who had
previously been asked to go from their
honk on an incline on No. 4 Highway to an
intersection at the top of the hill to wait for
the bus to Huron Centennial School at
Bruccfield, This bus had to turn around at
the highway intersection. Also involved
was an unidentified kindergarten pupil on
a concession in Tuckersmith who was the
first on the school bus in the morning and
the last off in the afternoon. Mr.
Cunningham illustrated on a map that by
re-routing one of the buses the turn on the
highway was eliminated and the long ride
for the kindergarten child shortened.
On a motion from John Henderson of
Seaforth who said, "I feel so sorry for the
parents of the kindergarten child as this
happened last year in McKillop to one of
our students and a change was refused, i'll
move they re-route this bus!"
No action was taken on alleged
over -crowding on a 72 -passenger bus from
Goderich north to Port Albert arca.
Alternative suggestions offered were not
considered to be solving the situation
where sometimes 69 students ride on the
bus. Mr. Cunningham stated that
provincial regulations consider 69 pupils on
a 72 -passenger bus legal.
The resignation was reported of Mrs.
Susan J. Ritchie, clerical assistant at the
Media Centre, effective November 15.
, Superintendent J.W. Coulter informed
the board that arrangements had been
made with the Ontario Arts Council to have
Rebecca Burke, a professional artist from
London, instruct classes in J.A.D.
McCurdy Public School and Seaforth
Public School. She will spend Mondays and
Wednesdays in Seaforth and Tuesdays and
Thursdays in McCurdy for three weeks in
November. Eighty-five per cent of her
salary is being paid by the Arts Council.
Mr. Coulter reported guidelines for
metric measuring, grades 7 and 8 history,
grade 7 geography and physical education
(kindergarten to grade 8) have been
distributed to the schools this fall.
Committees are now working on the
preparation of guidelines for art (K•8),
geography grade 8 and home economics for
the intermediate grades.
The Royal Ontario Muscumobile con-
taining archaeological articles depicting
Man in Ontario visited several elementary
schools this fall but due to a breakdown in
equipment all schools scheduled were not
visited and plans arc underway to have the
vehicle return to Huron early in 1975,
Superintendent W.D. Kenwcll reported
that enrolment in the three schools for the
trainable retarded, Wingham, Goderich
and Huron Park, his grown from 38 in
September of 1969 to 66 as of November
13, 1974, an increase of almost 74 per cent.
R.B. Dunlop, Business Administrator
reported the Board Budget committee met
on November 7 to define the general
guidelines to be followed and an
Administration budget meeting was held
on November 12 to review the guidelines
and establish a timetable for review of
budget requests. A formalized budget
manual is to be prepared for those involved
in budget process.

Report from Queen's Park
Shulman
BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P.
'HURON -BRUCE]
Morton Shulman (NDP, High
Park) detailed what he called
corruption in the Seafarers
International Union of Canada
last week during a budget debate
in the Legislature, and urged the
Ontario Government to call a
Royal Commission inquiry into
violence on the waterfront.
Dr, Shulman said he had spent
six months investigating what he(
called the abuses and beatings
inflicted by SIU thugs on
Bankers
realize
farming
costs money
The heavy cost of starting a
farm makes it important that high
priority be given to financing
improvements in productivity
through research into agricultural
technology, a leading banker told
the second Agricultural Credit
Conference in Calgary recently.
J. Allan Boyle, president of the
Canadian Bankers' Association
which sponsored the conference,
told the opening session that the
"enormous increase in product-
ivity at a time when farm
agricultural employment is drop-
ping, the use of methods and
technologies...all have increased
the capital needs of farms,"
Mr. Boyle, also executive vice
president and chief general
manager, Toronto Dominion
Bank, said the average cost for a
beginning farmer now is close to
$85,000.
He said the basic principles
underlying- banks' farm lending
have changed. In addition to
short- and medium-term credit,
banks now arc going into longer
term and are basing farm loans
more on the farmer's ability to
repay than on his equity or
security.
More than 350 persons attend-
ed the conference, which featured
a wide range of expertise. The
audience and speakers included
representatives from farm associ-
ations, academics, banks, federal
and provincial government, agri-
culture departments, agriculture -
related businesses, as well as
individual farmers and ranchers.
Conference chairman, I.D.
Gibb, Manager, Agricultural De-
partment, Bank of Montreal,
summing up the two-day event,
said three major points had been
established: more co-ordination is
needed between provincial and
federal governments and the
private sector in order to
assemble a comprehensive credit
policy; guarantees to private
lenders will continue to play a
major role in the future, although
the "traditional shot -gun
approach is not the answer", and
that the conference had given all
groups concerned with agricul-
tural credit a chance to air their
views and pave the way for
advancement.
Agricultural credit legislation
was discussed by a panel of
experts two of whom advocated
overhaul of present agricultural
credit policies. "There has been
sufficient discussion and debate
in recent years...to suggest that
the present farm system is one of
disarray, severely affecting the
agricultural community," said
one.
Another felt that the current
programs available to farmers are
"less than adequate" and that
credit legislation and policies
should be concerned with the
long-term goal of encouraging the
larger efficient operation in
addition to helping. the smaller
and part-time operations get
started.

corruption in. Seafarers
dissident members of the shipp-
ing union,
After the Siu negotiated a
settlement with the Great Lakes
Shipping Association last April
many union members opposed
the settlement and were coerced
into accepting it, Union members
who refused were beaten, fired or
prevented from getting a job
because "the SIU ancl not the
shipowners control the water-
front," according to Dr, Shulman,
Dr, Shulman said he has sworn
affidavits from SIU members who
came to his office asking him to
intercede to stop the beatings.

The Community Recreation
Centres Act received second
reading this week. I1 replaces the
former Community Centres Act.
Since the programme was
transferred from the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food to the
Ministry of Community and Social
Services in 1972, and up until the
end of last March 31, 1974 a total
of $6,419,000 was paid out in
grants to help provide 1,500
community facilities.
The present Act has broadened
its definition of a Community
Recreation Centre to mean "land,
or all or any part of a building or
buildings or structure established
under this Act that is maintained
and operated for community
recreation activity." This will
provide the legislature flexibility
I1t
i
Union
through broader regulations, the
needed flexibility to accommo-
date present and future trends in
community recreation activity.
For instance, tennis courts will
now qualify for grants.
Under the new Act, the
maximum amounts of capital
grants will be the same for all
types of community centres.
Morever, it is proposed that the
maximum level be raised. An
increase in the maximum grant
ceilings is defined as the lesser of
$75,000 or 25 per cent of the
project cost. The increased
maximum up to $75,000 will allow
for improved financial assistance
more in keeping with rising
construction costs.

Ontario Revenue Minister Ar-

Atnendnient to lower the effective
rate of the Land Speculation Tax.
This statement followed a
communication from Federal Fin-
ance Minister, John Turner, that
the speculation tax would not be
an eligible deduction in comput-
ing federal income taxes.
This point was argued heatedly
during the debate on the Land
Speculation Tax Bill, In effect the
tax applicable without the income
tax deductible allowance is
something in the neighbourhood
of 110 per cent.

PG.4. THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 27, 1974. :::.�..:.;;•>:•;;;:.:;::;;: >:.;;:::;;:•;::;>::>;>;:;
EDITORIALS
What's the use of a board if it doesn't work?
Nothing can get wider the skin of an editor more than someone
telling him, "Get your facts straight" when the facts weren't wrong in
the first place.
Following an editorial (Let's raise a little hell) in the November 13
issue of The Standard about the voting districts for the Board of
Education, we had a letter from John Cochrane, director of education,
(see letters to the editor) and a visit from board vice-chairman Wilfred
Shortreed. Both pointed out that the Board of Education is not
responsible for setting its own voting districts, that this is done by
County Council under guidelines set up by the provincial government
which says we can only have 14 board members,
Both men suggested that we had our facts wrong. On re -reading the
editorial in question it is evident that we did not have the facts wrong.
We didn't say that the school board was responsible for the present set
up, we simply said the present system was rotten in that it made it
virtually impossible for anyone from Blyth to get elected, We
suggested that a rabble-rowser on the Board might get a little action.
Despite the protests of the two gentlemen that there is nothing that can
be done, we still believe in the two points we made in the original
editorial,
"We can't do that" or "We haven't the authority in that matter"
seems to be a favourite statement around the board of education (along
with "you'd better get your facts straight"), It's a nice excuse for not
doing anything.
That's not to suggest board members don't do anything. Looking
after routine board business takes a good deal of time. And the board is
greatly hamstrung by the rules set up by the provincial government
Sometimes farmers
can be wrong too
Some time this week, the annual meeting of the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture was scheduled to debate a resolution sponsored by the
Huron County Federation of Agriculture.
The resolution calls for farmers to withhold all dead livestock from
dead stock removal companies because this stock provides meat for pet
food or mink farms or leather for shoes. The reasoning is that if the
dead animals weren't given away pet food companies etc. would have
to buy the poorer grades of live animals and therefore help the present
beef surplus situation.
The main purpose of the resolution may simply be to gain publicity
for the sad state of affairs in the beef industry, yet when it is presented
it must be taken seriously. It's one of these instances when farmers arc
so concerned over their own problems they don't care who else gets
hurt.
Many farmers, who do not support the resolution point out that the
dead stock companies are actually helping farmers. Certainly the dead
meat boycott might help bring up beef prices slightly, but what's the
sense of driving people like the dead stock removal operators out of
business for a drop in the bucket.
This resolution is much like one the Federation promoted a couple of
years ago when they tried to group farmers together to tender on
petroleum supplies. The attempt was finally dropped, but what if it had
succeeded? It would have driven all but a few petroleum dealers out of
business, giving control to a smaller and smaller number of people,
Exactly the same thing, it seems, as concerns many farmers in the
depletion of the family farm.
Good old Gerry
Remember good old Gerry? You know that nice smiling friendly man
who emerged from the ashes of the Watergate mess in the U.S. and
seemed ready to lead a new style of presidency.
We Canadians, you'll remember, thought hoorah, because good old
Jerry came from just across the border in Michigan and he'd
appreciate Canadian -American relations a little better.
So much for first impressions.
Good old Gerry last week lowered the boom on Canadian farmers.
He slashed the importation of beef into the U.S. drastically.
Listen to good old Gerry and you'll think he had every right. After
all, he was just getting back at mean Gene (Whelan that is) for
imposing beef quotas on U.S. imports. But there's a few facts Gerry
doesn't bring out.
Like the fact the beef market in both Canada and the U.S. is in a
mess right now to a large degree because of the price freeze imposed
by President Nixon last year. With U.S. prices frozen, you may
remember, Americans shipped their beef up here like crazy, with sad
side effects for Canadian beef farmers. It thus inflated the beef import
figures from the U.S. last year.
This year came the D.E.S. ban in Canada and the ban on imports fed
with M.S. Canada was accused of using the ban to help our beef
farmers. And in effect, Mean Gene was helping the farmers since why
should they be banned from using growth stimulents while U.S.
competitors used them to produce meat more cheaply?
Then came the Canadian quotas. They allowed the Americans to
import beef at the rate they had averaged over the past five years. This
meant a cut for the Americans because the price freeze in the U.S. had
inflated import figures before the D.E.S. ban was imposed.
But good old Gerry didn't look at this when he announced what a
rotten bunch Mean Gene and the rest of us Canucks were. Possible he
didn't even know the facts, especially since his Agriculture Secretary
Earl Butts didn't seem to know his butt from his beef about the
situation. in a television news conference, for instance, he said the
D.E.S. ban was put into effect "about a year ago". The ban, if we
recall correctly, went into effect only hast spring.
Oh well, it may cost us $150 million a year, but maybe it was worth it
to learn ales guy
son: never trust a •who smiles that much...and plays
football without a helmet.
when the county boards of education were initiated.
The facts still remain, however, that a lot of things that "can't be
done" get done when a smart hard-working, stubborn individual
refuses to take no for an answer. Two years ago, some people in Blyth
were saying we couldn't get a senior citizens housing project. It's
coming, though more slowly than it should have been, because
councillors wouldn't take a no answer, if Blyth council had taken no for
an answer, there wouldn't have been a licensing bureau in the village
now. if council had not fought every inch of the way, we'd be a lot
farther from getting a sewage program in Blyth than we now are. We
achieved these things because we had some hard-headed stubborn
politicians who wouldn't let red tape and bureaucracy stand in the way
of action that needed to be taken,
We need the same kind of individuals on all political bodies,
including, frankly, the school board. if the province is setting rules that
handicap the work of the educational system, then for heavens sake
fight them, Use the influence of the local members of Parliament. Use
every trick in the book needed to get the rules changed to what they
must be.
The same goes for the local board administration. The first purpose
of the board must be to serve the people, not the convenience of board
members and administrators. We need people on the board who know
that, who won't take the easy route and buckle under to the pressure of
bureaucrats.
If we don't have that kind of person on the board, then we might as
well abolish the county board altogether and let the Toronto
bureaucrats and politicians run the whole show. It seems they are now
anyway.

Writer urges voters to vote
The Editor,
RATEPAYERS OF
WEST WAWANOSH
I wish to appeal to the residents
and others of our township who
have voting priviliges to take your
responsibility seriously. It is
encouraging to know that interest
in our local council has grown
exceedingly, It is a healthy sign,
and, 1 hope it will increase,
We have, on our slate, two
persons running for Council who
are new to us as possible
Councillors in the next term.
These are Marybell Cranston and
Arnold Stothers. If you do not
know these people, personally,
please make an effort to become
acquainted with them, Along with
experience Councillors, we need
newcomers, and 1 believe Mary -
bell Cranston and Arnold Stothers
will be an asset to our council.
Again, take your privilege to
vote December 2, 1974 seriously.
We ourselves are at fault if we do
not elect Councillors who repres-
ent us adequately.

Cochrane
says Board
has no control
The Editor,
Your editorial in the November
14th issue of 'The Standard'
seems to imply that your readers
should "raise a little hell" with
The Huron County Board of
Education over the distribution of
representation on the Board, NOT
S0,
The Secondary Schools and
Boards of Education Act of the
Province of Ontario delineates the
total number of members on the
board according to total popula-
tion of the county (i.e, 50,000 to
100,000 requires a 16 member
board of education). Further the
same Act places on County
Council, NOT the Board of
Education, the responsibility for
determining the distribution of
the total number of seats. In
accordance with the Act, this is
done by determining the ratio
that the equalized assessment of
each municipality bears to the
total equalized assessment of the
County and then combining the
fractions thus obtained into whole
numbers which total the number
of seats available.
1 trust this brief explanation
will serve to avoid any "hell"
being raised with the Board of
Education on a subject over which
it has no control.
Yours sincerely,
D.J. Cochrane,
Director of Education,
Huron County Board of Education
ED. NOTE: The Standard also
received a visit from Board
vice-chairman Wilfred Shortreed
on the above question (the first
visit we've had from any board
member in three years). Mr.
Shortreed also suggested we get
our facts straight. See editorial on

Food for the hungry
BY CECIL WITTICH
The recent World Food Conference in Rome reminded c s that five
hundred million people in the world are starving and that about ten
thousand are dying every week from starvation and diseases related to
malnutrition. A special news report on television last week gave us a
vivid picture of the hungry and dying in Bangladesh. The plight of the
starving is becoming more and more real to us and, what are we doing
about it?
Jesus told the story of a rich man who knew of Lazarus, a beggar, but
did nothing to help him, The rich pian had an abundance of food and
feasted every day. At the gate of his house lay Lazarus who would
gladly have eaten the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table. The
poor man died and went to heaven, The rich man died and went to hell.
In hell he cried out to Abraham to save him. "But Abraham said, "Son,
remember that you in your life time received your good things, and
Lazarus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and
you are in anguish., (Luke 16:25), It seems from this story that the rich
man's life after hehad died would have been different if only he had
shared his food and good things with the poor pian. That may sound as
though we are savcd by the good deeds that we do but we know that
that is not the case.
We are saved by the grace of God through our faith in Jesus Christ.
But our faith if it is going to be a living and saving faith must show
itself in love and good works. James made that very clear in his letter
where he wrote, "If a man says he has faith but has not works, can his
faith save him? If a brother or sister is ill -clad and in lack of daily food,
and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warned and filled',
without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it
profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead." (James 2:14-17).
We who enjoy life necessities in abundance are like the rich man in
the story that Jesus told. The half billion starving are like the beggar. If
we ignore the cries of the hungry and live only for ourselves, what does
that say about our faith and how is it going to affect our hereafter?
The Mission and Relief Funds of our Churches are a means by which
we can help, Perhaps the best Christmas gift that you can give this year
is to help feed the hungry of the world. Put yourself in their place, and
how would you feel?

BLYTH
CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL
NAME; Frederick H. Carson
AGE: 35
OCCUPATION: Clergyman
EXPERIENCE: 1 have always
tried to remain active in commun-
ity affairs - contributing several
years to the work of the Princeton
Board of Trade. I am a former
Chairman of that organization. I
was also privileged to be a
member of the Woodstock Jay-
cees - a wonderful community
oriented organization. i have
spent most of my adult life
working with people in a capacity
that has given me some under-
standing of the human personal-
ity; such a gift I believe is a
definite asset for serving in a
public office,
Although there are several
areas of Municipal Government
which concern me, recreation is of
particular interest to me at the
present, because this area of
community involvement touches
all age groups within the
community • from the very young
to the very old. The facilities that
are available to the residents of
Blyth make a full recreational
program an exciting possibility
and one which I believe the new
council should seriously consider.
When we are blessed with such
wonderful assets as the arena, the
fairgrounds, the playground, and
the Memorial Hall, we should
take advantage of the various
opportunities they present. A full
utilization of our resources should
be the goal of the next council.
Streets and Drains: Although the
streets of Blyth are basicly in
good condition, I feel that
consideration should be given to
the paving of those roads which
are presently gravel and/or in a
deteriorating condition. Of course
any such action should await the
completion of the drain and
sewerage systems and should be
done only then if the funds are
available. It would, 1 think, be
advantageous to possess roads
that did not need constant
maintenance.
I have recently observed
certain sidewalks which are very
much in need of repair. There are
a few that are dangerously
uneven and broken and should be
replaced before one of our
citizens seriously hurts himself. It
is well known that the intersection
of County Road 25 and Highway 4
is rather dangerous and has been
the scene of many accidents. I
feel that something should be,
done to improve the situation by
making motorists more aware of
this intersection. This could be
done through the use of a flashing
light and/or lighted 'stop' signs.
Also, I feel that the present speed
limit of 45 m.p.h. at this corner
should be reduced to 30 m.p.h.;
thus, increasing the safety factor,'
I believe that council should
approach the Ministry of Trans-
port and Communications to see I,
what can be done in this area.
Industrial Committee: From my
experience, it will be difficult to
attract industry until such time as;
we have a sewerage system
within the Village. In addition tot
having easy access to various
modes of transportation for i
moving their products, industry
requires two things above all else; I
a good water supply and a system j
which they can depend on for;
removing their waste.
Planning Board: The Planning
Board, in my opinion, has a very
important part to play in the
progress of any community and I
feel that the future shape of Blyth
will rest heavily with this group.
When planning the future, I
believe the board should seriously
consider zoning so that there is a
degree of uniformity - thus,
preventing a 'hodge podge' of
intermingling of commercial,
industrial, and residential. The
feasibility of this should be
studied. Of course, any changes
in this area would, 1 believe, need
the approval of the Ontario
Municipal Board and the local
rate payers.
Recreation: I have previously
stated my opinions concerning
recreation and 1 can only reiterate
what I said earlier, We have the
facilities for a truly sound
recreational program, so let us
use them to the greatest extent
possible. Recreation is, in my
opinion, a necessary ingredient
for one's proper physical, mental,
and spiritual development as a
human person.
1 was born and reared in
Princeton (12 miles east of
Woodstock) and received my
early education there. I worked
for several years at various
occupations before answering
God's call to the Ordained
Ministry, which saw me enter
Brock University in St. Cathar-
ines. After successfully complet-
ing one year at Brock, 1 entered
Theology and the Bachelor of
Ministry program at Huron
College in London. I graduated in
April of 1973.
With the many varied exper-
iences with which I have been
blessed, I believe that 1 am fully
qualified to serve on the Village
Council. More than this, however
I have a desire to make a small
contribution to our village. If you
feel that I have the ability to fulfill
the duties of the office which I
seek, then I would respectfully
request your support on Monday,
December 2. Thank you.
Name: Helen D. Gowing
Age: 48
Occupation: Owner and operator
of a Ladies' and Infants' Wear
Shoppe.
Past Experience: 24 years in
business in Blyth; 20 odd years as
a member of the Blyth Board of
Trade, two of those years as
President of the Board (71-72).
Do you have a field about which
you feel particularly strong and to
which you would like to contribute
as a councillor: I believe if elected
I could contribute most in the
recreation field or on budgeting
and finance. Running a business
even on a small scale you have to
budget and plan your financial
development ahead to keep
progress on an even keel,
Law and Order: I wonder about
the wisdom of local councils
approaching our Provincial Mem-
ber of Parliament to prevail on the
Government of Ontario to have
one Provincial Policeman station-
ed in each village in the county
instead of four or five stationed in
one town. We need more parking
facilities especially at the south
end of the village,
Industrial Committee: We defin-
itely need small industry to
attract more young people to want
to make Blyth their permanent
home. To date the lack of sanitary
sewers has discouraged most
small industries as well as larger
ones from locating here, but the
future looks bright as the present
council has the ground work on
sewers well advanced.
Recreation: I feel the senior
citizen has been forgotten in our
efforts to provide hockey, figure
skating, broomball, roller skat-
ing, swimming lessons, etc. for
our children. Don't misunder-
stand me; I feel these are very
necessary for the development of
our children. 1 wonder if it would
not be possible to give some
thought to the possibility of
providing curling, lawn bowling,
or some sport to help senior
citizens pass some of their leisure
hours actively?
As a taxpayer: 1 am interested in
seeing that taxes do not spiral
unnecessarily to make it a
hardship for taxpayers on a fixed
income.
As a business woman: I am
interested in progress. Without
progress small villages like ours
would soon disappear. 1 would
like to see Blyth develop to the
point where our young people
would not have to leave as soon as
they finish school to find
opportunities.
As a mother: I am interested in
the young people of the commun-
ity. I feel that there should be
some place open to them other
than the arena, where they could
spend their leisure hours in good
wholesome fun.
As a citizen: I am interested in the
Senior Citizen Housing project, 1
have reached the time in life
when i must realize that i will
soon be one of them, i am
especially interested that there is
adequate provision made for
apartment housing and retire-
ment activities.
Name: Bill Howson
Age: 32
Occupation: Miller
Past experience: As well as
having two years experience in
the council 1 have always been
interested and active in village
activities as in Blyth United
Church, Blyth Lions Club and
various sports activities.
Do you have a field about which
you feel particularly strong ahu to
which you would like to contribute
as a councillor: A few important
projects this next council is going
to face are the sewage system and
drainage system, town plan and
senior citizen housing. Along with
or immediately after these pro-
jects, 1 feel the village must
initiate a program of street
resurfacing and sidewalk repairs.
Because of the grant structure of
our province you must be
spending money to get grants,
therefore the village of Blyth
must have a council that is
aggressive and looking to the
future of the community.
Streets and drains: As you
already know, because of the
sewage project there will be no
street resurfacing until the
project is completed. At that time
1 would like to see a program
started and some streets resurfac•
ed each year. There are plans at
the present time to upgrade
drainage in the 'illage. 1 think
this is a must aid should be
followed through.
Water and Tight: Blyth has
recently upgraded its water
holding and pumping facilities. In
any new streets or areas of the
town that are being developed we
should see to it that the proper
facilities are installed. The same
applies to lights in the new areas.
I would appreciate your support as
Councillor for the Village of Blyth
on Monday, December 2.

i
Also each year some of the older
lights in the village should
continued to be replaced.
Law and order: in order to get
effective policing we must have
more people willing to come
forward and testify.
Industrial Committee: Blyth could
stand some growth in this area,
Planning Board: Members of the
Planning Board have been
anxious to get something started,
but because it must be co-ordinat-
ed or done by County Planners it
is a slow process.
Recreation: There has been a
move in the Province of Ontario to
try and get more participation
from the rural areas, l believe
Blyth should follow along with
this.
Anything else you feel the voters
should know about you: If I am
returned to council for the next
term 1 will continue to try and look
not only at the Village's immed-
iate needs but the long term plans
as well.
and engineering at the university
level and have some idea of the
problems involved in town plann-
ing. Also, as a housewife living in
Blyth for 22 years, I am aware of
some of the specific problems that
are coming up in the near future.
Do you have a field about which
you feel particularly strong and to
which you would like to contribute
as a councillor: 1 am interested in
continuing the work which has
been started for the senior
citizens' home. I am also
interested in furthering the
communication between the
school board and the council
regarding school problems.
Streets and drains: 1 agree with
the present council's decision to
update the gravel roads and keep
them in good repair but to hold off
with any paving until the sanitary
sewer is in. I feel we should
continue to urge the Minister of
Environment of the Ontario
Water Resources Commission to
arrange for the installation of
sewers as soon as possible. l think
that at least one sidewalk on most
streets should be kept open
during the winter months.
Water and light: 1 understand
that water service is inadequate
in some parts of town. I've also
heard complaints about insuf-
ficient lighting. 1 would like to
work for improvement in this
area.
Law and order: There has been
fairly good law enforcement in
town but it is not always
adequate, We need better protec-
tion to ensure the safety of both
the health and property of the
residents of the village of Blyth.
Recreation: I would Tike to
investigate the need for various
forms of recreational facilities
such as tennis courts, lawn
bowling greens, etc. and see
about constructing those that arc
most needed.
Anything else you feel the voters
should know about you: If you
wish any further information
please feel free to phone me -

Name: Sibyl McDougall
Age: 32
Occupation: Wife and mother
Past experience: I have worked as
a secretary for three years, I have
lived in Blyth for 10 years and i
am very concerned about its
future. i have no outside job,
therefore 1 have more time to
spend on village business.
Do you have a field about which
you feel particularly strong and to
which you would like to contribute
as a councillor: 1 would like to see
the hill arca represented on
council as it has some special
problems.
Streets and drains and Water and
light: I think these committees do
very well handling each individ-
ual problem as it occurs.
Law and order: 1 think we need a
very perservering committee to
push for more adequate police
protection.
industrial Committee and Plann-
ing Board: An Industrial Commit-
tee is needed to attract new
industry to Blyth and a Planning
Board along with a village plan is
very important to see that this
industry is located in the most
practical place possible.
Recreation: This is something
very important to me and my
children. 1 think all clubs and
organizations should be asked to
send a representative not just a
few, Each representative should
be put in for a two-year term. 1
think the Recreation 'committee
should become more involved in
setting up programs for all ages.
There are lots of activities which
could be organized at very little
cost. in the summer tennis, lawn
bowling, horse shoes, In the
winter, basketball, badminton,
chess, square dancing. 1 would
like Blyth to take full advantage of
the sports complex being planned
at Vanastra.

Occupation: Line foreman in door

Past experience: Taxpayer in
Village for 15 years.
Do you have a field about which
you feel particularly strong and to
which you would like to contribute
as a councillor: Industry and
recreation for youth of community
Industrial Committee: Industry
for village.
Recreation: For youth.
Name: Phyllis Street
Occupation: Housewife
Past Experience: I have had
training in Architectural design
Name: Con Van Vliet
Occupation: Hoisting engineer
Past experience: Grade and
Secondary schooling; Hoisting
Engineer's Certificate (electrical
and internal combustion); broad
experience in the construction
field, with work on Blyth streets,
surrounding area roads and
sewers; working with the public,
especially the latter years and
extensive travel in Ontario.
A field about which you feel
particularly strong: The field 1
feel particularly strong about is
the community itself, for if we
don't properly govern our own
affairs, it will be taken over by
others and run from afar.
Streets and drains: A touchy
subject: As for drains I believe
present council has taken a
futuristic view and acted upon it
with benefits to the whole
community. Very much will need
to be done on our streets with the
arrival of sewers. For the mean
time maintenance will have to be
kept up. i would suggest the
placing of signs at some
hazardous intersections.
Water and lights: Blyth has
always been fortunate in regards
to water and lights. I feel
maintenance is most economical
as it is set up at present.
Law and order: I think Blyth is
well behaved of late. Would still
look for improvement especially
on weekends.
Industrial Committee: Not
enough action here. We need
more industry. I am all for Blyth
putting out the welcome mat with
a big "welcome".
Planning Board: Will have a lot of
work to do and increasingly so as
Blyth grows,
Recreation: We should make
more year round use of the
facilities we have now, which
would increase activity for young
and old alike,
Anything else you feel people
should know: Yes. I am married
with three children; a member of
the Blyth United Church; assoc-
iate member of the Blyth Lions

17 years, owned property in Blyth

gardening and a seven year safety
award presented by Ontario

present economic climate that a
"hold the line" policy is required,
and keeping expenditures at a
minimum is an absolute neces-
sity. The only major expenditure
that I would consider in 1975 is an
alternate main across the Blyth
creek. Keeping expenditures at a
minimum in 1975, in my opinion,
is a must.

HULLETT TOWNSHIP
CANDIDATES FOR REEVE
Name: Hugh F. Flynn.
Age: 39.
Occupation: Farmer.
Experience: Having worked out
and attended meetings with other
people, is very important espec-
ially to be chairman or head of
any council. A good chairman is
valuable.
What do you see as the main
challenges facing your township
and the township council In the
coming term: The high cost of
material and labour especially for
build up of roads and improve-
ments. You must stay within your
budget. One dollar spent on road
buildup could save three dollars
in maintenance and machinery
repairs.
Pet peeve or project: Anyone
should weigh the facts and see if
they can give the time to attend
all meetings before they stand for
office. Lack of representation at
meetings will inevitable bring on
regional government. It is very
hard to be fair to all ratepayers
but everyone is treated the same
with me, rich or poor, supporter
or not.
"Municipal Life" if you attend
everything you should is very
non-profitable. This office will
probably cost you about $1000 to
$1500 over and above any
renumeration you take in. Plus a
lot of lost sleep.
I feel you must be self
employed to give the office the
time it requires. It now takes
almost every third day. And
sometimes they could be three
days in a row.

What do you see as the main
challenges facing your township

t 2spect of the leadership of
Hullett Township at the county

towards both the Huron County
Planning Board and the Hullett

carried out. The review of all

New invention will help fight
pollution in rural areas
Winner of the Gold Medal
Award at the international
Inventors' Show in Geneva in
1973; approved by the Ontario
Ministry of the Environment
under Section 57 of the Environ-
mental Protection Act; an ideal
sanitary -sewage system for
people in rural areas where it's
difficult and expensive to conform
to strict provincial regulations...
this new invention that is
providing a natural solution for
sewage requirements is called the
Humus -Toilet.
This unit has made modern
sanitation facilities possible for
Conestoga students make
toys for hospitals
"Project Pumpkinhead" was
the summer brainchild of Rick
Budd, Doug Jameson and
Anthony Davidson, three Design
students at the Doon Centre of
Conestoga College.
During the summer months,
with the funding assistance of an
Opportunities for Youth Grant,
these three young men undertook
the design and manufacture of
125 wooden toys to be donated to
hospital pediatric wards, non-
profit day care centres and
centres for exceptional children.
Rick, Doug and Anthony spent
the first three weeks of the project
designing and establishing a
clean and simple line: a truck,
bus, racer and a three car train.
Another week was spent on
designing and constructing jigs
and patterns, shopping for special
tools, and ordering the required
materials.
Arrangements were made with
the Wood Technology Division,
who gave complete co-operation
to the project in the use of their
equipment and in supplying their
professional advice.
The toys' bodies were made of
clear white pine and the wheels
were cut from soft maple. Each
toy was hand -sanded for approxi-
mately two hours, and was
sprayed with four coats of plastic
varnish. The large wheels were
painted in bright primary colours.
All wood used was purchased
through the College in rough
form, and was finished using
College wood products' facilities.
The final stages of Project
Pumpkinhead were the assembly
of the toys and their distribution
to the various centres.
Huron teachers
take part
in workshop
Thirty-one of Huron County's
elementary school teachers part-
icipated this fall in the first
teachers' outdoor workshop held
at Point Farms Provincial Park,
on Lake Huron, four miles north
of Goderich.
The workshop was an introduc-
tion to the Lands for Learning
program which is being introduc-
ed in Huron County to make
Crown lands more available to
teachers for class projects and
field trips.
Lands for Learning has been
co-ordinated by the Huron County
Board of Education, the ministry
of natural resources • Wingham
District and the Maitland and
Ausable-Bayfield Conservation
Authorities.
Each of the toys is a superbly
designed and constructed work.
The toys are solid, of great visual
appeal, and should provide many
house of pleasure for countless
children. Certainly Rick, Doug
and Tony are to be commended
for donating their time and
talents to this worthwhile task.
Rick, Doug and Tony expressed
their Gratitude to Bob Hoffman,
and Len McDonnell, Jerry Nag-
!uski and Syd Weatherall of the
Wood Technology Division, and
to Alex Brown and Mac Rostance,
for their co-operation and assist-
ance in making Project Punipkin-
head a total success.
summer cottages, ski chalets,
barns, mobile homes, new
developments, basements and
many old buildings. It's ideal for
construction sites, planes, ships,
mining and lumber camps. in the
past three months, more than 250
units have been installed in
Canada, mainly in the provinces
of Quebec and British Columbia.
About 50,000 units have already
been installed in 17 countries
throughout Europe.
Developed in Sweden, the
Humus -Toilet is a biologically
decomposing unit, looking very
much like a modern bathroom
facility. Its fully automatic
mechanical process transforms
human waste into non-polluting
environmentally -safe humus.
Completely odorless, the process
requires no water or chemicals,
no septic tank. It operates from a
standard electrical outlet.
. A year's daily use by four or
five people would result in about
55 pounds of dry humus collected
in a tray beneath the bowl...
humus that's pollution -free and
suitable for use as flower garden
fertilizer.
The Humus -Toilet costs
approximately $800.

What do you see as the main
challenge facing your township: I
don't foresee any major chall-
enges at the present time. I have
every reason to believe that the
ratepayers of the township will be
electing men to the council who
may be willing to share their
ability with me if I am elected
reeve and with -God's help we can
meet the challenges that may
develop in the future.
Any pet peave or project?: I have

gained a lot of municipal
experience. I think this should
help me serve my township even
better in the upcoming year as

What do you see as the main
challenges facing your township
and the township council in the
coming term: The most challeng-
ing project of East Wawanosh
Township council in 1975.76 will
be the Township official plan
which is to be started this corning
year. This to be known as
Township of East Wawanosh
Official Plan on land use

guidelines of Huron County
Official guidelines. -
Township roads are always a
challenge to maintain and im-
prove. Recreation in the township
as well as joint effects with the
neighbouring municipalities will
also be important.
Have you any other pet peave or
project: Another project I think
any member of council should
consider, is trying to get more
people interested in municipal

local government to postpone the
time regional government may
take over; 3, The challenge of
increasing expenditure and taxa-
tion.
Pct peave or project: One of my
pet peaves is the apathy of people
who do not take an interest in
local government or elections
thus leaving the door open for
something other than democracy.

My education included an
Agricultural Business Manage-

graduation 1 was employed by
United Co-operatives of Ontario,
in management training, before
buying my own farm. 1 feel that 1
have been in a position to see a
variety of problems and their
possible solutions.
•
Main challenges: As a young
farmer I want to see that land use
planning is given a very impor-
tant priority in order to keep farm
land for the farmers. There is too
much land going out of produc-
tion compared to rt tc of Canadian
population increase.
Pel peeve or project: I object to
the Ontario Hydro plan for a
Nuclear Power plant between
Goderich and Grand Bend. From
what I observed, while working
for U.C.O. in the Kincardine,
Chesley, and Elmwood area,
nuclear power plants have far-
reaching effects. They leave
many farms not properly worked
and a breakdown of the system of
neighbours freely helping each
other on the farms.

Agricultural
museum gains
big prize
An old landmark on Burling-
ton's Appleby Line has found a
new life in the Ontario Agricul-
ture Museum near Milton,
"The Lucas Farmstead, as it is
known, will be the first set of
pioneer buildings to be establish-
ed on the site," says R. W.
Carbert, general manager of the
museum. "1t will be one of a
series of about six farmsteads we
hope to erect and restore as part
of the display."
The farmstead had remained in
the Lucas family for six genera-
tions until its recent sale by
George Lucas in the spring of
1974. The frame house built in
1835, and two barns built around
1840, were donated by the Steel
Company of Canada which had
purchased the Lucas farm for
industrial expansion within the
city of Burlington.
While the barns could be
dismantled and trucked to the
museum site, the house could
not. So the house - 24 foot by 74
foot long - was transported intact
on a 100 -foot long float escorted
by a convoy of vehciles as it would
along the approximately 16 -mile
journey.
The trip went extremely well,
Mr. Carbcrt feels, despite some
concerns. "We crossed three sets
of railroad tracks and had to
detour through a field to avoid a
Bell Telephone trunk line," he
says. "And at Milton Heights,
the float had to back up once so
more supporting members could
be added to the temporary
'bailey' bridge before we could
cross over."
Restoration has already started
on the house and the barns "are
next spring' and summer's
project," says Mr. Carbert.
Acquisition of the Lucas Farm-
stead is an important step in the
Ontario Agricultural Museum
development, which will provide,
when completed, an historical
display for the artifacts of Ontario
agriculture.

DANGER OF FREEZING FROM EXPOSURE
Use buddy system to spot frost bite
Under calm conditions, most
snowmobile enthusiasts will be
fairly comfortable at low temper-
atures, but flesh exposed to both
cold and wind at low tempera-
tures can frostbite easily.
Watch for frostbite when out in
temperatures of zero or below or
even aboue zero if the wind is
strong. Use the buddy system to
try to spot the telltale white spots
on exposed flesh of the ears,
cheeks or nose of your compan-
ions.
Minor frostbites will quickly
respond to the thawing effect of a
warm hand or other heat. Refrain
from rubbing a frostbitten spot,
as this may damage frozen skin
tissue and cause, at best, severe
chapping.
The wind chill chart shown here
gives you an idea of what can
happen to exposed flesh under
calm wind conditions compared to
temperatures with different wind
velocities.
Snoplan assists trail development
in snowmobile provinces
All states and provinces
with heavy populations of
snowmobilers, plus resorts
seeking to attract snowmo-
bilers from both urban and
rural areas, have developed
extensive groomed snowmo-
bile trail networks in the
past four years.
New snowmobile trails and
facilities have been essential
to snowmobilers enjoying
their sport, and a major im-
petus in this trail develop-
ment has been provided by
the Snoplan program intro-
duced in 1971.72 winter by
Bombardier Limited and its
Ski -Doo snowmobile division.
Snoplan studies show that
snowmobilers almost without
exception stay on and safely
enjoy good trails, And where -
ever they do this, virtually
all criticism of snowmobilers
and snowmobiling has disap-
peared!
These tips will
cut snowmobile
operating costs
Last winter many snowmo-
bilers were concerned about
the fuel shortage in the
United States. Now, with
higher fuel prices, the same
ideas developed to save gaso-
line will help them save
money, say design specialists
of Ski -Doo snowmobiles, The
ideas include:
• Measure and mix gas
and oil accurately and fol-
low manufacturer's recom-
mended ratio.
• Drive at moderate
speeds. Constant moderate
throttle operation with slow-
er acceleration will utilize
fuel more efficiently.
• Don't idle the engine.
Idling consumes fuel without
any positive results and may
cause inefficient operation
due to sparkplug fouling and
high operation temperatures.
• Keep the engine in top
operating condition at all
times,
•Use only new or clean
sparkplugs of the proper
heat range and with the
proper gap.
• Do not change any of
the carburetor settings on
the machine.
• Maintain all the vehicle
components in good condi-
tion throughout the season.
This includes proper track
and drive chain tension, pro-
per ski and clutch alignment,
and proper lubrication.
Much of the work in the
Snoplan trail development
program has been done
through snowmobile clubs.
At the same time, work has
been carried on with fores-
try, park, recreation, and
other public land managers,
other government officials,
and private land developers
to plan and maintain good
snowmobile trails.
Keys to good trails are '
preparation of the trail areas
to necessary dimensions and
safety conditions, point out
Snoplan advisers, and the
maintenance of the trail in
smooth, well-groomed condi-
tion during snow season. A
prime Snoplan goal from the
beginning has been to help
snowmobile clubs obtain
needed grooming equipment
with minimum output from
club treasuries,
Under this year's Bombar-
dier Snoplan program, any
snowmobile club purchasing
a new Skidozer trail groom-
ing vehicle will receive over
a period of three years three
new snowmobiles, either Ski -
Doo or Moto -Ski brand, for
use in club trail grooming
promotion and financing.
A plan for use of Alpine
twin -track snowmobiles in
grooming also is available.
For further information
about Snoplan and develop-
ing groomed trails, inter-
ested snowmobile clubs
should contact Bombardier
Limited, Industrial Products
Group, Valcourt, Quebec,

Was Plaisted first
over ice?
Ever meet an insurance
man who has battled his way
on snowmobiles to the North
Pole and lived for a year
with his family in the North-
ern Canadian wilderness?
Well, meet Ralph Plaisted,
St, Paul (Minn.) insurance
man, who has done both!
In 1968, Plaisted and three
others became the only ex-
pedition to reach the geo-
graphic North Pole over the
snow and ice and have their
position verified by an out-
side source, the crew of a
U.S. Air Force Weather Ser-
vice plane which flew over
Plaisted and his fellow ex-
plorers, Gerry Pitzl, Walt
Pedersen, and the late Jean•
luc Bombardier, and re-
corded that "everyplace from
where you are is South!"
The Plaisted Expedition had
Here's a chance
for Tahoe fun
There's a big mid -winter
snowmobiling party sched-
uled for the Lake Tahoe
mountain area of California
and Nevada in February that
figures to be one of the top
events of the snow season.
It's the Moto -Ski Winter
Dream Safari and guests will
be 10 couples selected in a
contest running from Octo-
ber 15 to November 30. De-
tails are available at partici-
pating Moto -Ski snowmobile
dealers.
Safari members will be
flown to Reno, Nevada, then
driven to the High Sierra
resort area of North Lake
Tahoe for six days and five
nights of all expenses paid
fun. There'll be new 1975
Moto•Ski snowmobiles for
use on daily guided safaris
onto the mountain trails.
Ralph Plaisted
fought incredible weather,
shifting and breaking ice,
and huge pressure ridges to
reach the "Top of the World"
on Ski -Doo snowmobiles.
Some students of the Arc-
tic, as they carefully review
the accomplishments and ex-
periences of the Plaisted
Polar Expedition in relation
to those of earlier Arctic ex-
plorers, have come to the
conclusion that Plaisted's
group actually was the first
to reach the geographic
North Pole, 90 degrees
North, by travel over the
ice! One who has said
Plaisted was first is Dennis
Rawlins, in his recent book
entitled Peary At The North
Pole: Fact or Fiction.
Three years after his suc-
cessful adventure to the
North Pole, Plaisted, his wife
Riki, daughters Taffy and
Lesle, and Brian Brooks, son
of a close friend, began an-
other dream . . to live a
year in the wilderness of
Northt rn Saskatchewan.
Plaisted and his family
built themselves a cabin,
braved the long winter sub-
zero weather, and survived
the year-long "live-in" to
complete what they call "the
best year of our lives,"

Snowmobile trails open new vistas
There's an exhilarating
feeling about riding a snow•
mobile that's hard to de.
scribe, The air is fresh and
tingling, often with a touch
of frost or fresh falling snow,
and the whole body takes on
an aura of new life as ma-
chine and rider make their
way across the mantle of
white.
Trail -riding with a snow-
mobile designed especially.
for it, such as the new T'NT
Fans by Ski -Doo, takes you
up and down the rises and
declines, around the curves,
brings new beauty into sight.
Then, in use areas where
there are wide expanses
made ready for the snowmo-
biler, breaking new powder
to accept a slower of flakes
brings even mare enjoyment.
The Track 'n' Trail ma-
chines for '75 make use of

somewhat wider stance and
track, and quick -response
clutch for ' control, balance
and performance.

count on to get you there and bring you back.
But this year's Olympique has changed.
It's as trustworthy as ever. But It's loaded with
exciting new features that make It a sheer joy to ride.
We've moved the reliable Rotax engines up front and

2 -piece jacket, pants outfits
set snowmobiling fashion trend
There's fanciwork in the shoulders of these new Ski -Doo snow-
mobile jackets, the men's version in black with orange and yellow
highlights, women's in orange with black and yellow splashes.
The trend in snowmobile
apparel for the 1974.75 win-
ter season is stylish versatil-
ity and utility in warmly -
durable jacket and high
pants combinations, with
colors, patterns, and prices
to parallel the variety of new
'75 snowmobiles.
That isn't to say the one-
piece suit is out this season.
There are warm one-piece
outfits for the entire family.
But primarily, emphasis for
guys, gals, and youth is on
a variety of jackets to wear
with black high pants, point
out fashion designers from
Bombardier Limited's ap-
parel group.
Jacket colors in Sports-
wear by Ski•Doo, the pioneer
in snowmobile clothing, re-
volve around various com-
binations of brilliant orange,
yellow, white, and black
(yes, black is brilliant in
these nylon outfits) and
those are the same high -
gloss hues of the new '75
snowmobiles from Bombar-
dier.
Apparel color harmonies,
styles, and prices follow the
pattern of the snowmobiles
from relatively conserva-
tive, least -expensive models
for the entire family up
through the pizzazz and
somewhat higher prices of
sporty, luxurious styles.
The look is classic, stream-
lined, distinctive . . . sim-
plicity with style . the
complete look, with helmet,
boot, and mitt colors and
styles coordinated to jackets,
pants, and suits.
Sportswear by Ski•Doo
highlights a distinctive new
This flattering denim jacket
from Moto -Ski Sportswear has
inter -filler lining for warmth in
cold winter outdoors.
Ski•Doo jacket for men and
women in orange with con-
trasting yellow and black
shoulders and sleeves, or in
black with stunning yellow
and orange contrasts. Going
beautifully with it are black
high pants, helmet with the
same color combinations,
mitts and boots for total
look.
Typical of the quality con-
struction vital to snowmo-
bile apparel, the new Ski -
Doo jacket has two snap -
down -flap pockets at the
waist, zipper -closed breast
pocket, two-way full-length
zipper, underarm eyelets and
back yoke for ventilation,
detachable belt with full tun-
nel back loop, convertible
zipper waist for tight or.
loose fit so mitts or gloves
may be worn inside or out.
Lining is polyester fiberfill
quilted to nylon for warmth
with less weight. As in most
'75 Ski -Doo apparel, the jack-
ets and coordinated high
pants are oxford woven wat-
erproof nylon.
Versatility of pants with
high bib front and above -the -
waist back is ideal for snow-
mobiling. Such pants, with
hip -length jacket, assure
snowmobiling warmth and
protection comparable to
one-piece suits . .. yet the
jacket can be removed for
comfort during brief stops
indoors.
There's an attractive dou-
ble-breasted black Sailor
jacket for the gals which has
fun fur collar and two yel-
low stripes around each
wrist. For family compata-
bility, Elan and Drifter jack-
ets, pants, and suits come in
sizes for virtually all ages.
New Abaca styles from
Moto -Ski Sportswear have a
coordinated look not only in
outerwear but in sweaters,
tuques, mitts, socks, and
other knitwear for apres
snowmobiling. In this ap-
parel line, tangerine, white,
and black project sharpness
and appeal ... and for spe-
cial emphasis, Moto -Ski of-
fers a denim -look, water-
proof jacket for men and
women which has thicker
yet lightweight inter -filler
lining ideal for all winter
outdoor sports.

Boa Ski tour shows
full production plan
BY LOUIS E. WHITS1TT
SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO
SNOWMOBILER
There arc many reasons why
Boa -Ski '75 is a sleek, high
performance snowmobile. The
answer to its wide acceptance as
such by a growing horde of
enthusiastic snowmobilers was
found by the sled's Ontario
dealers upon touring the modern
Quebec manufacturing facility as
guests of Alsport Inc. and Hilstad
Distributors Limited.
A great light of pride glowed in
their eyes as executives of Alsport
Inc. and Hilstad Distributors
displayed complete production
and assembly of Boa -Ski in
Alsport's La Guadeloupe sprawl-
ing plant...
That even the snowmobile's
tracks are manufactured in the
Boa -Ski plant came as somewhat
of a shock to many dealers and
some sales representatives mak-
ing the trip. In the factory,
capable of turning out 45,000
Boa -Ski snowmobiles each year
between June and October, a
finished snowmobile track, carry-
ing a full 12 -month warranty, is
turned out every 20 minutes.
Curt Johnson directed guests
attention to special facets of plant
production. Alsport Boa -Ski's
research and development centre,
employing colourful snowmobile
racing star Joe Chabot, has come
up with answers which make the
La Guadeloupe plant self-
sufficient in most ways. A clutch,
designed and developed in the
R.D. Department, performs with
great efficiency on all Boa -Ski
models with the exception of
Boa -Ski's SS series, which uses
Comet, Guests were given a
closeup of clutches being
produced.
"The plant employs 250
people, turns out snowmobiles
from early June through October,
does all fabricating of chassis for
Mark 1, Mark 11 plus aluminum
chassis for the SS series,"
Bernard Bombardier explained.
It was pointed out by Hilstand
Sales Manager John Curry that
the plant also manufactures the
Boa -Ski E Z Rider No, 2
suspension.
dealer enthusiasm to the new
program and in Ted Carpenter,
we have a veteran in sales and
service who knows the dealers

Location of factories needs to be regulated, says Hill
As long as industry dictates its
own location in the province, too
much fertile land will be taken out
of food production, Gordon Hill,
president, told the annual con-
vention of the Ontario Federation
of Agriculture in Hamilton on
November 25.
Once a factory site has been
chosen, supportive services, --
power transmission and pipe-
lines, homes, service highways
and recreational facilities •- must
develop close by, Hill pointed out.
There is some choice of which
farm land will be taken for these
developments, but the choice is
narrow, Hill said,
"if the people of Ontario allow
a steel mill to be built on the north
shore of Lake Eric, we know the
general arca where all other
necessary services will be
provided,
"instead, we should be able to
say to a steel mill: 'Locate in a
less developed, less congested
arca where land and climate are
less suitable for food production'.
Then the choice on where to
locate supportive services would
be much wider,
"As long as industry dictates
its own location, choices for
farmers are limited and farms will
suffer."
Hill said the OFA will continue
its crusade for rational land use
planning and urged the 500
farmer -delegates to get involved
in local planning issues. However
he pointed out farmers must be
compensated for land frozen into
agriculture,
Hill told the meeting that
starvation is an affront to farmers
who know it need not be as
widespread and prevalent as it is
today. He urged the Canadian
government to make available
funds to help Canadian farmers
share their talents with farmers in
developing countries,
"Many ingenious Canadian
farmers have the skill to make
do, invent, fabricate and make
work whatever is at hand.
"These are the people the
Canadian government must help
to share their talents with farmers
in developing nations -• not
woolly-headed ivory tower scien-
tists •- but practical farmers who
can make things work."
Hill warned politicians and
other detractors not to try to
dismantle farm marketing legis-
lation.
"Fairness and equality in the
market place do not just happen.
They are the result of equal
bargaining power," Hill pointed
out, "Farmers know well the
results of unequal bargaining
power between a large number of
small sellers versus a few large
buyers. We have lived with the
results for generations.
"Our answer has been to
develop marketing boards --
producer-controlled marketing
boards -- and, by -anti -large, they
have served well,"
Hill said the boards have
served consumers too, by pr•ovid-

from the public purse.
Century farth
signs available
"Century Farm", a centennial
sign project initiated by the
Junior Farmers' Association in
1967, identifies farms in Ontario
that have been owned by
descendents of the same family
for 100 years or more. With
considerable renewed interest in
the project by owner families now
eligible, as well as the need for
replacement of original signs, the
Junior Farmers' Association of
Ontario is undertaking the project
again as one of its current
activities.
The new signs • 16 by 19 inches
and pre -drilled for hanging • arc
constructed of high quality, satin
coat steel. They are printed on
both sides, with the only
difference from those distributed
in 1967 being that the year is
removed.
Persons wishing to apply for
one of the signs must meet the
qualifications established for the
project. Each farm must have
been owned by direct descen-
dents of the same family for 100
years or more. In addition, the
farm must have someone living
on it and still be in active
production. Incorporated farms
are eligible if they arc still owned
by the same family. A county or
district supervising committee
will make the final decisions on
the eligibility of a farm in each
arca.
The signs will be sold to
qualifying owners by the Junior
Farmers' Association of Ontario
at cost price - $7.00, subject to
change without notice.
Application forms for the
project and further information
should be obtained from Keith
Williamson, the county Junior
Farmer provincial director,
887-6587, or from the local office
of the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food in Clinton.

High food prices for people on
fixed incomes are of concern to
farmers but are not a problem for
the food system to solve, Hill told
the meeting.
"High prices are a problem for
society, a problem that can be
resolved by Parliament; not a
problem that can he resolved by
low food costs alo,ie."
He urged the Can idian govern-
ment not to back down, from

Lower cost housing is one of
our greatest needs.
This is what Ontario is doing
to help provide it.
Ontario today has more houses and more
new housing programs than ever before.
We are, unquestionably, among the best
housed people in the world.
But the cost of housing, for Poth owners
and renters, has increased shay ly in recent
years.
With this in mind the Ontario Government
has developed many programs to ease cost
pressures and help make more housing
available. Four such programs are:
1. Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP)
offers grants and loans for home improve-
ment through local municipalities to low
and moderate income homeowners. It is
particularly directed to the rehabilitation of
sub -standard dwellings, with emphasis on
faulty structural and sanitary conditions,
and the up -grading of plumbing, heating
and electrical systems.
2. CommuDLtyponsored Housing, Program
supports the development of reasonably
priced housing through non-profit housing
corporations operated by groups or munic-
ipalities. Grants to these groups -which
may include labour unions, churches, wel-
fare agencies, educational and charitable
institutions, and service clubs -cover up to
10% of the value of a housing project. In
return, the group makes available up to 25%
of the project units for Ontario Housing
Corporation's rent supplement program.
3. OHC'S Assisted Rental Housina for Fam-
ilies and Senior Citizens provides accom-
modation for the elderly and for families,
on the basis of rents -geared -to -income.
its purpose is to subsidize rental payments
for people 60 years of age and older and
for low-income families.
4. Home Ownership Made Easy(H.Q.M.E)
Plan brings home ownership within the
reach of many moderate -income earners.
Houses are built on serviced lots which are
then leased by Ontario Housing Corporation
to new homeowners who have the option of
buying the land after five years. This com-
bination makes lower -than -normal down
payments possible.

Pipe and cigar smoking can
damage health too
by David Woods
Cigarette smoking has been
linked to lung cancer, heart
disease, emphysema and a whole
host of respiratory and other
problems. In Canada, and else-
where, television advertising of
cigarettes is banned, and cigar-
ette packages carry a warning
that their contents are dangerous.
Pipes and cigars, on the other
hand appear to have escaped
these indictments and restrictions
almost completely. Does this
mean that tobacco smoked in
these forms is harmless?
Not at all, says Dr. Norman
Warne, a Toronto surgeon and a
member of the steering commit-
W.I. entertains at smorgasbord

tee of the recently formed
Canadian Council on Smoking
and Health. The cigarette smoker
who switches to cigars or a pipe
has established a smoking pattern
says Dr. Delarue, that makes hint
liable to inhale the smother from
either. And that's just as
dangerous as cigarette smoke.
Even for pipe and cigar
smokers who don't inhale, some
of the smoke, inevitably, is going
to wind up in the bronchial and
nasal passages -and even in the
lungs.
Admittedly, that's not quite the
same as taking in the deep
breaths of concentrated smoke
that the inhaling cigarette smoker
takes; and it can also be said, in
defence of pipes and cigars, that
the smoke they produce burns at
lower temperatures and comes
from tobacco that is likely to less
impregnated with chemicals.
Moreover, it's only tobacco that's
smoked -not paper.
Against that, it must be
recorded that cigars and pipes
have been clearly implicated in
various cancers, notably of the
throat and lip, and in a number of
respiratory problems, The clear
fact, as Dr. Marne sees it, is that
taking smoke into the body is
obviously not going to do any
good -and niay well do consider-
able harm.
While others niay argue that
pipes or cigars represent an
alternative for the pian who must
smoke something, they offer no
such option to women (except in
such tolerant countries as Den-
niark where women do smoke
cigars). Perhaps this is because
pipes, at least, arc such noxious,
messy, graceless and anti -social
instruments that no self-respect-
ing woman would be caught dead
with one.
it seems rather odd that pipe
and cigar smoking continues to
enjoy social respectability while
cigarettes are becoming increas-
ingly ostracized,
Perhaps, in considering the
dangers of smoking, we should be
less kind to the pipe and the
cigar, considering them, as King
James I did, "a custom to
loathsome to the cyc, hateful to
the nose, harmful to the brain,
dangerous to the lungs, and in the
black stinking funic thereof,
nearest resembling the horrible
Stygian smoke of the pit that is
bottomless".
Now if we'd put that warning
on tobacco packaging .

Dr. Charles Mcllveen, M.P.P.
of Oshawa has hit the headlines
recently in a Toronto paper when
he spoke at the Ontario Hockey
Association when 107 club dele-
gates gathered at the Royal York.
Dr. Mcllveen who spoke on behalf
of the Oshawa Generals said
players have stopped dropping
their gloves and fighting and are
now high sticking. He remarked
that he had had to stitch more
facial cuts in a few games that the
Oshawa Generals for exhibition
this year so far than he did up to
Christmas last year. He opposed
the new ruling of "fight and
you're out" which was defeated
at this meeting. Charles was born

Gertrude Mcllveen of Oshawa

How can people get pleasure
taunting animals?
DEAR ANN LANDERS: Is the world going bonkers or am I getting to
be a crochety old woman?
1 read recently that psychiatric treatment had been ordered for
"Jackie," a chimpanzee whose mind became disturbed because so
many humans taunted him,
The zoo's curator ordered that the ape be put on tranquilizers several
months ago when he began smoking the lighted cigarets thrown into
his cage by ignorant fools. Jackie was then placed in a private cage and
the crowd barrier was lengthened to keep the public farther away.
But people continued to throw bottles, stones, fruit, nuts and other
objects, Jackie's condition grew worse. Now he is withdrawn,
depressed, and under psychiatric treatment.
1 cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would get pleasure
out of taunting a helpless animal. Please explain. --DISGUSTED WITH
THE HUMAN RACE
DEAR GUS: Forgive me for being corny but it takes all kinds of people
to make a world. Since a zoo is a public place it attracts every segment
of society—ignorant fools as well as animal lovers and decent people.
Sorry about what happened to Jackie. It speaks poorly for the human
race.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 need your help to save my marriage, My wife
and I have been sleeping together for four years, When 1 say sleeping
together, 1 mean that's all we've been doing. There is very little of
anything else.
My wife claims she has a mental block against sex and refuses to
perform her wifely duties. I keep telling her our marriage is in danger
because 1 need more affection. Last night she suggested that 1 find a
nice girlfriend to "calm me down." 1 could but I don't want to. 1 didn't
get married to go out and cheat on my wife. The whole idea is repulsive
to me.
My wife also has a bad back, which doesn't help matters any. Will
you please give me some advice so we can enjoy a healthy marriage? 1
am 27 and she is 25. Thank you, Ann. —OVER -SLEPT
DEAR MR. 0: Your choice of words gave me a clue. A man who
considers marital sex a "wifely duty" needs counseling. And a wife
with a "bad back" who encourages her husband to go out and find a
girlfriend needs a physical checkup and some mental overhauling.
hope you will go together for joint counseling. And beware of phony
counselors. The woods are full of 'em.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: A few days ago 1 was playing my clarient in the
back yard and this guy who plays the flute came over, so we were
having a duet. Two girls we know dropped by and asked if they could
be our "audience." We said OK. I got called inside for a few minutes
TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
THE TORONTO 111\J SYNDICATE
Ken looks all dressed up to have his picture taken, but this 10.
year-old is often seen that way. Ken is particular about his
appearance. That appearance is pleasant, as the picture shows.
Ken is a slim good looking healthy boy with dark eyes, brown
hair and fair skin. He wears glasses for short-sightedness.
Ken recently moved to a farm foster home where he is
discovering a whole new life that he hadn't known when living in
the city. He loves the farm, the outdoor life, gardening, the
animals (he is especially fond of dogs) and says he hopes his
adoption home will be a farm.
Ken's foster parents find him co-operative and helpful. He is
especially kind to small children.
Ken enjoys sports. He plays hockey and badminton and other
games when there are enough people around to make up teams.
He likes swimming and enjoys camping and is fond of music.
Ken is not a top student but is with his age group in Grade Five
on a trial basis. If this proves too difficult, he may have to repeat
some or all of Grade Four.
To inquire about adopting Ken, please write to Today's Child,
Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K,
Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information, consult
your local Children's Aid Society.

and I gave niy clarinet to one of the girls to hold. She knows the value of
a musical instrument because she used to play the flute herself.
Well, the other girl, I'll call her .Judy, took my clarinet out of her
hands and tried to take off the mouthpiece, She broke my reed. It cost
40 cents,
Who do think ought to pay for the recd, Judy or the girl I handed it
to? --IN NEED OF A REED
DEAR NEED: The girl who tried to take your clarinet apart should offer
to buy you a new reed. But look, kid, it cost you 13 cents to mail this
letter and the envelope and paper must have come to at (east 2 cents.
There's 1S cents right there, For another quarter you can buy a reed
yousclf, which I suggest you do, rather than get into a hassle with the
girls.
It's not always easy to recognize love, especially the first time
around. Acquaint yourself with the guidelines. Read Ann Landers's
booklet, "Love or Sex and How To Tell the Difference," For a copy,
mail 35 cents in coin and a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope

BY BILL SMILEY
Had to make a speech the other
night to the honour students at
our school. 1 say "had to",
because, the vice-principal who is
six feet twelve, told me I was
going to be the guest speaker, I
am five feet eight and a half.
How can you be a "guest"
speaker when you work in the
joint?
However, I done my best, as we
say in the English department. It
wasn't much of a speech, but the
remeneration was not exactly
princely, either, Zero,
1 abhor speakers at honour
nights who get up there and
praise the kids and tell them to
stick in there and fight and be
competitive, because that's what
the world is all about,
i took rather a different line. i
told them that being an honour
student is chiefly a matter of
birth, Either you are born with
some intelligence, in which case
you can walk through our school
system, or you are born to a
mother or father who makes you
get off your lazy butt and do some
work. In either case, it was an
accident, not something to sit
around and feel self-satisfied
about.
Both my kids were honour
students, in Grade 9. And the boy
could almost tic his own shoelaces
when he was -14, and the girl was
still knocking over her glass of
milk at table when she was 14.
From Grade 9 they went straight
down hill. But I'm not too worried
about them. They both have a
sense of honour, and that's a lot
more important, to me, than
honour standing in school.
Some of the rottenest people,
physically, morally and emotion-
ally, whom I have ever met, have
been honour students. With no
sense of honour,
I was an honour student too,
once, in Grade 8. This was back
about the time of the Boer War. I

The Blyth boys romped over
Teeswater twice this week by
lopsided scores of 6.0 and 9-0.
In the first game Blyth scored
quickly with Kevin Coultes
connecting on a pass from Dave
Plunkett, Blyth continued to put
consistent pressure on the oppon-
ents but couldn't score until the
third period when Rick Scrim-
geour scored. Murray Mason
found the net shortly after on a
pass from Jim Oster. Rick
Scrimgeour and Bruce Hunking
completed the scoring.
On Monday, Teeswater return-
ed to . get dumped 9-0, Rick
Scrimgeour picked up a hat trick
and one assist. Ronnie Howson
scored twice with Brent Andrews,
Darryl Chalmers, David Plunkett
and Mark Crawford completing
the scoring, Assists went to Bruce
Hunking, Kevin Leis, Dave
Plunkett and Kurt V4 nitfield
picked up two.
In three games the boys have
accumulated 20 goals and haven't
allowed the opposition a single
goal,
Next hone game is Monday
night against Teeswater.
About that word honour
knew 1 was about the smartest kid
in the school, and was confident
of coming first in Grade 8, or the
Entrance, as we called it.
Entrance to what, I never did find
out, Entrance to five more
stultifying years of school, 1
guess,
Unfortunately, though i was
the smartest kid in school, 1 was
also the laziest, Eddie Kirkland,
now a big corporation lawyer in
Montreal, came first. I beat him
up as soon as the results came
out. This didn't solve my
frustration. Muriel Robbins came
second. I was going to beat her up
too, but she was bigger than i, so
I settled for third.
Third is a good place to be. You
can't be accused of being a
teacher's pct, as we called it, or a
"brown", as today's youngsters
so bluntly label it. On the other
hand, you have proved that you
are not a dummy, I've been
running a comfortable third ever
since.
I was the third member in our
family of five. It was rather
pleasant. I didn't have to compete
with my older brother and sister,
and 1 could bully my younger
brother and sister.
When it came time to take our
lumps in the war, 1 still ran a
comfortable third. My older
brother chose to have himself
blown up, rather spectacularly.
My young brother, in a desperate
attempt to get some recognition,
won a decoration for bravery,
after being shot down in the
English Channel, (1 don't see
what's so brave about that.) I
went quietly off to a prison camp,
and emerged with three thousand
dollars in back pay. They were
both broke.
There's nothing wrong with
being a third-place runner, I don't
mind getting a little mud in my
face, as long as I finish in the
money.
Now let's be serious for a
moment. I'd like to take a closer
look at the word "honour". It's
one of those abstract words that
you hear less and less these days,
as though it were embarrassing to
utter them. Words like compass-
ion and virtue and chastity and
loyalty and decency. People
almost blush when they use one
of them. It seems that we all have
to be tough and callous.
From this "all", I would except
our young people, who are not
afraid to talk of love and
compassion and tolerance and
kindness and pity.
They see only too clearly
through the "plastic" world they
have been bequeathed: a world of
false values, lip service to ideals,
and violence.
No wonder there is a genera-
tion gap, We worship the golden
calf, and are flabbergasted when
our kids see it for what it is: a
graven image.
We want to sweep everything
under the rug, so the neighbours
won't see it. We want our kids to

Behind the scenes
Time for our citizens to stand up and fight for their rights
BY KEITH ROULSTON
A couple of weeks ago the
citizens of a town up in Bruce or
Grey county (I can't even
remember which one at present)
had a picnic...in the town dump.
Now 1 can think of better places
to have a picnic and better times
of the year too for that matter, but
1 must congratulate the people of
that town and hope more people
follow their example.
Not that I'm suggesting we all -
have a weekly picnic at the town
dump, but that we should begin
to stand up for our own rights a
little more. The picnic, you see,
was a unique form of protest by
the local citizens about provincial
government attempts to force the
little town into expensive land fill
practices at the dump. The
citizens felt the dump was being
well run as it was and were so
sure of it, they had a picnic on the
site to prove it.
It just so happens that Blyth
has the same problem brewing
right now. The province wants to
prevent the village from burning
garbage at the site and to have
everything buried instead. The
local councillors feel this would
not only cost more money and
take up much more room, but
would also mean a more
unsanitary landfill site. Presently
all combustible material is burned
Bishop Ragg
visits
Blyth parish
The Right Reverend T. David
Ragg who was recently elected as
Bishop of Huron paid a visit
recently to the Parish of Blyth
which includes Belgrave, Auburn
and Brussels Anglican Churches.
The Bishop and Mrs. Ragg
along with two other clergy and
their wives were entertained to
dinner at the Rectory by the Rev.
Fred Carson. Dinner was served
by two members of the A.C.W.,
Mrs. John Nesbit and Mrs. Anne
McNichol and was much enjoyed.
Later a very inspiring service
for the whole parish was held in
Brussels Anglican Church when
the Bishop preached a sermon
which gave much food for
thought, that by prayer and trust
we may become more involved in
the work of the church.
After the service a very
enjoyable social hour was spent
enabling the Bishop to meet the
people of the congregation, The
Brussels Ladies served a delicious
lunch.
Masonic Lodge
installs officers
The installation of the officers
of Blyth Masonic Lodge 11303 was
held on Monday evening, Nov.
25, Gordon (Bud) Chamney was
installed as master, and in
attendance was his father, Robert
Chamney of Auburn and Bud's
brothers and other relatives from
Sarnia and also his brother from
Auburn.
Other officers installed were as
follows: I.P.M. Wor. Bro. Robert
Marshall, Sr. W. Bro. Grant
Elliott, Jr, W. Bro, James
Chalmers, Chaplain Wor. Bro.
Wm. Campbell, Treasurer Wor,
Bro. Irvine Wallace, Secretary
Bro, Harvey Sillib, Sr, D. Bro.
James Walsh, Jr. D. Wor.
Clifford Coultes, D. of C. Wor.
Bro. Warner Collings, Tyler Wor.
Bro. Russell Wilson, I.C. Bro.
Graham Jackson, S.S. Wor, Bro.
S.A. Montgomery, Jr. S. Wor.
Bro. James Howson.
After the meeting was closed
Bro. Chamney entertained all the
brethren to a lunch at the Triple K
Restaurant.
out of the garbage and the rest is
buried,
I have a personal prejudice
against burning garbage whether
it be at our local dump or through
an incinerator which the provin-
cial officials think is a great item.
To mc, garbage should be
recycled as the province is now
planning to do in cities like
London.
But what makes me burn is the
way the non -elected provincial
officials are able to order elected
officials around in small towns, I
think it's time we began to fight
back,
The timing seems to be right
for such a fight. With four
straight by-election loses the Big
Blue Machine is perhaps feeling a
little vulnerable. For 30 years the
Conservative provincial govern-
ment has steamrollered over
everyone, imposing legislation
people didn't really want; build-
ing up a huge bureaucracy that
was so sure of itself that it made
people serve it, not the bureau-
cracy serve the people. We've
had school boards we didn't want,
regional governments we didn't
ask for, civil servants we disliked:
all in the name of progress.
Now is the time to fight, With
the monstor feeling faint, we
should be pressing the attack. We
may be lucky and see the
government turned out in favour
of a more democratic one in the
next election but we can't afford
to wait and take the chance, With
the government on the defensive
we should be fighting like heck to
get some democracy back into the
working of this province. Democ-
racy is not the electing of people
to posts where they can't really do
anything anyway. Democracy is
being not only able to elect
people, but being able to
influence the rules under which
they operate (the school board is a
prime example),
Democracy is not being told
what to do by a horde of
desk -bound Toronto civil servants.
who care more about going by the
book than serving people's needs.
The majority of the 30 -odd
years this government has been
in office has been spent trying to
turn the people of the province
into seven million computer
numbers who sit quietly at all
times except every four years
when they're supposed to go out
and vote Conservative.
Democracy in Ontario, except
at the municipal level, is a joke.
The province has been turned
over to civil servants who know
who pays the bills and therefore
will fall into line when a cabinet
minister snaps his fingers. The
push to regional government and
the push toward a district health
council is an attempt to turn the
last two areas of focal participa-
tion over to the bureaucrats. Both
regional government and the
health councils would be, like the
school boards, dominated by the
Hullett School Happenings
OUR LAWS
On Monday, November 18, the
grade three class accompanied by
their teacher, Mrs. Jenkins,
travelled to Goderich and toured
the Huron County Jail and the
Ontario Provincial Police station.
At the jail, Mrs. Wallace was
their guide and they found the
tour to be very interesting.
Constable Wray took each child's
finger prints at the police station.
The class saw the radio room and
the equipment carried by a police
car.
The trip was very helpful to
their study of police work and
laws,
MORE VISITORS
Two teachers from Central
Huron Secondary School visited
Hullett Central on Friday, Nov-
ember 15.
Mrs. E. Richman of the
Mathematics department and Mr.
J. Brownridge who teaches
English spent time in the classes
of grades seven and eight. They
also discussed school programs
with the teachers of those classes.
It was a professional develop-
ment day for the Huron County
high schools,

paid civil servants, not by the
elected officials. In the process,
not only do we have a system that
costs far more, but we have a
system that is not responsive to
the needs of the people it's
supposed to serve: a system, in
fact, that finds people's wishes
simply headaches in the way of
bureaucratic efficiency,
It's a task that won't be easy.
We've got to fight not only to stop
turning the country over to civil
servants, but to roll back the
march of bureaucracy, We've got
to turn the government back to
the people, It's a big battle, but it
starts right at the local level: in
your own backyard, or like the
people of that town we mentioned
earlier, in your own garbage
dump.
