A huge snowblower has been working cutting along high snow banks along Highway 4 this week. Meeting to study Concern over the plight of beef producers in Huron county has prompted the Huron County Federation of Agricul- ture to call a meeting of all beef producers to try to come up with some answers to the problem. The recommendation for the meeting was made by the executive of the Huron Federation and approved at the regular monthly meeting held Thursday night at Colborne Central School near Carlow. No date has yet been set for the meeting but it is expected to be this month. Adrian Vos, of Blyth, explained that the executive felt the need of the meeting because it had received queries as to what the Federation was doing for the beef farmers and it didn't have any answers. He said it was hoped the beef farmers themselves would be able to suggest something that the Huron county directors could take to the monthly Ontario Federation of Agriculture meeting in Toronto. County director Jake Van Wonderan said the beef situation was drastic and that county beef producers were losing tens of thousands of dollars, Mr. Vos explained that the low beef prices were also helping to drive down pork prices, thus bringing problems for pork producers. Morris sets road budget Road topics took up much of the business at the March meeting of Morris Township council on March 3, The road budget was set for the year. with proposed expenditures totalling $126,104 of which $70,500 would come from provincial subsidies. The township will request a supplementary allocation of $9,000. Tenders are to be called for the supply, crushing and delivering of 20,000 cubic yards of gravel to township roads. Tenders will also be called for the Cloakey and Blyth Creek Drains. The council concurred with the resolu- tion from the township of Hullett in regard to reinstituting the wolf bounty and agreed to send a letter to the Ministry of Natural Resources in regards to the matter. beef Inside WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1975. Editorial Church Classified Coming Events Loss $30,000 in 2 Bainton burglaries Ontario Provincial Police officials est- imate the haul from two break-ins at the Bainton Limited wool and leather factory outlet store this week at $30,000. The first burglary took place on Saturday night when the burglars entered through a lower floor window and made their way upstairs where they took a quantity of sheepskin rugs. The haul from the crime was not large and a police official said it may have just been a case of the burglars wanting to get to know the layout of the building and what to take for the later robbery. Some time Monday night, while neighbours slept, someone entered the building again through a lower -floor window (but a different one) and made off Page 4 Page 7 Page 18 Page 19 with a large quantity of expensive leather and suede garments, valued, according to police at about $30,000. Though the value of the merchandise sounds impressive, police say it could end up being worthless to the burglars. A police official said it is very hard to dispose of stolen leather and suede coats and police have had great success in the past recovering such goods stolen. Several months ago another break-in was made at the Bainton store but the merchandise was recovered and men charged in the case. The break-ins were discovered by employees when they came to,work in the early morning. The aid of anyone who heard or saw anything suspicious in the area would help police in solving the crime. Hullett organizes' warble fly program Hullett township council set up the warble fly spraying program at a special meeting in the township hall on March 8. The meeting was called following unsuccessful results when tenders were called for an opened at the regular meeting on March 3. James Leishman's tender for spraying warbles at a rate of 20 cents per head or a minimum charge of $5.00 for herds of 25 tittle or less was accepted. problems The meeting will be held in a central location in the county and everyone interested in the beef situation will be invited to attend. Guest speaker at the meeting in Carlow was William McEachern of the Department of National Revenue in Kitchener. He explained some of the new tax proposals and how they would effect farmers. Changes proposed for the coming year would allow a farmer to buy a Registered Retirement Savings Plan for his wife and deduct it from his income, up to the maximum allowable deduction. Beginning in 1975 income from all private pension plans will be taxable but there will be a $1000 deduction, he explained. The $1000 per year tax free savings plan for buying a home was explained as to how it could affect a farm family. If a wife is working and has a second source of income, Mr, McEachern explained, she could set up a savings plan even though the family may already own a farm home registered in the husband's name. She could invest up to $1000 per year and deduct this from her income and put up to $10,000 away to buy a house when the couple retires from the farm. This plan can also apply to sons working at home and hoping to buy their own farm at some time in the future. The interest on these savings is non-taxable. He also explained capital gains tax legislation and carried on a lively, lengthy discussion with the 60 farmers present. Mason Bailey delivered the report from the O.F.A. directors meeting and spoke of a resolution asking that since farmers must now pay dead stock companies to remove dead animals, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food set up a system of removing dead stock and make sure it not go for commercial use. A hot topic of discussion was the O.F.A.'s plan to stabilize farm incomes by introducing a price -insurance plan. The plan would be administered by the O.F.A. with farmers paying one third the cost and government two thirds. The plan would work on a commodity -wide basis and would compensate farmers when prices fell below the price calculated as the reasonable cost of production. Farmers would pay into the plan when the price was high and draw when prices dropped below the price of production. Adrian Voss, vice-president of the Huron unit, explained that the plan was not compulsory and that some production controls would be in effect. Several speakers seemed to think the production controls would have to be much stronger to make the plan work. No final result came of the discussion. The tender of Cyanamid Farm Supply Centre for 705 pounds of warbicide at 75 cents per pound. The council set the rates for spraying at 35 cents per head and a minimum of $5.00 and a charge of $1.25 per pound of powder, The council also agreed, at the special meeting, to send the township ditch commissioner to the Drainage Commiss- ioner's School. The severence of Wilfred Scott for Lots 1 and 2, concession seven was approved. The report of the Wallace Drainage works was provisionally accepted at the regular meeting on March 3. Court of revision will be held on April 7 at 9 p.m. Building permits were issued to Mantred Losereit for a house; Oliver Wright, garage; Tom Whyte, garage. Tenders are to be called for the two closed portions of the Beane Drains number one and two. Tenders will also be called for the purchasd of a five ton truck. Tenders for 18,000 cubic yards of gravel to township roads were also called. Blyth Bantams captured the Western Ontario Athletic Association championship and are now involved in the O.M.H.A. playoffs. Before Monday night's game against Plattavtlle, team captain Stove Howson was presented with the championship trophy by longtime Blyth hockey booster Russell Wilson. PG.2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 12, 1975. This 'n' That Restaurant to re -open We understand from a conver- sation with Mason Bailey, owner of the former Huron Grill restaurant building, that the restaurant may soon be open again, at least as a coffee bar, Renovations to the outside of the building were made before the winter set in. At present renovations are being made to the inside. When the restaurant re -opens, it may only serve as a coffee bar in the beginning, ***** A small audience, mostly from out of town, enjoyed the one-man play Naked on the North Shore presented in Memorial Hall on Sunday afternoon, The show told the storyof a small village in g Labrador. Profits from the show were to have gone toward improvements in Memorial Hall. Unfortunately, because of the poor turnout, there weren't any. ***** Though the audience for Dave Broadfoot's show Take A Beaver To Lunch was small in Blyth at under 200 persons (again, most from out of town) it was better than over in Listowel where only 100 turned out. But there was a difference. in Listowel a local group had put up the usual $1000 guarantee for the show and may have put itself in hock for a long time to come because of the poor crowd. In Blyth, however, no local group was stuck for the money because Blyth was the only stop on the tour where Broadfoot agreed to come without a guarantee. He agreed in Blyth to take what was left of the take after all expenses were paid, As a result, he took out just over half the amount he would have been guaranteed in an appearance elsewhere. As a result, Blyth and arca audiences got a chance to see big league entertainment without having a local group take a financial beating. ***** Because some members' of village council were, or are, on holidays in the south, Blyth council meeting postponed was ost oned from March 3 and will be held Monday night, March 17. Use Standard classified ads for results Trustees raise salaries to $150 Members of the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board voted in favor of increasing the honorarium paid to trustees to $150 per month effective January 1, 1975, The 12 -man board rejected an ammendment to increase the honorarium by 100 per cent to $200 informing the board that the legislation regarding pay hikes had not changed since 1969 and was not likely to change again in the next six to seven years. "We are working for about $2 an hour on our present honorar- ium", Mr, Young said, "most people don't realize the time a trustee puts in on the job and we are worth a couple of hundred dollars anyway." One board member stated that since the school board's term is onlytwo months old and they were elected to serve at the rate that was offered at that time that perhaps the increase should not come until September of 1976. Mr. Young argued that since other boards such as Huron and Stratford had received raises 'o $300 per month the Huron -Pc board was actually classifying, itself as second-class executives with the small increase. The board also raised the mileage expenses for trustees to 16 cents per mile effective January 1, 1975, Previously board members received 10 cents per mile while travelling on board business and a motion to increase that figure to 18 cents was defeated. Now the mileage to be paid to trustees will be 16 cents per mile travelled on board business whether or not they arc travelling in their own vehicle, A vote to delete the clause that stated whether or not they are travelling in their own vehicle was tied and chairman director J, Vintar voted to leave the clause as it stood. Members argued that the clause be deleted claiming that a trustee who did not for example drive to a meeting be paid mileage expenses, However Mr. Vintar pointed out to the board that in essence a board member was entitled to the mileage expense regardless of how he or she got to the meeting. In other board business mem- bers voted for an appointment of a hiring agent. The motion presented will appoint the chief executive officer as the Huron- control over the hiring of Perth County Roman Catholics educational personnel. Separate School Board's hiring agent. Also before any personnel arc hired by the director a letter of recommendation must be presented from their recent pastor. Also two trustees will serve as a hiring committee for teachers and other educational personnel. Members argued that the boards should be responsible for the hiring of all educational personnel. The discussion was sparked by an ad for a part-time teacher for a Goderich school in which the applicant was to reply to the principal. The trustees were assured that the board has final approval but often act on the advice of a principal. It did not mean that the board did not have I no•I ' ovp' ON ALL PURCHASES,.MADE FOR CHILDREN WITH FAMILY ALLOWANCE - CHEQUE R.W,/IADILL S SHOES/MEN'S & B4OYS' WEAR "The store with the good manners" CLINTON DRY CLEANERS PICKUP AT MADILL'S,ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY / BUSINESS IIIRECTORY REID & PETERSON Chartered Accountants 218 JOSEPHINE ST.

It is far from Garner's best book. 1t is repetitious and padded inexcusable with articles he has written and a speech he has made. There is nothing of the grace and strength of his magnificent short stories or the solid skill of his good_ novels. _ But that's as it should be. He is. writing about Hugh Garner the man, as well as Hugh Garner thee. writer, and nobody knows better than he that, while the latter may be on the way to becoming a Canadian literary giant, the former has feet of clay, if not putty. Garner makes it quite clear that Women's Institute plans banquet The March meeting of the Women's Institute was held in the Memorial Hall with Mrs. John Hesselwood in charge. The meeting opened with the W.I. Ode, Mary Stewart Collect and 0 Canada. The minutes of the last meeting were approved. The W.I. 65th anniversary will be celebrated on May 12 at 8 p.m. Mrs. Clarence Diamond of New Hamburg will be the guest showing slides of the A.C.W. convention held in Australia in 1974.

Mrs. Keith Webster is to go as the delegate to the Officers Conference. in Kitchener in April. Mrs. Lloyd Pipe of Londesboro was guest speaker and gave the story of Mary Stewart Collect. Mrs. A. Montgomery gave two piano solos, Blue Jeans hold first meeting BY JAYNE WATSON The Blue Jeans 4-H club started off its first meeting for the club, "What Shall I Wear?" with the 4-H pledge. . The roll call for this meeting was, "Why Did I Join 4-H?" Each girl gave an answer. This meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Cheryl Hessels at 8 o'clock and the next meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. at Marie Barrie's house on March 12. The club chose the officers, They are as follows: president, Lorie Campbell; secretary and press reporter, Jayne Watson. The name of the club is "The Blue Jeans", Mrs. Hessels discussed what is to be in the sewing boxes and Mrs. Carter discussed what to think about when planning a wardrobe. The group work was done by Jayne Watson and Karen Richmond. The girls then had lunch which was brought by Shelly Patterson and closed the meeting with the 4-H motto. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 12, 1975. PG.3. A salute to Canadian author Hugh Garner he is far from being an admirable person, in the usual sense. He gets drunk at, or arrives drunk at, formidably serious events. He tells people to do impossible biological things to themselves. As he tells it, he is the sort of guy you would never invite to a second party at your place, because he would likely have insulted someone at the first party. Or, if you invited him to a party as the guest of honor, he'd probably get into a beer parlor and forget all about it, leaving you, his host, with egg on your face when the "distinguished author" failed to show. Despite the somewhat dim light in which Garner often shows himself, he makes it perfectly clear that he admires himself very much. Out of the book comes a good, strong, healthy ego, which is fine. Every real writer must have this belief in himself, or he turns into a door -mat for editors and publishers, And somewhere along the line, as you read this book, you begin to share Garner's opinion of himself. In most of us, however sedate our lives, there lurks a hidden rebel, a wild nonconformist, a teller -off of the boss, a fighter for hopeless causes. Garner has been, and is, all of these things, and we can enjoy ourselves, vicariously, by ident- ifying with his colorful, batticful life. Hugh Garner has been fighting battles all his life, and a less doughty fighter would long since have been buried physically, socially, and perhaps spiritually. As a kid, he fought the obloquy and occasional humiliation of the very poor in a Toronto slum, and emerged from it tough and chip -on -shoulder. As a youth, he dropped out of school and ran head-on into the Depression. He bumped all over North America, riding freights, seeing country, working at many things, and storing a great fund of experience for his future fiction. He learned earlier the frustra- tion of a proletariat facing the establishment and this led to a suspicion of, and disillusionment with, authority, which he has retained all his life. He fought as a volunteer in the International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War. This was probably the last gallant crusade in the history of war, when thousands of young idealists from many nations left home to battle fascism. Most of them were scorned and derided as "reds" in their own countries, Yet Garner was clear-headed enough to realize that the Communists were using the volunteers as dupes, and he was never sucked in. Again a fight loomed, when Canada declared war on Ger- many. Garner joined up, in the army, right away. His "red" background was against him, so he switched to the navy, and spent a number of dangerous, tumultuous and hilarious years before his discharge as a chief petty officer (he certainly wasn't "officer material"). Then came the biggest battle of all, trying to become a profession- al writer in Canada. At the time, he had about as much chance as he would have had if he'd chosen to run for king of England. Doggedly, he fought stupid editors, timid publishers, and the great apathy of the Canadian reader, sustained only by his own sublime and certain conviction that his stuff was good. It was a long, pitched battle, with many a skirmish, the occasional rout, and the just -as - occasional victory. But he won. At his best, Hugh Garner is one of the best short story writers _in the English language, with a grasp of the feelings and motives of "ordinary" people that is wholly credible. His novels are above average, a couple of them excellent, notable "Cabbagetown." Where most of us can identify with Garner is in his scorn for the petty, the bureaucratic, the timid, the phoney. He is somewhat like a "naughty" baby who pulls the cat's tail, knocks over the delicate table with the Spode figurine on it, and sits up looking around to make sure everybody is taking notice. If Canada were the sort of country which erects statues of its writers, heaven forbid, Garner would be sculpted in solic stone, a fiendish grin on his face, a chip on each shoulder, and his right arm outflung, the middle finger of that hand raised erectly in the universal gesture. f,CA SH AND CARRY DAning Room Suite Spanish Style 13 PIECE REGULAR $639.00 SPE.CIALREDUCTIONS ON EVERY SUITE IN THE STORE styles, finishes, prices for everyone Now $299:00 PRICED FROM $ 259,50 UP 600D SELECTION ,,/ OF,," QUALITY MODERN 3 PIECE SUITE WITH FRAMED MIRROR SUDO.

We should all share County council's decision to spend up to $15,000 toward the cost of maintenance at Skyharbour airport in Goderich is a good one. We have often in the past been against attempts of Goderich groups to get the rest of us in the county to pay for services which benefit Godcrich most, but this isn't one of those cases. Skyharbour, if run properly, is an asset to the major portion of the county. If the airport is put back in the shape it should benefit everyone. I► this day of decreased railway service and marginal bus service, we need all the potential transportation facilities we can get. Perhaps, someday, we may get a STOL (short take off and land) air passenger system, though given the records of both the federal and provincial governments in providing passenger service to rural areas it seems doubtful. But at least we should be ready if, miracle of miracles, we ever did get a chance for some improved transportation, $15,000 is a pretty small price to pay for preparedness. Inexcuseable cutbacks The provincial Ministry of Educations decision to cut off the entire capital budget of the Huron County Board of Education is hard to understand. It's decision to cut off capital funds to the Bruce County board, however, is downright outrageous, There can perhaps be some question as to whether or not Huron needs the extra classrooms it has budgeted for. Perhaps we can get along with out this new facilities, There is no question, however, that new facilities are needed north of the county border in Bruce. The population of the south -Bruce arca continues to grow strongly. There is only one reason for that growth: Ontario Hydro's nuclear generating station and the accompanying heavy water plant. it is completely inexcuseable that one branch of the provincial government can cause growth problems while another branch refuses to help cope with the problems. One more reason for Huron to continue to fight against a generating station is our county. Do something positive Union leaders in Canada often decry what they call unfavourable public view of themselves. The leaders accuse the press of being "anti -union". They say the government has a bias against them and that the general public doesn't understand them, Well whose problem is that? The only time we ever hear about the unions is when they're clobbering us, the public, over the head with another costly strike so they can get more money, Union leaders, it seems to us, are paid officials who can only justify their jobs by threatening strikes or calling strikes. What do they do between strikes? The role of the union in Canada is strictly a selfish one: it is designed only to get more money or better working conditions for workers. Unions have it in their power to do much more and thus establish themselves as a positive body, not a negative one. Only seldom do we hear of an exceptional project of a union to help promote the business that employs the union members. Only seldom do we hear about union -operated safety courses. in Russia, the unions are a much more positive power. The hockey teams that tour Canada nearly every year, for instance, are all sponsored by worker unions. Here it has been suggested that unions take a hand in providing day care facilities, Unions could be more active in helping support community events. There are so many other positive projects for the unions. How can unions win a better reputation? By working at it like everybody else. Could we suggest striking while the iron is hot? Down but not out Another week, another poll. And another setback for Premier William Davis and hit Conservative government. The latest Gallup Poll issued last week showed the Tories had slipped again leaving Opposition leader Robert Nixon out front with a 12 per cent lead in the vote. The government, it would seem is all but out on its ear. Maybe...but there's a lot of difference between a poll and an election. Pleasing though the poll results are to the majority of people living in this part of Ontario, they give little cause for confidence. For one thing, there seems to be a similarity between the position of the Liberals in an upcoming election and that of Robert Stanfield and his Conservatives in the last federal election. Mr. Stanfield was out front then in the polls (though not so strongly) and it seemed all he had to do was walk home during the campaign to form the next government. Instead, the campaign fell apart and he suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the wily old federal Liberal tacticians. The provincial Conservatives are every bit as wily as the federal Liberals. Mr. Nixon, though never a winner, is suddenly thrust into the uncomfortable position of being the man to beat in an upcoming election. That means he's likely to bear the brunt of both the Tory and the N.D.P. campaigns, He'll end up defending policies he's never even had a chance to implement. He'll be under the hard glare, of press scrutiny as the self-styled judges of the urban media molders try to decide if he's fit to run the province. He'll be under pressure from some people in his own party to strike for the jugular of the weakened Davis government. He's never been at his best in such a role and it may be that the voters of the province don't want to see him acting in such a role. They may want him to be the "nice guy" he's always been. Most of us are getting tired of consumate politicians in the wake of the Watergate revelations in the U.S, Yes, cheering as the news from the polls is, it's a long time before we can say goodbye to Bill Davis and his grandoise plans to reshape Ontario into a streamlined, bureaucratic province. But at least they bring a ray of sunshine to a cold winter's day. Maple syrup time is on the way Those were the 5 years ago MARCH 4 AND 11, 1970. Former Blyth Reeve W.G. George McNall died Feb. 21 in Westminster Hospital, London. A native of Lucknow, he came to Blyth in 1929 with his wife Mae. He was Reeve of the community from 1933 to 1940 and was a long -tine member of the Public Utilities Commission, In 1960 he was recognized by the Ontario Municipal Hydro Commission for 25 years service to the P.U.C, and continued on the commission until 1967. He was chairman of the board of thp Blyth Municipal Telephone Sys'em from 1954 to 1960. He was also a member and past president of the Blyth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, a past Worshipful Master of the Blyth Masonic Lodge, a member of the Oddfellows Lodge when it operated in Blyth. He was a former member of the Blyth Aricultural Society and a charter member of the Blyth Lions Club. The local office of the Maitland Teleservices was moved from Blyth to Brussels this week, Allen Carson and Linda Tasker, Canadian champion figure skat- ers were to skate in Blyth on Friday evening.

Playing at the Lyceum theatre in Wingham were: Seven Faces of Dr. Lao starring Tony Randall, Arthur O'Connell, Barbara Eden and Noah Beery and The Misadventures of Merlin Jones, a Walt Disney movie starring Tommy Kirk and Leon Ames. The first meeting of the East Wawanosh Township Centennial History Collecting Committee was held in the arena room in int Candy,, movement IM moral Mntte Beigrave. The committee re- quested articles and stories on the history of the township. A delegation from the village of Londesboro was present at the monthly meeting of Hullett township council requesting an improvement in the present street lighting system. 20 years ago MARCH 9, 1955 A birthday party, unique because it is believed the participants are Canada's oldest living twins, was celebrated at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford McPhee near Auburn when Mrs. John McPhee, and her twin sister Miss Mattie Mcllwain of Auburn observed their 88th birthday. Members of Blyth Fire Brigade responded to a call last Thursday afternoon when a fire was discovered in a brick storage room adjoining the back of the Canadian Bank of Commerce building. The small annex was used as storage space by Stewart's grocery. The fire was quickly brought under control. Canada has redeemed herself in the world of hockey. The Penticton "V's" laid it on in great style in the final game on Sunday played against Russia. Penticton shut out the Russians 5.0 before a crowd of around 10,000 with 1500 Canadian servicemen 'rooting them on. Through the Blyth office of the C.P,R. you could book trips to Winnipeg for $38,25; Regina, $47.60; Saskatoon, $53,60 or Calgary and Edmonton, $64,30. 30 years ago MARCH 7 AND 15, 1945. A front page editorial in the March 7 issue urged voters to vote yes at a special prebiscite voting special tax concessions to the Blyth Farmers Co-operative Association. The editor pointed out that industry was badly needed in Blyth. The following days week reported the overwhelming majority voted for the question. The directors of the Blyth Farmer's Co-operative secured the services of C.E. Hodgins of Atwood as cheesemaker and manager of the Blyth Farmer's Co-operative cheese factory. The planning mill operated by the association was also in operation with Mr. A. Taylor in charge. 50 years ago MARCH 19, 1925. Kershaw's garage in Blyth was advertising tires for the spring. The tires ranged from 30 by 31/2 Royal Cord Tires at $11,00 to Fabric tires, 50 by 31/2 at $7.00. A charge of 25 cents was made for mounting the tire. "Will Girls With Bobbed Hair Get To Heaven?" was the subject of Pastor Halliday's sermon on a recent Sunday night, says the Kincardine Review. It was a splendidly delivered sermon and drew the crowd. Every available seat was occupied and many girls with bobbed hair were there to (earn their chances. They came away relieved, for although St. Paul was not partial to short - haired women, the pastor's verdict was that if the heart was right the hair did not count. Some of the girls breathed a sigh of relief -- it was a hair -breadth escape. The barbers were inter- ested too in the verdict. It meant a great deal to them. The Ferguson government must give more financial assist- ance to put hydro on Ontario farms and in this step they have the support of all. If there is one place where Ontario should direct the energies to improve condi- tions, it is the Ontario farm. Apart from the use of power to run barn machinery, the farm home must be considered. Electrical appli- ances for washing, ironing and lighting have made a great change in city homes and the rural districts should have the same advantage.

From the Minister's Study Maundy Thursday BY REV. J.F. HARDY, ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH Last week I wrote on the first day of Holy Week • Palm Sunday - when we proclaim Christ as our leader. Today I will write about the events of Maundy Thursday • the day when Christ ate the last supper with his close friends. It was on this day that Christ gathered his chosen men to cat with Him the Passover meal. By this meal the Jews recalled that God saved then from the slavery of Egypt and made a covenant with them, whereby they became God's people. So Christ celebrated this victory meal and added a new dimension when it became the sign of the new covenant. God made a new agreement, a new link with all men not just one nation. John's Gospel depicts the evening as starting off with our Lord washing the feet of his men. In the Middle East servants cleansed the dusty feet of guests so we find Jesus doing this job as an example to his followers. After following the usual Passover ritual the Lord took bread, blessed it, broke it and gave it to his disciples saying, "This is My Body". After the supper He took the cup filled with wine saying, "This is the Cup of My Blood". Christ gave them the command to do this in memory of Him. Then they sang a hymn and -went to the garden of Gethsemane. Our Lord sweat Blood in the Garden as the fear of His suffering cane upon Him. Then His friend Judas cane with the Roman Soldiers and Jesus was arrested. So on this day we find shades of joy and sadness. Catholics keep this day by attending the mass of the Lord's Supper held in the evening. This mass is celebrated as usual until after the Gospel when the priest proceeds to carry out the Gospel account and wash the feet of some of the congregation. We do this to remind us that Christians are to serve others. Later during the Eucharist, the story of the institution is proclaimed over the bread and the wine thus Christ becomes sacramentally present. Often communion is given under both forms as bread and wine. At the conclusion of the Mass the blessed Sacrament is reserved for communion on Good Friday when there will be no mass, The altar is stripped of its cloths and on this somber note we prepare for Good Friday. • 1 CHURCH OF.

WI'I'll ADRIAN VOS Where is Canada heading? Daily we read in the papers that sonic big corporations make huge profits and still want to raise their prices. We read that labour unions are asking for unreason- ably high wages. It appears to this observer that we may be heading in the same direction as Great Britain by pricing ourselves out of international markets. That unfortunate country has been balancing on the brink of bankruptcy for decades, primarily because labour struck for any reason at all. The sank seems to be happening here. Multiple labour unions in one industry slake it impossible for that industry, to have any prolonged labour peace. Even if a contract is still valid they sometimes break it anyway because some other industry negotiated a better deal, It used to be that an efficient work -force could demand more because of their efficiency. Now 'they de- mand more because their union is more efficient. Countries like West Germany, where the work- ers show more responsibility, have the lowest rate of inflation in the world, and those workers are better off for it. What really bugs me is that strikers can legally force other workers off the job as well. They are apparently legally justified not to cross a picket line maned by strikers, even if they are not intended to take on the strikers' jobs. It is a mess and it's time that we who suffer the consequences in loss of business aild in unnecessary higher prices start protesting more vigorously. Why should you and I suffer because some union boss has riled up his workers to a strike fever so he can justify his astronomical salary? Thirty ships are lying idle in Vancouver harbour, ready to be loaded with grain for needy people, just because a few hotheads refuse to weigh and grade the grain. it's outrageous that thousands of people face more threat of starvation because a few hundred overfed people want more money. When they go back to work it will be the longshoremen and after them the railway engineers and then the railway clerks. Government will do nothing until we demand action. While the snow was flying I was in the unfortunate position that l had quite a bit of travelling to do in my car. Quite frankly would have much preferred to stay home, for often the driving conditions were dangerous with heavy drifting and icy roads. All this leads ale to a salute for the rural school bus drivers. While 1 was afraid driving on the King's Highways, they bravely- defied snowdrifts on the backroads to bring 40 or 50 children safely home. My hat off to you, women and men. ***** Read in the paper that a scientist proposed huge domes to grow food year round. It would be expensive food but that's better than starving. 1 have much simpler solution: Pay the produc- er of food, the farmer, a decent return for his efforts and investments and reasonable pric- ed food will be available for everyone for a long time to come. Keep on resisting the producer a fair return and shortages will stay with us,. The brief from the Ontario Federation of Agriculture to the provincial dabinct points out that the era of mixed farming, when, if the price of one commodity was low another commodity would fill the gap, is nearing the end. All "experts" have been saying that the farmer should specialize and farmers have done just that. The net result is that the producer of a single commodity will go bankrupt if there is a prolonged price slump. On top of this comes the influence one products' price has on another. Pork was in a slump last year. Now the price of beef products is low enough to interfere with pork sales. As a result the pork price is not high enough to recover the losses from last year, If Canada and the world is to be fed, a solution to the farm income problem has to be found and not only in Canada but in the rest of the world also, If the Indian farmer is paid a decent return for his product, he will also•produce more than he used to and he too can use modern technology. The threat of grain shortages abated somewhat with the cancellation of two huge wheat export contracts from the U.S, to China. It indicates that China had a much bigger wheat crop than expected. In the meantime, a huge superfreightcr lies idle in Vancou- ver harbour, waiting for the strike to end so they can load 4.8 million bushels of wheat for Bangladesh. THE 13LYTH STANDARD, MARCH 12, 1975. PG.9. Income insurance urged for farmers In a brief to the Ontario Cabinet, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) told the ministers that it had a choice of bringing in an Act to permit OFA to insure the return on production cost for their members or face the prospect of farms closing down and import all food from outside within 10 years. Gordon Hill, OFA president, said that his organization, with 25,000 members, nearly all marketing organizations and co- operatives, represents the vast majority, of Ontario's farmers and will administer the insurance plans with the marketing organi- zations. The premium, the brief said, would be shared, with farmers paying one third and the government two thirds. Agricult- ure Minister Stewart and Premier Davis agreed that farmers can't be expected to produce below cost and stay in business. "Even a farmer who owns his land can no longer go through a bad year just by tightening his belt," Mr. 11111 said. "Specialized farming in one or two commodit- ies is so common today, that if that commodity doesn't yield the price expected at the time the crop is sown, the farmer has no others to fall back on." The brief said that the cost of production would be negotiated by the federation with the government and include all cost of production, investment and labour. It also showed the trend of declining farm land and produc- tion and predicted that if this trend continues, there will be shortages of many farts commod- ities in a span of 10 years. 11 is clearly not prudent in our day to simply assume that abundant food supplies will be available at reasonable prices. Mr. Hill said that the reception of the brief by the Cabinet was encouraging enough for the Federation to go ahead and develop more detailed proposals and costs. Trustees will lose pay for missed meetings The I3oard under the terms of the Education Act that the Chairman's Advisory Committee could deduct an amount not exceeding $300 for each month missed by a board member. The director of education, acting as secretary, will now keep a record of attendance at board meetings and committee meetings and the attendance record will be reviewed by the Advisory Committee. At the last meetine members passed a resolution th4,t c Advisory Committee would be responsible for the question of payment�'n absent board member and that thy'absence of J. Alexander since Noveniber of last year be considered an a proved leave of absence. Under the terms of the Education Act a board member must forfeit his seat if he misses three consecutive meetings without a leave of absence. However a board member (toes have the right to appeal if his salary is affected by the resolution. in other board business a delegation had attended a metric workshop in Chatham and advised the board to pursue a metric education program. Vice-chairman Herb Turkheinl said that he believes that it should be part of the board's job to educate the public on the metric system which was coming into effect faster than the public realized. A motion was carried for the advisory Board to set up a metric committee comprised of both board members and staff people. erce has the finaiithig you need.

Graham Yeats isn't looking at something on the ceiling, he's leading stretching exercises In the weekly Monday night fitness classes at Blyth Public School. The program, in its second year, attracts a large turnout weekly. It's a long way down Down, one two three. Muscles unused all week long get unlimbered In the exercise session. Interesting ceiling Not all exercises are strenuous. Here Maureen McCrea, Marg Heffron and Debbie German relieve their tensions. Fun time While exercises make up part of the evening each week, most of the evening is just for fun. Most of those attending enjoy the informal games of volleyball. CROSSWORD PUZZLE Today's Answer 6.

A man who will accept me as 1 am, let me be me -- and not try to change me into his ideal. 2. A man who will appreciate me and show an awareness of the things 1 do to please him. 3. A pian who is willing to let me alone and not insist that 1 be talkative, cheerful, and complete- ly charming when 1 feel like hell. 4. A man with whom I can laugh, cry, communicate -• about any- thing -- and depend on to keep his mouth shut about our family affairs. 5. A man who will criticize inc when 1 need it and compliment me when i have earned it. 6.

DEAR ANN .LANDERS: May 1 add my two cents' worth to your advice to "Old Fashioned" •- the woman who was concerned about topless bathing in Texas? (it seems her husband was being transferred there and she was worried about her two tccnagc sons and what such "exposure.' might do to them. I suggest that lady keep her teenage sons AND her husband away from the South Pacific. The topless bathers (all native, of course) have much better -devel- oped, healthier -looking, and more attractive mammary glands than what might be seen if the American woman went topless on the beaches and in public pools -- which, so far as 1 know, is against the law not only in Texas but everywhere in the U.S.A. As a male who has travelled the world over and seen practically everything, 1 can tell you that the average American woman's bos- om is so undernourished, flabby and unattractive that it should NEVER be exposed to public view. --An Authority DEAR THOR: You seem to think that when you've seen two in America, you've seen 'em all. I'm printing your comment, but I'm sure your letter will generate plenty of angry rebuttals, DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm worried about a sweet ' young woman who cants to work in this office a few months ago. The poor dear is fresh from a small town and so naive you wouldn't believe it. l have it on good authority that she is seeing one of the senior officers of the company -• a widower with grown children. Will I feel guilty if she marries this man and in 15 years, when she is still a sexy and attractive woman, she finds herself stuck with a doddering, arthritic old man? -•Do-Gooder By Nature DEAR GOODER: Did she ask for your advice? If not, keep your views to yourself, honey. Maybe in 15 years, he'll still be sexy and SHE will have arthritis, ***** There is a big difference between cold and cool.

BY 1111,L SMILEY Every year about this time, I turn a deep green, almost a turquoise shade, with pure, unadulterated envy. This is brought about by that fairly new occasion in school life known as "Winter Break". It is a week's holiday during March, in which the poor, ground -down students, near a state of total exhaustion from not doing their homework, skipping school, and sleeping at their desks, have a chance to recharge their batteries for the terrible, gruelling term ahead, during which they will be worn to a frazzle from not doing their homework, skipping even more school because the weather is better, and falling in love because it's spring. It's not that I have anything against winter break as such, or holidays in general. Far from it. if Blyth U.C.W. meets The United Church Women of the Blyth United Church met on March 10 with the Sunshine Unit in charge. Mrs. Howard Campbell was in charge of Devotions and gave a tribute to the late Mrs. Marion Longley who died last December 30 in Toronto in her 90th year. Mrs. Longley will be remembered by a few local residents as she grew up in the Westfield area and served with her husband on the mission field in China for many years. Mrs. Betty Nethery read the scripture lesson. Mrs. Keith Webster and Miss Hazel Petts took the topic on Citizenship dealing with our attitude to the Caribbean and told of some of the things some Canadians are doing there. Mrs. Clarence Crawford pres- ided for the business. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved and other reports given. An invitation was extended to all women of the church to join with the Evening Unit on March 20 for their Easter meeting when Miss Clare McGowan will show slides of her trip to the Holy Land. The U.C.W. Easter Thankoffer- ing will be on Sunday evening, April 20 at 7:30 p.m. when Rev. and Mrs. Arthur Dayfoot will speak and show slides on their work in Trinidad. Mrs. Crawford closed the meeting with prayer. Mrs. Gordon Caldwell and Mrs. Mollie Grant served lunch during the social period. Jeanne Pattison elected president BY CHRISTINE CHALMERS The first meeting of the Blyth 4-H club was held on March 4 at the home of Mrs. Cliff Snell. The meeting opened with the 4-H pledge. The election of officers took place as follows: Jeanne Pattison, president; Kim Watson, vice- president; and Christine Chalm- ers, press reporter. Mrs. Snell lead in the discussion, "Planning your Wardrobe". The meeting was closed with the 4•H motto. The road to travel during the March break I had my way, we'd also have a fall break and a spring break and school four days a week the rest of the time. My envy is churned up by the seemingly limitless opportunities the rotten kids have these days to see the world, something I have desired fiercely since I was about foto', and have never been able to fulfill, You should hear the young blighters, in the classrooms and the corridors. "Hi, Liz. Where y' goin' vinnerbrake? We're go'na Greece." "Hcy, great. We're there lasyear. Snot bad. Lotta statutes• nstuff, We got inna the wine. Terry puked all overtha theach." "Hey, great. But wearya goin' this year. Yer nawgunna jis stay homen get mouldy, arya?" "Helno. I'm gonna Spain. Sounds great. Bullfighters and flamencos, Hey, whatsa flamen- co? Trouble is, we got ole Droopy - Drawers anis wife for chaperones and he allus wantsa goda museums an all that." "Yeah, tough. Oh well, he'll be dead by ten o'clock anya can sneak auto the hotel and hit the vino ,joints ani bullfighters anal!," "Ya. Bikini. Hay, javnec trouble geddin bread for your trip?" "Na, Worked three weeks last summer an saved twenny bucks, before they fired me. Tole the olcman iddus discrimination caws Ise bedder lookin than the head waitress. Ile hlecved me. Then tole no Ise gonna goda Manpower an geddanolher job. He bleeved me. Tole Manpower 1 wannad a job as a go -go -girl. They diddcn havnee. So he put up the other four hunnert. He allus wannada travel himself, poor ole slob. He never even godda cross the border." "Ya. Minesa sank. He's allus tokkin bout South See Islands anthat. Antha Depression. Antha war. Drag. Putt hint on a south sea island with a coconut in one hand, a broad in the other, anna lagoon in front ofim, an he wooden know which to take a bite outa. Kinda sad. Hey, where's Tinmmynthem goin?" "Oh, they're gonna Russia. Good Ileal. They goddan extra week olTa school. Swurth the extra hundred bucks." Now, gentle reader, it's not as though our students actually talk like that. It's just that they sound as though they talk like that. And I guess you can see that the foregoing conversation re- flects quite vividly my hitter envy of these young punks who take oft for Moscow and London and Rance with about as much awe as we used to have if we were going to spend a Saturday night in the nearest big town. Aside from those who are flying to faraway, exotic places that you and 1 have only dreamed of, there are the others. Ask them what they're doing during winter break. Jint: "Oh, I'm jis gonna smash aroun in the snowmobile a fickle' and maybe hit the pubs a few nights. The snowmobile cost more than his father had saved in eight years for the first mortgage on his house. I eff: "Well, a few of us are Vilna Colorado to ski. Snot bad. ,lust three hunncrtanady bucks for a week." This is just twice what his father earned a month when .teff was born, So. Mixed with my envy is a good solid streak of rage. Rage that I was born at the wrong time, in the wrong place, in the wrong economic climate. It took the 21 years, and a lot of hard, cheap labor, and the risking of my life many times, to gel out of this country and sec some of the great cities of the world, only to find them bleak and blacked - out. I've been busting my butt ever since, raising a fancily and paying off mortgages, too busy and too broke to travel. And yet...and yet...! feel almost sorry for these kids. It's all too easy. None of them can every have the heart•thudding thrill I had when 1 first rolled into one of the great stations of London, England. And none of them can ever have the heart•thudding thrill I had as I rolled out of one of the great Berlin stations, the bombs falling happily behind me. .** GARDENr.

Lenny is a hyperactive boy, always on the go, though he has settled down a bit in his present foster home, Before Lenny came into the care of the Children's Aid Society, he had a number of moves, 'These, combined with his deprived background, have made school difficult for him. Lenny is now in Grade two, still having problems. But he likes school, is ben& fitting from remedial reading and did better last term than ever before. However, he is not expected to be a top achiever. Lenny likes skating and is especially keen on hockey. Ile learned to swim last summer. A family with other children, older or younger than Lenny by several years, will be ideal for him. Lenny would like to main- tain some contact with a younger brother who has been adopted.

They make life much easier in many ways. In our business, for instance, computers have allowed small newspapers like ours to be just as well equipped as the big city papers. Old Myrtle, our computerized typesetter has not only allowed us to improve the quality of The Standard and Village Squire, but it's also speeded up a good deal of -the work. But unfortunately, computers, like the rest of us, get sick. Myrtle seemed to catch a case of that flu that's going around or something like that last Tuesday night while in the midst of preparing last week's issue of The Standard. Most of Wednesday yours truly spent with his head buried inside the innards of the machine. You might get some idea of what I saw if you've seen the back end of a colour television set...it's some- thing like that...only three times worse. Spurred on by helpful advice from the manufacturer's service office in New York city, I rummaged around in there for six hours with only a headache to show for it. Luckily, most of the newspap- er's copy had been set before Myrtle got whatever she got. Unfortunately, most of the Myrtle let us down editorial page material, most of the classified and all of the front page material was not set. We couldn't even set a note of apology to you, the readers. in times like those, every one seems happy to pitch in and help you out of a jam. The county school board and county council news which is sent by a joint reporter for all newspapers in the county was picked up from Clinton and Goderich newspapers which kindly lent us their material after they were through with it. The result was that we got the newspaper out, though we were unable to include some of the stories and classified ads we would have liked to. Still, after hours of sweating it out against both a stubborn machine and deadlines, just getting the paper out is something of a moral victory, Anyway, Myrtle is back at work again. After help from Bill Thucll and Larry Bolger failed to solve the problems a repairman arrived Friday morning. After hours of our slugging to get the machine going, he simply put it back together and plugged it in and it worked. In no way could he get it to show the sank symptoms that had baffled us. 1t was like he had healing in his touch. But did we ever feel a little embarassed! Like having the television repairman come in only to find the plug wasn't in. We still don't know why Myrtle broke down and we don't know why she started again. Just like a woman.
