Seniors project in trouble As if fighting to keep taxes down wasn't enough of a headache, Blyth councillors discovered yet another problem at Monday night's council session, After two years of trying to get a senior citizens apartment project for the village, progress is at a standstill, or perhaps even regressing, Councillors visited the Ontario Housing Corporation offices when they attended the Good Roads Association convention in Toronto last month. They were assured that progress was being made toward obtaining the piece of property on Queen Street. Only a few hundred dollars separated the O.H,C.'s offer and :the asking price of the property owner, Since then, however, the O.H.C. suddenly cut its offer fer the property by several thousand dollars, leaving the whole project up in the air, Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh said the O.H.C. officials told council to either expropriate the property or find another site. Expropriation costs, Mr. Walsh said, would likely run the cost of the property up from the $12,500 asking price to over $20,000, and council would have to pay the extra $7,500. As to looking for another site, Mr. Walsh said, the O,H.C. has already turned down several proposed sites leaving virtually no alternatives. He stressed the asking price of the property owner was not out of hand, O.H.C. he said had had three evaluations of the property done and all stated the value was a fair one. Reeve Robbie Lawrie said he thought the O.H.C. was trying to cut back its expenses because of the deficit the government is running up. The council agreed to ask M,P.P. Beef men invited to share beefs The Huron Federation of Agriculture will hold a special meeting for beef producers in the Londesboro Hall bn Wednesday, March 26th. Doug • Fortune of Wingham, the President of the H,F,A, said that beefment have been asking the federation to do something about the . low prices they receive for their product. In this meeting the beefinen will be asked what they want the organization to do, If the cattlemen can agree on some action that should be taken, the .OFA directors will take the proposals to the monthly directors meeting in Toronto for action. Cattlemen are urged to attend so that no action will be taken with which they do not agree. Murray Gaunt to set up an appointment and to descend en masse on Toronto to try to get O.H.C. to reconsider its offer. The one ray of bright news for the council was the news that things seem to be progressing favourably toward beginn- ing of the sewer project. Council met with John Timcoe of the Ministery of the Environment while it was in Toronto and learned that the Ministry has plans drawn up for a sewerage treatment plant and has four possible sites in mind for which it will be trying to get options in the near future. The Environmental Hearing Board meet- ing could be held in April to consider the project. Mr, Timcoe said plans for a 1976 commencement of the project are still intact. A plan of the sewerage system was present for council to consider as was a questionaire for the financing of the project. The council will study both in depth at its next meeting, Zoning by-law authorized for county With the number, of municipalities in Huron county,waiting.for the'completion of their official plans, county council Tuesday authorized the preparation of a general zoning by-law to be in effect until the official plans are completed. County planning director Gary Davidson said the by-law would put into law the policies laid down in the county -wide official plan. His department will prepare the bylaw and individual municipalities will be free to adopt it as a temporary holding measure until detailed official plans and comprehen- sive zoning bylaws cover the county. He said county council has frequently debated the value of agricultural holding bylaws to protect farmland from non-farm development. The generalized zoning bylaw would be more flexible and still provide protection. "It will given municipalities that want it a form of intermediate protection until their plans can be developed," he said. Planning board chairman Jack McCutcheon, reeve of Brussels said it likely will be several years before the planning department will have completed detailed official plans for all the county's 26 municipalities, Warden Anson McKinley said the proposed general zoning bylaw system would strength the county official plan which was adopted in 1969 and which lays down policies for the protection of farmland against non-farm development. "It should strengthen the protection we thought we've had all along," the warden said. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, 1975. Council worries over rising costs, hampers own programs The thorny problems of keeping taxes down to a reasonable level and still getting something done in the village had Blyth councillors in a turmoil Monday night. The councillors were warned by Reeve Robbie Lawrie that their own ambitious plans for the village may take a beating as council tries to keep the millratc down. He reported that the county levy would mean a 9.3 mill increase and warned councillors to expect a similar increase from the school board, which, he said, hasn't even started salary negotiations with teachers. (Teachers in other areas of the province have been demanding up to 40 per cent increase in salary in one year. Teachers in London settled for a 25 per cent increase and for 29 per cent in Windsor.) Council has already bought a new truck for the village works crew and a new storm sewer through the eastern part of town will also boost the mill rate. Reeve Lawrie said council is going to be forced to cut back on its own budget or its going to be looking at a 50 mill increase. The discussion arose after council was presented with the recreation committee budget calling for a deficit of $12,400 and atter it looked at plans for a mobile park. The deficit for recreation last year was under $6,000, down from $9,000 the year before. Council had asked the recreation committee to present a budget for the coming year it included several major expenditures in the budget such as a new ice cleaning machine for the arena and a shed to housing it, totalling $7,000 and curtains for Memorial Hall auditorium estimated at $1,200. In reviewing the budget, Councillor Bill Howson got back to the old argument that the townships should be picking up more of County budget Huron County Council Tuesday approv- ed a budget that is nearly 20 per cent higher than last years. The budget for 1975 calls for total spending of $7,244,142. It will mean $2,528,000 will have to be raised among the 26 municipalities. The levy is $505,000 more than that faced by the municipalities in last year's nearly $6 -million budget. An additional $19,931 will be raised by special levies, the county's share of new assessment in all municipalities. This falls outside the normal levy structure. Provincial and federal grants, fees, rents, miscellaneous sources and a 1974 budget surplus of $132,124 will produce the remainder of the revenue. Major increases in expenditures occurr- ed in public works and highways at $2,561,000 (up from $2,129,000 in 1974), general administration at $354,925 (up from $272,360), interest rates and financial reserves at $302,700 (up from $196,160) and social services at $2,815,842 (up from $2,245,673.) The budget calls for an estimated surplus of $99,990. Huron County's municipalities will be the cost of recreation. He quoted figures that more than 50 per cent of the use of existing facilities is by non-residents. Hullett township is now giving $1,000 yearly toward recreation and East Wawanosh $500, Morris township will not contribute toward the cost of recreation. Council finally sent the budget back to the recreation committee for review, The problem of what to do with the mobile park, however, was not so easily disposed of. A property owner in the village had offered five acres of land for the site. The council, looking at soaring costs and the cost of servicing the property began to have second thoughts about the whole project. Tacked onto the cost of the land was an estimated $18,000 for installation of roads, water, lights and hydro and septic tanks for each unit. Until sewers are installed each unit would have to have two lots to allow for septic tank installation. The council could see no way of carrying out the project without causing another jump in taxes. Finally, council decided to submit a lower offer to the property owner with the idea that the purchase price could be spread over the next two years. Development however would not likely begin until next year. Council agreed that it would like to go ahead with the project except for the economic factor, It is in the embarrassing position, Reeve Lawrie admitted, of having no place for mobile homes to go in the village, since they are banned from locating on regular lots in the village. Further development, however, will depend on the economic situation and whether or not the offer is acceptable to the property owner in question. jumps 20% levied their $2,528,000 share of the budget through an apportionment formula based on a total county equalized assessment of $78,787,167. Based on the formula, the following levies will be charged (with previous year's levy in brackets), Towns: Goderich, $351,149 ($280,226); Clinton, $116,142 ($95,270); Exeter, $155,844 ($119,831); Seaforth, $82,278 ($63,427); Wingham, $139,612 ($107,957).

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 19, 1915, This 'n' That ;,.. 13 tables in play Standard needs Blyth correspondent at Blyth euchre Thanks to those of you who have taken time to comment on what they liked and didn't like in The Standard. It's been appreci- ated and we'll be glad to the remarks of other readers as well. One thing that was mentioned is something we've known for a long time is a weakness of the paper: the lack of personal -type news in the village itself, We've realized for more than three years that there is a lack of such news in the paper. Unfortunately, our present staff is often the last to know about these things. In the past we've asked several times for someone to take on the job of being a correspondent for the village in much the same ways as we have correspondents in the other villages The Standard covers. We've been unsuccessful in finding someone for the job in the past and we're still looking. If you would be interested in the position or know someone who would be, we'd like to hear from you. *** One of the sad things about this newspaper is that its records are incomplete through the long history of the paper. Some of the other weekly papers have issues dating back to 1870 but our own files are almost non-existent prior to 1930 because a previous owner apparently thought they were a bother to have around. It leaves a large gap in the history of the village, a gap that will really be noticed in the next couple of years as the village prepares for its centennial. With centennial coming up, we urge everyone to hang on to anything they might have that would help add to the knowledge of the community. Don't throw out old diaries or pictures, And make them available to those who will be doing research in the coming years on the village history, Remember that our past is an important part of our future. *** Judge F.G. Carter took a cut at the Huron county press for not covering court news more fully last week. Judge Carter said he felt publication of court news would act as a deterent to crime in the county. -He's absolutely right of course. But the reason that most papers in the county don't give wide court coverage is the same reason many court cases take a year from the time charges are laid until the case if concluded: lack of manpower. Very few of the newspapers in the county have staff large enough to cover the court proceedings in the various centres in the county where cases are heard. Besides, justice moves so slowly it would mean practically having a reporter on court business full-time, *** We don't know whether it's a first for the year or not, but at least it was the first one reported to us when Jill Cooper daughter of Mr, and Mrs. Joe Cooper of Blyth reported seeing several robins near the Cooper home on Tuesday. Everything these days points to spring. If we could just convince old man winter that it's really spring time. *** Everything, these days seems to cost more, and every time we want a new service, taxes shoot up. We heard Councillor Bill Howson come up with a good idea the other day, however, that might give us another service without costing much money. Just back from a trip to the South, Councillor Howson noted that the biggest sport in the U.S. these days in terms of particpa- tion is tennis. He suggested that perhaps tennis could be re -intro- duced in Blyth (there used to be a tennis club here years ago) without much cost by installing courts on the arena floor during the summer months. Not only would we then have tennis facilities but we'd go everyone else one better by having indoor, weather proof facilities. Maybe it can't be done, but it sure sounds like a good idea to investigate. Outdoor wiring should be safely grounded, says the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. The outdoor outlets should be weatherproof and equipped with three wired grounded connections. There were 13 tables in play at the weekly euchre party in Memorial Hall on Monday even- ing, High prizes for the evening went to Mrs. Whitfield for the ladies and to Mrs. Marks (playing as a man) for the men, The low lady was Mrs. Cunningham and the low man was Mrs. Edith Glousher, playing as a man. The lady with the most lone hands was Mrs. Myrtle Fairservice and the man with the most lone hands was Fred Porter. There will be another euchre party next week with everyone welcome. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• SEE.

Plan for Hullett Wildlife Area to be unveiled Five years after announcement of the Hullett Wildlife Arca was first matte, the master plan for the area will be unveiled Thursday afternoon, March 20, The plan will be discussed in a workshop -seminar at the Hullett Maintenance Building, Lot 8, Concession 3 at 2 p.m, The area, covering more than 5,000 acres in the area known to most residents as Hullett marsh or swamp, was supposed to have been completed within five years of its announcement in early 1970, but land -acquisition pro- blems have slowed development. The master plan sets down the objectives for the arca: I) to increase the supply of wetlands and provide additional access to waterfowl hunting: 2) to demonstrate land use practices most productive to wildlife; 3) to provide alt area where the educational experience is based upon wildlife sources: 4) to interpret wildlife values and appreciation of sante; 5) to provide other outdoor recreational experiences related to wildlife. Included in the development will be a day -use facility without camping arca. A marketing study shows that at present sonic 750,000 people live within 90 minutes thrive of the development and that this could increase to 840,00( in 1981 and 950,000 by 1991. A potential 70,000 day- users per year is possible from this population base, though the report says it is impossible to estimate how many of these would use the Hullett develop- ment evelop•innt and how many would go elsewhere, The master plan report con- tains a good deal of topographi- cal, historical, geological and geomorphological information but also includes details of what the finished development will look like, The plan calls for a large main dam on the northern edge of the development on Concession 6.7 (Kinburn Road) which will retain water for a marsh -style environ- ment. A series of dykes will help create a water habitat of 2 fret or less, It will be possible to drain some of these sections to facilitate planting of food crops and control aquatic vegitation. The main administrative and visitor arca will be in the northwest corner. Near the main darn in this area will be an attractive visitor services -inter- pretive building incorporating and observation lounge for viewing the stain nearby water pond, The day -use camping arca will have 40 picnic sites with parking nearby. Walking and nature trails will lead from this arca 10 both north and south. By using these trails and walkways along the tops of the dykes it will be possible to explore all parts of the wildlife arca. In the visitor services -inter - prelim building there will be displays, information, audio- visual programmes and staff available to answer questions for all visitors. The wildlife area's main entrance will be on the western perimeter road where control of hunters and direction of other day -use visitors will be handled, The area will also have boat -lunch facilities for administrative personal, hunters, naturalists. Besides the train picnic arca there will be a walk-in picnic arca with 20 sites north-east of the dant oft' Concession 6-7 (Kinburn road). A walking trail will lead to a nearby archeological site. Because of the low watcrlevcl, conditions are poor for the possible life of most game fish with the possible exception of large mouth bass. Much of the timber will die in the flooding but other trees that die because of the flooding will' provide improved nesting conditions by providing cover for duck nests, An attempt will be made to keep timber alive in the heronry, located toward the north-east Dart of the develop- ment. An arca of the development will be declared as a refuge where wildlife will be completely free of molestation, although this arca may shift within the development when wildlife patterns are esta- blished or if these patterns change. There will be two hunting districts: a controlled shooting district where the number of hunters is restricted and where hunting locations are firstly dictated: and a free hunting zone on the periphery of the marsh. Limited use of canoes and rowboats will be allowed on the deepest portion of the pond, A small pool will be developed for the training of hunting dogs and ,he holding of field trials, 1'his will be along the southern border of the area. The present goose pond and enclosure will be retained at the southern edge of the arca. A viewing platform presently exists outside the enclosure.

THE RLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 19 1975. Where are we going? Blyth has a planning board, in name only. Blyth has an industrial committee, in name only. It's more than three years since these committees were named. In those three years there have been Tess than three meetings. The reasoning for this inaction has been that the planning board is waiting for the county planning department to get around to doing the work for the official plan l'or the village. The industrial committee has been inactive ostensibly because it can't really go out and get industry until the sewers are installed and the official plan is made. Hogwash. There is no reason why the planning board can't begin the preliminary work toward an official plan. Surely the planning board could be working with the county planning department to get some of the preliminary work done. Surely they can at least be thinking about what should go where and just what we want the village to become in the future. With sewers soon (hopefully) to be installed, surely it would make good sense to at least have a rough idea where we would like to see industrial growth or apartment development so that sewer lines of the proper size can be installed. The industrial committee should be active right now. Industrial planners say it takes five years for an industrial promotion plan for a town to bear fruit. Surely in five years we'll have our sewers. Let's get off our duffs. Are we going to sit around for the rest of our lives and wait for things to happen, or are we going to take an active part in making this town what we'd like it to be? The choice is ours to make. Reaping what they sowed Premier Davis was trying to explain away the results of the recent polls which showed his government steadily dropping back of the Liberals in popularity in Ontario. Much of the reason, he pointed out, was that people didn't differentiate between federal problems and provincial ones. He pointed out that people were unhappy because of inflation and growing unemployment and so took it out on his government. There is a ring of truth to his explanation. People do tend to lump all government into one big group, Certainly any blame for unemployment must rest more on the shoulders of the Federal Liberals than the provincial Tories (lord knows Davis has done his best to combat unemployment by hiring everyone to work for the government). There is a hollow ring to the demands of the Opposition parties that Davis do something about growing economic problems in Ontario since there are limitations on how much a provincial government can effect the economy. But if Mr. Davis seems to be being unfairly shafted, let's remember that it was he and his party that made the shaft. The Conservatives had built their lengthy dynasty over 30 years on the myth that they were the party that led to the prosperity of the province. It was a big put on, of course, because the prosperity of Ontario depended on the luck of our geography being near major markets in the United States and Canada and on the luck of having major resources of minerals, agricultural land, timber, and enough oil and gas to give us a headstart on the rest of the country. It would have been virtually impossible for Ontario not to have been prosperous. Yes, Mr, Davis, if you take credit for the good times, you've got to be willing to take the blame for the bad too. Live by the lie; die by the lie. It all comes down to us Former auditor general of Canada Maxwell Henderson was at the throat of the federal government again recently in a speach to the Women's Canadian Club in Toronto. Mr. Henderson blamed the federal government for much of the inflation in the nation today. He pointed out that federal government spending has increased by 500 percent in the last 10 years, that works out to 50 percent per year. Mr. Henderson points to the increasing bureaucracy, to the duplication of civil service jobs in Ottawa and the provincial capitals, to the big pay increases to civil servants and to the large staff the Prime Minister has built up around him. But really, Mr. Henderson, let's not just look for the easy scapegoat. Let's lay the blame right where it belongs, uncomfortable as the fact may be. The blame is on you Mr. Henderson, and on the politicians and on every one of us citizens who think we can milk the country forever without giving anything back. Certainly the large staff around the Prime Minister is something that we can not only do without, but would be better off without. Certainly some politicians have sought to make themselves feel more powerful by building a bureaucratic empire around them. But the blame for the present situation must be shared by nearly everyone of the 22 million people who inhabit this country. The blame can be laid to one fact: greed. Every Canadian seems to have the feeling that he should be able to get a bigger piece of the national ,pie than the guy next to him. But the pie is only so big. This -greed is evident from the top of the nation to the bottom, from those who are supposed to be the most respected people in society, to the ordinary rabble. We can jump on the unions for their greed, but what about Members of Parliament who see nothing wrong with a 50 percent increase in salaries in these troubled times? What about our school board trustees who can justify a 100 percent increase? What about our teachers, the people who are supposed to be setting an example for the generation of tomorrow and their demands for an up to 40 percent increase in a single year? Canada, we have been told, is in the fortunate position because inflation and recession wouldn't hit us so hard as other countries. But that was before the country went off its nut with these ridiculous salary demands which are nearly double what is being asked in the U.S. Despite all our advantages, we're driving ourselves to crisis that will make the problems in the U.S. look like peanuts. The only bright light is that this current insanity may eventually bring sanity back to the country. Just as it took the energy crisis to convince us of the folly of building huge automobiles which usually travel with only one person in them, so perhaps casting ourselves into an economic catastrophe in which we're faced with both unemployment and inflation we'll straighten the mess we've been getting ourselves in for the past 30 y !ars. At l east it sone nice thing t o dream about as the country floats down the river toward disaster. "I've done it! A car that runs on something other than gui Quick!

Interest to most members was seven percent but those with more than $2,000 in deposits in $100 lots could earn eight percent. 10 years ago MARCH 24, 1965 Damage estimated at $6,000 by inspectors of the Canadian Pacific Railroad resulted from a fire at the residence of the C.P.R. station on Friday night. The editor related a story attached to the fire. "At the height of the fire, when it appeared quite possible that the entire building could burst into flames at any minute, and the fire fighters were battling with every ounce of their energy, the telephone began ringing. After a considerable period of persistent ringing, an exciting fireman. answered the call. It was from an unidentified lady, and the conver- sation went something like this: "Fireman: 'Hello'. "Unidentified lady: 'Hello' ... long pause ... 'they tell me you have a little fire down there.' "Fireman: 'We sure as hell have! GOODBYE.' " Another fire took place at the farm of Roland Marks on the fifth concession of Morris. The editor editorialized on the sad situation whereby the cattle emerging from the blazing barn had to be left to die in agony because if they were shot. they would not be covered by insurance. He suggested a change in the policy of the insurance companies and said that if the people who made such decisions had been at the fire, they too would agree to the change. Winds reported at 60 miles per hour damaged the roof of the Arcade store in the village, A large portion of the tarpaper covering was torn off the roof and water from the rain and melting snow caused a good deal of damage. Mrs. Tom Smith received a big thrill when she received a letter from Lady Winston Churchill. Mrs. Taylor had written a letter of sympathy to Lady Churchill following the death of Sir Winston and received a short note of thanks. The annual meeting of the Belgrave Co-operative Associa- tion showed savings for the year had decreased from the year before from $10,376 to $2,386, due mostly to a decline in feed sales. 20 years ago MARCH 16, 1955 W. T. Cruickshank announced that radio station CKNX in Wingham had applied to Ottawa for permission to install and operate a television station. Formal hearings were set for April for the proposed station which would serve the major portions of Huron, Bruce, Perth, Grey and Wellington counties. For the first time, residents of Blyth could be assured a strong television signal. The Fireside -Farm Forum met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Riley to discuss the topic "Can the farmer compete in the labour market?" The group agreed that with labour demanding high wages, short hours and privi- leges, the farmer couldn't afford to hire help. The 40 hour week, they agreed, wasn't for farmers and their families, At the Hullett township council meeting, council approved a $15 donation to the Hullett Music Festival. The total salary bills for the township for the past month was $532.25. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bainton left from Mallon airport for a month's trip to Montevideo, Uruguay; Buenos Aires, Argen- tina and Port of Spain, Trinidad. 30 years ago MARCH 21, 1945 Many things have changed in 30 years, but sonic haven't. In a letter home, former Blyth resi- dent Sam Thuell, a sergeant in stationed at Trenton airport remarked on how lively Blyth Seemed to be and that he hoped to make his living here after the war. Referring to the interest in forming both a Lions Club and a Kinsmen Club in the village he hoped that a swimming pool might be built in the village for the local youngsters. "It would cost a considerable bit of money but I know old Blyth could do it if everyone pulled together," He also expressed hopes that plans would go ahead for an arena. Well, one out of two isn't bad. George Cowan of Londesboro was named Clerk -Treasurer of Hullett township filling the vacancy when James W. McCool left, —WrIghI, Mimi News days There was a good turnout at the meeting of the Kincardine Kins- men club held in Blyth. The dinner portion of the meeting was sponsored by the Blyth business- men. Following the meeting a meeting of Blyth men was held and a decision was made to start a Lions rather than Kinsmen club, The quota for the current Red Cross drive locally was oversub- scribed. The quota was $900 and $947 had been collected with several rural areas still to be heard from. 50 years ago MARCH 26, 1925 Does this sound familiar? "To mill our own flour, convert our pulpwood into paper and in other ways turn our own materials into finished products is a true all -Canadian policy. It is not business to sell to the United States that material which would give employment here to many thousands of people." Those taking Blyth Continua- tion School examinations for third forum (we won't reveal the marks to protect those who wanted to forget anyway) were: Melda McElroy, Alexander Elliott, Loretta Healy, David Craig, Janetter Popplestone, Ruth Vincent, Alice Rogerson, Annie Garrett, Harold Jenkins, Stewart Young, Janet Cowan, Dorothy Bryant, Florence Slater, Will Pollard, Fergus Kelly, Norman Floody, Hazel Petts, Ida McGowan, Harry Baker and John Fraer. "The varied program present- ed in the Memorial Hall on the evening of St. Patrick's Day was a decided success viewed from any standpoint." The program includ- ed what seems to have been a cast of thousands. Among those taking part were: Mrs. C. Fingland singing "A little Bit of Heaven; a double mixed quartet of Mesdames Herrington, McElroy, Hawkins and Miss Mary Cole and Messrs., Somers, Hilborn, Floody and Watt; a short dialogue between the Wallace brothers, Irvin and Robert; a romance featuring Mrs. Cole (nee Sara Milne) and Rev. G. Telford portrayed a Scottish romance in its best phase; a recitation in Irish Brogue by Melda McElroy; a Socttish reading by Miss Katie Laidlaw; and illustrated song with Miss Alice Rogerson as soloist. Voting was done by a panel of judges as to whether the Irish or the Scottish side presented the better show with the Scottish side winning by less than a percentage point. `standard KEITH & JILL ROULSTON, Co-Pubilshers Published every Wednesday at Queen St., Blyth, Ont.

In the Speech from the Throne, opening a new session of the Legislature this week, the Ontario Government promised to appoint an ombudsman to protect citizens from arbitrary decisions by the provincial bureaucracy. The Government also promised increased aid for the elderly and for those trying to buy homes, The Speech also said it would "seek the co-operation o1' law enforcement agencies to curb rising crime, so that our cities and . streets will remain the safest and most secure in North America." Most of the speech, read by Lieutenant Governor Pauline McGibbon, dealth with the tough economic times the government expects in the near future. Other than the appointment of an ombudsman, there were few details of the Government's plan for the Session which is expected to be the last before an election. Measures to provide Ontario farmers with reasonable assur- ance of maintaining a profitable and vital enterprise were promis- ed, although there were no specifics spelled out. Environment Minister, Mr. William Newman this week gave the Ontario soft drink industry 12 months to start using more refillable pop containers or face legislation because throwaway pop cans and bottles. are environmentally damaging. He said they cause more energy consumption, more litter and more garbage. The Minister demanded that retailers offer in reusable bottles all sizes and brands they stock. He also asked for a price structure to reflect the desira- bility of refillable bottles such as a higher price for throwaways, convenient return system for refillables and promotion of refillables by the industry itself. Aruthur Porter, Chairman, of the Canadian Environmental Advisory Council, and a Professor of Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto was named this week to head a special Royal Commission into the long range planning for Ontario's power needs. The Commission, which antici- pates two years of public hearings across the Province, will empha- size public participation in plann- ing the expansion of Ontario Hydro for 1983-93, By 1983, if Hydro's plans go ahead as proposed, the assets of the Crown Corporation would increase from their value in. 1972 of about $5.5 billion to more than $30 billion. Mr. Grossman said the conse- Wildlife CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 targe water area will be used for varying purposes. The northwest arca will be used primarily for visitors and planting will be for 'aesthetic, display and interpreta- tion purposes. Existing timber areas will be. retained and good timber management practises will be demonstrated. The north and east section will be used for production of cereal grains with the present large fields being broken up into smaller fields by fencerows and plantings of shrubs and trees. Much the same practice will be carried out in the central south area with selected areas being planted in 5-10 acre plots of trees and shrubs. The southwest area will be managed to obtain a mix 'of shrubs, evergreens and hard- woods and 25.30 -acre clearings. Lot 21, concession 4 will be developed as a demonstration area for wildlife cover and food plants. Lot 13 concession 2 is to be used as an outdoor education "classroom" by the Huron County Board of Education and 25 acres of this property will be developed as a liectar orchard to stimulate honey production. queues of these policy decisions are so far reaching and so directly affect the lives of Ontario citizens that we cannot make them hastily or arbitrarily. The hearings will consider all aspects of Ontario's power needs including the impact on urban planning, agricultural land, the industrial sector and consumer prices. Celebrate 25th anniversary The family of Mr. and Mrs. George Haggitt entertained their parents on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary. The family also entertained grand- parents, Mr, and Mrs. Gordon McClinchey at the dinner at the Twin Gables, Listowel. The evening was spent with fancily and friends at Parkview Gardens. Then back to the home of Mr. and Mrs, .lames Blake where a smorgasbord luncheon was served. Many gifts and best wishes were received. Till: BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 19, 1975. PG. 5.

JENE MILLER There just docs not seem to be any way that legislators can win, The whole sordid mess of Agnew and Watergate in the United States were blamed on the congressmen for not fulfilling their balance -of -power responsi- bilities in watching over the executive branch. Blackmail, bribery, corruption of trust, and invasion of riglits were all laid finally at the door of the legislators who had to confront the malfeasance of the Executive Branch of Government. Now the cry is that Congress is not acceding to the Executive Branch, The President is claiming that the Congress is amiss in not approving his proposals for the nation's crises.

The situation is ideally suited to prepare Americans for the com- ing of their 200th Anniversary. The cost of a Democracy is measured more in its inefficiency than anywhere cisc. Committees have to meet. Studies have to be made, Electorates have to be persuaded. Then, and only then, can the elected officials put their lives on the line and adopt some kind of program which will provide more benefits, cost less in taxes, control business and labor and not impair anyone's unlimited freedom, On the other hand, if the Executive Branch does not propose some kind of direct action, the congress can always sit back and let the next election give them a new scapegoat to blame for "lack of leadership". The real danger to the democratic governments is not that there will be no magical answer to the present crises. The real danger is that the electorate will grow impatient with the democratic process and vote too much power into one part of the government. The price of freedom is high -- and yet it is never so high as the cost of not having it. unday, March 23 8:00 p.T. \ Hurin\Men'sChael p� AUBURN SPECIAL SPEAKER Dr. Charles Seidenspinner Dr. Cha Jas Seidenspinner studied at Wheaton College, Gar- rett Seminar and t/,e Universit r of Chattanooga.

SPECIAL MUSIC Everyone Welcome Evil Prevails When Good Men Do Nothing THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 19, 1975. PG. 7. From the Minister's Study Good Friday BY REV. J.F. HARDY, ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH This week I will describe the events of Good Friday and how we observe this clay. It's strange isn't it that Christians call this day "Good" yet despite the terrible events that occurred it turned out to be a good day for us. Christ after being arrested was taken to various officials • the high priests; the jewish court; the Roman Govenor, and King Herod. Before the Jewish officials he was charged with ch►iming to be God (or blasphemy) while Pilate was told Jesus wanted to overthrow the Roman Empire and be king. To keep the mob happy Christ was sentenced to death. Earlier Jesus had been wipped with the hope that the people would be placated. But the sight of the bleeding man only caused them to cry out louder -"Crucify him" "Crucify him". So Christ carried His cross (as was the custom) to the hill at the city gates where He was executed along with two bandits. Crucifixion was a common form of killing criminals and the Romans were real pro's at it. On the cross the victims body was racked with cramps and eventually the person died of suffocation. Some lasted for days but Jesus because of earlier mistreatment died after three hours. The Roman's verified His death by sticking a lance in His side. Then He was taken down from the cross and buried, in a nearby cave before the passover started. On Good Friday, we catholics do not celebrate the Eucharist. Instead we have a very ancient service of readings and prayers. Once again we proclaim the Lord's sufferings and death this time according to John's gospel. As on Palm Sunday the various parts are read by both priest and people. We then pray for all of mankind, being mindful that Christ died for all, The cross is brought into the church and the people venerate it, for by the cross Christ redeemed us. The service ends with the distribution of Holy Communion from particles consecrated at the Holy Thursday Mass. Thus we are reminded that Christ is risen and His death was ultimately a victory. So now we look forward, to the completion of Good Friday with Christ's glorification at Easter, CHURCH OF GOD McConnel Street, Blyth CHURCH SERVICE: 11 a.nr. I THE ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA REV.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 19, 1.975. BY BILL SMILEY This is the time of year that everybody wishes somebody would do something about, but nobody does, The Ides of March. Some people think the Ides are little creatures like leprechauns who bore holes in your rubbers and whisper into tots' cars that that I 8 -inch puddle won't go over the tops of their six-inch rubber boots. Others, like my wife, think they are malevolent beings who enjoy scaring the liver out of you. The other night, there was a great rumble, a crash, and all the lights went out, 1 thought it was maybe the second coming. She leaped a foot. "It's the Ides of March." she screamed. As a matter of fact, it was the ice off the roof, which tore away the main cable into the house. But it could just as well have been the Ides. Around the first of March, we decided we'd start cross-country skiing. Bought two sets of skis, boots, the works. It rained for the next week. That was the Ides. It's been going on for at least 2,000 years. Its first victim of any import was Julius Caesar. Now, Big Julie was no slouch as an emperor. He had, in his day, a bigger empire than Queen Victoria had, although he wasn't as fat. He had a ,penchant for over -running and over -hearing. He over -ran the Spaniards, the French, the Germans, the British and the Belgians, not to mention the Slobs, in the east. And he overheard. It was his custom to prowl among the campfires at night, and listen to his disgruntled veterans. He didn't bother much with the gruntled veterans. He did it, of course, incognito. He wore a kilt, extra -long, to cover his pot and his knees. On his head, to mask his baldness, he wore a German helmet, captured in the epic battle of Scheissin• kellar. His chest was disguised g by a chest -disguiser, captured from an Amazon chieftainess who had joined Women's Lib and decided to go braless. (it is tempting for the dedicated historian to digress here, but 1 will make only two concise points. One, the kilt was stripped from a Scot who had strayed south to found the Bank of England had been conscripted into the army of the Ancient Britons and had died gallantly, shouting "Usquebaugh and Andrew Carnegie!" The helmet had been torn from a dead squarehead and was rather uncomfortable until Julius dis- covered that the cow's horn on the front unscrewed, was hollow, and contained 13 ounces of schnapps. From that time on, he found it comfortable, Of the Amazon breastworks, 1 will say nothing. There's enough sex and violence in history, without dwelling on it. Besides it is, or was, pointless.) At any rate, strolling anony- mously ("Oh! Oh!, here comes Himself!") he over -heard the rumblings of discontent among his troops. It was rather difficult to distinguish them from the other rumblings associated with the rude and licentious soldiery, but he had a Trained Ear as well as a Roman Nose. He and his legions had just put down the seventh uprising by some Belgian tribe. One grizzled veteran was heard to say: "Belgians, Belgians! I'm sick of looting Belgian towns. MI they got is gloves and tapestries. My old Trouble 'n Strife back 'ome 'as 32 pairs of kid gloves an' enough tapestries to make a shawl for the Sphinx." Another veteran, equally grizzled, agreed. "Me too. And The Ides are upon us them Belgian broads; I swear they got fetlocks, In another 1,500 years, they'll be callin' 'cm Percherons." A third veteran legionary, even more grizzled than the other two, concurred. "Right. An howabout that there Belgian beer. So watery ya gotta drink it in the latrine or yer caught short. I'd give my eye tooth to get 0 whack at S me Limeys or Frogs or Krauts fer a change. Wooden even mine goin' backta Iddaly and wipin' up somma them Wops vc're workin' for,'' (lt might be noted, in the interests of historical accuracy, that the third Icgionairc, like so many of them, was not an ancient Roman. He was an Old Pole, who had been conscripted after he had been shot out from under his horse during an attack on Wvabldnschvtz.) Anyway, overhearing his grizzled, grizzling veterans, Caesar decided to act. He made a speech to his legions that had them in tears. This was after a double rum ration. Then he put down the Belgians for the eighth time, and to make his intentions clear, cut off the right hand of each male Belgian .This was the origin of the phrase "putting me down" and also the reason you see so many left-handed Belgians. Perhaps we've strayed a bit. Very well, back to the ides of March. One day, early in March, back in '16 (or was it '17?) B.C., Julius was on his way to the Colosseum to make sure every- thing was in order for the Games. He had already checked with Zeus and Mayor Drapeau, but you never know, do you? He was in his chariot, with his wife, California. She was attend- ed by her maid, Florida, and on the runningboard were three old fiends of Caesar: Cassius, Nausious and Brutus. Suddenly, a stentorian voice rang out, as stentorian voices do, Some ring out like a great, bronze bell, Others just ring out a sort of ding•a•iing. This was a bearded, ding -a -ling type senator, "Beware the Ides of March!" he trilled. Unfortunately, Caesar was deaf in one ear, He thought the sooth-saver (that's what they called the ding -a -ling in those days), was 0 soap salesman with a new jingle, something about washing with 'fide and starch. Naturally, he waved hint away, muttering something about California using nothing but arctic power. Some days later, right to the day, the ides of March arrived. Well, you know the rest. Big Julie, was assasinated, His friend Cassius crowned him with a cassock, his pal Nausious breathed garlic in his face, and his beloved Brutus stabbed him in the rotunda. You might say that 1.aesar came out of that one a heavy loser. He went in at 154 pounds and came out with 16 daggers in him. So all I can suggest is that you keep an eye out for those Ides. 3 bowling teams tied for the top place A sparkling single and triple 'ihree teams arc tied at the top score were recorded by Joyce of the team standings. Della's Feltz in the Clinton Blyth Ladies Slaves, Crown Jeweils and Daffy Bowling League last week. Dolls all have 63 points. Evil Knievels are close behind with 61 points followed by Pin Pickers 58; Try !lards, 55; Striking Streakers, 54 and Hoggies Hippies, 51. Joyce scored a 331 single and ran up a 743 triple. The best average, as usual, went to Mary Davey with 215. 4 Hullett's happenings Students enjoy skating before holidays Skating was enjoyed by the pupils of I lullett Central 00 the afternoon of March 14, the last day of school before the Winter Break. The pupils travelled by bus to the Clinton arena right after lunch. Skates were laced tightly and one and a half hours of fun and exercise followed, The skaters were taken home from the arena on their regular busts an hour earlier than usual. A SWINGING GOOD TIME The doors opened at 8:00 p.ni. 00 March 13 for the Hullett Central grades 7 and 8 dance which was postponed from February, Elimination and spot dances were a part of the fun, Top acid chips were sold for refreshments. The dancing con• (blued until 11:00 p.m. Everyone who attended, enjoyed this event! REPORT CARDS Many pupils waited anxiously for March II to arrive. The second term report card was handed out to each student. After the pupils observed the results of the report cards with their parents, the envelopes were signed and returned to the school.

Getting the best for your ground -meat dollar To conform to regulations set by the Food and Drug Director- ate, the fat level in regular ground beef should not exceed 30 percent, If a package of ground beef has the word "lean" on it, then the fat level should not exceed 15 percent, Legally, whether ground beef be called ground round, ground chuck or hamburger, it can contain up to 30 percent fat, unless the word "lean" appears also. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food advise consumers to choose what they buy according to taste perference and price, not because "lean" is Belgrave Peewees sweep semi-finals The Belgrave Pec -Woes won back to back victories last Wednesday and Thursday night to take the best two out of three series.

Belgrave plays at Goderich in the Young Canada Tournament on Wednesday, March 19 at 11:40 against Bath which is near Kingston. necessarily a better buy in lean meat. Hamburger makes terrific patties, since the loosely com- bined lean and fat allow the patties to be juicy and not too firm in texture. The leaner ground beef is better for making meat loaves since they need to hold their shape, It is also good for making casseroles, as it will not drain too great a quantity of fat, When comparing the cost of "lean" ground meat, (15 percent fat) to hamburger, (30 percent fat), assume that the "lean is 85 percent lean and the hamburger 70 percent lean. If the "lean" ground beef costs $1,24 per pound, then it contains ,85 pounds of lean for a lean cost of ($1.24/,85) $1.45. On the other hand, if hamburger costs 58c a pound, it then contains .70 pounds of lean for a lean cost of (,58/.70) - $0.79. The choice is yours.

"I'm Proud of Auburn, a village where you can depend on your neighbours and friends. "Auburn is a small village with about 200 people. It is a gateway for tourists, located 12 miles from Goderich, a summer resort on Lake Huron. You can take your vacation right here. Auburn is located on the Maitland River. You can go boating for pleasure, go fishing for rainbow trout or pike - go hunting for deer in season. Whether you come for a visit or to live here you will never forget a friend is more precious than money or possessions. Without a village like Auburn, life would be like a garden without a rose."

Since there is a good supply of ground beef featured at attractive prices in supermarkets these days, food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food advise you to "clothe" the meat for zero and below zero weather. The wrapping on fresh meat is to protect it against over -hand- ling. This type of wrapping lets the fresh meat "breathe". It is unsuited to long-term freezing in very cold and dry air. Freezer air would pull moisture from that package and leave you with a dry, tasteless and tough product -- a waste of money. You should wrap meat in materials which will not allow the transfer of air or moisture. You probably have at least one of these on hand -- heavy-duty aluminum foil, freezer plastic bags, (the ones without the scams), or double -sided lamin- ated freezer paper. Waxed paper is not a freezer paper, although it has its use in the refrigerator. The clear bags you buy bread or produce in are not suitable either. These bags have'seams, and are designed simply for holding foods. When you select the proper wrap, press the material tightly against the meat to force as much air as possible out of the package. Tape or tie the package securely. Label, date, then set in the freezer, •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• - :N tice of Application. • • - • • • • • • • • • • - • • • • • • • - • - • • • By he Corporation of the • • o Dispense with a Vote • TAKE OTICE THAT: • 1:.

Londesboro Locker Service recently came under the ownership of Elwood and Audrey Mitchell after being run for many years by Cliff Saundercock. New owner of Londesboro Locker is also a butcher For grocery shoppers in Londesboro and surrounding Hullett Township, the conveni- ence of a grocery store and butcher shope is a luxury that few small villages and hamlets enjoy anymore, But the residents of Londes- boro have both, as the Londes- boro Locker Service offers not only both a well -stocked grocery store, a butcher shope where a shopper can get a cut of meat to suit her taste and pocket book, but also an egg grading station and a locker service. This convenience has been made possible by Elwood and Audrey Mitchell, who purchased the Londesboro Locker Service from Cliff Saundercock on Febru- ary 1, and have continued the good name of the business established by M. Saundercock. In addition, Elwood Mitchell is a qualified butcher, and is offering his services as a custom butcher to area residents in addition to offering a full line of groceries to compliment his locker service and egg grading station. Before buying the Londesboro store, Mr. Mitchell was a meat inspector with the province for five years at Dunnville. The Mitchells and their two childre, Traci, 12, and Mark, 11, arc looking forward to many years of friendly transactions with the local citizens, and most customers will be quick to agree the Mitchells offer nearly all the best things of a big supermarket, but have added the often overlooked personal service angle. Besides the regular line of can goods and groceries, the Londes- boro Locker Service will offer fresh fruits and vegetables, customs: butchering and freshly graded eggs, something few town supermarkets can offer. The store Pensioners could lose out A Targe number of old pensioners in Ontario will not be getting proper Guaranteed Income Supplement cheques •- some none at all •- if they don't get their applications in by the March 31 deadline, according to Health and Welfare Canada officials in Toronto. W. Wright, Regional Director for Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement in Ontario said today that some 92,000 possible eligible appli- cants have yet to file applications. "So far we have heard from nearly 250,000 people," Mr. Wright said, There are about 92,000 who are eligible but have yet to file applications." According to Mr. Wright, the G.i.S. program requires annual re-application by recipients be- cause of the possible change in income. Recipients whose income has dropped will receive larger G.I.S. payments while recipients whose income has increased will receive a reduced rate, Mr. Wright pointed out. is also an outlet for Buchanan Dry 21, and 22 they are holding an Cleaners of Mount Forest, open house at their store in Mr, and Mrs. Mitchell are Londesboro, with the free coffee hoping to become better for all visitors, suckers for the acquainted with the people in the kiddies. As well, they are offering arca, and so this Thursday. a host of in store specials for all Friday, and Saturday, March 20, shoppers. New from Huronview Representatives of the Chris- tian Women's Club, Mr. and Mrs. Luther Hensall, provided an Easter Song Service in the Chapel on Sunday evening. Students of the Huron Centen- nial School presented their spring program entitled "Up Canada" on Monday afternoon, Two hundred and thirty Grade 3-4-5 pupils took part in the program with songs, scenery and costumes representing each of the pro- vinces. Mr. Mothers, Principal of the School, was M.C, with Mrs. Le Beau directing the musical numbers and the choir of 60 voices. Stage directors for the performance were Mrs. Alcxan• cler, Miss Bennewies, Mrs. Hunter-Duvar, Miss Basarro, Mrs, Stewart, Mrs. Carter, Mr. Brand, Mr. Walker, Mr. Straw, Mr. Litz, Mrs. Jane MacGregor, who is a great grand mother of one of the students thanked the entertainers on behalf of the residents for the afternoon's program which everyone enjoyed very much. The Over 90 Club met 011 Wednesday afternoon with 22 members present. A guest of the club for the afternoon, Mrs, Elsie Henderson, Played several piano selections and accompanied Walter Kingswell with mouth organ numbers. Mrs, Lamb and Mrs. McGratton each gave a reading and the Walkerburn Club and Mrs. Kay Hanly who were volunteers for the afternoon led a sing song. Tea and cookies were served in the first floor dining room provided by the kitchen staff. An evening of Irish dancing and music was the theme for "Family Night". The program was arranged by Mrs. Lysle Storey of Scaforth with Eugene Bradley as M.C. for the evening. 'faking part in the program were the McQuaid Family of Scaforth, the Bradley Family of Clinton, two groups of step dancers from Mitchell the "Whinsome Four" and the "Trio Steppers." Nelson Howe of Staffa and Mrs. Henderson played the accompani- ment and Mrs. Leybourne, who has the honour of being the only resident who was born in Ireland, expressed the appreciation of the residents and guests for the evenings entertainment. We would like to meet you! Elwood and Audrey Mitchell have taken over the Lon- desboro Locker Service formerly operated by Cliff Saun- drock. Besides stocking a full line of groceries, cooked and cured meat as well as fruits and vegetables, Elwood specializes in the custom cutting and wrapping of fresh meats. Elwood is an experienced butcher and spent 5 years as a Provincial meat inspector, so he is well qualified to give you the kind of butcher service you appreciate. Audrey and Elwood operated a grocery store for 3 years in Bayfield before coming to Londesboro. As part of the business they operate a licensed egg grading station, so they can supply you with the freshest eggs at the best possible price, both retail and wholesale. Cold storage locker rentals are available and they will custom cut and fast freeze the meat for your home freezer. Another handy service for those who shop at the Londesboro Locker Service regularly is,the ' dry cleaning depot pick-up provided by Buchanan Cleaners of Mount Forest. So now the weather is beginning to make a little drive a real pleasure, why not try their friendly service. Their prices will make it worth your while. FEATURES FOR THURS. — FRI. & SAT.

His American counterpart has been saying the stone thing. Some farmers haven't forgot- ten lessons from the past when overproduction caused prices to slump to such an extent that the farmer was stuck with a loss for every bushel he grew. This result- ed in cheap food for the Canadian consumer and the consumer in the buying countries, while the countries that needed the feed still went hungry because they couldn't evey pay for the transportation of the grain, let alone the grain itself. Nothing has changed. Food aid is given in dollars, not in bushels, so with inflation the poor get less. One bumpercrop in North American and we will have trouble storing the wheat while the Indians and residents of Bangla Desh still starve. Everyone agrees that a buffer of grain should be created but nobody is willing to pay for it. As a result the North American farmer will have to pay for the storage and at the same time his storage will be used against him to depress his price, 'And if there is a market, the docks will be idle for two months every year because of strikes, not to mention the slow work actions in between. The western long- shoremen want an increase in annual wages from $17,200 to $22,000 by the end of 1976. And this for mainly unskilled labourer work. How long are we going to stand for this? Because it is, in my view, an essential industry to feed the world, strikes should be banned and any unlawful) strike prose- cuted, with the army moving in if necessary to keep the grain moving. No skills needed except for maintenance, Most sit on their backside watching the augers and suction -hoses anyway. Take action to poorly filled c The appearance of poorly filled cobs increased drastically in the 1974 season. Finding out how to preve,it the same thing from happening in 1975 "depends entirely on pinning down the cause," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food soils and crops specialist, H. C. Wright. A shortage of any of the vital nutrients -- nitrogen, phosphorus, potash -- will affect the filling out of the ear, but determining which nutrient is short is difficult. "If a farmer can remember what the plant leaves lookedlike in September; this, together with the shape of the ear, makes the problem easier to pinpoint," says Mr. Wright. "However, a far better idea is to talk to the local agricultural representative or soils and crops specialist, outlin- ing field practices and the results of any recent soil, tests." If there's a suspicion of a nutrient deficiency, a soil sample should be taken. Water is equally important. Lack of it causes poorly filled ears, either because nutrients were not carried up to the plant, or because pollination was inter- fered with. In most cases we cannot irrigate corn acreages, but the water demand can be reduced somewhat by reducing the number of plants per acre. Where experience shows that drought can happen fairly regularly, such as on land with gravelly or sandy subsoils, Mr. Wright recom- prevent orn mends a maximum of 18,000 plants per acre. In some fields, the problem is root damage and poor uptake. Damage by corn rootworm larvae feeding on the roots is evident if the corn was goosenecked. The range for rootworm is normally considered to be in southwestern Ontario, "but there are definitely no rootworm problems east of Toronto's Yonge Street," Mr. Wright says. Adult corn rootworm beetles feed on the silks and, if present in sufficient numbers, can intervene with pollination. If the silks are clipped off before pollination, barren ears can result. Another problem -causing insect is the aphid. Occasional overpopulations feed on the tassels and can reduce pollination if the pollen falls off before the ears are pollinated. There is no practical control method of .these pests. However, because aphids were present in 1974 does not mean they will be an important factor this year; there is no relationship between continuous corn and aphid numbers. However, neither adult corn rootworm beetles nor aphids are likely to cause as many problems as the first three factors. Good management plays an important part in reducing, controlling and eliminating poorly filled ears, If you had problems in 1974, don't just hope they'll go away. Do something about them. Baintoneers to play in W.O.B.A. Blyth Baintoneers went to Seaforth last Wednesday night, March 12 and played their second game in the finals against CCATS and defeated them 3-0. Goals were scored by Joyce Carter with 2 and Linda Hamm with 1. Sue Kolkman and Annette Carter took turns in net and did an excellent job. Blyth Baintoneers also went to the Blyth tournament last week- end but were put out by Desboro who won the tournament. The Baintoneers first game was against the Elora Rockettes on Saturday morning at 11 a.m. whom .they defeated 2-1. Sue Kolkman scored the first goal to tie them 1-1. The game then went into overtime and Joyce Carter scored the winning goal. The next game was on Sunday,, March 16 at 3:00 p.m. against Desboro, but were defeated 1-0. The team did an excellent job in holding off the opposing team until they went into overtime and Desboro got the lucky punch. There is another tournament this weekend here in Blyth called the W.O.B.A. and the Baintoneers are looking for your support. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 19, 1975. PG. 15. Keep young pigs warm to ,prevent weak leg bones Check the thermometer if your young pigs are well fed but weaklegged. Recent research at the Ontario Agricultural College indicates cool temperatures can lead to weak leg bones and poor feed utilization in pigs not yet weaned, "Farmers have long been aware that because the newborn pig is unable to regulate its body temperature well it needs supple- mentary heat, says Animal and Poultry Science Professor, R.G. Brown. "However, many do not realize that while healthy, mature pigs thrive at 60°F in southern Ontario, young pigs right up to weaning need temperatures of 75 to 85°F. Both sexual and bone development are retarded by coolness. In addition, the young pig that converts its rations to heat energy instead of pounds of gain costs more to feed." During one experiement, six- to seven -week-old pigs kept at a cool temperature excreted five to eight times more phosphorus than pigs of the §ame age kept in a warmer pen. The excessive phosphorus Toss resulted in poorly developed, shorter, thicker leg bones. "Chemical analysis showed the bones were abnormal," says Professor Brown. "They probably would not have stood up to violent stress. "Although supplementary heat Atoms play Goderich The Blyth Atoms played a very strong game against Goderich Monday night. The boys held Goderich to a tie at the end of two periods. Then Goderich exploded for 4 goals and went on to win 6-2. Goal scorers were Kurtis Whitfield and Bruce Hunking. Assists went to Darryl Chalmers, Kevin Coultes and Jim Oster.

After all, the young pig raised in a cool barn needs more feed, produces small hams on shorter, weaker hind legs, and many therefore be useless for breeding stock." To raise the temperature in a barn, make sure doors and windows arc tight fitting. Patch any cracks in walls and ceilings and provide young pigs with extra bedding. Good ventilation ` is especially important. Animals 4 stay warmer in a dry barn, so it is essential to make sure fans and other ventilation equipment are in top condition, ***** The danger of suffocation is always present with children around the honk, advises the Industrial Accident Prevention Association. Dry cleaning bags of thin plastic arc hazardous and should be safely discarded as soon as possible. Children can suffocate in less than a minute. HAD YOUR PUMP j CHECKED LATELY?

Would rather Winter pudding full of goodness have money than gifts DEAR ANN LANDERS: You really blew it on your advice to the Protestant parents who wrote to say they didn't think they could take another Catholic wedding. Their older daughter married into the church and now their second daughter had announced that she was going to do the same. Being Jewish, how could you possibly know what it's like for Anglican parents to stand and watch their children take vows in a church whose teachings they do not believe? A wedding isn't just a ceremony. It's a promise to accept a certain way of life. This is more than a matter of pride. You must be aware of the chemical effects on the body when behavior goes against one's inherent beliefs. So please don't give advice like that. You haven't been through it. --WE HAVE DEAR W.H.: The individuals who are being married take the vows. The parents are merely wit- nesses. 1 say if your children made the decision to be married in that Catholic church, you should be willing to accept that decision and respect their right to choose the kind of life they want for themselves. It is my personal opinion that parents who refuse to attend the wedding of a child who marries out of their faith are being extremely punitive and patheti- cally short-sighted. DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 am 67, a fairly intelligent woman, with a son who is physically handi- capped. Our daughter received a splendid education, married well and lives 600 miles from here, My health, plus my son who needs care, make traveling impossible. Because my daughter has four small children, she is unable to get away and we see each other very infrequently. I will be frank about the problem because I need a straight answer. After ten years of dire deprivation, our daughter finally agreed to send me a certain amount of money every month. A good part of it is "returned" in the form of birthday and Christmas gifts for her, her husband and the four children. These past two years I have been strapped financially and I need every cent. This daughter who is supposed to be so brilliant buys us useless and costly gifts which we hate to see come through the door. If only she would send us the money instead, For Christmas she sent me a pantsuit (which 1 will never wear) and a garish, rhinestone necklace like "ladies of the evening" used to wear 25 years ago. What can be done about such waste? -•DEPRESSED IN NASHVILLE DEAR NASH: Write your daughter a letter. Tell her you appreciate her thoughtfulness but you do not need gifts, you need cash. Explain, too, that you will be sending the children birthday letters in a box of homemade cookies from now on and you hope they will enjoy them. For Christmas, knit mittens for 'the children and scarfs for the adults. DEAR ANN LANDERS: My husband has a low sperm count. Does this mean we can't have any children? My mother says yes, and that we should stop trying and begin to look into adoption. What dei you say? --EAGER TO BE PARENTS DEAR EAGER: Many men with low sperm counts have fathered children. You and your husband should go to a fertility clinic for instruction. Many couples who were depressed because they were unable to have children have been helped by these profession- als, Your gynecologist can guide you. * * It's not always easy to recognize love, especially the first time around, Acquaint yourself with the guidelines.

If you're concerned about the high cost of sugar but still want to serve nice desserts, Winter Pudding fits the bill. The recipe has many pluses, say food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, It uses very little brown sugar - most of its sweetness comes from corn syrup. It takes one egg, and offers bulk in the form of potato, carrot and bread crumbs. It's a good winter pudding. You can eat it today, keep it in the refrigerator for tomorrow, or adequately cover and freeze it for another time. WINTER PUDDING 1/2 cup ground suet '/a cup brown sugar 2/3 cup corn syrup 1 egg Juice of 1 lemon 2 tbsp. milk 1 cup raisins 1 cup currants 1 cup grated raw potato (1 large) 1 cup grated raw carrot (2 medium) '/2 cup flour 3/4 tsp. baking soda '/2 scant tsp. salt '/ tsp, cloves 1/2 tsp. nutmeg '/: tsp. cinnamon 1 cup fresh bread crumbs (3 slices) In a large mixing bowl together with suet, sugar, corn syrup and egg.

A foretaste of spring Give Mother Nature a little push. Force a few stems of an early flowering shrub to bloom indoors, so that you will have a spring bouquet long before crocuses, daffodils and tulips appear in the garden. "Goldenbcll forsythia, a favorite in many gardens, and Pussy Willow, easily found during walks in the woods, are the shrubs most commonly used for this purpose," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, D.B. McNeill.

Newspapers were being published in Blyth before nearly anyone alive today was born, If yours truely walked into one of those newspaper shops of that era, he'd be as helpless as a baby. After being used to computerized typesetters and huge rotary offset presses, setting each letter by hand and running off papers two pages at a time on an ancient flat-bed press would be as difficult as trying to read Chinese newspapers. Yet aside from the technologi- cal differences, one can feel a tremendous bond with those men, The newspaper business is as much a brotherhood as it is a profession; as much an addiction as it is a job. Read a paper of 50 or 75 years ago, for instance, and you'll comc across typographical errors and goofs just as you do today. An editor feels for the man who ran the paper when that error was made. He may long since be dead, but his errors live on for years to come. Most people's mistakes are soon forgotten, but not in this business. 1 admire the newspapermen of that era, years ago. They were men of both intellectual prowess' and mechanical ability. One minute they would be worrying about the problems of the world and trying to come up with a solution to advocate in their paper; then next they were trying to figure out how to hold a dilapitated old printing press together long enough to get one more week's paper off it. They were, for the most part, dedicated men. They had to be; starting up, a newspaper, was no easy task. Today someone can start a newspaper in a small town with virtually no equipment since there are plenty of places.where he can have it compiled and printed. In those days, a publisher had to set all the type and do the printing himself so he had to have the equipment. He also had to know how to use it. It took many man hours to turn out those old papers that seem so small by today's standards. In many fields the so called "progress" we've made is doubtful to me. But in the newspaper business, particularly the small town weekly newspaper business, the progress has been real. The modern equipment we have these days allows us to produce newspapers that are every bit as good technically as the big city newspapers. More- over the equipment has set us free of the technological problems which made us spend so much time on the actually compiling of the paper that we didn't have time for the more important things like what goes into the newspaper. After all, you really don't care when you read your paper, how much work went into making it; you're only interested in how much of interest there is to read in that paper. The last 10 years have brought a revolution in the newspapers of this part of the country. Take a look at nearly any newspaper in Huron county today and match it to one from 10 years ago. You'll find a huge difference. It looks better technically. .It's much bigger, likely at least twice as big. It has much more local news such as reports on county council and THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 19, 1975. PG. 17. Years may fly, but in this business, there's always a link with the past school boards. In short, although in many cases the same people are editing the newspapers today as 10 years ago, the quality of product is vastly improved. And although you're paying a lot more for the same newspaper today that you did 10 years ago, it's probably costing you Tess for each hour of reading than it did then. But despite the differences, there are still the similarities. The editor of today, the editor of 10 years ago, the editor of 50 years ago or the editor of a century ago are still much alike. They carry a big responsibility. They may own the actual newspaper plant, but the newspaper isn't really theirs. It's sort of like a privately owned public utility. When 1 look back through the old files of this newspaper I get the feeling that I may be the publisher of The Standard as of this moment, but the paper isn't really my property. Long after I'm gone the Standard (hopefully) will still be around. Like Doug Whitmore betore me, and Ken Whitmore before him and men like J.H.R. Elliott and Shorty Robinson before that, I'm simply one of the individuals passing through the long history of this newspaper. 1 have a responsi- bility to live up to the Standard they have set in the past and to keep the newspaper healthy for those who will follow me. Despite what some people think, there is not a lot of money in running a small town news- paper especially in a village of this size: there wasn't in the days of the first publisher and there isn't today. Keeping a newspaper equipped with the best equip- ment available at a cost that can be afforded cats up most of the money that comes through the But money isn't what attracts' most people to the newspaper business. They arc attracted because they feel it is as important to have good news- papers as it is to have good schools: both perform the task of educating people, but the schools stop when a student reaches adulthood while papers go on as long as people can read and think. Newspaper people know that a newspaper is one of the most important things in making a small town a small town. Without a newspaper, the community finds it much harder to function in a united way. This is the knowledge that the editors and publishers of a century ago carried about their role in their towns, and this is the same responsibility that the• editors of today carry. Protect seedlings from soil -borne diseases Avoid soil -borne diseases and start healthy seedlings indoors this February and March by using a sterilized soil mixture. "Clean soil for planting is the key to control," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, D.B. McNeill. "Whether purchased or sterilized at home, it greatly reduces the chances of wilting and of stem rot near the soil surface. These symptoms, which can be caused by a variety of disease organisms, are usually referred to as 'damping off'." Life in Western Ontario can be great.

To sterilize a soil mixture, spread it, in a two-inch layer, on a shallow pan. Put a small potato - two to three inches long - on the soil. Place the pan in the oven and set the temperature at 375°F. When the potato is cooked, the soil is sterlized. Because sterililzed soil is easily contaminated, handle it with clean tools and containers, Before using, wash them for 30 seconds in a chlorine bleach solution of one part bleach to nine parts water.
