McKinley, M.P, for Huron announced Thursday that nine of 15 applications for Huron had been approved. The two Blyth projects arc: Don Reid, Cathy Madill and Kim Watson will receive a $4,670 grant to provide recreational activity for pre-school children in Blyth. Susan and Philip Street and Sharon Ives will receive $6,090 to do research into the History of Blyth through interviews, letters, diaries and old newspaper files in preparation for the village's centennial in 1977, Morris township reports $23,950 deficit Morris Township ran up a deficit of $23,950 in 1974, according to the auditor's report accepted at the April meeting of council. The deficit, larger than had been budgeted for, was driven up by the cost of some drainage work and sewer work in the village of Belgrave, In otherwords George Radford Construc- tion Ltd. of Blyth was awarded the contract for the supply of gravel at the April meeting of Morris township council April 7. The Blyth firm will supply 20,000 cubic yards of gravel to the township for use on the roads at a cost of $1,50 per year. In other business, two representatives of the Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity, Rob Keip and 1. DesLaut•iers attended the meeting to explain the work of the Authority with a slide presentation, commentary and by answering questions. Dave Reed of the Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. and Jim Cardiff of Brussels were present to discuss the townships insurance and after some recommendations were made the insurance was renewed. A grant of $400 was given to the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. The engineer, James A. Howes was asked to look after repair to a branch of the Russell Drain. The contract forconstruction of the cloakey Drain was awarded to Gerber Drainage Enterprises Ltd., of Millbank. The same company will look after work on the Blyth Creek Drain. A grant of $5.00 was given to the Architectural Conservacy of Ontario at Goderich. Road Accounts of $8,868.69 and general acocunts of $2,562.91 were approved for payment. tie BLYTII, ONTARIO and PRICE: 20 CENTS a VOLUME 85 • NO. 16 Debating plan Huron County Warden, Anson McKinley (left] and Frank Wall, vice-president of the Ontario' Federation of Agriculture discuss the O.F.A's plan for a farm income protection at a meeting last week in Seaforth. Mr. McKinley opposed the plan as a step away from the free enterprise system. --staff photo. Federation income plan detailed The Ontario Federation of Agriculture expects action very soon on its proposal for an income stabilization plan for farmers, a spokesman said Thursday night in Seaforth. - Frank Wall, vire-president of the 0.F.A, told the monthly meeting of the Huron County Federation held in Seaforth that he would be "very disappointed" if there isn't an announcement of the plan within two months. Mr. Wall was speaking at the meeting to explain the O.F.A.'s plan for an insurance plan to guarantee farmers that they would be able to recover their costs of production. The plan, proposed to the government two months ago in the O.F.A.'s yearly brief to the cabinet, called for a system that would see farmers pay into the plan at times of good prices and draw on the plan when prices were low. Farmers would pay one third of the cost of the plan and the government would pay two-thirds; Mr. Wall explained that the plan would be based on working out the cost of production for each commodity for an efficient production unit. Farmers, would Hullett councillors kept busy with special meetings Nutlet township councillors have been busy recently holding three meetings in the past two weeks. The council held a meeting on April 1 because of the heavy agenda building up for the regular meeting on April 7. A motion was passed to invite representa- tives of the Hullett Wildlife Area management to a meeting on April 15 to discuss the effect on drains in the area. Several property owners in the area were afraid of the effect on their farm drains of the flooding in the wildlife area. Severances were approved for Cliff 'Shobbrook, George Ives and D.J. Little. Building permits were issued to L. McClinchey for a drive shed; D. Westerhout, chicken barn; Donald Watson, porch on house; Bev Nott, barn and Elwood Mitchell, residence, all subject to by-laws and health regulations. Tenders for the Van Dorp drain were called for May 1. The Clerk was instructed to look into the Ontario Home Renewal Programme, The council moved to send a card to Charlie Scanlon, former councillor, who was a patient in hospital in London. At the regular meeting on April 7, building permits were issued to Bruce Shillinglaw for a drive shed and Jim Medd for a drive shed. A tile drain loan was approved to John Segcren. A petition was accepted from property owners for a cleanout and improvement of the Riley Drain. The tender of Gerber Drain Enterprises was accepted for the construction of Beane Drains No. 1 and 2. Radford Construction of Blyth was awarded the contract for supply of gravel at $1,50 per cubic yard. Court of revision was held on the Wallace Drainage Works with councillor Milton Dale asking to be excused because of possible conflict of interest. Several interested property owners were present and Engineer E. H. Uderstadt explained the situation that was questioned in two appeals. After some discussion the Court was closed with the advice to any owners who were still not satisfied that their appeals could be taken to the judge for further consideration. No action was taken on the appeals on the Drainage works. The reading of the report on the Bowes drainage works was set for May 1. A grant of $125 was given to the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. Another special meeting was held on April 9 to consider tenders for a township truck, plow and sander. The tender of Harvey Krotz, Listowel was accepted with several improvements suggested. then be compensated for the shortfall between their cost of production and the current price paid. He explained that the individual producer would have the freedom to join or not to join, as would the different commodity groups (such as, for instance, the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board), Once a commodity board did join, however, it would be committed to remain in the plan until the renewal period of five years of the beginning. Individual farmers who joined would also be required to stay in the plan for five years once they had joined. Each commodity, he said, would have to have some sort of bargaining unit to be included in the plan. Beef producers, for instance, might use the Ontario Beef Improvement Association, Corn producers, currently unorganized, would need some kind of organization. He warned that some sort of production controls ,• would be inherent in the plan since "farmers want to produce" and if guaranteed a break-even price would produce large surplusses. Perhaps, he speculated, compensation payments for losses would cover only the amount of produce that the farmer had produced an average in the past. Mr. Wall noted that the government had announced in its budget the provision for some sort of stabilization plan but called the $20 million budgeted for farming inadequate. If prices improved, he said, the cost of setting up the insurance plan might be minimal since farmers would be paying in and not drawing on the plan. He said that under the circumstances he felt the government should kick in $100 million to provide adequate protection. He criticized the small amount of money ticketed for farming in the provincial budget, pointing out that farmers pump $1,6 billion dollars into the Ontario Economy every year. If more money had been given to farming, he said, it would stimulate the entire economy. He said that with input costs up and prices down farmers are going to be in a terrible position unless some sort of income protection is given soon. One of the provisions of the O.F.A.'s plan calls for only members of the O.F.A. to be eligible for inclusion in the income protection plan. This provision drew the heaviest fire at the meeting. One speaker said that he was concerned that "one small group" (about one third of Ontario's farmers belong to the O.F.A.) should dictate to the rest of Ontario farmers. Mr. Wall explained that the O.F.A. had come up with the plan and had offered to administer it and felt it should get credit for the plan. He said it was the only farm group capable of administering the plan. d .WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16, 1975. Ashfield school closed to save more than $2,000 On recommendation of the education and management committee, Huron County Board of Education members Monday afternoon agreed to close the North Ashfield public school effective June 30 of this year, Pupils who would normally attend the Ashfield school for and after the 1975-76 term will be enrolled at Brookside public school, a distance of about 12 miles. Trustee Marian Zinn while in favour of the move suggested that ratepayers in the area should be given a say in disposition of the school property. In answer to a question of. getting any opposition to the proposed move, Mrs. Zinn said, "No. It's been taken for granted. But, the school is only 14 years old and I think ratepayers should have a say about its disposal." She was assured by vice-chairman Herb Turkheim that an Ontario Select Commit- tee has suggested meetings of this type before closed schools are disposed of. TO HIRE TECHNICIAN After considerable discussion, the board decided to hire an audio visual technician for the media centre located at the board's offices in Clinton and not replace a retiring technician at South Huron High School in Exeter. Ken Bridges who has been the audio visual technician at South Huron since before creation of the county board wishes to retire. In an earlier brief from SHDHS it was stated Mr. Bridges would continue for another year if no solution to the staff of the Exeter school could be reached. The board will allow South Huron to hire a para -professional or teacher's aid to fill the position. Director of Education D. J. Cochrane said a person to fill this position could be included on the South Huron staff in lieu of a secretarial staff or .5 teacher. Asked about procedures used by other boards Cochrane replied, "There are as many systems as school boards." The only high schools in the county presently having this audio visual technician service are Exeter and Wingham, The South Huron brief had suggested the technician service be extended to include all secondary schools and the placing of a technician at Central Huron in Clinton istead of the board's administration office. In other business, the board: •Approved a swimming program at the Vanastra pool for 30 grade 4 students from Hullett Central school. Similar programs are being operated by Huron Centennial and Clinton public schools. •Referred a request by Wingham board member Jack Alexander that a poll be taken at F. E. Madill Secondary School to consider the possibility of establishing a music program in the school. •Director Cochrane will be investigating. Trustee Alex Corrigan said a similar request two years ago failed to show enough interested students. •Learned arrangements have been made for a special meeting at the Exter public school on Wednesday, April 23. County clerk -treasurer dies in Goderich John G. Berry, Clerk -treasurer and administrator of Huron County since 1958, died in Goderich Thursday night after a short illness. He was 52. Mr, Berry joined Huron County government as a clerk in the county roads department in 1949. He was appointed deputy -clerk treasurer in 1951. He is survived by his wife Josephine, and three children, Mrs. Suzanne Vodden of RR 1, Clinton, Llaine of London and Russell at home. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 16, 1975.

HURON•BRUCEI The big news this week in the Legislature was the budget speech and the presentation of the 1975 Budget by Provincial Treasurer Darcy McKeough.

Buyers of new or used homes can receive a grant of $1,500 providing it is their first home. This programme ends at the end of the year. Under the plan anyone purchasing a first home will receive a $I,000 grant this year, and $250 in each of the two succeeding years. To encourage investment the seven per cent sales tax on production machinery and equip- ment has been removed on items ordered between now and the end Of 1976, Free drugs will be extended to all those over 65 effective August 1st.

THIS SPACE IS RESERVED FOR YOU I3Y BILL SMILEY This seems to be a good week to clean up some loose ends, so, if you happen to have a loose end, join me, Me and the Old Battleaxe spent a couple of days in the city during our winter break holiday. And "spent" is the word. It would have been cheaper to fly 10 Mexico and pick up Monteztuna's curse, as they call it there, or the dire rear, as we call it here. This remark has no connection with the opening sentence of this column. We went out shopping to buy a "little something" for Pokey, the grandson. Just a little shirt, or a toy, or some other trifle. Fifty dollars later, I staggered out of the department store, toting two large toys, six little shirts, four pairs of overalls, a full-dress suit for the kid, and a plastic shell windbreaker with a lining and a hood to "keep him warm when he comes out from swimtning." At 15 months, he's going to be doing a lot of swimming, you see. Then, of course, we had to deliver the stuff, So we invited ourselves to dinner with daughter and told her not to fuss, that we'd bring along an old chunk of meat or something. Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, she agreed with alacrity. My wife's idea of a couple of items to help out with dinner turned out to be five dollars worth of steak, the equivalent in pies and stuff, and assorted groceries running to another 10, my daughter supplying the potatoes and water for the coffee. However, it was worth it. We each got to hold the baby for about 10 minutes, in one -minute snatches, between bouts of trying out his toys and having. clothes tried on him by the women. After many years, I finally realize why 1 hate trying on new clothes for my wife's surveillance. That baby despised every minute of the clothes -modelling session, and bellowed'lusty protests as his mother and gran pulled his limbs into all sorts of gymnastics, trying to stuff him into his new pants and shirts. It probably happens to all males in childhood, and they resent it ever after. Next day was even worse, financially. My wife was deter- mined to buy a rug, bedspread and drapes to match some new wallpaper in a room she'd decorated, As any woman knows - and most husbands, too - this is a three-month, not a three-hour quest. It's usually about as easy u , looking for the Lost Chord. ,'otisequently, the old girl went off with leaden step, sagging mien and built-in frustration. She looked so depressed my heart went out to her, and in a moment of madness, I offered to accomp- . any her. Unfortunately, she was in the bathroom with the door closed and the water running, and 1 was so emotional that I was whispering, so she didn't hear me. To my astonishment, she burst into the hotel room two hours later, eyes shining, looking like a little girl on her first date, and radiating joy. She had bit the jackpot in her shopping. Every- thing matched some shade of off -yellow. Since I had expected to greet a worn-out woman, full of recrimi- nations, weary, dispirited and empty-handed, 1 got carried away. "Hcy! This must be your day. Why don't you buy a little something for yourself in that women's store? It will give you a lift, "Well, as you know, 1 haven't bought a stitch of anything new since I don't know when. Maybe I'll pick up a new spring blouse or THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 16, 1975. PG. 3.

We have heard more bleets from the consumer movement in the past couple of years about the consumer being ripped -off that one could count with an electronic pocket calculator, But more and more, however, it seems to be the consumer who is doing the ripping off. The consumer niovenient seems to think that only the consumer is important, that those who produce and distribute products for the consumer are simply some sort of vassals that should do their work for nothing and be happy doing it. A case in point was the news conference held by Beryl Plumptre in Ottawa last week at which she announced, among other things, that the Food Prices Review Board would no longer operate it's comparison of food prices survey in the Ottawa -Hull area, The survey had been started last fall by the Board and compared the prices of basic foods in various food chains. The result was an uproar; love from the shoppers; hate from those stores that had higher prices; smirking satisfaction from the stores that had the best prices. But Mrs. Plumptre decided to discontinue the practice because, she said of the dangers involved. She pointed out that in order to compete, some stores might lower their prices, and thus profits, to the detriment of capital expenditures on new equipment and facilities. in other words, the short term gain might be a long term loss because the service provided by the stores would decrease. She also pointed out that the big chains could afford to take a loss for a time while the small independent operator couldn't afford to get involved in the food store version of "Let's Make A Deal". it would mean, she said, driving more small operators out of business and in the long run, giving the big chains an even stronger, strangle -hold on the industry than in the past. Mrs. Plumptre, in short, was being reasonable, looking at the long run, not just the short. The consumer movement, however, didn't want reason, Consumer spokesmen immediately cried that Mrs. Pluniptrc had betrayed them. One hinted, no` charged, that Mrs. Plumptre was just getting in line with the government because the time for renewing the Board's mandate was coming up soon. The consumer movement has nearly 'always acted like the farmer who owned the goose that laid the golden egg: they're only worried about the short run and to hell with the long run. The only time Mrs. Plumptre has won any favour with consumers, in fact, has been when she was being at her most irresponsible back during the "egg war," She was telling them what they wanted to hear then. But now, she's telling it like it is, and the consumers, like little children, just don't want to accept it. It's sad The two Toronto hockey teams, the Leafs and the Toros are locked in hockey playoffs with teams that would rather fight than switch to playing hockey. Both teams have some former European hockey stars for whom. fighting is just not part of hockey. The Earopean stars have been under heavy criticism from their own Toronto fans because they refuse to fight back. Finally, Monday night, big Vaclav Nedomansky of the Toros did fight back when a San Diego player tried to gouge out his eye with the tip of a hockey stick. The fight probably won him some fans in Toronto and some respect from the San Diego maulers, but it was a little sad to see. Isn't it a sad commentary on our professional hockey that a play of this calibre is not really considered good unless he can punch out the bullies on the opposition teams? Stick it out Finance Minister John Turner last week announced a proposed program of voluntary restraints for business and labour which nobody seems to think will work. The problem is of course, that if people don't think it will work, it won't. There must be a genuine attempt on the part of everyone to make the program work. Those who think it won't, will be out to gouge every cent they can out of everyone else and will sabotage the whole plan. The government, itself, indeed governments at all levels have the power to do something to start the ball rolling in the right direction. It will hurt, but we've got to stick it out. The hurting will come when the governments refuse to back down in holding the,line against wage demands from their own employees. For instance, Ontario secondary teachers have led the inflationary psychology by winning huge pay increas:.s. Reports early in the week indicated that the teachers of Ottawa had finally won a 34 per cent increase in one year after striking for six weeks, The teachers, to their discredit, held the future of the school children up for ransom. Pressure from parents worried about their children's education is too much for local school boards to face alone, They need the force of the senior governments behind them, and they need the support of the people behind them. No one, not teachers or members of parliament or school trustees or school administrators should be getting an increase of 20 per cent or more at a time like this. We must refuse to give in to the blackmail, even if the cure hurts as bad as giving in. Those were the days 5 years ago APRIL 8 AND 15, 1970 A former Blyth native and hockey star, Allen Howes was reported to be a big hit at St, Lawrence University in New York v.'here he was attending school on an athletic scholarship. Howes, wlio played Midget hockey with 14-16 year old boys when he was only 12, starred in goal for the university hockey team in his rookie year in the college league. 'i'he Blyth Squirts lost out in the grand championship round of the W.O.A.A. to Durham. The Blyth Agricultural Society decided to move to a one -day fair for 1970, Blyth village council voted to endorse a resolution from Goderich town council calling for a four -lane link with highway 401. A meeting' was called to organize a minor sports conimit- tee for Blyth and District. The Blyth Horticultural Society met to make plans for beautifying the village including trying to plant and maintain gardens at the corners of streets and planting flowers under the signs at the entrances to the village, 10 years ago APRIL 14, 1965 The Morris Area School Board met in the Brussels School on April 7 and moved that the Morris school arca be kept intact and that three central schools be built to serve Brussels, Blyth, Morris and East Wawanosh with schools at Brussels, Belgravc and Blyth. Bluth native, William Hcffron died in Brampton at age 50. He operated a clothing store in Blyth from 1948 until 1951. Huron -Bruce M.P.P. Murray Gaunt questioned the wisdom of the provincial government's decision to put brucellosis control on a voluntary basis. He called the move premature even though one per cent or less of the pollution of Ontario were infected with the disease. Control had gone so far to eradicate the disease, he said, that it would be a shame to take the controls off too soon and have a flare-up of the disease. Although no definite decision was made to attempt the installation of artificial ice in the local arena, last Friday's meeting was a gratifying one for those in favour of the venture. Repre- sentatives of practically every organization in the village, as well as surrounding .township repre- sentatives were in attendance. The possibility was raised that this alight be a Centennial project. 20 years ago ARPIL 13, 1955 According to Mr. Elmer Keller, local C,P.R. station agent, a change is to take place in the present passenger service offered for so many years to passengers wishing to use rail service on the Goderich•Guclph run through Blyth. Effective April 25th the present passenger train service will be suspended and replaced with a mixed train that is expected to run daily, leaving Guelph at 8:30 a.m. and arriving at Godcrich at 1:45 p.ln. while the return train will leave Godcrich at 10 8.nt. and arrive at Guelph at 4:30 p.m. The train will be mostly for freight and a check on the time table will reveal that very few people wishing to make time will use the train service after April 25. A meeting of the ratepayers of the Township of Morris was held at the Township Hall on Monday evening at which the ground work was laid for a township -wide celebration of their centennial year in 1956. The event will comprise a three-day celebration and will be held on the Civic Holiday weekend. A report on the water supply of the village showed the water to be good from a chemical and bacterial basis with a content of 1.6 parts per million compared to one part per million in those cities that add flouride to the water SI'Stelll. 30 years ago APRIL 18, 1945 The Standard has received a complaint from . a citizen with request that we publish the fact that dogs are making themselves a real nuisance in the village gardens, Morris township council accepted the tender of George Radford to supply crush and deliver gravel at 70 cents per cubic yard. A meeting of the VE -Day committee was held in the Memorial Hall ori Monday even- ing when arrangements were made for a suitable observance of the cessatin of hostilities in Europe, whenever that may come. It was agreed that a community church service should be held in the Memorial Hall on the day Victory is delcared, Should the news come prior to 8 a.nt„ the service will be held at 11 o'clock in the morning. If it conies after that hour, it will be held at 8 o'clock in the evening. A united choir of all church will lead 111 tlic singing, and a parade of veterans, scouts, cubs and school children will form at the school and proceed to the 11all for the service. In view of the fact the war with Japan will still be in progress, it was felt any elaborate celebration would be out of place, 50 years ago APRIL 16, 1925 The new redistribution hill which passed the Legislature last week forms only two ridings in Huron instead of three. Centre Huron is cut out; Godcrich and Grey Townships arc added to North Huron; Clinton, Scaforth, McKillop and Hullett will be in the South Riding, For Sale: The Blyth Agricul- tural Society are offering for sale by sealed tender, the grand stand on the Driving Park Grounds, the Same to be taken down and removed from the prcniises,•,I.

He will be missed in the Blyth business circle, The new firm will work under the firm name of White Brothers. Popplcstone and Gardiner announced they were quitting business and offered their stock of dry goods, boots, rubbers, trousers, overalls, groceries, shoes, outing goods, smocks, and rubber cats for sale at reduced prices, It is estimated that the production of farm eggs in Canada for 1924 was 212,648,508 dozens of the value of $48,770,780 in 1923.

Board debates over bus problems BY ROSS HAUGH The two trustees from the town of Godcrich on the Huron County Board of Education disagreed Monday on whether students in an urban arca living more than one mile from a school should• receive bus privileges. A motion by Mrs. Dorothy Wallace that busing for these students not be started at this time was approved by board members. The other Goderich representa- tive Cayley Hill was in favour of providing bus transportation. In his opening remarks Hill said "1 would like to try it for a year strictly on a trial basis." After Mrs. Wallace's motion was passed, Hill said he would ask that the matter be brought up again at the May or June meeting for further discussion. As the result of a petition from some residents of Goderich a few months ago, the Administration was asked by the Board to look into the cost of providing service throughout the county for town children living more than one mile from their school. Costs as prepared by transpor- tation manager R.L. Cunningham amounted to $11,030.80 per year for 56 students at Robertson public school and 18 students at Goderich District Collegiate. In her statement to oppose providing bus services, Mrs. Wallace said, "Pupils would lose more than they gain at both ends of the day." Mrs. Wallace indicted some students were receiving extra help and using additional facili- ties in the morning before buses would arrive and again in the afternoon after bus departures. In favoring busing Hill said, "Some Godcrich parents feel very keenly about this. They feel they're not getting the 'sam shake' as rural youngsters." Hill continued, "we must recognize that the separate schools do this and I don't think leaving school on a bus will deprive a child from getting extra help." In reply to a question from Charlie Thomas, trustee Molly Kunder said, "in rural areas elementary students are required to walk only a quarter of a mile and the maximum walking distance for secondary students is a half mile." Hill indicated the big problem in Godcrich, could be youngsters walking through heavy traffic in the downtown area, At the end of the discussion, Mrs. Kunder suggested bus services for urban students could be tried in Goderich on a trial basis from December 1 to March 1, Other schools with town students more than a utile away arc F. E. Madill secondary and Wingham public school and Clinton public school. Letter to the editor DEAR EDITOR: Received today your 'issue March 19 Re- "Behind the Scenes" you really said it all.

Town's water needs mean trouble for Exeter area farmers The increasing -urbanization of Huron County is beginning to hurt farmers, at least in the area around Exeter, Dick 11herington, an Usbornc township farmer, complained at the Huron County Federation of Agriculture meeting in Seaforth 'I'Inn•sday night that a new well to supply water to the town of Exeter will lower the water table 011 his and adjoining farms and cut the production of the farms. He said the town only has 3242 people, but uses a half million gallons of water a day, not counting the amount of water used for industrial purposes. In the summertime, he said the town had pumped 1,589,160 gallons one clay. The town is drilling a new well in the arca of the Ethcrington farm, and according to Mr. Ethcrington, under regulations he and his neighbours will be forced to get permission from the Exeter P.U.C. before they can expand their own farming opera- tions, Because the town will be using Ole water unfiltered, he said, so there is the chance that they may crack down even further on the farm operations to prevent any pollution of the town's water supply. Mr, Ethcrington said he wouldn't complain at all if the town didn't have any alternative. But he noted that the town only had to build a seven -mile pipeline to hook up with the Ontario Water Resources Pipeline from Lake Huron. The pipeline to the well proposed will have to be five miles long. In addition to the two extra miles to hook up with, the Lake Huron pipeline, he said, the town would have to build a filtration plant and this seems to be the main stumbling block as the town tries to save money. He predicted, however, that the town will eventually have to build the plant anyway. In the mean time, he said, his sheep operation and the opera- tions of his neighbours would be) hampered both by the loss of water in Ole water table and by the restrictions 00 growth. He argued that the law needs to be changed to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future as urban demands for water continue to grow, ro :n ee 1 Corn V.rie 94 1) 100 102 0 ail es ble TxS - 85 Tx • 90 S TxS • 92 S TxS • 94 M'S Tx • 1 M'S TxS • 02 8 DAY.

Well, I guess that's the price of violence, It's always been difficult to raise a family. Children seem to insist upon being children. And just when we begin to understand them as children, they change into teen-agers! However parents, take heart, there's a way to end the constant war -fare, the rebelling, the problems and the pleading, with the "kids," There is a way to raise children who arc responsible, self-disciplined, and co-operative, without relying on the weapon of fear and punishment. it's called, Parent Effectiveness Training, (P.E.'r.) The basic idea is what Dr. Thomas Gordon calls the "no -lose method" of problem solving through a process of "active listening", There is more to the method of course, than i can explain in this short space. 'That's why the Dr. wrote a whole book about it! But it really does work. So that if you would like parent -hood to become a joy again, if you'd like to really understand what is going on inside junior's little head, if you'd like to get in touch with your teen-ager again, then for Heaven's sake get a copy of P.E.'1', (By Dr. Thomas Gordon, Peter H. Wyden, inc. publisher, 1970). This, I think, is what Paul niay have had in mind when he wrote to some Christian parents long ago: "Parents do not treat your children in such a way al to make them angry.

He warns that it is not sufficient to criticize law -makers or the medical pro- fression, but instead we must look at ourselves and take part of the responsibility. We must ask ourselves if we have the courage to say "no" to our teenagers going to adult shows? Do persons in our household watch T.V. shows that openly condone immorality? Do we support the discipline of our teachers and do we exercise discipline at home? Premarital sex, abortions, movies that depict immorality don't shock society as they have in the past. What can we do about it? Mr. Murphy suggests that we can attempt to mold the thinking of society so people in the community and especially the young would be shocked by abortion and other moral ills.

PG. 10. THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 16, 1975. THE "PERFECT" KITCHEN, according to General Elec. tric kitchen planners, includes more usable cabinet apace, walk-in pantry, time/labor-saving convenience features such as self-cleaning ovens, and the new trash compactor. Kitchen cabinets most wanted feature What's the kitchen feature most requested by American homemakers? Surprising it's not a new range or refrigerator, but more cabinets. "That's the word that we get Iowa and clear from women all over the country," says Bill Ketcham, who has been involved in the planning and design of some 10,000 kitchens. Ketcham is manager of kitchen and laundry design for General Electric Company in Louisville, Ky. As further modifcation to "more cabinets" the requests are for wall cabinets at a usable height, and with adjustable shelves, says Ketcham. "Too many six-foot kitchen planners make the mistake of designing a kitchen that is func- tional for them, not for the five- foot -two-inch homemaker who is going to work in it," he says. Their list also includes: There list also includes: •The right kind of base cabinets, planned to be located near the refrigerator, sink, dishwasher and range. *Well -lit work areas. *More electric outlets over counter areas. •Adequate working counter be- tween appliances. •Breakfast area in or near the kitchen. In remodeling the kitchen, most hommakers seem to be as interested in convenience fea- tures that save time and labor as they are in appearance. "Self- cleaning ovens and the new trash compactor are high on their list of most wanted appliances," Ketcham reports. *Maintenance -free materials. *Decorated to create eye appeal. Considering the relative rank- ing of decor, it would appear that for most homemakers the need for fancy wallpaper and colorful countertops can't hold a candle to walk-in pantry, says Ketcham. The pantry, indeed, is staging a continuing revival. General Electric kitchen planners have been including one, wherever adequate room is available, in the plans they have been developing for builders during the past year. Turn your kitchen inside out Kitchen decorating has taken on a new concept. A creative person, when faced with the task of redecorating a kitchen, might make the often - used room look like an outdoor patio area. Starting with the walls, put up house shaker shingles. Cover the floors with some wall-to-wall artificial turf • the soft, green indoor/outdoor kind. Brick -like tiles for the splash board area behind the sink complete the look. With such a start, a person can go even further with individual accessory ideas, such as wrought iron dinette set or outdoor light fixtures which resemble lamp- posts. Many "natural" motifs and concepts are becoming popular in kitchen designs. Ideas in this area include the use of stone, brick, bamboo, terrariums, and living plants. No -wax flooring requires proper cure Booklet offered Two of the most popular time -saving innovations in house- cleaning are the automatic dishwasher and the no -wax floor. Washers eliminate many hours at the kitchen sink for today's housewife, No -wax floors have eliminated the need for waxing, stripping, and rewaxing • chores which all women thoroughly dislike. To insure long-lasting service from a no -wax floor, it's important to follow certain maintenance procedures. If the floor is to keep its shiny appearance, it must be swept, sponge -mopped, and washed, just like any other resilient floor. Waxing is not necessary. Armstrong offers a free booklet containing advice on how to keep its no -wax floors looking their best. Following are some key pointers from the booklet: Put mats or throw rugs at entrances to keep grit and moisture from being tracked in, particularly if the floor is near a door to the outside. Do not use mats or rugs with foamrubber backing; they can stain the floor. To minimize indentations and shine -dulling scratches, use floor protectors on furniture legs, Sweep or vacuum the floor often to remove loose dirt. When spot cleaning is impracti- cal due to widespread soiling, spongemop the floor, First, dip the mop into warm water and wring it out well. Push the sponge across the floor, pressing hard enough to loosen surface dirt. Do one small arca .at a time, wringing out the sponge fre- quently to make sure that the dirt is picked up and not redistri- buted. Let Dry. No -wax flooring should be washed when it begins to look dull with dirt buildup that can't be removed by damp -mopping with plain water. It is perferable to have one sponge and bucket for rinsing. A sponge -mop with a nylon scrubbing pad attached to the front edge is a good type to use for washing. ,Do not use steel wool, scouring pads or gritty cleansers on a no -wax floor as they can mar the surface. The general-purpose detergent you select should state on the label that it is suitable for floors. After mixing a cleaning solu- tion according to label directions, apply the solution with a sponge -mop to a small arca of the floor. At this point, rest a minute and let the detergent action loosen the dirt. Then go over the arca again, pressing firmly to get the sponge into the embossed protions of the floor surface. Now, take up the cleaning solution on the floor with the sponge -mop well wrung out. Rinse thoroughly with the "rinse -only" sponge -mop and clean with warm water. Do not leave any dirty water in the embossed areas. Directions on some general- purpose detergents indicate that rinsing is not necessary. This may be true on some surfaces, but on floors the leftover detergent film is a notorious dirt catcher. Rinsing is a very important step in keeping no -wax floors shiny. Everyday wear will begin eventually to reduce the shine of a no -wax surface. This can happen so gradually that it may not be noticeable immediately. To touch up the shine from time to time, a special finish is available from flooring stores. Armstrong's booklet, "How To Keep Your Armstrong Floor Looking Its Best!" also offers tips on maintaining regular resilient floors. It contains information on wax -stripping procedures, spot and stain removal (including a stain -removal chart), and floor - care products.

You can dress your windows in plant life If you want to break away from traditional window coverings like curtains and shades, try a lively and exciting look: plants. A do-it-yourselfer could put several rows of shelves, spaced six to eight inches apart, over the window. The carpentry involved isn't difficult. Add a generous collection of sun -loving plants, in all sorts of varieties, and you have beautiful window design, some privacy for yourself, and healthy greenery enjoying lots of sunlight.

Most important and most effective is to insulate the home, especially the attic, top. Other energy -conserving tips include, from left: opening draperies on sunny days to let warming sunlight in; cleaning or replacing furnace filters to keep warm air flowing easily, and caulking around the outside of windows and door frames. Looking to cut heat consumption? Here are helpful household hints Homeowners everywhere are finding it will cost even more to heat their homes this winter, so the search is one more seriously than ever before for ways to reduce fuel consumption and lower fuel bills, The 12 most practical ways to cut your fuel bills are listed here, compliments of the Johns -Man- ville Insulation Center. 1, Insulate your home well. It's the most effective thing you can do. With adequate insulation, your home will require only about 50 per cent as much fuel as with no insulation, according to the Insulation Center. To insulate an existing home, first pay attention to the ceiling, where heat loss is greatest. You can generally insulate the ceiling yourself by laying thick but lightweight fiber glass blankets' between joists in the attic floor. If you already have some insulation, you can use an "add-on" insulation such as Johns -Manville's Re-Insul, which is made specifically to bring inadequate attic insulation up to today's standards. Consult an insulation contractor about insul- ating closed -in ceilings and walls, Choose amounts of insulation by Resistance numbers, which tell how well insulation retards heat flow. In new homes, use at least R-19 (61/2 inches thickness) in ceilings, R-11 (3 7/8 inches to 4 inches thickness) in walls. Insula- tion in floors is needed for homes built over open .crawl spaces. 2. Use storm windows or insulating glass. Double glass resists heat loss almost twice as well as single glass, says the J -M Insulation Center. 3. Use storm doors, keep them tightly latched. 4. Weatherstrip windows and doors to keep warm air in, cold air out. 5. Caulk cracks around the outside of window and door frames. 6. Call in a heating service man to clean and adjust the heating burner. He should also check balancing of the heat distribution system to make sure no room gets more heat than it needs. 7. .Clean or replace furnace 0000.0. When preparing potatoes, be sure to retnove all green spots before cooking, recommends St. John Ambulance. Death has occurred from eating the green parts of a potato. . filters. Dirty filters may severely hinder movement of warm air, reducing furnace efficiency and wasting fuel. 8. Set the thermostat back at night, but only six or seven degrees. A bigger setback will require extra fuel for morning pick-up. Always set the thermo- stat back if you're going to be away for a weekend or longer. 9. Check the location of your thermostat. The J -M Insulation Center says it should be on an inside wall four to five feet above floor level. Keep it away from heat sources such as a TV set or a lamp. 10. Turn off heat in rooms that aren't used. It you have zone thermostats to control your heating, consider keeping bed- rooms at a lower temperature during the day. if you like to sleep with a window open, make sure the bedroom door is closed. 11. Install a humidifier. When relative humidity is high, you will be comfortable at a lower temperature. 12. Develop good heat conser- vation habits. Lock windows to pull sash tightly together. Close fireplace dampers except when a fire is burning. Close draperies at night, open them on sunny days. THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 16, 1975. PG. 11. Soil must be well prepared for planting Soil must be well prepared before vegetable and flower seeds are planted. "Good drainage is extremely important," stresses Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, D.M. Sangster. "To improve both water and air movement through clay soils, add plenty of strawy manure and sand. Add peat moss to sandy soils to prevent them from drying out quickly." Check the fertilizer require- ments of soil with general recommendations in gardening books or Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food publica- tions. Overly acidic soils may require the addition of five to ten pounds of limestone for every 100 square feet, while 20 pounds of fertilizer with a 15.15.15 analysis is usually sufficient to supply nitrogen, phosphorus and potas- sium to 1,000 square feet of soil. "If more precise fertilizer recommendations are needed, consult a Soil Testing Labora- tory," says Mr, Sangster. "How- ever because these laboratories usually analyze farm soil samples first, the gardener who sends his soil sample in July, August. or February, when farmers send fewer samples, is more likely to receive results promptly." Manure, peat moss and fertil- izer should be worked into the soil to a depth of about six inches. S NDRSO SAS MAN UFA T URIiRS OF ODD SI' i REPLACEME' 1 WOOD WINI WS GO' ' 1E, ONT.

TIiE'BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 16, 1975. Fertilize your lawn lightly and frequently for a velvet effect Magic cannot turn a lawn into a patch of emerald -green velvet. "Proper feeding and care can, though," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticultur- ist, R.F. Gomme. 1 -Ie suggests gardeners fertilize their lawns in the early spring, after the frost has left the ground but before growth has begun, and again in early May, mid-June and early September, Frequent Tight feedings arc better than one heavy feeding. They prevent nitrogen burn, It is possible to control crabgrass Crabgrass may have been called that because its refusal to die turned aspiring young gard- eners into crabby old failures. However, by following proper lawn care practices and using preemcrgencc herbicides, gard- eners can now control this persistent lawn weed. "Pre -emergence herbicides kill crabgrass and other weeds as they sprout," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, R.F. Gonne, "so they should be applied in April or early May. Mixtures of pre - emergence herbicides and fertili- zers, that do two jobs in one, are also available. Always follow the April manufacturer's directions when applying these and all other chemicals." To assure even distribution, apply half the recommended amount of ,a pre -emergence chemical one way, and the other half at right angles to the first half, Adequate rainfall within a week after application is neces- sary to activate these chemicals. Two popular pre•emergence herbicides are Betasan and Dacthal. "Although pre -emergence herbicides arc useful, a good maintenance program is also necessary," emphasizes Mr. Gonunc. Crabgrass does not germinate well without light, so a gardening hints It is finally time to grow a garden. "In most areas of Ontario, soil can be worked during April," explains Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticultur- ist, R.F. Gomme, "Wait until all the frost is out of the ground though. It's a waste of time to dig and cultivate saturated soil, especially clay." As soon as the soil can be worked, trees, shrubs, and evergreens can be transplanted. Prune fruit trees and grapevines in April. Remove all suckers and low -growing branches, and those that are weak and broken, as well as those that interfere with each other. Roses should also be pruned now. Low -growing types can be trimmed to a six-inch height. Prune away about a foot from the tips of climbing roses. Shrub roses require little or no pruning. Hasten spring by forcing a few branches of pussywillow or forsythia. Trim off healthy branches by making slating cuts and place them in water at room temperature. Four or five branches in a large vase make an excellent bouquet. Londesboro card Lilacs colourful, party held W.I. card party was held on Friday night, April 11 with nine tables in play. Winners were: ladies' high, Mary Clark; lone hands, Vi Howes; low, Gladys Wallace; Men's high, Charles Cunningham; lone hands, Gloria McEwan (playing as a man); low, Laura Lyon (playing as a man); prize for lucky cup, Mary Shobbrook, donated by Charlie Cunningham. The seasons_card parties will end on April 25 with a dessert euchre with admission $1.00 at 8 p.m. In charge will be Mrs. Marjorie Anderson, Nettie Clark, Beth Knox and Gail Lear. For fragrance, color, and adaptability to many soils and climates, lilacs are hard to beat. "There are several hundred varieties to choose from," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, D.B. McNeill.

"Rose bushes are best planted in the spring while they arc still dormant," says Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticul- turist, D.M. Sangster, "and both they and the soil need careful preparation for setting." Never allow rose bushes to dry out before they are planted, Keep their roots moist, Prune the tops of the bushes black and remove the weak canes. Make sure rose beds are properly drained and contain plenty of organic matter. The addition of a 5.10-10 analysis fertilizer before planting, at the rate of one pound for every 25 square feet, usually assures the bushes of enough nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Work the soil to a depth of 18 inches to allow room for developing roots. Avoid cramping the roots of a rose bush, Place its grafting point two inches below the soil surface.

While in nature, a bluegrass plant might fill a square foot of soil and have little or no competition, in a lawn it has only a fraction of a square foot of soil and plenty of competition, in addition, its ability to manufacture food is reduced because it is cut at regular intervals. Use a balanced turf fertilizer with an analysis of either 10 parts nitrogen, six parts phosphorus and seven parts potash. Apply it at the rate of 12 pounds for every 1,000 square feet. To ensure even snreadine. calculate the amount needed, weigh it out and divide it in half. Move in a north -south direction when applying half of _ the fertilizer and in an east -west direction when applying the rest. To encourage thicker surface growth, improve the lawn's appearance and prevent weeds, apply a one-quarter inch top dressing of weed -free sandy loan[ to lawns on clay soil and a weed -free clay loans top dressing to lawns on sandy soil.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 16, 1975. BY KEITH ROULSTON Huron County Warden Anson McKinley was present at two farm meetings in the county last week and both times came out strong against a plan to guarantee farmers receive at least the cost of production on their farm produce. Mr. McKinley objects to this kind of creeping socialism. He wants to sec farming remain a completely free enterprise system. We sympathize with Mr, McKinley. It seems a shame to see the last vestage of free enterprise dying. More and more things are controlled by big government or big business, The small family farm, vigorously DEAR ANN LANDERS: Your independent went on. But whether the farmers take reply to the 16 -year-old girl who active part in changing the said she was an atheist was the system or not, free enterprises dumbest answer I've ever seen in seems to be a thing of the past on Your column. Why do you think a farms. In the past 30 years we've 16 -year-old too young to make seen the hard economic realities such a decision? forcemore and more farmers out I'm 61, not 16, and I've been an atheist for many years. The atheists I know arc a thousand times more intelligent, honest and compassionate than the religious hypocrites I keep runn- ing into. To name just a few magnificent atheists: Clarence Darrow, Mme. Marie Curie, Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, George Bernard Shaw, Margaret Sanger, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Jefferson. Only recently a Seventh Day Adventist minister said it pained him to admit it but he found atheists and agnostics much less vengeful than super -religious folks. Where have you been? I can only assume you are poorly read,•-C.B.M. Of Torrance, California DEAR C: Let's assume I AM poorly read. What has that to do with it? Some of the great readers of the world believe in God. My faith is rooted not only in my early upbringing but in my later exploration of ' life, the miracle of birth, and the wonders of nature, I cannot believe man did all this himself. I agree that "super -religious" people can be plenty phony. But please don't try to prove your case by trotting out a stellar list of brilliant atheists. My list would be longer than yours. And, incidentally, YOU should do a little more reading. Albert Einstein was not associated with any orthodox sect but he was a deeply spiritual person. He once said, "God may be sophisticated but He is not malicious." In Jefferson's most famous writing, The Delcaration of Independence, God gets an excellent notice in the very first sentence. In his old age Jefferson wrote, "To love God with all thy heart and thy neighbour as thyself is the sum of religion," Don't like it but. . production quotas some market- ing boards have set up either, but something has to be done, Farmers can't continue to farm under the present circumstances, Not—only does depleting the number of farmers concentrate ownership in the hands of loo few and not only docs it drive families off the farm who would be much happier on the farm than in some city but it also weakens the small of business. More and more farms are being concentrated in the hands of a few relatively powerful individuals, If the trend continues as it appears it will unless some drastic action is taken, we will soon have the same situation as in nearly every other business where a few large companies control the market. These large companies can not only artificially control prices, they also have the political clout get concessions from the govern- ment that make the money farmers now get. from govern- ment look absolutely paltry. I get sad when I see what has happened to farming since the Second World War. This land in Huron County was settled by hardy people from Europe who came here because they could get free land (or at least cheap land) and have a chance to escape the poverty they faced under the established economic and social hierarchy in their homelands. They battled againstthe land and the climate to give themselves a new chance. But what has now been created is a new hierarchy that closes the door to people trying to do the same things. You have to have a lot of money to even think about getting into farming. The price of that "free land" has grown immensely. Once you get the land, you still have to buy expensive machinery to work the land. If, for instance, you wanted to go into the dairy business, you'd have to buy a milk quota, another stumbling block to those trying to get started in farming. If you manage all these things by some wild chance, you'll still likely go broke within five years because the cycles of the farm pricing system won't provide enough money for you to pay the interest charges on all the money you've had to borrow. If you don't go broke, well you probably had enough money and DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'll bet enough business savvy that you this problem has never appeared should have put to work in some in your column before, at least not other line of business where you in the eight years I've been could really make money. reading it.
