hill continued. "I hope this higher trend
clues not continue for another year."

Hearing hears
Tough opposition to the idea of a lagoon
system of sewerage treatment for the
village of Blyth was recorded when the
Environmental Hearing Board of the
Ministry of the Environment was held on
Tuesday morning in Memorial- Hall.
The hearing considered only one
possible lagoon site, two miles west of the
village on the properties of Chris Cowan,
John Nonkes and Herb Glousher, some two
miles west of the village. It also considered
four possible sites for a sewerage
treatment plant: two sites on the farm of
$50 offered
for design
of town crest
Blyth is going to get a new village crest,
and someone is going to get a nice prize for
designing it.
Village Council voted Monday night to
set up a contest for the design of a crest for
the village and offer a first -prize of $50 for
the designer.
Reeve Robbie Lawrie noted that with the
village's centennial corning up in 1977 the
town would have need of such a symbol.
Council also donated 5250 toward the
operation of the Blyth Summer Festival
which will bring a summer theatre program
to Blyth. The theatre will be putting some
$400 back into the town's coffers through
hall rentals.
The town wasn't so generous, however,
when it came to a request for money from
the Ontario Architectural Conservancy
which it turned down flat,
The council approved building permits to
Falconer Brothers for a three bedroom
hone on King Street, Jim Howson for an
addition to his house on Dinsley Street and
Paul Josling for a house on Hamilton
Street.
Council also noted that the P.U.C. has
adopted a policy calling for homeowners to
pa'y for 100 per cent of the cost of servicing
the lot with hydro and water.
At an earlier special meeting of council
permission was given for the connection of
a four -inch drain to the Code Drain from

for 'treatment plant,
Murray Sicrtsema, one near the river and
one on North street near the Old Anglican
cemetery; one site on the farm of Adrian
Vosjust west of the village limit adjacent to
the southern portion of the C.P.R. right of
way and the fourth site on the farm of
Mason Bailey at the east limit of the
property with access gained through the
farm of Adrie Bos.
Steve Burns of the firm of B. M. Ross
and ,Associates of Godcrich explained the
three locations. He said the lagoon site
proposed was the only one the firm could
find with the right soil and topographical
conditions. The site would require the
purchase of 100 acres of land vith 40 acres
to be used for the lagoon and tihc rest of the
property to be a buffer zone. The sewerage
treatment plant would require two acres of
land for the actual facilities and 10 acres in
all with the rest to be a buffer zone against
future urban development.
The hearing started off on a bit of a sour
note when Councillor William Howson
asked if all the land owners affected had
been notified. John Timcoe, Project'
Manager for the Ministry said a firm had
been contracted to notify all owners in
question and seek to gain options on all
properties in guestion. Adrian Vos said
that the first Notification he had received
had been when he received a registered
letter from the Hearing. Board notifying
him of the meeting,
Mr. Vos, asked if all 10 acres would be
needed for the plant. Mr. Timcoe
explained that the property not used for the
actual building could probably be leased.
back to the farmer for farm use or in some
cases given to the municipality for use as
parkland, He said he could see no objection
to letting the farmers use the land$or farm
production. .
Mr. Vos said he was willing to sell his
land for the site, if the compensation was
satisfactory. He said he thought the
sewerage treatment plant was "the thing
to have" rather than a lagoon facility. He
said using 100 acres for the lagoon site is
"just plain silly". He also objected to the.
lengthy sewerage pipe necessary to
connect the town with the lagoon site and
the fact it would pass over his farm and,
several others.
Mr. Sicrtsema asked that the first
proposed site on his farm be moved 200
feet to the west where it would not be in the
middle of good agricultural land and the
land lost wouldn't really hurt his farm, He
said he would have no objection to this
location but said he did not like the second
proposed site since it was right in the farm
and in an area that may be built by future
village expansion.
John Nonkes said that the loss of 20
acres out of his 100 -acre farm to
accommodate a lagoon would severely

•Blyth Reeve Robbie Lawrie said the
village was in favour of a treatment plant
rather than a lagoon facility.
Mr. Timcoe said he understood people's
concern over saving farm land but pointed
out that the cost of operating a sewerage
treatment plant is high while a lagoon has
relatively low operating costs. He said it
appears that the cost of building a lagoon
or a plant will be about the same but the

Council stalls by-law
to fence swimming pools
A proposed by-law to force the
installation of fencing around all private
swimming pools was tabled without action
at the monthly meeting of Blyth village
council on Monday night.
There was plenty of discussion on the
subject before the tabling motion was
passed. Under the motion by Councillors
William Howson and Con Van Vliet, the
subject will be brought up for re-examina-
tion at the November meeting.
The bylaw was prepared by the County
of Huron as a model by-law for
municipalities to follow. It calls for
installation of a 60 -inch fence around all
swimming pools holding water of more
than 12 inches in depth. It would require
pool owners . to gain a certificate of
inspection from the local building inspector
after installation and have it renewed
annually,
Councillor Howson felt the by-law was
not required at this time because there
were no few pools in town. Councillor Fred
Carson opposed the tabling motion saying
it was only delaying the inevitable. He said
there would be more and more pools being'
installed and that the by-law should be on
the books to handle the situation.
in other business, council has approved
the application for funds for the Village
under the provinces Ontario Home
Renewal Program. The program is open to
families earning less than 12,500 per year
for essential improvements to their hones.
Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh said there has
been problems in some municipalities
because the people who should be applying
aren't and others are. One municipality, he
said, had had 74 applications and not one
was eligible for assistance.
Council agreed that the loans would be
given on a "first come first served" for
those qualified.
The Ontario Housing Corporation is
proceeding with the purchase of the plot of
land on Queen Street from the village for
use as the site of the senior. citizens
apartment building. Once 'the purchase is
complete, the project will go to the design
phase. The architect's design will come
back to the council for final approval.
Hopefully, Mr. Walsh said, the building
will get started in the fall.
It was learned that council will have to
issue debentures for only $8500 in
connection with the costs of renovating
Memorial Hall, Earlier council had
estimated it would have to debenture for
some $17,000 on the project.
It was learned that the Lions Club is
definitely going ahead with plans for a
bowling green for the Lions park. Although
the Lions will be providing the money, the
expenditures on the project will be
channeled through the Recreation Commit-
tee budget to take advantage of grants.

Renewed calls for gun control laws
BY MURRAY GAUNT
M.P.P. [HURON -BRUCE)
Following the tragedy in
Brampton this week, with which
we arc all familiar, the Attorney
General John Clement was
questioned in the Legislature
about tighter gun control laws.
Registration of all rifles and
shotguns as a way of tightening
gun controls would do nothing
more than "accumulate paper",
Mr. Clement said,
He went on to further state that
the problem is accessibility to
weapons rather than an issue of
registration.
"If you made it compulsory
that all who own firearms,
regardless of their size, must
register, then those unlawful
elements in society who probably
are in possession -of stolen
weapons, or unregistered wea-
pons, at the proper time will not
conic forward," he continued,

The Tong awaited teacher
legislation is likely going to be
introduced next week by Educa-
tion Minister Tom Wells.
The Act would set out whether
or not the Province's 104,000
teachers have the right to strAe.
The Act has been promised for

Before they're released
though, the fingerlings are placed
in mesh -covered thanks,. where
they are fed daily until laic

reached a ' respectable size for

Former Blythite,
MRS. CLAUDIA WILFORD
The death of Mrs. Claudia
Wilford occurred suddenly in
Alexandra Marine and General
Hospital, Goderich, on May 26, in
her 90th year.
The late Mrs. Wilford was the
eldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs.
Chas. Gavilier of Grand Valley,
Ontario, and the wife of the late
Dr: E. C. Wilford of Blyth,
Ontario. Dr. and Mrs. Wilford'
went as bride and groom to West
China in 1909, missionaries under
the former Methodist Church.
They served there for 40 years.
Dr. Wilford was the chief surgeon
and instructor of surgery in the
West China Union University, in
Chengtu, West China. The
political situation in China forced
the Wilford family to remain in
Canada for part of the 1920's. -
In 1926 only men were allowed
to return to China and the Dr. was
greatly needed there. So Mrs.
Wilford and the children came to
Blyth to live. While in Blyth Mrs.
Wilford taught piano and was an
enthusiastic worker in the
Community, and particularly in
Queen Street United Church.
John and Muriel attended Blyth
School. About 1928 the Dr. came
home. He practised for a month in
Goderich while Dr. H. Taylor was
ill and briefly for Dr. W. Oakes in
Clinton, then he took up • a
practice in Oil Springs.
In 1930 The Mission Board
asked him to go back to China.
Mrs. Wilford, John and Patsy
returned with him. Muriel re-
mained in Canada to continue her

visitors.
The Radford game conserva-
tion area, now a landmark in
Huron county, has become
famous for its deer herd also. Last
autumn its population numbered
I2, among therm several adult
bucks.
"They were becoming danger-
ous" said Mrs. Radford;
"0n one occasion a visitor was
attacked by one -of the stags and
was injured badly enough as to
require hospital treatment. Be-
cause of a possibility of similar
incidents occuring, four of the
stags were taken out and released
in Morris township."
The Radfords have not yet
moved out to their summer estate
cottage because as Mrs. Radford,
explained, "it's lonely out there
with no one around. We generally
wait until our two grandchildren,
Shelley and Valerie Wasson are
finished with their classes so they
can be with us when we go."

studies. Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Ross
also went to West China at this
time. Upon retirement from
China in 1949, the Wilfords lived
in Toronto. The Dr. took up
practice again and Muriel, John
and Patsy all graduated as
Medical Doctors. All three of
then had been born in China.
Mrs. Wilford, a graduate from
Toronto Conservatory of Music
had post graduated in Music
Teaching and Piano Tuning also.
In both Canada and China she
taught piano, organ and voice,
and she was the only one in
Chengtu city who could tune
pianos.
Mr,. Wilford is lovingly
remembered for her delightful
sense of humour, her gracious
hospitality to people from all
walks of life and her willingness
to help wherever possible. Her
wide circle of friends around the
world know her appreciation for
all the kindnesses shown to her.
Recently Mrs. Wilford made her

Ironic timing
for right to strike
It seems like ironic timing that brought the announcement last week
from Education Minister Thomas Wells of the granting of the right to
strike to teachers only about a week after a record pay settlement for
Huron County's secondary school teachers.
One wonders what the right to strike can really gain for the teacher
that they haven't already gained, Secondary school teachers are now
among the highest paid segments of the economy. They have among
the best fringe benefit packages anywhere. including upwards of three
months annual vacation.
Still, the move by Mr. Wells can only he regarded as realistic.
Whether they had the right to strike or not, teachers have been striking
to►r several years now. They have been making a mockery of the present
laws and making both the system and themselves look a little foolish.
Things certainly can't get much worse now that the right to strike has
been granted.
It seems one more case, however, of the rich getting rich and the
poor poorer. Teachers, at least the secondary school variety, have
earned more than many other segments of society for some time now,
Through a tough bargaining organization they are jumping farther out
in front of some other professions. They now have the right to strike.
But some people who were a long way behind in the Inst place are
falling daily farther behind because they lack the organization and the
political clout to win a fairer share of the economic pie. Somehow soon
we must begin to deal with the problems of this part of society or we
are certainly in trouble. This is far front a "just society" and it's
getting farther from it daily.
Canny Davis may have
waited long enough
Many people wondered after the fat budget the provincial
government brought down a few weeks back, why Premier Davis didn't
call a spring election? Last week the reason became more clearer.
A poll, commissioned by the New Democratic Party showed that the
Conservatives have now slipped to third place in popularity in the cities
of over 30,000 population (where most of the Ontario voters live). The
N.D.P. has surpassed the Conservatives and now holds second place to
the Liberals who still lead the pack, but with a )ower margin than
before.
That would sound like bad news for the Conservatives, but it may
actually be good news in disguise. The problem for the Conservatives
was that it seemed to be shaping up to a battle between themselves and
the Liberals with the N.D.P. a minor factor in the election. Faced with
such a choice it was quite possible that the voters would decide it was
time for a change and put the Liberals into office.
On the other hand, now that the N.D.P. seetns to be making a
stronger showing, the Conservatives can see hope. They would rather
fight the N.D.P. than the Liberals as shown in the last provincial
election whey they concentrated on the threat of a socialist government
in the province and virtually ignored the Liberals. The result was a
polarizing of the vote with a wide margin going to the Conservatives
because many voters didn't want a socialist government and felt the
Conservatives were the only alternative.
With luck, Mr. Davis may now be getting himself into the same
position now as in 1971. Who would bet that the canny Conservatives
can't pull another election victory out of what now seems a certain
defeat?
Do you work
for democracy?
Are you eligible to vote? If so do you vote? If you answered the
second question with NO then you have something to be ashamed of
rather than proud.
You say "but I didn't know who to vote for as I didn't know very
much about them". My reply to that is to obtain information about the
candidates by 1) Talking with the candidates 2) talking it over with
other voters to see what their opinions are 3) obtaining pamphlets or
reading articles about the candidates and their aims if they are chosen
4) talk shows and television programs as well as many other means.
Many countries do not have a democratic government and how they
envy us. We are privileged to have the opportunity to choose the man
or woman that best represents our views or to even enter -as a
candidate. Each person in every part of the government helps in some
way to determine the laws, privileges and other factors of our everyday
life, It is through them that we voice our opinions until it reaches the
top of the scale in government, is presented and then the decision is
made by the principle, Majority rules,
We as Canadians, with a free country and a democratic government
cannot expect to always have the privilege to vote if we do not
participate now when we are able to. God intended the countries to be
free, that we as citizens should all participate in making our country the
best it can bc. it is our duty and joy to make this country Canada the
best it can be and to enjoy the freedom granted by the God of heaven.
, It may be to late to share in the past elections but there will be more
and in the meantime we can let our representatives know about our
views and that we stand behind them. in return they will try to the best
of their ability. Next time vote for the one you stand behind and then
continue to support him or her,•Contributed by a citizen

Events are moving rapidly to a
successful conclusion at the local
Cheese Factory, which is being
built and operated by the Blyth
Farmers' Co-operative Associa-

factory will be in production. The
entire building, which formerly
housed the Blyth Planing Mill,
has been rapidly rushed to a
conclusion. When the plant is
finished it will rate as second to
none, and will be equipped with
the latest in machinery. Installa-
tion of the boiler' has been
completed, and a fire has been
started so that it will dry out
gradually. Cold storage experts
are busy equipping the storage
room. Practically all the machin -

operations is there and ready to
be installed, The planing mill
machinery has all be moved into
an adjoining building where it is
again set up and in operation.
Everyone knows that ,lohn W.

much higher.
Ross Youngblut argued that the location
of the lagoon would cut oft' municipal
drains for several farms in the area. He
also said that he "could practically throw a
stone into the lagoon" from his house. He
argued it would devalue his house. He also
argued that many lagoons cause 0 fly
problem in the area.
Mr. Timcoe said that it was almost
impossible to find a place where a lagoon
would not be fairly near someone's house,
but said the lagoon would not bb as close to
Mr. Youngblut's house as the thought. He
also said that while some lagoons did bring
arguments about attracting flies, many
others had no fly problem at all.
Doug Fortune, President of the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture asked if
in preparing the cost estimates of the two
alternative treatment facilities had the cost
of moving and repairing municipal drains
been included, and the effect of the forced
main to serve the lagoon on the farms it
crossed. Mr. Timcoe said that final cost
figures had not been obtained since this is
still in the rough planning stage. Mr.
Burns said the location of the forced main
had not been fixed but Wright go along the
railway right-of-way or along the right of
way of county road 25 and only as a last
resort through the farm in question.
Chris Cowan wondered what the plans
were for his house and barn which would
be effected by a proposed lagoon. He was
told that these would be purchased as part
of the initial cost of the project. They could
be leased back to him if he wished. Mr,
Cowan said that he is presently running a
40 cow herd on his farm' and if he lost 25
acres to the lagoon he would have to cut
Mrs.
against lagoon system of sewage treatment
down the size of his herd.
The Huron Federation of Agriculture
presented a brief to the hearing saying it
supported a treatment plant for the village
as "the best system for Blyth and the
community at large."
The brief argued that the lagoon would
create severe economic hardships for the
three farmers whose land is involved. It
also pointed out that six farms would be
effected by the line to bring sewerage to
the plant,
The brief argued that other lagoons
showed down -stream pollution problems
and that air and water pollution greatly
reduced the value of adjacent properties. It
pointed out that all the owners of the
treatment site locations were willing to sell
while all the lagoon site owners were
opposed.
Mr. Timcoe argued against the
downstream pollution argument saying
that the lagoon only discharged once a year
for a 1,0 to 15 day period in the spring while
the' treatment plant discharged daily
meaning there is more chance of pollution.
Mason Bailey said that as an Ontario
Federation of Agriculture director the
O.F.A. had had a policy of favouring
treatment plants over lagoons wherever
possible because of the saving on land
costs. As a real estate broker, he said, he
could certainly back Mr. Youngblut's claim
that the value of his property would be
diminished. Mr. Vos said that the cost of
the lagoon goes far beyond the actual
construction costs. He said three farms
would be made uneconomic farming units.
He said it was unfair to make three or
possibly eight farmers pay in order to try to
save money on the treatment of sewerage
from the village,
Neil McMullen of the Sarnia office of the
Ministry was asked what difference in the
quality of water in the stream from both the
lagoon and the treatment plant. He said
the water quality people from his office had
done a lot of study on the possible effect
because, of (he importance of the Blyth
Creek as a brook and rainbow trout stream.
He said they were confident that the
effluent from either system would not
seriously effect the habitat of the fish.
.lack Currie, East Wawanosh township
councillor asked Mr. Timcoe what he
thought Blyth residents would think if they
had to live near a lagoon like the one on the
edge of London on Springbank Drive.
Mr. Timcoe said the odour from the
London lagoon was of the immense size
which was many times the size of the
proposed site for Blyth. He compared it to
a wheel barrow full of manure for Blyth
compared to a whole manure pile for
London.
Mr. Currie said he lived near the
Wingham lagoon and had encountered no
problems with smell or water quality. He
said the water quality was much better
than before the plant was installed,
Bob Taylor, president of the East
Wawanosh Federation of Agriculture
presented a brief opposing a lagoon. He
also raised the question of the problems of
the Listowel lagoon. Mr. Timcoe argued
that the Listowel lagoon is one of the oldest
around and the Ministry is working hard to
correct the problems.
Mr. Nonkes wondered where the
farmers could expect to find land to replace
the land they'd lose if the lagoon was built.
He wondered why Mr. Timcoe was pushing
the lagoon.

Mr, '1'imcoe said it was his job to present
the alternatives. He was pushing the
lagoon system, he said, because it is a
reliable, economical method of treatment
of sewage. He said he also had to look out
for the interests of the taxpayers of Blyth
by trying to find the most economical
system of treatment,
Blyth councillor Fred Carson said nearly
all the talk had been 111 terms of economics.
He said people seemed to be talking about
short term economics and not worrvinl;
;about long-term disaster. if 100 acres is
used for a lagoon system for Blyth and
every other town in Ontario we're going to
run out of land at a faster rate than we
already are, he said. He quoted figures
that show that by the year 2,000 Canada
may have to import food because urban
sprawl has taken food producing land out
of production. He urged the Board to
consider this, and the human factor
involved in taking land from the farmers in
question when it made its decision.
Harold Gross pointed out that not long
ago he had tried to sell three acres of land
he felt was so poor it was not possible to
farm it. But the land division cotnmittee
refused to give permission to severe the
parcel because it would be taking farmland
out of production. if he was forced to keep
this rather poor farm land in farming, he
said, how could people now consider taking
100 acres of excellent farm land out of
production?
David Morton, chairman of the hearing
said the three members of the board
present would take their findings back to a
meeting of the entire board at which time a
final recommendation would be held as to
which of the five alternatives to approve.

The Empty Pew Minister's Study
BY W. JENE MILLER
Only one thing causes a bank to
"Fail": that is when a depositor
goes to get his money and the
hank can't produce it, It makes no
difference whether the money is
wcll•investcd and the investment
failed, or because some employee
absconded with the money, And
there was a time when lots of
banks "went broke".
One banker was in trouble with
the 13anking officials because he
liked his neighbours' and would
make "risky" loans to their
businesses. The bank made its
payments. but the directors were
taken over by some unscrupulous
- interests who fired the kindly
hanker to replace hire with a
cautious man. And then, some of
the business firms who had
depended on cretin also went
broke,
Churches go broke for the same
reason and that is still the only
reason churches do.
People carie along raid saw the
Church offering itself as the
depository of Love. "Put your life
into our hancls", the Churches
said, "and we'll invest than for
you in God's Kingdom, and pay
1,
you dividends in Love and
forg'vencss."
And people gave their lives to
the Church, and asked for Love
and the Church had only its fears
and race -national -religious hat-
rece to repay debts of Love with.
And people quit going to
churches and quit investing their
hard•earned lives in then.
'!'hat's ‘vhv I believe in the
"organized" systems as the
greatest of All denominational
systems! "Denomination" is
God's F.D.LC.!
Sometimes preachers fail to be
what a congregation needs, and
sometimes congregations need a
preacher to "audit" their love!
Mission begins in heart
BY REV. CECiL WITTICH
BLYTH UNITED CHURCH
We are familiar with the saying, "Mission begins at home". 1 would
go a step further and say, "Mission begins in the heart."
The Rev. Bryan Green, a minister of the Church of England, in his
book, "The Practice of Evangelism'', says that before there is any
great concern for evangelism or missions, there must be a missionary
spirit in the heart.
Jesus knew the wisdom of such an approach when he worked with
his disciples. Before he sent them into all the world with the Gospel, he
waited until their hearts were tilled with his Spirit.
It is only natural that before we will have any real urge to make
Christ known, he must first of all be known in ottr own hearts. It is also
quite reasonable that before we will have any compelling desire to
contribute to the alleviation of human need that we must first of all
be overcome by the selfless love of Christ. Such was the experience of
John Wesley, the leader of the Methodist movement,
John Wesley came to America as a missionary. It wasn't long before
he became disheartened, He returned to England, ready to give up as a
minister of the Gospel. Then, he had his conversion experience of
which he said, "i felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in
Christ, and Christ alone for salvation. And that he took niy sins, even
mine, and saved nie from the law of sin and death". After that, Wesley
claimed the whole world as his parish.
The Rev. Gordon Cosby, founder of the Church of the Saviour in
Washington, D.C., stages, "The Church ►vill never be motivated
outward until it takes a journey inward", What he says of the Church,
is also true of the individual.

Walton U.C.W. units hold general meeting
All units of the United Church
Women met together for the
general meeting 00 Wednesday
evening, May 28, at the Duff's
United Church.
Walton Unit was in charge of
the devotions when they animat-
ed some of the program that was
used at the Presbyterial Annual
meeting recently, as an historic
occasion to honor the Jubilee
year -a 50th Anniversary.
Mrs, Ruth Thanier opened with
the singing of the Anniversary
hymn. Mrs. Marjory Huethcr was
the pianist. Mrs, Jean Bewley
read the celebration opening, The
past speaks, the present resp-
onds, the future beckons. Years
ago, women responded to this
Presence, As they gathered
together,in tiny companies, little
did they realize they were staking
history, But eventually, these
small gatherings formed the
W,M.S. of the Methodist, Congr-
egationr'I, and Presbyterian Chur-
ches. Often the gatherings of
women were interdenominational
•they were too few to be
exclusive, Out of this soil came
the first experiments in organic
union that produced the United
Church. At the time of union in
1925 all three denominations had
national women's boards decline
primarily with W.M.S, work.
Those taking part in the
program were:Mrs, Berva Wat-
son representing the Methodist
Church, Mrs. Esther Watson
representing the Congregational
Church, Mrs. Lcenic Achilles
representing the Presbyterian
Church, Mrs. Pauline Bennett
representing The W,M.S.. Mrs.
Marie Bennett representing the
W.A., Mrs. Kathy Achilles
representing the Huron U.C.W„
Mrs, Aline Dundas representing
the Perth U.C.W., Mrs. Carol
Collins representing the E.U,B,-

Mrs. Annie Reid was the first
President of the U.C.W, She told -
of ninny of the happenings in the
1930's, Mrs, Phyllis Mitchell
addco more memorable events in
the past,
The Great Parade record was
played throughout the program,
everyone joining in with the choir,
Mrs, Audrey Hackwell read the
scripture from Romans 8. Mrs,
Betty McCall read a letter writtin
from a W.M.S. member on Nov,
7, 1928. Mrs. Mildred Traviss
read a letter from the Archilles in
Toronto,
Mrs. Elva Bolger read the
prayer. Mrs. Edna Hackwell and
Mrs. Dorothy Sholdicc gave their
findings of the "Great Debate",
on the enthusiam of women to
work toward the total mission of
the church, together with the
shortage of ministers and their
concern for the lack of religious
instruction of children.
On this history marking occa-
sion we remember with Thanks-
giving our heritage in our church.
A moment's silence was observed
in nienmoriant of those who
through generations have passed
on the knowledge into society and
community. The Past has spoken
and now The Present Reponds.

in -town busing
discussed at
board meeting
BY ROSS HAUGH
A recent issue of providing bus
transportation to Huron County
school students residing more
than one mile from schools in
three towns was reopened at
Monday's meeting.
A move at the April meeting by
Goderich trustee Cayley Hill to
provide busing for elementary
students in Goderich outside the
one mile limit was defeated.
Hill's original attempt came
after a delegation of Goderich
parents attended the February
meeting showing concern over
the safety of their children when
they had to walk long distances to
classes,
After considerable discussion
Monday, Hill agreed to withdraw
a motion to operate buses on a
trial basis from mid-November to
mid-April. He agreed to have the
board's administration determine
"Where the need is."
The other Goderich trustee on
the board Mrs, Dorothy Wallace
opposes the busing proposal. She
told the board, "All of the
students in question are in grades
seven and eight and should be
able to walk to school."
She continued, "As a taxpayer
I would object to the expenses of
paying for buses out of one pocket
and helping the government pay
for Participaction ads from the
Other pocket. i can sec a real can
of worms being opened here."
Hill agreed with other trustees
that the need is "basically for
small children". He added, "I
originally had a number of
concerned people talking to Inc
but since the matter was rejected
two months ago 1 have not heard
from any of them."

S.W.E.E.P.
underway again
Project S.W.E.E.P. (Students
Working in an Environmental
Enhancement Program), a
summer employment program
initiated by the Ontario Govern-
ment, will be re-classified by a
new 'title in 1975.
The new program is covered by
the Provincial Government's
"Ontario Experience '75."
Known as Program 26, provi-
sions are made for conservation
and environment work of a
manual, clerical and technical
nature. .
Program 26 is operated, as was
Project S.W.E.E.P, in co-opera-
tion with the 38 Conservation
Authorities across Ontario.
"Experience '75" is designed
to provide 7,500 jobs for the
summer in different provincial
ministries.
With the implementation of
Program 26 approximately 1,190
positions will be available for
secondary and post -secondary
students.
The total Government budget
for Program 26 is estimated at
2,034 million dollars.
Through such programs under
"Experience '75" it is hoped that
students will gain, not only
practical conservation experi-
ence, but, a conservation
consciousness toward their
environment.

competed in two field days, one at

PLEASE LIMIT TOWN DELIV RIES TO T ,RSDAY
AND FRIDAY FOR THIS WEEK ONLY
BY BILL SMILEY
I know my readers have been
waiting with bated breath for
Smiley, who scents to be against
most things, to launch his
expected fiery attack en federal
MPs for giving 1henstIves a
magnificent pay increase.
Sorry, chaps, I'll just have to
disappoint you this time, for a
couple of reasons.
First oI' all, I could speak with
the tongue of angels, or devils,
and the boys in the Big House
would ignore it. If they wouldn't
pay any attention to John
I)iefenbaker, %vhn speaks in such
tongues, they certainly wouldn't
to 13111 Smiley.
Second of all. and the main
reason I have not erupted, is that
I think our federal elected
members should have enough
money so that they will be Tree
trout temptation, and so that the
position does not become one only
for wealthy people who can afford
to be an M P, because they have
other income.
I know, and it is true, that MPs
THE BLYTH STANDARD, JUNE 4, 1975. PG. 13.
Smiley won't complain about pay
hike for the MPs
have some other perks: free
mailing, travel privileges, meal
and accommodation payments
while on government business,
allowances for offices and secre-
taries.
In cash, their income, at
$34,600, is worth more than
$40,000 because of a good chunk
of it is tax-free, That's a pretty
fair income, even with inflation.
13t►t it's not wild luxury. It's not
exactly Arabian Nights. It's not
the sort of loot on which you are
going to have orgies or get rich.
I don't have to tell you -
becausc *they will tell you
themselves, at inordinate length -
thal an MI' has extraordinary
expenses. You've heard it all.
Riving up his business or
profession; keeping two homes;
being expected to contribute to
every cause in his tiding,
however, trivial: being expected
to entertain when homer and
Emily drop in on him al Ottawa;
having to buy 8 raffle ticket on
anything going, and 50 on. It's a
lot of chickenfeed that builds up
into a pile uf' dollars.
If somebody asks me to give a
donation 10 the South North-
umberland Society for the Pre -

Cats. I can tell him 10 get stuffed,

Exeter school addition
now likely to proceed
BY ROSS HAUGH
Hopes for further renovations
to the Exeter public school were
renewed at Monday's Huron
Board of Education meeting when
trustees learned of approval from
the Ontario Ministry of Educa-
tion.
The Exeter renovations project
estimated at $200,000 was on the
Huron board's original program
for renovations and alterations in
1975. In March, Huron's entire
capital works budget of $850,000
was rejected by the education
ministry.
The Ministry's regional
director D. W. Scott told the
board in a. letter, "after careful
consideration of a list of urgent
projects for which insufficient
capital allocation was available in
the Western Ontario region for
1975, the Minister has approved
the assignment of additional
funds to the Huron County Board
of Education for Exeter Public
School in the amount of
$200,000,"
Additional work at the school is
to include improvement of light-
ing and ventilation systems,
construction of a stage and
dressing rooms and provision•of
additional offices for guidance
and health rooms.
After Monday's meeting, a
board spokesman said an archi-
tect would probably bring pre-
liminary proposals to the next
board meeting.
TO CONTINUE EARLIER
MEETINGS
A recent change in board policy
to hold the regular meetings on
the first Monday of each month
will be continued until the end of
1975 at least.
The decision to switch from the
third Monday to the first Monday
of each month was made in
March. In moving the continua-
tion, Goderich trustee Cayley Hill
said, "1 think this has been
beneficial."
Director of Education D. J.
Cochrane added, "1 like the idea.
Find a
running
mate
Pganannc ion
Everything is brought to the
board first and then delegated to
the proper committee if
'necessary. All board members
arc aware of every new sugges-
tion."
Approval was also given to the
summer schedule of board
meetings. A July board meeting'
will be at the call of the chairman
and the August session will be
held on Monday, August 18 at
7:30 p.m. with committee meet-
ings to follow,
gamely, and hawk up a five. And
so it goes.
This is no apology for M Ps.
They are the ones who should be
apologizing. Not for the increase.
But for the incredible ineptness of
the tinting. Out of one side of
their mouths, they are supporting
a porgram of restraint for
business and labor. Out of the
other side they are muttering a
shamefaced "Aye", or absenting
themselves for the vote, when it
comes to giving themselves an
increase that is 92 per cent over
what they were making in 1970.
admired those MPs who
bluntly said they needed the
increase and would vote for it.
have nothing but contempt for
those who snuck in on their
braver brothers' and sisters'
coatails.
Nor do I have much time for
people like Dicfenbaker, who
made a grandstand play out of it
by imbuing the finger of scorn' at
others, At his age, and with no
family, ,incl no political future, he
doesn't need it. He's gi,l a fat
pension, plus the old -age pen-
sion, waiting for him,
But his leader, Robert Stan-
field the millionaire, doesn't need
it either, and he voted for the
icnrease, for the sake ul' others,
who do Ileecl it.
It seems like a lot of money, but
it forces some questions. Is an
MI' with all his extra expenses,
worth more than a letter carrier -
live times more, in cash?
Should an MP beworth about
the sank as two and a half high
school teachers? Is he worth Tess,
from an income point of view,
than an Air .Canada pilot, who
flies a maximum of 75 hours a
month, for just over $50,000?
Is the MP as valuable, in cash
terms, as about three steel-
workers?
If your answer to these
questions is no, then you are,
either a letter carrier, or school
teacher, a pilot, a steelworker, or
a damfool.
When an MP received $10,000
a year for about five months work,
and was able to keep his own
business or profession going, he
was rich.
Today, how many first rate
professional men, who have
worked hard to build a practice
that is bringing in $50,000 a year,
are going to throw it up for the
hazards of a political career,
where it alight be here today and
gone tomorrow?
At the other end of the financial
scale, the bright able young man
or woman who has a low income
and could not possibly finance a
rum for parliament, will he
encouraged to take a shot at it.
There's no point in saying:
"I'ay Ilan what 1 iey'rc worth."
Some MI's would be in the
bread -line and others would be
millionaires.
Hui there is some point in

giving the office some dignity,
economically as well as socially
and politically.
Despite what you may think,
there is precious little corruption
in Canada at the MP level. Ali the
big money in corruption is at a
different level.
Let's keep it .that way. Pay a
Member of Parliament enought
so that: a) he is not tempted into
nefarious practices to make a
living; h) he or she does not have
to be wealthy to slake a run at it.
This way, we'll get the most for
our money.
But that pension plan for MPs
is another matter. I haven't space
here to comment on it. All I can
do is weep bitter tears and
suggest that never in the field of
human endeavor will so few have
been paid so much for so little.

Paul Carroll to again lead N.D.P. in Huron -Middlesex
BY CHRIS ZDEB
"People come first with the
NDP," Paul Carroll of Goderich
told an NDP nomination meeting
on May 28 after being elected the
party's Huron -Middlesex candi-
date for the next provincial
election.
The 31 -year-old vice-principal
of Seaforth Public School defeat-
ed Philip Walker, 40, a former
hotel manager in Grand Bend
with an 11.7 vote. Mr. Carroll ran
unsuccessfully as the NDP
Huron -Middlesex candidate in
the 1971 election and the 1973
by-election.
In his acceptance speech, Mr,
Carroll focused on the priority of
protecting prime agricultural
land, taking offence to an
editorial which appeared in the
May 15 Godcrich Signal -Star
entitled, "It's no crime."
Referring to the article he said,
"The editorial reads that if every
existing piece of agricultural land
in Ontario was put into full
production, we'd be faced with
overproduction. That could hardly
be the case when there are so
Many people starving in the
world,
"It goes on to say that farmland
can be easily reclaimed if there is
a shift in needs and priorities.
How would you like to have to
reclaim downtown Toronto?" he
asked.
"The editorial ends, that
industry needs land - some of it
prime agricultural land - It's the

way things are. Well, it may be
the way things are, but it doesn't
have to be that way."
Mr, Carroll said the editorial
was "a manifestation of our
troubled society," adding, that he
hoped it was written primarily to
taunt because it was "factually
inaccurate,"
He then turned his attention to
the opposition parties.
"Politics is a four-letter word
today," he said. "People have
reached a point of apathy.
"Many people ask me, 'Why
are you fighting? You're not
going to win." Well, I'm fighting
because the Liberals and the
Conservatives don't have any
policies or philosophies. The
Progressive Conservatives can
only stop a problem • they
practice crisis politics. The same
is true of the Liberals."
Mr, Carroll said the main
problem facing the Liberals was
division in the party's ranks over
various issues. He pointed out
however that he himself was not
on a power trip,
"Paul 'Taylor (Lib,•Carleton
East) is quoted as saying, 'Power
is the name of the game,' If that is
the name of the game then I want
no part of it."
