BLYTH, ONTARIO PRICE: 20 CENTS VOLUME 85 • NO. 362 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1975. Souvenir issue Some 10,000 expected at Thresher Reunion this weekend Some 10,000 persons are expected to invade Blyth this Friday, Saturday and Sunday looking for history to come to life. In Canada, history has always been considered a dull subject, Even dead. Canadian history has " until recently at least, been written as if the writer was seeking the answer to insomnia. The interesting parts have been ignored or written about so poorly that even those who actually took part in the events would probably start dozing if they had a chance to read about themselves, Likewise our museums are often warehouses for old items of reality which now seem unreal because we never get a chance to see what they were like when they were in use, But in a few places, at a few times, history comes to life. One of those places is the annual Huron Pioneer Hobby and Thresher Association show in Blyth, better known to most locals as the Thresher Reunion, The show was first designed as a place for the men who owned the big steam engines and other old farm implements to have a place to show off their rather large toys. The Association is made up of persons whose hobbies are to find old farm equipments in old barns or lying the long grass rusting, and slowly, with infinite care and love, put the machine back in working order. The first line of interest was the huge ,m engines that used to be the major mechanical source of power on the farm in the early part of the century. But later, people began to branch out, restoring early vintage gas tractors, old water pump motors, cars and trucks, threshing machines, and other odds and ends of machinery from an age now passed on. In this way the men of the association have done us a double service, rescuing the machinery from the junk heep and putting it back in shape, and at the same time giving us an opportunity to learn just how the machines worked, The Thresher Reunion virtually thrusts the visitor backward into history, Strolling through the grounds one is assaulted from all sides by the sight,' sound, feel and yes, even the smell of the way things used to be when these machiners used to be in action. The stars of the show are of course the powerfully ponderous steam tractors, most nearly three-quarters of a century old.By appearance, however, the could have rolled out of the factory the day before yesterday, Their owners have spruced them up with intimate care and they are probably cleaner today than they were when they were actually in daily use. One would think they are rather dull giants yet despite the predominance of black, there are splashes of colour that brighten the scene, Those living in Blyth know well in advance when the big steamers begin to arrive because the piercing shriek of the steam whistle echoes off every building in town. If you're standing beside one when it goes off, you may find yourself feeling a little numb in the ears for a few minutes. The machiners even have their own smell, a smell of mixed burning wood, hot metal and hot grease and oil. All the big steamers go on parade at the beginning of the show each afternoon, then settledown to the real business of work. One of the engines will take a turn at powering the big sawmill which is a permanent fixture on the grounds. The big circular saw munches its way through logs at a rapid rate usually so effortlessly that the steam engine hardly grunts at the task. Visitors find this display fascinating and there is always a large audience to see how logs are turned into usable lumber. Another engine meanwhile will be just over the fence powering a threshing machine. The machines (sometimes two are in )peration at the same time), operate More than 10,000 people are expected to attend the 1975 Huron Pioneer Hobby and Thresher Reunion in Blyth on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This is the 14th edition of the Reunion which seems to grow bigger and bigger each year. right in the middle of a grain field the way many of the old threshing operations used to, and blows straw into a heap on the ground. It is certainly a lesson in how farming used to be for many urban people who don't even know how farming is done today. A perrenial favourite at the show is the shingle cutting mill owned by Bayfield's Fred Mote. The mill only operates at scattered times during the day, but when it does, the audience that quickly gathers is fascinating by how a block of wood is turned into real shingles. Of course it isn't all work. Old fiddle experts get a chance to show what went on when the work was through at the old time, fiddling contest that takes place at the show. There's a step dancing contest too. And just in case all this makes one thirsty, there's a beer garden in the arena, Federation to hold candidates' nights It has become a tradition with the Huron Federation of Agriculture to organize a "meet the candidate's" night at election time. This year two of those meetings will' be held, one at Exeter for the riding of Huron -Middlesex and one at Wingham for the Huron -Bruce riding. On the night of September 11 at 8 p.m. the Exeter highschool will be the place where Liberal incumbent John (Jack) Riddell, Progressive Conservative James (Jim) Hayter and NDP candidate Paul Carroll will field questions from the audience. This audience is not confined to members of the federation but is open to any citizen who wants answers to some questions. On September 9 in the Wingham highschool at 8:30 p.m. Incumbent Murray Gaunt, and the to be named NDP candidate will respond, while the P.C.'s have not committed themselves as yet. If i.revious years' turnouts are repeated, we can expect large crowds of interested voters, PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 3, 1975.

PG. 1 Warden McKinley says restructuring now a dead issue The reaction of county council members to about five months work by the Huron County restructuring committee was unquestionably negative, according to Warden Anson McKinley who held a press conference 'Tuesday afternoon concerning last 'T'hursday's special restructuring committee meeting attended by most council members, "it was a blanket 00 to both proposals." stated Warden McKinley, "Councillors just didn't see enough benefits to the people." The restructuring committee had two suggestions for possible ways the courtly could be revamped: the first proposal called for eight arca municipalities to comprise the county with the all towns except Goderich, "being included with the arca municipalities; in the second proposal 12 area municipalities were suggested with the five major towns remaining as separate arca municipalities. The first proposal would have reduced local representation from 150 to 56 with county representation dropping from 45 to 16, The second proposal was less drKstic with local representation cut from 150 to 70 and county representation from 45 to 21, Warden McKinley said council could see no real value in reducing the number of representatives. He said it was the feeling that fewer councillors would be doing more work, but not much money would be saved because they would only pay themselves more for the extra duties. "History proves this is exactly what happens," the Warden said, 'I'hc Warden pointed out that the study showed once more that Huron County is already a progressive county with an exceptionally line system of government. He said many of the things other countries are gaining because of restructuring have been a way of life in Huron for years. Warden McKinley cited the number of county services - library, health, welfare, roads, planning, etc, • which have evolved naturally in Huron because of its unique county system "Other counties are restructuring to get what we already have," the warden explained. Co-operation, the warden noted, is the key. He said councillors were fully aware that evert if some municipalities were amalgamated, co-operation would be necessary. The warden felt county representatives were willing to co-operate to a greater extent for other specific county -wide services such as fire protection, police, recreation, garbage disposal etc. The restructuring committee was in- structed now to study the various services that could conic under county jurisdiction along with probable costs and methods, said the warden, He did not know when that report would be made to county council. The next neetiilg is October 3 but it is highly unlikely that any report from the restructuring committer will be available by then. The warden felt there could be public meetings in the future to determine the feelings of the citizens towards future county services. "For the moment the restructuring issue k dead," the warden said. Ile estimated it could be as much as two years before the committee's work is finished, however. Under the committee's eight -unit proposal, the following were suggested amalgamations, AshlieId, West Wawa - nosh, East Wawanosh and Colborne townships; Wingham, with 'I'urnbury and Howick townships; Blyth and Brussels with Morris and Grcy townships; Clinton, Goderich and Hullctt townships; Seaforth with'I'uckcrsnlith and McKillop townships; Zurich, Hensall, with Stanley and Hay townships; Exeter, with Stephen and Usbornc townships; the town of Goderich. Enrollment in Huron county schools drops again BY ROSS HAUGH Total -enrollment in schools under the jurisdiction of the Huron County Board of Education on the first day of school Tuesday was down 147 students from the corresponding day in 1974. At 'Tuesday's regular meeting of the board, director D. J. Cochrane released the figures compiled from information received from principals at noon hour. The number of students at the county's live secondary schools is up from a year ago but elementary students are on the decrease. The high school figure at noon Tuesday was 4,607 up 62 from 1974. Students at the elementary totalled 7,805. This is a decrease of 209 from last year. The biggest increase at the secondary level appeared at Goderich District Collegiate up to 932 from 890. Attendance at South Huron in Exeter totalled 1,067. Last year it was 1,040. The only other rise in attendance was at Seaforth where enrolment rose from 401 to 422, Recording decreases in student popula- tion were Central Huron in Clinton down to 975 from 991 and F. E. Madill in Wingharim where the decrease was 12 students down to 1,211. In elementary school circles the largest increases were at Robertson Memorial in Goderich where an increase from 496 to 532 and Colborne Central. The attendance rose there from 255 to 275, Other schools showing a rise in enrolment were Brookside, Grcy, Hullctt, Cathy Madill named Huron Pork Hostess An enthusiastic crowd of 1235 pork lovers partook of the annual Pork Barbcque and dance at the Seaforth Arena. Hundreds more had to.be turned away because the capacity of the barbeque operated by Leo Kroonen of Dublin was strained to the limit. After the delicious meal, competing for the honour to be Huron County Pork Hostess 1975 took place. Six lovely girls vied tor the title. After an interview with the three judges, who quizzed them on their knowledge of pork cooking and table display, each spoke for two minutes on the merits of pork. The judges were Mrs. Robert McKinley, Mrs. Murray Gaunt and Mrs. John Riddell, wives of Hurons' three representatives in 'Parliaments, and they awarded the Hostess crown to Miss Cathy Madill of Blyth. Second Place was 'taken by Miss Judy Miller of Dashwood. The ►unner ups were Miss Barbara Miller of Exeter, Miss Glenna Ellis of Clinton, Miss Teresa Ondrejicka of Exeter and Miss VanDoornik of Scaforth. Mr. Frank Bainton, President of Bainton's Old Mill in Blyth presented the winner with a beautiful suede pigskin jacket. The other contestants received a cheque from the Huron Pork Producers Association who sponsored the event. Miss Brenda Moore of Goderich township, who was 1974 Hostess, crowned the new Hostess and spoke briefly of her experiences during the year, when she had the title. • Goderich airport plans expansion The Goderich Airport Commit- tee unveiled some conscientious plans for the Goderich Municipal Airport that call for a three phase development of existing and new facilities at a cost of over $400,000. The Kleinfeldt Group of London showed its plans for the three phase development to the airport committee at its regular monthly meeting last Wednes- day. The plans call for the construction of a corporate hangar, 12 tee hangars, an administration building, a service hangar and parking facilities. The construction of the 8,000 square foot corporate hangar would involve a cost of $130,000 and construction of a 4,000 square foot service hangar would cost $65,000. The plans also included a 2,500 square foot ground floor admini- stration building at a cost of $65,000 with provisions for an additional 2,000 square foot second storey as the need arose. The estimated cost for the proposed 12 tee hangars in blocks was $142,000 but members of the committee were confident that CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 We are now ordering new 1976 models, so keep an eye out lin the near future for our great new cars an new car deals. CRAWFORD MOTORS CHRYSLER DODGE • PLYMOUTH WINGHAM ONTARIO 357-3862 Turnberry and Queen Elizabeth in Goderich. Total enrolment in schools for the trainable retarded is 65, one more than last year. On the decrease side of the ledger, Clinton public school was down to 565 from 603 and Victoria in Goderich was down 35 to 416. The board: *Set the salaries of night school principals at $500 per centre plus $2.50 for each student enrolled. *Authorized its signing officers to execute a quit claim deed whereby the Dashwood Boy Scout Troop may sell the former Sharon school property at Lot 21, Concession 5 of Stephen township. •Approved a field trip for 50 grade 13 students of South Huron high school in Exeter to Stokes Bay front October 13 to 15. The field trip is to- consolidate previous learning in biology and to study bog ecology, cave ecology and the general environment of the Bruce peninsula, South Huron teachers accompanying the students will be Jim Marshall and John Holmes *Referred to the management committee a request from the Scaforth Agricultural Society to receive financial aid from the school board in erecting a new fence between the school and fair board property. *Appointed trustees John Elliott and Ken Cooke to a committee to co-operate with the Hullctt recreation committee in arranging the proper transfer of the deed of the land at the Londesboro public school to allow erection of floodlights for the ball diamond. Were told that renovation of the Clinton public school heating system was continuing satisfactorily and it should be in operation by September. Trustees say no to urban busing proposed BY ROSS HAUGH The Huron Board of Education Tuesday afternoon unanimously rejected a sugges- tion that urban bus transportation be provided for pupils residing in excess of one mile from the school which they attend. The matter has been under discussion at several meetings this year and in June, the administration was asked to make a full investigation and determine where the service could be used. They returned a complete survey of the situation complete maps showing the territories in Goderich, Clinton, Wingham, Scaforth and Exeter where students lived more than a mile from the schools. Early in the year, Goderich trustee Cayley Hill attempted to have urban bus services introduced in Goderich on a trial basis. His proposal was defeated at that time. The other Goderich representative Dorothy Wallace opposed the move, The recent survey showed areas existed in all five towns where a number of students resided outside the one mile distance from schools. The only comment on the motion of Mrs. Wallace seconded by John Elliott to reject the proposal came from Jack Alexander, a trustee from Wingham. Alexander said, "Many schools have the same problem. It would be unfair to do this in one school and not all under the same conditions." in other business, the board: *Amended a previous resolution setting the salary of board courier Earl ,Young of Wingham. The Wingham man will.. receive $6,555.90 for his year's duties. Under the previous agreement he was to receive $8,506.68 but this was to include a service for the.Huron-Perth separate school board.

FABRICS BLYTH PE"4NE523••9675 r PG, 4, THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 3, 1975. A timely death Huron County Warden Anson McKinley says restructuring in the county is dead. Mr. McKinley said in a press conference this week that the majority of county councillors were strongly opposed to the two formulas for restructuring presented at a closed meeting last . Thursday. Froni what we've been able to (earn about the proposals it seems to have been the only smart move to make. Blyth and Morris were included in a municipal set up with Brussels and Grey. What does Grey know about Blyth and vice -versa. The principal behind restructuring still makes sense. 'There are more municipalities than are needed. There is a duplication of services and some overspending on administrative staff. And there is an unequal sharing of costs for some services notably recreation. But no one in all the discussings about reorganization has the courage to go out and do things right. Instead all they do is tinker with the system, usually to the detriment of all involved. In nearly all regional set ups as well as the proposals in Huron, numbers of people seemed to be all that mattered, not the people themselves. We need so many people for a base, the planners seemd to say, so we'll lump this town and these townships together and get it. it makes no matter that these areas don't have any comment bond; they just stick them together anyway. The idea of a common population base is the most ridiculous part of the whole affair. The only basis that can be adopted is one that strengthens the existing community boundaries. Each town and village in Huron now has an established trading pattern, built over many long years. There arc definite patterns as to where people go for recreation, for fire protection and for a hundred other little service items. By doing an indepth study of these patterns it would be possible for the council to come up with a reorganization which would reflect the present community structure. There would still be some problems in fringe areas where one neighbour might consider one town home and another might choose another, but these would be relatively minor compared with the horrid examples other reorganization schemes have given us. • But pending a truely fresh approach to the problem like the one • noted, the whole structure is better left intact than ruined with some throughtless tinkering. The impossible seems possible The weekend polls that show the Liberals in front of the Conservatives in the provincial election race show that the impossible may just become possible. The greatest advantage the Progressive Conservative Government of Bill Davis has had was that it appeared impossible that anyone could beat them. Undecided voters have shown over the years that they tend to jump on the bandwagon, picking the party that seems most likely to win. Therefore the Toronto Star poll which showed the Liberals leading with 42 percent of the committed vote as compared to 35 percent for the Conservatives is a great boost to the Liberals. It will help also to bolster the morale of party workers in the all importanttlast couple of weeks of the campaign. Once again the cracks in the Conservative exterior that seemed to be nicely patched up are appearing. Mr. Davis has been snapping at the press again for their coverage even though most of it seems to have been pro Davis. When Conservative official Ab Champion was asked to comment on the poll's results he said they didn't jive with Conservative figures and claimed that most of the people labelled as "refused to answer" in the poll were really Conservatives who simply refused to divulge their desire. Perhaps, but it seems to be grasping at straws. The election is still a long way away, of course and many things can, and probably will, happen in this mixed up province to effect the vote. But one sign is encouraging: this is that all three parties have been winning political points not by promising more, but by promising less. Both the Grits and the Tories in particular have been vying to see who can chop the most off existing government programs. It's a refreshing change from past elections when it was who could give away the most who won, only to have the taxpayer hit with a whopping bill when the winner tried to carry out the promises. Perhaps if the election gets a little tighter and Mr. Davis a little more desperate we may even do away with such costly bunglings as county school boards, regional health councillors and regional governments. What's sauce for the goose Labour Day celebrations provided a great platform for labour leaders across Canada to renew their tirade against Trade Minister Allistair Gillespie for his call for restraint in wage settlements. Shirley Carr, executive vice-president of the Canadian Labour Congress was one of those taking the opportunity to strike out, calling the attacks "unwarranted". She claimed that between 1971 and 1974 corporate profits rose at a much higher rate than wages and salaries. The fact remains, however, that this is 1975 and wage settlements are averaging twice the rate they are in the United States, putting Canada in a horrible position to compete on world markets. In that Mr. Gillepsie is absolutely right. Greed, Mrs, Carr seems to be saying, is all right on the part of the union worker, but terrible for a company. Unions have led in the past 75 years in the battle to regulate unscrupulous businessmen who made a killing at the expense of others. - Much of this regulation was necessary. There were a great many scoundrels in the business community. There still are. But the balance is swinging and it is now the unions who have the great strength..This strength combined with a greater militancy on the part of younger workers, who see the company as an ever -flowing fountain of money, has led to wage increases that would have sounded like fairy tales only a year ago. Something has to be done. The power of these irresponsible unions must be regulated just as the power of the irresponsible businessmen has been. This, however, is just not cricket, according to people like Mrs. Carr, Free enterprise, you see is wonderful as long as you're the top dog and the other guy's getting whipped. It's only bad when the situation is reversed. Spiney beauty Those were the days 5 years ago WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1970 Harold Badley has told us of the sighting of a rare bird on his son, Richard's farm in Morris township, recently. An albino fish crane was seen for two days inhabiting a pond on the premises. It was in the company of a grey crane and Harold tells us it is an absolute rarity for such birds to be born. The Blyth Horticultural Society held their first Flower Show on Saturday, September 5. The committee in charge were grati- fied with the interest shown by the community. Mrs. A. Mont- gomery won the Eaton trophy for the highest number of points. Mrs. Edgar Howatt was runner- up winning the Simpsons Sears award. These were presented by the district president, Mrs. Klei. Blyth intermediates took part in the Goderich fastball tournament last weekend and won a game before being eliminated from the event. They defeated Varna 7-5 on Friday evening and lost to Dominion Roads 9-1 on Saturday. 10 years ago WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1965 The fall school term commenc- ed Tuesday for 204 pupils attendingthe BlythPublich ► School.

Writers hit at editorial letter TO THE EDITOR AND THE PUBLIC; Last week there were two articles published in regard to the liquor question. I read the letter from "No Lush" and was distressed by his complete lack of understanding in regard to the nature and purpose of Rev. Carson's and Jayne Hoogstcen's letters. Their opinions were honestly given, they showed a concern for their fellow human beings and they suggested constructive alternatives, (They also signed - their names), They do not preach total abstention, nor accuse all of Blyth with a liquor problem; neither do they close their eyes to the problem which we do have. "No Lush" may have no personal drinking problem, but he shares the community drinking problem nevertheless. He is part of the community and has a responsi- bility for those less fortunate than himself, If he docs not see this as his responsibility, I think it a shame but I'm not surprised - In many ways Blyth `, is not a community. In any case, the "chosen few" have as'much right to speak as lie does so he shouldn't try to tcar them down for wanting to make Blyth a better community. The editor's article is even more discouraging. Buried in the rhetoric is a ridicule more poisonous than that of "No Lush". Does he really believe that trampling on the "dry's" will give more courage to the "wet's"? Please, Mr. Roulston, do not ignore the fact that there are two camps in this town right now, and your efforts are not getting them together. SUSAN STREET • DEAR EDITOR: In last week's Standard, your editorial, captioned 'Alcohol is Poison in Marc Ways Than One,' leaves one or two matters open for discussion. You have made this already sound like a 'dry' vs. 'wet' eruption. I think this is simply your 'straw man' which you can shoot down easily. You are well aware that the dry/wet fight was finished years ago, and you ought not to invite this disastrous fight again. Such feuding between • neighbours is totally unnecessary. What the whole matter is about is one of priorities. I think a beer/liquor outlet is not nearly as important as a well-developed ' recreational centre. Beer and liquor are easily obtainable in the neighborhood. What is more important is that recreational opportunities be improved and enlarged for both adults and young people. So, Mr. Editor, you ought not to promote a feud where. none exists. And we ought to have sounder reasons for such an outlet, as proposed. In an open and honest appraisal of community matters no one will be called no-good or money -grubber. . Now to 'No Lush'. It seems that when someone is brave enough to speak up, one always comes with an angle like: 'those chosen few dictating to the rest of us.' This is not a matter of one ; or more persons dictating the rules; this is a discussion about what is most important in our community. JAYNE HOOGSTEEN ED. NOTE: Far be it from us to appear to encourage the consumption of alcohol. As one who for several years picked an average of about four beer bottles a week off the front lawn deposited from passing cars, we can assure the writers we're all for curbing the consumption. Our point, however, was that i the original letters came out pretty strongly against the businessmen who supported the liquor store issue to the point of questioning their ethics, Indeed some businessmen have even been told by some customers that they won't haven their business. again because of their support of the store. This seems hardly the cool discussion our writers talk about. Nor is it a question of priorities. The businessmen are not looking upon the store as a salvation for their businesscs. They don't see it as an alternative to improved recreation facilities. They did, however, see it as one added facility that could be gained that wouldn't cost the taxpayers more money. If it bad been known it would cause such an uproar, we feel sure the businessmen would not even .have brought the subject up. But on the other hand, if you tell the businessmen they can't do this'and they can't do that, what are you going to do to help them? A small village like this depends a good deal on the main street businesses to keep alive. Very few people seem to think of what they can do to help those businesses; they only grumble about lack of selection, high prices and lack of competition. We would like to see our readers become as steamed up about trying to make this community more viable as they do to keeping liquor stores out of town. O.P.P. report During the week August 25 to August 31, the following investi- gations were carried out by officers at Wingham Detachment: six investigations and six persons charged under the Liquor Control Act; 12 charges laid with eight warnings issued uner the High- way Traffic Act; 28 other investigations with three charges laid under the Criminal Code.

PG. 5. drinking drivers The Editor: As a Coroner in the province of Ontario, I have been concerned by the frightful carnage that occurs on the highways of this province and, in particular, the high correlation between exces- sive drinking and accidents resulting in fatalities. Drinking habits and the atti- tudes towards the use and misuse of alcohol in the province of Ontario are changing. Consump- tion as a way of life is beginning at an earlier age. There would appear to be a super -imposing of European drinking habits (under the guise of sophistication and maturity) upon the traditional Canadian attitudes toward alcohol consumption resulting in a serious stacking effect producing a marked expansion in the per capita use of alcohol. In 1974 there were 990 deaths on our highways in which the blood alcohol levels of the victims exceeded the legal limit; As a rule, we arc unconcerned about these statistics until we arc touched by the tragedy of sudden death, This tragedy is compli- cated when we realize that this occurs in such a high proportion in young, healthy individuals. The hazards of injudicious use of alcohol are real and affect the public as a whole, and arc not restricted to the so-called "prob. lem" or "heavy" drinker. Death may enter the next curve on the highway and touch both the drinker and non-drinker alike! As a Coroner, I have also been impressed by the concern and conscience within the Attorney - General's department concerning the efforts ,to control this loss, by means of persuasion, deterrents and finally punishment through the courts. It is, however, my opinion that little will be accomplished un i1 an informed and concerned public expresses its concern at this ongoing slaughter on our public highways. One area which has not been fully explored, in my' opinion, is that in the area of public scrutiny and public ridicule. It is this notoriety that, 1 feel, might be a powerful tool in bringing about the compliance of an individual to the rules and regulations of society. It has been my thought, for some time now, that this old mechanism may well have some application in modern society. For example, I would suggest that some consideration be given by the courts- to publicity that publicly distinguishes drivers Advertising helps fobs. CANADIAN ADVERTISING ADVISORY BOARD Welcome who have habitually abused the privilege of drinking and the privilege of driving and their combination, which we know to be a lethal combination. I would suggest that these drivers be required t� drive a brightly coloured automobile which the public could easily distinguish for a specific period of time (their sentence), so that the public could recognize them as offenders and also be able to protect themselves to some degree. As we all know, anonymity is a great cloak to cover innumerable sins, The loss of a driver's licence is virtually a private matter between the individual and the courts, Such action as that proposed would overcome the objection to inter- ference with livelihood and the punishment of non-involved indi- viduals within the offender's family. It is a source of amazement to me that the public is so concerned at the present time with gun control when the automobile and the drinking driver is a far more dangerous weapon than any gun in the hands of the public. This is a statistical fact that, 1 am sure, will be readily confirmed by any coroner in the province of Ontario. Trusting that the Ontario public will become more concerned with this serious problem.

Airport expansion CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 they could produce less expensive alternatives with regard to tee hangars. Also the reconstruction of taxi ways and construction of addi- tional runway and helicopter pad will be worked into the three phase program. The development will also call for the application of a 5,000 foot runway, the minimum required to accommo- date a lear jet. But airport expansion plans will cross many paths and the committee will have to adhere to some limitations. Colborne Town- ship Council is anxious for some type of commitment on the expansion plans which must be incorporated into their official plan which is nearing completion. The committee will also have to consider township height regula- tions on Highway 21 because of the proximity of the landing strips, the distance limitations required between runways and buildings, the acquisition of additional lands for runways and the placement of runways with regard to the effect of crosswinds plans on light aircraft. Russ Kernighan, a representa- tive of Colborne Township Council, told the committee the council is looking for some commitment with regard to the airport expansion and because of the pressures for expansion on the Highway 21 strip, which he suggested was the logical expan- sion area for the township because of its proximity to the Town of Goderich. The township is anxious to receive some airport plan proposals to gear the zoning regulations to its official plan. All members of the committee agreed that it was necessary to establish what was required and phase it over a number of years. The corporate and service hangar were two items listed as top priority and one member suggest- ed that the administration facili- ties could be phased and the airport could get by on existing facilities.

Editor asks if we really need all that BY SUSAN WHITE, EDITOR HURON EXPOSITOR We have joined the many people in this province who have objected to Ontario Hydro's recent request for rate increases. Sure we're already paying quite a bit for hydro, and sure a 38 per cent rate hike seems a bit much. But the real reason we object to Ontario Hydro asking for more and more from its customers is because we think Hvdro is planning for the past. You can start from a wrong premise and then work from it and do projections and estimated expenditures and budgets that "prove" that the wrong premise is valid. We think that's 1vhat Hydro is doing. All their thinking and planning for future hydro use is based on usage in the pre -energy crisis I900's. Sure they are attempting to have enough power reserve so that the province never runs short. But is that really a responsible position to take in a world that is running out of resources? What is Hydro doing to reduce consumption? You see, Hydro plans to double Ontario's power output in the next eight years. That will cost a huge amount of money, money that could be spent on housing and other urgent needs. Dr. John Deutsch, forager chairman of the Economic Council of Canada, says that by investing so heavily in power generation we may actually be lowering our standard of living because there will not he enough money left for other priorities. It is a little known fact that, with all their talk of saving energy, Hydro billings still favour big electricity users over small ones. The more appliances you have and the more power you use, the cheaper your hydro rate is. So even if the ecology conscious consumer gives up some electri- cal goodies, he's paying more for obeying his conscience. A Toronto newspaper article cited the zxample of a Thornhill man who had in his house, four TV's, a dishwasher, two stereos, a heated pool, washer, drier, power tools, total air conditioning and about a dozen outside 'lights that switched on automatically at dusk. He was amazed that his hydro bill, in summer, is $32 per month. In Seaforth as of August 1, when rate increases here go into effect, customers will be billed at six cents an hour for the first 100 kilowatt hours; three cents an hour for the next 400; 1.5 cents for the next 1,000 and 1.7 cents for any kilowatt hours above that. This could mean that the little old lady who uses a hot plate to cook and does her washing at the r 1 laundranlat is subsidizing the power costs of someone with a large air conditioned house and a heated pool. Hardly the way to encourage people to save energy, is it? The trouble with these rates is that they were designed originally to encourage people to use more hydro, buy more gadgets and get a break in the Airport expansion plans discussed CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6. the venture would pay for themselves. Airport committee chairman Bill Clifford reiterated these sentiments saying it must progress as 'funds exist. "We should be looking at a plan over five or seven years and work on matters of priority as the fund~ exist," he said, "We must establish an overall concept and work towards it." The consensus of the commit- tee was to establish an overall plan quickly that could be incorporated into the Colborne Township official plan and then t0 proceed with the expansion program and the related priorities on the basis of needs and funds, One of the other main concerns of the committee was the building of a new 5,000 foot runway. A runway of that nature must be 750 feet from any buildings which may necessitate the acquisition of lands to accommodate it. But Mayor Shewfelt raised the question, "What right does acquiring land for the airport?" Mr. Kernighan told the committee that Colborne 'Town- ship council was trying to hold development close to the Goderich area but they were also concerned with the preservation of farmland. He said that the council needs a firm projection to proceed with its official plan. KEEP C4N4D4 GRO ; INg PLANT TREES!

They're not appro- priate at a time when we are learning that there is a limit to resources and that consumption can't go up and up and on and on forever, Hydro's huge rate increases are based on plans to give the province a power reserve of from 29 to 38 percent for now until 1980. The reserve rate recom- mended by the Edison Institute, spokesman for U.S, power com- panies, is 15 to 20 percent. I1' Ontario Hydro got rid of billing that encourages over consumption and waste, probably even that reserve could be cut. One or two Tess nuclear plants would be necessary. Less good agricultural land would be carved up for power Tines and Hydro customers and the provincial government would both have more money to spend on other needs. There are further ways to cul down on how hutch reserve power Ontario needs. Experience in other countries shows (hill when power hydro rates are increased, con- sumers cut electricity use at non -peak tinges. This means that power peaks remain big and Hydro companies must keep big reserves t0 meet them, But some European companies l*tve managed to level off power consumption by charging higher rates for power used in peak periods, This apparently is working, and Sweden aims for zero energy growth by 1990, The point is, Hydro doesn't have to keep spending more and more 00 the assumption that we are going to use more and more power. The boons days of the sixt,ics are bust and we need many thing more than we need more electric gadgets, And we can clo without, Los Angeles, California cut power consumption under the threat of the Arab oil embargo two years ago.

Boy, am I a lazy bum! There must be 45 letters stacked here, unanswered. First of all, there are two piles of letters about the metric•Celsius nonsense.

"The metric system should never be intro- duced in Canada because i1 isn't Canadian. I want my children to grow up in a Canadian Canada not a Foreign Canada.

Weil now, I wouldn't go that far, That means that I could never enjoy English fish -and -chips, French fries, chicken chow mein, lassagna, southern fried chicken, and would be condemned for life to drinking Canadian • ugh! • wine.

He then attacks niy "hall' -baked ideas" about the metric system, He goes on to state a lot of facts about the world's population, makes a desperate attempt to link these to the need for a metric system, and fails.

What in hell do we want that for? Celsius! Sounds more like a disease than a degree of temperature." Another brief letter from a Western couple, stamped envel- ope enclosed, says,: "Tell us what to do, write our M.P. or what, and we'll do it." Well, folks, that's a good place to start, but don't be surprised if you get a polite brush-off. To try to sum up my own feelings would require another whole column, and would just touch on the subject. Firstly, 1 agree that metric is easier. Any idiot knows that. But don't try to snow me with arguments that Canada's econo- mic future depends on the metric system. Our economic future, like it or lump it, is tied to that of the U.S. which is not metric. The metric system should have been introduced 50 years ago. 1t wasn't. Now is not the time to do it, when inflation is making terrible ravages un our economy. Maybe it's 15 years to soon. We just can't afford it right now, Celsius is silly, l don't care the temperature is in Outer Mongolia, or what system they use. I want to know whether it's 10 below or 80 above - Fahrenheit.

PG, 15. Passenger wanted privacy so much she missed the right train DEAR ANN LANDERS: I was intrigued by the letter from the woman who preferred to travel npestercd" and resented strangers intruding on her priva- cy by starting conversations. This reminded me of an incident I experienced on a recent trip to Europe. On a train to Germany, I was seated next to a I'riendly•looking, middle-aged lady. She appeared to be an American, so 1 asked if she was from the United States. She gave me an icy stare and Immediately started to read a book in English. (The train had not yet left the station.) A few moments later, the conductor came along to collect tickets. He glanced at this woman's ticket and 'excitedly began to rattle off something in German. She ignored him. A gentleman across the aisle shouted at her, "Did you understand what he said?" More silence:^ He repeated the quest- ion, She paid no attention. Finally, the loner replied Seaforth police chief finds pot in own back yard If some Seaforth residents happened to be in the police station one recent afternoon, they might have thought the chief had joined the Horticultural Society. In the station sat a four foot tall potted plant. It looked quite decorative with its long jagged leaves and its mint smell. This was a marijuana plant whose leaves are rolled and smoked by an increasing number of people. It is referred -to as pot, weed, grass and was growing in Seaforth, the chief said. Chief John Cairns was enjoying his private joke and was holding back a little. This, the reporter supposed, was why he asked a camera be brought along. So naturally, the next question was who grew it. Well, the chief stalled. Was anyone charged, the reporter asked wondering if there was it story here or not? No, for that would require me to charge myself, he said. By this time, the reporter's eyes were like saucers. Chief Cairns said his wife mentioned a "queer looking plant" growing in the garden of their Goderich West Street home, but he was on his way out, and didn't take a look at it until the afternoon, Sure enough, growing behind his rosebud, just peaking its top above the bush, and growing against the wall of the house was a marijuana plant. He said after that he made a careful search of the garden, but didn't find any other plant of that type. So, he dug up the plant, which wasn't easy because it has roots like a tree, potted it, and brought it into the office, where the Huron Expositor took a picture, and where he plans to cut it up and destroy R. When asked how the plant got there, he said: "I certainly didn't plant it." It wasn't there a few weeks.. ago when he weeded the garden, he said. He said a plant could have got there any number of ways. Kids walk over this lawn, so they could have thrown the seeds there ,or a bird could have dropped them, he said, crisply, "No -- and I don't care to have any conversations with you either." The traveler shot back, "'Too had, hecause the conductor has been trying to tell you you're on the wrong train, going; in the wrong direction and this is an express that doesn't snake a stop for six hours... By that time the train had pulled out and we were on our way. Moral: I like to talk to people when I gavel. Sometimes I learn something. •• M-50312 DEAR M: 1 like to read when I travel •- and I always learn plenty. But the first thing I do before I board a pirate is make sure it's the right one. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I have been reading your column since 1 was 11 years old and 1 am 17 now, Please answer this question. It really hugs me. Why do so many girls write to you and say, "I slept with this guy and now I'm pregnant"? Girls don't get pregnant from sleeping with guys. In fact, if all they did was sleep, there would be no pregnancy. They must have done something more. Will you please tell them to make this clear when they use that phrase? 'thank you. •• Miss El DEAR MISS: That phrase is called a euphemism. The English language is full of them. I don't object to euphemisms, so long as 1 get the idea. And in this case, it's pretty darned clear. DEAR ANN LANDERS: "Thank you for telling the menopausal ladies in the office who have hot flashes how to dress. It was a real help to us males who freeze in the winter %viten those dames insist on opening windows. And now that the air condition- ers are on, will you please say something to the young chicks who scream they are turning blue from the cold while the rest of us are comfortable? Four dames in this office wear necklines that plunge to the navel -• and no bras. Their skirts Idok like long blouses. They are four-fifths naked.' .please, Ann, take another shot at it, •• Men Who Need Help DEAR MEN: According to the Chicago Sun -Times building eng- ineer, the thermostat should be set between 76-78 degrees in the summer. So go ahead and set it there. If those half -naked bimbos complain about the cold, tell 'em to put on some clothes. *** Drugs? How much is too much? Is pot O.K.? Is L.S.D. too much?

The thought came to mind last week. It had been one of those exasperating days. We'd been two hours late for at deadline and the printer was grumbling. Two hundred and one frustrating little things had gone wrong along the way. Alt the people we owed motley to were champing at the bit while all the people who owed us money seemed to have gone on a long vacation. And it was raining...again. into the office, docking the raindrops came a fellow we knew from over in Perth county. He looked a little green around the gills. Shaking the rain from his ,hhuldcrs he looked out the window in disgust. His disgust was obvious when he told his story about how things were going in his line of business. He was a farmer. Until this year he'd owned a beef feedlot operation. but the price of bees' had plUnlnlCtC(I and he'd lost more money than he could afford. So he decided to get out of beef for the present and concentrate on cash crops. It looked like a wise decision as the alternating hot sunny weather and occasional rains had brought along bumper crops. But suddenly, only days before the crops would have been safely in the granaries, all looked as if it could be lost. He had, he said rather sadly, 150 acres of crop laying in the swath, or rather lying in the water on the fields. Alt he could do was pray for a sudden and dramatic change in the weather. 1 can remember the. same feeling as a young boy as we 'watched a whole year's crop, a whole year's income, rot slowly in the fields on our farm. We in ordinary jobs often get frustrated with working condi- tions, with the boss or our fellow workers or our income, but we cannot visualize the feeling of utter helplessness a man feels when something entirely beyond his control such as weather, wipes out his entire effort. 1-le's watched that crop grow and dreamed of the day it would be harvested and of what he will lie able to do with the money he makes, and suddenly he realizes that all the dreams have been «'acted and he'll be lucky to even get back the costs of planting. Or he watches that prize cow he's nurtured from a calf have to be destroyed because of brucellosis. The expression "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched" is extremely accurate when it comes to farming. I wish that urban .people who complain about the high cost of food or the low wages they get could experience, if only for a day, that feeling. Perhaps it would lead to a little better understanding of what it means 10 be a farmer. Perhaps it would make people see that even when a farmer seems to be doing quite well, he may be only it wet spell, or a dry spell or an epidemic, away from being virtually wiped out, In this, the most security conscious nation in the world, that is a pretty precarious position to be in.. No -wonder fewer and fewer people have been willing to take up the challenge of farming. Fitness: something that no one else can do for you. klifs((:1 PaRTIC/Pa0/0/7.

Film based on Truscott case to be at Goderich BY DAVE SYKES Murray Markowitz would like to think of himself as a pioneer but in fact he is just plain stubborn. Markowitz. is the producer. director of a Canadian made film Recommendation For Mercy that has survived threats of govern- ment intervention and lack of monetary support to a point where creditors threatened to take the film over the year that it was being made; But Markowitz and others involved with the production of the film survived all +hat and believe that the fruits of their labor will evolve into one of the best Canadian films ever made. The film, Recommendation for Mercy, is fictional but the basic idea was inspired by trial of ` Steven Truscott. The circum- stances and characters in the film have been deliberately and extensively altered to eliminate any resemblance to actual events or persons. Markowitz became interested in the idea two years ago when he was studying the Supreme Court transcripts of the Truscott trial while at Osgoode Hall. That interest prompted the writing of the script a short time later, and the basis of the film was set in motion. For Markowitz, the film and perhaps the entire Truscott matter goes far beyond the trial of a young boy. It, in fact, deals with our own moral consciousness and administration of justice. "The repercussions on the administration of justice in this country after the trial were astounding," he said. "1 am sure it left a scar on many Canadians. The film deals with the basic concept of the Truscott case but Markowitz adamantly reiterated that it is a film that captures a moral consciouness issue and deals with important moral issues. He claims the violence in the movie acts as an effective deterrent and viewers are left to make a decision for themselves at the conclusion. "I don't think any case in Canada captured the imagination ' of the people like this one, he said. "Once we were about to view• our finished product it took on ramifications above our expectations." But Markowitz is confident that the film will be a commercial success for three reasons. He boasted that the film was entertaining throughout, is con- cerned with important moral issues and the story which deals with a 14 year-old boy charged with the rape and murder of a 13 -year-old girl makes no con- cessions for the viewer. The viewer is left to be his own judge. Markowitz was in Goderich last week with Andrew Skidd, the young man who plays the lead role in the film, Skidd, the young selected for the lead from 3,000 hopefuls who auditioned for th part and the 16 -year old Guelph native turned out to be a pleasant surprise for the Markowitz group despite no previous acting experience. Andrew heard about the auditions through his high school and promptly gave up his job at a McDonald's Restaurant and cut his hair in a determined effort to get the role. He was not familiar with the acting scene or the trial ,vhich formed the nucleus of the film. "1 was not familiar with the Truscott case but I read all the books and articles written on it and really got wrapped up in it," he said. "It was really difficult not to get involved in." All of the shooting for the film, was done last summer in Guelph, Kitchener, Elora, jail scenes in Welland and the supreme court filming took place in Brampton. For Andrew the film involved over 'three months of rehearsal prior to the weeks of shooting. Since the filming of Recommend- ation For Mercy he was the lead in a CBC hour drama, Betrayal and also played the lead in the documentary Here's •Looking At You for Westminster Films. The entire turn of events have been nothing short of an enjoyable experience for the young actor who now has visions of persuing an acting career and the accolades of producers he has worked for indicate it could become a reality. The movie opened in the National Art Centre in Ottawa on August 12 and Markowitz claims it was the largest opening of any Canadian film. The film will he opening in 25 theatres in Ontario on September 12 and the success of the Ontario showing will determine its saleabililty to the remainder of the Canadian provinces and the United States. Markowitz's two first films, Blake and The Glass Ring were presented to the Canadian Con- temporary Film Festival in 1969 and since that,. he made two additional films More Than One and August and July. He is confident that Recommendation For Mercy is his best effort and will be a commercial success. He plans to enter the film in the Chicago International Film Festival in November and in the Cannes Film Festival next year.
