Foodland sacrificed for Ontario's foodland is being written off in favour of an industrial urban society, a spokesman for the Huron County Power Plant Committee said Saturday at the annual briefing session for members of Parlia- ment held by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. Lorne Luther, presenting the brief said that "It must be decided now, not in the future, whether Southern Ontario is going to raise food or factories and high rises. If it is going to grow food, then governments, both provincial and federal must have Hydro redesign their plans, and develop energy sites near the area where industry will have to locate. The brief included a map showing the proposed sites for future Hydro sites. Of 17 proposed sites, only five were north of a line from Georgian Bay to Ottawa. The proposal of Ontario Hydro to build a power plant in Huron also was mentioned in briefs from the Ontario Bcan Producers Westfield news items BY MRS.

Jack Ritidell, M.P.P. for Huron -Middlesex and an out- spoken opponent of a plant in Huron said there would be nothing short of revolution if Ontario Hydro tried to push the ,plant through in Huron, He said farmers are up in arms over the issue and Ontario Hydro's survey on the subject showed Huron's urban population against it too. He said the plant would have a terribly disruptive influence on Huron, He also worried about the fact no final longterm method had been found for storing nuclear wastes. Mr. Luther wondered if all the present postulating by Ontario Hydro was perhaps just a smokescreen and that what Hydro had in mind really was four or five superplants, much bigger than anyof the present plants. Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron•Bruce. said that if it came down to a choice between a new plant in Huron and expansion of the Bruce site. he'd rather lave Bruce expand, even though it would mean problems in his riding. But we %wntdered "is the government serious about decen- tralization or not. If it is then it should takes steps," If it built power plants in the north people would work there and live there and create a whole new economic structure, he said. • George Adams of the power plant committee said that unless new sources of uranium are found, there wouldn't be any of fire the nuclear stations after 1990. Phil Durand of the Bean Producers complained that the government was putting so little into research into alternate sources of power. Mr. Riddell agreed -that the government was spending very little compared to what other countries a , • doing.

Mr, Hill said there was no doubt that "all of us would like our children to grow up and live close by but what's the future if we lose the land?" He said we're going to have to get tough. He said the new steel plant at Nanticoke should never have been allowed there. It was built there. he said, so the steel company could have a good bargaining tool with the city nI' Hamilton. with the threat to pull jobs out of that city.

United we stand, divided we fall The actions of the hospitals boards of hospitals in Goderich and Wingham of refusing to make cuts in order to help save Clinton hospital are at best short sighted. The two hospitals have shown an attitude to "thank goodness it's not us" and said to heck with Clinton. It seems hardly a fitting attitude for a profession that is supposed to act as a good samaritan. In addition it's a downright stupid attitude. As Huron -Middlesex M.P.P. Jack Riddell pointed out Saturday, Health Minister Frank Miller has still only closed 10 of the 24 hospitals he had earlier talked of closing, He'd promised no more closures in Huron this year. But after he's saved his $50 million this year, what does he do for an encore next year? Isn't it possible he may be back in Huron on his messenger of death voyages to break the bad news to another hospital? If that hospital was Wingham or Goderich, just who would feel very sorry for them after the cavalier approach they've taken to helping Clinton. it's been pointed out time and again that beds closed now can easily be reopened again. If the Clinton Hospital is completed closed, it will never reopen. Yet despite the common sense, despite the fact it may be long range insurance that group action would give their own hospitals, the Wingham and Goderich boards continue to offer sympathy but little else. Mr. Miller would be proud. Can you blame them? While the hospital closing issue seemingly has brought a lot of bad publicity to the Conservative government of William Davis, it has perhaps been even harder on the opposition parties. Criticism of the opposition in those areas hardest hit by the closings such as Huron, Bruce and Grey counties has bccn almost as strong as the criticism of Health Minister Frank Miller. NDP leader Stephen Lewis toured the doomed hospitals and sounded sympathetic but observers say there's little chance he'll defeat the government on the issue. Liberal leader Dr. Stuart Smith has been losing all the good publicity he gained at the leadership convention by virtually disappearing into the woodwork on the issue. He's against closings, but for them in that money must be saved. In all, he comes across as unable to make up his mind. Davis and his party strategist must be rubbing their hands at the situation. They've dared the opposition parties to call an election over the closings and they realize they've won their bluff. it's easy for us to sit back and criticize the opposition but perhaps we should think what it would be like to sit in the shoes of Mr. Lewis or Dr. Smith. These men, and their parties are so near and yet so far from government. If things went well, either one can see himself following the next election as the premier of the province. It things went bad, they could look forward to another Tong term of Davis government. So, if you're going to force an election, you want to make sure it's on the right issue. From our position here, the closings seem to be like a motherhood issue. But the next election isn't going to be -won or lost in western Ontario. The Conservatives already know they don't stand a hope in hell of electing a man in Huron -Bruce riding or any of the ridings surrounding it. No, the next election will be fought and won in the cities and there saving money from the health budget is an even greater motherhood issue. Idealistically, we can blame Lewis and Smith for not standing up for their own feelings and in the case of Smith for the people of his Liberal ridings and knocking off the Tories. But realistically, just how much is he going to help us here if he forces an election and the Tories go back in big. it's sad, but true, that in politics, it's not always what's right that you have to do, but what will achieve the end results you want. Strong statements of support for our small town hospitals might sound good to us right now, but it might be the very thing that would put Davis and Miller back in power so they can close more hospitals next year. Scrambled egg thinking The Consumers Association of Canada apparently Lor. raise chickens better than the chicken farmers of Canada. That's apparently the only conclusion one can draw from the arrogant claims of the C.A.C. that Canadians are paying 15 cents a dozen too much for their eggs. The C.A.C. says that the Canadian Egg Marketing Agency, C.E.M.A. for short is using the wrong figures to work out how much a dozen eggs should cost. it says a farmer can look after more chickens in a shorter period of time than C.E.M.A. says. It admits that it has talked to only a handful of farmers in preparing its statement, but seems to think this is enough. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread, One can only assume we'd be better off if we let the consumers run the farms. If would be interesting to see how long these doctors and lawyers and housewives would stick it out even at the higher egg costs,.let alone the 15 -cent drop they suggest. Somehow that old Indian proverb of never criticizing a man until you've walked a mile in his moccasins seems to have bccn lost over the years. Today, even though the world is complicated as never before, people seem to think they know other people's business better than those people know it themselves. What would happen if the farmer decided they knew more about being a doctor than the doctors on the C.A.C. or a lawyer than the C.A.C. lawyer -members or a newspaperman.than the members of the constantly carping press? If they were as efficient as farmers have. proven to be in the last couple of decades, who knows, it might be an improvement. BY KEITH ROULSTON It seems strange to me that with all the things wrong that Bill Davis and his government have done in the past few years, the one issue that. may lead to their defeat is as phony as the seat belt question, I've heard more out and out B.S, over the subject in recent weeks than anything I've heard in a long time. 1 know that a statement like that is likely to get me lynched in these parts but so what. I've heard so much crying about the seatbelt legislation taking away bur "rights" that ' 1 don't know whether to laugh or cry. What right, the right to kill yourself? The right to run up big hospital bills that the rest of society has to help pay for? The right to increase insurance claims and thus drive up insurance rates for everyone, whether they wear -a seat belt or not? It isn't the first time we've heard such baloney. We heard it when snowmobilcrs were forced to wear helmets. We heard it when motorcycle drivers and riders were forced to wear helmets. We heard it dozens of like incidents but always when a relative minority of pcoplc were involved. Now, because everyone is involved, the screaming is loud and long, The argument goes that "i'm not against seat belts but I don't think the government should force pcoplc to wear them. People should be able to make up their own minds." The fact remains, pcoplc I'.m with Davis weren't wearing them in siginit"i- cant numbers before the law was passed. The government spent a lot of money last year in advertising trying to change people's minds about seat beiM. Ml they managed to do was raise a big stink about the money they were wasting. 1 don't like unnecessary government regulations. 1 wish the scat belt legislation was unnecessary. But it' your child wants to go out and walk across thin ice on a pond, you stop him. You don't worry about his "right" to make his own decision. If he falls through the ice and drowns he's only going to hurt himself, but still, you lay down the rules and stop him. On the scat belt issue the majority of people in the province were acting like children. Despite all the evidence that says scat belts save lives, they refused to Ice Capad es listen. Most who did give scat belts a chance gave up after only a few minutes, or few hours wearing them, If they had given the belts a fair chance, say a month of regular wear, nearly everyone would find they weren't so bad after all. piano was enjoyed. I'vc never heard of so many Mrs. Webster announced that people whose lives were saved as I Mr. A. Sherwood will take a bus since the scat belt legislation to the Ice Capades in Kitchener if came up.

And all these people are people who can end up in emergency situations requiring fast exit from the car or plane, if, as so many belt opponents say, seat belts inhibit fast exit, why do these professionals wear them?'% ' The arguments of those against belts reminds me of the stubborn arguments smokers use when, despite all evidence that smoking is dangerous to health, they insist that` the evidence is wrong. When people grow up, then maybe governments can stop treating them like children, Seniors to see Blyth Swinging Seniors met on Wednesday, January 25 in Memorial Hall.

Mr. Miller's reason for closing our Hospital is our "geographic position." Sir, we have not relocated, we are exactly where we have always been. I am enclosing a clipping from the front page of the Exeter Independent which apparently seemed newsworthy to them. Please let me compare the two hospitals, paragraph by para- graph. ' SPECIALIST VISITS HOSPITAL MONTHLY By DOUG FIRBY 1. A specialist in internal medicine is now visiting South Huron Hospital on a monthly basis, Ben Hoogenboom director of public relations said Monday. 2. The specialist will bring resident students with him from the University of Western Ontar- io. Mr. Hoogenboom said their visits will become more frequent as required. The medical staff of the hospital decided the visits were necessary after starting major operations at the hospital six or seven months ago. 3. Mr. Hoogenboom said eight major operations were done in January at the hospital. 4. In March a physiotherapist will begin visiting the hospital three mornings a week, Mr. Hoogenboom said. 5. The necessary equipment for this function will be purchased by the women's auxiliary. b1&2 • CPH has a specialist in internal medicine on active staff. This Doctor lives less than one mile out of town, and is available on a 24 hour basis. This Doctor ' has had a final year student working under his direction for the past month. Also we have 5 general practitioners on our active staff, and 4 well trained anesthetists. /13 • We have 2 excellent surgeons on staff. in January 1976 these surgeons performed 37 "major operations," as well as this 69 minor operations were performed by our general practit- ioners and surgeons. This may be taken as an average month at the Clinton Public Hospital, not News! il4.Our physiotherapy Depart- ment was the original one in Huron County. We operate on a 40 hr. week, with a Registered Physiotherapist on staff. Also much of this equipment has been donated. 115 • No Auxiliary has worked harder nor given more than our own Women's Auxiliary, but if Mr. Miller is allowed to proceed with his plans, all their efforts will be for nothing. 1 am most certainly not suggesting that Exeter get Mr. Miller's famous "Axe," but let Huron County share this burden of restraint, Please let me know that I have been heard.

FRED CARSON BLYTH ANGLICAN CHURCH Advertising gets to us sooner or later. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that advertising gets to all of us in a multitude of ways almost every day. Posters are part of our life, whether a billboard or a store sign by the road, a sandwich board carried by someone wishing to publicize an injustice, a safety message on a factory wall, or a memorable message on a banner in church. Some time ago 1 was asked to be a fill-in preacher in a strange church. On the basement wall 1 saw a large poster which brought a chuckle, "BE PATIENT WITH ME - God isn't finished with me yet." Recently I sawanother one which grabbed hold of a piece of my mind, a home-made poster, It so intrigued me that I took it to hang on our church wall for the annual meeting of our congregation, It said, "It is a law of human lift as certain as gravity: to live fully we must learn to use things and love people; not love things and use people." Society seems to have been on a major drunk in recent years, chasing the god "materialism" as a confirmed drunk chases a bottle, We feel we owe it to ourselves to live in luxury, so we pursue the goal of the large income, When we get it we find our appetite gets larger and larger. Insecurity jumps in - we get afraid that soon the boss will find out that we aren't worth what we get paid. Families get this voracious appetite for things, dad has to work overtime to buy them • or mother goes out to work - and then they complain because the family never sees each other, and can't talk together peaceably when they do. Contemporary music often tells a lot about modern life, I remember a song from a few years ago which said, "Money is the root of all evil..,(1) won't contaminate myself with it; take it away, take it away, take it away... I sounded like a Bible quote, but Lombardo had the quote wrong; it should be...the love of money is the root of all evil—I'll be glad to come to sing the excerpt from the song to your group, if you wish. As a director of a church operated resource centre in the area, I am interested in audio -visuals. If you've seen or thought up a good poster slogan, how about sharing it with me? May 1 quote another poster to end this little message •"The smallest parcel in the world is a man wrapped up in himself." U.C.W. holds meeting The Blyth United Church Women met in the church parlour on Monday, March 8. The theme of the meeting was. Christian Citizenship under the guidanceof Mrs. Harold Carnp- bell. M.

Planning act unfair, farmers say Inequities in the planning act as it applies to farm buildings were pointed out to members of Parliament at the annual Mem- bers of Parliament briefing meeting held by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture Saturday in Clinton. Maurice Bean, RR 1, Auburn, Director to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture for Huron East Centre pointd out that the Niagara Escarpment act requires a builder to give notice to other land owners if he is going to build within 400 feet. By contrast, Mr.. Bean pointed out, the Agricultur- al Code of Practice requires 1000 feet between a new farm livestock building and a residence, and up to 2000 feet from a proposed severence. "Our understanding of the situation at the present time," Mr. Bean said in his brief, "is that a farmer cannot get a permit to build unless he adheres to the above distances, but someone building next to a farm livestock building is not restricted to the same distances." Mr. Bean said it was under- stood that a new code of practice is under consideration based on a formula for distance, "but we are concerned and respectfully ask for help, in whatever way you can, to see that new regulations require other builders to be bound by the same distance requirements," 'Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron -Bruce said he understood the new code was to be better than the old one. Jack Riddell, M,P.P, forr •Huron -Middlesex, said he gets (plenty of letters on the subject. 'He said he was on the farmer's (side in cases of complaints over !animal odours from neighbours (living in the country. "When a ;farmer has to govern his farm to !the whims and fancy of the !urbanite who wants to live in the 'country or to the whims and :fancies of government," he said, "then there's something wrong," The brief was one of 10 presented during the five-hour session. In another portion of the same brief Mr. Bean called again for a Farm Income Protection Act. Another brief, by the Huron County Cream Producers Associ- ation complained that the Provin- cial government had implement- ed the Industrial Milk Production Incentive Program loans to try to make dairy farmers more efficient but now the farmers find they are so efficient -the federal govern- ment is •cutting back their,., subsidy. Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron Middlesex said when the cutback was first announced he asked Agriculture Minister Fug• enc Whelan about the situation oI cream producers because, he said, it wasn't cream producers who were causing the milk surplus so they shouldn't be' penalized. "What disturbs me." he said, "is that people in those high positions don't sec farther ahead so that we don't have surplusscs at the same time as everyone else (There is presently a world-wide surplus of skim milk powder.) Mr. Gaunt said he was greatly concerned about the administra- tion of the I.M. P.I.P. loans was trying to see if the government will change its policy on repay- ment. Now, he says, a farmer on I.M,P.1.P. has to reach a certain scale of production to get the forgiveable portion of his loan and this is encouraging overproduc- tion. He said he'd like to see the production scaled down, The director of the program says he is considering the idea, Mr. Gauht said,, Another brief, by Glen Miller, O.F.A. director from South Huron called for faster processing of Farm Credit Corporation Loans. The present loan limit for persons in the 18-35 age group is $150,000 he said. "This money is some- times too high, usually not 'enough, and doesn't go very farm down the road to achieve economical operations....". He also called for an increase in the amount of money available for tile drainage loans. Maurice Bean wondered if the present ceiling on F.C.C. loans shouldn't be at least maintained,' not raised, because, he said, it wasn't doing young farriers good to let them get too far in debt, But Mr. Riddell argued using the example that if someday he retired from politics and wanted to make a living from his farm by adding a necessary extra 100 acres and he couldn't borrow the money, some doctor or lawyer would be able to get it and buy the whole farm for a country retreat and let the rest of the farm go to goldenrod. Jake Van Wonderen, regional• director for West Central Huron called for a fair shake for the farmer in ,the market place, He asked that credit facilities for the farmer be improved: that the general agreement on Tariffs and Trades should be more favourable to the Canadian Farmer; that „, , firm' products not be used as a )trade off in attempts to gain favourable conditions for inclus• trial products. "I don't think the Canadian Farmer is I) crpaId." Mr. Van Wonder•en said, "and as a Citi/en he is entitled 10 protection from unjustified bureaucratic attacks and should not he sold dm)11 the road for other interests. or be thrown to the V OIVes because a foreign government %%ants to help its own farmer's." Another brief on farm linaneing was presented by Vince Austin 0,F.A. director for North Wes; Huron. It called for a lifting' of the 'F.C.C. loan limit of $150,000 where partnerships or farm corporations were involved. The most controversial issue raised by the Huron County Pork Ioducers Association in its brief was over scat belts, or rather the government's compulsory use of scat belts. The brief said it should be up to the individual to make such a decision. All three members were against compulsory seal belt use. Mr. Gaunt said he supported wearing seat belts from a safety standpoint but didn't like the compulsory aspect. Mr. McKinley said he ‘vasn't fussy about the law. "They tried it (compulsory legislation) in Australia," he said, "and look what happened to the govern- ment down there." ;Traffic deaths increase Fifty-two more people died in traffic accidents across Ontario through 1975 than in 1974, according to preliminary year-end statistics released today by Minister of Transportation and Communications James Snow. "Tragically, 1,800 people died on Ontario streets and highways during 1975 as dgainst 1,748 in the previous year," said Mr. Snow, The increase was three per cent. "Increases in fatalities invol- ving motor vehicle passengers, motorcycle drivers and passeng- ers, and bicyclists accounted for the higher total" said Mr, Snow, In all, 540 automobile passeng- ers, 97 motorcyclists and 16 passengers on motorcycles, 56 cyclists and nine moped riders died in the 213,689 traffic accidents during 1975.

Academy Award guessing game .begins for 1976 BY VONNI LEE As a few weeks ago it took top honors for Golden Globe Awards, "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" has become the forerunner in nominations for the annual Academy Awards in Hollywood, The filth, which is based on life in an insane asylum, was nominated nine times, including those going to its principal players and director, It also received a nomination for best picture and will be competing with "Dog Day Afternoon", "Barry Lyndon", "Nashville and the adventure story of the year, "Jaws", Jack Nicholson, who played the starring role in "Cuckoo's Nest", was nominated for best actor, as was Al Pacino of "Dog Day Afternoon"; Walter Matthau of "The Sunshine Boys"; Maxi. milian Schell of "The Man in the (Glass Booth" and James Whit- more of "Give 'Em Hell, Harry!" Competing for the Oscar which will name one of them the best actress of 1975, are Louise Fletcher of "Cuckoo's Nest"; Ann -Margret of the rock musical, "Tommy"; Isabelle Adjani of "The Story of Adele 1-1,"; Glenda Jackson in "Hedda" and Carol Kane in "Hester Street Nicholson has been nominated several times and never won so this may be his year but Whitmore has provided both movie and television audiences with the finest dramatic enter- tainment for many moons and it would be nice to sec him recognized for one great perform- ance at least. Being unfamiliar with two of the best actress Big snow costs hurt road budget The unexpected high costs of winter snow removal may 'dean a delay in the paving of Road 19 from Ethel to Highway 86 until 1977. Huron County engineer, 'Jim. Britncll told council that winter control costs for January were 59 per cent higher than last year and amounted to nearly half of the snow removal budget. The January total in 1975 was $67,000 as compared to $107,206 for this year. The 1976 budget is $230,000. Britnell explained that it. was premature to predict. the final winter control costs but the trends indicated an overexpendituurc of 50 to 70 per cent or as much as $160,000. The Ministry of Tran- sportation ransportation and Communication has advised the road committee that no more subsidies will be available and any over expendi;, tures' would have to be handled entirely by the county. In some cases it would mean the cancell- ation of rad construction pro- jects. Due to the costs of snow removal the tender for the paving of Road 19 will be delayed until the final winter control costs can be determined. If it is feasible the tender may be called in late of summer of this year or may be delayed until 1977. Council approved the road committee budget of $2,493,600 which is up $83,000 from last year's actual budget. The, total ministry share is $1;415,600 and the county share is $1,078,000. Councilapproved a 6,udget from the Library Board of $301,000 an increase of; nearly $40,000 over the actual budget of last year. Tentative approval was given to the budgets of Social Services Committee totalling uco: dividends Some $4,089,622 is now being returned to the members of United Co-operatives of Ontario in the form of patronage. UCO's Board has authorized patronage of $4,089,622 to be distributed to UCO's 42,000 direct and corpor- ate members across the province. $1,363,208 in the form of cash and $2,726,414 in common shares. Through the allocationof patronage, UCO is able to return to its member -patronage part of its net savings. ' Patronage returns are import- ant, but are not the only measure of the value of the co-operative. UCO is operated in the interest of the members who own and control li and serves its members and patrons best by setting the pace with competitive prices, top quality supplies and improved services, United Co-operatives of Ontar- io is the largest farm supply and marketing co-operative in Ontar- io, with sales of over $258 million in 1975. $378,200 up $31,000 from last year due mainly to the increase in "staff this year, M1 the budgets submitted to council have been given tentative approval and the master county budget will be prepared within the month by the executive committee. All committees have attempted to stay within the guidelines with their requests but if" the total budget needs trimming then individual commit- tee budgets may be discussed at council for additional cutbacks. candidates, it is difficult for me to judge that class. Bound to be a sentimental favorite in the race for best supporting actor will be comedian George Burns who played a vaudeville star in "The Sunshine Boys". Brad Dourif, who gave a fine performance in "Cuckoo's Nest may be his biggest competitor but he also has to beat Burgess Meredith of "The Day of the Locust"; Chris Sarandon of "Dog Day Afternoon" and Jack Warden of "Shampoo", Supporting actresses nominat- ed were Lee Grant from "Sham- poo" (supporting cast was recog- nized for this one but none of the stars, Warren Beatty, Goldie Hawn or Julie Christie, got a nod); Renee Blakely and Lilv Tomlin of "Nashville"; Syliva Miles in "Farewell, my Lovely" and Brenda Vaccaro of "Once Is Not Enough". • In the race for best director are the men behind the scenes of "Cuckoo's Nest/"; "Amarcord"; "Barry Lyndon"; "Dog ..Day Afternoon" and "Nashville".

Ontario Ontario Human Rights Commission and didn't really have to be a Sammy Davis Jr„ three girls dug their way out of the Detroit ghetto, determined to get some- where in the world of show business. It wasn't fashionable for black girls to don diamonds and plink and be swingers; after all, they were hardly past the stage of servants' roles! But the Supremos donned those dia- monds and minks and they developed a sound that turned the record industry upside down, Diana Ross was the lead singer and backing her she had Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard. They sang about life - life in the ghetto as they knew it, life, much of the time unpleasant, dealing with the insecure, the unwanted, the lonely and unloved, And they became famous • and rich - until too much fame and success broke up the group and the happiness that existed turned to bitterness, Diana Ross decided to try it as a single and we know how that ended • she became not only a start of night clubs, but a movie star and Oscar nominee for "Lady Sings the Blues", the life story of blues singer Billie Holliday. For Ballard and Wilson, the story was not so good, And last week, in Detroit, Florence Ballard was dead at 32, apparently of cardiac arrest, She had planned to slake a comeback but never made it, From life in the ghetto - to life in show business - to the end at 32. What a movie script that would slake for Diana Ross! What a pitty that for so many, fame and fortune mean only, the beginning of the end!

Second grandson nicely launched, and I was nicely along into my second week of tranquility as a baby bachelor, Each time my daughter adds to the population explosion, my wire hustles off to give her a hand "for a few days," This, I have discovered, stretches into two weeks. But 1 don't really mind. It's rather pleasant, baching it, for a while. Nobody to tell you to get to bed just when there's a dandy horror movie coming on. Nobody to tell you that you are a bum and a loafer if you sleep in Sunday morning. Nobody to switch your favorite cops -and -robbers pro- gram to a lousy medical love story. Nobody. Nobody to listen to your complaints. Nobody to share a laugh. Nobody to gossip with. Nobody to make you take your pills when your bursitis is bad. Nobody to cook you a beautiful Hullett . Federation reorganizes In Feb the Hullett Twp. Federation of Agriculture met in Londesboro to find out the feeling of reorganizing this group. The Federation has been inactive for a few years. This meeting was in the form of a luncheon meeting. Maurice Bean discussed the different levels of the Federation Township County of Ontario. Two speakers were present from the Kitchener Taxation Office. First they mentioned the changes in the taxation laws for 1975 taxation year. Following this questions were answered from the floor. Another meeting is 'planned for March 16, It is to take the form of a luncheon meeting at 11:30 a,m. in Londesboro Hall. A speaker is to be present from the Dept of Natural Resources to speak on the Hullett Conservation Area. The township was divided according to the polling divisions in order to have directors to serve different areas of the township.., The following names were suggested John Van Beers, John Benjamins, George Colclough, Bob Trick, Lloyd Stewart, Gerret Wilts, Bill Gibbing, Bob Peel, Lawrence Plactzer, Stewart Dale, George Postma, Jerry Hezink, Gordon Daer, Tom Cunningham and Ed Lapp. IMEEMM \\ Bill likes to be alone sometime egg or make your favourite dessert, Nobody to put your cold feet on at night.' Nobody to argue with, wrong with being a real bachelor. Or spinster. Nobody. It must be grim, But as 1 said, a couple of weeks is no problem, I can put a load of socks through the washer. 1 can shop better than most men, and as well as most women. 1 can run a vacuum cleaner, do dishes, feed a cat, make a bed, scrub a sink, And I can whip up a gourmet meal with the best of them. Let's see, Last night it was baked potatoes, a fat chicken leg, and artichoke hearts. The potatoes were crisp -skinned, fluffy inside, with a big pat of butter drooling over the edges. The chicken was so golden outside, tender inside it would make Colonel Sanders weep, The artichoke hearts were hearty. I'd never had them before, but with a cheese sauce, pretty doozy, Night before it was onion soup with golden croutons, baked haddock balls stuffed with shrimp, asparagus tips swimming in butter, a glass or two or 'Beaujolais, a light dessert of creamy rice pudding with man- darin oranges and real coffee with a dash of cognac in it. Tonight it's going to be something simple because I'm writing my column. Perhaps a little lasagna with meat sauce, after hors d'oeuvres of fine liver pate, Camembert cheese, and smoked oysters on onion thins, - Don't worry. I haven't gained a pound in 30 years, unlike some I could mention. And I would be in bad shape without a can opener, a bottle opener, and the frozen food counter. But I'm not suffering. And there are other compens- ations, Last Friday afternoon, I took part in a symposium after work with some of the chaps, at Blyth 4H meets The first meeting of Blyth 3 was held at the home of June and Kathy Machan on February 25 at 7:00 p.m. with 12 members present. The erection of officers arc as follows President, June Machan; Vice -President, Pam Oster; Secretary, floating; Press Report- er, Rhonda Johnston. Their leader Mrs. Richmond went over the requirements for the club and outlined the club, Mrs.. Van Steeland talked about the colour wheel.

' Late Saturday afternoon, after watching the Olympics, I went into the kitchen, looked at two days' dishes in the sink, said, "Screw this for a lark," and went out for dinner. Then I went to a truly dreadful show called The Gunfighter, which niy wife wouldn't be caught dead at. I loved it, I've loved westerns since was eight.

There certainly are sonic bonuses, though I'm running out of clean shirts, and ironing them is one of the few things I'm a bit shaky on. However, secure in the know• ledge that my Wife would be home on the weekend, and able to devote her usual eighteen hours a day to my comfort and general welfare, I was happy. Then the bolt cams.

Or six weeks, In order to let my daughter try to get her year at college, and finish off her degree work. My response was immediate. A roar of: "Holy Old Nelly!" a longish pause, then, in a very mild voice, "That'll be nice,dear. Won't it?" The only response from her was a chuckle that would have made Boris Karloff jealous, and, indeed, did freeze my blood. Then she trilled: "You'll he able to take him out on his toboggan every day after work, Yabbutt, There's no particular war on, Famine is scarcely stalking the land, And the only earthquake is the one in Guatemala, 1 have a feeling, for the enteenth time, that we've been had, by Kim. know Trudeau has three boys, and I'm younger' than he.

LEWIS "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine" and a physician with a\ cheerful mind possesses the best prescription. Throughout this informative book the author, who\ was the first woman to receV,e a medical degree from Washington University, shows a disarming appreciation of the importance of family relation- ships and their positive influence on the ;rapport between doctor and patient. Not only 'will the reader gain many practical insights into personal health and the care of others, but here is advice for all those who ever wished for quiet reassuring talk with their family physician. JOHN AND JEAN GEORGE When Doug, had come to • Gotham, the ghost town high in the Colorado Rockies to spend the summer with his grandfather, he had thought that nothing could interest him more than prospect- ing for gold with the old miner. It was by accident that Doug caught sight of a strange bird in Copper Creek. it was a water ouzet or dipper bird. Doug became very interested in this bird family and its struggle for survival. There is mystery, suspense, and dramatic action against the lavish back- ground of summer in the Rocky Mountains. .

Plants like dieffenbachias, dra• cenas, rubber plants, and large - leaf philodendrons are common houseplants in this group that can be saved, "Rather than discard one of these plants because of its size or shape, try using your green thumb to air -layer a good part of the plant," says R, • A. Fleming, horticulturist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. "Air layering is like rooting a cutting without removing the cutting from the plant until the roots have formed." To propagate with air layering, an upward cut is made thrpugh a third to a half of the stem where the roots are required, The cut is wrapped in damp peat moss, then covered with plastic to enclose the peat moss, The plastic should be tied both above and below the wounded arca. The plant then can be allowed to grow normally. In two to three months, roots will have penetrat- ed the peat moss and the newly rooted plant can be Fut from the parent. Pot it, and you are ready to start all over again. The horticulturist concludes that air layering is one,' of 'the simplest ways to renew, old plants. WEEK AFTER WEEK, M H AFTER MONTH!

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 10, 1976. Only' woman knows for sure, Ann says DEAR ANN LANDERS: I was disappointed in your answer to the young woman who wanted to know if a man can tell for certain whether or not his bride is a virgin, You said "no," By inference you were encour• ' aging non -virgins to lie by assuring them they could get away with it. Any doctor will , be dangerously misleading. inform you that a man can tell. 1 Should he encounter no difficulty, don't know how far you can go in your column, but I'll try to put it a delicately as. possible. Virgins are more difficult to penetrate and often there is bleeding. You did a great many people a disservice when you gave that fallacious answer. 1 trust you will redeem yourself by printing my letter. -W, Va. DEAR W.VA.: My answer was correct, but here's your letter anyway. It gives me an opportun- ity to repeat the information in more explicit language. Some virgins are difficult to penetrate and there may be some bleeding, But in most instances such is not the case. To say the groom can tell for certain would he might suspect his bride had had some previous sexual exper- ience when such was not the case, and that could get the marriage off to a very rocky start. DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 used to think your column was just entertainment, but now that 1 need help, I have a different view of it. My son is 21. We live in a trailer which is very comfortable, but it's not like you can walk into another part of the house if something bugs you, Ernest has this girlfriend who comes over every night. She talks constantly and is one of those people who laughs when she talks, (Nothing is funny.) She makes me so nervous I can't see straight. The girl never • stops talking and laughing. The minute Ernest comes from work she is here and she stays on and on. She has no job and Ernest is helping her pay for a new car, Last night she was here until 2:00 a.m. talking and laughing Shuffleboard league ends schedule By JIM BUTTON INTENDED FOR LAST WEEK Well, we're all done with our scheduled games and Team two came out on top. There was a couple of fellas absent Monday night so Ken Johnston of Team 1 and Elmer Debold of Team Three played together as a team for the behind with 481 taking fifth spot and the sixth place to Reg Brindley totalled up to 473 and Bob Watkins took seventh place with 429. In eighth place was Carman Riley who scored up 361 pts while Murray Walsh scored 329 to take 9th spot Ken Bird took • tenth position with 297 while Geo night. McClinchey took eleventh with gHarold Knox wound up Top 255 and Steve Layton scored 205 for twelvelth spot. Team scores were as follows: Jim Button, Brian Brindley; Team 2, 36 games Speed Johnston, Bob Watkins; Team 1, 30 games. Elmer Debold, Carman Riley; Team 3, 29 games, Harold Knox, Man with a high score of 561pts. Second in line was Jim Button who with a score of 518 just edged by Elmer Debold who came up with 514. Fouth down the list was Ken "Speed" Johnston with 486 while Brian Brindley was close Murray Walsh; Team 4, 28 games, Reg Brindley, Ken Bird; Team 5, 22 games, Geo McClin- chey, Steve Layton; Team 6, 12 games. The Shuffleboard League are planning a banquet in the near future after a 3 night schedule of playoffs. One trophy has already been donated to the league which was appreciated and would further appreciate more donations for trophies. There are 4 more trophies we have to get and as the league is yet young we arc a little shy of funds. more than usual, Finally, 1 asked her what her mother thinks when she stays out so late, She didn't answer, but Ernest gave me a look that nearly took the paint off the walls. What can I do about this nerve-wracking situation? -- Only His Mother DEAR MOTHER: You can tell Ernest you are entitled to some privacy and then insist on it: Suggest he visit laughing girl at her home, or the two of them can join other friends. Allow him to entertain her two evenings a week in the trailer and make plans, whenever possible, to be else- where. DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 hope that fellow in San Francisco doesn't pay any attention to you because if he gives up his Scotch terrier for his fiancee he'll regret it. You said, "It shouldn't happen to a dog." 1 say, "It shouldn't happen to a man." So what if the dog eats off his plate? Remember the line, PANT SUIT S In Knits and Polyester Gabardine wrinkle proof and washable "Cleaner than a hound's tooth"? Any veterinarian will tell you a dog's mouth has less germs than a human's, My golden retriever is less demanding and much more faithful than the woman I let live with me for 15 months. What's more, I can always count on her for a warmer reception than I ever got from any dame, --Beacon Hill DEAR B.H, So move into a kennel already and make some woman happy. It's not always easy to recognize love, especially the first time around.
