The season is scheduled to open on July 3 and run Tuesday through Saturday each week for six weeks. Last year's season ran for :our weeks. The preliminary budget calls for an expenditure of nearly $40,000 this summer for the longer season. for more plays and a larger cast and crew. Last year the Summer Festival had a budget oI' $10.000. Rent alone this summer will total $1500. For many local people the feature of the season will he the return oI' Mostly in Clover, based on the Harry J. Boyle books about growing up in Huron County. Most of the original cast including Jim Schaefer, Ron Swartz, Angela Guy and writer Steve Thorne will return to take part in this and other productions. Threc other works are scheduled, although the exact length and scope of the season is still dependent on government grants received and fund raising efforts. Jim Schaefer is presently working on 0 country and western musical about a small town boy who goes to Montreal Olympics. Huron county native Alice Munro will have a production of her warm story "How I met My Husband"; The final production is a new musical version, done especially for Blyth -Summer Festival of The Blood is Strong, which was originally a comic play by Lister Sinclair about homesick Scottish settlers trying to farm in Canada. The ambitious season will mean that fundraising will be an important duty of the board of directors in the coming months. It was pointed out that about $6000 must be raised through donations to supplement the expected box office receipts and government grants. The financial situation was made tighter by the decision of the directors to go ahead Sprucing up with additional improvements to Memorial Volunteers have been giving St. mtenaers Roman Catholic Church In Blyth a nngni new IUUK Hall as part of' the current Local Initiatives • Program which is seeing the hall restored In recent weeks.

The directors after inspecting the work that had been completed to date agreed with project coordinator Ted Hoogsteen that it would he a shame not to get all the work done at once. Artistic Director .lames Roy told the hoard that he understood unofficially that Wintario had approved part of the grant the group had applied for to purchase lighting equipment.

Proceeds from: the Om could go toward paying for the piano. She was encouraged by the other directors to try to find a donar for a piano so that a quality instrument would be available at all times in the Hall. A tour of inspection of the renovations to the Hall showed the stage floor had been recovered, the orchestra pit uncovered and a new railing installed, new heating ducts had been installed, all woodwork around the stage had been refinished as had all railings leading upstairs to the theatre, bars for lighting, equipment had been installed, and the scats had all been removed, repaired, painted and the floor sanded and refinished. Workmen were busy installing the scats again this week and all will be back in place by April 6 the opening of Straitjackets. Despite cutbacks education bill could increase 35 per cent BY ROSS HAUGH Despite a reduction of about $400,000 in the proposed budget for 1976 for the Huron County Board of Education county ratepayers could face a tax increase as high as 35 per cent. During a special meeting Monday night, the Board authorized a 20 per cent in budget formula items along with most parts of an additional 13 point program to further lower expenditures for this year. In opening the lengthy discussion board chairman Herb Turkhcim said, "If we went without any restraints in spending we could end up with a 50 per cent increase in school levies. We have to face reality. A lot of people in the county just couldn't afford it. Superintendent of Business Affairs Roy Dunlop said the increase in levies could be 35.8 per cent but he added, "the big question mark is our operation for 1975. - The audit is now underway and this could make a big difference." In talking about the proposed cuts, Fixed costs which are not affected by any budget cuts include salaries, transporta- tion, plant maintenance, etc. The .provincial grant rates for Huron county are also reduced this year. Dunlop said the secondary grant ceiling was reduced by 4.5 per cent and the elementary by 1.6 per cent. In supporting the budget cuts Cayley Hill commented, "If this county and province think the economic situation is bad now, it's only a picnic as to what can happen if this trend continues. We don't seem to realize how serious it is," Trustee Marian Zinn added, "If we as board members don't make the cuts, somebody will do it for us." Budget chairman John Elliott of Blyth said the cuts of 20 per cent in formula items caused the most discussion with represent- atives from the secondary and elementary school principals. Elliott continued, "We originally met with the two principal groups and they generally accepted the first 10 per cent cut Goderich trustee Cayley Hill said, "1 would and we asked them to consider a second like to point out that we don't have really much to play with as 75 per cent of our total budget are fixed costs." This was verified later by Dunlop who said fixed costs in 1975 for the secondary panel welt 78.9 per cent and for the elementary sectof at 78.6 oer cent. reduction of the same amount. I'm very dissapointed that no action was taken to decrease their expenditures by another 10 per cent." Both principal associations were repres- ented at Monday's meeting and presented briefs outlining their concerns. One of the additional cutbacks in budgets concerned secretarial assistance in schools. The number of hours of secretarial assistance in elementary schools will be reduced from 757.5 hours per week to 581.5 hours per week. Dunlop said this would work out to an average of about seven hours per week reduction in each school in the county. At the same time the number of secretaries at the board office in Clinton was reduced by two. Director of Education Jdhn Cochrane said this would effect a reduction in salaries of about $11,000 per year. One position will become vacant in two weeks and a replacement will not be made and the second position will become redundant on May 1. The fees for driver education will be raised from $25 to $35 per pupil. John Elliott indicated this should result in an additional $4,000 in revenue and bring the program close to fee for service area. New fee schedules for night school courses were approved which will generate another $7,000 according. to director Cochrane and make these programs more than self sustaining. Eight surplus school buses now used for field trips and transportation will be sold by sealed public tender. This will leave five extra buses owned by the Hoard. A freeze to the extent of $5.50 per secondary school student and $4.50 per elementary school pupil will be placed on the purchase of custodial supplies. Roy Dunlop said in previous years the custodial supply budget was related to the size of the school and what was spent the year before. The second 10 per cent of the cuts in budget formula items will be worked out between the budget committee and the administration. Farm groups get money to battle Hydro The Foodland Steering Committee, representing six Huron County public- interest groups, has been awarded an $18,000 grant by the Royal Commission on Electric Power Planning. The grant is the second-largest of 11 grants made by the commission for preparation of submissions to the commission. The largest grant, $25,000, goes to the Sierra Club of Ontario. The Huron group represents Concerned Farmers of United Townships, Huron Power Plant Committee; National Farmers' Union, Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Christiati armers' Federation of Ontario and the'truce-Huron Power Negotiating Committee. 1 PG. 2.

Pitting city against country The current crackdown on spending of the provincial government seems wittingly or not, to bet pitting country people against city people. There is little real doubt that the current hospital cutbacks arc directly political. The much publicized $50 million cuts are a mere drop in the bucket compared to the budget of the health Ministry, It seems obvious that the Minister of Health set out to make cuts that would generate a lot of publicity but lose few votes. The natural place was in small towns where the closing of a whole hospital would go over with a bigger bang than the mere closing of a wing of a large cityhospital, even if it didn't mean as big a dollar saving. The snowballs hurled at Miller made him a hero in Toronto and other cities which saw many trying to save money. City people, after all, weren't being hurt by the closings of small hospitals. Mr..Miller's part wasn't endangering many • votes either because nearly every closure was in a riding already held by the Liberals. Did the ploy work? Well to judge from the reaction last week to the possibility of a spring election, it 'most certainly did. City newspaper and radio stations almost to a one condemned the Liberals and New Democrats for daring to force an election. Gordon Sinclair suggested that if an election came, the vote should be heavy for the Conservatives to show the opposition parties that they'd made a no -no. Is it any wonder the opposition parties have been hesitant about backing the rural hospitals more strongly? (The same voices that screamed against an election ridiculed Stuart Smith when he began to have second thoughts about an election). The hospital showed I issue has once again sho ed that votes are. the big thing, that politicians are willing to exploit rural people any time if it means that it will please urban voters. It's a sad, sad situation...but the saddest thing is that there is little rural people can do about it. Time for a crackdown Whether it was the seatbelt legislation, or the lowered speed limit or some other obscure reason, the deathrate on Ontario highways dropped dramatically according to Ontario Provincial Police since the introduction of the new regulations some months back. In a time when tare newspapers are dominated by bad news, it was a welcome break.. But for anyone who has travelled on area highways lately, there's the knowledge that the change may not be permanent. In the early weeks of the new speed limits it was amazing how consciencious the ordinary car driver was. Only the odd driver seemed impatient to drive at speeds higher than the posted limits. As the weeks went by, however, the speed of traffic increased little by little. Today, if driving conditions are good, you can bet that the majority of cars on highways in this area will be travelling from 60 to 70 miles per hour, just as in the old days. Ontario Provincial Police have been very sensible about not coming down too hard on either the new seatbelt or the new speed limit laws, but it's time now for them to begin enforcing the laws more closely. It seems that we ordinary citizens must be treated like children who will only obey a rule if they think they might be caught not obeying it. The fact that people are ignoring the speed limits now that they aren't being enforced shows once again that despite the pleas of people that they are grown up enough to make up their own minds on things like seatbelts, they aren't intelligent enough to take common sense steps that may save their lives: like slowing down to the speed limit or buckling a seat belt, Who are they kidding? Well the Canadian Labour movement made its big noise on Monday and if it accomplished little else, it may have warmed the temperatures on parliament hill a couple of degrees and made the tulips bloom a little earlier. The 1500 or so union members from across the country who visited the capital to protest price and wage controls tried hard to make it seem they were the poor, ill-used victims of the controls program. Somehow they seemed to get little sympathy from the government or the people of Canada. The unions were trying to perpetuate the myth of the downtrodden worker in Canada with their wailings but most people won't buy the tale of woe any more. Why should they? They can see, after all, that most of the rulings of that cursed anti-inflation board have allowed wage settlements of 10, 12 even sometimes 16 per cent. Meanwhile.in recent months the inflation rate has been slowly decreasing every month. The rate is now under 10 per cent and dropping. Over the last three months the yearly rate has been only 4.5 per cent, almost like the good old days. Yet union leaders insist on claiming that they are hard used because the program controls wages but, according to them, not prices. The ordinary Canadian also sees that the union workers are not the oncs who suffer. They'll get the best raise allowed under law. It's the non -unionized worker who is likely to be hurt more by the program. Yet we have idiots like Quebec labour leader Louis Laberge making veiled threats of a worker uprising if the controls aren't relaxed. Surely it's time our union leaders grew up. If they want to be treated like adults, they should act tike adults. 5.55 School principals concerned about education cutbacks BY ROSS HAUGH A brief presented to the Huron County Board of Education Monday night by the Huron Principals' and Vice -Principals' Association indicated they were quite concerned about the proposed additional cutbacks in the 1976 budget. These cutbacks s were approved ved by in the meeting, the board later The brief was as follows: "We realize the necessity for restraints brit find these additional measures will have a great detrimental affect on present programs in general and on our students in particular while realizing a minimal saving. If the financial situation warrants it, we will do our best to support the following recommendations: initial 10 per cent cutback in formula items; no new capital additional items for 1976; inclusion of capital replacement items as a part of the formula for 1977; energy saving measures; study of rate schedule for extra curricular use of schools. Mr. Cochrane has challenged us to maintain our standards while within a program of restraints but we believe this challenge becomes unrealistic if the additional recommendations are imple- mented. To reduce the present number of secretarial hours will mean that some work will simply not be done while some will be postponed, Naturally a decrease in service will result. Public relations would be severely limited. Telephone messages relayed or promptly dealt with through the secretary will be curtailed and community contact will be reduced, BY KEITH ROULSTON Is 1984 just around the corner? Are we facing a state-controlled society? The signs that "Big Brother" is watching are growing at an alarming, rate. Everywhere •you turn are new government regula- tions on this or that. Wage and Price controls. Seat belt legisla- tion. Gun controls. Every time a new law comes in, new screams go up that we're approaching a police state. Yet for everyone who cries foul because of a new law, there is someone else, an ordinary citizen like you and 1, who has been pushing for the passage of such a law for a long time. How long, for instance, have we been hearing the demand for gun control? How long have people been saying there must be seat belt legisla- tion? . Many people like to see increasing government control as a plot to make us all serfs. But are they? Are they something initiat- ed by governments or something brought in by governments as an answer to demands from people? There may be cases of the former, but my memory would seem to show that most of the new laws have been an answer to people's demands that something be done to solve specific problems. And while laws may hurt us as individuals, most are for the benefit of society. We've heard complaints about the new gun legislation for instance but what does it really do? It makes it a little harder to -own a gun, but no harder than owning a car. Millions of people manage to bear the red tape to own a car so it seems resonable that those who really need guns, will be able to get them without trouble. What it may do is help limit the number of guns lying around. A gun in the wrong hands is a dangerousd weapon. Perhaps, just perhaps, a Much capital has already been spent through the tendering of supplies, leaving a limited budgeted amount for further spending, Textbook purchase will be reduced greatly at a time when changes in program require a definite expansion of the, present supply, The metric system itself may remain to rc ain at. an introductory phase at this time, Remedial programs and standardized testing will have to be reduced greatly or possibly curtailed. Elective programs, science fairs and other special activities will have to be reduced and possibly eliminated in some schools. Several schools indicated specific con- cern over limited possibility for expansion especially since several libraries have just been initiated and inventory is limited, Outdoor education and field trips have been reduced by 50 per cent in 12 schools with five schools totally eliminating budget support. Many graduation exercises will be cancelled or become -parent supported in order to be maintained and public relation activities such as open houses may have to be limited. Great reduction is inevitable in organized sports programs, especially as result of cutback of bus availability. Many of the excellent tournaments of recent years may have to be curtailed. The elementary principals' brief was presented by Don Finkbcincr of Stephen Central and Bruce Robertson, Howick Central, Robertson said with a 20 per cent cutback his school budget would be reduced to $17,945.68, He added, "Over half of that amount has already been spent on goods ordered last September," The alternative to laws is self-discipline few lives may be saved by making gun owners take a little more responsibility for their weapons, It stems to me that the one way we're going to get rid of the need for more laws, is if we as individuals show more common sense. You don't lay down a rule for your child unless he or she has shown the. need for it. Isn't government much the same? If we want to head off future laws and make the laws we have redundant, then we're going to have to work hard to turn our whole society around. We've got to throw out Doctor Spock and his permissive method of raising children and return to a disciplin- ed society, one that has basic regard for the rights of others and plays down the selfish aspect. We've got to work hard to restore Christian morality whether that means a massive return to organized churches or simply a realization that morality is a Atoms take The Blyth boys will have completed another season after next Monday night and to finish the season the boys have decided to play the parents. If you recall last year the game ended in a 6-6 tic, but the boys awarded the trophy to the parents for their great effort. This year, captain Jim Chal- mers is -a doubtful starter but the necessity, not a dirty word. In other words, we've got to snow self-discipline. Each of us, looking back, would say we've come a long way since our childhood. But really, if you let people run for very long without rules, they'll return quickly to the kind of selfishness that they showed as children. That selfish- ness was only curbed by our 'parents forcing us to sec that other people matter too, and that one couldn't have everything they wished. Grownups don't have parents to enforce this morality. They either have government, or churches, or the pressure of friends and neighbours who find it repugnant to see someone cheeting on tax .forms or ripping off the local grocery store, or just plain being selfish. If we don't make the latter two groups do the job, then the government must step in to protect the victims of this selfishness. on parents parents team will have back such 1grej.ts ...asf...

Disagreements arose between the teams concern - cd the W.O.A.A. A ruling by the W.O.A.A. on the matter will be known Tuesday night. Goal scorers were Ronnie Howson, Darryl Chalmers and Kent Howatt.

PG, 5. Blyth Library holds many interesting books THE TRIAL OF MAKT1N ROSS By ALFRED ROSS At first glance, this is a quiet novel about a well -married couple, Martin and Janet Ross on a long a T>'d snowy Thanksgiv- ing weekend, This was to be the first holiday on which none of their three children would be coming home, ' and although the children were not there, their presence was constantly felt, as the Rosses manifest the tensions of two vital people in, an anxious society, Martin Ross feels his work, his success, and even himself on trial, and conducts his own defence in the name of all intelligent, critical and concerned parents who refuse to give up on their children, themselves or the future, This is a lovestory for grownups with some tears but more laughter.

BELGRADE BRANCH A BRANCH OF U O UNITED CO.OPERATIVES OF ONTARIO PG, 6. THE BLYTH STANDARD, MARCH 24, 1976. Report from Queen's Park Opposition argues truth of hospital closure BY MURRAY GAUNT This week in the Legislature, the two Opposition Leaders participated in the debate on the Speech from the Throne. Both leaders strongly criticised the Provincial Government, particu- larly for the policy of arbitrarily closing down hospitals in the Province. The Government anticipated saving some 40.50 million a year by closing or cutting back on hospital expenditure. The Oppo- sition maintained that the Government has not proved that the savings claimed will in fact result from the hospital closures, and they are being carried out with little apparent concern for the impact on the communities in which the hospitals are located. Based on figures issued by the Ministry of Health, instead of saving money there is going to be a net loss of $527,000 in the closing of Goderich Psychiatric Hospital. It was also mentioned that, if the Province had held the private medical laboratory indus- try to a 15 percent increase in its annual billing's to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, about 65 Peewees take first game against Drayton On Friday, March 19, the Blyth Peewees played the Drayton Peewees in the first game of the semi finals for the W.O.A.A. consolation playoffs. This was another hard fought game from start to finish. Blyth took an early lead but Drayton kept corning back all through the game, The game ended 8 = 5 for Blyth. Goal scorers for Blyth were Robbie Plunkett with one, Bruce Hunking with one, Kevin Coultes with two, Frank Van Dongen with one, Donnie Reid with one and Neil Elliott with two. Assists went to Bruce Hunking with two, Jerry Hoggarth with two, Frank Van Dongen with one, Neil Elliott with one, Wes Burkholder with one, Kevin Coultes with one and Jim Oster with two, On Saturday, March 20, the Blyth Peewees journeyed to Goderich to play in the annual Young Canada Week. They . played Thedford in the first game at 9;20 a.m. Both teams played a strong game with Blyth leading by 6 to 4 with 6 minutes left in the game. The Blyth boys seemed to just run out of steam in the final minutes of play and Thedford tied it up and went on to win in overtime by a 7 to 6 score. Goal scorers ofor Blyth were Wes Burkholder with one, Bruce Hunking with two, Frank Van Dongen with one, Robbie Plun- kett with one and Kevin Coultes with one. Assists went to Frank Van Dongen with one, Robbie Plun- kett with one, Kevin Coultes with one, Bruce Hunking with one and Wes Burkholder with one. In the second game played in Goderich at 5:30 p.m. against the Ripley Peewees was another hard fought game by both teams. Ripley scored first and it stayed 1 to 0 until midway through the third period when Blyth tied,it up on a goal by Bruce Hunking assisted by Robbie Plunkett. All through the game it was end to end hockey with both teams missing some good chanc- es to score, At the end of regulation time the score was tied one to one, so another overtime game was on the way. Before the overtime period Coach Stewart gave the boys a few encouraging words to help them up for the second overtime game of the day. Blyth got the face off and kept possession of the puck, skated in Blyth euchre There were eight tables in play at Monday nights weekly euchre. Winners were as follows: high lady, Kay De Long; high man, Mr. Simpson; ladies low, Mrs. Dora Shobbrook; men's low, Harold Cook; ladies lone hands, Mrs. Jessie Jones; men's lone hands, Mr. Proctor. There will be another euchre next M'dnday night at 8 p.m. Everyone welcofie. on the Ripley goalie and Kevin Coultes scored unassisted, with just 8 seconds played in overtime. The game ended 2 to 1 for Blyth. Blyth will now return to Goderich on Friday, March 26 to play another game at 2 p.m. Tom Cronin and Andrew Ives shared the goaltending duties and both did a fine job. million would have been saved, $35 million of it this year. Both Opposition Leaders put forward amendments to the Throne Speech criticising the Government for lack of responsi- bility in forcing school boards and municipalities to increase proper- ty taxes to home owners and tenants, for lack of financial responsibility generally, and for the cutbacks on hospitals and savings laboratories, In view of the amendments it is possible that an election may result, although at the time of writing that situation remains uncertain, The Attorney General has indicated that he does not think • there should be a public inquiry into the Ontario private lab industry, if criminal charges result from investigations into Abko Medical Laboratories Ltd. The investigations into Abko resulted from stories that the firm's records indicate the Ontario Health Insurance Plan' had been billed for tests on patients which were in fact never carried out.

If she didn't sell the products, her melodic seductive voice and naturally charming good Tucks probably sold her! Now you're about to see her in a new role - that of a panelist on "This Is The Law". She is replacing Susan Keller who also is primarily an actress but, also docs television commercials which in many cases, is where the money is. No reason is given for Susan's leaving the show; per- haps it was not giving her enough time to be creative. Seventy-four candidates were interviewed and auditioned for the role and the versatile Ms. Amato came up with it. Susan actually left the show at Christ- mastime but some shows were taped so you've still been seeing her lovely face. Also leaving the show will be Larry Solway who has his own late-night talk show out of Toronto. Tentative plans call for a different guest to occupy his panel chair each week rather than a regular replacement. "This Is The Law" has become almost an institution in many Canadian homes and Keller, Solway, Bill Charlton, Hart Pomerantz and host Austin Willis have been the stalwarts who have always been associated wiliirt: But Amato is a good choice and a guest will add variety each week so , doubt that it will suffer. The lawbreaker, of course, continues to be Paul Soles wiro, when you really think of it, has the most difficult role on the show. 00000 The on -again, off -again, on - again romance of the famous modern-day Antony and Cleopat- ra is now off -again. Absence docs not make the heart grow fonder, it only makes the feet go wander. Ask Richard Burton or Elizabeth Taylor. Richard has a Broadway show on the go, "Equus", and critics, praised his performances as an actor. Meanwhile, back in Swit- zerland, Elizabeth wiled away the hours with a handsome gentle- man from the island of Malta. Following which, Burton heard, and cried on the shoulders of a pretty English model. Elizabeth turned 44 on February 27 and a big birthday party was planned in a huge New York restaurant. But under the circumstances, the party would not have been all that gay anyway and she by-passed New York and went instead to California where her mother lives. She celebrated quietly with , Mama and, would you believe, Henry Wynberg, old friends from between -the -Burton - marriages days. After all, what good is a friend if you can't use him? Next move in the checker game is anyone's guess. Taylor and Burton will probably never really live without each other but it's becoming apparent they cannot live with each other either. Sad indeed, that two such talented and beautiful people must let themselves become involved in children's games and hurt so many others with their juvenile behavior. 00000 There were few big surprises in the Juno awards last Monday with Brussels. The second game was Blyth 3, Goderich 2 with Todd MacDonald scoring. The last game against Atwood was 2.2 at the end with Todd MacDonald scoring. They played five minutes over and Atwood won 3-2. Todd MacDonald won a hockey stick for Blyth's Outstand- ing player. Scott Machan did good goal- tending in all games, evening. Ihese Canadian awards Midgets lead are voted on by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and series with Sciences and every year, a few of the same people show up to grab their share. I get a little tired of Anne Murray and her family telling how many .1unos she has! So she has .one on every step • who cares? She was named the best country gal singer. Murray McLauchlan was the best male country artist. The Mcrcey Brothers took honors for best country group. In the pop field, it was Bachman -Turner Overdrive who took the majority of .1unos • for best group of the year, best single ("You Ain't Seen Nuthin' Yet"), and album of the year ("Four - Wheel Drive"). Gino Vanclli was the best male artist of the year and Joni Mitchell the best female. Hagood Hardy took two awards, for best composer and best instrumental artist ("The Home- coming"). As usual, Gordon Lightfoot was named the folk singer of the year. New artists, who often go on to win the big awards the following year, were Patricia Dowcliffe, Dan Hill, Myles and Lenny. Catching only a glimpse of the proceedings, these gals need to, receive awards for singing; they'd never win anything for dress! Lions Head On March 18 the Blyth Midgets travelled to Lion's Head to play Lions Head in the best two out of three series. Blyth won by a 13-7 score.

This is what Ontario is doi to help you save. Your Ontario Government's goal, by 1980, is to reduce by one-third the growth rate of energy consumption in the province. To achieve that, eleven Ministries of your Government are working together in the Ontario Energy Management Program. The Program has two objectives — to find ways to help you cut your own energy bill, and to find ways of using your province's energy more efficiently. Right now, the Program consists of 70 wbrkind projects, including: .• testing ways to reduce fuel consumption in automobiles and farm operations; • improving he heating and coolin systems in overnment building. (which has already cut some energy bi Is by as much as 20 .) • finding ways ,• improve resid ntial natural gas a • oil furnace e iciency; • constructing a . testing a t ally solar -heated ho r e; • reclaiming waste ateria to produce energy; • sending an "Energy Bus" throughout Ontario to do on -the -spot analyses for industry (so far, annual energy cost savings averaging 20% have been identified).

This column will not appear until after their convention, but I'm still going around shaking my head iii -amused perplexity. Theme of the convention seemed to be "Healing old wounds." This phrase came up again and again, as the blood front the old wounds oozed steadily, paying no attention, Ione of the convention, aside from the thence, seemed to be, .,Open new wounds." And they were visible. pouring forth fresh blood. Not all the pious proclamations of solidarity, working together,' and we're-all-brothers-in-thc- great-Conservative-party could hide from any viewer that carrying a chiv was the order of the day. • By the time this appears in print, I have no doubt that Joe Clark, the new leader, slick as a seal when he took over, will look more like a porcupine, with all those daggers sticking out of his back. It's a good thing he weighs only 145 pounds. At least a skinny guy is a smaller target for the knives. What a scenario! Their leader, Robert Stanfield, was stepping down after eight harrowing years trying to get a crowd of mavericks to make sense. He's the best leader the party has had since Robert Borden. So what do they do as zippy opening for the convention? They hold a laudatory dinner for John Diefenbaker, .who has made things as difficult as possible for Stanfield, since the latter beat him out for the leadership. Mr. Diefenbaker needed that dinner like he needed a hole in the head. He has been honored quite often enough as the Grand OiJ Man of the party. And with his cgo, he doesn't need anybody to tell him how griat he is. Those Tories are something Oh, Stanfield was given a dinner too, but sort of second banana, if he'll pardon the expression. He laid it on the line. Told the Tories present they had to stop the infighting, and get together if they .werc ever to form a government. That was about as much use as me telling a class of students tht if they didn't do their homework, they would fail, Totally ignored. - Next day the cats turned up for the farce, The ' actors dict everything Shakespeare warned the players not to do. in the play Ilantlet.

Diefenbaker, never one to forget or forgive an insult, real or fancies, remembered that Joe ('larks had ‘worked against hint in a leadership campaign, and went to Wagner.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: I'm a 19 -year-old virgin and I'm sure I'm not as much of a freak as the girls 1 work with make me out to be. 1 hope you will print this letter in support of all of us who have decided that sex belongs in marriage. l,have dated at least 20 men in the last three years and I'm proud to say I never let anyone talk me into anything. I've been called "abnormal," "too religious," "chicken," "square," "frigid," and "just plain crazy." When the arguments got heavy 1 told a few clowns to buzz off. I never figured had lost anything of value when a high-pressure make -out artist didn't ask me out again. I knew one day I'd meet a man who would accept my view and not try to change me to suit his "needs." It happened a few months ago and we plan to be married in the fall. There is no hassling about how far to go, He knows my rules and is willing to abide by them. I feel good about myself and what's more, I'm not worried to death from month to month like • some girls 1 work with. Also, I'm not concerned about the side-ef- fects of the Pill (as so many women are these days) because I'm not on it. The peace of mind and self-respect make up for whatever I might be missing, and 1 can wait a few months to find out what it is.—All Together Dear Friend: 1 applaud a young woman who knows what she wants and what she doesn't want and has the courage to stick by her convictions. I've never received a letter from a girl who said she was sorry she saved herself for marriage, but I've This girl didn't buy those arguments received hundreds from those who didn't and were heartsick, 'thanks for writing. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Re- cently you spoke in Florida and made a strong point of being opposed to the idea of parents giving grown children money, Perhaps you arc aware of the law regarding cash gifts. When parents give money to their children it need not represent a Toss of income to the giver. It could be regarded as a tax-free "investment." According to U.S. law, a parent can give each child $3000 a year and not be taxed on it, This gift, when presented annually over a period of several years, reduces the size of the estate and a large inheritance tax is avoided. The return on the "investment" is the love and gratitude the parents receive from children who receive this lovely gift. You frequently mention the experts with whom you consult. Ice storm costs $4 million Cost of putting the hydro system back together again after the havoc caused by the early March rain, ice, and wind storms, will reach nearly $4 million. Ontario 'Hydro's Western Re- gional Manager E. G. Bainbridge said in London that even then permanent repairs will take• several more months to complete, adding extra cost to the total bill. The damage occurred to five hydro rural service areas covering some 6,000 square miles. "It's.ncarly impossible to fully appreciate the scope of the problems we faced, and the, herculean effort it took to fully restore services," said Mr. Bainbridge. "About 75% of our customers in the five most severely affected areas were without power at one point; for many it was over a week before restoration was How does it feel to he out on the street? • Find out.

Highlights of the damage are as follows: • 1570 hydro poles were broken on the rural system. 05214 miles of rural line (of a total 6996 miles) were 'out. •Over 700 men on -out-of-town crews increased five local arca forces to nearly 1000 men, using some 400 trucks, live helicopters, and 38 off-road type vehicles. •Over 30,000 trees had to he cleared from lines. •16;350 line breaks wcrc repaired on the conductors. •52,081 •of a total- of 70,081 customers had power off, many for an extensive period. 0315 tons of line hardware and material (exclusive of ‘vood poles) were used. 1975 Pontiac Astre, 38,000 Iles... 1974 Astre, 4 speed with r • dio 1974 Dart Si4ort, 2 door h , dtop 1974 Chryslei, 4 door sed , n 1973 Dodge \ Dart, 4 d i or, 6 automatic 1973 Chrysler, 2 door, h . rdtop 1973 Javelin, . door h : rdtop 1973 Chrysler .4 ' oor hardtop 2 - 1973 Astres 1972 Chev, 2 door hardtop 1972 Plymouth, 4 door 1971 Chrysler, 2 door hardtop CRAWFORD MOTORS CHRYSLER • DODGE PLYMOUTH.. WINGHAM ONTARIO 357-3862 • Why didn't you talk to an estate planner before you spoke out against this generous and financ- ially astute procedure? —Front Row, Center Dear Front Row: There was no need to consult an expert, I already knew the answer •= and it has nothing to do with estate planning or a gift tax. Your notion that an annual $3000 gift will pay off in terms of love and gratitude Is banana oil. Children don't love their parents because they give them money or gifts. In fact, excessive "generos- ity" can make a child suspicious. (Why are they trying to buy nie?") Unfortunately many monied people are advised by their tax consultants to "give it to the kids rather than to the government," • so they hand out the $3000 checks annually and set up irrevocable trust funds. Too often a teenager who knows. he's coming into. big bread at age 21' has no incentive 10 stay in school or work (heaven forbid), and you end up with a lazy bum on your hands. *** Parents, what should you -do if your teenager is having sexual relations? Ann Lander's new booklet, "High School Sex and How to Deal with It -• A Guide for Teens and Their Parents," gives no-nonsense advice_ on how ,to handle this delicate situation.
