This 'n' That It,takes,,,a brave adult to try 25-m4Ie bike -ride' ' Some local people are putting their muscles where there mouth is coming up September 18. Some hardy adults are going to take on the challenge of a 25 mile bike-a-thon to help raise money for the arena. Now considering that most adults that haven't been on a bicycle in many a year, that's indeed a real effort, On the surface it would seem like a safe bet to give a big pledge on the thought that few of the oldtimers can make it that far. This is one old diner who's thankful his old bike is out of commission, If he took part it would be he that was out of commission. 1111* The younger set will be busy that day too as young people from the Blyth Christian Reformed Church walk for the arena, They'll be on a 25 mile course too, though on a different route going from the farm of Fritz Datema to Walton along county road 25, back on the 9th of . Morris to Blyth's hotel corner then back to the Datema farm, Nearly 60 persons are expected to take part. 1111* Still on the arena, members of the committees in charge of 1 rebuilding and fund raising are reminded of the meeting at the' I Legion Hall, Monday at 8:30 p.m. 1111* l Mentioning that draw last week on the new car, we said it was the Legion that was sponsoring the draw. It is a combination affair between the Legion and the Lions, *1444 While the arena has been taking most of the headlines lately, work is still continuing toward the big Blyth Centennial next year. Preliminary work is starting on the publication of the Blyth history book, Susan Street and her committee of .young researchers and writers have been_ busy putting the work together. It should be interesting to finally see a written account of the history. ***** Crowds for the final perform- ances of Mostly in Clover in Blyth news briefs Mr. and Mrs, Harold Campbell of Ottawa were guests of his parents Mr, and Mrs, Howard Campbell on Saturday, Septem- ber 4.

Mental Health Centre began for children, youth With the election of a board of directors on September 1 the new Huron Centre for Children and Youth is off the ground. Work has been underway by a steering committee over the past four months though and persons attending the public meeting it Clinton September 1 received copies of a paper entitled, "A Proposal for Mental Health Services for children and Adolescents in Huron County". This paper outlines some of the problems the new unit will attempt to deal with and explains the proposed methods of operation. The service will provide resources for all children in the area between the ages of infancy and 19. At the present time there are approximately 15,000 children of school age resident within the county so that the groups target population would include all of those plus children- who are ' now pre-schoolers. The paper calls for assessment and resourcing to children and families in the home and school settings as well as crisis intervention. This would be accomplished through the mechanism of a mobile mental health team composed of representatives of various disciplines operating out of a centrally based location within the county. There are at present, within the county, a number of people with both the knowledge of the area and experience and training in the provision of mental health services for children. The new group would like to involve some of these people in the new service. The,staffing proposal calls for a director of an as yet unspecified discipline, -a consulting psychiatrist for one session per. week, a full time psychologist, front line workers (probably from the disciplines of child care work and public health) and special education teachers who would hopefully be funded through the Ministry of Education. Initially, the program will require office space located at various centres within the county. This question is being examined with an eye to using already existing space under the auspices of the Huron County Health Unit and under the auspices of the Separate School System which has space lncted in the former Queen Elizabeth , School in Goderich. Some of this space would be used as a central office for the director and secretarial support services for the program. A tentative budget for the service has been put forward. This suggests $20,000 per annum for the director: $72,000 per annum for six child care workers: $18,000 per annum for two secretaries: $13,000 per annum to cover mileage: $8,000 to cover benefits: $35,000 yearly for psychologial and diagnostic services: $3,000 yearly for rent; $6,000 per annum for office expenses and overhead and $10,000 yearly for a consulting psychiatrist. This brings the total of $185,000 the sum earmarked by the Province for operation of .such a unit in Huron County. THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 8, 1976. PG. 3. 15th annual Thresher Reunion starts Friday Believe it or not, it's 15 years since the first Huron Pioneer Thresher and Hobby Association Reunion was held in Blyth. The 15th annual reunion may be the biggest yet. It begins Friday and will continue Saturday and Sunday. Crowds have been building year by year and it is hoped that this year will see the largest yet. Over the 15 years the Reunion has been blessed with generally good weather and there will be special hope for good weather this year. Changes in the usual' plans have been necessitated by the loss of the Blyth arena. Usual tenants of the arena have been forced outside, One of the more popular portions of the reunion in the past years has been the beer garden. It will be held on the arena floor as usual but without the arena roof. As usual the big steam engines are the pride of the show and will draw the most attention. They will be used to power threshing machines and the saw mill and braker fans. There will also be the little engines, models of the big steamers. There'll be gas tractors and antique cars, a hay press, a team of oxen and other old implements. There will be many forms of entertain- ment during the event including an old tyme Fiddler's contest. And there'll be a chance to see the machines in action each day when the parade takes place at 4 p.m. 20 residents needed quickly for seniors apartments If Blyth is to get a senior citizens apartment project it must have 20 firm tenants by Friday; The Ontario Housing Corporation has given an ultimatum to the village to produce the tenants or do without. The situation is that the earlier 12 -unit building is uneconomical with the expensive site preparations required. If, however, enough tenants can be found, a 24 -unit building would be built. The Ontario Housing Corporation earlier conducted a survey and said there weren't enough people needed the units. Hard work by local officials and Huron -Bruce M.P.P. Murray Gaunt, however, won the concession that if 20 firm commitments could be found by Friday, the plans would. go ahead. Clerk -treasurer Larry Walsh said Tues- day that there are 12 people now committed to taking units but others are urgently needed. Anyone who is willing to agree to move into the building should get in touch with the clerk at 523-4545 by Friday. School Fair will use Belgrave arena next week Definitely "yes" was the answer president Wm. Coultes when asked by a director at a recent meeting of the Belgrave, Blyth, Brussels school fair board, as to whether this years fair would be held as usual in the Belgrave arena. The 56th schoolfair will be held next Wednesday, September 15, beginning with a parade of the students of the three schools at 1 o'clock, followed by the official opening by guest speaker, Mr. Barry Wenger of Wingham. All the exhibits will be on display in the arena. A sports program and judging of the calf, hog, lamb, and pony classes outside Federation to health council BY RON SHAW The Education Committee of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture were instructed to prepare a brief outlining the Federation's stand and suggestions on the proposed formation of a Huron -Perth District Health Council after the group heard an outline of the porposal from guest speaker Dr. Frank Mills. Dr. Mills spoke to the monthly membership meeting of the group on September 2. Dr. Mills, Medical Officer of Health for Huron, explained that the proposed council will be made up of a group of citizens within the district who will serve as an advisory body to the Ministry of Health on planning integrated health services. In asking that the Federation prepare a brief he also urged that they propose at least one person as a nominee to the new body. He said the existing steering committee will file a list • of nominations with the Ministry of Health with their final report and that the participation of country groups in suggesting interested persons was desirable. Initially the District Health Council will be appointed by the Minister of Health, he explained. Once the council is established, the by-laws will make provisions for future appointments to the body. Dr., Mills said the council would establish priorities and should determine the health needs of the district and match those needs to the resources available. The formation of such a council, he suggested, could help provide comprehen- sive planning on an area basis rather than on facility or individual program basis. The needs of the Huron -Perth area could be outlined more effectively to the Ministry of Health through the council which would have the support of people in this area. It is also hoped that it could reduce the duplication of facilities and services through more effective planning. will be sure to make the afternoon very interesting and enjoyable for both the young and old. Two new classes introduced this year include a poster contest on the topic of "fire prevention". There is a class for both junior and senior students. Keil Insurance Agency, Wingham will judge and provide the prizes for these classes, Also new this year is the participation of both girls and boys in all the baking, sewing and farm mechanics classes. Bring your family and friends and enjoy an afternoon in Belgrave at Ontario's largest rural school fair. study idea Dr. Mills stressed to the meeting that he was merely trying to present the idea to the people of Huron and did not want the Federation members to feel that he was or was not trying to sell the idea. He pointed out that certain problems could be expected with the new council. With district planning there could be a tendency to downplay the identity of the patient, the professional and the individual institution. Inadequate or over zealous planning could result in a loss of facilities and professional services for some commun- ities. Dr. Mills also suggested that if there is an excess of political manoeuvering, the District Health Council could be.reduced to a rubber stamp, administrative process contributing little to efficiency or effective- ness, but adding cost. It was also suggested that the voluntary co-operation necessary between groups in health care and Social Services with different points of view may be difficult to achieve. In preparing a brief, Dr. Mills asked that the Federation consider five basic questions. '"Do you support the establish- ment of a District Health Council? What should the membership be? Suggest a few names for membership? What do you think the function of a District Health Council should be? List any other ideas and views that you would wish the Steering Committee to consider." Some members of the Federation felt that in the question of establishment of the council there was really no choice. If Huron was not agreeable now it would be shoved on the area in any case sooner or later. Bearing this in mind the group felt it would be better to take the opportunity to become involved in planning now. Otherwise the council might be run by the Ministry of Health with little or no local say. PC, 4.

Labour Day was another day of rhetoric from the Canadian Labour movement. Joe Morris was again telling us how hard used the labour movement is and how dictatorial the government is in its "all-out" attack on the labour movement. It's hard to remember, however, a year when Mere were so few tears shed for labour on Labour Day. Instead th':re was a steady sfream of condemnation for Mr. Morris and his colleagues, Writer after commentator (m'ost of whom are themselves union members) pointed out that it's about time that labour leaders stopped trying to make the tactics of the 1930's work in the 1970's. In the Depression, it was pointed out, the cries of hard use were real and meaningful. It was a time when big business held all the cards and the worker was merely a tool. Today however, often it is the businessman who is at the mercy of union members and the "working man", the plumber, the carpenter, the school teacher, even the garbage man, pull down salaries most white collar workers and small businessmen would envy. Yet the labour leaders continue to play the violins and sing hardtimes. They make particularly idiotic claims that workers are controlled in how much they can earn while "at every turn they are faced with increased living costs." They make it sound like the cost of living is going up by leaps and bounds while their wages are static. Yet the figures show that the cost of living, though still climbing too fast, is slowing while wages and salaries continue to increase at a pace far faster. How much do our hard used workers want? Just plain more, that's all, and damn the consequences. We can't stand by forever When does the belief in the inviolability of a nation state become something that must be set aside in the interests of mankind? To have a civilized world, we must believe that countries have the right to solve their own problems, without interference from outside its boarders. But what happens in cases such as Nazi Germany, where an immoral government can murder millions on a whim? What happens in the case of a country like Uganda where a maniacal tyrant keeps his people in terror, with thousands of people disappearing, never to be heard of again. And what happens in South Africa where a minority in strong control of the government imposes uncilvilized laws to keep a whole race of people in near -slave status? How long can we, in the western world, sit back and let the atrocities of Uganda, South Africa and Rhodesia go on? We have never been very proud of the situation that developed before the Second World War where the British government, with the blessing of other western nations, tried to appease Hitler by signing away the nationhood of millions of people. In doing so, we led indirectly to the deaths of millions of Jews. Yet today we sit back and watch what goes on in these African countries without even a spasm of conscience. We sit back comfortably in Canada and the U.S. and Britain and watch our situation comedies and laugh to forget that the rights and the lives of millions are being trampled on by inhumane governments. Surely we can't go on with this much longer. Surely we must try to do something to change the situation by economic sanctions as a minimum and military force if necessary. If we don't how can we claims to be civilized? A food price puzzle There it was on page 11, a tiny headline at the bottom of the page: Sugar price drops to '73 level; first surplus in years expected. The article went on to say that the price of sugar had dropped by as much as 50 cents for a two kilogram bag since the new year. That was close to a 50 percent drop in prices. Yet the editors of the daily newspaper thought it warranted only a small story buried deep in the newspaper. But if the price of sugar had gone up by that much.,.well, we all know it would have been headline news for days and editorial writers would have sharpened their scapels and called for a Royal Commission to investigate. There would have been charges of rip-offs and government not caring about the poor. The Canadian Consumer Association would have been up in arms and would be quoted liberally every day in the newspaper saying how evil•thie conspiracy• against the consumer was. We've seen the same thing, of course, in beef production. Many cattlemen have gone out of business in the last three years because of . low prices yet what do yoti see in,the headlines:, only warnings in huge type that beef prices are bound to go up soon. While the general trend in food prices has been upward in the past 20 years, food has been the only portion of the cost of living that actually corps down now and •then. Unfortuantely our doom and gloom leaders only tell us when food' goes up, not'when it comes down, thus Ieavirig many people wtio don't read page 11, with the idea that food prices only go one way. Flocks of flox BY KEITH ROULS'ruN The death of .10 people in an aircraft returning from a series of meetings by the Royal commis- sion into Ontario Hydro planning in the north on the weekend probably brought more attention to the meetings than would normally have been given. Among those, killed was Joe McCellend, veteran reporter and columnist with the London Free Press. He had been asked specially to take the trip by the chief of one of the Indian bands in the north because his earlier work had convinced the Indians that, unlike many southern reporters, he actually understood their problems and their desires. It gave a rather poignant touch to the whole story that his last column from the north appeared in the same paper as his obituary. In it he tells of the frustrations of the Indians of the north, of seeing their way of life destroyed by the decision makers of bodies like Ontario Hydro a 1000 miles away in downtown Toronto. Those of us in little towns, I think, can empathize with the Indians more than most. We can understand how a band of 1200 people feel when the government virtally says that they haven't a right to their way of Iife because "society" has a greater need. We've been kicked in the head a few times too. Still, there's a real moral conflict here that isn't easily solved. Much has been made of Canadians face a moral dilemma over northern development the plight of Indians in northern areas who are faced with revolutionary $evelopment that completely wipes out often not only their way of life, but the very land they live on. The James Bay project, with the flooding of thousands of square miles of country destroyed the land that the Indians had lived on and hunted and trapped• on for centuries. Suddenly their old homes, their centuries-old way of making a living was taken away, often with nothing to replace it. McClelland told in his column of one northern Ontario tribe of 1200 displaced by a hydro dam that was uprooted and left with no livelihood but welfare. It's a sad story and one that southern white society should consider carefully before it makes any more radical developments in the north. It would be nice, and it would perhaps be easier, to leave the Indians of the north to their own way of life. At the same time, however, can we morally continue to allow Canadians (Indians or white) the luxury of having 1200 people on 2b,0I0O square miles of land, which the Indians of Attawapiskat reuire to continue their lifestyle, while in many parts of the world people live nearly piled on top of each other and millions die of starvation? Can we continue to leave great portions of the second largest nation in the world undeveloped , and deny people from abroad the opportunity for fresh air and three square meals a day? The plight of the northern Indian is sad, but can it be any worse 'than the plight of the children of southern Asia, Africa and South America? Of course the saddest thing of all is that it doesn't really come down to that choice. In Canada, the Indians are likely to be flooded out and left to seek welfare not for the idealistic reason of giving the hungry of the world a new hone, but to give the spoiled Canadian middle class greater and greater luxury. The Indians 'will be displaced and at the same time tighter immigra- tion policies will be adopted to keep the hungry of the world from corning to Canada and taking the few crummy jobs that Canadians don't want to dirty their hands doing. The Indians are like the farmers of Canada: city dwellers may argue that low food prices are needed to feed our own poor and that full production of food is needed to feed the starving of the world, but what happens in reality is that greedy middle class simply wants cheap food so that a greater portion of the weekly pay cheque can go to things like golf club fees and trips to Bermuda every winter. Given such morals by the people of the south, can the Indians really hope for much justice, let alone the starving people of the third world? Letters to the editor Cathy Madill tells o THE EDITOR: Because many of your readers saw the Jerry Lewis Labour Day Telethon Against Muscular Dyst- rophy, 1 thought a review of my two month summer experience at Woodeden Camp, three miles west of Byron, London, where many of the campers were muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy victims might be of interest. Children were present, too, who were paraplegics caused 'by accidents and some were crippled by birth defects. Woodeden comprises 102 acres and accomodates a maximum of 64 campers and 50 staff. The purpose of the camp is to help crippled young people appreciate and benefit from natural surroun- Help sought for USC THE EDITOR On July 1 the USC entered its 32nd year of service overseas. It is only through the generosity and concern of thousands of Canadians that we are able to sustain vital programs in a growing number of countries.

Thanks for the jobs THE EDITOR: On behalf of the many students who found jobs this summer, we'd like to express our thanks to those home owners and employers who hired students this year. We at the Manpower Centre for Students would also like to thank the Blyth Standard for its help in providing publicity to the prob- lems students have in finding work. Even though many students still did not find jobs, placements through our office were up over 16 percent and, hopefully, even more students will be successful next year. We appreciate the confidence the employers and students placed in us by using our services. Yours truly, Christina Cann, Sandra Freeman, Jim Barnes. Manpower Centre for Students. Province aids Maitland Authority An Ontario grant of $150,000 will be awarded to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority over the next four years for land acquisition in the Saratoga; Swamp, Natural Resources Min- ister Leo Bernier announced' recently. Located along Sharps Creek in The Townshie of West Wawanosh, the swamp comprises 4,000 acres, of which 460 acres have been previously acquired. Flood control will be maintained in the area, which has been experiencing residential development pressures. Acquisition of the land will also protect the biological community in both•the swamp and Sharps Creek, which supports brook and rainbow trout. dings. Many came from Bloor- view Hospital for crippled child- ren in Toronto to give them group experiences. Those more handi- capped received joy from being dressed and fed by the less disabled. You could tell by their laughter that it was far more fun to be aided by a fellow camper than by a staff member. The less handicapped sometimes return as camp counsellors. The rule to - treat them as' children first and cripples second we were constantly made aware of. After their two weeks, in • camp, they were often amazed and pleased at how much they could do for themselves. ' Sixteen year old Tommy, suffering from a birth defect, last I year arrived at camp on crutches which he just could not manage. This year he arrived in a wheel chair. He was happy to know that he might live for many years, but sad to think that his three best friends, dying of muscular dystro- phy, he might not see again at camp. Tommy hoped that Jerry Lewis's efforts will bring in enough _ money to effect a complete cure for muscular dystrophy, and doctors think they are very close to a complete cure. There is a primary, junior, intermediate, and senior camp each lasting two weeks. A well organized program included swimming. There is one counsell- or to one camper in this exercise. Level 5 is equivalent to intermed- iate or senior certificates in Red Cross and 'some of the Senior THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 8, 1426:;::tO., S. - work with crippled atWoodeden campers achieved this level. In arts and crafts, they made beads and worked with plaster of paris. In nature craft, they were transported to a location on the grounds where they had a fire, had a cookout and slept out all night. They enjoyed music (some are quite good . singers) and drama. They loved preparing for and staging their concert on closing night. The Senior and intermediate camps had work- shops at which they learned, among other things, candle making and hairdressing and played at tennis and badminton. The most popular activity, of course, was boogie (dancing). It was the best summer I have had. I made friends among both campers and staff and 1 realize I helped a lot of people less fortunate than 1. I am more thankful now for what I have. I am mobile. Three campers have already written to me to say how much they enjoyed camp. I just don't like to think of the tears that were shed when they knew they had to return home. Visitors are always welcome at summer camp at Woodeden. YOURS SINCERELY, CATHY MADILL Newfoundlanders upset with Quebec THE EDITOR: On April Fool's Day 1949, the late Hon. Louis St. Laurent announced, with great eclat, that Newfoundland had joined the Canadian Confederacy. Only a short time before, in a National Referendum, the people of Newfoundland had voted by a margin of about four percent to join Canada. Before the Referen- dum was held, Mr. St. Laurent said he would accept the decision of the Referendum if there was a "significant majority" in favour of the move. Approximately 48 percent of Newfoundlanders claimed that joining Canada was a fraud, a delusion and a snare and they were being led down the garden path by a demagogue. Now is the time to prove them liars. Much was made of the benefits that would accrue to Newfound- land by lumping its fortunes with Canada. Little was said of the assets Newfoundland was bring- ing to the Confederacy. These have all been whittled away in the intervening years, much after the same manner in which Hitler whittled away at Europe until he came to Poland. The reason the whittling has been so successful is the lack of interest and under- standing by Ottawa and the Canadian Public. No one would listen to our side of any controversy or dispute. Poland in our case is Churchill Falls. We produce nearly 5,600 megawatts of electric energy there and the bulk of it is sold to Quebec. Now we are asking for the return of 800 of those megawatts but Quebec would sooner sell them to New York. One of the claims of those who supported our entry into the Confederacy was that we would never be able to support ourselves. They forget that "never" is a long day. The power generated at Churchill Falls sold at current rates would come so close to paying our way that we would be able to do away with quite a few of the taxes with which we are saddled today. Instead we are tied to a bad contract that still has 65 years to run. Quebec is paying us something in the order of three mills per megawatt for this power and selling it at forty odd. That, if there is any justice in Canada, is barefaced robbery. We are not demanding the return of all the power. We are asking for enough to develop our potential, • but Quebec will not accede to our request. Instead that Province wants to sell it abroad at a greater profit. Well Canada, what about it?

PG. 7. From the Minister's Study Lost in our own backyard [Based on Luke 15: 11.32] BY REV. STANLEY C. McDONALD LONDESBORO UNITED CHURCH One of Jesus most familiar stories, the story of the Lost Son, or the Prodigal Son, leaves many of .us with mixed feelings- Everyone, I'm sure is glad when a young prodigal comes to his sense and mends his ways. And everyone is glad when a Father nearing the end of his trail has his heart warmed by the return of the wanderer whose excesses could not but cause him heartache. But do not know suite what to do about the older brother. On the one hand we mark him as a kill-joy and wholly lacking in the love a brother ought to have for another. We acknowledge that it is childish of him to sulk outside while the welcome -home party goes on inside. The older brother is something else than wholly admirable, but we almost instinctively feel that there is something to be said for him and his attitude. After all, he had been loyal, he had stayed at home and tended to business,,. Nevertheless, one of the things that Jesus meant to say through the story, I believe, is that it is perfectly possible to be lost in our own back yard. The only prodigals are not those who squander their money in the 'far country'. Many a decent and honest and respectable person needs the forgiving love of the Father just as much as those who go in for riotous living! And because so many of you readers fall into the category of decent and honest and respectable folks, rather than that of those whose sins are those of harlots and the hogs, it's worth our while to see just where this old brother's trouble lay. How could he get lost so close to home? I think first, it is plain that he was lost in jealousy. Even reading thi: story very lightly discloses that familiar green-eyed monster. Jealousy whether large or small, is one of the most corrosive acids which attacl personality. In the second place, this young man was lost in feeling sorry foi himself. Probably more of us fall into this category than the first. Hit wail, as I'm sure many will recognize, was 'Nobody loves me'. His egc was wounded. His feelings were hurt. Since no one else seemed to be urcbc1)rut6 CHURCH Or GOD McConnel Street, Blyth CHURCH SERVICE: II a.m. • !

The older brother, and many of us, get lost in our own back yard simplay by feeling sorry for ourselves. In the third place, he was lost in self-righteousness. Hear his holier-than-thou statement; 'Lo, these many years I have served you, rand I never disobeyed your command....But this son of your....devoured your living with harlots.' Look! What a good boy am 1! Surely that doesn't sound like anyof us....Or does it? if jealousy is one of the most corrosive ways to be lost in our own back yard, and feeling sorry for ourselves one of the most Idebilitating,. certainly self-righteousness is one of the most subtle. And it is one of the most common 'failings of 'religious' people. The fourth thing: This young man was lost in his own back yard and didn't know it. He was sublimely oblivious to his own failures. It wa plain enough to him that his brother had gotten off the reservation, but he didn't know that in his own way he had tool So with us all• The points 1 have made we can all easily see in others, but, somehow, like the older brother, we just can't see them in ourselves. You can be lost and not know it. Spiritual Arrogance is not man's prerogative. The pompous may be as far from the Father as the sensuous, and the respectable as far as the skid -row derelict. This is parable of life. If God could have us as he wants us, it wouldn't be in those high hours when we're winning the applause of the world. It would be in the mood of penitence, for it is in that mood alone that we can be saved from being lost in our own back yard. • Wow., rawr srn ,- ✓MI O./• Unfit is' blah. pa—non Fitness.

SWEEP program 'Due to the shortened employment periods this year, Program 130 at Maitland Valley ended on August 20. Authority Work and all remaining municipal projects were completed during the final few weeks of the Program. The following is a summary of the field staff activities for the month of August. Falls Reserve Crews - General park maintenance and gate duty were again the major activities undertaken by the Falls Crew. Clean-up of washrooms, camp- sites and garbage, cutting grass, and painting and stacking picnic tables occupied much of the crews' time. Some additional time was spent in the Sharpes Creek area, as more logs and debris had to be winds up at M.V.C.AI.. removed from the stream bed and banks. Scything, brushing and clean-up for the town of Goderich completed the municipal work schedule for these crews. Wawanosh Valley Crews • Along with general clean-up around the administrative headquarters, some crew members were involved in dismantling the float which was entered in the Maryborough township centennial plus 25 parade. The float, originally constructed by Program 130 and Maitland Valley field staff, won third prize in its class. Some time was spent assisting the Falls crew at Goderich, and completing construction of the awning at the Brussels Mill. Repairs to a weeping bed at the Hullett council I'ooks at subdivision play for Auburn Hullett council looked at a possible new subdivision for the village of Auburn when it met for its regular meeting in Londesboro Monday. Nick Hill, Auburn -area resident and planner, presented the plan for the subdivision and explained it to the council. The council agreed to approve the plan in principal and proceed with the application to the Ministry of Housing. Also present at the meeting was John Nonkes to discuss the assessment of the Wilson drain. The clerk read two letters on the subject and Mr. Nonkes further explained he considered very unfair and out of date. Council felt too that there should be some attempt at updating the report. E. G. Uderstadt was named as engineer to do the reassessment. Building permits were issued to Fred Vodden, carport; T.B. Allen, I shed; and F. Van Steelandt, holding tank. Court of revision was held on the Westerhout drain with no objections or appeals. The report was accepted and tenders called for the drain. A resolution from West Carle- ton of hydro poles was endorsed. At a special meeting on August 23 and much of the time was used on drainage matters. The report of the Dubs drain was held was considered with Reeve John Jewitt stepping down from the chair because of possible conflict of interest. The report was provisionally accepted and court of revision set for Sept. 21. The same held true for the Gibbings Drainage Works A drain and the C drain. There was some misunder- standing on the Flynn Drainage Works Repair concerning the acreages and whether or not they were correct. It was decided that a petition for further work and an appeal to the ' court of revision would answer the problems.

In the village of Lucknow, the crews undertook brushing, river clean-up, and removal of fallen willow trees. Dead trees and brush were also removed and burned for the town of Clinton. Brussels Crew - While some crew members assisted with construc- tion of thenew mill awning, others were involved in landscap- ing the day use area, removing weeds and debris from the property, and installing parking barriers. Otherprojects included: removal of low branches from the Ethel snow course, garbage clean-up, cutting grass, replacing and repairing the footbridge at the Harriston C.A., placing additional gabion baskets along the stream banks at the Harriston weir, and assisting with the removal of trees from the Galbraith C.A. plantation. River clean-up was done for the town of Harriston, and the community centre in Moncrieff was painted. Galbraith Crews - After what seemed like a long summer of cutting, dragging and burning trees, the plantation management at Galbraith has been completed. Thinning of the plantation was the largest single project under- taken this summer. The Galbraith crew also constructed a set of sfeps at a cemetary near Gotham, and finished painting bridges and scything along the river bank for the town of Listowel. From verbal reports and letters of thanks, it would seem that member munici- palities are very pleased with the work accomplished this summer. It should also be mentioned that although there was a larger staff complement this year than ever before, there were no major accidents, no major injuries, and no vehicle damage. Some of the problems with the new 'administrative format have been solved, some still remain. It is the general concensus ' of supervisors, foremen, subfore- men and labourers that the number of people in the field far exceeded the number necessary. This caused supervisory difficulty and decreased Program efficiency.

To maintain this productive state, a marsh must undergo dry periods, which aerate the bottom mud and allow nutrients to be released. A marsh can be revitalized after prolonged flooding by lowering water levels sufficiently to expose the mud. Periodically these "drawdowns" will have to be repeated in order to maintain this now - productive marsh. 175 • '76 PIONEER THRESHER 15th : 6 NOBBY ASSOCIATION Annual REUNION ATER THRE FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY 'SEPTEMBER 10,11,12 .

On the Farm Report Farmershave Iittle control of prices BY GRACE STALKER Almost daily, city newspapers have large black headlines of doom and gloom about food prices: "Cost of living up as food prices rise", or "Farm -gate prices decline on several commodities, relief in sight for hard-pressed consumers." Such headlines, along 'with inflation, put consumer interests at odds with producer needs, as each group struggles for a better deal. The consumer asks questions: "Just what is happening down on the farm?", "Are we being ripped off?", "Are farmers getting rich at our expense?" The questions are endless --who will answer them? FARMERS AS PRICE -TAKERS Farmers have traditionally devoted their energies and concerns to the production of food. They have left marketing to their marketing board or to chance. Farmers have been "price - takers" rather than "price - Alpha group gets new members Huron County's Alpha con- tinues to grow. Twenty-three persons attended the August meeting, 10 of them for the first time: The members were reminded of the,day-long workshop for the handicapped and homebound to be held at Huronview in Clinton on September 8. News came from the Wingham Library that books taped on cassettes are available to the blind. Tape recorders to utilize the cassettes may also be borrowed. Other area libraries offer this service as well. Another interesting item was the decision of the provincial government to refund the sales tax on vehicles bought' by the handicapped in 1976. Entertainment may be coming our way. Inquiries will be made .to have the manager of a riding stable for the handicapped to show slides to the group in the near future. The next Alpha meeting will be held in the Holmesville School on Tuesday, September 28 at 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome.

Farmers have not been too concerned about consumer reactions, nor generally much interested, nor informed, about world trade agreements, import and export tariffs and futures trading. But these influenced the price farmers received for their hard work and high input costs. This state of affairs is now changing. It had to change) TODAY'S FARMER IS CHANGING Today, farmers are more aware, more articulate. The a new breed of farmers have to be tough, knowledgeable business- men to survive. Today, food has become a political tool and the "politics of food" and "food power" are the catch phrases of the times while powerful consumer lobbies demand a continuation of a "cheap food policy." In its final report, the Food Prices Review Board asked for a new national food policy and blamed supply management programs for higher food costs. Recently, a similar proposal was discussed by ten Federal deputy ministers. When this report was "leaked" to the press, the Consumers' Association of ' Canada began demanding that it be involved in formulating the new national food policy. CFA DEFENDS BOARDS The Canadian Federation of Agriculture strongly rejected the implication that something under- handed is going on. Marketing boards all come under the supervision of regulatory govern- ment boards which have con- sumer representation. CFA also rejected the implica- tion that without marketing boards, food prices would magic- ally decrease -- almost over -night. this simply would not be the case. Prices are set on a cost of production basis, which is the minimum farmers must have to survive. FARMERS MUST HELP But farm organizations cannot do the job alone. Farmers and farm families also have a public relations job to do. Farmers must be aware of what is happening beyond their farm gate and they must support their farm organizations -- their only spokesmen to government and society.

I mean, really bombed????' What a question to ask a performer! Is there an entertainer anywhere that has not, at sometime in his life, played to a half -full house or got a lousy review? But, the answer to the question surprisingly, was an emphatic 'No.." then a modest "I've been lucky", - It hasn't been just luck, For in his lifetime Duke Ellington has captivated more audiences and played to more full houses than almost any entertainer of his time, Even.when he wasn't on the stage, his music played to full houses and exuberant receptions. And even as he is no longer alive, his music lives and so does Duke, If you have ever felt a wave of the blues come over you, there is no music to tell your story as well as Duke Ellington's. "You ain't been blue 'til you've had the Mood Indigo", he wrote in one of the greatest blues numbers of all times and you could feel the notes down to the toes of your shoes. Many of the musicians from the deep south who wrote about the blues, made them come alive. because they had lived them, While Ellington's family was still on the black 'servant' side of the coin, they were not destitute, At the time of Duke's birth, his father was a butler in the White House. Not exactly Starvation Street! Deep within the man's soul, though, were some restless notes and words waiting to get out, stories that told if not of his own heartaches, of the hardships of his people. "1 Cover The Waterfront" and "I Got it Bad and That Ain't Good" were only a Weekly newspapers key to community BY KENNETH McDONALD If there were one impression an observer took away from the annual convention of the Canad- ian Community Newspapers Association, held last month in Halifax, it was a general concern over the growth and influence of federal and provincial govern- ments and their attendant bureaucracies. ***** At the municipal level, there is personal contact and a working resemblance to democracy. But three levels? "Take Consumer and Corporate Affairs," said one 'editor, "There's much that is Burns .U.C.W. meets The August meeting of the Burns U.C.W. was held at the home of Mrs; Frank Konarski on Wednesday afternoon, August 25 with 16 present. Mrs. Rice opened the meeting with a reading "Perhaps Today". Hymn 36 was sung, and Irene Konarski read the Scripture. Mrs. Rice led in prayer. Jean Scott gave a reading. The three, Konarski sisters favoured with several musical numbers. Hymn 148 and a reading followed. The Lord's prayer was repeated in unison. Mrs. Rice was in charge of the business and gave a reading. Roll call was answered by a Bible verse; and minutes of the last meeting were read. The Treasurer's report was given by Jean Leiper. Ria Smith thanked everyone for the get well card sent to George. A $100 donation was made to the Blyth Arena building fund. The meeting closed with prayer. Lunch was served. good in the Combines Investiga• • tion Act, but it puts a lot of power in the hands of officials. • ***** "The federal legislation is comprehensive and probably 80 percent of it is useful. But then provinces had to climb on the consumerism bandwagon and draft legislation of their own. The objectives are the same but the fine print is different and advertisers tell me that keeping up with the differences is almost impossible. Once again, too many cooks are spoiling the broth." ***** "Take press releases," said another. "They're handed out undigested by media relations bureaucrats. Most of them are useless, the guiding principle is volume, to justify the jobs of the senders. Not long ago one from the Post Office informed us, in three colours, that there had been no change in postal regulations that month." ***** A publisher described how local officials of a federal department, working with provin- cial bureaucrats, contrive to impoverish communities which don't fit into the development plan. Community A is striving for self-sufficiency, but is outside the development area. Community B is in the area and is already being subsidized. B's subsidies will continue, or be increased; any application from A will be post-poned indefinitely. ***** The range of topics covered by editors and publishers visiting the Canadian Federation of Independent Business' booth during the convention, left no doubt of the vital role played by independent community •HANDCRAFTS •GIFTS •GOURMET COOKWARE HOURS: Monday to Saturday 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Sunday 1-6p.m. Closed Wednesday 1 WELCOME THRESHERMAN REUNIO VISITORS' Best wishes for a successful year!

A new publisher, forsaking retire- ment is putting new life into the paper. Around that core, enthus- iasm is building throughout- the community. "We're getting young people who want to work. Not many, but enough. We're fighting the free lunch philosophy, and we intend to win. few of the memorable thought- provoking songs that came from the man's pen and heart. There were the jazz tunes too - the theme song, "Take the A Train" and the man's simple philosophy about music: "It Don't Mean a Thing if It Ain't Got That Swing". It may not have been a lesson in grammar but it sure was in good jazz! Ellington took his music seriously. In fact, when he wrote his autobiograhy he entitled it "Music Is My Mistress" - many kinds of woman to a man but always, just the woman he had always been looking for. Duke Ellington must have performed for just about every famous person in the world during his career. His records are collectors' items, On his 70th birthday at a ceremony in the White House, President Nixon presented him with the country's highest civilian honour, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He composed dance numbers, film scores, stage, ballet and opera, sacred music and orches- tral suites. And yet he remained a gentle humble man, He died in 1974 at the age of 75. 1 listened to two hours of Ellington last Sunday on "The Entertainers" on CBC Radio. He was a simple man with simple music that appealed to everyone. It was easy to imagine him sitting at the piano talking about his 'mistress'. The show was prepared by Lilly Barnes and Greg Gallaher who on September 26 will present a similar profile on Louis Armstrong. — She summed it up rather nicely when she said, "I met Duke Ellington when he was 74 and I refuse to use the term 'old'." And that about sums up his music. The beautiful mistress will never become old or be tossed aside for she is ever youthful, ever lovely, ever comforting and ever a part of the Duke.

'Huron gets mental health centre: for children and youth BY RON SHAW The new Huron Centre for Children and Youth became a reality on Wednesday, September 1 when the first'board of directors were elected at a public meeting held in the Clinton Public School. The Ministry of Health for the Province of Ontario gave approval for the creation of a children's mental health centre recently to provide specialized services for children and youth in Huron County. The Huron Centre will be incorporated under the Children's Mental Health Centre's Act and serve as a psychiatric facility under the Mental Health Act. Formation of such a service became necessary following the closing of the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital and its child care and adolescent unit. A steering committee, composed of staff and adminis- trators of existing health and social service organizations along with interested professional and lay people, have been meeting over the past four months to examine the need for such specialized services ,for children and youth and a nominating committee of that group handed down a list of prospective board members to the September 1 meeting. The board of directors will consist of 11 persons. Nomination Committee chairman Norm Pickell of Goderich told the meeting that the committee had attempted to put forward the names of persons who would represent the other agencies concerned with the new program and persons who would represent the whole of Huron County in a geographic sense. One of the directors will be a representative of Huron County Council and will be named when the council meets later this month. Cars cigarettes dangerous inventions Cars and cigarettes are society's two worst inventions, says a survey of school -children. In a recent poll of children in grades three through six, seventy percent said cigarettes should not have been invented. Almost as many, 60 percent, condemned the creation of cars. Both inventions take the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans and Canadians each year. And disable many more. both inventions also pollute the air for %lmost everybody. There were other culprits on the' children's blacklist. thirty percent opposed airplanes for high fuel consumption and pollution. Twenty percent put down alcohol and drugs. Ten percent downgraded dish- washers. And ten percent even mixed television. 1. The negatives make a positive pattern. The ideal society, the youngsters seem to be saying, is a smoke-free, pollution -less place where people value their own health and don't inflict damage on others. The Lung ASsociations are vitally interested in creating and reinforcing such attitudes.( Special films and materials about smoking and air pollution have been designed for young children, even those in kinder- garten. "Octopuff in Kumquat", and animated film about an imaginary monster who intro- duces smoking into one village and is subdued by the village children, is one of the most popular materials. Elected to the new board were, Mrs. Carol R. Egner, principal of the Goderich Municipal Day Nursery; Bruce Heath, director of the Huron County Children's Aid Society, Mrs. Ilia Kayos, Student Services Co-ordinator for the Huron Board of Education and Dr. Bruce Thomson, a doctor specializing in family medicine at Goderich and representing the Huron Medical Association. These four, the Nominating Committee explained, were put forward as agency representatives. Others elected to the board were Mrs. Helen Bartliff of Clinton, Rev. Jack Beaton of Centralia, Mrs. Donna Cornwall of Wingham, Howard James of Egmondville, Mrs. Joanne Jasper of Goderich and William Gregg of Goderich Township. Also nominated but losing in the election was Mrs. Mona Mulhern of Goderich. During an open question period a panel, made up of members from the steering committee, clarified a number of points about the new cenjre. The new program is meant to be a community-based service and has not been designed, or sufficiently funded, to provide in-patient services. In such cases patients would be referred to hospital or for long term treatment to the london Psychia- tric Hospital. Rather' than taking,thc child to the Children's Psychiatric Research Institute at London for example, the committee explained that the new program would work right in the home with the parents and child as well as in the schools. The cominittee admitted that the group would be forced to duplicate some of the services offered by the Children's Psychiatric Research Institute (C.P,11.1.) as at present it is often necessary to wait for seven weeks for the initial appointment for assessment. It was also suggested that C.P.R.I. is situated too far away for regular follow-up treatment. Huron Public Health Nurse Joanne Jasper also pointed out that the biggest gap in such • services to children is between the ages of two and five. Between the time the doctor stops seeing the child on a regular basis and the time he or she is screened by the Public Health authorities as a pre-schooler. She said that an effort must be made to make parents aware that the new program exists and is available if they are having problems. Mrs. Jasper also suggested the formation of groups where the mothers and children would come together and discuss common problems. Ways must be found to stimulate children and contribute to normal growth and development. Such programs were also seen as a means through which early indentification of learning disabil- ities could be made. The new services will reach out, as much as possible, to the people. A central base is envisioned, perhaps in Clinton, but unit workers would go out to. satelite operations in 'each of the major County communities so that no one would have to travel very far to reach the services. Some such children will be refered to the new centre by the schools and staff from the unit will likely visit- the schools and work especially with special education teachers. The Province of Ontario has earmarked $185,000 for the first year of operation in Huron. After that the group. will provide its estimates for each upcoming year and a budget will be struck. At present no psychiatric services are available to groups like the Children's Aid Society, Correctional Services, and the Board of Education but the new Ht'"^n Centre for Children and Yc mouth pe to begin providing service in the very. near future. • ILYTH BOARD ot TRIDE sale eI veS fit 10 visilors to mb Thresfler Rounlon To help make this weekend extra special we've arranged several added activities for visitors .

Furious because of the way she looks and feels. I don't burn. After a dreadful experience as a kid, when I had to sit for two days and nights in a chair, plastered from head to toe with some concoction of my mother's for sunburn (was it baking powder or baling soda?), I keep my lily limbs covered. Oh, I get what we call a farmer's tan, forearms, face and neck, but the rest of me is white as the driven snow. I don't turn around to look behind me at that house. Aside from my suffering wife inside, there is the outside. That beautiful green vine, so much admired by visitors;. is climbing , the brick wall like a giant squid, pulling the bricks loose one by one, and occasionally hurling one down, just above the back door.. At today's rates for repairs, that brickwork will likely cost me more than it cost to build the house, 70 -odd years ago. Let's change the subject. In fact, I think I'll break off for a moment, it's" so painful: There's the garbage can to bring in. Maybe I'll get my seven iron out of the car trunk and cut some weeds. That's what I use instead of a hoe. There, that's better. My swing was right on today. Kept my head down, my eye on the weed, took a slow back swing, and one whole flower bed is weedless. Also pushed the lawn mower under the spruce tree, to keep the rain off, and picked up the grandkids inflatable swim pool,: which, after a week sitting there full of rain, grass and bugs, left a big round dead patch in the lawn. Good work, Bill. More distractions. A cheeky black squirrel, looking for a handout. Dumb cat rubbing against. my leg, looking tor the same. Three ugly grackles, striding splay -footed and insolent, across my lawn, pecking up the fresh grass seed. Ahahl What's that noise, down the lane. Better stroll down and see. Great. A Bell telephone truck and two young fellows digging a post hole. Entire • neighbourhood watches. Machinery digs hole, erects pole with ease. Old timers comment scornfully. Remember when you dug them by hand, with a spoon shovel. Brutal hard work. work, There's the fire engine! Better jump in the car and follow. Holy old jumpin' ! Why do they let all these crasies folow the fire truck through town at 50 miles an hour? Somebody might be killed. Wasn't much. Just some dumb housewife let the fat boil over on the stove while she was watching her soap opera. But it might have been a good one. Like the old lumber mill last week. That was a dandy. Should get back to the column. Oh, no. There's the old battleaxe at the back door, wailing, "What are you doing out there, just sitting around enjoying yourself, !when you know I'm in igeny?' ;Least you could do is put a washing through and sweep the kitchen floor; it's filthy. And you haven't brought me any fresh tea for two hours. Oh, lordv. Who's this pulling up? It can't be, It is, It's those people we met at a part two years ago and insisted with great fervor and sincerity that if they were ever in our neck of the woods, to look us up. Look at that. Three kids and a dog. Oh, dear. Perhaps you can understand now why I hate being a schoolteacher and having the summer off and having to write my column out under the trees, instead of writing it at my desk in mid -winter. Hur�nvi.ew residents see play at Grand Bend Mrs. Elsie Henderson and Norman Speir provided the old tymemusic for Monday's activi- ties. Mrs. Myrtle Parker accompanied at the piano for the sing -along. Mrs. Lyle Storey arranged and introduced 'the Family Night program which consisted of step dancing by her granddaughter, Charlene Glanville; two numbers by the Centennial Stepers, Joanne Johnston, Jane and, Lawrie Bell, Heather and Melissa Moffatt and Dawn and Debbie Flynn; a steping duet by the Finlayson sisters; vocal solos by Marie and Debbie Flynn; instrumentals by Nelson Howe, Harold Black and Marie Flynn. Mrs. Evaline Appleby thanked the entertainers on behalf of the residents. Fifty-two' residents attended the matinee of Anne of Green Gables at the Huron County • Playhouse on Wednesday after- ! noon. Transportation was pro- vided by the van and twelve volunteer drivers which was greatly appreciated by the residents. • • • • • • BY BILL SMILEY Boy, 1 can't think of anything more harrowing than trying to write a column sitting at the picnic table in the backyard on a mid -summer day. I envy those writers who have a nice, quiet study, preferably without windows, in which to do their work. No distractions, no disruptions. Just the writer and his machine, the words pouring: onto the clean white paper like sparkling wine onto a white linen tablecloth. It's almost imposible for me to concentrate on turning out a piece of 'taut, fascinating, creative prose for more than a minute or two, sitting here today. Too many interruptions. Not only do I not have no windows, if you'll pardon the triple negative, it's just one big window, and I can't stop looking through ,it. If it was possible to turn my head in a 360 degree circle, lewould see' an entire world, mostly green, in miniature. ' There's my neighbour, Helen, at the clothesline. Uh-huh. Looks like her granddaughter was here for the weekend. Ten diapers on the line, among the towels and sheets. Doesn't . believe in disposables. I do. There's a sawing sound across the fence. Wonder wiry -at my neighbour, Jim, is working at this fine, sunny day. Better saunter over and check it out. We'll have a chat about the iniquities of the town council Here comes Patsy Woods, a third side neighbour, with her little brother. Bad news. One of my huge oak limbs, about two feet in diameter, the one that hangs right over their house, has a split right up the trunk. Have to go and look. Yeah, that's bad, Patsy. I'll have to call George, the tree man, and have it taken down. Pity, but it will provide some excitement for the neighbour- hood. Right behind' me is the big, square, brick house in which lurks my old lady, suffering from the mummy of all sunburns.

Remember your primary, school years, Ponytails, public speaking, your peers, Off to summer camp did you go, It all seems so long ago. On to high school in Seaforth you went Many long hours in Mathematics you spent, And just when you thought you were in the hole. You were an Ontario Scholar, what a goal! Remember Germany! You had a good time, lots of good food, plenty of wine, Do you mind that one fellow ? what a pest, And you left good old Phil at home for a rest. Now who knows exactly when Dianne and Phil met, Their acquaintance turned out to be a sure thing - you bet! As you will see on September the third Their vows will be spoken and very well heard. On to Kitchener, they'll go, Where she will manage to cook, work and sew Her many duties will keep her busy as 4 bee, But she is quite capable as you will agree. This evening your neighbors and friends so dear, Have brought you gifts, good wishes sincere. Many God richly bless your married life, As you travel together as man and wife. May all the joys and happiness that life can bring your way, good health, and good friends, good fortune, .throughout each future day, be yours. -- Best Wishes and Congratulations •• Your friends, neighbours and relatives, Gifts were brought in byl Heather McDonald, Cheryl Fraser and Ross Loomans, Janice Houston and Brenda Mathers put the bows from the parcels on an apron and put it on the bride -elect.

I watched you suffer, I watched you die, But all I could do was just stand by, When your time came I suffered too, For you never deserved what you went through, God took your hand we had to part, He eased your pain and broke my heart , You fell asleep without goodbye, But memories of you will never die,. Your resting place I visit, And place your flowers with care, But no one knows the heartache When I walk away and leave you there. If teardrops could build a stairway, And memories were a lane, 1 would walk all the way to Heaven, And bring you home again. --Sadly missed and dearly loved by his Mother, Helen 1.
