Members and former members of the Board battled in the two local school districts. In the Blyth, East Wawanosh and Morris district, it was . former board chairman Walter Shortreed against John Elliott of Blyth, a member of the board for. the past two years. Elliott built up a huge 401 to 86 lead in Blyth, increased the margin in East Wawanosh and, held on for an easy 834 to 547 win over Shortreed, who' collected the majority of Morris township votes. In the Hullett, McKillop, Seaforth district, John Henderson who was defeated by Mr. Elliott two years ago before school voting districts were reorganized, beat out Molly Kunder of Scaforth. He was helped on his way by a good majority of 357 to 158 in Hullett township. HuFon teachers get 8 per cent pay hike In a joint release last week the Huron County Board of Education and its teachers, who are members of either the Ontario Public School Men Teachers' Federation or the Federation of Women Teachers' Associations of Ontario, announced final ratification by both parties of a new collective agreement for the 1976-77 school year.

PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 8, 1976. Planned parenthood group opens Goderich "office Two ingredients make a baby: One egg cell from a woman's body, one sperm cell from a man's. One thing gets them together: The act of sexual intercourse. Two things - and only two - keep them apart; Not having intercourse at all, or birth control that works, That statement, of clear concise fact, is included in the introduc- tion to one of hundreds of information pamphlets available through the recently opened offices of the Goderich Planned Parenthood group. That partic- ular booklet is entitled, "Birth Control, all the methods that work...and the ones that don't." The Planned Parenthood publication goes on to note, "Not having intercourse is still the only guaranteed way to prevent pregnancy. But except for that, these are the surest methods of protection known today; as close to 100 percent effective as you can get." Then, like the majority of the information items, proceeds to outline a wide range of birth control methods available to male and female alike. Planned Parenthood is an international organization accord- ing to local organizer Dave Weary. He explains that in the United States it receives consid- erable funding assistance from the American Government while here in Canada it receives some support from the Federal Government and, in the case of Goderich, splits the cost of office rent with the Huron County Health Unit, This recently opened office is situated at 67 North Street and, for the moment, is open Mondays between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 and 9:30 p.m. Office hours will be extended when Planned Parenthood volunteers complete training. ' Telephone enquiries can be directed at any time through 524-9145. All calls, Mr. Weary stressed, are strictly confidential. At present the new group is actively seeking more volunteers to help operate its new office, These volunteers will receive training through the co-operation of the Toronto Planned Parent- hood Organization. Membership support is also sought. The membership fee is •$2.00 with funds going toward support of the. North Street drop-in centre, Planned Parenthood invites anyone interested in the work of the group, or anyone seeking information to stop by the center any Monday for a cup of coffee and any information or assistance the group might provide. Perhaps the introduction to another of the pieces of literature available sums up the philosophy of Planned Parenthood. "This booklet is for you, for the family you will someday form, and for the children you will welcome into your family...with love."

There were 7 exhibitors from Ontario, 3 from Manitoba and one from Indiana, U.S. Ably handling the duties as judge with reasons on each class was Harold Clapp, Dairy Cattle Specialist, Brighton, Ontario. Dun Rovin Acres Ltd., Calvin McConnell, Kincardine, Ontario picked up both Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor banners provided by the Association. Dun Rovin Acres also had Senior and Grand Champion Female on their winning 5 year old cow, Alfalfa Acres Beautician Sonya and received the Dr. Ken Penhale Banner for top cow and also a trophy donated by Netherholm Brown Swiss, G.J. Rood and Sons, Burgessville, Ontario for the best uddered female. In her first three lactations Sonya produced 61,783 lbs, milk, 2686 lbs. fat, testin 4.35 percent. In addition, Dun Rovin Acres topped the calf class, the largest class (10) in the show, with a September daughter of "Sonya" by E.S. Lila Jet. It was her balance and dairy character and sharpness that placed her over Delaquis' "Glotine" August calf, Dun Rovin had 2nd in each of the 2 -year-old, 4 -year-old, Group of 3 animals and get -of -sire classes. Runner-up for both Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor awards was Pierre and Therese Delaquis, Notre dame de Lourdes, Manitoba. Showing 6 head, the Delaquis won four firsts, a second, fourth and ninth. Their winning bull calf Edelweiss Gucly, by Rosclawn Topsy's Topper, in the only bull class at the show, had more balance, was smoother over the shoulder and had a more desirable rump than the second placed Harp bull, Bloomville Destiny. Pierre received a Banner donated by Chris Bender & Sons, Edenridge Farms, Durham, Ontario for Grand Champion Male. The other Delaquis' firsts were in the three and four-year old classes and Group of 3 animals, For the latter group, bred and owned by exhibitor, Pierre was awarded a trophy donated by Dunrovin Acres. Eldon Cook, Belgrave, captured Junior Champion Female on Loreldo Amazing Grace, by Talisman. Winning in the yearling class over the Donald Graft, Indiana, heifer, Thom -A - Hawk Helena, by Stone Stretch Perfection, the Judge favoured the depth, openness of rib and more dairyness in Cook's "Amazing Grace" although it was a close placing.

PG. 3, Health nurses still without contract According to Lee Boyd, district .:mployee relations officer for the Ontario Nurses Associa- tion, there is no progress in sight in stalled negotiations between the Huron Health Unit and its nursing employees or between Health Units in Middlesex - London, St. Thomas -Elgin and Lambton and their nursing employees. The Health Units and their nurses have yet to come to an agreement in a dispute which has been going on for more than a year. According to Ms. Boyd the main difficulty in the negotiations is a refusal on the part of the Health Boards' in question to allow the nurses compulsory arbitration in all contract disputes. Nurses at the five area units join about 1,100 fellow ONA members in a one week, province wide, strike in June to back their demand for compulsory arbitra- • tion. Across Ontario there are 29 areas where contracts have not been settled, The nurses are continuing to work under the terms of previous contracts, most of which expired at the end of 1975, The nurses are also demanding wage parity with ONA members working in public hospitals. Public Health Nurses earn start- ing rates of between $9,000 and $12,000 annually under that contract while ONA nurses in hospitals begin in the range of $13,380 to $14,820, IWA'S SUPERIOR MARKET . .523-4421 12 OZ.

I Gold stars for Blyth voters The citizens of Blyth deserve a gold star for the way in which they take serious their duties at election time. While province -wide results show that often only about one third of the people eligible to vote do so, in Blyth the turn out was once again over the 70 per cent mark. And this isn't the first time either. The last election saw a 72 per cent turnout (compared to 73 per cent this time) and the election previous to that saw an 89 per cent mark. In a country where even national elections with the glare of publicity often attract only about half the eligible voters, the record in Blyth is amazing. There are perhaps two reasons for the voter.turnout election after election. One is that people in Blyth really believe in democracy, really believe in staying involved and informed. Equally important is the fact that this is government at a level that people can relate too. In many areas voters are left with a choice of candidates neither of whom they know from a hole in the ground. In a village like Blyth, people know the candidates personally. Expensive advertising campaigns aren't needed here as they are in large areas where even the name of the candidate is unfamiliar, left alone the face. It was proved this election by the emergence of newcomer Don Noble to top the polls without any tremendous campaign. It is this very interest, this involvement, that makes it important that we never give in to attempt to make government bigger, Regional government, the provincial government keeps telling us. is dead. We must stay sure it stays dead. What we have in towns and villages like ours is too precious to lose. Lotteries morally wrong What would you do with a million bucks? Or even $100,000? Dream a little, break out of the humdrum, the treadmill of paying bills, If you win a million, give half -or most -to charity? Probably all of us have indulged in the seductive day- dreaming that goes with an Olympic lottery ticket or a Wintario. And, the government information flack tell us, it enriches our coffers by some half billion dollars -a -year for such good things as sport and culture. Something for nothing. The age-old stuff of which dreams are made. But also the age-old stuff of which greed and avarice are made. And yet to knock these government -run lotteries—which is what we're about to do --is a little bit like knocking fun and human nature. What's wrong with dreaming? What's wrong is that lotteries are immoral, wasteful and degrading to the society sponsoring them. Having said that, we stand back while we are called stuffy, square and killjoy. Lotteries are immoral in that they legally tell people that their hopes for material wealth are based on chance. They exploit the dreams of the poor to pay for the pleasurers of the rich. Lotteries are wasteful in that more than half the proceeds are used for promotion and administration. To give an example, the Presbyterian Record notes that Wintario provides only 42 percent of its proceeds for grants to sports, recreation and cultural associations after spending 58 percent in prizes, promotion and administration. A straight canvass or taxation would go further and not be an unfair burden on the poor. Lotteries are degrading because they pander to the greatest social evil our society faces today --its idolatry of material things. Win more money to buy more things and you'll achieve everlasting happiness. But what is most disturbing about this phenomena is the almost tacit approval of the great majority of those who ought to be most opposed. Those who call themselves Christians may very well belong to churches which officially oppose gambling on the very Biblical grounds that gambling fosters greed and greed, along with avarica and covetousness, is a sin. Lotteries are legalized gambling. The churches must oppose them because it is wrong. It's that simple. -Contributed. Blyth Baintoneers win again The Blyth Baintoneers went to Seaforth on Wednesday, Dec. 1, 1976 and played against Chisel- hurst whom they defeated 2.1. Both goals were scored by ' Debbie Coultes.

BY KEITH ROULSTON • Ontario Hydro tells us we went through a crisis last week, but somehow I doubt most of us noticed. Due to a number of factors, including the unusually cold weather and breakdowns in some generating stations and low water levels at other power plants, Ontario Hydro wasd running close to the limit on Friday last week. We were close to suffering brown -outs, or power reductions to the point where lights were dimmer than normal. Hydro actually cut back voltage three per cent on Friday and some large factories were forced to close because through their agree- ments with Hydro, they were cut off in times of power shortage. Yet most people just went about life as normal. It doubt that few people heeded Hydro's plea to cut back the use of power particularly in the peak hours of 4.7 p.m. I don't think I can really take any credit for getting us through the crunch. We've had just too many "crisis" in the past few years for people to really take things seriously anymore. We had the A crisis passes almost unknown pollution crisis and the oil crisis and the faulty car crisis and,;,well you name it and we've had it. I've found myself turning off the television before the 11 o'clock news lately because I just can't take another day of hearing people talk about the economic crisis and the unemployment crisis and the crisis of leadership and the Quebec crisis etc. etc. etc, We've been "crisised to the point of exhaustion and now most of us just tune out when the word crisis comes up. We've become cyncial too. Is it really a crisis or just another excuse to get more money through higher powere rates. Is it really a manufactured crisis to help convince people we really need all those power stations Ontario Hydro wants to build. Hydro hasn't been having much luck in its conservation campaign lately, probably be- cause they spent so many years in brain washing people to use more and more power. One can't feel too much sympathy for them. Actually though this is a time when we should be on their side, We simply cannot continue to go along in the present manner, using ever and ever larger amount of power. 1'f we do, there are soon going to be powere stations in every nook and cranny of the province. We've got to slow consumption and especially during the peak times because all forecasts of future needs are based' on peak consumption periods. If we can even out power throughout the day and throughout the, year, we won't need to build so many power plants. All of us hate higher costs. We hate higher electrical bills and we trt hate higher fuel oil and gas bills for the care. Yet it seems the only way to conservation can be really made to work. Only by charging more can you get people to use less: sort of like hitting them over the head with a club to get them to stop and listen to the need for conservation of energy, I grumble every time 1 get the oil tank filled at the house, but that high fuel bill makes me think of insulation and new storm windows a lot more than 1 would it' fuel oil was still at the same old rate, 1 scream at the cost of gas for the car but it makes me more conscious of not driving unnece- ssary miles and of keeping the car in good shape so it won't burn extra gas. • Yes, just the word crisis used to stir us into action, but not anymore, Today we've got to be hurt in the pocketbook before we worry about things like conser- vation. Agrologists want Ontario farmlands. protected The Ontario Institute of Agrolo- gists has again urged the Ontario Government to introduce legisla- tion which would reserve all class I, 2 and 3 land as well as special crop lands for, food production. In a statement presented to the government recently, the Instit- ute agreed it was important that the Government take steps to maintain a viable agriculture as one means of preserving good farm land for agriculture, but added that it was doubtful if farm income could or would be raised enough to enable farmers to compete with developers for the land. C.F. MacGregor, P. Ag., president of the Institute said: "Legislation should be introduc- ed to designate class 1, 2 and 3 land and special crop land as foodland, Any release of such 'Tis ShowBiz Lucy knew how to make you lands for other uses should only be allowed when it is proven that the demand for land for non-agri- cultural purposes cannot be met elsewhere. Such a policy would re -affirm that the Ontario Minis- try of Agriculture and Food is serious in its attempts to develop guidelines for use in municipal planning." While there is no shortage of good farmland in Ontario at present, Ken McGregor, P. Ag., chairman ot; the Institute's Land Use Committee and a farmer from Strathroy, pointed out: "Planning to mean anything must be planning for future generations, not just for today or tomorrow. Foodland is a finite resource on which the growing world popula- tion will place much greater demands inthe future. Common sense tells us the world needs to preserve foodlands to feed future populations as economically as possible. This is only possible if we plan now by reserving our prime foodland since loss of the best land means small production or highpf costs or both," The Institute also .urged that the foodland planning guidelines being developed by the Food Land Branch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food be submitt- ed to the public scrutiny and debate before they are finalized. Also it said that such guidelines when finalized should be manda- tory, and not left to the discretion of the individual municipality. The Institute is a voluntary orgmization of some 1200 profes- sionals coming from all facets of the agricultural industry, BY VONN1 LEE Looking back on 25 years of television with Lucy, one can only ask where the good entertainment' has gone. Have our tastes changed so much' and have we become so sophistoeated that we can no ' longer laugh at the ridiculous or at the ordinary everyday problems we all experience from day to day? Lucille Ball's tribute was a bestowing of laurels by her co-stars, from Milton Berle to Richard Burton, and of course, there are few who have not worked with her and are not proud to say so. But the two-hour CTV special also showed film clips of Lucy's television shows.' One friend described her as 'the funniest woman of the 20th century' and she might well be. Another said what amazed him most was the fact that Lucy 'would try anything'. Herein perhaps was where lay her greatness. Whether it called for vaudeville pratfalls, dancing in tights, stomping grapes or getting a pie in the face, Lucy was willing to do it, if it made people laugh. if you have ever experienced being on stage and playing to an audience, you will know that the greatest feeling you can have is thet which comes over you when you make people laugh. If you are only performing, you may be good; if you arc making people happy, you are great( Comedy today runs the gamut from profanity to ethnic jokes to bedroom sex funnies, Lucy never resorted to that. She never needed to. Yet she was funny. And she was a Funny Lady, not a funny broad. Carol Burnett could have, at one time, followed in her footsteps but her show has passed the funny stage and is very often a poor excuse for entertainment, Lucy has talent, but she has a lot more than that. She knows good comedy and what is becoming for her as a comedienne to do. And she remembers that • fun ceases to be fun if you offend even one person. A very warm tribute for a very funny star, from the people who knew her best. There will never again be comedy like Lucy's. ***** If Lucille Ball was • the funniest TV lady of the century, then perhaps movie Funny Lady' of -the century would have to be Rosalind Russell. She didn't really begin as a comedienne but she had a way of delivering lines that knocked co-stars off their feet and made an audience laugh and sit up and take notice, She was laugh often cast as the kind of career girl every woman wanted to be • a ready to take on anyone, confident enough to pull ott the biggest deal in the company, and sharp enough to put a tough boss in his place without causing hard feelings. At 63, after a tough fight with cancer and arthritis, she died last week in California. She has been ill for so long, 1 remember her as she walked onto the stage three years ago to accept a spec;al Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, But she wasn't the Ros Russell the world knew. She was a stranger, looking sick, her face swollen from too much medication, She never did win an Oscar for her acting which is a shame. She was nominated four times. for "My Sister Eileen", "Sister Kenny", 'Mourning Becomes Electra" and probably her best known work, "Auntie Mame", the role which . she played on Broadway for more than 500 performances, Ros Russell was one of the few actresses in Hollywood who divided her time between a successful career and a happy marriage. Her producer husband Fred Brisson, whom she married in 1941, survives her. Peter Hannam head O.F.A. At the annual convention of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture in Hamilton last week Peter Hannam, a Guelph area farmer, was elected the new OFA president. He takes over from Gordon Hill, a Huron County farmer, who has been president for the past seven years, Lanark County dairyman Ralph Barrie was elected first vice president and Bill Wolfe, a Bruce County beef producer was elected second vice president. Peter Hannam is a graduate of the University of Guelph and owns and operates a 600 -acre cash crop farm near Guelph in Wellington County. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Hannam said that the Federation must find and concentrate on issues which will unite farmers and form strong effective lobbies. One issue, he said, could be the inequality in the trading restric- tion and tariffs on agricultural products. Hannam said the Federation. should aquaint farmers on the situation and then aquaint the, public. He said that years ago . when tariffs were . first out, Canada went for straight "cents" where other countries went for percentage- values. As a result Canada now has inequities such as Canadian peaches which face an American tarrif of $1.90 per case where Australian peaches enter Canada for 12 cents per case, Processed or pre-cut beef United Church supports marketing boards Marketing boards got unanimous approval from the executive of the United Church General Council November 25 on recommendation from the Council's standing committee on agriculture and food resources. It was the third try for the committee which had first presented its resolution at the March meeting of the church executive. That was referred back for re -drafting and the same thing happened to the revised resolu- tion November 25. It was evident that opinion of the 68 -member executive was divided on the issue, even among farm and rural people (Members of the General Council executive represent all areas of Canada). Finally, it was agreed to approve the following policy statement on marketing boards submitted by committee chair- man Rev, .Douglas A."Brydon of Southampton, Ontario; "The Committee on Agricult- ure and Food Resources reaffirms the basic human right of equality of opportunity and justice in the use of resources for the feeding of people. We believe a viable agriculture industry is essential to the economic and social well- being of Canadians. Agricultural industry is responsible for provid- ing a continuing supply of food for consumers and a fair return to those associated with food production, The Committee sees Marketing Boards as part of the framework of this industry. Marketing Boards have their limitations both in constitution and application. Many persons accentuate these aspects such as: loss of some individual freedom, inability to effectively solve the world's food problem, inability to satisfy . all producers and consumers. And while we know that from a world perspective we must move to a real sharing of this world's resources, never- theless, Marketing Boards, when constituted to regulate production and prices for the, producer, give stability to production and marketing of farm products, thus giving a fair return to the producer, a constant supply to the consumer and provide a vehicle which can help us to respond more consistently to world food needs. The Committee affirms the principles upon which Marketing Boards are established and recommends that the executive inform its constituency (church membership) in order to seek understanding, support and approval of both producers and consumers for the implementa- tion of these principles," ****** Consider light colours when re -decorating ceilings and walls. They'll reflect more light and you'll need fewer or lower yattage lamps. ***** Ontario Hydro's research and engineering groups are involved in a myriad of highly technical subjects relating to the efficient use of electricity and the protection of the environment. ***** THANK YOU I would like to thari'k everyone who voted for me ,in Blyth, East Wawano?a,h and Morris as repre- sentative 4'on the.

John Elliott faces a 10 per cent American tariff (about 30 cents per pound), he said, bt the Canadian tariff on pre-cut beef entering this country is only three cents per pound, The Federation must do every- thing possible to maintain the efficient production of food in Ontario for two reasons, Hannam said: first, to supply consumers with high quality food; and second, to maintain Canadian jobs in the processing and handling of food, Approximately • 40 per cent of working Canadians are involved in some way with food, he said, The new president reminded the convention that Canada, at considerable international embar- assment, refused to allow 23 Taiwanese athletes into Canada to complete in the Olympic games, but allows Taiwan to ship 23 million pounds of tomatoes into this country causing chaos in the tomato industry, from the grower through all of the people employed as pickers, peelers, packers and shippers. He said, "We need to be more agressive as farmers at affecting the general economy of Canada, and to publicize the extent that we are able to do this," He pointed out that maximum wage increases, as laid down by the Anti Inflation Board, have become minimum expentations amongst labor, "If it was not for the dropping food prices," Hannam said, "the inflation rate in Canada would still be as high as it was a year ago."

WALTON NEWS 1hiro.n, t tlitur .MRS Al 1 AN ,N1( ( 'Al 1 K. of C. sponsors contest Highly organized sports programs are a vital part of community life in this great land of ours, or so it seems, Yet many of our children are, through no fault of their own, or for that matter, through no one else's fault, denied the joy of competi- tive sport. There are many reasons for this "physical prowess gap," for example, medical; poor co-ordination; lack of the "win" attitude or plain mediocrity. Whatever the reason some youngsters simply do not get their share of success in sports, The Knights of Columbus basketball free throw lays no claim to solving all these problems. What it does do though is to allow maximum participation with a minimum of skills. District 51 of the Knights of Columbus which encompasses the school areas of Huron and Perth has invited all the students in Elementary Schools in both counties to take part in this competition which is open to all those in the age groups of 11 to 14 years. Each of the three councils in the district will be responsible for the schools in their area, Sratford, Seaforth and Goderich. Father Stephen Eckert Council, Seaforth will hold their council championships at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton on December 11 between 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. All schools participating in this section of the competition are asked to be at the auditorium at 1:30 p.m. for registration. Our sincere thanks to Mr. Jim Coulter and the Huron County Board of Education, to the Clinton and District Christian School and to the Huron/Ferth Separate School board for their courteous- ness and co-operation during the organizing of this competition. Walton U.C.W. holds Christmas meeting The Sunday School room was decorated in the Christmas spirit of tree lights and candles for the December meeting on Wednes- day evening when all units combined for a pot luck supper at seven o'clock. Rev. Baker said grace prior to the supper when decorated tables had been aranged by the McKillop unit. Following the supper, Rev, Baker showed a film ;'For Goodness Sake" on televis- ion, an interview with Jack Burkhart. The devotional period was conducted by the 8th and 16th Unit, Mrs, Gerald Smith read a poem, "What is Christmas?". Hymn 55 'Joy to the World' was sung. Mrs. Martin Baan accompanied at the piano. Mrs. Alvin McDonald read the Scrip- ture from Luke 2: 2.11 followed by prayer. A reading on Christmas was given by Mrs, G. Smith, The offering was received, which Mrs. A. McDonald dedicated, Hymn 59 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' was sung. Mrs, Don McDonald gave the topic, "How far to Bethlehem". Telling the Christmas story, the birth of Christ, the King born in Bethlehem, the birthday we celebrate, There are many needs we push aside to get those things we want, if only we could take time to remember our Saviour, Mrs. Alvin McDonald read a poem, "A Christmas Wish" and this was followed with a carol sing -song with Mrs. Neil McGavin at the piano. Mrs. N. McGavin presided for the business opening with a Vanastra pool has parent -tot swim The Parent -tot Swim program is specifically designed to instruct parents in how best to introduce their child to a water situation. Its advantage lies in the fact that at an early age water is a more natural medium to a child than air. The purpose of such a program is the education of parents in water safety and prevention of a fear in the child which may prove difficult to overcome in later years. Perhaps its most important value lies in the prevention of senseless drownings because of this instruction. With these goals in mind, all adults are asked to accompany only one child into the pool. Floatation devices may be used if considered a necessary aid to instruction if a child in pool water goes beyond their depth. These are later weaned away as both parent and child master water skills. It should be emphasized that the only "drownproof" child is one protected by knowledge rather than reliance on even the best of floatation wear. By participation in this program a parent is taught how best to support, guard and encourge their child in water. The age at which swimming abilities are mastered, will, as with any other skill, vary from child to child, Any parent wishing to bring their child into this program would be well advised to -check with their family doctor to allay any doubts concerning health. This is a sensible precaution whenever anyone is entering a physical program. Vanastra pool, as all public pools, is regulated by the Public Health Act and subject to regular and unforewarned inspection by a public health official. Thus a healthy child encounters no risk from entering pool water. . As more and more parents realize the benefits to be derived from this program, we look forward to an increasing number of children wise in the knowledge of water safety and able to enjoy a life-long sport.

JENE MILLER, Ph.D. Once upon a time there was 'a coach who wanted a good football team, The people who hired him wanted a good football team, He set out to create a good football team. He first told the potential players to do push-ups. Then he told them to run laps around the football field, They did calesthen- tics. They spent a lot of time in the swimming pool He told them to eat right and get lots of sleep. And theydid. '!'hen cme the day of the "big game". The stands were full, The refreshment stands were making money. The fans were excited. The coach was proud. The teams took their places on the field. The other team won the toss and prepared to kick off, The stands were hushed. The kicker heard the whistle and ran to the ball and kicked it clear to the Business Column Taxis an BY KENNETH McDONALD The effect on transportation of fuel cost and scarcity is putting new focus on local communities. In future, people will tend to live nearer to where they work and shop, The fuel factor also puts new focus on ways to cut transporta- tion costs, Canadian communities have some ready-made examples among their counterparts south of the border. According to U.S. News, in some 3,400 communities taxis are the only means of public transportation. Nationwide, they move about 80 percent more people than all the mass transit systems combined, EI Cajon and La Mesa, near other team's five yard line, And there was the good football team, They were doing exactly what the coach hadtaught them to do, Some were doing push-ups, Some were running laps around the field, Some were in their swimming trunks looking for the pool. Some were eating well-bal- anced meals, Some were sleep- ing, If you think that is weird, you ought to take a look at a lot of churches! (And read Hebrews 6:1: "Let us leave the elementary •doctrines of Christ and go on to maturity.") There is only one thing, according to Jesus, that will "get you into Heaven", and that is to love, To love whether you are loving enemies or friends. To love whether you are understood or not, To love whether you arc rewarded with love or not. The struggle of the faithful I Christian is not to 'know proper doctrine -.if we take Jesus's stories about the Last Judgement and about not judging seriously, the question is how to get fear and hurt and anger and confusion converted, When the Church is truly the Church, that is the only function of its disciplines, doctrines, regimens and requirements. Peo- ple who try to get to Heaven by keeping rules merely baptize their fear, hurt, anger and confusion, That's why they killed the prophets, crucified Jesus, launch- ed the Inquisition, drove Catho- lics out, of England and Baptists out of Massachusetts. And that's why Jesus said those who thought they were going to Heaven went to Hell, "Lovest thou Me?" answer to problems San Diego, have contracted with local taxi companies for citywide dial -a -ride service at a flat rate of 50 cents a fare. Subsidizing the system costs less than the former bus service. Ames, Ia., population 43,500, does the same with a fleet of 15 -passenger buses. In -city fare is 75 cents, rising to $1 farther out. If more than one rider boards at a single stop, the fare is split. "Shared rides" is the key to the successful_ use of taxis as mass transit. In some cities, riders sign up fdt,daily service to and from work. In. others, taxis can stop for anyone until all scats arc filled.

MADILL'S DEAR ANN LANDERS: Our 17 -year-old, Nora, is a high school senior. She went steady for seven months with Keith, also a senior. Three weeks ago, Nora decided she wanted to go with others so she broke off with Keith, making it clear she'd date him from time to time, but not exclusively. Keith's mother is determined to "patch things up", She immediately wrote Nora a long letter and sent her a beautiful sweater. She phones daily to report Keith is depressed or not "feeling well' and misses her terribly. All this pressure has made our daughter a wreck. This evening Keith's mother came to our home and asked to see Nora alone, They visited for an hour. When she left, Nora was in tears. it seems Keith has developed a skin rash, The doctor say it's "emotional." The woman told Nora its is her fault and she is morally obligated to go back to him "before he does something awful to himself." Nora is beside herself. I am furious. My husband is fit to be tied. What should be done? On The Spot in N.J. DEAR O.T.S.: A 17 -year-old is no match for this aggressive woman. Invite her over and tell her in Nora's presence that you arc sorry Keith is ill but Nora is not to be used as a drugstore prescrip- tion to cure her son's skin problems. Explain that Keith's rash is not the result of Nora's rejection of him but rather his inability to accept the realities of the situation. Let her know that Keith must learn how to cope with disappointment and frustration because he is bound to be faced with it time and time again in the future. The boy needs therapy, not a mother who runs interfer- ence for him. Assure Nora, privately, that she is not responsible for Keith's problems and she must not allow his mother to make her feel guilty --no matter what. DEAR ANN: Recently a woman wrote to ask whether her sister-in-law was wacky because she wrapped the garbage in newspaper and tied it with a ribbon, sometimes "fussin with the bow for five minutes." You told her _ to relax with the knowledge that her sister-in-law had the most beautiful garbage in town. You could be wrong. If the letter came from Chicago she has stiff competition. My wife wraps her garbage in gift paper left over from the holidays. She also saves boxes and ribbon and especially enjoys 'surprising the trash collector with fancy "packages" from Marshall Field & Co. Any comments.W.C.R. DEAR W.C.R.: No. I just wish, I had some of that woman's spare time. DEAR ANN: My parents were divorced three years ago. It was a bitter parting and the wounds have not healed. Their only grandson will be five years old next month and I am having a birthday party for him. Mother says she won't come if I invite her ex-husband. Dad is crazy about the boy and 1 don't feel it would be fair to exclude him. What should I do? --Split Head DEAR HEAD: Landers' Law: If a person says, "I won't come if you invite So-and-so", That person should be told, "Sorry, we'll miss you," Inform you mother that she can conte After the party, enjoy some birthday cake and ice cream and have the boy all to herself. ***** Breaking up made boyfriend break out Parents, what should you do if your teenager is having sexual relations?

Eleven charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act and seven warnings were issued. Seven charges were laid under the Liquor Licence Act. One charge was laid raider the Criminal Code.

The Ministry of the Environ- ment estimates were considered this week in Committee, and were passed after considerable discussion. Thls was the final estimate to be approved for the fiscal year 1976-77. I led off for the Liberal Party in the discussion, and I pointed out that underpinning the industrial advances in this province was a cheap energy policy which has been the cornerstone of our development for the past thirty years. That period has now passed. I suggested there were three possible ways of alleviating the problem: 1. Reduce the use of resources, and certainly this can be done, because we in North America are the most extravagant and place the most demands on our resources of any people in the world. 2. Reuse products already made. 3. Recycle or reprocess materials Ontario is to continue as a highly competitive industrialized province. I went on to point out that there arc basically two ways garbage can be turned to something useful. One is the method of waste management and recycling. The other is a relatively new process for which the technology is available, whereby garbage can be used to produce methanol. This is not a new concept, because the Germans were running their cars on methanol prior to the second world war, but the outbreak of the war and the fact that oil was so cheap at that time and up until 1972 meant that everyone forgot about the potential of this technology. Cars can burn this product with very little adjust- ment to the carburetor and manifold system. It can also be used as a fuel source for tractors and machinery. 1 recommended to the Minister and waste. that the Government should make This means that the key concerted attempts to develop strategy in this province in the and refine this technology, not next 10 to 15 years has to be only as a method by which we can energy conservation coupled with cope with much of our garbage, waste management and recycling but also as a nt'ethod to produce techniques.

THANK YOU For your co 'deuce Monday's Election. support in BILL All -; BY BILL SMILEY Like so many others, I was completely astonished by the sweeping victory of the Parti Quebecois in La Belle Province, 1 was also just dreadfully, dreadfully upset at the thought of that darn old separatorateest Rainy Levack taking over as Prime Minister of Quebec and exercising his rights to exorcise that fair province right out of the' body politic of this Great Nation, In fact, I was so disturbed by the whole thing that when my assistant department head, Jeanne Sauve, camp up to me in the hall, grinning fiercely, and said, "Vive De Gaullel'; I just gave her an icy look and walked on, I made myself scarce when my old shuffleboard partner, Bill Chenier, was looking for me for our usual noon -hour game in the staff room. No way am 1 going to be buddies with some guy who is probably an underground agent for Rainy Levack. However, 1 got my own back in a sort of sneaky, and you might even say sadistic way. I asked my four-year Grade IIs if they'd heard the news that the govern- ment of Ontario was going to put" everyone with a French-Canadian name in concentration camps, just as our federal government, in its infinite stupidity, did with the west -coast Japanese after Pearl Harbor. Boy, that shook them, They started looking around- at 'each other. Half my classes are made up 'of Robitailles, Cadieuxs, Cadeaus, Moreaus, Bourgeois and so on. 1 said: "It'll certainly be nice to have smaller classes". Their mouths were open. Then one guy in a front seat, with a good Scottish surname, started to grin, and said, in the' impeccable English I instil in my students, "Ya, sir, I heard that there broadcast. But you didden hear it all. They changed their mind. They ain't gowna putten in camps. They're gowna line em all up and shootem." My cold, stern look began to crumble, and pretty soon we were all laughing as they realized they'd been "had" once more by Old Smiley, Then we talked about what the separation of Quebec would mean. The kids, as usual weren't too perturbed. Dynasties can come and go, as far as they are concerned, as long as they don't get a homework assignment out of it. The only thing that upsets them is a case of unrequited love, or the breakdown of the TV set just as the big sex or violence scene gets started. The possibility of Quebec separating from the rest of Canada upsets me just about as much as it does the kids. I love Canada as it is, but I don't think that Confederation and all that jazz is a sacred thing, It was put together by a bunch of politicians for reasons that were not entirely altruistic, and if another bunch of politicians wants to disband the club, so be it, The original plighting of troths was basically a marriage of convenience. After more than a hundred years of marital disharmony, if one of the parties feels the union is incompatible, why not get a divorce? When 1 was the age of my students, the British Empire stretched around the world, In the cant phrase, the sun never set on it. Today that mighty Empire has shrunk to a tiny, beleaguered Britain, financially on the rocks. Does anybody really care, except a few elderly pukka sahibs? People love frightening them- WIlO'S worried about Quebec? selves and each other. Political columnists are having a heyday, speculating on the "balkaniza- tion" of Canada. After Quebec drops out, speculate the worry warts, B.C. and the Maritimes will probably become part of the U.S., the prairie provinces will secede and form a country called Manalsask or something, and Ontario will be left sitting high and dry, the only remaining bastion of the true-blue WASP Canadian. Nobody seems to worry much about Newfy. Maybe it's time this country had a jolly good shaking up. We seemed to have changed in the last, few decades from a vibrant and vital young nation with lots to be proud of, and plenty to look forward to, into a sour, crabby and suspicious middle-aged country, beset by inflation, unemployment and strikes. We run down our leaders. We seek security rather than adventure. We whine about American domination and do nothing about it. We bitch about playing our part in NATO and giving money to poor countries and letting in too many immigrants and anything else that is unselfish. Despite high .unemployment, we have one of the most erratic labor forces in the world. Despite our tremendous natural resources, we let the Americans and the Germans and the Japanese do' the investing in our development, because we haven't the guts to take the risks ourselves. - • - Maybe the threat of spearation by Quebec is just to get the old adrenalin flowing once again. This is a great country, but it won't be great for long if it is inhabited by a nation of chickens. Or sheep. Life is change. Things that don't change die. Let's remember that and not panic when thele are indications of change, however great it may be. Hu IIett.° Happenings "Grade Two Field Trip., On November 30th, The grade 2 class of Hullett Central went an a . field trip to Goderich.

Federation's annual convention in Hamilton last week that he intends to step down from the top OFA post. Mr. Hill made the announce- ment during the President's Address at the convention's Monday afternoon session and at the same time strongly criticized supermarket chains in Ontario' which he said control no less than 67, per cent of the retail food business, Such chains, he told the delegates,tend to simply "swal- low P Y low up" their smaller competi- tors. The retiring president also reminded the convention that the Federal Anti Inflation Board had named six large food firms as having made excess profits. He pointed to Borden, Swift, Canada Packers, Christie Brown, General Foods and KeIlggg s ._.._ _ The farmer,_he said, only gets 20 per cent of the dollar spent by consumers for food. Farmers and consumers are interdependent, he told the gathering, and that the supposed confrontation between those two groups has been created the Department of Consumer Affairs and the press. Farmers were urged to develop a clear identity when certain segments of the population began speaking up on such affairs. "There are two main slots in the field of business," he said, "labor and management. and People want to know which farrners belong to ... we belong to both." According to Mr. Hill farmers produced $10 billion in products in Canda last year and managed assets which were valued at $40 billion. On top of that farmers purchased billions of dollars worth of goods and services to operate their farms. Guest speaker at the Monday session was Federal Conservative leader Joe Clark. Clark told the convention that a gulf had grown between those who make and those who are effected by decisions. Agriculture he said, represented one of the most imported components of the Canadian economy.. Turning to the question of beef imports, he explained that a beef quota law exists "on the books" in the United States which can be side'` put into effect at any time. Although it is not always enforced, he suggested, the very fact that it exists has a regulatory effect on the beef market. He went on to note that he would like to see similar legislation intro- duced in Canada. Mr, Clark also said that under a Conservative government when producers determined that a marketing board for the product would be advantageous such a board would be established. And when such a board was seen as a disadvantage bythe producers in question, no board would be recommended, In general he indicated a willingness to have producer input to legislation. In other business the conven- tion considered a number of resolutions on farm safety. A resolution calling on'manufactur- ers to redesign tractor fenders to improve safety was accepted, It calls for lower front portions to the fenders be connected to the floor plate to protect operator's fee and legs from injury b t g J Y Y the moving parts. Noting that most operators of fast moving vehicles have little respect for slow moving vehicle signs and will pass at any time the delegation from Lanark County urged that the Federation request the Provincial Government to revise their laws on slow moving vehicle signs, to require that all vehicles, before passing, indicate their intention to pass by sounding their horn. The resolution was narrowly lost as the delegates felt it would be unwise to have farmers relying on the sound of a horn which would be difficult to hear above the noise of operating machinery and especially where the operator was wearing safety muff to reduce such sound. A Grey County recommenda- tion that the OFA request the Ontario Government to pass legislation requiring farm ma- chinery manufacturers to install turn signals was referred back to the Safety Committee for a more detailed definition of "farm machinery". In the debate it was noted that with such equipment as plows and discs the rear view of the operator or the vehicle approach- ing from the rear was not seriously impaired. It was also suggested that 12 volt wiring for such signals was fragile as was W.O.A.A. Peewees crush Zurich On December 1, the Blyth Peewees played their first game of the W.O.A.A. schedule in Zurich. The boys got off to a fast start and never looked back. They outplayed the Zurich team to the score of 10 to 1. Goal scorers for Blyth were Kevin Coultes, 1; Bruce Hunking, 3; Darryl Chalmers, 3; Ken Fitzgerald, 1; Rick Scrimgeour, 1; and Kurt Whitfield with one. Assists went to Bruce Hunking, 2; Rick Scrimgeour, 4; Kevin Coultes, 4; Keith Hallam, 1; Ken Fitzgerald, 1; Darryl Chalmers, 1; and Brent Andrews with 1.
