Come home for the Blyth Centennial ' July 30 -August 1, 1977 A convoy of fuel trucks passed through Blyth Wednesday morning enroute to points north to relieve the fuel shortage broughton by a six-day blizzard that completely brought western Ontario to a standstill. Police and snowplows escorted the trucks. Fourteen trucks started out from London and had to make several detours to find unblocked highways. This scene on the third concession of East Wawanosh Is a common one in the area. The road is down to one lane in many places and it took work by farmers with snowblowers to open the road and allow plows to travel. Worst storm in years closes down area for 6 days What some are calling the worst prolonged winter storm of the century virtually crippled southwestern Ontario for six days this past week. The storm hit Wednesday evening, and did not abate for more than a few scattered hours until Tuesday evening. Ironically the date of the begining of the storm was the same as that of the last memorable blizzard: the great blow of 1971. Highwasy 4 south of Blyth was blocked for much of that period and most country roads were closed almost steadily. For most school children it ws a six-day holiday. Friday morning there were classes in Blyth Public School for those who could make it but the hill in the storm was brief and by noon they were sent home again. The day was even briefer for students at East Wawanosh Public School who went to school and were immediately sent home again. With most country roads either blocked or nearly impassible school buses were still not running as of Wednesday. As the storm progressed emergencies began to arise, Blocked roads meant many dairy farmers were unalbe to ship their milk and thier storage facilities were hard pressed to hold all the milk leading to the worry of having to dump milk. Other farmers were in need of feed for their animals but unalbe to get it because of road conditions. In East Wawanosh township farmers were busy opeing the roads themselves with snowblowers. With hard packed snow drifts 8. 10 feet high on the concessions it was often the only way to allow plows through. Wednesday morning saw a convoy of fuel trucks escorted by snow plows and Ontario Provincial Police cars head north from London on Highway 4 to cope with a fuel shortage in some towns. Local fueld shortage in some towns. Local fuel ' suppliers worked under hazardous condi- tions throughout the storm to make deliveries to homes in danger of running out of fuel. Highwasy 4 north of Blyth remained open thoughout most of the storm, one of the few highways in the arca which did. Particularly hard hit was the Clinton area with highways 4 and 8 often blocked in all directions. County road crews were called off the roads at times because of the dangerous conditions. Morris township names at inaugural com m itte.e Morris township council made many appointments at its inaugural meeting on Jan. 24. Salaries were also set for various township officials.

Huron Volunteer Bureau wants to help , BY MARG ANN KOBUZ, DIRECTOR As you are aware the Huron Volunteer Bureau has now been operating for three weeks. During this time many people have called with questions about our function in the community. We now hope to give you some answers, Here are some of the major questions. If I need personal assistance what should 1 do? How can 1 be of service in my community? What type of services does my community need? Is the Bureau interested in the activities of my group or service club? Do 1 have the ability to help in some small way? Perhaps the Huron Volunteer Bureau can help you with•answers to some of these questions. People need people. People who are willing to give a couple of hours of their time a week, Time to take a disabled person swimming, time to be a big brother to some young boy, time to be a special friend to someone who doesn't get out and make new friends because of a handicap or illness. We need people who are willing to give a bit of themselves to make another person happy. It could make your day a bit brighter to know you've helped someone who genuinely needed that help, and appreciated it.

County Board of Education The question of special educa- tion as offered in the Huron County School system came before the Board of Education again January 24, this time in the form or a report from Superinten- dent of Education W.D. Kenwell. The report, making a series of seven recommendations to the Board, was the end result of a survey circulated to school principals in the county during November of last year. The survey set out to ascertain the number of children who were receiving some type of special education for 'a typical month (in this case October -November) and the grade placement of these students, It also tried to establish the type of special education assistance which should be expanded for the 1977-78 school year and what type of special education might be introduced for the new term. Special education assistance in Huron is offered on three levels, Primary, Junior and Intermedi- ate, and in seven categories, remedial, speech, learning dis- ability, testing, visually handicap- ped, hearing handicapped and physically handicapped. Results of the survey showed that a total of 1420 students were receiving assistance in these classes with 933 in the Primary level, 353 in Junior and 134 in Intermediate, The survey also showed five areas in which principals suggest- ed expansions to the current special education program. The first was an increase in in -school time for itinerant learning disability teachers to spend both in the actual instruction of children and in conference with regular class- room teachers. The survey also produced calls for increased time for resident remedial teacher to spend with students requiring assistance, an expansion from half time daily to full time for opportunity classes, additional opportunity classes and increased in -school time for itinerant speech correction teachers. Principal responses also sug- gested a number of new types of special education for introduc- tion. The establishment of senior special education classes, the employment of primary reading specialists, the employment of a teacher for the gifted, counselling for students with emotional problems, and establishment of a class for the emotionally disturb- ed. TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO .jIJ�`.1 SYNDICATE David, with that appealing -smile and those beautiful eyes, is a five-year-old to whom fate has dealt several blows. He has epilepsy, not yet controlled though doctors are working to seek the correct medication. Ile has a chronic ear condition called otitis media and frequently there is a dis- charge from his ears. Sometimes it clears up and then breaks out again. He has juvenile arthritis in one knee which oc- casionally swells with severe pain. In addition he is allergic to dust, feathers and animal fur. One positive feature of this medical catalogue is that weekly injections are helping the allergies. David is considerably behind in his development and psychologists are not sure if their tests indicate his real potential or if his slowness is because of his many health problems. They are inclined to the latter view. David gets on well with other children and loves attention and cuddling by adults. Parents with a strong desire to help a child will find a lovable challenge in David. Older brothers and sisters will be an asset in his adopting family. To inquire about adopting David, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M9P 2112. In your letter tell something of your present family and your way of life. For general adoption information, contact your local Children's Aid Society. LOVES ATTENTION AND CUDDLING again THE BLYTH STANDARD/FEBRUARY 2, 1977. PG. 3. studies special The Huron County Board of Education currently employs the equivalent of 4.6 itenerant stud- ent services teachers who deal with students experiencing learn- ing difficulties. (4.6 represents four teachers on full time and one part-time teacher working about .6 of full time,) One of these teachers spends all his time testing students and recommending remedial techni- ques to be employed. The increasing complexity of tests relating to learning disabilities, Mr. Kenwell's report notes, as well as the detail required in written reports, combine to reduce the number of individual students who can be served by one itinerant teacher... "We currently have received 450 referrals for testing learning disabilities in the past four months," he explained. The report also suggested that time allotment for resident remedial teachers should be distributed by the principal, in accordance with Board staffing guidelines. The special education report also observes that a declining enrolment at Clinton Public School should help alleviate the need for increased Opportunity Class time in that particular school. Expansion of the power Learning class at Brussels, the report goes on, to include three schools rather than two would accommodate the request from Walton for access to Power Learning instruct:an. "This proposal would necessit- ate the rental of one additional portable classroom at Brussels and the employment of an additional half time teacher," Mr. Kenwell noted. A declining enrolment in another school, Brookside, will apparently result in a portable classroom being available for use as an Opportunity classroom. The teacher would be able to transfer her base of operations from the staff room to a more suitable setting. Huron, at present, employs the equivalent of 3.4 speech correc- tion teachers, Recent research by speech therapists, Mr. Kenwell told the Board, recommends that speech correction begin at an earlier age...Kindergarten and pre school levels, The addition of .6 (another part time) speech correction teacher would enable the Board to provide more adequate service for those child- ren requiring early treatment, the report suggested. Mr, Kenwell also pointed out' that there are currently in Huron schools a number of students, aged 12 to 15, whose academic achievement is at the grade one to three level. "These students are unable to cope with the program provided by the Service Occupation Course at secondary schools. They are too old for the Opportunity Classes in our elementary schools, which are becoming overcrowded as younger students are admitted to Opportunity Classes," he explained. "These students are so wide- spread geographically that it is not feasible to provide a classroom and a teacher in each of several schools" the report said. "However, by establishing class- rooms in three towns, it would be possible to provide a program for all children in the county requiring this assistances by utilizing the existing integrated bus services." The report went on to suggest that the employment of Primary Reading Specialists would assist the regular classroom teacher in the early identification and treatment of students with reading problems, as well as providing a degree of county -wide uniformity in teaching and reading. The report also suggested that the appointment of an itinerant teacher for the gifted was a matter which could be referred to the Education Committee for further study. It went on to propose that the question of counselling for children with emotional problems was a matter education which could be referred to the newly established Huron Cent- re for Children and Youth who will be employing a Psychologist early in 1977. The Superintendent of Educa- tion report noted that the establishment of a class for emotionally disturbed children presented one of the "usual problems"....the fact that the children were widespread geo- graphically and the nature of their disability would be agravated by a long bus ride, He added that the Huron Centre for Children and Youth will provide in -school counselling and treatment if' requested. The seven page report conclud- ed with a series of recommend- ations, It recommended the employment of two additional Learning Disabilities teachers, to be attached to the Student Services complement at the Board's central office. The report suggested the rental or transfer of one portable classroom for Brussels Public School to provide adequate instructions space for a full time Power Learning Class. Also the employment of an additional half-time teacher for the Power Learning CIast. The recommendations called for the retention at Brookside Public School of the existing portable classroom to serve as an Opportunity Classroom as soon as declining enrolment permitted. That portable was built on the site and is pre -1970 vintage. Also recommended was the employment of an additional part time speech correction teacher to be attached to Student Services at the Board office, the establish- ment of three Senior Special Education classrooms (at Clinton, Exeter and Wingham) to assist student living -in areas currently served by the existing secondary school transportaition system, and the employment of a Primary Reading Specialist to be attached to Board Office staff and serve as a consultant for the entire county. Mr. Kenwell's report was referred to the education commit- tee for study.

Net to Pierre Trudeau nothing in this country seems to inspire more ire than the Canaian Broadcasting Corporation. Over the years the C.B.C. has taken more than its share of criticism, some deserved, some not deserved. Many Canadians have wished it could become more like the American networks, serving up nice simple entertainment without making them work so hard. Meanwhile the academic and artistic community wished the network would become more highbrow. This year, for the tirst time the network seems to be making a real effort to make programming that is both of good quality and popular. C.B.C.'s For the Record drama series provides programming that is both entertaining and realistic, quite a contrast from the candy -floss, assembly -line weekly series from south of the border. This year C.B.C. has re-entered the variety entertainment field for the first time in many seasons and its series of Super Special shows has provided consistently good entertainment. Certainly there arc times when the fancy•dan artistic sense of the producers intereferes with the communication of good entertainment but then so do more and more American programs of the same kind. We are, however, now seeing Canadain stars in the roles of stars, being able to show their stuff in their own country with the same high programming standards they wwould have gotten in the past only in Hollywood. There can still be many improvements, but one has to congratulate the new people at the C.B.C. who are finally making the network really serve people. Many to be praised It's strange how disasters often bring out the best in man -kind. The week-long blizzard hopefully now over is no exception. There were so many wonderful things done during the storm by so many wonderful people for so many people. Praise must go to such people as fuel truck drivers who risked their own safety in many cases to get through the storm to deliver fuel to homeowners running low. Praise must go to the-fead.truck drivers, to the hard-pressed snowplow drivers who at some time could only stand by and wait... and worry. For these people it was a case of actions above and beyond the call of duty. For others, it was no duty at all. There were so many people willing to help others especially snowmobilers who gave people a ride to where they had to go or who delivered badly needed food or medicine. There were farmers who used their own snowbloweres to open blocked roads. Storms are still horrible things but at (east they have a good side: Putting the true sense of community back in our lives. Letter to the editor THE EDITOR, I would like to comment on the letter by Linda J. Henry in the issue of the Standard of January 26. Mrs, Henry must have been Istening closely to the leaders of the coffee boycott. The argu- ments of these people are, to say the least, very • biassed. Let's examine some facts. First of all, it takes a coffee tree five years to reach maturity, he. to yield the first coffee bean. After that, the yield is one [1] pound of beans per' year. If the tree lives for 15 years, after maturity, the yield per year will be 15 lbs divided by 20 equals 3/4 [three quarter] pounds of coffee beans per year. The average price per pound of processed coffee has been ap- proximately two dollars per pound, or $1.50 per tree per year. i have no idea what the processing and transportation cost is, but to bring it from inland Brazil or Columbia, by rail, ship and truck to North America and then being processed on North American wages and profits, leaves, no doubt, very little to the South American farmer, for the cost of his land, his seedling and the labour of planting, weeding and picking. 1 am surprised that he can pay his peasant laborer at all. He may possibly be rich by Brazilian standards, but here he would undoubtedly count among the poor ones. By refusing to pay coffee for what it's worth, through a boycott, North Ameri- can consumers only make it impossible for those landowners, who are prepared to pay more to the peasants, to do so. If coffee growing was so profitable as the boycott enthusiasts would like us to believe, how come that many don't replant after the disastrous frosts? Now some about our cost. Let's say that fifty cups are made from one pound of coffee. At two dollars a pound this is four cents per cup. If the price should double this would mean now that the cost goes up by four cents per cup. Some restaurants talk about increasing the price per cup by 20 cents or more because of the increased cost of the coffee. Well, Undo, who is ripping off whom? A short lesson In economics. If the price to the South -American plantation owner or farmer or whatever name you want to give him, is not attractive, he won't replant his trees after they die. This causes lower supplies, greater demand for what is, and thus higher prices. A boycott does not result in lower prices, except possibly in the short run, but will result in the long run in higher, prices. • 1 suspect that most of those women who promote this sort of thing, don't care a tinkers dam about the consumer they purport to fight for, but are extremely pleased to see their name in all major newspapers and television broadcasts across the continent. ADRIAN VOS BLYTH. 0 77 4/ One way to get the mail through BY KEITH ROULSTON Progress is a relative term. What one of us thinks is progress another may think is a step backward. Few of us, however, would argue with some of the progres- sive developments of the 20th century: things like running water in every home, electric lighting and power for other household needs which have taken the drudgery out of life, development of modern heating systems which let us take warmth for granted in winter. Yet it often takes very little to make us realize that this progress has two edges. This past week a little thing like a lengthy blizzard made us realize that in many ways we have not progressed but regressed when it comes to battling the natural elements. We have become so accustomed to our modern conveniences, we take them so much for granted that we are far more vulnerable to natural disasters such as lengthy blizzards than were the pioneers, who in most ways had life much tougher than we. Take for instance the little matter of heating. That comes to mind quickly because we spent Progress not so sure much of the weekend wondering if the storm would give out before our fuel supply. Nearly everyone in this part of the country at least, is dependent on a regular and outside fuel supply whether oil, propane gas or electricity. Blocked roads or a knocked out power line can quickly bring the taken -for -granted warmth to a shivering halt. Most of the time we are so glad to be rid of the always -hungry wood stove that until a few years ago supplied most of the heat in this arca. It's so nice to get up to a warm house in the morning, to not be faced with the never-ending task of wood -box filling. Yet, when the highways are blocked and the fuel supply miles away, somehow the old iron monster and gaping woodbox seem Tike a welcome idea. Or how about.food. Once every farm was nearly self-sufficient when it came to food. With a well -stocked pantry of preserves and a root cellar full of fruits and vegetables and a large supply of staples of salt, sugar and flour, a farm family could count on not going hungry during even the longest blizzard, it had too, because in the days when all travel was by horse and sleigh and took lengthy periods of time over roads that were never plowed in winter, the old Boy Scout motto of Be Prepared was a necessity. But today even farm families have come to take for granted the convenience of the neighbour- hood supermarket and the heated car for travel. The result is that farm families arc not so self- sufficient any more. But then neither are our towns and villages. Once most villages were self-contained. Each had its own flour mill, its own bakery, its own dairy and creamery and the produce in the local stores came off local farms, not city plants far away. We don't often get storms that block major highways for lengthy periods of time, but when we do, our towns and villages are in danger of running out of food these days. The progress which has seen small flour mills, small creameries, and small bakeries closed out for the greater efficiency of large central opera- tions can be very hollow progress in times of emergency. Perhaps now and again it's wise to stop and wonder if all our progress is really an improvement. Area utility Commission's told they must conserve energy An Ontario Hydro conservation expert told Huron County public utility managers January 25 in Clinton that unless steps are taken in the next three years to conserve electrical energy Ontar- io will face brown outs and blackouts in the early 1980's. Outlining a Hydro scheme to promote conservation in industry, commerce, agriculture and pri- vate homes, Bill Metcalfe, the regional commercial and indust- rial application supervisor for Hydro, said the utilities had a mammoth job in the next few years to make conservation plans a reality. Mr, Metcalfe said Ontario Hydro's present plans for in- creased generating capacity mat- ched against the province's current growth rate separate in 1980, the growth rate surpassing the supply. He said the only way to avoid brown and blackouts in the next decade is to conserve energy now and to cut the growth rate by one percent. One percent saved now would allow Hydro to provide electrical energy to meet demands over the next 10 years at least, Mr. Metcalfe said. The supervisor said Hydro faces numerous problems in increasing their generating capa- city over the next ten years, the major one being money. He said the provincial government had altered the priority of government spending so that Hydro now expands its capacity as money allows rather: than as demand dictates, Mr, Metcalfe added that the policy automatically put Hydro behind the eight ball due to the lead time they require to build and phase in new generat- ing units, "If we were the Hydro board of directors and decided today to construct a generating station it would be at least 10 years before that station produced any power at all," he said. The conservation movement Hydro plans will be put into effect by utility managers and employ- ees according to Mr. Metcalfe. He said the local people will be responsible for educating indust- ry, commerce and the residential and agricultural community on conservation and will have the full staff and equipment backing of Hydro to do it if they wish. The program basically amounts to a utility employee doing a "walk through" survey of the factory, store or home and pointing out to the staff or owner areas where energy is being wasted and areas where it can be saved. Hydro will train utility people in conservation and will offer them programs to show managers and owners how they will save money by conservation. The need for the full support of the utility is vital to the success of the program, according to Mr. Metcalfe. He said the future was very sobering if one looked at the statistics adding the seriousness of the situation cannot be conveyed to the public simply; 9) Opention �fvh Don't take chances on death or disfigurement. Belt up, and drive safely! because there is no shortage of electricity now. "If we want to give our kids the chance to live as we did we've got to conserve energy," he said. The biggest user of power in the commercial market is shopp• ing centres according to Hydro statistics, Food stores and large chain stores located in shopping malls use vast amounts of power fpr lighting and in the case of food stores for refrigeration units, He said that Hydro had already started to meet with management in the head offices of the larger firms and had put several conservation programs into ef- fect, The next largest offender is business, primarily large office buildings. He said the buildings are lit round the clock and up until now very little has changed in that regard despite Hydro's constant requests to shut the lights off at night. Mr. Metcalfe pointed out that Ontario minister of energy Dennis Timbre!! had warned a group of businessmen recently that he was "sick and tired" of asking them to shut off lights and if they weren't going to do it he was. Educational facilities are third in power use and Hydro has already instructed boards of education in the province to take every step possible to conserve energy. The boards are also instructed to detail energy uses and report them to the province to allow the ministry to determine what can be done to cut down energy use. Small retail outlets, automotive centres, hotels, motels, restaur- ants and recreational facilities come next on the list and Mr. Metcalfe said they were the concerns of the local utilites. He said that in the next year Hydro planned to have every one of the businesses surveyed and this would be carried out by the local utilities. Along with the small retail outlets, small industry 'will be surveyed by the utilities in the next two years. Mr. Metcalfe said most large industries had already developed energy conservation programs that are working but the province's 12,000 plus small • factories and plants would be the responsibility of the utilities. Stan Stewart, a conservation officer specializing in agricultural and residential fields, outlined the conservation program for the private sector. Mr. Stewart told the utility officials that Hydro had made upgrading of building standards and standards for home appliances and efficiency and economy of electrical space and water heaters a priority for the next two years, He said Hydro had dropped the practice of inspecting new homes for insulation but planned in the, very near future to go back to trying to ensure that the units are properly insulated, He said Hydro had hoped that local building inspectors could handle the inspections but the inspectors were either too busy or were not qualified to do the job or in many cases were non-existant, He pointed out however that the biggest hurdle Hydro faced. was convincing the public to alter their lifestyle to conserve energy. He said the current peak period of power consumption is from four o'clock in the afternoon until seven in the evening but that could be altered if changes were made in some people's lifestyle, "If we could convince people to operate their dishwasher once a day instead of three times, if we could get people to do their laundry once a week instead of three times, or if we could even get people to shut off their televisions when they're not watching them we could save enormous amounts of power," he claimed. He said there are many flagrant cases of electrical, waste in the average home. Instant -on televi- sions waste energy, keeping refrigerators at just above freez- ing when 40 degrees will do, keeping hot water temperatures in water heaters unnecessarily high and leaving televisions on for hours when no one is watching, are obvious wastes that happen regularly in nearly every home. "Hydro has never told people they can't do things but has suggested that if they don't need electrical applicances on or lights on get them off," said Mr. Stewart. "We need to get conservation off the ground now to ensure that we cut down our one percent in the next three years."

PG. 7, From the minister's study H u ro n W.M.S. Presbyterial meets in Seaforth On preaching BY TED HOOGSTEEN BLYTH CHRISTIAN REFORMED CHURCH Mothers have an odd habit preaching to their kids, really laying down the law. Fathers join in occasionally when things have gone too far, telling so-and-so where it's at. And the conscious or unconscious response never varies: "Don't you dare preach at mei" The conditioned response to preaching is ire, frustration, even anger, An that is too bad. In the short space available here I am saying a few things about preaching and sermons which are crucial to you. No sermon is a simple explanation of Jesus' life on earth, nor is a sermon a statement that you can have forgiveness of sins. If that is all you hear, you lave not heard a sermon. A sermon is God's judgment upon sins and sinners. 1 know that judgment carries a negative note; it means condemnation, some one telling you, "You can not do that," Judging means often limiting one's freedom. In the Bible God's judgment carries first of all a • positive value: declared free of guilt and sin in Christ Jesus. Presupposed is the court room scene. he judge 'in court not only condemns guilty guilty of the crimes for which they have been taken to court. In this latter sense God's judgment should be taken. It is the positive and joyful judgment that Christ bore upon the cross the burden of guilt and sin for you. In every sermon God sits on his trhrone• judging sinners, saying to thos listening, "Your sins are forgiven in Jesus' name, that sermon or preaching is God's way of judging people today. It is so easy to believe that God elected or predestined sinners; but you'll never know it was meant for you, until you hear in the sermon thatforgiveness is for you. Forgiveness in Jesus is not something drifting in the air, wandering that God elected or predestined sinners; it is so easy to believe that Christ died on the cross for sinners, but you'll never know it was meant for you, until you hear in the sermon that forgiveness is for you. Forgiveness in .Jesus is not something drifting in the air, wandering about aimlessly. God is busy judging his people today and making ral his salvation. And everyone who hears and believes comes again and / ain to hear that Word of forgiveness, for that is the preaching which opens wide the ehavesn; forgiveness means to be able to see the glory of God in Christ Jesus. Many people would like it different. They would like to hear about the wasy to salvation, beciu.sk it requires no commitment, but to be pointed in the the right direction is no proof of arriving at the right place. To avoid such insecurity, Christ, through his Church, never preaches the way to salvation. Christ's Church preaches the fact of salvation: "your sins are forgiven, in Christ's name." If you dont believe this you return and spurn God's love. In Christ he gave everthing,And he demands everthing, also thay you believe when you hear from the pulpit that your sins are forgiven. If you do not belive this forgiveness when you hear it, or if you do not go to hear it, in person, you reject the love God pours abundantly into the world. God's justice in this world is his ungratefully received love. God's love, rejected as it can be, always contains a demand for what is right, and his love continues to ask for justice to the very gates of hell, Jesus is the lying proof of God's love; hell is also proof of that love, but this time proof of rejected love. God's judgement comes into the world now only through the preaching of the Word, and it is through hearing sermons that one is justified in Christ Jesus, declared free of guilt and sins. Everyone who docs not believe he is forgiven after hearing it proclaimed in the scrmon, and everyone who refuses to go and listen to the preaching spurns God's love in Jesus, and then God's justice comes into action, demanding hell for all who do not believe. So preaching is not nagging, bullying, or tirading about the evils of a person. Preaching, real preaching is done only in Church, and preaching is God's judgment. How Well Do You Know Canada... by Jack N, Oldham The Women's Missionary So- ciety of the Huron Presbyterial of the Presbyterian Church of Canada held their annual meeting in First Presbyterian Church, Seaforth • with delgates present from all groups except Belgrave and Auburn due to weather conditions.

Study shows Ozone levels at times too high for crops • i • 0 1 1 5 / / • 1 `moi •A• 4.• • i This sketch map of Huron County shows the six test sites where the effect of ozone contamination was measured on tobacco plants set out by D. P. Ormrod of the department of Horticultural Science at the University of Guelph. Number one is the farm of Adrian Vos near Blyth, two Is the farm of John Hazlitt in Colborne Township, three is the farm of Phil Durand north of Grand Bend, four is the farm of Harry Knip just over the county line in Middlesex County, five is the farm of Bob Allen near Brucefield and six the farm of Nick White near Seaforth. D.P. Ormrod, of the depart- ment of Horticultural Science at the University of Guelph, has released the findings of a test program conducted last summer .to determine the degree of ozone damage which can be expected to be sustained to crops in Huron County. According to Mr. Ormrod, sensitive crops such as white bean, snap bean, radish, sweet corn, potato, soybean and onion "would be expected to be injured by ozone episodes." "There is little doubt," the report notes, "that ozone concen- trations in Huron County are quite frequently higher than the threshold for crop plant damage." Last summer's program was carried out using tobacco plants as the test case. Seed of four tobacco cultivars, varying widely in ozone sensitivity, were sown in flats in a growth chamber at Guelph. Seedlings were transplanted first to 10 -cm, then to 25 cm ots. The cultivars used were Bel -W3 (super -sensitive to ozone), Bel -05 -(sensitive to ozone), Bel -BT (intermediate sensitivity to ozone), and Delhi 34 (relatively tolerant of ozone). Three plants of each cultivar were planted at each of six sites in or near Huron County, on June 16, 1976. Ozone concentration was monitored at Kippen, by the Ridgetown College of Agricult- ural Technology, using a Mast ozone meter and recorder, from June 3 to September 12, 1976. The record chart was used to determine daily high and low ozone concentrations. A number of ozone episodes occurred during the recording period. There were 37 days with an ozone peak concentration of 8.0 pphm or higher. The principal episodes occurred in June, early July and late August. The periou from July 27 to August 19 had low ozone levels except for August 3 and 4. The ozone analyzer records indicate that ozone injury to sensitive species would likely occur several times during the growing season in Huron County. The test plants were set out on the farms of Adrian Vos near Blyth, John Hazlitt in Colborne Township, Phil Durand, north of Grand Bend, Harry Knip just over the county line in Middlesex majority of the ozone contamina- tion is crossing Lake Huron from the United States, the result of pollution in large centers of population throughout Michigan State, Other tests, he explained, 4 H celebration Committee County, Bob Allen near Bruce - field and Nick White near Scaforth. Tobacco plans at each site were evaluated for the specific symptoms of ozone -induced leaf injury every two weeks. Each leaf on each plant was individually evaluated and the data averaged. New leaves were continuously produced so new sets of leaves were generally evaluated each 2 weeks. Photographs of leaf injury were taken occasionally. Injury to the super -sensitive Bel -W3 was extensive and roughly similar at all sites. The moderately sensitive Bel -05 was injured most at site one on all sampling dates and least at site three on June 30 and July 14 or site, four on July 29 or August 11. Bel -BT was injured only at sites one to three but generally not at sites four to six. The tolerant Delhi 34 had slight injury on July '14 and 29 at site one. The substnatial leaf injury on June 30 was probably the result of elevated atmospheric ozone concentrations which continued daily from June 23 to 30. The lower injury on Bel W-3 at all sites on July 14 compared to June 30 was associated with generally much lower ozone levels during the previous 10 days. Many of the injured leaves present on June 30 would be dead or abscised by July 14 and would thus not be included in the damage estimate. Similarly leaf injury on July 29 and August 11 was Tess than on June 30 as was ozone concentration during the previous 10 days. Tobacco plants were effective monitors of ozone concentrations at six sites in Huron County in 1976. Leaf injury on sensitive cultivars was consistent with ozone concentrations obtained by an instrumental method. Based on the response of Bel -W3 tobacco, ozone levels were considerable from time to time and rather uniform throughout the country. However, the less sensitive cultivar Bel -05 had more injury at some sites than at others. Such differential injury responses may indicate a stronger interaction of microclimate at a particular site with ozone -induced leaf injury in this cultivar. Ozone concentrations were not sufficient to injure substantially the more tolerant tobacco cultivars. According to Adrian Vos, the A committee of seven was elected to organize a day of activities to celebrate the Huron 4-H Club Leaders' -Association's 25th anniversary. The association, which marked its 25 years existence at its annual meeting and dinner in the 100F hall Clinton, January 20 will have , Simon Hallahan, RR 3, Blyth, Ron McMichaiel, Wroxeter, Jean Dinsmore, Fordwich, Bob McNeil, RR 5, Goderich, Maurice Hallahan, RR 1, Belgrave, Gordon Papple, RR 5, Seaforth, and John Clark, RR 5, Godcrich investigating the possibility of holding a day of celebration sometime in the summer. The association began in 1952 with 32 leaders representing 14 clubs with 198 members, and has grown today to 55 leaders from 30 clubs with 371 members. Making further comparison, Huron county extension assistant, Len MacGregor reported that 92 -per cent of the 371 4-H members last year completed their projects, the highest percentage in the province. The figure compares with the 88 percent completion of the 198 club members in 1952. Of the 1952 executive, only secretary -treasurer Maurice Hallahan remains on the execu- tive in 1977. Along with Maurice, who has held the position of secretary -treasurer for the last 25 years, the other members' elected to the 1977 executive were: president, Bob Hern, RR 1, Woodham; vice-presidents, Albert VanDyken, RR 1, Exeter and Glen McNeil, RR 6, Goderich; and past president, Jean Dinsmore, Fordwich. The 10 directors elected for the year were: beef, Barry Miller, RR 3, Exeter; dairy, Brian Oldfield, RR 4, Scaforth; field crops, Bob Simpson, RR 3, Lucan; sheep, Don Kernick, Goderich; swine, Graeme Craig, RR 1, Walton; horse, Jean Dinsmore, Fordwich; rabbit, Ray Hanna, RR 2, Auburn; snowmobile, Beth Cooper, RR 3, Kippen; tractor, Allan Haugh, RR 1, Brucefield; plowmen, Bill Leeming, RR 4, Walton and John Clark, RR 5, Goderich.

BY BILL SMILEY Had the 'flu this week and took a couple of days off work. That made 10 days in the last 15 years on the job. And I rediscovered the reason I will, time and again, totter off to work when I'm practically on my hands and knees with some ailment. It's because I nearly go out of my skull with boredom when I'm home sick. I'm not saying my wife isn't a delightful conversationalist or a charming companion. She is. But when you have the 'flu you want neither delight nor charm. You just want to be left alone like an old dog, to live or die as the Lord decides. She won't leave me alone. She brings me a big breakfast to bed when all 1 really want is a sharp harikari knife. After once spend- ing a year in bed, in a sanatorium, I hate eating in bed. Trying to balance a tray on the knees. Charting your life Spilling coffee on the sheets, with the inevitable blast from the laundress. Dripping gooey egg down the front of your pyjamas. Then by lunch-time, I'm so bored with bed that I stagger up and dress, dying or not. And she starts again. I should have some lunch to keep my strength up. Have you taken your antio-biotic pills, dear? Maybe you should watch TV for a while to keep your spirits up. Would you like another cup of tea? 1 don't want another cup of tea. I'm drowning in it already. I don't want any sardines on toast, or cheese bits in the oven, or nice tasty soup. My pills make me dizzy. TV makes me want to throw up. This has got to be the swine flu. Am 1 really dying or will I just be paralyzed for life. Does God really exist? If He does, why is He dumping this on me? Well, all that is bad enough. But during this session, the worst happened. 1 ran out of reading material. By the end of Day Two I had whipped through three library books, two daily papers twice a day, and half -a -dozen weeklies, a couple of news magazines, and the directions on the cereal box, in English and French. The inevitable occurred. 1 was forced to read one of those women's magazines thatmy wife buys occasionally at the super- market when she sees an interesting recipe. It plunged me into an even deeper, almost suicidal, depression. One of the feature articles told me I must love myself first, if 1 were going to amount to anything. l plowed through it with growing disgust, considering that at the moment 1 despised myself, modern medicine, my wife, and almost anything else 1 could think of. When I got to a list of things I must stop doing if I were to love myself, and read, "Not having orgasms," 1 threw up all over the livingroom rug. After settling my stomach with a hot toddy, and finding nothing else around that I hadn't read twice, 1 picked up the magazine again, in sheer desperation. The other feature article plunged me once again into abysmal gloom. it was called, "Chart Your Way to Success." When 1 read about the author that she is a professor of educational psychology, I should have stopped right there. I know Reader tells of new humus toilet With discussion underway a- bout the Blyth sewage system a reader though this information on a new European treatment method might be of interest. EUROPEAN SEWAGE DISPOSAL There is an internal sewage - disposal method being used in Europe and was introduced into the United States in 1974. Invented in Sweden, clivus multrum in Lation means "in- clingin compost room". The system comprises a three -section tank, or chamber, in which toilet and kitchen wast decompose slowly for two or three years, producing a small amount of odourless humus which can be returned to the soil. Priced in the low four -figure range, this system has a vent pipe Which carries away odours, water vapor, and carbon dioxide pro- duced by decomposition. More than 90 percent of the waste materials escape up the vent pipe in the form of gas . or water vapour. Unlike any other sewage - treatment system, it uses no water, thus saving 40 to 50 percent of the total water Bus to travel to Plowmen's Association Convention The Ontario Plowmen's Asso- ciation Convention will be held at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, on February 14th and 15th, 1977.

It is not connected to sewer mains or septic tanks, has no moving parts, and requires virtually no maintenance. Tubes connect the container to the kitchen and toilet. A draft maintained by natural convection ensures that the process is essentially aerobic (one in which oxygen breathing organisins do the work). Thus the bathroom and kitchen are kept free of odours. The process wastes no water because it uses none. It needs no exteranl supply of energy or chimicals to effect the decompo- sition because the energy is inherent in the wastes them- selves. The Multrum, in principle, is adaptable to urban and rural buildings, including new and existing houses, campground and forest comfort stations, vacation cottages, and samll commercial facilities. The system is adaptable to seasonal as well as year-round use in climates from desert to arctic. The addition of kitchen garbage is necessary, or some other material which is high in cellulose, such as leaves, saw- dust, shredded hay, or straw.

PG. 11. how much those birds know about real life. They live in a dream world of stuff like "positive reinforcement" and "negative feedback." But 1 pressed on. After wading through three sacharine endorse- ments from people whose whole life she had changed, I went on to this: "You too can follow in the footsteps of Lee, Mark and Doris, You can define and attain your own success." It seems that all you have to do' is make a chart, divided into three periods, each representing a third of your life, beginning at the age of five. Then you list three successes for each period and opposite each, list why it was a success for you. Out of sheer ennui, I started a chart. In the first period, from five to 15,1 could think of only one success. I won one fight- with a belligerent urchin named George Cornell, with whom I tangled frequently. It was a success for me because it was the only one 1 ever did win. In the second period, from 15 to 30, again I could think of only one success: I learned to fly an airplane. but this wasn't such a great success since, because of it, 1 spent a stretch in a German prison camp. In the third period, from 30 on, I couldn't think of a single success, I became a newspaper editor through sheer accident. All that got me was 10 years laboring as a galley slave to pay off the mortgage on the paper. Then I became a teacher, which any damfool could become in those days. They were pulling bodies in off the streets because of the baby boom hitting the high schools. I became head of the English Department purely because nobody else was qualified, not on merit, exper- ience or dedication. I became a syndicated colum- nist by chance. All that gets me is a deadline hanging about my neck like a big old albatross. By the time I'd finished making out the chart, I realized, not for the first time, that 1 was an utter failure, and that it was going to take a lot more than a chart to change things. It was then that I made my one and only resolution for 1977. And all subsequent years. I will never again, should I be forced to persue nothing more exciting than the small print on toothpaste tubes, read another woman's magazine from a supermarket. Immediately I made this resolve, I felt a lot better, and next morning was back at work.

A sewing course pertaining to quilts will be given by Mrs. Lorne Jamieson and Mrs. Clarence Hanna. Please contact on or before Feb. 12. Teenagers and young women are cordially invited. Blyth Swinging Seniors hear about sewer costs Blyth Swinging Seniors swung into 1977 on January 26 when approximately 60 members par- took of a bounteous smorgasbord dinner in Memorial Hall. No sooner had. they . settled into after -meal comfort when Village Clerk Larry Walsh swung in with his big black book of sewer information and presented a comprehensive review of efforts made by Blyth councils, citizens and outside officials from the early 1960's to the present time to effect improved sanitation in the village. Larry affably answered questions on the lay -out and cost of the proposed sewerage system stating that payment by users will begin on its completion in 1980. Worried expressions on some of his listeners' faces were eradicated by his announcement that the Senior Citizens' apart- ment building, work on which will commence this spring, will be ready for occupancy in October of this year. President Evalena Webster thanked Larry for his fine report and called on Treasurer Charles Crawford, who reported a healthy state of finances, and secretary Gladys Johnson who read the minutes of the 1975 annual meeting held in January 1976. The nominating committee for officers for 1977 consisted of Mary Campbell, Harvey Sillib and Jean Griffiths who read the following slate: President-Eva- lena Webster; first vice Presi- dent, Russell Wilson; second vice President, Jean Griffiths; Trea- surer, Clarence Crawford; Secre- tary, Grace Easom; Lunch Com- mittee, Gladys Johnson, Mary Nesbit, Mae McDonald, Mary Campbell, Velma Naylor, Lottie McClennan, Marian Wright, Mol- lie Grant; Program Committee, Louise Butte!, Evelyn Smith, Harold Carter; Pianists, Ruby Philip Rena Watt; Song Leaders, Mary Wightman, Lillian McClin- chey, Melda McElroy (substi- tute); Card Games, Harvey Sillib; Card Conveners, Anne McNichol, Mollie Grant, John Young. Transportation, Bill Carter, Roy Easom, Charles Smith. Entertainment throughout the afternoon included a brisk sing- song conducted by Mary Wight - man and Ruby Philp, games of euchre, lost heir and scrabble and one court of shuffleboard where Bill Carter, Gordon' McDowell, Russ Wilson and John Young displayed their skills. The dinner was under the capable direction of Mollie Grant, Marian Wright, Mary Campbell and Velma Naylor. The next meeting of the Swinging Seniors will be held on February 23 in Memorial Hall at 2 p.m., Blyth .Peewees continue to win On Jan 21 the Blyth Peewees played against the Peewees from Dublin in Blyth. The boys from Dublin took over from the start of the game with our boys having some trouble getting -orgainzed under the strong checking of the Dublin team. Dublin scored first but Blyth fought back to tie the game and go ahead by one goal in the second period, Dublin tied it up in the third to end the scoring. Blyth peewees whip Hensall 122 On Thurs, Jan. 27, the Blyth Peewees journeyed to Hensall to play the Hensall Peewees. This was another easy game for the local boys as they overpowered the Hensall Peewees to the tune of 12 to 2» Goal scorers for Blyth were Kevin Coultes with 6, Jerry Hoggarth with 2, Darryl Chal- mers 2, Ricky Scrimgeour with 1, and Bruce Hunking with 1. Assists went to Darryl Chal- mers with 3, Ricky Scrimgeour with 4, Ken Fitzgerald with 2, Jerry Hoggarth with 1, Kurth Whitfield with 1, Kevin Coultes with 3 and Jim Oster with 2, We are sorry to report that the Blyth Peewees could not make it to Port Huron to play in the North American Silver Stick tournament because of the snow storm on last weekend. Tips on nutrition Here are seven commonly asked questions about food and nutrition. Some of the 750 professional dietitians in Ontario compiled the answers, as a public service aimed to help readers. If readers have any questions they would like answered, the Ontario Dietetic Association would be delighted to hear from them. 1. Q. I've noticed that many foods I buy are fortified with synthetic vitamins. Are these as good. as the real thing? A. Nature's vitamins are chemically identical to those synthetically prepared by man. There is no evidence to suggest that one is better than the other, your body gains the same health benefits from both. 2. Q. Am 1 guaranteed that packaged meats will maintain their quality up to the "Best Before" date on the label? A. The "Best Before" date does not mean that the product is guaranteed perfect if used before the date stamped nor that it is not perfect if used after. Handling has a great deal to do with the quality and keeping time. Most meats require refrigeration at or below 40 degrees F. (5 deg. C). If in the distribution cycle from processing plant to table the temperatures become higher, the keeping period can be greatly reduced. The four guides to quality are... how does it taste, how does it smell, what is its appearance.and what is the "Best Before" date? 3.Q. My mother-in-law always cooks vegetables in a pressure cooker. Is there any logical reason for this? A. Yes, there's a very good reason. Vitamins are conserved in her pressure cooker because of fast cooking, lack of air and the small amount of liquid used. Why don't you take up pressure cooking? 4. My mother claims that Blackstrap mollasses helps her arthritis. Could this be true? A Sorry to say, it's an old wive's tale! Blackstrap molasses is a byproduct of sugar refining It contains available iron - but little else. Other sources of iron such as meat, eggs and green vegetables are just as good (and more appealing!), and offer other nutrients at the same time. There is no proof for claims that blackstrap molasses can cure ulcers, cancer, varicose veins, arthritis or "spring fever" 1 5. 0. What's in milk for you? A. Milk is the most n utritious single food on your shopping list. Every member of your family... and you tool(..needs milk every day for nutritional health. Milk's most important food values are: Calcium and Phosphorus, minerals essential to build and keep sound teeth and bones... made even more effective by the Vitamin D you Dairy adds during processing; Riboflavin, a li vitamin, acts like a spark plug to release body energy....essential for many normal body functions, healthy eyes and skin; Protein, the high quality complete kind, supports growth and helps maintain strong, healthy muscles and tissues....combines with cereal or vegetable proteins to improve their quality; Vitamin A, found in milk's fat, helps promote normal growth, good vision, healthy skin, and resistance to infectio-n. Vitamin A is added to skim and partly skimmed milks. (In Canada, it is difficult to provide enough calcium for each family member....young, adult or older...without including milk and foods made from milk in daily meals. Also, milk is the most important food source of ribo- flavin in Canada, and its protein ranks high on the quality scale with that of meat, fish, poultry and eggs.) 6. Q. Are parsnips poisonous if left in the ground all winter? A. No, they are safe to eat. It is a common practice to leave them in the ground where they keep very well. 7. Q. 1 adore dried fruits, and have been told that they have fewer calories than fresh fruit. Is this correct? A. Sorry, but no! Only the water has been extracted in dried fruits and remember that weight for weight, dried fruits have more calories than their fresh counterparts. if you have a question on nutrition, write to: "Nutrition Know How" The Ontario Dietetic ASsociation 234 Eglinton Avenue, East Suite 402, Toronto, Ontario, M4P 1K5 •G The game ended 2 to 2. Goal scorers for Blyth were Rick Scrimgeour and Jerry Hoggarth with one each. Assists went to Kevin Coultes with 1, Darryl Chalmers with 1 and Keith Hallam with 1. On Jan, 22, the Blyth Peewees played at home against the Peewees from Grand Bend. This was an easy game for the Blyth boys as they out scored the Grand Bend Peewees by the score of 23 to 2. Goal scorers for Blyth were Bruce Hunking with 3, Keviri Coultes with 6, Darryl Chalmers with 2, Jerry Hoggarth with 3, Brent Andrews with 1, Ricky Scrimgeour with 2, Ken Fitzgeral with 2, and Kurt Whitfield with 4. Assists went to Jim Oster with 1, Bruce Hunking with 7, Kevin Coultes with 4, Darryl Chalmers with 2, Jerry Hoggarth with 7, Brnet Andrews with 2, Ricky Scrimgeour with 4, Keith Hallam with 2, Ken Fitzgeral with 2 and Kurth Whitfield with 4. On Jan. 23, the Blyth Peewees played at home against the Milverton Peewees. This was another hard fought game for the Blyth boys as Milverton was determined to go home with a win. Kevin Coultes opened the scoring for _ Blyth with an unassisted goal at 14:35 of the first period only to have Milverton come back and tie it up four minutes and six seconds later, The period ended tied at 1 to 1. At the start of the second period Bruce Hunking scored. from Ken Fitzgerald to put Blyth ahead again. Milverton came right back and tied the game only 3 minutes, 40 seconds later. A minute and two seconds alter Jerry Hoggarth put blyth ahead with a goal assisted by Bruce Hunking and Kurth Whitfield, Kevin Coultes scored* two more goals assisted by Darryl Chalmers and Ricky Scrimgeour to end the second period the score being 5 to 3 for Blyth. At the first of the third period Milverton caught the Blyth boys sleeping and tied the game 5 to 5. At 8:55 of the third period Bruce Hunking scored unassisted to put Blyth ahead only to have Milverton tie it up 3 minutes and 33 seconds later. The last five minutes of the game was hard fought until Ricky Scrimgeour put it away for Blyth with 25 seconds left in the game. Kevin Coultes and Darryl Chalmers assisted on Rick's goal. The socre ended 7 to 6 for Blyth.

All. the Presidents BY VONNI LEE "All the President's Men" has been chosen the best motion picture of 1976 by both the New York Film Critics and the National Society of Film Critics. The story of Watergate and two hard- hitting reporters who first brought the story to light, it starred Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman. Named second best picture was "Taxi Driver", judged so by the national society. The two directors for those two pictures were also named by the national league, Martin Scorsese Men named best movie for "Taxi Driver" Number One and Alan Pakula of "ATPM" Number Two. Young Sissy Spacck who played the demon -possessed teenager in "Carrie" was named best actress with Faye Dunaway receiving recognition for her role in "Network". The even younger Jodie Foster of "Taxi Driver" was named best supporting actress. In the actors' category, Robert De Niro was named best actor for his role in "Taxi Driver". Runner-up was a tie between William Holden of "Network" and Gerard Depardieu for "The Last Woman". Jason Robards Jr., the boss from "All the President's Men" was named best supporting actor with second place going to Harvey Keitel for his work in "Taxi Driver". "Network", a drama about behind -the scenes happenings at a large television network, was named for its screenplay. These awards are' chosen by film critics who may be looking Ostomy club may be formed in Huron County Mrs, Eleanor . Taman of 7 Bennett Street East in Goderich said last week she would like to hear from all Ostomy patients in the Huron -Bruce region who would be interested in forming an Ostomy Club and Centre designed to provide information and support for new Ostomy patients and also more efficient, and possibly less expensive equipment supply. Those interested patients, as well as doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel involved with the treatment of Ostomy cases, are invited to join the new organization, Mrs. Taman asks all such persons to telephone her at 524-8127 or 'write her before February 12 so that a final date can be established for an organizational meeting at the Goderich and District Collegiate Institute during the third or fourth week of February. The general public is also invited, • Mrs. Sidney Tebitt, president of the London Ostomy Club, will be on hand for that meeting to explain how mush an organization can serve Ostomy. patients throughout this area. She will also present a short film entitled "The Most Secret Surgery Unveiled" which serves to explain away much of the mystery surrounding Ostomates. Mrs. Taman explains that at the moment OHIP does not provide coverage for the very expensive equipment and drugs needed by Ostomy patients. and that one of the main topics of discussion will be organization of a program to encourage the Ministry of Health to introduce necessary legislation to this end. 'At the moment only Manitoba provides such coverage. The club organizers also notes that the local hospitals and pharmacies do not, at the moment, carry supplies for Ostomy patients and establish- PaRTianatrion) Fitness. In your heart you know it's right. ment of a possible program to alter this situation will also be on the meeting agenda. An Ostomy is by-pass surgery, due to cancer or other problems, which circumvents the normal functions of the bowel, bladder or kidney and usually involves removal of the damaged organ. Those attending the February meeting are asked to bring an appliance with them. for entertainment value more than an abundance of great talent. In any case, they are a separate set of awards from the Academy Awards. Nominations for the Oscars will be made public in mid-February, with the awards to be prsented in March. Almost a sure bet to have made it to the Oscar list a month ago was Peter Finch who turned in such a powerful performance as the deranged news anchorman in "Network". Lat week he died after collapsing in a Beverly Hills hotel, supposedly from a heart attach. He was 60 years old. He gave many top perform- ances throughout his career, both as a leading man and in character roles. But none brought him more fame or is a more fitting memorial to him than the "Network" role in which he gave his all. A recent appeal for funds has brought the Huron Country Playhouse at Grand Bend $6,474 toward incurred building costs. Other fund-raising activities throughout the coming year will hopefully boost the amount of money for the support of the centre which endured some tough breaks last year. They face a $15,000 cash deficit which they are confident will be wiped out this year. Canada Arts Council grants that failed to come through last year also hit them hard, cancelling some of their planned productions. At a recent meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Huron Country Playhouse, Len Evans, a Sarnia radio station manager, was elected as the new chairman, succeeding Bill Cochrane of Goderich. Bill Amos of Parkhill is vice-chairman; Jill Waters, Parkhill, secretary; Doug Coo of Grand Bend, treasurer, and Mary Spieran of Grand Bend, recording secretary. Hoping for a better year in '77, artistic director James Murphy informed members of the board that he is attempting to obtain rights to the hit Broadway play, "Same Time Next Year" by Canadian playwright Bernard Slade. All of us interested in the arts in this part of Western Ontario hope the playhouse has seen the last of its problems.

Insects attracted to the Sundew are trapped by a sticky fluid secreted by glandular hairs on the leaves. The leaves gradually fold around a trapped insect and absorb its juices.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/FEBRUARY 2, 1977. Board adopts part-time teacher schedule The Huron County Board of Education has adopted a pay scale for occasional supply teachers in the county basing their decision on a report submitted by superintendent of education Ralph Smith. The salary scale was negotiated this year for the first time separating incomes for full time teachers and supply teachers. Mr. Smith told the board that normally the two salaries are negotiated by the federation of teachers at the same time but this year they were separated since supply teachers are not federation members, The incomes are divided between teachers holding degrees and those not. Group A teachers are those• qualified to teach secondary school and elementary school teachers with an approved university degree and they will be paid $52 per day, a decrease of 80 cents. Group B teachers, unqualified secondary school teachers and elementary school teachers with no degree will be paid $45.91 daily, an increase of $3.91, The salaries will be changed if the supply teacher works in the county system more •than 15 consecutive days. The 15 day period is classed as long term supply and places the teacher on the same salary grid as full time teachers. Only four teachers taught on long term supply in 1975-76. The agreement is retroactive to January 1, 1977 and will be in effect for the entire' year. CORRECTION In last week's account of the Blyth Horticultural Society annual meeting it should have read that Mrs. Shirley Shobbrook was elected first vice-president and Mrs. Gail King second vice-pre- sident.
