The meetings, which will be held for the next three Monday nights at 7:30 in the theatre, are necessary in order to give the county planning department the necessary information to design a secondary land -use plan which will effect Blyth for many years to come. Reeve Don Noble described the plan as a blueprint for the future growth of the village. Reeve Noble opened the meeting than intorduced Roman Dzus who carried the ball for most of the meeting. He began by giving some general information on how a plan is arrived at, The first step, he said is the gathering of factual information on which the plan is based, These included, he said, such things at the physical terrain which can determine what kind of growth can take place; the social characteristics such as growth trends and the age patterns in the population and an annalysis of the present land uses in the village. He took his small audience of under 20 persons, on a tour of the village through the use of slides to show some of the present landuses. He pointed out such things as the present shortage of duplex and apartment buildings in the village which might mean lower housing costs. He suggested the future role of mobile homes in the housing pattern might be a topic of discussion. He wondered about what the public felt about the present park and recreation facilities and the need for more, particularly in the river flat area. • He wondered what the public felt about the adequacy of such things as downtown shopping facilities, parking facilities and public services. On the industrial side of things, he noted that there are not great Huron eductation budget up 5 mills Huron County Board of Education adopted a $20,529,864 budget Monday afternoon approving an 11.2 percent increase in expenses over 1976. The increase will mean an average mill increase of five in the county raising the minicipal levy to 34.7 mills, The increased mill rate in an average each municipality will have to face but board chairman Herb Turkheim said not every municipality will suffer the same fate due to the increase. "Some municipalites will be paying two or three mills according to their assessment," he said, "and. some will be paying much more that five mills." Business superintendant Roy Dunlop outlined the budget for the• board citing salaries and benefits as the major reason for the increase. Last year's budget slated $15,917,562 for ordinary board costs such as salary while debt charges, tarnsporta- tions costs and other extraordinary needs required $2,549,548 to be spent. This year $17,386,920 will be spent on ordinary items and $3,142,944 on extraordinary. Mr. Dunlop said the budget was calculated on the Anit-Inflation . Board remaining in operating adding that if the MB is disbanded the board could be in torube as far as wage negotiation are concerned. He said the budget increase for salaries and benefitsm, which total. 74.2 percent of the budget, was based on a 10 percent increase in wages. "Of all the figures in the budget that's the one I'm least happy about," said Dunlop. "If the AIB is intact and we are successfull in wage negotiations we are all right but if that doesn't happen quite frankly we don't have enough money put aside to pay the costs." The salaries in 1976 cost taxpayers $14,055,540 and in 1977 the budget committee set aside $15,234,290 to cover •increases for the board's 650 some odd employees: The business superintendant said his concered was based on a decision made by the budget committee in 1976. He said the committee decided to use about $200,000 in reserves the board had in an effort to keep the budget in line with 1975 and the move had left the board walking a thin line between solvency and deficit. He said he had budgeted $50,000 for this year to be returned to the fund and hoped it could be built back up without the board having to use it. The budget calls for municipalities to run over $5,609007 to the board which includes money needed to correct eros in the last two years' budgets. Dunlop said in 1975 the committee had overestimated grants by $89,088 and 1.,76 had overestimated by $3,898 leaving the board short those amounts in its requistion totals. HL said the municipalities would have to pay those costs this year to enable the board to clear. the books. The other major expense faced in 1977 is the purchase of four new school buses • which the board approved at its February meeting. The buses cost a total of $98,00b which showed up in an increase in capital equipment purchases. Dunlop said the committee decided last year to keep capital costs at a bare minimum and this year had met with considerable opposition in that area, He said teachers were concerned that equipment in schools was deteriorat- ing and needed replacement and that fact combined with an increase in the grant structure urged the committee to support the increased capital costs. Trustee John Henderson said he felt the board need more information on the budget before it could make a decision on it. He said the trustees who sit on the education committee make decisions regularly with no idea what those decisions will cost. He said the board should have all the information possible claiming in the past they used to that material. Shirley Hazlitt supported Henderson's. claim adding that the decisions are made with no idea as to how they will ultimately affect the budget. Director of education John Cochrane said the normal procedure is for, decisons made by the education committee to be passed on to the management committee to see if the funds are available. "Salaries are the number one cost and there is nothing that can be done about them, interjected Dunlop. "Maybe there is," said Henderson. Ashfield trustee Eugene Frayne, sug- gested that the two committee system deal of industrial facilites now and pointed out the need for thought on such things as where industry should be concentrated and the future use of vacant land in the village for industrial uses. The technical data gathered by the planning department is not enough, he said. The most important part of the plan is learning what the people themselves want for the village's future so the plan can be taylored as much as possible to these aspiriations. Following the introduction a break of about a half hour was taken to allow those present to have coffee and doughnuts and mingle and discuss their ideas. The meeting was then brought back to order and a question and answer program held. Much of the discussion in this period centred around the proposed sewer system and the effect it will ave on the plan. Mr. Dzus explained that the engineers designing the sewer system will decide which land can be developed most economically from a servicing point of view and it will then be up to the plan to decide how 'this land can be best put to use. Another topic discussed concerned the amount of heavy traffice on Highway 4 through the downtown area and the possiblity of a highway bypass and what effect this might have on the business section if it did take place. Discussion was also about the potential industrial growth. Would, asked Bruce Falconer, the sewer system give Blyth area hope of getting more industry.? Had it had this effect in other town? Mr. Dzus said the system would allow Blyth to accomodate industry but it was Blyth's ability to attract people that would determine if it grew. He said it would be up to the people of the. village to determine if thy want it to grown or wanted to stay stable. Next week's meeting will centre around commerical and industrial development. maybe was inadequate pointing out that the management committee will base its decision on dollars and cents without being aware of the priority involved. He suggested that some important decision could possibly be wasted despits its importance simply because there wasn't enough money on hand to pay the costs. Shirley Hazlitt added that the common answer to this problem is that any trustee can go to the meeting of their choice, she said. Both committees meet simultaneous- ly and half the board sits on education and half sits on management. The Colborne trustee said the system broke down due to that reason. "That make my point as to why the standing committee system is no good," said Cochrane. Clarence MacDonald said he felt that the system the board used now was the best in a long time. He said he had been a trustee for perhaps a long or longer than anyone in the room and spoke from experience. He said quite often in the past meetings would extend until the wee hours of the morning over petty issues and those days are gone. "The committee system stems from a certain amount of trust and if that trust is missing the board is in trouble," he said. Dunlop said the material the board members were discussing was always available to anyone wanting to see it. He said the committee had been working a long time on the budget and the trustees Continued on pg. 10. PG, 1 THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 9, 1977.

INtaional Defence Photo] DEAR ANN LANDERS: A group of friends, all fairly well informed and intelligent, were discussing the state of the union last evening. Someone expressed the notion that while some people were concerned about the effect of a Fundamentalist Baptist in the White House, the Jews and Catholics were quietly taking over Congress. As usual, the individual who made this allegation had no facts or figures to support his theory. Is there any truth in it? Will you please give us the real story? --Interested in Sarasota. DEAR IN: Although the new United States Congress (House and Senate) has more Roman Catholics and Jews than the preceding lineup, there is no - chance of a "takeover." Here is the present count: 371 Protes- tants in the present Congress - down 9. 129 Roman Catholics -- up 6. 27 Jews -- up 3. Although the Jewish and Roman Catholic totals are record highs for both groups, Protest- ants hold about 70 per cent of the seats in both Houses, which is their share of the population. Roman Catholics hold about 25 per cent and Jews about 3 per cent, which represents their approximate proportion of the general population in this country. I was not the least bit "concerned" when a Catholic was elected President, although some said there would surely be a hotline from the White House to the Vatican. 1 am equally unconcerned about President Carter's Baptist Fundamentalism, DEAR ANN LANDERS: May 1 be the 10,000th reader to challenge the statement of the Ph.D. in clinical psychology? .Hc said, "I have yet to run into a male juvenile delinquent who wasn't hit with a fist, board; belt or a piece of rope." I would be happy to provide a dossier that will knock his theory into a cocked hat. I can present 10 years' documentation of the incorrigible delinquency of our well -loved and tenderly -raised only son, who never had a hand laid on him except in a loving gesture and who now, at 21, towers over both of us and makes our lives hell with his bullying Religion in the Whitehouse threats and brutish behavior, In an effort to educate that naive psychologist, 1 would be willing to show him, with school, .court and psychiatric records, what our son has done to us 'these last ten years, The principal victim, of course, is himself. Nevertheless, we, his parents, are still engaged in the never- ending search for "the answer." Just sign us. •• Seething land Suffering] In The Suburbs. DEAR FRIENDS IN THE SUBURBS: Here is your letter - and although you weren't the "10,000th," hundreds of others did write to express the same point of view. There is no single explanation for delinquent children. But perhaps your misfortune had something to do with he fact that you never "laid a hand on him." While I'm violently opposed to belts, ropes, boards, etc., very young children sometimes learn a great deal about the family "pecking order" when a well- placed hand is applied to the seat of the problem. Permissiveness has ruined a whole generation of young people. I'm happy to report that today's young parents are relying more on their instincts and less on the "experts".

Planning workshops a golden opportunity The current series of planning workshops being held by the Blyth Village council and the Huron County Planning Department could prove to be one of the most interesting and important events to happen in Blyth in a long time, The workshops provide a golden opportunity for the people of the village to give some real thought as to just where their community should be going. What are the things wrong with the village now? What are the problems we could get into in the future? How can we get the things for our town which we don't have now but would like to have? Do we have enough parkland and recreation facilities? Is the downtown shopping area adequate? Do we need more parking? Is there a need for more low cost housing? There are so many questions that need to be asked, so many solutions to be sought. Usually we grumble about the inadequacies of our town when we can't find a parking space or we can't find adequate housing, but usually we just grumble to ourselves or our neighbours. It doesn't do anyone any good. These workshops, however, provide a chance for the whole community to sit down and discuss where our village should be going. When one thinks of the fact that Blyth is now 100 years old and probably never in that time has anyone really sat down and taken an / overall view of where we should be going, this is important. Decisions will be made based on the information gathered from these meetings which will effect the whole future of the village. It is important that as many people as possible have input into those decisions. Certainly it is important that a lot more people than the 15 or so who showed ul Monday night, take part. It is the duty of our citizens but it more than just a duty. The meeting can be very informative, interesting and stimulating and have us all sit down and think about our village. The next three weeks could be among the most important three weeks in our history. Make sure you play your part. Time to put sanity back in professional hockey Rumours are once again surfacing the meger between the National and World •Hocky keagues is just around the corner. Let's hope so. The hockey world is a mess. The present situation shows just how stupid the heirarchy of hockey has been in the past dozen years or so. It's hard to feel sorry for the owners who are now in trouble since, through greed, they have dug their own grave. But the hockey fan, particularly the long suffering Canadian fan deserves better. ome fanatical supporters of the N.H.L. see the solution of the problem as wiping out the W.HA. which they feel isn't worth anything anyway. They fail to realize that there are many fine players in the W.H.A. and some excellent teams. More important, there are several strong Canadian franchises. More sympathy could be given to the NHL if it hadn't worked so hard over the years to give franchises to any American city that came calling while ignoring Canadian cities. It took virtual government threats to get a team in Vancouver which has turned out to be one of the league's strongest franchise despite a horrible hockey team. How long would it have taken to get teams in Edmonton, Winnipeg or Quebec city if not for the W.H.A. Amalgamation would bring the best of the two leagues together, give the hockey fan a decent break again and keep the Canadian teams going. It's so sensible that it seems impossible the frozen heads of the N.H.L. leadership like Harold Ballard would accept it. C.B.0 shows us our faults So much has been written negatively about the role of the C.B.0 in telling Canadians about themselves recently that perhaps it is a time to tell about some of the good things the corporation is doing. The charges of bias in news reporting in the French sector of the network have brought counter charges from media people, not just in the C.B.0 but elsewhere accusing the government of trying to mussle freedom of speach. It's the usual knee-jerk reaction of all people in the media whenever they receive criticism on anything, particularly from politicians. Criticism, you see, is just a one-way street. Media people can criticize politicians but things just aren't supposed to be the other way around. Only the press, it seems, is perfect. But the C.B.0 Monday night showed that being unbiased toward separatism does not necessarily mean being biased toward federalism. The C.B.C. did a great job in showing the stupidity of English Canada in areas like the Niagara Penisula where there is a substantial French population with no rights given to this group. We have many things to be ashamed of even here in Ontario, let alone in places west of Ontario wher anti -French sentiment is even higher. The C.B.C. is doing us a service by showing our bigotry. It should do so more often. Winter can be beautiful Back through the Standard files 5 YEARS AGO MARCH 8,1972 Moving on the suggestion of Councillor Williafn Riehl Blyth Village council n{oved to set up a planning board( Councillor Robin Lawrie pushed for an industrial committee to be set up and this too was -accepted. The Blyth Standard sponsored a subscription contest with a first prize of a new bicycle to the youngster selling the most subsctiptions. Blyth Figure Skating club was preparing for the annual skating show. An interem street budget of $15,000 was accepted by village council. Mrs. Faye Fear retired as secretary of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture after six years. 10 YEARS AGO MARCH 8, 1967 The postponed Blyth Lions Club ice carnival took place last Friday evening in the local arena. The event drew a very. fine attendance of district children and a fairly good crowd of adults. At the monthly meeting of the Blyth Minicipal Council, John Manning, George Radford, Will- iam Hull, Edward Watson and councillor George Hubbard be appointed to a committee to purchase and ahve installed an artificial ice plant for the Blyth arena. It was reported in the same issue that the drive for funds for the project was almost completed with only $2500 still needed. 15 YEARS AGO MARCH 14, 1962 Blyth firemen were again called on by Wingham for assitance last Thursday morning when fire broke out in the CKNX Radio and TV station. The call came in at 6:30 a.m. and the local firemen made the 12 mile run to Wingham and had three hpses to the fire in record time. The fire start- ed after an explosion in the electronic lab, and within minutes flames had made their way to the top of the older portion of the building which was formerly the Wingham High School. Signs of spring are beginning to appear around the country- side ountryside and with them cones the hope of an early spring. Ben Riley, R.R.111, Londesboro, re- ported scing a groundhog on Thursday morning, March 8, behind Burns Church in Hullett township. Since it will take most of a year to construct the one and one-half million dollar Vocational addition to the Clinton District Collegiate lnstitue and since construction will probably not start until May, the Vocational addition to C.D.C- 1 will not be open to classes unti Sept. 1963. The Hullett Federation of Agriculture held their regular meeting in Londesboro with a good attendance. Mr. Carl Hemingway, Federation fieldman was present and showed a film on "Farm Safety" which was enjoy- ed by everyone. 25 YEARS AGO MARCH 12, 1952 Tools, stolen some time during the weekend from the Blyth C.P.R. tool house, are believed to be the ones used by theives to gain access to buildings at Dublin and Mitchell on Monday night. John W. Hanna, M.P.P. of Wingham, made one of his frequent sops in Blyth on Sat- urday morning. He was on his way to the Seed Fair at Clinton. Working in , the bush one day recently, Mr. Alvin Snell of Westfield, accompanied by a neighbour, Mr. Hugh Wharton, saw a bird which they described as a bald eagle. The bird had a pure white head and tail and was about the size of a hen. hen. Mr. Snell believes they are quite rare, at least it was the first one he had ever contacted. An accident, which might easily have resulted in more serious injury occurred just north of the C.P.R. railway tracks about 5 p.m. Wednesday after- noon of last. week. The accident involved a car driven by Mr. Walter McGill, and a 6 -year-old boy, Sydney Gregory, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gregory. The lad, in company with his sister, Emma, and brother Fred- die, ran across the highway from their father's garage, just as Mr. McGill was coming south in his car. Mr. McGill applied the brakes but the icy conditions prevailing at the time kept his car in motion until the bumper sturck the boy. Mr. McGill turned the wheel sharply at the moment of impact and the victim passed under the car between the two front wheels, but came out the side between the fron wheel and the rear wheel, which may have saved him from more serious injury. The boy was immediately given medical attention and his injuries were pronounced not serious. 35 YEARS AGO MARCH 11, 1942 The statistics compiled by the County Clerk in the East Wawanosh farm survey shoed an assess acreage of 41,728.

Last week these two gentlemen went fishing on' the pond south of Earl Bentley's and report a nice string of chub for their efforts. The chub were lured through a hole cut in the ice, with the assistance of a hook and a piece of fat pork.

BY BILL SMILEY Ah, there's nothing more exhilarating that a good old- fashioned Canadian winter! (is this the same guy who wrote a glum, lugubrious column last week about the physical and financial horrors of just such?) We've just had three days of sun and no snow, and all those red eyed, drippy -nosed, hacking, whining, snow -shovelling Canad- ians of a week ago have been transformed into virile, vibrant, smiling, sickenly•hearty expon- ents of the fabulous Canadian winter. I made my stand a day or two after last week's column. 1 thought to myself "Screw this," or words to that effect. "I'm gonna go berserk. The Old Lady is getting weird. All my friends are either depressed or eerie. I'm gonna make the great escape." So I did. A certain group of young punks to whom i am forced to refer as my colleagues, have been after me, slyly and maliciously, for about two years, to attend one of their poker evenings. They knew perfectly well that my wife wouldn't let me go, even if I told her it was a group of Sunday School teachers, and we were only going to play for matches. They got after me again last Thursday. Maybe it was the weather, but something snapped. i said "Right, What time?" • They started to snicker, and poke each other with their elbows. This is known in their circle as humour. "Sure you won't have any trouble making it? We sometimes stay up as late as midnight, you know, Smiley. How ya gonna get through the next day's work?" And so on. I treated this juvenilia with the respect it deserved. There was only one more hurdle, and you know what that was. But there was no real problem with her. All i had to do was get out and check all my insurance policies, make sure the cars and the house were properly signed over and promise not to have a drink before dinner, in case 1 had one at the poker den, an!' the Old Battleaxe caved in. Oh, not completely. As I went out the door, she was yelling: "And don't expect the door to be unlocked when you get home, and if you're not here by midnight I'll call the police". But that was nothing. In the old End of the Blahs days, when she really loved me, and was really jealous, she'd Set physical. She'd throw her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist, and I'd have a hell of a time getting through the door before i could brush her off against a tree, or dump her in a They play what we used to call, before the male chauvinist crap began "Women's Poker". Games like Twenty-seven, Skip to My Loo, ninth card wild anything in your armpit doesn't count and split the pot four ways. 1t took three times as long to describe the game to be played as it did to play it. Had a Mississippi gambler, or even an old cowhand, been asked to sit in on just one of those deals, he'd have pulled his derringers, or his .38, as it might be, and started shooting "poker" players right and left. I hate to mention one more detail. But, old enough to be the father of most .of them, I was at work the next day bright as a shiny new dollar, teaching with my usual superb elegance, and looking askance at some of these bleary-eyed young "gamblers" who thought they were showing the old boy a big night out. Migawd, 1 was in rougher games than that when I was 17. However, i forgive them their misconceptions, and if they want to call a hangover being "dovyn with the .flu", that's their problem. Point is, I had made the big breakthrough of the winter blahs. On Saturday morning, was up at the crack of noon, and off skiing in the bush with my wife. She fell five times. 1 fell once. Sunday, off again skiing with a gang. My wife fell four times. I fell once, Followd this with an apres-ski party with old friends. Dandy lire going. Wizard mulled wine. Massive injections of hot honk -made soup and home - baked b,cad. And home to bed at t.en o'clock with a tremendous sense of physical and moral rectitude. . • I've been feeling good about winter ever since and all depression is gone. Why don't you try it? You don't have to begin with a poker game out in the wilds, Especially if you happen to be an 80 -year-old lady, But do something. Kick the cat. Give your grumpy old husband a goose. First thing you know they'll both be chasing you around the house, and your winter blues will vanish. Are You Planning A WEDDING This Spring?

The service, the theme of which BY REV. CECIL WITTICH • The story is told of a man who wanted to make certain he had C r u s a d e eyesight throughout the years of his life, He decided to cover one of his eyes with a patch in order to protect and preserve it. After a couple of -- years, the doctor examined the eye and found the sight almost gone • because of not being used. - comm I t t e e In life, abilities and possessions not used are lost. Jesus told the parable of a master who gave money to each of his three servants to be used as he would use it. Sometime later the master called together the three servants to give an account of house Jesus told the parable of a master who gave money to each of his three servants to be used as he would have used it. Sometime later the master called together the three servants to give an account of how they had used the money. The first two had invested the money and reaped a profit. The master rewarded them by giving them more responsibility and by bringing them into the joy of life with him. The third servant was afraid to use his money and buried it in the ground, The master was displeased with him. He took the money from him and fired him. The servant lost what he tried to save and the others saved what they used. (Matthew 25:14.30). The same principle holds true in terms of life. Jesus also taught, "Whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (Matthew 16:25) And Jesus in his own life demonstrated the truth of what he taught when he died on the cross and was raised again. In reference to his death and resurrection he said, "Unless a grain of wheat falls into,the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit," (John 12:24) The kind of, receiving that comes through giving and using is not according to our thinking and planning. The servants in our parable were acting in relation to their matster who represents God. The person who saves his life throug losing it does so as he loses it for the sake of Christ. The life that Jesus gave on the cross was in obedience to the will of God. The life he received in the resurrection was the work of God, The kind of saving that comes through sharing takes place within our response to God, the Great Giver. He calls youtq enter into the life of faith and blessing. Pro life plans festival At their February meeting the Wingham and Area Pro -Life group, Voice for Life, decided to join Pro•Life groups from across Canada in Ottawa May 5 • 7 for the Festival for Life. These groups will represent and speak up for the millions of Canadians who are concerned for the lives of the unborn and for women with problem pregnancies. Rev. Wesley Ball, Gorrie, will be the guest speaker at the Third Annual Dinner Meeting of Voice for Life to be held on Tuesday, March 29 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Paul's Anglican Church, Wingham. In November, 1976, the Federal Department of Health and Welfare published a six part pamphlet series on Sex Education for widespread use in high schools. Since November 9000 copies have been distributed free of charge to teachers, nurses, and other professionals. Great concern was expressed over the treatment of abortion in pamphlet number four. It is not acceptable for educational use because it suffers from three basic flaws: 1, it contains factual errors; 2. it is based on outdated statistics and literature; 3. it is characterized by 'a pervasive pro -abortion bias, and attempts to manipulate the student using the text into an acceptance of abortion. . Voice for Life is voicing its objection to this pamphlet. 24 at Bible study Twenty four ladies met on March 8 in the United Church for the weekly Prayer and Bible Study. The group continued to study the life of Abraham. When this study is concluded in about two weeks time, the group will commence a study on the life of Moses. plans Last Thursday the Centennial Crusade Committee held a meeting in the Blyth United Church. Mr. Andy de Vries led a devotional on Matthew 8:18.27 and Mark 4:1.9. It is easy to become a Christian but it takes hard work and much prayer to stay one. Mr. Fred Howson will lead this week's devotional. Enthusiasm for the Crusade is catching on. There were 16 people present at the meeting. Mr. Bill Kolkman volunteered to take care of ushering during the Crusade and the "Pathfind- ers" will provide special music on April 25. Mr. R. Madill reported an income of $145 for the__ Crusade. A prayer circle closed the meeting since without God's help our planning is useless. The next meeting will be held tonight, March 10 at 8 o'clock in the United Church.

Then read on ---This will interest you! Your bush may be more valuable than you think, particularly If it contains species such as hard maple, white ash, basswood, and black cherry. You have two choices with your woodlot: fa] You can do nothing and let it grow on its own, Or fbi You can care for it like you do any other farm crop. You are well aware of what would happen in a vegetable garden if it were planted and then ignored until harvest time. The same is true of your woodlot •• trees respond to proper care just as vegetables respond to proper cultural practices. Proper woodlot management is not difficult, and it can often double or triple the growth rate of the trees to produce higher profits for you. Just as you weed and thin a vegetable garden, the low -value, crooked, diseased and overcrowded trees in your woodlot need to be eliminated to provide more moisture, sunlight and nutrients for the high-value "crop" trees. To help you make the most of your hardwood bush, the Ministry of Natural Resources offers two free services to woodlot owners: fa] Woodlot Inspection and Advisory Service. At your request and at no cost to you, woodlot management specialists will inspect your woodlot, assess its present condition and advise on future management. lb] Woodlot improvement Service. If your woodlot is five acres or more in size and is in need of improvement work to eliminate low -value, nonproductive trees, the Ministry can do the necessary work for you at no cost to you. The low -value trees maybe utilized by the owner for firewood. Sound interesting? Call or write today for more details.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 9, 1977 • County road budget shows surplus despite snow Despite heavy snowfall even in the early part of this winter the Huron County Road Department has managed to show a surplus of $134,467 on its 1976 budget. According to County Engineer Jim Britnell this surplus is approximately $63,000 higher than had been predicted in October. He said it can be attributed to several unusual factors in 1976. One reason was the late approval by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of an additional $20,000 of subsidy for municipal drain assessments, a second reason was the unbudgeted receipts of $28,000 from Armco to cover the repairs to the Saltford bin wall that the department had carried cut and paid for several years ago. A third reason was what Mr. Britnell called a "surprisingly low bid" on our hot mix paving on County Road Number 12. The surplus is to be transferred to the 1977 budget. In 1976 the County of Huron spent S1,305,660 on fixed costs for county roads. This sum covered roadside maintenance, hard and gravel surface maintenance, winter control and safety devises as well as maintenances on bridges and culverts, overhead, the purchase and machinery and construction of a sand shed. • Another $740,238 was spent on road construction and paving. The estimated budget for 1977, approved by County Council at last Thursday's meeting, was $2,892,000. An increase of only $60,000 over the estimated budget approved for 1976, The new budget provides $1,074,000 for fixed costs related to roads, $300,000 for overhead and $215,000 for the purchase of new machinery. $40,000 has been set aside of culvert construction, and $880,000 for road construction and paving. Under that last item a section of Road 30 from Clifford west for 2,5 miles will be built a four mile section of Road one south from Carlow will be constructed as well as paving a four mile section of Road eight betw,een Clinton and Summerhill and 'a 9.3 mile portion of Road six between Highway four and Kirkton. Huron County's 20 per cent share of constructing a boundary bridge between Grey and Elma Townships will come to $85,000. , Of the total $2,892,000 bill, the Ministry of Transport and Communication will contribute $1,570,000 through its alloc- ations, Huron County will have to raise $1,123,000 but has a surplus of $134,000 from last year to make up the remainder of its share of $1,257,000, The budget, Road Committee Chairman Robert Lyons noted in his submission to council, is highly dependent on several things over which we have no control. How much snow falls and how much competition we have in our tender calls. "If the balance of the winter is as severe as the past three months and if the prices bid for paving and gravel exceed our costs estimates we willt as in the past, reduce the total cost by reducing the length of some projects or by deleting some budgeted item." In other business the road committee announced the granting of a number of tenders, Harvey Krotz Motors Limited of Listowel, the lowest of five tenders for two tandem axle dump trucks complete with box, hoist, snow plow and wing will supply such at a cost of $83,094. Valley Blades Limited will be paid $2,407 each for two underbody snow plows for mounting on County sanders, The Road Department will purchase a motor grader from Dominion Road Machinery Limited for $57,200 and will buy 1500 cedar fence posts from Mervyn Rawn for $3,00 each, Centralia Farmers Supply Limited was given a contract valued at $13,725 to provide steel fence posts, wire, tie wire and staples. East Wawanosh lets tender Wingham company East Wawanosh township council prepared for spring at its regular meeting March 2 by letting the gravel tender for the year. Morris Council hires new grader op4rator Brian Mitchler was hired by Morris township council as grader operator when council held a special meeting on March 1. Some 18 applications were received for the position. He will be hired on six month probationary period at a rate of $4 per year. At the same meeting it was approved to pay Adam Smith $1.25 for each dog counted. At the regular meeting on Feb. 25, council agreed to advertise for tenders for 22,000 cubic yards of crushed gravel. The tender for the hay on the dump property will be let for a period of three years. Supplementary by-laws for 565,000 for new road equipment were approved. The statement of proposed road expenditures for $195,850 was approved with a subsidy of $117,500. A grant of $50 was approved to the Huron Plowmen's Association. Andy McBride of Maitland Engineering services was present to discuss the Workman, Kind, Rintould and Thomas drains. The Maitland Valley Conservation Author- ity levy of $3,017.36 was approved. Two tenders were received from Radford Construction, Blyth for $1,62 per cublic yard and from J. Kerr Ltd., Wingham for $1.59. The contract for 20,000 cubic years was let to J. Kerr Ltd. In other business building permits were issued to James Hunter, block silo; Wilfred Plunkett, driving shed; G. R. Jaretzke, hog barn and John E. Vincent, log cabin. The drain petition from N. Bonnett, B. Daer, J. Gear, R. Walker and E. Cook was accepted subject to the approval of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority and Ministry of Natural Resources. A grant of $50 was given to the Huron Plowmen's Association. The regignation of John Gaunt as Tile Drain Inspector due to health problems was accepted with regret. Reeve Hallahan reportea on the Association of Rural Municipalities Convention , which he attended in Toronto. School Budget Continued from pg. l should have known that. He said any trustees wanting information or material used to make budget decisions had only to ask for it and it would have been given them, The budget was presented at Monday's meeting and required the board's approval or a penalty would have been imposed by the ministry of education. Mr. Dunlop said the ministry placed a penalty on the board's grants if the budget wasn't submitted by March 15. Huron Federation of Agriculture may have to cut back Some of the activities and services of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture will have to be curtailed unless more generous. grants come in form all townships in the county, HFA members learned Thursday night at their meeting in Hensall. Maurice Bean of Auburn, presented the 1977 budget based on grants received from town- ships last year and said more money would be required to pay increased expenses, including postage, in 1977. Mr. Bean said only six townships have given grants to the Federation so far this year. Last year, all but three townships, Ashfield, which has a township Federation which raises money, and Hay and West Wawanosh gave grants otr the Federation. If a township doesn't grant a "Reasonable amount of money" to the county Federation, the HFA ways and means committee has suggested that the Federation starts a petition in that township to go back to a levy system, Under provincial legislation the rural municipalites ar authorized to levy up to half a mill to the Federation, with portion of the money going to the township Federation, if it is active, and the rest to the county Federation of Agriculture, Mr. Bean explained. Mr. Bean estimated that only two of Huron's townships send a levy, rather than a grant to the Federation. The 535 that each Individual Service Member of the Federa= tion pays each year goes to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the county Federation is dependent on grants from the townships for income, the trea- surer said. A member of the county - Federation executive and a local federation member have been visiting each township council, requesting a grant increase. Hullett council, for example, gave the Federation $1000 for 1977, compared to'1500 last year with 5700 going to the county Federation and $300 earmarked for the Hullett Township Fedora. tion of Agriculture. Last year the who grant went to the county level because the local Federation didn't need it. Mr. Bean said the levy system leaves it up to the township to decide what portion of the half a mill maximum they'll give to the Federation. Individual ratepay. ers who don't want to pay the levy to the HFA can have their levy struck off by notifying the local clerk each year in writing. But the levy sytem means extra work for the township clerk's and that cost is deducted from the money that the Federation receives, Getting fit is something you can do no mater if you're or standing still.pg ‘:1 paancipacrivn 0 The Canadian movement for personal fitness.

Money is available from the province for innovations that exceed the Ontario Building Code. However, builders, architects and even those in charge of the Ministry of Culture and Recreation office at Hanover were unaware of its existence. When the Brussels arena board inquired at Queen's Park, they were told theirs was only the second application in the province. To qualify for such a grant, the building must be accessible to wheelchairs at the ground level. Washroom facilities for the handicapped and doors wide enough for the passage of a wheelchair must be provided on both levels. In addition, a heated viewing area must be available. The ALPHA members would also like to bring to the public's attention the convenience of a chair placed in strategic areas in stores for handicapped or elderly shoppers.

THE WONDERFUL FLIGHT TO THE MUSHROOM PLANET by ELEANOR CAMERON David Topman was always dreaming of cruising about the solar system in a spaceship and then he read an advertisement in the paper, that seemed to be just for him. Immediately he enlisted the help of his friend, Chuck Masterson to help build a spaceship and they planned to have it completed in three days. When it was finished they took it to Mr. Tyco Bass, the mushroom grower who had placed the ad in the paper. He had promised the builders of the winning spaceship a wonderful adventure and this story tells of the experiences of wu ooyr, a real tact and fiction tale.

B J Fabrics 523-9675 o' • on of the year last month, more 'men on the street' know about "Roots" and more stir has been caused by its dramatic impact than almost any other show in television history. "Roots" was sold in 1967 to Doubleday for $5,000. It was for the author the end of a project and the fulfilmen of a promise to himself, Never could he have imagined the impact ;it would have on the world. The book became a bestseller and was made into a hit television series produced by David Wolper and shown on the ABC network in the U.S. Eight episodes drew more than 130 million viewers, one episode alone 80 million. in turn, the TV success was purchased by Global and is being shown in Ontario every Sunday evening at 9. It began the first week in February and is spell•bindine audiences who have become rather choosy about what they view now. As a result of the TV hit, Haley's book sales have reached the three-quarter of a million mark. "Roots" is the story of the American blacks and the struggle that gave them freedom. For all families, Haley's included, it is a painful thing to remember and is seldom talked about. It is a part of life they want to. forget, The degradation and humiliation of slave life is something they would rather their children would not know about and some American blacks are hurt and angered by "Roots". For us it is only disbelief that such a thing could have happened. "Roots" was filmed in Georgia, In addition to his book and television series, Haley has yet another way of bringing "Roots" to life. He is an excellent and capable public speaker who is conducting lectures on his family's history and the reasons behind his special project. Sure to be much remembered and praised, sure to. win every major television award, "Roots" is must viewing for everyone. It is easy for us to look at the slave auctions of "Roots" and say; "We're glad it never happened here". Don't be too sure! Right now a Fredericton theatrical group called Theatre New Brunswick is presenting a play entitled "The Dollar Woman", a true story of what happened in parts of New Brunswick in 1898. That was the date of the last 'pauper auction' in that province. The pauper auction was when the parish put the paupers up for sale. The. lowest bidder would take the person for a year and be paid what he bid by the parish for the keep of the pauper. The play was written by TNB's manager, Walter Learning, and Canadian writer and poet Alden Nowlan. It is now touring New Brunswick cities. So perhaps this is just one more way of saying that 'people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones'. ri Pass the word along!
