Come home for the Blyth Centennial ' July 30 - August 1, 1977 Leaders of various farm organizations in Huron County and local members of parliament met at the annual members of parliament dinner by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture on Saturday. Among those attending were Bill Hern, 4•H leaders association, Gordon Hill, past president of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and Maurice Hallan, of the 4-H —photo by John Miner. leaders. Stop campaign to save farmland, farmer argues Trying to save farm land is a "bunch of B.S." the Huron -Perth Shorthorn Club told local members of parliament Saturday. "We are fed up withal! this B.S. that we should save farm land, we feel it should be sold to the highest bidder", Frank Falconer, representative of the club said. "1 feel myself there is too much land" he told Bob McKinley, Huron MP; Murray Gaunt, Huron -Bruce MPP, and Jack Riddell, Huron -Middlesex MPP. The Shorthorn club's presentation was part of an afternoon of briefs by the Huron. -- County Federation of Agriculture and affiliated commodity groups to local members of parliament at Clinton. Mr. Falconer said farmers should not have to carry the burden of saving farm land when urban people aren't even concerned. "Town people simply don't care for us," he said. "They won't even slow down to let us cross the road." MPP Jack Riddell disagreed, saying it was important to keep a viable farm industry in Canada. He said if farm land wasn't protected, Canada could find herself dependent on other countries for food imports. "Surely we do not want to find ourselves at the mercy of countries that can produce food cheaper than we can now. We could soon find ourselves paying a lot more." The proposed reform of property taxation also came under fire at the meeting by various commodity groups. Bert Elliot of the Huron County Cream Producers said "land should be taxed for education, but people should pay for services to people". "If the government paid all land taxes, we would lose control of our land, and would soon be told what to grow, and where to grow it," he said. MPP Murray Gaunt said the Blair Commission's recommendation that the government pay 90 per cent of the land tax and the farmer pay 10 per cent "is no better than the original proposal." "I don't think the Blair Commission has resolved it at all. The Federation and members have to be pressing from now on to make sure the government doesn't come in with it. 1 think we should oppose it right down the line,' he said. A brief by the Federation of Agriculture supported the Cream Producers' presenta- tion. The Federation brief, presented by Maurice Bean, pointed out the Snowtno• bilers Association had already suggested they should be given access to farm land for recreation purposes as the public will be paying the taxes. "This suggestion alone verifies our stand that farmers would lose control of their property," he said. Other briefs, many • of which were discussed at Federation meetings through- out the year, included a brief on pollutants from Glen Miller, OFA director, a review of the activities of the Huron County 4-H Club leaders, presented by association president Bob Hern, a brief of trade and tariffs presented by HFA director Gerry Fortune and a report from the Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association, calling for more research funding, presented by president Stan Mcllwain. Doug Trcwartha, secretary -treasurer of the Huron County Milk Committee, gave a summary of recommendations of the Dairy Farmers of Canada on a national dairy policy. Farm Income Stabilization pay- ments available to farmers who lose money . should "compare favourably with the Unemployment Insurance payments. to hourly and salaried workers," Bev Brown, of the HFA executive told the members of parliament in her brief on the farm income stabilization plan. A brief presented -by Elmer Harding, president of the Huron County Pork Producers, asked for more consultation on code of practise legislation, among other things. The Huron Federation's land use policy was outlined in a brief presented by Merle Gunby, HFA director. Other members of the HFA's land use and tariff policy committee are Gordon Blanchard, Charlie Thomas George Underwood, Douglas Cameron and John Oke. Numbers at planning workshop remain small The second in a series of four planning workshops to gather information for the formation of the secondary land use plan for the village of Blyth drew a disappointing audience of 20 persons to Memorial Hall Monday night. The size of the audience was small and the reluctance of the audience to come to concensus of opinion on what it wanted to see in the future for the village made it a frustrating evening for members of village council and county planner Roman Dzus. The meeting went on until 11;30 p.m. without any firm decisions on the part of the. audience. The general trend of comments seemed to be that sewers were necessary for the village, that continued moderate growth should be a goal and that all in all, things aren't too bad just as they are. One outspoken member of the audience was Mason Bailey, Blyth real estate broker and businessman. Mr. Bailey interjected several times to argue against any kind of planning which is so restrictive as to prohibit inexpensive growth. He told of developers in Clinton who purchased land for $1000 per lot, but because of red tape and delays in zoning had to wait three years and now had to have S9000 a lot just to break even. He also warned that land use planning can sometimes be manip- ulated by monopolists to bring best returns to those who have land and are in a position to make a big profit if it is zoned one way or another. Mr. Bailey warned that there is a lot of competition in Huron county for what growth there is and the Blyth plan has to allow the village to remain competitive. The plan must also allow for competition within the village he said. The meeting was specifically to discuss planning for commercial and industrial uses in the village. The meeting opened with an initial question of whether or not the downtown retail outlets provided enough services. Though reaction was slow at first eventually such additions as a liquor store, a plumber's shop, a drug store, dentists, optician, flower shop and children's clothing shop were all suggested. Mr. Dzus pointed out that for the community to support these services it would be important to have some growth and asked if people wanted growth or were happy the way things were. Fred Howson said the village should prepare for moderate growth, just as fast or faster than has been happening in the past few years. Jim Howson said that while growth is to be sought, the community does not want to spoil what it has now with the kind of rapid growth that has hurt some communities. He suggested that a five per cent growth rate per year would be a good goal. Mrs. Gail Falconer said the community either had to look for some growth or it would decay. Councillor Albert Wasson suggested that most people are living in Blyth . because they like the kind of community it is and they wouldn't want to see it grow like Port Elgin, for instance. Mr. Dzus asked if, then, the community would be prepared to back its council in the future if it should decide the village was not suited for a large industry'that might want tc locate here. Several people suggested that industry should be encouraged if it was small enough to fit into the community without major disruption. The same policy should be looked at for residential developments, it was suggested. One listener suggested that one of the prime needs of the village was some sort of tourist accomodation. Mr. Dzus agreed that perhaps the village isn't capitalizing enough on the heavy tourist traffic on Highway 4, the thousands of people attracted by the Blyth Summer Festival and by the two wool and leather mills. He said perhaps the businesses should capitalize more on these attractions. In the discussion of industrial expantion and the need for jobs, Mr. Bailey pointed out that in his experience itis often a lack of jobs for the wives of people moving into the area that is the problem, not jobs for the men. Discussion centred for a time around whether there was really any chance of Blyth attracting industry. Mr. Dzus pointed out that if you don't try anything you know for sure that nothing will happen. If you try, at least you have a chance to attract industry, he said. Firemen hampered by bad roads Blyth firemen had to battle weather and road conditions as well as fire when they were called to the farm of Louis Kumfrey, R. R. 4, Brussels early Monday morning. When firemen answered the alarm at 6:45 a.m. they found a thick blanket of fog hanging over this part of the country. As they raced to the fire they also found that many of the concession roads had been washed out or flooded and they had to make several detours. By the time they and the Brussels fire department reached the scene the dairy barn which was on fire was past saving. Smaller fires on a driving shed and the house were extinguished. Some 35 dairy cows, two horses and a quantity of hay and grain were lost. Chief Irvin Bowes estimated Toss would be in excess of $35,000. Cause of the fire is unknown. Subscriptions going up Subscription rates to the Blyth Standard will increase by one dollar to $9.00 per year in Canada and $11.00 to the U.S. effective April 1. Publisher Keith Roulston in announcing the changes said that costs of production including the cost of newsprint, printing and labour costs have all risen sharply since the lat price increase two years ago. "With newspapers in other neighbour- ing towns charging as much as $12. per year it was impossible for The Standard with its small circulation to get along with the old rate any longer," he said. The early announcement of the rate increase was made to allow those who are in arrears on their subscriptions to pay them at the old rate. After April 1, all subscriptions, including those past due, will be charged at the new rate. Mr. Roulston said that because of the continued rise in costs, the newspaper is unable to allow people to renew their papers for several years in advance at the old rate. Renewals at the old rate will only be allowed for those whose subscriptions expire in April 1977 or prior to that date. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 16, 1977. Library book losses cost Board $20,000 The Huron County Board of Education was a $20,000 victim of a combination of poor memories and quick hands in 1975-1976 when library books of that value were found missing from five secondary school libraries in the county, Board vice chairman Marion Zinn said at the board meeting last week that over $20,000 worth of books were reported missing and made a plea to parents of students to check around the house to see if any books are there. The vice chairman broke the losses down to the five secondary schools in Huron, Central Huron in Clinton had the biggest losses of the year with $6,240 worth of books missing. F.E. Madill in Wingham is missing $5,482, South Huron in Exeter reported $5,264 worth missing, Goderich District Collegiate Institute is missing $2,908 worth and Sea - forth High School is missing $1,408 worth. F.E. Madill Secondary was used as an example by Mrs, Zinn in pointing out to the board that at the current rate of loss no new books can be put in the libraries. She said the Wingham school suffered $5,482 in lost books and according to the school's pupil enrolment for 1977-78 the school will receive $5,100 for new library books. "Some students are under the impression that the board has lots of money so what's the differ- ence, but actually it is the taxpayer of this county who is being robbed," she said, The vice chairman spoke both as a trustee and as a member of the budget committee of the board, She urged parents to look through their houses to see if there are any books around that are marked as property of the board. She said parents of students that were enrolled in the system up to eight years ago should join the search and if any books are turned up the parents are asked to leave the books in a bag at the nearest school bus . depot to be picked up and returned to the school or return them themselves, She added that no fine would be levied for any book returned and no questions would be asked, She offered an alternative to the board to prevent the losses. She said that the board may have to install electric scanners in the libraries to ensure librarians know who is leaving with a book. She said the scanners cost from • $6,000 to $8,000 each, which in - the long run would save money at present loss rates but would not be needed if parents and students would cooperate with the board, Walton 8th and 16th unit meets The March meeting of the 8th and 16th Unit of Duff's United Church was held on Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Jim Fritz. Mrs. Gerald Smith opened the meeting with a poem, 'Sprinkle of Sunshine'. Hymn, 388, '0 Master let me Walk with Thee' was sung. Mrs. Alvin McDonald read the scripture from Lamentations, Chapt. 23, verses 24-33 and offered prayer. Mrs. G. Smith used as her Topic an article, 'March Winds and Sunshine', using the comparison to illustrate the pain that with all the storms of life if we ask God to be our help and guide he will see us safely through. Hymn 148, 'Breathe on me, Breath of God' was sung. Mrs. A. McDonald read a very moving essay, 'What the C.N.I.B. means to me' written by Mrs. Schildroth from near Port Elgin who was blind when she was 40 years of age. Collection was received and dedicated, Mrs. Smith closed this part with prayer. Mrs, Rae Houston presided for the business, Minutes were read by Mrs, Don McDonald and 10 members answered the roll call. Programs for the coming year were handed out by Mrs. Houston, Coming events were announced, There was a discussion on price for tickets for ham supper on June 8. It was moved to leave as last year. Adults $3; children $1.50. The meeting was closed with prayer followed by Mrs. Houston and the hostess serving lunch. - BUSINESS DIRECTORY ELLIOTT REAL ESTATE AGENCY Gordon Elliot, Broker R.

Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan has awarded $577,350 grant to the University of Guelph for the establishment and operation of an outreach program in rural deve- lopment. Indirectly the County of Huron will benefit from that grant over the next three to six years. Under provisions of the grant, the Foundation will provide funds over a four year period to assist in the establishment of an innova- tive rural development program. During the fourth year, the university will negotiate for funding of the second phase of the program, which will reflect declining Kellogg Foundation support and increased' financial committment by local agencies, The proposed program, which will focus on development at the local community level, reflects expansion of the university's base of activities in rural development. This expansion is an important step in helping rural people to examine a broad range of community goals, problems and. activities as well as mobilize their resources more effectively, and activities as well as mobilize their resources more effectively. The program is limited to communities under 50,000 with emphasis on centres under O.P.P. report During the week of March 7 to 13, officers at Wingham detach- ment of the O.P.P. conducted 25 investigations. Eleven charges were laid under the Highway Traffic Act with 15 warnings issued. Six charges were laid under the Liquor Licence Act, During the week, there were six motor vehicle collisions which caused an estimated $8050 in property damage and injuries to five persons. • On Tuesday, March 8 Rodney E. Hall of Clifford and Paul C. Veenhof of RR 1, Clifford received injuries as a result of a two car collision on Sideroad 25-26, north of County Road 30, Howick Township. On Saturday, March 11 Grant E. Perks' of Wingham received injuries as a result of a single car accident on Highway 4 at Huron Road 16. On Sunday, March 13 Raymond L. Breckenridge was injured as a result of a single car accident on Con. 1-2, east of Sideroad 15-16, Morris Township. 5 tables at euchre There were five tables of Euchre in play on Monday night.

Euchre will be played next Monday night at 8 p.m. Everyone welcome. Blyth news Mr. and Mrs, Jim Scott Sr. visited last week with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Scott Jr, of Goderich. Mr, and Mrs, Lloyd Walden were London visitors on Wednesday with Mr. and Mrs, Ross Wilson and also attended the Ice Capades. Mr. Harvey McDowell is a patient in St. Joseph's Hospital in London. Mrs. Arnold Cook is a patient in Victoria Hospital, London. We wish them both a speedy recovery. 25,.000, Specific programs will depend on local response, but could range from ecology to employment, health services to housing, culture to credit, The' faculty of Agriculture, Biological Sciences, Veterinary Medicine, Arts,, Social Sciences, Family and Consumer Studies and Physical Sciences will event- ually become involved in the program, Initially the program will focus on two pilot counties reasonably close to Guelph. Huron has been elected to represent a traditional rural county outside the sphere of influence of a metropolitan centre. The second county will represent a rural county on the rural -urban fringe, undergoing rapid urbanization. No county has yet been selected for that side of the program. As the program matures it may be expanded to other geographic areas. Because the specific, process - oriented objects of the outreach program will be selected by the participating communities, • the university says the slated objec- tives arc very general in scope. The program will help rural people look at their communities and assist them in the develop- ment of themselves and their communities, provide a frame- work for integrated development, help communities obtain inform- ation, train leadership and develop the human resources, and provide better communic- ations between local people, universities, and the public agencies interested in rural needs. University officials note that in Ontario, rural action programs tend to focus on single aspects of development, such as housing, taxation recreation, agriculture, or small business. They hope the project will help the existing framework of agencies and governments to approach the total group of problems in an integrated fashion. In the period between January and July this year the operating guidelines for Huron set certain objectives, An attempt will be made to meet some of the needs of the intermediate, county wide sector, In Hay or Stanley Township the opportunity to observe, and possibly contribute to, the secon- dary planning process is to be examined. The provision of resources at meetings (in the form of information on the subject matter) and between meetings (in attempting to meet a select number of needs identified at the weekly meetings) has been suggested. The project also hopes to contribute, where possible, to improving the effectiveness of the secondary planning process, es- pecially in the areas of public participation, serving some needs not catered for directly in the planning process, and delivery and quality of information provis- ion for rural participants in the second planning process work- shops, In any municipality in Huron, project organizers will examine the possibility of meeting a select number of needs identified by local people. They will also hold session with the County Planners and others deemed appropriate to determine the most suitable public particip- ation vehicle for the outreach program in the rural community which is to be the focus of the program's activity in the coming years. The idea of broadening the secondary planning process in Turnberry Township is to be considered as a strong option. On their memorandum of understanding with Huron Count- y the objectives are set out as follows: "To mount a rural development program in Huron County by making available the many and varied resources of the University of Guelph to the rural citizens of Huron County, the project to be conducted in concert with the citizens, and with existing public and private agencies." "To achieve, through the involvement of agencies and rural citizens in Huron County, know - Air Compressors Put air power to work for you with 'one of four portable John Deere Air Compressors.

"To provide expanded oppor- tunities for education in the form of information, training, action and support in response to `commonly felt needs, interests and concern in Huron County residents at the general county level and at the selected local 'community' level." Huron County councillors voted to give the project their support when they met for their February meeting two weeks ago. The county planning board is to act as the liason agency between the council and the University team. Annual progress reports are to be submitted to council and the agreement approved at the February meeting provides that the County or the University may withdraw from the project if differences are encountered which cannot be resolved by adjustment of dialogue. Huron County was chosen because it is in an area already in contact with the University of Guelph and one which is advanced in its planning process.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/MARCH 16, 1977. Planning workshop participation appalling After two of the four planning workshop meetings to help decide the future direction of planning in Blyth, the reaction of the Blyth citizenry can only be described as appalling apathy, Monday night's meeting attracted about 20 people in the audience, about three more than last week, Twenty people out of nearly 900. Only 20 people who seem to have any interest in the future of their community. Particularly appalling was the participation of the business community on Monday night's session. True, nearly half those present were businessmen, but when one considers the size of the business community in Blyth and the stake that businessmen have in the future of the community, it was a very disappointing turnout. That's nothing new, of course. There are some people in the Blyth business community who are active and a real asset to their community. Unfortunately there are many others in the business community who can look forward no farther than Saturday night when they can lock up shop and go home. given this kind of attitude, there is really no need to have planning work3hops at all: there simply won't be any growth to plan. Blyth has established a reputation as a community with drive; with spirit and purpose. One would certainly never know it from the reaction to these workshops. How the county planning department can come up with a sensible plan from the small sampling of reaction planners have been able to get at these meetings is a mystery. Of course if the plan isn't a good one, then the whole community will be up in arms. Until then, they'd just as soon stay home and watch Rhoda. Leave Maggie alone Of all the aspects of the coverage of current events in our newspapers and on television and radio, the most unsavory is the gossip columns. The gossip mongers are something relatively new in Canada. Whole newspapers in the U.S. and Europe are given over to the latest real or imagined tidbits of gossip about celebrities. One reason this has not been the case in Canada of course, is that we haven't had the kind of international celebrities. Another is the basic belief in the right to privacy by the vast majority of Canadians. But last week, one of our truly international celebrities Margaret Trudeau made the front pages of papers around the world when hints were made that she had run off to New York with the rock band The Rolling Stones. She was in Toronto to see their concert. She went to New York. They went to New York. So naturally, they went together. The week went on with more and more suggestive articles. Every time one story was deflated another would be hatched. She was made to seem at the very least, a little insane. If there was a question of sanity, however, it would seem to be on the part of the press who gave over huge amounts of time and space for this kind of unfounded malicious gossip. Surely if our press wants us to accept its credibility, it has to show us it deserves it. Getting our money's worth The people of Huron County are not exactly getting their money's worth from the Board of Education's decision last week to not only allow Wingham trustee Jack Alexander to sit on the board after missing several meetings, but to pay him for missed meetings as well. It seems like a real case of having your cake and eating it too to be able to take a southern vacation, miss your duties on• the school board and still get paid. Yet that is just what the board has done for Mr. Alexander and has thus set a precident for other trustees in years to come. It would be one thing if this was a special case, but Mr. Alexander has been doing this nearly every year since he joined the board. The regulations call for trustees to be unseated if they miss more than two consecutive meetings which Mr. Alexander does nearly every winter. The excuse used by the board that the people of Wingham seem to be happy enough with this policy since they keep electing the man doesn't hold water because he is the servant of all of.— Huron county, not just the Wingham area. The School board decision really just reaffirms the feeling of many taxpayers that there really isn't much of importance going on at the board meetings anyway, so why not let a guy have a good holiday with pay. Perhaps it's a good idea. Maybe next winter the whole school board could meet in Miami Beach and not only get paid for it, but get mileage payments to Florida too. They're all wet Twice Iasi weekend a helicopter from thc U.S. Coast Guard base in Michigan had to make rescue flights to the Ldndon area to save people from the flooded Thames River, In each case the emergency was caused by adventurers who wanted to travel on the river in canoes at the peak of the flood. On the second occasion on Sunday, the helicopter had to save several firemen who had fallen into the cold water while attempting to save the canoeist who caused the whole mess. The operation risked several lives and cost the taxpayers a good deal of money. It was in London this time but we've had our own cases closer to home where firemen have had to risk their necks to rescue people from places they should never ha'e been in the first place. What is the solution? Obviously you can't legislate common sense to people foolish enough to do such foolhardy 'things. Obviously you can't leave them out there to perish. Yet, at the same time, it is unfair to have firemen and others risking their lives because of the foolishness of others. Perhaps there is some way of charging such people for the costs of rescue operations mounted because of foolhardy behavior. Perhaps there is some other answer, Whatever that may be, something has to be done to stopthis ridiculous situation that takes s place very spring. Well, maybe we could call it the Grand Canyon and attract tourists BY KEITH ROULSTON I don't know about you but I find all this good weather a little hard to believe, I would like to•relax and enjoy it but somehow I fell a little distrustful of the whole situation: kind of like a guy telling you you've won a million dollar lottery but you expect any minute to find out its all a horrible hoax. We cynics can be excused if it all seems a little too good to be true. Who would have believed only a month ago when we were wondering if it was ever going to stop snowing, that our record snowdrifts would be pretty well gone by mid-March. After the horrible summer, fall and winter, some of us were doubting that spring would be coming at all. And suddenly we've got this: day after day of beautiful spring weather when, wonder of wond- ers, the temperature is actually above normal instead of below. The cynic in me says that it ain't over yet. That old bit about March going out like a lion is still too much innmy mind. I remember too the big April blizzard we had a couple of years back. Somehow, 1 keep telling myself, nature's just softening us up for the big knock -out punch, At the same time, I'd almost look forward to a little nasty weather because the memories of last year are all to vivid. Last year,' you 11 recall, call all the Y bad weather of winter melted in a hot April sun that saw temperatures in the 90's for Easter weekend. Farmers had their crops in early. But that turned out to be about the only summer we had, Shortly after the grain was up in a lot of fids we had snow again, and we shivered all summer. long. We had one good week of weather in September then had horrible weather right up until mid-Febru- ary. Hard to enjoy it when it's too :good to last thought we could have our early spring and a_good summer too, I'd be enjoying this weather a lot better. Meanwhile, there's no sense being glum about it. 1 guess you just live a day at a time and hope somehow that we aren't going to pay dearly for these few days of pleasure. Out at Muddy Lane Manor, the Roulstons' little farm, the signs of spring are certainly well in evidence. The lady of the house saw some robins the other day. The red -wing blackbirds make the back yard sound like a convention of piccolo players, The tom cat is wandering for days at a time. The basement is ankle deep in water. The kids, knee-deep in mud. There was two feet of water running over thc lane all weekend long during the flood. The concession road resembles a battlefield full of bomb craters and the car is ready for a new axle any day now from the jars it's taken lately. But at least there's been the pleasure of driving (or should that be floating) right to the door of the house these days instead of walking a half -mile because the lane's filled with snowdrifts again. 1 find myself catching the spring bug even though 1 try not to. The first little patch of black garden earth showed up the other day from under the 10 feet of snow that covered it most of the winter and 1 found myself walking over it (sinking to my boot -tops at every step) to figure where we'd plant what this summer. 1 see the neighbours with their sap barrels out and 1 get the urge to tap the few scrawny maples around the yard. I begin to look at the little odd jobs that should be done around the place like levelling the lawn. Then 1 begin to look at the bigger jobs, like all the paint that has to be scraped off and reapplied, the porch that needs fixing, the new eavestroughing, the new roof on the back porch, the...Lord, looking at what's ahead this spring and summer, 1 almost wish it was winter again. Letter to the editor Dear Co•Publishers: r May I make a correction? In your March 9 issue, under the 35 years ago column, your report states that the Bird and Nature Club had been organized the previous fall by Dr. Oakes. It was Dr, Arnold Vokes, who organized the Club. He was the Blyth doctor at that time. We were members during the "lifetime" of the club; and enjoyed the meetings very much, Dr. Oakes was practising in Clinton at that time. With good wishes to you both. [Miss] A.C.

Like most of my friends, I wasn't trying to be a "Super -Stud" or "Casanova," as you may seem to think. We were normal young guys who had "that old feeling" and needed to do something about it, My problem wasn't findingwilling partners. It was the conflict between my physical needs and my religious training. Every three or four days I had to get myself a girl -- and did, even though I had a few close calls with VD, pregnancy, and one near -miss on a statutory rape charge. On Sunday I'd go to confession, get squared away and start again •• that same night, But 1 remained true to my master plan which was to stay single until 1 reached age 40, By then once or twice a month was plenty. My wife, who was younger than 1, complained about my low sex drive, but 1 told her, "Sorry about that. 1 did my playing earlier," Now, at 65, 1 don't need or want ANY sex. So you're wrong, Ann. Every male had just so many hours of sex play in him and some use up their allotment early. I am, Yours Truly --Exhibit A DEAR A: Sorry, Buddy, the fact that you are burned out at 65 has nothing to do with your hyper -sex drive as a young swinger. You fizzled out for—other reasons. Boozing and obesity are among the most common. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I read something yesterday that made me so furious my blood pressure must have jumped 50 points. I decided instead of just boiling I'd write to Ann Landers. You can do something. 1 can't. The facts are as follows: Fathers who cheat on child support payments and force their families to go on welfare are costing American taxpayers one BILLION dollars a year. According to the Goverment Accounting Office, many fathers earning as much as $20,000 a year pay no child support. Fewer than 50 per cent of absentee fathers pay the full amount of court- ordered support after the first year of separation. After six years, it's less than 20 per cent. Since you're supposed to be a solver of problems, what would you suggest be done about this shameful situation? --Top Blown In Lafayette At 65 he lost the urge DEAR TOP: I recommend stiffer penalties for fathers who can pay child support and don't. That's step No. 1, No. 2: A more diligent search for these "miss- ing" characters and a tenacious follow-up by legal authorities to make sure justice is done, DEAR ANN LANDERS: My husband's Aunt Sarah is his only living relative. She comes to visit twice a year, is no trouble, and I like her lot, Aunt Sarah is in remarkable health for a woman 84, but she frequently falls asleep in the middle of a conversation. I'd like to know the proper way to wake her up. Or should I let her sleep? ••Montreal. DEAR M: Don't let her sleep. She might fall out of the chair and break a hip. Jostle her lightly and offer a cup of coffee. **** Confused about what's right and what's wrong in today's "new morality"? You're not alone, If you want honest, down- to-earth information on you sex questions, read Ann Landers's new booklet, "High School Sex and How To Deal With It -- A Guide For Teens and Their Parents."

Bill SWdey BY BILL SMILEY There's something wrong with the economic set-up of our society. This conclusion was the one I came to after checking over my T4 form the other day. 1 turned white and then red when I saw what everybody is clipping out of my pay cheque. The first, and worst deduction is for income tax. The feds got me for more in taxes then my hard-working father ever made in the two best years of his life put together. Then I started wondering what I get from Ottawa for my thumping contribution. I wasn't exactly impressed when I totted it up. 1 don't get welfare or unemployment insurance or the old age pension or the baby bonus, I get the Trans Canada highway, which 1 use every 12 years, if I can find a spot in the never-ending line of Americans hauling trailers of campers. I get the CBC, which is one of the country's great losers, financially and culturally. 1 get the Mounties, Who needs them? t get protection from nur gallant armed forces, who could probably wrestle Iceland to a draw, althought I wouldn't bet on it. I get the privilege of contributing to those handsome pensions of MPs and civil servants, with their cosy, built - in excalation. I have the privilege of kicking in so that Otto Lang can fly around like Henry Kissinger. I help pick up the tab for those federal -provincial meetings, at the last of which so many of the provincial premiers were hard into the sauce that it wound up in a verbal donnybrook. I also receive the privilege of helping to pay for Skyshop bribes in Quebec, and nuclear bribes in Argentina and Switzerland and Israel and lord knows where else. 1 have the additional pleasure Something wrong with the set up of helping to pay for a wildly proliferating civil service that offers me such inessentials as Manpowers, ads telling me not to smoke or drink to much, and vast quantities of propaganda churned out by the hacks of Bytown on the Rideau. I am permitted to help for the annual deficits of the Post Office, the CNR, the CBC, and practical- ly any other "business" run by the feds. 1n addition, they'll let me kick in to help pay our native Canadians millions of dollars for a lot of moose pasture and tundra the wasn't worth a plugged nickel until someone decided to run a pipeline through it. As I said, somebody has got things backward. The govern- ment offers me all sorts of things I don't want or need, and fails to offer me any of the things I do need. And that's only the beginning. Insurance companies are taking me to the cleaners: fire, life, term, health, automobile. And the only way I can get even is to set fire to the house, smash up the car, contract a disabling disease of die. It doesn't seem fair. 1 paid a chunk into the Canada Pension Plan. The only way I can get it back is to get old. Unemployment Insurance cost me $172 and I've never been out of a job in my life. The union cost me $325, which is probably used for a fend for a strike, in which 1 wil not participate. In addition, they levied me $1,750 toward a pension plan. B) the time I get around to collecting from it, one of two things wil have happended. Either I'll be dead (and I hear there are tit pensions in heaven) or my annua pension will be worth three loaves of bread and a can of beans, wit! inflation.

Then the county takes its cut.

If you are employed and going to have a baby, you're entitled to pregnancy leave. wP N i4iri$+ !d•4 This is what Ontario is doing to make certain you receive it. We have a law in Ontario which permits any pregnant woman, married or not, to take a 17 -week unpaid leave of absence from work to have her baby. This law covers part-time as well as full-time employees, provided that they have been working for the same employer for at least 63 weeks before the expected date of birth. When she returns to work, the new mother is guaranteed the right to her former position or to a comparable position with no loss of seniority or benefits at the same salary. Naturally, pregnancy does not prevent an employee from being dismissed for valid reasons not connected with pregnancy, but pregnancy alone cannot be the cause of dismissal where an employee is eligible for leave. An expectant mother is required to give two weeks' notice in writing of the day she intends to leave. She is entitled to begin her leave any time within 11 weeks before the baby's birth but she must take at least six weeks of her leave afterwards. If the employer wishes the employee to begin her leave before she wantslo do so, the employer must prove that she is unable to perform her normal duties adequately.

Mr. Alexander has been vacationing in Texas and was absent for the January, February and March meetings of the board. At the. January meeting the board reviewed Mr, Alexander's absenteeism and voted to grant .hhn"permission to miss • two meetings and to deduct his pay for those meetings. The move was not necessary according to trustee R.J. Elliott who asked that the board re -open discussion on the subject, rescind their original motion and pass another granting Mr, Alexander permission to be absent from the three meetings. It is the third year in five as a trustee that Alexander vacationed for the two month period. 'Mr. Elliott cited the Education Act which states that a board member who misses three conse- cutive regular board meetings without the board's permission shall vacate his seat and also states .that a board member is granted a leave of absence for two consecutive regular meetings without the board's permission. Another secotion of the act states that the board may deduct a reasonable from the allowance of a member for meetings missed. hooks at the Blyth Library FLASH by Joyce Stranger Here is a novel that might be Auburn W.M.S. meets The March meeting of the Auburn Presbyterian Women's Missionary Society was held last Wednesday evening at the home of the president, Mrs. Wilfred Sanderson.

In it, because Geordie's parents were killed in a car accident, he went to live with his grand- mother, but she had forgotten long ago what young boys liked. As a solace Geordie sought out the companionship of a local sheep farmer who gave him a collie puppy. To please her grandson the old lady learned to cope with Flash. At her sudden death, the kindly farmer took Geordie to live with him, but soon another move was forced upon the boy and he went to live in Manchester. However when he heard that Flash was in trouble for killing sheep, Geordie ran away from there and the adventures that followed had unexpeced effects on the people around him. THE NAVIGATOR by Morris West One morning a small ship left Hawaii with a group of men and women whose aim was to find a single uncharted island in the Polynesian Archipelago. The expedition was led by Gunnar Thorkild who had proclaimed the existence of this island in a scientific paper he had written. The story of their voyage, their discovery and their struggle for surrival as a community makes; this a novel of high adventure. FANCY FREE, by Betty Cavanna Fancy had gone to Peru with her father who was there on an archeological expedition. She had hoped for adventure, but instead she found the members of the group to be eccentric and camp conditions rough and primitive. In this story she had had to rush an injured member of the party to the hospital and now on the' return tirp with night cnmine on. she became oanic- stricken. Through her experien- ces Fancy grew up and learned to accept responsibility. MOONCOIN CASTLE by Brinton Turkle It looked as if Mooncoin Castle was doomed, The old castle had been the home of jackdaws for over a hundred years, but what can birds do against the plans of people. A ghost that haunted the place was equally helpless. Finally there was nothing to do but to seek the aid of Maude Muldoon, the local witch. — Now when old jackdaws, ghosts and witches tangle with new excava- tors they're bound to change the expected course of events.

Director of education John Cochrane said the board would have to make a decision on the matter or Mr. Alexander's seat would have to be deemed vacant. He said the Wingham trustee had planned to be at the January meeting and miss only February and March, A storm delayed the January meeting however and Mr. Alexander had started his vacation when the rescheduled meeting took place. Colborne trustee Shirley Hazlitt said she was not so concerned with Mr. Alexander missin8 the I meeting as she was with the, business held up due to his departure, She said his absence from committee meetings may delay board business adding that 'his allowance for the months he missed should be deducted as first decided. Board chairman Herb Turk- heim said that quite often board members are absent due to sickness and pointed out that the member's allowance is an honor- arium based on a year's service to the board. Ashfield trustee Eugene Frayne said that sickness and vacation could not be compared adding he felt that a year's service to the board was 12 months not nine. He asked if the people of Wingham knew Mr. Alexander missed the time and if they knew they were not being represented at two or three board meetings a year. • Herb Turkheim said he felt the people of Wingham knew about Mr. Alexander's absence and showed their approval of ' his performance by electing him to another term on the board. He said the Wingham trustee faced some good competition in the election and was voted in at the top of the polls. "They must be satisfied with him," said Turkheim. Under board policy adopted in 1975 the chairman's advisory board is charged with the task of keeping a record of attendance of board members at regular board meetings and reviewing the records to decide on any deduction of allowance, Mr. Elliott claimed that the policy gives the task of deciding what percentage of allowance Alexand- er should be docked to the committee and means the board should not have been involved. Shirley Hazlitt said that under the resolution the advisory committee was given the respons- ibility but suggested "it hasn't . been doing its job". She said the committee should review the performance of every board member regularly and asked that it do the review now paying particular attention to Alexand- er's absenteeism. Elliott said the only way he would consider that motion is if all members were treated the same. The board recognized the need for performance review and passed the motion.

CECIL WITTICH BLYTH UNITED CHURCH Let me begin by saying that the greatest event that has ever taken place in the history of this world is the death of Jesus Christ. His death is so great that we have the cross as the main symbol of our Christian faith and of the church. Why is his death so great? If it were not for his death, we would have no hope of ever being reconciled to God. We would be as Paul says, "Without hope and without God in the world." (Ephesians 2:12) And who wants to live in that kind of a world? The death of Christ was the main purpose for his coming into the world. As Jesus proceeded through his ministry, he began teaching more and more of his approaching death. At times his followers tried to 'change his mind. They could not understand why he should have to die. But Jesus would let nothing stand in the way. On one occasion when Peter tried to persuade him otherwise, Jesus said, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me." (Matthew 16:23). And in the end, Jesus had to struggle with his own will as he said, "Not my will, but thine be done." (Luke 22:42). The cross was not a sy. It meant the worst kind of suffering and humiliation possible. J sus,did not want to go to the cross, he was not seeking a martyr's deaf . He went in obedience to the will of God. The only way that man could be redeemed from his sin was for the perfect sacrifice to be made. Christ was that sacrifice. He was without sin. Only his blood was pure enough to atone for the sins of the world. He came as he said, "To give his life as a ransom for many. (Matthew 20:28). The writer of Hebrews says, "Christ appeared once and for all to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.'-' (9:26). The cross stands as the act of God (for God was in Christ reconciling . the world to himself, 11 Corinthians 19) and as our means of salvation. What are you doing about the cross? We cannot save ourselves. We cannot make ourselves right with God. We can only accept by faith what God has done for us and the world in the death of his Son. Once you have discovered that Christ has died for you personally then his death becomes for you the mightiest event that has ever taken place on the face of this planet. You can know that truth now by asking him to save you. CHURCH OF GOD McConnel Street, Blyth CHURCH SERVICE: I I a.m. THE ANGLICAN CHUCH OF CANADA Rev. Fred H.
