Come home for the Blyth Centennial i July 30 August 1, 1977 These local youngsters were among, the many who performed at Memorial Hall Friday night as the annual dance recital for 'Gall Glanville's dance students from Blyth and Brussels was held. A packed house as usual was on hand for the event. Proceeds were donated tor figure skating and the Summer Festival. --staff photo. Farmers need unity to fight for better tariffs In the battle over trade and tariff protection farmers lose out because of lack of an effective' lobby, Professor Murray McGregor, of the University of Guelph told the members of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture meeting in Belgrave Thursday night.` Getting tariff changes is difficult, Prof, McGregor said and lobby groups for such segments as industry put a lot .of pressure on government for changes thatwill help East Wawanosh council discusses drain East Wawanosh township voted. to support the Huron County Farmstead and Home Improvement Competition when it held its May meeting in Belgrave May 3. The contest, designed to spur county property owners to improve their proper- ties before the 1978 International Plowing Match to be held in Huron, was given a grant of $500 by the township. In other business, building permits were issued to W. McNee for "an addition to a barn and Gordon Elliott for a drive shed and steel posts. Court of Revision on the ` Hallahan, Caldwell and Toll Minicipal Drain was -held with on appeal on acreage from T. flack. The acreage was subsequently reduced from 90 acres to 87 acres. Council voted to seek a $1700 supplementary subsidy to cover the _cost of the municipal bridge appraisal. Road accounts of $18,907.29 and general accounts of $3184;75 were approved for payment. them and against changes that will hurt them. Unless farmers get more unity, he said, they can't exert much pressure and will always be the victims of unfair tariffs. prof. McGregor explained that getting changes in existing tariff structures is very difficult. First of all, you must . convince yourgovernment,,, then the government must go throuiphe:complicated negotia- tions of getting `approval from the General Agreement on; Tariffs and Trade (GAAT), Changes must be.=proved needed because of unfair hardship' on .a country,' then the country against which the tariff changes were . directed isfree to take retaliatory action. If Canada, for instance, changes tariffs against U.S. products but does not get GAAT approval, the U.S. is free to retaliate and has a big stick to wave. Bargaining with the U.S. can be tough, he said, Once bargaining begins, politics takes over and the bargainers must be aware of what the folks back home are going to say about the final outcome. They are also subject to tremendous pressure from special interest groups. Many of the present trade inequities between the U.S, and Canada come from the fact that the U.S. imposes a percentage of worth tariff on Canadian "products while Canada charges so much per unit. The tariffs started off as offsetting, he said, but because of inflation, Canada is now being hurt..But it's one thing to see the injustice, it's another to get it changed. Farmers must not only convince the agriculture ministers, but the Department of Trade and Commerce since it is that body which does the negotiating for changes. Until farmers can unit to put more_. pressure on the .government to protect their interests, they will have a hard time getting changes, Prof. McGregor said, and d that day seems to be a long way off. ' He said the present problems which see farm products used as tradeoffs to get a. better deal for manufactured products probably goes back to the beginning of the tariff structure when agriculture was the main industry and manufacturing small and politicians felt they could give a little of their agriculture in order to win advantages for their struggling infant industries. Once the pattern was begun, he said, it was difficult to change. Seniors project Work continued at a standstill Wednesday on the site of the proposecd 24 -unit senior citizens apartment project following a stop -work order issued by the Ontario Housing Authority district engineer. Work was ordered halted on Friday after the engineer discovered what he felt were footings insufficient to support the building. Meanwhile the contractor, J.P. Ducharme Ltd., of Zurich and his architect are trying to prove to the Ontario Housing Corporation that the footings are adequate. Work commenced only two weeks ago on the building which has been plagued since the beginning with headaches. It was a year ago that construction, was halted on the first proposed building for the site when it was discovered than ar Barbecue set for Centennial The regular meeting of the Centennial Committee met in the Town Hall. The committee is , anxious to ' get decorations up as soon as possible and strips of, red, white and blue bunting is available for order. If individual home owners are interested in purchasing bunting, contact B.J. Fabrics as soon as possible. It is hoped everyone will participate in some form of decorating to make this a gala event. The committee has decided that perhaps it won't be necessary to hire Bruce Search and Rescue Club 18 for parking and they are to be contacted immediately. It was still felt necessary to have a first aid base and the St. John's Ambulance Corp. is to be contacted. They are to be asked to also be in attendance for the Billy Meek Show as well as the 'big weekend'. A. delegation from Kinburn Foresters was present to discuss plans for Chicken Barbecue on Sunday, Jut). 31. By the sounds of things, it is going to be a good night to eat out. Tickers are being printed right away and the admission is only $3.50. for adults, $1.75 for children and pre-schoolers free. Supper is being served from 4 to 7 p.m. Don't forget the Centennial Dance, May 14. If you have your Centennial Costume ready, now is the chance to wear it. More representatives from Centennial Com- mittee members would be appreciated at this dance please. The Variety Concert for May 18 is expected to be a sell out so come early and be guaranteed a seat. At this event we find out the winners of our Queen - Princess Contest. The Circus tickets for June 2 are available- now. In Blyth they can be purchased at these outlets, Grand -View Lunch. Taskers Furniture, Triple -K, Blyth Post Office, Wilson's Variety and Borden Cook, Advance tickets are $1.75 each. Prizes for school centennial projects were discussed and Mrs. Battye would like suggestions as to where we could hang the Murls as they should all be on display for everyone to appreciate, preferably inside so they wouldn't get wet. Because of the Variety Concert, it was decided to cancel the meeting in two weeks and meet instead in one month, Wednesday, June 1 at 8 p.m. in Blyth Memorial Hall, shutdown again .. engineering error had meant that the building was going to be below ground -level. O.H.C. officials claimed to correct the error would put the cost of a 12 -unit building out of the question. Village council, Clerk -Treasurer Larry Walsh, local senior citizens and M.P.P. Murray Gaunt fought to have O.H.C. see if there was need for a 24 -unit building which was large enough to support the added cost. A survey showed enough people interested in living in the building but even then local council had to agree to pay for the cost of fill for the site before O.H.C. officials would go ahead with the new building. There is no word when construction will recommence. The contractor had promised the building would be finished by early October while the contract calls for completion by January I. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD/MAY 11, 1977, iP.P. officer explains changes for oversized vehicles -BY VON. R.W, WILSON O.P,P, COMMUNITY SERVICES OFFICER Often jokes are passed regarding farmers and how bad off they' are.,,always,complaining and so on, Well, as I stated recently at a local Farm Safety Association meeting, we as Law Enforcement Officers sympathize with the farmer concerning the oversize laws we had. Some of their equipment was so oversized that not even a special permit would allow it to be drawn on a highway legally.. Finally, the Provincial legis- lature has made regulations for these oversized farmvehicles to be driven or drawn on our highways without a special. permit. This does not, of course, mean it will be safer, it only extends the authority under certain regulations which are outlined below, First of all, highways means any road used by the public either gravel or paved and includes King's highways, County roads,' concession and sideroads, Night means one-half hour after sunset to one-half hour before sunrise. 1. No farm vehicle over eight foot six inches (8' 6") wide shall be, driven or drawn on a controlled access, highway such as the 400 series highways, eg. 400, 401, 402, etc, or the Queen Elizabeth Way, Kitchener -Waterloo Expressway etc. 2. Every farm vehicle over eight foot six inches (8' 6") wide, if on a highway at night or in fog etc. when lights are required by law shall have a flashing amber light on each side of the front and each side of the rear of the overwidth vehicle (tractor, combine, cultivator, seed planter, etc.) 'which shall be placed not more than six inches from the side of the permanent structure of the vehicle and shall be visible for 500 feet from the front and rear respectively of the vehicle. You don't require these flash- / ing amber lights if you are directly crossing a highway, or if you hoc ap ,escort vehicle 2001 feet in front and ars escort vehicle 200 feet behind . the overwidth vehicle using four way flashers or a rotating amber light mounted on the roof of these escort vehicles producing a light visible for 500 feet. 1 If your farm vehicle (tractor, combine,. planter; cultivator, etc,) exceeds twelve feet six inches (12' 6") in width, but is less than sixteen (16') while being driven or drawn on a highway at night or when lights are required by law, it shall be equipped with a rotating amber light mounted on the uppermost part of the vehicle producing flashes of amber lights visible at a distance of 500 feet to the front and to the rear besides the flashing . amber lights front and back on either side men-• tioned in paragraph two. This rotating light and the flashing lights are not required if you are directly crossing a highway br you have the escort vehicles as mentioned in para- graph two, 200 feet front and rear with the four way flashers on or a rotating light on the roof, 4. In the daytime any farm vehicle (tractor, combine, planter, culti- vator, etc.) which is driven or drawn on a highway that is over twelve feet six inches (12' 6") wide shall be equipped with Dither the flashing amber lights on either side front and rear as mentioned in paragraph two or the rotating flashing light on the uppermost part of the vehicle mentioned in paragraph three. These lights or light are not required if you are directly crossing the highway. 5. Any farm vehicle (tractor, combine, cultivator, planter, etc.) that exceeds sixteen feet (16') in width while being driven or drawn on a highway at night or at times when lights are required, shall be preceded by an escort vehicle 200 feet in front and followed by an escort vehicle 200 feet behind your overwidth vehicle with four way flashers on or. a rotating amber light on the roof visible for 500 feet. These vehicles' are not required if the vehicle' is being driven or drawn directly ' across` the highway, As you see, if you don't feel that you want to string wires, and lights back from your tractor to the overwidth vehicle, eg, cultivator, planter, etc., you can use the escort vehicles front and rear at night. It must also be understood that apart from the new lighting systems and the escort vehicle, you must still have your usual two headlights, taillight and slow moving vehicle sign. At first it all sounds confusing, but once operational it will be quite simple and routine. Your safety can also be enhanced if done properly as 'was intended.

Huronview employs volunteers both as individual helpers and in the form of resource groups—such as church and service clubs. To carry on the variety of activities for relidents,, more volunteers are always needed to assist recreation director Bob —Taylor, and the Volunteer Bureau would be happy to hear from anyone interested in getting involved. Activities include: Sunday evening song services twice a month, old-time music program- mes on Mondays, Tuesday family -nights, Wednesday games afternoons, Thursday Bible stud- ies, and organ music, and Friday bingos -- something for everyone, one. Volunteers at Huronview come from a varied' sampling of interested groups: the Christian Reformed Church, the Goderich Township Women's Institute, the Blyth news Mrs. Charlotte Cook, Mr. and Mrs, Harvey Snell and family, Mr, and Mrs, Cliff Snell and family, Mrs, Jack Johnson and family of London and Mr. and Mrs, Alvin Snell motored to Aylmer to ' spend Mother's Day with Mr. and Mrs, Jim Timpancy and family of Aylmer. Mr. and Mrs. 'Alvin Snell stayed over until Monday. Mother's Day visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Cars Longman and family were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dolmage and daughter Angela of Winthrop. Mr, and Mrs. Tony Straker visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rollings in Toironto. Also their daughter Gail and girlfriend were there to celebrate Gail's 2Ist birthday. On the way the Pentecostal Tabernacle in Exeter, The Volunteer Bureau is pleased with the successful placement of one of its own volunteers, Mr. Ed. Zeale, Mr. Zeale helps with everything from the music programmes and bingos to the monthly birthday party, held for all the celebrants in that . month. For all these socials and music entertainments it is necessary to see that 'all the1 residents who want to attend are able to get to the auditorium on time. This. means starting con- siderably in advance to bring - those in wheelchairs (as many as 60 or 70 to the auditorium individually. To accomplish this in a reasonable tine, the recreation director might be assisted by perhaps half a dozen volunteers, individuals like Mr. Zeale, or a group from a church or service organization that lends a hand, -There are also the ambulatory residents who may require an arm to steady b-riefs Straker's stopped at Orangeville to visit Mr. and Mrs. J.

And always, of course, there are a few who have to be coaxed a little. The volunteer must be an understanding and personable helper. It is very important that friendship and co-operation pre- vail, and that the residents be regarded on personal terms, not as patients or boarders 'in an institution. In this respect, all contact between volunteers and residents helps keep the home and the rest of the surrounding community from becoming separ- ate worlds, One particularly interesting programme . is the musical afternoon presented oc- casionally by the choir group from Huron Centennial School at Brucefield. The young students get a good opportunity to meet and entertain the residents, and the residents benefit from the spontaneity and' zest of their youthful visitors. Such contact and communication are increas- ingly important in a society that tends to be too busy to take time to know people and exchange with them as individuals. All homes for seniors can benefit from volunteer assistance in programmes similar to those mentioned. If you want to be a volunteer in such a programme, please contact us at the Huron Volunteer Bureau in Clinton: 482-3037 to find out what is going on in your arca. THE 'MYTH STANDARD/MAY 11, 1977.

If you listen to the words spouted by the politicians, they're not likely to get any more answers. The opposition parties don't want the election and poor Mr. Davis sounds like he's been hurt grievously to have to go seeking votes. Mr. Davis' tears, however, are definitely of the crocodile kind. The excuse for this election is of the flimsiest kind, The reason is'not the amendment to the rent control legislation pushed through by the Liberals and New Democrats, but the recent polls that show the Tories far out front in popularity. The government had seemed so changed in the past year and a half since it squeaked in with a minority. It seemed so humble, so far from the arrogant giant that steamrollered through such monstrosities as regional government, county school boards and other centralizing , measures, against the will of the people. The grab for power that Davis ,i is now making, however, shows that he was only lying low waiting for his chance to take over again. Let's hope for once, that Bill Davis has miscalculated the mood of the Ontario people. The last thing we need in this province is a return to the kind of arrogant government we had before the last election, Davis will likely resort to the old Red scare tactics against the N.D.P. since that appears to be his main opposition but hopefully people won't buy it. Better Stephen Lewis and the N.D.P. anyday than the kind of government the province has had in the past ,10 years. • We didn't want this election. We were happy enough with a humble Bill Davis in government. Since Mr. Davis thinks a minority government isn't enough power then it's time the people of Ontario gave him a chance to see what life is like with no power at all. You get what you pay for J A local businessman was in the office last week blasting the publisher and staff because a news, item he brought in had not appeared in the paper for two weeks. Explanations to the fact that there wasn't room for the news item (along with a good deal of other news) just wasn't enough to satisfy the person. That the blast should come from this businessman was particularly ironic because over the past five years this business has been one of the poorer advertisers in town. In that period it's doubtful if the business had bought enough advertising in this publication to support the cost of even one week's production of this newspaper. Similar businesses in other towns are major advertisers, buying more advertising in a single week than this business normally does in a year. • This businessman is all too typical, of course. It's an unfortunate fact of life that in a town this size if you want to have a newspaper, you have to be willing to pay the cost. Too many businessmen like to have the newspaper around when it comes time for a special sale or when advertising for help wanted or when their son or daughter wins a prize and he wants a picture in the paper, but when it comes to the need for regular advertising to keep a newspaper going, forget it Charlie. Why did the news report in question and several other's get left out? The answer is simply that this town generates a heck of a.lot more news than it doe's advertising. Sad but true, it is the advertising that pays the freight for the news. Adding extra pages costs money for' printing and if the advertising isn't there to pay the extra cost, a newspaper can't afford to go extra pages. The policy of this newspaper has always been to give readers the best possible product. Often sacrifices have been made by the publishers and the staff of this publication to tarry out this policy. Probably few other businesses have as dedicated a staff as we've been fortunate to assemble. Such criticism as mentioned which is too frequently heard cuts deeply to our people who have sacrificed with low wages and long hours to give the best possible newspaper. You want a bigger and better newspaper for Blyth? Then pay for it. A newspaper is not a public utility that can raise money through taxes. A newspaper has to balance the budget through advertising from businesses, classified advertising and subscriptions. A newspaper in a town this size is a marginal thing. There is no guarantee that just because the newspaper has been around for 80 years that it will be around next year. It has to pay its bills. It has to have the support of all citizens and all businesses to do that. If you're giving your full support through advertising and prompt subscription payment then maybe you have a right to complain. If you aren't, then maybe you should either put up or shut up. Hilltop silouette Letter to the editor _Writer argues for THE EDITOR: It is not my intention to add fuel to the fire, but as a parent 1 have followed closely the discussions concerning literature content in High Schools. Because this confusing issue is not confined to Huron County but is one which is being faced in Canada, United States and even in the United Kingdom, I feel that we should be aware that this is a widespread concern. For several years ,I have viewed, with alarm, how the preponents of permissive behav- iour; the ideas of the counter -cult- ure have permeated every facet.of our society. The appearance of these ideas in literature is just the tip of the ice -burg in our society today. I could discuss other areas of concern but will confine my thoughts to the issue at hand. Over the last few years 1 have taken it upon myself to make a private survey . of the trends in literature. This has led me to read the so-called "best sellers", "award-winning" literature, both prose and poetry. I do not claim to belong to the "intellectual elite", who hail such books with great ferver, but 1 believe that they can be put -into' the following categories. 1. The most, numerous are the ones which have such a poor story, plot and character deve- lopment that the author (or authoress) has had to resort to filth, blasphemy, ..and word pornography for shock appeal. 2. The second group (which does not number so many books) is a group which contains books that have excellent story, plot, character development etc. but for some reason (known only to the author) . gutter language, blasphemy (which I especially • better books deplore) etc. have been included. These additions have done nothing to enhance the story and often detract from it. Perhaps the addition was for market value alone. 3. Few and far between (but they do exist) are books of literature in which plot, story, character development etc, are told in a way and with such a use of excellent vocabulary, that the authors had no need to resort to "tricks of the trade" mentioned in categories one and two, 1 reject the accusation that persons who question the value of books which fall into categories "one" and "two" are ill -inform - cd, and narrow-minded do- gooders, Rather, the many 1 have met, are well-informed about what is taking place an the literary scene, and think twice before they voice objections in the face of popular opinion. It is interesting to note that in many places in Ontario, School Boards protest pornography in stores being available to young people, and that they also conduct "Sex education" courses so that children will not consider"sex" a gutter topic. One is left to assume that "word pornography and gutter language" is f t only between the covers of "today's great literature". An adult may (and 1 use that word with reservations) be able to read book after book belonging to the first and second categories I mentioned, and just remember the good parts and completely forget the questionable parts. I question that we can apply this same concept to a "captive audience" of young' people,.: whose life styles and thought patterns are still in the process of, being formed. - The usual argument used here, is that if the children arc given proper standards at home, then nothing (including gutter langu- age or blasphemy) can corrode their minds. As many a parent can testify, this isnot the case, Just as the smallest rotten apple can extend its rotten state to a bushel of good apples, so small doses of filth, blasphemy etc, can contaminate the cleanest minds. I believe that young people should know life as it is, because the behaviour of man•(moral vs. immoral, reverent vs. blasphemy) has been the same since the beginning of civilization. I do not question an au)hor's right to deal with these age-old themes, or an education systehis' right to present them, but 1 do question the vehicles of expression found in so many of the books j resented to young people and adults alike. If a thought. is the mother of a deed. and a deed is the mother of a habit, and habit becomes part of onc's character then we, as "adults" have a grave responsib- ility when we put "written thoughts" in the form of literature into the minds of vulnerable young people. Although 1 know it is a popular opinion in literary circles to view with distaste the words and concepts of authors who wrote before the 1960's, 1 wish to close with this old quotation. It is a standard which is still the best standard for the education of the young person's mine and a guide -line for adults who teach in the home, in the school, in 'the church and in the community.

There is usually a pig thrown in there too, for added effect, although what a pig has to do with either maleness or chauvinism is a mystery to me. Maleness is a matter of plumbing, Chauvinism, in its true meaning, is supernat- ionalism to the point of idiocy. Pigs can also be female, and I've met some lady pigs. Therefore, as people say when they're trying to stall for time, the slam "male, chauvinist pig". leaves me completely unmoved,. even a little scornful, If you look carefully you can see a definite possibility that if 1 wasn't careful my lip would curl, ever so slightly. - Perhaps you're thinking "Oh, here we go again; one of those looks into the inurky depths, of Smiley's mind. And just when we think he's committed himself to something,, he'll slide out from under, and tell us he really loves women, and thinks the Liberation movement is the, greatest forward Bill and women's lib • step for humanity in 10 zillion years." Weil, you're wrong. I've just spent a weekend with my daughter, who has read about 800 books on Women's Lib, and comes out with such unadulter- ated and misinformed garbage about men and women that I have to fight back, in the interests of truth and objectivity,. 1 emerge from these sessions sore and raw and bleeding, but by George, I still have my heels dug in as she tries to drag me into the 21st century. , To put it very bluntly . and briefly, she makes me sick, She blurts out all sorts of hairy and half -formed - generalizations, which I'm supposed to accept as gospel; For example. She says, airily, "Women have been oppressed all through history," This is just after I've fed one of her kids, and got the %her one off to sleep by reading hiim six books of fairy tales, She is lying on a couch watching television, and she and her mother are drinking tea and eating cherry cake and cheese, prepared and brought to them by guess who. Her mother, who is about as oppressed as Attila the Hun, nods sagely. I blow up. "Crap!" 1 get so mad that I'm reduced to this kind of language. Poor show, Come on, Dad. You know perfectly well that women have never been allowed to make the crucial decisions, that they've never had control of the purse strings." '1Now just a minute there, you rotten kid, Just hold it right there, Miss Smartass. My father was never allowed to make a crucial decision in his life. My mother made them all, And he came home and forked over his pittance`" to my mother and she ran the whole show, financially," "That's right, Kim" comment- ed my wife, who changes sides as it suits her, "Your Dad is the same. He can't make a decision, and if 1 didn't look after the money, we'd be in the poorhouse. I even have to make out the income tax, because he's so stupid, One year he did it, and he was out $2,000, which we had to paY " This kind of support 1 don't need. Fortunately, Kim, like every other turkey painted into a corner, rounded on her mother. "Why didn't you get a job when we were children?" she queried. For no particular reason, except to hassle her mother into a sense of inferiority. "Because I didn't need one. I was married to a man who worked 60 hours a week to provide a living for his wife and children, of whom you were one and don't you forget it. And we had a lot Tess then than you have now," This ' was . one of those big swipes women can make, which simultaneously take a crack at the daughter's husband, remind her that she's been a burden, establish the fact that we coped better than she does, and tries to eget me on her side, two against one, It didn't work.

"Yabbut, Mom, that was the old days. Look at you now. You're just a housewife." This is supposed to be the crushing epithet, the one that makes you put your head in your hands and weep, "You're right. I've never been fulfilled." But the Old Lady's getting tough too. She retorted: "Yes! And that's exactly what I want to be. I like my sewing. I enjoy cooking gourmet meals. My piano students are a pleasure.

Enrolment dates approach dor beef stabilization plan Undoubtedly, many cow calf pcltducers are confused about the details and practical application procedures of the Federal Beef - Cow -Calf Program and the Provincial Beef Calf Income Stabilization Program, Perhaps some of the confusion can be clarified in the various points below. 1. Producers enrolled in the Ontario Beef Calf Income Stabili- zation Program in 1976 will have enrollment forms for 1977 mailed directly to them. These forms must be completed and returned to the Ontario Ministry of . Agriculture & Food by May 31st, . 1977. 2, Producers who enrol in the Ontario Beef Calf Income Stabili- zation Program will' be automati- cally enrolled in the Federal Beef Cow -Calf Program and hence need pot apply. However, any producer who has not enrolled in the provincial program but wished to enrol in the federal program must do so on his own initiative. Enrolment forms are available in county OM AF offices and federal stockyards offices. 3. All beef cows (females which will give birth to a calf in 1977) in a producer's possession as of April 1, 1977 will be eligible for coverage under the provincial plan, (This is a change form from last year and was made to coincide with the federal pro- gram). Cows from which cream is shipped will be eligible for enrolment in the Ontario Beef Calf Income Stabilization Pro- gram. 4, Producers who enrol in the Ontario program will be guarant- eed the federal support price and in addition will receive from the Ontario Government the differ- ence between the federal support payment and the provincial support payment. 5. Hon. William Newman has announced that for the Ontario Beef Calf Income Stabilization Program, the support level for 1977 is 51,5 cents per Ib. and the premium is $8.00 per cow. 6, The exact support price in the federal program will probably not be announced until tete end of the year, however will be 90 percent of the previous five year average adjusted for changes in cash costs of .production, 7. In each program calf prices will be monitored during Septem- ber, October, November, and December, to determine the nationally weighted average calf price and the provincial weighted average calf price, 8. There is no minimum and no maximum in the number of eligible cows in the Ontario program, In the federal program, there is a deductible of 5 cows and a maximum of 100 cows. (Example - a producer with 100 cows will be eligible for payment on 95 while a producer with 30 cows will be eligible for payment on 2S). 9. In the Ontario Program, per cow payments will be based on a 450 Ib. calf and assuming a calf crop fo 85%, In the Federal program, per cow payment will be based on a 450 lb. calf and assuming an 85% calf crop and 15% replacement rate.

Many make a virtue of "keeping our' nose out of the business of Text Eph, 5; 21.6:4. others"; I hope they never gossip. Jesus didn't do that. He talked to a tax collector up a tree, helped a Wheeler Dealers prostitute rebuild her life, stood by his disciples when they failed and generally shared himself with others. Jesus' life was sharing himself with others. In recent years we spend more time building walls around ourselves, insulating ourselves. We take our protective devices with us to separate us from others, Turtles, porcupines and skunks, for all their protective devices, do not impress us as the most attractive or effective animals, Jesus was one of the most unselfish persons who ever lived. In recent years I see us, living in one of the world's richest and finest countries, becoming more stridently selfish. It makes me sick, Having been through the voluntary breakup of my marriage -• involuntary breakup is that through death •- let me assure you that many of us have found it was one of the most devastating experiences we have ever endured. Why do so many of you, part of a couple -oriented society, shut us out: docs a person become a rock when he's not part of a couple anymore? As a separated clergyman, I found some unique advantages and problems, but so many formerly married people speak of this rejection that I felt it important to refer to it. Is your own marriage rather shaky, so you fear to let us near your mate? The mate can find someone if that is attractive;, better to have us meeting v ithin your sight. Many of us formerly -married yearn for intimacy again but most aren't interested in short term or sneaky ones; we wouldn't touch your spouse with.a 10 -foot pole, Having been through a traumatic breakup once, even the beginning of a close relationship frightens us. The possibility of intimacy with someone presently part of a couple sets our inner person to shouting, "Leave him/her ALONE! You want a long-term, settled relationship. To get it with him/her you'll have to go through another marriage breakup. Hey, stupid—remember what it's like getting run over by a truck? RUN! We're interested in the investment of our emotional energy in a long term, settled relationship; which means we're interested in other singles, not doubles. As a matter of fact, we'd like to see your marriage get better, for we would not wish =triage breakdown on our worst'enemy. Thus we support programs of marriage enrichment for, we want to see good marriages get better, not go downhill. Personally, I found much help from a group of single parents called Parents Without Partners for a few years after my spouse moved out. When the one who means more to you than anyone in the world says they can't stand you any more, it makes you feel two inches high. At a time like that one really needs a good friend.

Dear Reader, who reads this message that has been given to you who have never had the experience of the fulfillment of God's Holy word which proclaims the Joyful news of Jesus' own words, "Ye must be born again" found In St. John 3:3. Jesus also said in St. Luke 13;3, Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Many postpone the call because they do not understand the new birth. Our Mother suffered for our first birth. Jesus suffered for our second birth on the cruel cross and shed his precious blood; For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. St. John 3:16. Jesus also said in St. John 6:37, Him that cometh unto me, 1 will in no wise cast out. Means anyone. Friends, this is not an automatic salvation, as some think as long as they believe in God and do good works that they will be saved and go to Heaven when they die. Do not reject the one who was willful; to bear the suffering and take all your sins away. Itis because of our first parents, "Adam and Eve" that this provision was made. Can you understand dear ones? "Sin entered into the world". Did you know that your soul, your real you lives inside your body, and will leave your body at time of death and go into heaven [if saved) or go into hell and live forever? Is your name written in God's book? Rev, 20:15, And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. You must come Just as you are and tell Jesus what you want. Obey Jesus own words. Repent of your sins, and invite Jesus to come intoyour heart and life, and save your soul. Never give up until you know for sure. This Is the answer you can know you have been born Into God's Kingdom. You have to make your own choice. i testify to you In case you may be wondering if this Is real. Dear ones the one September morningin 1951 1 shall never forget the joy and peace and glorious assurance that flooded my soul. Yes, it is real. Jesus loves you. Jesus Saves, Jesus heals.

Versatility was the key feature. Several vocal numbers trans- ported listeners' thoughts to the colourg and wonders of the out-of-doors. Judith McPhee's clearly enunciated words sang out, "Cherry Ripe, Come and Buy". Louise McGregot's soft plea was, "Touch the Wind and 1'l1 be Close to You". The euphonious duet of Cathy and Kim called to the Little Shepherd Boy to come play on his pipes. Harry Lear, who Mrs. McDougall sai ' was the only performer she could not claim as a pupil, handled like a professional Joyce Kilmer's "Trees." His rich tenor voice was also appreciated in the theme of the Blind Ploughman culminating in the line, "God who took away my eyes so my soul could see." His wife Gail, was his capable accompanist. The audience felt like tapping or clapping or walking on air listening to Doreen Anderson's and Judith McPhee's piano duet, "Boogie for Two" and Strauss's "Waltz", and Susan Street's operatic number, "Hark the Echoing Air", with its racy runs Crawford, Mill & Davies - Barristers & Solicitors take pleasure in announcing that Murray J.

The mother -daughter, organ - piano team of Florence and Marilyn Wightman played with such impact the swelling chord of Handel's famous "Largo" that earthy problems could be trans- formed intoecstatic bliss. Susan Street's plaintive tones in St. Matthew's Passion sung in German, Anne Snell's high quality performance in "0 Lord Most Holy', and Sharon Wittich's sweet toned and expressive rendition of two popular Gospel songs; Gentle Shepherd and Because He Lives, these all drew us closer to the Eternal. A fitting climax to the program was . Douglas Thomson's piano rendition of How Great Thou Art which included delightful varia- tions of his own composition, Congratulations are extended to these young musicians and best wishes in their upcoming exams, ' Much praise is due to Mrs, McDougall whose interest and hard work throughout the years have done much to make Blyth and surrounding communities musical centres for Huron, PLANT FOODS (1974) INC. 526-7262, AUBURN PHOS x 20 216,• DELHI Super` Home of Specially formulated grain fertilizers All analysis available - order now..

Since five newspapers cover this area (two dailies, a weekly, a bi-weekly and a five•a•week) and there are lots of TV and radio stations, it seemed best to call a press conference. One of the reporters asked the dignified silver -haired woman if she ever had had an abortion. Her reply was, "No." The next question: "Were you ever unfaithful to your husband in all those 60 years?" She hesitated a moment, then said firmly, "Young lady, I can't see how my answer to 'that question would possibly matter to you." A few moments later the same brass plated female reporter asked the silver -haired lady about her views on contraception. She tired to contain her disgust and finally replied, "I've learned that young people don't care two hoots or a holler what older people think about the subject." The reporter persisted, "Did you and your husband practice birth control? •You only have three children," The other reporters were pretty fed up by this time. One of them broke the tension by saying, "I suspect from your answers that you've been reading Ann Land- ers." She came back with: "You're absolutely right. I also read the Bible and it says, 'A soft answer turneth away wrath,' " Isn't that beautiful? --Another Anne. DEAR ANNE: Beautiful is the word. A bouquet of skunk cabbage to those .clods who call themselves On stupid questions reporters. I learned long ago that just because a.person has the gall to ask any question that comes to his mind doesn't mean he (or she) is entitled to an answer DEAR ANN: My husband and 1 have a few friends, not many, ' When they come to visit I say very little,. I'm sure they think I am anti -social. Actually, I love to talk but I must be very careful what 1 say because if my husband decides I didn't use the proper words he makes my life hell. The same is true when we go visiting. 1 must measure my words because if I say something he doesn't like he becomes angry and yells at me all the way home. We could both be killed because he drives like a maniac when he gets angry. For obvious reasons, I can't receive a written reply from you (he opens ALL the mail), but actually, 1 don't need advice. I know the solution to my prob- lems, and one of these days 1 intend to have some peace in my life. --Just Waiting. DEAR JUST: Waiting for what? The ideal time to unload the tyrant? It will never come. Save yourself while you still have your sanity and some good years ahead. • DEAR ANN: I was not born in your country so please forgive my ignorance. 1 am puzzled by the curious habit of American parents when asked about their children, Why, so often, do they respond by telling the boy's height and weight? (Example: "George is 6.2 and weights 190 pounds.") These statistics are announced with great pride, as if it were a great achievement, Why? --Philadelphia Inquirer. DEAR PHIL: In the absence of something valid to brag about, parents can always fall back on height and weight. Maybe it's an effort to substitute quantity for quality.

The bays played 31 games of hockey this year. In doing so they won the W.O.A.A. championship and the Peewee B3 championship in the International Silver Stick at Wdtford. The boys made a lot of friends this year, while playing in the W.O.A.A. and tournaments when they won they were champions `and when they lost they still acted like champions and gentlemen on and off the ice. In the 31 games played the boys scored a total of 286 goals and had 69 goals scored against them.

How to start a disaster by yelling 'fire' on economy By JIM SMITH To set the stage for disaster, start with a couple of thousand people. Put them _ in_a_.hall or theatre. Yell "fire". And watch the panic develop. It almost never fails, In general, more people are killed by crowding the exits than from fire itself. There have been cases of deaths even though no one received so much as a minor burn, Humans, you see, have an uncanny ability to inflict more damage on themselves by at- tempting to avoid disaster than they would normally suffer if the disaster simply ran its course. And that brings us to econom- ics, a subject with close ties to panic and disaster. More and more Canadians are convinced that the economy is going down the drain. So more and more Canadians, attempting to avert disaster, are panicking, ensuring something unpleasant will take place. A few months ago, Canada's unemployed exceeded 900,000 for the first time in longer than anyone seems to remember. Figuring that high unemployment signals depression, the country panicked. Retail sales have fallen sharply. Travel is down. Every- one is busy saving rather than spending, hoping to have a nest -egg if their jobs go, too. In fact, disaster is 'not inevitable. More unemployment than the government seems willing to admit exists because of generous unemployment insur- ance and welfare, There is real unemployment, too; but it is concentrated in certain age groups and regions. However, as the Canadian Feder ation of Independent Business points out, unemployment is a temporary problem. Canada has the fastest growing labour force in the Western World right now (which explains the unduly high unemployment among the under - 25 -year-old Canadians). In only a few years, however, growth of the labour force will come to an abrupt slowdown and there will be serious shortages of labour. Our priorities must be in the development of people with skills,- to kills;to meet the coming demand for their labour. • So, although we do have unemployment problems that are not capable of being easily solved in the very short run, there is certainly no reason to panic. Workers with a job in a stable industry now have no reason to lose sleep about security. There's no reason to be concerned, that is, unless we talk Canada into a recession. Invest- ors in the stock market suffer big losses because they react as a pack, stampeding at the least sign • of danger. They "psych" them- selves into a bad market. And consumers can psych us all into a recession. Saving a bit is good: tt prov:oes investment capital. Saving too much is bad; it puts Canadians out of work. The rational approach to today's economy is to oursleves trapped in the panic. carry on normal spending habits.

Rains needed for Huton crops Despite record winter snowfalls, Huron county needs rain if damage to crops is to be avoided, an agriculture official said Tueday, Dennis . Martin, assistant agriculture representative. for Huron County with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food said that rain is needed within the next few days if crop yields are not to be rdduced. Martin said that while areas south of the county have too much moisture in the soil, farmers here are starting to get nervous about the lack of rain to help their newly planted crops. "For the last 25 to 30 days in this area it has been good weather in working the ground. The farmers have been able to work without worrying about rain," he said. But now, with much of the summer crops planted and oats and barley starting to show, farmers need moisture, "It's not really serious yet but a good rain "would help", Martin said. "If we don't get it for another two weeks we could be in a more serious bind," A good rain would be a gentle warm shower lasting a couple of days, he said, Any harder than that and there could be erosion problems, and any less than that won't do much good. "We're going to need more than a little bit," Martin said. Some areas are facing a wind erosion problem as well, he said, There were minor dust stort�ts-,fin a few spots during high winds of last weekend. Without the moisture in the soil to hold it Huronview news The Old Tyme Music program was held in the Normal Care sitting room on Monday afternoon with the music provided by Elsie Henderson, Norman Speir and Cecil Skinner.

The concert was a real treat to the residents and Mrs. Myrtle Parker. a great-grandmother of One of the students expressed their apreciation to all those responsible for the program. down, that problem could increase, But the biggest potential problem is the effect of continu- ing dry conditions on crops that are harvested early. Unless there is rain in the next two weeks, the yield of early hay, harvested in the first half of June, will be down markedly, Martin said. If agricultural representatives had their way, he said, there would be no rain in late April, regular showers through May, two,dry weeks in early June and then more showers until harvest "That's the ideal situation," Martin said,, "but it rarely happens that way."

PHONE 5247811 subject AIRCONDITIONED to change 1 From the Minister's Study Life can be like a • walk in the woods BY EDWARD BAKER Normally my 12 -year-old daughter and • I get along quite well. Though she visits my home only occasionally, Ispend some time with her or my son, 15, or gab on the phone. After our family broke up I succumbed for a time, partially, to the temptation which besets many. "visiting fathers" who see .their children on Saturday or. Sunday afternoon, to become a "Disneyland Daddy", treating his children to amendless round of fun and games, buying them goodies and stuffing them, A- competitive game which mothers trying to make a thing income cover necessities are poorly equipped to play, For manyof us, the phase when we try to grab the inside track with our kids by laying on a glamorous whirl of gay activities soon passes, It's a brittle game; children respond to love, not things. Sometimes it's a diversion: when the one most important in your life rejects you, you feel chopped into small pieces. Numb, half dead or only half there; which you actually are. Remember your promise in the marriage service, ",.. become one in mind and spirit as well as one in body,,."? Most of us achieved at least part of that, so when the loved one leaves it feels as though part of our body or soul were torn away...whether by death or dissolution, losing a mate feels much the same, I feel. But when your loved one ",..can't stand you any more,,." and honesty, compels you to recognize valid reasons, you feel really cut down. For fear your beloved children also reject you, the "Disneyland Daddy" image appears, to avoid being real with them, is divorce, almost always a painful experience, always a defeat, a tragedy, total loss? A defeat, yes; but it need not be a total loss. Sometimes a massive shake-up may give us the opportunity to break loose from earlier self-defeating patterns of life, It may be an opportunity to take stock of yourself, to get to know who you are and how you operate, You can have a good look at what goals you really want and how to achieve them. Planning programs in our single parents' fellowship, we realized that many families were living on reduced income, so we tried to plan activities which were friendly, fun and cheap. Our program was threefold, providing: •various activities, serious and fun, for the whole family, as we are strongly a child -oriented group; • opportunites for adults to grow emotionally, among a group of friends who cared; and • social activities for adults. One activity in the spring which doesn't cost much is a walk in the woods. Plan two •- one at the end of winter and another a month later, when the leaves and flowers are out in all their glory. My son didn't want to go for a walk in the woods. He said that it was so drab and dead that it made hini feel sad and left him feeling depressed for a while. i said that even when it was brown, with skeleton trees and dead, ryrstling leaves, there was someone to walk and talk with. There is the assurance that this is not final death, but a sleeper about to waken to a beautiful, fragrant rebirth. ~ ° , My son and I have been rather distant, so 1 have been glad in recent months that we have been able to discuss subjects which have needed dealing with for some time - again, partly in the woods as we cut firewood. As seasons come and go, there are cycles in life. Survivors of divorce.know about the dead, drab woods, Those who look at the world today know that feeling. In the midst of the most advanced technology (I wanted to use the word, 'civilization' but my spirt rebels Mille use of the word to describe today's world) the world has ever known, we are far from content. We know how to rule material things, but we have not learned to control ourselves. Christ comes, and with a smile filled with radiant love, says, "Hey, friend, this dead woods can become a beautiful fragrant garden, filled with singing birds. Just let yourself come alive in love, my friend." Kincardine developer . P.C. candidate Kincardine developer Sam Mc- Gregor was named the candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party for the' riding of Huron - Bruce in the upcoming provincial lection June 9. The nominationmeeting was held Monday night in Kincardine. He was nominated by William Walden, who was the candidate in the last election and was unop posed. Mr; McGregor said that while he is a friend of his likely opponent Murray Gaunt of the Liberals, the contribution of the Huron -Bruce riding in. two areas, agriculture and industry is not recognized provincially. He said. the Liberals have little chance of firming the next government and therefore Huron -Bruce should have a member on the govern- ment side of the house. Although the riding has been strongly Liberal for 15 years McGregor said he thought Huron- / Bruce might be behind him. "This is a Tory community," he said. ,'"The people work like Tories." , - He didn't underestimate the task ahead, however, saying Mr. Gaunt is pretty well entrenched and all he can hope " to do is convince people that he can represent them. THE BLYTH STANDARD/MAY 11, 1977. PG. 19, S:pe.cial Pulitzer prize for Roots author Haley BY VONNI LEE The spectacular television set. - les, "Roots" derived from the fantastic book of the same name, has earned yet another honor for its writer, Alex Haley. A special Pulitzer Prize has been awarded b Haley for the best selling book about life among the American Hacks and the struggle they had b achieve freedom. It was made oto a television series and shown en American television, then subsequently in Canada. Like everything else that becomes famous, millions of people are going to cash in on the fact that Haley bared his soul in "Roots". His many years of research trying to find the roots of his own family, took him to Africa where he claims his ancestor was captured and taken as a slave to America. His success with the book and television series has made many headlines in the country and Africa expects to run a thriving tourist business this summer because of it. It seems nothing can remain sacred anymore. Haley, we believe, was not meaning to write or be a sensation with "Roots", What he wanted to do was find himself in a listory of people. He wrote a fantastic story and the entertain- ment world saw it as just that, entertainment. It has 'won him more fame and honor than he could have dreamed, but he has no doubt received more satisfac- tion in the fact that he has found more meaning of life as he traced it back to years when his people cid not really live, but only existed. Haley's book 'has also received a special National Book Award dtation for excellence, No doubt many television awards are fathcoming for a series which Ins caused more stir in the te)evision world that anything sire ,the medium was botn, ..April 17, 1977,.will go down in listory with other important dates n the history of CKNX Wingham, This was the day that CKNX FM Stereo 102 was born and opened its eyes to a new life in Western Ontario.

Most of us achieved at least part of that, so when the loved one leaves it feels as though part of our body or soul were torn away„,whether by death or dissolution, losing a mate feels much the same, I feel. But when your loved one ",,,can't stand you any more,,," and honestycompels you to recognize valid reasons, you feel really cut down. For fear your beloved children also reject you, the "Disneyland Daddy" image appears, to avoid being real with them. ' Is divorce, almost always a painful experience, always a defeat, a tragedy, total loss? A defeat, yes; but it need not be a total loss. Sometimes a massive shake-up may give us the opportunity to break loose from earlier self-defeating patterns of life. It may be an opportunity to take stock of yourself, to get to know who you are and how you operate, You can have a good look at what goals you really want and how to achieve them. Planning programs in our single parents' fellowship, we realized that many families were living on reduced income, so we tried to plan activities which were friendly, fun and cheap. Our program was threefold, providing: *various ' activities, serious and fun, for the whole family, as we are strongly a, child -oriented group; • opportunites for adults to grow emotionally, among a group of friends who cared; and * social activities for adults. One activity in the spring which doesn't cost much is a walk in the woods.Plan two one at the end of winter and another a month later, when the leaves and flowers are out in all their glory. My son didn't want to go for a walk in the woods. He said that it was so drab and dead that it madehini feel sad and left him feeling • depressed for a while. I said that even when it was brown, with skeleton trees and dead, rystling leaves, there was someone to walk and talk with. There is the assurance that this is not final death, but a sleeper about to waken to a beautiful, fragrant rebirth. — - My son and I have been rather distant, so 1 have been glad in recent months that we have been able to discuss subjects which have needed dealing with for some time • again, partly in the woods as we cut firewood. As seasons come and go, there are cycles in life. Survivors of divorce.know about the dead, drab woods, Those who look at the world today know that feeling. In the midst of the most advanced technology (1 wanted .to use the word, 'civilization' but my spirt rebels at'the :use of the word to describe today's world) the world has ever known, we are far from content. We know how to rule material things, but we have not learned to control ourselves. Christ comes, and with'a smile filled with radiant love, says, "Hey, friend, this dead woods can become a beautiful fragrant garden, filled with singing birds. Just let yourself come alive in love, my friend,". Kincardine developer P.C. candidate Kincardine developer Sam Mc- Gregor was named the candidate fcr the Progressive Conservative Party forthe riding of Huron - Bruce in the upcoming provincial election June 9. s - The nomination, meeting was held Monday night in Kincardine. He was nominated by William Walden, who ,was the candidate in the last election and was unopposed. Mr,: McGregor said that while he is a friend of his likely opponent Murray Gaunt of the liberals, thecontribution of the Huron -Bruce riding in, two areas, agriculture and industry is not recognized provincially. He said' the Liberals have little chance of laming the next government and therefore- Huron=Bruce should have a member on the govern- ment side of the house. Although the riding has been strongly Liberal for 15 years McGregor said he thought Huron- Bruce might be behind him. "This is a Tory community," he said. "The people ' Work like Tories," He didn't underestimate the task ahead, however, saying Mr. Gaunt is pretty well entrenched and all he clan hope' to do is convince people that he can represent them. Tl BLYTH STANDARD/MAY 11, 1977. PG. 19. Special Pulitzer prize for Roots author Haley BY VONNI LEE The spectacular television set - les, "Roots” derived from the fantastic book of the same name, has earned yet another honor for its writer, Alex Haley, A special Pulitzer Prize has been awarded b Haley for the best selling book about life among the American blacks and the struggle they had b achieve freedom, It was made into a television series and shown cn American 'television, then subsequently in Canada; Like everything else that becomes famous, millions of people are, going to cash in on the fact that Haley bared his soul° in "Roots", His many years of research trying to find the roots of • lis own family, took him to Africa where he claims his ancestor was captured and taken as a slave to America. His success with the book and television series has made many headlines in the country and Africa expects to run a thriving tourist business this summer because of it. It seems nothing can remain sacred anymore, Haley, we believe, was, not meaning to write or ' be a sensation with "Roots". What he wanted to do was find himself in a history of people. He wrote a fantastic story and the entertain- ment world saw it as just that, entertainment. It has .'won him more fame and honor than he could have dreamed, but he has no doubt received more satisfac- tion in the fact that he has found more meaning of life as he traced it back to years when his people cid not really live, but only existed. Haley's book 'has also received a special National Book Award dtation for excellence. No doubt many television awards' are fathcoming for a series which has caused more stir in the television world that anything snce, the medium was born. .April 17, 1977,.will go down in history with other important dates h the history of CKNX Wingham, This was the day that CKNX FM Stereo 102 was born and opened its eyes to a new life in Western Ontario, For those of you dedicated to Stereo styles, 102 offers a variety of entertainment, from jazz to rock to big bands to baseball.
