County council approves move to standardlot sizes BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Part of a planning board report to Huron County Council Friday morning in Goderich was tied to one clause in the board of health report, and initiated some discussion among county councillors who were a little dubious about a planning board . recommendation to the board of health that Lot Size Standards as outlined in an amendment to the Official Plan of the County of Huron Planning Area be adopted as firm policy. There was subsequently a suggestion by Dr. Frank Mills, medical officer of health for Huron, that the future might hold some kind of a "central agency" to issue building permits. Members of the land division committee,' the health unit board and the planning board held a joint meeting. earlier to discuss problems that arise over lot sizes when there are requests for severances and building permits. The lot size standards as outlined in amendment no. 9 of the .official plan are; rural residential, 11,250 minimum square footage for a standard subsurface septic tank system and 20,000 minimum square. footage for a raised septic tank system; seasonal residential, 15,000 sq. ft. and 20,000 sq. ft.; hamlets, 15,000 sq. ft. and 20,000 sq. ft.; and villages, 8,500 sq. ft. and.17,000 sq. ft. The minimum width for a lot is 75 ft. County council accepted a recommendat- ion by the health board to make these lot size standards policy across the county. However it was pointed out ,by Dr. Mills that there are existing building lots which are, under the standard sizes and the county will "have to live with them as best • we can". Goderich Township Reeve Gerry Ginn questioned the wisdom' of, issuing building permits for holding tanks instead of proper septic lanks. He said in his municipality recently, one property owner had pumped a holding tank onto the ground.• "We don't like this kind of thing in Goderich Township and I don't suppose they would like it anywhere else' either," said Ginn. "Surely we must get more control somehow." Mills said the health unit discourages the installation of holding tanks, but admitted that in some cases andunder certainconditions, holding tanks are allowed. ':If they are approved by the county health unit, there's not much we can do about withholding the building permit," complained Ginn. Dr. Mills advised Ginn that sometimes it works the other way around - with the municipality issuing the building permit and the county health unit having little choice but to issue a permit for a septic tank system. "Maybe what we're talking about here," observed Dr. Mills, "is a central agency to give out building permits in the future." Tuckersmith Reeve Irwin Sillery said that in I#rucefield there is a lot with an 85 foot frontage, but the owner cannot install a new septic system because' the warm the adjacent property is on the property line and the health regulations require that a septic tank be at least 100 feet away from a well. He said that Brucefield does have a municipal, water supply system, but there is no way to force a property owner to hook intothat supply. ,Dr. Mills conceded that in a case like that, the owner of the well could, under present regulations, hold up building on the next lot indefinitely. Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifeen said in his municipality some lots are under the required standard sized lot. He was told that they will certainly have to be exceptions to the rule for some of these lots now in existence but that in the future, the size for building lots will become standard: across Huron County. WEDNESDAY,. AUGUST 31, 1977. Editorial Church Classified 'Entertainment Pg. 4 Pa. 7 Pg. 13 Pg. 14 New Health Officer named by Huron County Council BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Members of Huron County Council met Friday morning for a brief session and approved the appointment of Dr. Brian J. Lynch as assistant medical officer of health, effective September 2 and as acting MOH effective October 1 for an initial three month period, Dr. Lynch, presently hi private practice in Goderich, will become MOH when he has successfully completed the University of Toronto course in public health. He will succeed Dr. Frank Mills who was also a Goderich physician in private practice before joining the county as acting MOH and obtaining his public health degree through the University- of Toronto. Effective September ' 2, Dr, Lynch's salary will be $32,000 per annum. When he has completed his couse at the U of T sometime during 1978, his salary will be increased to $36,000 per annum, His salary for 1979. then, will be negotiated with other county department head salaries, in accordance with county policy. Dr. Lynch has agreed to remain as MOH in Huron for a period of five years and will enter into a five-year agreement with 'the „county, The agreement expires December 31, 1982, and is renewable after that time. The Board of Health, chaired by William J, Dale of Seaforth, interviewed Dr. Lynch . and made the recommendation for his services to county council Friday morning. It is usual procedure that the committee make its decision concerning a department head, finalize all of the details with the successful candidate and then take the matter to county council for final approval. Chairman Dale expressed his concern in this instance that the information about Dr. Lynch's position appeared in the press before county council had approved the matfer. He said he heard the story on the radio twice the morning of the county council session. "I just don't like this coming out before our meeting," he told council Friday. "It tends to .make rubber stamps of the 45 members of county council:" Goderich Reeve Bill Clifford was even more adament about his feelings that the story should not have been published in the press or broadcast by the electronic media until county council had approved the hiring of Dr. Lynch. "I don't know what action we can take to see that it doesn't happen in the future," said Clifford, "but up with this we will not put, to quote Churchill." The source of the story was not revealed, although Dr, Mills said he was questioned concerning the matter by a reporter who already knew that Dr. Lynch was the likely candidate for the MOH's post. In other business, Mrs. Lorraine Devereaux of Seaforth will become the new nutritionist with the Perth District Health Unit and the Huron County Health Unit. Her salary will be $15,000 per annual her duties will commence this fall. Mrs. Devereaux will work part time in each of the two counties, county council learned. A joint committee on health services for the two counties -recommended the idea of hiring :a fulltime nutritionist and sharing the salary. Dr. Frank Mills, Huron MOH and Dr. Susan Tamblyn, Perth MOH, will work with the secretary -treasurers of the two health units to draft a 'suitable agreement concerning the shared employ- ee. "It just shows we can work together on certain things," said Reeve Dale who expressed his satisfaction about the decision. Reeve Harold Robinson, however, felt hiring a nutritionist was unneccesary. He said few people in Huron and Perth are suffering from malnutrition and felt , the duties of the new employee would have to be carefully, laid out and scrutinized. "The elephant has got his trunk in the door,"'said Robinson who was referring to the much disputed amalgamation of Huron and Perth health_ units. • Construction is progressing rapidly on the new Howson and Howson Ltd. elevator complex Just east of Blyth.

DEAR ANN LANDERS: I attend- ed a workshop sponsored by Planned Parenthood in Decatur, 111., recently. Dr. Henry Gromoll, head of Millikin University's behavioral science department, gave an excellent presentation of sexual myths. I always carry my shorthand notebook along when I go to hear a good speaker, and I'm awfully glad I did. After the lecture was over, I decided Dr. Gromoll's remarks should have wider coverage. I am sending them to you with the hope you will use them in your column. Here are some sexual myths that should be exploded: Writer explodes myths about sex (1) It is important that both partners climax at the same time, (2) There is an ideal or "normal" way to make love. (3) Women have lower sex drives than men. (4) Couples who have a great deal of sex early in their marriage burn themselves out. (5) Intercourse during preg- nancy can be damaging to the baby. (6) Once you have hit meno- pause (both men and women) you are "over the hill." (7) The more notches on the bedpost (frequent sex) the better the marriage. (8) If partners really love each other they won't have any sexual difficulties. The most important point made during the lecture was that successful and fulfilling sexual relations are possible only when people realize they are not making love to one another's organs, Dr. Gromoll said, "You make love to each other's minds -- their brains," Glad I Know Shorthand DEAR GLAD: So am I --and millions of others will be, too. If you go to any other lectures as good as Dr. Gromoll's, please cut me in. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I just read the letter from the man who was married to a woman who beat him up. It made me decide to write to you for the first time, although I have read your column for several years. 1 am going with a very nice woman. Mamie (fake name) is large, not fat, well built, nicely proportioned and she excels in several sports. We have wrestled a few times (just for fun) and then • it turned into a showdown of strength. She has always won -- much to my embarrassment. Now I have the uneasy feeling that if • Mamie wanted to, she could make mincemeat out of me. No man likes to admit to himself that the woman he- loves could beat the daylights out of him, My fiance is even-tempered and we get along well together. 1 am not fearful that she would ever hit me, but just knowing she is physically stronger than I am makes me wonder if I should marry her. Please advise. —Dor- chester Muscle Problem DEAR •DORCH: Many wives could make mincement out of their husbands -. but they don't because it would never occur to them to use physical force to settle an argument. Mamie sounds like a good person. If she has never slugged you in anger during courtship, chances are she's a safe bet for the long haul --provided, of course, you don't slug her. *** Can drugs be a friend in time of stress?

In 1958, Elvis was called to serve Uncle Sam, About the same time, his world fell'apart with the death of his mother; the beautiful mansion, Graceland, which was home to the Presley family, was bought for her and was a far cry from the little two -room house where Gladys gave birth to her son, In Germany where he served with the armed forces, he met a pretty little fan one night. Her father, an American, was also serving overseas, and Priscilla Beaulieu was half a world away from the excitement this young soldier had generated in America. They became close friends but she was too young for dates and the relationship ended there. After his two-year stint in the army, he returned to. Hollywood stardom. None of his movies was great but he packed the theatres. All he had to do was sing one love 'song. Different from all the other Hollywood stars, Presley prefer-. red quiet evenings at home with a small circle of friends, to the parties that placed him before the cameras. Time off was spent home in Memphis with his family. Linked ' with many Hollywood beauties, he crashed many hopes when in 1968, he married the little girl he had met in Germany, Priscilla, Lisa Marie made the union complete. Elvis was devoted to his family --there was never any question about that. But he was busy, away much of the time, She had married a star and at first It seemed to be the life she wanted -impeccably dressed, wearing tons of makeup, nails exquisitely manicured, hair sprayed into perfect coiffures - she looked beautiful, but seldom happy. Lisa was protected from fans, press and public, so her childhood would be normal. When she was five, her parents were divorced, though amicably, and Lisa stayed in the west with her mother who opened a fashion boutique' in partnership with a friend. Neither partner had any lharsh words about the other; they had simply outgrown each other and drifted apart. In the years that followed, 1 suppose you could say Elvis let his fans down a little. His public appearances became more and more infrequent, his recordings few and far between. Behind the gates of Graceland, he lived a quiet life. But always he remained loyal to his friends. On a whim, he would have a brand new car delivered to someone's gate, simply because he wanted to. When he did work, he worked hard and illness forced him to slow down, a few times landing him in hospital. Last week he didn't make it, At the same age as was his mother when she was claimed by the Pale Rider, Elvis Presley left Grace - land for the last time. There were tears....so many tears....but to- day's teenagers don't under- stand, They are so fickle....they will never remain loyal for 20 years. Emotional fans came from great distances to cry at Grace - land's gates; ' those who really cared stayed home and remem- bered, Was he really 42? Has it really been 20 years?

Ontario and other provinces are adopting it under a Canada - wide plan approved by Metric Commission Canada. Speed limits are measured in kilometres per hour (km/h). Dis- tances are measured in kilometres (km) and metres (m). One metre is approximately the • length of a long stride. One kilometre is 1000 metres or 5/8,mile (0.625). (One mile =1.6 km ) An easy way to familiarize yourself with kilometres is to consider the time factors involved—for example, 80 km (50 miles) would take about 1 hour to drive at a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Study the signs shown here and • you'll get the picture quickly. To learn the system faster, "think metric"—don't convert back to the old Imperial unit of miles.

The Premiers, and Prime Minister Trudeau sounded very righteous when they stood up and said that the language rights of Canadians were not negotiable, but they'd better do more than sound good if they're going to hold the country together. Levesque may just have found the issue he wanted in order to win his referendum on independence when the premiers made their gallant stand, How may Quebecers, one wonders, will wonder if Quebec isn't right in his belief that the only answer for Quebec is separation from the rest of Canada after the goings on at the conference. The other premiers may have been right in their stand, but they're also pretty hypocritical. They're refusing to negotiate with Quebec because they say the rights of the English minority in Quebec are not something to be bargained with, but a right given to them in the constitution. Yet the same rights are denied French Canadians in most of the provinces opposing Levesque and in some, such as Manitoba, those rights were taken away by legislation much like the recently approved Bill 101 in Quebec. Former Post Master General Bryce Mackasey pressimistically predicted on Monday that the referendum would be won by Levesque because the rights of Canadians are not enshrined strongly enough in the consituation. There must be a new constitution, he said, that will prevent the rights of Canadians from being swept away by actions of a provincial government. What Mr. Mackasey seems to be pointing out is that the solution some have proposed to the present crisis might work in the short term but would be the ruination in the long term. Joe Clark and other have said that the answer to Quebec's crisis is to shift more and more power away from Ottawa to the provinces. Yet this could be the most dangerous thing ever to happen to the country. It would open the way for more and more incidents such as Bill 101 or the Manitoba act at the turn of the century which stripped French Canadians there of their language rights. It would lead more and more to Canada becoming a loose federation of 10 countries rather than one nation with 10 provinces. We need strong central government. We need to say no to Levesque's schemes like his language rights gambit but at the same time we need to make sure Quebecers see that they, too, will have language rights when they move to Ontario or Saskatchewan. Only then do we 'have a hope of holding the country together. The consumer movement is good, but it must also be fair The depressed price of wheat in the United States was the subject of an item on the television news the other night. The reporter said that the flooded market for wheat and the bumper crops in the U.S. would mean that farmer would need a government -subsidized floor price in the U.S. next year. A government program to get farmers to cut back their planting next spring would determine "how much the program would cost the American coniumer", the reporter said. Now the consumer movement has had many positive affects in North America in the past few years but it's getting downright sickening to listen to the complaints that arise from consumer groups over the stupidest things. In a capitalist, consumer -oriented society everything naturally is going to cost the consumer, otherwise there would be no one buying the product and it wouldn't be produced in the first place. Thus, the consumer is going to pay no matter what happens to the price of wheat. If the price goes up, the consumer groups will squeal because the price of bread, etc. goes up. If the price goes down, down to below the break even point for farmers there are two possibilities: the farmers will go broke therefore creating a shortage and driving the price up again, or, the government will step in with stabilization aid to keep the farmers in business, thereby again costing the consumer money. You don't get something for nothing and you can't expect producers , to produce any commodity at cost or below cost, You don't expect postal workers to deliver the mail for no salary to keep the cost of postage stamps down. You don't expect secretaries to type letters for free to keep the cost of running a company making refrigerators low so that the refrigerators can sell for less. Therefore why do you expect farmers to work for nothing and squeel when they get a subsidy to keep them in business? The consumer movement is important, but it must also be fair if it is to remain an important and believable movement. An old Tamp BY KEITH ROULSTON So many things are constantly changing in this world that we tend to hold on to the things that seem stable. It brings sadness then when some of the things we take for granted change too, even though we know they must. That's the kind of feeling we had when we heard a while ago that old friend Jim Swan was going to be leaving his post at CKNX radio to move down the road to a CFPL radio show. Jim's been part of the life of the local population for so long that you kind of take it for granted that he'll be there on the radio when you turn it on in the morning. I know reasonably that there shouldn't be much saddness about the change. After all, it's a chance for Jim to move on to something challenging and we all need challenge, particularly in a creative business like his. There is no room for someone who just goes through the motions. Then too, we've really not losing Jim since he'll still be living in the area and he'll still have a weekly radio show on the local station. Yet he won't be there every morning and somehow the morning will be a little different. If Jim was just an ordinary radio announcer we'd quickly get used to having a new voice in the mornings to tell us about the r:eather etc. But Jim Swan was a heck of a lot more Than just a set � im's .leaving leaves a big hole in the mornings of tonsils, In a way he personified what Doc Cruickshank has in mind as he built CKNX over the years into a real "community" radio station. He probably knew more people personally in West- ern Ontario than any other single individually. His job called for him to be on air from six in the morning until nine, but his working day was much, much longer. He initiated so many things on the station that brought community awareness to the airwaves. He brought the feeling to people that they might live in Kincardine, or Teeswater, or Listowel, or Blyth, but they were all in it together, that they were all a part of one community. We've heard so much about regionalism in recent years that it's become something of a dirty word but the kind of regionalism' that Jim Swan 'preached was the way regionalism really should be. He taught us that we should all be proud of our own specific town or village but that we should also see ourselves as citizens of a wider community. If there is a good museum in Goderich; say, it is an asset to the whole region and should be thought of as belonging to the whole region. It's the same with theatre in Blyth or Grand Bend or a special summer festival in Harriston or any other event or institution of note. You could call what Jim Swan did boosterism, and I suppose it was. He taught us that we don't have to take a back seat to anyone, when it comes to an interesting lifestyle. He drilled it into us every morning for years that life in Western Ontario was exciting. He gave people a new pride . in being from Western Ontario, a positive feeling that there's was the good life, not that they were being left out of the really important things that happen in cities like Toronto. From a strictly professional standpoint, Jim's show as it evloved, particularly in the last couple of years, proved that people will listen to more than just middle-of-the-road music. More and more his show moved away from music and into information with the usual assort- ment of news, weather and sports and with interviews with interest- ing Western Ontario people. He did, on a small budget and for a small pay, what CBC and other big-time operations have so often failed -miserably at do huge budgets: he entertained and informed people at the same time, Yes, we'll miss Jim in the mornings but hopefully he'll be able to achieve all he wants in his new job, to spread the message of what a fascinating area we live in even further by the big -powered signal of London television. We can only wish him all the best. Theatre Passe Muraille rehearsals cause curiousity in Seaforth FROM THE HURON EXPOSITOR What's going on at the Curling Club? Anyone who wandered into the building across from Sea- forth's arena would certainly want an answer to that question. Five or six young people are reading selections from Shakes- peare's Midsummer Night's Dream, A young man is playing music on a portable organ in the background, Another man with a long grey beard and curly hair is closely watching the action and lets out chortles and groans according to his reaction to what is going on. . Suddenly the scene changes from a Stratford Festival style rendering of Shakespeare's clas- sic to a group of local people, discussing the play they are planning for a centennial celebra-, tion. It's simple really, and very demanding work that's going on at the curling club every weekpay from nine or ten until four, Theatre Passe Muraille, under the direction of Listowel native, Paul Thompson (a "grandfather of the theatre" he says in a creaky old voice) is putting together a play. There's.no script as such, The people who brought us The Farm Show, created several years ago. during a stay in the Clinton area, are "writing" a new play, based in Seaforth, that draws on local roots and experiences. They're working it out as they go along and their concentration -and dedication shows even the casual observer that it's very hard work. Paul Thompson says may Canadians feel like "misfits" in the regular established theatre. That's because actors and audi- ences have to pretend to be. what they aren't in order to get involved in plays that come from somewhere else. "It's even more confusing when we have to pretend that our cultural bas is somewhere else", he says, referring to Stratford's mannered English style of production. Thompson and TPM are trying "to see what we can do with what we are," he says. He's got nothing against Shakespeare. "He has great stories, the characters, even the words are good" but the TPM group want to translate one of the great stories, Midsummer (",All:. with all your heart...

The play focusses on John Bottom, a local farm implement dealer, played by Ted Johns, and a small group of "Seaforth" peole who are planning a play as part of the town's centennial celebra- tions, The play inside a play is going to bear some resemblance to Midsummer Night's Dream, I think. "It won't be all Greek to you," Paul Thompson promises. Centennials are really import- ant to Canadian culture, Paul believes. They're an excuse . to enjoy things like theatre, music, dancing, entertainment "things we're not supposed to enjoy", he. jokes. At centennial time too, you "see sides of people you don't normally see", people you spend your lives with in small towns, people like the TPM actors are trying to portray. Yup, the Centennial is an underrated cultural catalyst, he says with mock seriousness, TPM's style of theatre de- mands a lot from actors. "It's important to have people who are able to observe real situations accurately," the director says. The TPM people have been living, and observing, in Seaforth since early in July and will be rehearsing in their rented curling club space until August 21. Many of them are living at the Commercial Hotel, Paul Thomp- son and his family are in a farm house near Brussels. Ted Johns, his wife Janet Amos who directed The Blyth Memorial History Show this summer and new born son are renting a house in Stanley Township, All of the actors, except Alan Brydle from Toronto, have lived and worked in small towns, Connie Kalder and Linda Griffith in Saskatchewan,. veterans Ted Johns and David Fox in Ontario and Donna Butt in Newfound- land. "It's a whole new world for him, Brydle" Thompson says. Canadians have an easier time working on a play that draws on Canadian roots, An American actor left the company after they started work in Seaforth because things didn't really make sense to him. He was lost and "had trouble digging into the local community", the director says. Local people have more of a THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 31, 1977. PG. S. sense of geography, of what it is to be Canadian than Toronto people . do, Paul Thompson things. Toronto is pre -occupied with American type fads, current- ly the Blue Jays baseball team, TPM will have to fight to get an audience when they take their Seaforth play to Toronto, the director says, because Canadian plays aren't "in" any more, the city is on an Americanizing binge. "Everybody is so happy about having a team that is last in the American League. The enthusi- asm about that is really crazy," he says. Seaforth and area people will probably be able to see the play at the end of the summer before the cast goes to Toronto to refine what they are doing, perform there and then go on across Canada tour, but arrangements aren't final yet. Back at the rehearsal in the curling club the.group is working out how to do the death scene between two lovers whose fami- lies are trying to keep them apart. "Whoops" says Ted Johns when Paul tells him he's "too powerful, you're supposed to be hurting." The actors provide their own sound effect and John Grey plays eerie tinkling music for the graveyard scene. "That's it, neurotic" Thompson says when Ted comes on more quickly and he's only half kidding, Ted, as Puramus, thinks his girls friend Thisbe has been killed by a lion and he kills himself. "Wait a minute, there are no lions around here", somebody says as Seaforth really interrupts Shakespeare. There follows a discussion about realistic violent death, "A car accident .,, cars are the lions of our time," someone suggests. The girl could be killed in a farm accident, someone else suggests that Bottom, the implement dealer objects"farm machinery is not going to be the villain in this play," "It could do your business good. You could say you got combines that don't attack people", another member of the centennial committee puts in . "All I can say is this running around in a cemetery is not going to go over", says Ted Johns as Bottom and the cast goes on struggling to bring Shakespeare and Seaforth close to each other. At 4 P.M. the group recesses for the day. The director has to go pik up his kids at Seaforth's Snoopy Summer School. The show is expected to be at Memorial Hall in October. ems II .1111kler MLIk • • BLADE ROASTSSave 20c Ib.99c Ib. SHORT • RIB ROASTS Reg. $1.09 Ib.. 89c Ib. ROUND BONE SHOULDER.

CECILE MARQUETTE CHURCH OF GOD AT BLYTH "1 Beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Rom. 12:1, Sacrifice is a word often used in the Old Testament which was often an animal sacrificed to God for the remission of sins. The sacrifice made to God was the best they had it was without spot or blemish, it never consisted of what was left over but always the first fruits were offered, In Romans, Paul is beseeching us to present our bodies to God as a living sacrifice not a dead one as in Old Testament Times, but a living sacrifice. We are to present our bodies to Christ that he may do with us as He wished, We need to do this now before it is too late while we still have the first fruits and not just the left overs. Then we can be living, alive, excited about the God who lives within us. Our sacrifice does not end there as the Old Testament sacrifice was withoutspot or wrinkle so we must be holy and acceptable unto God. The only way we cab be holy and acceptable unto God is to let him search us and cleanse us of all sin and unrighteousness. When we have done this we have completed our reasonable service unto God nothing more nothing less. Warble fly treatment will save you money. Both beef and dairy producers should treat cattle for warbles this fall, says Ralph Macartney, beef specialist for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. The treatment, which costs 25 to 50 cents per head, will prevent large financial losses to beef and dairy producers. Warble flies lay their eggs on the legs of cattle during the summer months and the larvae migrate up in the backline of the animal durine the winter. "The resulting damage in beef cattle is twofold," says Mr. Macartney. 'The larvae form cysts in the fat of the carcass Theatre to tour new play Paul Thompson, Artistic Direc- tor of Theatre Passe Muraille, will direct Shakespeare For Fun And Profit • A Canadian Dream which will, play in the Theatre of the St. Lawrence Centre in Toronto prior to an Ontario tour in October and engagements across Canada, This colorful, lively show with a' splash of language, farce and folk comedy will incorporate approxi - Mately 65 percent of the original • text of William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The TPM company will transform the location to a sleepy Ontario town and prove that even Canadians are: "such things as dreams and plays are made of," The story follows one John Bottom who decides there's a profit to be made in culture and promptly applies for a Wintario grant to produce a play that will "not only astound the nobles but delight anyone who has the courage to attend. No one has a hamrperlock on culture," he declares, "not even rude mechan- leafs like myself and my friends," The TPM company who origin- ally brought The Farm Show, 1837, and I Love You Baby Blue to the stage is currently rehearsing the collective creation in Seaforth. John Gray who provided the music for 1837 will compose the score for this production being designed by Warren Hartmann. Performances run from Sep- tember 21 to October 1 in the Theatre of the St. Lawrence Centre in Toronto. Curtain time is 8:00 p.m. and tickets are priced from $7.50 to $2.00. Reservations can be made bycalling the box office -at 366-7723. which must be trimmed off at processing plants. This results in reduced carcass weight. "The larvae also bore holes through the hide of the animal, This devalues the price of the hide," The time to treat beef and growing beef cattle is from September to November, while the larvae .are still in the lower portions of the animal's body. Since 95 percent of warbles are found in cattle under two -years of age, Mr. Macartney says dairy producers would be wise to treat their heifers, Treated cattle can gain up to one quarter pounds more per day. They will also bring higher prices the following spring because they are free of warbles.' Warble control products avail- able at farm supply centres will also reduce lice problems in cattle. Of the 20,000 beef cattle slaughtered weekly in Ontario last spring, 10,000 were affected by warbles. At an average loss of 10 pounds weight per carcass, this resulted in a weekly. loss of 100,000 pounds. THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 31, 1977. PG, 7. 1977 wheat crop yeilds The 1977 Ontario winter wheat harvest has been completed with a near -record production volume being established, Mr. Irving Kleiman, R.R.1, Simcoe, chairman of the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board, said yields per acre over most of the province's 35 counties reached levels much higher than earlier anticipated and in some instances established record levels. He said it would appear from early reports that the average yield per acre will be in excess of 50 bushels per acre, reaching as high .as 100 bushels per acre in some areas, The estimated harvested acre- age for 1977 crop has been placed at 590,000, some 70,000 acres more than last year. The board chairman said the total crop will probably exceed 29 million bushels, or 789 250 tonne, which will be the largest volume reached since 1950 at 30 million bushels. , Mr. Kleiman said the increased volume is reflected in producer sales recorded to date by the board, which are approximately 24 million bushels or 653,000 tonne, up about 136,000 tonne over the same period last year. The marketing board has felt the pressures of the increased volume in moving stocks into export position and terminal storage. Mr. Kleiman said storage space is being utilized from Georgian Bay facilities through the St, Lawrence Seaway and east coast elevators, with about 443 000 tonne or 16,000,000 bushels in store at the present time, He said most of the country elevator storage facilities are also .

KELLER Bill Clifford, chairman of the planning board for Huron County Council, told council members Friday in Goderich his committee believes the executive committee should review the policy of county personnel attending conference outside the province of Ontario, for the purpose of clarification and the establishments of firm guidelines. The planning department has authorized Roman Ozus of the county planning department to attend the Canadian Conference on Public Participation which is to be held in connection with the University of Alberta in Banff. In making the recommendation Ito council, Clifford said some O.F.A. disturbed over Hydro's lack of hearings "It is with great concern that the farmers of Ontario received word this week that the massive Darlington nuclear . generating station project is to be exempted from. the review procedure outlined in the Environmental Assessment Act", said Peter Hannam, President of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. "This is one of the largest projects ever undertaken by Ontario Hydro and will cost over five million dollars. A project of this magnitude must be subjected to the most searching public' scrutiny", explained Mr. Han- nam. "The Government's behaviour through this entire matter has been something Tess than open", Mr. Hannam pointed out.

The recommendation was approved by county council. According to deputy -clerk trea- surer Bill Alcock, the executive committee meets mid-September and possibley could have a look at the policy before the next regular council meeting. Also for the September session is the position paper of the Association of Counties and Regions of Ontario (ACRO) on the report of the commission on the reform of property taxation. Each county councillor will have a copy of this position paper for study from now until the September meeting when it will be discuss- ed. Warden Doug McNeil and the clerk -treasurer Bill Hanly were authorized to draw up and sign a suitable contract with Kim Ainslie, public management con- sultant, to investigate and make recommendations on the organiz- ation, functions and financing of health services in Huron County.

The machine will be so efficiently designed that it will eequire only one human operator. Moreover, the operator will require absolutely no skills; any one of the billions of humans will be able to master the machine within a matter of seconds. Then the politicians will get into the act, granting the operator the right to strike. The unions will insist on - and get - exclusive operating rights for that one individual. So, if the operator isn't happy with his working conditions,. the entire world will grind to a halt. Crazy? Of course, Impossible? Not at all; in fact, something similar has happened to our public services in the past decade, The air traffic controllers grounded the entire country - including hundreds of thousands of travellers and fantastic a- mounts of business mail, Even that is of little importance compared to what the inside postal workers are planning for Christmas. There's incipient idiocy in our labour laws, Any block of workers, given responsibility for a function with enough economic or safety importance, can cripple the nation, In return for sacrificing a couple of weeks' pay the postal workers can bring the economy to its knees. This isn't to say that the workers' case is unjustified. However, there are options for seeing justice done - options which do not cost the workers lost Repairs and Rewinds to ALL makes of motors.

The most popular of the alternative suggestions has long been some form of arbitra tion with settlements related to private sector wage hikes. For several years, the Canadian Federation of Independent Busi- ness, armed with a poll showing support by more than 90 per cent of its membership, has been urging the government to outlaw strikes in essential public ser- vices. The Federation believes that some form of arbitration is far more practical for all concerned. There is, in fact, justification for the belief that much of our labour strife exists because there is an institutional basis • the excessive power of public sector unions - for it to exist. Unfortunately, the federal gov- ernment has failed to recognize the common sense of eliminating essential service strikes, Labour Minister John Munro is on record as opposing • removal of strike rights. The government may be in tune with the labor movement - but it doesn't appreciate the feelings of the vast majority of Canadians who are innocent victims in' any disputes. Surely the government has better things to do than to officially sanction Canada's eco- nomic suicide. In operation for a year and a half, the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism energy bus has visited 314 companies, identifying potential savings of $4.6 million in electric power, $2.02million in heating insula- tion, $5.7 million in waste heat and $6.07 million in water.

Hamrn's Car Sales ;Blyth, Ont. • Phone 523-9581 BY BILL SMILEY A great many people look down their noses at the game of golf, Scornfully they ask: "How can an adult with a mind walk around a few acres of manicured pasture hitting a little white ball with a long stock?" And I am inclined to agree with them, It's a silly game and at least once a week I determine that I'm going to quit smoking, It's a game that reduces strong men to tears of impotent rage and turns honest women into cheats who move their ball from a bad lie when nobody is looking. Even the parlance of the game is ridiculous, combining terms from the butcher shop (hook, slice, shank) with those from an aviary (birdie, eagle) and those from a horror movie (bogey, scull), It's an expensive game. Mem- bership in a club can run from $300 a year to $S,000 or more. Even the basic equipment can easily run to $500 for clubs, cart, bag, shoes, Those who don't belong to a club can pay as you go, 8 or $10 a round, and add to that three $2 balls lost in the bush and a couple of drinks in the club house muttering at a little ball, pursuing a little ball, and occasionally hitting that little ball so sweetly that nothing can quite compare with the feeling, and you are hooked all over again on this silliest of sports. Come to think of it, golf isn't a sport, any more than chess is, It's more like a way of life.

For a teenager, once bitten by the bug, it's like a disease. But a kid who has played 27 or 36 holes of golf on a Saturday is not very likely to be out smashing windows in the local school on Saturday night. He's too pooped. For the old-timer who plays nine holes every day with his foursome of cronies, .it's a lot better life than sitting around the Legion Hall or the beverage room grousing about the government. He still has a challenge. He knows perfectly well that one of these days, if the wind is right, his arthritis isn't acting up, and the dam' club will connect with the dam' ball often enough, he can bring his score down equal to his age, An 80 -year old can still play golf and enjoy it, but you don't sec too many of them surf -board- ing or parachute jumping. Of course, it's an evil game. I've heard it rumored that there is sometimes betting involved, especially among the older guys, sometimes staggering wagers of as much as a nickel a hole, And then, of course, it's a dangerous game, physically, emotionally and psychologically. You can be thumped on the head by a golf ball travelling about 300 miles an hour. You can be struck by lightning right at the. top of your backswing, if it's storming, Some golfers have gone into sand traps and never been seen again. Emotionally, it can turn a calm college professor, the epitome of reason, into a raging maniac who is capable of throwing all his clubs into a water hazard and stalking from the course, purple - eared, I have seen one of the sweetest'natured chaps I've ever known, after hitting the ,ball 'three yards three times in a row, put his foot in the middle of a perfectly good four wood, bend it double, and hurl the crippled biub deep into the nearest woods. I have heard a poised young matron, a regular churchgoer, using langu- age on the golf course that would curdle the blood of a drunken Danish seaman. And if the game doesn't scar you physically and/or emotional- ly, it will probably destroy you psychologically. There are 40 people watching as you take your three practice swings, each one a marvel of symmetry, a machine that is grooved and oiled. You step up to the ball and hit it 60 yards straight up and 20 feet ahead of you. Or right over the fence on to the road. Or straight into the woods. While the gallery snickers discreetly and you desperately try to grin noncha- lantly. It can get worse! Your wife, whom you can outdrive by 60 yards, steps up and hits a beauty right down the middle, and then gives you one of those looks. Marriages may be • made in heaven, but they can become unmade on a golf course.

They wouldn't think of walking to church in the rain, but they'll play 18 holes in a torrent.- On sultry summer days when people are dropping with heat stroke, and on cold fall days when people are huddled by the fireplace, the golfers are out there, hacking and hewing around the course. Well, there you are, The game is silly, expensive, evil, and dangerous. Golfers run the risk of being scarred for life in one or more ways and should be locked up for their own safety, I'm definitely going to quit.

THE BLYTH STANDARD/AUGUST 31, 1977. Children's Aid Society gets new name After September 1, 1977, The Children's Aid Society shall be known as The Family and Children's Services of Huron County. The social work agency, which has served children and families for over 65 years, has slowly changed its primary focus of work, At one time the agency was mainly concerned with providing shelter for unwanted and depriv- ed children. The agency now stresses helping, strengthening and assisting families in their task of raising . children in. this modern world. Many parents encounter difficulties in the vital task of O.F.A. wants separate farm safety regulations "Agriculture is a unique industry and it needs its own set of health and safety regulations" said Peter Hannam, President of the Ontario Federation of Agricul- ture today. OFA, along with the Ontario Farm Safety Association and the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association, presented a brief to the Ministry of Labour Thursday, Aug. 25• -concerning the Omnibus Bill on Occupational Health and Safety. Mr. Hannam, acting as spokes- man for the three farm groups, pointed out that, "Farm work is unlike that in any other industry. Not only is it seasonal and always subject to weather, but there are 77,000 different work places and 77,000 different work environ- ments. "As an alternative, OFA, O.F.S.A. and O.F. & V.G.A. suggest that agriculture should be covered only by regulations under the Bill. Such regulations should be developed by farm groups in conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Workmen's Compensation Board. "A new approach to occup- ational safety must be taken by the Ministry in developing regulations establishing stand- ards for the guarding and shielding of the operator and personal safety devices. Regula- tions covering standards of design of new machines and personal protective equipment with exemptions under certain specified circumstances is where we must begin. "The farm community is sure that this is the right way to achieve occupational health and safety among agricultural work- ers. We trust that the Ministry will explore our suggestions fully and support them", Mr. Hannam concluded. raising children in a rapidly changing world and parents have few places to turn for confiden- tial, professional advice. The Family and Children's Services of Huron County, based in Goderich, assists many fami- lies cope with a wide variety of family difficulties. The family evolves through a number of different stages and problems can occur at any stage, for any family. The Family and Children's Services offer counselling for marriages, parents, children or the entire family. Families with children who tantrum frequently, . are hyperactive, disobedient, sad, withdrawn, lazy, delinquent, or, fOr any other reason, are hard for the parents to manage, are helped by the social work staff of the agency, Often problems can be resolved very quickly with proffesional help. The ' Family and Children's Services of Huron County will continue the services, previously offered by The Children's Aid Society: these include marriage and family counselling, parent education and child behaviour management counselling, ser- vices to adolescents and their families, programmes preventing family breakdown and protecting children, child abuse pro- grammes, foster care and specia- lized care for children and adolescents, counselling for un- married parents, adoption servic- es and a wide variety of community service programmes. Letter to the editor, Special night planned for Roy Jewell DEAR FRIEND, As you know, Mr. Roy Jewell of CFPL Radio and Television, has recently retired after serving the agricultural community for 29 years.

Johns is delightful as Elmer Clark, the farmer who refuses to succumb to other people's whims a§ to what he should be doing with his farm in the way of mechanization and government regulations and as a matter of protest continues to stay in the barn. His portrayal of the farmer who appears simple-minded but ob- viously isn't is beautiful. The play itself is a satirical comedy and its simplicity is its beauty as it is also a comment on the present situation of the Amish only too happy when the publicity from Elmer's act reflects on herself and she becomes in great demand for television and radio interviews. Ken Parnell as Gustaf Van Eyck, the neighbouring farmer gives a hilarious comedy perfor- mance as a farmer who appears to have gone insane with all the things that have gone wrong with his farm and then with an about face asks Elmer how much he wants for his farm. Alan Bridle is good as the veterinarian who offers a free government service of checking on the cows but whose new farmers who are being forced by , methods of checking. the cow's government regulations to con- health seem a bit unorthodox. Good supporting performances are also turned in by David Fox as Elmer's son Lee who wants his father .to convert toautomation for the sake of efficiency and Connie Kaldor as the teenage girl who had decided that Elmer's is the right way of getting away from the world's problems until she realizes that taking a stand like his would make her an adult and she isn't ready for that yet. Set designer Bob Pearson has gone to a lot of trouble to make the barn setting look realistic and his effort shows with the barn door, the steps supposedly leading upstairs and the various farm implements scattered a- round, Director Paul Thompson has kept things effectively fast -paced in this play about an unlikely , rebel who shows what can happen if you take a stand for what you, believe in. The play will continue at the Blyth Memorial Hall until Sep- tember 3, Victoria.

Huron'sprogram so FROM THE CLINTON NEWS•RECORD ' If your recently canned peaches start to turn a strange . colour or the seams on the outfit you're making decide to pucker, Grace Bird and Bea McClenaghan may have the answers to your problems. Miss Bird and Miss McClenag- ham are the new home econo- mists for Huron County and are usually on hand in the Clinton Agricultural Office to answer large it needs questions from homemaxers, However, the two young ladies hope to solve problems before they arise, by organizing 4-H groups throughout the county, dealing with Women's Institute clubs, and acting as consultants and demonstrators for other programs. Miss Bird began her duties as Huron's home economist on August 8. She is a recent graduate from the University of Guelph where she studied Family and Consumer Studies. Prior to her move to Clinton she spent three weeks in an orientation , program where she visited a number of Ontario places and the home economists there. Miss Bird is not a newcomer to a rural area. She was raised on a dairy farm near Georgetown and has completed 17, 4•H projects in homemaking and agricultural club work. She is interested in dealing with the young girls in the clubs and especially working with crafts, flower arranging and needlework, Miss McClenaghan has lived from Whitechurch to the Mus- •koka area in rural areas and small villages so she has easily adapted to the Clinton way of life•, "Clinton's a nice little town, it's quiet and it's . rural," explained Miss McClenaghan. Miss McClenaghan began 'work on July 27 and has previous experience as a home economist, Along with graduating' from the . University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Home Economics degree,' Miss McClenaghan has worked in that field for Ontario and York. Counties. For their first assignment the two economists are in the process of 'arranging the 4-H leaders training schools which will be— conducted e—conducted from August 15 to September 17, The schools will involve two day sessions with leaders throughout the county to given them an idea what the club involves and also provide demon- strations. This fall's project is called "Featuring Fruit", It will involve different ways of serving fruit and will focus heavily on Ontario grown fruits with some time spent on exotic fruits; how to buy them; selection; use of canned fruits; pie making and pastry will highlight the project, . Along with keeping in contact with some .100 clubs in the county, the home economists also work with other ladies groups. They plan to attend WI area meetings and often act as speakers and also help to organize county food and clothing programs. "Even if the ladies on Mary Captain Peckitt, a native of Blyth and now a Navigator at 436 Squadron in Trenton, Ontario, is seen receiving the Canadian Forces First Clasp to the Canadian Decoration for 22 years of exemplary service in the Canadian Armed Forces.

"It's because It's so rural, There aren't many other groups, so that's why 4-H is so popular," added Miss Bird. Although both girls are still getting acquatined with this area, they, along with the ministry feel there may be a need for programs to involve the 20-30 year old women, .Nothing has been decid- ed on this, but the ministryis in the process of studing and making changes in Abe present programs. "We're still getting our feet on the ground but maybe by next spring we'll . find areas to co ncentrate on," explained Miss Bird, "Maybe then we can given some time for extra help in groups and special activitiesthey would like to start," explained Miss McClenaghan. The home economists are hopeing • for lots of active involvement and participation from the girls and the women in the county, They haven't had a chance to meet many of the people they will be dealing with but will be as 'soon as the 4-N clubs get underway. Miss McClenaghan noted, "We haven't been over burnded with calls yet, maybe people don't know that we're here. However, in the upcoming weeks and months; the new economists should be leading very busy lives throughout Huron County. Let Uscheck your exhaust.
