Board of trade.
Wants
dentist
A dentist for Blyth was on the
Blyth Board of Trade agenda of
things to get for Blyth to make the
village a better place to live.
At a dinner and general
meeting at the Blyth Inn, Monday
evening, Board. of Trade
members selected a committee to
look into attracting a dentist for
.Blyth,. Peter Reinsma, Don
Scrimgeour and Janice Vodden
are to look into the possibilities.
A motion was passed that the
board of trade support the
monthly Blyth Centre for the Arts
kiddie films with $25, to cover the
deficit. It was also suggested by
members that the board of trade
advertise these/ films so that all
the children in the area are
aware and attend the films
presented in Blyth Memorial
Hall.
President Joe Chatterton has
received calls concerning the
possibility of another bank in
Blyth, After much discussion the
group felt another bank was
unwarranted and that Blyth did
not have enough business to
attract another bank.
The board of trade is to request
council to supply 2 -hour limit
barking signs for the business
area. It was pointed out that store
merchants are using parking
space along the main street and
this makes less space for paying
customers,
Some days travellers leave
their vehicles on the main street
and are there for days on end.
There is no enforcement for the
time limit. it was still the overall
consent that signs signalling a
time limit would be beneficial.
A letter is to be sent to clerk
Larry Walsh concerning reinsta-
ting a tree planting program that
was dropped 9 years ago. Every
year 20 trees in Blyth are
destroyed and no replacements
are made,
An ad is to be placed in the
Blyth Standard concerning the
summer store h ours.
Plans were suggested as to
what Blyth can do about the
International Plowing Match to be
held just east of Wingham.
There will be plenty of traffic
goi ng through Blyth and it was
suggested that the merchants
have a sidewalk days sale to
attract travellers.
Brock Vodden told members
that display space at the Plowing
Match would cost a minimum of
$270 for an 18 foot wide space. It
was pointd out that Blyth should
try and stop shoppers in Blyth
rather than go to the match to
promote the village.
The mat .ter is to be discussed
at the next meeting. It was
reported that there arc 42 paid up.
members of the board.

into flames

Blyth fire officials put out the fire
at the home of Ron Gross, R.R.#1,
Londesboro.
The cause is unknown, Mr,
Gross had just started for
Brussels to pick up a load of pigs
when he noticed the truck was
acting strangely and returned
home. He had just turned off the
engine and gotten out when he
saw flames at the bottom of the
truck.

to put out the fire due to the close
proximity of a gas tank located
beside the truck, No injuries were
reported. Mr. Gross has
insurance but was uncertain of
the amount,

The recent federal budget
offered a special plum for owners
of incorporated family farms.
Effective immediately, the in-
corporated family farm will re-
ceive the same tax break as the
smaller farmer when it comes to
transferring farm properly to sons
or daughters.
Until now, the "Tax-free roll-
over" has applied only to
bonaf ole farmers rather than
incorporated family operations.
Under the new law, the rollover
will co ver transfers to children of
shares and interests in the farm
coporations or partnerships.
The federal budget defined
qualifiers as those corporations or
partnerships carrying on farm
businesses in . Canada who pat
nearly all assets into the bus-
iness, and with one or more
family members actively engaged
in running the farm.
Mike Miller, assistant lig rep
for Huron County, said the new
law will likely affect 100 in-
corporated farms in the county.
1 -le said according to the 1976
census, there were 97 incorporat-
ed farms in Huron County.
Mr, Miller said the new law
niay not be as dramatic a reform
as it seems since many farmers
incorporated their holdings with
the idea of estate planning
anyway.
In addition to the capital gains
tax break, the, budget also
allowed for the transfer of quotas
among partners in .an incorporat-
ed farm.
Mr, Miller said the quota
transfer may prove even more
significant than the tax breaks.
'-le said currently quotas are
essentially given to one person.
Mr, Miller said the question
facing farmers now is whether the
quota transfer will be a one-shot
deal or whether it can be used
again.
Fot' example, can a farmer give
his son one-third of his .milk quota
now and oar.-fhirrl Einar with the

Mourning the loss of 14 candy
(By Rhea Hamilton]
With all the talk of nutritious
fends and vitamins there are still
a few of us who choose to cat
candy. But the day of cheap good
tasting candy is quickly coming to_
a close at least for those of us who
have good candy taste,
Now you niay think i have not
been around long enough to see
►uay change in the candy market,
but the changes conk rapidly and
without care. Hot and fast, new
items are developed to attract the
sweet toothes. When 1 was little
the big treat of the week was
]ring given a dime to go to the
garage across from nay
gr'andmother's when we were in
town once a week to shop.
Then you could buy a chocolate
bar, or guns with baseball or
monster cards in them. Jawb-
breakcrs were still only 1 c.
With the increase in the price
of chocolate and sugar it came
without saying, that the candy
casts would rise as well as
everything else,
13c1'ore they, the manufac-
turers, raised prices they
decreased the size of the candy
bars. But the inevitable came
about and the price of a candy bar
has increased from the 10c we are
all familiar with to the 30c we
shake our heads over now.
Even the day of the lc jaw
breakers has passed to another
C111. They too suffered a 100%
increase and are now priced at 2c.
Even licorice ' costs more
pennies (if pennies are still used
.... most kids ask for dimes or
quarters when they are out to get
"n treat under their tongues) and
the taste of the products are not
as good as they once were. But
then there is the theory that
nothing is as good as it was when
you were a y oungster and never
will be.
That's the fascination of
history. The past becomes softer
with time and the bad times in a
lot of cases are shadowed by the
good limes, Maybe times docs
heal.
But back to the candy situation.
i know it is not good for you but
fon' anyone who was raised with a
special sweet for when they were
good it is really hard to grow out'
of 'longing for that special
something.
They have new candies out now
that must surely fascinate the
lads today. There are tiny crystals
which when put under your
tongue give an exploding
sensation which also echoes in
your cars. Amazing eh? Make
fou wonder if the explosions
cause temporary deafness after a
long period of use.
Even the sin of bubble gum
chewing can not be bought
cheaply since you can't buy gum
I'm under 2c. There is still the one
cent bubble guns but it conies in a
package of five for five cents.
So there you arc. The candy of
today is much better displayed
and better promoted with
commercials on the 'i'V. But
maybe in the not too distant
future the whole mess of tooth
decaying nonsense will fade away
as the natural health addicts take
over,

Mr. Miller said farmers will
have to wait and sec what sort of
provision has been made under
the new law regarding quota
transfers.
Mr, Miller added the capital

farmers who have been consider-
ing incorporation to go ahead with

The censor's job?
It has been ten y ears since the Ontario censor
board raised its head and met challenges and curses.
The film Pretty Baby has been barred by
provincial censors and film critics are opposed to the
Ontario ban. Reviewers praise director Louis Malle's
"sensitive, serious minded exploration not
exploitation" of the screen love affair between a girl
raised in a house of prostitution and real life figure
Ernest Bellocq who was a photographer whose
portraits of prostitutes in New Orleans are now
regarded, 60 years later, as works of art.
The basis for censor's banning of the film is the
theme.
Louis Malle appeared before the Ontario censor
board to question the ban and invited discussion
between board members and himself. The director
says he left the session sadly angered by the
blindness of the board.
The effect playing the part would have had on the
12 year old actress Brooke Shields was raised. But
interview s have shown this mature child was not
offended or mentally damaged by the film she
appeared in and in fact may have had a better
understanding of what the film portrayed than the
reviewing censor board.
The controversy raises several questions about
censorship. When did the censor board get involved
with censoring topics instead of their treatment?
Might there be similar bans on other distasteful
subjects like racism, slavery and incest?
What makes Pretty Baby different from a film like
Taxi Driver which also included a 12 year old
prostitute among its characters and which was
approved by the censors?
Does the head censor see any irony in banning a
film with the credentials of Pretty Baby while
accepting skin flicks with titles like Sex with the
Devil anti Massage Parlor Hookers?
Does the Pretty Baby ban signal the beginning of a
stricter code to be followed by the board, and is this
related to the recent shoeshine boy sex murder in
Toronto?
While these questions remain unanswered,
mature movie goers in this province may feel like the
pre -teen lady of the evening in Pretty Baby who says
to Bellocq "I am not a child". He - like the censor
board apparently - replies "That's your opinion".
To the editor:
In a letter to the editor in your last edition John Rutledge

We would like to point out, however. that while the proposal
has been accepted in• principal from the architects this
acceptance has been only for the overall concept as it meets the

plan arc still very much in a state of flu. since thr addition is at
least a year away from beginning construction. Before that (late
there will be an ext'.' sive consultation uudertalwn nut o111c• with

It's spring
I'BY Keith Roulslonl
Along with head colds and influenza there's
another ailment that SCC111s t0 catch a major
Ixlrtion of' the Canadian population about this
time every year: playoff -itis.
Hockey isn't the addiction it once was in
this country. Ten years ago all activity
virtually used to halt every Saturday night so
Canadians could gather round the television to
watch Hockey Night in Canada. Expansion,
dilution of hockey talent, the increasing
Americanization of the league and many other
factors large and small have meant that
throughout the long, long regular season,
Canadians scent to yawn a hit at the antics of
their heros on the ice. They may even, heresy
of heresies, go out on the town on a Saturday
night instead of staying honk to watch the
game.
But in the spring, in playoff time, all that
scenes to change. No platter how boring the
game scented only a week before when the
regular schedule was being played out,
soddenly the game has new drama and
millions will give up anything to watch the
game.
I'd become downright disenchanted
'arching the Leafs fumble their way through
the last month of the season this year. 1 hadn't
even watched the last several games. yet here
was coaling home from a meeting at 1 1 p.nl.
suffering from a head 0)1(1 that had sapped
every ounce of strength for the past two days
and here 1 was sitting down to watch a hockey
game From the west coast. You've got to be
crap'. But then that's what hockey can still do
to normally sane (now i heard you snicker and
that's not nice) individuals. '
There's an electricity in .the air when it
comes to playoff hockey and people who've
never watched the game all year long
suddenly become interested. Whereas a win
here or there didn't • seem so important a
month ago during the regular schedule, here
even a goal is a major happening because it
could spell the different between going on to
glory. or watching your heros take an early
vacation. Emotion is high in the audience and
in the players. Ordinary players become stars.
The chance of the Cinderella story is always
there.
1 guess my own addiction to playoff hockey
goes way back to childhood, Playoffs then
were 011 the radio because television was an
unheard of luxury in our neighbourhood at the
time, something only the decadent town and
city dwellers could afford. So we glued our
ears to the radio and listened to the Montreal
Canadicns blast their way through the
opposition. My family were fans of anybody
but the Canadicns. I was for the Montrealer•s
so there was a good deal of good-natured
argument. It was the days of the Rocket and
the Pocket Rocket, of Beliveau (my hero),
Boons Boone Geoffrion, Doug Harvey, Bert
Hockey time
Olmstead, Dickie Moore and of course
Jacques Plante. 1'11c Canadicns power play
was so awesome that to take a penalty against
them was to automatically give up a goal. It
was that lower play that brought about the
rule change that allowed the short handed
team to get their elan 0(11 of the penalty box
onc,i a goal was scored. Before that rule 11' a
team took a pcntaly against the Canadicns in
the first minute of the game, you might as well
forget the rest of elle game. It could be 5.0
before the penalty expired.
Hockey took on new meaning with the
coming of television. One of Illy most vivid
memories as a youngster was being invited
over to the neighbours one Saturday night to
watch a game on their new television. Several
years later when we got our own set I was still
a Canadicns fan and normally it would have
been frustrating because only Leaf games
were shown. But there was a strike at C.B.C.
in Toronto that year and the Montreal games
were shown instead.
That was the year though that the Leafs
began their fairy talc finish and made it into
the playoff's for the first time in years by
inning the last game of the schedule. They
played well in the playoffs though not well
enough and the days of glory of the Leafs were
on the way back. Johnny Bower, Frank
Mahovolich, Bob Pulford, Red Kelly, Tim
Horton, Carl Brewer, Alan Stanley, Dick Duff,
they became heros to us as we played on the
pond ice. In truth, they played a pretty dull
kind of hockey but they won and won. Stanley
Cup celebrations became a habit in Toronto
and some how we all felt part of them.
The decline of the Leafs came about the
sante time as the decline in the quality of •
hockey in general. With expansion in the late
'60's when it became obvious that certain
teams would win nearly every game while
other teams would lose nearly every game the
excitement went out of hockey for a while.
Even playoff hockey got a little boring with the
exception of a few outstanding moments like
the upset victory of Canadiens over Boston a
few years back when Ken Dryden became an
overnight hero. The tong wars between-
Toronto and Philadelphia the last couple of
years brought some new interest but there
was seldom any doubt who was going to win in
the long run,
This year I think there's more interest than
in years, at (east on my part and I senseonthe
part of others too. For one thing the Leafs look
stronger especially after their easy wins over
Los Angeles, But most of all 1 think the
interest is there because you have the feeling
that any of the top six teams might be able to
pull an upset that a Cinderella story could be
in the making; • It probably won't happen but
the possibility is part of the fascination of the
game. It's got ale hooked anyway.
Family farms get tax break THE

their plans,
Ross Proctor, of Bodmin
Farms, an incorporated farming
operation in the Brussels area,
said the tax reform was long
overdue.
Mr, Proctor said a good many
farmers are incorporating today
and the current reform will bring
the tax situation for them up-to-
date.
Harry Haney, a Lethbridge,
Alberta farmer visiting at Bodmin
Farms, has been involved in the
problem of dividing an in-
corporated farm among family
members for some time.
Mr. Haney said the future of
their family farm, a partnership
between his father and uncle, was
in jeopardy before the passage of
the capital gains tax reform.
The farmer said the two brother
wanted to divide their farming
operation among members of the
next generation.
Earlier this year, the govern-
ment passed Bill C-11, an a-
mendment to the tax act which
allowed for a division of assets
between existing partners in an
incorporated business with a
deferment of the capital gains
tax.
Although Bill C-11 was an
improvement over previous tax
laws, it still didn't allow for an
incorporated farm to be divided
among members of the next
generation without paying the
capital gains tax.
Mr. Haney said in the case of
his family's business, 31 per cent
of the value of the farm's assets
would have to be paid in taxes to
transfer the farm to the next
generation
'Mr. Haney said his family
would have had to sell the
farming operation, "bring in the
Hutterites and have an auction
sale."
The tax reform now allows
rollover to the the next generation
and deferment of the capital gains
tax which will keep the Haney
operation in the family.
Mr. Haney said he believes the
reform came about partly from
significant pressure on the
government from MPS from
Western Canada,
The farmer said Donald Mac
donald, the former finance niinis-
ter, was not infavor of dividing
incorporated family farms due to
potential tax abuses.
However, Mr, Haney said Jean
Chretien, the present minister of
finance, proved more receptive to
the idea.
The farmer added there will
still be problems for government
officials in policing legitimate
divisions versus those who divide
businesses solely to receive tax
benefits.
Although the problem of divis-
ion of a family business have been
solved for farmers, Mr. Haney
said, "after a fair bit of study, it
seems to us that the capital gains
tax laws really allow large com-

and prevent small companies
from ever becoming large."
He said the capital gains laws
deal a death blow to many spiall
businesses when taxes have to be
paid every time the business
passes from one generation to the
next. ,
Mr, Haney said captial gains
taxes arc still "a killer to the
small business.

Tractors cause
THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 19, 1978 - 11
40% farm accidents
As the time for planting crops
approaches, many farmers are
anxious to being work on the
land, But in the planting rush
many will forget about safety.
Larry Swinn, public relations
coordinator for the Farm Safety
Association of Ontario, `says
tractor -related accidents caused
18 fatalities on Ontario farms last
year.
According to the statistics
compiled by the Association,
these tractor -related fatalities ac-
counted for nearly 40 percent of
the total number of farm fatalities
in 1977.
"These accidents could have
been prevented if farmers were
more safety conscious,"
Tractor rollovers, resulting
primarily from unsafe operating
practices and lack of common
sense, caused the majority of
these fatalities.
"Many accidents occur be-
cause farmers rush too much. To
get crops planted farmers work
overtime, often beyond their
physical capabilities."
This creates the potential for
injuries,
This season Mr. Swinn sug-
gests farmers slow down and take
extra time to do the work.
Working the land in a logical
manner will put the farmer ahead
in the long run.
Before taking the equipment
out on the field, Mr, Swinn
suggests farmers make sure the
tractor is well maintained and in
safe working order.
"Equipment breakdowns costs
the farmer valuable time. To
make up the lost time farmers
have to run the tractor faster than
ever. This invites accidents."

The Poem
She always claims it wasn't her
fault,
She wasn't even there,
But facts relate, though harsh to
state,
That- in that Season fair,
The sunnnncr warm and
prone icing,
Wlncn princess Grace was born,
'Ihe lightening ripped,
'Ilse stoJ'm-wind tore,
And flames slid burn the barn!
An uphill start? Well surely not!
The baby grew q!litc fair,
With dimpled check and shy blue
eyes.
And flaxen -silver hair,
She grew apace, did ballythings,
And though not slow to walk,
Already brains were hard at work,
Already could she talk.
10 school she claimed to be quite
bored,
But music was her size.
In Belgrave's marvellous festival,
She won the great first prize.
We longed so much to hear the
song,
That worn the prize that day,
I311 sing it us she would not,
Although we offered pay.
She grew apace, a cuddly fot.
'lilt high school beckoned.
But her attendance record
showed,
In Ritter's new gray hair.
Ihcn last year traffic screeched
and crashed,
is she and neighbour friend,
In flagman's job in hot outdoors,
Brought order to an end.
And even government isn't saf'c,
The Parliamentary mall:
Where she'll explain she got her
start,
ln' Belgrave's Postal Hall.
But what of boys? Aft. we not
here,
To see her soon be wed?
"B B " that is to say "before
Bruce"
Was all so drear and dead?
No, No! She had a far off flame
Which still has yet to crash,
She plight a quite long lasting
troth,
To Allan Alda and Mash!
So friends, if Bruce does not
behave,
As proper husband should,
He'll come home to an empty
nest-•
She's flown for Hollywood.
Dear Grace, our friendly
gathering,
Qui- gifts, the lunch, the rest
Just goes to show we love you so
We wish for each small Grace and
Bruce,
Mien someday they are born,
'Ihat far away on other barns,
the lightning flash will storm,
t n'aec never show by furrowed
Mat worries bring you low,
But shrug and smile and carry on!
through life %vith-love you'll go,

Hears about
farm accidents
Already this year four persons
have died due to farm accidents
and 50 more deaths forecasted for
1978, in Ontario according to
O.P,P Constable Bill Wilson who
spoke to the East Wawanosh
Federation of Agriculture's an-
nual meeting, Thursday,
Many members raised quest-
ions on maintaining safety stand-
ards on their farms.
Constable Wilson, from the
community services branch of the
Goderich OPP department, point-
ed out to over 100 members
present that any farm accidents
are investigated by the OPP.
"There are three things that we
must keep in mind." Mr. Wilson
outlined, "One; what can hurt us,
familiarity breeds contempt and
when the most accidents occur."
Leaving shutes open, driving
up steep hills with tractors, being
unaware of the gravity point when
dealing with a front end loader or
any tractor are all hazards.
"Accidents happen to all of
us." said Const. Wilson." and
they happen very fast and before
you know it, its all over."
One very great concern is the
power takeoff on tractors. If
sleeves are dented or not used it
is very easy to get caught in the
drive shaft and be torn apart, he
said.
PTO means possible tragic
occurance" pointed out Const.
Wilson.
The Farm Safety Association
has implemented a roll over bar
protection that is now built into
new cabs,
Scat belts are also being built
into tractors but it is the same old
question of the safety of them,
pointed out Const. Wilson.
Questions were raised from the
members concerning slowing
traffic on the highways. Const.
Wilson noted that is legal for any
vehicle to travel on the paved
highways. It is courtesy to drive
on the shoulder to let impatient
vehicle drivers pass.
"But only do so if you know it
kNill not endanger yourself or your
load," said Const. Wilson.
It was also pointed out by OPP
Cpl. Craig, accompanying Mr.
Wilson, that if a farmer damages
a shoulder of the road enough to
have the department of highways
out to make repairs he may be
held liable for damages. The soft
shoulders are not meant to be
driven on, he said.
An Ohio state study recorded
Help for women
in politics
Women who are considering
throwing their,hat in the ring and
running for political office will
have some help in the future.
The help conies in the form of a
handbook telling women how to
lobby, how to become a political
candidate and even how to be
someone else's compaign
manager.
The step-by-step book, in the
form of a kit called ,Sharing The
Power, was prepared by the
Federal Advisory Council on the
Status of Wonien.
Audrey Shepherd, the council
member who headed the group
which researched the guide, said
she became convinced "a lot of
women don't understand the
political arena and don't think of
entering it."
Among the points outlined in
the guide are how to lobby, how
to write a brie f, how to deal with
the print and broadcast media,
how to be a candidate, how to run
an election campaign and how to
organize a workshop,
that of 708 accidents involved
with slow moving vehicles, 75%
were farm vehicles, 90% occurred
on dry roads in the daylight and
5O% were on level land.
Of these, damages of 1.3
million were involved, Constable
Wilson used the figures to
illustrate the value of triangular
shaped reflector signs required
on all slow moving farm vehicles.
Constable Wilson listed the
properties of silo gas as yellow
brown in colour, odour resembl-
ing laundry bleach and what ever
kind of insilage used and heavier
than air. When mixed with water
that is in our lungs and air
passages it forms nitric acid and
death is quick.
"Even one whiff will cause a
long illness and da mage the

concerning the stand the OFA has
taken.
lungs for life." cautioned Const.
Wilson.
"Many farmers arc unaware of
the threat of silo gas and it is up
to all of us to educate ourselves,"
he said.
Elected as new officers for the
East Wawanosh Fcdcratin of
Agriculture were: President,
Walter Elliott; Vice President,
Les Caldwell; Secretary
Treasurer, Peter Chandler.
Bill Crawford, field man for
Huron conducted the elections
and encouraged the involvement
of women in the area, Directors
are: Adrian Vos, Ed Flankin, Jim
Hallahan, Barry Mason, Bob
Taylor, Doug Walker, Wallace
Norman and Cliff Laidlaw. Les
Caldwell was elected director to
the County Federation of agricul-
ture.
The members passed a resolut-
ion to be brought before the next
county meeting of the F. of A.
concerning the law requiring two
hookups between the vehicle and
equipment being hauled asking
that machinery manufactureres
make second hitches mandatory
on equipment made.

Summer jobs on farms popular
There's old refrain about the
problem of keeping young people
down on the farm after they've
seen the city lights.
But sometimes the problem is
how to send people back to the
city after they've spent a summer
down on the farm,
Len MacGregor, supervisor of
.the junior agriculturalist program
in Huron County, said some of the
city students enjoy farm life so
much, they out to stay and work
on their weekends off.
The Junior Agriculturalist Pro-
gram, which has been operating
for about six years, allows 300
students, aged 16 and 17, with
no farm experience, to spend the
summer working on a farm.
The program, sponsored by the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food, (OMAF) will bring up
to 20 city students to Huron
County farms,
New centre says
Mr, MacGregor said students
are told about the program
through their high schools. Last
year, 900 students across the
province. applied for the 300
positions which were open.
Under the program, junior
agriculturalist are given a train-
ing allowance of $11, with host
farmers providing $5 of this
amount, and room and board to
the student.
Mr. MacGregor is currently
processing applications from area
farmers interested in hosting a
student for the summer months.
Mr. MacGregor said he has
received only six applications to
date and hopes to have between
15 and 20 applications by the May
15 deadline,
Mr. MacGregor said most of
the applications conic from dairy
farmers and most of the students
apply to work on dairy operations.
Energy saving
makes sense
This column is prepared by
your Energy Conservation
Centres in Lucknow and Goderich
and in the corning weeks will deal
with many aspects of energy use
and conservation and approaches.
Before we can talk about
energy conservation, we have to
have an understanding of what
energy is and how we use it. It is
easier to say how we use energy
than to define it. Almost every-
thing we do uses some type of
energy. in fact, nothing happens
in our lives, our society, or the
universe without energy. The
food we cat contains energy, the
fuels we burn contain energy. The
electricity we use is a type of
energy. We are always using
energy.
Thera arc two "laws" which
describe the behaviour of energy
in the universe: The first states
that the total amount of energy is
cons ant. rlergy cannot be
crk d or uestroycd. The energy
in a gallon of gas is not lost when
you burn it in a car engine. The
energy has been converted into
heat and forward motion and the'
amount of energy in the heat aid
motion is the same as was present
in the gas.
A change has taken place
though. The usefulness of the
energy has decreased. This
brings us to the second law
regarding energy. It states that
any transformation of energy
increases the disorder or
randomness of the energy.
Energy flows from high quality
areas, such as the high temper-
ature in the engine cylinder, to
low quality areas, such as the
exhaust. Eventually all the
energy in the universe will be
degraded to 0 large amount of low
of the energy which is important.
High quality energy can be used
to do work, but once it is used its
ability to do more work is lost.
When we talk about saving or
conserving energy we are talking
about using our high quality
energy resources wisely, so that
we do not wastefully convert them
to low grade energy.

or questions regarding this

considerably. It has always gone

up the great riddle of life. Since
one's own child put the question
one cannot dismiss it and she will
continue to ask it at 22. Would
that we could stay with the
exclamation and avoid so much
discomfort.

FURADAN carbamate insecticide is
unsurpassed for corn rootworm control.
The best way to prevent northern corn rootworms
from building up resistance to insecticide is to alternate
from an organophosphate insecticide to a carbamate,
And FURADAN is the carbamate to switch to.
FURADAN is the systemic insecticide that kills corn
rootworm larvae on contact, and then is absorbed by the
roots to provide long-lasting residual control. Hard,
purple granules won't bridge or cake in the applicator.

Report from Queen's Park
By Murray Gaunt
' Opposition Members of the
Legislature Committee studying
OH IP premium increases accused
Health Minister Timbrell of
giving the Committee a document
that had been altered or tampered
‘‘ith to conceal opposition within
the Ministry to increasing health
premiums.
The document was a response
by Ministry staff' to a report on
ways of controlling health costs.
Under threat of subpoena by the
Committee, Mr. 'fimbrell reluc-
tantly produced two pages which
had been removed from the
a'iginal document and replaced
with a letter from Ontario
'treasurer Darcy McKeough
defending his decision to raise the
1xemiums by 37,5%,
The original pages included a
strong attack on the concept of
health insurance premiums,
terming them regressive and
costly to administer,
It is interesting to note that the
report of a joint advisory
committee on medical costs last
THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 19, 1978 -- 17
year said "those who arc self
sustaining should pay their way"
and the government should study
those now exempt from paying
SHIP premiums to see how many
could afford to pay them. The
Health Ministry's "proposed
response" was that it supported
the principle of means testing and
endorsed the idea that those who
could afford to pay for OHIP
should do so.
Meanwhile, physicians in
Ontario will receive an average
fee increase of 6-1/4% on May 1
from the provincial health
insurance plan, according to
Health Minister Dennis Timbrell,

Codco not so funny
[by Rhea Hamilton]
Codco presented thc first live
theatre presentation for the year
Tuesday night and by all
standards, they didn't seem to be
the great comedians that every-
one was expecting.
Codco is a theatre troupe from
Newfoundland which in the past
has been breaking people up all
over the country with their rare
and unusual humour.
Much to the disappointment of
many the humour was not as good
as expected. The series of skits
could have. been applied to any
culture except a "boo boo beer"
skit native to Newfoundland. The
comedy swung like a pendulum
from raw racy humour to a few
well placed lines.
The most inspirational piece
involved Dyan Olsen and Mary
Walsh doing an old routine
dressed in long coats and tics and
the humour ranged from the
obsolete "take any husband
please" to the well quipped lines
on international Women's Year.
"International Women's Year is
Awn the house wife steps out oI'
nc kitchen and it' she sees her
shadow she goes back into the
kitchen for another 365 days."

The illness

enemy a big

Fitness is fun.
Try some,
The most remarkable thing
about Codco is that they generate
a very involved presence on the
stage and with the aid of multiple
costume changes they keep the
audience completely enthralled
with thc action they themselves
generate. If some of the jokes
were in poor taste, many were
quick and true to life,
Oneskit involved young pcoplc
at in a local bar and their
hypocrisies towards each other.
The clincher occurs when one girl
decides to stand up against the
bully boy friend and ends up
Ibllowing orders from him as
usual, Although the humour was
there it seemed lost on pcoplc
who attended thc play. Situations
like that are close to home and too
real to be laughed at.

AND AWAY WE GO — The Cross Country Squares were just part of the

residents of Blyth at the Memorial Hall on Friday night.
Wheat producers re-elect Henry
At the inaugural meeting of the
Ontario Wheat Producers'
Marketing board Robert Henry of
Blyth was re-elected by his
district as director.
An Essex County wheat
producer has been named
chairman of the Ontario Wheat
Producers' Marketing Board.
Russell Rogers, R. R. 111,
Kingsville, was elected head of
the 1978 board at its inaugural
meeting held in Rexdale April 6
and 7. Rogers moves up from the
first vice -chairman's position
which he has held for the past two
years. He replaces Irving
Kleiman, R R. 111, Simcoe, who
has served as chairman for the
same period.
The 1978 board also marks the
beginning of operations under a
ten -man directorate reduced from
the previous twelve in a recent
realignment of representation.
In the new structure, the
number of districts was increased
from nine to ten, which now forms
the basis for one director for eacr
district. The changes resulted it
two new directors being elected tc
the board by their respective
districts.
As the new board establishe
its plans and priorities for the
corning year, it faces the usua
unpredictable factors of a cro'
just emerging from winter• Las
year the province produced ove
31 million bushels or •843) 68
tonne of winter wheat for whicl
the board is responsible fo
purchase and sale into the
domestic and export markets,
Less than two million bushels
or 54,430 tonne of the 1977 croi
remain unsold. Last year's
Ontario winter wheat Crop is nm
recorded as the largest • ever
produced. This year, following an
estimated 35 to 40 per cent
reduction in seeded acres last fall
due to wet weather, winterkill and
spring flooding will further
reduce the potential production.
Based on seeding estimates of
385,000 acres, a crop of about 19
million bushels or 517,000 tonne
was predicted earlier.
Directors will be surveying the
situation in the days ahead, along
with laying plans for any
necessary changes in marketing
regulations governing purchase
and sale of the 1978 crop.
Export prices during the past
year have depressed the overall
income picture seriously for
Ontario wheat producers.
However, the board is hopeful
that an increase in the domestic
price of $3.25 to $3.55 per bushel
and potential deficiency pay-
ments under the federal Stabili-
zation Act will raise the average
to producers.
The board is presently in the
process of 'discussing these areas
with the federal government.

PATTERSON - A tribute of
Remembrance to Gayle Patterson
who left us one year ago, April 23,
1977.
To a beautiful life carne a sudden
end,
She died and lived everyone's
friend
She was always thoughtful, loving
and kind,
What a glorious memory' to leave
behind,
She left so suddenly, her thoughts
unknown,
But she left memories we are
proud to own.
Treasure her God, in your Garden
of Rest,
For in this world she was one of
the best.
—Always remembered and sadly
mussed, - A Friend, 25-16-1
PATTERSON: In loving memory
of our dear daughter, Gayel
lvlarie, who left us suddenly one
year ago, April 23, 1977, in her
18th year.
3 is for' the many Gifts of
happiness we shared,
A - is the Affection and the
knowing that she cared,
Y - is for the Yesterdays when we
were all together.
L- is the Love she gave us, we'll
remember it forever.
E- is Everlasting gifts of affection
and yesterdays love.
For the one God chose as an angel
in His heaven up above.
We loved her so very dearly,
Just as we lave the rest,
But we have both accepted,
He only takes the best.
So when God took our daughter,
And we were left behind,
He must have loved her deeply,
For angels are hard to,find.
—Sadly missed and lovingly
remembered, Mom and Dad,.
25-16x1
PATTERSON: In loving memory
of our dear sister, Gayle, who left
us suddenly one year ago, April
23, 1977.
There's a gift in life you cannot
buy,
That's very rare and true,
it's the gift of a wonderful sister,
Like the one we had in you.
We often sit and think of you,
And think of how you died,
To think you couldn't say good-
bye,
Before you closed your eyes.
What we would give if we could
say,
"Hello Gayle", in the same old
way,
To hear your voice to sec your
smile,
To sit and chat with you awhile.
When we arc sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear your whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on".
Each time we look at your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry I'm only sleeping,
We'll meet again some day"
Iris seems so hard to under-
stand,
Still somehow we must try,
'ihe saddest word we'll ever
know,
W►II always be "good-bye".
If we wrote a million verses,
it wouldn't be a start,
To tell the world about you,
And what is in our hearts,
We never ask for miracles,
But, today, just one would do,
To see the front door open,
And see you, Gayle walk through.
So you who have a sister,
Cherish her with care,
For you will never know the
heartaches,
Till the day she isn't there.
-Sadly missed and always
remembered by sisters Shelley
and Barb, brother, Kent.

HOLLAND: In loving memory of a

father, who passed away April 20.

ROSS: In loving memory of our
dear brother, Bill Ross, who
passed away April 17, 1976.
We travelled down a winding
road,
A road without an end.
And they who seem so far away,
Are only round the bend.
—Lovingly remembered by his
sisters, Mamie, Margaret and
brother Tom.

BLYTH HAS ALL KINDS OF TALENT — Valerie
Wasson provided a break for the step dancers when
she played guitar and sang to the audience at the
stepdancing recital held in Blyth on Friday night.
From the minister's study
A letter for you
by Rev. Cecll Wittich
One of the most popular places
in town each weekday is the Post
Office. For those of us who live
out of town, it is the mail box.
Most of us, it seems, eagerly look
forward to receiving out' mail each
Cary, The thought of receiving a
letter from someone or a paper to
read and look at is perhaps what
excites us. And we know that mail
that is personally addressed to us
is much more appealing than the
mail that does not have our
name on it.
There is another form of mail
that I would like to talk about and
that is the Bible. The Bible has
been called "God's love Tett i to
us". It is tilled with messages
from God for his people and for
the world. It is also addressed to
each one of us personally.
We all have the Bible in our
home. We do not need to go to the
Post Office or the mail box to
receive this interesting letter. It is
for each one of us to read again
rind again. And through it, God
speaks to us and makes himself
known, We may not understand it
fully. But if we read it carefully
and seek to hear what God is
saying to us, He will speak to our
most pressing needs, giving
guidance and strength for our
lives. And the more familiar we
become with the Bible, the more
meaningful it will become,
If the Bible seems difficult or
irrelevant, maybe it is because
you do not know the author.
When we receive mail from
someone, we know that it is more
interesting when you know and
love the person who sent it.
The story is told of a girl who
read a book and found the book to
be very boring. She put the book
away on a back shelf and forgot
about it. Some years later she met
the author of the book and fell in
love with him. Now, she read the
book and found it to be the most
interesting book she had every
mac!. God is the author of the
bible and you can know him by
asking Jesus Christ to be your
Saviour and Lord.Through Christ
we arc reconciled to God (Romans
5:1)
"All Scripture is inspired by
God ancl is profitable for
teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in
righteousness, that the man of
God may be complete, equipped
for every good work," (11
Timothy 3:16-17)
United
Church
has fun
night
The Outreach Unit of the
U.C.W. met Tuesday of last week
with Mrs. Bill Aitken giving the
Study 011 an Easter Theme,
prepared by Mrs. Gordon
McClinchey. Mrs, Rena Watt and
Mrs. Bert-Daer led in Devotions.
Most of the business consisted of
choosing committees to look after
the soliciting and selling of Honic
Baking to be heldin conjunction
with the Garage Sale on May 6 at
the Arena. All contributions
gratefully accepted.
The Explorer girls went to the
Church on Wednesday after
school even though there was no
meeting scheduled for last week.
They phoned their leader to
come. Being unprepared for a
meeting, she hesitated, but the
girls were insistant. Michele
Logue presented her with a gift,
u cl speaking for all the girls said
they always enjoy their meeting
auul realize "if it wasn't for Mrs.
Elliott, there wouldn't be any
Explorers," Mrs. Elliott
expressed her thanks for the gift
ancl the thoughtfulness of the
girls, and told then it meant a lot
to know her efforts are appreci-
ated. The girls plan to go bowling
to bring their activities to a
conclusion for this year.
"Fun Night", on April 13,
found about 30 people so
thoroughly enjoying themselves
that they voted to have another
evening of games and fellowship
on May 11. Thanks go to the
Committee (Wightman,
Chalmers Carter and Van Vliet)
who engineered the group

enormous success, All .partici-

Sugar and Spice
by Bill Smiley
A birthday party??
If you were broke' and out of a job, and
deeply in debt, and your family was
squabbling bitterly, and your liouse was
falling apart, and you had a fairly meaningless
birthday coming up, what would you do?
Somehow, I rather doubt that you'd plan a
birthday party, to be financed on borrowed
money, and invite everybody.
That may be a little shaky in spots, but it's a
fair analogy to the government's plan to spend
4.5 million dollars on Canada's birthday this
coming July 1st.
The late C.D. Howe's famous bit of
arrogance in Parliament, "What's a mil-
lion?", almost brought down the government
of the day, But at least he was talking about
something solid, a trans -Canada pipeline.
But this present outfit in Ottawa is all set to
fork out four and a half million green -backs for
a Birthday Party. It fair boggles the mind.
Talk about Nero Fiddling while Rome burned!
Unemployment is the highest since the
Depression. The Canadian dollar is the lowest
since the 'Depression. Inflation merely stop-
ped to take a deep breath before zooming off
again. overnment expenditures and the
national debt increase simultaneously and
ominously.
Quebec has cut out from the rest of Canada
in every way except constitutionally, The
Maritime provinces are a disaster area,
economically. The prairie provinces hate the.
East, and with reason. Ontario can't under-
stand why those greedy Albertans want a fair
price for their gas and oil, B.C. looks with an
alien eye at the whole country east of the
Rockies, and with a flirtatious eye south of the
border.
By all means, then, let us have birthday
party. And why not make it a decent one?
Why not spend 4.5 million, which was
probably the gross national debt about 40
years ago?
After all, you can't take it with you, and at
the rate we're going, we're not long for this
world, as er know it, so why not blow 4.5 of the
taxpayer's money?.There's no question about
it: a birthday party may be just the ticket to
solve all the problems I've mentioned,
It's a sure of becoming ancient, but 1 can't
help remembering the July 1st celebrations of
my boyhood.
That, of course, was when the occasion was
known as Dominion Day, rather than the July
First Weekend, as it is now usually called.
Man, they were simple times, looking back,
It wasn't the occasion for a niad exodus to the
beaches, with hundreds of thousands of
irritable, perspiring motorists jamming the
highways and polluting the atmosphere, It
might surprise you to know that in those days
Cow calf
support
price set
Agriculture and Food Minister
Bill Newman has announced 'that
the support price for the 1978
beef calf income stabilization
program will be 51.5 cents per
pound -and the enrolment fee per
cow $8.
All cows in the producer's
possession as of April 1, 1978 are
eligible for enrolment. The clos-
ing date for applications is May
31, 1978.
Enrolment forms will be mailed
this month to producers who
participated in the 1977 program
and additional copies will be
available from the offices of the
agricultural representatives.
The provisisons for the 1978
provincial plan are similar to
those of 1977 but it appears there
will be no federal plan this year.
Last year 14,400 producers
enrolled nearly 350,000 cows in
tlic beef calf program and receiv-
ed $12.1 million in stabilization
payments. An additional $1.4
million was paid by the federal
plan.
the average worker didn't have a car.
There were no rock concerts, no clashes of
cops and motor -cycle gangs, no massive
asaults on the beer and liquor stores the day
before,
It was just a nice summer day that
happened to be a holiday, For an adult, it
might be the beginning of his one or two week
vacation. For a kid,it was school out and a
feeling that the holidays were forever.
In the morning, you got up early, yearning
to be out in that boundless, golden day.
Maybe you went fishing. If you caught a
sucker, there was a certain party who didn't
give a diddle that sewage flowed into the
river, and would pay a nickel, good for a bottle
of pop or an ice cream cone, if you caught a
pike, you had struck gold. It was good for a
dime, which translated into a movie, a
hamburger, or ten tailor-made Turrets, if you
were one of the delinquents who smoked.
About 11 a.m., there was usually some kind
of ceremony down at the park, and half the
town was there. Town band with a couple of
rousing marches, windy speech from the
mayor extolling our fair land, ceremonial
planting of a tree or some such exotic
symbolism, God Save the King, and home for
dinner,
In those days, we didn't have lunch at noon,
we had dinner. Meat and taties and the works.
In the afternoon, everyone went to the ball
game, or went swimming, or went for a picnic,
or went for a drive, or, among the elderly,
went to sleep for a couple of hours on the old
divan in the screened -in porch.
Suddenly it was supper -time. Peas soup,
green onions galore, home-made bread and
flagons of cold milk to wash down the
/chocolate cake or rhubarb pie. Bingo! After
nine hours on the trail, you were born again
and ready for another five or six exciting
lours.
In the eveningtherewould be a street dance -
or a tombola with gambling games, or ,at the
very least, a band concert.' Many a life of
married misery was begun strolling around
the park, arms around, while the band played
Strauss waltzes.
Bed time, Exhausted but too excited to
sleep. Clop -clop of hooves as farmer heads
home after the big day. Low voices drifting up
from the street as late-nighters ambled home.
Peace. Sleep.
That was how much it cost and how we
celebrated our national birthday day way -
back -when, Couldn't Trudeau and company
be satisfied to plant a tree, or even a thousand
trees?
Better still, how about planting Mr.
Trudeau? And/or Rene Levesque?
THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 19, 1978 - 23
Wingham, townships
put fire agreement
in writing
The local Rural Fire Committee
has decided to put in writing an
updated agreement of the rates
charged by the Wingham Fire
Department to participating
municipalities, The committee
met April 5.
The cost of fighting a fire to the
Wingham department has risen
from $10 an hour in 1950 plus a
dollar an hour for each fireman or
helper battling a blaze to $100 an
hour in 1978. These rates are
charged to Wingham and the
participating townships of Turn -
berry, Morris, East Wawanosh
and Howick.
East Wawanosft Township
Concillor Donald Dow asked that
a letter be sent to clerks of all
involved townships, clarifying the
rates charged.
Fire calls answered by the
Wingham Fire Department in
Morris Township in 1977 totalled
$60,000 according to Wingham
Fire Chief Dave Crothers who
made his annual report to the
committee, Fire protection in
Morris is also provided by the
Wingham and Blyth fire depart-
ments.
Mr. Crothers said the fire
department has been paid $600
by Morris council for six hours of
fire fighting in the township in
1977 and Morris Township's
share of the fire department's
deficit amounted to $3,713.37,
based on an 18 per cent share of
the total deficit,
Mr. Crothers advised the com-
mittee's township council re-
presentatives that the township
councils must pass a bylaw giving-
him permission to make fire
inspections within their mun-
municipalities.
He said that under the present
scheme fire fighting is the only
agreement and obligation the fire
department has with the town-
ships. Mr. Crothers said a fire
department official must give a
fire safety inspection to com-
cunity centres, schools, senior
citizens apartments, day care
centres and municipal buildings,
for them to start or continue
operation.
Township council members
agreed to take the recommendat-
ions back to their councils.
The committee after some
discussion decided to allow the
Wingham Fire Department to
charge for fire safety inspections
up to $15 for the first hour and $7
an hour after that plus mileage.
Previous fire safety inspections,
mostly done by Mr, Crothers, had
not been charged for,
The Huron Mutual Aid As-
sociation has some plans for fire
prevention and protection at the
International Plowing Match, Mr.
Crothers told the committee.
Two Wingham firemen will be
at the match site at nights while
the tented city is erected and will
have the 1937 Ford Pumper truck
and the tanker truck at the site for
immediate fire protection. Mr.
Crothers told the meeting there
would be radio contact between
firemen at the match site and the
Wingham fire hall.

And all newlyweds to be! Here are
ways to plan that perfect wedding
day . . that bright future together!

2 — BRIDAL SECTION
Camping honeymoon is popular
CAMPING ON YOUR HONEYMOON can be a fun experience and easy on that
newlywed budget as well, To keep it "hassle•free", however, follow the ex•
perts' advice, '
Home accessories make
welcome wedding gifts
They're young, in love,
and have everything going
for them but a lot of money!
Like many of today's newly-
weds, they're probably es-
chewing those beautiful but
expensive living room and
bedroom suites in favor of
the new knock -down and
modular units; not only are
they attractive and modern,
they're within young budget
range.
You can help the newly-
weds "get it all together" by
gifting them with ac-
cessories to complete their
contemporary decor. A
hanging, industrial -type
lamp will be welcome for
any room in that first apart-
ment or home, for instance.
Colorful director's chairs
are attractive additions to
the living room or dining
room now, can go onto the
patio later on.
A rattan or wicker plant
stand or a ceramic tree
planter can highlight that
handsome fern or indoor
tree they're so proud of.
Plastic cubes can create a
handy storage unit that the
young couple can incor-
porate into almost any room
of their new abode.
Parsons tables come in
many sizes (select according
to your pocketbook) and
make great coffee tables,
end tables, sofa tables or
even dining tables.
Baker's racks can ac-
commodate anything from a
plant collection to stereo
components, are popular
looks on the contemporary
scene.
Baskets are in — they add
a touch of texture to glossy
chrome and glass decors, are
handy for storage. A set of
attractive baskets will rate a
big "thank you" from the
newlyweds.
While the trip to Niagara
Falls and other resorts may
still be considered by many
to be the traditional honey-
moon trip, more and more
young couples are choosing
a different type of honey-
moon: camping.
Aside from the obvious
advantage of being easy on
the 'pocketbook, camping
appeals to newlyweds who
are in love with nature, as
well as each other. What
better way to getaway from
it all than along Oregon's
rugged coast or fishing on a
beautiful lake in Idaho? For-
tunately, all fifty states offer
camping facilities in scenic
national parks and forests,
as well as state sites.
If you're planning on a
camping honeymoon, keep
these suggestions from ex-
perts in mind:
Plan ahead. Know the
climate you are headed for
and dress for it!
Choose your tent wisely.
It should be spacious
enough to accommodate the
two of you comfortably,
with plenty of room for
dressing and for storing
supplies.
Supplies should include a
portable stove (cooking over
a campfire can be romantic,
but not dependable) a lan-
tern, a cooler, sleeping bags
(for added comfort include
mattresses) and food
staples.
Make a check list of all
those small but necessary
items such as matches,

Nothing can spoil a
camping trip faster than an
injury, so take that ounce of
prevention along with your
first aid guide and kit. Make
sure boots and socks fit
properly or you'll end up
With blisters. If you're going
up into the mountains, allow
one day for every 1,000 feet
of altitude to avoid altitude
sickness. Watch where you'
step (familiarize yourself
with poison ivy's charac-
teristics) and be careful
with axes, knives, and fish-
ing hooks, as well as around
fires.
Once you've decided on
the area you'd like to camp
in, check with your local
library for listings of camp-
ground facilities in that
area. It's a good idea to
write ahead of time for in-
formation regarding reser-
vations, types of facilities,
and camping seasons.
• You can get some in-
valuable advice on what to
take and what to leave
behind at the store where
you purchase your camping
gear, and don't overlook the
many books available on
camping skills at your local
bookstore.
Last, but not least, make
sure your car is in good con-
dition and is properly equip-
ped for the area you'll be
camping in or going
through. A good spare tire is
a must!

all, but layers of organic
material called nacre, This
substance is secreted by the
oyster to protect itself from
an irritating particle inside
its shell, whether the particle
is placed there by Mother
Nature or by an enterprising
pearl farmer,
Natural pearls, grown
strictly at random, are fab-
ulously rare and expensive.
But even underscientifically
controlled conditions,the
production of cultured
pearls• is no easy task. Only
about five of every 100
pearls harvested turn out to
be of gem quality, experts
say. The pearl farmer must
raise approximately 10,000
oysters to wind up with
enough well -matched pearls
for just one 14 -inch neck-
lace.
Although cultured pearls
have been rising in price,
they are still the most affor-
dable of precious gems. If
the bridegroom's budget
would . be strained by a
strand of pearls for his
bride, his favorite jeweler
has pearl earrings, pendants
and pins that are equally ap-
propriate — and every bit as
romantic! t
That "something new" in
the bride's wedding outfit is
often a gift of pearls from
the groom. Pearls are the
wedding present most fre-
quently chosen by the
bridegroom for his bride-to-
be, reports the Jewelry In-
dustry Council. Nobody
knows how and when this
tradition got started — but
history offers some
fascinating clues as to why
pearls and brides seem to go
together like love and
marriage,
According to the Council,
pearls have been associated
with youth, beauty and
romance since ancient
times. The Romans thought
that pearls were sacred to
Diana, goddess of the moon
and protectress of young
girls, When a Roman girl
married, she wore pearls for
good luck — the more the
merrier.
"She was covered
from head to foot with
pearls and emeralds," wrote
the Roman historian Pliny,
describing one particularly
fortunate young bride.
Noble Egyptian ladies not
only wore pearl jewelry to
make themselves attractive
to their sweethearts, but
they also used powdered
pearls as eye shadow for
that seductive "come
hither" look. If that didn't
work, pulverized pearls
could be — and often were
— used in love potions. Ac-
cording to legend, Cleopatra
conquered Marc Antony by
dissolving her most precious
pearl in vinegar and offering
him a sip of the priceless
liquid.
Pearls also found their
way into many old-time
medicines and tonics,
probably because the pearl
in gem lore symbolized
health, vitality, and long
life. All this and romance,
too — what more could any
bride ask from a gem?
Nothing more except
beauty, and pearls shine in
that department also. Their
soft luster is flattering to
every woman, and their low-
keyed elegance never goes
out of style. They can be
worn at any time of day,
with almost any outfit,
tailored or dressy.
Although pearls are
classified as precious stones,
they are really not stones at
shower her with kitchen gi
Your best friend is getting
married and you want to
give a bridal shower to re-
flect your special friendship
— a unique party different
from others she might be
given, but practical, too.
Why not consider a
kitchen shower? Gifts are
simple, useful, and generally
inexpensive.
First kitchen items most
often include: cutting board,
utility knife, paring knife,
and a set of hanging utensils,
You'll also want to in-
clude a basic set of cooking
and baking pans. Experts
recommend as a general set
a nine -inch skillet, a one
quart saucepan, and a three -
quart covered casserole.
For "wash day", deter-
gent, bar soap, and small
items placed in a laundry
basket make a most useful
and imaginative gift.
A large, inverted, paper
umbrella filled with decora-
tive small accessories is a
welcome present for any
bride. Wrap rubber scraper,
strainer, grater, ladle, pan-
cake turner, measuring
cups, and similar articles in-
dividually in decorative
paper before placing in the
umbrella for a "shower of
good wishes" and a "colored
rainbow of surprises".
Assorted kitchen gadgets
can be combined to compli-
ment a "Broom Doll" your
friend will love! Mop hair,
barbeque-mitt hands, and
apron skirt transform an or-
dinary broom into an amus-
ing and useful gift. Don't
forget to stuff the apron
pockets with thread and but-
tons!
For baking needs, a small
roasting pan, loaf pan,
cookie sheet, and two -quart
covered glass casserole are
necessities,

Now it's love, marriage and career
Two of most things is bet-
ter than one. But, two
careers, one marriage . , , is
it better? Can it work?
Special problems crop up
for the two -career couple
that can place extra strain
on a marriage, but the fact
is, more and more couples
are managing this new life-
style and managing well.
Fifty-four percent of U.S.

Whose career comes first?
That's one of the toughest
areas of long-range plan-

careers rather than just jobs,
It affects where you live,
what you do.
Probably the best way to
deal with the problem is for
both of you to make up in-
dividual career plans, then
come together and decide
which parts of each plan can
work for both of you.
Perhaps one person's career
can take precedence over the
other's at certain points in
your relationship.
Another of the long-range
bones of contention is
whether or not to have chil-
dren, Both working partners
have to sit down and decide
whether they are willing to
take time off from their
careers at various stages to
deal with the raising of chil-
dren. They have to deter-

Love at First Sight!
When searching for your
dream wedding gown, shop
around if you like, but don't
feel uneasy if you find
something you really like
right away. It's a well-
known fact in the bridal in-

buying the first or second
dress they see.

problems; If the two of you
cannot agree on a division of
work which is suitable,
remember you have the op-
tion of hiring outside help.
Money management, too,
presents some hassles. There
are a number of ways you
can go, but one expert
recommends that each of
you pay for a certain area of
home expenses out of your
own separate bank ac-
counts, That way, each
partner has a share of the
economic responsibility.
Entertainment is also
likely to cause some trou-

friends,
On an emotional and psy-
chological level, a working
couple has to come to terms
with a number of conscious
and unconscious fears: fear
on the husband's part that
his wife will be more suc-
cessful than he is; fear on the
wife's part that she won't be
able to play all the roles of
wife, mother and profes-
sional; anxiety on both parts
when it comes to traditional
sex roles,
The important thing for
any couple, and in particular
the two -career couple with
all its special troubles, is to
talk things out the moment
there is a problem. Remem-
ber that you are each dif-
ferent individuals and see
things differently. You alone
are responsible for your
happiness -- not your
partner. Take time to do
things together and have
fun.
With good communica-
tion between partners, the
two -career couple can enter
on a challenging, but very
interesting and rewarding
life together.

ready and waiting, with all
the equipment that's basic to
the preparation of three
meals a day.
Nothing's , more basic,
certainly, than pots and pans

Changes in marital status
also change your taxes
By Lyman MacInnis, CA
' If you became divorced
or separated in 1977, and
paid either alimony or
separation allowance - or
had these paid to you - your
tax situation could be in
for a change.
Or if y6u became
married, or reconciled a
marriage, or lost your
spouse in death, there are
other tax implications.
First, if the divorce or
separation occurred during
the year, you are allowed to
claim either the payments

you made to your spouse as
a tax deductible expense,
or the exemptions you
might otherwise have been
entitled to had the separ-
tion or divorce not taken
place. These would include
the standard deductions for
the spouse and the children
of the marriage who remain
the custody of that spouse.
Payments or deductions,
you choose the method that
is most beneficial to you.
But, this option is only
available in the year of
divorfe or separation. In
the future, only the alimony
or separation payments
would be deductible.
The spouse receiving the
alimony or separation
allowance must include all
such receipts in income
regardless of the tax
treatment elected by the
paying taxpayer.
If you became reconciled
in 1977, your spouse's
income for the entire year
must be considered in
determining whether he or

Evil Spirits were once dis-
persed from a wedding site
by loud shouts and the firing

Today, this tradition con-
tinues in the form of tying
old shoes and tin cans to the
back of bridal cars.
We can thank the
Saracens for the custom of
the bridal bouquet. Saracen
brides carried sprigs of

A recent survey indicates
the "Prince Charming"
myth is alive and well and
most young girls still fan-
tasize about finding a hus-
band and being a wife and
mother for the greater part
of their lives.
In reality, statistics in-

she can be claimed as a
dependent. In these cir-
cumstances, alimony or
separation payments made
in the year are ignored for
income tax purposes by
both the payor and
recipient.
If a taxpayer was married
for any part of the year, he
or she may claim the
married exemption for the
whole year subject to the
spouse's income. But, it's
only income received while
married which affects the
exemption. Accordingly, a
person who got married in
December, or whose
spouse died in January,
might well be eligible for a
full married exemption
claim.
If your marital status
changed at all during 1977,
you should attach a note to
your return giving the date
of the change.
Remember, too, that if
you were not legally
married in 1977 you are
not entitled to any exempt-
ion in respect to your
spouse. Common-law
relationships are not
recognized for this pur-
pose. You would, however,
be entitled to the married
equivalent exemption if
you supported a dependent
related to you and who
lived with you •• for
example, your child from a
common-law relationship.
A dependent whose
address while attending
school differed from yours
will still be considered to
live with you if, in fact, he
or he did live with you
during the non -school
portion of the year.

For the bride who's fur-
nishing her new home, there
couldn't be a better time
than right now. Home fur-
nishings have never been
more varied. There's a
wealth of choices for every
taste. Shopping is easier
than itused to be, with new
take-home stores and new,
faster delivery systems.
And, the number one deco-
rating trend is certainly a
good omen for romance,
because everything's coming
up roses .. • and mums .. .
and •geraniums .. , and
every other kind of flower.
In short, flowers are in —

splashed rugs, flowered
wallcoverings like those that
gave such charm to the
houses of romantic eras
past. And for today's first
home, they provide warmth
and softness — and how bet-
ter to feather a nest?
For the novice decorator,
the real question is, how to
make the most of the
possibilities of this new
look. Since the makers of
Wall -Tex wallcoverings
have just introduced a new
collection called Open
House, that's rich in flower
patterns, we asked Design
Director Robert Cappel for
some tips:
• Unless you're very sure of
yourself, don't mix two
important flower patterns
in a room. If you choose a

flowered wallcovering,
team it with fabrics that
have little or no pattern
such as stripes or small
checks.
• To get the lush look of
mixed patterns, do it with
throw cushions. Make
them from a variety of ap-
pealing remnants. Mix
Targe and small patterns,
mix colors, too — and in-
clude some colors that
match those in your wall -
covering.
• For a small room, choose
fabrics or wallcoverings
that have a relatively
small pattern on a white
or light-colored back-
ground.
• If you're furnishing on a
budget, you can get a lot
of decorating mileage by
teaming inexpensive fur-
niture, like wicker, or
painted wood, with a
striking, flowered wall -
covering. The result can
be a fresh -as -a -garden
look — and a room that's
a delight to be in.
• You can also get a lot of
mileage from a strong,
bold pattern, used in
small areas, Make a long
skirt for an end table, or
cover just one wall of a
room.
• Check out ideas in maga-
zines and decorating
books — and don't over-
look one other source of
good ideas: the sample
books in the wallcovering
store. The pictures can
give you an idea of how a
pattern will look on your
walls — and, with some
of the major national
brands, you can get over-
night delivery.
• Decorating, like every-
thing else in life, needs the
spice of variety. So a
word to the wise: don't let

power! If you use a flower
theme in one room, use a
plaid, a check or some-
thing crisp and geometric
in the next. If it's a small
apartment, carry through
similar colors for unity
and relaxation. Too much
going on in a small space
can be exhausting! t

GOOD TASTE IS

HUTSCHENREUTHER throughout the years
has always made available a wide selection of
shapes to appeal to the discriminating tastes of
the individual around the world. These shapes
have continued in their popularity for over
160 years a most unusual endorsation
of the Company's sensitivity to the individual's
taste.
One of, the truly great shapes in the history of
fine china is the true cobalt pattern "Blue Onion"
by HUTSCHENREUTHER on the baroque shape
"Maria Theresia". Many legends revolve
around this old pattern which goes back to the
beginning of the 18th century and was based on
an early Asian flower design.
The "Blue Onion" by HUTSCHENREUTHER
is underglazed and stands for durability. Some-
thing mothers like to pass on to their daughters.
The famed pattern is complemented by
perfectly matched lead crystal stemware to
assure a well appointed table setting .... to the

Why buy sterling?
There's more than ro-
mance behind a young girl's
decision to start collecting
sterling flatware the minute
she's certain of the one and
only in her life. Because
sterling is so luxurious and
traditionally a bridal gift,
people seem to regard its
purchase as an extravagance
rather than a practical in-
vestment but, trading paper
dollars for sterling table -
wares is a very sound
transaction!
By selecting a sterling
pattern well in advance of
the wedding, and by making
use of the gift registry ser-
vice at one of the better
known fine stores, your
preferences are known and
duplications avoided.
By making the most of
every occasion from birth-
days to graduation, Christ-
mas, and, of course, bridal
showers, sterling service can
be completed in a shorter
span of time.
Sterling, too, is so elegant
that the gift of even a single
teaspoon is a gift to treasure
forever. In fact, it's far bet-
ter to receive one piece of
sterling in the pattern of
Choose your
your choice than be given an
expensive lamp or vase not
of your taste and have it hid-
den in a storage area for-
ever!
This gleaming precious
metal is still the prestigious
gift it was. Today, sterling
flatware is considered the
traditional gift to the bride
from her parents.
Yellow was favourite
brides' color
Yellow was the most pop-
ular of bridal colors in 18th
century America, followed
by blue, traditionally the
color of the Virgin's robe,
Lilac, a flowered color,
ranked as third most
popular.
The beginning of the 20th
century, however, saw the
heavy use, of bridal black,
now perhaps the most ver-
boten of bridal colors.

Where to spend the honeymoon
The Big Question has
been popped, the date's been
set and now there's just one
decision left — where shall
we go on our honeymoon?
As you pore over travel
folders and listen to sugges-
tions from friends and
parents, keep in mind that
your honeymoon should be
well within your budget.
Marriage counselors point
out that a too -costly honey-
moon can become a burden
instead of a pleasure. But,
offer unexpected beauty,
along with more time to
vacation because of less
traveling.
New Mexico, for in-
stance, can seem a place out
of time, with its turquoise -
blue skies, stark mesas,
towering mountains, and
centuries-old pueblos. You
can view the magnificent
formations of Carlsbad
Caverns, fish the New Mexi-
can rivers,. or watch the sun-
' set turn the desert into a

money, either, Psychologists
advise that the honeymoon
period should be a time for
the newlyweds to be alone
together, without the stress
of outside relationships.
Keep your plans simple
.. your honeymoon should
be a time of relaxation, with
a minimum of time
schedules.
Don't overlook nearby
spots in planning your
honeymoon ... they often
"Land of Enchantment" .. .
New Mexico offers a variety
of experiences
Canada offers
beautiful countryside and
the excitement of its big
cities, without the hassle of
passports or visas. Yet you
can enjoy the French am-
bience — including cuisine
...and language — in Quebec,
or get a taste of what British
cities are like by visiting Ot-
tawa and Vancouver.
The Pocono Mountains of
northeastern Pennsylvania
are known as "honeymoon
country" and with good
reason. The mountains with
their rippling streams and
waterfalls, lovely meadows
and quaint farms make this
area a perfect setting for
romance. In addition,
there's swimming, boating,
golfing and tennis for out-
door enthusiasts, as well as
skiing in the winter season.
In the Deep South,
Georgia offers something
for every honeymoon cou-
ple: sandy beaches, antebel-
lum mansions, and the ex-
citement of Atlanta. Its
beautiful coastal area boasts
the .Golden Isles, while its
towns can be as romantic
and charming as Savannah
or as ultramodern and
energetic as Atlanta. The
Appalachian foothills and
the Okefenokee swamps il-
lustrate the wide range of
scenic attractions offered by
this southern state.
In the Far West, South-
ern California offers a
kaleidoscope of experiences
for visitors. Where else, but
in Southern California, can
you go surfing or scuba div-
ing in the morning, ride a
dune buggy or snow ski in
the afternoon and enjoy a
great theatrical premiere in
the evening! It used to be
that if you enjoyed live
theatre, you had to go to
New York to see a Broad-
way or off-Broadway pro-
duction. Now Southern
California offers drama,
musicals and comedy pro-
ductions that match or
surpass anything in the East.
All this and the marvelous
year-round climate that
natives hoast about!
Wherever you do ul-
timately decide to spend
your honeymoon, remember
to travel lightly. Lugging
too many pieces of luggage
around can put a damper on
anyone's high spirits.

more elegant jerseys and
chiffons.
A popular bridal look this
spring will be the Empire -
waisted gown in flowing,
sheer fabric, exquisitely em-
broidered with lace. Touch-
es such as appliques, pleated
trims, Chantilly and Venise
lace, embroidered lace and
other embroideries, as well
as fabric flowers are part of
the romantic mood this
season.
Victorian brides will be
seen again this year, as
the nostalgic trend con-
tinues.
The Mexican wedding
look will be seen in gowns
that feature tiers of ruffles
down the skirt and a ruffled
neckline. Stitched -down
pleating and large, floral
lace motifs also reflect the
Mexican influence this
season.
Along with her traditional
veil, the spring bride may
top off her bridal gown with
a picture hat, a wreath of
flowers, an embroidered
cap, or a lace mantilla.

Today's weddings both
timely and traditional
It used to be that wed-
dings were limited to three
classifications: informal,
with the ceremony held in a
church, chapel, home, club,
garden or hotel; formal, held
in a church, chapel, home,
club or hotel; and ultra -
formal, held in church.
Now there's yet another
classification — very infor-
mal, as young couples
. search for new ways to ex-
press their feelings about
love and life, A meadow, a
beach, or a park may very
well be chosen as the site for
a wedding ceremony nowa-
days. Or, if the happy pair
has a special hobby or in-
terest, the ceremony may
even take place in an air-
plane, as it did for one cou-
ple in the skies above the
Wedding cake
originally pile
of cakes
The tradition of the mod-
ern wedding cake dates back
to medieval times. In that
era, it was the .custom that
wedding guests brought
small cakes for the couple
and piled them upin the cen-
ter of the table. The bride
and groom were supposed to
kiss over the cakes without
knocking the pile over.
One day, a traveling
baker came up with the idea
of icing all the cakes to-
gether into one large cake to
make the couple's kiss
easier. That event marked
the start of today's wedding
cake!

San Fernando Valley in

couples have married on
horseback, (with the entire
bridal party on horseback)
aboard a boat, or even in a

a naval officer.)
In the Ozarks of Mis-
souri, a lovely cavern has
become so popular as a wed-
ding site that it is now
known as "The Bridal
Cave."
Most young couples
wanting to get away from
the stiff formality of church
or chapel weddings will
probably choose to be
married in the family gar-
den, however. Aside from
the sentimental attraction of
a place you know and love,
the family garden can pro-
vide a lovely setting for the
wedding ceremony, with its
flowers, trees and grass.
If a young couple should
decide on a public park for
their wedding rites, it would
be advisable to check with
the proper authorities first.
In some cities, getting mar-
ried in the park has become
so popular, you have to
make a reservation!
With today's emphasis on
the natural, more and more
invitations will probably be
inviting friends and families
to share the joy of Jane and
John's wedding day ... un-
der the old oak tree in the
meadow.

Decide early on
home purchase
With . marriage just
around the corner, do you
find yourself dreaming of,
clapboard sidings and
gabled roofs? Cape Cod win-
dows and brass door knock-
ers? But, are you jolted out
of such reveries with the
words, "How can we afford
it?"
Dreams of home owner-
ship can become a reality for
today's newlywed couple,
with a little financial plan-
ning and a lot of elbow
grease.
As inflation spirals up-
ward, newlyweds and
everyone else — are rede-
signing their personal
finances and investments to
help guarantee a solid finan-
cial future. One way is by in-
vesting during the first year
of marriage in a small,
modestly -priced older home
that needs fixing up, accord-
ing to real estate experts
from RELO, a not-for-
profit nationwide network of
relocation specialists.
They say that young
couples should depart from
the tradition of renting until
they've saved enough for the
down payment on their
dream house. In these times,
inflation will increase the re-
quired down payment by 25
percent in the next five
years.
Instead, newlyweds are
advised to look for a "start-
er" home in a well-estab-
lished neighborhood; an in-
vestment which should ap-
preciate at least as quickly
as inflation.
Young home owners also
reduce taxes through inter-
est payments on home mort-
gages. The mortgage pay-
ments, at the top of any
family's budget, are in effect
a forced -savings plan as the
couple builds up equity in a
new home.
But, newlyweds who post-
pone buying their first home
collect rent receipts rather
than build equity. As
property values increase,
renters don't profit from
rising home prices, and they
cannot take advantage of
many tax deductions avail-
able to home owners.
The critical point is to buy
that first home as early as
possible, the experts empha-
size. It may be necessary for
a newlywed couple to ar-
range financing with a ten or
even five percent down pay-
ment, rather than the com-
mon twenty percent.
Yet, despite the extra
costs, higher interest rates
and additional service
charges of mortgages with
lower down payments, early
home purchase decisions
help newlyweds hedge
against inflation. It is the
first step in the youthful
pair's road to a strong finan-
cial position.
What other strategies
should a young married
couple consider? The real es-
tate experts offer the follow-
ing tips:
• DO look for modestly
priced homes in good
neighborhoods. These
houses may have only two
bedrooms and old-
fashioned kitchens and
baths, but they can be im-
proved to increase resale
value.
▪ DON'T get in over your
head. Be sure you aren't
caught with a home that
needs a new plumbing sys-
tem, furnace, roof or elec-
trical wiring.
• DO keep good records
and receipts for all your
home's costs. Virtually
any expense that increases
the value of your home
and is passed along to a
new owner can be deduct-
ed from your profits on
resale to reduce taxes.
Shutters, drapes, carpets,
dishwashers and re-
modeled bathrooms are
all examples of items that
can be deducted if sup-
ported by records, t
Wedding costs:
who pays them?
Tradition has it that wed-
ding expenses are shared,
among the bride, the groom,
and the bride's family. Who i
pays for what?
The groom's wedding ring
and wedding gift are the •
bride's responsibility, in ad -1
dition to the presents for her r
attendants, accommoda-
tions for out-of-town at-
tendants, her personal sta-1
tionery and her medical
exam.
The groom pays for the
marriage license, his medi-
cal exam, the bride's wed-
ding and engagement bou-
quets and going -away cor-
sage, wedding party bouton-
nieres, flowers for both
mothers, gloves, ascots or
ties for the men in the wed-
ding, gifts and accommoda-
tions for the best man and
ushers, the fee for the
clergyman and the wedding
trip.
The bride's family shoul-
ders many of the costs, in-
cluding the bride's wedding
attire and trousseau, invita-
tions and announcements,
photographs, church rental
fee, the costs of the organist;
soloist and sexton, aisle car-
peting, flowers for the
church, the bridesmaids'
bouquets and luncheon, the
entire cost of the reception,
and transportation for the
bridal party from house to
church and reception.
