Blyth woman • Protests costs by Debbie Ranney, Emma Bird, of RR 112, Blyth, appeared before Morris township council, Thursday, to protest the cost of cleaning up her land after the Blyth Creek drain was cleaned. Mrs, Bird asked what the overall cost of cleaning up her land would be when repairs on the drain were complete. Although council members couldn't tell Mrs. Bird the cost of cleaning up her property, they told her the overall cost for cleaning up the drain was approximately $1,000. Mrs. Bird asked why she and other landowners had to pay the co,t of having the drain cleaned out from the centre sideroad while landowners on the other end of the drain didn't have to pay the same costs. Mrs. Bird said engineer Andy McBride told her he had walked all the way from Blyth to the end of the drain when questioned by Reeve Bill Elston on the telephone, the engineer said he hadn't walked past the centre sideroad. Mrs. Bird then asked council if the work on her property was finished. Councillor Ross Procter said as far as the 50 acres was concerned, there wasn't any need to do any more drainage. Mr. Procter said one tree had tipped over into the ditch and that it might make sense to remove that, if it proved to be impeding the flow of water, When Mrs, Bird learned Ross Procter was the drain commissioner and received $41 for inspecting the site, she said she should be paid for being there also. Mrs. Bird told council they had ruined her land and crops and they would have to plant 500 trees on the land to repair the damage. "1'm entitled to damages on this. I was told you knew you were in the wrong from the start," Mrs. Bird said, Council decide they would visit Mrs. Bird's place to see what damage had been done in cleaning the drain. Concert planned The Blyth Centre for the Arts will continue to carry out its policy of providing local and touring performances for Huron County residents during the winter months by presenting an evening of Christmas music next week. Performed by area residents, the Community Christmas Con- cert will be held in the Memorial Hall at 8 p.m., Wednesday December 6th. The M.C. for the evening will be well-known Blyth undcsireables.

From Me to You THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 29, 1978 — 3 Breeding fish beats dogs by Rhea Hamilton With the onslaught of snow and the true winter weather now upon us I have had ample opportunity to enjoy each day early in the morning. One of our dogs is in heat and at the suggestion of a concerned friend who has lived with this same situation, we walk her away from the house to do her duties so as not to attract any interested male neighbours. Now Maggie is a Doberman and when she wants to run, like any other big dog, you follow. Over hill and dale we go in the wee hours of the morning. I am constantly hoping we never come upon an interested male dog for 1 am sure that Maggie would leave me panting behind while she embraces life with total abandon. We were thinking of breeding her but after hearing about all the costs involved and realizing that the litter would be born in the winter we seemed to have lost our enthusiasm. Every morning I trudge out in my housecoat and overcoat complete with boots slipped over my slippers, I firmly come to the same conclusion that she would be happier spayed. I know 1 would be happier if she were, We have three dogs now and would be hard pressed to find room for any more. Breeding a dog has become a big responsibility and to bring a'iitter out and not be able to find homes for it is poor planning. The human society shelters in the cities are filled to over flowing with homeless dogs and many of them are as smart as a new dollar. If you have the heart and are breeding for a show dog you must be prepared to share all the costs and be able to put to sleep those that will not be of top quality or if the litter is a too bit big to handle. Show dogs are quite a business. Many of the top breeders are disheartened to find amateur breeders selling purebred stock for a minimal fee. Often some ambitious people will jump in and breed top dogs in order to make a few bucks. But while they are making the bucks with poor quality stock there are true breeders who are going down the drain due to the breed being ruined by sloppy breeding. Dobermans are no exception. Often regarded as a dog to be wary of, Dobes are gentle and respectful of their owners. Most Dobermans are called one man clogs but once you have won their hearts they are your friend forever. Although 1 own a Doberman, I would still never approach one without the owner being around. But then that should be a fact for anyone to remember about any dog. Puppies for the future? I don't think so. I still remember trying to find homes for your German Shepard Huskies pups. That was a job and we were giving them away. Maybe we should be looking at fish breeding. 1 am sure it would be easier and 1 would not have to take the guppies out for walks. ****** We have a few reminders for you. With the upcoming Christmas season there will be more news then ever of friends visiting and events going on to celebrate Christmas. Don't hesitate to drop any news off at the Standard Office, If we are closed don't let that stop you, just drop it into the door slot. There is no way we can miss it. We have started phong for your Christmas Greetings. If y ou are a new business give us a call and we will be glad to help you pick out a greeting, The Christmas 'issue comes out in plenty oftime. before the big day so send in your recipes or pictures of what makes Christmas special for your family or you. Christmas is always a time for sharing. Even the -Scrooges have a change of heart and help celebrate. If we don't get any more snow it will even be a good time for travelling. Thank you I wish to thank the voters of Morris Township for their support at the polls on Monday. SAM PLETCH When you buy Canadian -made products, you create jobs in Canada.

When resources, the cheap power to manufacture �`'. costs for operating transportation systems the resources, the population base to • such as the railways in rural areas mounted provide ready markets and we were close government leaders said we couldn't afford to the American border to be able to take to subsidize these any longer. The cost of advantage of their large markets, transportation is one of the factors that has always helped build the industrial sections of Toronto, Kitchener -waterloo, Hamilton, and other cities in the highly industrialized Golden Horseshoe area of the province. No one has suggested trying to even out development by evening out the cost of transportation across the province. But take a look on the other hand at the cost of\electricity• Electricity is an even more major factor in industrial costs these days than transportation. Yet nearly all electricity being developed these days is far away from the cities where is is eventually to be used. If electricity costs were judged on the same basis as transport- ation it would be far cheaper to have power for industry near hydroelectric generators in Northern Ontario or beside the Bruce nuclear plant in Kincardine or Port Elgin. But when it comes to power the rules are changed. Suddenly it is important that electricity costs are evened out across the province, Thus industries can still locate in Toronto and be subsidized to stay there by those people closer to the power plants who have to pay more than their true share of costs for electricity, The fact is that the rules of the game are constantly changed by the people in power, including the government, for the benefit of those in power. Fortunately for the country, the Toronto power brokers have come up against an opponent that doesn't have to play by the rules of the power brokers. We in the rural areas of Ontario have never had the power to change the rules to our own benefit, Premier Loughecd and the new business elite of Alberta do. Things are going to change no matter what Mr. Miller wants. What's more, and this is the thing that has badly divided the country, the people in control in Ontario set the rules for the rest of the country to make Ontario even richer than it would have been if it only depended on its resources, The freight rate system, for instance, has been a thorn in the side of westerners for years, providing cheap rates to take raw materials out of the west to Ontario to be manufactured but charging high rates to take the manufac- tured goods back. But now the tide is starting to turn. The increased cost of energy and the plentiful supply in the west, particularly Alberta is shifting the power base of the country out of downtown Toronto into Calgary and Edmonton. Now when the shift of power from Montreal to Toronto took place you didn't find the Ontario government complaining or saying that something should be done to keep things the sante, That was looked on as a natural progression. Too bad perhaps for the poor people of Montreal but those were the breaks. But now, when the power is leaving Ontario for Alberta, well something must be done, Alberta should share the wealth by spreading the profits around. Alberta should stop giving tax incentives to lure petroleum refiners out of Ontario and into the West. Hog wash, Mr, Miller. The best thing that can happen to this country is a more even distribution of power and riches. I don't think Ontario, is going to become beggared in the near future.

Accepting the chair is Chester Archibald, administrator for Huronview (left) from Henry Pattison and Jim Chalmers, both from Blyth. (Clinton News Record Photo) Prophets of gloom We should resist the prophets of gloom. One of these were Aurelio .Peccei, president of the Club of Rome. He was delivering the keynote address in Ottawa recently. He said that the world is getting older but not better, that there is probably less than a decade left before certain options which may still be open are lost. One way to resist the prophets of gloom is to endeavourto see the the world in better perspective. For instance, let us imagine that the entire progress of the human race is represented by a period of 50 years. This is for many a more easily compassable period, and carries more meaning than descriptive writing in terms of tens of millions of years. Until 49 of the 50 years were over man would not have begun to be at all civilized. Having emerged to something worth calling human, he would still be hunting with primitive weapons. He would have no settled environment. Yet note the sudden and swift change. Half way through the fiftieth year man invents writing. Only in the last two months of the fiftieth year would he know the blessings of Christianity. Man's printing press would be only a fortnight old. And only in the last week he travelled by road. An hour or so ago he learned to fly. Peccei's keynote address outlined many of the Club of Rome's beliefs first stated in 1968 when the Club of Rome was established. It may be significant that the president somewhat relieved a traditional pessimism by saying, "we are living in a kind of period of grace." Aurelio Peccei spoke better than he knew. Since then Pope John Paul 1 has become Bishop of Rome. History is full of surprises. For that matter, this world of ours is but a child, still in the go-cart. Take heart. Give it time to learn its limbs: there is a Hand that guides. (The United Church) To the editor: Questions Sunday openings It was with a sense of shock that we learned that yet another place of business was to be open on Sunday. We haven't been very happy with the Sunday openess in Blyth but at least some have had the courtesy to remain closed to I p,ni. Why 11 a.m.? That is just too much to tolerate. This has been discussed in our groups of women -and many have expressed the opinion that, through the years they have patronized the local shops because they felt a sense of loyalty to the owners; but they would not continue to do this if the Sunday opening is persisted in. When women travel to large centres for clothing it is very tempting to shop around for other things. This will hurt every store in Blyth.

The potential annual tax credit for each new em- ployee is over $3,000, And there is no limit to the number of new employees you can hire. Now, by using the expe- rience we've gained so fat; we've changed the program to make it even more attractive. Up to 331/3% more tax credit. The maxhnun1 term for the tax credit has been increased from nine to 12 months for each new enlployee.That means up) to 331/2% more tax ('I'edit.

Many things change, new ideas come but people re- quire something stable, something permanent on which to rely. If any one sees an opportunity in his or her work in life to make an affirmation,grasp it and use it, they said.

At this precise moment Ivan Dow of Calvin -Brick ap- proached the altar and read the following address to the completely surprised Rev, Roberts. "For 25 years you have been a minister of Christ's Church. Such a sustained period of commitment, witness and service provides just cause for celebration. We earnestly desire to share your joy on this occasion, We rejoice that you chose to heed God's ..all to the minister of the Word and Sacraments. We further re- joice that you responded in the affirmative to what, we like to think was God's call to Canada. Because of that "yes", a certain ardent Welsh minister and his wife Kay joined our two congregations in Huron and have continued in the re- lationship of pastor to the people for more than eleven years. These have been years rich in Christian fellowship for us. Somehow, your profound: understanding of the Gospel and its implications for the life of man has caused us tohear the Good News as we haven't heard it before. Please God we respond!

(519)527-1303 Free parking at side of building THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 29, 1978 - 9 Equality questioned as board plans spending By Wilma Oke If the ministry of education approves, the Huron•Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board will spend about $588,500 on school improvements and new buses in 1979, about $317,500 in 1980 and about $785,000 in 1981, 1982 and 1983 for a total capital expenditure of $1,691,000, over the next five years, The board set its priorities Monday night. First on the list was St. Michael's School, Stratford, where the board hopes to convert classrooms 1 and 2 into industrial arts rooms and classrooms 3 and 4 into home ecnomics rooms and the gym balcony into a music room, including equipment for each. The estimated cost is $185,000. Its second priority for 1979 is to add three classrooms at St. Joseph's School in Clinton to replace two portables there now, plus the addition of a special education facility there for the pupils in the'county-of Huron, The estimated cost is $368,500. Its third priority for 1979 is the purchase of two new buses to replace two 1973 66 -passenger buses at an estimated cost of $35,000. In 1980 the board proposes to buy tw9 additional new buses for an estimated $36,000 to replace two 1974 72 -passenger buses. In addition the board proposes two classrooms, resource centre, kitchen and sleeping accommodation as a faicility for out -door education for the system schools in co-operation with one of the Conservation Authorities in the two counties, at an estimated cost of $281,500, In 1981 the boards would consider the purchase of a 4 to 5 -acre site in the town of Listowel at an estimated cost of $100,000 and then in 1982 a new school on the site --five classrooms, library resource and general purpose room, change rooms and health room at an estimated cost of $410,000, Also planned for 1982 at. St. Joseph's School in Stratford, a library resource, general purpose and change rooms at an estimated cost of $275,000, List Open 'William Eckert, Director of Education, LAND SAKES, I SOLD THAT OLD BUGGY With A Want Ad said the improvements would "look after some of our needs but the list is open for deletions or additions of items not already there", Trustee Ronald Murray of Dublin questioned why schools lacking such things as gyms were not included in the list of proposals. He stated, "We're not going for equality of education -- some schools have everything and others- zilch!" He was told the board would lack credibility if it included in its lists of proposals the needs of every school. Trustee Ronald Marcy of Stratford asked when the board could expect a reply from the ministry of education on its decision to approve or not approve the proposals in the five-year forecast. He was told it could be February or not at all. He suggested that if the board was turned down it should send a delegation to Toronto to speak directly to ministry officials. Outdoor Ed. Trustee William Kinahan of Lucknow questioned the outdoor education centre and what conservation authority would be involved. Mr, Eckert told him it could be any authority •in the two counties and the proposal to the ministry had to be submitted early because if approved, much time was needed to research locations and work out the agreement. Mr. Eckert said many boards had worked out agreements and the ministry looked favourably on such projects. John O'Leary of Staffa asked about the school at Exeter, "i think the board only did a minimum there this year". To which Mr. Eckert replied that possibly during the next few years with the continuing growth in Exeter it would be necessary to look into improvements there.

An ad hoc committee has been named to interview applicants for the position of superintendent of education for the board following the recent resignation of Joseph Mills. Named were William Kinahan, John O'Drowsky and Keith Montgomery for the board to work with Director William Eckert and Rev, Tony Sonderup, president of Huron -Perth Deanery, Ted Geoffrey was named as alternate, Smiles An elderly -gentleman won $100,000 in the lottery. Since he had a bad heart, his family was concerned that the goodncIivsmight bring on a heart attack. They asked the pastor to come over to break the great news to the N%inncr. The pastor's approach was subtle. He talked for a while on sundry subjects to his old parishioner, and then deftly slipped in this question: "'fell me, Sam, what would you do if you won the lottery and got $100,000?" Said Sam: "Why, I'd give you and the church half of it." The pastor keeled over. Mr, Eckert said with the deadline Monday 20 applications for the position had been received. The board approved a leave of absence for Mrs, Stella Farwell, Grade 1 teacher at St, Aloysuis school in Stratford from January 1 to August 31, 1979. Library Trustee Mickey Vere reported that Dan Devlin would be willing to continue to represent the board as a representative on the Stratford Library Board and that Fred Bergsma indicated he expected he would be able to continue as a representative, as well.

Subdivision bylaws pass Belgrnc's Plctch subdivision was the subject of two bylaws passed at last Thursday's Morris 'Township council meeting. Under the first bylaw, the township will retain four lots in toe subdivision -one to be used as a I•oadw;1y and the other three for security. The second bylaw was for the recorvey- ancc of Tots to Bonnie and 'Thelma Plelch. Council also discussed a second subdivi- sion in I3elgravc. Members of council decided 10 withdraw their objections in tl1 matter of casement in the Humphries subdivision and to enter into an agreement with hast Wavanosb towhship. Under the new agreement, Morris Town- ship would construct and maintain the chain and East Wawanosb would not be allowed 10 tap into this drain without the approval of the Morris township engineer. 'I'11c Ministry of 'Transport and Communi- ations (MTC) also notified council that :vlartins bridge, on Lots 10, I1 on Con. 6 must be repaired. M'I'C' said repairs which would mean the Toad limit on the bridge could he increased to 15 tons, would cost in the $15-$20,000 price range and the bridge would have a 10 to 15 year life expectancy, The alternative would be replacing the bridge at a cost of $225,000 plus the cost of road approaches. M IC suggested council delay its decision on the bridge until further information was vailal ie on what funding the township could g.•I to make repairs. Council also learned a court of revision on the Johston-I?Ilison drain will be held at the I3elgravc Arena 011 December 7 . The clerk said letters had been received appealing the chain. Council decided to try and talk to ratepayers along the Johnston -Ellison chain. Council also decided to hold a ratepayer's meeting on the Belgrave streetlights in the Woolens' Institute Hall in the village on December 12. Councillor Sant I'Ictch said Morris 'Town- ship residents would like council to hold an open ratepayers' meeting. Councillor Ross Procter recommended holding the meeting when council's financial minutes come out in 111e spring. No definite date for Ole meeting was set.

Board chairman John Elliott told the board at its final session Monday night the practice of automatically renewing six board owned buses every year may be unnecessary pointing out that some of the money spent on new vehicles could be funneled into other areas. The suggestion was made when the board was asked by John Cochrane, director of education, to approve a five year capital expense forecast Mr. Cochrane explained to the board that the five year program is required by the ministry of education for Ontario to permit the pro- vince to set down a provincial spending forecast. The director said the province has niet the requirments of the Huron board with the excep- tion of one major area, additional hone economics and industrial arts faclities in elementary schools. Mr. Cochrane told the board that considering the minstry's record of ignoring Huron County's request for funds to establish industrial. Arts and Horne Ec, centres at Turnberry, Hullett and Exeter Public Schools the board could consider not asking any more. Cochrane said the futility of the request indicated that perhaps the Wingham trustee Jack board should just ask for Alexander said it appeared money for the continuance of the six buses due for replace - replacing six board owned ment were "let go" by the buses each year. The bus board's transportation de - replacing practice is done partment so that by the time due to ministry guidelines they are due to be taken off that totally depriciate school the road they are "shot". buses over seven year. Mr. Alexander suggested that by taking better care of the vehicles the board may get more mileage from them. Mr. Elliott said that some necessary. The chairman said some of the buses replaced may be worthy of more mileage and that the board could attempt to keep the vehicles on the road using the money saved to establish the Hoine Economic -Industrial Arts classrooms. Brussels trustee Donald McDonald noted that it may not be possible for the board to transfer that capital as easily as that. He said the ministry might simply keep the money itself and give the Huron board only enough for the buses. Mr. Elliott suggested that the board's habit of replacing six buses a year may not be Lung Assoc. to test carbon monoxide The Huron Perth Lung Association is purchasing an ecolizer in co-operation with the Oxford Lung Association to test carbon monoxide levels in schools, factories and other localities. The association experimented with a borrowed ecolizer during the recent Inter- national Plowing Match in Wingham. At a recent meeting of the management committee of the Huron Perth Lung Assoication, committee members expressed their a - appreciation volunteers who prepared 55,000 letters with Christmas seals and in- formation which were dis- tributed to Huron and Perth County homes. Mrs. Jean Cann of Exeter reported children with asthma would begin a series of exercises and fun at the YM -YWCA pool in Stratford. Also, Rev. E. Nelson of Avonton reported breathing classes in Seaforth have re- sumed with Mrs, Carol Bowker of Clinton con- ducting the classes. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. Ma y Dodds of Stratford. of the buses may indeed be scrap but fclt sure some should not be replaced. He said there may be four buses due for replacement and two that could be kept on the job, saving the board the cost of two new vehicles, He said in the past two years three of the buses the board has replaced have been put back into service by bus con- tractors. The board tenders for the sale of the vehicles, a contractor buys them and keeps them on the road to transport students under a contract with the board. The chairman said two years ago two of the six buses the board sold were put back on the road by contractors and this year one of the buses was put back in service. He suggested that the board consider the policy before it automatically agrees to it. Seaforth trustee John Henderson felt that a delay could put the board iii •' a financial dilmena it faces in other areas. Mr. Henderson said if the board "lays off a year or two it may be facing the same problem it is in replacing equipment in technical classrooms in the county high schools". He said the board could not afford to "keep up to the situation to avoid facing a large expenditure it can't handle," Wingham trustee Murray Mulvey suggested under- coating the new buses to get more mileage out of them. IHe said rust seems to be a problem the buses are victimized by pointing out that in many cases the vehicles "rust out before they wear out", Mr. Mulvey said the board could consider getting the buses rust proofed when they are new. The board agreed to drop the provision of industrial Arts-Homnc Econmics class- rooms from its five year capital expense forecast and make provision for the re- placement of six board owned buses. The budget committee hopes to sit down with transportation manager to review the practice of autos: itically re- placing six buses a year.

Name Huron homemakers board By Wilma Oke The recently incorporated Town and Country Home- makers organization elected a nine -member board of directors at an inaugural Meeting i n Clinton Wednesday. The association began operating a year ago with a Canada Works grant under the direction of a steering committee, Betty Cardno, of Seaforth, Huron Home Care Administrator, was named chairman and Catherine Walsh of Goderich, Director of Public Health Nurses of Huron County Health Unit, was named secretary. A nine -member board was named as well. A former homemaker, .lean Young of 'I'ceswatcr, was hired as the adminis- trator placement officer, with an office in Wingham . Nelly Gonic-Tak was hired as development officer. Homemaking services arc available to any resident of Huron County who can buy the services of a homemaker on a private basis --such as the elderly, handicapped, chronically ill in order that they do not have to go into a hospital or nursing home. As well families can hire home- makers to look after children or other dependents when absent during holidays, ill- ness or convalescence. Also buying the home- makers service is the Home Care Program which pro- vides health care to selected patients according to in- dividual needs. O.H.i.P. will pay the charges for these patients for a limited time. As well the Social Services and Family and Children's Services may help pay the homemaker's fees where: a child needs care during the absence of mother or other person in whose charge he is; or for elderly, handicapped, ill or convalescent who re- quire such services on a part-time basis in order that he remain in his own home. And lastly the Cancer Society may buy the services for people who wish to be cared for in their own hones. In her report Administrator Jean Young spoke of the tax dollars saved by providing the home- makers service which allows people to remain at home rather than have to go to a nursing home or a hospital. E.W, Oddleifson, reeve of Bayfield, who was attending' the meeting, remarked of the homemaking agency; "A grent idea—something that • has been .u.'cde(I for a long to assist private families in time," paying for the homemakers service over a long period of Both Mrs. Cardno and Mrs, Young spoke of the. time.

Over 140 members of the Huron County Holstein club listened to Dr, Bediri tell of the advancements in the field of non surgical embryo tran- sfers, at their annual meeting in Belgrave, Friday, This method of breeding is not a new concept. The first embryonic transfers were done in Cambridge, England in 1890 with rabbits to deter- mine if recipient mothers could genetically effect embryos. In the 1930's lab animals were raised by this method, and in 1951 the first calf was born in an experimental dairy herd. It was not until 1969-70 that more reports concerning embryo trans- plants were received. "At present doctors are finding a 90% success rate for surgical embryo trans- plants." Dr. Bediri said. Dr. Bediri pointed out that with the introduction of exotic cattle in Canada re- search has advanced con- siderably. "These breeds (exotic) de- manded high prices. "said Dr. Bediri . "They had to be brought into Canada and the second generation could then be exported to the States which did not allow for importation of cattle from other countries." Too Long "The long quarantine made it too long to wait for the cattle to be bred and calved, So cattle were super ovulated and the eggs were flushed out and placed in recipient cows already in the country." Dr. Bediri said. The situation was ideal for experimentation for those who were willing to take the risk, said Dr. Bediri, "What would have taken,years was done in a much shorter time period." For established breeds in Canada this method of developing herds would lead to better stock and for larger herds to be sold abroad, He said, WI hears spinner Correspondent Mrs. Lewis Stonehouse 887-9847 The Canadian Industries meeting of the Belgrave Women's Institute was held on November 21.

The chosen cow is programmed by the intro- duction of hormones to cause the ovaries to super ovulate. "The ovaries swell and must now not be confused with cysts" Dr, Bediri said, Dr, Bediri favoured hormones taken from the pituitary gland of pigs as opposed to cows which is low in the required hormone and pregnant mares hormone which is rich in horse protein and could cause problems. The food and drug depart- ment requires milk to be withheld when PMS (pregnant mares) is used. If the FSH (pituitary gland homone) is used there is no witholding. Both the biological mother and the recipient' mothers must be induced into heat at the sank time. "The embryos niay be kept alive for one day, or they can be frozen." said Dr. Bediri. "We have a 65 per cent conception rate and if freezing occurs the rate drops to 40 to 50 percent." There are some draw backs. Dr. Bediri pointed 25% of the embryos are lost because of their fragile nature, "It is also expensive and there are not that many highly skilled people available to do the job." said Dr. Bediri. "Embryos can only be frozen on the seventh day." "Some farmers could pro- fit from this procedure but it is still an expensive pro- position," Said Dr, Bediri, Dr. Bediri suggested that in the future there will be small mobile units travelling to the farms making Embryo transplant accessible to the average farmer. There were questions raised about the sexing of the embryos before being im- planted so that farmers would not be wasting their time with bulls when heifers were the order of the day. "Embryos can besexed at 16 days by looking a sliver of tissue under the micro- scope." Dr. Bediri sai g "But that is too late fdr implanting the embryo." Sexing semen is a harder problem. PH levels have been checked. Electric fields and gravity pulls among other methods have been used but there is still nothing conclusive." said Dr, Bediri, 1 Wonderful GULBRANSEN organ sound at its best 11 Hi!

The Minister of the En- vironment, The Honourable Harry Parrott, this week presented a progress report 'to the Legistraturc on the plan for liquid industrial waste disposal, covering six areas of concern, He announced that a new system for classification of wastes, which identifies various classes of substances and the requirements for treatment or disposal for each classification, has been completed, providing de- finitive guidance to the generators and handlers of industrial waste. The way -bill system is to be improved, so that each load of waste will be traced from the producer to final disposal. This system is de- signed to provide a check on any specific load of waste, as well as to give an overview of the total industrial waste production in the Province and a breakdown of the various classes and quantities produced. Penalties will be imposed on violators for failure to comply or for illegal dumping. Guidelines are being drawn up for the storage, treatment and disposal of hauled liquid industrial wastes. Effective January 1st, 1980, the disposal of un- treated liquid wastes in land - Industrial waste disposal discussed fill sites other than secure chemical sites specifically engineered for that purpose will be banned. The Ministry will under- take to lease or purchase sites for waste treatment and disposal centres, in order to maintain. full control of the way they arc operated under contract with private operators. Discussions have taken place with the Federal En- vironment Minister re- garding the flow of industrial waste across the Canada - U.S. border. Presently, Canadian industry is de- pendent upon facilaities in the United States for the disposal of certain industrial wastes, including PCB's. The Canadian Government I has reached agreement with U.S. authorities that the border remain open to the flow of industrial wastes. However, this is only a stop -gap measure, and further discussions will be held to seek more permanent solutions to this problem. Culture and Recreation Minister Reuben Baetz has indicated that all new ap- plications for Wintario money will be frozen until some sort of priority is established with respect to approvals, because so many groups are applying for as- sistance, Applications have been made at twice the rate Centralia plans short courses Ontario farmers don't have to get the 'short end' when it conies to knowing the latest production techniques. They can attend short courses at the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology. Fifteen ; agricultural short. courses will be offered at the college ,in early 1979, says Doug Jamieson, short course coordinator. All but three are one day long. "We hope that a farmer might learn enough in the one day to pay for his day • away from the farm, the cost of the course, and even his gas," The short courses, scheduled from January until April, cost $4.00 per day. They are aimed at profes- sional farriers, farm em- ployes, and novice farm. erg, Instructors will cone krom agricultural colleges, g^vernment, and farm-re- ir ecl industries. Courses will cover four main subject areas -livestock, farm management, engine- ering, and soils and crops. Seven of the 15 courses are new, says Mr. Jamieson. New topics include white beans, seed production, transferring farm assets, basicd pork production, and alternative energy sources for farms. Some of last year's of- ferings will be back again- farm income tax, sow herd management, beef feedlot management, and cutting farm energy costs.

In a tough costcutting statement, Miller said Ontario will receive about $400 million less than it had expected from Ottawa,. Mr. Miller also said that former ,treasurer Darcy McKcough's commitment to balance Ontario's $1.5 billion debt by 1981 will be pushed back to 1984 , because revenues have not lived up to expectations.

Present efforts to meet those needs in smaller centres should help in dealing with problems that will arise in larger centres as their percentage of senior citizens increases. Towns like Exeter, Clinton, Listowel, Wingham, Mitchell, Harriston, and Luck - now have between 15 per cent and 24 per cent of their population over the age of 65. By comparison, local townships range between seven and 12 per cent senior citizens, and cities like Mississauga are as low as fot' per cent. In Canada as a whole, just nine per cent of the population is over the age of 65, Experts tell us that by the year 2001 the national percentage of senior citizens will be about 12 per cent, and by 2031 it is expected to reach 20 per cent. The Rural Development Outreach Pro- (R.D.O.P.) of the University of Guclpl • ‘vhich is working in the local arca, has met with local agency personnel who suggest that a comprehensive study of the needs, concerns, and expectations of senior citizens should help provide inlnlccfiate answers for the local community. At the sank time, they expect such efforts to point the way for future planning to meet the needs of Canada's elderly, The Rural Development Outreach Pro- ject has already begun to accumulate information on the -elderly in parts of Huron County, and plans to continue in the hope of providing a clearer understanding of the problems of an agingpopulation in a rural arca. The facts and opinions already gathered have confirmed the view that an emphasis 011 the needs and concerns of senior citizens would be an appropriate and useful way for the University of Guelph to support rural development in Huron County, and indeed throughout the pro- vince. The preliminary efforts show clearly that the problems relating to quality of life for Ithe elderly in a rural community arc many, Finding solutions will demand co-ordinated and concerted effort. Here arc sonic of the ttnatngs to date: Retired citizens attending a workshop on the elderly, sponsored by .the R.D.O.P. of the University of Guelph, identified the following difficulties facing seniors in a rural area: Changes in the rural pattern of living \v'crc seen as factors which affected all parts of society but created special problems for senior citizens who often found itdifficult to change and adapt to them. Lack of communication with other senior's was observed as an alienating factor and contributed to feelings of isolation. While improved health facilities arc available to the community, seniors felt that in some areas the lack of a "local doctor" created an uneasy situation for them. Transportation is dependent in large part on the wishes of others and at their convenience -sometimes vehicles, whether private or public arc not suitable to seniors. In 0 survey of the Wingham and "I'urnbcrry Township area, 20 per cent of the seniors said they were not satisfied with services availab.c In the sank survey, answer's indicated a Dick of transportation for seniors, and a lack of information about services that were available in the community. Local agency personnel within the community have outlined 'a number of areas of concern to seniors. These include: Isolation and loneliness were observed as predisposing factors to many types of chronic illnesses. No central: information service for seniors exists. Some assistance to persons with disabilities is available from various service clubs; however, this information is not always readily available to the group in need, Insufficient financial resources resulting in unsatisfactory housing conditions and inadequate nutritional levels were felt to be problems facine seniors, Inadequacy of services (gaps) and inefficiencies due to distance werc'evident.

Imo �::� %�� 20 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 29, 1978 Huron board ok's trips to London for handicapped child The Huron County Board of Education agreed Monday night to pick up the tab to send a five year old handicapped child to the London and District Crippled Children's Treatment Centre from his home in Stephen Township. The request was made by the child's mother, Kathy Bullock, to have her son transported daily to the London centre for morning kindergarten classes and afternoon therapy sessions. The youngster suffers from cerebal palsy. Superintendent of Education Don Kenwell told the board the tuition fees for the student would amount to $15 a day but that the board's share of that cost, 48 percent, would amount to $7,20, the remaining $7,80.a day being paid by the ministry of education. Transportation costs were much heftier according to Kenwell. He said three quotes had been received, one from Lang Bus Lines had a daily rate of $60, one from Murphy Bus Lines cost $75 a day and one from Exeter Bus Lines, in a van with otl..r children, would cost $20 a clay. The ministl pays 82 percent of the transportation cost' and the board the rest. Mr. Kenwell told the board Mrs. Bullock had recently moved to Huron County from Middlesex County.

John Cochrane, director of education, told the board that he was not exactly clear on the board's responsibilities under the education act but said that to the best of his memory the board had a responsibility to pay tuition fees only for the youngster. He said the board had the option to pay none, a share of, or all the costs for transportation. .IYIr: Kenwell pointed out that -he was not - faruiliar with the family but did know that the father "did not move this time" with the fancily, He added that the board's share of the transportation for Exeter Coach Lines would be 18 percent. That share amounts to $3.60 a day. Vice chairman Don McDonald asked if the child could be put up in London in a boarding house, "He is a bit young", said Mr. Kenwell. Boardchairman John Elliott pointed out after the meeting that the fees to send the Bullock child to London were probably not that much more than fees the board pays to transport mentally retarded children to the training centres operated in some county elementary schools.

As he was dismis- and television, advertise- ments express it. Much is said about the Love of God also, but most of this talk seems to be one sided. One thing we certainly don't want to talk, or hear about is man's sin. Man almost wants to change the label to Essense of Pepper- mint. The milder we make the label the more dangerous the poison becomes, Ezekeil 18:4 says "The soul that sinneth shall die." This is forcefully illustra- ted by an incident connected with the painting of DaVinci's masterpiece, "The Last Supper". He looked for a long time for a suitable model for his Christ. Finally he found him in Pietro Bandinelli, a young man with a radiant face, So Pietro modelled for his picture of Christ... Years passed and the painting was not finished The eleven disciples had all been sketched and now DaVinci was looking for a model for his Judas.

And with less reason. Even during the Depression, people weren't so angry and whining, They were scared and worried and frustrated, because there was no work and they sometimes didn't know where the next meal was corning from. But they were also lean and tough and ingenious and independent. They didn't spend all their time bitching about the government. Maybe we've got too fat and too lazy and too government -dependent during the last forty -odd years. During and after World War 11, we sailed happily into the select few nations that had the highest living standard in the world, and we've never recovered. We thought all we had to do was lie back like a high priced prossie and let the money roll in. Germany and Japan were licked, and the British were bankrupt and North America was living high off the hog. Everybody was buying new cars and houses and boats and summer properties, because the cornucopia of goodies had no bottom. All we had to do was keep the Red Menace at bay, and the Yanks would look after that. For a decade or so after the war, the pipe -dream lasted, even got more colors and more shine, industry and business were booming, The Americans were pouring in development money. But a combination of things put the handwriting on the wall. My salary quad- rupled in a decade. And so did yours. But it still wasn't enough. We developed a reputation as a nation that was completely untrustworthy when it cane to labor relations and strikes. We took on massive social aid plans such as medicare, that we really couldn't afford. We tried to outdo every other country in the world when it came to unemployment insurance and welfare and pensions. The bills, with interest; kept piling up in the leading capitals of the world. At the same time, Germany, Japan and other nations with populations only too eager tc work their butts off. to get rid of starvations and cold and housing shortages, aided by a massive injection of funds from the U.S., panicky about the Cold War, began to rebuild with a speed and singleness of purpose that was frightening. Our trade languished because our pro- ducts were too expensive to meet the coopetition. Our international clout dimin- ished rapidly as we welshed on our NATO committments, kept our foreign aid frugal, and waffled when we should have snarled, in the U.N. And now it's all coming home to roost, And we're crying like a bunch of babies. We've wrcsteld inflation to the ground, but who's on top in the fall? Our dollar is propped up by interest rates that *ould make me turn green with sweat profusely were I a young husband hoping to buy a house with a big mortgage. Say $40,000 at 11.5 per cent. Figure it out, boy. And it (the dollar)) is still worth only 85c U.S., which isn't much good either, beside the yen and the mark and the franc. A friend of mine, who fought with the German Army in North Africa gets a bigger war pension than I do, PLUS a civilian pension from Germany worth $150 a month, because the mark is so healthy. Who the heck won the war, anyway? We did, but we lost the peace. With inimitable resources, we have a horrendous unemployment rate. The country is going into debt to the ttine of billions a year. Taxes are high and everclimbing. And why? Greed. We all want more and more of everything: new highways, new airports, bigger pensions, bigger salaries, two cars in every garage, and meat at least Nix times a week. But look around you, and sec if our un -Canadian whining is justified. it's still one of the best countries in the world to live physically. Take in a supermarket. There's a power of complaining about prices, but people, even the relatively poor, arc snapping up luxury items: frozen foods, oranges, California grapes, hot -house tomatoes, chicken, lamb chops, deodorants, bought cakes. In the old days, the only time I saw an' orange or a grape in the house was at Christmas. I didn't know what a lamb chop tasted like until I came of age. A chicken was something you bought from a farmer for a dollar, plucked and eviscerated yourself, and had for a special Sunday dinner, with relatives. My mother would have considered frozen food an abomination of the devil, and a temptation for lazy women. Deodorants consisted of soap. And yet we never went hungry and never stank. Well, maybe a little, by the end of the week. Don't misunderstand mc. I don't want to go back to the old days, when my Dad developed ulcers worrying about the coal bill, and my Mom worked until midnight patching and sewing to keep us decent. But I'm getting heartily sick of Canadians who arc worried about missing the trip to the Caribbean this winter, or having to put off' the purchase of a new car until next summer. t)uitch crb1tchin!
