Over 40 members attended, making it one of the best attended meetings in ages. The subject of severance of corner lots on farms came under heated debate as members questioned a resolution submitted by Stanley township to have • severed lots zoned rural residential which makes owners aware of nuisance, noise and smell of farm operations. It was point ed out that in some townships retiring farmers who want to build on the corner of their farm don't need a severance to obtain a building permit. Many members argued that the land should be left zoned agricultural. OFA past president, Gordon Hill, Varna, and Mason Bailey, Blyth, were both vocal opponents of the resolution. Mr. Hill felt the resolution was asking members how they stood on severances and wondered if Beat the price farmers needed to be that drastic here in Huron County. Mr. Bailey pointed out that the restrictions proposed would penalize farmers. He sited the example of the farmer who owned a 400 acre farm and was denied a severance to build a retirement home. The farmer ended up going down the road and paying $14,000 for a lot to build his house on. "People who have money will find a way to live in the country" said Mr. Bailey. The resolution was referred to the F of A's land use committee for ironing out before submission to Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Bev Brown, Bluevale, told members that there is talk that the import duty ontwine may go up in the spring. Complaints have been received that twine is being dumped from Tasmania and Mex ico. If subsidization is proved in those countries then the case will be brought before the Anti Dumping Tribunal. Ms. Brown pointed out that Agriculture Canada does not know about the situation but the Ontario Federation is aware of the problem. Huron members passed a resolution to ask the Ontaio F of A to become actively interested in the case in Ottawa and to make sure that no import duty is put on twine, A request for support for an erosion study by four area youths were received and members recommended support with the understanding that the students explore possible solutions rather than problems. The students are applying for a Young Canada Works program to develop an educational slide 'show and cassette that will be offered to groups for viewing. The presentation will be self•explanitory. Maurice Bean and Norman Alexander, both members of the Erosion Committee, felt that groups did not know what they are looking for when undertaking a study of this nature. "I am into the 18th showing of my slide show (on erosion)" said Mr. Alexander, "And people want slides of results". The members Subscribe now Because of increased printing, newsprint, postage, wage and overhead costs, subscription and single copy prices of the Blyth Standard must go up next month. After Friday, March 2 a one year's subscription to the Standard will be $10 a year in Canada still less than 20 cents a week or the price of a cup of coffee. In an effort to help senior citizens on fixed incomes the Standard is introducing a special senior citizen subscription rate of $9 a year.

Ten have enrolled. Members of the last federation speaking class have given two speaking en , gements and have two more coming up. The federation does speak to service clubs, and members of the course are invited to speak. Members were offered lessons on writing press releases and reports. The course is three Saturdays long and anyone interested may contact ,Brenda McIntosh, Brumfield, Members divided into regional groups and discussed membership drives and communications with current members and recruiting. Update memberships data, foreign ownership and dealing with local concerns were among the major topics of discussion The discussion was started • with Tony McQuail, head of program and education committee, throwing ideas out to the members for discussion in groups. Louise Marriott, federation member and co-ordinator for the Rural Development Outreach Program gave a brief history of the Federation. Getting old members out to meetings and enlisting and signing up new members is a problem many said. Many members felt they needed more information before going out to sell memberships., but others disagreed. Mason Bailey found that being sincere sold a lot more than statistics. Jim Mclntosh suggested that members watch for new farmers moving into the area. Suggestions varied from annual dances, as a reward for a year of effort for members, to showing films available free from the libraries to spark interest in members at the township level.' Workshops and kitchen meetings for county lines (Continued on Page 2) EVERYBODY STEP BACK—No, fire captain Jim Howson didn't really say that, but it would have been a good warning when he showed how an aresol can reacts to fire, To the left is fireman Dave Lee.

From Me to You No one wins these strikes BY RHEA HAMILTON For the past few weeks i have been keeping an car open to the wave of news corning out of Britain concerning the many and varied strikes. The labourers have ended their financial restraint programs and are using rotating strikes to bring the country to its knees and get their demands met. The most recent "attack" THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 7, 1979 — 3 has been in the hospitals where the manual workers have gone on strike, All the jobs that keep su;h an institution going have been let slide so that nurses and doctors have to spend time away from the patients to do manual jobs in order to keep the hospital running on a minimum basis. The sore point I see is that the children's hospitals suffer more than some of the others, Children are being neglected because there are not enough hands to take care of them. On the radio this morning the reporter from London England talked with some of the patients in the hospitals and one fellow who was dying of cancer and often had a tube down his throat for some medical reason, had offered to get out of bed and help do dishes or Sugar £t Spice by Bill Smiley The anti metric campaign After about 10 days of solid blizzards and bad driving, low temperatures and a lower temperament, my social, intellectual and emotional life hovering around zero (Fahrenheit), I wondered what to write about this week. Came home from work, picked up the mail, and there was a fat package from something called AMC, Ottawa, I turned it over a couple of times, wondering whether the initials meant Ancient Military Curmudgeons, from some veterans' outfit, or All Men Cowards, from some rabid women's lib crowd. Not to worry. Democracy is still rearing its bruised and battered head here and there in this our native land. The package was from Anti -Metric Canada, its single and avowed purpose the stamping out of the metrication of our fair white country. It contained: an honorary membership card; a bumper sticker which shouts, "Pound Out Metric"; a newsletter with a number of spelling and grammar errors; a personal letter from the president; a petition to send to my M.P.; a full page of anti -metric propaganda; and a quiz or survey loaded with questions.along the line of, "When did you stop beating your wife?" Sample question. "Do you realize that under the metric system that (sic) the farmers will lose (sic) money and the dairy cartel win?" Answer yes/no, How can you answer a question like that? With a yes or no? Personally, I think it's high time the farmers were pried loose from some of their money, and the whole thing is putting the cartel before the cow. Another sample: "Do you believe that people come before computers?" Well, yes and no, We were here before the computers, but when it comes to arguing with one over a boo-boo on your chargex, it's obvious that they come before us. And 1 have a secret hunch that they'll be here long after the human race has disappeared, chattering and giggling away among themselves about how they so finally, and so easily, got rid of us. Just one more sample. "Do you want the Canadian public to pay $2.00 a gallon for gas?" Answer: depends on whether you think a gallon of gas is more important thana pound of beef, If the Ay-rabs can get $2 a gallon for it, and you don't have any, that's what you'll pay. If the beef farmer can get $3 a pound for sirloin, and you don't happen to have a steer tied up in the garage, that's what you'll pay. Elemental. These questions are being sent to M. P.'s, Migod, I hereby resign my honorary membership in the Anti -Metric . Canada organization. I am much more sympathetic with their aims than their means. (But I wonder where they were when I was carrying on a lonely, singlehanded, but valiant fight against metrication a year or so ago?) I detest metrication and all it stands for: conformity, unification, anonymity, and confusion for everyone over thirty years of age. Ask any shopping housewife what she thinks of it? She will probably, if she has thought about it, reply that it's a lovely opportunity for the food barons to °rip everybody off, except those equipped with a pocket calculator and endless time on their hands. A gram here and a millilitre there add up to millions, over a year. And now let's hear from industry. According to it, changing to the metric system was going to make Canada much more competitive in the world market. We are about as competitive as Greenland, and our single biggest customer, the U.S., has not gone metric though it is toying with the madness. When I want to know how cold it is, i tune in to an American TV weather report, get it in Fahrenheit, subract another ten degrees for the difference in latitude, and say to my wife, "Holy Moses, woman, no wonder the pipes froze. It was 12 below last night." And she knows I don't mean Centigrade. Math and science teachers to the contrary, the world got along very well when every nation had its own terms of currency, measurements and weights. In .the days when the sun never set on the British Empire, the British pound had a solid ring to it, anywhere in the world. They didn't give a diddle about changing it to annas, or yen, or marks, Same with the American dollar, for a century or so. It was worth a dollar, not whatever the Swiss and Germans and Japanese decided it was worth. There was a quaintness and a difference and an individuality about currencies and measures and weights, that is being lost in these days of international conformity. 1f a British horse stood 40 hands high and weighed 14 or 44 stone, in a British novel, that was good enough for me. He was either a big horse or a little horse. I didn't haveto get out my calculator. If Bassanio *anted to borrow three 3,000 ducats from Shylock, I knew that was no $78.50, and was satisfied. I know I have no morechance of reversing the metric thing than 1 had of another of my lost causes: that pale pink maple leaf on a dirty grey background that is Canada's national flag, But I wish the AMC luck. And I'm going to use my bumper sticker, if only to annoy my neighbour, a math teacher, who has been flaunting a "Think Metric" sticker for several years. My sticker is bigger, white printing on red, with a big hammer pounding down on the slogan, "POUND OUT METRIC." The organization also has a stubborn little war -cry I rather like. "We won't move our feet an inch." Your toothpaste comes in millilitres (mL) 20°C is a good room temperature 30°C is swimming time 10°C wear a coat take on some of the jobs that kept nurses away from patients, In most cases the strikers are demanding increases of anywhere from 15 percent and up to 35 per cent. The government guidelines have been set for 5 per cent to fight inflation, We here in Canada Can partially sympathize with the Britains. We have suffered under postal strikes for long periods and many of us have the same mistrust of powerful unions. As in all cases where strikes cripple part or all of a country the people turn to the ,government to do something about the strikes; either call it all off, or give into the demands. With no favourable response from that end, there is no other answer but that the people take the situation in hand themselves. One such group of ladies did just that, Appearing to sympathize with picketers outside of their candy plant they carie out and offered to the strikers plenty of chocolate, The picketers were happy until they got that sudden warm feeling and realized that he ladies had spiked their chocolate with a laxitive. I think strikes are good only to the point that they achie c justice for the workers, and no more, In Britain the right to strike is being abused and there is little anyone can do about it. The strikers are out of hand now in many cases, Union leaders have cautioned restraint in order to preserve public favour but strikers have disobeyed orders and stayed out longer than ordered causing more problems than anticipated. When the dust settles after all this mess, it will be interesting to see just how much of many of the problems raised turn up will be in the courts. The Canadian Federation of independent businesses did a survey asking whether members were for or against proceeding with charges against postal union leaders indic ted as a result of their illegal strike. The results showed that 9h percent were in favour of proceeding, 3 per cenit were against ,and only 1 per cent had no opinion. Which just goes to show if the future of the union leaders were left up to the people of small businesses there certainly would be a different tune played. The power of unions has often been disputed by many and in the case of Britain it should be interesting to see if their power it cut in any way. The mercy shown by strikers has not always been extensive, i wonder how much will be extended to them after the strikes arc over and the time to deal squarely comes about. Striking is always a hard way to deal. Both the employee and the employer lose, With the end results causing hardships and bad feelings it is no wonder that so many are now negotiating for months before taking the big step to walk out. Whatever the outcome 1 nope that the British cin not suffer anymore than they have already or it ma;; be a bloody ending to a solid country. ****** On lighter note (if there he one).

But when they assessed the situation they found they had a real problem on their hands. The products was ugly, relatively expensive, people bought it only when they had to, and then they had no pride of possession and didn't show it to anyone. Therefore the company reasoned, "We have to set ourselves apart by demonstrating that there is an extra benefit to be gained by doing business with us. Something people really care about." So they zeroed in on a concern which a large part of the population could relate to and came tip with the slogan, AT SPEEDY YOU'RE A SOMEBODY No mE ntion of price, no dwelling on quality or the product, just. .,at Speedy you're a somebody. Every day, especially if we live in a big city, we are constantly bombarded by experiences and messages which tend to diminish our sense of worth. If you rode the subway today, you probably saw at least 200 people who didn't know who you were and didn't care. You were even an annoyance to some of them because you got.in their way. We are told - "You're too old, too young, too fat, you don't smell right, you have dandruff, you were late coming to work yesterday - no parking - no left turn - have exact fare - keep the grass - no smoking - it goes on and on." Christ observed that the same concern about self worth was held by people 2,000 years ago. Long before the advent of big cities or mass marketing He said - "Listen, everybody, God, my father thinks you are so important that he knows and cares about each one of you, individually - by name"the hairs of your heads are numbered." What he was saying was; IN GOD'S EYES YOU'RE A SOMEBODY. Now that we are somebody, we have a few things about. First, as leaders and spokespersons for the largest group of Protestants in Canada, we see people full of self doubt flocking to psychiatrists, consuming millions of antidepressant drugs, studying transcendental meditation, transactional analysis; and their concern making the books like "I'm OK, You're OK" a best seller. Evidently we are not getting our message across as well as SPEEDY is. Perhaps we have so much- good news for modern man that what we select to tell them is not what they most need to know. Secondly, as individuals - if God thinks you are important and I am importarit we have to assume that He thinks everybody is important. That is not so good because it forces us to change some of our attitudes towards others. What do we do about the neighbor in the next apartment with the loud stereo - the dolt who cuts you off in traffic - the loud ones - the quiet ones - the ones who look funny - or anyone who isn't as normal and competent as we believe we are. Whatever we do, we do not have the right to diminish something honored by God. Namely their sense of worth and their dignity. Fortunately any necessary changes will be made in us automatically if we approach everyone with a greeting in our minds "Hi there, in God's eyes and mine, you are a somebody." To the editor: Snow travellers set rules This message is in reply to a letter the Blyth Snow Travellers received from -the Corporation of the Village of Blyth, The letter was concerned with the carless manner in which some snowmobiles are operating around the village. The Blyth Club has discussed the matter and has set these rules. Anyone snow- mobiling between 2 p.m. to 1 a.m,, please go straigh home quietly; No snowmobiling on Sunday's around by the' churches when service is in session; also, observe private property. We hope this will be relayed to our members of the club and also to the non-members. Blyth Snow Travellers, Blyth, Ontario Walking bullrushes Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Nice guys finish last in the hard, cruel, cynical world of the 1970's, I'm a hopeless case. I'm a sentimentalist. 'ihc sad truth came to light again the other night when the wife and I sat down to watch the movie Rocky on television, it's a watinhearted romantic story about wanu.hearted people. 'That's bad enough, but it even has a hopeful happy ending. It smith like something that cane out of the thittics or forties, not the seventies. You're just not supposed to make that kind of movicw or television show or book these days. Yet there I was, all choked up at the end. And afterward I wondered why they don't make more stories like that anymore. Yuck. How old fashioiecl. Better to go out and blow your brains out than admi• t such a wekness these days. Happy endings are out. Nice people are to be distrusted or better yet, ridiculed. A week ago I'd read a newspaper column in a Toronto newspaper which totaly panned the new Osmond family television show apparently because the people were all too nice. The writer called them the Nausmond family. Now I'm no fan of the show because, like too many other television shows these days, the quality of writing involved is so atrocious that it makes all the characters look idiotic because of the things the writers give them to say. Such criticism of the show would have been fair, but to criticize because the Osmonds smile so much and seem to like each other is getting carried away a little too much. But smiling and being happy is very suspect in the 1970's. A couple of years back another reviewer knocked singer John Denver for being so happy during a concert in Toronto. Anybody who had been around the hard-nosed music business for as many years as Denver, the reviewer said, couldn't be so happy and therefore he must be a fake. Our heroes in movies these days are tough, no-nonsense guys who seldom smile or show any emotion at all. Other people, men and women arc either a nuisance or a convenience to them. They invariably have a cold, cynical mean streak in them that is somehow supposed to make them attractive to audiences, It certainly is attractive to women. Our cold-hearted heros invariably end up having to beat off women With a stick (sometimes literally). Critics love th is kin'i of hero. Somehow he's supposed to be more „real" than smiling happy herds. I've read many times of critics saying that nice guys. real heroic types. are boring and given the good guy versus bad guy situation, they'll cheer for the bad guy every time, Maybe I'ni over sensitive on this whole issue. I've got a vested interest after all. In my own plays and stores I tend to feature characters who, if not exactly heroic in demcnsion, are at least nice honest people who try to do their best for themselves and toward those around them, I'm still a believer in the happy ending and 1 also like to sec people enjoying themselves. To me, one of the most beautiful sounds in the world is to be in a theatre full of people all laughing so hard they can hardly stop to catch their breath. Now that too is old fashioned. The judgement of the "Sophist•icates" comes down hard on writers like me. Comedy writers are too light. Somehow they're just playing at the game while the "Real" writers are turning out heavy plays and novels about hate and anger and deceit and mayhem that send the audience away in a tit of dispair. If your audience enjoyed themselves, you've obviously not clone a very good job. You're something of a hack writer. I think all people who work at making people hopeful and happy sooner or later question whether they're really any good at what they're doing. I've read so many stories about comic actors who long to do Shakespeare to prove that they've got as much talent as the "serious" actors. Writers too I think get hung up on their feelings of (Continuted on Page 10) TROUBLES? --Spark plug maintenance kept one snowmobiler on her toes.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 7, 1979 — 5 Developers will save If county can approve clans Huron County council learned Friday that it could spend $25,000 and save the county housing industry mil- lions of dollars in interest. Months of waiting for ap- proval for housing projects in the county can be avoided and huge interest payments on money raised by developers to finance those projects can he saved ac- cording to a report given council by the county planning board. The project basically turns approval power for housing projects in Huron County over to county council, Any projects now planned for the county have to go to the ministry of hou,in); for final approval and under the suggested system final approval, if no objections• to the development are lodged, would rest with council. The bulk of the savings would be rea lizcd by avoiding the provincial ap- proval. Many plans clear the red tape of planning locally only to sit on the desk of the minister of housing for months. Developers are not permitted to start building until final approval is given by the province and end up waiting an undetermined amount of time. SAVINGS County planner Gary Just a reminder that we are selling the balance of our Women's Sno Boots at 20 % disc. We prepare personal income tax Get your refund before the April rush R. W. Madill's Shoes, Men's & Boys' Wear Blyth, Ont. Clinton Dry Cleaners Pick-up at Madill's o>n Thurs & Fri. Davidson said the approval by council could result in "enormous savings". He said it could chop six months off the waiting period that is a thorn in the sides of developers. He said the savings may be passed on to consumers meaning slightly cheaper housing but pointed out that any decision to pass those savings on would be made by developers. The planner said the pro- ject came before council be- cause if council decided it wanted 10 go ahead with it the courtly planning de- partmem would have to clear up all its outstanding work by January 1. lIc said a junior planner would have to be hired by the county t•, tht fall of 1979 to permit some- one in the department to take over responsibilities created by the approval takeover. - In a report to council the planning board said the total cost of the change would be about $25,000. The initial setup of the system will cost about $1,500 and the salary of the junior planner to he hired is about $16,000. The remainder of the money will be used to set up the administration process to be followed locally. EAGER The ministry of housing is eager enough to give local governments approval of developments to give those governments grants to set up systems to allow those approvals to be given. Ministry officials indicated that grants are available from the province for such a move locally. In its report planning board said the grants have only been suggested and no firm commitments or amounts have been given by the ministry. The hoard said the transition could be budgeted for over two years suggesting that $10,000 in 1979 would be enough to gut the project off the ground with the remaining Lost,; to be budgeted for in 1980. 'I'hc board suggested that the system he shelved for 1979 but that an in- vestigation be continl;"(1 as to subsidies vv inch may be available should the (:our;,$ assume responsibility in 1980 Davidson said the fina ncial realization of such a move would not be known until the county could determine how much the development in- dustry "spends waiting". "What's one percent a month on a million dollars?" he asked. The savings would only be realized on projects that are free from objections.

The snowmobile's' , who wound through Colborne Township to Auburn, Blyth and back to Clinton, raised $12,000 in pledges for work with the children, Doug McCreery of Wood- slee made the major con- tribution, raising $1,086 in pledge money, He won a Bulova watch, donated by Anstett Jewellers in Clinton, for his money -raising efforts, The warden's challenge trophy, donated by Champion Road Machinery, for the municipal council with the largest amount of pledges, was captured by Hullett Township. The snowmobile ride was made possible by the co- operation of landowners who allowed drivers to cut across their property and by the efforts of local snowmobile clubs, The Auburn and Blyth Lions Clubs provided re- freshments for riders during the snowarama.

Viewers agreed that the excellent film which was designed for the general public gets right to the heart of the matter, It addresses numerous myths like: "the mentally retarded are a menace, they're dangeous"; "all mentally retarded people are dependent and can never take care of them- selves"; "the mentally re- tarded should be segregated in institutions" and "the mentally retarded are strictly limited in what they can learn", One by one the film shatters these myths and misconceptions and re- places them with factual information, Jim Mul- vale, regional consultant with the Ministry, presented the film, and guided the group's discussion of public education, attitude change, and increasing acceptance of the mentally retarded in the community "Exploding the Myth" will be shown on CBC Television on March 7, 1979, and hopefully the viewing audience will be a large one, In other business, the Association learned that the Silver Circle Nursery is again in need of volunteers to help with the children one morning a week.

The medical couple had been to St. Vincent Island in the Caribbean doing medical work there and are continuing their training in Ontario. Mrs. McGary said they were grateful for donations, and hospital supplies that they carried by air with them. They wished for this new experience and learned much in Spiritual sense and for themselves. Population is over 100,000 and growing as the birth rate is high, Much unemployment is experienced. Revenue is from bananas, coconuts and arrowroot flour. Canada has sent money for building a high school, air strip etc. They have a hospital and train nurses. Diseases are numerous, 40% of children suffer from high blood pres- sure. Research work is being done on this issue. Dr. McGary said the island is mountainous and is the second poorest island in which 95% of the people are black. Housing is mostly used for sleeping. Shacks are used for baking and they smoke most foods to pre- serve them. There is poor sanitation and hygiene which causes infectious diseases. There is just a handful of drugs to treat patients. Laundry is done in a stream then laid on rocks to dry. There are few tourists. The people were friendly towards them and while language is mostly English the dialect is a bit difficult to understand. Churches arc there but teaching is difficult. Only 5% reach high school and Eng- lish exams are marked in England. 70% of the people work for the Government and though the island is under the British government it soon Standard WANT ADS WORK Owners of smaller businesses... we provide: • Financial assistance • Management counselling (CASE) • Management training • Information.on government programs for business Can we help you?

Dr. Katharine Hockin, a retired deaconess who has studied in England, Europe and the author of several books and a member of National Division of World Outreach was the afternoon speaker. She stressed "Human Rights for Men, Women and Children." How we did mission work a number of years ago is changing. Work of U.C.W. and mission was generosity, biggest factor in partnership around the world with chur- ches, The systematic change is puzzling. Christians in faithfulness living good lives dependent on peoples around the world and see us related to it. There is concern about the new structure. Everyone has the right to seek and enjoy she said, and added, we are born free and should act towards one another under human rights. She said that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Worlds each speak in different way and are setting up different concerns and freedoms. Meanwhile, the rich part of the world gets richer and the poor gets poorer because of inflation. "As Christians we must think of the balance that goes with it and not denial of human rights. There is a level of the Spirit to live and to worship," she said, We must think of the Indians, of World develop- ment, of a politicial area in which amnesty is reliable and respected and which focuses on the individual, It is a new challenge to the Mission of the Church, she concluded, A worship period was led by East Perth Region and a duct by Mrs. Jean Eaton and Mrs. Marilyn Krcuger was accompanied by Mrs. Eckert.

Mr. Hunter said he wonders if Canada's economic problem is simply that we lack skilled people to till joh openings. 'I'hc college president said at one time, skilled people immigrated to Canada t'I'om11 other countries. Now people in Western Europe are living in emu). tries as prosperous or more prosperous than Canada and they are unwilling to (2111 - migrate. Mr. Bunter said the situ- ation of importing skilled ‘workers seemed to be one peculiar to Canada. Also, he said because skilled workers were often immigrants, the rest ()I' society tended "lo put skilled labor down;" He said i11 the past society Inas over -emphasized univer- sity degrees and education. The college president said eventually the college wants to look at the fields of electronics, materials train- ing and data processing to sec the Joh rcquircnlcnls of these industries and to con- sider creating programs to fill these requirements. Dean John Goddard said the new metals machining programs, which are a series of five programs, will he "competency -based". .

He said in the future, the collcgc may need 11101e tech- nology to bring education to people rather than trying to being the people to the college campuses. Dean Goddard said some of the technologies the school will be exploring include using the radio, television and telephone to reach the public.

When people are feeling too self-satisfied, too oblivious to the realities of the world then they need to have their baloon of c omplaceney punctured by a gritty, realistic story. But in a world filled with grim horrors, where you get enough depression in one, day of listening to the news every hour on the hour to last a lifetime, then we also need funny stories, happy stories, success stories, stories to show us there is still some hope for good people doing good things. The movie Rockcy has probably helped a lot of people during the grim, cynical seventies. Surrounded as we are by heartache, war, cycnicism and depression, we need to see a hero who can be human and against the odds come out on top. We need a heck of a lot more stories like that just to keep us going. County wants 75% Paul Steckle, Stanley township deputy - reeve, asked for the support of Huron County council Friday for his efforts to get more money for the county health unit from the provincial ministry of health. Steckle told council that he had joined representatives of six health units in Ontario, Huron included, to present a brief to minister of health Dennis Timbrell asking the province to fund 75 percent of the operation of the health units rather than the smaller percentage now paid by the pro- vince. Mr. Steckle said Huron County and 12 other health units in the province arc not receiving 75 percent provincial funding. He said six of the 12 receive 60 percent funding and six units in Toronto receive 25 percent. health funding Huron County re^.eives 50 percent. The deputy -reeve said the delegation that visited Timbrell to ask for more money tried to find out why some health units received le>sprovincial money than others, He said Timbrell was aware of the situation and was . sympathetic to the units not receiving 75 percent funding. He added that ttheminister could not tell the group why that situation existed but did say that the province was in the process of developing standards for health units in the province. Mr. Steckle said Timbrell indicated the standards were in the making but could not say when they would actually rnme about. He told council the total amount aksed for by the health units getting shorted by the ministry was not a hefty sum, He said Huron County's share of increase amounted to about $140,000. From the minister's study Do you love me? BY REV. CECIL WITTICH Dad was sitting in his recline chair, relaxing and watching television, Along came hie son, Larry, and climbs up on his knee and says, "1 love you, Daddy. You are the most wonderful Dad in the world and 1 just want to be with you." All this made Dad feel very good and he said, "I love you too, Larry. Why don't you just stay here and we'll watch TV together. After awhile Dad wanted his slippers, He said to Larry "Would you please get my slippers from the bedroom." "Oh Do 1 have to," said Larry. "Why can't sister get them?" Dad thought for a minute and he said, "I though you said that you loved me, Larry." "Oh 1 do," said Larry, "1 guess 1 forgot. I'll get your ' slippers" Dad answered, "Wait a minute. Let's talk about it." "There is a lesson in this for us, Larry. You know, we say that we love Jesus but do we always do what he tells us?" Jesus once said, "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." (John 14:15) Another time Jesus was talking with Peter and he asked him three times, "Do you love me?" And each time Peter said, "1 do," And each time Jesus responded, "Look after my followers." In other words, "Do what I command you." (John 21:15-19) Dare we do less? Huron people in movie Although it's difficult for local residents to be "dis- covered" by a Hollywood director while sipping a soda at their corner drugstore, next weekend some Huron County residents will have the chance to be in a movie. The movie, called "Title Shot" and starring Tony Curtis, will have one seg- ment filmed in the Memorial Arena in Kitchener next weekend. Curtis Michael McCone of Clinton, and Mark Adams and Jeff Hohner of Exeter arc three area young,pcople registered with Talent Search Productions, a Lon- don casting agency who is supplying actors to play roles ' varying from reporters to policemen to general extras in the movie Title Shot.

Mrs. Ron Henry is their new Leader, Plans were made to entertain the residents at Ramaloo Nursing Home, The Theme of Sunday Morning's Church Service was on Prayer. Mr, Wittich reminded all that most persons do not realize the inexhaustable resources and untapped potentials of Prayer, and event on to outline 5 things that get in the way of effective prayer. 1. Cherishing sin in our hearts. God will not listen when we won't confess, 2. disobeying his com- mandments, 3. Askin g selfishly. 4. Having doubts. 5. Failing to ask. To pray like Jesus did, is the only way to pray. Welcoming worshippers on February 4 were Ray Madill and Adeline Campbell. Ushers were Kim Van Vliet, Dan .Mclnnes and Harold Cook, Two lovely floral arrangements were in memory of Mrs, Grace McCallum.

The book certainly won't tell anyone who's guilty of an offence how to "beat the rap" but it does present a valuable introduction both to the Canadian legal system in general and the Highway Traffic Act in particular. The book's author, Tor- onto lawyer Glen Rivard, starts by dealing with broad- er topics such as plea bar- gaining, whether or not y ou should hire a lawyer to defend you and the results of pleading guilty to a charge. From there, the author moves to more specific topics such as technical defences which can be used when the case comes to court and other defences which can mean the difference between paying a hefty fine or being acquitted of the charges. Highway Traffic Law is one of 16 booklets published by the legal education organ- ization, with other books in the series like Buying and Selling a Home, Mental Health and the Law, Munici- pal Law, Landlord and Ten- ant Law and Youth and the Law, Community Legal Edu- cation Ontario (CLEO), which originated as the Toronto Community Law Program, was established to respond to the needs of the public for basic information about the law and the legal process. daddinye/ vdi1oetales Liquidation Auction Sale of Vodden's Grocery at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, February 17th at the premises in Blyth, Ontario Sale to consist of approximately $15,000.00 worth of food and equipment, including the complete contents of Vodden's Grocery.

Instead, the group operates on the premise that while legal advice is available to the public through lawyers and legal aid services, there is no source of legal education for the community, By offering courses and publishing books on basic law, the organization hopes the public can better protect their rights, know the legal remedies available and deal with lawyers from a more informed position. One of the more valuable chapters of the books dis- cusses how readers can use a technical defence which may result in charges against them being dismissed. A technical defence, quite simply, is an objection to the legal forms or procedure followed before your trial. There are six main tech- nical defences used by the legal profession - that the offence doesn't exist; the description of the location of the alleged offence is not complete; the location de- scribed doesn't exist; your name is misspelled on the information or ticket sum- mons; your address is wrong or the service of the sum- mons or laying the infor- mation was late. For example, compare the charge as laid out in the Highway Traffic Act' with the words describing the charge which appears on your ticket or summon.. DISCREPANCY If you discover there is a descrepancy between what you're charged with and the official charge under the HTA, then before you plead guilty or not gully, tell the judge you're charged with an offence that doesn't exist. When you raise the object- ion, the judge will consider the situation and either dis- miss the charge against you, or decide you're wrong and go on with the trial Another technical defence might be late service of the summons. For offences under the Highway Traffic Act, you must be served the summons within 21 days of the alleged offence, Under general defences discussed in the book, the author points out it is always a defence to a traffic charge to say you acted as you did to avoid a greater danger. For example, if you're charged with improper pass- ing, you could offer the defence that your actions were necessary to avoid an accident. A defence of neces- sity can sometimes result in a reduced sentence, even when it can't acquit you of the charges. The author discusses both the major and more common traffic offences which can be committed under the High- way Traffic Act and "indict- able" offences which fall under the Criminal Code, For example, the six drinking offences from driving while impaired to refusing to sub- mit to a roadside screening test fall under the Criminal Code. A number of other offm- at the scene of the accident can be treated either as summary offences, with fines up to $500 or six months in jail or they can be treated as indictable offences with lengthier imprisonment and suspension of your driver's licence, DEFENCES In each of the charges discussed, the author points out possible defences and also advises the reader about facts which can't be used as a defence. He also outlines the possible fines and the de- merit points which can result if you're convicted of the charge. • Glen Rivard's book on the rules and regulations of using our public highways isn't meant to be a subsitute for the services of a lawyer, but it is a clearly -written guide which can assist you in responding to a traffic charge - determining if you're guilty or not and guide you in taking your defence to court. Being familiar with the law is your best defence! OIL WELL SAFETY PLUGS One hundred and eighty- eight oil and gas wells +were drilled in Ontario last year, bringing the total to,,more than 60,000 wells drilled since 1858, But most people aren't aware that the Minist- ry of Natural resources and other agencies supervise the plugging of dozens of these holes every year—hazardous wells that have been used up, abandoned and are pot- ential safety hazards. Thirty- six such holes were plugged in 1977.
