Under the new system only Goderich, Exeter and the township of Stephen will Drain problems send two representatives to county council. The restructuring was done to attempt to streamline council. Under the old system the 45 member council, considered by some to already be too large to be practical, was about to become larger. West Wawanosh township is eligible for a deputy -reeve in the 1981 election under the old system and Bayfield is also very close to deputy -reeve status. Under the new system several townships and two towns are very close to the 2,500 electors needed for a deputy -reeve. The townships of Tuckersmith, Goderich, Council flooded It was hard to believe that spring flooding was close to being ended when Blyth council was besieged with drainage problems at its meeting Monday night. The first plugged drain dealt with was at Dan McInnes on Dinsley St. At present Mr, McInnes relies on a sump pump to take away any water but he would like to have the gravity drain unplugged instead of relying on hydro, The present gravity drain is plugged with tree roots. Mr. McInnes suggested rerouting his drain to another location. Council agreed to look into the matter further, Lloyd Walden has water for the first time in his basement, Counci wondered if the filling in of a lot behind Mr. Walden's home may have caused the problem this spring with water. The matter is to be investigated further, . Larry Bolger visited with council to discuss the new ho me he is going to build this year in Blyth. There seems to be some indication that the weeping bed from a neighbour's lot is directly under where he proposes to put his foundations, Mr, Bolger was concerned about locating his drainage to catch a village drain yet to be put in. Councillors reviewed Mr, Bolger's drainage map of his lot and agreed with his location. The problem with the weeping bed is to be worked out with Mr Bolger, his neighbour and the health unit if necessary. Covered in the review of the previous year's budget council noted that they ran a deficit in drains to cover all the extra work that was done last summer. "Everyone is after us for drains said Reeve Don Noble. Blyth budgetted $4,000 and actually spent $10,858 on storm sewers in 1978. Howick and Hay will probably be electing deputy -reeves in 1981 as well as the town of Clinton. Some members of council balked at the idea of trimming deputy -reeves. Wingham deputy -reeve Harold Wild felt that the councillors should take the matter back to their respective councils for di.s, fission and direction. Wild said he felt he couldn't make a decision adding that thewnitld like to "talk about at home." Turnberry deputy -reeve Harold Elliott said he felt the position of deputy -reeve was "a good opportunity for younger people to get into this (county council business) for the time they step up to reeve." Elliott also felt reeves left at the council table would be unable to handle all the county business and committee work. County clerk Bill Hanly said about' the mly thing that would be altered by the reduced size is the number of councillors sitting on council Me said the voting powers of the individual municipalities would change very little. Hanly said he didn't like to talk about rural versus urban situations but pointed out that every once in a while it "rears its ugly head", The clerk pointed out that where a rural municipality has three votes of a total of 57 it will now have one vote of a total of 30, He pointed out that rural votes still outnumber urban under the new system. Voting power for individual municipalities is established by population. A municipality is given one vote per 1,000 population to a maximum)f four votes. Hanly told councillors the rural vote was still stronger under the new system. He said rural votes are now 65 percent of the total and urban 35. After restructuring rural votes would amount to 57 percent of the total and urban 43 percent. The clerk said restructuring is not doing reeves away with deputy -reeves just reducing the size of county council, Levyup Blyth is one of the few ' Huron munici- palities who's contribution to the county goes up this year. At the council meeting Monday evening the levy for the Huron County was passed. Blyth is assessed for $36,324 which contrasts with last year's figure of.a$32,877. Clerk Larry Walsh explained to councillors the increase was due to a higher equalization grant that Blyth received last year. Last year both recreation and water accounts were credited to revenue which raised Blyth's resource equalization figures by $8,000, Althought Blyth received $8,400 in grants last year the county bases its levy on last year's figures and although the grants may not be as high this year, Blyth must pay the higher levy. A large portion of the assessment is for roads but Blyth will receive a 45% rebate here. The county only maintains perimeter (Continued on Page 20) 1 ) {Inside the Standard: Variety Concert a smash • P. 5 Get involved [Auburn] , P 6 Blyth man wins award P. 15 Scott's wed 50 years P. 15 2 - THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 4, 1979 Share and care is UCW theme Susan Howson was in charge of devotions for the Evening Units' March U.C.W. meeting on March 28.

Blyth. I immediately remem- bered the many times that my father told us of the flock of wild swans that would regularly stop, west of Aub- urn in a field that was always flooded over in the early spring, It had been many years since he hid seen any Whistling swans on a rainy Monday A real soaking! Rain interupts phone service BY SHELLEY McPHEE If you live in the Londesboro area, chances are that communication, by telephone, may come to a standstill when it rains, People in the 523 exchange in Londesboro and Blyth are becoming a little aggravated with this continuous weather and telephone conflict, It seems, talking to area users of the Bell Canada system that when it rains water seeps into the tele- phone lines. This disrupts and has at times completely cut off service. The problem stems from eight miles of heavy, over- head cable from south of Londesboro to Blyth that is so badly deteriorated, that it leaks like a sieve. The cable, which is scheduled to be replaced by Bell in the near future, was heavily damaged by an ice and wind storm in January. One line, carrying five or six subscribers was com pletely without telephone service for 11 days recently. One subscriber noted that he called the Bell Canada repair office 10 times before any action was finally taken. The telephones have again gone out since the repairs were made. The problem seems to be widespread throught the lines and most telephones are being affected to some degree. Some find that the lines continually crackle, especially when the wind comes up. Others find their telephones going out of order intermittently while some find their service out for days Just over the weekend one line was out for three days. Bell Canada repairmen are continually working on the lines, area people say, but the repairs don't seem per- manent. They agree that this problem ahs been an ongoing thing for some time. Some feel that when Bell Canada took over the service from Maitland Tele Services a few years ago the problems began. Others believe that the, equipment is just too old while others claim that the equipment used in the lines is just poorquality. All agree that something should be done and the obvious answer to them is to replace the lines. People on the 523 exchange have just about had enough of the poor service. If some- thing isn't done to relieve the problem, they feel that public outcry will have to be the only solution, Marlene's Beauty Shop is now introducing the new 10 -minute Exothermal Perm contains Natural Moisturizing Factors to leave your hair soft, elastic 'and pliable. Regular $30.00 on special for April at wild swans and so I did not hesitate to look for the flock this week, The first flock was located right behind Mrs, George Marshall's farm on the 12-13 line of Hullett, south of Blyth. The meadow land was too muddy to get any closer than the farm house with the car but the pasture in front of the plowed fields the birds had were located, was fairly dry and 1 was able to walk to within a hundred yards of the flock. These wild swans were whistling swans and from the distance I could hear their cooing and murmuring to each other. I tried to identify closely what they sounded like to describe them to you and the only thing I have ever heard to compare them to is the mourning dove. The swans were higher pitched and more constant in their cooing. They certainly were not friendly. A s soon as I got past the barn a group of noisy seagulls took to the air announcing my movement. The first and closest twenty birds rose to the air with a flurry of noise. 1 am afraid that the constant raining made me just a bit impatient after standing and carefully stopping and starting across the field, The last thing 1 wanted them to do was to all take flight. As the second batch headed up into the air 1 realized that that might be the last shot I could get of them. They were slowly dis- appearing into the misty skies. I focused and lo and behold I was out of film, As I trudged back to the car 1 realized that may have been my best shot and I blew it. But on the brighter side, 1 could have missed the whole episode by choosing to re- main dry in the office rather than venturing out into the rain. The whistling swans that have been sighted in the arca this past week are smaller relatives of the endangered trumpet swan and the mute swan. It is the mute swan that we see gracefully, swim- ming in the river at Stratford below the Festival theatre. These huge birds make a Canada Goose look small by comparison and average more than four feet long. Even their nests are incredible. The whistling swans nest in the Arctic and along Hudson Bay. The nests are made of plant material and are 2 feet high and six feet across. Is is littl. wonder that some of them rest during their flight north, They reach speeds of 40 to 50 miles per hour. (64 to 80 Kph) Often the birds will rest for several days in a muddy field, eating away at corn left over from ,the previous year's crop. The group that I startled into moving did not travel far. They disappeared over the top of the bush and landed on the other side assuming that I would not follow. Sightings have been noted in Tuckersmith township near Vanastra, in McKillop and north of Auburn. If you have the chance to get close enough to hear the birds it will amaze you how huge they are even in the distance. It is an incredible sight to see. I hope the birds continue to favour our arca for years to come so that more and more of us can enjoy their beauty and song. ***** Don't forget the paper drive Saturday for the Londesboro Lions.

A Great Choice Janet Amos, the actress who gave such a moving performance as the young widow in the CBC series A Gift To Last, is a rare phenomenon in theatrical circles—a star who has earned her reputation entirely on our national stages. Unlike many of our performers who have drifted south to try for fame and fortune on the New York'stages or in Hollywood television studios, Janet Amos has consistently remained in Canada and worked at making theatre accessible to Canadians. The Blyth Festival has scored a coup in appointing Janet Amos to work as the associate director on this summer's productions and then to take over as artistic director in September when the festival's founder James Roy says good-bye to the theatre which he cajoled into existence. Janet Amos and the festival should prove instantly compatible. She, like James and Anne Roy, is a firm believer in the policy of presenting Canadian plays of specific interest to small towns and rural audiences. The actress -director knows these audiences well. Ms. Amos starred in Oil and The Farmers' Rebellion with Theatre Passe Murallie in the rural community of Petrolia and was with the same company when they created The Farm Show near Clinton in 1972. Also, some of the favorite characters portrayed by Ms. Amos during her career have been people who populate communities not unlike Blyth. When the Roys announced that this summer would be their final season with the Blyth Festival, many theatregoers feared the unique character of the festival would be lost. Right now, Blyth stands very much as an exception to the rule on the Canadian theatre scene. Most smaller theatres exist in major metropolitan areas or else they specialize in largely "tried and true" productions like the Shaw Festival or our neighbouring Shakespearean Festival. The Blyth Festival has chosen the more dangerous path of presenting Canadian plays, often performed for the first time, in a rural community. While other small summer theatres have rapidly fallen victim to dwindling audiences or the lack of community support, the Blyth Festival has managed to appeal not only to the local population but also to an ever -widening audience willing to drive many miles to see a performance. The Roys challenged all the accepted rules for success in bringing their dream for a summer theatre to Blyth. They've created a strong foundation and Janet Amos has already proved her committment to good Canadian theatre and shown that she shares this dream. The Blyth board of directors have shown a very special wisdom in their choice of an artistic director who will build on the belief that Canadians in smaller communities should be able to share in their country's cultural heritage.

Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Questions, but no answers Some questions, this week, without answers. In this, perhaps the most important election in Canada since confederation, is the outcome to be decided by who drops the fewest footballs or stumbles over curbs least? In the 1974 election a good deal of damage was done to Robert Stanfield by a newspaper picture that showed him very clumsily catching and dropping a football. Down in the U.S., it was Gerald Ford bumping his head on his helicopter. In the first week of the election campaign, it was Joe Clark stumbling as he crossed a street. I don't know about you, but I'd hate to have my ability to do a job judged by the number of times I'd slipped on an icy street or caught my fingers in a drawer when I was closing it. I hate to think that it could have any part in the decision who is to lead the country in these times when the entire future of the nation rests on us making a good choice but with some of the smart-alec people we have in the media these days, it just could. ****** If, as people like Harold Ballard and some of the other National Hockey League owners have been saying for years, there's nobody any good playing over there in the World Hockey Association, how come the NHL teams were so adamant that they had to get back any players they felt they owned playing in the WHA? I guess we should just be thankful for the fact the long hockey war is over and we can get back to playing on the ice instead of the courts, but' a few of the details of the expansion, merger or whatever you want to call it, seem ridiculous. I can understand to some extent the NHL assessment that they want the opportunity to get back players who quit their teams to join the other league but what I find really hard to take is that just because they drafted a player and the player instead chose to play in the other league, they feel they should now have the player handed to them. The other point is that most of the players playing hi the WHA ar. there because the NHL teams refused to pay them the salary they felt they deserved. If they didn't deserve that much money then, then how are the NHL clubs willing to pick up their expensive contracts now? Anyway, all this may be a tempest in a teapot. With the way things are set up, the WHA teams may be able to retain most of their players anyway and by picking up players from the Birmingham and Cincin- nati franchises, may end up being stronger than many of the NHL franchises. ****** And while we're on the subject of sports, why haven't we heard an outcry about Canada's loss of supremacy in the sport of curling like we did a few months ago about hockey when the Russians whomped us? When our team at the world curling championships (playing for a trophy given by Air Canada no less), lost to Norway in the semi-finals last week it meant Canada hadn't won a world championship since 1972. In addition our ladies champions and juniors also got beaten out in the world championships this year. Maybe the government should investigate. ****** How come everybody who gives a news cast these days and every newspaper in the country tut -tuts about the continuing fuss over Maggie Trudeau's revelations, but only after they give the latest details? If everybody is really as tired as they say th' y are of hearing all the idiotic things issue from the lady's mouth (or the mouth of her publicist), why do they keep dishing it out to us? It's like the man who says he can't stand the gossiping that his wife and her friends do, but he passes on all they juicy details to his buddies down at the factory. As for Maggie's family, well Pierre's a big boy and can look after himself as he's well proven over the years but what about the kids? I mean lots of kids have grown up with the stigma of a wayward parent but few have had a parent with such a high profile. How is it going to affect those kids through their formative years ahead to always have their mother thrown up to them by other kids and adults? Then too, what effect is Maggie's book going to have on the election campaign? On the one hand, some people are likely to favour Trudeau through sympathy and through admiration of the way he's acted through all this while others may figure that if he married that dingbat in the first place there must be some mental instab- ility there somewhere in his past, just like Thomas Eagleton down in the U.S. a few years back, Ah Maggie, why don't you just wander off to some quiet little commune some- where and boogie the rest of your life away leaving us in peace?

Bisback opened the meeting with a welcome to the 16 mothers and mothers - to -be, who had come from as far as Clinton, Seaforth, and Wingham.. Janis noted that the La Leche League had its begin- nings 23 years ago during a picnic when seven friends decided to meet on a regular basis in order to help other friends who wanted to nurse their babies. They felt that the secrets of successful nursing,exppriences were in- formation and encourage- 'nient. La Leche (plentiful milk) League. is now an international organization. Janis mentioned that the League in Huron County obtains money to buy books and pamphlets for its excellent loan library through memberships and the sale of posters, books, calendars, and baby carriers, The two most popular books are "The Womanly Art of Breast- feeding" and "Mother's in the Kitchen", Sewing meets 41, Beat the High Cost of SMALL ENGINE REPAIR until May 12 we will tune up your.

The topic of discussion was "Art of Breastfeeding and Overcoming Difficulties". The women indicated pro- blems they had encountered and how they had been overcome. Engorgement and milk supply were two main concerns. Janis recommend- ed that nursing from birth, and choosing rooming -in so nursing could be done often, would eliminate engorge- ment and increase milk supply naturally, She noted that drugs and supplements can inhibit the production of milk. It is best to become familiar with the routines of your hospital and make per- sonal arrangements with your hospital and make per- sonal arrangements with your doctor. Thank you notes relating positive nursing experiences, perhaps ac- companied by a gift of the Manual, would be helpful in promoting a comfortable hospital stay, When you are home with your baby, the best source of encouragement comes from a supportive husband. Let him or another relative look after the household for a while. You should be sure that the home situation will allow you to concentrate on baby, following your own mothering instincts, Janis closed the meeting with an invitation to see the Film "Bottle Babies", concerning feeding of babies in third world countries, which will be shown in Hensall United Church on the afternoon of April 1st.

About 100 guests attended the banquet and meeting in the Christian Reformed Church. Among the guests was John Jansens, an egg producer from the Watford arca, who is president of the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario. The guest speaker at the meeting was Rev, John Hellinga, pastor of the Guelph Christian Reformed Church, who spoke on the topic "Justice for agri- culture." Bill Jongejan, a hog and cash crop farmer from R.R. 2, Goderich, and the pre- sident of the local CFF, said the group has been meeting on and off in the Clinton area since 1975. The former Clinton branch now has 40 members, from as far away as the Exeter area, and Mr. Manure gas can kill Now is the time of the year when farmers are getting ready to pump out those liquid manure tanks that have filled up over the winter. Many farmers are planning new building pro- jects for the coming season. In both these cases, it is wise to have some understanding of the hazards of manure gas and of the ways these hazards can be minimized. Decomposing animal manure gives off a variety of gases including hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and methane. The most danger- ous of these is hydrogen sulfide (most commonly called "manure gas"1 and this gas has been responsible for many animal deaths as well as occasional human deaths. Hydrogen sulfide is produced continuously in all un -aerated manure storages but the gas is released at a slow rate in undisturbed storage. This gas is heavier than air, so it can accumulate on the surface of the manure. If the level of manure under a slatted floor barn rises close to the slats, the gas may be forced above floor level, endangering the animals. Hydrogen sulfide gas is usually associated with a rotten egg odour. However, in higher concentrations, the gas paralyzes the olefactory nerves in the nose. Relying on smell of the gas for a warning, therefore, can be dangerous. High concent- rations result in a complete arrest of respiration. Lesser amounts can result in nausea belching said coughing, or eye irritation. A SERIOUS BUSINESS Michelle Beuerman of R. R. #4, Walton thinks colouring is a pretty serious business. While Michelle tried her artistic skills, her mother Bonnie enrolled the future student in kindergarten at Walton Public School last week.

This agitation releases the gas in a manner similar to the way gas is given off by shaking a bottle of pop. Several precautions should be taken for the safe hand- ling of liquid manure: 1. Never enter a pit without a self-contained breathing apparatus and a lifeline, 2. Don't let the . pit fill completely -1 or 2 feet of air space allows for some ac- cumulation of gas. 3. Provide strong ventilation during pumping and agit- ation. Keep people, and if Jongejan interprets the first annual meeting as a sign that the local branch is becoming more organized. "Hopefully the effect we :an have on this country, hrough our organization, is hat farmers will see it's mportant we recognize our iristian responsibilities," possible, animals, out of the building at this time. 4. Pumping and agitation operations should involve two people. Things to consider when building new facilities: 1. Locate manure pit pump out openings outside the building. 2. Connecting drains from barns to outside storage tanks should be equipped with gas traps to prevent gases from backing up into the building. 3. Slatted floor swine barns should have under -slate ventilation to remove gases as they are released from the manure, NDP meet April 17 The N.D. P. are holding a nomination meeting to elect a candiatc for Huron Bruce Riding in the May 22 Federal election, the meeting to be held 'Tuesday, April 17 at 8:00 p.m, at the Clinton Town Hall will be chaired by Paul Carroll of Scaforth. The guest speaker MacMakar- chuk, M.P.P. for Brantford is the small independent business critic in the Ontario Legislature, as well as a member of the Public Accounts committee. He was born in Saskatchewan and was educated there and in Mr. Jongejan said. The provincial CCF organization makred its 25th anniversary in Ontario on Tuesday with a day long program held at the Univer- sity of Guelph. The theme for the event was "Hope for the family farm in the 1980's." Among the speakers were Jim McHale, former secretary of agriculture in Pennsylvania and Professor S.H. Lane of the School of Manitoba before moving east. He was first elected to the Provincial House in 1967. After his defeat in 1971, he ran successfully for alderman in the city of Brantford and held that position from 1972- 75, when he was re-elected to represent that Ontario riding in Toronto, a seat he has con- tinued to hold since then. He was formerly a reporter for the Brantford Expositor. Mrs, Moira Couper of .Bayfield is the only candidate so far to express her willing- ness to stand for nomination, Agricultural Economic and Extension Education, OAC. In the past, the CCF has been vocal in airing its concerns about a number of issues from quotas, to the need to protect prime agri- cutlural land. Elbert van Donkersgoed, the editor of the CCF magazine, recently acted as spokesman for a number of farm groups at the Porter commission hearings on electric power planning.

The government has intro- duced a bill proposing a major overhaul of grievance arbitration, which would eliminate delays and reduce costs, This issue of costly delays in arbitration pro- cedures has been a centre of controversy for a long time. Each year, tens of thou- sands of grievances are tiled in Ontario on behalf of union members, among which are some 1,000 arbitration cases. Unions have complained about long delays inthe dis- position of arbitration cases, the cost of taking a case to arbitration; and the problems of workers who have been discharged and have to wait up to a year or more for an arbitrator's decision. The Minister of Labour, introducing the bill, maintained that its adoption would give this Province one of the finest grievance arbitration systems in North America, It would cut delays by setting time limits, giving the Minister power to ap- point single arbitrators and establish fees for them. The Ontario Federation of Labour has complained that the grievance arbitration system has been a failure; and that the inequities of high cost, riPhv and harsh penalties havcbrought the system into disrepute among the people it is supposed to serve. Almost tive million dollars is being taken away from the Province's largest chitdren's treatment centres and training schools to finance programs aimed at keeping youngsters out of such last resort institutions. The government will save about 3.4 million dollars by , reducing the number of re - 1 sidential beds and other ser- vices at children's mental health centres which have annual operating budgets of about one million dollars or more, Fifteen of the pro- vince's 76 centres will be affected. More than one million dollars is expected to come from cutbacks and possible closings of some provincial training schools to be announced next month, At a closed meeting with representatives of children's service agencies and associations, the Minister of Community and Social Ser- vices said the five million dollars, plus a further 10.4 million dollars from his Ministry has been earmarked for a major shift toward preventive programs in 1979- 80. Before the meeting he said in an interview that the reallocation of spending is part of a chance in priorities by his ch ,'fren's services division "to move away from a reactive role (reacting and providing treatment after the SPECIALS Used TRACTORS 1 - M.F. 255D Allied loader 1 - M.F. 135D M/P.

According to a Ministry official, the new emphasis will be on "front end services", which con- centrate on early inter- vention and prevention of behaviourial problems. New measures to be financed include programs in the folioµ ink' areas; child abuse $3,225,000; foster care $2.2 million; francophonc services $500,000; pre- vention $1 million; hard -to •serve children $500,000; mentally handicapped children $2.7 million. Health Minister Dennis Timbre!' announced this week that an agreement be- tween the Ontario Govern- ment and the Ontario Medical Association has been reached in which doctors have promised that 'every service at public 'hospitals will be available at no more than Ontario Health Insurance Plan rates, Doctors will still have the right to join or opt out of the plan but a doctor will have to tell patients in advance of services when they will be charged more than the OHIP rate. If prior notice is not given, the patient will not have to pay the extra charge. The OMA will publicize a telephone number which anyone in the province can call toll free for the name of a doctor in the plan in any given community. There was also an emergency debate in the Legislature this week over the announced government program of hospital bed cut- backs. I participated in that debate and indicated the concerns of workers who may lose their jobs, medical staff members who are concerned that their ability to treat patients and deliver first class health care is going to be limited and interfered with, as well as senior citizens who are afraid that when they get sick there will not be a hospital bed a',ailable for them. In general terms the com- munities in rural parts of the province are concerned that small rural hospitals even- tually will be reduced to an uneconomical level and will be replaced by larger central operations. 1 have set up a meeting between representatives of the Wingham and Godcrich Hospital Boards with the Minister of Health, Mr Timbrcll, for Friday, April 6th, at which time I hope the program can be altered and adjusted to meet local needs.

BUTIf you are one of the foolish kind—like the Notre Dame Cathedral that has stood for six centuries but continues to ring the bell every day to let people know it is still there- and b elieve in continuous profitable advertising, then your advertising belongs in - the standard orris has deficit BY DEBBIE RANNEY Morris Township wound up with an accumulated deficit of $27,055 at the end of 1978 but has $20,000 in reserve capital to cover part of that deficit, council learned at its regular meeting on Friday. The main overexpenditures in 1978 were on roads and government. A budget of $94,000 had been set for roads but there was an actual expenditure of $109,761. A budget of $16,000 had been set for general government with an actual expenditure of $24,496. Among other things the extra road expense came from putting extra gravel and chloride on the roads for the plowing match, As well more cement had to be put on a section of the second concession of Morris than was originally estimated, Bruce Atchison of accountants Thorne, Riddell and Co., in London explained to council that general government included payments to members of council, salaries and payments for people to sit on hospital boards. Council learned that their salaried had gone from $8,500 in 1977 to $10,900 in 1978 and that salaries for roadmen in 1978 had been $40,000, Livestock claims went up considerably from $400 in 1977 to $1600 in 1978. The township's total revenue was $$161,622 while total expenditures were $163,747. Taxes receivable were up quite a bit from 1977's total of $27,753 to $46,764 in 1978, Carman Craig and Bruce Richmond, Morris Township's representatives on the Blyth and District Community Centre Board asked for a donation to the Blyth and District '., Community Centre. Earlier the council had been told the arena wouldn't be needing anymore donations for awhile so council asked the two why money was being requested, Representative Craig told council mem- bers that new liquor control board regulation have made it illegal for the arena to keep a share of the bar profits. Although no firm apolicy has been made it had been suggested that maybe the arena could be rented at a charge of $2 per person or there could be a charge for bar service, ticket sales, hall preparation, clean up, or door supervision. Morrisfiouncil was asked for $750 so the centre could replenish operating funds to the point where the arena could carry through. Council heard the arena had received $1625 from Blyth, $1625 from Hullett, $1000 from East Wawanosh and $400 from the West Wawanosh council, There was a special question period for ratepayers at Friday's meeting and some wanted to know why figure skaters didn't pay the same amount as those renting the ice for hockey and broomball. It was pointed out that figure skaters did not rent the ice in prime time but if they did they would have to pay the same amount as anybody else. ,t4leteV' Councillor Ross Procter agreed that on a stop gap basis Morris should be prepared to pay their fair share to local arenas but wanted to know how to be fair without information on how many people from the township used the arena. He told Mr. Craig council had requested that recreation people keep a record of those people from Morris Township registered for various sports. The representatives decided to see that the council gets a copy of that information. Council decided later in the meeting to give the arena the $750 donation as requested. Some of the ratepayers at the meeting complained to council of the wild dogs running loose in Morris and council decided the reeve will check with the Ministry of Natural Resources on what could be done with the problem and to bring it up again at the next council meeting. Also at the meeting were Keith Mulvey and Dave R'ed of Frank Cowan Insurance to review council's insurance policies. They suggested council consider Errors and Omissions Insurance. For example if a man gets permission from council to put up a building and someone discovers a zoning by-law has been contravened, then the insurance will pay for this. Council had a representative at an earlier meeting from McMaster Insurance in Wingham but decide they would stay with Cowan this year and not to get the Errors and Omissions Insurance for now. In other business, council received a letter from the County of Huron regarding the Walton library. They were concerned with the condition of the books and the lack of heat which they said was uncomfortable for the staff and patrons. The County wanted to know what steps council was taking to resolve these problems. Deputy -reeve Tom Miller who is on the library board told council he didn't think there was any use trying to carry on with the space heaters there now and suggested propane could be used instead. The clerk was instructed to notify the Huron County office that the situation would be attended to right away and they would be notified of any decisions that were made. Council decided to give a donation of $25 to the Canadian Cancer Society. Council was advised that the cost of the Belgrave Street lights had gone up from a total cost of $1600 to. $2900, A Standard Classified will pay you dividends, Have you tried one?

Nursery director Mrs. Sylvia Ricker asked that anyone who might be inter- ested in this worthwhile work contact her for further infor- mation. The Association also learned that only 25 tickets of the total 300 for a Trip -a - Month Lottery are still to be sold, The first draw for one of the 12 big prizes will take place on April 27. The pub- lic's response to the Lottery has been encouraging to Association members, for whom fund-raising is a never ending struggle, Plans are being made for the building of a new adult workshop, the Association's next major project. The required proposal for a new workshop has been sent to the Ministry of Community and Social Services for approval. Guest speaker at the meet- ing was Dr. Seim, Director of the Midwestern Regional Centre at Palmerston, who discussed the problems of parenting a retarded child, Dr. Seim dealt with reactions parents feel when they dis- cover they have a retarded child • reactions such as psychological stress and depression, defensiveness towards the child, feelings of vulnerability and inequality, as well as the rejection of the retarded by society. He said parents must first accept the problem, and recognize the fact that hope- lessness in our society is wrong, We have come a long way in our understanding of retardation, and the earlier the parents begin working with their children, the greater the progress will be, Eighty-three per cent of retarded children can lead Dresses Pantsuits Jumpsuits Separates The Corner Cottage for Children's Wear Mon. -Sat, 9-6 Closed Wednesday Blyth 523-9613 productive lives and be assets to our society, Dr. I Seim said.

Come and enjoy Sugar & Spice by Bill Smiley Like most people in this country with any intelligence, 1 welcome the advent of spring, which in Canada consists mainly of mud, slush, cold rain and colder winds. It is the end of that suicidal season in which we get more and more depressed, irritable, and bone-weary of living in a land where the national sound symbols are the wet sniffle and the barking cough, the national sight symbols are the filled-in driveway and the rusting fender. It's a' trying time. For years, I've advocated a mid-February holiday to save the national psych from self-destruction. I've suggested calling it National Love Day, the third Monday in Feb.: a day to love your neighbour, your neighbour's wife, yourself, and life, not necessarily in that order. But I've been blocked, year after year, by politicians, who fear the opponents might score a victory if it were named Sir John A. MacDonald Day or Sir Wilfred Laurier Day; and by the industrialists and business community, who blanch with terror at the th ought of paying their employees for one more non productive day in the year. Hell, a third of their employees' days are non-productive any- way. They may as well throw in a bonus. Yes, I welcome spring, but there's one aspect of it that 1 very nearly loathe. That's when the first yellow sun begins to filter through those murky storm windows, which we daren't take off until mid-May. It isn't the sun that bothers me. It's the Old Battleaxe. She throws away her survival kit, the cataracts are peeled from her eyes, and she starts driving me out of my skull. "Bill Smiley, look at those drapes!" 1 look. They look fine to me. Same old ones we had in January. Green and gold with cigarette smoke and hot air from the ancient furnace, but perfectly serviceable drapes. "Look at that rug. Filthy! Look at the chesterfield. The Boys have ruined it: jam, bananas, yoghurt! Look at that woodwork. It was off-white in the fall, and now it's off -black! The wall paper is disgusting!" Well, l look up from my paper with every demand, and everything looks just the same to me as it did a month ago. Comfortable. Warm. Lived-in. 1 venture such an opinion. It is met with a torrent of abuse, elf -pity, and materialistic avariciousness. "You don't care, do you? You'd live in a pig -pen, wouldn't you? Other men help their wives keep the place decent, don't they? Have you no eyes in your head? Aren't you ashamed of this "wreck" room that used to be our living -room?" Faced with a barrage of rhetorical questions, I shift uneasily and answer, "Yes" or, sometimes, "No". I never know what to say, but it's always the wrong thing. Frankly, I don't care. And yes, I would live in a pig -pen, if nothing else were available. And no, other men don't help their wives keep the place decent. Not decent men. And yes, 1 have eyes in my head, two of them, one apt to be black after this column appears. I merely blink benignly, start talking supportively. Yes, we should have new drapes. How much? Yes, we should have a new chesterfield suite. How much? Yes, it's time we got rid of that old dining -room suite, which we bought second-hand for $100. 20 years ago. How much for a new one? Certainly, the rugs need cleaning and the whole house redecorating, How much? It always comes out to somewhere around $8,000. I remind that we have to borrow from the bank to pay the income tax. That we have two cars which we could sell in a package deal, to an experienced mechanic, for $400. That if we don't have some brickwork done, the whole house will fall down, and we'll be sitting there, in full view, on our new chesterfield. I suggest that she save money from teaching her piano pupils, pay back the $1,000 she has spent on long-distance phone calls to her relatives, and take a job as a cleaning lady for a year, and all will be doozy. New everything. She counters with arrows about the booze bill, the cigarettes account, and all the money I gamble away on lotteries. I remind her gently that if she hadn't spent a cool throusand on gold chains last summer in Switzerland, we'd be in clover. And so it goes. After a week or two of this, we have arrived at an impasse. The sun keeps shining, something important, like the children, crops up, and we sail happily into a new year, with the wreck room in tact: warm, comfortable, lived-in. Doesn't cost a nickel. And you know something? Nobody cares. Obituaries MARY JANE HESSELWOOD Mrs. John Hesselwood, the former Mary Jane Glazier died in Huronview, Clinton on Thursday, March 29, 1979, in her 85th year.

Huron B of E rejects budget road show The Huron County board of education refused to take its budget on the road Monday when no trustee endorsed a suggestion to hold area ratepayer's meetings to explain the education budget. Goderich trustee Dave Gower could not even get a seconder for a motion he made to have the board hold public meetings in the four corners of the county to explain education costs to taxpayers. Gower wanted the board to sponsor four meetings, one in the north one in the south and one each in the east and west portions of the county. He said such meetings would provide the board with a good opportunity to explain its budget and may help to develop a better rapport with ratepayers. "There are a lot of people that don't understand how the budget is formulated, said Gower. The Goderich trustee added that the board has "some obligation" to the people to explain the complex budget. Gower's suggestion came on the heels of a letter from Goderich town council suggesting that the board be encouraged to "formulate a system of public meetings to explain its financial requirements to tax- payers". Board chairman John Elliott said the board had "taken the initiative in the past years to invite council members to budget meetings The chairman noted that it would be good public relations to set up budget meetings in each municipality but said there's a tithe factor the board has to consider. He added that budget meetings the board has promoted in the past have been poorly attended. Elliott commented that all board meetings are open to the public. He said the board has sent out letters to councils inviting them to attend a budget session with the board but added that the letters are simple reminders not restrictions. "I get the feeling that these letters specify limited attendance," said Gower. The board sends letters to mayors, reeves, deputy -reeves, members of council, finance chairmen and clerks inviting them to a special meeting called to pass the board's budget. Seaforth trustee John Henderson felt the explanation of the board's budget was the responsibility of individual trustees if they felt special meetings were necessary. The Seaforth trustee said trustees could arrange meetings on their own if they felt they were needed or necessary. Shirley Hazlitt, trustee for Goderich and Colborne township , said all budget meetings are open to ratepayers, members of council and to.the press in the county.

The Ministry gave an indication as to who to invite to the opening. The apartments, known as Queen's Villa, are now completely full and there is a waiting list of two, Len Rooney reported to council concerning the condition of the local refuse site. Mr. Rooney has had trouble in the past with the quanity of garbage being brought in by the Bud Blyth's council briefs Chamney operation. Mr, Chamney hauls garbage from both Londesboro and Auburn and with the new larger containers does not need to dump as often. Mr. Rooney reported that the larger amounts are harder to dispose of and made for quicker filling in of the site, There has been a new lock on the gate and Mr, Rooney was advised by council to seek some sort of agreement with Mr. Chamney about regular dumping hours. Mr. Rooney also suggested council consider starting a new hole. The future of the dump depends upon careful management. There is still room for approximately four more holes council learned. A hole lasts over a year and a half, The clerk was instructed to write to the parties involved asking them to follow regulations set up by the site caretaker, Mr. Rooney. The deadlines for the final submission of Blyth Secondary plan has been extended to July 15, 1979 council learned. If the final draft is not received by the Ministry of Housing by that date the grant money allowed for the study will be cancelled, At present the planning department of Huron County is busy finishing the last of the plan, Council agreed to share with the township of Morris the costs of a load of liquid calcium to apply to Blyth streets and township roads to keep the dust down. Morris shared the costs last year and wrote to council this year requesting the same arrangement. Council passed a resolution to pay the levy to the Huron Perth Roman Catholic Separate School board of $668, Last year the levy was $564. A resolution from Essex county was filed, The resolution asked concerned councillors to petition the Attorney General to legislate a 48 hour cooling off period for people, especially seniors who have been pressured into selling their Bantams standings (Continued from Page 1) GOALTENDERS G.P.
