AND MOVE IT THEY DID - The old Blyth train station was moved
Tuesday from its old location near the river to its new spot one mile south
of Blyth at the Old Mill. Owners Dick and Gienyce Snell hired ABRA
movers for the understaking. Both Ontario hydro, Wingham P.U.C. as
well as Ontario provincial police were present. At press time Tuesday,
If you see some new faces taking pictures
during the summer, smile, they're working
for the Blyth' Standard. With all the news
events during the summer the Blyth
Standard, in an effort not to miss any events,
has hired two summer students to take
photos in Blyth and area.
Jill Cooper has been doing a lot of the
picture taking in Blyth but she will be no new
face. Jill is a baseball fan and she regularly
is seen around the ba diamond. She plays
for Midget girls Tri -county team and hopes
they have an excellent season.
Jill is kept busy taking care of her wealth
of animal friends, Besides two Afghans, blue
and Belle, she is 'constantly listening to
Hobie's endless chatter, Hobie is a blue
budgie. Of course her cat Patches gets some
of her time.
Jill has been taking photos for a numb er
of years and last year gather own Pentax 35
mm. She is well onto the road to studying
journalism which she is thinking of taking
when she finishes high school.
Jill is a student at Clinton District
highschool and lives with her dad Joe
Cooper here in Blyth.
Heather Fothergill, Londesboro, has al-
, ready finished her second year of journalism
• and is. looking forward to her final year at
Conestoga College in Kitchener this fall.
Heather will be starting her year off right
with a bursary awarded her by Huron
County, to help offset some of her expenses.
Heather was drawn into journalism be-
cause of her interest in meeting people and
wanting to travel.
Although uncertain yet of where she
would like to start working Heather is
confident she will be working when she
graduates. "Teachers say job placement, is
good and they have, in the past, placed
students by the end of April." Heather said.
Heather would like to start on a
weekly newspaper and work her way up to a
daily, but her main ambition is to become a
free lance writer for magazines and write
short stories or novels,
Heather is the daughter of Mr. and IMrs.

Hallett plans
reassessment
Hullett taxpayers may soon be feeling the
effects of tax equalization if council approves
reassessment figures to be later presented to
them.
At a special meeting July 5 council met
with Ken Feagan and Don Tofflemire to
discuss the proposed reassessment of the
township.
Council passed a resolution to have the
Ministry of Revenue implement a reas-
sessment and present the findings to
council. The reassessment will not change
the total tax revenue but will adjust where
necessary lands that are under or over taxed,
In other business council agreed to
appoint an engineer to look into repairs for
the Veenstra Drain. Notification will be sent
to the Conservation Authority.
Council confirmed a meeting in Hibbert of
the area fire board on July 11.
Take out opens here
A new service has been added to Blyth's
list and with it comes just one more
attractive feature. The Sunoco gas station
has broadened its services and now offers a
fast food take out service,
Lyle and Yvonne Youngblut bought the
station a year ago from Norm Gowing and
started doing a few renovations. One thing
led to another and on Saturday Yvonne's
take out service opened to the public,
The first day was a busy one with extra
people attracted by the Orange day parade
and anxious to get something quick to eat,
Renovations are almost complete and only
trimming and a few minor jobs are left to be
done,
"Once August conies we will know better
what hours we will be open," said Yvonne,
"Until then, we will be open nights.
Probably until 11 if not 12,"
The garage was originally the site of the
Queen's hotel and was torn down before the
first World War,
By Blyth writer
McGillicuddy opens
Life in a small village is not as simple as
it seems - at least, not the way that
playwright Keith Roulston sees it. Mr.
Roulston's play, "McGillicuddy's Lost
Weekend" opens July 24 at 8:30 p.m. in
the Blyth Memorial Hall. It tells the story
of a small-town constable who finds life
very complicated indeed, Fans of Keith
Roulston's past successes;, "The Shortest
Distance Between Two Points" and "His
Own Boss" will be happy to know that his
latest offering is full of the sharp -edged wit
that made his previous plays so popular,
Mr. Roulston's play has been placed in
the capable hands of director Janet Amos.
Janet, who takes over as artistic director of
the Festival in September, directed the
"Blyth Memorial History Show" for the
1977 season, She is best known for her
appearances as an actress in Toronto, at'
the Shaw Festival and on CBC television.
She will be helped by a roster of actors
tharincludes both Festival veterans and
some new -comers, Layne Coleman, who
received special notice for his role in "This
Foreign Land" will play Ezekial McGill-
icuddy, the harried police constable. Anne
Anglin, Angie Gei, Mary ann Coles and
Peter Elliott play the village residents who
make his life so complicated.
McGillicuddy first made his appearance
in the pages of the Village Squire
Magazine in a regular feature entitled
"McGillicuddy's Diary." This summer his
adventures will appear in book form as well
as being chronicled on the Blyth stage.
Information about the book will be avail-
able from the Village Squire Publishing or
from the Festival box office. Tickets for the
play "McGillicuddy's Lost Weekend" are
available by phoning 523-9300 or from
most ticket outlets.

HPRCSS teachers settle for 2.5 % raise
BY WILMA OKE
A 1979.80 contract settlement was
ratified by the Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School Board at a meeting
in Dublin Tuesday night, and by its 155
teachers on Friday last.
In a joint press release by Vincent Young,
chief negotiator for the board and Donald
Farwell, chief negotiator for the teachers
employed by the board, they said the
agreement reached carries a moderate
increase of 2.5 per cent as a catch-up to
salaries paid in 1978.79 by other area school
boards, plus a general increase in the salary
grid and responsibility allowance of 8 per
cent. This improves the average annual
salary, including increment and
responsibility allowances from $18,792 to
$21,175 for the contract year 1979.80. This
represents an increased cost to the board of
$280,000 for the school year.
The new salary grid ranges from $11,340
for Level One teachers with no experience to
$28,945 for teachers having attained Level'
Seven and 12 years experience. A new
benefit has been introduced in the
agreement for the first time providing a long
term disability income plan which reduces
the number of accumulated sick days
currently from 230 to 220 days in 1979.80.
New clauses in the agreement include access
to personal files, right of recall and
distribution of a seniority list. r
Negotiations, which began in late
January, concluded with a tenative
agreement on June 27, 1979.
In other business discussed at the meeting
of which almost two and a half hours was
behind closed doors, the board approved
hiring Debra Kimberley as a teacher at
Sacred Heart school, Wingham; Cathy Foran
at a part-time (50 per cent) teacher
(principal's relief) at Sacred Heart; and
Linda VanStraaten as a part-time teacher (50
percent), principal's relief, at Immaculate
Conception school, Stratford. She was
formerly with Oxford County Separate
School Board.
William Eckert, Director of Education,
was given authority to hire a maximum of
two and a half teachers for French
instruction which is taught in Grades 6 to 8.

From Me to You
Smokers' blues
BY RHEA HAMILTON
When I am under pressure
f feel like smoking. 1 can just
imagine how a smoker must
feel when the job is getting
tense and they can sit back
and light up. It makes you
slow down just long enough
to get that second wind and
relax for a moment before
resuming the hectic pace.
Being a non-smoker I have
very little that gives me that
sensation unless it is a cold
beer. But that takes almost
half an hour to consume and
afterwards I am in no shape
to go back to work.
The recent outbreak of
"ban the smoke" in cities
and local municipalities is a
relief to non smokers, You
really don't have to stand in
line and hold your breath
while someone consistently
blows a blue cloud over your
head.
I have never held anything
against smokers. When I was
little I remember riding in
the car and smelling that
delicious odour of the first
cigarette that my father
would light up. The first was
the best but after that pleas-
ure was replaced by car
sickness over long trips,
The World Health Organ-
ization has just advised
countries to put a total ban
on all forms of tobacco
promotion. It feels that the
massive advertising and
promotional campaigns are
direct causes of substantial
numbers of unnecessary
deaths.
They recommended that
exports of tobacco be dis•
couraged, ana that non-
smoking should be regarded
as normal social behaviour.
For those of us who do not
smoke this would be terrific
but I can not help thinking
about the other side of the
coin.
For hundreds of years
smoking has been a social
thing to do and for many
generations young people
have been encouraged to
take up the cancer stick for
the sake of popularity and
before they know it they are
hooked, Then there are the
people who have always
enjoyed a cigarette. The hot
smoke circulating through
them is pleasurable and for
all this fuss about stopping
smoking makes them uneasy
if not down right angry.
I tried smoking when I was
about 12. Two other friends
and 1 would meet in the old
foundation of a barn near our
homes and share a pack of
cigarettes we had bought at
the local motel. We couldn't
be caught with any at home
so we had to smoke the whole
pack. But for youngster
learning, the thought of in-
haling was unheard of.
Therefore we just couldn't
understand the attraction,
Besides learning to blow
smoke rings we also learned
the fastest way to clean your
breath and that riding your
bikes fast around the next
concession generally aired
your clothes enough to avoid
detection.
1 was never caught to my
knowledge but my younger
, brother was not as lucky. You

SONG OF THE EARTH
By Alexander Cordell
Song of the Earth is the
final volume in Cordell's

the Evans family works on

due to adverses, Mostyn
Evans and his sons are
forced back into the mines
and the struggle continues.

If you've ever been to
summer camp, or even
thought of going, you'll want
to read this funny and true
story about Melanie's experi-
ences there, Although she is
13 years old, her family
decides that she should, for
the first time, go to camp.
Melanie has to discover
whether the pleasures out-
weigh the traumas.

see he could not afford the
real thing when he was
young and so he and a friend
tried smoking hand rolled
corn silk. The truth came out
when he came home one day
with his eyelashes and eye-
brows singed off.
I think everyone goes
through the trial and error
assessment of smoking and it
will be a long time before this
habit wears away.
Granted the health risks
are evident, and with better
education we can hope that
the generations coming into
the ranks of adulthood will
avoid taking the health risk
for the minor pleasure that
smoking gives.

It can happen to you
The old adage "it will never happen to me" is constantly being
mouthed especially around the farm.
Farm accidents are on the rise and every year go up more and more.
The Farm Safety Associaton of Ontario has been for a number of years
trying to educate people about hazards on the farm and encourage
farmers to take their time and do things right the first time and avoid
accidents that may be a costly waste of time and life.
And it is not just machinery that endangers farmers. Farm
chemicals, and electricity are just hazardous as are noise, vibration
and general stress.
It has been suggested that many farmers are becoming lax about
setting boudaries for children and it is all too true when you hear of•
children being crushed beneath machinery or having their arms and
legs torn off.
Even with all the displays at fairs and conventions and in some areas
students travelling around to assess sgfety and health standards, some
farmers have little regard for safety.
Maybe the whole idea of farm safety,slould be directed not from an
outsider looking In but from the insiders looking out.
For the conscientious farmer a review of dangerous equipment and a
careful set of rules for children to follow will save some young lives.
Perhaps some sort of discussion among family members or workers
about what to avoid or check before each day, in passing, would
heighten awareness of farm safety.
Time is of the„gtmost importance when rain threatens a crop and
harvest equipment acts up. But a word about turning off machinery
say, before checking it might also save someone from accident.
It is hard to maintain a constant awareness about farm safety but we
can't afford the rise in farm accidents.
To the editor:
Birthday was great
Last week 1 attended the celebration of
Auburn's 125th birthday - an event which
gave me much pleasure, not only renewing
acquaintances but also enjoying the fine
program, The parade participants paid little
heed to the tropical showers, In fact it should
be noted that a parading fireman with a
generous hose made sure there were no dry
'c s' including the law.
Congratulations to those who planned,
organized and worked for the last eighteen
months to make this celebration possible!
We should not forget the suburban partic•
ipants from sister town Auburn, U.S.A.,
Blyth, Godcrich, Wingham, Fort Frances,
Windsor, Toronto, Stratford, London,
Guelph, etc. etc.
I have just one request when I attend
Auburn's 150th birthday party. Namely, that
a certain greeting I received be outlawed! It
goes like this - "Hello Eugene! I'll bet you
can't remember my name."
Bless those Auburnites!
Yours truly,

Behind the Scenes
by Keith Roulston
Unity and diversity
Two opposing principals hay a been
propounded widely in Canada in the last
decade or so, both with their advantages
but both with their dangers as well,
Canadians have been simultaneously
advocating unity and diversity at the same
time. We've been promoting national unity
and regionalism. On a more personal level
we've been trying to get people to think
more of their neighbour and at the same
time pushing for more and more individual
rights. Ideally, maybe we can have the best
of both. Unfortunately, we may instead
have the worst of each.
For the last dozen or so year the push of
the federal government in Canada has
been to build a unity between Canadians. It
often seemed like a hopeless task. There
were, however, just enough successes to
make people hope it could indeed be done;
that Canadians could develop a sense of
togetherness.
Perhaps the most successfuly of these
government promoted unity promotions
came in 1967, Canada's centennial year.
When Prime Minister Lester Pearson set
out that year to get Canadians involved in a
celebration of our 100th anniversary, many
felt it couldn't be done, that such a thing
couldn't be promoted by the government.
Mr. Pearson's government put several
years of planning into the event which
many said would be a flop, but the idea
seemed to catch Canadians at just the right
time and people took part in the Centennial
celebrations in far greater numbers than
anyone predicted,
Those celebrations and the feeling of
patriotism they promoted have done a
great deal to change the entire direction of
the country.
It's hard for us now; to remember
accurately just what the country was like
before 1967. It was however considerably •
different. The spirit of '67, the spirt of
caring about one's country and promoting
being a Canadian has led to an outburst in
such areas as the arts. The idea of having
our own local theatres producing plays by
Canadians and for Canadians would have
been impossible to comprehend before
1967. The idea of Canadian books outsel-
ling imports was ridiculous in the pre -67
days.
Yet at the same time we were promoting
unity we were also promoting diversity in
Canada, We were praising the fact that
Canada was not the "melting pot" concept
of the United States but was a place where
the various races and nationalities from
around the world could co-operate together
while still retaining some of their old
cultures. In recent years this has developed•
into a concept of regionalism in Canada,
where the differences between the Mar-
itimes and Ontario, between the West and
central Canada would be understood and
even fostered.
The new government under Joe Clark
won election promising to promote regional
interests even more than they have been.
Mr. Clark particularly attacked the former
Prime Minister, Mr. Trudeau, for his habit
of fighting against provincial premiers who
argued that more power should go to the
provinces. Mr. Clark apparently agrees,
feeling that the provincial governments can...
more easily meet specific regional needs
better than the federal government.
Celebrating our diversity must certainly
make Canada different than any other
country on earth. It's a daring concept in a
world where people are apt to distrust
anything strange or different. If we can
pull it off, it's a marvellous victory, a
victory for understanding over distrust, of
love over hate.
Yet in Canada, a country already
burdened with handicaps such as different
languages, different cultural backgrounds
and long differences that keep people from
meeting and getting to know each other, it
seems something like a death wish to
promote the very things that separate us.
Unity through diversity, an amazing
concept. Yet it is a concept that is so
important that it makes it even more
important that Canadians keep their coun-
try together. If we can make it work, if we
can find the delicate balance between our
feelings of unity and our feelings of
regionalism or cultural differences, we
have an important lesson of understanding
to show the rest of the world. It's a
challenge for us all: a chance to put into
action the teachings of our own religion
that we must love our neighbour and
tolerate the differences of others.
We often downgrade the role of our
political leaders in Canada but in giving us
this challenge of building unity through
diversity they have given us a chance to be
really a great nation not just in the sense
that we have power, wealth and influence
but in the sense of really contributing
something to the world: the example of a
place where different people from dif-
ferent backgrounds, even different lan-
guages can still work together to make a
united nation,
In doing so each of us carries the burden
of promoting our own cultural background,
language or region but in a way that is
positive, not negative. While we promote
our own uniqueness we must remember
our responsibility to be part of a larger
whole and must fit ourselves in to that
whole like a piece of jigsaw.
It's quite a challenge. Can you do your
part?
Back in 1955
Huge crowd at Orange parade
On Saturday, July 14, a
parade passed through
Blyth. It was the annual
Orange Day Parade and with
Blyth hosting the event, it's
interesting to recall some of
the other times the parade
was held here. One of those
times was Tuesday, July 12,
1955 and according to that
issue of the Blyth Standard,
the Orange Lodge received
its charter in 1856,
However in the issue of the
Blyth Standard dated July
13, 1955 which is the year the
Blyth lodge celebrated its
100th anniversary, it is
stated that evidence of activ-
ity earlier than 1856 was
produced through a certif-
icate to Bro., the Rev. W.H.
Cooper dated in the year
1800. The 1955 issue of the
Standard also states that an
old tax bill dated 1881 shows
the amount of taxes on the
lodge property as $2.70,
broken down as follows.
County rate • 24c; Village
rate, 94c; Special rate (salt
bonus), 32c; school rate (ord-
inary), 74c; school rate (spec-
ial, 26c. James Davis was the
collector of all the taxes.
On the 12th day of July
celebrations in 1955 many
big events were planned for
the day. And an estimated
crowd of 10,000 people
attended them. There were
parades, ball games, dances
and just about every kind of
entertainment you could
name. Fifty lodges paraded
through the streets of Blyth
that Tuesday, July 12 and
they represented Middlesex,
Lambton, Perth, North and
South Huron and Bruce West
It might be interesting to
note here, who took part in
the parade through the vil-
lage. A paragraph in a story
on that celebration states:
"Heading the parade, on the
traditional white chargers
were two representatives of
King William of Orange,
Thos. McInnis of Gorric,
County Master and Harvey
Jacklin of Brussels, County
Londesboro girl
at athletic camp
Mrs. Laura Forbes is a
patient in Clinton Public
hospital having had surgery
on July 5th.
Mr, and Mrs. John Riley
returned home on July 11th
from 2 weeks holiday with
their daughter Mr. and Mrs,
Bruce Kelly and Kathy at
Thunder Bay,
Mr, and Mrs. Dennis Pen -
found and Ruthann went to
Orillia on weekend. Ruthann
was chosen by Board of
Education to represent
Huron County and spend 2
weeks at Athletic leadership
camp at Longford mills near
Orillia. Ruthann is a student
at C.H.S.S. in Clinton.
Mr. and Mrs, Gordon
Shobbrook and Diana spent
weekend with Mr. and Mrs.
Ken Shobbrook, Janine and
David at Ajax. Saturday
visitors with Mr. and Mrs,
Bob Burns were Mr. and
Mrs, Irvine Keep of Glammis
Mr. Keys attended the
orange walk in Blyth. Mrs.
Mary Vallenimert, Regina,
returned home with them
from spending 2 weeks here.
Karen Johnston was
admitted to Victoria's sick
children's hospital, London
on Sunday for tests.
Mr. and Mrs. Reg. Lawson
John and Elizabeth attended
the christening of Brent, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Doug Kyle
in Hensall United Church on
Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Claire
McDougall, Mr. and Mrs.
Jim Johnston, Mr. and Mrs.
Pat Mason and John spent
week end camping at Port
Albert.
Mr. and Mrs. Reg Lawson,
John and Elizabeth attended
the Crich reunion at home of
Mr. and Mrs. Murray Crich
at Cargill on Sunday.
Mr, and Mrs. Wm. Hamil-
ton Moorefield visited on the
weekend with their daughter
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Thomp-
son.
Visiting on Wednesday
with Mr. and Mrs. Russell
Good were her brother Mr.
and Mrs, Fred Youngblut of
Woodstock, On Sunday Mr,
and Mrs. Russell Good, Mrs.
Stella Adams and Gloria visit-
ed with Mrs. Sandra Popp
and Cathy, London.
Marshall. Besides the trad-
itional fifer, and 'drummer,
there were several bands
spaced through the parade
including the Brussels Pipe
Band, the Banochburn Pipe
Band, and a newly -formed
organization, the Belgrave
Pipe Band, also the Wood-
ham Fif e and Drum Band,
Murphy Lodge Clinton iFife
and Drum band, the Young
Conquerors' Fife' and Drum
Band from London and sev-
eral others."
When prizes were given
out for the parade the prize
awarded for the Lodge com-
ing the greatest distance
went to Jura No. 819, Lamb -
ton County.
The principal guest speak-
er at the 1955 celebration
was the Rt. Wor, Bros.
A.S.Brooks, Past Grand
Master of the Grand Black
Chapter of the Ontario West,
who issued an urgent appeal
to unite forces with the
Orange Order to keep the
Society strong. The Standard
says "Mr, Brooks described
the Orange Order as Christ-
ian, patriotic and political.
the one organization with the
machinery capable of carry.
ing through political prob-
lems, He issued an urgent
appeal for an additional
5,000 members to join the
Society under a five-year
plan that has been set up by
the Grand Lodge."
Entertainment included a
play at the Memorial Hall
and after that, a hypnotic
demonstration by the hypno-
tist, "The Amazing Dam -
ant."
Although all this entertain-
ment was going on, it seems
like Blyth was a pretty quiet
place in 1955 as witnessed by
one paragraph in the paper
on the celebrations. It states
that, "The attendance dur-
ing the day has been egti-
mated as high as 10,000
people. Certainly it was the
biggest crowd. the staid old
village has entertained in
many a moon, ,and parking
space throughout the whole
town was at a premium.
Crowds of people were
everywhere, and on every
hand satisfaction with the
efforts put forth by Blyth
Lodge to make the event a
memorable occasion was
hoards by the visitors, and
we believe that generally
speaking, the citizens are
happy to have the Orange-
men in our midst."
A sidebar story about a
Blyth native, a Mr. George
Campbell of Calgary, Alberta
states that the 12th of July
celebration recalled an. early
incident to Mr. Campbell's
mind, The Blyth Standard
account reads "It was about
72 years ago when King
William on his white charger
was heading the parade
down Blyth's main street. In
those days he holstered a
revolver which he inter-
mittently fired into the air:
the bullets were blank of
course, but on this particular
occasion, a live one got into
the chamber. Mr. Campbell
remembers the incident viv-
idly because when the live
bullet was fired from the
gun, it struck his mother,
inflicting only a flesh wound,
fortunately, the bullet's force
being well spent by the time
it contacted Mrs. Camp-
bell."

The Rural Development
Outreach Project (RDOP),
funded by the W.K. Kellogg
Foundation and operated by
the University of Guelph,
held an informal reception in
Wingham recently to
discover what the people of
Huron County really think of
the program.
The project has operated
in Huron County,
particularly the Wingham
and Turnbcrry Township
area, for the past two and a
half years.
Vivienne Newnham of
Seaforth, attending on behalf
of the Van Egmond
foundation, thanked the
RDOP for their assistance in
providing funds for student
Marlene Turnbull to
catalogue historical materials
at the home last summer.
Mrs. Newnham said
having Ms, Turnbull working
at the house was "A terrific
beginning for us." She
added the RDOP's help got
the foundation started in an
organized way, since "we
didn't have the expertise to
do it ourselves."
Gerry Ginn, former
warden of Huron County,
said the country has gained
considerably from the
RDOP's involvement in the
area. He said when someone
left Goderich Township
$192,000 to build a township
hall, the RDOP helped
organize public participation
sessions to discuss plans and
location of the hall. He said
township -organized
meetings attracted only
about 30 people, but the
meeting organized through
the RDOP outreach program
attracted over 100
participants.

He told RDOP staff, "We
in Huron still have a little bit
we could learn." He said the
staff shouldn't get
discouraged since "in staid
old Huron, it takes time to
change."
Inge Wraith of Wingham,
who worked on the RDOP
transporation study with
senior citizens, said she
thinks the project has been
valuable in demolishing the
ivory tower image of the
university and would like to
see it continue its
involvement in the
community.
She said the study proved
there was a lack of
transporation in the north of
the county and that "many of
the solutions rested on the
shoulders of volunteers,"
She said the RDOP
provided leadership and
awareness in studying the
problem. As a result of the
study, a local bus driver is
offering once a month trips to
either Kitchener -Waterloo or
London and volunteers are
transporting senior citizens
to events in the area,
Mrs. Wraith said her only
criticism was she felt the
RDOP's direction was
disappointing and said she
di dn't realize the project
was taking a non -directive
approach in their work in the
county.
Professor Tony Fuller of
the University of Guelph
praised Louise Marritt, the
local co-ordinator of the
project who lives and works
in the Wingham arca, for her
involvement with the
community.

Sugar & Spice
by Bill Smiley
A couple of big anniversaries are coming
up for weekly newspapers, or community
newspapers, as they're called these days.
In July, the Canadian Community News-
papers Association is celebrating its
diamond jubilee at a convention in Toronto,
In Wiarton, Ontario, the Echo is celebrat-
ing its 100th birthday this July, I'd like to
take in both, as a member of the former for
eleven years and editor of the latter for the
same period.
Some of the happiest years of my life, as
far as work goes, were spent in the week ly
newspaper business. And as work goes, it
went a long way - about sixty hours a week,
It requires a certain type of personality
and outlook to be a happy weekly editor. Or
it did when I was one. It's a lot different
now, with young, hard-nosed editors, fresh
out of journalism school, imitating tech-
niques of the dailies,
First of all, you had to have a complete
lack of material desires, You could make a
living, but you never got rich, or even well
to do.
Next, you had to keep your back shop
happy, the printing staff. And anyone who
has ever tried to keep a printing staff
happy knows that it's about as easy as
attending a picnic of rattlesnakes without
being bitten.
Then, of course, you had to tread the
thin line between being fearless, inde-
pendent and outspoken, and selling
enough advertising to keep body and soul
together, The guy who attacked town
council for some nefarious bylaw, and the
guy who went out and tried to sell ads to
the six merchants on the town council were
the same guy, very often,
There were the inevitable typographical
errors to harry the obfuscated editor, In a
wedding write-up, the bride often came out
3s the "bridge," In funeral accounts, the
pallbearers were apt to be described as
"six old fiends" who carried the coffin to
its final rest.
In a small town, there are currents of
jealousy and antagonism and family feuds
that run deep and strong.
Praise a local politician for making a
good move, and his third cousin from the
other side of the family would call you up
and tell you, with vivid ,detail, what a
snake•in-the-grass your first man was.
Venture to criticize, however gently, an
athlete or public figure, and you'd have
your ears scorched by eighty-four close
relatives who normally despised the guy,
but rallied to their roots when an aspersion
was cast on the clan.
Hell hath no fury like a Women's
Institute whose boring account of its
Brussels Stockyard Report
The market at Brussels
Stockyards on Friday traded
at lower prices on all classes
of fat cattle. There were a lot
of heavy and overfinished
cattle on offer. Good quality
pigs traded steady. There
were 901 cattle and 1857 pigs
on offer.

Classified Ads pay dividends,
meeting, including everything from who
said Grace to what they ate, was cut by the
blue pencil.
And then, of course, there were the
drunks who would call you up at 3 a.m. to
'ask you to settle an argument about who
scored the final goal in the 1934 Stanley
Cup playoff. And the kooks who would call
you up and try to plant a libellous rumour,
, or demand that you come out to the farm
and take a picture Qf their home-made
threshing machine,
There was always some country corre-
spondent furious because her "news",
consisting of who visited whom on Sunday
afternoon, was crowded out by a rush bf
late advertising, "Why don't you leave put
some ads?"
There was no lack of variety in the
weekly business, when you were reporter,
editor, advertising manager, proof reader,
and general bumboy for the tyrants in the
back shop.
I distinctly remember a St. Patrick's Day
night, when there was an unexpected
heavy fall of snow, An elderly /gentleman of
Irish descent had been celebrating the day
in the pub. When he hadn't Arrive home by
ten o'clock his housekeeper/called for help.
The local pubs were alerted, and the
hockey rink, where there was a game in
progress. Most of the male population, at
least half of them half -lit, stormed off to
search for the missing nhan. We found him,
covered in snow, abut is quarter -mile from
his house. Back to th rink and the pubs.
I remember shouti g at deaf 'old ladies
who were celebra ing their ninetieth
birthdays, and gettVng some of the most
surprising answers!
"How long has your husband been
dead?"
"NO, he never was much good in bed,"
"T¢ what do you attribute your long
life?'
"Ylas, I was always a good wife." And so
on,
TO be a successful editor, though not
necessarily a good one, you had to
continually straddle fences. This becomes
a bft of a chafe after a while
You had to be able to write on demand. 1
remember one week when there was
absolutely nothing to fill a two column, four
inch space on the front page, In about
twenty minutes, I knocked out eight
column inches of sparkling prose in which
the reader had to read to the end to
discover that nothing worth reporting had
happened that week.
It sounds as though I'm knocking the
game. No so. These are fond memories.
And there were rewards, most of them
intangible. It was kind of nice to be
introduced to strangers as "our" editor. It
gave satisfaction when a subscriber from
away down in the States dropped in on his
way to the summer cottage and said, "Sure
liked that piece about the deer hunt."
And there was a certain quiet pride in
one's status. My daughter, aged eight,.'
prpduced the fitting requiem when I left
newspaper work and went into teaching.
"But Daddy," she observed, "that
means you're not the Editor any more I
sadly agreed.

Huron County
Number of illiterates up
BY JEFF SEDDON
The Huron County public
library now has books for
everyone including about
1,000 county residents who
can't read.
On Thursday Huron
county council approved the
purchase of 10 books
specially prepared to help
illiterates learn to read.
Council increased the library
budget by $120 to permit the
books to be bought
immediately.
County librarian Bill
Partridge told council the
number of illiterates in
Huron county had risen
sharply in recent years. He
Star at
Huron
theatre
James Murphy, Artistic
Director announced today
that Hollywood star, Don
Porter has been signed for
the leading role of Elwood P.
Dowd in the comedy
"Harvey."
Mr, Porter, the great TV
face (Gidget's father, Anne
Sheridan's boss in "Private
Secretary" and starring
appearances in virtually all
the major shows) is also
home on the Broadway
stage. He starred in "Plaza
Suite" with Maureen Staple-
ton. Other Broadway shows
include "Any Wednesday",
"Calculated Risk", "Gener-
ation", "The Best Man",
"Impossible Year", "Separ-
ate Tables" and the all star
revival of "The Front Page."
His films include "The Cand-
idate" with Robert Redford,
"40 Karats" with Liv Ullman
"Murder or Mercy" with
Melvin Douglas and "Mame
with Lucille Ball
Mr. Porter's appearance at
the Playhouse is made poss-
ible with special assistance
from Discount Dave's Home
Centre, a division of Conklin
Lumber Company Limited.
The show opens July 25th
and plays through August
4th, except July 29th.
told council the illiterates
had learned to cope in society
despite their handicap and
lead an interesting life, He
said the people will "rip
open bags in grocery stores
and put their fingers in to
determine if the bag contains
sugar or ` salt."
Partridge said in an inter-
view that the percentage of
Alliterates in Huron was high
compared to other
municipalities in the pro-
vince, He said that per-
centage could be due to the
rural base in Huron pointing
out that many people didn't
need a formal education to
work farms and left school
early.
The librarian said
according to provincial
standards people with less
than a Grade 3 education are
termed illiterate. He said
government statistics re-
leased in 1976 showed that
775 of the county's 41,175
residents had less than
Grade 5 education.
The county population now
stands at 56,000 and
according to Partridge 1,000
people could be illiterate.
Government statistics
show that 17 percent of the
people in Ontario are
functionally illiterate. People
with less than Grade 9
education are termed
functionally illiterate.
Partridge said that 29 per-
cent of Huron's residents are
functionally illiterate
according to those terms.
He said a program was in
operation to teach people to
read and that about half a
dozen people had enrolled.
But he added that the
program could become
county wide and include
more people.
He said people that can't
read have learned to get
along and unless one knew
that a person could not read
one would not be able to tell.
He said one could not tellby
talking to illiterates that they
can't read.
But he added that the
people are very "eager to
learn" and realize that by not
being able to read they are
"missing a lot in life".
