Separate school board Increase budget BY WILMA OKE The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board increased the budget for its property committee for 1979 to help meet the costs of maintenance work needed in keeping up its 19 schools. The budget was increased to $47,000 from $35,000. John O'Leary of Staffa, chairman of the building and property committee, asked for the $12,000 increase at a board meeting in Dublin Monday. Mickey Vere of Stratford, a member of the committee, said, "This board must put more money into maintaining the schools. We have to have more money in the budget." Mr. Vere warned that if the maintenance work is not carried out when needed the schools will deteriorate badly. Mr, O'Leary stated: "The finance commit- tee will have to sit down at an early date in the new year and assess the needs of each school. In the past the building committee has only got what is left." Ted Geoffrey, Zurich, chairman of finance (Continued on Page 16) FiRE—Although Blyth firemen were tending a fire it was a minor loss. The old farm house owned by M1hurray Adams burned last fall and firemen were helping clean up the rubble and finish the job. The house is located just outside of Londesboro and fire officials worked for several hours to finish the job. Blyth station exits 'lite old station house that made its grand exit from CAR WASH—There seems to be more water on Cavlinettes had a car wash Saturday to raise the washers than the cars. The Blyth funds for their group. Blyth last week is now located on the lot next to The Old Mill 1 mile south of Blyth. The move did not harm the building at all, new owners Dick and Glenyce Snell say. Although they had not made any plans to buy the 67 year old station, when it became available the Snells decided to buy it. Both arc full of enthusiasm and al- though they have not made any definite future plans they have already decided to restore the building to its previous grandeur. The station is completely intact with the original light fix- tures and counters still in place. "The only thing missing is the equipment that was taken out when the station was closed ten years ago," said Mrs. Snell. The station has complete apartment facilities because station employees once lived 1 there and waiting rooms that only need people in them to function. The building will be read- ied for winter said Mr. Snell and the inside will wait until they have time for a proper job of restoring. No date has been set to have the job completed. The moving job took the better part of a day and Wingham PUC and as well as Ontario Hydro and Can- ada crews were on hand to assist the local Blyth PUC workers removing lines. The building itself is 105 feet long and weighs 70 ton. The Snells arc looking for old photos or drawings of the old station to aid them in restor- ing. "If you see a train and a bit of track for sale, give me a call" laughed Dick Snell.

We complain of higher food prices and then read of how one farmer this spring had to plow under 10 of his 14 acres of strawberries due to lack of pickers. Unemployed Canadians may be in for a big surprise in the next two to three years. Due to the frightful situa- tion in Vietnam, the Canad- G�VE•.. will live HEART FUND ian government has opened its doors to 50,000 refugees, The plight of the refugees has come into world prom- inence and many countries are trying to do their best to alleviate the situation. With the coming of all these people there will be a demand for jobs and a major- ity of the refugees will find jobs. They are willing to work in order to survive. They left Vietnam in leaky boats in an effort to survive. Maybe half of them made it to refugee camps. The others died en route. It is the ability to accept and try anything that will keep these people going. in the aftermath of their flight, finding a job and establish- ing themselves in a foreign country will seem minor. Canadians have had it soft and part of the generations coming up really don't know how to start small and work ,ftp. The new Canadians com- ing into our ranks will show them how it is done. Enough of the compassion stories. We all have feelings and for many of us the sight of the boat people has moved us to support organizations that are doing something across the oceans. But when the Vietnamese refugees land on our door- step will we still show com- passion? Maybe 50,000 refugees are what Canada needs to get motivated to solve economic and employment problems. The influx of extra people willing to work could be the boost we need to shape up. To All Bell Customers in Blyth and Area Bell Canada regrets any inconvenience you may experience because of our current labour problems.

Bell 4 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 25, 1979 Officialplans - is there a reason) For years now we have all been hearing of the many advantages of having official plans for our villages and countryside. Educated men and women who have studied problems and solutions have come to our aid and laid out these plans. It is only after extensive research into the everyday aspects of the community and a hard look at both past growth patterns and future trends, that the study is complete. Once all the initial work is done the plan is held up for public scrutiny and changes made where necessary. After all this work, and attention to detail, it would appear that in some areas these plans are shifted aside when they are needed the most as guides. Goderich council last week ignored a county planner's request to not approve a permit for a proposed mini -plaza on Bayfield Road, Planner Roman Dzus pointed out in a letter to council that such an outlet would increase the competition for limited trade dollars which could result in vacant stores and inevitably run down property. It was also his concern that the space zoned for highway commercial land be left for larger stores, like building yards or car sales - establishments that require heavy traffic. But none of this seemed to make a dent on the council as Reeve Eileen Palmer bluntly told council that it was none of the planners' business. Her reasoning was that the plaza would bring increased assessment. It is unfortunate that future plans could not have been considered. If the commercial area is eaten up by small establishments, in the immediate future there may not be any viable property available for larger business when they are interested. This lack of foresight on the part of council may have serious impact on Goderich in the years to come. We approve of plans for our communities, to help make for a more organized and better use of lands. If even, after all this work and advice, our politicians fail to utilize the information properly there is little we can do to prepare for the future. Or a rhyme? While considering regional planning for communities we should take a closer look at the plans for our agricultural lands. Huron County is noted for its fine produce. The county as a whole has already suggested that it would like to stay agriculturally oriented. Huron has its problems, among them erosion of that same farmland into the already muddy waters of Lake Huron. Although the Maitland Conservation Authority and many private individuals have played a major role in trying to keep the land together some interesting facts have come to light. Recently the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) approved a decision to allow a development of 19 cottage units along Huron at Bogies Beach. The development, planned by Goderich developer Pat Whelan, calls for 20 acres to be used for housing. The Bogies Beach Association has fought the proposed plan on the grounds it would not only take valuable farmland but also cause further erosion of the gully. The Huron Federation of Agriculture supported the association's concern over the loss of farmland. After hearings, the OMB ruled that the small parcel of land, isolated from the balance of the agricultural community by both the beach road and the ravine, wouldn't have any impact If lost. There are already massive beach settlements along Lake Huron causing problems for farmers, This is just one more for the farmers to contend with. The OMB decision showed some narrow thinking. If all the small plots of land now being farmed were to be developed, the loss to Huron County would be great. With development springing up all over the province and agricultural land being jeopardized every day it is hard to see why this parcel could not have been protected. It's hoped that the future does not bring more examples like this to light b u ttobeIi believe thatwo would bels like burying g your head in the sand. This is just one development and you can bet It won't be the last. The: fire chief says Never squirt barbeque fluid on a slow• burning fire. You could cause an explosion and severe burns to yourself and possibly others nearby. This is a public service announcement sponsored by The Blyth Standard and written by the Blyth fire Chief Irvine Bowes. Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston The good people of Canada They say there are two ways of looking at a half glass of water. The optimist will say it's half full. The pessimist will say it's half empty. Much the same analogy can apply these days to the Vietnamese boat people situation. You can take your choice whether you choose to see the good things about mankind that have been brought out by the crisis, or the bad. The good and bad start right here at home. A Toronto newspaper last week visited a small town northwest of the city and talked to people along main street about their feelings about the boat people situation and Canada's part in it all. The reaction to the call of some Canadians to put forward a tremendous rescue effort was almost totally negative. Some people said they weren't really refugees at all. Others said it was up to others, not us to do something. Nearly everyone was against the government's policy to bring as many of the boat people here as possible. They nearly all made the same claim: we should look after our own people first and now with unemployment so high was no time to be bleeding hearts. The exceptions, the people in favour of Canada doing something to help, were nearly all immigrants themselves. People who have found Canada a place to escape the inequities and terror of other parts of out. I'll bet it's a long time since there were that many people at any other meeting called by the mayor. Ottawa, Calgary, Vancouver have all been outdoing each other in pledging to take refugees. (Not Toronto you'll note.) People in small towns all over Canada have been organizing, raising money and bring- ing in refugee families. The churches have been in the forefront of the activity, proving they are still an important moral force in our society. (This though many of the staunchest opponents of the rescue effort have been churchgoers). Former prime minister Trudeau has criticized the government for adopting a matching policy whereby it will support one refugee family for every one on a private sponsorship. He says the whole thing should be done by the government. I think the government is right. Canadians need the challenge. Far better to have this rescue mission led by the ordinary people than just another government program. There will be more support for the refugees if the strength of the grassroots, not the top. And at a time when Canadians had become frighteningly self-centred, it has been a relief to see the hearty response by so many. The good and bad of course is evident elsewhere. The bad inherent in mankind is shown by the Vietnamese authorities who, the world. These people feel the oppor- tunities should be given to others in trouble. 1'd like to think that our own towns here in Huron county are different than that town. Unfortunately, I'm sure that a visiting reporter could find plenty of negativism here too. And it isn't limited to small towns by any means. Perhaps the most startling commentary on the bigotry under the surface in Canada came in Toronto where a Liberal MP held a press conference to urge the government to increase its quota of refugees and received one congratulatory telegram, one abusive phone call and two death threats. When the government did announce it would up its quota of refugees a Conserv- ative MP in Toronto received 24 calls, all against the decision and many abusive and racist. One letter to the editor 1 read suggested the whole boat people situation was just a plan by the Chinese and Vietnamese to spread oriental influence throughout the world, How very, very sad! But it's the positive side to the situation that I find more important. That is the tremendous response ordinary Canadians have made to helping save boat people. A meeting was called by the Mayor of Ottawa for people interested in helping the boat people and more than 2000 people turned though they claimed to be the persecuted during the long Vietnamese war, now arc anxious to persecute others. But the will of mankind to survive, the bravery of a people is shown by the willingness of the boat people to risk their lives against all odds to take the little boats and sail away from their homeland hoping to find a new life. The goodness of the people is also shown by the fact that the boat people who have come here have worked so hard to quickly be self sufficient. And the goodness has been shown in the number of people who have come to Canada in the last 30 years who quietly went out and sponsored a family, not to be heroic but simply to repay the debt they felt they had for finding a new life here. My own regard for American singer Joan Baez has grown tremendously through all this. She was an early opponent of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam, long before it became fashionable to protest the war. But now she has come out strongly against the Vietnamese government for its inhuman actions while many of the others of the protest years are still so hung up in their left-wing politics that they call her a traitor. They are the traitors to mankind just as the bigots who don't want Canada to get involved are traitors to their own religion and the spirit of their country. Joan Baez is a symbol of the good, like the thousands of Canadians working to save the boat people. Thank God for the good. ••W.V::•:Y• :w. •: nv •.ar . r..::t ..• •rr •i4•:•r • r ::•r.• rr. ..

Conductor Ayers and Engineer Hamilton were in charge of the regular train, due to leave Guelph for Milverton at 7;45 and which upon its arrival at the latter point last night hitched up its suspenders and started off for Blyth, some 29 miles farther on. Monkton and Walton were passed, and the new station agents let off at their new headquarters. At the former station a goodly crowd was present to welcome the first passenger train to pass through their village, But at Blyth, although the train did not arrive until 10:30 owing to the delays authorized by caution in travelling over a road as yet untried, an enthusiastic throng awaited the train and when it unostentatiously pulled into the station it was greeted with loud applause, The crowd then took possession, and as many as could find seats made the trip around the "Y" while the train was being reversed. A pretty little town is Blyth. Set out in the centre of a rich agricultural section, than which there is no other along the route or of the G. and G. and built in the white solid style which characterizes the towns of Huron County; it is a good example of the town which thrives without undue exertion expended in the location of manufacturing enterprises. Quiet but handsome residences and numerous small, but neat, clean, business places greet the eye of the visitor. Just to the south east of the G. and G. station the track of the L,H. and B. of the G.T. R. passes over head of the C.P.R. line, so that the town is now well provided with transportation for the products which are marketed there. The Claim of the C.P.R. people that the new line is the best ever built in Ontario would appear to be well founded. There have been a rash of people who have said that the G. and G. has curves but the curves are so minimized and the outside rail elevated so exactly measured that they are unnoted by the passenger. It has grades, but the approaches are such that they arc negotiated handily, and there is no appreciable difference in the speed of the train. The ballasting is well nigh perfect, and for that first trip over a newly opened road the trip from Milverton to Blyth could not easily be equalled for comfort. Add to these conditions the excellence of the rolling stock - the easy running cars, etc, and the uniform courtesy of the train and road officials and it may well be said that no better train service is given in any section of the country. The new trip is not an easy one on the crew of the through passenger train. Formerly this train started from Guelph at 8;20 in the morning and returned at 7:35 in the evening. Then the line was extended to Elmira, later to Milverton, and now to Blyth, without any practical difference in the original time table, but adding in the last instance two hours each way to the working hours of the crew. It is a good long trip, some 115 miles each way. BIythCPR station speaks BY MEL.DA McELROY I came through town the other day With natives gazing along the way. I had to stop for I was too high. They cut some wires to let me by. Cameras clicked, I can understand why— There was a misty look in oldsters' eves. And now I'm here on higher ground, In country fair, on foundation sound. In my early life I saw people galore, Each train time into my rooms they'd pour. My waiting room with its seats of good wood Gave rest to many, did all it could. Lots of room I had for baggage and freight For it Ort Stubbs and McNall used to lie in wait. I'm proud to say 1 had an apartment too For agents and their families — there were quite a few: Herb Thomas, Russ Shaw, who was nice and tall, Rutledge, Riordan, Keller, Callings, Doyle and that's not then all. They had lots of room in their station home And liked their C.P.R. garden with the best of loam. WHAT DID 1 SEE? I saw Blyth men embarking for the West To work in the harvest to earn money the best. 1 saw Blyth boys go off to war. I saw them go, too, thirty years before. 1 saw people crying in anguish and pain, When a dear one was shipped by train. 1 did not mind the confetti that came showering down After a happy bridal couple arrived from town. C.N.E. excursions, S.S. picnics at the lake— With such happy people fond memories they make. Holiday crowds got me excited, What hugging and kissing when loved ones they sighted! WHAT DID I HEAR? The steam engine whistles kept me alive, And on telegraph clicking I used to thrive. The unloading of coal—I liked that sound, And the "All Aboard" call when the big wheels ground. These last few years, I've served a purpose true: I've stored a great big industry and watched as it grew. And now 1 will enjoy watching people look at me With admiring eyes—not manylike me left you see. I'm glad I'm going to be useful for I do not want to die, The bustle of life is precious, and you know the reason why. 6 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 25, 1979 WI Children's Day was held at the July meeting of the Auburn Women's Institute in the Community Memorial hall, The president Mrs, Eleanor Bradnock was in Lion's Club treat children for a day charge.

However, with the recent concern over silage and manure gases, there has been a tendency to mistakenly refer to the disability or condition caused by these agents as Farmer's Lung. In Japan Although there is not a lot of available research information into respiratory problems of farmers, an farmers, doctors and chemical workers found that farmers had as low lung function measurement as the chemical workers, Studies in England in the 1950's showed that wet, overheated hay contained a JULY 25th -31st Ontario study comparing the symptoms and measurement of the lung function in Scream stops further injuries Entanglement in the working parts of farm equipment usually results in serious injury or death. The severity of such a mishap would be reduced if power to a machine could be cut immediately. Most farmers work alone; in any case, a bystander probably would not be able to switch the equipment off in time to prevent injury. A Japanese engineer has invented a safety device which turns off engines in response to human distress cries, reports the Toronto Globe and Mail. The unit cuts anengine's fuel supply within one second of a scream for help, reports the inventor, Makato Ueda. Ueda began his research after hearing that a farmer was killed as the result of falling into a combine. "'There were several people around at the time, but nobody knew how to switch the engine off," he said. Such a safety device would certainly have merit. However, an operator could already be seriously maimed by the time the scream registers. Further, some components continue to move for some time after engine power is cut (for example, a baler's flywheel or the cutting reel of a forage harvestor.) By keeping all guards and shields in place and always switching off the power before working on a machine, you can avoid that "cry" for help'.

This was surprising in that while chemical workers were routinely exposed to a variety of toxic fumes and materials, farmers, because of their clean environment, were expected to have a better lung function than the large number of moulds that in some cases contributed to pneumonia. Exposure to the mouldy hay led to fever, with a cough and a severe shortness of breath, The illness could persist for a week. More recent research has suggested that farmer's lung may be present in several ways. Acute pneumonia is usually seen in people who have been exposed to a single heavy exposure to the mould, More frequent contact with less amounts of the mould can cause chronic coughing, shortness of breath, tiredness and loss of appetite and weight. Most individuals will recover from the disease. However, it will recur whenever they are again exposed to the mould. It is estimated that in 20 percent of the individuals who had the disease, permanent lung damage resulted. Pt is now known that there are several other agents that can cause the disease, such as moulds from mushroom compost, poultry and piegion droppings, and dusts associated with grains. Respirators are the most practical form of protection against moulds, and should particularly be worn by people who have previously developed the disorder. Ventilation will also help in many cases, as well as good crop management practises that reduce the chances of moulds developing in animal feeds. -......,14111411111111 �' -i�'� - -- • 111111111111111,,.....

The guest speaker was Linda Young from Wingham of the Town and Country Home makers, a home care or hospital at home program. She showed slides of their work, describing what a V.O.N. nurse is responsible for, The homemakers began in 1970 and as care in the home became more popular, there was a greater demand for homemakers. It covers all Huron County and now a second office has started in Clinton. The helpers are required to take a three month course at Conestoga College. They are qualified to help in the home and must he a profes- sional with person involved. There are five different areas involved, the home care, private care, cancer society, family and children services and social services. Home help services can do house cleanine, any extra cleaning needed, the heavy jobs, possibly putting on storm windows etc. The sitters can be live in people trained to look after patient's needs from Monday to Frid- ay. They can be hairdressers, the handy man and do personal chores and help keep a person in their own home, Other homemakers just come to visit the elderly once or twice a week, Linda stressed that so many are unaware of their help and the elderly can take advantage of their services, so many would prefer staying in their own homes. Mrs. Kirkby thanked Linda for coming and sharing the many needs they are helping with throughout Huron County.

Sugar & Spice by Bill Smiley For weeks I'd been telling her. i said, "The jungle is coming in on us, I'm not kidding. It's a bloody jungle out there, and it's going to get us," She thought 1 was hallucinating again. Jungle. Creeping in, Rubbish. And then I took her out and showed her, She hadn't taken a good tour of the estate for a couple of years. And what she saw shook her. "You're right. It is a jungle." A few years ago we had a kaleidoscope of colour out there, Now it's almost solid green, relentlessly creeping in from all sides. We had two rose beds. We had actually planted some roses in them, and some of the roses actually grew. Peace roses, Dypso- maniac roses. Red roses. As soon as they bloomed, I'd cut them, put them in a vase, and we'd sit around looking at them as though we'd borne children. 1 cut them back dutifully, piled dirt around then in the fall, and a couple even bloomed the second year. The roses were planted cheek -by -jowl with a fine healthy row of peonies that produced almost obscenely. The second year of the roses, the peonies were a little sick. The third year they were definitely ailing.. This year that particular flower bed has produced two peonies, three rosebuds, two elm trees about eight feet high, a healthy young maple and enough hay to feed a herd of cows. The jungle, Our other rosebed was somewhat of a failure from the beginning, despite all the fertilizing and fussing. Therefore, when a couple of acorns the squirrels had missed sprouted, I thought, "Why not? It'll add a nice touch of green." Almost overnight it seems, those acorns have grown to sawlog dimensions, First few years here we had tiger lilies and all kinds of other exotics, This year we had tigers. You could see them sitting there in the jungle at night, peering with yellow eyes. Some people might say they were cats. I know they were tigers. A few years ago we had brown -eyed daisies galore, This year we had brown -eyed children galore, slashing and galloping through the jungle that once was brown - eyed daisies. Even the woodpiles are cree ping closer. At first they were orderly woodpiles, in their place, ready to be thrown into the cellar, adding rather a quaint touch of rusticity to the backyard, as it once was. They we started piling fallen branches on top of them, Now they are horrible woodpiles, crooked and beckoning, fes- tooned by vines and other creeping green things. Used to be a fine young spruce growing near the garage, Top of it would have made a nice Christmas tree, It's grown so fast in fifteen years that it's a hazard to low-flying airplanes, We have squirrels so big and so bold they'll jump up on the picnic table and snatch the second half of your peanut -butter - and -honey sandwich without so much as a "Do you mind?" We have robins who pull out worms as big as rattlesnakes and then have to surrender them to grackles as big as seagulls, strutting about the clearing in the jungle in that ugly, pigeon-toed gait of their, Bees as big as beavers buzz around our beer bottles, Huge black ants hoist themselves up the hair on my legs, spit in my eye, and waltz off to attack a starling. Every day we move our lawn chairs a little closer to the back door. Out front, our mighty oak grows ever greater, peers in windows, rubs his nose against panes, chuckles with amusement, gives the brick a smack with one of his huge hands, and goes back to waiting for the next north wind, so that he can drop a dead branch across uur TV cable wire, Up the back of the house crawls a great green vine, with tentacles like those of a giant squid, slowly, carefully, and with 'super -human skill pulling bricks loose, one by one. Every so often it starts to die, and I watch with glee and hope. But no, fresh green tendrils sprout, every one of them a potential brick puller. We hack, we chop, we slash. To no avail. Everywhere the trees, the weeds, the vines, crawl toward and over the house, insidious. malicious, whispering to each other their eventual triumph. In this steady, frightening encroachment of jungle, there is only one bright spot, one thing that won't grow. That's the privet hedge bet ween the yard and the street, that gives us about as much privacy as a stripper at a medical convention, Planted at great expense, trimmed with decreasing regularity because there's noth- ing to trim, it looks like a kid who's been in a fight and had a'couple of front teeth knocked out. That's the good part. Down at the other end, where the snowplow man dumps forty- eight tons a year, it resembles a pygmy with a bad case of malnutrition. That's the way we plan to go, when the jungle forces us to flee .

R.R. 1, Dublin 527-0249 t2 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 25, 1979 Reviews of Blyth We're in the news BY RHEA HAMILTON With the growth of the Blyth summer festival comes a recognition of both the local theatre and the village itself, Now in its fifth season, the Blyth Summer Festival has become an integral part of the community. When reviewers come from all over Canada to see plays they also take a look at the community that has supported such a venture. The most recent acclamation Blyth has received has been from the Hamilton Spectator. The feature on the front of their July 13 second section included colour photos of Kate Trotter in "I'll Be Back For You Before Midnight" and also a group of young ladies who serve at the country dinners before show time on Saturday night. The main impact of the article, by Lyle Slack, is that Blyth is certainly a place you would want to visit. Besides the successful Canadian theatre which attracts thousands Blyth folk radiate a certain amount of friendliness which is a drawing card to so many people, the story says. As the review circulated throughout the community last week there was a certain amount of laughter and tears over the description of Blyth. Although many of the people who work on the country suppers are retired, some missed the humour of the critic's reference to "elderly women in their print dresses, and men, most of them farmers, in their short sleeved shirts, their thick necks red from the sun." The review not only hailed the theatre, but also the community. It included a short description of the history of the theatre and told how, over the years, the hard work of both community and theatre buffs paid off. Blyth residents have in the past been reticent about attending the theatre but have come to love it as much as anyone who attends the daily performances throughout the summer. Blyth Summer Festival has been re- viewed in the major Toronto papers as well as in articles in the western papers. Comments are constantly being made about Blyth over radio and TV. it looks like all that hard work is finally paying off. The success of the Blyth Summer Theatre is beine read about across the country. The future of the theatre in Blyth looks better now than ever before according to Mr. Slack. What was once termed a glorious failure is now a glorious future! Listowel sportsfest planned Sportsfest is being held in the host community, Listowel Peanuts By Charles Schulz FEBRUARYS HEART MONTH.

Rocky Raccoon plans THE BLYTH STANDARD, JULY 25, 1979 — 13 New float for Wingham ' Hi there! It's Rocky Rac- coon. Every year during the summer, many towns in the watershed celebrate a cent- ennial, anniversary, or a special date. Usually a par- ade is held and the Conser- vation Authority is invited to enter a float. In this way, the watershed residents are shown the Authority's goals and also ongoing or recent projects. This summer, the Author- ity was only able to enter 2 parades due to conflicting activities. Auburn's 125 an- niversary was on June 31 and Wingham's centennial will be held August 4. The float used for Auburn's "rainy" parade consisted of antique farm machinery. However, a new float will be used in Wingham's cent- ennial promoting conser- vation services projects in co-operation with private land owners, The Authority offers 2 of these services: reforestation assistance and Ierosion control assistance. The main one featured on the float will be erosion control. Inland erosion is a serious problem facing many of to- day's landowners. The pro- gram aids residents of the watershed with the renair or Auburn defeats Buster On Monday, Blyth Busters were unable to defeat Aub- urn in Auburn, Joyce Carter and Lori Ann Hesselwood hit two home runs each while Joyce Gordon, Marg Ander- son and Diane Anderson hit one home run each. The final score was 15 to 22.

SQUARE GODERICH, 524.7811 stabilization of erosion on their property. Various forms of erosion include gully, sheet, and streambank ero- sion. The agents of soil erosion are water and wind. In gully erosion, surface run-off due to improper drainage creates gullies or enlarges existing ones. These are difficult to control and are also hazard- ous when cropping. Sheet erosion is soil movement :esulting from raindrop splash and surface run-off. It occurs rather uniformly over the slope and may go unnot- iced until most of the pro- ductive topsoil has been lost. Poor construction of surface drainage systems together with cropping too close to streambanks has led to an increase in streambank ero- sion. Direct damages of streambank erosion include the loss of productive farm- land, the undermining of bridges and the washing out of lanes, roads, and fence - rows. Indirect damages (caused by stream sediment load include clogging of the !stream channel, silting -in of reservoirs, and the covering of fish spawning beds, The Authority, through the correction of these problems will make a significant contri- bution to the wise use and management of the natural resources within its water- shed. For further information concerning either of our conservation services pro- jects, contact the Authority at Box 5, Wroxeter, or at 335.3557. This is Rocky saying good- bye for now and don't miss the float in Wingham's centennial on, August 4. BOX OFFICE OPENS AT 8:30 P.M.

The general township mill rate for farms dropped approximately 2 mills as did the business and commercial rate. But taxes in general will be up due to the increase in the school levies. Elementary public schools increased 15% and separate sch'-ol in- creased 131/2%. The second- ary school increase amount- ed to 5%, At a meeting recently council set the mill rates for 1979. The farm and resident- ial rate for public school supporters is up 41/2 mills from 123. to 127.534. The business and commercial mill rate is up 5 mills to 145.179 mills from 140.295 mills. For separate school supporters the mill rate went from 124.024 to 128.201 mills. The mill rate for Auburn is the same as general town- ship rate and all taxes col- lected will go directly to Auburn this year. The 2% interest charge on overdue taxes will remain but an increase will appear on interest charged on over- due taxes. They will be increased from one half of one per cent to one per cent per month.
