22,000 theatregoers and an operating budget
of $175,000 compared to the first season

Two Points, His Own Boss and McGilli-
cuddy's Lost Weekend, As a recent recipient
of a short term Canada Council grant he is
currently involved in a new writing project,

From Me to You
BY RHEA HAMILTON
In our house there has
grown that preceptible little
feeling of "anything you can
do 1 can do better,"
Now this habit of one
upmanship comes in handy
when one needs help and is
faced'with a difficult or dirty
job, Then a little bit of
egging on gets the other
partner right in there
helping.
I hope you don't get the
impression that we have to
trick the other into giving
assistance. Such is not the
case, It is that little bit of
competitiveness that makes
life more interesting.
THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 28, 1919 �- 4
Anything you can do...
With all our home
renovating it stands to
reason that in order to cut
corners it is necessary that I
come out from behind the
skirts of femininity and prove
my worth and share the jobs,
And I must admit that
soldering hot water pipes in
the attic and crawling in the
rest of the attic to blow
insulation have proved to be
both trying and educational.
In times of dire need and
no one around to run a power
saw or any other electrical
gadget 1 have taken up the
fearful looking tool and
applied all that I had seen
done by more masculine
characters and lo and behold
I can run those appliances of
thb workroom myself.
But there have always
been several little jobs or 1
should admit, much larger
jobs that I have declined to
learn and always used my
feminine wiles to avoid doing
them,
One of them is helping
chop wood for the wi:nt.er
duration, Now I have always
helped haul the wood out of
the bush and held the larger
pieces for the one operating
the noisy chainsaw.
Although not as sore as my
partner, I would be equally
tired from my share of the
Stratford minister speaks
I day's work. But all that is
changed, Klaus, in his ever
on going effort to see me
educated in the ways of
operating mystic and
mechanical wonders bought
a small chain saw for yours
truly.
The logic behind this
purchase was for me to cut
the smaller pieces while he
took care of the larger ones
with the equally larger
chainsaw. Therefore
finishing in less time,
As a beginner, the nasty,
noisy wood cutters frighten
me, I am forever worried
about missing the tree and
Alcohol, drugs are topic
Rev. Garbutt Smith from
Stratford was the guest
speaker at Blyth U.0 on Nov.
25 arriving in time to bring a
message to the Sunday
Church School. Mrs. Wittich
led a hymn sing at the
beginning of the church
service and the Junior Choir
sang 2 numbers.
Mr. Smith read Scripture
from 1st. Peter, which
includes "Gird up your
minds, be sober, be holy"
(Holy, meaning God's agent
for reconciliation.)
Rev. Garbutt Smith repre-
sents The .Alcohol and Drug
Concerns, Inc. and brought a
very timely message,
including facts about what
ma ri j;uana and alcohol are
doing to people today. He
told us that 37,000 Canadian
youth are suffering today
from the tragic affects of the
use of marijuana, and he
explained why the Canadian
Government dropped
legislation to decriminalize
marijuana, for the time
being.
He instructed us to write to
our M.P. Bob McKinley,
Health Minister David
Crombie and Prime Minister
Clark with the message
"Don't decriminalize
ma ri.juana." (No postage is
required).
Christian Faith is a dis-
cipline and we must know
what we believe and stand
firm, Too many turn to booze
as an escape, but its only a
dangerous trap.
Mr. Smith, on behalf of
Alcohol and Drug Concerns
and those who need its help,
solicited our prayer and
financial assistance.

amounted to $814. Thanks to
all.
Intended for last week:
Greeting worshippers to
Blyth United Church on Nov,
18th were Bob Peck and
Albert Wasson. Ushering
were Evelyn and Charlie
Smith, Mary Hoonard and
Tit4y Richmond. The
anthem was "1 forgive" and
Scripture was the Trans-
figuration,
For his children's story,
Mr. Wittich reminded 'the
boys and girls that the Bible
tells us that God knows and
cares about everything about
us, even to every hair on our
heads, So, each one of us is
assured that God loves us
very much.
Sermon title was "Let God '
be God", God is so often
defined in different ways: as
a fireman, on call when
needed in emergenices; as a
policeman, woo enforces
laws and people live in fear
of his punishment; as a gift
giver like Santa Claus; as the
God of our childhood, who
doesn't fit our adult lives; as
the God of certain ex-
periences (answering
prayers and forgiving sins).
We restrict God as a Doctor,
a teacher, a merchant, or
with a certain denominator.
God can never be defined.
He is infinite, Remember
God said: "I am who lam".
Lost Heir
played
Blyth "Lost Heir " party
was held on Nov. 21 with
eight tables in play.
Winners were: High Lady
Mary Cook, High Man -Alvin
Snell, Low Lady -Sadie
McDonald, Low Man -Harvey
McDowell.
Next party at Memorial
Hall, Blyth on Dec. 12 -at 8:15
p.m. Everyone welcome,
cutting a human limb off.
But not to be intimidated
by this whole affair I had the
chain saw started for me and
after a short lesson on oiling
and gas mixtures started
right in on the first small
limb of the fallen tree.
I must admit all those fears
I had about the chainsaw are
not with me anymore. I don't
know if I could start one
when it is stone cold but once
that little devil had warmed
up it took only one pull to
start it after refilling.
The only drawback, no
make that two drawbacks, is
the extreme misery my arms
are going through today. As 1
write this my arras are cr
out for a little mercy ante
linament. The other
drawback is that now there is
another job I can't plead
dumb about and avoid doing.

A community staff party
Every year numerous businesses both large and small get together
to share a few social moments and celebrate the season of Christmas.
So often in homes where everyone works in different places there
often arises a conflict of evenings and some are disappointed and miss
out on their staff party.
This year that could be avoided and more people could enjoy the
company of local friends at one Targe party. The Blyth and District
Community Centre is having a Christmas dance December 14. It is
offering groups the chance to hold their Christmas party at the dance.
Reservations are being accepted for groups of 10 or.more and a roast
beef smorgasbord as well as a band are being offered.
The proceeds from the ticket sales will go to the arena fund and
benefit everyone in this community and surrounding areas.
What a delightful way to party for Christmas!
You can enjoy the company of fellow workers as well as other friends
without having to party yourself out.
Tickets a'e available at the Blyth clerk's office and the post office.
Trudeau's leaving
One of the major Canadian news events last week was the
resignation of the Liberal party Leader Pierre Elliott Trudeau For
several nights the public was bombar ded with specials on this one
man, his history and his impact on this country.
The key points stressed many times through T.V. shows and radio
programs included the War Measures Act, the Skyshops Affair, the
RCMP scandals, Fuddle Duddle, and Wage and Price Controls.
When his career is reviewed many will wonder how such an arrogant
man came to lead our country for close to 11 years.
His private life has remainied private up to the point where his
estranged wife begins hers. He is an emotional man and has created
either intense dislike or fervent loyal ty among Canadians.
Fabien Roy member from Beauce summed it up nicely when he said,
"The House of Commons may not have agreed with his performance or
his comments, but it should be said that he knew how to fight for his
convictions and for his ideals with honesty, frankness and
determination."
It is the irony of the profession that people only really begin to admit
qualities of politicians when they are on the way out, Mr. Trudeau
pointed out to the House of Commons the day after his resignation.
History may not be kind to Mr. Trudeau. He may be remembered as
too strong willed and far too aloof to run a country as vast and varied as
Canada.

STONEHENGE—What looks like a version of Stonehenge is really

Behind the Scenes
by Keith Roulston
Justice
"There is no justice!" "We want
justice!" Next to food and a place to live,
justice is probably the most sought after
right in the world.
'l'he American Declaration of Indepen-
dncce called for "liberty and justice for
all" and ever since the American people
have been talking aobut the lack of justice
in their society. Pierre Trudeau in his
acceptance speech on becoming leader of
the Liberal party and prime minister of
Canada said we must build "a just society"
and ever since people have been pointing
out how far short he fell from delivering the
promise. For if justice is highly desired, it
is also most difficult to obtain.
We've always heard the complaint about
something not being fer and the retort that
"Who said life was fair." Fairness and
justice are indeed not guaranteed in our
world. Absolute justice isn't a right under
any form of government around the world,
Even the church doesn't dole oat complete
justice.
The problem is that justice, like right
and wrong,is supposed to be an absolute
but like all things involved with human
beings is subject to individual interpreta-
tion. What is justice for the person on one
side of a dispute may not be just for the
other person.
So long as humans deal with humans
there will always be a problem with
justicc. Faced with an accident involving
two individuals with no witnesses, for
instance, how do the authorities charged
with administering justicc handle the
situation? So often it comes down to the
word of one person against the other. In
such a situation the decision often is not a
just one. One person mayhave a superior
social position making it more attractive to
believe his part of the story. Perhaps one
person is a consummate story teller being
able to convincingly tell the story how they
want it to sound. Even if the situation is
equal.2 both individuals see the story
slightly differently, each thinking they arc
less to blame than the other. Whatever the
final outcome one or the other or both is
sure to think that justice hasn't been done.
Sometimes even when justice has been
done there is injustice. What about the
man charged with a crime when he is
innocent? In our complicated judicial
system a person has little chance if he
chooses to defend himself in court so he
must hire a lawyer. The accused is
ex onerated in the trial but he then must
face the prospect of working for several
years to pay back the heavy debt he's
accumulated in paying the lawyer to
prove what he knew all the time. Some
justice.
We tend to blame our politicians for all
that is wrong with the system of justice in
our country. Every case of injustice brings
cries for improvements in the system. Our
system can of course be improved and
should be but it isn't easy. In fact many of
the injustices we now have are due to the
tinct of trying to prevent injustice. Our law
has become so complicated only specialists
can know all the ins and outs. People
seeking justice are at the mercy of our
lawyers who are the highest paid of the
professions because of their position of
monopoly.
Over the years we've had to deal with
tJie problem of the more powerful member
of our society using that power to get an
unfair advantage over less powerful
members. We've tried to prevent this on
the one hand by more laws and on the other
by increased government interference. So
today we have the fact that a good portion
of all the letters sent to those "Action
Line" type columns in daily newspaper are
complaining about injustice at the hands of
government bureaucrats whose job it is to
protect people from injustice. In fact one
wonders if we can stand the injustice of any
more justice.
Our solution to all problems whether
they be economic or judicial has always
been collective action, in other words more
government. That hasn't changed the
problem though. We still have economic
problems. We still have a lack of justice.
The fact remains that all our problems
go right back to the individual members of
society. If we were all perfect we wouldn't
need government action. if we were all at
least willing to think about the other guy as
much as ourselves then we'd have few of
these disputes. But not everybody is
willing to play the game by the' rules. In
any group of people at least a few will be
willing to ignore the rules when it suits
them. A few more will get into disputes
because they honestly see things different-
ly than their opponent and refuse to back
down because they're tired of being taken
advantage of. So we expect government to
give us justice.
But governments are run by imperfect
people too. And so we don't have a just
society.

Blyth man
Wins Credit Union seat!'
, THE BLYTH STANDARD, NOVEMBER 28, 1979 -- 4.
By Jim Fitzgerald
Despite a year of highly
variable interest rates,
the Clinton Community
Credit Union reported
another good year and
will pay out $1,137,498 this
fall in the form of a 10 per
cent dividend to the 7,370
members in Huron
County,
President of the board
of directors, Ernie
Williams of Seaforth, said
at the annual meeting
last Thursday , night,
November 22 in Clinton
that even though the 10
per cent dividend didn't
look that good against the
present 18 per cent being
charged for personal
loans, and the 16 per cent
being charged for
mortgages, he reminded
the packed meeting that
interest rates were stable
until September. The
Credit Union's year end is
September 30.
Last year, the Credit
Union paid out $900,000 in
a 91/4 per cent dividend.
Mr. Williams, who was
re-elected president of
the seven -man board of
directors, said they are
looking at ways to update
the accounting
procedures in the office to
"keep up with the
banks." He said there
were several alternatives
including an in-house
computor, an on-line
computer, or an out of
office computer.
Any one of the systems
would provide instant
updating of a member's
account with a terminal
at each teller's wicket.
"We have made
several trips to a number
of other Credit Unions to
check out their systems,"
Mr, Williams said.
"We've grown beyond
our wildest imagination
of just a few years ago,"
he said, adding that they
hoped to take over the
basement of the present
structure from the
ministry of tran-
sportation and com-
munication and have
them move to a nearby
house owned by the
Credit Union.
Mr, Williams had some
warnings to relay to the
members from the board
of directors, including the
fact that a few members
are letting their accounts
become overdrawn,
"According to the Credit
Union Act, we have no
course but to send these
cheques back. We know
the members mean well,
but we can't continue to
break the law,"
A heavy repesentation
of Blyth area members at
the meeting failed to get
any firm committment
from the board of
directors on opening a
branch in Blyth, much
like the Credit Union has
done in Exeter. Blyth
businessmen say they are
getting poor service from
the only bank in Blyth.
Mr. Williams said the
Clinton board had many
things to consider before
opening a Blyth branch,
including the economic
factors, and the possible
competition against the
Wingham-Be1grave
branch.
The Blyth delegation
did succeed, however, in

getting one of their
members, Bob Henry,
elected to the board of
directors, ousting Jack
Reid of Clinton, who had
been a 19 -year member of
the credit committee,
Secretary Tom Eadie
was re-elected to the
other open seat, while
Gerald Holmes and
Norman Counter were
acclaimed to their seats
on the loan committee.
The annual report
showed the Credit Union
had grown by $3,5 million
in assets this year to
$22,727,325, including $2
million at the Exeter
branch, while loans had
climbed to $20 million,
nearly $5 million more
than last year.
Total revenue was up
$600,000 to $2,919,562,
while $10.8 million was
given out in new loans.

Gaunt M.P.P. and his family
Mr. Gaunt based his remarks
on "Faith". What does it
mean to me ? Where are
we? Why are we here?
Where are we going? He said
withoutfaith we have no
purpose. Faith comes to
some persons by hearing the
word of God. Some trust in
everything; science, govern-
ments etc. These things pass
away. There must be
something firm,
Each must care not only
for his physical needs; but
for his mind and soul.
Each of us believes in
Jesus birth at Christmas and
his death by Crucifixion.
Every Bible prophecy has
come true to the present
time, Jesus' return will come
as prophesied, he added.
The Christian faith sust-
ains us in a crisis. Persons
with a perfect faith pattern
find meaning in life and will

Sugar&Spice Drink, the curse of the working clays
by Bill Smiley
There has been a tremendous change in
the manners and mores of Canada in the
past three decades, This brilliant thought
came to me as 1 drove home from work today
and saw a sign in a typical Canadian small
town: "Steakhouse and Tavern."
Now this didn't exactly knock me out,
alarm me, or discombobulate me in any way.
I am a part of all that is in this country, at
this time. But it did give me a tiny twinge.
Hence my opening remarks.
1 am no Carrie Nation, who stormed into
saloons with her lady friends, armed with
hatchets, and smashed open (what a waste)
the barrels of beer and kegs of whiskey,
1 am no Joan of Arc. 1 don't revile
blasphemers or hear voices. 1 am no Pope
John Paul 11, who tells people what to do
about their sex lives. 1 am not even a Joe
Clark, who rushes up to a barricade
prepared to jump for some votes, then
decides to go back to the starting -line and
send in a real athlete, Robert Stanfield, an
older and wiser athlete, to attempt what he
knew he couldn't do, And the "he" is Joo.
I ani merely an observer of the human
scene, in a country that used to be one thing,
and has become another, But that doesn't
mean I don't have opinions. 1 have nothing
but scorn for the modern "objectivae"
journalists who tell it as it is. They are
hyenas and jackals, who fatten on the
�eavir.,,s of the "lions" of our society, for the
most I art,
I admire a few columnists: Richard
Needham of the Toronto Globe, Allan
Fotheringham of Maclean's, not because
they are great writers, but because they hew
the wood for which this country is famous,
and let the chips fall where they may. That's
the way it should be.
Let's get back on topic, as 1 tell my
students. The Canadian society has rough-
ened and coarsened to an astonishing degree
in the last thirty years.
First, the Steakhouse and Tavern. As a kid
working on the boats on the Upper Lakes, 1
was excited and little scared when 1 saw that
sign in American ports: Duluth,`Detroit,
Chicago.
1 came from the genteel poverty of Ontario
in the Thirties, and 1 was slightly appalled,
and deeply attracted by these signs: the very
though that drink could be publicly adver-
tised. Like any normal, curious kid, I went
into a couple, ordered a two-bit whiskey, and
found nobody eating steaks, but a great
many people getting sleazily drunk on the

In those days, in Canada, there was no
such creature. The very use of the word
"tavern" has indicated iniquity. IT was an
evil place, We did have beer "parlours",
later exchanged for the euphemism "be- • •
verage rooms." But that was all right. Only
the lower element went there, and they !
closed from 6 p.m. to 7:30, or some such,
so that a family man could get home to his
dinner. Not a bad idea,
In their homes, of course, the middle and
upper class drank liquor. Beer was the
working -man's drink, and to be shunned, it
was around then that some wit reversed the
old saying, and came out with: "Work is the
curse of the drinking class", a neat version
of Marx's (?) "Drink is the curse of the
working classes."

humiliated if he didn't have something
harder to offer you.
Now, every hamlet seems to have its
steakhouse, complete with tavern. It's rather
ridiculous, Nobody today can afford a steak,
But how in the living world can these same
people afford drinks, at current prices?
These steakhouses and taverns are
usually pretty sleazy joints, on a par with the
old beverage room, which was the opitome
of sleaze. it's not all the fault of the owners,
though they make nothing on the steak and
100 per cent on the drinks (minimum), it's
just that Canadians tend to be noisy and
crude and profane drinkers.
