Twenty members attended and one guest speaker. Myrtle Vodden of the Friend- ship Unit. As 1981 is the year of the Handicapped. the worship service, conducted by Annie Blair and Mare Campbell. was dedicated to the dis• abled. Mary Campbell ex- pressed her own thoughts on the subject, first referring to 'he two miracles performed on two handicapped people by Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew read by Annie Blair Miracles still happen 10 -day but not all disabled are healed. Most handicapped people display an amazing determination. All of us have a handicap of Some nature and we must face up to it in order to live a successful life, Mrs. Camp- bell said. Myrtle Vodden. greatly in demand as a speaker this ear, spoke with authority on the subject of the handicapp• ed having helped seseral handicapped friends and members of her Tamils lis c a fulfilling lite. Getting her audience imotsed at the beginning of her speech. she received their rapt attention. Myrtle dealt with stammer- ing, polio, loss of speech, hearing and sight. In the case of the last, she said that to open a closed doer for a blind person can create for him a real hazard. One of the worst things a person can do is to show sympathy. It hurts. Rather. one must try to make things as natural and life as normal as possible. Myrtle referred to the adyan• tages to the handicapped, the ramp and the wider doors at the addition to the Blvth theatre offer. Mans now L -an attend plays and con• Certs. Blind people I ;iso money through a fund for the blind in other countries. The speaker referred to an article in a magazine issued by the Canadian Council of the Blind which stated that S4(XX) had been sent to England to help the blind there, and the blind in Canada do all they can for the cure and prevention of blindness in India. The audience was so fas- cinated by the talking clock which Myrtle kindly passed around that they seemed loathe to hand it back. Annie Blair and Evelyn Smith both thanked Myrtle Vodden for her informative presentation, After bfi siness was dealt with. the meeting came to a close with prayer and the singing of Grace.

I am one of the readers of advice columns that outline the ductions. But the women who really changed history and strengthened our rights arc passed over in the schools. from Me to You By Rhea Hamilton rights of women in the business world. And 1 am also one of those people who believe there should be equal pay for equal work, whether you wear a skirt or not. But with all the progress some women have made in the past decade they some- times lose just a little more ground to fanatics who pur- sue silly issues. The latest is in the United States where an ardent femi- nist campaigned to change the designation of sewer lids to person hole covers. Ridic- ulous. That is as bad as the tasteless .word chairperson or freshperson in reference to college entrants. Such nonsense includes projects like changing the name of Fisherman's Wharf to Fisherperson's Wharf. To me it is all a waste of energy. There are so many greater problems in the work force and on the political benches with inequalities that it seems downright petty and ridiculous for women to be wasting time, energy, and money on trying to de -sex the English language. Granted there may be a few people out there who could use a bit of shaking up over language in order to draw the attention of the other half of the working force but some of the re- quests for change only draw laughter and derisive criti- cism. But fear not, there are some things afoot that are important and are making an impact. Believe it or not one project is in the hands of the Canadian Post office. Now before you groan, read on. in order to honour four remark- able Canadian women new stamps have been created with sketches of the ladies and a vignette pertaining to each's accomplishment. What.

Henrietta Ed- wards, born in 1849 became an expert on Canadian law and was one of the partici- pants in the "Five Persons case". This case confirmed that women were persons and had the right to sit in the senate. Another lady was the first Canadian woman doctor and was born in South Norwich in 1831. She crusaded for equal rights and the right to vote and founded the first wo- men's suffrage society. It will be the small educe• tional points that will make more headway in the up. hill battle for equal rights. In the schools where children are treated as individuals rather than boys and girls, that is where the new life- style of compatible working relationships will be formed. But while most men are willing to take a different view about the ongoing issue of women's rights there arc plenty of women who turn their backs on the whole problem.

Heritage Day is past for another year and a number of devout Canadians, despite their protests were unable to have the event made a national or even a provincial holiday. But that didn't daunt an enthusiastic group in the Port Elgin area. A couple of weekends ago organizers had a Heritage Day parade, Heritage Queen contest and pancake breakfast to celebrate. Even the merchants got into the act and had displays in the stores for a week depicting their heritage. in the furniture shop a group of ladies set up a quilting demonstration and the local bank's staff wore long pioneer style gowns for the occasion. The February blahs didn't beat the crowd and if their heritage day fever could be transmitted to the thousands of Ontarians who don't enjoy the winter then it would be a much appreciated holiday. But the government refuses to make the day a statutory holiday. The fear of a day of production lost worries them more than seeing everyone revelling at events like the Heritage festivities in Port Elgin. If the government could be assured that local municipalities and organizations would ensure that the holiday would be observed in a manner befitting the title of heritage there might be no problem in getting the holiday declared. But like all good things there are those who abuse holidays and that may be another reason that the government has not moved on having the Heritage day event made legal. But then what do we have July 1 or Dominion Day for but to remember our heritage and how better to remember tt an on those sunny days,,with camping and enjoying the land of plenty around us?There still may be some problems to a February Heritage Day. Flooding in Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Talking to each other The importance of the communications media in Canada has never been w clearly illustrated as in the current turmoil over the constitutional debate. Unfortunately, the failure of the media has never been more apparent either, A good case can be made for the argument that if communication was handled in the past better in Canada we might not face the current unpleasantness and that if commun- ication was what it ought to be today. people would at least have true information to make their judg ments of what is right or wrong in the country. Democracies depend on the majority vote of the people to make their decision on who is to lead them. The ver nature of democracy then demands that the people must be well informed to make wise decisions about the running of the country Communication , since the birth of Canada as a nation, has been the most important aspect of our nationhood. • Sir John A. Macdonald recognized that when he drt+st' through the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway with the same kind of single-minded dedication and imperfection) displayed by our current Prime Minister in the Constitu- tional debate. Canada is in the forefront of ultramodern communications. Ours was one of the first nations to have communications satellites. We've been among the leaders in the use of revolutionary breakthroughs like fibre optics that can send millions of messages through hair-like glass wires on tiny laser beams. The Teledon system which allows people to ask and receive information from central computers through television sets is regard• ed as the best in the world. This new two-way television may change our entire lives. Another kind of two-way communications, however, would have done a lot to change the current mess we're in. Despite all these important communications breakthroughs that started with the invention of the telephone by a Canadian, communication in Canada has generally been a one-wavstreet. It isn't the means of communication in Canada that has been lacking. it's the organization of that means, our wav of using the media to get across the message. In many ways the pockets of civilization across Canada are as isolated from each other today as they were a century ago before the building of the CPR, the coming of the telegragh, the telephone, the radio. and television. There just isn't much information exchanged between Canadians in different parts of the country. Despite all the concern about the future of Quebec in Canada before the referendum, for instance, what do you hear from Quebec these days? We pay for an expensive radio A sure sign of spring and television network Canadian Broadcast- ing Corporation in English Canada and Radio Canada in Quebec but the two operate as if they were sworn enemies. If it isn't a speech by someone threatening to break away from Canada then we in the rest of the country are unlikely to hear about something that goes on in Quebec. Surely the people there worry about jobs, about failed crops. about the same everyday troubles of life that we do. Why then don't we hear about them:' Likewise the West is ignored unless it's a ranting spec ch by Peter Lougheed or a separatist rally by a hunch of yahoos who want a chance to complain about French on the cornflakes boxes. I f .fur media in the last 100 years had given us the truth about people's complaints in the West. probably we wouldn't he in a situation of conflict now Why, for instance. is nearli all CBCs national programming concentrated in 1 or moo? Surely there are talented people in the rest of the country. Perhaps we can't expect to build sophisticated studio facilities every major city in Canada to produce the• most complicated programming, but coo can't persuade me that a program like Front Page Challenge couldn't as vastly originate from Edmonton. or the Fifth Estate couldn he produced from Calgary of Halifax. W'hc can't CRC assign so many house of its national television time each week to each ot the regions so that Canadians wouldn't he getting the view of their entire country as filtered through the smog -strained eves of .1 few Toronto media leaders. As for the private networks, well they're so sadly lacking in real relevance in their contribution to this country we might about as well set up repeater stations of ABC. CBS and NBC and save all the money wasted making these carpetbaggers rich. Our major newspapers could do the country a big service if they'd get out and learn what other parts of the country are like. They send one reporter from a Toronto newspaper to Alberta (or Quebec or the Maritimes) for a long weekend then bring him back and make him the resident expert on all regional activities for the next tw" nears. It's time all our media stopped being like forest fire fighters. rushing to the hot spots to report on the flames. You may have heard something of Quebec before the referendum but now that the fire is in the West, the reporters have gone there. There's been no fire in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick or North Ontario so you haven't heard anything from there at all. If our national communicators were sub- ject to the same laws as our doctors, the enurts would have a five-year backlog of malpractice suits.

JUGGLING AROUND—Maintaining speed and control on the ice is no small feat as a group of power skaters demonstrated Friday night at the Blyth Figure Skating Carnival. The group used bean bags to juggle and dropped the bags and skated around them. (Photo by Hamilton) people smile more. Dressed in brown and looking dapper with bright bows around their necks, they trooped out onto the ice and performed their skating routine.

Co-operative Health Services was the company underwriting the OFA health plan. available to farmers and their families across the province. Altogether. more than 120.000 people in Ontario subscribed to various health insurance and dental plans underwritten by the Toronto- based company which went into receiver- ship.

(Photo by Gibb) Farmers hear of energy alternatives BY ALICE GIBB Farmers who attended last Thursday's Alternate Energy Update seminar at the Clin- ton OMAF office were warned there's going to be a rapid escalation in world prices for non•renewable resources like oil and natural gas. The man delivering that message was Lucknow arca farmer Tony McQuail, who is now using both solar and wind power to cut rising energy costs on his own farm. Mr. McQuµil told the 40 farmers who attended that he hopes farmers can develop energy from renewable sources such as crops and manure as a marketable commodity. He said the Ontario Federation of Agri• culture (OFA) is currently working to persuade both the government and Ontario Hy- dro to be more responsive to farmers and other individ• uals developing energy crops. He said two possible on-farm products that can be used as fuels are oils from seeds like rapeseed and the alcohol -based fuels produced from crops. Mr. Mt -Quail said he per- sonally has reservations a- bout turning over control of the renewable forms of ener- gy to multinational compan- ies, and would prefer local ventral of companies who might produce fuel from these sources. He advised individual farmers to study ways they cin do the same amount of work using less energy. Predicting a price of SI00 per barrel for oil in the future. Mr. McQuail said if we were using energy produced lot -al- ly, citizens might have more control of energy collection. He concluded by saying we're now in a "volatile time" trying to determine energy needs 10 years down the road. Helmut Speiser, of the Energy Resource Manage• ment Centre, Ridgetown.

TIL 9 P.M. ri 12 — THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 25, 1981 THE POTENTIAL OF FARM WASTE—Charlie Thomas (left), a Brussels area farmer, shows Ross Kercher of RR2, Kippen, some of the odourless pig manure Mr. Thomas produced on his farm by a separation process. The Brussels area farmer told the Alternate Energy Update in Clinton last Thursday that there may be ways of using manure to produce ethanol or butanol gas and earn more return on that than simply spreading the manure on their fields. (Photo by Gibb) Woodiot, manure produce energy BY ALICE GiBB Nick Whyte is convinced energy costs for fuels like oil and propane are going to increase more than labour costs in the next few years. That's why Mr. Whyte, who runs a broiler operation at RR2, Seaforth. is heating his barn with maple wood cut from his farm woodlot. The extra labour required in collecting the wood is still costing him less than using oil to heat the barn. Mr. Whyte, one of the speakers at the Alternate Energy Update held in Clinton Feb. 12. put a large addition on his broiler barn in 1978. He decided at the time to try and cut his heating costs by using wood from his farm. so purchased a boiler from Robert Bell Industries in Seaforth. The combination boiler in a room five feet away from the barn can burn any solid fuel. and some liquid fuels. The boiler in Mr. Whyte's barn switches to oil when water temperatures in the boiler drop below a certain I evel. Should someone overtire the boiler, vents on the furnace act as a choke and cut off the fire before temperatures rise to a dangerous level. Nick Whyte told the audience a wood - fuelled furnace works only in an operation where someone is around the farm anyway, since the boiler must be fired every three or four hours during the day. This winter., the third on the system, Mr. Whyte is burning fairly large pieces of wood cut from his farm woodlot in the spring and late fall. when labour on the farm isn't in peak demand. Mr. Whyte cautions he's learned by experience dead trees don't produce much heat value when burned. The Seaforth area farmer said a well- managed woodlot should produce one cord per acre per year of wood for the farmer. The second year Nick Whyte used wocxi to fuel the boiler, he asked• Ministry of Natural Resources staff to inspect his 50 -acre woodlot. and mark the trees that didn't have saw log potential. He said conservation authority staff will girdle the trees so they die. slowly, which starts the drying out process before they're cut. Mr. Whyte has found it takes the maple trees he burns eight months before they're dr) enough to burn well in the boiler. The farmer, who cuts 50 cords per year from the woodlot, warned "safety is an important factor" in working in the woodlot, He said there's always a risk of falling trees toppling on someone and a danger of injuries when using a chain saw. The farmer said due to these hazards he never sends anyone to the woodlot alone. Mr. Whyte has found it takes two men four hours to cut a cord of wood, in the four -foot lengths he burns in the barn. Nick Whyte estimates labour costs at approxi- mately S28 per cord. The wood is always cut and transported back to be stored near the barn, so it's only handled once, which saves on labour costs. The broiler operator told other farmers at the energy update the boiler cost him 56,500, but he spent approximately S2.000 more to have it altered so it could burn wood as well as oil. He also constructed two small woodsheds to store the cords, so that additional cost must be considered. Nick Whyte said he's found a dual boiler, when fired on oil, works at a slighly lower, between five to 10 per cent. efficiency rate than a straight oil -burning boiler. That means he uses five per cent more oil in the furance. when he burns oil. ETHANOL EXPERIMENTS Charlie Thomas, a Brussels area hog farmer, discussed his experiments in producing ethanol from hog manure on his farm. Mr. Thomas said he has already discovered how to take volatile solids out of the manure. The farmer showed the audience a box of manure, now almost odourless, which had been separated into a solid state only the'day before. He said he's also studying whether he can make feed from the manure produced on the farm, by putting it through a hydrolosis process and refeeding the product back to his hogs. Mr. Thomas told the audience he believes manure is "rather an important product" and perhaps using it as a fuel or feed would provide the farmer more return than simply spreading the farm wastes on his land. Alternate energy Continued from page 8 discussed some of the solar energy alternatives available to farmers. He said there are now a number of barns and farm workshops in south• western Ontario heated by the sun. He said in the agricultural industry, if an investment pays off within a ten year period that's con• sidered a geed investment. Mr. Speiser said the payback period for many solar install- ations is now in the five to seven year period. In a slide presentation, Mr. Speiser showed several solar collector installations on the sides of Karns and workshops. He said a farmer who decided to build a solar collector on the side of his farm workshop to provide heat for the building spent an additional $500 for the col. lector. The payback period was only three to five years and the collector provided the only means of heat in the shop. PAY BACK IN FiVE YEARS The costs on installing a similar collector on a new farrowing barn were S4 per square foot. but Mr. Speiser said the payback period was still within five years. He said vertical wall collectors, rather than horizontal roof collectors are more practical in Huron County, easier to build and don't have the same problem of heat build- up in the summer. He added roof collectors do have a problem with snow accum• ulation. even when built at a 60 angle. Mr. Speiser said farmers considering a rock storage systme to collect heat should remember they need only one cubic foot of rock per one foot of collector. The energy expert said oversizing the mck storage area will prove useless. He also told farmers he doesn't think solar energy for grain drying is the answer in Ontario. He pointed out it takes one month to dry the average -sized bin of corn, and said the Targe producer just can't afford that much time. The speaker also outlined uses of heat pumps and heat exchangers. He warned dust can be a problem when farmers use heat exchangers in swine and poultry build- ings and also warned freez- ing is a potential hazard with exchangers. He said farmers must be able to wash heat exchangers often to over• come the dust problems. He recommended farmers con• cider some of the pre -manu- factured exchangers, but al• so demonstrated a plywood model a farmer could make himself. Mr. Speiser pointed out these warp and must be replaced every few years, The energy expert said the disadvantage with heat exchangers is the heat you recover can likely only be used in the building you recover it from, unless you use ducts and heat pumps to transfer the warm air to another building. Tony McQuail, describing his experiments with a wind- mill erected on a hill on his farm. said the generator has only been operational for a short time, but in that period reduced the Hydro bill from seven kwh to four kwh. Mr. McQuail said when the wind. mill and generator arc fully operational, it looks like it will produce more power than they can use on the farm. He said the most wind is produced in December and January on his farm, the same period when Ontario Hydro has the most drain on its system. Mr. McQuail hopes he can eventually feed his excess power back into the Hydro grid system. METHANE GAS Jack Pos, from the Univer- sity of Guelph School of Engineering, outlined exper- iments to produce methane gas on the farm. He said China now has seven million methane -producing digest- ers in operation on farms and communes. He said most are buried underground, and the gas produced has to be HURON -BRUCE TONY McQUAIL NDP THE FARM sroRESAIAN WHO CARES ABOUT Our Communitlq Our LIIMtyla Our IoM Make Tony McQuail YOUR VOICE in Toronto VOTE TONY McQUAIL HDP ON MARCH 19 Authorized by doe Oficial neat r..r McG•.d NDP Laeiam deaned before it can be used in internal combustion en• gines. In Vancouver, Prof. Pos said, the city's entire fleet of small trucks have been modi- fied to use methane gas produced at the city's muni• opal waste plant. The professor, involved in the ARCAL pilot methane plant project at the Univer- sity of Guelph, said their research has shown it's better to use methane gas as it's produced. He cautioned farmers they'll still have a manure disposal orohlem esen if they have an on•farm digester. but using the man- ure to produce gas will at least remove the significant odours, so the effluent which remains has an odour at a more tolerable level. Prof. Pos also showed slides of a variety of methane gas projects now in oper- ation. One of the largest, at Hooker, Oklahoma, was pro- ducing enough gas to supply the needs of 4,500 homes in a Chicago suburb. Experi- ments at the large plant were also being carried out to dean the liquid waste as it went through the system, to be re -fed to cattle on a nearby beef feedlot. In a question and answer period at the end of the seminar, Prof. Pos warned there's no use in farmers producing methane if they haven't a use for the gas on their farm. At the end of the daylong seminar, sponsored br OMAF, agricultural engin- eers Rom Fleming and Sam Bradshaw concluded with a general discussion of alter nate energy uses on the farm.

Rachel Battye. Blyth and Lori Bromley, Londesboro have had their entries in the Royal Canadian Legion con- test advance to Ontario and Western Ontario levels. Rachel, a grade 12 student at Clinton Secondary School, submitted her poem as part of a class assignment last November. It was submitted to the Clinton Legion and has advanced to the provincial level. Although Rachel doesn't Lori Bromley mind writing she prefers track and field events. Her older brother Mark won an 1 award in grade eight at the provincial level for the Cana- dian Legion contest. Lori Bromley, a grade seven student at Hullett Cen- tral, wrote an essay about her great uncle and the war. She was surprised with the win. She placed second in Zone Cl of the Royal Cana- dian Legion contest. Lori is known in school for her skill in track and field interests where she has won trophies. BY RACHEL BATTYE Cold November winds sweep the fallen leaves around the feet of the silent watchers Remember when they clung young and strong, vying with each other for their place in the sun? How like the fallen leaves are those we mourn, cut off from the sap as they reached their prime'. Eyes once shining with joy of youth grew dim, grew blind, gazing emptily into the wasteland. Each spring the tree bears fruit again, accepting the inevitable death of her children. Is this the fate of human love to create young men destined to die in war'' Belgrave WI at Huronview Bingo was played on Ground North on Friday afternoon, The choir sang the anthem In Thee Do 1 Live at the Sunday morning service.

In fact. if this column had done so, it would he extinct. Half my readers get so mad al me that they can't wait to read the next column. so they can get madder. The other half sort of enjoys it. forgives my lapses and hooks forward to what the silly twit is going to say next week. In the last couple of weeks. I've had some letters from both sides. A Manitoba editor is thinking of cancelling the column. Reason? "Too many columns dealing -with personal matters... I quote bits from his letter: "While it is understandable that family members are dear to Bill Smiley. . 1 feel our readers might tire of too much wife name-calling and how the grandboys are behaving. Once or twice a year would be sufficient." should he so lucky. You are quite right. sir. Once or twice a year would he sufficient. for the grandboys' visit. But I have never called my wife a name, unless you consider The Old Battleaxe or The Old Ladv to he ejorative, You should hear what some men call their wives. And from Vancouver. a young mother writes to say. "Keep on writing about your family and grandboys. 1 love these columns." The editor was fair. He added: "Columns, other than family•rclated, are good and have received lavorable comment from our readers." Thanks. 1 get letters from religious people who accuse me of being the right-hand man of the Devil, when 1 jestingly remark that God must have been out to lunch when he was drawing up the menu for this year's winter. I get letters from other religious people who send me dreary tracts and letters full of Biblical references, with the hope that 1 will print the lot. And I get letters from still other religious people, mostly clergy, who enjoy quibbling with me over a point but urge me to continue writing as I do, to make people think. 1 get letters from Tories who accuse me of being a Liberal because I don't think Joe Clark is the Set and Coming (there 1 go again.) And 1 get letters from Liberals who swear that I'm a blatant Tory simply because 1 don't believe the Second Coming has already come, in the form of Petit Pierre. But on the whole, it is not exactly a dog's life. I remember receiving a fairly vicious editorial blow from a weekly editor who said I wrote too much about teenagers. because I am a school teacher. i retorted with a bit of tongue in cheek. In high dudgeon, he cancelled the column. It's still going. I wonder if he's still editor of that paper. deciding what his readers can read. (Had a number of letters from his subscribers supporting me. none supporting him.) I receive letters from places like Baker Lake.

A typical example came in the other day from Bill•Francis. Moncton, B,C_ He says such nice things about the column I that I blush even to read them, and would never put them in print. But more to the point, his letter is witty, informative, alive. He's no chicken. a W.W. I infantry private, I'll quote a bit. "Though obviously, a man of sound common sense, I wonder how. in your youth. you got involved in flying a fighter plane. let alone risking combat in one. (Ed. note: me too!) 1 remember during those war years. watching a young fellow land his old Avro Anson like a wounded pelican in the middle of our freight yard and walk away from the wreck looking a little sheepish. Soon after, and nearby, another boy flew his Harvard trainer at full speed into a grove of trees one foggy morning. He didn't walk away from that one." Speaking of education, he says he attended five different schools and doesn't think much of today's big schools. Of the new permissiveness: "Anti -social behaviour today may be blamed on everything from sun spots to Grandpa's weakness for women and hard liquor. which all agree is a vast improvement on the old concept." A strapping at school and another at home for being strapred at school. His last s.hool was graded "superior," because it taught to Grade I I. Equipment consisted of a tray of mineral specimens, the remains of a cheap chemistry set, and a leather strap, but managed to turn out a number of people who went into the professions. Bill Francis says: "The school's rather good record was due not only to excellent instruction, but also to drawing. from a radius of five miles around. those whose eyes were fixed on distant goals and whose legs were equal to hoofing it back and forth. There was nothing wrong with my legs and I lived nearby. "Just a little Tight upstairs, they said: a handicap I've learned to live with, "Now. some seventy years later and a little wiser, 1 have become just an old fellow round whom the wind blows in the laugh of the loon and the caw of the crows and the wind whistles by so dreary and cold, in chilling disdain of ways that are old. But this feckless old fellow just putters aroundland heeds not the wind nor its desolate sound. Cares not a whit for what the winds say: just listens for echoes of things far away." 1 think that is wise and honest and real. May I feel the same. i'll be in touch. Bill Francis.
