UCW told
Disabled need normalcy
The first regular meeting
of the Harmony Unit of Blyth
U.C.W. met on Feb. 19.
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

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. Pat Spar -

his lecture to us by saying.

Let's concentrate on real problems
I am constantly aware of
problems in the working
force involving women. 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.

men in history is restricted to

ghen, 242.
The ladies honoured on the
stamps 1 must admit 1 have
never heard of and am im-
pressed with their accomp-
lishments. 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.
We all need to take a more
positive approach to the
whole concept of roles and

Heritage day?
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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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''

THE BLYTH STANDARD, FEBRUARY 25, 1981 -- 17
Sugar & Spice
by Bill Smiley
Comments writers live with
It's extremely difficult, as any columnist
knows. to please all of the people all of the
time. 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. N.W.T., excoriating me for talking
about the tough winters down here. which to
them is almost the deep south.

No room at the Smiley inn. little Smiles
On the whole , the letters 1 get are
delightful. 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. You're a literate man with some
brains in your head. An unusual
phenomenon.
