The Blyth Standard, 1981-12-09, Page 1WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1981 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: 30 Cents Volume 90 & No. 49 LOOKS LIKE THEY NEED A HOT COCOA -- The Blyth Leos were kept fairly busy on the weekend selling hot cocoa along with their Christmas trees in front of the Blyth Variety. Annette Lucas left and Lori Souch looked chilly but were sheltered from the winds in a van. The two shy girls behind them were making new signs for their tree promotion to post along the street. You can buy your trees during the week by inquiring at the Blyth Variety.

Since then two young girls have grown up together while exchanging letters. The year was 1936 and the Blyth community was just one of many sending bales of clothing and food out west to the farmers and communities suffering from the depression and drought. Mildred Charter's mother here in Blyth packed a small doll of Mildred's to be sent to a girl out west with a node telling who the doll belonged to and asking that the recipi- ient please write. And that was the beginning of a friendship that has lasted 45 years through the mail. Last week the recipient. Anne Gartner Swidrowich. visited Ontario for the first time and her pen pal, now Mildred McAdam of Clinton, While she was familiar with the scenes from Mildred's letters and had noticed some of the goings on in pictures they exchanged, this was a first time experience for her. The depression and drought affected everyone differently then. While here in Ontario. Mildred noted that the families still had their farms to draw on for food, out west the drought made that supply almost non-existent. Anne remembers the bales that arrived by train for two or three years in Dilke. Saskat- chewan.

Question trade What started out as a direct trade with the Canadian imperial Bank of Commerce and the village of Blyth for the building of a new bank building with no loss in parking space has become a bit of a controversy A delegation from the Blyth Centre for the Arts approached council Monday night about saving the old hank building for the children's workshops, rehearsal space. and storage space. Mildred McAdam. president of the board of director came with Janet Amos, artistic director and board member Li) Herman to offer suggestions for the use of the building. The village has entered into a tentative agreement with the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce that would see the bank constructing a new building across the street in village parking area and the old bank building being torn down to provide parking space that would be lost with the construction across the street. The village, while assuming survey and legal fees for the transaction, would also benefit by $12.000. The group said it appreciates the support that council has offered in the past and encouraged questions from council. Mrs. McAdam pointed out to council that taking away the building which is over the 100 year old mark, would hurt the character of the area not to mention the loss of valuable commercial space on the main street. The delegation also suggested that the renovating of the building to bring it up to standards could be off -set with government grants and rents collected from a portion of the building. The additional space for the theatre productions would allow the basement of Memorial Hall to be freed for other community events rather than rehearsal space which it provides in the summer now. Their report on the children's workshop indicated 55 local youngsters took part in a program that could not have been held without the space the empty half of the bank. building offered each season, While everyone appreciated handier park- ing for the commercial area they thought the commercial value of the building was greater. Council was surprised with this approach. Councillor Bill Howson pointed out that the footings in the building were rotting and that was one of the major reasons for the construction of a new building.

The appeal on the site came about as the result of a provincial regulation requiring municipalities to have a plan of operations fo fiat their site done by a professional engineer. John Earl, from the Ministry of the Environment had come up with a proposed plan of operations for Morris and this had been accepted by the township with the exception of one condition requiring a hydrogeological study on the site. Moms felt this wasn't necessary as when the site had been purchased 11 years previously, an investigation was supposed to have been done by the predecessor to the Ministry of the Environment—the Department of Energy and Resources Waste Management Branch out of Hamilton. Present at the meeting were all members of Moms council, the clerk and road superintendent, members of Brussels coun oil and the clerk, Allan Mitt, (Morris Township's lawyer), David Crocker, (the Ministry of the Environment's lawyer). John Earl and Willard Page of the Ministry of the Environment office in Owen Sound. The Last chance Time is running out to save this Christmas on a subscription to the Blyth Standard.

This is also a time when extra emphasis is placed an sharing. We can share our time. talents. and resources to bring joy into the lives of ethers each day especially th ase who are less fortunate. Sten the wise men learned o' the birth of Jesus in the ar.lent world, they decided to si are gifts in order to pay hom►ge to the Christ child. They brought gifts of gold, frankilicense, and myrrh. With thee gifts they shared in the joy surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ.

Mr. Wittich preached the 3rd in a series of sermons on the Second Coming of Christ based on text from Matthew 24:44 and titled: A Lively Expectancy. There are 300 references in the New Testament to Christ's second coming. Only God knows when that will be. k will be when least expected so we must always be ready, and faithful day by day, having no fear. God is patiently waiting for more to be saved and ready, so none shall perish. Ushers were Bill and Susan Howson and Vernon Bromley.

Council hu turned down previous offers on the parking lot and the building but is open for suggestions. Reeve Tom Cronin would like to see main street reaction to this new development. "We still have 12 months to do something about it" he said. But the matter was to continue further. Roman Dzus from the Huron County Planning Department approached council about the same matter but for different reasons. From a planning, land -use concern, the building should be saved to preserve the long term viability of the business area, said Mr. Dzus. Mr. Dzus had with him a preliminary sketch of the bank lot outlining the number of parking spots that would be gained and the number lost on the street with the entrance and exit to the lot. The sketch also allowed for a green belt area of three feet. While a SO foot lot could accomodate up to nine cars, Mr. Dzus was rather skeptical about the number of cars that would actually park there u the lot would have to be fashioned for compact cars for maximum space. Council has viewed the parking problem in Blyth and felt that an area closer to the main merchants block would prove to be an asset. "We were tickled to death with such a positive move on council's part to do something to help the merchants" said Mr. Howson. A parking area closer to grocery and hardware stores would be an asset as these are shops that have heavy shopping and walking a distance from the car can prove to be a problem, Mr. Howson added. Mr. Dzus cautioned that in the cities people walk several blocks to get what they want. And Mr. Howson countered that most of the downtown core areas are coming filled with gift stores or what he termed junk stores, and that he thought the majority of people would prefer grocery and hardware stores. Mr. Druz suggested council go behind the viable front street space and use parking area behind the stores rather than in front. Councillors agreed that would be the optimum idea. Mr. Howson said he didn't think it was up to the village to saddle the tupayer with the cost of establishing parking space. A Business Improvement Association (BIA) could be formed and grants are available for them to revitalize the downtown area which would indude providing parking space, suggested Mr. Dzus. This was the first time this matter was brought before council and it agreed to have more input into the situation at a public meeting. "People who pay bills should have some input." said councillor Bill Manning. Mr. Dzus also requested that the planning department be allowed to look at the plan and design of the building and site plan and comment. h was Mr. Dzus' concern that the new building enhance the present downtown area and preserve the character of the village. Some members of council commented that they want to see the building standout to show the progress of the village. Council pointed out that it didn't want the bank to feel obligated to please the planning department and in turn hold up the construction. Council did appreciate the advice the department could offer.

Every year the toy cote - menials and catalogues come out earlier and the kids get hungrier and hungrier for the more advanced toys that are played up on their favourite commercials and t. v. shows. The toughest part is decid- ing what toy would bat sail your child and it the mosey you pay kw it ha well spent. There is help sad it comes ih the forst of a booklet put out by the Canadian Toy Testing Council which is updated on an annual basis to keep up with the deluge of inviting little items on the market for all age groups. There is an overall rating but bear in mind it is a general rating and the end descision is still up to the parent or gift buyer. The overall rating is de- signed to consider quite a number of things. Most of important of these is the reaction at the children who play with the toys. For those bo young to verbally tell how they lee, their reactions are watched to sex whether they favour parts of the toy and how often they return to play with it. But the testing carries on from there. The design and function are checked. Too often we forget just what ittle people are capabk of and buy an item that is just that little bit beyond their stage ane it could frustrate the youngster.

The whole country suffers The release last week of the emergency task force's report into the condition of agriculture in Ontario confirms what most farmers, especially younger ones, have known for some time, that the fight against inflation is being fought in the barn yards of Ontario, with the farmers being asked to man the frontline trenches and play the role of cannon fodder for the rest of the country. While the rest of the country eats cake, farmers are told to eat crumbs. The report, commissionedbythe Ontario Federation of Agricutlure, and released at their annual meeting last week, was researched by a group of people independent of the OFA, but knowledgeable enough about agriculture to give a very accurate insight into the tremendous problems facing Ontario's farmers, who over the past f iv e years have been producing more food for less money. Caught in a vicious circle of falling prices for their commodities, especially pork, beef and some grains, farmers have seen their input costs, including fuel, fertilizer and interest charges soar to unheard of high levels. But Ralph Barrie president of the 25,600 member group, said part of the blame rests with the farmers themselves. He said farmers have too often been loyal to political parties, too obsessed with independence and too allied to narrow commodity biases to speak with a strong, united voice on common problems. This has made them susceptible to attacks from all sides, including consumers, the media, and industry who have double standards, Barrie charged. "They embrace the philosophy of collective barganing, monopoly pricing and marked sharing, and they benefit from them. But they damn our marketing boards and farm organizations for trying to do exactly the same thing," Mr. Barrie said. And he's right. If farmers aren't prepared to help themselves, then few others will, and in the long run the whole country will suffer it we end up putting our farmers out of business and importing our food.

One sided views For over a year now Adrian Vos has been writing his one-sided articles about the pork industry in Ontario and Canada. He has also been commenting regularly on the opinions and intelligence of those who hold different views. 1 recall he is the one who said "squealing is the privilege of the weak." There is hardly any farm publica- tion that doesn't have some of his "squealing" in it. In the November 17th issue of Farm & Country. Adrian states in his "Wait For Market Facts" that Del O'Brien, Lorne Henderson. and myself should wait until we have all the facts before we form opinions on what is good for the future of the pork industry. I suggest he practice what he preaches. The Huron County Pork Producers Association (HCPPA) chairman had agreed to hold an information meeting to discuss the pros and cons of supply management and have a vote of producers to see if they wanted to pursue supply management or not. The general meeting was scheduled for the end of July. Then at an executive meeting Adrian Vos per- suaded them to reverse the decision to hold a vote. What was Adrian afraid of? Did he want to wait for the Bowman marketing research report? If so . then why did the HCPPA executive send a letter to the Bruce County Association stating that only 10 per cent of Huron's pork producers were interested in supple management? On what facts was this figure based? There are none. Next, recommendations were sent to Dr. Gordon Bowman's market research committee that clearly stated that HCPPA were against any type of supply manage- ment in the pork industry, On what facts were these recommendations based? Both these things were done before pork producers have had a look at the Bowman report. Do Huron pork producers want a small number of men making these decisions for them without first having a vote? It seems strange that others were supposed to "Wait For Market Facts" while Adrian wages his personal brain wuhing campaign on Ontario pork producers. I know Adrian is aspiring to be a full-time writer. Maybe he could write about other things. Perhaps he should stick to a comic strip featuring Arnold the Pig or Miss Piggy. Andre J. Durand, R. R.02, Zurich The last leaves Behind the Scenes by Keith Rou/ston Common sense is now uncommon There is nothing less common in this world than common sense. How else do you explain how some people can package common sense in a new wrapper of buzz words and sell it back to us as the expensive product of consultant services? 1 had the chance to listen to one of these consultants last week at a conference 1 attended. He's a man who makes a good living talking to leaders of government and industry telling them basically what they would already know if they weren't so wrapped up in their own day-to-day activities that they couldn't see ahead or backwards or to. either side. Now I'm sure our expert, a "futurist" skilled at telling us what to expect in the future, didn't display his full repertoire for us at the meeting since we were concerned with only one small segment of the future (people's needs in recreation and culture) but what he did show though, couched in terms complicated enough that his message went right over some people's heads, was simply the old saying that history repeats itself, or another, there is nothing new under the sun. WHERE YOU'VE BEEN Our expert talked about looking at things in context, or his "contextual way of thinking" simply saying that if you want to see where you're going you have to look where you've been. Taking a look at our cc -comic future, for instance, he said that although few government officials or politic- ians will admit it yet in public, they agree that the days of four and five percent growth in our Gross National Product are gone. Such things are still heresay with the general publk. We have come to take rapid economic growth, annual increases in our standard of living, u our inalienable rights. But our expert, Reuban Nelson from Ottawa, pointed out that four or five percent growth was not normal, We see the current slow economic growth u out of whack when we compare It to the years since the Second World War when we enjoyed tremendous economic growth. However, look at econom- ic growth over a 100 year period and you'll see that our slow growth of less than two percent is normal, the fast growth of the last 30 years in the anomoly. Remember too, he points out, that those days of the late 1800s included the industrial revolution when fewer people were producing more goods than ever before. Likewise, he said. our population boom since World War Two is the first time since the 1600s that the birthrate has increased and therefore anyone who expected it to continue was shortsighted. LONG RANGE We need people like Reuban Nelson because too maty of us get wrapped up in day-to-day life that we can't see the long range. When we were teenagers we were so busy trying to be part of the gang that we often didn't realize how silly we looked in our fashions, how stupid we were in endangering our lives to prove that we were just as brave in driving our cars at high speeds, could drink just as much and do so many other stupid things. Most of us grow out of those particular short-sighted failings but often we stay just as short-sighted in other things. We are often just as bound to fashion, both in dress and though, when we are in our twenties, thirties and beyond as we were when we were teenagers. We go to the faahionabk dubs, and restaurants, read the fashionable books, watch the fashionable television programs, buy the fashionable clothes, decorate our homes in the fashion- able way, work at fashionable jobs. Thinking "in context" is, I think a little easier in a place like Huron county than in say a large city like Toronto. For one thing, we in Huron county live with our sense of history. In a place that is more stable, where we can still see houses and stores built by our grandparents and great grandparents, we are more likely to see things on a wider time Please turn to page 5 THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 9, 1901 — AS W.

She had crafts to show, also simple helpful things which people with the use of only 1 hand, could use. Seven seniors celebrated a birthday in November. A delicious lunch was serv- ed.

"i remember my mother boiling the salted fish to take away some of the salty taste." said Anne, "but we sure enjoyed getting all the fish we could." The Gartner family re- ceived the Charter parcel and the doll packed within started the letters rolling. From that point Mrs. Charter, in Blyth, sent parcels directly to the Walter family by-passing the community bale. Anne is the oldest of ten children and they all remem- ber the homemade candy from Ontario that was packed with nuts. Anne recalls her grand- mother telling her about how the cows would bawl from lack of water and be forced to eat the Russian thistle grow- ing in the prairies. Her grandmother would cry too, just listening to them. But times have changed and Anne married Walter Swidrowich and lives near Bethune, Saskatchewan, not far from where she grew depression affected them. To Anne the history of families is especially intrigu- ing. Her father and grand- parents were originally from Germany and had immigrat- ed to the Russian Steppes when the Catherine the Great opened them up for settle- ment. When the laws govern- ing the new immigrants were changed the family packed up and came to Canada to settle in the great west. Anne relates stories to her children of the songs that were made up to help make learning another language easier for the adults as well as the children. Anne's parents are still active and celebrated their anniversary recently with their extended family of 76, Anne enjoys the country- side and being part of a farming operation she has a keen eye for the crops grown here. She and her husband have five quarter sections out west (860 acres) and they harvest spring wheat, oats and barley as well as durham wheat. up. For about 11 years Mildred and Anne lost track of each other while both women were busy raising youngsters. Then Mildred travelled west in 1969 and sought out her missing penpal. Since then they have written once a month what could be called a diary letter. They write a bit down each day and then at the end of the month send it off. Anne, while only here a week, was amazed at all she saw, especially the old build- ings. "In Bethune they tore down an old office and store and can't afford a new build- ing right now." said Anne. "And there it sits, an empty lot." History is gaining some support in Anne's area and a local history book has been published about the origins of area families and how the After her stay here she intends on going home to persuade her husband to come and visit.

She was born in Alton, the daughter of George Morris and the former Elizabeth McCutcheon. She was pre- deceased by both her first husband, Frederick Rutledge and her second husband George Roy Bennett. Surviving are her children, Kenneth of Agincourt, Hor- ace of London, Fred of Ottawa and Leslie of Mississauga, a stepdaughter, Marie (Mrs. William Coutts) of Walton Behind the Scenes Continued from page 4 frame. We also live close to nature, seeing the seasons blend one to another, knowing that summer will surely become winter and winter melt into summer again, that things are ever changing yet forever the same. MORE WRAPPED UP People in the city tend to get more wrapped up in today, with themselves. A fashionable New York writer wrote that if she was anywhere else in the U.S. but New York, she wouldn't get her hair done until she got back to the city. Some people talk about having a wine that isn't up to snuff as i it could be fatal. When 1 used to live in the city in the age of the mini -skirt, girls would have purple knees and thighs rather than be unfashionable. All this while people in the world are starving, while making our good life of today may be mortgaging our future. The lack of "context", Mr. Nelson pointed out, led us to think we could just throw out to amend by-law 013-80, The Hamilton Municipal Drain Improvement, necessary due to the actual costs exceeding the estimates. By -Law 019.81, The Nivins Drainage Works Extension and improvement, (Colborne Township) was also approv- ed. and a stepson Ross Bennett of Walton. Also surviving are 18 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. She was pre. deceased by three sisters and three brothers. Funeral services were held from the Brussels chapel of the M.L. Watts Funeral home on Monday, November 30 with Rev. Charles Swan of Duff's United Church in Wal- ton officiating. what we didn't want, like industrial chemicals, sulphur in the air, and other pollutants. People never stopped to think that we live in a closed system, that everything goes around and around and what you throw out today will have to be dealt with tomorrow, They were too far from their own history and from nature. Yet we're not guiltless here in Huron county either. It took a lot of pressure before some municipalities agreed to sewage treatment. A lot of farmers today aren't well enough aware of the dangers of liquid manure waste, of chemical sprays and fertilizers. Worse, with modern agricultural practices they are actually ruining the land that hu fed us for more than a century. They have only to look to once fertile places of the world that are now wastelands through bad husbandry to see the consequences. Trouble is, too few of us are willing to look until it's too late, or until some high-priced expert tells us what we should see for ourselves. THE FIRST SNiP -- Blyth Lions president John Stewart was the first one to do the honours Saturday afternoon. Harold Ferguson donated his beard to charity by having patrons buy a snip of it. For every dollar raised Mr. Ferguson donated $1 (up to $50) to the Lions Christmas charity fund. The trimming started at two in the afternoon and completed much later In the day.
