The Blyth Standard, 1981-12-16, Page 1WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1981 BLYTH, ONTARIO, PRICE: Volume 90 — No. 50 717 sign guard petition for Blyth Jack Blake and Jack Caldwell brought a petition of 111 names to council last Monday night requesting a crossing guard at the corner of Queen and King Streets for the youngsters. The men had approached council previous to this and decided to offer a petition to show support for the idea. Council had discussed the matter at their meeting in November and let it sit until they had done some more research into the matter of insurance and responsibili- ties in case of an accident while the guard was employ- ed. Mr. Blake said he had DEAR SANTA -- Over 200 youngsters crowded into Memorial Hall Saturday to watch the free film and get a treat from Santa. Heather McDonald and Heidi Scrimegeour were among the last youngsters to warm Santa's knees and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. The program was sponsored by the Blyth Lions Club and the Blyth Board of Trade. (Photo by Hamilton) requested a guard close to 1 years ago and it was turned down by the Ministry of Transportation and Commun• ications. Mr. Caldwell. who drives a large truck noted to council that he felt reassured when he drove through a town where there was a crossing guard and he said it makes drivers more aware of danger spots where children played. Councillor Bill Howson was concerned that children wouldn't obey the guard. Albert Wasson said he hesi- tated to support the move due to the liable the village could be subjected to and that council's job was to protect the taxpayers (from costly lawsuits in case of an aces dent). Mr. Caldwell said the cor ner was well used by the children u it is a direct route to the arena from the school and youngsters are either headed there or to Yvonne's takeout on one corner. It is a busy corner and parents are worried that the accident free record that has been estab- lished could be broken.

Tickets were sold by students at the Blyth Public School with prices going to the youngsters who sold the most tickets. Graham Glousher won first prize and picked out a hockey stick. Deanna McDougall, second. with a doll: Karen Foran. a doll, Stephen Souch, hockey stick and Jennie Allen, a children's record. The prizes were donated by Blyth Variety and Kitchen Cupboard.. Blyth Saga. and Blyth Pro Hardware. The ticket sales were enough to cover the prizes and the cost of printing the tickets and left the group with a net profit of S41. Christmas lights from a retail outlet would cost approximately $200 per fixture so the group is looking at making their own. While not enough was raised to do too much this year the fund will be added and nest year the lights should be evident un Blyth's main street- 01540twk4f*.X4e4k Celebrate an village Christmas Blyth Public School's Christmas concert is Thursday night at 8 p. m.

Snow new for refugee family BY RHEA HAMILTON For many Canadians winter may not be 'the most attractive time of year, what with the cold and flurry of snow. But for new Canadians arriving here from Laos in Indochina the snow is muh more than a mere inconvenience. It is an attack on their way of life. A new family of refugees arrived in Blyth, Thursday and are undergoing a type of culture shock. They have spent the last two yeas in a refugee camp in Laos where the average winter temperature in January is 68.69 degrees farenheh. The season is dry with the builk of ' the rains coming in the summer. Snow is something that only a few xperience high in the mountains that cover half of the are . The young family consists of Boua-Vone Ounsamone, 21, his wife Thong Khank, 19, and their two baby boys Sack Davone, one year and nine months and Chieng Kai, seven months. Accompanying them is Boua•Vone's mother Pune, 57. It hu been a difficult few days for them. After spending so much time in the camp due to Thong Khank's T.B. they got a clean bill of health and within one week they were ont the plane bound for Canada and safety. They are not alone here. Waiting for the new family at the airport were the sponsoring church families from Blyth and Bow-Vone's brother who is now settled in Exeter. Along with the familiar faces there was an abundance of food and an exchanging of greetings to help them get over the initial few days here in their new country. The Christian Reformed Church here in Blyth initiated the sponsonhlp one and a half years ago. They uked specifcially for the Ounsamone family, knowing that they had relatives located in Exeter. While the C.R. church did the ground work, others not associated, are helping out, making it a community affair. Boua-Vose was an apprentice mechanic for one year in his country and his wife is a homemaker. Their first request upon coming to Canada was where and how soon can they start learning English. Their sister -In-law, Mona Ounsamone who knows some English. is staying with them for a few days to help them get adjusted to things like central heating, warm clothing and different food that we take for granted. They are living in the Stewart Johnson house across from Chatterton's Auto Service Station. If you are able to offer anything to help them settle in faster and easier don't hesitate to contact sponsors Rita and Koos Verburg. A Christmas tree has been decorated for them but there are still many questions that only time will allow to be antwered. In the meantime they are looking forward to becoming good and hardworking Canadian citizens in this, their new country.

I am afraid that my cynicism is showing this festive season. 1 just finished reading the paper for ideas for a Christ- mas column and have come away depressed and quite void of the spirit that infests so many of us at this time of the year. U.S. President Reagan's warnings to American resi- dents in Libya have brought more problems out in the open. Being encouraged to leave a country that they report they are enjoying is causing them diplomatic problems there. is it possible that at this time of year when even the most mortal of enemies lay down the swords and knives that the Americans could likewise follow suit and maintain some sort of peace until the new year? Why not bring in the new year with a blast in Libya if that is what the country is aiming at? Depressing isn't it? The federal budget is still getting bombed. Mind you if the Conservatives had taken so much time with their own last budget handling the com- plaints, they just might still be in office. Now that is depressing. Poland is still starving and the unions are taking a greater stand for their rights no matter what threats the new military government makes, Mohammed Ali, the world heavy weight boxer, is on the outs this time and maybe for good. After his ridiculous defeat Friday night in Nassau he should be put away in a strait jacket. Who ever heard of a man being able toi go out of action with a world title and then blowing it. Now he can go out as the fool who lost it all. Ego tripping can be costly. Another story that caught my eye is the citizen's arrest of an eleven year-old young- ster who was wearing a T-shirt slandering a couple's daughter. The parents stopped the lad, removed the shirt and carted both back to their home where they called the police. What a charming boy he must be. 1 am curious as to just what an eleven -year-old would write on his T-shirt about a young girl that should cause such furor. He should be concentrating on Santa and Christmas giving at the school concerts. Pornography and alcohol- ism are on the increase and in London women married to CN rail workers called a meeting to plan for the foreseeable layoffs that will cripple their way of life as they enjoy it now. Amid all this merchants are trying vainly to overcome a slack season and advertising to get everyone in the shopp- ing spirit. One lady used a stolen credit card to prepare for the holiday season and after a six month spree she was caught and will be spending Christmas in jail. for $6,800 in fraud charges. This certainly is a bah humbug column and 1 really should stop it right here. Next week should be bet- ter. f am going to finish off my Christmas shopping and even spend an evening wrapping if I can find an evening to spend at home. This is not only a festive time but a very busy time. Between all the regular out- ings that so many families go through, like hockey and gymnanstics meetings, there are now concerts, variety productions and Christmas oriented events to draw on your time. If you are anything like me you hate to miss them and you hate to spend valu- able time away from home where so much needs tending to. But take the time. That is what lam telling myself when this week I will attend both the Blyth and Hullett Central School Christmas concerts. That should put me in the right frame of mind for Christmas and I can get into the swing of baking and Christmas giving without this cynical approach. UCW meets at Manse The Blyth U.C.W. held their December meeting at the Manse on the 10th. Attending were 4 members from the Evening Unit, 10 from Harmony and 12 from the Friendship Unit. Mary Campbell conducted the Worship service which was preceded by piano Christmas selections by Ruby Philp, who also played kw the singing of four carols, a meaningful part of the service. Mary Campbell inter- spersed the singing with readings from Scripture and from the popular Christmas kieals book. Her closing prayer was one written by Robert Louis Stevenson many years ago. Reports of the years achievements were given by the unit's leaders: Susan Howson, Evelyn Smith, and June Peck. The following reports were given by Dept. Conveners: Mary Howson -Stewardship; Mary Wightman - World Outreach; Mary Holland • Church and Society. Every one enjoys the Community Friendship report. This year there was none because of Convener Ida Proctor's absence. E1sde Walsh was called on for the C .. ,r .ding Secretary's report; Dorothy Deer for the Quitters, and Mary Wightman for the Treasurer'? report. Luella McGowan brought in the slate of officers for 1962-83, which was adopted. Sharon Wittich conducted the installation. June Peck presented retiring U.C.W. president, Evalena Webster, with a gift in appreciation of her excellent leadership and her heart • felt interest always, in every aspect of U.C.W. work. Mrs. Webser in her thank - you remarks expressed to Sharon Wittich how much each member looks forward b the December meeting when the manse is opened, because they love not only its Christmas hospitality she said, but also the beautiful artistic Christmas decor throughout its rooms. Mrs. Webster also thanked the ktnch committee: Evelyn Smith, Ruby Pattison, and Melds McElroy.

The levy from the Huron Board of Education was presented to council for 547,643.50 which will be paid at the end of fhe year. The village will still have to borrow funds to cover bills.

The winners were Grace Castle, Clinton and Fran Cook, Blyth. Helping Santa with the draw is Liz Herman of the Blyth Saga. (Photo by Hamilton) E. Wawanosh may pay more for fires Wingham Advance Township councillors are concerned that East Wawan- osh might have to pay considerably more for fire protection next year if a proposal to expand and re- novate the fire hall in Wing - ham is carried out. The township would have to pay its share of expanding and renovating the existing building, estimated at S30,000, plus an annual fee for heating and maintaining the building. East Wawanosh also con• tributes to the Blyth Fire Department, and it. too, is considering building a new fire hall. Richard LeVan and James Currie, Wingham township cuuncillors, attended last Wednesday's meeting of Fast Wawanosh council to discuss the proposed plan and to get council's reaction to it. They explained a bigger fire hall is needed to house fire -fighting equipment, the new pumper which has been ordered. What the town hopes to do is expand the existing hall by tearing down the old wooden portion, built before the turn of the century, and adding two new bays. Mr. Lean estimated the cost of the addition and renovations of 5160,000. It was proposed that Wing - ham should continue to own the building and lease it on a long-term basis to the Wing - ham and rural fire commit- tee. The fire committee in - dudes the town of Wingham and the townships of East Wawanosh, Morris, Turn - berry and Howick. Capital and maintenance costs of running the department are shared among the municipal- ities as follows; East Wa- wanosh, 18 per cent; Morris, 18 per ant; Howick, 17 per cent; Turnberry, 23 per cent; and, Wingham, 24 per cent. Mr. LeVan suggested the moat reasonable way to finance the new structure would be for each municipa- ity to come up with its share, In the case of East Wawan- osh, this would amount to 530,000. The township could raise the money any way it pleas- ed, he said, spreading it over five years or all in one. "It doesn't make sense to go to a debenture market," Mr. LeVan commented. A 20 -year debenture at 20 per cent interest would mean paying out a total of 5650,000 for a 5160,000 project. He also said Wingham has had a bad deal in the past. While the fire committee has paid rent to help heat and maintain the fire hall, this has never covered all the costs and the town has had to make up the difference. Under the proposed new agreement. the operating costs would be shared. Wingham also paid to put up the existing building, he pointed out, and the other members of the fire com- mittee have never con- tributed toward the capital oast. He proposed that the existing building and the land it is on be assessed to determine market value and that this cost be shared among the members. Mr. LeVan said the estimated value is 515,000 for the land and 545,000 for the building. Mr. Currie, chairman of the town's fire committee, said the town is conscious of the relationship it has en- joyed with its rural neighbors and pointed to several ser- vices offered."til our mutual benefit", including the hos- pital and the high school. "We don't want to upset the apple cart," he said. Reeve Simon Hallahan pointed out that East Wa- wanosh pays Blyth for fire protection as well as its oontributiam to Wingham. Blyth just bought a new pumper too, he said, and also is discussing building a new hall. After Mr. LeVan and Mr. Currie had left, council dis- cussed the proposal. Neil Vincent, one of the township's representatives argued Wingham agreed to house the equipment and "that's why it's portion is as low as it is." "We have 18 per cent in Wingham and 19 per cent in Blyth; it could cost us more than Wingham," claimed Mr. Taylor. "1 hope these figures are away high," he added, refer- ring to the 5160,000 estimate for the fire hall expansion and the 545,000 for the existing building and 515,000 for the land. Reeve Hallahan said the unforeseen expense will be difficult to include in next year's budget. "That's the problem.' agreed Mr. Taylor. Mr. Vincent suggested that he check into the old fire agreement in which, he claimed, the town of Wing - ham had agreed to supply housing for the fire trucks and equipment. "What will happen if all the townships say we just can't handle it?" asked Mr. Taylor. Earlier Mr. Hallahan had proposed that all the munici- palities which are members d the fire committee get bgether to discuss the pro. poral. Mr. Currie said that another meeting of the fire committee could be held before Christmas to get feedback from the town- ships. Mr. LeVan added that if everything went well, there 'multi be agreement in prin. cipk by the first of January. Then plans could be drafted, lenders could perhaps be let in February or March and the ground broken in the spring. in related business, Conn- dilor Fred Meier was ap- pointed to assume Mr. Tay- lor's position on the fire aoeamittee, because Mr. Meier did not belong to any mornmtttees, and Mr. Taylor belonged to two.

When travelling with a parent and coming across three Santas in one afternoon there surely must be many questions that tumble through their minds. The Santa who handed out goodies in Blyth Saturday afternoon was not the same as the one who handed out goodies in Auburn Monday night. And for the more observant older youngsters it was quite apparent that someone has been putting something over on them for years. Santa is so busy this time of year that he just can't accommodate all the wishes of parents that he visit with their children, so he recruits helpers from all walks of life to represent him physically at these various events. Santa is with all of us in spirit and that is why to divulge the names of his helpers would somehow take away from the sparkle and magic that is Christmas. It is the unknown factor at Christmas time that adds to the splendor of the season and heightens excitement in both old and young alike. Merry Christmas MEL Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulstan Dear Santa . Dear Santa Claus Well Santa, it's that time of year again and everybody is asking you for something to make their Christmas happy so I'm writing to ask you to make a whole country happy with but one gift. You see Santa, I don't know if you've been listening to the CBC Northern Service lately but it seems we'll be looking for a new Prime Minister in the nest little while. The Progressive Conservatives are trying to decide who will be the first to plunge a knife into the back of their leader so they can get on with the job of finding a new saviour for their party and the country. Our illustrious. near -permanent Prime Minister is also hinting that he might be ready to quit. Now although for many Canadians that in itself would be the best Christmas present they could wish for, it would leave us in the position of looking for a replacement and Justin, and the boys just aren't old enough to succeed to the throne yet. So dear Santa, if you could look around and deliver us a new leader to take this country out of the wilderness it would be much appreciated. I'll leave the choice up to you but I've provided a few hints u to what would be the necessary requirements to make every- body happy with their leader. Santa, tiie man we need (whoops. -or woman) must be a person of vision, someone who can see what must be done in the country and will go ahead and do it no matter what the polls say, no matter how unpopular the move is. We all agree that we have a lack of vision at the top. And Santa, the leader must be someone with a finely tuned ear to the people's wants, a real democrat. Everybody agrees they don't want one of these leaden that runs off following some foolish dream when the people want to go in another direction. Our new leader, Santa, needs to be a person who is scrupulously honest, not just in the fact hear she won't dip into the till, but in what he or she says. We're tired of these mamby pambies who only say things they think will win them votes. But Santa we're all fed up with leaders like our current one who say things that get people upset, like those statements about British Columbia lately. We need a leader who wilt only say non -controversial things. things that make people happy. Our new leader should be somebody who listens to our pleas to get governments off our backs. We need someone who will get back to the good old days when government wont' so big. Our new leader should be somebody who listens to us when we demand action to protect us from abuses, that gives us laws to protect us from unscrupulous businessmen, loans and subsidies to help keep our businesses and our farms out of trouble and provides cheap mortgages for those of us trying to buy homes or keep the ones we've got. We need a leader to cut government spending. Every single one of us realizes the government is taking too much from us in taxes. We need a leader like the one down yonder in the U.S. who is going to cut taxes, not raise them. We could model our leader too on that guy down in Washington because most of us agree it's time to stop being a nation of wimps and put some backbone in the armed forces. To the editor: a 1 a We need a leader who will give incentives to peopk to go out and get the country moving again. Take off the burden of heavy bureaucracy and taxes and those of us who have money will rush out and try to make more and in doing so, they'll create jobs and wealth for the rest of us. That's what the economists (well some of them) tell us. This leader we've had has been too much of a pacifist. We need somebody who will put those Rubes in their place and isn't afraid to spend a few billion to make sure we have the weapons to do it. Conscription might be nice too. Of course this is the time of year when we all ask for peace Santa and so we would need for our leader someone who will want to keep his country at peace. who will work hard in the United Nations and elsewhere to make sure peace comes to the world. Of course somebody has to pay for the things we need from government and the poor and the middle class can't afford to pay a cent more so we need a leader who's not afraid to sock it to the rich. You can hardly expect that when you've Rota millionaire Prime Minister like we've got. That's what the economists (well some of them) tell us. We need a leader who will make Canada a strong, united country. We need a leader who will put an end to the petty bkkering between regions and pro- vinces and Ottawa. If the provinces want more power, then given it to them. Now Santa, 1 know this is a tall order. You might think we came to the wrong de- partment for Christmas. You might think that what we need is a repeat of the miter* that started this whole holiday. 1 don't think it would do much good to go higher up however. Remember the last leader he sent to ns, we crucified. Santa's in town Our nuclear industry There are many Canadians who are very concerned about our nuclear industry and its failure to find a solution to many of its probkms. Searching, but failing to find a safe method of nuclear waste disposal, our government continues to pile up more and more millions allow of this almost - forever poison. What are they doing? Or do they know what they're doing? -Serious accidents are blamed on "the human factor". -Radio -active waste is spilled into our drinking water. -Old Mother Earth breathes nuclear dust. There are many who want to have a conscience -clear answer when the next veneration asks "Did you try to stop the nudear mess that we nave inherited?"

Grade 4, 5, 6 Essays: Michelle Cronin, Dan McDougal and Michelle Aitcheson What a poppy means to me ESSAY BY MICHELLE CRONiN, GRADE 6 After World War One the poppy became the smybol of the tragedy of war and a renewal of life. A poppy was used because in France they bloomed in the battlefields around the graves of the soldiers. A poppy reminds me of the people who went and fought . I know there wu a war because people have told me about it. The war does not mean too much to me because it was so far away and so long ago. !don't have any relatives who were in the war or can tell me about the war. 1 think about the war the first day of November every year. The most I think of the war is the eleventh of November because that was the month and day it was over. Most kids my age heard about the war when our teacher read us poems or showed us slides. films and filmstrips. From listening to our teachers, we know that thousands of men and ladies died for our freedom to live where we want and do what we want to such as go to school and jobs. When I see people selling poppies I buy one and wear it. The red colour reminds me of blood from the soldiers wounded and the flowers reminds me of the flowers around the graves in the battle fields in France. Some of the soldiers live in Veterans hospitals because they were seriously hurt. The money from the poppies I buy helps these men in some way. To me a poppy has so much meaning. What do we have to remember? ESSAY BY JEFF s PYEL, GLADE $ We have to r erneniber the men who went to war, fought, were wounded and died just so we, as Canadians, could be free today. Not Daly men died but there were many women nurses in hospital camps who also gave their lives for as. We as children think only adults were involved in the war but many children were also killed in air raids and other such attacks oe towns and villages. November IIth of each year is set aside for these courageous people who died for us. These services bring forth many veterans who remember the gruesome war years. Many men had an arm or kg blown off in the war and now live in War Veterans Homes. There are many memorial services at which we take a two minute silence to remember the war heroes. Wreaths are laid in honour of loved ones who gave their lives. Every where you look you see poppies on peoples jackets to commemorate the fact that many poppies grow in Flanders fidds where many battles were fought. To me, when I see a poppy , the red reminds me d blood from the war, where u green signifies our life at the end of the war . Many men died at the battle olDkppe and an astonishing figure of one In every three airmen or pilots, out of 50,000 died in action. 1 am sure that if you ask any veteran of the war, what they thought about it they would say that war is something to be remembered not something to be repeated.

Assuming the position of president is William Gibbings who was unable to attend the meeting. QUEST SPEAKER — Doug Jamieson, principal of Centralia College was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Huron County Holstein Club held at the Brussels Legion last Tuesday. THE BLYTH STANDARD, DECEMBER 18, 1981 — A5 Holstein group elects Officers for 1982 were elected at the annual meet- ing of the Huron County Holstein Club held in the Brussels Legion on Tuesday. The new president is Wil. ham Gibbings, the immed- iate past -president is Stuart Seeckk; first vice•president, Wilbert Freeman; second vice-president, Keith Johr- stton; and secretary -treasur- er, Don Watson. Directors for South Huron are Dave Marshall, Gknn Hodgins, Ken Flanagan; for North East Huron they are Murray Donaldson. Elwood Seili and Tim McKague; for Central Huron, Murray Howatt, Keith VanCamp and Jim McGee, and for West Huron they are Joe VanOsch, Ken Ramsay and Al Feddes. Guest speaker at the meet- ing was Doug Jamieson, principal of Centralia College who talked about programs and activities at the school at Huron Park. He said during the years the college has enjoyed tre- mendous support from Huron County and neigh- bouring counties. "Centralia College does not have a college farm as such, but we've got along reasonably well up to this point," he said. "We've pone it with the support of local farmers. In 1969 we contacted kcal fanners to see if we could have a group of students go out to the farm on a regular basis. He said the students stet involved keeping record books on that operation, the breeding programs, the feed- ing programs and the differ- ent aspects of what makes that farm run. "We have continued to run it in basically the same format since 1969. We think there is no better way to teach practical management of farms than to have our students out watching," he said. "We like our students to be exposed to and involved with the real world as much as possible when studying for their diploma," he said. He said they also believe it was important to have practi- cal people providing practical instruction, such as those in agri-business, bankers, law- yers and farm equipment dealers. "Our philosophy is people helping people, the older generation passing along its knowkdge to the upcoming generation. "We hope that we can give something of value back to the community. Our biggest return to the community is graduates of our program. „Another way ot trying to help the community is through our continuing edu- cation program, so farmers can improve their manage- ment skills. He mentioned there were two or three new develop- ments, one of which is for the B1LD program which will provide a SS0,000 or S60,000 allotment over the next four years to Centralia Colkge to acquire high technology equipment. The principal said by next fall the school hopes to have cwurses in place so that all of their students will receive training on micro -computer. kcincmhci t1 takrs hut a tnut.k /it too Itl.tcc .t Standard Want Ad Dt.11 f+?.i.tkt~Ih.

Wawanosh gives pay Wingham Advance Township employees in East Wawanosh were grant - od a sizable increase in pay for 1982 by council at a meeting held last Wednes- day. Clerk -Treasurer Winona Thompson received the most significant increase, to S19.000 a year in 1982 from 515,000 this year, Mrs. Thompson told crun• ctl members she was seeking parity with clerk• treasurers in neighboring municipalities. many of hOM. she farmed, make 520.000 a year and more. The job's responsibility Iasts 24 hours a day, she said. She spends three days a week at the office. but she often works at home and is tolled there by ratepayers to answer their questions. Reeve Simon Hallahan said, "I support you. but I carry the responsibility of the ratepayers." "The roads get equal pay. Why can't I?" Mrs. Thump - son replied. "Just because you started km.; you're supposed to stay kiss all your life?" Following some discus- sion, council members de• tided to grant Mrs. Thome• son a salary of S19.000 a year. plus a 51,000 car allowance and the township also will pay her 01 -IIP premiums. John McClinchev, a town- ship grader operator, went to 58.60 an hour from 57.72. Mr. McClinchev told coun- cil members that he had spoken to a county grader operator who was receiving 58.65 an hour, and Mr. Mc.

Township Road Superin- tendent Ralph Campbell re. parted that the township's three extra u inter roadmen. Allan McBurney, Murray Vincent and Jim Scott, were &,satisfied and wanted to be assured of a monthly income. Re said they hoped to be assured of a minimum wage of 5500 a month for the months of December, Jan- uary, February and March. Last winter was average, Mr. Campbell said, and each man made approximately 5450 to 5500 a month. But, a mild winter could severely Emit their earnings. After some discussion, council members decided to grant a minimum of 5500 a month to snowplow operators from Dec 15 to March. 15. Wages to councillors will remain at 51,000 and the reeve will receive the same amount. 51,200 in 1982 as well. But the rate for special daytime meeting went to S35 from 525. In other business, Gary Thacker attended the meet- ing to see if he could persuade council to hold the bills for the engineer's report on the Thacker Drain for another month until he de- cides whether or not he is going to call in a drainage referee. The report on the Thacker Drain, which had been under consideration for the past two years, was turned down at a meeting of the affected landowners last Monday evening at the township shed. Mr. Hallahan told Mr. Thacker that council had already decided, earlier in the meeting. to send out the billings for the engineer's report.

His portion of the 513,500 report is over 53,000, which is the largest assessment. Mr. Thacker told council members that paying 113,500 to Gamsby and Man• nerow for an engineer's report is "ridiculous". "There's no way I'm going to pay that much levy," he said. "I asked for one thing, an outlet, and I intend to get it," he added. The engineer's report was turned down at Monday's meeting, Mr. Hallahan said. Therefore, an entirely new report must be started. Mr. Thacker said he has acquired a new lawyer and said he needs a month to consult with him about bring- ing in a drainage tribunal and reviewing the assess. ment. But council members would not change their posit- ion on sending out the bills. They said the matter was increases over and done. "I wanted an outlet. I didn't want an engineer; just a preliminary report."

A large congregation parti- cipated with the Sunday School, December 13 when White Gift Sunday was cele- brated in Knox United Church. A children's choir rendered the anthem '"Child- ren Go." Paul Coultes and Kather- ine Procter were in charge of the Christmas scripture read- ings. The White Envelope contributions, which support a foster child in Bali. Indone- sia, were collected in two white baskets by Donna Hig- gins and Robert Gordon. George ,.Procter, superin- ten den , gave a short address relating information concern- ing the child "Sims." Approximately two hun- dred and seventy dollars is required annually for the boy's support. For eight years Sinta has recieved the White Gift donations from the Sunday School. The children of the choir and toddlers of the congrega- tion occupied the centre front seats while Rev. John G. Roberts told the story of "Jim and Della". Long ago the couple, who had very little money, lived in a city apart- ment. As the first Christmas of their married lives approach- ed, the partners wished to exchange gifts. Della's only proud possession was her long tresses. These, she willingly had cut and sold to obtain money, while Jim's sole possession was an heir- loom pocket watch. Della spent the receipts from her sale to purchase a chain for Jim's watch. Jim bartered his watch to obtain two bejewell- ed combs with which to adorn Della's hair. The moral of the story is "Love is more important than gifts to give always costs us something." Each giver must be personally involved.

Farmers must organize, Gaunt BY STEPHANIE LEYESQUE The 1980s and 1990: are the decades of the market place, former MPP Murray Gaunt of Wingham told the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. Speaking at the December meeting in Blyth Mr. Gaunt said farmers have to orga- nize, especially in the pro- duction of red meat. Mr. Gaunt wu a member of the OFA's icy task force and he talked about some of his impressions he received from sitting on it. He said the 1960s and 70s were geared to production and improving efficiency. Farmers have been too busy producing while others are reaping the benefits. He referred to an 1878 federal policy, which stressed the importance of industry. Mr. Gaunt said nothing in production touches the amount of production time Canadian farmers put in. Mr. Gaunt said farmers are not supported by those who should be supporting them. He indicated the 1981 Ontario budget hu only 1.2 per cent devoted to agriculture. He compared this to countries in , Europe which devote 75 per BAKERY ITEMS Lewis Soft Twist White BREAD 24 oz. loaf .59 Westons Brown'n Serve ROLLS 12's Reg. .99 for .69 Westons Rasp. or Choc.

The children took part in a great many presentations and Blyth was treated to the sight of its young people having fun. The workshop was an eight week session from June 7.1 -Aug. 14, June 30 -July 21 had a mo -ring group of children 5-8 and the afternoon group aged 9 to 12. The last 3 who were for the oldest group aged 13-18. 55 children registered. We looked forward to the challenge. The group was called "Second Stage" and we had our own tee-shirts. About 16 were in the youngest group. meeting at 9a.m to 12 noon. These children learned songs, games. made their own puppets, and performed short. stories with the puppets. These youngsters ai a 5.8 also produced other productions "Cro% aod the Corn' and 6little plays -all from "laid Pla:s of Little People."' The children did nuts of the sets and costumes with some donations. The shows went on. in spite of having to switch parrs and fill in when some children dropped out The% were ambitious programs, well received h: the audience, l he 9 to 12 yr olds met in the afternoon 1 p r:i. Attendance fluctuated from 12 to 24 We ie.trned more advance theatre games arc' songs, but the large number involved soretimes hamperered our efforts. This gro:ip also worked with puppets in 11 seraratc scenes, each written he the hildren In groups of 2 or 1. The: also to..4, to the street with "Silent Stors Theatre" which inEludcd sinks mime and slapstick ct need% This as •tcw rrpericntir for the hildren And !`u town. Black box theatre called "Magic Puppets" was even taken to Goderich library. The next week their final production was "Free to be -You and Me". a cabaret style show, rehearsing intently, building the set, collecting costumes and props. The children learned how to put a show together. 3 performances played to standing room only and the audience remarked on how professional it was. The 3rd group (13-18 yrs) was smaller. but it was difficult to work with this group who had jobs and vacations. Everyone involved was proud to see these kids start from scratch, writing and producing 2 plays on their own, "Mystery in the Stairs" went to Kitchener and was taped for The Tree House to be shown in the fall. The last play of the summer was "A Place To Roost." 1 he theatre shop assisted, but the children learned to design. construct. paint and set up each set. Advertising meant making and distributing posters and notices media. We think we accomplished our aim involving the 3 groups in all aspects of production We thank Blyth and Walton schools for equipment and the support of Blyth Theatre and Blyth residents, This has been a condensed report of a buss. successful summer. The local children thank Marni Walsh and Leslie Anne Bentley for their total involvement and leadership of this unique learning experience The Hlrth (,entre for the Arts is Also proud of this endeavour in news Huronview people enjoy CNIB party Mr. Jim Ruddock, Mrs. Minnie Fowler, and Mrs. Edna Cantelon were among those who attended the C,N.1.B.
