CECIL WITTICH BLYTH UNITED A certain girl was having difficulty believing in . God, She went to a minister who was well known for his ability to lead people into a living faith. After a number of counselling sessions with the minister, the girl seemed to be no further. ahead , in her quest for faith. However, she continued to meet . with the minister who was being very patient. Finally, the minister came to the point where he realized thatthere; were per- haps "a couple of things that were preventing the girl from believing.; One was that she held a resentmentbecause of some unfortunate incident in the past and, secondly, she has not forgiven her sister of something that had happen- ed. The minister suggested that she give up her resent- ment ` and that she go and forgive her sister. The girl. followed the minister's 'ad - •4I .11• 1 e 1 i11uiiii11 1nl, II 11111 111 1111 , 11116 W.111.111lal.II "1,111,1IiII *1 I 1.,I. 11 m11 ilal3ur:�S:"'/wbu 1 / Niel/ 1''' Henry rothers :arpentry Quality Workmanship Guaranteed R. R. 1, Auburn 523-9328 ave vice and to her astonishment faith began to become real to her once again. The Bible says, "Love believes all things" (1 Cor- inthians 13;7) I do not think that that means ` we are to believe -everything we hear and ' read. The Bible also warns us about , false teach- ings which we are not to believe." But it seems to' me that our verse means that love believes all things that are true. We say that God is true or the truth. (John '14:6) Therefore, as we love and learn to love, believing in God becomes possible. It is also true that believing does not depend on our ability to love. Our believing depends : on God's grace and our ability to love depends on God's love for us. "We love, because he fitst loved us:" (1 John 4:19) If we find belief in God hard Ongsla Optician to accept then We should look at our lives and relationships in terms of love,: Have we forgiven everyone of every- thing? Are we holding resent- ments against others? Do we seek to get revenge? The minister, in our story of the, 'girl, writes, "If you are A congregation of over 60 braved the weather on Sun-. day morning to worship at Blyth United Church.

Mr. Wittich spoke on the 3rd Commandment. Anyone who takes the Lord's name in vain, owes Him' -an -apology and has no respect for Him. It's not healthy, even if it makes you feel better. Even if a person doesn't say the word, it's still just as wrong if the urge is there to say it. Mr. Wittich went on to point out how one can be looking for ` God and tried many ways and found no sense of reality, may it not be that, at some point, your relationships are wrong.`" "Love believes all things," The McKillop Unit of the Walton U.C.W. held it's January meeting at the home of Mrs. Don Dennis, with seven members present.

You may also know the Americans are just now beginning to realize the effects of acid rain, on their own environment in the New England states. We have friends in Parry Sound where the issue of acid rain is far more on their minds , than on ours.' When we, visited them on in ovember they noted that, yea, there are a few dead lakes in their area. There is no aquatic life and the acid kills off everything leaving the lake dying and filling with algae. Now I am not a fisherman but ,have enjoyed dropping a line or two over the creek side to try my luck and can well appreciate what the loss of aquatic life in our lakes means. Ask any biology stu= dents how valuable these lakes are, not just to their own locality but to the whole eco -system of the province. But never fear, our elected representatives are busy waging war.

This will allow both scien- tists and the public to see just how much work has been done ' on this important matter.. And that is not all. Ontario has filed interventions on plants that have asked for a relaxing ,of the tight regula- tions demanding plants reduce their polluting . emis- sions. Some of the plants are in the United States and when .the ruling is handed down it will be clear as to where the American government stands on ridding our countries of this major pollution problem. But the Ontario govern- ment Lis not the white knight that we are being led to believe, Oh no, Ontario hydro is pushing for a major power line to the US from their coal generating station in South- western Ontario. The in- crease in the coal ` plant's, production of energy would also increase the amount of sulphur emissions that cause acid rain. it has also been rumoured that the coal to supply the '` plant will' be bought from the Americans. Consider: the ironies of the whole situation. Here we are on one hand demanding that the government clean up their acts 'and enforce strict pollution control laws while on the other hand they are encouraging a big source of polluta is to gear up for greater oluine of work. .The other irony is that we are in Ontario: muddling up our envionment with': emis- sions made from American coal for American power sources. It makes you want to leave the .country. Granted the . big trouble makers in this case against acid rain are the companies and in most cases they have been cutting their emissions (notas much as the govern- ment or environmentalists would like but it is a step in the right direction). But while the government a' tries to getout of this problem . gracefully; the average tax- payer' who pays' for this'. nonsense show can only stand by and watch until election time. But then ifa new party were voted in would the power go to their head and cause them - to believe that what they know is right and 'just, and the people that voted for them 'are.' merely that, voters, not to be taken seriously after the race for power is over?

The federal Farm Credit Corporation released figures last week indicating that Canadian farmers; both large and small, on the average were worth $441,000 while the average Canadian -Family (in -1977) had a net worth of slightlymore than $46,000 .... Assuming that, the average farmer is five times wealthier thanthe average Canadian family. Here the adage of comparing apples and oranges fits quite nicely. For the past five or even ten years accountants have been haranguing farmers to do more book work, to keep records and spend a little more time in the office rather than the barn. Why? Because farms area business and.should be run as such. Some of the dilemna caused lately by high interest rates has been put on the fact that some just -don't like to spendltie time on the -books and records, keeping tabs of the past and forecasting the future. But backto worth. Comparing families to businesses is a bit absurd. Theieds_should...be looking at comparing farming with small businesses. withthe same or similiar equity and debt load. While farmers,like the rest ofus are fighting household battles over high inte"i"est rates and high cost of,living, they now have to listen to calls of .. rich farmerswhen theyare scrambling just as hard as the rest of us. 91 It . is up to'. the public reading such reports to be aware P or the .comparisons -and -do a -little- reading-between-the-IInes. It's been just over a year now &nce Ronald Reagan took office as president of the United States, an office won on the strength of a promise to return his country to the greatness it once held. In one way at least he seems to be succeeding. While promises an's of a balanced budget, of a resurgence of good times because. of `getting government off the backs of the: people" have proved illusionary, while people -hit by layoffs and by cutbacks in the social benefits designed to help them through tough times such as unemployment have turned against Reagan ', for his domestic policy, reviews of his first year in office show that Americans still agree with Ronald. Reagan on one thing: his foreign. policy., With the comeback in popularity of the woodstoves there has been an increase of chimney fires through out the county, indeed through out the whole province. Problems arise from familiesheating their homes with wood and not understanding the process thatis going on in their stoves. Green wood and burning paper and garbage are two culprits that help cause a build up of . creosote and soot in the chimney. The creosote when overheated burns and overheats the chimney` and that in turn overheats the walls around it and then -you have- a full-scale- house fire -on -your hands...-- . Chmney cleaning should be done at least twice a seasonand attention should be paid. to , just what is being burned. Another detail to consider while sitting cosily by your wood heater is to contemplate how long the wood supplies will last if everyone is resorting to wood burning to heat their homes. In case no .one has noticed, the wood lots on the farms arebeing cleaned out for agricultural development and reforestation does take a little time.

As ' a candidate, Reagan promised that "The era of self-doubt is over. We can't be stampeded now by frustration or fear. We have to stay on a steady : course." As president he has set, out. to carry out that policy. If harsh words will win back American greatness, then Americans are well on the way back to being the unquestioned power of the world. DESTINY To define the kind of greatness Mr. Reagan chooses (and the American; people support), one has to look at all the great and powerful. nations over the years. The greatness seems. to come, even more than from physical and human resources, from a feeling of destiny, a feeling that the whole world is something that has been set up for their benefit. While they may talk about "justice and "fairness" and "equality", all the great nations of the world have really lived by one rule: might is right.' Might was right for Britain when it was spreading colonies around the world, in an empire the like of which has never been "seen before or since. Germany, France, ` Spain, even Holland, have had their turn at riding` roughshod over people of other lands in the name of greatness for their homeland. Rome did it 2000 years ago. Russia does it today in Eastern. Europe. The United States has had a .messianic drive for greatness since its earliest days although ' it is only in this century that the world has come to recognize the power of this 'giant. '"Devine Destiny" was the rallying cry that sent American settlers across the continent, that send American armies twice into Canada to "free" Canadians from British oppression. It created the Munroe Doctrine that the Western hemisphere was' the jurisdiction of the United States and put the power of the U.S. army behind businessmen to set up banana republics in central and south America. WE WONDER Compare this attitude with Canada where, after Sir John A. MacDonald's drive spread Canada from sea to sea withing the first 20 years of the country's birth, Canadians have -neew�er escaped "the era of self-doubt". While they►erican people have the self confidence that :wh t is ri art for America; is right for the gg world, Canadians have always wondered if they were really doing the right thing. Our businessmen have been timid compared to, the Americans, Our politicians have been cautious about making the "right" decision on any diplomatic move while with the, American government and decision a U.S. president makes automatically becomes the right decision. This attitude of self-confidence goes through all aspects in' life. What other country in the world, for instance, would have the nerve to crown a "world champion" as the ' Americans did on ' Sunday in the Su erbowl When n o 1 n y Americans playfor the trophy in the first place? , Even when we Canadians win a real world championship we immediately start downgrading ourselves by thinkingI t�hat the championship didn't really matter to anyone else but us or perhaps tha the competition: had an off day. 1, It is left to the weak, the insecure, to talk about the need for justice in the world. The strong mayappear hypocritical to the weak, , the soul -searchers, but they can play by their own rules. Reagan ; must ' surely see • the hypocrisy of his hectoring about lack of civil rights in Poland while he does nothing to try to force his own allies like Chile, Argentina, Pakistan or El Salvador to . give the same human right he promotes to Poland. He just doesn't care. Jimmy Carter worried about such things and was thought weak. Ronald Reagan doesn't let such self-doubts enter his head. Similarly in dealing with Canada, Reagan and his supporters can work themselves into a lather or self-righteous indignation over our "discrimination" in trying to regain control of our nation.A Jimmy Carter might see the justice of Canadians wanting to control their country in the way Americans do theirs but Reagan supporters see Canada, like so many other counts s as destined to provide American. businessmen with rich profits, to support the American lifestyle at home and the American army abroad. They have no self-doubt; Canadians are wrong in trying to own their own country. There is true bewilderment on the part of Americans that there is resistance on the part of American allies to jump into step with whatever Washington wants.There is anger that West Germany, France and other European allies don't follow right along with policies set by Reagan. The problem for Mr. Reagan and for those' that dream of an • America that rules the world again is that greatness may be hard to reclaim. Editor's Note: This article appeared in ,.the Goderich Signal Star last week and serves as a warning to young- sters everywhere. BY JOANNE BUCHANAN The kids call it bumper riding. The police and people like Bill Hull call it danger - o... Hull, an employee of the. Pollution Control plant in Goderich, was driving home -:.-. from _work last:__Thursday.. about 5:15 p.m. when he saw a group of 11 and 12 -year-olds hanging around the corner of. MacDonald and Blake Streets. They were partially blocking the road so he drove by them slowly. When he arrived at. his home in Blyth, he backed his truck into his driveway and ,,,,truck alked around by the rear bumper to go into his house. That's when he saw a boy's red and blue glove caught on his bumper: He says he didn't under- stand how it could 'have gotten there until he read Police Chief Pat King's warn- ing in the Signal -Star to kids who like to ride bumpers. Bumper riding is a danger- ous stunt in which kids grab onto the rear bumpers of vehicles and let themselves be towed along the snow and ice. They give little thought to the fact that they could lose their balance, slide under the wheels and be run over. Or to the fact that their clothing, such as a glove, scarf or coat; could get caught thus dragg- ing them along the road and causing them serious injury. Hull says whoever was wearing the glove which caught on his , bumper, was lucky it came off. If ithad been a coat which wouldn't come loose, he says he might have draggedsome kid hun- .. dreds of yards without even knowing it. Maybe. the next bumper rider won't be so lucky. Oh, and by the way, the boy who lost the glove, can pick it upat the Signal -Star office. LOOK AT ALL THE SWEETS —.Youngsters at Blyth. Public School enjoy: not only hot dogs on Hot Dog Day but a wide selection of homemade cookies, squares, tarts and brownies. Like every other red-blooded malein: this country over the age of four, I am an expert on hockey. As a player, I didn't exactly make it to the. NHL. Or Senior A. Or Junior A. Or Junior B Or Juvenile C. -But you don't have to make it all the way in_ Canada to become a connoisseur off the game. All you have to do is to have been exposed' to the game since you were about three, and it's in your blood for life. As a kid, I felt culturally deprived because`I didn't have a pair of "tube" skates. To my great shame, I had to indulge in the sport wearing an old p air of my mother's "lady's skates" (pronounced with utter scorn by the kids with tube skates.) Mine went almost to the knee and supported your ankles like a bag of marshmallows. Obviously, that is the sole reason .I didn't make it to the big leagues. As a kid, I played skinny on the riser with some guys who actually, later, did make it to -pro or -semi -pro ranks, When -1 was in high school, some of my best friends were playing Junior A. I was brought ;'up in a rabid hockey and lacrosse town. When I was a little boy, we had a Senior hockey team. It was made up of local. factory hands, blacksmiths (yes, I. go back that far), and generally good athletes, of no' particular rank or station in life.: ,, They played for fun. They bought their own equipment. There' was tremendous rivalry; with the other towns in the country. The rink was jammed for every game. We kids sneaked into the games through the place where they threw out the snow after clearing the ice, squirmed our way down behind the player's bench, and fought each other to the bone where a senior broke a stick, and with a lordly' gesture, handed it back toward us. If you . were lucky, you -got two pieces of hockey stick, took ~it .home and had your old man splint it, taped it up, and played the rest of the season with ,a six-foot man's hockey stick practically tearing the armpit out of your five-foot frame. When I was teenager, the home town went ape over hockey, began importing players, and iced a Junior A club. We local high school guys were devastated by Jealousy when the imports, from such exotic towns as Ottawa, Montreal, Brockville, came to town and stole our girls away. We locals didn't have a chance. It was Depression times. We were lucky if we had the money to go to the Saturday night movie (two bits), let alone take along a girl and feed her afterwards. But the hockey imports had everything. Flashy uniforms. Great physiques. The roar of the crowd. And money. They got about $15 a week for room, and board and spending money.;They often had.two orthree_ dollars_ to throw around, so, naturally, they got the girls. (Some of them are still stuck with them, ha, ha.) Ironically, about a third of those guys who made us green with envy would be knocking off eighty-five to a hundred thousand a year if they hadn't been born 40 years too soon. They were good enough to make the so-called NHL today, but not then, when there were so few, teams and so many aspirants. There were only eight teams then: Toronto, Montreal Canadiens, Montreal Maroons, Ottawa Senators, Boston, New York Rangers, New York Americans; Chicago and Detroit. There were probably just as many hopeful players. Today there are 21 or 23or28„teams: in the NHL. Nobody seems able to count them any. more. -Wells figure it out. Tike a quart of whiskey and add a similar amount.of water. Split the remains` in two and add a half of water to each. What doyou get? Not a whiskey with water. A water with a touch of whiskey: And '.that's why so many once -ardent hockey experts like me just don't bother. going to games, or even watching them on TV, unless the Russians are playing, when you see a few flashes of old-time hockey, instead of a group ofhigh-school dropouts high -sticking, slamming each other into the boards, pretending to fight by dancing ring -a -round while carefully clutching each other's sweaters so they won't be hurt, tripping, clutching, hooking, and doing everything but play hockey. Perhaps the most sickening thing of all is the great hugging and kissing and dancing that takes place when one turkey has scored a goal by shooting toward the end of the rink and having the puck go in off a teammate's stick - pure accident. It's O.K. I don't necessarily want to go back to the days when players had some dignity, and didn't have to pat each others' bums ” all the time. Nor do I want ' them reduced to the sort of wage slavery they endured years ago. But please spare me, on the sports pages, from their constant whining, tantrums, hurt feelings, and never-ending interest in the big buck.

Mr. and . Mrs. James L Farmers, on average, are far wealthier than other Can- adians according to a 1981 survey on farm wealth re- leased last week by the federal Farm Credit Corp. The average net worth of all Canadian farmers, large and small, after their debts were taken alto account, was found to be slightly iess than 5441,000 in January 1981. In 1977, the last year for which statistics are available, Statistics Canada determined the average Canadian family had a net worth of slightly more than 546,000. Assuming ;this figure has doubled in four years, which it more than likely has not, the average farmer was still five times wealthier than the average Canadian family last year. There are about 225,000 farmers in Canada and, rela- tive to their worth, the survey found them not deeply in debt. All Canadian farmers have almost six times as "much equity as they .have debt, with 5100 -billion in equity and 517 -billion in debt.` More than half the assets in'. agriculture are controlled by ,the top 30 per cent of Canadian farmers, those with minimum . farm sales of 570,000 a year, who account for the bulk of production in Canadian farming, with an average net worth of slightly more than $778,000. But even smaller farmers are better off than the average family in this country according to the survey. The 30 per cent of farmers with average sales of between $30,000 and 550,000 were worth an average of 5386,000 and the 40 per cent with sales below 530,000 had an average net worth of $216,000. Cash -crop farmers were the best off with average net worth of about $477,000, followed by beef farmers at 5438,000, dairy farmers at 5378,000 and hog farmers tit $278,000. 56 HURON ST., CLINTON (Located beside Murphy's Garage, Hwy. 8w..

The soil is very fertile with irrigation needed for the crops during the' dry periods. The cash crops are coffee, tea, cotton and sugar cane. They grow vegetables, grains andd fruits for food and ___have. cattle, sheep goats -and poultry. The minerals are copper, silver, gold and lime- stone. Since fuel for cars, trucks .and buses is very expensive, much travel is done by bicycle and; on foot. It is estimated that three quarters of the population of Uganda is Chri stian with ° missionaries com- ing there from England ' in 1877. The country gained inde- pendence in 1972 but during' the reign of terror of Presi- dent Ida Amin, many natives lost their lives and much property was destroyed.

Each partner will play a role. What about other role players? Farmers are asking if they need to hire an accountant to help prepare the application for. the 1982 Ontario Farm Adjustment Assistance Program. The short answer is . `no. The longer answer is thatit was originally intended that an accountant would help pre- pare the statementsand meet with the . banker and an OMAF person. This can still happen -but it ; is not manda- tory. -It's obviouslysomething.. the banks would like to see. . __And_ chances __ are _ it--- could- • improve the odds of receiving assistance and good advice during this difficult adjust- ment period. Recently, the manager of agricultural services . said "we're asking farmers who • have a loan of one million dollars to , submit financial • statements that have been --prepared by` •: a chartered accountant. And each year we'll lower the figure until farmers with loans of $100,000 or more submit such • statements, You can find a list 'of accountants in the yellow pages under `Accountants Public". There is an :'old Chinese proverb that says"to 1982 memberships to the association are now available. The cost is $5.00 and can be purchased at the ' Clinton Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food office. Those who attended the Huron Annual Meeting last Novem- ber are already members, and should haie received the first mailout of crep informa- tion and research by now. John Heard, Asst. Agri. Rep. you avoid a 'chain saw injury. J. Heard, Asst. Agri. Rep, • find the . best soil : look for tallest grass". Often the best farm accountants will be those already busy. But then it's usually the busiest people who get results. After April 30th they won't be as busy. If you are a farmer who has a cash flow problem, contact your banker. Ask about the 1982 Ontario Farm Adjust- ment .`Assistance Program (OFAA). If you are eligible he will ask you to complete their bank : forms ` showing your cash flow situation and forms for participation in OFAA. At this point an accountant could be very helpful to assist with'. the plan. The banker and an OMAF person will meet and recommend . an assistance package containing 'one or more of the options available.. It-will-beassist- you make adjustments. And to get you ":through this economic dry spell with at least some cash in your operating account. Staff of the Ministry ; of Agriculture and . Food . are '. willing to provide additional assistance, where necessary, to back up the initiatives of .: the producer and banker. The Agricultural Representatives and. Associate Agricultural Representatives are farm management specialists.

The chain saw is a very important piece of equipment on many farms. It is also a very dangerous look The ,majority of chain saw injuries are caused by kickbacks. To avoid kickbacks, make certain that the nose of the cutting bar is clear of .all obstacles. Operators should hold their saw securely and position their feet properly to counter- act any kickbacks.
