To ensure the unhampered growth of the spring bulbs, 'gardeners rake bushels of dead leaves and weeds from the flower' beds. Last month's ice storm, which left twigs and branches scattered over our lawns, created a bigger clean-up job than usual for this spring. The green grass indicated the lawn mowers will soon be needed. Meanwhile the farmers repair the fences that broke under the pressure of the snowdrifts. They also unload their orders of seed and fertilizer and haul machinery out of the implement sheds - plows, cultivators, disks, harrows, drills, planters- and extra tractors. When all the machines are strewn, over the yard, it's difficult to understand how they could all be stored in one building. I wonder whether such a feat observe spring's effect on Nature.

Most unpaved streets and. graveled roads contain ruts, into which our cars disappear. Getting stuck in the muck is as much a part of spring as listening to the robins sing. As you scrape the mud from your shoes, consider the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: " Tis not in the high stars alone, Not in the ceps of budding flowers, Nor, in the redbreast's mellow tone, . Nor in the bow that smiles in showers, Aut. in ''ffre- mud-and-scam • of things There alvvay, alway something sings," Dr. Tony Miller, ex chief , psychologist 'at Goderich Psychiatric Hospital says taht plans for a $185,000 children's mental health program in Huron County moved a step closer to reality this week and now needs only financila approval from Queen's Park. The. service to chiidre n and adolescents in Huron County was planned after Dr. Gillian Dougherty of the children's mental health services in the ministry of health advised staff at GP1'L that $185,000 had been earmarked in the child and adolescent service to establish such a program in the Goderich area. The service is primarily designed to provide diagnostic services for children from infancy. to 19 years of age in Huron unty. The committee plans to consult closely with organizations already dealing with the age group to attempt to add to their programs and prevent a duplication of services. Some of the needs for a mental health service are counselling services for both children and parents, special education facili- ties for children and specific learning disabilities, educational programs for child workers to enable 'them to recognize problems and provide some input into their diagnosis, group horries for children and shelter for children in emergency situations or crisis. The administrative problems faced by, the steering committee begin with the establishment of a legal board to handle the paperwork' involved in the program. They re also concerned with the location of their services, staffing patterns, space McKillop Correspondent, Mrs. Ed Regele On March 30, a euchre, game 'Was held at Family' Paradise with winners being: Ladies High - Jean White; Ladies Lone Hand Marjorie Rock; Ladies Low - Sharon McClure; Men's High - Danny Holmes; Men' s lone Hand - • Les Glanville; Men's Low - Clarence White.

The program is entirely new to the county and according to Dr. Miller is the result of the GPH closing. He said the staff of GPH was • working toward a ' community based service explaining, that this program was both good and bad for mental health. He said the closing of the hospital removed any active treatment services in the community denying the children the opportunity to remain in their community if they need hospital care. he added, however, that the move into the public forum in community treatment was a step forward. The steering committee hopes to expand their membership in the future trying to attain a better balance between professionals and • layment. they are also 'seeking ideas from the community on how to provide mental health 'services for children and are seeking public support.

Odds n' Ends by Elaine Townshend Spring things What pops into your mina when you think of spring? Robins and daffodils? Or, rain and mud? The days are longer now, and each morning the songs of the birds sound louder, contrasting the silence of the winter dawns. Robins, wrens, blackbirds and a few bluebirds' gather twigs for their nests. Shoots of new grass sprout through out matted lawns, while crocuses, snowdrops, tulips, daffodils and hyacinth colour our flower beds. inside bouquets of pussy willows decorate our tables. The tiny buds the tree branches remind is the cherry and apple blossoms will soon bloom and leaves will cover all the trees. Children exchange their. skates, for baseball bats, skipping ropes and bikes. Jackets and running shoes, replace bulky coats and boots and encourage mothers to send the children outside to play more often. An arrangement that usually pleases both parties. Unfortunately, few adults are as carefree as the children, and we have little time to vacation. For homemakers, spring means house- cleaning time. Dusty curtains come down, sometimes falling on our heads; clothes- lineg sag under the weight of sopping blankets, and mops occasionally knock over pails of dirty water on floors that have just been scrubbed. The contents of junk drawers is sorted and inevitably stuffed back in. Although the sunshine brings cheer, it also' draws attention to our dirty windows. Most men complain as much about removing the storms,. as they did about putting them on fast falL Hockey play-offk and the beginning of the baseball season Joyce is the daughter of Mrs. Adeline Diegel and the late Martin Diegel.
