Anniversary greetings to Mr.
and Mrs. Lorne Nichol, Brusselso
who celebrated their' 62nd Wed-
ding Anniversary on October 21.
There was a quiet family celebra-
. tion in the Home including Lorne
' Nichol and son Ross of Brussels.
Mrs. Nichol has been a resident
of Kilbarchan for some time,
Harold Barry left for Victoria,
B.C. last week where 'he will
spend the winter. Last year he
spent most of the winter at
"Schadeview" which proved to
be a difficult and memorable
experience, owing to the lack of
hydro when most of the poles
were toppled south to Grand
Bend.
Anniversaries, of note have
been common this October and
mostly notable for the number of
Years. My anniversary is quite
different., It hardly calls for a
celebration.
On, Oct. 18, I had been at
Kilbarchan twelve years. I can't
help but think back over these
years. I just had to learn to accept
the inevitable as gracefully as I
could and without question.
People have made this possible
for me from the staff here and
friends who have been so kind
and understanding.
It has all been an education in a
different way and one which I
have reason to be glad of. When a
person is well and able to be
about, they think "It couldn't
happen to me" but it does
'happen.

The seminar featured. guest
speaker Dr. Robert Bates,
trician director an,d head Of 'the
Child Abuse.Team at the. Hospital
'for Sick Children, • Toronto and
centered. on -the, responSibility
professional people in the revert,
tion of Child abuse and neglect
and the establishment of a 'high
calibre of interaction botyveen
agencies in child, abuse -cases.
Children's Aid Director Bruce
Heath explained that there is a
high calibre of co-operation
among the agencies and schools
dealing with child abuse but there
still exist gaps from one system to
another than should be elosed. He
added that in dealing with the
cases the relations should be with
people and not groups.
Discussion centered on the
responsibility, of the individual to
report possible child. abuse cases
'to the CAS. Dr.. Bates said that if'
a doctor neglects to report a child
abuse case there still exists -the
responsibility among the nursing,
staff to report it to the nursing
supervisor. Heath said that ..the
hospitals in Huron County have
-no formal procedure for the
reporting and 'follow up of child
abuse cases.
Dr. Bruce Thomson said that
doctors follow a, code of ethics and
have a contract with each patient
and must respect that contract.
,,,He added that the seminar was
beneficial in bringing
professional .people and agencies
together and he hoped it would
foster more involvement among'.
the agencies and improve the,
correspondence between them.
He added that communication
between agencies was a big factor
and that doctors would not
co-operate . with agencies that
abused patients. Numerous bad
experiences with agencies led to

CAS family service co-ordinator
Esther Ross claimed that most
people are simply afraid to report
a child abuse case to the CAS or
other agencies because of their
possible future involvement.
"People hold the CAS .as a
possible threat hut, we are not as
terrible as everyone thinks;" she
said. "At times I feel like a
dragon with a big heart and no
one knows it."
A representative of' the public
health nurses said that if they
were called to investigate- a
possible ,child abuse case they
were unable to testify in court and
'present potential key evidence. In
such instances the public health
nurses were at fault in their
incapability to provide evidence.
Heath said that because of this
and other instances in which
people are afraid to get involved it
will be necessary to use subpoe-
nas. He added that although the
agency, was almost forced to
begin issuing them they would be
used with discretion and only
when necessary.
CAS solicitor, Norm Pickell,
supported Heath's statements
saying that if the evidence was
vital to a case then there existed
no alternative but to subpoena
witnesses.
"Subpoenas will have to be
used in other isolated cases if an
employer requires proof of an
employee's involvement," he
said. "We should have an
interaction and a faith between
groups dealing with .a.:, case
because we will get into trouble if
we rely on the legal realms."
John Siertsema, principal of
McCurdy Public School, said that
teachers were in a difficult
position since they were not
qualified to cotriment on a case or
give evidence on the medical
