GODERICH—The 'directors of Huron Child-

menda,tions of Hon. Louis Cecile's advisory com-
mittee . on child welfare, according to; a report
placed before County Council by the secretarY,
John G. Berry.
In particular, they do' not
approve a ptoPpsal to amalga-
mate societies under a regional
welfare authority, It is propos-
ed by the advisory' committee
that -the number of CAS juris-
dictions be reduced, and the
service of Children's Aid So-
cieties, "may" be purchased. •

regional boards, the Hurpn
:board comments: "We are com-
pletely satisfied with , our rela-
tionship with county council,
and feel that enlarging -the area
and reducing our representation
of county councillors would not
be in the beat interests of our
children or our" community."

The advisory committee spent
two years studying the child
welfare field, -under, chairman-
ship of Charles J. FosterTor-
-onto. To "his committee the'

• This Mass 'will be -the first in
English offered at any Military
• Base in Canada or Overseas. It
precedes the general permission
which, will extend to --all Church-
es an Canada beginning March
7; 1965.
Education Program
In preparation for this. Mass
the Station Chaplain 'has em-
barked on a program of litur-
gical education for the adults
and children of the parish. It
envolyes familiarizing everyone
with the prayers of the Mass
which the people wili say in
English with the priest.
In keeping with the liturgic-
al reforms authorized by the
Vatican Cquncil, the Mass Al-
tar now faces the people.
, The Station Chaplain, Fath-
er Hussey, reports a very fav-
orable reaction on the part. of
the people since the Mass nas
'been offered facing the congre-
gation. The people are more
attentive because they have a
more intimate view of the action
Of the Mass.
More intelligible
In February 1964 English was -
authorized for the Epistle and
Gospel parts of the Mass. This
permission now extends to all
prayers of the Maes except that
small part which surrounds the
Consecration of the Mass.
The addition of English
throughout the Mass will make
the Sacrifice more intelligible,
and point out in English What
has been prayed for centuries
in Latin*, that the prayers of
the Mass are prayers of Adora.

New Warden
Values The Press
GObERICH—The new war-
-dee of Huron values the press
as a factor in maintaining a
feeling of partnership between
citizens and county council, and
believes the -newspapers should
receive "as much information
as possible". He touched upon
this subject in addressing coun-
cil before the vote for warden
was taken.
"it is generally conceded," he
said, 'that municipal govern.:
Meet is closest to the people,
and it is essential that it work
efficiently. The one ingredient
to make it week efficiently is a
Well informed public. As to the
press, I believe as much infer-
-nation as possible- should be
given to :these people.
"It it important that the in-
formation be . accurate, Noth-
ing causes alarm and suspicion
so quickly as an impressione
that something is being con-
cealed. Full explanation., creat-
es a feeling of partnership be-
tween citizens and council which
can only be achieved by the co-
operation of press and council."
